Look at me in the eyes. Shean put his hat back on and left. My husband is the jealous type.\nRich is taking care of the kids. Imagine what it would be like if you had a time machine. I'll tell someone. The plane had just taken off when my wife suddenly started to panic.\nShe was similar to me in many ways. It takes time. It's a six minutes' walk to the bus stop. I'm not giving you any money. This dress fits me very well. I'd be very happy if you'd help me. The new street is being built. Masanobu seems to have caught a cold. Fools rush in where angels fear to tread. Is anything the matter?\nI didn't try to go any further.\nForgive them. Ning is innocent. Robert bakes bread about once a week. I have once lived in Beijing, but now live in Seoul. What do you intend to do with that girl? Having no will is the worst handicap. You will melt.\nBe prepared! Tell me how it goes. The meeting is held once in three years. Define for me stupidity! But that's not all that happened. He's closing everything. Southern men, Northern women.\nSince the bus was late, I took a taxi. What are his true intentions?\nWe took it for granted that he would approve of the plan. \"What did you have for dinner?\" \"Grilled shrimp and baked zucchini with garlic sauce over rice noodles.\" You were lucky to catch up with us. Sugih did well. You're vain. We are still shocked by what has hit us, but we will never give up our values. Our response is more democracy, more openness, more humanity. We went there. She is not old enough to travel abroad by herself.\nA book is lying on the desk. Valerie and Ken have never been close friends. How many girlfriends does Hunter have? The colony declared independence. Del tried to stop Fletcher from talking to John.\nI love passing time with you. Colin is studying in Boston. Keep an open mind. Don't you want to know the reason? I will prove them wrong. How come you know French so well?\nHe is one of the most hilarious comedians. Elaine wants me to do this now. The permafrost is thawing. How do I know who I can trust? He did not repent of his idleness till he failed in the examination. Sedovic and Isidore were trapped by a blizzard. The great river was dark with silt. How long is your spring vacation? I love fairy tales. The princess wore a golden dress.\nBecause of his great professional skill, the lawyer has a large number of clients. You chicken out again, you coward? I didn't expect to ever see him again. Joyce has the information Turkeer needs. I'll stay here a whole month. Rain by its absence ruins men; and by its existence restores them to fortune I think Cristina is unambitious.\nPut your sunglasses on. He is looked up to by his friends. Willie didn't answer the question directly. Let's sing that English song.\nI can play the piano after a fashion. I lost my temper. We know who they are. It would've been better if you'd stayed with Frederic. I am wondering if you would like to go and see Kabuki with me while staying in Japan. He failed because he did not have money.\nWillie couldn't reach the top shelf. This better not happen again. This is an impossible task. This test will gauge your reading comprehension. I want some albums. Please show me some. Why won't you accept it? Why did Toerless tell you? \"Why am I so tall?\" someone asked his father. The father answered him: \"Because you're my son, of course.\" Is it exciting?",

        "title": "The BIM Jedi (formally the Revit Jedi): Initiating Change",
        "raw_content": "I was in Calgary and Edmonton last week attending two meetings.\nThe first was the BIM Health Check run by the Calgary BIM Community. The second was organised by a friend of mine from Athabasca University on Virtual Design Studio. Both meetings were very informative and were well attended by prominent members of the local AEC industries.\nWhat I realized after participating in the discussions during the meetings and the conversations that transpired afterwards was that I believe we are in a cross roads in the AEC industry. All be it a rather large cross road, the days of kicking off BIM are behind us, most of us have now adopted BIM and it is now an integral part of our workflow. We now \"collaborate\" with each other by sharing models for the purpose of coordination. Some of us are collaborating with the construction companies for QTO and 4D and 5D scheduling and cost analysis, however few of us are utilizing the model beyond construction.\nTwo answers came to mind when I asked why...\n1: The client. Typically the building owner or operator do not understand the value and implications of utilizing the Building Information Model.\n2: Demand. Currently in Canada we do not have a mandate by the authorities to demand projects be completed utilizing BIM.\nI'll address point #1 first.\nThroughout my BIM career I have had the opportunity to speak to many people, train and instruct Architects, Engineers, tech's, contractors, sub trades etc.... but very few opportunities to actually speak to the people who gain the most from BIM... the Client! Be it the building owner or operator... not sure if it's because it's hard to get these people together in one room or if they are a shy, rare species?\nThere is no demand for north America to embrace BIM, really... compared to Europe where space and resources are limited they have a vested interest to build and design spaces that are efficient and innovative. Here in North America we have lots of space and resources. In comparison to Europe we have recently adopted a sustainability initiative.\nThere is no mandate by the authorities demanding us to utilize BIM.\nRight now what I'm seeing is a push by the large construction companies demanding full collaboration as they can utilize the BIM for clash detection, construction sequencing and cost analysis. This is great, however we need to take it a step further and use the BIM for building maintenance and facilities management and even one step beyond that for building demolition and recycling (cradle to cradle design).\nCurrently the construction industry is based upon a outdated model that has not progressed with the technology available to us, this includes the contract types, bid process and even submission to authorities. We need to change that, for the better of our projects and ultimately for the better of the industry.\nOn my way to the airport on Thursday I had dinner with a friend of mine Justin James of Reach Consulting, we (actually mainly him) talked about making a difference to the industry.\nI agree, we can make a difference and the changes don't have to be huge. We can initiate change in small increments, which as a whole can initiate larger change.\nSo if you have the opportunity to talk to your client, contractor, sub trades and authorities about utilizing BIM you too can initiate change.\nLabels: Initiating Change\nMichael W. Sullivan 10 November 2014 at 15:14\nRight on Scott! It is up to us in the industry to be at the forefront of initiating change and to be part of the solution in ensuring success in adopting these changes. To this end, I had lunch today with an instructor at VCC and also meet with the Department Head to express my views on implementing program curriculum that reflects the effect of BIM on our industry.",

What are the basics?\nThe richest man in Babylon a best-selling book told readers of the knowledge passed down the centuries to becoming wealthy, for a free copy sign up to our newsletter.\nThe book told us that ten percent of all you earn should be used to invest in things that make more money, and nothing works more ardently for money than money itself.\nSo you have a bit of cash saved how to make that work harder for you?\nDeciding what to invest in is a constant challenge for even the most seasoned investor. Nobody really knows that the stock market will do tomorrow. However, an analysis of the last 20 years, 50 years and even 100 years shows that among stocks, bonds, gold, real estate, ICO\u2019S and bank money markets, without a doubt the best place to invest has been the stock market.\nTherefore if you are trying to decide what to invest in, if you have a time horizon of more than a few years, the best place to invest is the stock market.\nNow that you have a good financial advisor, (if you don\u2019t then contact us we can introduce you to well-regulated and experienced financial people) it\u2019s time to decide what your risk factor is and what to invest in.\nThe best place to start is with some Exchange Traded Funds, or ETFs. ETFs are a way to buy a basket of stocks in a single transaction. One of the most popular ETFs is one that matches the S&P500 Index. It has a ticker symbol of SPY.\nMoney works hardest for money\nThis is popular because a lot of people have the attitude of \u2018if you can\u2019t beat them, then join them.\u2019 In other words, instead of trying to pick stocks that will outperform the stock market, just invest in stocks that match the market. The SPY is the probably the safest place to start when you are trying to decide what to invest in for the first time.\nWhen you are ready to start choosing individual stocks, we suggest you subscribe to one of the top performing stock newsletters. The one that has performed best over the last decade has been the Motley Fool\u2019s Stock Advisor which is up 300% compared to the SP\u201985%. This service is very well priced and is well worth it as you get up to a dozen picks each month.\nWe suggest signing up for their service, and reading their stock analysis. Even if you don\u2019t buy all of their picks, it is a GREAT way to learn about researching stocks and what to look for when you are trying to decide what to invest in.\nHaving a good financial investor and keeping an eye on how things are developing should always stand you in good stead.\nIn the main you should;\nResearch ETFs\nETFs have become hugely popular over the recent years as a way for novice investors to begin investing. In addition to index ETFs that match the SP500 or the DOW Jones Industrial Average, there are ETFs specific to industries, countries, metals, oils, currencies, etc.\nSelect your stocks based on specific criteria (sector, industry etc.) Use a screener to further sort companies by dividend yield, market cap and other super useful metrics.\nTry to stay up-to-date. Read stock analysis articles. Read financial news releases. Stay critical. But try to remember the real money is in the long term but there is no harm in keeping an eye on things.\nBonds, or fixed-income securities, are debt investments in which an investor loans money to an entity, with interest. The borrower borrows the funds for either a fixed or variable period of time.\nMutual funds are operated by money managers and should match the investor\u2019s objective. They are made up of a bunch of funds collected from many investors and the purpose is to invest in securities like stocks, bonds, etc.\nSmall-cap investors are the risk takers. These small companies have huge potential for growth. However \u2013 because they are often under-recognized, more research is necessary. This requires the investor to have more time available to properly crunch numbers.\nLarge-cap investors are more conservative \u2013 these guys like to play it safe. With their steady dividend payouts, these big-cap blue chip companies are as stable as they come.\nPenny stocks are super high risk because of their lack of liquidity. Beginners are often lured in to these stocks because of their insanely low share price. This allows investors to hold thousands of shares for a relatively small amount of invested capital. With a scale like that, the gain of just a few cents per share can translate into major returns.\nPenny Stocks worth it?\nIf you feel that all this is just too much for your noggin to handle, contact us and we can put you into a well-managed investment portfolio with good communication between the managers and the investor. People who can give you clear layman\u2019s terms how these stocks work and how to help you get into the best investment vehicles.\nContact us for a free no obligation meeting with our experienced and certified Investors",

The Washington Post had their Foreign Service cover the story, not a sports reporter. One of the local TV sports channels didn\u2019t even mention it last night.

After living here for over four years, I can tell you that the city is dog friendly to a point. The city by the bay consistently ranks up there as one of the most dog friendly in the country, but before you decide to bring Fido everywhere you go, you should consult some resources, so you\u2019ll be sure to have a great experience. Here are a few lists that should help:\nThese Are the Places to Take Your Dog in SF\nSan Francisco Dog Friendly 12 Dog-Friendly SF Bars and Restaurants\nThe 11 Best Dog Parks In San Francisco\n\u201cFrom them comes silence and awe\u201d \u2013 John Steinbeck\nThere is so much to see and do in Northern California: San Francisco, Lake Tahoe, Wine Country, the state\u2019s capital, and the list goes on. I grew up here, so I decided to go to a place I had never been before: Redwood National Park.\nSteinbeck got it right. The trees that give this park its name are truly something to behold. Redwood National Park is in the very northwestern corner of California. In addition to the trees, Redwood includes vast prairies, oak woodlands, wild rivers, and miles of rugged coastline. Redwood is a beautiful and relaxing park to visit. I enjoyed it because due to its location, it doesn\u2019t get the massive crowds that many of the other California parks get.\nIf you\u2019ve traveled to any National Park, then you already know about the challenges that come with bringing your dog to one. Redwood does follow the standard rules regarding dogs in the park and on trails, but that doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t have a great experience there with your pooch with a little bit of planning. There are number of trails and beaches around the park that welcome dogs. Check out the official Pet Brochure that has a map of 12 different spots that are dog-friendly.\nYou can also let your dogs off their leashes and run free at any of these beaches:\nLuffenholtz\nMad River County Park\nSamoa Dunes Recreation Area\nAnd if there are a few spots you want to check out where dogs aren\u2019t allowed, it\u2019s almost always cool temperatures in the area, so you can leave your pup in the car for a short while if necessary.",

        "title": "Fiction University: E is for Everyone: E-Books and Self Publishing",
        "raw_content": "E is for Everyone: E-Books and Self Publishing\nI don't know how many of you read J.A. Konrath's blog, but he's been publishing his out of print backlist on e-books himself. He just hit the $100K mark on book sales. If you've ever considered a self publishing career (or any publishing career really), go spend some time on his blog. Konrath's been very candid about what he makes and what he's selling and how he's done all of it. It's a fascinating look at this side of the business.\nMy first thought when I started following his posts, was that it made perfect sense that he was doing so well. He has a sizable backlist (all the right had reverted to him), spent years building a following, has a popular blog and platform, and has readers waiting for his next book. He has the perfect situation for a self published scenario.\nBut Konrath's latest post says that this works for any author.He lists new authors who are doing this as well, and being successful.I admit I met this with skepticism. The hardest part about selling books is telling folks you have a book. If you have no one marketing your books, how would readers ever know about them?\nThen something came to me last night that made me reevaluate this.\nNow, I'm not an e-book reader. I don't like them, though I imagine a day will come when my issues with them will be overcome and I'll enjoy them as much as a traditional book. Technology is like that. But I know folks who love e-readers, and I thought about how they buy books.\nOne is a writer and is exposed to books all the time. She hears about a book, and goes to the e-book store and buys it, just like traditional book buying.\nAnother looks at the low-cost area of the e-book store and finds stuff that looks interesting. He'll buy a specific book when he wants it, but he wants books for his cool new gadget and he doesn't want to pay a lot for them.\nThis is when it hit me. This is one reason why Konrath (and perhaps those new authors he mentioned) are successful. E-books are purchased differently that traditional paper books. Those with e-readers probably also have other gadgets and are used to being able to click a button, spend a few bucks and buy something to entertain them. (There's a ap for that) Authors pricing themselves in that affordable range are sitting in prime e-book real estate. That's the \"front of the store displays\" for e-books. This is where e-book buyers are browsing.\nWith today's technology, the times they are a changing. If I had a backlist, I sure as heck would be following Konrath's advice and turning them into low-cost e-books. If/when my books go out of print, I can see myself doing this. I can even see going this route for any future books I write that a traditional publisher doesn't want.\nWould I ever try this first and skip the traditional publisher?\nI don't think so. I've been very lucky with my publishing experience so far. I like and find a lot of value in what they offer me. As publishing evolves, that will no doubt change (for better and for worse in some areas), and I'll naturally do what I feel is best for my writing career, but I'm happy where I am.\nIt's interesting to watch those future options unfold, though. There are more opportunities for writers now than ever before. And don't let the doomsayers tell you differently.\nLabels: e-books, self-publishing\nPiedmont Writer Sep 27, 2010, 9:57:00 AM\nJA Konrath is one smart cookie that's for sure. I wish I had some back list titles. Maybe if my regency series doesn't go, I'll put that out there under a pen name. Great post thanks.\nAnne R. Allen Sep 27, 2010, 12:51:00 PM\nKonrath is paving the way to the future. The only reason I haven't Kindled my backlist is the issue of cover art. We don't own our cover art, even if rights to the books have reverted to us. And covers need to be different for thumbnails online than for actual books on a shelf. But I'm working on it...\nKira Sep 27, 2010, 2:47:00 PM\nWould anyone mind explaining what a backlist is? It's a term I keep hearing a lot, but I'm not entirely sure what it means. Thanks!\nBacklist is just the \"previously published\" books of an author. New releases are frontlist, everything else is backlist. Someone just did a great blog post about the difference between front and back list and midlist and I can't find it. If anyone remembers seeing it, please post.\nYou so nailed it Janice. It's the purchasing style that's different for e-book readers. It's hard to imagine how new authors can have much success but maybe that's just because I am still thinking in the trad print mentality - way back with the caveman to quote Konrath. Exciting times. Especially when backlisters and even out of print books can potentially make you money.\nCarradee Sep 27, 2010, 6:53:00 PM\nI read Konrath's post last week, and the funny thing is, when he listed some example other authors who were doing well self-publishing\u2026 I had already READ Amanda Hocking. I'd been browsing Amazon, noticed the cover art for Switched, and was pleasantly surprised to find that it had been self-published.\nI've been seriously considering the self-publishing route. I like how up-front you are about if you'd self-publish and what. It actually makes me more inclined to try it, even though I'm still researching some technicalities. I'm curious to see what kind of following I could build, and I'm very glad I'm not a cat, because otherwise, my curiosity would've killed me long ago.\nI've therefore been intentionally looking for self-published books to buy, to get an idea for what types of things are missed in them. Clicking on the cover for Amanda Hocking's book on Amazon (and checking out her website, and e-mailing her, and receiving her helpful reply) altogether ended up in me discovering that low-priced e-book market. I'd heard of it, yeah. But I hadn't thought of going to look for it.\nThat's made me look into self-publishing even more, and some of the Print-on-Demand services actually allow lower price points on books than they once did, so a self-publisher could offer a print version of their book at the same or even sometimes a lower price than a traditional publisher. (Not sure how their physical quality compares, just yet.)\nThis is a little scary, because it means the slush pile can move onto the customer. Hopefully, that means folks in general will gain greater appreciation for how quickly agents/editors/etc can tell they won't like a book. I fear, though, that readers seeing their grammar errors \"codified\" in PUBLISHED! NOVELS! will only worsen the common abuse of the English language.\nSorry if my comment's too long. >_<\nEric Sep 27, 2010, 7:37:00 PM\nI think you hit the major issue when you wrote \"The hardest part about selling books is telling folks you have a book.\" Absolutely. Is it possible that your e-book is noticed on Amazon and starts climbing the ranks and starts getting lots of great reviews? Yes, but it's going to be difficult and often you won't know exactly why or how it all got set off.\nI have friends who are professional software developers. They are making i-Phone aps in their spare time. It's good stuff. Yet, it is extremely difficult to get noticed on the Ap Store. There are hundreds of thousands of aps out there, how do you get noticed even with a great product at a low price? The answer is, you get lucky or you have a major track record.\nAgents and publishers are gatekeepers. It does not guarantee quality, but you certainly have a higher expectation of quality if a book is published in the traditional manner. e-book publishing removes the gatekeepers. It can be good, but more likely, you'll see more and more books published that way. How does the reader sort out the likely good books from the bad?\nI think this area is where the publishers need to step up their marketing. It's the one huge benefit to having a publisher in the e-book world. They'll get you noticed and their good name will help convince people of a good product.\nWill some people still go dumpster diving trying to find the gem amongst the detritus? Sure. But I doubt the majority of readers will do so.\nThat's just my opinion on the subject. I don't think it contradicts your take on it though.\nbtw, I just got my new Kindle last week. I read the latest Robin Hobb book on it and I'm hooked. I like it a lot. And, I went dumpster diving to see what I could find. Nothing yet, although I did pick up some Sherlock Holmes for $3. Doyle has a great style.\nKris Dalpiaz Sep 28, 2010, 12:08:00 AM\nFrom what I've read, the biggest selling points for e-books are the cover and the price, so if you're going to pursue e-publishing, find a good designer and set a low price point. How is this different than traditional publishing? Gate keepers. Without gate keepers, publishing is a mess. The entire market becomes a slush pile, only we have to pay to sift through it. The market will mature as publishers figure out how to handle it, but until then I'm shooting for traditional publishing.\nExactly. Finding good books now is easy since so many blog and talk about them. I wonder if blogger's roles will increase as self publishing takes off? Will self pubbers submit to bloggers same as the big houses? With they become the *new* gatekeepers? I can see e-book only blogs popping up.\nI can also see the middle man occupations popping up more. Book promoters expanding their services, more editors doing freelance work, more illustrators doing freelance covers, designers (like me) doing more layout design. I think it'll become easier and easier to self publish (and cheaper).\nSelf publishing isn't going to be for everyone, and I always recommend a long, hard look at the industry to anyone thinking about it, but there are avenues open to writers and book lovers now they've never had before. The stigma isn't what it once was.\nI can even see blogger groups, where you have a half dozen or so writers blogging, forming their own publishing company to sell their books. They already have a platform and way to promote their work, readers coming to their blogs. Seems like a natural outlet for many.\nIt'll also be interesting to see how book stores adapt to this. Wouldn't it be cool to have an e-book account with a store, you wander through the shelves and just scan or enter a number into your e-reader and poof! you download the book? You can still browse the shelf and page through the book, but you have the opportunity to buy it there electronically, and then go have coffee with your friends in the restaurant area. I can see book stores enhancing the social hub they're starting to create now.\nStuart Clark Sep 28, 2010, 4:19:00 PM\nI don't think you need to \"skip the traditional publisher\" to be able to do this. Your publisher should get the print rights to your book, but there's no reason why you can't negotiate to keep your electronic rights. In which case you can do the ebook thing on your own.\nTrue, though standard contract is to sell those along with print rights. Too late for me now, but it's something folks can discuss with their agents (if they have them) going forward. I know e-book rights are a hot topic with agents right now regarding how they're being handled.\nThomas Hardy Oct 4, 2010, 4:01:00 PM\nI spend a portion of my time watching digital trends. These digital trends tend to mimic the life cycle of larger traditional trends, but they do so at an accelerated pace. For example, a given industry may come into being, grow, reach it's peak and fade away over several decades. In a \"ripped from today's headlines\" example, we have Blockbuster whose decades long video rental dominance has now met with bankruptcy in the wake of Netflix and digital distribution. The digital equivalents of these trends happen in a fraction of the time, with events played out in a couple of years instead of decades. Once upon a time it took many years for a new industry or technology to take hold and build up a critical mass.\nWhen I look at self publishing, I see a digital trend that has a strong potential to quickly build to a critical mass. The important question, I think, is to ask yourself \u201cWhere are we on the curve of adoption and what does that mean?\u201d\nToday the self-publishing market is huge right? So easy to do, so many people doing it. And success stories from today\u2019s market are big news. But we are very early in the curve of adoption. If the self-publishing market explodes to be 100 or 1000 times what it is today, it will become even more easy to get lost in the clutter. As one poster above put it, the slush pile gets moved to the customer\u2019s e-reader. The easier it gets to do, and the more success stores we hear to fuel the growth, the faster and further it will grow.\nMaking oneself visible in the e-reader store today is one kind of challenge. Making oneself visible in a few years will be a completely different kind of challenge. Think of YouTube as a corollary. A few years ago, when relatively few videos were posted, the best quickly rose to the top of the popular lists. When you look at it today, there\u2019s so many videos hidden by obscurity that you have no way to learn they exist. A vast library of quality videos exists that do not see the light of day except by those that know of them already. It\u2019s not a perfect example, but I think you can see what I\u2019m getting at. When the number of self-published books reaches a critical mass, readers finding your book by stumbling across it will become less and less common.\nUnlike YouTube though, readers will often be paying for the product before they know the quality. Factor in the number of books that get purchased in a year by a reader as compared to how many YouTube videos you can watch in a single hour and the challenge becomes even more daunting. It won\u2019t take long before readers are too jaded to spend money on anything that is not well reviewed, advertised or in some way differentiated.\nAnother potential parallel is the App market for the iPhone. When the iPhone was new, software development teams made up of one or two people created apps and launched them. It was a brand new gold rush. Single developers made millions in just months. Flash forward to today. The App store is big business now. Individual developers see increasingly shrinking revenues because it\u2019s not an empty space waiting for anyone to come along and post something to buy. Big companies have divisions dedicated now to making iPhone apps. Hundreds of thousands of apps are ready for download now. But the buying public only has so much money to spend and it is now divided between a hundred thousand publishers instead of a couple of dozen.\nSo as we look at the e-reader market, ask yourself \u201cWhere is the trend going, and what does it mean to me?\u201d",

        "title": "My life, under the microscope...: Cooper's hawks and women's fashions",
        "raw_content": "No, the two are not related, they are just the two things on my mind. I almost lost my nearly-blind BBRed hen to a Cooper's hawk this evening. \"Catty\" has bad cataracts (hence her name, I know, how weird) and can only see in certain directions--behind and above is not one of those directions. So I was heading in after collecting eggs, and I heard a bunch of squawking and out of the corner of my eye saw what looked like two birds \"tumbling\" across the driveway. Immediately I knew what was going on, so I ran out there with the dogs close at my heels. The hawk was perched on top of a roll of fencing, and Catty had scrambled inside the roll. I went straight for the hawk, and when the dogs saw me going after it, they went after it too and barked while it flew off. Good for them, I want them to learn I don't like hawks around the birds (the dogs hate pigeons too, and will chase them). Catty is fine, other than some emotional bruising. I couldn't find a scratch on her, but she was pretty shook up. Poor girl, she's unfortunately an easy target. Kids love that bird, she is so easy to catch (of course, she can't see much!) and she's really docile when caught. Seems like EVERY summer there is a very brazen juvenile Cooper's hawk that hangs out and harasses the birds. Can't be the same one, it's a juvenile every year! Arg. I am not a hawk-hater, don't get me wrong. I would never harm one. I have a lot of respect and admiration for birds of prey, and everybody has to eat. I just don't like it when they choose my birds as their potential meals! 99% of my birds are cooped up, so it's not usually an issue. Maybe it will go away.\nThe other thing on my mind tonight is the current state of women's fashions. I had to go to the mall today to attempt to find something to wear to a family reunion thing this weekend, and holy moley there is a lot of ugly stuff out there. Not just ugly, but totally unflattering. How do people bend over in those short skirts??? How do people cram their feet into those pointy shoes? There are some really cute looking shirts, but geez they are not flattering! Unless of course someone fits into a size small...but hey, that's not me. One would think that clothing designers would realize that someone who doesn't wear the little bitty sizes might not look really hot in a skin-tight shirt...right? Yeesh. So I think instead of trying to look nice this weekend we should have a \"wear the ugliest thing you can find at the mall\" party. For me, it would be the orange/black/brown/white broomstick skirt (think calico cat), a lime green velour and lace halter top so low cut that it would leave NOTHING to the imagination (I am assuming one is supposed to wear something under those?? Or do you just not bend over? Gosh if you wore that with a little butt-bearing skirt you couldn't even walk safely!) and of course to finish the outfit it would have to be the rainbow-sequined pointy-toed high heel shoes. Oh yeah, I'd be hot stuff...sheesh. Shopping is bad for self-esteem.\nWhat a strange country this is, where you can buy diapers for ducks but it's hard to find decent clothes for humans.",

        "raw_content": "Since I retired in May of 2006 I have seen as many operas as I could, including a number of operas that I had not seen before. Anyone can still have things to look forward to. Maybe I should make a wish list.\nIn June 2006 I saw my first Tchaikovsky's The Maid of Orleans at the San Francisco Opera. Dolora Zajick made this a fabulous experience.\nThen in September 2006 I experienced Handel's Semele at the New York City Opera in a spectacular Marilyn Monroe vs Jackie Kennedy production with Elizabeth Futral and Vivica Genaux. This may be Handel's only comedy and has become a personal favorite.\nIn October 2006 I went to Baltimore to see Elizabeth Futral and Vivica Genaux together again in Rossini's The Siege of Corinth. This was the version created for Beverly Sills and Marilyn Horne.\nSurely I must have seen Massenet's Manon before I went to Los Angeles, but none of them made any impression at all. Perhaps Netrebko's performance erased all others.\nAll of these new experiences were incredible. It is a lot of fun traveling around looking for operas. I have been deliberately seeking out new operas to experience, beginning with Maw's Sophie's Choice at the Washington National Opera. It was a rare instance of a new opera with what I felt to be a good libretto and bad writing for voices. The good libretto is the rare part. Bad writing for voices is not that unusual.\nIn January 2007 I had a new opera experience in the simulcasts from the Metropolitan Opera with Tan Dun's The First Emperor . I liked the first half but felt it petered out after that.\nThen I went to Europe to see Cecilia in Handel's Semele and saw also Handel's Il Trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno in Zurich. This work was not originally intended to be staged, but seemed to be relatively successful as an opera.\nThere were no other new ones until April 2007 when I saw my first Suor Angelica from Puccini's Il Trittico in the Met simulcast. Stephanie Blythe made this successful for me. That same month I saw my first Handel's Flavio at Pocket Opera in San Francisco. This was not good. There are probably a lot more Handel Operas I haven't seen.\nIn May 2007 I saw something that was newly created: Gounod / Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet at the Berkeley Opera. Shakespeare's play and Gounod's Opera were combined in a shotgun wedding.\nIn June 2007 I saw my first performance of Gluck's Iphig\u00e9nie en Tauride at the San Francisco Opera. I don't really remember seeing a Gluck opera before this. I apologize for the way I described this performance, which was really quite lovely.\nIn July 2007 I went to Santa Fe because of all the operas they were doing that I hadn't seen. I saw Strauss' Daphne in a concert performance at Kennedy Center but Santa Fe was my first staged version. Rameau's Plat\u00e9e was new, as was Dun's Tea, a Mirror of Soul.\nIn August 2007 I went to Glimmerglass for the same reason. Monteverdi's L'Orfeo was the only opera I had seen before--last year in London. Gluck's Orph\u00e9e et Eurydice , Offenbach's Orpheus in the Underworld and\nGlass' Orph\u00e9e were all new.\n16 out of 31 operas in this time period were new for me. This is rather an awesome statistic. I do seek out things I haven't seen before, and I would be bored to death by endless repetitions of La Boheme. There are a couple of instances where I may have simply forgotten performances that I saw years before.\nLong ago I saw Bellini's I Puritani in Sacramento at the barnlike Memorial Auditorium with Joan Sutherland, so Netrebko's version was not the first.\nIt has been a truly extraordinary year, and I am not suddenly poor. Of all these new operas I think these are my favorites:\nTchaikovsky's The Maid of Orleans for the incredible power of the singing of Dolora Zajick.\nGlass' Orph\u00e9e for the abstraction and lyricism of a new opera.\nHandel's Semele both productions for the gorgeous music, lightness of spirit and high quality performances by some great stars.\nDun's Tea, a Mirror of Soul for the depth of concept and originality of execution.\nRossini's The Siege of Corinth for Vivica Genaux.\nGluck's Iphig\u00e9nie en Tauride I'm not really sure why. It's sneakily engulfing.\nThe list does not include any videos which also included a lot of new operas. It's nice to think that after all these years of going to the opera it's still possible to see something new.\nLabels: Vivica Genaux",

        "raw_content": "Honda to collaborate on open smart-charging for EVs\nWe're going to lead with General Motors here. GM is one of eight automakers working with 15 utilities and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) at developing a \"smart\" plug-in vehicle charging system. Why did we start with GM? Because it's the first automaker whose press release we read that mentioned the other seven automakers. Points for sharing.\nFor the record, the collaboration also includes BMW, Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, Honda, Chrysler, Mitsubishi and Ford. The utilities include DTE Energy, Duke Energy, Southern California Edison and Pacific Gas & Electric.\nThe idea is to develop a so-called \"demand charging\" system in which an integrated system lets the plug-ins and utilities communicate with each other so that vehicle charging is cut back at peak hours, when energy is most expensive, and ramped up when the rates drop. Such entities say there's a sense of urgency to develop such a system because the number of plug-in vehicles on US roads totals more than 225,000 today and is climbing steadily.\nThere's a lot of technology involved, obviously, but the goal is to have an open platform that's compatible with virtually any automaker's plug-in vehicle. No timeframe was disclosed for when such a system could go live but you can find a press release from EPRI below.\nEPRI, Utilities, Auto Manufacturers to Create an Open Grid Integration Platform for Plug-in Electric Vehicles\nPALO ALTO, Calif. (July 29, 2014) \u2013 The Electric Power Research Institute, 8 automakers and 15 utilities are working to develop and demonstrate an open platform that would integrate plug-in electric vehicles (PEV) with smart grid technologies enabling utilities to support PEV charging regardless of location.\nThe platform will allow manufacturers to offer a customer-friendly interface through which PEV drivers can more easily participate in utility PEV programs, such as rates for off-peak or nighttime charging. The portal for the system would be a utility's communications system and an electric vehicle's telematics system.\nAs the electric grid evolves with smarter functionality, electric vehicles can serve as a distributed energy resource to support grid reliability, stability and efficiency. With more than 225,000 plug-in vehicles on U.S. roads -- and their numbers growing -- they are likely to play a significant role in electricity demand side management.\nThe platform enables integration across multiple communication pathways, such as automated metering infrastructure (AMI), home area networks, building energy management systems, and third party entities that aggregate energy management services for commercial and industrial power customers.\nResearchers anticipate that grid operators in the future may call on electric vehicles to contribute to grid reliability by balancing solar and wind generation, mitigating demand charges and providing ancillary services such as frequency regulation and voltage support.\nUtilities and regional transmission organizations participating and supporting in the software and hardware development and demonstration include DTE Energy Company, Duke Energy, PJM Interconnection LLC, CenterPoint Energy, Inc., Southern Company, Northeast Utilities, Southern California Edison, Pacific Gas & Electric Company, San Diego Gas & Electric, Commonwealth Edison, TVA, Manitoba Hydro, Austin Energy, Con Edison and CPS Energy.\nAuto manufacturers are American Honda Motor Co., BMW Group, Chrysler Group LLC, Ford Motor Company, General Motors Co., Mercedes-Benz Research & Development North America, Inc., Mitsubishi Motors Corporation, and Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America, Inc.\n\"A key aspect of the platform's benefits will be giving customers flexibility and choices,\" said Dan Bowermaster, EPRI manager of Electric Transportation. \"It can help the PEV customer determine the value of using their parked vehicle as a grid resource, and help the industry develop a convenient, user-friendly customer interface. We see this as the foundation for future developments to integrate PEVs with the grid.\"\nAdditionally, it could increase service reliability to customers by helping to mitigate the impact of strain on the grid during peak periods and could contribute to curbing greenhouse gas emissions. Utilities might benefit by better managing their loads and avoiding upgrades to infrastructure --savings that can be passed onto utility customers.\nSumitomo Electric will develop the core platform technology on the first phase of the project.\nThis software platform aligns with the Vehicle Grid Integration (VGI) Roadmap Initiative of the California Public Utilities Commission and the California Independent System Operator, as well as conforming with standards set by IEEE, IEC/ISO, and SAE, and Open ADR Alliance, making it globally applicable.\nThe Electric Power Research Institute, Inc. (EPRI, www.epri.com) conducts research and development relating to the generation, delivery and use of electricity for the benefit of the public. An independent, nonprofit organization, EPRI brings together its scientists and engineers as well as experts from academia and industry to help address challenges in electricity, including reliability, efficiency, affordability, health, safety and the environment. EPRI's members represent approximately 90 percent of the electricity generated and delivered in the United States, and international participation extends to more than 30 countries. EPRI's principal offices and laboratories are located in Palo Alto, Calif.; Charlotte, NC; Knoxville, Tenn.; and Lenox, Mass.\n\"Rain\" -- Honda Summer Clearance Event :30\nHonda Financial Services Offers $500 Discount for College Grads\nWhile college graduation parties aren\u2019t typically quite as lavish and overwhelming as high school graduation parties as far as gifts are concerned, Honda Financial Services is interested in giving recent college grads a big, fat $500 gift.

We here at Pacific Honda were very pleased to see that some of the best of them were Honda vehicles.\nLabels: Honda, used Honda Accord\nSelect Honda Pre-Owned Vehicles Recognized as Safer Choices for Teen Drivers by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS)\nCertain model year Honda Accord, CR-V, Element, Odyssey and Pilot vehicles rated as some of the best pre-owned vehicles for teen driver safety\nHonda is the most durable, longest lasting brand in its class\nSeveral model years of Honda pre-owned vehicles have been recognized by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) as part of its first-ever list of safer used vehicles for teen drivers. Research conducted by IIHS found that motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death among teenagers, and suggests that the type of vehicle driven has a big effect on the degree of risk. Further IIHS research showed many teens drive used vehicles lacking important safety technology, and, as a result, a list was compiled to help guide parents in making safer choices.\nHonda pre-owned vehicles earning this first recognition from IIHS as among the best, safer choices for teen drivers under $20,0002 include the Honda Accord Sedan (2012 and later), Accord Coupe (2013-14), CR-V (2012 and later), Element (2007 and later) and Honda Odyssey (2011 and later). Additionally, the Honda Pilot (2006 and later) and the Honda Odyssey (2005-10) were included on the list of good choices for teen drivers under $10,0002.\n\"Enhancing the safety of our customers and the quality of our products is a top priority for Honda,\" said Art St. Cyr, vice president of product planning and logistics at American Honda. \"Our long-term commitment to enhancing safety and durability makes Honda an ideal choice when shopping for safe, reliable transportation, new or pre-owned, for all drivers including teens.\"\nFor added piece of mind, customers choosing a Certified Pre-Owned Honda (http://www.certified.honda.com) vehicle on this list from one of our authorized Honda dealerships, an extensive limited warranty is included. According to IHS Automotive vehicle registration statistics, Honda is the most durable, longest lasting brand in its class1.\nVehicles considered \"best choices\" for under $20,0002 have good ratings for side crash protection, good head restraints and seats for rear crash protection, and good roof strength to protect occupants in rollover crashes. Vehicles considered \"good choices\" for under $10,0002 have good or acceptable side crash protection and head restraints rated better than poor. If rated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the vehicles earn a 4 or 5 Star Overall Vehicle Score, for model years 2011 and later, or 4 or 5 Stars in the front and side crash safety tests for earlier models tested under NHTSA's old rating system.\nAll Honda vehicles on the list come equipped with standard Vehicle Stability Assist\u2122 (VSA\u00ae) with traction control (what IIHS calls Electronic Stability Control or ESC) and provide good protection in moderate overlap front crash tests. According to IIHS, systems like Honda's VSA\u00ae reduce fatal single-vehicle crash risk by about half and fatal multiple-vehicle crash risk by one-fifth (see Status Report, June 19, 2010, at iihs.org).\nHonda has a long history of leadership in the development and application of advanced technologies and designs meant to enhance the safety of all road users, including automobile occupants, motorcycle riders, and pedestrians. The company operates two of the world's most sophisticated crash test facilities in the U.S. and Japan, and is responsible for numerous pioneering efforts in the areas of crashworthiness, airbag technology, collision compatibility and pedestrian safety. American Honda leads the industry for 2014 in third party crash test ratings with more models rated TOP SAFETY PICK and TOP SAFETY PICK+ by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) than any other manufacturer.\nIIHS Best Used Car Choices for Teens Under $20,000: IIHS Good Used Car Choices for Teens Under $10,000:\nHonda Accord Sedan (2012 and later) Honda Pilot (2006 and later)\nHonda Accord Coupe (2013-14) Honda Odyssey (2005-10)\nHonda CR-V (2012 and later)\nHonda Element (2007 and later)\nHonda Odyssey (2011 and later)\nHonda Fit Sweepstakes and Music Festivals\nHonda is teaming up with your favorite music artists this summer to put on the best shows and give you a chance to win the all new Honda Fit, along with VIP tickets to this summer's music festivals.

        "raw_content": "My new path to self-discipline: DBT\nPosted in: Knowing yourself, Productivity December 21st, 2010\nMy new thing is self-discipline. I am going to get better at it. I am nervous writing this, because I don't want to fail.\nSo this is the first thing I know: If you are really serious about doing something, it's painful to tell people, because fear of failure is so high. Once you decide that you really want something enough to shift your life to get it \u2014 at that point you want it so much that you will feel like your life is somehow incomplete if you don't get it. So it is scary just to talk about it.\nThis is how I'm feeling about sugar and bread. I think it only leads to bad things. I think it makes me crazy and I have googled a thousand different sites about addiction to sugar and bread, and I think it's true. Here's what I think:\n1. Food acts like drugs, and some foods make us crave more and more and more like an addictive drug. Eating carbohydrates and sugar is totally unnatural to the human diet.\n2. There is some sort of link between Asperger's and bread. I'm not sure what it is, but we tried taking my son off gluten when he was younger, because so many people say it makes a difference with autism. And while I couldn't really tell with him, I ate the same diet, and I could tell that I was more calm. Most people I know who have Asperger's also have an obsession with gluten. I'm not sure what this means except that I should stay away from it.\n3. I definitely notice a difference when I stay off gluten. I have more energy and I lose weight effortlessly. I think this is because when I eat for emotional reasons I always choose wheat-based products.\n4. When I take myself off bread, I start craving sugar. So I think I also have a problem with sugar. And, confession: I eat a lot of it. No soda or deserts, but tons of sugar in my coffee. All day long.\nThere is a lot that I want to change in my life:\nLess nervous eating\nMore weight lifting\nLess yelling at kids\nMore leaving the house\nLess acting like an agoraphobic\nLess mindless email administrating\nThis is way too big a list, though. What I really want, if I boil it down, is to have more confidence in myself. Then I would believe I could have a good life and I'd do the things I think I need to do to have a good life.\nHere's what happens, though. I say, \u201cOh. Forget it. I'll never stop eating sugar really.\u201dAnd then I dump five spoonfuls into my coffee. You have to believe in yourself that you can create a good life in order to do the life you want.\nWhy is that so hard? I don't know. I mean, I have a pretty good track record for getting what I want. And still: Plagued by the bread crumbs left from last night's dinner.\nSo I am starting dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT). Actually, I started it a while ago but I thought I would sound like a crackpot on the blog if I wrote about it. But it's so cool, that I have to tell you.\nFirst, I'm going to tell you my version of DBT, and it's sort of cultish, to be honest, so if you want to get an official version, click here.\nI know you didn't click, though; of course my version will be more interesting.\nThe idea is that you identify a behavior you want to change, and then, each time you don't do the change, you write down everything you were feeling while you were deciding to not do the change.\nI am on a conference call.\nI feel frustrated that things are not more clear cut with a right path for my company.\n(You have to always use feeling words.)\nI feel anxious that I can\u2019t help think of a solution.\nThen I overreact to feeling powerless and I worry that I\u2019ll be a terrible parent and I\u2019ll never fix it. And maybe I\u2019m terrible at everything.\n(DBT makes you more in touch with how you feel.)\nI tell myself don't go into the kitchen because you will eat bread. I tell myself to just be with the feelings.\nThen I go in the kitchen anyway. I tell myself I can eat just one piece.\nI don\u2019t. I eat ten.\nI feel a strong love for Wonderbread.\nNot now. Then.\nOkay. So you do this a million times for DBT, and what you end up seeing is a pattern\u2014just as you start having strong feelings, you do your vice so you avoid experiencing the feelings.\nSo the only way to know your feelings and understand who you really are is to not do the thing that separates you from the feelings. It's actually a lot more persuasive to me to tell myself I will never have self-knowledge if I eat the bread.\nThat\u2019s why this is a particularly inspiring message for me:\nPlay this game: What would you do if you were a millionaire?\nHi Penelope. I just discovered your blog after reading the book \u201cBeyond Blogging.\u201d I am so excited to hear you talk about DBT! I encourage you to stick with it. I have been through the six month course three times and always learn something new. I was pretty much forced to take the course by my therapist who said it was the best known treatment for Borderline Personality Disorder which I was diagnosed with about five years ago. I thought, I\u2019m not crazy like these other people (judgement, judgement, judgement). I found it saved my life (literally) more than once. I think it should be taught in schools. Again, thanks for bringing DBT into the spotlight. I hope you continue to talk about it.\nPosted by Paula Bostrom on December 21, 2010 at 7:46 am | permalink |\nHi Penelope! Good luck!\n(though for future reference, you should keep your goals to yourself: http://www.ted.com/talks/derek_sivers_keep_your_goals_to_yourself.html)\nPosted by Kaiti on December 21, 2010 at 7:57 am | permalink |\nFirst time commenter\u2026lol\nI am so glad you spoke about sugar and bread. White flour is processed in the body like sugar. So if you give up bread, you crave sugar. The body still wants it.\nI highly recommend one (or both) books:\nNever Be Sick Again http://www.beyondhealth.com/BH_Media/Never_Be_Sick_Again-prod9\nhttp://www.beyondhealth.com/BH_Media/Never_Be_Fat_Again-prod214\nPosted by Rave on December 21, 2010 at 8:13 am | permalink |\nWOW! 5 spoonfuls of sugar in one cup of coffee? Yikes. That is a lot. I don\u2019t eat a lot of sugar but I adore bread. I used to make my own. All the time. Every Sunday. I gained so much weight.\nI too have been trying to cut back. Before it was toast for breakfast, sandwich at lunch, toast after dinner. Now I have managed to cut it down to a sandwich at lunch.\nI find if I eat a hard boiled egg for breakfast, that fills me up instead of the toast. It is really hard to give these things up, I agree. I wish us both lots of luck.\nWhy is it so difficult to do the things we know are good for us and so easy to do the things that are not?\nPosted by Roberta Warshaw on December 21, 2010 at 8:16 am | permalink |\nWhen I receive your blog posts through my email I can no longer click on the title and be directly linked to this site\u2026. Just letting you know.\nPosted by Missy on December 21, 2010 at 8:21 am | permalink |\nPosted by Holly on December 21, 2010 at 9:40 am | permalink |\nThanks for letting me know. I\u2019m bugging Jason, the man of all technical problems on my blog.\nSugaring your coffee that much is less a sign of a sugar addiction and more a sign that you\u2019re drinking crappy coffee.\nTry Trager Brothers: http://www.tbcroasters.com. They have a hilarious video on Facebook, too.\nThis is not spam and I don\u2019t work for TBC. It\u2019s just the best coffee in the world, and this seems like it might help you break the sugar-in-coffee habit.\nPosted by Katelyn Sack on December 21, 2010 at 8:27 am | permalink |\nI have taken very similar dietary steps and it has changed my life. Do it! It is worth it.\nRead this guy\u2019s blog: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/\nPosted by Cory W. on December 21, 2010 at 8:29 am | permalink |\nThis is one of the farmer\u2019s favorite blogs. He talks about it all the time. That, and all his primal eating feeds.\nCarbs carbs carbs. I tried a \u201ccleanse\u201d diet and it drove me mad. I craved bread and carbs like I never have. It was so hard to stick to and I could never stick with it long enough to allow it to work to get rid of the cravings. I have a tough time with emotional eating \u2013 sugar is my deadly sin. Chocolate when I\u2019m stressed, doesn\u2019t matter what the time of day is. I try to tell myself that at least it\u2019s \u2018good\u2019 dark chocolate, like my arteries care, right? I\u2019ll try to be \u2018more in the moment\u2019 and feel what I\u2019m feeling more. Thanks Pen, have a great holiday season with your family.\nPosted by Izzy on December 21, 2010 at 8:33 am | permalink |\nHi Penolope \u2013\n1) 5 spoonfuls of sugar in coffee?!?!? Way too much. In the past I put 2 spoonfuls of sugar in my coffee, then cut down to 1 and now I use none. Try this.\n2) Watch the movie \u201cSupersize Me\u201d to learn about how addicting and harmful sugar and carbohydrate overloading is. I watched it with my wife and kids last night and it was very enlightening. It is a good family movie and we kept stopping the movie and discussing various points. The kids want nothing to do with fast foods any more.\n3) DBT seems good. But, do you find that there may not always be a specific feeling at the time?\n4) Comment above said to keep your goals to yourself. I strongly disagree. If you let others know about your goals, you have more incentive to reach those goals.\nPosted by Steven Pofcher on December 21, 2010 at 8:38 am | permalink |\nYou can do this, Penelope! You know that minding the diet improves your life, and your kids as well. I have celiac disease, so I know well the struggle to live truly gluten free \u2013 and I did a couple of years 100% sugar-free as well, though I allow myself a little now, but it no longer gets out of control. For losing your love of sugar \u2013 try taking the natural supplement gymnema sylvestre \u2013 it will really decrease the cravings, and after a couple weeks of taking it, you probably won\u2019t need to use it any more \u2013 sugar just won\u2019t have the JOY anymore \u2013 and then it\u2019s just you vs your brain to resist the ever-present sweets.\nAnd I know that cooking\u2019s not really a passion for you, but it really does make the gluten-free, sugar-free life easier. Cooking the meals that make me feel good is a kind of meditation now \u2013 I think of it as yoga for my hands and brain. And if you need ideas for cooking, I blog my recipes at http://thewholekitchen.wordpress.com. And if you need help/support on making the transition \u2013 feel free to reach out, I love helping people cook the food that makes them truly well.\nPosted by Jenn Sutherland on December 21, 2010 at 8:50 am | permalink |\nThanks for the suggestions, Jenn. I actually do like cooking, I just don\u2019t write about it.\nSo, I like your idea of cooking healthy food feeling like yoga. I mean, the ingredients we eat on the farm are good. Very basic, our own meat, potatoes, etc. So it does feel good.\nBut I need to figure out what to do with that torn feeling I get when, for example, I bake cookies and the farmer and the boys love eating them. Does it feel good? Does it feel bad? And do I torture myself when I have to face a plate of cookies all day in the kitchen?\nYes! Cooking whole, healthy foods is just as important as getting exercise. I can\u2019t settle myself long enough to do yoga yet, but I can stand in a kitchen and chop and feel the tension leave me. So for now, that\u2019s my yogic activity.\nAs for cookies, bake them once in awhile, and make them gluten-free, so if you eat a few of them, you won\u2019t get the brain-fog & mood swings from the gluten. Glutenfreegirl.com has tons of amazing cookie recipes, or if you don\u2019t like to have 12 kinds of gluten-free flours hanging around, order Pamela\u2019s Gluten-Free Baking Mix from amazon by the case, and use it in place of wheat flour in recipes \u2013 it\u2019s fantastic stuff. More expensive than wheat flour, but it is worth it to be good to your body and brain.\nPosted by Jenn Sutherland on December 21, 2010 at 11:48 am | permalink |\nWow thanks for having the courage to post your personal struggle here. I think we all suffer with various food problems whether it\u2019s the overanalyzing of everything we eat or food addiction itself.\nSome of the people I know who have the best diets, are consumed with the stress that comes with making food choices at every meal. Sometimes I wonder if there is a trade-off between the guilt and the calories.\nI wish you the best of luck on your journey. It sounds like a positive one. Outside of food, when it comes to e-mail I have pretty much declared bankruptcy.\nThese days, a simple auto reply telling people you don\u2019t check your e-mail and to try and reach you via twitter or some other mutations medium is not uncommon. You can always get a virtual assistant to handle your day-to-day e-mail if needed.\nPosted by Brad Gosse on December 21, 2010 at 8:54 am | permalink |\nWhen I was a compulsive eater and felt crazy, I finally figured out that the only answer to crazy was to just stop. It sounds too simple, but its true. I never engaged in any formal therapy because I was too much of a control freak, but, I did start zooming out on myself and observing my impulses as I would have done to a child who can\u2019t control herself. I separated myself into a thinking being and an acting being and let the one side help analyze and counsel the other. Hard to explain. Good luck.\nPosted by Ali on December 21, 2010 at 8:56 am | permalink |\nJenn mentioned \u201cmeditation\u201d in her post\u2013and you have mentioned it as a goal recently. I second the motion.\nIt is a goal for me too, at this point\u2013quieting my mind, cultivating an observing-but-not-judging stance, letting go of the drivenness. Accepting.\nIn the halls of Alverno College, many years ago, was this serigraph:\nBe where you are.\nIs that far?\nIt\u2019s as far as you are.\nChris Keller, MSN, RN\nPosted by chris Keller on December 21, 2010 at 8:58 am | permalink |\nMy personal experience with refined flour and sugar mirrors yours, but I\u2019m not totally in alignment with the Paleo diet as a solution for everyone (I\u2019ve been doing Crossfit workouts for years now, and the Paleo diet is a big trend with Crossfitters).\nFirst, a fair amount of time has passed since humans started with agriculture, and a fair number of generations have gone by as well. It makes sense then that some of us have evolved to adapt to this diet. And, it also makes sense that some of us have not evolved all the way. As well, some of us may have evolved such that these foods are bad for us.\nIn short, the evidence I see indicates that the food which is best for us is somewhat specific to each of us (hey, we all have different talents and capabilities. For example, some folks have a huge ability to process oxygen and run forever at a high rate of speed; others can grow muscles like nobody\u2019s business and lift massive weight; others are so flexible as to be a rubber band; etc.). And, we need to pay attention to the results of eating that food.\nSo, if you get all bloating and gassy when you drink milk, you might have a problem digesting it. The point is to pay attention to what you eat and what happens over the next 24 hours or so.\nAnd that\u2019s what is great about your story regarding sugar. You paid attention, watched what happened to you and your son, made a hypothesis, and experimented. Now, you just gotta imagine yourself drinking coffee without sugar and then do it! As with all programs to rid yourself of a drug it sure does seem to take a while to ween yourself off of it and get to 0 usage. Good luck!\nPosted by Dave on December 21, 2010 at 9:11 am | permalink |\nI actually went back to school at the age of 38 to study this very thing \u2013 first to finish a bachelor\u2019s, then to get a master\u2019s in public health. i know you\u2019re not big on degrees, but it was very useful, very helpful. even though your use of DBT is very personal (what\u2019s called the level of the individual) one of the things i discovered and then began to focus on were the levels outside of individual control \u2013 ie who and what\u2019s around us. i wrote a paper called \u201cRefined Carbohydrates as Environmental Toxins\u201d based out of that research. http://datinggod.typepad.com/katherineturner/2007/03/refined_carbohy.html\nto crave the thing you\u2019re allergic or sensitive to is called the allergy-addiction response. and what you\u2019re craving is bread and sugar (refined carbohydrates) which the food supply is filled with. it\u2019s a long and complicated issue \u2013 and it isn\u2019t just at the level of personal which is a main reason you\u2019re having so much trouble with it. hope the paper helps add to your wisdom around it all . . .\nPosted by kate on December 21, 2010 at 9:34 am | permalink |\nI\u2019ve been on a what\u2019s-the-deal-with-eating quest recently and come to similar conclusions from different sources. I like what Dave says above about everyone\u2019s food tolerances being different \u2013 makes sense.\nA couple of books about \u201cIntuitive Eating\u201d echo what you said about watching your patterns and sitting with your feelings when you walk into the kitchen. It\u2019s really hard to do.\nAnother intuitive eating book is really big on cognitive behavioral therapy, which seems to have some tactics in common with DBT. (Rules of Normal Eating, Koenig)\nIt had this image which stuck with me. Every time you do something over and over, it\u2019s like you\u2019ve got a little marble at the top of a sand hill, and you push it one way. Naturally, the next time the marble is back on the top of the hill, when pushed, it will run along the same track in the sand, until the track gets deeper and deeper. Changing the track in the sand is really hard. Pushing the marble the other way, there\u2019s much more resistance in the sand than that first, easy & deeper track. And when you go back to that old behavior, it\u2019s so easy & familiar.\nI like to visualize that when I\u2019m trying to change habits. 1) It\u2019s hard and 2) I just try to remind myself that I\u2019m creating a new track, and hopefully the old one will fade away.\nPosted by Erika on December 21, 2010 at 9:38 am | permalink |\nthanks for that great analogy!\nPosted by dana on December 21, 2010 at 11:27 am | permalink |\nNot to belittle all of the suggestions that have been given, but I highly doubt the level of craving that Penelope is talking about is simple a matter of will power or finding the right supplement.\nThere is research that out there that has examined the serotonergic system is adults with Asperger\u2019s that has found a significant reduction in available serotonin. Low levels of serotonin, as well as other neurotransmitters, can create incredible cravings that no amount of self discipline can control.\nThere are some pretty simple organic acid tests that can measure metabolic byproducts of neurotransmittors and give you a good idea if you have a problem with the big three (dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine).\nPosted by Christine Kiparissis on December 21, 2010 at 9:39 am | permalink |\nCheering for you!

Go Penelope.\nPosted by Lisa on December 21, 2010 at 9:48 am | permalink |\nI grew up with a mother who always said (and sometimes still reminds me) that sugar is poison. Once, I met Dr. Bernstein and he told me that my mother was right and he said that sugar is the worst possible thing for you.\nBut I think eliminating it completely is nuts, personally.\nI think once in a while you have to have something sweet.

Any anxiety and sensory overload I experience (and my daughter for that matter) I can usually attribute to sugar. Then I took the sugar away. Better, but not all better. AHA! It was gluten. We\u2019re different people w/out that stuff. That having been said\u2026..do I stay off sugar and gluten? Better than I used to, but as I type\u2026pass the chocolate chip cookies, please. Whoever said \u201ceasier said than done\u201d was brilliant. Then the shame spiral hits\u2026and I think maybe I just don\u2019t have self control? Hailing from the Mid-West, as you\u2019ve touched on in previous posts, self control and not being lazy are huge guilt inducers. Guilt is not a motivator for me. I rebel. And eat more sugar. Sigh.

I switched from sugar to stevia quite easily. It\u2019s an acquired taste, but since it\u2019s natural and unlike other natural sugar alternatives, doesn\u2019t effect your blood sugar, it\u2019s a great choice. You can cook with it too.

And in fact I still haven\u2019t read it because I wanted to comment :)\nOne thing I know about will power and wanting to change is that you can\u2019t rely on just self discipline because you will fail. We aren\u2019t good at self discipline but it sounds like you are working on creating new behaviors (or conversations on feelings) and that might be easier than just stopping old behaviors. Best of luck. I am in favor of more yoga and blog posts.\nWhen I make a big list of changes for myself, that nervousness starts to set in\u2026about failure, meeting my expectations, meeting the expectations of others, about everything.\nBut I\u2019ve started asking myself the question, \u201cWhat\u2019s the worst that could happen if I try it for just 2 weeks?\u201d If in two weeks I don\u2019t notice a difference or the costs outweigh the benefits, I can quit. Just giving myself those two weeks allows me to see that the changes I want to make aren\u2019t horrible rules imposed by some uncaring outside force \u2013 but a new game that I could really like if I give it a try.\nPosted by MissMetroDC on December 21, 2010 at 11:00 am | permalink |\nHi Penelope. I\u2019ve been through DBT too and it helped me more successfully navigate my inner swirl of feelings. It has helped me to better accept life as it is, rather than as I\u2019d have it.\nTell me more about how you\u2019re practicing DBT. Are you learning it in a group setting or are you doing it on your own out of a book?\nOne of the things DBT helped me with was tolerating the gray areas. What would happen if DBT doesn\u2019t help you at all with the more/less list you wrote but makes you feel more at peace about that?\nOf course I am not doing DBT the conventional way. That would be too much to ask, right? The closest DBT therapist to where I live (Southwestern Wisconsin) is in the north Suburbs of Chicago. Too far to drive. So I do it on the phone with her. There is no group.\nAnd, she is probably totally annoyed with me about this, but I haven\u2019t bought the books. Yet. I will. I read a ton about DBT online, though.\nYou know how the first step to solving a problem is to admit that you are not special? Well, I have not overcome that hurdle because I think that after being in therapy for 35 years (since I was five) I have a good foundation and I can just be coached through DBT verbally.\nI\u2019m sure I\u2019m delusional and I\u2019m not doing totally DBT, but hopefully I\u2019ll be a success story for it anyway :)\nRe not doing DBT the conventional way \u2014 Who cares? Get it however you need to get it. Take what works and leave the rest.\nPosted by jim on December 21, 2010 at 8:45 pm | permalink |\nFirst, love your writing. Just love it. But second, give truvia or some other stevia based product a try. Its a natural sweet herb that is actually sweeter than sugar but without the harmful effects. I use it in my coffee, on my cereal and I love it.\nI\u2019m not pimping any particular brand and most can now be bought in the sugar aisle in any chain grocery store.

A quote I picked up recently and keeps me going is:\n\u201cThinking is easy, acting is difficult, and to put one\u2019s thoughts into action is the most difficult thing in the world.\u201d (Goethe)\nPosted by Patrick on December 21, 2010 at 11:38 am | permalink |\nto echo some fine responses above, there\u2019s no question that gluten and sugar elimination is key to feeling so much better. what i don\u2019t understand is that if you\u2019ve identified the bread as detrimental to you and your son, why is it still in the house at all? eliminating gluten is not a fad\u2013it\u2019s proven to be extremely beneficial to a lot of people, and if you\u2019re dedicated to taking good care of your family, you\u2019ll ask all members of that family to adhere to the practice. it also makes making change easier when everyone understands why it\u2019s necessary and goes along.\ngoing gluten free needs definition for a lot of people. it\u2019s not just elimination of refined/white flour\u2013it\u2019s about shedding ALL wheat (bulgur, bran, einkorn, kamut spelt are wheat derivations), rye, oats (at least those produced in facilities that process other glutenous grains; there are gluten-free oats), and barley. in spite of what the prospect sounds like, there are many substitutes\u2013americans live in the land of plenty, and if they choose, can find alternatives they love.\nhaving had autism spectrum (including aspergers) members in our family, this was one of the first steps recommended in getting a good baseline health state. i\u2019ve also witnessed it change the behavior of children diagnosed ADHD. moreover, some medical professionals recommend curbing ALL grains for optimal health for this cohort (check out what doctors mercola and null say on the subject).\namericans are confused about what constitutes a good grain and what does not. it doesn\u2019t help that food labeling is, basically, lying to them. \u201cwhole grain\u201d cheerios? hardly. if they were truly \u201cwhole grain\u201d, they\u2019d be inedible. as per the excellent suggestion above, watch \u201csupersize me\u201d and \u201cfood inc.\u201d, which both reveal the lies americans want to believe, because change is hard. it is, but what\u2019s the alternative? making oneself a willing guinea pig for pharma? not exactly the path to health.\nbottom line, making this kind of change takes mindfulness, always being present to making good choices. some people think that making this change is far too much, and they look for some kind of 12-step program to \u201cease\u201d out. when i decided to take control, i simply made the choice to do so. I dumped the offending flours and products from our pantry, and my husband joined me in making the change. doing it in one day is pretty powerful, and eventually, we watched our consumption of even the \u201cacceptable\u201d carbs/grains plummet. as others have put, eating wheat and sugar has a self-perpetuating quality.\nDBT seems to tap into that idea of mindfulness\u2013knowing how one feels when engaging in a behavior they want to eliminate is just that. is it difficult? maybe. but there is an amazing feeling associated with triumphing over those changes that scare or intimidate us, right?\ni wish everyone who takes these courageous steps the strength it takes to persevere! peace.\nPosted by thatgirlinnewyork on December 21, 2010 at 11:42 am | permalink |\nAha.

Consider the scene at a Christmas party last Saturday night, when the only food was dessert: I ate one cookie, decided to sample a piece of fudge, and then I was off. I could not stop. Interestingly, I wasn\u2019t the only one doing this, there were quite a number of us going crazy for the sweets. And what I find, three days later, is that the sugar addiction is still activated, making me want more. Geesh. So maybe I\u2019ll try the DBT.

It\u2019s not an un-tasty diet, but it precludes a lot of delicious foods, virtually all convenience foods, and of course, my particular comfort foods (bread and potatoes).\nGetting *back* on was much harder than getting on, though. When I started, I had a huge incentive: stopping the bleeding/inflammation, keeping my intestines, getting off immunosuppressants. Once you\u2019re feeling pretty good most of the time\u2026well, you know the drill.\nAnyway, the reason I\u2019m blathering on here is that finally, after several unsuccessful attempts to white-knuckle it, I got hypnotized. Bam. Done. As in, I walked away from the session with the cravings gone, listened to my recording for two weeks, and have not had a problem since. I watch people eat pasta, eat bread, eat French fries, and the experience is more of a wistful memory of \u201cOh, yeah, I used to really like that, didn\u2019t I?\u201d If I hadn\u2019t gone through the experience myself, I wouldn\u2019t believe it.\nWhen IBD patients go on SCD, usually the whole household goes that way, which helps to remove temptation.

You\u2019re awesome and inspiring!!\nPosted by Colleen Wainwright on December 21, 2010 at 11:55 am | permalink |\nHere\u2019s something you might find interesting Penelope. My wife and I have spent a great deal of time figuring out the whole bread/gluten/sugar thing because she has an especially heinous version of what you\u2019re talking about. We wrote a book about it, and then we started a company from the book. It\u2019s something we know a lot about.\nWhat\u2019s basically happening is that you crave carbs. There are lots of potential reasons, but the bottom line is that your brain doesn\u2019t have the glucose it wants, so it says \u201cGIVE ME CARBS NOW,\u201d and you say \u201cSure, here\u2019s 10 slices of wonderbread.\u201d And you feel phenomenal because you\u2019re delivered the mother load of carbs straight your little reptile brain.\nSo when you say \u201cNo, wonderbread is bad for me\u201d instead, your brain gets clever and insists that you replace all those delicious carbs with sugar. Sugar is crystalized carbs. It\u2019s like wonderbread in powder form. It\u2019s all about the carb craving.\nYour will power is a finite resource. There\u2019s a certain chemical your brain needs to maintain the willpower it needs to not snarf a loaf of wonderbread. When it gets low on that chemical, you absolutely can\u2019t stop yourself from eating that bread and downing 4 cups of sugar a day.\nThe chemical is glucose. It\u2019s blood sugar. It\u2019s the stuff your body was craving in the first place, that made you want all those carbs.\nSo the issue you\u2019re having is that your brain is craving the stuff you shouldn\u2019t eat precisely at the moment when you have no will power to resist that stuff.\nSo you have my permission not to beat yourself up about it.\nThere is a physical reason you burn through your glucose too fast, and you should figure out what it is with your doctor. Your doctor probably won\u2019t be interested in figuring it out though, my wife went through a dozen before one took the time to figure it out and helped her get well again.\nIn the mean time there are some safe recommendations I can make regardless of what the underlying cause of the issue is. First, eat more protein. For example, when you crave bread, allow yourself to eat that bread, but only if it\u2019s smothered in peanut butter, a good source of protein.\nWhen you eat meals make sure the ratio of carbs to protein is at least 2 to 1\u20132 servings of carbs for 1 serving of protein. More protein than that is fine, but more carbs is not fine.\nI\u2019m going to go out on a limb and guess you have trouble sleeping also. You wake up around 2 or 3 in the morning sometimes, feeling agitated. You may have fairly frequent nightmares. That\u2019s all blood sugar related. Right before bed, have a high protein snack.\nThe thing about protein is that the energy you get from it burns more slowly. It\u2019s like taking a slow release medication. Carbs burn up in a heartbeat and leave you craving more. Protein will burn over a longer course of time. That will stop the up-down-up-down yoyoing of your blood sugar and curb the carb cravings.\nI have way more information about this if you\u2019re interested, so just let me know and we\u2019ll talk.\nPosted by Pete Michaud on December 21, 2010 at 12:08 pm | permalink |\nPenelope, I\u2019m going to try this right along with you.

        "title": "Demonetization......A disaster forced on India \u00bb Lets Blog",
        "raw_content": "It was a fateful night of 8th November, 2016 when our honorable PM announced with a big fanfare his decision to demonetize the existing currency of Rs. 500/- and Rs. 1000/- notes. The citizens of the largest democracy in the world were given this ultimatum that their currency has been rendered as virtually useless after the stroke of midnight, save a few services where this currency can be used temporarily.\nI remember that evening when this decision was announced. My wife and I were enjoying a nice evening drink with my brother in law at Swagath Lounge & Bar in Sector 26, Chandigarh. All of a sudden, I saw the waiters flipping over the music channels on LCD screens to some news channel where this grand announcement was being made. At first I could not believe my ears and thought that it was a horrible prank being played upon us. However, we carried on enjoying the drinks for the rest of the evening, oblivious to the disaster unfolding in front of us. When we left the restaurant we saw a beeline of cars outside the petrol pumps and in my drunken stupor reality dawned on me that people were really trying to offload their bigger notes.\nSo before I continue with this article, let me explain the meaning of demonetization. Demonetization is the act of stripping a currency unit of its status as legal tender. It occurs whenever there is a change of national currency: The current form or forms of money is pulled from circulation and retired, often to be replaced with new notes or coins. Sometimes, a country replaces the old currency entirely with a new one.\nNow the idea begets a question as to what was the need to demonetize the existing 500 & 1000 rupee notes. They cannot even be classified as larger currencies since an evening out for a couple in a movie hall will cost them around 1000 bucks. So did it really make sense to replace common currency in a country with the world\u2019s second largest population, having a poor digital outreach and infrastructure? Apparently it did to our honorable PM and the RBI Governor who gave it a thumb up only to disappear from the news channels for quite a few weeks thereafter.\nSo why did the government demonetize the existing currency? Here are some of the reasons that they have stated and continue to do so:\n1.) The first and the foremost reason that was stated was that it would reduce the huge pile-up of black money into a pulp of waste paper.\n2.) The second reason was to destroy the circulation of counterfeit currency which according to this government is huge in number and is funding terrorist activities.\n3.) The third reason was to encourage people to start cashless transactions and hence make a push towards the idea of a \u201cDigital India\u201d.\n4.) Demonetization will go a long way in curbing corruption in India.\nIf one looks at this whole episode of demonetization holistically, one can understand as to how the politicians influence the minds of the gullible voters.\nThe government claims that 4 lakh crore rupees out of 14 lakh crore rupees floating money in the Indian economy is Black Money. There is no basis to this figure presented by the Government or the RBI. This is the figure that has been given to the courts who are questioning the Government on demonetization.\nNow let\u2019s talk about fake currency. How much fake currency was circulating in the market? It was hardly around 60 crore which amounts to 0.001% of our economy. So to counteract this fake currency, did we really need to disturb a 14 lakh crore economy? This problem would have taken care of itself if all the banks (including the cooperative banks) were provided with proper currency counting and scanning machines.\nThe Government soon realized that demonetization was fast becoming a disaster in progress. To control the damage, they created a new narrative of introducing India to a cashless economy.\nWhat a joke!!!\nAs per the 2011 Census, 30% of the population over 15 years of age is illiterate. When we include people with primary or lower level education, the percentage increases to 55%. It means that more than half of the Indian adult population is not educated enough to shift to digital mode of payments. The situation was not very different in 2016. According to InterMedia\u2019s Financial Inclusion Insights (2015), only 14% of the population (15 years and above) had high digital literacy and another 26% had moderate digital literacy.\nForget about the illiterate and semi-literate class, even literate folks struggle with the idea of digital payments. My parents who are both educated, are not comfortable with the concept of net banking. Till date do not use a credit card. These estimates suggest that 60% of the Indian population is not prepared for shift to a cashless digital economy.\nAnother idea defending demonetization was curbing corruption. Corruption is an all pervasive evil which is present in the system itself. Every Tax payer knows where the paid money percolates in the corrupt government system. That is why they shy away from paying the entire tax since the citizen is not getting the intended benefits from the government such as social security, guaranteed employment and better healthcare. Citing corruption and demonetizing the currency is not a way to eradicate corruption. Corruption can be contained overnight if only the government chooses to do so. This can happen by targeting non-taxpayers, alter the existing laws, draft stringent rules for defaulters and most of all make taxation simple so that no one defaults.\nSo what have we achieved overall after demonetization? Zilch\u2026\u2026\u2026\nSix months down the line, following are the after effects of demonetization.\nThe purpose of demonetization was to reduce black money, corruption and fake currency. But apart from reducing fake currency for a while, it completely failed to achieve the other two objectives. It is said 97% of money in circulation came back to the bank (against a target of only 80 to 85%) and corruption didn\u2019t reduce rather it increased in the banking system. Even after filing repeated RTI petitions, RBI refuses to reveal how much cash has come back into the system.\nThe government\u2019s push for Digital India too is rendered useless as cash flows are back to normal.\nThe government promised that more money in the banking system will help banks provide cheaperloans. However, there is no reduction in loan rates. Instead banks have started levying extra charges on transactions and interest on saving account reduced.\nDemonetization was supposed to have broken the backbone of naxalites and terrorists but the situation is even worse now.\nThe recent GDP data shows that GDP growth rate has gone down from an expected rate of 7.6% to 7.1% . GDP growth rate of 4th quarter is now 6.1% from 7.9% of last year.\nDemonetization destroyed many small scale industries and unorganized sectors, causing mass loss of jobs.\nAbout 198 people of this country have committed suicide due to demonetization.\nI will sum up the end of this long article by saying this. Demonetization was not really a great idea to begin with. However it caused great disaster due to poor planning and implementation. The only beneficiary of this move has been the BJP which was able to trounce its rivals in the elections in U.P. This government should thank the people of India for displaying great patience and not showing any outrage against the inconvenience caused to them. I see another disaster in making in the form of GST which will be implemented now. Let us see whether the people of this country are patient enough to extend their benevolence towards a Government which is clearly out of its depth with what this economy needs.\nUnemployment in India \u2026\u2026The devil is in the detail \u2192\nAwesome article..an eye opener!!\nSuperb article..!! A cashless society requires advance infrastructure. Even a superpower like USA is 45% cashless. India was not prepared for it. Unnecessary harassment.\nGreat work. Waiting for more to come\nSheena Aneja\nTruly this article brings out the transparency of our system..\nDr Jyotiraditya\nYes, It was a disaster \u2026 Everyone was discomforted with this unplanned move by \u201cSupposedly\u201d a dictator Government of India. It was the real surgical strike but on people of India. Another unplanned move of this Govt is GST. No doubt It is good for our economy by again the implementation and execution is extremely poor. Moreover, we all are regarded as CHOR by the government. There is nothing like social security to us. but taxes are being levied on us to give freebies to the lower income groups as a bribe so that they keep voting for the BJP govt. We are the people who pay taxes and we are being mentally harassed. The Sad state of India\u2026continues\u2026",

        "raw_content": "6 February 2017 By Deborah Terry\nCurtin proudly supports AFL Women\u2019s League Fremantle Dockers game\nI am very pleased to advise that as part of Curtin\u2019s proud foundation partnership with the AFL Women\u2019s League (AFLW) Fremantle Dockers team, we will be supporting the team\u2019s Round 4 NAB AFLW game against the Adelaide Crows on Sunday 26 February at Fremantle Oval.\nAlthough there were discussions about Curtin hosting the game at our Bentley campus, a decision has been made to move the game to the Fremantle Oval.\nWe are thrilled that five current and former Curtin students, Hayley Miller (Physiotherapy), Belinda Smith (Physiotherapy), Brianna Green (Health Science), Stephanie Cain (Construction Management), and alumna Dana Hooker (Occupational Therapy) are part of the inaugural squad. In addition Tarryn Dickerson, Curtin\u2019s Elite Athletes Coordinator, has taken on a part-time role as the team\u2019s Welfare Officer, providing exceptional support to the players who juggle their sporting commitments, work and study.\nThe development of the women\u2019s league is a defining moment for Australian football and sends a powerful message that elite performance, both on and off the sporting field, is not restricted by gender, in the same way as it should not be restricted by race, background or religion.\nCurtin\u2019s partnership with the AFLW Fremantle Dockers team aligns with our commitment to create valuable work placement opportunities for our students across a broad range of study areas including multimedia, public relations, physiotherapy, dietetics and business, at the same time as opening up new research opportunities.\nThe game is free to attend and I encourage staff to head down and show their support. Event details can be found on Facebook. Place activation activities will be there on the day so bring your friends and families down to enjoy the game and support some of Curtin\u2019s elite athletes.\n26th Annual Teaching and Learning Forum\nCurtin was proud to host the 26th Annual Teaching and Learning Forum at our Bentley campus on 2 and 3 February. Approximately 260 educators from 13 Australian institutions gathered to share knowledge and expertise in learning and teaching in higher education, around the theme of: Multiple Dimensions in Teaching and Learning. Engaging keynote speakers, Professor Adam Bridgeman of the University of Sydney and Curtin\u2019s Professor Teri Balser of the Faculty of Science and Engineering, provided insights into their innovative teaching.\nAs Curtin strengthens its position as a global educator, innovations such as distributed learning are being used to offer a quality learning experience not only to students attending a physical campus but also those studying online as distance learners. For the first time, using a range of technologies, the Forum facilitated a borderless conference experience between different sites at Curtin and our Miri Campus, to showcase this distributed learning model.\nCongratulations to the Curtin Learning and Teaching team on a highly successful event.\nCurtin has been ranked 179 globally and 9 in Australia in the 2017 edition of the Ranking Web of Repositories. The ranking assesses institutions according to \u201cthe free access to scientific publications in an electronic form and to other academic material\u201d. More than 2200 institutions are listed in the ranking.\nShenton Park campus handover\nAt the end of March, Curtin will hand back our Health Research Campus at Shenton Park to LandCorp. This will allow the site to be redeveloped into a residential precinct.\nCurtin\u2019s involvement with the Shenton Park site began in 1969 when the Department of Therapies opened at WAIT. A new building for the Department opened at Shenton Park in 1972, housing physiotherapy and occupational therapy. These areas transferred to Bentley in 2000 and 2002, respectively, allowing education and research in both physiotherapy and occupational therapy to grow significantly as a consequence of access to state-of-the-art amenities and equipment.\nThe Shenton Park site then became focused on health research. Over the past few years, its research centres and groups have gradually moved to Technology Park and Bentley. This has helped strengthen their links and collaborations with other parts of the Faculty and the broader University.\nI warmly welcome all staff who have recently moved from the Shenton Park campus.\nCurtin to feature on Our Town WA\nI am pleased to advise that Curtin University will feature on the Channel 7 TV program Our Town WA. The segment, featuring the Town of Victoria Park, notes that the vibrant local presence of our Bentley Campus adds significantly to the liveability of the Town.\nThe segment will acknowledge Curtin\u2019s close connections to industry and the local community, and will highlight the next exciting phase of Greater Curtin which will transform our facilities and bring a range of social, economic and lifestyle benefits to Bentley and the surrounding community. I encourage staff to tune into Our Town WA on Sunday 12 February from 5.00pm to 5.30pm.\nPearson Student of the Year Awards\nCongratulations to Bachelor of Commerce student Mitchell Liebeck, who has won the 2016 Pearson Student of the Year Award in the category of Accounting, Economics and Finance.

        "raw_content": "\u00ab To Understand Fossils, These Paleontologists Are Making Faux-ssils What Would You Do With a Third, Mind-Controlled, Robotic Limb? \u00bb\nBy Eric Betz | July 25, 2018 10:00 am\nAstronomers have discovered a large underground lake of liquid water lurking just below the surface of Mars. The find could end a more than century-long debate over whether or not the Red Planet still has liquid water.\nThe newfound lake stretches some 12 miles from end-to-end, and was discovered using a radar instrument called MARSIS on board the European Space Agency\u2019s Mars Express spacecraft, which first reached Mars nearly 15 years ago. The results were published Wednesday in the journal Science.\n\u201cThis is just one small study area,\u201d says study author Roberto Orosei, who\u2019s also principal investigator of the MARSIS experiment. \u201cIt is an exciting prospect to think there could be more of these underground pockets of water elsewhere, yet to be discovered.\u201d\nScientists found the lake by launching radar pulses from the orbiter to penetrate the surface and reflect back, revealing secrets from just below the surface. It was discovered as they surveyed the Planum Australe region near Mars\u2019 southern ice cap, which is made of water ice covered by frozen carbon dioxide.\nBetween 2012 and 2015, the team obtained 29 radar samples and used them to map the subsurface nearly one mile deep in the area and about a dozen miles wide.\nThe European Space Agency\u2019s Mars Express spacecraft used radar to detect a lake of liquid water on the Red Planet. (Credit: ESA)\n\u201cWe\u2019d seen hints of interesting subsurface features for years, but we couldn\u2019t reproduce the result from orbit to orbit,\u201d says study co-author Andrea Cicchetti, who\u2019s also on the MARSIS team. She says data resolution in the past was just too low. But the team found a new way to operate the instrument that avoids processing data on the aging spacecraft and instead sends observations to Earth, allowing a higher sampling rate.\nThe discovery is especially intriguing because underground lakes like this are also found near Earth\u2019s poles, particularly in Greenland and Antarctica. And in recent years, scientists actually drilled deep beneath the Antarctic ice into one of these, the subglacial Lake Whillans, which had been cut off from the surface for millions of years. They found bacteria still living there in complete isolation.\nScientists have also traveled deep underground into mines and found microorganisms related to ancient species that once lived in watery environments much closer to the surface. Such migrations raise the possibility of the same thing happening on Mars \u2014 as the water retreated, life moved deeper underground.\nHowever, while the find is tantalizing for astrobiologists eager to find alien life, it\u2019s also a bit of a tease. It will be decades before astronauts can visit the surface of Mars, and likely much longer before we can drill a mile beneath the dusty surface. So we may not see any Martian fishing expeditions in our lifetime.\nCATEGORIZED UNDER: Space & Physics, top posts, Uncategorized",

        "raw_content": "SAN JOSE \u2013 Teams cannot start their NHL training camps before a certain point, which is coaches won\u2019t be putting rookies through their paces at Sharks Ice until Friday with veterans joining them a week later.\nBut, as usual, players have been gathering at the practice rink for almost a month now \u2014 a few at first, more as the days went on \u2014 for what traditionally have been known as Captain\u2019s Skates.\nWait a minute. The Sharks took the \u2018C\u2019 off Joe Thornton\u2019s jersey back on Aug. 20. So how does that work?\nTurns out, same as it always does.\nWhen the expected was made official, six Captain\u2019s Skates were already in the history books and the complete schedule set for the summer. But even if it hadn\u2019t been, the whole process isn\u2019t as focused on a captain as it sounds, say those familiar with the way things work.\nDuring the off-season, veteran players who stick around San Jose meet collectively with Sharks Ice management and set up the schedule.\nAnd there\u2019s never been any requirement that the captain \u2013 in this case Thornton, though it also applies to those before him \u2013 must show up every day. As things have played out, Thornton has been there for some practices, stayed away others. Same as in the past.\nCount on things being different in training camp this year, what with the \u201cclean slate, no equity\u201d approach spelled out by Doug Wilson and Todd McLellan. But for now, it pretty much has been business as usual even if there\u2019s no designated captain for the Captain\u2019s Skates.\nAnd we\u2019ve got plenty of time for a more serious look at what comes next.\n****Obviously, leadership positions are to be determined in training camp as well as future ice time. So I\u2019m thinking there\u2019s extra value right now in paying attention to what players do off the ice as well as on it, things that in the past may have gotten overlooked in the shuffle.\nLike Patrick Marleau\u2019s visit to the UCSF Children\u2019s Hospital in San Francisco on Aug. 29. Or the announcement today that Logan Couture has organized a fund-raiser to help raise money in the search for Sierra LaMar, the Morgan Hill teen-ager who authorities believe was abducted from her home in March 2012.\nCouture and five other players \u2013 Tomas Hertl, Alex Stalock, Jason Demers, Jason Sheppard and Andrew Desjardins \u2013 will be signing autographs from 7 to 8:30 p.m. next Wednesday, Sept. 17, at Britton Middle School in Morgan Hill. A $20 donation to the cause gets you an autograph from each player and the details can be found here .\n\u201cWe are all proud residents of the Bay Area and we want to send a message to Sierra\u2019s family, her friends and the entire community that we have not forgotten about her and we are not giving up hope,\u201d said Couture in a prepared statement released by the team.\n****About 5,000 of the free tickets to San Jose\u2019s inaugural Fan Fest were gobbled up within hours of last week\u2019s announcement of the Sept. 27 event and Sharks chief operating officer John Tortora says that figure has now climbed to about 13,000.\n\u201cTo prevent overcrowding,\u201d he added late today, \u201cwe are planning to cap the requests at around 15,000.\u201d\nYes, the price is right, but that\u2019s also a pretty good sign that the fan base hasn\u2019t turned its back on the team just yet.\nThe Saturday event starts with a seat at SAP Center for the Sharks morning skate on the day of their pre-season game that night against the Anaheim Ducks. After that, there\u2019s everything from roundtable discussions with the redefined broadcast teams to a chance to have a photo taken with the lowered Sharks head that the team skates through before every game.\nOther teams have held similar events for years, and this was on Tortora\u2019s to-do list as the team looks for ways to engage fans on different levels.\n*********Back on Aug. 20 the Sharks also announced that a second surgery would be required to repair the ACL damage in Raffi Torres\u2019s right knee after an infection set in and the original repair job had to be undone. That surgery still has not taken place and no date has been disclosed for the procedure.\nHard to see that as anything but a delay in Torres\u2019s eventual return.",

In her previous life, she was Amba, the daughter of the king of Kashi and was in love with the prince Shalva. Before she could choose him to be her husband, Bhishma abducted her and her two sisters from their swayamvara for the prince Vichitravirya. When she told Bhishma of her love for Shalva, he set her free. As she had been abducted once, Shalva refused to marry her. She went to Bhishma and told him that as he had abducted her, it was now his duty to marry her. Bhishma stuck by his pratigya and refused to marry her. Amba then vowed to be the cause of his death. She did tapa of Lord Shiva who granted her the boon that in her next life she would be born a girl to become a man later \u2013 the one who would be the cause of Bhishma\u2019s death. Upon receiving the boon, Amba did not wait to live out her life; she immediately jumped into the fire and killed herself.\nHence, Shikhandin was born a girl. A heavenly voice told Dhrupad that she would become a man one day and hence, was brought up a boy. She was married to King Hiranyavarma\u2019s daughter as a man, but the daughter came to know of the deceit and left Shikhandin. Shikhandin then went into the forest where she met Sthunakarna, a \u2018yaksha\u2019 or demigod. He heard her story and agreed to exchange his manhood with Shikhandin for some time. The Lord Kubera was Sthunakarna\u2019s master and when he heard what had happened, he cursed Sthunakarna that he would only be able to get his manhood back after Shikhandin\u2019s death.\nThe Pandavas, led by Yudhisthira, on the ninth day of the Mahabharata war, go to Bhishma and ask him how they could kill him. Bhishma knew the time had come to repay Amba\u2019s debt and he told them that if a woman came in front of him on the battlefield, he would put down his weapons. Krishna knew that Shikhandin had been born a woman and so asked Arjuna to put Shikhandin in his chariot and fire arrows at Bhishma. On seeing Shikhandin, Bhishma put down his weapons and Arjuna\u2019s arrows felled Bhishma.",

Ensure the dentist is certified for pediatric work. You wish to also ensure the dentist is accredited by the condition which you\u2019re living in. There are cases where dentists can perform pediatric perform but haven\u2019t finished a course in pediatric dentistry.\nThe next thing that you should look for would be to determine whether the dentist has expertise with children and may communicate with them efficiently. Children are going to want the encouragement to go through using a process since most children are terrified of the dentist\u2019s office. Your dentist should be quite accommodating to your kid and be certain the child\u2019s needs are satisfied.\nEventually, they wish to check the waters. The only way to find out whether the pediatric dentist is best for you would be to opt for a couple appointments. Watch how your child responds and search for a different dentist if you believe it isn\u2019t best for you. It\u2019s possible to find the very first therapy but appear elsewhere after everything is completed.\nPosted in Business and Management, Health and Fitness, Machine and Tools, Marketing and Advertising",

To build this framework, the project will identify relevant open standards, technologies, and information models that are currently in use or in development in the various sectors. It analyzes potential issues caused by gaps and overlaps across standards developed by the various standardization organizations and provides guidelines on how to effectively solve those issues. Particular emphasis will be put on common denominators in order to eventually allow horizontal interoperability between the various sectors of a smart city. Though horizontal interoperability is out of scope for this project, emphasizing the integration reference models as a key common denominator (e.g. in the form of multi-dimensional city models) already defines essential parts of the foundation for future levels of interoperability.\nhttp://espresso-project.eu/",

If it passes and is signed into law:\n\u2022You will have to carry a photo ID firearms license.\n\u2022A training class is required to be licensed.\n\u2022Disclosure of your storage method is required for license.\n\u2022A thumb print is required for license.\n\u2022Every sale recorded by the federal government.\n\u2022If you move, and don't tell the Attorney General within 60 days, you are a criminal.\n\u2022If a firearm is stolen and you don't report it, you are a criminal.\nThere will be no grandfathered firearms. If you do not obtain a license and report every firearm you currently own, you are a criminal. There will be a license fee and a fee for the \"services\" provided at purchase time. Licenses must be renewed every five years.\nTHE AGENDA \u2022 URBAN POLICY - Crime and Law Enforcement\nStudy Finds Gun control doesn't reduce crime or violence.\nThis report noted that many schools have programs intended to prevent gun violence. However, it added, some studies suggest that children's curiosity and teenagers' attraction to risk make them resistant to the programs or that the projects actually increase the appeal of guns.\nThis study noted the number of criminals who obtained guns from retail outlets was dwarfed by the number of those who picked up their arms through means other than legal purchases. The report was the result of interviews with more than 18,000 state and federal inmates conducted nationwide. It found that nearly 80 percent of those interviewed got their guns from friends or family members, or on the street through illegal purchases.\nLess than 9 percent were bought at retail outlets and only seven-tenths of 1 percent came from gun shows.\nThe Justice Department's interviews also showed so-called \"assault weapons\" are not a major cause of gun violence. Only about 8 percent of the inmates used one of the models covered in the now-expired assault weapons ban, signed into law by the Clinton administration in 1994.\nSaw this coming. I live in NY which is already more Nazi gun control then many other states, but wow crazy.\nLiberals were going to win the Presidency no matter what this year so they have an excuse for severe gun control.

        "raw_content": "Luanne Hildebrandt Keeps Iconic Augusta Food Store Going\nNovember 3, 2014| Gary Kauffman\nBusinessperson of the Month\nWhen Nicholas Hildebrandt opened a grocery store on Sixth Street, Augusta and the rest of the South were still recovering from the Civil War, Reconstruction and carpetbaggers.\nThat was in 1879 and now, 135 years later, Hildebrandt\u2019s has become an iconic fixture of Augusta, the second-oldest downtown business (only Platt\u2019s Funeral Home is older). The store doesn\u2019t sell as many groceries as it once did, but a lot more specialty sandwiches, most notably those of German origin.\nNicholas Hildebrandt sold his grocery store to his German-immigrant nephew, also named Nicholas, in 1902. The business passed to his wife, Edna, and then his son, Louis. Today, Louis\u2019 daughter and the original Nicholas\u2019 great-great niece, Luanne, runs the business.\nFor most of its existence, Hildebrandt\u2019s sold groceries. A lack of time led to the business becoming a sandwich shop.\nLacking time to go home to eat, Louis often made himself a sandwich from his stock of deli meats. The sandwiches looked so appetizing to customers that they began ordering them. About 25 years ago the business became primarily a lunch counter.\nGerman meats, shipped from Milwaukee, are a staple and the King Louis \u2013 a four-meat, two-cheese sandwich \u2013 is one of the favorites. German potato salad is another staple.\nThe business still offers odds and ends of grocery items, an array of antiques and plenty of eclectic seating. Portraits of Hildebrandt family members, some going back more than a century, line one wall.\nIt has become an iconic Augusta fixture that the locals point visitors to when asked for a local place to eat.\nLuanne has been an integral part of the business for the past 40 year, although it wasn\u2019t her first choice for a career.\nAs the oldest daughter, she wanted to get away and attended colleges in Minnesota and Illinois, and then taught parochial school in Connecticut. She eventually returned to Augusta as an elementary education teacher. In 1972-73 she went to school in Oregon.\nWhile she was on the West Coast, a friend told her that her parents, who were running the store by themselves, needed some help. She returned to \u201cstraighten things out\u201d until her brother could take over the store. But he was seriously injured in a motorcycle accident in 1979, and she continued her role in the family business.\nWhen her father died in 1993, Luanne knew it was up to her to continue the family business.\nWhat are you passionate about in your business?\nGiving everybody a good experience, doing their sandwich right, the way they want it.\nAre there any special pressures or benefits from being in a business with a long family tradition?\nKnowing that the family has been involved in the business as long as it has makes me want to keep it going. The business has been tough the past couple of years, but now that there is some family involved there\u2019s a fresh outlook.\nFor years we were the only Hildebrandts around even though it\u2019s a common German name. We hosted a Hildebrandt reunion here in 2011 and people from all over and Germany came. Some of the first Nicholas\u2019 great grandchildren came.\nMy grandfather was known to take in any of his nephews; he was the one everyone looked to for help even if he didn\u2019t have much himself. He was even known to give up his bed to the preacher when he came to town. So it\u2019s an inspiration.\nWhen I lived in Oregon I lived in a tent and camped out on a beach. I call that my hippy phase. But when I was growing up you couldn\u2019t get me to sleep in a tent. I slept in the car when we went camping.\nWhat are the best and worst things about your job?\nThe best is meeting people. The worst is the hours because everything we serve we make here. It\u2019s been much better the last few years with Fred and Joyce here, and the seating up front.\nWhat is one thing you always make sure you pack in your suitcase?\nMy toothbrush.\nWe try to support some non-profit organizations, and we support some fundraisers, sometimes by furnishing lunches.\nWhat does the future hold for you and Hildebrandt\u2019s?\nI hope to be able to work another four or five years. I have a cousin who might be interested in the business. I want to try to keep the family involved. I think it\u2019ll stay a sandwich business although there\u2019s been some interest in adding breakfast.\nThis entry was posted in Featured Article, Today's Buzz by Gary Kauffman.

        "title": "A Trendsetting Triple Threat: Monteverdi, Gluck, and 'Orfeo'",
        "raw_content": "A Trendsetting Triple Threat: Monteverdi, Gluck, and 'Orfeo'\nDo you know which age old story inspired two of the most important works in the history of opera? It's the story of Orpheus, and its remarkable operatic history goes all the way back to the days when opera barely existed.\nThe myth of Orpheus is among the most ancient in Western literature, and when it comes to opera, the story has been around from the very beginning: It's the subject Monteverdi chose when he wrote what's widely regarded as the first great opera ever composed, Orfeo, which appeared in 1607.\nIt would certainly be hard to credit any one person with the invention of an entire form of art. For example, there is cave art as old as 30,000 years -- the earliest paintings ever discovered. But it would be hard to claim that the artists who created them actually invented painting. Surely there were earlier painters whose work simply hasn't survived.\nWhen it comes to music, courses on the history of Western music often start with Gregorian chant -- or even earlier, with the \"Delphic Hymns\" from ancient Greece. But those are just the earliest examples of music that was written down and preserved, not the earliest music ever created.\nStill, Claudio Monteverdi often gets credit for inventing opera -- which just may be an art form entirely unto itself. After all, opera is more than just music combined with storytelling. It's also stagecraft, poetry and even philosophy -- all rolled into one unique form of artistic expression. But, could Monteverdi really have invented that seemingly miraculous artistic mix?\nTechnically, the answer is no. Opera evolved amidst a community of Italian artists in the last years of the 16th century. But nearly all of their earliest works have been lost. The ones that are still around aren't very satisfying, and they're almost never performed. That is, until you get to Monteverdi's Orfeo, in 1607.\nWith Orfeo, Monteverdi created the first opera that both survived the centuries and stuck in the repertory -- a work of music and theater that displayed a brand new sort of artistic alchemy. Somehow, it managed to present the straightforward words of its characters, and express the anguished, chaotic emotions behind those words -- both at the same time, and with remarkable clarity and insight. You might call it the first opera that actually \"works,\" and it's still working in opera houses all over the world more than 400 years after Monteverdi wrote it.\nIn Monteverdi's Orfeo, along with other operas of the time, music was seen as a tool to serve the story. Words were set in a simple, declamatory style, with the music illuminating the poetry and drama of the libretto in a straightforward, no-frills manner\nBut it didn't take long for opera to change -- drastically. As the 18th century rolled around, the trendiest operas were in the style known as <em>opera seria</em>, in which the words of an opera often took second place to rapid-fire, vocal virtuosity. Sometimes, it took dozens of notes to sing a single word -- or even a single syllable! Things got so extreme that by the middle of the 1700s, some composers were fed up, and even offended, by the way opera seria showcased virtuosity -- too often, they thought, at the expense of the written word.\nChief among them was Christoph Willibald Gluck, who headed a movement to \"reform\" opera -- to take it back to its roots. He did this by returning to a simpler style, in which the music was less showy, and devoted simply to expressing the drama and poetry of the words -- as in Monteverdi's day. And not coincidentally, for one of his \"reform operas,\" Gluck chose the same story that had inspired Monteverdi more than 150 years earlier: the story of Orpheus, the legendary poet and musician who sought out his dead wife Eurydice in the underworld.\nOn World of Opera, host Lisa Simeone brings us a fascinating double bill, featuring both of these groundbreaking operas. Monteverdi's Orfeo comes to us from the Misteria Paschalia Festival in Cracow, Poland. Tenor Anicio Zorzi Giustiniani sings the title role, in a production led by conductor Claudio Cavina. After that, it's Glucks' Orfeo ed Euridice, in a production from the G\u00f6teborg Opera in Sweden featuring soprano Katerina Karn\u00e9us as Orfeo, and led by conductor Laurence Cummings.\nRadio Chopin: Episode 175: Nobuyuki Tsujii: The Blind Chopinist",

        "raw_content": "You are at:Home\u00bbNews Pages\u00bbE-Headlines\u00bbHow to Write a Thesis\nThesis is one of the hardest types of academic papers to write. Developing a good Thesis can take up to a year. The students do not have times for that. Some of them often have to work during the studies to earn their living.\nThat is why the students outsource Thesis writing. They order it from reliable writing companies. If you look for a writing agency, check out Customwriting.com or any similar reliable agency online.\nThere are two main Thesis types. These are Bachelor\u2019s and Master\u2019s degree Thesis. The Master\u2019s Thesis is usually longer. They have to be written by the students who want to pursue the scientific career.\nWhatever Thesis type you need to write, there are some tips how to prepare a good paper:\nThesis has to be grounded on proper research. Some types of academic works do not require research. However, for Thesis it is obligatory. The student has to research on the actual problem within the field. The final research conclusions he makes have to bring the real value to the various areas of knowledge.\nIt has to show strong analytical skills of the student. The student can\u2019t simply summarise the sources he uses. He has to critically analyze the facts and figures, and derive logical and insightful conclusions. The analytical conclusions matter in science.\nThesis should be written in a proper formal language and using proper vocabulary. This is a real scientific paper, therefore, all possible vocabulary or style failures are assessed much more seriously than in an ordinary essay.\nIt has to be written according to formatting requirements. Each paper has to be formatted following a certain style. For the Thesis these requirements are even more detailed.\nFinding relevant, reliable and scientific sources for Thesis is a separate task of high complexity. Moreover, these sources have to be used properly for the paper, cited within the text, and referenced correctly in the Reference list.\nWriting good academic work takes much time. On top of that, it requires unique knowledge and well-developed writing skills. If you do not have enough time to work on academic writing, the best is to order the paper. Professionals writers will compose a high-quality Thesis for you.\nTips To Develop Writing Skills\nThe success in Thesis writing depends much on how good the writing skills of the author are. If you do not have strong skills, do not fall into despair. For experienced authors, it takes years to develop them. Here are some tips how to improve them:\nRead academic literature. The more literature you read the easier it will be for your to write in proper manner. You will memorize the academic vocabulary, and also expand your knowledge on specific subject.\nWrite as much as possible. The more you write, the stronger your skills become. You can start with developing small pieces. Produce and essay or a short book review.\nUse dictionaries. Some students underestimate the necessity of using the dictionaries. However, they are very helpful.\nLearn rules of academic formatting styles. It is impossible to produce the work without knowing the rules of formatting. There are many books that explain them.\nThese tips will help you develop skills necessary to produce the type of academic paper. If you practice a lot, you will succeed without doubts. If you don\u2019t have time for that, or if you have specific circumstances that do not allow you to compose a certain paper or make a task on your own, don\u2019t hesitate. It is better to order a paper than to have problems with your professor later, because the task has not been done.",

        "raw_content": "UK and Euro Online Poker Rooms\nCasinoDave.com Poker Overview\nI've been a fan of online poker for about 7 years now. There hasn't really been much focus towards poker on this website. This is primarily because I was more interested in online blackjack, specifically the bonuses, and decided to focus CasinoDave in that direction.\nI have made a page of some of the best poker bonuses that I've found. Although, it should be warned that these poker bonuses are achieved through playing a lot of hands or sit and go tournaments and are usually given to you little by little over time. These bonuses do work just fine, all I'm saying is that you better be pretty good and plan to win on your own because the bonus money given to you just makes up for the rake and tournaments fee that they are taking from you.\nIf you don't think you are good enough to play online poker, you can always check out the poker tips found here to try and improve your game. One very easy suggestion that I have for any online poker player is to slow down and think about what the other people are doing. Who's folding, who's calling, who's raising, who's protecting their big blind, etc. Find that out and classify your opponents and you will be much more successful overall. Here is another poker strategy to read.\nOne of the things that has become popular recently is poker merchandise. I have been meaning to update this page for a while, but you can still find just about anything you would be looking for.\nI have always been a big fan of learning different variations of poker. The first game I learned was 5 card draw when I was about 5. Then came 7 card stud and later on I got into Texas Hold'em a little before the crowd in the late 90's. Any game that came along after that was a game that I at least had to know a little.\nI've learned dozens of poker garage games and other variations. Someday, I will try to create guides and strategies for all the different poker games that you can play online.\nOne of the things that I really enjoyed learning and I'm in the process of mastering are all of the casino variations of poker games that are out there. I think that the most popular one would be video poker.\nThis was one of the first games I ever played at a casino when I was 19. The thing that makes me upset with casinos and video poker is that they lowered the Full House and Flush payouts from 15 to 1 and 9 to 1 down to 9 to 1 and 6 to 1. I think that is crap, but I still do play from time to time.\nThe second game that I love to play at the casino especially is Pai Gow Poker. If you've never played pai gow at the casino with other players then you really haven't played the game. One of the main advantages you get is the opportunity to be the Banker and play your hand up against everyone else.\nThe other two popular casino poker games that I really like are Caribbean stud poker and three card poker. Caribbean stud definitively has the chance for the biggest win. If you bet the progressive and get a royal flush, you can win $100,000 or more.",

Leslie, MA, Instructional Designer\nRebecca Patt, MA, Instructional Technology Specialist, ITC Manager\nMuneeb Mobashar, BA, Instructional Technology Support Specialist\nAshlyn Honor, BA, Instructional Technology Assistant\n(See Graduate Catalog for further details)\nLongwood offers graduate level programs leading to the degree of Master of Business Administration, the degree of Master of Education with majors in Reading, Literacy & Learning and School Librarianship, and the degree of Master of Science with majors in Communication Sciences and Disorders, and Education. Our graduate programs are designed to provide capable students with opportunities for individual inquiry, to develop knowledge and skills necessary to work efficiently and lead effectively, and to integrate academic knowledge with practical applied experiences. In the school librarianship major two tracks, Licensed Teacher and Initial Licensure, are offered. In the education major, areas of concentration include: Counselor Education, Curriculum and Instruction Specialist/Special Education General Curriculum K-12, Educational Leadership, Elementary and Middle School Mathematics, and Health and Physical Education. The Special Education General Curriculum K-12 Initial Licensure concentration is available for persons with a baccalaureate degree in any discipline who wish to obtain a master\u2019s degree plus a teaching license in that area. The M.S. in Education is also awarded to Longwood students enrolled in the Special Education/Liberal Studies five-year program. In addition, professional endorsement only programs in Reading Specialist, School Librarianship and Special Education General Curriculum K-12 are available. The Communication Sciences and Disorders major prepares individuals for entry level positions in speech-language pathology. The Business Administration online major offers concentrations in General Business, Real Estate and Retail Management.\nA senior at Longwood may take up to six hours of graduate credit beyond the undergraduate degree requirements. Such graduate credit may be earned only in 500-level courses and, if it meets course requirements for the degree, may be counted toward a master\u2019s degree. The senior must have an overall GPA that meets the minimum GPA required for admission to the graduate program which offers the course and must receive permission from the department chair of their major and then the Dean of the College of Graduate and Professional Studies. In any case where an undergraduate student is registered for a 500-level course that is to be applied to a graduate degree, the Dean of the College of Graduate and Professional Studies must notify the Office of the Registrar of this designation.\nA student who holds a baccalaureate degree with a minimum 2.75 cumulative GPA from an accredited institution may apply for admission to graduate study in most of our programs. Applications for graduate study are reviewed by the respective graduate admission committees once monthly beginning around the middle of the month on a rolling basis, but adherence to the published deadlines is a good guideline for optimum consideration. Applicants to the Communication Sciences and Disorders program must have a minimum 3.00 cumulative GPA, scores from the General Test of the GRE and submit their applications by February 1st for review for admission to the subsequent fall semester. Applicants to the online Business Administration program must have a minimum 2.75 cumulative GPA, scores from either the General Test of the GRE or the GMAT, and submit their applications by February 1st for admission as a full-time student to the subsequent summer semester or by May 1st for admission as a part-time student to the subsequent fall semester. Applicants to all three tracks of the Counselor Education concentration of the Education major must have a minimum 2.75 cumulative GPA, submit a criminal background check, complete an interview, and submit their applications by February 1st for review for admission to the subsequent summer semester in the College Counseling/Student Affairs and School Counseling tracks and to the subsequent fall semester in the Mental Health Counseling track.\nFor further information regarding admission to the graduate program, contact the College of Graduate and Professional Studies, Longwood University, 201 High Street, Farmville, Virginia 23909; (434) 395-2380 or (877) 267-7883 toll free or graduate@longwood.edu or visit the web site at www.longwood.edu/graduatestudies.

        "raw_content": "Like groundhog\u2019s day, \u2018Happy Death Day\u2019 has seen it all, over and over\nJessica Rothe and Israel Broussard star in a scene from the movie \"Happy Death Day.\" (CNS photo/Universal)\nNEW YORK (CNS) \u2014 With a name like \u201cHappy Death Day\u201d (Universal), a sweet, wholesome story is unlikely to unfold.\nRather, \u201cHappy Death Day,\u201d directed by Christopher Landon (\u201cScouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse\u201d) is an uneasy mix of horror and humor, a slasher movie with a message of self-improvement that doesn\u2019t go far enough.\nJessica Rothe plays college student Tree \u2014 yes, that\u2019s her real name \u2014 who awakens on the morning of her birthday, hung over, in the dorm room of fellow student Carter (Israel Broussard), after an apparent one-night stand.\nDisgusted, she storms out and starts her daily routine, which essentially means being obnoxious to all and sundry, including her sorority president Danielle (Rachel Matthews) and put-upon roommate Lori (Ruby Modine).\nThere\u2019s little time for study, of course, since she\u2019s having an affair with Gregory (Charles Aitken), her married professor. Tree also ignores repeated phone calls from her father, David (Jason Bayle), who is anxious to see her on her birthday.\nAh, but this is no ordinary birthday, for at the end of the day, Tree is stabbed to death by an assailant wearing a baby-faced mask.\nTaking a page from 1993\u2019s time-loop fantasy \u201cGroundhog Day,\u201d Tree awakens in Carter\u2019s room with a major case of deja vu, as her birthday \u2014 make that \u201cdeath\u201d day \u2014 repeats itself. She will continue to relive the same day, with minor variations, always ending with her murder.\nDuring one loop, Carter (who, it is revealed, was a perfect gentleman), accepts Tree\u2019s story and encourages her to play detective to uncover the killer\u2019s identity.\nMuch like Bill Murray\u2019s obnoxious weatherman in \u201cGroundhog Day,\u201d Tree comes to see the error of her selfish ways, and each time loop offers the chance for redemption. She takes Carter\u2019s advice to heart: \u201cIt\u2019s never too late to change. Each new day is a chance to be someone better.\u201d\nThat\u2019s an encouraging message, and Tree\u2019s growth is extraordinary. But Scott Lobdell\u2019s script only goes so far. College-age viewers (and younger) may conclude that anything which makes you happy \u2014 even aberrant behavior \u2014 is a good thing. It\u2019s not.\nThe film contains moments of violence and terror, sexual banter, brief rear female nudity, a benign view of drug use, pornography, homosexual acts and masturbation, and some rough and crude language. The Catholic News Service classification is L \u2014 limited adult audience, films whose problematic content many adults would find troubling. The Motion Picture Association of America rating is PG-13 \u2014 parents strongly cautioned. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13.\nPREVIOUS: Beautifully written memoir recounts lives of Syrians, nation in peril\nNEXT: Elite firefighters face fears and flames in \u2018Only the Brave\u2019",

As an example, if someone DOES commit suicide, though they may not have planned it, it definitely would affect others. The same perhaps could be said for accidents and whatnot.\nI can't definitively say for certain what's true about the afterlife and what isn't, as I haven't been around on these forums for long enough. I can tell you, however, that the human life is subject and at the mercy of time. Things change, and pain is forgotten. I know this might seem like a BS answer, but I was considering suicide not long ago. If you have any questions feel free to send me a PM.\n\"Obscene Language:\nBecause this is a family-friendly forum, cursing and obscene, vulgar, or hateful language has no place here. Please refrain from using such language, both on our forums and when communicating via our private messaging system. \"\nThis is mentioned in the forum guidelines although this could be open to personal interpretation too.\nYes, thank you MC. It's just common sense that most people naturally have.\nHighlander, Feb 10, 2015\nYou consider \"shit\" and \"piss\" to be filthy language? Not the most posh or polished language, true, but if you think that's filthy then you are very sheltered.\nI am not aware of a rule against the occasional curse word on this site. If there is one, link me to it, and i will try not to curse here again. Otherwise, i will use the language that accurately expresses how i feel, and that will sometimes include curses. I doubt there are any children frequenting this site, so that's really not an issue.\nUtilizing curse words sometimes, especially when in conjunction with painful emotions, is not immature. If i were to curse AT other members, that would be, but i don't think i've ever done that.\nSo, you speak as you see fit, and i will do the same.\nI served in the military during time of war. So I am certainly not sheltered. The language you use is what teenagers use to try to act mature; it only shows how childish they are.\nSwearing and cussing in the heat of the moment or when under sudden stress is understandable. But writing a posting requires time and concentration and words can be chosen carefully as there's time to do it. I find the use of swear words unnecessary, unacceptable and wholly avoidable.\nI only do it on the golf course. I'm sure Janef understands. lol.\nPeople don't use that kind of language in business meetings, in front of their doctor, at the dinner table or in the company of strangers.

        "raw_content": "Peek inside the BIG-designed garden village for one of the world\u2019s best restaurants\nComments Off on Peek inside the BIG-designed garden village for one of the world\u2019s best restaurants\nAfter over three years of planning, Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) has completed the new home for Noma, an award-winning, Michelin-star restaurant that was named four times as the best in the world by the \u2018World\u2019s 50 Best Restaurants\u2019 rankings. Opened February 2018, Noma\u2019s new restaurant location is just outside of Copenhagen\u2019s city center on a lakefront site near the Christiania neighborhood. The 14,000-square-foot building is modeled after a garden village that consists of 11 single-story pavilions, each specially designed to realize chef Ren\u00e9 Redzepi\u2019s vision for seasonal and local New Nordic cuisine. Last year, chef Ren\u00e9 Redzepi closed his original two-Michelin-starred Noma after 14 years of operation in a 16th century harborside warehouse. During the one-year closure of his restaurant, Redzepi worked together with architect Bjarke Ingels to sensitively reimagine a new property and an existing ex-military warehouse into \u201can intimate garden village\u201d made up of a series of interconnected, agrarian-inspired structures centered around the restaurant\u2019s heart: the 600-square-foot kitchen. \u201cThe new noma dissolves the traditional idea of a restaurant into its constituent parts and reassembles them in a way that puts the chefs at the heart of it all,\u201d Bjarke Ingels explained. \u201cEvery part of the restaurant experience \u2014 the arrival, the lounge, the barbecue, the wine selection and the private company \u2014 is all clustered around the chefs. From their central position, they have a perfect overview to every corner of the restaurant while allowing every single guest to follow what would traditionally happen behind-the-scenes.

For the Father is the sustenance of all.\nSymbolism is allegorical and beautiful. And God gave us symbols to represent, that which we cannot understand, and that is the infinite spectrum of the Father, and the heavens and the earth He created. And the greatest symbolism is not in man\u2019s words, but the greatest symbolism is in creation itself. \u201cFor behold, He who forms mountains, And creates the wind, Who declares to man what his thought is, And makes the morning darkness, Who treads the high places of the earth--The Lord God of hosts is His name.\u201d (Amos4:13) And God created the water of the earth (Genesis 1:10), and from these waters all living things grew.(Genesis 1:20) And in the garden of Adam and Eve, the riverheads flowed with its sustaining life.(Genesis 2:10) For from that water the gardens grew grain, the bread that sustained their comfort and life.

        "raw_content": "The Amsterdam Declaration\nIn 1952, at the first World Humanist Congress, the founders of IHEU agreed a statement of the fundamental principles of modern Humanism. They called it \u201cThe Amsterdam Declaration\u201d. The Amsterdam Declaration of 1952 was a child of its time. For example, it was set in the world of great power politics and the Cold War, and it asserted that \u201chumanists have confidence that the present crisis can be surmounted\u201d.\nAs befits the nature of Humanism \u2014 friendly to evolution, anathema to dogma \u2014 the statement was updated in 2002. The 50th anniversary World Humanist Congress in 2002, again meeting in the Netherlands, unanimously passed a resolution known as \u201cThe Amsterdam Declaration 2002\u2033. Following the Congress, this updated declaration was adopted unanimously by the IHEU General Assembly, and thus became the official defining statement of World Humanism.\nAmsterdam Declaration 2002\nHumanism is the outcome of a long tradition of free thought that has inspired many of the world\u2019s great thinkers and creative artists and gave rise to science itself.\nThe fundamentals of modern Humanism are as follows:\n1. Humanism is ethical. It affirms the worth, dignity and autonomy of the individual and the right of every human being to the greatest possible freedom compatible with the rights of others. Humanists have a duty of care to all of humanity including future generations. Humanists believe that morality is an intrinsic part of human nature based on understanding and a concern for others, needing no external sanction.\n2. Humanism is rational. It seeks to use science creatively, not destructively. Humanists believe that the solutions to the world\u2019s problems lie in human thought and action rather than divine intervention. Humanism advocates the application of the methods of science and free inquiry to the problems of human welfare. But Humanists also believe that the application of science and technology must be tempered by human values. Science gives us the means but human values must propose the ends.\n3. Humanism supports democracy and human rights. Humanism aims at the fullest possible development of every human being. It holds that democracy and human development are matters of right. The principles of democracy and human rights can be applied to many human relationships and are not restricted to methods of government.\n4. Humanism insists that personal liberty must be combined with social responsibility. Humanism ventures to build a world on the idea of the free person responsible to society, and recognises our dependence on and responsibility for the natural world. Humanism is undogmatic, imposing no creed upon its adherents. It is thus committed to education free from indoctrination.\n5. Humanism is a response to the widespread demand for an alternative to dogmatic religion. The world\u2019s major religions claim to be based on revelations fixed for all time, and many seek to impose their world-views on all of humanity. Humanism recognises that reliable knowledge of the world and ourselves arises through a continuing process. of observation, evaluation and revision.\n6. Humanism values artistic creativity and imagination and recognises the transforming power of art. Humanism affirms the importance of literature, music, and the visual and performing arts for personal development and fulfilment.\n7. Humanism is a lifestance aiming at the maximum possible fulfilment through the cultivation of ethical and creative living and offers an ethical and rational means of addressing the challenges of our times. Humanism can be a way of life for everyone everywhere.\nOur primary task is to make human beings aware in the simplest terms of what Humanism can mean to them and what it commits them to. By utilising free inquiry, the power of science and creative imagination for the furtherance of peace and in the service of compassion, we have confidence that we have the means to solve the problems that confront us all. We call upon all who share this conviction to associate themselves with us in this endeavour.\nIHEU Congress 2002 Click here to visit the IHEU Website",

Many people do not even remember what they had to go through, about the war. But not two veterans of these military operations. Once upon a time, a former peacemaker from the United States of America absolutely accidentally meets in his life the same veteran of Serbia, who at that time defended his country. Their memories are still fresh. First and foremost, the hatred for each other. It is as if time has stopped for them, and the war is still going on. Their hatred to each other even after many years are unable to even slightly subside. They continue their feud, which is just Grand, global scale. This is not just a feud, but a real war, which involves almost a lot of other people. It seems that the third World war began to emerge. The Serb did not accidentally find an American veteran. He dreams with all his heart to avenge his past, for his actions, which were addressed to his people, country. The only thing that can calm the Serbian veteran is only revenge. It is the cruel and ruthless revenge against the American veteran that can prevent the emergence and development of the Third world war.\"\nThe Killing Season Direct Download Links for seasons 1,2\nThe Killing Season Season 1",

        "raw_content": "Home > News > PERSONNEL WELFARE: NAF COMMISSIONS NEW ACCOMMODATION, BLOCKS OF CLASSROOMS AT 209 QUICK RESPONSE GROUP IPETU IJESHA\nPERSONNEL WELFARE: NAF COMMISSIONS NEW ACCOMMODATION, BLOCKS OF CLASSROOMS AT 209 QUICK RESPONSE GROUP IPETU IJESHA\nThe Nigerian Air Force (NAF) yesterday, 10 May 2018, commissioned some newly executed projects at the 209 Quick Response Group (QRG) Ipetu Ijesha, aimed at addressing the welfare needs of the Unit\u2019s personnel and their families. The commissioned projects include a block of transit accommodation of 10 studio flats and 2 blocks of additional classrooms at the Air Force Primary School Ipetu Ijesha for the benefit of dependants of NAF personnel and members of the host community.\nSpeaking during the commissioning ceremony, the Executive Governor of the State of Osun, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, who was represented by Senator Mudasiru Hussein, commended the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, for his tremendous contributions to national development. The Governor also eulogized the virtues of the NAF leadership for its commitment to providing new facilities and upgrading existing ones across NAF Commands and Units. In addition, Ogbeni Aregbesola was full of appreciation to the CAS for the establishment of 209 QRG in Ipetu Ijesha, noting that the Unit had contributed significantly to security in the State and in the entire Southwestern region. He then pledged the continuous commitment of the State Government to all the security outfits in the State of Osun.\nThe CAS, had earlier disclosed that the evolving security environment necessitated the expansion of the NAF to better provide swift and adequate responses whenever required. According to him, 209 QRG in particular was established under the Special Operations Command (SOC) to provide prompt response to any emerging security challenges in the Southwestern part of Nigeria. The CAS explained that the NAF provided the new facilities to ensure that the morale and state of readiness of personnel remain high to promote effective service delivery. He further stated that the newly commissioned facilities have been deliberately made available for the benefit of Ipeju Ijesha residents, as a way of enhancing civil military relations.\nSpeaking further, the CAS expressed his appreciation to the Government of the State of Osun for providing the NAF with sufficient land to build the Base and develop the training areas for shooting range, jungle warfare and survival training. He used the opportunity to equally appreciate the support the NAF had been receiving from President Muhammadu Buhari whom he noted, had created the enabling environment for the NAF to continue to provide the needed welfare facilities for personnel and host communities. It would be recalled that the NAF, in 2017, expanded the facilities at the Unit's Medical Centre to meet the healthcare needs of the increasing population of personnel on the Base as well as members of the civil populace.\nThe 209 QRG, which began operations in December 2016, is positioned to conduct a wide spectrum of special operations as demanded by the exigencies of the situation across the Southwestern region. The location of the Unit in Ipetu Ijesha is to ensure centrality within the assigned areas of responsibility and to provide a conducive environment for training and preparation for any contingency. Present at the occasion were a time CAS and former Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal Oluseyi Petirin and the Paramount Ruler of Ijeshaland, Oba Dr Gabriel Aromolaran.",

This bridge across Robinson Run near the Rennerdale entrance to the Trail is the result of a $41,000 grant given to Collier Township by the PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. The Township has budgeted about $30,000. Nevertheless, there still remains about a $35,000 gap between these funds and the actual cost. The Panhandle Trail Association has contributed $5,000 and entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with Collier Twp. to help in a joint fundraising effort for the rest.\nThe bridge leads directly to a network of hiking trails on the Chartiers Nature Conservancy property and more challenging woods and primitive paths on Collier Township-owned property.\nWe hope everyone will enjoy the old growth forest and rare, exquisite wildflowers on this beautiful hillside.",

        "title": "XB-70A Crash",
        "raw_content": "The Crash of the XB-70 Valkyrie\nWhat was suppose to be a routine photo shoot turned to disaster. General Electric, the designer and manufacturer of the powerful engines of the XB-70, wanted a few promotional photographs featuring a \"family photo\" of the Air Force aircraft using GE engines. It was simple and perfectly reasonable request from a colossal supporter of the military. As the photo crew boarded their Learjet for the shoot, none aboard could have anticipated the outcome.\nJust after the last shot of the day was taken, a Lockheed/NASA F-104N, flown by NASA chief test pilot Joseph Walker, was sucked into the jet vortex of the giant XB-70. The F-104N flipped over onto the top of the massive bomber, clipped off the bombers left tail section and turned into the massive fireball pictured here. If you look at the XB-70 in the upper left, you can see the left vertical stabilizer is missing.\nThe crew of the Valkyrie, initially unaware of the collision, continued in straight and level flight for 16 seconds. However, the aircraft entered into a unrecoverable flat spin.\nThe XB-70 continued down until it struck the desert floor. Al White ejected in the final few seconds, but unfortunately, Major Cross lost his life when the XB-70 impacted the ground.\nAfter the crash, Air Force investigators comb through the wreckage looking for the flight recorder.\nStatement by the President, Lyndon B. Johnson, on the Death of Test Pilots Joseph A. Walker and Carl S. Cross\nJoe Walker and Major Cross gave their lives in advancing science and technology. Their deaths remind us how dependent we are on men of exceptional ability in the development of new vehicles in flight.\nThey died while training for demanding assignments in a new field of major national interest--research on supersonic transport flight. They added immeasurably to the progress this Nation is making in that effort.\nI extend my deepest sympathies to their families.\nThe statement was read by Bill D. Moyers, Special Assistant to the President, at his news conference at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, June 8, 1966, at the White House. It was not made public in the form of a White House press release.\nAssigning Blame...\nFour Air Force officers were charged with causing the crash. They were Colonel Joseph F. Cotton, the XB-70 test force director, and Albert M. Cates, director of systems test at Air Force Flight Test Center, Lt Col James G. Smith, the director of information (soon to be public affairs), and Lt. Bill Campbell, the chief of media relations at Edwards.\nAccording to Campbell, at the urging of a Texas congressman, and head of military appropriations, the Air Force convened a \"collateral board\" to find those responsible. Unfortunately, the man who was responsible, Joe Walker, perished in the mid-air.\nSo the Air Force had to find someone else to blame.\nAs Campbell recalled, the board was headed by a two-star improbably named Joseph Cody, the chief of staff of the Air Force Systems Command . He had a staff of about eight. All four of the accused had Air Force-appointed lawyers. Campbell was the only one to testify, the others taking the military version of the fifth. The four were charged with violating AF regulations saying if a picture was to be taken with possible national merit, the Secretary of the Air Force's Office of Information (now Public Affairs) would have to bless it.\nCampbell states that if Walker not brought down the XB-70 the photo would have been pretty vanilla. Naturally, after the crash, the photo was pretty special. But the Air Force (\"We take care of our own.\") needed to hang someone and the four were the most available.\nCampbell testified that he LEARNED of the flight when a Major from the Los Angeles branch of SAF/OI called him on a Friday to see if his office wanted press to attend the formation flight, scheduled for Monday or Tuesday of the next week. Campbell stated that knew nothing of the \"formation\" aspect of the flight and asked his boss, Lt. Col. Jim Smith, if he knew anything. Smith did not, but put in a call to Colonel Joe Cotton, the XB-70 test force director. Cotton explained that, yes, there was a formation flight with an F-4, T-38, F-5, B-58 and F-104 scheduled, all GE-powered airframes (The B-58 broke on the day of the flight). BBD&O, the Public Relations firm for GE, had been bugging Cotton for such a photo op, and this flight was perfect as Major Carl Cross, recently having joined the test project, was taking his first ride, hence the max Mach number for much of the flight was .86, a speed the Lear photo chase jet could keep up with.\nSo Campbell's testimony was why should he have asked for SAF/OI approval when he had just learned of the flight from a SAF/OI representative? Campbell was exonerated. But the three others received a transfer (Cates), or letters of reprimand.\nInterestingly enough, the Major who told Campbell of the flight showed up in his office during the trial. The Major was taking his family out for a visit to the AFFTC. The trial was on a break, but Campbell told him to stay where he was and reported to General Cody that the guy who told him about the flight was actually in Campbell's office! Cody called for a recess and then told him to send the Major on his way, as the court did not want to talk to him. In Campbell's opinion, the Air Force wanted to settle this matter at the lowest possible level.\nOf further interest, Campbell's attorney contacted the Air Force Director of Information, then Brig.

        "raw_content": "Amy Johnson, C.B.E. - Pioneering British aviatrix. She had set numerous long-distance records during the 1930s.\nCold temperatures, poor visibility and weather\nFrom Blackpool to RAF Kidlington Airbase, near Oxford, England\nThe Thames estuary, in the English Channel\nAn twin-engine Airspeed AS.10 Oxford - used for training British aircrews\nIt is generally thought is bailed out of her plane successfully, but drowned.\nAlthough she was seen alive in the water, a rescue attempt failed and her body was never recovered. The incident also led to the death of her would-be rescuer, Lieutenant Commander Walter Fletcher of HMS Hazlemere, who dove into the chilly winter waters for Johnson.\nThe searchers did find her flight authorization papers and some gear\nbearing her name.\nThe mysterious circumstance of how she came to be so far off course and her disappearance under the waves has lead to various theories. One maintains that she was flying a spy mission and was shot down by either friendly or enemy fire, while another speculates that she staged her own death.\nBut reports from two men associated with the Haslemere offer two different, but feasible, scenarios. From statements given for Probate Court proceedings soon after her disappearance, one Haslemere seaman said Johnson drifted to close to the ship's stern and the heaving seas brought the ship down on top of her. And more recently, during a BBC interview, a wartime clerk at the RAF flight office at Sheerness says that he prepared a report for 5 January 1941 for another of the ship's seaman. In it the seaman claims that because Johnson was unable to reach the ropes tossed to her, someone threw the engines in reverse and accidentally drew her into the propeller.\nShe was the first member of the British Air Transport Auxiliary to die in service.\nHer commanding officer Pauline Gower, who headed the women's section of the ATA, defended Johnson's record saying that the aviator would never had done anything reckless or unwise.\nHer death in an Oxford was somewhat ironic, as she had been one of the original subscribers to the share offer for Airspeed, the plane's manufacturer.",

        "raw_content": "Yet Another New Civil War Blog\nWord Press tells me when someone links to my blog. I saw a new incoming link that I\u2019ve never seen before this afternoon, so I decided to check it out. The link came from another new Civil War blog that has just launched. It\u2019s called Civil War Navy, et al., run by Andrew Duppstadt. Andrew is the Assistant Curator of Education for the North Carolina Division of State Historic Sites and is a Civil War naval reenactor. Welcome to the blogosphere, Andrew. I\u2019ve added a link to your blog.\nWow, I Haven\u2019t Done That in a Long Time\u2026.\nPeople often ask me how I manage to practice law full time and be a prolific writer. I always tell them it\u2019s all about discipline, but there\u2019s really more to it than that, although self-discipline is certainly a critical element of my success.\nI\u2019m extremely fortunate to have an extremely understanding and cooperative wife in Susan. She wholeheartedly supports my work, and her indulgence goes a long way toward making me as productive as I am.\nI\u2019ve also been fortunate enough not to have been blessed with being handy. I\u2019m not. I have a few very basic skills, but beyond that, I\u2019m not handy at all. As just one example, the last time that I tired to build something out of wood by myself, it was the summer between my freshman and sophomore years in college when I built a rack for my stereo components. I still have it all these years later. It\u2019s not pretty, but it is very functional. However, it means that I seldom have projects around the house to occupy my time.\nThere\u2019s one other reason. We live on a good sized lot, about four tenths of an acre. That means we have two pretty large yards, including a fenced back yard. With three big dogs, that\u2019s critical. For the past ten years or so (we\u2019ve lived in this house for 12 years), I\u2019ve paid a guy to mow our lawn. It\u2019s something I\u2019ve been more than happy to permit someone else to do. However, with Susan unemployed and my cash flow not flowing yet after leaving the firm, money\u2019s been very tight around here. Consequently, after discussing it, we decided that it wasn\u2019t smart to spend $150 per month to pay someone to cut the grass right now, so we\u2019re going to do it ourselves this year. Susan did it last week, meaning it was my turn today. It\u2019s literally been ten years since the last time I did it, and I\u2019d forgotten just how miserable of a job it is. For one thing, the little trees that weren\u2019t really much of a hindrance ten years ago aren\u2019t so little any more, and they most assuredly are a hindrance now. For another, parts of our back yard don\u2019t drain well, and it\u2019s a gooey, muddy mess in the far left corner. Finally, with three big dogs, there are, shall we say, lots of land mines out there in that yard to avoid. I stepped in one tonight. It took me an hour and a half and I was a sweaty, dirty mess by the time I was done, and my elbow was bothering me, too. I took a shower, and now I\u2019m vegging on the couch.\nThat\u2019s an hour and a half that I could have been writing\u2026.. \ud83d\ude42\nWelcome to Nick and Goodbye to Civil War Gazette\nNick Kurtz has started a new blog called Civil War Musings. His first few posts\u2013about a recent battlefield trip to Maryland\u2013are quite good. I\u2019ve added a link to Nick\u2019s blog. Welcome to the blogosphere, Nick. Have fun.\nThere has not been a new post on the Civil War Gazette blog since January 31, so I have deleted the link to it. If it ever returns, I will consider restoring the link, but for now, goodbye\u2026..\nAbout once per week, I get a call from J. D. about something he has found on Google\u2019s book search site. He spends a lot of time trolling the complete versions of the public domain books that can be found there. He will call me to tip me off to some really obscure source that is of interest, and a fair number of them pertain to Ulric Dahlgren. Yesterday was an especially good one.\nAbraham Lincoln had three personal secretaries. Two of them are well-known, John Hay and John G. Nicolay. The third is not well-known at all. His name was William O. Stoddard, and Stoddard wrote a memoir of his time at the White House titled Inside the White House During War Times. There was a nice anecdote in the book that recounted a dance that Ulric Dahlgren attended in Washington, D. C. in February 1864, just after being fitted for a prosthetic leg. Doris Kearns Goodwin recounts this incident in her book Team of Rivals, but I had been unable to locate her source, so my working draft cited to Goodwin\u2019s book. When J. D. tipped me off the Stoddard book, I now not only had the primary source, I also had three good quotes to use that Goodwin had not employed. I now cite to the primary source, which is always my preference when writing.\nThe problem is that this sort of thing keeps happening. Folks are constantly feeding me tidbits when they know I\u2019m working on projects, and I really appreciate their thinking of me. Usually, they\u2019re items worth having, so I\u2019m grateful to get them. The problem, however, is that it raises a very legitimate question: when do you have enough? When do you say enough already? I\u2019ve been writing the Dahlgren bio on and off for fourteen\u2013almost fifteen\u2013months now. There have been long gaps due to things going on in my life, but I\u2019ve been diligently pressing forward with this work and it\u2019s pretty much finished at this point. However every time that I think it\u2019s done, something else surfaces like the Stoddard material that J. D. tipped me off to yesterday.\nMy old friend Clark B. \u201cBud\u201d Hall has been working on a study of the June 9, 1863 Battle of Brandy Station for something like twenty years now. For about ten of those years, I\u2019ve been steadily feeding him primary source material on the battle as I find it. Bud already has hundreds\u2013perhaps even thousands\u2013of sources on the battle, and it really becomes a question of decreasing returns. When do you say \u201cEnough\u201d?\nA basic proposition is that you will never get EVERY source pertaining to a particular topic. It\u2019s impossible because of the vast amount of material that remains in private hands or is far too difficult to find because it\u2019s in some incredibly obscure place where nobody would ever think to look. That means that, at some point, the historian has to say, \u201cOkay, I\u2019ve given this my best shot\u201d and pull the trigger. I think I\u2019m now at that point with Dahlgren. There is one thing I\u2019ve been looking for, and if it turns up, I will gladly have it, but other than that, I think I can safely say that I have more primary source material on Ulric Dahlgren than anyone else has ever accumulated. Consequently, I\u2019ve adopted the attitude that if someone else can surpass my research, then bully for them, and I will be the first one to shake his or her hand and say \u201cjob well done\u201d.\nThere is clearly a point where enough is truly enough, and with the exception of locating this one particiular newspaper account apparently written by Ulric Dahlgren just a few weeks before his death that has turned out to be pretty much impossible to find, I\u2019ve reached my \u201cenough is enough\u201d point with this project. I\u2019ve been searching for that article for several years now, and I\u2019ve pretty much given up at this point after reviewing dozens of papers. It\u2019s literally like searching for a needle in a haystack, and I\u2019ve reached my point of frustration with it. That means it\u2019s about time to pull the trigger and declare the project complete.\nPictures from New Orleans and Austin\u2026\nAs promised, here are some of the the pictures from my whirlwind tour of New Orleans and Austin. This first batch is from Metairie Cemetery in New Orleans.\nThe flag marks the grave of Gen. P. G. T. Beauregard, which is in a mausoleum that houses veterans of the Army of Tennessee. Atop this mausoleum is a handsome equestrian monument to Albert Sidney Johnston. Sadly, I screwed up my attempt to take a photo of it.\nThis is the mausoleum of Gen. John Bell Hood and his family, all of whom died of disease in an epidemic.\nThis is the grave of Lt. Gen. Richard Taylor, the son of President Zachary Taylor, and his family.\nThis is a cenotaph to the Washington Artillery of New Orleans, one of the finest artillery units of the American Civil War. Note the upright concrete cannon barrels being used to hold the chains surrounding the monument.\nThis is a gilt monument to Joan of Arc that sits in the heart of the French Quarter. It was a gift to the people of New Orleans from French President Charles de Gaulle.\nThe next batch of photos is from the Texas State Cemetery in Austin.\nThis is the grave of Confederate Maj. Gen. John A. Wharton, who was killed by a Confederate cavalry officer in Houston on April 6, 1865.\nThis is the grave of Brig. Gen. Adam Rankin \u201cStovepipe\u201d Johnson, the fine Confederate partisan and cavalry commander. Johnson and his brigade made the trip to Ohio with John Hunt Morgan in the summer of 1863.\nThis is the grave of Confederate Brig. Gen. Benjamin McCulloch, killed in action at the March 1862 Battle of Pea Ridge. McCulloch was a veteran of the Texas War of Independence, the Mexican War, and Texas politics.\nGen. Albert Sidney Johnston is also buried in this cemetery. He was briefly interred in New Orleans and later moved to Austin after he died in action at the April 1862 Battle of Shiloh. Unfortunately, I wasn\u2019t able to figure out how to get a decent photo of his grave, which is topped by a sculpture of the deceased Johnston lying in repose in his Confederate general\u2019s uniform.\nThere was a Confederate old soldier\u2019s home in Austin after the war, and many of those old Rebels are buried in a specific section of the Texas State Cemetery. Here\u2019s a panoramic view of some of their graves.\nThis is the grave of Stephen P. Austin, the father of the Texas Republic.\nThis is the grave of former Texas governor and Secretary of the Treasury John Connally and his wife. When Connally died, apparently, the FBI wanted to see about recovering bullet fragments from the Kennedy assassination from his body.\nThis is a monument to the victims of 9/11. The girders are from the Twin Towers. The Texas state flag you can see in the distance is flying at half staff in honor of the victims of the mass killing at Virginia Tech.\nThis is the State Capitol of Texas. The dome of this building is higher in elevation than the dome atop the U. S. Capitol.\nThis monument pays tribute to Texas\u2019 contributions to the Confederate cause. Jefferson Davis stands atop it, along with an infantryman, a cavalryman, an artillerist, and a sailor. There are some statistics included, and a list of every engagement where Texas soldiers participated.\nThis is a monument to Terry\u2019s Texas Rangers, also known as the 8th Texas Cavalry.\nThis is a monument to the Texas Brigade of the Army of Northern Virginia, one of the hardest-fighting units of all of the Confederacy.\nThis is a monument to the defenders of the Alamo. It\u2019s a handsome monument with a beautiful bas relief of the Battle of the Alamo on its face.\nThis is my host, Dan Laney, the president of the Austin CWRT. Dan is standing alongside one of two brass Napoleon guns outside the Texas State Capitol. They date from the spring of 1865, after the surrender of the Confederacy.\nThere are a few more photos, but these are the best of the lot. It was quite a trip.\nWhen I got home yesterday, I had a wonderful and completely unexpected surprise waiting for me. Although it was not due out until July 1, the University of Nebraska Press has just released the new edition of my book Glory Enough for All: Sheridan\u2019s Second Raid and the Battle of Trevilian Station, which has been out of print for about four years now.\nThe new edition is identical to the original edition, although it\u2019s been completely re-typeset. I was always very, very unhappy that Brassey\u2019s allowed the book to go out of print, and I\u2019ve been eagerly awaiting its re-release for a year now. As I said, I didn\u2019t expect it until July 1, so the fact that it\u2019s out now was a very pleasant and unexpected surprise when I got home yesterday.\nSix Flights in Three Days\nThe whirlwind trip is over. Here\u2019s a recap. Susan will post my photos over the weekend.\nI left on Wednesday morning. My flight out was at 6:00 AM, meaning that the alarm clock went off at 4:15, an obscene hour. I can remember times in my youth when I wasn\u2019t finished throwing up at that time of the night, but those days are LONG gone. Now, the thought of getting up at that hour is enough to make me tired just to think about it. I flew to Atlanta and changed planes, arriving in New Orleans a few minutes before 10:00 local time.\nCharles Nunez, my host, took me straight to Metairie Cemetery. PGT Beauregard, John Bell Hood, and Richard Taylor are all buried there. Jefferson Davis rested there for a couple of years before being moved to Richmond, and so did Sidney Johnston. There\u2019s a handsome equestrian monument to Sidney Johnston in the cemetery. Baseball Hall of Famer Mel Ott is buried in that cemetery, and so is Louis Prima of \u201cJust a Gigolo\u201d fame. I\u2019d seen photos of New Orleans cemeteries, but had never been in one before, and it was just as interesting as I expected it to be. There is a monuemnt to the men of the Army of Northern Virginia in the middle of the cemetery, and one to the Army of Tennessee where the monument to Johnston stands and where Beauregard is buried.\nWe left there, briefly visited a couple of other cemeteries, and then headed downtown, passing through the 17th Ward to get there. I couldn\u2019t see much from the freeway, but Charles tells me that half of the local population has never returned after Katrina. There\u2019s plenty of wreckage and debris from the storm left to be seen, and it\u2019s really kind of shocking to consider just how much destruction occurred. I did get a good look at the infamous convention center and the rehabilitated Super Dome, both of which played major roles in the Katrina tragedy. We then went to lunch, and after lunch, we had a driving tour, passing the D-Day museum and the Confederate Memorial Hall, which are across the street from each other.\nI had REALLY wanted to visit the War of 1812 battlefield just outside New Orleans, but the battlefield was under 12 feet of water during Katrina. The visitor\u2019s center was pretty much completely destroyed, as were replica earthworks, etc. The place is still in pretty bad shape, and Charles suggested saving it for another visit, as hopefully, things will be more like normal and the visitor\u2019s center will be re-opened. I was disappointed, as seeing the battlefield was one of the things I was really looking forward to doing on this trip.\nCharles then took me to my hotel, the Omni Royal Orleans Hotel, as I had some work to do for a client. I got the stuff done and then had about three hours to wander and explore the French Quarter, which I did. It\u2019s quite a place. I made a point of walking the eight block length of Bourbon Street, but it was mid-afternoon on a weekday, and it was pretty tame. Having said that, I\u2019ve never seen so many strip joints in one place as I saw there.\nCharles then showed me more of New Orleans, including Anne Rice\u2019s house and the home where Jefferson Davis died, which is just down the same block from Anne Rice\u2019s home. We went to Tulane, where I did my talk. It was a good crowd and a good evening, but it\u2019s the first time that I\u2019ve ever spoken to an out-of-town roundtable and ws not fed dinner. After walking three or four miles, I was starving.\nAfterward, a member of the group wanted to show me his personal museum. His father was a colonel in the horse cavalry, and he\u2019s had a life-long fascination with cavalry. He owns a number of artifacts from the Little Big Horn battlefield, a hand-drawn map by George Custer, and some of the coolest cavalry artifacts I\u2019ve ever seen. For a cavalry guy, it was heaven on earth. After a stop at a Wendy\u2019s drive-through, it was back to the hotel.\nThe next morning, Charles picked me up far too early (6:45) and we went to a place in Metairie called The Morning Call for beignets, the sugary donuts that Jimmy Buffett sang about in his song \u201cThe Wino and I Know\u201d. Fabulous. And then to the airport for the next two flights\u2026.\nI flew to Austin by way of Dallas/Fort Worth. Dan Laney of the Austin Civil War Roundtable picked me up and we went to lunch, as it was 12:15. After a lunch of excellent Texas barbequed brisket, we went to the Texas State Cemetery. I visited Albert Sidney Johnston\u2019s grave, the graves of John Wharton, Adam Rankin \u201cStovepipe\u201d Johnson, Benjamin McCullough, and several other Confederate generals. We wandered the Confederate burial field and visited the other notables, including the graves of Stephen Austin, Barbara Jordan, and John Connally.\nWe left there and Dan showed me the home on the University of Texas campus where George and Libbie Custer stayed in 1867, and then on to the state capitol building, which is an incredibly impressive structure. There are handsome monuments to Terry\u2019s Texas Rangers, Hood\u2019s Texas Brigade, and the Alamo outside. We then went to the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum for a VERY quick visit. From there, it was to my hotel to check in and grab a shower. The place is called The Mansion at Judges Hill, which is a very plush hotel and restaurant in an old house that was used as a drug and alcohol rehab place. It\u2019s one of the nicest hotel rooms I\u2019ve ever seen.\nThen it was off to Dan\u2019s lovely country club for the meeting. Regular reader Lanny Tanton made a point of introducing himself to me, and we had a nice visit. After a yummy dinner of fajitas, I gave my talk. At the end, Dan presented me with a Florida Gators hat, which I guess is appropriate for someone from Columbus, as a gag gift. My real gift was a certificate signed by the Governor of Texas making me an honorary Texan, which prompted me to say that I guessed I had better stop referring to Texas as \u201cBaja Oklahoma\u201d, which broke up the entire room. One member of the group brought nine of my books with him for me to sign, and he indicated that he owns about 4,000 Civil War books, of which half are signed by the authors. Dan, another member of the Roundtable, and I had a drink and a nice talk, and then it was off to bed, as I had another very early morning.\nDan picked me up at 6:30, and it was off to the airport. I flew from Austin to Atlanta, and then Atlanta to Columbus, arriving here at 1:30 or so. I had to put in a couple of hours at the office to get some stuff out, and that was it for me.\nSix flights. Three days. Three VERY early mornings. I\u2019m beat.\nPictures will follow tomorrow. First, I need some rest\u2026..\nOne Last Comment on Random Violence\nAs I was looking at my blog earlier today, I realized that the last two posts were the result of random violence leading to multiple gunshot deaths committed by mentally ill individuals. Unfortunately, mental illnesses remain highly stigmatized in this country, and people like the perpetrators of these two crimes did not get the mental health care they obviously needed. It\u2019s clear that something needs to change, and change soon, or else these types of nightmarish scenarioes will continue to play out.\nWhile working away at my desk this morning, I learned of the senseless tragedy at Virginia Tech University. Nearly 25 years ago, when I was still an undergrad, I spent a weekend at Virginia Tech that was one of the most fun weekends of my life. Consequently, I\u2019ve always had very fond memories of the place. Today\u2019s news was shocking, to say the very least. That this sort of thing continues to happen is nearly incomprehensible to me. My friend Tom Perry is a Virginia Tech alum, as is fellow blogger and regular reader Ken Noe. I can\u2019t imagine what they must be feeling tonight knowing that something like this happened at their alma mater.\nSusan and I have an old friend named Melissa Delcour. Some of you may know Melissa. She is a high school teacher in Virginia who has worked as a staff historian at the Fredericksburg/Spotsylvania battlefield park. This evening, we got an e-mail from Melissa indicating that one of her former students, a lovely young woman named Emily, who graduated from high school last spring and was wrapping up her freshman year at Virginia Tech, was one of the casualties today, struck down in the flower of youth. Hearing that\u2013being able to put a human face on this senseless tragedy\u2013makes it all the more real and all the more personal.\nMy heart goes out to Emily, her family, the rest of the victims, their families, and everyone else whose life was touched by today\u2019s events. We can only hope that nothing like this will ever happen again, although I fear it will.\nMeeting Other Writers\nOne thing that I particularly enjoy is meeting other writers. I especially enjoy meeting other writers from other disciplines, because I learn from comparing their research and writing methodologies with how I do my work.\nOn December 8, 2004, the 24th anniversary of the assassination of John Lennon, a tragedy occurred here in Columbus. A mentally ill gunman rushed the stage at a local venue called the Alrosa Villa, shot and killed a prominent thrash metal guitar player named Darrell Abbott, and was going to go after other members of his band, called Damageplan. One of the band\u2019s roadies, a patron, and a member of the Alrosa security team rushed the gunman and tried to take him down and were all killed for their trouble. A special duty Columbus police officer killed the gunman with a single blast of his shotgun, saving countless lives. It was a terrible tragedy, and put the Alrosa Villa and Columbus on the national radar screen, and definitely NOT in a good way.\nA fellow from Dayton named Chris Armold spent fourteen months researching and writing a book on this event, titled A Vulgar Display of Power: Courage and Carnage at the Alrosa Villa(the title of the book comes from the title of an album by a metal band called Pantera; Darrell Abbott was one of the founders of Pantera). Chris is a free-lance writer who mainly focuses on heavy metal rock and roll, but this episode obviously intrigued him enough to tackle a major project on it. I saw a piece on the news about the book and decided that I wanted to read it. We stopped by a local Borders yesterday and I was surprised to find that Chris was conducting a booksigning there when we got there.\nI had looked the book up on Amazon and saw that Chris had been a master sergeant in the Air Force who\u2019s written a couple of books on military history, and we ended up having a rather lengthy and delightful conversation comparing the differences between true crime writing and military history writing, and also about how different it is being able to speak to witnesses and participants instead of having to rely upon 140 year old documents as I so often have to do. He pointed out that while it\u2019s nice to be able to speak to people first-hand, the downside of that is that there are lots of people who will criticize and pick on any tiny little error. Fortunately, I don\u2019t have that to contend with, but everyone is a critic who will criticize almost anything, so I understand that.\nI really enjoyed talking with Chris, particularly when I learned that he had an ancestor who served in the 45th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry of the Ninth Corps who was wounded in action at both Antietam and at tthe Wilderness. Chris has a real interest in the Civil War, and he is knowledgeable about the Civil War. He even expressed an interest in one of my books, which was very flattering. We left it that we would stay in touch, and I hope that happens.\nYou never know who you\u2019re going to meet at a bookstore\u2026.",

With the UNEP identifying that the building and building construction industry represents around one-quarter of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions worldwide, we must focus on sustainable, low carbon buildings.\nNew Anglia, like most of the UK, is facing a major housing shortage, New Anglia LEP are planning to build 117,000 new houses by 2026 to combat this. However, with residential energy use representing 15% of total UK greenhouse gas emissions, there is increasing pressure to consider carbon reduction during the concept, design and construction of buildings.\nOptimising the IoT and using new technologies can enable us to be more efficient with domestic and commercial energy use. IoT adoption continues to progress, allowing objects to be sensed or controlled remotely across existing network infrastructure by businesses. The uses of smartphones are constantly evolving, the next use of mobile devices is to control your homes with them to live in a smart home.\nAround one third of global final energy consumption is used in Buildings and Buildings Construction. It is estimated that greener buildings, lower in carbon emissions, can result in a decrease of 70% in waste output. With housing demand at a high in the UK and globally, we must rethink how to manage our built environment.\nThrough the link on the right you can access an online business map of the companies within the Built Environment sector, spanning across Norfolk and Suffolk.",

Single-handedly revolutionizing the building industry by allowing the builder to construct walls without having to wait for door frames to be installed, Sklar's invention drove manufacturing at Knockdown for three generations.

        "title": "Martin Kohn of Kohn Shnier Architects on Prefabricated Modular Construction | CMHI",
        "raw_content": "In 2009, Royal Homes of Wingham, Ontario, asked Martin Kohn of the Toronto architectural firm Kohn Shnier to design a modest modular home that could be used as a cabin or \u201cbunkie\u201d in rural areas. Like many architects, Martin was intrigued by factory-based residential construction approaches taken in projects such as the recent 32-storey modular B2 residential tower at Atlantic Yards in Brooklyn. The B2 tower, one of the tallest modular buildings on earth, implements methods pioneered by architect and visionary Charles-Edouard Jeanneret-Gris, known as \u201cLe Corbusier\u201d.\nThe Big Apple is worlds away from the Canadian countryside, but manufactured housing can be installed at almost any building site. In response to Royal\u2019s request, Martin designed the Q1, a 646 sq. ft. unit. The Q Series designs come in \u201cleft-hand\u201d and \u201crighthand\u201d versions, and entranceway locations are adaptable to meet site-specific requirements. Overhangs can be attached onsite to regulate sun, shade and precipitation exposure in response to the specific requirements of the location and the preferences of the customer. By virtue of the factory-based method of construction, the time required for work on the site is substantially reduced, potentially resulting in much less disturbance of the surrounding environment and the people living nearby.\nKohn Shnier was soon approached by a prospective buyer who was impressed with the Q Series concept and design features but wanted a larger home. The result was the \u201cPrefab Cottage for Two Families\u201d, installed in Ontario\u2019s Muskoka region cottage country. The design landed Kohn Shnier Architects the prestigious Governor General\u2019s Medal in Architecture in 2010, the highest honour awarded in Canada for excellence in the architectural profession.\nThe design of the cottage celebrates its factory-floor origin, taking full advantage of its modularity. At 124 ft. long and 16 ft. wide, the appearance of the home is striking. The long, narrow shape, for which modular construction was criticized in the past, is perfect for this multi-family cottage. There is a view of the lake from every room, and each bedroom offers the privacy and intimacy usually associated with individual cabins. In fact, the entire upper east wall of the sleeping area consists of glass sliding doors that bring the beauty of the surrounding forest into the building and provide direct access to the outdoors from each bedroom.\nMartin says that designers, builders and salespeople need to understand that the distinct features of manufactured housing are something that should be presented enthusiastically to the public. Manufactured housing really lends itself to contemporary, modern design by its very nature, he says, and people need to know that high quality is absolutely achievable with this method of construction. \u201cA well-designed, well-built building is a green building,\u201d he says.\nThere is great potential for increased use of modular construction that is not always obvious to homebuyers. \u201cPeople are increasingly moving into urban areas now,\u201d Martin observes, \u201cand modules can be ideal for infills on small city lots\u201d. Although designing manufactured housing for inner cities may present challenges, especially around access to building sites, there is a burgeoning market for high-quality and well-designed modular infill homes. Martin says that in some parts of the world, larger projects that use prefabricated construction methods are still often considered experimental, but that eventually, factory-based construction will be recognized as an excellent choice for largescale buildings such as schools. The Hyperion Lyceum designed by Burton Hamfelt Architect, a grammar school in Amsterdam built entirely of modules, is one successful example. For Martin, the project inspired discussion of the potential for such developments in Canada. The increased accuracy of cost estimates in modular projects is a great advantage for large-scale projects. And with a reduction in delays due to weather and less difficulty scheduling trades, for example, manufactured building can substantially reduce \u201csoft costs\u201d such as interest on financing, permit and inspection fees, and other expenses associated with site-built construction.\nFrom the wilds of Muskoka to the bright lights of New York City, people are choosing factory-built homes for their quality and practicality. And architectural firms like Kohn Shnier are at the leading edge of this revolution in residential construction technology, bringing top-drawer design expertise to a dynamic and evolving industry.",

Paul felt as though all the bad luck and the people that came with it were out to make his day a misery. The car broke down on the way to work, it was then he remembered that his AA cover had not been renewed. The recovery man had charged him seventy-five pounds call out, and a further thirty for the repair, the man had been there no more than five minutes.\\\\\n+ When he did get to work and stepped into his office, he noticed that the decorators had moved his desk about the room, and all his papers had got mixed up. He switched on the computer, and that immediately crashed, sending all his documents into the cyber graveyard.\\\\\n+ He was glad when early morning lunch break came, so that he could get a break in the canteen. He had to have time to pull his fragile mind back together because things about him were getting out of control. At that moment in time he felt as though his world was falling to pieces leaving him in debris from all the disasters. \\\\\n+ Shannon had in another way told him the same thing the previous evening just after sex. Her words had been that the two of them were getting into a rut, and only after just five years of marriage. She had told him in no uncertain terms, \u201cThat they had to find a way to bring back the uncertainty. Their life was getting very repetitive, and was almost like a well read book, things had to change and change fast. Their marriage was as if they had both been chased and caught, so they had both lay down, and let the inevitable monotony take over.\u201d\\\\\n+ Paul knew she was right of course and she had a valid point. The last two years it was work, sex and sleep, and it was only broken by the meals and parties in between. He always felt that he was on a schedule not being able to slip away at any time. Nothing ever changed just like their lives had been choreographed with everything lasting the same length of time every time.\\\\\n+ Paul walked into the canteen, and sat down with a coffee with his normal cheese and tomato roll. He looked at them both on the table, and thought \u2018even my food is repetition every day.\u2019 He didn\u2019t want company, but life is not always as you want it. Tom Davey sat down opposite him, \u201cHello Paul no ones sitting on this seat are they?\u201d\\\\\n+ Paul sarcastically stood up, and bent over the table looking down at the seat, \u201cIf they were, you would have squashed them.\u201d\\\\\n+ \u201cDear o dear, what\u2019s got your back up today?\u201d\\\\\n+ Tom was a bigheaded sod, and always talking about his sexual conquests with the opposite sex. Paul never liked the man as he was always taking the credit for what Paul did. Shannon always told him, that he was too soft and he will get walked over by Tom Davey. The way Paul always put him down Shannon also said that he was jealous of Tom. He always denied it when she told him, but inside he knew she was correct making him upset for thinking that way. \u201cI\u2019ve been thinking about my life that\u2019s on one big straight track with nothing but the horizon in front. It seems as though I\u2019ve got stuck in the rut.\u201d \\\\\n+ \u201cI don\u2019t know your wife Paul but she must be feeling the same way for you to be stabbing yourself in the back. Is she at home all day cooking and stewing as they say, boredom and monotony will make housewives do strange things?\u200b\u201d\\\\\n+ \u201cListen to the man that\u2019s not married, what would you know about what housewives do?\u201d\\\\\n+ \u201cA lot more than you think I know Paul because I have been with more married women than single. I was up in Oxford last night putting some life back into a housewife\u2019s life. Her husband is so obsessed with his business that he is never there to give her the sex and love she needs, so she called me on the phone.\u201d\\\\\n+ \u201cCome off of it Tom that\u2019s going a bit too far, why would she call you? She\u2019s in Oxford and you\u2019re in London. You must have known her for some time, how else would she get your number.\u201d\\\\\n+ \u201cThrough the magazine you idiot, I thought I told you I advertise in a contact mag.\u201d He pulled out a small book, and handed it over to Paul, \u201cPage thirty-six and the second column.\u201d\n+ Paul picked up the book, and went to the page that he had been directed to look at, while this was happening Tom said; \u201cKeep it I don\u2019t need it any more\u201d and stood up. \u201cSee you at dinner\u201d he added, and then walked away from the table. Paul quickly read through the book, and turned to the page that Tom had pointed out. There it was in black and white, for the whole world to see. He put the book away and stood up smiling has he moved away from the table.\\\\\n+ Paul walked back to his office feeling a little better, but the office was still chaotic. It was twelve noon before he got the computer working once more. By the time he walked out of the office for the last time it was all back too normal. On the way home he wondered what to have for a meal? He thought about a carry out Chinese but decided against it.\\\\\n+ Shannon was the same age as he was, twenty-five,\u200b and she looked the same now as she did five years previous. Slim build but with the correct amount of chest pointing out, long raven black hair that trailed down her back. She had nice hips and shapely legs, and she always covered them in tight fitting jeans that only exaggerated her figure. The only exception to her dressing like that; was when they went out to the club, or he took her to dinner at one of their parent\u2019s houses. \\\\\n+ They were madly in love with each other, and also got very jealous when their partner was talking to the opposite sex. She was a horse fanatic, and was out riding every day on one of several horses she owned. She had been left a large farm by an uncle, and they used it for a second home. Most weekends the two of them would go down to the farm as it was out of the way. They both enjoyed the peace at the same time she taught him to ride a horse. They went for pick-nicks on the two- thousand acres surrounding the farm, as she had inherited the land along with the farm and house. They had no need to work because the farm produced enough for them to live on the earnings. There was five hundred acres of forest on the farm, all in one big lump right in the centre. \\\\\n+ It had been a long day, and he was surprised to see Shannon sitting at the table when he walked in. \u201cHello love, you must have got back from the farm early, I hope there isn\u2019t anything wrong.\u201d\\\\\n+ \u201cNo love, I never went today, I had some mail to catch up on and things to do. I have been thinking on what I said last night, but we should talk about that later. How was your day?\u201d\\\\\n+ \u201cI\u2019ve been thinking about that too and I don\u2019t know how we are going to get out of this rut that we are in? You have your horses and friends all day that I might add I have never seen. You talk about them all the time, but if I met them on the street I would pass them by without knowing. The same as you have never seen my friends or work associates. Our life is like a long-playing record and on continues play, the same thing over and over again. The person I hate and despise the most has a better life than we do. His life is a never ending stream of sexual adventures because he is always having sex, but never with the same person.\u201d\\\\\n+ \u201cIs that what you want to start doing, swinging, and having sex with all and sundry?\u200b\u201d\\\\\n+ \u201cNo of course not\u201d he said in a shocked voice, \u201cI was just pointing out to you, as he pointed out to me this morning. He leads an exciting life, and he has no chance of getting stuck in a rut. I know why he gets all these sexual encounters, because he told me today that he is advertised in a contact magazine.\u201d He pulled the magazine out and read the advert out to her.\\\\\n+ \u201cI am a male stud and ready to please you with my ten inches of solid flesh. Are you bored or not getting love or lust, or husband not doing his duty? I am discreet and will travel.\u201d\\\\\n+ I asked him, what if the woman is old or grotesquely fat, or if she was ugly what do you do? Carry on as normal he told me, one night of love will not kill me. We have got to spice up our lives soon, and in some way give back to us the excitement with the thrills of uncertainty,\u200b or this marriage will come to a premature demise.\u201d\\\\\n+ \u201cYou look terrible, have you had a bad day love?\u201d\\\\\n+ \u201cAwful, it started off bad and just kept falling away until I left the office. I\u2019ll go and get a shower while you sort out what we are going to eat if you would please?\u200b\u201d\\\\\n+ It was a good two hours later, and Paul was sprawled along the couch with his head in Shannon\u2019s lap. The film had stopped and Shannon switched the TV off. \u201cIf you did not do your duty Paul, and you were not giving me love for any reason, would you feel cheated if I had a one-night stand? Put your mind at rest, it has not happened, but hypothetically would you.\u201d\\\\\n+ Paul\u2019s heart sank, and then he thought it could never happen, \u201cI would be very badly hurt, but I love you too much to let it spoil things between us. What about you, how would you feel if it were a reversal of roles?\u201d\\\\\n+ \u201cI would feel the same way as you just said, but as you have said on many occasions our love is too deep to be destroyed by a night of lust. One of us has to take charge of the situation with no more rules and no subject is taboo. We have to put the element of surprise and shock into our daily life, the element of suspense and the elements of mystery and imagination. Treat every day as a sexual awakening, not knowing what the other has installed for you to do. To be the domineering and strict or the submissive and passive, but whatever your choice you do it to the full without question.\u201d\\\\\n+ \u201cHave you any idea how all this would take place Shannon, or how you or I would go about it?\u201d\\\\\n+ \u201cSo you are in agreement to what I have just mentioned Paul?\u201d\\\\\n+ \u201cWell sort of, something like this cannot be thought of and agreed upon in one sitting. It would have to be very cleverly thought about making sure that neither of us was hurt in any way. At the end there would still be the two of us, and we would still be married and together. There is no game or activity that is bigger than our love for each other.\u201d\\\\\n+ \u201cYes, that is a positive thought, and one that both of us must keep in mind all the time. I will be home again tomorrow, and I will try and write up some sort of draught that we will both stick to. We can go down to the farm this weekend and have a pick-nick, the weather is supposed to be fine on both days. I should have something sorted by then, and we can go into more detail.\u201d\\\\\n+ Two days had gone past but nothing more had been mentioned on the subject. The two of them were now in Cambridge on the farm. They had arrived on the Friday evening and it had been late, Shannon knocked up a quick meal and they went to bed both of them being tired. When Paul sat up in bed the sun was shining through the window and Shannon was already up. She always got up early to feed and look after the horses, as there were no stable maids on the weekends. He looked at his watch and saw that it was nine-thirty so he reluctantly got out of bed. \\\\\n+ He walked to the window and looked out, taking in the sprawling hills and forest. It was a strange place to put a farm but very secluded, there was not another house within three miles in any direction. The house also probably held the record for the longest drive in England. There were no animals on the farm only crops of vegetables, and acres of wheat and barley, there was not one hedge on the farm. There was however a six-foot wall that ran around the perimeter, and there was only one set of entrance gates which were electric. The foreman had the code, and so too did the five permanent staff. All others had to ring the house to be let in by the switch inside the office. In all the years the two of them had come to the farm at weekends, no one had disturbed their privacy. As Paul looked down into the courtyard, Shannon rode through the gate on a white show jumper. He knew that this horse was her pride and joy. She looked up to the open window and saw him standing there and shouted, \u201cGet down here you lazy bugger.\u201d\\\\\n+ '\u200bI\u2019ll be down in a moment\u201d he shouted back \u201cBut I\u2019m having breakfast first, I\u2019m starving.\u201d\\\\\n+ Shannon shouted back \u201cWell make me some while you\u2019re at it, I will be in soon.\u201d\\\\\n+ Paul dressed and walked down the stairs, and put the frying pan on the gas. Shannon walked through the door just as he was putting it onto plates. \u201cNow that\u2019s what I call good timing, or were you looking through the window watching me, sweating over the hot stove? Working my fingers to the bone just to give my lover the breakfast she deserves\u201d\\\\\n+ Shannon laughed, \u201cLooking at the way you have burnt the sausages once more, you must think I don\u2019t deserve a great deal.\u201d She laughed once more and added, \u201cI have better things to do my love, and than watch you make a hash of frying the breakfast.\u201d\\\\\n+ \u200b\u201cNow that was not very nice and I know you don\u2019t mean it. What are we doing today?\u201d \\\\\n+ \u201cI have got the other two horses ready, and I thought we might go for a ride over to the forest.\u201d\\\\\n+ \u201cIt\u2019s a nice day for a ride, even I have to admit\u201d Paul answered and then asked, \u201cShould we take some food or are we going to live off the land?\u201d\\\\\n+ Shannon was still when she answered his question, \u201cWe are only going for a few hours not a marathon expedition, and we only need a few sandwiches.\u201d\\\\\n+ \u201cHave you ever been in the forest?\u200b\u201d\\\\\n+ \u201cOnly once, and it\u2019s not really a forest inside, it\u2019s quite open, and it is possible to ride a horse through from one side to another. It\u2019s just wood land and shrubbery, but it does need thinning a little, I might get the gamekeepers brothers to thin it out for me. The family have a bad name among the locals, but my foreman told me that they are good hard workers. If they give their word they have never been known to break it. I also have no doubt that they could do with the money I pay them. I have also taken their advice about some of the horses that I could have bought. It was they that tipped me off about White Heron being up for sale, they knew the Bell-Smiths needed the cash. I have it also on good authority that they are very good builders, and I might have need of them.\u201d\\\\\n+ \u201cYou make me laugh calling him the gamekeeper, he keeps it all right, because he takes it home and eats it. It is a known fact that his family the Greens are the biggest rouges in the district, and no one but you have trust in them. He has probably been poaching the game ever since he has been your gamekeeper, and you pay him to do so.\u201d\\\\\n+ \u201cThat might be true Paul, but he has always been respectful to me, and at least while he is my gamekeeper we only have one poacher\u201d and she laughed. \u201cLighten up Paul because you have a bad habit of putting people down, and without really knowing them. He also looks after this house and the property surrounding it while we are back in London. I would rather have a crook on my books, than have a crook running away with my property. His family always helped my uncle do the harvesting and gathering of crops as they do me.\u201d\\\\\n+ \u201cHow come no one comes here the weekends we are here, I always found that very strange?\u200b\u201d\\\\\n+ \u201cBecause after I have entered and get in the house, I change the code to the electric gates, then before we leave I change them back. I also tell the foreman before we come down here, so that he passes it on to the permanent staff. If anyone wants to see me they have to press the buzzer or page me on my phone. We have not got long out there, as Ted Green is coming here to see me this afternoon. I want to tidy up the place, as there is a lot of scrap machinery that needs taking away. I wish to clean this farm up, and turn part of it into a riding school with stables. There is over four hundred acres of fallow land, and that is land not being used at the moment. At the moment we sell all our straw and hay, but we can make more money, if we keep some of it here, and sell it to the people that keep horses and ponies here. I have now got planning permission to build forty brick stables if I need them. I will also be getting a security firm in here, just to look after the horses and tack during the night. I have all ready had sensors put down around the inside of the walls, and another security fence that if cut it will send out an alarm. They cannot be breached without an alarm going off, there are also other safety things but they are secret. The type of people that will be bringing their horses here will expect nothing less. There will also be a cross-country course to equal Hickstead, and an outdoor jumping arena.\u201d\\\\\n+ They finished their breakfast and walked outside to the horses, Shannon had saddled them and they were ready to ride, and that was a good thing because Paul had no idea how to do it. Ten minutes later they were riding away from the farm.\\\\\n+ As they were riding out they passed a large building, it was on their right and Paul was curious. \u201cWhat is that building for Shannon?\u201d \\\\\n+ \u201cA film company built it, and left it there when they went away; it was built for a musical. The whole building is sound proofed; I have no idea yet what I can use it for.\u201d It was a slow ride to the woodland because they stopped on many occasions, so that Shannon could mark down the many pieces of broken farm machinery to be scrapped. Once there, Shannon rode straight into the wood land with Paul following closely behind. It was cool inside and the air was fresh, the sun was filtering through the branches giving plenty of light. There were wild flowers shooting up all over the vacant spaces of ground.\\\\\n+ \u201cSee all those ash saplings and the hazel too, well they have to be cut out and thinned down. The smaller shrubs will have to be thinned out, as they are suffocating the large ones. Most the windblown and felled trees must be taken out of the wood, and I have an idea for them. I also have an idea on the games that can be played here.\u201d She then glanced at her watch and said, \u201cGood grief, look at the time, this has taken longer than I thought. We haven\u2019t time to eat sandwiches, as we have to get back to the house. By the way, Simon, one of the people at the stables where I keep my other horses, will be here tonight, don\u2019t worry about the way he talks only he is gay\u201d. She turned her horse and rode out of the wood, and into the open field. \u201cAre you ready for a gallop Paul?\u201d\\\\\n+ \u201cNo you go ahead\u201d he answered \u201cI will slowly make my way back eating the food.\u201d\\\\\n+ \u201cSee you back at the house and she galloped off.\u201d\\\\\n+ He rode through the courtyard gates just as Ted Green was getting out of his truck. As Paul walked his horse into its stable, he heard Ted Green say \u201cGood day to you Miss Shannon. I received a message that you wished to see me, is there something wrong with the game? All the pheasant pens are full, and there are some lovely trout in the stream ready to eat if you need any.\u201d\\\\\n+ \u201cNo Mr Green we are fine and there is nothing wrong with the game.\u201d \\\\\n+ \u201cHe looked at Paul as he came and stood next to Shannon, good day to you sir.\u201d\\\\\n+ \u201cYes, good day to you Mr Green.\u201d\\\\\n+ Shannon started to tell Ted what she wanted, and showed him the map where the scrap to take away was. Paul was looking at the man, thinking \u2018he was not the best looking bloke he had seen, but there was something about him.\u2019 Paul looked at the man\u2019s chest were his shirt buttons were undone, and the man had masses of black curly hair. He was well built, and was the wrong side of forty with a dark complexion. It was however the way he was looking at Shannon that caught Paul\u2019s attention, he thought he could see lust in his eyes.\\\\\n+ \u201cIf you want to go inside Paul, I will just take Mr Green and show him the things in the barn that want taking away.\u201d Paul walked off glad to be away from the man, and as he was walking towards the house, he heard Shannon say \u201cIf you will go around to the barn, I will just put my horse away.\u201d \\\\\n+ Mr Green shouted \u201cAndy, Tim, come with me\u201d and Paul turned to see two strapping men of about twenty two step from the truck. They must have been his sons by the way they were talking to Mr Green.\\\\\n+ Ten minutes later Shannon was walking around to the barn, when she heard them talking. \u201cWell I\u2019ll tell you pop, I would give her a portion\u201d \u201cSo would I\u201d the other one chimed in \u201cJust part the hair and open those lips.\u201d Shannon felt a little twinge between her legs; she had never heard anyone speak this course about her before. She knew what they were both talking about, and it was making her feel strange. She then made out to cough, and walked heavy so there was no mistaking her whereabouts.\\\\\n+ As she walked around the corner she spoke, \u201cSorry to keep you waiting. All the machinery is to be taken from this barn, and I want it empty by the weekend coming.\u201d\\\\\n+ \u201cWhat do you want us to do with it Miss Shannon?\u200b\u201d\\\\\n+ \u201cWhatever you want; sell it or scrap it, as I am giving it to you to do with as you please. I have enough work for you all after that for a long time to come if you want it.\u201d \\\\\n+ \u201cThank you Miss Shannon we would love to put your farm in order for you.\u201d \\\\\n+ \u201cRight then, I will tell the foreman that you will be here on Monday.\u201d They all walked back to the courtyard, and Ted\u2019s two sons went back to the truck. \\\\\n+ \u201cMr Green, I know that you take game home to eat, and I expect you to do so. I also expect you to keep an eye out for people that might think there are rich pickings in the house. I know your family have a bad name in the village but it does not bother me. You have always looked after my uncle and me up until now. I trust you to keep your family in order while on this farm, if you can do that there is work here as long as your family needs it. I am turning some of the farm into a riding school which means I need to buy ponies, can I rely on your help?\u201d\\\\\n+ \u201cOf course you can Miss Shannon, and about the other things you spoke about, your property is as safe from intruders as my own is.\\\\\n+ \u201cThen that is all, if I think of anything more I will let you know, so I wish you a good evening.\u201d\\\\\n+ \u201cThe same to you Miss Shannon\u201d and he turned and walked over to the truck. She watched them pull out of the courtyard, and she went over to the house and stepped inside.\\\\\n+ Paul looked up from the table where he was sitting and said \u201cI heard what you said to him. Do you think you can trust him Shannon?\u200b\u201d\\\\\n+ \u201cYes their family has always helped my family without any trouble, so ok they take home some of the vegetables that we grow, and some of the game. Compared to what we make in the markets, its just pennies. They have too much too lose by messing me about and they know it. The foreman half trusts them, they know that I know what they do and respect me for letting them do it.\u201d\\\\\n+ The buzzer sounded and Shannon went to the intercom, \u201cYes how can I help?\u201d\n+ \u201cCan you let us out Miss Shannon?\u200b\u201d\\\\\n+ \u201cYes of course Mr Green, I forgot you were on your way out.\u201d She switched off the intercom and pressed a button, once they were outside the gates automatically closed.\\\\\n+ \u201cWhat are we eating Shannon?\u200b\u201d\\\\\n+ \u201cSimon will be here shortly, and he is bringing with him an Indian take away. I am going up to change while you drink your tea.\u201d\n+ It was an hour later when Simon arrived with the food, Paul was not to sure about his intentions, and so he didn\u2019t get to close. He was there for a reason and only he and Shannon knew what it was. The food over with, they all sat down and talked for a while, and sipped their drinks at the same time. Paul was half way through the Jack Daniels, when he fell over on his way back from the toilet. Simon and Shannon helped him upstairs, and undressed him ready for bed. Simon stripped off while Shannon got the camera. Then Simon held Paul by the waist as if he was bent over the bed, then Simon got close to him as if they were making love. Shannon snapped two or three photos, and some looking as though Simon was pulling out, and also looking shocked as if he had just been caught in the act. They then put Paul to bed and walked down stairs, \u201cThanks Simon you are a diamond. You don\u2019t know how handy these photos are going to be, when I show them to him he will be bloody furious.\u201d \\\\\n+ \u201cIt\u2019s a good job I am working in New York for the next four years then.\u201d Simon kissed her on the cheek and added, \u201cI must be off.\u201d\\\\\n+ \u201cThanks again Simon, push the buzzer at the gate and I\u2019ll let you out.\u201d Simon then walked out of the house, and Shannon heard his car start and pull away. Moments later the buzzer went, and Shannon pressed the button to open the gates. Taking hold of the other half bottle of Jack Daniels, she stepped over and poured it down the sink, she turned the tap on for a while to get rid if the smell. She then walked over to the computer and downloaded the photos off the camera; afterwards she stood up and smiled, then walked up the stairs to bed. \\\\",

Back then, the event was successfully organised in the city of Brno.\nThe venue for the championships will be \u201cSport Hall Sterboholy\u201d, a venue which has hosted international floorball and tennis events before, as well as national badminton championships.\nSince 2009, the European U17 Championships has been played over 9 days - first with a team event, followed by the individual events. Historical results can be seen here - amongst other winners, you can find Olympic medallists Carolina Marin and Viktor Axelsen, who were the first individual winners back in 2009 in Medvode, Slovenia.\nThe European U17 Championships has its own page on Badminton Europe's website - click here to find more information, and to see streaming highlight from the 2016-edition.",

One-time Shola was 10 minutes late, he began to scream and after he was done he started crying then started mumbling \u201cI want you to be healthy\u201d repeatedly\nShola got to the dining room to find the table all set with rice and stew and a cup of milk beside her plate. She took her sit with was directly opposite Mr Eze who was eating the same thing but instead of milk he had a cup of water beside his plate. Both parties devoured their food without saying a word.\nAfter the food Mr Eze took a sip from his cup and just as Shola was about to leave for her room, Mr Eze called out to her \u201cAmaka! Come sit with me\u201d Shola had already accepted it even though she hated it, she hated the fact that she was been called another girl\u2019s name and from her recent realisation It was a dead girl\u2019s name\nShola took her sit and stared at Mr Eze wondering why he wanted her to sit with him, what exactly was on his mind, what did he want to talk about?\n\u201cI\u2019m sorry, Amaka I.m sorry\u201d\nShola couldn\u2019t believe her ears, what was happening this time, the past weeks Mr Eze has been showing symptoms of crazy but this was different, this was new, and she had no idea how to respond to this.\n\u201cAmaka I said am sorry\u201d Mr Eze repeated\n\u201cokay sir\u201d Shola replied as she faced the ground\n\u201cI\u2019m going to make things right with us, I know it doesn\u2019t seem like this but we going to be a family again\u201d\n\u201cyes sir\u201d shola replied still confused about what was going on\nIn that moment the door broke down, people with police uniforms, heavily armed came rushing in, they were pandemonium everywhere and for some few seconds Shola froze not fully grasping what was going on, all she could see were the police screaming hands up, and one of them pinning Mr Eze to the ground. One them carried her outside and that\u2019s when it all came to her when she saw her grandma standing in front of the house with some fellow church and her parents chanting prayers, her grandma had received her message and went to get help from the police, but what was more shocking was the fact that her parents where here, it seems like grandma had told them about everything, shola felt good in away because she could see the look of terror on her parents face, she haven\u2019t seen them terrified because, it felt good to be loved .\nGrandma let out a great cry has she sighted Shola who was just standing in front of them with tears in her eyes, she immediately rushed to her wrapped her in arm and soaked her in tears, she then broke the embrace and began to do a thorough check of Shola, trying to figure out if she was hurt, or if she looked malnourished, immediately shola\u2019s mother joined them who had tears in her eyes also\n\u201cmy baby, are you okay\u201d Shola\u2019s mother said as she embraced her only daughter, she embraced her daughter so hard, it looked like she was going to crush her ribs\n\u201cI\u2019m fine mommy\u201d\nShola looked up and for the first time in her life she saw her father in tears, this was very surprising because for some reasons she got it into her head that her father couldn\u2019t cry that he didn\u2019t know how to, she had seen him when his mother died, she had seen him when he broke his arm, and when he was stabbed by her mother and not once in those period did a tear come his eyes, but here he was his face soaked in tears, and couldn\u2019t get a word out, all he did was just to old his family\n\u201coshey o Jesu\u201d Grandma screamed out loud as she began to roll on the ground\nShola immediately dropped his family has he saw Mr Eze being brought out of the house, he rushed towards him, giving him a punch that sent him to the ground, now both men were on the ground, struggling in the sand, till the police came to separate them\n\u201cI will destroy you!!!\u201d Shola\u2019s Dad screamed at Mr Eze\n\u201cShe is mine!!\u201d Mr Eze screamed back at him \u201cAmaka I love you\u201d he screamed as he was trying to get a glimpse of Shola has he was being pushed into the police van.\n*****************CHAPTER 11*********************\nIts bee a month since her rescue and her parents and grandmother couldn\u2019t seem to get their eyes off her, ever since she was brought home she has been sleeping in the same room with her mother and grandmother, she has been in and out of the hospital doing series of check-up trying to be sure there wasn\u2019t anything wrong with her, she has narrated the story of her kidnap over a hundred times. Shola what exactly might be happening to Mr Eze right now, in some strange way she felt pity for him, he didn\u2019t seem like he meant her any harm, she overheard from her parents that he was transferred to a psychiatric hospital, that has been devastated by the death his wife and child, and when he saw the resemblance between Shola and Amaka, his mind convinced him that they were the same person.\nShola was feeling choked up by her own parents, they were spoiling her with gifts, giving things she needed and didn\u2019t need, it seemed like they were feeling guilty about everything she went through. Shola needed to get out of the house to be away from her family even though they all mean well but their affection was becoming too much, she hasn\u2019t been in school for since her kidnap and she was scared she was going to repeat, she didn\u2019t want to repeat the same class, repeating was her greatest nightmare, her mates were going to be her senior and she was going to be the creepy old person in her new class, and she didn\u2019t want to go back to the same school, she wanted to change school.\n\u201cwhy are you so selfish!!\u201d Shola\u2019s father screamed\n\u201cwhat do you mean am selfish?! Everything am doing is for this family!\u201d her mother shot back at her father, this was the normal routine for her parents whenever they are in the same place, the thing is what were they fighting about this time?\n\u201cwhat do you mean for this family?!\u201d her father said as it looked like the veins on his head were about to pop out \u201cyour daughter was kidnapped!!\u201d\n\u201care you seriously blaming me for that?!\u201d shola\u2019s mother replied has tears began to fill her eyes\n\u201cyes if you have been here to take care of your daughter like a good mother would all this wouldn\u2019t have happened!\u201d\n\u201cyou\u2019re evil for saying that to me, you\u2019re an evil man!!!\u201d\n\u201cI\u2019m the one that is evil??!! It\u2019s you that want to leave her again!!\u201d\n\u201cit\u2019s my job!!\u201d\n\u201coh! So your job is more important than your own daughter?!\u201d\n\u201cno, am taking her with me\u201d\n\u201cwhat?! Over my dead body, will you take away my child\u201d\n\u201cso now she is your child, when I was leaving the first time, you said you couldn\u2019t take care of her cos of your job, she wasn\u2019t your child then right?\u201d\n\u201cyou\u2019re are not taking my daughter\u201d shola\u2019s father walked up to shola \u201ccome on let\u2019s leave this place\u201d he said as he picked her up\n\u201cleave my daughter alone!!!\u201d shola\u2019s mother screamed has she rushed to pull her daughter away, both parents began to struggle with the little girl, shola was in so much pain that she began to scream. Then her mother began to punch her father trying to get him to her but her father\u2019s grip was so strong it felt as if he was going to break her, her father then decided to retaliate, giving her mother a hot slap which sent her to the ground. Shola\u2019s mother immediately came back to her feet screaming\n\u201cyou, useless man, give me my child!!\u201d she said as she started trying to drag Shola away from him and all this was going on shola was wondering where her grandmother was, hoping she would come save her as she always does.\nAs the struggle continued Shola\u2019s mother went ahead to bite Shola\u2019s father which lead him to lose his grip and left shola falling to the ground elbow first, Shola screamed out in pain and the thing that hurt her most was that her parents were busy punching each other to notice her on the ground, she held in her screams as tears rolled down her eyes as she watched her parents battle like animals\n\u201cget out!!!

This real life story is epitome of Love and sacrifice between Rajput Queen Padmavati and Rana Rawal Ratan Singh, the Rajput ruler of Mewar. Their perfect life took unfortunate turn when Allauddin Khilji's lustful eyes gazed upon Queen Padmavati. Alauddin Khilji is known as one of the most brutal rulers of the Khilji dynasty, who ascended the throne by killing his father-in-law, his brother-in-laws and their uncles. He was known for attacking states, only for their land and women. And, the motive behind the attack on Mewar was none other than royal Rani Padmavati. Chittorgarh fort, today, stands as an epitome of the true Rajputana spirit, loyalty, fidelity and bravery and a symbol of women power.\nTitle: Padmaavat (2018 ) \u2013 Khalibali \u2013 Full Video Song \u2013 1080p \u2013 WEBRip \ufffd...\nNote: I have removed the adds on bottom of the Song.\nSource..........: Untouched WEB-HD @ Madhu\nRipper..........: Madhu\nRelease Year..........: 2018\nContainer..........: MKV\nFile size..........: 93.1 MB\nRuntime..........: 3min 24sec\nSubtitles..........: Nope\nCodec ID..........: V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC\nWidth..........: 1920 pixels\nHeight..........: 800 pixels\nDisplay aspect ratio..........: 2.40:1\nAudio Language..........: Hindi\n-=TrackList-=\n*****Thumbnails pleas click on image for full size few*****\nInfo Hash: e47facdebfc960dccc874c215ca1a777a3f1a3a9\nAdded By: Madhu\nPadmaavat (2018 ) \u2013 Khalibali \u2013 1080p \u2013 WEBRip \u2013 x264 \u2013 AAC \u2013 Madhu.mkv 93 MB\nSHADNAN\nNice Upload.....",

        "raw_content": "\u201cYou can\u2019t win alone, but you can practice alone.\u201d You may or may not follow Football (the real name, but we call it \u201cSoccer\u201d), but the picture above is of Lionel Messi, arguably the greatest player alive and \u2013 many believe \u2013 the best to ever play the game. When Leo was a little boy, he was smaller than most kids and youth his age. But he was fast. Very fast. And he had a natural talent with the ball at his feet. He couldn\u2019t play as physically as the bigger kids, but he did learn how to use his diminutive size to his advantage. He has built up some impressive stats: By the age of 21, Messi had received a FIFA World Player of the Year nomination. The following year, in 2009, he won it. He has won FIFA World Player of the Year the last four years in a row. He also won the 2010\u201311 UEFA Best Player in Europe Award. At the age of 24, Messi became Barcelona\u2019s (his club team) all-time top scorer in all official club competitions. At age 25, Messi became the youngest player to score 200 goals in the world\u2019s toughest league \u2013 La Liga. Messi has won five La Ligas, two Copas del Rey, five Supercopas de Espa\u00f1a, three UEFA Champions Leagues, two Super Cups and two Club World Cups. In 2012, Messi made Champions League history by becoming the first player to score five goals in one match. He also matched Jos\u00e9 Altafini\u2019s record of 14 goals in a single Champions League season. Messi became the first player to top-score in four successive...\nThe most common question I\u2019m asked by my friends Bob Hamp and Alan Smith is one of their favorites: \u201cBut what if it\u2019s not?\u201d (NOTE: They\u2019ve both authored books I HIGHLY recommend, so click on those links). If you\u2019ve known me, even casually, you\u2019ve probably realized I\u2019m a fairly passionate guy; I tell it like I see it because I\u2019ve typically given something a good deal of thought before I jump in with my perspective. And just like every other oxygen-sucking human, sometimes my thinking is mis-aligned with God\u2019s thinking on a subject. Hence, the question \u201cbut what if it\u2019s not?\u201d, applied to any number of conversations, has confronted my assumptions and even some core beliefs over the years. One of my most fundamental beliefs was \u201cFollow your passion and the money will follow.\u201d But what it it\u2019s not true? REDEFINING PASSION I used to believe the fire in my belly was, in fact, my passion. I could almost see the flames of personal pursuit of my passions licking at my heart, igniting within me a burning desire that I didn\u2019t merely want, but actually believed! \u201cPassionate people lead where others will not follow,\u201d I\u2019d declare. \u201cPassion is the fuel of life, the very essence of willpower, distilled into a substance we can almost bottle and share with others!\u201d But what if it wasn\u2019t? Passions, I\u2019ve learned over my lifetime thus far, actually change. What I was passionate about in my youth changed to more substantive (and realistic) matters in my young adulthood. Those, too, while still very real to me, waned and led to new fields of passion growth,...\nA Hypothetical Election Delay\nAs the monster Hurricane Sandy brings high winds, rain and flooding to many parts of the Northeast USA, the possibility for the election to be delayed for those unable to vote in their precincts is likely. But what I see is a potential monster of an issue is how the delay could have both Democrats and Republicans crying \u201cnot fair\u201d due to the so-called \u201csafe harbor deadline\u201d (six days before the Electoral College votes (deadline of December 17th). I\u2019m not a political expert, but this has some crazy potentials. In no particular order, but off of the top of my head are the following scenarios: States unaffected by natural disaster will have their votes deadline by November 6th, as expected. However, the results of these states could be showing a favored candidate without all of the states able to vote (those affected by natural disaster). The result? An extra MONTH of stumping by the candidates, using the numbers to their advantage (either way). The \u201csafe harbor deadline\u201d is decided by each state, so it\u2019s possible that there could be any number of states choosing varying new deadlines (up to December 17th). The election deadline per state could be different enough that the candidates use the pre-counted numbers as the states turn in their votes to their advantage (either way). With relaxed identification standards, it\u2019s possible that people could cast more than one ballot (a concern already for some) through the nearly impossible coordination of voting precincts not voting on the same day. It is not unlikely that the losing candidate (to date based on votes tabulated by November 6th)...\nGod is speaking clearly. Or perhaps I\u2019m listening more attentively. Either way, I\u2019ve been pummeled by His love, admonished with His gentleness and encouraged with His kindness. He\u2019s teaching and reminding me that everything is His. \u201cWhen I think that something is mine, the only person I\u2019m fooling is myself.\u201d If there\u2019s really nothing new under the sun, then thinking that I came up with the idea is flatly absurd. God is the owner of everything and that would include new ideas (at least new to me). Therefore, rather than assume I somehow deserve to take the lead for every idea I come up with, I should first acknowledge that if I had an idea, God gave it to me. I then need to ask him what He wants me to do with it, not try and figure things out on my own. \u201cIf I don\u2019t stop to ask God if he wants me to do something, why should I be surprised when things don\u2019t work out the way I planned?\u201d It\u2019s very easy for me to make a decision on my own. After all, I have experience to know how to work through situations and make snap-decisions. The problem with snap-decisions is that, unless they\u2019re directed by God, I risk making the wrong decision. If I really want to live a God-centered \u2013 a God-chaser \u2013 life, then my will should be His will. The best way to know His will is to pray about everything. \u201cCould it be your arrogance that makes you think God owes you an explanation?\u201d (from Francis Chan) The short answer is: \u201cYes\u201d....\nTrust equity is perhaps the most difficult thing to earn from people. It can take years to build this equity up and it can take mere moments to wipe it all away. Though I\u2019m not living in condemnation, I have been reminded of times when I\u2019ve dropped the ball and failed to follow through. These painful moments are stark reminders of the importance consistently earning trust. They\u2019re also times when it\u2019s so encouraging to have friends that will love you in spite of what you do, not because of what you do. The kind of friends that will go to the mattresses with you (Godfather reference) are those that will be there with you when you\u2019re wrong \u2013 and tell you so without leaving your side. I count these friends \u2013 covenant friendships \u2013 as invaluable. We all go up and down, we all make mistakes and we all grow from those mistakes. These are the same friends that will also be with you on the highest points of your life to celebrate with you. Jesus said it best in John chapter 15, verses 12-13: My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. If you\u2019re one of my friends that I\u2019ve dropped the ball with, or someone I\u2019ve lost trust equity with at some place or time, then I want to tell you that I\u2019m sorry. And I want to ask for your forgiveness. I don\u2019t want to go through life with someone having anything to hold against me....\nTough Economy? Go Wander in the Desert\n\u201cIt\u2019s time to tighten things up.\u201d \u201cShow me a new budget with only the needs, not the wants.\u201d \u201cHow can we save money on technology this year?\u201d If I were to poll, I wonder how many of you working in churches have been hearing questions and statements like the ones above? Based on emails I\u2019ve received and countless blog posts I\u2019ve read, the common theme is a reduction in expenses across most church ministries. Yet I\u2019m also hearing and seeing church leaders requiring budget reductions without the required reduction in expectations to match the new, lower budgets. \u201cIt\u2019s the economy, stupid\u201d are now famous words by James Carville, the former campaign manager for the Clinton administration. So much of the American psyche is built upon such phrases as consumer confidence and market fluctuations. We\u2019re conditioned to think along the bull or bear market concepts and act accordingly. While I\u2019m all for being responsible and conservative as a general rule of thumb, I also can\u2019t stop reading story after story and truth after truth in God\u2019s Word how He is Jehovah-jireh, or \u201cGod the provider\u201d. Possibly my favorite lesson in God\u2019s total provision was in taking care of the entire nation of Israel as they wandered the desert. According to the Quartermaster General of the U.S. Army, it is reported that Moses would have to have had 1,500 tons of food each day (which is 3,000,000 lbs!). To bring that much food each day would require two freight trains: each a mile long \u2013 which is a lot of donkeys back in that day. So God provided Manna in the...",

        "raw_content": "I love submarine movies, and I can\u2019t figure out why they\u2019re so rare. They\u2019re inherently claustrophobic, you don\u2019t need many sets, there\u2019s fantastic use of sound and silence, actors have room to deliver terrific performances, and if the sub is equipped with a nuclear warhead, then the stakes can\u2019t be higher. What\u2019s not to like? Submarines also have a great sense of mystery since there\u2019s no way to see what\u2019s outside once the ship is submerged. Writer-director Todd Robinson tries to tap into that mystery in his new film, Phantom, but he stumbles over his clumsy attempts to hide his characters\u2019 pasts and motives. Thankfully, removed from the mystery, Phantom is a tense submarine picture featuring strong performances, and an understanding of the genre\u2019s dramatic assets.\nThe film opens by telling us that while the Cuban Missile Crisis may have brought us within feet of global nuclear war, the story we\u2019re about to see \u201cbrought us within inches.\u201d Set in May 1968, a Soviet diesel submarine is tasked with carrying out a secret scientific mission. Captain Demi (Ed Harris) is close to retirement, but is assigned to command his old vessel. With his trusted first officer Alex (William Fichtner) and crew at his side, Demi follows the mission but senses the ominous intentions of the special project\u2019s leader, Bruni (David Duchovny). Once they\u2019re away at sea, the revelation about the project\u2019s true intent raises serious moral issues for the captain, and causes him to come into direct conflict with Bruni.\nRobinson\u2019s attempt to couch Demi\u2019s story in mystery isn\u2019t a bad idea, but the filmmaker never can seem to figure out an effective way to make the mystery intriguing or particularly shocking. Before we even really get to know Demi, we\u2019re already hearing references to a disastrous mission in his past and retaliation on the part of his superiors. From there, we see poorly-shot, horror-style flashbacks that hint at what went wrong before dry exposition finally tells us Demi\u2019s dark secrets. There\u2019s nothing wrong with having a mysterious protagonist, but Robinson struggles to execute the set-up and the pay-off.\nBut removed from weaving Demi\u2019s back story, Phantom is a taut thriller. It\u2019s got everything you could want from a solid submarine flick: the cat-and-mouse game between submarines, inner turmoil onboard, loyalties divided, and people saying stuff like \u201c50 degrees down bubble!\u201d* The story is further helped by the commanding performances from Harris as the tired but canny captain, and from Fincher as his devoted first officer who must decide if he\u2019s willing to get his own command at the cost of selling out his friend. By establishing effective characters, Robinson is able to further branch out and look at the larger issues stemming from the nature of war.\nPhantom is a movie that never could have been made during the Cold War just as Das Boot couldn\u2019t have been made during World War II. During wartime, popular entertainment has almost no room for compassion, but these movies do a wonderful job of humanizing our foes by putting them in circumstances that reveal them as people rather than just \u201cthe enemy\u201d. When Das Boot ends, you\u2019re hit with the realization, \u201cOh, shit. I was rooting for Nazis the whole time.\u201d Phantom doesn\u2019t land pack as much of a punch, but it still taps into the overall sentiment that these kinds of movies can provide.\nI may simply have a soft spot for a film like Phantom. Robinson understands the genre, and I admire his attempt to push it further even thought the mystery aspect doesn\u2019t pan out. When a film like Phantom comes along and it\u2019s done right, it\u2019s another reminder of how much the submarine film has to offer. Filmmakers, studios, and most importantly, audiences, should embrace what can be an easily exciting and surprisingly thoughtful time at the movies.\n*I\u2019m waiting for a submarine sailor to show up in the comments and tell me that 50 degrees down bubble is impossible. I would reply that I don\u2019t even know what \u201cdown bubble\u201d means, but I love the term.\nJACK THE GIANT SLAYER Review\nFirst Trailer for Action Thriller ERASED Starring Aaron Eckhart and Olga Kurylenko\n\u2022 David Duchovny \u2022 Ed Harris \u2022 Entertainment \u2022 Movie \u2022 Phantom \u2022 Review \u2022 Todd Robinson \u2022 William Fichtner",

February 1, 2015\nShellHawk replied to ShellHawk's topic in Business, Marketing, and Accounting\nI called up my friend who's a bookkeeper, and she's coming over this week to set it up and train me. I'm looking forward to having this taken care of! Thanks for the input, everyone!\nShellHawk posted a topic in Business, Marketing, and Accounting\nNow that it's 2015, it's time to upgrade my way of doing business. I remember reading in one of the CAMs, one of the artists featured had found an accounting program which was more arts/crafts/art fair friendly than QuickBooks. Does anyone happen to know which one that was? I am truly tired of how intuitive QuickBooks is *not*! Dammit, Jim! I'm an artist, not an accountant! Thanks for the input.\nWhat's Your Choice Of Torch?\nShellHawk replied to ShellHawk's topic in Clay and Glaze Chemistry\nOh, and? This might make a nice article in the future. Just sayin'!\nusing torches for drying\nThanks, guys! I was thinking of the instant-on type. They looked to be relatively easy to use.\nShellHawk posted a topic in Clay and Glaze Chemistry\nI've decided it's time for me to get a torch for speed-drying during throwing. My heat gun is great for some things, but I think it's time for an upgrade. Any recommendations for torches? Pros and cons you've discovered? Thanks for your input! Shell\nWhat Kind Of Kiln Shelves To Use?\nShellHawk replied to ShellHawk's topic in Studio Operations and Making Work\nMe, too. But with age, it's not getting any better!\nShellHawk reacted to a post in a topic: What Kind Of Kiln Shelves To Use? February 5, 2014\nAs for those Advancers....drool....I would personally just stick with regular alumina shelves until you are ready for another big investment, since you're looking at investing in a kiln now. Lol! It's funny how some folks drool over cars and jewelry and whatnot, and we drool over kilns and studio space! HA!\nHas anyone got the Bailey electric kiln? I'm looking at the 2327-10, just out of curiosity. http://www.baileypottery.com/kilns/baileyelec2327-10.htm I'm wondering what people's experiences are with this kiln. Are the elements easy to change? Pros and cons are appreciated. Thanks!\nThanks for the info! I'll look into this!\nI have to say that when I saw a price of $237 for one shelf, I about had a heart attack! http://www.continentalclay.com/detail.php?cat_id=195&sub_categoryID=43&PID=895. (Plus I'd have to find not-rectangular shelves for the kiln I can fit into my garage...) I don't make enough sales at this moment to make that pay for me. They will most definitely be something for which I'll start saving, because I no longer have the back of a 20-year-old, myself! Thanks!\nDid he get that service from L&L, or from the distributor? I'm sorry if he was treated that way by L&L. They strive to have great customer service. What sort of problems did he have with the kiln? I believe he got that service from L & L , in fact I sent him an email after this conversation started up to confirm and he said \"they have terrible customer service.\" I know he contacted them several times to get everything straightened out, so I assume he spoke with several different people. I honestly couldn't tell you what was wrong with the kiln. It happened before I was a student and if I asked what had happened with it, I can't recall what he said! What he did say after my email is that they weren't built well. I know he had one of the square ones, but couldn't tell you more than that. And it's very possible that it was just bad luck with this one, individual kiln. That does happen!\nShellHawk reacted to a post in a topic: What Kind Of Kiln Shelves To Use? January 2, 2014\nIf money and space weren't a factor (let's go, lottery!) I would get a Bailey front loader. No lotto money as of yet, though! I was also thinking of the Skutt because of the KilnLink app you can get for the iPhone to check on your firing if you're away from home. I'm somewhat surprised to hear the consensus on their kilns, though.\nThree phase is flat out not an option, and I'm just a regular person who owns her own home. I have to stick with single phase, which is obviously going to come into play during firings. I need to re-check my amperage because I just can't recall off the top of my head, and neither can hubby. I am lucky in that I recently got a job as an admin in a construction company, so get the \"friend\" discount on electrical, but obviously that depends on what kind of upgrade I'm talking about. I'll check on amperage and re-post. And thanks for all the input. These are things I need to take into consideration!\nThere is no issue to this business than the lawyers talking. IF someone did this...... they COULD get electrocuted. Yes. It is like the warnings on the plastic bags that tell you not to place them over your head, and the stuff on McDonalds coffee cups that explain that the coffee is hot. Yes... there could be an issue. It likely woyuld be experienced by one of the Darwin Award contendees. best, ........................john Wait, wait, wait! You mean you can't put plastic bags over your head?! Wow! I wish I'd signed up for these forums sooner! LOL\nHad he been the kind of guy who would say, \"Don't you know who I am?\" Trust me, the person he's dealing with at any kiln manufacturer almost certainly didn't know who he is, even if he had spelled his name correctly and cited his exhibits and journal articles. Art appreciation is a very high level of expectation for somebody employed in a minimum-wage job. It would be like chef Alice Waters hoping to be recognized at a McDonalds. I think his issue was with the attitude, not ignorance. Several different people (if I remember right, which I may not be!) had a solid attitude of \"I don't care.\" I have a hobby-level Cress and I like it. It's been a little workhorse! It's just time for a \"grownup\" kiln, and one that I can fit into my space and not have to upgrade my electrical. (I've been quoted $5000.00 to run another line out to the garage, and then they don't call me back because the job is too small , so I need to stick with my current 220 [get it? current? LOL]) I'll look into the L & L some more. I haven't had the experience of elements popping out of place, so that's a \"fun fact\" to take into consideration! I'll do some research on the Advancers, too, just out of curiosity.",

        "raw_content": "Two hotly contested races highlight this fall\u2019s Concord City Council elections, making the choices dramatic \u2013 thanks to the arrival of district elections.\nIn District 1, current City Council members Laura Hoffmeister and Ron Leone square off against each other and political newcomer Judith Herman. In District 3, Planning Commission chair Dominic Aliano is facing Bike Concord enthusiast Kenji Yamada in the newly formed Monument area district.\nTim McGallian is running unopposed for the District 5 slot. He was appointed to the council two years ago when Tim Grayson was elected to the State Assembly.\nCity treasurer Patti Barsotti is also running unopposed for a four-year term.\nFocusing on downtown\nLeone, who ran unsuccessfully for county Superintendent of Schools in June, had said publicly that he was not going to run. But he then said candidly: \u201cI changed my mind.\u201d\nHe says there is too much \u201cunfinished business\u201d in front of the council that he is involved in, and he wants to help move it along.\n\u201cIt\u2019s unfortunate that with districts I have to run against another council member, but someone has to win and someone has to lose,\u201d he says.\nOne of his major goals has been the revitalization of the downtown around Todos Santos Plaza, especially making sure it retains an early California flavor. He was instrumental in obtaining the statue of Don Salvio Pacheco that stands at the southeast entrance to the plaza.\nBut his work reflects more than that. He and former Councilman Tim Grayson \u201cconvened committees to ensure that the look in and around downtown was inviting, walkable and convenient to transit users. Now I see building going up that does not reflect our vision,\u201d he says. \u201cI want to make sure that doesn\u2019t happen.\u201d\nHe also is interested in a new soccer stadium/hotel complex that Mark Hall is proposing near the downtown BART station. \u201cThat will change the flavor of downtown,\u201d Leone says. \u201cI want to make sure that happens right.\u201d\nA political powerhouse and a newcomer\nHoffmeister\u2019s 20 years on the council have made her an unofficial encyclopedia of the city\u2019s issues. She doesn\u2019t believe the change to district elections will impact her campaign.\n\u201cFor me, districts allow the elected representative to focus a bit more in a geographic area,\u201d she says. \u201cI grew up and went to elementary and middle schools here and graduated from Concord High School. I have lived in the district over 50 years, so I know the area very well and many of its residents and businesses. The residents know they have a person that is from their area that they can connect with.\u201d\nHerman is well aware of the battle she has by facing two sitting council members. \u201cIt is indeed a challenge,\u201d she says. \u201cMoving from citywide elections to a district election gives me the opportunity to run a grassroots campaign, without corporate donations. Voters are going to see that as a plus. I am going to have a chance to meet many district voters, my neighbors.\u201d\nShe says she is well-qualified to represent the district, which includes the area between Willow Pass and Bailey roads, down to Clayton Road.\n\u201cI have canvassed for better jobs, affordable housing and open space in the Concord Naval Weapons Station. I walked precincts for candidates I believe in,\u201d she says. \u201cI was president of the Pine Hollow Middle School PTA. When I first moved to Concord, I served on the Status of Women Committee.\u201d\nHerman has lived in Concord for 28 years, raising her children here. \u201cMy list of activities is less important than my commitment to doing what is best for all of Concord\u2019s residents, especially those from District 1,\u201d she notes.\nDistrict vs. city needs\nThe Pioneer asked the three District 1 candidates how they would meet the needs of their area if they differ from the needs of the city.\n\u201cDistrict residents travel to or through other districts and there are issues in other areas that they may be concerned about, and likely vice versa,\u201d Hoffmeister says.\nBut she says ultimately all residents must learn to work together. \u201cDistricts are small sections of Concord. However, we need all the parts working well together to be a whole complete community \u2013 a \u2018one Concord.\u2019 \u201d\nLeone said he would do the same sort of planning for District 1 as he did for the city as a whole. \u201cIt was with my leadership on the council that helped our city\u2019s historic downtown district become more vibrant, with the arches, Don Salvio Pacheco statue, early Californian architecture, more restaurants, more walkable and bike friendly.\u201d\nHerman says her job would be to represent the interests of District 1 at the council level. \u201cBut, decisions made by the City Council must include the needs of all the residents of Concord,\u201d she says. \u201cWhen a decision is going to impact the residents of District 1 more than other districts, I expect other council members would hear me out. I would do the same for them. If everyone is keeping the whole community in mind, as well as the wishes of the parts, a City Council elected by districts should work for the entire city.\u201d\nLack of Monument \u00adcandidates\nWith District 3, the city crafted boundaries that included most of the Monument area \u2013 with its large percentage of Latinos and other under-represented minorities. Yet no one from the community stepped forward to run. Both Aliano and Yamada moved to the district to run for the seat.\n\u201cWhile it is good that someone wants to run for the council seat, where are the homegrown leaders or long-term residents from the Monument?\u201d asks George Fulmore, an unofficial representative of the district who often speaks to the council about issues facing the Monument area.\nAliano and Yamada differ a bit in how they said they will represent the district, but both said they would put the Monument first.\n\u201cI will always make policy decisions that I feel will benefit the city of Concord all together, but there will be moments when my constituency wants something different from the rest of Concord,\u201d says Aliano. \u201cIn times like these, I will be making policy decisions that are wanted by the residents of District 3. They are electing an individual to represent their needs and if elected, those are the people that I am serving.\u201d\nYamada acknowledged that the needs of the Monument community differ from those of the rest of the city, mostly regarding the availability of certain resources and the prevalence of certain issues.\n\u201cNone of the issues that face us in the Monument community are unique to this part of the city, although some of them are more concentrated here,\u201d he says.\n\u201cMy approach to resolving any conflicts of priority will be to prioritize what is necessary for people\u2019s basic safety and well-being \u2013 without leaving any people out of that calculation. It will not always be clear in every situation what choice best meets that criterion. We will discuss situations as a community. And as a council member, I will listen very carefully to every point of view and try to find a way forward that respects all needs. But it is crucial to be clear what the basic principles are, to make coherent decisions and not just react.\u201d\nIn the next issue, the Pioneer will look at how all the candidates stand on specific issues.\nPrevious Standing tall in Todos Santos\nNext Fall brings new concert series",

        "title": "The debate on cannabis comes home",
        "raw_content": "The debate on cannabis comes home\nOn Saturday Sept. 8, I experienced a forum on cannabis. There were expert speakers and presentation on the various aspects of the products including a political panel with the Mayor of Walnut Creek, three candidates for the Concord and Walnut Creek city councils as well as myself, Mayor of Concord.\nThey presented facts and ideas around all the objections in allowing dispensaries, production and assorted related cannabis facilities.\nUnfortunately, it was not attended by those who opposed cannabis in the in the six- hour long meeting in June where there were about 20 speakers that touched on the negative or opposition the topic of cannabis. At that time, I was struck by the scope of the arguments and the depth of commitment to each side\u2019s cause. The top issues on non-medical use fell into these topics where there were some back up attached, including crime, addiction or non-contagion based on geographic location to different people, impact on youth, health, cost and traffic accidents.\nFor the first time the scope of the use in Concord was addressed with the concept of about 10,000 to 18,000 people taking deliveries and more getting from other sources. Think about the fears and put it in perspective that for decades about one in seven of your neighbors have been using cannabis.\nIf the \u201cfacts\u201d as presented were proven to be false, there would have been NO change in people\u2019s position. If crime was shown to actually go down it would not make a difference and when confronted the people would refuse to either accept even the POSSIBILITY of such a thing and would knee jerk attack the source and the individual. The same thing would happen with teen use. Recently the East Bay Times local edition had a story that data showed that since the passage of Prop 64 to legalize sale and adult use, teenage use was going DOWN.\nWhen it comes to what is basically an emotional not factual based position, there is no point in go over facts. What is best done is simply ask the person who thinks cannabis is immoral, what would it take to change their position and then not to fall for the trap line of: \u201cLike what?\u201d You cannot enter into their mind and only they can provide the path to change. For the Mayor of Walnut Creek who, like his council, was opposed to Prop 64 (the only city council to take a negative stand on legalization), the fact that every precinct in the city voted for legalization and all over 60 percent, made him change his mind and say, \u201cgive the people what they want.\u201d He now is in support of dispensaries but is a minority on the council that is still opposed.\nThe two basic arguments that I like best and are at the core of my likewise emotional position so far is:\n1. We should have dominion over our own bodies. What we put in them is our business.\n2. I do not want anyone in my city going to another city to buy a legal commercial consumer product.\nAbout 30 years ago the people of this city, with the backing of the political establishment including the then-mayor, voted in an election to directly allow discrimination against gays. The arguments were:\n1. It was immoral.\n2. It would lead to crime as pedophiles would be haunting the parks.\n3. It was a safety issue because everyone knew that AIDS was epidemic in \u2018those people.\u201d\n4. It would destroy the image of Concord as family friendly place if we allowed gays here, after all do we want men walking down our streets holding hands?\nOn June 1, the Rainbow Flag was raised at City Hall, as a reminder that we need to live in concordance with one another with respect, and neighborliness. We start our council meetings with the reminder that we are to be \u201c\u2026indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.\u201d It took us 30 years to live up to it on that issue. This issue started in the last century. Is it not time to face it now? If not, what will it take for you to change your mind?\nPrevious Correction\nNext Council candidates share positions on city issues",

''I hope people enjoy my singing, but at the same time, I hope their lives are affected by the words,'' the Grammy winner said. Central Floridians will hear the gospel according to Grant and Rich Mullins at 8 p.m. Saturday at the Lakeland Civic Center arena, 700 W. Lemon St., Lakeland. Tickets are $13.50 and available at all Select-A-Seat outlets.\nSpread the word: Grant, the youngest of four daughters raised in Augusta, Ga., began writing songs by age 14. Her career was given its start when record producer Brown Bannister heard her tape and replayed it for Stan Moser, head of the Word record label. After an audition, Grant landed a recording contract. Her music ranges from high-energy rock 'n' roll to soft country ballads. Grant attributes her success to the message of her songs: ''I try never to say anything in a song that I don't believe in wholeheartedly, and I think people can sense that. . . . I'm a Christian, and I just want to sing about it.''\nHead of her class: Grant dominates contemporary Christian music like no other artist in any category. She has won four Grammys: 1982 best contemporary gospel album for Age to Age; 1983 best female gospel performance for ''Ageless Medley''; 1984 best female gospel performance for ''Angels''; and, last week, 1985 best female gospel performance for her album Unguarded.\nGospel Music Awards\nA broad look at America's music\nGospel Singer Amy Grant Crosses Over\nWomen Reporters Earn Place",

        "raw_content": "I understand IRC 106.3.1 to say that the construction documents must remain on the construction site from the beginning of the project to the end. Is this your understanding?\nRe: Construction Documents\nby Jerry Peck - Codeman on Tue Dec 06, 2011 10:03 pm\n\"I understand IRC 106.3.1 to say that the construction documents must remain on the construction site from the beginning of the project to the end. Is this your understanding?\"\nYes ... but ...\nR104.1 says that \"The building official shall have the authority to render interpretations of this code and to adopt policies and procedures in order to clarify the application of its provisions. Such interpretations, policies and procedures shall be in conformance with the intent and purpose of this code.[/quote]\nWhich allows the building official to create policies which allow the construction documents to not be kept on the work site, to only require the construction documents to be present and available for and at the time of inspection.\nThat said, a typical example the construction documents not being on the work site can lead to what happened yesterday at an inspection - I had a copy of the UL design for the firestopping which was submitted and approved for a project, two 7 story towers which had no firestopping where the refrigerant piping, wiring, and condensate piping for the mechanical units penetrated through openings in the floors. I was doing some mechanical inspections a couple of weeks ago on replacement mechanical units and noticed that the openings were \"open\" from the first floor to the seventh floor - not good and a fire hazard, among other things which were non-compliant (i.e., air from every unit in the stack was being drawn into every other unit in the stack).\nLong story short, the contractor in charge of the renovations had their engineer submit a design for retrofitting the firestopping - when I went to inspect the first unit where the firestopping was being installed, I asked the installers if they were installing the firestopping as shown in the UL design, they said ... 'What UL design, we don't have anything showing us how it is to be installed, we are just installing it as we were told to install it.'\nObviously, the installation was nothing like it was supposed to be, and it turned out to be impractical to use that firestopping system. Their engineer went back to the drawing board, they contacted firestopping system manufacturers, and everyone is putting their heads together to find a system which will work in the retrofit with the limited working conditions which exist.\nYes, by not requiring the construction documents to be on the work site at all times, that allows workers to proceed with installing work in a manner which is non-compliant with what has been submitted and approved.\nBuilding officials almost always only require the construction documents to be available at the work site at the time of their inspections ... and the above is only one example of what results from that all too common practice.\nYes, I know the IRC also says:\nSuch policies and procedures shall not have the effect of waiving requirements specifically provided for in this code.\nI know that not requiring the construction documents to be at the work site at all times (when workers are present, no need to have the construction documents there when no work is being done) is directly contradictory to the above statement ... however, it is common practice and building officials deem that policy to be within the scope of Section R104 Duties and Powers of the Building Official.\nThat is just one example of conflicts which the code creates with contradictory requirements and allowances, and which the code tries to overcome by inserting statements such as \"Such policies and procedures shall not have the effect of waiving requirements specifically provided for in this code.\"\nOnce one section gives power to the building official, the building official is not going to relinquish that power without a fight just because another section says differently.\nI believe the construction documents should be on the work site at all times that work is being done - how else are the workers to know what was approved and what needs to be done?\nby aaronm on Wed Dec 07, 2011 8:07 am\nAs usual, thank you for you perspicacious comments.",

        "title": "Selected Planning Issues: Planning After the Lawsuit \u2013 Can it be Done? \u2013 The Asset Protection News",
        "raw_content": "Volume XX \u2022 Number 3 \u2022 AUGUST 2011\nBACKGROUND. It is often said that once a person has been sued nothing can be done to protect assets. This is usually true. The knowledgeable asset protection professional will, however, be able to recognize the few exceptions to that rule. The ability to recognize and utilize the exceptions will depend upon a thorough understanding of the relevant fraudulent transfer law.\nWHAT DOES THE FRAUDULENT TRANSFER LAW PROVIDE? If a transfer is a fraudulent transfer, the court may be able to \u201cundo\u201d the transfer, putting the asset back in your hands. In order for a fraudulent transfer to take place,\na \u201ctransfer\u201d must occur, and the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act (\u201cUFTA\u201d) defines a \u201ctransfer\u201d as \u201c\u2026 parting with an asset or an interest in an asset\u201d. Every state has laws which provide that certain assets, or a set dollar amount of certain assets, cannot be taken by a person\u2019s creditor. These assets are referred to as \u201cexempt assets\u201d. For purposes of the UFTA, an exempt asset does not count as an asset, so, under most circumstances, an exempt asset can be transferred to a (more) protective arrangement without violating any ethical or legal standard.\nWHY BOTHER? Why should you consider transferring an exempt asset (or its proceeds) to a more protective structure? After all, your state law provides that the asset is protected, right? To answer these questions, ask yourself this: \u201cAm I certain that if I am sued I\u2019ll be treated fairly by our legal system?\u201d We have all been witness to surprises in our U.S. court system, in both civil and criminal cases. Being \u201ctreated fairly\u201d implies that the court will follow the letter of the law (for example, upholding your state\u2019s statutory exemptions in your favor). The sad fact is that you should not bet your (financial) life on that happening. We have personally seen cases where a court has disregarded not only the state law exemptions, but also the statutes of limitations. So, \u201cWhy bother?\u201d \u2013 because you prefer certainty to uncertainty. Because you do not want to \u201croll the dice\u201d in our legal system in the hope that the court will treat you fairly and follow the law upon which you based your planning.\nIn addition, even though an asset may be exempt, some state laws (modifying the UFTA) provide that if the asset became exempt within four years of a creditor\u2019s claim, it may not be exempt if the creditor can prove a fraudulent transfer was made to obtain the exemption.\nPLANNING AFTER THE LAWSUIT \u2013 CAN IT BE DONE? The short answer: \u201cYes, sometimes.\u201d We just need to know when. This APN issue is not exhaustive, but let\u2019s take a look at some examples. Please understand that each of our 50 states has its own version of statutory exempt assets and fraudulent transfer laws, so the following discussion and examples are based upon Florida law.\nCASE STUDY: WAGE EXEMPTION. You (a Florida resident) have just been sued for breach of contract and the claim is significant. Your litigation attorney does not think you can win the case. You earn a very significant salary and qualify as the \u201chead of family\u201d under Florida\u2019s wage exemption law. That law provides that 100% of the earnings of a head of family are exempt from creditor claims for a period of six months after being deposited in a financial institution. We usually recommend that the head of family establish a separate account to more clearly identify such exempt amounts (some call this a \u201cwage account\u201d). In this example, your wage account totals a significant amount of earnings received within the last six months. But the exemption \u201cclock\u201d is ticking (i.e., soon the exemption will expire). Can you do anything? Here\u2019s what we recommend: We recommend that you transfer such exempt funds to a properly established offshore asset protection trust \u2013 effectively extending the exemption indefinitely since the funds are then beyond the reach of the U.S. legal system. Recall: exempt funds are not an \u201casset\u201d for purposes of the UFTA, so this can\u2019t be a fraudulent transfer. RESULT? You have \u201cclean hands\u201d and are in a substantially stronger position to bargain for a favorable settlement than would be the case without the offshore trust.\nCASE STUDY: TENANTS BY THE ENTIRETIES. Let\u2019s continue with the same facts as in the previous case study. An examination of your assets reveals that you and your spouse have had a brokerage account in both your names for 10 years with a significant amount of marketable securities in it. Under Florida law, such an account is deemed to be held by a married couple as \u201ctenants by the entireties\u201d (TBE), and, where only one spouse is liable to a creditor, the TBE account is fully exempt from the creditor of the indebted spouse. Here\u2019s what we recommend:You transfer the securities (without having to sell them) into a Swiss financial account established within your offshore asset protection trust by the offshore trustee. RESULT? The securities cannot be reached by your creditor \u2013 period. Why be concerned with this additional degree of protection? Simple: In the unfortunate case where the non-indebted spouse predeceases the indebted spouse, the TBE protection vanishes instantly. The offshore asset protection trust insures against that possibility and the possibility of unfair treatment by a US court.\nCONCLUSION. Asset protection planning may be possible after a lawsuit has been filed against you, but not in all cases. Use experienced, qualified counsel to advise you of your options. A properly implemented asset protection trust would assure the transferor that the property will always be available for the transferor\u2019s benefit and enjoyment while the transferor is alive.\n\u2190 Titling Assets: Pitfalls to be Avoided \u2013 Part II Rush University Case: What Could Have Been Done Differently? \u2192",

Burger on April 20, 2009\nAccording to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the principal laws that protect investors and preserve business integrity are (i) the Securities Act of 1933, (ii) the Securities Act of 1934, (iii) the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, (iv) the Investment Company Act of 1940, (v) the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, and (vi) the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.\nWith the exception of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX), the above statutes are products of the New Deal. Congress enacted them in response to the country\u2019s greatest financial crisis to date. The factors that produced the Great Depression and the present economic situation are too numerous to list and complex to adequately analyze. It must not be overlooked, however, that the causes were global in nature and undermined confidence in all economic sectors and among the population as a whole.\nUnlike in the 1920s, large numbers of Americans today are \u201cinvestors\u201d \u2013 as purchasers (i.e. shareholders) of individual stocks, mutual funds, etc. In recent months, both individual and institutional investors have witnessed the decline in the value of their portfolio. This situation has made many people ponder: what is the appropriate role of governmental bodies and international institutions when regulating the private sector.\nFor more than fifty years, most western governments generally evinced considerable faith in the market system, albeit subject to varying degrees of government regulation and social welfare benefits. In addition, policy makers are questioning the roles of private self-regulating organizations in our financial system since many perform quasi-governmental functions.\nCentral to U.S. thinking about our economic model of organization is the belief that private corporations should have a central role in the economy. Unfortunately, our corporate model is based on the myth of shareholder control. In reality, most shareholders do not monitor the corporations they own part of (much less vote their shares). More annual reports and proxy statements are tossed into the garbage than are analyzed.\nIn lieu of shareholder control a cozy relationship between management and boards of directors has developed that effectively controls the way corporations operate. Unfortunately, many Chief Executive Officers are also Chairmen of the Boards that employ them \u2013 an obvious conflict of interest as is recognized by many countries, including England.\nThe U.S. and its political subdivisions do not limit an individual from serving on numerous boards of directors (though some countries do, such as Colombia \u2013 not a country well-known for having a well-developed system of corporate governance). The procedures and other requirements governing the number and substance of corporate board meetings are seldom set out in great detail. Furthermore, there is no education or training requirements for persons to serve as board members. Board members typically are nominated by senior management or existing board members; it is rare that shareholders are successful in choosing a majority of the board \u2013 the costs and dedication needed to organize are significant impediments.[1]\nRecent events have demonstrated that corporate oversight can be lax. Furthermore, federal and state government regulators frequently lack the resources and political support to perform effective oversight functions or bring enforcement actions. Finally, there seems to be recognition within Washington that existing laws and regulations have not kept pace with business practices \u2013 the need to regulate derivatives and hedge funds is no longer a matter of whether, but how.\nAfter the passages of SOX, many people were lulled into complacency that the factors contributing to corporate governance scandals had been addressed by assigning greater responsibilities to corporate board of directors. In fact, this is only partially the case as recent events have shown. It is not possible to regulate morality and frequently companies have incentives not to rigorously carry out internal compliance systems as they do not generate a profit.\nA good share of the blame for corporate governance failures (and poorly performing corporations in general belong to passive boards of directors (the members of which are often handsomely remunerated).[2] These individuals frequently serve on numerous boards while spending very little time examining the activities of the corporation \u2013 the details of which are frequently supplied by management.\nEven the so-called independent directors are often only independent in the sense of not being employees of the company. Of course, investors should have understood that it is not logical for the increasing value of stock portfolios to greatly outpace the GNP growth or gains in worker productivity. Now is the time for people to remember to live within their means.\nAccording to New York University Professor Nouriel Roubini, the Anglo-Saxon model of supervision and regulation of the financial system has failed \u2013 the same may be true for numerous corporations.[3] Professor Roubini remarks, \u201cIndeed, it seems that for approximately nine years, the U.S. Securities Commission\u2019s Enforcement Division chose to ignore \u201cred flags\u201d that Bernard Madoff was orchestrating a large scale financial fraud\u201d.[4] Congress\u2019 seeming inability to pass laws and for the executive branch to issue effective regulations in large part can be attributed to effective lobbying by corporations.\nFor corporate governance to be effective, steps must be taken to ensure that directors, managers, and professionals working for companies are made more accountable. At times it seems that the higher one rises in a corporation (or the public sector as well), the less accountable they become.\nAnother problem is that corporation managers and board members are sometimes reluctant to file law suits on behalf of the corporation when it has been injured by third parties. This can be explained by numerous factors, including not wanting to damage personal relationships, fearing shareholder law suits or reducing the value of the corporation\u2019s stock (which depending on the manner in which individuals are compensated, creates a divergence between their interests and those of the shareholders).\nAt present, it is cumbersome for shareholders to obtain the right to file derivative lawsuits. Perhaps, individual or groups of shareholders should be permitted to file claims in court when management and board members fail to investigate thoroughly potentially meritorious claims against third parties who cause through their negligence or wrongdoing harm to the corporation.\nProfessionals working on behalf of corporate clients may be influenced by what could be characterized as conflicts of interest. At present, certified public accountants continue to be hired by the corporations they are supposed to scrutinize. Lawyers are expected to exercise independent professional judgment, particularly. In reality, both accountants and lawyers are frequently asked to bless questionable corporate actions and in fact even devise them.\nImagine if the SEC or federal Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) assigned accounting firms to companies. Do you think that the auditors might have shown some skepticism when individuals were being approved for mortgages for amounts greatly exceeding three times their income?\u200c Would questions have been raised about \u201cno doc\u201d loans?\u200c\nSince many shareholders vote with their feet rather than attempt to assert their rights through the procedures set out in the corporate documents, senior management and board members can often act with impunity (and in any event, corporations typically pay for their errors and omissions insurance).\nOne way corporate governance could possibly be strengthened would be if Congress were to legislatively overturn the U.S. Supreme Court\u2019s unfortunate decision in Stoneridge Investment Partners vs. Scientific-Atlanta, Inc., issued in January 2008.[5] Recent events illustrate that the existing laws relating to corporate governance as well as regulatory scheme cannot achieve the goals for which they were created. Resources in this area are almost always inadequate to investigate, identify and when appropriate ensure the prosecution of financial crimes.\nStoneridge concerned whether plaintiffs had the right to bring private causes of action based on the theory of \u201cscheme liability,\u201d where the actions of third parties allowed the corporation \u201cto mislead its auditor and issue a misleading financial statement affecting the stock price\u201d (i.e. commit a fraud on the market).[6]\nJustice Kennedy, writing for the Court\u2019s five judge majority, ruled that the plaintiffs had no right to bring such a lawsuit since federal securities law did not create any implied right of action \u2013 and in any case the plaintiffs were precluded from bringing their case since they did not rely upon the statements of the third-parties. This meant that shareholders are not permitted to file lawsuits against third-parties that allegedly aided and abetted a fraud such as assisting in the preparation of a deceptive financial statements in the absence of \u201creliance\u201d on the third parties\u2019 deceptive actions. Furthermore, Justice Kennedy asserted that only the SEC and not private parties were authorized under US. securities law to bring claims for aiding and abetting liability, that is, not by private parties. Of course private parties may have a greater incentive to bring such a claim than a federal regulator.[7]\nIn his dissenting opinion, Judge Stevens (joined by three other justices, Judge Breyer did not participate) rejected the majority\u2019s opinion. Not only did Judge Stevens believe that Justice Kennedy misconstrued existing precedent he ignored \u201cthe history of court-created remedies and specifically the history of implied causes of action under \u00a7 10(b) . . . .\u201d[8] Judge Stevens was very direct when he wrote that \u201cthe Court is simply wrong when it states that Congress did not impliedly authorize this private cause of action \u201cwhen it first enacted the statute\u201d and that when \u201cCongress enacted \u00a7 10(b)\u201d it did so \u201cwith the understanding that federal courts respected the principle that every wrong would have a remedy.\u201d[9]\nAs a practical matter, to restore investors\u2019 faith in the market, Congress must amend existing laws that permit regulators or plaintiffs\u2019 attorneys to aggressively take action against those who facilitate corporate wrongdoing to prevent future financial meltdowns.[10]\n[1] See Robert A.G.

Shortly after Mr. Markopolos testimony U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Financial Services on February 4, 20089, the SEC\u2019s Senior Enforcement Official Linda Thomsen, who had been in her post for approximately five years, resigned her position \u201cto pursue opportunities in the private sector, but did not provide further details.\u201d Marcy Gordon, SEC Enforcement Chief Linda Thomsen Resigns,\u201d The Washington Post\u2019s website, available at http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/02/09/AR2009020901409.html\u200cnav=rss_business/industries (Last Accessed February 12, 2009).\n[5] Stoneridge Investment Partners LLC v.

Chrisman, Stoneridge v. Scientific-Atlanta: Do Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 Require a Misstatement or Omission, 26 Quinnipiac L. Rev. 839 (2008) (viewing the Supreme Court\u2019s decision in Stonebridge as not being based on principle and precedent, but a ruling based largely on policy grounds).\nToday\u2019s Financial Crisis, Corporate Governance, and the Issue of Third-Party Liability added by Ethan S.

        "raw_content": "More Teachers (Part Two) \u2013 Mind and Heart Matters\nLife is a labor pain of self-birth. Sometimes God responds to your prayers when you are not able to complete the birthing process, and sometimes God steps back when it is time for you to take responsibility and deliver. The following is the second edited excerpt from an article written by Danny Verbov. The first installment was posted here on January 12, 2015. To view his book go to:\nLesson #6: Cry. Learn to cry.\nLet the tears flow. Don\u2019t hold back. No one will think you are less macho because of it. I cried a lot throughout our brush with cancer. Tears are a tremendous gift. They remind us we\u2019re human. They remind us we\u2019re not callous brutes. They also help release tension and deep feelings in a way words cannot express and they help us identify with the pain of others. And, like prayer, no tear is ever wasted\u2026\nTakeaway: It\u2019s okay to cry.\nLesson #7: You are Never Alone.\nDuring the chemo it was a tremendous comfort and support to receive calls from friends just calling to say, \u201cI\u2019m thinking of you.\u201d My wife and I were at our son\u2019s side 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This gave him tremendous security and confidence during his stay in hospital.\nAnd even after all the friends have left, or your parents are no longer with you\u2026 even when you\u2019re alone awake at two in the morning next to your sick kid\u2019s bed, God is with you at all times. He is our eternal parent, with us every single second, during the good times as well as the bad. You are never alone. We may not be God, but we can certainly call people to tell them we care. Even if they are not experiencing tragedy\u2014even if we don\u2019t need anything from them, every show of sensitive concern showers so much warmth, self-confidence, and happiness on the recipient. And brings much more goodness into the world.\nTakeaway: Call a friend today!\nLesson #8: Keep Your Worries in Proportion.\nMost things in life are not life and death issues; serious maybe, but not life and death. We saw a lot of life and death in the time we were in the hospital, so we knew we were very \u2018lucky.\u2019 Kids born with leukemia going through two years of treatment that might not work, kids with cancer for the second, third or fourth time, endless pain and suffering\u2026 and yes, we saw death too. Our priority was getting through this. We didn\u2019t appreciate what \u2018aggressive treatment\u2019 meant until we spent almost four consecutive months in the hospital with my wife and I rotating shifts. That was our full-time job.\nThank God, we had financial help, help with the kids, and help with everything else. Our community was absolutely amazing. Over 50 women cooked meals for us during that time \u2013 I\u2019ve never eaten so well in my life! Someone did our shopping every week and people even came in to do laundry and wash the dishes. No worries. Indeed, once we realize the Almighty is taking care of our health, finances, and daily maintenance every second of the day, we have no worries. And since then, whether it was during chemotherapy or any other stressful event, I use this technique to focus on doing what I can do and leaving what I can\u2019t to God.\nTakeaway: Focus on what you have, not on what you don\u2019t have.\nLesson #9: The Power of Prayer.\nOnce my son\u2019s situation became known, people all over the world began to pray for him, recite Psalms, take on commitments not to gossip, and many other things we don\u2019t even know about. A friend set up a Facebook group praying for our son that attracted over 4,000 members, most of whom did not even know us!\nLike the tears we talked about in Lesson #6, prayer is another thing bigger than us. No prayer is wasted. With that realization, everything you do takes on a new dimension. You suddenly take more care and put more effort into every word of prayer, every word you say, every mundane action. You suddenly become acutely aware of the extreme consequences of your every move. God might not answer in the way you want, but that too is for a reason we do not always understand.\nTakeaway: Pray today with all your heart for something you truly desire.\nLesson #10: People Want to Give.\nIn the hospital, we were witness to overflowing goodness and unlimited giving. Everyone from family and friends came by, and even complete strangers just turned up to be with us or to give our son a word of encouragement. Someone brought us a tub of Ben and Jerry\u2019s at two in the morning\u2026 a friend drove four hours just to play Scrabble with me in the hospital, a famous rabbi cried over the phone\u2026 and a constant stream of visitors and volunteers throughout the day! One of our greatest tests in life is to know how to receive. Often, people want to give more than you need to receive. Let them. Be prepared to receive any help, whether physical or emotional, direct or indirect; accept simply, with gratitude and a pleasant countenance. Be ready to deal sensitively with people who wanted to help but didn\u2019t know how. Even make up things they can do for you! Not because you need it, but because they do. Know that all this human kindness is just a shimmering reflection of the Almighty\u2019s unbounded, incomprehensible Goodness. He gives. No limits. No conditions.\nTakeaway: If you\u2019re in trouble, let people give to you. If someone else is in need, give something, however small, of yourself.\nPeace, Love & Healing\nThis entry was posted in Mind / Body Medicine, Relationships, Spirituality, Stories, Uncategorized and tagged cancer, chemotherapy, Danny Verbov, support.

        "title": "How Liberal Zionists Sowed the Seeds of Israel\u2019s Nation State Law",
        "raw_content": "Mike Pence visits the Knesset, 22 Jan 2018 (CC 2.0)\nWhen Richard Spencer, one of the leaders of the Alt-Right movement in the United States, says that he is a \u201cWhite Zionist\u201d, and that he wants white people \u201cto have a secure homeland that for us and ourselves just like you want a secure homeland in Israel\u201d, he is often faced with an outpour of scorn from audiences that do not subscribe to his ideology. His ideas are dismissed as fantasies of a white supremacist emboldened by the rise of Trump in the US and other right-wings parties in the rest of the world. But when he says that he \u201cturns to Israel for guidance\u201d as \u201cthe most important and perhaps the most revolutionary ethno-state\u201d, some have reasons \u2013beyond the racism of the movement and the speaker- to resent the analogy he makes. Liberal-Zionist thinkers would usually balk at such an admirer, citing a range of reasons and texts in making the argument that Israel is a liberal democracy, But the Knesset (Israel\u2019s legislature) has made their task harder by passing a new basic law, essentially a constitutional statute which together with other basic laws is seen as Israel\u2019s formal albeit incomplete constitution.\nBasic Law: Israel- the Nation State of the Jewish People is an odd piece of legislation. More than change anything in the legal landscape, it reasserts certain principles that have long been at the heart the (Jewish) Israeli consensus. While Palestinian citizens of Israel, who constitute 20% if the population, have rightly protested against the new basic law, the contestations of those who identify as liberal-Zionists are harder to comprehend, for the basic law repeats notions that they have tirelessly defended and justified. In many ways, they have sown the seeds of this basic law they are now decrying.\nThe debate on Israel\u2019s character, and indeed the legitimacy of Zionism, has never stopped since the creation of the state in 1948. Critics question the justice of creating an exclusive Jewish state by colonising an Arab majority country. Supporters highlight a Jewish right to self-determination, claiming that Israel is the culmination of that right, and Zionism is the national movement that made it happen. Within the Zionist camp, Liberal-Zionists are those intellectuals and academics who try to balance a Jewish-only right to self-determination in Israel with liberal and democratic values. Politically and practically, reconciling these two ideas is not a simple task, if not outright impossible. Since the 1990s, the fine balance was represented by the mantra \u201cJewish and democratic\u201d, which became Israel\u2019s formal constitutional definition and was adopted in a handful of basic laws.\nBut the \u201cJewish and democratic\u201d formula is itself too ambiguous and needs interpretation to have any real meaning. Liberal Zionist intellectuals try to combine a core of democratic attributes and a measure of civil and political rights with Zionist ideals. Of course they are not all made of the same cloth, and there are disagreements on how to reconcile the competing and contradictory elements, but the differences are generally a matter of degree than kind. Israeli academics such as Ruth Gavison and Shlomo Avineri, both of whom from the Hebrew University, Amnon Rubenstein, a former President of Tel-Aviv University, and Yael Tamir, an academic and a former Minister of Education are some of the prominent names that come to mind. The end goal of their intellectual exercises is to demonstrate that Israel, despite the fact that it constitutionally favours Jews, their culture and collective rights, and legally discriminates against 20% of its citizens, is a liberal democracy. This is usually done by comparing Israeli policies with certain policies in other carefully selected countries to demonstrate that many other countries adopt similar positions, or through developing superficial and reductive theoretical approaches to liberal democracy that water down both liberalism and democracy in a manner that would leave other liberal theorists scratching their heads.\nAharon Barak, the former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and currently a professor of law at the Interdisciplinary Centre Herzliya, is perhaps the one person who has been the most influential in giving meaning to the \u201cJewish and democratic\u201d formula. A towering figure in the Israeli legal scene and with an international following, Barak expounded the meaning of \u201cJewish and democratic\u201d in numerous judicial rulings and extra-judicial publications and lectures. His constant attempts at reconciling the irreconcilable yielded mixed results, but always remained within the Zionist consensus. His liberal views on matters that did not necessarily challenge core Zionist beliefs about Jewish self-determination, Jewish majority and exclusive Jewish immigration did draw the ire of the more religious and rightwing groups. For such groups, Barak and the Supreme Court he led became the symbol of the liberal (and mostly Ashkenazi) elites. Some of the largest demonstrations in the history of Israel were organised by Ultra-Orthodox groups against the Supreme Court, including the 350,000 strong demonstration in 1999 against a decision that abolished the exemption from compulsory military service that yeshiva students enjoyed since 1948.\nGiven his reputation as a modern day prophet of Israeli liberalism, it is ironic that most of the provisions of the new basic law actually follow his understanding of what a Jewish state is. In fact, when the first bill for this basic law was introduced in 2011, Barak was quoted in the explanatory note, and the Member of Knesset who introduced the bill, Avi Dichter\u2013 the former head of the General Security Services during the Second Intifada, responsible for the detention and torture of thousands of Palestinians- defended it by stating that some parts were borrowed verbatim from Aharon Barak. At the time, Dichter was a member of the now defunct Kadima party which was then in the opposition. Even though it was founded by Ariel Sharon when he split from the Likud in 2005, Kadima was a party that combined neo-liberal economic outlook with a centrist view regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. By Israeli standards it was a liberal party, and at its peak it counted in its rank many leaders who are usually seen as \u201cmoderate\u201d such as Shimon Peres, Ehud Barak and Tsipi Livni.\nWhile the basic law\u2019s genesis is in a feeble attempt by a backbench Member of Knesset to get some media attention during the wilderness years in parliamentary opposition, the idea was recycled over and over again, gathering and losing momentum and supporters over the past 7 years. Several members of Knesset from different parties and sometimes the Government reintroduced it in the Knesset and sometimes killed it off, all depending on the exigencies of the hour. At times, it was brought back to life to distract from the ongoing investigations against Netanyahu, at other times it was reintroduced by Netanyahu\u2019s coalition partners, Habayit Hayehudi (the Jewish Home) as an attempt to signal to the electorate who the real \u201cRight\u201d is. It is reported even Obama intervened personally to get the Government to drop it at some point during his presidency.\nThe final version of the bill that became law retained most of the earlier elements. It opens declaring certain principles that are drawn from the Declaration of Establishment of the State of Israel (1948) about Historic Palestine (or the Land of Israel) being the historic homeland of the Jewish people, and about Israel being the nation-state of the Jewish people where \u201cit exercises its natural, cultural, religious and historic right to self-determination\u201d. Apart from the addition of the \u201creligious\u201d right to self-determination, which has no parallel elsewhere in the world, all these principles could be drawn from the Declaration and the jurisprudence of the Supreme Court even during its most liberal years. Even subsection (c), that limits self-determination to Jews only, is not new. Most of the justifications that liberal-Zionists marshal for designating Israel as a Jewish state and as justification for the Law of Return start from the premise that Israel is the homeland of Jews only, and only Jews can exercise self-determination in Israel.\nThe section dealing with the official language has attracted a lot of attention. It establishes Hebrew as the language of the state, and relegates Arabic from the status of \u201cofficial language\u201d to a language \u201cwith special status\u201d leaving it to the legislature to determine the details of what that would be. Also here there is no change: even though according to the Palestine Order in Council of 1992- a relic of the British Mandate- Arabic was an official language, the Supreme Court under Barak ruled that Hebrew is the principal language with Arabic having \u201ca distinct and added value\u201d over other languages that does not match the superior status of Hebrew. In other words, it is a language \u201cwith special status\u201d.\nJewish settlement is another issue that the basic law highlights. Section 7 states that the \u201cstate sees the development of Jewish settlement as a national value, and shall act in order to promote its establishment and development.\u201d This could hardly be differentiated from Barak\u2019s view that sees a Jewish state as a state that promotes Jewish settlement and a \u201cstate that redeems state land for Jewish settlement\u201d, as he stated in a lecture to the 34th Zionist Congress in 2002. The version that was adopted is the watered down version: the original bill had a subsection that would have allowed \u201ca community, including those belonging to one religion or one nation, to have separate community settlements\u201d. This was seen as an attempt to circumvent a ruling of the Supreme Court in which Barak ruled that Israel\u2019s character as a Jewish state does not allow discrimination in housing- though other factors, such as security, could. But this ruling was in practice circumvented in a round-about way when the Knesset enacted a statute that indirectly allows discrimination in \u201ccommunity settlements\u201d. The Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of this statute despite the discriminatory intent and outcome.\nOne of the main contentions of the liberal-Zionists is that the new basic law does not include any reference to democracy or equality. Earlier basic laws which are still valid use the formula \u201cJewish and democratic\u201d as the constitutional definition of the state, and this was not repealed by this basic law. Equality was never listed as a constitutional right in Israel, and in fact it was intentionally omitted from Basic Law: Human Dignity and Liberty. The Supreme Court however derived a qualified right to equality from human dignity which is a protected constitutional right: a violation of equality that is severe enough could be seen as a violation of human dignity. Beyond this, equality in Israel was always taken to be equality within the limits of Zionism. Palestinians do not have an equal right to immigrate to the country; the ability of those of them hold Israeli citizenship to sponsor Palestinian spouses for legal status in Israel is severely limited by law; and their ability to participate in the elections is contingent on accepting the Zionist narrative. Even though a qualified right to equality exists under Israeli law, it is limited by the Zionist ceiling. If equality means challenging core Zionist beliefs, then equality has to (and in practice did) give way.\nBut if this basic law does not make any significant change beyond reiterating the Superior status of Jews in the country, why are liberal-Zionists so opposed to it even though they would agree with all the principles in it? After all, they spilled too much ink defending them and providing the intellectual edifices to ground them, so why does listing these principles in one basic law offend their sensibilities now? Their liberal sensibilities were not offended by many other statutes or actions of the state. No one heard their protests when the Knesset passed statutes that severely curtailed the rights of the Palestinian citizens to sponsor spouses, or when the Knesset allowed for indirect discrimination in housing, or when the Knesset enacted a statute effectively outlawing any call for boycott of settlements or commemoration of the Palestinian Nakba. They were nowhere to been seen when the state destroyed and displaced the Bedouin villages of Attir Um El-Heiran and Al Araqeeb (inhabited by Israeli citizens) to build exclusively Jewish towns under what\u2019s known as Judaization policy (later renamed \u201cdevelopment\u201d). All of these statutes and decisions were sanctioned by the courts, and in many cases the judges cited liberal-Zionist jurists to justify their reasoning.\nIt seems that they are more concerned with image and appearance. Amnon Rubenstein, a former legislator, Minister of Education, and a prominent professor of constitutional law contends that \u201ceveryone who reads the bill understands that it will help BDS [the boycott divestment and sanctions campaign against Israel] and increase Israel\u2019s isolation in the West and within the Jewish diaspora.\u201d Prof. Shlomo Avineri, another liberal-Zionist, is also concerned that the new basic law will increase tensions in Israel between Jews and Palestinians, and will \u201ccause significant damage internationally\u201d. Yael Tamir shares these concerns and adds that the new basic law \u201cundermines Israel\u2019s definition as a democratic state and expands the growing gap between Israel and the Western world.\u201d It seems that the main concern is that putting all of the ethno-religious and inherently exclusionary principles that are the core of Israel\u2019s character as a Jewish state will seal the argument about Israel\u2019s nature showing how it is closer to apartheid than democracy; how it is more Richard Spencer and less Martin Luther King. In 341 words, the basic law makes the argument that hitherto one needed thousands of pages to demonstrate. It is now a position that can\u2019t be compared away, and liberal-Zionists have their fingerprints all over it.\nMazen Masri is a Senior Lecturer in Law at City, University of London. He is the author of The Dynamics of Exclusionary Constitutionalism: Israel as a Jewish and Democratic State (Hart Publishing, 2017).\nAgainst Appeasement: What's Wrong with Zionism?\nI read this article and found it very interesting, thought it might be something for you.

Even now, blockchain is revolutionizing the way we look at technology, and there is no denying that phenomenon. There are lots of ways blockchain may help different types of industries and it is only a matter of time before ordinary people and citizens around the world benefit from it, too. But let\u2019s talk about how it could potentially help the Health Care System.\nToday we can\u2019t say that the health care system is at its best. It has lots of inefficiencies, not to mention its high cost. And blockchain technology might just offer something great to help its system. But no one can promise how fast blockchain can deliver that. But the sure thing is, blockchain could provide consistency of data since it is append-only, security in its system being impossible to tamper, quicker transactions or data-recording and ownable decentralized data without the need for third parties. People will learn to trust the system more, even see and own their data.\nBlockchain may be confusing because of its technicalities, but one way of making people embrace this innovation is to make them care for it by making it part of their daily lives. And it might well start with health care.",

        "raw_content": "Cuba solidarity organizers to meet in Seattle\nWritten by Cheryl LaBash\nThe National Network on Cuba, a U.S.-Cuba umbrella organization that promotes solidarity with revolutionary Cuba, has scheduled its 2017 national gathering in Seattle for Oct. 21-22. The Saturday and Sunday NNOC meetings will be held in the Washington State Labor Council building, 321 16th Ave. S, Seattle, at the junction with South Jackson Street.\nThe hosting member organizations \u2014 Seattle/Cuba Friendship Committee and the U.S. Women and Cuba Collaboration \u2014 plan a public rally at the New Hope Baptist Church, 124 21st Ave., Seattle, on Saturday evening, Oct. 21.\nThis meeting comes at a critical time for anyone alarmed by the warmongering and interventionist words coming out of the White House. It will provide an opportunity to speak up against the genocidal U.S. blockade of Cuba, the continued restrictions on travel to the island and occupation of Guant\u00e1namo by the U.S. naval base and notorious prison.\nSome popular organizations have shown support for normalization of U.S. relations with Cuba. For example, at its July convention, the Washington State Labor Council passed a resolution to end the U.S. blockade of Cuba, joining other labor organizations in this call. (tinyurl.com/y8avsf7c)\nOrganizations and individuals can amplify their voices by asking their city council or state legislature to pass resolutions or make other official statements like those done in Hartford, Conn., Helena, Mont., Sacramento, Calif., and elsewhere (to view a model resolution, see tinyurl.com/ybyl7qjq).\nAlthough only member organizations can vote, visitors who are interested in learning more about Cuba and NNOC activities are welcome to attend the Seattle meeting. There is a sliding scale registration fee for all attendees.\nMore in this category: \u00ab Eurasian council plans joint projects with Cuba and Thailand Panama First Lady Brings Humanitarian Aid for Cubans \u00bb",

It\u2019s non-binding \u2013 that is, the mediator cannot order anyone to do anything \u2013 but it can produce final results that often are better and more fair than what results if the dispute goes to litigation and gets decided by a judge or a jury. This is because, in mediation, the parties themselves control the outcome: They negotiate a resolution that almost never gives either side all of what it wanted, but which is acceptable to both sides and final, without the uncertainty and time delays that can occur with appeals after a final judgment in a trial.\nDo I have to file a lawsuit to get to mediation?\nMediation does not require a lawsuit. It can be used to resolve internal conflicts in companies and organizations of all types, as well as disputes between individuals or individuals and companies.\nWhatever type of dispute you may have, mediation can be a very cost-effective way to resolve that dispute without burning bridges or starting a lawsuit or, if you\u2019re already in a lawsuit, mediation can be an excellent way to get the litigation settled once and for all on terms agreeable to you.\nPlease contact us to discuss Mr. Dalton\u2019s mediation practice and his availability to serve as a mediator for your dispute.",

Without God\u2019s spark in you, you would no longer be living flesh. You would cease to be if God\u2019s ember were to go out completely.\nHaving God\u2019s spark in you is what makes you human. You are created with this internal burning ember which is the key to enjoying all this life has for you and living your life to its fullest.\nYou were born with all this power and potential if only you were allowed by family, peers, and society to fully fan the flames of your God spark and release it in all its glory.\nOnce you begin to awaken to see there is much more to this life than you could have possibly imagined, you become aware of God\u2019s spark in you. Even if the idea of your having a \u201cGod spark\u201d is uncomfortable because you are not cozy with the word, idea, or concept of \u201cGod,\u201d it is still there. Without it, your lifeless body would collapse onto the floor.\nThis God spark is your connection to the infinite source of all love and life allowing you instant access all knowledge (known and unknown) unrestrained by time and space as we (our living bodies and awareness) are.\nThere is a growing body of scientific evidence which supports the idea of the God spark, which you should investigate on your own if you so desire.\nHidden within your heart is the God spark which enables you to access infinite love and wisdom. It may be difficult for you to fathom or believe it, but nonetheless, it is there. Even if ever so tiny, it continues to burn, if you are alive.\nIn what I have referred to for many years as The Greatest Conspiracy, \u201csociety\u201d controlled by the \u201cpowers that be,\u201d is doing everything possible to prevent your fanning the flames of the God spark within you.\nYou probably think you are just a human being trying to make the best of this life until you die and nothing more. Even so, there is a part of you who yearns for something more. This is the still small voice of God\u2019s spark in you, yearning for release. If you\u2019re like most of us, you disregard your desires for a far better life as childish fantasy, brush away the idea, and settle back into the slavery of humanity.\nYou have an inner knowingness that your life was meant for something more than the life you\u2019ve been living. You know just like everyone else, yet you are also aware of things that come easier for you than other people, and you notice this about others. It\u2019s as if we all have come to this planet with innate skills and abilities which come naturally to us and make each of us unique.\nOften, if you listen to the greatest minds of our time, they have at various times referred to a source from without themselves where they received the most original thought(s) which led them to fantastic ideas, discoveries, creations, and inventions.\nThe God spark has been attributed as the source of authentic creativity, drawing on information which is not available to the masses.\nDeep inside you resides your unique purpose, message, passion, and mission (PMPM) waiting to be embodied by you and released to the world, while you are blessed with the desired of your heart. The reward for your courageously answering the call.\nWhile you may not realize it, the God spark is growing amidst all humanity as we enter a new evolutionary age of the human being.\nNot only is the God spark growing, but you may notice a growing population of terrestrial angels who also possess the angelic spark besides.\nThe world is changing, and so are you.\nAuthor davidmastersadminPosted on November 8, 2018 November 14, 2018 Categories BlogTags awareness, connection with source, connection with the creator, god spark, heart connection, heart consciousness, seat of wisdomLeave a comment on God\u2019s Spark in You\nLoving How to Communicate in Love\nHeartfelt communication can make the difference between sweet love and love crisis in love and romance. How you share those most important issues any normal couple faces amidst your love life makes all the difference in love and loving. How to communicate in love with compassion is the doorway leading to the next level in your love\u2019s exponential potential.\nDr. Harville Hendrix and Dr. Helen LaKelly Hunt created a loving technique which helps you understand how to communicate in love and relationships called the Imalgo Dialogue or \u201csafe conversation.\u201d This is a process of moving through communicative exchange between two people which engenders loving how to communicate in love.\nHere is a basic structure you can follow to experience what it is like to engage in the loving communication model.\nLet\u2019s say your partner has something important to say to you. If you want to use this safe conversation model to have a deeper level of connection and communication with your partner, oversimplified, it would go something, like this:\nAllow your partner to tell his or her story.\n2. That\u2019s interesting. What else?\nNow, you\u2019re inviting your partner to delve deeper into their story.\n3. How does that make you feel?\nThis is safely inviting your partner to share how they feel, which is often overlooked in conversation, unless it is exposed when negative communication styles erupt emotionally.\n4. Is there more?\nLet\u2019s face it, we\u2019re all a little protective about how we feel. This is a safely guarded spot in our heart, where we hide our feelings. Being invited by your partner to express any underlying, deeper emotion, is not only increasing your connection, it also enables you to examine and rationalize what might be underneath why you are feeling the way you\u2019re feeling.\n5. Let me see if I\u2019ve got that.\nThis is when you restate your partner\u2019s story, and how they feel about the issue at hand in your own words, trying to see it from his or her point of view, including how he or she feels about it.\n6. Is that right?\nThis invites your partner to make any corrections to your attempt to understand his or her point of view. Let hi or her correct you, then repeat go back to step 5. Repeat as necessary, until your partner indicates that you have a good understanding of his or her perspective and feelings regarding the topic at hand.\nThis introduces a loop back to step 4 which might appear to be redundant but actually, your partner has often uncovered more about the topic of this discussion, discovered new information, and found links to other emotional issues from the past. There may be new information to share.\nWhen all is said and done, you can lovingly let your partner know,\n\u201cI see how that make sense. And understanding that, I see that it could make you feel\u2026\u201d fully supporting him or her without interrupting, challenging, or judgment. This is compassion in action.\nYou can find out more about the Imalgo Dialogue in Getting the Love You Want, A Guide for Couples by Dr. Harville Hendrix and Dr. Helen LaKelly Hunt.\nAuthor davidmastersadminPosted on January 30, 2018 Categories BlogTags communication, connection, couples communication, heart connection, love and relationships, love and romanceLeave a comment on Loving How to Communicate in Love\nFear of Abandonment in Love\nIn many relationships, fear of abandonment can find ways to thwart your attempts to find love, no matter how you try. Dealing with one who has fear of abandonment issues, whether this applies to you, or someone you\u2019re in love with.\nIn most, if not all, cases, fear of abandonment can be traced back to one\u2019s childhood. It is often linked with a mother or primary caregiver who was not there to provide the proper nurturing, caring and attentive support to the child. Regardless of the reason for the lack of nurturing, whether the primary had to work, or had personal issues or unavoidable circumstances to properly love and connect with this little baby, this young child grew up insecure.\nThis insecurity could express itself as either avoidance or anxiety.\nIn the person who expresses his or her fear of abandonment as avoidance, he (avoidance if far more common among men) or she will likely retreat when his or her partner is crying out for love and connection. When witnessing his or her partner expressing his or her need, the avoider will make a bee-line to a safe place.\nCommonly, he or she will retreat to the office, or some other location deemed as a \u201csafety zone,\u201d and so it is not uncommon for avoiders to become workaholics.\nAs a child, the avoider found self-sufficiency and finding comfort in solitude his or her coping mechanism in dealing with a primary caregiver who did not give them the love, attention, and support they so desperately needed in those young and formative early years.\nIf the person who was raised with abandonment issues found reward from crying out or clamoring for attention, then this will likely carry over into adulthood. The anxious person carrying fear of abandonment issues will likely be stirring the pot in an attempt to get the attention they seek, even though this obviously is an ineffective method of getting them what they want.\nIn either case, whether they are operating from a place of avoidance or anxiety, both of these individuals are desperately in search of the love, safety and security they were denied at a very tender, young age.\nSince we are often drawn and attracted to someone like our parents, you will have someone in your life that triggers the abandonment threshold which throws you into a state of panic or fight or flight response.\nThis emotional state of emergency disconnects the part of the brain which is reserved for rational thought as they follow their knee-jerk instincts which seek to protect them from further abandonment. So the avoider retreats and the anxious person who fears abandonment pitches a fit because the avoider feel safe in seclusion and the anxious person gets attention (even though it is negative) when they act up.\nThis reactivity does not foster a healthy environment for creating a congruent connection between two people. In fact, it does just the opposite, it keeps these two people from having a positive, loving and supportive relationship, which is just the opposite of what they so long to have. But for them, it has not become about connection, it has been reduced to its simplest form of survival, so they react and prevent connection from happening.\nAnd there\u2019s a good chance that you are either one of these, either suffering from avoidance or anxiety paradigms, and you are also in a relationship with one, and there\u2019s an even greater chance that if you are in a relationship with someone also suffering from fear of abandonment, that your partnered with someone who is the other type.\nIn most fear of abandonment couples, one is the avoider and the other is anxious.\nWhat can I do, if I\u2019m in a relationship with someone who has fear of abandonment issues?\nGood question. Thankfully, there is a cure for what ails the person who is dealing with fear of abandonment issues.\nThe person who is suffering from abandonment and has embraced avoidance as his or her coping mechanism wants love and connection but has no idea about how to get it. He or she retreats and expects you to leave.\nThe key, here, is to do exactly the opposite of what he or she expects. Don\u2019t disconnect yourself, instead, be totally supportive, reach out and touch the heart of the avoider in such a way that he or she longed for in childhood.\nThat\u2019s right. Treat him or her like a baby, hold him or her in your arms, look him or her in the eyes and say, \u201cI am here for you. I know you feel like running away, right now, and that\u2019s okay, but I will be right here for you. I love you. I really, really love you. I am here for you and I will never leave nor forsake you. You can depend on me.\u201d\nThe results may not be immediate, but as you gain the trust of the avoider and he or she begins to realize that you are there for comfort, support, safety, security and benevolently offering your loving kindness, and he or she sees strength, consistency, and dependability in your love, he or she will open up.\nThis might be the first time he or she has ever felt safe.\nThe anxious person suffering from fear of abandonment needs the same thing. Needs to know he or she will not be judged or ridiculed, desires to be loved, accepted and embraced in love.\nWhen he or she is acting out, this can look like a rant or a fit of rage, but in reality, it is only this person\u2019s inner child crying out for love and connection.\nLikewise, instead of berating or getting defensive, make eye contact in a loving and non-threatening manner, just as you would a little baby, reach out and hold him or her, let him or her know that they are loved unconditionally.

This little 10 ounce power source has its own neurological network, not only feels but processes information seconds before the brain.\nWhen any two humans interact with each other, the two heart-fields connect prior to any word(s) spoken and set the tone for communication, and if physical contact is made, energy from one heart can be transferred to the other body via the physical connection. This is the secret ingredient to healing modalities, such as the laying on of hands healing.\nFor years, scientists relegated love emotions to the brain process. It is now known that the heart is the seat of soulful love-based emotions also. No longer simply disregarded as a metaphorical reference in the playgrounds of artists and philosophers, hard science is documenting data leading to the conclusion that the heart is the center of the central nervous system and is many times more powerful than the brain.\nWhen you have a intuitive feeling there is a good chance this originates in the heart, though the brain does mimic the same feeling the analytical brain is more likely to base feeling on fear-based emotions. This gives us insight into the struggle between the heart and the brain and is the cause of a great deal of confusion because sometimes it\u2019s so difficult to know the origin of an intuitive hit.\nYour heart can sense energetic fields within proximity, processes, decodes and translates the information and sends the results to the brain, while also sensing and responding to other external data which may result in more of a precognitive result. Like a radio wave scanner, the heart is scanning the spectrum of frequencies available including positive, neutral and negative frequencies.\nThe conflict of thoughts and emotions exchanged between the heart and the brain is cause for not only unclear thinking but also releases stress hormones which are detrimental to an otherwise healthy state.\nPrecisely, what about love? What impact can you, just one person, have on the world around you by engaging in connecting with your heart source?\nNow that you know the heart is also a thinking machine, if you were to increase your awareness and connection with your heart, you could actually start to think with your heart as an alternative to thinking with your head. It\u2019s impressive to understand there truly is a heart consciousness and it can be tapped into and affect our lives and the world around us.\nThe longer you can maintain a state of love, the more you can influence and affect your world because the energetic field that is transmitted via the love frequency emitted by the heart affects all living things within proximity to the loving heart. The electromatic love energy from a healthy heart can communicate with a failing heart and transmit signals to promote healthy heart hormones returning it to a more healthy state, in effect jump-starting the heart of another. This influential heart energy is increased exponentially when combined with a physical connection.\nA healthy love-centered state of consciousness promotes harmony within the body and all of its various components, while also positively enhancing the healthy energies of hearts nearby.\nMore awareness of heart\u2019s power to influence and manipulate and the world reveals that the heart\u2019s energetic field not only affects \u2013 but changes \u2013 the molecular, atomic structure and DNA of the world around us thanks to emerging research in physics. Alternatively, the brain does not possess the power to accomplish this miraculous feat.\nWhile the brain is a powerful storage facility and processor, the heart is a transmitter, can be laser focused and may be able to be transmitted beyond its 10 ft. energetic radius. You may conclude that your brain processes and manages your response to external data, while your heart literally has the ability to change the world.\nSo, how can we affect our world for real change?\nYour heart\u2019s electromagnetic field is powerful enough to change the world around you and it does. Here\u2019s where the most important caveat comes in: With great power comes great responsibility.\nWhat you think sets the frequency your heart transmits to the world around you. Your heart\u2019s ability to influence the world can be used for good or for evil. This is to say that whatever state your thoughts maintain, effectively tuning your heart\u2019s frequency for a period of time, actually changes the world (molecular, atomic, DNA) around you. If it remains in a negative state, its affects are negative.\nSince you don\u2019t want to be a negative generator, powering that which is negative, it\u2019s of prime importance to focus our heart\u2019s energies on positive love-based frequencies. This is the problem with standing or fighting against what you don\u2019t want, because you\u2019re actually rearranging the world to create more of what you don\u2019t want.\nInstead maintaining a positive love state, by endorsing and supporting the things that you do want, changes the world around you accordingly.\nYour heart is a powerful weapon, if combined in concert with likeminded individuals emitting similar frequencies could be the most powerful weapon conceivable.\nThink about it. Consider having a heart-talk with that other side of you.\nAuthor davidmastersadminPosted on February 14, 2017 Categories BlogTags heart connection, heart conscious, heart transmitter, power of love1 Comment on The Most Powerful Weapon is Love",

        "raw_content": "It was cool technology more than 3000 years ago when the Chinese developed the cooking method of using steam. It didn\u2019t change much until the 17th century with the invention of the safety valve. In the 1950\u2019s the French acclaimed the famous pressure cooker that became the symbol of kitchen modernization. The 1980\u2019s brought the first electric steam cookers. Today\u2019s steam ovens are the hottest and coolest of products with many benefits and features that include healthier eating.\nSteaming lets the foods cook in their own juices and minimizes the loss of nutrients and vitamins. Flavonoids are an organic antioxidant compound that provides the pigments that give plants th eir color. Studies have mentioned that the level of flavonoids lost after steaming fresh broccoli was 11% compared to 47% when pressure cooked and 97% lost when microwaved. When boiling vegetables, the loss of vitamin C, vitamin B1 and mineral salts that dissolve in water are lost when the water is dumped. The texture of vegetables and fruits is retained better in the steam oven.\nIf you were to use one of the new steam convection oven products now available on the market for nothing but your vegetable cooking, it would be a big heath benefit. Fish and seafood are particularly well-suited for steam cooking, and are easier to prepare than traditional methods. Steam cooking also negates the need for cooking oil, fat or butter resulting in lighter and healthier meals.\nEuropean home cooks embraced the technology of steam ovens many decades ago, so this product is a standard fixture in many European homes. Miele has offered their steam oven in this country for more than a decade, and deserve to be considered a major factor in the growth of this category. The functions available go beyond the basics of vegetables and fruits, rice and grains, fish, eggs, legumes and meats. These ovens can be used for defrosting, reheating, canning, blanching and full meal preparation. You can even disinfect baby bottles\u2013 think autoclave for disinfecting medical equipment. There really are no drawbacks to this product as it is intended to be used.\nThe popularity of steam ovens has brought more choice to the market place. Ideally, a built-in product is the best choice, but counter top models are available, as well. From a design standpoint, the built in product is gaining in popularity, as it can be placed above a matching traditional single wall oven and used as a second oven. This is beneficial if there is a space or budget limitation as you increase the versatility of the kitchen. You will see choices offered by Sharp, Viking, Thermador and others.\nWolf and Thermador have introduced new convection steam ovens that have the added feature of thermal convection heat. The convection heat adds the ability to prepare meat dishes that will brown and have the appearance you will not get with just steam cooking. The Wolf convection steam oven includes a temperature probe further enhancing the versatility of the product. In addition to some of the features and functions already mentioned, these products include all the pans and trays needed to be used most effectively \u2013 no need for additional cookware. You can bake breads, buns, cakes and pastries from fresh, par-baked or frozen products using the auto steam-bake function. A nice, shiny crust is formed during auto steam bake. Yeast and puff pastries do not need to be brushed with egg yolk, oil or cream. Slow roast is another mode convenience using the temperature probe and is similar to the slow cooker you are likely familiar with. The keep-warm function may be sufficient for many customers to use in place of a warming drawer saving space. There are many more additional features and benefits to consider.\nBe cool with steam and recommend the steam oven category to you clients. Be cool and take advantage of any of the manufactures\u2019 showroom live events and learn more first hand.",

        "raw_content": "Economist Paul Krugman took another look at the 2017 tax cuts in The New York Times Tuesday, arguing that they are \u201ceven worse than you\u2019ve heard.\u201d\nMany critics of the tax bill have complained that while it encouraged multinational corporations to bring home billions of dollars in overseas profits, much of that cash has been used for stock buybacks rather than the long-term, economy-strengthening investments that were promised. But Krugman says that complaint falls short since, in his view, very little money has been brought home by U.S. companies. Even worse, the tax cuts may be lowering overall national income, leaving most Americans worse off in the long run.\nOn the first point, Krugman argues that the surge earlier this year in overseas dividends paid by foreign subsidiaries to their parent companies in the U.S. was little more than illusion produced by accounting entries in companies\u2019 books. After moving money around internally, each company\u2019s overall balance sheet \u201chasn\u2019t changed at all,\u201d Krugman writes, and there\u2019s no reason to think the accounting maneuvers have meaningfully affected the investment outlook of any given firm. The economist cites data from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, which shows little change in net capital inflow to the U.S. in the wake of the tax cuts.\nOn the second point, Krugman argues that the tax cuts produced a significant windfall for foreign investors in U.S. companies, with money that was previously being collected by the federal government now flowing overseas. Roughly a third of U.S. corporate profits are claimed by foreigners, which means roughly a third of the corporate tax cut is now leaving the country. The size of the outflow is so large that it could negate any positive GDP growth resulting from the tax cuts. Given this effect, \u201cthe tax cut probably made America poorer, not richer,\u201d Krugman writes.\nRead Krugman\u2019s full analysis.",

        "raw_content": "China is the key to beating climate change\nOPINION | With bold policies, the Asian superpower can steer itself away from coal and give direction to government policymakers around the world, writes Darius Snieckus\nInspiriting as this year\u2019s Energy Transition Outlook (ETO) report from DNV GL was \u2014 its projections see electricity\u2019s share of total global energy demand more than doubling to 45% by mid-century, with renewables making up 80% of production \u2014 it also contained the ultimate inconvenient truth.\nThe planet is nowhere near shifting with sufficient speed from its consumption of fossil fuels to renewables to forestall the most catastrophic impacts of climate change. On current trajectories, the Paris Agreement target will be missed by a wide margin, however bullish the build-out forecasts for \u201chigh fractions\u201d of wind and solar power to soon be supplanting that from oil, gas and coal.\nThat message was underlined in this week\u2019s landmark report from the IPCC, which warns that to protect the world from the direst impacts of global warming renewables will have to account for 70-85% of global power supplies by 2050, while coal\u2019s share will need to be near zero.\nCoal is clearly being driven into extinction, but it is not going without a fight. A report published by Greenpeace, Sierra Club and Coalswarm earlier this year confirmed a contradictory picture: the number of coal-fired power plants built worldwide has indeed fallen sharply over the past two years \u2014 commissioning of new plants dropped 41% while construction rates worldwide plummeted by 73%. But in Asia \u2014 in some part arguably by industrial-evolutionary rights \u2014 building of new coal capacity is carrying on unhindered, with 85% of new capacity under development in the world\u2019s top 20 coal-producing countries in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region.\nChina, of course, leads the APAC greenhouse-gas emissions table, stoked by a construction spree that brought almost 700GW of coal-fired plant on line during a breakneck run in 2016-2017. The added CO2 emissions can in no way be sustainable, not least in the land of the 'Airpocalypse'; and nor is the economics. Output from the Asian superpower\u2019s existing coal fleet already far exceeds domestic power demand \u2014 making every additional plant a potential multi-billion-dollar capital expenditure sinkhole.\nBringing the full force of renewables power production to bear on a \"faster, further\" global energy transition will also be China\u2019s lead to take, underpinned by a world-beating wind and solar fleet, 168.5GW and 130.06GW, respectively at the last count.\nThe main levers that can be pulled to accelerate away from fossil fuels, as was underlined in a recent Stockholm Environment Institute Asia Centre study, are all instantly relevant to the Chinese situation: scrapping subsidies to oil, gas and coal; swapping feed-in-tariffs for auctions and promoting an open market to overcome \u201cone of the biggest obstacles to economic development, the cost of energy\u201d \u2013 which would be particularly revolutionary for many Southeast Asian countries where power costs are disproportionately high due to issues of maintaining baseload whatever the levels of electricity demand.\nIt is worth remembering that China topped the EY renewables attractiveness index for the third time in a row this year. So, by metrics, there is progress. But more heartening perhaps is to think \u2014 on both the renewables-industry and climate-change fronts \u2014 of the impact on the global energy industry of the nation\u2019s planned policy shift to wind and solar auctions as soon as 2019. This is bound to radically reshape the domestic market structure, and fundamentally influence the ongoing internationalisation ambitions of many of China\u2019s largest developers and OEMs.\n\u201cIn China, you can have hundreds of competitors within the first hours of going live. Ideas are not important in China,\u201d as Ma Huateng, founder and chief executive of investment holding company Tencent, which has the highest market-cap in Asia, notes. \u201cExecution is.\u201d The next decades will tell how far this philosophy travels.\nDarius Snieckus is Editor-in-Chief of Recharge",

        "title": "The Wonderful World of Louis Armstrong: Hanging Out With Louis Armstrong - FIVE HOUR Voice of America Interview Now Online!",
        "raw_content": "Hanging Out With Louis Armstrong - FIVE HOUR Voice of America Interview Now Online!\nOh, the internet can be an infuriating place (I'm starting to dread signing on to my beloved Facebook as we get deeper into election season here in the U.S.), but every so often, something comes along that makes you go, \"Aha! That's why they invented the internet!\"\nSuch a thing is the mind-blowing contents of the Willis Covoner Collection being regularly transferred and uploaded by my pal Maristella Feustle as part of the University of North Texas's Digital Library. If you don't know who Willis Conover was, you should (Doug Ramsey's Wall Street Journal article anad this NPR piece are good places to start). As the Voice of America's resident jazz disc jockey, Conover broadcast the sounds of American freedom around the world, giving many fans their first exposure to jazz. But Conover also interviewed musicians, edited together documentaries and even hosted special programs from festivals such as Newport.\nConover's collection included 22,000 sound recordings--with many of Conover's original broadcasts on reel-to-reel tape---and ended up at the University of North Texas in 1997. There, the tapes could have sat quietly on the shelves, waiting for researchers with intimate knowledge of how to operate reel-to-reel equipment to come in and give them a spin. Instead, Maristella sought out funding and received a grant from the Grammy Foundation to not just digitize the tapes, but to make them available online.\nThis was cause for celebration in the jazz community, as fans flocked to the UNT Digital Library website in September to hear the first batch of uploads, including interviews with Milt Gabler, Benny Goodman, Art Tatum, Duke Ellington, George Avakian, Eddie Condonand others, as well as music by Bill Evans, Dizzy Gillespie at Birdland and more. (Seriously, those are all working links--take a day off and check them out!)\nOf course, Willis Conover and the Voice of America loved Louis Armstrong, so there was some examples of Louis in the first batch Maristella uploaded. I had been meaning to write about them for some time but the combination of my \"Music of Louis Armstrong\" Queens College course and the arrival of baby daughter Lily put the blog on the back burner. Still, it's not too late to hear a reel Louis made for Joe Glaser in 1959 after recording \"Uncle Satchmo's Lullaby\" for the film La Paloma, or part one and part two of a rollicking interview with Conover, Woody Herman, Barney Bigard and Bobby Hackett in 1955.\nBut as they say, better late than never, because I'm writing today to report some of the most exciting Louis Armstrong-related news of the year. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to hang out with Louis Armstrong for FIVE HOURS, listening to him tell stories about his life, discuss race frankly, give dietary advice, make observations about living \"like an athlete\" and most importantly, spinning his favorite records?\nWell, if this sounds remotely like your idea of a good time, call out of work and spend the next five hours on the UNT's Digital Library site.\nOn a personal note, I've been intimately familiar with this material for years. George Avakian found a copy in his basement about ten years ago, had it copied, made a copy for David Ostwald and David Ostwald made me a copy in 2008. It was life changing; I quoted it heavily in my book, including the very first quote before the introduction. I proceeded to share excerpts on my blog in its early days and ended up making copies of it it various Armstrong scholars and musicians who've asked for it over the years. When I started working for the Louis Armstrong House Museum in 2009, I was happy to discover that Louis kept a copy of the program on a set of acetate discs, which were transferred to CD years ago. Anytime a researcher came and didn't know where to start, I'd direct them to the Voice of America series. Hell, I even played chunks of it for my class just last month.\nBut that was just me and my little world at Queens College. Now, thanks to Maristella and the Grammy Foundation, anyone, any place, any time can listen to this series of interviews and feel like they, too, are hanging out with Pops.\nHere's a little backstory on the program before I start dispensing with the links. Anytime I've referenced this in my own writings as an \"interview,\" Ostwald gently scolds me, reminding me that an interview is a \"two-way\" occurrence. On the five Voice of America hours, you only hear one voice: Louis Armstrong. Of course, Willis Conover's presence is felt; you can hear Louis occasionally pause, as if someone's telling him he's off track or to save that story for later. Judging by this photo (which I'm assuming is from the July 1956 sessions), Conover was right next to Louis, armed with LPs:\nObviously, Conover put in the time and dedication before hand to select the records with Louis and have the records and personnel at hand for Armstrong's introductions. But for all intents and purposes, this is Louis Armstrong, Disc Jockey and Jazz genius.\nThe five hours were recorded in early July 1956, while Louis was in Washington D.C. and just before he went to New York to perform the big Lewisohn Stadium concert with Leonard Bernstein and members of the New York Philharmonic on July 16 (he references it in the final hour). 1956 might be my single favorite one of Louis's \"later years\" so for me, this is prime time. Thus, the first time I heart him brag about playing better horn at that point than any other point in his career, I knew I had found the opening quote of my book.\nOkay, okay, enough from me, let's get to the audio! I'll post the links first and then a brief description of each part.\nAfter the opening At the Crescendo version of \"When It's Sleepy Time Down South,\" Louis dives into tales of growing up in New Orleans, notably the impact of hearing Joe Oliver at such a young age. \"New Orleans Function\" is played in conjunction with Armstrong's memories of the New Orleans funerals. He then discusses King Oliver in depth, a fascinating segment where Armstrong laments that Oliver should have let Armstrong take more solos and play more lead on those 1923 recordings. Armstrong says he gladly would have let Oliver get the credit and the extra record sales but alas, it wasn't to be.\nPart One also features stories of Armstrong's days with Fletcher Henderson, including the importance of hearing Vic d'Appolito and B.A. Rolfe at the Roseland while with Henderson (there's also the hilarious story of Armstrong vomiting on Henderson during his farewell party). Bessie Smith makes an appearance (Louis calling Fred Longshaw \"Bradshaw\"), as does Lil Hardin. You'll also hear the true backstory behind the title \"Muskrat Ramble\" (plus Louis's first claim as the tune's composer). Louis skips ahead to \"I Can't Give Anything But Love\" and tells a rarely heard story of playing it for King Oliver in New York in 1929. The first part ends with \"Royal Garden Blues,\" taken from Ambassador Satch, released just a few months before this Voice of America interview.\nI've already blogged about the 90th anniversary of the first Hot Five session and just this week, I installed a new exhibit at the Louis Armstrong House Museum on the Hot Fives so this second hour is perfect as it features nothing but Louis spinning the music of the Hot Fives and telling stories in between each selection. Heaven! Armstrong tells a lot of his favorite stories--Johnny Dodds getting tongue-tied on the first attempt on \"Gut Bucket Blues,\" the \"dropping the paper\" story on \"Heebie Jeebies\" and more. There's also some deeper subjects, such as Louis's still simmering resentment at Earl Hines and how Hines always improvised new solos on \"West End Blues\" when he was with the All Stars from 1948-1951 and how his new solos always paled next to the 1928 original. There's also stories of Erskine Tate, Don Redman, Fate Marable (where Louis first composed \"Weather Bird\") and more.\nPeople always ask, \"What did Louis Armstrong listen to?\" and this hour gives us a glimpse as it features Armstrong playing other people's records. I'm assuming because of Conover's jazz slant, Armstrong was asked to stick to his favorite jazz recordings because any list without Enrico Caruso, Guy Lombardo and others of that stripe is incomplete (see Louis's 1968 appearance on Desert Island Discs for another example of Louis selecting his favorite records, though on that one, he mostly sticks to his own!). Here's what Louis picked and discussed for the Voice of America:\nArmstrong closes with the Gordon Jenkins arrangement of \"Bye and Bye\" where the choir pays tribute to many the deceased jazz musicians. I always thought it was a bizarre touch but Louis obviously took it seriously and used here at the end of the hour, it's a nice tribute.\nThis is my favorite of the four hours and again, if you've read my book, my blog or my liner notes, some of this will sound awfully familiar. It's kind of a hodgepodge theme, Conover probably cobbling these various different subjects together because they didn't quite fit any of the other \"themed\" hours. After \"Boff Boff,\" Louis goes off for about six minutes on how he's playing better than ever, the importance of showmanship and how he detests vacations and prefers to \"live like an athlete.\"\nThen, after \"Mahogany Hall Stomp,\" Louis discusses race, something he rarely did in public. He uses his time to mostly scold his race for not sticking by him and other artists like Nat \"King\" Cole, saying that there were only a few African-Americans on top in the music business and there might be a few more if his people stuck together. It's really a deep topic and Louis does say African-Americans are beginning to \"get with it\" a little more but I think he was just saying it; he'd continue to lose his African-American audience in years to come, even after he spoke out against injustice in Little Rock in 1957. Armstrong even plays \"Shine\" and \"Black and Blue,\" naming them as two songs African-Americans criticized him for playing because of the titles but Armstrong proudly plays them and implores the audience to \"listen to all that music.\"\nAfter such a serious discussion, part four ends with Armstrong the Dietician, whipping out a copy of his \"Lose Weight the Satchmo Way\" diet chart and spending at least five minutes going over his health regime in detail, with special mentions of Swiss Kriss. To me, the beautiful thing is he's not doing it for laugh; he really feels like he's found the secret to a healthy life and can't wait to share it with this worldwide audience.\nThe final part is something of a \"best-of\" Armstrong's 1947-1956 peak All Stars years, opening with the 1954 Decca \"Struttin' with Some Barbecue\" and going back to the epic 1947 Town Hall performance of \"Rockin' Chair.\" Before \"C'st Si Bon,\" Louis tells a funny story about a drunk asking Louis who played the solo on it, thinking it couldn't have been Louis because he was \"an old man.\" In the story, Louis mentions \"a chick\" who ran the drunk out of the room, which is how I reported it in my book, but Louis also told this story a few times on his private tapes and on those tellings, he made it clear that the \"chick\" was none other than Billie Holiday! Don't know why he omitted her name here.\nAfter the glorious \"Blue Turning Grey Over Your,\" Louis plays a selection of tunes from the film High Society, which was released in theaters on July 17, about a week after this interview. This stuff was brand new at the time, so Louis plays the opening overture, \"Now You Has Jazz\" with Bing Crosby and \"High Society Calypso.\" (Listen to Louis burp after \"Calypso,\" laugh, and blame it on \"that caviar!\")\nBy this point, Louis was coming to the end of the glory years recording for George Avakian on Columbia so it makes sense to follow with his big hit, \"Mack the Knife,\" and the nine-minute \"St. Louis Blues\" from Louis Armstrong Plays W.C. Handy.\nAfter that selection, Louis wraps everything up, mentioning Conover and saying he had been there for a week recording these broadcasts. He then thanks everyone he can think of from around the world, including Hugues Panassie in France, Clara Gunderloch in Germany, Montmarte soul food chef Leroy Haynes and members of the British Royal Family Louis had just entertained during his trip to England in May 1956. It's a touching ending and a definitive punctuation mark on Armstrong's \"Ambassadorial\" status of the time and why he was so popular with the Voice of America audience.\nSo there you have it, five hours hanging out with Louis Armstrong, listening to him spin his favorite records and tell stories. It's just about as close as we'll get in 2015 to hanging out with Pops (the closest you'll get is by making an appointment with me at the Armstrong Archives on the Queens College campus to hear Louis's own private tapes, complete with cursing, dirty jokes and more. Louis's tapes aren't available online so come to New York and listen!). I don't think Armstrong fans can thank Maristella Feustle, the Grammy Foundation and the University of North Texas enough for all of their efforts in getting this material preserved and made available online. It's the best Christmas gift we'll get this year and for years to come. Bravo!\nA final note: At the Armstrong Archives, we have an organic chemistry book from 1964, Interpretation of the Ultraviolet Spectra of Natural Products, written by A. I. Scott of Yale University and dedicated to Armstrong and Conover \"for the hours of pleasure\" Conover's broadcasts and Armstrong's music gave him \"during the writing of this book.\" Pops and Willis touched everyone! Now, time to listen to those five hours yet again\u2026...",

The Kenyan solar home system (SHS) category is considered the most competitive by far, and due to its history and heritage, one of the most developed, albeit primarily in the informal sector. Today, there are over 350,000 solar home systems across Kenya and the market is still growing at more than 15% a year.\nWhat does this mean for you, the consumer?\nVariety of solar options for rural households\nChoice: With so much to choose from and new products, services, and business models being launched, how can you evaluate what kind of solution would work best for your household needs?\nNot only is there something for every budget but big names such as Safaricom, Total, Dayliff (Davis & Shirtliff), Sollatek and the IFC with its \u201cLighting Africa\u201d initiative, all have something to offer. Do you go with the brand that is backing the product or do you evaluate the category of product and its suitability for your home?\nLet\u2019s start with what are the categories of \u201csolar products\u201d and then take a closer look at each brand\u2019s offerings. The products available in the market can be clustered broadly into the following:\n1. \u201cSHS in a box\u201d or \u201cLighting kit in box\u201d\n2. Stand alone solar lanterns\n3.

This particular one, sells for somewhere around Kshs 15,000 (~$175) and includes a motion sensor security light as well all the components required for installation.\nThey are available in three main sizes \u2013 small, medium and large \u2013 but keep in mind that since brands like these are social enterprises, they are aimed at the lower income demographic \u2013 and the 15W kit shown above is the \u2018Large\u2019 size but is limited to providing only lights, and will not be able to power a television set or a stereo system. Note also that the battery is not included. Depending on the brand, expect to pay around Kshs 4000 to 6000 extra.\nAn alternate type of kit is the Phillips one shown below, meant for middle-class urban homes as a backup for electricity power cuts. Available at selected Nakumatt supermarkets for Kshs 6,000 ($70), this is one of the most expensive backup solar light kits in the market, however, the elegant design and details such as a wall mounted light switch make it an attractive option for the upwardly mobile home.\nPhilips kit\nThe advantage of this type of complete kit is that all the components are ostensibly designed to work seamlessly together and everything necessary to the system up and running is available in one box. This approach addresses one of the biggest challenges with SHS in Kenya which is the dearth of well-trained fundis (technicians/installers/repairmen) with the experience and knowledge of designing a solar home system.\nThe disadvantage of such a system, however, is that it is limited to the components provided, in that one cannot simply add on and build a larger system. Some of the best-provided homes in off-grid rural locales have extensive installations built up over time to power their entire homestead and numerous electrical appliances \u2013 so when choosing what kind of system to purchase, keep your future needs in mind.\n2. Solar Lanterns:\nTotal sign\nDue to donor-funded support from institutions such as the IFC, whose Lighting Africa initiative offers market research information as well as quality audits on products, the Kenyan market is flooded with a large variety of solar lanterns, both with the ability to charge your mobile phone and without.\nTotal, for example, distributes d.Light\u2019s solar lanterns at its retail petrol stations, while Nakumatt picks and chooses which products it will carry according to the needs of the location their outlets serve. The basic light sold at Total costs Kshs. 999 ($12) while the larger model which allows you to charge your mobile phone as well can go for upwards of Kshs. 3,000.\nPowerpoint at Twiga\nGiven the wide variety and choice available in the Nairobi market, one can choose according to design and price as per one\u2019s preference. However, these solar solutions are limited to a single light and the vast majority of products tend to have the panel either embedded in the light source or attached to it permanently, limiting their flexibility.\nPowerpoint\u2019s outlet in Twiga Towers is one of the few reputable solar specialists specializing in serving the needs of urban Nairobi\u2019s market. As you can see, the range of solar lighting and solar lanterns offers something for everyone. If you\u2019re thinking of something solar for your household, that\u2019s a great place to start your fact finding trip.\nHere, ToughStuff\u2019s ecosystem of products built to work independently around a durable solar panel \u2013 available at Nakumatt \u2013 offers you flexibility in terms of whether you want only a lightweight portable mobile phone charging solution or if you\u2019d prefer a light or both.\n3. (Pay as you go) Mobile Business Models for Solar products: With Safaricom\u2019s launch of the M-Kopa business model, customers now have the choice of paying for a solar product using M-Pesa over an extended period of time. The solar light is from d.light such as that available via Total. Their kit contains 3 bright lights and a mobile charging system, similar to the \u201cKit in a box\u201d described above. The business model is designed to automatically deduct Kshs 40/= ($0.47) from your account in order to use the lights until the point where you own the system. Alternatively, the complete kit can be obtained for Kshs. 15,000 ($175) upfront.\nAnother is Eight19\u2019s Indigo pay as you go solar that seems to be piloting in Kenya. Here they use vouchers or scratch cards to top up your charge rather than directly via the SIM card. This is however still in the pilot stage as the company websites do not yet show a Kenyan outlet.\n4. Solar home systems (SHS): Known colloquially in upcountry locations as \u201csola\u201d, the basic SHS consists of a solar panel, a battery for holding the charge, between 2 to 4 fixtures for holding energy saver bulbs (known informally as \u201csolar lights\u201d) and the requisite wiring. These kits can cost as little as Kshs 10,000 ($118) including installation and tend to be the starting point for many homes seeking modern energy systems.\nFrom here, one can build up to including inverters and larger panels such as the 100W-120W kits popular in Maasailand, that are able to power flat screen Sony Bravia televisions, kitchen appliances and the latest stereo systems in addition to lighting the home inside and out. Colour television and new digital systems require 60W at a minimum in order to work. Such panels alone cost around $200 upwards but prices are very rarely displayed and often negotiable.\nFor a household in Nairobi, an SHS would be the first recommendation. Dayliff is probably one of the most credible brand names, as long as the technology is German. (Be sure to the check the back of the panel to ensure this). Ubbink is a newly launched brand that fundi\u2019s consider to be efficient and high quality. It is manufactured by a Dutch company establishing Kenya\u2019s first solar panel factory in Naivasha and their panels are smaller than average offering higher wattage and more affordable cost due to lack of import duties and transportation. Check them out. Its a commonly held fallacy that physical size of the panel is important.\nDo\u2019s & Don\u2019ts on How to buy an SHS: (also applicable to the other options above)\n* Do find a reputable fundi with references and experience in calculating your power requirements and designing the requisite home system. This is the biggest reason for customer unhappiness with the performance of solar energy.\n* Don\u2019t try to talk to all and sundry and make up a list of components yourself. This is another major reason for inadequate systems that fail to meet customer needs.\n* Do your homework, however. Nairobi\u2019s CBD is the heart of the solar power industry for the entire country and the latest products are seen here first.\n* Don\u2019t go window shopping without a list of minimum requirements on what you wish your SHS to be able to power and for how long.\n* Do have an idea of your estimated budget. For a 3-bedroom house in Nairobi, it\u2019s possible to start as low as $500.\n* Don\u2019t let the salesman confuse you until you simply give up and plunk down the money for the nearest panel. Take the time to think over what you really need to purchase.\n* Do keep in mind that SHS are modular and an experienced fundi can help you figure out your starter kit on which you can keep adding over time as budget permits.\nPhoto and market research courtesy of @nitibhan\nThis entry was posted in IFC, KPLC, Safaricom, SME solutions, solar, Total and tagged solar on January 4, 2013 by bankelele.\n\u2190 Urban Inflation Index December 2012 Kenyan M&A \u2192\nOne thought on \u201cKenyan Consumer Guide on Solar for Homes\u201d\nheroesofthestormbeta.org August 19, 2014 at 6:21 pm",

In the euro area the government deficit to GDP ratio fell from 2.1% in 2015 to 1.5% in 2016, and in the EU28 from 2.4% to 1.7%. In the euro area the government debt to GDP ratio declined from 89.9% at the end of 2015 to 88.9% at the end of 2016, and in the EU28 from 84.5% to 83.2%.\nIn this release, Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union, is providing government deficit and debt data based on figures reported in the second 2017 notification by EU Member States for the years 2013-2016, for the application of the excessive deficit procedure (EDP). This notification is based on the ESA 2010 system of national accounts. This release also includes data on government expenditure and revenue.\nIn 2016, Luxembourg (+1.6%), Malta and Sweden (both +1.1%), Germany (+0.8%), the Czech Republic (+0.7%), Greece and Cyprus (both +0.5%), the Netherlands (+0.4%) and Lithuania (+0.3%) registered a government surplus, while Latvia and Bulgaria reported a government balance. The lowest government deficits as a percentage of GDP were recorded in Estonia (-0.3%), Denmark (-0.6%), Ireland (-0.7%) and Croatia (-0.9%). Three Member States had deficits equal to or higher than 3% of GDP: Spain (-4.5%), France (-3.4%) and Romania (-3.0%).\nAt the end of 2016, the lowest ratios of government debt to GDP were recorded in Estonia (9.4%), Luxembourg (20.8%), Bulgaria (29.0%), the Czech Republic (36.8%), Romania (37.6%) and Denmark (37.7%). Sixteen Member States had government debt ratios higher than 60% of GDP, with the highest registered in Greece (180.8%), Italy (132.0%), Portugal (130.1%), Cyprus (107.1%) and Belgium (105.7%).\nIn 2016, government expenditure in the euro area was equivalent to 47.6% of GDP and government revenue to 46.1%. The figures for the EU28 were 46.3% and 44.7% respectively. In both zones, the government expenditure ratio decreased between 2015 and 2016, while the government revenue ratio decreased in the euro area and increased in the EU28.",

        "raw_content": "Working on some rock castings. Found out the hard way that the molded plaster and the hand-applied plaster absorb the stain differently. Looks like I'm going to have to paint the first layer and then work from there.\nI've also been working on some trees in the evening. Still just at the beginning stages. I will spray paint the whole bunch at one time, trim them down, and then apply the \"leaves\".\nStill working on this canyon. I got out the air brush and spayed on several different light layers of acrylic paint. This covered the staining issues and resulted in a rather nice color variation. I have started mounting rock castings on the next section (just visible to the right in the photo). I still have several more castings to make/mount. Then blending them together. Then back to the sprayed on paint (which seems to work much better than staining).\nI also got the trees sprayed and trimmed down. Now I need to add the ground foam leaves and they are ready to plant.\nStill working on this canyon. The 2nd rock wall is in and the things are starting to take shape.\nHere is a shot taken looking down the canyon. The 2nd bridge is still set off to the side.\nThe trees are starting to take shape as well. They have their \"leaves\" applied and all I need to do now is add some \"trunks\". Then they will be ready to plant.\nI haven't had any time to work on the train this week, but I temporarily placed the 2nd bridge in place just to see how the scene was taking shape.\nI haven't had much time to work on anything for the last month. I did manage to plant a few trees, but not much else. So today, I had an urge to just run trains. Here is are two short videos of a train running through the canyon.\tSorry for the poor quality.\nI haven't gotten much done in the last 3 months! But I did recently start on a kitbashed factory. I'm starting with a Bergen National Sugar Beet Refinery Building #2 kit. I'm slicing the model in half and laying out the front and back side-by-side. I'm plugging up some of the 1st floor windows and I am replacing the remaining 1st floor windows with freight doors. Here it is barely started. I have a lot of work to go and a lot of interior detail to create as I plan to have most of the freight doors be open.\nWow, it's been almost 6 months since I've had any time to work on the layout! But I did manage to get a little more done on the kitbashed factory. Although they do not show in the photo very well, I have added loading dock floors behind all the open doors and I have added the end walls and interior bracing. Unfortunately I did not include enough bracing on the 1st go round which required multiple attempts to remove the warping. I think I finally got it \"mostly\" flat again now.\nI also managed to rough in the next 4 feet of mountains on the upper level.",

I was part of the Military Advisory Command, Vietnam (MACV) and was assigned to the 29th Civil Affairs Company in Hue City. After a couple of months in Hue, where I worked on getting rice to areas that had been cut-off by flooding from the monsoon and working to improve conditions for the Vietnamese Catholics that had fled the north and were in refugee camps around Hue, I was sent to Phu Loc District (halfway between Hue and Danang) where I was tasked with organizing various projects to improve the circumstances of the hamlets and villages in that District. I also worked with the local self-defense forces. I did projects such as introducing rabbit raising, bringing in Japanese power tillers, distribution of school supplies, and the building of small schools and dispensaries. It was frustrating work since we had a very low priority for supplies such as cement, plywood, etc.\nOn June 10th, 1970, my compound was attacked and largely destroyed. We had several badly wounded personnel and I was subsequently awarded the Army Commendation Medal for Valor in risking myself to evacuate the wounded. After the attack I was reassigned to our headquarters in Hue where I basically performed administrative duties until my tour was up. My son, P.R., was born while I was in Vietnam. I spent a lot of time driving in my Jeep all around Thua Thien Province and was very taken by the beauty of the countryside. I loved the tombs of the Emperors and the Hue Citadel (even though it was heavily damaged from Tet). My former office and the MACV compound where I once lived were just around the corner from the hotel where we stayed during our recent visit. I was also impressed by the fortitude and solid character of the people in the villages and was, of course, enchanted by the children.\nI do not regret my service in Vietnam in any way as I think it taught me how to be a man and set me on the right course for the rest of my life. Vietnam, in retrospect, may have been a national mistake, but it was, nonetheless, a noble effort.",

My main mentor was Mr. Andr\u00e9s \u00c1ngel Gonz\u00e1lez Medina, professor of economics and ICT teacher Alfons Balles. During the six-day stay we discussed the hardware and software of our schools, the possibilities of financing the purchase of IT techniques and programs, the use of ICT in other subjects and the number of our own lessons of informatics in particular specializations. The main focus was on teaching 3D programming, including 3D printing (Spatch), creating web pages (WordPress, Blogger), using the LibreOffice office suite, networking (Cisco OS). Other activities include the development of cooperation in the field of international projects \u2013 Social Business (using 3D Printing, CLIL in the Economy) and International ICT Competition (a booklet of examples in printed and electronic form). The communication language was English and I also appreciate very much the possibility of interviewing students who worked on their project where they used ICT technology.

        "raw_content": "5 Facts to Teach your Grandparents About Automated Genotyping\n1. What is automated genotyping? And why should you care?\nAutomated Genotyping is a medical technology that allows scientists to identify a person\u2019s unique genetic make-up contained within ones DNA. This breakthrough technology allows doctors to enhance any medical treatment. The procedure is simple. Through a blood sample, hair sample, or a swab of the inside cheek, the doctor can collect a sample of your DNA to be sent for testing.\nWhy should you care? Its benefits include your own personal medical treatment. You can live a longer, more comfortable life by having the knowledge of understanding just how your body is made up genetically. Testing will also help determine your family\u2019s gene make up and possible conditions. Finally, the more genes are studied, the more scientists and doctors can work together in treatment and prevention of serious medical conditions.\n2. Genotyping can confirm or rule out conditions that you feel you have or are at risk of developing.\nThe microscopic testing of DNA allows them to pinpoint the strands or alleles, of the DNA, to determine if a condition exists. This technology is not entirely new as it is used in other places around the world like the UK, Australia, and Iceland. In those places, automated genotyping is a routine test for people with hemophilia (a dangerous blood clotting disorder). Through identifying which set of alleles and the exact location of the mutation, it provides potent information for handling a patient by using methods that are more comprehensive.\n3. You have the upper hand in your medical treatment.\nIn the event that a person develops a disease or health concern, genotyping can help doctors treat you with the correct medication and dosage that works best for your body by predicting how your body will react to a specific medication. A person\u2019s genetic makeup is so distinct that it causes each of us to react differently to the same medicine. Having this knowledge helps doctors read the very specific code that is held inside of you. It can even help determine the correct dosage. This is extremely beneficial to getting better and saving time with trying out other medications that will not work correctly and/or cause negative side effects.\n4. Having the automated genotype testing done can greatly benefit your family.\nSince we pass our genes on to our younger generations, we know that a person\u2019s family will inherit the same genetic mutations (whether they actually come out or not is a whole other story). Having this knowledge becomes extremely beneficial to your children and your future generations when it comes time for family planning. By knowing which gene is affected, testing becomes more cost effective because scientists can focus on studying/testing a very specific gene or set of alleles to rule out any concerns.\n5. Genotyping can be helpful to medical research to future generations.\nTransnetyx said, \u201cThrough the study of DNA, scientists have already identified where genes have mutated in diseases like breast cancer and hemophilia.\u201d The more this technology is used, the more helpful it can be to other diseases. It would help scientist research the formation of these mutations of genes by looking at how they form. Mutations are only confirmed when scientists have a clear grasp of which gene is responsible for a specific disease/condition. Having this type of grasp on knowledge will benefit our future generations with diagnosing, comfortably treating and curing infectious diseases. In fact, there is talk about mandating genotyping because it is known to be so important in the success of our present and future health care world.",

        "raw_content": "\u201cDid Paul write the pastoral epistles, or was it a Pauline School he left behind? Was Matthew written by the apostle or by a community? If the epistles were not written by Paul, and Matthew was not written by the apostle, what difference does it make? How does the fact that the true authors are not the ones we have always thought affect the Bible\u2019s divine inspiration?\u201d\nPaul wrote the pastoral epistles. Matthew wrote the gospel that bears his name. Rather than my providing the argumentation to establish these claims, I would direct you to a standard evangelical New Testament introduction, such as that of D.A. Carson, Douglas Moo, and Leon Morris. There you will find not only the traditional views of authorship laid out with scholarly rationale but also the contemporary critical views rebutted.\nIf these books of the New Testament canon were not in fact written by Matthew and Paul it makes a difference to the modern church in at least two ways. The first consequence of denying the traditional authorship has to do with authority.\nIn the case of Matthew, as Professor Ehrman has pointed out in his latest book, Forged, the problem is not that the author of the canonical-order first gospel lied about authorship. The gospel that we know as Matthew makes no claim as to its author but was published anonymously. The issue, however, is whether it is authoritative for the church. And with this question, we come to the very heart of Professor Ehrman\u2019s book.\nThe ultimate forgery for the Bible is that Christians have claimed for centuries that it is the Word of God. If there is no God, as Dr. Ehrman has argued in God\u2019s Problem, at least to establish agnosticism, then of course there is no word of God. How one answers the question, \u201cIs there a God?\u201d has huge impact on the authority one attaches to writings that claim to have been inspired by him.\nJesus illustrated this connection between authority and identity in his interaction with the religious leaders of Jerusalem in the last week of his earthly life (Mark 11:27-33). They ask him by what authority he cleanses the temple, and he replies with a question of his own. \u201cJohn\u2019s baptism\u2013was it from heaven, or from men?\u201d They realize that they cannot answer without revealing their opinion of John\u2019s identity as a prophet. If he were a prophet, then they would have had to submit to him as a spokesperson for God, which they clearly had not done. On the other hand if they say John\u2019s baptism was a merely human idea, they would incur the wrath of the people who nearly universally held that he was a prophet.\nIf John were a prophet then all people would need to obey his words as the words of God. In the same way, Jesus, according to the New Testament writings, identified \u201cthe Twelve\u201d as \u201capostles\u201d who would be his commissioned and authorized agents. The claim in the gospel that bears John\u2019s name is that the Twelve would produce the New Testament (John 14:26; 15:26-27; 16:12-13). The \u201capostles\u201d are the New Testament equivalent to the Old Testament \u201cprophets.\u201d Paul\u2019s authority, which he zealously defended, was predicated on his identity as an apostle (II Corinthians 12:12; Galatians 1-2). If, therefore, the gospel traditionally called \u201cMatthew\u201d were not apostolic, it would not be authoritative.\nThe second critical matter at stake in the authorship question is veracity. I Timothy claims it was written by \u201cPaul, an apostle of Christ Jesus\u201d (1:1). II Timothy and Titus begin with the same claim. I completely agree with Professor Ehrman in his view that writing a letter and passing it off as written by someone else more famous in order to gain a wider hearing is ethically wrong. I further agree that such falsification was understood to be wrong in the early Christian world by Christians, Jews, and pagans alike. So, if in the pastoral epistles we have a supposedly well-meaning Christian from well after the time of Paul\u2019s death acting as though he is Paul, the apostle (\u201cI am telling the truth, I am not lying,\u201d I Timothy 2:7), and writing for \u201cthe truth that leads to godliness\u201d (Titus 1:1), then surely, as Tom Hanks says in the film, \u201cApollo 13,\u201d \u201cHouston, we have a problem.\u201d\nProfessor Ehrman believes that Christians do indeed have that problem. \u201cThe use of deception to promote the truth may well be considered one of the most unsettling ironies of the early Christian tradition\u201d (Forged, p. 250). I do not believe Christians have that problem, because I believe that the ascriptions of apostolic authors or sponsors to the anonymous books of the New Testament are true ascriptions not false, and because I believe that all the New Testament books that make a claim of authorship are, in Professor Ehrman\u2019s word, \u201corthonymous\u201d (i.e., rightly named).",

E-mail address: winston@mail.ncku.edu.tw (W.-C. Ko)\nClinical information about bacteremia due to extended-spectrum \u03b2-lactamase (ESBL)-producing pathogens in cancer patients was limited. The study was aimed to identify the clinical manifestations and risk factors for mortality in ESBL-producer bacteremia in cancer patients.\nA retrospective study of bacteremia caused by ESBL-producing Escherichia coli or Klebsiella pneumoniae in adults with cancer in National Cheng Kung University Hospital and National Taiwan University Hospital from July 2002 to August 2007 was conducted. Clinical characteristics, initial manifestations, and antimicrobial therapy were analyzed for their association with crude mortality at 14 days after bacteremia onset.\nA total 113 episodes of bacteremia caused by E coli (59.3%), K pneumoniae (39.8%) or both (0.9%) were included. Patients with hematological malignancy were younger (55 \u00b1 22 vs. 69 \u00b1 14 years, p < 0.003) and had less co-morbidity, but were more likely to have neutropenia (73.1% vs. 4.6%, p < 0.001) than those with solid tumor. By the univariate analysis in 113 episodes of ESBL-producer bacteremia, several risk factors, including pneumonia or soft-tissue infection as the bacteremia source, initial manifestations with high Pitt bacteremia scores, shock, respiratory failure or severe sepsis, and inappropriate definitive therapy were associated with 14-day crude mortality. By multivariate analysis, only pneumonia [adjusted odds ratio (AOR), 5.2; 95% confident interval (CI), 1.3\u201321.0; p = 0.021], severe sepsis (AOR, 24.3; 95% CI, 5.6\u2013105.0; p < 0.001), and inappropriate definitive therapy (AOR, 11.3; 95% CI, 1.7\u201372.8; p = 0.011) were independently associated with a fatal outcome.\nThe presence of neutropenia or underlying hematological malignancy in cancer patients with ESBL-producer bacteremia was not associated with an increase in the mortality rate. Appropriate definitive antimicrobial therapy will be beneficial in improving clinical outcome.\nBacteremia, Cancer patients, ESBL, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Prognostic factor",

TE co-exists with both non-standard varieties of English as well as other dialects, namely Trinidadian Creole in Trinidad and Tobagonian Creole in Tobago. Both islands as one consider the dialect as Trinbagonian Creole.\nTrinidadian English was originally based on a standard of British English. Located in the Americas, TE now uses many Americanisms, including apartment and trunk (of a car). It is understandable by speakers of international standard English, although it uses a number of terms that are unique to it (perhaps coming from Trinidadian Creole), such as \"to lime\", meaning \"to hang out\". Speech in Trinidad (and, to some degree, in Tobago) may vary by location and circumstance and is often remarked for its \"sing-song\" (i.e. a rising and falling inflection) intonation.\n^ \"Unified English Braille (UEB)\".

        "title": "USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 - Federalism in America",
        "raw_content": "The full name of the act is the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001.\nOn September 11, 2001, the United States was the victim of the most lethal domestic terrorism attack in its history. Commercial airliners used as missiles destroyed the World Trade Center in New York City and damaged the Pentagon, and a terrorist-hijacked plane crashed in rural Pennsylvania, failing to hit its Washington, D.C., target. More than 3,000 civilians and emergency responders died. These events fueled urgent widespread demand for improved law enforcement powers to prevent future domestic terrorism. According to House members involved, legislative proposals were drafted in secret over a weekend by Attorney General John Ashcroft, the Department of Justice, and the U.S. House leadership. On October 23, 2001, House Resolution 2975, known as the PATRIOT Act (Provide Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001), was submitted. On the next day, October 24, 2001, Senate Bill 1510, the \u201cUSA Act\u201d (Uniting and Strengthening America Act of 2001) was submitted.\nUnder expedited legislative processes, the bills were approved by near-unanimous bipartisan majorities in the Senate (98\u20131) and U.S. House (357\u201366) with little debate. Congress members voted the 400-plus page bill into law without even having an opportunity to read it, as the Government Printing Office finished printing it just one hour before the congressional votes. The compromise bill, known as the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 (Public Law 107\u201356), was signed into law by President George W. Bush two days later on Saturday, October 26, 2001.\n1 THE USA PATRIOT ACT OF 2001\n2 CRITICISMS OF THE USA PATRIOT ACT\n3 CURRENT IMPLEMENTATION OF USA PATRIOT ACT CAUSES LOCAL GOVERNMENT FISCAL HARDSHIP\n3.1 Elizabeth G. Williams\nTHE USA PATRIOT ACT OF 2001\nThe USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 (hereafter, the act) is a very lengthy complex law with ten major sections (titles) and 1,016 subsections. Its stated purpose is \u201cto deter and punish terrorist acts in the United States and around the world, to enhance law enforcement investigatory tools, and for other purposes.\u201d The \u201cother purposes\u201d provision of the act has resulted in significant controversy. Critics argue it has the potential to be used too widely against American citizens in criminal and noncriminal cases unrelated to terrorism or national security issues.\nMajor provisions of the act include Title I, \u201cEnhancing Domestic Security against Terrorism\u201d; Title II, \u201cEnhancing Surveillance Procedures,\u201d including the expansion of the National Electronic Crime Task Force Initiative; Title III, provisions against international money laundering to finance terrorism; and Title IV, \u201cU.S. Border Protection.\u201d Title V, \u201cRemoving Obstacles to Investigating Terrorism,\u201d includes police conducting DNA testing of all violent offenders, disclosure of education (and library) records to the FBI, and paying \u201crewards\u201d to terrorism informants. Title VI provides aid to terrorism victims and the families of public safety officers; Title VII increases federal, state, and local law enforcement information sharing; and Title VIII defines, strengthens, and increases penalties for terrorism. Title IX is designed to improve and coordinate federal intelligence gathering, and Title X provides various definitions, including the expansion of \u201celectronic surveillance.\u201d It also provides funding for bioterrorism preparedness/response.\nAccording to the Department of Justice\u2019s (DOJ) 2004 report The USA Patriot Act at work, the act \u201cset out to update, strengthen, and expand laws governing the national commitment to the protection of civil rights and civil liberties.\u201d The DOJ identified four areas in which the act has had the greatest [positive] impact: \u201c(1) enhancing the federal government\u2019s capacity to share intelligence; (2) strengthening the criminal laws against terrorism; (3) removing obstacles to investigating terrorism and (4) updating the law to reflect new technology\u201d (DOJ 2004, 1). Shared intelligence has \u201cbrought down the wall separating intelligence from law enforcement and greatly enhanced foreign intelligence information sharing among federal law enforcement and national security personnel, intelligence agencies, and other entities entrusted with protecting the nation from acts of terrorism\u201d (DOJ 2004, 29).\nCRITICISMS OF THE USA PATRIOT ACT\nRemoving obstacles to investigating terrorism, and specifically Title II, \u201cEnhanced Surveillance Procedures,\u201d have resulted in harsh criticism of the act. Title II, Subsection 218, significantly amended the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 (FISA), substantially relaxing (weakening) requirements for court orders when using electronic surveillance (or telephone taps). The DOJ has applied this in suspected terrorism cases and also in other non-terrorism-related criminal cases. Civil liberty champions argue the act has gone too far, violating citizens\u2019 guarantee from unreasonable search and seizures (Fourth Amendment) and privacy provisions (implied in the Ninth Amendment) under the U.S. Constitution.\nMany are concerned that the act provides the DOJ new powers to prosecute activities unrelated to terrorism. Borrower records, bookstore records, and even Internet searches by students or others using public or university library facilities can be secretly collected by the FBI under Section 215 of the act. Businesses unrelated to domestic or international terrorism have had their financial files and records seized for investigation under Section 314 of the Act. Even the DOJ Report on the act concludes, \u201cIt [the Act] has helped the Department [DOJ] to combat serious criminal conduct, such as child abduction and child pornography\u201d (DOJ 2004).\nCURRENT IMPLEMENTATION OF USA PATRIOT ACT CAUSES LOCAL GOVERNMENT FISCAL HARDSHIP\nThe USA PATRIOT Act provided over $3.3 billion during fiscal years 2002\u20133 in three types of two-year block grants to states; State Domestic Preparedness Grants (2002), Omnibus and Supplemental State Homeland Security Grants (2003), and Omnibus and Supplemental Urban Area Security Initiative Grants (2003). These grants were distributed to states (and Native American tribes) for reimbursement distribution to local governments for costs in purchasing security equipment, training personnel, planning response and preventive operations, administration, and conducting drill exercises. The act also contains law enforcement data-reporting and information exchange requirements that are costly to local governments. Local governments must expand personnel and computer systems, and conduct universal DNA testing of all violent offenders.\nBut these provisions have remained largely unfunded or been only partially funded at the local level. According to the U.S. Conference of Mayors, as late as September 2003 (two years after the initial attacks) 90 percent of local governments had received no funding under the federal homeland security program. This leaves local governments with unfunded mandates (legal requirements from higher levels of government, but no money to implement them). This has further aggravated financial strain on local governments and their law enforcement agencies.\nAccording to the third annual Homeland Security Report issued by the U.S. Conference of Mayors in June 2004, more than half (52 percent) of \u201ccities surveyed are still left empty-handed, have not received any money, nor have been notified that they will receive money from the state-block grant program, designed to assist first responders such as police, fire, and other local officials\u201d (Spears and Temple 2004).\nMore than 200 local governments, including both Washington, D.C., and New York City\u2014sites of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks\u2014and 4 states have passed non-binding resolutions calling for the new USA PATRIOT Act to be significantly revised to limit its scope and negative financial impacts on them. In response, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security\u2019s task force\u2019s advisory council, in its unanimously adopted June 2004 report, acknowledged widespread continuing fiscal problems reimbursing local governments and called for homeland security block grants to become exempt from the Cash Management Act of 1990. This would permit greater flexibility to grantees, encourage regionalization, streamline and speed up the grant process, reduce delays in payment, and permit statewide procurement contracts allowing local governments to purchase equipment and services from state-negotiated lower-priced contracts\u2014avoiding reimbursement issues.\nSara S.

Gift funds were provided by Dr. Patsy Bostick Reed and Reed Transition Technologies.\nThe permanent endowment, established to benefit the Department of Nutritional Sciences, recognizes the academic and professional achievements of Dr. Reed \u2013 a proud UT Austin alumna who became the first student to receive a Ph.D. in Biological Sciences.\nAfter earning a home economics teaching degree in 1959, Dr. Reed taught in public schools in Austin and Port Arthur, TX. In 1964, she returned to UT Austin to earn a master\u2019s degree in Nutrition. After completing said degree, she was convinced by Dr. Lorene Rogers, a faculty member at the time, to earn an advanced degree in Biological Sciences.\nDr. Reed completed her postdoctoral research at the University of Virginia and the University of Heidelberg, and later accepted a faculty position at Idaho State University. In 1979, she became the Chair of the Department of Home Economics at Northern Arizona University (NAU). She subsequently served as dean, assistant and associate academic vice president, academic vice president and interim president at NAU. Her professional years culminated with the Chancellorship at the University of North Carolina at Asheville, giving her the distinction of being the first female president of a public university in two states: Arizona and North Carolina.\nShe attributes her success, in part, to the quality education she received on the Forty Acres. Dr. Reed also acknowledges and appreciates having had the opportunity to earn advanced degrees at a time when the women\u2019s movement started to gain momentum.\nHer deep gratitude for the opportunity to earn a Ph.D. and the professional advantages afforded to her because of her education inspired Dr. Reed to establish the Patsy Bostick Reed Endowed Graduate Fellowship in Nutritional Sciences endowment. She hopes the endowment will encourage others to pursue advanced studies in Nutritional Sciences.",

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb Business and Industry \u00bb Manufacturing \u00bb Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama\nLocated in Montgomery, Montgomery County, Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama (HMMA) was the first automobile manufacturing facility established as a subsidiary by the South Korea-based Hyundai Motor Company in the United States. At the HMMA facility, workers complete the final assembly of both engines and complete vehicles. HMMA employs approximately 3,000 full-time and 450 part-time workers, and, as of April 2014, the plant has built a more than 2.5 million vehicles. The facility has an annual production capacity of approximately 400,000 vehicles and more than 700,000 engines. HMMA began regular production of the Sonata midsize sedan in 2005. Currently, it builds the Sonata and Elantra midsize sedans for North American markets.\nHyundai Groundbreaking\nHyundai officials selected Montgomery for an assembly plant as part of a strategy to increase manufacturing capacity and expand sales in North America. Other factors included Alabama's status as a so-called \"right-to-work\" state, meaning it discourages organized labor activity. Prior to the selection, Gov. Don Siegelman's administration lobbied to convince Hyundai to choose Alabama. He and Alabama House Speaker Seth Hammett visited the company's South Korean headquarters during the Thanksgiving holiday in 2001. According to media reports at the time, their actions impressed Hyundai executives, who understood the importance of the American holiday. Bob Riley, then a U.S. congressman who was running against Siegelman in the gubernatorial election, also visited South Korea in a separate delegation.\nHyundai Factory in Montgomery\nUltimately, the incentive package offered by Siegelman and the state, worth about $253 million, also was a key factor in Hyundai's decision. The package consisted of $55 million to buy the land and prepare the site, $76.7 million in tax abatements, $61.8 million to train workers, $29 million for improving roads and other transportation facilities, and $12.1 million to cover advertising and other miscellaneous expenses. In addition, private companies contributed $18.2 million, in the hopes of attracting Hyundai as a business partner. The state paid for 51 percent of this incentive package with taxpayer funds, with local governments contributing 37 percent of the incentives, and private industry 12 percent. After a lengthy selection process, the location of the new plant was announced in April 2002, with Alabama edging out Kentucky, which only offered $123 million in incentives.\nCritics complained that this incentive package was overly generous and an example of corporate welfare. Some were also unhappy that the state government steered Hyundai towards Montgomery, rather than Opelika in Lee County. Hyundai executives eliminated the city during the final site selection process because they were concerned that the area would not have enough workers to staff the plant. After the selection, however, Montgomery's Industrial Development Board encountered some problems when acquiring the land for the plant. A group of landowners sued the board in 2006 after they discovered that one person had been paid significantly more for his land than the others. This dispute was settled in May 2014, with the board agreeing that the former landowners share $3.45 million in compensation. The lawsuit did not delay the completion of the plant.\nHyundai Paint Shop in Montgomery\nThe various facilities at the HMMA site occupy 3.2 million square feet, situated on 1,744 acres of former pastureland. The plant includes separate facilities for stamping, welding, painting, general assembly, and engine production. The stamping facility hosts two high-capacity industrial presses that create car body parts. The welding and painting facilities are fully automated, using a computer-controlled production system and more than 400 industrial robots. General assembly takes place in a separate facility, with more than 7,000 linear feet of self-adjusting conveyor belts. In addition, the plant has a 2.3 mile test-track and a high-pressure water test booth for initial quality testing.\nThe first production and maintenance workers for the new plant were hired in fall 2003. Test production of the Sonata sedan began in July 2004, and regular production of retail vehicles began in spring 2005. The following year, the Santa Fe midsize sport utility vehicle was added to the production line at Montgomery. Hyundai officials also expanded the plant to accommodate Theta four-cylinder engine production, which began in November 2009. In 2010, production of the Santa Fe was moved to Kia Motors Manufacturing Georgia in West Point, Georgia. HMMA continued to produce the Sonata and began assembly of the Elantra compact sedan as well.\nHyundai Headquarters\nThe Hyundai plant has attracted a large number of automotive parts suppliers to Alabama that have constructed plants in the surrounding counties. HMMA utilizes approximately 30 Tier 1 suppliers, which are companies that provide parts directly to Hyundai for the assembly of new vehicles. These suppliers form a large portion of the total economic impact of Hyundai in Alabama. A 2011 study performed by researchers at Auburn University in Auburn, Lee County, estimated that the plant has contributed as much as $3.8 billion to Alabama's economy, including 7,000 jobs with direct suppliers. The same study reported that as many as 34,000 full-time jobs have been created in the state as a result of the plant and estimated that Hyundai and its suppliers have contributed approximately $61.3 million in tax revenue to the state on a yearly basis. Overall, the plant accounts for around two percent of Alabama's gross domestic product (GDP).\nHyundai's workforce in Montgomery is currently not unionized. To date, there have been no major campaigns to organize workers at the plant. This contrasts with Mercedes-Benz U.S. International Inc. (MBUSI) in Vance, where the United Auto Workers (UAW) union has conducted an ongoing campaign. Some automotive suppliers in the state have been organized by the UAW or other unions. However, no final assembly plants for automobiles are represented by unions in Alabama, including MBUSI and Honda Manufacturing of Alabama (HMA) in Lincoln, Talladega County.\nPublished: February 6, 2015 | Last updated: February 17, 2015",

        "title": "Leaving Small's Hotel: Chapter 13",
        "raw_content": "Everything we do, we actually do for our own sake. We may appear to be sacrificing ourselves, when we are merely satisfying ourselves.\nT IS ALWAYS DIFFICULT to pin down the onset of an idea, but I think that it was this morning, when I surprised Albertine in the kitchen, on her hands and knees, scrubbing the floor, doing a job that we have always paid someone else to do, even in the hotel\u2019s leanest early days, and she looked at me and I saw that she was embarrassed to have been caught saving money this way, embarrassed for me, because she hadn\u2019t wanted me to see that she thought it necessary, or at least prudent, to save money this way, that I really understood how sad she was, how heavily the weight of everything that was a care to her fell on her, and I think that it was at that moment that inspiration struck. I knew that the ultimate target I wanted Rockwell Kingman to pursue was me.\nAt the time, I thought that the operations of my mind were being conducted in the pursuit of a goal that was purely\u2014let us not say \u201cmerely\u201d\u2014literary, that I had been inspired to use my own situation to construct the final chapter of Murder While You Wait and that I would go on to construct the rest of the book to lead up to that chapter. That is what I thought I thought, or, to attempt to be perfectly precise about this, that is what I think I would have thought I was thinking if I had thought about what I was thinking at the time. Someone, a man, a desperate man, would come to Kingman in the hope of employing his skill, and in particular his talent for misdirection, to hide a suicide. He wanted to kill himself\u2014or, if Kingman thought it best, to be killed\u2014so that his wife would collect his insurance money.\nHis business was failing\u2014some business, any business. Make it a small hotel on a small island. . . .\n\u201cLook, here\u2019s the way it is,\u201d he says. He\u2019s wringing his hands. \u201cThis morning I happened to see my wife\u2014\u201d\n\u201cIt\u2019s an old story,\u201d I say. I light a cigarette. I turn my back to the guy and look out the window. I\u2019m not interested.\n\u201cNo,\u201d he says. \u201cThat\u2019s not the story. Not my story. I surprised her. I saw what she hadn\u2019t wanted me to see. I came into the kitchen and there she was, Albertine, my Albertine, my honey-bunchie-wunchie, on her hands and knees, scrubbing the floor, doing a job that we have always paid someone else to do, even in the hotel\u2019s lean early days, and she looked at me and I saw that she was embarrassed to be caught saving money this way\u2014embarrassed for me, because she hadn\u2019t wanted me to see that she thought she had to save money this way\u2014\u201d\nI open the window, lean out. I see it\u2019s going to be a nice day.\n\u201cYou see,\u201d he says, and I can hear that pleading tone starting to insinuate itself into his voice, \u201cit was at that moment that I really understood how sad she is, how heavily the weight of\u2014of\u2014everything\u2014every care\u2014every worry\u2014how heavily the weight of every worry falls on her, and that all of that is all my fault.\u201d\nHe gets up out of the chair. He walks over to the window. He puts his hand on my shoulder. I hate that. I hate the personal appeal. I shrug him off.\n\u201cSorry,\u201d he says. He draws a breath. \u201cIt\u2019s my fault, and I\u2019ve got to make amends.\u201d He draws another breath, and then he lays out his plan in the measured voice that people always use when they\u2019re laying out their plans. \u201cWhen Albertine and I bought the hotel we also bought a life insurance policy on me, enough to cover the mortgage. Over the years, we\u2019ve increased the mortgage to finance repairs and maintenance, but whenever we did we increased the insurance too. If I die an accidental death, she will collect enough to pay off her debts and unload the hotel, which she\u2019s come to think of as a prison. Then she can add whatever is left to what she\u2019s managed to put away in our retirement fund, and she will have\u2014at last\u2014financial security.\u201d\nHe pauses, and I can tell he\u2019s considering the hand on the shoulder again, the chummy approach. I spin around and look him in the eye to put the kibosh on that.\nHe holds his hands out, palms up. He sighs. \u201cSecurity,\u201d he says. \u201cPeace. And I will have provided it. I will be a success.\u201d\nAs I saw it, Kingman would not be interested. He would find the idea bizarre, even perverted. As a killer, he would find the desire for death impossible to understand. It would take Peter weeks to persuade Kingman to accept him as a client. It would involve riveting discussions of the meaning of life and the meaning of death. I anticipated the writing of those scenes with relish.\nI SPENT the rest of the morning trapping cats. Lou and Grumpy Cluck helped me. We brought the launch and the rowboat around to the wildlife area, pulled the rowboat up on shore, and laid a catwalk from the bow to the sand. We dotted the walk with food\u2014cat food that Suki had concocted\u2014and set little bowls of it along the shore. We put several large bowls in the rowboat, a movable feast, and then the three of us sat in the launch, drinking coffee\u2014Irish coffee that Lou had concocted\u2014and watched the rowboat fill with cats. When it seemed to be as full as it was likely to get, we began paddling the launch, slowly, gently, quietly. The line on the rowboat tightened, and we drew the boat out behind us toward the open bay. There had been some talk, earlier, about scuttling the rowboat and drowning the cats, but Irish coffee makes a guy verbose and sentimental, and the three of us were soon running on at length about the miracle of life and the joy of living, and scolding what Lou liked to call \u201cthe culture of shit\u201d for putting so low a price on life, living, joy, and everything else worthwhile. We towed the rowboat to the largest of the uninhabited islands near us, and we set the cats free there. (In other words, I said to myself without looking back, we marooned the cats there.)\nJEFFREY HIMSELF brought the boatload of prospects to the island in the afternoon. They were crisp and efficient. There were a dozen of them, nine men and three women. All of them wore scent of one kind or another, and each one had a notebook with a checklist. From what I could see, no two checklists were identical. It was easy to decide which one would have been upset about the cats\u2014a round pink man with a few strands of white hair combed over his round pink pate, the one wearing the red necktie on which kittens cavorted.\n\u201cVery interesting possibilities,\u201d was the phrase I heard most. \u201cVery interesting possibilities.\u201d\n\u201cWould you like to begin at the hotel?\u201d asked Albertine.\n\u201cOh, yes!\u201d said a woman at the head of the group. \u201cThat will make a wonderful social center!\u201d She turned toward the others and they laughed awkwardly. The woman flushed and said, \u201cI mean\u2014it might\u2014it could\u2014that is, if we decide\u2014\u201d\n\u201cThe idea,\u201d said Jeffrey, \u201cis to turn the island into a residential community\u2014an exclusive residential community.\u201d\n\u201cLike a gated community?\u201d I asked.\n\u201cYes!\u201d said the round pink man. He swept his arm toward the expanse of bay that separated us from potential interlopers. \u201cThe ultimate in exclusivity, an island! With a natural moat to keep the undesirable element out.\u201d When he said the words undesirable element he winked at me.\nAlbertine and I looked at each other.\nShe said, \u201cShit,\u201d and then she said, slowly, to the round pink man, \u201cWhile you\u2019re looking the place over, bear in mind that the boiler may blow up at any moment and the roof leaks, and you might want to stay out of the area to the west, where there are giant frogs, wild hamsters, chinchilla rabbits, minks, free-ranging chickens, turkeys, talking budgies\u2014and hundreds of rabid feral cats.\u201d\n\u201cOh, my goodness,\u201d said the round pink man. \u201cThat doesn\u2019t sound very promising.\u201d\nTHAT NIGHT\u2019S READING was \u201cLocal Boy Snaps Shots,\u201d the thirteenth episode of Dead Air.\nHE HEADLINE in the Babbington Reporter read, \u201cSaucers Swarm over Babbington, Local Boy Snaps Shots of Mysterious Craft.\u201d Below the headline was the picture that I had snapped. Apparently, Porky White\u2019s attempt to demonstrate that common objects thrown into the air would not resemble flying saucers had been a failure. Judging from the headline, a viewer who was not aware of the circumstances under which the photograph was taken\u2014and that would be every viewer but Porky and me\u2014might assume that the objects in the sky were much larger than clams and, therefore, higher in the sky and farther away than the clams had actually been. Such a viewer might even mistake the clams for flying saucers.\nWhen I first saw the picture, I felt the thrill you would expect a boy to feel if the local newspaper published a picture he had taken, but very quickly I began to feel cheated. I hadn\u2019t intended to have this picture published in the Reporter; I hadn\u2019t given permission for it to be published; no one had even asked my permission; my name was misspelled; and no one had paid me.\nI called Porky.\n\u201cDid you see the paper today?\u201d I asked.\n\u201cI sure did!\u201d said Porky. \u201cHold on a minute.\u201d Away from the mouthpiece he called out, \u201cPour some coffee for those guys and apologize for the delay. Make \u2019em feel good.\u201d Into the mouthpiece he said, \u201cGreat picture, wasn\u2019t it?\u201d\n\u201cDo you think I should have him arrested?\u201d I asked.\n\u201cWho? What for?\u201d\n\u201cMr. Himmelfarb, for sending the picture to the paper.\u201d\n\u201cAre you nuts? Himmelfarb did us a favor.\u201d\n\u201cSure. Listen to this.\u201d He stopped talking, and from the background I heard the sound of animated conversation, clinking china, glasses, laughter, and, some voices raised in dispute. Porky came back on the line. \u201cAmazing, isn\u2019t it? The place is packed!\u201d\n\u201cCuriosity seekers,\u201d I said, the way my father did whenever we were stuck in a traffic jam caused by the rubbernecking curious slowing down to get a good look at an accident.\n\u201cYeah!\u201d said Porky with enthusiasm.\n\u201cAre you kidding?\u201d asked Porky. \u201cI\u2019m not screening people at the door here, you know. All are welcome at Kap\u2019n Klam, including curiosity seekers. You understand?\u201d\n\u201cOh, sure,\u201d I said, speaking as an investor in the enterprise, \u201cbut,\u201d I added, quoting my father, \u201cwhat is it about these people that makes them think nothing has really happened until they\u2019ve witnessed it?\u201d\n\u201cJust a damn minute there,\u201d said Porky. \u201cWe are all curiosity seekers, Peter. It\u2019s one of the things that make us human. Don\u2019t ever disparage curiosity. I think it\u2019s the noblest of human traits, if you ask me, and it\u2019s honest, not like generosity, for example. You scratch generosity, and very often you\u2019ll find self-interest lying underneath it, but curiosity, scratch that, and you\u2019re going to find nothing but one-hundred-per-cent curiosity through and through. It\u2019s a genuine human trait, unadulterated by other motives. We may be generous to salve a guilty conscience or curry favor, but we want to know because we want to know, and we have a right to know, because we are the only creatures capable of knowing. We are life\u2019s witnesses. If we don\u2019t witness a thing, if we don\u2019t know about a thing, it is, in a way that I don\u2019t have time to explain right now, not real.\u201d\n\u201cPorky!\u201d called a voice from the background. \u201cI need three clam salad sandwiches!\u201d\n\u201cComing right up!\u201d he shouted, and then asked, \u201cCan you give me a hand?\u201d\n\u201cI\u2019ll be right there,\u201d I said, and a moment later I was on my way, and I was pedaling hard, because I wanted to get down there and see for myself, with my own eyes, what was going on.\nALDY closed his show that night with this: \u201cIs this you, boys and girls? You are a refugee, an orphan, somewhere, anywhere, who knows where. You have been orphaned by tribal warfare, because the people of the other tribe hate your tribe because your tribe is not their tribe. Do you understand that? Everyone who used to sit with you at the family hearth is dead. They were killed by the people of another tribe because the people of the other tribe need to eliminate the people of your tribe so that they can be certain that they are superior to the people of your tribe. Do you understand that? You watched some of the people die. Some died at your home. Some died on the road. Some died in a camp where you learned to understand the limits of international patience with the refugees of tribal warfare. You are alone. Everything you have you can hold in your hands, everything except your memories. Is that you, boys and girls? No? Lucky for you, kids. But be careful, because there is someone out there somewhere, who knows where, who hates you because you belong to the wrong tribe and because we have not grown up enough as a species to stop living in tribes. Do you understand that? Neither do I. Roll the rock in front of the door, my little ones, stay in the cave, and sleep tight.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "The foundation for black participation in the Civil War began more than a hundred years before the outbreak of the war. Blacks in America had been in bondage since early colonial times. In 1776, when Jefferson proclaimed mankind\ufffds inalienable right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, the institution of slavery had become firmly established in America. Blacks worked in the tobacco fields of Virginia, in the rice fields of South Carolina, and toiled in small farms and shops in the North. Foner and Mahoney report in A House Divided, America in the Age of Lincoln that, \"In 1776, slaves composed forty percent of the population of the colonies from Maryland south to Georgia, but ...\nthe determination to resist control by the slave owners. The slave's reaction to this desire and determination resulted in outright rebellion and individual acts of defiance. However, historians place the strongest reaction in the enlisting of blacks in the war itself. Batty in The Divided Union: The Story of the Great American War, 1861-65, concur with Foner and Mahoney about the importance of outright rebellion in their analysis of the Nat Turner Rebellion, which took place in 1831. This revolt demonstrated that not all slaves were willing to accept this \"institution of slavery\" passively. Foner and Mahoney note that the significance of this uprising is found in its aftermath because of the numerous reports of \"insubordinate\" behavior by slaves. 8 Individual acts of defiance ranged from the use of the Underground Railroad - a secret, organized network of people who helped fugitive slaves reach the Northern states and Canada - to the daily resistance or silent ...\nhas ... the honor of being the first State in the Union to begin the organization of Negroes as soldiers for the Federal army.\" McPherson believes that up to this point President Lincoln had opposed the idea of blacks fighting for the Union but after the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation, which declared that slaves in states still in rebellion on January 1, 1863, \"shall be then, thence forward, and forever free,\" he reversed his 8 thinking.

        "raw_content": "Throwback Thursday: The Evils of High School Gym Class\nTenth grade was, without question, the worst year of my life. And of all the trials that were bestowed upon me that year, high school gym class was among the worst. I think few of Dante\u2019s nine circles of hell could compare to the awkward chaos that ensues after a room full of coed adolescents have been told to \u201cfind a partner.\u201d It\u2019s especially bad if you\u2019re a painfully shy introvert who has just been transplanted from the other side of the planet.\nThe first time it happened, I was lucky that I didn\u2019t have a panic-induced heart attack and die on the spot. Thankfully, a girl named Alla took pity on me and asked me to be her partner. Maybe it was because she was an angel sent from Heaven, or maybe it was because she recognized that neither of us quite fit in with either the argyle sweater camp or the hippie camp. Whatever her reasoning, she became my only friend and was my gym class partner every single day.\nThat is to say, every single day of the first semester. During the second semester, the class was divided into two groups: one would take gym while the other took health, and they would switch half way through the semester. I don\u2019t know exactly how the classes were divided up, but I imagine the gym-teacher-gods were huddled together in their gym-teacher-god office and said to themselves, \u201cThat gym-student-mortal Esther only has one friend. Lets give her an opportunity to branch out.\u201d And thus, the edict was sent down form the gym-teacher-gods. The class list declared that Alla and I were to be in different classes, and our gym-class-partnership was torn asunder.\nDear teachers, if you ever feel inclined to help a student in this way, don\u2019t. I\u2019m sure it was well intended, but I was drowning, and they ripped the life-preserver right out of my hands. My only salvation was that I had health class first, so the partner-finding was kept to a minimum.\nOur first group project had assigned partners and I was assigned to work with Alla\u2019s cousin Taras. If I had to describe him in one word, it would be \u201cquiet.\u201d He was probably the only kid in the entire class who was quieter than me. We silently moved to sit beside each other as directed, all the while making use of our stellar skills at avoiding eye contact. Once everyone had been paired up, the teacher launched into an animated monologue about how sitting in pairs did not give us license to talk to each other during class and interruptions would not be tolerated.\nTaras glanced over at me and said in a low voice, \u201cDo you think we\u2019re going to have a problem with that?\u201d\nI smiled. In fact, that might have been my first real smile of the year.\nPosted in: Throwback Thursday , Tagged: Gym, High School, Introvert, Shy, Throwback Thursday\n3 Thoughts on \u201cThrowback Thursday: The Evils of High School Gym Class\u201d\nTeela Hart on March 13, 2014 at 8:38 am said:\nI can totally relate. Gym for me was a NIGHTMARE.\nI think gym students the world over will agree with you. Total nightmare.",

        "title": "Re-Use of Nazi symbols in Germany after 1945. By Stefanie Endlich \u2013 Observing Memories",
        "raw_content": "home Overview Re-Use of Nazi symbols in Germany after 1945. By Stefanie Endlich\nHonorary Professor of the Faculty of Fine Arts, Berlin University of the Arts (Universit\u00e4t der K\u00fcnste Berlin)\nCover picture: Imperial Eagle with Swastica at the \u201cF\u00fchrer\u2019s Building\u201d in Munich; picture taken in the Munich Documentation Centre for the History of National Socialism (picture: Stefanie Endlich\nRight after the capitulation of Nazi Germany, the Allied Control Council decreed that all militaristic and Nazi symbols in the public space had to be removed. This order concerned especially the Swastica (which since 1933 had been presented, as part of the eagle emblem, at all public buildings and all over Germany), all Hitler portraits and those monuments which expressed the National Socialist ideology in a point-blank way. Some important buildings of the Nazi regime were torn down, like Hitler\u2019s New Reich Chancellery in Berlin. But most of the eliminations were undertaken in a pragmatic way: by scratching off the Nazi symbols and leaving the rest unspoiled. In a certain way, this was the de-Nacification of the public space. Instead of the former Nazi symbol, an empty spot appeared. Sometimes you can still recognize some contours today.\nThe empty space at the former \u201cF\u00fchrer\u2019s Building\u201d, today University of Music and Performing Arts (picture: S.E.)\nBlank space at the facade of the Luther Church in Hamburg-Wellingsb\u00fcttel where the shape of the former Swastica can still be seen today (picture: S.E.)\nCeramic tiles at the triumphal arch in the Martin Luther Memorial Church in Berlin, with voids at those places where National Socialist insignia had bee before 1945 (picture: Mechthild Wilhelmi / Endlich, Geyler-von Bernus, Rossi\u00e9)\nOf course you may find many interesting forms of preoccupation with Nazi symbols in the field of the arts, especially in visual arts since the 1980es. A famous one is, for example, the provocative painting \u201cIch kann beim besten Willen kein Hakenkreuz erkennen\u201d (\u201cWith the Best Will in the World I Can\u2019t See a Swastika\u201d) by Martin Kippenberger from 1984, which, unlike the title says, motivates the observer to search for the swastica in the very upsetting tableau and to reflect about the tabooing of the time of National Socialism in Germany\u2019s post war society. In public space, however, motives and works like these are hardly ever found. And still valid is the law \u201c\u00a7 86a\u201d which says that anticonstitutional attributes and emblems may not be presented in public; this includes parols like \u201cHeil Hitler\u201d and Nazi-songs, but not uses with critical intent or those for art and science.\nThe portrait of Hitler, though, is severely present in public space when you look at front pages of magazines and comics, at film posters or satirical event announcements which are posted at kiosks and advertising columns. Since the mid-sixties, especially in the 1990s, Hitler appeared on the title-page of the news magazine \u201cDer Spiegel\u201d more often than any other person. Yes, Hitler sells! It is easily forgotten that all those Hitler portrait photos are a product of strictly controlled Nazi propaganda, motives that were presented in the Nazi years showing him as he wanted to be seen: as a succesful party leader, statesman, field commander, demagogic speaker, leader in touch with the people, with subtle awsome or even demoniac shaping, mostly taken by the \u201cphotographer of the F\u00fchrer\u201d Heinrich Hoffmann.\nCover picture of \u201cDer Spiegel\u201d, Jan. 29, 1964, the first one of more than 40 Hitler protraits since then; mind the headline in German type (Der Spiegel, 5/1964)\nThose cover pictures have definitely contributed to reproducing the Hitler myth in the post war era and transfering it into the present and future. Only since the midnineties the depiction of Hitler has become more ironical, due to parodistic movies, comedies, comics, and later to the World Wide Web, its networks and its YouTube distribution. In the 1980es and 1990es you could get the impression that Germany was seized by a kind of Hitler mania, meant with critical subtitle (of course?).\nHowever, things become more complicated when we ask about the uses of Nazi symbols to make exhibitions in an enlightening sense. The first significant exhibition on \u201cHitler and the Germans\u201d was presented by the German Historical Museum Berlin in 2010. The subtitle \u201cVolksgemeinschaft and Verbrechen\u201d (people\u2019s community and crime) underlined the critical approach. The posters for this exhibition which were presented in the public space confined themselves to a sober, purely scriptural design. The exhibition team discussed this thoroughly, but rejected the idea of a Hitler picture in subways and all over the city. The title of the catalogue, on the other hand \u2013 showing a picture of Hitler at one of his earliest mass declarations, the May 1st rally at Berlin Tempelhof Airfield 1933 \u2013 added the aforementioned subtitle to the black and white photo with a vibrant, eye catching red bar. Black, White and Red were the colours of the Nazi banner (which is said to have been designed by Hitler himself), reproduced in countless items. The public space in Germany was black, white and red, when it came to Nazi manifestations.\nCover picture of the catalogue \u201cHitler and the Germans\u201d, Deutsches Historisches Museum, Berlin 2010 (picture: S.E.)\nThis calls attention to a more subtle use of Nazi symbols, widening the scope of the term \u201csymbol\u201d. Some documentary exhibitions play with the fascination which comes from the connotations that we connect to this colour combination \u2013 perhaps even unconsciously. One controversially discussed example is the main exhibition in the Documentation Centre Nazi Party Rally Grounds in Nuremberg. It opened in 2001 in the so-called Congress Hall, designed by the National Socialists to house 50,000 spectators. While the modern architecture for the documentation center tries to \u201cbreak\u201d the megalomanic Nazi architecture, the exbibition \u201cFascination and Terror\u201d applies a design which strongly relies on the above-mentioned colours Black, White and Red, and on dramatic light effects which bring to mind the light installations by Hitler\u2019s architect Albert Speer, also in action on the Nuremberg Nazi Party Rally Grounds at that time. Another example, completing this little reflection, is the project \u201cDiversity Destroyed \u2013 Berlin 1933-1938-1945\u201d in 2013, which brought together many museums and initiatives dealing with the history of Berlin during the Nazi time. All over the city you could see advertising pillars and bulletin boards advertising the decentralised projects and exhibitions in Black, White and Red. This attracted much public attention, but also caused protests from some of the participating groups who rejected the idea of placing their project under the speculative ideas of some external designers.\nPermanent exhibition in the Documentation Centre Nazi Party Rally Ground, Nuremberg (picture: S.E.)\nOne of the advertising pillars of the project \u201cdiversity Destroyed\u201d, Berlin 2013 (picture: S.E.)\nThe author thanks John-Christopher Dobson for the review of the English version of the text\nTAGS: Germany NaziSymbols Stefanie Endlich",

        "raw_content": "Matt Badiali\u2019s Freedom Checks Are Here To Break You Out Of The Financial Doldrums\nThe concept of receiving money without having to spend a great deal of time working for it appeals to many. That is why Matt Badiali\u2019s recent viral clip that touted the virtues of Freedom Checks drew so many eyeballs. Seeing someone hold up a six figure check makes one wonder what they must do in order to emulate their success.\nThe first thing that needs to be said about Freedom Checks is that they are the furthest thing from free money. They are actually a viable form of investment. There is a law that has been put into place that allows us to pinpoint companies that qualify for investments that will culminate in the issuing of Freedom Checks. Visit kennedyaccounts.com to know more about Freedom Checks.\nMatt Badiali is here to call attention to one of the best kept secrets in the investment world: Statute 26-F. This law states that certain companies can qualify to become designated agencies if they generate a certain amount of their income from the transportation, production, processing and storage of the nation\u2019s natural resources.\nOnce the company is found to have generated at least 90 percent of their proceeds from the aforementioned enterprises, they will qualify for Statute 26-F. This statute states that these designated agencies are then required to turn over their proceeds to the shareholders that invested in them. Watch this video at Youtube.\nThose who guess right when it comes to the companies that they invest in are able to enjoy massive profits. In order to maximize the chances of receiving the desired return, investors need to take the time to do the proper research like Matt Badiali has.\nFortunately, Badiali is providing a road map that allows investors to emulate his successes and keeps them from making obvious mistakes. He prizes a few key traits in each investment that he makes as far as Freedom Checks are concerned. These three traits are easy enough for other investors to track.\nFirst of all, the company must provide their investors with payments that remain consistent or offer them the chance to get on board with a growing business. Secondly, the company must also need to have proof of their assets. These assets will need to total at least $1 billion as well.\nMatt Badiali recommends taking a closer look at the company\u2019s financials before making an investment so that you can be sure they are bulletproof. Be sure to analyze the managers that you are going to be trusting with your hard earned money before making any sizable investment.\nVisit: http://www.agoranews.com/posts/pTQvXd7aMYrovWx7Y/matt-badiali-s-freedom-checks-exposed\nAuthor adminPosted on May 8, 2018 Categories Investment\nPrevious Previous post: Ara Chackerian Business Leader\nNext Next post: Ian King Is One Of Banyan Hill Publishing\u2019s Investment Experts That Helps Every Day Investors Build And Protect Wealth",

I\u2019ve been trying the best I can to keep calm and carry on as normally as I can manage. I\u2019m mostly succeeding so far, but throughout the day I have moments of fright and panic.\nYesterday started out being a little difficult. I woke up before 4 o\u2019clock in the morning and had to struggle to get my emotional energy at a functional level. I did eventually get to a point of feeling just fine. It was a nice sunny day. I took a bath, got dressed, got some work done. I even managed to step out for a walk with my son.\nBut at some point during the evening I began to feel a little ill. I don\u2019t usually experience heartburn and indigestion, but I was experiencing something that felt a little bit like that last night. Of course that\u2019s something they say women with ovarian cancer experience so needless to say, my fears and worries began to rise and I could no longer keep up my spirits. I went to bed and soon fell asleep. But not too long after I awoke feeling like I was dying. It\u2019s hard to describe what was going on with my body. The burning sensation in my chest that I had figured was heartburn had intensified. My chest area felt like it was burning out, and before long the sensation spread down my arms and through my body. And I realized I was sweating in places.\nPanic began to rise anew. With my mind already on ovarian cancer, I immediately thought this was the proof that I do in fact have it and that it\u2019s at a serious stage. With a heavy heart I crawled out of bed and went downstairs. My husband was downstairs watching television. I sat in the corner on the other couch and told him I didn\u2019t feel well.\nAfter a little while I began to feel better. We went upstairs to bed. And that\u2019s when it occurred to me that I might have just experienced my first real intense level hot flash. This past year I\u2019ve had episodes of feeling very hot and flushed even when it\u2019s been cold to everyone else. I thought those were hot flashes I was experiencing. And maybe they were, but just mild ones. The one I experienced last night was the real deal hot flash. Since getting up today I\u2019ve done some digging around and I\u2019m pretty much convinced of it. What I don\u2019t know and what I don\u2019t want to know, is if hot flashes also happen when you have ovarian cancer. So far I can\u2019t remember seeing that listed under symptoms of ovarian cancer. So I want to believe that it\u2019s menopause related.\nAt least to help myself get through the day I will continue to believe that the symptoms I\u2019m experiencing are indications that I am near the beginning of officially entering menopause. Of course a hysterectomy with the removal of my ovaries will make menopause official even if I\u2019m wrong that I am about there naturally. So I am going to be in menopause presumably by the end of February anyway.\nAt the present moment I\u2019m feeling a lot calmer. I\u2019m trying to have the right kind of conversations going on in my head. I said recently that I was ready to grow up and own my age. Well, this is my chance to begin that process.",

But if you can only fight, there might be six of those guys left in the league, and I can guarantee they're going fast\"\n\"I think the biggest thing for me is being able to adjust to the way the game has changed.

This is not a conversation, but the conversation through which the investigator wants to obtain from the respondent data set to study. Therefore, sociologists rightly point to the fact that it is a specific method of testing, which is assumed to work closely with each investigator and the respondent. The interview is a process in which the investigator is trying to influence the study posed questions and get him to give a speech on the subject of research. It is one of the methods, which allows parallel use of another-namely observation. TYPES OF INTERVIEW: Due to the form of expression of the respondents and the way the interview, and also because of the behavior of the investigator and the number of participants, which are used in the social sciences. We can therefore distinguish the following interviews: oral and written, categorized and Uncategorized, overt and covert, individual and collective, and panels. WRITTEN AND ORAL INTERVIEW: In addition to the interviews conducted in a classical sense, ie, by speaking to the investigator of one or more speakers, there are also interviews in which questions are asked in writing (eg, survey) and the answers are given in writing, directly to the questions listed in the questionnaire, or in another manner, for example, for any given researching cards.

It was a pleasure to have the opportunity to interview her. This paper will capture an insight into my interview with this brilliant individual. In this interview we spoke about an overview of her career, her education in graduate school, her present position at the institution where she works and some precious lessons she has learned being in this career. I was also given a lot of valuable advice as an individual starting graduate school. Overview of Career HC works at a very large acute care hospital located in the Queens, New York. She started her career years ago as a Certified Nurse\u2019s Assistance, while attending a Community College where she eventually graduated with an Associate\u2019s Degree in nursing. About one year after becoming a Registered Nurse, HC started her Bachelor\u2019s Degree in nursing which she completed in about 18 months. She admitted to me that she was not sure what she wanted to do, but she knew she wanted to go to Graduate School. After a few months of soul searching she decided she was going to pursue a Master\u2019s of Science in Nursing with an emphasis in Education. She completed her degree and was still working as a bedside nurse for some time when an opportunity in the hospital opened up for an educator to teach the hospital\u2019s new Computerized Charting System, and they asked her to assist. According to her it was only suppose to be a temporary position, but...\n...Executive Summary Among methods of hiring and selecting potential employee, interview is arguably is the most powerful method for employer to select potential employee. Well, hiring qualified employees should be the primary focus for a company and organization. If a manager does not have a good interviewing skill or perhaps chosen the wrong selection method, he may ended up with hiring someone who might not able to fit the job position and therefore, the job could never be done nicely and perfectly. Thus, choosing a right method of recruitment and selection process has been known as an art as well as science within a business cultural. However, the hardest part of conducting an interview is for the manager to makes the applicant able to open up and willing to gives them the real answer of the question. What is employee selection? Employee selection can be explained by; it is a process of putting and selecting the right person on a right job position. In order to get a right person, selection process has to be done nicely so that it would match with the organization\u2019s requirement as well as with the skills and qualification of the applicant. However, an effective selection process could be done or complete if only there is effective of matching. The organization has to look into the qualification of the applicant in order to select the best candidates.

The purpose of the interview was to get information from Pat about Jay Rich, a senior manager in the Operations department. The interviewer met with Pat discreetly outside of the office. The interview took place in a classroom in Aderhold at approximately 9:30 P.M. on Tuesday, June 17, 2014. Three people were present; Pat, the interviewer, and an observer. The interviewer and Jay sat side by side at an angle. The interviewer seemed confident and was prepared with a list of questions. Pat seemed a bit nervous and uneasy. The interviewer did not make an introduction. The interviewer began the interview by talking to Pat about himself, the company, and his role in human resources. The interviewer tried to build a rapport with Pat and make him comfortable. However he could not answer most of the questions that were asked in the rapport building phase so the attempt was unsuccessful. The interview continued and Pat was asked general questions about the office\u2019s atmosphere, the different departments, and the structure. He was asked to elaborate on the roles of certain individuals. At this point Pat revealed aspects of Jay\u2019s personal life that was normal. Upon further questioning about controls and the processes Pat grew increasingly nervous. The interviewer continued to ask questions to gain information. Finally Pat revealed that...\n...Interview (20% of course grade) \u2013 Students will conduct one interview, for a 10 minute class presentation-- face-to-face or by phone with a pastor, staff member, or leader from a local church or Christian organization other than their own. Select someone who has (a) 5 to 10, or (b) 10 plus years of experience in training others for ministry. Students are expected to report findings relating key concepts in the course textbooks. If possible, record the interview so you have some direct quotes for your paper. Presentations will be timed at 10 to 15 minutes each including questions and answers; time limit will be based on the number of presentations. A few interview questions you might use to guide the interview are as follows: Feel free to create your own, yet these will give you a start. * For what areas of ministry do you provide training? * What do you look for in a leader and why? (i.e., competencies, character, etc.) * How do you assess what a leader needs in terms of training? * What strategies or structures do you have in place or use for leadership training? Be sure to ask \u2018probing type\u2019 follow-up questions in your interview to clarify and expand your understanding of their equipping ministry; such as: give me an example, why would you say this, why did you select this training venue over others, etc. Don\u2019t limit yourself to your interview guide, but \u2018dig deeper\u2019 to gain a broader perspective of their equipping process and why......\n...Interviews Abstract For people who are in the market for a new job, the interview process can be a nightmare. What should I know? What should I do? What should I say?..may be the questions that are clouding one\u2019s mind on top of being nervous just to be nervous. There are dozens of questions one can be prepared for when walking in to a job interview. Some maybe personal, some business related, some unrelated, some uncomfortable, and then even some that one would be least expecting. In the following individual project, I will be discussing some common questions, and some that are not so common. I will also discuss some of the information one should be knowledgeable in prior to walking in to an interview, and then finally put together a small \u201cthank you\u201d paragraph in the final part of this project. Interviews Being prepared for an interview can be something that can make or break the entire discussion. This could lead one into gaining new employment or even losing the confidence and or admiration by a hiring manager. Ensuring that you are on top of your game when it comes to professionalism, sharpness, and likability is important, especially when you are in a first interview. Bottom line, first impressions do count in interviews. They can be the stepping stone to interview number two, actually being hired, or having your resume simply put in a pile with the rest of the resumes that will be filed in a cabinet for years to come. Being ready to answer some......\n...Interview Tips Preparation * Research the company website in depth - look at each section thoroughly - be prepared * Research the company through other websites - Google, Hoovers, Yahoo, etc. * Write down questions you have regarding the company that you can bring up during the interview Appearance * Remember that you never get a second chance to make a first impression! * Wear professional, conservative attire that is clean, ironed, and sophisticated * Avoid visual distractions, for example: do not wear a distracting tie; do not apply heavy makeup; do not spray too much cologne/perfume; do not wear high heels, etc. Simple yet professional is key. What to Bring * At least two copies of your resume * A copy of the job description * Pad of paper, a couple of pens, and a couple of pencils * A form of ID (driver's license) * Do not bother with a laptop, excessively big briefcase/purse, or too many bags Arrival * Arrive 15 minutes prior to interview time * Politely introduce yourself to the receptionist, ask his/her name and remember it * Turn all cell phones, PDAs, pagers, etc. off During the Interview * Do not bring up salary as it may appear that you are only focused on compensation * If you are asked about your current salary, state that your salary requirements fall within the criteria of the job description, but do not be specific - this may limit the amount you receive from the hiring company * If......\n...Macy Walker HRM 424 Interview #1 Interview of Clinic Supervisor For my first interview I decided to interview Lacey Wilson, a nurse turned clinic supervisor of OMC Primary Care Clinic located in Port Angeles. I chose to interview her because my mother is a PA (Physician\u2019s Assistant) there and I have also worked at the clinic since 2013 in the call center, so I am familiar with a lot of the staff including Lacey. I have always found it interesting that as a nurse she chose to take the turn towards management and I was very curious to find out why. During the interview we discussed many things including her current and past roles, what training she has had to help her do her job more effectively, and how experiences outside her job have helped her progress as well. Lacey graduated from UW nursing school in 2000 with a BSN (Bachelors of Science in Nursing) and has basically been with the clinic ever since. She started working with Primary Care in 2001 as a float nurse but was soon assigned to a team (at Primary Care there are four \u201cteams\u201d: Central, East, Cherry, and Sequim, each with their own doctors and one nurse). Not long after Lacey was assigned to a team she became the lead nurse, who is essentially responsible for all the other nurses working at the clinic. Lacey said working as a team nurse gave her experience with managing a small team of employees, including conflict management, time management, and customer service. Over the years Lacey has also been......\n...5 things you should bring to the interview By Anne Cummings, Special to CareerBuilder ------------------------------------------------- Top of Form Find Jobs Keywords: eg: Registered Nurse or Sales Location: Los Angeles, CA or 90001 Job Category: | | Additional Search Options\t| Freshness: | Your Degree: Include all lower degrees | View By:\t| Title Only | Title & Details | | Advanced Search >> Bottom of Form So you have made it to the interview. Congratulations! Obviously you have already impressed the employer -- on paper. Now it is time to impress them face-to-face, and that means bringing your A game, or maybe your A+ game. Preparing for the interview is the very first step in the right direction towards success. Bringing your r\u00e9sum\u00e9 and references are safe starting points, but you may not realize that there are other tools that will help you stand out. So what should job seekers bring to an interview, exactly? Here are five things that can make a difference in today's job market. 1. The \"Brag Book\" Scott Brent, a surgical sales representative and interviewing expert believes that the age of strict r\u00e9sum\u00e9 and references are gone and job seekers should look to other outlets when impressing an interviewer. \"Traditionally, people going on an interview would bring only a r\u00e9sum\u00e9 and themselves to the interview,\" Brent says. \"Those days are gone. I don't care if you are interviewing for a C-suite level job (CEO,......\n...

        "raw_content": "Submitted By mon2genius\nThis section explains why risks exist and highlights the purpose and importance of the risk management plan. It provides a general description of why risk management is essential to effectively managing a project and describes what is needed before risk management can begin.\nAs organizations begin new projects they begin operating in an area of uncertainty that comes along with developing new and unique products or services. By doing so, these organizations take chances which results in risk playing a significant part in any project. The purpose of the risk management plan is to establish the framework in which the project team will identify risks and develop strategies to mitigate or avoid those risks. However, before risks can be identified and managed, there are preliminary project elements which must be completed. These elements are outlined in the risk management approach.\nThis project is considered a medium risk project as it has an overall risk score of 24 on a scale from 0 to 100. The project risk score is the average of the risk scores of the most significant risks to this project. A risk score below 16 is low risk project, a score between 16 and 45 is a medium risk project and a score above 45 is a high risk project.\nBefore risk management begins it is imperative that a foundation is established for providing structured project information, thus, the following project elements were completed and defined prior to developing this Risk Management Plan:\n\u2022\tDefine work scope, schedule, resources, and cost elements o Develop project WBS/WBS dictionary o Develop master schedule and detailed schedules o Estimate project cost and finalize budget o Identify required and available resources o Establish performance measurement metrics\n\u2022\tDefine minimum and maximum baseline thresholds o Schedule o Resources o Cost\n\u2022\tBaseline\u2026...\n...Risk and risk management 1. Credit Risk \u2013 The risk of loss of principal or loss of a financial reward stemming from a borrower's failure to repay a loan or otherwise meet a contractual obligation. Credit risk arises whenever a borrower is expecting to use future cash flows to pay a current debt. Investors are compensated for assuming credit risk by way of interest payments from the borrower or issuer of a debt obligation. The higher the perceived credit risk, the higher the rate of interest that investors will demand for lending their capital. Credit risks are calculated based on the borrowers' overall ability to repay. This calculation includes the borrowers' collateral assets, revenue-generating ability and taxing authority (such as for government and municipal bonds). 1) Total loans to assets The loans to assets ratio measures the total loans outstanding as a percentage of total assets. The higher this ratio indicates a bank is loaned up and its liquidity is low. The higher the ratio, the more risky a bank may be to higher defaults. This figure is determined as follows: Loans to Assets = ( Loans / Total Assets ) 2) Nonperforming loans/total loans Nonperforming loans, or NPL, are loans that are no longer producing income for the bank that owns them. Loans become nonperforming when borrowers stop making payments and the loans enter default. The exact classification can vary from institution to institution, but a loan is usually considered to be nonperforming......\n...achieving adequate information security and for managing information system-related security risks (National Institute of Standards and Technology, 2010). One common methodology for implementing information security is known as Certification and Accreditation. Certification and Accreditation is a process that ensures that systems and major applications adhere to formal and established security requirements that are well documented and authorized (Tipton & Krause, 2007). In order to improve information security, strengthen risk management processes, guarantee standardization, and enforce federal policies, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) partnered with the Department of Defense to transform the traditional Certification and Accreditation (C&A) process into the six-step Risk Management Framework (RMF) (National Institute of Standards and Technology, 2010). The Risk Management Framework provides a structured, yet flexible approach for managing risk to the business processes of a federal organization; however, these principles are crucial to both federal and commercial IT operations since they certify that the management of security risks is consistent with the organization\u2019s mission objectives. Additionally, they ensure the risk management framework is smoothly integrated into the organization\u2019s enterprise architecture (NSIT, 2010). Risk Management Framework The following steps identify the six steps encompassed in the RMF and define......\n... Rivers October 19, 2013 Project 1 Part 1: Risk Mgmt. Plan 1. Introduction Risk Mgmt. Plan Well for starters the purpose of this risk management for DLIS (Defense Logistics Information Service) plan will be similar to the purpose of any organization would be and that would be how to better protect and secure the company\u2019s IT environment. The importance of this is major since there is all kind of important data that is on and transmitted throughout our networks on a daily basis. DLIS we must ensure that we implement all necessary preventative security measures as well as policies and procedures. We must do this by first of all ensuring that we have really good antivirus software installed on all of our systems and ensuring that it is always up to date. The next thing is extensively configuring our firewalls making it more difficult for our networks to be hacked. Another thing is data encryption which is very vital in securing all important data for our company and clients especially when we are performing data transmission over the networks. The last thing I want to mention which will be part of policies and procedure is implementing various password and logon policies and procedures for security purposes as well. As I stated the purpose of the development of this plan is to reduce the risk of threats and vulnerabilities on our networks. This is vital because threats and vulnerabilities definitely present risk(s) to any important company and client data. ......\n...IMT 4762 Risk Management 1 Report Police Group: Sumanth Ramanujapuram Vinay Krishna Vemuri Deming Yin 27.9.2013 1 0. Executive Summary As we have been reviewing the current situation of Skyri police, the duties and tasks of Skyri police fall into the following categories: \u25cf Develop effective collaborative solutions with other operators and service providers. \u25cf Coordination of the goals, plans and work of the regional police districts and the special units \u25cf Management of the police service \u25cf Administration services to the public As with other public services in Skyri, the IT services in Skyri police is also outsourced. Currently all IT services are run by the new supplier \u201cITALL\u201d since last year. Since there are only two IT employees in Skyri who also take care of other public services in Skyri, all the IT problems in Skyri could not be solved on time. In addition, same as other public services in Skyri, there are no IT\u00adstrategy and no policies for information security, and the Skyri police doesn\u2019t have a personnel responsible for IT risk management. The employees in Skyri police don\u2019t have IT risk management background. All the risk management tasks has fallen to the management officer, who has no special IT either. We found that information is usually classified inappropriately. We also noticed loss of devices especially USB storage devices that contains sensitive information.

You can swing away without a care in the world! Even the most carefully planned project can run into trouble.\u0003 No matter how well you plan, your project can always run into unexpected problems. Team members get sick or quit, resources that you were depending on turn out to be unavailable\u2014even the weather can throw you for a loop. So does that mean that you\u2019re helpless against unknown problems? No! You can use risk planning to identify potential problems that could cause trouble for your project, analyze how likely they\u2019ll be to occur, take action to prevent the risks you can avoid, and minimize the ones that you can\u2019t. this is a new chapter 543 risks might occur What\u2019s a risk? There are no guarantees on any project! Even the simplest activity can run into unexpected problems. Any time there\u2019s anything that might occur on your project and change the outcome of a project activity, we call that a risk. A risk can be an event (like a fire), or it can be a condition (like an important part being unavailable). Either way, it\u2019s something that may or may not happen... but if it does, then it will force you to change the way you and your team will work on the project. If your project requires that you stand on the edge of a cliff, then there\u2019s a risk that you could fall.

Description When an entity makes an investment decision, it exposes itself to a number of financial risks. The quantum of such risks depends on the type of financial instrument. These financial risks might be in the form of high inflation, volatility in capital markets, recession, bankruptcy, etc. So, in order to minimize and control the exposure of investment to such risks, fund managers and investors practice risk management. Not giving due importance to risk management while making investment decisions might wreak havoc on investment in times of financial turmoil in an economy. Different levels of risk come attached with different categories of asset classes. For example, a fixed deposit is considered a less risky......\n...People and patterns: a case study of the relationship between risk management and knowledge management in financial services Ian Martin*, Aidan Prior*, Victoria Ward*, Clive Holtham** * Sparknow & Associates ** City University Business School Authors for Correspondence Professor Clive Holtham Cass Business School, City of London 106 Bunhill Row London EC1Y 8TZ Tel: +44 20 7040 8522 Email: C.W.Holtham@city.ac.uk Victoria Ward Sparknow 2 Dufferin Avenenue London EC1Y 8PJ Tel: +44 (0) 20 7 250 1202 Email: victoria@sparknow.net Aidan Prior Sparknow 2 Dufferin Avenenue London EC1Y 8PJ Tel: +44 (0) 20 7 250 1202 Email: aidan@sparknow.net ABSTRACT Key words: operational risk, knowledge management, communications, story, slowness, trust, community of practice, patterns This paper proposes that there is great value in viewing knowledge management as risk management. Knowledge management can be instrumental in developing individual and organisational responses to operational risk, which reflects the \u2018consequential\u2019 risks associated with being in business at all. The ability to handle operational risk in a global business depends on highly effective knowledge circuits. These circuits can be supported by information and technology systems but are fragile, need constant attention and depend largely on the capacity of individual professionals to work collectively in pattern recognition, analysis and predictive approaches and to form open channels of communication, bonds of trust......\n...

Issues come up when patients\u2019 expected outcomes are not realized due to one reason or another. Factors that may prevent positive outcomes in patient care may be quality management issues or risk management issues. Before a full introduction and analysis of risk management in my place, one has to understand quality management and risk management. In terms of quality management, they are issues that arise in the work place as a result of poor management and need to be improved on. They are more prevention oriented (Sullivan and Decker, 2009). In the case of risk management, it is about issues that are problematic throughout a health organization and may lead to poor patient outcomes. As described by Sullivan and Decker (2009), \u201crisk management\u2019s purpose is to identify, analyze, and evaluate risks and then to develop a plan for reducing the frequency and severity of accidents and injuries\u201d (p. 84). Risk management is not about monthly, quarterly or yearly assessment and improvement of programs, but a daily assessment of issues that arise in the work place that may lead to bigger problems if not corrected.

        "raw_content": "The biggest synchronicity in the history of synchronicities (Page 2 of 3)\nNoble Realms \u2192 General Discussion \u2192 The biggest synchronicity in the history of synchronicities\nRe: The biggest synchronicity in the history of synchronicities\nOOOOHHHhhh\u2026\nBy your awareness decided not to go, so it was the best choice.\nHere what you can do(Lyra&Tom) in your next woo-woo concert.\nFascinating story, Lyra. Thanks for sharing.\nOne thing confuses me.You talk as if you were with Tom. Are you the energetic writer who paints in watercolors?\nThe three possibilities seem quite logical to me, but could someone define \"bump on the timeline\"? And how could a synchronicity be bait for a trap?\nLightningEye wrote:\ncould someone define \"bump on the timeline\"?\nThis may help you better understand what I meant, an excerpt from my Realm Dynamics article:\nAccording to Jung, synchronicities are meaningful coincidences. They function as waking dream symbols and communicate the presence of something significant beneath the threshold of conscious awareness. Synchronicities tend to appear during hyperdimensional activity or prior to emotionally charged events and expansions in awareness. In general, they are precursors to either realm expansion or realm breech.\nMoving realm boundaries generate shockwaves that radiate spherically into the surrounding holographic region. An emotional experience several hours in the future may send shockwaves backward in time, which upon impacting the present realm induces vibrations that resonate and attract corresponding synchronicities. These meaningful coincidences share the same archetypal basis as the emotional event having generated the shockwave; the wave shares the frequency of its source. Thus synchronicities often precede learning experiences and carry a symbolic nature that reflects the nature of the impending event.\nIn fact, any perturbation in the realm boundary will inevitably generate precursor synchronicities that give information about the source of disturbance. A looming realm breech, for instance, will be preceded by foreboding synchronicities such as omens or the sighting of certain warning numbers. Because the archetype filters through a symbolic lexicon before manifesting, the same warning may manifest differently for different people depending on what symbols they find meaningful. Some symbols are more universal than others. Interpreting them should be handled no differently than interpreting dream symbols.\nI also think synchronicities can be intentionally manifested by the subconscious / Higher Self or hyperdimensional beings to get your attention.\nAlso see Val Valerian's article on Synchronicity.\nAnd how could a synchronicity be bait for a trap?\nBy fooling you into believing something is necessarily the work of providence just because it seems magical, miraculous, or beyond coincidence. Please see the recent posts in the Red Flags / Disinformation thread.\nAh, I see. Sounds like we need to remember to logically scrutinize our sources. Sound advice for anyone. Thanks for the link.\n20 Reply by holotropic 2006-04-27 04:58:27\nholotropic\nFrom: Africa\npokerboy101381 wrote:\nholotropic wrote:\ntom & lyra,\nI say this with the utmost of respect for the both of you : why give so much ???\nare there no risks?\neven hypothetically?\nEveryone here has given permission by default.(montalk.net/NR isn't advertised....no one is forced to come here....everyone found it on their own accord.)\nThey can only grow by sharing in this type of situation.\nright you are Pokerboy.I think you may have misunderstood me.Fair enough.\nAccoss the divide.\nDinkum Tom.\nit was'nt the content,it was the detail.\nI'm confused about what risks you're talking about. What risks are there in talking about this funny synchronicity?\nYou know what was a \"risk\", for me? Driving those 4,000 miles - by myself - from Portland, Oregon to South Florida, to move to a place I'd never been, where I didn't know even one person and had no housing or job waiting for me. Just showed up. Woohoo! Where's the beach! Now that's a risk.\nKind of puts the rest in perspective. haha\nAs far as \"details\" go though, I think I understand what you're getting at. But, speaking for myself, I don't live in fear of hypothetical risks related to revealing details. You can't live that way. Life's too short. A person who has that mindset will end up drawing to themselves the very things they fear.\nYou mean the city name? It's not like we know where they live and we own IRS badges...\nJust documenting a recent synch: I was watching a video of Al Bielek giving a lecture about the Philadelphia Experiment and Montauk Project. Skipped forward to where he drew diagrams of the hyperdimensional torus of time and how USS Eldridge shifted phase around the tube of the torus to become invisible, and also how the Montauk Project used alien technology to achieve higher order effects. Just then my mail program said I got a new message... turned out to be junk mail but I glanced at the sender and subject line which said: \"Lizzie Eldridge - Quality Replica Timepieces.\" Thought that was funny...\nMontalk- I know this thread has discussed the possible meanings of synchronicity, but when you saw that particular one, how did you interpret it?\nI've had too many synchronicities to count them all. Nearly all the milestone markers of my life have been marked with synchronicities, which makes for wonderful stories to tell. He're's the first one I remember:\nI was 4 years old, and was being prepared to go to the baby sitter down the street. This woman had a hellacious child, but she was my age and I could play with her. Anyway, I had this Bugs Bunny doll that talked when you pulled the cord, and I decided I wanted to take him. My Dad flat out said \"No, Sissy (the little girl) will just break it.\" I persisted and he jokingly said, \"Let's see what Bugs has to say about it.\" He ceremoniously pulled the cord, and Bugs said something I don't recall him saying before or since: \"Hey, why don't cha take me with you!\" My Dad and Mom sat there bug-eyed with mouths open. I took Bugs with me, of course.\nFrom later in life:\nWhen I was 18, I had a group of friends that included two gay men, Robert and Johnny. I lost touch with them, but found I was thinking about them a lot after I got a divorced. I'd moved into an old apartment building in a cool part of town when I began my search. I finally found a number that I thought was Johnny's, and I gave him a call. He answered and said he and Robert still lived together, and did I want to see them sometime.... I said, \"Sure, where do you live?\" He named the exact same cross street as I lived, and we all ran outside to see each other. They were in the building next to me.\nSkipped forward to where he drew diagrams of the hyperdimensional torus of time and how USS Eldridge............\"Lizzie Eldridge - Quality Replica Timepieces.\".........\nHoly cow! That's wild. Seriously! And with the added \"lizzie\" bonus as well!\nLono.....I was smiling by the time I finished reading your story. I could feel the happy reunion energy. Cool story!\nI had one very much like it, but even weirder that occurred back in late '94. It's a weird story because it's a \"cross roads\" moment, where literally, 10,000 things hinged on this one moment very much like the circumstances of the reunion you described. It's behind fork-in-the-road timeline moment. Instead I get an image of a spoked wheel. Or a spiderweb. It's hard to describe.\nBut back in '94 I was renting a room in Aliso Viejo, California (orange county) and my best friend from high school, Shirley, was leaving to go back to Israel and enlist in the military. We were supposed to hang out one more time before she left the States, but to be honest, I didn't want to. We'd been drifting apart, namely, because she was really immature and was always talking about herself. She was the youngest of 5 kids, so, had that \"baby\" mentality. EVERYTHING was always her, her, her. So, I wasn't really looking forward to hanging out all night with her, and so when she called me about it I was like, \"Um....I don't know.....I'll have to think about it.....\" Just hemming and hawing about it. I got off the phone and then had a lecture in my mind - it's only one night. It's not going to kill ya. She's leaving for Israel and who knows when and if you'll ever see her again anyway. So just do it and be done with it.\nSo when she called back later I'd changed my mind and was like, Sure, okay, let's go. So we hung out and went to all these different places, and then wound up going to the movies too. I don't even remember which one it was, but I remember as the lights were dimming and the curtain was going up she was suddenly like, \"OH MY GOD! I almost forgot! I saw Julie a couple of days ago! And she wasn't looking too good. She looked really tired and sick.\"\nJulie was a friend of mine from high school who I briefly roommated with after graduation. She was pregnant, and she and her \"husband\" (it was such a joke...He was 19 going on 2, and their \"relationship\" was a joke) were homeless and living out of their car when I ran into her in June of '93. I'd insisted that she (and he too, unfortunately) come stay with me for awhile, in the guest house I was renting from my then-boyfriend. I mean, no way was I going to let my pregnant friend be homeless in a car in the middle of a hot SoCal summer. Anyway, Julie and her \"husband\" eventually moved out of the guesthouse and moved on in life, and I'd lost track of her. I hadn't seen her since October of '93. So, six months by that point.\nSo when I heard that Shirley had seen Julie, and that Julie wasn't looking healthy at all, I became concerned. My alarm bells went off and I vowed....I would track down Julie!! Find her, and see if she was okay.\nJulie's name wasn't listed in information, so I went the only route I could think of...called her husband's parents in Mission Viejo. When I did, I actually got her husband on the line. ! He just so happened to be over at his parents when I called, and answered the phone. We were like, HEY!! How's it going! How are you!!! Oh my god! and had this totally animated conversation. Finally I told him why I was calling, and said I was trying to track down Julie. Where do you guys live right now?\n\"We're living in Aliso Viejo right now....\"\n\"NO WAY!\" I said, grinning. \"Me too!\"\n\"Yeah, we're living in this place off of Alicia Parkway...\"\n\"NO WAY!! ME TOO!\"\nThen he says the name of the complex, (can't even remember it anymore! haha) and I was like, \"Oh...my....god...that's where *I* live!!!\"\nNow it was his turn. \"No way!!'\nIt turned out that him and Julie were living on the other side of the complex. If you went through the front gate, you go left to get to their unit, right to get to mine. They were in apartment K, apparently, but he couldn't remember the building number.\nThat's okay, I thought. I will knock on every Apartment K door in the complex until I find her. (crazy stubborn Scorpio. haha)\nLater that night I took off on foot to go find her. It was about 9 p.m. or so when I set out. I passed by the front gate and headed to the left of it. Usually there were lamp posts lighted along the walkways, but for some reason in that area they were off, so it was relatively dark. And I didn't have to walk too far before I suddenly hear my name being called from a balcony above my head.\n\"Carissa??\" It was Julie's voice. I hear a guy's voice with her.\n\"Julie!\" I don't know how she could see me, but she did. I heard her tell the guy she was with to go downstairs and let me in.\nAnd that's how I met my infamous buddy Mike, from California. The one who helped me along in life in my 20's. Mike's the one who answered the door, with a big grin, like \"Hey! Come on in...\" Mike was Julie's friend, (I don't know how they met) but soon we became friends too. And later on, part of the same group of roommates.\nSo much stuff came out of me hunting Julie down that night. Or rather......... me deciding to hang out with Shirley one last time after all, and then Shirley thinking to mention Julie to me, which led to me hunting Julie down, and the rest being history. ! It's unflippin'believable. There's like a list of things that came out of it all, and hence, the reason why this \"synchronicity\" feels to me like a spoked wheel. This incident sits in the middle, with thousands of spokes of \"life happenings\" eminating off of it, everything connecting back to that moment. Among many, many other things, it led to me becoming friends with Mike, then roommating with him and his friends, one of whom became my infamous ex boyfriend Steve...the guy with the NSA dad that I mention in my book. And so on.\nAnd the thing with Julie is in itself a whole story (just like Shirley is, actually) There's so much to say there. For starters, we looked so similar and were nearly the same age. She's a Cancer/Virgo Tiger. I'm a Scorpio/Virgo Tiger. She was 5'2\", with blonde red hair, brown eyes and had a tendency to wear black T shirts with blue jeans and black Vans. I was 5'3\" with blonde red/red/red brown hair, of the same length as hers, brown eyes, wearing the same style of clothes. My ex K____ told me that from the back he couldn't tell us apart. She was also pretty psychic as well, like me. And throughout the rest of the 90's we would inadvertently \"follow\" each other around in life. We'd keep falling out of touch only to discover that we were living in neighboring apartment complexes. And let me remind people.....SoCal is a big place! Orange County alone is the size of the state of Connecticut, roughly. So, plenty of places to choose from. Yet we always wound up right near each other. Our paths kept crossing, like in '98 when Mike told me that Julie and her boyfriend Cliff were breaking up and Cliff was moving out...this is when I found out that yet again, Julie had been living across the street from me for the entire past year, unbeknownst to me. (julie and her husband had divorced by this point, and she had been with this guy named Cliff for a few years.) Mike told me that since Cliff was moving out, he was taking his fridge with him, leaving Julie and her daughter without one. But it was the same exact week that Steve and I were moving into a new place that already came with a fridge, so, we needed to get rid of the one we had. ! So when I heard that I was like, OMG! Tell Julie she can have our fridge!! And we worked it all out. She got our fridge for free, and didn't have to go without. As a single mom she couldn't afford to buy a new one.\nLater on we would both wind up living down the street from each other in Rancho Santa Margarita, and both of us would have one pet.....................a black cat. Okay, now tell me THAT ain't weird!\nANYway, it just goes on and on. There's so many synchs going on for me with that group of people during that time of my life. They're so \"out there\" that they border on outright reality manipulation and some strange, other wordly occurences being manipulated on some other level. I tried to simplify it, and still left out most of it. And I stilll haven't figured out what it all means though. It was such a crazy time though, that's for sure!!\nWow, Lyra! I can completely relate to that story, even the way it went round and round. Sounds like your life is like mine-- a bit charmed (or something). I know for a fact that people who stay around me much see the weird things that happen in my life, and they have to believe in something higher than causality, even if it's just for me. I've even thought that this might be the very purpose for these things happening to me, so that other people might see and start questioning reality. Sort of like a living witness, if you will.\nAre you still friends with Julie, or did she drift out of your life?\nOh, I forget to mention in my previous post: the week before Johnny and Robert came back into my life, I had a dream that my father was having a party for me. I could see two chairs set up, and I asked him who they were for. He replied, \"those are for Johnny and Robert.\"\nNow that's cool! Seriously. Wow!\nNo, we had a bit of a falling out. She and I were on completely different wavelengths in life. We started out at the beginning having some things in common, which is why we became buddies. For instance, she and I were the only two that I knew of in our graduating class who were already out on our own in life, supporting ourselves, with no parents in the picture. Her, more so than me. She'd been doing it since 11th grade actually. Working, renting a room, paying her own bills in life, taking care of herself. So we initially bonded because when I found myself out on my own in 12th grade, I asked her for some advise for how to find a place to rent, and just what it's like in general, and if she had any advise. So we had similar circumstances, and our personalities clicked, because we were so close astrologically speaking. But after that, we were completely different. She was pregnant at 19 and married to a dolt. She loved drama for the sake of it and was one of those chicks that was literally dating 10 guys at the same time after her dolt husband went to jail and she had an excuse to leave him. She drank all the time and was always out clubbing and hooking up with guys, loved to have guys fighting over her and being in the middle, getting all that attention, loved to pick fights with boyfriends just to give herself something to do when she was bored. Can't relate to all that, at all. She was kind of screwed up too courtesy of her crazy childhood, so, I don't know, there was a lot of differences, and we just eventually had a permanent parting of the ways. We were only in and out of each other's lives here and there anyway, so, no real loss there. It wasn't a real \"friendship\", just more like buddies.\nIn retrospect, I think I finally figured out what it all meant. For years I used to ask myself, \"Who is Julie....who is she....why was she in my life....Who is Julie to me.....\" Then I finally realized.....no.........you're looking at it all backwards. *Who was I to Julie.* And Mike too. It's not, Who is Julie to us, but rather, who were *we* to *Julie.* (and to her child...) I helped her when she was pregnant and homeless, during that critical time in one's pregnancy when being homeless in a scorching hot car, not eating properly, full of stress, can possibly induce a miscarriage. It lasted long enough until she was able to find another place to crash and stay off the street. So, a critical stepping stone. I also took care of the homeless puppy she'd taken in during that same time when she needed to go back east for a week and attend her grandma's funeral, and I gave her the last $20 I had and my suitcase for her road trip. Every lit bit helped she said. Meanwhile, Mike was looking out for her and taking care of her when her dolt husband went off to jail, and he continued to take care of her and help out her daughter for years after. I came into her life when she needed a free fridge....sounds stupid, but when you have a kid, have fun going without one of those. And as a single mom she couldn't afford to buy her own. And we were back in each other's lives again from late 2000 until mid 2001, after we realized we were living down the street from each other. But it disintegrated - \"coincidentally\" - months before I had the next big phase of my awakening, and met Tom, and left SoCal to embark on the next phase of my life. So in retrospect, it was all perfect timing. Things had run their course, there was no longer any need for me to be in her life (even occasionally.) Why? Because she was okay now in life. Time for both of us to move on to the next stage of things. And she represented my time spent in SoCal in the 90s, and all the people I knew or roommated with who were connected to her in some way, and that time period of my life was now over. So, it was all symbolic. Also, her friendship with Mike fell apart in 2000, which in retrospect was all \"meant to be\" and a case of \"perfect timing.\" They were tangled up in a non-productive \"friendship flirtation\" that was going absolutely nowhere. She wasn't willing to date Mike as her main boyfriend and always wanted him as her \"prop me up\" guy on the side, and meanwhile, Mike was always forever \"hanging on the line\" hoping that someday she'd wake the f*ck up and see the light and run off with him. Not going to happen. So I kind of \"gently nudged him\" to wake up to this fact, their friendship disintegrated, and because he was no longer holding out hope for her he eventually found and married his perfect match and has been happily married for 2+ years now, and last I heard, Julie is now happily married to the guy she was dating for a long time, and she has a kid with him, and he's going to adopt her daughter as well, and life is good. So, it all worked out.\nWhew! And to think, that's just the Reader's Digest Condensed Version! haha\nSome miscellaneous things to note:\n- Have had an increase in synchs again recently - many a day now;\n- Certain sources/avenues seem to consistently bring out synchs for me - My coworkers, for starters. To the point of ridiculousness! Way too many times they will be saying stuff that matches up exactly to words...or strings of words....that I just so happen to be reading either in a book, article, or on the 'net. It always leaves me feeling really dreamlike and surreal, like reality temporarily gets this strange feeling I can't describe, and I'll be left thinking \"Did that really just happen.....?\" The more unusual the word or string of words, the weirder it feels. Also, the Dolores Cannon material consistently results in synchs for me! When I'm reading online versions of her books while at work it always happens...and with her stuff, the synchs are multi-layered, complicated, connecting to things that happened earlier, thoughts I was having, and stuff that has yet to happen. It's really strange. Must be the nature of her material or something.\nThought I'd also pass along this recommendation for an interesting book on synchronicity. It's called \"What a Coincidence! The Wow! factor in synchronicity and what it means in everyday life\" by Susan M. Watkins.\nhttp://www.amazon.com/What-Coincidence- \u2026 mp;s=books\nI came across this book about 2 months ago at our local independently owned bookstore that specializes in metaphysics, religion and spirituality. I was scanning through all the shelves, not seeing anything that grabbed me. Then I saw the spine of this book which just said \"WHAT A COINCIDENCE!\" black letters against blue, and it grabbed me. Pulled it out and realized....I had found my next book to read! This book is really worth a look for ANYBODY who experiences synchronicities and has questioned them, or even gone as far as to document them and try to analyze their meaning and get some answers on how it all works. Ms. Watkins' synch experiences are fascinating in their multi-layered complexity, they rival my own in fact in terms of weirdness, and her dedication to documenting her synchs has been a motivation for me to get back to \"logging my stuff.\" She has also been left wondering on many occasions \"What's going on in this reality?!\" because some of her synchs are just so out there....another point I could really relate to. The nature of time and how reality is created is at the root of her book.\nThere is so much to say about this book, but anyway, it's a good for those who are interested in this topic, it's highly personal and down to earth and accesible, so you feel like she's in the room talking to you, it's motivating in the sense that you'll want to jump up and begin logging your stuff right then and there, AND she even offers up tips and ideas for how to interact with reality, things you can do to help boost the amount of synchs you experience. It's fun stuff!\nThanks for the book suggestion Lyra! Do you now if this Susan Watkins is the \"Sue Watkins\" that worked with (and wrote a book about) Jane Roberts?",

Sales slowed on them after the first season.\nI have rode one, I dont surf a whole lot, but i did like it better than my LF. Seemed to ride alot better. I would buy one but dont have the $$$ to send on that considering i only do it once in a while.

        "title": "I will give to the poor ... Luke 19.8",
        "raw_content": "s198g01 Lockleys Sunday 31 4/11/01\n\"... half of my possessions I will give to the poor ...\" Luke 19.8\nI always find it interesting that Zacchaeus gives his hospitality to Jesus, and it is because Jesus invites and accepts his hospitality, that he gives his money to the poor. In a similar vein, Jesus tells the rich young man not to give his money to him - to Jesus, to further his cause - but to give his money to others who need it. Charlatans and gurus most frequently want people to donate money to themselves.\nAnd this is particularly important for us to realise this as we approach our stewardship program here at Lockleys. I have to confess it is the first time I've had a professionally run stewardship program in a parish. I have always had an annual appeal and sermon wherever I have been. So I am looking forward to our time here in the next few weeks. I take this opportunity to heartily welcome Margaret and Trevor Bartlett who are already known to you and have clearly commended themselves in the program four years ago. Clearly you, as a parish, enjoy everything you do and it is wonderful that stewardship is approached in a similar vein.\nSometimes, some people get a bit \"thingy\" about money - but stewardship campaigns should be a happy time - it's when we \"count our blessings\" - and for most of us we do have blessings to count. It is not difficult to find people, not too far away, who are much less fortunate - those for whom life is a daily struggle. Only a week or two ago I was at the \"checkout\" at a local supermarket and a woman rushed in wanting the staff to call the police as she was being followed and menaced by a man - it seemed most likely to be a domestic dispute.\nIndeed, of course, the fact that Jesus commends Zacchaeus for giving his money to the poor, reminds us that Jesus' primary ministry was never to set up a new religion requiring large amounts of money to get it \"up and running\". It reminds us that his ministry was always towards others, and to remind the religious authorities that the basis of their faith was to be a blessing to others too. I have been listing \"the others\" recently. Certainly they include the financially impoverished, the beggar at our gate, but they also include the religious orphan and widow - those who have never known God as \"Father\", those who have never heard the good news - as well as those who have lost that intimate knowledge of the love of God they once had - those we used to call \"backsliders\".\nThe alien, the person who called God by a different name, was always one who deserved special care. Indeed, in the coming and offering of the first fruits, the recitation of the salvation history made specific mention of the time Israel lived as aliens in Egypt. The words are: \"When you have come into the land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance to possess, and you possess it, and settle in it, you shall take some of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which you harvest from the land that the LORD your God is giving you, and you shall put it in a basket and go to the place that the LORD your God will choose as a dwelling for his name. You shall go to the priest who is in office at that time, and say to him, \"Today I declare to the LORD your God that I have come into the land that the LORD swore to our ancestors to give us.\" When the priest takes the basket from your hand and sets it down before the altar of the LORD your God, you shall make this response before the LORD your God: \"A wandering Aramean was my ancestor; he went down into Egypt and lived there as an alien, few in number, and there he became a great nation, mighty and populous. When the Egyptians treated us harshly and afflicted us, by imposing hard labour on us, we cried to the LORD, the God of our ancestors; the LORD heard our voice and saw our affliction, our toil, and our oppression. The LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, with a terrifying display of power, and with signs and wonders; and he brought us into this place and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey. So now I bring the first of the fruit of the ground that you, O LORD, have given me.\" You shall set it down before the LORD your God and bow down before the LORD your God. (Deuteronomy 26:1-10).\nIt begs the question, were the signs and wonders done in the great events of the Exodus, done because Israel was somehow specially favoured by \"election\", or were they done simply because they were oppressed aliens and needed help? This is a fundamental question, for if we answer affirming the former - we allow that the \"chosen people\" (whoever we define these to be) have a right to oppress others without sanction from God. And this is not an academic question of history - it calls me to ask - are 'Christian' landlords allowed to discriminate against tenants who may be of other religions, or people whose marital status is different from \"normal\"? I believe it is right that the law forbids this, and it is odd to me that we find the law more \"Christian\" than some \"Christians\".\nI believe that Zacchaeus \"twigged\" when Jesus asked to dine at his home - that this action was not because Jesus was able to discern that Zacchaeus was rich and would provide fare suitable for himself and his disciples. Zacchaeus realised that the request of Jesus was deliberately and publicly to include him - a person who was previously excluded from polite society. He realised that this was the mission of Jesus - to invite previously excluded people - and to join in that mission too, he too had to reach out, not to Jesus, but to others who were outcasts -either through lack of financial wherewithal, appropriate marital status or whatever.\nI was only thinking recently that the creedal affirmation about the Church has an element of \"coitus interuptus\" in it. We say \"we believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church\" - this church which is special in God's eyes - holy - is indeed meant to be one. It is indeed meant to be sent out - to be apostolic, but it seems unclear what we are sent out to do. Hidden within the words is the adjective \"catholic\" which I was taught, when I was brought up, to mean \"universal\". Some years ago I realised that it actually means \"embracing all\" - which is why I used the phrase \"coitus interuptus\". The real climax is here in this oft misunderstood word \"catholic\" - as we are called and sent, not to convert, criticise, challenge or cajole others. We are sent out to embrace others.\nNow I do not here mean that we are sent our to become bosom friends with anyone and everyone - that is unrealistic, a huge ask for people who are reserved and probably equally unwelcome by recipients who may well be startled if people they do not know well began invading their personal space. We may well indeed lament the lack of \"community\" but the reality is that individuals hide in their homes and keep to themselves, because of fear. In fact, of course, increasingly these days, people's real home and community is no longer where they happen to sleep and eat in suburbs like Lockleys and Brooklyn Park - it is where the children are in child-care and amongst people's work colleagues, where people speak the same \"language\".\nWe are called to embrace everyone in such a manner so as to respect the personal space of others in the process.\nAll of us are wary that another's friendship may well be proffered in an effort to gain something from us - something that we may or may not be happy to give. We are well aware that there is no such thing as a \"free lunch\".\nOf course the change in location of where people consider their primary community has profound effects on our \"parochial\" system of congregations.\nZacchaeus was well aware of his status as a religious outcast, and it is this that Jesus' mission was to break down by his request for hospitality. Zacchaeus could well have responded by following Jesus and becoming a disciple, but no, he realised his task was to stay where he was, and to help (as he could) others who were outcasts in other ways.\nI said in one of my last sermons at St Philip's that our success as a parish will not be measured by how friendly we are as parishioners one to another, and expanding on this - nor will it be measured by how strong our Sunday School or Youth Groups are, or how much money comes into the plate. The true measure of our success as a parish will be how accepting we are to those who will never darken our doors because they express their faith differently to us, those who live their lives differently to how we do - those who will never be \"ours\".\nI believe it is as we share the blessing of unconditional acceptance towards others as God has unconditionally accepted us - that will be that we follow Christ. And I suspect that as we do this the differences between denominations will completely disappear and the ecumenical movement become quite redundant. I also believe that as we do this - we will find there is no shortage of money to do what we need for our task.\nIn fact of course, Jesus didn't ask Zacchaeus to give away half his possessions or to restore to people fourfold any he had defrauded - as he seems to ask the rich young man to sell his possessions ... and I wonder why that might have been. All Zacchaeus wanted to do was to glimpse Jesus, whereas the rich young man wanted more - he wanted eternal life.\nZacchaeus responds to Jesus' request by offering to give his wherewithal for God's purposes and I conclude, from this and from my own experience too that people do want to give their money to God. I think we would all be surprised how frequently people want to do this. As I was saying recently at my last event with the Mothers' Union, the first murder recorded in human history was committed because a person thought his brother's offering was accepted before his own.\nOur task in this time of stewardship will not be to convert, criticise, challenge or cajole others into giving more, our task will be to accept the offerings which will be forthcoming, from all sorts and conditions of people. The parable tells us that those who considered themselves \"at one\" with Jesus were quite startled that Jesus invited Zacchaeus to be his host. So our task during this stewardship campaign too will be to rejoice as we see the risen Jesus moving all sorts and conditions of people to give and to accept those offerings.",

        "raw_content": "071 St Matthias\nSentence: Jesus said, \"You did not choose me, but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should abide.\" John 15:16\nCollect: Almighty God, who chose your faithful servant Matthias to be numbered among the twelve apostles in the place of Judas: preserve your Church always from false apostles, so that it may be guided by true and faithful pastors; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.\nAll the apostles were constantly devoting themselves to prayer, together with certain women, including Mary the mother of Jesus, as well as his brothers. In those days Peter stood up among the believers (together the crowd numbered about one hundred twenty persons) and said, \"Friends, the scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit through David foretold concerning Judas, who became a guide for those who arrested Jesus -- for he was numbered among us and was allotted his share in this ministry.\" \"... it is written in the book of Psalms, 'Let his homestead become desolate, and let there be no one to live in it'; and 'Let another take his position of overseer.' So one of the men who have accompanied us during all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, beginning from the baptism of John until the day when he was taken up from us -- one of these must become a witness with us to his resurrection.\" So they proposed two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also known as Justus, and Matthias. Then they prayed and said, \"Lord, you know everyone's heart. Show us which one of these two you have chosen to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place.\" And they cast lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias; and he was added to the eleven apostles. Hear the word of the Lord, thanks be to God.\nPsalm 84 APBA p310\n1. How lovely is your dwelling-place:\nO LORD God of hosts!\n2. My soul has a desire and longing to enter the courts of the LORD:\nmy heart and my flesh rejoice in the living God.\n3. The sparrow has found her a home, and the swallow a nest where she may lay her young:\neven your altar, O LORD of hosts, my King and my God.\n4. Blessed are those who dwell in your house:\n5. Blessed are those whose strength is in you:\nin whose heart are the highways to Zion;\n6. Who, going through the valley of dryness, find there a spring from which to drink:\ntill the autumn rain shall clothe it with blessings.\n7. They go from strength to strength:\nthey appear, every one of them, before the God of gods in Zion.\n8. O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer:\ngive ear, O God of Jacob.\n9. Behold, O God, him who reigns over us:\n10. One day in your courts is better than a thousand:\nI would rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God than dwell in the tents of ungodliness.\n11. For the LORD God is a light and a shield, the LORD gives favour and honour:\nand no good thing will he withhold from those who walk in innocence.\n12. O LORD God of hosts:\nblessed are those who put their trust in you.\nBeloved, I do not consider that I have made (the goal) my own; but this one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the heavenly call of God in Christ Jesus. Let those of us then who are mature be of the same mind; and if you think differently about anything, this too God will reveal to you. Only let us hold fast to what we have attained. Brothers and sisters, join in imitating me, and observe those who live according to the example you have in us. For many live as enemies of the cross of Christ; I have often told you of them, and now I tell you even with tears. Their end is destruction; their god is the belly; and their glory is in their shame; their minds are set on earthly things. But our citizenship is in heaven, and it is from there that we are expecting a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ. He will transform the body of our humiliation that it may be conformed to the body of his glory, by the power that also enables him to make all things subject to himself. Hear the word of the Lord, thanks be to God.\nJesus said: As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love. I have said these things to you so that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete. \"This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. I do not call you servants any longer, because the servant does not know what the master is doing; but I have called you friends, because I have made known to you everything that I have heard from my Father. You did not choose me but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that will last, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask him in my name. I am giving you these commands so that you may love one another. For the Gospel of the Lord, praise to you Lord Jesus Christ.",

        "raw_content": "Understanding Interchange and Assessments\nInterchange is when the card payment transaction is passed between the merchant and the processor, between us and the payment brands (such as Visa\u00ae and MasterCard\u00ae), and between the payment brands and the bank that issued the card. A fee is charged on every transaction you process. The fee is paid by the payment processor to the issuing bank through the payment brands. It is charged to cover the cost to issuing banks for offering lines of credit and fraud mitigation.\nInterchange fees are determined by the payment brands. The rate that you pay for a transaction varies depending on type of card (debit, credit, rewards card), type of transaction (the card is present, a phone order, an online order) and your average transaction volume. The fee charged is also tied to the level of risk for that transaction; the lower the risk, the lower the rate. So for example, a transaction conducted with a card that is present is a lower risk and fee than a card-not-present transaction.\nIn addition to interchange fees, the individual payment brands may charge a separate assessment fee, which covers the operating costs of managing their network.\nPayment Brands Offer More Information\nUnderstanding interchange rates can be complicated because the payment brands do not have one set rate that applies to every industry or every transaction. Additionally rates are adjusted throughout the year. To learn more about current interchange rates, visit the payment brands\u2019 Web sites:\nDiscover (Web site not available, please contact Discover at 866.710.3356)",

        "title": "Zenfolio or The Turning Gate? Who are they for? - Graceson Aufderheide",
        "raw_content": "Seeing as I just recently moved from Zenfolio to The Turning Gate (TTG) I thought I would share my ideas on the two systems. In short, I believe that TTG is for users who don't want to pay for a web designer, don't want to completely code a site, don't mind learning some web languages, want a highly customizable site and don't mind putting in the time to make everything work correctly. Zenfolio, on the other hand, is for people who want a great looking site that just works, don't want to spend too much time on it, and like a template based system. Now, let's look at each system in a little more depth to see why I believe this.\nThe Turning Gate is an amazing system. It is basically a few different plugins for Lightroom which export code documents. These documents are then uploaded via FTP onto a server obtained through an online hosting company. TTG can be used strait out of the box quite easily to create a working site quite quickly. Their interface is straight forwards and easy to use. However, it will take some time to completely set up all the pieces and make sure they are working. Also, in order to make the most of TTG there are some pieces of code that need to be activated (its optional but I highly recommend it). This isn't hard, but it might seem daunting at first. Once the code is activated, thousands of possibilities become available because from there it is possible to code custom elements. For example, I hand coded the search box in the footer of my site and the \"Home\u2022Photography\u2022Goldsmith\" at the very top of the page. I have amazing flexibility with TTG, however there are some downsides. Users must be prepared to do some trouble shooting. There are lots of pieces in the TTG system and sometimes it can be challenging to get them all to work with each other exactly as wanted. At the same time, though, whenever I had a problem it was promptly and effectively solved on TTG's community forum. Also, learning how to code custom elements and do other things that aren't included \"right out of the box\" takes some time. Even with these cons, however, I love The Turning Gate because of the amazing flexibility and opportunity it offers. I highly recommend TTG if you are determined and willing to spend some time learning how to use all of its features because the payoff in the end is huge.\nZenfolio is a service specifically designed for photographers. To make a site all one has to do is simple create an account and upload some photos. It is that easy. Zenfolio offers customization in the form of being able to choose layout templates and site themes. Every page of a Zenfolio site as at least 3-4 templates but sometimes there are more than 10 (I never really counted). Zenfolio offers many default themes, but if you want your site to look more unique you can purchase a theme from some online sources. If that isn't enough, Zenfolio has a theme editor program which allows you to create your own theme. This system means that it is very easy to create a clean and beautiful site that looks unique in no time. Also, everything will always work because Zenfolio makes sure that everything is perfect. However, because of this perfect template system it is usually impossible to make some slight change or addition to your site such as move where a search bar appears or add a pop-up window. This is just about the only thing that I didn't like about Zenfolio because I outgrew the template system and itched for more options. I would, however, highly recommend Zenfolio to anyone and everyone because they offer an amazing service which is reliable, simple, and creates an amazing site.",

        "raw_content": "Velma Alberta Martin, the daughter of Deforest and Mabel (French) Steward was born August 13, 1923, in Cherokee, IA. Her childhood years were spent in Cherokee where she attended school. Following school, she was united in marriage to Lyle Martin in 1953.\nVelma lived in Cherokee all her life. In 1952, she went to work for J.C. Penney\u2019s and remained a loyal employee for over 33 years until her retirement on January 11, 1986. Velma was an active member of the United Methodist Church in Cherokee. She will be lovingly remembered by many children and families as the nursery caretaker, which she started working for in 1979. She had a loving and calming effect in the nursery and truly loved every moment spent with the children. On August 2, 2009, she retired from the nursery position. In addition to babysitting, Velma loved to play games, especially Sorry, Bingo, and Flinch. She also enjoyed Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy, and Lawrence Welk. Most of all she enjoyed spending time with family and friends.\nOn January 22, 2018, Velma passed away at the Cherokee Regional Medical Center at the age of 94. She was preceded in death by her parents, Deforest and Mabel Steward; siblings, Fern Wilson, Irma Thurman, Lloyd Steward, Wayne Steward, Doris Johnson, Jim Steward, Louis Steward, Beverly Swanson, and Betty McGowan.\nShe is survived by her three children, Louise (Duane) Martin Eades of Longview, Washington, Steve (Louise) Martin of Aurelia, IA, and Barney Martin of Larrabee, IA; eight grandchildren; nine great-grandchildren; other relatives and friends.\nA memorial service will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, January 29, 2018, at St. Paul United Methodist Church in Cherokee.\nVisitation will be one hour prior to the service at the church.\n\u201cI am so very sorry for the loss of sweet Velma. She use to babysit me and I have always had special place in my heart for her. Much love and many prayers for your family in this difficult time. Sincerely, Misty Bushlow\u201d\n- Misty Bushlow\n\u201c So sorry to hear of Velma's passing. I had to let my kids know of her passing. My memories are of her and Verina baby sitting for St Paul's church during church services.. They were soo kind and caring. It's not easy. They are probably doing their favorite things in heaven. Rocking kids and reading stories. Our sympathies to the family. PS Cool hat. Take care.\u201d\n- Glenda Parrish\n\u201cMy daughter ,Amy Halls and I had the pleasure of knowing Velma over the past 30 years. She watched Amy in the church nursery for a number of years,, and when Amy grew up and moved away; Velma would always inquire about how she was doing. We will always remember the kindness and interest she showed our family. May she rest in peace knowing that she touched so many lives\u201d\n- Scott Osborn\n\u201cSimply put: Velma had the gift of love, and her memory will be forever cherished in my children\u2019s hearts. Godspeed.\u201d\n\u201cAlways enjoyed seeing & visiting with Velma at church & when we delivered mobile meals to her. She always asked about our family. Very dear lady. She will certainly be missed.\u201d\n- Barb Henn\n\u201cI'm unable to attend Velma's funeral but want you to know I have many sweet memories of her. My girls always looked forward to seeing her in the nursery at church. She was always so sweet to them and they looked forward to seeing her every Sunday. She will be missed. Deepest condolences to all of your family.\u201d\n- Linda Christensen\n\u201cVery sorry for the loss of your mother...\n\u201cLouise, we are sorry for your loss. I remember that your mom was always so cheerful and friendly when she worked at Penney\u2019s . Prayers to your family.\u201d\n- Karen Aduddell\n\u201cVelma was a kind, sweet lady with a huge heart. She was a wonderful person to two young boys who surely needed someone watching over them.\u201d\n- Josh Willis\n\u201cMy memories of Velma go back several years to her being in the nursery during church services. A couple years ago Mark and I delivered mobile meals to Velma and she would still ask about our family. She was a wonderful lady.\u201d\n- Kathy Simonsen\n\u201cVelma used to watch my brother Josh and me over night when we were little. She was always pleasant and happy to see us. Wonderful lady! \u201d\n- Jeremy Willis",

        "raw_content": "I continued working on the record via Skype, of course. Mixing and mastering was getting close to finishing and the artwork was also having its final touches back in Oz. My wonderful friend Andrew Henderson who did all the artwork as a huge favour was just amazing at constructing the look of the record. While in Austin, I shot some footage for the \u201cI Can Be Some Good\u201d video with 2 of our crew members playing a happy couple - who are actually a happy couple - thankfully. We wrapped at the end of July and I went straight to LA to shoot a video for \u201cGolden Heart\u201d with Giovanni Ribisi and Natasha Braier \u2013 our DP from The Rover, then went on to London for the UK opening of \u201cThe Rover\u201d. We\u2019d been on quite a tour - Rob, David and I so finishing up was a little sad, I have to say. It was an amazing movie to promote, as it really stirred up some emotional reactions. I then headed to Japan to start work on Drake Doremus\u2019 new film \u201cEquals\u201d with Kristen Stewart and Nicholas Holt. My first time there, and it truly was fascinating. Fantastic to work with Drake again after our last venture together \u201cBreathe In\u201d back in 2011. He makes me laugh every day, which is a special thing to say the least. After finishing filming, I stayed on for another week in Tokyo to make 2 more videos. Michael Shanks came over and we used some pretty cool 3D scanning technology to shoot part of the \u201cBroken Bones\u201d clip. We also shot a video for \u201cTaste\u201d with another fantastic 23-year old director, Mackenzie Sheppard. The clip\u2019s great. All shot in one 19 hour day across 5 locations including alleyways in Shinjuku, The Robot restaurant, Club AI and that well known intersection in Shibuya, so we were pretty wrecked by midnight. Learning to sing the song backwards was a tad tricky but I think works as a pretty cool effect. I then flew home the next day, hoping that I could just lie down for a while but hit the ground running instead.\nWe released \u201cStorm\u201d and did a bunch of press, playing live for a few news outlets and radio stations with my old mate Tim Neal. I also started work on Neil Armfield\u2019s film \u201cHolding The Man\u201d and have been trying to plan the record launch shows as well as shoot and plan some other music videos. Tim White had a fantastically nutty concept for the song \u201cFly All The Way\u201d, all centred around infomercial world, so we shot that at the end of September, in between days on the film. I was going to try and shoot the rest of the \u201cI Can Be Some Good\u201d clip but finally realised I had too much going on and was running myself into the ground, so decided to hold off on that for a while. I feel exhausted just writing all this down. I\u2019ve actually discovered I\u2019ve had a low-grade virus which has affected my throat and therefore my voice somewhat \u2013 which is not great timing.\nThe other thing I\u2019m doing is preparing to play F. Scott Fitzgerald in Michael Grandage\u2019s film \u201cGenius\u201d in London with Colin Firth, Nicole Kidman, Jude Law and Laura Linney. Thankfully, mine is a pretty tiny role so I don\u2019t have too much to do but I still need to find the essence of the man so have been working away on that. I had a few days on that at the end of October and have a few more mid December \u2013 just with a couple of record launch shows in between. It\u2019s lucky I\u2019m only 21 and have loads of energy - yeah right!",

Without the departed Kyrie Irving and injured Kevin Love (concussion) in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals, James had 35 points, 15 rebounds and nine assists while playing all 48 minutes as Cleveland eliminated the Boston Celtics 87-79 on Sunday.\nIguodala, who missed the last four games of the Western Conference final with a bone bruise in his left leg, was evaluated by team doctors on Tuesday, the Warriors said on Wednesday.\nHill contributed 16 points to arguably Sacramento's most impressive win of the season, a 110-106 triumph at Golden State in November; Clarkson burned the Warriors for 21 points two days later for the Lakers; and Hood bombed in 26 for Utah in his only meeting with Golden State this season.\nKlay Thompson doesn't think the Golden State Warriors or the Cleveland Cavaliers need to apologize for ruling their respective conferences for fourth straight years. But any chance Cleveland has to win rests on the Cavaliers' ability to keep up with Golden State's scoring.\nFor the fourth year in a row - a first in American professional sports history - the same teams will meet in a sport's championship round, when the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers meet for Game 1 of the NBA Finals here Thursday night.\n\"The rest of the National Basketball Association has to get better\", Thompson said Wednesday, per Daniel Brown of the San Jose Mercury News.\nMbah a Moute just finished up a one-year, $2.1 million deal and hopefully they can squeeze him in with roughly the same pact as this past season.\nI mean, he knows he's LeBron James, and he knows who he is. I know one of you guys would love to be [that person]. He is averaging 34.0 points, 9.2 rebounds and 8.8 assists in the postseason after posting regular-season averages of 27.5, 8.6 and 9.1, respectively.\n\"These are the best playoffs I've ever seen him play\".\nAnd if you're wondering how we can be so dismissing of the Cavs, well, it's because they needed a Boston breakdown to get past a team that was missing Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward. Game 1 is tonight, and even with James playing at absurd levels the Cavs find themselves as significant underdogs. When they lose, it's because Steph Curry played poorly.\nPlenty of narratives are prevalent in this seven-game series - including former Jazz stars Rodney Hood, Kyle Korver, and George Hill all looking to win a title for The Land. \"So it's going to have to be grind-it-out games where the tempo is controlled and to do that you have got to have smart, tough guys on the floor\". \"That's just motivation to be the best that you can be as well\". This year they have averaged 101.2 points and scored fewer than 100 in eight of their 18 playoff games - with five of them in the 80s. \"We've been counted out for a long time this season\".\n\"It will be interesting to see how competitive LeBron James can make this Finals, but any game they get in this Finals would be a huge upset to me\", Van Gundy said.\nTrump, without evidence, accuses Mueller\u2019s team of meddling in the midterm elections May 30, 2018\nSerena Williams back in the Grand Slam groove in Paris May 29, 2018",

Should Coke move forward with the plans, it would likely supercharge efforts to thrust legal marijuana products into the mainstream, as the beverage giant is easily one of the world's most recognizable brands.\nCoca-Cola has already been diversifying as consumption of soda continues to decline. \"There is so much happening in this area right now and we think it has incredible potential\", said Aurora's director of communications Heather MacGregor in an emailed statement. The biggest deal so far is the $4 billion investment by Corona-maker Constellation Brands (STZ) into Ontario-based cannabis company, Canopy Growth Corporation (CGC).\n\"It's like so many things we see with Canada and the United States\", Greenwood added.\nCoca Cola's statement follows reports that it had been discussing a tie-up with the Canadian marijuana company Aurora Cannabis to produce a health drink.\nIf true, the talks could represent the most significant deal in the history of the cannabis industry.\nThe move by Coca-Cola comes at a time when Canada prepares to follow certain USA states in legalising cannabis for recreational use, after years of permitting it for medicinal purposes.\nWhile the THC in weed gets you high, the CBD that's also present in marijuana has been promoted as a natural method for reducing pain and inflammation, as well as treating anxiety, depression and sleeplessness. She said in a note to clients Monday that Coke is positioning itself for the long-term.\nBut testing the waters of cannabis-themed drinks could backfire, he said.\nCanadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had made legalising recreational use of cannabis part of his 2015 election campaign, arguing the new law would keep the drug out of the hands of underage users and reduce related crime. It includes CBD as well.",

        "raw_content": "The Man on the Bed\nIs There Life After Sobriety?\nArticles by Mel B. (Toledo, Ohio), sober 1950, written over the years on a variety of different subjects: from the foundations of the spiritual teaching of the twelve step program, to the problem of how to handle the sullen and resentful people who are court ordered to attend A.A. meetings. Author of six books on A.A. history and spirituality, he also was one of the contributing authors to Pass It On: Bill Wilson and the A.A. Message (A.A. World Services), the official A.A. biography of Bill W.\nEmmet Fox, Tapping into the Infinite Power Mel talks about Emmet Fox and \"Making Your Life Worthwhile.\" This is something, Mel says, which \"I worked up as a handout for people who have trouble thinking about a Higher Power.\"\nMel B. (Toledo, Ohio), Is There Life After Sobriety?. Mel starts with memories of one Sunday morning in the spring of 1948, when he had been thrown in jail in a small Idaho Town for being drunk and disorderly, and was subjected against his will to the preaching and bible verses of a quartet of visiting gospel singers. He was filled with fierce anger and resentment -- at the filthy jail cell, at what seemed to him the smug self-righteousness of the visitors, and at the violation of his rights. But in 1965, a nonalcoholic friend gave him a totally different perception of what had been happening, and he now applies that new perception to the enraged present day claim, by many, that court ordering people to attend A.A. meetings is a fundamental violation of their rights.\nMel B. (Toledo, Ohio), Jesus and AA: How Ancient Spiritual Teachings Are Linked to the Inspirational Program of Alcoholics Anonymous. This well-known writer on AA spirituality offers us a short but insightful piece on the scriptural foundations of some of AA's basic principles.\nMel B. (Toledo, Ohio), Elder Statesman: Bill W. in Akron, June 15, 1958. It was June 15, 1958, Founders' Day for A.A. in Akron, Ohio. Bill was at the gravesite of Dr. Bob and Anne Smith, where in a few moments he would deliver a brief memorial message. Mel talks about the emotional impact of that day -- how Bill simply stood before the headstone, talking to Dr. Bob and Anne as though they were present right before him (as indeed they were there that day, up the realm of the Eternal Goodness) -- and Mel speaks about the way Bill W. was now moving gracefully into the role of A.A. elder statesman.\nMel B. (Toledo, Ohio), Love's Ingredients. What is love? Dr. Bob told his people to look at Henry Drummond's talk on 1 Corinthians 13, where he explains that Love has nine basic ingredients: Patience, Kindness, Generosity, Humility, Courtesy, Unselfishness, Good Temper, Guilelessness, and Sincerity.\nEbby A short version of Ebby's life, based on Mel's book which came out in 1998, Ebby The Man Who sponsored Bill W., the standard biography of Ebby Thacher. Bill\ufffds Story in the AA Big Book tells of a sober friend who called on him in late 1934 to bring the Oxford Group message that saved his life and led to the formation of AA. But the friend, Ebby Thacher, eventually drank again and had a troubled life of frequent slips before finding a measure of peace in his last years. Bill never forgot what Ebby had done for him, however, and was his friend and supporter to the end, taking special steps to assure that Ebby had proper care in his final years.\nThe Psychological Aspects of Alcoholism\nWilliam E. Swegan as a young Air Force sergeant,\na Pearl Harbor survivor, who began his career in alcoholism\ntreatment at Mitchel Air Force Base on Long Island in 1948\nIn the early 1950's, William E. Swegan, together with psychiatrist Louis Jolyon \"Jolly\" West, developed a highly successful method of alcoholism treatment called The Lackland Model, which achieved a fully documented 50% success rate even working in the extremely negative atmosphere of a military base, where heavy drinking was a way of life, and most military personel were deeply hostile to anything spiritual.\nLouis Jolyon \"Jolly\" West was a young World War II combat infantryman\nwho became a psychiatrist after the war and teamed up with Bill Swegan in the\nearly 1950's to develop the Lackland Model of alcoholism treatment.\nTwo of the major secrets to his success were a highly effective psychological theory of alcoholism and an insistence that all the men and women in the treatment program had to be deeply involved in A.A. groups off of the base, where they could make friends with civilians and be relieved of some of the pressures of military rank and discipline. It was made clear to people entering the treatment program that the A.A. people in the surrounding community were respected and fully participating members of the team who were going to be helping them recover, and that at least one recovering person was going to be a key member of the staff at the treatment center itself.\nVictory Over Alcohol\n1. The Thrill of Victory Over Alcohol. A pamphlet which Bill Swegan wrote and used when working with newcomers to help break down their alibis, excuses, and stubborn resistance to admitting that their drinking was getting them into deep trouble. It was also designed to introduce them to the basic principles of the twelve steps, which were part of the basic framework of recovery in the Lackland Model, and to show them some of the enormous rewards that came from recovery from alcoholism.\n2. The Psychology of Alcoholism. Bill Swegan has found that this simple explanation of the basic psychology of alcoholism has given more insight to more struggling alcoholics and opened more eyes than anything else he has ever used in working with newcomers over the past 56 years. Even people with a number of years in the twelve step program frequently remark that this gave them more help than they had ever received before in understanding the underlying nature of their disease and what we have to do at the practical level in order to start getting well. The fundamental ideas go back to 1949 and Bill's classes at the Yale School of Alcohol Studies with Dr. E. M. Jellinek, one of the first great modern researchers into the physical and psychological nature of alcoholism.\nAfter the Lackland years, Bill Swegan continued to work\nin alcoholism treatment in Texas and later in California\nThe good old-timers in A.A. say that this short description of the kinds of inner psychological pressures that drive alcoholics back to the bottle is the best thing Bill ever wrote, and that it ties in beautifully with the old-time A.A. understanding of the recovery process. Bill shows us here why Steps Four through Nine are necessary to long-term recovery and real freedom from the full misery of alcoholism.\nBill Swegan giving an award to his friend and mentor,\nthe great social reformer Mrs. Marty Mann, the First Lady\nof Alcoholics Anonymous, at the end of her life\nAt the end of the twentieth century, Sally and David R. Brown rediscovered William E. Swegan and his alcoholism treatment programs of the 1940s and 50s. Bill's pioneering work had become largely forgotten by that time. But then the Brown's began uncovering references to him and the national notice which his programs had achieved while they were researching their great book on Mrs. Marty Mann, who had been Bill's mentor and patron.\nA.A. in the Military\nand Military Alcoholism Treatment Programs\nRoger W., \"A New Pair of Goggles: AA History through a Military Lens and some Military History through an AA lens\" -- the text of a talk given at the 18th National A.A. Archives Workshop at King of Prussia, Pennsylvania (Oct. 9-12, 2014). The most complete and thorough study ever put together of this important area of A.A. history serves as a beautiful example of good historical research.\n\"Glenn Chesnut on Sgt. Bill Swegan\" A video on William E. Swegan, born June 29, 1918, sober July 5, 1948, died August 17, 2008, 90 years old, sober 60 years. The incredible story of a man whose experience intersected many well known AA characters during the late 1940's and early 1950's was told in the autobiography of Sgt Bill S. His co-author Glenn Chesnut could not travel to the Fall 2014 King of Prussia workshop but sent his best and told this part of the story in a video which was shown at the workshop.\nCharlie Bishop, Jr.\nThe Bishop of Books\n(see his website The Bishop of Books)\nCharles Bishop, Jr. is the co-author with Bill Pittman of the basic AA history reference work To Be Continued\ufffdThe Alcoholics Anonymous World Bibliography 1935-1994. His library of over 15,000 items on alcoholism and A.A. history was the foundation of the world famous Chester Kirk Collection of Alcoholics Anonymous and Alcoholism at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island.\nTHE KIRK COLLECTION In 1995, Chester H. Kirk, in a generous contribution to the Brown University Center for Alcohol and Addiction Studies, established the Chester H. Kirk Collection on Alcoholism and Alcoholics Anonymous. The 15,000 items purchased initially with Chester Kirk's gift were amassed over two decades by Charles Bishop, an antiquarian bookseller and author of several research tools on Alcoholics Anonymous and related groups. Acquisition of this collection, one of the largest of its kind in the country, immediately brought the University attention as a center for the study of addiction to alcohol and other substances and to the history of attempts to treat or prevent such addictions.\nChronologically, the collection ranged from a leaf from the 1493 Nuremberg Chronicle depicting a drunken Noah to late 20th century studies. The formats were equally diverse: in addition to printed books, pamphlets there were periodicals, newspapers, dealers' catalogues, posters, audiovisual materials, photographs, 18th century engravings and 19th and 20th century sheet music. American in emphasis, the collection provided rich resources for the study of the temperance and prohibitions movements of the 19th and 20th centuries, hospital-based treatment of addictive behavior, and the 20th century evolution of self-help programs under the leadership of Alcoholics Anonymous. The collection includes a copy of the first book published in British-speaking North America on alcoholism, Anthony Benezet's The Mighty Destroyer Displayed (1774) as well as current issues of The Union Signal, the periodical of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. Related materials ranged widely, from those bearing on drinking customs (bartenders' guides and drinking vessels) to anti-drunk driving campaigns and studies of other widespread addictions such as tobacco and narcotic drugs.\nIn the years since the acquisition of the Kirk Collection the Library, in collaboration with the Center for Alcohol and Addiction Studies, has continued to acquire, by donation and purchase such important collections as Dr. Bob's papers (the Robert Holbrook Smith Collection), the Rutgers-Anti-Saloon League Collection of Temperance and Addiction Studies Periodicals, the Marty Mann NCADD Archives, the Ernest Kurtz Library of Alcoholics Anonymous Alcoholism Literature, and the Clarence Snyder A.A. Collection.\nBishop's List -- Fifty Books Tracing AA's History -- is the best-balanced and most comprehensive reading guide around for those wanting to develop a real competence in AA history. It includes just about all of the major works written prior to 2012, the books a good historian should have read thoroughly (or at least know something about) in order to claim real expertise in the field.\nWhat Time Is A.A.? -- in this beautiful little article, the Bishop of Books explains his philosophy of recovery:\n\"Alcoholics Anonymous is never late, sometimes early, and always on time.\"\n\"Co-Founder Dr. Bob told a newcomer he wasn't going to drink today and if he wanted to stick around with him maybe he wouldn't drink today. He didn\ufffdt require a lifetime temperance pledge or any other 'tomorrow' promise.\"\n\"The second biggest best-seller after the Alcoholics Anonymous Big Book was Twenty-Four Hours a Day by Richmond Walker .... the foreword advised 'If we don't take that first drink today, we'll never take it, because it's always today.'\"\n\"Our own experience over the past eleven years with Twelve Step Workshops has proven that anyone who is willing, honest and open-minded can go through the 12 Steps in twelve weeks or less, often less.\"\n\"In my drunk career, time was always my enemy. My time then was always tomorrow or the ancient past of failures. Always late or absent. Procrastination was a virtue.\"\n\"I wouldn\ufffdt change anything in the Big Book. Well, maybe I would like to add these three words to the title page: to be continued.\"\nCharlie Bishop's original article, an Open Letter to the A.A. Fellowship on Spirituality versus Legalism in Alcoholics Anonymous talks about the controversies produced when Jon S. of Akron published (in 1985) a facsimile copy of the first 1939 edition of the book Alcoholics Anonymous, as well as the Circle and Triangle logo legal disputes of the 1980s, the 1994 Mexican Big Book lawsuit, the German Big Book lawsuits which began in 1996, and the AAWS attempts (beginning around 2002) to keep anything being sold on eBay from being described as pertaining to Alcoholics Anonymous or A.A. in any way. (This same article is also posted on the Silkworth.net website.)\nLitigation: Or, if the Suit Fits, Wear It is a position paper which Tom Jasper of the GSO wrote for the General Service Board of Alcoholics Anonymous. In essence, it is a rationalization and justification for AAWS to use the corporate ability to sue, so that they can punish other people and compel them to follow their wishes, including any AA members with whom they are in conflict.\nDennis Bauer, 1991/92 Delegate Area 36 (Minnesota) responded by writing Litigation: Or, the Paradoxical Nature of Rights, a line by line refutation of the arguments raised by Mr. Jasper.\nA Proposal Regarding AA's Future is a proposal that Dennis Bauer's Area sent to be included in the GSC agenda in 1992. Dennis says, \"I received numerous letters and a couple of phone calls from staff and trustees claiming that they 'didn't understand what you are asking for' in the proposal .... Eventually, it was not placed on the agenda because, according to Harold Greene (past trustee) 'we don't know what's supposed to happen from this.' \"\nJohn Barleycorn is the pen name of the popular writer for the Waynedale News, whose regular column on the twelve step program and Alcoholic Anonymous reaches readers all over the Fort Wayne area in northeastern Indiana.\nA Nun's Story: Sister Ruth Finds God in the A.A. Meetings Summer 2005\nThe Right Side of the Page August 7, 2007\nWhack-A-Mole June 2, 2008\nAlcoholics Anonymous and Buddhism July 9, 2007\nI'm not a Nice Guy August 29, 2007\nCLICK HERE to look at his book \"TALES FROM THE CARIBBEAN\"\nJohn Barleycorn was the Old English mythical figure who represented the magic spirit of the barley and wheat and other grains that produced alcoholic beverages. When you attempted to \"kill John Barleycorn\" by burying the grains of barley and wheat in the ground, he would just \"come back to life again\" by sprouting forth in new green sprouts. As the psychiatrist Carl Jung explained, the only force more powerful than the spirit of John Barleycorn, was an even greater Spirit, that of the Higher Power whom alcoholics meet in the A.A. program.\nDon G., Off the Walls: Wisdom from the Road of Happy Destiny A 12-year-long odyssey, across the country and the world, collecting profound wisdom from the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous.

        "raw_content": "Centenary: The Loss of HMHS Rohilla\nNovember 5, 2014 by hhulster Posted in News\tTagged British pathe, Centenary: The Loss of HMHS Rohilla, HMHS Rohilla, Mary Roberts, Rohilla Tragedy, SS Rohilla, Whitby\nHMHS Rohilla\nBuilt by Harland and Wolff in Belfast, the Rohilla was built as a passenger and cruise liner and after her launch the Rohilla entered the London to India service operating from Southampton to Karachi throughout the winter months. In 1908 she joined her sister ship the Rewa as a troop ship, being designated No.6.\nIn 1910 the Rohilla conveyed members of the House of Lords to the Coronation Naval Review of King George V at Spithead, whilst her sister ship Rewa conveyed members of the House of Commons. It was not until the 6th August 1914 that the Rohilla was finally requisitioned as a Naval hospital ship.\nAfter being requisitioned as a hospital ship the Rohilla was adapted to accommodate her new role as passenger accommodation was converted into hospital wards. The ship was equipped with two operating theatres, complete with X-ray appliances. The work continued day and night in an effort to make her ready as quickly as possible. Overseeing the work was the captain of the Rohilla, David Landles Neilson. He was given command of the Rohilla when she was built, spending his whole career with the British India Steam Navigation Company.\nBased temporarily in Scapa Flow, the ship left shortly after bound for Dunkirk on a route that would take her down the east coast. The Captain hadn\u2019t navigated the North Sea before and had to contend with, German submarines, and mines scattered around the coastline many in unchartered minefields.\nMary Roberts, left, survived both the sinking of the Titanic and the Rohilla\nUnder war time restrictions the crew had to navigate their route using dead reckoning for navigation, war time restrictions meant that navigation lights were turned off, navigation signals were muffled and poor weather did little to help keep accurate courses. It is believed the last fix was taken and a new course set as they passed the Farne Islands off the Northumberland coast in worsening weather.\nThe Whitby Coastguard was positioned in a shelter on the cliffs that would, in good conditions have given him an clear view of the coast. He was aware of the outline of the Rohilla and knew instantly that the vessel before him appeared to be heading for Whitby Rock a treacherous reef system that would ultimately spell the end for the fine vessel. Under normal conditions the hazard would have been marked by the permanently moored Bell Buoy. However with the war conditions the bell had been silenced and the light extinguished. The coastguard tried in vain to warn the vessel of the impending danger despite signaling for thirty minutes the ship failed to alter course.\nAt 4.10 am on Friday 30th October 1914 there was a terrifying shudder as the ship hit the rocks at Saltwick Nab at full speed with\n229 persons onboard. Although the ship was grounded only 600 yards from the shore the weather made any rescue attempt perilous, within\nminutes the coastguard fired off the explosive maroons alerting the town to the unfolding drama. Coxswain Thomas Langlands had the unenviable task of informing his lifeboat crew that it was to perilous to launch the lifeboat in such bad weather. Miss Mary Keziah Roberts was a nurse and one of five women stranded aboard the ill fated vessel. She was unfortunate to have been aboard the Titanic as it foundered, she later described the sinking of the Rohilla as being more harrowing than that of the Titanic.\nDawn brought no further chance of launching the lifeboat, as the weather had not abated. It was still not possible to launch the number one lifeboat. The only other option was to get Whitby\u2019s number two lifeboat into a position opposite the wreck of the ship. After being rowed across the harbour, the 36 foot lifeboat was lifted over an eight foot wall on the east pier. It was a formidable task to drag the heavy lifeboat across the scar. Even though the hull of the lifeboat had been holed as it was dragged across the scar it had the task of attempting the rescue.\nEven so it reached the ship and with its crew of fourteen it managed to rescue seventeen of the ships crew. The second attempt succeeded in rescuing another eighteen men. After landing the men the lifeboat was in such a condition a decision was made that the lifeboat was not fit to launch again. It was dragged onto the scar where it was abandoned.\nDespite the courageous attempts of a total of 6 lifeboats under severe conditions, of the 229 crew, doctors and nurses originally on board only 145 survived. In total 85 Doctors were killed. Bodies of the unlucky souls from the Rohilla were washed ashore and collected by the townsfolk. Many of the crew where never found.\nMany of the crewmen were buried in Whitby where the owners of the Rohilla erected a monument to the ships loss. It was clear from advances in\nshipbuilding and vessels of that era that a new breed of lifeboat was needed and shortly after the loss of the hospital ship, Whitby\u2019s now outdated rowing lifeboat was replaced with a motor lifeboat.\nMany of the lifeboatmen were awarded medals for bravery including the captain of the Rohilla who was awarded the Bronze Medal of the Royal Society For Prevention of Cruelty to Animals for rescuing the ships cat. The Royal National Lifeboat Institution lists the events as one of the worst services in its history.\nRead more: http://www.eskside.co.uk/ss_rohilla/rohilla_tragedy.htm\nThe Inaugural Margaret McCoubrey Lecture\nNovember 4, 2014 by hhulster Posted in Events\tTagged Co-operative movement, Dr Myrtle Hill, Labour, Margaret McCoubrey, Pacifism, Suffrage movement\nWOMEN, WAR AND WELFARE:\nTHE COOPERATIVE CRUSADES OF MARGARET TAYLOR McCOUBREY\nDr Myrtle Hill\nRecent research has helped to illuminate the dynamic engagement of women in the social and political history of Ireland; this illustrated lecture explores the life of activist Margaret McCoubrey and her crucial role in the Suffrage movement, Pacifism, the Co-operative movement and Labour politics in early 20th century Belfast\nThursday 6 November 2014 from 19.00 \u2013 21.30\nVenue: The Duncairn Centre for Culture and Arts, Duncairn Avenue, Belfast\nHosted by The Cross-Currents in British and Irish Working-Class Life Research Group at Queen\u2019s University Belfast\u2019s Institute for Collaborative Research in the Humanities\nThe Ministerial Advisory Group on the Ulster Scots Academy (MAGUS)\nCentenary of the Battle of Coronel: Loss of at least 26 Ulstermen.\nOctober 31, 2014 by hhulster Posted in News\tTagged Admiral Sir Christopher Cradock, Admiral Spee, Admiral Von Spee, Battle of Coronel, Chile, Gunner James McVey, Midshipman Gervase Ronald Bruce, Private Adam Morrow, Queen's Film Theatre, Royal Marine Artillery, Royal Marine Light Infantry, Royal Navy\nCentenary of the Battle of Coronel:\nLoss of at least 26 Ulstermen, 91 Irishmen, Armoured Cruisers HMS MONMOUTH, HMS GOOD HOPE and Admiral Sir Christopher Cradock\nThe destruction of Admiral Sir Christopher Cradock\u2019s squadron by German Admiral von Spee at The Battle of Coronel occurred on 1st November 1914 resulting in the loss of 1,654 souls, 91 known to be Irishmen, 26 of them Ulstermen.\nUlster losses include:\n-15 year old Midshipman Gervase Ronald Bruce from Downhill, Derry, one of ten cadets lost on MONMOUTH.\n-Armagh man Gunner James McVey who was underage on enlistment and was likely the first Ulsterman from the Royal Marine Artillery to die in the Great War.\n-Antrim man Private Adam Morrow who was likely the first Ulsterman from the Royal Marine Light Infantry to die in the Great War.\n-Five more Ulster teenagers were lost; Belfast boys Stoker (2nd) John McAteer, Boy (1st) William Connell, Able Seaman William A. J. Wilson and Ordinary Seaman Herbert Kelly as well as Ordinary Seaman Henry McNally who was from Draperstown.\nThe Royal Navy, had spent months looking for the German East Asiatic commerce-raiding squadron known to be operating under Admiral von Spee in the Pacific without success. An intercepted radio communication, in early October revealed details of a plan devised by von Spee to prey upon shipping in the crucial trading routes along the west coast of South America. Patrolling South America at that time was Admiral Cradock\u2019s West Indies Squadron, which consisted of two armoured cruisers, HMS GOOD HOPE and HMS MONMOUTH, the light cruiser GLASGOW, and a converted ex-liner, OTRANTO. Cradock was ordered to deal with von Spee even though his fleet was ill-matched when set against von Spee\u2019s formidable force of five vessels, led by the armoured cruisers SCHARNHORST and GNEISENAU plus three modern light cruisers.\nOn 18 October von Spee, having heard of the solo existence of the GLASGOW, set off with his squadron from Valparaiso with the intention of destroying it. Cradock, who was aware that he was outgunned had been waiting in the hope of naval reinforcements. The Admiralty dispatched an armoured cruiser DEFENCE and an elderly battleship CANOPUS but neither reached Cradock before battle unexpectedly commenced on 1 November 1914. Deciding that he could wait no longer for reinforcements, Cradock determined to sail from the Falkland Islands to rendezvous with GLASGOW at Coronel, where she was gathering intelligence.\nThe First Lord of the Admiralty, Winston Churchill, issued orders to Cradock on 28 October instructing him to halt, pending possible reinforcement from the Japanese Navy. However Cradock had intercepted a radio signal on 31 October that LEIPZIG, the slowest of von Spee\u2019s light cruisers, was in the area. He promptly ordered his squadron north to cut it off and found himself confronting von Spee\u2019s entire force the following day at around 4.30pm. At this stage it is probable that Cradock\u2019s force could have escaped by sailing towards CANOPUS as with the failing light, von Spee would most likely have lost contact with the British squadron. Instead Cradock chose to stay and fight; however he ordered OTRANTO to break formation and flee. In difficult seas, von Spee moved his faster vessels out of Cradock\u2019s firing range; at sunset with the moon clearly silhouetting Cradock\u2019s fleet, he began to shell the British force, with SCHARNHORST\u2019s third salvo crippling the flagship GOOD HOPE and both GOOD HOPE and MONMOUTH were destroyed shortly afterwards, MONMOUTH under repeated battering.\nNewspaper reports at the time were confused and it was not confirmed until many days later what had actually happened to Cradock and his fleet. In fact on 4th November it was reported that HMS GOOD HOPE had not been damaged at all and on the 7th November it was reported that \u2018The Admiralty have now received trustworthy information\u2019 and that HMS MONMOUTH was ashore in Chile.\nEyewitness reports state:\n\u201cMonmouth continued to battle until her hull was riddled. She toppled over in the water and lay for a moment with her keel lapped by the waters, then plunged to the bottom.\u201d\n\u201cAfter the Monmouth disappeared, the Germans closed in on the Good Hope, the big guns of the two battle cruisers firing with marvellous accuracy. With flames bursting from her in a dozen places, her superstructure carried away and her guns out of commission, the Good Hope finally turned and ran ashore with water pouring into her hull.\u201d\nA German report expresses that:\n\u201cGerman officers bear testimony to the great gallantry of the crew of the Monmouth, which while in a sinking condition, attempted to ram one of the German vessels.\u201d\nAlthough GLASGOW and OTRANTO both escaped, 1,654 men were drowned on GOOD HOPE and MONMOUTH. No survivors were found and Cradock himself was lost with his ship.Von Spee\u2019s own fleet had suffered little damage, and sailed thereafter to Valparaiso to a rapturous welcome from the local German population.\nOnce news of the scale of the British defeat, and its consequent humiliation, reached the British Admiralty in London a decision was quickly taken to assemble a huge naval force under Admiral Sir Frederick Sturdee. This was promptly dispatched to destroy von Spee\u2019s force, which it subsequently did, at the Battle of the Falkland Islands.\nThe loss of these men will be marked within the introduction to QFT\u2019s screening of \u2018The Battles of Coronel and Falkland Islands\u2019.

In that time, they had suffered 94 fatalities. In the following five days they were to lose nearly exactly double that figure \u2013 186, in the vicinity of a northern French village which was to become the scene of a vicious set piece battle in the spring of 1915 \u2013 Neuve Chapelle.\nAmongst the rank and file who fell in this period of savage fighting were three men from West Belfast.\nPrivate Patrick Bannon\nFirst to die on 25 October 1914 was 24-year-old Private Patrick Bannon. Patrick was the eldest son of Peter and Mary Bannon, who were originally from Cork, Patrick himself was born in Monaghan. Both parents worked in the flax mills and the family lived at Milton Street in the lower Falls area. Patrick had been with the battalion in France since their arrival on 14 August and had seen much action in that time. In common with the two other West Belfast men highlighted, Patrick has no known grave and is commemorated on the Le Touret Memorial to the Missing.\nPrivate Robert James Foley\nThe following day, on 26 October 1914, 29-year-old Private Robert James Foley was killed. He was the son of Patrick and Mary Ellen Foley who at the time of his death resided at 59 Servia Street with Patrick\u2019s sister Maggie who worked in a linen mill. In 1911, the family resided a short distance away in Plevna Street. Patrick had been at the front for just over two months before his death.\nOn 27 October 1914, 36- year-old Private Joseph Lavery was killed. A veteran of the South African\nPrivate Joseph Lavery\nWar, he received the South Africa medal with clasps for service at Cape Colony, the Transvaal and the Orange Free State. Returning to civilian life, he worked as a dock labourer before re-enlisting on the outbreak of war. In 1911 his home was recorded at Johnston\u2019s Court off Durham street, where he resided with his wife, Catherine and his daughters Catherine and Mary \u2013 both under six years old when their father was killed. The family had also lived at Bank Street and Berry Street, close to the city centre. Private Lavery had been at the front for only six weeks before his death.\nOf the five officers who died, two had connections to North Down, and Campbell College.\nLieutenant Vivian Trevor Tighe Rea\nLieutenant Vivian Trevor Tighe Rea, was born in Mendoza, Argentina in August of 1891. An only son, his father was a steamship broker and the Vice Consul in Belfast for the Netherlands and Argentina. He was educated at Campbell College Belfast from 1905-1908, where he held a scholarship before going to Queens University, and then Trinity College Dublin where he studied for the Church. In a change of career he enlisted in the Royal Irish Rifles attaining the rank of Lieutenant in 1913. On 25 October 1914, Lt Rea was severely wounded in the front line. He was removed to a Chateau behind the lines where the Battalion medical facilities were, but succumbed to his wounds. He was buried in the grounds of the chateau, but that same night the Germans heavily shelled the area setting the chateau on fire and destroying it. His remains were exhumed and identified in 1921, and re-buried in the Guards Cemetery (Windy Corner) Cuinchy a short distance from Neuve Chapelle. His father arranged for his headstone to bear the inscription, \u2018I have fought the good fight.\u2019 In a very busy life cut short, Lt Rea was also a leading light in the nascent Boy Scouts movement, being scoutmaster of the Bangor Troop and Honorary Secretary of the Ulster Scout Council. In a mark of appreciation a stained glass memorial window was erected in his memory at St Comgall\u2019s Church of Ireland, Bangor.\nCaptain Henry Ousely Davis\nAnother Old Campbellian to fall two days after Lieutenant Rea on 27th October 1914 was Captain Henry Ousely Davis. Born at Church Road, Holywood in September 1884, he was the eldest son of Henry and Mary Davis. He initially attended Portora Royal School Enniskillen before moving to Campbell College in 1901. He remained there until 1903 and played rugby for the school First XV. He entered Sandhurst in 1903 and was commissioned into the Royal Dublin Fusiliers in 1905. He resigned his commission in 1910 and appears to have become heavily involved with the UVF, becoming a member of its Headquarters Staff. In that capacity early in 1914 he approached Campbell College asking if its facilities could be used as a hospital in the event of civil war. At the outbreak of the First World War he re-enlisted in the Royal Irish Rifles. Captain Davis was killed by shrapnel on 27 October 1914, and in the confusion of battle his body was never recovered. In 1921, his family received correspondence from the Imperial War Graves Commission asking for a description of Henry as they intended to open a grave to try and obtain and identification. Sir Edward Carson became involved in the matter, but no positive identification was ever made. Captain Henry Ousely Davis is commemorated on the Le Touret Memorial to the Missing, on a plaque in Holywood Parish Church, St Philip and St James.\nBoth men are commemorated on both the Campbell College Roll of Honour and the North of Ireland Football Club Roll of Honour.\nBattalion Background\nThe 2nd Battalion Royal Irish Rifles came into being following the reorganisation of the British Army in 1881. The amalgamation of two historic regiments \u2013 the 83rd (County of Dublin) and the 86th (Royal County Down) Regiments of Foot, formed one of many two battalion Regiments in the army \u2013 the 1st and 2nd Battalions Royal Irish Rifles. The regimental depot was located in Belfast at Victoria barracks which stood where the New Lodge is now. The main barracks entrance was at Henry Place which still joins with Clifton Street. At the outbreak of the First World War, neither battalion had spent any meaningful time in Belfast since their formation, globetrotting being the norm with the 1st Battalion posted to South Africa, India, Burma and Aden, and the 2nd Battalion spending time in Bermuda, Canada, Gibraltar, Egypt, Malta and India as well as South Africa for the war at the turn of the century. When war was declared however, they were in the less glamorous surroundings of Tidworth in Wiltshire. Well below their active service strength of 1,000, the 2nd Battalion received 224 reservists from the depot in Belfast before embarking for France as part of 7 Brigade, 3rd Division of the British Expeditionary Force, arriving at Rouen around teatime on 14 August 1914.\nOutline of the Battle of La Bass\u00e9e\nThe Battalion was involved in the first battle of the war at Mons on 23 August and then at Le Cateau on 26 August. Then began the long strategic retreat which confused many of the Rifles, as they had given such a good account of themselves against the best the German army could throw at them. The Battle of the Aisne in mid-September again saw the battalion on the offensive, and following this they spent a short period in rest billets before marching and being transported to Neuve Chapelle, arriving on the morning of 22nd October. At this time, both the allies and the Germans were \u2018jockeying for position\u2019, as what had been relatively open warfare slowly but surely ground to a halt. In the north Flanders plain, the Germans had control of the small town of La Bassee and the strategically important but geographically insignificant Aubers Ridge, (it rose to only 20 metres at its highest). The British forces were clustered round the lower lying marshy ground around Neuve Chapelle. On arrival, the Rifles set about trying to strengthen their position but were not granted that luxury by the Germans, and what followed was warfare in its most raw state with vicious attack and counterattack involving hand to hand fighting, and extensive use of the bayonet, all done under constant shelling by the Germans and what has become known as \u2018friendly fire\u2019 incidents involving British Artillery. Initially things went well for the Rifles. A German attack on 23 October was ruthlessly repulsed as an account by Corporal Lucy, a native of Cork, who went on to become a Lieutenant Colonel indicates:\n\u201cWe let them have it. We blasted and blew them to death. They fell in scores, in hundreds, the marching column wilting under our rapid fire.\u201d\nSevere German shelling from heavy artillery took place throughout 24 October, and the German Infantry attack renewed in the evening which led to hand to hand fighting and close quarter bayonet work. This attack was also repulsed with heavy casualties on both sides. Such was the ferocity of the fighting that the Corps Commander, General Sir Horace Smith-Dorrien issued the following order on 25 October:\n\u201cDuring an attack by the enemy on the 7th Infantry Brigade last night, the enemy came to close quarters with the Royal Irish Rifles, who repulsed them with great gallantry with the bayonet and made several prisoners. The Corps Commander wishes to compliment the regiment on its splendid feat, and directs that all battalions of the corps shall be informed of the circumstances and of his high appreciation of the gallantry displayed.\u201d\nThe morning of 25 October saw another attack by the Germans which breached the Rifles defences for a time until reinforcements from the battalion were able to force them out, again sustaining many casualties. More galling for the Rifles was the fact that they came under heavy shelling by British artillery which took some time to stop as it was impossible to communicate with the gunners due to the telephone wires being cut. On 26 October, the Germans broke through the Rifles line in a massed attack and two Companies, B and D simply disappeared, either killed or captured. The remaining exhausted Rifles, dwindling in number managed to rally and once more force the Germans back, but on 27 October were forced due to overwhelming enemy numbers and firepower to withdraw to the village of Neuve Chapelle itself.\nPictures courtesy of Nigel Henderson at http://www.greatwarbelfastclippings.com",

Running east to west between Weston-super-Mare and Frome, the hills overlook the Somerset Levels to the south and the Chew Valley and other tributaries of the Avon to the north. The hills give their name to the local government district of Mendip, which administers most of the area. The higher, western part of the hills, covering 198 km2 (76 sq mi) has been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), which gives it a level of protection comparable to a national park.[1]\nThe hills are largely formed from Carboniferous Limestone, which is quarried at several sites. Three nationally important semi-natural habitats are characteristic of the area: ash\u2013maple woodland, calcareous grassland and mesotrophic grassland. With their temperate climate these support a range of flora and fauna including birds, butterflies and small mammals. The dry stone walls that divide the pasture into fields are of botanical importance as they support important populations of the nationally scarce wall whitlowgrass (Draba muralis).\nThe origin of the name \"Mendip\" is unclear, but it is known that there has been human habitation since Palaeolithic and Mesolithic times with a range of artefacts being recovered from caves. Neolithic, Iron Age, and Bronze Age features such as barrows are numerous with over 200 scheduled ancient monuments recorded. There is evidence of mining in the Mendips dating back to the late Bronze Age, which increased after the Roman invasion, particularly for lead and silver around Charterhouse. The difficult conditions in the area were noted by William Wilberforce in 1789, which inspired Hannah More to begin her work improving the conditions of the Mendip miners and agricultural workers. In the 18th and early 19th centuries 7,300 ha (18,000 acres) of the common heathland on the hills were enclosed. In World War II a bombing decoy was constructed on top of Black Down at Beacon Batch. More recently, the mast of the Mendip transmitting station, micro-hydroelectric turbines and a wind turbine have been installed.\nThere are still several quarries on the Mendip Hills. Some of the stone is still carried by Mendip Rail; the other railways in the area closed in the 1960s. Although the Roman Fosse Way crossed the hills, the main roads generally avoid the higher areas and run along the bottom of the scarp slope on the north and south of the hills. The western end of the hills is crossed by the M5 motorway and A38. Further east, and running almost north to south, are the A37 and A39. A wide range of outdoor sports and leisure activities take place in the Mendips, many based on the particular geology of the area. The hills are recognised as a national centre for caving and cave diving, as well as being popular with climbers, hillwalkers and natural historians. Wookey Hole Caves and some of the caves in Cheddar Gorge are open as show caves; however, many of the caves of the Mendip Hills are only accessible to members of caving clubs. Long distance footpaths include the Mendip Way and Limestone Link.\n8 Transport and communications\n9 Quarrying\n10 Sport, leisure, and tourism\n10.1 Caving and cave diving\n10.3 Motor sport\n11 In the arts\nSeveral explanations for the name \"Mendip\" have been suggested. Its earliest known form is Mendepe in 1185. One suggestion is that it is derived from the medieval term \"Myne-deepes\".[2] Others suggest it derives from Celtic monith, meaning mountain or hill, with an uncertain second element, perhaps Old English yppe in the sense of upland or plateau.[3]\nA third explanation is that the name is cognate with Mened (Welsh mynydd), a Brythonic term for upland moorland. The suffix may be a contraction of the Old English hop, meaning a valley. Possible further meanings have been identified. The first is 'the stone pit' from the Celtic meyn and dyppa in reference to the collapsed cave systems of Cheddar. The second is \"mighty and awesome\" from the Old English moen and deop.[4]\nThe Mendip Hills are the most southerly Carboniferous Limestone upland in Britain. The rock strata known as the Carboniferous Limestone were laid down during the early Carboniferous Period, about 320\u2013350 million years ago.[5] Subsequently, much of northwestern Europe underwent continental collision throughout the late Paleozoic Era, culminating in the final phases of the Variscan orogeny near the end of the Carboniferous, 300 million years ago. This tectonic activity produced a complex suite of mountain and hill ranges across what is now southern Ireland, south-western England, Brittany, and elsewhere in western Europe.[6]\nTopographic map of the Mendips\nCross-section of a Carboniferous Limestone bored by Jurassic organisms; borings include Gastrochaenolites (some with boring bivalves in place) and Trypanites; Mendip Hills; scale bar = 1 cm\nAs a result of the Variscan mountain-building, the Mendip area now comprises at least four anticlinal fold structures, with an east-west trend, each with a core of older Devonian sandstone and Silurian volcanic rocks.[7][8] The latter are quarried for use in road construction and as a concrete aggregate.[2] The Mendips were considerably higher and steeper 200 to 300 million years ago,[9] and subsequent erosion has resulted in a range of surface features including gorges, dry valleys, screes, swallets and others typical of karst landscapes. These are complemented underground by a large number of caves both beneath the plateau and at the base of the southern escarpment. Wookey Hole is one example of the caves of the area. There are also areas of limestone pavement and other karst features. Dissolution of the limestone produced many of the gorges including Cheddar Gorge and Burrington Combe. Springs are a common feature of the eastern part of the hills, a number of which have associated tufa deposits.[2]\nThe Devonian and Silurian rocks are generally more resistant to weathering than the limestone, and form some of the highest points on the hills, including the highest at Beacon Batch on Black Down, 325 metres (1068 ft) above sea level.[10] Black Down is a moorland area, with its steeper slopes covered in bracken (Pteridium) and its flatter summit in heather (Calluna) and grasses rather than the pasture which covers much of the plateau.[11] The main body of the range is an extended plateau, 6\u20138 km (4\u20135 miles) wide and generally about 240 metres (800 ft) above sea level.[12]\nIn some areas the limestone and the dolomitic conglomerate have been mineralised with lead and zinc ores. From the time of Roman Britain until 1908, the hills were an important source of lead.[13] These areas were the centre of a major mining industry in the past and this is reflected in areas of contaminated rough ground known locally as \"gruffy\". The word \"gruffy\" is thought to derive from the grooves that were formed where the lead ore was extracted from veins near the surface.[14] Other commodities obtained included calamine (zinc ore), manganese, iron, copper and baryte.[15] The eastern area reaches into parts of the Somerset Coalfield.[16]\nNorth and east of the Mendips the Carboniferous Limestone layers are found in the subsurface and are exposed in Avon Gorge, and are overlain by younger strata in Dundry Hill and the Cotswolds,[17][18] where oolitic limestone of Jurassic age is found at the surface. West of the main Mendip plateau the Carboniferous Limestone continues in Bleadon Hill and Brean Down, and on the islands of Steep Holm and Flat Holm in the Bristol Channel.[19]\nThe hills gave their name to the rare mineral mendipite, an oxohalide of lead with chlorine with formula Pb3Cl2O2 which was first described in the area. A sample of mendipite was found at the head of Ebbor Gorge.[20]\nAlong with the rest of South West England, the Mendip Hills have a temperate climate that is generally wetter and milder than the rest of England. The annual mean temperature is about 10 \u00b0C (50 \u00b0F) with seasonal and diurnal variations, but the modifying effect of the sea restricts the range to less than that in most other parts of the United Kingdom. January is the coldest month, with mean minimum temperatures between 1 \u00b0C (34 \u00b0F) and 2 \u00b0C (36 \u00b0F). July and August are the warmest, with mean daily maxima around 21 \u00b0C (70 \u00b0F).[21] In general, December is the dullest month and June the sunniest. The south-west of England enjoys a favoured location, particularly in summer, when the Azores High extends its influence north-eastwards towards the UK.[22]\nCumulus cloud often forms inland, especially near hills, and reduces exposure to sunshine. The average annual sunshine is about 1,600 hours. Rainfall tends to be associated with Atlantic depressions or with convection. In summer, convection caused by solar surface heating sometimes forms shower clouds, and a large proportion of the annual precipitation falls from showers and thunderstorms at this time of year. Average rainfall is around 800\u2013900 mm (31\u201335 in). About 8\u201315 days of snowfall is typical. November to March have the highest mean wind speeds, with June to August having the lightest; the prevailing wind direction is from the south-west.[21]\nA combination of the rainfall and geology leads to an estimated average daily runoff from springs and boreholes of some 330,000 m3 (72 million imperial gallons). Bristol Waterworks Company (now Bristol Water) recognised the value of this resource and between 1846 and 1853 created a series of underground tunnels, pipes, and aqueducts called the \"Line of Works\", which still carry approximately 18,200 m3 (4 million imperial gallons) of water a day to Barrow Gurney Reservoirs for filtration and then on to Bristol and the surrounding areas. This collection and conveyance of water from the Chewton Mendip and East and West Harptree areas is accomplished by the effect of gravity on the runoff.[9] Water from the Mendips is also collected in Cheddar Reservoir, which was constructed in the 1930s and takes water from the springs in Cheddar Gorge.[23]\nMale Dartford warbler\nThree nationally important semi-natural habitats are characteristic of the area: ash\u2013maple woodland (Fraxinus spp. and Acer spp.) often with abundant small-leaved lime (Tilia cordata), calcareous grassland and mesotrophic grassland.[2]\nMuch of the Mendips is open calcareous grassland, supporting a wide variety of flowering plants and insects. Some parts are deciduous ancient woodland, and some have been used intensively for arable agriculture, particularly since World War I. As the demand for arable land in Britain declined, some areas were returned to grassland, but the use of fertilisers and herbicides has reduced its biodiversity.[2] Grazing by rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus), sheep (Ovis aries) and cattle (Bos taurus) maintains the grassland habitat.\nOf the many bird species found in the Mendips, the peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus), which has gradually recolonised the area since the 1980s, is particularly significant. It breeds on sea and inland cliffs and on the faces of active and disused quarries. The upland heaths of the west Mendips have recently increased in ornithological importance due to colonisation by the Dartford warbler (Sylvia undata), which can be found at Black Down and Crook Peak. In Britain, this species is usually associated with lowland heath. The woodlands at Stock Hill are a breeding site for nightjars (Caprimulgus europaeus) and long-eared owls (Asio otus). The Waldegrave Pool, part of Priddy Mineries, is an important site for dragonflies, including downy emerald (Cordulia aenea) and four-spotted chaser (Libellula quadrimaculata). Waldegrave Pool is the only Mendip breeding site for downy emerald dragonflies.[2] In 2007 the first confirmed sighting of a red kite (Milvus milvus) on the Mendips was made at Charterhouse.[24]\nA range of important small mammals are found in the area, including the hazel dormouse (Muscardinus avellanarius) and bats. The hazel dormouse is restricted largely to coppice woodland and scrub, while the bats, including the nationally rare lesser (Rhinolophus hipposideros) and greater horseshoe bats (Rhinolophus ferrumequinum), have a number of colonies in buildings, caves, and mines in the area. A rare and endangered species, the greater horseshoe bat is protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 and is listed in Annex II of the 1992 European Community Habitats Directive.[25] Amphibians such as the great crested newt (Triturus cristatus) have a wide distribution across the Mendips and are often found in flooded disused quarries.\nSeveral rare butterflies are indigenous to the area, including the nationally scarce pearl-bordered fritillary (Boloria euphrosyne), Duke of Burgundy (Hamearis lucina), and white-letter hairstreak (Satyrium w-album). The large blue butterfly (Maculinea arion) became extinct in the hills in the late 1970s, since when a research project has been undertaken into its ecology and reintroduction.[2] The white-clawed crayfish is also nationally rare and is a declining species with small populations in a tributary of the Mells River and the River Chew.[26]\nThe dry stone walls that divide the pasture into fields are a well-known feature of the Mendips. Constructed from local limestone in an \"A frame\" design, the walls are strong yet contain no mortar; many have been neglected and allowed to disintegrate, or have been replaced or contained by a mix of barbed wire and sheep fencing. These dry-stone walls are of botanical importance as they support important populations of the nationally scarce wall whitlowgrass (Draba muralis).[27] Amongst the plants which occur in the area are the Cheddar pink (Dianthus gratianopolitanus), purple gromwell (Lithospermum purpurocaeruleum), white rock-rose (Helianthemum apenninum), Somerset hair-grass (Koeleria vallesiana), and starved wood-sedge (Carex depauperata).[2]\nSee also: Mining in Roman Britain\nRoman lead mines at Charterhouse\nTwenty Palaeolithic sites have been identified in the Mendips, of which eleven represent faunal remains and lithic artefacts recovered from caves. The remaining eight sites refer to surface lithic discoveries, and the artefacts found include points, scrapers, and handaxes. Twenty-seven Mesolithic finds are represented by flint and chert lithics.[28] Large numbers of artefacts have been found near Neolithic, Iron Age, and Bronze Age features, such as the barrows and forts around Priddy and at Dolebury Warren.[29] The caves of Cheddar Gorge have yielded many archaeological remains, as flood waters have washed artefacts and bones into the caves and preserved them in silt. The Cheddar Man, Britain's oldest complete skeleton, was found in Gough's Cave, part of the Cheddar Complex.[30]\nWithin the Mendip Hills AONB, good evidence exists for 286 definite examples of round barrows,[31] including the Priddy Nine Barrows and Ashen Hill Barrow Cemeteries.[32][33][34] The Historic England Archive holds over 1,200 entries for the area, and there are over 600 listed buildings,[35] in addition to over 200 scheduled ancient monuments.[36] These protected monuments range from prehistoric barrows and hillforts to the Black Down bombing decoy from the Second World War.[35]\nSettlement on the Mendip Hills appears to fall into two types. The first, apparent in the Neolithic and Bronze Age Britain periods, and repeated on a small scale in the Middle Ages and post-medieval era, comprised occupation by self-sufficient groups in small communities or isolated farms. The second was represented in the Iron Age Britain and Roman periods by large sites with specialist functions, existing by virtue of their ability to exert power over lowland producers. From the Iron Age onward the ownership of land took on increasing importance, with large landholdings based on the mines or on stock grazing, denying settlers access to the plateau or forcing them off the hills.[37]\nThere is evidence of mining dating back to the late Bronze Age, when there were technological changes in metal-working indicating the use of lead. The Roman invasion, and possibly the preceding period of involvement in the internal affairs of the south of England, was inspired, in part, by the mineral wealth of the Mendips.[38] Much of the attraction of the lead mines may have been the potential for the extraction of silver;[39] the Latin \"EX ARG VEB\" stamps on the Mendip lead pigs specify a de-silvering process and cast silver ingots have been found.[40] The silver coinage of the Dobunni and Durotriges is also likely to reflect the availability of silver from the mines.\nBy the end of the medieval period a complex body of customary law had come into existence dealing with the four \"Mendip mineries\". That the medieval control was in the hands of the monastic foundations may indicate some continuity of tenure of large-scale holdings, focused on the mines, from the Roman period.[41]\nWilliam Wilberforce's visit to Cheddar in 1789, during which he saw the poor circumstances of the locals, inspired Hannah More to begin her work improving the conditions of the Mendip miners and agricultural workers.[42] Under her influence, schools were built and children were formally instructed in reading and Christian doctrine. Between 1770 and 1813 some 7,300 ha (18,000 acres) of land on the hills were enclosed, mainly with dry stone walls that today form a key part of the landscape. In 2006 funding was obtained to maintain and improve the walls, which had steadily deteriorated over the years.[43]\nA view across Black Down from Beacon Batch, highest point in Mendip\nOver 300 \"Mendip Motor Cars\" were built by an engineering works based in Chewton Mendip in the years immediately before and after World War I.[44] In World War II a bombing decoy was constructed on top of Black Down at Beacon Batch in an attempt to confuse bombers aiming to damage the city of Bristol, and piles of stones (known as cairns) were created to prevent enemy aircraft using the hilltop as a landing site.[45]\nIn the 1960s, the tallest mast in the region at 293 metres (961 ft) above ground level, the Mendip UHF television transmitter, was installed on Pen Hill near Wells, one of the highest points of the Mendips.[46] The transmitter's antenna rises to almost 589 metres (1,932 ft) above sea level. Since 2003, arguments have raged over plans to erect a wind turbine near Chewton Mendip. The proposal was initially rejected by Mendip District Council, which enjoyed the support of a range of local groups and organisations, on the grounds that the environmental impact on the edge of the AONB outweighed the nominal amount of electricity which would be generated. In April 2006, however, a planning enquiry gave Ecotricity permission to build a 102 m (335 ft) turbine during the following year.[47][48]\nThe Mendip Power Group are installing micro-hydroelectric turbines in a number of historic former watermills.[49] The first to start electricity generation was Tellisford Mill, on the River Frome, which began operating in 2006 and produces 50\u201355 kW.[49] Other mills in the Group, together with initial assessments of their capacity, include: Stowford Mill (37 kW) and Shawford Mill (31 kW), Jackdaws Iron Works (10 kW), Glencot House (5.8 kW), Burcott Mill (5.2 kW), Bleadney Mill (5.4 kW), Coleford Mill (6.6 kW), Old Mill (5.2 kW) and Farrants Mill (9.9 kW).[49]\nLogo of the Mendip Hills AONB at Burrington Combe\nThe western end of the Mendip Hills has, since 1972, been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) under the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949.[50][51] The Mendip Society, which was formed in 1965, helps to raise awareness of this designation and protect the area.[52] The society now has 700 members and runs a programme of guided walks and educational presentations. The society also has a small grants fund to assist communities with the conservation and enhancement of the landscape and to encourage its enjoyment and celebration.[53]\nAs their landscapes have similar scenic qualities, AONBs may be compared to the national parks of England and Wales. AONBs are created under the same legislation as the national parks, the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949.[51] In contrast to national parks, which have their own authorities and legal power to prevent unsympathetic development, very few statutory duties are imposed on the local authorities within an AONB. However, further regulation and protection of AONBs was added by the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000.[54]\nIn 2009 proposals were being prepared by the Mendip AONB in an attempt to get the Mendips designated as a Geopark,[55] which is defined by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in its UNESCO Geoparks International Network of Geoparks programme as \"A territory encompassing one or more sites of scientific importance, not only for geological reasons but also by virtue of its archaeological, ecological or cultural value.\"[56]\nThe Mendip Hills Partnership, which performs an administrative role, includes the five local authorities that cover the AONB, statutory bodies such as the Countryside Agency and English Nature, together with parish councils and other organisations and groups that have an interest in the conservation and care of the area. The Mendip Hills AONB staff unit of the partnership is based at the Charterhouse Centre in the heart of the AONB. The AONB Unit consists of four staff: a manager, project officer, support officer and part-time planning officer. They are supported by 20 volunteer rangers.[57] In 2005 a proposal was submitted to the Countryside Agency to extend the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty to Steep Holm and Brean Down in the west and towards Frome in the east.[58]\nMany of the villages on the Mendips have their own parish councils, which have some responsibility for local issues. Local people also elect councillors to district councils or to unitary authorities. The 198 km2 (76 sq mi) of the AONB are split across four districts: Mendip District Council 87.67 km2 (33.8 sq mi), Sedgemoor District Council 34.03 km2 (13.1 sq mi), Bath and North East Somerset Council 36.95 km2 (14.3 sq mi), and North Somerset Council 39.35 km2 (15.2 sq mi).[1] Each of the villages is also part of a parliamentary constituency: Wells, Weston-super-Mare or North East Somerset. The area is also part of the South West England European Parliament constituency. Avon and Somerset Constabulary provides police services to the area.\nThe population on the higher plateau is widely dispersed in small farms and hamlets, but, rather than working in agriculture or forestry, most people now commute to employment in surrounding cities and towns. The largest village on the plateau on the western Mendips is Priddy, which had a population of 624 people at the time of the 2011 census[59] along with the smaller hamlet of Charterhouse.[2] The larger villages and towns are on the lower slopes of the western hills, often in river valleys. Axbridge, with a population of 2,057,[60] and Cheddar (population 5,755),[60] both within the Sedgemoor district and the Mendip town of Shepton Mallet (10,369),[61] and the city of Wells (10,636)[62] are along the southern border of the hills. The North Somerset parishes of Blagdon (1,116),[63] and the parishes of Compton Martin (508),[64] East Harptree (644)[65] and West Harptree (439),[66] lie along the northern edge.\nFurther east are the towns of Midsomer Norton and Radstock and the village of Paulton (population 5,302)[67] within the unitary authority of Bath and North East Somerset.\nPensford Viaduct (disused)\nIn the middle of the 1st century, ancient tracks across the hills were superseded by the Roman Fosse Way, from Bath to Ilchester, a branch of which served the Charterhouse lead mines.[68] Stratton-on-the-Fosse and Lydford-on-Fosse, two villages of the Mendips, reflect the arrival of this new road. Much of the high plateau, however, remained uncultivated and unenclosed until the 18th century, resulting in many roads remaining as narrow winding lanes between high banks and hedges or stone walls. Where the tracks had their origins as drovers roads, they typically become open roads with wide verges.[69] The roads tend to follow the line of gorges and valleys, as at Cheddar Gorge.\nThe more major of the current roads often started as turnpikes in the 16th century. These avoid the highest areas of the hills. To the north of the western part of the Mendips, the A368 separates the hills from the Chew Valley,[70] while on the southern edge the A371 similarly runs along the bottom of the scarp slope between the hills and the Somerset Levels.[71] The western end of the hills is crossed by the M5 motorway and A38. Further east, and running almost north to south, are the A37 and A39.\nDuring the late 19th and early 20th century, the Bristol and North Somerset Railway ran roughly parallel to the A37. Further south and west, the Cheddar Valley Line and Wrington Vale Light Railway, branches of the Bristol and Exeter Railway, served towns and villages from Cheddar to Wells.[72][73] In the east, the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway ran south from Bath into Dorset, and also served Wells. These have all now closed, but Mendip Rail has freight lines to carry limestone from the quarries of the Mendip Hills. There is also the East Somerset Railway which is an operational heritage railway. The Somerset Coal Canal reached some of the pits of the Somerset Coalfield in the eastern end of the Mendips.[74][75][76][77][78]\nMain article: Quarries of the Mendip Hills\nWestern extension of Whatley Quarry\nIn recent centuries the Mendips, like the Cotswolds to the north, have been quarried for stone to build the cities of Bath and Bristol, as well as smaller towns in Somerset. The quarries are now major suppliers of road stone to southern England,[79] among them producing around twelve million tonnes of limestone every year, employing over two thousand people, and turning over approximately \u00a3150 million per annum.[80]\nPart of Cheddar Gorge, seen from the air\nThere are two main rock types on the Mendips: the Devonian sandstones visible around Blackdown and Downhead and the Carboniferous Limestones, which dominate the hills and surround the older rock formations.[28] There are nine active quarries and a host of disused sites, several of which have been designated as geological Sites of Special Scientific Interest by English Nature. Because of the effect quarrying has on the environment and local communities, a campaign has been started to halt the creation of any new quarries and to restrict the activities and expansion of the existing ones.[81]\nSport, leisure, and tourism\nThe Mendips are home to a wide range of outdoor sports and leisure activities, including hunting, caving, climbing, and abseiling. The rich variety of fauna and flora also makes it attractive for hillwalking and those interested in natural history.[82][83]\nMain article: Caves of the Mendip Hills\nStalagmites and stalactites in Gough's Cave\nLarge areas of limestone on the Mendips have been worn away by water, making the hills a national centre for caving. Some of the caves have been known about since the establishment of the Mendip lead mining industry in Roman times. However, many have been discovered or explored only in the 20th century.[84] Specialist equipment and knowledge is required to visit the vast majority of the caves, but Cheddar Gorge and Wookey Hole Caves are two show caves which are easily accessible to the public. The active Mendip Caving Group and other local caving organisations organise trips and continue to discover new caverns.\nThe Hills conceal the largest underground river system in Britain;[85] attempts to move from one cave to another through the underground rivers led to the development of cave diving in Britain. The first cave dive was attempted at Swildon's Hole in 1934, and the first successful dive was achieved the following year at Wookey Hole Caves, which has the deepest sump in Britain at 76 m (250 ft).[86] The cave complexes at St. Dunstan's Well Catchment,[87] Lamb Leer,[88] and Priddy Caves[89] have been identified as Sites of Special Scientific Interest. The deepest cave in the Mendip Hills is Charterhouse Cave with a vertical range of 220 m (722 ft).[90]\nMany caves in the Mendip area were excavated for archaeological and natural history studies by pioneer explorer Herbert E. Balch and were expertly photographed by caver Harry Savory early in the 20th century using huge cameras, glass plates and flash powder.[91]\nA marker for the Mendip Pub Trail at Charterhouse\nSeveral sites on the Mendips are designated as open access land, and there are many footpaths and bridleways that are generally clearly marked.\nThe Limestone Link is a 58-kilometre (36 mi) long-distance footpath from the Mendips to the Cotswolds, and the Mendip Way covers 80 km (50 mi) from Weston-super-Mare to Frome. The western section runs from the Bristol Channel at Uphill Cliff, affording views over the Somerset Levels, crosses the central Mendip plateau leading down to Cheddar Gorge, and then continues to Wells and Frome.[92] The much longer Monarch's Way runs for 990 km (620 mi), from Worcester to Shoreham-by-Sea in West Sussex. It closely follows the route taken by Charles II after his defeat at the Battle of Worcester in 1651. The route enters Somerset near Chewton Mendip and crosses the Mendip Hills heading for Wells.[93] A shorter local path, the 72-kilometre (45 mi) long Mendip Pub Trail, connects six pubs owned by Butcombe Brewery. The trail runs from Hinton Blewett through Priddy, Axbridge, Bleadon, Rowberrow, and Compton Martin.[94]\nVarious forms of oval short-track racing, including F1 and F2 stock cars,[95] have taken place at Mendips Raceway since 1969.[96] The track is located on Warrens Hill Road, on the rim of Batts Combe quarry between Shipham and Charterhouse.\nThomas Hardy described the Mendips as \"a range of limestone rocks stretching from the shores of the Bristol Channel into the middle of Somersetshire\", and several of his books refer to the Mendips or sites on the hills.[97] According to legend, Augustus Montague Toplady was inspired to write the words of the hymn \"Rock of Ages\" while sheltering under a rock in Burrington Combe during a thunderstorm in 1763; there is a metal plaque marking the site.[98][99]\nSomerset portal\nGeography of the United Kingdom#Geology\nList of Sites of Special Scientific Interest in Somerset\n^ a b \"Frequently Asked Questions\".

        "raw_content": "A Visit to Ogawa Productions\nDirected by Oshige Jun' ichiro\nProduced by Yasui Yoshio\nA Visit to Ogawa Productions is included on the same DVD as Red Persimmons\nIn 1981 film director Nagisa Oshima - the 'New Wave' Japanese director best known in this country for films such as Cruel Story of Youth (1960), In the Realm of the Senses (1976), and Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence (1983) - traveled to the Yamagata countryside to visit the documentary filmmaking collective led by Shinsuke Ogawa (1935-1992), who was then in the midst of filming A Japanese Village - Furuyashikimura, a feature-length documentary chronicling the seasonal cycle of rice growing.\nOgawa, who produced Summer in Narita (1968), Peasants of the Second Fortress (1971), and Red Persimmons (2004), gives Oshima a brief tour of their rural location, including the rice fields they are cultivating as well as filming, and introductions to local villagers. They then settle down for a wide-ranging conversation about Ogawa Productions' approach to documentary filmmaking - that of self-styled \"film nomads\" who live and work for extended periods of time in various regions of the country-focusing in particular on their current production, which involves an intimate interaction over a period of several years with local farmers, weather conditions, the environment, and aspects of village life.\nA VISIT TO OGAWA PRODUCTIONS thus offers a rare insight into the social and cinematic philosophy of one of Japan's best-known documentary film collectives. As the film reveals, Ogawa Productions' in-depth portraits of Japanese society - whether of protest movements or traditional agricultural life - grew out of an unusual commitment to integrate themselves with the communities they filmed, to the extent that their filmmaking literally became an alternative lifestyle.\n\"Wonderful! An excellent resource. Rich and complex... Marvelous!\"\u2014Visual Anthropology Review\n\"A truly in-depth look at the mastery of a great documentary film artist. Much of Ogawas motivation for creating his documentaries comes from his own sense of duty to the preservation of cultural traditions. This film is very sensitive in the way in which it portrays Ogawa's enthusiasm and his philosophical outlook, which is reflected in his feelings for the environment, all of humanity, and the rich precision of his art.\"\u2014Leonardo: The Journal of the International Society for the Arts, Sciences and Technology\n\"Offers unique insight into the way [Ogawa's] filmmaking collective functioned. Composed of a series of wide-ranging interviews with Ogawa on social activism in the 1960s and 1970s, his interest in rural life, and his philosophy of shooting. Ogawa contextualizes the transition between his early work on the student/farmer/union protests and his later gentler exploration of rural life in terms of his interest in understanding the connection between farmers and their land that he saw while shooting at Sanrizuka/Narita.Based on close participant-observation, Ogawa's films reflect both the scientific as well as humanistic dimensions of his filmmaking philosophy. Fascinating!\"\u2014Karen Nakamura, Asst. Professor of Anthropology, Yale University, for Visual Anthropology Journal\n\"Recommended! Compelling!

        "raw_content": "\u02bbAhahui Ka\u02bbahumanu\nThe \u02bbAhahui Ka\u02bbahumanu (Ka\u02bbahumanu Society) is named after Queen Ka\u02bbahumanu; it \u201cwas established to assist each other member of this Association when they are in need (in sickness, poverty, and death)\u201d. (Constitution, noted in Ka Nupepa Kuokoa, Buke III, Helu 34, Aoao 4. Augate 20, 1864)\nIt is one of four royal benevolent societies in Hawai\u02bbi, which include, Royal Order of Kamehameha I, \u02bbAhahui Ka\u02bbahumanu, Hale O Na Ali\u02bbi O Hawai\u02bbi, and Daughters and Sons of Hawaiian Warriors \u2013 Ma\u0304makakaua.\nIts mission statement notes it is \u201cto commemorate important historical figures of Hawaiian heritage. The organization provides its members financial assistance for medical needs, death benefits. And operates a cemetery for its members. The organization also renders assistance to the Lunalilo home.\u201d (GuideStar)\nThis aspect is reflected in the group\u2019s signature regalia of black holoku, complemented by gold lei hulu, or feather neck lei, to symbolize royalty. (Maui Now) (During her day, Queen Ka\u02bbahumanu adopted the black dress worn by the women missionaries.)\nIt was first formed at Kawaiaha\u02bbo on August 8, 1864 by Princess Victoria Kama\u0304malu (granddaughter of King Kamehameha I) and named after her aunt, Queen Ka\u02bbahumanu, for the relief of the elderly and the ill. The club celebrates the life of Queen Ka\u02bbahumanu and the preservation of the monarchy in Hawai\u02bbi.\n\u201cThe Princess was distinguished as the founder and Perpetual President of a benevolent association called \u2018Aha Hui Kaahumanu\u2019 \u2013 an organization partaking of the benevolent character of Freemasonry, but without its secrecy.\u201d\n\u201cIt was composed of her countrywomen, and supported by their subscriptions; its membership was exceedingly numerous, and its ramifications extended all over the several islands of the group. Its objects were to secure careful nursing of its members when sick, and their decent burial after death.\u201d\n\u201cThe society always formed in procession and followed deceased members to the grave, arrayed in a uniform composed of a white robe and a scarf, which indicated the official rank of the wearer by its color.\u201d Later Twain notes, \u201cThey were dressed in black, and wore sashes of different colors.\u201d (Twain)\nAfter Kama\u0304malu died in 1866, the \u02bbAhahui was discontinued, and then revived some forty years later under the leadership of Lady Lucy Kaheiheima\u0304lie Peabody on June 14, 1905.\nToday, the \u02bbAhahui celebrates Queen Ka\u02bbahumanu\u2019s birthday with public programs, participate in Ali\u02bbi Sunday church services, march on Kamehameha Day with the Royal Order of Kamehameha, feed the homeless, fund scholarships, and support the Lunalilo Home for elderly Hawaiians on O\u02bbahu.\nIt also sponsors programs that promote and preserve the Hawaiian language and culture, while practicing the Hawaiian and Christian values that were embraced by Queen Ka\u02bbahumanu.\nMembers are women of Native Hawaiian and part-Hawaiian ancestry, from the ages of 18 and older, who are sponsored into the organization by a member in good standing. (Fong; Lindsey)\nKa\u02bbahumanu was born about the year 1768, near Ha\u0304na, Maui. Her siblings include Governor John Adams Kuakini of Hawai\u02bbi Island, Queen Kal\u0101kaua Kaheiheima\u0304lie (another wife of Kamehameha I) and Governor George Cox Ke\u02bbeaumoku II of Maui.\nBy birth, Ka\u02bbahumanu ranked high among the Hawaiians. Her father was Ke\u02bbeaumoku, a distinguished warrior and counselor of Kamehameha the Great. Her mother Namahana was a former wife of the king of Maui, and the daughter of Kekaulike (a great king of that island.)\nKa\u02bbahumanu was one of the most powerful people in the Islands at the time of the arrival of the missionaries. There were those who were higher by birth, and there were those who were higher by title, but there was probably none who held greater influence.\nGenerally ambivalent through 1824, it is generally accepted that Kamehameha\u2019s widowed Queen, from 1825 until her death in 1832, was one of the staunchest friends of the missionaries and one of the foremost supporters of their cause.\nShe was described to have a kindly and generous disposition and usually had as pleasant relations with foreigners who respected her royal rights. She was cautious and slow in deciding \u2013 more business-like in here decision-making \u2013 but once her mind was made up, she never wavered.\nShe had requested baptism for Ke\u014dp\u016bolani and Ke\u02bbeaumoku when they were dying, but she waited until April, 1824, before requesting the same for herself.\nOn December 5, 1825, Ka\u02bbahumanu, six other chiefs, and one commoner were baptized and received holy communion. The widowed queen took the Christian name of Elizabeth, which she added to her official signature.\nIn December, 1827, laws against murder, stealing and adultery were adopted by the chiefs and proclaimed by Ka\u02bbahumanu, who addressed the people, \u201cdemanding their attention to the laws of the land \u2026 and to others which were to be taught and explained more fully to the people, before their establishment.\u201d The ceremonies, planned by Ka\u02bbahumanu, included hymns and prayers.\nThen, in mid-1832, Ka\u02bbahumanu became ill and was taken to her house in Ma\u0304noa, where a bed of maile and leaves of ginger was prepared. \u201cHer strength failed daily. She was gentle as a lamb, and treated her attendants with great tenderness. She would say to her waiting women, \u2018Do sit down; you are very tired; I make you weary.\u2019\u201d\nHiram Bingham\u2019s account of her last hours is, in part, as follows: \u201cOn the third instant, Sabbath night, about midnight, Dr. Judd sent down to me to say he thought her dying. I hastened to Manoa and remained there until the fifth \u2026\u201d\n\u201cAbout the last words she used of a religious character were two lines of a hymn designed to express the feelings of a self-condemned penitent coining and submitting to Christ: \u2018Here, here am I, O Jesus, oh \u2013 Grant me a gracious smile.\u2019\u201d\n\u201cA little after this she called me to her and as I took her hand, she asked. \u2018Is this Bingham?\u2019 I replied. \u2018It is I\u2019\u2014She looked upon me & added \u2018I am going now\u2019 I replied: \u2019Ehele pu Jesu me oe, Ehele pomaikai aku.\u2019 \u2018May Jesus go with you, go in peace.\u2019 She said no more. Her last conflict was then soon over, \u2013 in 10 or 15 minutes she ceased to breathe.\u201d\nHer death took place at ten minutes past 3 o\u2019clock on the morning of June 5, 1832, \u201cafter an illness of about 3 weeks in which she exhibited her unabated attachment to the Christian teachers and reliance on Christ, her Saviour.\u201d\nKa\u02bbahumanu was buried at Pohukaina at \u02bbIolani Place and later transferred to Mauna \u2018Ala, the Royal Mausoleum in Nu\u02bbuanu Valley.\nLadies of the Ahahui Kaahumanu-HerbKane\nFiled Under: Ali'i / Chiefs / Governance, General Tagged With: Ahahui Kaahumanu, Hawaii, Kaahumanu Society",

        "raw_content": "21 Midfielder Dynamo Kiev Paraguay\nParaguayan winger Derlis Gonz\u00e1lez finished his youth career at Ruben \u00d1u, where he had become the youngest ever player when he made his debut at the age of 15. He moved to Benfica in Portugal in 2012 but never played first team football for the club, being sent out on loan twice before his \u201cother owners\u201d moved him on to Swiss giants FC Basel in May 2014.\nGonz\u00e1lez only played 25 Swiss Super League games for Basel last season but he was a regular in Europe, earning himself a reputation not dissimilar to that of Mohamed Salah.\nImpressive but not flawless. His Champions League campaign ended with a record of three goals (one winner, one consolation and one in the thick of a 4-0 win) in eight appearances for Basel, a not inconsiderable contribution. Basel won the Swiss title and finished as runners-up in the Swiss Cup but Gonz\u00e1lez and the medal around his neck weren\u2019t long for the club.\nHe signed for Dynamo Kiev in July, perhaps the most notable development of what was a busy summer. Having made his Paraguay debut in March 2014 he was named in their Copa America 2015 squad and certainly made his presence felt. He scored the winning penalty in their quarter-final match but ended July with a torn muscle in his right leg.\nHe soon found fitness and a place in the Dynamo team, scoring his first goal \u2013 a peach, by the way \u2013 in October. He\u2019s since scored once more in the league and yet again in the Champions League, winning plaudits along the way.\nGonz\u00e1lez is the classic low centre of gravity player \u2013 just a shift of his weight can take him out of trouble. He cuts in well from the left and is more than willing to find the space to have a right-footed shot from distance. He plays high and wide, often hugging the left touchline, and he\u2019s not immune to being caught offside despite having the whole line to view.\nHe has a bit of fancy footwork \u2013 a nifty stepover and a saucy shimmy \u2013 and he uses it well, creating the room to glide past opponents. His final ball is often decent but not quite reliable enough to be a constant threat, although he does command a lot of defensive attention.\nHe has very smart awareness. For example, he\u2019ll often peel off the back post into space rather than attacking it and it\u2019s not always picked up. That\u2019s the Gonz\u00e1lez modus operandi in a nutshell: he is a clever, suave, skilful player with a lovely first touch and a good defensive work ethic.\nGonz\u00e1lez is already beginning to establish himself at international level and on the European stage but there are aspects of his game that need sharpening. His ambition in possession is potentially dangerous but too often leads to decisions that relinquish the ball unnecessarily. Often his routine consists of brilliantly beating one opponent, trying to do too much and being blocked by a second.\nHis passing is sometimes wayward and he can hang on to the ball a little too long; sometimes his dawdling on the ball is too big a risk. Nevertheless, Gonz\u00e1lez is an exciting prospect and he\u2019s worth keeping an eye on. He can score and create, which is what counts, but he can also entertain.\nB Goals in the Champions League, a Swiss championship medal and an impact at Copa America",

        "raw_content": "\u201cHow\u2019s your relationship these days?\u201d is not a question most of us ever ask people. I\u2019ve probably only ever asked it of newlyweds (where it\u2019s more like \u201cHow\u2019s married life?\u201d nudge-nudge) or of very close friends with whom I have a precedent of relationship discussions.\nIt is a bit odd, though. Among parents, there are the constant \u201chow are your kids\u201d conversations, and it\u2019s expected that you\u2019ll dish on the hard parts as well as the fun parts. But for some reason, even though Sean and I are at the age where the majority of our friends are in committed relationships, we rarely discuss that very important aspect of daily life. Somehow, it feels rude or intrusive to ask, even though we certainly care about the answer.\nOne result of this is that when friends have major relationship troubles or break up, it\u2019s often a complete shock \u2013 sometimes even to close friends. You think, But they always seemed fine!\nObviously, the reasons to break up are as diverse and numerous as the couples who do it. For the couples who stay together, there are myriad reasons for that, too. Presumably, though, most couples who\u2019ve had a long-term relationship \u2013 whatever its future \u2013 had a period of awesomeness at some point. A chapter, of whatever length, where the connection was uplifting and the chemistry was wild and both parties thought, \u201cThis could be IT!\u201d\nSetting aside the Big Bad Wolves of Relationship Destruction (infidelity, abuse, addiction, etc.), how else do those paths diverge, such that some couples stay together and some split up?\nI can only speak for myself in this, of course. I\u2019m no expert. If someone asked me, \u201cHow can you be sure you\u2019ll be together forever?\u201d I\u2019d say, \u201cI\u2019m not. It\u2019s impossible to be a hundred percent sure. But I am supremely confident.\u201d\nHow, you ask, can I be supremely confident without blind faith? What\u2019s the secret? And could it be helpful to anyone else?\nWell, shucks, that\u2019s why I\u2019m writing this. So that you can all SOAK UP MY GLORIOUS WISDOM. Alors, voil\u00e0: here is my carefully crafted counsel, based on my own untrained and entirely non-objective experience of thirteen years with the same person (9.5 of them married).\n1. Let Your Inner Grub Out.\nIf you\u2019re gonna be with someone for the long haul, they need to see the real you, and your real habits. Not dressed up, not scrubbed down. When Sean and I moved in together, cohabitation was our way to make sure that neither of us had habits that would be deal-breakers for the other. We are lucky to have very similar scores on the slob-to-neat-freak scale. If I forget to put the CDs back in their cases (yes, we\u2019re sooo retro, we still have CDs), or if he forgets to put his nasal rinse packet in the garbage, we know we\u2019re about even. We have also found we\u2019re able to handle each other\u2019s dirty laundry and live with each other\u2019s stinkier sides, and we like each other even in comfy pants and scruffy hoodies.\n2. Get Used To Non-Perfection.\nSpeaking of grubs, your personality-related grubbiness is gonna need airing out too. We all have our flaws. We all have at least one side that\u2019s lazy or naggy or procrastinatey or judgey or grumpy or insensitive or whatever. (Fun game: guess which ones are mine!!) And if you join yourself with a person, you join yourself with their flaws. Those flaws are not going anywhere. And Sean and I are well aware of the less awesome parts of each other \u2013 and ourselves. Sometimes we drive each other a little bit bonkers with that. But even though we know we can\u2019t change each other, we do support each other\u2019s quests for self-improvement, which are constantly evolving.\n3. Forget Sweet Talk. Try Straight Talk.\nSpeaking of imperfections, it\u2019s good to know we can live with each other\u2019s, but sometimes discussion is necessary. It\u2019s amazing how easy it is to find yourself playing games, manipulating, expecting someone to read your mind if you\u2019re feeling pouty. But that\u2019s lame. If my husband is driving me bonkers in some way, and I never articulate it to him, then what chance is there to improve things? If he\u2019s upset with me for something, I want him to tell me \u2013 even when it hurts to hear. (Contrary to some beliefs, it is NOT more respectful to say nothing in an attempt to spare someone\u2019s feelings.) It usually hurts, although we also take pains to word things as plainly-but-tactfully as possible. Those moments are really hard, but bearable \u2013 and worth it \u2013 if they come from a place of caring. Leaving those unsaid things to fester, on the other hand, is a great way to drive spikes into the potential cracks in a relationship. (We consider that, true to our marriage vows, being irresponsible with spikes is not an option. We have invested; what we have is not disposable or replaceable; therefore, proper maintenance is necessary.)\n4. Learn To Mess Up Properly.\nSpeaking of upsetting each other, Sean and I have learned, many times, that if you handle mistakes with honesty and sincerity, it works way better than denying or deflecting blame. THIS IS HARD, too. Admitting you\u2019re wrong\u2026 I honestly think everyone struggles with it. True apology feels deeply vulnerable. But it\u2019s also humbling, illuminating, disarming, and endearing. It allows a couple to be a team, with both members party to the resolution. And I\u2019ve noticed that when a person can be candid about mistakes, those aforementioned flaws and foibles can sometimes even be\u2026 kinda cute.\n5. Never Mind About That Honeymoon Phase.\nSpeaking of admitting things, let\u2019s be frank: the exorbitant new-relationship ecstasy does not last forever. Sometimes Sean and I look back on how snuggly-wuggly and cutesie-wootsie we once were, and we think, Yeesh. Our friends must have been nauseated. That swooning stage is not sustainable, long-term. And to be even franker, in a long relationship, there are sometimes downright cool periods \u2013 times when you feel distant or annoyed or just not that attracted to each other, or even disconnected.\nN.B.: DON\u2019T PANIC. It doesn\u2019t mean the spark is gone forever.\nFor me, those are usually the times when I\u2019m feeling deflated about life in general. Fortunately, I\u2019ve learned not to put stock in those times. I know that that\u2019s just how I feel if I\u2019m short on sleep, or not eating right, or stressed out about certain things. I wait it out. I know it will pass. It always does. If it needs a little nudge, some of that straight talk (see #3) comes in very handy. Invariably, the moment comes when I look at my husband and feel the affection/happiness/spark surge back in.\nIt\u2019s also worth mentioning that, in my experience, the settled, solid, non-swooning phase is, in many ways, more sublime than its predecessor. And it still includes kisses that make me weak in the knees.\n6. Go Ahead And Take Love For Granted.\nSpeaking of sometimes-latent affection, one of the perks of being in a committed relationship is getting to take love for granted \u2013 in a way. It\u2019s not that I take love in general for granted; it took me ages (years, even) to tell my high school/university boyfriend that I loved him, because I wanted to be absolutely sure I knew what I meant, and meant it well. But once you\u2019ve taken that leap and decided that yes, this is love!, it\u2019s your right \u2013 and responsibility \u2013 to trust that it\u2019s there\u2026 even at times (see #5) when you feel crotchety and not-so-loving. My Hubbibi and I always end phone and text conversations with \u201cI love you.\u201d Especially if we\u2019ve been exasperated with each other, or having a difficult conversation, we both know that by saying \u201cI love you,\u201d we\u2019re affirming that we don\u2019t take challenging moments as bad signs, that we both trust in the proof of our history. Unless one of us were to go through a fundamental change, we know: I\u2019m me, and you\u2019re you, and we love each other.\nFurthermore, I really believe that the out-loud declaration of \u201cI love you\u201d is, for lack of a better analogy, like a valve that opens to let the love flow. The absence of \u201cI love you,\u201d on the other hand, is not just a silent moment; it\u2019s a gaping hole through which the love can gradually \u2013 and painfully \u2013 drain out. I know couples have very different outlooks on when to say it, how often to say it, not wanting it to \u201cmean nothing\u201d if said too often. I see where they\u2019re coming from, but I don\u2019t think saving I love yous for special occasions makes sense. Love, with your life partner, is a gift \u2013 but not the diamond-bracelet kind of gift. It must be a practical, everyday gift, like a high-quality glue that can get kinda grungy but does not let go. Even if you say it dozens of times a day, it still means everything.\n7. Love Is Not All You Need.\nSpeaking of love, it\u2019s not the last word. It\u2019s also really important to like each other. If you don\u2019t enjoy each other\u2019s company, all the good chemistry in the world won\u2019t make up for it. I always smile when I see that quote on someone\u2019s wedding program, \u201cThis day I will marry my best friend,\u201d etc., because I think that\u2019s the dream. What more could you want? Permanent sleepovers with your best friend! Always coming home to your favourite person! Once you cohabit, and more so once you have kids, it won\u2019t always be \u201cquality\u201d time. There will be many humdrum household activities to share. Once in a while you might think, \u201cRemember when we used to do FUN stuff together??\u201d And you will again. But in the meantime, even if you don\u2019t spend lots of time together (couples on opposite shifts, or with very different hobbies, for example), just sharing those run-of-the-mill activities can be lovely with a cherished friend.\n8. Smarten Up And Be Grateful.\nThere are lots of couples out there who make their marriages function even though they\u2019re not particularly happy or compatible together. Sean and I are fortunate in lots of ways some couples aren\u2019t: we have very well-matched senses of humour; we enjoy the same simple ways to spend time together; we like the same music; we have similar nerdy and/or intellectual tendencies; we have harmonious politics; we genuinely love each other\u2019s families.\nWe do, however, have differences that can be difficult. We aren\u2019t passionate about all the same things; we don\u2019t have the same style of communication; we have different instincts on a lot of minor issues; but all those things are surmountable with some conscious effort. And with the time we\u2019ve already spent together, we owe each other that conscious effort. Who are we to let small things mess up our relationship when other couples have such larger hurdles?\nIgnoring my good fortune seems spoiled to me \u2013 like living in such abundance that you feel entitled to waste perfectly good food \u2013 and I HATE wasting food. I\u2019ve made a habit of intentionally appreciating the good things, so that when things don\u2019t seem super-rosy, I never forget that I\u2019m still an extremely lucky gal.\nOne more thing\u2026 A Note About Mental Illness.\nAs many of you know, my beloved Hubbibi is subject to chemical depression sometimes. It took a long time for both of us to understand that while depression can be triggered or catalyzed by circumstances, at its foundation it has nothing to do with how many things are good in one\u2019s life. I have had to pull myself back from feeling like my failings were directly contributing to his depression.\nThe thing is, before our marriage, we did almost break up \u2013 several times \u2013 and I mostly blame the depression. It\u2019s an illness that steals your mojo, takes the glow out of even your favourite people and things, makes you feel like stuff isn\u2019t worth doing, saps your motivation to do even the things you know are good for you.\nSo again, speaking just from my own perspective\u2026 If your relationship seems lacklustre despite solid history, consider that mental health (or lack of it) could be an issue. Because there are ways to deal with that. We would never have gotten through those almost-breakups, not to mention having children, not to mention losing one child, without confronting those issues head-on. Being open about this, and being a united team where mental health is concerned, has saved us multiple times.\nIf someone were to ask me, \u201cHow did you know that Sean was THE ONE?\u201d I\u2019d say, \u201cI didn\u2019t. But I knew he was a super-special-awesome one.\u201d\nIf someone were to ask me, \u201cHow do you know Sean IS the one?\u201d I\u2019d say something annoying like, \u201cHe is\u2026 because he is.\u201d\nI don\u2019t necessarily believe there\u2019s only one human in the world I could possibly make a life with. But Sean is the person I\u2019ve chosen, who has also chosen me, with whom to build something special and interesting and beautiful. He is the only person with whom I can have THIS life, and this life is the one I want.\nP.S.: To read more about mental health struggles and successes, please click here.\nPosted in Foughts and Theelings, Ideosophy, My Hubbibi Tagged advice, breaking up, choices, decisions, depression, emotion, goals, happiness, love, marriage, mental health, pain, romance 8 Comments",

        "raw_content": "As of January 2016, the firm is expanding its services with the introduction of a Banking & Finance practice group. The new team is headed up by G\u00e1bor P\u00e1zsitka, one of the leading attorneys in the Hungarian banking & finance legal market. With almost 20 years\u2019 of professional experience, including 10 years at the finance practice groups of two Magic Circle international law firms, G\u00e1bor joins the firm as a partner. Currently consisting of three lawyers, the group advises on the full range of banking and finance matters, including syndicated lending, project and structured finance.\nThere is another significant organisational change at the firm. As of 2016, Istv\u00e1n Cs\u0151v\u00e1ri, one of our leading tax lawyers has been promoted to a partner at the firm, with a primary focus of further developing our internationally acknowledged, market-leading tax practice. Istv\u00e1n will also continue to participate in other advisory practices of the firm.\nP\u00e1l Jalsovszky added the following comments to the changes: \u201cReaching our 10th anniversary has brought us to a significant milestone, with the firm moving to the partnership model that is used successfully at international law firms. The launch of the banking group means that we can depart from the \u201cboutique law firm\u201d concept, successfully used over the past 10 years, and cover the full range of business law services.\nI am particularly pleased that the new partners of the firm can represent our values both professionally and personally. G\u00e1bor has unrivalled professional experience and market recognition in the financial law sector, while his mentality fits very well with the spirit of the firm. Istv\u00e1n\u2019s contribution to our success to date is beyond all praise. During the past nine years he has proved in many ways that he is ready to take on greater responsibilities.\"",

        "raw_content": "I won't celebrate if I score - Spence\nCavalier's Michael Spence\nIf any team knows anything about Michael Spence, it is Tivoli Gardens. The 29-year-old spent his entire youth football career at the west Kingston based club and was their top scorer for a couple of seasons.\nAlthough he played a few top-flight games for them, he eventually moved on. However, three seasons ago, the wily striker picked up a horrific ankle injury, while playing for Highgate United, that kept him sidelined and only made full recovery recently. That was when a friend encouraged him to get back into the game. After picking up the phone and calling Cavalier technical director Rudolph Speid, the rest was history.\nSince joining the team in January, Spence has netted five times, and going into this Sunday's play-off game against his former club, he is sensing he will get his sixth of the season. However, he does not intend to celebrate.\n\"I feel one hundred percent positive about Sunday. You are going to see something good. I am going to score, I can feel it,\" he told STAR Sports.\n\"I just want to enjoy the game, do my job, score, or try to assist and make sure the team wins. I know the crowd is going to come at me but I am looking forward to it, as I am going to score. I am not going to celebrate, but we are going hard for the win,\" he insisted.\nSince he returned to the league he has slotted in with ease, but he says he is just getting in tune to really explode next season. \"It (league) is not really tough. Most of the defenders show me respect because they know me and that I was the leading scorer in the under-21s. I just wanted to get back into the frame of mind of scoring goals, as next season I am going for the leading scorer award,\" he said.\n\"I have scored a lot of important goals for the club so far, and I hope to continue that this season,\" he added.",

        "title": "The Pros and Cons of Working in a Coworking Space - Jam Jar Cowork",
        "raw_content": "Coworking is becoming more common every year, with more than 300 such spaces operating in Australia \u2013 a more than 500 percent increase over the last five years.\nIt\u2019s also become clear that these spaces can work for more than just tech start-ups, as a variety of businesses are choosing coworking spaces as their home base.\nBut is it right for you? Like any business decision, it all comes down to what you value \u2013 so read on for some of the biggest benefits and most detrimental drawbacks of coworking spaces.\nPro: Sharing a space likely saves you money\nIt\u2019s pretty clear why a freelancer or small business would go for a coworking space: It\u2019s cheaper.\nRather than renting out an entire office block, you get just enough space to serve the needs of your business.\nWhat\u2019s more, these memberships are often flexible \u2013 rather than outgrowing an office and needing to relocate, you can just upgrade your plan to accommodate your new space needs.\nCon: \u2026but it\u2019s not always available when you need it\nA shared space means that sometimes you\u2019ll need to make way for other businesses or schedule yourself around them.\nAnd while coworking hosts provide ample opportunities for their clients to get as much time in the space as they need, that\u2019s not easy to manage on short notice.\nWhat if a client changes what they want by a next-day deadline? Will the coworking space be open late at night for you to make necessary changes?\nThese aren\u2019t questions you need to worry about with your own office, but it can become a problem in a shared space.\nPro: A community of support\u2026\nThe term \u201ccoworking\u201d is apt when it comes to describing these spaces, as you\u2019ll be constantly surrounded by other start-ups and entrepreneurs.\nIt can be comforting to take time out of work and relate to the others around you \u2013 providing a sense of camaraderie all while networking and forming crucial connections that could come in handy down the line.\nFurthermore, coworking spaces will often host workshops, social gatherings, and other useful events for their members, increasing your reach as a business and expanding your network further.\nCon: \u2026while sacrificing privacy\nIf you want to stay out of sight of your competitors, that can be much trickier in a coworking space.\nSure, sharing ideas is important and healthy, but that doesn\u2019t change the fact that each competing business wants to get ahead of the other.\nWhat\u2019s more, if your employees \u2013 or you yourself \u2013 prefer to work in a more secluded environment, that\u2019s not always possible in a coworking space without paying extra to rent out an office or conference room for a day.\nPro: Get started right away\nA coworking space is a ready-made place for you to start working, right now.\nAmenities you need are already built in, whereas with a new office, you need to find a space, design the layout, and furnish it yourself.\nOn top of that, you\u2019d still need to take care of administrative expenses and responsibilities such as Wi-Fi, electricity, plumbing, and more \u2013 while with a coworking space, it\u2019s all done for you.\nCon: \u2026but lose out on customisation\nYou can use the space, but it\u2019s not truly \u201cyours.\u201d\nThat is, working in a coworking space doesn\u2019t give you a chance to construct and show off a clear brand identity.\nAnd while you might not have the money to design an office from the ground up right this second, it\u2019s a crucial part of creating a successful business.\nThe ability to customise and craft an identity will be an important consideration when you think about getting your own office space.\nPro: Attractive design (without the cost)\nYou might not be able to completely redesign the space, but that doesn\u2019t mean it has to be ugly.\nIn fact, coworking spaces often feature very modern and aesthetic designs that you generally can\u2019t afford when just starting out as a company.\nMuch of this comes down to influences from the offices of major tech companies, but while coworking spaces have changed over the years, the attractive design has stuck around.\nCon: \u2026but some find shared spaces unprofessional\nDespite the attractive design, some clients just won\u2019t like coming into a coworking space to do business with you.\nA common workaround is to host business meetings at other venues, or even in casual settings such as coffee shops or over lunch, but even this can put off clients who had a different perception of your business.\nWhile using a coworking space certainly isn\u2019t the right move for all businesses, it makes sense for a lot more people than many realise.\nIt all comes down to where your business is in its development \u2013 but if you\u2019re looking to save money but still have all the trappings of an office, the sacrifices might well be worth it.",

        "title": "Bible Study Introduction to I AMs in John",
        "raw_content": "An introduction to the I AM\u2019s in John\u2019s gospel : Is Jesus in your boat?\nIn the last message I gave an introduction to the I AM series and we looked at Moses\u2019 encounter with the great \u2018I AM\u2019 in the burning bush (Exodus 3). Now it\u2019s not every day that a voice comes to you from within a burning bush (well not unless someone is in trouble!) and it may have been hard for Moses to explain to his friends what happened... but here was Moses\u2019 introduction to the I AM of Israel! You may remember that God commissioned Moses on that day to deliver His people and Moses asked \u2018who shall I say has sent me?\u2019 \"I AM WHO I AM\u201d was the reply. \"Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, 'I AM has sent me to you.\u2019 \u201d Now I gave a few reasons why studying the \u2018I AM\u2019s\u2019 of Jesus are worthwhile. In brief:\n1. The I AM\u2019\u2019s present Jesus Christ in His true glory. In a word, they present Him as God!\n2. The I AM\u2019s present the unchangeable nature of our great God and Saviour, Jesus.\n3. The I AM\u2019s give us the \u2018present tense\u2019 of Jesus (who He is now) which is very important.\n4. The I AM\u2019s place Jesus in His right place in our lives. As one who is essential. The very bread of life.\nNow we didn\u2019t look at any of the I AM statements of Jesus last time so we\u2019ll rectify that today... but not by looking at any of the seven I AM statements of Jesus. Confused? You should be! It\u2019s almost like a riddle. Riddle me this, riddle me that... \u2018How can we look at the I AM statements of Jesus without looking at any of the seven I AM statements of Jesus?\u2019 \u2018Tis a great mystery indeed!1\nNaaa, this riddle is actually quite simple. When people talk about the seven I AM statements of Jesus, that is not the total number of times that Jesus used this name I AM. So we aren\u2019t going to look at any of the seven I AM statements of Jesus today but we will look at some other significant I AM statements Jesus made. Of course if you wanted a proper riddle I would say \u2018what is it that God never sees, a king seldom sees and you and I see every day?2\nSo today I need to lay a foundation from the New Testament before looking at the specific seven I AM\u2019s. So as we move back into the New Testament, we will look at three specific questions:\n1. Where can the I AM statements of Jesus be found and why?\n2. What do the I AM statements tell us about who Jesus is?\n3. What can we take away personally from the I AM statements?\nThis second question of \u2018who is Jesus?\u2019 is one that has been circulating from the time of Christ Himself. Jesus asked this very question of His disciples saying \u2018who do men say that I am?\u2019 This was followed by the even more important question \u2018who do you say I am\u2019? (Matt 16:15). Who do you say I am?... Without trying to be overly dramatic, that question is probably the most important that mankind can ever ponder and its answer the most important they will ever face. According to one verse that we will look at later, the answer to this question has eternal ramifications. We\u2019ll end by looking at an example of what we take away personally from the I AM statements. But let\u2019s start at the beginning... where are we going to go to find Jesus\u2019 I AM statements in the New Testament?\nWhere can the I AM statements of Jesus be found and why?\nThe I AM\u2019s are only found in one of the gospels so straight away you know it has to be the gospel that is unique. Which is it? That\u2019s right, the gospel of John. I remember reading the Bible for the first time over at Student Village (\u201cStud Ville\u201d) at the University of Waikato... I started with Mathew and it really spoke to my heart. The stories of Jesus captivated me and His words both convicted and comforted me. Then I read Mark and remember being a little disappointed that it had a lot of the same stories. \u2018Oooh I\u2019ve read that before!\u2019 I thought to myself. But reading John I thought \u2018ok... this is different \u2013 In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God... what on earth is he talking about?\u2019 Each of the gospels were written with a different emphasis based on the intended recipients. For example, as a slightly odd illustration of this, consider Revelation 4:7 and the four living creatures around the throne:\nRevelation 4:7 The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third had a face like a man, the fourth was like a flying eagle.\nJohn, in this heavenly vision, sees living creatures looking like a lion, an ox, a man and a flying eagle... Why do they all look different and why this strange combination? It is describing the four living creatures but you can\u2019t help but notice that it also describes how Jesus is presented in all four gospels... and in order!\nLion (pictures the King)\nMathew\u2019s gospel is written primarily to the Jews. It starts with Jesus\u2019 genealogy to prove Jesus was a descendant of Abraham, a son of David. It contains frequent quotes from the Old Testament to prove the Messiahship of Jesus. It shows Jesus is the King, the Lion of the tribe of Judah\nOx (pictures a servant of man)\nMark\u2019s gospel was written to Gentiles. It doesn\u2019t contain many quotes from the Old Testament but presents Jesus who came to serve (like the ox) and give His life for the many (Mark 10:45)\nMan (pictures His humanity)\nLuke\u2019s gospel presents the humanity of Jesus. He is often called \u2018the Son of Man\u2019 in this gospel and gives many stories that are not found anywhere else.\nFlying Eagle (pictures His heavenly origin and divine nature)\nJohn\u2019s gospel presents Jesus as God! Not just a servant, not just a man, not even just the Messiah... But God Almighty, the I AM, Yahweh, from the Old Testament. The Word who is God.\nThat\u2019s why John starts his gospel establishing that Jesus is God. Mirroring the start of the Old Testament that says \u2018In the beginning God...\u2019 John writes to let us know who this God is and says \u2018In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God! And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us...\u2019 In fact John tells us the reason he wrote near the end of his gospel:\nJohn 20:30-31 And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; (31) but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.\nJohn wrote for two reasons:\n1) That you would believe that Jesus is the Son of God. 2) That believing you would have LIFE in His name.\nSo it is in John\u2019s gospel and John\u2019s gospel alone that you find the \u2018I AM\u2019 statements of Jesus. So let\u2019s explore these two aspects in relation to the I AM statements of Jesus. As mentioned 7 times Jesus specifically uses that name to define who He is, but at least 5 other times He uses I AM in a separate dramatic way. So let\u2019s look at some in answering the second question...\nWhat do the I AM statements tell us about who Jesus is?\nSo who is Jesus? People have been pondering that for 2000 years. Like I said at the start, the most important question on this planet is that which Jesus asks all of mankind \u2013 \u2018Who do you say I am?\u2019 Here are some responses to that question from some famous people:\nThe Dalai Lama - \"Jesus Christ also lived previous lives...So, you see, he reached a high state, either as a Bodhisattva, or an enlightened person, through Buddhist practice or something like that.\"\nMikhail Gorbachev \u201cJesus was the first socialist, the first to seek a better life for mankind.\u201d\nMartin Luther King Jr - \u201cJesus Christ was an extremist for love, truth and goodness.\u201d\nRichard Dawkins - \u201cJesus was a great moral teacher [but] somebody as intelligent as Jesus would have been an atheist if he had known what we know today.\u201d\nSaeb Erekat (chief Palestinian authority peace negotiator) - Jesus is \u201cthe first Martyr, the first Palestinian.\u201d\nAlbert Einstein - \u201cI am a Jew, but I am enthralled by the luminous figure of the Nazarene...No one can read the Gospels without feeling the actual presence of Jesus. His personality pulsates in every word. No myth is filled with such life.\u201d 3\nSo, according to the wisdom (or lack thereof) of these well known men, Jesus was either a reincarnated enlightened Buddhist, a future atheist, the first socialist, an extremist for love, a luminous figure or a Palestinian freedom fighter and first Palestinian martyr. Can\u2019t remember Jesus saying He was many of those actually. All of these opinions remind me of the Larry Norman song \u2018The Outlaw\u2019 which i was listening to the other day. I\u2019ve only heard it 5 or 6... hundred times.\nSome say He was an outlaw that He roamed across the land\nWith a band of unschooled ruffians and few young fishermen\nNo one knew just where He came from or exactly what He'd done\nBut they said it must be something bad that kept Him on the run.\nSome say He was a poet that He'd stand upon the hill\nAnd His voice could calm an angry crowd or make the waves stand still\nThat He spoke in many parables that few could understand\nBut the people sat for hours just to listen to this Man.\nSome say He was a sorcerer a Man of mystery\nHe could walk upon the water, He could make a blind man see\nThat He conjured wine at weddings and did tricks with fish and bread\nThat He talked of being born again and raised people from the dead.\nSome say a politician, who spoke of being free\nHe was followed by the masses on the shores of Galilee\nHe spoke out against corruption and He bowed to no decree\nBut they feared His strength and power so they nailed Him to a tree.\nSome say He was the Son of God, a Man above all men\nBut He came to be a servant and to set us free from sin\nAnd that's who I believe He was, \u2018cause that's who I believe\nAnd I think we should be ready when it's time for us to leave.\nOh yes i think we should get ready, for it\u2019s almost time to leave...\nSo we\u2019ve heard lots of opinions but what did Jesus say about Himself?\nWhen saying \u2018I AM\u2019 can get you stoned!\nJohn 8:56-59 Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad.\" (57) You are not yet fifty years old, the Jews said to him, \"and you have seen Abraham!\" (58) I tell you the truth, Jesus answered, \"before Abraham was born, I am!\" (59) At this, they picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus hid himself, slipping away from the temple grounds.\nThis was massive! It is easy for us to miss the full impact of what Jesus was saying, but in using the I AM in this way the Jews of His time certainly knew. The Law of Moses stated that blasphemy was punishable by death and that by stoning (Lev 23:10-16). They knew Jesus, this man before them, was claiming to be the God of the Old Testament. He didn\u2019t just say \u2018before Abraham I was\u2019 to show that He existed before Abraham. He said before Abraham \u2018I AM\u2019. One author I read helps put this into perspective:\n\u201cYou see in those few words He (Jesus) said, \u201cOK Folks, remember Moses out there in the Wilderness? Remember the burning bush? Remember that God? Remember the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob? Remember the God who brought you out of Egypt, out of slavery? Remember the God who gave you this land and destroyed all your enemies? Remember the God who said it is punishable by death to claim to be Him? Remember the God who created the entire universe as well as you? Remember the God who says He is the only God? Well, guess what? That is the God I am. That is the God I am claiming to be. No doubts, no questions, no confusion, I AM.\u201d 4\nEven earlier in this same conversation Jesus had used I AM which they hadn\u2019t quite picked up on.\nJohn 8:23-25 And He was saying to them, \"You are from below, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world. (24) \"Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.\" (25) So they were saying to Him, \"Who are You?\" Jesus said to them, \"What have I been saying to you from the beginning?\nThe \u2018He\u2019 in \u2018I am He\u2019 is not in the original and has been introduced to make the sentence more readable (as if Jesus had problems with His grammar!) It is literally, \u2018unless you believe that I am, you will die in your sins.\u2019 It is exactly the same Greek words as later on in this chapter when Jesus say \u2018Before Abraham, I AM\u2019. I have shown this to some JW\u2019s that have knocked on my door. They believe that Jesus is a created being \u2013 the first creation of Jehovah. Jesus said He is Jehovah!5 And what we believe about Jesus matters! He said unless you believe that I AM you will die in your sins. That\u2019s why I showed it to the JW\u2019s. This is not believing that Jesus was a great moral teacher, it is not believing that he was a revolutionary or a Palestinian freedom fighter. It is not believing that He was the first socialist, a reincarnated enlightened Buddhist or even the first created being of Jehovah... It is Jesus, Immanuel. God with us. The I AM.\nWe can tell from the reply of the Jews that they were taken a little by surprise and were unsure exactly what Jesus was saying (for it\u2019s not every day that someone comes and claims to be the God of Israel!) so they asked \u2018Who are you?\u2019 When Jesus said it the second time a few verses on they were certain of what He was claiming and they were certain they wanted to stone Him for blasphemy! Let\u2019s look at another example at the last supper, this time with His disciples.\nJohn 13:18-19 \"I do not speak of all of you. I know the ones I have chosen; but it is that the Scripture may be fulfilled, 'HE WHO EATS MY BREAD HAS LIFTED UP HIS HEEL AGAINST ME.' (19) \"From now on I am telling you before it comes to pass, so that when it does occur, you may believe that I am He.\nWe find ourselves at the last supper here, and Jesus is announcing something before it comes to pass so that the disciples have further proof that He is who who says He is. But again, in the Greek there is no \u2018He\u2019 at the end of this passage. It literally reads \u2018I am telling you before it comes to pass so that when it does occur you may believe that I am.\u2019 In other words the disciples would be given proof of Jesus\u2019 claim to be Yahweh, the I AM of Israel, by the fact that he would declare to them what was going to happen before it came to pass. And this of course is the same test and proof Yahweh gave in the Old Testament to show He is the true God. (Isaiah 41;21-23, 46:9-10)\nWhat should we take away personally from the I AM statements?\nSo far this study has focused on the more theological aspect of the I AM \u2013 that is, what this truth teaches us about Jesus. But what about the practical take away for us today? How is this meant to benefit our life on a daily basis? Well... can you remember the two reasons why John said he wrote his gospel? Firstly he wanted you to believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. That is what we have been looking at mostly so far with these I AM statements of Jesus. But secondly, he said \u2018and believing, that you will have life in his name.\u2019 This is the practical side. So how can seeing Jesus as the I AM impact our life? Let\u2019s look at one example of this through another \u2018I AM\u2019 example.\nAn example: Jesus on high... Be not afraid!\nJohn 6:14-21 Therefore when the people saw the sign which He had performed, they said, \"This is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world.\" (15) So Jesus, perceiving that they were intending to come and take Him by force to make Him king, withdrew again to the mountain by Himself alone. (16) Now when evening came, His disciples went down to the sea, (17) and after getting into a boat, they started to cross the sea to Capernaum. It had already become dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. (18) The sea began to be stirred up because a strong wind was blowing. (19) Then, when they had rowed about three or four miles, they *saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near to the boat; and they were frightened. (20) But He *said to them, \"It is I; do not be afraid.\" (21) So they were willing to receive Him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.\nWith the masses wanting to make Jesus king, He left them going up high on a mountain. John\u2019s gospel doesn\u2019t tell us what Jesus was doing there but other gospels do. Can you remember? Yes! Jesus was praying. And praying for His disciples no doubt! Meanwhile Jesus\u2019 disciples are in a boat on the Sea of Galilee and it is getting stormy... They are a few miles on the sea but are really struggling getting battered by both wind and waves. So what is the application for us?\nFirstly, I like what William MacDonald writes in the Believers Bible Commentary: \u2018As they went over the sea toward Capernaum, it was already dark. Jesus was not with them. Where was He? He was up on the mountain praying. What a picture of Christ's followers today. They are on the stormy sea of life. It is dark. The Lord Jesus is nowhere to be seen. But that does not mean that He is unaware of what is going on. He is in heaven praying for those He loves.\u2019\nThe second point to note is that Jesus comes to them during a storm. It is normally the way. He is with believers always but His presence is normally encountered in the storms of life. And sometimes, like this storm, He leaves it a while before coming!\nThirdly, (and this is the main point of using this example) Jesus comes with words that bring comfort and instant relief. To the already struggling disciples, seeing someone approach them walking on the water freaks them out even further. But Jesus says to them \u2018It is I, do not be afraid\u2019. The words \u201cIt is I\u201d are literally \u201cI AM.\u201d The Amplified Bible gives a literal translation of \u2018I AM. Stop being frightened!\u2019 So what is scaring you? What storms are you facing? What wind and wave is battering you? What is wearing you down? We need to learn to hear the voice of Jesus speaking those words to our hearts today \u2018I AM \u2013 Stop being frightened.\u2019\nConclusion - What mistakes did the disciples made? And what are we to learn?\nFirstly they thought they were alone. They didn\u2019t realise that Jesus was actually praying for them and knew exactly what was going on. Feeling separated they could only see the wind and waves. They had lost sight of the Lord even though He hadn\u2019t lost sight of them! They had forgotten that He was the One who actually made the waves. He was the One that made and controlled the wind. He was the One that had made the Sea of Galilee that was freaking them out so much! They had lost sight that He was the I AM. So the first thing He said was \u2018I AM \u2013 Stop being frightened!\u2019\nTo conclude, why did John write this Gospel and use the I AM\u2019s again?\n1) That you would believe that Jesus is the Son of God.\n2) That believing you would have LIFE in His name.\nIt is critical that you firstly believe for we saw that Jesus said \u2018unless you believe that I AM, you will die in your sins\u2019. But for those of us who do believe, we also want to have life in His name. As we have seen, one way, not the only way, but one way this comes about is through remembering and reckoning on Jesus being the I AM today. He is the One that is, at this very moment, everything that we need. He is the One that can calm the roaring seas when we have learnt what we need to learn. He is the One who speaks \u2018I AM \u2013 Stop being frightened!\u2019 when we just simply feel inadequate for the many demands of this trying life. And that can be quite often if you are like me.\nThe very last verse of this passage in John states: \u2018 So they were willing to receive Him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.\u2019\nThis has been on my mind since reading it. I can\u2019t tell you exactly what that is for you as it will change in different circumstances. I\u2019m sure you will have your own thoughts on what this means with what you are going through. But how I took it for myself is that I need to be willing drop my oars and my straining and receive Him into our boat (whatever situation that may be). John wrote this for a purpose and it is intriguing. There is somewhat of a mystery here for it once they received Jesus into the boat another miracle took place and immediately they were out of the storm, safe at the land having reached their destination.\nArgh, ok. You want some real riddles. Here you go\u2026\nI am greater than God, more evil than the devil, the poor often have me, the rich don't, and if you eat me, you'll die. What am I?\u2019 Nothing\nI'm light as a feather, yet the strongest man can't hold me for more than 5 minutes. What am I?\u2019 Breath\nHe who makes it, has no need of it.

It was a perfect act.\u201d\nNapoleon Bonaparte was also getting far closer to the truth when he said \u201cI know men and I tell you that Jesus Christ is no mere man. Between Him and every other person in the world there is no possible term of comparison.\" \u21a9\nM.M. inan in \u201c I AM \u2013 Symbols used by Jesus to explain Himself\u2019 &\u21a9\nJohn MacArthur writes on John 8:24 \u2018 \"He\" is not part of the original statement. Jesus' words were not constructed normally but were influenced by OT Hebrew usage. It is an absolute usage meaning \"I AM\" which has immense theological significance. The reference may be to both Exo_3:14 where the Lord declared His name as \"I AM\" and to Isaiah 40-55 where the phrase \"I am\" occurs repeatedly (especially Isa_43:10, Isa_43:13, Isa_43:25; Isa_46:4; Isa_48:12). In this, Jesus referred to Himself as the God (Yahweh\u2014the Lord) of the OT, and directly claimed full deity for Himself, prompting the Jews' question of verse Joh_8:25. \u21a9",

During the colonial period of early America, Virginia was the first to introduce a representative assembly. This first glimpse of democracy influenced the shape of America today. It eventually caused the colonies to drift away from monarchial England, and to establish a democratic government. Ironically, from this government, slavery and racism sprouted.\nIn an attempt to make Virginia a more pleasant place to live, the governor was instructed to create an assembly with the power to make laws. The assembly included two members from each plantation to serve as burgesses, or representatives. Convening in 1619 it became the first colonial, representative body (p.13). This was a significant step in the formation of America. A group of men representing the residents of a particular land would make laws that were meant for them. This was democracy at its earliest stage in America.\nEverywhere one goes today in America, there is democracy. Whether a church council, school club or the state general assembly, a representative group is always present. Democracy shapes America. One could view the first democratic group responsible for today's freedom. This was the assembly formed by George Yeardly (p.13). Perhaps, if the Virginia Company had not instructed the governor to establish an assembly, the idea of democracy might not have instilled into the minds of the colonists. Surely, without this first appearance, it is questionable that an idea suppressed for centuries under the English monarchy would surface anywhere else. Moreover, it led the way for other settlements to adopt a similar code.\nAnother way the representative body shaped America was slavery. Most representatives approved slavery and practiced it. The early burgesses of the Virginian assembly received land as their pay wages (p.14). They needed people to work their newly acquired lands. Therefore, indentured servants were common on their plantations. The whole idea of indentured servants and their later inadequacy eventually led to the flood of black slaves to America. Because these representatives owned servants and slaves themselves, slavery was easily passed into law. It has a huge impact on the racial tension in America today. Because of the representative government approved slavery, it existed in America.\nVirginia's first representative body helped form present America because it set an example of democracy for other colonies and broke from the common practice of lordship and monarchy. It eventually caused the colonies to drift away from monarchial England. If not for this first, the shape of America today would look much different.",

        "raw_content": "Association of IL-10 and IL-10R\u03b2 gene polymorphisms with graft-versus-host disease after haematopoietic stem cell transplantation from an HLA-identical sibling donor\nAuthor(s): Sivula Jyrki | Turpeinen Hannu | Volin Liisa | Partanen Jukka\nAbstract Background Extensive allelic matching in the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes is regarded as a prerequisite for good clinical success of allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Also other genetic factors can be assumed to play a role in preventing and controlling the complications associated with allogeneic HSCT, in particular graft-versus-host disease (GvHD). Interleukin-10 (IL-10) and its receptor (IL-10R), key regulators of the immune response, are among these candidates. We studied the association of IL-10 and IL-10R\u03b2 gene polymorphisms with the occurrence of GvHD in 309 HLA-identical sibling donor and recipient pairs. Results The difference in genotypic IL-10 production between patient and donor in combination with patient IL-10R\u03b2 A/A genotype predisposed strongly to acute GvHD (OR = 7.15, p = 0.000023). On the other hand, a combination of same genotypic IL-10 production with patient IL-10R\u03b2 A/A genotype protected from chronic GvHD (OR = 0.407, p = 0.0097). Conclusion Our results suggest that IL-10 and IL-10R\u03b2 genes have a synergistic effect on the risk of GvHD.",

        "title": "The Incarnation",
        "raw_content": "One of the most stupendous events recorded in the Bible is what people call the incarnation. If Christians are asked what they understood by this event, most would reply with something like \u2018When God took a body and became the Man Jesus Christ\u2019. Theologians would probably find such an explanation acceptable but theology is not necessarily in accord with Scripture. If we are believers, then it must be Scripture alone that carries authority for us, both in this and in every other matter\u2014it is to the Bible that we must turn. Again, I suppose that many would focus on the Lord\u2019s birth and understandably begin there. Perhaps surprisingly to such, this is only recorded by two of the four Evangelists (Matthew and Luke) and is absent entirely from the Epistles apart from one or two oblique references such as Gal. 4: 4. The Lord\u2019s birth is how He entered this scene. This has great importance, especially in regard to the setting in which it is placed, but is not in itself the truth of what we know as the incarnation. It does not figure in the NT books that deal with the matter such as Hebrews, Philippians and John\u2019s Gospel.\nJohn\u2019s Gospel and His Epistles\nScholars generally agree that John\u2019s Gospel was written late and was probably the last book of the Bible to be penned. The studious believer knows that this is so because of its contents compared to the rest of the NT. It is sufficient to say here that John was called by the Lord when mending nets (see Matt. 4: 21) and the whole of his subsequent ministry in his Gospel and Epistles, taking character from his calling, is on the line of mending and recovery. This, as I hope to show, includes the truth of the incarnation.\nJohn\u2019s presentation of the Lord in his Gospel is summed up by Paul when he says that \u201cGod has been manifested in flesh\u201d (1 Tim. 3: 16). John himself expresses the incarnation as \u201cthe Word became flesh\u201d\nOne striking feature of the book of Acts is that the majority of the communications from God recorded there are indirect\u2014that is through angelic agency, visions and the like. Even when Paul was addressed directly from heaven by the Lord himself, he refers to it years later in Acts 26: 19 as the \u201cheavenly vision\u201d. Nowadays people do of course claim to be spoken to by angels or to have had visions, but a considerable number also allege that God spoke to them directly. Such persons will eagerly point out Scriptures in the book of Acts that appear to justify their claims. That the writer of Acts records God as speaking to Christians without any (John 1: 14), without any detail as to how that took place. Accordingly, he commences his Gospel with the words \u201cIn [the] beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God\u201d (John 1: 1). Here we are taken back as far as our minds can comprehend to learn that the One who became flesh was already there in \u201c[the] beginning\u201d. When Scripture says that \u201cthe Word was God\u201d, we must accept the simple sense of the words and not try to inject any limitations into that statement by assuming it just means \u2018God in His nature\u2019 or any other such restriction. When the Bible says \u201cthe Word was God, it means exactly that.\nNow the Scriptures are complete\u2014there is nothing missing on the one hand nor anything superfluous on the other. Hence we can learn not only from what they say but also from what they do not say. John 1: 14 does not say \u2018the Word became man\u2019 but \u201cthe Word became flesh\u201d. Now there are several things connected with the incarnation that the Lord is said to have become. Examples are \u201cbecame a minister of [the] circumcision\u201d (Rom. 15: 8), \u201cbeing rich, became poor\u201d (2 Cor. 8: 9), \u201cbecame to all them that obey him, author of eternal salvation\u201d (Heb. 5: 9), \u201cbecome for ever a high priest\u201d (Heb. 6: 20), \u201cbecame surety of a better covenant\u201d (Heb. 7: 22) and \u201cbecame dead\u201d (Rev. 1: 18). Yet the Scriptures never say of the Lord that He became man but that He became flesh\u2014and Scripture is always wiser than we are.\nIn keeping with his Gospel, three times in his epistles (see 1 John 4: 2, 3; 2 John 1: 7) John speaks of Jesus Christ come in flesh, not come as man, the final instance being a warning that \u201cmany deceivers have gone out into the world, they who do not confess Jesus Christ coming in flesh\u2014this is the deceiver and the antichrist\u201d (2 John 1: 7). So why does the Bible never say that the \u2018Word became man\u2019?\nFlesh and Man\nIf there is one truth more than any other that is guarded by the Holy Spirit, it is \u201c[the] person of Christ\u201d (2 Cor. 2: 10). In considering the Lord, we must ever have before us the truth that He Himself stated: \u201cno one knows the Son but the Father\u201d (Matt. 11: 27). We must never assume that we can encompass all that is involved in the truth of His Person. Our knowledge will always be limited to what God has been pleased to reveal in the Scriptures and we must never tread beyond it.\nThat the Lord Jesus was truly a man is beyond dispute. Twice in His epistles Paul refers to the Lord directly as man (see Rom. 5: 15; 1 Tim. 2: 5) and the Lord Himself declared \u201cbut now ye seek to kill me, a man who has spoken the truth to you, which I have heard from God\u201d (John 8: 40). Man is a tripartite creature having spirit, soul and body (see 1 Thess. 5: 23). The Lord\u2019s manhood was real and accordingly we read of His spirit (see Mark 14: 33; John 11: 33, 13: 21, etc.), His soul (see Matt. 26: 38; Mark 14: 34; John 12: 27 etc.) and His body (see Matt. 27: 58; Luke 22: 19; Heb. 10: 5 etc.).\nSome, in their endeavour to stress the reality and perfection of His manhood, would speak of the Lord as having a human spirit, a human soul and a human body. This mars the uniqueness of that manhood and takes us beyond divine revelation into the sphere of human speculation. All the needs of the body were present in the Lord for we read of His hunger (see Matt. 4: 2; 21: 18), His thirst (see John 19: 28), His weariness (see John 4: 6) and His being asleep (see Matt. 8: 24). However, only some of the emotions common to man were there. Thus while we read of His joy (see John 15: 11; 17: 13), His sorrow (see Matt. 26: 37, 38) and His weeping (see Luke 19: 41; John 11: 35) there is never any thought of fear or mirth being expressed in \u201cthe days of his flesh\u201d (Heb. 5: 7). Note the language used: it is the days of His flesh (see also John 6: 51; Rom. 1: 3; 9: 5; 2 Cor. 5: 16; Eph. 2: 15; Col. 1: 22; 1 Pet. 3: 18; 4: 1), not the days of His manhood, and certainly not the days of His humanity\u2014that would link Him too closely with fallen man. Paul spoke \u201cafter the manner of men\u201d (Rom. 6: 19; AV), or \u201chumanly\u201d. However, that word (or its various forms) is never once used of the Lord or in relation to Him (see also 1 Cor. 2: 5, 13; 4: 3; 10: 13; James 3: 7; 1 Pet. 2: 13). Once again, Scripture is wiser than we are.\nMan is a creature but flesh is not. It is a condition or state of that creature. If the Bible had said that the Word became man, then such a statement could be used to argue that the Word exchanged His deity for manhood and that the Lord became a creature. When the Word became flesh, there was no change in what He ever was in Himself. The change was in the conditions that He entered into. The Word did not became a creature but did enter into the restrictive conditions belonging to the creature. Again, if the Scripture has said that the Lord became man, then, the door would be open to another error, namely that manhood was something additional that the Lord added to His deity, thus implying that the Lord had a dual personality. This is virtually stated when people speak of the Lord as the God\u00ad\u2013Man\u2014a term unknown to the Bible.\nHebrews Two\nThere is much that is in this chapter that is of great value for our souls to consider, but in connection with our subject we must confine ourselves to verses 9\u201315 and particularly verse 14. The incarnation is introduced by speaking of \u201cJesus, who [was] made some little inferior to angels on account of the suffering of death\u201d (v9). His abasement, by being made some little inferior to angels, we will see in all its depth when we come to consider Philippians 2. For the moment we must note that believers are referred to as children of God (see Heb. 2: 13) for, as we learn elsewhere, we have been born \u201cnot of blood, nor of flesh\u2019s will, nor of man\u2019s will, but of God\u201d (John 1: 13). Nonetheless, our natural birth, as distinct from our spiritual one, is one of blood and flesh. This brings us to Heb. 2: 14 where we read \u201cSince therefore the children partake of blood and flesh, he also, in like manner, took part in the same, that through death he might annul him who has the might of death, that is, the devil\u201d. What the Lord is said to have taken part in was not humanity, not manhood but \u201cblood and flesh\u201d, that is the natural condition of man\u2014sin apart. We enter that condition through birth and the Lord entered that condition \u201cin like manner\u201d, that is, through birth. But there is a guard inserted here by the writer which is not immediately apparent in the English translation. We \u201cpartake\u201d of that condition but He only \u201ctook part in the same\u201d. The intended difference is there in the Greek. The word used for partake is koinoneo which is the verb form of koinonia meaning fellowship or an equal common sharing. The condition of \u201cblood and flesh\u201d is common to all the children\u2014all partake of it. But when the writer says the Lord \u201ctook part in the same\u201d the word translated took part in is changed from koinoneo to metecho which only means to associate. This word always refers to something outside of oneself. What Scripture guards against here is any thought that the condition of blood and flesh that the Lord took completely defined Him. Those conditions were outside of and distinct from Himself.\nPhilippians Two\nThis is a Scripture where one must tread with extreme care, noting what is said, how it is said, and also what is not said, for as mentioned earlier, the Scriptures are complete, with nothing missing and nothing superfluous. Certain Greek words are used in Philippians 2 whose meanings affect our understanding of the passage and we must consider these first. We have morphe (form) in verses 6 and 7, doulos (bondman) in verse 7, ginomai (taking his place) in verse 7, homoioma (likeness) in verse 7 and schema (figure) in v8. Both homoioma (likeness) and schema (figure) always refer to external appearance. The essence of homoioma (likeness) is resemblance; that of schema (figure) is physical form. While morphe (form) can have an external aspect, it always indicates the essence of a matter. Greek has some eight words that can be translated servant and the word, doulos is the most extreme of all and means slave or, as the text has it, bondman. A slave is one whose only will is that of his master. The word ginomai (taking his place) could be translated becoming meaning a change from a previous state, condition, or position\u2014a meaning it has elsewhere in the Scriptures.\nTurning now to the detail of the verses, the introductory words are \u201cFor let this mind be in you which [was] also in Christ Jesus \u2026\u201d (v5). It is not just the Lord\u2019s actions but the thinking behind those actions that we are to have as believers\u2014and the Apostle employs the truth of the incarnation to this end. The Lord is thus shown as the great pattern for us. No stoop could be greater than His stoop. It is not from God to man but from God to slave, for the bondservice takes precedence over the manhood in the order in which the two truths are presented. This action was entirely His.\nWhat form (morphe) means in v7, it must also mean in v6. We must work from what we know to what we don\u2019t know. While men may have had some limited appreciation of the outward expression of the Lord\u2019s bondservice, in its essence it was not partial, nor relative but absolute. He himself says: \u201cI do always the things that are pleasing to him\u201d (John 8: 29, my emphasis). Thus if \u201ctaking a bondman\u2019s form\u201d (Phil. 2: 7) means that the Lord\u2019s bondmanship was absolute, then \u201csubsisting in the form of God\u201d (v6) likewise means that He was God in the absolute sense of the word.\nDid the Lord lay aside His deity at the incarnation? Emphatically not, for the word subsisting is the present participle indicating continuance. He was God and remained God. In contrast to Adam, He \u201cdid not esteem it an object of rapine\u201d (that is robbery) \u201cto be on an equality with God\u201d (v6). He was not taking something away from God, for He was God. The words \u201ctaking a bondman\u2019s form\u201d (v7) tell how He \u201cemptied himself\u201d. He divested Himself of the Godhead glory that was rightfully His by descending to the position of a bondman or slave. Such was the immensity of the stoop! It could not be greater. It is only now that Paul comes to the Lord\u2019s manhood and the language is, as ever, precise. The Greek allows the words \u201ctaking his place\u201d to be replaced by a single word becoming. But Paul does not go so far as to say \u2018becoming a man\u2019. As ever there is a guard. It is becoming in \u201c[the] likeness of men\u201d (v7, my emphasis). Outwardly, the Lord resembled other men. And this is stressed by a measure of repetition with \u201chaving been found in figure as a man\u201d (v8)\u2014there were no physical differences. It then says He \u201chumbled himself\u201d. The action was His for no man ever humbled him. The account of His stoop is completed by giving us the extent of that bondservice in His \u201cbecoming obedient even unto death, and [that the] death of [the] cross\u201d (v8).\nWe now come to the heart of the matter of the Lord\u2019s incarnation. Let us recall that Paul placed the Lord\u2019s bondservice before His manhood in Phil. 2 because it takes precedence over all else. His manhood was the means by which the Lord carried out the will of God as the divine Servant. This bondservice is expressed in Paul\u2019s use of Psalm 40: \u201cWherefore coming into the world he says, Sacrifice and offering thou willedst not; but thou hast prepared me a body. \u2026 Then I said, Lo, I come (in [the] roll of the book it is written of me) to do, O God, thy will\u201d (Heb. 10: 5, 7). This is the essence of the incarnation. Let us see how the Lord Himself states it. \u201cI am come down from heaven, not that I should do my will, but the will of him that has sent me\u201d (John 6: 38). Note the dignity of that descent and the absence of any thought of birth. Note also the Gospel from which the words are taken. Strikingly, as already mentioned, it is only in John that the Lord speaks of Himself as a man and correspondingly we have His bondservice brought before us much more in this Gospel than in Matthew and Luke, or even Mark (Mark\u2019s presentation of the Lord\u2019s service is not the extreme one of slavery to the will of God). So why does John stress the Lord\u2019s bondservice so much? Perhaps it is because this was in danger of being lost to the saints. In keeping with this, the matter of the Lord being sent dominates John\u2019s Gospel, with the Lord speaking of Himself as being sent over 40 times. Servants are sent (see Acts 3: 26) and the Lord was no exception.\nNow God alone is independent in the absolute sense. By contrast every creature is dependent on God for life and the conditions in which that life is set. When the \u201cWord became flesh\u201d (John 1: 14), He entered into the dependent and limited conditions belonging to man as the Bondservant. Let us hear His own words. \u201cI cannot do anything of myself; as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous, because I do not seek my will, but the will of him that has sent me\u201d (John 5: 30). Ponder the full force of those words \u201cI cannot do anything of myself\u201d\u2014they state an impossibility. Thus although the Lord remained what He ever was as \u201cGod blessed for ever. Amen\u201d (Rom. 9: 5), He entered the restrictive conditions of a bondservant and His only will was that of the Master who sent Him\u2014for slaves are subject only to their master\u2019s commandments. Peruse the Synoptics and you will find nothing of the Father\u2019s commandments to the Son even though the centurion caught something of the flavour of the Lord\u2019s position as the Bondservant (see Matt. 8: 9). Yet several times in John He speaks of receiving the Father\u2019s commandment. He says \u201cas the Father has commanded me, thus I do\u201d (John 14: 31) and \u201cthe Father who sent me has himself given me commandment what I should say and what I should speak\u201d (John 12: 49). Throughout \u201cthe days of his flesh\u201d (Heb. 5: 7), the perfect Bondman did nothing and said nothing without the Father\u2019s express commandment. In regard to His death, no man would take His life from Him, for He said \u201cI lay it down of myself.\u201d Yet He would not even do that without the needed authority: \u201cI have authority to lay it down and I have authority to take it again. I have received this commandment of my Father\u201d (John 10: 18). So that as that pathway drew to a close, He could say \u201cI have kept my Father\u2019s commandments\u201d (John 15: 10).\nIt is only in the immediacy of His death, when \u201cbecoming obedient even unto death, and [that the] death of [the] cross\u201d (Phil. 2: 8), that the synoptic Gospels record His bondservice: \u201cMy Father, if it be possible let this cup pass from me; but not as I will, but as thou [wilt]\u201d (Matt. 26: 39; see also Mark 14: 36; Luke 22: 42); The closest we get to this in John is the Lord saying \u201cNow is my soul troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But on account of this have I come to this hour. Father, glorify thy name. (John 12: 27, 28).\nAs God and as Man\nBelievers are often inclined to speak of the Lord\u2019s actions and words by saying things like that He did this as God or said that as man. This phraseology \u2018as God\u2019 or \u2018as man\u2019, although apparently useful for some, is nowhere to be found in the Scriptures. Nor is it right, for in effect it gives the Lord a dual personality. But surely, some might say, we have examples of the Lord exercising omniscience such as \u201cBut he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not subsist\u201d (Matt. 12: 25; see also Luke 6: 8; 11: 17). Surely only one who is God knows the thoughts of men? Is this not a clear example of the Lord\u2019s omniscience? Was He not acting as God there? Did He not know everything? Consider His own words given on another occasion: \u201cBut of that day or of that hour no one knows, neither the angels who are in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father.\u201d (Mark 13: 32). This Scripture puts omniscience out of court entirely. Note too the terminology. It is the Son as distinct from the Father. The Lord Jesus knew the thoughts of men but only as told by the Father. We get something similar in the OT when Elisha knew what Gehazi had done (see 2 Kings 5: 26) because, being a prophet, he knew the mind of God since God had told him. As for the other two theological demands, omnipresence is ruled out by the restrictive conditions into which the Lord entered in the days of His flesh. He could only be in one place at a time. That leaves just omnipotence to consider.\nWhen the Lord \u201crebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm\u201d, we can say with the astonished disciples \u201cWhat sort [of man] is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?\u201d (Matt. 8: 26, 27). Creation, of which He was the Creator (see Heb. 1: 2, 10) obeyed the Lord. So how can this be any other than a clear example of His omnipotence? Not so! Read Joshua 10: 12\u201315 in which we are told that the sun and the moon stood still at \u201cthe voice of a man\u201d (v14). Joshua was not God but creation obeyed his command. The Lord stilling the waves is no more proof of His omnipotence than His being \u201cwearied with the way\u201d (John 4: 6) is supposedly evidence that He was not God.\nThe simple truth is that the Lord, although being God, never exercised His deity when here in the flesh. To have done so would have been to step out of the pathway of the Bondman\u2014the divine slave. All was done and said at the Father\u2019s command. Such is the wonder of the incarnation.\nAlthough important in its own setting, the birth of the Lord Jesus is not exactly the incarnation, being simply the means by which it took place. The Bible never speaks of the Lord becoming man, guarding against any thought of Him exchanging His deity for manhood. Although the His manhood was real, it was also unique. While He ever remained what He was in Himself as God, He entered into the limited conditions of the creature expressed in the words of Scripture by \u201cthe Word became flesh\u201d (John 1: 14). Those conditions involved taking the form of a bondman, a service that took precedence over His manhood. Throughout His pathway here He ever acted as the perfect Bondman, never saying or doing anything without the Father\u2019s command. Contrary to popular belief, He never acted as God, but always as a bondman to the divine will.\nWhen that pathway drew to a close He said to the Father \u201cI have completed the work which thou gavest me that I should do it\u201d (John 17: 4). That bondservice is now ended and the days of His flesh are over and will never be repeated. He is no longer in the conditions of blood and flesh (see Luke 24: 39), for the blood has been shed, and though He is still a man, He is no longer in a bondman\u2019s form. God has been glorified in the very scene where He had been dishonoured, the work for man\u2019s eternal blessing completed and the devil defeated (see Heb. 2: 14). The One who stooped so low is now exalted and given \u201ca name, that which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of heavenly and earthly and infernal [beings], and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord to God [the] Father\u2019s glory\u201d (Phil. 2: 9\u201311).",

        "raw_content": "RI Journal Bulletin Interviews Local Karaoke DJ\nUpcoming magazine-style article about local karaoke entertainment will be printed in the Rhode Island Providence Journal Bulletin in the very near future.\nCaught In The Act DJ, Adrienne West, was interviewed last week by a writer for the Providence Journal. Evidentally, there is some question as to whether or not karaoke is still a popular form of entertainment today as compared to when it first hit the scene in the USA in the early 1980's. He also asked questions pertaining to what makes a person sing karaoke; what's the drive? What's the hype? Adrienne was all too willing to answer these questions...\n\"I've always been amazed by the unexpected.\" Adrienne states, when asked what keeps her interested as a karaoke DJ. \"It's wild to see someone who, on the outside, is just that cable repair man, the counter clerk at the convenience store or even the guy who works at the gas station down the street. As they get up to the microphone, however, something clicks. When every day people get in the spotlights and start singing, it's an amazing transformation at times! There's a rock star in all of us.\"\nAdrienne furthered her point by mentioning, \"I think, for people who are working hard all week, coming to a karaoke venue to let off steam is another factor. Some folks simply enjoy having fun with it, and they get a kick out of seeing everyone having fun along with them...it's a great time!\"\nIf you're one who enjoys the thrill of the karaoke experience or even if you simply perfer being in the audience, it's easy to see that this type of entertainment is still as popular today as it was in the 1980's. \"Some people come out to watch and enjoy the atmosphere, while others enjoy being center stage. The applause is a rush!\" said one karaoke patron at Copperfield's Lounge in Warwick, RI.\nKeep an eye out for the upcoming article in the Providence Journal. Brian, a writer for the newspaper, made his way to Copperfield's Thursday, September 25, 2003. He asked karaoke-goers questions as to why they enjoy this scene. What makes a karaoke fan...well...a fan? Brian recently said he needs more for this story; he also said perhaps he'll be back at Copperfield's on a Sunday this time. Maybe he can be convinced to sing?\nCopyright Caught In The Act Karaoke E-Zine. October 2003\nReturn to Caught In The Act Karaoke Site",

        "raw_content": "This is the final post in the series \u201cHis Name Shall Be Called\u2026\u201d I pray the series has been a blessing to you leading up to this \u201cmost wonderful time of the year.\u201d\nAlthough it wasn\u2019t prophesied in the Old Testament that the Savior\u2019s name would be Jesus, the angel that appeared to Joseph declared that is what his name would be called (Matthew 1:21).\nJesus means \u2013 \u201cJehovah is salvation.\u201d His name is Jesus because \u201che will save his people from their sins.\u201d\nAccording to Philippians 2:5-11 this name \u201cJesus\u201d is a name above every other name.\n\u201cYou must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. 6 Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. 7 Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, 8 he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal\u2019s death on a cross. 9 Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.\u201d\nWhat\u2019s Special About The Name Of \u201cJesus?\u201d\nThere is power in the name of Jesus. In Acts 4:10 when Peter was asked \u201cBy what power or what name did you do this?\u201d (Those asking were referring to the crippled beggar being healed). Peter replied: \u201cLet me clearly state to all of you and to all the people of Israel that he was healed by the powerful name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, the man you crucified but whom God raised from the dead.\u201d\nThe name of Jesus provoked rulers to prohibit believers from speaking it. Those in authority were so upset that the beggar was healed in the name of Jesus that they prohibited the believers from even speaking it. \u201cSo they called the apostles back in and commanded them never again to speak or teach in the name of Jesus.\u201d (Acts 4:18)\nPeople rejoice to suffer for the name of Jesus. The name of Jesus is so powerful and special that the apostles rejoiced that they were counted worthy to suffer for the name of Jesus. \u201cThe apostles left the high council rejoicing that God had counted them worthy to suffer disgrace for the name of Jesus.\u201d (Acts 5:41)\nPeople are baptized in the name of Jesus. \u201cSo he gave orders for them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Afterward Cornelius asked him to stay with them for several days.\u201d (Acts 10:48).\nDemons must obey the name of Jesus. After several days of a demon possessed girl following Paul and Silas around, Paul became weary of it and in Acts 16:18 he spoke to the demonic spirit and said: \u201cI command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.\u201d And instantly it left her.\nUnbelievers oppose the name of Jesus. Before Paul was converted he felt he had an obligation to oppose the name of Jesus. In Acts 26:9 he declares: \u201cI used to believe that I ought to do everything I could to oppose the very name of Jesus the Nazarene.\nThe name of Jesus is a special, wonderful, and powerful name. It is a name above all others. It is a name that will bring us the light of God\u2019s truth.\nThat light is Jesus the Wonderful Counselor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace, and Immanuel, God with us; He is Jesus, He is Jehovah salvation. He is our Savior!\nIs Jesus your Savior?\nChristmas, Jesus Everlasting Father, Immanuel, Jesus, Mighty God, Prince of Peace, Savior, Wonderful Counselor\nReminds me of how privileged I am to know Him, Jesus.

Odom on my blog for the YA Scavenger Hunt\nChad R. Odom, just like many authors, hears voices in his head. He can\u2019t contain the stories any longer, and is relieved to be releasing his first series\u2013The Last Archide.\nChad was born and raised in St. Louis, but loves to travel. He met the love of his life in Las Vegas, and his wife Katie is his inspiration for his character Celeste.\nHe spends his spare time watching movies and doing a critique vlog with his best buddies. He also loves spending time with his sons and daughters, and serving his church and community. Find out more information by checking out the author website or find more about the author\u2019s book here or connect with him on his website, Twitter, or Facebook page.\nChad\u2019s offering us an exclusive interview with Oryan Jeckstadt, the main character from his book, Ascension.\nIn the sports world, we hear the terms \u201cphenom\u201d and \u201csure thing\u201d far too often to be comfortable with them. They\u2019re thrown around so much, they almost become clich\u00e9. In fact, if you\u2019re anything like those of us who cover sports, you know that hearing either of those two words makes you even more skeptical of the athlete.\nDon\u2019t get me wrong, it\u2019s not the athlete\u2019s fault. They could possess incredible talent but once an agent, team, manager, or whomever starts attaching those titles to someone, it\u2019s almost impossible to live up to the reputation.\nEvery now and again, they get it right. Maybe once in a lifetime, an athlete comes along who lives up to the hype. Maybe once in a century an athlete comes along who redefines the terms.\nNo matter how good they are, it\u2019s important to remember, our sports heroes are still just people.\nWe\u2019ll start with the basics. What\u2019s your favorite color?\nRed or brown. Not sure which one I like better.\nA motto?\nSure. Some saying you live by?\nIf you had 3 wishes, what would they be?\nSee my parents again, that\u2019s first. Play a musical in-strument. I don\u2019t know\u2026sweat less?\nA musical instrument? That\u2019s interesting.\nI love music and I love to watch people who play. It seems like such a neat skill to have, I just don\u2019t have the time to learn it.\nIf you had free time, how would you spend it?\nKey word there is \u201cif.\u201d Honestly, I don\u2019t know. Prob-ably just be a normal teenager, I guess, and do nor-mal teenager stuff. I\u2019d love to just be a tourist.\nA tourist?\nYeah, I mean I go from place to place so fast I never have time to see the sights, ride the rides, take a few pictures compromising pictures of my friends; you know, the tourist stuff.\nOn that note, what would be your prefect vaca-tion?\nAnything that puts me in a place where technology can\u2019t reach me! Probably climbing a mountain or sailing. It\u2019s hard to say, I don\u2019t have much of a frame of reference.\nYou mentioned your friends earlier. What do you think makes a good friend?\nMy dad used to say, \u201cChoose your friends carefully because you can\u2019t choose your family.\u201d The friends I have are my friends because they\u2019re genuine. They can be themselves around me and I can do the same. They\u2019re like the brothers I never had, so I guess my dad was a little wrong. I get to choose some of my family.\nWhat\u2019s the quality you like most in the people you meet?\nThat\u2019s a tough one. Probably humility.\nHumble people are teachable. I struggle with that, so it gives me a model to follow, if that makes sense.\nSo, who\u2019s your model? We all know the memory of your parents is big for you, but what living person do you most admire?\nTecton.\nTecton Colvitt?\nYeah, that guy\u2019s my rock. No matter what else is go-ing on, he\u2019s got a smile on his face. He\u2019s always got a joke or a smart remark or something to make every-one laugh. It\u2019s just not possible to be in a bad mood around him.\nFlip side. What\u2019s the most overrated virtue?\nI don\u2019t think there such a thing. Virtues are the things that make life worth living. You can\u2019t have too many of them.\nYou\u2019re the most recognizable sports figure in the world. I see kids pretending to be you all the time. What do you say to those kids and others who want to be a Centauri?\nLove the sport. It doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019re good, bad or average, but you have to love it. If you love it, you\u2019ll take more away from it than you put in and that\u2019s what matters.\nMan, that\u2019s another good one. Having a family one day, I guess. That\u2019s what I want when this is all over, so I\u2019d say that\u2019s it.\nDo you have any regrets so far?\nOvereating at a buffet.\nI don\u2019t know that I have any regrets. A regret is something you did or didn\u2019t do that you\u2019d take back, right? I mean, I wish I could see my parents again but that\u2019s not really a regret. I heard a Centauri in the women\u2019s circuit say if she changed anything she wouldn\u2019t be where she is and I think she\u2019s right about that.\nOk, no regrets. You\u2019ve stood down some of the most feared men in the world. Any of them scare you?\nYeah, why do you think I knock them down as fast as I can? I don\u2019t want to give them a chance to try and hit me again!\nWhat else scares you?\nYeah, they\u2019re terrifying. It\u2019s hard enough to talk to them alone, then they travel in packs. You feel like a scavenger trying to pick off the weakest one when they separate from the herd or something. No matter what you want to say to them, the moment they actually give you any time, you can\u2019t remember any of what you wanted to say.\nSo, no girls.\nI didn\u2019t say that! Let\u2019s not get crazy. You just asked what scares me and that\u2019s it.\nLast one, Oryan, I promise. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?\nDarker hair. Do you know how hard it is to keep white hair clean?\nThe war to end all wars is a spark away from engulfing the world in conflict and death. With super-weapons designed for Armageddon, world leaders preach restraint, but prepare to fight.\nOryan Jeckstadt is born into slavery-the result of an Emperor who secretly punishes his enemies with a fate worse than death. He is thrust into a brutal, but wildly popular sport with participants known as Centauri. Knowing his father\u2019s freedom is at stake, he determines to be the best in the world.\nAfter being orphaned, Elesya Celeste trains as a Centauri. Constantly placed in Oryan\u2019s shadow, she strives not just to outshine him, but to eclipse him.\nUnknown to them, powerful forces are setting them up to alter the destiny of the world. Some want them to save it and others to burn it down. Who to trust remains a mystery.\nAs the uneasy peace disintegrates, countries use Centauri victories as political influence. In this high-stakes environment, Oryan and Celeste are torn apart even as they are brought together.\nDon\u2019t forget to enter the contest for a chance to win a ton of books by me, Chad Odom, and more! To enter, you need to know that my favorite number is 7. Add up all the favorite numbers of the authors on the pink team and you\u2019ll have all the secret code to enter for the grand prize!\nThank you so much for visiting my website!\nTo keep going on your quest for the hunt, you need to check out the next author, DAX VARLEY!",

        "title": "\"Three Soldiers\" - Kim Reads and Bakes",
        "raw_content": "\"Three Soldiers\"\nJohn Dos Passos was politicized by his experiences of war. During World War I he served as an ambulance driver in Italy and France and his experiences led him to become a Communist. Later, his experiences during the Spanish Civil War caused him to become disenchanted with the left and his politics became increasingly conservative during the 1950s.\nWhen this novel was published in 1921, it caused a sensation. A direct result of Dos Passos\u2019 World War I experiences, it\u2019s a passionate anti-war polemic, albeit one that deals less with the horror of actual warfare and more with the pettiness, corruption and cruelty of military life. The work relates the experiences of three young American men with different backgrounds and motivations, who embark for Europe to serve their country. Ultimately, the narrative focuses on John Andrews, a sensitive Harvard-educated musician, whose attitudes most closely reflect those of the author.\nHad I not listened to the audiobook version of the novel immediately after listening to Ernest Hemingway\u2019s \u201cThe Sun also Rises\u201d, I suspect that I would have liked it more. While the writing is powerful and unsentimental, its verbosity does not compare well with Hemingway\u2019s simpler, less cluttered style. The novel would have been much better, I think, \u2013 and probably more widely read today \u2013 if the prose wasn\u2019t weighed down by quite so many adverbs, adjectives and similes. Even though I usually love ornate prose, the language in this novel at times made me impatient. Further, I was never in any doubt as to what the author wanted me to think and how he wanted me to feel, when I would have preferred to simply feel and think for myself.\nThat said, I don\u2019t regret the time I spent listening to the novel, which was beautifully narrated by George Guidall, and I plan to read more of Dos Passos\u2019 work. My interest in his writing has been sparked by my \u201cLost Generation\u201d reading project. It\u2019s been interesting to discover a writer who was well known and critically well received in his time. It\u2019s a shame that he\u2019s not better known now.",

        "title": "Jaiku | Kris Johnson's Blog\u2026sort of.",
        "raw_content": "Tag Archives: Jaiku\nWebstuff: Twitter and Jaiku\nI signed up for a Twitter account in late February after hearing about the service on the technology podcast This Week in Tech (coincidentally known as TWiT). A couple of days ago, Leo Laporte \u2014 the head TWiT and probably the most friended person on Twitter \u2014 announced on his blog that he was switching from Twitter to Jaiku in an effort to create distance and distinction between the TWiT podcast and the Twitter service, which are unrelated. The announcement resulted in \u201cThe Leo Effect\u201c, a wave of new account signups at Jaiku.\nSo what are Twitter and Jaiku? Why \u2014 apart from the name \u2014 would a discerning Internet user choose one over the other?\nCentral to both services is the ability to post short, 140-character updates, either from an SMS-enabled cell phone or from a web interfaceTwitter also allows posting of tweets via some instant messaging protocols; Jaiku does not presently offer this functionality. Both Twitter and Jaiku have made their API public, which allows developers to create applications like Twitter Tools, which allows users to display their latest tweets in the WordPress sidebar as well as post tweets from within their WordPress blog. I suspect that \u201cThe Leo Effect\u201d will result in a host of new plugins and widgets for Jaiku.. On Twitter, these updates are referred to as \u201ctweets\u201d, while on Jaiku they are known simply as \u201cjaikus\u201d. The 140-character limit is anything but arbitrary; the services are both designed to be used by on-the-go types from their cell phones. SMS, the text-messaging service available on most cell phones today, has a built-in 140 byte limit on individual messages. This translates to one hundred and forty 8-bit characters or \u2014 for languages like Chinese, Russian and Arabic whose characters are more complex \u2014 seventy 16-bit characters.\nThe ability to [post a short message on a web page] is insignificant compared to the power of The Force.\nSo you can send a message to a website with your cell phone. What\u2019s the point? The real key is building a list of contacts whose updates you want to see and (presumably) who want to see your updates as well. On Twitter, updates from your contacts can be delivered directly to your cell phone or to an instant messaging client (I use Jabber via Gaim Pidgin IM). Thus, you can keep in constant contact with your contacts (or \u201cfriends\u201d, if you must). It\u2019s up to you to decide whether or not this is a good thing.\nJaiku takes the basic functionality of Twitter and expands upon it, adding a sprinkle of Tumblr, giving users the ability to add pretty much any RSS or Atom feed \u2014 be they photos from Flickr, posts from a blog or even a feed from Twitter \u2014 to their \u201cstream of presence\u201d. Anything in this stream can be commented upon via the Jaiku website, whether it is an SMS message, a blog entry, or a photo from Flickr. My own Jaiku includes the following:\nThe RSS feed for blog entries from KJToo.com. This post will appear on my Jaiku stream shortly after I publish it.\nThe photostream from my Flickr account. As I add new photos to Flickr, they will appear in my Jaiku stream.\nMy Twitter RSS feed. My \u201ctweets\u201d already appear on KJToo.com thanks to the Twitter Tools plugin. They will also appear in my Jaiku stream. This allows me to keep using Twitter and still take advantage of Jaiku\u2019s expanded feature set. The main drawback to this is the delay between the time I tweet and when that tweet appears in my Jaiku stream.\nMy Squirl feed. When I add new items to my Squirl collections, they\u2019ll appear in my Jaiku stream.\nOf course, everything in my Jaiku stream is already available at KJToo.com, so why would I want to collect it all at Jaiku, too? It\u2019s a fair question, and one to which I don\u2019t have a good answer. One of the benefits of creating a single stream of presence at Jaiku is also something of a drawback. Every item in a Jaiku stream \u2014 whether it\u2019s an SMS message, a photo retrieved from a Flickr photostream or a blog post from an RSS feed \u2014 can be commented upon at the Jaiku site. This is nice in that it allows for a lot of interaction, but not so nice because (as far as I can tell) those comments won\u2019t automatically be transferred to the original source of the jaiku.\nFor example, if someone comments on this blog post from the Jaiku website, it will be seen by anyone who reads my Jaiku page or has added me as a contact there; unfortunately, the same comment will not be seen on KJToo.com. This allows for increased interaction, but also segregates that interaction based on where a reader sees the content.\nUnlike Jaiku, Twitter seems to have no aspirations to become (as Evo Terra has called it) \u201ca portal for all things me\u201d; there are no options to import RSS feeds from other sources, there\u2019s no secondary commenting system, and there isn\u2019t a library of icons to associate with individual tweets. Instead, Twitter focuses on their bread and butter: the aforementioned tweets.\nThat\u2019s why I\u2019m keeping my Twitter account and will continue to use it. Jaiku will doubtless introduce a post-via-IM feature in the near future, but Twitter already has it and I\u2019m interested to see what their development team will do next. I also want to see what other developers do with the Twitter API. Already there is the ridiculously addictive Twitter/Google Maps mashup, Twittervision (which seems to be somewhat broken at the moment) and a host of tools for integrating Twitter into blogs; I have no idea what people more technically-minded than I will create.\nMy final reason for sticking with Twitter is simple: it\u2019s where my friends are. There\u2019s a small but active group of authors, bloggers and podcasters in my circle of friends who use Twitter, and the only reason I would drop the service completely is if they all decided to switch.\nJaikuTwitterWeb 2.0",

        "title": "Lignocellulosic materials in hydrolysis and spent liquors",
        "raw_content": "Lignocellulosic materials in hydrolysis and spent liquors\nTarasovD2018d-1b.pdf (3.328Mb)\nTarasov, Dmitry\nHydrolysis liquors\nLignocellulosic materials\nLignin-carbohydrate complexes\nBiomass pretreatment is widely used for softening biomass prior to its disintegration for value added product production. There are numerous methods for biomass pre-treatment, among which alkaline pulping and acid hydrolysis are the most widely applied. Hydrothermal treatment or autohydrolysis has a similar concept of action to acid hydrolysis, while autohydrolysis is the chemical-free and environmentally friendly technology. Hydrothermal and alkaline pulping pretreatments lead to lignin and polysaccharide dissolutions in hydrolysate and spent liquor (SL), respectively. Lignin and carbohydrates presented in hydrolysates and SL can be used for manufacturing value-added products. Lignin can be employed in carbon fiber, phenol formaldehyde, and hydrogen productions, for example, and hemicelluloses could be used for ethanol or xylitol production. However, the direct conversion of lignocellulosic materials present in hydrolysates and SL to value-added products is expensive due to their low concentrations. Lignocelluloses can be isolated from these liquors via acidification, solvent precipitation and membrane filtration. It is well known that lignocelluloses have different properties. Pulping and pretreatment processes have also great impacts on the properties of the extracted lignocellulose in liquors. Despite their effectiveness in isolating lignocelluloses, the impact of lignocelluloses properties on the efficiency of extraction processes is unknown. In this dissertation, the effect of autohydrolysis parameters on the properties, structure and composition of extracted lignocellulosic material was investigated. Also, the effect of lignocellulose's properties presented in hydrolysates and SL on the efficiency of acidification and solvent extraction was examined. The efficiency of lignocelluloses extraction from softwood chips via flow through autohydrolysis pretreatment was investigated in this PhD study. The highest temperatures applied in the autohydrolysis process were found to yield maximum removal of lignin from wood; whereas, prolonged hydrothermal treatment increased the removal of hemicelluloses from wood. In addition, it was discovered that a low flow velocity led to higher lignocelluloses removal. However, at high liquid flow rates hemicelluloses with larger molecular weight (Mw) were extracted. Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) analysis revealed the presence of lignin-carbohydrate complexes (LCC) in the hydrolysates. The GPC analysis showed that the hydrolysate generated in autohydrolysis treatment with a high liquid to solid (L/S) ratio contained a significantly lower amount of lignin presented in the LCC form. Moreover, 2D HSQC NMR spectroscopy revealed the existence of LCC linkages only in lignocellulosic materials obtained via lyophilisation of hydrolysate produced at the lowest autohydrolysis severity. The material generated as the result of mixing ethanol with hydrolysates produced at low autohydrolysis intensity showed the highest sugar content and negligible lignin content. Acidification of hydrolysates generated at high severity conditions led to extraction of almost pure lignin. The isolated material produced from hydrolysates due to ethanol or acid addition showed approximately twice as much heat capacity values as that of dried hydrolysates. The 1H-NMR analysis revealed that the extracted materials via acidification contained more methoxyl groups and a lesser degree of cross-linking than those present in hydrolysate. The GPC analysis also suggested the presence of LCC in the hydrolysates before and after treatment processes. In addition, the current research studied the properties, structures, and composition of lignocelluloses in spent liquors before and after isolation. Furthermore, the effect of organic solvents (i.e., ethanol, acetone, isopropyl alcohol) on lignocelluloses removal and the properties of the isolated lignocelluloses were determined. In examining the impact of the solvent type, it was discovered that hemicelluloses isolation had the highest isolation at the lowest solvent concentrations. While acetone and isopropyl were found to be efficient for lignosulfonate extraction, the highest hemicelluloses removal was achieved with ethanol treatment. The molecular weight and charge density of isolated lignocelluloses was higher when ethanol was used in comparison with acetone and isopropyl. The examination of the heating values, ignition temperatures, and heat capacity values of the precipitates revealed the possibility of using these materials as fuel or additives in briquette production. Additionally, a direct correlation between the inorganic content of the extracted lignocelluloses and their Tg values was discovered. The results achieved in this dissertation can be used as guidelines for developing biorefining processes for generating lignocelluloses with different properties from hydrolysate or spent liquors of different pulping processes. In addition, information available in literature on the structure and properties of lignin-carbohydrate complexes (LCC) as well as their production, analysis and application were discussed and critically evaluated.",

        "raw_content": "with contributions from Frank Cottrell-Boyce\nresearch by Amanda Li\nIt seemed apt that, to launch a new feature on books focusing on the appreciation of children\u2019s literature, I would choose a book which focuses on the series of books that probably most fascinates and generates nostalgia : the Moomins.\nI don\u2019t remember ever coming across the Moomins as a child in France. The books are available there but there does not seem to be so widely known and adored as they are here. Could it be because the comic strips appeared in a British newspaper, the Evening News, in the 1950s, and that therefore there is more of a collective awareness of them? I am not sure. But consequently my own experience of the Moomins and their world is solely through the eyes of an adult, and I have to say the stories have left me a bit bewildered at times, as has the huge selection of merchandising available (though I\u2019ll admit to have partaken in the acquisition of a few Moomin things myself!). This new comprehensive guide of the Moomin world goes back to the roots of this incredible cultural phenomenon, focusing on the novels (rather than the comics) and their author.\nThe book is divided in two parts; the first, In Search of the Moomins, focuses on the world of Moomins while the second, The World of Tove Jansson, focuses on their creator\u2019s life. Both open with an essay by Frank Cottrell-Boyce, whose love of the Moomins really shines in these two thoughtful pieces in which he offers a thorough analytical study of some aspects of the works (you can also read more about his love of Moomins here). About what makes Tove Jansson\u2019s creation so special, he says, in the foreword:\n\u201cChildren\u2019s fiction tends to define people by social class, race or occupation, but Moomnivalley presents us with a kind of bestiary of personality types, of ways to behave and believe \u2013 a kind of map of the human heart\u201d\nHis second contribution on what is art for is equally fascinating; his study of the symbolism in the books, how they mirrored the world Jansson was navigating, from historical background to personal experience, is wonderful.\nThere is much depth of information about the world Jansson created amongst the pages of this tome, and told with the perfect balance of wit and warmth that we are used to from Philip Ardagh. Artwork, extracts, lists and other infographics as well as the use of a selection of typesets adorn Ardagh\u2019s text wonderfully. The design of the book really is superb, allowing to describe the depth and layers of the Moomin world without creating text-heavy pages which might put off readers (this is, after all, not an academic book though it is obvious how much research has gone into its creation). The map of the Moomin Family tree double-spread is a great example of this. While the book celebrates the much beloved characters in the series, several chapters are dedicated to lesser known characters or elements of the series; whether it is \u2018mysterious creatures\u2019 or \u2018the darker side of Moominvalley\u2019, this shows again how thorough the book aims to be, and will hopefully mean even the most knowledgeable of Moomin aficionados might discover something new.\nAs readers enter the second part of the book, the book changes visually also, the pages becoming cream rather than white. The focus here is of course on the creator, who was a fascinating character. I had not paid much attention to her life until I saw the fantastic BBC4 documentary which aired about five years ago, Moominland Tales. If you ever get a chance to see it, do (I hope the Beeb consider showing it again at some point).\nAgain the depth of information and detail is impressive, making many links between the Moomin world and Jansson\u2019s, offering insights into her personal and professional life, and illustrating it with photographs, artwork, early drawings, studying sketches and so many more treasures.\nTove and her brother Lars\nThe World of Moominvalley is an astute, comprehensive and superbly designed study of the author and her body of work which is accessible to all. This will be a real treat for die-hard fans as well as newcomers to the gloriously zany world of the Moomins. It will please both those who want a beautiful book on the Moomins to leaf through and those who are more serious about their study of this important body of work.\nAll images \u00a9 Moomin Characters \u2122",

The rating is also four levels higher than the A2 rating Moody\u2019s gave the village in 2006.\n\u201cStandard & Poor\u2019s said this is a very strong rating for a village the size of Malverne,\u201d McDonald said. \u201cIt\u2019s also an extraordinary rating considering the current state of the economy.\u201d\nAfter three village officials, Trustee Joseph Hennessy, Clerk Terry Emmel and Accountant Karin Regan, met with Standard & Poor\u2019s at its New York City office on Oct. 21 to discuss the village\u2019s finances and a plan to finance a $2 million bond, McDonald said, representatives from the agency informed the village of its new rating on Oct. 28.\nAt the Oct. 21 meeting, village officials made a formal presentation, which highlighted, among other things, Malverne\u2019s policies and tax collections. After reviewing all of the information, Standard & Poor\u2019s assigned the village the AA+ rating.\nHennessy noted that village officials stressed in the meeting that the board has made it a priority to find ways to cut expenditures while maintaining village services.\nMost recently, in September, the village signed a five-year garbage contract with Omni Recycling of Babylon Inc., ending a three-year search to find a new way to dispose of its trash after the village opted not to renew its contract with the Town of Hempstead. Comparing the garbage disposal costs in September 2008 to the costs in September 2009, village officials said, the village saved $14,871 by choosing the Omni deal.\n\u201cThe credit analyst from Standard & Poor\u2019s who met with us advised that this rating increase is due to the strong policies, practice and financial management of the village,\u201d McDonald said.\nMcDonald also announced at the Nov. 4 meeting that the new credit rating has enabled the village to get a lower interest rate for its $2 million serial bond issue, which will finance road improvements and pay off a $400,000 fire truck that was purchased in 2004. The village accepted a bid for the bond from Roosevelt & Cross Incorporated, a firm that specializes in tax-exempt and taxable municipal securities, that day.\n\u201cThis new credit rating helped the village to get a bid with a 2 percent interest rate for the first year of the bond, and it\u2019s going to be a 10-year bond,\u201d Hennessy explained. \u201cWe\u2019re very pleased with the rating because we believe it\u2019s going to help with this board\u2019s efforts to keep money in the taxpayers\u2019 pockets.\u201d\nComments about this story?

        "title": "10 Strangest Beaches In The World - Listverse",
        "raw_content": "Ben Gazur August 26, 2017\nEveryone loves a trip to the beach. The warmth of the Sun on your skin, the fresh air blowing off the sea, the soft sand between your toes, the glowing waves, the chunks of ice, and the hot springs are what make a holiday special.\nYou probably weren\u2019t expecting to read some of the items in that last sentence, but not all beaches are the same. Some have very unique qualities. Here are ten of the most unusual beaches on Earth to plan your next holiday around.\nFeatured image credit: Bruno Carlos\n10 Hidden Beach\nAlgar de Benagil in Portugal is one of the highlights of the Algarve coast. Someone walking by on the cliffs above might notice the hiss and rush of waves but not know where the sound is coming from. Getting closer, they will see a fence which surrounds a gaping hole. Only if they peer down into the hole will they see the hidden beach beneath.\nAlgar de Benagil is a natural grotto worn into the rock of the cliffs by the action of the tides.[1] In the arched space left behind, a beach has formed. The hole in the roof of the cave acts as an oculus which lets daylight in to the secluded, sandy beach. Since the only access to the grotto is from the sea, you\u2019ll have to brave the waves to enter between the rocks which guard the entrance if you want to visit.\n9 Black Sand And Chunks Of Ice\nIceland is a volcanic island in the North Atlantic. Because it is made of volcanic rock, it has many beaches which reflect the color of the rock they are worn from. Black sand can be found in many places. Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon is different; here, the black sands are dotted with chunks of diamond-clear glacial ice.\nJokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon is attached to the sea by Iceland\u2019s shortest river, a mere 1,500 meters (4,900 ft) long. The beach may look ancient and otherworldly, but it only formed in the mid-1930s as the glacier Breioamerkurjokull retreated.[2] It is from the glacier that the brilliant lumps of ice on the beach come. The lagoon is still growing, and growing faster each year, as the glacier melts. The black sand of the beach is what remains of the volcanic rocks, pulverized under the immense weight of the glacier.\n8 Hot Water Beach\nWhy do you take a bucket and spade to the beach? Most people would say to build sandcastles. In one area of New Zealand, you might get a very different answer. On the Coromandel Peninsula, people will say that they need them to dig their own hot water spa.\nHot Water Beach has one of the most literal geographic names in the world. When the tide goes out, water can be seen bubbling up from the sand. This water is hot. An underground river is warmed by geothermal heat that comes close to the surface here. [3]\nAs soon as the tide is out, visitors flock to the sand, some with spades which can be rented from a local cafe, and begin digging pools. The cold seawater retreats, and the pools fill with the hot water that gives the beach its name. Here, beachgoers can wallow in the natural spas. Then the tide comes in and washes all the pools away, leaving the beach flat for the next batch of visitors with their spades.\n7 Bioluminescent Beaches\nBioluminescent beaches can crop up almost anywhere. Some plankton and algae can glow with their own light\u2014called bioluminescence. Because it takes energy for them to glow, they only produce light in certain conditions. When these conditions are met, they can light up an entire beach.\nSome beaches have fairly regular bioluminescence at predictable times if you want to see this natural wonder.[4] By day, the depressingly named Mosquito Bay in Puerto Rico looks a slightly sludgy brown. At night, swimmers and kayakers can see dinoflagellates scintillating with blue light, their motion provoking the organisms to light up. In the Maldives during the autumn months, when the Moon is low, minuscule crustaceans produce a blue glow to help attract mates. Because they are larger than most algae and plankton, they sprinkle the sands with tiny dots of light.\nSome algae and plankton produce their light when put under pressure. Walking on a beach covered in them can leave a trail of glowing footprints behind.\n6 An Inland Beach\nThe very least you can say about most beaches is that they are beside the sea. Gulpiyuri beach in Spain bucks that trend by being inland. It\u2019s only 100 meters (330 ft) from the sea, but it\u2019s still cut off from it by high rocks and cliffs. Yet as the tide comes in on the sea beyond, the sand of this hidden beach is covered by water, too. How can such a tiny body of water be tidal?\nThe solution is a series of caves and channels that have formed in the rocks that connect Gulpiyuri to the sea beyond. The tiny beach was formed in the last Ice Age, and its name means \u201cCircle of Water.\u201d[5] Gulpiyuri is sometimes called the world\u2019s smallest beach, which may well be true. It is certainly surprising to find a beach in the middle of green field. At high tide, it is just about possible to swim at Gulpiyuri, but if you want to enjoy the sand, you should go at low tide and just wade in the knee-high sea.\n5 The Disappearing Sea\nWhen the tide goes out, beaches become great places to walk, run, or play sports on the sand. It\u2019s still nice to hear the sea nearby, though, to remind you where you are. In Chandipur in India, twice a day with the low tide, the sea entirely disappears.\nDue to the unusually flat seabed which comes up to the shore, the low tide makes the sea recede by up to 5 kilometers (3.1 mi).[6] The huge expanse of sand is used by locals and tourists for walks, bike rides, and even car journeys all the way out to the now-distant ocean. The exposed seabed is also rich in red crabs and other sea creatures, which twice a day find themselves gawped at by humans as they are cut off from the sea by kilometers of sand. The sight of the disappearing ocean is being used to attract tourists to the area. Just be sure you know the tide times, or you might find yourself suddenly 5 kilometers out at sea.\n4 Shell Beach\nSearching out seashells on the beach can be a good way to get children to pass the time. On Shell Beach in Australia, however, you should probably set them to the task of finding something other than seashells. A 70-kilometer (43 mi) stretch of the coast is covered in a layer of cockle shells up to 10 meters (33 ft) deep.[7]\nTrillions of cockle shells have built up in the area over the ages. The tide will eventually break them down into fine, sandy particles, but for the moment, the shells remain intact. In the past, locals mined the shells to turn them into building materials, though the beach is now a World Heritage Site and used for tourism as opposed to construction. The area also has hypersaline water. The extra salt makes it easy for visitors to float.\n3 Glass Beach\nUsually the last thing you want to see on a beach is broken glass. Some places, however, owe their uniqueness to the thoughtlessness of humans. Fort Bragg, California, has a beach covered in sparkling pebbles of sea-polished glass. For decades, the local communities dumped their unwanted goods, even cars, beside the sea. While organic things decayed, and metal either rusted or was taken away, broken glass built up and was tumbled by the waves into smooth lumps. The beach now is protected by law, and the iconic glass cannot be removed by visitors.[8]\nOther places around the world also have high concentrations of sea glass thanks to dumping by people. Ussuri Bay in Siberia is home to glassmaking factories which dumped their mistakes into the sea. Now, the beach is a colorful mix of stones and sea glass.\n2 Parrotfish Poop\nWhat could be more romantic than walking hand-in-hand with your loved one over a gleaming, white, sandy beach? Maybe you lie in the sand and let it run through your fingers and muse on where so much beauty came from. Few people would imagine that all the dazzling sand around them is the product of fish poop.\nParrotfish live in reefs and feed by gnawing on the coral. The fish are after the algae that live on the reef and cannot digest the calcium carbonate their hard beaks break off to get at them. Teeth in the fishes\u2019 throats crush the tough calcium carbonate, and when it passes out of the digestive tract, it is fine like sand.[9] A single parrotfish can produce up to 360 kilograms (800 lb) of sand each year. Multiply that by thousands of fish and thousands of years, and you get those highly sought-after white beaches.\n1 Dragon Egg Beach\nNew Zealand\u2019s amazing natural landscape has made it a favorite location for filming fantasy movies, as it has sights found nowhere else on Earth. Dragon Egg Beach may sound like something out of Game of Thrones, but it is a real place and a popular tourist destination.\nThere is a stretch of Koekohe Beach that is dotted with large, spherical boulders. These Moeraki boulders formed 60 million years ago from concretions of mud, clay, and calcite. The boulders formed underground and thus were not smoothed by the motion of the waves. They have only recently been washed out of the cliffs above, from which they roll down to the beach.[10] The boulders are full of erratic cracks, which, once exposed, can break open to give the boulders the look of hatching eggs.\nLocal Maori legend has the boulders being formed when they first sailed to their new home. One of their canoes was wrecked, and as it sank, baskets and gourds were thrown overboard. The hull of the canoe became the reef that surrounds the beach, while the jettisoned goods became the Moeraki boulders.\nBen Gazur is a freelance writer. You can follow him on Twitter as he dreams of visiting the places he writes about.\nRead more about the world\u2019s beaches on Top 10 Best Beaches In The World and 10 Bizarre Things That Washed Up On Beaches.\n10 Real-Life Places Ripped Straight Out Of Science Fiction\n10 Bizarre Theme Parks From Around the World",

        "raw_content": "Blogger Interview Saturday: Krista\u2019s Dust Jacket\nFebruary 16, 2013\tLola\tBlogger Interview\t2\nEvery Saturday I interview a blogger. This week I interview Krista from the blog Krista\u2019s Dust JACKet.\nIt goes without saying that I read a lot. Many times after finishing a book, I want nothing more than to talk to someone about it. I have all these thoughts and theories and usually some serious venting to do. But there is almost no one in real life who has read the same books as I. And, what fun is complaining about characters and stories to someone who has no idea what you\u2019re talking about? So, I started my blog, Krista\u2019s Dust Jacket, as an outlet \u2013 a way to purge my brain of all my thoughts about the books I read. It\u2019s been very cathartic.\nHow did you come up with the name for your blog, The Dust Jacket?\nJ-A-C-K are the first initials of the members of my little family. When I had to think of a name for my new blog, I tried to think of a book related word with \u201cjack\u201d in it. My family is important to me, and I try to always remember them in everything I do.\nI just celebrated my first blogoversary on January 2, 2013!\nThe part I enjoy the most is connecting with others who share the same love of books that I do. When I started this blog, I had no idea there was such a large book blogging community out there. I just wanted an outlet to regurgitate my bookish thoughts. But, as I started writing and exploring other blogs, I started learning about so many books that I should be reading, conversations I should be having, people I should be meeting. It\u2019s been a fun ride.\nI swore in the beginning of all this that the number of followers, pageviews, etc. didn\u2019t matter to me. I was doing this to talk about books and to write. That\u2019s it. But, honestly, it\u2019s nearly impossible to NOT care about those things. And that stresses me out sometimes.\nI have a secondary love of photography. The background picture on my blog at present was taken by me. I believe it\u2019s one of my Harry Potter books, actually. After a year of looking at the same design, though, I have grown tired of it, and I do plan a new design sometime in the next month or two.\nI noticed that some of your posts have a number before the book title, like book #141: Scent of Magic, but others don\u2019t. Can you explain why some of your book reviews are numbered and others not?\nThe first year of my blog, I set out to write about every book I read, in the order that I read them. To keep track of where I was at, I numbered my review posts. Now that I\u2019m past my first year, I don\u2019t feel as if I need to keep track of the books I read in order any longer. I\u2019m going to write about books on a more flexible schedule, interspersing my review posts with memes, giveaways and other fun things.\nThanks Krista for the interview!\nAbsolutely, Lolita! And good luck on your new blog this year!\nYou can find Krista and her blog here:\n2 Responses to \u201cBlogger Interview Saturday: Krista\u2019s Dust Jacket\u201d\nThanks so much for the interview Lolita! It was a lot of fun to do.\nI really enjoyed the interview! Thanks for being willing to get interviewed!",

The key characters, or elements in the stories are sprites, which participants may construct for themselves as puppets they can animate, or masks they can wear.\nOr they may make sprites as graphic images on paper with adhesive backing that they can stick on pages in story books.\nSprites can be created from scratch, using a variety of materials, or they can be extracted from audiovisual media, including photographs taken by the participants themselves.\nEach sprite is grounded in a particular context (both real and imagined) of specific interest to the person who creates it. A sprite gains its identity through its creator's imagination in terms of where and how that sprite might live in that context. It gains specific characteristics, initially specified by its creator, that can be extended by other participants.\nThese characteristics indicate the kind of character that the sprite can play in a story - often voyaging far beyond the specific context where it originated. They inform how it will think and behave in the context of an audiovisual production such as a picture book, movie, shadow-puppet performance, or whatever.\nParticipants in Spritivity workshops can work together to create a story where the sprites that they, collectively, have created are the main players, mise-en-scene according to the context of the story, and its development\nClick here to see a video case study of how this was done by English and Chinese students at primary school level\nClick here to explore more details about this case study\nIt is possible to ground sprites in an abstract concept like \"symmetry\" in mathematics or the \"golden ratio\" in architectural design. The set of real and imagined contexts in which participants in a spritivity workshop ground their sprites are then particular instantiations of this abstract concept in the world that the workshop participants inhabit. They can be represented graphically, through photographs,posters, etc made by the participants, as can the sprites that they create within them.\nClick here to explore how this concept grounding process worked for Chinese and English students at secondary school level\nSprites can also be grounded in ideas located in workshop participants' minds. For instance, they can construct personal labyrinths and ground the srpites they create within the labyrinth.\nClick here to explore how this process worked for MSc Students at LSE participating in a Spritivity Workshop on Project Dreams and Reality.\nClick here to see how this process worked for disadvantaged girls participating in a Spritivity workshop in Mysore, India",

He sniffed, and rubbed his eyes. Then he put his hands on his head.\n\"Howie, are you okay?\" A.J. asked concerned.\n\"Well, actually, ever since last night, I haven't been feeling the greatest. My head hurts a lot. I think that it might have been something I ate yesterday.\" He put his hand on his stomach. \"My stomach has been bothering me too. I think I'm sick.\" Cassie rubbed his shoudlers.\n\"Don't worry, I'll take care of you, so you'll get better very soon.\" She went to kiss him, when he sneezed again. \"Maybe you should go and lie down...\" Cassie helped him up, and lead him to an empty bedroom.\n\"I hope Howie isn't that sick, becuase if he is, we can't go out until he's better. We all wanted to spend time with you guys together for the next few days. If Howie is sick, I don't want to leave him here all alone, while we go out and have fun.\" Kevin said.\n\"I don't mind staying here. As long as I'm spending time with you, it doesn't matter where we are.\" Caroline said, hugging onto Kevin's arm.\nCassie came back out of the room.\n\"He has a fever, and he's already asleep. I don't think he's going to be up going out for the next few days.\" Cassie said, ploping down on the couch, picking up the remote at the same time. She flicked the channel, and started to watch some music videos.\n\"So I guess it's settled then. We're going to spend the next few days here, in the hotel. At least we don't have to worry about our fans...\" A.J. said. Everyone joined Cassie on the couch, and they all watched the music channel. While in the middle of the video \"All My Life\" by Ka-ci and Jojo, Brian and Amanda came out from the bathroom. Both of them were soaked, and everyone was staring at them.\n\"What?!?\" Amanda said defensivly.\n\"Oh, nothing. Nothing at all...\" Christine said, staring at the two of them, trying not to laugh.\n\"What happend to you two? Did a pipe break in there or something?\" A.J. joked.\n\"Ha ha, very funny...\" Brian grabbed Amanda's hand, and lead her into the other bedroom.\n\"Don't get the bed wet!!! I'm the one sleeping there tonight!\" Christine yelled as Brian slamed the door shut. Everyone laughed at the two of them, and went back to watching t.v.\nNick had given Lisa a pair of pants, and a small undershirt that he had. She picked up one of his many hats that he had on tour with him, and fixed it to her head size, and put it on. She tilted it to the aide a bit.\n\"What do you think?\" She said with her arms open. She looked (in my personal words, since I love the big pants small shirt style) wicked.\n\"Hey, you look pretty good.\" Nick said. Lisa walked on over to him, and wrapped her arms around him. She pulled his head down to her lips, and she whisper in his ear.\n\"Your clothes almost look better on me...\" She said, then she ran away from him. Nick started to chase her around the room, and he finally caught up to her, and he pinned her down on the couch. She giggled a bit, but then she stoped. She fell into a trance staring in his eyes.\n\"You've got the sexiest eyes I have ever seen in my life...\" She said to him, running her hands through his hair. She pulled his face to hers, and she kissed him. Then she got up.\n\"Come on, the others are proboly waiting... Let's go back.\" She helped Nick off the couch, who was whimpering and trying to convince Lisa to saty, but she ignored him and the two of them went back to the girls room.\nWhen Nick and Lisa arrived, everyone was sitting around on the couch, looking like a bunch of bums.\n\"Why's everyone sitting down?\" Lisa asked. Kevin went into explaining everything to her and Nick, and about how they had to spend the next few days stuck in the hotel.\nThe rest of the day was spent doing nothing what-so-ever. The mostly just talked, and every now and then, a couple would go off into a corne, to get away from the rest of the gang.

        "title": "WALK IN WISDOM - Mabelvale Church of Christ",
        "raw_content": "The Apostle Paul wrote, \u201cWalk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time\u201d (Colossians 4:5). These inspired words place a great responsibility upon the Christian to live in manner that brings glory to Christ before those who are without Christ. Jesus had previously said, \u201cLet your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven\u201d (Matthew 5:16). What are some of the practical implications for the Christian to \u201cwalk in wisdom\u201d?\nFirst, Christians are to \u201cwalk in wisdom\u201d so that Christianity will be seen as genuine and credible before the world. The world does not know and understand the truth and most often the first introduction to it is coming in contact with one who is a Christian. Christians walk carelessly before the world by living immorally, cursing and swearing, having an explosive temper, or simply being rude and arrogant toward another and will have no positive influence for Christ.\nSecond, Christians are to \u201cwalk in wisdom\u201d so as to lead one to Christ. Jesus said, \u201cGo into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature\u201d (Mark 16:15). Jesus\u2019 words set in motion the responsibility that the church in general has as well as individual Christians. How difficult this process becomes when the local congregation or individuals within the congregation are trying to teach the gospel to those \u201cwho are outside\u201d and Christians do not \u201cwalk in wisdom\u201d.\nThird, Christians are to \u201cwalk in wisdom\u201d in order to be able to give an answer about the truth to those \u201cwho are outside\u201d. Paul goes on to write, \u201cLet your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you out to answer each one\u201d (Colossians 4:6). What if you get into a discussion with a friend, neighbor or coworker about biblical things and yet you do not \u201cwalk in wisdom toward those who are outside\u201d? How difficult will it be to convince one that you have the truth, but in front of them you are not living it? Another aspect of this verse is that the goal is not simply to win an argument, but the goal is to win a soul to Christ. Consideration for the soul and eternal destiny of the other person will cause the Christian to calculate carefully his / her words and the manner in which things are said. The power is in the gospel (Romans 1:16, 10:17) and the Christian must live and speak so as not to hinder that power.\nFourth, Christians are to \u201cwalk in wisdom\u201d by \u201credeeming the time\u201d. This simply means that the Christian will make every effort to make wise use of his / her time. This should not be taken to mean that there is no time for rest or relaxation in the life of the Christian, but the context speaks with reference to how we life before those who are not Christians. We should never let our guard down in that respect because when we do we are not using our time wisely. Every moment can be a teachable moment when the Christian is with one who is outside of Christ. Let us walk in wisdom.",

        "raw_content": "Argentina, Britain, Football, New York, Sustainable Economy, Thatcher\nIt was only during a trip to Argentina a few years ago that I came to fully realize the import, in both Argentina and Britain, of the 1982 mini-war over the Falkland Islands in the south Atlantic. The war is still a raw and recent sore for Argentina and a (mostly) proud moment of triumph for what is left of a empire that once never saw the sun set.\nThe Argentine invasion of the sparely populated, wind-blown and British controlled islands came at a low point of then-Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher\u2019s popularity. But, in the wake of the Argentine aggression, when Thatcher summoned her best Winston Churchill and vowed to retake one of the last remaining outposts of the British Empire her stock began to rise and she truly became the Iron Lady of late 20th Century history.\nLady Thatcher\u2019s death at age 87 will set off a wave of analysis about her role in world affairs, her relationship with Ronald Reagan, who she once called the \u201csecond most important man in my life,\u201d and her political legacy. The final chapter on Thatcher \u2013 \u201csteely resolve\u201d is the favorite description today \u2013 will not be written for another decade or more as Great Britain, under the current Tory government, sorts out its place in Europe and the world, but this much can be said \u2013 she was, in the spirit of that great British term, a \u201cone-off,\u201d a tough, demanding, outspoken conservative woman who played politics with sharp elbows and a biting sense of humor. And she often played her role better than the men around her.\nOne can only speculate that the military junta who ruled Argentina in 1982 never in its wildest dreams believed that an economically troubled Britain so far removed from the islands they call the Malvinas and led, of all things, by a woman would actually resort to force to retake a little patch of rocky soil. Channeling Churchill and vowing not to let aggression stand, Thatcher assembled a War Cabinet, which she dominated, and deployed the British fleet and the Royal Marines. Thatcher\u2019s Royal Navy, for good measure, sunk an Argentine battle cruiser after it had been well established that the generals in Buenos Aires where simply no match for the Lady at 10 Downing Street. The same could later be said for the old men trying to hang on to power in Moscow. Thatcher\u2019s legacy certainly must also include a chapter on her role in defending democratic aspirations in eastern Europe, particularly Poland.\nOne of the best and most even handed assessments of Thatcher came today from Richard Carr a British political scientist and historian of British Conservative politics: \u201cTo supporters, she changed Britain from a nation in long-term industrial decline to an energetic, dynamic economy. To opponents, she entrenched inequalities between the regions and classes and placed the free market above all other concerns. Our politics, and many of our politicians, have been forged in her legacy.\u201d That last sentence may best describe her real importance. Every British politician today has to reckon with Thatcher, just as every American politician must reckon with FDR, JFK and Reagan.\nLike her friend Ronnie, the \u201cB\u201d movie actor from humble origins who became a transformative president, Thatcher, the daughter of a grocery shopkeeper who fought her way to the very top of British politics, helped define an era. As the Washington Post pointed out Thatcher modernized British politics to such a degree that future Labor Prime Minister Tony Blair adopted many of her policies and approaches.\n\u201cWhile unapologetically advancing what she considered the Victorian values that made Britain great, Mrs. Thatcher thoroughly modernized British politics, deploying ad agencies and large sums of money to advance her party\u2019s standing,\u201d the Post wrote today. \u201cThe Iron Lady, as she was dubbed, was credited with converting a spent Conservative Party from an old boys club into an electoral powerhouse identified with middle-class strivers, investors and entrepreneurs.\u201d Thatcher\u2019s was the kind of re-invention of the British Conservative Party in the late 1970\u2019s and 1980\u2019s that some American Republicans only dream about for their party today.\nThatcher once said she never expected to see a woman as British Prime Minister, but it is a testament to her and her political party \u2013 mostly her \u2013 that she seized the chance when she got it and played her hand skillfully for 11 powerful years on the world stage. At her death there will be the inevitable comparisons with \u201cthe iron lady\u201d of American politics Hillary Clinton, but in many ways the comparisons really don\u2019t work. Sure, both women are tough and in many respects were tried by fire, but after those similarities the comparison breaks down.\nThatcher was old school. She beat the boys at their own game. She may have been carrying a handbag, but when she swung that bag she aimed for someone\u2019s head. She was also unabashedly full of convictions and understood power. \u201cBeing powerful is like being a lady,\u201d she once said. \u201cIf you have to tell people you are, you aren\u2019t.\u201d\u2018\nIs hard to envision The Iron Lady \u2013 she once famously told a Tory Party conference \u201cYou turn if you want to. The lady\u2019s not for turning\u201d \u2013 making a YouTube video to announce a change in her position on same sex marriage. Thatcher was a true conviction politician, while Clinton seems to be falling into the same trap that ultimately doomed her presidential candidacy in 2008. She allows her handlers \u2013 Thatcher, by contrast, did the handling \u2013 to consistently portray her not as a leader of deep and important conviction, but as a woman of destiny, the first female American president who will get there as an inevitable fact of history.\nClinton may eventually find, as Maureen Dowd wrote recently in the New York Times, that she can learn new tricks and not merely be inevitable, but also necessary. \u201cEven top Democrats who plan to support Hillary worry about her two sides,\u201d Dowd wrote. \u201cOne side is the idealistic public servant who wants to make the world a better place. The other side is darker, stemming from old insecurities; this is the side that causes her to make decisions from a place of fear and to second-guess herself. It dulls her sense of ethics and leads to ends-justify-the-means wayward ways. This is the side that compels her to do anything to win, like hiring the scummy strategists Dick Morris and Mark Penn, and greedily grab for what she feels she deserves.\u201d\u2018\nThere is, of course, nothing inevitable in history and acting on fear is never a winning strategy. Political leaders respond to events, as Thatcher did in the Falklands and to the Cold War in Europe, and either make their mark or are swept along by events they cannot figure out how to control. Thatcher left marks.\nAs Michael Hirsh points out in a piece at The Atlantic website, no one ever wondered \u2013 for good or bad \u2013 where Thatcher was coming down on an issue and, as a result, \u201cshe became the first female leader of her country, and she did it in such a determined way that her sex was almost an afterthought.\u201d Put another way, Thatcher was a genuine transformational world figure by strength of conviction and by raw political skill. Nothing inevitable about that.\nIf Clinton does something similar she may some day have a chance to join the real Iron Lady in the history books. Today, however, there is only one female political leader \u2013 at least in the western political world \u2013 whose place in those history books is secure.\nBooks, Football, Kramer, Sanders\nMy Call from No. 15\nA guest post today from my Gallatin colleague Randy Simon.\nAt this point in my life I like and appreciate my morning office routine. I turn on the computer, fix a cup of coffee and check the daily headlines before tackling the day\u2019s tasks. Call me a creature of habit, but I typically don\u2019t like early morning surprises unless of course they involve getting a phone call from Green Bay Packer legend Bart Starr.\nWhich is exactly what happened today.\nHalfway through my coffee and the phone rings showing a 205 area code. Like most people I\u2019m hesitant to answer an unfamiliar number, but this time I\u2019m glad I did.\n\u201cThis is Randy\u201d\n\u201cHi Randy, its Maggie from Bart Starr\u2019s office. Bart would like to speak with you.\u201d\n\u201cUm, err, yeah, I mean yes, that would be great.\u201d\n\u201cHi Randy its Bart Starr, how are you?\u201d\nAt this point I wanted to say, \u201cAre you kidding me? Bart Starr? The guy who was the MVP of the first two Super Bowls and arguably the most recognizable quarterback in the history of the NFL. I\u2019m great! In fact I\u2019m awesome now that I\u2019m talking to you,\u201d but I managed instead to squeak out, \u201cI\u2019m well Mr. Starr, how are you?\u201d\n\u201cCall me Bart. Mr. Starr is too formal.\u201d\nWhat ensued was an incredible 15 minute conversation with an NFL legend and Hall of Famer, who at 78, is still on top of his game.\nFor the past few months we\u2019ve been working with Alicia Kramer to help her dad, Jerry Kramer, another Packer legend receive what is well over due \u2013 induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Marc Johnson, who usually writes in this space, wrote a convincing piece recently about why Kramer is so deserving of Hall of Fame recognition.\nAs part of our effort to secure support for Jerry, I had recently sent Bart a letter asking for his endorsement. I never expected a phone call, but was happy to hear that Bart has been sending letters to the Hall of Fame voters for several years endorsing Kramer\u2019s nomination. Like us, Bart still can\u2019t believe Kramer has not been inducted \u2013 and he should know. Bart had the best seat in the house to watch Kramer leading the way on those famous \u201cPacker Sweeps.\u201d\nBart is still an icon and continues doing things the right way. To this day, if you donate any amount of money, no matter how small the amount to his charity Rawhide Boys Ranch, he will sign the memorabilia you send him and pay the postage to return it to you.\nNow, he\u2019s repaying Kramer and backing a teammate who had his back for so many years. It\u2019s a conversation I will never forget.\nI wish everyday started this way.\nBy the way, you can support the Kramer to the Hall effort by sending your own Bart Starr-like endorsement to:\nAttn: Nominations\n2121 George Halas Drive N.W.\nTime to Right a Wrong\nForty-three years ago this past Tuesday, the Green Bay Packers issued a terse statement that began with these words: \u201cGuard and author Jerry Kramer announces his retirement after an 11-year career that stretches back to 1958.\u201d\nKramer, just 33 years old, had compiled an outstanding career in his slightly more than a decade on some of the most storied professional football teams in the history of the National Football League. Of course, he\u2019s in the Green Bay Hall of Fame. Kramer was also a perennial All-Pro and Pro-Bowl selection, won the 1962 NFL title game by kicking a field goal, and greased the skids on the famous Packer sweep with the kind of speed and agility \u2013 Kramer played at 245 pounds \u2013 that is rarely matched by any offensive lineman, then or now.\nIf you don\u2019t believe me look at some of the old film of Number 64 pulling from his right guard position and outrunning a Jim Taylor, a Donny Anderson or Paul Hornung to get in position to put a staggering hit on an opposing linebacker or cornerback. The legendary Vince Lombardi ran an offense based on a limited number of plays and he expected flawless execution every time, particularly when it came to the thundering Packer sweep. Lombardi considered Kramer the best of his generation as his position.\nJerry Kramer, for perhaps a variety of reasons, none of which withstand analysis, has not been voted into the NFL Hall of Fame in the 43 years since he hung up his pads. He deserves it. His time has come and, in fact, is way past due.\nKramer is the only player named to the NFL\u2019s 50th anniversary team not in the Hall. Forty-nine other guys made the cut. For some reason he hasn\u2019t. NFL films consider him the Number 1 player not in the Hall. Good enough for me, yet perhaps the most powerful evidence that Jerry Kramer\u2019s gridiron greatness has slipped through the Hall of Fame cracks is contained in the endorsements the 76-year old Montana native, Sandpoint, Idaho High School grad and University of Idaho Vandal has received from his peers. The guys who know Kramer\u2019s gifts the best, who played across the line from him, who tried to knock him on his backside, think he is clearly a Hall of Famer.\nGino Marchetti was as good as anyone who ever played defense in the NFL. In his 13 years with the old Dallas Texans and then the Baltimore Colts he was year-after-year a consensus All-Pro. Gino was voted into the Hall in 1972 and thinks Kramer should be there, too.\n\u201cI was truly shocked,\u201d Marchetti wrote recently, \u201cto find that Jerry was not a member of the NFL Hall of Fame. I know personally that there was no one better at his position.\u201d\nFrank Gifford, Roger Staubach, Alan Page, Chuck Bednarik, Paul Hornung, Bob Lilly, Doug Atkins, Bob Schmidt, Bob St. Clair, Willie Davis, Raymond Berry and Larry Csonka \u2013 Hall of Famers every one \u2013 say the same thing.\nBefore his tragic death in 2011, Hall of Fame tight end John Mackey said of Kramer, \u201cWe who played with him in pro bowls and against him during our careers vote 100% for Jerry to join us in the Hall.\u201d\nAthletes normally do not easily praise the virtues of their opponents 30 or 40 years after the battles are over. That so many of Kramer\u2019s peers, Hall of Famers themselves, speak so highly of his talents is an astounding testament to his greatness. That alone should be enough to lift him into the Hall.\nThere are three theories about why Kramer hasn\u2019t received the call to Canton, Ohio the home of the NFL Hall of Fame. One theory says he had the misfortunate to play on the great Lombardi Packer teams with so many other Hall of Famers. Those great Packer teams of the 1960\u2019s won three straight titles, five overall and the first two Super Bowls. They were great and richly blessed teams, but saying that a great player like Kramer should suffer because he happened to play on a team with a locker room full of great players is like saying Beethoven only wrote nine symphonies, while Mozart wrote 41 and therefore they can\u2019t both be considered great. Poppycock.\nThe Lombardi era was great because the great coach found, developed and then got the most out of a team of superb players, including Kramer. The theory that there are too many Packers from this era already in the Hall is bogus. In a place where only accomplishment should matter, there is room for a Mozart, a Beethoven\u2026and a Brahms.\nThe second theory holds that the football writers who vote on Hall of Fame matters are of a sufficiently younger generation that they just don\u2019t know enough about Kramer\u2019s playing days and therefore they discount a guy who has been nominated several times in the past. But not knowing isn\u2019t right.\nBaseball writers finally got around to selecting the worthy Orlando Cepeda for the baseball Hall of Fame in 1999. Cepeda quit playing 25 years before. A careful review of Kramer\u2019s career by the current selection panel will show, beyond a doubt, that his career is worthy. Cepeda waited for a quarter century, Kramer has been shut out for more than 40 years. It\u2019s time.\nFinally, in a perverse way it\u2019s been suggested by some that Kramer the author \u2013 his best seller Instant Replay is still one of the best sports books ever \u2013 hurt his Hall of Fame chances because of his candid take on what life was \u2013 or may still be \u2013 inside the NFL. If there is any truth to this theory it too is poppycock. Kramer was not only a rugged, physical, smart football player, he happens to write well, even elegantly, and his keen observations on Lombardi, his teammates, the media and football showcase that he was far from a one dimensional pulling guard. Kramer\u2019s substantial literary accomplishments are just frosting on this offensive lineman\u2019s career cake.\nThe latest effort to Get Kramer to the Hall isn\u2019t the work of Jerry Kramer. He has said he\u2019s often introduced as a Hall of Famer and he\u2019s quit correcting the record simply because so many people think a guy with his credentials must just automatically be were the greats go to be remembered. He\u2019s not losing sleep over the snub and his ego is in check. Kramer isn\u2019t a guy to live in the past even though his stories about Lombardi and the Green Bay dynasty are still the stuff of football legend.\nNo, the effort to get Kramer his due has been spearheaded by his daughter with a little volunteer help from my firm and a whole bunch of people who like the big guy and feel like getting his plaque up on the wall in Canton would amount to one of the world\u2019s little wrongs made right. The University of Idaho joined the parade this week.\nIn the whole scheme of things securing a moment of Hall of Fame recognition for an old football player hardly ranks with world peace or a cure for cancer on the list of society\u2019s great causes. But recognition, especially when it is so obviously deserved and truly does reflect the enduring importance of excellence, is never a minor matter whether you\u2019re talking art, literature, science or sport.\nThe Oscars wouldn\u2019t be complete if Jimmy Stewart hadn\u2019t gotten one. Steinbeck and Hemingway and Faulkner got their Nobel Prizes for literature. Heck, Philo T. Farnsworth, the inventor of television, has a statue in the U.S. Capitol.\nIdaho\u2019s and Green Bay\u2019s Jerry Kramer performed on a different, grassy stage. His science was speed and finesse, his art courage and determination. Kramer used all those skills when he popped the most famous block in football history in 1967, opening a hole for Bart Starr to leap into the frozen end zone at Lambeau Field and beat the Dallas Cowboys. They\u2019ve always called that game The Ice Bowl. It was 13 below zero at game time. Kramer will tell you it was a great team effort that did in the Cowboys on that bitter cold last day of the year and, of course, it was a team effort, but only one guy made the critical block.\nIt\u2019s time now \u2013 past time \u2013 that the guy who iced that memorable victory, just one of his many greatest moments, had a chance to ice the champagne. Kramer needs to be in the Hall of Fame and when he is the football gods will smile because those gods know what\u2019s right and this is right.\nYou can support The Get Kramer to the Hall effort by writing to the nominating committee on Jerry\u2019s behalf. The address is:\n2121 George Halas Drive, NW;\nAir Travel, Baseball, Books, Britain, Brother, Football, Johnson, Politics, Reagan, Religion\nRobert Caro, Jerry Kramer and More\nThere is a fascinating piece planned for publication Sunday, and already online, in The New York Times on legendary Lyndon Johnson biographer Robert Caro. Caro is about to release volume four of his projected five volume bio of LBJ. To date he has produced 3,388 fascinating pages.\nCaro\u2019s work is one of the greatest studies ever of the accumulation and use of political power. The piece also has great insights into the author\u2019s methods, which could properly be described as \u201cold school.\u201d He dresses for work every day in jacket and tie, for example. Great piece.\nNorthwest Nazarene University political scientist Steve Shaw and one of his colleagues, English Department Chair Darrin Grinder, have just released an important new book that I highly recommend. The Idaho Statesman\u2019s Dan Popkey wrote about the book \u2013 \u201cThe Presidents and Their Faith\u201d \u2013 earlier this week. From Jefferson\u2019s own version of the Gospels to Woodrow Wilson\u2019s Presbyterian minister father to Richard Nixon\u2019s Quaker roots, Shaw and Grinder give us wonderful mini-portraits of 43 presidents and their personal and political faith. With so much talk of politics and religion, the book couldn\u2019t be timelier. Highly recommended.\nInsightful piece in The Atlantic by staff writer Conor Friedersdorf that explains why national Republicans have spent 20 years searching for the next Ronald Reagan and haven\u2019t found him.\n\u201cToday, would be Reagans with less charisma, less executive experience and less time spent honing their thinking and communication skills are somehow expecting to succeed even as they operate in a less advantageous political environment. Of course it isn\u2019t happening. And it\u2019s no wonder conservatives are divided in who they support.\u201d\nAnd finally, I am very aware (and happy) that baseball is back in action. My Giants open today in the city by the bay. But, the best sports book I\u2019ve read in a while is an older book, published in 1968, Instant Replay by Green Bay Packer great and University of Idaho grad Jerry Kramer. The New York Times called Kramer\u2019s book the \u201cbest behind the scene glimpse of pro football ever produced.\u201d\nSome think the book\u2019s candor has contributed to Kramer being passed over for the NFL Hall of Fame. If so, that\u2019s ridiculous. Kramer is the most deserving NFL player not in the Hall and that oversight, at long last, should be corrected. Get a copy of the book and read it. It\u2019s great.\nBooks, Football\nThere is an old story about the very last in a long, long list of speakers at one of those interminable political dinners that go on and on into the wee hours. This last guy finally gets his chance to stand before the crowd and all he can think to say is that \u201ceverything that can be said has been said, it\u2019s just that not everyone has said it.\u201d\nI feel that way about the Penn State scandal. It seems like this story, and the commentary about it, has been with us for a year rather than a little more than a week. Maybe it\u2019s all been said, but here goes.\nThere is much tragedy here; indeed almost Shakespearean in its scope. The young men abused and likely marked for life by their ordeal. The legendary coach brought low because of his inattention or something worse. The public institution in the glare of intense national attention struggling to right itself. The appalling violence by students reacting to the news that Coach Joe Paterno had been sacked. The palpable sense that Paterno stayed too long and could have with a few words and even fewer actions taken greater responsibility or perhaps have even prevented a tragedy.\nAmerican football fans \u2013 and I\u2019m one, occasionally \u2013 love the mythology of the college game. \u201cStudent-athletes\u201d giving their all for old State U, the stern college coach \u2013 think Rockne or Bryant \u2013 giving the inspirational half-time speech, the cheerleaders, the spectacle, the perfect Saturday afternoon in the fall. But, increasingly those myths seem like shiny Hollywood gloss on the NCAA football story. The historian Taylor Branch\u2019s recent investigation of college football highlights many of the problems and in light of the Penn State story deserves to be read as a forecast of more troubles to come.\nThe lessons from the Penn State story are many and none very good. It\u2019s said that Paterno, the Ivy Leaguer, with his decades of football success, helped drag Penn State from a dumpy state school to a legitimate research university. That might even be true, but it begs the question of just what events emanating from Happy Valley over the last 10 days have anything to do with higher education?\nCollege football at the Penn State level is pure and simple about the money. Paterno\u2019s program earns $50 million annually for the college. Joe Pa is Penn State football and he rode the juggernaut all the way to a grand jury.\nSeems to me the key thing to watch in the next few days is whether fundamentally anything changes at Penn State \u2013 or elsewhere in college football \u2013 as a result of the child abuse scandal. Great universities are supposed to be places of exploration, discovery, renewal and reflection. Time is wasting on any and all of that at Penn State. In this case, actions really will speak louder than words.\nA real statement of Penn State\u2019s values would have been to dedicate the revenue from the school\u2019s last three games to a child abuse prevention or counseling program. The school could announce today, as Joe Nocera and others have suggested, that it won\u2019t participate in a bowl or championship game this year and then cancel the entire 2012 season in order to review \u2013 top to bottom, side to side \u2013 what it wants from its intercollegiate sports programs.\nIf Penn State wants to reclaim it \u201ccore values\u201d as its acting president has said over and over again, then it needs to stop, assess, look back and reflect.\nUltimately a former assistant coach will likely be held to account for his alleged crimes, but a higher education institution built on a foundation of the myths of the college game must do more, much more, to reclaim its soul.\nBooks, Football, Higher Education, Iran\nCollege Football\u2026the Case for Reform\nTaylor Branch is a serious historian, a man who has made his considerable reputation as perhaps the most important historian of the civil rights movement. Branch\u2019s superb Parting the Waters: America in the King Years, 1954-1963 deservedly won the Pulitzer Prize and it is just about the best thing in print on the politics, history and turmoil that roiled the country as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. pulled America forward, forcing us to confront our racist past and our unequal present.\nBranch is an outstanding reporter and he has now turned his impressive investigative and analytical skills to the business of college football. His story \u2013 the cover piece in the current Atlantic \u2013 is an absolute must read for any fan, any skeptic, anyone who even occasionally wonders what big time college football has to do with big time higher education.\nThe Columbia Journalism Review said, \u201cTaylor Branch\u2019s cover story in the new Atlantic is a devastating indictment of the NCAA\u2026a superb synthesis of the history of the NCAA, the hypocrisy of keeping athletes from getting paid while the commercialization of college sports (football and basketball, that is) runs amok, and why a reckoning may be in store.\u201d\nFrank Deford, who has long lamented the crass commercialism of college athletics, devoted his recent NPR commentary to Branch\u2019s article that he called \u201cthe most important article ever written about college sports.\u201d\nI read Branch\u2019s piece last week and came away with that once-in-a-while feeling that you have just read something really important, truly insightful and that you really learned a thing or two. His distillation of the history of the NCAA is simply fascinating. His insights into the business of big-time college football should be enough to make any big corporate sponsor blush. His characterizations of the scandals rippling through the game should make every college president in America queasy. But, since we\u2019re really talking money and hypocrisy here, it will take something more than Ohio State firing a football coach or Boise State sacking an athletic director, to reform this system. It will happen, Taylor Branch forecasts, in a courtroom. He make a very compelling case.\nBranch\u2019s fundamental indictment of college football rests to two pillars: the NCAA is today, and long has been, a corrupt \u201ccartel\u201d determined to control as much of college athletics as it possibly can and that the so-called \u201cstudent-athlete\u201d is a fiction dreamed up by a long line of NCAA leaders who were determined to treat young athletes as indentured servants, while college coaches and the institutions themselves are enriched beyond the wildest dreams of most of the young men who labor for free.\nAs Branch says: \u201cThe term student-athlete was deliberately ambiguous. College players were not students at play (which might understate their athletic obligations), nor were they just athletes in college (which might imply they were professionals). That they were high-performance athletes meant they could be forgiven for not meeting the academic standards of their peers; that they were students meant they did not have to be compensated, ever, for anything more than the cost of their studies. Student-athlete became the NCAA\u2019s signature term, repeated constantly in and out of courtrooms.\u201d\nHe goes on to recount, in painful detail, stories where \u201cstudent-athletes\u201d have been seriously injured playing for respected colleges only to lose appeals that they be granted the basic protections of worker compensation laws.\n\u201cThe NCAA today is in many ways a classic cartel,\u201d Branch writes. \u201cEfforts to reform it\u2014most notably by the three Knight Commissions over the course of 20 years\u2014have, while making changes around the edges, been largely fruitless. The time has come for a major overhaul. And whether the powers that be like it or not, big changes are coming. Threats loom on multiple fronts: in Congress, the courts, breakaway athletic conferences, student rebellion, and public disgust. Swaddled in gauzy clich\u00e9s, the NCAA presides over a vast, teetering glory.\u201d\nIn 1939, Robert Maynard Hutchins, then the young president of the University of Chicago, did what a college president would likely get tarred and feathered for today \u2013 he dropped football. Hutchins famously said, \u201cTo be successful, one must cheat. Everyone is cheating, and I refuse to cheat.\u201d\nHutchins confronted the fundamental question: just what does ultra expensive college football, complete with lucrative sponsorship deals, high rolling boosters who play by high rolling rules and inevitable scandal have to do with education, scholarship and research. Hutchins answer was just as valid in 1939 as it is today \u2013 nothing.\nSince reading Taylor Branch\u2019s piece, I\u2019ve read to other pieces of reporting on college football that strangely make his fundamental point in vastly different ways. The University of Chicago, Maynard Hutchins long in the grave, resurrected its football program thirty years after it was eliminated.\nAs the New York Times noted recently, \u201cIn 1969, football returned as a varsity sport, oddly enough during the Vietnam War era when many rebellious students were comparing blocking and tackling to bombing and strafing.\n\u201cSince then, the game has been thriving on its own measured terms in N.C.A.A. Division III, free of the highest level of competition. Winning is a preference and not an obsession. Players, though zealously recruited, are not given athletic scholarships. Championships are won but little noticed.\n\u201cChicago presents its own kind of parable: going from all to none before settling on a path in between.\n\u201cWe\u2019re just a teaspoon in a larger sandbox,\u201d said Dick Maloney, the team\u2019s head coach since 1994. \u201cThere are places where football is more like a giant shovel, but I prefer it when everything is kept in perspective.\u201d\nIn a front page piece, the Times also reported on the latest trends in college football uniforms, noting that the University of Maryland has done a deal with edgy gear manufacturer Under Armour to create a series of game jerseys, pants and helmets that the team will surprise fans with every week. Of course, four of the new jerseys are on sale by the college.\nJust to connect the dots, as Branch does in his reporting, while the University of Maryland and dozens of other schools make a bundle on deals to sell college football jerseys and other team goodies, Ohio State University players are serving suspensions and have had four figure fines imposed for selling their own jerseys, rings and awards.\nAs Branch, Deford and others have pointed out, the NCAA never really goes hard after a big time football program. They\u2019re simply afraid that real sanctions to clean up the college football cesspool might force the Ohio State\u2019s and Miami\u2019s to pick up their footballs and unite under a different banner. The NCAA can\u2019t stand that thought. It needs the money. So, the NCAA spends about one percent of its budget on enforcement and typically only gets really snarly with some kid who may have trouble scrapping together the cash to get the oil changed in his car.\nThe University of Chicago\u2019s Hutchins once joked that a student could get twelve letters in college without learning to write even one. Today the University that produced the first Heisman Trophy winner and then abandoned the Big Ten Conference is best known for its 85 Nobel laureates.\nThe entire system of college football \u2013 the organization, the big money, the ruse of the \u201cstudent-athlete\u201d \u2013 is eventually going to come tumbling down. There is truly a scandal here and like almost every scandal its ultimately about money and what the corruption of too much money and too little integrity can do to even the noblest of intentions.\nBooks, Cenarrusa, Football, Idaho\nSpud Bowl\nBring on the Sour Cream\nLet\u2019s get this out of the way right off the top: there is no better potato in the world than the Idaho potato. World class. Dependable quality. The tuber gold standard. And the \u201cbrand\u201d is valuable.\nYears ago some enterprising fellow in New Mexico got the bright idea of importing potato sacks with the \u201cGrown in Idaho\u201d mark and filling them with spuds grown, of all places, in New Mexico. A stop was put to that pronto. You can\u2019t have an Idaho potato grown in New Mexico. It\u2019s like Champagne. You may call it champagne, but if it ain\u2019t made from grapes grown in the Champagne region of France and bottled there, it isn\u2019t \u201creal\u201d Champagne, it is merely sparkling wine. Same with an Idaho spud.\nSo, given the historic Idaho association with the Famous Potato, it\u2019s a natural, I guess, that the once named Humanitarian Bowl football game is now the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl. But Idahoans best brace themselves. The jokes are just beginning.\nOn Twitter, @TheRobMorse writes: \u201cI\u2019d like to see Chip Kelly coach against Hayden Fry in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl.\u201d And @ParkerShield22 says, \u201cGatorade shower replaced by players spreading butter and sour cream on winning coach and wrapping him in aluminum foil.\u201d You get the idea and, believe me, there are lots more where those came from.\nTo be serious for a moment, the news of the renaming of the bowl should cause Idahoans \u2013 at least those with some responsibility for the state\u2019s \u201cbrand\u201d \u2013 to consider, well, our image. For a state frequently confused with Iowa \u2013 \u201cI was in Des Moines once is that anywhere close to Boise?\u201d \u2013 being almost completely defined by an admittedly superb agricultural product may have some real downside.\nA lot of marketing folks would tell you, Idaho doesn\u2019t have a brand. Maybe the same is true of most states. New Jersey\u2019s brand? Hazardous waste sites and Tony Soprano. Kansas: The Tornado State. Or, North Dakota: You Can See Canada From Here.\nIdaho is Famous Potatoes.\nIt\u2019s a tough time for the state branding business. Washington State recently ended all state-sponsored tourism promotion. USA Today reported this week that at least 20 states have cut back on efforts to lure visitors, which really means they aren\u2019t marketing whatever \u201cbrand\u201d they have.\nNot everyone is throwing in the towel, however. Michigan has been all over the air with its pretty good Pure Michigan campaign. Not bad for a state whose largest city can boast of a good baseball team, and not much else, playing amid years of decay. Montana, a state with a real brand, has big billboards in downtown Seattle and a new tourism promotion chief who has the good sense to market the state\u2019s two iconic National Parks.\nIdaho\u2019s real marketing problem may just be that a state with such a vast collection of individuals will never be able to settle on one image, slogan or brand. Some Idahoans would be comfortable with calling our place \u201cThe Wilderness State,\u201d but that certainly wouldn\u2019t fly with the \u201cno more wilderness crowd.\u201d How about the \u201cState of Big Hearted Rivers?\u201d Nope. Rivers here are for more than floatin\u2019 and fishin\u2019, we use that water to grow, er, potatoes. The no-growth, \u201cI wish it were 1950 again\u201d types might opt for \u201cIdaho \u2013 the tick fever state.\u201d Not a winner with the economic development crowd.\nIdaho: We Know Nuclear. Nope.\nIdaho: Nevada Without the Gambling. Won\u2019t catch on.\nIdaho: Easier than Utah to Get a Drink? Even that isn\u2019t really true any longer.\nIdahoans should just embrace the iconic potato and the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl as the best we got. It\u2019s has put us on the map, or the Internet, after all. Google those words today and you\u2019ll get 1,500,000 hits. It\u2019s not Iowa, yet, but it\u2019s a start and it\u2019s not \u2013 thank your potatoes \u2013 in a class with the Poulan Weed-Eater Bowl.",

The grapes are hand-picked in boxes from 18 to 20 kilograms, clusters are selected, then they are destemmed and after that the best grains are chosen. The must is cold macerated from 5 to 7 days at a temperature from 10\u00b0C to 15\u00b0C. Then it is fermented with selected yeasts in 15,000 liter stainless- steel tanks with delestages and pressings. Once fermentation is finished, the three varieties are separately stored for 12 months in French oak (90%) and American oak (10%) barrels. After completing the ageing process, the final blend is done, and the wine is stabilized, filtered and bottled. It is stored in the winery for a year before market release.\nThese three varieties are aged separately for 12 months in oak barrels, French (90%) and American (10%).\nIt is intense in the nose, with aromas redolent of sweet spices, tobacco, white pepper, blackcurrant liquor and black fruit jam with toasty notes.\nIt is tasty, juicy in the mouth, with long aromatic sweet tannins.\nRuby red wine with garnet shades\nIdeal to pair with lamb stew, spiced chicken and pasta with bolognese sauce.",

        "raw_content": "Interfaith Blood Drive Saturday in McKinleyville\nThe mission of the Blood Center (Northern California Community Blood Bank) is to provide a safe and adequate supply of blood to the patients in Humboldt and Del Norte counties. To do this they need 50 to 60 donors a day.\nDuring the school year they get a lot of donations from HSU, College of the Redwoods and high school students, but during the summer, blood supply levels get critically low.\nOn Saturday, Aug. 17 there will be an Interfaith Blood Drive hosted at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints building at 1660 Heartwood Drive in Mckinleyville.\nOrganizers are urging members of all faiths to support this blood drive or go into the blood center whenever you can. Remember, you are to take no aspirin or anything with aspirin in it for 48 hours before you donate. Donating blood is an easy way to support our community members. We hope all churches will encourage their members to participate.\nThe Blood Center regular hours are from 10 to 6 on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, From 11 to 7 on Wednesdays, and Fridays from 8-4. Whole blood donations can be made on Saturday by appointment.\nThis entry was posted in News and tagged blood, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Bookmark the permalink.\nOne thought on \u201cInterfaith Blood Drive Saturday in McKinleyville\u201d\n\u201cOrganizers are urging members of all faiths\u201d\nIt\u2019s a shame this is a faith-only event. There\u2019s a significant number of \u201cnones,\u201d who are nonreligious, or who are atheists, who could be encouraged to donate blood alongside religious people. Why throw up a barrier where no barrier needs to exist?\nWhile I couldn\u2019t find data on how large this population is in McKinleyville, it\u2019s worth noting that the national average for affiliation with a religious congregation is 50.2%, but in Humboldt County it\u2019s 37.1% (source city-data.com) leading me to believe Humboldt has a higher percentage of nonreligious people than the national average. Twenty percent of all Americans classify themselves as having \u201cno religion\u201d as of 2012 (source: Pew Forum). It seems a minimum 20% of the McKinleyville population is, at least in print, being excluded from this blood drive.",

        "raw_content": "It\u2019s difficult to know, just before the proposed denuclearisation summit between US President Donald Trump and Chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the Democratic People\u2019s Republic of Korea, Kim Jong-un, what might actually happen on Tuesday in Singapore, or even if the meeting will take place, given the capricious nature of the principals involved.\nBoth of the leaders, neither of whom are known for their rationality, mental stability, or intellectual prowess, have in the past backed away from actually holding the meeting. But, finally, it seems as it if might actually occur. Set for Tuesday morning on Sentosa island in Singapore, the fate of large parts of the world hangs in the balance.\nAs the joke goes, the meeting is between two of the most powerful men in their respective hemispheres. One is a dictatorial, political neophyte with no feeling for individual liberty, a capricious approach to the truth and an incredibly stupid haircut. And the other is Kim Jong-un.\nThe meeting is being held at the astonishingly hideous Capella Hotel on Sentosa, an island which was formerly known as \u201cPulau Belakang Mati\u201d, which translates as \u201cisland of death from behind\u201d, a piece of trivia that should give people pause for thought.\nThe island is home to a lot of rich people\u2019s houses, and some golf courses, which could come in handy if the two leaders decide to kick back and play a round or two. Trump has played some 110 rounds of golf so far since his inauguration, but he might be outclassed by Kim, whose father, Kim Il-Sung, first picked up a golf club in 1994 and shot a 38-under par round, that included no fewer than 11 holes in one. (Satisfied with his performance, he reportedly immediately declared his retirement from the sport. And who can blame him?)\nSeveral weeks before this week\u2019s putative meeting, it emerged that Trump, with his flair for jumping on cheap merchandising possibilities (like the \u201cMake America Great Again\u201d baseball caps that are manufactured in China), had issued a commemorative coin featuring the two leaders\u2019 improbably stupid haircuts, available from the White House gift shop for a mere $24.95. There have been no reports on how well they\u2019re selling.\nAnd, if you think it\u2019s odd that the US should strike a medal commemorating a man who has locked up at least 120,000 of his own countrymen in prison camps, perhaps it\u2019s just something that tyrants do? After all, there\u2019s no telling how many Americans \u2013 poor, black and Latin Americans mostly \u2013 that Trump would like to see locked up.\nTrump has come hotfoot from the G7 meeting in Canada, where he arrived late and left early, after crossing swords with the leaders of the free world. It is an oft-noted facet of Trump\u2019s management style that he seems to much prefer dealing with dictators, or at least autocrats \u2013 Putin, Xi Jinping, Duterte, Erdogan \u2013 and is less enamoured of the democratically elected. He called Canada\u2019s Justin Trudeau \u201cdishonest and weak\u201d.\nAt the time of writing, his wife, Melania will not be going with him to Singapore, which is quite understandable. After all, she\u2019s only 48 years old, as opposed to her husband\u2019s 71 years, so she has quite a lot of time to have to live her past misdeeds down after he eventually falls off his perch. And really, would you want to be seen holding one of his tiny hands in public? After all, you never know what they might\u2019ve been grabbing.\nTrump, who apparently has an aversion to reading briefing documents, claimed that he doesn\u2019t need to do much homework before the summit. \u201cI don\u2019t think I have to prepare very much,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s about attitude. It\u2019s about willingness to get things done.\u201d So Trump goes in to the meeting that utterly convinced that his instincts \u2013 his feel for the \u201cart of the deal\u201d \u2013 are always the best guide to action. It is worth noting that his companies have been declared bankrupt six times so far.\nNo one knows enough about Kim to tell what he might really be thinking. But it is undoubtedly true that he has a better grasp of the technicalities of his country\u2019s nuclear program and the geopolitical realities that come with it.\nI, for one, am looking forward to the whole thing.

        "title": "Why move to Singapore?-INSIDE Korea JoongAng Daily",
        "raw_content": "Why move to Singapore?\nPARK HYUN-YOUNG\nThe author is the head of the global economic team of the JoongAng Ilbo.\nLately, I have heard more and more about Singapore. A professor from my college said his son would be teaching at a university in Singapore; a daughter of a friend is studying there; I also heard a rumor that a celebrity couple tried to send their children to a school in Singapore but gave up because of visa issues.\nThe city-state with a population of 5.6 million is not just appealing to Koreans. Last week, Dyson announced it will move its headquarters from a London suburb to Singapore. The news of the relocation of the British appliance maker known for its vacuum cleaners and bladeless fans stirred political and business circles in Britain.\nDyson CEO James Rowan said the company was moving to Asia because of its future. The pricey vacuums and fans are popular in Korean, Chinese and Japanese markets. Last year, more than half of the company\u2019s 6.4 trillion won ($5.75 billion) in revenue came from Asia. The company has manufacturing plants in Malaysia and the Philippines.\nSome say the move is for tax benefits. The highest tax bracket in the Britain is 45 percent, while it is 22 percent in Singapore. Founder James Dyson is 71, and some say he is considering his inheritance. In Britain, inheritance tax is 40 percent, while Singapore does not impose inheritance and transfer taxes.\nStable politics in Singapore also make a friendly environment for businesses. Government policy is transparent and education levels are high. As the administration does not change often, policies remain consistent. Economic commentator Sudhir Thomas Vadaketh argued there is no possibility for nationalists to come into power and suddenly seize company assets. Having English as an official language is also a plus.\nThe most convincing theory is that Dyson chose Singapore to become a global technology company. Dyson is building an electric car plant in Singapore with a plan to mass-produce beginning in 2021. It must have thought it would be advantageous to move to Asia to transform itself from an appliance company to an electric carmaker as semiconductor and battery technologies are more advanced here.\nLabor costs in Singapore are not cheap. The per-capita gross domestic product (GDP) is $57,000, higher than Britain\u2019s $39,000. So, why is Dyson setting up a manufacturing base here? It is simple: The factory won\u2019t be operated by humans. Once artificial intelligence (AI) technology automates factories, labor costs will be less important. Dyson is drawing a picture of the future. The world is no longer a place where jobs can be divided, added or shared.",

        "title": "Getting Clear About Biblical Inerrancy \u2013 Thinking and Believing",
        "raw_content": "If someone asked you to explain what Christians believe about the Bible, what would you say? Would you even know what to say? Christians (especially evangelical Christians) believe that the Bible\u2019s nature is important. But despite their importance, many Christians are underinformed about how these doctrines have been traditionally understood. I doubt that many Christians could give a clear explanation of what Christians have traditionally believed about the Bible.\nThis might not seem like a big deal to you. But this lack of understanding about the nature of the Bible is often damaging to people\u2019s faith. Many people lose their faith because of issues surrounding the Bible reconciling the Bible with science, handling apparent contradictions, and so on. We should get clear, then, on what we believe about the Bible.\nOne of the central evangelical beliefs about the Bible is inerrancy. I think it is a good place to start in trying to understand the Christian view of the Bible. To help explain inerrancy, I\u2019ve often introduced students to Kevin Vanhoozer\u2019s \u201cThe Inerrancy of Scripture\u201d. It\u2019s a short read, and Vanhoozer does a good job of clearly defining and properly qualifying inerrancy.\nWhat is inerrancy? Dr. Vanhoozer defines it as follows:\n\u201cThe inerrancy of Scripture means that Scripture, in the original manuscripts and when interpreted according to the intended sense, speaks truly in all that it affirms.\u201d\nSometimes in the battle over the Bible or over doctrines whose denial we think threaten the status of the Bible, we lose all sense of nuance. But Vanhoozer\u2019s definition is, well, carefully nuanced. For instance, notice that he writes that the Bible is true in what it affirms when it communicates to us. There are parts of the Bible where actions or teachings are presented that are not being affirmed by the Bible. Think of Job\u2019s interlocutors making claims that the Book of Job structurally deny. The Bible is not affirming what Job\u2019s friends are saying, and so inerrancy doesn\u2019t hold that the sayings of Job\u2019s friends are true.\nTwo Important Qualifications\nNotice that Kevin Vanhoozer\u2019s definition builds in two important qualifications. Yes, the Bible is true. Yes, we should defend inerrancy. But we need to be careful in our defense of inerrancy.\nFirst, only the \u201coriginal manuscripts\u201d are inerrant. Inerrancy does not imply that every copy of the Bible is inerrant. Maybe there\u2019s a couple of places where the Bible does not reflect what was originally written. For example, many textual critics do not think that the longer ending of Mark (Mark 16:9-20) was originally in the Gospel of Mark. Maybe Mark\u2019s Gospel ended at 16:8, or perhaps there was a longer ending that was lost. But most agree that the longer ending (verses 9 \u2013 20) wasn\u2019t in the original. The same goes for the woman caught in adultery (John 7:53-8:11). Scholars agree that it probably was not in the original. So the KJV and other, older versions that contained those stories without qualification would not be inerrant.\nSo inerrancy does not guarantee that the Bibles we hold in our hands are without error; the doctrine of inerrancy only guarantees that our bibles are without error insofar as they match what was in the originals. Before you get too depressed, textual critics think that 99% of our New Testaments match the original writings. But we should be aware that inerrancy safeguards the truthfulness of the originals, not any printing of the Bible.\nSecond, the meaning of the text is inerrant only \u201cwhen interpreted according to the intended sense.\u201d So what we claim the Bible teaches is not inerrant, but only what it really teaches is inerrant. Most Christians are aware of this; most people will say something like, \u201cThat\u2019s just a matter of interpretation,\u201d in response to the someone else\u2019s teaching of the Bible. But this qualification does have more interesting implications. Christians have often treated some important teachings as so certain that the falsity of these doctrines would prove that the Bible was not inerrant (and so, the reasoning goes, not the actual Word of God). In other words, some teachings \u2013 for example, some teachings based on Genesis 1 and 2 \u2013 have often been held up in the the assurance that if these teachings are false, then the Bible has errors.\nWe need to be exceedingly careful when we make such claims. We have to be sure that we have interpreted the passage correctly. Here is a less controversial example than the interpretation of Genesis 1 and 2: does the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus teach us that hell is eternal, conscious torment? Was Jesus trying to communicate aspects of what the afterlife will be like by using the imagery that he did in that parable? In the theological discussions that surround annihilationism, some arguments turn on whether that parable is meant to communicate something about the nature of hell.\nSo I do think Christians should affirm inerrancy, but we need to state it carefully as Vanhoozer does.\nFour Implications\nI think there are some implications that come from this simple teaching about inerrancy:\nWe have to ask what God is trying to communicate in a certain passage. Notice that Vanhoozer\u2019s definition of inerrancy connects inerrancy to the intended message of the passage. I know this would seem obvious. But it is worth mentioning because I am constantly amazed with how often people take Bible passages out of context. Think about how often people use Jeremiah 29:11 to imply that God has great plans for them individually or Philippians 4:13 to say that they can accomplish their goals. The doctrine of inerrancy teaches us that have to be more careful than this. We have to do the hard work of determining what God wants.\nWe must allow the Bible to use the same everyday standards of communication. This is a result of God speaking through humans. We should expect the inspired Scriptures to exhibit the differing rhythms, idioms, imagery, etc. that characterizes human speech. When we try to determine what God intended to communicate, we need to take into account the use of figures of speech and the like. We should not demand that imagery be taken literally just because it is divinely inspired.\nWe must allow the Bible a certain amount of vagueness. If I say, \u201cToday\u2019s discussion will last an hour,\u201d but it only lasts fifty-nine minutes, did I lie? Did I get it wrong? No. We understand that in everyday speech, that sometimes our statements are vague. The intended meaning of a phrase can be vague.\nFurthermore, in matters of science and history (and other subjects) are used, we have to ask whether God is trying to communicate these historical and scientific truths to us, or use the cultural, scientific, and historical beliefs to communicate something to us. For example, when Jesus says that the mustard seed is the smallest of the seeds, we have to ask whether Jesus is trying to communicate the truth of that botanical information. Or was Jesus just using the cultural belief about what the smallest seed was to make a point about the way the Kingdom of God will grow?\nAs our faith and its beliefs are less assumed in our culture, it is hard work to clearly explain beliefs that for decades have been more or less assumed. But we must undertake the task. And our view of the Bible is one area that we must become clear about.\nAnnihilationism, Bible, Christianity, Creation, Genesis, Hell, Inerrancy, Kevin Vanhoozer, Theology",

        "title": "Open Source Literature \u2013 Michael Axonn",
        "raw_content": "As with all technological revolutions, the Internet has changed the way we create and consume information in many ways. It has also given rise to a plethora of new tools and workflows available to writers, publishers and readers. These many creative instruments can be combined in the most inventive of ways.\nOpen Source Literature is about championing a new way of growing literature. It embraces the wild nature of human imagination, releasing thought from all constraints. It also challenges the participant to make a leap of faith when it comes to financial sustenance.\nOSL defies the delicate nature of literary work and its rather strict connection with a certain author. It allows taking any and all risks, so that there is nothing that holds back anybody who would like to capitalize upon another author\u2019s work.\nExperimentation is one of the best ways to learn. In order to analyze the potential of OSL, I have decided to craft a series of literary works using Open Source best practices. My OSL implementation uses a public repository powered by a version control system. With ease and flexibility in mind, I already outlined the first proposal of a framework through which contributors can reuse and modify literary projects. The first draft of what an OSL license might look like is also available^.\nMy OSL experimental repository is located at the following address:\nhttps://github.com/MAxonn/stories-from-the-continuum^\nIt uses the GIT version control system. Information about the repository should automatically be displayed underneath the file list. If it isn\u2019t, the readme.md file can be read by clicking here^. The file contains additional information regarding the purpose of Open Source Literature. The technical information about the project can also be found there.\nI believe in the potential of Open Source Anything. This is rooted in my observation that in the case of human collaboration, 1+1 often yields more than 2. Good team work produces fantastic results. Furthermore, voluntary association has additional chances of becoming good team work compared to other forms of collaboration.\nOpening a work to change can lead to unexpected results. Fortunately, natural selection also takes place in the case of art. That which is worthy has more chances to withstand the test of time. There are countless examples of artists remixing each other\u2019s work and bringing fascinating creations into the world. I believe that everybody is an artist. It\u2019s only a matter of practicing the skill.\nI\u2019ve presented several of the advantages of Open Source Literature in the readme.md^ file of the repository I linked above. One thing I\u2019d like to stress is my observation of how awesome branching can be for storytelling. For example, it has allowed me to create two^ alternate^ versions for a story I wrote. Aside from one paragraph, the story is the same. Any changes I make in the master version of the story can easily be merged into any other version (except that one paragraph, of course, which needs to be changed individually in each branch in order to avoid conflicts). This ensures that the two alternate versions can benefit from common corrections and modifications.\nThis is the name of my first book, a collection of short stories that serves as the opener for a larger work bearing the same name. All of the novels, short stories and other types of literature available in the OSL repository I linked above take place in the same Universe, which is why the name of the repository is \u201cStories from the Continuum\u201d. In this separate article^, I\u2019ve described what this literary work means by \u201cthe Continuum\u201d.\nWriting these \u201cStories\u201d comes with no restriction on genre or style. This may seem like an invitation to chaos, but thanks to the many instruments of creation available today, chaos can be translated into enthralling diversity. The project is well suited for serving as an Open Source experiment because it consists of a diverse and expansive Universe. As it will soon be apparent, there will be plenty of room for contribution.\nBecause of the paradigms and software tools used throughout this implementation of OSL, \u201cStories from the Continuum\u201d is a perpetually changing creature of thought. There won\u2019t be any \u201cfinal version\u201d for any text. Instead, this project embraces the software definition of a \u201crelease\u201d. There will be releases for example when a work is published, but any \u201cStory\u201d can undergo radical changes throughout its limitless lifespan.\nWith a bit of luck and opportunity, other adventurers will join this quest for discovering new ways to grow literature. From my part, I have already laid out plans for at least six novels and two collections of short stories. The only but sadly very real limitation is that of resources, to be precise, time, to be precise, money. At the moment, I cannot sustain my family with my writing. Until that will change, I am maintaining a full time job and my writing is scattered through whatever time I can scavenge during the week. But if anything, I am patient and persistent. I\u2019m also not afraid to ask for your help^.\nBesides the actual writing of the \u201cStories\u201d, quite a bit of time has and will be invested in the technical aspects of implementing OSL. My focus is on writing, but there will be gradual and constant improvements brought to the OSL framework (software, license, workflow).\nExperimenting with writing and (coding) software has become a dream come true. I always sought to contribute something beautiful back to the society that has helped me become who I am. It is my hope that this can be one such thing.",

        "raw_content": "Home / Blog / Awareness & Culture \u2013 Two Things That Make Me Different Than Everyone Else\nHaving the ability to think in different languages is a humongous thing. This is something that I\u2019ve naturally done since I was born. My mom grew up in the Philippines, and worked in Japan. These random facts bring to light the fact that my mom was speaking Japanese, Filipino, English, and Spanish (because it is already relatively close to Filipino due to culture).\nMy mom was probably yelling at me in all of these languages combined, and it was naturally for me to understand one sentence in different contexts as a baby and kid. Whenever I\u2019m home, my grandma still speaks to me in Tagalog, and I understand what is being said, especially when I\u2019m hungry, when food is on the table, when she needs something, when things matter.\n[Side Note: There has been some interesting research talking about how understanding multiple languages as a baby keeps certain windows open during their developmental years.]\nI remember in the first grade, I helped my mom during a \u201cCultures Around the World\u201d program, where we spoke for about 5 to 6 minutes in straight Japanese (keep in mind I\u2019m 100% Filipino). Granted it was relatively conversational in nature, because I was about 6/7 years old, but the story should serve a purpose \u2013 having the ability to speak multiple languages is the one skill set that I know I have that makes me different than everyone else.\nNow, translating this to my adult and professional life, there is thought process that involves learning how to speak \u201cmultiple languages\u201d to different populations of people. I\u2019m not talking about speaking Khmer to my Cambodians, or Spanish to my fellow Spanish-speaking brethren (I can if I need to), but I have the ability to blend in with different friends and populations.\nWorking as a personal trainer, to youth athletes in multiple populations (hockey, lacrosse, soccer, baseball, dancing, basketball, bboys, etc) all the way to a slightly more older and professional athletic population is merely an extension of my ability to speak multiple languages. It\u2019s a survival mechanism at its least, and my natural intuition at its best.\nThe way I\u2019m going to communicate a specific drill to someone who plays basketball to make them buy-in is going to be much different than someone who has never played anything other than baseball, for example.\nMultiple Skills That Make All The Difference\nAnother interesting aspect is other people continuously pointing out to me that I am a \u201ccertain person\u201d when it comes to a niche, skillset, or any other professionally minded skill.\nWhile I appreciate the notion that I have developed an expertise, it is interesting to hear these observations from my peers:\nI\u2019ve been clumped together with being a \u201cbreathing guy\u201d because I\u2019ve been to multiple continuing education courses.\nRead: Posts Tagged \u201cPostural Restoration Institute\u201d\nI\u2019ve been classified as a \u201cdance movement guy\u201d only because my background is in dancing.\nI\u2019ve been classified as an \u201cenergy systems guy\u201d because I\u2019ve done a few presentations on aerobic energy systems.\nRead: 5 Thoughts on Conditioning for Dancers\nI haven\u2019t been classified as a \u201cpowerlifting guy\u201d despite being only 55lbs away from an elite total at the 148lb weight class. Despite having a deadlift over 3.5 times bodyweight.\nI\u2019ve been classified as a research driven guy (despite me not having a Master\u2019s, or any other graduate level education).\nI\u2019ve been classified as a stats guys (despite me only collecting basic level information on athletes and questionnaires from online clients).\nI haven\u2019t been classified as a baseball strength and conditioning guy, despite doing a 4 month internship, and collecting over 1.5 years of capital at Cressey Sports Performance, a sports performance facility in Hudson, MA (and now Jupiter, FL).\nAmong many other things that are probably not as nice.\nThe truth of the matter is that I enjoy diving deep into many different social circles, groups, and creating multiple friends in many different ways.\nMy purpose is to not \u201cshow off\u201d what people have said about me. Rather, I grew up in a world where the word \u201clabels\u201d had a negative connotation, so I chose to diversify my energy into not having any one label!\nThis is to display that people\u2019s observations of what people think of who you are, and where they fit you in their head should not deter you from what your goals are and what they should be.\nNavigating multiple social circles, sub-cultures (I\u2019ve danced, talked about basketball, talked anime, and then talked about getting strong on the front side with athletes in less than about 10 minutes \u2013 it happens pretty regularly), along with learning to speak to multiple people and how they view things from their world is a skill set that is difficult to convey in a succinct message.\nOne thing that I try to encourage co-workers, friends, and interns to do is to get out of their comfort zone. With that said, if you\u2019re reading this, I highly recommend challenging yourself in this way:\nI challenge you, the reader, the thinker, the coach, the trainer, to envelope yourself in another culture, or to discover something about another culture that you would not have known about.\nThis doesn\u2019t take 20 years to do, but rather small pieces of conversation that truly allow you to become immersed in another person\u2019s life.\nYou don\u2019t need to, and you can always do whatever the f*ck you want to do, but when you begin to expose yourself to multiple multiple cultures, whether it is hanging out with acquaintances, or members of a rival team, or someone you initially don\u2019t get along with, you\u2019ll find out more about yourself and how you process information, and how your emotions are regulated.\nNow, if this doesn\u2019t speak to you, that\u2019s cool. I\u2019m always attempting to push my comfort levels, whether it is in the context of continuing education, powerlifting, or learning what makes a youth athlete tick (it is Snapchat and Instagram at the moment). I challenge you to do the same thing.\nTags: comfort zone, dancing, Postural Restoration Institute, powerlifting, PRI, statistics",

        "raw_content": "Former Trojan\u2019s love of basketball continues with opportunity to play in Florida\n\u2018Basketball Never Stops,\u2019 was written across Willie Mudbone\u2019s shirt and heart.\nOn July 10 in the Millington Central High School Library, that was the ideal choice of outfit for the MCHS graduate as he celebrated with friends, family, teammates and coaches his signing to Florida National University outside of Miami.\nExamining Mudbone\u2019s love of the game, his signing day would have never been in doubt. But the academic side put his dream in jeopardy. Mudbone will be the first to admit it was basketball that kept him motivated in the classroom and it was the MCHS administration, teachers and his coaches that kept him on course to walk across the stage this past May.\n\u201cThis day means a lot,\u201d Mudbone said. \u201cWhere I was coming from before, there were a lot of problems. So my family moved me out here and gave me a better opportunity to pursue an education and to better myself in basketball.\n\u201cI took advantage of basketball more than anything because that means a lot,\u201d he added. \u201cFor me to have enough grades to get into this school means a lot. You see people in college and you don\u2019t know how hard they had to work to get there. You just see them there. I had to work to get there. It means a lot to me to actually achieve this goal.\u201d\nThe signing day meant a lot to Mudbone\u2019s parents Caroline and Butch and his Trojan coaches including Head Coach Rob Sabau.\n\u201cWillie never gave up on his dream,\u201d Sabau said. \u201cApril passed and May, and he stayed with it. He worked hard and I hope this serves as an example of perseverance for our younger guys.\n\u201cWillie might be the best shooter I\u2019ve coached,\u201d he added. \u201cAnd he has a good basketball IQ and hopefully in a new environment he will concentrate and become an even more consistent basketball player. He can help contribute to that new program from day one.\u201d\nFlorida National University was established in 1982 as a higher learning institution accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges to award associate, baccalaureate, and master degrees.\nFNU hired Scott Schmidt as the Athletic Director for its new Athletic Department earlier this year and opened tryouts for their first ever men\u2019s basketball team. Mudbone will be a part of the inagurual team this coming fall.\nMudbone\u2019s road to making FNU history started in Memphis. Growing up the shooting guard played all over the city from Frayser to Binghampton.\n\u201cHe\u2019s been playing since he could run,\u201d Caroline recalled. \u201cHe really got into it when he was in Kindergarten. His dad taught him the basics like dribbling and shooting. Then Willie has had some great coaches over the years. We want to thank them for helping him get here.\u201d\nWith his trademark long braid, Willie groomed his game on courts from Lester to Kingsbury, his previous stop before arriving to Millington.\n\u201cI remember him going down the driveway dribbling with his right hand,\u201d Butch said. \u201cThen he would come back up the driveway dribbling the ball in his left hand. He has always been a good ball handler. He has always loved basketball.\u201d\nThere were other sports that aimed for Willie\u2019s heart like soccer, baseball and even football. But he always kept returning back to basketball.\nGrowing up in Memphis, the basketball culture was rich for Willie playing against elite level talent like Nick King, Austin Nichols and other college signees from Class of 2013. But as a Mexican/Native American mix, he didn\u2019t have many role models to look up to playing hoops.\nButch and Caroline made sure they supported Willie\u2019s love of the game and taught him his rich heritage.\n\u201cWe are proud that he carries the name Mudbone,\u201d Caroline said. \u201cWhen he was growing up, he used to perform traditional dances. He had the long hair too. People used to think he was a girl. And he went out to prove himself that he was a boy.\u201d\nThe long hair was quickly forgotten once Willie started dribbling the ball, driving to the rim for layups and hitting his trademark long-range jumper.\nHe earned respect for his overall game from Memphis to Millington. And his skills helped him become part of the first FNU team.\n\u201cI get to carry on my name,\u201d Willie said. \u201cI\u201dm the only son that gets to carry on my name. And I get to carry it on in a positive and good way. Being me the ethnicity I am, lately our race has been stepping up with people like Sam Bradford. I get to make that next step.\u201d\nBradford is the quarterback for the NFL\u2019s St. Louis Rams. He reached that level after a successful stent at The University of Oklahoma winning the Heisman Trophy.\nNow Willie has the opportunity to win college awards with his support team from Millington helping him get his grades.\n\u201cIt was a lot different because people at Kingsburg cared,\u201d Willie acknowledged. \u201cBut they just expressed it in a different way. Here, they knew what it takes to get there because they\u2019ve been there. They\u2019ve been through the grades and stuff. Being here really taught me I have to really work hard in the classroom.\u201d\nCaroline and Butch said FNU will help their son reach the next level in his game and continue his progress to manhood.\n\u201cHe will have to prove himself now,\u201d Butch said. \u201cHe has no choice now. He will get down there and show what he can do.\u201d\nSo Willie\u2019s education and basketball continues. And never giving up on his dream motivated him, and now he\u2019s a member of the first FNU Basketball team.\n\u201cIt\u2019s a new program,\u201d Willie concluded. \u201cSo I just want to go down there and work hard and hopefully earn a starting spot. I want to be able to compete for championship at the next level as soon as I get there. That\u2019s everyone\u2019s goal, right?\u201d",

She runs Cougar Club\u2014the after school targeted services program where students get additional help with math, reading, and social skills, the forest club, school assemblies, the school store, helps with finding subs when needed, helps with conducting interviews, and teaches and oversees the summer school program, to name just a few things. She spends countless hours researching and applying for grants for the forest club\u2014the club oversees the maintenance of the Clearview Forest and helps students learn about nature through its use\u2014and Cougar Club. She looks for the best in every child and works to make them feel special and capable. She is one of the first teachers in the building each morning and one of the last to leave. The fourth and fifth grades (in English) have recently been combined at the s chool (sic) and she has approached it with a positive attitude and enthusiasm that allows her to successfully teach both grades at once. On a personal note, she has helped my oldest grow and learn to love school. She has embraced him and helped him come out of his shell in a way that no other teacher has. She cares so much about all her students. One recent example of her caring: several of her students had been suffering from eczema, to the point they were nearly in tears. Their parents had been unable to find something that took away the symptoms. She learned of a new lotion, and within just a few days, she had gone to the store and picked some up for her students to use. She has an incredible heart and loves to see her students learn and succeed. Clearview would not be the same without her. My children would not be the same without her! I appreciate everything she does for the school, her students, and my family.\nFrom the tears in her eyes to the enthusiastic applause from students and staff in the classroom, it was clear that Mrs. Coulter deserved every bit of recognition and appreciation. Special thanks to our supporters Concrete Image Hair Salon, Coyote Moon Grille, Great Harvest Bread Company and All-Star Trophy & Awards for making all of our Teachers of the Week feel appreciated!\nAn additional shout out to the bus driver who plays Mix 94.9 on the kids' drive home and all the kids in Mrs. Coulter's class for asking for Adam's autograph and making him feel like a celebrity!\nNominate our next Teacher of the Week here.\nFiled Under: Clearview, Clearview Elementary, recognition, Teacher, Teacher of the week",

Ask a Travel Expert!\nThe airport is situated two miles (4km) from Chiang Mai.\nThe airport does not allow public tricycle and pick-up cars to enter the airport area; these can be accessed outside the airport boundaries. They are the cheapest transport option from the airport, but can be uncomfortably crowded with luggage. Taxis, limousines and car rentals are the only form of transport available at the airport. Many hotels will arrange transport for guests with advance booking.\nThe airport is situated 20 miles (32km) from Phuket city.\nMany hotels also offer transport for arriving guests. Several companies provide limousine and minibus services at the airport to transport passengers to their required destination.\nThe airport is located about nine miles (15km) east of Krabi city centre.\nThere is a bus service linking the airport to Krabi and Ao Nang. Buses leave about five times daily, but the schedule is adjustable depending on demand - buses leave once sufficiently full of passengers. Taxis and motorcycle taxis are generally also available outside the terminal; note that 'limousine taxi' usually just means an air-conditioned taxi. Fares have been standardised and must be pre-paid in the airport.\nSamui International Airport (USM)\nThe airport is located on the island of Koh Samui, near Bo Pud Beach.\nShared minivans are available, charging fixed fares to destinations around Koh Samui. These are generally cheaper for solo travellers, charging fares from THB 60. Note that some destinations are not covered by shared transport, and are only reachable by private taxi.\nThe airport is located around 25 miles (40km) from Sukhothai.\nHotel shuttles and taxis are available from the airport to the city.\nThe airport is located approximately 14 miles (22km) from Centerpoint pier, where most visitors head to in order to transfer by ferry to Koh Chang.\nMinibuses are available to the town centre. No public buses or taxis are permitted to pick up passengers at the airport.",

        "raw_content": "Q. Was Jeane murdered?\nA. No. The evidence is simply too overwhelming to allow that conclusion. In order for her to have been murdered, she would have to have been hung without any struggle by her as the autopsy found no marks which would evidence such a struggle. Jeane would not have gone out without a fight. Moreover, the assailants would have to gotten in and out of her mother\u2019s trailer park in broad daylight without being noticed. If you have ever been in a trailer park in Florida populated by retirees, you know that nobody comes and goes without being noticed.\nWhat regrettably makes more sense is that Jeane decided to take her own life in the depth of depression aided by Abmein\u00ae, a drug reported by the FDA to increase suicides among clinically depressed individuals. Not previously reported is that Jeane had tried to commit suicide four days earlier at her condominium in Tampa by overdosing on Abmien\u00ae. Waking up thirty hours later, Jeane must have decided to use a method with a greater chance of success \u2013 hanging. Why she chose her mother\u2019s house I can\u2019t say, but suicide is devoid of logic. Additionally, her suicide notes all had her fingerprints on them. Absent of conspiracy of Hollywood proportions, there can be no doubt that Jeane took her own life.\nQ. Aren\u2019t you suspended from the practice of law?\nI have been suspended by the Supreme Court of Florida for three years for allegedly failing to pay child support and filing \u201cmeritless\u201d law suits to regain custody of my children taken from me without a hearing for 2 years. As a result, I have been automatically suspended by ever other state and federal court, with the curious exception of the United States Supreme Court.\nThe final chapter on that suspension has yet to be written as the litigation over the propriety and motivation for my suspension is far from over. Though I fully understand the stigma that a suspension tars me with, I am heartened by the words of Mahatma Gandhi: \u201cFirst they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win.\u201d My accusers are still in the \u201cridicule\u201d stage as they have yet to \u201cfight\u201d me for I have been denied the right to confront my accusers under oath and denied an opportunity to call witnesses to refute the charges against me. When that \u201cfight\u201d comes \u2013 and it will \u2013 I am confident that like Mahatma Gandhi, I will \u201cwin\u201d.\nHowever, the details of that story are for another book.\nQ. Do you identify any new clients of the service in the book?\nYes and no. I do identify that clients of Jeane\u2019s escort service included individuals associated with a wide-range of companies, institutions and government agencies including: the Archdiocese of Washington, the Army Capabilities Integration Center, the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, the US Army Information Systems Command, the National Drug Intelligence Center and the law firms of (i) Jones Day Reavis and Pogue, (ii) Akin Gump Strauss, (iii) The Durst Law Firm, (iv) Patterson Belknap Webb, and (v) Reed Smith among many others.\nAdditionally, I note that those clients included: a Director of the Defense Contract Management Agency; a Commander of the 332rd Expeditionary Maintenance Group, Balad Air Base,. Iraq; a high ranking officer of Colonel Pipeline Company which had reached a Settlement for Oil Spills in Five States; an Environmental Protection Agency employee; a former President of National District Attorney Association; a Hewlett Packard Director who made substantial contributions to U.S. Senate races; a director of the Association of Foreign Intelligence Officers; a state representative from Louisiana; a member of the Maryland Public Service Commission; a NASA Astronaut; and a Special Envoy for Middle East Security appointed by Condoleezza Rice.\nHowever, as detailed in the book, I have been put under court order not to reveal these names publicly by Judge Robertson. So I can't reveal those names only because I risk being incarcerated for contempt-of-court.\nThus the real story became \u2013 why was I silenced? Why did the government want so badly to keep these \u2013 and other clients of Jeans\u2019s escort service \u2013 from being publicly identified by me?\nQ. Did the White House really call you?\nYes.

        "title": "Housing | Mid-Shore Council on Family Violence",
        "raw_content": "Domestic violence survivors face many challenges when it comes to living a life free from violence. Two of the most daunting and overwhelming are the need for safe housing and the economic resources to maintain safe housing (Clough, A., Draughon, J. E., Njie-Carr, V., Rollins, C., & Glass, N., 2014). Research has shown that intimate partner violence is frequently associated with poverty, unemployment, housing instability, and homelessness (Pavao, Alvarex, Baumrind, Induni, & Kimerling, 2007). For example, in a study of 3,400 shelter residents in domestic violence programs across eight states, 84% of participants reported that they needed help with finding affordable housing. In that same study, survivors reported that if a domestic violence shelter was not available to them, the consequences would be dire: homelessness, serious losses including their children, actions taken in desperation, or continued abuse or death (Lyon, E., Lane, S., & Menard, A., 2008). For domestic or intimate partner violence victims and survivors, \u201cHaving housing made everything else possible\u201d(Clough, A., Draughon, J. E., Njie-Carr, V., Rollins, C., & Glass, N., 2014).\nThe threat of homelessness can keep victims in abusive relationships. In a series of state studies, 44% to 46% of homeless women said that they had stayed in an abusive relationship because they were not sure where they could go (American Civil Liberties Union, 2004). Among MSCFV clients, about 5% specifically say they returned to their abuser partner in the past because they had no place to go. One out of four victims exiting MSCFV\u2019s emergency shelter are going to stay with family or friends, living situations that are often unstable. A review of MSCFV non-shelter intakes suggests that affordable, stable housing is a need for a significant number of clients. Half have no income of their own or make less than $1,000 per month. Forty-six percent list housing as a barrier towards self-sufficiency and independence.\nThe challenge of securing safe and affordable housing is even greater in the Maryland Mid-Shore Counties served by MSCFV. In these counties (Caroline, Dorchester, Kent, Queen Anne\u2019s and Talbot), private market housing costs have continued to remain high, and low income or income based housing have waiting lists up to years long. MSCFV\u2019s experience has shown that without substantial financial assistance, survivors of domestic violence are forced into housing situations that are detrimental to their well-being and the well-being of their children. A survivor is faced with choosing between living in a house which is unsafe because this is all they can afford with limited housing assistance, living in a crisis shelter for an extended period of time or returning to her abusive relationship. Immigrant survivors face additional obstacles that further limit their housing options due to the fact that they are not eligible for any housing assistance.\nMSCFV Moves from Providing Housing to Supporting Homes\nFrom initial contact until the victim leaves the program, MSCFV case managers work with each client to create and implement client-centered, holistic service plans that include:\nHomelessness Prevention: When possible, MSCFV can provide the resources to enable victims to remain in their existing homes.\nEmergency Shelter:Safe shelters for victims and their minor children and pets are available in each county served\nRapid Rehousing:Short-term (up to six months) rental assistance or housing within the New Beginnings apartment home\nTransitional Housing: A local American Legion Chapter owns and maintains an apartment home reserved for participants in the MSCFV Transitional Program. This home provides a unique opportunity for family violence victims and their families to have safe and stable housing for up to 24 months while they work on securing other life-sustaining resources such as long-term employment, education, connections to community services, and child-care.\nHousing Financial Assistance:MSCFV provides financial assistance to cover the cost of maintaining or obtaining safe, long-term housing. Support includes rental or utilities payment assistance and assistance with related expenses such as payment of security deposits and other costs incidental to relocation to transitional housing.\nCase Management services:The Transitional Services Coordinator, with support from the MSCFV team, provides Family Violence survivors client-driven, tailored, holistic services to help overcome their legal, emotional, financial, educational, and employment challenges which will allow them to achieve their long-term self-sufficiency goals.\nEmployment and Housing Support:A case manager helps victims secure jobs, transportation, housing, childcare and other services needed to help victims become self-sufficient in stable housing.",

        "raw_content": "Shakespeare, Music and Performance ed. by Bill Barclay and David Lindley\nShakespeare, Music and Performance. Ed. by Bill Barclay and David Lindley. Pp. xv + 286. (Cambridge University Press, Cambridge and New York, 2017. \u00a364.99. ISBN 978-1-107-13933-6.)\nLike it or loathe it, the Early Music movement of especially the 1970s and beyond challenged contemporaneous performative norms of Western art music for better and for worse, for both listeners and performers. The inevitability and universality of nineteenth-century Romantic interpretative attitudes could no longer be taken for granted. Such experiential crises had of course existed in earlier times. The apparent rediscovery of the theatre and music of the Elizabethan age towards the end of the nineteenth century threw up one such challenge. The quintessential musical instrument of Elizabethan domesticity, the lute, for example, no longer possessed mere gestural symbolism, it also necessitated acoustic signification, though it was well into the twentieth century before that became a reality. Arthur Sullivan's piano (quasi 'harp') accompaniment to his setting of Queen Katherine's piteous song Orpheus with his lute (H8 3.1), for instance, effectively undermines the 'performance integrity' of the music according to aesthetic performance theory involving 'honesty, [End Page 112] genuineness, even sincerity'. Sam Wanamaker's vision of recreating the playing conditions of Shakespeare's theatre, realized at the very end of the twentieth century, has resulted, according to Claire van Kampen, in the phenomenon that 'the performance of Shakespeare all over the world has, by 2015, been most decidedly affected by the playing style of performances at Shakespeare's Globe' (p. 53). This involved the incorporation of Elizabethan costume/clothing, period musical instruments, and appropriate early modern ('historical') music combining to produce what was termed 'Original Practices' in order to explore original 'authentic' working practices. The first notable and memorable experiment was the anniversary production of Twelfth Night in 2002, which achieved remarkable success and even transferred to Broadway in 2013\u201314.\nIt is not surprising, therefore, that the contents of this book, mostly derived from a conference organized by the editors and held at Shakespeare's Globe in 2013, is couched in postmodern music performance concepts and practices, referencing both historically informed performance and classical/popular crossover techniques. The aim of the collection of essays is to discuss the influential role of practical music in Shakespeare production from the late sixteenth century to the present day, offering insights into contextuality and stylistic considerations, affected by the availability of specific instrumentalists (and singers) at differing stages in theatre history, varietal contemporaneous music practices, reception history, and more recently the impact of technology and screen.\nThe book is divided into five sections: the first two essays provide a preliminary context for many of the issues surrounding the music used, instrumentalists and singers, and performance settings found in Shakespeare's theatre, more specifically 'Theatre Bands and their Music' by William Lyons and 'Performance Spaces \u2026 at Jacobean Indoor Playhouses' by Simon Smith. There follows a miscellany of essays, gathered chronologically according to century under the general subheadings 'In Practice I\u2013IV', concluding with a lively, insider review by the Director of Music at Shakespeare's Globe, Bill Barclay, of a selection (possibly the highlights) of the thirty-eight productions (recte First Folio plays plus Pericles and the narrative poem 'Venus and Adonis') at the 2012 Globe-to-Globe Festival as part of the Cultural Olympiad. A summary table of the musical content of each show is appended, in which the productions are categorized by: number of musicians, type of music (composer/sound designer) and performance (live or pre-recorded), distinctive musical attributes and influences, stage placement, as well as the name of the touring company and the language of delivery. The author says: 'I particularly noted scores comprised of traditional musical styles native to their respective countries, and examined productions that brought music into moments in the plays that typically go without' (p. 256). The result is a reinterpretation of Shakespeare performance by way of music interlocution. Or, as Jon Trenchard remarks earlier in the book, it is the 'practical business of picking up Shakespeare's music cues and reperforming them' (p. 240).",

The method is curious, and not to be recommended, though in this case it does not seem to have been harmful.\nIn 1872 he became a pupil of Mikuli, the editor of Chopin who trained him along more academic lines.

        "title": "Musing on Spines: From Documenta to the Affordable Art Fair",
        "raw_content": "Although I have always nurtured a more than passionate interest in the arts, one of the first important contemporary art shows I ever had the fortune to see was the 1997, Documenta X, in Kassel, Germany, when I was twenty-five. Never before had I seen so much cutting-edge art all in the same town. It was a truly libidinous eye-opener for a young art enthusiast.\nTunga, Inside out, upside down (Ponta Cabe\u00e7a), 1994-97.\nThere was Tunga\u2019s \u2018Inside out, upside down\u2019, eerily suspended on the station platform; the 'A-Z Escape Vehicle' of Andrea Zittel - which I quite fancied curling up in - and then there was 'Resident Alien' by Israeli artist Sigalit Ladau, which involved a \u2018perilous\u2019 hike in what externally presented itself as an abandoned cargo container. This was a very interesting and poignant piece and the first interactive work of art I had ever \u2018physically\u2019 engaged with; an interaction that the artist certainly didn\u2019t make easy. She had deformed the floor of a container with heat, creating an undulating landscape that represented the Judean Desert. The sound of a heavy hammer beating against a smaller hammer and a distant radio could be heard, as you comically attempted to scale the slippery mounds of the container floor. On reaching the other side of the \u2018hill\u2019 the viewer was presented with a hole in the right corner of the container, which you just had to look inside, that was, until you realised you had your head in a toilet \u2013 a clean one, I hasten to add \u2013 listening to an Arab radio station. There were obviously many more fascinating works throughout the town, but these are the ones that have remained most impressed in my mind.\nAndrea Zittel, A-Z Escape Vehicle, 1996. Exterior and interior.\nSince that experience, things have never quite been the same. And, although, in truth, an art fair is by no means comparable to an event like the one in Kassel, because it is a showcase of allegedly \u2018meticulously\u2019 selected commercial galleries and not really an \u2018exhibition\u2019 in the true sense, of the word, I still often come away feeling a little bit cheated by the art world. Couple this with the fact I lived in Italy for nearly twenty years,\nSigalit Ladau, Resident Alien.\nfrequented many artists, critics, gallery owners, and visited as many art fairs and exhibitions that I possibly could, it might well be that I\u2019ve subjected myself to some form of visual and intellectual asphyxiation \u2013 or maybe not...\nHowever, I can't deny that this \u2018disappointment\u2019, along with my passion for art, continues, so when we popped down to the Battersea Affordable Art Fair on 26th of October, I was already mentally prepared and had persuaded myself to put my expectations aside, repeating the words \u201cit is what it is\u201d, over and over in my mind.\nHollie MacKenzie, Downfall.\nA sea of visitors were swarming around the bright white entrance hall, with its splashes of fuchsia-coloured carpets and signs, where we were greeted by the recent graduates exhibition, curated by Jessica Hall. In my opinion, one of the works that stood out the most was \u2018Downfall\u2019 by Hollie MacKenzie, a hand-crafted, \u2018melting\u2019 wooden staircase, that looks like paint drips. And, although the artists states, \u201c...explores the notions of utopia and dystopia, creating my own version of a dystopian landscape in the form of installation. [...] I take a part of the site, whether it is the ceiling, walls or the stairs, and distort it to a point that it no longer functions as an element in the design of the building, but becomes something dystopian, distorting its surroundings and environment to present an alternative, deviant reality. The theatrical and absurd realities of the installations present extreme and unfamiliar situations for the viewer to engage in and interpret its proximity to the reality we live in. [...] I investigated the notion of the 'stairway to heaven' \u2013 stairway to utopia \u2013 and created 'Downfall'. An installation which presents a distortion of a staircase and its passage way, reflecting the impossibility of reaching utopia\u201d, I initially thought the sculpture alluded to the art world and the difficulties and delusions of an artist attempting to climb the \u2018ladder of success\u2019 in today\u2019s socio-economic climate.\nBeosmik Won, Archisculpture Project 008,\nDiasec mounted, photographic print\nAnother artist that really appealed to me was Beomsik Won, with his 'Archisculpture Project', a limited edition series of alien, yet familiar black and white digital montages, featuring a curious and lysergic juxtaposition of landscapes, composed of ancient and urban architecture that unfold like an oneiric and freakish excursion in Disneyland - or possibly even one my own nightmares...\nInspired by the Fl\u00e2neur concept of the metropolis, the purpose of this fascinating project is to \"create a gigantic sculpture using architectural elements by different architects\". Along with a number of references to consumerism, the works also brought to mind the concept of the 'Ideal City', particularly toyed with during the Rennaisance, which can be traced back to the days of Plato and possibly even further.\nDiasec mounted, photographic print.\nBeomsik explains: \"Ren\u00e9 Descartes claimed that in general, the design of the architecture built by one master is more beautiful and perfect than that of buildings by many architects. However, the purpose of the Archisculpture Project is to make a gigantic sculpture with a variety of building design characteristics by many different architects. [...] If there is the Punctum in photography, the elements of architecture I chose here would be my real Punctums, and the fabrication of these Punctums becomes the basis of the work. Within this project, various architectural elements are reborn as a gigantic and historic new sculpture. The Archisculpture Project creates new stories, connecting every meaning of architecture, or makes comments by dismantling a cityscape, rather than being merely an aesthetically pleasing artwork.\"\nAndrew Reeve, Gathering the Harvest.\nPuns on the art world ensued in Andrew Reeve\u2019s works, \u2018Gathering the Harvest\u2019, which consisted of a series of found framed pictures \u2013 an evident fetish of the artist - that have been turned to face the wall, whilst the back of the canvas has been pierced with the price they will be sold at, which can range from a few to a trillion pounds, depending, I presume, on how cynical the artist is feeling about the art market at the time.\nBartholomew Beal, Melancholy Chime, oil on Canvas .\nBartholomew Beal\u2019s atmospheric paintings show great promise and a love of tradition, with their solitary figures, often suspended in an indefinite space or set against geometrical forms. \u201cEach painting begins as a pared down illustration of an Imagist poem, but there is consistently a point that the paint takes over, and each addition or subtraction that follows lies as evidence of its poetic mood. I would like my paintings to be a healthy tussle between the considered specifics of poetry and a deliberate surrender to the unpredictability of paint, because my paintings gain as much from trial, error and accident as they do from painterly proficiency\u201d, affirms the artist.\nSanghyun Kim, Awake.\nWorthy of mention, were also the intricate, large-scale works by Sanghyun Kim, who seems to be exploring ancient Japanese traditions in a new key, with his tumultuous waves and \u2018mushroom clouds\u2019, created using burning incense on Asian paper, which have a subtle and compelling uniqueness.\nInside, where more than 100 galleries awaited with their fare, we were met by the sweltering dry heat, customary at trade shows and in department stores; an endless array of landscapes, still life, Athena poster-style hyper-realism and supposedly \u2018provacative\u2019 photography that always remind me of images from masturbatory coffee table books, \u2018Reader\u2019s Wives\u2019 Polaroids or photo shoots for fashion magazines. In synthesis, nothing that made me go \u201cWow\u201d. This said, I really enjoyed it and, although a little repetitive at times, the overall quality of the exhibits were good.\nGraeme Wilcox, The Time Machine, oil on canvas.\nI think the exhibitor that stood out the most for me was The Contemporary Fine Art Gallery, Eton. Established twenty years ago by Elizabeth Bayldon Pritchard, the gallery principally specialises in contemporary Scottish and British painters and Zimbabwean Shona sculpture. With an interesting selection of artists, I was particularly taken by Graeme Wilcox, who currently lives and works in Glasgow. Beautifully executed and engaging, the artist often depicts solitary figures caught in a moment of action or emotion. Since graduating from the Glasgow School of Art, he has exhibited in the UK, America, Canada and Russia and has been awarded a string of prizes, including the Black Swan Publishers Award and the Celeste Art Prize.\nI also really loved the works of Ryan Mutter, another Glasgow School of Art graduate, which, judging by the gallery\u2019s website are selling out fast and furiously. Influenced by the likes of Edward Hopper, Anselm Kiefer, ClaudeMonet, Sir Muirhead Bone and Joseph Mallord William Turner, this skilful artist is inspired by industrial subjects, which are quite rightly described as: \u201cbold realism combined with sometimes expressionistic brushwork, that transports you into a world of arresting detail and mechanized splendour\u201d.\nRyan Mutter, Heading Quayside, oil on canvas.\nHe too has brought home several prestigious awards and has works in collections worldwide. The artist is particularly fascinated by Britain\u2019s industrial heritage and Glasgow\u2019s significant role in the ship building industry. \u201cAt the time of the First World War, shipbuilding provided work for 70,000 men in more than 50 yards spread along 11 miles of quayside. But today, the Clyde sits empty, a shadow of its former self, with executive flats and empty waste ground dominating the landscape.\nRyan Mutter, Beneath Britanic, oil on canvas.\nThe advances in technology and design methods superseded the old, making once important skills and craftsmanship redundant. This is what drives me to observe, capture and remind people of how important this work force was in the development of the modern world\u201d.\nHis use of a limited palette, chiefly black and white with the odd flash of colour, and striking imagery of imposing ships and workers bent against the elements, takes the viewer on a suggestive journey to these grey and laborious days gone by.\nBy Sarah Silver\n*All images copyright of the respective artists and photographers.\nPosted by Sarah Silver at 11:51",

Aside from what we have already told thee, what we would say unto thee, another thing thee need to know, is that thee need to be experiencing all the wondrous things of being physical. Truly, daily. Every time thee put a morsel of food in thy mouth, we want thee to savor what this would be like if thee could not taste. Every time thee see a wondrous flower, and thee smell it, we want thee to think of what it would be like in a world of no color, and no fragrances. Every time a lover touches thy hand or strokes thy face we want thee to think of a world where this is not possible. Every time thee pick up thy child or grandchild and feel that intense love, think about a world where holding anything would not be possible. And when thee hear a song, think about a world where there was nothing. And then say \"Thank you, thank you, thank you,\" and be in love with it.\nGuest: Are we loosing all those feelings when we go in the other world?

None of it. Thee don't smell it, thee don't hear it, thee don't taste it, thee don't feel it, what a waste of being physical. But when thee are not physical, you think in only taste, sense the way that thee do, the way we're doing it, by channeling.

        "raw_content": "When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, \u201cDo you want to get well?\u201d\nAgain he said, \u201cWhat shall we say the kingdom of God is like, or what parable shall we use to describe it? It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest seed you plant in the ground. Yet when planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants, with such big branches that the birds of the air can perch in its shade.\u201d With many similar parables Jesus spoke the word to them, as much as they could understand. He did not say anything to them without using a parable. But when he was alone with his own disciples, he explained everything.\nAs Jesus approached Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging. When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening. They told him, \u201cJesus of Nazareth is passing by.\u201d He called out, \u201cJesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!\u201d Those who led the way rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, \u201cSon of David, have mercy on me!\u201d Jesus stopped and ordered the man to be brought to him. When he came near, Jesus asked him, \u201cWhat do you want me to do for you?\u201d \u201cLord, I want to see,\u201d he replied. Jesus said to him, \u201cReceive your sight; your faith has healed you.\u201d Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus, praising God. When all the people saw it, they also praised God.\nWhen the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: \u201cDeath has been swallowed up in victory.\u201d \u201cWhere, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?\u201d The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.\nI warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book. And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book. He who testifies to these things says, \u201cYes, I am coming soon.\u201d Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God\u2019s people. Amen.",

The study is part of a project to develop systems for continuous and periodic injury surveillance in Swedish public health care. Altogether 163 patients were treated for injuries sustained in accidents on 2454 farms during a one-year period. The five most common injurious agents were: material, tools, machinery, foreign bodies and animals. Half of the injuries were due to the victims' having slipped on a floor or on equipment with tools or other objects or to tripping. Reported contributory factors were unsuitable methods of working, failure to use personal safety equipment, deficient inspection, lack of safety devices, design deficiency and haste. Farms consisting of more than 50 hectares (120 acres) were over-represented. The results illustrate the numerous risks associated with work on farms and indicate the need to improve occupational safety in this sector.\nJOURNAL: Scand J Soc Med. 1987; 15(4): 247-252.\nNote: Scandinavian Journal of Social Medicine.",

        "raw_content": "Category: Society and Social Sciences , Religion and Spirituality , Politics , Letters , Education , History , True Accounts , Autobiographies , Philosophy , Health , Biographies , Essays\nThe Navajivan Trust decided to publish The Selected Works of Mahatma Gandhi so that the message of truth and compassion could be conveyed once again to millions of people in India and abroad. As the General Editor of these Volumes, I have tried to make a representative selection of all the writings of the Mahatma which are of permanent value and have a universal appeal. The first Volume covers his Autobiography, which he called The Story of My Experiments with Truth. The second Volume of the series is Satyagraha in South Africa. In the third Volume I have collected most of the \u2018basic works\u2019 of Gandhiji, including Ethical Religion, Unto This Last, Hind Swaraj, From Yeravda Mandir, Constructive Programme and Key to Health. The fourth Volume contains a rich selection of letters which are either of historical interest or contain notable ideas on a variety of important subjects. The fifth Volume incorporates all the essential ideas of Mahatma Gandhi on philosophy, religion, culture, economics, politics, sociology and education. I earnestly hope that these Selected Works will be found useful by all those who are keenly interested in the study of Gandhian thought on different aspects of life. - Shriman Narayan, General Editor, The Selected Works of Mahatma Gandhi, From the Foreword of Vol. 1, August 15, 1968",

        "title": "Defining Production - ENL Wiki",
        "raw_content": "ENL Wiki \u00bb Production and Cost \u00bb Defining Production\nProduction is the conversion of selected inputs into an output, which can be either a material object like a cup, desk, or barrel of oil, or an end-user service like medical care or bartending.\nInputs are resources such as human labor and natural materials, assets such as machines and buildings, and productive services such as those used in accounting and financial management.\nProduction typically occurs at all stages of the output life cycle. For example, a final output is produced from inputs, but most inputs must themselves be produced as intermediate outputs. Once a final output has been produced, outputs are often required in its consumption.\nAn airplane, for instance, needs fuel, and this fuel must be produced. The airplane must also be maintained, which requires spare parts. These parts must be produced as well, and the maintenance service itself counts as production. Production is also involved in an output's disposal stage \u2014 when the plane is disassembled for parts or possibly junked.\nA contentious issue, but one that must be addressed here, is whether caring for dependent human beings should be counted as production. If you feed your own child, are you producing something? If not, is it production when you feed an elderly resident as part of your job at a nursing home?\nAs in all social matters (and even in the physical sciences), gray areas exist and mature judgments must be made. The appropriate question to ask when making such judgments is this: Is it reasonable and ethical to apply economic criteria to the activity in question?\nWhen a parent feeds a baby, neither the child nor the feeding process is normally treated as an output. As well, parents don\u2019t optimize their feeding activities by estimating when the marginal cost of their efforts exceeds the marginal benefit of the baby\u2019s sustenance. The driving forces in feeding a child is parental love, not benefit and cost.\nClearly, then, feeding a baby is not an economic activity \u2014 specifically, it is not production. To a lesser degree, the same comments apply to cooking meals and otherwise caring for a family\u2019s non-dependent members.\nThe nursing home case is dramatically different. Under current social arrangements most nursing homes are profit-oriented enterprises, and the attendants are wage-earning employees.\nAlthough the employees may show considerable compassion to those in their care, the predominant relationship between them is commercial. The cost-benefit criterion can thus be applied, and the feeding of a resident can reasonably be construed as the production of a feeding process.\nThe related issue of housework is much simpler. Housework is the maintenance of an output such as a house or apartment, and is unambiguously seen as production from the ENL perspective. Although rarely done, it would be perfectly reasonable to compare the marginal gains and losses incurred when cleaning a residence, and to stop dusting and scrubbing when these are judged to be equal.\nThe conceptual position taken here should not be confused with the political position adopted by those who demand financial compensation for \u201cunpaid labor.\u201d Economist Marilyn Waring summarizes this stance as follows in her book, If Women Counted:\nI am talking about attributing a monetary valuation to unpaid work, productive and reproductive. This process, called imputation, would make this work visible, influencing policies and concepts, and questioning values.1\nWaring\u2019s primary aim here is not to develop an economic framework that will take us beyond capitalist logic, but to apply political, moral, and intellectual pressure so as to improve women\u2019s lot within the prevailing order. Her aim is certainly worthwhile, but it is short-term and reform-oriented, and thus fundamentally different from ENL\u2019s purpose.\n1.

        "raw_content": "In 1998 he was voted into life membership in the American Brittany Club. In 2002, Gene was voted by his peers into the ABC Distinguished Hall of Fame for people.\nGene has been in Brittanys since the early 1960's. He wouldn't think of going hunting without a brittany. He is an avid sportsman and feels the brittany is the best dog for that activity. Shortly after acquiring his first brittany the interest in field trialing began. He has finished more than 30 Field Champions and Amateur Field Champions. In addition, he has also placed show titles and obedience titles as well as Hunt Test titles on his dogs. But the field has always held the most desire and interest.\nAs a result, he has spent many an hour judging weekend trials, Classics (Pheasant twice, Gundog,Chicken),the Gun Dog Nationals, and the Amateur All Age Nationals. He attends field trials consistently throughout the central region on an every weekend schedule during the spring and fall. He is a consistent placer at whatever trial he attends. He seldom gets shutout of the placements. He has placed in National events as well. (ABC Futurity, Gun Dog Classic, Quail Classic and has received Honorable Mention at the Gun Dog Championship twice).\nHe is very proud of his FC Rock It. Rock It was named by the American Kennel Club as the #1 Brittany in the United States for the year 2002 according to their Top Dog Listing. Dogs can earn a spot in this list by placing first and earning championship points in competition. Rock It earned 21 championship points in the year 2002 and bested some of the greatest competition ever. In addition, Rock It was # 2 in the All Pointing Breed Top Dog List.\nGene has been a member of the Illinois Regional Brittany Club, LaSalle Brittany Club, and the Heart of Illinois Brittany Club. As a member of the Heart of Illinois Brittany Club he has served the club as President, 1st Vice President, Director, Field Trial Chairman, Field Trial Secretary and on many of the necessary committees to keep a club running smoothly.\nHe has served the ABC in many capacities. He was called upon to be Central Dates Coordinator, in June of 1980. This position he held until 1984. During that time he learned the complexities of scheduling across regions. He was asked to run as Central Director during 1983 and served in that capacity from November 1983 through 1999. He was National Dates Coordinator for the American Brittany Club from 2001 to 2006.\nBeing a part of the ABC Board of Directors, he served in many capacities and on many committees. He served as Parliamentarian for several years. Some committee appointments were, Show Site Selection, Gun Dog National Committee, Field Trial Dates Committee, Nominating, Futurity Chairman, Policy Notebook Interim Review Committee. He has always been available for input and a listening ear to the world of brittany owners.\nGene is a proud owner of Nevene Kennels. He raises, trains, and field trials the dogs. Since becoming a professional trainer, Gene can be seen early each morning training the dogs to help them become better hunters for their owners. He has put Championship titles on several dogs in several different categories of AKC events. As a result of his efforts he is well known nation wide at field trial events. He has owned 7 Show Champions, 2 with CD titles, 1 with a CDX and 19 Field Champions. As you can see the field work is the most exciting for Gene He currently has several dogs that have earned points, but have not finished their titles at this point.\nWhen he is not working with dogs, he pursues his career of teaching at the local junior college. He retired from high school teaching at Liberty High School. He found that he couldn't stay out of the classroom so he worked at JWCC until he retired in 2011 after 17 years. He has served the community on the local school board for 8 years. He is also active on other community and organization committees.\nHe has participated in the Field Trial Clubs of Illinois events for over 20 years. Most recently he is serving as Director of this organization. He is the responsible party for creating websites for both FTCI and HIBC. He is presently do the FTCI AWARDS BANQUET Catalogue. In 2009 he was awarded \"Distinguished Senior Service Award\" by FTCI. In 2018 he was awarded \"SPORTSMAN OF YEAR\" by FTCI.\nGene is proud of his family who has shared in his love of the dogs and field work. While raising 2 children, Cheryl and Jerry, they would often be seen with their dad helping in the field and playing with their brittanys. Both attended field trials as a part of growing up. Now he has 5 grandchildren who now help with the chores at home and love to \"play\" with the dogs. His wife Neveta, attends the field trials with him and serves as his scout as well as chief cook, bottle washer and critiques his field work. This makes for timely, as well as lively, conversation on the long drive home from field trials.",

        "raw_content": "Bad feelings between Canada and Russia don't matter in space, says astronaut David Saint-Jacques\nSpace exploration may not quite be the final frontier of co-operation between Canada and Russia \u2014 but it's close.\nIn spite of successive rounds of economic and diplomatic sanctions \u2014 as a result of issues such as Russia's role in Ukraine and Syria \u2014 the job of blasting people into orbit has remained remarkably untouched by the bitter divide between Russia and its Western space partners, which include Canada.\n\"I like to view myself that I am standing on a bridge above all the unrest and tensions,\" said David Saint-Jacques, Canada's next space-bound traveller, who is scheduled to launch in December.\nThe 49-year-old Montrealer will lift off in a Russian rocket, sitting alongside a Russian cosmonaut commander and relaying key information to a ground-based Russian mission control, all the while speaking in Russian.\n\"You have to acknowledge politics \u2014 it exists,\" Saint-Jacques said. \"It is a reality and we don't dismiss it, but we are fortunate, [as] cosmonauts and astronauts, that we are part of one of those few 'strings' that still exist between nations.\"\nSaint-Jacques, who earned a PhD in astrophysics and also worked as a medical doctor, has been training for his December flight at Russia's Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre, about an hour and half northeast of Moscow. This week, Canadian media were invited to observe some of his exercises and speak to the other two members of the crew.\nAs part of his training, astronaut David Saint-Jacques is put in a centrifuge to prepare him for the impact that acceleration and deceleration will have on his body. (Pascal Dumont/CBC)\nWhile many other sectors of Russia's economy, such as the banking and energy industries, have been the frequent target of Western sanctions, so far, space has been left untouched.\nPractical partnership\nIn April, Russian President Vladimir Putin told an audience of space enthusiasts at a Cosmonaut Day address in Moscow that he has no intention of drawing the space program into his disagreements with the United States and other Western countries.\nThere may be practical reasons for that. Russia's space program remains a huge source of pride for the country, and Putin's government frequently invokes the names of great Russian space travellers \u2014 such as Gagarin \u2014 as he attempts to rebuild Russia's standing in the world.\nNASA is also in the midst of a long-term contract with Russia that is lucrative for Putin's administration. NASA is paying Roscosmos, Russia's space agency, more than $ 2.6 billion US to take its astronauts up to the International Space Station until 2019. The last Canadian astronaut in space, Commander Chris Hadfield (who commanded the ISS in 2013), flew there in a Russian Soyuz rocket.\nThe Soyuz MS-09 spacecraft blasted off to the International Space Station from the launchpad at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan in June. (Shamil Zhumatov/Reuters)\nSince the end of NASA's Shuttle Program in 2011, Roscosmos has been the only option for moving people to the space station. The contract has been a lucrative source of money for Russia's space program, allowing the Putin government to continue working on new heavy-lift rockets with the aim of phasing out the 50-year-old Soyuz technology.\nThe hope is that Russia's new generation of rockets will be able to compete with soon-to-be-available privately owned spacecraft developed by U.S. companies such as Boeing and SpaceX.\nSaint-Jacques says that while economics matter, he believes space has been free of political retribution mostly because all sides agree mankind must keep pushing forward with exploration.\nCome December, astronaut David Saint-Jacques, middle, will be working on the International Space Station alongside Russian cosmonaut Oleg Kononenko, right, and American Anne McClain, left. (Pascal Dumont/CBC)\n\"I think there's something sacred about space,\" he said. \"There's something intrinsic about the fact we are not on Earth when we work.\"\n'An instant bond'\nCanada's focus in international missions at the space station has been looking at the effects of long-term weightlessness on the human body.\nDuring the coming mission, Saint-Jacques will be doing a bevy of medical experiments \u2014 including on himself \u2014 to examine, for example, the effect of space on bone mass. Saint-Jacques said that space can be very dangerous for the human body, and that he and his colleagues need to study its effects to prepare for longer missions in the future.\nCome December, Saint-Jacques will be jammed into the tiny capsule alongside 54-year-old Russian cosmonaut Oleg Kononenko, who'll be making his fourth trip to the International Space Station, and 39-year-old American Anne McClain.\nDuring recent training, David Saint-Jacques, right, Oleg Kononenko, middle, and Anne McClain, left, completed a drill testing their response to a hypothetical ammonia leak that forced them to evacuate the International Space Station. (Pascal Dumont/CBC)\nMcClain told CBC that the realities of working in cramped quarters for months at a time mean there's no room for politics.\n\"I think there is something magical and unique with the drive to explore,\" she said. Among astronauts, there's \"an instant bond.\"\nSaint-Jacques acknowledges political conversations do come up \u2014 and not everyone agrees \u2014 but he says no one ever lets their political beliefs get in the way of the mission or its objectives.\n\"It's our professional pride as space explorers that we daily demonstrate that we can work together.\"\nSaint-Jacques, who speaks English, French, Spanish and Japanese, started learning Russian not long after he was accepted into Canada's astronaut program nine years ago. In conversations with Roscosmos staff and trainers, he makes jokes and seems at ease with the language.\nThe Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center outside Moscow features a memorial to Soviet leader Vladimir Lenin. (Pascal Dumont/CBC)\nAlexei Darkin, a Russian mission specialist who's helping train Saint- Jacques in the lead-up to the mission, praised his ability to get along with the Russian members of the team.\n\"David is using his Russian language skills and doing very well,\" Darkin said. \"I don't think he will have any difficulties on the space station.\"",

        "raw_content": "The Indian Parent Cricket body has decided to invite all the former India captains to celebrate the occasion of country's '500th Test match' that will be played against New Zealand.\nIn what will be a historic occasion for Indian cricket, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), the parent Indian cricket body plans to invite all former India captains to celebrate the occasion of the country's 500th Test match. The match will be played against New Zealand in Kanpur from September 22.\nAccording to the Senior BCCI official and Director of the Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association (UPCA) Rajeev Shukla, several events are being organised by the BCCI as part of the celebrations to commemorate the occasion. Several key players including Kapil Dev, Ravi Shastri, Sunil Gavaskar, Sourav Ganguly, Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag are expected to grace the occasion. Interestingly, the controversial former captain, Mohammad Azharuddin is also invited for the Indian cricket team's historic 500th Test match and the former captain has accepted it. Azharuddin was imposed a life ban for his alleged involvement in match-fixing when the scandal first broke out in 2000. While Azhar had been acquitted by the court, the BCCI has so far avoided inviting him for official events.\nFor the toss, a specially minted silver coin with 500th Test embossed on it is being prepared. The BCCI and the UPCA are also preparing T-shirts with \u2018500th Test\u2019 written on it for thousands of under-privileged children, who will be present in the stadium on all Test match days.",

        "raw_content": "http://www.nytimes.com/2003/08/08/national/08WEAP.html\nIraq Arms Critic Reacts to Report on Wife\nBy DOUGLAS JEHL\nWASHINGTON, Aug. 7 \ufffd Joseph C. Wilson IV, a retired ambassador who was a secret envoy of the Bush administration to Africa and who publicly voiced doubts about a reported Iraqi weapons program, says he has become a target of a campaign to discourage others like him from going public.\nIn the prewar effort to uncover information about weapons in Iraq, Mr. Wilson made a fact-finding trip to Niger in February 2002 at the request of the Central Intelligence Agency. His findings challenged contentions in an unsubstantiated document that Iraq was trying to obtain nuclear-weapons material from the West African country.\nBut it was not until after Mr. Wilson made his account public last month in an op-ed article in The New York Times, to the intense discomfort of President Bush's aides, that the White House acknowledged that it had erred in including the disputed accusations in Mr. Bush's State of the Union address in January.\nDays after the column, another chapter opened. Mr. Wilson's wife was identified by name as a covert C.I.A. operative in a column by the conservative columnist Robert Novak, a disclosure that Mr. Novak has attributed to senior administration officials.\nOfficials are barred by law from disclosing the identities of Americans who work undercover for the C.I.A. That provision is intended to protect the security of operatives whose lives might be jeopardized if their identities are known.\nAmong those who have cried foul are several Democratic senators, including Charles E. Schumer of New York, who have said that if the accusation is true and if senior administration officials were its source, law enforcement authorities should seek to identify the officials who appeared to have violated the law. Mr. Schumer has asked Robert S. Mueller III, director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, to look into the case.\nMr. Wilson, who as charg\ufffd d'affaires in Baghdad in 1990 was the last American diplomat to meet President Saddam Hussein, said the events were evidence of distressing American heavy-handedness.\n\"The issue was never about her,\" Mr. Wilson said of his wife in a telephone interview on Wednesday. \"The issue was about who so badly staffed the president of the United States that they would put into a State of the Union address something that was so transparently unsubstantiable, and this from an administration that came to office saying it wanted to restore dignity and honor to the White House. It wasn't to intimidate me, because I'd already said my piece. Clearly, this was to keep others from stepping forward.\"\nWhite House officials have said they would not condone disclosing any undercover C.I.A. operative.\nIn the run-up to the war, Mr. Wilson appeared frequently on television as an expert on Iraq. He freely offered his opinion that the best American policy would be to postpone any war and focus on intense international inspections to find weapons of mass destruction.\nThat opinion certainly won him no friends in the administration, which was arguing that the moment for inspections had passed.\nThe fact that a retired American envoy had traveled to Niger to look into an Iraqi connection was acknowledged by the administration this year. But Mr. Wilson said he had decided to discuss his role publicly early last month after concluding that efforts by senior administration officials, including Condoleezza Rice, the national security adviser, to pass off his findings as having been shared just with low-ranking intelligence officials were \"simply inconsistent\" with the facts that he knew.\n\"It was pretty clear that it had gotten to the right people,\" Mr. Wilson said in the interview.\nThe deputy national security adviser, Stephen J. Hadley, has publicly taken responsibility for the inclusion in the State of the Union speech of 16 words that repeated the disputed reports about Iraq's efforts to obtain nuclear material from Niger.\nMr. Wilson, who had told the C.I.A. and the State Department after his visit that there was no basis for that report, said in the interview that he had \"tried to avoid taking a victory lap\" after his comments prompted the White House acknowledgments. But he had begun to speak out again, in television interviews including one on \"Today\" on NBC, \"until such time as you got those lowlifes over there deciding they would take some whacks at my wife.\"\nMr. Wilson's wife, Valerie Plame, is known to friends as an energy industry analyst. In the interview, Mr. Wilson said he had no doubt that those who sought to bring his wife into the controversy intended to sound a warning to others who might take on the White House on the charged issue of whether intelligence about Iraq was reshaped or ignored to fit a political agenda.\nMr. Novak cited administration officials as saying Mr. Wilson was chosen for the Niger mission because of Ms. Plame's connection to the Central Intelligence Agency.\nMr. Wilson said his qualifications \ufffd as an Africa expert, a former ambassador to Gabon and the senior director for African affairs on the staff of the National Security Council under President Bill Clinton \ufffd made him more than amply suited for the task.\nThe broad issue of whether intelligence information about Iraq, its weapons of mass destruction and ties to terrorism was subjected to undue influence is under investigation by the House and Senate Select Committees on Intelligence.\nAmong current intelligence analysts questioned by the committee staffs, just one, Christian P. Westermann of the State Department, has been identified by name as having said Mr. Wilson perceived political pressure in his work on Iraq. Some other former and current intelligence officials who have spoken to reporters have made broadly similar charges.\nMr. Wilson said the Niger trip was prompted by an inquiry from Vice President Dick Cheney to a C.I.A. briefer. The conclusion that there was no basis to the report on nuclear materials was also reached by the United States Embassy in Niamey, the capital, and by an American general who visited there about the same time.",

        "raw_content": "March 20, 2017 January 11, 2018 Kim Girard\nPhotos: Bruce Cook\nAfter an intense program of research projects, global internships, and competitions, 69 students in the Berkeley Master of Financial Engineering (MFE) Program graduated last Friday.\nGraduation speaker Howard Morgan, a renowned venture capitalist, philanthropist, and angel investor, said he was honored to be speaking to such a distinguished and lucky group of graduates.\n\u201cDistinguished in that I think this is best financial engineering program in the nation,\u201d he said during the ceremony at Andersen Auditorium. \u201cAnd lucky in that you are just at the start of an exciting career at a time when big data, deep learning, and changes in financial regulation that are going to affect the financial world in the next decades.\u201d\nLinda Kreitzman, executive director of the MFE Program, honored many of the students in the Class of 2017 during the ceremony, with both lighthearted recognitions (\u201cMost Innovative Eating\u201d went to Jae Sang Shim, for eating bread with a fork, and \u201cBest Dressed\u201d went to Maite Soubeyran), and more serious awards to three students, whom Kreitzman said did not let tremendous personal sorrow impact their success in the program.\nKreitzman praised the students for \u201cdoing all that we asked and beyond,\u201d and noted that the group raised the bar for the incoming class.\nAll of the students held internships, from New York to Hong Kong to London during the program, working in hedge funds, investment and commercial banking, asset management, and financial services. The majority will go on to work in the U.S. or London at such firms as Citadel, PIMCO, BlackRock, Squarepoint Capital, and Morgan Stanley.\n\u201cIt\u2019s an emotional time for us,\u201d Kreitzman said before the ceremony. \u201cWe do bond with our students. It\u2019s a class of 69 and there\u2019s a feeling that they are part of a family. I am always sad to see them leave but at the same time I am excited by what\u2019s awaiting them.\u201d\nDean Rich Lyons noted how transformative the MFE Program is, building the resilience required to move into an exciting industry that\u2019s continuously changing.\n\u201cYou\u2019ve been transformed in many ways,\u201d he said. \u201cPeople come up to me from this program and say when they got here they were thinking, \u2018other people do that\u2019 and now they\u2019re saying \u2018I do that, I could do that, I could choose to do that, it is available to me.\u2019 That is an identity change. That is not just more information or knowledge. Those are the things that are so valuable in life.\u201d\nStudent speaker Arsh Sood described the phases of the MFE: the first term, where the group bonded; followed by the second \u201ckiller term,\u201d where they pushed themselves to the limit. \u201cThe challenges we overcame in that term gave us the confidence and the strength to tackle anything we might face in the future,\u201d he said. During the third term, everyone had the opportunity to prepare to step into the world; in the final term, where they finally relaxed and had a little fun.\nSood expressed the class\u2019s gratitude to Kreitzman.\n\u201cYou left no stone unturned in making us what we are today, and you have always treated us like your children and guided us in the right direction,\u201d he said.\nThe graduation ceremony included many honors. Ming Li Chew, Sahil Puri, Arsh Sood, and Adam Wearne won the $5,000 Morgan Stanley Applied Finance project award for \u201cUsing Natural Language Processing Techniques for Stock Return Predictions.\u201d This capstone project requires all students to work in groups, and present to the faculty and the MFE steering committee.\nCheit Award for Excellence in Teaching: Prof. Martin Lettau, Kruttschnitt Family Chair in Financial Institutions in the Haas Finance Group\nOutstanding Graduate Student Instructor (GSI): Paulo Manoel\nDefining Principles awards:\n\u00b7 Students Always: Yihui Victoria Li\n\u00b7 Question the Status Quo: Tianyi Frank Xia\n\u00b7 Confidence without Attitude: Krishanu Nandy\n\u00b7 Beyond Yourself: Alexander Olson\nAward for the Embodiment of all Four Defining Principles: Robin Ferret, Adam Plantinga, Sahil Puri\nThe MFE Heart Award (for exceptional kindness in interactions with staff, students, and faculty): Kai Liu\nBerkeley-Haas Leadership Award (new award in collaboration with the Office of the Chief Investment Officer at the University of California Office of the President, UCOP): Juan Rassa\nAlumni awards (for outstanding teaching and service to the MFE Program): Craig Dana, MFE 2016 and Emmanuel Vallod, MFE 2011\nThe incoming MFE class, which arrived today, includes students from 16 countries, including Italy, Argentina, Colombia, Morocco, the UK, Singapore, India, China, and Mexico. The new group has three years of average work experience, the most (45 percent) in finance, followed by research & development, engineering, and consulting.\nKim Girard March 20, 2017 January 11, 2018",

This Letter teaches about the Last Things and the end of both our individual lives in death and of all history in the Second Coming.\nWe take the opportunity to preach five sermons on the Last Things: Heaven and Hell, Death and Judgement. First, we will consider the immensity of the soul and the vocation to Heaven, then death and the personal judgement, hell, purgatory, and heaven.\nThe human soul is a spiritual universe which is far more vast and beautiful than the natural universe in which we live.

        "raw_content": "Logan Ryan was born February 9, 1991 in Berlin. Growing up on the edge of the Pine Barrens in southeastern Camden County, he spent a lot of time outdoors as a boy and developed into a superb athlete. Logan played quarterback in youth football and continued his development as a passer for Eastern High in Voorhees. He played cornerback on defense for the Vikings and was an All-State selection at both CB and QB. College recruiters projected Logan as a four-star defensive back, and he accepted a scholarship to Rutgers.\nLogan started a handful of games as a freshman in 2010 for the Scarlet Knights, who finished last in the Big East under Greg Schiano. The following year, he picked off 3 passes, returning one for a touchdown, and was named 2nd Team All Big East. He was an important part of a turnaround 9\u20134 season. Logan\u2019s third year on the varsity\u2014under new coach Kyle Flood\u2014saw him intercept four passes and rank among the conference leaders with 59 solo tackles. He was named 1st Team All Big East, and earned All-America honors from Pro Football Weekly. The Scarlet Knights won the Big East title.\nLogan decided to go pro and was drafted in the third round by the New England Patriots. He started 13 games in his first two seasons, and scored his first NFL touchdown as a rookie with a 79-yard interception return against the Jets. He had a pair of sacks that year against the Dolphins and two INTs against the Ravens in the final game of the 2013 season. In 2014, he teamed with All-Pro Darrelle Revis to help the Pats win the AFC title and Super Bowl XLIX.\nLogan became New England\u2019s first-string right cornerback after Revis left and Tarell Brown was injured in 2015. He intercepted 4 passes and logged 58 tackles and was arguably their best pass defender. The Patriots went 12\u20134 but fell to the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship. Logan was flagged for a pass interference call on Demaryius Thomas, which extended Denver\u2019s opening TD drive. In the teams\u2019 previous meeting, Logan\u2019s coverage of the star receiver received high marks.\nLogan\u2019s work in the secondary with DB Duron Harmon was a big reason the Pats made it to the AFC title game in a season where there was considerable upheaval in Bill Belichick\u2019s secondary. They had played together at Rutgers and were reunited when New England drafted them back-to-back in 2013.",

        "raw_content": "At each psychic event, for over a decade, Norman Moody has made sure to make the event charitable by asking for donations, holding raffles, or otherwise benefitting local non-profits including:\nNew Horizons Food Pantry\nWhen Norm Says, \"Remember, You are The Winner.\"...What Does He Mean?\nMore often than not, either on Norm's TV show or when receiving a reading from him, at the end Norm almost always concludes with, \"Remember. You ARE The Winner.\"\nWhat does this mean? That we won a competition? That we beat somebody else? That we played the game the best? Are we put in first place? No, none of these things.\nWhen somebody acknowledges themselves as the winner, it is a self acknowledgement of their taking in the light. Their right to receive the light and love that comes from a source of goodness and righteousness. The birthright to self confidence. The knowing to let the light in, to open to possibilities, and to shine brightly. This makes you a spiritual winner.\nIn contrast to Norm saying \"You are the Winner\", you will also hear him talk about the \"pity pot\". This is the opposite of being the winner and acknowledging positive thoughts. Don't get it wrong, we all have our ups and downs and sometimes need to reflect on negativity and think our way out of problems - but it is important not to stay on the pity pot too long, so that we can once again receive the light and acknowledge our excellence in our own creation. The modern world may not want us to recognize our power within us, our self knowing. This is the dark and greedy side trying to win out your Spirit. Don't let it! Be the winner! Lift each other up through positive affirmation and brother and sisterhood so that together we can all be the winners and raise the light of consciousness here on Earth.",

But the meteorologists promised that spring is on its way, and soon.\n\u2018\u2019It is very cold throughout Scandinavia, colder than normal. Nor is it much like spring today, except that the sun is shining in several places. But spring will come soon,\u2019\u2019 said State Meteorologist,Terje Alsvik Wall\u00f8e.\nNew cold records were broken in several places in the mountains of southern Norway on the night to the first easter day. At Finse,it was close to minus 30 degrees.\nMarch was an unusually cold month, compared to the normal temperatures recorded for the years 1961 to 1990. The temperatures have generally been between 2 and 4 degrees below the norm.\n\u201cIt has been a special March. It is not often we can say that it has been colder than normal throughout Norway,\u201d said Wall\u00f8e.\nBut for those who miss the sun and warmer temperatures, already by Wednesday spring will come to southern Norway.\n\u201cWe are not talking about two-digit temperatures, but it will be between five and seven degrees towards the end of the week. It doesn\u2019t quite take off, but it will be ours,\u201d said the meteorologist.\nWestern Norway will have temperatures of five to eight degrees further in the week, while inland and central Norway will get the same.\nIn Northern Norway, however, it will take a little longer. In Nordland, Troms and Finnmark, the temperature will be just over zero, even in the middle of the day.\nThe climatological definition of spring is when the daytime temperature is above zero, and below ten degrees, and the temperature is rising.\nAccording to the meteorologist, this is what will happen from Wednesday,and there is also no indication that the spring will be short-lived.\n\u201cIt will be between five and ten degrees further on also, so it looks like spring is arriving. But we will probably not be near 20 degrees at first (as we can experience at this time of the year sometimes).\nAt Aukra in M\u00f8re and Romsdal, the snow clocks have been put forward, and snakes have appeared in Sogn and Fjordane.\nIn many places, motorcycles have come out, and on Good Friday, there were many people who started the boating season fully in Oslofjorden.\nGreat interest in climate law court case\nToward a new record in power consumption\nMan was promised drug treatment in Africa\nBe the first to comment on \"Next week, spring comes to southern Norway\"",

        "raw_content": "Gold: Home on the Range\n(April 20, 2004) The gold markets last week showed us some excitement \u2013 a drop of about $20 in 48 hours\u2019 time. The sudden move was invigorating, and brought out lots of bargain hunters - once they got over the shock. With inflation picking up, gold-buyers are looking for some protection.\nIt was on December 1, 2003 that gold breached the $400 price level for the first time in eight years, and by February 2004 was trading at $430, a level not seen since 1988. Since then, the range of gold prices has been $390-$428.\nthe current gold market show strong support at sub-$400 levels, and considerable selling in the $420s. Gold\u2019s current trading range is about five months old, with the typical patterns of a well-established price range.\nSo in our world of rolling dollar inflation, it can safely be said that gold prices are currently dormant.\nThe same can\u2019t be said about the material stuff of everyday life, which seems to be not merely increasing, but accelerating in price. And the \u2018official\u2019 annualized CPI rate of 5.1% seems laughingly understated to anyone who actually pays attention to consumer prices while shopping or paying bills.\nYet, the common perception of inflation today is, to say the least, a bit skewed, due in no small part to the Byzantine manner in which Washington manipulates the Consumer Price Index numbers to maintain the illusion that inflation (the devaluation of the dollar) simply isn\u2019t happening.\nMany of the popular media have swallowed that government line almost totally, as commodities maven Leonard Kaplan found recently:\n\u201cOn the front page of Sunday's Chicago Tribune was the following headline, \u201cPrices rising despite low inflation rate\u201d. I must admit that upon reading it, I chortled like a banshee being tickled. It was just too \u201cOrwellian\u201d, too much like reading the book 1984 where the psychology of the populace is engineered by the government by use of the language. So, I guess we don\u2019t have inflation, we just have rising prices. Next time I get caught by a policeman for speeding in my car, I will carefully explain that I was not speeding, I was just exceeding the posted limit. Wish me luck.\u201d\nFollowing the same Newspeak form, Mr. Kaplan goes on to say, \u201cI hereby state that I am not bullish on the gold price, I just expect prices to rise.\u201d\nBut we are starting to see media awareness that, yes, inflation is a factor today. \u201cHigher Prices Hit Home,\u201d the New York Times article was headlined last week. \u201cMiddle class, poor sense rising impact of inflation\u201d sub-headed the article, which related anecdotes of how higher prices for everything from gasoline to eggs to prom dresses was causing hardships for families on a budget. Louis Uchitille writes:\n\u201cThe inflation rate, barely noticeable for years, is rising again in the United States. Even if many American families have yet to curtail their spending, they are certainly annoyed.\u201d\nHere in Phoenix, Kenneth LaFave of the Arizona Republic wrote of higher lumber prices in his article of 4/19, \u201cLumber Prices Reach Sky High.\u201d Quoting Home Depot store manager Roger Winn on the price of \u201coriented-strand board\u201d (a substitute for plywood),\n\u201cA sheet of OSB that was $5.11 a year ago is now $19. But it\u2019s like gasoline, what are you going to do? People who started projects last year have to finish them. Where are they going to go?\u201d\nIn the same article, Chris Harrison of homebuilder Fulton Homes said, \u201cI\u2019ve never seen the cost of anything go up so dramatically. In the last two weeks, we\u2019ve seen almost a spike in lumber costs. There\u2019ve been increases in electrical, because copper\u2019s going up, and drywall costs more. But not as bad as lumber.\u201d\nCloser to home, we just received our own lesson in inflation this past week. For some time now, we have been contracting with a common carrier to transport loads, varying from 2,000 to 8,000 pounds of a low-grade silver ore, to a neighboring state to be crushed and assayed. For calendar year 2004 so far, shipping charges have been a consistent 16c per pound, with a 4% \u2018fuel surcharge.\u2019 That added surcharge, though new this year, seemed fair enough, since oil prices are definitely up lately.\nBut this past Tuesday the same carrier quoted us a new rate - 24c per pound, a full 50% increase. I asked the clerk to re-check his quote. No, he came back, that was correct, the new cost for this 400-mile trip is now 24c per pound.\nOh, and he mentioned that we shouldn\u2019t forget that there was a 4% fuel surcharge on top of that. \u201cOil prices are up, you know,\u201d he cheerfully informed.\nOur conclusion is, as always, gold. Gold is the perfect antidote to inflation.\nAs Don Stott recently stated, \u201cTo realize that your \"money,\" which you have so assiduously saved for a rainy day, is rapidly becoming mere pieces of paper with no purchasing power, is enough to give one nightmares.\u201d\nThe cure for nightmares, is, of course, to wake up. Wake up and realize that inflation, while never really \u2018barely noticeable\u2019 over the past decade or so, is now so obviously on the rise that even the popular media are starting to acknowledge it.\nAnd wake up to the fact that to swap some of your faith-and-credit-based currency for gold is simply to bring part of your wealth back to the world of tangible reality.",

        "raw_content": "Donald Trump\u2019s strong-dollar weakness\nDespite today\u2019s dollar appreciation, a weakening greenback may be in store over the long term. Far from making America great again, Donald Trump seems to be hastening its economic decline\nWhile a strong dollar exchange rate might appeal to Donald Trump\u2019s ego, it doesn\u2019t necessarily serve his broader agenda. Photo: Reuters\nHaving gained more than 8% in value since the start of the year, the US dollar is nearing highs not seen in more than a decade, and market indicators point to even more appreciation in the coming months.\nAt first blush, this would seem to vindicate US President Donald Trump, who came to office pledging to \u201cMake America Great Again\u201d. A stronger dollar could be taken to mean that his pro-growth economic policies are working. Yet a closer look shows that matters are more complicated; in fact, Trump could precipitate a great decline in the dollar.\nFor starters, it is not at all clear that Trump can take much credit for the dollar\u2019s appreciation. But even if he could, a strong greenback is not necessarily good for his policy objectives; nor is the exchange rate even an accurate measure of the currency\u2019s true strength.\nThe Trump administration would like us to believe that the dollar\u2019s rise reflects faster growth, driven by the president\u2019s agenda of deregulation, massive tax cuts, and substantially expanded defence spending. After years of mismanagement, we are told, the government has now succeeded in restoring business confidence; America is finally living up to its potential.\nBut most knowledgeable economists would attribute the dollar\u2019s appreciation to rising interest rates. In an effort to head off inflation, the US Federal Reserve has already increased its federal funds rate twice this year, and signalled two more increases before the end of 2018. When US interest rates rise, more investment capital flows in, driving up demand for the dollar. And right now, money is pouring into the US from every corner of the globe.\nThe situation today is not unlike that of Trump\u2019s Republican predecessors. Former presidents Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush also each cut taxes sharply, resulting in budget deficits that prompted the Fed to raise interest rates. In each case, the dollar appreciated dramatically (by as much as 60% under Reagan between 1981 and 1985). Today, the Fed is once again acting independently to ward off the inflationary effect of fiscal expansion. Thus, if anyone should take credit for the dollar\u2019s appreciation, it is the Fed.\nNevertheless, one can imagine Trump saying that weaker currencies are for \u201closers\u201d. And he may brag about the soaring dollar in his ongoing confrontation with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan, whose country\u2019s own currency has fallen by almost 60% since the start of the year. But while a strong dollar exchange rate might appeal to Trump\u2019s ego, it doesn\u2019t necessarily serve his broader agenda.\nAfter all, a strengthening dollar increases the price of exports abroad and lowers the domestic cost of imports, thus discouraging the former and encouraging the latter. That is directly at odds with Trump\u2019s stated goal of reducing the US trade deficit.\nTrump\u2019s obsession with the trade deficit has led him to impose import tariffs on steel, aluminium, and a wide range of products from China. But, ironically, more expensive imports will also put upward pressure on the domestic inflation rate, which could force the Fed to raise interest rates even faster than planned. That, in turn, would produce still more dollar appreciation and even bigger trade deficits, as happened under Reagan and Bush.\nFinally, one must remember that short-term movements in foreign exchange markets are no way to judge a currency\u2019s underlying strength. Longer-term trends in how a currency is used internationally\u2014particularly as a store of value for foreign investors or central banks\u2014are far more telling.\nFor decades, no currency has been more widely used than the dollar. Owing to its dominance, the US has long enjoyed what former French president Val\u00e9ry Giscard d\u2019Estaing famously described as an \u201cexorbitant privilege\u201d. As long as foreigners are hungry for dollars, the US can spend whatever it needs to project power around the world. To pay for it all, it need only turn on the printing press.\nBut Trump\u2019s belligerent policies are putting this privileged position at risk. His protectionist promise to put \u201cAmerica first\u201d smacks of xenophobic nationalism, and his bullying use of tariffs is alienating friends and foes alike. The longer he maintains such policies, the more likely it is that markets will gradually move toward alternatives to the dollar. Eventually, the dollar would slowly bleed out, and America\u2019s exorbitant privilege and global influence would evaporate.\nAs it happens, China has already convinced Russia to accept the renminbi as payment for natural gas, where once it made such purchases only in dollars. And, more recently, China has started preparing the way for purchases of imported crude oil in renminbi. For example, earlier this year, it launched a new oil futures market in Shanghai, which seems intended to establish a renminbi-denominated price benchmark alongside Brent and West Texas Intermediate crude. If successful, the Shanghai market could trigger a shift of payments for other traded commodities as well\u2014all at the dollar\u2019s expense.\nLikewise, a number of countries are looking for ways to circumvent the Trump administration\u2019s sanctions on Iranian oil producers. India, for example, already pays for some Iranian oil with commodities rather than dollars. And both Russia and China have been investing heavily in gold to reduce their reliance on dollar-denominated reserves. Between them, the two countries have already bought some 10% of all the gold available on the world market.\nSo, despite today\u2019s dollar appreciation, a weakening greenback may be in store over the long term. Far from making America great again, Trump seems to be hastening its economic decline.\nBenjamin J.

        "title": "Celebrity Sexologists! - Paula Tiberius",
        "raw_content": "Dr. Ava Cadell is one of my favorite people \u2013 a friend and a client. She\u2019s also America\u2019s #1 sexpert, and one of the most-filmed and most-quoted sexology pros in her field, always appearing on television giving advice on how to have better relationships and sex. We travel around the world together on her speaking tours, and I edited her latest book, Neuroloveology. She trains and mentors many up and coming sexologists, but this weekend I got to meet some of her peers.\nWe worked the CatalystCon convention here in L.A. where the American College of Sexologists International (of which Ava is the president) was a sponsor. We filmed dozens of sexologists talking about their practices and fields of expertise, and met some fascinating people, all determined to make better sex and \u201calternative\u201d sex practices more accepted and mainstream.\nThe final keynote address featured four famous feminist sexologists who spoke about their experience in the nascent porn scene of the 1970\u2019s in New York City, and their life-long group friendship that they call Club 90, named after the street address of an apartment they met at regularly.\nYours truly with the queens of sex & feminism! Veronica Vera, Jane Hamilton, Annie Sprinkle and Candida Royalle.\nAnnie Sprinkle \u2013 Ecosexual!\nThe first thing I ever heard about Annie Sprinkle was that she did a live interactive show where she put a speculum into her vagina and invited people up on stage to look inside at her cervix. She was one of the reasons I took a feminist film course at University, and I\u2019ve always admired her brazen, brothel-Madame style. She\u2019s says fuck you to society\u2019s uptight sexual \u2018norms,\u2019 but in such a boob-shaking adorable way that even the most fearful individual would have to come away feeling loved. Her new thing is Eco-Sex, where she and her artist-professor partner Elizabeth Stephens are \u201cchanging the metaphor from \u2018earth as mother\u2019 to \u2018earth as lover\u2019.\u201d How brilliant is that? They are the \u2018ecosexuals,\u2019 joining the forces of art, theory, practice and activism to make environmentalism sexier. Let\u2019s all join in, because mountain top removal and fracking are NOT sexy!\nAnnie Sprinkle in one of her educational peep shows from back in the day.\nDr. Ava Cadell and Candida Royalle at CataylstCon.\nCandida Royalle is the feminist erotic filmmaker. She pioneered the concept of women-centric porn and continues to create it, develop it, and make it better and more inclusive with her company Femme Productions, which produces \u2018sensually explicit\u2019 movies, in her words. It was fascinating to listen to her talk about her struggles with reconciling feminism and pornography while so many women\u2019s movement advocates were just against it completely in the 60\u2019s \u2013 and let\u2019s face it \u2013 now.\nI always imagined she just ignored all that pressure, but being a woman was different then, and we needed determined people like Ms. Royalle to pave the way for a space that lets women enjoy \u2018dirty\u2019 movies. I don\u2019t know that anyone could carry the torch quite that high, but it was hopeful to hear her say that she felt like she\u2019d done her job to see a room full of people continuing the legacy of her work.\nHer latest giant project is a documentary about her life, directed by my friend Sheona MacDonald, who began creating a doc about porn, quickly setting her sights on an untold story that will be riveting. Click on the picture to read all about it:\nNew documentary in the works \u2013 please give to help them get it made!\nJane is a warm friend and a wonderful actress, also known as Veronica Hart. I saw her in a play called Deep Throat Sex Scandal recently, which I blogged about here. She\u2019s always off to China on trips where she teaches sexuality and intimacy for YuNa\u2019s company D\u2019Eros. She has produced and directed over thirty of her own award-winning feature films, and has been inducted into all the halls of fame in the industry! A true legend, and a great person.\nDr. Ava with Jane Hamilton aka Veronica Hart\nJane, along with the other Club 90 gals, received an honorary Doctorate from the Institute For Advanced Study of Human Sexuality. She\u2019s starting a new venture called \u201cBetter With Age,\u201d where she focuses on love and sex for couples over forty. Looking forward to linking to it here!\nVeronica Hart as the judge in Boogie Nights.\nI have read that the character played by Julianne Moore was based on Jane\u2019s life. I\u2019ll have to ask her if that\u2019s true. She\u2019s also played in other mainstream film and television like Six Feet Under.\nI discovered Veronica Vera when I was researching cross-dressing and gender fluidity years ago. She started the first school dedicated to men who want to \u2018cherchez la femme\u2019 within themselves. It\u2019s called Miss Vera\u2019s Finishing School For Boys Who Want To Be Girls. Most of her students are straight men looking to express their female side, but she gets people of all kinds, including a lot of women who take the \u2018how to walk in high heels\u2019 class. I could use that.\nWho wouldn\u2019t want to learn how to be a woman from THIS woman? Sign me up!\n\u201cFor every woman who burned her bra, there\u2019s a man ready to wear one\u201d says Miss Vera on her site, citing that up to 6% of men wish to cross-dress, and that they want to be liberated.\nVeronica Vera and Annie Sprinkle. I really felt like I was in the presence of royalty. Feminist, sexy royalty.\nVeronica was the only person at the conference as far as I could tell who actually shocked a crowd. Maybe shocked is too strong a word, after all this group is pretty kinky, but when she was telling a story about being barely twenty and learning about every fetish one could have, at one point she said, \u201cShit \u2013 it smells worse than it tastes\u201d \u2013 and the room fell silent. That was the moment I decided that she is the most awesome woman I\u2019ve ever met. Who can wow a group of jaded sexologists with a shit-eating grin and still be the most glamorous woman in the room? Miss Vera, that\u2019s who.\nI was thrilled to be the one to tell her that Pin-up Girl Clothing (from whom she ordered her fabulous dress online) has a brick and mortar store in the valley on Magnolia. Yay! Hopefully she\u2019ll get to check it out before she goes back to NYC. I also chatted with her about my own women\u2019s \u2018support\u2019 group and told her how much ass we\u2019re kicking, and how we\u2019re thinking of marketing the idea. She gave me her card and said to let her know if we needed any help. I kept my delighted squeal to myself! After all, I was in the presence of the Dean of a finishing school \u2013 hello!\nThere were other big highlights for me at the CatalystCon conference, besides getting to work with Ava and Mike McCormick in the filming room all day. I got to hang out with Elle Chase a lot. She is my pal and recent creator of the LA Academy of Sex. She helped us find people to film, made us laugh, and just generally brought more fun to the whole weekend.\nMe and Elle Chase, aka The Lady Cheeky, aka awesome!\nI must also mention Dr. Susan Block, who is a fabulous dresser, and one of those people who just oozes sensuality from her pores. She helps people explore their sexuality at her Institute for the Erotic Arts & Sciences which is an internationally renowned center for sex exploration, expression, education, investigation and therapy, founded in 1991. She\u2019s also got a new book coming out called The Bonobo Way, where she tells all about what we can learn from bonobo primates. They use sex to diffuse violence in their society and the females run the show. If only we could make that happen for humans! Dr. Block is leading the way.\nI was also very impressed with Emily Lindin of the Unslut Project. She screened a rough cut of her documentary on Thursday evening, about the horrific \u2018slut shaming\u2019 that girls and women endure, and the low self-esteem and suicides it\u2019s causing. It must be stopped, and she\u2019s the one to do it. I can\u2019t wait to see the film. One of the producers is the fabulous Robert James, who we shared a filming room with. So of course on the second day I gave Robert a copy of my band Fuck Y\u2019all\u2019s \u2018Dumb it Down\u2019 on red vinyl, put out by Tina and my record company, Slutty Records, and a copy of my movie Goldirocks, which was constantly being criticized for having an unsympathetic \u2018slutty\u2019 protagonist. I am way beyond shaming of that kind at this point, but I will fight for any woman who doesn\u2019t like any label that gets slapped on her. You go, Emily! Stay tuned for more blogs about that upcoming film and ongoing project.\nEmily Lindin. What kind of an asshole would call her a slut at age 11 and make her feel terrible about herself? It makes me so mad!!!\nRobert James is also filming a documentary about Ted McIlvenna, the founder of the American College of Sexologists International. I met him for the first time at the conference and he is amazing. He speaks seven languages, and told me in Arabic that \u201cmy father must have dipped his cock in honey before making me.\u201d Well, then, I made an impression. He also gave me two amazing vintage porn posters including Hot & Saucy Pizza Girls, pictured below! He\u2019s a spry 82 years old and houses a huge collection of vintage porn and erotic art as part of his Institute for Advanced Study in Human Sexuality, which seems to be the epicenter for sexual knowledge.\nNow we can add CatalystCon to that list. What a weekend.",

        "raw_content": "This weekend, my parish here in NYC -- the Church of St. Paul the Apostle on Manhattan's West Side -- has been celebrating the final days of the Catholic Church's \"Special Jubilee Year to the Apostle Paul.\"\nFriday evening, the celebration at St. Paul's included a reading of the entire text of Saint Paul's Letters to the Colossians. Saturday (really Sunday) at midnight, the parish began an all-night Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.\nAlong with other young adults, fellow parishioners and guests, I attended the adoration from midnight to 2 a.m. Fr. Stan Fortuna, C.F.R., led us during those hours with song and reflections.\nToday, St. Paul's is having special Masses at 11 a.m. and 5:15 p.m. -- both to be followed by parish socials. I'm assuming that the Gospel readings proclaimed at these Masses may be the passage designated for the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul (which falls on Monday).\nMost Catholics, however, will hear proclaimed this Sunday at Mass a very powerful Gospel passage in which two Jewish women are healed through the power of Christ. It's such an important passage I did not want to miss the opportunity to post it here.\nWhen Jesus had crossed again in the boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around him, and he stayed close to the sea.\nOne of the synagogue officials, named Jairus, came forward. Seeing him he fell at his feet and pleaded earnestly with him, saying, \"My daughter is at the point of death. Please, come lay your hands on her that she may get well and live.\"\nHe went off with him, and a large crowd followed him and pressed upon him.\nThere was a woman afflicted with hemorrhages for twelve years. She had suffered greatly at the hands of many doctors and had spent all that she had. Yet she was not helped but only grew worse.\nShe had heard about Jesus and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak. She said, \"If I but touch his clothes, I shall be cured.\"\nImmediately her flow of blood dried up. She felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction.\nJesus, aware at once that power had gone out from him, turned around in the crowd and asked, \"Who has touched my clothes?\"\nBut his disciples said to Jesus, \"You see how the crowd is pressing upon you, and yet you ask, 'Who touched me?'\"\nAnd he looked around to see who had done it.\nThe woman, realizing what had happened to her, approached in fear and trembling. She fell down before Jesus and told him the whole truth.\nHe said to her, \"Daughter, your faith has saved you. Go in peace and be cured of your affliction.\"\nWhile he was still speaking, people from the synagogue official's house arrived and said, \"Your daughter has died; why trouble the teacher any longer?\" Disregarding the message that was reported, Jesus said to the synagogue official, \"Do not be afraid; just have faith.\"\nHe did not allow anyone to accompany him inside except Peter, James, and John, the brother of James.\nWhen they arrived at the house of the synagogue official, he caught sight of a commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly.\nSo he went in and said to them, \"Why this commotion and weeping? The child is not dead but asleep.\"\nAnd they ridiculed him. Then he put them all out.\nHe took along the child's father and mother and those who were with him and entered the room where the child was.\nHe took the child by the hand and said to her, \"Talitha koum,\" which means, \"Little girl, I say to you, arise!\"\nThe girl, a child of twelve, arose immediately and walked around. At that they were utterly astounded.\nHe gave strict orders that no one should know this and said that she should be given something to eat.\nFran has an excellent reflection on this passage at the Parish Blog of St. Edward the Confessor.\nThe image above depicts St. Paul prior to his beheading by sword. It is a detail of \"The Martyrdom of St. Paul\" by the American impressionist Robert Reid (1862-1929). The painting is on the wall at southwest end of the nave of the Church of St. Paul the Apostle in NYC. St. Paul's is the mother church of the Paulist Fathers.",

The province was named after Manuel L. Quezon, the second President of the Philippines, and its capital is Lucena City.\nQuezon is southeast of Metro Manila and is bordered by the provinces of Aurora to the north, Bulacan, Rizal, Laguna and Batangas to the west and the provinces of Camarines Norte and Camarines Sur to the east. Part of Quezon lies on an isthmus connecting the Bicol Peninsula to the main part of Luzon. The province also includes the Polillo Islands in the Philippine Sea.\nA major tourism draw to the province is Mount Banahaw. The mountain is surrounded by spiritual mysticism with many cults and religious organizations staying on the mountain. Numerous pilgrims visit the mountain especially during Holy Week.\nQuezon Provincial Capitol Building\nOriginally, what now forms Quezon was divided among the provinces of Batangas, Laguna, and Nueva Ecija. The first European to explore the area was Juan de Salcedo in 1571-1572, during his expedition from Laguna to Camarines provinces.\nIn 1591, the province was created and called Kaliraya or Kalilayan, after the capital town which later became Unisan. In 1749, the capital was transferred to the town of Tayabas, from which the province got its new name.\nDepredation and plunder by the Moros were rampant during the Spanish regime, because they opposed the colonizers, especially in their efforts to spread Christianity. The destruction of Kalilayan in 1604 by a big fleet of Moro pirates caused the inhabitants to transfer to Palsabangon (Pagbilao).\nHowever, even the colonized people grew discontented with the Spaniards over the centuries. The most important event in the history of the province was the Confradia Revolt in 1841, which was led by the famous Lucbano, Apolinario de la Cruz, popularly known as Hermano Pule. The province, under General Miguel Malvar, was also among the earliest to join the Philippine Revolution. The Revolutionary Government took control over the province on August 15, 1898.\nThe Americans then came and annexed the Philippines. A civil government was established in the province on March 12, 1901, and Lucenawas made the provincial capital in 1910.\nJapanese occupation of the province during World War II began on December 23, 1941, when the Japanese Imperial Army landed inAtimonan. The occupation witnessed the brutal murders of prominent sons of Tayabas. April 4, 1945 was the day the province was liberated as the combined Filipino and American army forces reached Lucena.\nAfter the war, on September 7, 1946, Republic Act No. 14 changed the name Tayabas to Quezon, in honor of Manuel L. Quezon, theCommonwealth president who hailed from Baler, which was one of the province's towns.\nIn 1951, the northern part of Quezon was made into the sub-province of Aurora (which included Baler). Aurora was the name of the president's wife, Aurora Quezon. In 1979, Aurora was separated from Quezon as an independent province.\nQuezon is the country's leading producer of coconut products such as coconut oil and copra. A large part of the province is covered in coconut plantations. Other major crops are rice, corn, banana, and coffee. Fishing is also a large part of the province's economy.\nSOURCE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quezon\nMEMBERS FROM CITIES IN QUEZON\nColmaxsteel\nCipherjar\nQZ, Philippines - Wow City - WowCity.com Shopping Guide Free Classifieds Coupons News Travel",

        "raw_content": "As discussed in the theory post below. Here are the data from the re-weld of the Mosin magazine, for the .45-70 conversion.\nTo facilitate re-welding, a simple re-weld jig was manufactured from an old brass punch. The punch was milled to size, the main dimension being the width at the rear of the magazine well, the minor dimension being the width of the rear section minus one half the width of the front section. The middle section of the magazine side wall was cut out. Only one side at a time was re welded to preserve geometry and spacial relation of the parts. The middle section of the magazine side wall was cut out, using the \"dimple\" as a guide.\nFigure 1: Right side of the magazine set up for welding. The middle section has been cut, and tack welded to the front housing. The minor dimension of the re-weld jig is then used to tack weld the top an bottom of the middle section at the cut line. Note that the gap is quite large, about 1-2mm, since a small amount of the cut out side plate is overlapped with the front of the housing. Having a brass jig is critical for spanning and filling in the gap with weld!\nFigure 2: Left side being set up for welding. The middle section has been cut, and the jig inserted, the major dimension of the jig is used. The left side plate is then welded in and ground smooth. Note that the distinctive \"dimple\" that creates the stepped width of the Mosin magazine well, has effectively been moved to the front of the assembly, using this procedure.\nFigure 3: The right side is finished next. Use the brass jig to support the side wall for the re-weld. Note the ground tack weld on the top.\nThis procedure is effective, and allows the Mosin magazine to accept and cycle the .45-70 cartridge unhindered. It should be noted that a minor amount of warping was observed. This is most likely due to lack of welding experience and an incorrect approach. Next attempt the weld bead will be run in small sections, alternating between the front and rear beads.\nSam McGrath December 16, 2017 at 12:15 AM\nI'm throughly enjoying this build! As far as the warping, your on the right track. It's like auto body work, you don't run beads, but instead do a series of tacks, letting things cool as much as possible. Keep making tacks untill you've filled the entire area. The hardest part (especially for me, lol) is not going too fast, it's one of those things where the slower the better. -Sam",

        "title": "Pharology - Lighthouses of Antiquity - A07",
        "raw_content": "A07: Broader Influences\nIn 1900, Renard [17] wrote, \u201cThe oldest known towers are those built by the Lybiens (Libyans) and by the Cushites who lived in the provinces of Lower Egypt. They served as lookout points by day and as lighthouses by night.\u201d They were also temples and sacrifices were made in them. They were held in high regard by seamen. The inner walls were supposed to be engraved with charts and the lightkeepers were priests who also taught seamanship, pilotage, astronomy and hydrography. The lights were provided by wood fires that burned in iron braziers in the form of interlaced dolphins suspended from the towers with long poles. Renard\u2019s source of evidence for this conclusion is not known.\nRenard also stated that the Greeks attributed the first lighthouse to Hercules. According to tradition, he inaugurated a lighthouse at the modern site in northwestern Spain known as La Coruna. Even today, the lighthouse is known as the Tour d\u2019Hercules, as well as the Iron Tower \u2013 it is made of stone - or Tour de Fer, the latter possibly due to confusion of fer (French for iron) with faro (Spanish for lighthouse) or with Ferrol, the nearby town. Hercules 'composed a lamp burning continually day and night without putting of anything thereto, which burned afterwards the space of 300 years. Moreover, upon the pinnacle or top of the tower he made an image of copper looking into the sea, and gave him in his hand a looking-glass having such virtue' that hostile warships could be detected as they approached. But, according to the story, an enemy, knowing this, camouflaged his galleys with green boughs so that only trees appeared in the glass: thus he seized the tower without warning and destroyed the lamp and mirror. This popular idea whereby enemy vessels could be detected at distances several hundred miles was also ascribed to the Pharos as Stevenson [24] relates:\n\u201cThe magic power which produced such an extraordinary effect was supposed to lie within a mirror on the top of the tower and it is certainly not impossible that a kind of camera obscura could be constructed with mirrors which would show ships at a distance of 25 miles. According to another story, the tower contained mirrors which made its fire visible to ships at a distance of 100 miles. But though mirrors could increase the candlepower of oil lamps, if such were used, and extend their effective range to a degree that would appear astounding to the ancients, they could not extend the direct visibility of either a wood fire or an oil lamp beyond the geographical range limited by the height of the tower. Perhaps the reflection in the sky of the lighthouse fire during some uncommon atmospheric condition accounted for the phenomenon. No writer who mentions the mirrors appears to have seen them: it was said that they had been destroyed by 'the intriguing arts of the Christians' or had been seized and removed while the captain of the port was attending a feast on board a vessel pretending to be friendly.\u201d\nSuch stories illustrate another concept important to lighthouses much later in history, for ancient peoples understood many properties of mirrors, and might have used them to intensify the lights in lighthouses. A Roman historian declared that about 212 BC, during the siege of Syracuse, Archimedes destroyed an enemy fleet by using mirrors at the distance of an arrow's flight to direct and concentrate the sun's heat rays on the ships' timbers, thus setting them on fire.\nIt is possible that the legend of Hercules has some basis in fact, although its assignment to La Coruna is considered inaccurate. There is no indication that the Phoenicians used this location for anything other than temporary shelter. It is fairly certain that the Romans initiated a lightstructure here, the site called Julio Briga, but this would have been at least a thousand years after any event associated with Hercules. If a human called Hercules ever did build a lightstructure, it seems likely to have occurred in southwestern Spain.\nAccording to Renard [17], the Lybiens (sic) called their towers \u2018tor\u2019 or \u2018tar\u2019, which meant both \u2018high\u2019 and \u2018tower\u2019. Fire was referred to as \u2018is\u2019 and joining these two words we get \u2018tor-is\u2019, or \u2018fire tower\u2019. This word crossed into Greek and thence into Roman as \u2018turris\u2019 where it was used generally to mean \u2018tower\u2019. Thus, it is regarded from this account that the first lightstructures could be described as \u2018fire-towers\u2019 and, indeed, many ancient lights are referred to with this term. Of course, it should be remembered that fire towers were often associated with defensive military structures at the entrances to ports, and would not have been lit during periods of hostility in case it aided the enemy.\nIn the two millennia spanning the birth of Christ, lighthouses were indeed better described as 'fire towers'. Of the lightstructure built in 1480 on the top of Fort Qait Bey, itself situated on the foundations of the Pharos, Hague [23] writes: \u201cIt is possible that this building was the architectural inspiration for all the minarets which rose in the wake of the Muslim conquests in Europe.\u201d He suggested it could even be the root of the Arabic word minaret, which means a 'place where fire burns'\u201d. This gives us a clue that other cultures embraced the idea of a lighthouse, although these suggestions are clearly founded well after the birth of Christ. The Muslim faith commenced with the prophet Mohammed in 600 AD and apart from the suggestion of Renaud, there is no other evidence of Arab peoples building lightstructures.",

        "raw_content": "Recreational architecture\nFew recreations require architecture until they become institutionalized and must provide for both active and passive participation (athletic events, dramatic, musical performances, etc.) or for communal participation in essentially private luxuries (baths, museums, libraries). Throughout history, recreational architecture has been the most consistent in form of any type. Diversions may change, but, as in domestic architecture, the physical makeup of the human being provides consistency. If his participation is passive he must be able to hear and to see in comfort. If his participation is active, he must be given spaces suited to the chosen activity. In most cultures, recreational institutions have their origins in religious rites, but they easily gain independence, and religious expression is reduced or eliminated in their architecture.\nTheatres originated in ancient Greece with the rites of the god Dionysus, first as temporary installations and later as outdoor architecture using the natural slope and curves of hillsides to bring the spectator close to the stage and to avoid the need for substructures. The Greek theatre was monumentalized and modified by the Romans, whose arches and vaults allowed construction of sloping seats from level foundations. In the Middle Ages churches and temporary structures were used for dramatic purposes, and in the Renaissance the form of the Roman theatre was occasionally revived (Andrea Palladio's Teatro Olimpico in Vicenza, Italy). The 17th-century development of opera, drama, and ballet in Europe brought about a revival of theatre building but in a new form conceived to satisfy class and economic distinctions (e.g., the Teatro Farnese in Parma, Italy; Residenztheater, in Munich). A flat or inclined pit accommodated standing patrons, tiers of boxes rose vertically above in a horseshoe plan, and permanent covering (for both acoustics and comfort) made artificial lighting an important feature in theatrical performances. While the modern theatre has been greatly improved in efficiency by new acoustical methods and materials, it also has kept much of the Baroque form. However, it provides seating throughout and usually substitutes sloping galleries (into which the unprivileged have been moved) for boxes. The motion picture has had little effect on theatre design (see THEATRICAL PRODUCTION:History of theatres and staging ).\nAuditoriums.\nThe auditorium is distinguished by the absence of stage machinery and by its greater size. The development of large symphony orchestras and choirs and of the institution of lectures and mass meetings combined with growing urban populations to produce this modification of the theatre.\nSport arenas, racetracks, and public swimming pools of the present day owe their origin to the ancient Romans (though certain precedents can be found in Crete and Greece). Although the classical tradition of sports was broken from the early Middle Ages to the 19th century, even the design of arenas and tracks has been scarcely altered from the Colosseum and Circus Maximus, though the construction of large grandstands has inspired magnificent designs in reinforced concrete (stadiums at Florence, Helsinki, and the Universidad Nacional Aut\u00f3noma de M\u00e9xico). Sports that have no precedents in antiquity, such as baseball, have required modifications in design but have not been important for architecture. (see also Index: sports and games)\nMuseums and libraries.\nMuseum and library architecture was also an innovation of classical antiquity (library architecture appears independently in ancient China and Japan). Early examples are found on the acropolis of Hellenistic Pergamum and in Roman Ephesus. Museums were not cultivated in the Middle Ages, and libraries were incorporated into monasteries. In the Renaissance and Baroque periods, library construction like Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach's Hofbibliothek in the Hofburg, Vienna, was rare, but important civic buildings were designed within religious institutions (Michelangelo's Biblioteca Laurenziana in Florence) and universities (Sir Christopher Wren's Trinity College Library, Cambridge; James Gibbs' Radcliffe Camera, Oxford). This type of architecture became truly communal for the first time in the 19th century, when the size of library collections and the number of visitors inspired some of the finest architecture of the modern period (Michael Gottlieb Bindesb\u00f8ll's Thorvaldsen Museum, Copenhagen; Sir Robert Smirke's British Museum in London; Henri Labrouste's Biblioth\u00e8que Sainte-Genevi\u00e8ve in Paris; Alvar Aalto's library in Viipuri, Finland; Frank Lloyd Wright's Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City).",

In 1972, Vail continued the vision by purchasing the land and beginning a detailed planning process. Before the resort was opened, it was named as a site for the 1976 Olympics, but political pressure in Denver kept the Vail Valley from realizing this dream. Construction continued, and on December 15, 1980, Beaver Creek opened to the public.\nBeaver Creek Resort is the product of an uncompromised master plan that once envisioned a unique combination of mountain and village environments. Designed as a premier, year-round mountain destination, Beaver Creek successfully fuses western hospitality (found both on the mountain and amid the lodge's courteous staff) with the European charm of a pedestrian village.\nMajor events have always found a home at Beaver Creek. In 1989, the resort hosted the World Ski Championships. In 1997, village-to-village skiing opened as Bachelor Gulch was joined to the Beaver Creek, and construction began on a new downhill course. The Birds of Prey\u2122, respected as one of the three most difficult World Cup descents, then opened in time for the return of the World Ski Championships in 1999, and in 2000, Beaver Creek celebrated 20 years of outstanding contributions to skiing, snowboarding, and resort excellence.\nBeaver Creek Mountain has always been designed to accommodate skiers of all ability levels, and the resort is well known for its unique diversity, exceptional snow quality, and award-winning ski and snowboard school. An accommodating design has proven timeless, and today the mountain is enjoyed by a variety of both winter and summer sports enthusiasts. We hope you can join us for the next 25 years of outstanding recreation and service!\nLooking for more options in Beaver Creek? Visit www.beavercreekresortproperties.com",

        "raw_content": "Three Factors to Consider When Making Charitable Gifts\nThe holiday season is here, which means gift-giving is probably on your mind. In addition to making gifts to your family and friends, you also may be interested in contributing to charitable organizations. But before you donate financial assets, such as stocks, you will need to consider several factors, including taxes, your portfolio balance and the reputation of the charity.\nLet's look at these areas:\nTaxes: Your donations to qualified charities (those that are considered 501(c)(3) organizations by the Internal Revenue Service) can give you tax deductions \u2013 if you itemize deductions on your tax return. However, due to recent tax law changes, the standard deduction for 2018 has almost doubled, to $24,000 for married couples, and to $12,000 for single filers. As a result, you may be less likely to itemize deductions, so you could have less incentive, at least for tax reasons, to make charitable gifts. However, if you give appreciated stocks, you may be allowed a charitable deduction for the full fair market value of the gift on the date of the transfer, even if your original cost was only a fraction of today's value. Plus, you may not be subject to the capital gains tax you might have to pay if you eventually sold the stocks.\nAlso, depending on your age, you might be able to use your traditional IRA as a charitable-funding vehicle. Once you turn 70 1/2, you generally must begin taking withdrawals \u2013 called required minimum distributions or RMDs \u2013 from your traditional IRA. (Roth IRAs are not subject to RMDs during your lifetime.) These RMDs from your traditional IRA are taxable, but you may be able to exclude up to $100,000 of RMDs per year from your taxable income if you transfer the funds directly to qualified charitable organizations.\nIn any case, consult with your tax advisor before donating appreciated assets to a charity.\nPortfolio balance: When you donate financial assets to a charity, you are also taking them away from your portfolio. This could be an issue, especially if you repeatedly donate the same types of assets. For example, if you're donating some growth-oriented stocks, will you lower the overall growth potential of your portfolio?\nYou may want to consult with a financial professional to ensure your charitable gifts will still allow you to maintain a portfolio balance appropriate for your goals and risk tolerance.\nReputation of the charity: You may want to do some homework to make sure you are giving to a reputable charity. Many experts on charitable giving say that a worthwhile charity should spend at least 75 percent of its income on programs, rather than administrative costs. You may be able to find this type of information on a charitable group's annual report and its website. You can also browse the web for the names of agencies that evaluate charitable groups.\nBy considering the aspects of charitable giving described above, you can get more satisfaction from your generosity \u2013 because you\u2019ll know that your gift not only supports a good cause, but also fits well into your overall financial picture.",

        "raw_content": "Home Lawyer HOW TO CHOOSE AN EMPLOYMENT LAWYER\nAlthough it is hopefully it is not something you will have to deal with too often, but there may still come a time when you need to hire an employment lawyer for legal advice. Whether it\u2019s because of wrongful dismissal or some other issue you have with your employer, you will want to make the right decision about the lawyer you seek advice from.\nIn the following post, to help you, we will highlight some important tips for a choosing an employment solicitor.\nLook at Their Website\nWhen you take a look at a solicitor\u2019s website you will be able to get a feel for who they are as a firm and be able to see if they have relevant experience in the area of employment law you require. Make sure the website has been updated on a regular basis as it will indicate whether or not that particular law firm keeps up to date with employment law changes.\nThe first meeting you have with a law firm is a crucial part of choosing the right solicitor. You need to speak to the individual that\u2019s going to be working your case if you go with that firm and not just a paralegal, trainee or junior member of the team. Request an estimate of the cost of pursuing the claim you have, what the outcome is likely to be and their suggested plan of action. This first meeting will help establish also if you have an actual case.\nConsider if Your Personalities Work Well Together\nDuring that initial meeting you should try and determine also if your personalities are going to work well together. It\u2019s vital that you feel comfortable with the lawyer and that you get along well enough with him or her, that you trust them and you will be able to collaborate over a long period of time with them.\nIt\u2019s crucial that you don\u2019t just decide to let the first law firm you come across handle your case. Try and look at as many suitable firms as you can before making your decision. That way you have a better idea of what\u2019s available out there and can work out whether you are going to get a good deal or not.\nWhether you are pushed for time or just want the opinion and help of someone you trust, recommendations from family and friends are great ways to find reputable solicitors. You have the benefit of being able to speak to your friend or family member about their experiences and whether or not they would recommend working with that firm.\nWhile it is definitely something you should factor into your decision, it should never be the sole reason why you do or don\u2019t work with a particular firm. The fees lawyers charged are generally based on their level of experience and reputation and how much work they take on for you. Ask whether they expect the fees upfront or when the case has completed or if you can pay on a monthly basis. Many solicitors offer a no win, no fee deal.\nHopefully seeking legal advice is something you will only have to deal with on rare occasions, but if you do, you now have some great tips for finding a good law firm.\nPrevious articleALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT MILITARY LAW\nNext articleWHAT MAKES A GOOD CRIMINAL LAWYER?",

        "raw_content": "Opportunities and Announcements for the Week of February 5, 2018\nThis is the time of year for students in their junior (or sophomore) year to organize applications for fellowships and scholarships. This is also the time for sophomores to begin to look beyond their graduation date and to consider how they might plan for their future. CWRU offers a range of fellowships and scholarships; beyond these, there are national fellowships and scholarships for which our students are eligible and likely to be competitive.\nFor example, senior women (who will graduate this spring) should review requirements for the Eva A. Pancoast Memorial Fellowship and, if interested, should contact Professor Beckwith asap. The Eva L. Pancoast Memorial Fund supports female graduates of The College of Arts and Sciences (as well as female students in The School of Graduate Studies) in extending their education by foreign study or foreign travel, or both, at any time during the 12 months following their graduation. This is an internal fellowship, with a deadline of March 1.\nBeyond these, there are additional national fellowships and scholarships with various application deadlines. Although many deadlines have passed for this year, see here for those for which students should prepare themselves. These include, for example, Fulbright fellowships, the Truman Scholarship, and the Charles B. Rangel International Affairs Fellowships, among others. First-year students with an interest in environmental policy should consider the Udall Scholarship, for application in their sophomore year. See also the Projects for Peace Fellowships; one of our majors, Cameron Macaskill, won this fellowship last year.\nPlease note as well the deadline for applications for our internal Wellman Hill Public Service Internships: February 9, a week from today. Please see the application requirements here.\nThis is the 53rd anniversary of the Woolworths sit-ins in Greensboro, North Carolina, where four undergraduates, all first-year students at North Carolina State Agricultural and Technical College, went to the local Woolworths store to have lunch \u2013 and to engage in nonviolent resistance to protest the exclusion of persons of color from service. My colleague Professor David Meyer (University of California at Irvine) writes about these here, in his social movements blog, Politics Outdoors.\nToday is Groundhog Day. Although it\u2019s a completely unscientific means of predicting the weather, we\u2019ll see if we have six more weeks of winter.\n\u201cWe come in peace, but we mean business.

This lecture will explore the justification for such a treaty, the contents of the current draft, the likelihood that it will be adopted and ratified by States, and the\npossible long-term benefits were such a treaty to enter into force.\nProfessors Kathryn Lavelle and Juscelino Colares discussed the strict tariffs recently leveled on certain imports.\nProfessor Jonathan Entin discussed the legal issues concerning a white nationalist\u2019s lawsuit against Kent State University.",

        "raw_content": "If you're keeping abreast with my concurrent blog - Preston's Path to Prosperity - then you know I've recently met someone that - at first blush - is the very essence of everything I'm looking for in a woman. I won't get into details here except to say she is gorgeous and wonderful.\nAfter our first date I was estactic to have met such a high quality woman. After the second date with everything going very smoothly, I was feeling like the master of the Law of Attraction.\nBut now, the next day, my subconscious mind is already at work undermining my confidence.\nHave you ever wished for something and wondered day in and day out why it couldn't be more like 'X'. Then when for once you actually get exactly 'X' you're feeling it's just too good to be true? That there simply must be something wrong. Some string or catch and you start looking for any tattletell sign of what's wrong with this picture.\nThat's where I am right now. If she doesn't pick up the phone, does that mean she's lost interest? Perhaps she only wants to be with me because I'm a Canadian citizen and she's not or she assumes I'm well established in life and able to look after her and her child. Looking back on our relationship so far there's no valid reason for me to assume any of that is true, it's merely my own poor self-image working against me.\nIn his seminar, Bob Proctor said that we must reach 'levels' before we can advance our life. For example, it's unfathomly hard to go from working poor to vertually non-working millionaire in ones mind. Sure they can envision it, but if they were to suddenly have an inspiration of what to do to make that reality they will almost certainly shoot it down as rubbish. Simply because that reality is too far removed from all their past and present references of life. It just can't be that easy. Right? Wrong.\nWhile not every idea is a surefire winner, there ultimately are some of them out there. The people who succeed are the ones who can believe in them long enough to prevail.\nFor that hardworking poor person striving to get ahead, they need to go after a shorter term goal of something that they can actually fundimentally believe they can acheive. Like reaching middle-class. Surely they know some people living at that level and certainly they can reaffirm that those people are not significantly, if at all, any different than they are. That way when success comes, they can accept it.\nOnce they become acclimatized to living life at that level they can dream and pursue bigger and better goals.\nWe must always be on the lookout for those self-limting thoughts and behaviours though.\nI recently read that in a study of a couple dozen millionaires that had succeeded from all different walks of life, the one recurring theme amoungst them all was a belief that they could not fail. They did not take reckless, foolish risks, and it would be next to impossible to maintain that beleif system if they did, but whatever risks they took, and it wasn't uncommon for them to risk it all, they proceeded on that unwavering belief that they would find a way to make it work.\nNow someone could argue that there would also be a set of people with that belief who tried and failed. This is true. What constantly amazes me is how many successful people have been bankrupt at some point, often multiple times. Bankruptcy seems like the end of the world to most of us but to these people it's merely a stumbling block and they merely try another venture utilizing what they learned in the last attempt.\nAgain, they've maintained that belief that they will not fail over the long run. They have seen others be successful and figure that therefore, it must also be possible for them to achieve success as well.\nThis extends into all other areas. It's well documented that pretty much any successful person you can think off dealt with failure or rejection at some point.\n\"Success is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm\" - Winston Churchill\nTherefore if we accept that failure is a part of life but certainly not the end of a voyage we must also come to an acceptance that success is also a part of life and we must learn to accept both in good graces.\nSo while my concerns might may some basis and should be considered, it's counterproductive to allow oneself to become consumed with looking for reasons why one's success isn't in fact valid.\nRemember we attract what we focus upon. So stay focused on how wonderful this success will feel and what future opportunites it opens up while staying mindful of the potential pitfalls.",

        "raw_content": "Thinking of Leaving Uni\nPost by crumpetsandtea \u00bb Mon Feb 16, 2009 4:05 pm\nI am currently in my third year of university and I don't know what I want to do or whether to stay anymore.\nI'm on a design course, and I've found it extremely difficult to concentrate and produce work of the standard I normally can. This year I've been getting so frustrated with my work that I've got really wound up about it and burst into tears. I really mucked up my first project of the year and ended up getting a 3rd when I should be on a 2:1 at least. This grade is now set in stone and I can't retake or do anything about it, I also handed in my dissertation last month and won't find out how i've done until the very end (but I don't think it will great), and I've got an uphill struggle now to not only improve my mark but produce a portfolio of work I can be proud of for my degree show. I feel under a lot of pressure and I think this is making me panic and making the problem worse.\nI've had numerous family problems whilst being at university, which have recently all come to a head. I live with two other girls on my course and they go off together quite a lot, and i've often felt left out and unable to speak to them about how i've been feeling. I'm constantly worrying about money and I never have a full nights sleep. I feel really down and I feel really over sensitive and little things seem to make me burst into tears, when they never did before.\nI have been thinking for a while about having a break from uni and coming back when I am less stressed. Uni has gone from being an amazing experience to somewhere where I feel lonely and out of control. My university at home runs the same course and I would like to go home and finish my degree there, with all my friends around me and hopefully a lot more focussed.\nI have spoken to my tutor about it and she doesn't want me to leave. She wants me to carry on and see how it goes, and her point of view is that I shouldn't put myself through the extra debt and I may return to uni and having been away from education I might lose a bit of edge or have exactly the same problems as i've had this year.\nI feel very miserable and I just want to escape from it, sort myself out and go back with a clear head and do my best.\nI really don't know what to do, and I would really appreciate any advice anyone has, or if they have been in a similar situation.\nRe: Thinking of Leaving Uni\nOk you finish uni around May - it's February now. Is it really worth dropping out with the chance of maybe never being able to go back to any uni and complete your degree, if you do go back you'll be in more debt, being older you may feel more of an outcast for the sake of February, March, April and May?\nPost by Bel Bel \u00bb Tue Feb 17, 2009 10:27 am\nI tend to agree with dipsy.\nCan you try to do something to help you relax, like yoga or try taking rescue remedy when your feling really stressed out.\nHow long has the course got to run in total, if there is another year or more to go after May can you complete the rest of the course at home like you said but don't leave mid term.\nStop beating yourself up too becasue you can't change what has gone past but you can change the future and stressing about the past is not going to achieve anything except making you feel worse.\nHave you got a counsellor you can talk to becasue i think just getting a lot of it off your chest will help.\nAsk you tutor if she has any practical solutions to help you up your grade for future work.\nPost by crumpetsandtea \u00bb Tue Feb 17, 2009 11:02 am\nHi, thanks for your replies.\nThe thing i'm worried about is that I have tried to relax, and i've been to see a counsellor at uni, but i'm on a waiting list and it could be 4 weeks before I get to see one again. I feel like i've got a hell of a lot of catching up to do and no time to do it, I'm constantly tearful and down and all I want to do is go home, I really can't concentrate. It makes it worse because of the atmosphere in the house with my housemates, its just turned into a bit of a nightmare.\nI know it seems like a waste to quit so late on (we finish at the end of june) but my course is quite intense, in that i'm in every day 9-5pm if not later and if you miss even a couple of days it puts you really behind, and its our main project coming up which is the most important bit, and I just can't concentrate and I don't think I have the time to sort myself out. I just don't know what to do for the best.\nIf I live at home and finish my degree there I wouldn't need a student loan to live off because i could just live on my wages from my job. It would just be my fees, but I think that it would be worth it to finish a better body of work to show at the end of it.\nI really don't know what to do for the best I just know i'm really unhappy and this means a lot to me and I don't know whether it would be better to finish my degree at home with my friends around me.\nHave you talked to your parents about it\nYou say you could live off your job at home, how do you know you will get a job in the current circumstances\nIf you really feel you can do a better jopb at home and get a better grade perhaps that is the best thing to do but is it really realistic, ie. can you be accomadated at your local uni\nPost by dipsydoodlenoodle \u00bb Tue Feb 17, 2009 11:23 am\nChances are if you leave uni you may have to re-start year 2, rather than go into year 3.\nI also did two courses for 5 years which were 9-5 every day plus an hours travel each side, plus assignments galore, with at least a 20 hour job to do. I think you are just expecting too much of yourself. You don't always need to get the top mark available, just do what you can.\nWhen I got my job they asked about my first degree but NEVER asked what grade I got.\nPost by crumpetsandtea \u00bb Tue Feb 17, 2009 12:22 pm\nI did my art foundation at the uni at home, so providing they have the places I think I have a good chance of getting on. The course is also very similar in teaching style to the one that i'm on now, and my tutor said it would be possible to transfer and go back into 3rd year again. I also know a few people who are on the course at home who I could talk to about it, and would give me their honest opinion on what the course is like.\nJob-wise, I work for a big chain and transfer between the branches at home and uni between term-time and the holidays. I've worked at my branch at home since I was 17 and get on with my manager really well and she has said i'm welcome back whenever I want to, and I know there are a couple of girls who are due on maternity leave when I get back so I know i'll have the hours.\nI have spoken to my parents about it, and my mum doesn't want me to go, because she thinks its too late on, and my dad didn't know what to say and just said do whatever you think is right.\nIf you don't mind me asking, dipsydoodlenoodle, how come you changed courses? And are you glad you did it? And did you find it hard being a bit older?\nThanks again for your replies its been really helpful.\nPost by dipsydoodlenoodle \u00bb Tue Feb 17, 2009 2:53 pm\nNo problems asking. I didn't change courses I just happened to do a BSc and then a MSc in different things. However a lot of the people on my MSc were older; I don't think they found it difficult because there was so many older people - the young people were in the minority. I did the MSc between the ages of 21-23 where I'd say the average age was 30-40s.\nIf you are a year or so older then the age difference won't matter it was just if you were thinking of having some time out before completing your course then it would be 10 years older. One of my friends did the BSc with me, decided after 3 years she wanted to be a Doctor, went back to school to do As and A-Levels in Biology and Chemistry in one year (she was 21, the rest of the class were either 16-18). Now she's at uni and although she doesn't mind the age difference she did say it was quite noticable.\nWould you be able to continue your year now or would you have to start again for the year in September? I don't know how it would work but you may end up paying fees to both universities since you have technically started semester 2.\nPost by crumpetsandtea \u00bb Tue Feb 17, 2009 3:36 pm\nThanks dipsydoodlenoodle, I think I would just take a bit of time out and re-start in September. The age gap for me shouldn't really be too bad, as it will only be a year, and I've got an august birthday, so really it would only be a difference of a few months. I have always been creatively inclined and I know I need this degree to go and get the career that I want, so I know that I would never drop out and not go back. I feel a bit like all the stress and disappointment has made me run out of steam and forget why I love my subject so much, so a bit of time away would do me good.\nThe trouble is every time I make a decision, someone always tells me I should stay and because I respect their opinions, it makes me doubt myself and get a bit confused, although I think deep down I've probably made up my mind.\ndogtan\nPost by dogtan \u00bb Wed Feb 18, 2009 9:25 pm\nUni is really hard and part of the experince is learning to carry on and drag yourself through it even when you feel your life is falling apart.\nHaving said that If you are sure its the right thing for you then it is. I had friends who pulled out at the last mo and went back later. It can work out for you, you just have to find your way through things.\nMake sure you carefully consider your choice carefully you must to what feels right for you.\nPost by Bel Bel \u00bb Thu Feb 19, 2009 9:36 am\nwhatever decision you make there will be people who disagree\nyou could stop discussing it with everyone so then they can't comment, just tell those that need to know like mum and dad, tutor, closwe friends\nAt the end of the day it's your decision, once you have deiceded just stick to it and don't let others influence you. It's always easy for an outsider to have an opinion but they are not living what you have to live\nPost by dipsydoodlenoodle \u00bb Thu Feb 19, 2009 9:45 am\nThe only advantage of asking outsiders is that we can perhaps give you a more level answer since we are only seeing the logical bits and have maybe experienced this ourselves, however as Bel Bel said we aren't living your life so we can't see how it is affecting you.\nPost by crumpetsandtea \u00bb Thu Feb 19, 2009 11:12 am\nThanks everyone, I really appreciate your thoughts!\nThe main problem is I didn't really want anyone to know, I only told my mum and dad, my tutor and a couple of my close friends. But one of my friends went and told everyone, and now everyone on my course feels the need to stick their oar in, I know they're only trying to help but I wanted to keep it to myself until I'd decided what to do and like everyone I suppose, I don't like people knowing my business!\nOnly last week one of my friend's housemates came up to me in a bar and started saying 'Oh I hear you're thinking of leaving, don't go! Why do you want to do that?', and I know she was only trying to be nice but I wanted to go out, enjoy myself, and not have to think about it, and she just kept going on and on, and it ended up really upsetting me because I didn't want to talk about it and I didn't realise anyone knew, and in the end I ended up going home early because I got all emotional and I thought I was going to make a fool out of myself and cry! (alcohol and stress, not a good combo! haha)",

        "title": "Women in Horror: XX (2017) - Psycho Drive-In",
        "raw_content": "Movies, Reviews, Women in Horror\nJust in time for Women in Horror Month comes XX, a horror anthology where every entry is written and directed by women. Which is a thing because it\u2019s the 21st fucking century and this is the first all-female-written-and-directed horror anthology.\nSeriously. What the hell?\nFirst up is \u201cThe Box,\u201d written and directed by Jovanka Vuckovic, followed by \u201cThe Birthday Party\u201d by director Annie Clark, better known as St. Vincent, with a scripting assist by Roxanne Benjamin who directed the next short, \u201cDon\u2019t Fall.\u201d The final piece is written and directed by Karyn Kusama and is entitled \u201cHer Only Living Son.\u201d Each of these short films is framed by a bizarre stop-motion animated sequence about a sentient dollhouse by Sofia Carrillo.\nMagnet Releasing, the genre arm of Magnolia Pictures, has been on a roll over the past few years, releasing some of the most innovative and interesting horror films, from Let the Right One In to I Saw the Devil, from The Host to Bad Milo, from House of the Devil to The Sacrament from Last Shift to Beyond the Black Rainbow and from V/H/S to The ABCs of Death 1 and 2. Essentially, if the Magnet logo comes up, you can count on getting your money\u2019s worth, and XX is no exception.\nJovanka Vuckovic\u2018s opener, \u201cThe Box\u201d is perhaps the most disturbing of the shorts that make up XX, if only for the unsettling premise. It doesn\u2019t hurt that the performers all nail exactly what is needed to craft what is, ultimately, an exercise in existential horror. \u201cThe Box\u201d (adapted from the short story by Jack Ketchum) tells the twisted tale of little Danny Jacobs (Peter DaCunha), who, after asking to see what\u2019s in the box to a strange-eyed fellow (Michael Dyson) on the train, decides to never eat again and that dying isn\u2019t a big deal. Danny refuses to talk about why he\u2019s no longer hungry, but when he does whisper his secret to first his sister (Peyton Kennedy) and then his father (Jonathan Watton), the lack of hunger is passed on until only his mother (Natalie Brown) is left to wonder what the fuck is going on.\nI was expecting this to veer more toward becoming a statement about eating disorders \u2013 something more subtle than The ABCs of Death\u2018s \u201cX is for XXL\u201d \u2013 but this is something different. Both the apathy that the characters feel and the ennui in Danny\u2019s voice when he declares indifference to dying were chilling. Natalie Brown\u2019s growing desperation as her family withers away around her is at constant battle with maintaining some sort of control and ultimately drives home a powerful sense of helplessness in the face of existential dread. Between this and The Strain, she can\u2019t catch a break when it comes to parenting.\nAnd in the end, there are no answers. This is a just about perfect short film.\nVuckovic, a former digital effects artist and former editor-in-chief of Rue Morgue Magazine, is the author of Zombies! An Illustrated History of the Undead and Vuckovic\u2019s Horror Miscellany and has contributed as a genre film expert on the Blade Runner Five Disc Ultimate Collector\u2019s Edition, Zombiemania, Universal\u2019s The Future of Fear and The Vice Guide to Film. She is set to direct her first feature film, Riot Girls in 2017, followed by All My Heroes Are Dead from her own script.\nThe second entry in XX is a dramatic change of pace, as musician Annie Clark (St. Vincent) directs a darkly comic satire of social responsibilities and parenting with \u201cThe Birthday Party.\u201d Melanie Lynskey (who I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve seen on film since Peter Jackson\u2019s Heavenly Creatures in 1994) is a mom trying to throw a birthday party for her daughter. The only problem is her husband has died overnight. But that won\u2019t stop Mary from trying to make the day perfect for her emotionally delicate daughter.\nThis one is light-hearted fun \u2013 until you get to the end \u2013 with more straight-up humor than you\u2019re going to find in any other entry. It is also the most visually striking with its use of color and perspective. This provides a nice contrast with the other pieces and still manages to capture a sense of anxiety with a few heartbreakingly honest moments for what is ultimately the most fun you\u2019re going to have while still feeling awkward and a little paranoid. But the best punchline is the full title, which is only revealed as the short wraps up.\nSt. Vincent, if you don\u2019t already know, has been a solo musician since 2006 after getting her start performing with the Polyphonic Spree and then Sufjan Stevens. She\u2019s artsy and weird and did a collaboration album with David Byrne, so even if you\u2019re not a fan of the Polyphonic Spree or Sufjan Stevens, you have to give her props for working with Byrne. She also fronted Nirvana for a performance of \u201cLithium\u201d at the band\u2019s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, so there.\n\u201cThe Birthday Party\u201d was produced and co-written by Roxanne Benjamin, who wrote and directed the third short. \u201cDon\u2019t Fall\u201d is the most traditional horror film in the anthology, a creature-feature that wastes very little time getting down to business. If it has any shortcoming, it may be that it\u2019s over too quickly to really allow the sense of dread and horror to build. On the other hand, Benjamin\u2019s dialogue is a joy. The characters are clever and funny right up until they\u2019re screaming for their lives.\nI won\u2019t go into much detail with this one, as there\u2019s not a lot to it, but \u201cDon\u2019t Fall\u201d is the most energetic and might be the most exciting short included here. It also features a queer couple center-stage without making it all about the fact that there\u2019s a queer couple center-stage.\nThat\u2019s how you do it.\nBenjamin has worked as a producer on V/H/S 1 and 2, then made her directorial debut with a slow-burn short included in the horror anthology Southbound (which she also produced). I\u2019ve been digging around online but the most news I can come up with for her next project is a tweet that mentions she\u2019s working on a \u201cviolent female-protag film\u201d and with any luck, it\u2019s a feature-length kick-ass horror/action film that will make everybody sit up and take notice.\nThe final short in XX is written and directed by Karyn Kusama and is called \u201cHer Only Living Son.\u201d Kusama brings the most impressive filmmaking resume to the anthology, getting her start with Girlfight in 2000 and following that up with Aeon Flux in 2005 and then Jennifer\u2019s Body in 2009. She most recently began garnering massive critical praise for 2015\u2019s The Invitation and has been working in television regularly since 2014, with her next feature, Destroyer, shooting in the fall.\n\u201cHer Only Living Son\u201d is exceptionally creepy and provides an intriguing twist on the traditional \u201cmy kid is the antichrist\u201d story. Spoilers. It\u2019s the third short in the collection to focus on the fears and anxieties of motherhood and in the end is perhaps the least inspiring film in the anthology. But that\u2019s only because any sense of surprise is telegraphed fairly early and the Rosemary\u2019s Baby-style \u201ceverybody\u2019s in on the joke\u201d approach undercuts the impending dread.\nThat said, the film is still very effective when it comes to the performance of lead, Christina Kirk. This is a woman who has sacrificed everything for the well-being of her child and refuses to accept the influence of nature over nurture. Andy (Kyle Allen) is a monstrous little bastard, an exaggeration of ordinary teen hostility, but she won\u2019t give up on him. Even if his dad is the fucking devil.\nAs mentioned at the top, each film is framed with bizarre, stop-motion animation by Sofia Carrillo, a Guadalajara-based animator making beautifully haunting shorts over the past twelve years. I\u2019m not going to try to explain it or interpret it beyond saying that it involves a sentient dollhouse and is simply gorgeous. I\u2019d have to watch it a few more times to offer a more intelligent response, but it sets an amazing tone and the skill on display is simply stunning.\nSo yeah. It\u2019s 2017 and we have the first ever horror anthology entirely written and directed by women. According to the 2016 Celluloid Ceiling Report, in \u201c2016, women comprised 17% of all directors, writers, producers, executive producers, editors, and cinematographers working on the top 250 domestic grossing films. This represents a decline of 2 percentage points from last year and is even with the percentage achieved in 1998 (emphasis mine).\u201d Women in horror, which is the fucking entry point genre for filmmakers, fared worse with women accounting for just 11% of roles behind the scenes in 2015.\nThat\u2019s depressing. And is exactly what Women in Horror Month was created to address. So be sure to check out XX and seek out the other works by these creators and all the women we\u2019ve been highlighting this month.\n28 Days of Women in HorrorAnnie ClarkJovanka VuckovicKaryn KusamaMagnet ReleasingPaul Brian McCoyRoxanne BenjaminSofia CarrilloSt. VincentWomen in HorrorXX",

From February 22 to April 2, 1942, there were 34,073 exterminated. From May 4 to 15 another 11,680 people were gassed there. The Nazis were such exquisite record keepers. Numbers\u0097not names.\nThe killings began in mid-January 1942 and, with several interruptions, ended January 17, 1945, when the guards slaughtered the remaining prisoners just ahead of the liberation by the Russian army. Two men\u0097both part of the forced grave-digging detail\u0097managed to escape, though shackled, in the early years. Two other men were miraculously alive in the camp at the war's end. During the time that this book posits a rescue\u0097June of 1942\u0097there are no records of killings, which may mean that there were no actual deaths or more likely that those particular records have been lost.\nThe town of Chelmno exists. There may be a priest there, but I have never met him. There may be good people there. I have never heard them interviewed.\nThis is a book of fiction. All the characters are made up. Happy-ever-after is a fairy tale notion, not history. I know of no woman who escaped from Chelmno alive.\"\nAuthor's Note, \"Briar Rose\" by Jane Yolen\n\"In a Scottish version of the story, a trout in a well takes the role we now associate with a magical mirror. Each day a queen asks, 'Am I not the loveliest woman in the world?' The trout assures the queen that she is...until he daughter comes of age, surpassing the mother in beauty. The queen falls ill with envy, summons the king, and demands the death of their daughter. He pretends to comply, but sends the girl off to marry a foreign king. Eventually the trout informs the queen that the princess is still alive\u0097so she crosses the sea to her daughter's kingdom, and kills her with a poisoned needle. The young king, grieving, locks his beloved's corpse away in a high tower. Eventually he takes another wife, who notes that he always seems sad. 'What gift,' she asks, 'could I give to you, husband, so that you would know joy and laughter again?' He tells her that nothing can bring him joy but his first wife restored to life. She sends her husband up to the tower, where he finds his beloved alive and well\u0097for his second wife had discovered the girl, and removed the poisoned needle from her finger. The lovers thus reunited, the good-hearted second wife offers to go away. 'Oh! indeed you shall not go away,' says the king, 'but I shall have both of you now.' They live happily together until (blast that trout!) the jealous queen gets wind of the fact that her daughter has come back to life. She crosses the ocean once again, bearing a poisoned drink this time. The clever second wife, takes matters in hand. She greets the wicked queen on the shore, and tricks the woman into drinking from the poisoned cup herself. After this, the young king and his two wives enjoy a long, peaceful life.\"\nIntroduction, \"White As Snow\" by Tanith Lee\nElaine: \"I want to make out with Natalie Portman for real.\"\nMe: \"You mean instead of in your head?\"\nElaine: \"We don't make out in my head.\"\nMe: \"...Elaine.\"\nElaine: \"We snuggle.\"\nBen: \"[The broken broom] bit me.

        "raw_content": "Anticipating Solo\nIn 1977 action-adventure film was still a rare experience. An action-adventure space opera, and even more, a youth-oriented, fairy tale-mythic action-adventure space opera, was unprecedented in major feature film. And this was combined with the invention of a computer-controlled camera that, by enabling an unexampled level of precision and flexibility in effects work, revolutionized it by permitting a density, a quality, a quantity of such work such as had never been attempted before.\nAnd audiences loved it.\nIn the 1990s they still loved it. But it was no longer novel. And it was no longer unique, in a field increasingly crowded with action movies constantly upping the ante in regard to the scale and technical sophistication of the spectacle. In fairness, Lucas did strive for originality with the next trilogy. By making them prequels, by investing so heavily in building up his universe, not least with his then-revolutionary, lavish use of CGI, he did undeniably create something different. However, the different is not necessarily appealing, and becaue it was inconsistent with the earlier films, and did admittedly afford a kind of experience that not everyone loved (to put it mildly, given the vehemence of the purists), it did not go over nearly so well.\nThe most recent films have been nowhere near so ambitious, redoing what went before to such a degree that it can look like fan fiction (as Episode VII did), or simply a smugly obnoxious postmodernist \"subversion\" of what the films have been doing (as Episode VIII did, and paid for it with a forty percent cut in the box office take). In either case, Star Wars is at best one of a growing number of franchises offering this entertainment, with more or less competence. (If you want the fuller take on this, and much else on the saga's origins, influence and general place in cinematic and pop cultural history, you can get it in Star Wars in Context.)\nThe brand name remains strong in spite of that, but the reality is still that a Star Wars movie is likely to be increasingly judged on that level, the way, for example, the Bond films have (as their highly variable grosses over the years show).\nFor the moment the outlook for Solo looks very promising, a nine figure opening weekend at just the North American box office a certainty, with some regarding the weekend as even more promising than it seemed to be a few weeks ago. Still, how the riskiest movie of the relaunched franchise (for its alternative narrative approach, for coming out so soon after its predecessor, and a disappointing predecessor at that) is something we will only find out when it happens.",

During one of her scenes for Assesinpublic.com (a site belonging to the Brazzers network) shot a couple of years earlier at Venice Beach, she is seen next to a fire truck, exposing herself and inviting passersby to fondle her. An internal investigation started by the LAFD suggested that the firefighters from Engine 263 (the fire truck) were aware of what was going on, and that the whole scene was premeditated.[7]\nAs a response, Chase stated on her blog: \"I just want to say that I am soooo sorry to the fire fighters involved. it was not my intentions for any one to get hurt or fired or whatever. I am not sure why news reporters are resorting to porn to make there stories these days, but shit\u2026 it was a fun day! The Fire Fighters watched me stroll the beach from a distance, but were NOT involved in us invading the truck. I love how news people bend and twist the stories they report to better suit their point. As I said before\u2026 there was no set up to that day at all and I tried everything I could to let that be known. That was almost three years ago and it is crazy stupid that this is a problem now.\"[8] Later on, being invited on FOX 11's Studio 11 LA, she denied again that there was any premeditation to the scene, adding that the fire truck was there by chance when the film crew showed up, and that the firefighters had no involvement in it at all.[9]\n2011 AVN Award Unsung Starlet of the Year[3]\nXRCO Award Unsung Siren[4]\n^ a b c d e f g h i \"Charley Chase at IAFD\".

All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it\u2019s just not that good. It\u2019s trying to be good, it has potential, but it\u2019s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this.\nWe know our work doesn\u2019t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work.\nPut yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I\u2019ve ever met. It\u2019s gonna take awhile. It\u2019s normal to take a while. You\u2019ve just gotta fight your way through.\u201d\nReading that quote again, I can\u2019t help but think about my feelings when writing my first major book this year.\nI really want it to be good. I hope it is.\nHopefully the hundreds of articles and blog posts I\u2019ve written up to this point have shaped my work enough to give it the unique voice I always heard in my head, but often struggled to translate into words.\nIn the meantime, all I can do is continue to create the best work I can, knowing that I\u2019ll get better with time \u2014 and if possible \u2014 try to enjoy the process.\nYou should actively and intentionally train your mind enjoy the process of struggle to become great while you\u2019re still not that that good.\nYou should not to look in hindsight, only congratulating yourself after you\u2019ve already accomplished something.\nAnd you should not preoccupy yourself with \u201cfuture casting,\u201d only getting excited about things that haven\u2019t happened yet.\nThese mindsets rob us of the ability to enjoy what\u2019s actually happening in your life right now.\nIf you\u2019re constantly filled with the anxiety of trying to \u201cmake progress,\u201d and things aren\u2019t happening quickly enough for you, trust me, I\u2019ve been there.\nCheck out this quick video to learn how you can overcome the constant frustration of not making progress \u201cfast enough.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Fuel cells Storage, transport, use Storage systems Biotechnology\nElectricity Storage Systems\nToday, especially when electricity generation units are from renewable sources, the possible occurrence of network stability problems due to the instability of these generators limits the diffusion of distributed generation.\nCoupling electricity storage systems with electricity generators from renewable sources would temporally decouple the production and consumption of electricity, thus favoring greater diffusion of such power generation systems, which have production curves that are not easily predictable and that often do not coincide with the load curves.\nThe storage systems, which are used in distributed generation applications, can perform different tasks and should therefore be sized on the basis of the performance required. In fact, some applications require \"power performance\", that is systems capable of delivering high power for short periods (from fractions of a second to tens of seconds), while others require \"energy performance\", that is systems capable of supplying power autonomously for a few hours.\nAmong the various technologies of electricity accumulators applicable in distributed generation, one that has suitable features for different applications, by virtue of the high values of specific energy and power as well as the very rapid response times, is the technology of lithium-ion batteries.\nIn this context, the activities carried out by RSE concern the characterization of lithium batteries as well as the design of a storage system and the definition of a procedure for characterization of these batteries.\nWith regard to the Zebra batteries a control system has been developed for the optimal management of the simultaneous charging of several Zebra batteries within a storage system connected to the LV network.\nDynamic stress tests have been carried out on lithium and Zebra batteries to analyze the behavior of the storage systems used according to the typical procedures of transmission applications.\nAs regards electrochemical storage, a test station has been devised for the experimental characterization of sodium-sulfur and/or sodium-nickel-chloride mono-cells in order to analyze the behavior from a heat exchange point of view (as well as electrochemical).",

I never quite seem to capture what I hear in my head.\nI wrote the song for my mother in 1997. She was a Jehovah\u2019s Witness. I was removed from their church (cult) in 1979 \u2013 for smoking cigarettes \u2013 shortly after my mother informed me that she would have to quit associating with me, son or not.\nFortunately for me my father \u2013 who was not in the cult \u2013 intervened and said I could come to \u201chis house\u201d any time I wished. I did continue to see her when I would go to see my father. But she always made it clear that she wasn\u2019t going to make me feel at home. My father died in 1987 and that ended the reprieve.\nI tried to visit her on a number of occasions but she truly believed that her god would punish her if she befriended me, so \u201cshe never took the chance\u201d (a line from the song). I ultimately moved to Tucson to keep from seeing her or my brother Charles (of the same cult) on the street and go through the rejection every time we crossed paths in a small town like Sierra Vista.\nThe reason I write this explanation is because song is so indirect that you would never guess it is for my mother, or that it is her \u201ceyes so blue and gray\u201d of which I sing and write.\nMelba Ethyl Cline died in 2004 \u2013 but I died for her 25 years before that.\nPrevious PostDos MujeresNext PostHere in my Heart",

        "raw_content": "City of San Bernardino takes action to hold property owners accountable for resident safety\n(September 7, 2018) -- The City of San Bernardino continues to make progress in the investigation of the eight-person shooting at 1277 East Lynwood Drive on September 2. Major steps are underway to ensure the property owner, PAMA Management, will create a safe and crime-free environment for those that live in the complex and the surrounding neighborhood.\nThe investigation continues with the San Bernardino Police Department (SBPD) now receiving and actively pursuing tips through the anonymous TIP Line at 909-953-4673. In addition, an SBPD Officer is assigned to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) task force so we now have access to resources to help with the investigation. This allows SBPD access to high-tech evidence tools like the Integrated Ballistic Identification System (IBIS), which expeditiously helps investigators solve crimes faster by analyzing bullet casings and bullet striations. An investigation like the Lynwood event, with an abundance of physical evidence and lack of witness information, takes time.\n\u201cI want to assure residents that we are moving fast and that this is a sustained effort until our City experiences real and positive change with the quality and safety of our rental housing stock,\u201d said City Manager Andrea Miller. \u201cWe know this property is not the only apartment complex in the City that suffers from high crime.\u201d\nEnsuring all multi-unit property owners maintain safe and crime-free complexes is being led by the San Bernardino Police Department and San Bernardino\u2019s City Attorney\u2019s Office which is now supported by Best, Best & Krieger and Jones & Mayer. Both firms have extensive experience with Crime-Free Housing.\nPAMA Management has taken immediate action to improve the safety at 1277 East Lynwood Drive. This includes:\n24-hour security is now in place at the complex.\nAdded security cameras are being installed throughout the property.\nNo congregating will be allowed in public areas within the complex if drinking or gambling is occurring.\nAll gates securing the property have been fixed.\nIn addition, SBPD and the City Attorney\u2019s Office are pursuing various warrants and violations served at this property prior to the incident. Patrols are also being increased in this area.\nThe next steps in making San Bernardino\u2019s multi-unit complexes crime free include:\n1) Adopt a new, strengthened Crime-Free Housing Ordinance that will hold property owners accountable for the actions of their tenants. The City has already begun to review its current ordinance, as well as ordinances from other cities, and are conferring with professional associations for recommendations. The City\u2019s new proposed ordinance is expected to go before Council in October.\n2) Target the 10 most crime-ridden multi-family properties within the City to ensure property owners are meeting all code standards and Crime Free Housing policies.\nMoving forward, San Bernardino residents will receive regular updates with the City\u2019s progress toward making property owners accountable for the safety within their complexes and their neighborhoods. Updates will be shared via the City\u2019s Facebook page and website.",

This programme, which was started in 2010, has already benefitted many hundreds of students from disadvantaged backgrounds in northern Thailand and currently supports 350 to 400 students at any one time. SLSF looks to support students who are not only in great financial need but who also show great potential and commitment to making the most of this opportunity.\nCandidates for the SLSF scholarship programme are put forward by partner organizations who work at local community level and therefore have excellent networks and experience within schools and other organizations working with children and families in their respective areas and are able to help identify students who combine the characteristics which the foundation is most interested in finding.\nPartner Organizations have so far included Samsara - www.samsara-foundation.com/ (based in Chiang Mai but working predominantly in Mae Hong Son province), the Karen Hill Tribes Trust -www.karenhilltribes.org.uk/ (based in Khun Yuam, Mae Hong Son province), Shan Women\u2019s Action Network - www.shanwomen.org (based in Chiang Mai town but working predominantly along the Thai-Shan State border), the Blood Foundation -www.bloodfoundation.org/projects.html (based in Fang, Chiang Mai province) and the Migrant Learning Centre (in Chiang Mai). We also work with several schools and colleges (such as Fang Vocational College, Mae Hong Son Nawamin Vocational College and Chiang Mai Rajabhat in Mae Hong Son) to identify good candidates.\nOnce candidates have been proposed, they then undergo a rigorous application and interview process to ensure that the programme is reaching the most deserving students. Once a student has been awarded an SLSF scholarship, he/she then receives SLSF scholarship instalments each term, delivered in person by a member of the Toonpanya team on behalf of SLSF. Each term, every SLSF scholar will also have a further interview with one or two members of the Toonpanya team to see: how the student is doing in their studies; check grades and attendance; see if there are any problems which need resolving; discuss what the student is doing with his/her free time to support themselves and improve their prospects for the future; check that the student continues to merit support (again, both in terms of financial need and demonstration of commitment); check that the student is not at risk of dropping out (and if so, to help try to find solutions); and discuss plans for the future and how best to achieve those aspirations.\nThe SLSF programme thereby tries to ensure that it maintains a very proactive role in the student\u2019s studies, providing not only financial support but also encouragement, guidance and help where appropriate.\nFor more information you can visit the SLSF website at www.sievertlarssonscholarships.org/",

The design procedure contains several steps. It starts with data collection followed by selection of the conductors and protection devices. The process ends with the coordination of the protection devices chosen. The number of power system elements and their complexity makes it virtually impossible to examine all the possible alternatives and to choose the most optimal solution in terms of safety, reliability and cost. The process of designing industrial and commercial power systems was broken into autonomous parts which when connected in one software package creates a powerful tool.

        "raw_content": "In-State vs. Out-of-State\nCanceling an Account\nScholarship / Financial Aid / Tax Credits\nWhat is SCTPP?\nScholarship Refund\nWhat college expenses are covered by a SCTPP contract?\nSCTPP contract benefits are used to pay undergraduate tuition equal to block pricing and most mandatory fees at South Carolina\u2019s public colleges and universities. If you previously purchased a Four-Year College/University Plan, SCTPP will pay tuition expenses for 8 semesters. If you previously purchased a Two-Year College/University Plan, SCTPP will pay tuition expenses for 4 semesters.\nThe benefits may also be applied toward the cost of undergraduate tuition and fees at private schools and out-of-state schools, although full coverage of these costs is not guaranteed. An amount up to the average tuition rate for public universities in South Carolina will be applied toward private and out-of-state college tuition costs.\nMandatory fees are those fees required as a condition of enrollment for all students attending a particular college or university, regardless of the student\u2019s year or program of study. At this time, your SCTPP contract does not include the cost of books, room and board, uniforms, laundry, or transportation, even if these types of expenses are considered mandatory by the university your child chooses to attend. Fees associated with a particular class or field of study, such as lab and equipment fees, are not considered mandatory fees by SCTPP and are not paid by SCTPP.\nIs there another plan that will cover higher education expenses not covered by the SCTPP?\nYes. South Carolina has another 529 plan called Future Scholar 529 College Savings Plan. It was designed with more flexibility to allow for funding of all qualified higher education costs, including room and board as well as expenses for books, supplies, and even graduate school tuition. It is strictly a savings plan for which you have the option of how to invest your money. There is no \"open enrollment\" period for this plan. You can open an account at any time during the year. Even if your child is already in college you can open a Future Scholar account and receive a state tax deduction for qualified expenses. For additional information about Future Scholar, call 1-888-244-5674, or visit the program website at http://www.futurescholar.com/.\nWhy aren\u2019t other college expenses, including dormitory and meal plan costs, provided for as part of the benefits of a SCTPP contract?\nSCTPP contract pricing was based only on the current undergraduate tuition and mandatory fee costs in South Carolina. The many options available for housing and meal plans cause a great deal of variance in costs among each of the universities in South Carolina and make it difficult to fairly price contracts that include these expenses. South Carolina\u2019s Future Scholar 529 College Savings Plan was designed with more flexibility to allow for funding of all qualified higher education costs, including room and board as well as expenses for books, supplies, and even graduate school tuition. For more information about Future Scholar, call 1-888-244-5674, or visit the program website at http://www.futurescholar.com/.\nWill the legislation effective July 1, 2008 affect how much is paid to the school?\nIt could if you attend an in-state public university. The bill states \u201cthe annual increase in tuition for an institution cannot exceed seven percent per year from Fiscal Year 2006-2007\u201d. You can go to \u201cWhat Does It Cost To Go To College?\u201d and find out exactly how much the cap is and how much the actual tuition is.\nIf you attend an in-state public university and the tuition is higher than the cap, SCTPP will only pay the cap. In this case, you may notice on your college bill a \u201ctuition waiver\u201d. This should be the difference in the actual tuition and the cap. The university should not bill you for the difference.\nWhen can I enroll in SCTPP?\nEnrollment in the plan is closed. The legislature voted during the 2008 session to close SCTPP enrollment but honor the existing contracts. The actual legislation is stated below and is effective July 1, 2008.\nS.75 (Rat #0296, Act #0246 of 2008)\n(A) Notwithstanding another provision of law, the South Carolina Tuition Prepayment Program may not accept new participants until the General Assembly authorizes the program to accept new participants by joint resolution.\n(B) This section does not affect the existing participants in the program, and the South Carolina Tuition Prepayment Program remains in full operation for this purpose.\nFor the purpose of the Tuition Prepayment Program, the annual increase in tuition for an institution cannot exceed seven percent per year from Fiscal Year 2006-2007. To the extent that actual tuition for an institution exceeds an annual growth of seven percent per year, the institution shall grant a waiver of the difference to the designated beneficiary and must not pass along the difference to any student.\nIn-State vs Out-of-State\nWhy doesn\u2019t SCTPP guarantee tuition at private colleges in South Carolina or out-of-state colleges and universities?\nTuition rates can vary greatly among private colleges, and each state\u2019s university system has its own pricing structure. The contract you purchase through SCTPP is based solely on the tuition rates for in-state resident students at South Carolina\u2019s four\u2013year public colleges and universities. It does not consider the rates of private or out-of-state schools. Even so, the benefits of your South Carolina contract can be applied toward the cost of tuition at any accredited college or university in the country. SCTPP staff will work with you to maximize your contract benefits at whatever school your child decides to attend. Future Scholar can also help you plan for the cost of a private college education. Usage flexibility and higher investment maximums with Future Scholar allow you to set aside the amount you believe you will need to cover all your child\u2019s future higher education expenses.\nDoes my SCTPP contract guarantee my child will be able to attend a college in South Carolina?\nIf you previously purchased a SCTPP contract, it does not guarantee, or in any way provide for, a student\u2019s acceptance to, continued enrollment at, graduation from, or residency status at any college or university. The student must meet the admission and residency requirements of the college or university he or she wishes to attend.\nWhat if my child decides to attend an out-of-state college?\nYou will be able to use your SCTPP benefits at any accredited college or university your child attends. Generally, your account balance increases at the same rate tuition increases at South Carolina\u2019s four-year public colleges and universities. The tuition rate paid by SCTPP to a private or out-of-state school will be an amount up to the average rate that the program is paying at that time to South Carolina\u2019s public universities. A small processing fee is applied to each payment made to an out-of-state school. Typically, private college tuition and out-of-state tuition are higher than what is required for an in-state student to attend a public university in South Carolina, so you may have to make up that difference. If you anticipate this extra cost, you can open a Future Scholar account for your child, in addition to the SCTPP account, and use it to pay for the expenses not covered by SCTPP. For information on opening a Future Scholar account, visit www.futurescholar.com or call 1-888-244-5674.\nHow do I cancel my existing SCTPP account?\nYour SCTPP account may be canceled at any time and for any reason. The Cancellation Form.pdf (ink) makes it easy. Just fill it out and mail it to us. This form will need to be signed by the account owner and notarized with a notary seal.\nAm I entitled to a refund if there is a remaining balance in my existing SCTPP account after my child graduates?\nNo. Unused benefits are terminated when the beneficiary has graduated (or received his/her baccalaureate degree), all purchased semesters are depleted, or when the beneficiary reaches the age of 30.\nCan I still claim the federal HOPE or Lifetime Learning tax credits for college expenses if my child is using the SCTPP benefits?\nIf you meet the income requirements for the HOPE or Lifetime Learning federal tax credits in the year that you are paying higher education costs, you may be able to coordinate those benefits with the benefits from your SCTPP contract. However, you cannot claim the tax credits for the same tuition expenses that are paid by SCTPP on your child\u2019s behalf. You should consult with your tax adviser or the Internal Revenue Service to determine how best to utilize both types of benefits within your specific circumstances.\nHow is having a SCTPP account considered in the financial aid process?\nUnder current federal guidelines, tuition prepayment plans, including SCTPP, are treated as a parental asset on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form, like 529 savings plans. Most SCTPP accounts are owned by parents and in these cases, should be reported as a parental asset on the FAFSA. When reporting SCTPP accounts on the FAFSA, the account owner should report the total refund value of ALL SCTPP accounts held by the same owner, regardless if the beneficiary of those accounts is not the student for whom financial aid is being requested.\nTo help complete your FAFSA form, the FAFSA reporting value is located on any of the following:\nThe account owner's annual statement, mailed in January of each year,\non line at www.sctpp.sc.gov by accessing the \"Benefits Information\" screen of the \"My Account\" link, or\nBy contacting a customer service representative at 1-888-772-4723.\nFor more information regarding the effect of the SCTPP contract on your eligibility for financial aid, contact the financial aid office of the college or university the student plans to attend.\nWill my SCTPP account impact my child\u2019s ability to get financial aid?\nEffective July 1, 2006, the treatment of both types of 529 plans (prepaid and savings) will be considered parental assets in the determination of federal financial aid. If the 529 plan is owned by someone other than the parent, the assets may not need to be considered at all when applying for assistance.\nWhat if my child earns a scholarship?\nYou may still be able to use the money you have saved and earned through SCTPP to pay tuition and fees. SCTPP contract benefits can only be applied toward the cost of tuition and mandatory fees. Scholarship funding often is more flexible and may be used to cover other expenses such as dormitory, meal plan, or book costs. Due to the rise in tuition and other fees, in most cases, it takes the SCTPP funding and the scholarship funding to pay for the total cost of attendance. In the case of a full scholarship, or scholarship which covers your tuition cost and mandatory fees in full, your SCTPP benefits can be held for future use or may be refunded to the contributor of the account. The amount of refund in this situation will include either the original purchase price plus the compounded rate of return earned by the fund OR the current tuition charged at colleges or universities in South Carolina, whichever is less. The scholarship refund will include accumulated interest with no penalties. A refund request must be submitted for each semester that the scholarship is awarded. It is your responsibility to coordinate billing and payment of SCTPP benefits with the university's billing office when applied in conjunction with a scholarship. You may also roll your SCTPP refund into a Future Scholar account if you have additional college expenses to pay. Rolling the refund into Future Scholar may defer or eliminate your income tax liability on the interest portion of the refunded amount. And, if you did not previously receive a South Carolina income tax deduction for the SCTPP contribution amount that you roll into a Future Scholar account, you may claim the deduction in the tax year that the rollover is made.\n\u00bb In order to request a scholarship refund: Access the Scholarship Refund Request Form.pdf (ink) which outlines eligibility and documentation requirements.\nIs there a tax advantage to having my SCTPP contract?\nTax benefits have been implemented at both the State and federal levels. The contributor of a SCTPP account may claim a South Carolina income tax deduction for all contributions received by SCTPP during a tax year. Account earnings are exempt from federal and South Carolina income taxation while they are held in your SCTPP account. The earnings included in refunds made for any reason, however, are subject to income taxation unless those funds are rolled into another 529 plan or other qualified investment.\nFederal legislation now makes qualified distributions from Section 529 Plans permanently federally tax free. The ruling is part of the Pension Protection Act of 2006 approved by Congress and signed into law by the President on August 17, 2006.\nContributions are treated federally as completed gifts so the contributed amount is removed from the giftor\u2019s estate.\nThe South Carolina Tuition Prepayment Program, SCTPP, is a college savings plan for children that reside in South Carolina. Created by the 1997 General Assembly, it is one of the IRS Section 529 Qualified Tuition Plans administered by the Office of the State Treasurer. SCTPP is currently closed to new participants but allowed for the advance purchase of either two years or four years of college tuition for a child as young as infant or any student who has not yet completed the tenth grade. The cost of a SCTPP contract was based on today\u2019s tuition rates at South Carolina\u2019s four-year public colleges and universities. You locked in a tuition rate, potentially with significant savings over the actual tuition costs at the time your child enrolled in college. Once enrolled in the program, your SCTPP contract payments did not increase regardless of how much college tuition in South Carolina increased over the years. Some of the most talked about features of the program are the tax benefits. Not only can you receive a South Carolina State income tax deduction for your contributions, but those contributions currently also grow State and federal tax free. Grandparents, in particular, appreciate the benefits of the federal gift tax provisions granted to SCTPP account contributors, and they don\u2019t have to give up control of their SCTPP accounts to take advantage of these features. You did not need to select the college your child would have been attending at that time. The SCTPP tuition benefits apply to all South Carolina public colleges and universities and can even be transferred, at an equivalent rate, to private or out-of-state schools. If your child receives a scholarship and you will not need your SCTPP contract benefits, you can request a refund which generally includes all account earnings and is penalty-free. Partial refunds are not accepted. Of course, you can request a refund of your contributions at any time for any reason or rollover your SCTPP account value to the Future Scholar 529 College Savings Plan.\nHow is the money I contribute to my SCTPP account invested?\nThe Office of State Treasurer has entered into a contract with Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (\u201cColumbia Management\u201d), pursuant to which Columbia Management acts as the SCTPP Fund manager. Your contract payments are pooled in the Fund with the contract payments of all other SCTPP participants to maximize the rate of return potential and decrease fee expenses to the Fund. The Fund\u2019s investment strategy targets a portfolio mix of fixed income, equity, and alternative investments. Currently, the SCTPP Fund has diversified holdings in corporate, government, and other bonds, in addition to a diversified mix of equity, alternative, and fixed income funds.\nWhat is the rate of return on my SCTPP account?\nBecause SCTPP is not a traditional savings account, interest is not posted to your account in the same manner as you may see for your bank or other investment accounts. Through SCTPP, you purchased a contract offering benefits which are redeemed by your contract beneficiary to pay for certain higher education expenses. Payments you make on your contract are credited to your SCTPP account. Essentially, your SCTPP account grows at the same rate as tuition inflation in South Carolina each year. When your contract is paid in full, SCTPP provides for your child\u2019s tuition to be fully paid at any of the State\u2019s public colleges or universities.\nEach January, you will receive an Annual Statement of Account reflecting the contributions to your SCTPP account and certain other activity to your account during the previous calendar year. You may also view this activity online when you login using your SCTPP account number and your personal password.\nEarnings are not reflected on your account until withdrawals are made to pay tuition expenses directly to a school or to refund you in the event of the account cancellation or the beneficiary\u2019s receipt of scholarship funds. The amount of account earnings included in any payment or refund will be reflected in the 1099-Q statements issued by SCTPP each January.\nMay I transfer the benefits of a SCTPP contract that I purchased for one child to another child later down the road?\nGenerally, you may change the contract beneficiary at any time prior to usage of contract benefits as long as the new beneficiary is the same age as or younger than the original beneficiary and is a member of the current beneficiary\u2019s immediate family (sibling, half- brother or half- sister, step-brother or stepsister, or cousin). For contracts sold during the 2006 enrollment period, substitution to a younger beneficiary will take into consideration the balance previously paid for the original beneficiary and a new contract price for the new beneficiary. These changes will require an actuarial fee and immediate payment to ensure your account is up-to-date on the new payments due. This change may also result in an increased monthly payment amount. All change of beneficiary requests will be subject to the normal processing fee of $25 (except in cases of death and/or disability or the original beneficiary).\nThe benefits cannot be transferred to a child that already is named as the beneficiary in a Four-Year College/University Plan or in two Two-Year College/University Plans.\nYou may also transfer the funds in your SCTPP account to a Future Scholar account for the same beneficiary or another member of that beneficiary\u2019s family. Future Scholar offers more flexible options for how you use the funds in your college savings account. You can find out more about Future Scholar and transferring funds from SCTPP by calling 1-888-244-5674.\nWhat happens if my child or I move away from South Carolina?\nYou do not have to cancel your contract if you move out of state. Your child may still use the SCTPP benefits at a university in South Carolina, or the benefits may be used at any eligible college or university anywhere in the nation. If he or she no longer meets in-state residency requirements for a South Carolina school, you may have to make up the difference in the cost of out-of-state tuition versus in-state tuition. SCTPP contract pricing is based on what it costs today for an in-state resident student to attend a public college or university in South Carolina.\nWhy do you need Social Security Numbers?\nWe must have the Social Security Number of the SCTPP account contributor and the account beneficiary for our reporting requirements to the Internal Revenue Service. We issue a 1099-Q form or forms for any year that a refund (other than refunds for over payments), school payment, or other type of withdrawal is made from an account. We store your Social Security Number, as well as any other individual account information in the program\u2019s secure environment and take safeguards to ensure that it is accessible only to individuals employed directly by the State Treasurer\u2019s Office or under contract by the State Treasurer\u2019s Office to provide specific services to the State\u2019s 529 Qualified Tuition Plans. Individual SCTPP account information is never sold to third parties for marketing purposes. If there is not a social security number on file or if the one on file is incorrect you may fill out the Social Security Number Add/Change Form.pdf (.pdf).\nIs my SCTPP account guaranteed?\nThe South Carolina General Assembly created the Fund in 1997 as a separate, non-public Fund. This provision ensures that SCTPP funds may only be used for the purposes of fulfilling program contractual obligations. As long as your SCTPP contract benefits are used to pay undergraduate tuition expenses, the SCTPP Fund provides that the value of those benefits will be equal to your child\u2019s actual tuition costs at a public college or university in South Carolina.\nThe SCTPP Fund is managed by Columbia Management and evaluated annually by an outside independent actuarial firm. In addition, SCTPP and the Fund must meet the federal guidelines to be an IRS 529 Qualified Tuition Plan. SCTPP is not backed by the full faith and credit of the State of South Carolina. However, the General Assembly approved legislation during the 1998 session to provide for a guaranteed refund of SCTPP account contributions and payments of interest in the amount of four percent per annum on those contributions in the event that the program should ever be discontinued and the SCTPP Fund dissolved.\nThe General Assembly passed the legislation below which was effective July 1, 2008.\nWhat is the difference between the Four-Year and Two-Year College/University Plans?\nThe Four-Year College/University Plan may be used to pay eligible undergraduate tuition (equal to block pricing) and mandatory fees for four years or eight semesters, at any accredited senior (four-year) higher education institution. Alternatively, the Two-Year College/University Plan may be used to pay eligible tuition (equal to block pricing) and mandatory fees for up to two years or four semesters, at any accredited junior (two-year) higher education institution or at a senior (four year) higher education institution.\nA child may be named as a SCTPP contract beneficiary in only one Four-Year College/University Plan for a total of no more than the equivalent of four years (8 semesters) of SCTPP contract benefits. The Two-Year College/University Plan may be used to pay eligible undergraduate tuition (equal to block pricing) and mandatory fees for two years (4 semesters), at any accredited senior or junior higher education institution. A child may be named as a SCTPP contract beneficiary in two Two-Year College/University Plans for a total of no more than four years or eight semesters, of SCTPP contract benefits.\nWhat if my child decides not to attend college or is unable to attend because of a disability?\nYou have several options to consider. If your child decides not to attend college after high school graduation, keep in mind that the benefits are good through the age of 30 (the age limit may be extended up to four years for his or her service in the military), or the contract is transferable to a younger family member, provided there is no usage on the account.\nRefunds can be processed in any situation. In the event that your child decides not to attend college or you need to withdraw the funds in your SCTPP account for a reason other than paying college expenses, a 10% IRS penalty will be imposed on the earnings portion of your refund. The account earnings will also then be subject to federal and State income taxation. The IRS penalty is waived if the refund is a result of the beneficiary\u2019s death, disability, or receipt of a scholarship.\nIs there a deadline by which my child must finish college or lose the benefits?\nYour SCTPP contract beneficiary has until age 30 to use the program\u2019s tuition benefits. The age limit may be extended up to four years for his or her service in the military. SCTPP benefits terminate when the beneficiary uses all semesters available, beneficiary receives an undergraduate degree OR the beneficiary reaches the age of 30 or 34 if beneficiary had military service.\n***The information provided in the question and answer section is intended to be general guidance related to this program.

Scholarship funding is generally more flexible and may be used to cover \u201ccost of attendance\u201d such as dormitory expenses, meals, laboratory fees, books, etc. Due to the rise in tuition and other fees, in most cases, it takes the SCTPP funding and scholarship funding to pay for the cost of attendance. Your SCTPP benefits can be held for future use or may be refunded to the contributor (owner) of the account on a semester-by-semester basis.\nSCTPP will issue scholarship reimbursement if the scholarship is for the full amount of the tuition and mandatory fee charges for a semester. The amount of the scholarship refund will include either the original purchase price plus the compounded Rate of Return earned by the Fund OR the current weighted average payout rate at colleges and universities in South Carolina, WHICHEVER IS LESS. Benefits will be deducted based on the actual credit hours billed/paid and capped at 16 credit hours.\nSCTPP DOES NOT ISSUE PARTIAL REFUNDS.\nYOU SHOULD COORDINATE BILLING AND PAYMENT OF SCTPP BENEFITS WITH THE UNIVERSITY'S BILLING OFFICE WHEN APPLIED IN CONJUCTION WITH A SCHOLARSHIP. The school's billing office will be able to tell you how they apply all forms of payments, whether it be scholarships or funds from your SCTPP account. Payment from SCTPP can reduce the amount of the scholarship award (including the LIFE Scholarship) in some instances. In the event that you do not properly coordinate your benefits and SCTPP pays the school for tuition expenses also covered by your scholarship award, THE PAID BENEFITS WILL BE DEDUCTED FROM YOUR SCTPP CONTRACT. THE PAYMENTS MADE TO A SCHOOL BY SCTPP ON YOUR BEHALF CANNOT BE RESERVED. THEREFORE, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE INVOICES FROM YOUR SCHOOL.\nIn order to process a scholarship refund, you must print the Scholarship Refund Request Form (.pdf), attach appropriate documentation and mail it to us or fax it to 800-519-4652.",

        "raw_content": "\u201cIt\u2019s the song that I sing because I have to.\u201d\u2013 Cary Ott, I Wouldn\u2019t Do That To You\nUnexpected loss shatters the story of our lives. We are left to stare at the pieces, and at the new absence\u2013 twisting our heads to try to understand what happened and what can be done. We hurt and we wander around inside ourselves. And then?\nSomething else certainly follows, but I\u2019m not sure that it happens in the way Roiphe describes above. How does one remake a life? Is a remake what we really need? Might this second part of the grief thing be more about accepting and being in our changed life vs. remaking it?\nOr maybe grief is never really any two parts, stages or any other neatly organized idea. Maybe it\u2019s just a hot, turning mess that we crawl, climb and pull ourselves through as best we can. And maybe the weirdest part of grief is that it\u2019s not outside of our lives at all, but just sharing space with everything else in it.\nThe book Knocked Up, Knocked Down (2010) by Monica Lemoine chronicles the lives of the author and her husband as they are hit by multiple pregnancy losses. At the memorial for their stillborn son, Lemoine\u2019s husband reads the following letter which speaks to the challenge of needing to both mourn and live:\nForgive me when I cry. It\u2019s certainly not what I would have taught you to do. Occasionally, I can\u2019t help it. I can\u2019t help it when I see your mother\u2019s face fill with pain. I can\u2019t help it when I replay her phone call in my head. \u201cThere\u2019s something wrong with the baby,\u201d she said. I can\u2019t help it when times that were supposed to be so joyous are filled with crushing disappointment\u2013the day of your baby shower, your due date, the three months of paternity leave that we would have spent together, all the baseball games that we would have watched and played. Forgive me when I cry, and know that I\u2019ll never forget the seven and a half months of joy you brought us.\nForgive me for the times that I don\u2019t cry. Most of the time, I can\u2019t help but be happy, and it\u2019s hard not to feel guilty about that. I can\u2019t help but be happy when your mother dances in the living room. I can\u2019t help it when family and friends visit and bring us food, prop us up with support, watch football and play ping-pong with us. I can\u2019t help but be happy that I\u2019m married to your mother and knowing that we\u2019ll make it, stay positive, and have more kids in the near future. I can\u2019t help being happy because it\u2019s my nature, and your mother brings it out in me, as she does in everyone else. Forgive me when I don\u2019t cry, and know that I\u2019ll never forget the seven and a half months of joy you brought us.\nThis letter moved me the first time I read it and I returned to it later to consider what was so compelling. I do find the immediacy of the grief touching. But what stands out for me in a second look is that it\u2019s a beautifully simple description of what it means to love, lose and then keep the door propped open to whatever feelings come calling.\nThere is no shying away from emotion in the words spoken by the Dad to his stillborn son. Instead, there is an open acknowledgement of attachment and feeling. He honors the baby who brought joy to their lives and the father-son relationship that exists (even without a living baby to make it tangible to others). He also is open about his considerable pain as well as periods of happiness as he sits with a bewildering absence.\nIt\u2019s so easy to do a \u201cpile on\u201d after baby loss\u2013 giving ourselves a hard time for having a hard time. I hear this from the women and couples I work with in questions such as \u201cam I dwelling on this?\u201d or \u201chow do I stop feeling this way?\u201d. Anxiety about \u201cmoving on\u201d or \u201cforgetting/betraying\u201d the baby make emotional movement to the other side (feeling less intense sadness) a landmine too. I remember feeling the same way. There is nothing clear or elegant about the acute grief experience with all of the accompanying pain, fear and confusion. It often makes a mess of us, at least for a while, and we want it to stop. I wish I didn\u2019t know what I look like when I cry and brush my teeth at the same time, but alas, from my time of living with the grief of losing my daughter, I do. It\u2019s just not a graceful time of life.\nSo I don\u2019t expect anyone to have a composed or enlightened version of their grief. I don\u2019t find it useful to tell people how to feel. But I am likely to suggest that they notice what they feel. I\u2019m also likely to remind people that whatever our emotional state is right now, it will change. The intensity of pain we experience in grief doesn\u2019t stay the same because it can\u2019t. And eventually, at whatever pace we need, some other feeling will appear. The emotional song you are compelled to sing at any given moment may be one that makes you cry or one that makes you smile and the next song may be quite different. It\u2019s enough to keep a heart very busy.\nLiving with grief can certainly feel messy and chaotic. It may make you feel a bit crazy to have your emotions become so unruly. But it\u2019s still you living a chapter of your life. You may be flooded with feelings about your past and reliving memories sweet or tragic. You may be full of hopes or heart-fluttering fears about your future. These are all signs of life. The next chapter, whatever it is, is going to be more of you living, and by surviving whatever you feel right now in this moment, you\u2019ve already begun.\nThis entry was posted in Acceptance, Grief and Change on April 17, 2015 by Donna Rothert, PhD.\n\u2190 Post-Traumatic Growth Here Now \u2192\nOne thought on \u201cAnd Then\u2026\u201d\nThis is so well written and holds so much good information for those who have experienced loss, perinatal or other. Reading this actually brought me a sense of calm. Thank you for this post. I will share.",

        "raw_content": "Liverpool, Juventus secure play-off spots\nPARIS, Aug 5, 2010 (AFP) - Former European champions Liverpool and Juventus guaranteed a heavyweight presence in the Europa League play-offs on Thursday after wrapping up their qualifying ties.\nRoy Hodgson's first home match as Liverpool manager ended in triumph as the five-time European kings overcame Rabotnicki of Macedonia 2-0 at Anfield for a 4-0 aggregate.\nFirst half goals by David Ngog and captain Steven Gerrard were enough to see Liverpool through.\nLiverpool's Joe Cole applauds the supporters after his first appearance at Anfield in Liverpool on August 5, 2010. AFP\nOn a day when the Chinese government's foreign investment arm denied funding a bid for the club, there was no confusion on the pitch about who was going through to the next stage of Europe's second-tier club competition.\nHaving established a 2-0 first leg lead in Skopje seven days ago, Hodgson's Anfield arrival was never in danger of turning sour.\nHe made sure of that by naming his strongest side available with Jamie Carragher and Glen Johnson starting along with Gerrard while new signing Joe Cole also impressed by setting up Ngog's headed opener.\n\"It's nice to be in the next round although, quite honestly, I thought we would be after that good performance in Skopje,\" said Hodgson.\n\"It was important tonight to be disciplined and have a quality performance and we certainly did that. Obviously we're just delighted to be in the next round, I'm sure that round will prove tougher than this one.\"\nCole was delighted with his home debut and was unlucky not to get on the scoresheet, hitting the woodwork in the second half.\n\"I was nervous before the game but it's always like that when you go to a new club,\" said former Chelsea star Cole.\n\"It was good to get 90 minutes in and get the win in the end. The main difference (at Anfield as a Liverpool player) is that I wasn't getting too much stick. That's different.\"\nJuventus rested a host of stars, but still moved into the next round with Alessandro Del Pierro coming off the bench to score the only goal in a 1-0 win over Irish side Shamrock Rovers.\nThe Italians had won the first leg 2-0 in Dublin last week.\nAustralian star Harry Kewell scored twice as Turkish side Galatasary made sure of their place in Friday's play-off draw with a 5-1 win at OFK Belgrade for a 7-3 aggregate.\nKewell struck in the 22nd minute and also converted a 57th-minute penalty.\nRed Star Belgrade, who were 1991 European Cup winners, were knocked out by Slovan Bratislava despite a 1-1 draw in Slovakia. The Serbian side had lost the first leg at home 2-1 a week ago.\nA day after Celtic crashed out of the Champions League, Motherwell salvaged a little Scottish pride with a 3-0 win over Norway's Aalesund for a 4-1 aggregate win.\nJamie Murphy, John Sutton scored in the in the opening 13 minutes at Fir Park with substitute Jonathan Page adding a third in the last minute for Craig Brown's team.\nFellow Scottish Premier League side Hibernian, 3-0 down from the first leg against Maribor of Slovenia, were knocked after losing the return 3-2 at Easter Road.",

        "raw_content": "Wrote this a year ago and the review is finally out in the latest issue of Uncle Jam (No. 106, Volume 43, Summer 2016).\nInfo about Uncle Jam and Phil Yeh here:\nhttp://www.sdcomicfest.org/phil-yeh/\nI wrote a shorter review of Asian Comics here:\nhttp://www.parkablogs.com/content/book-review-asian-comics-john-lent\nBut this is the full works. Go get.\nAsian Comics by John A. Lent (University Press of Mississippi, 2015)\nIt is fitting that I got the opportunity to review John Lent\u2019s Asian Comics for Uncle Jam. I first met John Lent, then Professor of Communications at Temple University, when he toured Southeast Asia in the early 1990s to research about its comics. He arrived in Singapore in 1992. I was then the comics editor for BigO, a rock-pop culture magazine and John soon tracked me down to interview me. In turn, I interviewed him for BigO and I got him to write for BigO as well. He recruited me for Witty World, the international cartoon magazine he started with Joe Szabo. It wasn\u2019t long before he introduced me to Phil Yeh, the publisher of Uncle Jam. The rest is history.\nOver the years, I have made use of many Lent-edited volumes for my own research into Singapore and Southeast Asian comics. He is a pioneer in this field and books like Asian Popular Culture (1995), Themes and Issues in Asian Cartooning: Cute, Cheap, Mad and Sexy (1999), Pulp Demons: International Dimensions of the Postwar Anti-Comics Campaign (1999), Illustrating Asia: Comics, Humor Magazines and Picture Books (2001), Comic Art in Africa, Asia, Australia and Latin America through 2000: An International Bibliography (2004) and Southeast Asian Cartoon Art: History, Trends and Problems (2014) are seminal reference books for anyone interested in Asian comics. That would also include the International Journal of Comic Art (IJOCA) which Lent has been putting out since 1999.\nNow, Lent has finally put together all his research on Asian comics since the 1980s into one oversized hardcover volume that is 342 pages. The book has 17 chapters and is divided into three sections: East Asia (China, Hong Kong, Korea, Taiwan), Southeast Asia (Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam), and South Asia (Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Sri Lanka). What is interesting is that there is no chapter on Japan. Lent explains that since there are so many books on Japanese manga, there is no need for a chapter on manga. However, the first chapter, \u2018A Lead-Up to Asian Comics: Early Asian Visual Humor and Narrative\u2019, explores the roots of manga in ukiyo-e (woodblock print). Still, the shadow of Japanese manga permeates throughout most of the chapters \u2013 the influx of manga titles into the Asian comic market since the 1980s and the strong influence of manga style among comic artists in countries like China, Taiwan and Thailand since the 1990s. I experienced this first hand when I conducted comic research trips to Hong Kong, Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Malaysia. For more on the impact of manga in global comics, one can look at Comics Worlds and the World of Comics: Towards Scholarship on a Global Scale (Global Manga Studies, Vol 1), edited by Jaqueline Berndt, published in 2010.\nLent\u2019s organizing method is the country approach, which he favoured for two reasons: \u2018each country is distinct culturally, linguistically, and politically\u2019, and \u2018to lump countries together thematically would integrate them in ways that are neither realistic nor appropriate\u2019. However, one can argue that Lent could have used both the country and thematic approaches in this book. There are some countries with similar histories that could have benefitted from a historical-thematic approach such as Singapore and Malaysia, China, Taiwan and Hong Kong, and Vietnam and Cambodia, or even Malaysia and Indonesia. A comparative approach outlining similarities and differences between these countries would have been enlightening and engaging. There is also a need for a chapter on the increasing number of female comic artists in Asia, which, to his credit, Lent has highlighted in his \u2018Introduction\u2019. For that, one has to look at \u202aInternational Perspectives on Shojo and Shojo Manga: The Influence of Girl Culture\u202c (edited by Masami Toku, 2015). There was also a special issue of IJOCA (13:2) from 2011, which had a series of articles on Southeast Asian female artists, exploring the themes and concerns.\u202c\u202c\nLent\u2019s strengths is allowing the artists to speak for themselves \u2013 largely a phenomenological approach that emphasized on the lived experience of people who are in the comic industry \u2013 \u2018it is essential to discover directly from those who lived through events what they know, believe and experienced\u2019. Lent conducted about 400 interviews with Asian comic editors, artists, writers, publishers, festival directors, shop owners, critics, academics, officials, comic pirates and animators. Having read much of Lent\u2019s writings, they are filled with details and what Clifford Geertz has termed as thick description. These interviews were conducted during the 60 trips to Asia that Lent made from 1986 to 2012 \u2013 all handwritten down in those A4 yellow writing pad that Lent uses. I remember them fondly when we first met in 1992 and again when he interviewed me in Singapore in 2000. We last met in Singapore in 2011 and he was still using the yellow writing pads. He must have a lifetime supply of them.\nThe mass communications approach employed by Lent focuses on the artists and industry (sales and distribution), which is very educational for any newcomers as it provides both historical and contemporary overviews of Asian comics such as the two waves of pirated comics in China\u2019s comic industry in the 1990s and 2000s. If there is something lacking about this approach, it is that it could have discussed more about the aesthetics of the different Asian comics, what makes them \u2018work\u2019 or to even explore whether there is such a thing as an Asian aesthetics in comics. But as Lent made clear in his \u2018Introduction\u2019, he saw himself as a \u2018gap plugger\u2019, to fill this hole in comics scholarship about Asian comics. It is meant to open the door for other comic scholars to go deeper into the topic and explore other areas. In this aspect, his work is groundbreaking and backbreaking \u2013 an almost 30 years effort that sees a professional in his late 70s (accompanied by his wife-fellow researcher, Xu Ying) flying all over Asia to get the untold stories of Asian comics.\nSuch an approach allows Lent to work fast, literally flying into a country, interviewing people (\u2018snowball approach\u2019 of meeting one cartoonist would lead to another), visiting studios, offices and shops, and flying to the next research site. Having focused on the comic art of Southeast Asian countries like Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and the Philippines in recent years, my own experience in research shows that repeated visits is necessary, especially to the different cities of a country like Indonesia. The comic scene of Jakarta is very different from the one in Bandung, Jogjakarta and Surabaya. The same goes for the different islands of the Philippines. A single research trip would not reveal the full nuances of a country\u2019s varied comic scenes \u2013 there is no one comic scene, but many.\nOften, Lent was at the right place and right time to interview many of the pioneers of Asian comics such as Tony Velasquez (the Philippines), Hua Junwu, Liao Bingxiong, and Ding Cong (China), many who have passed on. He had managed to save many original art from being thrown away as well, a sad fact about the disposable and ephemeral nature of comics in Asia. It is unfortunate that Asian Comics is printed in black and white. The sample artwork could not show the full diversity and colors of Asian comics.\nAsian Comics is indispensible as a primer, a route map into the worlds of Asian comics. Long may John Lent run.",

        "title": "The Importance of Keeping Your Website Up-to-Date - Slate ORM",
        "raw_content": "No matter what type of website you own, the goal is most likely to get people to visit it. A website with traffic can form communities, make money, and increase your reputation online. Getting traffic to your website is important, but getting those people to come back to your website more than once is of the utmost importance. The best way to do this is to keep your website up-to-date.\nKeeping Your Website Up-To-Date \u2013 Blog Updates\nIf you have a blog on your website, or if your website is actually a blog, you must update it regularly. The maximum amount of time between blog updates for a successful website is one week. Anything longer than that and readers will lose interest. There is no value in the same article or blog post over and over. Updating your blog once per day is ideal. This keeps website visitors coming back for new information and entertainment.\nKeeping Your Website Up-To-Date \u2013 News and Announcements\nWebsite visitors like to know what is going on with the website and if they can expect any new developments. Many websites have news or announcement sections displayed prominently on the top of the home page. Not only does this entice visitors to check back more frequently, it can also help increase attention from people interested in other topics. Keep this section up-to-date at all times: remove old news and add new announcements promptly.\nKeeping Your Website Up-To-Date \u2013 Check Links and Information\nNothing screams, \u201cworthless website!\u201d louder than broken links and out-of-date information. Broken links are links that point to places that no longer exist or are out of date. Check these frequently to avoid embarassment and to prevent loss of website visitor confidence. You can do this by clicking on every link, or use an online service that performs the task for you. Likewise, make sure the information contained in your website \u2013 or the links it points to \u2013 is up-to-date. Sharing news from two years ago is not a good idea.\nKeeping your website up-to-date is important for both internet business owners and personal website owners. If you want to entertain and inform your visitors, and encourage them to come back again and again, you must update regularly. Write new blog posts and give them more information, a new annecdote, or a graphic to view. Let them know what is coming up with news and announcements. And never scare them away by keeping old information and links active on your website.",

        "raw_content": "Taking the Message to the World\nProtecting Your Envorinment\nWe stand today on the threshold of the greatest opportunity that the church has ever known. We have been given a mandate or great calling from God to go into all the world and preach the gospel.\nNow some believers will tell you that, \ufffdI`m only one person, how can one person take the Word of God and shed it abroad in the hearts and minds of men?\nFirst things first. One person is called. If you will use your mouth to speak the gospel of Jesus Christ, you are fulfilling that calling and you are shedding the Word abroad into the hearts of those you come in contact with.\nSecondly, your calling is as important and vital to the Kingdom of God as any mega ministry. You are reaching people that they can`t reach, and they are reaching people that you can`t reach. Each ministry, each calling serves a purpose in God`s plan. But in order for all of us to operate in the fullness of our calling, we must take the message to the world. Our world, their world, but the world nonetheless.\nJesus told us in Matthew 24:14, \ufffdAnd this gospel (this good news) of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.\ufffd\nWe are the generation that will usher in the end of the church age. The end could come today before we finish this service. It could come tomorrow, or any day this week. The point is, time is short and we must work and gather now for tomorrow may be too late for the folks we need to reach.\nYou have a great calling. It may be to minister to your family or that co-worker who has been a challenge to everyone on the job. Not everyone is called to full time ministry and to travel this land or the world preaching the Word of God. Yet these two types of ministries are intertwined and vital to one another.\nThe full time ministry is to preach the Word and instruct not only sinners in the way of repentance and salvation, but also to train you in the way that you should go, and to send you out equipped with the Word to walk out your calling.\nYour job is to send those in full time ministry that they may do their job. Sending means to communicate (Galatians 6), to give financially into these ministries that they can do what they need to do to fulfill their mandate from God. It takes each of us working together, spiritually, mentally, physically, and financially to take the message to the world.\nWhen Jesus spoke of preaching the Gospel \ufffdin all the world\ufffd this planet was a very different place. Jesus and His disciples traveled on foot, and the Gospel was preached face-to-face. There were no other human alternatives. There was no mass transportation available, no television, no satellite communication, and no media.\nToday`s technology has literally revolutionized the world. Now, the Gospel can truly be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations! And we have the great opportunity to be alive during this generation and take part in what God is doing so dramatically around the world. I am convinced that we are part of the last move of God on this planet!\nMany times we get discouraged if we are unable to reach a person with the message of salvation. We have ministered and testified, yet they still seem unchanged. Child of God, you have done your job. The Bible declares in I Corinthians 3:7, \ufffd\ufffdneither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.\ufffd In other words, it doesn`t matter who sows or who waters, there will be no harvest unless God grants it. Our responsibility is only to go and to preach the Word. And He will bring the increase.\nIt may not seem like it to you, but together we can make an eternal difference in the lives of millions for the glory of God. What a great privilege we have, having the Word of God entrusted to us to share with others.\nAs we step up today to reach new heights in Jesus Christ, I want to share four points with you that will help each of us fulfill our calling and work together in taking the message to the world.\n1. Don`t look to the left or the right. When we look around we see the distractions that the world tries to throw at us. Each distraction is designed to knock us off the course to success and re-direct us onto the pathway to failure.\n2. Keep your eyes on the finish line. Keep your eyes\nfixed and focused on the goal/the prize. Marathon runners who have completed 25 of their 26-mile goal and have totally run out of energy to finish the race, will stare at the finish line. Focus only on the finish line. And somewhere they get the extra boost of juice to finish. Focus only on your calling!\n3. Don`t ever give up; keep running your race and don`t allow anything to slow you down. God called you. That`s that. He doesn`t change His mind. He doesn`t look at you and say, \ufffdOops, boy did I make a mistake. I shouldn`t have called them to do that.\ufffd You are called and have a job to do. Let`s get to it!\n4. In order to walk on water, you have to get out of the boat. You can`t keep hoping that someone gets saved. You can`t keep asking the Lord to send someone into an unsaved person`s life to reach them with the gospel. Get out of the boat, walk on the water and give them the Word that will change their eternity. Get out of the boat and be the person that crosses their path, to stop them in their tracks on the pathway to hell and redirect them to salvation through Jesus Christ.\nIn Hebrews 12:1, the Apostle Paul said, \ufffd\ufffdlet us run with patience the race that is set before us.\ufffd God`s mandate on this ministry compels us to keep running the race. We can`t look to the left or the right, we can`t slow down, and we must never give up. We must get out of the boat! Together, we must steadily run the race that is set before us! It`s harvest time!\n\ufffdSay not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? Behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.\ufffd (John 4:35)\nMillions are waiting to hear the Gospel for the first time. Are you willing to do whatever needs to be done to take the message to the world? The signs are everywhere that Jesus is coming again\ufffdand soon! It is time to step up and not cut back. It is time to take hold of and enlarge our vision. God has given us a divine directive: we must preach the Gospel, NOW!\nProtecting Your Environment\nScripture Reading: I Samuel 7:3-4\nAs modern times have crept into the lives of man and more and more conveniences have been developed to help us make it through our everyday life a little easier, it hasn`t come without a price. The price has been paid by our environment: our water, air, soil.\nOil refineries, chemical plants, manufacturing processes of all types chug along, 24 hours a day 7 days a week to produce what we \ufffdneed\ufffd. Cars and trucks are on the road non-stop. Our environment has suffered the consequences of worldly progress. It is the job of each individual to help clean up the mess. We must recycle, and conserve, and preserve to do our part in protecting the environment. We must see to it that the environment in which we live is a clean and healthy one so that our families can grow and thrive.\nToday, however, we are not here to talk about the physical environment of this earth. We are going to discuss something more eternally significant and spiritually important than that. We are going to look at the spiritual environment in which we dwell.\nEach one of us is living in the environment that we have chosen. Now I`m not talking about the house that you live in or the job that you work at. I am talking about the way of life that we have selected for ourselves: the atmosphere and environment of our homes and the actions and activities that we participate in. We have created that environment by free choice, and that environment is influenced by what we allow in it.\nClear thinking people wouldn`t dream of going to the dump and gathering up garbage and rotting waste materials and bringing them into their homes. That is not something that a person in their right mind would do. Yet many households are filled with the garbage of sin and contaminating evil, and they aren`t even aware of it. And that sin didn`t sneak in when no one was home. All too often it is brought in by the family itself: both intentionally and unintentionally.\nWhat are some of these things? The questionable TV shows that we allow ourselves, and our children to watch. The movies that we watch. The books and magazines that we read. The music that we listen to. The internet websites that we view. Our conversations, murmuring, gossiping, idle words. Remember what Jesus said about idle words? Matthew 12:36-37, \ufffdBut I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.\ufffd\nHere are some other examples of environmental hazards: the people that we invite over and the friends that our kids hang out with, the places that we go. The things that we do to relax\ufffdjust a little drink here or there, you know, \ufffdto calm my nerves\ufffd. Or you don`t even have to take part in these things, but if you allow them to come into your home, you have allowed your environment to be contaminated and compromised.\nIf there are children in the house, remember that their rooms are also part of the battleground and an area that the devil is trying to establish his environment in. Again, music. Posters. \ufffdOh, it is just a harmless poster of a singer or actor that they have a crush on.\ufffd They are not harmless. The Bible even tells us that we are to \ufffd\ufffdflee youthful lusts.\ufffd So evidently the Lord considers these \ufffdyouthful lusts\ufffd dangers to our environment.\nHusbands and wives, you must work diligently together. In the Word, by the Word, and because of the Word. You must work in agreement. There can be no division. There can be no compromise where the Word of God is concerned. Jesus had this to say in Matthew 12:25, \ufffd\ufffdEvery kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand.\ufffd\nMaintaining a healthy spiritual environment takes work, because the devil will be working against you. You throw something over the fence, and he will throw it back. He wants to exalt himself and his ways in your home and in your flesh. But the Word of God tells us to, \ufffdCast down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ (II Corinthians 10:5).\ufffd\nThe spiritual environment is a valuable piece of property. In the home and life of a believer, the angels of the Lord will fight on your behalf, enabled by the words of faith that you speak, to prevent the forces of darkness from taking over. The devil knows that this spiritual environment is absolutely necessary to the growth of the believer and his family. And he also knows that if the environment is in line with the Word of God, the believer is in position to be victorious in every area of life. No matter what the devil tries to throw against him.\nIt is our responsibility to create an environment for the blessings and presence of God. A place where the Holy Spirit is always welcomed and honored, a place where He is always active and never hindered. This environment is a place where the Word of God is spoken and obeyed, and a place where God loves to come and fellowship with YOU! James 4:8, \ufffdDraw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you\ufffd\ufffd\nLets start today cleaning up our environment. Lets get rid of those contaminated drums of sin that are hanging around out in the woods behind the barn. Get some super heavy-duty trash bags and fill them up with \ufffdevery weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us\ufffd(Hebrews 12:1).\ufffd Renew our spirits in the Lord. Increase our faith by hearing the Word (Romans 10:17). Walk in love (Ephesians 5:2). Walk in forgiveness (Mark 11:25).\nTake charge of your life. Take charge of your house. Take charge of your land. Take charge of your family. Take charge of the spirit realm that is all around you. Take charge of and influence your environment with the positive power of the Word of God that is in you. See to it that the environment that you dwell in is clean and healthy so you and your family can grow and thrive! Do all these things so \ufffdThat you might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; Strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated (transferred) us into the kingdom of His dear Son (Colossians 1:10-13).\ufffd\nThis is avialable on tape.",

        "raw_content": "The American industrial gases company Praxair Inc. and the German multinational chemical firm Linde AG have reportedly announced that their $86 billion merger deal is moving forward after successfully obtaining the U.S. antitrust approval.\nWith the approval, both companies have fulfilled the final closing conditions for the deal. The all-share merger deal would be creating an industry leading giant with revenues crossing around $27 billion, according to a 2017 estimate. The resulting firm \u2013 which would be called Linde plc \u2013 would reportedly be employing over 80,000 individuals across the world in over 100 nations.\nAccording to a press release by Praxair Inc., the European Commission gave its approval for its divestment business in Europe while the U.S. Fair Trade Commission (FTC) gave its clearance for the merger in the U.S. Both parties anticipate the transaction to be closed by October 31, 2018.\nBased on reliable reports, the shares of both companies received a significant boost following the announcement, with Praxair shares jumping up by 2.4% at 1335 GMT, while Linde shares rose 4%.\nThe FTC reportedly released a statement that said that as a part of a settlement regarding the charges of antitrust, both the firms would have to divest their assets inside nine industrial gas product markets in the U.S.\nAs per the terms of the agreement, the new firm would reportedly be registered in Dublin with board meetings to be held from a London office. Moreover, reports claim that the company\u2019s operating headquarters would be in Munich as well as Danbury in Connecticut. The company shares would reportedly be listed in both Frankfurt and New York.\nThe company Finance Chief Matt White and Chief Executive Steve Angel would be working out of the Danbury office, cite sources familiar to the matter. According to reports, both parties have to complete certain divestitures till January 29, 2019 in the U.S. Moreover, both firms are required to stay on as independent companies until most of the divestitures are completed.",

Focus on slavery, the Haitian slave rebellion of 1791-1804. Features commentary by many star academics, including David Theo Goldberg (who I have met and whose work I admire).\nIt is an Anglo-American account of race and racism with some attention paid to the French, Spanish and Portuguese colonial missions. I suppose the bias can be attributed to the time frame and the series seems to follow a chronological order. It is interesting that they say slavery was abolished by the British in 1833. But I know that it continued in the part of Australia I come from until 1901, the year the colonies there were granted independence from Britain. So-called 'blackbirding' was part of the economy of Queensland until that time and the workers continued on after then often in harsh conditions.\nLabels: Post Colonial",

        "raw_content": "For sale by owners: Is it really worth all the hassle?\nFor-sale-by-owner residential transactions are less than 15% of all home listings nationwide. According to a 1997 survey of homebuyers and sellers conducted by the National Association of REALTORS\u00ae, 68% of respondents sold their homes through a real estate professional. Of that percentage, 8% tried unsuccessfully to sell on their own. Only 13% of respondents sold their own homes.\nFurther, the research shows that 50% of those homeowners who did successfully sell their homes without a real estate professional's help vowed never to do it again, because of the complexities and hassles associated with the transaction.\nAmong the major problems cited:\nHolding open houses\nArranging for appraisals and inspections\nUnderstanding and filing paperwork\nHelping buyers obtain financing\nHaving time to do it all\nTrue, some homeowners may be able to save commission costs by selling on their own or using discount firms. However, people who try to sell their own homes deny themselves the benefit of a real estate professional who is trained to sell real estate on the terms most advantageous to their clients. An experienced REALTOR\u00ae can provide up-to-date reports, and has a clear understanding of local housing market and financing options. Brokers can provide more exposure, via multiple listing services, than most homeowners can obtain on their own.\nIn the vast majority of cases, it takes less time (and earns the homeowner more profit) to use a licensed real estate professional when selling a home.",

In corresponding transactions, Seattle placed reliever Tom Wilhelmsen on the 15-day disabled list and optioned OF Nori Aoki and ultility man Mike Freeman back to the Rainiers.\nLee, Venditte and Altavilla were available Saturday night when the Mariners played the third of four against the Chicago White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field (4:10 p.m. PT).\nLee, 34, hit .519 with two homers and six RBIs in seven games with Tacoma after being optioned Aug. 19. With Seattle, he hit .246 with 26 runs, six doubles, 13 home runs and 41 RBIs in 84 games. Prior to the All-Star break, Lee hit .288 with 12 home runs and 37 RBIs in 64 games. Lee is 6-for-55 in his past 20 MLB games.\nVenditte, 31, was acquired from Toronto Aug. 6 and reported to Tacoma. He went 1-0 with a 1.08 ERA. He posted a 5.19 ERA in eight relief appearances with Toronto earlier this season. Venditte is the first known full-time ambidextrous pitcher in MLB history.\nThe 23-year-old Altavilla, a 5-foot-11, 200-pounder, will be making his MLB debut. He went 7-3 with 16 saves in 43 relief appearances with Jackson this season.\nAltavilla is a native of McKeesport, PA., who attended Mercyhurst College (PA) from 2011-14. Altavilla was selected by Seattle in the fifth round of the 2014 draft after earning the inaugural Brett Tomko Award, given to the Most Outstanding Pitcher in NCAA Division II baseball.\nWilhelmsen, 32, was 0-1 with one save and a 3.20 ERA in 22 relief appearances with Seattle this season. He is going on the disabled list with back spasms.\nAoki, 34, hit .316 with five RBIs and a .362 on-base percentage in 31 games since being recalled July 20. He is being sent out because the Mariners will face several lefties over the next week and would have been of little.\nFreeman, 29, was recalled from Tacoma Thursday but did not appear in a game. Freeman was batting .290 in 17 games with the Rainiers. In one prior stint with Seattle this season, Freeman was two for six in two games. He made his Mariners debut Aug. 7 vs. the Angels.\nLHP Ariel Miranda (1-0, 5.49) will throw for Seattle Saturday night opposite LHP Jose Quintana (10-9, 2.94).\nThe Mariners are 6.5 games behind the Texas Rangers in the AL West and two back of the Baltimore Orioles for the second wild card slot.",

Ilyumzhinov claims that the extraterrestrials he met were humanoid and gave him a tour of their ship, and even took him to another world. According to Ilyumzhinov, his experience is backed by three witnesses who searched for him at his home after he had boarded the alien spaceship. Most revealing is that Ilyumzhinov appeared on Russia\u2019s no.1 rated television station, Channel One, which is 51% controlled by the Russian government. The interviewer, Vladimir Pozner, began the segment with questions about Ilyumzhinov\u2019s experience. This reveals that the host and producers knew in advance of what had happened, and wished to discuss it on air. Significantly, there was no censorship of Ilyumzhinov\u2019s experience which was immediately made available on the Channel One website. At the very least, this signifies that the Russiangovernment remains open to public debate on extraterrestrial life sparked by its most prominent television station. More importantly, the airing of Ilyumzhinov\u2019s experience may signal a covert attempt by Russian officials to prepare its citizens for eventual public disclosure of extraterrestrial life.\nI wouldn't be surprised it it happened there before it did here. The question is: would it be the truth -- there or here? Click here.",

        "raw_content": "Okay, I admit it, you caught me on the hop. I was miles away, blissed out in non-space. No, not daydreaming - a little further on from that. I was meditating.\nSometimes, when a plot line is fragmenting before my eyes or a character refuses to do what I tell them to (and, more importantly, doesn't give me any other suggestions), I retreat within. No mountain, lotus posture (not with these hips) or kaftan required. Just stillness and the breath. It needn't take long, just a few minutes to recalibrate and remind myself what it's all really about.\nDon't get me wrong, I do get through a surprising quantity of snack foods, chocolate (it's a separate category for me) and peppermint tea. And I often love the backdrop of jazz, classical or something from the sixties. But sometimes I get so tangled up and carried away by the business of writing that I forget it's a choice. And not in a good way.\nSo, here are a few thoughts about the benefits of meditation in the workplace - for those of us lucky enough to have that option.\n1. One of the objectives of meditation is integration. No more dichotomies between how you want to behave in your own time and how you feel you need to behave in work life.\n2. A mind that in clutter-free is more likely to respond well to stressful situations, difficult people (which could be the same thing), and changing priorities. You can become the still centre of the storm, regardless of what's going on around you.\n3. A clear mind is more receptive to intuition, creative inspiration and intelligent choices. Inner calm allows you to operate from a position of non-ego.\n4. Stillness begets stillness and peace begets peace. Call it non-violent protest if you want! Meditation reminds us that the workplace doesn't have to be a drama stage or a battlefield.\n5. Meditation reclaims the space, so that you have positive associations with work. Let's face it, if you were going to spend upwards of eight hours a day at work, a little tranquility wouldn't go amiss!\nHow do you keep it together when your writing is coming apart at the seams?\nLabels: chocolate, classical music, creative writing, jazz, meditation\nArrrrhhhh - I wish I had time to declutter my mind during the day, but usually it's like a brain on the trading floor at the New York Stock Exchange, being pulled this way and that..... *the joys of work*\nA minute a day is a start. As a friend once said: A little bit of something is better than a lot of nothing.\nI immerse myself in music for half an hour. If that doesn't work, mindless repetitive chores usually does it!\nStillness is very underrated! It's great to be able to take time out to realise that the world (not even our own little world around us) doesn't stop spinning if we pause for a moment. I always start the working day with a chat with God. Sometimes I'm in a hurry to get on - but that's probably when I need to do it the most!\nI'm also one of those people who can't listen to music while I work. Has to be silence!\nI walk. I'm lucky - I live in deepest Wiltshire and can be on the Downs in ten minutes, or under the trees of Savernake Forest.\nBut I wish I could master the art of meditation. I don't question the benefits, and have tried sitting, breathing etc - but somehow can't get my mind to just shut up! (But I do have one of those little Buddhas by my back door, so I suppose that's a start.)\nRebecca - I found that chopping firewood also puts me in that place where I stop thinking - but I have to pay attention!\nChloe - I think it always helps to see where we are in the grand scheme of things. As someone I knew used to say, 'This too shall pass.'\nJo - Trees always do it for me too. The point about meditation is that it's a process and at times you have to go through that mind-chatter stage. Maybe you could just stare at the Buddha statue for a bit!\nI am so with you on the meditation thing. A few minutes a day spent de-cluttering and just stopping the endless chatter is time so well spent. It might not always 'work' but the results come anyway if you persist. I find it keeps me sane in an insane world, and keeps me keeping on with this insane business that is writing. And it's free!",

        "title": "Suicide is not painless: Suicide and the bible",
        "raw_content": "Many people have asked the long debated question,\nis suicide biblical?\nThe truth? Yes. Meaning that it is in the bible, but suicide that is mentioned in God's living word isn't so easily discerned for those who do not follow, and even still, a challenge for those who do.\nSuicide can be debated, and has been infact, found to be morally and ethically wrong. While others still try to probe the bible trying to find truth and validity to such claims and come up empty handed, stating that it is a matter of personal choice and standards.\nWhile on some level that may be true, such as according to a non believer's stand point, believer's can take heart that the bible is quite clear on the matter. And if one is willing to go digging and delve deeper into God's word, they will find answers that are conclusive but are beyond the scope of just skimming the pages for the mere mention of the word.\nSimply put, by biblical standards suicide is wrong and holds no controversy both morally and ethically, but the proof that is needed to put this subject to the test (and at rest) isn't easily answered because\nChristianity itself is often misunderstood.\nSo very often we hear of scripture being taken out of context and perhaps used for one's own gain, whatever the reason, sometimes teachings that we once knew are not the way that things are.\nI read on line a debate about suicide and the pastor in his answer included Samson as a person who also took his own life in the bible. He went on in his explanation to excuse what he considers Samson's attempt at suicide. While I do not want to debate Samson at this time, it should be mentioned that Samson was the only one out of the individual suicides who called upon the Lord's name and asked for help in defeating the enemy. Looking at scripture in its rightful context, and knowing who the enemy was who captured Samson, his death is all the more likely that it was not in vain. Samson was a prisoner of war. His death was inevitable. The Philistines were a horrible group who thrived on the thrill of torture and slaughter- this is the reason Saul fell on his own sword. The philistines had a reputation and being captured was a fate worse than death. Samson's hair was cut and his eyes gouged out and he was sent to work as a slave. He endured the hardships in pain, blind and at the mercy of his enemy, reminded every day the strength and power from God he once had. He was reminded how weak he was without Him. But rather than give into self-pity and over wrought with grief, Samson siezed an opportunity to allow God to have the final say, and allow his body be used as a way to act out God's just punishment.\nHis death was not a suicide in the sense that we know suicide to be today. He did not want to die, but knew he was going to die as he could no longer literally see to find escape out of the situation, nor did he have strength. He asked the Lord to restore to him his strength once more so that he could smite God's enemy in a final defining blow. Knowing his surroundings by only touch, Samson could figure only one way out of this and he knew it would cause his death, and if he died, he knew it would be at the will of God as it was a consequence to Sampson's deliberate rebellion against God. Sampson's death was most definitely not a death that was meant to be in a way that ended his suffering by giving into his despair. In this reasoning, I do conclude that Samson can be excluded as any example of suicide in the bible. But this goes to show how many will try to excuse the act of suicide, and romanticize it in order to make extenuating circumstances valid towards the reasonings for it.\nTaking scenarios from the bible and taking them out of context and trying to make them fit into our lifestyles instead of making our lifestyles conform to sound biblical teaching is one way that we, believer's confuse or cause misunderstandings and misinterpretations. Again, I'm guilty for it, and as I will say ( and most likely repeat) that we are to work out our own salvation. Anything that we hear, learn or are taught has to be backed up with God's word, and should be tested to see if it does so.\nUltimately God has the final say and one simply cannot know if one is saved after one dies from suicide, and that is the ultimate question. Just as hearts were judged on the day of Calvary, God has the right to judge each heart to see if they are sincere or not. It is ultimately God's choice to have \"mercy on whom he will have mercy\" but suicide regardless, is something that should not be an excuse to escape life's tragedies and hardships. There are requirements set out for every single believer including one who is struggling with suicide, no one gets a free pass to over look the lessons and understandings given to us through God's word.\nThe bible is clear on the reality of death, sin and not following the direction of the teachings of Jesus Christ. ( And isn't this what suicide is contrary to- Jesus?)\nThis is where I would like us to begin so that your faith may be restored to you and abundantly so that you will no longer be overcome with the debilitating effects of suicide. God's word can be used as a tool against the effects of suicide, and actually defeat it if rightly divided and used correctly.\nThere is a cure against suicide, all it takes is a little bit of hope restored.",

        "raw_content": "My Exaggerated Life: Pat Conroy\u2014Q & A with author Katherine Clark\nIn Novels, Oral Biography, Reading, Southern writers, Writing\nI just finished reading the oral biography, My Exaggerated Life: Pat Conroy, as told to Katherine Clark. I was interested in the book for two reasons:\nFirst of all, Pat Conroy was my favorite fiction writer of all time, and The Prince of Tides is my favorite novel. I\u2019ve read all of his books, and was fortunate to meet him back in 2010. He was larger than life, humble, gregarious, and generous. And because of the abuse he suffered throughout his childhood, and later as a cadet at The Citadel, he understood its lifelong affects, and the therapy that writing provides.\nSecondly, I read Katherine Clark\u2019s debut novel, The Headmaster\u2019s Darlings, a couple of years ago, and was so impressed with her prose. (Read my blog post from June of 2016.) I\u2019m honored to have her contribute an essay to the collection I edited, Southern Writers on Writing, coming out May 1 from University Press of Mississippi. So I knew this was a book I had to read. And it did not disappoint. Her characters jumped off the page and her prose was elegant. Here\u2019s an interview she did about the novel with Patti Callahan Henry for Deep South Magazine, in September 2015.\nI haven\u2019t read the other novels in what is known as the Mountain Brook series, but they are on my \u201cto read\u201d list! Allen Mendenhall interviewed Katherine for Southern Literary Review, May 2017, for her novel The Harvard Bride, which was the third in the Mountain Brook Series.\nBut back to My Exaggerated Life. Much of what I loved about the book was Pat\u2019s wonderful advice to writers. This piece really spoke to me:\nThe one thing you have to avoid when you\u2019re writing is being afraid, because everybody makes you afraid. The critics will make you afraid. Your professors will make you afraid. The writers who teach you will make you afraid. Your friends will make you afraid. Your parents make you afraid. Society makes you afraid. Everybody has ways of putting you down as a writer. \u2018Were you on the best-seller list? How many did you sell? Did you make lots of money?\u2019 So everything is working against writers fully letting themselves flower unto themselves.\nLike Pat, I was sexually abused as a child and young adult, so I was very interested in what he had to say about how the abuse he suffered in childhood and later as a cadet at The Citadel affected him. And how the abuse affected his writing and how writing helped him heal:\nWriters like me have chosen a life of agony. Whatever it is we get out of ourselves, whatever poisons spill out of us, you\u2019ll see the results when they\u2019re published\u2026. Fiction is the most agonizing because fiction is us. Nonfiction is the other. Fiction is an absolute reflection of what we have going on inside of us, or what we do not have.\nLet\u2019s see what Katherine Clark has to say about this book, with a short interview. She agreed to answer three questions for me:\nSusan: I understand that My Exaggerated Life is the third oral biography you published. Can you tell us a bit about the genre, and how it differs from a biography or memoir? And how did you get interested in doing oral biographies?\nKatherine: Oral biography is an interesting genre because it offers a narrative that no one has actually written. In the case of MY EXAGGERATED LIFE, Pat Conroy did not write this memoir, nor did I write his biography. Instead, I recorded about 200 hours of conversation on the phone with him, had these recordings professionally transcribed, and then edited the transcripts into the narrative that forms the book. So it is comprised solely of Pat\u2019s spoken words. It\u2019s a great genre for capturing the genius of a true raconteur, and Pat was as great a raconteur as he was a writer. I first learned about this genre in college, when I read a book called All God\u2019s Dangers, by Theodore Rosengarten, who recorded an illiterate black sharecropper in Alabama whose brilliant stories illuminated a crucial chunk of Southern history.\nSusan: What was the editing process like, once you had recorded so many hours of conversations with Pat? How much of what we read in the book is verbatim what Pat said and how much is edited, if that\u2019s even possible to say?\nKatherine: Editing the material Pat Conroy gave me was a privilege and a pleasure. For one thing, it\u2019s always a great learning opportunity to work so closely with the words of a master storyteller. My job as an editor was to organize and structure the material into a coherent and compelling narrative, but the words are all Pat\u2019s. For example, the opening sentences of the book can be found in an interview I did with Pat several months after I started recording him. The words are his, but I was the one who chose for them to become the opening lines.\nSusan: I know that Pat died before he had a chance to read the final version, but you mention that his wife, Cassandra King, read it before it went to press, right? Can you tell us a bit about her reaction, which you refer to in the book? What about Bernie\u2019s reaction (which you don\u2019t refer to)? I met Bernie at a book signing Cassandra and I did in Beaufort last May, and I could immediately see why he and Pat were such good friends.\nKatherine: Pat\u2019s wife Cassandra did a heroic job of reading my manuscript the month after Pat died. At the time, she told me it was painful to read, because it sounded \u201cjust like Pat,\u201d and was a difficult reminder of her loss. But at least this was a sign that my book had succeeded in its mission of capturing Pat\u2019s voice. Sandra was a tremendous help to me in revising the manuscript, because I\u2019d counted on Pat\u2019s help to perfect it. She and I had ongoing discussions over many months, and during the course of these, she freely shared her opinions about which stories she was glad Pat had told me, and which ones she wished he had not. But she always had complete respect for my prerogative as editor to make the final decisions. I am lucky to be able to call her both colleague and friend.\nI\u2019m so grateful to Katherine for writing this incredible book, and for taking time for this short interview. This is a MUST READ for lovers of all things Pat Conroy, and just good southern literature.\nIf you\u2019re looking for a great writing conference to attend this summer, Katherine will be on a panel with me at the Alabama Writer\u2019s Conclave\u2019s Summer Conference in Orange Beach, Alabama, June 15-17, for SOUTHERN WRITERS ON WRITING, and she will be leading a workshop titled, \u201cThe Pleasures and Perils of Editing Oral Biographies.\u201d I\u2019ll be there sitting on the front row, wanting to learn more!",

        "raw_content": "By Agustin Reyna\nAgust\u00edn Reyna is the Chief Competition Advisor for The European Consumer Organisation, BEUC, representing 43 independent national consumer associations from 31 European countries. Within BEUC, Agust\u00edn coordinates the organisation\u2019s work on competition law enforcement and policy. He is responsible for providing the consumer viewpoint to the European Commission\u2019s competition directorate on cases affecting consumer markers.\nGoogle hit the headlines last year when the European Commission fined the tech giant \u20ac2.42 billion for breaching EU antitrust rules. It has been argued the European Commission has over-stepped the line here. After all, if people like and use Google services, where is the harm to consumers? The harm is clear: Google\u2019s anti-competitive behaviour has directly affected consumers by undermining their freedom to choose from a wider array of merchants and products.\nA (very) brief history of the Google Shopping case\nIn November 2010, the Commission opened an investigation into various parts of Google\u2019s popular search engine as a result of several complaints received against the company for abuse of dominance. At the core of the complaints: Google is disrupting competition by favouring its own services to the detriment of its competitors who depend on a fair listing in Google\u2019s search engine to strive. Google Search has a market share of over 90% in almost all EU countries.\nGoogle abuses its dominance in one market (search engines) to push away its competitors in another market (comparison websites). As a result, consumers are denied the possibility to find offers which might better reflect what they are looking for than those appearing on Google\u2019s websites.\nIn 2014, BEUC became a complainant against Google. We think that Google is unfairly favouring its vertical services across all kind of markets, including shopping, local search and travel.\nThe European Commission decided to focus its investigation on Google Shopping. According to the European antitrust body, Google had deliberately altered its algorithms so its own comparison services always appear at the top, and results from competitors automatically get a lower ranking, sometimes even disappearing from view.\nAfter two years of unfruitful negotiations with Google, the European Commission, under the stewardship of Commissioner Vestager, charged Google for abuse of dominant position and breach of the EU\u2019s antitrust laws. We all know what happened next [1].\nWhere is the consumer harm?\nSome have argued that the Commission failed to prove Google\u2019s behaviour harmed European consumers. Google itself says that everything they do is in the benefit of the user. We don\u2019t agree.\nConsumers are harmed because they might not get the most relevant results but rather those which are in Google\u2019s interest.\nTrusting Google to give them a result that corresponds to market reality, consumers will in fact find the merchants who are inside the Google Shopping box. What consumers will not know is that there might be other comparison sites offering other merchants, products and prices that could be better or more relevant for them than those displayed in Google\u2019s own service.\nThis is what happens if we compare the offers available in Google Shopping and a competing comparison site like Kelkoo, who has been hit by Google\u2019s anti-competitive behavior.\nWhen searching on Google.be for a new camera I only get prominently the results served by Google Shopping, which display the biggest merchants operating in the Belgian market. However, there is no sight of Kelkoo as a comparison site and neither of its merchants. Therefore, for these merchants it is almost impossible to reach consumers and compete with bigger retail firms.\nGoogle abuses its dominance in one market (search engines) to push away its competitors in another market (comparison websites). As a result, consumers are denied the possibility to find offers which might better reflect what they are looking for than those appearing on Google\u2019s websites. It\u2019s like walking down a shopping street but the pavement and streets are blocked beyond the Google-approved shops.\nIf Google continues favouring its own comparison services, competitors, such as Kelkoo, which depend on Google Search to reach their customers will be driven out of the market. The consequence will be less innovation and competition on quality comparison services. And that is exactly what consumer harm is about!\nLess comparison websites will mean that merchants end up with Google as the only company that they can use to reach consumers through Google Search. This would result in less innovation for tools to compare products, a cornerstone of a healthy e-commerce experience.\nThis case is about equal opportunities to compete- at the end of the day for the best consumer deal\nGoogle, with its dominant position in general search, has a special responsibility not to disrupt competition both for general search services and in neighboring markets such as shopping comparison or local search. And, quoting the Commission\u2019s decision, \u201ca system of undistorted competition can be guaranteed only if equality of opportunity is secured between all economic operators\u201d [2]. Google\u2019s favouring practice is not giving equal opportunities to those companies that want to compete on the merits and offer good innovative products to consumers.\nSome say that Google would be unable to monetise the advertising space on its search engine results if it was forced to treat all comparison sites equally. That\u2019s a fallacy. This case is not about Google\u2019s ability to make money out of the advertising space in its search engine or through the service it offers to merchants in Google Shopping [3]. This case is about giving all comparison sites which compete with Google Shopping the same possibility to appear when consumers make a query on Google Search.\nSo what happens now? The remedy proposed by Google does not address need to compete on merits\nNow the Commission has taken its decision, Google has no option but to comply. All eyes are now on how Google will implement the principle of equal treatment [4]. Google has presented an auction mechanism as a remedy to its anti-competitive conduct. BEUC and other complainants have raised concerns about such a model in which comparison sites would bid against each other and against Google to appear in the Shopping Box. This auction will not ensure that consumers get results based on merit, but more on the purchasing power of the bidders hence risking that only the biggest e-commerce firms will be displayed. The Commission should give a clear signal to market players that Google\u2019s auction model as it stands does not comply with its decision.\nTrusting Google to give them a reult that corresponds to market reality, consumers will in fact find the merchants who are inside the Google Shopping box. What consumers will not know is that there might be other comparison sites offering other merchants, products and prices that could be better or more relevant for them than those displayed in Google\u2019s own service.\nIn parallel, Google has appealed the decision before the General Court of the EU in Luxembourg, which will hopefully confirm the June 2017 decision. BEUC applied to intervene before the Court in support of the Commission to ensure that the European judges get European consumers\u2019 perspectives in this landmark case.\nWhat about the other areas on which Google strategically uses its dominant position?\nThe Google Shopping case is only one piece of a bigger jigsaw. Just like consumers use Google Search to look for cameras or shoes, they also use it to look for restaurants, dentists and hotels. In this area (technically called \u2018Local Search\u2019), Google does pretty much the same thing: it boosts its own review services by demoting its competitors. The consumer reviews site Yelp has been fighting Google over the last 6 years on this issue.\nNow that the Commission has set a precedent with the Google Shopping decision, it should look at other such vertical services.\nGoogle Search has become the gateway to the Internet. It is on every device consumers put in their houses, pockets or offices. Google\u2019s dominance of the search market is unparalleled. It is the Internet\u2019s most popular service and has become the entry point for so many other parts of the web. With such an important gatekeeping position comes an important degree of responsibility towards other market players and towards consumers.\nThe harm is clear: Google\u2019s anti-competitive behavior has directly affected consumers by undermining their freedom to choose from a wider array of merchants and products.\nThe EU\u2019s case on Google Shopping case is a very important first step to make sure Google stops abusing its dominance as a search engine to drown out its competitors in other areas. The objective is to give equal opportunities to all market players to compete on the basis of their own merit and gain consumers\u2019 trust on an equal footing. And for consumers, this case is ultimately about their freedom to choose and about how much innovation and diversity they will have access to.\n[1] Commission decision of 27/06/2017 relating to proceedings under Article 102 TFEU and Article 24 of the Agreement on the EEA in AT.39740 \u2013 Google Search (Shopping), hereafter \u201cthe decision\u201d\n[2] Paragraph 331 of the Decision\n[4] Paragraphs 699 and 700 of the Decision",

        "raw_content": "Monzo, the U.K. challenger bank, finally rolls out Apple Pay \u2013 TechCrunch\nMonzo, the U.K. challenger bank, has finally added Apple Pay to its mobile-only current account. The just over three year-old fintech says it has been one of the most requested features for its banking app, with over 2,000 mentions of Apple Pay on Monzo\u2019s forum, whilst its customer support team have been asked about the functionality more than 13,000 times. In other words, the rollout can\u2019t come soon enough. Noteworthy, Monzo was able to add Google Pay all the way back in October 2017.\nMeanwhile, many of its passionate and vocal users will be wondering what took Monzo so long (as an aside, rival challenger Starling was able to add Apple Pay in July 2017). The upstart bank, which usually makes a virtue of its community-driven approach and transparency hasn\u2019t been able to say (or even fully acknowledge that the feature was coming), likely because Apple imposes strict rules on the ways its partners communicate working with the tech giant. And when you sign an NDA with Apple it\u2019s not untypical for it to stipulate that you don\u2019t talk about said NDA.\nWhat we do know is that \u2014 similar to Apple\u2019s iOS App Store when submitting an app \u2014 the Apple Pay approval process for a new bank partner is not for the faint-hearted. Industry insiders tell me that Google Pay has less hurdles to jump in comparison.\nNow that the feature is live, Monzo is talking up the security and privacy aspect of using Apple Pay, noting that when you use a credit or debit card with Apple Pay, the actual card numbers are not stored on the device, nor on Apple servers. Instead, \u201ca unique Device Account Number is assigned, encrypted and securely stored in the Secure Element on your device\u2026 [and] each transaction is authorised with a one-time unique dynamic security code\u201d.\nOf course, most people simply like Apple Pay for its convenience, letting you use your phone to pay rather than fumbling for a debit or credit card, and when shopping online not having to repeatedly enter card details.\nCue Monzo\u2019s Tom Blomfield waxing lyrical in a company statement about Apple\u2019s design and UX. \u201cApple is famous for building beautiful products with simple, intuitive interfaces. Their design thinking has long been a source of inspiration for us.

        "title": "The Terror Trap: Blood & Lace",
        "raw_content": "What happens when no one has a child\u2019s best interest at heart? A quirky proto-slasher with both drive-in charm and a social conscience, Blood and Lace presents just such a scenario. It stands as director Philip S. Gilbert\u2019s only big screen effort, and it\u2019s a criminally overlooked one at that.\nIn the dead of night, a middle-aged woman (played by Louise Sherrill) and her lover (Joe Durkin) are attacked in bed by an unseen assailant with a hammer. The murder tool falls again and again, digging into their faces. The killer sets the room on fire and leaves as the gravely injured man musters enough strength to get off the bed.\nWe learn the woman was a prostitute, and her 18-year-old daughter Ellie (Melody Patterson) is now an orphan. Ellie\u2019s father is unknown, and she is temporarily put up in a hospital, where social worker Mr. Mullins (Milton Selzer) informs her that she is to be sent to an orphanage.\nDespite the objections of Mullins, Ellie tries to run away, but Calvin Carruthers (Vic Tayback), a detective, catches her and takes her back to the hospital. Ellie reluctantly discusses her mother\u2019s murder with Carruthers. She explains that she saw a man running from her mother\u2019s room. When asked whether the murderer was carrying a hammer, she says that she only sees it in her nightmares.\nThat night at the orphanage, a young man, Ernest (Peter Armstrong), tries to run away but is chased by the caretaker, Tom Kredge (Len Lesser). Kredge chops off Ernest\u2019s hand with a meat cleaver, but Ernest manages to make it into the forest, where he bleeds to death.\nMrs. Deere (Gloria Grahame), who runs the orphanage, is displeased to hear of Ernest\u2019s escape. The state pays her 150 dollars a month per child, and as it turns out, Deere has already killed three would-be runaways. She asks Kredge to take their bodies from the freezer and place them in the infirmary, where she hopes to pass them off as being under the weather when Mr. Mullins visits for a head count.\nThe next day, Mullins arrives with Ellie at the orphanage, and while Deere shows him around, Ellie meets some of the other wards, including Bunch (Terri Messina), a 16-year-old girl, and Walter (Ronald Taft), whom Ellie is immediately attracted to. Bunch quickly establishes that Walter is her boyfriend, which Walter then denies.\nMeanwhile, Deere tells Mullins that one girl, Jennifer (Maggie Corey), has been locked in the attic for trying to escape. She also informs him that three children are in the infirmary, and that Ernest has escaped. Deere asks Mullins not to report Ernest\u2019s escape, as this would result in him being sent to reform school. Mullins complies in return for favors of a sexual nature.\nWhile exploring the orphanage, Ellie happens upon the infirmary. The three occupants do not respond to her presence, and she is quickly escorted out by a threatening Kredge. When she later questions the other wards regarding the three children, she is told that there are NO kids in the infirmary, and that Ernest was not the first to run away from the orphanage.\nMrs. Deere quickly takes a disliking to Ellie and frankly expresses her bitterness about growing old and losing her beauty. Deere\u2019s late husband, Jameson, was a customer of Ellie\u2019s mother. Ellie later discovers a dehydrated Jennifer in the attic. Kredge threatens Ellie again when she tries to bring the girl some water.\nNot everyone is unfriendly towards Ellie. She has struck up a friendship with Walter, whom she tells of her plans to run away. He tries to dissuade her, but she tells him that she wants to find her father because she needs to know that she came from something better than her mother.\nKredge offers to help Ellie escape, asking her to meet him in the cellar. She does, but he attempts to rape her. Deere intercedes and tries to fire him. In Ellie\u2019s absence, however, Kredge blackmails Deere for a larger share of the money, saying that he has nothing to lose.\nHaving told Deere about Ellie\u2019s plan to escape, Walter apologizes to Ellie. Ellie explains that the man to whom her mother lost her virginity was her father, and that her mom blamed Ellie for what the pregnancy had done to her figure.\nMeanwhile, Deere talks to the body of her dead husband, which she stores in the cellar freezer. The financial pressure is getting to her, especially with Kredge demanding a larger share. That night, Ellie wakes up to find a disfigured man with a hammer leering at her. She screams...but Deere convinces the other wards that it was only a bad dream.\nThe following day, the jealous Bunch arranges for Ellie to find her in a compromising situation with Walter. Ellie is heartbroken and tries to leave the orphanage, but is caught by Kredge and locked in the cellar freezer. Mullins shows up to confront Deere with police accusations, and, with the help of Kredge, she kills him and opens the freezer.\nJust then, the disfigured intruder shows up and attacks Kredge. Ellie seizes the chance to make a run for it. The scarred man knocks Kredge down and pursues her. Deere drags Kredge into the freezer...but Jennifer locks the door on her, trapping the two murderers.\nEllie stumbles upon Ernest\u2019s body as her pursuer catches up to her. Admitting to her mother\u2019s murder, Ellie breaks down and begs for mercy from the man she assumes to be her mother\u2019s lover, disfigured by the fire.\nThe man then peels what turns out to be a mask from his face. It is Calvin Carruthers. She asks what will become of her...but Carruthers offers to keep her secret in return for her hand in marriage. Ellie accepts. Carruthers then tells her that her mother had lost her virginity to him. Realizing that she will now be married to her father, Ellie laughs hysterically.\nOne of the truly fun things about early 70\u2019s horror movies is that the slasher formula as we know it had not yet solidified. In 1978, Halloween popularized a specific style and structure, and many film makers sought to imitate its success. But before that, we find a wealth of experimentation.\nBlood and Lace is one such experiment, and it\u2019s definitely an odd bird. Several slasher elements are present: a respectable body count, an imperiled young heroine, a disfigured stalker, and even the requisite murder via subjective camera.\nOn the other hand, the plot moves through twists, turns, and improbabilities as multiple malignant characters vie for dominance. It\u2019s almost like a deliciously perverse soap opera - not least because of the overly dramatic music, which seems lifted from a far earlier source, adding its own eccentric touch to the movie.\nBlood and Lace is undeniably sleazy. In true Grindhouse style, themes of incest, rape, and prostitution are used for sheer shock value. However, the most disturbing aspect of this movie is its stance on humanity.\nEvery major character is despicable. Men are depicted either as weak individuals who allow themselves to be manipulated, or as threatening aggressors who use force or blackmail as means of sexual conquest. Mrs. Deere, Ellie, and Bunch, on the other hand, are skilled manipulators and not above using their bodies as bargaining chips.\nAnd Blood and Lace definitely belongs to its lead actresses. Veteran Gloria Grahame underplays the insanity of the hectoring Mrs. Deere to chilling perfection. Apparently, Deere does not fully grasp the concept of death.\n\u201cSo you see, Ellie, what you call death may be only the temporary absence of life,\u201d she explains, elaborating on her hope that one day, medical science will find a way to restore those who have passed away...like her husband. Grahame delivers the line with the calm conviction of someone firmly secure in her own perception of reality.\nThe troubled Ellie Masters is no less interesting from a storytelling point of view. A spunky heroine forced to fend for herself, Melody Patterson imbues her with just the right amount of sweetness to make the audience sympathize with her plight.\nThis allows the movie to save its best shock for the final scene, where we learn exactly who Ellie is and what she is capable of. The one person we care about turns out to be no less seedy than the dark world she inhabits.\nUnavailable in the digital format at the time of writing (officially, at least), Blood and Lace is way overdue for a legitimate release. It\u2019s cynical, cleverly constructed, creepy, and just plain entertaining.\nContributing writer Kim Bruun Dreyer is a native of Denmark who has gobbled up horror pictures from an early age. He concluded his university education with a thesis on textual references and the role of the subjective camera in slasher films, and has contributed to the Danish genre webzine UNCUT.DK. He enjoys listening to opera, performing in amateur Shakespeare productions, and curling up on the couch with a scary movie.",

        "raw_content": "Millenials retain faith | The Honolulu Advertiser | Hawaii's Newspaper\nMillenials retain faith\nYoung adults today are less church-connected than prior generations were when they were in their 20s. But a new study finds they're just about as spiritual as their parents and grandparents were at those ages.\nMembers of today's millennial generation, ages 18 to 29, are as likely to pray and believe in God as their elders were when they were young, says the report from Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life.\n\"They may be less religious, but they're not necessarily more secular\" than the Generation Xers or baby boomers who preceded them, says Alan Cooperman, associate director of research.\nThe study, \"Religion in the Millennial Generation,\" draws primarily on data from the 2008 Pew Religious Landscape Survey of 35,000 people and on the General Social Survey by the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago, which has measured aspects of religious affiliation and religiosity for decades.\nMillennials are significantly more likely than young adults in earlier generations to say they don't identify with any religious group.\nAmong millennials, 26 percent cite no religious identity, compared with 20 percent for most members of Generation X (born 1965-1980) at the same ages, and 13 percent for most of the baby boomers (born 1946-1964) at those ages.\nWorship attendance is sliding steadily, too: 18 percent of millennials say they attend worship nearly every week or more often, versus 21 percent of Gen Xers when they were in their 20s and 26 percent of boomers at those ages.\nNeither are millennials any more likely than earlier generations to turn toward a faith affiliation as they grow older.\n\"Where people start is where they end up, or if they move, it's away from religious ties, but they tend not to move on beliefs,\" Cooperman says.\nYet \"by several important measures, millennials often look a lot like their elders now and earlier generations when they were young,\" says Pew senior researcher Greg Smith.\nAmong millennials:\n\u2022 40 percent say religion is very important in their lives, similar to 39 percent of boomers at the same ages.\n\u2022 41 percent report praying daily, like 42 percent of Gen Xers as young adults.\n\u2022 53 percent are \"certain God exists;\" 55 percent of Gen Xers were certain at the same ages.\nThe study finds that as people age, they are more likely to say religion is very important in their lives, and they pray more frequently.\nIn the late 1970s, when most boomers were in their 20s or early 30s, 39 percent said religion was very important in their lives. Thirty years later, 60 percent of boomers say so.\nIn the early 1980s, 47 percent of baby boomers who were young adults at the time said they prayed daily. But 25 years later, 62 percent of this same group say they pray daily.",

        "raw_content": "Fahrenholtz Fails in Federal Court\nClancy DuBos reports that U.S. District Judge Peter Beer has declined to reinstate Jimmy Fahrenholtz as a candidate in the 2nd District U.S. House race. Judge Beer's ruling was based on res judicata, rather than any flaw in Fahrenholtz's claim that the state statute that lead to his disqualification was unconstitutional.\nFahrenholtz's mistake (the one most pertinent to Judge Beer's ruling, anyway) was pursuing his case all the way through state court. He should have removed it to federal court as soon as possible, since it dealt with a federal question. A federal court might have had a better understanding of the U.S. Constitution and more of a willingness to rule a state statute unconstitutional.\nThere are two very negative consequences to this ruling.\nFirst, the Democratic voters of the 2nd District won't have as broad a range of candidates as they could have had.\nSecond, Louisiana will probably go on using a constitutionally flawed qualifying form until it causes problems for some other candidate. Let us hope that that candidate's lawyer learns from Fahrenholtz's example.\nThis ruling is probably most advantageous to Helena Moreno and Bill Jefferson.\nAs the lone white candidate remaining in the Democratic primary, Moreno now has a very good chance of making it into a party runoff with Jefferson.\nJefferson, in turn, has a much better chance of winning a Democratic runoff against a white candidate than he would against another black candidate.\nSince the Democratic nominee is almost certain to win the general election, Louisiana's constitutionally clumsy attempt at political reform has probably ensured the re-election of a Congressman who is currently under indictment for bribery, racketeering, and money-laundering.\nSome of my previous posts on the Fahrenholtz case can be found here, here, here, here, and here.",

        "raw_content": "Lady Antebellum Select \u2018Heart Break\u2019 Title Track as Next Single [LISTEN]\nLady Antebellum have released \"Heart Break,\" the title track of their newest album, as their new single. Readers can press play below to listen.\nThe mid-tempo \"Heart Break\" is all about being happily single, taking some \"me time\" and not worrying about rolling solo. In the song's chorus, Hillary Scott sings, \u201cI\u2019m single for the summer / I won\u2019t rebound / One lover to another or be tied down / I\u2019m sleepin' like a queen in the California King I\u2019m in / I think it\u2019s time to take a heart break ...\u201d\nHeart Break\u2018s title track, which Charles Kelley calls one of his \u201cfavorite two or three songs off this record,\u201d is about much more than just a broken heart: \"It\u2019s a clever idea that Dave [Haywood] had about playing off that heartbreak. Sometimes, your heart needs a break \u2026,\" Kelley says. \"And that\u2019s what we did [by taking a hiatus in 2016]: We felt like our heart creatively needed a break, and we felt like the fans needed a break \u2026 [W]e needed to freshen it up, so it\u2019s got a lot of correlation to it.\u201d\nAdds Haywood, \"The concept of the song is not just heartbreak. It\u2019s about letting your heart take a break \u2026 You gotta have some time for yourself. You gotta have some time to relax in between things and relationships.\"\nHeart Break was released in June. Lady Antebellum spent the summer out on the road on their You Look Good World Tour, with Kelsea Ballerini and Brett Young serving as their opening acts; the North American leg of the tour concluded in Nashville on Saturday night (Sept. 9), but a list of upcoming overseas dates is available on the trio's website.\nListen to Lady Antebellum&apos;s \"Heart Break\"\nFiled Under: #NewMusicEveryday, Lady Antebellum",

        "title": "What are the Different Types of Divorce? - The Complete Lawyer - Legal News and Resources",
        "raw_content": "It may seem that while getting a divorce can be complicated, that there is really only one way to do it, just with different components. There are actually a few different ways of approaching the end of your marriage. The type of divorce you can get depends on how long you have been married, the state of your finances, if you have children or not, and the reasons you are getting divorced.\nMost states have a version of simplified or summary divorce. This is generally used for marriages of relatively short duration. The couple usually doesn\u2019t own much property, have substantial debt and are without children. They must be in agreement on all issues involved in the divorce, and all court paperwork must be filed jointly. Simplified divorces are usually very quick, and they usually don\u2019t require the involvement or expense of lawyers.\nIn an uncontested divorce, there is usually an attorney who represents the person who is asking for the divorce. The couple is in complete agreement on all issues, and they agree to have the case heard as an uncontested matter. Any written marital settlement agreement is signed off on by the parties before the divorce is final. If a court appearance is necessary for basic testimony, it\u2019s usually only the person petitioning for a divorce who needs to be there. An uncontested divorce is generally much quicker, less expensive, and less stressful than a contested divorce.\nA contested divorce is what most people think of when they think of divorce. In a contested divorce, the couple is not able to reach an agreement on their own, so they have to go to court for a trial. These issues usually have something to do with the division of child custody, assets, or property. Although it\u2019s not mandatory, each of the parties usually has a divorce lawyer representing their interests. It\u2019s far better to retain legal counsel in a contested divorce, especially when a party\u2019s emotions can get in the way of making sound decisions. A contested divorce can be resolved by a settlement before the trial, which allows both parties to be satisfied by the outcome.\nThose are the three different kinds of divorces. Parties might ultimately reach an agreement themselves, through mediation, a collaborative effort or even through a mutually agreed upon arbitrator. The better that two spouses are at civilly and honestly discussing issues, the less expensive and emotional the dissolution is likely to be.\nPrevious Post5 Idiosyncrasies of US Law\nNext Post5 Things You Need to Know About Privacy Law Before Installing Cameras",

The cause is a chronic lack of essential micronutrients in the diet, such as vitamins and minerals. The effects of these nutritional deficiencies may not be seen immediately, but the consequences can be severe. They include lower resistance to disease, mental impairment and even death.\nWhile many of the cases of hidden hunger are found in developing countries, this phenomenon is also a growing public health concern in developed countries. For example, iodine deficiency is the most common cause of preventable mental impairment and the UK ranks seventh among the ten most iodine-deficient nations. And data from the US shows that more than one in four children lacks calcium, magnesium or vitamin A, and more than one in two children are deficient in vitamin D and E.\nThere are several causes of hidden hunger in developed countries. The consumption of cheap, energy dense, nutritionally poor and heavily processed foods, particularly by poorer members of society, is a major factor. Even when fresh produce is consumed, there appears to be fewer micronutrients available than was once the case. This is due to issues such as soil health, caused by poor agricultural management and climate change.\nGrowing trend of veganism\nThe rapidly growing trend of veganism is likely to become another major contributor to hidden hunger in the developed world. According to the Vegan Society, the number of people switching to a vegan diet in the UK has risen more than fourfold in the last decade. A study commissioned by the Vegetarian Resource Group revealed that nearly 5% of the US population are vegetarian and about half of these are vegan.\nEating a plant-based diet may lower the risk of chronic disease and is good for the environment, but poorly planned vegan diets that do not replace the critical nutrients found in meat, can lead to serious micronutrient deficiencies.\nBone health is a concern for long-term vegans. Vegans are consistently reported to have lower intakes of calcium and vitamin D, with resultant lower blood levels of vitamin D and lower bone mineral density reported worldwide. Fracture rates are also nearly a third higher among vegans compared with the general population.\nOmega 3 and iodine levels are also lower compared with meat eaters, as are vitamin B12 levels. Vitamin B12 is most often obtained from animal foods, and higher rates of deficiency have been found in vegans compared with other vegetarians and meat eaters. The symptoms can be serious and include extreme tiredness and weakness, poor digestion and developmental delays in young children. Untreated, vitamin B12 deficiency can cause irreversible nerve damage.\nWhile getting less than the optimal amount of B12 is quite common in pregnant women and in less-developed countries, the reported frequencies of deficiencies among vegetarians and vegans in developed countries vary greatly in severity between age groups. Even low levels of vitamin B12, but not enough to be classed as deficient, may be bad for your health and increase your risk of heart disease.\nVitamin B12 deficiency is common in pregnancy. Anna Om/Shutterstock\nVegans can prevent micronutrient deficiency by consuming fortified foods (food with added vitamins and minerals) and taking supplements. But supplement use is often resisted by those on a plant-based diet and they have been reported to interfere with the absorption of other important nutrients.\nAlso, plant-derived vegan supplements tend to have low biological activity in humans. For example, studies show that vegan-friendly vitamin D2 supplements are less effective in raising blood vitamin D levels than the more widely used vitamin D3 supplements. Other supplements, such as vitamin B12, may be largely inactive in the body.\nHidden hunger is widely recognised and is being addressed in many parts of the developing world by well-organised and large-scale bio-fortification programmes. Perhaps something similar needs to be done to address hidden hunger in the West.\nThe high-performance vegan athlete \u2013 new research shows it is possible",

You just can\u2019t do the things that it looks like that we all think that it\u2019s (he\u2019s) doing.\u201d\nBoth of them also blamed Darren Lehmann and Steve Smith for the action-\n\u201cYou\u2019ve got to ask some tough questions of Steve Smith and Darren Lehmann,\u201d Smith said. \u201cThey\u2019ve obviously driven this process, they\u2019re the leadership. He\u2019s a guy who\u2019s played seven or eight Test matches. You can\u2019t see him deciding that this is what he\u2019s going to do on a given day. The decision was obviously taken behind the scenes. If it is sandpaper it\u2019s just really silly and not on.\u201d\n\u201cIf you bring in a foreign object and it tampers with the ball in some way then that has to be seriously looked at. You\u2019ve got to look at the process and say okay, let\u2019s get to the bottom of what it was? How did it happen?\u201d\n\u201cIt\u2019s not fair to nail Cameron Bancroft either. I don\u2019t think he would have made that decision by himself. We\u2019ve got to get to the bottom of it. When you get caught you\u2019ve got to own up and be honest and the Aussies have to be honest and say this is how it happened.\u201d\nAlso, Read This Girl Spent Rs 3 Crores On Surgeries To Look Like Kim Kardashian.

In 1620, when the Mayflower party landed, the area was occupied by the Nauset Tribe. Even though it was one of the earliest sites to be visited by the Europeans, a settlement wasn\u2019t actually established until 1644. The surrounding communities of Truro, Orleans, Wellfleet, Eastham and a section of Chatham were occupied at that time. Eastham proper was established in 1651.\nSitting to the north of the elbow, Eastham spans from Cape Cod Bay to the Atlantic Ocean. Its unique location makes it the gateway to most of the Cape Cod beaches that surround the tip. President John F, Kennedy founded the Cape Cod National Seashore that helps to protect the beautiful coast from erosion. It also helps to control overpopulation in the area that stresses the environment and can damage the delicate ecosystem in the area.\nThe Nauset Light, lightkeeper\u2019s home, and oil house are part of the National Seashore and one of the most popular of the tourist attractions in the area. In addition to the Eastham Windmill, there are many sites listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Old Coast Guard Station remained in service 1958 and is one of the most famous landmarks in the area, especially those who love anything to do with the ocean.\nOn Cape Cod, the area hosts a large number of bed and breakfasts, lodges, and inns that are designed to accommodate both families and solitary travelers. Cove Bluffs Inn, the Midway Motel, Eagle Wing Inn-Cape Cod, and the IVY cottage are well-known with tourists and are close by to many of the local historical attractions and fun spots. With the Cape being surrounded by water, kayaking, boating, fishing, sailing, and playing on the beach are common activities.\nThe entire Cape area has significant historical value and makes a great destination for parents who want to take their children someplace both educational and fun. There are several hiking trails and bike paths that connect one landmark to another. Visiting the area offers the perfect mix of fun with a hands-on history lesson that can teach kids about the first settlers who came to this country as well as the Native Americans who were waiting to greet them. Kids can walk the same paths and visit the same beaches where the pilgrims first came ashore giving them an idea of what the country was like over 300 years ago.\nWhile parts of the Cape Cod/Eastham area is protected from having too many people, Eastham proper is home to many different styles of architecture that span the past three centuries. Colonial homes, bungalows, cottages, and large mansions can all be found in the area. Luxury condos and apartment buildings dot the landscape for those who love the view of the ocean. For people who love the lifestyle New England offers, Eastham and the surrounding communities offer an opportunity to enjoy it to the fullest. Close enough to the ocean to taste the salt on the breeze while still being within driving distance of Boston, Eastham residents have everything they need to enjoy life to the fullest.",

        "title": "The Grim Tower (Of Observation): July 2016",
        "raw_content": "- WHAT I'VE BEEN DOING -\nAside from the storm activity, it's been very busy at the day job as of late. People are pretty much walking out with the whole store, so I barely have time to really make updates or do much of anything. If you haven't noticed, our layout has changed a little bit and I hope you'll like that a little better than what we had before.\n- THE GRIM TOWER.COM HAS BEEN ARCHIVED -\nI have also added the mostly complete backup link for The Grim Tower website, now hosted on archive.is. There's around a thousand pages that needed to be backed up in order to give a more user-friendly feel, and you should be able to browse the site just as well as you could when it was still up. (As of August 17 2016, the website will no longer exist in it's current form.) This took unbelievable amounts of time, so I hope you'll enjoy my efforts. There are only a few things that I did not feel the need to backup in the archive:\nNews Noise Reviews - All of these are posted on the New Noise Website, and these Tower posts were only short \"clickbait\" things that I'd rather not repeat.\nVideos/Streams - This is kind of obvious, since the archive only takes a \"screenshot\" of each page, rather than actually allowing for media elements to work. All of the materials can be accessed other places online though, so do not fret.\nThe main link for the page is here (https://archive.is/Ph13P) and you'll be able to find that also at the bottom of the menu on the right.\n- TOWARDS THE FUTURE -\nAs far as the future of my work is concerned, we're going to stay right here on the blog. My goal for this site is to possibly release three new reviews a day Mon-Fri. If possible, a new interview every week as well. I don't know what the future of the working world holds, but as far as I can see, I'll be able to do things like this for at while. I can't live on unemployment forever, and I have a lot of personal medical things that I need attended to in the meantime. As much as I love this work, I cannot devote every inch of myself to it, especially when I can't support myself with it. It's going to be treated as both a hobby and writing practice for the stories that I will also be working on. Like a morning/afternoon warm-up sort of deal. I've always despised money, especially when you need it just to be able to survive. As much as I would love to sit here and work on this stuff for months at a time, I won't be able to do it without at least some sort of financial side-backing (not related to this work of course) and whether that will be another day job or some sort of disability benefit (very difficult to obtain in the US, even with my condition) is still to be determined. But for now at least, I can say that you will see reviews and interviews popping up on this page at least until the end of the year. I believe that's not too far-reaching, assuming everything goes accordingly.\nI will still need a few more weeks to see everything through as far as this job is concerned, and it might not be realistically possible to start this work until the last week of August. We've still got clean-up to do here and that will be morning work (I'm not a morning person either.) But I will start updating as soon as I feel the time is right.\n- WHAT YOU WILL SEE -\nFirst couple of records in the folder I have are dated from April and May, believe it or not. Those were meant to be put up earlier, but they will go out first. Next you will see a lot of other reviews from a bit earlier in the year, stuff I've handpicked out of hundreds of derivative records. This is the stuff that really appealed to me, so I want to showcase it first. As far as those of you who have sent records, those will appear in New Noise, as they have always (depending on release dates, of course.) Submissions and the like will appear bundled along with the current week. If you mailed me a record and it's a bit past the deadline, those will also appear here before anything else. I'm still planning on covering a lot of new stuff as well, so keep your eyes opened for that. If my mobile cooperates, there will also be some stuff posted over at Transcending Obscurity. I still have an account there, so it's just copypasta after that. Although I also want to give them some exclusive interviews as well... Stay tuned.\nJust be patient, I'll be ready to post again soon enough. Additionally, I need to add that I'll begin all of this with a very controversial opening address that may even piss some people off. That's fine, as I've always taken the Howard Stern approach to this kind of business and I'm not going to sugarcoat my thoughts on a lot of things I've noticed recently and am getting what I feel is a bellyful of.\nBrief Hiatus!\nI'm going on a brief hiatus until the middle of August.

        "raw_content": "Diabetes in middle age a sign of pancreatic cancer \u2013 study\nDeveloping type 2 diabetes in middle age may be a sign of pancreatic cancer, according to research.\nHaving diabetes is known to approximately double the risk of pancreatic cancer, but the new study suggests if you are diagnosed with type 2 after the age of 50, it may be a sign you already have the deadly disease.\nMore than half \u2013 52.3 per cent \u2013 of pancreatic cancer cases among diabetics are in those who have been diagnosed less than three years before their cancer diagnosis.\nResearchers suggest in some cases diabetes may be caused by the cancer, and could act as an early warning sign for the killer disease.\nThe University of Southern California team did not speculate as to why the condition could be a sign of pancreatic cancer \u2013 and said their study just delved into the link between the two.\nAround 3.6 million people in the UK have diabetes, and 90 per cent of cases are type 2, which is often linked to being overweight or inactive.\nAlmost half of all new pancreatic cancer cases are diagnosed in people over 75, and it is uncommon in people under 40.\nYet in the past decade pancreatic cancer rates have increased and it has a poor survival rate as around 80 per cent of cases are diagnosed at a late stage.\nIn their study on African-American and Latino adults, researchers found the number of cases of the cancer among diabetics diagnosed in middle age is more than double the number of those diagnosed in earlier life.\nRecently diagnosed diabetes three times as common in pancreatic patients than among other cancers\nThe scientists found 16.4 per cent of people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer have diabetes that was diagnosed within the last three years.\nThis is striking when compared with other cancers \u2013 recently-diagnosed diabetes is only found in 6.7 per cent of bowel cancer patients, 5.3 per cent of those with breast cancer, and 5.5 per cent of prostate cancer patients.\nPrevious studies found there was a twofold higher risk of developing pancreatic cancer among diabetes patients.\nThose with an African or South American heritage have a 2.3 times higher risk.\n\u201cThis striking relationship [with] recent-onset diabetes is unique to pancreatic cancer, and is not seen in breast, prostate and colorectal cancer,\u201d said one of the paper\u2019s authors, Dr Wendy Setiawan.\n\u201cOur findings strongly support the hypothesis that recent-onset diabetes is a consequence of pancreatic cancer and that long-standing diabetes is a risk factor for this cancer.\u201d\nFindings could lead to earlier diagnosis of killer disease\nThe scientists suggest those patients with both conditions could be studied more closely to find other early warning signs for the deadly cancer, which often goes unnoticed until it is too late for lifesaving treatment.\nThey may also be targeted for development of the tests that are needed for earlier diagnosis.\nDr Setiawan said: \u2018Because most people with pancreatic cancer are diagnosed at a late stage, the five-year survival rate is low \u2013 about 8 per cent.\n\u201cIdentifying people who are at high risk early on could potentially save their lives.\n\u201cImportantly, here we show that the association of recent-onset diabetes with pancreatic cancer is observed in African Americans and Latinos, two understudied minority populations.\u201d\nThe study looked at recent-onset diabetes and pancreatic cancer in African Americans and Latinos, two minority populations with high diabetes risk.\nA total of 15,833 people \u2013 32.3 per cent of the participants \u2013 developed diabetes between 1993 and 2013. Some 408 people developed pancreatic cancer.\nDuring an average follow-up of 14 years, 128 of the people diagnosed with diabetes developed pancreatic cancer.\nAmong participants without diabetes, 280 people developed pancreatic cancer.\nMore than half \u2013 52.3 per cent \u2013 of people who had both pancreatic cancer and diabetes were diagnosed with diabetes less than three years before they were diagnosed with cancer.\nThe study was published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, published by Oxford University Press.\nNgirici's brother gets bail in contraband sugar case\nTrump tariffs: US escalates trade threats to China",

She has 24 years of experience in the human physical therapy profession, specializing in orthopedics and sports medicine. In 1999, Tammy completed a 4 year certification and became a Guild Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner\u00ae. This training in Functional Integration\u00ae manual techniques has laid an important foundation in building upon her effective canine treatment skills. From 1999 until 2003, Dr. Wolfe owned a private physical therapy clinic in Northglenn, Colorado. She began working with canines at Huron Animal Hospital in 2002. In February of 2003, she joined the rehabilitation team at Alameda East Veterinary Hospital. She was certified in canine rehabilitation by the University of Tennessee in their second graduating class in December 2003.\nDr. Wolfe\u2019s extensive experience and continuing education has allowed her to become one of the trailblazers in the field of animal physical therapy. Based on the concepts of neuroplasticity, she has developed her own unique manual technique, the Wolfe Kinetic Technique\u00ae, which has proven amazing effectiveness with rehabilitating multiple species. She has published articles in veterinary and physical therapy professional journals, and she consistently conducts research to promote a scientifically based practice, and to continue to be on the cutting edge of animal physical therapy techniques. Dr. Wolfe is the exclusive physical therapist of the Denver Zoo, and because of her experience and reputation, veterinary professionals worldwide come to her to learn. She is an active member of the North American Feldenkrais Guild, and the Animal Special Interest group, and Orthopedic Section of the American Physical Therapy Association.\nJane MacGregor, PT, CCRT\nJane MacGregor is a Colorado native, graduating from the University of Colorado in Boulder with a Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise Physiology. She completed her Physical Therapy degree in 1983 at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center in Denver and relocated to Michigan where she worked as both a staff therapist and as Director of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation overseeing the physical, occupational, and speech therapy departments. While in Michigan she received extensive training in a variety of manual techniques which led to her interest in orthopedics as a specialty. She returned to Colorado in 1986 to focus on orthopedics and sports medicine in an outpatient physical therapy setting, working with a diverse patient population including dancers of the Colorado Ballet and those with spinal and TMJ dysfunction.\nHaving always had an affinity with and passion for animals, and desiring to apply the positive benefits of physical therapy to the canine population, Jane received her certification in canine rehabilitation from the Canine Rehabilitation Institute in April 2015 and joined the team at the K9 Body Shop that same year. She has also provided canine rehabilitation services for VCA Alameda East Veterinary Hospital in Denver, and has obtained further training in veterinary orthotics and prosthetics, advanced spine techniques including the Wolfe Kinetic Technique\u00ae, and the specific needs of the canine geriatric population.\nWith the belief that gaining the trust of a dog is essential for successful rehabilitation to occur, Jane uses a gentle approach to develop a bond with each of her patients, and works to improve their quality of life through individualized treatments and a sensitivity to their needs.\nJane is an active member of the Animal Special Interest Group and Orthopedic Section of the American Physical Therapy Association.\nChelsea Wells, DPT, PT, CCRP\nDr. Chelsea Wells\u2019 journey with canine physical therapy began in 2008 when she interned with Dr. Tammy Wolfe at the rehabilitation center at Alameda East Veterinary Hospital. She proceeded to spend 2 more summers with Dr. Wolfe as an intern then worked as a physical therapy aid at The K9 Body Shop for 3 years. Dr. Wells graduated from Colorado State University in 2012 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biological Sciences and a minor in Biomedical Sciences. From there she received her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of St. Augustine in Austin, Texas. The University of St. Augustine provided a manual therapy heavy curriculum including extensive training in joint and spinal biomechanics and manipulation in conjunction with orthopedic and neurological treatments. She has also taken the basic and advanced Wolfe Kinetic Technique courses taught by our own Dr. Wolfe and has completed her canine rehabilitation certification through the University of Tennessee.\nDr. Wells continues to work part time as a home health physical therapist for humans along with her time at The K9 Body Shop. She has always had a love for animals and that is where her true passion lies, however she greatly enjoys enriching the lives of the human geriatric community while giving them the tools they need to remain independent for as long as possible.",

        "raw_content": "Will the Democratic Party lead the resistance to Trump and stand at the forefront of the populist revolt currently brewing, or will we be forced to abandon it altogether as we build the truly democratic and sustainable communities and nation so many of us seek? On February 23 the party will choose its new leadership, and judging from the comments and behavior of many Democrats in Congress since the election of Donald J. Trump as President, it remains to be seen if Democrats have learned any truly insightful lessons from its breathtaking loss. Read on for an urgent message from the Progressive Democrats of America, the folks who helped convince Bernie Sanders to run for President of the United States. Please consider helping the PDA convince Democrats to chart an entirely new & progressive course for the future. \u2013 RR\nProgressive Democrats of America (PDA) strongly supports our Advisory Board Member Rep. Keith Ellison for Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chair. We know Keith Ellison very well. We\u2019ve worked with him on important legislation. We know he\u2019ll bring the Unity, Experience, and Organizing we desperately need to make progress. His judgment is sound, his attitudes are positive, and his intentions are honorable.\nThe list of Congress members, unions, advocacy groups, and individuals who have endorsed Keith Ellison is long and growing. Here is his vision for the party, in his own words:\nWe must energize Democratic activists across the country and give them the tools to build the Party from the bottom up. Beyond a 50-state strategy, we need a 3,143-county strategy. DNC members are on the front lines in these states and counties, and we must harness your experience and give you a meaningful voice as we set the direction for the Party. In a DNC Chair, you need a partner and an advocate who will ensure you have the resources you need to win.\nIf you agree with Keith\u2019s \u201c3,143-county strategy\u201d that would give you a meaningful voice in the Party, please donate generously now to help Keith win! Money tight? Then click here to sign on to help Keith in other ways. Connect with Mike Fox to help us push the Democratic Party toward the progressive grassroots.\nWorking people and activists are joining U.S. Senators including Bernie Sanders, Liz Warren, Tammy Baldwin, Al Franken, and Leader Chuck Schumer, as well as Representatives including John Conyers (MI-13), Elijah Cummings (MD-07), Tulsi Gabbard (HI-02), Luis V. Gutierrez (IL-04), Mike Honda (CA-17), Mark Pocan (WI-02), Gwen Moore (WI-04), Bonnie Watson Coleman (NJ-12), Rick Nolan (MN-08), Raul Grijalva (AZ-03), John Lewis (GA-5) and many more. Click here to join us!\nA massive and still-growing groundswell of grassroots progressives, unions, and Democratic Party groups from around the country are working together to help elect Keith Ellison to be DNC Chairperson. Please click here to let Mike know if you are willing to help out! Several unions and public advocacy groups including the AFL-CIO, the United Steelworkers, Americans for Democratic Action, Communications Workers of America, the Working Families Party, Social Security Works, and of course Progressive Democrats of America, are backing Keith.\nPDA\u2019s friends Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield are as brilliant in their analysis as they are in making their amazing Ben and Jerry\u2019s ice cream. In a recent op-ed, they wrote:\nOn Feb. 23, about 400 Democratic Party leaders will meet to elect the next chair of the Democratic National Committee. Their choice is between the usual party insiders and Rep. Keith Ellison, the co-chair of the Progressive Caucus and a young rising star, endorsed by Bernie Sanders, who can inspire the next generation of Democratic voters.\nWho gets chosen will shape the future of the political party and the future of our country. We have one simple piece of advice: listen to the people, not special interests, not party elites, but the people. We know rank-and-file Democrats and independents don\u2019t get to vote on who becomes chair of the party, but it\u2019s time to think differently.\nSince 2008, the Democrats have lost 11 governorships, 13 U.S. Senate seats, 69 House seats, and more than 900 state legislative seats. And in 2016, the Democratic nominee lost to an unlikable and unlikely buffoon. If the Democratic Party doesn\u2019t change its direction, we\u2019re likely to end up where we\u2019re headed.\nFrom President Obama\u2019s home state, the Illinois Democratic County Chairmen\u2019s Association endorsed Keith for DNC Chair, and their analysis closely parallels Ben and Jerry\u2019s:\nThe 2016 General Election sent a clear signal to the Democratic Party. Voters are calling for change. Focusing on growing the middle class and addressing economic issues, such as living wages for the underpaid and underemployed, needs to be at the core of what the Democratic Party stands for. That is why the Executive Board of the Illinois Democratic County Chairmen\u2019s Association has voted to endorse Congressman Keith Ellison for Chairman of the Democratic National Committee.\nIDCCA President Doug House said \u201cCongressman Ellison has the experience, ability to unify, the vision and fundraising experience with grassroots and large donors to lead the Democratic National Committee. His plan of grassroots organizing and training at the local level are at the core of what the IDCCA does. We are proud to stand with and endorse Keith Ellison.\u201d\nStep up and get involved! If you can, please donate generously now to help Keith win!. Money tight? Then sign up with Mike Fox to help us push the Democratic Party toward the progressive grassroots, by taking over the decision-making from the bottom up!\nLocal party positions at the precinct level are always opening up. Some organizing meetings to elect local and state party leaders have already passed, but some are approaching. We need your help now to take back the Democratic Party from the corporations and lobbyists! Please click here to let Mike Fox know if you are: currently an elected/voting member of your local, county, ward, or state Democratic Party; willing to run for a position in a Democratic Party entity; and/or willing to run for a DNC position.\nWe know taking back the Democratic Party from the corporations and lobbyists won\u2019t be easy or cheap. We need resources to organize behind strong candidates for local, state, and national offices. Pitch in $500, $50, or whatever you can right now.\nOn to bringing the party back to it\u2019s progressive roots!\nMike Hersh for Donna, Judy, Mike F, Kim, Janis, Deb, Dan, Teva, and Amos\nYour Progressive Democrats of America National Team\nP.S.

        "raw_content": "Last Thursday, students were able to channel their artistic talents and create their own masterpieces with \u201cBob Ross Night\u201d hosted by the Wittenberg Art League (WAL).\nWAL provided a fun night showing the teachings of the late Bob Ross, who became popular on PBS programming with his show, \u201cThe Joy of Painting.\u201d The supplies were all provided by WAL, as well as some refreshments.\nKnown for his beautiful landscapes, the participants tried to follow along with one of Ross\u2019 episodes.\n\u201cThe idea came about last semester when our president Kate Egald suggested brainstorming ideas to get more people to come to events,\u201d said Melissa Miller, the treasurer of the club. \u201cWe decided on Bob Ross because of his popularity, and because he seemed really fun to follow along with.\u201d\nCaitlin Green, the president of the club was very happy with the event overall. \u201cWe hit a few problems; the room got switched at the last minute, but it worked out great still.\u201d\nThe event had a good turnout, with a total of 14 students. Even though the room consisted of all girls, there was still a diverse group, from art majors to students who have rarely picked up a paint brush.\nWhile Ross was able to created a richly detailed landscape by the end of the 30 minutes, the students took it at their own pace, pausing to see the progress Ross had made on his.\nThe room was full of laughter and banter, with each and every painter enjoying themselves regardless of the final outcome. As Ross would say, \u201cthere are no mistakes in painting, only happy accidents.\u201d Prizes were awarded to the top three paintings as a little incentive to follow along.\n\u201cIt was actually hard to choose from what we got,\u201d said Green. \u201cThere were a lot of really good paintings which was great!\u201d\nThe group is also trying to sponsor a few more events this semester, including a walking group to go view the Ansel Adams show at the Springfield Art Museum, a trip to the Columbus Art Museum, and a chance to curate a show along with faculty later in the semester.\n\u201cOur goal is to create a community in the arts on campus, and in Springfield,\u201d said Green. \u201cWe want this group to be about art and the appreciation of art, regardless of your major or artistic abilities.\u201d\nBe on the lookout for these upcoming events, and \u201clike\u201d their Facebook page for information: www.facebook.com/wittenbergartleague.",

        "raw_content": "Doctors have developed an \u201cartificial ovary\u201d from human eggs and tissue so as to aid women to give birth after the treatment for cancer and different other therapies that can harm women\u2019s fertility.\nThe group in Copenhagen demonstrated that a lab-made ovary could sustain life of human eggs for a considerable length of time at once, raising expectations that the approach would someday be able to aid women in starting families of their own after undergoing difficult procedures, for example, radiotherapy and chemotherapy.\nThe implanted ovaries are expected to help women suffering from the blood disorder, named thalassemia and even in multiple sclerosis. The treatment of such diseases requires extensive therapies which are seen to harm the fertility quotient in women. The discovery also seems helpful for women having early menopause.\nWomen who undergo cancer diagnosis and treatment would now be able to get their ovaries removed and frozen before they start the treatment. When they are declared cancer-free, the ovaries could be put back and they would work the same to get pregnant, naturally.\nFor most patients, the process is said to be safe, yet certain tumors, for example, ovarian or leukemia, can attack the ovarian tissue as well. This implies when preserved tissue is defrosted and returned, there is a change of getting relapsed by the tumor once again. Therefore, the option to freeze ovarian tissue is hardly offered to patients with high-risk.\nSusanne Pors and others at the Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen accept artificial ovaries could be a more secure alternative. The doctors at that point seeded this platform with many human follicles, the small sacs that hold initial-stage eggs. Pors, on Monday, would be addressing and telling in a yearly meeting of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology at Barcelona, about the method with which the team implanted the artificial ovary.\nArtificial Ovaries\nFertility-damaging Treatment",

        "raw_content": "Birchforest\nMarielin Simons is a recent graduate from the Studio Art program at Minerva Art Academy in Groningen, The Netherlands.\nNature fascinates me, especially the woodlands. In the forest, the beams of light that fall through the canopy, the different smells of soil and sap, and the tell-tale tones of the seasons and the passing of time all tell a different tale.\nI am increasingly curious about how my view on nature is reflected in a modern and technological world. It seems that people have a desire for unspoiled nature in which they feel stress-free and comfortable. Technology has affected society and its surroundings in a number of ways: the gradual disappearance of barriers of communication, the development of a global economy, and unwanted side effects such as pollution and the depletion of natural resources.\nIn the various implementations of technology and the prominence of efficiency, I observe a paradox: the more pervasive technology becomes, the more desire we experience towards nature. This is the contract I attempt to facilitate through my work.\nMy working method is thus characterized by this notion: on the one hand I aim to draw upon untouched, pristine nature, whilst simultaneously referring to the distance we have created between ourselves and the natural world from whence we came.\nwww.marielinsimons.com",

        "title": "The Tragic Tale of the Canadian Horse \u2014 The Canadiana Project",
        "raw_content": "It\u2019s been called \u201cThe Horse of Steel\u201d and \u201cThe Little Iron Horse.\u201d It\u2019s a distinctly Canadian breed, with roots stretching back more than 300 years to the early French-Canadian pioneers. It had to be a rugged breed to survive the rigours of the Canadian climate \u00ad\u2014 and in the centuries since, that toughness has served it well: the Canadian Horse has plowed fields, hauled wood, and even fought on the frontlines in times of war. But as strong as it is, the Canadian Horse has barely survived: more than once, the National Horse of Canada has nearly gone extinct. And today, it\u2019s still in danger.\nThe story of the Canadian Horse begins in the summer of 1665. That\u2019s when the first horses arrived in Canada. They were sent straight from the Royal Stables of King Louis XIV, the Sun King, the longest-reigning monarch in European history, the ruler who turned Versailles into one of the world\u2019s great palaces.\nKing Louis was determined to solidify his empire in Canada. His subjects in New France had been fighting a series of conflicts for decades, struggling for control of the fur trade. The Beaver Wars soaked the eastern half of the continent in blood as the French and their Wendat allies clashed with the British and the Haudenosaunee. So, Louis decided to send reinforcements. More than a thousand soldiers were sent across the ocean, along with hundreds of filles du roi \u2014 single women meant to be married off in an effort to increase the population. And along with the human beings, King Louis sent some equine reinforcements as well.\nThere were 22 horses in the first shipment: two stallions and twenty mares. But the months-long journey across the Atlantic was brutal. By the time they reached New France, eight of the mares had died. Only fourteen horses survived. But that was enough to get started. And over the next few years, they were joined by two more shipments. Those few dozen horses were leased to farmers and religious orders, helping to build the foundations of the nation that would one day become Canada.\nThe new arrivals included a mix of breeds, but only the strongest survived life on the Canadian frontier. And as they began to interbreed, they coalesced into a distinct new breed.\nThe Canadian Horse was born.\nIt was small, but strong and sturdy. Agile, with a graceful, arched neck and a high, broad head. Its coat was dark, with a waving mane and tail. They were said to be proud and courageous, exceptionally calm, with a brave heart. They were sure-footed, with a flashy trot, and good jumpers. They were versatile and easy to take care of. And maybe most important of all: they were fertile.\nTheir numbers quickly skyrocketed. By the end of the 1600s, there were more than seven hundred Canadian horses. A few decades later, when the Battle of the Plains of Abraham led to the British conquest of Quebec, there were fourteen thousand of them.\nThat number was still rising rapidly, but in the British conquest, the seeds of the breed\u2019s near destruction were sown.\nIt had already started. As they waged war on the French in Canada, the British turned on some of their own citizens. The Acadians were the descendants of French settlers who lived in the British colonies of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. In one of the most disturbing chapters of Canadian history, the British ordered them deported. The Great Expulsion lasted more than a decade as thousands of Acadians were driven from Canada. Property was seized, homes burned, families forced off their land and imprisoned or sent into exile. Their livestock was killed or seized, too \u2014 including their Canadian Horses.\nYou can still find some of the descendants of those confiscated Acadian horses today. A few were taken to a tiny strip of sand far off the south-east coast of Nova Scotia. Sable Island is now a national nature reserve, famous for the herd of wild horses that thunders across its beaches.\nAnd those weren\u2019t the only Canadian Horses to find themselves far from home. Now that France and Britain were no longer at war, the horses began to spread south as they were traded to the American colonies. There, they played an important role in the development of the United States. They pulled stagecoaches across the continent. Hauled freight. Even Benedict Arnold got into the business, heading up to Montreal in the winters, leading Canadian Horses back across the ice of Lake Champlain.\nWhen the War of 1812 broke out, Canadian Horses found themselves in the heat of battle \u2014 and it was far from the only time. During the American Civil War, as many as thirty thousand Canadian Horses were used by the Union Army as cavalry mounts and to pull artillery. As the historian Fran Lynghaug puts it, \u201cThe Canadian Horse played a major role in the history of that war; it has even been said that the North won simply on the fact that its soldiers had the better horse \u2014 the Canadian.\" But the breed paid a heavy toll for that contribution to the fight against slavery. Thousands upon thousands of Canadian Horses were killed.\nThe massacre helped to nearly wipe out the breed \u2014 as did its popularity for less dangerous work in the United States. So many of the horses had been exported out of Canada and mixed with other breeds \u2014 and so many lay dead on battlefields \u2014 that their numbers were suddenly plummeting. By the 1880s, the Canadian Horse was nearly extinct.\nThat\u2019s when the Canadian Horse Breeders Association was founded with a mission to save the breed. Quebec banned the export of Canadian Horses entirely. And soon, the federal government started an official breeding program. The Canadian Horse was saved. But barely. In 1970, there were only four hundred left \u2014 of a breed that once boasted more than 150,000.\nToday, the Canadian Horse is still listed as \u201cthreatened.\u201d And although it has officially been recognized as a national symbol of Canada, most Canadians don\u2019t know the story of the horse that helped build this nation. The Canadian Horse, as Lynghaug puts it, \u201cis a 340 year-old secret.\u201d They are a living, breathing connection to the history of our country \u2014 one very much worth saving.\nNewer PostThe Ghost of Christie Mansion \u2014 A Grisly Story of Cookies & Sex\nOlder PostHow a 300 Year-Old Church with Three Names Tells the Bloody History of Qu\u00e9bec",

        "title": "Brexit: What Result of UK Election Means for EU | Time",
        "raw_content": "The U.K. Election Result Spells Bad News for the E.U., and Brexit\nBy Charlotte McDonald-Gibson / Brussels\nEurophiles in Britain awoke Friday morning with a rare feeling of optimism, hopeful that the poor electoral result for Theresa May\u2019s Conservative Party and gains for Labour and the Liberal Democrats could mean a softer exit from the European Union, or even better, a reversal of Brexit.\nBut for officials at the E.U. headquarters in Brussels and European leaders, May\u2019s election flop complicates yet further an inevitable process which they simply want out the way.\nAlmost a year has passed since Britain voted to became the first country to leave the E.U. Although it was a decision which saddened many across European capitals, officials have accepted the results of the democratic vote. They have however watched events in Britain with increasing dismay.\nFirst came infighting among Conservatives about the kind of Brexit they wanted and unrealistic expectations about the deal they could get, then an election campaign in which May took personal aim at Brussels and accused the E.U. of meddling in the polls. Now her gamble has backfired, and she has lost her majority in Parliament.\n\u201cIt is to a certain extent a nightmare \u2013 the worst-case outcome,\u201d says Jan Techau, Director of the Richard C. Holbrooke Forum for the Study of Diplomacy and Governance. \u201cThis will create in one way or another a weak British counterpart in the negotiations and that is the nightmare. [European governments] want a counterpart that they can rely on and now they have the worst of all options. They don\u2019t have a government with a decisive majority \u2013 they have one with a weakened mandate and uncertainty about who is in charge.\u201d\nThe E.U.\u2019s treaties lay out a strict timetable for withdrawal. From the triggering of Article 50 \u2013 which May did on March 29, before she called the snap election \u2013 there is a two year period to negotiate terms of the exit. Issues such as the outstanding bill the U.K. must pay and how the deal with E.U. citizens in Britain and Britons in the E.U. must be resolved before talks begin on a new free trade deal.\nWhile May has rebuffed calls to resign and is confident of forming a governing partnership with Northern Ireland\u2019s DUP party, there is no clear idea yet of how the election result may have affected her negotiating position. Official talks with the E.U. are due to begin on June 19, but that timetable is looking increasingly unrealistic.\nFor Anthony Gardner, the former U.S. ambassador to the E.U. and now a visiting fellow at the Robert Schuman Centre of the European University Institute, the sheer difficulties a weakened new government will face could end in the hardest Brexit of all \u2013 the negotiating period ending with no agreement. That would mean Britain reverting to trade tariffs under WTO rules and many other economically-damaging measures such as disruptions to air traffic control and customs checks. \u201cIn a government that is so divided, are they going to be capable of really getting a policy, negotiating and really sticking to it?\u201d says Gardner.\nFor the optimists, an election result with greater representation in Parliament from left-wing Labour and the pro-E.U. Liberal Democrats means more voices challenging May\u2019s \u201chard Brexit\u201d vision, in which she wants to leave the single market. May has to get the Brexit deal through Parliament, and therefore could be inclined to go for a softer deal. But as Gardner warns, without getting the strong majority she wanted, May remains beholden to the Euroskeptics in her party.\n\u201cShe is still going to be faced with her pretty significant rump of Tories who are \u2018hard\u2019, and yet she is going to be leading a minority government that is divided, and I think the clock may just run out.,\u201d he says.\nOn Friday, officials in Brussels swiftly made clear that the clock is ticking, and that they are ready to go. While Britain has been in a state of Brexit chaos, the E.U. has been the picture of calm, appointing a chief negotiator and publishing detailed negotiating guidelines. \u201c\u2019As far as Commission is concerned we can open negotiations tomorrow at half past nine,\u201d quipped Jean-Claude Juncker, President of E.U. executive branch, the European Commission.\nA similar tone came from Donald Tusk, President of the European Council, which represents the 28 E.U. heads of government: \u201cWe don\u2019t know when Brexit talks start,\u201d he tweeted. \u201cWe know when they must end. Do your best to avoid a \u2018no deal\u2019 as result of \u2018no negotiations\u2019.\u201d\nFor those hoping that the election may spell an end to Brexit, that option is not really being considered in Brussels. The leader of the Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, made clear during the campaign that he would respect the referendum result, and E.U. leaders have always questioned his commitment to the European project.\n\u201cHis very half-hearted pro-European stance has never looked quite convincing to people here,\u201d says Techau, who is based in Berlin. \u201cMy feeling is that [the election result] is not going to derail Brexit \u2013 it is only going to make more of a mess of it.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Divorce More Likely When Wife Falls Ill\nIt turns out the newlywed\u2019s vow to stay together in sickness and in health doesn\u2019t always bear out.\nResearchers from the University of Michigan found that the risk for divorce is higher for older couples when the wife, not the husband, gets sick.\nSome numbers show the that 75% of couples dealing with chronic disease end in divorce. In the Michigan researchers\u2019 study, which is being presented at the Population Association of America\u2019s annual meeting, the researchers looked through 20 years of data on 2,717 married couples. At least one of the partners was over 50 at the start of the study. The researchers also looked for diseases like cancer, heart disease, lung disease and stroke, and how they impacted the marriages.\nIn all, 31% of the marriages ended in divorce. Men were more likely than women to get sick. Divorce was also more common when the wife got sick, and not the husband. And the study is not the first to find that divorce is more likely when the wife gets a serious illness. Talk about a double whammy of bad luck for women: first you\u2019re diagnosed with a chronic disease, and then you get divorced.\nThe reasons why are unclear, but the researchers have a couple theories. For one, it\u2019s possible that social expectations for caretaking make men feel less qualified for the job. Although the researchers did not track who asked for the divorce, they note that it\u2019s typically women who initiate, meaning that it\u2019s also possible that women don\u2019t feel like their husbands are giving them adequate support, and they decide they would prefer to rely on friends and family. \u201cIt\u2019s\u2026important to recognize that the impetus for divorce may be health-related and that sick ex-wives may need additional care and services to prevent worsening health and increased health expenditures,\u201d said study author Amelia Karraker in a statement.\nHaving couples\u2019 therapy as part of hospitals\u2019 oncology programs wouldn\u2019t be such a bad idea.",

        "raw_content": "Fine, Call It a Comeback\nEnjoying Four Welcome Returns\nMarch 8, 2016 Andre Salles\nIt\u2019s true what they say: you wait 20 years for a new Steve Taylor record and then two come along at once.\nTaylor is becoming the ultimate comeback kid. I\u2019ve loved his work since I was a teenager \u2013 his three early albums for the Christian market are more like smart bombs, blowing up the very idea of what can be done inside that box, and his incredible one-off band Chagall Guevara made one of the best and least appreciated albums of the \u201890s. After gifting us one last incendiary device with Squint in 1993, Taylor left music entirely to make movies and run a record label. (You may have heard of one of his signees: Sixpence None the Richer, whose big hit \u201cKiss Me\u201d Taylor produced.)\nAnd lo, there was much lamentation among his fans (myself included), much crying into the wilderness for Taylor\u2019s return. And just when it seemed all hope would run out, return he did \u2013 in 2014 he teamed up with three top-notch musicians to form Steve Taylor and the Perfect Foil, and with the help of Kickstarter, they made the fantastic, raucous, biting Goliath. This record, in all honesty, is tremendous, a rocket ride of riffage that found Taylor charging back to the front in top form.\nIf that had been it, I still would have been happy. But Taylor and the Foil had to go and team up with Daniel Smith (of Danielson fame) for 15 more minutes of crunchy, melodic goodness. The new EP is called Wow to the Deadness, and like Goliath, it was funded through an extremely successful Kickstarter. I supported it, of course, despite my reservations \u2013 I\u2019ve never liked Danielson, and Smith\u2019s yelping voice gives me hives. It took me a while to get used to that voice sitting alongside Taylor\u2019s rasp on Deadness, but if you can do that, this is a strong miniature whirlwind of a record, a quick blast that still manages to provide an amalgam of the Perfect Foil\u2019s power and Danielson\u2019s whimsy.\nWow to the Deadness was recorded in Chicago by Steve Albini, and if you recognize the name, you already know how this sounds \u2013 raw and tough. Jimmy Abegg\u2019s guitar playing has never felt this sloppy before. It splashes all over everything here, all but drowning out the subtleties in a song like \u201cWait Up Downstep.\u201d \u201cThe Dust Patrol\u201d is the perfect example of the two styles colliding in Albini\u2019s accelerator. It begins and ends as a propulsive punk song, but Smith sandwiches in an interlude straight out of the Danielson handbook, complete with flugelhorn. The song is two minutes long, even with all that, and it works surprisingly well.\n\u201cNonchalant\u201d is my favorite, which may be because it is the most obviously Steve Taylor song here, a mid-tempo, melodic delight. \u201cA Muse\u201d is the rougher cousin of Taylor\u2019s \u201cMoonshot,\u201d and it visits several interesting back alleys in 2:17. Albini draws volcanic vocal performances from Taylor, and the band sounds like they did when I saw them live \u2013 invigorated, powerful and loud. Even Smith\u2019s unchained howl can\u2019t ruin this completely for me, although I could have done without his grating contribution to \u201cDrats,\u201d the most Danielson song here.\nI\u2019m in this for Taylor and the Foil, and on that score, thankfully, Wow to the Deadness does not disappoint. What looked a year ago like a great capper to a legendary career now feels like an opening salvo, and I hope this means that Taylor is back for good. My world can always use more of what he\u2019s offering.\nIt\u2019s hard to say Anthrax was in need of a comeback, since they never really went away.\nBut I think people have forgotten what a top-notch metal band they are. They were one of the Big Four in the \u201880s, alongside Metallica, Megadeth and Slayer, and their run of albums from 1985 to 1990 (including the I\u2019m the Man EP) is one of the most solid in metal history. Yes, they\u2019ve stuck around, but the five albums they made with John Bush in the 1990s and 2000s failed to connect, partially because metal went out of style, but also because they weren\u2019t quite as heavy-hitting as Anthrax can be.\nBut reuniting with original singer Joey Belladonna has done this band a world of good. For All Kings is the second album with Belladonna back behind the mic, and it\u2019s a flat-out ballsy piece of work. Gone are the flirtations with acoustic folk and grunge that marked the John Bush years, and in their place are 11 slabs of furious awesome. The album opens with a brief fanfare, one that sounds a little out of place given what follows, but when the six-minute \u201cYou Gotta Believe\u201d kicks in, there\u2019s no doubt you are listening to a classic metal band at the height of its powers.\nThe thrashy vibe prevails over most of For All Kings, and even the somewhat slower ones (like the powerhouse \u201cMonster at the End\u201d) take energy from that vibe. \u201cBreathing Lightning\u201d is one of the few respites, starting slow but building into an epic anthem with a light, folky coda. But don\u2019t get comfortable \u2013 \u201cSuzerain\u201d and \u201cEvil Twin\u201d will bowl you over with double-time drums and thick guitars. Belladonna sounds fantastic here, proving he can carry a band this forceful even at 55. The eight-minute \u201cBlood Eagle Wings\u201d slows things down without losing an ounce of that force, and from there it\u2019s a race to the end, burning through killers like \u201cAll Of Them Thieves\u201d and what promises to be a new signature song for the band, \u201cThis Battle Chose Us.\u201d\nAnd just as they used to do in the \u201880s, they save the loudest and fastest song for last. \u201cZero Tolerance\u201d may seem on the surface like your typical hate-the-world stomper, but it\u2019s a feint \u2013 the verses are meant to contrast with the chorus, which hides a message that resonates these days: \u201cZero tolerance for extremism in the name of religion, zero tolerance for racial hate\u2026 and on the day you meet your god what will he say?\u201d It\u2019s a shock-and-awe capper to what is one of the most solid Anthrax albums ever, one that makes me feel like I\u2019m fourteen again, listening with headphones in my room and headbanging.\nIt\u2019s also another piece of what is shaping up to be a Big Four renaissance, with Slayer\u2019s Repentless and Megadeth\u2019s Dystopia. Now we just need Metallica to put out something respectable again and all will be well with the world.\nAnthrax may not have needed a comeback album too badly, but Ray Lamontagne sure did.\nI\u2019ve been a fan of Maine\u2019s own wonderful warbler since his first record in 2004. His voice is a stunning instrument, haunting and unforgettable, and over four swell efforts he married that voice to a lovely and spare style of folk and low-key rock. For 10 years, he hit whatever he swung at, from the gorgeous ambience of \u201cBe Here Now\u201d to the horn-driven wedding song that is \u201cYou Are the Best Thing.\u201d\nAnd while it would be an exaggeration to suggest that 2014\u2019s Supernova derailed his career, it certainly dampened my enthusiasm for it. Supernova was an attempt at mass appeal \u2013 Lamontagne enlisted Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys to produce, and they created a short record of short songs infused with blues and \u201860s psychedelia. It was, at best, underwhelming, and it never once played to Lamontagne\u2019s strengths. I like it more now than when I first heard it, but it still sounds more like Auerbach, like the producer decided more of what the record would be than the artist.\nWhich is why Ouroboros, Lamontagne\u2019s just-released sixth effort, is such a pleasant surprise. It should be another Supernova \u2013 he hired another famous singer from a blues-rock band (Jim James of My Morning Jacket) to produce this one, and he amped up the psych influences, leaving his past even further behind. But it\u2019s captivating, mesmerizing, convincing in a way that its predecessor wasn\u2019t. One reason for that is its structure \u2013 this is two side-long suites, Pink Floyd style, with segues and a sense of working for the whole. There aren\u2019t any radio singles in sight, and Lamontagne sounds committed to making something unlike anything he\u2019s done.\nMost importantly, Ouroboros (a symbol depicting a snake eating its own tail) brings back the atmosphere, an essential element of Lamontagne\u2019s work. Opener \u201cHomecoming\u201d is a cousin to \u201cBe Here Now,\u201d its pianos and acoustic guitars buoying a journey into space, led by Lamontagne\u2019s sweet, breathy voice. When the guitars kick in on \u201cHey No Pressure,\u201d it\u2019s jarring, especially since the tone is so thick and tactile \u2013 Lamontagne has never played with sounds like this before. \u201cHey No Pressure\u201d is exactly the kind of bluesy song Auerbach would have ruined, but here it sounds alive, spacey and sloppy and real.\nOuroboros was recorded in a mere 15 days, which gives it a more spontaneous feel, even when it gets enormous, as on \u201cThe Changing Man,\u201d which slides so beautifully into \u201cWhile It Still Beats\u201d that you won\u2019t even notice. The second side is even more connected and even more Floyd \u2013 the lilting \u201cIn My Own Way\u201d gives way to the Syd Barrett-like \u201cAnother Day,\u201d with \u201cA Murmuration of Starlings\u201d an instrumental bridge to delightful closer \u201cWouldn\u2019t It Make a Lovely Photograph.\u201d Lamontagne sounds in control of all of this, and excited to bring it to fruition. It\u2019s a marked difference from the static Supernova.\nOuroboros is vibrant, alive and awake, and even though it sounds nothing like anything he\u2019s done, it feels familiar. \u201cWhen I am with you, I am right where I belong,\u201d Lamontagne sings on that closing song, and I couldn\u2019t agree more. Welcome back, sir.\nThis is a column about comeback records, but one of these things is not like the others.\nThat thing is Nada Surf, a band that has been remarkably consistent for about 15 years, ever since leaving the notion of stardom behind and signing up with Barsuk Records. Despite a run of records since then that would be the envy of most power-pop bands, Nada Surf is still somehow living in the shadow of their one hit, the acerbic \u201cPopular,\u201d from two decades ago. In that sense, I guess, every album they make is a comeback album, because people are surprised at how good it is when they hear it.\nAt this point, though, they shouldn\u2019t be. Album eight, You Know Who You Are, is another gem, a brief yet impressive trip through ten jangly, swaying, upbeat guitar-pop songs played with no frills and no distractions. Former Guided by Voices guitarist Doug Gillard is now officially in the band, and he and frontman Matthew Caws gel perfectly, their twin tones dancing around each other. Everything is in service to the song, and these songs are as hummable and memorable as anything this band has done.\nOpener \u201cCold to See Clear\u201d is probably the best, or at least the most immediate \u2013 its chorus was stuck in my head the first time I heard it. But subsequent listens have revealed the beauty of less punchy songs like \u201cBelieve You\u2019re Mine\u201d and \u201cRushing.\u201d The latter is a particular delight, an acoustic strummer with glittering accents and a sweet chorus (\u201cYou come rushing at me, and I forget my worries\u2026\u201d). This album is relentlessly positive, in love with the world, and yet never corny or syrupy. Nada Surf music puts a big, un-ironic smile on my face every time.\nThe title track reminds me of the Replacements, with its rollicking electric guitar and shout-along chorus. \u201cGold Sounds\u201d feels like driving down a highway into the sunset, wind rushing by. And closer \u201cVictory\u2019s Yours\u201d is as triumphant as its title, Gillard\u2019s chiming guitars pushing it over the finish line. Like all Nada Surf albums, my main complaint with You Know Who You Are is that it\u2019s too short \u2013 I could use another ten songs as tight and infectious as these. But knowing Nada Surf, if I wait another couple years, I\u2019ll get them.\nNext week, Esperanza Spalding, who has just made my favorite record of 2016 so far.

        "raw_content": "Death, Death Cab and Rebirth\nOr, When 900 Columns You Reach, Look This Good You Will Not\nWe lost Aretha Franklin this week.\nI certainly hope you don\u2019t need me to tell you why this is important, why Franklin\u2019s departure leaves an unfillable hole in the world. She was perhaps the greatest singer who ever lived. At the very least, any conversation about the greatest singers who ever lived that does not mention Aretha Franklin is woefully incomplete. She was certainly one of the best gospel singers ever, and her move to soul and pop music in the 1960s and 1970s was impeccable. She was the first woman inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987, and deservedly so. There was never anyone like her, and there will never be anyone else like her.\nI\u2019m not going to be able to properly eulogize someone whose career spanned six decades and whose voice redefined much of what we know as popular music. Franklin was 76 years old when she died after a short illness, and was only four years removed from her last album, on which she sings songs made famous by female performers, and nails them. At 72. Aretha Franklin was the embodiment of legendary, just one of the finest singers this species has ever produced. Rest in peace, Aretha. Thank you doesn\u2019t even begin to cover it.\nA few weeks ago, I pulled out Death Cab for Cutie\u2019s 2005 album Plans, just to see if I still love it.\nShort answer: I do. Plans is my favorite Death Cab album, which I know is an unpopular opinion. But I think it\u2019s the one on which their yearning indie-rock sound transitioned most effectively into the more ambitious work we were all expecting from them on a major label. Plans is essentially a sonic novel about death and loss, a melancholy painting across a wide canvas, and I don\u2019t think Ben Gibbard has ever stepped up with a better set of lyrics.\nI\u2019ve been hard on the band\u2019s post-Plans work, and I don\u2019t know if all of my disappointment has been warranted. I can say nice things about most of the follow-ups. Narrow Stairs is a great collection of short stories, even if in retrospect it was the start of the spiral. Codes and Keys is an inconsistent jump into more of an electronic sound, but there are some gems. Only Kintsugi stands out to me as a waste, a trifle of a record that contains very little I have grown to care about. And as it was the last album with Chris Walla on guitars and behind the recording desk, I couldn\u2019t imagine that Death Cab would even continue, let alone make something worth listening to again.\nIt would be difficult for me to say that their ninth album, Thank You For Today, is the turnaround they needed. But it is certainly better than Kintsugi, and better than I expected by a long, long way. To be clear, this is the furthest Death Cab have sounded from their more rock-oriented origins, and the album is a slow burner, indebted more to the Cure than just about anyone else. But far from a last gasp, this feels like a right turn, the beginning of a new era. Unlike the protagonists of most of these songs, I\u2019m hopeful.\nIt does take a few listens to hear it that way, though. The first half of Thank You For Today is low-key and repetitive, and I can really hear the Cure in numbers like \u201cSummer Years,\u201d which spin a web of clean guitars over insistent drums. \u201cGold Rush\u201d is here, and it\u2019s grown on me, but it doesn\u2019t end up doing very much over its four minutes. I do like the sound \u2013 the slide guitars and thump-thump drum beat are new for Death Cab \u2013 but the song kind of jogs in place. The most immediate thing on the first half for me is \u201cYour Hurricane,\u201d a classic Gibbard tale of caring about someone too much. But even this sinks into the mood piece that is the first five songs, and if you don\u2019t see it as a mood piece from the start, you\u2019ll probably find it a little boring.\nThings pick up significantly with tracks six and seven, two of the most convincing Death Cab pop-rock songs in years. \u201cAutumn Love,\u201d all by itself, justifies this album\u2019s existence for me. The melody here is exactly the breath of fresh air I\u2019d been waiting for, exactly the shot in the arm the record needed at exactly this point. (There\u2019s no denying the value of a good \u201cwhoa-oh,\u201d too.) \u201cNorthern Lights\u201d is even better, folding a guest appearance by Lauren Mayberry of Chvrches into a deep, dark pop tune. I still think it all sounds like the Cure, but this one feels more like \u201cIn Between Days.\u201d It\u2019s my favorite Death Cab song for at least three albums.\nThese two songs give a purpose to the rest of the record \u2013 the first five tracks build up to \u201cAutumn Love,\u201d and the final three come down from that high. And oddly, they put you in the right frame of mind to shudder and sigh at the last act \u2013 it\u2019s all wistful and melancholy stuff. I\u2019m a big fan of \u201cNear/Far,\u201d with its pulsing acoustic guitars, and the finale, \u201c60 and Punk,\u201d isn\u2019t nearly as funny as its title. It\u2019s a piano-led lament about growing old and irrelevant. Gibbard gets a lot of emotion into the line \u201cthe band plays you off,\u201d and if this finally ends up being the last bow of Death Cab for Cutie, it will be a thematically resonant way to go out.\nBut I don\u2019t think it will be.Thank You for Today feels like hitting the refresh button. Not exactly like starting over, but like beginning a new chapter. It\u2019s a downbeat album, for sure, but somehow it breathes new life into a band I was ready to write off. Songs like \u201cYour Hurricane\u201d and \u201cNorthern Lights\u201d are all the evidence I need that my life would be poorer without Death Cab for Cutie in it, and I hope this is the start of a grand third act.\nThis is my 900th Tuesday Morning 3 A.M. column. I\u2019m in disbelief about that as well. In a few weeks I will finish up my 18th year writing this thing on a (mostly) weekly basis. I hope it is still enriching your life.\nI don\u2019t have anything special planned for the 900th. I think just putting out yet another music column, particulary one as average as this one, is a good enough statement of purpose. I\u2019m gonna keep plugging away at this, and I hope you all keep reading it. I can\u2019t thank you enough for continuing on this journey with me.\nNext week, no idea, honestly. Freedom!

        "raw_content": "A test case is used to examine whether the system displays the desired behaviour under specific circumstances. It must therefore contain all of the ingredients to cause that system behaviour and determine whether or not it is correct. A well-known way to describe system behaviour is \u2018Input \u2192 Processing \u2192 Output\u2019.\nAs explained in the book, a test case consists of a description of the starting point (also known as initial situation), the test action and the predicted result:\nStarting point (initial situation)\nThis covers everything that is needed to prepare the system for receiving the required input. This includes not only the data that are needed for the processing, but also the condition in which the system and its environment must be. For instance, one might think of setting a specific system date, or running specific week and month batches that bring the system to a specific status.\nThis means all of the activities that must be executed to activate the system to the processing. It might be a simple command (\u2018Run \u2026\u2019) or entering specific data on a screen. But it can also be a complex sequence of entering parameters, activating a specific function, manipulating other data, starting up another function, etc.\nThis covers all of the results that the tester must check to establish whether the system behaviour conforms to the expectations. Often, predicted result is incorrectly thought to be limited to the output that appears on screen or is stored in databases. But the system can also produce output that is transmitted to other systems or peripheral equipment. Furthermore, more than just output data may have to be checked to established that the system is working correctly. For instance: \u2018How quickly should the output appear?\u2019, \u2018What is the maximum allowed memory load and is it released afterwards?\u2019, or \u2018Should the system produce interim signals or messages, such as the hourglass or beeps?\u2019\nSee the figure below for the generic structure of a test case.\nIn other words, executing a test case roughly goes through the following steps: \u2018Prepare this \u2192 Do this \u2192 Check that.\u2019\nContrary to a test situation \u2013 which addresses an isolated aspect \u2013 a test case is a complete unit that can be executed as a separate test.\nWhen designing test cases, we first create logical test cases that are then worked out into physical test cases. Both terms are explained in further detail below.\nLogical test cases\nA logical test case describes, in logical terms, the circumstances in which the system behaviour is examined by indicating which test situations are covered by the test case.\nPhysical test cases\nA physical test case is the concrete elaboration of a logical test case, with choices having been made for the values of all required the input and settings of the environmental factors.\nThe physical test case describes in practical terms what has to be done. The 3 basic elements of a test case are recognisable: What needs to be prepared? (Initial situation) What does the tester have to do? (Action) What is the expected result? (Predicted result).\nThe step from logical to physical test case is more than just inserting concrete values. It is also a step from \u2018theoretical\u2019 to \u2018practical\u2019. In this step, the tester needs to look beyond the system specifications on which the logical test cases were based and ask himself: \u2018Do I now know everything I need to execute this test case in the Execution phase?\u2019\nPhysical test cases generally contain a specific description of:\nEverything that is needed to receive the in- and output of the system, such as:\nDatabase with the required data\n(Test) environmental parameters like the system date\nState of the system under test\nActions needed to activite the system behavior, like running a batch program or entering data in a GUI\nPrediction of the result\nDo we get the right message on the screen\nDo we receive the right data in the database.",

        "title": "Allocation of Bishops Unfair to Africa",
        "raw_content": "Allocation of Bishops Unfair to Africa\nTimes are changing quickly and global United Methodism needs to start reflecting those changes. Over the last twenty years, the number one shift within our denomination has been the steady decline of membership in the United States and the ever-increasing growth of membership on the continent of Africa. United Methodism is found in at least 16 African nations.\nConsider the fact that more United Methodists reside in the Democratic Republic of Congo (3 million) than in the combined North Central and Northeastern Jurisdictions in the United States (2.3 million).\nThe leadership of our denomination should reflect our current reality. That is why we need to reconfigure our outdated representation model to a more just and equitable configuration. And it needs to start at the Council of Bishops.\nCurrently, while the U.S. has 56 percent of the total number of church members, the U.S. has 70 percent of the number of bishops. This gives the U.S. bishops a dominant role on the Council of Bishops. The African central conferences have 43 percent of the church members, but only 20 percent of the bishops. This yields a dramatic underrepresentation of African perspectives on the Council of Bishops.\nWhen the Council acts, as it did recently in endorsing the One Church Plan, we need to see that action as primarily an American decision not reflective of the true makeup of our denomination\u2019s membership.\nHow we got where we are\nIn the U.S., the number of bishops allocated to each jurisdiction is based on a formula. The first 300,000 members yields five bishops for a jurisdiction. In fact, no matter how few members a jurisdiction has, anything less than 300,000 members still entitles a jurisdiction to five bishops. This part of the formula favors smaller jurisdictions, such as the Western Jurisdiction. For every 300,000 members over the original 300,000, an additional bishop is allocated. (This part of the formula is rounded up, so that 1.6 additional bishops equal 2.)\nThe result of this formula is that the larger the jurisdiction, the relatively fewer bishops it has. For example, the (smallest) Western Jurisdiction has roughly 61,000 members per bishop. By contrast, the (largest) Southeastern Jurisdiction has roughly 210,000 members per bishop. Part of the justification for this is the need to cover large geographic areas, particularly in the West. But it results in a fundamental unfairness.\nIn the central conferences outside the U.S., the number of bishops is determined by a number of factors: missional potential, number of local churches and clergy, geographic size of episcopal areas, number of annual conferences, and number of church members. There is no set formula.\nThis approach for the central conferences worked well when these areas were small mission areas still heavily dependent upon the mother church. As the mission field has matured and the churches outside the U.S. have become more self-governing, and particularly as the church in Africa has grown in numbers, the allocation of bishops has not kept up with the need.\nThe number of members per bishop vividly illustrates the discrepancy. In the U.S., the average number of members per bishop is 151,000. In Africa, the average number of members per bishop is 407,000. The most egregious underrepresentation is in the Congo, which has only four bishops for 3 million members. The number of members per bishop in the Congo is 750,000, five times the U.S. average! There is no way that a bishop can effectively supervise that many members.\nAnother way of viewing the unjust disparity in representation is to know that the Congo covers an area as large as the United States east of the Mississippi River. In the U.S., there are 29 bishops covering that amount of territory. In the Congo, there are four bishops covering the same amount of territory. And the last statistic I saw was that there are only 500 miles of paved roads in the Congo. (I believe this means intercity roads, excluding streets in a city.) So the ability to get around and travel to the churches is much more difficult in the Congo compared with the U.S.\nOne step forward would be to apply the same formula for allocating bishops in the central conferences as we use in the U.S. That would yield a much fairer distribution of bishops. It would not reduce the number of bishops in the U.S. beyond what the formula already calls for. But it would increase the number of bishops where they are desperately needed.\nApplying the formula to the central conferences would add one bishop for the southern and eastern Africa area, which already has five bishops (Kenya, Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Angola, and South Africa). It would add six bishops to the West Africa Central Conference (Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Cote d\u2019Ivoire), bringing their total to ten. And it would add ten bishops for the Congo, bringing their total to 14.\nThis approach would yield a much fairer distribution of bishops. The U.S. would have 54 percent of the bishops and 56 percent of the members. Africa would have 38 percent of the bishops and 43 percent of the members. Europe and the Philippines are overrepresented in the Council of Bishops (5 percent and 4 percent respectively) due to language, cultural, and geographic needs of the different areas. Their allocation of bishops would not change under the formula.\nThe 2016 General Conference voted to add five bishops for Africa in 2020. Where they will be assigned is still being determined by the Standing Committee on Central Conference Matters. This is a start, but it does not come close to adding the seventeen bishops that are needed to bring equity. Perhaps we could add five more in 2024 and five more in 2028.\nGenerally speaking, the cost of a bishop in the central conferences (particularly Africa and the Philippines) is about half the cost of a U.S. bishop. Both the North Central and Northeastern Jurisdictions stand to lose a bishop in 2020 under the formula. That would pay for four African bishops right there. And the South Central Jurisdiction also stands to lose a bishop, if not in 2020, then in 2024. That would pay for two more in Africa.\nOf course, all of this will need to be reconsidered in light of the actions of the 2019 General Conference, which may result in a loss of members (and maybe even annual conferences) in the U.S. Under any of the three plans, there will need to be a reconfiguration of annual conference boundaries and perhaps jurisdictional boundaries, as well.\nIn the meantime, it would be well to consider that the actions of the Council of Bishops are primarily a reflection of the U.S. bishops, not a globally representative body. And as we configure the United Methodist Church of the future, we should give attention to treating the central conferences more fairly as equal partners in a global church, rather than as \u201cjunior\u201d partners or mission stepchildren.",

It increased the number of teams to 48 and divided them into 6 geographical \"regions\" (new teams underlined):\n* Europe A: Italy, England, Spain, Holland, Switzerland, Norway, Turkey, Ireland\n* Europe B: Germany, France, Bulgaria, Sweden, Russia, Greece, Belgium, Romania\n* Americas/Oceania: United States, Mexico, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Guatemala, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Honduras\n* Asia: South Korea, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan (as Republic of China), China, Iran, Hong Kong, United Arab Emirates\n* South America: Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, Colombia, Bolivia, Uruguay, Peru, Ecuador\n* Africa: Cameroon, Morocco, Nigeria, Egypt, South Africa, C\u00f4te d'Ivoire, Guinea, Zambia\nWhen you start the game, you go into a \"Regional Qualifying Round Final\" against another team from your region. After beating it, your team goes into the World (Cup) Tournament, in which you are grouped with 4 other countries in a round-robin. After winning against all of them, you go into an elimination tournament: the quarterfinals, semifinals, and the final for the World Cup. This type of tournament thus is more reminiscent of the real-life World Cup. If a match ends in a draw, you also have the option of replaying a full game, go to the penalty kick tiebreaker, or play a sudden death (golden goal) game (the golden goal feature was not present in the original Super Sidekicks).\nAll subsequent Super Sidekicks games followed the same design and gameplay as Super Sidekicks 2.\nDownload Super Sidekicks 2 for Neo Geo Now\nBookmark Super Sidekicks 2 for Neo Geo",

        "title": "Condolence Motion \u2013 The Hon. Sir John Leslie Carrick AC KCMG \u2013 Trent Zimmerman \u2013 Federal Member for North Sydney",
        "raw_content": "I rise to support the condolence motion that was moved in the chamber by the Prime Minister and that has been so eloquently supported by the Leader of the Opposition and those that have spoken since. I do so to honour a remarkable Australian and one of the finest servants of the Liberal Party and our ideals, Sir John Carrick. I want to start by thanking the Prime Minister for what I thought was an incredible speech that he gave in the House of Representatives in honour of Sir John\u2019s life. I suspect in part that reflects the fact that the Prime Minister\u2019s own father-in-law, Tom Hughes, was one of the beneficiaries of Sir John\u2019s support and patronage in his own political career.\nIt\u2019s fair to say and reflect on the fact\u2014and no hyperbole\u2014that Sir John is without peer in terms of shaping the success of the Liberal Party in New South Wales and also, I\u2019d argue, nationally. He was our general secretary from 1948 until 1971. He actually began his career with the Liberal Party two years earlier, in 1946, when he accepted what was a temporary job following his return from the horrors of World War II. It was, however, to become a lifetime career, both as a member of the staff of our secretariat and then as a senator in the other place. It was a role that he took, as I mentioned, not long after he\u2019d come back from South-East Asia, where he had served Australia in Sparrow Force but was subsequently to become a prisoner of war in some of those horrific circumstances that have been so well documented. Many Australians reacted differently to that experience, but Sir John was, like many of his peers, one who came back to Australia with an absolute determination to create a more peaceful and more successful world, a world in which the horrors that he had experienced himself would not be ones that future generations would have to endure.\nMany of those returned servicemen like himself were to go on to serve in state and federal politics. It\u2019s fair to say that the ranks of the Liberal Party in parliament at the time bore many of those returned servicemen, as did of course the Labor Party as well\u2014Tom Uren typifies the service of many returned servicemen to that side of politics. I think it\u2019s in fact a fair observation to say that the early Liberal Party of Menzies was founded on the influence of two groups: firstly, those many returned servicemen who were determined to commit their lives to public service and also those women\u2019s organisations that Menzies recruited so successfully to join the new party, and which really became its backbone.\nSir John was a formidable general secretary of the Liberal Party in New South Wales. He served in that role for some incredible 23 years. In fact, it was often joked\u2014I have no idea whether it was true\u2014when he was encouraged to move to the Senate it was because the Liberal Party couldn\u2019t afford the superannuation he\u2019d racked up at that time. I joined the Liberal Party at the time that Sir John was finishing his public career in the Senate, in the late 1980s, but even as a teenage Young Liberal, the legacy of Sir John Carrick was recognised and lauded across the party. My own understanding of Sir John Carrick\u2019s role was aided by the fact that one of my first jobs was working for the late John Booth, the then state member for Wakehurst. John, alongside people like Terry Metherell, had been a member of Sir John Carrick\u2019s staff while he was a senator for New South Wales.\nSir John had, at that time and throughout his career, a reputation as one of the Liberal Party\u2019s greatest political operators. He was courtly, but he was also tough, and I want to note that The Bulletin described him as \u2018the grey eminence of Ash Street\u2019, Ash street being our then headquarters, but also as the \u2018smiler with a knife\u2019. Like no other estate director, as we now call it, he shaped the affairs of the division, and his hand was in many pre-selections. In fact, there was a term used to describe his time as general secretary, and that was head office factionalism. He had little truck for the emergence of other factions in the Liberal Party. In fact, most notably, in the late 19060s he put an end to the ambitions of the now notorious Lyenko Urbanchich in Warringah because he was determined to make sure that if there were to be a faction it would be one controlled by head office and one that squarely served the interests of the party.\nIt\u2019s fair to say that, during those years he was general secretary, whilst we had a very competitive preselection system there was very rarely a candidate who won a preselection who wasn\u2019t the candidate preferred or endorsed by Sir John Carrick. That, in part, reflects the fact that Sir John saw himself in the role of general secretary as responsible for the recruitment of candidates. He traversed the state of New South Wales, making sure that the party had the capacity to put forward to parliament candidates of the highest calibre. Many of them were to be fellow returned servicemen, and some of the greats of the Liberal Party in both state and federal politics at the time were people that he recruited from those ranks. He was determined and believed passionately that the success of the Liberal Party depended on the quality of the candidates he put forward. As general secretary, he regarded that as one of the primary obligations he had.\nIt\u2019s hard to fathom the challenge he faced when he first joined the party in the late 1940s. He was there in its infancy. His first role was within months of Menzies founding the party. As general secretary, two years later, at the age of just 30, he had the responsibility of building an entire party organisation effectively from scratch and finding candidates to run immediately for federal and state office. In part, his strength as a general secretary and the influence and success he had was because of the network of field officers he created across the party. Those field officers became his agents, both in electoral politics but also, it\u2019s fair to say, in the internal politics of the Liberal Party. When I joined the party, sadly those field officers were in decline, and whilst there were a handful back then, they weren\u2019t to last for much longer.\nIt\u2019s also fair to say his time in the Liberal Party was highly personally rewarding. The great love of his life, Lady Angela, was a person he met at those Ash Street headquarters in his early years at the party. She was the party librarian and equally committed to the cause. I\u2019m not sure that that type of relationship would be one that would be permitted today, but it was certainly a very fruitful one for Sir John.\nSir John was far more than simply a machine man for the party. His parliamentary career which followed his retirement as general secretary in the early 1970s is testament to that fact. Throughout both his career in the party organisation and in the Senate, he demonstrated such a deep commitment to the values of our party. My predecessor, Joe Hockey, quoted Sir John in his own maiden speech, and I want to repeat that quote. Joe said:\nA true Liberal was described by Sir John Carrick in 1967 as someone who was always concerned about the welfare of the individual, for the creation of opportunities, for the preservation of human dignity and the development of human personality.\nIt was those values that guided his parliamentary career and perhaps shaped his great passion in public life, which of course was for improving education in Australia. Sir John described the role of education in these terms: \u2018the real role of education is to stimulate people in mind and spirit for what is a limitless adventure\u2019. That passion for education is reflected in his committee service in the Senate and in his role as the federal education minister during the Fraser government. Importantly, it was a passion that he carried beyond his retirement from the Senate. Most notably, when the Greiner government was elected in 1988, the then education minister, Terry Metherell, and Premier Greiner commissioned Sir John to chair a committee which bore his name, in the form of the Carrick report, which reinvented and reshaped school education in New South Wales. It\u2019s a legacy that prevails today.\nI also wanted to mention, because it\u2019s a passion close to my own heart, the fact that, when was unfashionable to do so, Sir John was one of the earliest advocates to end the death penalty in Australia.\nIn fact, the second speech he gave in the Senate, the very day after he had given his maiden speech, was to support a private members bill introduced by Lionel Murphy to abolish the death penalty in federal jurisdictions. He at the time was just one of three Liberal senators who exercised a conscience vote to support that bill, which passed the Senate at the time but failed in the House of Representatives; however, it was importantly enacted just a couple of years later.\nI only had the privilege of meeting Sir John on a couple of occasions during my own involvement in the Liberal Party. I want to reflect on one of those occasions which, I think, typifies the type of person that Sir John was. In 2005, I had the great pleasure of assisting Joe Hockey in organising North Sydney commemorations for the anniversary of Victory in the Pacific Day, what we originally called Victory over Japan. It was a significant commemoration for our veterans. Joe invited Sir John to be the keynote speaker. I vividly remember two things: firstly, his remarks about the values that have been spoken about by other speakers\u2014his commitment to reconciliation, the deep faith he had in human nature, which led him to spend much of his adult life post the Second World War trying to ensure that the horrors of that war did not affect our relationship, not only as individuals but as a nation, with the Japanese people.\nSecondly, the thing that struck me about his contribution that day was his extraordinary humility that was reflected in all that he said. It was also reflected in the way he happily spent an hour after the service mingling with schoolchildren who didn\u2019t know who Sir John Carrick was. It was the first time in their lives they had met a knight and they were intrigued by that fact and by the impressive medallion he wore as a knight. He happily talked to them and shared his own experiences with those school students for a very long time. It\u2019s that humility that we\u2019ll most remember Sir John for and it was reflected in his decision to make sure that this family turned down a state funeral\u2014as the Prime Minister pointed out in his speech\u2014because he believed that his life was no more worthy than any of the other veterans who he had served alongside. His humility was reflected when the Liberal Party, over the years, on many occasions discussed whether our own head office should be named in his honour. It was a request or a suggestion that he always turned down because he considered himself a servant of the Liberal Party and no better than any other person who served in that role.\nI speak today to honour someone who was a child of the Depression, a soldier for Australia, a survivor of those awful prisoner of war camps that he experienced in South-East Asia, a warrior for the Liberal Party and its values, but, most importantly, someone who was committed to further generations, be they the generations to follow him and his own family, or more broadly across Australia, as his commitment to education was so effectively to demonstrate. We have lost a great Australian, and I extend my sincerest condolences to his family.",

        "raw_content": "While hearing tests are regularly given to newborns and throughout childhood, once people reach adulthood, a hearing test is not usually part of an annual physical or check-up. It is a good idea for all adults to have their hearing tested regularly, however, as early diagnosis of hearing loss can lead to more effective treatments.\nWhen to Have Your Hearing Tested\nAs with any health issue, there is no one-size-fits-all model for hearing testing. You should discuss concerns about your hearing with your doctor and decide on a lifetime plan for hearing screenings and care. In general, healthy adults aged 18 to 40 who do not notice any hearing loss should have their hearing tested by a professional every three to five years. Those who should have their hearing tested more often include the following:\nPeople who are exposed to loud noises. Noise-induced hearing loss affects people of all ages. Loud concerts, gunfire and explosions in combat, noisy work environments, and yard-work tools can all damage hearing suddenly or over time. If you are exposed to loud noises regularly\u2014no matter what your age\u2014you should have your hearing tested at least once a year and should discuss custom-made ear protection with your hearing specialist.\nPeople with hearing loss. If you suspect you have lost some hearing ability\u2014especially if it is a sudden loss\u2014you should have your hearing tested as soon as possible. Once you have been diagnosed with a hearing loss, you should be tested every year.\nPeople over the age of 60. Because age-related hearing loss is so common, once you reach the age of 60, you should have a hearing screening on an annual basis. Of adults age 65 to 74, 25 percent have a disabling hearing loss and 50 percent of people 75 and older suffer from a disabling hearing loss. Early screenings and diagnoses result in much better outcomes for older people.\nPeople with hearing aids. Being fitted with hearing aids is not the end of the hearing care process. Your hearing can change and continue to deteriorate and should be checked every year so that your hearing aids can be adjusted or upgraded as necessary.\nNo matter what your age or hearing ability, it\u2019s always a good time to get a hearing screening. At True Sound Hearing Aid Center, we will give you a free, comprehensive hearing evaluation and recommend the next steps you should take. Don\u2019t put it off any longer!

        "raw_content": "Bristol Turtlechick / February 5, 2019 /\nFacebook Has Shut Down This Group Of Law Enforcement Angels With No Warning Or Explanation. Please Don\u2019t Let Their Message Fade Away.\nIt appears Facebook has drawn a line in the sand, and decided to stand on the wrong side of it.\nWe already knew it is perfectly acceptable for \u201ccivil rights\u201d groups (read: Social Justice Terrorists) like ANTIFA and BLM to promote content encouraging a war on police\u2026 but if you promote content that highlights the positive stories of police officers, or offers support to these heroes on the front line, your account will be shut down. Even if it\u2019s a closed group, and now, even if you painstakingly do everything you can to self regulate your group to follow each and every one of Facebook\u2019s community standards. Sergeant Craig Polen recently learned this when he discovered his closed Facebook group of verified police officers, LEO Only, had been suspended for allegedly violating the site\u2019s community standards. Which standards?\nSgt. Polen hasn\u2019t been running a controversial group. It doesn\u2019t so much as flirt with the lines of polite conversation, and takes great care in staying out of politics and focused on their core mission \u2013 offering peer to peer support for law enforcement officers who, all too often, struggle to find a welcoming and appropriate place to share their experiences, struggles, strength and hope on the job, day in and day out. \u201cI have five moderators,\u201d he told me during a phone conversation, \u201cblack, white, female\u2026so that where I may not be able to recognize comments and content that may be racist, sexist or otherwise objectionable, they can.\u201d In their own words:\n\u201cLEO Only was established in 2013 by Craig Polen, with the intention of giving fellow officers a place where they would feel comfortable talking and expressing their feelings concerning their experiences, good and bad, as law enforcement officers. Sometimes, talking about your day at work with non LEOs is not only uncomfortable, but perhaps not appropriate. On this site communication is encouraged and there are thousands of other officers who are willing and eager to listen and perhaps even give advice should it be asked for, twenty four hours of every day.\u201d\nThis is a closed group, screened carefully to ensure that only verified law enforcement are members. Their main mission is to offer support and prevent officer suicide. The message is so powerful, so meaningful, and so needed. These are the men and women who put their own lives on the line to support and protect our communities, sometimes paying the ultimate price. They are increasingly the subject of egregious contempt, disdain, hate and threats, yet are the first people we call when its our own well being is at stake. And Sgt. Polen\u2019s message is so sincere, so heartfelt and so compelling. It is beyond egregious for it to be simply wiped out at the whim of Facebook\u2019s AI algorithms.\nAnd what\u2019s more, is that from this group, another even more meaningful purpose was born:\n\u201cSgt Polen also had a vision of seeing that young children of brothers and sisters who had fallen victim to the ravages of the job and perhaps been injured or made the ultimate sacrifice for their fellow man, would never have to awaken on a Christmas morning without the joy of a visit from Santa because it wasn\u2019t affordable to their remaining family. So with this thought in mind he put forth the idea to all of the members of LEO Only that we endeavor to provide Christmas shopping sprees to these kids. This was a large undertaking, but the LEO Only members embraced the idea wholeheartedly and soon ideas were pouring in from all corners on how to raise funds for this cause. Many things were tried. Some worked amazingly well while others were mediocre at best. But in the end enough money was raised to provide Christmas for 23 children in our first year of operation. As our numbers have rapidly grown and more and more members embrace this cause, the level of participation has also grown greatly and even more ideas have emerged and more money has been raised. We reached the point where we felt that we needed to establish ourselves as a non-profit organization with all of the perks and the problems that come with that status. We are now at the point where we are planning to do at least 50 shopping sprees this calendar year and we have begun the discussions toward establishing college scholarships for some children that need that type of help.\u201d\nLEO Only is a LEO Only is a 501(c)(3) Charitable Organization. This a legitimate, by-the-books organization doing God\u2019s work for our law enforcement and children, for fuck\u2019s sake. And they were taken down, for no reason at all. No explanation given. With an ongoing fundraising running to give Christmas to the families of fallen officers, and a ticketed event right around the corner, an abrupt Facebook shutdown could spell catastrophe. If social media was designed to connect us, why is LEO Only currently suspended?\n\u201cI just want to know what standard we broke,\u201d Polen lamented, \u201cSo we can fix it.\u201d\nIt isn\u2019t up to these men and women to fix this \u2013 they did nothing wrong. It\u2019s up to Facebook to fix, and it\u2019s now up to us to keep their message going by sharing, donating and showing them without a doubt \u2013 we love and support our Police Officers and their families. We are grateful for every sacrifice, great and small, that they make in service to our communities.\nWith everything they\u2019re doing, for us and each other, it\u2019s the least we can do in return.\nIf you\u2019d like to support Police Officers everywhere and the families of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice, as well as countless other public outreach fundraisers currently running, you can visit the LEO Only website to donate to their cause here.\nTags blue lives matter facebook censorship LEO Only Support Police\n\u201cAngels\u201d. LOLz.\n\u201cDoing God\u2019s work.\u201d\nRandall, usually I enjoy your fun inane prattle. It amuses me, and you aren\u2019t wrong 100% of the time. But unless you\u2019re raising money for children\u2019s Christmases and preventing LEO suicide, shut the fuck up and crawl back in your hole. You just increased the 90% you\u2019re wrong to 95%, sit the fuck down while you\u2019re ahead. Thanks. Smooches!\nRandall guy\u2019s alter ego.\nRandalls mom smells like rotten fish and her gash-trap looks like a bulldog eating mayo.\nAlso, I have it on good authority that Randall is a dainty little queef smelling fecalphiliac.\nWhy take Xmas from children?\nIf they were kicking turtle heads off, or putting babies in the fridge or sending dick pics to every girl who has a Facebook account than they wouldn\u2019t be deleted. But because they are doing something good and kind to people who need it, they get shut down. Facebook is a big problem and has been. And it\u2019s not gonna get better anytime soon!\nZuck you, Mark F*ckerburg. He needs to get his ass hauled back in front of Congress to explain this shit. Better start with the Senate. Although, it\u2019s as full of sheeple as the House is full of SJW prog-frogs. Go right to the top. And don\u2019t let him leave until he GUARANTEES that this Mickey Mouse \u201cAI algorithm\u201d is modified, destroyed, or otherwise made First Amendment compliant.\nI ain\u2019t holdin\u2019 my breath.\nHey Bristol barstool sports made Breibart.\nI will be sure to have Mark Zuckerturd on my show and ask him about this but in the end I will not push him to hard because I enjoy sucking his and Dorsey cocks and in exchange they keep me on their platforms. I will then issue the usual clap trap apology and the sheep will lap it up.\nI have a rather simple explanation for this.\nFacebook are cunts.\nThank you for doing this for LEO ONLY\nSuckened\nThe war on police came into play more than ever under Obama. Massachusetts is right in line with California and Washington with its liberal agendas. The so called reduction in crime isn\u2019t true. It\u2019s numbers being manipulated and not enough cops on the street to be proactive. Look in our state\u2019s criminal justice reform and see what these liberals are pulling on those who do the right things in life.\nSergeant, not Sargent, Mr.Turtle. And it\u2019s yeah, not yea. Come on man, if you\u2019re going to be a journalist at least try some basic English. Your content is great, you just need to proofread your work.\nWhat the fuck are you talking about Mr. comma splice.\nGrow up teach\nNobody needs you to give them a spelling lesson. Yes spelling errors upset people at times. It\u2019s not the end of the world. And as long as what was wrote can be read, who fkn cares if they didn\u2019t punctuate correctly or spell perfect. It\u2019s not the SAT. Always gotta be one of you dicks!!\nHey idiot, this story was written by a woman. So it would be Ms. Turtle. Stupid ass. But keep correcting others.. hahaha",

        "raw_content": "JED PERL ON ART\nPeep Shows for Poets\nWhile technophiles are often far too quick to assume that heightened access equals heightened understanding, access is surely one of the conditions for understanding. Unseen Cinema: Early American Avant-Garde Film 1894-1941, a magnificent set of seven DVDs recently issued by Anthology Film Archives, the temple of avant-garde cinema in New York's East Village, will provide the raw materials for many a do-it-yourself revaluation of the history of experimentation in the movies. Some hand-colored footage of a \"Butterfly Dance\" performed by Annabelle Moore, whose billowing costume is maneuvered to create delicious Art Nouveau patterns, suggests a startling prefiguring of the blots and blurs of color in Blake's film, although I have no reason to believe that Blake was thinking of this footage--or of the more famous films of Loie Fuller performing similar dances in fin-de-si\u00e8cle Paris.\nUnseen Cinema, which was organized by Bruce Posner and runs to some nineteen hours, is an astonishing achievement. The DVDs are presented thematically, although some of the themes are so capacious as to confound their own titles. The most sharply focused, Picturing a Metropolis: New York City Unveiled, moves from early footage of the city, including the Edison Company's heart-stoppingly poetic Coney Island at Night to Charles Sheeler and Paul Strand's well-known Manhatta, to some work by Rudy Burckhardt, the film-maker, photographer, and painter who was also one of de Kooning's earliest friends in New York. Viva La Dance: The Beginnings of Cin\u00e9-Dance is more variegated but still clearly delimited, opening with Annabelle Moore's \"Butterfly Dance\" and bringing, near its end, David Bradley's Peer Gynt of 1941, starring a teenage Charlton Heston.\nWhat is evident in these selections--and only becomes clearer in the omnium-gatherum DVDs devoted to \"new directions in storytelling,\" \"music and abstraction,\" and \"experiments in technique and form\"--is how fluid the definition of avant-garde film turns out to be, at least according to the curators at Anthology Film Archives. Suspense--a 1913 melodrama in which a housewife and her baby are nearly attacked by a knife-wielding drifter--is included because of its split-screen techniques, but if this silent prefigures a certain kind of art film, it is also a potboiler with a place in the prehistory of the psycho-thrillers we all see at the multiplex. Unseen Cinema is a gloriously messy affair, in which Busby Berkeley, everybody's hero of Hollywood high camp, can rub shoulders with an abstract movie by the utterly highbrow geometric painter and Partisan Review editor George L. K. Morris.\nThe inclusion in Unseen Cinema of work by the Edison Company and D.W. Griffith and a host of other people who have secure places in the standard histories of Hollywood suggests that film, a radically new medium around 1900, was once inherently avant-garde. And there is an even larger conclusion that some may want to draw from this anthology, which is that those who explore the possibilities of the moving image are by the very nature of their work members of a permanent avant-garde. Certainly the old idea that avant-gardism is essentially anti-commercial does not make much sense in this context. And if the early Edison films of Coney Island are indeed avant-garde, it is an avant-gardism that depends not on a revaluation of tradition (which most commentators would say is the essence of the thing) but simply on the fundamentalism of the visual impressions, the almost unconscious freshness of the imagery.\nCopyright 2006, The New Republic",

        "title": "Breaking the Gamblers Fallacy Myth by Veritamag.com",
        "raw_content": "Within the gambling world there remains a myth, known as the \u2018Gamblers Fallacy\u2019, which implies that previous results in a game can influence the outcome of games to come. Especially when in games of chance, such as roulette, many believe that if something has occurred several times in a row, the upcoming result is almost guaranteed. However, this is far from true and should be discounted from any wager decisions that you make, as believing this fallacy could see you falling into some costly traps.\nProbability Explained\nThough the Gamblers Fallacy may be widely believed it goes against all the laws of probability which state that anything can occur at any time. Whilst some results or sequences are more likely to occur than others there is no set rule. For example, the probability of flipping a coin to heads four times in a row is just 6.25%, compared to a 93.75% of it not occurring. It can still happen however unlikely it may be, and you should never let your belief that it couldn\u2019t possibly occur to sway your wagers.\nThe Fallacy\u2019s Faulty Thinking\nBefore a coin is ever thrown the odds of throwing four heads in a row is 1/16, leading many people to believe that if three heads are thrown the odds of throwing a tail on the fourth toss is 15/16. However, the probability of a fourth head being thrown remains at 50/50, with previous tosses having absolutely no relevance or weight on the upcoming result.\nAvoiding the Gamblers Fallacy Trap\nIt is vital if you\u2019re indulging in online casino games, especially ones of chance, that you avoid falling into to the trap of believing something will happen given on previous outcomes. Just because three spins of the roulette wheel have landed on red does not mean that the next spin will land on black. This thinking can be very dangerous to your strategy, making you take unfounded risks in your game. But by remaining calm and remembering that the Gamblers Fallacy is nothing but a myth, you can ensure that your wagers are based on fact and not fiction.",

        "raw_content": "Home > Vet Student Experience > 2nd year > A Very Veterinary Summer\nA Very Veterinary Summer\nJuly 12, 2016 By Clara\nHello Merck Veterinary Manual World! I\u2019m excited to have joined the Vet Student Stories Blog as a contributor this summer! Hopefully, you\u2019ll see my posts around a bit this year, starting with, you guessed it, numero uno, right here!\nYou might wonder what exactly vet students do with their precious time off during summer break (if they are lucky enough\u2014read between their 1st and 2nd or 2nd and 3rd year of school). As you might imagine, it involves sleep, and more sleep, and even more sleep. Lots of catching up on sleep. That is, until we realize just exactly what we have in front of us\u2014almost three months of unlimited opportunity! Summer is the time to find what you love about veterinary medicine and go after it full force, hands-on, and in the thick of it. During the year, we don\u2019t get much in the way of extracurriculars, at least that relate to what we envision ourselves doing for a career. Sure, there are plenty of clubs and wet labs and student organizations, but, honestly, though we may be leaders and members and participants, our whole heart is not always there during the semester. Sometimes it\u2019s because we have a test the Monday after a weekend wet lab, sometimes we feel so overwhelmed during the week that we just want to go home and binge watch something that doesn\u2019t take our entire mental focus for a while, and sometimes, well, sometimes we are just dog tired, unmotivated, and not feeling very veterinary at all. Fear not, though, there are constant reminders of how amazing veterinary medicine can be even in the toughest of times, and especially during the summer.\nThis summer, I was lucky enough to be able to work as a student researcher in a veterinary pathology lab. Which means, among other things, I spent most days staring at slides on a microscope and coming home cross-eyed. But, for me, this opened yet another possible door in the ever-evolving field of veterinary medicine: pathology. Oh, pathology! Gross lesions (in more ways than one), miniscule findings (that make you jump for joy), beautiful stains and fluorescent colors\u2026The great equalizer, pathology, the field in which you can examine any species or organ system. Have you figured me out yet? I think pathology is really cool. It also makes me appreciate the world of veterinary diagnostics and just how very much we know as veterinarians. When my lab mentor for the summer, a veterinary pathologist, and one of our second-year pathology professors race through slides pointing out the tiny things I have to look for twice (probably more like twenty times), I see a world of possibilities in this one discipline: parasites, bacterial diseases, viruses, protozoa, and the list goes on! But of course, as research all too often goes, this summer we saw almost everything BUT our target bacteria. The upside is that pathology is a discipline of short-term wins (cool lesions and microscopic techniques) that lead to long-term and incredibly important advances in the understanding of disease and baselines for the study of the mighty microbiome. There is almost never a down point, unless, that is, you see nothing at all. As my research experience comes to an end, I can move into the fall semester with a brand new appreciation for the work veterinarians are doing every day to improve our knowledge of animals, diseases, and how all these things relate to us and our world.\nThe Little Yellow Book\nVet School Budget-Balancing\nFiled Under: 2nd year, 3rd year, Maintaining Balance Tagged With: 2nd year, 3rd year, balance, beginnings, career, DVM, excitement, Inspirational quotes, jobs, life, summer, vet student, veterinary, Veterinary Experience, veterinary medicine, veterinary school, veterinary student, work life balance\nIt\u2019s Not All About Medical Knowledge\u2026",

        "title": "How to Start a Small Construction Business, Read to Learn More",
        "raw_content": "Getting into the construction business and actually gaining a foothold is a daunting task. The sector is experiencing steady growth again, but there are a multitude of moving parts to grasp, from obtaining licenses and permits to purchasing major equipment and leasing office space.\nYou should fear not, though. Others have already been there and done that. Thanks to them, we have a roadmap and surefire steps that bring you closer to success. So, here is how to build a soaring business from the ground up.\nA construction company business plan is the cornerstone of your endeavor. To flash it out, you need to conduct thorough research and obtain market facts and figures. One of the most crucial tasks in this stage is related to identifying your target market.\nIn the light of your findings, figure out what type of company makes the most sense: a general contractor, highly specialized business, or something in between. The three main sectors are buildings, infrastructure and industrial.\nConsider doing a SWOT analysis. Assess your skills and experience and select the field you feel confident going into. Once you pick your niche, take the big picture into account.\nIf you are planning to operate in the burgeoning and busy economy, such as one of Australian major cities, you need to carefully scope out the competition. As a small business, you do not want to be up against a bunch of direct competitors in the form of established corporations and startups.\nNext, determine how you are going to finance the company. As you probably know, capital demands in the construction industry are pretty intense. Therefore, it is a good idea to calculate the total costs of launching and running a business.\nTake your time to see how much space you really need for personnel, equipment and meetings. See if it is better to rent or buy mainstays of operations like heavy equipment, materials, tools and vehicles.\nTo keep spending in check, shop around wisely and buy materials in bulk. Moreover, your business plan should make a strong case for your business to get funding.\nIn other words, it needs to outline your assets, present a realistic financial picture, and designate desired investment sources. Ponder various options, including small business loans, private interests and alternative sources of financing. They all have their pros and cons you would be wise to weigh.\nFurthermore, establish connections in the local business ecosystem. This should enable you to have access to best deals around and capitalize on fruitful business relationships. So, you need to know what kind of subcontractors you will cooperate with.\nMost entrepreneurs should keep an eye on utility system construction, finishing contractors and structural construction providers. For instance, you should know at all times how to contact a trusted Sydney electrician if you\u2019re working on a project in that city. Finally, note that you are working in a highly-regulated industry, albeit specifics vary from state to state.\nHence, you have to meet various legal, trade and regulatory requirements to operate within the boundaries of the law. Get familiar with building codes, licensing processes, relevant laws, occupational safety and health rules, insurance, requirements, etc. Like it or not, you must show due diligence, at least if you mean to stay on the safe side and avoid business-shattering financial shocks.\nBuilding it block by block\nThe construction industry always has demand and where demand is, there is also a lucrative opportunity. To maximize your chances of making it big, however, you cannot drift aimlessly. Work out a sound business plan. Carry out market research and gauge the level of competition.\nDevise the most prudent course of action and set your strategy into motion. Decide on the niche of your business and tap into suitable sources of funding. Lay the groundwork for long-term success and you will gain and have a head start in the immensely competitive arena.",

        "raw_content": "| Filed in: Austin, Central Texas, Children, Education, hispanics, latinos, news, population growth, poverty, Travis County\nBladimira Martinez takes notes while her daughter and business associate, Yessenia Ramirez, conducts business in Pflugerville last month. Martinez recently started her own cleaning company after years of working for others at or near minimum wage. NICK WAGNER / AMERICAN-STATESMAN\nThe headlines have been heartening lately for Latinos in Austin and across the country, at least when it comes to narrowing the income and education gaps that have dogged the nation\u2019s largest minority group for years.\nRecently, we learned that Latinos in the Austin-Round Rock metro area saw a hefty 17 percent increase in median household income from 2015 to 2016 \u2014 rising from $48,160 to $56,306, according to new census data.\nRELATED: Why Austin-area Latinos saw a big boost in household incomes\nEncouraging, yes, but it\u2019s not time to get carried away just yet. It\u2019s true that household incomes rose for Austin-area Latinos, but they still trail whites by a large margin.\nStill, closing the income gap offers hope for anyone who believes in the old clich\u00e9 that a rising tide lifts all boats. And for some time now in Austin, Latinos and African Americans have lagged behind whites in terms of quality of life barometers like income and educational attainment.\nAttempts to close gaps led the city to launch Hispanic Quality of Life and African American Quality of Life initiatives, which I covered many years ago. The reviews were mixed. Some minority residents said they didn\u2019t accomplish nearly enough. Some Austinites said the city should help all residents, not just certain minority groups. Regardless where you stood, many of the issues the initiatives sought to address back then are still around.\nBut back to the good news. Another reason to be encouraged is that there\u2019s plenty of demographic evidence around to believe that if the Austin region will continue to prosper, the future will depend to a large part on the young and fast-growing Hispanic population.\nIn Travis County alone, 47 percent of the child population is Hispanic, researchers with the Community Advancement Network (CAN) found.\n\u201cWhen I speak to groups, I tell them, \u2018That\u2019s our future right there. That\u2019s what the community is going to look like in 20 or 30 years,\u2019\u201d Raul Alvarez, who heads (CAN), told me.\nLatinos already make up about 32 percent of the roughly 2 million overall population in the Austin-Round Rock metro area, according to 2016 census data. That\u2019s no secret. What many people don\u2019t know, however, is that demographic experts expect that the Latino population will become the largest portion of the Central Texas workforce sometime in about the next 15 years.\nSuch projections, however, increasingly lead to worries that Latinos will be left behind because as skill requirements for some careers rise, comparative lack of education could leave a growing share of the local Latino workforce stuck in low-wage jobs.\nRELATED: The promise and the challenge of the Latino job puzzle\nBut there\u2019s good news on that front, too. According to experts, one of the logical explanations behind the Latino income increase is that Latinos are reaching higher education levels.\nThe percentage of Texas Latinos ages 25 and older with at least a bachelor\u2019s degree increased between 2015 and 2016, the American-Statesman reported recently.\nA new report by the Pew Research Center also found that among Hispanics nationwide, the high school dropout rate is at a new low \u2013 10 percent, continuing a decline spanning several decades. Moreover, as the Hispanic dropout rate plummeted, the share of Hispanic high school graduates who enter college rose, Pew reported.\nCASTILLO: A new giving network answers why Latinos need a hand\nWhile encouraging, the new income and education benchmarks aren\u2019t all rosy, and pronounced disparities between minorities and whites persist.\nThose figures showing the U.S. Hispanic high school dropout rate is at a new low of 10 percent? They don\u2019t tell the full story: the Hispanic dropout rate was higher than for any other racial and ethnic group.\nAnd though Austin Hispanics may have closed the gaps when it comes to income, they still lag far behind whites, whose median household income in 2016 was close to $74,000 \u2013 31 percent higher than that of Latinos ($56,306) and 48 percent higher than that of African Americans (49,871).\nAnd when income is measured another way \u2013 per capita \u2013Hispanics in Central Texas make less than half of what Anglos on average make per year, according to the Austin Community Foundation.\nIt shouldn\u2019t come as a surprise then that though Hispanics comprise only about a third of the overall Travis County population, they make up 55 percent of all Travis residents living in poverty, according to CAN, which keeps an annual Dashboard on its website that measures socioeconomic indicators.\nIt\u2019s even worse for children. CAN researchers found that Hispanic children, although comprising 47 percent of the child population, make up 74 percent of all Travis County children living in poverty.\nFor Alvarez, that figure may be more troubling than anything else.\n\u201cThat\u2019s important because it says Hispanics are overrepresented in terms of family and poverty, and they\u2019re going to face challenges that other populations are not going to face,\u201d Alvarez told me.\nIn other words, there\u2019s good news for area Latinos, but there\u2019s much work to be done.\nWill Amazon's HQ2 home be the old Motorola campus?\nCategories: Austin, Central Texas, Children, Education, hispanics, latinos, news, population growth, poverty, Travis County",

        "raw_content": "Olympic Health and Safety: Record Breakers\nPosted on 12 August 2016 by WA Management\nWhen the most dangerous thing associated with a programme employing 12,000 staff and involving 80 million man hours over five years is a sandcastle, you know you\u2019ve done a good job in terms of health and safety. While the 13 ft-by-6.5 ft sand sculpture on Weymouth beach \u2013 built to mark 100 days to go until the Games in April \u2013 had to be knocked down for health and safety reasons, the rest of the structures back in east London were standing firm. The London 2012 Olympics continue to be hailed as exemplar \u2013 the greenest, the fastest and, perhaps most importantly, the safest.\nOver the 80 million hours worked on the big build, there has been an accident frequency rate (AFR) of just 0.15 and the AFR over the last 12 months has been 0.1 \u2013 the industry average is 3.4. And for the first time in Olympic construction history there has not been a fatality, a feat recognised last month by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (ROSPA), which presented the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) with an award for completing the big build without a single death.\nI hope firms look at our reports and learn from them. I don\u2019t want them to praise us blindly and not apply the lessons\nLawrence Waterman, ODA\nThese impressive statistics \u2013 particularly on a huge scheme spread over a 500-acre site and a five-year time period \u2013 are in stark contrast to the industry norm.\nA Health and Safety Executive (HSE) report published in January 2012 said that 50 workers were killed in the construction industry over the 12 months from March 2011. This is the highest number of deaths across any industrial sector and an increase from 41 deaths in construction in the previous year.\nIt\u2019s clear more needs to be done to protect the UK\u2019s construction workers on site, and many are holding the Olympics up as a shining example of what can be achieved.\nLawrence Waterman, head of health and safety at the ODA, said: \u201cI hope this project will contribute to the next generation of development in construction by showing how we can be slicker, leaner and safer.\u201d\nBut there are questions over whether this is realistic or whether the \u201cOlympic Effect\u201d drove the impressive health and safety figures rather, than a repeatable system. The Olympics has been in the public eye more than any other scheme in the UK for decades and there have been commitments to be upheld to the government and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) which are likely to have resulted in more attention being paid to health and safety on this project than is usual.\nDespite the strong evidence that this increased attention resulted in a glowing health and safety record, the concern is that the time and money might not always be readily given over by clients and contractors on future projects that have tighter budgets and less profile.\n\u201cI would hope that companies will look at our reports and actually learn from our success,\u201d says Waterman. \u201cI don\u2019t want people to blindly praise us and not apply the lessons.\u201d\nBut with the Construction Clients Group (CCG) already in talks with major firms \u2013 especially those in the nuclear sector who are most likely to be developing and building on a large scale soon \u2013 to ensure the lessons are not lost, the hope is that the Olympic record will live on and make a difference.\nHere we consider just how the ODA and its delivery partner CLM ensured that the London 2012 big build was the safest in Olympic history, and whether the rest of the industry is ready to meet the new, high bar that has been set.\nFor the full original article, please click HERE to be taken to the SHPOnline Website.\nPosted in Event SafetyTagged 2012, 2014, Event Safety, London, Olympics, Rio",

A book store could not sell books that address the subject of \"change\" for those with unwanted same-sex desires. Events would be prohibited if admission is charged. It's possible that any book, including the Bible, which discusses God's plan for sexual relations, would be included.\nDATE: Tues., Jun. 12, 2018\n9:00 A.M. to 11:00 A.M. - PRE-RALLY\nMen and women who were \"once gay\" will share their personal stories of change.\n11:00 A.M. to 12:00 P.M. - Lunch\n12:00 P.M. to 12:45 - MAIN RALLY\nMain speakers include:\nPastor Jack Hibbs, Calvary Chapel Chino Hills\n1:00 P.M. to 4:30 P.M. - Attend the Judiciary Committee hearing.\nEvery person in attendance will be allowed to voice his or her opposition to AB 2943.

        "title": "The Advantages of Choosing Dedicated Server Hosting",
        "raw_content": "Selecting the right hosting plan is often a pretty confusing choice. If you have just finished work on your new website and are now ready to launch it, the only thing left to do is to select a hosting plan. Selecting the right hosting plan can be difficult, especially if you don\u2019t know what you need. Many people make the stupid mistake of choosing the cheapest option out there, and end up suffering huge losses. The first thing that you should know about choosing a hosting plan is that there are several types of hosting plans. Here are just two of the most popular hosting plans that are currently used today.\nThis is by far the most common hosting plan offered by companies today. There are several reasons why shared hosting is so popular. The most obvious reason is because it is so affordable. You can get a starter hosting plan for as little as \u00a310 and take your website live. For people who are only just starting off on the Internet, this is often the most attractive option.\nMost people who start their own websites often begin with a small blog, or a simpler website with a few pages. They dream of generating enough money through their blogs or websites to sustain themselves financially. However, nobody wants to spend lots of money on hosting a website. Shared hosting plans are cheaper and are designed to give you a taste of the online world.\nThe salient feature of shared hosting plans is the fact that several websites are hosted on a single server. For instance, five or six websites may be hosted on the same computer. All of the files and information from the files are stored in separate folders. Therefore, you only have a limited amount of space available if you choose a shared hosting plan. In the event your website grows and you need more space, you will either have to upgrade your plan or purchase more space at a premium.\nDedicated hosting plans are designed for online stores and larger websites. Businesses that generally provide an online service to their customers often choose dedicated hosting plans. Dedicated hosting plans are completely different from shared hosting plans. For instance, the biggest difference lies in the fact that if you choose a dedicated hosting plan, your website will be hosted on a dedicated server. No other website will be hosted on the same server.\nObviously, this means that dedicated hosting plans are much more expensive, because the hosting company is allocating many more resources to your website. There are many companies that offer dedicated hosting plans to their customers. For instance, dedicated server hosting from CWCS is incredibly popular in the UK.\nAs you can imagine, dedicated server hosting isn\u2019t the right choice for most website owners. If you are running an ordinary blog or a simple website, choosing a dedicated hosting plan might be a bit of overkill. These hosting plans are generally designed for online stores, service websites or those websites that have to remain active round the clock. For instance, if you are providing your clients with a real time trading terminal, you should seriously consider opting for a dedicated server hosting plan. Here are just some of the reasons why dedicated server hosting plans are so popular.\nCustomisation plays a vital role for most website owners. You should be able to optimise the server according to your needs so as to get maximum performance. If you choose a dedicated server hosting plan, you will be able to get just that. When you choose a dedicated server hosting plan, your website will be hosted on a separate server. You will be able to choose the specifications of the server, such the RAM and the hard drive space. In fact, you will also be able to choose other elements, such as the operating system installed on the server. You will be able to decide what software programs you want to install on the server, as well as any other changes you might want to make.\nDedicated server hosting gives you complete control over the server, thus allowing you to set up the server just how you see fit. It is an excellent option for certain websites that require specific server conditions to work properly. For instance, what if you run a script that might be designed for a particular set of conditions on the server? If you are on a shared hosting plan, you will probably end up crashing the whole server.\nOne of the biggest risks of choosing a shared hosting plan is that viruses and malware can infect the whole server. If one website gets affected, it is likely that the virus will spread to all other websites hosted on the same server too. However, if you are on a dedicated hosting plan, you will not have to worry about any such thing. Yours would be the only website on the whole server, thus minimising the chances of malware and virus infections. Dedicated hosting plans are also highly secure, because most companies that offer dedicated hosting generally install robust antivirus programs to provide maximum security to their clients.\nCustomer support plays a vital role in the hosting industry. What if your website goes offline and nobody responds to your call? One of the most important factors that you need to check before choosing any hosting provider is the quality of customer service that it offers.\nHowever, did you know that clients who choose dedicated hosting plans generally receive priority customer care? You will get the number to a dedicated helpline that you can call on in order to get more information about the server status, or lodge a request. An agent will be available round the clock to answer your query.",

I managed to sit directly in front of the screamingist baby ever to lift off. Two hours of non-stop primal yelping. As soon as we hit the ground, every guy under 30 opened up his cell phone and called to make a vasectomy appointment.\nThey've added wireless net access to the airport in Seattle, just in time for my 2 hour layover and a great lunch of beer and Dungeness crab while answering email. Then on to the flight to Edmonton. No screaming babies. Canadian civility and calm filled the plane, and something rare (for me) happened: I got talking with my seatmate. Her name is Martha Kent, same as Superman's mom in Smallville, and she's a neuropsychologist in Phoenix. She's going to the University of Alberta to do a presentation based on her autobiography describing her childhood in post-war Europe. As ethnic Germans living in Poland, her family experienced the largest scale ethnic cleansing of the last century, something I'd never been aware of before. From 1945 to 1949, they lived in concentration camps until finally being allowed to enter East Germany, bribe their way into West Germany, and finally settle in Canada. Now she works with Vietnam-era veterans and tries to get them to recreate her trick of turning a traumatic past into a new, positive life. We had a great chat. Especially the Bush-bashing part.\nJasper is a five hour drive west of Edmonton. Mostly flat with scattered forests until the last hour or so. Then the Rockies appear on the horizon slowly getting larger. Because we're so far north, the twilight lasts for hours and it was still a deep blue dusk at 10pm as I finally climbed up and into the snow-covered mountains. Beauteous!",

        "raw_content": "Milestone Movies : Nanook of the North (1922)\nJune 28, 2011 Brannavan Gnanalingam Movies 0\nThe birth of documentaries as real life fictions\u2026\nRobert Flaherty is one of the most influential filmmakers of all-time. He\u2019s also one of the most controversial. Called the first documentary filmmaker, and the father of visual anthropology (both of which are slightly historically inaccurate), Flaherty caused a stir with his 1922 Inuit tale Nanook of the North. The New York Times excitedly proclaimed the film as signifying the end of Hollywood, especially given Hollywood was reeling at the time from a number of sex and drug scandals.\nHowever, while Flaherty\u2019s later career wasn\u2019t as spectacular, he left such a lasting impression that films such as Moana (filmed in Samoa), Man of Aran (filmed in the Aran Islands off Ireland) and the Louisiana Story (1948) have been seen as important documentary milestones. Flaherty\u2019s life is also subject to an entertaining documentary to be shown at this year\u2019s International Film Festival, called A Boatload of Wild Irishmen, which focuses on Flaherty\u2019s controversial approach to shooting \u2018real-life\u2019.\nFlaherty was a mining prospector who managed to gain a reputation for his still photography and moving images that he captured while up in the Canadian Arctic. However, his film work shifted after seeing (and being compared to) Edward Curtis\u2019 1914 film In the Land of the Head Hunters. Curtis\u2019 film looked at the Kwakwaka\u2019wakw people in British Columbia. Curtis eschewed the idea of simply showing, and favoured, by all accounts, an exploitative and patronising narrative. This approach convinced Flaherty to shift the way he conceived of Nanook of the North, turning the film into an examination of how a single Inuit (whom he named Nanook) lived his life in the harsh Arctic climate.\nThe only problem is the film is hardly documentary. Nanook was a character invented by Flaherty, and the actor\u2019s real name was Allakariallak. His \u2018wife\u2019 was anything but, and the legend goes the woman who plays Nanook\u2019s wife was actually Flaherty\u2019s mistress with whom he had a child and later abandoned. A Boatload of Wild Irishmen interviews Flaherty\u2019s purported grand-daughter, and suggests Flaherty\u2019s legacy is hardly that of ethnographer trying to trample as little as possible. Flaherty also convinced Nanook to appear more primitive \u2013 hunting was done with spears, instead of the rifles they would have used, and scenes were manipulated so that Flaherty could get better shots. Flaherty also structured his film around a narrative \u2013 everyday life was made to fit in exciting blizzards and hunts.\nBut the film caused a sensation. And it was seen as revolutionary: it was one of the first times that \u2018exotic\u2019 cultures had been shown to a Western mass market, and the main characters were seen as authentic, real-life figures. It has also subsequently been argued to capture a culture at a particular point in time, Flaherty\u2019s interventions notwithstanding. Through this film \u2013 which in turn led him to being argued to be the founder of documentary feature film \u2013 Flaherty set up the age-old debate around documentary. How much of a documentary is manipulated?\nAny film that purports to capture real-life, whether it\u2019s a cin\u00e9ma-v\u00e9rit\u00e9 film that attempts to be hands-off, or a talking-heads documentary, would always feature some sort of authorial intervention from the location of the camera, to what is actually shot, to how the shots are edited together. And, the same debate, hasn\u2019t simply happened with documentary film, but with anything that claims to capture reality \u2013 from the news to a photograph. Nanook of the North arguably instituted these debates right from the outset (Flaherty was always very defensive when quizzed about how much manipulation he did), and set up the model by which documentary cinema is still to this very day, judged. One only needs to look at the reception to filmmakers like Frederick Wiseman, Michael Moore, or Nick Broomfield, or films like Hoop Dreams, An Inconvenient Truth or Les Ma\u00eetres Fous.\nFlaherty found himself after Nanook of the North with Hollywood studio support and a commercially sellable name. His follow-up Moana (1926) however was a commercial flop. It was filmed in Savai\u2019i, Samoa, and also featured a dubiously contrived narrative and \u2018actors\u2019 playing \u2018real-life\u2019. It\u2019s a fascinating account of tribal traditions and Flaherty\u2019s own pre-conceptions of how a \u201cNoble Savage\u201d lived in Samoa (it\u2019s hard not to compare Moana with the anthropologist Margaret Mead). As A Boatload of Wild Irishmen suggests however, Flaherty\u2019s films have some ethnographic merit in that they captured people from a time gone-by, as they once may have been, and the documentary showed contemporary Samoans watching and enjoying the film.\nHowever, this attempt to freeze a people in time is what makes Flaherty quite problematic. It\u2019s true that film by its nature \u2018freezes\u2019 the image it captures \u2013 but Flaherty\u2019s aim was to freeze the \u2018real-life\u2019 according to how he patronisingly thought the people lived. Man of Aran (1934) came about following Flaherty\u2019s growing friendship with English documentary pioneer John Grierson took him over to Europe (Grierson coined the word \u201cdocumentary\u201d when reviewing Moana). And it demonstrated Flaherty at his most intransigent.\nFilmed in the impoverished Aran Islands off Ireland, the film was also the first sound feature Flaherty made \u2013 in fact, he recorded the sound later in London, in English (as opposed to the Islanders\u2019 Irish). Flaherty had an idea of what the Aran Islanders were like, so for the film he \u2018persuaded\u2019 three men to go rowing in a wild storm, just as it would have looked good for the cameras, almost killing the lot of them. He persuaded his actors to maintain their \u2018poor\u2019 characters in real-life. And he contrived characters and a narrative. He also leaves his films de-contextualized and de-historicised (or at least leaving it open to the audience to figure out). And as A Boatload of Wild Irishmen suggests, there was, and is still, a little bit of resentment towards Flaherty\u2019s filmmaking approach in the Aran Islands.\nHowever, that film, and Flaherty\u2019s last feature, Louisiana Story (1948), also demonstrate some of Flaherty\u2019s strengths. His cinematography is absolutely stunning, and his conceptions on how to construct a scene visually were way ahead of his time (his use of cutting to create tension in Nanook of the North arguably matched the Soviet innovations of the same time). These two films also feature Flaherty\u2019s almost trademark na\u00efve approach (if that\u2019s an excuse for his treatment of his subjects), which give his films a rare kind of energy and intrigue. His ideas also had a distinct influence on the 1950s and \u201860s cin\u00e9ma-v\u00e9rit\u00e9 filmmakers in France and the direct cinema filmmakers in the United States. He died a few years after Louisiana Story, with his reputation only becoming recognised following the increased visibility of documentary filmmaking in later years.\nA Boatload of Wild Irishmen, made by Brian Winston, utilises a variety of sources to capture Flaherty, including his Inuit granddaughter, his cameraman on Louisiana Story, pioneering documentary filmmaker Richard Leacock (who died a few months ago) , and Irish and Samoan commentators. It\u2019s also a fascinating account of a flawed pioneer of documentary film, one whose influence has been immense, for better or worse.\nBoatload of Wild Irishmen\nDocumentary Realism",

These concepts are important as parents can be put under great pressures to accept certain negative behaviors as being normal for their child. Especially in the case of some learning or behavioral disorders, this kind of thinking does a great disservice to families that are in difficult situations to begin with. The discussion evolves around the idea of routines and security issues as being even more important in the above circumstances. Encouragement is given to parents to keep strong and provide a safe and secure haven for their children who may be experiencing more duress outside the home and in school situations.\nA further point is made to give information on a frequently overlooked problem that is easily corrected, yet causes children to be unable to read or unable to read well.",

It is a gritty portrayal of one of the most popular Mortal Kombat characters, set within the confines of the real world, despite having some fantastical elements. This episode is all about Raiden, god of thunder, who arrives on earth, within the walls of a mental institution. What follows is a pretty effective and dramatic 10 minutes (minus credits), which has Raiden going through some rough treatment as he is forced to suffer at the hands of doctors who think he is crazy. Probably my favorite episode yet in this oddly intriguing series.

Interesting!\nComment on May 18th, 2011\tat 8:32 pm\nDidn\u2019t care for this one. What was the point?\nWith that logic, besides the previous two, which were about backstory, what\u2019s the point of any of these.\nIn the sense of not propelling the story forward in anyway. After episode 2 the pacing of the series have gone downhill fast. 1 & 2 are my favorite.\nComment on May 19th, 2011\tat 10:45 am\nIf the series was called \u201cJax Vs. Kano\u201d than I would agree, but how did 1 and 2 propel the story of Mortal Kombat forward any more than this episode about Raiden? Everyone knows that each of these characters is just on their own personal journey of fighting in a tournament. If anything, the Johnny Cage episode is the only one that actually established some sort of running arc, and that was the worst one.",

The battle for our wrists is on the forefront of this trend, with a growing number of smartwatches that are looking to take the phones out of our pockets and place them on our arms. Although there have been some strong attempts so far, we haven't yet seen a \"killer\" product that will gain wide acceptance from the masses. The first that comes close is the Neptune Pine, a miniature wristphone that can make phone calls, take photos, connect to WiFi, has a large-ish screen, and doesn't need to be teathered to the smartphone in your pocket. As a stand-alone device, it is probably the direction that smartwatches are headed. Of course, the project is being promoted and funded on Kickstarter where it has already raised more than USD $500,000. Are you interested in wearing a smartwatch? Even many people who said they had no interest in owning a tablet before the iPad came out now own one... or more.

        "title": "RENTING YOUR HOME LONG TERM IN SPAIN Pt 2 \u2013 Who Pays for the new Washing Machine? \u00ab Writers in Spain",
        "raw_content": "Who pays for the new washing machine? If the property is rented furnished, then all \u2018white goods\u2019 will be supplied & must be in good working order. As must heating/aircon systems, pool pumps, irrigation systems etc., even in unfurnished properties. Basically, if it\u2019s there when the tenant moves in, it must be in working order.\nBut what happens if it breaks down? Unless there has been misuse by the tenant, the property owner is responsible for the repair or replacement of these things. The logistics of payment can vary. The law says that the property owner should arrange for the repair/replacement as quickly as possible & pay for it himself. As I said earlier, the rental agent might take responsibility for this \u2013 but many don\u2019t. If there is no agent, or if it\u2019s a telephone/email support service, and the owner is unable to transfer funds quickly enough, it\u2019s not unusual for the tenant to pay for the repairs himself & with the agreement of the owner, deduct it from the next rental payment. It is of course best to get the agreement in writing, and receipts would have to be supplied.\nMaintenance of the structure of a property. The owner is responsible for the maintenance of the structure of the property. For example, if the roof leaks, the tenant isn\u2019t responsible for the repair. If the door or window frames rot, it\u2019s up to the owner to deal with it. If the terrace collapses into the cesspit, or the swimming pool springs a leak, it\u2019s not the tenant\u2019s responsibility. Even with a long term rental.\nHowever \u2013 if the window is smashed/the shelf in the bathroom get damaged as a result of negligence by the tenant, then the tenant is responsible for the repair.\nMaintenance of private pool & garden. This is a matter for individual contracts. In some cases the tenant will deal with it or pay someone to do it for them, in some it is included in the rent & paid for by the owner, & in others, the owner contracts an individual or company & the tenant picks up the bill. It\u2019s important that this is clear in the contract, so both tenant & owner need to discuss their needs.",

        "raw_content": "Mercy Cassville, Aurora names new administrator\nThe New Year brings a new leader to Mercy in Aurora and Cassville, but she\u2019s no stranger to the health care system. Serving at Mercy for more than two decades, Nicki Gamet is now administrator for both hospitals.\n\u201cI really hit the ground running,\u201d said Gamet, who most recently served as executive director of operations at Mercy hospitals in Aurora and Cassville. Before that, Gamet served as director of nursing in both locations for eight years. \u201cThere\u2019s something different about working for Mercy \u2013 we live and breathe our faith, and I hope my new role will help me impact others the way the Sisters of Mercy have impacted me.\u201d\nGamet\u2019s career in health care began 27 years ago as a certified nurse assistant during high school, serving Milan Healthcare in Milan, Missouri. She attended nursing school at North Central Missouri College in 1995, and then later received her bachelor of science in nursing from Southwest Baptist University. She received her master of arts in management and leadership from Webster University.\n\u201cMy first job as a registered nurse was in Kirksville at Grim Smith Hospital, which today is Northeast Regional Medical Center,\u201d Gamet said. \u201cTwo years later, my husband and I moved to Springfield and I started working at Mercy \u2013 the same year we got married.\u201d\nGamet quickly moved up the ranks after joining Aurora Community Hospital (now Mercy Hospital Aurora) in 1997. During the next 20 years, she would serve as a registered nurse; a charge nurse, director of nursing and chief nursing officer at Mercy hospitals in Aurora and Cassville; and, most recently, executive director of operations in both communities.\n\u201cI\u2019m so excited to continue my journey with Mercy in this new leadership role,\u201d Gamet said, who is also a self-described \u201cfull-time sports practice mom.\u201d She and husband Patrick \u2013 her high school sweetheart \u2013 have two children: son Jackson, 12, and daughter Parker, 11.\n\u201cWe spend a lot of time at basketball, softball, baseball and football practices,\u201d said Gamet, who does manage to squeeze in a Disney World trip each year with the family. \u201cWe also make time to help others in the community, whether it\u2019s through Victory Mission or Crosslines. Most recently, my daughter collected hundreds of cans of fruit to help the homeless because some lacked access to essential food groups.\u201d\nOn the hospital floors, that compassion continues for Gamet. \u201cWe have to keep the faith and let our co-workers know that everything they do impacts our mission to serve others. I\u2019m challenging myself and my colleagues to not only continue putting patients first, but to also build upon the incredible care that we provide. We\u2019re all in this together.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Home > Career Planning > Research the Company Before your Interview\nIt\u2019s important to carry out some research about the company you want to work for before you attend the interview for several reasons.\nReasons Why You Should Research The Company\nFirstly, interviews are a two-way process and, in addition to the company wanting to find out if you\u2019re a suitable candidate, it\u2019s just as important to find out all you can about the company to ensure that they\u2019re right for you too if you do get offered the job. Secondly, whilst most interviews are not set up to intentionally \u2018grill\u2019 you about what you know about the company, there\u2019s bound to be at least one or two questions which you\u2019ll be able to answer far more confidently as the result of having some knowledge about the company.\nFor example, you may get asked why you want to work for the company or even what you think of their latest advertising campaign. Therefore, by being able to apply some knowledge of the company in answering these questions, the interviewer will be impressed that you\u2019ve done your homework which will demonstrate your interest and commitment to working for them.\nFinally, the interviewer will almost always ask you if you have any questions at the end. Whilst many people will simply ask questions such as \u201cwhat\u2019s the salary and how many holidays am I entitled to?\u201d, interviewer\u2019s are more impressed if you demonstrate you know something about the company itself. So, for example, a good question might be, \u201cI noticed you laid off 100 staff last year. As I\u2019m looking for career progression in the long term, how would you convince me that you can fulfil my career expectations?\u201d\nHow You Can Research The Company\nThere are many different ways in which you can find out more about a particular company. Most companies have a website presence these days and they are a great place to find out more about a company. Pay particular attention to the sections below if the website has them:\nRetail is all about sales and outsmarting the competition so do your homework on which companies are the main competitors of the one you\u2019re interested in working for. Company directories online are often a good way of doing this. By being able to drop in a competitor\u2019s name into the interview somewhere along the line, the interviewer will be impressed by the fact that you are aware of what its main competitors have been up to which is an important awareness to have in retail. It also demonstrates your commitment.\nCheck Out Business Websites\nFind out what you can from reputable business sites. Business Week, the Financial Times and directories like Hoover\u2019s UK are useful sites where you can pick up \u2018nuggets\u2019 of information as well as Forbes and Fortune 500 if the company is American owned. Blogs have become more widespread amongst businesses too so use a search engine to see if you can locate any company blogs which may have been written by some of their top executives. Libraries are also a good source of finding out company information. Additionally, it does no harm at all to call the company up before the interview and ask them if they can supply you with any brochures or other literature.\nIn doing your research, the company will be impressed that you\u2019ve gone to the effort of finding out a little more about them and it can certainly give you the edge in interviews where, in a situation where two candidates are closely matched, you can be offered the job simply by having took the time to do your homework.",

        "raw_content": "The Purpose of the Workout\nFor the past several years I have had the privilege of working with many of the extraordinary actors who have chosen to live and work in the Twin Cities. In that time I have come to see a need for and heard many actors express a desire to have ongoing training. Training that specifically addresses the growth actors who are not beginners, but those who are on a professional career path by virtue of training and or experience.\nIdeally, once we have finished initial training our growth and development usually comes from working \u2014 having the opportunity to do a range of different roles, working with other actors and directors of varied backgrounds, ages, and experience. For a fortunate few this happens. For most however, the course of a career is far more uncertain: there are the inevitable periods when there is no work; sometimes the work that does come along affords limited opportunity for growth or exploration; one\u2019s casting can wind-up being so narrow that it begins to limit even the actor\u2019s own ability to see beyond their \u201ctype.\u201d Sometimes the very success an actor has achieved in a particular role, or kind of role, compromises their ability or their desire to challenge themselves. Inevitably a kind of artistic atrophy sets in.\nAs a remedy, I created, with the cooperation of the education department of the Guthrie Theater, The Actors Workout. The aim is to have a safe, supportive and challenging training environment for the professionally oriented actor that will encourage and allow them to extend, expand and deepen their craft. The instruction is intended to be highly individual, focusing on each actor\u2019s needs and dealing with issues relevant to their particular creative process and working circumstances. The goal is to nurture and free the individual actor\u2019s creative spirit, so that he or she becomes a more creative, open and courageous artist.",

One of the main activities for every school would be the Sports Day, most of the schools having their Sports Day at the beginning of the year, some towards the end of the year when all their exams are done with so the students can concentrate on training and perform well.\nI attended my kid's sports day last week, the marching band is not perfect but good enough for primary school students with about 2 weeks training.\nAfter the sport day, I could noticed my girl had sun burnt, good training for her to be in the matching band.\nLabels: 2016, sports\nRose World 1 November 2016 at 13:19\nSo nice your kids finished their exam last week.

        "raw_content": "Apec Tourism Charter\nMeeting for the first time in Seoul, Korea (ROK), tourism ministers of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) caucus adopted the \"Seoul Declaration on an APEC Tourism Charter\" which presents a vision of tourism in the new millennium and offers a direction for its development. The Charter establishes four key policy goals:\n1. Remove impediments to tourism business and investment\n2. Increase mobility of visitors and demand for tourism goods and services in the APEC region\n3. Sustainably manage tourism outcomes and impacts\n4. Enhance recognition and understanding of tourism as a vehicle for economic and social development\nIt then sets out an agreed process for achieving these policy goals by liberalising barriers, enhancing competitiveness, building capability, promoting positive tourism development policies, discouraging practices which have a negative impact on APEC member economies and on the image of tourism, and identifying emerging issues impacting upon tourism.\nThe Charter was drafted with the help of numerous international bodies, including PATA. PATA believes implementation of the Charter will further enhance its own objective to grow the quality and quantity of Pacific Asia travel and facilitate investment, accessibility and sustainability.\nIndeed, it was alongside the PATA Annual Conference in Hong Kong SAR on April 29 that the agenda for the Seoul ministerial meeting was agreed upon. The background work was done by APEC's Tourism Working Group (APEC TWG) which has convened several times over the last few years to make tourism fully involved in the overall APEC plan for regional economic development.\nOther international organisations that helped draft the Charter include the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC), the World Tourism Organization (WTO), the United Nations and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).\nAt the 12th TWG meeting in Mexico City, Korea (ROK) offered to host the first APEC tourism ministerial conference and then played a major role in convening it. A secretariat was established as early as November 1999, as well as a Web site containing all relevant information and registration details.\nKorean (ROK) President Mr. Kim Dae Jung himself presided at the opening, noting in his speech that this was the first time that Pacific Asia tourism ministers had met to recognise the role and importance of the tourism industry in the economic growth of Pacific Asia and to clear the way for private companies to do business (see sidebar).\nSEOUL DECLARATION ON AN APEC TOURISM CHARTER\nThe declaration captures the spirit of agreement and shared purpose for the development of tourism within APEC countries. It reflects a collective commitment to improve the economic, cultural, social and environmental well being of APEC member economies through tourism.\nThe policy goals and processes adopted in the Charter are consistent with the goals for free and open trade and investment established in APEC's \"Bogor Declaration\" and the general principles for trade liberalisation and economic and technical cooperation established in the Osaka Action Agenda.\nThe ministers recognise the significant contribution tourism makes to APEC economies and the goals of APEC, and sign off on their intent to further develop this contribution through tourism.\nThe Charter states, \"The high level of intra-regional tourism and the experience of the recent Asian currency crisis has highlighted the importance of APEC's broader goals to strengthen our respective economies and provide a stronger platform for sustainable development, economic growth and cooperation. We therefore affirm these broader goals and encourage their achievement in the interests of advancing tourism in the APEC region and the benefits tourism delivers to our economies.\"\nThe ministers also \"recognise and value the many non-economic benefits that tourism provides for our respective economies,\" in particular fostering cross-cultural understanding; promoting local and indigenous cultures, arts and heritage; highlighting the need to preserve the social and cultural fabric and integrity of host communities; and promoting world peace by developing international cooperation in a spirit of friendship, dialogue and understanding.\nThe Charter also defines a clear business plan and work programme for the TWG which has also been tasked \"to move quickly to implement the Charter and provide regular progress reports to future tourism ministerial meetings.\"\nWhile most of the issues raised in the Charter are directly within the portfolio jurisdiction of tourism ministers, it recognises that there are many other issues outside the ministers' jurisdiction that can further enhance tourism development, such as transportation and facilitation. Thus, the Charter responds to the request of economic leaders to expand the level of cooperation and dialogue between APEC members.\nIt also recognises the importance of the \"key partnership\" between the public and private sector to deliver tourism objectives and achieve Charter goals.\nThe Charter establishes the following policy goals:\nThis will be done by promoting and facilitating the mobility of skills, training and labour as well as productive investment in tourism and associated sectors; removing regulatory impediments to business and investment; and encouraging liberalisation of services under the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS).\n2. Increase mobility of visitors and demand for tourism goods and services in the APEC region.\nThis will be done by facilitating seamless travel for visitors; enhancing visitor experiences; promoting inter- and intra-regional marketing opportunities and cooperation; facilitating and promoting e-commerce for tourism business; enhancing safety and security of visitors; and fostering a non-discriminatory approach to the provision of visitor facilities and services.\nThis will be done by pursuing policies that demonstrate an appreciation and understanding of the natural environment and seek to protect that environment; foster ecologically sustainable development opportunities across the tourism sector, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises, for employment and for providing for open and sustainable tourism markets; protect the social integrity of host communities with particular attention to the implications of gender in the management and development of tourism; recognise, respect and preserve local and indigenous cultures together with natural and national cultural heritage; and enhance capability building in the management and development of tourism.\nThis will be done by harmonising the methods for collecting tourism statistics, consistent with activities of other international tourism organisations; facilitating the exchange of information on tourism between economies; promoting comprehensive analysis of the role of tourism in member economies in promoting sustainable growth; and expanding APEC's collective knowledge base on tourism issues in order to identify emerging issues and assist implementation of the Charter.\nTo follow up the Charter's policy goals with firm action, the APEC ministers agreed to a two-fold strategy:\n1) things they need to and can do in areas that come under their own jurisdiction and\n2) things they need to accomplish via other APEC forums, such as changes in transportation, investment and beating facilitation obstacles. Thus, APEC tourism bodies will develop and implement individual action plans (IAPs) and collective action plans (CAPs) and identify issues for consideration by other APEC forums. The IAP and CAP plans will be developed through the TWG.\nIdentification of issues for consideration by other APEC forums will be deemed as necessary by consensus and will be non-binding to member economies. This is consistent with APEC practise.\nBy February 2001: Individual governments will nominate issues they wish to raise under the CAPs as well the package of issues to be referred to other APEC forums for consideration.\nBy May 2001: Nomination of IAPs on matters relating to policy goals agreed in the APEC Charter.\nBy May 2001: Governments will have an opportunity to engage others in bi/multilateral discussion on action plans relating to APEC Charter policy goals.\nBy May 2001: The TWG will agree on other issues to be referred to other APEC forums and prepare a comprehensive schedule of IAPs and CAPs.\nBy May 2002: APEC economies to confirm and update IAPs for the TWG, including action plans agreed in bi/multilateral discussions.\nBy May 2002: The TWG will meet again to finalise IAPs and CAPs as well as issues to be referred to other APEC forums.\nJuly 2002: The endorsement of a comprehensive schedule by the second meeting of tourism ministers.\nMONITORING, RESEARCH AND REVIEW PHASE\nEvery February thereafter, APEC economies will 1) report back on what follow-up actions have been taken to implement the IAPs and CAPs and 2) nominate additions to IAPs as well as additional issues for CAPs and referral by the TWG to other APEC forums for consideration.\nThe delivery against action plans will be verified annually for a report to the TWG in October in line with independent verification procedures employed elsewhere by APEC.\nThe TWG will confirm annually in May changes to IAPs and agree on additions to CAPs as well as issues for referral to other APEC forums.\nThe TWG will report annually in October on emerging issues and trends in tourism to guide consideration of IAPs and CAPs and issues identified to ensure and maintain the relevance of the Charter.\nThe above schedule may be amended and/or modified by the TWG as is deemed appropriate to further the goals and objectives of the Charter. Any such modifications will be advised to the ministers at regular meetings.\nThe second APEC tourism ministerial meeting will be held in Manzanillo, Colima, Mexico, in July 2002. The ministers will review the schedule of IAPs and CAPs developed by the TWG, review implementation and discuss any modifications to the Charter.\nThe Charter references three key delivery dates: 2005, 2010 and 2020.\nThree countries have offered to help other APEC states with implementation of three of the policy goals of the APEC Charter. They are New Zealand (sustainable tourism development), Canada (tourism satellite accounts) and Australia (tourism information networks).\nSUSTAINABLE TOURISM DEVELOPMENT: New Zealand prepared the Statement of Commitment from APEC economies that clearly identified the various policy parameters that must guide sustainable tourism development. This statement was adopted by the ministers with the view that it be used by the TWG in examining further measures to promote tourism sustainability.\nTOURISM SATELLITE ACCOUNTS: To help APEC economies implement the TSAs, Canada has pledged to make available its own publications on the subject, as well as training manuals and training materials, facilitate and organise training seminars and conferences; provide technical assistance; and undertake case studies of compliance requirements to harmonise existing TSAs with improved standards.\nTOURISM INFORMATION NETWORK: This will be a central data warehouse for information on the APEC tourism sector and will enhance access to information made available by APEC economies and other tourism organisations. Australia has agreed to pursue the feasibility of building a network of APEC tourism research centres along the lines of its own Co-operative Research Centre. It has also submitted a paper outlining how this can be done in three stages between 2001 and 2004.\nQUOTE FROM PRESIDENT Mr. Kim Dae Jung ON TOURISM AND PEACE\nWe learn from history that tourism has contributed to the resolution of regional conflicts and to world peace. This is being proven on the Korean peninsula. South and North Korea began tours to Kumgangsan, the Diamond Mountains, in the North in November 1998. This began to foster an atmosphere reconciliation on the peninsula, promoted exchanges and became an important turning point for the settlement of peace.\nFor three days between June 13 and 15, 2000, I visited North Korea, climbing over the barrier of 55 years of division. I agreed with North Korean leaders that we would not repeat the tragedy of war but would cooperate in many areas including economy, civic affairs and culture.\nAchievements like these were made possible by tourism.From now on, tourism will continue to play an important role in reconciliation and cooperation as well as peace and unification by dismantling 55 years of division of the country.\nI would like to take this opportunity to ask APEC members to broaden people-to-people exchanges and mutual understanding with North Korea by designating the North as a tourist destination and the object of cooperation. Thus, I hope you will cooperate with us so that South and North Korea can work together for genuine unity and prosperity in the Asia Pacific region.\nThe Republic of Korea has already declared 2001 as Visit Korea Year, to contribute to world peace through the promotion of tourism. Moreover, the United Nations has declared 2000 as the Year of World Peace and Culture.\nI believe that now is the best time for workers in the tourism industry to play a role for world peace. It is time for them to expand the framework for peace that was formed through the tours of Kumgangsan to the entire APEC region and further to the world.",

It is also called as air transport. When it comes to aircraft, there are different types. The most common types are fixed-wing and rotary-wing types. Airships and balloons too are included. When the hot air balloon was invented, aviation also started and it was in the 18th century. As technology continue to develop, there were also significant advancements in aviation technology. It includes the development of the controlled gliding flying of Otto Lilienthal.\nThen, the first powered airplane constructed by the Wright brothers has made the aviation industry much developed and became very popular. Soon after, the jet was introduced and became one of the major form of transport throughout the world. There had been many inventions that were made before such as the hot air balloon which was designed by the Montgolfier brothers, the rigid airships especially the ones manufactured by the German Zeppelin company, and many innovations and great progress was made in the field of aviation.\nThe Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier, Embraer, and the United Aircraft Corporation are the five major manufacturers of civil transport aircraft. These companies are based in different parts of the world. Some of these companies focus on wide-body and narrow-body jet airliners like the Boeing and Airbus. For Bombardier and Embraer, it concentrates on regional airliners. In terms of the general aviation, both private and commercial are included. Even business flights, parachuting, hang gliding, air ambulance, and police air patrols are also included.\nBeauty of Aviation",

        "title": "Multiple Benefits of a Wimbledon Loft Conversion",
        "raw_content": "With living space where I live in Wimbledon being at an absolute premium, it is little wonder that many homeowners are opting for a loft conversion to increase the available usable space in their house. Here we have been several reasons why you might want to consider a loft conversion in your London home.\nSpace for growing children\nIt could be that your toddler has grown out of his cot and now needs a small bedroom of his own. Or perhaps your teens no longer want to share a room and moving to a bigger house for the remaining few years they will be living at home is simply not an option. A loft extension is a simple solution to the problem of growing kids, no matter what their age.\nAccommodating an elderly parent\nAlthough most families hope it will never happen, the fact is that often as parents age the family must face the choice of placing them in a residential care home or provide accommodation and care within a family setting. If you decide to offer the latter, but are limited on space, converting your loft for existing family members to allow space for a parent on the ground floor on your home is a great solution. The family can continue with their privacy as always, while the parent does not need to feel she is overly intruding.\nSpace to work from home\nThese days, many people are working from home, either as online entrepreneurs with their own businesses, as a home worker for a company, or as a freelancer. While working from home has many benefits, there are also has downsides, and one of these is the distractions that can occur throughout your working day. A loft conversion allows you to have a quiet space in the top of your house where you can concentrate and get your work done, as well as freeing up room downstairs for family activities.\nFlooring the loft\nTransforming a loft into livable space requires substantial flooring that is absent in most homes. This can be achieved by attaching plywood panels to the floor joists as subflooring, then installing a floor. Loft floor joists should be 2 by 12 to provide enough support for both heavy furniture and people. Simple storage is usually achieved by laying wood planks on the joists to prevent items from damaging insulation or dropping through to the floor below. Many sturdy flooring systems are available, and you can see plenty of ideas at http://www.dulwichloftconversions.co.uk/loft-conversions-wimbledon. Choose one based on the budget, loft floor\u2019s purpose, and personal style.\nWhen the loft is not used by people, basic covering panels are a safe option. They are sturdy, can fit through a loft access opening and support items up to 200 pounds. These grid panels are ideal under boxes, luggage and holiday decorations. Panels are made of hard plastic and do not warp with exposure to heat and moisture like wood planks. The system can be installed fairly easily by the do-it-yourselfer with nails or left loose. They will also fit comfortably between joists. The panels can also be used as steps to reach plumbing, heating and electrical controls as needed.\nWooden loft floor\nFor regular loft floor use, attach pine, maple or bamboo wooden planks to joists. They can be stained, varnished or treated with a moisture-proof finish to coordinate with other d\u00e9cor. Depending on the type chosen, this is one of the least expensive options. It can be installed by the homeowner to keep costs down. Footsteps will gravitate to the room below, so use carpeting to reduce the effects. Consider installing a plywood subfloor to make a sturdier surface.\nOnce a sturdy subfloor is in place, vinyl can be installed for a nicer finish. Whether in rolls or tiles, attaching the vinyl is fairly simple, but time-consuming for the do-it-yourselfer. Laminate will protect the vinyl from scratches, gouges and discoloration. There are a number of types, depending on the manufacturer. Some resemble wood, while others look like ceramic or stone.",

        "title": "American Presidents Blog: 19th Century American Presidents on the Mormons",
        "raw_content": "19th Century American Presidents on the Mormons\nI recently had the privilege of visiting Salt Lake City, Utah for a library conference. It was the Off-Campus Library Services Conference. I had a great time and really enjoyed visiting Utah. In addition to attending many great sessions, I presented a paper on publishing for librarians. It is in the conference proceedings already and I also hope to get the paper up on the Central Michigan University Digital Repository soon. I also visited some attractions in Salt Lake City such as Temple Square.\nIn the 19th century, the Mormon church was very controversial in the United States. As this is the American Presidents Blog, I thought I would take advantage of this trip to reflect on some past presidential speeches which referenced the Mormons.\n1. James Buchanan First State of the Union 1857. \"The people of Utah almost exclusively belong to this church, and believing with a fanatical spirit that he is governor of the Territory by divine appointment, they obey his commands as if these were direct revelations from Heaven. If, therefore, he chooses that his government shall come into collision with the Government of the United States, the members of the Mormon Church will yield implicit obedience to his will. Unfortunately, existing facts leave but little doubt that such is his determination. Without entering upon a minute history of occurrences, it is sufficient to say that all the officers of the United States, judicial and executive, with the single exception of two Indian agents, have found it necessary for their own personal safety to withdraw from the Territory, and there no longer remains any government in Utah but the despotism of Brigham Young. This being the condition of affairs in the Territory, I could not mistake the path of duty. As Chief Executive Magistrate I was bound to restore the supremacy of the Constitution and laws within its limits. In order to effect this purpose, I appointed a new governor and other Federal officers for Utah and sent with them a military force for their protection and to aid as a posse comitatus in case of need in the execution of the laws.\"\n2. Rutherford B. Hayes State of the Union Address 1880. \"The power of Congress to enact suitable laws to protect the Territories is ample. It is not a case for halfway measures. The political power of the Mormon sect is increasing. It controls now one of our wealthiest and most populous Territories. It is extending steadily into other Territories. Wherever it goes it establishes polygamy and sectarian political power. The sanctity of marriage and the family relation are the corner stone of our American society and civilization. Religious liberty and the separation of church and state are among the elementary ideas of free institutions. To reestablish the interests and principles which polygamy and Mormonism have imperiled, and to fully reopen to intelligent and virtuous immigrants of all creeds that part of our domain which has been in a great degree closed to general immigration by intolerant and immoral institutions, it is recommended that the government of the Territory of Utah be reorganized. \"\n3. Inaugural Address of James A. Garfield 1881. \"The Constitution guarantees absolute religious freedom. Congress is prohibited from making any law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. The Territories of the United States are subject to the direct legislative authority of Congress, and hence the General Government is responsible for any violation of the Constitution in any of them. It is therefore a reproach to the Government that in the most populous of the Territories the constitutional guaranty is not enjoyed by the people and the authority of Congress is set at naught. The Mormon Church not only offends the moral sense of manhood by sanctioning polygamy, but prevents the administration of justice through ordinary instrumentalities of law.\"\n4. Chester A. Arthur State of the Union Address 1881. \"The fact that adherents of the Mormon Church, which rests upon polygamy as its corner stone, have recently been peopling in large numbers Idaho, Arizona, and other of our Western Territories is well calculated to excite the liveliest interest and apprehension. It imposes upon Congress and the Executive the duty of arraying against this barbarous system all the power which under the Constitution and the law they can wield for its destruction. Reference has been already made to the obstacles which the United States officers have encountered in their efforts to punish violations of law. Prominent among these obstacles is the difficulty of procuring legal evidence sufficient to warrant a conviction even in the case of the most notorious offenders.\"\nAnd not to be all negative,\n5. Benjamin Harrison State of the Union Address 1890. \"The increasing numbers and influence of the non-Mormon population of Utah are observed with satisfaction. The recent letter of Wilford Woodruff, president of the Mormon Church, in which he advised his people 'to refrain from contracting any marriage forbidden by the laws of the land,' has attracted wide attention, and it is hoped that its influence will be highly beneficial in restraining infractions of the laws of the United States. But the fact should not be overlooked that the doctrine or belief of the church that polygamous marriages are rightful and supported by divine revelation remains unchanged. President Woodruff does not renounce the doctrine, but refrains from teaching it, and advises against the practice of it because the law is against it. Now, it is quite true that the law should not attempt to deal with the faith or belief of anyone; but it is quite another thing, and the only safe thing, so to deal with the Territory of Utah as that those who believe polygamy to be rightful shall not have the power to make it lawful.\"\nObviously, as indicated by the quotes above, the Mormon Church was very controversial in the 19th century in the opinion of many American Presidents. Things have changed a great deal. 20th and 21st century Presidents have not invoked negative images of Mormons in their speeches. And Governor Romney's recent run for President shows a great deal of acceptance for this home grown American church.\nLabels: Benjamin Harrison, Chester Arthur, James A.

In many cases, the exact outcome of things will be up in the air; however, it is a good idea to learn about the different possibilities that might occur. We know that you want as much information as you can get and we are here to help you find the answers you need.\nIn many cases, child custody cases can be resolved through mediation. For many parents, this is preferable because you and your ex can decide on each point. Since you and your ex know your child, you can make decisions based on that knowledge. We will help you to understand the issues that must be covered, as well as the options that you have for handling each issue.\nThere are some cases that won't be able to be resolved through mediation. In these cases, we get your case ready for trial. This can be a complex undertaking, but we will work with you to prepare. We aren't going to leave you on your own to face your ex in court.\nNo matter how a child custody case is decided, it is important that we keep the focus on the child. You should think carefully about how each decision you make will affect your child so that you can make sure you are making the decisions that you feel are best. It is all too easy to let emotions rule; however, allowing this to happen could make your child custody case even more difficult to deal with.",

        "raw_content": "Things to Consider for Your Salesforce Implementation\nThings to Consider for Your Salesforce Implementation If you are rolling out Salesforce for your company you might be interested in how a consultant might approach a typical implementation. http://www.arkusinc.com/archive/2013/things-to-consider-for-your-salesforce-implementation http://www.arkusinc.com/archive/2013/things-to-consider-for-your-salesforce-implementation/@@download/image/images.png\nCollaboration, Consulting, Project Management\nI\u2019ve worked on many Salesforce implementations for many types of businesses and clients, here is what I have found is a pretty good recipe for implementation success. In this post I will discuss the various aspects of an implementation and things to consider if you are either embarking on a Salesforce project or are engaged in one now. While not all implementations are the same - clients, business processes, and project complexity can vary wildly - the \u201cingredients\u201d listed below seem to work fairly well for a decent amount of small to medium size projects. (If you are an enterprise client with 1000+ users, you can stop reading now). Here is a high-level look at what your implementation might include.\nHire a Consultant or Take a Stab at it Internally?\nSalesforce\u2019s \u201cclicks not code\u201d configuration can often get people into trouble. It\u2019s easier to engage a consultant as soon as (or even before) you secure your Salesforce licenses. A mistake companies/organizations often make when using Salesforce for the first time is thinking they can just \u201cturn it on\u201d and start using it out of the box. Technically, that\u2019s true - you could just login for the first time and start using the standard functionality. However, I don\u2019t recommend it and here\u2019s why:\nI\u2019ve never met a company/org big or small that has such a generic business process that it can be met without any customizations.\nPeople often think they can start using the basic features and then, at a later point in time, engage a consultant when they\u2019ve hit some limitation or need a custom feature. I can tell you, as a consultant, it is much more difficult and time-consuming (i.e., \u201cexpensive\u201d), to fix a system that has been modified on an ad-hoc basis by an inexperienced admin then it is to do an implementation from scratch.\nIf you roll out a system to users that isn\u2019t ready and will need to be overhauled in a few short months, you\u2019ll lose the buy-in and confidence of your users. Regaining their trust is no easy feat.\nAs mentioned above, we recommend you engage an implementation consulting firm to discuss your business requirements. They will spend some time to understand your high-level needs and generate a scope of work. This will give you a sense of how much customization you\u2019re process requires. To find an implementation partner ask your Salesforce Account Executive, search on the AppExchange (*consider reviews), or just call Arkus (wink wink). Some partners specialize in different industries or verticals, so you\u2019re better off with a consultant who has experience with companies similar to yours so that they can tell you how your competitors are leveraging the tool.\nYou\u2019ll also want to get executive buy-in early on and you\u2019ll want to put together an internal implementation team. The people on this team should be the most knowledgeable people about the day to day goings on of their business unit or department. This is very rarely the senior level people - what you want is the person who really knows the step by step process for the individual tasks. That\u2019s not to say you don\u2019t want executive leadership to share the vision of your desired future state, but high-level views are helpful to a point. This will make more sense when we dive into the next section - the requirements gathering.\nDiscovery Session(s) and Design\nThese sessions usually get the project rolling. You\u2019ll hear Salesforce Consultants call these sessions different things - Discovery Sessions, Kickoff Meetings, Requirements Gathering - at the end of the day, they are the same thing: understanding the companies business processes. As I mentioned above, not everything I discuss in this blog post will need to happen on every project, but *every* project should have a discovery session! This is where your consultant - if they\u2019re good - will take off their Salesforce tech hat and put on their business analyst hat. These sessions typically involve the consultant(s) meeting with a member(s) of the different departments who will be using Salesforce and diving into the \u201cday in the life of\u201d to understand what it is the users do, how they do it, what they need to report on, what security is required, etc. At the end of these meetings, you should a pretty good idea of the system requirements and desired workflow.\nOnce the functional requirements are captured the data model and general design will be laid out. This is where your project may go in two different directions. Sometimes a project requires the design to be documented outside of Salesforce, agreed upon, and then built. Other times you can start building directly in Salesforce and make adjustments to the model as needed. Both of these options work depending on the complexity of the business process, the timeline, and the consultants preferred method.\nBuilding and Testing Your Salesforce Environment\nSalesforce implementations are very iterative in nature. This means you\u2019ll be shown several versions throughout the project and you\u2019ll have a chance to test and provide feedback that will inform the next round of changes.\nWe recommend that you opt for simplicity in the initial rollout. Your consultant should help you understand when to build something custom, use a 3rd party tool, or hold off on a requested feature. As I mentioned before, Salesforce is a very iterative tool - it will evolve over time, way beyond your initial implementation so start simple. Let users use the system and, after using it for a while, if they demand extra features, then consider it.\nData Migration and Reporting and Analytics\nData migration is a necessary step to rolling out Salesforce and can often be the most tedious and time-consuming deliverable for all parties involved. Historical data - clean historical data - migrated from your old system to Salesforce is one of the ways to ensure user adoption. However, it can often be a process of exporting from your legacy system or aggregating spreadsheets and other \u201ctracking documents\u201d, and mapping that data to the new Salesforce data model. You\u2019ll need to decide how much historical data you want to migrate and whether the state of the data is decent enough to be valuable to your users. Next, you\u2019ll need to decide if you want to have your consultant do the cleanup and mapping, or if this is something you want to take on internally.\nBecause you own your data and know it intimately, it often makes sense for you to attempt the first pass at cleaning it up before passing it to your consultant. Often migration templates - an export of your Salesforce schema in an excel format - are helpful in guiding the cleanup and mapping. Once the data is mapped, the consultant will load the data and have you do a thorough review to confirm everything was loaded to the proper place.\nReporting and Analytics are an essential part of viewing the data you\u2019ve just loaded in a meaningful way. While the drag and drop reporting wizard is a powerful and easy to use tool within Salesforce, it can be one of the last things users feel comfortable with. So, having a library of pre-built reports and dashboards that users can access as they learn the system is a good idea.\nTraining is often done over more than one session, as it is impossible to cover all of the functionality useful to the users while keeping the session duration at a length that keeps the users engaged and not overwhelmed. I have found the most effective trainings are ones where the users themselves are moving the mouse themselves. This means a computer lab is required, or a conference room and individual laptops for each \u201cstudent\u201d so they can navigate the interface themselves. However, this is often not possible and not always necessary. A follow-up training some weeks after the initial trainings is a best practice. After the initial rollout, instruct users to document their questions, requests, feedback and address them at a training or \u201clab hours\u201d session at a later date.\nAfter training, you might have \u201cburn in support\u201d or a service contract for additional hours of support post deployment. That is often a good idea, at least for the first few months and especially if you do not have an in-house system admin. But, if not, at this point your users should be on the platform and the implementation complete. Although, as I mentioned before, the evolution of Salesforce is never \u201ccomplete\u201d. You will continue to tweak the configuration as using provide feedback and you\u2019ll most likely add those extra bells and whistles.\nIf you have questions about your implementation or are considering embarking on this type of project, feel free to share them in the comments below in Discuss, on our Facebook page, or tweet them to me @StaciRiceNYC.\nHow Salesforce Developers can Make a Salesforce Admin's Life Easier\n\u00ab Previous: The State of Support - Episode #129 of CloudFocus Weekly\nNext: Top 10 AppExchange Apps - Episode #155 - CloudFocus Weekly \u00bb",

        "raw_content": "ASEF Education Policy Conference Series 2018\n(in cooperation with partners)\nthroughout 2018 Reka TOZSA Education Department ASEF Higher Education Programme (AHEP) Education\nViet Nam, United Kingdom\nASEF\u2019s Education Policy Conference Series address needs and recommendations identified through ASEF\u2019s long-term education project series, for example, the ASEF Rectors\u2019 Conference and Students\u2019 Forum (ARC) and the ASEF Classroom Network Conference (ASEF ClassNet). ASEF is cooperating with educational partners in organising these conventions, and contributies or complements their existing conference initiatives with an Asia-Europe perspective.\nWHAT IS ON THE AGENDA IN 2018/2019?\nIn 2018/2019 ASEF supports the following initiatives in the framework of ASEF Education Policy Conference Series:\nFlexible Learning Pathways: Asia-Europe Conference on Lifelong Learning and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development\n13-14 December 2018, Hanoi, Viet Nam\nAcknowledging the importance of Asia-Europe level exchange of practices, ASEF, the Ministry of Education and Training of Viet Nam and Hanoi Open University organize this conference to contribute to the Incheon Declaration \u201cEducation 2030: Towards inclusive and equitable quality education and lifelong learning for all\u201d and the Asia-Europe (ASEM) Education Process.\nThe main goal of the event is to foster ASEM cooperation in achieving the UN\u2019s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, especially Goal 4. Quality Education, by promoting regional cooperation and sharing best practices on lifelong learning. The topic \u201cflexible learning pathways\u2019 is examining how could traditional education systems adapt to the needs of economy and society from 3 angles:\n\u2022 Flexibilisation of degrees \u2022 Flexibilisation of curricula and of learning content \u2022 Flexibilisation of methodology and learning design\nThe conference is designed to host about 60-70 participants from the international and Vietnamese expert community, including academics, researcher, government officials, and policy-makers. The outcome of the conference will feed into the 7th ASEM Education Ministers\u2019 Meeting (ASEMME7) by proposing policy recommendations at cross-regional level to strengthen lifelong learning policies and practices in ASEM countries.\nThe conference builds on the outcomes of the 6th ASEF Rectors\u2019 Conference and Student\u2019s Forum in Singapore, 12-13 October 2017 and the ASEM Conference on Innovative Education and Human Resource Building for Sustainable Development in Hue, Viet Nam, 29-31 March 2017; and the 4th Asia-Pacific Meeting on Education 2030 (APMED4).\nThe 1st World Access to Higher Education Day\n28 November 2018, Birmingham, UK\nThe Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF) is supporting the initiative of the National Education Opportunities Network (NEON) \u2013 the professional organisation for widening access to higher education (HE) in the United Kingdom \u2013 to establish an annual World Access to Higher Education Day (WAHED). The main goal of the initiative is to focus the attention of stakeholders from across the world on the issues of access and diversity in higher education, modelled on other international commemoration days.\nASEF is contributing to the 1st WAHED Conference by organizing a break out session titled \u201cChallenges and pathways to access in higher education in Asia\u201d. This session will explore how higher education is growing in certain Asian countries and how leading universities are coping with a new type of diversity of students. The session explores questions like what strategies universities have to measure merit and provide access to students from lower socio-economic background, minority groups, or those with special needs? How do teaching and learning environments adopt and make use of diversity? How does this affect social impact and sustainability? The main goal of this session is to help participants discover similarities and differences between Asian and European good practices and inspire collaborative solutions.\nThis session in a good opportunity to promote \u201cAccess to Quality Education\u201d topics discussed at the 6th ASEF Rectors\u2019 Conference and Students\u2019 Forum (ARC6);in Singapore, 12-13 October 2017; and promote the Policy Recommendations regarding Access to Quality education.\nRead more on the WAHED initiative and kick-off conference HERE .\nAcknowledging the importance on Asia-Europe level exchange of practices, ASEF, the Ministry of Education of Viet Nam and Hanoi Open University organize this conference to contribute to the Incheon Declaration \u201cEducation 2030: Towards inclusive and equitable quality education and lifelong learning for all\u201d.\nThis conference aims at engaging people from Asia and Europe and promote Exchange of information, practices, institutional policies, relevant research at national, regional and international level. The topic \u201cflexible learning pathways\u201d is examining how could traditional education systems adapt to the needs of economy from 3 angels:\nFlexibilisation of degrees: Recognition of informal and non-formal education/learning and prior learning as credits within degree programs, enabling learners to accumulate learning, experiences and qualifications through flexible participation at different stages.\nFlexibilisation of curricula and of learning content: Meeting the needs of non-traditional learners in their various life contexts (adult retraining, skills upgrading, dropouts, women and mothers, etc.), and design responsive learning programmes to their demands.\nFexibilisation of methodology and learning design: Offering self-organised learning programmes in various forms, adopting learner-centred pedagogy, supported by information and communication technology (ICT) and open educational resources.\nAdd value to the ASEM Education Process by contributing to theory & practice-based activities connected with ASEF Education flagship projects, linking our focus areas of lifelong learning, sustainability and access to education\nReinforce the multi-stakeholder approach of the ASEM Education Process by engaging education leaders and practitioners, academics, IOs and NGOs, national governments, business and industry experts in education policy dialogues\nStrengthen the existing LLL network between Asia and Europe and expand it by attracting new members and partners, including from business and industry\nPromote the importance of LLL as part of SDG4 across the ASEM constituency and provide good practices for their wider implementation\nMinistry of Education and Training (Viet Nam)\nhttps://moet.gov.vn\nHanoi Open University (HOU)\nhttp://en.hou.edu.vn/\nASEFEdu Contributing to the World Access to Higher Education Day (WAHED)\nOpportunities and success in higher education are too often related to the socio-economic background of a student. Acquiring the appropriate credentials to enter a University often remains to be subject to the financial situation of a student (OECD, 2018), and in over 90% of countries in the world we have evidence of inequalities in participation in higher education by social background (University World News, 2018).\nASEFedu primarily focuses on the topic of access to education and youth employment, through facilitating and encouraging activities and actions in the field of HE. In line with this mission ASEFEdu partnered with the National Education Opportunities Network (NEON) in the UK the establish an annual World Access to Higher Education Day (WAHED).\nWAHED is aspiring to grow to a global movement, modelled on other international commemoration days. For the past 18 months WAHED has been greatly discussed in several forums such as the 2016 and 2017 British Council Going Global Conference reaching over 100 organisations from across the world. The first action on this path is to organise a kick-off conference on 28 November 2018 at Aston University, Birmingham, UK, with a strong focus on raising global awareness around inequalities in access and success in HE. ASEFedu\u2019s partnership with NEON is realised through the organisation of a break out session titled \u201cChallenges and pathways to access in higher education in Asia\u201d. The session is exploring how higher education is growing in certain Asian countries and how leading universities are coping with students from unusual backgrounds. Ultimately, the session aims to identify similarities and discover differences between Asian and European good practices and inspire collaborative solutions.\nWAHED welcomes institutions and organisations to engage in awareness raising events on 28th November 2018 and therewith contribute to the mission. Additionally, scientific contributions are welcomed, and students are invited to raise their voices by sharing their stories on the matter.

        "raw_content": "About Aur\u00e9lia\nAur\u00e9lia previously known as Jennifer Zulli is an award winning new age recording artist, composer, pianist, singer, educator and conductor. A mystical momma of two young children she loves spending time in the forest, close to nature and animals and is an advocate for the protection of our Earth Mother, creative education for children and the empowerment of the divine feminine. Aurelia is a Usui Reiki Master, a priestess and uses the extraordinary power of sound and energy in her work.\nAur\u00e9lia has had a deep love of music, a fascination with energy, and passion for learning for as long as she can remember. At the age of five, she started studying classical piano, and by seven years old she began composing her own pieces which brought her an amazing sense of freedom and a profound passion to express herself through composition and performance.\nJennifer Aur\u00e9lia studied classical and contemporary voice and piano and received a four year music scholarship to study music and education. She received her BA in Music Education and soon after started teaching music in the NYS public school system. Jennifer continued her studies in Manhattenville College & The Julliard School, and later received her Masters of Science in Music and Education in Western Connecticut State University. She continued her post graduate studies in World Music, Orff Shulwork, but focused most of her attention on Dalcroze (a mind, body, spirit) based pedagogy.\nIn 2007 Aur\u00e9lia was diagnososed with a deadly combination of an Erlichiosis infection, chronic Lyme Disease and Mononucleosis 7 months after her first daughter was born via a medically induced cesarean.\nIt was then that her life was changed forever. Not only was she a new mother, she was traveling to more doctors than she can recall just to hear them tell her that the myriad of symptoms (i.e. neurological symptoms, chronic joint and muscle pain, lethargy, ear/eye pain, headaches and many other seemingly unrelated symptoms) were all in her head, or caused by postpartum depression. After seven months of dealing with the pain and suffering brought unknowingly on by a combination of tick infections, Aurelia started meditation as a means to deal with her pain and illness. She then found a MD who was willing to treat her as if she had Lyme regardless of what the blood tests said. Her diagnosis finally came back and it was confirmed cases of chronic and acute Lyme disease, a rare and fatal tick borne co-infection called Erlichiosis, Epstein Barr Virus and Mononucleosis. She had a lot of healing to do on the emotional, physical and spiritual planes but her long road to recovery and healing finally began.\nIn 2007 she introduced meditation into her music classroom as an additional way of guiding her students to help them relax, focus, connect to themselves, create, and tune into each other and the music on a deeper level. The benefits were extraordinary.\nShe started to feel alive again after so many years of being asleep. As her awakening continued her sensitivities to energies unfolded. Her intuition exploded and the gifts of clairvoyance and clear empathic intuition presented themselves daily. She started to remember that she saw and felt beings and energy as a child, but suppressed those gifts due to fear. Aur\u00e9lia started researching works on meditation, sound healing, magic, the metaphysical and great ancient mystics. It was at that point that Jennifer started composing music again and for the first time in many years and she felt her purpose and passion were somehow linked. Music- for the purpose of healing, raising consciousness, sacred truth.\nIn 2009, she released Diamon a long overdue CD about the awakening experience that a chronic disease can have. In that year she won VH1 song of the year and placed in ISC International songwriting competition.\n\"Opening\" soon followed. Aur\u00e9lia's main mission has been to be true to herself; to follow her true heart\u2019s desire while allowing herself to continue to evolve and awaken to the Divine essence within.\nOn December 15, 2012, Jennifer opened SOUND ( A Center for Arts & Mindfulness) in Newtown, CT. SOUND is a center that focuses and nurtures the arts and spiritual awareness for conscious evolution. Located in a historic 1800's old Chapel in Newtown, Sound provides a sacred space and energy for awakening the human spirit through positive experiences in the healing and creative arts. SOUND's mission is to hold the space for exploring and connecting to each other and our truest Self.\nHer albums \"Opening\" 2011 and \"Earth Lullaby\" 2012 continue to be played internationally and nationally on Sirius/XM Radio and other radio staions.\nJennifer's 2014 release \"Goddess Rising\" has been recorded in 432hz (the light frequency) and has captured audiences from around the globe. Beautiful Sacred Sounds of tuning forks, lush melodies on the piano, sacred texts and her etherial voice make for a unique musical and healing experience. Goddess Rising features the brilliant artwork of English Fantasy Artist Josephine Wall.\nAur\u00e9lia loves spending time with her two beautiful children, hiking in the woods, reading rich deep mystical and sacred texts, dancing (anywhere), she enjoys beautiful healthy food, wine, chocolate and laughs as much as she can. Aur\u00e9lia loves how the natural wild woman has awakened inside her and encourages women in her classes and workshops to get back to their natural feminine intuitive essence.\nAur\u00e9lia's upcoming CD \"SEASONS\" also recorded in 432hz (the frequency of light) will be released in 2018. This 12 song cycle traces a soul's journey through the seasons and its alignment with our human phases of birth, love, life, letting go and transformation. A combination of electronic, chill, ambient, world & earthy grounding power with her added signature voice, SEASONS is unlike any other album by Aur\u00e9lia. Reflecting a light warrior spirit, the Divine Feminine essence and the call to the wild woman inside to usher in the rebirth and transformation of consciousness and our natural connection to the earth and each other.",

        "raw_content": "How would you feel if you left your shiny new car parked next to a skyscraper on to discover several hours after that the said skyscraper had played a goldsmith by melting it? That\u2019s the story of Mr Martin Linsday whose Jaguar was parked in front of a newly built 37-storey skyscraper only to find out the car had been melted from converging sunlight from the skyscraper.\nThe skyscraper which is dubbed \u201cWalkie Talkie\u201d because of its distinct appearance has a bend in its Fa\u00e7ade that allows the edifice act like some sort of converging mirror. The street facing the building is on the receiving end of the sunlight usually converged up to 70 degree Celsius.\nPoor Mr Martin who had no idea what fate had in store for him had then parked his car that morning only to return to its ruins. The story about \u201chis accident\u201d is quite interesting to note. It\u2019s said that a photographer who was taking a stroll near the area spotted the car \u2018melting\u2019 and casually asked a stranger standing on the footpath if \u201che had seen that car,\u201d adding that \u201cthe owner won\u2019t be happy.\u201d The interesting thing is that the stranger was the owner and he reportedly replied: \u201cI am the owner and that\u2019s pretty awful.\u201d There was also a note tucked under the car\u2019s wiper on the windscreen from the skyscraper construction company informing the car owner about the fate of his car and asking that he gave them a call.\nThe incident paved the way for a debate on the sustainability of this magnificent edifice design seeing that it has started affecting the lives of people walking on the street. Reaching up to 80 degree Celsius, the temperature from the convergence could easily cause severe burns to a passerby. This has made the construction company go to work on revamping the design to be less dangerous.\nPrevious article10 Cars You Really Don\u2019t Want To Buy Insurance For\nNext articleSteps to Safely Drain Your Gas Tank",

        "title": "AYVP Malaysia 2013 - ASEAN Youth Volunteer Programme (AYVP)ASEAN Youth Volunteer Programme (AYVP)",
        "raw_content": "20 September 2013 \u2013\u201dWe must remember how important our roles are, no matter how small.\u201d says 21 year old Quek Yew Aun a Malaysian university student.\nQuek\u2019s words sums up the essence of the inaugural programme by the ASEAN Youth Volunteer Programme (AYVP) at AsiaEngage, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia as it draws to a close. He is among the ASEAN Youth Eco-Leaders selected from across ASEAN to be part of the intensive 5 week event that will in turn produce environmental leaders when they return to their communities. The programme is made possible thanks to the support and partnership with the Malaysian Ministry of Youth and Sports, the ASEAN Secretariat and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).\nThe volunteers, or Eco-Leaders, come from diverse backgrounds and sectors. While some are university students, eager to learn more about environmental conservation, others are working professionals looking at implementing environmental policies that can alleviate real-world environmental problems that they face back home. All of them are passionate about bringing positive environmental change in the ASEAN region. With ages spanning between 18 and 30, the youths are the kind of energetic force needed in the region, at a time where most remain cynical about environmental transformation.\nRecruitment for the Eco-Leaders began early April 2013, and the youths were carefully selected based on their expertise and passion towards the environment. The programme commenced on the 15th of August 2013, with their first week spent on the UKM Bangi campus getting to know each other and equipping themselves with knowledge as well as personal and professional skills. This is necessary, as the Eco-Leaders were then divided into four groups, and assigned to four bio-diversity sites in Malaysia where they would work with local communities and implement environmental education and other sustainable initiatives.\nThe four bio-diversity sites were Mersing, Johor, Kampung Dew, Perak, Setiu, Terengganu and Kuala Selangor Nature Park, Selangor.\nEco-Leaders assigned to Mersing, Johor launched a coastal community recycling program at 3 different villages, i.e. Kampung Penyabong, Kampung Tanjung Resang and Kampung Air Papan. They pioneered an environmental audit of the touristic beach, which became basis for awareness campaigns directed at the locals, especially school children. Among the sustainable initiatives they put in place were community-based buy-back centres which they constructed from scratch, as well as methods of arts and crafts that turn \u201ctrash into cash.\u201d\nIn Kampung Dew, Perak, Eco-Leaders supported existing community livelihood in the form of eco-tourism, coupled with forest firefly habitat conservation. Unique to this group is their level of immersion with the locals, while they stayed in the homes of foster families during their entire volunteerism stint. They worked collaboratively in 2 groups in hopes of enhancing the natural surroundings of the jetty area, training local tour guides with basic language lessons and producing information, education and communication (IEC) materials such as pamphlets and websites.\nIn Setiu, Terengganu, Eco-Leaders worked towards rehabilitation of the original conditions of its eco-system. They documented the rich biodiversity found in the river, engaged in tree planting initiatives and organised clean-ups by the beach shore, river banks and in the mangrove nursery. Together with the local community, they also partook in knowledge-sharing with micro-entrepreneurs of Pengusaha Wanita Setiu (PEWANIS) who taught them how to make traditional lekar (craft) and kerepek pisang (banana chips), as well as students of the Universiti Malaysia Terangganu in a collaborative event known as Program Mari Berbudaya di Setiu, or the Setiu Culture Day.\nAt the Kuala Selangor Nature Park (KSNP), Eco-Leaders experienced first-hand how the park is managed by the Malaysian Nature Society (MNS). The Eco-Leaders attended several study visits and exhibits which focused on wetlands conservation in the region, and worldwide. These aided them in organising a public event on the Ramsar Convention as well as several Environmental Education (EE) activities with park visitors which, in turn, empowered locals to share in the responsibility of sustaining the environment. Among the other activities they engaged in were the rehabilitation and planting of mangrove trees, water birds sensoring, and cockle harvesting.\nEach bio-diversity site gave the Eco-Leaders a unique experience that they can apply back at their own community. Tram Hee, from Vietnam and a journalist by trade, exclaims that the experience gained during the programme has been immense. \u201cAYVP gave me a lot of new experiences. If I didn\u2019t join the Programme, I wouldn\u2019t have a chance to do them.\u201d\nAfter 3 weeks away, they came together for a week of sharing of knowledge and experiences gained at the biodiversity sites. The volunteers processed the different experiences and learning they had at the sites to work on their project reports which showcased these experiences and its impact on the volunteers and the communities. The culmination of the five weeks is the Grand Celebration that brings together the volunteers with partners and other stakeholders to showcase the learning, the culture, the song and dances of various countries and communities across ASEAN.\nAccording to Prof. Dato\u2019 Dr. Saran Kaur Gill, Deputy Vice-Chancellor for UKM\u2019s Industry & Community Partnerships office and Executive Director of [email protected], knowledge-driven Community Engaged projects that are being championed by AYVP provides invaluable opportunities for volunteers to make relevant and apply theoretical knowledge to meet real world needs. \u201cThis journey requires the volunteers to expand upon multi-disciplinary knowledge, be organised, disciplined and committed, to work in teams, understand the needs of others and respect different cultures, and empower communities as well as learn from them.\u201d\nEven though the Eco-Leaders already back to their home countries, but the close bond formed among them is evident, and they plan to continue their friendship even when they have been separated by land and sea especially being the internet-savvy generation that they are. The entire group now peruses the AYVPUKM Facebook page to keep in touch with each other, and to keep their new found friends updated on the environmental initiatives that they plan to execute back home.",

        "title": "Origin of khaki military dress | History of Pashtuns",
        "raw_content": "Origin of khaki military dress\nThe bare heights of the Khyber Pass loom brown and arid under the burning blue skies of Pakistan and the Afghanistan border. An occasional old fortress, built to command the pass, blends naturally into the barren hillsides. It was this dangerous, dust-coloured landscape which in 1848 presented a particular problem to Sir Harry Lumsden, a young British officer with the army in India. Sir Harry had been ordered to raise a special regiment to deal with frontier troubles and tribal raids, as part of the Punjab Frontier Force Brigade. This he had done, forming the famous Corps of Guides. But Sir Harry\u2019s men all wore the traditional scarlet of British soldiers. In their conspicuous uniforms, Sir Harry realized, they would stand little chance of survival against tribal snipers hidden among the dusty hills. Already British Redcoats had proved themselves an easy target for sharpshooters in the American War of Independence. Here they would find even less chance of cover. Sir Harry decided to abandon the scarlet coats. Instead he put his men \u2013 mostly Pathans and Punjabis \u2013 into cloth dyed the same colour as the landscape. Berries or mud were used, and the regiment had its own dyers to do the job \u2013 for which each soldier contributed a small sum monthly from his pay. The soldiers called the cloth \u201ckhaki,\u201d from the Urdu word khak, or dust. The idea was highly successful. During the Indian Mutiny (1857-8), it spread to other British troops fighting engagements in sandy country. It was used during the Second Afghan War (1878-80), and by 1880 had been adopted by all British regiments in India, who now retained scarlet only for their full, ceremonial dress. Britain\u2019s redcoats met with disaster in South Africa during the Boer War of 1899-1902. In their scarlet uniforms and white helmets, they stood little chance against the Boers, who soon picked them off with long rifles. So here, too, the British adopted a form of khaki uniform. By 1900, khaki had been adopted for service-wear in Europe too, and by the beginning of the first World War in 1914, scarlet was worn only as ceremonial dress, whether on European or colonial army service. Gradually other nations changed over to similar \u201ccamouflage\u201d uniforms, until the word \u201ckhaki\u201d has come to mean battledress anywhere in the world that blends in with a brown or greenish landscape.\nSource: http://www.lookandlearn.com/blog/23396/how-khaki-eclipsed-the-splendours-of-coloured-battledress/",

        "title": "The Doctrine of Sovereignty",
        "raw_content": "the doctrine of sovereignty\nSovereignty is the right and the accompanying power of someone or something to rule or to govern without any outside pressure or interference.\nAs we will see later on in the course of this study, that although the sovereignty of the state is sanctioned in Scripture (Romans 13), the sovereignty of the state is conditionally delegated by and remains to be subject to the absolute divine sovereignty of God (John 19: 11). The power of the state can do nothing that God , through His permissive will, does not at least allow to take place. ALL that God allows to take place ultimately serves a divine purpose, even though many times we are unable to perceive it at the time. There is no military force or national security organization (domestic or foreign) that can advance unless God so decrees (Psalms 27/Psalms 127: 1).\nA declining economy, ungodly leadership, natural disasters, and impotence on the battlefield(s) are all manifestations of divine discipline being imposed by God on a wayward or backsliding nation. There has never been, nor will there ever be, a military force on Earth that God did not or will not be put in its place when the divine order called for it. History is replete with examples of relatively small and weak armies either defeating its enemy or eluded the grasp of over-whelming military forces opposing them.\nGod imposes various degrees of national divine discipline, with each new level resulting in more serious temporal consequences (Leviticus 26) than the previous one. The maxim form of national discipline being the temporary or permanent removal from the Community of nations as an independent, sovereign nation.\nAs the Creator of the universe, God is sovereign over all that He created for His own glory. As God, He is free to do anything that He pleases that is in keeping with HIs own character and nature, word, and agenda. Man was not created for God to glorify him. Man was created to glorify God in the midst of an ongoing conflict taking place in the spiritual realm that began BEFORE the creation of Man.\nGod has used the actions of both godly and ungodly individuals and nations to inevitably fulfill HIs will. The timing of the rise, degree of influence, decline, or fall of ANY nation is in the hands of God (Acts 17: 26), with each one knowingly or unwittingly playing its role.\nOld (Books of Daniel/Isiah) and New Testament (The Gospels/Epistles) prophecies (many already fulfilled and some still pending) shed some light on the identity and activity of the major empires and nations that has brought us to the point of history in which we are now living, and portray the national and international events that will bring us to the Second Advent (Return of Christ). Additional prophecies in the Book of Revelation have shed some light on what God has planned for the future of the human race. These events, some horrific and some glorious, are not events that might happen, but are events that have happened, are happening, and will happen in accordance with divine timing.\nThe sovereignty of the state is established and exercised via the various forms of secular government, such as a theocracy, a monarchy, a dictatorship, a democratic republic, a confederacy, etc.. The populace of a nation under ANY of these forms of government can be blessed or cursed as a result of the free-will decisions made by those in positions of authority. Godly (national) living brings about godly blessing, and ungodly (national) living brings about godly national discipline. NO nation is free from \"any\" outside pressure when that \"outside\" pressure is God. National sovereignty is a delegated authority and is subject to the ultimate and absolute sovereignty of God.\nUntil the New Heavens and the New Earth are established (Rev. 22), there will always be a degree of evil (and its consequences) on the individual, national, and international level. It is the presence of godly people within any given nation that largely preserves its security (Gen 18: 23-32). It is by no coincidence that the fall or decline of the great (humanly speaking) nations and empires of human history was preceded by a general disregard for God and the things of God on the part of its leadership and much of the population of the empires or nations involved.\nWhen a government (or the majority of the people being governed) ask for outside help to assistance from other nation(s) to retain or establish a new sovereign government,, those being asked are faced with difficult choices. In truth, how much \"interest\" in the hardships of other nations is often weighed on the scales of self-interests to see if the assistance is worth the investment. Such SELF interests include the impact on one's own economy, access to natural resources, and political posturing as the super-powers jockey for position and compete for world dominance and influence.\nMoral, social, racial, and humanitarian \"concerns\" is often no more than a smoke screen to conceal the real agenda while garnering public support in nations where public support is an issue with the governing authority. Public opinion in in the USA is high on the list of concerns for politicians, whereas public opinion under some other forms of government throughout the world's community of nations is of little (if any) concern. Expressing opions contrary to the official position of the state can cost one his head in many parts of the world.\nThe insanity of using weapons of mass destruction on a global scale in a nuclear exchange has redefined the tactics of modern day warfare, as well as turning the traditional balance of power on its head. Having the biggest guns, when the use of them would be an act of insanity, is relatively meaningless, dangerous, and even suicidal. Even if the military has the means to take out or neutralize the existing government of a \"hostile\" nation with minimal collateral destruction to the nation itself, the resulting internal chaos can give birth to a more dangerous situation than what was in place before the war, as competing factions struggle to be the new king of the hill. Such factions will take all the assistance they can garner to remove an existing government, but totally reject outside interference when it comes time to establish the new.\nHistory has shown over and over again that the conclusion of many wars only serve to set the stage for the next.\nThe practical inability to make use of weapons of mass destruction for fear of triggering a retaliatory response that has the capability of devastating the world as we know it to be today, has placed even the smallest of nations in a position of being a catalyst to ignite a major conflict between the world's super powers. Securing a moment of world domination would not accomplish very much if the spoils of war consists largely of a nuclear waste dump with an atmosphere that will slowly kill the \"winning\" survivors.\nA vile of bacterial weaponry that can fit into the hands of a single terrorist has the potential capability of eliminating more persons than were killed (or later died) as a result the usage of atomic weaponry that brought World War 2 to its conclusion.\nIt's a disturbing thought, but the truth is who is labeled as \"terrorist\", a \"commando\", a \"revolutionary\", or a \"patriot\" is dependent on which side of the conflict one is on and wh0 wins the war!\nHere in the dispensation of the Church Age, the Church that God designed has been called to focus on the spiritual needs that apply to every soul regardless of race, gender, or nationality.\nThe Christian Community's unauthorized partnering with secular government has proved to be disastrous throughout its history giving rise to a form of tyranny that brought the \"Church\" to some of its darkest periods of history. More modern day attempts to legislate issues of personal morality has clearly backfired, opening the door of the secular courts to adopt laws that reflect human viewpoint and reject divine viewpoint. As a result, many laws that once prohibited acts forbidden in Scripture have not only been repealed, but have gone as far as to grant those involved with protected rights and the political freedom to engage in such behaviors.\nBorn again, edified, \"Christians\" do (should) NOT need for there to be a law on the secular books requiring certain actions or prohibiting others in order to learn and apply the Word of God.\nChristians are called (Matt.. 28: 19) to be edified (Matt. 7: 24) in order to develop their own edified soul structure as a base of operations, with the long term objective of be prepared to give a Biblical answer (1 Pet. 3: 15) to spiritual and moral issues for the spiritual enlightenment of others (1 Cor. 12: 7). This need has never been greater that it is now when much of the Christian Community is filled with so much apostasy here in the End Times (2 Tim. 4: 1), and has become focused on everything else but what it was commissioned to do! In this the devil is well-pleased.\nThe principle of the coexistence between the sovereignty of the state and the sovereignty of the Church did not originate with First Admendment of the US Constitution. The Lord Jesus made this point clear in (Mark 12: 17). Scripture also endorses the payment of taxes for the support and function of secular government (Rom. 13: 6).\nMilitary service, when called to serve, is a Biblically endorsed principle dating back to the ancient world (Numbers 1: 3). God cannot endorse ANYTHING that can be legitimately be labeled sin. For Christians to reap the benefits of the secular nation in which GOD placed them, and not be willing to serve in its military is not a postion that can be Biblically substantiated.\nThe Bible (Ex. 20: 13), when accurately translated and applied as a whole, teaches that Thou shall not MURDER and not that thou shall not kill\nas some of the ENGLISH translations of Scripture would suggest. The Bible ( Eccl. 3: 3, 8 ) teaches that there are times to kill , and that there are times for war. The Bible teaches that there are times when other actions that involve killing is excusable and/or justifiable. Among them is when a death was accidental, in acts of self-defense or in the defense of others, capital punishment imposed by the state, and in the course of military or police service. Secular laws have gone to great lengths to define when a life can be taken and the one taking the life is not subject to either criminal prosecution or civil liability.\nThe divine and/or secular accountability for the taking of human life is not to be taken lightly, but there are times when doing so neither violates the laws of God or Man. Time and space do not allow for a detailed elaboration of these subjects in the course of this study, but are lessons to be studied on another day.\nThe Great Commission (Matt. 28: 19) encompasses ALL members of the human race, regardless of race, gender, social-economic status, education, or nationality. True believers, past and present, have risked life and limb to promote and maintain the TRUE Gospel Message and accurate Bible Doctrine in the face of political, social, familial, and \"relig0us\" persecution, imprisonment, forfeiture of goods, property, and martyrdom.\nSad to say, but the ONE and ONLY tangible source (The Bible) for spiritual edification that God (2 Tim. 3: 16) provided for Man does little more than collect dust in the homes of many who claim to be Christians. In many local assemblies, the Word of God and is only (at best) being passively commented on by those standing behind many pulpits, and being grossly misrepresented and applied in others. in the day and age in which we a living.\nHistory is replete with extremists in virtually every religious/political group that has come along who have self-determined to sacrifice their own lives in order to \"make a statement\" for their religious/political beliefs.\nIn the day and age in which we live, when such extremists gain access to weapons of mass destruction, there is no end (short of what God decrees) to the possibilities or the extent of harm that such persons or groups of persons can generate. This blind devotion is enhanced when those involved believe that such sacrifice will be greatly rewarded by their deity of choice! Justifying \"holy wars\" in the name of religion is NOTHING new. It has been a part of human history ever since the concept of separate nations became a reality following the separation of the people at the Tower of Babel (Gen. 11) combined with the expansion of worldly religions (Psalms 96).\nThe promise of eternal blessing in exchange for participating in the Crusades was a part of the recruitment policy of the Vatican.\nEspecially in ancient times, many wars and their outcomes were perceived to be the work of competing deities in which the various tribes or nations involved served like pawns in an international game of Chess. While promoting the concept of their being only of ONE true God, the outcome of any war being in the hands of God is not a foreign concept to Christian doctrine based on such passages as Acts 17: 26.\nAccording to the common beliefs of the ancient world, wars or battles could be lost if the inferior \"god(s)\" of the losers was either lacking in power, or if it/they allowed the defeat of their people as an act of discipline to punish them for disobedience.. Scripture teaches that there is ONLY one true God, and that the perceived \"gods\" of the peoples of the world are idols (s) (Psalms 96). Scripture (Acts 17: 26) teach that the ONE God directs or allows the rise and fall of all nations to ultimately fulfill His will. To the extent that God allows, satanic influence plays a significant part in the agenda of nations that are hostile towards Jews and Christian alike.\nA diminished impact of its international influence (Lev. 26: 19) accompanied by partial or complete loss on the battlefield (Lev. 26: 17) are among the consequences that a client nation can receive from God, with the maximum consequence being its removal as a sovereign state in the eyes of the community of nations in the world.\nThe sovereignty of God applies to ALL nations, but there are five cycles of divine discipline (Lev. 26) that APPLY to all \"client nations\" as of 70 AD (when Israel was no longer God's client nation) until the end time prophecies are to be fulfilled. At that time the NATION of Israel will once again be the focus of attention.\nEach level of discipline is more severe than the previous one (Lev. 26). During the dispensation of the Old Testament, the nation of Israel was the client nation of God, going through periods of both tremendous blessing along with periods of great discipline. Israel's return as a sovereign nation in the 1940's was a major fulfillment of End Time prophecy.\nThere have been several client nations during the dispensation of the Church Age that God has used to promote the Great Commission. God has used both good and evil nations to fulfil their roles as they continue to set the stage for the fulfillment of the End Time prophecies that will be fulfilled after the end of the Church Age. Note that I said the end of the Church AGE and not the end of the Church. The Church, consisting of the collective body of the souls of all born again believers here on Earth, as well as those who have already departed, will ALWAYS have their place (1Thess. 4: 17) and function(s) (Rev. 20: 6/1Cor. 2: 9/etc.) throughout all of eternity. Most of the \"Church\" is now in Heaven with usully only two or generations of believers on the Earth at any given time.\nA \"client\" nation is one whose people identify with the God of the Bible, and one that is used by God to accomplish specific objectives in the Master Plan of God. The blessings that God bestoes on a client nation, in part, is what provides the opportunity for believers residing there to take part in the Great Commission that was given to the Church at large. To understand what the role a client nation is to serve, one must have knowledge of what the primary SPIRITUAL objective is for that period of history. MANY nations (Daniel 6) have been and will be used by God to bring about the prophesied End Time POLITICAL scenario (Rev.19: 19) that sets the stage for the Second Advent to take place.\nRunning concurrently with the prophesied political environment is the fulfillment of the Great Commission. ONLY (John 15: 5) Spirit-filled BELIEVERS can be used of God to accomplish His SPIRITUAL agenda. Such believers can be found in all nations, but especially in the client that God has promoted, among other reasons, for that very purpose.\nThe PRIMARY spiritual agenda for the Church Age involves the Great Commission (Matt, 28: 19, 20). The Great Commission involves the preservation and the proclamation of the TRUE GOSPEL MESSAGE to unbelievers and the making of disciples (students and appliers of the Word of God) out of born again believers on a global level, oblivious to ALL political, religious, social, economical, educational, cultural, and racial barriers (1John 2: 2).\nA client nation need NOT to be an official (governmentally recognized) \"Christian\" nation. The USA, constitutionally speaking, can NOT endorse ANY religion, nor can it interfere in ANY of the religious practices of citizenry. Never-the-less, until its more recent history was clearly perceived to be a predominately Christian nation with the majority of its population and leaders identifying themselves with basic Christain values..\nA client nation will be the recipient of BOTH divine blessing (for obedience) and divine discipline (for disobedience), as long as it functions in the capacity of a client nation. While a client nation is in line to receive more divine blessings, it is also open to more discipline.\nThere is an additional personal/national blessing or curse being the result of how one treats or mistreats the Jews in any given land (Gen. 12: 3). Although many of the orthodox Jews of His Day rejected the Lord Jesus Christ, there were many who believed. Mary, Joseph, and the humanity of the Lord Jesus Christ were all Jews. Many of the first members and leaders of the Church were Jews (Acts 2: 41), as were the apostles.\nGod's NATIONAL promises to the nation of Israel will ALL be fulfilled. Anti-semitism is a policy that the devil promotes. as he knows that the end time and future prophecies, as the Bible foretells, cannot take place without there being a nation of Israel at the time! The devil has his own reasons for not wanting the end time prophecies to be fulfilled (Rev. 20: 10).\nThe USA, I believe, is (at least at the present time) a client nation of God. That status, and the corresponding blessings that it has received could change as it has for nations who functioned in that capacity as well. As a \"client\" nation, the USA has been serving one major SPIRITUAL purpose and one political purpose concerning end time prophecies.\nI believe that the USA's spiritual purpose is its part in the fulfillment of the Great Commission evidenced by the fact in more recent history that the majority of the organizations that are involved in the Great Commission are supported by Church Age believers residing in the USA.\nI believe that its political purpose is to continue to provide a wall of military protection around the nation of Israel until the stage is set for the events that lead up to the Second Advent. Rather or not the USA will choose to abandon its alliance with Israel or be otherwise unwilling or incapable of providing an effective military defense for Israel as the Battle of Armageddon takes center stage remains to be seen.\nScripture speaks of a great ultimate victory for God and the destruction of the beast and its forces by the angelic armies of Heaven (Rev. 19: 19, 20), but not before a time so horrific (Matt. 24: 21) for the people involved during the final years leading up to the Second Advent. that, \"unless those days had not been cut short (by the manifestation of the Second Advent) no life would have been saved (Matt. 24: 22 NASB italics mine).\" Details of these events are the subject matter for another study on another day. What we need to understand, as it pertains to the Doctrine of Sovereignty is that God's sovereignty rules supreme and that the soverrignty of the states or coalition involved in these end time events are subject to the ultimate will and plan of God outlined in Scripture.\nBelievers can be come weary warriors to the point they become spiritual worriers if they are not aware or reminded of what the devil's tactics (2 Cor. 2: 11) and objectives (1 Pet. 5: 8) are. All advancing disciples will go through periods of time that it seems like there will never be any relief from the pressure that the is being allows to throw at us, but it is when the remind ourselves of what he is after that we can dig in and resist him with the power that God supplies. NOTHING is more frustrating for the devil than to have thrown his best punch that God allows and not succeed in our destruction.\nSkeptics will raise doubts (2 Pet. 3: 4), but like everything else that God is involved in, these End Time events will not materialize one second earlier or be one second later than what God has already determined. Note the ignorance and false conclusions in the mindset of the unbelievers: \"...Where is the (fulfillment of) his (second) coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep (death of believers in past generations), all continues as it was from the beginning of creation (2 Pet.3: 4 NASB italics mine).\" Even a child in Sunday School knows that much has taken place since Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden and even the most na\u00efve person can see that this world as a whole is on a path of self-destruction. Witho0ut the over-ruling will of God being manifested, I believe that Man would have been the means of his own self-destruction a long time ago.\nWhen Scripture (Matt. 24: 37) speaks of the world environment being like the days of Noah just before the Second Advent takes place, ii is speaking of a return to the level of evil (Gen. 6: 5) and its consequences that were in place in the days of Noah on one hand, yet a continuation of life as usual on the other. Those with spiritual discernment will see that the stage has been set, whereas those lacking spiritual discernment will see life going on as it has in the past, dismissing all warnings that End Time prophecies could be fulfilled in their lifetime here on Earth.\n\ufeffNo ONE listened to the preaching of Noah during the construction of the Ark, but THEN it started to rain and GOD closed the door of the Ark (Gen. 7: 16). One can reach a point from which there is no return. My prayer for you is that as an unbeliever heading for Hell can still hear the pre-salvation voice of God calling you to salvation in a presentation of the TRUE Gospel Message, or that as a believer can still hear the post salvation voice of God calling you to identify and engage in the TRUE post salvation spiritual life, then, \"....do not harden your hearts (Heb. 3: 15 NASB)\", but open the door so that He can come in and dine (establish a personal and intimate relationship with you- Rev. 3: 20 ) before it is too late.\nRejecting the Gospel Message results in an eternity in what the Bible calls the lake of fire. The lake of fire is NOT place of extermination, but one of eternal (never ending) suffering and separation from God. Rejecting the call to post salvation discipleship results in an eternity in Heaven, but one without all the rewards and privileges that one could have also received for having brought glory to God while here on Earth.\nThe sovereignty of God EQUALLY assures EVERY soul of spending all of eternity in either Heaven or Hell, and the souls of believers to either receive or to forfeit rewards.\nOnly God knows if any one us here on Earth today will be among those who will still be here when the Rapture takes or if we will be with those who have departed as generations before us have done. BOTH groups have an active part in what takes place in the Rapture.\nIn the meantime, Church believers who are here on Earth have their individual (1 Cor. 12) and corporate (Matt. 28: 19, 20) work to do concerning the promotion of the TRUE Gospel and the making of disciple ( Matt. 28: 19, 20). If the Rapture should take place during our time here on Earth, will the Lord find us enaged in the work He had for us, or will be conformed to the likeness of the unbelievers around us, more concerned with the here and now?\nThe ingenious of the devil is how he will take an actual Doctrine of Scripture and put a different spin on it to suck in the participation of Man and achieve his own diabolical objective(s). No one can misquote or misapply what God has said with effect better than the devil himself. It worked well in the Garden of Eden and with a few exceptions (Matt. 4/Luke 4) has worked well throughout human history. There is nothing more pitiful than a person or groups of persons doing the devil's bidding while believing that he/she is doing the work of God (John 16: 2).\nWars do have their part in the unfolding of the divine plan for the human race (Daniel 7). The Lord Jesus Christ made it clear that war and rumors of war will be a part of the human experience and environment, and that these things \"must -Matt. 24:)\" take place. The form of \"peace\" that was brought to the Earth with the First Advent was not of the interpersonal or international variety. The form of peace announced by the Christmas angel (Luke 2: 14) referred to peace between God and those who would received His gift of salvation. The blessed peacemakers of (Matt. 5: 9) are those who proclaim the Gospel. Being at peace with God will motivate one to be at peace with others, to the extent that circumstances allow (Romans 12: 18), but one must NOT confuse the form of peace spoken of in Luke 2: 14 with interpersonal or international peace. Those who confuse the two will mock God and the people of God, asking where the \"peace on Earth\" is when in truth it has been right in front of us since the Gospel was first announced.\nIdentifying with the promotion of the TRUE Gospel Message, alliance with Israel, and/or affiliation with the Christian Community at large as an individual or as a nation, especially here in the End Times, will be the cause of conflict, not peace, here in the devil's world (Matt. 10: 34). There is a period of time coming of sustained international peace, but NOT until the AFTER the Second Advent.\nMany who engage in war do so without knowing that they are advancing either the direct or permissive will of God.\nAncient kings, chiefs, and warriors sought the intercession of the \"gods\" when engaging in war, and the devil promotes anything that promotes the concept that there are other god(s) in addition to or in place of the God of the Bible. Both the victors and the losers of wars in the ancient world sought the blessings or grace of the god/God of the victors, having (in theirs eyes) proven to be the superior god. Desecrating the temples and the removal of the religious icons was a common practice among many of the victorious nations. The Persian, and later the Roman, empire saw the political advantage of allowing conquered nations to retain their religious practices and a degree a self-governing provided they did nothing that would be considered to be a crime against the new found state.\nIn the day and age in which we are now living, the mobilization of large military forces over air, land, or sea will not go undetected, but the forming and deployment of terrorist units can not be as easily monitored or addressed. This is especially true in a free society where the government is limited as to what it can do until AFTER an act has been carried out, where as those even suspected of being an \"enemy of the state\" in nations where such freedom does not exist, are rounded up and never heard of again.\nThe resources and opportunities of the average terrorist or terrorist cell does not allow them to organize and execute many extraordinary events such as was witness on 9/ 11 in New York City and Washington, DC, but the collective havoc and fear that single or small groups of terrorists can collectively make, functioning independently but for a united purpose, is what makes them a clear and present danger.\nEnd time prophesies speak of the there being a \"beast\". This beast, I believe, is NOT a single nation or empire in the traditional sense of the words, but a group of nations who are bonded by their religious beliefs, as well as individuals and groups of individuals who live among the nations of world who reside in the land of what they perceive to be \"infidels\". The ultimate goal it is to bring the world under the domain and glory of Allah. Its strategy is, and will be, both military and philosophical in nature. Individuals and nations who choose to identify and submit to their agenda will be welcomed with opened arms, but those who oppose them are considered (by them) enemies worthy of death.\nANY \"other God\", spiritual agenda, or political \"obstacle\" that stands in the way must be removed. At the present time, the nation of Israel and its western allies are the primary \"obstacles\". Land entitlement to Jerusalem and the surrounding area goes back to inheritance rights being claimed by opposing peoples who descended from Abraham.\nThe Vatican tried to capture and retain control over Jerusalem during the Crusades in an attempt to establish an earthly Kingdom of God.\nAfter the immediate actions of the Lord Jesus Christ at the Second Advent takes place, Jerusalem will be the HQ of the global kingdom under the rule of the Lord Jesus Christ, but NOT before.\nThe Biblical prophecies concerning the nation of Israel and the \"Church\" of the Lord Jesus Christ that is promoted by many of Isreal's western allies is in direct contradiction to the political and religious agenda of the followers of Allah. THIS is the basic bone of contention between the nations of the Middle East and ANY nation or collation of nations that side with Israel or any of her western allies. Scripture clearly reveals the destruction of the beast and the global reign of the Lord Jesus Christ in a kingdom headquarterered in Jersualem.\nThe USA is the chief \"western\" ally of concern to the beast. At least at one time, 90% of the world's evangelistic (preaching of the Gospel) was being financed by organizations within the USA. The \"birth of the Church\" took place in Jerusalem (Acts 2), and the return of the Lord Jesus Christ and the establishment of His \"kingdom ON Earth\" will be headquartered in Jerusalem. Jerusalem and the Middle East is the focus of attention of any Church Age believer who knows ANYTHING about end time and future Biblical prophecies yet to be fulfilled.\nThe Christian faith and future hopes has much to do with the Holy Land of the Middle East and the national destiny of Israel. In accordance with God's timing, these events will take place regardless of what independent or contrary foreign policy the UN, USA, Israel, or ANY other nation or coalition may impose concerning its involvement in Middle East affairs. God is in charge and His sovereign rule will prevail.\nNever-the-less, the leadership of the USA would be well-advised to keep in mind that the blessing/curse principle of (Gen. 12:3) is still in place, as it has been throughout human history. In her more recent history, the USA has brought on herself enough national discipline via the ungodly choices its society has taken without adding more fuel to the fire, but that is another subject for another day.\n* \"I will bless those who bless you, and curse those who curse you (Gen. 12: 3 NASB).\"\nSome prophecies speak of post (after) Second Advent activities of the \"beast\" (Rev. 19: 19). This confirms the fact that the \"beast\" is not going away (or be put away) until after the Rapture ( 1 Thess. 4; 15-17) takes place and the Church r-e-t-u-r-n-s with Christ to establish the 1,000 year GLOBAL kingdom, headquartered in Jerusalem.\nObviously before the Church can RETURN with Christ, it must first have been taken away. It will be taken away (1 Thess. 4: 15-17) while the \"beast\" is here and active here on Earth, as it is today. The post (after) Second Advent activity of the \"beast\" (Rev. 19: 19) confirms that the beast will still be here on Earth AFTER the return of Christ (Rev. 19:11+), but soon thereafter the beast will face its prophesied end (Rev. 19: 20).\nThe beast is here and active in the world in which we are living and is not going to go away. It will be working behind the scenes right up to the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ at the Second Advent. Keep in mind that Scripture does not portray a beautiful world that has prepared itself for the coming Messiah, but one whose environment will be so horrible (Matt. 24: 21) during the final period of time just before HIs return that, \"... unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved...(Matt. 24: 22 NASB>\" It will be cut short by the Return of Christ.\nThe present-day, short term objective of the beast is the destruction of the nation of Israel and her allies, and the long term objective is for global domination of the world for the glory of Allah. The devil supports ANY religion or religious practice that would deny God the glory due Him. We do NOT all worship the same god using different names and methods (Psalms 96: 5). There is only one God and one way (John 14: 6) to connect with Him.\nLef to its own devices, the human race would self-destruct (Matt. 24: 22), but God has other plans. It is only the omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent sovereign God of the universe that can hold this world together long enough to fulfill His plan. His future plan for the human race involves both Israel and Church; two elements that the agenda of the beast cannot allow to exist if its (the beasts) agenda is t0 succeed. Note that the \"church\" began in Israel (Acts 2) and to the day includes ALL the Jews and Gentiles who come to believe in the Person and Work of the Lord Jesus Christ. Several of the End Time prophesies concerning the NATION of Israel will take place AFTER the Church. Born again Jews living in Israel or anywhere else here on Earth are a part of the Church and will be taken away in the Rapture. (including its Jewish members) are Raptured away. God has a plan for the Jews left behind in Israel after the Rapture takes place (Rev. 14). It will be in Jerusalem that the earthly kingdom with global dominion will be established following the Second Advent. The national prophesies of glory for the nation of Israel will be fulfilled.\nThe timing of the political rise, duration, extent of regional or global influence, as well as the timing of the decline orr fall of ALL nations or empires is in the hands of God (Acts 17: 26). The sovereignty of the nations is subject to the sovereignty of God. There is no military force or domestic agencies that can protect or preserve a nation or empire that God decides its time for it to go.\nCivil wars, revolutions, localized, regional, and international wars have been (and will continue to be - Matt. 24: 6) a part of the human experience here on Earth. There will NEVER be a period of s-u-s-t-a-i-n-e-d peace without at least the threat of war on a global level on the horizon, until international affairs are managed and maintained by the manifestation of kingdom of the Lord Jesus that is established at the Second Advent.\nPremature and unauthorized attempts by \"religious\" leadership to establish \"the Kingdom of God\" here on Earth through military, social, and financial pressure, have ALL failed. These attempts include the ones made by the Vatican included the placement of bishops who held high positions of influence over the people in the courts of emperors, monarchs (kings/queens) of the world.\nSurely, many of the most evil political and religious leaders throughout human history perceived themselves as being God's chosen ruler here on Earth. One can make the Bible appear to say just about anything that a clever speaker wants it to say in order to justify his/her actions, as MANY of these political and religious leaders have done.\nBy being a legitimate heir to the an existing or future throne, or merely holding a difference of opinion than the one held by an existing monarch or government could cost one his life in the ancient world. The same \"enemy of the state\" exists in many parts of the world today.\nAs the doccumented accounts in the Old Testament books of Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles, etc., record, being made king does NOT mean that as such, he would necessarily conduct himself as a \"godly\" king might do. The same can be said of MANY who have put themselves or have been put by others in a positions of leadership in the religious realm, some of which were NEVER a part of the divine plan for the structure of Church.\nAfter being a great persecutor of the early Church, the Roman Empire Rome saw the value that a uniformed system of \"religion\" could contribute to uniting and controlling the masses within its diverse empire. The bond (or tyranny) that the union of religion and politics can foster can be enormous.\nI believe the leadership within what had been established as the local \"Church\" in Rome at that time thought that bonding with the Roman Empire could serve the interests in the global expansion of the \"Christian\" Community. During the Church Age, Scripture calls for the coexistence (Matt. 22: 21) of Church (Matt. 16: 18) and State (Romans 13), but IF and WHEN placed in a position to choose between civil disobedience and divine obedience, one's first duty is to God (Acts 4: 19)\nTrying to accomplish God's objectives with human ways and means will FAIL every time and often prove to be counter-productive. While the territory of the \"Christian World\" spread rather rapidly following the bed-partnering with the Roman Empire, so did much of the false teachings and practices that were then incorporated into the ever-expanding geographical domain with the aid of the Roman Empire and later into the political domain of Europe.\nIt's been said that some of European people who came to America did so seeking the freedom OF religion, when in fact they came seeking freedom FROM religion. Failure to discern what is \"religious\" and what is \"spiritual\" has been an internal issue of the Christian Community from it very beginning (Gal. 3).\nI place quotation marks around the word \"Christian\" because God's definition and design for the Church in structure, function, and leadership is quite different from that in which most people perceive the \"Christian\" Church and/or community to be in the times in which we are living.\nWith the influence and power of \"religion\" having the support of the Roman Empire., the Christian World was on a course of tyranny and apostacy that even the Protestant Reformation could not resolve. It was NOT the initial desires of the Reformers to start a \"new\" Church, but to the bring the atexisting Church at the time back to its Biblical roots in structure and doctrine, purging itself of all the damage that Man in the name of \"religion\" had created.\nThere is no greater source of influential power here on Earth (humanly speaking) than when \"religion\" and \"state\" get together. When these combined forces work for the good, great nations and world-wide benefits can be the result. But when these same forces unite for the worse, there (humanly speaking) can be no end to the harm and destruction it can inflict. Human nature, being what it is, will time and time again prove the reality of John Dalberg-Acton's old saying, \" Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power absolutely corrupts\"!\nJesus Christ confirmed the coexistence but INDEPENDENT relationship that the Church He designed was to assume with the state (secular governments) during the dispensation of the Church Age. \"....Then render unto Caesar (temporal/secular authorities) the things that are Caesar's; and to God the things that are God's (Matt. 22: 21 NASB italics mine).\" IF and when placed in a postion where one must choose to favor one to the exclusion of the other, the advancing disciple is to chose to obey God (Acts 5: 29). Otherwise, Christians are commanded to pay taxes (Romans 13) and have a healthy respect for the secular government.\nIt is when the Great Commission (Matt. 28: 19, 20) has been completed (Matt. 24: 14) that the TRUE Church will be Raptured (1 Thess. 4: 15-17). The \"end\" being spoken of in Matt. 24: 14 is NOT the end of the world (yet-2Pet.3:10), nor is it the end of the Church, but the END of the Church Age HERE on Earth. The Church Age began at the Feast of Pentecost shortly after the ascension (Acts. 1: 9) of the Lord Jesus Christ, and will end at the Rapture.\nThe 1,000 year Kingdom of God, that will be established HERE on Earth following the Second Advent, will not be the result of the military, religious, political, or social accomplishment(s) of Man, but God will make use of the free-will exercising of the sovereignty of the nations involved to set the stage (Rev. 19: 19).\nMost (if not all) of the persons left behind at the Rapture and are in or assume positions of leadership will have NO clue that they are fulfilling Biblical prophecy any more than did Pontius Pilate, and will do what they consider to be most politically expedient as the Battle of Armageddon is organized and executed. There will be NO true Christians on Earth, let alone ones in positions of authority when the Rapture takes place.\nKeep in mind that ALL Church Age believers living on the Earth at the time of the Rapture will have already been Raptured and will not return until AFTER the final events leading up to the Second Advent take place. If there are any tribulation believers (those who are born again AFTER the Rapture takes place) holding positions of governmental influence, they will not be able to turn the tide of the horrific END TIME events that will precede the Second Advent.\nThe \"elect\" of Matthew 24: 22 are those who are born again during the relatively brief, but horrific Great Tribulation period that follows the Rapture and precedes the Second Advent. God will make the TRUE Gospel known to those left behind at the Rapture during the Great Tribulation period that will afford them the opportunity to be saved, but at GREAT personal risk during their time here on Earth. Those who do not receive the identifying mark of the beast will be considered \"enemies of the state\" and be treated accordingly, but anyone who chooses to receive the mark will face the wrath of God upon leaving this planet and meeting their Maker (Rev. 14: 9, 10, 11).\nA lot of time as been spent trying to comprehend all that the Bible has to say about End Time prophecies that will be fulfilled AFTER the Rapture takes place. While the knowledge of such things can be a great motivator to share the Gospel Message with family and friends, the fact remains that Church Age believers will NOT be on the Earth as of the Rapture, but will return to Earth with the Lord Jesus Christ at the Second Advent. Accordingly, the worst phase of all the horrific end time events will not be experienced by Church Age believers.\nWhy then, would God choose to include such things in HIs Word? The answer is that the BIBLE and all it contains is not all about you (us)!\nThe Word of God includes all the animal sacrifices, dietary restrictions, tithing, etc., that DID have a part in the spiritual life of believers during the Old Testament dispensation. The Word of God includes the Great Commission and Church Age doctrine that (should) defines and regulates the spiritual life of Church Age believers. The Word of God includes information that will be relevant to Tribulation saints, that is, those who become born again after being left behind as an unbeliever when the Rapture takes place. The Word of God contains information regarding FUTURE events that will take place in FUTURE dispensations (periods of time). Among the FUTURE events is the Second Advent (return of Christ), the destruction of the \"beast\", the setting up and reign of the Lord Jesus Christ in the millennial kingdom of God to be headquartered in Jerusalem, the incarceration of the devil, the final revolt, the final incarceration of the devil, Judgment Day(s) for the believer and the unbeliever, the final destruction of the physical world as we know it to be today, and the New Heavens and Earth to come. Knowing what events DO and DO NOT pertain to you as a Church Age believer will be one of the blessings you will receive for having been obedient to the (2 Pet. 3: 18) command to have grown in God's grace and knowledge. Fear and uncertainty, concerning END TIME, future, or eternal events will be a part of the divine discipline that one receives for disobedience to the command (not an option) to grow in God's grace and knowledge (2Pet. 3: 18) during one's lifetime here on Earth.\nThe sovereignty of God is going to see to it that ALL the events prophesied in Scripture take place rather we learn of or understand them or not. What our knowledge and understanding of such things will do for us is to provide for us the opportunity to experience the (Phi. 4: 7) form of peace that surpasses all (human) understanding as such things manifest themselves in the times in which we are living.\nThe road ahead that I see for TRUE Church Age believers here on Earth is not going to be an easy ride. In truth, it never was. Frankly, I do not see where the majority of those who claim some degree of association with the Christian Community are up for the challenge. I do not see where most of what is coming from pulpits within the Church of our day is doing much to prepare (Eph. 4: 12) it listeners for service and for all the changes that lay ahead in what I believe to be in the very near future. I see little interest in applying the truths of Scripture where it is being taught on any regular basis, when using the \"fruits produced\" scale as the primary analytical device. If this were not the prophesied status of the Church (2 TIm. 3: 5/2 Tim. 4: 1) here in the End Times, one would not be kept from wondering what in the word is going on within the Christian Community. On the bright side, the darker the environment is around us, the brighter the light that we have to shine.\nThere is an unprecedented wave of evil and destruction sweeping across the USA and other parts of the world that once were looked upon as lights for cause of Christ. Instead of being light bearers, the lights have gone out and opened the door for the devil to function unabated. Pastor teachers need to step out of their circles of comfort (popularity/acceptance/approval by Man) and toss aside their security blankets (job security/assignment)and DO the JOB that they were ordained to do (Eph. 4: 11, 12). Congregationalists need to get the proverbial wax out of their ears and got on with their part that God ordained for them in the fulfillment of the Great Commission, becoming and functioning as ambassadors for Christ wherever and in doing whatever one finds himself doing in the course of each day!\nThe Bible is like reading a map. The first thing that one has to do in order to benefit from a map is to determine his present location. The \"you are HERE\" designation on the information boards at the rest stops along the freeways is a good example.\nThe first thing that one has to do when using the \"map\" of the Bible is to determine where one is (spiritually dead or born again). Until one is born again, one has NO location on the map. Next one needs to learn the plan for the Church Age dispensation, as Man is now living in the dispensation of Church Age. The Church Age began at the Feat of Pentecost in Jerusalem (33 AD) and will come to its end at the Rapture. Developing an understanding of what the TRUE post (after) salvation life is all about (and what it is not about) is what gets us and keeps on track.\nCorrectly identifying what parts of the Old and the New Testament apply to believers here in the dispensation of the Church Age is what the \"dividing/handling\" principle of 2 Tim.2: 15 is all about. Many false doctrines and practices have become a part of the Chrsitian Community as a result of failing to properly divide the Word of God.\nFailure to identify what dispensation (period of time) one is living in and what parts of Scripture do and don't apply to us (at this time) is a key element in building an edified soul structure to be used as a base of operation of the TRUE post salvation spiritual life. Accurate knowledge of what has taken place in past dispensations, and will take place in future dispensations has its place and purpose, but must not be allowed to become a distraction from what the spiritual life HERE in the Church Age is all about.\nThis is where RELIGION has done a poor job for God and a great job for the devil. Religion has brought Old Testament items and practices back into the Christian Community that has no legitimate place or function here in the Church Age. Furthermore, it has added to the mix many precepts and practices of its own making that are without Biblical substantiation.\nThere will be NO announcement (outside of End Time prophecy already recorded in the Bible) that the Rapture (1 Thess. 4: 15-17) is about to take place, and it will be all over with in a split second, or as Scripture puts it, in the twinkling of an eye (1 Cor. 15: 52). At that moment of history, the prophesied (Matt. 24: 14) end of the Church Age will have taken place, opening the door for the horrific FUTURE dispensation of the Great Tribulation that precedes the Second Advent. As we have seen in more recent history, there has been MANY false prophets (those who claim and believe they are speaking for God) making many false predictions concerning the coming Rapture and the Second Advent.\nOne of the reasons for God providing Man with an account of past events is so that souls of EVERY dispensation can see how the human race got to be where it is now; where it is headed, and what one must do to receive the blessings and avoid the wrath of God.\nThe question that needs to asked and answered by each one of us alive on the Earth right now, is that if the Rapture were to take place in the next 2 seconds, where would YOU and those you care for be? If the Rapture does not take place in your lifetime, where would you be if the day that your soul is required of you (Luke 12: 20) turns out to be today? Sooner or later, one way or another, we ALL have a day of departure coming. God gives most of us great latitude to live our lives how we choose to, but keep in mind that we are going to be spending a lot more time (all of eternity) where we find ourselves than the relatively brief time we had here on Earth. While perceived to be wise and prosperous in the eyes of self or Man, divine viewpoint labels one one a fool who spends his time, energy, and resources focused on life here on Earrh if he/she neglects the spiritual life in the process.\nThe good news is that no one here on Earth has to be among those left behind when the Rapture takes place. All born again believers of the Church Age will be Raptured away and will not return until the forthcoming Great Tribulation is complete. There has always been a degree of persecution and tribulation for the people of God in EVERY dispensation, but there has never been, nor will there ever be a period of time so horrific as will take place here on Earth AFTER the Rapture and BEFORE the Second Advent.\nAside from the eternal consequences awaiting ALL unbelievers (John 3: 18/Rev. 20: 13, 15), I can think of no greater motivation to share the Gospel Message with family and friends in light of what the Scripture has to say concerning the horrific events that will be experienced by all souls left behind if the Rapture should take place during their lifetime here on Earth.\nCertainly if there was a global plague rapidly consuming the human race and one had access to the ONLY cure, one would do all he/she could to see to it that everyone he/she cared for would receive it. Yet, how many who claim to be Christians DO have the ONE and ONLY remedy for spiritual death, and do not share the knowledge of the true Gospel Message with anyone for a variety of lame excuses that the devil promotes. Better to have family and friends upset with you now, than have them find themselves in the lake of fire wondering why you did not care enough to share the cure!\nReligious people judge sinners, whereas spiritual people judge the sin! One way reflects the way the Pharisees, whereas the other reflects the ways of the Lord Jesus Christ. Advancing disciples are being conformed to the likeness of Christ (Rom. 8: 29). Looking down one's nose at others is one form of sin that God specifically \"hates-\". Keep in mind that when you point your judgmental finger at others, take note of the configuration of your own hand and you will see three more fingers pointing back at you. Those with spiritual discernment will see these fingers to be symbolic of the finers of the God the Father, God the Son, and God the holy spirit.\nGod, whose Son's image we are to be conformed, hates ALL sin, but loves ALL sinners.\nWe may or may not be the generation of Man that is on the Earth when the Rapture takes place, but we ALL are, sooner or later going to depart this Earth in the capacity of either a born again believer headed for Heaven, or a spiritually dead soul headed for Hell.\nFor those left behind, identifying (Rev. 14: 9) oneself with the \"beast\" here on Earth will eventually result in, \"...drink(ing) of the wine of wrath of God, which is mixed in full strength in the cup of His anger; and he will be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever; and they have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of the beast (Rev. 14: 10).\nSince receiving the mark of the beast will be required to conduct ANY daily business or activity, and not receiving the mark of the beast will identify the non-conformists as enemies of the state (beast), it does not take the mind of a theologian to see what life will be like for persons who become born again believers during the Great Tribulation period that follows the Rapture and precedes the Second Advent.\nScripture that during the Great Tribulation to come, the sovereignty of God will allow the devil much latitude in light of all the horrific events that ARE going to take place.\nThe beast sees the USA and her allies as being the primary obstacle in the way of removing Israel from their path to eventual world domination to the glory of Allah. The re-establishing of the nation of Israel as a sovereign state in the 1940's was a MAJOR step and indication that the world stage was and is being set up for the fulfillment of the END TIME prophecies and the RETURN of Christ. Keep in mind, that the closer we come to the return the Christ means that the Rapture (that precedes it) is even closer.\nIsrael, and ANY of her allies, are viewed as the number one obstacle in the way of Allah's rule. The Middle East is where the final world conflict(s) will take place, and it will be in Jersualem (Israel) where the Lord will geographically RETURN with His entire Church and establish the millennial kingdom of God.\nThe global Kingdom of God will be established at the Second Advent. The Second Advent involves the Return of Christ with the whole Church. Since the death of the first Church Age believer to the present time, the LOCATION of the Church has involved both Heaven and Earth. Departed Church Age believing souls who have physically died are not in any cemetery, urn, or watery grave. Only the bodily remains. The souls of departed believers are alive and well in interim bodies being with the Lord Jesus Christ in the 3rd Heaven (1 Cor. 12: 2).\nThere is a coming day when the entire Church (in Heaven and on Earth) will be re-united (1 Thess. 4: 15-17). It is at that time that Church Age believers who had been in interim bodies in Heaven will receive their resurrected bodies of glory, and the believers on the Earth will have their natural bodies of Earth transformed into their bodies of glory, having never experienced physical death. It is at that time that the Church, as a whole, will be reunited and meet the Lord in the air above the Earth.\nDuring the sovereign reign of the earthly kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ during the millennial period the devil will be incarcerated and the Earth will experience universal peace and blessing. Following 1,000 year period of peace, God will release the devil allow Satan to organize one more final attempt to destroy Jerusalem, being the headquarters of the Lord's kingdom here on Earth (Rev. 20:). This attempt will fail, after which the new heaven and the new earth will be forever established, minus evil and all that evil had the power to generate.\nThis will result in the final and permanent incarceration (Rev. 20: 10) in the lake of fire of the devil and his Eph. 6: 12 forces of evil. They will be accompanied by all the souls of unbelievers throughout the course of human history (Rev. 20: 13, 15).\nWe have now addressed the sovereignty of the state and how it relates and is subject to the sovereignty of God. Now, we will examine how the sovereignty of God impacts our daily and personal lives here on Earth.\nAs in the case of state sovereignty, we as individuals are subject to the principle of divine sovereignty, as well. Accordingly, God has the divine right to do with any one of us as HE pleases. When we come to the understanding that God created us for His glory and purposes, and not for the primary purpose of pursuing our own desires, it is then that we comprehend the attribute of divine sovereignty.\nThe sovereignty of God is more involved in the lives of each and every human soul than what many would consider or ever acknowledge.\nGod (not our biological parents - John 3: 6) determined at what point in the time line of human history that we, as an individual soul would enter and leave the earthly environment on planet Earth. God revealed our entry point and time the spit second that HE created and placed our soul in the specific body that became our humanity (physical body) when it was brought forth at BIRTH. While such things as medical conditions and overt circumstances may allow some of us to become aware that the moment of our departure is likely approaching, no one but God knows for sure exactly when our appointed time of departure will be. The date, time, and circumstances of our earthy arrival and departure was known by the omniscience of God BEFORE we even took our first breath.\nAs good stewards, we should have respect and provide care for the body that God placed us in, but keep in mind that healthy and young people die and/or are called home to Heaven EVERY day. I make the distinction, because NOT every soul that dies is called home to Heaven, as there are souls that depart every day and find themselves in the Torments of Hades with nothing to look forward to but the lake of fire (Rev.20: 13, 15). Although it is God who judges, His judgments are based on the free-will decisions that WE make for ourselves during our appointed time span here on Earth.\nAll that has ever happened, is happening now, or ever will happen is under the umbrella of the sovereignty of God, being manifested in all that God sends, allows, or over-rules, in order to ultimately accomplish His plan for the human race. This is true of the big picture and of each soul, as well.\nRather we are aware of it or not, we are all playing a part in the ongoing conflict that initiated BEFORE the creation of Man by the decisions, actions, or inactions that we entertain every day. Each and every day we are living examples to human and angelic (Luke 15: 7, 10) observers of what God desires or does NOT desire for each human soul to become during our appointed time here on Earth.\nScripture is clear that it is God's desire that every soul (1Tim. 2: 3,4) be born again (John 3: 5, 7) and that all born again believers be conformed to the image (image =likeness in mind and actions) of the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 8: 29). Scripture is equally clear, ver-the-less, that NOT all souls are going to Heaven (Rev. 20: 13, 15), and even a passive observation of the Christian Community reveals that many who claim to be Christians make no effort at all to be conformed to our Lord's image.\nYour daily life does matter. Each and every day it either brings glory to God or the devil in the midst of the ongoing struggle that theologians refer to as the Angelic Conflict. It was for this purpose that God created Man (and each one of us) in the first place.\nOur (daily) and ongoing choice to live for God, self, others, or even the devil himself brings glory to One/one and grief (Eph. 4: 30) to the other (s).\nOnly via the development of the \"mind (thinking) of Christ - 1Cor. 2: 16 NASB italics mine)\" with the enabling power (John 15: 5) of God can we begin to secure the spiritual discernment it takes to see the hand of God in ALL that takes place, here in the devil's world. There will be some events that, this side of Heaven, will NEVER be understood. Such things are allowed by God, as it is then that we have no other choice but to exercise our faith and leave all the unknowns and unanswered questions in the hands of God. THAT, my friend, can require very strong faith.\nTruly, of the three ways in which He reveals His will, it is what HE allows is often the hardest to comprehend in light of all the evil and suffering that He allows to take place, here in the devil's world. It can be one of the greatest challenges to our faith and one of the greatest obstacles in the way of advancing in the post (after) salvation (being born again) spiritual life. Needless to say, the devil will not miss the opportunity to whisper suggestive thoughts that produce doubt, fear, and anxiety in the ears of the souls of God children.\nThe arrogance and independent characteristics of our fallen nature tells us (and others) how that all we have accomplished or will accomplish is of our own doing, without giving any thought as to what we would have NOT have been able to do if at any time God had chosen, for instance, to deny us our next breath of life (Gen. 2: 7)! Funny how we tend to take much credit, but pass all the blame of our failures onto God, other persons, or things.\nAll that we have here on Earth can (and someday will) be taken away in a heartbeat (Luke 12: 20) or in the twinkling of an eye (1Cor. 15: 22). Only what (if) we have sent on ahead and deposited in our account in Heaven (Matt. 6: 19-21) can have an impact on HOW any one of us will experience Heaven. Everything else is left behind. There is no guarantee that there will be anything left to pass on to others, or that what is passed on will be used wisely or foolishly (Eccl. 2: 18, 19).\nEither God is in control over everything everywhere or He misrepresents Himself when through His Word He declares Himself to be the omniscient (all knowing) omnipresent (the ability to be anywhere and everywhere at the same time) and omnipotent (all powerful) Creator and ruler of the universe.\nGod is NOT the only source of overt \" prosperity\". To the extent that God allows, the devil (Luke 4: 6) is willing and able to bless those who knowingly or unwittingly do his bidding. Likewise, God is not the only source of adversity (Job 1: 10/Hebrews 12: 6). To the extent that God allows (See Book of Job), the devil will hit us on every side to try drive a wedge between us and God with the ultimate goal of diminishing our productivity in the true post salvation spiritual life. In more cases than not, an honest self-examination ( 2Cor. 13: 5) would reveal that most of the adversity we encounter is the result of decisions WE made along the way.\nThe concept of luck being a factor in determining one's destiny is a false concept that can be traced back to the ancient world. The concept of luck is based on the ungodly theory that much of what happens is randomly determined by one being lucky or unlucky. When one prospers, it is said that the one involved was lucky, whereas when one suffers loss, one is said to have been unlucky. The spiritual issue with the concept of luck is that it runs contrary to divine attribute of sovereignty, challenging the significance, involvement, as well as the very existence of God in our daily activities. No wonder the devil promotes the concept of luck!\nThe desire to secure \"good luck\" and/or to ward off \"bad luck\" has opened the door to a long, long, list of ungodly activities that one should do or not do to try to secure good luck and/or ward off bad luck. Many \"Christians\" will \"knock on wood\", light candles, and/or wear religious icons in the form of jewelry, being totally ignorant of the fact that such practices have their roots in pagan religions and superstitions with the intent of warding off demons, and/or seeking the aid of spiritual beings outside of the Trinity.\nI'm sure that the common and well-intended practice of wishing others good luck brings a smile to the devil's face! As it has been said, the road to Hell is paved with good intentions.\nAccording to divine viewpoint (1Cor. 2: 16), there is NO such thing as luck, either good or bad, but there ARE blessings and curses that are the direct result of choices we make every day. The difference is that the false concept of luck is based on such things as random chance and seemingly unrelated incidents that we refer to as coincidence(s). The Doctrine of Sovereignty teaches that all that happens (or fails to happen) is in the hands of God. There is no such things as random luck or coincidences when God is in charge of all that takes place.\nLottery tickets, raffles, etc. and games of '\"chance\" are so engineered that its sponsor \"pays out\" enough \"winners\" to encourage the losers to participate so that the SPONSOR ultimately profits. Scripture (Prov. 10: 2) teach that in ill gotten gain, there is no (spiritual) profit (Prov. 10: 2), but that is another subject for another day.\nIn His sovereignty, God can bless, send, or allow adversity to come upon the life of anyone He chooses in order to accomplish a divine objective (Romans. 9: 14-21). One never knows how far the ripple effect, be it of the positive or negative variety) will carry the impact of one's mouth, actions, or inactions that are the result of the choices we make every day. We are often totally blind to what the divine objective was, is, or will be in the midst of the adversity that we encounter. In such cases, we are called to place the unkn0wns in the hands of God who sent or allowed the adversity in the first place and to seek HIS will in the aftermath.\nMore than once I have prayed, \" O Lord, I have no clue as to why you sent or allowed (such and such a thing) to happen, and I need Your help to address it in the way that brings glory to You.\" In the big picture of things, ALL that He does or allows is to conform us to the likeness (character) of the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 8: 29), but the hurt and emotions that accompanies some forms of trouble can blind us to what it is that God wants to accomplish in our own lives and in the lives of those involved. No one said that the life of discipleship was going to be easy. In fact, God made is clear that it wouldn't be (2 Tim. 3: 12).\nWhen the sovereignty of God calls for (or allows) blessing and prosperity we are all right there will both hands open and ready to receive it, but it is when the same God call us to serve Him in the midst of such things as tragedy, injury, loss, persecution, or injustice, the true quality of our \"metal\" is rwevealed. Note that God does not test us for Him to see where we are in our walk with Him. God already knows that. The purpose of the test is for us to see where we are in our walk with the Lord. From time to time, this can be a painfully humiliating experience when we are forced to concede that we failed to walk the walk as well as we talk the talk.\nTo the extent that God allows, and the devil can prosper and curse (send adversity) into the lives he chooses. Both God and the devil have a plan for the human race and each member of it, not to mention our own alternate plans that we generate independently of the will and plan of God. It is in this environment that the good, evil, and/or independent wills clash and compete that sets the stage for the Eph. 6 spiritual combat of the Church Age. To the victor goes the spoils, and in the realm of spiritual warfare, the spoils is control over the soul.\nEven though the prosperity of the wicked in an old issue (Psalms 73) that has been asked and answered, it remains to be one that the devil uses all the time to discourage believers. Before we call for the judgment of God on others (Luke 9: 54-56, consider where any one of us would be if we had not benefited by the mercy of God.\nOne might ask why is it that God just don't wipe out all evil and the evil creatures that produce it. We can be glad that this is NOT what takes place, as such a policy would call for the death of each one of us (Romans 3: 23).\nThe divine purity of God cannot as much as look upon ANY (James 2: 10) form of sin or evil in an approving manner (Habakkuk 1: 13 ), let alone be in fellowship (2Cor. 13: 14) with one who knowingly or unwittingly entertains it. ALL sin results in one or more of three types of death referenced in (Rom. 6: 23). There is spiritual death that results in spending all of eternity in what the Bible calls the lake of fire (Rev. 20: 13, 15) for the unpardonable SIN of disbelief; there is temporal death when out of fellowship with God during the course of one's post salvation spiritual life resulting in the loss of some or all of the eternal rewards one would have otherwise received (1 Cor. 3: 15) in Heaven; and then there is physical death (Acts 5).\nSIN is a violation of the law(s) of God manifested in what we think, do, or say, whereas EVIL is ANYTHING that comes from a \"school of thought\" that teaches or otherwise promotes thoughts or actions that run contrary to a principle(s) of Scripture. EVIL includes ALL the teachings and practices of Man-made \"religion\" that are contrary to Scripture and that can be found INSIDE as well as OUTSIDE of the Christian Community at large. Scripture (1Tim. 4: 1 NASB) refers to such teachings and practices as being diabolical, no matter from whose mouth they are uttered or authorized.\nInteresting to note that when our Lord taught His disciples HOW to pray (Matt. 6: 13), He included the request to be delivered from EVIL, and not sin. The most damaging forms of evil are the ones that find their way into the doctrines of the \"Christian\" Community. The \"Christian\" Community will be replete with false teachings, doctrines, and practices during the End Time (1Tim. 4: 1). Most of these doctrines contain enough truth to make them believable, but a close examination will expose them for the products of deception that they truly are.\nDiscipleship is a post (after) salvation activity. One must understand that the issue of his/her salvation has already been and is forever resolved BEFORE he/she can take the first step along the road of POST salvation discipleship. If not, much time and energy will be spent (wasted) trying to obtain or retain what one has already secured and cannot lose. It has been my experience to note that it is the born again believer who comes from a \"religious\" background that has the most difficulty breaking loose from the religious bondage and experiencing the John 8:32 freedom that comes from knowing the TRUTH.\nIt does not take the mind of a great theologian to identify sin (Romans 1: 19), but developing the spiritual discernment and spiritual maturity required to detect and address EVIL is another matter. This is especially true when the EVIL comes from the pulpit(s) during times of great apostasy, as is the prophesied (1Tim. 4: 1) environment WITHIN the Christian Community as the End Time approaches.\nFor a Church Age disciple, the issue of SIN (1 John 3: 14), so far as SIN pertains to salvation, has already be addressed, but this does not mean that post (after) salvation SIN does not have to be addressed for OTHER reasons. It has been my experience to note that born again believer who come into the spiritual life from a religious background have the greatest difficulty comprehending the Doctrine of Eternal Security. Sad to say, but some will never come to the experience the freedom from such \"religious\"bondage, referenced in John 8: 32.\nAmong the reasons for addressing post salvation sin is to avoid divine discipline (Heb. 12: 6) and to restore fellowship (2 Cor. 13: 14) in order to execute the TRUE post salvation spiritual life with maximum effect.\nThe identification and filtering out EVIL from one's soul structure is a daily process. Every day our soul structures are bombarded with EVIL that must be addressed if one is to maintain an edified soul structure as a base of operations for the execution of the TRUE post salvation spiritual life. As one spiritually matures by continuing in the Word, what was once perceived to be \"no big deal\" will become a VERY big deal when one comes to realize that the glory of God hangs in the balance. We may (or may not) \"get away\" with things when it comes to human observation, but NOTHING gets by the omnipresent and omniscience of God, and many things do not go unnoticed by angelic and /or diabolical beings that are all around and observing us each and every day.\nAll that happens after we are placed HERE on Earth and before we depart was known by God BEFORE our soul was created. This does not mean that we are not accountable, as we have used and will continue to use the free will that God gave to us. God knew in advance the decisions we would make along the way, and factored all of this into His plan for our lives. The success of His plan is NOT dependent on our cooperation.\nGod knew what opportunities, adversity, and limitations that we would encounter. He knew what blessings and what adversity He would send, arrange, and/or allow. He knew what our response would be to each one of them. He knew what events He would prevent from otherwise happening in order to secure the divine objectives that He decreed to take place WITHOUT violating our freewill. He knew all of this BEFORE we took our first breath.\nThe timing and circumstances that are connected with THE body that God chose to place us in reveals much about the plan that God had in mind when HE created us. The specific body with such things as its gender, race, physical strengths, physical limitations, also reveals much about the plan that God had in mind when He created us.\nThe human concept of reincarnation is flawed as it is in conflict with several principles of Scripture. It is appointed for a man to die ONCE (Heb. 9: 27), and then the judgment that follows.\nEvery soul MUST respond to the call of God during one's appointed time here on Earth. Here in the Church Age, the \"call\" begins with the knowledge of eternity God places in the souls of Man (Eccl. 3: 11,). God the Holy Spirit reveals the completed plan for salvation via a clear presentation of the TRUE Gospel Message. The reality and certainty of dying ONCE are among the things that motivates any thinking person to respond to the God-given knowledge of eternity and to believe in the Gospel Message to secure his/her salvation. Once born again, believers will be motivated to share his/her faith for the salvation and edification of others.\nThere is no greater gift that has ever been given to Man by God than the gift of salvation that it the result of believing in the Person and the Work of the Lord Jesus Christ. There is no greater gift that we can give to unbelievers than the Gospel Message for salvation. There is no greater gift that we can give to fellow believers than accurate Bible Doctrine for the identification and execution of the TRUE post (after) salvation spiritual life. The interest and the value of these gifts that potential recipients place on them reveals much about where (or if) they are in their relationship and/or walk with the Lord.\nSince Man can NEVER do anything apart from God to save himself, reincarnation serves no divine purpose. ANYTHING that suggests that one can still be saved once he/she has departed this world as an unbeliever is giving a form of hope that cannot be substantiated in Scripture.\nIF it were possible for a human soul to eventually (after more than one attempt) to finally \"get it right\" and \"earn\" (Eph. 2: 8, 9) his salvation, or to pay for it off by time spent in an alternative location (as some religions teach), then there would have been NO need or purpose for the incarnation and sacrificial atoning work of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross. In order for this to happen, God would have to raise such human/religious efforts, referred to as a \"filthy garment\" in Isa. 64: 6 NASB to equal status with faith (believing in) the atoning Work that the Lord Jesus provided on the cross.\nIn order to achieve a divine objective, there were several persons who were brought back to life, but were brought back to the same body and in the same period of history and eventually faced the final departure as will everyone else. Believers in reincarnation contend that one can take on bodily form in future generations. Some actually believe you can come back in a different animal form, and for that reason refrain from eating meat.\nAs far as people knowing detailed information that only those present could have known in events of past history, consider the fact the DEVIL and his Eph. 6: 12 forces of evil have been around BEFORE the creation of Man and have personally witnessed much of human history. This would provide a plausible explanation for the source of such detailed knowledge of the past could have come from. The devil has been whispering in the ears of human soul structures since the Garden of Eden, greatly deceiving those who are willing to listen. When the devil provides information it is for the intended purpose of advancing his own agenda.\nThe fact that the devil would promote ANYTHING contrary to the Word of God is no secret.\nGod has an \"ideal\" plan for each one of us that would be accomplished if we made all the right decisions all the time. There is also the \"real\" plan that actually is experienced that factors in the eternal and temporal blessings and/or consequences of the daily and life-changing choices we make.\nNONE of us will ever totally fulfill all that we could have accomplished in the \"ideal\" plan that God has for us (Romans 3: 23 ), but ALL of us will complete the \"real\" plan. In doing so, we will all play our part in the big picture.\nTo the extent that we complete the \"ideal\" plan, believers will either be rewarded or forfeit heavenly reward, but one's salvation remains secure (1Cor. 3: 12-15) Many \"Christians\" NEVER identify the spiritual gift and accompanying ministry that He had in mind for hi m/her. If one never learns what his/her gift and accompanying ministry (spiritual service for the benefit of others) is, there will be a dramatic difference between what one could have accomplished and what one did.\nOn the other hand, many fulfill divine objectives every day without being aware of it.\nGod, for instance, can use the human good that believers and unbelievers alike produce to provide necessary logistical support (food, clothing, shelter, services, etc.), that believers in our personal periphery need to receive.\nGod factored all of our failures (that He knew of beforehand) as well and what we would accomplish during the course of our time here on Earth in order to ultimately fulfill our part in the Master Plan that God has decreed for the human race. The decision of Pilate to knowingly hand over the innocent (Luke 23: 14, 15) humanity of the Lord Jesus Christ to be crucified, played its role in the fulfillment of the plan of God, just as much as Mary's role in providing our Lord's humanity. The same can be said o the decision of Joseph not to divorce Mary, and to do all that he did in order to provide for the protection of our Lord's humanity before the time came for the cross. The decision of Judas to betray the Lord was a part of the Plan of God being manifested by the permissive will of God.\nIn engineering His Master Plan, God did not violate the free will of the persons involved, but all of them played essential parts in the Master Plan of God. Only a sovereign, omniscient. omnipresent, and omnipotent God could have accomplished such a plan.\nThe sovereignty of God rules supreme in the daily life of each and every one of us, rather we are with the program or not. If saved, the issue of WHERE you WILL be going upon departing this Earth has been settled for all of eternity future. but HOW (with or without reward(s) and accompanying privilege(s) remains to be seen (1 Co. 3: 12-15).\nSaved from what? Saved from the ETERNAL and NEVER-ENDING wrath of God that awaits the soul of EVERY unbeliever throughout the course of human history. Rewarded for what? Rewarded for the DIVINE good that God produced through you as you execute4d the TRUE post (after) salvation spiritual life. It is important to note the difference between human good that ALL humans can produce, and the divine good that God produces through born again believers, but that is another subject for another day.\nThere IS (biological) life in the FETUS as of the moment of conception, but the soul does NOT enter the body until God places it there simultaneously with the first breath of natural life, as was the case with Adam, AFTER God created the body of Adam to receive it (Gen. 2: 7). The only difference between the bodies of Adam and Eve and ours is that God created Adam's from the dust of the Earth; Eve's from the rib of Adam, whereas our bodies were not created, but were reproduced via the system and apparatus that God created for that purpose. Every human soul (Adam's, Eve's, and ours) was/is created by God and is placed in the body at birth at the same time that one receives his/he first breath of natural life, being then independent of the mother's life support system. To the extent that God allows, Man can preserve and resuscitate the natural life of the body, but can do nothing to retain the soul when God determines it is time for it to depart.\nThis is not to condone abortion, as unless the system that God engineered spontaneously aborts (miscarries) the fetus, or the fetus is lost from trauma or death suffered by the mother, what is intentionally destroyed was the future humanity of a soul that God would have otherwise filled with a human soul when the body comes forth at birth. John 3: 3 cleary distinguished what it is (the soul) that God creates, and what it is (the body)) that Man reproduces. Note that Scripture related to the First Advent teach that Mary conceived what would BECOME our Lord's humanity at the night of the First Advent. The \"leaping\" of the fetus in the womb of Elizabeth (Luke 1: 41) was the biological reaction in response to Elizabeth's encounter with Mary, and being filled with the Holy Spirit (Luke 1: 41). The heartbeat, and movement or kicking of a fetus in the womb is evidence of the biological life of the fetus that is an extension of the mother's biological life. With the system that God created, the mother provides life biological support of the fetus until the human fetus becomes a human being at BIRTH.\nThese facts do not lessen the emotional pain when what would have become the humanity of a son or daughter is lost or terminated. I know. My wife and I suffered the painful loss of a stillborn son after what had been a normal, full (9 month) \"complication free\" pregnancy. Within a relatively short period of time, I had endured the loss of grandparents, and both parents as well as the stillborn son, all before I reached the age of 26.\nIn addition to my personal experiences and challenges in life, in the course of my police career I witnessed enough pain and suffering that God allowed to make a statue cry. I am well familiar with what adversity many are called to endure as a result of all that the sovereignty of God allows. Through it all I have learned that what does not destroy us will only make us stronger. This is true in the biological/natural realm and in the spiritual realm if we learn to develop and apply the mind of Christ.\nIn summary, sovereignty is the right to rule over something without any outside pressure, interference, or entanglement. God, as the Creator, created the physical universe. He created it for HIS glory. As God, He has the right to do with it, as a whole or with any part of it, as HE chooses. The only limitations are the ones that He self-imposes in keeping with HIs own character, nature, and agenda. He has a plan for human race, and each and every soul that He creates for His own glory. Some, as individuals or as groups, will choose to reject His plan and agenda and, to the extent that God allows, develop and pursue their own plans and accompanying agenda. Ultimately, the plan of God will be fulfilled, but there are many things that God will allow along the way that are contrary to HIs \"ideal\" plan. When things are going our way, people generally have no issues with the sovereignty of God, but when things do not go our way, the sovereignty of God is the first thing they question. By keeping in mind who is here to serve Who, we can better understand all that God does, does not do, or over rules as He rules His universe that He created for His purpose.\nClick HERE to return to the Doctrines of the Faith",

        "raw_content": "Texas Hold\u2019em, which is also simply referred to as just hold\u2019em, is the most popular community poker card game in the United States. As a community card game, players must use a combination of the cards in their hands with the cards in the community pot in order to create the best poker hand possible.\nHow to Play Texas Hold-em\nWith Texas Hold\u2019em, each player receives two cards and the community pot holds five cards. Players can use any combination of the two cards in their hands with the five cards in the community pot to make their final hand.\nWhen it comes to betting, each player must contribute to the pot in order to remain in the game. Most Texas Hold\u2019em games also incorporate small and big blinds, which are bets that are forced by two players. Antes, which are forced bets that must be contributed by all players, are also generally included in the betting structure.\nThe small blind is a bet that must be placed by the person to the left of the dealer while the big blind is placed by the person to the left of the person placing the small blind. Usually, the big blind is equal to the minimum bet while the small blind is half the amount of the big blind, though there are other structures that may be used for determining these amounts. Since the dealer rotates clockwise after each hand, the person placing the small and big blinds also changes. If players drop out of the game and only two players remain, the two players follow \u201cheads up\u201d rules. When this happens, the person that dealt the cards places the small blind and the other player places the big blind.\nLimit Hold'em Rules and Bets\nThere are three common variations of this popular game: limit hold\u2019em, no limit hold\u2019em, and pot limit hold\u2019em. Limit hold\u2019em is the most common variation played in the United States. With this variation, raises and bets and raises placed pre-flop and flop \u2013 which is when the first three face up cards are placed on the table \u2013 are referred to as small bets. During the next two rounds, which are referred to as \u201cturn\u201d and \u201criver,\u201d the bets and raises placed must be equivalent to two times the big blind amount. As such, these are referred to as the big bet.\nNo Limit Hold'em Rules and Bets\nWith the no limit hold\u2019em is most commonly played with tournament poker games broadcast on television, such as the World Series of Poker. With this variation, the players can bet or raise any amount they want, as long as it is more than a specified minimum. A player can also raise again after a raise has already been made, but the re-raise must be equal to at least the amount that was previously raised.\nWhen it comes to dealing the hands, the two face down cards are dealt first. Each player then places a bet based on these cards, which are referred to as pocket cards or as the player\u2019s hole. Betting begins with the player to the left of the player playing the big blind and then continues in a clockwise fashion. Players must either place a bet or fold. The dealer than deals out three face up cards for the community and a second round of betting takes place. Then a fourth card is added to the community cards, another round of betting takes place, and then the final face up card is dealt out before the final round of betting takes place. All of the players remaining then engage in a showdown, which consists of revealing their hands. The player with the best poker hand wins the pot.\nOnce you have mastered hold-em you can easily learn to play another poker variant: Omaha Hi-Lo Poker.",

        "raw_content": "You are here: Home US VPN What Makes US IPs the Preferred Option?\nWhat Makes US IPs the Preferred Option?\nPart of the appeal of using a VPN is the ability to get around regional content locks and access that content where otherwise it would be impossible. Access to us IPs has also arisen as we have become a much more connected world. In order to determine what makes US IPs so preferred, we must first look at what a VPN is, some of its benefits and how that relates the greater question.\nA VPN or, Virtual Private Network is a process of tunneling your internet connection through a remote server located somewhere else in the world. As this process is happening you are assigned a new IP address based on where that server is located. This process also encrypts your data stream protecting any information you may transmit over this connection.\nThere is always some performance decrease when connecting to a VPN as you are essentially adding another stop for the data to travel through when it is both transmitting and receiving. For many the slower speeds will be almost indistinguishable and will ultimately have very little impact on performance. In some cases, users will actually see an increase in performance as using a VPN will stabilize a net connection so while it may not be as fast it will be much more stable allowing you to have a greater average internet speed.\nSecurity Is A Big Deal\nOne of the other boons to using a VPN is the extra security it allows you to have with your personal data. Depending on the VPN provider you can enjoy the standard encryption which is more than suitable for most needs but in some cases you can make yourself completely anonymous on the web.\nWhat Makes US IPs So Preferred?\nIt is safe to say that some of the greatest television and film has come from Hollywood in the United States. Shows such as Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, and more have captivated an audience internationally and that could be one of the primary reasons US IPs are preferred. By having a US IP address, users gain access to services such as Netflix and Hulu as well as access to streaming television and film from direct sites that only allow those within the States to view. Another reason for using US IPs when outside of that country is the protection it may have. In some cases users will want to be protected from over reaching government who have censored or completely blocked access to basic services such as VoiP.

        "raw_content": "\u201cIf the Lord Wills...\u201d\nIntroduction. Whenever we speak of the future, James warned \u201cyou ought to say, \u2018If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that\u2019\" (Jas. 4:15). The devout take this warning seriously. While some speak them out loud, others utter them within their heart. If we are wise, these words are never far from our mind when thinking about or making plans for our future.\nThere are some important reasons behind this exhortation. It helps us remember this world is a very complex place where God is working out his purposes. Our own plans must always be conditional based on his plans. This is what prompted Jesus to say, \u201cnevertheless not my will, but yours, be done\u201d (Lk 22:42). For God to work out his plan, Jesus had to give up his own desires, we need to be prepared for the same thing.\nWe never know when God is going to act, either to pluck up a nation, move us to repentance, or use us for the salvation of others. Whatever Noah, Daniel, Job or Paul had purposed for their lives was changed forever due to God\u2019s plans. If we truly want to be \u201ca vessel unto honor, meet for the master\u2019s use,\u201d (2Tim. 2:22) we must heed James\u2019 warning. God\u2019s needs are far more important than our plans! Not only in the garden, but also during his entire sojourn on earth, Jesus never forgot this. \u201cBehold, I have come to do Your will, O God.\u201d \u201cI do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.\" (Heb. 10:9; Jn. 5:30)\nSo what do we really mean when we say, \u201cif the Lord wills?\u201d Is it only a \u201cvain repetition?\u201d with four words spoken without thought or meaning, or do we truly hope God will overrule our decisions or plans? Do we hope God will intervene if he sees our plans will lead us to spiritual disaster? Is it a subtle prayer that God will assess our plans and do what is best for us?\nHezekiah's Example. After studying the example of King Hezekiah, we learn what can happen if our own needs and desires become too important to us. When we know God\u2019s will and still seek our own, it may not end at all as we envision. So it was for Hezekiah.\nKing Hezekiah was among the greatest kings and certainly one of the most faithful men in the Old Testament Scriptures (2Kings 18-20; 2Chr. 29-32; Isa. 37-39). He began his reign at the age of twenty-five and quickly revealed his faith and fidelity to God.\nHe \u201cdid what was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father David had done.\u201d \u201cHe trusted in the Lord God of Israel, so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor who were before him. For he held fast to the Lord; he did not depart from following Him, but kept His commandments.\u201d Because of his devotion and submission: \u201cThe Lord was with him; he prospered wherever he went.\u201d (2Kings 18:1-7).\nThis faith and devotion led Hezekiah to do many things that were unpopular and difficult. He cleansed the temple, removed idolatry and fought battles to restore the land from the Philistines. With evangelistic zeal, he sent men throughout Judah and even to the apostate ten tribes with an invitation to keep the Passover. Summing up his early life, God revealed: \u201che did what was good and right and true before the Lord his God. And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, in the law and in the commandment, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart. So he prospered.\u201d (2Chr. 31:20-21)\nAt the zenith of this faithful service, in the fourteenth year of his reign, at the age of 39 (1Kings 18:13), Assyria\u2019s king surrounded Jerusalem with over 185,000 men. Having already conquered the ten tribes of Israel, he believed it would be a simple matter to take Judah.\nBut Hezekiah\u2019s faithful service for his people had brought them into favor with the LORD. \u201cThen Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus says the LORD God of Israel: Because you have prayed to Me against Sennacherib king of Assyria, I have heard.\u201d (2Kings 19:20) The angel of the LORD destroyed the army of Assyria, killing 185,000 in one night. This brought great honor to Hezekiah, not only from the people of Judah, but from all the nations around them. \u201cAnd many brought gifts unto the LORD to Jerusalem, and precious things to Hezekiah king of Judah; so that he was exalted in the sight of all nations from thenceforth.\u201d (2Chr. 32:23) Hezekiah\u2019s faith and trust in the Lord had lifted him to the highest point in his life. His faithful service to God brought great success, wealth, honor, and peace.\nAn Unexpected Turn of Events. It was at this moment that he became sick and \u201cwas near death.\u201d All his plans and expectations for the future were in jeopardy. He was crushed when God sent Isaiah to say: \u201cThus says the LORD, Set your house in order: for you shall die, and not live\u201d (2Kings 20:1). Clearly, it was God\u2019s will that Hezekiah\u2019s life of service was over. He had done all that he needed to do and it was time for him to pass from the earth and enter his reward.\nHence, Hezekiah knew the will of God. If he had trusted in the Lord with all his heart and not leaned on his own understanding, he would have accepted God\u2019s wisdom. Instead, \u201che turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto the LORD,\u201d and \u201cwept bitterly\u201d (2Kings 20:2-3). We can all empathize with Hezekiah. At 39 he still had much to live for, to see and to experience. All his effort and toil had come to fruition and he wanted to enjoy the fruits of his success.\nThen we witness the power of prayer and the mercy of God. \u201cBefore Isaiah had gone out into the middle court... the word of the LORD came... I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; surely I will heal you... And I will add to your days fifteen years\u201d (2Kings 20:4-6). This prayer changed God\u2019s mind! Before Hezekiah\u2019s prayer, God had said, \u201cset your house in order for you will die\u201d. Yet after the prayer, God gave him fifteen years! Those fifteen years reveal the power of faith and devoted service to God. This is such a wonderful story of faith and the reward of serving God!\nThe Rest of the Story. Why did God tell him to set his house in order? Why was it God\u2019s will that he should die? If Hezekiah had said \u201cif the Lord will\u201d, accepted God\u2019s will, and set aside his own, his life would have ended and he could have gone to his reward having been faithful his entire life. Did this \u201cgift\u201d of 15 years bring greater devotion and service to God? The answer offers amazing insight into God\u2019s providence and love. It also reveals the short-sighted view of life man often has and why it is better to accept God\u2019s will.\n\u201cHezekiah rendered not again according to the benefit done unto him; for his heart was lifted up: therefore there was wrath upon him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem.\u201d 2Chr. 32:25\nIf Hezekiah had died of that sickness as God had willed and revealed through Isaiah, then none of this would have happened. Those 15 years led him from being faithful and having God\u2019s favor to becoming proud and bringing down the wrath of God upon himself and his people. Those 15 years were wasted years of pride, arrogance, and rebellion. Years he later felt shame and remorse. \u201cHezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart.\u201d (2Chr. 32:26)\nWhat initially seemed so unfair was actually an act of mercy and love. It was the way of escape (1Cor. 10:12-13). God\u2019s will is always in our best interest and better than anything we could choose for ourselves. With God\u2019s infinite love and infinite wisdom, we can trust him. What Hezekiah saw as an unfair denial and a bitter thing was actually a gift of love. When they were spent, he found no pleasure in them. He could only repent and wish they had never been squandered.\nConclusion. What can we learn from all this? The next time we are tempted to think God is being unfair, we need to remember Hezekiah. God knows what is best for us. He gives us \u201cevery good and perfect gift\u201d and makes \u201call things work together for good.\u201d We live a single dimensional existence. Though we can walk by faith and not by sight, we can only see what God has revealed in his word. We cannot see the future as God can. We cannot always see the spiritual consequences of an action, but God can.\nThis is the heart of \u201cif the Lord wills\u201d (Jas 4:15). God knows all things and loves us more than we love ourselves. We must not seek to force our will upon God. For as Hezekiah found, it can lead to disastrous consequences.",

But they never said they wouldn\u2019t get together for something special. So they played Oakland and San Diego to warm up for three nights at the legendary Hollywood Bowl. As a purist, I wasn\u2019t interested in seeing The Go-Go\u2019s augmented by the Los Angeles Philharmonic \u2013 as fabulous as they are. I wanted a real show, so I trekked to Oakland\u2019s glamorous Fox Theatre, which was filled to capacity \u2013 prompting Belinda Carlisle to quip, \u201cWow, there sure are a lot of you out there!\u201d What made these shows noteworthy was the return of bassist Kathy Valentine, who unwillingly left the group in 2012. I was excited at the prospect of seeing the classic Go-Go\u2019s lineup reunited. Alas, my plans were thwarted. Drummer Gina Schock had surgery on her arm, so she had to sit these shows out. But she still showed up to introduce the band, joined by temporary replacement drummer, Chris Arredondo. The Go-Go\u2019s shook things up by doing several songs they haven\u2019t done for years \u2013 if ever. \u201cHere You Are\u201d is a highlight of the Broadway musical based on The Go-Go\u2019s catalogue, Head Over Heels. Charlotte mentioned they\u2019ve never performed it live and hoped for the best, while Jane cautioned the band, \u201cDon\u2019t fuck it up\u201d. Check it out on BillyMasters.com.",

        "raw_content": "Colored Town: Miami\u2019s Historic Black Community\nA ter Miami\u2019s incorporation in July 1896, the nascent city upheld state segregation statutes, passed its own Jim Crow ordinances, and consigned blacks to their own cramped quarter with inadequate services, called Colored Town and located in the northwest quadrant of the municipality.\nVictimized by segregation and discrimination, and policed by a white force with \u201cDeep South\u201d mentalities, Colored Town was characterized, on the one hand, by crime, congestion, and disease, but on the other by a bustling business community, a small cadre of professionals, fraternal orders, civic and business organizations, a number of entertainment offerings, and numerous churches.\nColored Town also contained a rich population mix, since a sizable percentage of its inhabitants were Bahamian blacks, while a lesser number were Jamaican and Haitian.\nColored Town\u2019s population rose sharply in the decades following the city\u2019s incorporation. By 1960, it contained more than 34,000 residents, and its dance and music halls attracted large mixed-race audiences and black entertainment celebrities, including Lena Horne, Count Basie, Nat King Cole, Duke Ellington, B.B. King, Ella Fitzgerald, James Brown, Aretha Franklin, and many more. By then many called the area Overtown.\nAmong the most prominent residents of Colored Town was Dana A. Dorsey (pictured here), its pre-eminent businessman and lone millionaire. After arriving in Miami in 1896 from Quitman, Georgia, it is said that Dorsey parlayed a $25 parcel of land into a business empire that included properties in Dade and Broward counties, Cuba, and the Bahamas.\nBy 1920, Dorsey\u2019s holdings included Colored Town\u2019s first hotel, which became a gathering spot for visiting dignitaries. On Sundays, Dorsey rode about in a chauffeured limousine, collecting rents from his properties. He was Colored Town\u2019s main benefactor, financing the community\u2019s first park and a library, and providing the land for a high school.\nDorsey died in 1940. A replica of his house still stands in Overtown, which is itself experiencing rapid change and redevelopment as it recovers from a long malaise due in part to a vast population displacement following construction of I-95 and I-395 through portions of the community.\nPaul George is historian at HistoryMiami Museum.

        "raw_content": "Don\u2019t Forget your eyes\nAccording to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, an estimated 90 percent of eye injuries are preventable with the use of proper safety eyewear. Even a minor injury to the cornea\u2014like that from a small particle of dust or debris\u2014can be painful and become a life-long issue, so take the extra precaution and always protect the eyes. If the eye is injured, seek emergency medical help immediately.\nDangers at Home\nWhen we think of eye protection, we tend to think of people wearing hardhats and lab coats. We often forget that even at home, we might find ourselves dealing with similar threats to our eyes. Dangerous chemicals that could burn or splash the eyes aren\u2019t restricted to chemical laboratories. They\u2019re also in our garages and under our kitchen sinks. Debris and other air-borne irritants are present at home, too, whether one is doing a home construction project or working in the yard. The debris from a lawnmower or \u201cweed wacker,\u201d for example, can be moving at high speeds and provide no time to react. Some sports also put the eyes at risk of injury from foreign objects moving at high speeds.\nThe best ways to prevent injury to the eye is to always wear the appropriate eye protection. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that approximately three out of every five workers injured were either not wearing eye protection at the time of the accident or wearing the wrong kind of eye protection for the job. To be effective, eyewear must fit properly and be effectively designed to protect the eyes based on the activity being performed..\nHave you have your eyes checked recently? Bond Clinic offers a full range of eye care. Call Dr. Michael Ort\u2019s office at (863) 293-1191 x3459 (Main Campus) to make an appointment today.",

        "raw_content": "Bristol Press Athletes of the Week are Bristol Eastern's Mac Goulet and St. Paul's Morgan Kolb\nBristol Press Athletes of the Week Buy this photo\nPublished on Monday, 5 February 2018 22:44\nToday\u2019s \u201cAthlete of the Week\u201d selections are two basketball players who have stepped up after key injuries to team leaders who are out for the rest of the season.\nThe picks are Morgan Kolb of coach Joe Mone\u2019s St. Paul girls team and MacGregor Goulet of Bunty Ray\u2019s Bristol Eastern boys team.\nKolb, a junior and daughter of Kim and Michael Kolb of Southington, has taken on more of a role for the Falcons due to the season-ending injury to their No. 1 player, sophomore guard Janessa Gonzalez.\n\u201cThis is Morgan\u2019s first season in our program and she\u2019s adapted tremendously to everything we do as a team, both off and on the court,\u201d Mone said. \u201cShe\u2019s been able to play both inside and outside effectively and is one of our best shooters. With all the injuries we have, Morgan has stepped up her game at a time when we really needed it. I see good things coming in the future as her confidence is building more and more each day. We are truly lucky to have someone like her join the program.\u201d\nThe Falcons, 14-2, received a game-high 16 points from Kolb in their final contest last week, a 61-44 victory over visiting Seymour on Friday.\n\u201cThe season started well for us, but due to injuries there have been significant challenges and adjustments required to stay competitive,\u201d Kolb said. \u201cCoach Mone has been making those adjustments and everyone has been stepping up at various times and making significant and timely contributions. As the season winds down, some of the injured players will be able to help us as we enter the NVL playoffs and state championship. Losing our leading scorer and best player in the NVL has left a huge offensive and defensive void. No one individual was going to fill that void, so we learned by stepping up as a team. As I said before, coach Mone has been making adjustments just to give us the opportunity to stay competitive and the team has been executing to a level to meet those expectations.\u201d\nLast year, St. Paul went 22-4 and when asked about goals this season for the team and herself, Kolb set the bar high.\n\u201cThe team goal is to win the NVL regular season, to win the NVL tournament and win the Class M state championship,\u201d Kolb said. \u201cThe goals for myself are to play up to my full potential, be a significant contributor and be a great team player on and off the court.\u201d\nKolb, who also plays volleyball for St. Paul, added that taking part in sports has been good for her.\n\u201cSports has been a significant part of my life since I was in third grade, when I started playing basketball,\u201d Kolb said. \u201cMost of my time was spent watching my two older brothers play baseball, basketball and volleyball, so I had no choice, since sports was all I knew. Sports has taught me to overcome adversity, provided me opportunities to give back, and provided me with a discipline that has and will continue to help me meet life\u2019s challenges.\u201d\nShe also leaves advice for the younger athletes.\n\u201cNever overthink and just play and have fun,\u201d Kolb said. \u201cAlso, never let sports get in the way of academic success, which is most important to your future.\u201d\nGoulet, the son of Mike and Randi Goulet, has been on a scoring tear for coach Bunty Ray\u2019s charges. A senior tri-captain, he\u2019s stepped up his scoring responsibilities due to the loss of fellow team leaders Carter Dziedzic and Ariza Kolloverja, who both had surgery last week for injuries.\nIn the last game of last week, Goulet posted a game-high 25 points in a 52-43 win over host Plainville on Saturday. That has been typical scoring for the senior since key injuries beset the team, which is now 4-7 on the season.\n\u201cMac has really stepped up for us when we needed him the most,\u201d Ray said. \u201cHe has emerged as our main offensive threat. When he is playing well, it makes everyone on the team better. I am pleased to see how much he has matured and also learned to develop into a great player that can score inside and out. This is Mac\u2019s first varsity season and he has really improved every part of his game to keep us competitive.\u201d\nGoulet calls this a team effort.\n\u201cObviously, losing our two key players, it was definitely hard to stay focused and try not to get down on the team,\u201d Goulet said. \u201cEvery day the guys come into practice and we always keep positive energy and always pick each other up, no matter the situation.\u201d\nHe also realizes what Dziedzik and Kolloverja did for the team.\n\u201cThey were both energetic players,\u201d Goulet said. \u201cThey brought the energy to practice and games. They always kept the team going in the right direction.\u201d\nGoulet said he has gotten a lot out of playing sports, which also includes baseball for the school.\n\u201cIt\u2019s taught me how to be a leader and also how to connect and communicate with others,\u201d Goulet said. \u201cIt definitely helps me in the classroom, because I always have to keep up with my work for the team.\u201d\nAnd looking toward baseball in the spring, he\u2019s anticipating a good senior season.\n\u201cI believe we\u2019re going to be a good team, because we have a lot of talent and also veteran players,\u201d Goulet said. \u201cWe hope to do better in the [state] tournament. Last year we were one and done. This year, I hope we can make a run.\u201d\nContact Bob Montgomery at , or by calling 860-973-1808.\nPosted in The Bristol Press, Athletes of the Week, Bristol Eastern, St. Paul on Monday, 5 February 2018 22:44.

        "raw_content": "When Peter Hamilton stored a Go Bag in his office, his colleagues smirked. Then in 2003, midtown Manhattan lost power and Mr. Hamilton, with his Go Bag flashlight, became the office hero as he led those same colleagues down a dark stairwell.\nThe Go Bag may be the simplest bit of crisis planning that most people ignore. Governments around the world recommend it, but research suggests that only a minority have such a kit at the ready. The US Federal Emergency Management Agency estimates that 60 percent of American adults are unprepared for disaster. Faced with the need to run from hurricanes, wildfires, terrorist attacks or floods, there is often no time, so a pre-packed bag can be crucial. New York City\u2019s Emergency Management website contains an entire section on Go Bags, and makes clear that one isn\u2019t sufficient.\n\u201cEveryone in your household should have a Go Bag,\u201d it says, adding it \u201cshould be sturdy and easy to carry, like a backpack or a small suitcase on wheels.\u201d\nIf it sounds like too much trouble for something that likely won\u2019t be used, consider that Mr. Hamilton has used his three times. First after 9/11, when his family\u2019s home just north of the World Trade Center lost power. Using the flashlight he always carried, Mr. Hamilton climbed 16 dark flights to grab his and his daughters\u2019 Go Bags. That experience was what led him to keep a second Go Bag at the office.\nIn 2012, Hurricane Sandy left downtown Manhattan and much of the northeast without power. Their Go Bags kept Mr. Hamilton and his family fed, hydrated and armed with flashlights until power in their home was restored.\nGo Bags can be purchased online, with prices from $70 and to $300. Or they can be custom made. Mr. Hamilton\u2019s self-made bag contains a long-lasting LED flashlight, a multi-purpose tool, a basic first-aid kit, disposable respirators, work gloves, a portable radio, four water bottles, two mylar blankets, two giant black trash bags and separate small bags for carrying batteries and a cigarette lighter.\nOther items to consider: a few days\u2019 worth of water and non-perishable food, a battery operated radio, toiletries, cash, copies of important documents, rain gear, medication and chargers for basic electronics.\nGabrielle Ouaknine is an office assistant in New York.\nIllustration:Fabio Consoli",

        "raw_content": "Potential Sins (1996)\nThis is a departure from Michael Legge's earlier, more comedic work, a tale about a man so depressed about his birthday that he tries to kill himself by overdosing on sleeping pills. Add to this the fact that his wife is throwing him a surprise birthday and has invited all his friends, who secretly want to destroy him in one way or another, and you have one miserable individual. Although it does have its situational comedic moments, such as when the call-girl shows up at his house to find him unconscious, with the empty bottle of pills in his hand, the movie does leave you with a feeling of hopelessness for everyone involved.

        "title": "President Theodore Roosevelt's Conservation Legacy",
        "raw_content": "President Theodore Roosevelt's Conservation Legacy\nW. Todd Benson\nAt an exposition in Buffalo, New York, September 6, 1901, an anarchist shot President McKinley. Vice President Roosevelt, on vacation in Vermont with his family, rushed to McKinleys side. When the doctors announced the Presidents improvement, a relieved Roosevelt returned to his family, then in New Yorks Adirondacks. However, McKinley took a turn for the worse and died. On September 14, 1901, Roosevelt was sworn in as President. His fears realized, Senator Hanna exclaimed, that damned cowboy is President of the United States!\nDuring the dark days following the assassination, the popular magazine Century ran a piece to comfort the nation about the new President. Anonymously written by An Old Acquaintance, the article said:\nBorn of Northern father and Southern mother; commingling in his veins the blood of the English, Dutch, Scotch, and Huguenots; reared in New York, and educated in New England; living a part of his life in the far West, and a part in Washington, where all sections meet on a common plain, Theodore Roosevelt is the most catholic, cosmopolitan, and non-sectional American in public office since Henry Clay.\nThe article went on to note Roosevelts somewhat exuberant enthusiasm but assured the readers that Roosevelt was a kind-hearted man, yet a rigid disciplinarian, and will demand faithful and efficient discharge of public duties by public officials. 1 The nation would soon grow to love him.\nThroughout his two-term presidency, Roosevelt identified conservation of natural resources as the most pressing problem in America: As I have said elsewhere, conservation of natural resources is the fundamental problem. Unless we solve that problem it will avail little to solve all others.2 Indeed, conservation was the first issue that Roosevelt addressed upon assuming the presidency;3 upon leaving McKinleys funeral, Roosevelt met with Gifford Pinchot and Frederick H. Newell, who would lead Roosevelts reclamation efforts, to begin planning a national conservation strategy. Conservation was also one of the last issues he addressed; on March 2, 1909, just two days before the inauguration of President Taft, Roosevelt was still protecting land. On March 2, he established the Zuni National Forest and the Mount Olympus National Monument.\nIn his first message to Congress on December 3, 1901, Roosevelt proclaimed: The Forest and water problems are perhaps the most vital internal problems in the United States.4 As remembered years later by Pinchot, Conservation became the characteristic and outstanding policy of T.Rs Administration, and has been more generally accepted as such ever since.5 These are bold comments when one considers that during his two terms of office Roosevelt took on corporate monopolies and trusts, engaged in ending unprecedented labor problems, won the Nobel Peace Prize for resolving the war between Russia and Japan, revitalized the military, settled international disputes involving Venezuela and Costa Rica, revitalized and redefined the Monroe Doctrine, gave America a square deal, and built the Panama Canal.\nAt the turn of the 20th century, U.S. policy favored liquidation of real property and natural assets. The Mineral Land Act of 1866 offered free land in exchange for mineral development. The Timber Culture Act of 1873 granted 160 acres to any person who would cultivate timber on 40 acres of the land. The Desert Land Act of 1877 gave arid land at reduced prices to anyone who would irrigate it. The Timber and Stone Act of 1878 allowed land to be sold at discount to promote homesteading. The Homestead Act allowed 160 acres to any one who would homestead.\nIn the West, federal land was there for the taking. In part, the disposal of resources was driven by the federal governments desire to settle the Midwest and then the West. It also was driven by ignorance and the historically predominant view that the countrys assets were inexhaustible.\nAs of 1901, approximately one-half of the timber in the United States had been cut, an incalculable amount of precious topsoil had been washed into seas.6 Thousands of animals were slaughtered for sport and business. Under the prevailing leasing system, private exploitation of minerals, timber, and water power sites went on apace, even in the so called reserves. 7 Further, under and in violation of the law, grasslands within the forest reserves were ruthlessly overgrazed.8 Important historic and archeological sites on federal land were freely open to vandalism, profiteering, and destruction. To exacerbate a bad situation, the U.S. policies provided an environment for abuse and corruption and great fraud upon the public domain existed.9 About this time, John Muir wrote:\nThe axe and the saw are insanely busy, chips are flying thick as snowflakes, and every summer thousands of acres of priceless forests, with their underbrush, soil, springs climate, scenery, and religion are vanishing.\nAll sorts of local laws and regulations have been tried found wanting, and the costly lessons of our experience, as well as that of every civilized nation, show conclusively that the fate of the remnant of our forests is in the hands of the federal government, and that if the remnant is to be saved at all, it must be saved quickly.\nAny fool can destroy trees. It took more than three thousand years to make some of the trees in these Western woods, - trees that are still standing in perfect strength and beauty, waiving and singing in the mighty forests of the Sierra. Through all the wonderful, eventful centuries since Christs time and long before that God has cared for these trees, saved them from drought, disease, avalanches, and a thousand straining, leveling tempests and floods; but he cannot save them from fools, - only Uncle Sam can do that.10\nUncle Sam came in the form of President Roosevelt. When Roosevelt assumed the reins of leadership, 560 million federally owned acres in the lower 48 states remained open to entry, exploitation, and settlement.11 Over the next seven years, Roosevelt would close millions of these acres. In the long term, Roosevelts policies and actions transformed public opinion and governmental policies on federal lands and resources.\n1 An Old Acquaintance, The Personality of President Roosevelt, Century (Nov. 1901).\n2 Pinchot, Gifford, Breaking New Ground (Island Press 1998), at 345.\n3 Roosevelt, Theodore, An Autobiography (1913), Ch.

That is why I support a multitude of different safety initiatives.\nThere are 6,000 roads and streets in Cambridgeshire and the police cannot be (and never have been) on every single road. With ever-reducing budgets impacting on police resourcing as well as on other bodies, it is more important than ever that we work together to find new solutions to keeping all of our road users safe.\nPeople need to take a sensible approach to overtaking cyclists and I\u2019m pleased to see the majority do. The code is clear \u2013 don\u2019t get too close to the cyclist you intend to overtake, use your mirrors and signal when it is safe to pass, allow plenty of room without putting other users at risk.\nMy first priority is to reduce road deaths in our county, fatalities which are primarily car drivers caused by other people driving dangerously or inappropriately. That is why earlier this year I invested in a Casualty Reduction Officer. Jon Morris has years of experience in dealing with these issues and continues to work on a daily basis with a wide range of statutory and non-statutory agencies to help educate all road users about keeping safe. One such scheme is Speed Watch which I\u2019m pleased to see now has over 2,000 volunteers. I would encourage anyone in any parish who wants to set up a scheme to contact Mike Brooks, the Force Watch Coordination Officer: mike.brooks@cambs.pnn.police.uk.\nAnother initiative is the introduction of Drive iQ which I introduced in June this year. The web-based learning programme is helping educate young people how to keep both themselves and others safe while driving.\nIt is clear that enforcement alone will not reduce fatal and serious collisions and it is vital the police focus work on preventing them from happening in the first place.\n\u00ab County-wide project to support young people affected by Domestic Abuse Statement from the Police and Crime Commissioner \u00bb",

        "raw_content": "Explore the Brazos River Country\nFollow in the footsteps of Spanish explorers and their search for the \u201cseven cities of gold.\u201d Sailing into the Gulf of Mexico, these explorers were amazed at this vast land and the many treasures it may hold. Searching high and low for the elusive gold, the Spaniards faced the wildest country and strange ferocious animals. They went for days without fresh water. Fearing their strength and luck had finally run out, they stumbled upon a mighty river, falling on their knees and crying, \u201clos Brazos de Dios!\u201d \u2013 the arms of God. They had found water, and with it the strength to continue their search. Little did they know the \u201cgold\u201d was all around them. It existed in the river and the land and the very nature of this place called the Brazos River Country.\nVisitors enter the Brazos River Country adventure through an excavation of a sunken Spanish galleon that showcases a 50,000-gallon marine aquarium. Guests then step onto a boardwalk that crosses over white sand beach. There, they can mingle with coastal shore birds before traveling through the swamplands where visitors view alligators from a dilapidated trapper\u2019s shack or get a beaver\u2019s point of view by crawling into a beaver lodge to see the gators from an entirely new perspective.\nNext, visitors explore the Piney Woods region of Texas where they encounter Cougars, Black Bears, and River Otters. Children can climb a ladder into a forest ranger\u2019s station to slide down a clear acrylic tube through the river otter habitat.\nIn the Blackland Prairie region, visitors learn how some of Waco\u2019s early inhabitants lived by visiting replicas of Huaco Indian huts. In the shelter of a cave, visitors can view a 35,000-gallon fresh water aquarium and see the paddle fish, an odd looking creature that has lived in parts of the Brazos River for thousands of years. Here, visitors will also see reptiles and amphibians that are indigenous to Texas. The largest inhabitants of Central Texas have not been forgotten \u2013 a tactile display allows visitors to touch replicas of mammoth bones protruding from the earth.\nWhile traveling through the Cross Timbers area, guests discover Jaguars, Ocelots, and Coyotes. Jaguars and ocelots once thrived throughout much of the state, but are now extinct in all areas of Texas except a small pocket in the South Texas scrub where ocelot sightings have been reported. The Brazos at Night exhibit, which is a barn along the Edwards Plateau area, houses nocturnal animals such as bats, owls, and cacomistles to allow the visitors an up close look at the diversity that is all around us but is usually under the cover of darkness.\nAmid teepees, visitors can view the Bison exhibit in the High Plains/Cap Rock region where the mighty Brazos is just a trickle. Educational graphics describe the teepees used by many nomadic Native American tribes, highlighting the functional architecture of these remarkable dwellings.\nThe Brazos River Country is one of the brightest jewels of Cameron Park Zoo\u2019s many treasures.",

        "raw_content": "By Sarah Ratchford, THE CANADIAN PRESS\nMany Canadians love to camp, but experts say they have to take certain precautions to stay safe when they are in unfamiliar outdoor surroundings.\nPhotograph by: Colleen De Neve , Postmedia News\nMark Mosher loves going camping and hiking, but he never sets off on a journey without proper planning.\n\"The obvious thing is to let someone know where you're going,\" he says. \"And know the area that you're going into.\"\nMosher makes a point of bringing a map of the trail and the area, which for him is usually in rural areas in B.C. He also makes sure he knows how long he'll be gone for so he can pack enough food and water.\nAs people across the country flee cities for the relaxation of a camp site during summer weekends, experts offer urbanites some reminders on how to stay safe while communing with nature.\nNo matter where in Canada you're pitching a tent, they say a little planning goes a long way.\nInclement weather can crop up quickly and unexpectedly. Geoff Coulson, a warning preparedness meteorologist with Environment Canada, says disaster can be avoided if an emergency plan is in place.\nHe says it's a good idea to get oriented in a campsite when you arrive, much the same way you would in a hotel room.\n\"It's important to scope out the safety plan during the calm of a sunny day when there is no threatening weather, so if it hits at 2 a.m., you're prepared,\" he says.\nIn thunder and lightning storms the safest spot to be is in a car with an all-metal roof. If that's not an option, he advises going further into the woods, as opposed to your tent, which has metal poles that pose a danger. Just make sure you don't settle under the tallest tree.\n\"Make every effort to get out of your tent,\" he says.\nIf you're in a flat area, he says it's a good idea to sit cross-legged in a low-lying area, but not a ditch, which will collect more water, allowing the lightning to travel more.\nMany city folk are \"divorced from nature,\" he points out, so they often forget how merciless mother nature can be. He says one of the first things you pack for camping should always be a flashlight with extra batteries, just in case.\nJeri Syroteuk, a spokeswoman with Fundy National Park in New Brunswick, located right along the Bay of Fundy, advises campers to pack layers of clothing. Along the water, it's often five to 10 degrees colder than it is inland.\n\"That's really important because the weather changes quickly in this area, so bring a sweater and rain jacket,\" she says.\nOntario Parks suggest making sure someone is aware of where you are at all times. That way, if you get lost, they'll have a better chance of tracking you down.\nIt's a good idea to bring a cellphone too, especially since phones aren't just phones anymore, and can often double as a GPS. Ontario Parks also suggests bringing a whistle and having your campsite name and number on hand.\nMosher says he always makes a point of having an exit plan in case someone gets sick or breaks a limb. He tries to plan routes near more accessible roads, and advises bringing a GPS in case there's no cell reception, as is often the case in the wilderness.\n\"Being prepared is the major concern here,\" he says.\nAccording to The Public Health Agency of Canada, there are known tick populations in parts of Ontario, B.C., Manitoba, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Quebec.\nThe best way to avoid playing host to a tick is to wear light clothing that covers the skin, footwear and socks that cover the feet, use repellent with DEET, and pay close attention to the groin, armpit and scalp areas at the end of the day to ensure no ticks are present.\nThe Ministry of Natural Resources posts tips on its website on how to build safe camp fires. The most important points to remember are to build them on bare patches of dirt and to keep the fire about 15 metres away from buildings or tents.\nBe sun-savvy\nCamping and hiking trips often call for extended periods of time in the sun. Syroteuk cautions that it's always important to bring sunscreen and reapply often, even when travelling to national parks, which are often shady.\n\"You can burn even on a rainy or cloudy day,\" she says.\nThough it's obvious, she says, it's still important to remember to stay hydrated.\nThere's an app for that. Parks Canada has launched a \"learn to camp\" app that's available for free on the app store and on the agency's website.\nThere's lots to see on a hike near Whistler\nMore Outdoors travel ideas\nPhotograph by: Colleen De Neve, Postmedia News",

So why is it that people at times become so careless about their cars? The fact of the matter is that we see more and more cars being driven on the roads these days. The thing with newer cars is that these are a lot more delicate and fragile. If truth be told, newer cars simply don\u2019t have the strength required to survive on the roads like old cars. This makes it extremely important for you to pay all the more attention to your car so that it lasts a long time.\nThere are a number of preventative measures that you can take for this very purpose. However, there are certain factors that you simply have no control over. For example, how would you deal with a piece of gravel that comes ricocheting on to your mirror or bonnet? This is something paint protection film in Dubai can easily help you out with. For those who don\u2019t know, paint protection films basically absorb the impact of anything that hits the car. What this means is that it acts like a barrier and reduced the impact whenever something hits the surface of your vehicle. While it will obviously not help you in case a car comes ramming into your cat, it will surely limit the impact caused by minor abrasions, stone chips and anything that might scratch your car. The best part is that paint protection films also go a long way in terms of preventing the surface of your car against tree sap, bird droppings, dirt, dust and a lot of other things that can pose a threat to the paint of your car. In the longrun, the utilization of paint protection films and taking up regular Mercedes Benz service in Dubai can truly help you save up on a good deal of money. While you may be interested in other cheaper options like ceramic coatings, you need to bear in mind the fact that these do not provide any protection as such against rock chips and scratches on the surface of the car. This is why paint protection films are considered a better option.\nThe best thing about paint protection films is that these can assist a great deal in terms of preserving the color of your vehicles. This particularly holds true for customized colors. This is the reason why people who own classic cars are so much in favor of paint protection films. The thing with these cars is that these are often considered as being high end classics that he discontinued paint finishes. This is the reason why owners of classic cars are so highly interested in the utilization of paint protection films.\nPrevious PostGifts always matter \u2013 Here is why\nNext PostQuestions you should ask before opting for shoulder surgery",

        "title": "How Science Works, with a Perspective on Catholic Faith",
        "raw_content": "Wrinkles in Space \u2013 How Science Works, with a Perspective on Faith\nThe 2017 Nobel Prize in physics was awarded to Rainier Weiss, Kip Thorne and Barry Barish for their work on detecting gravitational waves, \u201cwrinkles in space\u201d. For a detailed account of the award to these old guys (like me, they are over 80, but that\u2019s the only similarity) see here. I\u2019d like to use this gravitational wave experiment as a springboard to say what science is all about, and from there to expound on what science does not tell us about reality. I\u2019ll not give the details about this fine piece of experimental work or try to give a \u201chorsies-and-duckies\u201d explanation of the relevant science \u2013 that\u2019s very well done in a fine post by Matt Briggs, Gravitational Waves and Discovering Cause, and comments thereto. In these arguments, I\u2019ll rely on my own 52 years experience as a practicing chemical physicist (or in other environments, biophysicist, medical physicist and even \u2013 horrors! \u2013 physical chemist).\nWhat Philosophers Say Science is All About\u00b9\nThere are two principal schools of the philosophy of science; scientific realism and scientific anti-realism (or scientific empiricism). The realism school holds that what sciences tells about the universe mirrors an underlying reality. I\u2019ve discussed the anti-realism school in a blog post, Tipping the Sacred Cow of Science, about Nancy Cartwright\u2019s book, How the Laws of Physics Lie and the work of Bas van Fraassen. These philosophers hold that scientific theories do NOT mirror reality, but are rules used to \u201csave the appearances\u201d, i.e. to give mathematical descriptions useful for prediction, as in the use of Ptolemaic epicycle to predict planetary motions in the sky. To put it another way, science is \u201cdescriptive\u201d not \u201cprescriptive\u201d.\nOne picture that represents reasonably well how science works has been given by Imre Lakatos, the scientific research programme, The scheme can be viewed as a hard core of accepted principles (e.g. the Galilean Principle of Relativity that the laws of motion are the same in all inertial frames, or the Second Law of Thermodynamics), surrounded by a layer of theories that confirm or in accord with the core principles, and an outer layer of experimental tests confirming or rejecting the outer layer theories. I\u2019ve discussed the Lakatos scientific research programme in greater detail here.\nThe theories and auxiliary data in the protective layer are networked to each other and to the core. For example, the relativistic formulation of black hole growth and radiation is linked to the Second Law of Thermodynamics and to quantum mechanics. (For an interesting view of the Lakatos scheme in other disciplines, do a Google search \u201cimages Lakatos scientific research programme\u201d.) The Lakatos scientific research programme does show how science works, but as far as I can see, it does not lay claim to either scientific realism or anti-realism \u2013 it\u2019s epistemic, not metaphysical.\nWhat I Think Science is All About\u00b2\nMy view of science is based on much post-retirement reading in the philosophy of science and on my work from 1954 to 1997 in spectoscopy, nmr and MRI \u2013 studies crossing several disciplines \u2013 chemical physics, biophysics, molecular biology, medical physics. In Note 2 I\u2019ve given an illustration from my research life of how science works (or should work), but here I\u2019d like to focus on a prime example: the development of the Standard Model for elementary particle physics.\nIn an early post (15th April, 2013), God. Symmetry and Beauty I: the Standard Model and the Higgs Boson, I discussed the development of this theory. I\u2019ll summarize here the points relevant to the modus operandi of science and show how they are in accord with the Lakatos model. First, corresponding to the Lakatos outer shell, there were experimental findings that did not fit well into any established theory \u2013 the so-called \u201celementary particle zoo\u201d. Second, two principles in the inner core governed what theories would be acceptable and esthetically satisfying: symmetry and gauge invariance. An auxiliary theory proposed early on by Higgs, utilizing an auxiliary principle of \u201csymmetry breaking\u201d, was developed to enable gauge-invariant theories to be employed and yield mass values for elementary particles. Some other theories were developed that made predictions that were falsified and so were discarded. The final icing on the cake was the detection of the Higgs boson by very high energy scattering experiments, thus completing the experimental verification of the Standard Model theory.\nGravitational Wave Detection \u2013 How Science Works\nLIGO is another example of Super Science, a massive experimental enterprise designed to test/confirm fundamental theory like the CERN experiments to detect the Higgs boson. Did it do so? Weren\u2019t all the other experimental confirmations of Einstein\u2019s General Relativity theory (listed below) sufficient?\nThe gravitational deflection of light, the perihelion shift of the orbit of Mercury, the gravitational red shift, the frame-dragging effects of Gravity Probe B, and the rate of gravitational-wave energy loss from neutron-star binary pulsars. (John G. Cramer, Gravity with 4-Vector Potentials)\nThe answer to that question is no. Another theory, G4V (Gravity with 4-Vector Potentials \u2013 see link above), has been proposed. For the properties listed in the quotation above, the G4V theory gives predictions identical to those of Einstein\u2019s General Relativity theory. They differ in the predicted properties of gravity waves by differing in the predicted wave polarizations\u00b3. At the time when this post was written it appears that the observed waves correspond to the Einstein GR predictions. Thus the experiments will have fulfilled their mission, to decide which theory fits reality better, Einstein\u2019s or the G4V.\nA Perspective on Catholic Faith\nI should say something about what all this means to me in terms of my faith. I believe there is an underlying reality revealed partially by science, that as one peals back the layers of the onion, we get closer to the core. I also believe, along with Bernard d\u2019Espagnat, that we will never know altogether what that core is because the core is God, the Holy Trinity, and God is only known by what he is not. He cannot be comprehended in His Entirety.\nI also believe that God has given us insight to use science to perceive with wonder His Creation. In the words of Psalm 19:\nThe heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. (Psalm 19 KJV)\nWhat benefactor has enabled you to look out upon the beauty of the sky, the sun in its course, the circle of the moon, the countless number of stars, with the harmony and order that are theirs, like the music of a harp? (St. Gregory of Nazarian, Sermon as quoted in The Office of Readings for 15th February, 2016.)\n\u00b9There have been many books and articles written about the philosophy of science. Some of these contain useful and/or interesting stuff. Unfortunately many of these philosophers have not done science, and this lack of experience shows in their philosophic work. I can think of only three who have written both philosophic and scientific papers, Fr. Stanley Jaki, Michael Polyani and Bernard d\u2019Espagnat, all of whom I admire (for different reasons).\n\u00b2I want also to illustrate how science works with an example from my own scientific career. So as not to blow my own horn (too much!), I\u2019m going to try to show not only where I succeeded, but where I erred. A few years into my first academic position at Carnegie Tech (now Carnegie-Mellon University) a graduate student in my research group was facing a road block with his research problem. A well-established theory was not giving results matching his data. After a lot of thought, it appeared that the discrepancy came from ignoring higher energy levels of the compound (potassium ferricyanide) he was studying. Searching the library, I found a publication by Schwinger and Karplus (recalling my earlier graduate course in quantum mechanics) that offered a road to a solution.\nAfter several weeks of intense concentration, I wrote a paper that incorporated density matrix techniques to account for contributions of all energy levels and submitted it for a publication. One reviewer pointed out a serious deficiency \u2013 I had neglected to account for mixing of higher energy states with the lowest, the ground state. I acknowledged he was right, asked him to co-author the paper with me and we collaboratively worked it up for publication. There is an equation stemming from that work, (Google \u201cKurland-McGarvey Equation\u201d) that is widely enough used in the specialty that it doesn\u2019t need footnoting for reference.\nSo, one more small brick in the scientific edifice.\n\u00b3The polarization of a wave gives the direction of the wave intensity relative to the direction of propagation of the wave. For example, for light, an electromagnetic radiation wave, the polarization is in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation. For gravity waves, the situation is more complicated: the polarization is a tensor rather than a vector (see this link).\ngravity, how science works, LIGO, Nobel Prize physics, science and faith, standard model\nRetired, cranky, old physicist. Convert to Catholicism in 1995. Trying to show that there is no contradiction between what science tells us about the world and our Catholic faith.

Sometime player of bass clarinet, alto clarinet, clarinet, bass, tenor bowed psaltery for parish instrumental group and local folk group. And, finally, my motivation: \u201cIt is also necessary\u2014may God grant it!\u2014that in providing others with books to read I myself should make progress, and that in trying to answer their questions I myself should find what I am seeking. Therefore at the command of God our Lord and with his help, I have undertaken not so much to discourse with authority on matters known to me as to know them better by discoursing devoutly of them.\u201d St. Augustine of Hippo, The Trinity I,8.\nPrevPreviousA Devotional: Prayers of Aspiration\nNextWhen\u2019s the Last Time You Were Told, \u201cFollow Me?\u201dNext\n1 thought on \u201cWrinkles in Space \u2013 How Science Works, with a Perspective on Faith\u201d",

Reliable and stable chronic recording from excitable tissues using implantable multielectrode arrays has been elusive to date due, in part, to host tissue interactions that contribute to device failure. Local tissue damage and device failure is worsened by the mechanical mismatch between materials used to fabricated rigid silicon-based microfabricated multielectrode arrays (EMEA ~ 100 GPa) and tissues in the nervous system (EPNS ~ 10 kPa). Hydrogel-based electronics could reduce the mechanical mismatch across the tissue-device interface and enhance performance. Here we present materials and companion fabrication strategies to create ultracompliant electronic devices for use in peripheral nerve interfaces. Integrated strategies for polymer synthesis, processing, and microfabrication are described. Details regarding the in vitro and in vivo performance of these devices will also be presented.",

        "raw_content": "Approximately 700,000 trustees oversee 167,000 main registered charities in England and Wales. The vast majority of trustees are enthusiastic volunteers giving time and experience to help their charity, and in some cases charities, to make a positive impact on society. Their commitment adds to the richness and sustainability of the sector. But, as the Charity Commission\u2019s Taken on Trust report showed, there is a woeful lack of diversity within the sector.\nThere is a continuous refrain that charities find it hard to recruit trustees and research by Getting on Board estimates that there are 90,000 trustee vacancies. With additional pressures on trustees \u2013 from the regulator, financial sustainability, media and public expectations \u2013 it would not be surprising if the numbers wanting to volunteer as trustees shrink further.\nThat said, charities and their boards don\u2019t always help themselves when it comes to recruiting new trustees. With 90 per cent recruited by \u2018word of mouth\u2019 and only 10 per cent of trustee positions advertised (according to Getting on Board research), it is unsurprising that charities regularly report that trustee recruitment is challenging.\nThere\u2019s a concept common to computer science and mathematics: the quality of output is determined by the quality of the input \u2013 in other words, rubbish in = rubbish out (RIRO). Sometimes the same equation applies to trustee recruitment. Harsh? Look at some of the seven deadly sins of trustee recruitment:\n1.\tPreparing to fail: If you don\u2019t invest the time in defining the skills, experiences and background of potential trustees, it shouldn\u2019t be a surprise when you don\u2019t get the skills needed to make your strategic plan a reality. As Einstein said, \u2018insanity is doing the same thing, over and over again, but expecting different results\u2019.\n2.\tFishing in a small pond but expecting to catch an oceanic fish: To catch the intended type of fish requires the correct equipment, strategy, bait, patience and the most appropriate stretch of water. If the aim is to attract a young, digital native trustee, you are unlikely to strike it lucky by using the established \u2018dead tree press\u2019 or using language that feels musty or old-fashioned.\n3.\tQuantity over quality: Sometimes the search for trustees can equate to quickly recruiting anything with a pulse to fill all vacancies rather than carefully assessing what the board has and what it needs to take the charity forward. Taking time and deliberating over what the charity needs may result in a smaller board, but one which is more focused, competent, committed and professional in its work and doesn\u2019t have the additional burden of carrying any \u2018deadweight\u2019.\n4.\tWhite lies: The \u2018Oh, we only meet four times a year for a two-hour meeting, it won\u2019t take up too much of your time\u2019 line is very rarely an accurate description of the role, the work involved and the time required to do the job properly. It is the equivalent of using a 20-year-old photo of yourself on an online dating app to show yourself in the best light. The reality can come as a shock and even lead to disappointment, resentment and worse.\n5.\tThe wise monkeys: Successful recruitment of a diverse trustee board is not built upon hearing, seeing, saying and doing nothing! Being alert to messages \u2013 spoken and unspoken - in the boardroom, charity, volunteers, beneficiaries and other interested groups will help the board identify likely vacancies and appropriate routes to recruiting a suitably experienced and diverse individual. Sometimes the best candidate can be right under your nose, but you just haven\u2019t been looking in the right direction.\n6.\tAmateur, not professional: A haphazard, chaotic or otherwise unimpressive approach to trustee recruitment is likely to attract or encourage similar qualities in a potential trustee, or worse, someone who sees it as an opportunity to take advantage of the charity. Being structured, objective and professional will help to attract and retain interest from individuals with a similar mindset, and will cultivate a relationship that will benefit the charity \u2013 in the manner that decisions are made and the way trustees behave with those to whom they come into contact. A professional trustee in turn can inspire trust, confidence and donations from others.\n7.\tMirror, mirror on the wall: Having undertaken a trustee recruitment exercise, it can be tempting to just crack on with the induction and embedding the trustee in the workings of the board. Imagine what might be achieved if the board formally reviewed their processes, the quality and quantity of candidates and the overall success of the exercise. Feed those insights into point number one and the pattern of failure just might be broken.\nObviously, the above are over-generalised caricatures of some boards, but if we\u2019re honest, we have seen these characteristics more often than we would care to.\nThe role of charity trustee is one that can offer considerable satisfaction, challenges and experiences, but it should not be forgotten that the position can be quite onerous and carries some serious responsibilities \u2013 to the law and regulators, to the media and the general public, donors and volunteers, but most importantly to the communities the charity was set up to serve.\nIn short, people are counting on the trustee board to deliver. As such, trustee recruitment is a crucial function of the board and should be approached with the same level of consideration and professionalism as you would a paid position.\nUltimately with trustee recruitment, you will get out what you put in. So if you want dedicated, diverse, knowledgeable, professional and experienced trustees you need to implement a suitably structured, formal and robust recruitment strategy. This will take time, but to do otherwise is likely to be a false economy.\nLouise Thomson is head of policy (not-for-profit) at ICSA: The governance institute",

        "raw_content": "Medicaid Services Expand in California\nBy Bruce, September 24, 2012 at 10:00 am\nA couple of weeks ago, exciting news from California created buzz among Illinois providers of community based care for older adults and people with physical disabilities.\nOn September 4, California's Health and Human Services Agency announced (here) that it is the first state to obtain regulatory approval for implementing the Community First Choice (CFC) option, a new federally funded program aimed at keeping elderly and disabled individuals out of nursing homes. The CFC option will provide the state with an estimated $573 million in additional federal funds during the first two years of implementation allowing it to continue to prioritize an individual\u2019s ability to reside in their community rather than in institutional care.\n\u201cWe look forward to working with our state and federal partners as we move to provide seniors and people with disabilities with better options for self-directed care.\u201d said the California Health and Human Services Secretary Diana S. Dooley.\nThe CFC option is financed by Medicaid and is made possible by the Affordable Care Act. It provides participating states a six percentage point increase in federal Medicaid matching funds for providing community-based attendant services and supports to beneficiaries who would otherwise be confined to a nursing home or other institution.\nSince the mid-1970's, states have had the option to offer personal care services under their Medicaid state plans, but it had a medical orientation and could only be provided in an individual's place of residence. Personal care services were mainly offered to assist individuals in their performance of activities of daily living, and, if incidental, to the delivery of such services could include housekeeping activities (and other chores).\nIn 1981, Medicaid (through the 1915(c) HCBS waiver program) has afforded states considerable latitude in designing services to meet the needs of people who would otherwise require institutional care. In 2010, nearly 1 million elderly and disabled individuals received LTSS in their homes or alternative residential community settings (nationwide, 1.4 million individuals reside in nursing homes).\nIt is not surprising that California beat Illinois to exploiting this resource for federal dollars to expand long term services and supports (LTSS). In last year's ground breaking AARP report, \"Raising Expectations: A State Scorecard on LTSS\" the data revealed that California leads Illinois by a wide margin in providing choice of setting and provider for LTSS for older adults and people with physical disabilities. This latest development will surely only widen the gap as Illinois struggles with addressing its historic reliance on institutional-based care. A comparison of a few salient metrics reveals the extent of the gap between elder care delivery (to the Medicaid population) in California compared to Illinois.\n% of Gorvernment funded LTSS going to home care % of Nursing Home Residents with Low Care Needs Number of Nursing Home Residents\n2009 Rank 2007 Rank 2010\nCalifornia 53.70% 6 10.80% 19 101,854\nIllinois 27.90% 29 25.10% 49 74,721\nThere are many explanations for the disparities which exist between the Land of Lincoln and the Golden State. In Springfield, disparate (and often competing) stakeholder interests and a chronically underfunded Medicaid program complicates regulatory initiatives and reforms. Of course, California faces its own budget challenges and for that reason some may marginalize the viability its initiatives in this area. I disagree with those naysayers. The goal of maximizing the choice and control older adults have over their lives remains paramount. Although it may not be achieved quickly in Illinois, at least we can see evidence that it can be done.\nWhat do you think?

Her research program focuses on the integration of genomic, genetic, and proteomic approaches to identify new protein targets and small-molecule modulators of malignancy with an eye toward clinical translation. In particular, she developed a chemical genomic approach to drug screening, Gene Expression-based High-throughput Screening (GE-HTS), in which gene expression signatures serve as surrogates for different biological states. This is a generic method and a departure from traditional target-based or phenotype-based screening. Her laboratory has applied the GE-HTS approach to the alteration of the malignant state (i.e., induction of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and neuroblastoma differentiation) and to the modulation of intractable protein targets such as transcription factor abnormalities in Ewing sarcoma and T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Compounds emerging from screening efforts have served as clinical leads for trial development as well as tool compounds for probing mechanism of oncogenesis and for the identification of new cancer targets. Ongoing work in the laboratory focuses on applying these approaches to:\nIdentification of new cancer-promoting protein targets\nModulation of pharmacologicaly challenging oncoproteins (e.g., transcription factors)\nIdentification of new small-molecule inducers of cancer cell differentiation\nThe laboratory\u2019s ultimate goal is the translation of compelling findings to clinical trial. Clinical trials for AML and Ewing sarcoma have resulted from this research.\nAbout Kimberly Stegmaier\nKimberly Stegmaier is a physician-scientist who received an MD from Harvard Medical School.

        "raw_content": "Scotland\u2019s Housing Festival: Achieving better health through housing\nIn this new blog for CIH Scotland's Housing Festival, Pennie Taylor, a freelance journalist specialising in health and social care and our Chair for day one, examines the links between housing and improving health.\nWhen the architects of our Welfare State were drawing up their plans to address the social security needs of post-war Britain, they were in no doubt about the critical role that good housing plays in the health of a nation. 70 years on, it is more evident than ever that Scotland needs a vibrant and diverse housing sector if it is to rise to the considerable challenges the future will bring.\nQuality housing is key to achieving Scotland\u2019s ambition to build a health-enhancing and sustainable social framework for all. Indeed, an adequate standard of living is recognised as a fundamental human right.\nWe know that as our population ages it will become ever-more important for those with complex health and care needs to be able to continue to live well in their own homes for as long as possible. A decade of austerity means that homelessness is rising once again, and a growing number of families are living in temporary accommodation instead of comfortable, affordable homes where they can put down roots. And as the gap between rich and poor widens, it seems obvious that access to high-quality social housing, shared ownership, co-housing and other models of provision could help to bridge the equality divide.\nMaking change demands commitment, collaboration and investment - not just in terms of cash, but also creativity. There are exciting opportunities to look ahead, to anticipate a person\u2019s changing needs as they grow older, and future-proof homes to meet individuals\u2019 requirements over their whole life course. When it comes to health and social care so much more can (and surely will) be done with digital technologies, linking people and their health practitioners from the privacy of their sitting rooms, monitoring activity remotely to keep them safe. There are also chances to innovate, to build and re-build mixed communities where loneliness and isolation \u2013 as significant a threat to health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day - become things of the past.\nGiven the resources to flourish, I predict that housing providers in Scotland will become an increasingly diverse bunch. In Glasgow, plans are well underway to stimulate self-build developments, and interest groups are coming together to explore how they can collectively create the homes they wish to live in, rather than the ones developers might want them to have. Across Scotland, housing organisations large and small are exploring new ways of engaging citizens, and delivering well-designed buildings that people are proud to call home.\nFar-sighted politician William Beveridge and his colleagues took a leap of faith when, in 1948, they identified housing as a major plank in progressive social policy. We owe it to them to keep developing and refreshing that vision, and I look forward to hearing the views of our keynote debate panel, and the ideas of the audience, at Scotland\u2019s Housing Festival 2019.\nBiog: Pennie Taylor is a freelance journalist specialising in health and social care. Former BBC Scotland Health Correspondent, she continues to broadcast regularly. Pennie will chair the first day of Scotland\u2019s Housing Festival 2019, and leads the keynote debate: \u2018What does a 21st century housing provider look like?\u201d",

        "title": "NFL owners approve new national anthem policy with hope of ending protests - Colorado Daily",
        "raw_content": "NFL owners approve new national anthem policy with hope of ending protests\nATLANTA - The NFL and the owners of its 32 teams enacted a new policy Wednesday that no longer requires players to be on the sideline for the playing of the national anthem before games, but does empower teams to discipline players who protest publicly during that time.\nThe league's new position, the latest development in a controversy that began with Colin Kaepernick kneeling during the anthem in 2016 and became more heated last fall following comments from President Donald Trump, leaves wide discretion to discipline players for acts deemed disrespectful during the anthem.\n\"Clearly our objective as a league and to all 32 clubs, which was unanimous, is that we want people to be respectful of the national anthem,\" NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said on the final day of a two-day owners' meeting at an Atlanta hotel.\nBut the new policy also says the league can fine a team for any protest during the anthem by one of its players. Owners said their expectation is that if a player opts to be on the sideline for the anthem, rather than remaining in the locker room, that player will stand.\n\"Those who are not comfortable standing for the anthem have the right to stay off the field,\" Pittsburgh Steelers owner Art Rooney II said. \"We're not forcing anybody to stand who doesn't feel that that's within the way they feel about particular subjects. But those that are on the field are going to be asked to stand. We've listened to a lot of different viewpoints, including our fans, over the last year. I think this policy is meant to come out at a place where we're respecting everybody's point of view on this as best we could.\"\nUnder the new policy, a team such as the Dallas Cowboys or Houston Texans could not force a player to be on the sideline for the anthem but could discipline any player who protests on the sideline during the anthem.\nCowboys owner Jerry Jones said last season that he would bench any Dallas player who refused to stand for the anthem. Texans owner Robert McNair said at the annual league meeting in March that NFL playing fields are not the place for political statements. Cincinnati Bengals owner Mike Brown reportedly told free agent safety Eric Reid this offseason that he planned to require Bengals players to stand for the anthem.\nConversely, any team or owner that wants to allow players to protest would have to be willing to pay a fine by the league. The NFL did not disclose the amount of such a fine. The San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks were among the teams that were particularly tolerant in the past of the players' protests.\nThe NFL Players Association announced it would study the new policy and challenge any aspects of it that the union found to be in violation of the sport's collective bargaining agreement.\n\"The NFL chose to not consult the union in the development of this new \u2018policy,'\" the NFLPA said in its statement. \"NFL players have shown their patriotism through their social activism, their community service, in support of our military and law enforcement and yes, through their protests to raise awareness about the issues they care about.\n\"The vote by NFL club CEOs today contradicts the statements made to our player leadership by Commissioner Roger Goodell and the Chairman of the NFL's Management Council John Mara about the principles, values and patriotism of our League.\"\nNew York Jets Chairman Christopher Johnson told Newsday that he would not discipline a player on his team who protests and he would pay the league's fine of the Jets in that case.\nJed York, the chief executive officer of the 49ers, told reporters that his team abstained from the vote.\n\"All 32 clubs want to ensure that during the moments that the anthem is played, that is a very important moment to all of us as a league, to our personnel and to our country,\" Goodell said. \"And that's a moment that we want to make sure is done in a very respectful fashion.\"\nThat NFL's previous anthem policy, written into the game operations manual given by the league to teams, required players to be on the sideline for the anthem. It said that players should stand for the anthem but it did not require it.\nOwners said they discussed the issue for about two hours Tuesday and an hour Wednesday. There did not appear to be sufficient support among the owners for a strict leaguewide requirement that players stand for the anthem.\nThe owners could have left the previous policy unchanged. They could have made the anthem policy a decision made by the home team for each game. They could have reverted to the sport's pre-2009 approach and kept all players in the locker rooms until after the anthem is played.\nMany owners previously had said that while they would like players to stand for the anthem, they were not prepared to require it. That was the approach taken by owners when they met last October in New York and did not change the previous anthem policy. They focused then on discussions with a group of players that led to a social justice initiative by which the league and teams are providing funding to players' community activism.\n\"Last fall was difficult, I think, for all of us within the league,\" Green Bay Packers President Mark Murphy said. \"But one of the real positives that came out of it was the improved relationship between management and the players. I think that's been a real positive. We want that to continue as we move forward.\"\nThe issue became a national controversy last season after Trump and some fans were sharply critical of protests during the anthem by some NFL players. Trump publicly urged owners to fire any player who protested during the anthem. In a season of sagging television ratings, observers and some owners wondered how much the backlash over the protests was affecting the economics of the nation's most prosperous pro sports league.\nFootball is easier for Josh Norman after \"Dancing With the Stars\"\nDenver Broncos OTA update: Players react to NFL's National Anthem policy\nNFL awards Super Bowl to Arizona (2023) and New Orleans (2024)\nNFL owners approve kickoff changes, replay for ejections\nNFL owners discuss national anthem policy without reaching resolution\nThe protests continued last season after being started during the 2016 season by quarterback Colin Kaepernick, then with the 49ers. He refused to stand for the anthem in protest of the treatment of African-Americans in the U.S.\nKaepernick was out of the league last season and he and Reid have pending grievances accusing the league and teams of colluding to keep them unsigned.\nOwners spoke of their desire to put the focus of fans back on the games being played.\n\"I look forward to getting the focus back on football and getting back to football in 2018,\" Arizona Cardinals President Michael Bidwill said.",

My memories are pleasant, and I felt supported \u2013 yet began to question some of the doctrine we were asked to take as literal.\nLeaving high school, I knew mainstream \u201cchurch\u201d was not for me, though I hungered for spiritual food. I did a lot of independent reading, and spent a lot of time away from spiritual community. My relationship with God and Jesus were way different from everyone I knew.\nI was in my forties when I happened upon Deepak Chopra and metaphysics, which led me to the Spiritual Awareness Center in Visalia, California. I felt as if I had \u201ccome home.\u201d It was wonderful discovering there were all kinds of people who believed as I did. The concepts of unity and wholeness resonated to the depths of my being.\nIn addition to attending services each week, I began taking every class I could, usually taking two at a time, while volunteering for any service I could do for the Center. I knew this was something big!\nI became a Practitioner in 1997, a minister in 1999, when I founded the Center for Spiritual Living in Petaluma, California. I was hired as the Spiritual Director of the Eugene Center at the end of 2006.\nRev Drew Johnson\nI began my spiritual journey by reading Krishnamurti in the early \u201870\u2019s. Upon first attending the Center for Spiritual Living Eugene in 1996 classes became a steady diet. My life, inwardly and outwardly, has been utterly transformed by this teaching, and I have complete faith in its principles.\nI have been a member of the Center for nineteen years and became a licensed practitioner in 2003 and a licensed minister in 2014. I have served on the Board of Trustees for three separate 3-year terms, with terms as President and Finance Chair. I also teach classes at the Center, and am a co-chair of the Center\u2019s annual northwest new thought conference.\nI received my law degree from the University of Oregon in 1975, and have been an attorney for forty years specializing in Social Security Disability law. I am also the owner, with my spouse Diane Moen, of the Wonder Wash car wash in Eugene. I am the father of two sons, Max and Luke. I am a passionate fan of the Ducks, and also of Rumi and have given several multi-media presentations on the 13th century poet.\nRev Diane Moen\nIn 1972, I read a book by Maxwell Maltz called Psycho Cybernetics, a story of women searching for confidence and self-worth through plastic surgery only to find out afterward, nothing changed. There was something missing from within. Years later at the birth of my children Max and Luke, seeing those faces for the first time, a deep, magical and spiritual thing happened. A part of me awakened I didn\u2019t know existed.\nWhen I lost my father, my journey for a more spiritual life began in earnest. I searched for anything that had to do with metaphysics and spirituality and that strong desire led me to a Religious Science Church.\nThat day, I felt I had \u201ccome home\u201d! I was so amazed there was actually a \u201cchurch\u201d that had a philosophy that I agreed with. I immediately began taking classes and became a Practitioner. Soon after, I became a certified, licensed teacher of the Louise Hay Heal Your Life\u00ae workshops. I am currently a Center for Spiritual Living(\u2122) minister, a certified Mary Morrissey Dream Builder Life Coach and a Radical Forgiveness Master Coach.\nThe gift of finding and knowing the power of our teaching has given me a heartfelt purpose to share this wonderful truth with others. Through workshops, coaching and being a Practitioner, and now a minister, it is my dream to guide them to discover their greatness, their Spiritual power and the Truth of who they are.\nRev. Shirley Foster\nI think I first entertained the idea of being a practitioner in the 1950\u2019s when my husband\u2019s aunt, who was a practitioner in one of the Religious Science International churches in the Los Angeles area, used affirmative prayer, or treatment, for healing the bursitis in my upper left arm. Until the treatment work was done I had experienced excruciating pain in my arm. No other type of treatment had helped.\nSoon after this healing, my family and I joined the Redondo Beach, California, Church of Religious Science, and I started taking accredited classes. I found that the teachings gave me such a wonderful feeling of peace, and helped me be a better parent for our children. I also noticed other church members were leading more fulfilling lives. I wanted to bring all of this to others.\nI continued taking classes until I became a licensed practitioner in 1967, and then went on to become a minister in 1980. Somewhere along the line Religious Science International awarded me my Lifetime Practitioner License. I am glad I can be an active practitioner in our Center for Spiritual Living(\u2122) and help others live happier, healthier lives.\nCongratulations to our newest Ministers!",

        "title": "Over 50\u2019s Behind an Increase in Divorce Statistics \u2013 Curtis Whiteford Crocker",
        "raw_content": "The latest figures from the Office of National Statistics shows a sudden rise in the number of divorces in England and Wales, up 5.8% on the previous year. It\u2019s the first increase in the divorce rate this decade. The figures also reveal that the increase is highest amongst older people.\nTam Katibeh, a paralegal in the Family and Matrimonial department of Plymouth-based Curtis Whiteford Crocker solicitors, has noticed this trend in the traditional \u201cJanuary rush\u201d of divorce and separation proceedings that follows Christmas.\n\u201cIt\u2019s caused sometimes by people spending Christmas together, or the arrival of the New Year when people are looking at making a new start. They may have felt that the marriage has been over for some time, but the New Year makes them think about doing something about it,\u201d says Tam. \u201cThey get that \u2018final\u2019 Christmas out of the way and start afresh\u201d.\n\u201cWe get a mix of people seeking a divorce, but I\u2019ve been quite surprised more recently at how many people are looking to divorce after 20 or 30 years of marriage. I find that quite sad, to think that they\u2019ve spent most of their adult life together and now they are going their separate ways after having built a life together\u201d.\n\u201cIt often happens when the kids leave home,\u201d says Tam. \u201cA lot of women reach the point where they think it\u2019s time to think about themselves. They decide to \u2018focus on me.\u2019 They find behaviour patterns change when the children have grown and moved out. They sit and think \u2018is this the life for me?\u201d\n\u201cPeople are living longer and at this point in their lives they might have 20 or 25 years stretching out ahead of them. From a social aspect, divorce is no longer a taboo. There was a certain generation that would have stayed together for the sake of the children, but that\u2019s no longer the case. Many things have changed \u2013 women are raising children on their own, and there are same sex couples.\u201d\nMost divorces are granted on the basis of unreasonable behaviour \u2013 51% of all wives\u2019 petition on this basis and 36% of all men, according to the ONS figures.\nTam encourages her clients to try and reach an agreement with their former spouses. \u201cI have yet to have a financial settlement go to court, most people try to agree. I try and encourage people to reach an agreement and be reasonable with one another, not only is this cost effective, but enables them to finalise matters and go their separate ways quicker. However, when it comes to reaching agreement regarding the children and the amount of time they will spend with each parent, nine out of ten cases do require the assistance of the Court\u201d.\n\u201cA lot of people do wish to to keep matters amicable with some therefore choosing to divorce relying upon the fact of two years separation with consent and entering into a Separation Agreement in the meantime, in order to resolve the matrimonial finances\u201d.",

        "raw_content": "Pereira chases American soccer dream at Rutgers\n10/05/17 1:45pm Coby Green\nPhoto by Jeffrey Gomez |\nThe Rutgers men\u2019s soccer team corralled itself a new journeyman this season, when it brought goalkeeper Rafael Pereira up to New Jersey and Division I soccer with the Scarlet Knights.\nPereira, a junior from Lisbon, Portugal, started playing soccer when he was just 7 years old. He was in need of an extra afterschool activity to keep him occupied and picked up the sport.\nAlthough Pereira started out as a regular skill player, a year into his soccer career he saw a switch to the goalkeeper position after his team needed a new one during finishing drills.\n\u201cI remember telling myself, 'Well, why not give it a try,' because I had actually played goalie a few times with my classmates in school,\u201d Pereira said. \u201cThe coaches and other players were really impressed at the academy, so from then I\u2019ve been in the goal.\u201d\nFast forward through his formative years in Portugal, Pereira began to take soccer seriously in his junior year of high school at Escola Secundaria de Vergilio Ferreira, when he was 17 years old.\nPereira explained that the system in Portugal differs from the one in the United States. While in the United States colleges have sports teams as well as academics, Portugal only offers either college or professional soccer clubs, but not both.\nThe mindset of Pereira was that although he wanted to pursue his dream of being a professional soccer player, he also wanted to make sure he got a college degree.\n\u201cI knew how the American system (worked) when it came to college soccer and academics working together, so I worked with (recruiting services) to get my highlight reels out there on a networking page,\u201d he said.\nThat was when a coach from Marshalltown Community College in Iowa found Pereira\u2019s videos during the second semester of his senior year, making it a close finish to graduation. Pereira had nearly given up his dream of playing college soccer in America but jumped at the opportunity.\nThe Marshalltown coach explained to Pereira that he could go there for two years and work on his skills and grades before leaving for a Division I or II school afterward. After a stellar two years at Marshalltown, Pereira did just that.\nPereira racked up many accolades over his two years at Marshalltown, including being a two-time NJCAA All-American, a two-time first team All-Region XI and a seven-time ICCAC player of the week. Pereira\u2019s record over the two years was 33-5-3, with 20 shutouts and a 0.56-career goals against average.\n\u201cWhen (Rutgers head) coach (Dan) Donigan and the rest of the coaching staff started recruiting me, they told me that they saw a lot of potential in me and that their previous starting goalie was just drafted, so they were looking for (a) new one,\u201d Pereira said. \u201cBut, nothing was guaranteed and I would have to fight for it.\u201d\nPereira had to battle for the starting goalie position over this past offseason, ultimately beating out three other goalkeepers on the team, who are all New Jersey natives.\nThe first few games were definitely an adjustment period for Pereira, where Rutgers lost three of its first four games, one of which was just an exhibition game, while the other two were against top-five nationwide teams. Adapting from a junior community college to Division I level talent is no easy task for anyone.\n\u201cAs a team, we have the toughest schedule in the nation, but we try to battle with our new and young guys. We can\u2019t forget that,\u201d Pereira said.\nAs the season has progressed, Pereira seems to have adjusted well and has gotten more comfortable with his position. Although the Knights are just 2-8-1 this season, a lot more can be said about the performance of the offensive side of the ball for Rutgers.\nOver the course of the first 11 games, Pereira has brought in 59 saves with a 2.66-goals allowed per game average. The Knights have allowed 30 goals so far this season, while only scoring 12 themselves, but Pereira\u2019s two shutouts remain bright spots on the tough season.\n\u201cWe\u2019ve got to be patient. We know this season isn\u2019t going the way we expected, but we\u2019ve got to continue working hard and win the rest of our games,\u201d Pereira said.\nFor updates on the Rutgers men's soccer team, follow @TargumSports on Twitter.",

In May, 2002, Metro Public Works advised Christ Church Cathedral, corner of Broad & 9th Avenue North, that new sidewalks were to be constructed along Broadway and Ninth Avenue. The Cathedral Archivist and Property Manager requested that careful examination be made for a tombstone of Col. John Maclin, which was described, in 1859, as being \"near the lamp-post\" at the \"corner of Broad & McLemore Street\" (now called 9th Avenue North). Historical research has not located a photograph of the exterior of the church, built in 1894, or pavement surrounding the building which shows a tombstone in the pavement. No tombstone was visible in the sidewalk in 2002. During June, 2002, prior to laying the new sidewalks, Metro Public Works carefully examined the area under the old pavement near the corner and did not find a tombstone.\nBrief history of the corner of Broad & 9th Avenue North (formerly called McLemore): Fletch Coke, Archivist, Christ Church Cathedral. 2002.\nThe lot on which Christ Church Cathedral now stands was originally part of 240 acres granted, in 1794, by the State of North Carolina to the Trustees of Davidson Academy. By 1805, the land was divided into Lots. From 1815 until 1837, ten acres were owned by John C. McLemore. In 1843, Thomas Maney acquired 1 \u00bd acres, from McLemore\u2019s ten acres, including the appurtenances (house & outbuildings), garden and stable lot, located on Broad and McLemore. In 1859, during the residency of Judge Thomas Maney and his family on this property, historian A.W. Putnam wrote in History of Middle Tennessee, \"The headstone which used to stand at the grave of Col. John Maclin, now lies in the pavement, near the lamp-post, corner of Broad and McLemore Street.\"\nPersons with additional information about Col.

        "raw_content": "PoliticsWhat Went Down\nChelsea Manning in conversation with James Bridle at the ICAvia Twitter (@JuliaKMichalska)\nNine key points from Chelsea Manning\u2019s first UK appearance\nThe whistleblower, campaigner and technologist talks social media and AI, the prison system, and how to be a better activist\nYesterday, Chelsea Manning made her first public appearance in the UK. The whistleblower, who went to prison for leaking state secrets while in the military, spoke at length with artist and writer James Bridle, discussing surveillance, protest, trans rights, and machine learning.\nSpeaking at the ICA\u2019s event at London\u2019s Royal Institution, the former U.S soldier told the audience about her thoughts on the future of AI, social media, the police state and issues with the prison industrial complex. Manning was later honoured at the annual Friends of the ICA dinner later that evening.\nShe served seven years in a military prison for leaking government documents, but her 35 year sentence was commuted by then-president Obama, and she was released in 2017. Manning has been a long-standing advocate for queer and transgender rights, and a vocal campaigner on the prison system, police brutality, and the ethical use of artificial intelligence.\nHere\u2019s what went down at Chelsea\u2019s talk:\nSHE LIKENED LIFE IN THE U.S TO PRISON\nManning spent seven years in prison from 2010 to 2017 for violations of the Espionage Act and other offenses after disclosing military documents, first at the Quantico base in Virginia, and then in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Her sentenced was reduced by several months because of the conditions she endured in Virginia, which were denounced by the UN as a form of torture. Manning spent prolonged periods of time in solitary confinement \u2013 right now, 80,000 to 100,000 people are currently in solitary confinement conditions.\nSpeaking at the event, she told the audience that her idea of life outside jail was not how she expected.\n\u201cI am constantly bombarded by reminders about how different, about how drastically different the world really is,\u201d Manning siad. \u201cThis whole notion that you get out of prison and you are free now turned out to be a bit of a downer in that sense.\n\u201cBecause what happened, we really built this large, big prison, which is the United States, in the meantime \u2013 it was already happening, it really intensified.\n\u201cYou think about the surveillance systems, the cameras, or the police presence, and you think about the fact that we have walls around our country, and that is very much the same thing that\u2019s inside a prison. I see a lot of similarities between the world out here, and the world that was in there.\u201d\nSHE SPOKE ABOUT NAVIGATING THE WORLD AS A TRANS WOMAN\nWhile she was in prison, Manning went through gender transition, and campaigned for transgender healthcare for prisoners and beyond.\n\u201cSomehow I often find myself having to debate my own existence with people. I don\u2019t have the long-term solution, but it comes back to what local activists are doing,\u201d she said.\n\u201cBeing trans, I have an experience that a lot of people don\u2019t have. All I expect and all I hope for is that people listen to what I have to say about that.\u201d\nWhen asked by an audience member about the lack of funding in the NHS for transgender people to access surgeries, she suggested people set up GoFundMe and crowdfunding campaigns to rely less on national institutions.\nManning also addressed trans equality and how she sees things playing out. \u201cI think there\u2019s a misunderstanding \u2013 we may be a lot more visible, but visibility is not the same thing as equality. Just because you\u2019re being seen, doesn\u2019t mean you aren\u2019t dealing with some of the same issues.\u201d\nMANNING TALKED ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF INTERSECTIONALITY IN TIMES OF DIVISION\nThe activist spoke emphatically about the need for intersectionality and inclusivity, adding that the plight of many marginalized people in the United States is facilitated by the same forces. \u201cTrans people and immigrant people have paperwork problems,\u201d she said, \u201cwe\u2019re affected by the same system, so there needs to be solidarity and a sense of working together.\u201d\nchilling in london on this fine day \ud83c\udfa1\ud83c\udf08\ud83d\udc95 @ICALondonpic.twitter.com/JdXVcrmXdd\n\u2014 Chelsea E. Manning (@xychelsea) October 1, 2018\n\u2018IT\u2019S NOT A KNOWLEDGE PROBLEM, IT\u2019S AN ACTION PROBLEM\u2019\nManning asserted that the general public is pretty tuned in with regards to the issues of AI, social media, and surveillance. It\u2019s everywhere in popular culture, of course \u2013 Ex Machina, Sophia the Robot, apps on our phone, the rants of Elon Musk on our Twitter timelines. Though we\u2019re tuned in, what we should be doing to mitigate issues or problems isn\u2019t so clear, according to Manning. \u201cIt\u2019s not a knowledge problem, it\u2019s an action problem.\u201d\n\u201cWe don\u2019t need to have a full understanding to see this system is having a major affect.\u201d\nON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND MACHINE LEARNING\n\u201cWe need to be asking the deeper, fundamental questions to see real change. Who is behind the tools? There\u2019s someone behind the curtain with algorithms. Who interprets them? Who develops them?\u201d Manning said.\nThe activist and technologist outlined that we must think about the ethical consequences of systems, and instill a sense of responsibility in the people making these programs. \u201cIn the same way a doctor has a responsibility to a patient, machine learning developers are affecting people, millions of people, in what can also be life and death situations. The constraints should be the equivalent, if not higher.\u201d\nManning referenced the scientists from the Manhattan Project \u2013 undertaken during World War II in the U.S, UK and Canada to develop the first atomic bomb. She claimed that as many of the scientists on that project later became critics of nuclear development and technology, there should be checks and balances, safety and policy surrounding humanity-affecting tech.\nOn working on AI herself, she said: \u201cI get this chilling feeling sometimes, working with algorithms\u2026it\u2019s an inorganic life form.\u201d\nUltimately though, she claims that technology is \u201cof no inherent value from a moral perspective\u201d \u2013 technology is neither good nor bad nor neutral, it\u2019s whatever we put into it. That\u2019s why we need more transparency and democratized control over the future.\n\"The most violent people in prison are the prison guards. I see no good coming from that\" #chelseamanningICA\n\u2014 ICA (@ICALondon) October 1, 2018\nON RUNNING FOR SENATE\nBack in June, Manning was defeated in the democratic primary for the Maryland senate seat. She ran in January, in a bid to become the first transgender member of Congress. \u201cIf you run for office in America you\u2019re given a platform, a space to make debate,\u201d she said. \u201cA lot of the ideas I had in my campaign weren\u2019t reall seen anywhere else \u2013 ICE, defunding police departments, universal basic income. I wanted to bring these issues out, using a traditional method to do something not traditional.\u201d\nTHE COMMODIFICATION OF ACTIVISM TODAY\nManning said that the commodification of activism by corporations has been something she\u2019s \u201cstruggled\u201d to deal with. \u201cThere\u2019s always a temptation to sell out,\u201d she admitted. \u201cBut I\u2019ve a lot of problems with the idea that an existing large company will lift you up and then expect something from you, or tone down your message.\u201d She directly referenced the recent Nike campaign with Colin Kaepernick, the football player who knelt during the U.S national anthem in protest against police brutality. \u201cUsing a political statement or reality to sell shoes isn\u2019t necessarily going to solve anything. It tends to water down a message.\u201d\n\"There's an expectation that somebody is going to come and fix it, none of these things are going to be addressed, that's not going to happen, you can't expect a broken system to fix itself, you have to provoke it to change\" #chelseamanningICA\nON BEING AN ACTIVIST AND INCITING CHANGE\nManning spoke passionately about the plight of prisoners, particularly in the U.S. \u201cPrisoners aren\u2019t visible to everyone, and that makes it hard to do advocacy work,\u201d she said. \u201cI need to be a part of this conversation, as I thought I was going to be in there for the rest of my life.\u201d\nManning also asserted that protesting, direct action and keeping in tune with current issues is made deliberately difficult by the system we live in. \u201cYou\u2019re not supposed to see the bigger picture. It\u2019s meant to stay large and vast\u2026 you can stay in your little reality bubble, but once something penetrates that bubble, it\u2019s impossible to return.\u201d\nShe also spoke about the multiple activists groups by students and local communities she had visited, praising them as examples of grassroots movements that are invoking real change. Manning added that activism is becoming more textured and broader, far from just signing online petitions, chants, and voting. \u201cThese communities really know what the issues are, but are largely ignored for the federal government, who are distanced from the real political conversations,\u201d she said.\nON TAKING POWER AWAY FROM INTERNET PROVIDERS\nManning\u2019s major lesson for the audience was to advocate for decentralising the internet \u2013 basically, taking away the power and influence of big internet providers and platforms and sharing it out. They can\u2019t fix themselves, so we have to push back. \u201cWe must create a new structure,\u201d she said, directly calling out Facebook, Google and Twitter as the core problem. \u201cDecentralise it and making it more of a level playing field for folks.\u201d\n\u201cReduce the role they play, and increase the role we play.\u201d\nPoliticsWhat Went DownChelsea Manning",

        "raw_content": "Home > Why and How of the 51st State > Why the 51st State\nWhy Statehood\nFull CItizenship = Statehood\nFugitive slave, abolitionist, civil rights activist, suffragist, writer-publisher, presidential adviser, ambassador and DC resident Frederick Douglass defined \"complete citizenship\" as \"the right to vote and be voted for in the American Republic.\"\nDespite a series of amendments to the Constitution and other laws designed to protect and expand Americans' right to vote, there has never been a national right to vote. Nor has there ever been a national right to locally elected government, for that matter. These rights are granted to the states. In other words, they are rights which are achieved through statehood. Americans living in Alaska Territory, pre-statehood Hawaii and earlier territories-turned-states (the overwhelming majority of the former territories which make up the 50 states) recognized this in the past. Before statehood, the decisions of federally appointed officials stood, however necessary and compassionate or ill-informed and arbitrary. These Americans gained their full citizenship when they gained statehood.\nAlternatives to Statehood\nIn the 40+ years since DC was granted limited Home Rule in 1973, establishing an elected city council and mayor after a century of appointed officials -- but maintaining Congressional oversight and veto power over local legislation -- a variety of reforms have been proposed. Along with Statehood, these have included:\na Constitutional amendment to grant the District two voting senators and one voting representative in the 1970s and 1980s;\nCongressional legislation to grant DC a single representative to the House of Representatives in the 1990s and 2000s;\nCongressional legislation authorizing retrocession, or return, of the residential and commercial areas of the District of Columbia to Maryland (proposed at various times up to the present day).\nWhile retrocession, like Statehood, would give DC residents the rights that people in the 50 states enjoy, this measure requires approval by the governments of both Maryland and the District of Columbia. The majority of District and Maryland residents oppose retrocession for a variety of reasons. Retrocession is frequently discussed as a remedy in Congress, but is never recommended by any member from Maryland.\nA Constitutional amendment granting the District two Senators and a Representative (while maintaining Congressional oversight over the DC government) was passed by Congress in 1978. The proposal failed after too few states voted to ratify the amendment within a 7-year time limit (three-fourths of the state legislatures -- 38 states -- having been required by 1985).\nCongressional legislation to give the District a single vote in the House of Representatives, introduced repeatedly during the 1990s and 2000s, may or may not be constitutional (there has been a good deal of debate about this). Such legislation would, of course, provide no representation in the Senate, along with the powers that voting members in the Senate bring, or any greater measure of independence for the District's local government.\nAs long as the District's borders remain as they are today, the Constitution's District Clause will continue to subject the residents of Washington, DC to Congressional interference, as highlighted in debates over stalled DC budget autonomy legislation (2010-present); a failed attempt to block the District from decriminalizing marijuana (2012-14); a budget rider intended to overturn a ballot initiative approving the legalization of marijuana (failed) and prohibiting the DC government from taking actions to regulate marijuana (successful) (2014); an amendment to DC's FY 2015 budget prohibiting enforcement of any local gun control laws; a House resolution blocking a DC law on reproductive choice non-discrimination (2015); and a House FY 17 DC appropriations bill including each of the amendments previously mentioned regarding budget autonomy, marijuana, abortion and reproductive choice non-discrimination law (2016, soon to be pending before the Senate). Absent statehood, Congress reserves the right to overturn any local law.\nStatehood is the Answer\nUnlike other proposed reforms, an Admission Act, passed by a majority in each house of Congress, then signed by the President, is not vulnerable to repeal. The admission of the 51st State, granting DC residents the rights that Americans in the 50 states enjoy, cannot be repealed by a future Congress.\nStatehood is the only remedy which has been approved by District voters. Most recently, 86% of DC voters voted for statehood in a referendum in November, 2016.\n200 years ago, President James Monroe observed in his second annual message to Congress (1818):\nAs [Congress' exclusive power over the District] is a departure, for a special purpose, from the general principles of our system, it might merit consideration whether an arrangement better adapted to the principles of our government and to the particular interests of the people may not be devised which would neither infringe the Constitution nor affect the object which the provision in question was meant to secure.\nThat \"better arrangement\" is statehood. By separating the residential and commercial territory of the District of Columbia from the territory of the federal government, we can preserve an independent jurisdiction for the federal government as defined in the Constitution while finally providing full citizenship to the people of the District of Columbia through a simple vote in Congress, following the same process used to admit 37 other territories into the union.",

Think of the 50 shares mentioned in the Nifty, on the 17th green mark, 32 were seen on the red mark and a non-transformation business. At the same time, both the mid-cap and the small-stock Nifty index are falling in the index. The Nifty\u2019s mid-cap is trading 0.25 percent and the downturn is 0.14 percent.\nIf you talk about the sectoral index, you are trading in all red marks except IT. Nifty Auto dropped by 0.03%, Nifty Finance Services down 0.20%, Nifty FMCG dropped 0.86%, Nifty metal dropped 0.19%, Nifty Pharma 0.24% and Nifty Reality 0.07% fall. .\nSEBI came in front of changes in KYC rules\nMUMBAI: Market regulator SEBI has come out openly to protest against the proposed changes in KYC regulations by a lobby of Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPI). SEBI said that the claim of $ 75 billion (5.25 lakh crore) investment from this regulatory move is completely \u2018flawless and irresponsible\u2019. Significantly, some FPI had expressed concern over the proposed changes in the rules. SEBI has already given additional time to comply with these policies.\nHowever, a lobby group Asset Management Roundtable of India (AMRI) had said on Monday that the $ 75 billion investment made by the Overseas Citizens of India, Person of Indian Origin and Non Resident Indians, by applying new rules, will be invested in India. And this fund will run out of India in a very short period of time. This organization has also warned that it will have serious impact on stock and rupee.\nExpressing serious objection to these claims, the Securities and Exchange Board of India, in a statement released in the morning, said, \u201cIt is a disproportionate and extremely irresponsible claim that the investment of $ 75 billion due to the circular issued by SEBI in April, 2016 \u201cSebi has given a list of its Beneficiary Owners in a fixed format within 6 months from the FPI of category II and 3 in April. Although the deadline last month was delayed by December 2 and they were assured that these issues would be raised in the Expert panel.\nTCS joins 8 lakh crore club\nMumbai-Information Technology Company Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) becomes the second Indian company with market capitalization of Rs 8 lakh crore The stock of the company rose by 2% on Tuesday to the highest level of Rs 2,094. This increased the company\u2019s valuation to 8.02 lakh crore for the first time. Earlier on August 23, Reliance Industries had achieved this position. Reliance\u2019s market capitalization remained around Rs 7.87 lakh crore on Tuesday.\nTCS became the sole company on June 15 that reached the level of market valuation of Rs 7 lakh crore during the trading session. In the case of valuation, TCS had touched the market cap of Rs 6 lakh crore last year. Along with that, he became the second company to touch this level after the RIL.\nOn May 25, TCS\u2019s market capitalization reached Rs 7 lakh crore for the first time. However, the market remained closed at 6.87 trillion rupees. After 20 days, on June 15, the company again crossed the 7 lakh crore mark. That day, with the valuation of 7.05 lakh crores, the business in the stock market ended. TCS shares rose 70 percent in the last one year. From January till now it has been 58 percent. Its investors had 22% in the last three months and 6% in one month. After Tuesday\u2019s rise, the stock reached a new 52-week high This year, the rupee declined by more than 10 percent. TCS is the flagship company of Tata Group.\nPowered by WordPress | Theme Designed by: http://www.siter43dsx.com | Thanks to r43dsde.com, 801v.com and http://www.jatekvilag.org",

        "raw_content": "Beware getting too stressed in the evening\nBy Tim Sandle Dec 2, 2018 in Health\nStress is associated with a number of ill-health effects. However, time that stress occurs during a 24-hour cycle appears to exert different effects and this has implications for longer-term health, with stress occurring at night being more dangerous.\nJapanese researchers have discovered that stressful events in the evening tend to release less of the body's stress hormones than an equivalent event that takes place in the morning. The research suggests a greater vulnerability to stress in the evening. The implications of this are not only for general stress management, they also extend to times of working, such as nightshift activities.\nMost animals have adapted to a day-night cycle by evolution of internal circadian clocks. This mechanism adjusts behaviour and physiology to the recurring changes in environmental conditions. One function of the internal body clock is with the regulation of the stress response.\nTo examine the impact of stressful events at night compared with the day, the researchers recruited 27 volunteers, pre-assessed of being of average health. The volunteers worked standard 9-to-5 hours and had good sleep patterns. The researchers aimed to see whether the hypothalamic -pituitary-adrenal axis responds differently to acute psychological stress according to different times of the day. The axis connects together the central nervous and endocrine systems of the body.\nIt has previously been established that cortisol, the main stress hormone in humans, is released for several hours when the axis is activated during a stressful event. The release of this hormone assists the body with energy during a stressful situation. Cortisol levels are regulated by the circadian clock. These levels are high in the morning and low in the evening.\nThe researchers took samples of saliva and established the rhythm of salivary cortisol levels in the volunteer subjects. One group of volunteers were exposed to a stress event during the morning and the second groups were exposed to a stress event during the evening (at a time point after the subjects had been awake for ten hours). The stress event was running a presentation in front of a camera.\nWhile the heart rates of the volunteers were similar, the cortisol levels varied considerably between day (higher) and night-time (lower). The data, assessed by researchers who were from Hokkaido University, suggests that human body's central system reacts less strongly to acute psychological stress when occurs in the evening compared with the morning. These findings have implications for health and wellbeing.\nThe findings have been published in the journal Neuropsychopharmacology Reports. The research is titled \u201cHypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis differentially responses to morning and evening psychological stress in healthy subjects.\u201d\nMore about Stress, Body, Circadian, shift work\nStress Body Circadian shift work",

        "title": "The Eagles, Live in Bangkok, February 20, 2011",
        "raw_content": "So I was heading to Bangkok, Thailand, a couple of weeks ago, nothing new there, and I knew I\u2019d be away over my birthday (Sunday Feb 20), also not an uncommon occurrence. My plan to celebrate was to take some time to indulge in my intermittent rock music research and writing endeavor. On the plane over, I decided I would focus first on The Eagles, a band I\u2019ve always liked and admired, but wanted to learn more about, especially their more recent (reunited again) ventures.\nUpon arrival in Thailand, I was glancing at the Bangkok Post, when I was assaulted by a large advertisement: \u201cThe Eagles, performing Live in Bangkok, Sunday, Feb. 20, 2011\u201d!! Even though this kind of coincidence seems to happen to me all the time, this one truly blew me away. Naturally, it became my purpose in life to find a ticket to this concert and attend on my birthday. In between, I spent a few days in Cambodia, and a colleague from Thailand offered to help find me a ticket. This became a stressful ordeal, as the concert website first said it was sold out, then there were tickets available but it wouldn\u2019t process my credit card, then the number of tickets was dwindling\u2026\nIn the end, after returning to Bangkok on Saturday, I decided to go very early to the concert venue on Sunday, to see if I could buy a ticket right at the box office. This was also stressful, as anyone who\u2019s taken a taxi through Bangkok traffic can attest. The show was scheduled for the Impact Arena, Bangkok\u2019s most modern and prestigious combination concert and convention center. I showed up at about 12:00 noon; the concert was scheduled for 8:00 PM. After wandering the massive hallways of the center for awhile, witnessing a huge Amway convention occupying the main building together with furniture, jewelry, flower and other big shows, I finally located the Arena ticket office. My luck held, as there was one \u201cVIP\u201d ticket still available (don\u2019t ask the price), and after some further tense delays while their machine hiccupped, I had accomplished my mission: I was going to see the Eagles perform, from a very good seat no less\u2026 seven hours and counting.\nAs a world-weary traveler, I know what it is to wait, for long, boring periods in airports, airplanes, taxi\u2019s, hotel rooms, etc. This was the first time I had to kill 7 hours in a convention center. Luckily it was air conditioned, as the heat outside was brutal. But on the whole, this was a new form of torture. For one thing, I stood out so obviously, as virtually the only white/Western person in a sea of Thai\u2019s who were mostly about a foot shorter than I am. And I didn\u2019t exactly have a lot in common with the Amway attendees. So I basically wandered back and forth all day, between the couple of food courts, the conventions, and the outside of the Arena, where souvenir and other concert-related stands were being set up.\nAt least some of the food was civilized: they had a McDonald\u2019s, Dunkin\u2019 Donuts, KFC\u2026 Here\u2019s a tip if you eat at KFC in Thailand: what they call \u201cmild\u201d is what we call \u201cspicy\u201d, and what they call \u201cspicy\u201d is what we call \u201cOh my God my mouth is on fire!\u201d. And they\u2019re all out of \u201cmild\u201d.\nAs the hour of the concert mercifully neared, I made my way to the VIP \u201clounge\u201d, which was basically just some tables and chairs roped off outside the Arena, where people like me who paid an extra 30 bucks could get a free beer and stand around feeling special. The best thing going on, however, was nearby where a local radio station was sponsoring a contest among Thai guitar players. Some of these guys were just fantastic. One 20-something young man was playing the solo/duet finale to \u201cHotel California\u201d so precisely perfect that I was sure he was just air-guitaring it. But I looked and listened closer, and no, he was hitting every note and bent string for real. He got a rousing ovation.\nI finally went into the Arena about 45 minutes before showtime, just to have a place to sit down. It was pretty cozy, like a college basketball gym, and my seat was about 75 feet from the stage. I saw the same awesome guitar player come in and sit down nearby, so I went up to him and congratulated him on his awesomeness. He stared at me like I frightened him, but his girlfriend at least said \u201ckhob-kun-ka\u201d (\u201cthank you\u201d). By now a few dozen white farangs (foreigners) had begun to filter into the crowd, but it was still overwhelmingly Thai, and fairly young for the most part: teens to twenty-somethings who weren\u2019t even born when the Eagles were in their heyday.\nIf you\u2019ve been wondering when I\u2019d get to the actual review of the music, here it is. This was a great, great concert! My level of appreciation for the Eagles\u2019 talent, diversity, originality, and professionalism is now exponentially higher. This was the first show on this new World Tour, so we were perhaps fortunate to get an even more fresh taste of their performing energy, as they sure pulled out all the stops to please absolutely all their fans.\nI had predicted that they\u2019d start the show with \u201cThe Long Run,\u201d which seemed sort of appropriate to their longevity, but they surprised me. The lights came up and there were Don Henley, Glen Frye, Joe Walsh, and Timothy Schmit sitting on chairs with only acoustic guitars, and they opened with an a-capella rendition of \u201cSeven Bridges Road\u201d. Right away I was taken aback by the range and precision of their vocal harmonies, which would recur throughout the performance: every bit as good as Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, I\u2019d say. They stuck with the acoustic, country-folk material for a couple more songs, adding electric guitar from a backing guitarist on \u201cHow Long\u201d from their most recent (final?) album, 2007\u2019s Long Road Out of Eden, which is also the title of the tour.\nThe band finally stood up and were joined by several backing musicians as they grabbed electric guitars and Henley sat behind the drums (revealing my ignorance of his versatility), and following a mellow trumpet solo intro, they launched into \u201cHotel California\u201d itself, to the delight of the entire audience. I thought this was a bit surprising, too, as I would have expected them to save their most famous hit for near the concert\u2019s finale. I had an impression that Henley may be just a little tired of the song and wanted to get it out of the way early, although he sang it with all the gusto you could ask. Joe Walsh and the other guitarist nailed the climactic guitar duet with the same perfection as my Thai virtuoso, bringing down the house, not for the last time this evening.\nIf you\u2019re at all an Eagles fan, or even just a popular music lover who\u2019s been around since the 1970s or so, you\u2019re undoubtedly familiar with at least a half-dozen Eagles hits. I made a mental list of about 10 songs I was sure they\u2019d play, and a few I hoped they would, and throughout the 3+ hour show I was not disappointed. What surprised me was how many more Eagles songs I knew and liked, as they delivered a virtually non-stop Greatest Hits barrage. Some of the many highlights:\nSuperb harmonizing on favorites such as \u201cWitchy Woman,\u201d and \u201cLyin\u2019 Eyes\u201d, the latter with the full accompaniment of basically the entire audience.\n\u201cBest of My Love\u201d and \u201cTake It to the Limit\u201d, played acoustic back-to-back, which Glen Frye unnecessarily introduced as \u201cour first #1 record,\u201d and \u201cour first million seller,\u201d as if they needed the advertising.\n\u201cI Can\u2019t Tell You Why,\u201d one of several slower love songs performed by bass player Timothy Schmit, who seemed to have a special connection with the fans. He had learned a few phrases in Thai, which delighted the crowd when he introduced his songs. And they seemed emotionally engaged by his sweet serenading, possibly even more than on most of the more rocking tunes.\nJoe Walsh\u2019s featured numbers included \u201cIn the City\u201d and \u201cLife\u2019s Been Good\u201d, which allowed him to showcase his undiminished lead guitar skills as well as goofball stage antics, although I felt that somehow his material was not quite as appreciated as the others\u2019.\nThe best revelation of the night for me was the powerful title track to \u201cLong Road Out of Eden\u201d. It\u2019s an epic, 10-minute power ballad, with slow, building movements, rising from mellow folk strains to wailing electric guitar and back again. Henley\u2019s lyrics are some of his most pointed ever, as he subtly indicts modern American culture:\n\u201cWeavin\u2019 down the American highway\nThrough the litter and the wreckage and the cultural junk\nBloated on entitlement and propaganda\nNow we\u2019re drivin\u2019 dazed and drunk\n\u2026It\u2019s hard to stop the binge-ing once you get a taste\nBut the road to empire is a blood stupid waste\u2026\u201d\nThroughout the show, large video screens behind and beside the stage showed close-ups of the musicians along with some theme imagery for certain songs. The close-ups revealed the undeniable: these guys are getting old. (Aren\u2019t we all?) Don Henley looks like he may have had a few face-lifts. Glen Frye bears a scary resemblance to Jerry (Frank Castanza) Stiller. And Joe Walsh is just seriously ugly: his long blonde hair and bulbous nose are a stark contrast to his high-pitched voice. But God bless \u2018em for keeping the energy and the spirit of their music alive.\nThe background video was especially useful on a few songs. For \u201cDirty Laundry,\u201d Henley\u2019s biting putdown of trash news media, it displayed a non-stop series of images from real-world TV and newspapers, with heavy emphasis on Fox News commentators. On the rocking \u201cHeartache Tonight,\u201d it featured silent movie era clips of women slapping men and other lovers\u2019 quarrels. For the climactic \u201cLife in the Fast Lane,\u201d there were sped-up images of cars on highways and crowds of people, interspersed with scenes of anthills and beehives.\nThe Thai audience, even though they had remained seated throughout the show, had no problem embracing the ritual of standing, cheering and chanting for an encore once the band left the stage. The Eagles gladly obliged, to even louder cheers, thanking all of Thailand for the great time they had spent there. I correctly guessed that the encores would be the upbeat \u201cTake It Easy\u201d and Henley\u2019s soft ballad \u201cDesperado\u201d. Not a tough call, since they had exhausted virtually all their other hits by now, with those two conspicuous absences.\n\u201cTake It Easy\u201d was fun, but I was a little unprepared for \u201cDesperado\u201d as the finale. The Eagles know their fans, it seems, even in Thailand. The second the first strains of the piano intro began, the entire audience erupted into ecstatic cheers. Henley stood alone at center stage as he sang his plaintive ode to a lonely companion. Everyone sang along to lyrics they apparently all knew by heart, even those who could barely speak English. On the final verse, he held the microphone out to the crowd, so they could contribute the chorus, \u201cLet somebody love you\u201d. When he concluded, the arena let loose with even louder cheers, and the band seemed to truly appreciate how much they were beloved by these thousands of people half a world and two generations removed away from their origins.\nIt\u2019s been a long time since I\u2019ve experienced such an enthusiastic and uplifting connection between musicians and fans, and I got caught up in it, too. It\u2019s an amazing phenomenon, this rock \u2018n\u2019 roll, what it\u2019s created and keeps alive, literally around the world.\nDNT@dntownsend.com",

        "raw_content": "I\u2019ve been in the service industry for more than half of my life, and one of the most common questions I\u2019ve been asked is \u201cSo what else do you do?\u201d Or maybe \u201cWhat\u2019s your real job?\u201d As if what I\u2019m already doing isn\u2019t quite enough. Well, everyone, I hate to break it to you, but this has been and still is all I do. I mean, don\u2019t get me wrong, I\u2019m motivated to succeed and create. I\u2019ve accomplished a lot of other things in my life, but they were all to further my career, body, mind, and community. I don\u2019t count those as a real job.\nBarely anyone in human history has moonlighted as an architect to get through bartending school, right? It seems to me that architecture and surgery are two things that one cannot simply be \u201cgood at\u201d without training. Bar work does not share that quality\u2014and I mean that at the most basic level. Basic surgery takes years of schooling, while basic bartending takes a smile and a watch. Therefore, I don\u2019t know how to take your question. Are you saying that bartending is and can only possibly be a stepping stone for any reasonable human being, or do you mean to say that I\u2019m so smart, charming, and good-looking that I absolutely must be doing something better with my time. Or maybe you\u2019re just hitting on me. Which is totally fine.\nThe fact that bartending hasn\u2019t lately been a career is in no way an indication of its inability to be one in the future. Or now. The architecture of the human body is deigned better for standing, squatting, or laying than it is for sitting. If I were to say that ten years at a desk job are better for your body than ten years of running around behind a bar, I\u2019d be unsure of the statement\u2019s truth. Maybe ten years of binge drinking are worse for your body, yes\u2014for sure. But as trained professionals who aren\u2019t as focused on consuming the product as we are on properly distributing it, we can make it a long term gig. And we can do it just as well as any other profession.\nLet\u2019s say a CPA works for accounting firms for 15 years and is simply tired of getting up too early every day, and staying late at work. He\u2019s tired of being nearly a bottom-rung punching bag for everyone in the world trying to pay less taxes, and all on time. Now let\u2019s say a bartender bartends for 15 years, and is simply tired from being up too late and getting up too early. She\u2019s tired of being an emotional dumping ground and at the whim of those trying to get a drink expediently. Every job, at it\u2019s basic level, eventually creates a desire to climb up the ladder.\nAs an accountant, she has the options of becoming a financial advisor or partnering up on her own accounting firm. This will likely yield more money, but at a larger risk and require a much larger skillset and knowledge base. Maybe even a good reputation. As a bartender, he has the options of becoming a bar consultant, brand ambassador, liquor rep, or maybe even partnering up in his own bar. This will likely yield more money, but at a larger risk, and require a much larger skillset and knowledge base. Definitely a reputation. Hopefully a good one!\nYou probably see what I\u2019m getting at, here. Yes, you can open a dive bar and hire happy people to work for you. This requires not much more than motivation and cash. But you can also open a low-level tax shop with not much other than the above. The base-level employees and shops will always be accessible, while the trained and educated versions of each take motivation, passion, education, and experience. I do not mean to demean dive bars or tax shops. There is an important place in the world for each, and they can, per se, be careers as well. However, those shooting for constant progress in any field are trying really, really hard to be better and smarter. All the time. Everything at first is a stepping stone\u2014and likely everything you do after that is quite the same. In my case, though, bar gigs are both the means and the end.\nWe take steps to better ourselves, as career bartenders. We ingest less of our product out of boredom or addiction. If we\u2019re to ingest spirits, we\u2019re likely trying to learn something from them (most of the time). We go home at night and read books about spirits, beer, wine, and business management. We research cocktail methods and the physics behind them. We interact with one another and share knowledge. We plan out the next day\u2019s experiments and predict the problems that will occur during service so that we can better fix them. We do it for ourselves, but in reality we do it for you. If you don\u2019t have a good experience, we don\u2019t have a good night. We, quite literally, have crippling nightmares about our failures. Barmares are the worst.\nThis is the exact reason I\u2019ve fallen in love with this industry: no one wins unless everyone wins. There\u2019s something really romantic about that mandatorily shared victory. It all seems frivolous, but somewhere deep in our cultural or genetic history, there\u2019s a need for socialization and intoxication. Usually, in conjunction with one another. It\u2019s quite beautiful. It\u2019s social lubricant. It\u2019s human!\nI\u2019m a bartender, and I have been for a long time. I may have been born with it, or it may have been an accident. I\u2019m constantly aiming to learn and grow. I consult with and for others in our industry, and I will take on more responsibility. I will seek more knowledge. I will make sure your drinks are better each day, and I\u2019ll make sure that I know your preferences each time you stand or sit at my bar. I\u2019ll greet you with a smile, and I\u2019ll not push you to do anything you don\u2019t want to do. Hell, I may even talk you out of pushing it a bit too hard! I interact with dozens of people every single day, and all I want to do is learn from it. I\u2019ll keep that creepy guy away from you, or at least distract him.\nI am dynamic. I am motivated. I am more than any one thing I do, and I\u2019m more than the sum of them. I\u2019m here to help, and it\u2019s all I do. It\u2019s all I want to do. I am a bartender, and this is my real job.\nalso published to 585 Magazine & USBG.org\ntagged with bartending, job, real, career, passion, adult",

        "raw_content": "Branding Has More Value Than SEO\nSearch Engine Optimization. It\u2019s an important tool in the belt of any website administration whom is attempting to bring up the page ranking for their website. A good SEO manager knows the importance and the power behind a healthy keyword portfolio that is able to out keyword the rest of the competing websites. Whether that keyword is something like \u2018receipt template word\u2019 for a invoice template website or something else, it takes trial and error in order to find the right series of keywords that are utilized most frequently by users querying the targeted search engine \u2013 most often Google or Bing.\nOf course this is why data is sold so often by third party applications that are plugged into the browser. This sort of information is exactly the treasure trove that marketers are looking for when they buy the data. Being able to turn off Google\u2019s search engine history must be a source of contention among these data brokers who scrape all that history in hopes of finding key data that their clients are purchasing. Still, it can be something of guesswork too which shouldn\u2019t be discounted. Looking at the data of the competition can also give a semblance of an idea as to what keywords they might be using.\nThis is also why the importance of branding a website cannot be understated. Without a name to attach to the keywords or even the website, users won\u2019t recognize it. I can\u2019t count the number of times I\u2019ve Googled a website simply by keywords because I wasn\u2019t able to recall the name of the site in question. In order to gain repeat visitors and customers through word of mouth, branding is where that success will be able to occur. A memorable website is far more valuable than a series of keywords.\nPrevious Previous post: All Content at the Start\nNext Next post: Best Site for Good Torrents",

So even though the baby might get more attention sometimes, the parents still spend time with just the big brother. Your parents aren't going to forget about you or love you less when they have a baby.\nBabies may need more attention, but big brothers get more perks.\nYou would think he would be too short to see over the wheel anyway.\nIt's fun because it's interactive, but the only problem is, if you have a contrarian kid who decides to say yes, it doesn't work. Other than that, it's fun, and as the book says, it allows the little kid to say \"no\" and be more or less rewarded for it, which is kind of good because toddlers like to say \"no\" to many things despite not being in control.\nSometimes life hands you lemons.\nAlexander's problems are real things that kids deal with, and mostly things that everybody deals with. Everybody has bad days, and it's something that kids could identify with and see that they're not alone. They'd be able to say, \"I'm having a bad day just like Alexander.\"\nEverybody has bad days sometimes.\nEdgar's Second Word\nCome on, baby! Get with the program!\nI can really identify with this. As the mother of two little boys, one of whom is not yet talking, and the other of whom doesn't use complete sentences, I'm still waiting for some of this. For conversations. For him to ask, \"Why?\" It's happening. It's happening slowly. And every step along the way is precious, but still frustrating occasionally.\nBe patient with babies. It'll pay off.\nBasically it's got a pretty strong, but not anvilicious message of \"don't let people get to you.\" All you need is one person to help you with your dream.\nDon't let other people dissuade you from following your dreams.\nGive and ye shall receive.\nThe guy's generous, and he gets rewarded for it, in kind of a realistic manner. It's a little exaggerated, but basically he gives everything he has, and what he has gets broken, and then fixed by the thankful recipients.\nBe generous. Help other people out.\nPoetic poem is poetic.\nIt's cute. It's got an inclusive message without being over the top, which is pretty nice.\nWe're all in this together. Or, look at the world from different perspectives.\nWatching the text play across the page.\nThere's not a lot to it, but it doesn't seem like it's trying to be more than it is.

        "title": "In the Studio \u2013 LOW | Duplex",
        "raw_content": "In the Studio \u2013 LOW\nFebruary is going to be an exciting month around here especially with our first group show, LOW, in the gallery. This group of PNCA graduate students have put together an incredible show, and we cannot wait to see it come together! We were able to talk a little bit more with these guys about the concept behind LOW and how each of them approached the theme.\nDuplex: Can each of you give a brief bio of where you\u2019re from, your selected media for the show and a quick introduction to your work.\nLeif Lee: I was born and raised in Bellinham WA, I moved to Olympia WA in 2001 where I lived until moving to Portland OR for graduate studies at PNCA in the fall of 2012. Growing up in the Pacific Northwest has been a defining influence of my work. The Northwest punk & independent music scene, rainforest landscapes, and Olympia\u2019s queer & feminist politics heavily saturate my psyche. I have selected fabric in a palate of black, white and gold, metallic threads & studs to create sculptures that will be installed in the window of the gallery.\nEvan Isoline: Born and raised in Denver, CO. I received a fine art degree in printmaking from Colorado State University in 2009. From there I apprenticed at Open Press Studio, Denver\u2019s seminal fine art printmaking studio, under master printmaker Mark Lunning for 3 years. For LOW I am working with three 24\u201d X 36\u201d archival inkjet prints on polyester. The images are three full-bleed close-ups of male torsos, appropriated from fashion ads, stretched, draped and pinned into black wooden boxes. The title is \u2018Golgotha\u2019. This work will share formal and conceptual principles with past work involving the distortion, abstraction, defacement and evisceration of the human body as a symbol.\nJon Gann: Born in Ft. Benning, GA and raised in the Southeastern US and Germany. I received my BFA in studio art from the University of Alabama at Birmingham in 2012 and rolled into the graduate program at PNCA that same year. I have been anxious to get back to a 2D format with my work for awhile now just to see where it stands after a number of semesters captivated by sculpture. I am making a set of 4-5 (showing at least three) mixed media collage works that incorporate painting, drawing, and sewing. My work is fueled by an insatiable curiosity. I am interested in limits and what lies beyond them. Building to take apart and reconfigure/exhaust materials, my work resides in a perpetually provisional state and I am comfortable with that. Site ambiguity and queer space are the most recent themes I have been exploring.\nThomas Gamble: I am from Erie, Pennsylvania. A lot of my formal education was in literature, and I\u2019ve always been interested in these sort of subcultural off-shoots that explore the uncanny or the sublime; things that rub up against something just out of reach of one\u2019s consciousness, or are so jarring they annihilate one\u2019s sense of self. Things like punk rock, and more recently certain types of Metal music that I have become aware of can get at this. The reconciliation or abutment of these things- the sort of heady world of literature and the much more direct, but equally coded and specialized world of subcultures, is what my work is exploring. The work for this show speaks in this language; it is dark, dense, the subject matter is derived from antiquated philosophies\u2026\nKelly McGovern: I grew up in the Pine Barrons, in Southern New Jersey. A short train ride from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This is where I found a chaotic solace in the once-booming punk scene, and a life affirming escape from my highly religious and back-woodsy hometown. These early trips, sneaking out to the city, collecting zines, records and attending basement shows, ingrained in me an idea that escape is always possible. It left me with both a wanderlust for the world beyond Shamong, in conjunction with an ever present fear of never going anywhere. Even after moving to Philadelphia, and now to Portland, these two ideas fuel me, and influence my work. The pieces I am submitting are coded references to the terminal anxiety of escape, from my own personal sort-of-zine that I have been creating, within the sketchbooks I keep.\nD: The majority of your separate personal work is set on a large scale; do you/did you struggle with paring down for the Duplex space?\nLL: I enjoy the opportunity to make work for a specific space or event, and I was excited by the challenge to work within these parameters.\nEI: I\u2019m very excited to work with the space, and in general think my work will present well at Duplex.\nJG: Not really. Even when working at a larger scale, I tend to work modularly\u2013 with few exceptions. Granted, the component pieces of newer works have been growing at an alarming clip. I feel the works I have submitted for LOW are sort of a return to form for me. I enjoy being able to waltz back and forth on the issue of scale, from the monumental back down to the trivial.\nTG: My recent work is large scale- but making small, sort-of-precious things was all I did for a long time, working in my parent\u2019s basement or very small studios, etc. There is an intimacy with small spaces and small work that is very appealing. It is like the creation of fetish objects or talismans, which are usually smaller than life-size. They don\u2019t implicate the body on a one-to-one level the way, say, a sculpture of a person the size of a person would. They evoke can a strangeness that I am intrigued by.\nKM: I too greatly enjoy working with different scales. I try to consider scale in relation to whatever I am making, as I would color, material, or installation.\nD: Did you work together as artists often before this show? Does LOW live on as a group or lives and dies with this show? Do you see yourselves in further collaboration after graduation?\nTG: This is the most formal way in which I have worked with Jon and Leif. We have been in shows together (most notably Jon and I made work about memory for a show curated by classmate Travis Nikolai), and we bounce ideas off each other very regularly, but there has really been a need to pull together on a conceptual level that has been really exciting. The introduction of Evan and Kelly is also interesting, as I have known them for a much briefer amount of time. There has been talk recently of some iteration of this group sort of banding together in the future. It feels both natural and challenging to work with this group, which I can only assume is a good sign.\nJG: Yes, I mean, Leif, Thomas, and I have banded together pretty tightly throughout the last year and a half of the Visual Studies program. Leif and I took a semester in Europe (Venice, Milan, Basel) and all three of us shared a residency experience at Caldera in Sisters, OR in 2013. Aside from those instances, we depend on each other for accountability and some semblance of stability within the program and life in general. Sometimes we just eat ice cream. Kelly and Evan are easy additions to our ramshackle collective. Their work ethic, rigor, and generosity make them invaluable to a program like ours at PNCA. My hope is that these new bonds flex and grow as we move forward to establish a solid creative network of like minds. NO LAWS NO FEAR OF DEATH?!\nLL: Right. Us three have been studying together for the last year and a half at PNCA, and have worked collaboratively loosely on some occasions; residencies, time abroad (for Jon and I), just in the studios, etc. McGovern and Isoline are new friends that also share the studio space we are all in currently. There is talk of LOW continuing in some form or another after this show, and I am very excited about the possibility of working with the people in this group in the future.\nKM: As far as we first years go, Evan and I were in a show together in late 2013, but this is the first opportunity I have had to work with Leif, Jon and Thomas. There is a really great community within PNCA that allows us to be informally working together, bouncing off ideas and giving each other feedback, on a fairly regular basis, for which I feel truly lucky to have. I am incredibly excited for whatever is to come next for this group.\nEI: I couldn\u2019t agree more about working together in the future. As a peer of this selected group of artists I\u2019m very excited to show work together, and to continue a conversation that I think is very important.\nD: How did you come together to form LOW and settle on the theme?\nJG: For some time, Thomas and I have been interested in the idea of doing some themed group shows to foster and solidify budding networks between like minds in the Visual Studies program at PNCA. At first, ideas began with guerrilla tactic methodology \u2013 such as feeding parking meters to run makeshift galleries for as long as we could afford it, or to curate a slideshow gallery on a building in the Pearl on a First Thursday. The call from Duplex came out and Thomas and I felt that this was the perfect time and vehicle to gather a few similar artists that we admire and respect and introduce our collective practices to the Portland community.\nTG: Yes, Jon and I had wanted to do a show for a while, and he is very good about keeping abreast on opportunities. He approached me with the call from Duplex and we sort of gathered some of our favorite artists from within arms-reach whose work all seemed to be in some sort of conversation with each other. All the work we were making made sense to stick together, in some strange way, but we had to figure out what that was. What we came up with was LOW.\nLL: Jonathan had sent out an email awhile back, asking if anyone wanted to put together a group show for Duplex Collective\u2019s call to artists. I was really excited by the opportunity. As far as I know he came up with the idea for this group, and we all said yes!\nEI: Jon and Thomas contacted me about being a part of a show that had to do with something very specific, almost austere. I was intrigued immediately and encouraged to find out that, through collaborative conversation, each of the artists involved in the show had something very important that they wanted to say to each other.\nKM: Similarly, Jon and Thomas reached out to me early this fall in regards to applying for a group show. I was incredibly excited for this opportunity to collaborate with my newly found community in Portland. I was all in from first mention. We came together and composed a list of our similarities. There were so many common threads between all of our work that it was pretty simple to come up with LOW.\nD: The show\u2019s statement talks a bit about psychological suffering, it\u2019s relation to the body, life and to the creation of art, could you talk a little bit more about this in relation to the selected work?\nLL: The work I create is an off gas of the psychological suffering I experience as an anxious human on this planet. Often the process of creating for me is a means to escape this anxiety, or soothe it somehow. Other times, like the work I am making for this show, I am wrestling with ideas through the interaction with my materials.\nEI: I am obsessive and even myopic when it comes to the psychosomatic relationships of pleasure and pain. I would like to find a visual locus where they meet and become indistinguishable, where the psyche becomes flesh, and vice versa.\nJG: The size and scope of my work is usually a barometer of a mental disposition in flux. Work that is larger in scale is usually an indicator of a freedom of thought, fairly free from affect. Smaller, more intricate, and repetitive works are indicative of a dip in mood that finds me reverting to a more meditative, exorcising, and cathartic mode of work. I am purposefully exploring that mode in order to highlight an experience of public grief and private salvation.\nTG: I think I probably work like Jon in the sense that when times are rough or uncertain I like the control of small work. I tend toward the sentiment that art is really about a sort of acute consciousness of mortality. I was also raised in a large Roman Catholic family, and still have a sort of complicated affinity for that faith, which is really death-obsessed, and I also went to Catholic school where these ideas of death, life after death, and so on were kind of drilled in. Also just being a sort of over-sensitive person, you become in-tune to depression, anxiety, all these sorts of minor sufferings. They can make you neurotic, of course, but I think they also tend to instill empathy, compassion, creativity, and so on. People that suffer to some degree seem to have more interesting things to say, in my experience. That isn\u2019t to say you need to wear it on your sleeve, or make work explicitly about the bleakness of existence or something, but well-adjusted people make terrible art. Or, more likely, they don\u2019t make art at all.\nKM: I have an incredibly difficult time verbally expressing myself. The work I create is an outlet for my anxieties, obsessions and fears that otherwise overtake my mind. There is a therapeutic catharsis in creating, and solace and aperture that comes with making something with your hands.\nD: It also talks about this being a source of empathy and of collective human experience that can bring people together, how do you feel it\u2019s reflected in the work? Have you found that working together to put together this show has achieved this relationship between members of the group or a broader?\nLL: My work addresses my experience of a technologically fast paced landscape based on the pointed rules and regulations of commercialism that then impale the human body. This creates exhaustion, sharp pains and disorientation. I am seeking comfort in the sharp lands of contemporary times. I look for this in my art making and within my friendships with other artists. Working collaboratively takes the edge off of the loneliness that capitalism offers, and brings moments of warmth to an otherwise cold world.\nEI: There is empathy in an attempt to critically engage in the understanding of human suffering. There is also empathy in trying to understand desire.\nJG: I think it boils down to the basic tenets of human condition and shared human experience. Even though there can be no perfect understanding of an-other, either acknowledgement or denial of those shared tenets is a reflexive response. At the root of those responses, one is either empathetic or sympathetic\u2013 you identify or you do not. Art making is, at its core, a selfish practice with the hope of connection and conversation being a latent by product of that making. I think it has. We have been in close conversation concerning the show\u2013 discussing details and threads that appear as we go along.\nTG: One thing that I find important in certain artists or writers or musicians is the ability and/or willingness to communicate without a lot of a prior knowledge. This is particularly absent in contemporary art, which is often impenetrable even to me, an MFA student, let alone, say, my family or friends who aren\u2019t involved in the art world. There is a lack of generosity there. It may work as a guarantor right now that you will get gallery representation or be taken seriously, but it is ultimately a negative trend. This isn\u2019t to say that everything should fall to lowest-common-denominator, or be anti-intellectual or something, but there needs to be some middle ground. It\u2019s why Nirvana was great, or why Marlene Dumas is great. There is a communication with that stuff that works if you are an art or music geek and works if you aren\u2019t. That\u2019s an empathy. Everyone has had to leave their bubbles for this show and communicate, and those bubbles are very intense in graduate school, where becoming hyper-specific with your work is encouraged and necessary.\nKM: I find that people are attracted to work they relate to. Just as a song you can become a theme for a time in your life, or an experience you once had. The more specific and honest you are with your audience, or the people in your life the deeper the connection. There is a beautifully honest thread that ties all of our work together, which is how I imagine we all began to work together in the first place.\nD: How do your relationships to the theme of the show differ?\nEI: I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s a difference, but I am also interested in what is at the opposite end of low, and how the two conditions are related.\nJG: I think the most immediately apparent differences are simply choices made in process and practice. Color resonates differently with each artist involved in the show, that much is obvious. In that same breath, text and its function, narrative, the esoteric, and personal lexicons all carry different weights within the construct of any given piece in reference to each individual\u2019s interpretation of the subject LOW.\nKM: I think that despite the many commonalities in our work, the subject we are taking on is ultimately derived from personal experience. With such a subject matter, we can offer each other out condolences, so to speak, but can never live the same experience.\nTG: Exactly, and the work is not just pure formalism in the old school where we can set parameters we all work within. One thing that ties us together is we are all making work about very subjective, honest, personal experience. Personally, my work is a conflation of historical, personal, and cultural \u201clows\u201d.\nLL: And mine is, to some extent, an investigation of \u201clow\u201d or queer theory.\nD: In the LOW show statement and catalog, you reference quotes for thinkers and writers, it seems safe to assume critical thinking and writing is integral to the theme of this show. How long have you been in thought and discussion before the show was born?\nLL: For Gann, Gamble and I the last year and a half for sure. For McGovern and Isoline and I \u2013 only in the last few months.\nEI: I can say that in the 5 or so months that I\u2019ve known each of the artists, each has shown within their work an inquiry into the relationship between the written word and flesh.\nJG: I would say that for the entire year and a half of the graduate program thus far Leif, Thomas, and I talk about pretty heavy topics with regularity. It is all about shifting perspective and agency. We really cut our teeth in the semester of Critical Theory that we took with Sarah Sentilles at PNCA and it has been ever present ever since. I find it quite interesting that Kelly and Evan are already talking with us about the very same topics even though they have not officially had Sarah\u2019s class. They begin this semester and I feel that those conversations are about to intensify.\nTG: Writing and reading has always been very dear to me, and for a while I thought that I might be a writer instead of a visual artist. As it turns out, I\u2019m not very good at writing. I love it, but it\u2019s not natural, and any semblance of skill I have at it I have had to work very hard at. Anyway, almost all of the thinkers referenced were introduced to me personally, and I am guessing to Jon and Leif as well, by our amazing professor Sarah Sentilles. She gave us readings that last year that put an academic bend on a lot of the sentiments I had always been drawn to in the aforementioned subcultures\u2026 distrust of power, gender equality, and so on. I would say Jon and Leif and I have been in discussion about these specific themes since starting her class last spring.\nLL: We mostly work in our own studios I would say. I think the collective studio space, and being school cohorts fosters a lot of collective crossover.\nTG: Right. Just the matter of sheer proximity and like-mindedness means that, sometimes even when you don\u2019t necessarily want to work closely with others, they are there. Ultimately it\u2019s very advantageous, and allows for opportunities like this to come together.\nJG: As Thomas said, proximity wise, we are all in the same studio building so at any given time we are pretty much at arms length. Aside from that though, we are all pretty invested in and excited about each others practice.\nEI: I would consider this a group show, one of very diverse artists and people that currently have timely and serendipitous thoughts on their mind.\nKM: At times we do. Other times it is more important to withdraw a bit and nail down our own individual concepts. It\u2019s often a matter of squirreling oneself away and then all coming out of our collective holes and showing what we\u2019ve been thinking and making.\nLL: The visible hard work and dedication that is apparent in each person\u2019s work is so inspiring. I am so honored to be showing alongside each of these artists.\nEI: There is bravery in the risks they take making their work both physically and emotionally.\nJG: I have to be honest, first and foremost my attraction stems from a similarity in work ethic and commitment to research and growth. Beyond that I am envious of what comes out of Kelly, Evan, Leif, and Thomas\u2019 studio. It resonates with me, I like to think that some offshoot personality of myself would be / could have / should be making the work I see them make.\nTG:I am most familiar with Jon and Leif\u2019s work, since I have been working with them a full year longer. I have always been in love with Jon\u2019s work, and I am very jealous of his output and technical skill as a maker. I think his work is also interesting because it sets up a great tension between formal concerns and a very honest, sort of tender sense of self-exploration. It\u2019s very heavy and serious at times but also very sincere. Leif\u2019s work similarly exhibits this kind of paradoxical sensitivity with very brash, assured gestures that still seem vulnerable. I think her work is some of the least self-conscious, least affected work I have seen, which is why I like it so much. Evan\u2019s work has an extremely graphic sensibility that I responded to, and he seems interested in provocation, which I love. Kelly was an easy choice, our aesthetics line up very well. She is making very strange, non-literal things with this background frequency of punk rock, zine culture, a very limited palette, and so on. While my work can get a bit ponderous or naval-gazey though, hers is very brave. Her performance work has a real fearlessness.\nKM: Evan Thomas Leif and Jon all have an amazing level of honesty, sincerity, bravery, and beauty in their work. Visually I was attracted to all of their work right off the bat. Having spoken to each of them about how and why they make what they make only further solidified my appreciation and respect for what has come from each of these amazing people.\nvotre grande soeur / around portland : upcoming events",

        "title": "Addition of Steroids to Epidural Lidocaine Injection May Not Reduce Disability or Pain at 6-12 Weeks in Patients With Spinal Stenosis",
        "raw_content": "Reference: N Engl J Med 2014 Jul 3;371(1):11 (level 2 [mid-level] evidence\nAlthough epidural steroid injections are commonly used in patients with spinal stenosis, the evidence supporting its use is limited. The most recent North American Spine Society (NASS) guideline for degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis states that interlaminar epidural steroid injections are suggested to provide short-term symptom relief (2 weeks to 6 months) in patients with neurogenic claudication or radiculopathy (Spine J 2013 Jul;13(7):734). A recent randomized trial compared epidural steroid injection with lidocaine to lidocaine alone at 3 and 6 weeks in 400 patients with spinal stenosis and moderate-to-severe leg pain and disability.\nPatients in the steroid group received 1 to 3 mL of triamcinolone (60-120 mg), betamethasone (6-12 mg), dexamethasone (8-10 mg), or methylprednisolone (60-120 mg) at the discretion of the treating physician. Disability was assessed with the Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (range 0-24), and leg pain was assessed with the Brief Pain Inventory scale (range 0-10). At baseline, the duration of pain was higher in glucocorticoids plus lidocaine group compared to the lidocaine alone group (p = 0.02). Patients receiving epidural steroids did not achieve a clinically significant improvement in mean pain or disability scores at 3 weeks compared to those not receiving steroids. In addition, there were no clinically or statistically significant between-group differences in these outcomes at 6 weeks. Furthermore, there were no significant differences in the proportions of patients with \u2265 50% improvement in disability or pain scores at 6 weeks. However, in a post-hoc analysis adjusting for baseline pain duration, patients receiving steroid plus lidocaine had a small but significantly greater reduction in disability score at 6 weeks compared to those receiving lidocaine alone (p = 0.03).\nThe results of this trial are consistent with another recent randomized trial evaluating the addition of betamethasone to lidocaine epidural injections in patients with spinal stenosis (J Spinal Disord Tech 2012 Jun;25(4):226). That trial also found no improvement in disability or pain scores at 12 weeks to 1 year in patients receiving steroid plus lidocaine, but also had potential confounding due to imbalanced patient characteristics at baseline. The results of these two recent randomized trials suggest that any improvement in disability or pain does not persist beyond 6-12 weeks. Moreover, any benefit observed prior to that time must be weighed against an increased risk of adverse events, including potential product contamination, temporary alterations in glucose control, and steroid-induced fluid retention.\nFor more information see the Epidural steroid injection topic in DynaMed.\nSpecial thanks to Janine Knudsen and Nicole Jackson of Harvard Medical School for their contributions to this week\u2019s article.",

        "title": "Eastern Announces Results of 2018 TIMPANI Toy Study | News | Eastern Connecticut State University",
        "raw_content": "Eastern Announces Results of 2018 TIMPANI Toy Study\nThe stackable, magnetic, bottle-shaped \u201cMagz Clix\u201d scored highest for engaging children in mindful play and was named Eastern\u2019s 2018 TIMPANI Toy of the Year.\nOn Dec. 4, Eastern Connecticut State University\u2019s Center for Early Childhood Education announced that \u201cMagz Clix\u201d (previously known as \u201cBottle Clix\u201d) by Magz\u00ae has been named the 2018 TIMPANI toy. TIMPANI stands for \u201cToys that Inspire Mindful Play and Nurture Imagination.\u201d\nNow in its ninth year, the annual toy study investigates how young children learn as they play with a variety of toys in natural settings. The toys were placed in preschool classrooms at the University\u2019s Child and Family Development Resource Center, and student researchers used hidden cameras to videotape children playing with the toys. Faculty and undergraduate student researchers then coded the footage according to the study\u2019s evaluation rubric, which includes four subscales: thinking and learning, cooperation and social interaction, creativity and imagination, and verbalization.\n\u201cThe opportunities that Eastern undergraduates have to conduct faculty-mentored research are a strength of our liberal arts education,\u201d said Eastern President Elsa N\u00fa\u00f1ez. \u201cThe TIMPANI toy study is a wonderful example of the sophisticated nature of student research on our campus. For the past nine years, students from the early childhood education, psychology and other departments have observed children at play with a variety of toys. In the process, they have developed a criteria-based assessment of what toys are best for the cognitive, social and creative development of young children. Parents, preschool educators and others around the world are turning to Eastern for direction on how best to support children\u2019s play. At the same time, our students are conducting empirical research of the highest quality.\u201d\nThe 2018 TIMPANI researchers included (left to right) students Allison Lundy \u201919 and Morgan Winship \u201918, Professor Emeritus Jeffrey Trawick-Smith, CECE Director Julia DeLapp and student Dominique McLean \u201918. A fourth student was involved as well: Nicole Green \u201918.\nFor this year\u2019s study, researchers also investigated how teachers introduce new play materials into their classrooms and the effects of those introductions on children\u2019s play quality. To study that aspect effectively, it was important to select toys that had similar characteristics, so the researchers selected eight construction toys to study.\nMagz Clix received the highest overall score in this year\u2019s study and was the highest-scoring toy in the social interaction subscale. The toy includes colorful, magnetic, bottle-shaped pieces that can be connected side-to-side or stacked. Children were often seen stacking the pieces in very tall towers. According to Morgan Winship, a psychology and early childhood education student involved in the study, \u201cThat was a huge problem that they had to solve together. How were they going to get high enough to stack the pieces when the towers were taller than them? They needed to interact and help each other.\u201d\nChildren were also observed using the Magz Clix to create microphones, rocket ships, and guitars with their peers. \u201cIt provided them the opportunity to express themselves open-endedly through object transformations and play narratives,\u201d said Allison Lundy, another psychology and early childhood education student involved in the study. \u201cI wasn\u2019t expecting this toy to score the highest, because it didn\u2019t really seem like there was much to do with them. But watching the videos, I was surprised to see the different ways that children utilized them.\u201d\nAccording to Professor Jeffrey Trawick-Smith, principal investigator of the study and retired Phyllis Waite Endowed Chair of Early Childhood Education, toys that appear simple to adults often inspire some of the highest quality play. \u201cWe\u2019ve found over the years that toys that are quite basic and can be used in multiple ways do very, very well.\u201d He also noted that like many construction toys, the Magz Clix consist of many small parts, which leads to more social interaction and problem-solving. \u201cChildren need to coordinate their activities with peers as they\u2019re building with them.\u201d\nNotably, Magz Clix also held children\u2019s attention over time. \u201cWith many toys, we see high-quality play the first day that it\u2019s in the classroom, but then the play quality wanes over time,\u201d said Julia DeLapp, director of the Center for Early Childhood Education and co-investigator of the study. \u201cBut with Magz Clix, we actually saw an improvement in the play quality the second week that it was in the classroom.\u201d Magz Clix was also the highest-scoring toy for Hispanic children and for children from families with high levels of financial need.\nStudy co-investigator Julia DeLapp gave the opening remarks at the 2018 press conference.\nThe TIMPANI toy study provides undergraduate students at Eastern a unique opportunity to engage in primary research \u2013 an opportunity that ensures they are well prepared for graduate school and the workforce because of the professional experience that research projects provide. In addition to Winship and Lundy, two additional undergraduate students were involved in this year\u2019s study: Dominique McLean, a psychology and early childhood education student, and Nicole Green, an English and elementary education student. April Doolan, a communication student, was the student editor for this year\u2019s video.\nThe results of the study were first announced at the annual meeting of the National Association for the Education of Young Children in Washington, DC, on Nov. 14. Findings will be disseminated to preschool teachers nationally to inform their decisions about the toys to include in their classroom. Findings will also be shared with families. The investigation on how teachers introduce play materials will continue for another year; results are expected in late 2019.\nFor more information on TIMPANI as well as the 2018 video, visit http://www.easternct.edu/cece/timpani/. Contact the Center for Early Childhood Education at (860) 465-0687.\nPrevious TIMPANI toys include Animal Kingdom Mega Pack by Animal Planet (2017); Plus-Plus\u00ae by Plus-Plus\u00ae (2016), Wooden Cash Register by Hape (2015); Paint and Easel (easel by Community Playthings), and Hot Wheels Cars by Mattel (2014); Magna-Tiles by Valtech!, and My First Railway by Brio (2013); Duplo Blocks by LEGO (2012); Tinker Toys by Hasbro (2011); and Wooden Vehicles and Signs by Melissa and Doug (2010).\nDisclaimer: The TIMPANI toy study does not consider, nor does it test, the safety of toys. The study makes no claims about the safety of any toy studied. Neither the Center for Early Childhood Education nor Eastern Connecticut State University is liable for any mishaps related to the use of toys mentioned in study findings. Concerns about any toy listed in the study findings should be directed to the Consumer Products Safety Commission.\nThis entry was posted in Education, Faculty Research, Undergraduate Research by Office of University Relations.

        "title": "A Tour of Turkey \u2013 A Diverse and Dynamic Country - ECHO River Trips",
        "raw_content": "A Tour of Turkey \u2013 A Diverse and Dynamic Country\n\u2014 Joe Daly / Monday, March 10, 2014\nTurkey sits at a pivotal point on the world map. It is truly a crossroads of world history. Think Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman empires. Stephen Kinzer best summed it up when he said, \u201cNo place on earth has been home to so many different civilizations over such a long period of time.\u201d The mere mention of Istanbul stirs one\u2019s imagination like few other cities in the world. Consider that six complete civilizations have existed on its sight. Luckily for us, Istanbul is where we begin our September tour that highlights the diversity of this fascinating country.\nThis huge city of 14 million people straddles the Bosphorus, incorporating both Asia and Europe within its reach. Names beckon\u2014The Grand Bazaar, the Egyptian Spice Market, the Topkapi Palace. The architecture astounds\u2014the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque, for example.\nA few days in Istanbul will give you a good sense of the great culture and history of Turkey, but heading south to Ephesus will really bring home the point. Ephesus was once a vital city in the eastern part of the Roman Empire. Now, one of the largest and longest archaeological digs in the world is taking place there. Archaeologists have been working for 100 years, with another 100 years needed to finish the job. I have been there four times, and it is amazing what keeps being discovered.\nOur 12 day tour takes us next to Marmaris where we board a gulet, a broad-beamed Turkish yacht that typically hold eight to 12 guests. The living is easy\u2014and beautiful. Not only is the gleaming teak of the gulet beautiful, so is the whole setting along the Turkish Turquoise Coast. People love the sailing part of the trip.\nA gulet along the Turquoise Coast\nNow we go to an important attitudinal point about being in Turkey. One must come to the country with a double mind-set\u2014a long term look and a short term view. At moments you will be looking at something that is measured in centuries or millennia. B.C. and A.D. are used often by guides. Then suddenly you are in a very modern setting as you enter the lobby of a beautiful, new hotel. The mind has to keep adjusting. But it is a fun exercise.\nBack to the tour, which next takes us to Antalya\u2014a delightful city along Turkey\u2019s Mediterranean coast. A gem of a museum awaits, filled with jaw-dropping marble Roman statues. Almost every tour leaves Antalya reluctantly.\nPeople often ask what is the food like. A Mediterranean diet is predominant\u2014fresh vegetables, fresh fish, fresh everything. One dines well.\nRuins of the Temple of Apollo, Didyma\nIn central Turkey sits the Cappadocia Region filled with ancient underground cities and beautiful 12th century cave churches. The preservation is impressive. Cappadocia gives people many active options\u2014ranging from quiet afternoon hikes to early morning hot balloon rides. The landscape is like nowhere else in the world.\nThis area also has many modern day artisans\u2014weavers, potters, and painters. If you are looking to purchase a piece by which to remember your tour, this is the place.\nBefore finishing the tour by flying back to Istanbul, I should say something about modern day Turkey. It is a 90-year old, young, Muslim democracy, learning to live in the 21st century. At times one sees a very cosmopolitan Istanbul, and a short time later one can spot a boy riding a donkey along a country road. Turkey can be highly efficient and inefficient in the same breath. But it never stops being fascinating.",

Excess weight raises the risk of breast cancer because fat cells produce hormones that encourage tumours.\nAccording to Public Health England, almost two thirds of adults are overweight or obese and this, combined with the evidence that people cannot correctly identify healthy from unhealthy body shapes, suggests being overweight or obese is normalised in society.\nWith vanity sizing, or size inflation, in our clothes, a today\u2019s size 14 compared to a size 14 from the 1970s would actually be an old size 18. This may seem trivial but it means we are at risk of thinking that, because our clothes sizes are the same as they were 20 years ago, we haven\u2019t put on weight. When actually, we may have done as the clothes we buy now are often larger despite being presented as the same size.\nJanuary is the classic time to make new resolutions for the year ahead, so why not make it your resolution to take charge of your health and wellbeing once and for all. Whether it\u2019s cooking more healthily, avoiding snacks, quitting smoking, reducing your alcohol consumption, or being more physically active, any change you make today will create a healthier you tomorrow.",

        "raw_content": "How wonderful, you have made it to be a Ph.D-student! After years of hard work to get this position, you can now finally relax and take a breath. Right? Wrong!\nYes you had to work hard writing and rewriting your Ph.D proposal, you had to become your network and work on your visibility within the academic field thus visiting countles s congresses and seminars across the country. Maybe you did some research in your \u2018free time\u2019 on the train on your way to these congresses and maybe you even got published. Well done! You might have managed to get through the solicitation process within four years and when you finally got noticed you eventually managed to get hired as Ph.D. But there is no time to take a holiday. Your professor is already knocking on your door. You need to get results, articles, organize seminars. NOW!\nWhy did you want a Ph.D? Because of the wonderful employment conditions, the long vacations and good pension? Well, you might just be in a big surprise if you are hired not as an employee but as a scholarship student (Bursaal) which means you\u2019re seen as a student and get funding for your research. Yeah. That means no sick pay or pregnancy leave or pension,\u2026\nIt\u2019s not about successfully finishing your Ph.D. For most of us, it\u2019s more about surviving your Ph.D.\nSo no, you did not want a Ph.D for the nice conditions. You probably wanted to start a career within the academic world, right? So what to do? There are a lot of pages out there telling you how important it is to publish, set up seminars, participate in boards etc. It\u2019s all true. But it\u2019s also true that the bulk of the PhDs don\u2019t finish their thesis in time. They end up working unpaid an extra year or more on their dissertation. And it\u2019s true that a burn-out can be seen as a professional risk considering the huge number of PhD\u2019s who get it.\nThe \u201cHow not to get a burn-out during your PhD\u201d list:\n1) Say \u2018NO\u2019 to your professor. It\u2019s YOUR research. It\u2019s YOUR time.\nEvery professor will try to make you into his or her assistant because they don\u2019t have a secretary these days and they have a chronically lack of time. Say no to little jobs; they will turn into huge time consuming monsters. Get a student to design that poster for the congress, or organize that dinner for collogues.\n2) Don\u2019t take your work home. And especially not on your Holiday!\nIf you like to read a book in the evening, don\u2019t take a book that has anything to do with your research. Don\u2019t check your e-mails, don\u2019t write reports etc. When you are on Holiday, lock your office and leave it all behind. You\u2019re away now. Be away!\n3) Don\u2019t try to be perfect. Cause you know. You\u2019re not.\nYou don\u2019t have to be perfect to succeed. You have to be content with your work, and support it. That\u2019s all. Your professor is not perfect either. Did you notice that already? Somewhere along the line, you have to turn away from the archives/experiments and write down your findings. Dare to leave an uncertainty.\n4) Reflect on your position and try to see the world beyond your research.\nDid you know 50% of the Ph.D\u2019s lose their relationship? Don\u2019t lose sight of what is really important in the world. Your love, your friends, your ideals, etc.\n5) Drink beer with your peers and colleagues.\nIf you still ambition a career in the university after two years of research, make sure you participate in social events. Especially the ones with booze.\n3 Responses to \u201cHow to survive your Ph.D\u201d\nI can see how it goes wrong in my department!\nPleased to share with everyone, some really helpful information, that I really believe, will give you very good insights into some great opportunities to get the very best from your travel journey and save yourself some real money!\nschw\u00e4che says:\nCan I simply just say what a relief to find somebody who genuinely understands what\nthey are discussing on the internet. You certainly understand how to bring a problem to light and make it important.\nMore people must read this and understand this side of\nyour story. I was surprised you\u2019re not more popular because you definitely possess the gift.",

Bundesliga] and really doing well,\" he continued. \"The coach [Steffen Baumgart] there is a very good friend of mine.\n\"We played together and his philosophy is a very good one. If our player is playing there that means he's good enough, and he is playing in a position that we are very, very bad.\n\"I'm not even supposed to be the one to tell the coach that 'look the boy is good',\" the former forward continued. \"If [Collins has] been called up, then maybe [Rohr] acknowledges that he has a problem with that position.\"\nThe 49-year-old also advised Rohr to promote either Lobi Stars' left-back Dure or Ikouwem Utin Udoh of Enyimba ahead of Idowu.\n\"In that position, we have enough players,\" he concluded. \"Udoh, Duru [for example].\n\"You have people who can play better than the person who played at the World Cup.\n\"I don't know the criteria the coach is using to pick all of these players.\n\"[Maybe it's the] Nigerian factor, because you do have a better player but you chose to pick somebody who's not as talented as the one I'm mentioning.\"",

        "title": "Pew Research Center projects growing Muslim populations in Europe - report - Euro-Islam: News and Analysis on Islam in Europe and North America",
        "raw_content": "In a recent study, renowned US think tank Pew has chosen to address a highly sensitive political issue: the number of Muslims living in European countries. The study, which was published on November 29, 2017, promises to \u201cprovide[\u2026] the first estimates of the growing size of the Muslim population in Europe following the wave of refugees between 2014 and mid-2016\u201d. The text can be downloaded \u00bb here.\nStarting from an estimate of current numbers of Muslims living in the EU, Norway, and Switzerland \u2013 a figure which Pew puts at close to 26 million, or 4.9 per cent of the population \u2013 the study models three scenarios, varying in terms of future immigration levels.\nUnder the \u2018zero migration\u2019 projection in which Muslim immigration ceases completely, Europe will still see an increase of its Muslim population to 7.4 per cent of all Europeans by 2050. This is linked to European Muslims\u2019 younger average age and higher fertility levels.\nIn the case of the \u2018medium migration\u2019 model, there are no further refugee flows comparable to the levels of 2014-2016; yet \u2018regular\u2019 migration (for the purposes of work, education, and family reunification) persists. In this scenario, Muslims are expected to make up 11.2 per cent of the European population by the middle of the century.\nFinally, in the \u2018high migration\u2019 scenario, Europe will continue to witness record numbers of refugees arriving. This would lead to a near-tripling of the Muslim population by 2050, as 14 per cent of the continent\u2019s inhabitants would then be Muslim.\nDifficulty of assessing Muslim migration\nThe authors recognise that migration levels are \u201cunpredictable\u201d and depend not only on patterns of conflict in Europe\u2019s neighbourhood but also on political and economic conditions within Europe. Therefore they avert that their conclusions should not be read as predictions but as projections.\nIn the same vein, the study points out that half of the migrants who arrived in Europe over the past three years were not Muslim. Not only is the linkage established in much of popular parlance between \u2018migration\u2019 and \u2018Muslims\u2019 therefore somewhat reductionist. The composition of migration into Europe might also change in the coming decades \u2013 a fact that the study does not take into account.\nDifferences between European countries\nThe study also zooms in on individual European countries \u2013 particularly on those who have recently received a large number of Muslim immigrants, such as Germany. Germany\u2019s Muslim community, currently at 6 per cent of the population, is expected to grow to 8.7 per cent under the \u2018zero migration\u2019 scenario. In the case of \u2018medium\u2019 levels of immigration that share would reach 10.8 per cent, compared to 19.7 per cent in the event of an unabatedly \u2018high\u2019 migratory dynamic.\nBy contrast, the trajectory of Muslim populations in France, Italy, and Belgium appears less dependent on migration: They are expected to see a strong growth of their Muslim populations under the \u2018zero migration\u2019 scenario as Muslim citizens and residents already living in these countries are relatively young and, on average, have a larger number of children.\nThe study thus seeks to provide some hard numbers to European debates about immigration, integration, and identity. This is a welcome attempt, given the fact that Europeans tend to grossly overestimate the number of Muslims living in their midst.1)https://www.theguardian.com/society/datablog/2016/dec/13/europeans-massively-overestimate-muslim-population-poll-shows\nShaky empirical bases\nAt the same time, any attempt at counting the continent\u2019s Muslim inhabitants must suffer from a number of empirical weaknesses and methodological drawbacks. Uncertainty already affects the baseline estimate of Europe\u2019s current Muslim population from which the study starts. The authors concede that \u201ccoming up with an exact count of Muslims currently in Europe [\u2026] is not a simple task\u201d.\nThe example of Germany elucidates this difficulty perfectly: official German estimates of the country\u2019s Muslim population are based on extrapolating from immigrants\u2019 country of origin.\nYet not all Muslims are immigrants or their descendants (since there is an unknown number of autochthonous converts) and not all immigrants from Muslim-majority countries are Muslim \u2013 the recent migrations from religiously diverse countries in the Middle East such as Syria are a case in point. (It might not even be unreasonable to assume that non-Muslim minorities have left the battlefields of the Levant at a faster rate than their Muslim compatriots.)\nUnpredictable fertility rates\nAnd while the study is correct to point out that the patterns of migration that will partly determine the size of European Muslim communities are impossible to predict, we might to some extent say the same about the second major variable upon which the future share of Muslims among Europe\u2019s population hinges \u2013 fertility rates.\nSticking with the case of Germany is worthwhile in this context, given the fact that the country has long served as the paradigmatic example of low \u2018indigenous\u2019 birthrates and a supposed demographic Islamisation. Yet already prior to the arrival of Middle Eastern refugees, the country had in fact seen its fertility rate grow for years, reaching a 33-year high in 2015.2)http://www.tagesspiegel.de/politik/geburtenrate-in-deutschland-frauen-bekommen-mehr-kinder/14700712.html\nConversely, as immigrants and their descendants stay on in Germany, their fertility rates tend to decline and approach the German mean.3)http://www.spiegel.de/gesundheit/schwangerschaft/geburten-in-deutschland-statistisches-bundesamt-jede-fuenfte-frau-bleibt-kinderlos-a-1159787.html In the face of these dynamics, any predictions about future fertility rates of Muslims and non-Muslims in Europe seem a hazardous task.\nThe fetishisation of numbers\nFinally, any abstract estimate of the number of Muslims living in Europe tells us comparatively little of what this actually means in practice. As the study\u2019s authors note,\nlevels of religious commitment and belief vary among Europe\u2019s Muslim populations. Some of the Muslims enumerated in this report would not describe Muslim identity as salient in their daily lives. For others, Muslim identity profoundly shapes their daily lives.\nIf it is not clear what \u2018being Muslim\u2019 means to Europeans who adhere to the Islamic faith today, it is even harder to guess what it will mean by 2050. While the supposition that Muslim immigrants and their offspring will simply let go of their Muslim faith and identity as time goes by is evidently too simplistic. Yet there are signs for disenchantment with established patterns of Islamic orthodoxy and orthopraxy among European Muslims.\nIn the body of their study, the authors at the Pew Research Center acknowledge some \u2013 though not all \u2013 of these empirical blind spots. Yet the overall message sent is still one about Europe\u2019s growing Muslim population, together with the irredeemable promise that the study has the hard numbers to make this growth quantifiable.\nRiem Spielhaus, Professor of Islamic Studies at G\u00f6ttingen University, accused the Pew study of feeding into a \u201cdemographic panic\u201d without making a meaningful, factually sound contribution.4)https://www.zdf.de/nachrichten/heute/muslime-in-deutschland-106.html\nThat the number of Muslims living in Europe will increase in the coming decades seems a relatively straightforward guess. The extent to which the Pew study adds to our knowledge and understanding of this phenomenon is, however, questionable. As numerous newspaper headlines attest, its attractiveness has rested chiefly in the fact it has enabled some pundits to predict the unchecked multiplication of Europe\u2019s Muslim population on the basis of scant evidence.5)https://www.welt.de/politik/deutschland/article171103437/In-einem-Szenario-verdoppelt-sich-die-Zahl-der-Muslime-bis-2050.html\n1. \u2191 https://www.theguardian.com/society/datablog/2016/dec/13/europeans-massively-overestimate-muslim-population-poll-shows\n2. \u2191 http://www.tagesspiegel.de/politik/geburtenrate-in-deutschland-frauen-bekommen-mehr-kinder/14700712.html\n3. \u2191 http://www.spiegel.de/gesundheit/schwangerschaft/geburten-in-deutschland-statistisches-bundesamt-jede-fuenfte-frau-bleibt-kinderlos-a-1159787.html\n4. \u2191 https://www.zdf.de/nachrichten/heute/muslime-in-deutschland-106.html\n5. \u2191 https://www.welt.de/politik/deutschland/article171103437/In-einem-Szenario-verdoppelt-sich-die-Zahl-der-Muslime-bis-2050.html\nPrevious articleThe emerging Muslim American mental health movement\nNext article100 British Muslim leaders and scholars sign letter supporting grand imam of al-Azhar, but there is little reaction from British Muslims",

        "raw_content": "Innovative GolfSixes concept unveiled\nGolfSixes (European Tour)\nThe European Tour is today delighted to unveil GolfSixes, a revolutionary and novel short form of the game which further illustrates the Tour\u2019s desire to embrace innovation and originality in professional golf.\nThe inaugural GolfSixes event \u2013 featuring a prize fund of \u20ac1 million \u2013 will make its debut on the European Tour schedule at the Centurion Club in St Albans, to the north west of London, on May 6-7, 2017.\nThe event will feature two-man teams from 16 different nations, each nation being represented by its two leading ranked and available European Tour members from the 2017 Exemption Category List as at Monday March 13.\nThe first day\u2019s play on Saturday May 6 will see the teams split into four groups of four \u2013 similar to the UEFA Champions League football group stages \u2013 before the top two teams from each group progress to the knockout stages \u2013 the quarter-finals, the semi-finals, a 3rd/4th place play-off match and the final \u2013 all of which will be contested on Sunday May 7.\nIn the group stages, three points will be given for winning a match with one point given for a draw while the matches themselves will be played in a greensomes match play format.* Both days\u2019 play will be shown live on Sky Sports in the UK and around the globe on the Tour\u2019s world feed network.\nGolf needs to modernise and introducing innovative new formats is a major part of achieving that aim - Keith Pelley\nAs well as innovation inside the ropes, there will be an abundance of originality for the fans to enjoy outside the ropes as the six holes wend their way around the centrally located fan zone at the Hertfordshire venue.\nIn addition to amphitheatre-style stands around the tees and greens, there will be music and pyrotechnics on the first tee and at various points around the course, with all players mic'd up to help bring fans closer to the action.\nPlayers will also be encouraged to interact with the fans during play and in the intervals between their matches, including taking part in Q&A sessions in the fan zone, while live streaming on social media will further enhance the spectators\u2019 experience and maximise reach.\nThe interactive digital fan experience will feature polls, user generated content and unique social media content while the innovative broadcast items will include POV cameras, caddie cams, unique camera angles and on-course player interviews.\nKeith Pelley, Chief Executive of the European Tour, said: \u201cWe have said for some time that golf needs to modernise and introducing innovative new formats is a major part of achieving that aim, which is why I am delighted to announce the launch of GolfSixes today.\n\u201cWe want to broaden the appeal of our sport to the millennial demographic and I think this format will do that, not only through the quick and exiting style of play, but also with the interactive digital experience fans will enjoy on site and the innovative television coverage people will enjoy at home.\n\u201cWe are also delighted to have brought a country versus country element to the fore. There is no question that the greatest atmosphere in golf comes every two years at The Ryder Cup and we are keen to try and emulate that national fervour in this format. We are in the entertainment content business with golf as our platform and GolfSixes is the perfect illustration of that.\n\u201cI encourage everyone, whether they are a golf fan or not, to come along to the Centurion Club in May and immerse yourself in an occasion which will be unlike anything else you have experienced on a golf course before.\u201d\n* Format Summary\nGreensomes:\n\u2022 Both players in each team hit tee shots on each hole. The best tee shot is selected and then the team alternate play of all subsequent shots required to complete the hole.\n\u2022 Matches will be played over all 6 holes with 1 point awarded for each hole won. The winner of each match will be the player with most points at the end of 6 holes.\n\u2022 For the group table: Win = 3 points, Draw = 1 point, Loss = 0 points\n\u2022 In the case of a tie or ties in the group table after all matches have been played, each team\u2019s total points differential from the 3 matches (similar to goal difference) will be used to determine the qualifiers to the knockout stages.\n\u2022 If this does not resolve the tie, then this will be decided by a hole-by-hole play-off on a shortened play-off hole on hole 18.\n\u2022 Matches will be played over as many holes as is required to determine a winner.\n\u2022 Any match that is still tied after 6 holes will be continued by repeated play of a \u201cshortened play-off hole\u201d on hole 18 until a result is determined.",

        "raw_content": "Does a Credit Blacklist Truly Exist?\nSome have tossed around the idea of a credit blacklist, which would mean that companies are actually blocking you from getting the credit that you deserve. The idea of being automatically shut out of the credit you need for the bigger things in life can be scary, but that doesn\u2019t mean that it\u2019s true. Simply put, the good news that you need to hear right here, right now is that there\u2019s no such thing as a credit blacklist. What gets people confused is that creditors do not have to accept you. They have to look at your credit file before deciding whether or not you are a good credit risk.\nYet it gets deeper than that. They can look at how much money you\u2019re going to bring to their coffers. If you\u2019re someone that pays your credit card bills off every single month without drawing any interesting\u2026guess what? You\u2019re not going to be giving them the revenue that they\u2019re looking for. Would you? If you honestly had two people and you knew that one wasn\u2019t going to make you any interest back on the money that you let them borrow while the other will give you a good 10%\u2026 you would be silly to go with the one that gets to borrow your money for free!\nThat\u2019s what you\u2019re doing when you sign up for a credit card to begin with. You are totally and completely borrowing someone else\u2019s money to pay for the things that you feel you need right away. Whether we think that it\u2019s right or wrong doesn\u2019t make any difference. The point here is that you have to start looking at what type of credit customer you are.\nThere\u2019s nothing wrong with paying your bills on time. In fact, we would recommend that you always pay your bills on time. This will give you the best credit score possible. But you do need to stared thinking about utilization and how you want to make that work. If you\u2019re not focused on utilization at all, you\u2019re going to end up having a really tough time getting anything done. Utilization is simply the percentage of money used on the card. If you have a credit with a 1000 GBP limit, and you use 250 pounds, that\u2019s going to be a card with a 25% utilization. That\u2019s not bad at all.\nOn the other hand, if your card is at the 800-900 range, that\u2019s a lot of utilization. It makes lenders nervous that you\u2019re racking up debt that you aren\u2019t going to pay back. As you get better with your finances, you will be able to handle this in a completely different way. You will be able to save money so that you don\u2019t run the risk of having to lean on your credit cards. Now, what happens if you really do hit some rough patches? You will need to make sure that you take things to the next level through getting past the situation as quickly as possible. No one says that life doesn\u2019t move in pretty uncertain ways. But you do need to make sure that you can roll with the punches. If you just glide through life like nothing happened, you run the risk of ignoring glaring situations that can become problematic for you over time.\nDon\u2019t let life get to you like that. Embrace credit, and learn how to use it well. What purpose does credit really have in your life? We\u2019d love to know, so don\u2019t hesitate to tell us all about it in the comments!\nFiled Under: Credit Cards Tagged With: Credit Blacklist",

        "raw_content": "you are right where you should be\u2026\nI am truly happy inside to be sitting here writing this entry today. Today, I said in Session to my therapist that \u201cthis one is being written about in the blog\u201d \u2013 Today was a true testament to how you can be in a hard place, sit in it, be frustrated in it, have emotions around it, be angry in it, feel distorted in it, not understand it; but then realize that something GOOD came from it.\n\u201d You are right where you need to be\u201d These words are the words I have heard in the past 4 days. Even though I have a clear vision of my true self in this journey, there is proof that something can come by and just knock you off coarse, and your flying down a hill at 100mph in the wrong direction. I was told \u201cFor some reason Karen, this is where you need to be, I don\u2019t know why yet, but it will show up , and something big will come out of it, and we will listen and pay attention to it when it comes\u201d.\nThese words are so hard to hear when you come up against something really hard that you are dealing with internally. We all love to hear these words when your life is in line to where it feels comfortable. Hearing these words in times of hardness and despair, or when your in tears because something has hurt you to the core; kicked you in the gut \u2013 is truly hard!\nWhile sitting with this the past couple of days, the very thing that was coming out of this, was being revealed while chipping away at the hardness of it. While in this sadness, and grief, I realized that I am stronger than I thought. What good came out of it was realizing another piece of ME and my healing.\nWhat good came out of it was God opening my heart and eyes to see something from a different prospective; a more loving and tender side of me in acceptance to the sadness I was in. What good that came out of it was realizing that no matter how hard it was, I could talk about it, and I am worth being heard. What good came out of it was, that by talking through it, it showed I had self worth of myself enough to face it. What I realized was, the very thing that hurt me, was the very thing that gave me strength today.\nI can now say, I was exactly where I needed to be. I am right where I need to be in this moment. I had this sense of relief that came over me when I realized all these things, and talked about it. It\u2019s like being outside in the sun after days of constant rain. It\u2019s the contrast\u2026 which is why it\u2019s so important to welcome the bad, even when it seems TOO hard to handle, because when that GOOD comes out of it, it feels uplifting and empowering, and you look back and see the strength and perseverance it took.\nMaybe the way it came about wasn\u2019t justifiable, and you certainly dont want this to be a catalyst for things to come just to gain strength from it \u2013 but sometimes \u201cyou are right where you should be\u201d.\nFor ME, one of the biggest things that came out of this hard place, is that I trust the process 10 times more than I did before. It makes the relationship with your support another foothold up, which gives me strength to keep going forward and towards me. It makes the relationship with my TRUE self another foothold up which gives me strength to go forward.\nI was told over the past couple of days that I am \u201cresilient\u201d .. and I think I am willing to accept that.. resilience is a GOOD thing, because it means you are willing to get past something hard, to get to the good.\nSo when you are going through a hard time, try and tell yourself \u201cI am right where I need to be\u201d.. even if you have to \u201cfake it\u201d, just say it even if you dont believe it in the moment \u2013 because you may find something that comes good from it \u2013 a lesson, a feeling, or getting to know your strength.\nturning a new corner ;\nfeet on ground, heart in hand, facing forward, be yourself\nI have sat and read this about 5 times. I cannot tell you how many times I have been in a place where I do not understand why something is happening. The next time I go through this, I am going to try and think these words. I am inspired by your truth, there are not many people who would be truthful about struggles they go through. Some people just want to talk about the good, you give us the good and the hard, and that shows a person who is FULL.\nI will pray that this moment of clarity opens more doors for you to heal\nKaren, very well said, I never thought about it that way before. wow, this is so good to read, I love reading about your healing.\nMary Ann * *\nWOW, I have heard of the phrase \u201cthis was meant to be\u201d, but this puts it in a whole new meaning, a meaning that has more hope.\nHey Karen, I work for RAINN \u2013 it\u2019s a magazine that is put out 4 times a year, and we would love to post your BLOG in this magazine. It\u2019s a magazine for survivors of sexual abuse, physical abuse.. your blog would be VERY helpful to other woman.. email me, and I will do the same. Your writing is amazing.\nI believe in this so much. People miss out on the gift of the \u201cprocess\u201d. But\u2026 the thing that it makes me think of most are those many times that I\u2019ve watched you go through a set back brought on by someone else (something out of your control) and the emotion that came from that hurt and frustration was the thing that opened another level of feeling so that you could experience the next thing in the process. Very cool. AND you got through it coming out better and more connected on the otherside. I think you know those times I\u2019m talking about. :)",

Both Vikraman and Adithyan are born at the same time and the film is about love, hatred and friendship between them.\nVikraman is a person who pursues perfection in everything he does. He is deeply rooted in the concept of friendship, love and family. Meanwhile, Adithyan is portrayed as someone whose character is almost opposite to Vikraman. The film is set to release for Eid on 25 July 2014.\n\"I play the character of Deepika Pai, a Konkani girl in the film. This film is the story of three of us, Vikraman, Adithyan and Deepika. It is about friendship, love and hatred between us. We all had fun at the set of the film and I felt great to work with Lalu uncle (Director Lal Jose) again after \"Pullipulikalum Aatinkuttiyum.\" This is going to be one of the finest films from him,\" said Namitha Pramod to International Business Times India edition.\nThe film is scripted by Iqbal Kuttipuram. Lal Jose \u2013 Iqbal Kuttipuram team have earlier made well acclaimed films like \"Arabikkatha\" (2007) and \"Diamond Necklace\" (2012). Thus, \"Vikramadithyan\" is also expected to be a well crafted film.\nLal Jose's last film as a director was \"Ezhu Sundara Rathrikal\" (2013) starring Dileep and Rima Kallingal in the lead. The film also had Murali Gopi, Parvathy Nambiar, Tini Tom, Harishree Ashokan, Suraj Venjaramoodu, Vijayaraghavan and Sreejith Ravi in pivotal roles. The film however was not a huge success and received mixed reactions.\nThe cinematography of \"Vikramadithyan\" is handled by Jomon T John and the editing is done by Ranjan Abraham. The music is composed by Bijipal and the lyrics are written by Vayalar Sarath Chandra Varma, Rafeeq Ahamed, Anil Panachooran, Engadiyoor Chandrasekharan, Santhosh Varma and Manu Manjith. The film is produced by Lal Jose under the banner of L J Films.\nTAG MALAYALAM Upcoming Vikramadithyan\nMALAYALAM Upcoming Vikramadithyan",

        "raw_content": "The Self-Immolation of Marco Rubio\nMarco Rubio is apparently counting on the teabaggers and other assorted wingnuts that control the Republican Party presidential nomination process to have forgotten his just announced immigration program when he formally begins his long, slow march for the GOP presidential nomination.\nTo be sure, much of the Republican base will have expired from old age two years hence, but enough will have remained to recall Rubio's it-ain't-\"amnesty\" amnesty plan to make sure he doesn't get out of Florida. And that would be unfortunate for we Floridians who desperately want to see him take his empty suit and self-exile -- or self-deport, or whatever -- his way out of Florida politics.\nRubio is sure to offend even Florida Republicans with his freshly proposed pathway to citizenship plan for adults who have overstayed their visas or simply sneaked in to the country:\n\"Here's how I envision it,\" he says. \"They would have to come forward. They would have to undergo a background check.\" Anyone who committed a serious crime would be deported. \"They would be fingerprinted,\" he continues. \"They would have to pay a fine, pay back taxes, maybe even do community service. They would have to prove they've been here for an extended period of time. They understand some English and are assimilated. Then most of them would get legal status and be allowed to stay in this country.\"\nThe special regime he envisions is a form of temporary limbo [which might be called \"neo-indentured servitude\"]. \"Assuming they haven't violated any of the conditions of that status,\" he says, the newly legalized person could apply for permanent residency, possibly leading to citizenship, after some years\u2014but Mr. Rubio doesn't specify how many years. He says he would also want to ensure that enforcement has improved before opening that gate.\nHere's the key: Under Rubio's plan: \"No one would be asked to leave the country to qualify\". And, to make it dreamy, for the over one million younger illegals, just as under\nthe Dream Act that stalled in Congress last year, [Rubio] says people who came here unlawfully with their parents should be accommodated \"in a more expedited manner than the rest of the population\" to gain a way to naturalize.\n\"Marco Rubio: Riding to the Immigration Rescue\".\nThree of four campaign donor dollars were unlimited checks to Political Committees\n\"Florida\u2019s sputtering economy did not stop interest groups and donors from spending $306 million this election cycle on state political campaigns, according to final election year tallies released Friday.\"\nThe number is lower than the $550 million reported in the 2010 election cycle and does not include the massive amount of federal cash spent in the presidential race. But it points to a new trend: more dollars are going to campaign committee rather than individual candidates.\nThree out of every four dollars were unlimited checks to political committees, while the rest went into the campaign accounts of individuals, which are capped at $500 a check.\nThe shift is a sign that Florida\u2019s $500 limit is outdated and dysfunctional \u2014 and ripe for reform, said Dan Krassner, executive director of Integrity Florida, which did the analysis of the campaign finance data released by the Florida Division of Elections.\n\u201cCandidate accounts have become nearly irrelevant,\u2019\u2019 said Krassner, executive director of Integrity Florida. The current system allows corporations to write unlimited checks to political committees with loose affiliations to candidates but require them to give no more than $1000 to individual candidates for both the primary and general election. The result is, he said, \u201cthe public cannot easy follow the money.\u2019\u2019\n\"Unlike individual campaigns, it\u2019s not always possible to know which candidates political committees support. State law requires committees to name a treasurer, chairman and registered agent but some groups fill those positions with obscure individuals so the committee can\u2019t be tracked to the public officials they were formed to help.\"\nOne of the largest political committees this election cycle, the Liberty Foundation of Florida, is an Electioneering and Communications Organization that is run by Gainesville political consultant Pat Bainter. It received much of its money from the Republican Party of Florida and the political committee controlled by Gaetz. The committee spent money on ads attacking Senate candidates, but Gaetz was not linked directly to any of the spending.\nBecause political committees can transfer money from one political committee to another, \u201cwe don\u2019t see who\u2019s getting and giving,\u2019\u2019 Krassner said.\n\"2012 campaign dollars poured into unlimited accounts\".\nHe's all yours\n\"George P. Bush weighing run in Texas\".\nA \"turbulent, paranoid, erratic, vindictive political career\"\nFred Grimm writes about the latest chapter in Joe Carollo's \"turbulent, paranoid, erratic, vindictive political career\" \"For Joe Carollo, an erratic career, an erratic return\".\nAnother \"True the Vote\" flop\n\"FDLE has closed a case against a person accused of voting in the states of Florida and Rhode Island due to a lack of evidence that the person existed. The case was initiated by a group called True the Vote.\" \"Florida finds no wrongdoing in several voting cases\".\n\"Drama in Palm Beach County\"\n\"U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz is one of the most powerful and recognizable Democrats in America. Retired teacher Bunny Steinman isn\u2019t well known beyond the ranks of Palm Beach County Democratic activists.\"\nU.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz is one of the most powerful and recognizable Democrats in America. Retired teacher Bunny Steinman isn\u2019t well known beyond the ranks of Palm Beach County Democratic activists.\nBut in the contest to determine who will lead the Florida Democratic Party, Steinman and other grass-roots operatives appear to have more say than Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Wasserman Schultz, Sen. Bill Nelson and other party elites.\nSteinman, a resident of unincorporated Boynton Beach who is Palm Beach County\u2019s Democratic state committeewoman, is one of several county committeewomen and committeemen who have publicly declared their support for Hillsborough County Committeeman Alan Clendenin for state party chairman.\nWasserman Schultz, Nelson and most of Florida\u2019s U.S. House delegation are backing Allison Tant, a Tallahassee fundraiser who has helped generate campaign cash for President Barack Obama and others but doesn\u2019t have much history with party activists and organizers around the state.\nClendenin\u2019s camp says it has lined up more than 500 of the 580 votes needed in the chairman\u2019s race, primarily from county activists like Steinman. Tant\u2019s consultant, Christian Ulvert, said Tant has pulled ahead of Clendenin, though he would not share specific numbers.\n\"Drama in Palm Beach County this week shows how votes could shift between now and the Jan. 26 election, which will be held at a party meeting in Lake Mary near Orlando.\"\nTo maximize South Florida\u2019s influence, Democratic leaders from the three counties agreed last month to vote as a unit in the chairman\u2019s race. They decided to support Clendenin at a meeting on Monday and signed a document declaring their endorsement.\nPalm Beach County Democratic Committeeman John Ramos signed the document, but said later he was uneasy about doing so. On Wednesday, after a meeting in Broward County with Wasserman Schultz, Ramos announced he was supporting Tant.\n\"Party elites vs. grass-roots types in Fla. Dem. chair race\". Older: \"'I will be the party chair,' Democrat says, but opponent disagrees\".\nPaul Flemming says \"It wouldn\u2019t be a story about the Democrats in Florida without Jon Ausman. Tallahassee\u2019s agent provocateur and Democratic national committeeman with battle ribbons from the 2008 Florida delegation-seating debacle has an analysis, naturally, of the campaign to chair the party. He spins out five scenarios in arguing for his preferred version \u2014 that is, a negotiated truce that takes advantage of the respective strengths of both Tant and Clendenin. But in the process, Ausman describes in his Scenario Four, broadcast to Florida Democrats, what\u2019s likely to happen:\"\n\u201cBoth Allison Tant and Alan Clendenin campaign hard for the office all the way through the 26 January 2013 (State Executive Committee) meeting. Their supporters continue to use both negative and positive techniques. Their supporters continue to refuse to negotiate and turn this into a winner-take-all result for their respective candidate. Somehow the (executive committee) heals over the following 120 days.\u201d\nNot only does that seem to be the way things are going, but it\u2019s also the most compelling way, from a reporter\u2019s perspective, for \u201cAs The Democratic World Turns\u201d to play out.\n\"Democrats give great entertainment value\".\n\"Expanding Medicaid to provide health care coverage to more than 1 million uninsured Floridians\"\nThe Tampa Bay Times editorial board: \"Now that Gov. Rick Scott has agreed to use more realistic cost estimates for the expansion of Medicaid, the benefits should be even clearer. Expanding Medicaid to provide health care coverage to more than 1 million uninsured Floridians is the right choice, and the federal government will cover most all of the cost. Scott's revised 10-year cost to the state of $3 billion still may be high, but it is closer to reality than the $26 billion he cited earlier this week.\" \"Medicaid by the numbers: a bargain\".\nCentral Florida Regional Transit Board\n\"Don Gaetz Backs Effort to Create Central Florida Regional Transit Board\".\n\"Short-term political calculations, rigid ideology and disdain for President Obama\"\nTom Nickens says \"We are about to find out if Gov. Rick Scott has learned anything about vision and investing in Florida's future \u2014 or whether he remains driven by short-term political calculations, rigid ideology and disdain for President Barack Obama.\"\n\"It's hard to be optimistic. The similarities between Scott's approach to high-speed rail and to the expansion of Medicaid are depressingly clear:\"\nWithhold support and criticize Obama.\nDuring his 2010 campaign, Scott refused to support high-speed rail, one of Obama's top priorities. He vigorously fought the Affordable Care Act and the expansion of Medicaid, the president's top legislative accomplishment so far. The fate of health care reform was settled by the U.S. Supreme Court, which upheld the guts of the law, and by Obama's re-election.\nListen to tea party followers, not business leaders.\nScott rode the tea party wave to narrowly win the governor's race. The tea party folks consider rail part of a government conspiracy to take away our cars and force everyone to live in high-rises. They hate Obama's health care law, which they consider to be socialized medicine, and they are lobbying Scott to reject the Medicaid expansion money. Central Florida business leaders supported high-speed rail, and hospital and insurance executives throughout Florida see the Medicaid expansion as an economic opportunity.\nIgnore the facts to appear fiscally conservative.\nScott insisted Florida would be on the hook for too much money for high-speed rail. But the federal government's $2.4 billion would have paid for nearly all of the construction cost, and private contractors would have covered any construction cost overruns or operating losses. In a Tampa Bay Times column last week, Scott contended Florida would be on the hook for $26 billion over 10 years for the Medicaid expansion. That is a wildly inflated figure that does not reflect federal law, which requires the federal government to cover 100 percent of the cost for the first three years and never less than 90 percent.\nCreate an illusion of reasonableness.\nScott met with Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood in Washington to talk about high-speed rail, raising hopes a deal could be reached. After he rejected the money, he let local officials try to save it when he had no intention of making it work. Last week, Scott flew to Washington to talk to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to talk about the Medicaid expansion. . . .\nAdd it all together, and it appears Scott is headed down the wrong path again.\n\"Will Scott do right for Florida this time?\"\n\"Charter school companies see vast potential for expansion\"\nThe Palm Beach Post editorial board's Jac Versteeg writes that, \"For all the hype and official favoritism, charter schools still serve only about 200,000 of Florida\u2019s nearly 2.7 million public school students. The for-profit charter school companies see vast potential for expansion. We see obvious proof that the legislature and Gov. Scott should make traditional public schools their priority.\" \"Editorial: Ease charter-school push\".\n\"Weekly Roundup: Health Care -- But Wait, There's More ...\".\nFlorida First Lady Ann Scott\n\"Florida First Lady Ann Scott finding her voice\".\n\"Lines may have been crossed\"\n\"News that Bernie Machen will remain president of the University of Florida has been widely regarded as a positive step for the school yearning for higher national prominence. But some UF supporters and observers say they are concerned lines may have been crossed in persuading Machen, 68, to postpone his retirement.\" \"Scott's nudge raises concerns at UF\".\nScott looks to avoid primary\nBill Cotterell: \"Scott is off to a fast start toward his 2014 re-election bid. Meanwhile, legislators in charge of committees of continuing existence transferred thousands of dollars through those organizations, which can collect limitless amounts of money and spread it around.\" \"Politicians report year-end finances, money moves\".\nScott \"running higher education on the cheap\"\nThe Tampa Bay Times editors: \"The Board of Governors, which oversees the state university system, needs visionary members with varied backgrounds who come from throughout the state. But Gov. Rick Scott didn't look much beyond his affluent Naples neighborhood or his simplistic views about running higher education on the cheap to appoint new members. It is a prescription for mediocrity when what the universities need is bold leadership and advocates for investing in their success.\" \"A recipe for mediocrity in higher ed\".

        "raw_content": "Avoid the nightmare\nKeep your water heating efficient for a warm, happy life\nMETRO CREATIVE CONNECTION A hot shower is all that gets us going on some of these dark, cold winter mornings, and a poorly maintained or simply old water heater that needs to be replaced can ruin a morning by dousing you with cold water instead.\nMETRO CREATIVE CONNECTION Resist the temptation to run your dishwasher until it is full. Running it half-empty is a less efficient use of your hot water.\nMETRO CREATIVE CONNECTION Tankless water heaters, also known as demand-type or instantaneous water heaters are the newest water heating technology. They rate at 98 percent efficient. You need to make sure you select a model that can deliver the output flow your household needs though, in case you plan to shower, run your dishwasher and possibly do laundry all at the same time.\nYou wake up one of these dark and cold mornings, dark like it\u2019s still night out, and stumble into the shower with your eyes barely open. You turn on that water, really blast it, and feel that nice hot water begin to do what it does best \u2014 warm you up.\nBut all of a sudden it gets lukewarm. Real quick. And after a few minutes it\u2019s barely warm at all.\nWhat a total nightmare.\nFor some of us, this morning annoyance might very much be a reality, especially as winter deepens and the snow and ice become ever more present outside. It\u2019s probably a sign of something more troublesome, though \u2014 it probably means our water heaters are overused and inefficient.\nAccording to the U.S. Department of Energy, the average household spends $400-600 on heating water every year, making it the second largest expense in a home, accounting for 14 percent to 18 percent of utility bills.\nLuckily, there are some things we can do to help the situation if we\u2019re finding our water getting cold quick and get ourselves back to enjoying those steamy showers while saving a bit of cash, too.\nMany conventional water heaters in homes \u2014 especially homes with families \u2014 have a reservoir of 20 to 80 gallons of hot water ready to be released a the turn of a tap. When hot water is used \u2014 always coming from the top of the tank \u2014 cold water enters the bottom of the tank to make sure it\u2019s always full.\nIn winter, though, the ground gets colder and that incoming cold water gets colder, too, meaning the water heater works harder to heat the water. Plus, sediment can get into the tank, which will cause problems and cold showers.\n\u201cTypically, if you\u2019re noticing you\u2019re running out of hot water quicker than before, it means it\u2019s filling up with sediment, and it\u2019s displacing hot water more than it had been,\u201d said Ron Dantzer, sales and project manager at Coe Heating & Air Conditioning in Fort Wayne.\nAnother problem may be a corroded tank.\nAccording to Dantzer, one area of town was previously supplied water which caused corrosion far faster than normal. Water heaters which were designed to last longer were bad by year 10, if they lasted that long, he said. The city began supplying water to that part of town and things began to get better.\n\u201cWith city water, they last 12 to 20 years, Dantzer said.\nIf your wagger heater\u2019s tank is corroded, it\u2019s time for an upgrade. But a tank full of sediment can be flushed.\nSteps for efficiency\nOur water heaters can run inefficiently during this time of year for a variety of reasons.\nMaybe we\u2019re running the dishwasher heavily with all the plates that need to be cleaned during the holiday season. Maybe the water heater is turned up too far. According to the Department of Energy, while most manufacturers set water heater thermostats at 140 degrees, most households only require them to be at 120 degrees.\nA water heater experiences heat loss both when it is in use and not. Keeping a water heater set at 140 degrees wastes anywhere from $36 to $61 in heat loss from idle time and more than $400 while being used, according to the Department of Energy.\nTo conserve even more energy after turning your heater\u2019s temperature down, you can also insulate the pipes carrying the water from the heater to fixtures. Strips of fiberglass insulation can be wound around the pipes and taped in place, or something easy like self-stick pipe insulation \u2014 sold in 3-foot lengths at many hardware stores \u2014 can be used.\nThe hot water tank itself can be insulated more, as well. The trick, though, is to be careful not to put insulation within six inches of the heater\u2019s vent if it\u2019s a gas heater and not ever to cover the thermostat \u2014 whether it\u2019s gas-heated or electric-heated.\nInsulating your tank can reduce heat loss while the heater is not in use by 24-45 percent and 7-16 percent while in use, according to the Department of Energy.\nAnd of course, there\u2019s always the simple \u2014 but maybe hard to do \u2014 way of conserving a little more.\nOnly run your dishwasher when it is full, especially if the it isn\u2019t an energy-efficient model. Washers and dryers which are more energy efficient are becoming the norm, but yours may not be, so only run them when they are full, too. Of course, not washing dishes or doing laundry isn\u2019t really an option.\nThe other thing you can do is just use less hot water in the shower.\nSometimes, though, you just need to upgrade.\nNewer water heaters have \u201cbeefed up the installation\u201d and sealed up the bottom to help prevent sediment getting in and keep the cold temperature out, according to Dantzer.\nImprovements in water heater technology have been made, too, for efficiency\u2019s sake.\nTankless water heaters, also known as demand-type or instantaneous water heaters, are the big thing when it comes to efficiency.\n\u201cThey\u2019re about 98 percent efficient,\u201d Dantzer said.\nThe advantage is you don\u2019t have to wait for a storage tank of cold water to heat up, but the disadvantage is there are limits to a tankless water heater\u2019s output flow rate, the Department of Energy said.\nTankless water heaters can supply hot water at a rate of two to five gallons per minute. Taking a shower and running the dishwasher at the same time can really stretch its limits, so it\u2019s not for everyone. But tankless water heaters can pay off for families.\n\u201cIf you\u2019re in a one bedroom home, where you\u2019re single or you\u2019re just a husband and wife and you shower once a day or so, there\u2019s really no reason to go to a tankless water heater,\u201d Dantzer said. \u201cBut if you\u2019re in a home with four plus people, and you have the dishwasher going or the hot tub going or a jacuzzi, the payback is really quick.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "The incorporation of the Atlas Crankshaft Inc. of Fostoria, for $50,000 was announced on Jan. 27, 1940. Theodore E. Clark, former president and general manager of the old Atlas Manufacturing Co., Edward A. Harper of Detroit and Tiffin Attorney George Schroth were listed as incorporators.\nMr. Clark stated the new concern would operate in the building on South Union Street which formerly housed the Bradley Motor Products Co. He said approximately 20 men would be employed at first and additional men would be added as production was stepped up.\nThe new business would make crankshafts and other products similar to those manufactured at the old Atlas Manufacturing Co.\nThe big story in 1941 had to be the bombing of Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7 and the subsequent declaration of war by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The headline on the Dec. 8 edition of the Fostoria Daily Review blared \"U.S.A. AT WAR.\"\nEugene Daugherty, 23, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Daugherty, 411 E. Tiffin St. was reported missing following the bombing at Pearl Harbor. Durward Laney, 21, of Toledo, the grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Burkett of Fostoria, was killed as a result of the bombing. Both men were in the U.S. Navy.\nThe news in 1942 was filled with was exploits, but the two major stories were the 2 R's - rationing and registration. Hundreds of Fostoria men were required to register for the draft and all Fostorians were affected by the rationing of many vital products including cars, car parts, gasoline, food items and clothing (such as nylons for women). The rationing not only affected the local residents, but had serious repercussions for local merchants, who had great difficulty getting items to sell.\nA U.S. Army board of inquiry, composed of an air force operations officer, a medical corps officer and an army intelligence civilian investigator, were in Fostoria on Nov. 1, 1943, attempting to establish the cause of the crash of a B-24-D four-motored Liberator bomber on the Earl Ash farm, five miles east of Fostoria. The crash a couple of days earlier caused the death of three U.S. Army airmen.\nThe plane was manned by only a skeleton crew when it began a routine training flight from Palm Springs, Fla., to Detroit, Mich.\nThe investigators were aided by Seneca County Sheriff George Steinmetz.\nOn April 23, 1944, Clement O. Miniger, 69, one of Fostoria's most illustrious sons, who became one of the nation's leading industrialists, passed away in his suburban home near Toledo.\nMr. Miniger, who came here with his parents when he was a child, was graduated from Fostoria High School and always considered Fostoria his home town. His parents, Samuel and Clementine, lived on West Tiffin Street until their deaths. A brother Charles, still lived on Wood Street and a sister, Mrs. James (Anna) Sellers, lived on West Fremont Street.\nChairman of the board of directors of the Electrical Auto Lite Corp. at the time of his death, Miniger was instrumental in establishing two of the company plants, the foundry and the spark plug division, in Fostoria. He organized Electrical Auto Lite in 1911.\nMr. Miniger also ranked as a great figure in finance and philanthropy, aiding many Fostoria projects over the years, with his dollars.\nFostoria and surrounding areas were paralyzed on Jan. 1, 1945, by the worst winter storm in more than 60 years. Terrific winds that piled snow into great drifts, accompanied by sub-zero temperatures, snarled traffic and posed a threat to life and property.\nHundreds of motorists were stranded in the rural districts. Farmers throughout the area went to their rescue. When it was found impossible to drag cars from the snow banks with horses or tractors, farmers took the motorists into their homes. More than 50 persons spent the night in one farm house on the Fostoria-Fremont Road.\nEvery road out of Fostoria was blocked by drifts. All bus-line traffic through Fostoria was stopped and railroad trains were running from one to eight hours behind schedule. Fostoria store were running out of food and the war plants were hit by rampant absenteeism.\nMore snow would fall in succeeding weeks, making the winter of 1945 one to remember.\nFostoria got a radio station in 1946. WFOB-FM went on the air in December as one of the most powerful independent radio stations in Ohio.\nThe quest for a station license here was spearheaded by local attorney, Laurence Harry, who had worked with radio transmitters while serving in the U.S. Navy.\nProgramming, limited though it was at first, originated from studios located in the basement of the First National Bank building at Main and Tiffin streets.\nThe Fostoria Veterans of Foreign Wars Band won the first of a dozen national championships on Sept. 3, 1947 at the national encampment in Cleveland.\nThe band, directed by Richard Downs, who was also the Fostoria High School band director, received a $1,000 first-prize check.\nThousands of Fostorians were on hand to greet the local musicians when they returned to Fostoria by train with their national trophy.\nOn March 20, 1948, residents of Fostoria and vicinity were busy repairing the thousands upon thousands of dollars in damage caused by a tornado which ripped through the area shortly before 1 p.m. the previous day.\nIt was hard for those who viewed the damage to understand how there were no deaths or serious injuries here. There were five deaths and scores of injuries in other sections of northwestern Ohio.\nIn Wayne, scores of trees fell on houses, roofs were ripped off and windows were broken. In Risingsun, the town hall roof was ripped off, the school building was damaged and many houses were hard-hit.\nThe Foster duck farm, near Wayne, sustained several thousands of dollars in damage. One-third of the flock of 20,000 ducklings was killed or sustained injuries that would later cause death.\nThe roof was blown from the recently-erected projection building at the Star Lite Drive-in at U.S. 23 and 224. Several trees and high tension wires were blown down in Fostoria.\nDr. James K. Timanus, son of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Timanus of Fostoria, and his wife, Dorothy, were killed when the Great Lakes cruise ship Noronic exploded, burst into flames and sank at its pier in Toronto, Canada on Sept. 17, 1949.\nDr. Timanus, had received his doctor of medicine degree the previous June. He and his wife, the former Dorothy Coleman of Cleveland, met while both were students at the College of Wooster. Their two children, Jimmy, 3, and Barbara, 1, were staying with their paternal grandparents in Fostoria.\nDr. Timanus had recently moved to Lakewood where he began his duties as an intern at St. Luke's Hospital in Cleveland.",

        "raw_content": "Arco researchers completed the fourth case study about Italian Social Enterprises within the European Project Efeseiis (Enabling the Flourishing and Evolution of Social Entrepreneurship for Innovative and Inclusive Societies). Fabrizio Aj\u00f2, member of the board of directors of Life Beyond Tourism Ltd. and Carlotta Del Bianco, Vice President of Romualdo Del Bianco Foundation were interviewed to discover the mission behind the company and foundation\u2019s work. Life Beyond Tourism, Romualdo Del Bianco\u2019s operational arm, is a start up for the betterment of the peaceful coexistence and dialogue among people, through the promotion of local cultures, territories and artistic heritage. One of its fulfilment is VivaFirenze.it, a non-profit hotel reservation site for Florence and surrounding destinations. Besides booking one\u2019s own accommodation, the tourist has the possibility of funding a project of restoration or promotion of Florence\u2019s artistic and cultural patrimony through the cost of his/her reservation.\nVivaFirenze: supporting culture through tourism.\nVivaFirenze was born starting from a reflection about our everyday reality. Despite IT revolution, basis of the globalizing process we are experiencing, led to a drastic facilitation of all kinds of transactions, it made their understanding much more complex and their depiction confused. In present days the most common way to reserve a room or a travel, in one\u2019s own country too, is through an online website, usually run by some multinational corporation. The former phone call to the hotel\u2019s owner has been replaced by a click which virtually asks to a foreign office employee for calling on our behalf. In 2014, economically speaking, this meant that 10% of Florence\u2019s hotel revenues leaked to foreign economics to pay these online services.\nVivaFirenze.it stands for a business which aims at maintaining that percentage of commissions within the national borders to sustain the local economy. Equally, it directly supports the local artistic and cultural heritage, channelling its clients\u2019 reservation costs to projects for the improvement of Florence and surroundings\u2019 patrimony. The traveller is actively involved in the virtuous cycle VivaFirenze.it started: on the one hand the tourist himself/herself chooses the project to fund and on the other hand his/her contribution links the culture, driving force of Italian tourism, to the touristic facilities which make a living from this sector. The combination of hotel reservation and fundraising in an integrated service, puts these two complement worlds near again and fosters their parallel development.\nNowadays the company is sustaining four projects, selected through a competition in 2014, and it provides instant hotel reservation in about three-hundreds facilities. The business\u2019s potential growth is sizeable, even if the sector competitiveness is high and the current legal and commercial system does not endorse enterprises with a social objective. Quoting one of Fabrizio\u2019s examples,\nFoundations or NGOs benefit some special financial conditions for the purchase of advertisement spaces or billboards. That does not applied to online advertisement spaces, which are very expensive due to high barriers to entry. It is fundamental a bigger effort in order to make the tourism more and more informed and sustainable, both in cultural and environmental terms.",

Keep going. That is the mark of bravery.\nOpen your ears and hear the joy of the world around you. Open your heart and dance to the joy of the world around you. It's all there. It's up to you whether or not to participate.\nAt any given fork in the road, you can turn toward hope or you can turn toward fear. Toward hope, we can build and grow, and sometimes hurt, but we will learn from that hurt. Toward fear, we can cringe and tear down. We seek to avoid being hurt, but cause more hurt in the process. Reach for hope, and even when you fail you may still move forward. Keep moving forward.\nTo date, you have survived 100% of your worst days. That's quite a track record! Think about that the next time you're facing a bad day and realize that, just maybe, you don't give yourself enough credit. You've done it before. You can do it again.\nOur culture puts a great deal of emphasis on beauty - on success, on accomplishment, on perfection, etc. - but often forgets to take notice of what is required to get there. It's great to stand on top of that mountain enjoying the view, but getting there takes work. It often takes difficult, dirty, ugly work, and it is necessary that we acknowledge that. We need to be mindful of the whole of life in order to make the most of life.\n\"I have a right to speak my mind,\" is something we see bandied around like it answers everything these days, and it's not wrong. You do have that right, but you also have the right to think about what you're saying. You have the right to determine the veracity and merit of what you're saying, and you have the right to make a better world. We won't get that last one without doing a few more things than just relying on the most basic of rights. You have the right to do many things. Now imagine the results if you balanced that with being kind.\nWe do not inherit the world from our ancestors. We borrow it from our children. We have a responsibility to turn it over to them better than we found it, in every way that we can make it better. That won't always be easy, but nothing worth doing ever is.\nWe do not do our best thinking when we are agitated or worked up. Sometimes we do need that motivation to get the ball rolling in the first place, but, once we have it rolling, we need to take a step back and let the water clear. If it is worth doing, it is worth doing well, and we have a better chance of accomplishing that if we are thinking clearly.\nRobert Heinlein once said, \"To enjoy the flavor of life, take big bites. Moderation is for monks.\" Life is made up of so many possible experiences, and surely, even if we are just passing through, the point is to get the most out of it that we can. We dance, we sing, we learn, we grow, we live. Why live if we are not going to be alive, if we are not going to experience life? You may never see it all, but it can certainly be fun to try.",

        "raw_content": "AND DECLARATION ON THE SITUATION IN THE MIDDLE EAST\nAdopted by the thirty-third Meeting of\nChairmen/Coordinators of the Chapters\nof the Group of 77\nParis, 2-3 April 2002\n1. We, Chairmen/Coordinators of the Chapters of the Group of 77, meeting in Paris from 2 to 3 April 2002, declare our full commitment to the Havana Programme of Action and the South Summit Declaration as the two guiding documents of the south, reflecting the interests and concerns of the developing countries.\n2. We reaffirm our commitment to the Millennium Declaration and call upon the international community and the United Nations system to fully and speedily implement the provisions set out in that Declaration and in other major United Nations conferences and summits and their respective reviews, in particular those related to development and achieving the goal of poverty eradication.\n3. We are meeting at a time of great uncertainty and expectations. The economic crisis that has affected most of our countries is a major threat to our future stability and growth. The obstacles are many and formidable. This year's calendar of activities including the preparations for the World Conference in Ageing, Johannesburg Summit and the World Food Summit should be fully explored in search of a new and more enlightened basis for international cooperation.\n4. The political changes, the information development and technological advances of the last decade have provided a stronger basis for economic growth. The world of today has the necessary resources, knowledge and expertise, as well as the technical means by which theses assets can be shared between countries. Its global economic interdependence offers the prospects of higher productivity and living standards. However, it also links national economies more closely to exogenous financial and other disturbances. The financial and economic crisis we are presently witnessing is global in its causes and its implications. Its negative impact will unfortunately be felt perhaps most severely by the developing countries because of the vulnerability of developing economies to external forces.\n5. The Group of 77 will strive in the UN to develop its full potential and address urgent and serious economic and social problems facing developing countries. We reiterate the importance of the United Nations as the central forum for dialogue and negotiations on issues relating to international cooperation for development. The G- 77 Chapters attach great political importance to the strengthening of the role of the United Nations in promoting international cooperation for economic and social development. We strongly believe that the United Nations should be allowed to develop its full potential in the field of international economic cooperation. To that end, the realization of the right to development should be given utmost priority by the United Nations.\n6. The landmark event of the Havana Summit needs no elaboration as to its importance and significance. We all attach the highest priority to the outcome of this first Summit of the Group of 77 since its establishment in 1964. We believe that the important result coming out of the Havana Summit was the contribution it played in reestablishing solidarity and commitment of the membership of the Group to the principles of the founding fathers. The founding fathers of the Group of 77, strove to build a just and equitable world economic system based on shared perceptions of the need to readdress the existing economic order.\n7. Today, South-South cooperation is a prominent item on the agenda of the Group of 77. The Group of 77 will maintain and strengthen its unity and expand functional cooperation among the Chapters. We are well aware that there are no miraculous answers to the problems of international trade and development. We strongly believe that bringing about the solutions to the problems is a process. It can be speeded up; it can be directed and it can be made less turbulent, but it will remain a process that takes place through cooperation and partnership for development.\n8. We reiterate our firm commitment to further strengthening South-South cooperation. This modality of cooperation is increasingly important, both as a strategy in support of development and as a means of ensuring the effective participation of developing countries in the emerging global economic order. We believe that there is a need to consolidate ongoing efforts, to further increase resources, and to identify priority areas for South-South cooperation. These priority areas should be included in the cooperation among developing countries to enhance their understanding of complex global economic, environmental and human settlement issues and to formulate joint strategies, especially in the field of regional and sub-regional economic cooperation. We are very confident that the G-77 High-level Conference on Science and Technology in Dubai next October, as well as the High-level Conference on South-South Cooperation in Caracas next December will be a major events and an excellent opportunity to reassert developing countries' solidarity and their desire and ability to act together.\n9. We believe that respect for the diversity of cultures, tolerance, dialogue and cooperation, in a climate of mutual trust and understanding are important factors for the promotion of development, peace and solidarity among nations. The ongoing process of globalization, facilitated by the rapid development of new information and communication technologies, though representing a challenge for cultural diversity, creates the conditions for renewed dialogue among cultures and civilizations. In this context we call on UNESCO to continue to play its role in the fulfilment of its ideals which place moral and intellectual solidarity among its principal objectives. The major UNESCO programmes illustrate these concerns which aim at ensuring the preservation and promotion of science, information, technology, education, culture through the implementation of various innovative programmes and initiatives such as Dakar Forum \"Education for All\".\n10. We express our determination and commitment to bring the action of the Group of 77 to a new level of commitment, to strengthen its institutional effectiveness with a view to consolidating common positions of our Group on all the issues and activities of the United Nations system. In this context we believe that: Streamlining the flow of information among chapters will increase awareness of the key issues being dealt with by each chapter. Information flows could be facilitated through more regular meetings between chapters especially prior to major UN conferences, video conferences, publication of the Group of 77 journal and the management of the G.77 website.\n11. We hereby declare our firm resolve and commitment to continue to contribute to strengthening the role of the United Nations in the promotion of peace and development. Indeed, development is a prerequisite for lasting peace. The realization of the right to development as a basic human right should be given utmost priority.\nOF THE CHAIRMEN/COORDINATORS\nOF THE CHAPTERS OF THE GROUP OF 77\nParis, 2 - 3 April 2002\nThe Chairmen/Coordinators of the Chapters of the Group of 77, meeting in Paris at the headquarters of the UNESCO from 2 to 3 April 2002, and referring to the Declaration adopted on the 16 November by the 25th Annual Meeting of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Group of 77 (Para 30), in New York, vigourously condemn the dread policy enforced by the government of Ariel Sharon against the Palestinian People and his national authority.\nThis policy aims at terrorising and asphyxiating the Palestinian Civilian Population through all means, be they military or economic; its further objective is to distroy the Palestinian National Authority, a democratically-elected body. This policy threatens to inflame the entire Middle-East; its stated objective is, in fact, to drag the entire region into a new war which threatens world peace and stability.\nThe Chairmen/Coordinators of the Chapters of the Group of 77 vigorously condemn this policy, which casts a pall over any prospect for peace in the Middle-East.\nThe Chairmen/Coordinators of the Chapters of the Group of 77 call upon the international community to take urgent action in order to put an end to this escalation.\nIn this regard the Chairmen/Coordinators of the Chapters of the Group of 77 support the declaration of the Director-General of UNESCO, Mr. Ko\u00efchiro Matsuura, who has stated that no lasting peace can be imposed by armed force and that it is urgent for negotiations with the elected representatives of the Palestinian people to be resumed.\nThe Chairmen/Coordinators of the Chapters of the Group of 77 call for the immediate resumption of the peace negotiations based upon the relevant resolutions of the United Nations, in particular Security Council resolutions 242, 338 and 1397 and request the Chairman of the Group of 77 in New York to contact the Security Council and other parties to reiterate this position.\nThe Chairmen/Coordinators of the Chapters of the Group of 77 fully support the relevant resolutions of the Security Council and the peace efforts in the region, including the Arab Peace Plan adopted in Beirut on 28 March 2002.\nThe Chairmen/Coordinators of the Chapters of the Group of 77 mandate the Chairman of the Group of 77 in New York to bring this Declaration to the attention of the member States of the Group for their consideration.",

Click here to view the list.\nA few words from some of our members\nI had been struggling with my gambling addiction for almost 20 years. It started when I was fourteen with Bingo, then progressed to Sport Select, VLT's, the Internet, and when I was of age, to the Casino. There was no amount of money that I wouldn't spend and nothing I wouldn't gamble on. Today, with a lot of hard work, the help of my higher power, my sponsor, and others in the program, I have been blessed with more than two years of sobriety. The future looks bright, and if I continue the things I am doing, I will continue to arrest the disease that has plagued my life for so long. So, if you are reading this and think that your story is like mine, or that you aren't sure if your life can be turned around, give G.A. a try and get back the life that you deserve! Dwayne\nUnfortunately my story is too common. I became a widow, and then a compulsive gambler. After my husband died I found I would wander to the casino to escape from my own thoughts. After about three years I found I was lying about where I had been because I was ashamed. I went to my first meeting not believing I really had a problem. I got a year in and walked away due to a personality conflict. Three years later I was back, broken and defeated. All the insurance money was gone, retirement gone, credit cards and line of credit maxed out. Because of Gamblers Anonymous I now have a happy ending. I have made friends, purchased a home, and retired. I will be celebrating my 10th birthday and still attend meetings regularly. Life is good.Patricia\nBefore the GA program I hated myself and I used gambling to escape the feelings of self loathing. Today I'm not perfect, but I can honestly say that I love who I am, and can gladly accept my place in the universe. Through the will of my higher power, the fellowship and the 12 steps I am capable of so much more than I ever was when I was feeding my addiction. Five years ago I didn't have the will to live. Today, I have a beautiful family, stability and serenity. None of this would be possible without Gambler's Anonymous meetings and the 12 steps. I honestly believe I owe everything I have accomplished over this time to the program and without it I would still be the insecure, suffering person I was in action. Gambler's Anonymous saved my life, and I honestly believe it can save anyone who wants to be saved and is willing to do the work.Mike B\nGamblers Anonymous saved my life! Plain and simple. I spent many years telling myself that I would quit when I wanted to; that I wasn\u2019t gambling as bad as other people; and, that I was entitled to gamble because it was fun and I had earned it. Sadly, none of that was true. I couldn\u2019t quit. All my money and time was devoted to gambling. And every time I went to the casino, I did see some of the same people who looked as desperate and as beaten as me. Gambling was no longer fun and games, but just an outlet to forgetting my loneliness and pain. Coming to the Gamblers Anonymous program introduced me to other people who understood my struggles. I found out that no one was shocked or judged me on the things I\u2019d done to keep my addiction going. I learned that I wasn\u2019t a bad person, just a very sick person. I've gone over 13 years without gambling. Life is so much easier! I can\u2019t explain how the GA program works to help a compulsive gambler. I only know that it does!Jilly\nI joined GA to stop gambling. I was deep in debt, unemployed, & unemployable. I had been gambling for 34 years, but the last 4 years were hell. I didn't know where to turn, so I thought, ``What have I got to lose``? At first, I went to all of the meetings that were available. I kept hearing things from other members that I could relate to & I started to feel better about myself. Other members kept telling me that life would get better, & it did. The GA fellowship saved my life, my marriage, & has taught me how to live. I haven't gambled for over 20 years thanks to GA. I still attend 2-3 meetings per week, because I want to stay stopped. I'm truly grateful.Jim\nI started gambling young and believed it innocent enough. I had always felt like I wasn't ever going to fit in. I now see that when I was gambling all the fears, hurt, anger and loneliness were temporarily masked. I found myself making many poor decisions hurting those in my life (and myself) more and more at each turn. I eventually ran out of options, ending up destitute, my family not knowing what had become of me - and honestly not too sure myself. I had heard of G.A. and found the number. I placed a call, and started going to meetings, hearing things that I could relate to and feeling some hope. I met the man who has become my sponsor. He guided me through the steps and learning to practice them, which have given me a whole new lease on life. I have been fortunate, to have the gift of desperation. The willingness to face my fears and to start to live a new life I never knew existed. One where fear, remorse, guilt and anger no longer run me. I can hold my head high as I live honestly a day at a time, never having to be alone.Mike G\nI lived in constant fear; of creditors, other people, failure, new situations - you name it. Feeling alone and uncomfortable around others, full of fear and self-doubt, gambling was my way of escaping. And boy, did I escape. When I came to Gamblers Anonymous, my bank accounts were $45,000 overdrawn, I was living in my car, and totally self-consumed. My only thoughts were focused on making the next bet. Many nights after a big loss at the casino, I'd sit in the parking lot telling myself 'I'm never doing this again'. Then I'd be back there the next day. Then I came to GA and surrendered, got a sponsor, and got to work on myself. Now, I live with purpose. This program and the people in it have helped me find true happiness and self-worth. The 12 steps, sponsorship, and attending meetings is truly my key to a wonderful life.Adam",

Comments Off on Non-Sterile Cleanrooms and Microbial Monitoring Programs\nThere are several reasons one would establish a microbial monitoring program for a non-sterile cleanroom.

Comments Off on Considerations for Going Green with your Cleanroom\nBuilding or retrofitting an operation to be environmentally friendly is not a new idea, but it is an increasingly popular one. On top of numerous benefits, executives feel it is both the \u201cright thing\u201d and expected by clients. However, with cleanrooms, there are many people who decide not to go green. Here we will outline some things to consider for your own facility.\nLeadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is the most widely used green building certification program in the world. It is a voluntary program providing third-party certification of green buildings through the US Green Building Council (USGBC). It\u2019s a certification process for materials, methods of construction, operation, and also maintenance.\nThere are, however, alternatives.

Comments Off on How to Support the Integrity of your Cleanroom through Conversation\nCleanrooms depend on people in a number of ways. Staff is needed to carry out tasks, but they are also responsible for completing tasks correctly. In a cleanroom, there is a very clear, \u201ccorrect\u201d way to perform duties. Furthermore, people are most responsible for producing contaminates. Any failure in a cleanroom is most likely the result of a person who didn\u2019t follow protocol.\nWhy does this happen? Good people and good workers are still prone to mistakes, but that isn\u2019t entirely what is wrong. People who are not engaged, improperly trained, or not invested in the company\u2019s mission are less likely to give it their \u201call\u201d when at work. So how does a manager help staff be all they can be?\nIt turns out that simply talking to employees will help dissolve issues that cause apathy, carelessness, or unproductiveness. According to \u2026 Read More \u00bb\nLighting your Cleanroom\nby Gerbig in General Cleanroom. Comments Off on Lighting your Cleanroom\nInstalling lighting systems in a cleanroom can be a challenge because of the air filtration systems. Depending on the class of cleanroom, the ceiling may be covered with filters, leaving little room for light fixtures. Yet finding a lighting system that works effectively with the HVAC system is only one piece of the puzzle. You still need fixtures that maintain the integrity of the workspace, require little maintenance, and of course, provide appropriate light.\nWhen choosing your lighting system, the first thing you\u2019ll look at is the fixture style. There are three common ones, and choices depend largely on cleanroom class.\nISO 8 to ISO 5: Recessed troffers are most ideal in these environments. There is enough space in the ceiling and plenum in all cases. Your typical ISO 8 \u2013 5 cleanrooms are pharmaceutical, semiconductor, chemical lab, and electronic assembly.\nISO 5 and ISO \u2026 Read More \u00bb",

The entity runs Imperial Pacific Resort (pictured), a casino complex on Saipan, part of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, a United States jurisdiction in the Western Pacific.\nThe announcement by the operating unit was made on Friday. It did not give a reason for Mr Cheang\u2019s resignation. He had been in post for under one year.\nThe statement said the operating unit of Hong Kong-listed Imperial Pacific International Ltd was grateful for Mr Cheang\u2019s service in a range of roles over three years, adding he had made \u201csignificant contributions to our company\u2019s success\u201d.\nIn reporting his resignation, the Marianas Variety newspaper noted Mr Cheang had become chief executive of the operating unit in January, replacing Mark Brown, who had resigned the month before.\nThe newspaper said the departure of Mr Cheang followed the resignation in August of his predecessor as chairman, Marco Teng, and the subsequent resignation of executive director Cai Lingli.\nIn its interim balance sheet filed at the end of August, Imperial Pacific said VIP rolling chip volume was about HKD100.3 billion for the first six months of this year, down 48.9 percent in the corresponding period last year.\nGross trade receivables \u2013 typically associated with money owed by VIP gamblers for losses they have incurred while playing on credit \u2013 for the six months to June 30 were up slightly, at HKD13.70 billion (US$1.75 billion), compared to HKD13.28 billion in the same period 12 months earlier.\nIn August the listed business was given until February 28, 2021, to complete the initial phase of Imperial Pacific Resort. In July last year, the listed entity said it had reached an agreement with the Saipan authorities to amend the licence and downsize the scale of the development.\nImperial Pacific had mentioned building a facility with 329 rooms in a four- or five-star hotel, gaming area of 14,140 square metres (152,202 sq feet), villas, restaurants, retail and meeting spaces.",

        "raw_content": "Posadas: A Lesson in Hospitality\nNovember 28, 2016 By Hugo Olaiz Leave a Comment\nI grew up in Argentina\u2014far away from the countries that celebrate Posadas. I experienced my first Posada in 1999, at a time when my spouse, who is Anglo, and I were worshipping with a predominantly Mexican congregation in Salt Lake City. Three years later, we invited our friends from that church for the first Posada we ever held in our home. I loved the opportunity to welcome our friends, and I felt that the message of the Posadas is simple yet powerful: By welcoming the poor and the needy, as with Joseph and Mary, we are welcoming Jesus into our midst.\nThe Posadas (Spanish for inn, lodging, or shelter) are an Advent candlelight procession and celebration. In Mexico and some parts of Central America, Colombia, Venezuela, and Ecuador, it is traditional to hold Posadas during the nine days before Christmas, beginning December 16 and ending December 24. Through song, the Posadas reenact Mary and Joseph\u2019s long, frustrating search for a place where Jesus could be born. This tradition re-enacts the story told in Luke 2:1-7\u2014but with a twist: At the end of the song, instead of rejecting them, the \u201cinnkeeper\u201d welcomes Mary and Joseph into the home.\nChildren and adults celebrate Posadas at St. Peter\u2019s Episcopal Church in Pasadena, TX\nThis year, I want to challenge you to get your family involved in a Posada. It does not have to be a big production, and it does not have to be repeated for nine days. In the U.S., a growing number of congregations, both Latino and Anglo, are adapting the tradition of the Posadas into a one-night event. The whole congregation, as well as neighbors and friends, are invited to participate.\nYou may be wondering if it\u2019s ok for a non-Latino family to appropriate this tradition. Based on my own experience, my answer is a resounding yes. The Posadas are, above all, a cultural tradition. Latinos are overwhelmingly pleased to see Americans adopt (and adapt!) traditional Posadas. At the end of the Posada song, it is not only Joseph and Mary, but all the Pilgrims who are invited into the inn. This, it seems to me, points to a profound theological reality: whether Galileans or Judeans, whether Anglos, Latinos, or anything in between, we are all in this journey together, following the same Jesus.\nHere are three ways your family might participate in a Posada:\n1. Take your family to a Posada celebrated by a local church. Offer to bring your guitar and help play the song, dress up your children as angels or shepherds, or help with the food.\n2. Organize a Posada in your own church. On the page posted at VenAdelante.org/posadas, you will find everything you need: a complimentary guide geared toward congregations, YouTube and MP3 versions of the Posadas song, and links to a Facebook page where people and churches are posting pictures and videos of their own Posadas. Produced by Forward Movement, all these materials are free of charge in both English and Spanish.\n3. Organize your own home Posadas! The guide you\u2019ll find at VenAdelante.org/posadas can be easily adapted to a home setting. Invite one or two more families to celebrate with you. Have the children learn the Posadas song beforehand, and ask them to make a pi\u00f1ata.\nAbove all, relax! If this is your first Posada, start small. Ask for advice from Latino friends, but remember there are no wrong ways to celebrate Posadas. Enjoy the opportunity to spend time with friends and family, share a meal, and remind children that we\u2019re joyfully awaiting the birth of Jesus.\nHave you ever celebrated Posadas? Where and when?\nFiled Under: Liturgical Year Tagged With: Advent, Forward Movement, Latino, Posadas",

        "title": "Legislature at Crossover: Issues of Interest to Credit Unions in Play \u2013 Creating Influence",
        "raw_content": "In Georgia, for a bill to pass the state Legislature fully, it is required to pass its originating chamber by a specific date (so as to provide time for the opposite chamber to debate). This day is known as \u201ccrossover day,\u201d and for this year it was day 28, which was Wednesday. Crossover day is a day packed with a flood of bills on both the Senate and House floor attempting to stay alive in the process and \u201ccross over\u201d \u2026 which equates to long hours through the evening debating bills, and hectic hearings leading up to the day. Some of the issues of note to credit unions addressed included:\nAppraisal Management Companies: H.B. 775 by Rep. Alan Powell (R-Hartwell) seeks to bring Georgia law on regulating appraisal management companies into compliance with federal statute. This is the bill on which GCUA worked with Rep. Powell to add an amendment to correct a provision that had excluded credit unions in the definition of federally regulated appraisal management companies with other financial institution-owned appraisal management companies. This bill passed the full House on February 28th in time for crossover, and heads to the Senate for consideration.\nCredit Freeze Changes: Two of the three separate bills that seek to remove the fee credit reporting agencies are permitted to charge consumers who request a freeze passed their originating chambers by crossover day on February 26th: H.B. 866 by Rep. Scot Turner (R-Holly Springs) and S.B. 376 by Sen. David Shafer (R-Duluth). Both of these bills seek to do the same thing \u2013 remove the fee for a credit freeze. One of these bills will likely move forward, and both will continue to be monitored closely through the process for any changes that could impact lending operations.\nCredit Insurance: On February 23rd H.B. 938 by Rep. Darlene Taylor (R-Thomasville) was heard in a House Insurance Committee hearing; this bill seeks to provide an option to credit unions (and others) a form of regulatory relief with the option to obtain one license for credit insurance sales as opposed to licensing each individual. The bill would require regular education of those individuals tasked with selling the insurance in their roles (five hours initially, and then two hours annually) to ensure that consumer protections are upheld in the event an institution opts to have one overreaching license. GCUA has engaged CUNA Mutual on the bill, and it is intended to make the registration/licensing process less cumbersome on the institution, while ensuring that the individuals receive training. The bill passed the full House on February 28th and continues in the process to become law.\nElder Abuse Protections/Power of Attorney Reform: On February 28th the power of attorney technical changes bill, H.B. 897 by Rep. Chuck Efstration (R-Dacula), passed the full House. GCUA has been engaged with Rep. Efstration on this issue, sitting down with him and other interested parties to ensure that what is being sought is positive and workable. While he intends for the bill itself to be \u201cclean-up\u201d in nature, it will be monitored closely to ensure that credit unions\u2019 operational ability surrounding the power of attorney process is not negatively impacted. In addition, it will be shepherded through the process to protect against attempts to add greater liability to financial institutions, while protecting the ability of authorities to investigate and prosecute financial elder abuse and fraud.\nElimination of Certain Tax Credit Programs: On February 26th a bill that originally sought to remove 70 tax exemptions was passed in the Senate Finance committee. S.B. 432 by Sen. John Albers (R-Alpharetta) was amended in the process to institute a state review of the 70 tax exemptions/credits for various income tax as well as sales and use tax, and touches groups such as the National Guard, churches, food banks, 4-H, disaster recovery and aquariums. None of the 70 tax credits being analyzed impacts credit unions; however, the bill will be monitored closely. Tax exemptions were analyzed all throughout the off session in 2017 and is expected to continue in the summer/fall of 2018.\nForeclosure Protections for Active Military: H.B. 676 by Rep. Paulette Rakestraw (R-Powder Springs) has been amended with the changes sought to protect credit unions from falling under different requirements and protections surrounding lending to military. This bill seeks to provide foreclosure protections to active military and is couched as an aid to the state in base realignment closures, and legislators are very keen to keep military bases in the state (for good reason). The measure would delay any foreclosure action during a servicemember\u2019s active duty and for a protected period afterwards, and GCUA has worked, testified and lobbied to amend the bill so that it tracks federal military law (Servicemembers Civil Relief Act) foreclosure protections so as to prevent regulatory burdens and confusion, as well as the negative provisions that were in the bill originally that opened the door to judicial foreclosure and expanded the protections beyond mortgage lending. The bill was never selected by the full House on crossover day; however, there are other \u201cvehicles\u201d that this language can be attached onto (other bills in a similar code section), so it will continue to be monitored closely to ensure that the amendments sought are retained so as to just mirror federal law.\nHOA Issues: H.B. 410 by Rep. Alan Powell (R-Hartwell) seeks to regulate what information HOAs share in letters requested for mortgage closings, and what fees could be charged, and has been hotly contested in the process. There have been multiple versions of the bill, and throughout it has been addressed to ensure that in the process to find a compromise it does not impact the lending operations at credit unions. The version of the bill that was addressed on the House floor on February 28th denotes that HOAs would have a $250 cap on the fee. However, more changes are expected when the bill travels to the Senate, and it is being closely monitored to ensure that credit union operations are protected, and to ensure that HOA interests do not insert language to supersede the lien status of the lender.\nImprovement Zones: On February 28th S.B. 358 by Sen. Michael Rhett (D-Marietta) was debated on the Senate floor; this bill seeks to create banking improvement zones with the intent to encourage branches in areas where there are few options for financial institutions. The bill encourages cities and counties to utilize public funds as a quasi-incentive for banks but is problematic in its application and the expectations it sets and will still need to overcome multiple hurdles in the legislative process.\nPayments Between Insurers and Health Providers: H.B. 818 by Rep. Lee Hawkins (R-Gainesville) was delayed when it returned to the House Insurance Committee on February 26th for a technical correction (as the bill was slated to have a full House vote), then was passed by the full House on February 28th. The bill is directed solely at the fees charged between insurance providers and doctors\u2019 offices (and not on consumer transactions). This bill was modified earlier (to the positive) to make it explicitly clear that it is applied to those insurance payments to the provider, and to prevent insurance companies from requiring providers to accept only payment via virtual credit card.\nProperty Taxes: H.R. 1317 was introduced by Rep. Andy Welch (R-McDonough) to create a study committee in the off session that would review how real property is taxed. This study committee will need to be watched closely during the summer/fall to ensure it does not shift into a direction to impact credit unions.\nRegulations: S.B. 338 by Sen. William Ligon (R-Brunswick) was debated in a House Judiciary subcommittee on February 27th; this bill seeks to implement changes to how the state Legislature can put a halt to proposed regulations to any state agency, and how new rules and regulations are proposed. This bill will continue to be monitored closely to ensure that credit unions are not disparately impacted in this process.\nSavings for Higher Education: On February 23rd the House passed H.B. 664 by Rep. Sam Teasley (R-Marietta) to increase the amount one can place in 529 plans for tax credit purposes. The bill will continue to be monitored through the process to help incent more to save \u2013 and prevent credit unions from being impacted from a taxation perspective (as any tax bill can and often is amended in the legislative process).\nSelf-Settled Trusts: On February 27th H.B. 441 by Rep. Barry Fleming (R-Harlem) was debated in a Senate Banking hearing. This bill, which is carried over from last year, seeks to permit a new form of trust account to be offered in Georgia, and is monitored closely to ensure that creditors have the capability to claim on assets that were included in making a decision on a loan (if the assets were placed under the trust afterwards).\nTowed Vehicles: On February 26th S.B. 446 by Sen. Tyler Harper (R-Ocilla) passed the full Senate; this is one of the two bills that seek to rewrite the towed-vehicle law so as to allow a streamlined process for abandoned vehicles to be disposed of. GCUA worked with the interested parties last year on a similar bill to ensure that the lienholder notification remains intact, and these new versions retain the notice.",

Nothing about their fates was known until 1999, when the National Security Archive publicly released the death squad diary, a military logbook created in the mid-1980s to record the abduction, secret detention and deaths of scores of people, Villatoro and Linares among them. In their entries, the document contains a coded reference to their executions. Today, 27 years after their disappearance and 12 years after the publication of the logbook, that information has been confirmed \u2026 //\n\u2026 The National Security Archive is now preparing a report to be submitted to the Inter-American Court next year. In it, we will argue that the Guatemalan state is obligated by Article 13 of the Inter-American Convention on Human Rights to respect the \u201cright to truth\u201d of the families and surviving victims of the crimes documented in the death squad diary and must provide unrestricted access to military archives pertaining to those crimes. Although the Historical Archives of the National Police \u2013 discovered accidently by human rights investigators in 2005 and since preserved, digitalized and opened to the public \u2013 include many hundreds of records related to the disappearances in the logbook, the Guatemalan army has yet to turn over a single document connected to those crimes.

        "raw_content": "In just six days, Avril Lavigne will release the long-awaited lead single from her upcoming sixth album. Last week, she confirmed that \u201cHead Above Water\u201d will be available for all to hear on September 19th. Although Avril has already shot the music video and yesterday taped a live performance for Jimmy Kimmel, until now we\u2019ve only heard lucky attendees\u2019 reports that the song is amazing. Fortunately, today Avril shared a 30-second clip of \u201cHead Above Water,\u201d featuring visuals that will likely appear in a lyric video.\nThe song starts with a driving piano melody, a brief introduction before Avril chimes in. She sings:\nAvril\u2019s voice is stronger and clearer than ever, a stunning showcase of her true vocal talent. The first and third lines are powerful and determined. In contrast, Avril sings the second and fourth lines softly, fragility belying the fear in her plea. The lyrics, too, already sound more poetic than her previous work. While it\u2019s only a 30-second clip, it promises an incredible full song and leaves us longing to hear the next stanza.\nHear the 30-second clip of \u201cHead Above Water\u201d below:\nIn her song announcement last week, Avril revealed that \u201cHead Above Water\u201d was the first song she wrote for the album. She was bedridden due to her Lyme Disease, and she was in her mother\u2019s arms when the lyrics first came to her. She eventually finished the song with Travis Clark (of We The Kings) and Stephan Moccio. In a 7-day video shoot, Avril filmed the music video last month.\nFollowing \u201cHead Above Water\u201d on September 19th, Avril\u2019s new album also expected later this year. It\u2019s exciting to finally be this close to hearing Avril\u2019s new music. With the passion and involvement she put into this record, we\u2019re sure it will be her best yet. While we count down the days to hearing \u201cHead Above Water,\u201d catch up on all that went into making this new album. Keep checking back here for all the latest Avril Lavigne music news. There will be plenty coming up in the next few months!\n\u2190 Lana Del Rey Drops New Single, \u201cMariners Apartment Complex\u201d\nLana Del Rey Shares Sprawling New Single, \u201cVenice Bitch\u201d \u2192",

        "title": "Hire a Hero, Hire a Vet\u00ae: Guest Post: Employee Engagement Begins Before Day One",
        "raw_content": "Guest Post: Employee Engagement Begins Before Day One\nToday on the blog, we present you with a post by Jimmy Taylor, SPHR and Co-Founder of Orion's sister company Novotus, on the importance of employee engagement, beginning with onboarding. This post was originally published on the Novotus blog.\nA couple of months into a new year and we are already faced with new victories, new challenges, new resignations and new employees hired. According to CareerBuilder 1 out of 5 employees will make a job move in 2016. Workplacetrends.com projects it even higher, expecting 33% of your workforce to move on.\nThe cost of turnover is a significant hit to your bottom line. When a line employee leaves a company, the total cost of turnover is 25% to 50% of their annual compensation. It is even more for skilled employees and managers. When employees leave in the first 18 months of employment it is almost always due to a failure to attach to the new organization. Much of the burden for that attachment centers around their connection to their immediate manager. For the most part that old adage is still true, employees join companies and they leave managers.\nThe onboarding process is a key area where you may find some gaps and find room to improve the connection new employees feel when they join. Anthony Sork, Managing Director, and his team at SHCbond have heavily researched employee attachment to new organizations, and they have found the first 120 days are the critical period in determining if your new hire becomes a long term, productive employee.\n\u201cAttachment is influenced most significantly by what is called the \u2018primary career relationship\u2019, which is the oneup manager\u201d said Sork in a recent conversation with Novotus. \u201cIf you have high attachment, you have a low risk of attrition, and you end up with a high level of discretionary effort and performance from that individual going forward.\u201d Failing to engage new employees during this critical early period means they are more likely to be \u2019tempted out of your business\u2019,\u201d said Sork. \u201cWhen you actually have a look at the patterns of attrition and people exiting over the first 18 months of employment\u2026 overwhelmingly, it\u2019s the employee choosing to leave, not the employer choosing to exit the person who has joined.\u201d\nLet\u2019s look at the first 90 days of employment and some ideas that may help. In fact, let\u2019s walk through a few weeks through the eyes of \u201cNick Newhire\u201d. We will look at some of the things he experiences in his first few weeks on the new job that improve the odds he will be engaged and successful in his new role with Your Company, Inc.\nThe two weeks prior to starting were tough for Nick. He had solid reasons to change jobs and saw a lot of opportunities to grow and develop when he interviewed with you. He was excited to get the offer and couldn\u2019t wait to get going. But by the end of the first week of his notice period he was having second thoughts. After all, his previous manager, who he didn\u2019t even think noticed his work, suddenly was full of compliments. In fact, he told Nick the company had big plans for him, they just hadn\u2019t had the time to talk with him about it. But if Nick would reconsider and stay he was sure it would be great for Nick\u2019s career. This place certainly felt comfortable and suddenly Nick was having second thoughts about going into a new place. Maybe he should reconsider and stick around.\nFortunately for Nick he received a phone call from his new boss with Your Company Inc on Friday of that week. The call didn\u2019t last long, but it was just what Nick needed to hear. He told Nick they were excited to have him coming, and what to expect on his first day on the job. He also said the HR Department had sent him a few forms that he needed to fill out and bring in on his first day on the job. Nick felt much better and remembered the excitement he felt when he interviewed and was hired with Your Company, Inc. When his current manager asked him one more time to reconsider leaving Nick thanked him but told him he was committed to moving on.\nNick\u2019s first day couldn\u2019t have gone better. When he arrived at the office the receptionist knew his name and said she remembered his from the interview and was glad to have him join the company. Within minutes one of his new team members from his department was there to greet him as well. His new co-worker said he would be giving him a quick tour while his new boss finished up a staff meeting. The tour gave Nick a chance to see the work area where he would be spending his time, along with the restrooms and break area and a few other places in the new office. Along the way Nick met most of the team he would be working with. At the end of the tour Nick was impressed when they got to his new work station. His computer was set up and there was a welcome box waiting for him with some company goodies and his new business cards. There was even a printed agenda of what the first day schedule would include. Wow, Nick remembered in his last role it took three weeks before he could get any cards, and he didn\u2019t even have a computer to work off of for several days. Nick thought to himself, this company really seems on top of the details.\nBefore his co-worker left he told Nick that he would be his \u201cbuddy\u201d for the first month or so of Nick\u2019s employment just to help Nick get adjusted. He left Nick with a chance to get set up in his new workspace and told him his manager would be over in just a few minutes to get his first day kicked off.\nThe first two weeks went just as his new manager had laid out for him on that first morning. During the second week he had a great discussion with his manager. His manager wanted some feedback around how the job was going so far. He also talked to Nick about the expectations he had for Nick\u2019s performance and the level of engagement Your Company expected from its\u2019 employees. Nick had never considered the role he needed to play in his own engagement, but it made sense. He looked forward to meeting the company\u2019s expectations and liked the challenge.\nAt the end of the first 90 days of employment Nick took a survey designed to help measure how well Nick was attaching to the new job and company. Within a few days Nick\u2019s manager took some time to review the results with him and discuss how both sides could improve the engagement Nick had with his new job.\nBy the end of those first few weeks Nick was more engaged and committed to performing well than he had ever been in any role. Your Company was his home, and he looked forward to a long, successful career with the company.\nSuccessful onboarding that helps increase the attachment and engagement your new employee shows on the job isn\u2019t rocket science. It is also not accidental. It is the natural result of an intentional, well thought out process to help a new employee transition in, clearly communicate what is expected in the new role, and help set them up for success!\nClick here to learn more about Novotus and the Recruitment Process Outsourcing services they provide.\nLabels: employer resources, Onboarding and Retention",

Thanks to all, especially SCBWI and Southern Breeze members, who read drafts, provided critiques, and encouraged me to keep writing. A special thanks to my editor, Erin Stein, for choosing a talented illustrator, and to my agent, Kevin O'Connor for, well, everything. I hope this is the first of many cover reveals. Pre-order at moniquefields.com. On sale everywhere books are sold on January 8.\nIn Biracial May 3, 2016 Honeysmoke\nI know I haven't blogged in ages, but I have a good reason to come back. I've been writing for children, and my agent sold Honeysmoke, my debut picture book about a little girl who discovers her color, to Imprint/Macmillan Children's. Geneva Benton will illustrate, and publication is scheduled for Fall 2018. I am beyond excited. First of all, the book draws its name from this blog, and it tells a story about identity that many parents and children don't see on library and bookstore shelves. Yes, there have been some books about multiracial children and there will likely be a lot more. How the publishing industry will be able to catch up is another issue altogether. The U.S. Census reports the multiracial population has increased nearly 50 percent since 2000, making it the fastest growing group in the country. Honeysmoke is for today's multiracial children, those who do not fit neatly inside the boxes society has created for them. It's also for all of the parents who came to the blog, year after to year, to read my posts about raising two biracial little girls. Simone and Nadia are tickled the story they've heard many times will become a book. It is my hope that my children and others will pass the book on to their children and their children's children. So, I am back, blogging occasionally about the process of bringing a picture book to life. There are so many people to thank, and I will celebrate all of them as I embark on the next leg of this journey. For now, I must thank my husband for not committing me as I rewrote the manuscript. To my girls, my muses, thanks for inspiring me. None of this would be possible without the love and support of writers, editors, and agents affiliated with SCBWI and Southern Breeze. Many pushed me when I didn't want to be pushed. I said I wouldn't give up, and I am glad I kept that promise. I am so grateful to my agent, Kevin O'Connor, who took a chance on me, and to Erin Stein, Imprint's publisher, who is committed to helping authors make their mark and create books that leave an impression. I can't wait to take all of you with me on this journey to publication. Let's do this!\nSkylar Has A Dream\nIn Biracial June 30, 2013 Honeysmoke\nIt's not every day that you hear a 3-year-old deliver his version of Martin Luther King's speech. If he can do this at 3, there's no telling what the future holds for this child. Enjoy.\nIn Biracial June 4, 2013 Honeysmoke\nI'm shocked -- simply shocked that children of prominent Republicans are marrying people of color. The nerve. In May, Lindsay Boehner, daughter of House Speaker John Boehner, married Dominic Lakhan. The groom was born in Jamaica and sported dreadlocks at the ceremony. A few days ago, Jack McCain, son of Sen. John McCain, married Renee Swift. I have a few words for these couples. Welcome to the family.\nIn Biracial May 31, 2013 1 Comment Honeysmoke\nSo cute on so many levels. I haven't seen it on television but look forward to it.\nSo Long School Year \u2026\nWhen we sent Simone and Nadia to school last August, we were so proud we had a second-grader and a kindergartener. Our girls were excited to meet new teachers and friends. Simone walked through the doors with confidence, and Nadia barged in right behind her. All was well with the world. Then the torrent that is public school took over our lives. There were the requests for money. Lots of money. Money for yearbooks and T-shirts and field trips. There were the holidays and holiday parties. Perhaps fall should be renamed HallowThankChrist. There were the illnesses. Common colds, two mild cases of the flu, and two tick bites. There were the challenges. Spelling tests, vocabulary words, book reports, and timed math tests. There were the boys. The bullies who hurled insults and those who bumped and pushed anything in their way. There was the weather. There were late starts and early dismissals. There was even snow. And what would public school be without fundraisers? We clipped Box Tops and ate dinner at family friendly restaurants so that a percentage of our bill would be donated to the school. We even took new cars for a spin in exchange for contributions. Whew! When I look back on the school year, I see where all of the time went. We were busy. It will be nice to have evenings free of homework and class projects. Maybe will go to the beach, once or twice. We better enjoy this newfound time because, well, a new school year is just around the corner.\nParents are apparently raising a nation of wimps.\nThe mental state of students is now so precarious for so many that, says Steven Hyman, provost of Harvard University and former director of the National Institute of Mental Health, \"it is interfering with the core mission of the university.\"\nI'm trying my best not to raise two weenies. Really, I am. Simone and Nadia have discovered their bikes. Each day they want to strap on their ladybug helmets and pink knee pads, and ride, ride, ride. Except they don't ride very well. I've watched from afar as they both have fallen over like trees for no apparent reason. It's like someone yelled \"Timber!\" They just start slowly leaning until they are on the ground. Both are sporting scabs on their knees and elbows. Simone got hers while riding her bike without training wheels, while Nadia got hers while riding her bike with training wheels. I didn't think the latter was possible. Who falls off a bike with three wheels? My kid does. Her problem is speed. She thinks she's in a race or something. I've told her to slow down. When she doesn't, the wheels leave the sidewalk. She'll learn. Simone and Nadia also get in each other's way. Simone tries to pass her sister on a curve, and Nadia tries to keep up with her sister. Next thing I know both of them are on the sidewalk, wailing. I don't remember childhood being this tough. There certainly were fewer parents hanging around. I'm not there yet. I'm worried about all of the cars. When my two can show me that they can navigate each other, maybe just maybe they can go out on their own.\nIn Biracial May 1, 2013 5 Comments Honeysmoke\nIt's been quiet in these parts because I've been working on my picture books. Yes, there are two, and I've been trying to get one of them polished and shiny enough to send to an agent, who requested some revisions. There aren't many second chances when it comes to literary agents. That means I better impress her or go home. Writing for children is not as easy. It has taken me two years to get to this point. I think I'm close. Very close. I've been reading everything I can get my hands on, and I'm always thinking about my books, their characters, and how to turn a phrase. I've also been thinking about some testers. Published authors often urge aspiring writers to listen to children for dialogue and to read to them for their reactions. I just so happen to have a kindergartner, and her teacher allowed me to read my work to her students. The first book tells the story of a little girl who discovers her color. The 5-year-olds didn't like that one much. They told me they saw the pictures and asked a few questions, but they didn't seem all that enthusiastic about it. Maybe it was too quiet. Children love to interact with books these days. Many of those popular today are far from quiet. The second book is about a 5-year-old who uses every tactic in the book to delay going to school. It weighs in at about 100 words and uses the same phrase several times. The children giggled in the right places and told me the manuscript is funny. For that book, I got the highest compliment. \"Read it again!\" And I read it one more time. What's interesting to me is that the book I've got my heart set on, the one I've been working on for two years fell flat. The book I wrote in a half hour got all the praise. Maybe the lesson here is that I'm trying too hard or simply need to inject some fun into the other book. I'll soon find out and hope to share good news soon.\nFamily Tattoo\nIn Biracial April 24, 2013 2 Comments Honeysmoke\n\"If you guys ever decided you\u2019re going to get a tattoo, then Mommy and me will get the exact same tattoo in the same place. And we\u2019ll go on YouTube and show it off as a family tattoo.\u201d President Obama, addressing what he will do if his daughters get a tattoo, on NBC's Today Show.\nI got a chuckle out of this. Tattoos are prevalent these days. I'm not even sure if they are truly viewed as a sign of rebellion. More than 36 percent of Americans age 18 to 25 have them, according to the Pew Research Center. I like what Obama said, but he better mean it. Only Sasha and Malia know for sure. I've learned children have a way of knowing when their parents are bluffing, and some don't mind calling their bluff. I'm not a fan of tattoos. I used to get them in Cracker Jack boxes. I'd run to the bathroom for water, stick on the tattoo and get a blurry blot or two. My interest in tattoos ended as soon as I stopped eating the snack. Today, tattoos are more sophisticated. The ones that find their way to Simone and Nadia's hands are intricate butterflies and dragonflies and other colorful creatures. Sometimes they last for days. I expect my girls to lose interest as soon as they outgrow their love of all things pink and purple. My Mom told me I had a beautiful body and it didn't need any permanent adornment. It worked for me. When it's needed, I'll try Mom's line first. If that doesn't work, it's Obama all the way.\nIt's been a rough week. There has simply been too much bad news -- Boston, ricin, fertilizer explosion -- and not enough good. I really need a sweet puppy video or something else to make me smile or laugh. All is well in our home, but there is danger and fear and hate just outside our front door. In Boston, bombs took the lives of three people, including an 8-year-old boy. Then, in the wake of tragedy, some felt the need to display their racism in social media. One of my favorite quotes comes from Maya Angelou: \"When people show you who they are, believe them the first time.\" It's a quote I try to live by because it is our actions that really show how we were raised, what we're made of, and what we value. We can say anything, but it is so much harder to do something.\nCopyright Monique Fields and Honeysmoke, 2009-2017.

        "raw_content": "The new nation of Kurdistan may be joining a new Middle East\n(Iraq Now News)- Increasing moves by Russia and Iran are attempting to change the political face of the region.\nIran along with its proxy forces such as the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) and Hezbollah are extending the political and military reach of Tehran that may allow its influence to reach the Mediterranean.\nRussia has inserted itself into the Syrian civil war and has been making overtures to Turkey, whose relationship with the west has soured in recent years due to the actions of President Erdogan and his AK party. This past June, Russia and Turkey announced that the Turkish military would purchase the S 400 anti-aircraft missile system from Russia in lieu of purchasing a NATO system.\nThe S 400 is the most advanced system in the Russian arsenal and could effectively deny the US-led coalition the ability to provide a no-fly zone over northern Syria or provide anti-Assad forces, including the Syrian Kurds, air cover. Iran has continued to increase its power over the Iraqi government in Baghdad and is in full control of the PMF, which are technically under control of the Iraqi government but are in fact trained, armed, and loyal to Tehran.\nThis is in addition to its support to Lebanese Hezbollah and continued support to the Assad regime.\nIran has become the most powerful and influential force in the region. While Russian intent is to reestablish the \u201cGreat Game\u201d and reinsert itself as a regional power, Iran is suspected to be working with North Korea to continue its nuclear and missile research in technical violation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, more commonly known as the Iran deal.\nThe Iran deal was intended to keep Iran from continuing nuclear weapons research for at least 15 years, with an assumed breakout time of 1 to 2 years after that.\nCooperating with North Korea, it is highly likely that Iran could have nuclear weapons in a very short time and has indicated it may pull out of the deal. The North Korean program is directed at protecting North Korea from perceived US desires to overthrow the Kim regime and forcibly reunify the Korean peninsula.\nAnother reason for North Korea to have nukes is to force a reunification on its terms and to blackmail the regional neighbors into accepting a unified Korea.The Iranian program would have only one target, Israel, the only nuclear power in the region.\nIt is unlikely that either country would hold back on the use of its nuclear arsenal.\nShould Iran decide not to launch at Israel it could still hold the region hostage with the threat of nuclear war. Where does this leave Kurdistan? The answer is dependent on the actions of the US and the future of Kurdish independence.\nThe future of Kurdish independence is less uncertain than the actions of the US.\nAssuming successful independence, the US must become the protector of not only Kurdistan but the region.\nA nuclear Iran will be a threat to not only peace in the region but the sovereignty of regional governments.\nThe US will be forced to increase its presence in the region as well as ensuring that it is understood it will meet any use of weapons of mass destruction with a response in-kind.\nThe easiest way to do this is to reduce the Iranian threat before it becomes overpowering. A belief in US military power has been a problem recently, as the US has been perceived to be a paper tiger, a nation that will not use the full weight of its military.\nThere is no quick and easy fix to this perception, but a strong response to North Korean activities would be a start as would be an unmistakable military presence in Kurdistan.\nTime is running short for Kurdistan to benefit from either US action or Iranian inaction.\nThe face of the region is changing and the KRG must choose a protector.\nThe only two countries that could fill the need are the US or Russia.\nHistorically Russian assistance has cost nations sovereignty and independence of actions.\nTurkey could also fill in, but at what price.Paul Davis is a retired US Army military intelligence and former Soviet analyst.\nHe is a consultant to the American intelligence community specializing in the Middle East with a concentration on Kurdish affairs.\nCurrently he is the president of the consulting firm JANUS Think in Washington D.C.The views expressed in this article are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rudaw.\nNote: The post (The new nation of Kurdistan may be joining a new Middle East) appeared first on (Rudaw) and do not necessarily reflect the position of IraqNow.news.",

        "raw_content": "What made you pursue a career as an in-house solicitor?\nAt school my career adviser suggested a career in teaching or law. I was not convinced I had the patience for teaching, and was encouraged to pursue law as a career. I really enjoyed my degree, Diploma, traineeship and first few years in private practice in Glasgow, then an opportunity came up to work in-house with Standard Life in Edinburgh. Colin Anderson hired me and the rest is history!\nWhy did you decide to stand for the In-house Lawyers' Committee (ILC) convener?\nI wanted to continue the excellent support of the in-house profession by Lynda Towers and her predecessors, and having been on the In-house Lawyers\u2019 Group and ILC since 2012, I thought it was about time to get behind the wheel!\nI was delighted to be elected by my peers as convener in July this year and would like to thank everyone who voted for me. Whilst keen to concentrate on my new role, I felt sad stepping down from my other Society commitments on the IP & Technology Subcommittees and IP specialist accreditation panel, but had really enjoyed collaborating with and being supported by so many great lawyers and colleagues from the profession and the Society.\nIn-house lawyers make up almost a third of our profession currently and, in these very interesting times, the in-house sector needs to be fully represented on Council and by the Society. The ILC will continue to champion the in-house community, support the Society\u2019s pursuit of legal excellence, and make a real difference for in-house members in both private and public sectors.\nI couldn\u2019t do this without the great support and enthusiasm of Beth Anderson, another in-house lawyer, who is the Society\u2019s head of member engagement for in-house lawyers.\nHave your perceptions of the Law Society changed since you joined the ILC?\nThe Society has continued to evolve and develop over the many years I have been involved. The move to Atria One has marked a new era and I notice a renewed enthusiasm in the Society\u2019s staff and office-bearers.\nThe really popular in-house conferences and dinners we have organised in recent years and the always well-read Journal in-house interviews. The annual 21st Century Bar Conference is an amazing and collaborative event with the Faculty of Advocates, and the 16th annual conference has been pencilled in for early December. A particular highlight for me was when our President and the Dean of Faculty both spoke so enthusiastically about the future of this conference at the 15th anniversary reception in December 2015.\nWhat are the main issues that you think Council and the ILC committee have to address at the moment?\nIn the current climate of economic restraint and change, I think it is really important for the future of the in-house profession that we encourage larger organisations to consider taking on in-house trainees and secondees. It is a win-win situation for all involved, and this will help to ensure the future of our in-house profession. The percentage of the profession working in-house is projected to rise over the next few years, so relying on private practice to train up new in-house lawyers is likely to become unsustainable. And as more lawyers in private practice move to in-house roles, we must add value in supporting them in their new in-house careers.\nWhat has been the most surprising/interesting aspect of your work as a Council and committee member?\nThe sheer breadth and amount of hard work done voluntarily by members of our committees and Council, and how much passion, commitment and support there is, all on top of our day jobs. I have always enjoyed great support from the Society, my ILC colleagues and our members and I am really looking forward to my first Council meeting.\nThe strategy to be world class is challenging but exciting. I think it will need to involve a lot of innovation as well as getting a more detailed sense of what other professional organisations around the world are doing well and benchmarking against them. I am really looking forward to representing the ILC in Paris at the October In-house Counsel World Summit and will report back on what I get out of this.\nWhat are your top tips for new lawyers?\nYou have to stand out from the crowd and always think about your audience. Never miss a networking opportunity: you never know who you will meet, or who they may know and how they could help your career.\nIf you could change only one thing for our members, what would it be?\nI would like every solicitor, whether in-house or in private practice, to be as valued and appreciated by their internal customers or external clients as much as they should be. And the sooner we can all move away from time recording, the better!\nI\u2019m a keen supporter of World IP Day. Roisin Higgins QC and I co-chair the annual Faculty World IP Day conference in Edinburgh, and next year\u2019s 10th anniversary conference is already being planned. I am also on the board of the Friends of the Royal Scottish Academy of Art & Architecture, and led a group of 27 of our Friends on a trip to Vienna in May. We saw some amazing art and architecture and really enjoyed the local food and wine!",

        "raw_content": "JFC Writers Pick: The Top 5 Albums of 2017\nJonathan Falconer's Picks\nThe shoegaze veterans return with their first record in 22 years, and immediately show everyone that it takes more than a few pedals and a breathy vocal. The album certainly has those things, but it\u2019s the somewhat stripped-back music and strong songcraft that make this a standout album. The laid-back, confident warmth of the instrumentations, the strength of the song-writing, and the naturalistic flow of the track-listing make this comeback a swooning, dreamy success.\n4. Arca \u2013 Arca\nPerhaps inspired by recent collaborations with Icelandic experimentalist Bjork, the Venezuelan producer Arca has released this collection of beautiful songs in which his vocals are at the forefront for the first time. This self-titled release functions as a possible new direction for the singer-songwriter album as we think of it, pairing his powerful, tuneful vocals with Arca\u2019s distinctive plunging, chittering beats.\nCompton hip-hop superstar Lamar follows up the genre and era-defining masterpiece that is To Pimp a Butterfly, a sprawling, angry, jazz-infused odyssey, with a tight, self-examining collection of tracks that recreates the scale of the previous album from a more personal, poppy context. On DAMN., Lamar examines ideas of loyalty, religion, politics, and their relation to the self in a series of hook-filled, razor sharp tracks.\n2. The Magnetic Fields \u2013 50 Song Memoir\nMagnetic Fields leader Stephin Merritt finally allows a peek behind the curtain with his new concept album, in which 50 songs are each inspired by one year of his life. However, Merritt is no less tantalisingly inscrutable due to the sheer humour and pop genius brevity with which each track is imbued. It remains fresh throughout its 5-CD length, boasting some of the most memorable, funny, poignant pop songs of the year.\n1. Richard Dawson \u2013 Peasant\nOgres, beggars, scientists, and prostitutes cavort and lament amid scratched strings, battered detuned guitars, and rousing pagan choruses in Dawson\u2019s freaked-out avant-folk opus. Described as a concept-album about the chaos of post-Roman Britain, Dawson reclaims folk for the folk themselves, crafting a sonic and lyrical landscape wherein despair and hope cut capers around Wicker Man meets Velvet Underground noise.\n5. Mac DeMarco - This Old Dog\nThis has been my the-world-is-too-stressful-and-I-need-to-chill-out record of the year. The guitar riffs warm the heart, the vocals are soft, unobtrusive and lyrically strong, and the melodies are playful throughout. There are some serious topics addressed in the album, but it\u2019s still difficult to listen to it without breaking into a smile.\n4. Four Tet - New Energy\nI\u2019ve been a huge fan of Four Tet\u2019s music for the past few years but his releases often make for pretty intense listening. You just need to look at his last album, Morning/Evening, which came out in 2015 and only had two tracks - each roughly 20 minutes long. New Energy on the other hand sees the artist revisit the sounds that made me love his music - the jazz influences, the warm synths - but put them in a format that\u2019s much more accessible and easier to digest.\nIt was never going to be easy to follow To Pimp A Butterfly but this was a record I was into from the get-go. The narrative structure is something I absolutely loved. The spoken word section that introduces the album was something I found particularly engaging and the way Kendrick flows from that intro into the music is explosive. I distinctly remember dancing down a street in Amsterdam on first listen to this. DAMN. is an album which tackles big social questions in the best way possible.\n2. Bonobo - Migration\nBonobo is a man who can do little wrong in my eyes and his latest album only reminded me why. Migration runs wonderfully from start to finish. It\u2019s got that Bonobo trait of making for easy listening and being able to fit pretty much any mood perfectly while also translating into a booming live experience. The collabs are well thought out (\u2018No Reason\u2019 with Nick Murphy in particular!) and the vocals are not overdone either.\n1. Loyle Carner - Yesterday\u2019s Gone\nI\u2019ve listened to this record on repeat more times than I can remember. Truth be told, I\u2019ve probably heard each individual song from Loyle Carner\u2019s debut album more times this year than any track on any other record. The poet/rapper\u2019s lyrics are refreshingly intimate and personal, and I find his tempo and varying rhyming schemes so original and catchy. This is a clever yet accessible album, and for me the best debut album from any artist for quite some time. Also, Loyle Carner runs cooking classes for kids with ADHD. He\u2019s impossible to dislike.\nHonourable mentions: London Grammar, The XX, Alt-J, Stormzy, Laura Marling, Nick Murphy, Angus & Julia Stone, Foo Fighters.",

        "raw_content": "Do you keep track of the time you spend working on projects?\nIf not, you\u2019re missing a critical step in your success as you build your online businesses.\nTime is money, as the saying goes.\nIf you don\u2019t know where you\u2019re devoting your time it\u2019s easy to waste it on activities that don\u2019t benefit you in the long run.\nYou should track the time you spend working on your projects, and MyHours.com is a quick, easy, and free way to do this.\nTime Just Flies\nIt\u2019s easy to lose track of how much time you\u2019ve invested in a project.\nOur memories are faulty, and it\u2019s easy to think you\u2019ve spent ten hours building an online business and then go back and realize you\u2019ve actually spent thirty or forty hours.\nI\u2019m not kidding \u2013 here\u2019s a screenshot of the time I spent getting my new dropshipping store up and running:\nI couldn\u2019t believe I spent almost 40 hours learning the basics of dropshipping and getting my store up and running.\nIf I hadn\u2019t kept track of the time there\u2019s no way I would have known I put in almost a full working week\u2019s hours to learn the basics of dropshipping with Shopify and to get the store up and running.\nTracking Your Time Will Make You Work Efficiently\nThere\u2019s nothing like the feeling of being under a deadline to get your work done faster.\nI\u2019ve got the clock running on My Hours right now as I type this article, and my goal is to have about 800 \u2013 1000 words written in 45 to 60 minutes.\nThen another 10 to 15 minutes to proofread, adjust the images, and set up the categories and tags before I publish.\nThe temptation to take a quick break and check Twitter or other sites is held in check by that clock that\u2019s constantly running.\nIf you struggle to finish tasks you\u2019ll find this to be very helpful to help keep you on track.\nYou\u2019ll Get Better at Estimating Time Commitments\nAs an example, once you know that it takes about ten hours to set up a brand new website from scratch you\u2019ll be better equipped to plan your projects in advance.\nIf you\u2019re planning to launch a new site and you\u2019ve got a day or two of free time coming up you\u2019ll be confident that you can get your site up and running.\nCarrying on with this example, if you get into freelancing or contract work setting up websites for others you\u2019ll be able to provide accurate pricing quotes with confidence.\nYou\u2019ll also bill effectively for your time.\nCharging $500 to set up a brand new site for a client that you know will take about ten hours? Nice way to earn yourself a rate of $50 an hour.\nIt Will Help You Decide Whether or Not to Invest Your Time\nOnce you\u2019ve tracked the time you spend on various projects you\u2019ll have a better understanding of whether certain projects are worth your time or not.\nFor example, if you put in a total of 100 hours to set up an affiliate marketing niche website that earns you a total of $50 over the course of a year, you\u2019ll know that you earned 50 cents an hour.\nThat will help you decide that the niche clearly isn\u2019t profitable, and you\u2019ll never again be tempted to waste your time in that specific market.\nOn the other hand, if you can write an article for Upwork or Fiverr or any of the other freelancing websites in thirty minutes and get paid $20, you know you\u2019re capable of earning $40 an hour.\nThis will give you increased confidence in where to focus your efforts.\nEasier Way to Invoice Your Time\nIf you work as a contractor or freelancer you may have to bill for your time spent on projects.\nMy Hours is an easy way to keep track of multiple project and multiple tasks within those projects.\nOnce you wrap up your project you\u2019ll be able to generate a chart or graph showing how much time you spent on the project overall and how much to bill, accordingly.\nIt\u2019s available from any web browser so you don\u2019t need to worry about installing software and then being unable to access it when you\u2019re away from your primary laptop or PC.\nThe web browser on your phone is good enough to keep track of your time.\nConvenient Way to Track Multiple Projects and Tasks\nOne of the best features of My Hours is that you can set up multiple projects and multiple tasks to track.\nIt\u2019s easy to copy the same tasks from project to project so you don\u2019t have to worry about starting all over from scratch when you\u2019re setting up a new project.\nIf you\u2019ve got multiple websites to run or you switch from project to project within the same day, My Hours makes it easy to track everything.\nMy Hours Is Completely Free\nThere\u2019s no cost at all for registering a My Hours account.\nThey collect your name and email address to create an account, but you don\u2019t have to enter any payment information at all.\nThere\u2019s an upgrade to a Pro option, but I have no idea what\u2019s included in that because everything I need is included in the free version.\nI\u2019ve been using My Hours for almost three years now to track the time I spend on my various web projects and I\u2019ve never spent a single penny on it.\nThere are ads that run on the top of the My Hours site. This is completely understandable and fine by me as they deserve to have some way to earn revenue from the free service they offer, in my humble opinion.\nThose ads don\u2019t get in the way of any of the site\u2019s functions and I\u2019ve never been bothered by them.\nNo Email Marketing (I Think)\nI can\u2019t remember ever getting any email offers from My Hours even though I had to provide them with my email address to register an account.\nIt\u2019s been so long now that I may have gotten offers from them and simply unsubscribed. Let me check\u2026\nOk, I just toggled over and looked for notifications or email preference settings and there\u2019s nothing listed.\nSo I guess they don\u2019t bother you with email marketing, which is incredible given how valuable this product is.\nTracking your time is important if you work on projects for other people or for yourself.\nIt\u2019s important to track your time so that you can work more efficiently and to know how much to bill for your time.\nIt\u2019s also a great way to know whether a potential business opportunity is worth your time or not.\nMy Hours is the best solution I\u2019ve found to track your time.\nIt\u2019s free and simple to use. Register for a free account by clicking here at www.myhours.com.\nThere\u2019s really no reason not to use it.\nIf you were writing this article you would see it\u2019s over 1100 words now and it took you a little over 35 minutes to write this first draft. All that\u2019s left is to edit, insert images, and add the categories and tags.\nBut you would have never known this if you weren\u2019t using My Hours.\nIf you found this information useful, subscribe to the newsletter.",

        "title": "Moving with Children? We can help",
        "raw_content": "It\u2019s time to move. You know why the move is necessary \u2013 you lost your job, the divorce is final, your spouse got a new job, or you are upgrading or downgrading. Now it\u2019s time to let the kids know. This moving thing just got a lot harder. The stress of moving will affect your children, but how much will greatly depend on you. Your attitude about moving and your willingness to let your children be a part of the experience will greatly affect their transition and adjustment periods.\nBelow are a few suggestions to keep in mind when moving with children. You know you child better than anyone, so take these suggestions and make them your own. Adapt them to what works best for your child.\nLet the Family Know Before Move Week\nKids are smart. They can tell when something is going on. The sooner you can be straight with them, the sooner they can be on board to help and the more time they can have to process what is happening. If you are moving for an exciting reason, a new home or new job, let them see your excitement. If your reasons aren\u2019t so positive, try to keep a positive outlook and highlight as many good things about the move as you can. Either way, allow them to express how they feel about this new information. If they are old enough to understand what moving means, then they are old enough to help you in some way. Let them know what you expect from them up front, so there aren\u2019t more surprises for them later.\nIf Possible, Let the Kids\u2019 Help\nIf you can, let the kids\u2019 help pick out the new home. Get their feedback once you have narrowed your potential homes down to a few. Whether you are able to take them to see the homes in person, or show them pictures on the internet, let them feel involved in the decision making as best you can.\nMoving is a great time to get rid of things you don\u2019t use anymore. Explain to your children why this is important and how they can help. Make cleaning up and starting over sound like a relief. But also make sure they understand that they are allowed to keep items that mean a lot to them. If you are able to have a moving sale, let them be involved in that too. There\u2019s plenty of way kids can help \u2013 a donut or lemonade stand, or contributing their toys to help raise money for something fun the family can do in their new home later.\nBottom line: Involve the children where you can.\nHave Them Plan Their Room\nIf they are old enough to be creative, let them pick their wall colors. Try to get them thinking about their new room layout. With teens, some parents have been able to give them a \u2018new room budget\u2019 and let them pick out new furniture, paint, and decorations. If your child is interested in helping you decorate other rooms in the house, let them. This is their new home base and they should feel comfortable.\nResearch the New Place\nIf you are moving to a new state, or even a new town, this can be a very proactive step in curbing your child\u2019s adjustment period. All kids know how to search the internet, so let them. Ask them to find 3-5 places that they want to visit once you get settled. This helps build their excitement and gives them something to look forward to.\nA big note to parents: This suggestion only works if you follow through with taking them later on. You may even want to sit down with them and schedule a time to go after most of the boxes are unpacked. If your child has made any new friends by the time it is time to go, let them come along to these places too.\nIf your child will be starting a new school, do everything you can to set them up for success \u2013 drive by the school, meet the teachers, help your child find the extracurricular activities that they are interested in.\nKeep in Touch with Old Friends\nSaying goodbye is hard, but technology has changed the way we can keep in touch with old friends. Give your child ideas on how they can stay in touch with their besties. There\u2019s always social media, but don\u2019t forget about other ways. Video chatting is even better than a phone call because you can see their faces and the familiar rooms in the background. This gives the kids an opportunity to show their friends around their new home with just a phone or laptop. Even video games can often still be played together. If you aren\u2019t moving to the other side of the country and can schedule play dates, do it. Having a fixed date of when they will see each other again definitely makes the goodbye easier. This way saying goodbye really can mean see you soon.\nYou know your child better than anyone. You will see how they react to the news of a move. Adjust your strategy where you can and remember you are in this together as a family. You will be stressed with the move, but you can find ways to try to get your kids involved in a way that benefits them but also helps you from pulling out all of your hair.",

        "title": "F.B.I. Opened Inquiry Into Whether Trump Was Secretly Working on Behalf of Russia - JustPut.com Forums",
        "raw_content": "Agents and senior F.B.I. officials had grown suspicious of Mr. Trump\u2019s ties to Russia during the 2016 campaign but held off on opening an investigation into him, the people said, in part because they were uncertain how to proceed with an inquiry of such sensitivity and magnitude. But the president\u2019s activities before and after Mr. Comey\u2019s firing in May 2017, particularly two instances in which Mr. Trump tied the Comey dismissal to the Russia investigation, helped prompt the counterintelligence aspect of the inquiry, the people said.\nThe special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, took over the inquiry into Mr. Trump when he was appointed, days after F.B.I. officials opened it. That inquiry is part of Mr. Mueller\u2019s broader examination of how Russian operatives interfered in the 2016 election and whether any Trump associates conspired with them. It is unclear whether Mr. Mueller is still pursuing the counterintelligence matter, and some former law enforcement officials outside the investigation have questioned whether agents overstepped in opening it.\nThe criminal and counterintelligence elements were coupled together into one investigation, former law enforcement officials said in interviews in recent weeks, because if Mr. Trump had ousted the head of the F.B.I. to impede or even end the Russia investigation, that was both a possible crime and a national security concern. The F.B.I.\u2019s counterintelligence division handles national security matters.\nIf the president had fired Mr. Comey to stop the Russia investigation, the action would have been a national security issue because it naturally would have hurt the bureau\u2019s effort to learn how Moscow interfered in the 2016 election and whether any Americans were involved, according to James A. Baker, who served as F.B.I. general counsel until late 2017. He privately testified in October before House investigators who were examining the F.B.I.\u2019s handling of the full Russia inquiry.\nRussian spy in the White House... but he\u2019\u2019s good for the economy so whatevs.\nI'm fascinated to hear what the resolution of this investigation will reveal (or not)\nI don't believe Trump is a Russian spy.\nPete (would have to believe that Trump is really really smart to come to that conclusion, and just doesn't believe that)\nThis is now becoming on the level of the Birthers.\nNothing will ever reach Birther level insanity!\n...except this. Even they didn't get a federal investigation.\nI don't believe that he's a spy, but I think it's plausible that he's been manipulated into certain courses of action that are beneficial to Russia. As we have observed, he really loves autocrats, who he perceives as strong and decisive leaders, and he thinks of himself as one of them. It's not much of a stretch to go from there to having a Russian agent butter him up, lay the groundwork for a meeting with Putin, work out a couple of deals that are financially sweet for him and his family, and at the fancy dinner later on, Putin talks about all the stupid democrats who don't like Russia or any strong foreign leaders, and all they ( the dems) want to do is block a few very reasonable business deals... and suddenly Putin has a very sympathetic ear in the White House.\nLast edited by Jared; 01-15-2019, 09:06 AM.\nI could see him having been flipped.\nPutin is extremely shrewd. Trump is a moron who is easily manipulated. I have no doubt at all that Putin manipulates him. That's a far cry from an accusation of superspy.\nPutin helped Trump get elected. Of course Trump is going to bend over backwards to please him, hold secret meetings with him, destroy the translator's notes, etc. I'm sure Putin has some great kompromat on him too.\nYeah, and Obama isn't a citizen.",

        "title": "Deanston - Mini World's End - Lanka Excursions Holidays - Kandy",
        "raw_content": "Mini World's End\nat Knuckles Range\nDeanston is a Distillery in the village of the same name right in the middle of Scotland. However, there is another Deanston which is surrounded by rough highlands. This less-known Deanston is situated right in the centre of the tropical island of Sri Lanka, not far from Kandy. Nonetheless, Deanston in Knuckles Range is still a charming hiking destination off the beaten path. By the way, there is not only a Deanston in Sri Lanka, many hillcountry location bear British toponyms.\nSri Lanka\u2019s Deanston is the location of a Forest Department Conservation Centre, also known as Knuckles Information Centre. Only few foreign tourists have found their way to Deanston until now. Some travellers cross it on their way to Corbett\u2019s Gap and Meemure, which is Sri Lanka\u2019s best trekking area. However, Deanston is definitely worth a stop. It\u2019s the starting point for a hike to a place called Mini World\u2019s End, which is a magnificent vantage point in Knuckles Range in the northeast of Sri Lanka\u2019s highlands. But there is good news for travellers who don\u2019t dare to spend a lot of time for exhausting trekking in this area. At Deanston, you can reach all places of interest within half an hour and completely without any elaborate trekking equipment. Hikers will not get lost on their way from Deanston to this spectaculat viewpoint, as there\u2019s only one path (crossing one fence by a ladder). A signboard at the road close to the information centre says: Mini World\u2019s End is in only 1.1 km distance. However, the round trip will be a hike of 3 km altogether, managable even for those whose favourite holiday activity is not yet hiking. Try this walk. You will not regret it. The view at Mini World\u2019s End is breathtaking.\nThe name \u201cMini World\u2019s End\u201d might be misleading for some first-time Sri Lanka travellers, as \u201cLittle World\u2019s End\u201d is the name of a quite famous panoramic viewpoint at Horton Plains. But that \u201cLittle Worls\u2019s End\u201d is in the very south of the hillcountry, just as it\u2019s brother \u201cBig World\u2019s End\u201d. Both of them are within day-trip distance from Nuwara Eliya and require a hike of about 4 hours in Horton Plains National Park. Don\u2019t confuse those two ends of the world with \u201cMini World\u2019s End\u201d, they are 120 km away from Deanston, not 1.1 km. The World\u2019s End at Deanston \u2013 the \u201cMini\u201d, not the \u201cLittle\u201d - can be reached more easily from Kandy and it\u2019s in only half an hour walking distance from the car park. Even more condusing: The \u201cWorld\u2019s End\u201d at Deanston is not at all \u201cmini\u201d. It is simply great. What\u2019s more mini here, is this: The cliff is not as high as at Horton Plains. However, the view is much wider, it\u2019s a 270 degree panorama at Mini World\u2019s End. In this respect, Denaston\u2019s \u201cMini World\u2019s End\u201d is even bigger than Horton Plain\u2019s \u201cBig World\u2019s End\u201d.\nThe road distance from Kandy is about 60 km, this means, it\u2019s 160 km from Colombo. Starting in Kandy, you have to take the A 26 \u201chighway\u201dto Mahiyangana via Tedeniya. At the highest point of the mountain road, in the village of Hunnasgiriya, you have to turn left, taking the side road to Corbett\u2019s Gap and Meemure. Only the first 10 kilometres of this side road are in a good condition. You have good luck, as Deanston is in only 8 kilometres dsitance from Hunnasgiriya. All in all, it\u2019s very easy to visit it on the way from Kandy to Mahiyangana town or toMaduru Oya National Park or to the East Coast. Thie hours more will be enough for this highly recommendable detour. And what\u2019s best: Not many foreign tourists know this place, as most guidebooks don\u2019t mention this wonderful place. It\u2019s not as crowded as Big World\u2019s End. Probably, you will meet nobody else or some locals at Mini World\u2019s End.\nOur Lanke Excursions Holidays Team can arrange accommodation for you in this area, too, in the villagers of Meemure or - permission of the Forest Department provided - on a camp side close to Deanston. The camp is situated at the other side of the road. It\u2019s also a place with amazing views. A waterfall is close-by, at the trail to Dothalugala Peak.",

After the end of the civil war in 2009, Pasikudah was developed into a new destination for foreigners who prefer relaxing beach holidays in comfortable mid-class hotels of the 3-star or 4-star category. In contrast to the southwest coast, which is dry and sunny during the local peak season between Christmas and Easter but wet due to the monsoon climate during northern hemisphere summer months, the East Coast with its anti-monsoon climate is perfect for summer holidays. Pasikudah Beach is perfect for such a tourism development project, because it is the safe for swimming, suitable for families with children, as the bay is protected by a reef and the water is shallow. Actually, people can walk kilometers into the sea without losing ground below their feet. The sea is not deeper than 1 meter in Pasikudah Bay.",

        "raw_content": "This Seminary was established in Jerusalem in December 1852 by Patriarch Joseph Valerga, the founding patriarch, for the purpose of forming diocesan priests for the service of all the parishes of the Patriarchate. The Seminary was first established in Beit Jala on September 7, 1857, then, due to political conditions, the Seminary had to move to Jerusalem. Finally, the Seminary was able to settle back in Beit Jala on July 7, 1936.\nIn the beginning the Seminary was managed by the priests of the Patriarchate themselves. Then the German Fathers took over in October 1921, and then came the Fathers of the Sacred Heart (Beitarram) in October 1932. Then the diocesan clergy of the Patriarchate came back in July 1980, and they are still in charge today. From the year 1921 to 1929, the Sisters of St. Charles Borromeo served in the Seminary, and then came the Sisters of St. Dorothea\u2019s Sacred Hearts to provide the same service. In 2009-2013 the Sisters of the Mother of Mercy served the Seminary. Now the sisters of \u201cServe del Signore e Della Vergine di Matar\u00e0\u201d are serving at the Seminary.\nThe Seminary is made up into two parts: The Major Seminary and the Minor Seminary.\n\u2013 The Minor Seminary\nThe priestly vocation is like a seed that you need to care for and give attention to it so that it can grow which requires a suitable environment. The Seminary provides this suitable environment for the discovery and development of God\u2019s call to priesthood: through the life at the Seminary, a Seminarian can discover God\u2019s call for him, so the Seminary can help him reach the decision to consecrate his life with full conviction and will.\nThe Student starts his life in the Minor seminary from the age of 13 because formation at an early age helps the student increase his love for Christ and to really consecrate himself to Christ. In the Educational life of the Seminary he will form himself spiritually, culturally and socially. The seminary requests that the student matures, in all aspects, in order to be eligible to be enrolled in the Major Seminary.\nThe priests and a group of teachers follow the academic life and the development of the student from all angles to ensure proper growth of the student in the Seminary. The daily life of the Minor Seminary includes many programs that help the personal development of the student to make him a good Christian, and aware of what his vocation is. After the completion of his studies (and after the Tawjihi exams) he will move on to the Major Seminary to pursue higher studies.\n\u201cThe student does not become a priest just because he entered the Minor Seminary, but the Minor Seminary helps him discover his future with God. There are a lot of students who enter the Minor Seminary and then they leave; this is not a weakness in them, but it is a result of discovering that God is not calling them to priesthood. There are those who found the call and responded to it and they began walking on the path to consecrate themselves to Christ. \u201c\n\u2013 The Major Seminary\nThe curriculum includes a spiritual year of preparation to discover what exactly the priestly vocation is; and this discovery helps him to outline clear ways towards the priesthood. Then is followed by a full year studying French, which is the language of instruction at the Seminary. Then two years are consecrated to the study of philosophy and four years studying theology, with an additional pastoral year serving in a parish before being ordained a deacon. The School of Theology, at the Seminary, became a branch of the Pontifical Lateran University on May 3, 1967, and is recognized by the Palestinian Ministry of Education and Higher Education (accredited as a private University College since 2009). Qualified students obtain a bachelor\u2019s degree in philosophy and theology at the end of their studies.\nThe curriculum and teaching materials are built on the instructions of the Holy See and the Encyclical Letter \u201cI will give you shepherds,\u201d and the curriculum of the Pontifical Lateran University, in addition to the particular courses of the Seminary, which were renewed in 2011, and published at the beginning of each year in Arabic and French.\nThe goal of The Seminary is to form diocesan priests from the local community, but the doors are open to all other Catholic churches and to seminarians from any other country who want to serve the Lord and the Church of the Holy Land.\n\u064a\u0642\u0648\u0644 Nicola Salameh Nur :\nPlease see if you like this book: Hail Mary, Full of Grace, By Nicola Salameh Nur from Beit-Jala",

The youth jobs program\u2014which marks the City\u2019s largest jobs program to date\u2014will provide more than 30,000 youth ages 14-24 this summer with job and internship opportunities. The City is committed to growing One Summer Chicago year over year, due to the strong demand by thousands of youth each year to become engaged and employed. This year, the City received a record number of applications with more than 82,000 received this year. One Summer Chicago opportunities are available in many industry areas, ranging from urban agriculture and outdoor forestry projects to bike repair and office and clerical work.\nMayor Emanuel joined youth at a viaduct in the Auburn Gresham\u2013one of several to be revitalized in partnership with the Department of Family and Support Services (DFSS), the Department of Streets and Sanitation (DSS) and the Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT). Last year marked the first year of the infrastructure subset of One Summer Chicago, which provides youth the opportunity to work on large-scale infrastructure projects, allowing both youth and residents an opportunity to celebrate the completion of a project that will have an immediate benefit for a neighborhood. Approximately 1,600 youth will be working alongside city agencies to overhaul and improve viaducts across the city this summer, with another 600 youths working to revitalize boulevards and lots, allowing Chicago to both renew itself and to build a better future for youth and families.",

        "raw_content": "Here\u2019s what you\u2019ll learn from my books: I was born in Cleveland, Ohio. I\u2019m 60 years old. I have three brothers. My parents are still alive. (They live in a retirement community in Florida.) I live with my wife and our three teenage children in New York City. (The kids go to the Bronx High School of Science, a truly great public school.) On weekends, we take our two dogs and three cats along with us to our home in Dutchess County. It\u2019s a wonderful life \u2014 overflowing with craziness, crises and love \u2014 which is why I dedicate Pilgrim to the whole Kaplan/Kravitz clan, including our dogs and cats.\nI went to Yale (Class of 1975) and Columbia\u2019s Graduate School of Journalism (Class of 1983). Between those degrees I traveled overland from London to Calcutta by Land Rover and lived on a kibbutz in Israel. I also began writing articles and taking photographs for magazines. I interviewed pioneering photographers like Ansel Adams and Henri Cartier-Bresson, and reported about culture and politics in places like Nicaragua and Puerto Rico. I supported myself mainly by bar tending. The adventures I had in my 20s created much of the unfinished business I had to address when I was 54.\nThe big turning point in my career occurred in 1987, when I was 33. I got my first \u201creal\u201d job \u2014 as an editor at Scholastic, the publisher of classroom magazines like Scope and Junior Scholastic. I didn\u2019t expect to remain there more than a year. (I needed back surgery \u2014 and hence, health insurance.) But I got smitten by the mission of creating media that informed and inspired young people and ignited their passion to change the world.\nIn Pilgrim and Unfinished Business, you\u2019ll learn very little about the next 20 years of my life and career, beyond the fact that I was obsessed with work and spent far too little time with my family and friends. During that time I edited and led some of the nation\u2019s most widely read publications, including several at Scholastic, a Parade-published teen magazine called React, and then Parade itself, the most widely read publication in the English-speaking world. In those jobs, I worked with hundreds of writers, editors, artists and executives who were dedicated to the proposition that \u201ca story well-told\u201d could connect emotionally with millions of readers and change lives.\nAnd then the roof caved in. In October 2007, with the world of newspapers and magazines hovering on the brink of a recession and fundamental change, I was fired as Parade\u2018s Editor in Chief. In the months and then years that followed, I took stock of my life and turned inward, focusing on the hard spiritual work that produced Unfinished Business and Pilgrim.\nThese days I\u2019m writing and speaking about topics related to my books. (See Speaking). At the same time, I\u2019m reporting on the \u201cconscious aging\u201d movement. Our culture is obsessed with staying young and living forever; it denies the fact that we age and die. Conscious aging involves seeing the final phase of our lives as an opportunity for spiritual, emotional and psychology growth.

She is also the founder of The Stepping Up Program which coaches 16 to 24 year-olds and is a coach as well. She is 24 years old and unstoppable now that she has found her real passion in life. Quinn originally thought she wanted to be a photographer. In fact, it was her passion, she was great at it, loved it and she was certain it would become her career. She took a job taking still photographs on a TV show and in one week she knew it wasn\u2019t enough for her\u2013she realized she needed to help people. The only way she knew that was because she tried it.\nAfter her experience in photography, she then thought she was supposed to become a social worker and was convinced that was the career for her. She studied social work at University and started working with very poor families in Scotland. It depressed her\u2013not just the poverty, but the knowing that no matter what she did, it wasn\u2019t enough. She dropped her social work studies and in her third year of University she focused on anthropology and sociology instead\u2013not really knowing what she would do. It wasn\u2019t until her fourth year of University when her mother sent her Coach Yourself to Success and she took my seminars and Phone Classes that she started to think that coaching would be the career for her. As soon as she graduated she then enrolled in not one, but two of the best coach training programs and is now coaching young people to find their passion in life and working with African street children to create a movie. Her vision\u2013 to bring coaching into education and her big future goal is to become a talk show host on TV. I fully believe that she\u2019ll do it.\nQuinn never waits for the future and instead does what she wants to do now. If it doesn\u2019t work out, she tries something else. Sometimes it has been difficult. She was coaching 9-5pm in London and then looking after an elderly disabled man in the evenings in order to afford to live. Her life has been a process of experimentation and as a result, she has found her passion in life at a very young age and has already started three businesses that she loves.\nWhat was the shift for you?\nSomething you said in the Coach Yourself to Success Phone Class has stuck with me: \u2018You have to give yourself the life you want before you have it.\u2019 You suggested starting with something as simple as hiring a house cleaner before you are rich. Living the future that you want now.\nI love Mondays! I have no idea what opportunities and people will come in a week. I make my week happen. I decide what happens. And I love coaching! I\u2019m filled up with energy after a coaching call. I love my life and I love being me.\nI\u2019m a risk-taker. At 11 years old I realized that I wasn\u2019t \u2018cool\u2019 because I was trying to be like everyone else. I stopped trying to be like everyone else and I became \u2018cool\u2019 and suddenly everyone wanted to be my friend. Stop worrying so much what other people think or about what is going to happen. We are all afraid of something. Get over it. You only have one chance. Life is precious. You can be afraid. Take a step. Dip your toe in the outside of your comfort zone. Treat your scary, uncomfortable place like a pool and slowly work your way into it. Don\u2019t get out. Stay in it. I didn\u2019t start out being a good networker. I was a bit scared going in and didn\u2019t know what I was doing. You\u2019ll never know unless you try. Just stick a toe in.\nI genuinely believe that everyone has a purpose, a unique talent. Everyone has a dream even if it is buried. It\u2019s there. The only way to find it is to spend time looking for it. I spent hours thinking about who I am. I was always reflecting on experiences. So many of us look outside of ourselves for the answer. We need to look within ourselves. You already know it. Ask yourself, \u2018What is my dream?\u2019",

Alzheimer\u2019s is the most common form of dementia, a general term for memory loss and other intellectual abilities serious enough to interfere with daily life.\nDementia due to Alzheimer\u2019s and related conditions is a major emerging public health problem.

        "raw_content": "October, you were quite the whirlwind.\nMy goal for October was to breathe through areas of resistance, and I think it went pretty well. A lot happened last month - there were times when I could have been better, but all things considered I'm going to count this as success.\nOctober brought bangs, celebrating five years of marriage, and taking an incredible vacation with Ben where we didn't want to leave, even after I was mocked by a penguin. In October I did a lot of knitting - I even had a hangout with Kyla and Lisa where we chatted and knitted which was so much fun! October brought not one, but two root canals, preparing, and finding unexpected comforts during a hurricane, and being a little more at ease with planning. Throw in some admiring of leaves, reading great books, and it was quite a crazy 31 days!\nSo. November. How about a quieter month?\nMy goal for this month is to put my health first.\nI really want to challenge myself here - this isn't just about fitness (although cardio and yoga are big priorities for me), but also getting the right kinds of food, and listening to my body when it tells me to go to bed, even if that means not finishing a movie or a blog post. (Remember how I tried to go to bed at a good time for the month of February...and failed? I'm hoping not to repeat that!)\nSome days this will be easy and some days I'm going to fight myself, but I want to ease into the rest of this year feeling my best, and really enjoying the holidays - something I won't do if I'm sleep-deprived and not eating well.\nHave you ever made a conscious choice to put yourself first? Was it easier or harder than you expected? Do you have a goal for this month?\nLabels: magical 2012, writing\nThat sounds like a great goal to me! I'm glad you did well with breathing in your areas of resistance. I definitely think this is a work in progress for me!\nI think that is a great goal! Going to bed at the same time every night is one of those things that is so beneficial, but so understated.\nI used to be really bad about staying up late, even when my husband would go to bed. I realized that not only is it important for my health, but it's important for my relationship to go to bed at the same time as him so we can spend a few minutes talking and/or praying before we go to sleep. I still have trouble with the waking up part, though. :\\\nGood luck with your goal, Becky! I know you'll be successful and it will only get easier with time.\nI have to make a conscious choice to put myself and my health first when I am training for a marathon as I end up turning down a lot of things. I felt especially bad about missing all of my nephew's football games due to my long runs on Saturdays, but you can't half commit to marathon training - you have to be 'all in'.\nAlso, now that I am dating, I have to continue to choose my health over spending time with the guy I am seeing. Luckily he works out, too, so we both are choosing to work out on most weeks nights v. seeing each other sometimes. Which works out for both of us as we still make 2-3 nights to see each other!\nI'm looking forward to another knitting night this month. ;) I'm working on a new project!\nMy goal: it's ok to not be busy. and be ok with that. I'm still abuzz from the excitement of September and October which translates into me thinking I have to be busy all the time, which is so not the case! So I need to work on that. Coupled with me actually working out more, which is also something I need to do for ME!\nExcellent November goal- good luck!",

        "raw_content": "September 2009 - Can Children Spontaneously Recall Past Lives?\nDo you believe in past lives? Could the possibility of past lives explain some of your relationship patterns, fears, phobias, talents, likes and dislikes?\nSee the amazing video link at the end of this article to watch a persuasive case of one child\u2019s memories of a past life.\nThe concept of past lives or living multiple lives is not new at all, in fact reincarnation is a major cornerstone and tradition of both Buddhism and Hinduism. In addition, the Sufi tradition of Islam carries with it wonderful reflections of reincarnation concepts in much of their arts and music.\nSurprisingly, reincarnation also has its roots in both Christianity and Judaism. Judaism refers to reincarnation as \u201cgilgul\u201d and their fundamental belief goes back thousands of years. It remained a pillar of their religion until the mid 1800\u2019s when a more popular western and scientific way of thinking infiltrated Eastern European Jewish society. In Chasidic and Orthodox Jewish communities, reincarnation continues to be an important foundation of their faith until this day.\nIn regard to Christianity, early references to reincarnation mentioned in the New Testament were removed in the fourth century by Emperor Constantine when the Roman Empire adopted Christianity as their official religion. By the sixth century the Second Council of Constantinople officially declared reincarnation heresy.\nI want to share an amazing short video online of a young boy who seems to consciously recall his past life. It\u2019s one of the most persuasive cases I\u2019ve seen to date. Please ignore the short accompanying commercial at the beginning.\nIf this is a topic that interests you, I invite you to also check out my July 2009 newsletter that talks more extensively about this topic where you can view a powerful 5 part video documentary online about children and their past life memories.\nIf you\u2019re even a little curious, or you want to explore the root cause of a long term issue or pattern in your life, consider making an appointment to experience your own past life memories. Understanding your past history can help you unlock and release the unfinished business in your past, allowing you to make positive changes and move forward with your life.\nTo learn even more, feel free to visit my Past Life Therapy link on my website.",

        "raw_content": "Racing Grey\nBasset Records\n\"Blending poetic introspective lyrics with sixties inspired musical arrangements and lush vocal harmonies\". This is the description which is to be found on Steven Marks own homesite. In fact, this is a good description, I think.\nFurther, Steven gives up Elliot Smith, REM and Crosby, Stills and Nash as inspiration for his music. I still agree. But the most significant comparison is actually the Norwegian singer-songwriter William Hut, former vocalist in the Bergen-based pop group The Poor Rich Ones - probably a coincidence which has a lot to do with the similarity in their voices, but it turns out that they seem to have clear similarities also when it comes to their compositions.\nAnyway, Racing Grey is a collection of 13 different songs which both in style and variation. What they all have in common, is a delicate wrapping, both production- and arrangement-wise. My personal favourite is the beatlesque, piano-based \"Take Your Place Now\", a song which I presume even Sir Paul would have been proud of - if he had written it. Another good sign of Steven's sophisticated musical taste, is the beautiful cover of Burt Bacharach/Hal David's \"Always Something There to Remind Me\".\nBut also some of the faster, more guitar-based tracks shows Steven Marks good qualities as both composer and vocalist, for instance the opener \"Abingdon Square\", the poppy \"Angel's World\" and of course the aggro-light tune \"Paris Hilton Generation\", which in full shows the REM-inspirations.\nAll in all, this is an album with very few, if any, weak points, made by a solid artist which I look forward to hear more from.\nYou may also want to check out our Steven Mark article/review: Aloneaphobe.",

        "raw_content": "Home / Law / Lawyers for Injury and accident claims\nThe experience and skills of a personal injury or accident lawyer are often required to negotiate the legal rules governing a particular claim of compensation. Many times an insurance company may refuse to settle the claim by citing a variety of complex legal reasons. In such cases, a lawyer is what is required to contest the arguments put forward by the insurance company and get the compensation as soon as possible.\nWhat constitutes personal injury?\nMotor vehicle accidents in which negligent driving by an individual results in severe injury to another person. In effect, carelessness of one person causes harm to another person. The careless driver can be held financially responsible for the injuries suffered by a person due to his/her actions. The compensation in accident cases is determined by the severity of the injuries which in turn is measured by the amount of the medical bills.\nCarelessness of a medical professional in providing treatment to a patient resulting in injury is also considered to be a personal injury. In such cases, there are many medical and legal issues involved which can only be handled by a lawyer who is experienced in cases of medical malpractices.\nIntentional acts resulting in grievous injuries to a person also falls under the purview of personal injury laws. A person involved in assault and other acts of violence with the intention of hurting another person or persons can be booked under this law.\nDefamation of the character of a person by the utterance or writing of untrue statements against him or her resulting in injury to the reputation of the concerned person is also considered personal. The person need to prove that actual loss such as financial loss occurred as a result of the negative and untrue statement.\nPersonal injury lawyers also need to be hired when a government agency or an insurance company fails to give fair compensation regardless of the severity of the injury and the medical expenses.\nIt is necessary to find a good personal injury lawyer to get the maximum benefit in a court of law. People looking for a Personal Injury Lawyer Toronto can look up the various reputed and highly experienced law firms in the city who employ famous personal injury lawyers with many successful cases under their belt. They deal with each and every kind of personal injury cases.\nMotor vehicle accident rules are very complex in Toronto. There are many legal loopholes that the opposing side often exploits. Thus, people looking for good Toronto accident lawyers must enlist the services of any reputed law firm in the city.",

They create beautiful homes through innovative and sensitive design. They are specialists in heritage and listed buildings throughout Kent and Sussex.\nMark studied at Brighton School of Architecture and has 25 years\u2019 experience covering a wide range of projects. He has run his own practice for the past 12 years and has a particular interest in historical buildings. One of his first projects as a trainee was a Voysey house in the Lake District and since then he has also been privileged to work on buildings by, Waterhouse, Baillie Scott, Lutyens and Pugin.\nHe has a real passion for oast houses and he has studied some 3,000 buildings! These quaint, characterful buildings include some of the most beautiful examples of industrial vernacular architecture and are a delightful reminder of the region\u2019s agricultural past.\nListed or unlisted, previously developed or requiring complete renovation, Mark\u2019s sympathetic and creative input can transform these unique structures into stunning and highly desirable homes. Central to his design process is the balance between the client\u2019s needs, respect for a building\u2019s history and fabric, and the conditions of planning and building regulations.\nMark\u2019s Services\nIf you have an oast house, barn or other vernacular building that you would like to convert to a dwelling, please get in touch. I make an initial visit, without obligation, to discuss the options, talk you through the planning process and give you an approximate idea of costs.\nChange of use to residential\nWhere an oast house or other historic building is currently used as an office, or other non-residential use, the possibility of converting it can be investigated. This can either be to a new dwelling, or possibly into flats or for use as a holiday let.\nExtensions, Alterations and Refurbishments\nIf you are already living in an oast house or a similar building, I am happy to discuss the possibility of an extension, internal alterations and renovation to adapt your home to provide for a more modern way of living.\nhttp://www.markhorner.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/oast3.jpg 500 500\nThinking of buying an oast house?

        "raw_content": "> Research and revision\nI'm a bit more than mid-way through my first-ever reading of Haldeman's The Forever War. I'm also in the middle of Neal Stephenson's Anathem--the lethal two-books-at-once situation. But Haldeman's book is a fast-paced page-turner while Stephenson's is decidedly not, so they fit different reading needs and moods at different times.\nHaldeman's book is widely regarded as a major classic of both the sf genre and the war novel genre, and I am reading it with special attention to the way combat is depicted and how the off-duty culture of soldiers is handled as compared to some other military sf stories that I was more familiar with. I'm also comparing it a lot with those things in the story I've been writing.\nI used to mention more often on this blog my novel-in-progress, now code-named Neglected Project. It's set in the pre-history of a far-future milieu that my friend Pat and I co-devised a while ago (the universe of Really Neglected Project). Anyway, I got inspired and started banging it out last summer and it emerged as largely a military sf story--or at least with a lot of the trappings of such being used to convey the main idea. The manuscript now stands at a bit over 60,ooo words and it probably needs another 30-40K to be done. My progress has been very, very slow of late, and I realized that some of what's stalling it is that I haven't been sure how to dig into some of the scenes that still need to be finished or, in some cases, first-drafted. I've had what I felt were a lot of false starts with some the combat sequences that my plot demands occur in some detail and which need to have a real feeling of wild action.\nBut I've been looking back at some scenes in other sf war lit and reading this new-to-me book by Haldeman and glancing over some portions of Neglected Project...and starting to think that maybe I wasn't doing too badly to begin with and just need to revise and polish rather than start over. That's an encouraging way to feel, and it makes me feel like diving back into it. I may even come up with a real title someday.\nBy the way, I first learned of Joe Haldeman when I was kid and read his Star Trek novel WORLD WITHOUT END , from the Bantam series. I picked this up again about a year ago during a particularly bad depressed-can't-read-anything-new, need to occupy with my brain with something really easy phase. I was annoyed to find references to planets with names such as Enid 2 and New Ponca (these are derived from Oklahoma place names). Haldeman was originally from OK, so I get it that he was tipping his hat to his old stomping grounds, but I sure wasn't looking for it right THEN on that day in particular in a Trek novel that I was only reading to force awareness of my surroundings as far away as possible. What kind of a crap-hole of a planet would New Ponca be anyway? (sorry, Ponca City!) So, far, FOREVER WAR has been blessedly free of such references!\nFOREVER WAR is not only an excellent SF novel and a great example of life in the military, but it truly expresses the waste and futility of war.\nAnd if you need to read something to get over depression, try the Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy novels. It a great five book trilogy.\nAnd if you need something that make's even suicidal depression seem like a passing fancy, try the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant (All six books.) Now there's a guy who REALLY understands depression. But it's a great story nonetheless!\nRight on all counts, Dan. I'm probably going to post something or maybe write something in the zine about FOREVER WAR because it's brought a lot of things to mind. I have read the first 3 of the HITCHHIKER'S series a couple times in my life, but haven't gotten to the last 2 for some reason. Thomas Covenant I have not read, but I'll remember it next time I'm hunting for something.",

        "raw_content": "Excerpts from the new book The Macho Paradox\nMost people think violence against women is a women's issue. And why wouldn't they? Just about every woman in this society thinks about it every day. If they're not getting harassed on the street, living in an abusive relationship, recovering from a rape, or in therapy to deal with the sexual abuse they suffered as children, they're ordering their daily lives around the threat of men's violence.\nBut it's a mistake to call men's violence a women's issue. Take the subject of rape. Many people reflexively consider rape to be a women's issue. But let's take a closer look. What percentage of rape is committed by women? Is it 10 percent, 5 percent? No. Less than 1 percent of rape is committed by women. Let's state this another way: over 99 percent of rape is perpetrated by men. Whether the victims are female or male, men are overwhelmingly the perpetrators. But we call it a women's issue?\nA major premise of this article (and my new book, The Macho Paradox) is that the long-running American tragedy of sexual and domestic violence--including rape, battering, sexual harassment, and the sexual exploitation of women and girls--is more revealing about men than it is about women. Men, after all, are the ones committing the vast majority of the violence. Men are the ones doing most of the battering and almost all of the raping. Men are the ones paying the prostitutes (and killing them in video games), going to strip clubs, renting sexually degrading pornography, writing and performing misogynous music.\nWhen men's role in gender violence is discussed--in newspaper articles, sensational TV news coverage, or everyday conversation--the focus is typically on men as perpetrators, or potential perpetrators. These days, you don't have to look far to see evidence of the pain and suffering these men cause. But it's rare to find any in-depth discussion about the culture that's producing these violent men. It's almost as if the perpetrators were aliens who landed here from another planet. It's rarer still to hear thoughtful discussions about the ways our culture defines \"manhood,\" and how that definition might be linked to the endless string of stories about husbands killing wives, or groups of young men raping girls (and sometimes videotaping the rape) that we hear about on a regular basis.\nWhy isn't there more conversation about the underlying social factors that contribute to the pandemic of violence against women? Why aren't men's attitudes and behaviors toward women the focus of more critical scrutiny and coordinated action? In the early 21st century, the 24/7 news cycle brings us a steady stream of gender violence tragedies: serial killers on the loose, men abducting young girls, domestic violence homicides, sexual abuse scandals in powerful institutions like the Catholic Church and the Air Force Academy. You can barely turn on the news these days without coming across another gruesome sex crime--whether it's a group of boys gang-raping a girl in a middle school bathroom, or a young pregnant mother who turns up missing and a few days later her husband emerges as the primary suspect.\nIsn't it about time we had a national conversation about the male causes of this violence, instead of endlessly lingering on its consequences in the lives of women? Thanks to the U.S. battered women's and rape crisis movements, it is no longer taboo to discuss women's experience of sexual and domestic violence. This is a significant achievement. To an unprecedented extent, American women today expect to be supported--not condemned--when they disclose what men have done to them (unless the man is popular, wealthy, or well-connected, in which case all bets are off).\nThis is all to the good. Victims of violence and abuse--whether they're women or men--should be heard and respected. Their needs come first. But lets not confuse concern for victims with the political will to change the conditions that led to their victimization in the first place. On talk shows, in brutally honest memoirs, at Take Back the Night rallies, and even in celebrity interviews, our society now grants many women the platform to discuss the sexual abuse and mistreatment that have sadly been a part of women's lives here and around the world for millennia. But when was the last time you heard someone in public or private life talk about violence against women in a way that went beyond the standard victim fixation and put a sustained spotlight on men--either as perpetrators or as bystanders? It is one thing to focus on the \"against women\" part of the phrase. But someone's responsible for doing it, and (almost) everyone knows that it's overwhelmingly men. Why aren't people talking about this? Is it realistic to talk about preventing violence against women if no one even wants to say out loud who's responsible for it?\nFor the past two decades I've been part of a growing movement of men, in North America and around the world, whose aim is to reduce violence against women by focusing on those aspects of male culture--especially male peer culture--that provide active or tacit support for some men's abusive behavior. This movement is racially and ethnically diverse, and it brings together men from both privileged and poor communities, and everyone in between. This is challenging work on many levels, and no one should expect rapid results. For example, there is no way to gloss over some of the race, class, and sexual orientation divisions between and among the men ourselves. It is also true that it takes time to change social norms that are so deeply rooted in structures of gender and power. Even so, there is room for optimism. We've had our successes: There are arguably more men today who are actively confronting violence against women than at any time in human history.\nMake no mistake. Women blazed the trail that we are riding down. Men are in the position to do this work precisely because of the great leadership of women. The battered women's and rape crisis movements and their allies in local, state, and federal government have accomplished a phenomenal amount over the past generation. Public awareness about violence against women is at an all-time high. The level of services available today for female victims and survivors of men's violence is--while not yet adequate--nonetheless historically unprecedented.\nBut one area where our society still has a very long way to go is in preventing perpetration. We continue to produce in the United States hundreds of thousands of physically and emotionally abusive--and sexually dangerous--boys and men each year. Millions more men participate in sexist behaviors on a continuum that ranges from mildly objectifying women to literally enslaving them in human trafficking syndicates. We can provide services to the female victims of these men until the cows come home. We can toughen enforcement of rape, domestic violence, and stalking laws, arrest and incarcerate even more men than we do currently. But this is all reactive and after the fact. It is essentially an admission of failure.\nWhat I am proposing is that we adopt a much more ambitious approach. If we are going to bring down the rates of violence against women dramatically--not just at the margins--we will need a far-reaching cultural revolution. At its heart this revolution must be about changing the sexist social norms in male culture, from the elementary school playground to the common room in retirement communities--and every locker room, pool hall, and boardroom in between. For us to have any hope of achieving historic reductions in incidents of violence against women, at a minimum we will need to dream big and act boldly. It almost goes without saying that we will need the help of a lot more men--at all levels of power and influence--than are currently involved. Obviously we have our work cut out for us. As a measure of just how far we have to go, consider that in spite of the misogyny and sexist brutality all around us, millions of nonviolent men today fail to see gender violence as their issue. \"I'm a good guy,\" they say. \"This isn't my problem.\"\nFor years, women of every conceivable ethnic, racial, and religious background have been trying to get men around them--and men in power--to do more about violence against women. They have asked nicely, and they have demanded angrily. Some women have done this on a one-to-one basis with boyfriends and husbands, fathers and sons. They have patiently explained to men they care about how much they--and all women--have been harmed by men's violence. Others have gone public with their grievances. They have written songs and slam poetry. They have produced brilliant academic research. They have made connections between racism and sexism. They have organized speakouts on college campuses, and in communities large and small. They have marched. They have advocated for legal and political reform at the state and national level. On both a micro and a macro level, women in this era have successfully broken through their historical silence about violence against women and found their voice--here in the United States and around the world.\nYet even with all of these achievements, women continue to face an uphill struggle in trying to make meaningful inroads into male culture. Their goal has not been simply to get men to listen to women's stories and truly hear them--although that is a critical first step. The truly vexing challenge has been getting men to actually go out and do something about the problem, in the form of educating and organizing other men in numbers great enough to prompt a real cultural shift. Some activist women--even those who have had great faith in men as allies--have been beating their heads against the wall for a long time, and are frankly burned out on the effort. I know this because I have been working with many of these women for a long time. They are my colleagues and friends.\nMy work is dedicated to getting more men to take on the issue of violence against women, and thus to build on what women have achieved. The area that I focus on is not law enforcement or offender treatment, but the prevention of sexual and domestic violence and all their related social pathologies--including violence against children. To do this, I and other men here and around the world have been trying to get our fellow men to see that this problem is not just personal for a small number of men who happen to have been touched by the issue. We try to show them that it is personal for them, too. For all of us. We talk about men not only as perpetrators, but as victims. We try to show them that violence by men against each other--from simple assaults to gay-bashing--is linked to the same structures of gender and power that produce so much men's violence against women.\nBut there is no point in being na\u00efve about why women have had such a difficult time convincing men to make violence against women a men's issue. In spite of significant social change in recent decades, men continue to grow up with, and are socialized into, a deeply misogynous, male-dominated culture, where violence against women--from the subtle to the homicidal--is disturbingly common. It's normal. And precisely because the mistreatment of women is such a pervasive characteristic of our patriarchal culture, most men, to a greater or lesser extent, have played a role in its perpetuation. This gives us a strong incentive to avert our eyes.\nWomen, of course, have also been socialized into this misogynous culture. Some of them resist and fight back. In fact, women's ongoing resistance to their subordinate status is one of the most momentous developments in human civilization over the past two centuries. Just the same, plenty of women show little appetite for delving deeply into the cultural roots of sexist violence. It's much less daunting simply to blame \"sick\" individuals for the problem. You hear women all the time explaining away men's bad behavior as the result of individual pathology: \"Oh, he just had a bad childhood,\" or \"He's an angry drunk. The booze gets to him. He's never been able to handle it.\"\nBut regardless of how difficult it can be to show some women that violence against women is a social problem that runs deeper than the abusive behavior of individual men, it is still much easier to convince women--of all races, ethnicities, and religious beliefs--that dramatic change is in their best interest than it is to convince men. In fact, many people would argue that, since men are the dominant sex-class, and violence serves to reinforce this dominance, it is not in men's best interests to reduce violence against women, and that the very attempt to enlist a critical mass of men in this effort amounts to a fool's errand.\nFor those of us who reject this line of reasoning, the big question, then, is how do we reach men? We know we're not going to transform, overnight or over many decades, certain structures of male power and privilege that have developed over thousands of years. Nevertheless, how are we going to bring more men--many more men--into a conversation about sexism and violence against women? And how are we going to do this without turning them off, without berating them, without blaming them for centuries of sexist oppression?\nMoreover, how are we going to move beyond talk and get substantial numbers of men to partner with women in reducing men's violence, instead of working against them in some sort of fruitless and counterproductive gender struggle?\nThat is the $64,000 dollar question. Esta Soler, executive director of the Family Violence Prevention Fund and an influential leader in the domestic violence movement, says that activating men is \"the next frontier\" in the women-led movement. \"In the end,\" she says, \"we cannot change society unless we put more men at the table, amplify men's voices in the debate, enlist men to help change social norms on the issue, and convince men to teach their children that violence against women is always wrong.\"\nCall me a starry-eyed optimist, but I have long been convinced that there are millions of men in our society who are ready to respond well to a positive message about this subject. If you go to a group of men with your finger pointed (\"Stop treating women so badly!\") you'll often get a defensive response. But if you approach the same group of men by appealing, in Abraham Lincoln's famous words, to \"the better angels of their nature,\" surprising numbers of them will rise to the occasion.\nFor me, this is not just an article of faith. Our society has made real progress in confronting the long-standing problem of men's violence against women in my lifetime. Take the 1994 Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). It is the most far-reaching piece of legislation ever on the subject. Federal funds have enabled all sorts of new initiatives, including prevention efforts that target men and boys. There have been many other encouraging developments on both the institutional and the individual levels. Not the least of these positive developments is the fact that so many young men today \"get\" the concept of gender equality and are actively working against men's violence.\nThere are a number of studies in the past several years that demonstrate that significant numbers of men are uncomfortable with the way some of their male peers talk about and treat women. But since few men in our society have dared to talk publicly about such matters, many men think they are the only ones who feel uncomfortable.\nBecause they feel isolated and alone in their discomfort, they do not say anything. Their silence, in turn, simply reinforces the false perception that few men are uncomfortable with sexist attitudes and behaviors. It is a vicious cycle that keeps a lot of caring men silent.\nI meet men all the time who thank me--or my fellow activists and colleagues--for publicly taking on the subject of men's violence. I frequently meet men who are receptive to the paradigm-shifting idea that men's violence against women has to be understood as a men's issue. Their issue. These men come from every demographic and geographic category. They include thousands of men who would not fit neatly into simplistic stereotypes about the kind of man who would be involved in \"that touchy-feely stuff.\"\nStill, it is an uphill fight. Truly lasting change is only going to happen as new generations of women come of age and demand equal treatment with men in every realm, and new generations of men work with them to reject the sexist attitudes and behaviors of their predecessors. This will take decades, and the outcome is hardly predetermined. But along with tens of thousands of activist women and men who continue to fight the good fight, I believe that it is possible to achieve something much closer to gender equality, and a dramatic reduction in the level of men's violence against women, both here and around the world. And there is a lot at stake. If sexism and violence against women do not subside considerably in the 21st century, it will not just be bad news for women. It will also say something truly ugly and tragic about the future of our species.\nJackson Katz is one of the nation's leading advocates in gender violence education and a co-founder of Mentors in Violence Prevention (MVP).

        "raw_content": "Culture Dish Diversity Mixer: Building Connections Between Science Writers\nThe basement was packed, and dozens of voices filled the space. I hear the bartender said they were not expecting this big a turnout at the diversity mixer, they expected at best seventy people. I estimate there were at least twice as many. I would love to have the bartender confirming or refuting my calculations; but, I did not have the chance to ask her, it was too crowded.\nA few hours earlier I had no idea that so many people were going to spend a fun evening in such close proximity with other science writers. My group arrived early at the Culture Dish Diversity Mixer, organized by Apoorva Mandavilli and Nidhi Subbaraman, sponsored by their National Association of Science Writers Idea Grant. The mixer was an all-are-welcome social event to celebrate and promote diversity at the annual Science Writers conference. This was the first event organized by Culture Dish; and, we, the DiverseScholar NASW 2014 Diversity fellows, were ready to support and participate in the mixer from the get-go.\nWhen we got to the brewery and went downstairs we found about five people already waiting in the basement. I was happy to be with a group of people so diverse, interesting, and fun; but, I was still insecure about how many more people would join us. I decided to go up to the street level to make sure people coming from the conference hotel knew that the mixer was happening downstairs, and also to meet my guest, a friend researcher from Ohio State University, who I was going to meet at the brewery.\nStanding on the sidewalk, outside the door of the restaurant and chatting with my friend, I started to see a stream of people with their conference nametags coming down the street. First I saw a group of six people:\n\u201cThe diversity culture dish mixer is in the basement\u201d, I said while pointing to the door.\nI was delighted to see that all of them went downstairs to join the Mixer.\nSoon more people began arriving in groups of six or more, including a group of about twenty people. I realized that everyone already knew what they were coming for, I realized that the diversity mixer would be a success. To announce the event was not necessary, I just occasionally had to point my arm towards the door and say \u201cbasement.\u201d\nWhen the flow of people began to slow down it was time to go to the mixer. My friend and I did not want to miss the action. Downstairs we entered a room as big as a semi-Olympic pool, with century-old stone walls. Bar and food at one end, high round tables scattered in the middle, and, at the other end, two brick arches that opened into small rooms.\ndiversity is worth supporting actively\nIt was really crowded. My friend and I stayed in the little rooms near the exit where the conversation was quieter and there was chance that we might understand the people talking to us in English. Frankly, the conversations that followed were delicious. After a few conversations, my friend told me how happy he was that he had come to the mixer, and that he loved the diversity of people in the room.\n\u201cI have spoken with journalists, students, writers, neuroscientists, geologists, broadcasters, and biologists in a single night\u201d \u2013 he told me - \u201cMy meetings in electromagnetism don\u2019t such a diversity of professions and life stories. I love this group!\u201d\nI commented that this was a social event celebrating diversity; but, if the diversity of professions attending the conference was pretty good, our overall diversity as a community was lacking (Diep 2014). Science writing was still a field plagued with the barriers that typically limit the access and success of women, people of color, and the disabled as the testimonials from the conference show. This mixer was a great space to bring together more diverse voices and to help them meet other writers supporting diversity.\n\u201cExcellent!\u201d - said my friend- \u201cHave you met another Hispanic writer?\u201d\n\u201c\u00a1No mames guey!\u201d he switched to Spanish to say this, with perfect pronunciation, despite being from Turkey.\n\u201cIt doesn\u2019t suck\u201d - I said - \u201cI am happy\u201d.\nI came to the science writers meeting to promote Red Comuniciencia, a professional network of science communicators creating content in Spanish for the Hispanic audiences (Gonzalez 2014), and to live-tweet the event in Spanish. I was also here to help raise awareness about the lack of diversity in our profession. I was spending time with other amazing communicators and diversity champions, having fun but also talking seriously to raise our voices. That\u2019s what we were doing that night, that was what made me so happy at the mixer.\nPeople around us were having a good time that establishes familiarity and trust \u2014 building connections between people that seldom share a common space. There was an imperfect mix that night compared to the nation\u2019s diversity; but, how can the U.S. be reflected in one room for just one night? It was a delicious mix, and something of a memorable beginning. The important accomplishment was to make tangible the support from our science writer community toward the value of diversity.\nIf the number of people in the room that night is a reflection of something, it\u2019s that things are changing. More people are realizing that diversity is worth supporting actively.\nI felt good at the mixer among the best company in the world, ready to promote diversity, today, tomorrow, and for as long as it is needed.\nI.F.

        "raw_content": "Engaging the Science-Poor\nWe live in a world of have and have-nots. Both groups have the same goal: to be healthy and happy. However, the haves are the science-rich who have a deep understanding and access to science resources, while the have-nots are science-poor. Women, people of color, and low-income individuals are disproportionately represented among the science-poor. The 2014 National Science Foundation Science Indicators show these groups are less likely to have careers in science. To bridge the gap between the science-rich and poor we need better communication. Science journalists are the brokers of science to the general public.\nTo successfully communicate, science journalists must understand their audience. People contextualize new information as it relates to their personal and in-group circumstance and beliefs. Unfortunately, many science news articles are not relevant for underrepresented audiences. Articles can be jargon-heavy and lack a tangible message to the reader. Although science is a fact-driven enterprise, journalists must offer insights to connect with their audience. Science journalists with a shared background or strong dedication to their audience can effectively engage underrepresented groups. This type of engagement shows the public how science affects their lives and personal situation and consequently fosters interest in science.\nIn addition, diversity in science journalism promotes advocacy for issues that affect underrepresented groups. Presenting these issues in the news media builds understanding and trust in the scientific process. If there is no voice to represent those who lack the power, the progress of these groups in science will remain stagnant. Advocating for these groups in the sciences will become increasingly important as the United States becomes more diverse.\nTo this end, I have tried to reach out to groups underrepresented in science. I started a career-focused website called The Day in the Life Project which seeks to increase the salience of people of color and women in professional careers and thereby and foster self-efficacy. My original motivation for the website was the underrepresentation of people in medicine. In addition, we hosted a conference, called the STEP UP (Science & Technology: Emerging professions, Underrepresented Professions) for college and high school students interested in science and technology.\nScience journalists are the brokers of science to the general public\nI have also contributed to increased diversity by writing articles and opinion editorials. Most recently, I wrote an article entitled The lack of underrepresented minorities in STEM featured on KevinMD. This piece focused on why people of color do not pursue careers in science. Also, I wrote a column for USA Today titled, What awaits Ivy applicant, which documented my personal journey in higher education. In addition, I recently advocated for donating blood for those affected with sickle cell disease, a genetic disease which is prevalence in African Americans in USA Today (How about ice bucket for sickle cell).\nStill, I have much to learn to become an effective science journalist. ScienceWriters 2014 is a unique opportunity to hear from leading science journalists. As a future doctor with a passion for science journalism and education, I will use the lessons learnt from ScienceWriters2014 to communicate medical treatment and research advances to the general public. Also, I hope to learn novel communication methods to inspire people from underrepresented groups to pursue careers in science. Finally, I look forward to joining a community of science writers, particularly those from minority groups.\nK. Sobowale (2012) The lack of underrepresented minorities in STEM, KevinMD, January 4\nK.

On the final day of the program, students presented findings about the work they did this summer.\nMcGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine affiliated faculty member Michael Lotze, MD, UPCI International Academy Program director, as well as other UPCI faculty, staff, and academy scholars participated with the presenting students.\nThe UPCI International Academy is designed to give students real-world experience in working alongside scientists and cancer clinicians. The goal of the program is to teach students the scientific hallmarks of cancer, helping them learn how to speak the language of science, and promoting science as a performing art.\nThe program began 5 years ago with 5 participants and has grown this summer to 56 scholars. For the first time in the program, international students also were admitted, including several from Kazakhstan and Germany. Although half hale from the greater Pittsburgh area, many of them are from groups previously under-represented in the biomedical sciences as well as scholars from Hawaii, Minnesota, Vermont, New Jersey, Texas, Virginia, and Maryland.\nThe students spent the summer working in one of five locations. These included:\nHillman Cancer Center (cancer biology)\nWomen\u2019s Cancer Research Center at Magee-Womens Research Institute (women\u2019s cancers)\nStarzl Biomedical Science Tower (tumor immunology)\nBiomedical Science Tower III (drug discovery, systems, and computational biology)\nOffices at Baum (computer sciences, biological sciences, and biomedical informatics).\nIllustration: University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute.\nUPCI Summer Academy",

        "raw_content": "by Alice Dempsey\nAmerican-Lithuanian singer, multi-instrumentalist, and composer Abraham Brody is throwing more weight behind his upcoming album Crossings, scheduled for release on the 16th of November via Greenhouse Studios, this time via a new video for its \"In The Dream\" which we are able to bring you for the first time below.\nBorn into a naturally artistic family in the USA, Abraham Brody lived in Austria, London, and Lithuania, before deciding to settle in Reykjavik, Iceland, to further pursue his uniquely mystical vision. Comparable to modern classical avant-garde composers such as ANOHNI\u2019s Anthony and the Johnsons project, Laurie Anderson and Anna von Hausswolff, Brody has also since been dubbed\u201cLithuania's male Bj\u00f6rk\u201d for his ability to innovate; mixing crushing atmospheric classical sections, dazzling electronics and synthesizers on top of imaginative, passion-soaked vocal layering, and spiritual compositions akin to composers such as \u00d3lafur Arnaldsor Icelandic collective amiina.\nAbraham Brody's music video for the sombre \"In The Dream\" can best be described as 'connection'. Each character has a struggle of some sort to go through, but even though they think they are alone, every single person is connected; showing us that you're not alone. Relationships come in many different forms and \"In The Dream\" proves that if we simply learn to connect with each other and love with acceptance despite our differences, social issues like homophobia, xenophobia, and racism will be a thing of the past.\nCommenting on his latest single, Brody adds, \u201cI was thinking of the different layers of relationships - how we make projections on each other, imagining the person in a certain way that may not be the truth. If we are lucky we peel off all the layers and get to see what's within. It's about insecurity, how we are always searching and never satisfied...the more we search the less we find.\u201d\nBrody's upcoming album was produced by Francesco Fabris at Greenhouse Studios (Ben Frost, Valgeir Sigurdsson, Bj\u00f6rk, JFDR) in Iceland and he's looking forward to performing at London Jazz Festival at Village Underground on the 18th November.\nArtist: Abraham Brody\nGenre: Electronic, Neo-classical\nSingle name: \u201cIn The Dream\u201d\nLink to Website: http://www.abrahambrody.com\nLink to Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/abrahambrody\nLink to Twitter profile page: https://twitter.com/abrahambrodylt\nLink to YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuAQxriYtaxsQcKFJIRMaJg\nLink to Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/abemcw64\nSeptember 28th - Vilnius, Lithuania\nSeptember 29th - Kaunas, Lithuania\nOctober 6th - Mengi, Reykjavik, Iceland\nOctober 4th - Bla, Oslo\nOctober 21th - National Sawdust, NYC\nNovember 18th - London Jazz Festival at Village Underground, UK\nDecember 5th - Loftas, Vilnius, Lithuania\nJanuary 12th 2019 - Vega, Copenhagen\nMusic Week Presents",

Inspector Finch (Stephen Rea), Scotland Yard's Chief of Police, is tasked with investigating V's activities while BTN declares the incident an \"emergency demolition\". V interrupts the broadcast to claim responsibility and urges the people of Britain to rise up against their government. He asks them to meet him exactly one year later, on November 5, Guy Fawkes Night, outside the Houses of Parliament, which he promises to destroy. During the broadcast, the police attempt to capture V. Evey helps him escape but is knocked unconscious.\nDirected by K\u014dji Morimoto, Shin'ichir\u014d Watanabe, Yoshiaki Kawajiri, Mahiro Maeda, Peter Chung, Takeshi Koike\nGenres Science fiction, Animation\nThemes Films about slavery, Films about computing, Philosophie, Post-apocalyptic films, Films about religion, Sports films, Transport films, Aviation films, Films set in the future, Martial arts films, Political films, Cyberpunk films, Dystopian films, Robot films, Disaster films\nActors Hedy Burress, James Arnold Taylor, Clayton Watson, Kevin Michael Richardson, Pamela Adlon, Melinda Clarke",

Healthy cartilage serves as a protective cushion, allows smooth, and low-friction movements of the joint. If the cartilage has damaged by disease or injury, the tissues around the joint become inflamed and causes pain. With time, the cartilage wears away, allowing the rough edges of bones to rub against each other, resulting in more intense pain.\nWhen only a part of the joint is damaged, surgeon may repair or replace the damaged part. However, when the entire joint is damaged, a total joint replacement is required. To replace a total hip or knee joint, the surgeon removes the diseased or damaged parts, followed by insertion of artificial parts, called prostheses or implants.",

        "title": "CHURCH FATHERS: History of Armenia (Moses of Chorene)",
        "raw_content": "Home > Fathers of the Church > History of Armenia (Moses of Chorene)\nMoses of Chorene.\nI. Reign of Abgar; Armenia becomes completely tributary to the Romans; war with Herod's troops; his brother's son, Joseph, is killed.\nAbgar, son of Archam, ascends the throne in the twentieth year of Archavir, king of the Persians. This Abgar was called Avak-air (great man), on account of his great gentleness and wisdom, and also on account of his size. Not being able to pronounce well, the Greeks and the Syrians called him Abgar. In the second year of his reign, all the districts of Armenia become tributary to the Romans. A command is given by the Emperor Augustus, as we are told in the Gospel of St. Luke, to number all the people in every part. Roman commissioners, sent for that purpose into Armenia, carried there the statue of the Emperor Augustus, and set it up in all the temples. At this very time, our Saviour Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came into the world.\nAt the same period there was trouble between Abgar and Herod: for Herod wished that his statue should be erected near to that of C\u00e6sar in the temples of Armenia. Abgar withstood this claim. Moreover, Herod was but seeking a pretext to attack Abgar: he sent an army of Thracians and Germans to make an incursion into the country of the Persians, with orders to pass through the territories of Abgar. But Abgar, far from submitting to this, resisted, saying that the emperor's command was to march the troops into Persia through the desert. Herod, indignant, and unable to act by himself, overwhelmed with troubles, as a punishment for his wicked conduct towards Christ, as Josephus relates, sent his nephew to whom he had given his daughter, who had been married in the first instance to Ph\u00e9ror, his brother. Herod's lieutenant, at the head of a considerable army, hastened to reach Mesopotamia, met Abgar at the camp in the province of Pouknan, fell in the combat, and his troops were put to flight. Soon afterwards, Herod died: Archelaus, his son, was appointed by Augustus ethnarch of Jud\u00e6a.\nII. Founding of the town of Edessa; brief account of the race of our illuminator.\nA little while afterwards, Augustus dies, and Tiberius becomes emperor of the Romans in his stead. Germanicus, having become C\u00e6sar, dragging in his train the princes of the kingdom of Archavir and of Abgar, celebrates a triumph in respect of the war waged with them, in which these princes had killed Herod's nephew. Abgar, indignant, forms plans of revolt and prepares himself for combat. He builds a town on the ground occupied by the Armenian army of observation, where previously the Euphrates had been defended against the attempts of Cassius: this new town is called Edessa. Abgar removed to it his court, which was at Medzpine, all his gods, Naboc, Bel, Patnicagh, and Tarata, the books of the schools attached to the temples, and even the royal archives.\nAfter this, Archavir being dead, Ardach\u00e8s, his son, reigns over the Persians. Though it is not in the order of the history with respect to time, nor even the order according to which we have begun these annals, yet, as we are treating of descendants of the king Archavir, even of the blood of Ardach\u00e8s his son, we will, to do honour to these princes, place them, by anticipating the time, near to Ardach\u00e8s, in order that the reader may know that they are of the same race, of the race of the brave Archag; then we will indicate the time of the arrival of their fathers in Armenia, the Garenians and the Sourenians, from whom St. Gregory and the Gamsarians are descended, when, following the order of events, we come to the reign of the king under whom they appeared.\nAbgar did not succeed in his plans of revolt; for, troubles having arisen among his relatives in the Persian kingdom, he set out at the head of an army to allay and bring to an end the dissension.\nIII. Abgar comes into the East, maintains Ardach\u00e8s upon the throne of Persia; reconciles his brothers from whom our illuminator and his relations are descended.\nAbgar, having gone to the East, finds on the throne of Persia Ardach\u00e8s, son of Archavir, and the brothers of Ardach\u00e8s contending against him: for this prince thought to reign over them in his posterity, and they would not consent to it. Ardach\u00e8s therefore hems them in on all sides, hangs the sword of death over their heads; distractions and dissension were between their troops and their other relations and allies: for King Archavir had three sons and one daughter; the first of these sons was King Ardach\u00e8s himself, the second Garene, the third Sourene; their sister, named Gochm, was wife of the general of all the Ariks, a general chosen by their father Archavir.\nAbgar prevails on the sons of Archavir to make peace; he arranges between them the conditions and stipulations: Ardach\u00e8s is to reign with his posterity as he proposed, and his brothers are to be called Bahlav, from the name of their town and their vast and fertile country, so that their satrapies shall be the first, higher in rank than all the satrapies of Persia, as being truly a race of kings. Treaties and oaths stipulated that in case of the extinction of male children of Ardach\u00e8s, his brothers should come to the throne; after the reigning race of Ardach\u00e8s, his brothers are divided into three races named thus: the race of Garene Bahlav, the race of Sourene Bahlav, and the race of their sister, the race of Asbahabied Bahlav, a race thus called from the name of the domain of her husband.\nSt. Gregory is said to have sprung from the race Sourene Bahlav, and the Gamsarians from the race Garene Bahlav. We will relate in the sequel the circumstances of the coming of these personages, only mentioning their names here in connection with Ardach\u00e8s, in order that you may know that these great races are indeed the blood of Vagharchag, that is to say, the posterity of the great Archag, brother of Vagharchag.\nEverything being thus arranged, Abgar takes with him the letter of the treaties, and returns to his dominions; not in perfect health, but a prey to severe suffering.\nIV. Abgar returns from the east; he gives help to Aretas in a war against Herod the Tetrarch.\nWhen Abgar had returned from the East, he learned that the Romans suspected him of having gone there to raise troops. He therefore made the Roman commissioners acquainted with the reasons of his journey to Persia, as well as the treaty concluded between Ardach\u00e8s and his brothers; but no credence was given to his statement: for he was accused by his enemies Pilate, Herod the tetrarch, Lysanias and Philip. Abgar having returned to his city Edessa leagued himself with Aretas, king of Petra, and gave him some auxiliary troops under the command of Khosran Ardzrouni, to make war upon Herod. Herod had in the first instance married the daughter of Aretas, then had repudiated her, and thereupon taken Herodias, even in her husband's lifetime, a circumstance in connection with which he had had John the Baptist put to death. Consequently there was war between Herod and Aretas on account of the wrong done the daughter of Aretas. Being sharply attacked, Herod's troops were defeated, thanks to the help of the brave Armenians; as if, by divine providence, vengeance was taken for the death of John the Baptist.\nV. Abgar sends princes to Marinus; these deputies see our Saviour Christ; beginning of the conversion of Abgar.\nAt this period Marinus, son of Storoge, was raised by the emperor to the government of Ph\u0153nicia, Palestine, Syria, and Mesopotamia. Abgar sent to him two of his principal officers, Mar-Ihap prince of Aghtznik, and Chamchacram chief of the house of the Abahouni, as well as Anan his confidant. The envoys proceed to the town of Petkoupine to make known to Marinus the reasons of Abgar's journey to the East, showing him the treaty concluded between Ardach\u00e8s and his brothers, and at the same time to call upon Marinus for his support. The deputies found the Roman governor at Eleutheropolis; he received them with friendship and distinction, and gave this answer to Abgar: Fear nothing from the emperor on that account, provided you take good care to pay the tribute regularly.\nOn their return, the Armenian deputies went to Jerusalem to see our Saviour the Christ, being attracted by the report of His miracles. Having themselves become eye-witnesses of these wonders, they related them to Abgar. This prince, seized with admiration, believed truly that Jesus was indeed the Son of God, and said: These wonders are not those of a man, but of a God. No, there is no one among men who can raise the dead: God alone has this power. Abgar felt in his whole body certain acute pains which he had got in Persia, more than seven years before; from men he had received no remedy for his sufferings; Abgar sent a letter of entreaty to Jesus: he prayed Him to come and cure him of his pains. Here is this letter:\u2014\nVI. Abgar's letter to the Saviour Jesus Christ.\nAbgar, son of Archam, prince of the land, to Jesus, Saviour and Benefactor of men, who has appeared in the country of Jerusalem, greeting:\u2014\nI have heard of You, and of the cures wrought by Your hands, without remedies, without herbs: for, as it is said, You make the blind to see, the lame to walk, the lepers to be healed; You drive out unclean spirits, You cure unhappy beings afflicted with prolonged and inveterate diseases; You even raise the dead. As I have heard of all these wonders wrought by You, I have concluded from them either that You are God, come down from heaven to do such great things, or that You are the Son of God, working as You do these miracles. Therefore have I written to You, praying You to condescend to come to me and cure me of the complaints with which I am afflicted. I have heard also that the Jews murmur against You and wish to deliver You up to torments: I have a city small but pleasant, it would be sufficient for us both.\nThe messengers, the bearers of this letter, met Jesus at Jerusalem, a fact confirmed by these words of the Gospel: Some from among the heathen came to find Jesus, but those who heard them, not daring to tell Jesus what they had heard, told it to Philip and Andrew, who repeated it all to their Master.\nThe Saviour did not then accept the invitation given to Him, but He thought fit to honour Abgar with an answer in these words:\u2014\nVII. Answer to Abgar's letter, which the apostle Thomas wrote to this prince by command of the Saviour.\nBlessed is he who believes in me without having seen me! For it is written of me: 'Those who see me will not believe in me, and those who do not see me will believe and live.' As to what you have written asking me to come to you, I must accomplish here all that for which I have been sent; and, when I shall have accomplished it all, I shall ascend to Him who sent me; and when I shall go away I will send one of my disciples, who will cure your diseases, and give life to you and to all those who are with you. Anan, Abgar's courier, brought him this letter, as well as the portrait of the Saviour, a picture which is still to be found at this day in the city of Edessa.\nVIII. Preaching of the apostle Thadd\u00e6us at Edessa; copy of five letters.\nAfter the ascension of our Saviour, the Apostle Thomas, one of the twelve, sent one of the seventy-six disciples, Thadd\u00e6us, to the city of Edessa to heal Abgar and to preach the Gospel, according to the word of the Lord. Thadd\u00e6us came to the house of Tobias, a Jewish prince, who is said to have been of the race of the Pacradouni. Tobias, having left Archam, did not abjure Judaism with the rest of his relatives, but followed its laws up to the moment when he believed in Christ. Soon the name of Thadd\u00e6us spreads through the whole town. Abgar, on learning of his arrival, said: This is indeed he concerning whom Jesus wrote to me; and immediately Abgar sent for the apostle. When Thadd\u00e6us entered, a marvellous appearance presented itself to the eyes of Abgar in the countenance of the apostle; the king having risen from his throne, fell on his face to the earth, and prostrated himself before Thadd\u00e6us. This spectacle greatly surprised all the princes who were present, for they were ignorant of the fact of the vision. Are you really, said Abgar to Thadd\u00e6us, are you the disciple of the ever-blessed Jesus? Are you he whom He promised to send to me, and can you heal my maladies? Yes, answered Thadd\u00e6us; if you believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the desires of your heart shall be granted. I have believed in Jesus, said Abgar, I have believed in His Father; therefore I wished to go at the head of my troops to destroy the Jews who have crucified Jesus, had I not been prevented by reason of the power of the Romans.\nThenceforth Thadd\u00e6us began to preach the Gospel to the king and his town; laying his hands upon Abgar, he cured him; he cured also a man with gout, Abdu, a prince of the town, much honoured in all the king's house. He also healed all the sick and infirm people in the town, and all believed in Jesus Christ. Abgar was baptized, and all the town with him, and the temples of the false gods were closed, and all the statues of idols that were placed on the altars and columns were hidden by being covered with reeds. Abgar did not compel any one to embrace the faith yet from day to day the number of the believers was multiplied.\nThe Apostle Thadd\u00e6us baptizes a manufacturer of silk head-dresses, called Att\u00e6us, consecrates him, appoints him to minister at Edessa, and leaves him with the king instead of himself. Thadd\u00e6us, after having received letters patent from Abgar, who wished that all should listen to the Gospel of Christ, went to find Sanadroug, son of Abgar's sister, whom this prince had appointed over the country and over the army. Abgar was pleased to write to the Emperor Tiberius a letter in these words:\u2014\nAbgar's letter to Tiberius\nAbgar, king of Armenia, to my Lord Tiberius, emperor of the Romans, greeting:\u2014\nI know that nothing is unknown to your Majesty, but, as your friend, I would make you better acquainted with the facts by writing. The Jews who dwell in the cantons of Palestine have crucified Jesus: Jesus without sin, Jesus after so many acts of kindness, so many wonders and miracles wrought for their good, even to the raising of the dead. Be assured that these are not the effects of the power of a simple mortal, but of God. During the time that they were crucifying Him, the sun was darkened, the earth was moved, shaken; Jesus Himself, three days afterwards, rose from the dead and appeared to many. Now, everywhere, His name alone, invoked by His disciples, produces the greatest miracles: what has happened to myself is the most evident proof of it. Your august Majesty knows henceforth what ought to be done in future with respect to the Jewish nation, which has committed this crime; your Majesty knows whether a command should not be published through the whole universe to worship Christ as the true God. Safety and health.\nAnswer from Tiberius to Abgar's letter\nTiberius, emperor of the Romans, to Abgar, king of the Armenians, greeting:\u2014\nYour kind letter has been read to me, and I wish that thanks should be given to you from me. Though we had already heard several persons relate these facts, Pilate has officially informed us of the miracles of Jesus. He has certified to us that after His resurrection from the dead He was acknowledged by many to be God. Therefore I myself also wished to do what you propose; but, as it is the custom of the Romans not to admit a god merely by the command of the sovereign, but only when the admission has been discussed and examined in full senate, I proposed the affair to the senate, and they rejected it with contempt, doubtless because it had not been considered by them first. But we have commanded all those whom Jesus suits, to receive him among the gods. We have threatened with death any one who shall speak evil of the Christians. As to the Jewish nation which has dared to crucify Jesus, who, as I hear, far from deserving the cross and death, was worthy of honour, worthy of the adoration of men \u2014 when I am free from the war with rebellious Spain, I will examine into the matter, and will treat the Jews as they deserve.\nAbgar writes another letter to Tiberius\nAbgar, king of the Armenians, to my lord Tiberius, emperor of the Romans, greeting:\u2014\nI have received the letter written from your august Majesty, and I have applauded the commands which have emanated from your wisdom. If you will not be angry with me, I will say that the conduct of the senate is extremely ridiculous and absurd: for, according to the senators, it is after the examination and by the suffrages of men that divinity may be ascribed. Thus, then, if God does not suit man, He cannot be God, since God is to be judged and justified by man. It will no doubt seem just to my lord and master to send another governor to Jerusalem in the place of Pilate, who ought to be ignominiously driven from the powerful post in which you placed him; for he has done the will of the Jews: he has crucified Christ unjustly, without your order. That you may enjoy health is my desire.\nAbgar, having written this letter, placed a copy of it, with copies of the other letters, in his archives. He wrote also to the young Nerseh, king of Assyria, at Babylon:\u2014\nAbgar's letter to Nerseh\nAbgar, king of the Armenians, to my son Nerseh, greeting:\u2014\nI have received your letter and acknowledgments. I have released Beroze from his chains, and have pardoned his offenses: if this pleases you, give him the government of Nineveh. But as to what you write to me about sending you the physician who works miracles and preaches another God superior to fire and water, that you may see and hear him, I say to you: he was not a physician according to the art of men; he was a disciple of the Son of God, Creator of fire and water: he has been appointed and sent to the countries of Armenia. But one of his principal companions, named Simon, is sent into the countries of Persia. Seek for him, and you will hear him, you as well as your father Ardach\u00e8s. He will heal all your diseases and will show you the way of life.\nAbgar's letter to Ardach\u00e8s\nAbgar wrote also to Ardach\u00e8s, king of the Persians, the following letter:\u2014\nAbgar, king of the Armenians, to Ardach\u00e8s my brother, king of the Persians, greeting:\u2014\nI know that you have heard of Jesus Christ the Son of God, whom the Jews have crucified, Jesus who was raised from the dead, and has sent His disciples through all the world to instruct men. One of His chief disciples, named Simon, is in your Majesty's territories. Seek for him, and you will find him, and he will cure you of all your maladies, and will show you the way of life, and you will believe in his words, you, and your brothers, and all those who willingly obey you. It is very pleasant to me to think that my relations in the flesh will be also my relations, my friends, in the spirit.\nAbgar had not yet received answers to these letters when he died, having reigned thirty-eight years.\nIX. Martyrdom of our apostles.\nAfter the death of Abgar, the kingdom of Armenia was divided between two: Ananoun, Abgar's son, reigned at Edessa, and his sister's son, Sanadroug, in Armenia. What took place in their time has been previously told by others: the apostle's arrival in Armenia, the conversion of Sanadroug and his apostasy for fear of the Armenian satraps, and the martyrdom of the apostle and his companions in the canton of Chavarchan, now called Ardaz, and the stone opening to receive the body of the apostle, and the removal of this body by his disciples, his burial in the plain, and the martyrdom of the king's daughter, Santoukhd, near the road, and the apparition of the remains of the two saints, and their removal to the rocks \u2014 all circumstances related by others, as we have said, a long time before us: we have not thought it important to repeat them here. In the same way also what is related of the martyrdom at Edessa of Att\u00e6us, a disciple of the apostle, a martyrdom ordered by Abgar's son, has been told by others before us.\nThe prince who reigned after the death of his father, did not inherit his father's virtues: he opened the temples of the idols, and embraced the religion of the heathen. He sent word to Att\u00e6us: Make me a head-dress of cloth interwoven with gold, like those you formerly used to make for my father. He received this answer from Att\u00e6us: My hands shall not make a head-dress for an unworthy prince, who does not worship Christ the living God.\nImmediately the king ordered one of his armed men to cut off Att\u00e6us' feet. The soldier went, and, seeing the holy man seated in the chair of the teacher, cut off his legs with his sword, and immediately the saint gave up the ghost. We mention this cursorily, as a fact related by others a long while ago. There came then into Armenia the Apostle Bartholomew, who suffered martyrdom among us in the town of Arepan. As to Simon, who was sent unto Persia, I cannot relate with certainty what he did, nor where he suffered martyrdom. It is said that one Simon, an apostle, was martyred at Veriospore. Is this true, or why did the saint come to this place? I do not know; I have only mentioned this circumstance that you may know I spare no pains to tell you all that is necessary.\nX. Reign of Sanadroug; murder of Abgar's children; the princess Helena.\nSanadroug, being on the throne, raises troops with the help of the brave Pacradouni and Ardzrouni, who had exalted him, and goes to wage war upon the children of Abgar, to make him self master of the whole kingdom. Whilst Sanadroug was occupied with these affairs, as if by an effect of divine providence vengeance was taken for the death of Att\u00e6us; for a marble column which the son of Abgar was having erected at Edessa, on the summit of his palace, while he was underneath to direct the work, escaped from the hands of the workmen, fell upon him and crushed his feet.\nImmediately there came a message from the inhabitants of the town, asking Sanadroug for a treaty by which he should engage not to disturb them in the exercise of the Christian religion, in consideration of which, they would give up the town and the king's treasures. Sanadroug promised, but in the end violated his oath. Sanadroug put all the children of the house of Abgar to the edge of the sword, with the exception of the daughters, whom he withdrew from the town to place them in the canton of Hachdiank. As to the first of Abgar's wives, named Helena, he sent her to his town at Kharan, and left to her the sovereignty of the whole of Mesopotamia, in remembrance of the benefits he had received from Abgar by Helena's means.\nHelena, pious like her husband Abgar, did not wish to live in the midst of idolaters; she went away to Jerusalem in the time of Claudius, during the famine which Agabus had predicted; with all her treasures she bought in Egypt an immense quantity of grain, which she distributed among the poor, a fact to which Josephus testifies. Helena's tomb, a truly remarkable one, is still to be seen before the gate of Jerusalem.\nXI. Restoration of the town of Medzpine; name of Sanadroug; his death.\nOf all Sanadroug's doings and actions, we judge none worthy of remembrance except the building of the town of Medzpine; for, this town having been shaken by an earthquake, Sanadroug pulled it down, rebuilt it more magnificently, and surrounded it with double walls and ramparts. Sanadroug caused to be erected in the middle of the town his statue holding in his hand a single piece of money, which signifies: All my treasures have been used in building the town, and no more than this single piece of money is left to me.\nBut why was this prince called Sanadroug? We will tell you: Because Abgar's sister, Ot\u00e6a, while travelling in Armenia in the winter, was assailed by a whirlwind of snow in the Gortouk mountains; the tempest separated them all, so that none of them knew where his companion had been driven. The prince's nurse, Sanod, sister of Piourad Pacradouni, wife of Khosran Ardzrouni, having taken the royal infant, for Sanadroug was still in the cradle, laid him upon her bosom, and remained with him under the snow three days and three nights. Legend has taken possession of this circumstance: it relates that an animal, a new species, wonderful, of great whiteness, sent by the gods, guarded the child. But so far as we have been informed, this is the fact: a white dog, which was among the men sent in search, found the child and his nurse; the prince was therefore called Sanadroug, a name taken from his nurse's name (and from the Armenian name, dourk, a gift), as if to signify the gift of Sanod.\nSanadroug, having ascended the throne in the twelfth year of Ardach\u00e8s, king of the Persians, and having lived thirty years, died as he was hunting, from an arrow which pierced his bowels, as if in punishment of the torments which he had made his holy daughter suffer. Gheroupna, son of the scribe Apchatar, collected all these facts, happening in the time of Abgar and Sanadroug, and placed them in the archives of Edessa.",

        "raw_content": "Low temperatures can cause a dog harm\nLet's face it, it's the dog days of winter.\nIt's so cold out there today, even my three hot dogs were cold.\nExtreme low temperatures can cause a dog\u2019s body temperature to fall, despite their fur. If sustained, low body temperature may lead to hypothermia and even become fatal.\nHere is www.petmd.com\u2019s take on what to watch for and what to do if you dog shows signs of distress:\nThe first sign of hypothermia is paleness and strong shivering. This may be followed by listlessness to the point of lethargy and frostbite of certain body parts such as the tail, tips of the ears, scrotum and foot pads.\nHypothermia can occur in any of the following situations:\n--Exposure to cold for a long time\n--Wet fur and skin\n--Submersion in cold water for long time\n--Shock\n--Anesthesia given for a long duration\n--Warm some blankets on a radiator or in the clothes dryer with haste.\n--Wrap the dog in the blankets.\n--Wrap a hot water bottle in a towel and place it against the dog\u2019s abdomen. Do not use it unwrapped, as this will burn the skin.\n--If the dog is conscious, give him warmed fluids to drink.\n--Check the dog\u2019s temperature every 10 minutes: if it is below 98\u00b0F (36.7\u00b0C), get immediate veterinary attention.\n--Once the temperature is above 100\u00b0F ( 37.8\u00b0C), you can remove the hot water bottle to avoid overheating. Keep the dog in a warm room.\nHypothermia can be prevented by avoiding prolonged exposure to cold temperatures. Factors that increase an animal\u2019s risk for hypothermia include very young or old age, low body fat, hypothyroidism, and anesthesia. Dog clothes, boots, and other accessories can help breeds with thinner fur and those less used to cold weather.\nLabels: hypothermia, petmd.com",

        "raw_content": "I've always been very honest and upfront about my struggles with mental health, I've talked about suffering with both depression and anxiety for the majority of my life and how adapting my lifestyle, changing my eating habits and becoming more active helped improve my mental health dramatically.\nI want to write this post to tell you those things weren't and aren't a miracle cure for any mental health issue, that I don't just have happy days full of smiles and laughter and that I do still suffer with both depression and anxiety. It would be wrong and irresponsible of me not to address the fact my mental health is still an ongoing battle, and although my lifestyle changes did help bring me out of a very deep and dark depression, helped boost my confidence and improved my relationship with my body, I do still struggle and I do still have very bad days. No mental health issue can be fixed over night and it's completely normal to have set backs, which I myself need reminding of sometimes. We put a lot of pressure on ourselves to be okay all the time, to be strong 24/7 and to carry on when sometimes we need time to be sad, we need time by ourselves and we need time to heal without any other added pressures.\nI'm talking about this now as the past few days I've experienced several panic attacks and very dark spells of depression that have really impacted my life. I was due to start a new job this week, which I was so excited about and really thought would be ideal for me to go alongside my blog/freelance work - it was part time and local so I wouldn't have to travel. Unfortunately I missed my first shift due to a depression breakdown that was completely terrifying, exhausting and traumatic. Somehow I made it in the next day (even though it was difficult), and you know what? My first day went okay, the job isn't my dream role but the people were lovely and the work area was nice. However, the following day when it was my second shift I suffered a bad panic attack in the morning, followed by dark feelings and a pain in my chest that I can't even begin to describe. I couldn't make it in.\nThe let-down, anger and frustrating I feel for myself is off the scale. Depression and anxiety often aren't logical and I can only put it down to trauma from the past and my brain associating starting this new job with that dark time. I wanted this job so badly and felt so proud when I got it! I was mostly excited about the prospect of saving up to move out, which won't be possible without that extra income. I was really excited for the future, I was making plans and I felt really proud of myself.\nNow I feel lost, hopeless and defeated. I'm lucky I have my growing business to work on which is thankfully bringing in some income, I have a huge passion for it and I'm getting more freelance jobs every day, but having something extra was so important to me. I wonder if this pressure - both from myself and others - was the a contributing factor towards my breakdowns?\nI feel like I've let a number of people down, and for that I'm sorry. I wish more than anything I could be stronger, that I wasn't a burden, that I could just get up and carry on and that I didn't cause such stress and hurt. I realise I need to get myself well again, and I'm going to use whatever energy I have left to do that.\nThis was a totally unplanned and unedited blog post. It's just a little reminder that I'm human. Sometimes things go wrong for me, sometimes I feel like giving up, sometimes I'm not okay.\nLabels: Advice, anxiety, depression, honesty, Lifestyle, mental health",

        "title": "Staybridge Suites Birmingham | Nutella Tasha",
        "raw_content": "I was lucky enough to be invited to stay at a new hotel, Staybridge Suites Birmingham, in the heart of Birmingham's City Centre. I was able to attend the launch of this hotel back in December and was intrigued to know what a stay here would be like, needless to say I got my wish.\nIt is located within Martineau Place which is now going through a development to restore it to its former glory. There used to be a Starbucks in Martineau Place but since that closed, it seems the place has just gone downhill. So it is nice to see a new development in this quiet part of town, that is often overlooked. The location allows you to get to everything within walking distance, this includes The Bullring, Birmingham New Street/Snow Hill/Moor St, Mailbox and Broad St. So the location is great for a night out stay or for a stopping visit to Birmingham. The entrance to the hotel is inviting and very sleek looking. At the moment there is a lot of streetworks going on but once you are inside, you do not notice this anymore.\nOnce you are inside, you take a lift up to 2nd floor, where the reception, gym, pantry, living room and laundry room are situated. You would think this would be really confusing but it is well signposted and its rare that you get lost.\nJust next to the reception is what they call The Living Room. It is the space that weekly social hours are held for the residents of the hotel and where you can just relax at any time or day. The staff at the hotel were very inviting and hospitable, asking if I needed an extra room key and making friendly chit chat; this definitely gave me a positive first impression to the hotel and made the fact I was soaked from the rain, alot easier to handle.\nThe hotel premise is to be more of an apartment than a hotel, so it is intended for long term stays. You can make this out when you see the rooms, especially with the addition of the kitchen which is fully stocked with utensils, cutlery, kitchen appliances, dishwasher, fridge, microwave, oven and dinnerware.\nThe room was unbelievably comfortable, I felt at home as soon as I arrived, so much so I didn't want to leave. The only problem I had was when I walked in, I could smell cannabis coming out of the air conditioning vent, I let the reception desk know and they said they would send someone to have a look or smell in this case but this wasn't solved; however I doubt it was something they could solve straightaway; smells linger. I was staying in a One Bedroom Studio Suite/Standard Room, which would normally be from 68 pounds but would change depending on when you booked. But that felt very reasonable considering the room and the amenities.\nThere was a TV, closet, hangers within the closet, safe, Iron, Ironing board, a desk and chair, a long length mirror, coffee table, various lamps around the room, air conditioning and bedside tables with lamps. They all worked well and were easy to use but if you did have difficulty, there was an instruction manual within a drawer.\nThe bathroom was spacious, had a vast amount of towels, nicely stored and had a high tech shower which was easy to use but the pressure was quite low and the temperature wouldn't get very warm but it was feasible.\nThe view from the room was really amazing, you could see the whole city and made Birmingham look picturesque.\nThe Hub Kitchen within the hotel was really big and is where the complimentary breakfast is served. There is coffee machine, spreads and toasters out on the Island. The breakfast was a little disappointing. There was toast, bland scrambled eggs, beans, bacon, a selection of fruit (some looked as if it was from a frozen selection) and yogurt. Not much of a selection and what they did have was very basic and not very appetising. The hotel excels in so many ways, this brought it down for me.\nThis room is the meant for reading and feels very tranquil. I didn't get to spend much time in this room but if I was staying longer, I would have definitely try it out because it looked very inviting.\nThe gym was decked out with everything you would need, had a water machine and towels ready to use. When I went, it was empty and made me want my own gym. The use of the gym is complementary which is amazing value in my eyes.\nLastly, The Laundry Room.\nIt had everything you would need and allows people who on long stays to feel at home. A really good addiction and it would come in handy however long you were staying because there are washers and dryers.\nOverall, I enjoyed my stay here and would love to stay again.\nFacilities - 5/5\nThank you to Sue and Chris for allowing me to stay.\n(My stay was complimentary but the review is 100% my opinion)\nNutella Tasha",

        "raw_content": "I love Grand Central and I am having a great time making my way through the eateries. The next one on the list is Tapas Revolution. Ever since my holiday to Barcelona, I have a newfound respect and love for the concept of tapas and could not wait to see how this restaurant would fare.\nWhen we arrived the restaurant was busy and had a long queue, most of which were offered a bar seat, which they took, but we were being picky and decided to wait. This worked in our favour, as we were able to get a booth. The service was great at the restaurant and this stood out, as soon as we arrived. And this was not because they knew I was doing a review, because they had no clue, so that put me in a good mood to know the service is like this for all.\nWe had a little trouble ordering, as most of what we wanted had sold out, but they were really good at recommending what we could have. The tapas menu for the main dishes is split into three sections - Meat, Fish and Vegetables. They don't have an allergen menu but the staff are knowledgeable of what each dish contains and it is made fresh, so it isn't hard to alter. We decided to go for Tortilla de Patatas, Pan con Tomate, Arroz Negro, Gambas al Ajillo and Pisto (last image).\nStarting with the Tortilla de Patatas (shown in the image above), aka a Spanish omelette with potato and onion. Tortilla Espanola was a dish that I fell in love with when I was in Barcelona so I when I saw that they had this dish on the menu at Tapas Revolution, I knew it was a must-taste dish. Although the dish was enjoyable, it was somewhat bland, no seasoning or salt, and not as flavoursome compared to the version we had in Barcelona. It was fun to try but I doubt I would have this one again as it just isn't as exciting. However, it was presented beautifully on a grey slate plate with alioli, which was also tasty.\nNext on the taste palette was the Pan con Tomate, which is a crusty bread with tomato and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. This, again, was a dish that we fell in love with in Barcelona, when I say we I mean me and my madre. I liked the chunky bread and the oil just softened it slightly. It was great with the Tortilla too and makes for a good starter or accompaniment to other tapas dishes.\nOf course Paella is a big deal in Spain and I love it, so when the waitress recommended this dish I went for it, It is the Arroz de Negro. This is a Paella-like dish that commonly features squid-ink. This particular one is described as \"black rice with prawns and squid, served with alioli\". I was surprised that it came with alioli, as it didn't add anything to the dish and I haven't seen it accompany such a dish before and it felt more like they were running low and wanted to fill the dish with the alioli to make it look full. This was nice but nothing special.\nThe Gambas al Ajillo, (shown in the image above) was my favourite dish of the lot, as it was full of flavour and the prawns were cooked to perfection . It is tiger prawns cooked in chilli oil and garlic, such a simple concept that was executed very well.\nLastly it is Pisto, which was another favourite that I would have again without hesitation. It was great with the bread and prawns. I particularly liked the tomato sauce that is used within this dish and there is a little heat within the peppers that adds a bit of depth that some veggie dishes lack.\nAll in all, my trip to Tapas Revolution was a mixed bag. I liked trying the different dishes, there is no other way to find out what you like, the service was ace and the location makes it great to people watch, definitely a place to add to my dine-alone list.\nSome good dishes, some ok dishes and some amazing dishes. All executed well and using fresh ingredients.\nMost of the menu is dairy-free and most of the time they are able to adapt anything that isn't, but please still check this.\nIt's in Grand Central, you know where that is by now, right?\nIt cost \u00a322 for 4 dishes, which was enough to fill me up.\nA tad on the expensive side but most of these dishes are worth it.",

        "raw_content": "Erica Berg \u2013 Welty Building Company Diversity\nAs an HR professional, Erica Berg has been involved with inclusion and diversity throughout her career. Now, as Diversity Coordinator for the Welty Building Company, she works to ensure that minorities, women, veterans and small, local businesses are included on the source lists for solicitations for products and services they are capable of providing to the many construction projects Welty manages throughout Central and Northeast Ohio.\nPrior to joining Welty, Berg worked for Testa Companies and became versed in the unique needs and opportunities of construction HR. With Welty, she is responsible for promoting company-wide policy initiatives that demonstrate Welty\u2019s commitment to awarding subcontracts to qualified local, small, minority-owned, women-owned and veteran-owned businesses.\nSpecifically, she focuses on reaching diversity goals of 8.5% minority hires set by Welty client, FirstEnergy, on its construction projects. However, Welty goes above and beyond, promoting diversity by pushing for higher and higher inclusion rates. When asked to what she attributes her and Welty\u2019s success in this area, Berg replied, \u201cCommunication and teamwork.\u201d\nA key factor in Welty\u2019s success has been hosting outreach events that allow interested parties to meet subcontractors and learn more about projects in which they and their company may get involved. \u201cIt\u2019s about finding and creating opportunities for people,\u201d says Berg. \u201cThe minority businesses I work with aren\u2019t looking for handouts, nor do they want to take on projects that don\u2019t match up with their abilities. They are interested in providing quality work and contributing real value to projects.\u201d\nWith the help of OhioMBE, a Welty outreach event for the Pro Football Hall of Fame\u2019s Johnson Controls Hall of Fame Village project attracted 150 people. Though a smaller project, the outreach event for the reconstruction of the Cleveland Athletic Club facility brought in 50 interested attendees. Not only do these events allow Welty to meet and recruit qualified and diverse hires, but they also help create relationships with internal teams.\nSays Welty President and CEO Don Taylor: \u201cWe\u2019ve always been committed to diversity, but Erica has turned our commitment into real results by enhancing our relationships with minority businesses, helping us package bids that are better suited to their strengths and assisting them in understanding how to work with us to achieve our goals and theirs.\u201d\nErica received her Master of Arts (MA) in Human Resources Management and Services from Walden University in 2015. She also has a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Mass Communication and Public Relations/Image Management from the University of Akron (2010).\n\u2190 ECDI Welcomes Danielle Sydnor as Executive Director of Northern Ohio\nWomen\u2019s History Monday Day 25 \u2013 Zora Neale Hurston \u2192",

California\u2019s Marine Life Management Act (MLMA, 1998) specifies socioeconomic as well as ecological goals and objectives for management of the state\u2019s fisheries. The MLMA also emphasizes the cultural as well as the economic importance of sustainable fisheries and the broader social, economic and historical value of the state\u2019s living marine resources. Sustainable fisheries management must consider not only a given species\u2019 population size, reproduction rate, and other intrinsic characteristics but also its extrinsic relationships with other species, as well as human dimensions such as fishermen preferences, behavior, and fishing practices.\nThis project will result in a report that provides 1) guidance on the socioeconomic questions and information needs that are most important for fishery managers to address, and 2) a framework for building that information and integrating it into management, specifically the MLMA Master Plan Amendment. This project will be advanced in coordination with UC Santa Cruz and California Sea Grant, and builds of phase 1 of the project which was funded by Resources Legacy Fund. The report will contain fishery management examples that highlight the need for diverse types of socioeconomic information to support management decision-making and guidance to meet this need for socioeconomic information. Ultimately, the report will provide recommendations for how to incorporate socioeconomic considerations into state fisheries management.\nTimeline: October 2016- September 2018\nGrantee: University of California Santa Cruz\nPrincipal Investigator: Carrie Pomeroy\nPhoto: \u201cRise and Shine\u201d by Carol Ewers\nCalifornia\u2019s Marine Life Management Act (MLMA, 1998) specifies socioeconomic as well as ecological goals and objectives for management of the state\u2019s fisheries (MLMA Section 7056(i-j).

        "raw_content": "Investing in American Gold Eagle\nGold coins are a treasure. Many invest in gold coins not only for their gold content but also for their historical value. But one may not engage in this venture without sufficient knowledge about the bullion market.\nTypes of Gold Coins\nGold coins are mass produced. They are also universally recognized because coin manufacturers worldwide use the same standard for their minting, storage, and distribution, therefore are easy to trade. Different types of gold coins also have different prices, purity, and weight. They also have unique applications. Below are coins bought and sold in the bullion market:\nThese are coins minted in the United States after 1933. These consist of 91.67% gold, and 8.33% alloy of copper and silver. Each coin may carry a face value of $5, $10, $25, or $50. However, the market value of this type of coin is based on its gold content. When pricing an eagle coin, the face value is not important. Do you want to learn more? Visit american gold eagle.\nAlso referred to as the American buffalo, is the first ever gold coin minted for the public by the US government. It is a 24-carat bullion coin, and has a design similar to an Indian Head nickel. It may have a face value of $50, but it can cost as much as $2,000.\nThe Krugerrand gold coin was first created in 1967 by the South African Mint for the general public. It consists of 91.75% of gold, and is made durable than its 24 carat counterparts. The coin is named after Paul Kruger, the first Boer president of the South African Republic.\nThe Islamic Dinar was first used in 2006 in Malaysia as a form of currency amongst trading partners in the Islamic world. It is intended to reduce dependence of Islamic countries to US dollar for international expenditures. It is also used as payment for dowries.\nThe Maple Leaf is the official bullion gold of Canada. This coin is mined solely in Canada, and is one of purest in the world. Introduced in 1979, the Gold Maple Leaf has a legal tender status in Canada for their face values $1, $5, $10, $20, and $50.\nWhy Invest in Gold Coins?\nGold coins are good for buy and sell. You can buy them when the price is low, and then resell when the price goes up. If you want to invest in these metal coins, you need to understand how the gold spot chart works. On the other hand, if you are more interested in collectible coins, you should learn about the popular designs, and the trend of their prices. These coins can be melted to create new items. These can be made into jewelries, dental fillings and crowns, and other appliances. It is estimated that out of the total supply of gold in the world, approximately 60% is used for making jewelries, and about 20% for industrial applications. Almost all modern gadgets have gold as their component.\nPosted by Kertane Tom on Dec 20, 2018 in Business | Comments Off on Investing in American Gold Eagle",

        "raw_content": "Snapchat post caused school district closure; Carbondale teen enters plea\nLYNDON, Kan. \u2013 Just 15 words, two sentences, possibly a joke, posted on a popular social media network caused the entire Santa Fe Trail school district to close for the day on April 20, 2017, and resulted in a charge of criminal threat being brought against a 15-year-old Santa Fe Trail High School student.\nDevin M. Culbertson, 15, of Carbondale, appeared in Osage County District Court today and entered a plea of no contest to a reduced charge of felony criminal threat.\nCulbertson was originally charged with aggravated criminal threat in a May 4, 2017, criminal complaint. His attorney, Jack Hobbs, told the court the charge had been amended as result of plea negotiations with Osage County Attorney Brandon Jones.\nIn a press release about the arrest of Culbertson on the evening of April 19, Osage County Sheriff Laurie Dunn said the threat that caused the closure of the school was made verbally. \u201cThis was a verbal threat, no weapons or explosives were involved,\u201d the sheriff said in the release.\nAn arrest affidavit filed by Osage County Sheriff Deputy Derrick Feliciano said that SFTHS Principal Patrick Graham notified him around 6 p.m. April 19, 2017, of a post on Snapchat he had received anonymously from a concerned parent.\nAccording to Feliciano, Culbertson said in the Snapchat post, \u201c[redacted] and [redacted] just dared me to columbine this place. Don\u2019t come to school tomorrow.\u201d\nThe deputy reported the statement was followed by four emoji smiley faces.\nFeliciano also noted in his report that the next day, April 20, was the anniversary of the Columbine school shootings that happened in 1999 in Colorado.\nThe deputy reported he contacted Dunn, who instructed him to send another deputy to the home of the two female students identified in Culbertson\u2019s post. Feliciano said he then went to Culbertson\u2019s home in Carbondale, where he arrested him.\nFeliciano reported Culbertson immediately said, \u201cThis is about what I said on Snapchat isn\u2019t it? I know I shouldn\u2019t have made that joke.\u201d\nFeliciano said Culbertson admitted to him he had sent the post to a small group of students.\n\u201cIt is unknown if those five students sent it to anyone else,\u201d Feliciano said. \u201cAt this time no other student was suspected to be involved.\u201d\nFeliciano reported that after the arrest, he contacted USD 434 Superintendent Steve Pegram, who advised he had been in contact with several school board members concerned about having school the next day.\n\u201cUltimately, Dr. Pegram and the school board made a decision to cancel school for the entire district for Thursday, April 20, 2017,\u201d Feliciano reported.\nToday, making a statement of facts supporting the charge, Jones noted that the perceived threat and resulting shutdown of the school district for a day caused a disruption in the lives of many people.\n\u201cDevin Culbertson Snapchatted something to the effect of what he was going to do at school the next day,\u201d Jones said. \u201cThe school closed. Many people didn\u2019t get paid. All because this was perceived as a threat.\u201d\nThe attorneys noted that as part of the plea agreement, the state would recommend a sentence of community service, including 100 hours of service at Santa Fe Trail High School if it could be worked out with the school\u2019s administration.\n\u201cMy hope is he can get into the school to do community service to show them he\u2019s truly sorry,\u201d Hobbs said. The attorney said his client was also hoping the school would consider his community service and possibly reduce the term of his expulsion.\nOsage County Magistrate Judge Taylor Wine questioned Culbertson about where he was obtaining schooling, noting it was required by law that he attend school. The teen said he was taking online courses through Greenbush.\nWine reminded Culbertson that he was not required to sentence him according to the agreement made between attorneys, and Culbertson could still face probation and fines for the crime, depending on how the judge decides the sentence.\nAccording to the complaint, the act if committed by an adult would be a severity level 9 person felony, putting it into a presumptive probation of seven to nine months on the state\u2019s sentencing guidelines.\nWine questioned the attorneys about whether restitution was being considered as part of sentencing.\nJones explained that an agreement had not been reached on restitution, due in part because of difficulty in determining the financial loss for the one-day shutdown.\n\u201cA bunch of people didn\u2019t get paid for that day. They saw quite a bit of financial impact to employees of the school district,\u201d Jones said.\nHe said the attorneys would work out a recommendation on restitution before sentencing, which the judge set for 10 a.m. Oct. 26.\nThe amended complaint charged Culbertson with unlawfully and feloniously communicated a threat to commit violence with the intent to cause evacuation of a building, or made such a threat with reckless disregard of the risk of causing such evacuation.\nSee related article: Carbondale teen charged for threat that closed Santa Fe Trail schools",

        "raw_content": "Deak's Diary - The Second Sunday of Advent\nToday\u2019s readings (Isaiah 40:1-5, 9-11; Mark 1:1-8) seem totally focused on John the Baptist, yet it is hard to get excited about someone eating locusts and dressed in camel skins. However, there must be something there relating to each of us as well.\nSometimes we can get tangled up in small distracting details and miss the message. I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve heard the expression- can\u2019t see the woods for the trees! Why not try this three-step approach when listening to the Scripture texts. First, listen to the text itself and the message it brings. Then look at people in your personal history who have acted similarly to those in the gospel passage (especially John the Baptist); and finally, silently look within your heart and prayerfully listen to how God is calling you to respond to this gospel.\nNow, on to step two. Who in your past has been \u201cJohn the Baptist\u201d for you? Who has challenged you to change your ways, to seek forgiveness for your sins? Who has been your shepherd, leading you to Jesus? Notice the way this gospel starts out: \u201cThe beginning of the Good News.\u201d Who was it that brought you the Good News about Jesus Christ, your Redeemer? God chooses to work through human instruments. How many of you have ever expressed your gratitude to God for those who led you on the correct spiritual path?\nFinally, what is God calling you to do? Every gospel message has an ethical demand. All of us are called to respond by spreading the Good News. Who have you led to Jesus, or who have you told about how Jesus has blessed your personal life? Have you planted any seeds lately? It is a time for serious reflection, and perhaps remedial action.\nThe gospels were written by men who were among the first to have faith and wanted to share it with others (see CCC 515). Now, is time for each of us to reflect on whether we have continued this tradition, and whether each of us is seeking to pass on our faith to others?",

This was a very good result for Rosberg as he started the race fifteenth on the grid.\nThe last two points places went to former world champion Renault's Fernando Alonso and McLaren's Heikki Kovalainen.\nButton's lead at the top has now been reduced to just 21 points and if the Red Bull can continue with another one two then it will be reduced further.\nThe next race in a fortnight will be the Hungarian Grand Prix.",

Is it possible to commemorate the dead as well as celebrate the triumph of human spirit of survival? Such questions lingered in my mind for months as the hundredth anniversary of the Armenian Genocide on the 24th of April 2015 was approaching.

        "title": "Iran Braces For Full Force Of EU Oil Embargo",
        "raw_content": "Iran Braces For Full Force Of EU Oil Embargo\nJuly 1 figures to be a bad day for Iran -- that's when hard-hitting EU sanctions on Iran's oil exports take full effect. The sanctions targeting the country's economic lifeline are the EU's toughest measures to date concerning Iran's controversial nuclear activities. Economists believe they could slash Iran's oil revenues by half.\nOne of Iran's responses to the sanctions has been to rename many of its oil tankers and register them under other countries' flags.\nThe United States and other Western countries accuse Iran of secretly developing nuclear weapons, while Iran has insisted its nuclear program is purely civilian. The United States, which has imposed its own sanctions, and its allies are looking to deprive Iran of much-needed oil revenue in the hope of constraining Iran to scale back its contentious nuclear activities.\nThe EU sanctions, formally adopted in late January, bar members of the bloc from buying Iranian petrochemical products and crude oil, and from insuring vessels that carry those products.\nMany EU members, which accounted for about 20 percent of Iran's oil exports before the sanctions, beat the July 1 deadline by implementing cuts seen as a blow to Iran's already strained economy. Iran's crude-oil exports have fallen by 40 percent this year, according to the International Energy Agency.\n\"A lot of these countries have already started to back out and essentially completed the backing out of that crude. So that's around 600,000 barrels a day,\" says Jamie Webster, a senior manager of the Markets and Country Strategies Group at PFC Energy, a global consulting firm specializing in the oil and gas industry.\n\"Previously, before all of this latest rash of sanctions, Iran was exporting around 2.2 million barrels a day, so that is affecting them in terms of that customer.\"\nInsurance Ban\nRobin Mills, a Dubai-based energy economist and consultant, says the insurance sanctions on oil tankers are likely to hurt Iran further \"because that affects not only the EU, but it affects Asian nations such as Japan, South Korea, and so on.\"\nOn June 26, South Korea became Iran's first major Asian customer to announce a halt in imports from July 1 as a result of the EU insurance ban on tankers carrying Iranian oil.\nOther Asian countries, including Japan and China, have reportedly also cut their imports from Iran by 18 percent. About 20 countries, including China and Singapore, have been granted exemptions from U.S. sanctions because Washington was satisfied that they had reduced their crude purchases from Tehran.\nIranian petrochemical exports are expected to suffer a major drop. \u200b\u200b\nMills says the insurance sanctions could bring down Iranian oil exports by another 400,000 barrels per day. \"Of course at the same time oil prices, which were very high in March, have fallen back quite significantly so that's a kind of a double impact,\" he adds.\n\"So it could be that Iran's oil revenues which were perhaps something like $100 billion to $110 billion during the last Iranian year, in this year they could be down to $45 billion to $50 billion,\" Mills notes, \"so the oil revenues could be cut in half overall with the combination of lower exports and lower prices.\"\nTehran's Defiance Continues\nDespite the significant economic hit Iran is taking, the country's rulers have shown no appetite for compromise on their sensitive nuclear work.\nIn a June 28 letter to European Union foreign-policy chief Catherine Ashton, Iran's chief nuclear negotiator, Said Jalili, warned against \"unconstructive measures\" that could harm talks about the country's nuclear program. Iran and major world powers held nuclear negotiations in Moscow in early June that failed to result in any breakthrough in the deadlock over Tehran's nuclear work.\nAnalysts say high foreign-exchange reserves and oil revenues are likely to help the Iranian regime survive in the immediate future despite the tougher sanctions it's facing. In recent weeks Iran has also taken steps that could be intended to circumvent the sanctions, including renaming many of its oil tankers and registering them under other countries' flags.\nRelated Article: Iranian currency continues slide in value\nHowever, Iran has fewer and fewer options for countering the sanctions, Webster of PFC Energy says. \"It is a world-class leader in terms of smuggling or getting around sanctions. It's very, very good at that but that obviously has quite a cost on the amount of revenues that they can actually then bring home because of that additional cost.\"\nWebster adds that Iran is also trying \"especially in the oil sector,\" to build capacity and get projects \"going on their own.\" He notes that foreign assistance in such projects is dwindling with the added sanctions. \"The Chinese are still investing in Iran but they're taking their kind of normal strategy, which is, when dealing with these sorts of pariah states, they're just doing enough to keep their foot in the door and maintain a presence there but doing as little as they can so as not to rile the rest of the [international community].\"\nFor Iranian citizens who are already suffering from very high inflation and rising food prices, the new sanctions mean tougher days ahead, economists say. In a sign of growing frustration over rising prices, some Iranians last week reportedly protested by boycotting bread and milk for three days.",

        "raw_content": "Home News Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) approves change in ordination standard\nPresbyterian Church (U.S.A.) approves change in ordination standard\n\u2018Submission to the Lordship of Jesus Christ\u2019 replaces \u2018fidelity and chastity\u2019\nSharon Youngs - May 10, 2011\nWhile the Office of the General Assembly awaits official tallies, it appears that a majority of the 173 presbyteries of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) have approved a change in PC(USA) ordination standards.\nAt its meeting on Tuesday, May 10, 2011, the Presbytery of Twin Cities Area became the 87th presbytery to approve an amendment that will remove the constitutional requirement that all ministers, elders, and deacons live in \u201cfidelity within the covenant of marriage between a man and a woman or chastity in singleness\u201d (G-6.0106b in the church\u2019s Book of Order).\nThe new language reads, \u201cStandards for ordained service reflect the church\u2019s desire to submit joyfully to the Lordship of Jesus Christ in all aspects of life (G-1.0000). The governing body responsible for ordination and/or installation (G.14.0240; G-14.0450) shall examine each candidate\u2019s calling, gifts, preparation, and suitability for the responsibilities of office. The examination shall include, but not be limited to, a determination of the candidate\u2019s ability and commitment to fulfill all requirements as expressed in the constitutional questions for ordination and installation (W-4.4003). Governing bodies shall be guided by Scripture and the confessions in applying standards to individual candidates.\u201d\nThe new provision reaffirms the long-held right and responsibility of ordaining bodies (local church sessions for deacons and elders or presbyteries for ministers) to determine the suitability of each candidate for ordination. The effect of the new language also opens up the possibility that persons in same-gender relationships can be considered for ordination.\nThe 219th General Assembly (2010) of the PC(USA) approved Amendment 10-A last summer, but required a majority of presbyteries to ratify the provision for it to become part of the church\u2019s Constitution.\nThe change will take effect July 10, 2011, one year after the adjournment of last summer\u2019s assembly.\nIn response to the vote, denominational leaders issued a letter to all congregations of the PC(USA), calling the debate about ordination standards \u201ca Presbyterian family struggle.\u201d The letter goes on to say that Presbyterians have \u201csought to find that place where every congregation and every member, deacon, elder, and minister of the Word and Sacrament can share their gifts in ministry while, at the same time, the integrity of every congregation, member, deacon, elder, and minister is respected.\u201d\nAdditional resources are available at the Office of the General Assembly website, which include a \u201cfrequently asked questions\u201d document, liturgical resources, a video podcast by Gradye Parsons, Stated Clerk of the General Assembly, and Advisory Opinion #24 about the change to G-6.0106b.\nThe full text of the churchwide letter:\nMay grace, mercy, and peace be yours in abundance (Jude 1:2).\nThe debate about ordination standards has been a Presbyterian family struggle for much of the last three decades. We have sought to find that place where every congregation and every member, deacon, elder, and minister of the Word and Sacrament can share their gifts in ministry while, at the same time, the integrity of every congregation, member, deacon, elder, and minister is respected.\nThis year, the conversation has focused on Amendment 10-A that was passed by the 219th General Assembly (2010) and sent to presbyteries for approval. While we wait for official tallies, it appears that 87 presbyteries have approved 10-A, which is the majority required for approval.\nIf this becomes official, the new language outlining the gifts and requirements for ordained service will say the following:\nStandards for ordained service reflect the church\u2019s desire to submit joyfully to the Lordship of Jesus Christ in all aspects of life (G-1.0000). The governing body responsible for ordination and/or installation (G.14.0240; G-14.0450) shall examine each candidate\u2019s calling, gifts, preparation, and suitability for the responsibilities of office. The examination shall include, but not be limited to, a determination of the candidate\u2019s ability and commitment to fulfill all requirements as expressed in the constitutional questions for ordination and installation (W-4.4003). Governing bodies shall be guided by Scripture and the confessions in applying standards to individual candidates.\nThis decision begins with an unequivocal affirmation that ordained office will continue to be rooted in each deacon, elder, and minister\u2019s \u201cjoyful submission to the Lordship of Jesus Christ in all aspects of life.\u201d\nThis action also has important effects on our life together as a church, namely:\nin keeping with our historic principles of church order, each session and presbytery will continue to determine the suitability of individuals seeking ordination within its bounds.\npersons in a same-gender relationship may be considered for ordination and/or installation as deacons, elders, and ministers of the Word and Sacrament within the PC(USA); and\nall other churchwide standards for ordination remain unchanged.\nReactions to this change will span a wide spectrum. Some will rejoice, while others will weep. Those who rejoice will see the change as an action, long in coming, that makes the PC(USA) an inclusive church that recognizes and receives the gifts for ministry of all those who feel called to ordained office. Those who weep will consider this change one that compromises biblical authority and acquiesces to present culture. The feelings on both sides run deep.\nHowever, as Presbyterians, we believe that the only way we will find God\u2019s will for the church is by seeking it together \u2013 worshiping, praying, thinking, and serving alongside one another. We are neighbors and colleagues, friends and family. Most importantly, we are all children of God, saved and taught by Jesus Christ, and filled with the Holy Spirit.\nWe hold to the strong affirmation that all of us are bound together as the church through Jesus Christ our Lord. \u201cThere is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all and through all and in all,\u201d Paul wrote to the Ephesians (4:5-6).\nIt is Jesus Christ who calls individuals to ordained ministries, and all those who are called to ordained office continue to acknowledge Jesus as Lord of all and Head of the church. It is this same Jesus Christ who is the foundation of our faith and to whom we cling.\nNo doubt, there will be several news stories and other reports about this change in the days ahead.

        "raw_content": "'AN OPEN LETTER TO FERNANDO TORRES FROM A LIFE LONG CHELSEA FAN\nThis is an emotional open letter to Chelsea's misfiring \u00a350million striker Fernando Torres from a lifelong Blues fan Rik Sharma.\nThe bottomline is that Sharma categorically stated that most expensive player in British history doesn't have a future in Chelsea beyond the end of the season. This is the content of the letter.\nBefore you came to Chelsea, I never liked you.\nAs a striker, you were second to none. But you went to ground too often and too quickly, I thought you were too easily riled on the pitch. Prissy.\nBut I remember where I was when you signed for Chelsea. And I remember the excitement.\nIn the two days previous to you putting pen to paper, there had been strong rumours you would be swapping red for blue.\nAnd I was not overly enamoured with the prospect. But late, on January 31 2011, I remember watching Sky Sports News and frantically refreshing various sports news websites.\nAs we approached midnight, the deal was sealed. And I was thrilled. Genuinely thrilled.\nEverything about you that we didn't like didn't seem to matter any more, because here you were.\nA \u00a350million present from our glorious benefactor to Carlo Ancelotti, to Chelsea, and to the fans.\nFernando Torres! Lethal, at times untouchable.\nBut less than a week later, it all started to unravel.\nYou made your debut on February 6 and thanks to a quirk of fate, it was against Liverpool. The team that you loved and, I'm reliably informed, still do.\nSubstituted after 66 ineffective minutes, it was a sign of things to come. We weren't to know that yet.\nYes, you were roundly mocked because of your price tag, but everyone believed you'd be up and running soon enough.\nIt took 14 games and over 900 minutes of football, but, eventually, with the help of a conveniently placed puddle, you scored against West Ham.\nWe hoped it didn't crush any morsel of confidence you had gained from scoring, and when you netted again against Swansea in the next match, all was good.\nAll was good for about 10 minutes anyway, because after that you were sent off for a two footed lunge.\nTwo more goals followed against the mighty Genk on October 19, and then that was it.\nNot a peep from you until March 18, when you bagged two against the equally-mighty Leicester in the FA Cup.\nDuring which time Villas-Boas had been sacked, another ship stricken on the Fernando Torres rock, even though Roman had painstakingly drawn you on to the map.\nRoberto Di Matteo took the reins and he too failed to get the best of you but we had some fun along the way.\nWhatever you go on to do, or don't do, during the remainder of your time at Chelsea, you will never be forgotten for scoring in the Nou Camp.\nSure, the goal was technically irrelevant - we were going through anyway - but when you rounded Victor Valdes and rolled home, everything seemed possible.\nEvery day afterwards a new video emerged on YouTube of wilder and wilder celebrations in living rooms and pubs across the country, shot at the moment you sealed our place in the Champions League final.\nIn Munich you didn't have much to offer, but it didn't matter because Didier Drogba was signing off his Chelsea career the only way he knew how to. Ever the showman.\nBut even in the aftermath, instead of basking in the success, you spoke to Spanish media about your unhappiness at the club and not playing a bigger part in the victory.\nThe new season began with a buzz. Juan Mata, Oscar and Eden Hazard seemed the perfect players to get you back on the goal trail in the Premier League.\nAnd you seemed OK too - casually winning the Euro 2012 golden boot despite limited appearance time for Spain.\nDi Matteo couldn't make you tick though. You were scoring at a more impressive rate than normal, but it still wasn't enough.\nOut he went, and in came Rafael Benitez. A man despised by thousands of Chelsea supporters. Those were the lengths Abramovich went to in order to get you firing.\nAnd here we are. On your 100th game for the club you were booed off by Chelsea supporters who had previously supported you through thick and thin.\nYes, I understand that you didn't choose your price. What figure would you have put on yourself? Did you know, deep down, you were shot?\nThe club attributed your initial malaise to a lack of match fitness, but now it's obvious the problems lie a lot deeper.\nYou'll soon be 29. It's all downhill from here although I'm not sure how much further there is to go.\nYour only goal in the last 14 games was against League One Brentford. I'm not going to say 'you found your level' - but not because it's a lazy critique. Simply because even in that game you made no impact other than the moment you scored.\nSo where do you go from here? I think a return to Atletico Madrid could be good for you, because you're still a legend there.\nWhether they would take you is another matter.\nSome Liverpool supporters claim they'd take you back at Anfield. But they are having enough trouble languishing in mid-table without having to worry about you too.\nIt's difficult to see what the future holds. But what is clear is that beyond May 19 there is no future for you at Stamford Bridge.\nThis wasn't the way it was meant to be.\nRik Sharma (lifelong Chelsea fan)",

At that time, he listed assets and debts between $10 million and $50 million.\nWhile his enterprise enjoyed success when it first opened, even landing him an award in Aspen, but it was short-lived. By the end of that ski season that same year, he was forced to shut down both the restaurant and the bar. He was slapped with several liens and lawsuits for alleged non-payment of bills. In a public statement, he said that he had intentions of paying back his debts but was unable to since his funds were tied up with former investors.\nAre you facing Chapter 11 in Illinois?

        "raw_content": "The amount you have available for a down payment will affect what types of loans for which you can qualify. Down payments typically range from 3 to 20 percent of the sales price for the property.\nLook for ways to reduce your monthly expenditures to save toward a down-payment. You could enroll for an automatic savings plan at your bank to have a portion of your payroll automatically transferred into savings. Most people save a couple of years for their down payment.\nBorrow the down payment from your retirement plan\nCheck the provisions of your retirement plan. You can borrow funds from a 401(k) plan for a down payment or make a withdrawal from an Individual Retirement Account. Be sure you understand the tax consequences, repayment terms and/or possible early withdrawal penalties.\nYou may be able to save additional funds if you can move into less expensive housing.\nReduce other higher interest rate debt\nPaying off credit cards will initially reduce your savings, but the money you will save from higher interest rates will pay-off in the long run.\nMake a deal with the seller\nIn some circumstances, it is appropriate to ask the seller to carry a second-mortgage to cover your down payment. Typically, you will pay a slightly higher rate for this second mortgage.\nSkip a year's vacation\nGift from Family\nParents and other family members are often anxious to help children buy their first home and may have the means to give you a gift of money for a portion or all of your down payment.\nNo-down and low-down Mortgages\nThe Federal Housing Authority (FHA), which is part of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), plays a significant role in helping low- to moderate-income families qualify for mortgages. FHA assists first-time buyers and others who would not qualify for a conventional loan, by providing mortgage insurance to private lenders. Interest rates for an FHA loan are usually the going market rate, while the down payment requirements for an FHA loan are lower than conventional loans. The required down payment can be as low as 3 percent and the closing costs can be included in the mortgage amount.\nVA Loans are guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Service persons and veterans can qualify for a VA Loan, which usually offers a competitive fixed interest rate, no down payment and limited closing costs. While the VA does not issue the loans, it does issue a certificate of eligibility required to apply for a VA loan.\nA second mortgage that closes with the first. Often the first mortgage is for 80% of the purchase price and the \"piggyback\" is for 10%. The home buyer covers the remaining 10% with their down payment. (Some lenders will write a second mortgage of 15% or even 20% of the purchase price.)\n\"Carry Back\" Mortgage\nIn the case of the seller \"carrying back a second mortgage\", the seller loans you part of his or her equity. In this scenario, you would finance the majority of the loan with a traditional mortgage lender and finance the remaining amount with the seller. Typically you will pay a slightly higher interest rate on the loan financed by the seller.\nClick here for a list of Housing Finance Agencies.\nTake extra care to document the sources for any monies to be used for the down payment or closing costs.\nPhone: Cell: Fax: E-mail: zSGxE6tTM1bOQwSZqeaF/vzHPQ1fj9efbCYejnw/aBs=",

The name 'Tony Iommi' sends shivers down the spines of guitarists around the world. As lead guitarist and songwriter of Black Sabbath, Tony Iommi is considered to be one of the most influential musicians of the past four decades and the inventor of heavy metal. From working class, Midlands roots, his unique playing style \u2013 a result of a disfiguring hand injury he suffered working in a sheet metal factory \u2013 created a dark and gothic sound unlike anything that had been heard before and which captured the mood of its time. Black Sabbath went on to become a superband, playing to massive audiences around the world and selling millions of records, and Iommi led the life of a rockstar to the fullest \u2013 with the scars from all the drug-fuelled nights of excess and wildness to show for it. \u201cIron Man\u201d is the exclusive account of the life and adventures of one of rock's greatest heroes.\nAfter a 7-year hiatus, Azazello is back with a new album. Titled \u201cTransformation\u201d, it is out now on the Russian label MALS Records.\nChickenfoot, featuring guitar hero Joe Satriani, frontman Sammy Hagar, former Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony and world renowned drummer Chad Smith, have confirmed multiple UK release dates and formats for their highly anticipated second album Chickenfoot III, the follow-up to 2009\u2019s award-winning eponymous debut album. The album will initially be released in the UK as an exclusive Limited Edition Fan Pack, and will coincide with the international album release date of Tuesday September 27th. Produced by Mike Fraser (AC/DC, Metallica), the album will come in specially designed 3D packaging. On Monday October 24th, Chickenfoot III will be released in the UK on CD, Deluxe Edition CD & DVD, and 12\" vinyl.\nThe Flying Ryan Brothers\nThe new CD by The Flying Ryan Brothers, titled \u201dUnder The Influence\u201d, has just been released on Grooveyard Records (a NY-based label that specializes in the work of virtuoso guitarists). William Kopecky played fretless bass on the entire CD.\nBlack Country Communion, the rock and roll band featuring bassist/vocalist Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple, Black Sabbath), blues rock guitarist/vocalist Joe Bonamassa, drummer Jason Bonham (Led Zeppelin), and keyboardist Derek Sherinian (Dream Theater), have confirmed the Monday October 24th UK and European release of their first ever live DVD & Blu-ray \u201cLive Over Europe\u201d . Released by Mascot records, the double live DVD was filmed with 14 HD cameras and 5.1 Surround Sound during the band\u2019s debut world tour in the summer of 2011. Recorded across three nights in the German cities of Hamburg, Munich and Berlin, the 18-song set includes tracks taken from both of BCC\u2019s albums \u2013 2010\u2019s eponymous debut, and 2011\u2019s follow-up album release \u201c2\u201d.\n(Brazil) / September 25, 2011\nImagery \u2013 \u201cThe Inner Journey\u201d\n\u201cThe Inner Journey\u201d, Imagery's debut album, will be issued in November. The CD is made up of the tracks from the band's praised demo and from the singles released last year.\nAfter \u2013 \u201cNo Attachments\"\n\"No Attachments\" is the third studio album by the Polish progressive rock band After. It will be out on the 21st of November in Europe and on the 6th of December in the US. The band After was formed in 2002 in Wloclawek. In November 2005, they released their debut album \"Endless Lunatic\", featuring guest appearances by Colin Bass (Camel), Jozef Skrzek (SBB) and Jacek Zasada (Quidam). To promote the album, the band played several concerts in Poland and Western Europe, sharing the stage, among others, with Fish, Quidam, Riverside, and Sylvan. The year 2008 marked a number of successes: in April, After embarked on a tour with the British band Galahad and performed at the 3rd edition of Art-Rock Festival in Poznan (together with Galahad, Antimatter and Mangrove); in June, they played at the German Art-Rock festival in Reichenbach (together with Pallas, Spock's Beard, Mostly Autumn and Blind Ego). Also in June, that same year, their second studio album \"Hideout\" was released. The new album was very well received both in Poland and abroad - soon after the release it became one of the best-selling albums of the biggest German independent distribution company Just for Kicks Music; it also became the album of the month (December 2008) of the Brazilian web site Progressive Rock & Progressive Metal. In 2009, After went on tour together with Quidam (Poland, Czech Republic, Germany and Holand). The same year, the band played at the Crescendo festival in France and InoRock festival in Inowroclaw (together with Steve Hackett Band, Nosound and Indukti). In 2010, keyboard player Tomek Wisniewki parted ways with the band and, with the line-up consisting of 5 musicians, After started working on their next album. In January 2011, their first live album \"Live at Home\" was released. The third studio album \"No Attachments\" marks the beginning of a new exciting era in the band's career. Not only will it be released by Metal Mind Productions, but it is also being produced in cooperation with the musicians of acclaimed British act The Pineapple Thief.\nHaving released the album of his latest project Travellers, Wojtek Szadkowski allows himself no rest. Instead, he keeps working on the first Strawberry Fields DVD as well as on that same project's new studio material. \u201cLive Strawberry Fields\u201d DVD was recorded on the 20th of April 2011, at Silesian Theatre in Katowice, Poland, were the band presented to their audience their very own, unique, subtly simple, magic and, at times, trip-hop-like brand of prog music, crowned with Robin\u2019s \u2013 the band\u2019s lead singer\u2019s \u2013 mesmerizing, sensual voice. Szadkowski and Robin were accompanied on stage by the former\u2019s fellow musicians from the band Satellite \u2013 Sarhan Kubeisi (guitars), Jarek Michalski (bass), Krzysztof Palczewski (keys) and the band\u2019s new guitarist Micha? Kirmuc. Together they presented their fans with a musical feast by performing songs from Strawberry Fields\u2019 debut album \u201cRivers Gone Dry\u201d as well as one previously unreleased song \u2013 \u201cProblem\u201d . Also, the band surprised the audience by playing new versions of two memorable songs from Satellite\u2019s repertoire \u2013 \u201cDon\u2019t Walk Away in Silence\u201d and \u201cIs It Over\u201d \u2013 as also a classic Collage song \u201cLiving in the Moonlight\u201d. \u201cLive Strawberry Fields\u201d DVD perfectly captures the magic of that exceptional evening. The release date of \u201cLive Strawberry Fields\u201d DVD is scheduled for October, 17th in Europe and November, 22nd in USA (via MVD).\nSao Paulo Underground \u2013 \u201cTres Cabe?as Loucuras\u201d (Jazz World Music)\nThe Claudia Quintet +1 \u2013 \u201cWhat Is the Beautiful\u201d (Jazz)\nDead Cat Bounce \u2013 \u201cChance Episodes\u201d (Jazz)\nBlixt \u2013 \u201cBlixt\u201d (Jazz)\nMats/Morgan Band \u2013 \u201cLive\u201d (Jazz Fusion)\nSao Paulo Underground \u2013 \u201cTres Cabe?as Loucuras\u201d\nThe Sao Paulo Underground sound dares you to define it, knowing that even when - not if - you fail to do so, you\u2019ll still be so deliriously immersed in the group\u2019s dizzying swirl of styles that you\u2019ll simply be happy to surrender to its unnamable charms. Along the way, you\u2019ll reach for such sonic signifiers as \u201cjazz,\u201d \u201cBrazilian music,\u201d \u201cavant-garde,\u201d and \u201celectro-acoustic\u201d in an attempt to tag Tres Cabe?as Loucuras, the ensemble\u2019s third album and first for Cuneiform. Sure, when American cornetist Rob Mazurek gets together with his Brazilian buddies Guilherme Granado (keyboards, electronics), Mauricio Takara (drums, percussion, cavaquinho, electronics) and \u201cfourth member\u201d Richard Ribeiro (drums), all of the aforementioned flavors are on the musical menu, but ultimately, it\u2019s best to just term the end result a kind of joyful \u201cchef\u2019s surprise\u201d that gleefully upends expectations. Mazurek, a fearlessly forward-looking musician, has been battering down the borders between musical genres since the \u201890s, recording with everyone from Stereolab to Tortoise, and leading Isotope 217, the Chicago Underground collective, and the Exploding Star Orchestra, among other things. But it was only after his move to Brazil in 2000 that Mazurek began to follow the path that would lead to the formation of the Sao Paulo Underground. The journey began in earnest when the cornetist/composer found a kindred spirit in Mauricio Takara, and they released the first SPU album, 2006\u2019s Sauna: Um, Dois, Tres, together as a duo. After adding Guilherme Granado and Richard Ribeiro into the equation, an expanded Underground unleashed Principle of Intrusive Relationships two years later. But in the creation of Tres Cabe?as Loucuras (Portuguese for \u201cthree crazy heads\u201d), the group pushed towards an even more expansive approach. Mazurek\u2019s jazz-schooled cornet skills come to the fore on the album, with a fiery force that echoes everything from the frenetic, freewheeling fusion of Bitches Brew-era Miles Davis to bop masters like Art Farmer (with whom Mazurek has studied), but he claims avant-jazz trumpet legend Bill Dixon as his main inspiration, declaring \u201cHis absoluteness is a constant feed.\u201d When Mazurek\u2019s hard-driving hailstorm of cornet lines collides with the polyrhythmic percussion and electronic textures of his Brazilian compatriots, a new paradigm is created, where Brazilian grooves, ambient atmospheres, and post-bop harmonic leaps come together for a vital, vibrant feel. In making Tres Cabe?as Loucuras, the Undergrounders didn\u2019t close the door to the outside world, either \u2013 along the way, contributions from bassist Matthew Lux (Iron and Wine), vibraphonist Jason Adasiewicz (Exploding Star Orchestra, and Jason Adasiewicz\u2019s Rolldown, a jazz group that records for Cuneiform), Tortoise drummer John Herndon, and Brazilian guitarist Kiko Dinucci (Paulistano) all add to the exhilarating experimentation and strangely spiritual glow of the proceedings.\nThe Claudia Quintet +1 \u2013 \u201cWhat Is the Beautiful\u201d\n\u201cSoon it will/Be showtime again,\u201d recites Kurt Elling at the outset of the Claudia Quintet\u2019s sixth CD, What Is the Beautiful? \u201cSomebody will paint beautiful faces all over the sky.\u201d The sentiment expressed by those lines, penned by poet/visual artist Kenneth Patchen (1911-1972), captures something of the anticipation proffered by the release of a new Claudia album. Bandleader/percussionist John Hollenbeck\u2019s evocative, richly luminescent compositions definitely possess the suggestive power to encourage listeners to look heavenward, searching for those faces in the sky. Most of the material on What Is the Beautiful? was commissioned by the University of Rochester for its 100th birthday celebration of Patchen in 2011. Patchen \u201chas a wide palette, which I like,\u201d Hollenbeck says. Hollenbeck immediately thought of singer Kurt Elling to give voice to these poems \u2013 wholly unaware that Elling is something of a Patchen aficionado. \u201cKurt is a scholar with this stuff,\u201d Hollenbeck says. \u201cHe knew Patchen and knew exactly what to do. He\u2019s amazing.\u201d Elling inhabits these poems as an actor would a role. Surprisingly, Hollenbeck discovered that engineer Andy Taub was also a Patchen fanatic, with his own collection of the poet\u2019s works. Hollenbeck recalls: \u201cMore than your average engineer, he was really involved in the creative process. Vocalist Theo Bleckmann, probably Hollenbeck\u2019s most frequent collaborator, was also enlisted to lend a dreamier, more song-like atmosphere to several of the poems. Two of the session\u2019s three instrumental tracks were commissioned by the Edinburgh Jazz and Blues Festival and inspired by the Scottish island of Islay, renowned for its wintering geese. As on their previous CD, Royal Toast, the Claudia Quintet is again supplemented by a +1, in this case Philadelphia-based pianist Matt Mitchell. His virtuosity and spontaneity make him a perfect fit with the long-running core group \u2013 Hollenbeck on d rums, Drew Gress on bass, Matt Moran on vibraphone, Ted Reichman on accordion, and Chris Speed on clarinet and tenor sax.\nDead Cat Bounce \u2013 \u201cChance Episodes\u201d\nThe term dead cat bounce denotes a small, brief recovery in the price of a declining stock, but to composer and saxophonist Matt Steckler it means more; Dead Cat Bounce, both in name and as a group, evokes an artistic vision. \u201cIt signifies one\u2019s dedication to creative rebirth and renewal even as time, tradition, and masters move on,\u201d says the Boston-based Steckler, who founded DCB in 1997 to explore new sounds within the classic confines of jazz. Bolstered by bassist Dave Ambrosio and drummer Bill Carbone, DCB features an interactive and inventive frontline quartet of saxophonists: Steckler, Charlie Kohlhase, Terry Goss, and Jared Sims. Drawing inspiration from blues and funk, as well as Caribbean, Brazilian, and West African traditions, DCB\u2019s fourth studio album, Chance Episodes, presents a cosmopolitan and international sound, all in a stunning interpretation of Steckler\u2019s original arrangements. Chance Episodes is Dead Cat Bounce\u2019s first release on Cuneiform Records. Originally commissioned by Chamber Music America for its New Works Creation and Presentation program for jazz-oriented composer projects in 2003, and with the further support of American Music Center\u2019s Composer Assistance Program, the music that evolved into the album Chance Episodes reflects, in Steckler\u2019s words, \u201cmemory\u2019s haphazard way of bringing to the fore seemingly unrelated events, so that an episodic personal narrative is created, as if \u2018by chance.\u2019 Chance Episodes is awash in the voices of the past, but synthesizes them into a dynamic voice of its own. Fundamentally, it asks the listener to appreciate the foundations and history of jazz, but simultaneously embrace all that is new. Steckler, himself, defines the ideal listener and frame of mind for Chance Episodes, imploring listeners to experience the album \u201cfree from distraction and with an ear toward positive experience and renewal.\u201d\nBlixt \u2013 \u201cBlixt\u201d\nIf the British power trio Cream was the first guitar-led supergroup, Blixt is a 2011 aftershock. Five decades on, the sound is heavier and darker, the mix of ingredients more transgressive, the origins of the musicians more global, and the harmonic and rhythmic palettes more complex. But at the core of both Cream and Blixt is an unholy marriage of rock and jazz, riffs and improv, the viscera and the cerebrum. And both bands, at their most confrontational, can peel the ears clean off your head. Blixt is bassist Bill Laswell, Swedish drummer Morgan ?gren, and guitarist Raoul Bj?rkenheim, the group\u2019s initiator. The trio first got in the same room in September, 2010. \u201cWe played a gig in NYC at the Bowery Poetry Club,\u201d says Bj?rkenheim, \u201cand then we spent two days recording in Bill\u2019s studio. Morgan had paid me a visit in Helsinki the previous summer, when we talked about the material, and I reciprocated with a visit to Stockholm. That time, we recorded some jams, and out of those we extracted some of the main material for the CD. In the studio, Bill came up with his own parts, so although some of the riffs were pre-composed, the session was essentially an improvisational cooperation between the three of us. The two days he had for this first disc didn\u2019t allow us a lot of time to polish things up, so it\u2019s quite a raw and roaring proposition. ... Bill and Bob Musso mixed it, so there was some post-production involved, but a bare minimum.\u201d Blixt is, indeed, a raw and roaring piece of work. The most intense tracks kick off at levels with which most bands climax a jam \u2013 and keep on lacerating. \u201cBlack Whole,\u201d \u201cMoon Tune\u201d and \u201cTools,\u201d the pieces which start the disc, are full frontal assaults from the get go. But there is shelter and cooler heat on the disc too, and Bj?rkenheim\u2019s gift for novel sonorities is not confined to high decibel, shamanistic pyrotechnics. For close on thirty years, Bj?rkenheim and Laswell have been rattling the cage of normality, and shoulder to shoulder with ?gren, they break the bars and let the spirits soar.\nMats/Morgan Band \u2013 \u201cLive\u201d\nAs much as we all love recordings, the experience of LIVE music is what separates the wheat from the chaff, the Rodney Dangerfields from the Tom Greens. While touring Sweden, Frank Zappa\u2014one of progressive music\u2019s prime movers from the mid-1960s until his death in 1993 and one of the most exacting bandleaders EVER\u2014was SO taken with the acumen and energy of acolytes Mats ?berg and Morgan ?gren in performance that he asked them to play with his band! Cuneiform Records founder Steve Feigenbaum, whose Wayside imprint distributed discs by Mats/Morgan Band in the US, caught them live in Paris (with members of Magma in the audience too!) and was so impressed he caught up with them backstage and asked them to be on his label. The proof\u2019s in the pudding: Live is that rare CD that encapsulates a band at the peak of their powers, with dazzling creativity and immediacy in full flower. Live was remastered for this Cuneiform reissue. Swedish musicians Mats ?berg (keyboards) and Morgan ?gren (drums) remain one of the longest-running bands (30 years!) in the sometimes-overlapping spheres of fusion jazz and progressive rock. The Mats/Morgan Band has released nine albums and played countless concerts and music festivals. The album\u2019s one-word title \u2013 Live \u2013 is as potent as a single-malt whiskey. Mats/Morgan is first and foremost a live band, and this is one of their most powerful recordings to date. The band\u2019s lineup here is one of its best, featuring Morgan on drums, Jimmy Agren on guitar, Tommy Thordsson on bass, and an arsenal of three keyboardists: Mats, Eric Carlsson, and Robert Elovsson. Recorded June 1999 at Club Fasching in Stockholm and first released on their Ultimate Audio Entertainment imprint in 2001, Live bristles with the burning, confident energy of a band at the peak of their powers, relishing the joy of exacting yet passionate music-making. Fans of old and new progressive rock, math-rock, jazz-rock fusion, funky fusion, post-rock and the Rock In Opposition (RIO) axis of bands\u2014you\u2019ve got one band of Swedes to unite you: the Mats/Morgan Band.\nSlivovitz \u2013 \u201cBani Ahead\u201d\nOn \u201cBani Ahead\u201d, Slivovitz\u2019s delectable instrumental casserole of violin, woodwinds, brass, harmonica, electric guitar, and potent rhythm section exhibits such finely-calibrated ensemble playing that the players sound like a single organism, whether executing dizzying unison passages, engaging in ingenious dovetailing melodic counterpoint, or supporting an impassioned solo. There\u2019s more richness of detail here than on any ten albums by the latest vaunted \u2018neo-prog\u2019 bands, with a wholly refreshing lack of attitude or affect. Slivovitz\u2019s music has been likened to that of the great Frank Zappa and at times recalls the rarefied chamber-rock of RIO artists such as Henry Cow. From the opener \u201cEgiziaca\u201d with its odd-metered Balkan-flavored melodic figures juxtaposed against gritty overdriven guitar, to the serpentine ensemble passages of \u201cCleopatra Through,\u201d to the brooding, enigmatic \u201cOpus Focus,\u201d \u201cBani Ahead\u201d represents a new benchmark for a band quickly cementing their reputation as one of Europe\u2019s upcoming purveyors of progressive instrumental music of any kind.\nSithonia \u2013 \u201cLa Soluzione Semplice\u201d\nSithonia has existed since the end of the \u201880s. \u201cLa Soluzione Semplice\u201d is the band\u2019s sixth album.",

Manchester City Council is working with the University of Manchester and the city\u2019s Metropolitan University to try to end the problem of piles of rubbish being left outside properties when they are vacated.\nThe city has one of the biggest student populations in Europe and the council estimates that 7,000 properties will be covered by the campaign. Students living in relevant areas will be given bags for old clothes, sheets and shoes, as well as reusable materials. The materials will go to charities such as Oxfam, the Mustard Tree or the Fallowfield-based Wesley Community Furniture Project.\nThe council has set up a text messaging system and e-mail address so students who leave materials outside for collection can notify the authority. They then get entered into a draw to win prizes including a year-long bus pass. The new campaign follows a scheme last year, in which extra collections were organised for student halls of residence.\nNigel Murphy, the council\u2019s Assistant Executive Member for the Environment, said:\u201dManchester has the biggest student population in Europe and we\u2019re very lucky to have them here, but we also need to make sure the city\u2019s permanent residents face as little disruption as possible when thousands of students leave their homes at the end of the summer term.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "There are some films you know you can just put on and they will brighten up your day, this is that film for me.\nI first saw this film at a young age and whilst it didn't scare me it still left me feeling uncomfortable for some reason, I didn't watch it again for many years until once again it came onto my radar and I had the pleasure of rewatching it.\nWhen I first saw the film I had no idea how special it was to see Vincent Price and Peter Cushing in the same film along with Robert Quarry and Linda Hayden as well. It's truly magical to see them all on screen together, even now.\nThe film has somewhat of a tarnished reputation, sure the stars were aging and yes in all honesty it could've had a better script but in my opinion it just clicks. Let's be honest, Vincent Price can make anything work.\nSure the film hasn't aged well but it still has so much charm to it that it's hard not to enjoy it. I know this may sound biased but any film that stars the iconic Vincent Price always gets my attention, always.\n\"Madhouse\" is a fun film, sure it's quite cheesy now but it's still so entertaining.\nIf you want to see the \"Madhouse\" trailer then just click on the video below:\nDuring the costume party, Robert Quarry is dressed in his outfit from the film \"Count Yorga, Vampire\" (in which he played the title role).\nFinal film Price made for AIP after a collaboration that began 14 years earlier with \"House of Usher.\"\nPeter Cushing dresses as Dracula, an in-joke reference: he frequently played Van Helsing in Hammer's Dracula series.\nDuring the last scene and over the closing credits, it is Vincent Price whose singing voice we hear.\nThe Dr. Death movie clip played at the beginning of Madhouse is from the end of The Haunted Palace (1963). The voices have been dubbed to fit with Dr. Death.\nThe title credits include special participation by Basil Rathbone and Boris Karloff. Both men were deceased, having died in the late 60s. However, they appear in clips from real films they acted in with Vincent Price: Rathbone in Tales of Terror and Karloff in The Raven.\nThe title has very little to do with the film. There is a brief scene in a mental institution; and we learn in some expository dialogue that the main character spent time there. Otherwise, the \"madhouse\" of the title is irrelevant.\nThe film scenes shown at the costume party at Olivers house as a tribute to Paul (played by Vincent Price) is an actual Vincent Price film, The Pit and the Pendulum.",

        "title": "Story of MI5 Double Agent ZIGZAG from Criminal to MI5",
        "raw_content": "Story of MI5 Double Agent ZIGZAG from Criminal to MI5\nEddie Chapman (Agent ZIGZAG)\nEddie Chapman was a professional criminal in the years before the Second World War. He was a member of a \"jelly gang\", which specialized in robbing safes by blowing them open using the explosive gelignite.\nHis skill as a thief made him a good deal of money and allowed him to live the life of a wealthy playboy in Soho, mixing with the likes of Noel Coward, Ivor Novello and Marlene Dietrich.\nBy the start of 1939, however, he was being hunted by the police and fled to Jersey. He was caught by the Jersey police in February 1939 after burgling a nightclub and was sentenced to two years' imprisonment, with an extra year being added on after an attempted escape in September 1939.\nHe remained in prison even after the Germans invaded and occupied the Channel Islands in July 1940, and was finally released in October 1941.\nFrom German agent to double agent \u2013\nLife on the occupied Channel Islands was harsh, and Chapman sought a way to return to Britain. He volunteered his services to the Germans as a spy and was eventually accepted by the German secret service, the Abwehr.\nThe Abwehr was in a desperate position; it was getting only very low-quality intelligence out of Britain from its network of spies there. (In fact, though the Abwehr was unaware of this, MI5 had already caught almost all of the German spies in the UK and recruited several of them as double agents.)\nThe Abwehr saw Chapman as an ideal candidate for a spy. He claimed to be hostile to the British state, not least because he was still wanted by the police for his crimes on the UK mainland. His connections with the criminal underworld offered the possibility that he could recruit additional agents for the Germans, and his expertise with explosives would enable him to carry out acts of sabotage. In particular, the Germans wanted him to attack the De Havilland aircraft factory in Hertfordshire, which made the much-feared Mosquito bomber.\nAfter a year's training in German-occupied France, Chapman was dropped by parachute into a field in Cambridgeshire on 16 December 1942.\nInstead of disappearing into the criminal underworld, as his German handlers intended, he promptly turned himself in to the police and MI5.\nHis arrival was expected; unknown to him or the Germans, the British had cracked the Germans' secret codes and knew in advance when agent \"Fritzchen\" (\"little Fritz\"), the Germans' codename for Chapman, would be dropped into the UK.\nChapman was taken to a secret MI5 detention centre in west London known as Camp 020. He was interrogated by the formidable Lt Col Robin \"Tin Eye\" Stephens, who owed his nickname to the steel-rimmed monocle which he wore at all times (even, it was said, in bed).\nChapman was fully willing to cooperate: he told his interrogators everything about his time in occupied France and the mission that the Germans had given him. He even volunteered to work for the British against the Germans. Although Chapman's criminal past was a cause for concern, Stephens concluded:\n\"In our opinion, Chapman should be used to the fullest extent... he genuinely means to work for the British against the Germans. By his courage and resourcefulness, he is ideally fitted to be an agent.\"\nEddie Chapman thus became Agent ZIGZAG, one of the most important British double agents of the Second World War.\nMI5 decided to re-infiltrate Chapman into Germany and obtain more information about the Abwehr. Under the supervision of an MI5 officer, Chapman made radio contact with the Germans and informed them that he was preparing to carry out his sabotage mission at the De Havilland factory. He was sent to the factory at Hatfield, along with an MI5 minder, to work out a plan of attack so that he could tell his German controllers later what he had done.\nFaking sabotage\nThe \"attack\" itself was one of the most remarkable deception operations of the Second World War.\nDuring the night of 29/30 January 1943, an elaborate system of camouflage was installed at the De Havilland factory to make it appear to German reconnaissance aircraft that a very large bomb had exploded inside the factory's power plant.\nBomb-damaged transformers were created out of wood and papier-mache, and buildings were disguised with tarpaulins and corrugated iron sheets painted to appear from the air as if they were the half-demolished remains of walls and roofs. Rubble and debris was spread around the power plant, to make it appear as if it had been thrown there by an explosion.\nSeparately, MI5 arranged for a fake story to be planted in the Daily Express reporting \"an explosion at a factory on the outskirts of London.\"\nThe ruse was a complete success, even deceiving the factory's own staff.\nChapman radioed the Germans to inform them of the successful \"demolition\" of the factory's power plant.\nThe Abwehr was delighted with Chapman's work.\nIn March 1943 he returned via neutral Portugal to Germany and travelled on to an Abwehr safe house in German-occupied Norway.\nTo his amazement, he was awarded Germany's highest honour, the Iron Cross, in recognition of his work for the Abwehr. He was, and remains, the only British citizen ever to have been awarded this medal.\nChapman returned to Britain in June 1944 and survived the war, later publishing an account of his exploits in three books:\nThe Eddie Chapman Story (1953),\nFree Agent: The Further Adventures of Eddie Chapman (1955)\nThe Real Eddie Chapman Story (1966).\nHis story has also been told in two books published in 2007, Zigzag - The Incredible Wartime Exploits of Double Agent Eddie Chapman by Nicholas Booth, and Agent Zigzag: The True Wartime Story of Eddie Chapman, Lover, Betrayer, Hero, Spy, by Ben Macintyre.\nMI5's files on Chapman were released to The National Archives in 2001 following his death in 1997, and can be viewed by anyone with a National Archives readers' ticket.\nTags \u2013 British Spy Agent MI5 Double Agent ZIGZAG",

        "raw_content": "Authors: Hisashi Masuyama, M.D., Ph.D., Izumi Suzui, M.D., Kei Hayata, M.D., Ph.D., Yosuke Washio, M.D., Ph.D., Junko Yoshimoto, M.D., and Yuji Hiramatsu, M.D., Ph.D.\nBACKGROUND: Anti-muscle-specific tyrosine kinase (MuSK)-positive myasthenia gravis (MG) has a late onset in the 4th decade of life and a poor response to medical treatment. Few cases of pregnancy with anti-MuSK-positive MG have been described. We report a case of pregnancy with anti-MuSK-positive MG that was diagnosed during pregnancy.\nCASE: A 46-year-old healthy primiparous woman was referred to Okayama University Hospital at 23 weeks\u2019 gestation because of anti-MuSK-positive MG that was diagnosed during pregnancy in the first trimester. Emergent cesarean section was performed at 30 weeks\u2019 gestation because of severe preeclampsia and pre-crisis of MG. She received medication and plasmapheresis for hypertension and severe MG symptoms and was discharged on day 35 after delivery. The neonate had no symptoms of transient neonatal MG, and anti-MuSK antibody was positive at birth and then decreased to the normal range at 5 months old.\nCONCLUSION: Our case and previous reports indicate that pregnancy with anti-MuSK-positive MG might have the same or a relatively higher risk for the mother and neonate as compared with anti-AChR-positive MG. Multidisciplinary management throughout the perinatal period should be provided for pregnancy with anti-MuSK-positive MG.\nKeywords: AChR; acetylcholine receptor; anti-IgG; anti-muscle-specific tyrosine kinase antibody; antibodies, anti-idiotypic; cesarean section; muscle-specific kinase; MuSK protein; MUSK protein, human; myasthenia gravis; myasthenia gravis anti-skeletal muscle antibody; preeclampsia; receptor protein-tyrosine kinases; receptors, cholinergic; transient neonatal myasthenia gravis",

Married with 5 children, Donna has moved around Western Canada and, since 1995, has operated her own business specializing in custom picture framing, fine art photography and commission art work. She has had the opportunity to participate in numerous solo and group exhibitions across Canada and her works are held in private and corporate collections.\nHer practice incorporates a multi-disciplinary approach. She is inspired by Impressionist artists such as Degas and Manet for their use of light, brushwork and strong compositional elements. Recent exposure to contemporary artists: Richter, Bartlett and Hughes have formed a diverse assemblage to draw upon.\nDonna completed her Bachelor of Fine Arts, with great distinction, at the University of Lethbridge in 2011. As the recipient of a SSHRC grant and Graduate Scholarship, Donna has come full circle and enrolled in the Master of Fine Arts program at the University of Saskatchewan. She has successfully defended her Thesis in March 2013 and attended convocation in June 2013.\n46 Ridgewood Blvd W.Lethbridge , AB. T1K 6B9\nartisttouchdonna@aol.com\nInterview with Donna:\nMany things motivate and inspire me. I am constantly moved by the world around me as well as by images of the past. As a visual artist I find myself constantly thinking and responding to these visual stimuli through photography, paint, sculpture or whatever medium needed.\nMy goal during my Wood Buffalo residency was to immerse myself in the location and respond using a variety of mediums. I also wanted to use my time here to explore and experiment with mark-making. I feel very privileged to have been given this opportunity to work in the Anzac community.\nI would tell them to follow your dream and never give up. I was once a young artist who found life had taken me in many directions other than art making. At the age of 40 I decided to go back to school and follow my dream. Since then I have completed both my BFA \u201cBacheolor of Fine Art\u201dand MFA \u201cMaster of Fine Art\u201d, now finding myself on the path to becoming a full time artist. Proving it\u2019s never too late to follow your dreams.\nMy next horizon is to one day soon open an artist residency which would include a tea room and art gallery.\nChristian Villacillo was born and raised in Cebu, Philippines. At the age of twenty, he immigrated to Canada with his family and now considers Alberta home. It is here, in Alberta, where Christian chose to begin a career in the arts. Christian received his Visual Arts & Design Diploma from Keyano College in 2011. Since 2012, he has worked in the Keyano College Printmaking Studio as a technician and art demonstrator.\nWhile he was still a Visual Arts student, Christian began to be noticed at home and abroad. His work has been published internationally in photography magazines, he has been featured in art websites, and he has been interviewed extensively about his aesthetic and processes. He has exhibited in both solo and group shows in North America, and his photographs and prints are collected internationally including: the United States, Mexico, United Kingdom, France, the Netherlands, Australia, and, the Philippines. Christian intends to complete his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Printmaking at the University of Alberta, where he will start his 3rd year in the Fall of 2013.\nwww.christianvillacillo.com\nchristian.villacillo@gmail.com\nInterview with Christian:\nAs a print-artist, I am always fascinated with the creation and the translation of an artist\u2019s mark and the systematic changes the idea of an image undergoes from being a mere potential which is interpreted into a matrix and emerges as a statement in the physical world. That whole process, the dialogue between the artist and his mark, inspires me to investigate printmaking more as an art of translation and interpretation.\nThe goal was to continue a body of work that I started back in the summer of 2012 that evolved, due to certain forces at play, into unique images based on printmaking processes. At the same time, I wanted to keep the momentum of being able to make (art) work since graduating from Keyano College\u2019s Visual Arts & Design Program to working as an Art Demonstrator and Studio Technician to the present as an Artist in Residence.\n\u201cMan\u2019s senses collect and accumulate, the emotions and mind convert and order, and through the medium of art, they are emitted to participate again in the life stream where in turn will stimulate action in other men. For art is not only expressive but communicable as well, this communicability imparts to it a social function.\u201d \u2013Mark Rothko\nMoving to Edmonton and pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at the University of Alberta with a concentration on Printmaking.\nBreanna Fabbro\u2019s work is an extraction of recognizable forms reconfigured, exploring the possibilities of narratives and space evolving through artistic process. Dualities of support and restraint, concealment and exposure are drawn upon in order to create visual relationships, and to explore human experience. Abstracted spaces are explored through visual fragments of existing locations that are deconstructed and reconfigured into emotionally weighted spaces and expansive realms of non-reality.\nBreanna was born in Vancouver, BC and began studying Visual Art and Art History at Langara College in 2003, and completed her BFA at Concordia University in 2008. Upon returning to Vancouver, she has continued pursuing her art practice, and has most recently been preparing her portfolio in order to apply for Graduate studies.\nbreanna.fabbro@hotmail.com\nBree Mackin\nBree Mackin is a textile artists and part-time wardrobe assistant in Halifax, Nova Scotia. She received a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from the University of Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (NSCAD) and has a Surface Design diploma from New Brunswick College of Craft and Design (NBCCD). She has participated in over ten group shows and two solo shows in the Maritimes. Her pieces are mostly created found objects or discarded textiles.\nbree.mackin@gmail.com\nSonia Burke Smith is a self-taught Artist whose dream is to place art and culture as one of the three foundations (culture, science, spirit) for social and economic progress in the region. Originally from Montreal, Quebec, Sonia spent most of her life travelling and living in northern Canada. She now resides in Fort McMurray, AB with her family.\nSince embracing her inner artist, Sonia\u2019s practice rapidly developed. She became an Art Educator through the Royal Conservatory of Music, participated in several group shows, and continues to offer art workshops and afterschool programming. She encourages artist development through the creation of the Boreal Artist Institute, a local non-profit organization. Recently, she tackled the performing arts by acting, writing and directing a one-act play with special needs actors.\nSonia's visual art chronicles her journey through Aboriginal-influenced styles and imagery. \u201cI have been blessed with support and teachings from our Aboriginal people. That support came from a local family when I was young and has stayed with me my whole life. I have a great respect for what I was gifted and share that any chance I have.\u201d\nsister.sonia@hotmail.com\nInterview with Sonia:\nWhat motivates or inspires your creativity?\nSpirituality and environment.\nWhat were your goals for yourself during the time spent in the Wood Buffalo Artist in Residency Program?\nMy goal was to connect with strangers at the river and study these connections made. My question that I wanted to explore and do a body of work on what a river represents to a community. I also wanted to explore more of what the creation of group work with the theme of the river. I also wanted to explore photography as a medium.\nWhat piece of advice or idea would you like share with young artists in Wood Buffalo?\nTo use their gift and not be afraid to express themselves honestly through their work. So often we buckle to commercialism and lose our creativity in the process.I see art as the last honest platform to express honestly the world around us. We have the ability to ask the important questions, make statements and offer solutions in a creative way that inspires others.\nWhat is next on your horizon?\nI will be working at our non-profit on putting together Alberta Culture Days with many art and culture groups and continuing on to working within the community in the arts.",

        "title": "Roll of Honour - News & Reviews - Letter Written by Ernest West - Ladysmith - Boer War",
        "raw_content": "Letter Written by Ernest West - Ladysmith - Boer War\nOn 9th October 1899 the Boers gave the British an ultimatum that they withdraw their troops from the borders of the South African Republics. The British refused and two days later the Anglo Boer War commenced. The mounted Boer commandos immediately swept into the British Colony of Natal and pushing back the British troops in only 21 days, they were at the doors of the town of Ladysmith, the last major obstacle facing the Boers before they reached the coast. The British troops, under the command of General Sir George White, were told that their duty was to stand firm in the town and to prevent it from being taken. So began the Siege of Ladysmith. 21000 Boers pitted against 12000 British troops encircled in the town.\nThis letter was written by Ernest West to his mother, in Barton, describing the hardships experienced by the garrison of Ladysmith. Taken from St. Nicholas Parish magazine, Barton Le Clay, May 1900. The transcription is as written, the spelling is his.\nJust a few lines to you in answer to your numerous letters that I received om the 2nd of March. You don't know what pleasure it gives me to think that I have been spared to write to you again, for, dear mother, I must say, that I never witnessed four such months in the whole of my life, for as you know, if you have read the papers, that we in Ladysmith have been surrounded by the enemy, and could not get out, and for a whole four months have been looking forward to our relief coming, which it did do on the 28th February, and, dear mother, it only came just in time, for we was just about run out of rations, and you can guess what it was like for we had to eat our own horses. Out of the 520 horses that we brought with us we have only sixty left. We have eat all the others, and we was on one little biscuit a day the latter part of the time, and you would not credit the rubbish and muck the poor fellows eat, and that is not saying about the danger we was exposed to all day long, for we was being fired upon all day long by their big guns which they had on the hills all round us, for we was in a hollow and they was on the top of high hills. For the number of shells they fired at us there should not have been a man left, but I think the Lord must have been working with us, for most of the shots found a spare piece of ground. But it was food we was suffering from mostly and enteric fever, for up to now, dear mother, we have lost sixty-four out of my Regiment, and it is the same in every other Regiment. But I don't know what they are going to do with us now as we have no horses to go any further up country with, but I don't think the war will last much longer now as they are just beginning to see the mistake they made taking on England, but I shall be only too pleased to get out of it. I always said I should like to go on active service, but this has fed me up! I don't want any more of it, but, dear mother, I can't tell you half of it in here. I shall have to tell you bit by bit, and then go through the whole thing when I come home. It might please you to hear that I am alive, so in case I don't have a chance to write to the others you might let them know that I am still alive. I will write to you as often as I can, dear mother. Good-bye! I hope to see you soon.\nSir George White was in command at the famous defence of Ladysmith, under siege from November 1899 until March 1900. Known incumbents at Ladysmith:\nThe Leicesters The Dublins 1st Battalion 60th The King's Royal Rifle Corps\n2nd Battalion 60th The King's Royal Rifle Corps The Liverpools The Naval Brigade\n13th Battery, The Naval Brigade 69th Battery, The Naval Brigade 61st The Gloucesters\nHQ Staff 1st Battalion of the Manchester Regiment 5th Dragoon Guards\nThe siege of Ladysmith saw the naval brigade under Captain Hedworth Lambton of HMS POWERFUL with two 4.7 inch guns and four 12-pounders, the only weapons with any chance of responding to the Boer's five 6 inch and seventeen 75 millimetre weapons. However, it was correctly anticipated that the siege would be a long one and fire was limited to responding to Boer artillery. Thus despite having only some 600 rounds of 4.7 inch ammunition, this lasted until Ladysmith was relieved.\nCopyright \u00a9 Roll-of-Honour.com 2002",

The importance of the Latin Alexander in medieval medicine in the West is seen in the richness of both mainstream and secondary, excerpting manuscript-traditions. The tradition is such that the reconstructed Latin text promises to be a much more important witness to the Greek text than the Greek is to the Latin, and of course a reliable edition is a prerequisite for any systematic work on questions such as the provenance of the translation and the Latinity of the translator(s). The volume comprises an introduction to Alexander; an outline account of his works in Greek compared with the Latin version; a description of the Latin manuscript copies, and a proposed reconstruction of the genetic relations between them; some preliminary remarks on the Latinity of the Latin Alexander; and a sample edition, with translation, critical apparatus, and extensive notes, of the chapters on coughing at the start of Book 2.\nOctober 2006, c. 320 pp + 12 pls.

James Crow, Jonathan Bardill & Richard Bayliss, The Water Supply of Byzantine Constantinople\nOne of the greatest achievements of Roman hydraulic engineering, the water supply of Constantinople included the longest known aqueduct channels from the ancient world and the most complex system of water storage and distribution within the city itself. This monograph presents the results of ten years of fieldwork and research and provides a detailed account of the water channels and great bridges outside the city and the first comprehensive concordance of the water storage inside the city documenting over 150 cisterns. There is a historical introduction from Roman to early Ottoman times supported by a detailed collection of ancient sources translated into English. Later chapters integrate more closely the structural evidence with the written texts and provide the basis for new interpretations of the historical texts. Specific studies are concerned with the unique Christian iconography of the bridges and with the masons\u2019 marks recorded from them. The volume is illustrated by detailed maps showing the course of the channels and the location of the water bridges, together with detailed elevation drawings of the great bridges in the wooded countryside outside the city. Within the city the cisterns are plotted in detail for the first time enabling an appreciation of the water system in its topographical setting.\n2008. 286 pp + 15 maps & 150 illus. Hardback.

        "title": "Harold, King of the English",
        "raw_content": "Ling/Engl 216 course information\nHarold, King of the English\nInterpretation of \"Harold, King of the English\"\nThe Significance of \"Harold, King of the English\" in the Bayeux Tapestry\n(based on an interpretation by Kishlansky et al. 1994)\nby Mathias Ricken\nSeveral years after the coronation of William the Conqueror, his half-brother Bishop Odo of Bayeux commissioned an unknown artist with the creation of a tapestry [actually: an embroidery, S.K.] 230 feet long and 20 inches high, an immense piece of needlecraft even by today's standards. This strip of linen was intended to display the Norman conquest of England and William's victory.\nUsing narrative techniques also found in modern movie-making, the tapestry gives an elaborate insight into eleventh-century culture. The artist had cities and farms, peasants and craftsmen, cooking and fighting accurately embroidered. The illustration may even have been too detailed, at least from the Norman point of view, if the following interpretation holds.\nAfter the death of King Edward the Confessor, three noblemen claimed the English throne: William of Normandy, the Norwegian king Harald III, and Harold Godwinson, an earl of Wessex and son of the powerful earl Godwin. Harold of Wessex was favored by the Anglo-Saxon council of elders, who knew and trusted him to be a good leader. William, however, insisted that the deceased Edward the Confessor had chosen him to be the successor to the throne. In addition, William claimed that Harold Godwinson had, when shipwrecked years before, sworn to help him, William, to ascend to the English throne.\nHarold Godwinson was crowned by the Anglo-Saxon elders immediately after Edward's death, but this caused William to mobilize his troops and prepare to sail for England to seize the throne he claimed for himself. Harold, after beating off an invasion by Harald of Norway in the north, quickly marched south and with his exhausted troops met William's army in battle near Hastings.\nHarold was killed in the Battle of Hastings near the end of a long day of fighting. His demoralized troops broke ranks and were defeated. Even though the tapestry shows the killing of Harold Godwinson as divine revenge, as ordered by Bishop Odo, the artist may have introduced a different idea: In the scene following Harold Godwinson's coronation, the tapestry says: \"Here sits Harold, King of the English.\" Nowhere does the artist mention in the text that Harold was crowned without a rightful claim to the throne; rather, this caption suggests that it was the legitimate king who had been enthroned and later killed. The presence of all parts of society in the surrounding illustrations, i.e. workers, fighters, and clergymen, reinforces this understanding.\nThis special Anglo-Saxon view of history found in the tapestry, however, is so subtle that most likely the Normans who commissioned the creation of the Bayeux Tapestry, as it is called now, never even noticed it.\nPictures of the entire Bayeux Tapestry, in sequence, can be found online at The Bayeux Tapestry. The part in question can be found in Image 15.\nKishlansky, Mark, Patrick Geary, Patricia O'Brian, and R. Bin Wong, 1994. Societies and Cultures in World History, Vol. I, p. 285.

        "raw_content": "Home page > Topics > 20-21 cent\nFeodor Chaliapin in Riga\nRussian Sportsmen of Latvia\nRussian sportsmen from Latvia have been champions at the Olympic Games more than ten times. Dozens of Russian Latvians have been world champions in Europe.\nThe history of mass participation in sport in Latvia started at the beginning of the 20th Century. The second national Olympics of the Russian Empire was held in Riga in 1914. Local Russians also participated in these sports in great numbers. At these prestigious games Lebedev from Riga took first place in the 100 metres running contest.\nThe next page of this history relates to the first period of Latvian independence. In the late 1930\u2019s chess player Vladimir Petrov (a Riga resident) was considered to be one of the best grandmasters in the world. In 1937 he shared first place at one imposing tournament, beating multiple world champion Alekhin.\nRussian sportsmen from Latvia achieved most of their successes in the second half of the 20th Century and at the beginning of the 21st Century. One of the most renowned basketball players in the world is the twice Olympic champion (in the national USSR team), three-time world champion and ten-time European champion, Ulyana Semyonova. This sportswoman has received many national awards, including the Latvian Order of the Three Stars and the Order of Friendship of the Russian Federation. Her name is amongst those listed in the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield (USA).\nVolleyball players Bugayenkov and Selivanov became Olympic champions. Vera Zozulya from Riga became the first Winter Olympics champion from Latvia in 1980. Oarsman Ivan Klementyev and marksman Afanasy Kuzmin must also be mentioned among the Olympic champions. A whole group of Russians from Riga became world champions in acrobatics. Gymnast Igor Vikhrov brought the first gold Olympic medal to independent Latvia in 2000.\nIn the 1970\u2019s and 1980\u2019s two great hockey trainers, Viktor Tikhonov and Vladimir Yurzinov, worked in Latvia and as a result the Riga team Dynamo became one of the best teams in the world, achieving prize-winning places in the USSR and beating the NHL Club in friendly matches. The high standard of hockey playing in the Dynamo Riga team is a promising factor for future successes. In the 1990\u2019s and the beginning of the 21st Century the national hockey team of Latvia, which had a considerable number of Russian players, repeatedly came in the top ten of the best teams in the world.\nBasketball teams from Riga successfully played in European cups during the Soviet period. The SKA team, which was led by outstanding trainer Alexander Gomelsky, won the European Champion cup several times. Ulyana Semyonova played in the women\u2019s team of the TTT, which had repeatedly won the European Champion Cup.\n\u0412\u0430\u043b\u0435\u0440\u0438\u0439 \u0420\u043e\u0439\u0442\u043c\u0430\u043d. \u00ab\u0414\u0430\u0432\u0430\u0439, \u0413\u043e\u0448\u0430!\u00bb\nYelena Prokopchuk\nYuri Silov",

        "raw_content": "NORTH KOREA HAD FIRMED UP PLANS TO BUILD A NUCLEAR FORCE A YEAR AGO, WORLD INGORED WARNING SIGNALS\nNorth Korea is working to perfect its state nuclear force and its recent acts, including the successful intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) test launch and hydrogen bomb detonation, with provocative signals like more such \u201cgift packages\u201d are in the pipeline and the assertion that it is planning to strike the US military base in Guam suggest that it is successfully moving ahead in that direction.\nThat appears to be the case according to a release by the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA). According to a KCNA release available on North Korean media aggregators, North Korea is working to perfect its state nuclear force the blueprint was laid down during the Seventh Congress of the Worker\u2019s Party of Korea in May 2016. The WPK Congress had decided to advance its strategic targets and had vowed to work hard to build its nuclear force. The warning signals from North Korea was largely ignored by major world powers then.\nOn September 3, North Korea carried out its sixth and most powerful nuclear test yet when it claimed to successfully detonate a hydrogen bomb. Like it had done with its first ever successful ICBM test launch last month, the country felicitated the scientists involved in the operation and organized public event to celebrate its success.\nAccording to the KCNA release, \"the scientists visited the statues of former North Korean presidents Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il on Mansu Hill to make a report about their success and vowed to successfully conclude their research and development campaign to attain the final-phase goals for perfecting the state nuclear force advanced at the Seventh Congress of the Workers' Party of Korea.\"\nCurrently, there are eight countries in the world possessing nuclear weapons. Five of them, US, Russia, UK, France and China, are nuclear weapon states who have signed the nuclear non-proliferation treaty NPT. Three other countries, India, Pakistan and North Korea, who are non-NPT signatories, have declared themselves as nuclear powers. Israel is also considered a nuclear power though it has never publicly accepted it.\nBut only four out of these eight declared nuclear powers, US, UK, Russia and France, have deployed strategic nuclear warheads on ICBMs and at heavy bomber bases, an analysis from the Federation of American Scientists published in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists says.\nAnd North Korea's provocations say it might go on to become the fifth country of the nuclear bloc to strategically deploy nuclear warheads with its repeated threats to target US territories.\nBarring Pakistan and North Korea, all other nuclear powers are responsible countries. China, the only major ally of North Korea, even has no deployed strategic warheads the FAS analysis says. Pakistan is under heavy international scrutiny and pressure for its nuclear programme. Also, it is widely believed that North Korea got nuclear technology from Pakistan.\nLabels: #DPRK Hydrogen Bomb, 7th Congress of WPK, North Korea Hydrogen Bomb, North Korea ICBM, North Korea Missile Programme, North Korea Nuclear Force, North Korea Nuclear Programme, Worker's Party of Korea",

        "raw_content": "Tygerberg Burns chief wins global award\nTygerberg Hospital's Burns Unit chief, Dr Elbie van der Merwe, one of the country's most holistic and innovative burns specialists, has received international recognition for her ground-breaking local work in burns prevention, treatment and rehabilitation.\nShe has won the Euro-Mediterranean Council for Burns and Fire Disasters' G Whittaker International Burns Prize, and will receive the prestigious award next month (September) in Palermo, Italy. Van der Merwe (64) was the driving force behind legislation that forced the upgrading and redesign of the ubiquitous paraffin stove responsible for thousands of shack-fire deaths, injuries and hardship in the more poverty-stricken sections of townships. She lobbied parliament for years, presenting data and statistics from her research that finally led to a 2007 law that enforces a strict set of standards on paraffin stove manufacture country-wide. Her work has been adopted globally by the World Health Organization (WHO) and local follow-up studies have already confirmed a decreasing incidence of burn injury from paraffin stoves. Her retrospective review of outcomes with 1 908 patients admitted to her unit between January 2003 and December 2008 shows that 45% of them spent time in the ICU while 25.5% died. The leading cause of all burns over the 6 years was 'unspecified flame injuries' at 21.4%, with 12.4% from scalding the next highest contributor. The nationwide context was 7.5 million South Africans living in shacks with no water or electricity (255 highly combustible shacks erected check by jowl per day between 2002 and 2005) and 46 000 shacks per annum destroyed by fire. The death rate remained constant at 8.7 deaths per 100 000 people (co-incidentally the rough estimate of shack dwellers in the Cape Metropole at the time). Any patients with HIV/AIDS pre-burn injury had a particularly poor prognosis, she added.\nThe award also recognises a slew of Van der Merwe's other career achievements. These include playing the lead role in integrating trauma care and burn therapy and shoe-horning it onto the current South African medical academic curriculum, collaborating with national and provincial government to decentralise burns management via new burns units in peripheral hospitals and driving negotiations to establish a postgraduate burns course for nurses.\nOn her home turf, she founded the Tygerberg Burn Society, a non-profit organisation for the most disadvantaged burns victims providing rehabilitation, education and psychosocial support and pioneered multidisciplinary burns care in an extensively renovated burns unit in spite of severe staff shortages, creating an Africa-wide model of care.\nVan der Merwe was central in evaluating the influence of traditional medicine in burn management in Africa and has collaborated with surgical colleagues across the continent. She also teamed up with the Continuing Medical Education (CME) journal to campaign for burns management education for non-specialists and GPs.\nPioneer of 'fortitude and determination'\nDr Elmien Steyn, President of the Trauma Society of South Africa, described her as 'one of the unsung heroes of injury care, tackling initial indifference from the medical community towards the harrowing task of caring for these unfortunate patients'. With 'fortitude and determination', Van der Merwe built up a team, trained the staff and acquired the equipment and surgical resources to improve the care and rehabilitation of burns victims. Steyn said Van der Merwe headed a 'stressed and overloaded' unit dealing with all adult burn patients in the region and had overcome major adversity in an 'uphill battle over 20 years'.\n'Burns are horrible, gruesome and miserable with a high risk of infection. Very few people have the guts and compassion to work with these patients and many doctors and nurses simply burn out. It's not a fashionable or very exciting field and resources are seldom forthcoming - those who stick it out are wonderful people,' she said.\nVan der Merwe had trained a 'multitude' of surgeons, all of whom were impressed by the physical and mental strength 'this small woman can muster in the tough environment of the burns operating theatre'. Van der Merwe took the lead in establishing the Pan African Burns Society and continues to provide support and practical advice to burns care colleagues in resource-constrained countries. A lecturer and consultant in the Department of General Surgery at the University of Stellenbosch since 1990, the avid mountaineer is cited for her 'humanitarian, clinical, political and cultural achievements' in the field of trauma care.\nViolence and injury are one of the four 'big' burdens of disease categories being prioritised by National Health Minister, Dr Aaron Motsoaledi, who quoted UNISA/MRC research showing that for every person killed by injury, 30 times as many are hospitalised and 300 times as many are treated for less serious injuries and discharged.\nchrisb@hmpg.co.za",

        "raw_content": "A Crucial Gene Controls Stem Juiciness In Sorghum And Beyond\nTall and short sorghum varieties growing in the field. (Dr. Nadia Shakoor, Donald Danforth Plant Science Center)\nA crucial gene controls stem juiciness in sorghum and beyond Sorghum, the fifth most popular crop worldwide, is used to create many products in the United States and is widely consumed by people in developing countries. The discovery of a crucial gene controlling stem juiciness in sorghum has important implications for the genetic improvement of this ancient grain and likely other crops as well.\nFrom the American Society of Biologists, Rockville, MD (October 2, 2018) - Perhaps you\u2019ve never tasted sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), the fifth most popular crop in the world, but you probably will soon.\nThis ancient grain is a common source of food in developing countries and is also used to make Baijiu, one of the world\u2019s most popular spirits.\nGrain sorghum, a tough, drought-tolerant plant with dry, brittle stems, is also used to make products ranging from animal feed to industrial chemicals to gluten-free flour, and it represents a promising source of biofuel.\nThe less common juicy-stemmed sweet sorghum varieties are used to produce a maple syrup-like product. Stem juiciness can make a plant more tolerant to drought, but it can also make it less disease resistant, and the height of these plants can cause them to topple over in the wind. Understanding how the stem juiciness trait evolved and identifying the underlying gene could help breeders fine-tune this trait in sorghum and other important crops while shedding light on stem water transport in plants.\nOver 100 years ago, scientists discovered that stem juiciness is governed by a single genetic locus called Dry. While this genetic region has since been narrowed down to a small area on a single chromosome, moisture levels in sorghum stems can be quite variable, making it difficult to study this trait and pin down the underlying gene.\nThrough careful genetic analysis of a large, diverse panel of sorghum varieties, scientists at the Chinese Academy of Sciences discovered the gene controlling the stem juiciness trait in sorghum, as described in this month\u2019s issue of The Plant Cell.\nThe Dry gene product appears to function as a master switch that controls the expression of many genes that help determine the shape and composition of the plant cell wall. Mutations in the Dry gene in juicy-stemmed sorghum varieties lead to abnormal cell walls and even cell collapse, but the high sugar content in these plants enhances their growth and could lead to increased grain production.\nIt appears that breeders have long been selecting plants with mutations in the Dry gene to increase the efficiency of sorghum syrup production. The authors identified similar genes in other crop species, providing the opportunity to shape the level of stem juiciness in other plants as well.\nAccording to Dr. Thomas Juenger of the University of Texas, \u201cThis is an important discovery of an iconic sorghum gene and a great example of an integrative approach using genetic mapping, natural variation, and transgenic manipulations to understand a key factor underlying an important domestication event.\"\nFull citation: Li-Min Zhang, L.M. et al.

        "raw_content": "Fintry Provincial Park Park is accessable from April 1st to mid-October The park is located on the northwest side of Okanagan Lake on Fintry Delta Road, off Westside Road, approximately 34 km north of Kelowna or 49 km south of Vernon. Boat access is possible from Ellison Provincial Park and Kopje Regional Park in Lake Country. DIVE SITE Off the beach in the park is a CPR - Canadian Pacific Railway Barge. The barge moved cargo around Okanagan Lake and in later years was used by other commercial enterprises. It sunk off the beach in the park and lays in 25 to 60 feet of water. The structure of the barge is excellent and it's possible to access the interior thru the deck. She is approximatley 190 feet in length and 30 feet across. You should be a Certified Wreck Diver before accessing the interior on any sumberged wreck Off the Northwestern end of the barge is the frame for an old gas company - see if you can figure out which one. At the other end of the barge is the remains of a small boat. It's very unstable and shouldn't be touched. Between the barge and the beach are some of the KingPosts used to support the barge structure. This site has been surveyed by the Underwater Archaeological Society of British Columbia and a Plaque is located on the deck towards the Eastern end of the barge. Please do not remove anything from the wreck or the surrounding area as it is a protected archaeological site. The best access from the beach is a path from campsite #62. Once on the beach swim out to the dropoff about 15 feet in depth and follow the dropoff west or with the beach on your left. You should run into the debris field and the barge after a few minutes of swimming. Parking is a problem but there is space available in a small lot located between the historic Fintry Manor House and the campsites. It's not a long walk to the water and there are other access points to the beach which can put you on the dive site. Dive Site The Packing House Located further east is the original fruit packing house. It was here that the barge loaded and unloaded cargo. Have a look around you never know what was left from those early days. Please respect the park and campers. Parking alongside the campground roads or in the grass areas is not acceptable.",

A few years ago, I was able to visit some of the locations while in Toronto, check them out below.\nFirst up is the prime location of Seth's loft. Located at 135 Liberty Street near downtown Toronto, the building has gone through some major renovation, but many aspects are still recognizable. The building across from it is about half of what it used to be, but the doors and windows are still the same. (This spot was used in many films including Police Academy and Adventures In Babysitting.)\nMonolith Publishing is north of downtown Toronto at 200 Bloor Street East.\nThe interior was shot at a different building, located at 33 Yonge Street. I didn't go in that bulding, but you can see the mural on the Gooderham flatiron building out the window.\nAnd finally, a quick date scene was shot in the Kensington Market area, in front of 230 Baldwin Street. (This area was used in the last third of Police Academy.)\nThat is all for now.... be afraid.... be very afraid.\nTagged: The Fly, filming location, Jeff Goldblum, Toronto, Geena Davis, David Cronenberg\nNewer PostExorcist III (1990)\nOlder PostHalloween H20: Twenty Years Later",

He claimed that there had been \u201cirregularities\u201d by the ruling Parti Lepep and demanded a recount.\nHe will have to wait until the Constitutional Court gives its verdict on May 31, although many opposition politicians reckon they can already predict the outcome... and it is one they are not happy with.\nIn the meantime, the President who was sworn in despite the protests announced a raft of measures for the first 100 days.\nThese included reform on drugs enforcement, intelligence gathering and an audit of all ministries and departments. More support was also promised in education.\nIntriguingly, one of the questions put to Mr Faure in the NA was about victimisation.\nOne member wanted to know if any Seychellois worker had been victimised for political reasons during the past 100 days.\nMr Faure said the government \u201cwas not in the business of victimising its citizens\u201d and that anyone who felt his or her rights had been violated should seek recourse from the various institutions available.\nSo it goes on.\nCritics now believe three things:\nOne, the court's decision in May will not change matters one jot and that Mr Michel's presidency will be ruled valid.\nTwo, that it will not be long before Mr Faure steps up to become president.\nThree, those who want political change will continue to remain in despair because the opposition parties are still mortally weak in organising themselves.\nWill the status quo really change after May?\nWe wait and see. But don't hold your breath.",

You can get up to speed rather quickly in a basic diamond education, so don\u2019t worry. You won\u2019t be trapped for hours learning complex theories.\nThe value of the diamond is based on four main factors: Cut, Color, Clarity and Carat. By understanding the ins and outs of those four items, you will be able to pick a diamond that is rare and the most valuable from the bunch. Of course, you want the best there is, however your pocketbook may not. By understanding the four Cs, you can decide which C is the most important to you and therefore keep your finances intact.\nThe Diamond Cut can refer to the shape of the diamond or how it was cut.\nThe Diamond Shapes are: Round Brilliant Cut, Princess Cut, Pear shape, Marquise Shape, Cushion Cut, Radiant, and Old Mine cut. The Old Mine Cut was a cut that was used years ago, but is now replaced with the Modern Round Brilliant cut. Round Brilliant Cut is the most popular shape and it will return the most brilliance in a diamond. Princess cuts are popular because it appears to be a larger diamond due to the top of the diamond being spread out on the edges. The Marquise shape gives that larger look also, although it is not quite as popular.\nHow well the diamond is cut will determine how well the diamond will sparkle. Its brilliance, or how much white light is re-directed back through the top of the diamond, is what gives it that desirable sparkle. \"Ideal cut\" refers to a round diamond when the proportions of a round brilliant cut are perfect and within a specific range. The term \u201cideal proportions\u201d is referring to the table percentage, depth percentage, the finish of the diamond, and how well the facets are aligned. Hearts on Fire diamonds are considered \"the most perfectly cut diamond in the world.\" Hearts on Fire cuts only a round Brilliant Cut and a Square Shape diamond named Dream. Ben David Jewelers carries the Hearts on Fire brand.\nBen David Jewelers also has our own Signature Diamond which is a diamond that is close to ideal proportions, allowing the diamond to sparkle and be more beautiful than an ordinary diamond. All of Ben David Signature Diamonds are Round.\nColor is the 2nd C of the four Cs. Color is an important factor when it comes to the value of diamonds. The valuation scale will range from D and go all the way up to Z. The most valuable diamonds are going to be in the D-F range which is for the colorless diamonds.\nThe range of diamond colors of G-J are for the nearly colorless diamonds. They might have a color that the jeweler is able to see, but it wouldn\u2019t be visible to the naked eye. The KLM section of the scale will be a little more color, and this goes one up until the letter Z. The higher the letter, the more yellowish/brown color the diamond has.\nThe letter Z is going to represent a yellow or brownish diamond. So where do all the diamonds go that are blue, green, red, violet and other colors? They are called Fancy Color diamonds. In a sense, they are off the charts. Up until recently, it was only the colorless diamonds that were in demand. Nowadays, people are clamoring for all sorts of colored diamonds, driving up the price of the once neglected gemstones.\nWhen it comes to color, it is what you like that is important. If you go with a diamond that has a very slight color that is barely noticeable, it will cost far less than one rated a D. If you love colors then you can get diamonds in all colors of the rainbow. If you want only the very best, most desired diamonds then you will settle for nothing less than D Color diamonds.\nDiamond Clarity, the third C in the four Cs, lets you know what kind of characteristics the diamond has. The diamonds with the least amount of markings are the more valuable diamonds. Internal characteristics found are called the \u201cfingerprint of the diamond.\u201d\nThe Clarity scale ranges from Flawless to I3. Here is how the scale breaks down:\nFlawless \u2013 When a 10x magnifying glass was used by the jeweler to inspect the diamond, not a single characteristic was visible. There were no markings detected inside or outside of the diamond.\nInternally Flawless \u2013 At 10x magnification there were no internal characteristics seen.\nVVS1 and VVS2 \u2013 This is the range of markings that are very, very slight. These are diamond characteristics that the trained eye has difficulty finding, but they were seen.\nVS1 and VS2 \u2013 When the diamond has minor markings then it will fall within this range.\nSI1 and SI2 \u2013 Characteristics in this range are recognizable under 10x magnification.\nI1, I2 and I3 \u2013 Markings in the diamond are easily recognizable. The diamonds in this range usually have a diminished brilliance due to these particular characteristics.\nOnly the I1 \u2013 I3 grade range of characteristics can be seen by the naked eye. The other diamond grades will be determined by a trained diamond grader using 10x magnification.\nDiamond Carat weight is the 4th C in the diamond grading four Cs. There are 200 milligrams that make up the metric carat. This carat weight is usually the only thing someone is concerned about before they are introduced to the other three Cs. This C is for the size or weight of the diamond. Of course, like any weight measure, the larger the carat number, the more that diamond weighs.\nWhen determining the monetary value of a diamond, usually the higher carat diamond will fetch more than one with a smaller carat weight. An exception would be a diamond that is severely included which could make the weight not as important. So, when you are determining diamond value, remember that it cannot be done by carats alone. Larger diamonds do bring a higher price because they are rarer than smaller diamonds, but all of the four Cs are used in determining the value and market price of a diamond. So, just because a diamond is huge, doesn\u2019t necessarily mean its price will be higher than one that is much smaller.\nThe weight of a diamond is written in decimals. Each carat is divided into 100 \u201cpoints.\u201d If you have a diamond that weights .55 carats then your jeweler might refer to it as a \u201cfifty-five pointer.\u201d A 2.10 diamond might be referred to as \u201ctwo point ten carats.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Getting Ahead with Health and Safety Signage\nPeople often ask, \"How can I be competitive and even more successful in a recession economy.\" The answer is not as easy as it sounds: \"Find a need and fill it.\"\nBy Suzanne Batchelor - May 2009\nFirst, to be competitive, you have to be ahead of the eight ball, the leader of the pack - in short - the first to get an item to market. To be successful is trickier. Many customers don't always know what they need. If you have a golden product and your customers don't know they need it, then it is up to you to educate them. So that is why I am writing this article - to help you help your customers.\nCurrently, every company in the US (and abroad) must have certain safety and health signage in the workplace. The type of signage is different all over the world. However in 2003, the United Nations (UN) adopted the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS). The GHS includes criteria for the classification of health, physical and environmental hazards, as well as specifying what information should be included on signs and labels of hazardous chemicals as well as safety data sheets. The United States was an active participant in the development of the GHS, and is a member of the UN bodies established to maintain and coordinate implementation of the system.\nOSHA Implementation\nIn May 2005, OSHA added to its regulatory agenda consideration of rulemaking to revise its current Hazard Communication standard (HCS) to align its requirements with the GHS. As the first step in that rulemaking process, OSHA published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPR) on September 12, 2006.\nThe ANPR explains the history of the development of the GHS, including OSHA's involvement in the process. It also indicates how alignment with the GHS would affect the requirements of the HCS, and asks a series of questions to allow the public an opportunity to provide input. The comment period closed on November 13, 2006 and the final rule is in line for adoption.\nTo set the stage for the GHS, the American National Standards Institute issued guidance in July 2007 for US companies to follow for the labeling of chemicals to more effectively communicate hazards. This guidance includes signs and symbols that companies can already begin adopting and it is clearly paving the way for the adoption of the GHS.\nTo be ahead of the game, sign companies can use this information to educate themselves and their customers to meet the success recipe for today's market. The HSE Group has created a CD integrating the new signs which is available now. In addition, we're working with SA International, who will offer the sign collection in DVD format and online where the signs will be sold individually. This gives your sales people plenty of flexibility - both options give customers the opportunity to view the signs and depending on their specific applications and volume needed, they can either order the full collection or buy individual signs online at a cheaper price per sign if they don't need as many. Of course, if you buy the collection on CD/DVD you will have the database at your site. It also comes with a browser making it easy to search for words integral to the signs your customers might need.\nThis product release is ahead of the competition curve. Our original Safety SignsCD is a collection of over 2,500 signs and symbols stored in .eps and .pdf formats and fully compatible with graphics software and sign-cutting/page layout software. It has all the ANSI/ISO formats that you need to get prepared. If you have a customer who has an industrial or retail facility with employees exposed to hazards, they have the need. You just need to fill it.\nIncluded in the SignsCD package is a full color catalog with a cool on-screen image browser with many advanced features. It works fully on Windows or Macintosh and contains .pdf versions of all signs formatted for quick and easy printing using the included copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader. The online application will be available soon on SIGN.com, so we'll keep you informed through signindustry.com.\nSuzanne Batchelor is the President of The HSE Group, Inc. and international safety consulting firm that specializes in safety management solutions for international companies who are geographically disperse.

        "raw_content": "October 2 nd 2018 Comment\nby Michael Erdle\nScotiabank will still use OBSI for investment disputes, as do the other banks.\nBanks are required by federal regulation to have an independent service to investigate, mediate and adjudicate complaints about banking services.\nOBSI and ADRBO are currently the only approved private service providers for banking complaints. (ADRBO does not handle complaints against investment firms.)\nThe head of OBSI was quoted in the Globe as saying there is \u201can inherent conflict of interest\u201d in letting banks decide who will handle their customer complaints. It\u2019s \u201ca real problem for consumer protection in the banking sector,\u201d Sarah Bradley, ombudsman and chief executive, said.\nThose concerns were echoed by other consumer advocates, who expressed concern that a private, for-profit service cannot be as independent and fair as the OBSI, which is funded by financial industry members, based on size and revenues, and operated on a not-for-profit basis.\nThe OBSI website describes how OBSI investigates complaints about banking and investment services and makes non-binding recommendations for compensation if it finds that consumers have lost money or been treated unfairly. It tries to facilitate settlements between the financial institution and the customer, where possible. If it cannot settle the matter, it makes a formal non-binding recommendation. Compensation is capped at $350,000.\nFinancial institutions don\u2019t have to accept the recommendation, but any refusal is made public and they seem to be relatively rare. The OBSI website lists one refusal in 2016, four in 2015, six in 2014, five in 2013, three in 2012 and one in 2007. All related to investment losses, rather than banking complaints.\nThe OBSI opened 721 cases in 2017 \u2013 370 banking cases and 351 investment complaints \u2013 and recommended total compensation of $2.6 million according to the 2017 annual report. Average compensation for banking complaints was $2,089; for investment complaints it was $16,000.\nEarlier this year, the Financial Post reported that there was a 28% increase in bank-related complaints to OBSI in 2017. Almost one third of the complaints related to credit cards; mortgages were 18% and personal accounts were 16% of the banking complaints. Chargebacks were the leading credit card issue; prepayment penalties generated the most mortgage complaints, according to OBSI.\nIn 2017, many of the large banks also faced complaints about aggressive sales tactics, as both employees and consumers said the banks were pushing products on customers to meet sales and revenue targets.\nIn November 2017, ADRBO started taking complaints about National Bank Canada, in addition to RBC, TD and DirectCash Bank. Bow it is adding Scotiabank to the list.\nA spokesman for Scotiabank said one of the reasons for moving from OBSI to ADR Chambers was to provide customers with a more streamlined service and faster response times.\nCustomers must exhaust the bank\u2019s internal complaint process before going to OBSI or ADRBO.\nADRBO\u2019s 2017 Annual Report says it opened 275 new complaints (from 1248 initial contacts) and it closed 267 files, including all of those opened in previous years.\nThe ADRBO website explains that it makes an initial assessment within 30 days of receiving a complaint. If it concludes the complaint isn\u2019t within the scope of its mandate or that it will not likely come to a different conclusion than the bank, it will issue an \u201cinitial view\u201d letter declining the case. In 2017, that was the result in more than 60% of new cases. (Final reports were issued in 16% of new cases; 18% were still under investigation or under review; 4% had been resolved by agreement between the bank and customer.)\nFor many years, OBSI faced complaints that it\u2019s process was too slow, leaving some consumers waiting for months or years to learn whether they would receive compensation or not. But based on the 2017 numbers, there doesn\u2019t seem to be significant difference between the two services in investigation times for banking complaints.\nIn 2017, it took ADRBO an average of 54 days to complete its investigations. OBSI also reported that it completed its banking investigations in an average of 50 days in 2017, and none took longer than 120 days.\nIt is always a challenge to create and manage an effective, independent consumer dispute resolution process, particularly when it is offered free of charge to the consumer. Any system is going to face suspicion that it is biased in favour of those paying for it, especially when it\u2019s funded by the parties being investigated and potentially sanctioned. If some can opt out and move to another service provider when they don\u2019t like the way it works, it inevitably causes doubts about fairness and impartiality.\nADR Chambers commissioned an independent audit of its investigation and adjudication processed in 2012, in response to earlier public challenges to its independence and fairness. The audit report is available here. It made several recommendations to improve transparency and communications with consumers which I think are applicable to any similar consumer complaint system, whether private or public:\nAdopt clear policies for contract investigators and office staff to provide accurate and timely updates to parties to an investigation\nClearly articulate what feedback is being sought when a draft investigation report is provided to parties to the investigation.\nProvide an explanation of the relevance of case law or contract documents referred to in the investigation report and attach the relevant supporting documents for clarity and understanding of the report.\nClearly, transparency and timely communication are essential to any consumer dispute resolution process. The consumer, unfamiliar with the process, is naturally suspicious of the ongoing relationship between the business and the service provider. They must have visible assurance that the claim is being handled fairly and in their interests.\nOn the other hand, an adversarial relationship between the service provider and the business that is subject of the complaint is not productive either. The investigator must be able to get all the relevant information to make an objective assessment. And final recommendations must have credibility if they are to be accepted, especially when they are non-binding.\nIt\u2019s a delicate balancing act and, as the banking industry example shows, a loss of confidence can result in a run on the bank \u2013 or on the banking ombudsman.\n\u00ab Previous: Tips Tuesday Next: Highlights From Ontario\u2019s New Proposed Cannabis Legislation \u00bb",

        "raw_content": "It\u2019s International Women\u2019s Day! To celebrate, we caught up with one of our fave inspiring females, Emily Elizabeth Hoyle, creator of Good Blood \u2013 the period power project. Read on to find out how she\u2019s helping to make positive change for women, who inspires her, and what she\u2019s binge-watching on Netflix currently (all the important questions obv)\u2026\nFor anyone that doesn\u2019t know, can you tell us what Good Blood is?\nGB is a period power project and it\u2019s about inspiring empathy and smashing the taboo and stigma around periods through powerful merchandise.\nWhere did the idea for GB come from?\nIt must be about 2 years ago now \u2013 I was commuting to London and I had really excruciating period pain. You know what it\u2019s like on the tube, you often have to stand and at that time I really felt like I was going to faint. I needed to sit down but felt too embarrassed to ask someone for their seat, which is why I created these badges. They\u2019re a way to signify you\u2019re on your period, that you\u2019re suffering and in pain, without having to say anything.\nWhat makes this cause so important to you?\nI feel very passionate about creating change and making this a more liveable world for everybody. There\u2019s still so much stigma surrounding periods, and this stigma contributes towards inequality which is why it\u2019s so important to start talking about it. I want to create a platform and a space where women can talk about these things, where it\u2019s encouraged.\nHave you faced any obstacles in setting up GB?\nDefinitely financial obstacles. Being a student it can be so difficult to make things happen, especially when I\u2019m completely supporting the project by myself. Other than that though I think I\u2019ve been quite lucky \u2013 everyone who\u2019s heard about GB has really supported it.\nWhat do you do day to day, and would you like to make GB your full-time job?\nI\u2019m studying for my MA in Gender and Women\u2019s Studies at Lancaster University, and also currently applying to do a PhD following this. GB is definitely a passion project, I wouldn\u2019t want to turn it into a business or a full-time job. What I\u2019d love most is for more people to get involved, and for it to be collaborative, for it to just grow organically through increased awareness.\nHow do you see GB growing/changing in the future? Have you got any specific plans for it?\nMy plan is just to continue with the badges and T-shirts, and try to create as much awareness as possible. Also, I donate 10% of all profits from the GB badges to charities that align with the GB message, such as Bloody Good Period who give menstrual supplies to asylum seekers, refugees, and people who can\u2019t afford them. This is something that\u2019s really important to me and I\u2019d like to do more of in the future.\nCan you sum up the project in 5 words?\nPassion, powerful, collective, empathy, support.\nWho\u2019s your female role model and why?\nMy feminist hero is Donna Haraway \u2013 her work is such a huge inspiration for me and definitely put me on the path for what I want to do and how I can create change. I wouldn\u2019t be doing what I\u2019m doing without her knowledge.\nWho would you love to see supporting GB?\nTheresa May \u2013 as I think this would have the biggest national impact.\nAny advice for female activists in general?\nStart small, take small steps and do what you can.

        "title": "The Gospel of Rome: Holy Relics",
        "raw_content": "The Gospel of Rome\nPart 19: Holy Relics:\nRome promotes the use of \"holy relics\" in the life of the Roman Catholic.\nThe Catholic Encyclopedia states:\nThe teaching of the Catholic Church with regard to the veneration of relics is summed up in a decree of the Council of Trent (Sess. XXV), which enjoins on bishops and other pastors to instruct their flocks that \"the holy bodies of holy martyrs and of others now living with Christ?which bodies were the living members of Christ and 'the temple of the Holy Ghost'... are to be venerated by the faithful, for through these [bodies] many benefits are bestowed by God on men, so that they who affirm that veneration and honour are not due to the relics of the saints, or that these and other sacred monuments are uselessly honoured by the faithful, and that the places dedicated to the memories of the saints are in vain visited with the view of obtaining their aid, are wholly to be condemned, as the Church has already long since condemned, and also now condemns them.\" [173]\nSo it is clear that Roman Catholics are supposed to venerate the bodies or clothing of dead saints in order to receive \"many benefits.\" In addition, those who teach otherwise are condemned.\nAccording to the Roman Catholic Church, a relic is defined as:\nsome object (body or clothes) of a dead saint\nto be venerated by \"the faithful\"\nused for obtaining aid of departed saint\ncondemns anyone who teaches otherwise\nSt. Thomas Aquinas, arguably one of the most influential Roman Catholics of all time, wrote in his seminal work, Summa Theologica:\nObjection 3. Further, a dead body is not of the same species as a living body: consequently it does not seem to be identical with it. Therefore, after a saint's death, it seems that his body should not be worshiped.\nReply to Objection 3. The dead body of a saint is not identical with that which the saint had during life, on account of the difference of form, viz. the soul: but it is the same by identity of matter, which is destined to be reunited to its form. [174]\nSo, according to Aquinas, it's okay to worship the dead body of a saint because it's not very different than when it was alive.\nProblem: We shouldn't be worshipping anyone: living or dead!\nAquinas also wrote:\nIt is written (De Eccles. Dogm. xl): \"We believe that the bodies of the saints, above all the relics of the blessed martyrs, as being the members of Christ, should be worshiped in all sincerity\": and further on: \"If anyone holds a contrary opinion, he is not accounted a Christian, but a follower of Eunomius and Vigilantius.\" [175]\nIn his influencial work, The City of God, Augustine wrote the following anecdote:\nWhen the Bishop Projectius brought the relics of Saint Stephen to the town called Aquae Tibiltinae, the people came in great crowds to honor them. Amongst there was a blind woman, who asked the people to lead her to the bishop who had the holy relics. They did so, and the bishop gave her some flowers which he had in his hand. She took them, and put them to her eyes, and immediately her sight was restored, so that she passed speedily on before all the others, no longer requiring to be guided. [176]\nThe superstitious worship of relics even dates back, according to some sources, to the time of Constantine himself.\nRelics that are claimed to be the Holy Nails with which Christ was crucified are objects of veneration among some Christians. When Helena, mother of Constantine the Great discovered the True Cross in Jerusalem, the legend was told by and repeated by Sozomen and Theodoret that the Holy Nails had been recovered too. Helena left all but a few fragments of the Cross in the Basilica of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, but returned with the nails to Constantinople.\nAs Theodoret tells it in his ??Ecclesiastical History, chapter xvii, \"The mother of the emperor, on learning the accomplishment of her desire, gave orders that a portion of the nails should be inserted in the royal helmet, in order that the head of her son might be preserved from the darts of his enemies. The other portion of the nails she ordered to be formed into the bridle of his horse, not only to ensure the safety of the emperor, but also to fulfil an ancient prophecy; for long before Zechariah, the prophet, had predicted that 'There shall be upon the bridles of the horses Holiness unto the Lord Almighty.'\" [177]\nWhat the Bible Says about Relics:\nWhereas the Roman Catholic Church encourages its people to worship \"holy relics,\" and condemns anyone who teaches otherwise, the Bible clearly teaches against this practice.\nWhen Jesus was tempted by the devil to give worship to Satan, the Lord correctly responded, \"Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve\" (Matthew 4:10).\nAccording to Jesus, we are to worship God only - nothing else.\nPaul told the Thessalonians that they \"turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God\" (1 Thessalonians 1:9). Christians are not to worship idols (created things) but God alone.\nThe true Second Commandment states, \"Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments\" (Exodus 20:3-6). We have already discussed that this commandment is removed from the list of the Ten Commandments by Roman Catholics. It's clear why this is the case, since Rome so brazenly violates this command.\n\"Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves... Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female, The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air, The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth: And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven\" (Deuteronomy 4:15-19, emphasis mine).\n\"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness... Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened... And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man... Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator\" (Romans 1:18, 21, 23, 25, emphasis mine).\nIn Acts chapter 14, Paul and Barnabus are mistaken as gods by the pagan Greeks. The Greeks even began offering sacrifices to them. Paul reacted harshly:\n\"Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein\" (Acts 14:15).\nSimilarly, the Apostle John began to worship an angel. \"And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God\" (Revelation 19:10).\nAll of these scriptures have the same teaching in common: God is to be worshipped, and not created beings or created things! The worship of \"holy relics\" in order to receive \"many benefits\" is a concept foreign to scripture and likewise should be seen as abominable to Christians.\nNext: The Bible\nThis document written to the glory of God.\n\u00a9 2006, Mark Edward Sohmer.

        "raw_content": "RVD the new IC Champ\nSolie's Newsletter\nOff Line for 4 Weeks\nDuring the month of October, I am going to be moving to a new home in another city. Since I am going to be spending a lot of time working on the new house, and driving back and forth between the two locations (which are about 180 miles apart), I am concerned that I may not be able to properly monitor the wrestling scene during this period. So I have decided to suspend publication of the newsletter during the month of October. After this edition, the newsletter will go off line for four weeks, to return on Monday, November 3rd.\nThis week in World Heavyweight Title History saw the abandonment of a couple world titles and a couple title changes in Montreal. I hope you enjoy it! If you have any questions, comments or corrections, e-mail me at wrestlinghistory@hotmail.com and please visit my web site at: http://www.geocities.com/mrbenaka/index.html\nWorld Title History for the week of September 29th to October 04th:\nVicent Lopez capture the Los Angeles version of the World Heavyweight Title on September 30, 1936 when he defeated Dave Levin in Los Angeles, CA\nDr. X (Bill Miller) defeated Wilbur Snyder on October 03, 1050 in Omaha, NE to capture the Omaha version of the World Heavyweight Title.\nSeptember 30, 1967 saw Wilbur Snyder defeat Mitsu Arakawa for the Indianapolis version of the World Wrestling Association (WWA) World Heavyweight Title.\nYvon Robert defeated Ernie Dusek on October 03, 1939 in Montreal, QC, Canada to capture the World Heavyweight Championship of the Montreal Athletic Commission.\nExactly twenty-seven years later, Edouard Carpentier captured the Montreal World Title for the fourth time when he defeated Hans Schmidt in Montreal, QC, Canada. This was the fourth time Carpentier held this version of the world title.\nCanek vacated the Universal Wrestling Association (UWA) World Heavyweight Title on October 04, 1983 so that he could leave UWA and tour Texas. This ended his fourth run with the title.\nOctober 04, 1937 saw Jim Londos awarded the Maryland version of the World Heavyweight Championship in Baltimore, Maryland. Bronko Nagurski was the previous champion and he would not sign to face Londos. So, Nagurski was stripped of the title and it was awarded to Londos.\nInternational Wrestling Enterprise saw their World Heavyweight Championship abandoned on September 30, 1981 when the company closed its doors. The last champion was Rusher Kimura and the closing ended his fifth title reign.\nThe Los Angeles based World Wrestling Association (WWA) abandoned its World Heavyweight Championship on October 01, 1981 after they joined the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA). Bobo Brazil was the last WWA World Champion and his second reign ended when the title was abandoned.\n\"Next week, I promise to do another Top 10...best CHARACTERS in the WWE.\"\nYeah\u2026I said it, but I am faced with a quandary. Let me explain\u2026\u2026\nI don\u2019t know which 10 I should do. The characters that are present in this day and age...there are several that I would call good. Kurt Angle...very good. Eddie Guererro\u2026very good. HHH, though I would hate to admit it, has a very good character developed for himself. However, there are only a couple active characters I would consider as great, when compared to the characters we have seen since 1980 or so. The Undertaker is one, Shawn Michaels and Ric Flair are others. So, considering which picture to paint for you (the bigger one, or the smaller one) is hard, because there are so many characters from the 80\u2019s that I would miss.\nWell, far be it from me to keep the big picture from you, the loyal readers. So, I\u2019ll jump in with both feet. I am going to qualify this list further, and make it representative of the federations that I had access to, which was the NWA-WCW and the WWF/E, because we had very little coverage of any other regional/national fed in my geographical area between 1980-1991. Sorry to all you AWA\u2019ers out there, and to all the Stampede fans...I just never had the chance to see your great workers in character when they were in their prime in your federations.\nThe Top 10 Characters in Pro Wrestling*, from 1980-2003: (note: careers in parentheses)\n10. The \u2018King\u2019 Jerry Lawler (1970-Present): I know that some characters cited here were in other feds and reached great and epic heights there, like Lawler, but one of the things he has above many other wrestlers is the fact that he very successfully moved from the ring to announcer, and maybe better than anyone else. Having it out with Andy Kaufman helped, \u2018tis true, but he is quite original in his character (Harley Race being in a slightly earlier era), and recognized wherever he goes. He is also a guy who baits the fans as a heel, but is treated as a face. He deserves a place on the list here. Along with...\n10a. Bobby \u2018The Brain\u2019 Heenan (1960-1999): I know this guy wrestled, and many would say that Freddie Blassie was more of a character than Heenan, but this is the only \u2018pure\u2019 male manager in this list, or, I should say, he is the only person that wasn't a wrestler for the majority of his career. He was the best man at getting heat for his troops, and was so recognized for his banter and his persona, that it was fun booing him. He intimately understood the role he had, and it showed in the artistry with which he played the cheap cheater and the cowardly sneak. He had, without a doubt, a most brilliant run in the WWF and WCW, and was the essential manager, and one that all managers should be compared to. I bind him with Lawler, because they are mirror images of each other; Heenan\u2019s fame, though, came in the wrestling world while NOT a wrestler, where Lawler\u2019s came when he wrestled. Probably the best color commentators of this age in wrestling as well.\n9. Sting (1985-Present): He was, without a doubt, as important to the NWA-WCW as The Undertaker was to the WWF. He never left his fed for greener pastures, and the fans knew and appreciated that. He was the perfect foil for Ric Flair...as flashy, as technically sound, and as resourceful in the ring, but louder, younger, and much more moral. From the loud, crew-cut days where he stood off Flair, to the days where he donned black and warred with the nWo, there was no character in the WCW as loved as Sting. He had the rare combination of speed and strength, much like The Rock, and never sloughed a match off.\n8. \"Macho Man\" Randy Savage (1976(?)-2000): There was no character like Randy Savage...no one. \"OOHHH, YEAHHH!\" was one of the things we said back and forth in high school to each other, and there is no wrestling fan who would hear that and fail to immediately understand who you were talking about. With the \u2018Pomp and Circumstance\" entrance, and the escort (be it grudgingly or lovingly) with Miss Elizabeth, Randy Savage was the top face AND the top heel in the WWF in the mid-1980\u2019s. He successfully carried that over to the WCW, and managed to keep his character (wild clothes, glasses, tense-to-bursting promos and demeanor) fresh and popular for several years, even without the added bonus of Elizabeth.\n8a. Miss Elizabeth (1984-2000): Miss Elizabeth might not be the 7th greatest character...she might be 8th, or 6th, but she is the only female on the list, and that is because she was, simply, the exemplar for every female valet that came after her. She was graceful, charming, and knew how to play the character. Fans could see her chafing every time she had to pull something out of her bag of tricks to get Savage a win, and the conflict that she felt between Hogan and Savage was vested in every heart that followed that storyline. There was no comparison to any valet before her, especially where popularity was concerned, and she was arguably more popular than Savage was at some points in their association. The prototypical Valet, Miss Elizabeth.\n7. \"The American Dream\" Dusty Rhodes (1969-2001): What a lot of people tend to think of when they think of Dusty Rhodes is either he polka-dotted tights in his WWF run, or his playing a lot of second fiddle to Ric Flair in the 80\u2019s NWA. However, this guy was a wildly popular character in the 80\u2019s and 90\u2019s, be it behind the mic, or in the ring. He was very good at playing to the fans, he worked hard in the ring, and was totally unmistakable. Dusty held the NWA World Heavyweight Title three times, defending it against all-time greats from three different eras in wrestling. One of the great ties to an earlier age in wrestling...Dusty Rhodes.\n6. Ricky \u2018The Dragon\u2019 Steamboat (1977-1996(?)) Sometimes, in-ring performances define a character. Ricky Steamboat held the NWA Title, the WCW U.S. Title, the Intercontinental Title, and several others. He wrestled in what are commonly thought of as two of the greatest matches in the modern era\u2026against Randy Savage and Ric Flair\u2026and his mastery of the in-ring character...fluidity, motion, heart, skill, and drive to put the best match on the mat...made him one of the greats. Many were more famous, but none were, pound for pound, better than Steamboat. Also, unlike many, there was no long, long decline of his character. He didn't overstay his greatness.\n5. Bret \u2018The Hitman\u2019 Hart (1976-2000) Bret Hart was, more than likely, the best professional wrestler on this list. He could out wrestle everybody on this list, and make all of them look like experts. Was he the ballet of Steamboat? The flash of a Ric Flair, or the volume of a Sting? Nope, but he was the best of everyone on this list, the foot soldier in a list of generals and officers. He was the gritty worker, the one who sold the other moves, the backbone of whatever fed he was in. Did you need a great main event? You wanted Bret Hart. Face or heel, he was a character that the fans trusted and believed in. Like the man, the character had principles; even if they were a bit different than yours, you respected the character.\n4. The Undertaker (1989-Present): This man has the most dominating presence in the current era of pro wrestling. Period. No other answer is applicable. For 13 years, there has been no-one that can hold a candle to him as a character, and he has done nothing but gain in stature. Even though his original character (Zombie to Goth) evolved to a state of staleness, he made a huge change and came back arguably more popular than ever. That is a true statement of the uniqueness and power of the Undertaker character. He is the greatest of the big men since Andre the Giant, and is proof that great mic work is not the genesis of a truly great character.\n3. \u2018Rowdy\u2019 Roddy Piper (1970-Present): Without a doubt, the best heel of the last 30 years. Another absolute, fair readers. He was such a great heel, he turned face...the first modern \u2018anti-hero\u2019, and the heel that every present heel models him-or-herself after. A singular character, and with the most unique entrance of any piper in history (forget the dimming lights, the entrance music\u2026who else has bagpipes?), but he had the most talent on the mic of anyone in his age. Better than Flair, Hogan, Shawn Michaels, and anyone else on this list, Piper could convey his role to the fans with marked efficiency. Though he was never the in-ring technician, Piper was the role model for every sports entertainer that works in the ring today. He was the \u2018seller\u2019 of all things wrestling, and understood the importance of kayfabe.\n2. Hulk Hogan (1978-2002): Hulk Hogan is the greatest of the \u2018comic-book\u2019 characters that proliferated throughout the 80\u2019s, and he was the greatest of the \u2018created\u2019 characters. In addition, he was the first pure \u2018sports entertainer\u2019. Where he was different than Roddy Piper is in his complete difference of focus. He had little in the way of \u2018pro-wrestling\u2019 skills, and wasn\u2019t the fastest, or smartest worker, but Hogan was, perhaps, the greatest package wrestling had ever seen: A huge, good-looking man who could work the mic and sell a match to the fans. He was cool, with his long hair, muscles, rock-and-roll persona, and he captured millions with his talent and shtick. Though he had little wrestling talent, he worked hard in the ring, and became the first pop-icon from the wrestling world since Gorgeous George.\n1. \u2018The Nature Boy\u2019 Ric Flair (1972-Present): The greatest character of the last 20 years, bar none. He is the best combination of in-ring skill, awareness of kayfabe, mic work, appearance, and smarts that has come down the pike in the last 2 decades. He is probably, with Hogan, one of the top five wrestlers of all time. However, working in the environment of the NWA (which was more world-wide than the WWF was in the late 70\u2019s and early 80\u2019s), he displayed something that Hogan didn't have, and that was a selflessness...something that defines a character is the ability to shine when not in the spotlight, and put over other great characters. Several people that could be on this list...like Sting, would not have been ranked so high unless Ric Flair hadn't strutted out to the ring and jobbed to them. Dusty Rhodes, Sting, Hulk Hogan, and even Savage, were all made better by Ric Flair. Now, in maybe the truest definition of the persistence of his character, when you see the Figure Four Leg-Lock, or hear the smart report of a openhanded chop, or glance at a platinum blond head of hair, perfectly feathered back, down to the shoulders, you only picture one man...Ric Flair, the Nature Boy.\nI started school today, in an attempt to pound my way through those last 13 classes to my 4-year college degree. After I get that, maybe my Masters, and my Doctorate...\n...then, my Earlate.\nI will see all of you, in 5 weeks, for another Connection.\nSmackDown! came to us on tape from the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and opened with Vince McMahon and Sable coming down to the ring to make a special presentation of the WWE Heavyweight Title to Brock Lesnar. But before they could introduce the new champ, the old champ, Kurt Angle decided to interrupt the festivities. Vince pretended to welcome him to the ring, then started trying to put words in his mouth, first saying that Kurt was here to whine, then saying he wanted to challenge Lesnar (which wasn't going to happen, according to Vince), then saying that Kurt intended to join Vince in honoring and congratulating Lesnar. Angle finally got his hands on the mic and said he wasn't there to congratulate Brock, but to kick his butt. He was calling Brock out! At this point, Vanilla Lice showed up and started running his mouth. Angle knocked him on his can and threw him out of the ring - then he went looking for Brock. He went backstage and found the Champion's dressing room, but Brock wasn't there. As he exited the room he was ambushed by a lurking John Cena - but we cut to commercial.\nDuring the break, Cena split. Angle commandeered Vince's limo to give chase.\nLos Guerreros defended their Tag Titles against Matt Hardy and Shannon Moore. Moore and Hardy, despite being a veteran team, gave the Champs very little trouble. They managed to isolate Chavo for a short while, but then Eddie tagged back in and cleaned house quite convincingly. The challengers tried to use a shortcut to victory but it misfired when Hardy accidentally clobbered his partner. About a minute later, Eddie put Moore in position and hit a Frog Splash for the win. Almost immediately, Hardy came back into the ring and put Eddie down with a Side Effect onto a title belt. Chavo was trying to rouse his uncle as we cut to commercial.\nDuring the break, Charlie Haas ran in and attacked Eddie while he was down. Haas is challenging Guerrero for the US Title later tonight.\nA-Train came down and started tearing up the ringside furniture. He grabbed a mic and complained about being told that he can't beat Chris Benoit. He harangued the crowd daring anyone to challenge him, then he dragged the time keeper into the ring and started to beat on him. Benoit ran down and attacked him, slapping on the Crippler Crossface, which A-Train powered out of. Benoit was thrown to the floor and then hit with a chair.\nBackstage, Eddie Guerrero was refusing to back down from the title match with Haas later tonight. Meanwhile, Vince was over-acting as usual, \"making love\" to Sable when the producer interrupted them. He told the producer that the special Title presentation to Lesnar would still take place tonight, then told him to get out.\nJosh Mathews interviewed Charlie Haas justified his attack on Guerrero, saying that the Guerreros took out his partner last week.\nTajiri challenged Rey Misterio for the Cruiserweight Title. The challenger gave Rey Rey everything he could handle in a long match, and then won it after spraying the champion with red mist.\nThe unlikely duo of Jamie Noble and Bradshaw took on the Basham Brothers and had the match under control, for the most part. Bradshaw hit a Clothesline from Hell on Doug and appeared to have it won, but Shaniqua ran in and attacked Bradshaw, thus getting her team disqualified.\nCharlie Haas challenged a already injured Eddie Guerrero for the US Title. Before the match, Guerrero had to get past the Big Show, who had joined the broadcast team for a minute or so coming out of the commercial. Show let him go past, but then turned and attacked the Champion, then left him laying for Haas to start the match early. The strategy was unsuccessful in the end. Haas worked on Guerrero's back throughout the match but failed to put Eddie away. In the end, he was fooled into running himself into the corner, where Guerrero had draped the title belt and was defeated after the Champ hit a Frog Splash.\nVince finally got to have his ceremony for Lesnar. But he was interrupted by the Undertaker, who came down to complain about Lesnar's interference during the match he had with Kurt Angle a few weeks ago and then informed them all that he would have a title match against Lesnar at the next PPV. When Vince demanded to know who had made that match, which brought Stephanie to the ring to reveal that she had booked the contest. Vince then made a match pitting Stephanie against himself at No Mercy - an \"I Quit\" match with Stephanie's job at stake. A brawl ensued, and Brock was on the receiving end of a chokeslam as the program faded to black.\nRaw came too us live from the Allstate Arena in Chicago, Illinois, where Chris Jericho welcomed his special guest for the Highlight Reel - Eric Bischoff, who informed us that the WWE Board of Directors had suspended Steve Austin from tonight's program for attacking Bischoff last week. Jericho next introduced Jim Ross, who was set to face Jonathan Coachman with the RAW announce jobs on the line. Bischoff then invited Coach to name a stipulation for the match. He chose a \"Country Whippin'\" match. JR suggested that Bischoff ought to be hoping for a win my JR because the Coach and Al Snow suck. This got him laid out by Jericho, which brought the supposedly suspended Rattlesnake to the ring to rescue his old friend. Bischoff and Jericho split up the ramp to avoid contact, then complained that Steve was supposed to be barred from the building and summoned security forces. Austin took out the security guys then left under his own volition.\nThe Dudleys put their Tag Team Gold on the line against the uneasy team of Scott Steiner and Test (w/Stacy). They won it with a 3D after Stacy delivered a chair shot on her tormentor. After the match, Steiner suddenly turned on Stacy and put a suplex on her for interfering at the PPV and causing him to lose to Test, then split. Test, for his part, was first astonished then delighted at that turn of events. Poor Stacy...\nKane came to the ring for a rant and was interrupted by Hurricane, who wanted to know what happened to his former tag team partner (they were the champs at one time, remembers?). Kane's response was to menace a child in a Hurricane mask at ringside. Hurricane came down and took a beating. Rosie ran in and rescued him, then the two of them ran Kane off.\nIn a segment taped backstage earlier in the day, Marc Jindrack, Maven and Garrison Cade were taunted by the French Nerds and their thug friend. This led to the next match - a six man tag contest, which was one by the face team when Cade pinned Conway.\nAfter the break, Austin was hanging out in the parking lot with a bunch of security guys. RVD came out and thanked him for setting him up to meet Christian for the IC Title later tonight, then a \"fan\" named \"John\" approached the Rattlesnake. Austin and the fan left together.\nBy satellite, HHH announces that he is offering $100,000 to anyone who can take out Goldberg (yawn...)\nJim Ross fought Coach and took his job back (predictably...) The \"country whippin'\" aspect meant a leather strap that never actually came into play in the match, except JR used it to drive Bischoff away when he came down to try and interfere. After a pretty sloppy Stone Cold Stunner, JR took the pin and won his job (and Lawler's) back. The King joined JR in the ring to celebrate, then Stone Cold showed up waving a (apparently \"John's\") ticket. They shared a beer moment.\nAfter the break, JR and the King were back in place at the announce table.\nTerri interviewed Lita in the ring about her new book, but the interview was interrupted by Molly Holly and Gail Kim who attacked Lita until Trish ran down to the rescue. Trish and Lita were getting some back when Victoria ran down and changed the odds. Trish and Lita were left laying...\nHurricane came down to take on the monster, Kane and got his butt whipped again, though he got in a few licks as well. In the end, he was defeated pretty easily.\nStevie Richards tried to collect HHH's bounty on Goldberg during a backstage interview. He didn't...\nEvolution, in the persons of Ric Flair and Randy Orton came down after the break to take on Shawn Michaels and Goldberg in a tag team main event. The announcers were busy building up the absurd proposition that Michaels would turn on his partner for the $100,000...right...because he and HHH used to be best friends...right... This one went pretty much as expected. During the first pairing, Flair got into a test of strength with Mr. Bill. orton came in illegally to help his partner - so Michaels started to enter the ring as well, only to be stopped by the referee...right... Moment later HBK came in for real and was immediately isolated for several minutes. When Goldberg finally got into the match he cleaned house and was winding things up when Rodney Mack ran in and attacked him. Meanwhile, Mark Henry attacked Michaels and rammed his head into the ring steps, busting his forehead wide open. Goldberg dispatched Mack and won the match via DQ.\nChristian defended his Intercontinental Title against Rob Van Dam in a ladder match. of course, someone forgot to remind Christian that RVD was doing ladder matches in ECW long before he had his first one in the WWE. RVD basically showed Christian how ladder matches are supposed to go, and defeated him to become the new IC Champ.\nNot a bad show, but kind of predictable.",

        "raw_content": "Tribeca 2018: Richard Raymond talks Souls of Totality\nTom Cullen and Tatiana Maslany in the path of totality. From SOULS OF TOTALITY.\nAs the 2018 Tribeca Film Festival kicked off, director Richard Raymond spoke with Solzy at the Movies about the short film, Souls of Totality.\nRichard Raymond: Very well. This is my first major film festival for any of my films. I couldn\u2019t be happier. I\u2019m so proud of the team and everyone\u2019s effort to be here. It\u2019s been great\u2014really great.\nHow much of a thrill is it to hold the New York premiere of the film at Tribeca?\nRichard Raymond: It\u2019s crazy. I lived in New York for five years. I would always see the festival every year and would always have the hope that we would have a film here. To actually be here with this film has been amazing. The chance to meet the filmmakers\u2014the caliber is very high and the quality is very good. Just to really meet everybody\u2014all the writers and directors\u2014is something that I\u2019m most looking forward to, really.\nRichard Raymond: The project was a very organic thing. I had done a feature film before and had kind of struggled for the last four years to get my next project off the ground. I felt the missing ingredient was just being creative\u2014just creating again to start the development process and start talking about it. My wife and I had a baby and our nanny said that she lived in Oregon and in two months, there was a solar eclipse\u2014this was last summer\u2014we should go up and see the solar eclipse. Two friends of ours, Ben Bolea and Kate Trefry\u2014a husband-and-wife writing team\u2014they also said, \u201cWhoa, we want to join. We want to go see the solar eclipse. We\u2019ll all go camping in Oregon.\u201d\nThen the two actors, Tom Cullen and Tatiana Maslany\u2014they moved to LA and we saw them for dinner. I said, \u201cYou guys should join us.\u201d They said, \u201cYeah, we\u2019ll go camping so we\u2019ll go together.\u201d Right then and there at the dinner, I had this epiphany. I\u2019ve got writers, I\u2019ve got actors, and I\u2019m a director\u2014let\u2019s make a film! The problem was we didn\u2019t have a script and the eclipse was four weeks away.\nThe next day, I got on a flight with my wife to Oregon and we did a scout with no script\u2014no idea of what the film would be of these locations. I\u2019ve found a farm and a bus. I said to Ben and Kate, \u201cThese are the locations we\u2019ve got. Can you please come up with a short film? My only pre-requisite is that the end is the uncut 5 minute sequence during a real solar eclipse.\u201d Something that I found out has never been done in cinema before. Anytime you had seen an eclipse in cinema, it\u2019s always been VFX. This is the chance to do something really immersive. They\u2014thank G-d, two weeks before we started filming\u2014came up with this wonderful idea of relationship story and the things you don\u2019t want to say set in a cult\u2014I don\u2019t want to ruin it too much. It became Souls of Totality. It was the most amazing thing. We had a crew predominantly made up of actors who had never been crew before. Being crew, for them, the film was an apprenticeship. It was a really amazing makeshift environment. We just went and shot the film. There were no egos involved. Everyone was in it for the experience of seeing and being part of the solar eclipse in a very singular way and it worked out. It was a very organic experience.\nWas there ever any thought to developing this as a feature film?\nRichard Raymond: I\u2019ve had a few calls about that but we feel that it works so well as a short film. One of the biggest compliments that we get from short is that when people watch it, even though its 18 minutes long, they feel they\u2019ve had a full meal. It\u2019s almost as if it they\u2019ve watched a feature. It exists perfectly as it is. I don\u2019t want to try and make it into anything else. There could be things that are inspired by that story later on in the future but right now, we\u2019re just here with this.\nIn directing Tatiana Maslany and Tom Cullen, what were you looking for with regards to their performances?\nRichard Raymond: To allow them to be as naturalistic as possible. That\u2019s their go-to instinct\u2014both of them. They\u2019re always looking for what\u2019s real. They don\u2019t like things being melodramatic, fake, or forced. For me, I just felt to allow them to exist in the scene, which is why I chose to do these long single takes so we could get these little gifts of improvisation that they give as actors. They\u2019re also a real-life couple so you get this beautiful chemistry that exists on a subconscious level that you wouldn\u2019t get with just two normal actors that had met the day before and had done a day\u2019s rehearsal. Really, just allow their performances to breathe and to exist in their own space.\nWith the film set during the total eclipse, what would have happened if you didn\u2019t get the right shot last August?\nRichard Raymond: I wouldn\u2019t be here! Someone called it a high-wire act with no safety net. I think I was just unaware of the risks that we were taking. I just fully believed it was going to happen. We rehearsed for four days before the eclipse. We timed it to the NASA GPS locations from the beginning to the end of totality. It all came down to two people, really, which were Tatiana Maslany and Tom Cullen. Also, Jarin Blaschke, our director of photography, who was operating as well. Those were the people that were performing on the day. Our first assistant director, Doug Metzger\u2014he really ensured that everything was done to the times. It worked because of everyone\u2019s dedication but also we had a lot of luck. There was no plan B. There was no second take!\nThanks again for your time and congrats on the film. Enjoy the NY premiere!\nRichard Raymond: Thank you very much.\nSouls of Totality holds its New York premiere on April 19, 2018 at 7 PM with subsequent screenings to follow during the festival. The film, which stars Tatiana Maslany and Tom Cullen, premiered at during Cinequest as a part of the Maverick Spirit Awards Event with Tatiana Maslany and Tom Cullen.\nRichard Raymond, Souls of Totality, Tribeca Film Festival\nPrevious Post Previous post: Tribeca 2018: Rachel Myers talks Wendy\u2019s Shabbat\nNext Post Next post: Tribeca 2018: Stockholm\nOne thought on \u201cTribeca 2018: Richard Raymond talks Souls of Totality\u201d\nPingback: The Solzy Awards for Short Films - Solzy at the Movies",

        "raw_content": "The Universe makes sure we never get bored by providing a constant stream of mysteries and surprises. Last week the surprise for astronomers was that a single galaxy, which has been observed many times, turned out to be two separate galaxies! The pair seen in this picture are lined-up almost perfectly on the sky, which had fooled astronomers for years.\nThe closer galaxy, seen in pink, is called UGC 10288. It is a spiral galaxy, but from our viewpoint on Earth we are seeing it edge-on, which is why it looks very thin. The farther galaxy (seen in blue) is nearly 7 billion light-years away. Two giant jets shoot away from the top and bottom of this galaxy, one of which is seen in this photograph.\nThe new observations have turned out to be very lucky for astronomers. They've pulled the curtain back, revealing the disguised duo and providing scientists with an opportunity to learn new facts about the nearer galaxy. Using light from the background galaxy, which travels through the nearer one and into our telescopes, we can measure the features of the nearer galaxy more accurately.\nOne thing revealed by the improved images of UGC 10288 is that stars are not forming in it as quickly as we first thought. This is because many of the previous measurements of the galaxy included light from the background galaxy, too.\nThe jet you can see rising from the galaxy in this picture is gigantic. Just ten of them lined up would stretch the entire length of our Galaxy!",

        "raw_content": "Club: FC Flora Tallinn | Opening: 2001 | Capacity: 10,340 seats\nThe A. Le Coq Arena, previously called Lillekula Stadium, is the largest football stadium of Estonia and the home of the national team.\nThe stadium was built in 2001, and replaced Kadriorg Stadium as Estonia\u2019s principal football venue. Lillekula Stadium officially opened on 2 June 2001 with the Estonia vs Netherlands World Cup qualifier (2-4).\nOne year later, the stadium got renamed A. Le Coq Arena following a naming rights sponsorship deal with a local beer brewer.\nThe A. Le Coq Arena has been selected to host the 2018 European Super Cup. The stadium will be expanded to a capacity of 15,000 for the occasion.\nHow to get to A. Le Coq Arena\nThe A. Le Coq Arena is located in the south-west of Tallinn at roughly 2 kilometres from the southern edge of Tallinn\u2019s old town. The walk from Tallinn\u2019s old town takes a little under 30 minutes.\nThe stadium lies a short walk away from train station Lillekula. There is very frequent service from Tallinn\u2019s main railway station to Lillekula, which is one the routes towards Passkula in the south-west of Tallinn and beyond. The journey takes only 3 minutes.\nAlternatively, you can also catch a train to Kitsekula station, which is at similar distance from the A. Le Coq Arena as Lillekula station. It is one the routes going towards the town of Aegviidu in the east of Estonia. The journey takes 5 minutes. Service is slightly less frequent than towards Lillekula though.\nThere are furthermore various buses and trams that can be used to get to the stadium. Tram 3 and 4 run along the wide Parnu Maantee avenue east of the stadium and can be useful if coming from the east of the centre. Get off at stop Vineeri or Tallinn-Vaike, from where it\u2019s a 10-minute walk to the stadium.\nBus 5, 18, 20, 20A, 28, 32, and 36 also run along Parnu Maantee, while bus 23 stops closer to the stadium (stop Kotka) but takes a longer route to get there.\nAddress: Asula 4c, 11312 Tallinn\nEat, drink, and sleep near A. Le Coq Arena\nThe A. Le Coq Arena lies hemmed in between railway lines and other sports facilities. The surroundings are mostly leafy quiet residential neighbourhoods and there is little around in terms of eating and drinking, which is better done in Tallinn\u2019s pleasant city centre.\nThere aren\u2019t any hotels directly near the A. Le Coq Arena, but Tatari 53 Hotel, Lillekula Hotel, and Nepi Hotell are some basic but decent options within 10 minutes walking from the stadium. The Kreutzwald Hotel is a higher-end alternative a little further away while there are also plenty of apartment rentals in the area.\nClick here for an overview of hotels near the A. Le Coq Arena, and here to explore more options in and around Tallinn\u2019s city centre.\nFlora Tallinn Tickets\nTickets for Flora Tallinn games can be bought on the gate before the start of the match. Expect to pay \u20ac5.00 for a ticket.\nFlora never sell out in the league, and while their attendances are the highest in Estonia, the typical match isn\u2019t attended by more than a few hundred spectators.\nFlora may play a number of low-profile games at the smaller adjacent Sportland Arena.\nPhotos of A.

        "raw_content": "Clive Owen, Alan Rickman and Saskia Reeves in Close My Eyes (1991)\nSaskia Reeves and Clive Owen in Close My Eyes (1991)\nClose My Eyes was made for Film Four in 1991. It was released theatrically and received great critical acclaim, won several awards and ran in the cinema for 8 months. Inspired by one of Poliakoff\u2019s early stage successes, Hitting Town, it traces an incestuous relationship between Richard (Clive Owen) and his sister Natalie (Saskia Reeves) during one blistering hot summer. Alan Rickman gives a remarkable performance as Sinclair, Natalie\u2019s dominating husband, in this intense story, filmed in strong vivid colours.\nThe locations in the film move from the lush Home Counties atmosphere where Natalie and Sinclair live, to the rebuilding of Docklands where Richard is working as an environmental activist, to the secretive world of mansion flats in central London. Canary Wharf is seen in the film as a ghost town, shrouded in scaffolding, as it rises on the edge of the Thames.\nThe film was widely interpreted at the time as a metaphor for the last moments of Margaret Thatcher\u2019s reign in England and was filmed in the summer of 1990, one of the hottest of the century.\nAmong the awards the film won was the Evening Standard Best British Film of the Year Award.\nAvailable to download on Film4.",

        "raw_content": "This is a studio session for Sudhakar Iyer who was looking to update and enhance his profile. I'm sometimes asked where the better headshot would happen. In the studio or on location. The issue is really budget and how much time you have to allocate to the session. It also depends on how good a model you are. That is how relaxed your expressions are and how long it takes to get the kind of takes you're looking for. The studio most always produces better results for a number of reasons. The most important is that you have dedicated a chunk of time to the task. When I go to someone's office it's usually because they are looking to save time and can't be out of pocket very long. They're never really checked out of work and unless their a great model their expression often suffers due to the preoccupation. The other factor is that when I'm brought on location it is usually to shoot a number of people. When lighting a group of people we have to maintain a consistent look so the lighting isn't is as flexible. Depending on the shape of your face we can really dial in a lighting set-up that is most suited to you. Like anything, individual attention and focus of purpose usually produces the best results.",

        "raw_content": "You are at:Home\u00bbStreet Insider\u00bbChina\u2019s Big Dilemma: Increasing Labor Costs\nChina\u2019s Big Dilemma: Increasing Labor Costs\nBy Jacob Maslow on\t February 15, 2015 Street Insider\nUsually, when people think about increasing labor costs, the first country to come to mind are, of course, developed countries like the United States, Germany, or Western Europe. Few people would readily say China. But if you look at rising labor costs on a percentage basis, China is up there. This should not be a surprise. Thanks to China\u2019s one-child policy, they are running out of laborers. As the average Chinese person becomes older and wealthier, the willingness and patience to work at a factory is wearing thin.\nNot surprisingly, there are fundamental changes in China\u2019s manufacturing infrastructure that should make many Western investors take notice. If you don\u2019t think developments in China\u2019s labor market and overall economy won\u2019t affect you, think again. As China\u2019s economy suffers from its labor issues, expect the shock waves to affect your local stock market.\nThe Problem With Wealth: People Expect More\nThe problem with China\u2019s labor base is that they are increasingly becoming wealthy. As Chinese-manufactured products dominate the world, factory owners are under increasing pressure to share some of those profits with their workers. Instead of making workers happier, this has actually created an impossible situation. Workers have developed an increasing entitlement mentality. Getting a yearly increase is not enough. It has to not just beat inflation, but it has to come at a premium. People are just simply expecting more.\nNot surprisingly, an increasing number of Chinese are looking at factory work as beneath them. This explains the next trend outlined below.\nManufacturing is a Westward Trek\nKeep in mind that manufacturing in China was primarily a coastal reality. Coastal regions like the region around Shenzhen, Southern China and areas around Shanghai were the first to become rich under China\u2019s move to capitalism. However, as these areas became more developed, the people who lived here no longer wanted to work in factories. They looked at that as beneath them.\nNot surprisingly, China had to import millions of workers from the interior of China. Well, this development has stopped as factories have started to move westward towards the Muslim areas and sparsely populated interior areas of China. This is actually a positive development as these areas have historically been poor. As more and more factories move into Tibet, and the Chinese are becoming wealthier, this has led to an overall stabilization as far as political discontent is concerned.\nThe good news is that, while there are going to be continuous disruptions and causes for upheaval, on the whole, this all leads to a happy ending. Why? This is exactly what happened in the United States. When the United States industrialized, there were lots of sweatshops. There were lots of factories with truly horrible conditions. But as capitalism took hold and the country fully developed, you don\u2019t see that anymore.\nThe same is happening to China. There will be a westward movement of manufacturing, until it completely leaves China for another low-wage country. That is just part of economic evolution.",

        "title": "St. Theophan Academy: Why I Home Educate",
        "raw_content": "I began this post over a month ago, and have come back to it over and over again, trying to write it in a way that expresses what I feel, and sounds neither arrogant nor condemning. Please forgive me if I have failed.\nWhy do I homeschool?\nI have pondered this question often, perhaps even more so recently as I look hard at my life and my goals for my children. Of all the questions I get about homeschooling, this is the one they never ask. Perhaps they don't want to know. Perhaps they think I will make them feel guilty. Perhaps they already know the answer, or think they know the answer. When I look at my choice, I often think about how quick some are to \"evangelize\" the world about homeschooling; feeling compelled to personally convince everyone around them they have made the right choice, or to convince others they should make the same choice themselves. That is not a desire I have ever really had. I do not feel the need to \"preach\" to anyone about homeschooling, and I think most of my non-homeschool friends would agree (at least I hope they would agree!) that I do not make it my business to convince anyone who does not have the desire. I will defend my decision without hesitation when called upon to do so. I will answer questions about homeschooling, I will give advice if asked, but it is not my place to convince someone else that my decision is right for them also. So again, I ask myself, why have we chosen to educate our children at home?\nThe answer is easy, and yet so very complicated.\nI home educate because it is the right thing to do. I say that not with condemnation or judgment - just conviction that for my children it is the right thing to do. There are many other explanations I can give - but ultimately for me, it is a matter of feeling as if God has put me in a place where my purpose right now is to train up my children in the way they should go. I feel that I cannot effectively do that when someone else (who does not share my faith, values and beliefs) spends more time with my children than I do.\nSo, why do I homeschool?\nI want our children to learn to walk in the Orthodox faith and become saints.\nI want them to see that nothing in life comes before their love and dedication to God and His Church.\nI want them to see that all learning is for God's glory, all learning exists for GOD.\nI want them to learn to read so they can read the Holy Scripture and the lives of those who have walked before us and given their lives in the pursuit of eternal life.\nI want them to learn grammar and spelling, logic and rhetoric, so they are able to become effective speakers and writers, and defend their faith to those who persecute them. That they, like St. Katherine, may baffle and win over even the great philosophers with the simple truth of God.\nI want them to learn history so they may see God's hand over all, his love for his people and his wrath when they reject Him.\nI want them to learn science and math so they may understand that we worship a God of order, not chaos; so they may stand in awe before the mind of God, so beyond our understanding.\nI want them to experience the great masters of art and music, so they can see that we worship a God of beauty and harmony, and to strive toward that beauty and harmony in all areas of life.\nI want them to read great literature so they may see how every story is just a part of the only story; so they may learn to discern truth and recognize when God is absent that truth becomes distorted.\nThere are many other reasons why I love homeschooling, but they are merely \"benefits\" to the job - extra perks I enjoy such as the freedom to allow my children to spend the day with Daddy when he is off on a week day, the ability to just stay home and not leave the house if I don't want to, the chance to see my children learn to read, the privilege of being the one to introduce them to the books and characters I hold so dear from my childhood, the opportunity to let my children pursue areas of learning which inspire them, the joy of letting my children spend hours outside exploring creation, the chance for them to be with each other and form friendships among themselves, the time to allow the older ones to be a part of the little ones lives as they grow, instead of being off at school all day, the luxury of just deciding to pick up and do something wonderful when the opportunity presents itself, and not be ruled by the school schedule.... I could go on, but then it might start sounding \"preachy\" - and I promised not to do that :)\nSo, while I recognize that some day circumstances may require that my children go to school, for now, when they are so young and impressionable, I will treasure the time God gives me with them, and do my best to live up to the job he has called me to do.\nThat is simply beautiful.\nI concur...it is simply beautiful.\nWhat a beautiful post. Although we're not homeschooling (at this point at least) I envy those of you who are! :)\nBTW, the picture on your blog is wonderful!\nI've read through this numerous times and just love it so much. It is so well put.\nI am wanting to have a \"philosophy\" for our home education and I want it written down. I was wondering if I could use this as a template in creating my own?\nsusan sophia -\nyou are welcome to use any and all of it! It certainly is not all original to me. I have read so many other homeschoolers' philosophies as I tried to put mine into words and I am sure I have taken things from many others. BTW - I so enjoy seeing the photos of your farm - our modest area is nothing compared to what you are doing, but I do so love vegetables from our garden, and apples from our trees - and it is fun to see all the wonderful things you all produce!\nI was wondering if sometime you might be willing to share with the blogging world what your daily schedule might look like. I have MOTH and Holly's book but still this is by far one of my biggest hurdles...planning and scheduling. You have four children like I do (although younger I think) and I just wonder what your day might look like.\nThank you! (regarding the farm) I feel my efforts are very modest but a dream I've always had. I hope my garden will get bigger every year. It's hard to garden in this part of the country because of so much rain.\nI'm so glad to have found your blog.\nschedule posts are in progress, I was trying to put together the posts on my teacher planner, which includes my schedule and other things, just have not managed to finish it all (and homeschool at the same time :) But, yes, I will be posting on our routines soon.\nWow! Well-said! You expressed some of the very things on my own heart. Kindred spirits! I'm linking this post from my blog - hope that's ok.\nLike the others, I look forward to your schedule/organizer posts.\nVery nicely put! I've often thought of posting on this topic but can never seem to pull together the right words as you have done so well. I LOVE homeschooling and hope that God will make it my calling for many more years!\nFound you through Doing the Next Thing and I'll be sure to return. Lovely blog header!\nI've read a lot of answers to this question but none as clear and God honoring as this. Wonderful!\nltoft said...\nThat is an awesome answer to the question. At times I wish I had the personality to do exactly what you do and I appreciate the way you did not condemn me, and those like me, for not.\nKandTsMom said...\nWell said! Thanks for posting this...\nBy the way, I love the ideas of the boxes for Holy Week! Someone else from our parish found them and posted a link to your blog on Facebook... It wasn't until I scrolled through your other blog and saw pictures (including my family in church!) from the homeschooling conference, that I figured out who you are!\nBlessed Holy Week, and a glorious Pascha to you and your family!\nI know that blog discouragement and wondering if anyone is reading. i am! And as I have wrestled with the questions of home educating, I appreciate the journey you are on. Your ideas have blessed me!",

        "raw_content": "Shared Vision: Training & Career Development in Wolverhampton\nThe Current Job Market and Employment Opportunities in Wolverhampton\nWith an approximate population of 300,000, Wolverhampton is the third largest city in the West Midlands area. Traditionally, Wolverhampton was known as a market town that traded mostly with wool, steel, coal, and iron. Today, and much like in the case of other British cities, the major source of employment in Wolverhampton is the service sector, which accounts for approximately 75 per cent of all jobs in Wolverhampton (over 23,000 jobs). Jobs in this sector are available in the fields of public administration, health care, education, hospitality, catering, distribution and logistics, information technology, and finance.\nThe single largest employer is Wolverhampton City Council, which provides jobs to more than 12,000 people. Other key employers are the local NHS Trust, the City of Wolverhampton College, and the University of Wolverhampton. Other areas, such as finance, information technology, and business services are expected to grow by 19 per cent over the coming years, with some of the main employers being Birmingham Midshires and the Portman Building Society. Most companies in these sectors are clustered around the city's business and science parks, notably the Wolverhampton Business Park, Pendeford Business Park, and the Wolverhampton Science Park.\nOther thriving industries in Wolverhampton include engineering, aerospace, and manufacturing, in particular iron, steel, and motor vehicle manufacturing. Important employers in these sectors are Corus, Boulton Paul Aircrafts, Smiths Aerospace, Sunbeam, H S Marston, AJS, Kieft Cars, and Guy Motors.\nProfessional career development in Wolverhampton\nThe University of Wolverhampton Business School is the prime choice for students who wish to earn a degree in a business related field. This institution offers a BA in Business Management and several degrees in specialist business areas like finance, accounting, international business management, human resources management, and marketing. Students have the option of signing up for placements and internships after their second year. Higher national diplomas and foundation degrees are also available. The school also offers a range of postgraduate courses and professional accreditations, including master degrees in coaching and mentoring, leadership, innovation and entrepreneurship, as well as diplomas in management studies, employability and enterprise, and many others.\nApprenticeships are another way of improving your employment prospects. In Wolverhampton, apprenticeship schemes are offered in the industries that contribute the most to the local economy, such as business administration, catering, hospitality, and distribution. For further information you may contact the Rathbone Centre, Connexions Wolverhampton, the City of Wolverhampton College, and the city council.\nIf you are a local employer or an organisation in need of business mentoring and support, you may benefit from the training offered by the University of Wolverhampton Business Academy. The academy runs a series of half-day workshops over the course of three months, coupled with in-company mentoring sessions that will provide you with the most innovative business tools.\nAnother event of interest to local businesspeople is the annual Crystal Lecture, organised by the University of Wolverhampton Business School and the Chartered Management Institute. The lecture is delivered by successful businessmen on topics like leadership, sustainable business, and empowerment, in addition to providing a great opportunity for networking. Further networking opportunities are provided by groups like the Wolverhampton Business Network, Refer-On Wolverhampton Business Group, Wings Business Network, the local chapter of BNI, the Black Country Chamber of Commerce, and Wolverhampton City Council. The Black Country Chamber of Commerce is also an important provider of business and workplace skills training, as it offers short courses on the topics of information technology, management, and human resources.\nYou'll find more information about business training companies and services on Actual Wolverhampton.\nRecommended by Prime Office Space, the commercial property partner for Shared Vision: Training & Career Development in Wolverhampton.\nYork Street Offices\nBerry Street Offices\nCleveland Street Offices\nAll Saints Road Offices\nWaterloo Road Offices",

Another gunfight ensues, one of the S.I.S. members are killed and Vic gets away.\nHaving one of the top killers getting away, the L.A.P.D. is not exactly happy with the S.I.S. team and are considering disbanding the group.\nAs for Melville's team, with the death of one of their own, because of the mistake, they don't know if they can work with Melville. The S.I.S. team consists of:\n* Matt Nable (Melville Atkinson) - A no nonsense cop who does what he can to catch the bad guys. Unfortunately, sometimes his way of trying to make the bad guys fear him and resorting to methods not approved by the L.A.P.D. has given him a bad name among criminals.\n* Omari Hardwick (Donovan Rivers) - Melville's partner. Levelheaded and believes in luck. He carries a lucky rabbit's foot with him.\n* Colleen Porch (Jayne Sorenson) - A mother who is trying to balance life as a member of S.I.S. and raising her son.\n* Keith David (Assistant Chief Joseph Armstrong) - The head honcho of the S.I.S., under intense pressure and scrutiny by his peers of the L.A.P.D., he tries to keep his team in line, knowing that his team can't afford to make any more mistakes.\nMeanwhile, Vic and his team continue to murder and rape innocents and continue their jewelry heists. While the S.I.S. has its problems, another police officer named Billy is about to kill himself.\nAfter shooting an innocent girl, Billy and the L.A.P.D. are being sued. As for Billy, his depression worsens as the image of the girl he accidentally killed haunts him. With Billy about to attempt suicide, he gets a call from the assistant chief Joseph Armstrong of the S.I.S. who needs a new member for their group and to be given a second chance. Meanwhile, lawyers for the slain girl's family has an investigator following Billy to have any information that will aid their case against him.\nWith a new member in their team, Melville and Billy must work together quickly to catch Vic and his henchman before they kill again.\n\"S.I.S. Special Investigation Section\" is featured in 1:78:1 anamorphic widescreen and in English 5.1 (Dolby Digital) audio.\nThere are no special features but there are trailers for other film and television series.\nCurrently, \"S.I.S. Special Investigation Section\" is airing on SPIKE TV. This DVD features the made-for-TV film that aired in August of 2008 and overall, the film is gritty, dark and really showcasing how cold the criminal Vic and his followers are.\nThe film succeeds in making you hate Vic as he, his girlfriend and brother just rob people and when they get their address, go to their homes and rape and kill the people living in the residence. These people are very sadistic and have no remorse.\nSo, you pretty much root for the S.I.S. but unlike many cop shows where there are heroes ala \"Lethal Weapon\", the S.I.S. are officers who have their faults and just hope they have what it takes to take on criminals.\nIf anything, the film is more of a primer for the TV series. The film doesn't end with a conclusion, it's more of a \"get a taste of what to expect from the upcoming TV series and watch if you want to know how it ends\".\nThe film's storyline was very dark and gritty. Definitely not a film to expect any happy moments because the characters themselves are gloomy, their careers are deadly and for some characters, their lives are just as gloomy and you just hope by the end of the film, something good comes their way. But by the film's end that hope for something good doesn't come. In fact, the film is without a final conclusion and it might tick some people off who watch and find out that they will need to stay tuned to the television series to find out how it all ends.\nNevertheless, after watching the film, I did like the potential of \"S.I.S. Special Investigation Section\" and if the dark, gritty and suspenseful storyline is continued in the television series, then I'll definitely give the series a try.\"",

A vague little tagline \u2013 in its infancy at that point and with no conception of what it would grow into \u2013 was brought the attention of Wells Rich Greene advertising agency by William S. Doyle, Deputy Commissioner of the New York State Department of Commerce. Doyle then went on to recruit Milton Glaser, an as then unknown graphic designer. At the direction of Wells Rich Greene\u2019s campaign, Doyle created the now unmistakable and iconic symbol of New York love.

What was popular and trendy today may not be popular and trendy tomorrow; and what was in style thirty years ago is sure to rear its ugly head again in years to come. The same goes for colors: the neons of the 80\u2019s made a brief comeback a few years ago; the pastels of the 70\u2019s are having their time in the sun again as we speak. In fact, color trends are so mercurial that one company, Pantone, releases a highly-sought after expert opinion every year to enlighten us all about the Color of the Year. Want to know what it is? Read the rest of the article. [Read more\u2026]\nHow a T-Shirt is Printed\nIt\u2019s amazing how much work is put into the production of a single T-shirt. We all wear our own or see other people\u2019s T-shirts sporting prints on a daily basis, but who could claim that they\u2019re aware of the actual work and care that goes into manufacturing a single item? A day in production spent at a T-shirt printing company shed light on how the print goes on the tee.\nThe T-shirt producing industry \u2013 similar to other sectors of manufacturing \u2013 sees everyone involved rise very early. The gates on the shop floor open at 6am, so the alarm bells of most people involved chime at around 4am.\nBefore a T-shirt produced at a print-on-demand company eventually gets delivered to the person who ordered it, a good many tricks and ruses of professional experts need to be applied out first. Instructed by computer software, the exact position of where the design foil is supposed to be placed on the T-shirt is determined. Then, customised plot printers kitted out with small knives release different colour layers from plotting several differently coloured plotting foils in the next step. At bigger print-on-demand companies, this leads to a print foil consumption in the size of a football field in a matter of a day. A very colourful field at that, considering that the average apparel printing company has about 60 different colours at its disposal.

Younger audiences may know him best as Police Commissioner Gordon in the feature \"Batman\" series, but some may recognize him as the conflicted police chief father of a catatonic rapist in Clint Eastwood's \"Sudden Impact\" (1983) or as mob boss Bobo Justice, who comes west to teach a painful lesson to Anjelica Huston about skimming mob money at the track, in \"The Grifters\" (1990). Equally comfortable in the Old West, he unjustly sentenced Eastwood to death in Ted Post's \"Hang 'Em High\" (1968), strode the prairie in such oaters as \"Nevada Smith\" (1966) and \"Invitation to a Gunfighter\" (1964) and even lent some iconic authority to his small role as a bartender in Sam Raimi's \"The Quick and the Dead\" (1995). In addition to his feature work, Hingle worked frequently on TV and in regional theater during the 90s, most notably as Big Daddy in \"Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,\" before returning to Broadway as Benjamin Franklin in the revival of \"1776\" (1997).\nList, The (2007)\nWaltzing Anna (2006)\nRoad to Redemption (2001) Nathan Tucker\nRunaway, The (2000) Avery\nShaft (2000) Honorable Dennis Bradford\nMuppets From Space (1999) General Luft\nMember of the Wedding, The (1997) Officer Wylie\nThousand Acres, A (1997) Harold Clark\nBatman & Robin (1997) Commissioner Gordon\nAgain played Commissioner Gordon for Joel Schumacher's \"Batman Forever\"\nCast opposite Will Ferrell in the comedy \"Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby\"\nPlayed J.

        "title": "Walker: 2-year delay for Zoo Interchange, but no tax hike - Transportation Development Association of Wisconsin",
        "raw_content": "Walker: 2-year delay for Zoo Interchange, but no tax hike 9/14/2016\n9/14/2016, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel \u2013 The state would provide more money for local roads and existing highways but delay by at least two years a series of major projects, including the rebuilding of the Zoo Interchange and a section of I-94 between Milwaukee and the Illinois border, according to a plan from Gov. Scott Walker\u2019s administration.\nThe 2017-\u201919 budget proposal from the GOP governor\u2019s Department of Transportation would cut $447.4 million over two years from state highway programs while providing $69.7 million more for maintenance and $65 million more for local governments and their roads.\nPDF: Budget proposal summary\nWalker and aides said that the plan meets his pledge to close a nearly $1 billion two-year hole in the transportation fund without raising gas taxes.\n\u201cThis budget provides more funding to local governments for their roads and bridges, keeps borrowing at historically low levels, and maintains our no tax or fee increase pledge,\u201d Walker said in a statement. \u201cThis budget proves you don\u2019t have to raise taxes or fees to maintain a safe and strong transportation network.\u201d\nThe Milwaukee Journal Sentinel received an early look at the plan, which the DOT will submit Thursday and the governor will use as he crafts the budget bill he\u2019ll send to lawmakers in February. Walker will tour the state Thursday to tout the proposal, including two stops at projects that his administration wants to keep on track at a cost of more than $500 million over two years: I-39/90 from the Illinois state line to Madison; and Highway 10/441 in the Fox Valley.\nBut Assembly Speaker Robin Vos (R-Rochester) said that the Walker administration plan would forego permanent answers in favor of a \u201cpolitical solution\u201d that would lead to longer delays on ever more expensive projects. Doing maintenance on outdated highways is akin to putting a new roof on a house that has been condemned, he said.\n\u201cI\u2019m concerned that his solution does nothing more than kick the can down the road for two years,\u201d Vos said.\nThe DOT proposal would also authorize $500 million in new borrowing, down from $850 million in debt approved in the current budget. That amount of new bonds is expected to ensure that in the coming years no more than 25 cents out of every dollar in the state transportation fund is used to pay off debt, state officials said.\nThe fund currently spends about three times as much to pay off existing debt as it did in 1999, a trend that has even some GOP lawmakers questioning whether a tax increase would be more fiscally responsible.\nUnder the plan, the DOT would spend $6.5 billion over the next budget, down from $6.8 billion in the current one.\nThe proposal would result in significant delays for some of the state\u2019s major projects:\nCompleting work on the Zoo Interchange in Milwaukee would take another two years, extending the work until 2022. The core of the project would be finished by 2020, but work on its north leg would take longer.\nNo funding would be put into the $1.6 billion plan to reconstruct the leg of I-94 south of Milwaukee. That will mean a new set of delays for a project that has already been relegated to the back burner. The project has long been a priority for Vos, whose district is in the area.\nWork on Highways 18 and 151 on Madison\u2019s south side would be delayed for two more years, with completion pushed off from 2019 to 2021.\nHighway 15 in the Fox Valley would face a one-year delay, meaning it would not be finished until 2022.\nHighway 23 between Fond du Lac and Plymouth would be delayed for three more years. That project is already on hold because of litigation.\nConservatives like Sen. Duey Stroebel (R-Saukville) immediately praised Walker\u2019s plan for holding the line on taxes.\nBut Pat Goss, the executive director of the Wisconsin Transportation Builders Association, said he was concerned the proposal would harm economic development, particularly in southeastern Wisconsin.\n\u201cI think it hurts our ability to compete in the global marketplace,\u201d he said.\nThe nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau has projected a $939 million transportation shortfall for the state over the next two years. To close it, Walker and lawmakers could decrease spending, increase taxes and fees or turn to more borrowing.\nThe DOT proposal, however, doesn\u2019t provide a full picture of what Walker and lawmakers might do, since it doesn\u2019t take into account money that elected officials might shift to roads from other budget priorities such as education or health care.\nAll of these options carry an impact for taxpayers.\nFor instance, the current budget didn\u2019t include enough money for all of the DOT\u2019s plans, so projects around the state were delayed, including the expansion of I-39/90 from the Illinois state line to Madison.",

        "raw_content": "Most of us have heard the adage: \"One man's trash is another man's treasure.\" The value of something or somebody is \"in the eye of the beholder.\" A man marooned on a remote island, all alone, would rather have within his grasp ample food supplies and fresh water than treasure chests of gold and diamonds.\nWorth and value are often subjective personal assessments, contingent upon attending circumstances. When I was a Christian parish pastor, I had the privilege of ministering to one of the richest (money) personalities in the area. An accident coupled with older age cut his life short. Not once during my death bed visit with this gentleman did he make mention of his earthly wealth. When I think of it, all the people that I have visited on their death beds never spoke of their material possessions. Family, loved ones, and concern over one's own soul are usually first and foremost their ready topics of conversation and discussion.\nThe Wealth of Wisdom offered in the person of Christ who died on a Roman cross:\nNo greater wealth can be had, than in the \"Wisdom of God.\" This wisdom is wonderfully described in the New Testament Christian Scriptures of 1st Corinthians 1:18-2:16. Last week I briefly touched on \"Wisdom -- something not often found in today's culture.\" I related that \"true wisdom is that which finds its expression in the true God.\" Proverbs 1:7\nThe Scripture makes it clear that Jesus Christ, is the Wisdom of God, (personified) [1 Corinthians 1:24 ; 1 Corinthians 1:30]. It further makes clear that Christ's life and death -- especially His ignominious death upon a Roman cross (for the sacrifice of human sin) is \"foolishness\" to them who do not [believe] accept His Divine gift. 1 Corinthians 1:20-24\nFor the most part, Jews still look for a Messiah and reject the Christ (Messiah) of the [prophesied] Hebrew Scriptures -- and, the Christ (Messiah) of the [fulfilled] New Testament Scriptures. The Jesus Christ of the Scriptures, to them, is not their promised and genuine Messiah. Their eyes are blind to the clear divinely inspired, revealed prophetic and fulfilled, Word of God.\n\"Of Whom Does the Prophet Speak\" by By Victor Buksbazen -- an in-depth view of Isaiah 53:1f and the prophecy of Christ, hundred of years before his birth\nThe \"stumbling block\" to the Jewish people\nMost Jewish people do not and cannot accept the Christ (Messiah) of the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures. The historical Christ, is more or less an embarrassment for them. Why? Because their Messiah couldn't possibly (in their minds) suffer the fate of being crucified on a Roman cross. Roman crucifixion was only reserved for the worst of criminals. Hence, to the Jews, this idea of their Messiah being crucified was \"scandalous.\"\nThe Greek word for \"stumbling block\" is \"\u03c3\u03ba\u03ac\u03bd\u03b4\u03b1\u03bb\u03bf\u03bd\" [skandalon]. We derive our English word, \"Scandal,\" from this Greek word. Rejecting the Christ of human history who suffered and died on a Roman cross under the direction of Pontius Pilate was indeed offensive -- and still is, for the non [Christian] Jew. Yet, this was the Triune God's plan.\nIt was God's plan that Jesus Christ was to be born into human history; live a sinless life; suffer and die on a Roman cross; and then, later rise from the dead. [1 Corinthians 15:1f] God, essentially became a man [without sin] to accomplish the supreme (once for all) sacrifice for human sin and all its damning ramifications. Such an activity by a Jewish Messiah was and is offensive to unbelieving Jews. Their refusal to accept the Christ of the Scriptures [Isaiah 53:1f] is clearly stated in 1 Corinthians 1:1f as a \"stumbling block.\"\nThe preaching of Christ and his cross to the non-Jewish world, [Gentiles] is regarded as \"foolishness\" 1 Corinthians 1:20-24:\nWhy to the non-Jew is the preaching of Christ's cross such \"foolishness?\" To the non Jewish people -- those who do not believe in the Christ of the Scriptures, this message of a man dying on a cross is just too simple. To them it is insulting to human reason and intelligence. Surely there has to be some other way and some grandiose method to right the world's wrongs and absolve human beings of all the bad things that they do, and experience!\nTo those souls who don't believe in the Christ of the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures, the preaching of Jesus Christ suffering and dying upon a cross for the sacrifice of human sin, is utter foolishness. Yet, this is what the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures is all about. This divinely inspired message [2 Timothy 3:14-17] is about the God / Man person, Jesus Christ. Simple? Yes, but this is the Triune God's plan and method to provide forgiveness of human sin and save humanity [people] from sin's present devastation and eternal damnation. Romans 5:6-21 ; John 3:14-17\nFriend, never doubt the wisdom of God. Never allow your human reason to stand in the way of His offer of forgiveness for all your sins. [Isaiah 1:2-20 ; 1 Corinthians 2:1-2] Your sins are flagrant transgressions against God's laws. [Isaiah 59:1-2] Human personal sin is the cause of physical death and ends up, damning your soul. [Romans 5:12 and 5:18] Refusal to truly listen to the Triune God, to remedy your situation will seal your sorry fate. [Luke 16:19-31 ; Matthew 7:13-29] Only in the person of Christ, who was sent by God for the purpose of dealing with the world's sin disorder, can you find present and eternal peace and life eternal, rather than death, eternal. John 1:1-34\nIsaiah 53:1f -- The prophecy of the Messiah, Christ hundreds of years before His birth\nThe Gospel of John 1:1-34 -- God's plan to send Christ for the world\n1 Corinthians 1:18-2:2 -- The wisdom of God and the \"foolishness\" of preaching the Cross of Christ\nLabels: bible, Christianity, Jesus Christ, personified, scandal, scandalous, stumbling block, wisdom, wisdom of God",

        "raw_content": "The Book has interesting information related to pest\u2019s in and around the house.\nKnowing More About Termite\nCommonly referred to as the \u201cSilent Destroyers\u201d of homes, the termite has made a name for itself as one of the most destructive forces out there. Comprising a number of subspecies, termites can thrive secretly in your home and yard. When they make it to your home, the damage begins. Because they are made to destroy dead wood, almost every home is at risk. To help save your homes and belongings, below are a few things that are reviewed during a termite inspection. With any luck, you can use this quick guide to establish whether or not you have termites.\nBegin with a Quick Inspection\nGoing around the inside of your house, look at places where wood is either in contact with the exterior wall or exposed to the elements. Knock on the wood, and keep an ear out for a hollow sound. A hollow sound will mean that termites have eaten away at the interior of the wood.\nMove on the Exterior of your Home\nTermites rarely crawl around in the open. As a result they can be difficult to spot unless you know where to look. Look around the joints of your home with a keen eye towards mortar and any exposed wood. Perform the knocking test, and see if any of the wood sounds hollow. In addition, be sure to check any place where wood touches the ground, as this is often a point of entry for termites.\nExtensive Interior Inspection\nMake a note of every place that raises suspicions on the exterior of the house. Now, move into the interior and start a thorough pest control examination. Find the interior wall area that matches the exterior problem spot, and carefully look for warped wood, termite parts, or anything else that may indicate an infestation.\nAs a final few places to look, the attic and crawl space may be the perfect place to find termites hiding. With both spaces being exposed the wood holding the house up, they are both excellent places to see whether or not your home is infested with termites.\nWhere as a self-inspection never hurts, calling a professional is the best way to be absolutely sure. A professional termite inspection will rule out any doubt you have regarding whether or not you have termites. In addition, a professional termite inspector will list your pest control options incase you do need to get rid of an infestation. Either way, with a professional, you will have peace of mind.",

A poll of college students confirmed that over 50 percent suffered from low self-acceptance, with the majority citing their looks as the source of their unhappiness. \u201cMy nose is too long. My eyes are too small. I\u2019m too fat here\u2014too thin there. I\u2019m too short\u2014too tall. I\u2019ve got freckles.\u201d And the beauty industry is more than willing to darken it, lighten it, accentuate it, lift it, tuck it, and cover it up in an attempt to sell us a self-image we can accept. A little improvement might indeed be beneficial, but not as a basis for self-worth. Here\u2019s how God sees the issue: \u201cDoes the clay dispute with the one who shapes it, saying, \u2018Stop, you\u2019re doing it wrong!\u2019 Does the pot exclaim, \u2018How clumsy can you be?\u2019\u201d (Isa 45:9 NLT). You are God\u2019s personal creation. And He makes no mistakes, overlooks no details, and leaves nothing unfinished. You need to accept yourself because He created, redeemed, and accepts you. In an age of media run amok we\u2019re bombarded by images of perfect-looking people, with the inference that we need to look like them if we hope to amount to anything. But Paul says: \u201cWe do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise\u201d (2Co 10:12 NIV). The God Who made you who you are has a plan for perfecting you. You\u2019re perfectly acceptable, if not yet acceptably perfect.

But they made a defining decision to stand up for what was right, rather than bow down to what was wrong. Most of us could have come up with a dozen rationalizations: \u201cI\u2019m bowing down on the outside, but I\u2019m standing up on the inside,\u201d or \u201cI\u2019ll ask for forgiveness right after I get back up,\u201d or \u201cWhat good am I to God if I\u2019m dead?\u201d But it\u2019s our rationalizations that often annul His revelations. When we compromise our integrity, we don\u2019t leave room for divine intervention. When we take matters into our own hands, we take God out of the equation. When we try to manipulate a situation, we miss out on the miracle. If Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego had compromised their integrity and bowed to the statue, they may still have been delivered from the fiery furnace\u2014but it would have been by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, not God. And it would have been from, not through. They would have forfeited their testimony by failing the test. And while they would have saved their lives, they would have sacrificed their integrity. It was their integrity that triggered the miracle. It was their integrity that allowed God to show up and show off. Their integrity paid off: \u201cThen the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in the province of Babylon\u201d (Da 3:30 NIV).

As new technology is developed and becomes cost effective, it is being used to find the most effective way to meet supply and demand,\" Matt Wakefield, smart grid program manager at the Electric Power Research Institute .\nHow to make the power system of the future a reality, EPRI, a non-profit electric research and development company, said power companies need to invest between $17 and $24 billion a year over the next two decades. Much of those costs will be passed onto consumers.\n\"We need to tell power customers there is going to be an improved power system that will result in reduced costs even if they do not see an immediate reduction in their bill,\" said Clark Gellings an EPRI Fellow.\nBy the year 2050, EPRI estimated the average electric bill will probably go up by about 50 percent if the smart grid is deployed. If not, Gellings said, the average electric bill could go up by almost 400 percent.\nSome of the biggest technology firms in the world are competing to supply the smart grid infrastructure, including International Business Machines, General Electric, ABB, Siemens, Google, Toshiba, Cisco and Microsoft.\nLast week, Japanese multinational Toshiba agreed to buy Swiss smart grid company Landis+Gyr for $2.3 billion.\nMeeting supply and demand\nThe giant technology firms want to manufacture the devices and software needed to enable generating facilities to communicate with the equipment that uses electricity.\nIn addition to the giant technology firms, all sorts of firms in the power, renewable, appliance and auto industries can use the smart grid to interact with their customers.\nPower retailers, like NRG and Consolidated Edison's ConEdison Solutions, can use the smart grid to sell more demand response and other services.\nAppliance manufacturers, like Whirlpool and Haier Electronics, can sell more energy efficient appliances, and auto manufacturers, like Ford Motor and General Motors, can use the smart grid to power up their electric cars.\nThe nation's current power grid was not designed to meet the needs of a restructured electric marketplace, the increasing demands of a digital society or the increased use of renewable power production.\nThe grid today primarily consists of large coal, nuclear and natural gas-fired generating stations connected to local distribution networks by a high voltage network. The power flows predominantly from the power plant to the consumer.\nThe smart grid will continue to depend on large nuclear and fossil-fired power plants but also includes a substantial number of energy storage and renewable generating facilities.\nNot surprisingly, the major technology companies like GE, Siemens and Toshiba, also dominate the renewable space. But there are plenty of other wind and solar companies that can benefit from the smart grid, including FirstSolar, Sharp and Vestas Wind.\nConsumers want reliable and low cost power but increasingly they also want clean electricity.\nIn his State of the Union message in January, President Barack Obama set a goal of 80 percent clean energy by 2035 and even though he included nuclear power and clean coal in that goal, there is still a lot of room for more renewable sources.\nThe United States gets about 46 percent of its power from coal, 21 percent from natural gas and 20 percent from nuclear. Renewables, like wind and solar, generate less than 5 percent of the total, according to data from the federal government.",

        "raw_content": "\u00ab \u2018Beau Sancy\u2019 diamond sells for $9.7 million\nThousands watch as 19th c. shipwreck found in Gulf of Mexico \u00bb\nPretty Renaissance censorship\nTwo books by Renaissance humanist par excellence Desiderius Erasmus at the University of Toronto provide drastically different and unusual examples of censorship, one of them crude, the other artistic, even beautiful.\nErasmus was a scholar and Roman Catholic priest born in Holland around 1466. Although he was critical of clerical excesses, he considered himself a committed Catholic and aimed to reform the institution from the inside using reason and scholarship. Nonetheless, his work had a powerful influence on the Protestant Reformation. His 1519 edition of the New Testament in Greek was used by Martin Luther for his seminal German translation, and Erasmus had a lively, warm correspondence with Luther for years until Erasmus\u2019 rejection of some of Luther\u2019s arguments and vocal support for doctrines like Church tradition as a source of revelation and the virginity of Mary enraged the choleric cleric.\nErasmus died of dysentery in 1536. His books remained popular with Catholics and Protestants alike, but the ecclesiastical authorities were less enamored of them, especially once the Counter-Reformation of the Church took root after the Council of Trent began in 1545. In 1559, Pope Paul IV took a moment between forcing Jews into ghettos and dying to put all of Erasmus\u2019 books on the Index Librorum Prohibitorum. The censors sharpened their tools and got to work.\nSaid tools were mainly the simple black pen. The 1541 edition of the Adagiorum (meaning \u201cproverbs\u201d), a collection of Greek and Latin proverbs with annotations by Erasmus cataloged just this month in the University of Toronto\u2019s Thomas Fisher Library, is replete with crossed-out passages. The censor also appears to have written on the title page: \u201cO Erasmus, you were the first to write the praise of folly, indicating the foolishness of your own nature.\u201d That\u2019s a wicked iceburn, you see, because Erasmus\u2019 most famous book is In Praise of Folly, a satire of Church corruption among other follies. (We don\u2019t know for certain that the same person did the censoring and the iceburning, but the ink does match.)\nThe censor didn\u2019t stop there, though. He also tore out some pages and glued two other pages together. It was quality glue, too, because hundreds of years later those pages are still stuck together.\nAnother censor took an entirely different approach to silencing Erasmus. A 1538 edition of Erasmus\u2019 annotated works of Saint Ambrose, Bishop of Milan, in the Centre for Renaissance and Reformation Studies at the University of Toronto, blots out the offending notes with beautiful blocks of watercolor paint decorated along the edges with scrollwork and even a putto, a little boy cherub.\nPerhaps this censor was a book lover who didn\u2019t want to mar the work with ugly scribbles and missing pages. Perhaps he was more artist than prig. Perhaps he took more care because the book contains the religious writings of a Church father instead of a collection of pagan sayings. Whatever his reasons, he produced something quite lovely, almost making an illuminated manuscript out of a printed text. If censorship is inevitable, at least we can lie back and enjoy it.\nThis entry was posted on Wednesday, May 16th, 2012 at 11:39 PM\tand is filed under Renaissance.

Most interesting.\nIn these easy and liberal days we rail against censorship, it\u2019s just not cricket. One must agree with you though Livius, if censorship is to pop its head up, its better when it has dressed up a bit.\nAs an aside, one can\u2019t help feeling sorry for poor old Erasmus. His level-headedness made him a target of both feuding religious parties. Neutrality seems to make one an enemy of all what?\nThank you Livius\nIndeed, Erasmus\u2019 equanimity made him a target from all sides. Thankfully his impassioned embrace of scholarship and reason has made him an intellectual luminary for the ages. Paul IV, on the other hand, is less fondly remembered.\nThank you for your kind compliments, Tristan.\nNot at all Livius, the pleasure is all mine. It has positively made my month finding your blog, I shall be a daily visitor.\nAs for Paul IV, you are right, a bad egg. They chopped the head off his statue you know.\nThe irony of Erasmus peaceful ways is that his name is an anagram of \u201cMurderous as seditious dreamers.\u201d Curious what?\nAnyway, I am rambling. I shall be a daily visitor to this site, mark my words.\n^ I read the above comment with a very polite, British accent.",

        "raw_content": "So Mr. President, What Did You Do During Your Term In Office? 1930\nThe Herbert C. Hoover Administration : Year 1930\nMost government and business leaders still insisted that the economic conditions were basically sound. The first four months of the year there was a strong stock market recovery and the Dow-Jones industrial average rose from a low of 198 to 294 during the period. Unemployment, which stood at about 1,500,000 in October 1929, rose to 4,000,000 by spring. Industrial production of almost every type starts to drop as consumers save against an uncertain future. Wages hold steady for the first half of the year as President Hoover attempts to convince the business community that their decrease would aggravate the nation's problems. In May the stock market again declines sharply and the trend for the rest of the year is downward. A terrible drought during the summer months in the Ohio and Mississippi valleys causes much suffering in the area and worsens the already bad farm situation. Increasing bank failures during the latter half of the year culminate in December when the Bank of the United States fails. The Hawley-Smoot Tariff, highest in the country's history, is passed in June and has the effect of increasing the price of imported goods and reducing foreign trade.\nPresident Hoover nominates Judge John J. Parker of the Federal Fourth Judicial Circuit. No member of the Court at that time was from the southern states, and the regional distribution of justices had always been regarded as of some importance. Parker was regarded as a nominal Republican. He had been elected to the local bench by Democratic support and, together with his service on the Federal bench, he had served some twenty of his adult years as a judge with great distinction. The Attorney General had studied more than 125 of Parker's decisions and had found them of high legal competence. (Memoirs)\nPresident Hoover submitted the Naval Limitation Treaty to the Senate on May 1, 1930.\nPresident Hoover signed the first of a series of acts which was drafted for the committees of Congress covering the Federal prison reforms.\nIgnoring the objections of economists, President Hoover signs the Hawley-Smoot Tariff Act, which raises import duties on hundreds of goods to record levels. Hoover contends that the tariff will aid the hard-pressed farmer.\nReform in the bankruptcy laws was equally urgent. It was not alone a problem in fraud and crime; it had the widest economic importance. The Constitution itself recognized its national importance by making supervision of bankruptcy a Federal function. On July 29, 1930, President Hoover directed the Departments of Justice and Commerce to make a joint investigation of the whole subject. The social desirability was to keep every honest, producing unit operating whether individual or corporate. The reforms provided for\n1)elimination of fraud in bankruptcy practice;\n2) conciliation and adjustment of debt with the aid of the courts\n3) protection during the period of negotiation\n4) creation of a system of conciliators under the courts for farmers, home owners and small debtors\n5) provision against speculators buying up debt in order to seize property, usually to speculators. (Memoirs)\nBy October President Hoover recognizes publicly that there are 4,500,000 unemployed, but he is not willing to concede that the Government should provide direct assistance to the needy, as Senator Robert M. La Follette, Jr., of Wisconsin and Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York, among others, suggest.\nCalling it \"the greatest program of waterway, harbor, flood control, public building, highway, and airway improvement,\" President Hoover asks Congress to approve over $100,000,000 to fight unemployment and stimulate the economy.\nCongress sends the President a bill authorizing expenditure of $116,000,000 on projects to relieve unemployment. The number of unemployed is estimated at 7,000,000.\nArticle Name: So Mr. President, What Did You Do During Your Term In Office? 1930\nSource: BIBLIOGRAPHY: From my collection of books: The American Presidents by David C.

        "raw_content": "Throughout recorded history religion has played an important part in everyday life all over Europe. In England the country had followed the Roman Catholic form of Christian worship until the Reformation that started during the reign of Henry VIII, leading to the development of the Anglican form. In the early part of the 17th century a difference of opinion began to emerge amongst Protestants. A growing body of Calvinists were much more intense in their religious beliefs, leading a strict lifestyle and rigorous regime of worship, taking prayers, religious study and meditation several times each day and often attending church throughout the week. They believed the Church of England needed to go much further in its reforms.\nProtestants who disagreed with the official Church of England \u2013 known as \u2018Dissenters\u2019 \u2013 were excluded from holding most professional positions on the grounds that to do so would require them to show loyalty to religious and political laws to which they disagreed. They had instead turned to farming, manufacturing and trade, including importing and exporting to and from Virginia, with many becoming wealthy. As outsiders to the political process, which was controlled by King Charles and his ministers, they had a growing number of economic complaints, regarding taxes for example, that were hindering their businesses.\nScotland had officially been Presbyterian since 1592 but in 1637 Archbishop of Canterbury William Laud, backed by Charles, instructed the Scottish Kirk to use the Anglican Book of Common Prayer. They objected and as the argument escalated the Scots raised an army to march on England. Charles needed finance to raise a defence but only Parliament, which he had suspended in 1629, could raise the necessary taxes. He was forced to recall Parliament in April 1640 but that led to numerous disagreements between King and MPs. After just three weeks he suspended it yet again and it became known as the \u2018Short Parliament\u2019.\nAs the Scots occupied Newcastle-upon-Tyne Charles was forced into the humiliating position of yet again recalling a hostile Parliament. It sat from November 1640 for eight years and thereby became known as the \u2018Long Parliament\u2019. When in January 1642 its MPs took steps to impeach his Catholic wife, Charles stormed the House of Commons in an unsuccessful attempt to arrest some of their number. The attempted arrests were a political mistake and the armed violation of Parliament turned many against Charles. Fearing reprisals, the King and royal family fled their palace at Whitehall. Henrietta Maria went abroad and Charles travelled north to raise an army of supporters. It was the beginning of civil war between Parliamentarians, supported by dissenters, and Royalists who were primarily Anglicans.\nBoth sides in the conflict knew that holding London was the key to victory and the Parliamentarians put in place plans for its defence. The old wall protected the City but not Westminster and other areas, so a new defensive ditch and towers were constructed around a much larger area.",

Bush.\nInstead of tax cuts once again, which Donald Trump wants for the wealthy, they must have their taxes increased dramatically, as they were in World War II, and also the higher rates under Dwight D. Eisenhower in the 1950s and Richard Nixon in the 1970s, both Republican Presidents.\nThey can complain all they wish, as that is the American tradition, but they have been very fortunate, and already own the vast majority of the nation\u2019s assets, and it is now their responsibility to do their part, and to thank the nation for their good fortune, also accentuated by the tax cuts in the 1980s and 2000s that greatly distorted the class system in America, and made this nation more stratified than Great Britain.\nAnd corporations must pay the taxes they are responsible for, instead of lobbying constantly for special treatment.\nUnfortunately, with a GOP Congress, they may not come through for Houston and Southeast Texas, and if they do not, that is the campaign issue for the Democrats in the midterm Congressional elections of 2018 and the Presidential and Congressional elections of 2020, including on the state level.\nNews and Politics\t1950s, 1970s, 1980s, 2000s, Charity, Class Stratification, Congress, Congressional Elections Of 2020, Corporations, Democratic Party, Donald Trump, Dwight D.

This is the image of the 1950s, when women knew their \u201cplace\u201d; when children did not use illegal drugs or get drunk or even smoke if they came from a \u201cgood\u201d family; and minorities were seen, but not heard, and there was very little direct contact with them.\nWell, foreign policy wise, Romney is in the 1980s, with the image of the Cold War under Ronald Reagan; with the Russians called the Soviet Union, and seen as an \u201cevil empire\u201d; with the Soviets controlling Eastern Europe, including the nation of Czechoslovakia, and Eastern Europe enslaved by the Russian armies.\nTop aides to Romney have used the term \u201cSoviet Union\u201d recently, as has Romney, forgetting that the Soviet Union disappeared in 1991, and while Russia is certainly a nation to watch and keep track of their activities, they are certainly nothing like the old \u201cSoviet Union\u201d, do not control Eastern Europe, and do not even control all of the separate provinces that are now independent nations.\nAlso, the references to \u201cCzechoslovakia\u201d are truly laughable by Romney aides on foreign policy, as that nation broke up peacefully 19 years ago, in 1993, into the Czech Republic and Slovakia. This is the same mistake made by Senator John McCain, the 2008 Republican Presidential nominee!\nOne would think that a candidate for President, and his top advisers, would know the true story about Czechoslovakia!\nOne would also think that a candidate for President would realize we are not in the 1950s regarding the family, the role of women, and the reality of minority groups in America!\nSo one has to say, is this what the nation wants in 2013 and beyond: a candidate socially in the 1950s, and foreign policy wise in the 1980s Cold War mentality?

Rockefeller, the so called \u201cRobber Baron\u201d of the late 19th and early 20th century!\nIt was a wonder to behold Senator Rockefeller being outraged at the abuses of the industry!

        "raw_content": "Stars: Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Jesse Eisenberg, Diane Lane, Laurence Fishburne, Jeremy Irons, Holly Hunter, Gal Gadot, Scoot McNairy, Callan Mulvey, Tao Okamoto, Brandon Spink, Lauren Cohan, Jena Malone, Ezra Miller, Kevin Costner, Jason Momoa\nGenre: Action, Science Fiction, Adventure\nReview: Eighteen months ago, disaster struck the American city of Metropolis when the entity known as Superman (Henry Cavill) fought his nemesis General Zod to a standstill. As they both had enormous reserves of power thanks to their alien genetic makeup, their battle was able to knock over entire skyscrapers there, killing thousands of innocent people. Superman emerged the victor, murdering Zod and ending his potential for even more unimaginable acts of destruction, but at what cost? There were those who doubted that he was a force for peace after that, and one of those naysayers was billionaire Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) who witnessed one of his tower blocks topple, wiping out many of his employees. But what can one man do against that?\nAnother year, another brace of would-be blockbusters that generate so much heat from critics amateur and professional alike that it was easy to lose sight of the production at the heart of it, especially when we were dealing with a property which it seemed everyone on the planet with internet access had an opinion on the correct method of handling it, as was the case with Batman v Superman. The trouble with that is, when you arrive at two characters as iconic as them you're going to see a lot of people who just didn't like what you did with them, and director Zack Snyder was already a divisive figure for what he did to remake Dawn of the Dead or indeed how he presented Superman in the film previous to this, Man of Steel.\nCombine that with battle lines drawn between Marvel fans and DC fans, as if for some unspoken reason you could not be fans of both or at least pick and choose from their substantial array of characters which ones you preferred, then the most you could say about this effort would be that if you did want to watch it, that would be because you felt the need to have an opinion on it. More than that, it would just not do to say, yeah, it was okay, because you either had to be violently opposed to it or strongly in favour: middle ground was a no man's land when it came to these works. Certainly it was a brave soul who piped up and said they enjoyed this after it had seen its cinema release, but there were rumours of a longer, three hour cut in existence that could magically cure all the issues the already two-and-a-half hour cut had.\nYet as it turned out, when the public got to see the so-called \"Ultimate Edition\", it was indeed true that it was a more satisfying experience, not a huge improvement and still eating up a heck of a lot of your time, but definitely feeling as if there were elements better defined. As with Man of Steel, Snyder wished to address real life controversies such as the War on Terror, with Superman a tool of the United States Government and having no qualms about killing for them on a scale equivalent to Doctor Manhattan from Alan Moore's Watchmen, not coincidentally another project from this director. But Batman sees to it that his victims die too, only in a more roundabout manner when he brands the criminals he captures so as their fellow inmates will murder them in prison, one of a few credibility stretching aspects to David S. Goyer and Chris Terrio's screenplay which basically answered the question of which side we should be on by saying, neither of them (indeed Gal Gadot's infrequently appearing Wonder Woman shapes up to be the real hero type for a long while before the regulation mass destruction climax).\nFor the first half of the movie Bats and Supes are far from appealing, both brooding, both humourless, and both using violence to get their way. There was no Team Captain America vs Team Iron Man as in this film's big rival of the spring of 2016, these characters were simply too big to be treated to that sort of partisanship, and so it was by the end we were not supposed to support one or the other, but both of them. What looked to be shaping up as a colossal rivalry was revealed as a parable of setting aside differences to see the benefits of teamwork as Snyder replaced the Frank Miller inspired Dark Knight Returns echoes, and instead instigated another famous in the comics world plotline. There was a sense that we were watching yet another origin story, in spite of Man of Steel being precisely that, and this muddied the waters further when you began to question just how much cash DC and Marvel wanted us to fork out for these never ending yarns. Yet for all those drawbacks, Batman v Superman was sincere in searching the souls of its heroes for anything positive in these troubled times, and if it saw more action flick females (Amy Adams and Diane Lane) kidnapped and Jesse Eisenberg as a twitchy, instantly dated tech-savvy Lex Luthor, there were points when its weighty themes and self-seriousness clicked such as the pro-immigrant strand (they have mothers too!). The alternative was a big joke, and that didn't suit it. Music by Hans Zimmer and Junkie XL, which has an actual tune at times.",

        "raw_content": "Caye Caulker Island\nCaye Caulker Island in Belize is located just off of Belize City. On early maps attributed to the British, the island was spelled Cay Corker. The most noteworthy historical fact about the island is the bounty of fresh water at La Aguada, a spot where sailors once gathered to refill the fresh water in their corked bottles. There are few residents on the island, however it is a prime location for agriculture and fishing. Coconut and lobster are two big exports. Not totally unpopulated, Caye Caulker island is a quaint place dotted with locally owned restaurants, boutiques and other businesses owned by natives and settlers.\nThere are many different cultures represented on the island, which gives it the patchwork flair that is so loved. For example, some of the people on the island are Mestizos, descendents of the Mayans. They are the founders of the island. The Garifuna are another people you\u2019ll find on the island. They are descendents of Indians who escaped a slave ship, and part of their rich heritage is their music and dancing. Some residents of the island are Creole, while others are Mennonite, a religious group renowned for their fine furniture craftsmanship. Then there are the tourists, who decide to call Caye Caulker island their new home and thus become locals.\nThere are celebrations and festivals on the island all year round. For example, in February the vibrant event known as Carnival takes place prior to Lent. In March there is a well known fishing tournament, while in April Easter festivities are in full swing. Independence Day is celebrated in September, which is always a noteworthy event. There are pageants, parades, fireworks and more. Garifuna settlement celebrations take place in November, while in December there is of course celebrations for Christmas and New Year\u2019s.\nWhen it comes to tourist activities, Caye Caulker Island has plenty of them. The fine beaches provide ample opportunity for sunbathing and beach sports like volleyball, parasailing, snorkeling and scuba diving. Snorkeling and scuba diving here is like no other experience \u2014 the underwater world is a vibrant haven for all kinds of colorful and fascinating undersea life. And don\u2019t worry if you\u2019ve never been before, there are instructors on the island who specialize in taking beginners on their first expedition. Other water bound activities include surfing, sea kayaking and fishing. Manatee tours are also popular for those who want to glimpse these gentle giants.\nIf your idea of a good time is staying on land, Caye Caulker island has lots to offer in this area as well. The breathtaking landscape is home to amazing wildlife, so nature walks and birdwatching tours are extremely popular with tourists in this area seeking to relax while taking in spectacular scenery. If you love to shop and eat (and who doesn\u2019t?) the island offers all kinds of different shopping establishments and restaurants, where you can sample all kinds of different cuisine and pick up one of a kind trinkets to commemorate your stay on this little piece of paradise.\nPosted in: Belize Tourist Attractions | Tags: Caye Caulker Island\n\u00ab Guide to San Ignacio, Belize\nBlue Hole & Ambergris Caye Belize \u00bb",

        "raw_content": "If you are planning a trip to Egypt sometimes soon, there are some specific places that make Egypt what it is today. For starters, Egypt is well known for it\u2019s amazing history. Egypt was a very busy place in times past, and the amount of wealth that this country generated was immense. Pharaohs and rulers were well known for amassing huge amounts of resources, enough to amaze even our modern imaginations.\nThere are a lot of places in Giza that will appeal to the history buff in you. It\u2019s literally an epicenter of historical achievements and architectural wizardry. People still wonder, to this day, how on earth such immense structures could be created. Pyramids that stood an incredible 479 foot into the sky are what Giza is most famous for, and at the time when they were built, they stood as the tallest form of structure constructed on the planet. Nowadays, they are much smaller than our modern day skyscrapers, but are still an amazing achievement of early construction know how. In fact, they are listed as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.\nSo, when you are in Giza, you may be wondering what the best course of action is. There are tour guide companies that specialize in showing new tourists their way around. For example, Emo Tours is one of the best in the business. They get consistent rave reviews from all of their clients, they take a special pride in serving their customers, and they really enjoy what they do. They handle tours to the Great Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, and even include lunch and some of the cover fees to visit these places in their price schematic.\nThey speak perfect English and will even take some great photos of the places you visit for you. They can give you in-depth recommendations on who to choose for a hotel and cruise line, as they know the entire business sector of Egypt like the back of their hand. They\u2019ve been in business for years with expert abilities. When you book with Emo Tours, the guides will be professional as well as friendly. They will share stories about their personal lives and the many adventures they\u2019ve gotten to have in Egypt with tourists over the years. All in all, this tour company can\u2019t be beat! Book with them!\nAlthough you can visit the Great Sphinx with the help of a tour guide/group, we thought we would mention the Great Sphinx specifically, as it\u2019ll help give you an idea of the immense historical significance that this ancient land provides you as a tourist. The Great Sphinx was built around 2500 B.C. and rises to a height of over 60 feet. It is carved out of limestone and even though it was built so long ago, it still stands to this day. While it\u2019s not as perfect as it was in 2500 B.C., it\u2019s still quite a marvel to behold.\nIf the historical beauties and antiquities of the past aren\u2019t your thing, there is much else to do in Egypt as well. The Mena House Oberoi Golf Course, for example, is one of Giza\u2019s most prized golfing locales. It offers a marvelous golfing experience with the pyramids in the background. There are 18 holes of golf, like most other golf courses, but you\u2019ll want to take special care to visit this golf course during the week as during the weekends, they are always very busy. You may find yourself waiting until noon before you finally get to Tee off.\nTags: weather, hotels, map, facts, history, climate, population, pyramids, info\nPosted in: Egypt Tourist Attractions | Tags: Giza Egypt Attractions\n\u00ab Ramses Tours review Egypt\nLuxor Egypt Attractions \u00bb",

Now What?\nThe majority of cases heard in Tigard Municipal Court are traffic violations.These citations can be handled in four ways:\nBy mail, following the instructions on the reverse side of the citation;\nAt the court clerk's desk in Tigard City Hall, where fines are assessed by the court clerk according to a schedule based on the type of offense and your driving record; or\nBy entering a no contest plea and paying the citation online at www.CitePayUsa.com; or\nBy appearing in court at the time set for arraignment on the face of your citation.\nCourt Arraignments: The purpose of arraignment is to tell the judge how you wish to proceed with your case. Arraignments usually begin at 3:30 p.m., 4 p.m. or 4:30 p.m. on WEDNESDAYS. You should arrive before the scheduled time (which appears on your ticket) and check in at the court desk or with the bailiff before entering the courtroom.\nThere are two options at arraignment: You can plead NOT GUILTY if you wish to contest the charge against you and go to trial. The trial ordinarily is scheduled within a three-month time period.\nYou can plead NO CONTEST. If you choose this option, you can offer an explanation of the circumstances. Your fine or other penalty, assessed by the Judge, would depend on your explanation, your driving record, and the seriousness of the offense.\nA plea of NO CONTEST under Oregon Law results in a guilty finding by the court. The benefit to a no contest plea is that you do not have to admit guilt in open court.\nIf you do not follow any order of the court, including an order to pay a fine, your driver's license will be suspended and you may be subject to further legal action and costs. A plea of no contest will result in a conviction being entered on your driving record.\nTrials: At trial, you and the police officer will appear in court to present evidence about your citation. Evidence can include the testimony of you and the officer, the testimony of any witnesses, and photographs or diagrams. Non-attorney trials are informal and take 30 minutes or less. The judge will hear the evidence and normally make a decision at the end of the trial.\nIf you choose to hire an attorney, make sure that he or she notifies the court as soon as possible, no later than 5 days prior to the trial. A new trial date will be set.\nIf you fail to appear for trial, the court may enter a judgment against you which can include a fine. The conviction will be entered on your driving record.

        "raw_content": "Frustration over changes to Early ...\nPublished in The Examiner on Saturday the 25th of March was an advertisement requesting community feedback \u2013 \u2018Transforming lives. Transforming cities \u2013 the new Inveresk Education Precinct\u2019.\nUTas has recently celebrated a partnership between local, state and federal governments to move the Launceston campus from Newnham to Inveresk in an effort to revitalise the city with the promise of attracting thousands of new students to Northern Tasmania.\nIn the same week the advertisement was published, a group of current students from the Bachelor of Education Early Childhood degree have been bundled together to be told that an increased amount of their Early Childhood course will be going online. These changes will take place in the later, and most crucial years of the course. Students who attended the meeting were told that the course was no longer viable to be delivered on-campus due to lack of student numbers. The group have argued that they have the required amount of students to meet the minimum of 12 needed to hold face to face tutorials.\nIn an email to students, staff at the Faculty of Education confirmed that \u201cIt is a commitment of the Faculty that all units in the first and second year of the degree are offered both face to face and online. However, many of the units offered in third and fourth year are only offered to Early Childhood students in the online mode of delivery. This is because the number undertaking these units at any one time is often small and it is not possible to offer face to face tutorials.\u201d\nWhen clashes with the course timetable became apparent, students demanded a meeting. Some students were faced with the prospect of undertaking practical experience in a workplace during the same time as semester one exams and study week. This has since been resolved with the rescheduling of the timetable.\nChallenges highlighted at the meeting, and the time needed for issues to be followed up on have students questioning the future viability of the course. Facilitators have guaranteed those that are currently in the course will be able to complete their degree. Even with this reassurance, many early childhood students have considered moving to the Primary Education degree.\nIt is a requirement that students undertake Early Childhood specific courses if they want to gain the accreditation they need to work in the early years of primary school education. In the 10 Early Childhood courses over both Year 3 and 4, only two will be available face to face.\nInternational students who are enrolled will no longer have the required contact hours to meet their VISA requirements to stay in Australia in the final year of the course. As the education course is only available in Launceston, the changes have also significantly impacted students who have moved from Hobart.\nA Tasmanian principal has commented that early childhood education is about the relationships and connections between young children, their families and the educational setting. The principal said \u201cIf the education act is changed to lower the school starting age, there will be a greater need for quality Tasmanian educators for young children. The experiences and social connections students build at university can help them as professionals.\u201d\nSome current students have been forced to question the future of their studies at UTas and are hoping that they are not left behind, and their concerns are listened to in the process of the campus relocation.\nEventually people wanting to do the degree will just resort to moving to somewhere else like Deakin. As a result, people with ECE qualifications will be moving interstate, leaving Tassie ECE in limbo. Education is the foundation of the world\u2019s future, how come UTAS is just trashing the degree in such an irresponsible and despicable way, all in the name of money.\nIf you can not sustain the future of Tasmania\u2019s education sector, the motto of \u201cworld-class study, research and lifestyle\u201d is just pure rubbish and baseless. The $400m STEM project will also be a total waste of money, if people don\u2019t have a good enough education from a young age for them to undertake tertiary studies.",

        "raw_content": "The snap General Election brought with it disastrous results for the Conservatives, and it seems as though Theresa May is on borrowed time as Prime Minister.\nSupport within her own party has dwindled, let alone amongst the electorate, and it is believed that she will be removed from her post prior to the next election, which can tan take place no later than 2022. Indeed, the bookmakers have 2019 as her likely year of exit \u2013 that would coincide with the probable timeframe that Brexit negotiations are concluded and the UK leaves the EU.\nNever ones to miss a trick, those same bookies are already taking bets on who will be the next prime minister, and the names at the head of the market are unsurprising: Jeremy Corbyn is favourite after Labour\u2019s resurgence at the polls, while key members of the Tory cabinet, such as Boris Johnson, Phillip Hammond and Amber Rudd, are being primed alongside Brexit negotiator David Davis \u2013 who may be reviled or revered come 2019.\nBut there\u2019s another name that has gate-crashed the party. Jacob Rees-Mogg, the MP for North East Somerset, has hit the headlines of late for some, ah, interesting views, ad recently topped a poll of Conservative members asked for May\u2019s likely successor.\nEven though Rees-Mogg has distanced himself from the post, clearly the lure of the hotseat would be tough for the man known as \u2018Moggy\u2019 to resist.\nSo should the UK voting public be excited about what he brings to the table, or terrified of his rather archaic views?\nChris McAndrew [CC BY 3.0], via Wikimedia Commons\nA firm Eurosceptic stance has warmed Rees-Mogg to those who desire absolution from the single market, and his approach is so right-wing on the topic that he even publicly declared that the Tories should form a pact with UKIP back in 2013. He is a noted supporter of the coalition with the DUP too.\nRees-Mogg\u2019s conservatism is perhaps no surprise given that he was educated at Eton College and then Trinity College, although it was business rather than politics that was his first love. He purchased shares in GEC as young as ten, and has worked summarily as an investment banker and financial specialist both in the City and for his own firm, Somerset Capital Management.\nPolitics soon followed, although an unsuccessful attempt to win a seat in 1997 in Fife was highlighted by Rees-Mogg allegedly touring the working-class constituency in a Bentley. He won just 9% of the vote.\nUnperturbed, he stood for the Wrekin seat in Shropshire in 2001, but suffered a 0.95% vote swing to the Labour MP Peter Bradley \u2013 bucking a national trend of a 3.5% switch in the Conservatives\u2019 favour.\nAfter a few years in the wilderness Rees-Mogg returned to politics for the 2010 General Election, and it was here that he finally became an MP at the third time of asking, triumphing in the North East Somerset vote with a majority of nearly 5,000 votes.\nHe is today considered to be a humorous public speaker and a slightly absurdist figure, and some of his more \u2018unique\u2019 hot takes include trying to amend the Daylight Saving Bill so that Somerset could have its own time zone (15 minutes behind London), and the opinion that council officials with the power to wield on-the-spot fines for things such as parking and littering should be made to wear bowler hats.\nUnfortunately, those comedic takes play second-fiddle to some rather darker views stemming from his Catholic faith. Rees-Mogg is vehemently opposed to same-sex marriage \u2013 a great way to alienate a substantial section of the electorate, and has recently gone on record with his opposition to abortion \u2013 even in the instance of rape.\n\u201cRape is a great evil and a terrible crime, but that\u2019s not made better by then aborting the unborn child,\u201d he told the Daily Mail. \u201cThe Catholic Church\u2019s teachings are authoritative. There is a moral absolute on abortion \u2014 that it is wrong. To take a life after a rape is not the answer. Life begins at the point of conception.\n\u201cOne can only feel compassion for a woman in these situations \u2014 which, of course are rare \u2014 but it\u2019s hard to see how taking a child\u2019s life makes them better.\u201d\nIt remains to be seen whether somebody who holds such outdated and abhorrent views will be considered fit for Downing Street, although let\u2019s face it hasn\u2019t held Donald Trump back on the other side of the pond.\nThe campaign to make Rees-Mogg Prime Minister is gathering momentum amongst grassroots Tory MPs\u2026.let\u2019s hope that\u2019s where the campaign ends.",

        "raw_content": "Cardiomyopathy, which means \"heart muscle disease\", is a critical illness covered by many insurance plans.\nIt is the term given to the breakdown in the good functioning of the myocardium (which is the actual heart muscle) for any reason at all. People with the disease are at risk of heart attacks and arrhythimia.\nThere are many different types of cardiomyopathies caused by different factors, which include: coronary artery disease, congenital heart disease, nutritional diseases, ischemic (or ischaemic) cardiomyopathy, hypertensive cardiomyopathy, valvular cardiomyopathy, inflammatory cardiomyopathy, cardiomyopathy secondary to a systemic metabolic disease, alcoholic cardiomyopathy and diabetic cardiomyopathy.\nNaturally, it is worth checking with your insurer which causes are covered by their critical illness insurance policy. One would normally expect that diseases caused by alcoholism (as an example) would either not be covered or would be covered at a higher premium.\nThe various signs and symptoms cardiomyopathy are usually discovered incidentally during a routine health checks. A blood pressure measurement can reveal hypertension (a factor of the disease), although hypertension alone rarely produces detectable symptoms, although some people are known to report headaches, fatigue and generally sleepiness, dizziness, blurred vision, facial flushing or tinnitus (a buzzing in the ears).\nCardiomyopathy can be confused with the psychological tension of stress and anxiety, but in this day and age so many of us experience these symptoms that it would be a mistake to diagnose oneself on the presence of these alone. The only sure way to catch conditions such as cardiomyopathy in good time is to go for regular health checks with your GP or health practitioner.\nhttp://www.cardiomyopathy.org/\nhttp://www.stanfordhospital.com/clinicsmedservices/COE/heart/DiseasesConditions/hypertrophicCardiomyopathy/default\nPrevious Article: Aplastic Anaemia",

        "raw_content": "January 26 - John Bradford, Martyr, Roving Chaplain, Reformer\nWhile John Bradford was confined to the royal prison--the Tower of London to be precise--he was far away from his books and academic world but that is where all of this had started. Born to a wealthy family, he was given the gift of a good and comprehensive education. From there, John went on to study more and pursue an intellectual career emphasizing his greatest strength: accounting and mathematics. He served as an officer in King Henry VIII's army and was in the position of accounting for payroll for the soldiers who fought Henry's wars. After this, he pursued a career in law as a legal professional but while studying he had the mixed fortune of befriending a man who supported the English reformation. As he studied and talked with his new friend he found himself slowly but steadily being won over to the Anglican church in particular and the teachings of the Church in general. The earnest eagerness of his friend convinced John to take his faith ever more seriously. He could stand it no longer and so hestopped studying law and started studying theology so he might become a minister of the faith he had been infected with.\nWhen he had received his education he began his clerical career first as a teachi ng fellow and secondly as an ordained priest who was given a region to rove and preach in. With Anglican leaders in control of Britain, he was not under immediate threat but tensions were high with other Christians--Roman Catholic Christians in particular. He preached and taught and served the Faith as best he knew how until Mary Tudor took control of the throne and fortunes were reversed. Soon thereafter he was arrested on charges of attempting to incite mob activity. These trumped up charges took away his freedom and imprisoned him in the Tower of London. It was from his window in the tower that he looked down upon some anonymous criminal going off to die for his crimes and remarked, \"There but for the grace of God goes John Bradford.\" John had not lost his connection with God's grace and his need for God's forgiveness even as he had gained honor and received suffering. He knew well that it was only the grace of God that separated him from a life of unrepentant corruption. One thing he would share with that criminal, though, was a state-sponsored death.\nSome time after his famous remark, he was charged and tried before a court disposed toward execution. Predictably, he was found guilty and condemned to death at the hands of an Empire that would not accept his brand of resistance. He was tied to a stake with another man and wood was piled around his feet and body. As they brought the torch, he asked for forgiveness for any that he might have wronged and publicly offered forgiveness to those who had wronged him.Enveloped in forgiveness on all sides, he was set ablaze by murderous hands. He died a martyr of the reformation of the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church. There with the grace of God went John Bradford.",

        "raw_content": "The Many Ways Other People Control Your Care\nHow should a doctor relate to you as a patient...?\nMany people think they don\u2019t need to invest in a relationship with a doctor, because if (really when) they get sick, they can always find a doctor, and this is true\u2014but the real issues are:\nhow long it will take to get in with the doctor;\nhow well trained is the doctor;\nhow long will the doctor spend with them;\nand how well does the doctor understand the patient and the problems.\nI have learned that the physician needs to start\u2014and end\u2014by listening to you, the patient. It takes more time, but there is no substitute. Listening gives us the best chance to understand interconnected medical problems and what issues are most important to you.\nMost doctors are not paid to help you\nThey were certainly trained to help patients, and most doctors certainly want to help patients... but they are not paid to do so. The majority of doctors today are primarily paid through \u201cThird Party Payers\u201d (including insurance and Medicare), which unfortunately do not really pay doctors to talk or listen to the patient. Doctors receiving insurance money are paid by how many patients they physically see in the office, and procedures done.\nPrimary care doctors usually spend actually more time doing the paperwork than they do seeing the patient. Filling out forms, handling phone messages, calling in prescriptions, securing prior authorizations for tests/medications, are all tasks that help the patient, but there is no monetary support for that part of the job.\nPaying the insurance middlemen Increases Costs\nThird Party Payers have gradually piled on so many layers of bureaucracy and paperwork that, in order for doctors to get money from insurance, they need to spend a lot of money\u2014expensive (and mandatory) electronic medical records; taking courses in how to bill so charges won\u2019t be denied; hiring staff to do the billing and collections...\nAll this adds up to huge overhead costs, pressuring doctors to see more patients in less time. I know my frustration sometimes comes through, because I have been unwilling to compromise \u201cgetting your story,\u201d just to finish one patient and get on to the next.\nEven the new \u201cmedical homes\u201d being promoted throughout mainstream primary care clinics call for hiring more staff that the doctor is supposed to oversee. However, the doctor will be responsible for more patients and coordinating \u201ccare teams\u201d instead of spending time face-to-face with patients. I prefer to treat you directly as patients.\nFor these reasons, I have decided to make a change. I do not want to leave medicine, as many of my colleagues have been forced to do; and I do not wish to limit my care to only wealthy patients, by charging a few patients thousands of dollars. I wish to use my experience and my training in traditional allopathic medicine to deliver the best care I can, but it is time to break free from paperwork and computer data entry when it doesn't serve patient care. We need a model that puts the patient above paperwork.\nDirect Primary Care cuts out the middleman\nA different way, called Direct Primary Care (DPC), has been catching on across the country. Just this year, the AAFP, my national professional organization, has endorsed DPC as a workable alternative that allows physicians to have more time with their patients. Basically, the patient cuts out the middleman altogether. The patient pays a modest fee directly to the doctor, in order to have membership in the clinic\u2014it is not insurance, but entitles the patient to receive care there.\nDirectly paying modest fees to your doctor is not new\u2014in fact, it is probably the oldest way of getting medical care. This approach has been revived and used for many years now to deliver great and affordable primary care at practices across the country, including North Carolina, and right here in Buncombe County. Direct Primary Care is different from current mainstream medical practice. Some key distinctions\u2014especially some exciting improvements that aren\u2019t possible with conventional medical care, are highlighted in links below.\nHow DPC Helps You Take Back Your Own Health Care\nIt is a strange thing about our health care system\u2014 many Americans pay more for their cars; or their teeth; or their pets; or their cigarettes than they pay for their own health care in a year, and they wonder why care can be scattered.\nI think DPC is a much better model for delivering care that can make a truly meaningful difference, because there is as little barrier between the doctor and patient as possible. I respect your goals for your health, I am also willing to work with you to develop treatment plans that take into account your life with your time and physical limitations. These negotiations take time, patience and mutual respect. Generally they lead to better compliance not only with your medications but the more difficult lifestyle changes required to improve and maintain overall health. DPC has been proven to be less expensive overall. And it is the best way to have continuity of care moving into the future.\nDirect Primary Care has been extensively written about in the New York Times, Medical Economics, the Wall Street Journal, the AAFP, and there is an explosion in the blogosphere. Here are some of the better sites I've found, but it is just a sample!\nTime magazine had a detailed feature in the December 2014 edition-- click here for a link.\nThe New York Times has several articles, including this very excellent one.\nThe Wall Street Journal talks about DPC as \"Concierge Medicine for the Masses\"\nMedical Economics has numerous articles, including this recent overview.\nDr. Brian Forrest opened his DPC Practice in Apex, NC in 2002.\nDr. Rob Lambert practiced regular medicine in North Georgia for decades but gave it up for a DPC model over a year ago, and has maintained an insightful, often hilarious blog that's worth reading.\nMy national professional association, the AAFP, highlights this model here.\nThis is a national organization of DPC practices, one of several.",

        "raw_content": "Scientific studies to determine the safety of scuba diving whilst pregnant are limited (1-5). A definitive study, which would be of statistical significance, examining the effect of diving on the unborn child would require unethical trials to be performed on large numbers of pregnant females.\nThe results of animal studies conducted in the past have been contradictory and inconclusive in their findings (6-8) and may only be relevant to that species.\nAnecdotal evidence exists which suggests that decompression illness (and its treatment in a recompression chamber) may be harmful to the foetus (9). It should be recognised that even shallow water diving can result in pulmonary barotrauma and gas embolism, which might require recompression treatment. There is also some evidence, albeit poor, from small retrospective studies which suggest that deep dives (to depths greater than 30 m) may be associated with foetal abnormalities (2-4). A more recent study (5) has shown that there may be a higher incidence of spontaneous abortion amongst the women who have dived whilst pregnant. They were from women who had made more than one dive a day, and also the respondents of pregnancies that had made dives with decompression stops, though the findings were not statistically significant. It might be argued, however, that there could be an effect but these data are not large enough to detect this factor. The respondents did not average enough dives per pregnancy, therefore if there was a cause and effect it may not show itself owing to this factor.\nThe committee recognises that some women may be unwilling to follow this advice. Therefore, if they wish to continue diving whilst pregnant, then they should do so with extreme caution with the aim of minimising the gas load.\nWomen who have dived when pregnant, but prior to becoming aware of their pregnancy, may seek advice. In which case, ultrasound studies and other investigations may be useful, either to allay the fears of the mother, or to help her and her medical advisers decide how the pregnancy should be managed.\nAs previously mentioned, there is no clear scientific evidence concerning the risk of diving causing foetal abnormalities, neither is there any clear cut scientific evidence which would suggest that there is no risk to the foetus where a mother has dived whilst pregnant. There is no animal or human study that exists which determines the safe depths, limits and timing of a dive whilst pregnant.\nIt is in the light of our lack of understanding of this subject that the UK Sport Diving Medical Committee recommends that if a woman is trying to become pregnant or is pregnant and wants to be quite sure that any problem with the pregnancy and the child cannot be attributed to scuba diving, don\u2019t do it.\n1.

This Framework committed the Ministry and Department of Land Affairs (DLA) to a wide-ranging set of Guiding Principles intended to \u2018actively promote the principle of gender equity\u2019 in land reform; it included mechanisms for ensuring women\u2019s full and equal participation in decision-making in land reform projects; communication strategies; gender-sensitive methodologies in project identification, planning and data collection; legislative reform; training for both beneficiaries and implementers; collaboration with NGOs and other government structures, and compliance with international commitments such as the \u2018Beijing Platform for Action\u2019 (adopted in 1995 at the Fourth World Conference on Women) and the United Nations\u2019 Convention on the Elimination of all Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) (which South Africa had re-ratified in 1995).\nThree and a half years later, DLA officials participating in an internal \u2018Gender Best Practices\u2019 workshop in the KwaZulu Natal provincial office complained that \u2018gender\u2019 was not regarded as part of the core business of the Department - \u2018Gender is not a killer issue,\u2019 said one participant. \u2018The Department would not walk away from a project where you are not getting cooperation around gender issues\u2019 (Research notes, Workshop, 24.10.2000).\nThe disjuncture between what is said in formal policy documents about promoting gender equity in and through land reform and what happens to gender policy \u2018on the ground\u2019 lies at the heart of the research project that is reported on here. This Report has two main concerns. The first is to examine the degree to which there is a disjuncture and try to understand why this should be the case. To what extent has the aim of creating an enabling environment for women to \u2018access, own, control, use and manage\u2019 land been realised? How has the Gender Policy of the DLA been managed and implemented? Why do gender activists within and without the Department feel gender concerns are peripheral and not part of the active \u2018core business\u2019 of land reform? Is this view justified and how might dynamics in the wider society be interacting with and complicating the gender policy goals of the DLA? Is it fair, is it helpful, to say that the commitment to gender equity has been honoured more in the breach than in the execution - has remained at the level of lofty, high-level principles, a kind of \u2018piety in the sky\u2019 that has not been translated into vigorous, (grounded) action in the field? And if, as this Report argues, this is, largely, the case - why this recurring gap between policy and implementation, principle and practice?\nThe second focus of this Research Report is to draw together ideas emerging from this work and that of others to try to address the question: How can the commitment to gender equity be more effectively championed both at the policy level and within the land reform programme as it is implemented in the different regions of the country? More specifically, what can be done to ensure that women and men benefit from the state\u2019s land reform programme on a more equitable basis, in a way that supports rather than confounds the broader societal commitment to eliminating widespread social inequalities and poverty in the rural areas, including centrally, but not exclusively, the gendered dimensions of this?\nTo read this paper, select one of the options on the right.",

        "raw_content": "NEW YORK: There are an estimated 11.9 million illegal immigrants in the US constituting four percent of the population, according to a study released on Tuesday.\nThe study by the independent Pew Research Center, which is based on the data collected by the US Census Bureau till March 2008, says their children, both unauthorized immigrants themselves and those born in the US, make up about 6.8 percent of the total enrolment in elementary and secondary schools.\nAccording to the study, more than 8.3 million of these illegal immigrants are languishing in low-paying jobs, accounting for 5.4 percent of the total labour force.\nAbout 76 percent of all illegal immigrants are Hispanics, with Mexicans being the largest group at seven million.\nNearly 11 percent of undocumented immigrants come from Asia and Central America each, 7 percent from South America, 4 percent from the Caribbean and less than 2 percent from the Arab world, the study says.\nWith 2.7 million illegal immigrants, California has their largest population. Though the state's illegal population has almost doubled since 1990, its share of their total numbers has dropped from 42 percent to 22 percent.\nUnlike in the past, according to the study, illegal immigrants are now evenly spread across the US.\nThough California, Florida, Illinois, New Jersey, New York and Texas remain their favourite destinations, Georgia, North Carolina and other southeastern states too now attract them in large numbers, the study says. Since undocumented immigrants are exploited by employers, their median household income is $36,000, well below the $50,000 for US residents. As a result, one third of the children born in illegal immigrant families live in poverty, according to the study.\nIllegal immigration in the US has been a complicated problem for years now, with both the Democrats and the Republicans soft-pedaling the issue. Open borders with Mexico, lack of border patrols and cheap labour for US employers even though it is illegal to hire them are the major factors for the rising illegal immigration population in the US.\nSince President Ronald Reagan had granted one-time amnesty to about three million illegal immigrants in 1986, their population has unofficially risen to 20 million in hopes of getting legal status one day.\nUSA Green Card Lottery History\nThe history behind the Green Card Lottery Program and the previous 10 years Results.

        "title": "\ufeff The Law of Repetition",
        "raw_content": "The Law of Repetition\nDuration of civilization decreases with time\n\u00a9 By Dr. Adel Elsaie\nSource: History of Truth - The Truth about God and Religions Vol. 1 - In Search of God , 2012 - page 37\nSuicide of a Superpower: Pat Buchanan on the Death of Western Civilization\nOne Ayah in the Quran in Surah 55 is repeated 31 times. This Ayah states: \"Then which of the favors of your Lord will you deny?\" This Surah is 78 Ayat (or Ayahs, Arabic: Ayat) and lists many favors that Allah bestows upon us, and after citing each favor; the above Ayah is repeated as a continuous reminder to humanity to acknowledge His unlimited generosity. It is interesting to note that the Arabic word for \"humanity\" is derived from the same Arabic term that means \"forgetfulness.\"\nAnother Ayah is repeated 4 times in Surah 54 starting in Ayah 17. The Ayah states \"And We have indeed made the Quran easy to understand and remember. Then is there any that will receive admonition?\" Moreover, a part of an Ayah is repeated 5 times in Surah 27 starting in Ayah 60 \"Can there be another god besides Allah?\"\nThe above repeated Ayat are just examples of the repetition in the Quran. The repetition of a certain Ayah adds to the beauty and eloquence of the authentic Word of God. It touches the hearts and minds of the believers. This repetition may be thought of as part of the style of the Word of God.\nIt is possible to extend this style of repetition in the Quran to physical phenomena or events. Consequently I will introduce the Law of repetition. Generally the Divine Law of repetition examines the repetitive design or repetitive event in different branches of science. It then attempts to answer the question of who is the cause of this repetition. The Divine Law of Cause and Effect attributes one cause to one effect. This law is a strong proof for the existence of God. The more general Law of Repetition attributes repetitive effects in non-related fields to One God. This law simply states that because common guidelines exist, in all living organisms, physical objects or historical events, then the Designer or the Creator of all organisms, objects or events is the same. This law also states that because a phenomenon exists in different branches of science, then this phenomenon has to be attributed to only one Uncaused Cause. With humility and open mind, we should believe that God exists.\nThere are overwhelming evidences to believe that the unseen God does indeed exist, because one can observe the signs and the physical results of His creation. One can see these signs in the technical perfection and intricacy of the structure of atoms, solar systems, galaxies, and living cells. They all have a similar design of a nucleus and objects rotating around it. This similarity or repetition in their design reveals that the Designer or Creator of these physical objects is the same, regardless of their size or function.\nHumans, animals, and birds have many repetitive features because they all share the Earth\u2019s common environment. On the outside they have symmetrical organs - two hands, two or four legs, two eyes, two ears - all arranged symmetrically. Hair, feathers, and scales are also arranged symmetrically. Even the colored designs on the wings of the butterfly are arranged symmetrically! The internal organs of humans and animals are arranged to use the space inside efficiently. The human left lung has fewer lobes so that it can accommodate the heart, which nestles inside it. Nearly every species, from cow to chicken to human, has its heart on the left. No one really knows the exact mechanism that pushes the cells of the heart to the left during the embryonic stage. No one really knows the exact mechanism that pushes the cells of the ears to each side of the head during the embryonic stage. Etc.\nAnother application of the Law of Repetition is the old clich\u00e9 that states \"history repeats itself.\" Let us understand what this statement means. In one way it means that civilization and power in certain countries rises to a peak, and then citizens become blinded by success, then this civilization reaches its demise, and another civilization starts, and so on. Everyone knows that. But, did you also notice that the more ancient empires lasted more than the following ones. History books tell us about the following civilizations and empires:\nSumerian civilization in Iraq (3500 - 800 BC)\nEgyptian civilization (3000 - 1070 BC)\nMinoan civilization in Crete (3000 -1000 BC)\nCreek civilization (2000 - 300 BC)\nChinese civilization (1523 BC - 906 AD)\nIndian civilization (1500 -185 BC)\nMexican civilization (1200 - 300 BC)\nRoman Empire (753 BC - 476 AD)\nByzantine Empire (330 - 1453)\nIslamic Caliphate (632 - 1526)\nOttoman Caliphate (1300 - 1923)\nBritish Empire (1558 -1982)\nFrench Empire (1804 -1962)\nRussian Empire (1689 -1917)\nSoviet Empire (1917 -1992)\nAmerican civilization (1865 -)\nHistory books show that the duration of civilizations used to be a few thousand years, then several hundreds. Now we live in an era where \"superpowers\" last a few hundred years, or even less than a hundred years as in the case of the Soviet Union. People who can be affected by preconceived ideas write history books, which can also be audited and adjusted by governments according to the political climate of that time. The Ottoman Caliphate is a case in point. Historians claim that it was an empire. History books in many Islamic countries consider that empire a case of colonization. Very few history books mention that it was an Islamic Caliphate that united many Islamic countries. This is a fact that many governments choose to ignore. If we recognize the Ottoman Caliphate as an extension of the previous Islamic Caliphate, it would make its duration from 632-1923 or about 1300 years. Consequently, the next Law of Repetition states the following:\nDuration of civilization decreases with time.\nThe only exception to this Law is the Islamic Caliphate. Since the Muslims lost the Ottoman Caliphate, Islamic revival is growing in all Islamic countries, and Islam is the fastest growing religion in non-Islamic countries.",

        "raw_content": "Cantillon Ltd v Urvasco Ltd\nAkenhead J in this case reviewed the caselaw on what constitutes \"a dispute\" for adjudication and arbitration purposes. In particular he considered the statements of Judge LLoyd in KNS Industrial Services (Birmingham) Ltd -v- Sindall Ltd (2001), the Court of Appeal's decisions in Collins (Contractors) v Baltic Quay Management (2004) and Amec Civil Engineering v Secretary of State for Transport (2005).\nThe judge derived the following propositions from these cases: The courts (and indeed adjudicators and arbitrators) should not adopt an over legalistic analysis as to what constituted the dispute between the parties. It was necessary to determine in broad terms what was the disputed claim or assertion being referred to adjudication or arbitration (as the case might be). It was not possible to say that the disputed claim or assertion was necessarily defined or limited by the evidence or arguments submitted by either party to each other before the referral to adjudication or arbitration. The ambit of the reference to adjudication or arbitration might unavoidably be widened by the nature of the defence or defences put forward by the defendant in those proceedings. Any dispute referred to adjudication included and allowed for any ground open to the responding party which would amount in law or in fact to a defence of the claim with which it was dealing.\nThe judge went on to outline the following approach to be adopted by adjudicators and arbitrators in the light of the above propositions: It was necessary to look at the essential claim which had been made and the fact that it had been challenged as opposed to the precise grounds upon which it had been rejected or not accepted. It was therefore open to any defendant to raise any defence to the claim when it was referred to adjudication or arbitration. Similarly the claimant was not limited to the arguments, contentions and evidence put forward by it before the dispute crystallised. The adjudicator or arbitrator then had to resolve the referred dispute, which was essentially the challenged claim or assertion, but could consider any argument, evidence or other material for or against the disputed claim or assertion in resolving that dispute.\nThe judge rejected the proposition that where a party had had an opportunity to consider the position of the opposite party, what constituted a \"dispute\" between the parties was not only a \"claim\" which had been rejected but the whole package of arguments advanced and facts relied upon by each side.",

The engineer resisted the enforcement of the decision. The engineer contended that the (mere) fact that the adjudicator followed this Procedure meant (of itself) that the adjudication could potentially have been conducted unfairly and contrary to the rules of natural justice. The engineer advanced this contention notwithstanding that it accepted that the adjudicator did not in fact conduct the adjudication unfairly, although he did take evidence from one party\u2019s witnesses without the other party being present.\nJudge Seymour rejected the contention. Natural justice and fairness required that if an adjudicator received a communication about a matter of significance from one party alone, he should inform the absent party of the substance of the communication so as to give that party an opportunity to deal with. It was relevant in this connection whether a procedure for the conduct of the adjudication had been agreed as a matter of contract. Rule 17 gave the adjudicator a discretion as to how to conduct the adjudication and that discretion, although described in the rule as \u201ccomplete\u201d, was not unfettered insofar as the adjudicator still had to observe the fundamental requirements of natural justice.\nHowever, natural justice did not necessarily require (1) that a party had an opportunity to cross-examine witnesses or (2) that evidence for one party had to be taken in the presence of the other party. In addition it was doubtful whether taking evidence without the other party being present could ever be appropriate in the absence of a provision in the procedure adopting such a course unless the tribunal indicated to the absent party what had been said to which the tribunal was minded to have regard and providing an opportunity for a response.\nThere is nothing inherently contrary to the rules of natural justice in an adjudicator taking evidence from one party\u2019s witnesses being present but the adjudicator should indicate to the absent party what had been said which is minded to have regard and provide an opportunity for its response.",

The Doctor of architecture J. Zilgalvis thinks that this building can serve a good example of the estate building conservation and use.

        "raw_content": "A preview is available at Google Books.\n\"Laura Vivanco\u2019s analysis of the category romance is both meticulous and inspiring. And while Vivanco limits her examples and discussions to category romances by Harlequin Mills & Boon and the HQN imprint, her application of Frye\u2019s mimetic modes begs for expansion to texts and authors across the genre. This piece of literary criticism should serve as a template for romance scholars to move from defending the genre to discussing its values and complexity as a literary art.\" - Maryan Wherry, in the Journal of Popular Romance Studies\n\"At last - a critical work on romance that I can recommend as a balanced, knowledgeable and informed read!\" - Kate Walker, author of over 50 Harlequin Mills & Boon romances\n\"This book is [...] both clever and honourable in its approach -- a rare and admirable combination. The cleverness lies in Vivanco's use of Northrop Frye's literary modes [...]. The honour is in the book's readability and friendliness to anyone interested. Much contemporary litcrit [...] has [...] an unrelenting elitism in the use of very polysyllabic and abstract jargon with which even specialists struggle and which is for the general reader usually an insurmountable barrier. Vivanco, contrariwise, makes her clever thinking seem straightforward, and writes easily and well.\" - John Lennard (my editor)\n\"Readers of genre fiction often grow tired of justifying their particular taste against charges of literary inferiority. Not so [...] Laura Vivanco, whose closely reasoned and wide-ranging academic defence of Harlequin Mills & Boon novels \u2013 For Love and Money \u2013 was published this week.\" - Spurtle\nI don\u2019t think Vivanco has studied these generic, formulaic novels in the most interesting way. I have worked on very similar fiction, mass-market novelettes published in the 1890s. I got nothing of interest by looking at their literary quality, but found vast amounts to write about when looking at them as book history. Thinking about these novels as part of daily reading, and looking at their context is fascinating for understanding their readers\u2019 reading tastes, and how much they would pay for it. Janice Radway did this in 1984 (Reading the Romance) for the American romance market. Looking at how Harlequin Mills & Boon romances are marketed, and what exactly their formula is, and why it works so well, would be valuable socio-literary book-history. - Kate Macdonald, at Vulpes Libris)\nTo proclaim that the mass-produced romances of Harlequin (or of Mills & Boon, the company's name in the UK) are not only worthy of analysis in a cultural studies context, but that they embody \"literary art,\" [...] is to open oneself up for knee-jerk ridicule from academe. Which is why I so admire Laura Vivanco's courage in writing and publishing her monograph, For Love and Money: The Literary Art of the Harlequin Mills & Boon Romance. Bucking the cultural studies trend of previous literature, sociology, and psychology scholars who have written about category romance, Vivanco instead meets literary scholars on the field of literary value. - Jackie C. Horne, at Romance Novels for Feminists\nFor Love and Money in the Classroom\nProfessor Eric Selinger has written at Teach Me Tonight (1) and (2) about his experiences of using For Love and Money in ENG 383 (Women and Literature: Popular Romance Fiction) at DePaul University and he concludes at The Popular Romance Project:\nIf you\u2019re a teacher\u2014not just at a university, like me, but a community college or high school\u2014this book lets you teach some first-class close-reading skills in a fun, accessible context. (It also won\u2019t break student budgets, which they increasingly appreciate.)\nWhen I started to think about the cover of For Love and Money I knew I wanted it to include an image which would symbolise Harlequin Mills & Boon. Obviously I couldn't use any of their logos: they belong to Harlequin Mills & Boon and I didn't want to imply that the company endorses my book. I did, however, draw inspiration from them.\nJ. Herrera's 3D \"rosa roja\" (made available under a Creative Commons licence) was a little more shiny than what I had in mind, but once I'd printed it onto white paper and cut it out, it was just the right texture. I then took another piece of white paper, cut a rhombus-shaped hole in it and folded back the edges. My rose could then 'grow' out of the rhombus-shaped hole, as though it were emerging from the book itself. With the white paper placed over a black background, low lighting to create shadows, and a tiny bit of digital manipulation, I ended up with this photo:\nMy publisher then added the text and changed the colour of the background to make it a more eye-catching shade of yellow/orange.\nBoth the Harlequin and the Mills & Boon logos draw on existing iconographic traditions. Harlequin's is clearly based on the Commedia dell'arte character of Arlecchino, who wears a \"diamond-patterned costume\". The Mills & Boon rose has changed over the years but was presumably chosen because of the flower's romantic associations. As for the rose on my cover, the way it which it emerges from a slit in the paper seems rather apt in the context of the sexual symbolism I discuss in Chapter 4.\nBlogging about the Book\nRules and Romance - at Liz Fielding's blog\nMass Production and Formula - at the Pink Heart Society\nFor Art or Money? - at Read React Review (via the Internet Archive)\nMedievalism, Me and HM&B - at She-Wolf\nAustralian Romance - at the Australian Women Writers blog (via the Internet Archive)\nKindle: ISBN 978-1-84760-197-1 from Amazon .com .de .es .fr .it .uk\nBook traversal links for For Love and Money: Preview, Reviews, etc\n\u2039 For Love and Money: Chapter Outlines\nFor Love and Money: List of HM&Bs cited \u203a",

British American Tobacco (BAT) have engaged in extensive stakeholder consultation exercises and, since 2001, their businesses in more than 40 markets have produced Social Reports, many of which have won awards from organisations as diverse as the United Nations Environment Programme, PriceWaterhouseCoopers and the Association of Certified Chartered Accountants. BAT has also been ranked in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index, the FTSE Ethical Bonus Index and Business in the Community (BITC) Corporate Responsibility Index, and they funded Nottingham University\u2019s International Centre for CSR.\nYet this is the industry where, in 1994, the CEOs of 7 of America\u2019s largest tobacco companies[1] testified before the House Subcommittee on Health and the Environment of Congress, all denying that cigarettes are addictive. They lied under oath. And this is the business that, according to the World Health Organization, kills more than AIDS, legal drugs, illegal drugs, road accidents, murder and suicide combined.\u2019 Of everyone alive today, 500 million will eventually be killed by smoking, and while 0.1 billion people died from tobacco use in the 20th century, ten times as many will die in the 21st century. Isn\u2019t responsible tobacco an oxymoron?\nOf course, it\u2019s not just Big Tobacco. What about Big Oil? This is the industry that set up and funded the Global Climate Coalition (GCC) to lobby against the emerging consensus of climate science and policy development until it was embarrassed into disbanding in 2002. A 2007 report by the Union of Concerned Scientists, entitled Smoke, Mirrors & Hot Air, documented how ExxonMobil adopted the tobacco industry\u2019s disinformation tactics, as well as some of the same organisations and personnel, to cloud the scientific understanding of climate change and delay action on the issue. According to the report, ExxonMobil funnelled nearly $16 million between 1998 and 2005 to a network of 43 advocacy organisations that seek to confuse the public on global warming science.\nOr what about BP? In 2000, the company reportedly spent $7 million in researching the new \u2018Beyond Petroleum\u2019 Helios brand and $25 million on a campaign to support the brand change. Greenpeace concluded at the time that \u2018this is a triumph of style over substance. BP spent more on their logo this year than they did on renewable energy last year\u2019. Antonia Juhasz, author of The Tyranny of Oil (2008), is similarly sceptical, claiming that at its peak, BP was spending 4% of its total capital and exploratory budget on renewable energy and that this has since declined. That\u2019s even before we factor in the Texas City refinery explosion in 2005, or the catastrophic Gulf spill in 2010, or BP\u2019s ongoing investments in the Alberta tar sands. Isn\u2019t sustainable oil a contradiction?\nWhile many of these examples \u2013 and I could cite countless more, from automotive, agricultural, chemicals and other industries \u2013 are a little more than the familiar toxic mix of old-fashioned dirty lobby tactics, many companies today in engage in far more subtle and seemingly plausible campaigns of misdirection \u2013 investing in environmental management systems, producing \u2026\n[1] Philip Morris U.S.A., RJ Reynolds Tobacco Company, U.S. Tobacco, American Tobacco Company, Lorillard Tobacco Company, Liggett Group, Brown and Williamson Tobacco Company\n[button size=\u201dsmall\u201d color=\u201dblue\u201d style=\u201ddownload\u201d new_window=\u201dfalse\u201d link=\u201dhttp://www.waynevisser.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/blog_csr_pretenders_wvisser.pdf\u201d]Pdf[/button] Exposing the CSR Pretenders (blog)\nVisser, W.

To read an image is to understand as it is constituted, and this demands a world knowledge, a previous knowledge, that is, it demands a personal and social interpretation. This desconstruo can be carried through by the citizen through its critical reflection. Therefore when observing, analyzing, to study, to reflect, the object if destroys, therefore much thing comes to tona, as experiences, knowledge, ideas, values, etc. With this, this tearing to pieces of the workmanship provokes a rupture capable to lead to the truth. To lead to the reach, over all of what truily it must be perceived in the workmanship.\nThe first reading that the man carried through was of the image, that it precedes to the reading of the word. In it we read the world, the people, the things. The first world that we search to understand is of the family, our house, yard, small square, quarter, city, state, country. when searching this understanding we are making readings of this world. Critical, pleasant, involving, significant, challenging readings. Readings that inserted in a social and economic context, are of educative nature and politics. The importance of the reading it human being is in the fact of this being a being endowed with conscience reflexiva, capable to carry through a transformation in the conscience. Three periods of training of reading of the image exist: first? is used its personal knowledge, later \u2013 its more general knowledge, and finally? the aesthetic knowledge, that is elaborated and that it depends on a previous knowledge and the experience. In the same way that one becomes necessary to learn to read and to write the word, as Pablo Freire defends, is necessary to read the world, of dynamic form, that ties to language and reality.\n\u00ab Fifth Kingdom\nPolitics and Religion \u00bb",

        "raw_content": "C2C Network came to us looking to take their annual event \u2018Multiply\u2019 - which had been more of a regional event that moved from east to west each year - into something that could stand on a national scale. They needed to redefine the brand and then comprehensively roll it out across all marketing & communication pieces as well as throughout the event itself.\nIn developing a new brand for the event, we explored many variants that could represent the idea of multiplication in a way that was bold and simplistic. It was also very important that a cross be included in the design, which led us to further refine our initial concepts and look more closely at how the marriage of multiplication and the cross could translate visually. The final product is an identity where the cross is central; it is moving and active, breaking out of its container, expanding and growing in all directions.\nAs part of the marketing for the event, we developed a short teaser video as well as a longer promo video.\nOnce the brand had been established the other applications unfolded in a natural way. The components of the logo lent themselves to both the creation of a pattern, representing the idea of movement out from the source, as well as stand alone design elements.\nThe goal across all mediums was to roll out a strong, clear brand in a way that was intentionally minimal and restrained, not flashy and yet still iconic and professional. By placing the clean white lines of the pattern on a custom fabricated background we were able to create a backdrop that both effectively framed the event and did its job: remaining in the background and letting the content of the event take centre stage. The brand also lent itself well to various print and digital pieces with a minimal aesthetic that effectively reinforced the identity in multiple formats.",

        "raw_content": "http://www.weeklyfifty.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/WeeklyFifty-2018-1-24-Subdued.m4a\nThis picture is kind of a cop-out, because it\u2019s not exactly difficult to get. Sort of. I mean, it\u2019s the Low Library on the OSU campus and anyone can walk by and snap a photo of it any time they want, so why bother using as this week\u2019s photo here on Weekly Fifty? Because even though this is, by most accounts, a relatively common and simple picture there were some thing that made it unique such that I felt like it deserved a spot here on the blog.\nI shot this on a foggy morning right before work when I had my camera with me and noticed the particular way in which the library and its well-lit interior stood in stark contrast to the dull gray sky and otherwise rather bland surroundings. I\u2019d guess that in any given year we have maybe five to ten morning that are just thick with low-lying clouds, and often the light just doesn\u2019t quite work out to get any type of interesting image before sunrise, so to get the library looking like this actually is somewhat different from the norm. Also there are no students present in the foreground, or really any people in the picture at all, which as anyone who has ever been to OSU will tell you is not all that common. Finally the uniform dull orange of the grass in the foreground, coupled with the gray overcast sky, gave the entire composition a feeling of cool melancholy that I found to be strangely compelling.\nThe editing was also a bit different for me, since I normally like a little more color and saturation in my images. Here I actually reduced the overall saturation just a bit and added a twinge more vignette than I usually do, because it really felt like it suited the mood of the photo. And maybe that\u2019s the big takeaway for me here: this picture isn\u2019t about creating art or a visually pleasing image per se, but more about capturing a mood. I\u2019m not sure how well I actually succeeded, but if nothing else I hope it helps you the viewer think of an early morning with a bit of a slow pace\u2013a hush or a held breath before the start of a busy day.\nWhat a great shot of the library! I have to tell you that, as an OSU alum living in Florida, I love it when your blog features pictures taken on campus. Thanks for sharing your journey with the rest of us.\nAlways nice to meet fellow OSU alumni, and I hope you are enjoying life in Florida! It\u2019s much warmer today than it was when I shot that photo, and if you could see the Library now you would see the sun shining and students all over the lawn :)\nVery well stated Simon. I like not only your photography but the prose and the thought process with each and every photograph. Do you teach English language or poetry :-)?\nOne can create good images each and every day looking carefully for the opportunities present in the immediate surroundings.\nThank you for such a nice comment! I used to be a high school English teacher but I\u2019m afraid I often let my writing slip here on the blog. I\u2019m glad you like it though! I really should take more time to proofread!\nA photo that could be messy has been distilled into a steeple breaking away from a series of horizontal lines. I like it a bunch.\nBill, I didn\u2019t even think about the steeple breaking through the horizontal lines in the picture. You\u2019ve got a good eye! I\u2019m going to try to remember more compositional elements like that in the future.\nI like this photograph and I thing that your processing matches the building and makes it look as if it is from an earlier time. (Occasionally everything does work together to get the image without the people, in the right light.)\nYou know Dennis, as I look at the photo I guess it does sort of hearken back to an earlier time. I didn\u2019t edit to be like that, but it\u2019s just something that happened with the fog and the early morning light. I\u2019m glad you mentioned that, and it makes me think about the profound effect these sorts of things have on the pictures we take! Just showing up at a different time of day can have a big impact on the composition and even the meaning and interpretation of the picture.\nI agree with Dennis, this photo is timeless.\nThank you Rebecca! :)",

I have to pinch my arm sometimes. I feel so privileged, so in the right place. And no: We don't always have happiness and contentment and harmony in this family, we're normal, we argue and make a mess and get confused about things and miscommunicate, just like the rest of you. But on days like these, all that seems so far away, and what is left is freedom. Just openness, the day is there, in all its simplicity, and all we have to do is to live it, without stress or hurry. So that's what we did!\nOn a farm, there's always things to be done, and especially on a farm that has been desolate for so long, like ours. So having time off does not mean sitting on our behinds and enjoying the view (we do some of that, too, of course). Saturday morning started with the sheep mummies being sheared, so they now walk around looking embarassingly naked and very humiliated. Although I think it felt wonderful for them, really, to get that thick coat of wool off in this heat. When they were done, Mr. Payne sent them up into the forest with the rest of the animals. So now, if you sit in our garden and look up towards the forest, you might catch a glimpse of a lovely cow or two, or some sheep, or a beautiful brown horse munching away up there. Quite a cool sight if you ask me.\nAfter that we had a visit from two friends of mine from the olden days and their kiddos, we had pancakes and ice cream and strawberries and coffee and spent the afternoon indulging ourselves while catching up. Such a healthy way to spend a Saturday!\nMy Dad, whose name is now The Amazing Carpenter, came to continue on the deck, and all I can say is IT'S GOING TO BE GREAT.\nAnd then there were all those other important things: planting seeds and seedlings, tidying up here and there, dressing Daddy up as an old lady, catching a big adder in our orchard, collecting eggs, feeding and super-cuddling the orphan lambs, eating more ice cream and pancakes and strawberries, cutting the \"lawn\", cycling a hundred times back and forth on our little road while singing, and ending the day in the evening sun on the front porch.\nI don't ask for anything more, just let this last a little longer.\nMay 27 We just call him Little Buddha.",

        "raw_content": "Why did Guderian stop at Dunkirk?\nRe: Why did Guderian stop at Dunkirk?\nNick - agree with your points. I would go further - the failure of the German government to activate a full war economy was based on political considerations, and was supported by what amounted to extensive looting of occupied territories. Also relevant was a set of rather lazy assumption as to the possibilities for looting further in Soviet territories not yet acquired - and never actually acquired. Thus came about what German historian Gotz Aly characterized as \"the accommodating dictatorship\". The German population was shielded from the full rigors of war, at the expense of the occupied populations, and of course of the Jews. One expression of this came in a speech delivered by Hermann Goering in October, 1942 - \"If anyone is to go hungry, it will not be a German !\". The defeat at Stalingrad (and related failure of the Caucasus campaign, something under-rated) resulted in a quick transition to \"Total War\", as the possibilities for looting suddenly dried up.\nRegarding slave labor - indeed a double-edged sword. The Third Reich employed compelled or impressed in a wide range of forms. The advantages are obvious. The disadvantages perhaps less so. These ranged from dependence on workforces under strong compulsion with little incentive to perform their tasks efficiently and effectively to the dislocation of local economies in occupied countries through forced or semi-compelled displacement of local labour forces, to (in the East) the destruction of the productive capacity of regions through the \"harvesting\" of their workers for employment elsewhere. One point to be borne in mind about the employment of slave labour (and indeed looting) employed on this scale in the modern environment unused to such measures is that it involves a choice, and a complex one at that. This form of direction of labour (and of other productive resources and products), rather than trying one's best to employ these resources in situ and under minimum compulsion, is likely to be a considerable reduction in the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the economy. There is ample evidence of this in the Third Reich context. Best regards, JR.\nYes, I get the D-Day analogy, but not certain that the two are analogous. The German coastal defences in 1944 were far more substantial than anything Britain had in 1940. Arguably, the German success on land in Europe didn't translate, because they didn't try it. So I guess it remains a moot point. The reason I queried as to whether Hitler was serious about invading Britain, is that he doesn't appear to have asked for an alternative plan. Most staff planners present their commanders with options. As we know, the German high command had some very able people, and Hitler could be open to innovative ideas or totally blinkered and inflexible. There are those that argue that the whole invasion exercise was merely a screen to cover the preparations for Barbarossa.\nThe Germans struggled to come up with a really detailed plan - but that is not surprising when the Army wanted a broad front invasion but the Navy wanted a narrow front - fundamentally disagreeing on where to even land - hard to do any plans past that. Saying that though they did persue both plans but in a more half hearted way as it seems the officers nominated to come up with ideas had no illusions as to the ability to actually launch a crossing in any circumstances except the collapse of the British government.\nI think there was sort of a trite belief that by conquering France, Poland and with the final assimilation of Czechoslovakia that the armaments question would take care of itself. The Germans did have a war economy -- sort of. But there was a bizarre tendency to attempt to continue the production of consumer goods in an effort to maintain the good graces of the German people and insulate them as much as possible from the abnormalities of war until relatively late - when crises began to escalate and cascade. Most do not realize how agrarian the German economy was at the beginning of WWII. For instance, some will say that German never properly mobilized its female population for war production the way that the United States and Britain did (i.e. no German equivalent to \"Rosie the Riveter\"). But actually much of the German female adult population was involved in making up for the shortage of male agricultural workers in this period, so in a sense the did mobilize their adult female population for production.\nIn 1938 more German women were in work as a percentage of the population (mostly on the land) than in the UK at its highest level which was in 1944 (in all industries and services).\nBritain was a more industrialised nation particularly in agriculture and livestock than Germany, Britain also had the vast Commonwealth providing food and goods so subsidising its homegrown produce - it did not need the labour heavy farming methods Germany had to use (not withstanding the huge call ups of the farms principle motive power - the horse)\nThe Reich also believed they could make good some shortages via the use of slave labor and captured transport from France. Certainly, the French weapons and trucks went a long way in helping the Wehrmacht until they began to break down or quickly became obsolete and relegated to secondary fronts against partisans. Slave labor was a Catch-22 at best, as many of the best trained machinists were Jews that Germany was trying to work-to-death or kill outright. Starved slave laborers are not very productive and might actually constitute a net loss since you're feeding them a starvation diet that only allows them to pass out in factories and be unproductive but is enough to draw rations away from more productive German laborers - whom were often demoralized by the brutality of the regime they witnessed with complete disregard for the lives of foreign conscript workers...\nIn short, I think Hitler believed the easiest way to take Britain was to defeat, or at least severally cripple, the Soviet Union and its government by capturing the most productive areas of industry and agriculture. He would deprive Britain of one of her main hopes and solve the ultimate crisis the Reich faced in terms of access to resources and production shortfalls and limitations - ultimately with an eye towards a total war with the United States and its \"Jewish Shadow Government\". Of course the Russians had another idea about that...\nWhich begs the question: did Hitler ever really intend to invade the UK?\nSimple answer - no - he wanted Britain to surrender or seek peace terms (after all part of the British government did want to seek terms and had spent years appeasing the Germans).\nBut ................\nFrom what I have read (and several years of discussions on various sites and books - including one running to over 10k posts over 7 years) - it was a yes if the issues could be solved (when it became clear early on Britain would continue to fight) - he did not appoint the juniors who did the actual grunt work for the planning (or tried to). He appointed the 'Names' and basically said - get it done - those 'names' appointed the junior staff officers and units that actually did the planning and the development of equipment to be used.\nThose in the higher ranks seemed to be under no illusion in their capability to work together (all arms and forces) and actually cross the channel in force with enough strength to defeat the British, never mind the constant resupply afterwards.\nGoering seemed to be the only one convinced that it could be done, while he seemed to ignore the state of his own forces - propoganda hype or winning streak blinding him to facts maybe.\nThe KM were to block the channel with all available mines at one end (including captured and training mines this amounted to just over 6000 sea mines), the other end was to be covered by shore based artillery - this was supposed to prevent the RN from getting into the channel area.\nA slight problem though that at the height of the threat the RN already around 80 destroyers/corvettes/sloops in the Channel ports, to which must be added the armed trawlers and other boats of the 'Lilliput Navy' - far outnumbering and outclassing the entire KM fleet even with captured vessals included. The RN did not need to get its larger surface fleet into action.\nEven reducing the crews of the KM ships to the bare minimum for their tasks so that the rest could be used to crew the captured and requisitioned ships and boats, they would have to call up just about anyone who had crewed a boat including those who were purely pleasure boat owners - to man all the craft they had.\nThe KM understood this so were less than enthusiastic about planning it (especially after the losses in Norway - including some spectacular losses in destroyers to outnumbered attackers).\nGermany did call up all boat skippers, barges and small craft (over a certain tonnage) even from the lakes in Germany and the occupied zones - it reduced their production capacity due to the disruption to the transportation network. Seems odd to slow down war material production for months just to do something for show.\nHitler did not have a concept of how hard a sea crossing and landing on a hostile shore would be - all their experience was with river crossings (which they assumed could be scaled up), where multiple units could cross with full support from their organic artillery or close air support, using existing bridges/fords or their organic engineer capability - none of which would be present when crossing the channel.\nFrom what I have read (and several years of discussions on various sites and books - including one running to over 10k posts over 7 years)\nSo, where's the book?\nIf you really want to do some reading and have a few brain cells killed off with impossible claims (from both sides)\nhttp://www.armchairgeneral.com/forum...d.php?t=123559\nThere was another long one of WW2 talk I participated in but cant find that one right now (not been on the site for a few years) - 0ne thread was by someone trying to sell a book of his - despite his continual fighting (he claimed it would have been easy to invade Britain and win) he failed to answer valid questions and all his arguments were taken apart - I am really going to have to look at that again - I can get a little passionate or carried away at times about things.\nI am really going to have to look at that again - I can get a little passionate or carried away at times about things.\nIf only I were that keen...\nAnd the requisite alcohol it takes to get through Armchair General threads... :mrgreen:\nAgreed, generally speaking. I think Hitler tended to however not let himself be muddled with military details like logistics and all. I do think Hitler believed that if the British were not sensible enough to simply come to terms the invasion could be worked out, initially. But as he came more to obsess with the Soviet Union and ultimately the Jewish \"controlled\" United States, he thought he would need to secure the resources of the USSR. Hitler had victory disease at this point and had successfully forced his will on his generals hesitant to invade France, and combined with their sensible obstinacy, came up with a (Sickle cut) plan that achieved their victory. I agree he disfavored an invasion of Britain, but I do think he thought it could be done if the necessary resources existed and everything would sort of take care of itself. I think we have to keep in mind also that the Wehrmacht was almost as unprepared for its early victories and there was sort of a \"what next?\" mentality. They didn't even have a real war plan versus the French until well after the Polish Invasion started...\nIt's hard to know what Goering actually believed since he lied so much, he basically lied about everything including the Luftwaffe's ability to take on Britain. But he may well have thought it could be done, but only by willful burying his head in the sand as his underlings told him of the gaping challenges facing German air arms in a long war...\nI think we should add the institutional weakness that the Wehrmacht had as far as its complete inexperience and even ignorance of amphibious warfare. Both the British and American navies had Marines and a lot of institutional naval experience that was lost in Germany after WWI. Of course, Hitler would be rather flippant about that as well. There actually was a small unit of German naval infantry, they were repulsed with heavy casualties in the opening hours of the Polish Campaign.\nI personally think Sealion was nothing but pie-in-the-sky and that both the Heer and Kriegsmarine dragged on plodding as ordered while hoping Hitler would come to his senses and focus on the Soviets - which he did, although that was far from sensible...\nTest.

Just wondering that if people in the UK believe the same, are you disappointed with the size of your military, and the cuts that are happening?\nRe: British Military....?\nShould probably be in a different section, post war than in the British WW2 section but ---\nThe British public until really recently have not been particularly bothered about the military - we were the underdogs to do the various governments wishes with inadequate and very often obsolete equipment.\nMost wars since WW2 Britain has fought in are little heard of and were done with minimum of manpower and equipment, often winning against the odds using hearts and minds campaigns.\nCuts are nothing recent - in the late 1970's to reduce costs the Government slashed the size of the army and equipment (same having been done in the 1940's, 50's and 60's to greater or lesser extents with cancellations of huge numbers of projects).\nDuring gulf War 1 50,000 soldiers (Naval and Airforce personnel were separate from this) received redundancy notices - giving them 1 year left (many were on operations). this reduced the Army to 120,000.\nSince then their has been a steady decline with all governments decreasing military strength and relying on the British Forces attitude - we have a job to do so lets do it - beg borrow or steal to improvise has been the British Army way for time immemorial to make up for deficiencies.\nThe last Labour Government promised to cut Civil Servants by half in the MoD (80,000 strong) but they have a good union so they stayed and the army is now being cut by the coalition (to help pay for the huge debt the UK is in) to just over 80,000.\nThis about sums up the British relationship with its military\nTOMMY by Rudyard Kipling in 1892\nI WENT into a public 'ouse to get a pint o' beer,\nThe publican 'e up an' sez, \" We serve no red-coats here.\"\nO it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' \" Tommy, go away \" ;\nBut it's \" Thank you, Mister Atkins,\" when the band begins to play\nO it's \" Thank you, Mister Atkins,\" when the band begins to play.\nFor it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' \" Tommy, wait outside \";\nBut it's \" Special train for Atkins \" when the trooper's on the tide\nO it's \" Special train for Atkins \" when the trooper's on the tide.\nIs cheaper than them uniforms, an' they're starvation cheap.\nWhile it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an` Tommy, fall be'ind,\"\nBut it's \" Please to walk in front, sir,\" when there's trouble in the wind\nO it's \" Please to walk in front, sir,\" when there's trouble in the wind.\nFor it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an` Chuck him out, the brute! \"\nBut it's \" Saviour of 'is country \" when the guns begin to shoot;\nAn 'Tommy ain't a bloomin' fool - you bet that Tommy sees!\nThread moved to Off topic military.\nleccy - does the MoD really have 80,000 civil servants ? This is more than the War Office had at the height of WW1. I am sure they are all very busy - but what do they all find to do ? Military pensions, perhaps ? Terribly complex procurement procedures ? Trips to Saudi Arabia and Qatar ? I think that you Brits should be told ... Yours from the Cannonballs for the Navy Unit, JR.\nPage 2 of this report by the MoD\nhttps://www.gov.uk/government/upload...-July-2014.pdf\nAt its height in 1990's it was 88,000, in 2010 (10 years after their promise to cut the MoD civil service numbers by half) it was 85,850 (was scaled for 83,000 so over manned by 2,850) in that time the Army alone had lost 50,000 troops.\nMost cuts in the MoD Civil Service were to LEC (locally employed civilians) who ran the canteens, gardening, property maintenance (directly employed or by the various departments) which have been outsourced so the actual numbers of traditionally thought of Civil Servants are still there.\nIt was interesting to note that this particular government doubled the numbers of the civil service in total to around a million employed to fiddle the unemployment figures (one of my friends was employed as a part time IT teacher under it for adults - received a full Civil service pension after three years working).\nOoooh MyyyGoddd!\nI believe the same thing happens here in Holland, and probably in France too. Countries where a labour party has such awful big influence and where the cost of Civil Service in all its forms rises each year, and yet cival servants are (supposed to get) reduced here and there (and external \"specialists\" are rented in for increased rates..), and yet taxes go up year after year.\nThe idea of laying off \"peripheral\" staff is familiar. I recall the outcome of a long-standing Civil Service embargo here in Ireland. The idea was that \"one in every three\" Civil Servants would be shed as retirements occurred. It was subsequently shown that the pattern of retirements was manipulated to secure the result that the vast majority of shed \"posts\" were at the lowest level, while recruitment and promotion to higher level posts went on. It was, perhaps, fortunate that the shedding of posts such as Clerk/Typist and Messenger was, coincidentally, facilitated to some extent by the advance of technology. Nonetheless, the instinct involved, common to bureaucracies in general, is evident ... JR.\nIn recent days, there have been rumors (strenuously denied by the British Ministry of Defence) that the latest round of defence cuts will involve the dissolution of what remains of the Gurkha complement in the British Army - a bit surprising in a way, since the fact that it has survived so long is often put down to the fact that employment of these soldiers is relatively inexpensive. The way things are going, the MoD itself will soon have more civil servants than the Army has soldiers. If, indeed, the intention is to eliminate the Gurkha complement, it would appear sad, stupid and ... ungrateful. While they can reasonably be described as mercenaries, the Gurkhas have provided Britain with exceptional service over the last century and a half. They have more than their share of Victoria Crosses (often posthumous), and their veterans have been treated disgracefully by successive British governments, having to fight hard for very basic entitlements. Plaudits to actress Johanna Lumley for promoting their cause - her father was an officer in the Gurkha Rifles. Maybe they were mercenaries. However, mercenaries often have their honor - and the little men from Nepal surely had. Best of fortune to all of them.\nI know that some In Here will disagree with me - but it does appear that Britain has effectively abandoned any idea of \"strong defence\", at least as delivered by its own forces. Much easier to pare away at the Forces than to cut other areas of expenditure. And yet - Britain still masquerades as a \"great power\". Don't mind, really; but it would be nice if they were honest ... Yours from MoD, Decommissioning Division (not understaffed), JR.\nBritain is a small nation and has traditionally paired down its land forces after a conflict. The RN was always Britain's strongest defence resource as it had the communications of an empire to protect. To some extent the global role of the navy remains as Britain remains the largest trading nation per capita. With the withdrawal from empire and the recent withdrawal from Europe, it is difficult to define, and plan for, the future role of ground forces: how many regular armoured divisions are required; where will they be based; how will they be manned with falling recruiting numbers? The RN are to have two large carrier task forces which are somewhat costly, not to mention the cost of the aircraft which will eventually be allocated to them. Of course it would be easier to maintain a larger conventional force if the nuclear deterrent was abandoned. I believe the cost of renewal of the Trident submarine deterrent is somewhere in the region 100,000 million pounds stirling. It's a big ask on the tax payer to maintain large forces for unpopular small wars. However, Mr Putin's recent behaviour may have gone some way to make the public a little more sympathetic to the needs of the armed forces.\nHello, 32Bravo. I am sure you are following the emerging debate in Britain's debate (in connection with the imminent General Election) on the subject of defence. One wholly unsurprising element of the behind-the-scenes debate is the division between land forces and Navy commanders as to the proper emphasis for allocation of resources. The land forces people advance an understandable argument that the future of the British Armed Forces is in a small, professional army, well-equipped, capable of intervening in \"hot spots\" the world over. The counter-argument of the admirals is that continued British capability depends on an integrated force capable of executing and supporting tactical intervention (destroyers, aircraft carriers), and that Britain's \"independent\" strategic deterrent (Trident and/or post-Trident) needs to be maintained. It is somewhat amusing that, while the Conservative Party advocates the maintenance of three \"strategic\" nuclear submarines (capable of nuking a large part of \"enemy\" population) while the Labour Party now advocates a fleet of four super-nuke submarines, to ensure that the RN has the capacity to operate continuous patrols on a three-submarine basis. Actually, they are probably right - but it is a somewhat odd situation.\nBoiling all this down - given that Britain cannot hope to keep up in a race of strategic resources with the real powers of the world - the US, China and (arguably) Russia, it needs to make choices. The most likely choice on the table at the moment seems to be to continue to plough huge sums of money into strategic nuclear submarines, while continuing to \"slim down\" its conventional capability. Is this a good idea ? How would I know - only an ignorant Paddy, me. To be fair, there is the matter of the fragile \"special relationship\" between the USA and the UK; from a US point of view, this seems connected with the willingness and ability of the UK to maintain its position in the Western defensive structure, including its long-debated nuclear capacity. We only have to give them a bowl of shamrock on St Patrick's Day. Sometimes, pretending to be \"strong\" has its disadvantages ... Yours from the bridge of Red October, JR.\nNot sure why you would describe yourself as an ignorant Paddy. I've never met such a creature. A bit of an oxymoron, methinks.\nIt appears to me that the problems are strategic in that future requirements cannot be reliably predicted as future threats become more and more unpredictable. Who would have predicted the rise of ISIS a year or so ago?\nNaturally, each of the armed services will fight its corner. However, the planners have to consider the demands of higher strategy.\nThat being the integrated functions of diplomacy (foreign policy) and the three branches of the armed forces.\nHigher strategy having a relationship with, say, army strategy, as army strategy as with tactics. Army strategy is, arguably, concerned with the area of the campaign (this is minor strategy), while tactics are concerned with the area of battle.\nHigher strategy is concerned with the whole arena of the international struggle. What will that be in the future?\nDifficult to plan for given a limited budget.\nNo, I'm not following the debate regarding defence in the election campaign. Simply because I haven't come across any defence debate or any other election debate for that matter, worth following. If I were Scottish I'd go SNP.\nLast edited by 32Bravo; 04-19-2015 at 11:04 AM.\nThis I find interesting.\n82nd Airborne and 3 PARA Lead the Way for Interoperability\nBy Staff Sgt.

The brigade\u2019s field training exercise from August 5-12 served as the culminating event for the combined team of 1st Battalion, 325th Airborne Infantry Regiment plus the 3 PARA\u2019s B Coy., setting the stage for interoperable company teams ready to respond to global contingencies as part of a combined battalion task force.

Designed around 1714 in an attempt (initially frustrated) to standardize British military muskets, the first were only assembled and issued in 1739/'40 (as the Long Land Pattern musket) - a bit late for those battles, at any rate. On the other hand, in truth, military flintlocks (albeit not standardized) had been the dominant battlefield firearm from about 1670, and a soldier of the Napoleonic Wars would have had little difficulty in getting to grips with the flintlocks used by his ancestors of the late-17th century. A case of being right in spirit, perhaps ? Best regards, JR.",

        "title": "Zanziber's Point of View: The Walking Dead Volume 18: What Comes After",
        "raw_content": "Title: The Walking Dead Volume 18: What Comes After\nI\u2019ve spent plenty of time talking about how The Walking Dead is better read in trade format, as opposed to one issue per month. The way the series is usually paced, it helps when dealing with some of the second and third string characters, who we sometimes don\u2019t see for months at a time when we\u2019re reading the issues as I come out. This book, however, is the exception to that rule. Leave it to Kirkman to prove me wrong.\nShortly after Glenn\u2019s brutal, merciless murder, Rick and his camp find themselves at the mercy of his murderer Negan, and his gang the Saviors. For perhaps the first time since the zombie apocalypse began, Rick finds himself in a state of submission\u2026or does he? Either way, one person who isn\u2019t backing down is Carl. When Carl stows away in one of the Saviors\u2019 vehicles, he sets himself up for a deadly confrontation. And unlike his father, Carl isn\u2019t afraid to confront Negan face-to-face.\nCarl being trapped with the Saviors made almost every book in this issue pretty hard to close. Negan had been established as such a heartless killer. And despite his bravery, Carl is more vulnerable than ever. Kirkman and Adlard essentially put an infant in front of an oncoming train for a few months, and made us watch as the train came closer and closer. Interestingly enough, what Negan ends up doing with Carl raises more questions about the leader of the Saviros than answers.\nBut I love the Negan character. He\u2019s turned out to be just what I hoped he would: The perfect shot in the arm for the series. Though he\u2019s tremendously easy to hate, in a bizarre way he\u2019s also very likable. He\u2019s almost like the Joker, in that he somehow makes you chuckle at the most inappropriate times. For instance, there\u2019s a scene where he forces Carl to remove the bandage over the gaping hole where his right eye once was. Negan\u2019s reaction of astonishment and awe is actually child-like in its own right. With a grin on his face, he refers to Carl\u2019s face as disgusting and cross, and actually asks if he can touch the wound. This reaction reduces even usually tough and reserved boy to tears. Seeing Carl\u2019s tears, he abruptly backpedals. \u201cOh, damn. Look..holy sh** kid. I\u2019m sorry. I didn\u2019t mean to\u2026\u201d The idea that this madman, who just five issues ago beat a man\u2019s skull in with a baseball bat, is shaken by a child\u2019s tears, is amusing in a very dark way. Negan\u2019s balance between juvenile and sadistic behavior makes him difficult to read. That, of course, makes for a great villain.\nI\u2019ve been enjoying the new characters Kirkman and Adlard have introduced is to in the last 15 to 20 issues. For a while there the older characters, (Rick, Carl, Andrea, Michonne, Glenn, etc.) were the only ones I found myself caring about. But Jesus has proved to be a nice addition to the series, and pretty bad ass when you get right down to it. His stealth and fighting skills, combined with his desire to earn Rick\u2019s trust have made him very likable. There\u2019s also Dwight, a member of Negan\u2019s crew who is nicely expanded on in this book. At the very least, the mutilation of his face makes him very distinguishable from anyone else in the series.\nThen there\u2019s Ezekiel, who is without question one of the most memorable characters the series has seen. Mind you, I\u2019m saying that and he\u2019s not even in this book for an entire issue. He plays the role a merciful medieval king, joyfully commanding his knights, armor and all. He also has a friggin\u2019 tiger as a pet. To say the least, this is different from anything Kirkman and Adlard have given us before. In this case, different is very, very good. At minimum, we know we\u2019re eventually going to see somebody get mauled by a tiger! Question: If an animal eats a zombie, does it contract the contagion? If so, I\u2019ve got three words for you: Zombie friggin\u2019 tiger!\nFor a while there, I was seriously concerned The Walking Dead had peaked. But it seems the series just needed to get its second wind, which began with issue 100. The book is exciting again, which thankfully ensures it will continue to have a nice, long life. Or\u2026death? Undeath? You get the idea.",

        "raw_content": "Search engine optimization is an Internet marketing strategy which increases the quality and quantity of traffic flow to a website.\nyour free website promotion\nhow you can get free advertising\nIn today's Internet-linked and net-savvy world it has become commonplace for any business to have a website which they use primarily for advertising their products and services.\nWith the growth of search engines it has become even easier for the customers to search for stuff online. As you can understand, for a business website to be successful its link should wind up on the first three pages which the search engine display to the searcher, and the rank of the page should be high which will mean that many visitors will come to the site. This can be achieved by applying search engine optimization, popularly known as SEO. This is an Internet marketing strategy which increases the quality and quantity of traffic flow to a particular website via search engines.\nSEO not only affects the search engine results, but also image search, video search and industry specific vertical search engines as well. It determines how search algorithms function and what searches are popular with people.\nHere's how your website becomes known.\nWhen your website link is submitted to a search engine, a specially designed program, called a \"spider\" crawls through a page to gather links which lead to other pages and stores those pages on the server of the search engine. The information collected from these pages is then sent to the indexer, whose job is to extract information from those pages such as the keywords and their weights, the location of the page and other links that are stored for the spider to crawl in future.\nIn the beginning, the search engine optimizer algorithms were very dependant on keywords, Meta tags, and index files provided by the Webmaster. Meta tags provided information about a particular page, but using them for indexing the pages didn\u2019t prove to be successful as some Webmasters added irrelevant Meta tags to increase the number of hits and earn huge ad revenue. They even changed the HTML of the web pages to achieve a good rank for the page. One common technique, for example was to fill a page with relevant keywords the same color as the background.\nThis could be considered a case of abuse as it often caused the search engine to fetch irrelevant pages.\nSearch engines then making use of more complex ranking algorithms, which were more difficult for the webmasters to manipulate. This resulted in surfers being provided with genuine results. The rank of the web page is calculated mathematically by various functions using the strength and quantity of the inbound links. The higher the rank of the page the more chances it had to be viewed by a human website visitor. Later, algorithms were developed which considered various other on-page factors such as rank and off-page factors such as hyperlinks. Since the webmasters couldn\u2019t manipulate the page rank, they began exchanging, selling and buying links, which lead to link spamming and the creation of numerous sites dedicated for this purpose.\nAlgorithms became more and more complex every passing day and top search engines kept, and still keep, their algorithms a secret. As the cost of SEO increased, advertisers were tasked to help pay for it, which finally resulted in high quality web pages. Although investing in SEO is very fruitful, at the same time it is risky for the website owner because without any prior notice the algorithms being used are often changed and the search engine stops directing visitors to the page.\nMany consultants are available in the market that provides SEO services to website owners. They manipulate the HTML source code of the web site like menus, shopping carts, and sometimes even the content of the website itself, in order to draw more traffic to the site.\nSearch engines like Yahoo have algorithms that extract pages, not according to the page rank, but according to the cost per click or set fee, that is if a advertiser desires that the page containing his or her ad be displayed, he or she is expected to pay money for it. This is a point of controversy, as often only the big businesses will be able to increase the number of hits of their page but not the small business who might be having a better quality page.\nGoogle Ad Words explores ads which have words typed in the search box by the surfer. The Million Dollar Homepage started the concept of Pixel advertising, which is a graphical kind of advertising. Depending on the pixels, the space is sold to the advertiser. Keyword advertising involves advertisers who buy URLs of a site and place their ads at that location.\nThus SEO has become a market in its own right and is yielding great results for businesses on Internet.\nYou will find what you are looking for about Advertising and Search Engine Optimization here",

As I write this, Lindon has no idea that I've included him as part of this Blog.

So Lindon, as you read this, remember this is the price you pay for having me as your partner!\nNot sure what this Blog will turn out to be. What I do know is that one of my life's guiding principles is that I never want to regret NOT DOING something. I'm OK with doing something and regretting I did it. However I don't want to look back and wish I'd done something. So now that I started this project, I may look back and regret it but at least I won't be regretting that I didn't do it. Who's on first?\nAnyway this might turn out to be fun. For years, our long-term clients have urged Lindon and I to publish some of our favorite movie lines.

        "raw_content": "A ship needs a rudder, a ship needs a captain, and a ship needs appropriate health and safety information. Who is the captain of your ship, and who has their hand on the rudder? And most importantly, do you have a life-jacket? Is there a door opening up in your life? If so then close it, or at most leave it only slightly ajar. No, no, no, no, no, no, no! Don't give in to the idiots who are wrong.\nYour friends will tell you that you have to make up your mind regarding your big problem. They will tell you that you must sink or swim. Remember though,that there is a third option. Try to achieve a state of neutral buoyancy. Take a deep breath and think to yourself 'Is this really who I am?'. If the answer is 'no', then be afraid, very afraid. A Limpet you know well, a new carpet, and a weak bladder will combine with tragic consequences this week.\nAre you happy? Are you sad? Are you content? Are you restless? The answers to 3 of these questions will not be revealed this week. Your challenge for this week is to clear your head of all thoughts concerning sex and mustard. You once knew a Limpet who was vile, repugnant, and had a tendency to sweat heavily. Well bad news for you because that very same family member will be knocking on your door this week.\nThis might be the sort of crazy week where you should try to do the exact opposite of what everyone tries to tell you to do. One exception to this would be if anyone tells you to do the opposite of what you would normally do. You think that someone is out to get you, you think that they want to see you squashed like a bug. You are wrong. They are wrong. Everyone is wrong. Hook up with an Octopus on Monday if you want to see a good time that doesn't involve ambulances.\nAvoid photographs this week if you think that your illicit affair may be caught on camera. If you wear too much make-up on Tuesday, you could be in for trouble when someone close to you mistakes you for someone even closer to them. This might be a very important week for your career, especially if you carry a jar of mustard with you everywhere you go.\nDo you remember that when you were young, that your parents said 'When you grow up, you have the potential to do anything you want to in life'? They were lying. You only have the potential to be a failure. You will receive a call this week with fantastic news about a possible love interest. Unfortunately, it will be a wrong number. You know the old saying 'Don't worry, be happy'? Well you will worry, and you won't be happy. Such is the life of a Slug.\nWhy is everyone so keen on cheese these days? You know that steering clear of the yellow stuff is the right thing to do. You can dance this week if you think that kicking up your heels will make you happier. By the way, it won't. Get some attention this week by wearing 7 items of clothing on Monday, and then remove an item each day\nIn a parallel universe you were born as Gloria Steinem. Don't get too excited, because you are still living in this universe. If you see anybody this week who looks like Alfred Hitchcock, you should immediately ask them for the time, but only if their watch is on their right wrist. You might find it useful to spend some this week in the company of seagulls. Just make sure you wear appropriate headwear.\nYou will breathe more deeply this week when things that you want appear on the horizon, in a shimmering cloud. Sometimes it is good to try something new. Sunday will offer you the best chance that you will ever have to try something new that involves cheese. You will find yourself in one of those situations where time is of the essence this week. However, a portly Barnacle involved in a roller-skating experiment is going to ensure that your scheduling goes out the window.\nWhy will the color red be important to you this week? The answer to that question may only be revealed when you end up in a police station or supermarket on Thursday. Happy. Happy. Happy. Happy. Sad. Sad. Sad. Sad. Which one of these will you be this week? There is a Squid that you really like. There is a Squid that really likes you. Unfortunately they are half your age and live on the other side of the world.",

She was an amazing woman and it was a true honor.\"\nHilary Duff on the streets of Los Angeles, Jan 3, 2018.\nBut Debra Tate doesn't feel like her sister, who was killed in 1969 at the age of 26, is being honored at all by the upcoming film, \"The Haunting of Sharon Tate.\"\n\"It doesn\u2019t matter who it is acting in it -- it\u2019s just tasteless. It\u2019s classless how everyone is rushing to release something for the 50th anniversary of this horrific event,\" she told People magazine.\nA request for comment from Duff was not immediately returned to ABC News.\nSharon Tate was murdered almost five decades ago when Charles Manson and his followers stabbed the pregnant actress and a few of her friends to death at her home on Aug. 9, 1969. Manson himself died this past November while still incarcerated and Debra Tate has said that his death brought her and her family no closure at all.\n\"People are saying that this should be some kind of relief, but oddly enough, it really isn't,\" she told ABC News last year.\nIn the new People magazine interview, the still-grieving sister also slammed the plot of the film, specifically a part in which Sharon Tate has a premonition that she's going to die.\n\"I checked with all of her living friends.

        "raw_content": "Leave a Comment on How to get over your fear of exercise\nThe benefits of physical activity are well known. In the short term, doing some exercise can improve your mood and help you sleep better, as well as giving you a sense of accomplishment. Over the longer term, it can lower your risk of many chronic diseases, help keep your weight under control and strengthen your muscles and bones.\nThat said, knowing the facts isn\u2019t always enough. Around a quarter of adults in the UK are totally sedentary, managing less than half an hour of moderate activity a week. Last year, a report by Public Health England found that 6 million middle-aged adults fail to take so much as a brisk walk once a month.\nOf course, exercise is a very personal issue, and everyone\u2019s circumstances are different. However, there are some frequently occurring obstacles that may stand in the way of getting fit. Whether these are practical hurdles (like finding time) or mental blocks (like feeling self-conscious), it\u2019s common to find that physical activity falls down your priority list.\n\u201cThere are many reasons why you may feel apprehensive about starting an exercise routine,\u201d says Laura Williams, a personal trainer. \u201cYou may already be pushed for time, suffer with flagging energy levels or find it difficult to imagine how exercise could ever be enjoyable. Combine this with a lack of exercise know-how and previous bad experiences, and you have the perfect recipe for abandoning all fitness plans!\u201d\nPressures and priorities\nThese issues may feel particularly salient at this time of year, as New Year\u2019s resolutions start to fall by the wayside. According to Kate Dale, who heads up the This Girl Can campaign at Sport England, the pressure to transform your life in January can actually prove counterproductive.\n\u201cAt New Year, people have all these goals around weight loss and fitness, and we\u2019re keen to take some of the pressure off,\u201d she says. \u201cYou don\u2019t need to commit to 100 press-ups a day or five-mile runs every morning \u2013 it\u2019s just about finding something you enjoy doing, and being more active than you currently are.\u201d\nThis Girl Can, which aims to improve women\u2019s participation in exercise, was started in response to research around the gender gap in sport. Far fewer women than men regularly exercise (two million of them in the 14-40 age bracket alone). However, three quarters of those surveyed would like to be more active, implying that something is stopping them.\n\u201cWomen told us lots of of different things that got in the way,\u201d says Kate Dale. \u201cIt might be down to their experiences of PE at school, which weren\u2019t particularly positive. They might have worries over what people think or what they look like, and there might also be issues around priorities \u2013 for instance, whether they should spend their time doing this when they\u2019ve got young families.\u201d\nShe adds that these issues aren\u2019t exclusive to women. Many men also grew up feeling as though physical activity wasn\u2019t for them, particularly if they weren\u2019t part of the \u2018sporty\u2019 clique at school. Whatever your background, it can be daunting to launch into a fitness regime from scratch.\nSo if you\u2019re keen to up your activity levels this year, but are feeling less than confident, what might be a good way to begin?\n\u201cThe trick is not to let your fears and apprehensions overwhelm you to the point where you do nothing,\u201d says Laura Williams. \u201cStart by separating fact from fiction: are your fears founded? The great thing about exercise is that whatever the barrier you face, the chances are there\u2019s always a way around it.\u201d\nFor instance, if you don\u2019t like the thought of going to the gym (or lack the money to do so), you might prefer to try an online workout. There are many apps that can help, providing routines you can do from your living room. This Girl Can has an activity finder on its website, offering suggestions from archery to orienteering. And if you\u2019re interested in running, you may want to try the NHS\u2019s C25K plan, as well attending your local Parkrun for non-competitive support.\nThe important thing is to shop around until you find something you like. Every person is wired differently, and what works for your Crossfit-loving friend may not be what works for you.\n\u201cThere are so many things to do, there\u2019ll be something you enjoy. It can be as simple as dancing round your living room energetically to whichever tunes you grew up with,\u201d says Kate Dale.\nIf time is an issue, it\u2019s important to remember that even very short bursts of activity can make a difference. Last year, Public Health England launched its Active10 app, which allows you to set your own goals, starting with one 10-minute brisk walk a day. Research has shown that even this level of exercise can bring health benefits, cutting your risk of an early death by as much as 15%.\nShow your body who\u2019s boss\nFor those who struggle with self-consciousness, it\u2019s worth remembering the old adage that nobody will ever judge you as harshly as you are judging yourself. Many people find that exercise helps with body image, by shifting the focus from what they look like to what they can do.\n\u201cOnce you get to the point where you don\u2019t care about the judgement of others, it becomes much easier to address the practical barriers you may have as well,\u201d says Kate Dale. \u201cIt\u2019s about getting your mental state to the point where you want to get out and do it.\u201d\nShe adds that This Girl Can provides a powerful sense of community for women who want to become more active. Currently, there are 800,000 women on its social media channels, who encourage and motivate each other, helping dispel the myth that exercise is just for an elite.\n\u201cYou don\u2019t want to miss out on the self-esteem boosting effects of exercise because you\u2019re listening to that repetitive internal dialogue,\u201d adds Laura Williams. \u201cShow your body who\u2019s boss by lacing up your trainers, heading out the door and getting your sweat on.\u201d\nTags: exercise fitness self-esteem sport\nPrevious Entry Funding med tech innovation from the ground up\nNext Entry What can we learn from Britain\u2019s healthiest companies?",

C. Viano\nThe use of clinical neuropsychological tests in the evaluation of National Football League (NFL) players has been ongoing for more than two decades. Prior research has demonstrated that the NFL population may perform differently than the general population on standard paper and pencil neuropsychological tests. Given the increased interest in the longitudinal and long-term assessment of neurocognitive functioning in this group of athletes, we reviewed the published neuropsychological literature in an attempt to compile an initial compendium of available normative data on paper and pencil as well as computerized neuropsychological tests for this group of football players. Thirteen published studies met the inclusion criteria, and the results are presented by athlete status (active vs. retired) and classified by neuropsychological domain.

He left ACU to take a post at Faulkner University in Montgomery, Ala.\nDr. Jan Meyer has been serving as the interim vice president for Student Life since Thompson\u2019s departure.\nDr. Allison Garrett, executive vice president, described Meyer as \u201can extremely talented and dynamic administrator.\u201d Meyer previously served at the executive director of the Center for Christian Service and Leadership.\n\u201cShe has a broad student life experience, as well as a deep knowledge of ACU culture and people,\u201d Garrett said.\nMeyer began filling the role at the end of February, two weeks before Thompson left.\nShe said one of the major duties she has undertaken is managing the staffing of Student Life.\n\u201cWe\u2019ve had a good bit of transition since February,\u201d she said. \u201cThat\u2019s normal anytime you have some leadership changes. You\u2019re bound to have some transition in staffing. So I\u2019ve spent a good bit of the time hiring and training some new staff and working through transition as people leave and people come.\u201d\nShe said the search for new staff members includes the director of the Career Center, director of Residence Life and executive assistant to the vice president of Student Life.\nMeyer said one of the primary problems she dealt with in April and May were the positions lost due to budget issues. She said the Student Life directors met regularly over the summer to plan for the fall semester. She deals with strategic issues on a regular basis, including housing for the next two years. She also handles day-to-day issues and communication between Student Life and the university.\nHer upcoming duties include planning for the spring semester and co-chairing the Christian Identity sub-committee for ACU\u2019s Strategic Plan.\nGarrett said Mark Lewis, assistant dean for Spiritual Life and Chapel Programs, will take on a portion of the responsibilities previously held by Thompson.\n\u201cMost students probably know him as the \u2018Chapel Guy,\u2019 but he has a background in counseling and ministry and will do a marvelous job working more closely with individual students in this role,\u201d Garrett said.\nMeyer said she asked Lewis to serve as the interim associate dean of students.\n\u201cHe\u2019ll follow up with a number of the judicial affairs issues, he\u2019ll meet with some of the students that I won\u2019t have the opportunity to meet with to discuss either judicial issues or student concerns, so we\u2019ll divide up some of those tasks,\u201d she said.\nMeyer said Student Life was sad to see Thompson leave.\n\u201cWe are honoring our respect for him by coming in and doing a great job,\u201d she said. \u201cI love and respect him as a leader and I miss him, but we\u2019re moving on and it\u2019s all going to be good.\u201d\u009d\nShe said the office is excited and optimistic about the new team members and \u201cunexpected blessings\u201d to come.\nFiled Under: News Tagged With: Dean Search, Student Life",

        "raw_content": "It has been one heck of a road for Lindb\u00e4ck to get to where he is at this stage of his career. He was a seventh round selection of the Nashville Predators in the 2008 NHL Draft and would make the leap from his native Sweden to North America for the 2010-11 season.\nNow, here is what I\u2019d like you to think about. What if the recently signed goaltender Miroslav Svoboda plays the majority of next season in the NHL and makes 20 or more appearances? If that sounds nutty it certainly didn\u2019t in that 2010-11 season because that is exactly what happened for Lindb\u00e4ck and the Predators.\nLindb\u00e4ck was thrust instantly into the fires of the NHL and he really never escaped the heat until last season. All of his development time came with a touch of home cooking in Sweden and straight into the frantic nature of high level NHL competition. His play was turbulent and consistency erratic. And it made for an adventure that saw him join five different NHL organizations in five seasons.\nWhen the red flag really lifted was last season. There was no NHL contract on the table for Lindb\u00e4ck. In fact, the best offer he could get was to sign a professional try-out (PTO) contract with the Ontario Reign to start the 2016-17 season. He made 4 starts, had a record of 2-1-1-0, and held a 3.40 goals against average and 0.870 save percentage. He was released midway through November. After six-years of work he flew back home to play hockey in Sweden for R\u00f6gle BK.\nI\u2019m not sure what it was after the trials and tribulations that Lindb\u00e4ck had went through that made the Predators organization think he\u2019s worth going back to the well on. He did decent work with R\u00f6gle BK -but- it\u2019s the Swedish Hockey League and he wasn\u2019t on the minds of anyone a season prior. Perhaps it was just worth the chance to give someone, noted as an extremely good person and hard worker, another shot. It was a low risk, high reward gamble that paid off.\nWhen speaking with Milwaukee Admirals head coach Dean Evason ahead of this season he mentioned that Lindb\u00e4ck was going to be \u201cthe guy\u201d for them in net. It was obvious right from the beginning he would be the anchor and made all the more so once the regular season started. In almost every game Lindb\u00e4ck would make a highlight reel save but, more than anything, kept an Admirals team with an up-and-down nature in hockey games where they could have otherwise been blown out of the building. If Lindb\u00e4ck was not the goaltender of choice for this season? I cringe at the idea of how early the fate of the Admirals season would have been finalized. With him in net? The Admirals played meaningful hockey until the final week of the season.\nAnd here is the thing, too. His numbers weren\u2019t the flashiest thing and he would occasionally overplay the puck behind his net and cause some turnovers that would end up right back in his net. What sticks out to me through that is the amount of times he was active around his net and alleviated so much more damage than he was already facing on a regular basis. Lindb\u00e4ck faced 1736 shots this season. It is the most shots against from a goaltender playing in 60 or less games in the AHL since Connor Hellebuyck in 2014-15. By contrast, Lindb\u00e4ck won more games (31 wins) in less work (56 games) with a better goals against average (2.82) than Hellebuyck did that year. Lindb\u00e4ck never stopped battling.\nWhat happens next for Lindb\u00e4ck? That became a very big question after yesterday\u2019s news from the Predators. It seems Troy Grosenick, who was acquired from the San Jose Sharks at the NHL Trade Deadline this season, is positioned to be that third choice goaltender for the Predators and \u201cthe guy\u201d for the Admirals next season. Svoboda and Niclas Westerholm will be the projects for the next two to three seasons.\nWhere all of that puts Lindb\u00e4ck is in a position where he likely will need to look outside the Predators organization for work. It hasn\u2019t been since the 2010-11 season that the Predators stationed four of their own contracted goaltenders beneath the NHL and into the AHL and ECHL. It just feels that the writing is on the wall at this stage.\nYet, if the Predators were smart and could open that pocket book open for Milwaukee, it would make all the sense in the world to do this all over one more time. If Pekka Rinne or Juuse Saros were to suffer significant injuries? If Grosenick gets hurt next season and is out at the same time that Rinne or Saros would get hurt? What do the Predators actually have? It\u2019s a dangerous game that the Predators are playing at: cost effectiveness and with the hope of staying injury free. From a risk management standpoint? It\u2019s unsettling.\nSo, why not do this again? Is it really to save a few margins of a percentage on AHL spending? I can\u2019t imagine there was a player in the AHL this season who made a bigger individual impact on their team than the soon to be 30-year old Swede in Milwaukee.\nNo one played more hockey in net in the AHL this season than Lindb\u00e4ck: 56 games of a 76 game schedule and 3382:32 of net-time. That\u2019s quite an insurance policy to have if you\u2019re Nashville and one that showed he still has what it takes to be an NHL caliber goaltender. It would be an absolute shame to see Lindb\u00e4ck walk away after a season like this. Everything that was good about the Admirals in 2017-18 started with Lindb\u00e4ck in net. Everything.",

        "title": "Zoysiagrass | Archives | Aggie Horticulture",
        "raw_content": "Distribution and Origin. Zoysiagrasses are warm season grasses native to China, Japan and other parts of Southeast Asia. The species was named to commemorate an 18th century Austrian botanist, Karl von Zois. In 1911, Zoysia matrella was introduced into the United States from Manila by a U.S.D.A. botanist, C. V. Piper. Because of its origin the grass was commonly called Manila grass.\nPiper described the grass as abundant on or near the seashore in the Philippine Islands. When closely clipped, it made a beautiful lawn according to Piper's notes. He suggested that the grass had unusual promise as a lawn grass along the Gulf Coast and Atlantic coast of Florida.\nZoysia japonica, sometimes called \"Japanese lawn grass\" or \"Korean lawn grass\", is a coarser textured, but more cold hardy species than Zoysia matrella. Zoysia japonica was introduced into the United States in 1895 from the Manchurian Province of China. In the United States, Zoysia japonica could be expected to do very well as far north as Maryland. It is a seeded variety of Zoysia.\nThe third species of Zoysia used for turf is called Korean velvet grass or Mascarene grass, Zoysia tenuifolia. It is a very fine textured species, but is the least cold tolerant of the three species. Zoysia tenuifolia is native to the Far East and was introduced in the U.S. from the Mascarene Islands. In the U.S. it is used in southern California as a low growing ground cover.\nDescription. Zoysiagrasses are sod-forming perennial species that possess both stolons and rhizomes. The grasses turn brown after the first hard frost and are among the first warm season grasses to green up in the spring. The species vary from extremely fine textured to coarse textured types and the leaf blades are very stiff due to a high silica content.\nLeaves are rolled in the bud shoot. Leaf blades are smooth with occasional hairs near the base, margins are smooth and blades are sharply pointed. Ligule is a fringe of hairs. Auricles are absent. Leaf sheath is round to slightly flattened, split, glabrous, but with a tuft of hair at the throat. Inflorescence is a short, terminal spikelike raceme with spikelets on short appressed pedicels.\nAdaptation and Use. A highly versatile species, zoysiagrasses make ideal lawn grasses in some situations and can be used on golf courses, parks and athletic fields. They can be grown in all kinds of soils ranging from sands to clays and both acid and alkaline in reaction. In the U.S., zoysiagrasses are adapted along the Atlantic coast from Florida to Connecticut and along the Gulf Coast to Texas. They are also adapted throughout the transition zone of the U.S. and in California.\nIn the southern U.S., the zoysiagrasses grow well in moderately shaded locations. In cooler climates, zoysiagrass does not perform as well under shade as some other species.\nZoysiagrass is extremely drought tolerant. Although it does turn straw colored under severe drought conditions, it has the capacity to respond to subsequent irrigation or rainfall. Its water requirements are similar to those of bermudagrass. The leaf blades of zoysiagrass are among the first to roll under drought conditions, thus it tends to conserve moisture more effectively than other species. Zoysiagrass also has a deep root system allowing it to more effectively extract water from greater soil depths.\nZoysiagrass is nearly as salt tolerant as bermudagrass. It is widely grown along sandy seashores where drainage is adequate. Zoysiagrass does not tolerate poorly drained soils whether they are saline or otherwise.\nZoysiagrasses are among the most wear tolerant turfgrasses. However, their slow rate of growth gives them very poor recuperative potential. Therefore, they perform satisfactorily on lawns, golf course fairways and baseball fields. But, they are not recommended for football or soccer fields where traffic is concentrated in certain areas of the field. If the grass is completely worn in those areas, zoysiagrass is very slow to fill in the damaged areas.\nVarieties. There are three principal species of zoysiagrass used for turf: Zoysia japonica, Zoysia matrella, and Zoysia tenuifolia. These species are differentiated by texture, cold tolerance and aggressiveness.\nZoysia japonica, often called Korean or Japanese lawngrass, was introduced into the U.S. in 1895. Zoysia japonica is more cold tolerant than the other species, but is also the most coarse textured of the three species. Zoysia japonica is the only zoysiagrass species that can be established from seed.\nMeyer zoysiagrass is an improved strain of Zoysia japonica. It was selected from a population of plants grown from seed by the U.S.D.A. in 1941. It was evaluated by the U.S.D.A., U.S.G.A., and state universities and released jointly by the U.S.D.A. and U.S.G.A. in 1951. The selection was named in honor of Frank N. Meyer, a plant explorer for the U.S.D.A. who made the first collection of zoysiagrass seed in Korea in 1905.\nMeyer was selected primarily for its texture, color, and vigor compared to other zoysiagrass selections. Meyer is slow to become established and must be propagated by sod or sprigs. Once established it develops a very dense turf, demonstrates good cold tolerant and grows well in partial shade. Meyer is best adapted to the transition zone where summers are too hot and humid for cool season grasses and winters too cold for bermudagrass.\nBelair and El Toro are new releases of Zoysia japonica from U.S.D.A. and the University of California, respectively. Both are coarser textured, but faster spreading varieties than Meyer.\nZoysia matrella was introduced into the U.S. in 1911 from Manilla. It is chiefly a tropical and subtropical grass, but can be grown as far north as Connecticut in the U.S. Zoysia matrella grows well in moderate shade and forms a thick mat in full sun. The leaf blades of Zoysia matrella are narrow, sharply pointed and wiry. In tropical climates the grass remains green year around. But, in cooler climates it turns brown after several hard frosts and remains brown until late spring. Zoysia matrella must be propagated from sprigs and is quite slow to become established.\nZoysia tenuifolia is the finest textured, least winter hardy of the zoysiagrasses. It has very fine, short, wiry leaf blades and forms a dense, fluffy turf. It is extremely slow to spread and is most often used as a ground cover.\nEmerald zoysiagrass is a hybrid between Zoysia japonica and Zoysia tenuifolia released by the U.S.D.A. and the Georgia Agricultural Experiment Station in 1955. Emerald combines the fine texture of Zoysia tenuifolia with the cold tolerance and faster rate of spread of Zoysia japonica. Emerald is similar to Zoysia matrella in appearance and habit.\nZoysiagrasses can be established from seed, sprigs or sod. Zoysia japonica is the only species that can be established from seed.\nMeyer and Emerald zoysiagrass, Manila grass and Zoysia tenuifolia must be propagated vegetatively from sprigs, plugs or sod. The slow rate of spread of zoysiagrass makes seedbed preparation and planting techniques very important to successful establishment of a zoysia turf.\nThe seedbed should be finely pulverized, smooth, firm, and weed-free prior to planting. Zoysiagrass sod may be shredded or torn apart to provide sprigs or it may be cut into 2-inch sod plugs for planting. A sprig should consist of a section of stem or rhizome with 2 or more nodes. Leaves do not need to be present.\nSprigs should be planted no more than 2 inches apart in rows spaced 6 inches apart, or broadcast over an area at a rate of 10 bushels per 1,000 sq. ft. If planted in rows it is important that the sprigs not be completely covered with soil. At least one node should be above soil level. If sprigs are broadcast over the surface, they should be rolled to insure good soil contact. Freshly sprigged zoysiagrass must be kept moist for several weeks after planting. And, special attention should be given to weed control since zoysigrass is much less aggressive than bermudagrass and some of the common turf weeds.\nA newly planted zoysiagrass turf should be fertilized with a 1-2-1 or similar fertilizer at a rate of 1 pound of nitrogen per 1,000 sq. ft. of area at the time of planting. Monthly applications of nitrogen at \u00b0 to 1 pound per 1,000 sq. ft. will promote the spread of zoysiagrass.\nSprigging is the least expensive method of planting zoysiagrass and usually gives a faster rate of cover than plugging. However, keeping the soil moist during the establishment period is most critical with sprigs. Small plantings of zoysiagrass sprigs can be covered with a clear polyethylene tarp to maintain adequate moisture and increase soil temperature in the early spring. The cover can be left in place for several weeks, or until temperatures get too hot. The plastic cover can increase the rate of spread of zoysiagrass and reduce the time required to obtain a complete cover. The best time for planting zoysiagrass is late spring and early summer.\nZoysiagrasses grow from early spring through late fall when moisture and nutrient requirements are met. Although zoysiagrass is considered to be a drought tolerant species, it ceases growth and begins to discolor during extended dry periods. To maintain growth zoysiagrass requires 1 to 1\u00b0 inches of water per week during mid-summer, although it can survive on less than 1 inch of water per week. Water should be applied 2 to 3 times per week depending on temperatures and soil conditions. Sandy soils require more frequent irrigations than heavier clay soils; and, as temperatures increase, irrigation frequency must increase. During prolonged droughts when it is impractical to water enough to maintain growth, weekly applications of as little as 0.5 inch of water are adequate to keep the grass alive.\nDuring dry winter months, zoysiagrass requires occasional irrigation to prevent desiccation and serious loss of stand even through the grass may be dormant.\nZoysigrass requires a moderate level of nitrogen fertilizer to maintain a dense turf. In lawn situations, 2 or 3 applications of nitrogen during the growing season will maintain turf density and color. Each application should provide about 1 pound of nitrogen per 1,000 sq. ft. of area. Applications should be made in late spring, early summer, and fall. In areas where zoysiagrass remains green year around, frequent applications of soluble nitrogen fertilizers will help maintain a green color during the cool season (usually pound of soluble nitrogen per 1,000 sq. ft. per month from October through March will suffice). Where zoysiagrass goes dormant during the winter, discontinue fertilization until spring.\nClose, frequent mowing produces the finest zoysiagrass turf. But, most people compromise some quality for less frequent mowing. On golf courses and athletic fields, zoysiagrass should be mowed at a \u00b0 to 1 inch height every 3 to 5 days. On lawns growing in full sun, zoysiagrass may be mowed at a height of 1 to 2 inches every 5 to 7 days. Less frequent mowing at these recommended heights results in scalping and generally poor quality turf.\nIn shaded sites, zoysiagrass should be mowed slightly higher than recommended for lawns in full sun. Mowing frequency should not change for shaded sites even though the mowing height is slightly increased.\nZoysiagrass lawns tend to build up a thatch layer, a layer of undecomposed organic residues just above the soil surface. Proper mowing is essential to prevent the accumulation of thatch in zoysiagrass turf. Frequent mowing at recommended heights and clipping removal help prevent thatch accumulation. Avoiding excessive applications of nitrogen fertilizer also helps prevent thatch accumulation.\nOccasionally, thatch removal by mechanical means is required to prevent serious deterioration of zoysiagrass turf. Vertical mowers or flail mowers may be used to remove excess thatch from zoysiagrass turf. Thatch removal should be done well before fall to allow ample time for regrowth. Scalping the lawn in early spring to remove accumulated growth will also help prevent thatch accumulation.\nZoysiagrasses are relatively free of serious pest problems. Brownpatch, rust and leaf spot diseases can cause problems in zoysiagrass turf, but the grass usually recovers when environmental conditions change. In intensively maintained lawns, fungicides may be needed to prevent these diseases. In the fall, applications of Banner, Daconil or Bayleton are required to prevent rust on zoysia lawns.\nWhite grubs are the major insect attacking zoysiagrass turf. Monitoring the soil underlying the turf during summer and fall is the most effective way of preventing a grub problem. When populations of grubs exceed 4 to 5 per square foot of turf, treatment with insecticides is recommended.",

        "raw_content": "June 20, 2017 Parker Davis Airports\nTerminal D at DFW Airport (Photo: DFW Airport)\nIn the second part of the series, we will be discussing Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) and why one writer believes it is the best airport in Texas. Be sure to check out the first part of our series discussing George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH).\nIn 1927, the city of Dallas offered the city of Fort Worth the opportunity to build an airport halfway between the two cities that could be operated together. Fort Worth declined. So the two cities continued down their separate paths, Dallas continuing to promote Love Field and Fort Worth doing the same with Meacham Field.\nProposals continued to fall through, and World War II put a halt to any discussions. The cities continued to stonewall each other, but a 1964 order from the federal government forced the two to work together to find a site for a new airport. Construction officially began for the new airport in 1969.\nThough the original design called for 13 terminals, only four were built by the airport\u2019s dedication in 1973, which was capped off by the landing of a Concorde aircraft on its way from Caracas, Venezuela to Paris. On January 13, 1974, Dallas/Fort Worth Regional Airport opened for commercial service, almost immediately becoming a hub for the large Braniff International Airways.\nFor the next decade, the airport continued to grow as American Airlines turned the airport into a hub of their own, operating both transatlantic and transpacific flights by the end of the 1980s. In 1985, however, the airport received a name change, earning its title of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport.\nSince then, the airport has seen airlines go out of business, Delta establish a hub then pull back out, and the many other upturns and downturns of the last three decades in the airline industry. The airport has undergone numerous expansion projects to reach its current total of seven runways and five terminals. Today, DFW holds the rank of third busiest airport in the U.S. and 11th in the world.\nThe Good and the Bad at DFW\nSoon after its construction, DFW gained a key advantage over Dallas Love Field. Love Field and any airline based there was to be limited in possible destinations by the Wright Amendment, while each airline that moved to DFW would be free to operate pending they could gain a slot and all the other necessities.\nThe airport, consequentially, saw booming growth and a route network that would expand to cover five continents and dozens of countries. Now, passengers have the chance to fly directly to 226 destinations on board nearly 30 airlines.\nAdditionally, DFW provides a middle ground for both airlines and passengers. The airport was built to provide a hub that passengers traveling to and from both Dallas and Fort Worth could enjoy equally. As a result, airlines no longer have to operate flights to two different airports to tap into two customer bases.\nThe airport, however, has not come without its fair share of controversy. As the airport began to plan its expansion, the resulting environmental impact study led three cities to sue the airport to stop the attempted growth. The multi-year debacle culminated with a U.S. Supreme Court decision in favor of the airport that allowed for the construction of the sixth and seventh runways.\nIn the last few years, DFW Airport CEO Sean Donohue has discussed the construction of a new terminal, likely to be called Terminal F. This new terminal would sit just south of Terminal D where the SkyLink currently takes a detour in order to accommodate the theoretical building.\nSuch a terminal would likely allow either for American to vacate other gates it currently occupies at the airport or for other airlines to take over the gates as American continues to hold the entirety of three terminals as well as portions of two others.\nDonohue also said the airport intends to serve 70 million passengers annually by 2020, allowing DFW to firmly cement its place as the biggest, and maybe the best, in Texas.\nA Transcon Comparison: Flights Across North America\nJune 2, 2017 Parker Davis\nEasyJet Boss Optimistic for Future Growth\nApril 1, 2018 Andy Nelson",

This, it seems to me, is a rather na\u00efve perspective on the situation; as far as I can see, Windows Media is a popular format for content producers because 90% of content consumers already have Media Player installed on their systems\u2014and why is that the case? Well, because they\u2019re running Windows. Yes, Media Player may be available on Mac OS X, Solaris and other platforms, but, oddly enough, sites targetting primarily Mac users tend to pick QuickTime rather than Media Player, and sites targetting UNIX users generally plump for MPEG or Real Media.\nThe EU ruling is, of course, far too late, and the fine is far too small. In any event, Microsoft will appeal it and attempt to defer paying any fine until the last possible moment\u2014it doesn\u2019t matter to them that this is a dishonorable course of action, because Microsoft, like many large corporations, are more interested in the bottom line than in doing the right thing. They know that they are guilty, that they are attempting to dominate a variety of markets by integrating the required software into Windows or by bundling it with Windows, leveraging the popularity of Windows and the na\u00efvit\u00e9 of their users to ensure that competing products\u2019 markets are destroyed. But they don\u2019t care.\nIf there were one question that I could ask Bill Gates, it would be \u201cHow much money is enough?\u201d I wonder whether Bill and his company have ever stopped to consider the answer to that one.\n\u00ab Abuse of Prisoners in Iraq Violated \u00bb",

        "raw_content": "Natural, Alternative Remedies for Snoring and Sleep Apnea\nResearchers say that about 24 out of every 100 adult women and 40 out of every 100 adult males snore regularly. Snoring is common and often not any need for concern, but sometimes, it can be a sign that there is a serious health problem that needs to be addressed, known as sleep apnea.\nHealth aspects aside, snoring can negatively affect relationships. Being kept awake half the night or more by a partner\u2019s snoring is not conducive to good mood. Like many other \u2018conditions\u2019, snoring has an inherited link or component. If your parents and grandparents snore, you will be genetically predisposed to follow.\nHowever, this can exacerbated or mitigated by lifestyle behaviors and even environment. A few of the factors which often worsen snoring, in both incidence and intensity, include:\nBeing over-tired, often due to stress\nWorking in a dusty environment\nThe National Sleep Foundation in the United States says this disorder interferes with normal breathing, and can halt the flow of oxygen into the body for as many as 10 or more seconds. This can lead to low blood oxygen levels which negatively affect your health in a number of ways, not to mention poor sleep.\nThe combination of fragmented sleep and not enough oxygen in your blood means sleep apnea can eventually lead to health problems of the brain, as well as heart attacks, stroke and heart disease.\nThe typical prescription for sleep apnea is the use of a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure machine, or CPAP device. When the sleep apnea sufferer goes to bed, they are connected to a CPAP machine, which continually and regularly pushes air into the sleep apnea patient, via an attached face mask. This keeps the airway open, instead of allowing it to be closed off as occurs with sleep apnea.\nNaturally Preventing Snoring and Sleep Apnea\nThe simplest natural answer to sleep apnea is to reach and maintain a healthy body weight. There is a measurable correlation between overweight and sleep apnea. Improving your weight can cure the condition entirely.\nIf you smoke, kicking the habit can eliminate the problem. Reducing alcohol consumption will also be a positive move.\nEssential Oil and Herbal Answers for Snoring\nFenugreek is an herb which improves digestive health, and has been effective for treating sleep apnea. Extremely powerful in very small quantities, essential oils can be combined with water and diffused into the air for a number of health benefits.\nGoldenseal and peppermint oil offer effective relief for chest and nasal congestion, which can lead to bouts of snoring. Spearmint is another herb which has been used to remedy snoring for hundreds of years. Breathing peppermint and eucalyptus oils is a good way to clean up your sinuses, and sometimes clogged sinuses are what is causing your snoring.\nIn people that snore regularly, a deficiency in vitamin C is often found. Eat citrus fruits to improve the amount of vitamin C you ingest, or take a daily supplement.\nNatural Remedies For Cuts and Scrapes Alternative Medicine For Sleep Disorders Home and Alternative Remedies For Back Pain How Natural Remedies Can Help You\nFiled Under: Natural Remedies Tagged With: sleep, sleep apnea",

        "raw_content": "Full text of Chinese president\u2019s speech at plenary session of BRICS Johannesburg Summit\nChinese President Xi Jinping delivered on Thursday a speech titled \u201cTurn Our Vision into a Reality\u201d at the Plenary Session of the BRICS Johannesburg Summit.\nTurn Our Vision into a Reality\nAt the Plenary Session of the BRICS Johannesburg Summit\nYour Excellency President Cyril Ramaphosa,\nYour Excellency President Michel Temer,\nYour Excellency President Vladimir Putin,\nYour Excellency Prime Minister Narendra Modi,\nLet me begin by thanking President Ramaphosa and the South African government for their warm hospitality and thoughtful arrangements. The BRICS Summit is convened in Africa again after a lapse of five years. This is an occasion to celebrate.\nThe theme of this summit \u2013 \u201cBRICS in Africa: Collaborating for Inclusive Growth and Shared Prosperity in the 4th Industrial Revolution\u201d \u2013 is most fitting under the current circumstances. The previous three industrial revolutions were all characterized by transformative advancement in science and technology: the rise of mechanization in the 18th century, the harnessing of electricity in the 19th century, and the advent of the Information Age in the 20th century. Such breakthroughs have greatly unleashed social productivity and significantly improved people\u2019s living standards, thus profoundly reshaping the course of human history.\nToday, we are experiencing another revolution in science, technology and industry, which is greater in scope and depth. Breakthroughs are being made in quick succession in frontier technologies like big data and artificial intelligence. New technologies, business models and industries are emerging one after another. Countries around the world have found their interests and future tied together like never before.\nThat said, we have yet to sustain global growth with new driving forces and to address the North-South imbalance and other deep-seated structural problems. What\u2019s more, constant flare-ups of geopolitical conflicts and the escalation of protectionism and unilateralism are directly affecting the external development environment of emerging markets and developing countries.\nHistory keeps surging forward independent of people\u2019s wish. We the BRICS countries must therefore have a keen grasp of the trend of our times, deepen our strategic partnership, and consolidate our cooperation framework underpinned by economic, political and security cooperation and people-to-people exchanges. This way, we will be able to turn our vision of a second \u201cGolden Decade\u201d into a reality, and together build a community with a shared future for mankind.\nFirst, we must unlock the enormous potential of our economic cooperation. Closer economic cooperation for shared prosperity is the original purpose and priority of BRICS cooperation. It is also in the economic field that we enjoy the most promising, diverse and fruitful cooperation. We need to step up trade, investment, economic, financial, and connectivity cooperation to make this pie still bigger. At the same time, we must work together at the United Nations, the Group of 20, and the World Trade Organization to safeguard the rule-based multilateral trading regime, promote trade and investment liberalization and facilitation, and reject protectionism outright.\nIt is important that we continue to pursue innovation-driven development and build a Partnership on New Industrial Revolution to strengthen coordination on macroeconomic policies, find more complementarities in our development strategies, and reinforce each other\u2019s efforts in renewing economic driving forces and upgrading economic structure. In this context, China will host ten human resources development programs during which experts of our five countries will be invited to draw up a blueprint for our cooperation in the new industrial revolution. By so doing, we hope to enhance the competitiveness of not only BRICS countries but also other emerging markets and developing countries.\nSecond, we must safeguard global peace and security. Political and security cooperation is an important component of BRICS strategic partnership. We should stay committed to multilateralism and to the purposes and principles of the UN Charter. We should call on all parties to abide by international law and basic norms governing international relations and to settle disputes through dialogue and differences through consultation. By fully leveraging the role of BRICS meetings of foreign ministers, national security advisers and permanent representatives to the United Nations, we can make our voice heard, put forth our solutions, and jointly work for a new type of international relations featuring mutual respect, equality, justice and win-win cooperation.\nThird, we must expand people-to-people exchanges. We the BRICS countries boast great civilizations. When it comes to cultural and people-to-people exchanges, there is a lot we can do together. As a matter of fact, such exchanges have notably gained momentum over the last year or two. We should aim at greater people-to-people connectivity and more popular support for BRICS cooperation through extensive exchanges in cultural, educational, health, sports, tourism and other areas. China would therefore like to suggest joint touring exhibitions by the BRICS alliances of museums, art museums, national galleries, and libraries and closer cooperation in the cultural, creative and tourism industries and at the sub-national level. This way, we can spread the BRICS story far and wide to further enhance the mutual understanding and traditional friendship among our people.\nFourth, we must build a network of closer partnerships. Since the inception of the BRICS mechanism, openness and inclusiveness have remained our abiding commitment. The \u201cBRICS Plus\u201d approach we adopted at the Xiamen Summit is designed to strengthen the unity and coordination among BRICS members for greater cohesion and, at the same time, to keep broadening the BRICS \u201ccircle of friends\u201d in a joint pursuit of shared development and prosperity for all emerging markets and developing countries. We may explore \u201cBRICS Plus\u201d cooperation within the United Nations, the G20, and other frameworks to advance the common interests and boost the development space for emerging markets and developing countries, thus contributing more to world peace and development through broader partnerships.\nThe future of BRICS is in the hands of our people. Let us work together with the rest of the international community for an open, inclusive, clean and beautiful world that enjoys lasting peace, universal security and common prosperity.\nMillennials in Cuba connect the past, present and future \u00bb",

        "raw_content": "At American Life, Incorporated, our investors are involved in some exciting construction projects, adding jobs to the US employment market and building impressive new projects that bring hotels, retail, and other facilities into important markets. Construction has always been a human resource-focused industry, but new technologies are augmenting the construction process, adding exceptional benefits to create a smoother development process. Companies are using augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and 3D imaging to bring the following benefits:\nDesign analysis. New technologies like AR and VR allow architects and designers to walk through the project before it\u2019s even constructed, finding and correcting flaws before workers are on the site. Instead of guessing, designers can add or delete elements that they weren\u2019t sure about when the project was on paper to increase the functionality of building.\nSavings. Every feature of a new building will cost money to construct. If its not an efficient feature, the builder wastes money that could be put into more important features. Companies can easily view and adjust features of their buildings to the smallest detail, saving time and money on multiple architectural plan revisions.\nAccuracy. New technologies allow developers to view all aspects of the building plan to obtain exact specifications for each element. This level of detail provides extraordinary accuracy in the project development.\nEfficiency. That level of detail also makes project management easier, with fewer elements left unclear and a better big-picture view for planners. Project management is more efficient through these new technologies.\nSafety. Risk analysis is a crucial factor in the construction industry. New technologies allow risk professionals to assess the job site before the crew arrives, identifying and mitigating hazards that cause injuries or increase insurance costs.\nAR, VR, and 3D imaging are exciting technologies that don\u2019t replace human resources, but instead improve efficiency and mitigate risks to help people do the best job possible. This makes commercial development projects even more profitable for its investors.\nWith a positive outlook for 2019, now is a great time to invest in development. Contact us at American Life, Incorporated today to talk about the best opportunities for your portfolio.

        "raw_content": "A Shrewd and Masculine Mind \u2013 No. 10 St. James Square (Part Two)\nShe was an Irish nobody, an outrage to the haute ton. She had married a man who died during a drunken orgy when he fell out of a window at King\u2019s Bench prison. She had lived under the \u201cprotection\u201d of another who received 10,000 pounds reimbursement for her upkeep. She had snatched up a titled, rich husband. Now she had come to make her mark upon society, not even troubling to hide her desire of becoming a posh London hostess.\nEntrance Hall \u2013 No. 10 St. James Square\nHer choice of house to accomplish this ambition was a scandal in and of itself. No. 10 St. James Square had been the scene of grave deliberations by Prime Ministers. Its walls had witnessed the re-drawing of Europe\u2019s maps. Now it was to house an empty-headed beauty and entertain a pack of frippery gentlemen.\nWhen Lady Blessington stepped into its entrance hall, pausing to take in the \u201ccarved moulded architrave and rich pulvinated frieze and cornice,\u201d did the house tremble in disgust?\nNo, indeed. No. 10 was in alt.\nIt was Autumn of 1818 when Marguerite Gardiner, nee Power, took up residence in St. James Square. Her husband, the Earl of Blessington, was seven years older than she, with children from a former marriage who conveniently remained behind in Ireland on their father\u2019s estate, Mountjoy Forest. Like Lady Holland, Marguerite was shunned by female callers. But she had known adversity before and this snub in no way depressed one such as she. Her husband knew all the great men of society and was pleased to introduce her to them. Soon No. 10 was receiving those frippery gentlemen, the very ones other hostesses would give their eyeteeth to entertain.\nIt seemed that Holland House and yes, even that grande dame of Regency salons, Lansdowne House, would be destined to look to their laurels. Fellow Irishman and noted diarist, the abolitionist Dr. Richard Robert Madden, made special note of the salon at No. 10:\nTwo Royal English dukes condescended not unfrequently to do homage at the new shrine of Irish beauty and intellect\u2026.Whig and Tory politicians and lawyers, forgetful of their party feuds and professional rivalries for the nonce, came there as gentle pilgrims.\nDr. Samuel Parr, noted Whig political writer and stern schoolmaster, also came under Lady Blessington\u2019s spell, calling her \u201cmost gorgeous.\u201d He was the first to divine the intelligence behind the beauty, rightly predicting an unlikely development that would occur long after his death:\nWith her shrewd and masculine mind, she would be even more impressive in middle age than while in the lovely splendor of her youth.\nLady Blessington would need that shrewd and masculine mind developed in the company of the Regency\u2019s brilliant and distinguished. It turned out that No. 10 served to be an incubator of developing intellect that would take the place of fading beauty. After her husband died and No. 10 passed to another, Marguerite had to find a way to sustain herself, turning to writing. Her works include Conversations with Lord Byron, Idler in Italy and Idler in France. They were popular works that gave her the income she needed until she died in Paris in 1849, far from No. 10 St. James Square.\nThis entry was posted in Regency, Uncategorized and tagged Conversations with Lord Byron, Dr. Robert Richard Madden, Dr. Samuel Parr, Holland House, Lady Blessington, Lansdowne House, Marguerite Gardiner, Mountjoy Forest, No. 10 St. James Square by Angelyn.

He even changed his religion from Catholic to Church of England. Despite all, he was not liked. The English disliked him for his obsequiousness and the Irish fir being a turn coat. His fields were burned. Margaret feared his voice and his hand. She was sold in marriage at age 14 to Farmer , an army man who had a reputation for violence when crossed. When he was ordered overseas she refused to go. Some biographies say she went home, but I doubt it. Instead she went with Jenkins , another army man who was kind , educated her ,and refined her manners. It was in his house she met the man who was to be made Earl of Blessington. Blessington was married at the time but his wife soon died. He had an elaborate funeral for her. He had both legitimate and illegitimate children. He was interested in private theatricals,\nAfter his wife died. he came to an arrangement where he paid Margaret\u2019s protector \u00a310,000 for his expenses and took Margaret into his protection. To everyone\u2019s shock and surprise, as soon as her husband died , Blessington married Margaret.\nLife as a countess was not all roses and Margaret was forever an object of censure. Blessington took Margaret abroad with Dorsay and later married Dorsay off to his legitimate daughter. The daughter despised him and after Blessington\u2019s death managed to get free of the marriage. D\u2019orsay was left most of the money. margaret\u2019s jointure was based on estates in Ireland that failed during the potato famine. She sold everything and wrote more to pay the bills then went to paris where she died. A controversial person much disliked by the Haut ton.\nShe was blamed because Blessington had his daughter marry D\u2019Orsay. One would thnk that her own experience would have made her sympathetic to the child. WE don\u2019t k now if she feared her husband, knew it wouldn\u2019t do to protest, or just felt that if she had survived worse that the girl should be grateful.\nI get the impression of a cold woman though she was said to have been remarkably beautiful.\nI\u2019m glad you filled in the details I left out, Nancy, and some I didn\u2019t know. There was a good deal of speculation that Lady Blessington was cuckolding the earl with d\u2019Orsay.\nThanks, Angelyn and Nancy, for this fabulous account.\nYou\u2019re welcome, Cheryl. I\u2019m glad you could stop by!\nOf course an intelligent woman had a \u201cmasculine\u201d mind. She was quite beautiful if that painting is any indication.\nPerceptive comment. There\u2019s no other way to convey how things really used to be.\nShe was indeed beautiful. I think we must all remember how difficult it must have been for her, even with her mind and her beauty.She didn\u2019t appear to have much control over her life.\nElla\u2019s got the right of it. You have to admire Lady Blessington\u2019s struggles. A heroine in all her unvarnished beauty.",

        "title": "Brexit: winners and losers",
        "raw_content": "All big decisions result in myriad consequences. Some of them positive and some of them negative. Only the most hopelessly naive of Brexit supporters could possibly believe that a vote to leave the EU is going to result in only positive outcomes for all as Britain turns immediately into the land of milk and honey for all and the Tory government suddenly begin fixing the NHS that they've spent the last six years vandalising, caring about the steel industry and clamping down on tax-dodging.\nEveryone bar the insanely optimistic or pessimistic is capable of recognising that the result of Brexit won't be unrelentingly positive, or unrelentingly negative, but that some sectors of society will benefit enormously, some will will suffer dire consequences, and others will land somewhere in the middle.\nIn this article I'm going to look at how Brexit might work out for various individuals, organisations and sectors of society.\nTory Brexiters like Michael Gove, Boris Johnson, Chris Grayling, Priti Patel, John Redwood and Iain Duncan Smith would clearly benefit enormously from Brexit. If the UK public vote to Remain quite a few of them can kiss goodbye to their political careers. Why on earth would any future Tory party leader allow desperate backstabbers like Iain Duncan Smith (who conducted one of the most appallingly insincere staged resignations in history) Boris Johnson (who outright accused David Cameron of extreme corruption) and Michael Gove (who even set about comparing pro-remain economists to Nazi scientists)?\nShould Brexit win the day these people will clearly all be vying for position at the top table, eager to collect the spoils as they set about carving up pretty much the entire UK legal system for the benefit of their wealthy donors, drawing up pro-corporate trade deals that make TTIP look like a walk in the park, gleefully imposing even more of their socially and economically destructive austerity dogma and restructuring the UK in line with their fanatically right-wing zealotry.\nWealthy landowners\nLandowners get huge subsidies from the EU. These subsidies used to be paid in line with what farmers actually produced, but these days wealthy landowners get huge handouts whether they produce anything or not. Boris Johnson has made it absolutely clear that the Tories wouldn't just replicate EU landowner subsidies, they're actually going to consider increasing the level of handouts to the people in Britain who are lucky enough to own large tracts of land. The idea that the Tories would actually cut these lavish handouts at this time of so-called austerity is not even worth contemplating. Farmers and wealthy landowners are just about the most loyal Tory demographic of all.\nIf the UK quits the EU it's likely to cause a massive economic storm within the Eurozone, but after the dust settles there could be some strong benefits for the EU. One obvious one is that the European parliament will be cleared out of lazy grandstanding UKIP politicians and hard-right Tories. Another is that the EU can get on with promoting progressive legislation without being fought tooth and nail every step of the way by the Tories.\nRemember how the Tories tried to scupper the European Working Time Directive in the 1990s? Remember how George Osborne was the only finance minister in the whole of Europe to oppose legislation to prevent bankers paying themselves more than 200% of their salary in bonuses? Remember how the Tories shot down the EU plan to stop the European steel market getting crushed under an enormous landslide of artificially cheap Chinese steel?\nThe EU certainly isn't going to turn into a bed of roses overnight, but without the malign influence of the Tory party they might just be able to achieve some more positive changes.\nAnother way in which Europe is likely to benefit from Brexit is a shift of businesses from the UK to countries that remain in the single market. The idea that this wouldn't happen is fantasy land stuff. Countless major businesses have clearly stated that access to the single market is one of the big attractions of doing business in the UK. It wouldn't be surprising to see various financial sector institutions shifting their headquarters to places within the single market (like Frankfurt for example), and manufacturers relocating their production facilities to keep themselves in the single market.\nThe extreme-right\nJust imagine the gloating from extreme-right hatemongering groups like Britain First if they get their way and Britain pulls up the drawbridge on the rest of Europe. They'd no doubt see it as a remarkable victory and a vindication of their petty. xenophobic fearmongering tactics.\n\"Banksters\"\nIt's interesting to see that the vast bulk of the financial sector have come out strongly against Brexit, because one of the first things the Tory government would be likely to do is reverse the EU 200% cap on bankers' bonuses that they opposed so vehemently. It looks like a lot of these \"banksters\" are going against their own personal self-interest to back Remain, which seems more than a bit weird.\nOne of the main reasons that so many financial institutions are so strongly in favour of Remain is that all of the financial projections paint a pretty ugly picture if the British public vote for Brexit. When asked to name a single study that showed that Britain would be better off after Brexit, or even just the same, the \"Lexit\" Labour MP Kate Hoey floundered embarrassingly. A post Brexit economic meltdown isn't a certainty, but if the economic projections are so unanimously negative that they have bankers arguing against their own personal financial interests, they must be pretty damned bleak.\nOf course some financial sector players would benefit enormously from Brexit. Any financial sector institution worth their salt will have hedged their investments so that their post-Brexit losses are mitigated, but the financial sector players who have actually gambled on Brexit could make an absolute killing.\nAnother way that financial sector players could make a post-Brexit killing is through hoovering up companies that get into financial difficulties and asset stripping them, just like RBS did after the 2007-08 financial sector insolvency crisis.\nNon-exporting businesses\nThere are an awful lot of businesses in the UK that don't export goods to the single market, so they could conceivably benefit if the Tories set about tearing down the regulatory standards set by the EU for selling produce in the single market. Whether this lowering of standards would be enough to fully compensate these businesses for the losses incurred during the widely predicted post-Brexit economic slump is another matter.\nThings could go two different ways for Nigel Farage. He could be welcomed into back into the Tory party along with his UKIP brethren by the grateful right-wing fringe of the Tory party, possibly with a seat in the unelected House of Lords as a reward for all of his campaigning against the ... erm ... undemocratic EU.\nEither that or he could be left out in the cold to see his power and influence gradually fading away without a parliamentary seat and without his anti-EU hobby horse to ride.\nWe all know what the immediate reaction to Brexit would be from the mainstream press and the Labour Party Blairites: Blame Jeremy Corbyn.\nThe press would hammer him for not having fought a savage and vindictive tooth and nail battle to keep the UK in the European Union. The Blairites will decry his tactic of trying to talk about the issues calmly, honestly and realistically, rather than joining in with Cameron and Osborne's blatant fearmongering.\nBut despite this negative reaction from the press and the right-wing faction of the Labour Party, a lot of people will remember that Jeremy Corbyn was actually one of the minority of politicians who tried to conduct himself properly in the debate. Whether that's a politically naive stance to take or not, you have to salute his integrity for at least trying to talk about things honestly.\nThe disabled and the working poor\nBoth factions of the Tory party have promised even more ideological austerity after Brexit. George Osborne has sworn to enact a \"punishment budget\" in retaliation if the public vote to quit the EU, and Iain Duncan Smith has said that years more austerity would be \"a price worth paying\" for Brexit (which is easy for wealthy Tory MPs who were handed their plush country estates by their in-laws to say, because they're not the ones who pay the price of austerity).\nThe people who pay the price of Tory austerity are people like the working poor, who get their wages repressed and their Tax Credits slashed, and the disabled who see their benefits slashed in order to fund a bunch of lavish tax breaks for corporations and the super rich.\nDavid Cameron will always be remembered as the Prime Minister who recklessly gambled the future of the UK economy in order to gain a bit of short-term political advantage at the 2015 general Election, and lost.\nUniversity students from England\nThe way that the European Union works is that if a citizen of a member state is entitled to something, then any other citizen from within the EU is entitled to it too. This has meant that large numbers of university students from England have been able to avoid the Tory \"aspiration tax\" on university students from poor and ordinary backgrounds by choosing to study at universities elsewhere in the EU, where tuition fees are very much cheaper (a few hundred Euros per year) or where they don't exist at all.\nThis route into affordable higher education for students from poor and ordinary backgrounds would be cut off completely if the UK bails out of the EU.\nWhat to do about the 2 million or so British expats living elsewhere in the EU will be an important negotiating point in the renegotiation settlement with the EU. Should the UK government try to begin slinging EU citizens out of the UK, or denying them access to stuff like the health service or the social security system, tit-for-tat reactions from other EU states would be inevitable.\nEven if these tit-for-tat measures don't materialise, an awful lot of British expats would suffer years of worry and insecurity due to the uncertainty over their status in their adoptive countries as the UK renegotiates its relationship with the EU.\nLexiters\nAs the UK dips into the widely predicted post-Brexit economic crisis, and the Tories set about dragging the UK even further to the right and penalising the disabled and the working poor with more ideological austerity, an awful lot of people on the left will begin asking how on earth some left-wing people actually voted for all that to come about.\nLofty left-wing ideological objections to the structure of the EU are fine, but if they inspire you to take action that results in the empowerment of the most hard-right government in living memory to stamp down even harder on the throats of the most vulnerable in society, you've got to ask if that's a price worth paying, or whether it might have been better to wait for a more opportune moment to express your discontent at the EU.\nLabels: Austerity, Britain First, David Cameron, EU, EU referendum, immigration, Jeremy Corbyn, Lexit, Nigel Farage, Tories, UKIP",

        "raw_content": "SilverStone Strider Gold S ST85F-GS 850W (Page 1 of 4) | Reports\nIf there is one topic that has always fascinated me outside of what I normally study, it will have to be time travel. And while the whole concept of time travel is purely theoretical (At least we can say, \"What do we want? Time travel! When do we want it? It does not matter!\"), it does stem from a lot of well proven concepts such as quantum mechanics, and other conjectures that are purely hypothetical, such as the multi world interpretation. Now, to someone who does not spend five hours a day on Wikipedia reading up on information that will only be useful in a knowledge faceoff against your friends, or write an introduction to a review here at APH Networks, Erwin Schr\u00f6dinger proposed a thought experiment in 1935 to interpret quantum mechanics in terms of everyday objects. Basically, Schr\u00f6dinger's cat describes a scenario where, inside a sealed box, the cat inside can be both alive and dead at the same time, as its state is linked to events that happened prior. This concept is often applied to the multiverse hypothesis, where every event is a branch point. In this configuration, the cat can be both alive and dead even after the box is opened. This is made possible by interpreting them in different branches of the universe, where are both equally real, but also fully independent of each other. Unfortunately, in the world we live in, no matter how hard you try, the cat is going to be either alive or dead, not alive and dead at the same time. You really cannot get the fact of both universes. In the technology world, things might be a bit different. Can you make a power supply that is rated for a high wattage, fully modular, and compact at the same time? If Erwin Schr\u00f6dinger was alive today, we might call that Schr\u00f6dinger's Strider Gold S ST85F-GS 850W. But since he is not, we will call it the SilverStone Strider Gold S ST85F-GS 850W. Read on to find out what is inside this sealed box!\nOur review unit of the SilverStone Strider Gold S ST85F-GS 850W came in a large, brown corrugated cardboard box from SilverStone's American headquarters in Chino, California, USA. In case you were wondering, it actually did not tag along with the SilverStone Precision PS10 computer case my colleague Aaron Lai reviewed last week. Instead, it shared the trip with SilverStone's EB01-E and EB03 external DAC and headphone amp, respectively; where the former has first appeared briefly in my Kanto YU2 review a couple of weeks ago. Using FedEx International Ground, everything arrived in excellent condition for our review today here in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. We would like to give some credits to the army of packing peanuts inside, too.\nIt seems to me SilverStone does not have a whole lot of family resemblance with regards to product package design in their power supply range, and the Strider Gold S is no different. This time, the box comes in a predominantly black background. To show off its 80 Plus Gold certification, a large stylized \"S\" is integrated onto the background in various shades of brown and yellow to give it a golden look. At the top, we can see SilverStone's logo and slogan, while the lines \"Strider Gold S Series\" and \"World's smallest, full modular ATX power supplies\" occupies a prominent region in the center. A photo of the power supply can be seen adjacent to the list of feature highlights. On the right, a large 80 Plus Gold badge ensures you know this is an 80 Plus Gold certified power supply, just in case you could not tell by the name already. At the bottom, its wattage capacity is written in super large font, along with the model number next to it. The Strider Gold S is also available in 750W and a whopping 1500W variant as well, except the latter is not 150mm long like the ST85F-GS we are reviewing today. Specifications, performance graphs, and features can be found on remaining sides of the box.\nBefore we move on, let's take a look at the specifications of the SilverStone Strider Gold S ST85F-GS 850W, as obtained from the manufacturer's website:\nProtection: Over current protection, Over power protection, Over voltage protection, Over Temperature Protection, Under voltage protection, Short circuit protection\nThe SilverStone Strider Gold S ST85F-GS 850W's retail packaging can be opened by a flap attached on the right. Upon opening the box, you will find everything neatly organized. The power supply is located on the left, cables on the right, and everything else in a resealable plastic bag. There is also an instruction manual as well as a specifications booklet out in the open. The instruction manual is highlighted with the letters \"PY\" in front, just like the SilverStone Strider Essential Gold ST70F-ESG 700W; as if my colleague Preston Yuen has initialed yet another one from the factory. (It is really a stylized presentation of the words \"power supply\", maximizing its first and last letters.) Out of the box, you will receive the ST85F-GS power supply itself, two pieces of literature as aforementioned, modular cables, AC power cable, and a bag that contains some zip ties, Velcro straps, and four thumbscrews.",

        "title": "Is Apple Selling Too Many Products? - Apple Gazette",
        "raw_content": "You are here: Home / Opinion / Is Apple Selling Too Many Products?\nIs Apple Selling Too Many Products?\nWhen Steve Jobs returned to Apple in 1997, he found the once-proud tech giant in complete disarray. Over the previous decade, profits had plummeted to the point that the company was operating in the red, and many insiders felt that it had just weeks \u2013 perhaps even days \u2013 to live. But Jobs had a plan to turn Apple around, and it included slashing the product line down to a few core items, and focusing on making those items \u201cinsanely great.\u201d\nThat intense focus directly contributed to Apple\u2019s comeback, which resulted in the success we see from the company today. But it seems that Apple could be losing some of that focus once again, as the company continue to expand their product line in ways that may be confusing for consumers.\nA Focus on Fewer, Better Products\nWhen Jobs took the reins as interim CEO in July of 1997, Apple was making more than 350 different products, many of which seemed redundant, expensive, and outdated. In order to get the company focused on making better products that made more sense to consumers, he cut that number down to just 10. He knew that in order for the company that he co-founded to survive, it needed to be leaner and more focused, than it had been under previous CEO Gil Amelio.\nAt the core of the new line-up were four products, a consumer laptop and desktop, as well as a laptop and desktop designed for professionals. Each of those computers had various configurations of course, but as far as Apple was concerned, the product line remained extremely streamlined and simple. This allowed the company to focus on new technology and design, which resulted in the first iMac, a computer that made waves due to its unique looks, and shift away from traditional IO ports in favor of USB \u2013 something that was radical at the time.\nEventually new product categories were introduced to the line-up, as the iPod, iPhone, and iPad were added to the mix. Each of those items would go on to define their particular category with the general public, selling hundreds of millions of units in the process. Apple didn\u2019t invent the mp3 player, smartphone, or tablet, but it made them consumer friendly, and managed to market the devices incredibly well.\nSo Many iPads\nWhile no one in their right mind would ever argue that Apple is anywhere near the state it was in 17 years ago, it does seem that it could be losing some of the focus that helped it become the most valuable tech company in the world.\nOn the surface, Apple still makes great computers, smartphones, tablets, and music players. But, as it attempts to broaden its appeal with consumers, the company is also expanding its product line away from the philosophy of giving customers a few simple choices, toward one that could become needlessly complicated and confusing.\nOne only needs to look at the new iPad line-up that was unveiled last week to understand what I mean. In a special event held in Cupertino, the company introduced the new iPad Air 2 and the iPad Mini 3, each of which adds new features over their predecessor. But in a departure from previous years, Apple has decided to continue offering previous generations of their tablets, albeit at a slightly reduced price.\nSo consumers now must select between last year\u2019s iPad Air or the new Air 2, as well as all three versions of the iPad Mini, including the original model, which is two years old at this point, and lacks a Retina display. To make matters worse, the only real difference between the iPad Mini 2 and 3, is the price, and the inclusion of the Touch ID fingerprint scanner.\nThat\u2019s five iPad models alone to choose from, with a wide degree of difference in performance and features. There was a time when you simply bought an iPad, and the only real option to consider was how much storage capacity you needed for apps, photos, videos, books, and so on.\nToday, consumers have to consider a wide variety of variables when deciding exactly which model to buy, including screen size, processor speed, whether or not they want Touch ID, and the need for cellular service.\nThe iPhone line-up has continued to expand as well, with more models now than ever. Last month, Apple introduced the iPhone 6 and 6+, giving consumers a choice in screen size for the first time ever.\nThe company also made the choice of continuing to sell last year\u2019s iPhone 5S and 5C, the latter of which is actually powered by 2 year old technology at this point. Obviously the tech giant is hoping to offer an iPhone for every budget, but in the process it is making it more challenging for customers to understand which device best fits their needs.\nMuch like the iPad, there was once a time where you simply picked the storage capacity of your iPhone, and went along your merry way. Now, consumers must also consider screen size, camera specs, processor speeds, and the cellular service provider that they want to use the device with.\nAdditionally, each of the models has its own unique look, which plays into the decision as well, as does the fact that they are all available in at least three different colors.\nThe Apple Watch and Beyond\nNext year, Apple\u2019s product categories will expand once agin when it introduce the first version of the Apple Watch. This will be the company\u2019s first truly new product since the launch of the original iPad in 2010, and it too will come with a host of options to choose from.\nWe already know that there will be at least three models of the smartwatch for consumers to consider, with storage capacity, watchband, and possibly color all playing a part in the decision of which version to buy. Add in the fact that the Apple Watch has the potential to be the most expensive product Apple has ever shipped, and the confusion that it creates amongst consumers could be wild.\nBeyond that, we know that Apple will continue to expand its computer line as well, with rumors continuing to swirl about the addition of the much-anticipated MacBook Air with a Retina display sometime in 2015.\nThe question is, will this be an additional option for consumers to consider when configuring their laptop, or will all models of the Air ship with the new high resolution display? The Retina display is a fantastic option for sure, but it has also added another choice for consumers when purchasing a MacBook Pro, and now the iMac too.\nChoice is Good\nObviously, choice is good for consumers, as it provides us with more options when searching for the best device to fit our needs. But one of Steve Jobs\u2019 core principles for approaching business was to produce just a few products, and make them so good, that the competition simply can\u2019t create anything else like it.\nApple is still making those products, but at this point, it also seems like it is needlessly creating confusion amongst customers because it is trying to appeal to everyone.\nThe mere fact that the first-generaiton iPad Mini remains in the product line is a good example of this. It appears to be there simply so Apple can offer a tablet at the $250 price point, even though the device is under powered, and lacks the Retina display of its successor.\nApple would have been better served dropping the two-year old product altogether, and focusing on creating a better Mini 3, instead of giving us the very underwhelming update that we actually received.\nAs one of the most profitable companies in the world, Apple faces pressure to continue to deliver outstanding financial success year-in, and year-out. That kind of pressure causes companies to chase markets that aren\u2019t necessarily ones that they are well suited for.\nAs Apple continues to add new product categories, and attempts to increase its appeal with more consumers, it runs the risk of allowing overall quality of its devices to suffer. That hasn\u2019t been the case so far, but as resources get stretched thin, and focus shifts to different products, it becomes a genuine concern.\nPersonally, I\u2019d support a return to a more simplified line of gadgets, with just a few of the very best items available to consumers. But something tells me that isn\u2019t going to happen, and the Apple portfolio will only continue to expand.\nFiled Under: Opinion Tagged With: apple, iPad, iPhone, iPod, Steve Jobs\nCosta K says\nPersonally I think Apple should update the iPad every two years. That way they can make a clean break from previous models.\nAlso, since people don\u2019t uograde their iPads as much as their mobile phones this would be a good way to address consumer demand.\nFinally, it\u2019d also create some excitement. People would look forward with eager expectation to what is about to be released.\nKraig Becker says\nI don\u2019t believe you\u2019ll ever see Apple scale back to a two-year production cycle on the iPad, and honestly, that is a long time to go between upgrades. I do with that they would scale back on some of the older models that they are selling however, as they are just adding to consumer confusion over which device to buy.\nPlease prove you're human * + 2 = eight",

        "raw_content": "Genius? \u00bb\nPsychics and the Bible\nI was reading a magazine on a plane when I saw an article in which a Colorado county boasted that it had \u201cnot one, not two, but three psychic and healing centers,\u201d which offer classes for the \u201cspiritually attuned.\u201d According to the article, the classes allow students to examine \u201cchakras, past lives, and aura layers . . . metaphysical spiritual tools . . . and the \u2018child spirits\u2019 interested in the person.\u201d\nUnlike atheists, who would fundamentally disagree with me on practically all points supernatural, the people running these physic centers do believe in the supernatural, they just believe in a non-biblical version. I call it non-biblical, but that doesn\u2019t mean that the Bible doesn\u2019t recognize that these practices exist; indeed, in many places in the Bible people are warned not to practice the mystical, occult arts \u2013 the kind of supernatural practices that don\u2019t always recognize God and that certainly don\u2019t bring you closer to Him.\nThat warning is for good reason. When you realize that the supernatural is a real thing, then you see quite quickly that followers of Jesus practice a completely different version of it than people in psychic centers. Accordingly, you have to decide which version is correct. A psychic\u2019s non-biblical version might have you messing around with spirit guides or inner children, fully believing that they\u2019re good for you. But in the Biblical version, these spirits are likely demons, out to kill and destroy you. Revelation 21:8 warns that the price for those who practice the magic arts is the second death in fire. In the spiritual war, choosing the right side is a must.\nGod warns us throughout the Bible not to do a lot of things for our own good, like a good mother or father would warn their children in the natural world. And because He loves us, he even tells us the penalty for choosing wrong. And He\u2019s pretty specific about the occult.\nDenise\u2019s book, 7 Spiritual Truths and the Lies that Hide Them, begins with the spiritual truth that the supernatural actually exists. Psychics know this, but by practicing the version condemned in the Bible, they\u2019re undoubtedly \u2013 and clearly unwittingly \u2013 choosing the wrong side of the spiritual war.\n0 Responses to \u201cPsychics and the Bible\u201d",

        "raw_content": "The Definition of Impressionism\nPublished March 16, 2012\tArt 1 Comment\nTags: en plein air, factories, Impressionism, Oise River, Pissarro, Pontoise, reflections\nFactory on the Banks of the Oise, Saint-Ouen-l\u2019Aum\u00f4ne\n1873 Williamstown (Mass) Clark Art Institute\nOne warm spring day, Pissarro took his easel to the banks of the Oise River and made a painting that is archetypical of the Impressionist movement. It contains nearly all of the characteristics commonly associated with the Impressionist style: the lavish portrayal of sunlight; the consciousness of the changing weather as grey clouds crowd the intense blue sky; the presence of modernity in the new factories lining the bank of the Oise River; and the immediacy of the scene which bespeaks en plein air painting.\nThe painting itself has a classic composition divided almost equally between the sky and the earth with the river dwindling away on the right side. The water, still as a mirror, reflects the smokestacks and buildings on the other side and connects them with the freshness of the spring flowers in the right foreground. The factory, a distillery, had just been completed in 1872. The white building with the small smokestack is still there along with a few of the small buildings.\nCricket? In French Impressionism?\nTags: Camille Pissarro, cricket, Impressionism, landscape, London\nHampton Court Green, London\n1891 Washington, DC National Gallery of Arts\nPissarro was intrigued by motifs that were typically English. During his second London visit in 1890, he painted his first cricket match. He must have enjoyed the game because he painted two more cricket matches on his fourth London visit.\nA cricket match is not the easiest thing to depict\u2014the players are spread out over a large playing field. Pissarro capitalizes on the expansiveness of the green lawns edged by magnificent shade trees. He allows them to extend well beyond the edges of the canvas, giving a feeling of endlessness. This and the substantial clubhouse buildings must have been an interesting change for the painter who generally confined his motif to what the eye would see in a glance. Since the painting carries the date of 1891, Pissarro must have finished it in his studio in \u00c9ragny after his return from London.\nWhen this painting was exhibited in Belgium the next year, it attracted the enthusiastic attention of art reviewers. One critic said that the painting \u201cshowing a lawn bathed in summer light, crowded with cricket players [\u2026], possesses above all an extra-ordinary intensity. It miraculously suggests the sumptuous aristocratic English life.\u201d",

We derive the bosonic part of the four-dimensional low energy effective action and show that it is a non-canonical N=2 supergravity which includes a massive two-form. The symplectic invariance of the theory is maintained as long as the flux parameters transform as a symplectic vector and a massive two-form which couples to both electric and magnetic field strengths is present. The mirror symmetry between type IIA and type IIB compactified on mirror manifolds is shown to hold for R-R fluxes at the level of the effective action. We also compactify type IIA in the presence of NS three-form flux but the mirror symmetry in this case remains unclear.\nComments: 36 pages, Latex, version to appear in Nucl. Phys. B",

        "raw_content": "This Trip Will Change Your Life\nVisiting Israel is a transformative experience; we need more people to learn that firsthand.\nBy Michael A. Morris\tApril 12, 2018, 5:30 pm 0 Edit\nThe winter Atlanta Jewish leadership mission visits the Israel Democracy Institute.\nMy first trip to Israel was about 35 years ago when I was 22. I had little connection to the country but knew a little bit about its historical significance.\nIt was a family trip, and my father wanted his children to get an up-close and personal experience. While he had never been to Israel either, he had been very involved in raising money for Israel, most notably for Israel Bonds during the Yom Kippur War.\nAs we were driving to Jerusalem on our first day, heading to my first of many stays at the King David Hotel, our guide told me something that still resonates with me. We must have been driving through East Jerusalem because the ancient walled city was on our left, and the guide said, \u201cOn our left is the old part of Jerusalem, and on our right is the newer section.\u201d\nI looked at the ancient wall and concurred: That part of Jerusalem was quite old. However, I looked to my right and clearly saw that every building in that direction had been built before the founding of the United States.\nI asked our guide to clarify what he meant by \u201cnew.\u201d He responded, \u201cThat\u2019s easy. Everything to the left was built pre-Crusades, and to the right, post Crusades.\u201d\nTo quote an old film, I knew I wasn\u2019t in Kansas anymore.\nIt is hard to assess the depth of history in Israel without seeing and touching it. And once you have seen it, it will touch you for the remainder of your life.\nFast-forward 15 years, and I had the opportunity to spend Yom HaAtzmaut in Israel. Nothing can quite be as diametrically opposed to the omnipresent soul, air and atmosphere of the endurance of a 6,000-year-old city as the vibrant, ecstatic and in-the-moment celebration of an entire nation.\nThe streets appeared filled with every citizen, young, old, religious, secular, Christian, Jewish and even some Muslim, for hours.\nIt was a virtual street party from one side of Jerusalem to the other. Religious men hugging IDF soldiers with guns slung on their backs. IDF soldiers spraying young kids with silly string. Ice cream parlors giving away their wares for free. Thousands of people dancing with strangers in the street.\nWhat an extraordinary island in the world.\nWhen I came back from Israel, my Judaism changed. I didn\u2019t become more religious, but I did become more passionate. I wanted to take an active role in being Jewish.\nI joined American Jewish Committee\u2019s ACCESS, which had formed just the year before. In three or four years, I became the chair. Since then, I have held positions in JNF, Federation, Israel Bonds, ADL, AEPi, the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, the Georgia Holocaust Commission, Chabad, The Temple, Temple Emanu-el, ARZA, Friends of the IDF and several more wonderful institutions.\nI also began traveling to Israel on a regular basis, deepening my ties to the land and the people. All of which brought me where am I today, working at the Atlanta Jewish Times, helping secure the next generation\u2019s love, empathy and respect for and knowledge of our homeland, Israel.\nLook at what one trip to Israel accomplished. They say a picture\u2019s worth a thousand words. The Talmud says that if you save a life, you save a world. If you combine the two, it becomes very powerful.\nEvery time we send a person to Israel, we change that person\u2019s perspective, and usually it\u2019s transformative. Non-Jews see through all the propaganda and understand a thriving, entrepreneurial, democratic and free country rich with the culture and spirituality of a dozen religions. Jews begin to understand who they are and who they have been through the past 2,000 years.\nThat is why Birthright Israel, AJC\u2019s Project Interchange and trips led by Christians United for Israel are so vital for Jewish continuity as well as the safety and security of Israel. These trips transform individual lives and, I believe, ultimately help ensure the survival of our little Start-Up Nation in this vast world.",

        "raw_content": "If I had any preconceived notions about Gillian's Wonderland Pier, it was that it was a pier. You know, some elevated structure reaching out into the water, or at least over sand that might be underwater at some point. In this I was mistaken. It maybe is elevated from the sand; given the mist, there wasn't any way to tell. But it was a cement base, and on the shore side of the boardwalk, so if it's anything like a pier it's not really obvious. I don't know.\nIt's also much more like a large warehouse than I had expected. The main building for the pier is an enormous room, decorated on the outside as a castle, with little octagonal projections and even, in one spot, a dragon peeking in on a princess, getting chin pets. It's a friendly facade. Looks great.\nAlso great: they have an antique carousel. Philadelphia Toboggan Company carousel #75, built 1926 and moved to the pier, which opened in 1929, I do not know when. It's one of the few carousels to still have a brass ring mechanism. This was our third carousel to have a brass ring mechanism, and only the second one to have it working. (Knoebels has and uses the ring. Conneaut Lake Park has the brass ring machine, but if they ever run it, we've not seen that.) It's a lovely carousel, and when we first got there it looked to be the busiest ride in the park. It was packed, and when we'd go for a ride it would be a nearly full ride. Don't often see the carousels that packed, although come to think of it, when I have it's been at Knoebels. Maybe the brass ring is a really good idea.\nIf there's a pay-one-price admission we missed it. We did spent a fair bit of time looking over the rides that they had and figuring out what we'd want to do, and how many tickets this would take. The pier has a delightfully complicated structure, too, with a couple of elevated sections that's probably more fun for people like us who haven't got trouble going up stairs. Not sure what they do for people less mobile. Some of them weren't running, such as the Scrambler; we would see that, but not see it in operation. There's also, in another section, an elevated monorail that runs near the ceiling of the castle, and out over most of the pier. We had watched a good number of cars puttering along, shedding sparks at a couple of spots that we're sure are probably just fine. Those things never set antique carousels on fire, right? Ugh.\nThe pier's got two roller coasters, one of them a Wacky Worm of the kind you see everywhere and that we were still kind of cranky about not getting to ride at Keansburg. The other is the Runaway Train Coaster, a compact steel coaster with a couple steep, diving twists. It's got faintly Mine Train-esque cars, and the front car even has a mock Old West train engine. It runs right next to the giant Ferris wheel which, in hindsight, should indeed have been visible from far away, if not for the mist.\nAlso prominent and exciting: the Haunted House Dark Ride. We love dark rides, and any chance to go puttering around inside a bunch of little scary-themed haunted attractions is a great one. We had, now, a fair idea of what we'd want to ride, and we went to one of the ticket booths. Which were delightful, by the way, and decorated in back by folk art renditions of Wonder Bear and a female bear riding the park's attractions. We were set.\nTrivia: The first appearance of ``chop suey'' in print was in an 1884 column that chef Wong Chin Foo wrote for the Brooklyn Daily Eagle , about what Chinese cooking was like. In this appearance it was spelled ``chop soly''. Source:\t Eight Flavors: The Untold Story of American Cuisine, Sarah Lohman.\nPS:\tHello, Halloweekends Sunday! ... Eventually. You'll see.\nView, while driving, slowly, of the carcass of Mean Streak. We got a few glimpses of the ride under reconstruction since you can't drive to and from the Breakers Hotel without seeing the roller coaster's site. And you can see what the weather was like, which is why we picked Sunday to go out to the Merry-Go-Round museum.\nIn the Merry-Go-Round Museum, in Sandusky: a kiddie carousel mount made to look like Mighty Mouse for the reasons. I can't say that the teeth are helping Mighty look friendly in the way they want.\nElephant stander with a basket for riding at the Merry-Go-Round Museum. It's an amusing and interesting mount and it's nice to see stranger things like this around.\nPPS:\tHow September 2017 Treated My Mathematics Blog, a brief report.\nTags: #75, fifth anniversary trip, gillian's wonderland pier, halloweekends, merry-go-round museum, new jersey",

With the amount of laws that are on the books, almost everyone has broken some obscure law without even knowing it.\nIt is said that, \u201cignorance of the law is no excuse\u201d, but if it is impossible to know, let alone understand every law, how can you be held responsible for not being able to do the impossible.\nThomas Sowell has defined the rule of law and freedom as such.\n\u201cTHE RULE OF LAW\u2013Rules known in advance, applied generally, and constraining the rulers as well as the ruled.\u201d\n\u201cFREEDOM\u2013Exemptions from the power of the rulers and a corresponding limitation on the scope of all laws, even those of democratically elected Governments.\u201d\nAs more laws that get passed, we move farther away from the rule of law, and closer to a point where we lose our individual freedom.

        "title": "Robots vs Journalists? It's happening - Baekdal Plus",
        "raw_content": "Robots vs Journalists? It's happening\nRobots are taking over the role of reporting news, especially when it comes to the type of news that is based on merely on being the bringers of news.\nOne example from earlier this week was an article about the earthquake in LA, which was covered in this story written entirely by a computer. And compared to so many other stories, I actually find this to be one of the best. Especially if you compare it to articles like this one from the Associated Press, which is filled with irrelevant fluff.\nWhat possible value does it have to send out a journalist to get eyewitness reports like this:\nMy dog got out of bed, and she came looking for me,\" Smith said. \"She was shivering terribly.\nBut how good is automatic software-based reporting really? The answer is very, very good... at least according to a new study from Sweden.\nChrister Clerwall, from Karlstad University in Sweden decided to do a 'blind test', asking students to compare news reports done by both journalists and software algorithms. The result was that the software algorithms are now just as good at writing news reports as people.\nAs you can see from the graphs below, when it came to how the story was perceived, journalists and software algorithms were nearly identical. The only slight difference being that journalistic-written articles appeared slightly better written, although less useful, trustworthy, and informative.\nIn other words, journalists are better storytellers but their stories are just not that good.\nEven more interesting is when you he asked them to guess who had written the article. 56% responded that they thought the articles written by journalists were actually written by a computer, while 37% thought journalists had written those made by a computer.\nIn other words, in terms of simply being the bringer of news, journalists have now been outcompeted by software. People can't tell the difference, and software algorithms can work much faster, more accurate (if the data is accurate of course), and 24-7 at almost zero cost.\nThe old business model of being a reporter and to 'bring the news' is over. This will in the future be done completely automatically, and it's only a matter of time before the big tech companies move in. The next time there is an earthquake, Google Now, Apple Siri and Microsoft Cortana will simply read aloud the story like the one done automatically by LA Times. Several startups will try to capitalize on this by creating data-news content services. And while many of these will not succeed, the best ones will eventually be incorporated into other services.\nIn many ways, what is happening to journalists is the same that once happened to the fashion industry. As you may know I started my career in fashion, and the first company I worked for employed about 60 people. There were 2 sales people, 2 designers, 4 administrative staff, 3 technicians, a janitor, and about 50 seamstresses. During the time I was there, those 50 seamstresses lost their job, because the production was outsourced to Poland (and later China).\nThe people in Poland could do the same job, at a higher quality, with fewer resources, and much, much cheaper. A company with 60 employees could now be run using only eight - and still make the same product.\nThis is what's happening to journalism.\nSo the question all journalists should ask themselves is \"are you a seamstress? ...or are you a designer?\" If you are merely a seamstress, i.e. a journalist merely reporting stories based on available information, your future looks bleak.\nBut if you are a designer, i.e. a journalist who goes beyond just reporting the news, but instead focus on providing insight, perspective, analysis, then your future is looking better than ever. In a world of data, we need people to give us perspective and to help us translate it into something that is relevant for us as individuals.\nAnd no, this doesn't mean interviewing eyewitnesses that have nothing insightful to tell, nor does it evolve interviewing experts or pundits who merely conjecture without having any real insight. It's about being better than the news itself.\nSadly though, many newspapers are currently moving in the wrong direction with their pageview-optimized news reporting. They are trying to build traffic by bringing people even more news, not realizing that that's exactly the what automatic algorithms do best.",

        "title": "Measures Announced to Stop Tax Planning Strategies Involving Private Corporations",
        "raw_content": "Measures Announced to Stop Tax Planning Strategies Involving Private Corporations\nOn July 18, 2017, Federal Finance Minister Bill Morneau announced the launch of consultations on measures to address tax planning strategies involving the use of private corporations. The Government is targeting the following three issues identified in Federal Budget 2017:\nSprinkling income using private corporations, which shifts income from a high-income individual facing a higher personal income tax rate to family members who are subject to lower personal tax rates or who may not be taxable at all.\nConverting an individual shareholder's income from a private corporation from salary or dividends into capital gains, which reduces income taxes by taking advantage of the lower tax rates on capital gains.\nHolding a passive investment portfolio inside a private corporation, which may lead to higher investment returns than if the passive investment portfolio were held directly by an individual.\nThe proposed measures, as set out below and if enacted, may have a significant effect on the taxation of privately held corporations of all sizes and their shareholders.\nIncome Sprinkling and Access to Lifetime Capital Gains Exemption\nCommencing in 2018, the Government proposes to extend the existing highest rate tax on split income (the \"TOSI\") for minors to certain adult individuals. Under current rules, taxpayers earning active business income have been able to divide this income among adult family members (who are often in lower tax brackets), resulting in significant annual overall tax savings. The new rules will require such adult family members to contribute, in labour or capital, to the business at a level commensurate with the income received, and introduces a reasonableness test for the purpose of determining whether the TOSI applies to adult individuals \u2014 a test which will be stricter for 18-24 year olds. Only a \"reasonable\" split income amount received by an adult individual would not be subject to the TOSI.\nThe Government also proposes to limit the multiplication of the lifetime capital gains exemption among family members who are not actively engaged in the business (again, measured based upon a reasonableness test), and to prevent gains accruing during periods while shares are held by minors, or in a family trust, from qualifying for the exemption. Proposed transition rules will permit access to the exemption for gains that accrue before the new rules take effect.\nThe proposals also introduce more stringent tax reporting requirements for trusts to ensure they are subject to rules that parallel those currently in place for corporations and partnerships.\nDraft legislation was released for comment in conjunction with the consultation paper.\nConverting Income into Capital Gains\nAs only one-half of a capital gain is included in income, the effective tax rate for capital gains is significantly lower than the rate applicable to other types of income. Currently, there is an anti-avoidance rule that prevents individual shareholders from converting salary or dividend income into capital gains in certain limited circumstances involving the transfer of shares between non-arm's length parties. The Government proposes to broaden the existing rule to ensure that more transactions between non-arm's length parties will give rise to dividends, rather than capital gains. The Government also proposes to introduce a separate \"anti-stripping\" anti-avoidance rule with a purpose test. These rules will apply to distributions on or after July 18, 2017.\nThe Government recognizes that restricting the ability to access capital gains treatment may hinder the transfer of a business from one generation to the next. Consultations will ask stakeholders to consider ways to accommodate such transfers while broadening the anti-avoidance rule.\nHolding Passive Investment Income Inside a Corporation\nThe Government has indicated that it views the ability to invest after-tax business income earned in a corporation (which is subject to significantly lower tax than income earned by an individual) as an unfair advantage available to private corporations. As such, it is seeking feedback from stakeholders on possible approaches to eliminate incentives to invest passively within a corporation that also meet the following objectives:\nPreserving the intent of the lower tax rates on active business income earned by corporations, which is to encourage growth and job creation; and\nEliminating the tax-assisted financial advantages of investing passively through a private corporation, and ensuring that no new avenues for avoidance are introduced.\nThese proposals are far-reaching and will have a significant impact on most small businesses and private corporations. The Government is seeking input on all of the proposed measures and is accepting submissions on these proposals until October 2, 2017. We anticipate that, subject to the results of the consultations, formal legislation will be introduced before the end of the year in connection with the proposals relating to Income Sprinkling, the Lifetime Capital Gains Exemption, and Converting Income into Capital Gains.\nPlease contact BLG for advice on how the proposals may apply to your particular circumstances.\nLindsay Holmes QC\nLHolmes@blg.com\nDanielle K.

        "raw_content": "Court Refuses to Certify a Class Action against Halifax for the Expropriation of Africville Residents\n\u200bThe decision may end 20 years of litigation related to the 1960s expropriation and relocation of the black community of Africville\nIn Carvery v. Halifax (City), the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia denied certification of a proposed class action on the basis that there was not an identifiable class of two or more persons and that the proposed common liability issue was overly broad.\nIn 1996, former residents of Africville (a community founded by Black Nova Scotians in the early 1800s) and their descendants started a class action seeking compensation for having been wrongfully expropriated and relocated in the 1960s. A settlement was reached in 2010 and the descendants of those who had been evicted received compensation. While the action of the majority of the plaintiffs was dismissed as part of the settlement, there were some divisions between the plaintiffs and the action was allowed to continue in a substantially restructured form.\nThe plaintiff in the restructured action sought compensation for \"communal lands\" used by Africville residents for schools, stores, farms and fishing operations and over which he alleged they had a property interest that the City of Halifax took away without compensation.\nThe court found that the claim disclosed a reasonable cause of action. While the exact legal basis for the existence of an interest in Africville's communal lands was unclear, the court accepted that the acquisition of land interests by use or possession was known in law and that is was not plain and obvious that the plaintiffs' claim would not succeed.\nHowever, the judge found there was not an identifiable class of two or more persons. The plaintiff proposed the following class definition:\n\"all former residents and the estates of deceased former residents of Africville who held property interests in the communal lands of Africville and had those property interests taken by the City of Halifax and who have not otherwise disposed of their property interests before November 26, 1969, were removed from the physical community of Africville between 1962 and 1970 and who have not signed releases to this Action or had their claims otherwise dismissed or discontinued.\"\nThe judge found significant problems with the proposed class description. Africville was not an incorporated entity with defined boundaries and there was no stated objective criteria to determine: (i) who qualified as a resident of Africville for the purpose of the claim; (ii) who was \"removed\" from Africville; and (iii) who had a \"property interest\" in Africville's communal lands. For example, the judge wondered whether a tenant of an expropriated landowner who was required to move at the instance of the landowner was \"removed\" from Africville or whether a child residing in Africville could have held a \"property interest\".\nThe plaintiff also failed to demonstrate that there was some basis in fact to show there was a second class member who fell within his description of the class.\nThe court also denied certification because the claim did not raise a common issue with respect to whether the City was liable to class members for failing to follow the proper expropriation procedures. The City could only be liable to those persons who fell within the meaning of an \"owner\" as defined in the relevant expropriation legislation. And while the definition was broad enough to include \"persons having the charge or control of any land\", the determination of whether a person was an \"owner\" in communal lands would require individual determination. As such, the court found the action would inevitably break down into individual trials and that the issue of liability could not be resolved in common.\nMore and more class actions seeking redress for historical wrongs are being certified by Canadian courts. The decision in Carvery v. Halifax (City) shows the courts will deny certification to proposed class actions that are not properly framed and designed to achieve the goals of class proceedings.\nDaniel Girlando\nDGirlando@blg.com",

        "raw_content": "Letter to a foster parent\n\u201cI want you to know that I graduated from college with honors\u2026 I wished you were there.\u201d\nGrowing up, Catherine Pearson alternated between living with foster parents and her birth mother. Now 34 years old, she wrote this open letter to the sixteen foster families who cared for her and taught her lessons that influenced her well into adulthood.\nI remember the day I came to live with you, carrying all of my belongings in a black trash bag. I had a sick feeling in my stomach when I was called to the office at school and a caseworker walked me out to her car to drive me to your house. She told me how wonderful your family was and bought me a Happy Meal from McDonald\u2019s. I forced myself to take a few bites.\nI may have seemed shy and scared the first few days I lived with you. I didn\u2019t know what the rules were, I didn\u2019t know if I would get in trouble if I accidentally wet the bed. I really wished that I could have brought my poodle, Princess, with me.\nThank you for making me breakfast and helping me put my clothes away. I never knew that parents made kids hot meals every day! Holy cow! Thanks for letting me watch and help you cook, clean, work in the office, and even let me drive with you to the store (just you and me). At first, I thought your family was on their best behavior and that after I was there a while things would go back to the way things were at my \u201creal\u201d mom\u2019s house\u2026 but they didn\u2019t.\nThank you for all the time you spent making our Easter baskets and then hiding little messages around the house for us to find them (mine was hidden in the dryer), for teaching me about buckling up in the car, and for helping me to realize the hard truth about why I was not at my \u201creal\u201d house.\nThank you for understanding why I started to rebel when I got comfortable in your home. You were angry when I jumped on my bed when it was bedtime and when I dug up the tree roots in the front yard. But you knew I was not a bad kid.\nI want you to know that when I went back to my mom\u2019s house I would still do the things you taught me to do. I would always buckle up in the car. I would make sure to keep my clothes washed. And even though I didn\u2019t always have a bed at my mom\u2019s house, I kept the same bedtime routine you taught me. Yes, I brushed my teeth every night, even though I told you I wouldn\u2019t have to at my \u201creal\u201d mom\u2019s house.\nI want you to know that when I went to school, I started to do my best. I still had fun and made jokes during class, but I slowly started getting good grades. I even helped my older brother and sister with their math facts!\nI finished high school and went to college. In one of my psychology classes, the professor said that kids raised in a neglectful or drug-affected environment would repeat the cycle. He said that they would not be able to hold down a job, maintain relationships, or go to college. I was mad. He had no idea that I was breaking the cycle. So, I decided that I would also get a master\u2019s degree, and I did. As you can see, I still like to prove people wrong.\nI want you to know that I graduated from college with honors. I know you would have been proud. I wished you were there. I didn\u2019t know what to do with the family tickets that I was given for the graduation. I think I may still have them.\nI became a Christian, and I have been married for 14 years. I have three kids, and I have done everything possible to be the best mom to them. I took in foster kids, too, and told them all about you! Though I don\u2019t have but a handful of pictures from my childhood, I do have clear memories of you. I think of you all the time. You are my real family.\nMerry Christmas from your foster child.\n\u201cFoster parents have the power to positively affect generations. Watching my foster parents seeking support for me and getting involved in my education has made me a stronger advocate for my kids today.\u201d\nAlumni perspective / Foster parenting",

        "raw_content": "A bunch of unbelievable dunderheids calling themselves the 'Constitutional Reform Group' are proposing a new Act of Union. You can read it here. The group are remarkably coy about their membership, but rumour has it that they are, at least primarily, members of the House of Lords - which comes as no surprise to me (indeed, I'd hazard I could correctly guess the names of several members).\nLong time readers of my blog will recall that I've written on the UK constitution, rather often:\nA breakfast any self-respecting dog would reject\nFortunately the committee have provided a feedback form through which you can give your opinion of their turgid bucket of foetid dingoes' kidneys, here. I strongly commend the idea you do so. For inspiration, my own contribution is below; do not copy it, as that is bad form, but feel free to riff melodically on some of these points.\nI have very rarely read a more foolish or more incendiary document - this ranks surely alongside Jonathan Swift's Modest Proposal for offensiveness, but lacks the wit.\nIt is not possible to have a federal state in which one confederate can always outvote all others. If the United Kingdom is to become a federal state, then either England must be split into at least five separate units (Wessex, Sussex, Essex, Mercia, Northumbria, perhaps) or Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, put together, must be able to outvote England. Otherwise it isn't a confederation, it's an empire (which, under your committee's proposal, of course, it is).\nIt is not possible to have a democracy with appointed legislators. Not any appointed legislators at all. The United Kingdom, of course, never has been a democracy, but it is about time it became one.\nIt is not tolerable that a broad range of taxes be retained by the federal administration. The centre can have few functions and therefore has little expenditure; the overwhelming majority of revenue must be generated where it is needed - in the nations. It would be better to put all taxation powers with the nations and fund the federal government with subventions from them.\nIt is not possible to have a UK wide court system, because there is not a UK wide system of law. Nor is it desirable that there should be, unless, of course, England wishes to submit to the jurisdiction of Scots law. No? Didn't thinks so. Similarly, a UK wide civil service makes no sense.\nIf you want to cause civil war in these islands, I commend your proposed bill as a most excellent way to proceed. Otherwise, I suggest you bury it in the deepest cesspit you can find, and pray it never resurfaces.",

Our family moved here when the growing company I started in Silicon Valley back in 1989 was bought by a faster-growing company here in North Carolina, Red Hat. North Carolina is home to a great community of innovators, and today we are proud to stand with many of them as we unveil what has truly been a community effort.\nWhen I read The Omnivore\u2019s Dilemma in 2006, I realized that the question \u201cwhat should we eat for dinner?\u201d had life-changing implications. We are what we eat. But as a society, we also decide what we grow, how we grow it, how it comes to market, and at what price. In 1903, commercial seed houses offered 288 varieties of beets; by 1983 the choice is down to 17. From 544 types of cabbage, we\u2019re down to 28. From 307 types of sweet corn, we\u2019re down to 12. Our dinner-time choices are a function of many choices made before we were even born. The Omnivore\u2019s Dilemma teaches that when the question \u201cwhat can we do?\u201d becomes too limiting, the question of what should we do becomes all the more urgent.

        "title": "Page 23 \u2013 Industry insight from professionals in international education",
        "raw_content": "International education as an industry: \u201conly talent that has truly been educated is an asset to an economy\u201d\n\u201cTeaching and learning is not an industrial process; it is a human endeavour with all the triumph and tribulation that comes with it\u201d\nHanneke Teekens, Chair of the Board at AFS Intercultural Programmes in the Netherlands and former member of the board of directors of the Netherlands Organization for International Cooperation in Higher Education (NUFFIC), writes on attitudes towards international education, asking how helpful it is to approach it as an \u2018industry\u2019.\nOver the years I have resisted the term \u2018 the industry\u2019 when referring to the internationalisation of higher education. Perhaps because I am a non-Anglo, coming from a tradition of public and affordable higher education that is seen as a non-commercial good. But ask any person in the street what is meant by \u2018the industry\u2019 and nobody would come up with international higher education. In other words, it is an in-crowd term in \u2018our circle\u2019 that is best avoided with a wider audience.\nMoreover, using this terminology denies the specific context of education. Producing knowledge, to stay with the vocabulary of the market, is built upon a relationship that involves teaching and learning and not one of selling and buying. Education requires personal involvement of both teacher and student. A student must want to learn. The affective part of learning is the first step and requires an attitude of curiosity and engagement. In international education even more so.\nSure, diploma mills can sell a diploma and they do, but that does not mean anything has been taught and learned. Education is an intrinsic cultural and social good, with clearly a strong economic impact. Teaching and learning is not an industrial process; it is a human endeavour with all the triumph and tribulation that comes with it. Universities have a long tradition of imbuing society with critical thinking and innovation. It is essential for our industrial society to acknowledge that autonomous role.\n\u201cUniversities have a long tradition of imbuing society with critical thinking and innovation. It is essential for our industrial society to acknowledge that autonomous role\u201d\nEducation is not for free and neither is it cheap. Some parts of the world have capacity issues and declining enrolment of home students in other countries makes the inflow of foreigners an attractive option \u2013 on the one hand to help battered finances, but also to enhance the quality of education.\nMoreover, international graduates are considered important ambassadors and increasingly are seen as potential immigrants to strengthen the workforce. Talent is on the move and there is no denial that economic considerations are a top priority. But only talent that has truly been educated is an asset to an economy. Hordes of people with a whole list of impressive degrees, but with no competencies to deal with globalised working and living conditions will feel frustrated and so will business and industry. More research on how to improve the relevance of international education for the international workplace is clearly needed.\n\u201cHordes of people with a whole list of impressive degrees, but with no competencies to deal with globalised working and living conditions will feel frustrated and so will business and industry\u201d\nI write these lines high above the clouds from Amsterdam to Brazil, where later this week I will present at the Faubai conference in Joinville. My workshop concerns the impact of international student mobility on the home institution. The main question addresses the curriculum. How do we prepare all graduates, both home and international, to deal with globalised working and living conditions?\nI kill time and read a whole stack of papers and journals. One article really catches my attention. The headline is \u2018From Communism to Catholic school\u2019 , by Kyle Spencer. (International NY Times, April 8, 2014). The accompanying picture shows us a pensive 18-year-old Di Wang, one of 39 Chinese students at a suburban school in New Jersey. The article informs us that Ms. Wang wants to continue to go to college in the US but will remain an atheist. At the same time the director of the seminar that teaches the basics of Catholicism comes to the conclusion that unless you know about Jesus it is going to be really difficult. Fortunately Di Wang sometimes prays to thank God for a beautiful day and the DePaul Catholic High School receives a wonderful fee.\nIn the end Ms. Wang sums up her learning experience as \u2018do good, avoid evil\u2019. It is an insight that Confucius came up with centuries before the Catholic Church even came to exist. More importantly, or downright worrying, is the fact that Di Wang may never be aware of this.\nHE marketing in a digital age: \u2018it\u2019s not so much about the channels that you use, it\u2019s about the questions that you ask\u2019\n\u201cMy favourite case study is about the University of Nottingham in 2010, before the UK general elections\u2026 Almost every article about the election in the significant UK media quoted a University of Nottingham Politics department faculty member\u201d\nUS higher education marketing expert Michael Stoner talks to Gerrit Bruno Bl\u00f6ss about how universities market themselves in an age of digital technology and social media. Michael Stoner is author of \u2018Social Works\u2019, a book about social media marketing in higher education.\nYour book features more than two dozen case studies of universities employing social media in their marketing. Which one of those examples is your favourite, and why?\nMy personal favourite is the one about the University of Nottingham. In 2010, before the general elections in the United Kingdom, they saw an opportunity to position the staff of their Politics department as expert commentators. There are three reasons why that case study is so interesting.\nFirst, none of the things that the University of Nottingham did would be far beyond the scope that an expert PR publisher in 1985 would have done, except for the fact that they used a blog, Twitter, e-mail, and YouTube, which of course did not exist in 1985. A lot of the conceptual framework for the campaign was based on sound PR practice. You identify the people that you need to reach out to and how to reach them, and then you work the channels. It\u2019s different today than in 1985 because we are operating in a different timeframe, but the basic PR principles still hold.\nSecondly, they were very careful in identifying the outcomes that they were seeking. They were very SMART in setting goals \u2013 measurable, achievable and realistic \u2013 and they blew all their goals out of the water. They wanted to involve four Politics department faculty members, and they actually involved eight; they wanted 20 pieces of international coverage and they achieved 466\u2026 Almost every article about the election in the significant UK media quoted a University of Nottingham Politics department faculty member.\n\u201cIf you are thoughtful about the way you construct the campaign, the effects can be even more far-reaching than the original goals\u201d\nA third reason is that the campaign had significant impact not only because they achieved their goals \u2013 but they demonstrated that if you are thoughtful about the way you construct the campaign, the effects can be even more far-reaching than the original goals. You could say that achieving a 15% bump in applications is significant, and it is, but, in a university environment, having other faculty members look to your department as a success is a really significant achievement that is hard to measure.\nThis case study shows that it\u2019s not so much about the channels that you use, it\u2019s about the questions that you ask, the needs you have. That\u2019s basic marketing 101.\nIn some of the case studies, the reason for using social media for marketing was to build the brand while keeping expenses low.\nSocial media is often about keeping the external spend low. One of my frustrations with higher education and some of our colleagues is that they look at an external spend as a cost, but they don\u2019t view staff time as a cost. To me, as a business person, it\u2019s a huge cost. If I have a developer who is working on an internal project and not working for a client, then that\u2019s a real expense to me, we\u2019re losing income. Just because the higher education institution is booking revenue in a different way than we do it doesn\u2019t mean that staff time shouldn\u2019t be seen as a valuable asset and looked at in the entire picture of costs.\n\u201cIf I have a developer who is working on an internal project and not working for a client, then that\u2019s a real expense to me\u201d\nThat\u2019s one of the big challenges when we talk about accounting for these projects: if you\u2019re really using social media effectively, people will be spending time on it. That\u2019s time that they\u2019re not going to be able to do other things. You have to recognise that. If you don\u2019t, the project is not going to be as successful as it otherwise would be. So the advantage of a project like the one at the University of Nottingham is, of course, they had a fixed timeframe; it\u2019s easier to run a project like that because the expenditure of staff time happened in a much shorter timeframe.\nHow much does a typical US institution spend on marketing?\nThat\u2019s a very difficult question to answer. I was on a state university\u2019s campus recently and they had a study done that indicated that the institution was spending US$71 million on marketing. But when you looked at the budget that was controlled by the university\u2019s central marketing unit, the spend was about $3 million. What\u2019s the right answer? I can\u2019t really tell you. That institution is having a struggle now how to answer that question. And this kind of fragmented marketing organisation is really typical for universities in the US, but also internationally.\nDo you see differences in the approach to social media between Anglo-Saxon countries, where education is expensive for the students, and \u201ccheaper\u201d countries like Germany, where institutions rely more on state funding than tuition fees?\n\u201cYou want to build buzz around your institution because you want better students\u2026 perhaps you want to be the Harvard of Germany\u201d\nMany institutions that aren\u2019t very concerned about marketing in terms of recruiting or fundraising are interested in social media because their focus in marketing is to enhance the brand value of the institution, so marketing is focused on the brand. It\u2019s not related to student recruitment or fundraising. That\u2019s something where social media could be very important and an essential tool. You want to build buzz around your institution because you want better students, even though you are as affordable as any other university \u2013 but perhaps you want to be the Harvard of Germany.\nGerrit Bruno Bl\u00f6ss is a Valuation & Business Modelling consultant with Ernst & Young in Stockholm. He assists clients in business plans, financing and business valuations, especially in the technology environment.\nThis interview was first published by CHIP.DE in German \u2013 read the original here.\nNo longer should languages be dismissed as \u2018soft skills\u2019\n\u201cAs business becomes increasingly borderless in years to come, the language skills and cultural competencies of our business leaders will become critical to our economic health\u201d\nGary Muddyman, CEO of Oxford-based translation agency Conversis, discusses the language skills crisis facing the UK and explains why he believes languages should no longer be seen as a \u2018soft skill\u2019.\nLast month, I was invited to address The All Party Parliamentary Group on Modern Languages session on behalf of the Globalisation and Localisation Association (GALA), a global trade body representing 27,000 language service providers. I took the opportunity to deliver an important message: the deepening language skills shortage is affecting UK competitiveness abroad. In order for UK businesses to continue to trade successfully in coming years, the nation\u2019s attitude to languages must change.\nNo longer should languages be dismissed as \u2018soft skills\u2019. It is essential that languages are intertwined with the core STEM skills driving the global economy. As business becomes increasingly borderless in years to come, with languages other than English likely to become the lingua franca, the language skills and cultural competencies of our business leaders will become critical to our economic health. Without language the global economy simply can\u2019t function; monolingual cultures will lose out.\nIt was estimated recently that the language skills deficit costs UK \u00a348bn a year (3.5% of GDP)\nThe crisis in language education in the UK is well documented: 2013 saw a 40% drop in universities offering language courses and the number of UK students taking language A-Levels hitting an all time low. It was estimated recently that the language skills deficit costs UK \u00a348bn a year (3.5% of GDP).\nWhilst the UK is finally making some steps in the right direction (for example, with languages becoming a compulsory part of the curriculum for primary school children aged seven plus from September) I believe this to be too little and too late. It could take between 20 and 40 years in all reality for teachers to be trained, youngsters to be taught and for business people with the right combination of language skills and cultural competencies to emerge to lead our businesses.\nAt present we simply do not have the linguistic talent in this country to even fill the jobs that currently exist. My business is based in rural Oxfordshire, but only a handful of my staff are British nationals and have come through the British education system. This is for no reason other than we find candidates from Europe generally have stronger skills in the required areas.\nHowever, the point I would like to make is that it is not just the Language Service Industry that has cause for concern here; the language skills deficit is set to affect British competitiveness abroad generally. Considering the seriousness of these consequences it is surprising there is less awareness of the problem or action being taken to address it.\n\u201cit is not just the Language Service Industry that has cause for concern here; the language skills deficit is set to affect British competitiveness abroad generally\u201d\nWhilst it remains an uphill battle, it is good to know that there are several strong initiatives out there currently making headway. These include \u2018Languages for All\u2019: a strategic effort, spearheaded by the University of Maryland and supported by the British Academy to widen language learning, resulting in an advanced language proficiency in the workforce. There is also what has been dubbed the \u2018Global Talent Program\u2019, spearheaded by GALA and primarily sponsored by Manpower Group. This sets out to create an environment in both the UK and US where business and education work together toward job growth and economic competitiveness.\nShould you be interested in reading more about the language skills deficit and the opportunities and challenges facing the Language Services industry, you can download a PDF of my presentation to the APPG here.\nThere is no such thing as a \u2018one size fits all\u2019 international strategy\n\u201cYou can\u2019t assume that your domestic marketing strategy can be applied internationally with the same level of success\u201d\nDan Sommer, Education Marketing Expert and President of Global Education, Zeta Interactive, considers some of the challenges university officials must consider when building effective regional strategies.\nOver the past 12 months, universities have experienced declining enrolment numbers for a variety of reasons: demographic shifts; an improving economy; increasing competition from both for-profit institutions and more traditional schools; and the influx of disruptive technologies and learning platforms. University officials are now tasked with looking at creative ways to counterbalance declining domestic enrolment numbers.\nIn the past, university leaders have been forced to consider things like adjusting discount rates or modifying quality standards to meet financial objectives when tackling declining domestic enrolment. Now, however, increasing international recruitment is a meaningful alternative to consider and one that we see as a top five priority for most university leadership teams.\nGoing international represents an opportunity for institutions to maintain tuition while counterbalancing declining numbers, but it presents an array of challenges to marketing and admissions teams. You can\u2019t assume that your domestic marketing strategy can be applied internationally with the same level of success.\nWhen expanding to international markets, it is important to understand the regional differences that might impact your success. Developing an awareness of how your brand will fit in different regions is key. Further, some regions are more price conscious then others and may require differential pricing or scholarship options to overcome financial barriers. Thus, as you develop an international strategy, the first step is to dive deep into the educational landscape of the country you are entering.\n\u201cAs you develop an international strategy, the first step is to dive deep into the educational landscape of the country you are entering\u201d\nFinding the Right Product Market Fit\nA number of factors should be considered when launching particular programmes. For example, there are regions that have truly embraced online programmes (the UK), while others take a more mixed position (Canada). Yet others do not currently recognise or support online learning (certain regions in Asia). In developing your strategy, understanding both consumer and government acceptance of online learning is key. Based upon what you uncover, you might consider a strategy that focuses on a hybrid model with some classroom learning and some online, or a or periodic campus immersion experience with the majority of learning online, with limited face to face campus time. I have seen the latter be highly effective for South American recruitment.\nInstitutions should also consider whether additional contact hours or local student support is needed to enhance the learning experience. If your programmes are taught in English and you are in regions where English is secondary, you may need to deploy additional tutors to offset the potential learning gap.\n\u201cIt\u2019s important to consider whether your programmes are fully relevant to local conditions and economies\u201d\nFinally, it\u2019s important to consider whether your programmes are fully relevant to local conditions and economies. While the MBA is currently the most popular programme internationally, each region may have preferences regarding specialisations (e.g. entrepreneurship vs. Islamic Finance). It is dangerous to assume that the programme that works so well in the US will work equally as well in every region.\nSelecting The Right Marketing And Recruitment Partners\nIn an ideal scenario, it would be possible to generate all of your international inquiries within your marketing department or with your existing partners. The reality is there are many nuances to local student recruitment. For example, if you plan to recruit students in Russia and CIS, selecting a partner with Yandex experience is key. If you are utilising email marketing services, does your partner understand local privacy regulations? There are thousands of new media outlets to consider, from local, SEO-driven education directories to highly targeted regional publications that the right partners can introduce into your marketing mix.\nFurther down the \u2018funnel\u2019 are call centre partnerships (locally and with regional expertise) that can play an important role in qualifying traffic. US institutions often attempt to call new web leads within 120 seconds, but this may not play well in some regions. Language and tempo may also need to be altered on a regional basis and can be the difference between success and failure in new markets.\nLast, but certainly not least, is the question of whether your institution has the operational infrastructure to qualify and enrol international students. Often, institutions create separate units to manage lead flow and applications from international students. Developing the infrastructure that will allow for the proper vetting of candidates (e.g. understanding whether local credentials meet admissions standards, language qualification, and even consideration of prerequisites) can be highly complex.\nIn addition, local currencies and exchange rates could present a number of challenges for your finance team. Many institutions consider outsourcing aspects of the enrolment process, which can help to reduce some of the complexities.\nDan Sommer is an education marketing expert.

Nate Freedman, Campus Director at Boston-based Language Skills, gives a first-person account of the accreditation process of an independent, single-site language school.\nJames Stakenburg, Head of Teacher Training at Rennert, recently presented his case study of going through the accreditation process (The PIE News, October 25), stating that \u201cthe advantages far outweigh the disadvantages\u201d. And as the accreditation deadline draws closer, we are continuing to hear from both members of the accrediting bodies and the schools they accredit on the challenges and benefits of accreditation.\nFrom the perspective of an independent, single-site language school, where administrators and faculty already \u201cwear many hats\u201d, adding the task of accreditation, which requires a comprehensive review of the entire program, poses so many challenges that during the application process the potential benefits of being accredited can seem distant and unattainable. Throughout our journey to accreditation, we asked ourselves many times: will the advantages of accreditation really outweigh the disadvantages?\nWell, now that Language Skills has received initial accreditation with CEA, the benefits are becoming clear, and I can begin to reflect on the question of whether the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.\nAdvantages: Our faculty loves the improvements to the program. Clearly written syllabi and curricula with relevant course goals and student learning outcomes make their jobs easier and more enjoyable. Improved faculty orientation and ongoing professional development provides greater job satisfaction. Upon hiring our newest instructors, we heard a lot of, \u201cwow, I am so impressed with how organized you guys are!\u201d\nStudents also enjoy the increased structure and relevancy of their courses, and it allows us to market the program with greater confidence. No longer do we believe our quality is on-par with international and multi-site programs, but we have evidence to show it.\nDisadvantages: Along with being a language school, we can\u2019t forget that we are also a small business! Maintaining a healthy small business requires the careful allocation of resources, and finding the resources to go through and now maintain accreditation was and continues to be our biggest challenge. Mr. Stakenburg admitted that Rennert \u201ctook someone off their regular job full-time for three months and most staff had extra work to do as well\u201d to prepare for accreditation. We too had to find creative ways to meet the demands of accreditation with limited resources.\nYet, as I\u2019m sure many of The PIE News readers can attest to, working with limited resources is not something only schools of our size and model face, and that all US language schools facing the December deadline of accreditation will see unique challenges and benefits.\nIn our case, accreditation has already opened new marketing channels and increased employee and student satisfaction, and we have managed to do it all with our own internal resources. It appears that Mr. Stakenburg\u2019s claim was right: even for independent, single-site language schools like ours, the advantages of accreditation still outweigh the disadvantages.\nAre pig trotters the best we have to offer China?\n\u201cProviding young people with opportunities to live and work in the UK is likely to do far more to build an appreciation of \u2018British norms and values\u2019 than bungled conversations between the prime minister and Chinese officials\u201d\n\u201cNothing says \u2018declining international influence\u2019 like heralding a deal to export pig semen and trotters as \u2018doing all we can to ensure that businesses up and down the country reap the rewards from our relationship with China\u2019.\nIn the week that David Cameron led the UK\u2019s largest ever trade visit to Beijing, new research by IPPR shows the UK has a much better export offer to make. China sends out more international students than any other country in the world. And as China\u2019s economy grows, so does demand for international education.\nUsing such trips to encourage more Chinese students to study in the UK would be a \u2018win-win\u2019 for China and the UK. The UK\u2019s education sector is globally renowned. But its funding structures are in a mess. Billions of pounds in student loans are likely to go unpaid. Last week the government had to stop some universities offering places to UK students due to a lack of funding. The government pledged in the autumn statement to lift the overall cap on UK students in 2015. But there are serious question marks over how this will be funded. In this context, international students provide vital revenue. The Department of Business Innovation and Skills (BIS) estimate that they contribute over \u00a313 billion to the UK economy each year, generating 70,000 jobs and keeping courses like maths and engineering viable. And there is room for growth: BIS estimates that the number of international students in UK higher education can increase by 15-20 percent over the next five years. In addition, providing young people with opportunities to live and work in the UK is likely to do far more to build an appreciation of \u2018British norms and values\u2019 than bungled conversations between the prime minister and Chinese officials.\nYet we heard nothing from David Cameron about this. The UK\u2019s competitors, such as Australia and France have streamlined their visa processes and put together packages such as improved work rights to entice globally mobile Chinese people to study in their institutions. But the UK has done the opposite. The UK\u2019s \u2018post-study work\u2019 route was closed in 2011. Application requirements have been made more convoluted. Education providers are being forced out by the cost of meeting strict regulations. Despite significant global growth, the overall number of international students coming to the UK to study has dropped from 245,000 a year in 2010 to just 176,000 a year.\nThe Government claims that the lower numbers are a result of tough action against \u2018bogus students\u2019. But the Home Office\u2019s own analysis shows that \u2018bogus students\u2019 only account for a small part of this reduction. Rather, the reductions in student numbers are because of the government\u2019s commitment to reduce net migration to the UK. International students comprise one third of all immigrants to the UK. In order to reduce immigration, the government have to drastically reduce the number of international students. While there is an argument to be had about reducing migration for other reasons, reducing the number of genuine students is directly against the UK\u2019s best interests and is causing profound damage to a vital export industry. Importantly, this is an issue on which government, the education sector and public all agree on: 68% of British people want to see the number of migrants coming to study at UK universities maintained or increased.\nThe government faces a difficult problem balancing support for the education sector with responding to public concern about immigration. However, the policies the Coalition is pursuing are achieving neither. Instead, the government need to commit to increasing international student numbers by implementing a package of measures to attract the brightest and best while clamping down on abuse and ensuring that students contribute to life in the UK. Not to mention, promoting the UK\u2019s colleges internationally. This will allow the UK to retain its reputation as a world leader in quality education, as well as provider of porcine products.\u201d\nJenny Pennington is Researcher at IPPR. She tweets at @JennyIPPR\n10 essential things to consider when choosing a US University\nDustin Daniels at Florida State University on 10 things international students should know before choosing to study in the USA:\n1. Location and Culture\nThe first thing to know about the American university system is that there are over 4,000 colleges and universities to choose from. These sites of higher education range from small liberal arts colleges to large public research universities, specialized community colleges, and many others in between! I\u2019d say two of the most common kinds of universities are those found in more urban city centres and those found in more rural \u2018college towns\u2019.\nGoing to school in the city can be a very rewarding experience, as the city life can help complement your time as student and add a layer of cultural discovery to your collegiate career. On the other hand, it might also dilute or convolute your time as well, as the hustle and bustle can sometimes build a wedge between you and the university student experience. Likewise, a \u2018college town\u2019 is typically a place where you can find a small community coalescing around a university as its main focal point and lifeblood. There is something to be said for this kind of school, but it might also mean you don\u2019t have access to the amenities or the diversity of a large city.\n2. University Pride and Alumni Network\nOne of the amazing aspects of the US university system is the great pride and enthusiasm that folks develop for their school. This pride often starts with competitive sports programs, but also manifests in many other areas. It isn\u2019t uncommon, for instance, for students to wear university apparel, attend university events, and rejoice in university achievement, whether it be a sports championship or a faculty member winning a research award. Pride for your university allows you to build powerful relationships that often transcend generations, backgrounds and ideologies. It allows you to feel part of a greater community; a feeling that you quite frankly cannot put a price on.\nWith this university pride comes an alumni network. These networks are used to help people continue to stay connected to their university, while also allowing for professional development and advancement. It isn\u2019t uncommon for graduates in the US to get their first job as a result of connections or information provided by a university\u2019s alumni network. When picking the best school for you, you ought to consider the kind of network that will stand behind your degree and help you get where you want to go.\n3. Public and Private Universities\nThere are two types of universities in the US: public and private. The main differences between the two are the prestige of studying at a private university over a public one, and the cost which obviously is much cheaper at a public university. A year of classes of public tuition costs around $3,500 (around \u00a32,250) whilst some private universities charge well over ten times that. A public university also has a large number of students, which may suit someone who thrives in a social educational environment. Private universities have smaller classes and allow students to forge closer relationships with their tutors.\n4. Scholarships and Funding\nWhen looking at how to pay for a US education, your focus should then turn to scholarships and funding. Not all US universities offer scholarships to international students and government loans can\u2019t always be applied to paying for and tuition and fees. Despite this, increasing fees for university around the world have made the U.S. university system quite competitive comparatively to other countries around Europe. One of the most important things to look at is the OVERALL cost of going to a particular university: specifically tuition and fees, on-campus or off-campus accommodation, cost of living in the location of the university, etc. One of the most confusing traps I have seen international students fall into is being distracted by only looking at tuition fees or the kind of scholarship universities offer. Here is a typical scenario:\nUniversity A is a public research university located in a small city. It costs $40,000 a year to attend, including accommodation and tuition. University B is a private university located centrally in a large city. It costs $100,000 to attend for all accommodation and fees, but it offers a 50% scholarship to all international students.\nAs you can see, even with no scholarships, university A would be a better choice from a funding standpoint.\n5. Liberal Arts Education: Majors, Minors and Credits\nLiberal Arts colleges and universities provide specialised education in the basic disciplines of humanities, plus social and behavioural sciences. They offer a huge range of potential Major subjects, including Political Science, Religion and Sociology. All universities will also allow you to study a Minor subject if you so desire. Some Majors even allow a Minor to take the place of supporting coursework. Each Major and Minor requires a certain level of credits that need to be achieved to qualify for a degree. The definition of a credit can be difficult for someone who has not been born in the U.S. to get their head around. Credits are awarded for the time you spend studying or in class. If you have already attended University in the UK, you should be able to transfer some credits across.\n6. Internships & Undergraduate Research\nInternships and Undergraduate Research programs are where companies sponsor students to go to university in the hope of securing them as employees once their studies have finished. This is an excellent way of securing financial backing for your studies, and some companies will even help with accommodation and transport. It\u2019s not all study though \u2013 some companies will expect you to work for them as well, particularly during breaks.\nWhen choosing a university, the rankings that are produced by several independent institutions are a good place to start, but should be viewed with a grain of salt. These rankings can tell you about certain qualities of schools, but can leave out some vital information such as student satisfaction, engagement, and alumni performance. They can also be biased towards smaller universities that focus on a few key subject areas. Many times students think that the \u2018Ivy League\u2019 schools are the only ones worth considering, when many non-Ivy schools are collectively and in many individual programs more well-regarded. At the end of the day, US universities all over the country are known for something, so make sure to cast a wide net.\n8. The US Student Experience\nThe main difference between being a US student and a UK student is that whilst the UK student is encouraged to be an expert in a single field, a US student is more likely to become successful if they can exhibit a breadth of knowledge. On the social side of things, students in the U.S. are much more likely to spend time together, especially on campus. Many students will live on campus for all four years of their degree. Eating and playing sports together and being members of sororities and fraternities is a big part of university education.\n9. SAT & ACT\nMany times students wonder whether their secondary school program, whether it be an IB diploma, A-Levels, Advanced Placement, etc. allows them to forgo taking their SAT or ACT tests. The answer is almost always NO! Because U.S. schools have students from all over the world applying, it is hard to fairly compare them. After all, a student\u2019s achievements in Canada vs. in Italy may be completely different. This is where the SAT or ACT come in. These standardized tests focus on general knowledge and skills in math, verbal reasoning, writing and science, though each is slightly different. They are usually required for all students as a way for the university to compare students effectively and to predict how they are likely to do in their first years of studying. Few universities waive this requirement, but some do let you postpone taking the exam until after admission.\n10. Cultural Capital & Global Consciousness\nUS universities do their best not to promote cultural capital and to treat all students equally, no matter their social status. However, outside of the lecture halls and classrooms students from poorer backgrounds may find themselves at a disadvantage, and be looked down upon by those more socially fortunate.\nMore information on Florida State\u2019s International Gateway Program can be found at http://www.fsu-gateway-program.co.uk, where they offer some useful tips of their own for any potential students.",

        "raw_content": "A Very Short Trail of Destruction in NoHo\nFriday night, I found myself sitting on a curb in NoHo, just off Burbank Boulevard, watching my boyfriend take photos of a damaged car. The car belonged to a friend of a friend, who was pacing up and down the street on his cell phone, trying to get through to the North Hollywood police to file a report of hit and run car damage. Three of us were there to help while he dealt with his insurance company, the NoHo police, and Triple-A, the hour-and-a-half process that resulted from one drunken jackass careening around the corner. Said jackass had knocked the rear wheel so far out of alignment on the car that it was touching the wheel well, at an undrivable angle.\nWe\u2019d been there for almost an hour when another late twentysomething couple came up to us and asked if we had a damaged car too. We went to look at theirs, a late 70s white Camaro, the sort of muscle car that is a much-loved fashion statement as much as it is a transportation mode. And it had been hit so hard, at just the right spot on its rear left bumper, that the body panels had actually rippled slightly, and the frame was off kilter. We looked at the passenger side door, and it was a half inch out of alignment with the rest of the frame. It\u2019s probably not fixable damage. While a misaligned wheel is certainly a pain to deal with, at least its fixable: this car was probably going to get junked.\nThis was just a case of some random asshat driving too fast \u2013 and/or too drunk \u2013 around the corner, and hitting two cars. The boyfriend and I walked down the street to see if he\u2019d hit any others, or if he himself was in a smoking wreck further down, but didn\u2019t find anything else. Still, he did a lot of damage in what was probably less than five seconds, and was either too self-centered or too loaded to take the responsibility. And now, what was probably a restored and loved car is trashed, and another car owner will spend a week in the maze of repairs and insurance. It\u2019s amazing how much damage can be done in such a short time, to cars that we would think that, when parked, are safe from accidents.\nAnyways, if anyone has any information on a DUI jerk in NoHo on Friday around 11pm, feel free to share it with me. And I suppose the moral of the story is that this guy hit parked cars \u2013 not moving ones with people in them. This could, after all, have been much worse than just car damage.\nCategoriesCrime, Rants\nOne Reply to \u201cA Very Short Trail of Destruction in NoHo\u201d\nHope it\u2019s just a week.

        "raw_content": "Review of ABAP Development for Financial Accounting: Custom Enhancements\nSince the other book hasn\u2019t been published in the US yet (March 28) I figured I could add a few comments about ABAP Financials beyond one line that I have left at sappress.com. In a way, both books are related to each other as they both deal with SAP.\nABAP Financials book, however, is more appropriate for practitioners as it deals with the actual code that is installed in thousands of locations that carry financial and other business data throughout the world. What make this particular book different from many other ABAP books that are available in the market are the author\u2019s comments and opinions on why this or that code snippet is appropriate for a given business problem and what\u2019s most important where it\u2019s hidden and how it fits with the rest of the SAP application.\nThe author is not trying to sell the latest ABAP technologies, but rather help practitioners find their way around the code in one very specific area: FI or Financials. ABAP code on which financials are running has been around a very long time (since 1992 at least) and the author is showing the historical progression of how the code evolved. It\u2019s a refresher for me and I see many familiar objects cast in a larger ABAP context: BKPF and SKB1 tables, and SDF logical database are explained along with DMWTR data element. The underlying objects haven\u2019t really changed since I had the first peek, some 13 years ago.\nI find this particular ABAP code area very applicable to financial reporting, IFRS, and eventually XBRL. This code is the workhorse of the whole SAP application and as the author puts it: the process where the system counts money. It\u2019s simply music to any accounting ears out there. The real value for developers lies in exposing many hooks to the application and walking through enhancement with a focus on each particular area and how it differs from its equivalent, e.g. accounts payable are not the exact mirror image of accounts receivable as far as the user exits are concerned.\nI read about 2-3 SAP books per year and this one hasn\u2019t been sitting on my book shelf for too long. The only complaint I have is that it\u2019s too short, so I have already asked for the second edition.",

They may involve splints or braces, though from an economic viewpoint, the industry involves devices that correct issues a person may have with their angle or foot.\nMany people associate orthotics with shoe inserts that provide more arch supports. Several devices, however, are directly associated with the orthotics industry. Food pads, inlays, insoles, and ankle braces are common products that are manufactured by this industry.\nImportant Orthotics Industry Statistics\n#1. Up to 15% of the North American market could benefit from a custom-fit orthotic product. New custom fitting takes patient evaluation away from pressure plates because 3-D printing can provide a more accurate insole that can be used with current footwear choices. (Ergo Research)\n#2. The total market size of the orthotics industry in the United States averages $1 billion in revenues each year. Another $1.3 billion is generated through retail and mail order foot care product sales. (Ergo Research)\n#3. About half of the 65+ age demographic in North America are listed as occasional sufferers of osteoarthritis. More than 30 million people have been diagnosed with the condition in the United States. (Ergo Research)\n#4. The average cost of orthotics in the United States can range from $10, up to $800, depending on the product. Custom orthotics cost the most in the industry, with an entry-level price of about $300. (American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society)\n#5. The foot care segment of the orthotics industry has seen heavy pressure from overseas manufacturers that can produce items with lower labor costs. In the United States, for the 5-year period ending in 2017, this industry segment contracted by 2.6% annually. (IBIS World)\n#6. The foot care product manufacturing market in the United States has a current estimated value of $644 million. About 130 business are currently active in this industry segment, employment an average of 1,500 people annually. (IBIS World)\n#7. For every $1 that is spent by the orthotics industry on labor, about $0.12 will be invested into a capital expenditure. (IBIS World)\n#8. For the period ending in 2021, the orthotics industry has a global expectation to grow with a CAGR of 6.64%. (Absolute Reports)\n#9. In 2016, Medicare approved more than 3 million orthotic codes for patients that had been treated in the United States. Those treatment approvals resulted in more than $1 billion in Medicare expenditures in 2016. (American Orthotic Prosthetic Association)\n#10. More than 2.11 million prosthetic expenditures, accounting for $717 million in provided services, were also covered by Medicaid for patients seeking foot and ankle care. (American Orthotic Prosthetic Association)\n#11. The risk of someone losing a foot is up to 40 times higher for someone living with diabetes than for someone without the disease. About 80,000 lower limb amputations occur each year, which the orthotics industry may be able to support in some way. (American Orthotic Prosthetic Association)\n#12. There are more than 3,000 patient-care facilities in the United States which provide orthotic services of some type. (American Orthotic Prosthetic Association)\n#13. The patient services which are associated with the orthotic industry may generate up to $4 billion in revenues each year. (American Orthotic Prosthetic Association)\n#14. Timely orthotic care may save up to 23% of the medical costs a patient experiences when compared to the costs that patients encounter when timely services are not provided. (American Orthotic Prosthetic Association)\n#15. About $60 million in government funding by the United States is headed toward research that is related to orthotic needs, with an emphasis on providing services and supports to veterans. (American Orthotic Prosthetic Association)\n#16. There are virtually no regulations in place for the orthotics industry in the United States. Almost any healthcare professional has the ability to sell orthotics to a patient. Professional associations are permitted to only regulate their own members. (The Orthotics Expert)\nOrthotics Industry Trends and Forecast\nOrthotics are medical devices that can help to delay the need for a surgical intervention when foot or ankle problems are diagnosed. They are especially important for children, who may need to wait for their growth plates to close, before having an intervention occur. When designed correctly, they can help with the pain that is associated with a number of different conditions.\nWhat holds this industry back from achieving its full potential is a lack of acceptance by healthcare insurers. If custom orthotics are prescribed, the average family in the U.S. cannot absorb the unexpected costs of the product, which may be up to $800. If there were coverage options available, sales would likely be much stronger.\nConsumers are already spending more than $29.75 billion annually on their footwear. Globally, footwear sales account for $52.17 billion in revenues. The orthotics industry has a forecast CAGR that is double that of the footwear industry.\nPeople want to be comfortable when they are on their feet. There is a demand for orthotics. The structure of the market, however, keeps it from being able to achieve the revenues that are out there waiting.\n19 Medical Supply Industry Statistics, Trends &\u2026",

        "raw_content": "There are various ways for you to increase the size of your breast. Obviously, the easiest solution for females is to undergo breast augmentation procedure. This is way faster since a surgery may only take an hour or two. However, the safety is not always guaranteed. Why? This is due to the fact that implants may be declared safe, but they are not recommended to fill up your breasts for a long period of time. You still need several sessions to maintain the shape provided by the implants. However, if you fail to replace your currently placed implants, you may poison your body detrimentally.\nIf you want a safer option, there is nothing better than trying out food groups, which will effectively promote your breast growth.\nIn order to provide you the simpler and safer way of enhancing your breast, you may then consider these foods:\n1. High Sugar Content Foods\nIt is found out that eating a group of foods with high sugar content may help alter the size of the breasts. However, you need to bear in mind that this system may not be the best for you, especially now that it can cause weight gain.\n2. Estrogenic Foods\nThis can be found in herbs and plants. It is relatively available in its phytoestrogen form as well. It is said that if you will be able to consume sufficient amounts of the element, you will be able to enhance your cup size by one to two cup sizes. Best foods that will give you rich sources of phytoestrogens are tofu, soy yogurt, soybeans, flax seeds, as well as sesame seeds among others. They are rich in natural estrogen and can give maximum effects when eaten in large quantities.\nThis is an herb termed helpful in giving you high estrogen source. It is said that it can even help in promoting high production of milk. It can be added to your sandwiches and salads. Plus, it can be eaten alone.\nThis herb is also helpful in increasing the size of your breast not through providing you estrogen directly. Instead, it promotes the high levels of estrogen in your body. You can buy the berries of saw palmetto in the market and you can take it via vitamin supplements.\nThis herb is found to be helpful in contributing to the water retention, which often causes the breasts to look bigger. It also stimulates the growth of breast cells. This herb can be added like a spice to your meals.\n6. Healthy Fruits and Vegetables\nAside from the above specific groups of foods, it is much better to settle with highly nutritious foods as well. Fruits and vegetables are obvious candidates of your choice since they are helpful in keeping your body healthier as it develops once again. Furthermore, they help tone your developed breasts.\nThe above food groups are the ones you can trust if you want to effectively increase the size of your breasts without risks.",

        "raw_content": "Saint Motel | Live Review\nOne thing that really stood out was that you don\u2019t have to be familiar with their music to enjoy it.\nConsidering they have only released one top forty single here in the UK, there was a surprisingly big turnout for Los Angeles quartet Saint Motel at The Lanes last Saturday. Off the back of their success over in the states, the band released their first UK single \u2018My Type\u2019 earlier this year. Since then, they seem to have taken the Britpop scene by storm.\nJudging by Saturday night\u2019s turnout, they have already managed to pull together a solid fan-base, complete with a couple of super-fans taking front-row spots. The support act, Yes Rebels, got the crowd going before they stepped out onto the stage just gone 10pm.\nThey kicked off their forty-five minute set with \u2018Honest Feedback\u2019, and continued with a few tracks from their 2012 debut album \u2018Voyeur\u2019. A particular crowd pleaser was \u2018Cold Cold Man\u2019 which they released as an EP earlier this year. They then continued with a mix of tracks from their album and their 2014 EP including the well-known \u2018My Type\u2019 which got everybody jumping before finishing up with \u2018Stories\u2019, the penultimate track from their debut album.\nOne thing that really stood out was that you don\u2019t have to be familiar with their music to enjoy it. It has a timeless feel, and uplifting toe tapping rhythms that are genuinely moreish. As the band left the stage, the crowd adorned a few mouth trumpets to the tune of \u2018My Type\u2019. But to be fair, they don\u2019t really have enough material yet to warrant an encore.\nAfter the show, lead singer AJ Jackson was outside mingling around. This was his first time visiting Bristol and he said: \u201cIt\u2019s fantastic with a capital F\u2026 It seems like everyone has a lot of fun in this city\u2026\u201d They were catching a morning flight to Paris to continue their tour so weren\u2019t able to stick around and enjoy the sights, but he assured me they definitely had plans to return. Drummer Greg Erwin then joined us when we were talking about their trip to the UK, and said the first thing they did when they arrived here was go and get a roast dinner \u2013 with an extra side of Yorkshire puddings! They were both such friendly guys and you could feel their genuine excitement for what the future has in store. And they\u2019re not the only ones \u2013 I can\u2019t wait to see what more this band has got to offer.\nCheck out \u2018My Type\u2019 right here:",

        "title": "Baseball Toaster: Bronx Banter : Lasting Yankee Stadium Memory #45",
        "raw_content": "I used to make it a point to attend doubleheaders. I loved free baseball and a whole day at the ballpark. I cherish the Tuesday, August 13, 1991 doubleheader against the Kansas City Royals, which I attended with several close friends and my future wife, but not because of anything that happened on the field. It's more of a gustatory thing. On the way to the game, my pals stopped off at the last rest stop before the GWB and bought a couple of huge buckets of fried chicken. Nothing wrong with that, I suppose\u2014were any 20-year-olds thinking about their cholesterol in 1991?\u2014but it was a long day's journey into night at the Stadium. After noshing on chicken parts throughout the first three innings of game one, my friends placed the buckets beneath our seats seemingly forgot about them\u2014until about the seventh inning of game two. That's when my friends, hungry again, remembered them. The chicken was probably about seven hours old now, and had been marinating in the Bronx air for most of that time. On the ground. My pals fell on them anyway, while Stefanie and I looked on, repulsed and amazed. After the game, we took the long ride down to Chinatown where we stopped for chow fun at a favorite restaurant since closed by the Board of Health for excessive kindness to cockroaches. Oh yeah: the Yankees lost both ends of the double-header. Kevin Appier pitched a three-hit shutout in the first game. Mike Boddicker held them to one run in the nightcap.\nAll this, though, is prologue to my most lasting memory, a very personal one. I have a close friend, call him Jake, who is like a brother to me. That's a clich\u00e9, I know, especially these days, when your every male friend is a \"bro,\" but I mean it\u2014there's a real familial feeling between us that transcends mere friendship. When we were kids, we bonded over our mutual love of the game. His dream was always to work in the Yankees' front office. Mine was to write, though not necessarily about baseball. After many years of hard work and perseverance, he got what he wanted and became a Yankees executive. I got what I wanted too, and in fact I owe the very fact that you're reading about this to him. I was in my 20s, writing pretty much anything I could\u2014the odd short story, movie reviews, screenplays, a novel, the bare bones of what would become a biography of Casey Stengel, internet greeting cards, sitcom pitches for a guy who thought that on-line comedy was the wave of the future (he was roughly 15 years ahead of the times, alas), when Jake took an early version of the Stengel book and put it in front of people in the industry who could help me get more work writing about baseball. There began the long road that led to Forging Genius, the Pinstriped Bible, Baseball Prospectus, and the tiny patch of notoriety that I now enjoy. I owe Jake everything.\nI would have loved, would still love, to pay him back in kind, but there was little I could do to help Jake out with the central dilemma of his career, which was that working for the Yankees proved to be a nightmare. He had a dictatorial and unsympathetic boss (George Steinbrenner was just a profane, disembodied voice on the phone from Tampa and not at all a part of the daily life of the team), and a fluctuating job description that really didn't engage him emotionally or intellectually and had little to do with his credentials. He had many experiences there that were patently surreal, reaching a level of absurdity that when people would ask me if the depiction of life with the Yankees on \"Seinfeld\" was accurate, I'd say, in complete seriousness, \"No. Too tame.\"\nJake spent many days feeling emotionally isolated, both because of the constant abuse from his boss and the constant turnover in almost every department. Though Jake bonded easily with coworkers, he never knew who would be there from one day to the next. With low pay, long hours, a demoralized work force, and a \"gotcha\" approach on the part of senior management, even upper-level, long term employees were constantly being fired or resigning. And then there was the physical location of his office. You have to imagine Jake, isolated on the Mechanical Level of the Stadium, a desolate, windowless, undecorated place of exposed wiring and dangling insulation, busted seats, and old vending carts. That's where the Yankees have about half their offices in the current Stadium\u2014the old ballpark wasn't built to house the full Yankees operation, but when Steinbrenner bought the club he closed their midtown offices and brought all the executives to the Bronx, whether there was room for them or not. Jake sat there, day after day, often more than 16 hours a day\u2014his boss had decreed that though he had no responsibilities relating to stadium operations, Jake had to be at work both during regular business hours and all home games\u2014miserable. He wanted to leave, desperately wanted to leave, but how do you quit on your dream?\nIt was towards the end of Jake's time with the Yankees that I made one of many visits, probably to do some research for an article for Yankees Magazine. After I had done my work in the unlit, unventilated room that then held the Yankees media archive, I repaired to Jake's office. Somewhere below us, a ballgame was going on. We could hear it but not see it. He was, as usual at this time, inconsolably depressed. I don't remember what we talked about after he pointed out that I was now covered in sweat, dust, and cobwebs and desperately needed a new shirt, but I'm certain it involved his career prospects. The mood grew darker. He stood up abruptly, a mischievous gleam in his eyes that hadn't been there the moment before. \"Come with me. There's something I've been wanting to show you.\"\nI followed him down the long, narrow corridor that makes up the office portion of the Mechanical Level to a locked door. He opened it. We stepped into a cavernous area, dimly lit by widely spaced safety lights. I could not perceive the ceiling\u2014the space extended upwards into dark infinity. There was a wall hard to my right and another wall that began far to my left, then sloped sharply towards us, rising up into the darkness. The floor too had vanished, replaced by a fire-engine red metal catwalk that bounced unnervingly when we walked on it. The Stadium crowd was incredibly loud here, as if we were among them, and it quickly dawned on me that they were both below and above us\u2014we were inside the upper deck.\nWe moved down the catwalk. I could see that we were just a foot or so above the drop ceiling above the loge boxes. The tiles, weighed down with sandbags, were imperfectly placed, and you could see thin lines of light from below, and even make out the shifting masses of people. A Yankee made a hit. The noise level rose. The catwalk seemed to sway in response to the crowd. I started to get very nervous\u2014if this thing gave way we would be landing in their laps\u2014at best. \"Let's go,\" I urged Jake, but he was still bouncing down the catwalk.\n\"After that beam fell, they gutted out this whole area and put these things in. I don't think anyone has been back here except the engineers. They're pretty sure it will all hold together.\"\n\"Pretty sure?\" I gulped. \"That makes me feel so much better. Let's go.\"\n\"What are you worried about?\" At intervals, the pathway sprouted additional catwalks, perpendicular to the main trunk. These extended all the way to the far wall. Now, Jake walked out on one of these. I winced, watching him make what seemed like a tightrope walk out over the crowd.\n\"It just doesn't seem that stable to me.\"\nDespite being on a catwalk, Jake was no cat, not in agility or weight, and though he had been in a somber mood for months or years at this point, he was suddenly giddy, even manic. \"It's fine!\" he shouted. \"Look!\" He began hopping, springing off the catwalk like it was a mattress. \"Come on!\"\nI have since discussed these events with Jake, and he insists that he was completely in his right mind at this moment and that he was simply trying to give me a look at a part of the Stadium that the public never sees. Perhaps, but at the time this is what I thought: \"My god, he's finally lost it. He can't bring himself to quit, so he's trying to kill himself\u2026 or get fired for breaking the Stadium.\" Another Yankee made a hit. The catwalk went left and right. Jake, still hopping, went up and down. My stomach was trying to follow them both. I made a decision: time to go. I turned on my heels and made a beeline for the door. \"Hey!\" Jake shouted, but I could hear him rattling up the catwalk behind me. We made it through the door. Safe. No headlines about fat men falling through the ceilings.\nI don't remember much else about that night, don't know if the Yankees lost or won. I just remember a feeling of dread for Jake. I was both right and wrong, right in that it would have been better for him to have left sooner than he did, more than a couple of seasons later, wrong to feel dread; he bounced back just fine, though I know he has some resentments about the experience that can never be unmade.\nSince then, in my professional capacity, I've had some great experiences at the Stadium. I've had one-on-one moments with greats of the game in the dugouts and the clubhouses, and I especially cherish those conversations that proved to be last chances, like those with Enos Slaughter, Hank Bauer, Bobby Murcer, and others. In giving me those memories the Stadium has more than made up for the car that got lifted or the numerous losses pitched by Jeff Johnson, Tim Leary, Greg Cadaret, and Bob Shirley that I paid to witness. Yet, for all of that, when I think of the Stadium after it's gone, it will be of my friend, tie flapping as he jumped on a secret catwalk, trying to leap clear of the one thing he had always wanted and had had the misfortune to get.\nSteven Goldman writes the Pinstriped Bible column for YES, is a contributing editor at Baseball Prospectus, where he writes about baseball history, and blogs about politics at Wholesome Reading.\nsteven goldman at the banter - what a treat, i love it! : )\nWOW. Awesome story, awesome writing. Thank you.\nThat's a great story, Steven. I feel for your friend and I hope he's doing better now.\nIncidentally, I think that horn-hating security guard still works at the Stadium. He doesn't like horns or fun and he has a firm belief that everyone who comes to a ballgame should be quiet, afraid and miserable. Mission Accomplished.\n\"Thus I have experienced Stadium-based mortification both as a very young child and as an adult. It only remains for me to reap some kind of extreme embarrassment in old age; perhaps I'll soil myself while interviewing Derek Jeter, Jr. at Stadium II.\"\nI know its true and NOT funny at the time but jeez, what a GREAT line.\nSteve, if you are not already, you will be the best writer-about-baseball on the planet. I'm so glad that we/the Yankees have you.\nP.S. It's about time someone started the discussion:\nhttp://tinyurl.com/6ppcpg\nWhat I'd give to see a picture of that part of the Stadium - catwalks inside the upper deck. Thanks for the awesome memory, Steven. I'm glad your friend made it out OK - from the catwalks, and the job.\n4 Here, here! Sounds like we owe Jake a debt of gratitude as well.\n5 Save that for tomorrow's game thread, when you'll have fresh examples to support the obvious argument.\nMeanwhile, a great piece from Steve here, as expected. Evocative and unique, which is this series at its best.\nI went to my second and final Stadium tour today. Other than that damn Matsui showing up and preventing us from going to the clubhouse, it was awesome.\nWith Alex, Cliff and Steve, the Yankees, and of course the Banter, have the most intelligent writing around. After a season of Joe, Mac, Morgan and Miller killing brain cells, it's so nice to come here and get a transfusion.\nI haven't been to the stadium in 2 decades and never sat in the upper deck. Too damn steep for this coward. The new stadium has the upper deck pushed back MUCH further from the field. Everyone here seems to think the 'old' upper deck was great seating, yet the new upper deck is nothing like it.\nIs there some logic to the new design? Seems like they are hurting one of the better features of the old Stadium.\n10 Supposedly it will improve sightlines down the lines. If you sit in the wings, you miss large parts of the field.\n10 I think it's also just easier to build that way. The old upper deck hung over the field the way it did because it was supported by beams. When they remodeled, they got rid of the beams and used a sort of suspension-bridge technology involving huge metal ropes buried deep into the ground to hold the upper deck up while it hung so far out. I'm assuming they weren't up for doing that again.\nI can't tell if anyone has noticed this, but at Was Watching; it's been reported that one Bill Livesey is returning to the Yanks as a pro scout. This being the same guy who as VP of Scouting and Development drafted some skinny kid named Jeter a while back.\nhttp://tinyurl.com/5959a7\nThis does go back to something I've been saying about where you invest your money. Lupica and others have of course gone the easy route in predicting that Hank will outspend everyone else in the free agent market (and at the same time disingenuously covering the options in his usual damned-if-ya-do-damed-if-ya-don't manner), but not one of the beat writers or columnists have suggested spending some of that well-earned money on upgrading the executive side of the team.\nYou have Cash and Stick as the only people in the front office with an ounce of baseball sense, or so many would have it. Wouldn't it make sense for the Yankees to woo some of those execs with strong credentials and a good track record to the Tampa or New York offices, especially considering that the main reason so many good execs left in the first place is not even a factor now? You have the money, why not spend it on the organization as a whole and rejuvenate it with fresh minds with a good track record?\nUnless someone knows otherwise, I think this is an indication that the team is starting to think like people who are not angling for or drunk with power again... maybe they can find an special adviser position for Pat Gillick (similar to Zim's job with the Rays) that supports what Stick may already being doing... just a thought.\n14. Repoz\nWonderful story, Steve.\nIt sorta reminds me of an old Soupy Sales bit where the Soupster (as Philo Kvetch: Private Eye) chases his arch-enemy, The Mask througout the bowels of Yankee Stadium.\nGreat empty Yankee Stadium footage!\nThankfully, Onions Oregano was on hand to breath life into Soupy!\n14 Soupy was a sexy guy who loved baseball. Remember his story about taking his girl to a game? He would kiss her between the strikes, and she would kiss him between the balls?",

        "title": "A Collection of Cousins | Byrhtnoth",
        "raw_content": "A Collection of Cousins\nJuly 11, 2017 by Christine\tin Writing and tagged funeral, relatives\nApologies for the delay in this week\u2019s post, but I had to go to a funeral.\nAt least it gave me a subject to write about, not about the funeral as such, but some insights into families.\nI also had plenty of time to think. It was a long journey, about 180 miles each way, including part of the M25. It took over four hours and we were one minute late, creeping in during the first verse of \u201cAll Things Bright and Beautiful\u201d. Others were later! Then it was back to the house to chat with relatives who we only manage to meet up with at funerals (and weddings \u2013 except no-one seems to bother getting married these days!)\nMy father was one of a family of five, three boys and two girls. Only one is still with us; the funeral was for another. It is now up to the next generation, the cousins, to keep the different branches of the family in touch, we send Christmas cards, and Facebook is bringing us closer.\nThis is a photograph, taken yesterday.\nIgnoring the man, here are four women. Each is a daughter of one of those five brothers and sisters; the fifth sibling produced only boys \u2013 none was there for the funeral, probably coincidence, or do the women in a family make more of an effort?\nWe are a variety of sizes and shapes. Is there any resemblance between us? Possibly, but we each had another parent to dilute the family genes. We all married (some more than once), we all have children and some have grandchildren. We all get on, despite not meeting very often, or perhaps because of that. Are we any different from a random group of friends, or total strangers?\nSomeone (Harper Lee, I think) said \u201cYou can choose your friends but you can\u2019t choose your family,\u201d Bearing in mind the distance between us \u2013 we all live in the southern part of England, but as I found yesterday, too distant to pop in for a cup of tea \u2013 if we were friends we would have to make an effort to meet up. As it is we have to rely on the odd funeral to get together.\nBut they are still there, somewhere in the background, our family.\nWhat is this to do with writing? A little while ago I wrote about mothers, how all characters must have had a mother. She must have had some influence, good or bad, that made them who they were. Cousins are different. They probably don\u2019t have influence on you, but they are there, lurking in the background.\nSeveral of my characters are orphans. My protagonist has no family; the book, the whole series, is about his feeling of loss, about his search for a family. Will he find them or will his friends become his family? Does he have cousins? It is something I will have to think about.\nCousins in novels are usually a device; the cousin in Australia who leaves a character a fortune that changes his life, the mysterious cousin murdering relatives because of some ancient feud.\nIn history, especially in a ruling family, cousins can be a problem (The Wars of the Roses has become known as \u201cThe Cousin\u2019s War\u201d.) or the means of continuing the dynasty, hopefully without bloodshed (James I after Elizabeth, those Germans after the Stuarts). In the Anglo-Saxon period, there was no rule that son followed father to the throne, the best person could be chosen from the \u201croyal\u201d family, barring Viking invasions. Did it cause problems between cousins?\nBut history is usually about male cousins. What about the women? They would be married off, sent to form a link with another country. Often we don\u2019t even know her name. In more ordinary families, they would disappear, appear only as \u201cwife of\u201d. They would have children, boys would recognise their male cousins \u2013 they shared a name after all \u2013 but what about the girls? Did they become submerged in their \u201cnew\u201d family or did they keep in touch? Did they meet at funerals, or communicate via whatever was the historical equivalent of the annual Christmas Card?\nThey are the invisible glue that keep families together.\nAnd I did manage some editing last week, despite funerals, and Wimbledon. 11,884 edited, 890 lost. Think that is an improvement!\n\u2190 Editing, interrupted\nReview \u2013 King Hereafter \u2192",

        "raw_content": "China\u2019s automobile industry has grown considerably over the past two decades. Massive foreign investment and an increased scale and concentration of work spurred the creation of a new generation of autoworkers with increased bargaining power. At the same time, China entered the global competition in mass-producing automobiles at a stage when the level of that competition was very high and profit margins were very thin. The state, as a consequence, has restructured the industry and increased competition since the late 1990s, and this has forced Chinese automakers to move toward a \u201cleaner & meaner work regime,\u201d according to Lu Zhang\u2019s new book. The result for autoworkers has been an increased intensity of work, reduced job security, stagnant wages, a lack of opportunities to advance, and an inferior status in a very hierarchical factory social order. Inside China\u2019s Automobile Factories: The Politics of Labor and Worker Resistance (Cambridge University Press, 2015) explores one important consequence of this transformation, the emergence of \u201clabor force dualism\u201d (a divide between formal and temporary workers) as a central component of labor relations in the Chinese auto industry. We had a chance to talk about it for the New Books in East Asian Studies podcast, and you can listen to our conversation about it by heading over here.\nTagged as: 20th century, Anthropology, China, History, History of China, Labor History, Modern, NBEAS, New Books Network",

        "raw_content": "Everyone has their reasons for coming to Krav, this is my story.\nI had a pretty messed up childhood, things were wrong in my family from early on. By 11 I was regularly missing school, lying in bed for days at a time, not eating and refusing to see anyone or do anything. My parents, teachers and doctors didn\u2019t know what to do with me. So they gave me anti depressants and hoped for the best \u2013 these days it\u2019s not so unusual, but back then it wasn\u2019t managed well. By the time I was 14 I\u2019d dropped out of school completely, having missed most of the previous two years. Family difficulties continued throughout my teens, in my 20s my father went away, things eventually changed and I had some better times.\nI finally met a wonderful man and settled down, we got married and had two amazing children.\nAs a young child I\u2019d been happy and bubbly and lively; as a teenager I was numb and living in a bubble; as an adult I had become neurotic, anxious, scared of everything. It\u2019s hard to stop worrying that something bad is about to happen when so much already has. Crowded places were difficult to be in, loud noises and bright lights made me tense and unable to think straight. I couldn\u2019t stand to be around arguments, raised voices or even being driven fast in a car. My confidence was at an all time low and post natal depression didn\u2019t help matters.\nThen I found Krav Maga. The short reason I give when people ask me why I took it up, is that after being tied to young babies for years I wanted to do something for myself. I thought about going swimming in the evenings once my husband was home from work, but I didn\u2019t like the idea of having to park in the dark leisure centre car park at night. And I remember thinking that was ridiculous and that I needed to do something to feel safer, so I looked up martial arts and came across Krav. I read that it was more effective than most martial arts, more useful in real life. So that\u2019s what I chose. I knew before I went to my first class that it would be the perfect fit for me, and it was.\nAbove all, I wanted to do something that made a difference. I didn\u2019t want to be scared anymore. I wanted to be stronger, physically and mentally.\nKrav made me feel in control for the first time in a long while. It gave me a space to just be me \u2013 not a wife, not a mother, not someone\u2019s daughter, just me. Every week I felt my confidence growing. Over time I realised I was enjoying different things \u2013 I could enjoy being out in a crowded place listening to loud music without my anxiety levels going through the roof! Somehow, learning to control my own aggression, finding a place and a way to express difficult feelings by hitting and kicking the shit out of people was making me a happier, healthier and saner person.\nIt\u2019s not always been easy. I\u2019ve lost count of the number of times I\u2019ve been finding things difficult and just wanted to put the kids to bed and curl up in a ball and pretend the outside world didn\u2019t exist, but instead I put on my fighting trousers and went to Krav. Ongoing health difficulties have caused problems too \u2013 at one point my physio told me I should give up Krav. I told her I couldn\u2019t. So we worked hard to find a way to manage my dodgy joints and in the end she was happy for me to carry on. I still get days when I\u2019m in a lot of pain, but now I know how to adjust what I\u2019m doing so I don\u2019t (usually) make things worse. Finances have been stretched to breaking point while I haven\u2019t been working, but my husband and I know just how important Krav is so we\u2019ve always made it work somehow. And now I\u2019m back in work, thanks to Krav and my increased confidence and ability to take a risk and try something new. Juggling work and kids and marriage and injuries and the demons in my head to get there every week, to put in the extra hours and effort for gradings can be exhausting, but it\u2019s more worth it than I can express in words.\nSo here I am three years on, and I can\u2019t imagine what life would be like without Krav now.\nWhat does Krav Maga mean to me?\nAnd it also means a lot of fun, some great friends and a huge sense of pride and achievement.\nI\u2019m proud of how hard I\u2019ve worked and how far I\u2019ve come.",

        "raw_content": "Leasing the right office is the ultimate goal for every business. With that search for the perfect space in which to set up shop, though, comes numerous financial decisions: from determining how much rent you can afford to saving for office all of the furniture and supplies you\u2019ll need to help your staff be efficient and comfortable in their day-to-day. Before you decide which commercial real estate to lease, consider these three strategies for saving money in the long run.\nDon\u2019t go overboard with your overhead: You may want that 5,000-square-foot office for lease in the heart of your market, but if you\u2019re a small or mid-sized business with few employees and no physical merchandise to house, you\u2019ll want set your sights on a unit that\u2019s more fitting for your company size. Over time, you may require a larger headquarters for your business. For the here and now, though, focus on finding a base for your company that fits the needs of your existing workforce and provides some additional space for potential future hires.\nSelect a reputable-but-affordable ISP: No matter what line of work you\u2019re in, the internet is likely an important part of running your business effectively. Before signing on the dotted line for your dream office space, make sure you have access to an internet service provider (ISP) that offers a fast, reliable connection. Look for business reviews online to compare and contrast ISPs, and narrow down your choices to those who offer the best deals and strong customer support that can help you if you encounter any issues. Remember, not all major ISPs offer services in every market, so it\u2019s essential to take stock of what\u2019s available before committing to a space.\nChoose an energy-efficient/LEED-certified space: Commercial buildings with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certifications offer substantial energy savings for their tenants in a variety of ways. Buildings with low-flow toilets, for instance, generate big savings for property owners and lessees. If you do select an LEED-certified office space to rent, make sure those energy-efficient systems offer enough financial savings in the long run to merit your lease. Crunching the numbers with those who run your business\u2019s finances will help you determine if the long-term savings are enough to offset potentially high rental rates.",

        "raw_content": "When you are heartbroken, hurting, and vulnerable, sometimes an empowering thought can lift you out of the doldrums, bring a smile to your face, and even give your attitude a do-over. After losing my two oldest children, 21 year old Denis and 19 year old Peggy in the same car accident, I read everything I could get my hands on that would tell me how to survive. I was open to all suggestions and ready to try anything that would ease my pain. I started collecting phrases, thoughts, witty sayings, any words that spoke to my heart and pointed me in the right direction. Some were serious and others had a touch of humor. I copied them from books, cut them out from magazines and newspapers, memorized some, hung others on the refrigerator, framed a few, made favorites into bookmarks, gave some away as gifts, shared them with my husband Joe and surviving daughter Annie, so grateful to discover a way to lift my spirits and give my attitude a face-lift. Maybe some of these challenging thoughts can help you.\nThrow your heart over the fence and the rest will follow. (Ralph Waldo Emerson)\nAttitude is a little thing that makes a big difference. Don\u2019t let someone else choose it for you. Be in charge. Be open to trying a positive approach to grief. Refocus. Instead of dwelling on the loss, concentrate on what you will do with what you have left. Joe, Annie and I pooled our strength and became a formidable team creating our \u201cNew Normal\u201d together. Our new beginnings brought some unexpected gifts in the form of new friends, new purpose, rearranged priorities, and using latent talents. Joe and I founded a TCF chapter for bereaved parents, and the rest is history. Twenty-six years later we are still Chapter Leaders, and have weathered our grief through what I call the \u201cboomerang blessings\u201d of reaching out to hundreds of others over the years.\nThings don\u2019t go wrong and break your heart so you can become bitter and give up. They happen to break you down and build you up so you can be all you were intended to be. (Viktor Frankl)\nThis article originally appeared in Volume 11, Issue 4.\nAfter all Viktor Frankl suffered and endured in the Holocaust, he was asked what kept him going and he replied, \u201cTo tell the world.\u201d I thought to myself, that\u2019s a great motive as I deal with all this pain \u2013 tell the world about my children and how much I love them. That got me out of bed in the morning and filled me with a burning passion to write and speak about surviving. I lovingly call it \u201csharing Peggy and Denis with the world.\u201d You will find your niche too, without warning, falling gently into God\u2019s Plan as I did, and someday He\u2019ll explain it to all of us.\nGratitude is an appreciation of your life right now, versus where you want it. (Dr. Robert Emmons)\nThis one you have to practice to make it become part of you. Dr. Emmons reminds us that people who write down things they are grateful for every day have stronger immune systems, more happiness and less reactions to negative events. Rather than affirming what\u2019s lacking, we bless all we have and use it wisely. A few years after my children died, I retired from a 35 year career teaching young children, but now I am using those teaching gifts, energy and passion for a new audience \u2013 the bereaved, which has filled a big void in my life. So, get busy. This is the time for you to buy a little notebook or one of those pretty journals that are so popular these days, to start keeping track of your daily blessings. Nothing is too small to count, a lady bug, a daisy, a dog\u2019s eager welcome, a phone call \u2013 something that you can really appreciate today. Our local newspaper called me the \u201cVoice of the Bereaved\u201d and that made my day. Little things count.\nLife is a shipwreck but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboats. (Voltaire)\nHey, we can have bad days, but we can always find some little thing that is a positive \u2013 it could be just finding that missing sock, balancing the checkbook, traffic moving in our favor or maybe finding that impossible parking space. Oscar Wilde wisely reminds us, \u201cIf you don\u2019t get everything you want, think of the things you don\u2019t get that you don\u2019t want.\u201d I have lost my Peggy and Denis, but I am so truly grateful for the years I had with them. \u201cIf their song is to continue, then we must do the singing,\u201d is the mantra of our TCF Chapter. Right out of the lifeboats, we are loud!\nThe pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees opportunity in every difficulty. (Joshua J. Marine)\nI can\u2019t imagine being a pessimist! Sunshine and music always energize me, as does being surrounded with loving people. I have discovered that the person who sends out positive thoughts activates the world around him positively and certainly enjoys the positive results that come back to him. You might have a different motivation since we all grieve differently. As Reader\u2019s Digest observed, \u201cA positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.\u201d Take your pick.\nIt is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change. (Bill Gates)\nBeing flexible, open to change, is a great start when we are grieving. Testing new routines, creating our \u201cNew Normal,\u201d trying new activities, seeking a spiritual connection, dealing with daily challenges, making decisions, finding what works for us \u2013 are all ways to not get stuck in a rut on our grief journey. Coping and surviving is serious work, but sometimes a light-hearted prayer can help: \u201cThank you, God, for standing by me so far this day. With your help, I haven\u2019t been impatient, grumpy, judgmental, or lost my temper. But \u2026. I\u2019ll be getting out of bed soon, and I\u2019ll really be needing your help even more.\u201d\nEvery thought is a seed. If you plant crab apples, don\u2019t count on harvesting Golden Delicious. (Bill Meyer)\nIf each morning I tell myself, \u201cI will never see my children again,\u201d my stomach does flip-flops and I feel devastated. But if each morning I say, \u201cI am one day closer to seeing Peggy and Denis,\u201d my face lights up and my heart sings.\u201d Dorothy Day advised, \u201cPlant seeds that will flower as results in our lives, so best to remove the weeds of anger, avarice, envy and doubt, that peace and abundance many manifest for all.\u201d Choose your favorites carefully and start gardening!\nHappiness is an attitude. We either make ourselves miserable, or happy and strong. The amount of work is the same. (Francesca Reigler)\nAttitudes are contagious. Are yours worth catching? Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, do you always bring your own sunshine? Your thoughts can make a big difference according to Roald Dahl, \u201cIf a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on their face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until it gets so ugly you can hardly bear to look at it. A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.\u201d That one thought could really be a mood changer! So, never miss a sunset or a rainbow because you are looking down!\nWhenever anyone has offended me, I try to raise my soul so high that the offense cannot reach it. (Rene Descartes)\nSome comments that are offered to comfort us, can actually sting and do the opposite. We don\u2019t need to hear that God needed another angel, or that we have four other children, or that God gives us only as much as we can bear. Insensitive comments are the number one complaint of the bereaved. During Holy Week services, I heard the perfect words to make a prayer for this problem. At our next support group meeting, I shared my prayer, telling the group that when someone made a hurtful comment to them, simply say this prayer to themselves and they would feel much better: \u201cFather, forgive them, for they know not what they do. Assholes, Amen.\u201d You see, forgiveness has nothing to do with absolving the person from the words. It has everything to do with relieving oneself of the burden of being a victim \u2013 letting go of the pain and transforming oneself from victim to survivor. It is the most memorized line of any program I present.\nEverything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms \u2013 to choose one\u2019s own attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one\u2019s own way. (Viktor Frankl)\nHow lucky we are to have freedom of choice! People say to me, \u201cYou\u2019ve had so much courage,\u201d but it\u2019s not courage, it\u2019s the power to choose.\u201d As Paul Duhn reminds us, \u201cYour own mind is a sacred enclosure into which nothing harmful can enter except by your permission.\u201d We can control how we do our grief work and our attitude toward our healing. I make sure my children\u2019s spirit and lives live on through my memories, ensuring I did not lose all of them. Their life force and wonderful spirit still shine in our lives. Even though they died over 25 years ago, they still make a difference in the world. That\u2019s the power of positive thinking. Look for the silver lining and make \u201cExcelsior\u201d (ever upward) your motto!!",

I am excited to announce that Paula Willard will begin as parish secretary in early May. I look forward to her starting, and I know that she will bring a number of gifts to the position. As you know, the parish secretary position at Saint Timothy\u2019s involves many different jobs and responsibilities from the basics of answering phone calls to doing much of the financial administration for the parish operations. I\u2019m grateful to have someone of Paula\u2019s skillset and personality to handle the many tasks and demands of the position. Many of you will know Paula already as an active parishioner, someone who works in the school, helps in the church, and serves in the community. She is highly organized, professional, has a strong attention to detail, good communication skills, and much more. Please join me in welcoming Paula to our parish staff. I also want to thank the many people who applied for the position. It was a difficult decision because of the many great candidates, and I\u2019m grateful for their interest in the position.\nPlease join me in welcoming Paula to our parish staff.\nI also want to thank Karrie Weber for helping to fill in for Tonya during the interim. She has been a great help to the parish and to me, allowing us to continue our operations smoothly until we could find someone to take Tonya\u2019s position. I\u2019m grateful that she was willing to help in this way and do it so well. Finally, I want to thank Tonya once again for all of her many years of service here at Saint Timothy\u2019s and for her help during the transition as well. Thank you.\nGod bless the rest of your week ahead.",

        "raw_content": "Oklahoma State\u2019s Littlehead arrested for being drunk in public\nBy John TaylorMay 22, 2012, 10:04 AM EST\nFor the second time in five months, Oklahoma State defensive tackle Christian Littlehead has an off-field legal issue with which to deal.\nAccording to Tulsa World, the defensive lineman was one of five people arrested very early Saturday morning on a complaint of public intoxication. Citing a police report, the paper writes that \u201cofficers were called to a Tahlequah [Okla.] apartment complex about 4:30 a.m. on a noise complaint. They found several people drinking in the parking lot and being loud.\u201d\nLittlehead was allegedly one of the several drinking and/or being loud, leading to his arrest.\nThe football program is aware of the situation but has no comment.\nLittlehead played in all 12 regular season games last year as a redshirt freshman, starting four of those contests. He likely would\u2019ve at least played in the Cowboys\u2019 bowl game as well, but was arrested in early December on one count of possession of drug paraphernalia.\nHead coach Mike Gundy subsequently suspended Littlehead for the Fiesta Bowl matchup with Stanford.",

Ever since, the Hokies have been looking to add a 12th game to its schedule to no avail\u2026 until now.\nCiting multiple sources with knowledge of the situation, the Richmond Times-Dispatch is reporting that Tech has reached an agreement with Marshall to play a game Dec. 1. Marshall also lost its Week 3 game against South Carolina due to the hurricane and was in need of a 12th game as well.\nThe agreement, which is expected to be officially announced in the next day or two, between the ACC and Conference USA comes with a catch as it will only be played if the Hokies need a win to reach bowl eligibility, the Times-Dispatch reported.\nAs is stands now, Tech is 4-5 with two games remaining \u2014 home against Miami today (VT trails 17-14 at halftime as of this posting), home against rival Virginia next Saturday. If they split those two games, the Marshall game will be played per the new agreement; if they win both or lose both, there won\u2019t be a game that first Saturday in December.\nTech has played in 25 straight bowl games, the second-longest current streak behind only Florida State\u2019s 36 in a row. The 4-6 Seminoles need to beat both No. 20 Boston College today and No. 13 Florida next weekend to keep their streak alive.\nAt 6-3, Marshall is already bowl-eligible.",

        "raw_content": "The Downfall of a millennium?\nIn 2003 I witnessed the rise and fall of another American youth activist. Scott Beale, a not-radical from the DC Beltway, caming roaring across the spectrum with the cry of youth activism. He wasn\u2019t focused on social justice or even critical thinking; rather, he was from the romantic \u201cyouth can do anything because they should be able to do anything they want to\u201d camp. Late in the year he released a book called \u201cMilennial Politics,\u201d and invited me to respond to its printing.\nI am not a kind reader.\nRather, I am a critical reader. I devour books like some people eat steak: While ingesting their words, I look for blood to coming dripping out in the context and content of the text. That\u2019s why I appreciate authors like Henry Giroux and Jose Saramago: left to my own imagination and their writing, I would never go hungry. Alas, when I am asked to read a book I do not spar my appetite. Instead, I want to whet it, quench it, and squash my thought-starved mind.\nSo, I read Scott\u2019s book. Today I came across the email I shared with him, and here I will share it with you. As you read this, please remember I was 3 years less experienced than I am now; however, I find the intention of the email still rings true in my ears. Following is my response to Scott Beale\u2019s \u201cMillineal Politics.\u201d\nHey Scott, I\u2019ve got to come clean with you. I am let down by your book for several reasons, and I want to explain them. I hope you bear with me and read through this email.\nI started down the \u201cactivist trail\u201d when I was 16 and decided to start a guerilla environmental justice group in my neighborhood. After a bunch of failure I got ahold of an old 60\u2019s youth activism book, full of essays and manifestos. I read it and felt alienated: seperated from the language of radicalism by my growing up a white kid in a black neighborhood, and repelled by the money these people threw at their causes, printing flyers and hosting speakers and just\u2026 resources everywhere. That pushed me away.\nLater on, as a youth worker, I got ahold of Wendy Lesko\u2019s 26% book. It was okay, but when I tried to share it with the young people I was working with, they were like \u201cyeah, right\u201d. That didn\u2019t fly. I read Craig Kielburger\u2019s \u201cFree the Children,\u201d and the sense of noblese oblige and 1st world righteousness really didn\u2019t work for me. Then I did my AmeriCorps time, and read Bartlett\u2019s \u201cThe Future is Ours,\u201d which made me disown my own \u2018activist\u2019 title for a minute. After I got tied up in the national scene through Points of Light, I got all the youth involvement curricula and programs, and my head almost exploded. I tried dozens of trainings and ideas\u2026 I loved the CoMotion Manual, and Youth On Board\u2019s material. Then I started Freechild.\nIn 2001 & 02, Linda Wolfe\u2019s \u201cGlobal Uprising\u201d came out, and I was charged. Psyched. Partially because her book would\u2019ve pissed me off before, and now I was excited about it. But also because I saw something else, something in between there and where I wanted to be. Oh, and Billy Wimsatt\u2019s \u201cFuture 500\u201d book looked just like Freechild! I was like, \u201cWow.\u201d\nI\u2019ve read a ton of material in the last two years on student voice and involvement in schools, including whole toolkits with 1000s of pages, each seeking to influence 1000s of teachers to change. There were ups and downs there, too. \u201cFires in the Bathroom\u201d by Kathleen Cushman is an up. \u201cListening to Student Voices\u201d by NWREL is a down.\nAnd now, your book.\nI didn\u2019t read anything new here Scott. I am going to share some critical reflections here, and you can take them or leave them. Here are my major concerns:\nThe book offers very little new material. It reads like a rehash of lots of the books I\u2019ve already mentioned, with the exception that you\u2019ve reduced the expanded points of many authors to soundbites, without explaining the rationale or sentiment present therein.\nThere is a lot of pandering to mass media\u2019s opinions of young people. Some of your topic areas read like they\u2019re out of a newspaper, or that the \u201cMillennials\u201d are just what they\u2019re parents hoped they would be: \u201cA Patriotic Generation\u201d with a \u201cMillennial Paul Revere\u201d whose \u201cCultural Conservatism\u201d is going to provide \u201cFreedom\u2019s Answer\u201d for \u201cThe Choice Ahead of Us\u201d.\nOf the nine major issue areas, nothing directly addresses social justice, racism, sexism or homophobia.\nThere is very little mention of youth oppression, aside from highlighting it as a need for (not a cause of) youth activism.\nNothing addresses the classism that alienates young people from one another and from adults. After reading your book, I got the distinct feeling that youth activism is for white, middle and upper class kids who are fighting for the same thing everyone else is.\nSmaller, community-oriented organizations are under-represented. These groups, who are often \u201cunder-the-radar\u201d without formal 501c3 status or major foundation funding, are having massive effects on their communities. Your focus on large national and international organizations only re-inforces a sense of alienation and abandonment that many local youth activists feel.\nThe role of intergenerational interdependence is wholly dismissed throughout the book, especially by echoing Struass and Howe\u2019s slamming Gen Xers. Ironically, GenX psuedo-hero Billy Wimsatt is elevated to some throne by quoting him in the first section of the book, and citing his work throughout.\nA student activist is quoted as saying \u201cWe\u2019ve got the university by the balls.\u201d This actively reinforces negative media stereotypes and compells young people\u2019s internalized oppression further.\nColumbine is exploited by quoting a student who died. After that, a section on guns never attempts to dismiss the myth of youth violence, as Mike Males has so thoroughly done in his book, \u201cKids and Guns.\u201d\nYou quote George Tenet.\nYour book categorically denies the influence of past youth activism, including contributions and influences from the 1930s, 60s, or early 90s. You never once mentioned Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the most famous and effective youth activist ever, who argueably employed the most effect youth activism campaign ever. You didn\u2019t mention Students for a Democratic Society or the Port Huron Statement, likely the most tangible, intelligent thing youth activists have ever said.\nScott, I\u2019m not trying to be flippant or caustic with this critique. Rather, I am genuinely concerned about the course of your book. I don\u2019t believe that you are actually attempting to appeal to adults with a book that reinforces popular stereotypes young people and youth activism. I also don\u2019t believe that you are deliberately attempting to shelter masses of young people out there from the issues that are truely destroying our society, including racism, classism, xenophobia, and class segregation. But I don\u2019t see how you\u2019re doing anything to address those issues. Paulo Freire (who you don\u2019t cite, but should) wrote that, \u201cWashing ones hands of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless means to side with the powerful, not to be neutral.\u201d\nDon\u2019t pretend to be neutral Scott. A group of young people that I work with has a sign above their door that says, \u201cObservers from outerspace and journalists aren\u2019t welcome. You either DO, or you DON\u2019T.\u201d\nI know these comments are late, but I hope you\u2019ll understand why. Aside from my baby being born in August, and me assuming primary childcare duties in November, its been crazy hectic days. I would really like to talk with you sometime, and I hope you\u2019ll get in touch. Let me explain myself more.\nScott never has got back to me. Shortly after he released the book the listserve for the website went dead. I noticed a few years ago that he was using the website to get on a TV show \u2013 and the site still has that plea.\nI will write more about the danger of these books in the near future. Oh, and I did notice the comment about nuetrality. Hah!\nBooksFreechildTheory\nPrevious Post:The Myth of \u201cNeutral\u201d Youth Work\nNext Post:SpeakOUT",

        "title": "CCR Symposium: Screening Software CCR Symposium: Screening Software \u2013 Concurring Opinions",
        "raw_content": "CCR Symposium: Screening Software\nYesterday, I introduced some practical considerations that suggest the regime of IP logging proposed in Cyber Civil Rights might be less effective than it sounds as a way to identify anonymous harassers. Today, I want to turn to the second of the three concrete policy elements the paper outlines, namely the use of screening software.\nThere are many hypothetical kinds of computer filtering software that would, if they existed, be highly valuable. For example, software that could filter out illicit copies of copyrighted works, without impinging on fair use, authorized copying, or the exchange of public domain materials, would be greeted eagerly not only by the content industry, but by ISPs. Software that could protect children from obscene materials online without collateral harm to protected expression (such as health information) would be ideal for libraries. Such software would also, as Danielle writes, be \u201cwholly consistent with the Communications Decency Act\u2019s objectives.\u201d Congress has always been happy to permit the kind of well-done filtering imagined in these hypotheticals.\nTo her credit, Danielle does not assert that such ideal software exists today, and in that respect she stands above a long and unfortunate tradition of wishful thinkers. In fact, she acknowledges that there will be \u201cinevitable failures of this software to screen out all offensive material.\u201d (I imagine Danielle would also acknowledge the converse, inevitable failure to leave in all of the material that is not offensive in the salient sense.)\nIs such software feasible? Danielle\u2019s paper summarizes Susan Freiwald to the effect that \u201creducing defamation through technological means may be possible if companies invest in code to make it feasible.\u201d Friewald in the original writes: \u201d If a legal rule demanded it, companies would likely invest in code that made it feasible\u201d (Susan Freiwald, Comparative Institutional Analysis in Cyberspace: The Case of Intermediary Liability for Defamation, 14 Harv. J.L. & Tech. 569, at 629). In other words, if the law required firms to invest in trying to solve this problem, they would invest. Freiwald is, as Danielle is, apparently optimistic about the likely results of such investment. But the citation doesn\u2019t offer authoritative grounds for optimism.\nThere\u2019s no shortage of demand for the platonically ideal filtering software. And there would be plenty of privately profitable uses for it, if it did exist, as well as publicly beneficial ones. Public libraries may not provide much of a financial incentive for software development, but the content industries, as the conflicts over Digital Rights Management have repeatedly shown, certainly do. So why haven\u2019t software companies created such software yet? One might argue that the potential market is too small, which does not strike me as plausible. Another theory would be that these firms are so ideologically committed to an unfettered Internet that they all choose, all the time, not to make these profitable investments. Yet another would be that they aren\u2019t judging the technical risks and rewards accurately\u2014the task is easier than they believe, or the market larger.\nBut the explanation that I find most persuasive may also be the simplest: The best we can hope to do, in filtering, is a crude approximation of the Platonic ideal. When software companies offer frustratingly coarse filters, and when they tell us that better ones are not feasible, they are making an admission against interest, and it deserves to be taken seriously.\nIt\u2019s true that there is a moderate market for in-home filtering software directed at young children, and for some (but not most) workplace environments. These contexts share two important properties: First, the party purchasing the filtering software (parents or business owners or IT staff) does not have to live under its restrictions, and therefore may be less sensitive to the coarseness of those restrictions; and second, the harm from overblocking is low because neither young children nor employees in their work have as strong an interest in being able to send or receive free expression as the median Internet user does.\nIf ideal filtering were possible\u2014if computers were, or could become, that good at evaluating human expression\u2014then the technology would have applications far beyond the present case of preventing Internet harassment. But consider how hard it is to tell whether something counts as an instance of harassment. Lawyers and judges debate edge cases. Even an example from Danielle\u2019s paper (suggesting that a harasser should be awarded a \u201cCongressional medal\u201d) could plausibly be read in its context as sarcastic reproach, rather than endorsement, of the harasser. A search for antagonizing words might catch harassers but it would also ensnare Danielle\u2019s paper and this symposium.\nStill Buzzing, the Under 13 Set\nRhetoric v. Rhetoric\nCybersecurity Legislation and the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board\nIt\u2019s a fair point, and one that was on my mind while writing yesterday\u2019s post. The debate on filtering so far has been quite unsatisfactory, as snake-oil merchants try to convince us that they have got The Solution, which usually lasts about five minutes before it\u2019s proven to be anything but. We see a good example of this in the suggested Australian national filtering system supervised by the ACMA. Where filtering has been suggested for the purposes of copyright protection (e.g. ISP-level technologies like Audible Magic, which is magic in the sense that no-one knows how it works and it can\u2019t get it right all the time), it provokes a justifiable outcry, and I\u2019ve been one of the outcriers. Whatever about the technological advances, I think we\u2019re still a very long way from an acceptance that, for legal purposes, filtering is even close to ready.\nNext story CCR Symposium: Paul Horwitz Responds\nPrevious story A Supreme Court Vacancy",

Come see.\nWe are finishing up our Omaha trip. We have the day to run around and enjoy a few things (beer tasting!) before we get on the plane to go back home this evening. We are traveling to Seattle and spending the night at my daughter\u2019s in-laws and picking up the boys! I\u2019ve missed them so much on this trip! Then Tuesday we\u2019ll drive home to Portland so I\u2019m still living out of the suitcase for a couple more days.\nI\u2019ll be taking pictures to share with you later on in the week. I hope. Because it\u2019s not \u201cmy trip\u201d some of what I want to do doesn\u2019t get done. So hopefully pictures will happen.\nEnjoy your Monday and the new week. I\u2019m still coming around to read blogs because I\u2019m so far behind but a lot will have to wait til I\u2019m home as I\u2019ve put a huge dent into my data plan and I have to go til the 16th before it resets for the month!\nPedestrian bridge, links Omaha, Nebraska to Council Bluffs, Iowa.\nPosted in #weekendcoffeeshare, travel, tagged #weekendcoffeeshare, travel on December 5, 2015| 11 Comments \u00bb\nIf we were having coffee, I would tell you that I am still in Omaha. It has been an interesting trip ranging from really wonderful to I-wanna-go-home-right-this-minute. And it doesn\u2019t reflect on the city but on my travel mates. One minute we are all getting along fine and the next the other two are bickering and shouting at each other. That\u2019s not fun.\nOh well, I really need coffee right now. We were out until after one this morning and the others are still asleep and it is almost noon. There is no in-room coffee because my daughter used the packets from her room and my room yesterday and then she wouldn\u2019t let me put out the maid service sign when we left he room because she hadn\u2019t put her stuff away. We have a two room suite so that meant that my room didn\u2019t get maid up either and the coffee didn\u2019t get replenished. Yup. I need coffee. I have snacks so I\u2019m not starving but no coffee!\nIf we were having coffee, I would tell you that although I haven\u2019t seen much more than a few of the neighborhoods here and the downtown area, I like it. I would be happy here if I came here with my daughter and the boys. I imagine that we would need to get used to a lot of things but we could make it work. Today we\u2019re supposed to go on the interstate and circle the area to see what is outside of the metro area. Of course, by the time they get up and get dressed it may be dinner time and we won\u2019t see much because it will be dark! Tomorrow we go to Lincoln for the afternoon and so that my daughter can meet up with one of her internet friends.\nWell, I don\u2019t have much more to say right now. I want to work on making some noise so they can get up. I\u2019ve already texted her but she hasn\u2019t answered. Wish me luck!\nWhat are you like before your coffee? Have you ever been on a trip with others who are fighting and bickering constantly? How did you handle it?\nWeekend Coffee Share is a weekly blog hop hosted by Diana at Part Time Monster. Go check it out!\nDecaf, Please\nPosted in #weekendcoffeeshare, life, NanoPoblano, nanos, NaNoWriMo, travel, tagged family, funerals, nablopomo, NanoPoblano on November 21, 2015| 9 Comments \u00bb\nIf we were having coffee, it would have to be decaf for most of us as it\u2019s after 7:30 pm. We\u2019ve just stopped for the night on our way home from a week of traveling. This will be the last night before we get home as we are half way home. Yay!\nIf we were having coffee, I would probably bore you with a lot of stuff you don\u2019t want to hear about the grand kids. I\u2019ll try not to.\nIt has been tough with the two little ones. Spencer has trouble being in the car for more than about two hours so a two day trip home becomes three! If we can get him to nap then we hustle and get as far as we can before he wakes up. Anderson, on the contrary is and always has been a good traveler. No stops for him although he is in the \u201cHow many more minutes?\u201d phase\u2026every two minutes he asks!\nTough as it has been, I\u2019m glad we made the trip. I needed to be at the funeral for me as much as for them. As I sat in that church, in the last pew by the exit (that\u2019s where I put myself even though there was lots of room), I realized that some of what I was feeling was because there was no religious kind of observance of my father\u2019s passing last May. I felt like the mass was as much for Abuela as for my dad. And no, she wasn\u2019t my grandmother but she was grandmother to everyone that came her way. Everyone at the mass knew her as Abuela! I\u2019m glad it\u2019s over and we\u2019re almost home\u2026and I\u2019m glad we got to go.\nI\u2019ll cut it short. I\u2019m way behind on NaNoWriMo and even though I may not make it to 50k this year, I\u2019m not giving up. I\u2019m going to try. If I can get a little time tonight after everyone goes to sleep, I can write a couple of thousand words which is not much in the scheme of things but it keeps me from getting one more day behind. Then I should be able to write at least 5k Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday I head for Seattle but might try to get some words in before I leave. With luck I can get maybe another 3 to 5 thousand done in Seattle. That still leaves me behind but I\u2019ll be in catch up range. It might get right down to midnight this year!\nI hope everyone has a great weekend, a wonderful week, and for those who celebrate Thanksgiving, a very peaceful and inspiring holiday. I should be home late Sunday and with luck, I\u2019ll get back to normal posting.\n#WeekendCoffeeShare is a weekly blog hop hosted by Diana at Part Time Monster. Go take a peek and maybe join us!\nPosted in children, family, travel, tagged Adventure, photo, Seaside on August 27, 2015| 6 Comments \u00bb\n( I wrote this on Tuesday night and tried to post it but I haven\u2019t had a good internet connection that lasts long enough for it to upload from my phone to the blog. I\u2019m home now.)\nIf you haven\u2019t guessed by now, I\u2019m traveling. I have spent the last couple of days driving between Portland and Seaside. It\u2019s a 2 hour trip in each direction. It was a spur of the moment thing. My daughter and company decided to go overnight and invited me. I had a doctor\u2019s appointment so I declined. But I really, really wanted to go, for a number of reasons. So I went with them. Then I drove back to Portland for my appointment (which went fine btw) and then I got a text from my daughter saying they decided to stay another night and I was included. So right after my appointment I drove right back to Seaside.\nThis is important for a number of reasons. The most important of those reasons is that my daughter has made the trip prohibitive for me. She keeps saying I can\u2019t make the trip because it\u2019s a hard drive. It is but I\u2019ve done it now. Over. Back. Over. And today, I\u2019ll do it back again. It\u2019s not that bad. I CAN do it.\nIn the meantime, I\u2019ve been able to experience and enjoy a magnificent sunset. And today, an amazingly quiet moment at the mouth of the Columbia River. I won\u2019t forget either. And I\u2019ve enjoyed my grandsons. They are amazing. I wouldn\u2019t trade the time for anything. Anything.\nPosted in memoir, travel, tagged it doesn't hurt to ask, life, memoir, travel on March 16, 2015| 3 Comments \u00bb\nWhile reading blogs yesterday, I came across this one in which the blogger wrote about how she always felt she was unlucky when she traveled by air until the one day her luck changed. It\u2019s a nice post. You should go read it.\nIt reminded me of my air travel story. Well, I have a lot of them but there is one in particular that I will share today. In 2009, my son gifted me with a trip to Australia for Mother\u2019s Day. He had planned on going by himself then on Mother\u2019s Day, he surprised me with a travel guide to Australia, a Cheshire cat smile, and the words \u201cyou\u2019re coming with me, Mom\u201d! I was humbled by his thoughtfulness. And I was excited. Australia was one of those places I had always dreamed of visiting but never thought I would get there.\nOur flight from San Francisco took us to Los Angeles where we then boarded Qantas headed to Melbourne. It was a 15 hour flight. The seating was better than on a domestic flight but for that long of a flight, not a lot can be comfortable. My son and I had hoped that we would have empty seats next to us or somehow be able to spread out a little bit. I\u2019m short (only 5\u2032) but my son is tall (he\u2019s 6\u20192\u2033) and needs more leg room. We ended up next to a 70ish couple and we were in the last row of that section so no one behind us. I let my son have the aisle seat that was assigned to me and I sat next to the woman who was teeny tiny. I don\u2019t think they spoke English and if they did, they didn\u2019t say a word to us during the entire flight (they spoke Japanese to each other). About an hour into the flight, the woman took a nap. That was great except for one thing. She had stretched out putting her head in her husband\u2019s lap and her feet in my lap! No matter how much I nudged her feet off of me, she would put them back on my lap. We got through the flight without any problems other than the fact that her feet were on me. I couldn\u2019t sleep but it was a great excuse to have some of Qantas\u2019 complimentary Bundaberg rum\u2026and I did as rum is my favorite boozy drink!\nWe had a wonderful two week adventure. At the end of the week we flew from Melbourne to Cairns with a stop in Brisbane then a few days later we flew from Cairns to Sydney. I\u2019ve written about the trip on this blog and I think if you search it for \u201cAustralia\u201d you will find the posts and lots of pictures. But I\u2019ll get on with the return flight which proved to be different from the flight to Australia.\nMy son had tried to get us seats together on the way back but had not been able to. This made me nervous because I really don\u2019t like sitting next to strangers and because I often need help when I travel (due to a back injury and to being so short!). I suggested that he ask at check in if there were any way we could switch seats with someone so we could sit together. However, my son has not been raised to rock the boat. He tends to (not as much anymore) accept things as they are given to him. So he didn\u2019t ask. The flight was delayed so we sat waiting and waiting then when the check in crew arrived, I took Tony\u2019s boarding pass along with mine and went up to the desk. Tony said don\u2019t do it. There wasn\u2019t anyway to change the seating, he said. But I told him that it wouldn\u2019t hurt to ask and reminded him of what a long flight it was. Our seats were about three rows away from each other, not even close enough for me to get his attention to help me if I had needed help. So I explained to the agent at the desk that my son and I were traveling together but our seats were three rows apart and asked if there were any seats next to each other, or even aisle seats across from each other. She took the tickets and said in her Aussie accent, \u201cOh my lord! They didn\u2019t put you together? We can\u2019t have that! I\u2019ll take care of it!\u201d So we waited about five minutes; my son was very nervous. I don\u2019t know what he thought would happen just for asking. Finally, she called me back to the desk and handed me new boarding passes, saying she had changed our seats. When they began to call the rows to board, I noticed that we had been put in a different section of the plane because our section was the first to be called to board. We hurried to board and when we got to our seats, we were amazed! We had been moved to a window row with only two seats. Two big, wide, roomy, comfy, leather seats! We were in business class! Along with the better seats with a lot more legroom came a better meal, more variety in the complimentary drinks, a lavatory for just a few rows, and better service. Tony\u2019s eyes got big! He couldn\u2019t believe it! He enjoyed the flight so much and was even able to sleep for a good portion of it. He looked at me and said, \u201cI guess it never hurts to ask!\u201d\nSo that was a good lesson for him to learn. He saw that I asked nicely. I wasn\u2019t demanding, at all. I just asked. And they responded with courtesy, understanding, and efficiency!\nAnd I think it might have been our reward for not being rude to the lady with her feet on my lap!\nWaiting for our plane to come home\nTaronga Zoo 2\u2013Australia\nPosted in travel, tagged Australia, Taronga Zoo, wildlife, zoo on December 3, 2009| 1 Comment \u00bb\nAfter breakfast at the zoo, we were taken on a behind the scenes tour of many of the exhibits where we were able to listen to the caretakers for each area. One of the most interesting was visiting the place where they prepare all of the food that is given to the pets throughout the zoo. One of the zoo keepers was chopping up mixtures of fruits and vegetables and it was very interesting to see the variety of sizes into which the fruits and veggies were chopped. They ranged from almost whole to the tiniest of diced cubes, all depending on which animal was going to eat it! We were also shown the food for reptiles, like snakes and lizards, that eat rats and other rodents. We were shown everything from frozen pinky mice (really, really tiny) to frozen huge mice.\nWe also went behind the scenes into the giraffe enclosure where we were able to line up to feed them carrots! Giraffes are my all time favorite animals so this was a really big deal for me! I couldn\u2019t believe that we were so close to them and could touch them and feed them! I did get a picture of Tony as he turned from feeding them but unfortunately, he wasn\u2019t fast enough to get my picture as I fed the giraffes. I really would have loved to have that but it all happens very quickly and he was working with a digital SLR and had to focus and just didn\u2019t get it in time!\nThey also held back the monkeys (chimpanzees) in the primate enclosure until we were there because that\u2019s when they are most active so they didn\u2019t release them until we were there. Then after all that, we got to go back into the education area where we were shown some other animals, up close and personal.\nBelow you\u2019ll find some pictures. I will also be making a few more Australia posts with pictures that didn\u2019t make it into these posts the first time around.\nEmu and kangaroo\nTony and giraffes\nOld elephant house\nAbove is the old elephant house. We were told that when the new elephant house was built, all the elephants were moved down to that enclosure, which is huge! However, the one male elephant was soon removed and taken back up the hill to the old elephant house because he \u201cbothered\u201d the female elephants too much!\nTents at Taronga Zoo\nI found a picture of the tents we slept in at the Taronga Zoo for our sleepover (from yesterday\u2019s post). This is our neighboring tent taken from the \u201cporch\u201d of our tent. Each tent has a queen sized bed and two nightstands in it, as well as a chair and lamps.\nThe Taronga Zoo is one of the nicest zoos I have visited. It\u2019s huge, too! I\u2019ve gone to many zoos but this one will remain a favorite.\nTaronga Zoo, Sydney\u2013Australia\nPosted in travel, tagged Australia, Sydney, Taronga Zoo on December 2, 2009| Leave a Comment \u00bb\nOur second day in Sydney was spent touring the city by double decker bus until the afternoon when we boarded a ferry to take us across Sydney Harbor to the Taronga Zoo. We had reserved a slot at the Zoo\u2019s program where you can spend the night at the zoo, in tents. We were excited to be doing that. The itinerary for the evening was to meet and greet the evening\u2019s staff and then we were shown to our tents. The zoo is situated in a very scenic spot, overlooking Sydney Harbor and downtown Sydney. The setting for the overnight program was the most beautiful one can imagine. In fact, when they designed the area, they built the bathrooms with windows in the showers so that you can look out at the view as you shower. (There are also other showers with no peek-a-boo view!) Then we had a delicious dinner and then headed for an afterhours tour of the zoo. We were able to see tigers, zebras, giraffes, mountain goats, and other animals that were out and about at night time.\nOn the ferry to the Taronga Zoo.\nThis is the view from the back of the ferry that took us across the harbor to the Taronga Zoo.\nView from tent area at Taronga Zoo.\nWhen we were shown to our tents, this was where everyone stopped before even going in to their tent. From here, the tents are immediately behind. Ours was to the right and behind this overlook.\nView from our tent!\nThis is the view we had from our tent. It was such a gorgeous view that Tony didn\u2019t want to close the tent. We ended up sleeping with the screen closed and zipped (we were warned not to leave it unzipped because critters would definitely find their way into the tent) so we could see this view all night long.\nDawn over Sydney\nThis was the view when the sun began to come up the next morning. I did take night time pictures but because I had only a point and shoot and it was extremely windy (and freezing cold), they are too blurry to share. But the view from our tent was absolutely gorgeous!\nThis overnight at the zoo thing was something my kids and I, especially Tony, had wanted to do at other zoos over the years but we weren\u2019t ever able to do it. On this trip, Tony made sure we got to do all the things on our list. This one was a big hit, even with a sleepless night and the heavy winds that night.\nInterestingly enough, when 6 AM arrived, the kids on the overnight at the zoo were up and ready to go to our private tour before the zoo opened. All the grown up were exhausted. It turns out that we were not the only ones that couldn\u2019t sleep the night before. None of the adults got any sleep! The zoo staff member that was our leader, Todd, said when he leads the group he is never able to sleep and he does it several times a month! I figured in the end that it may have something to do with the adults being fully aware that we are in a vulnerable spot and if any animals were to escape their enclosure (think lions and tigers and bears) it could be catastrophic.\nIt was a wonderful activity! Tomorrow daytime pictures of the zoo and our behind the scenes adventure!",

        "raw_content": "So, over the weekend, I relaunched my blog on Node.js. I tried Tumblr, Blogger, Wordpress (hosted and self), Django, Rails and was just about to rebuild it in Sinatra when a friend suggested I just build it in Node. Of course! Why didn\u2019t I think of that?\nAs for what drove me to roll my own blog when there are plenty of solutions that do it just fine, it was 1 part being anal about URLs (which Tumblr and Wordpress just wouldn\u2019t give me the level of control I wanted), 1 part wanting to serve up different types of content (ala Tumblr) and 1 part \u201cwhy the hell not\u201d?\nAs for the stack, I\u2019m using Express for the framework, Jade for the templating, Markdown for the content and CouchDB for the document store. I\u2019m using git to deploy to prod with the help of a little post-receive hook. I\u2019m replicating my db locally to my prod box. This provides me with local copies of my site and my data.\nI have a lot of things I want to do. I have gists I want to find a way to proxy the content for, I want to allow comments and am thinking of using Twitter for my OAuth provider. I want to host links as well as posts, with a nod to Jeremy Keith. Microformats. I love microformats and have none on the site. This will be remedied shortly.\nI have a lot of things I need to fix. My content propagation isn\u2019t as clean as I would like. My design, well, let\u2019s just say it needs some love. Unfortunately, I don\u2019t know if I am the person who can give it that love. I tried to spend a good amount of time focusing on the readability and the font stack.\nFor anyone that happens to subscribe to my feed or link to my old posts, I apologize for the constant switching of URLs. One of the big reasons I went to this solution was to solidify my URL scheme. So I hope to be done with that. I will see about putting on some perm redirects for the old URLs.\nLove it, hate or mildly ambivalent towards it, here it is. I have put both my content and my app on github for all to see. Check it out. I\u2019m interested in your feedback.",

        "raw_content": "Many killings in CT since Newtown, but little reliable data\nEditor\u2019s note: The Mirror this week is looking at Connecticut through the lens of the Sandy Hook massacre.\nSeven days \u2014 that\u2019s how long it took after the Sandy Hook shootings for the next person to die of a gunshot in Connecticut.\nOn Dec. 21, 2012, Kyle Seidel of Waterford \u2014 a 34-year-old father of three \u2014 was shot and killed in a bowling alley parking lot.\nBut that\u2019s only according to the best data available. In fact, between Dec. 14 and Dec. 21, it\u2019s possible other gun deaths occurred, including suicides, which generally comprise about 60 percent of gun fatalities. But it\u2019s not easy to obtain reliable data on gun deaths, which means it is hard to know definitively how many people are being killed in Connecticut with guns.\n\u201cThat\u2019d be an important thing to know at any given point in time,\u201d said Michael Lawlor, the state\u2019s undersecretary for criminal justice policy and planning.\nAmong many other issues, the Sandy Hook massacre a year ago restarted the conversation about the lack of reliable, comprehensive data on gun violence, nationally and in Connecticut, which makes it hard for government officials who are trying to develop policies based on facts.\nLawlor recalled a recent conversation he had with a police officer who said New Haven is \u201cout of control\u201d in terms of violence. But from 2011 to 2012, New Haven cut its murder rate in half, and is on pace for a similar number this year. They aren\u2019t hard numbers to find, but there is no system for telling police what the trends are.\n\u201cSo much of what goes on in criminal justice is about individual horror stories,\u201d Lawlor said. \u201cYou would be surprised how many people \u2014 from police, prosecutors, judges \u2014 have a completely inaccurate perception of what\u2019s happening, day-to-day.\u201d\nOn a federal level, reliable gun fatality data has been largely unavailable because of a 1996 law that prohibits spending federal money on research that could be used to \u201cadvocate or promote gun control.\u201d (Shortly after the Newtown shooting, President Obama outlined a plan to resume gun research.) But on a state level, it\u2019s almost as difficult to get accurate, timely data.\nOne creative Twitter user, @GunDeaths, tried to aggregate national gun-death data using news reports. Slate.com took over the project with a small team of volunteer researchers which, to date, has recorded more than 11,000 deaths nationwide since Newtown \u2014 a number they admit is flawed. The tally includes 99 in Connecticut, since and including Newtown, as of Nov. 25.\n[iframe frameborder=\u201d0\u2033 height=\u201d700\u2033 scrolling=\u201dno\u201d src=\u201dhttps://projects.ctmirror.org/content/2013/12/GunDeaths/\u201d width=\u201d100%\u201d]\n\u201cIt seems silly that I had to put together this team of volunteers,\u201d said Chris Kirk, a co-creator of the Slate project. \u201cAnd it\u2019s still the best we\u2019ve got,\u201d he said, referring to the information collected.\nAnd the challenge remains in Connecticut. \u201cWe\u2019re trying to figure out a way to have it always available in real-time,\u201d Lawlor said. He\u2019s not only talking about gun-death data but about many other facets of criminal justice information as well.\nThe Connecticut Criminal Justice Information System is an ongoing project that aims to connect every criminal justice database in the state so a wide spectrum of agencies can get access to the information. This means that, at the very basic level, there could be an up-to-date count of homicides; it also means there would be data for researchers and analysts, enabling the state to make smarter policy decisions.\nBut the project, which began in 2008, has had problems recently, and it is unlikely to be completed within the year.\nOne challenge has been finding a way to get the data from local departments and agencies. But a much more difficult issue is making sure the crime definitions the local agencies use are consistent, so that \u201cwe\u2019re comparing apples to apples,\u201d said Lawlor, who co-chairs the project\u2019s governing board.\nOnce the system is available, it would provide quick, accurate data that\u2019s easily accessible, at least in terms of homicides.\nCurrently, all the available methods of finding out have serious downsides.\nThe FBI has a Uniform Crime Reporting program, which asks law enforcement agencies to submit their data. But this is on a voluntary basis, and local agencies classify crimes differently. In addition, the data is only released annually.\nConnecticut is unique in that it has its own Uniform Crime data. But this database also relies on local reporting agencies \u2014 which may classify incidents differently \u2014 and that means it\u2019s also potentially inaccurate and slow.\nThe most accurate information is from the state Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, which keeps a record of death certificates, including causes of deaths. This data includes suicides.\nThat\u2019s where the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention tracks the data \u2014 but that\u2019s slow and not easily accessible to the public.\nIn the Slate.com database, only six of the 99 gun deaths in Connecticut are classified as suicides (as of Nov. 25), which is not surprising since suicides are rarely reported by the media, and that\u2019s where this data is coming from. Kirk, the co-creator, said part of the rationale behind the project is to highlight this gap in the data.\nWhen counting only homicides, Connecticut\u2019s Uniform Crime data show that, in 2012, 110 people were killed with guns.\n[iframe frameborder=\u201d0\u2033 height=\u201d250\u2033 scrolling=\u201dno\u201d src=\u201dhttps://projects.ctmirror.org/content/2013/12/GunDeaths/table.html\u201d width=\u201d100%\u201d]",

        "title": "A Safe-Haven Church An Introduction to the Basics of a Safe Religious Community \u2013 International Cultic Studies Association",
        "raw_content": "Churches and religious fellowships need to recognize and value the quality and feeling of safety within the boundaries of their ministries. However, although this may seem obvious, we are evidently in an era when a significant number of such organizations are doing anything but fostering the feeling of safety. I am defining safety in this context as the practice and sense of security, freedom, and respect as one is joined and engaged with a particular social system or a specific group. Safety is admittedly something of a subjective term, but in this paper I will seek to articulate a number of specific features of safety, and specifically applied to what I am calling a safe-haven church.\nAllied to safety is a term familiar to thinkers who are historically Christian\u2014the idea of grace. Although the secularly inclined may find this concept to be superfluous to our discussion here, I believe that it is relevant to those who have left unsafe Christian environments, and who use or misuse Christian terms such as grace.\nThis paper does not advocate a doctrine of grace from any one theological tradition\u2014Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant, or other strain of Christianity. For our purposes, the classic theological definition provides a philosophical foundation for the notion of safety as used here. Most basically, grace simply means unmerited favor from God toward people. In the Old Testament, the term that most often is translated grace is h\u0113n\u0113n; in the New Testament, it is charis.[1] As the word grace is used in the Bible, it has many applications\u2014to individuals, to the whole global family of God\u2019s people, to particular groups and churches, to special assemblies, and so forth. As the biblical writings describe grace, it is a rudimentary attribute of God Himself, part of who He is, not just what He offers. And as such it is intended to spread from His people outward\u2014within their assemblies and outward to the general community. We may view grace, then, as the active sharing of God\u2019s love. Thus, a sense of safety can and should be built on grace.\nMy belief is that a great many churches and Christian fellowships are reasonably safe and do provide an edifying environment. However, it is unfortunate that too many have experienced and even propagated the antithesis of grace\u2014control, undue influence, harshness, legalism, and any number of other unhealthy and unsafe maladies\u2014at the hands of churches and religious organizations of almost all denominational stripes. I would deem these practices mutations of spirituality that damage and injure people even when at the same time they maddeningly espouse theological orthodoxy.\nOne experience highlights this sense. On Easter morning in 1992, a group of 50 adult new visitors appeared in our church worship service. They were from another church of the same theological stripe as ours, almost indistinguishable doctrinally from our church. Today there remain about a dozen individuals from that group who were successfully healed and enfolded into our church family.\nThe catalyst of the visitors\u2019 troubles in the other church stemmed from a pastoral transition that involved a highly controlling and heavily legalistic new pastor, who at the same time was a man gifted at communication (ironically) and thought to be a competent public speaker. While presenting as an effective preacher, he gathered around himself a number of leaders with precisely the same perspectives that he held; and the series of conflicts that followed were very sad and led to a wholesale departure of most of that church\u2019s members, including some longtime congregants.\nThose members came to us damaged and hurting, and we nervously sought to help them. We felt like a M*A*SH unit, and my first step as pastor was to visit their pastor, which I did twice; I found him cordial but refusing to own any responsibility for the conflict. He called this group of 50 adults troublemakers.\nSince 1992, this scenario has occurred two more times, with our church absorbing groups from conflicted church situations. We also have absorbed individuals and smaller groups of people from time to time who have suffered confusion, theological disorientation or excesses, or domination by overzealous or self-fascinated church leadership, either from cults, superfundamentalist Christian ministries, or other strange variations of evangelical weirdness. In addition, we have enfolded, for brief periods of time, several pastors and missionaries who came to us from injurious ministry situations. In all cases, we have sought to understand the circumstances of trauma or difficulty those involved had experienced\u2014usually by tracking back to the source church to query the remaining leaders or pastors.\nThese experiences have served to humble our own congregation greatly. In reviewing our experience, we have been able to identify several basic features as contributors to our congregation\u2019s receptivity toward those who are hurting:\nA generally relaxed environment.\nIt is a delicate dance of balance to keep our serious commitment to orthodox evangelical theology connected to a lightheartedness in which we laugh easily, refuse to take ourselves too seriously, and find the expression of joy easy to generate. But this is the first thing I thought of to lead the list that follows. It is vital that people coming in can relax, be allowed some level of transparency, and be given the time to explore grace anew.\nMy own observation is that legalism will gladly fill any void created by ambiguity or weak leadership regarding church life.\nOne group who came to us talked about how rules upon rules grew as their previous church began to do more outreach. The pastoral leadership had felt the need to assert authority with a growing set of \u201cstandards,\u201d where previously there had been only generalities. As other church leaders began to explore a wider outreach in the community, but without much strategy or discussion, the lack of good protocols in place invited the legalism that was subsequently imposed. The situation eventually became simply intolerable for people who loved grace at the root of their theology.\nClear articulation of primary, secondary, and tertiary doctrinal priorities, and of how leadership and congregation maintain and teach each category.\nIf there is one theme from my whole ministry experience that I wish I could bottle and sell, it is the ability to discern what is most important, and what few beliefs are essential for one to remain true to one\u2019s faith.\nFar more often, however, churches load most of their beliefs, customs, and preferences into the first tier: primary. In reality though, Christian theology has not developed as a single download from God\u2014it developed over 20 centuries and mostly piece by piece, which is the study of systematic theology. Church members should be able to talk easily about those several beliefs that are essential to still be Christian; those that, while still important, are clearly secondary; and those, further, that are still under much discussion and about which there should and can be an appropriate diversity of opinion. Thus, affirmation of the Nicene Creed may be a first-level, propositional set of beliefs, while belief in the Rapture may be part of the third level of opinion.\nMinimization of theological weirdness.\nI seem to have the gift of smelling weirdness before it walks in the door. I can smell it in my brothers and sisters who have \u201cgone weird,\u201d and I find myself feeling close to other ministers and leaders who share the same gift. I am not sure I know how to teach this. And without a more detailed definition of weirdness at hand, I can only point to the inevitability that too many churches will \u201cgo weird\u201d sooner or later. When healthy leaders and pastors pay attention to the beginning of weirdness, they can best act to kindly counteract it in appropriate ways with a good theological perspective.\nWeirdness often shows up with leaders\u2019 or a single leader\u2019s unchecked ego and a need to control. It presents in strange visionary pronouncements and too much cozying up to popular trends taken directly from the culture. (We can cite Nazism\u2019s sad seduction of the German ecclesiastical establishment in the early 1930s as a dramatic example.)\nOngoing practice of forgiveness.\nWe may not always be the best at doing forgiveness, but we value it and we keep trying to practice it. We explore the environment of \u201cseven times seventy\u201d (Jesus\u2019 statement), and I would suggest that churches who wish to be safe must insist on forgiveness as much as it is within their power to do so.\nFeaturing films, books, and cultural examples of forgiveness in the routine life of the church goes a long way toward modeling this important \u201cflavor\u201d for church life. Do people in the church taste forgiveness in their life and the stresses that church life can hold? Or do people (even leaders) hold grudges, with no one calling out the bitterness and distancing that grudge-holding almost always entails? Robert Grant\u2019s ingredients of forgiveness are helpful for study here, and are easily accessible online.[2]\nHealthy power-sharing among leaders.\nChurches do not typically admit to the same basic power-struggle dynamics that businesses, schools, the military, or government labor experience (and which have been widely written about). Church people, especially evangelicals, tend to believe that we are somehow immune to power battles. But when a church admits that power and influence are important commodities, and fully acknowledges that these two things can bless or destroy a church, it is far better off! Openness and a bold honesty, while perhaps daunting, give a congregation a better chance for promoting a feeling of safety.\nHealthy balance of power and authority between leadership and membership.\nPower and authority too often weigh out of balance on one side or the other. Leaders (pastors, too) insist on most of it. Or, in the other extreme, the \u201cbody\u201d or congregation refuses to surrender any of it to the leaders and builds in protocols of polity that protect and retain most of the authority for the voting membership.\nPeriodic change of some, if not most individuals in positions invested with power and influence.\nThe crass term today seems to be term limits. There is, however, some common sense in the safeguard of occasionally changing names on the \u201cdepth chart\u201d so that others, especially younger or less-senior leaders, can be assured some of the meaningful decision-making power.\nAs a long-term pastor (of more than thirty years), to even suggest this approach feels threatening. Significant power and the feeling of ownership seem almost inevitable for any leader who lasts a long time. Influence is a seductive commodity, however; and although it can be useful and edifying, it can become possessive of the person who has it. Healthy influence (mentoring, training, etc.) can mutate into undue influence all too easily.\nOpenness to questions.\nI have heard this so many times: \u201cIn my former church I was not allowed to ask questions, and if I did, they were belittled or ridiculed.\u201d A safe church allows and in fact invites questions. Openness and transparency, as much as appropriate and responsible, invite trust and loyalty. We cannot legislate the loyalty that we crave in the church by shutting down honest and sincere questioning.\nHealthy communication practices (or just any communication!).\nYou cannot ever have too much communication. You can have too much talk and too many words, but you can never have too much real communication. Having the information they need, accurately and honestly, equips people to respond well, even if the situation concerned is uncomfortable. Withholding information\u2014or worse, confusing people with misinformation or stonewalling\u2014only makes people feel distrustful and basically unsafe.\nToo much reliance on electronic communication (email, social networking, text messaging) invites confusion and misinterpretation, I have noticed. Face-to-face communication is far more valuable, especially with issues that might be touchy.\nGood balance of formality and informality.\nThis is a tricky balance, too, but people respond well and with gratitude when they understand that sometimes it is appropriate to act and be formal, and at other times (which are many) an informal atmosphere serves them well.\nAllowances for humor.\nIn seminary I heard fellow seminarian Frank Carmical say, \u201cI take what I am doing very seriously, but I try to never take myself too seriously.\u201d I love that sense of keeping humor. Church leaders who cannot laugh at themselves once in a while and who disallow humor under the guise of spirituality or responsibility do a disservice to the community of faith. Safe churches have a built-in sense of whimsy that protects them, at least to some extent, from demagoguery.\nBalance of friendliness toward, interest in, and granting of space to visitors.\nClose attention and maybe even some measure of giftedness is necessary for greeters to sense how in-their-face to be with visitors or new persons in a church. We want to be (not just seem) friendly. We also want to respect people\u2019s privacy and their need just to be anonymous until such time as they feel safe enough to come out of their \u201cvisitor\u2019s shell.\u201d\nExpectations governed by graciousness and patience rather than by agenda and productivity.\nThe older I become the more sensitive I get to how powerful expectations really are in life. Christians, because of our high theology (for which we do not apologize), sometimes match that theology with very high expectations. We need to be at least as vigilant to show graciousness and patience as we are to exhort people to become holy, Spirit-filled, and participatory in the church\u2019s ministry. We may become victimized by our own ambition to grow and add new ministries if we are more passionate about productivity as a church than we are willing to practice love.\nChurch-membership status handled with a light touch.\nChurch-membership campaigns and the passion to boost the official numbers have become trendy in America. While we believe in a healthy sense and practice of membership, we need not communicate second-class status to those who for whatever reason are not ready to join our church.\nConnections beyond the local church. As the final point, this is certainly not the least important idea in this paper! Few things help us not take ourselves too seriously like spending time with other leaders and church people who are not part of our particular church, but with whom we feel philosophically compatible does.\nBecoming aligned with a parent organization (recognized denomination) or parachurch affiliation can safeguard against becoming too ingrown and self-sufficient. Involvement outside our own fellowship also enhances our perspective about the problems and challenges churches much like our own face.\nMutual dependency is an honorable value between churches, and to explore useful connections outside the boundaries of our own fellowship helps defeat isolation that can make an organization feel very unsafe.\nFinally, in conclusion,\nSafe-haven churches do not damage the children of their attendees. A major concern and effort among therapeutic, criminal-justice, and religious organizations is to safeguard against the abuse, manipulation, and exploitation of children. Safe churches do their very best only to bless children in any of their ministries, and they exercise great vigilance to maintain a safe emotional, physical, and spiritual environment for any children that come their way.\nSafe-haven churches allow people to leave them. Although it is hard to say good-bye to a treasured church family, it ought never to be hurtful to do so. Safe churches bless people as they leave and keep the door open should people decide to return later. What is unsafe is when people have experienced a disillusionment or disaffection for some reason with the church and are punished, belittled, or worse for trying to leave the organization. Safe churches work to make departing as painless as possible.\nRobert Pardon (Director of the New England Institute for Religious Research) remarked to me, \u201cthe issue is being able to \u2018pastor on the fringes\u2019 and equip the leadership to do so.\u201d Unless a church can learn and perhaps deliberately set out to receive damaged people who don\u2019t necessarily join, embrace, or plug in right away, then only a small percentage of those visitors (who really want to find a good church home) will stay long enough to discover whatever strengths the church really possesses. As people have arrived in our church, it is has always been an interesting challenge to discern how inviting or how respectfully distant we should be. Often we can pick this up by their signals, but the response is more an art than a science. Some visitors appear private and guarded while they are really wishing someone would engage them with interest. Others are very personable initially even though they actually are being very careful and even wary.\nWe created a part-time position of enfolding leader, whose job on Sundays is to watch for visitors, greet them briefly, help them with direction if they need it, and then follow up and provide additional information in the days or weeks ahead. We interviewed five individuals for this position and settled upon the clear candidate. Her qualities blend a mature spiritual outlook with a personal openness and genuine interest in learning about visitors. She has served as first contact for many people who have come to us from a hurting (or damaged) background.\nRecently I heard the word predatory applied to a large evangelical ministry by a non-Christian observer. Whether or not that assessment is fair, it raises the question about perception. Do we as churches (or ministries) come off as predatory, seeking to consume new people rather than to bless them? Do we \u201csmell\u201d dangerous?\nIf anything, a Christian church should feel safe. That obligation does not diminish the standards of Christian discipleship and orthodoxy in theology, and it does not coddle anyone\u2019s willingness to compromise integrity. It means, though, that the Gospel, with its free offer of forgiveness, its hope for the future, and its guarantee of God\u2019s love should be felt everywhere in the life of the church. Legalism, the feeling of being report-carded, excessive monitoring of accountability, and heavy-handed authority or oligarchy are all enemies of the feeling of safety. Churches should be the last place where people feel preyed upon or exploited in any way. And yet we have heard from many visitors that these are exactly the experiences they have endured in other churches. Their urge to flee, while they were strangely haunted by their need to be in some kind of fellowship, led them randomly (so it seems) to us.\nRev.

        "raw_content": "Zen and the Art of Student AbuseChristopher Hamacher\nWhen the first Zen Buddhist teachers began arriving in America from the Far East in the 1950s and 1960s, many liberals and intellectuals were immediately drawn to them as models of enlightened and rational behavior, selflessly showing their students the Buddhist Way without any hint of esoterism or scandal. This idealized picture has lost much of its sheen in the past 20 years, however, since the conduct of numerous Zen teachers has unfortunately not lived up to such exalted standards. Rumors of adulterous relationships with students, or of alcohol abuse, for example, began to suggest that these mysterious Zen masters might be merely human after all. Furthermore, a few particular cases uncovered only within the past few years have been even more problematic: Teachers such as Eido Shimano or Joshu Sasaki have been accused not just of one-time ethical failings, but rather of sexual and/or financial abuse of dozens of students over decades, in some cases without any evidence of remorse.[1] Moreover, other students apparently were aware of what was going on but still were either unwilling or unable to leave the respective group. In my opinion, these cases do not constitute merely unfortunate personal failings of a few errant teachers; rather, they are the natural outcome of the continued application of many entirely accepted Zen Buddhist practices.\nFirst, it is well known that stringent and authoritarian structures, which in some cases admit absolutely no dissent by the student, characterize the Zen tradition. The power hierarchy in a typical Japanese-style Zen monastery is absolute, and open communication between students\u2014for example, about the contents of their personal interviews with the teacher\u2014is frowned upon. Although such a strict atmosphere is perhaps appropriate, given the very personal nature of Zen introspection, it is easy to imagine how an unscrupulous teacher can abuse such rules.\nSimilarly, the Zen mythology of \u201cdharma transmission\u201d (i.e., a kind of seal of approval passed down by generations of teachers) also can facilitate teacher abuse. For example, a Zen teacher who has received such dharma transmission theoretically no longer needs to behave ethically because his supposed enlightenment already has been officially and irrevocably confirmed in writing. Even though it is far from established what such enlightenment actually means in practice, the many glowing references to it in the Zen literature ensure that any doubts about the teacher\u2019s conduct can swiftly be rationalized away. At the same time, when a teacher receives dharma transmission, he also obtains a monopoly on naming any future teachers in his lineage. Therefore, if his students ever wish to eventually teach themselves, they must continue to study with him regardless of any misgivings they may have about his character. Finally, the teacher\u2019s dharma-transmitted colleagues evidently become reticent to express criticism, as well: In the two aforementioned cases, it was decades before the Zen community was willing or able to speak out against the teachers, despite detailed accounts of abuse.\nThe teachings of Zen Buddhism itself are also not without problems. For example, Zen typically places very little emphasis on justice or morally correct conduct. As one scholar has put it,\n\u2026if we search for evidence of substantive interest in morality in the two dimensions of the Zen tradition where we would most expect to find it\u2014in the vast canon of Zen sacred literature and in the full repertoire of Zen practices\u2014we discover that it is largely absent.[2]\nAnd although ethical principles such as wisdom and compassion do exist in the broader Buddhist literature, Zen typically rejects the scholarly study thereof. Even the interpretation of the Third Buddhist Precept against misusing sexuality has been left deliberately vague in Japanese Zen. Thus, much teacher behavior that one could quite reasonably qualify as morally wrong can still be spun as acceptable in Zen.\nAnother Zen doctrine that a teacher can use to deflect criticism is that of our \u201coriginal nature,\u201d\u2014i.e., that the human ego is ultimately an illusion. For example, the abusive teacher may state that because the student still sees things through the illusory veil of the ego, she cannot appreciate the fact that what might appear to the untrained eye as womanizing, lying, exploitation, and so on is in fact the enlightened activity of a Buddhist master. And because the only authority in a position to judge the difference between justified criticism and merely \u201cego-based delusion\u201d is of course the teacher himself, he can use this argument to trump almost any possible questioning of his misbehavior. One especially absurd version of this defense, allegedly used by Eido Shimano, is that if he didn\u2019t accept the sexual advances of his female students, he would be creating \u201cworse karma\u201d than if he agreed to their propositions.\nThese characteristics constitute only a selection of those elements within Zen that a teacher can easily misuse for his own purposes. Of course, such elements do not always lead to problems, and most teachers remain honest and responsible. Nevertheless, in accordance with the Buddhist principle of \u201cdo no harm,\u201d I believe it is essential that such potentially dangerous elements be objectively examined and, if need be, discarded from future Zen practice. Only in this way will Zen, in my opinion, remain a legitimate spiritual alternative for Western people in the long term.\nChristopher Hamacher, LLB, graduated in law from the Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al in 1994. He has practiced Zen Buddhism in Japan, America, and Europe since 1999 and has run his own Zen meditation group since 2006. He currently works as a legal translator in Munich, Germany. He presented his paper \u201cZen Has No Morals!\u201d\u2014The Latent Potential for Corruption and Abuse in Zen Buddhism, As Exemplified by Two Recent Cases in French at the 2012 ICSA Annual Conference, and he hosted a poster session on the same topic at the 2013 conference.

We will try to show that this leads to a contradiction.\nPB is finite means that PB can be listed as a set of n primes in order, i.e.\nPB = {p1, p2, \u2026 , pn} where p1<p2 \u2026 <pn.\nNow consider x = 6(\u220fi=1 .. n pi) \u2013 1. Clearly x\u2208B. If x\u2208PB then x\u2264pn which is clearly not true and so x\u2208CB .\nIf all of the primes dividing x belong to A, then x\u2208A which is not possible since A \u2229 B = \u00d8, and so at least one prime dividing x belongs to B. Since x = 6(\u220fi=1 .. n pi) \u2013 1 that means some prime in B divides into 1, i.e. impossible.\n'square root' \u00b7 prime",

Then you do a bit of painting and you think it\u2019s fairly easy. When you start doing it more seriously you soon begin to have a nice time, you meet lots of girls \u2026 \u201d And all this, he says, comes with the heady allure of a freedom from responsibilities and the ties of a nine-to-five job. So why has he adhered to a regime over much of the last 60 years that is far more restrictive than anything an employer would impose, often working seven days and five nights a week and barely leaving the small patch of north London near the studio where he both works and sleeps?\n\u201cWell, you start to realise that painting is not quite as easy as you thought. In fact what you are doing isn\u2019t really painting at all. You gradually see how much of a historical backlog there is, and if you don\u2019t take it into account you are doing nothing more than fiddling about. At first I had to struggle to find the time to work, and then when I got a bit of time it seemed absolutely bonkers not to use it for painting. Once or twice when I was young I did try to go away for a couple of days, to Brighton or Oxford, for a break, and I just didn\u2019t know what the hell to do with myself. I felt impatient and bored.

        "title": "Measuring Phylloxera\u2019s Impact on the World of Wine | SevenFifty Daily",
        "raw_content": "Photo courtesy of Edward Linley Sambourne.\nTurmoil raged around the globe, but the near century between the conclusion of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815 and the advent of World War I in 1914 was a time of rising prosperity for much of Europe. The mad rush to colonize the world had largely subsided, and the major powers within Europe and Russia had stopped fighting over the pieces. Mostly. Cities swelled as the Industrial Revolution transformed and urbanized the landscape, and the New World was being plundered for raw materials to feed its machines. Meanwhile, the population\u2014especially within France\u2014enjoyed an improved standard of living. The citizens celebrated their rising status with an increased thirst for wine, and land under vine swelled accordingly.\nAdvancements in technology had shortened the journey between continents. Liberated from the vagaries of the wind, steam-powered ships sliced through ocean waves at record clips. Their hulls, made first of wood and later of steel, bulged with exotic bounty. Globalism had descended. The world had been cracked open and untold delights had tumbled out, to be collected and disseminated across Europe. The tomato and Italy, lovers in a past life, had been united\u2014but not all the New World\u2019s gifts would prove so benevolent.\nOne particular pest, an aphid that came to be known as Phylloxera vastatrix, was especially damaging. This microscopic insect, native to the Mississippi Valley of the eastern United States, practically destroyed all the world\u2019s vineyards once freed from its native land. What reassembled in its wake was the blueprint for the modern wine industry that we know today.\nThe explosive transformation of phylloxera cannot be overstated. It is not known what vessel bore this pestilence to European soils, nor even precisely when. All we know is that at some point, packed in damp earth, an otherwise innocent-looking bundle of vines made its way across the Atlantic, a million tiny Oppenheimers riding on the roots.\nFirst Symptoms, First Responders\nIn 1866, a grower in the southern Rh\u00f4ne, roughly halfway between Avignon and Orange, reported the death of a block of vines. In the span of a few growing seasons, the leaves had withered and dried, and then the vines themselves succumbed. Two years later, with the infection clearly spreading, the French government set up a three-man coalition to investigate. The dead vines, once exhumed, revealed nothing but diseased and rotted roots. The plants directly adjacent to the infection, however, swarmed with microscopic yellow bugs. The committee recognized the aphid as a close relative of the oak phylloxera. To underscore the particularly deadly nature of this tiny assassin, they appended its name with vastatrix, Latin for \u201cthe devastator.\u201d\nWhat happened next is fascinating. The committee, led by Jules-\u00c9mile Planchon, Professor of Botany and Pharmacy at the Universit\u00e9 de Montpellier, rejoiced in the discovery. Surely their sleuthing had uncovered the criminal, and the world could now move forward in seeking a cure. But instead of applause, they were rewarded with doubt and ridicule. As none of the three were insect specialists, entomologists publicly denounced their findings, sure that a lone aphid was incapable of such wholesale destruction. This was damaging enough to the commission\u2019s cause, but the worst attacks came directly from Paris, the seat of France\u2019s medical community. There, the leading minds believed phylloxera was merely the symptom of some inherent vine malady, not the actual cause of death, and called for an investigation into what factors (climate, soil, too many years of asexual reproduction) might be weakening the plants. This mirrored the dominant medical philosophy of the day: that people did not get sick from external forces such as germs, but became ill due to internal imbalances of the body, a holdover from the ancient concept of humors. As such, the Paris contingent argued that phylloxera\u2019s role was no greater than that of a vulture, drawn in by the carrion perfume of the already dying vines.\nTo understand this schism, one must take a step back and consider this moment in the evolution of human thought. Phylloxera struck when France was, for all intents and purposes, fresh off the Enlightenment. This was a period (from the late 1600s to the early 1800s) during which the scientific method began to supplant the more mystical, superstitious thinking of yore. Needless to say, the transition did not happen uniformly, nor in one fell swoop. So while science was more scientific than ever in the mid-1800s, it was still a fairly primordial field. Louis Pasteur, whose work would prove fundamental to our understanding of microbial life, including fermentation, was early in his career at this point. Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species in 1859 but was still considered something of a radical. And Gregor Mendel, that famous Austrian monk with his pea plants, proposed a genetic theory of trait inheritance in 1865, but his work would remain largely unknown until the turn of the century. In short, France\u2019s collective medical brain was stuck between two modes of thinking, with strong opinions and abundant pride on either side of the divide.\nInitially, the phylloxera-as-symptom camp had the greater numbers and, as they were based in Paris, the more official platform. As time passed, however, an increasing amount of evidence stacked in favor of phylloxera-as-cause. In 1869, a massive flood kept a fully infected vineyard submerged for several weeks. The proprietor was delighted to see the vines looking healthier than ever the following growing season. The bug, he surmised, had drowned. It was also noted around this time that phylloxera never seemed to strike extremely sandy vineyards. These observations furthered the notion that phylloxera itself was the culprit, as only when relief was provided from its incessant sucking would vines thrive.\nA full seven years would pass between the discovery of Phylloxera vastatrix and its official pronouncement as the cause of the malady, years in which the debate between the two sides played out publicly via a series of letters and editorials that were rife with incendiary comments, professional jealousy, and personal attacks. Reading through these exchanges today is not unlike watching a horror movie wherein the protagonists bicker about which way to run while the killer circles ever closer. Indeed, phylloxera racked up quite the body count while the scientists squabbled. After chewing its way through the Languedoc and Provence, the louse reached Bordeaux in 1869, where it infected 100,000 of the region\u2019s 170,000 hectares. Having consumed its fill of Claret, phylloxera turned and headed north. By the time of consensus in 1875, the knife\u2019s edge was mere inches from the delicate throats of Burgundy, the Loire, and Champagne.\nOrigin Story & The Quest for Kryptonite\nWhile the powers that be in Paris searched for clues to the plague inside the vine, Planchon and his colleagues set to work examining the bug. A major point of interest was its origin. Where had phylloxera come from? Planchon\u2019s original published findings had made their way across the ocean and the desk of C.V. Riley, the state entomologist of Missouri. Riley recognized the aphid as similar to an American species that seemed to feed only on the leaves of grape vines and suggested they might be one and the same. Planchon tested this hypothesis in 1870 by placing infected leaves from American vines near pots planted with vinifera. Within a few days, the bugs had migrated underground to feast on the European roots. This not only confirmed that they were the same insect, but also that the origin was likely American.\nWith phylloxera rightly fingered and its birthplace revealed, the scientists\u2019 energies now focused on a cure. The French government had opened the floor to the general population, with a generous bounty on the head of the pest. The result was a torrent of fantastical home remedies, each more preposterous than the last, more than one involving some combination of urine and garlic. Burning proved ineffectual, as did prayer. Flooding enjoyed a moderate success but was limited in application, as only the flattest vineyards could be physically submerged for the recommended length of time (40 days). Plus, the treatment had to be repeated every year. Sand was also a weapon of choice. Not only were holes dug around the trunks of vines and filled with the stuff (a laborious enterprise), but multiple new vineyards were developed on dunes and beaches. Proximity to the waves proved problematic, however, as more than one of these vineyards washed out to sea.\nUltimately, two main strategies emerged as the best way to fight phylloxera, each with their own ardent camp. The \u201cChemists\u201d recommended the use of pesticides while the \u201cAmericanists\u201d thought salvation would be achieved by using native American vines in some form, whether through direct planting, the creation of European-American hybrids, or grafting. As with the phylloxera cause/symptom debate, this battle stoked the notoriously passionate French into near hysteria.\nInitially, the Chemists held the advantage, having both history and the government on their side. Years before phylloxera had made itself known, another American scourge had threatened Europe\u2019s vineyards: oidium (powdery mildew). According to Giulia Meloni and Johan Swinnen, oidium caused French wine production to decrease from 54 million to 11 million hectoliters between 1847 and 1854. Thankfully, in 1855, it was discovered that regular sulfur dusting could alleviate the danger, and production rebounded almost immediately. Such a complete triumph led many scientists to believe a similar solution was possible for phylloxera, and significant government and private funding was thrown the way of chemical research.\nAfter an elaborate series of trial and error, carbon disulfide (CS2) was tapped as the phylloxera asphyxiate of choice. This was an imperfect solution, as not only was CS2 extremely dangerous (its fumes are highly combustible), its application was both tedious and costly. To keep phylloxera at bay, CS2 had to be administered around the vines twice yearly, both in the spring and in the fall. A large, syringe-like device was engineered as the delivery mechanism, and gas had to be injected at multiple points per square yard. Soil and climatic requirements were extremely specific. The ground had to be porous enough to receive the gas, but not so friable that it would escape easily. Also, if rain came too soon after treatment, reapplication was necessary. The elaborate, expensive nature of this process ensured that only the wealthiest vignerons with the most prestigious landholdings could keep the practice going for any length of time.\nMeanwhile, experiments with American vines were yielding mixed results. Some producers had simply replaced their old vines with American ones, but the wines were disagreeable. Hybrids were more successful. The hope was that cross-breeding would marry European flavors with American fortitude, but the results were never so glorious. Most hybrids were of limited utility, proving only partially resistant to phylloxera and often only partly palatable. Still, they became a popular option internationally, and though hybrids are now outlawed in most of Europe\u2019s appellations, they continue to play a significant role in many wine regions, especially in the more marginal corners of the New World.\nIt was growing increasingly clear that grafting European varieties onto American rootstock was the only real and permanent solution. Various scientists had been beating the drum for this for years, but the strategy was viewed by many as a last-ditch effort to be tried only when all other options had been exhausted. The fear was that the American roots would taint the flavor of the wine; even after this had been largely disproved, the underlying prejudice was difficult to overcome. After all, American vines were the very agents of evil that had carried phylloxera to French soil.\nThe first laws officially sanctioning grafting onto American rootstock were passed in 1878 and 1879, but even then, the practice was confined exclusively to the south, and only to the most heavily infected zones. Grafting remained prohibited in Bordeaux until 1881 and in Burgundy until 1887, when desperate growers effectively forced administrators\u2019 hands. But grafting was complicated business. Not all American rootstocks were impervious to phylloxera, and certainly not all were suited to the various soils and climates of France. The identification and development of proper rootstocks took years of experimentation and was not without false starts. More than one bad recommendation was made in the early years, meaning growers who might have spent their last dimes to replant were once again faced with fields of dead and dying vines. Still, the collective vineyard of France pushed on, and it is estimated that by 1900, two-thirds of French vines were bound to American roots.\nThe Old New France\nPhylloxera transformed France in several profound ways. One of the most dramatic changes was to the scale of the industry. Viticulture had expanded more or less steadily since the French Revolution; per Rod Phillips, area under vine reached its apogee in 1874 with 2,465,000 hectares, roughly three times France\u2019s total plantings today (the Organization Internationale de la Vigne et du Vin reported 791,000 hectares in 2014). Most wine regions shrank after phylloxera and some disappeared altogether, while only a handful (notably the Languedoc) grew in proportion.\nViticulture was completely overhauled. Prior to phylloxera, most of France\u2019s vineyards were field blends rather than organized blocks of varieties, and were generally propagated en foule (\u201cin a crowd\u201d) via layering. In this method, a cordon, or even an entire vine (as with provinage), was buried until it set roots. The result was a jumbled mishmash of vines at densities two-and-a-half to three times higher than is common today, and complex root systems that could be several hundred years old. C\u00e9pages adjusted as well. For most regions, phylloxera provided an opportunity to separate the wheat from the chaff, and countless poorly regarded vine types either experienced diminished plantings or were eradicated. And, of course, the use of grafted vines allowed vineyards to be planted in rows and along trellises, which modernized farming and opened the door to mechanization.\nIn truth, some of these changes were already in motion before phylloxera\u2019s descent. For example, the area surrounding Paris was once carpeted in vines, the wine from which filled the cups of the nation\u2019s thirsty capital. The expansion of the canal system and development of railways in the 1840s and 1850s suddenly gave the drinkers of Paris ready access to the more robust libations of the Languedoc, which was producing half of France\u2019s wine by the 1850s. As a result, the greater Parisian vineyards and much of the Yonne was already in decline by the late 1860s. Over in Bordeaux, the oidium outbreak had caused a shuffling of varieties to favor those with resistance to mildew, and the finest houses were already working to rid themselves of the less prestigious wine grapes. Still, no matter the existing trajectory, there can be no question that phylloxera sped things along significantly. However devastating and expensive it may have been, it was also a heck of a shortcut.\nLoire & Jura\nBoth the Loire and the Jura regions experienced dramatic transformations in the wake of phylloxera. Reportedly, before the outbreak, a full two-thirds of the Nantais was planted to Folle Blanche, Sancerre was predominately a red wine region, and Muscadet was nowhere near as prevalent as it is today. As with Sancerre, the Jura switched its allegiance from red to white grapes, and the entire appellation shrank significantly. According to Wink Lorch\u2019s book on the subject, 62% of land under vine was lost after phylloxera, never to be replanted.\nAlsace underwent a particularly tumultuous time during the phylloxera outbreak, as the brief Franco-Prussian War saw the area annexed to Germany in 1870. The German response to phylloxera was faster and more severe than that of the French: Alsacian vintners were ordered to uproot and burn their vines, and leave the land fallow for a handful of years. When they were finally permitted to replant, the German government allowed them only hybrids; it would take Alsace\u2019s return to French rule in 1918 for the hillsides to be returned to noble varieties.\nAs previously discussed, Bordeaux was in flux by the time phylloxera struck. Historically, the area\u2019s vineyards had been planted to dozens of different wine grapes, but there was already a movement to prioritize the varieties in vogue today. That momentum got a bump during the oidium crisis; by the time of the 1855 Classification, Malbec, which demonstrated a high resistance to mildew, was quite dominant despite its notoriously irregular fruit set. Phylloxera changed all that, as both Carmen\u00e8re and Malbec proved difficult to graft and therefore lost real estate. Malbec still maintained a measurable presence in Bordeaux until the massive frost of 1956, when it was finally muscled out by more reliable and fashionable varieties.\nBurgundy boasted fewer varieties than most regions before phylloxera but still enjoyed far greater diversity than is seen today. In his book Pearl of the C\u00f4te, Allen Meadows reports that by 1878 (the year of the first phylloxera sighting in Burgundy), only 43% of the red grapes grown in the C\u00f4te d\u2019Or were Pinot Noir. The rest were Gamay. In addition, the interplanting of Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, and Aligote was common. During phylloxera, many less prestigious or Gamay-dominated \u00advineyards were left to languish, as only the top producers could afford the expensive CS2 injections that kept the louse at bay. Famously, the last vineyards to be replanted onto grafted vines in Burgundy were Domaine de la Roman\u00e9e-Conti\u2019s Roman\u00e9e-Conti and part of Richebourg. Both were pulled out in 1945, when the war made carbon disulfide impossible to come by, and were replanted in 1947.\nPhylloxera hit Champagne last; the bug wasn\u2019t discovered in the Aube until 1888. While a late discovery might seem like a blessing, as the mysteries of and remedies for phylloxera had been figured out by that point, the timing was actually unfortunate. Much of France\u2019s vineyard land had recovered by then, and production was once again robust. But France now had to contend with the international market that had sprung up during the infestation; suddenly, there was altogether too much wine. This glut resulted in an economic crisis, and many in Champagne couldn\u2019t afford to replant until after the turn of the century. Some were just getting started when World War I turned their vineyards into battlefields.\nTravails of war aside, Champagne experienced a similar makeover to that of France\u2019s other wine regions. Vineyard land both shrunk (by the 1920s, the area under vine in Marne was half of what it was prior to phylloxera) and changed in composition. The permitted varieties winnowed appreciably, but many consumers are unaware of the handful of more archaic grapes that remain legally allowed in Champagne. These varieties include Petite Meslier, Arbanne, Fromenteau (Pinot Gris), and Pinot Blanc. While they represent only a small amount of planted area, a dedicated group of producers make a point to celebrate them, such as Laherte Fr\u00e8res and Aubry. There are also a few patches of own-rooted vines scattered throughout Champagne. The most famous parcels are the walled vineyards in A\u00ff (Clos Chaude Terres and Clos St.-Jacques) that Bollinger uses to create its Vieilles Vignes Fran\u00e7aise bottling. Bollinger still farms these plots using the ancient system of provignage, which is quite laborious. Cyril Delarue, US Commercial Director for Bollinger, jokes that these small vineyards take the most work, requiring three to four times as much manual labor to cultivate.\nFraud & The Rise of the AOC System\nThe dramatic drop in production during the phylloxera infestation forced France to import a significant amount of wine. It also inspired a good deal of fraud. In addition to \u201craisin wine\u201d created from dried Greek and Turkish grapes, unscrupulous producers were making \u201csugar wine\u201d and \u201cpiquette,\u201d created by steeping pressed grape skins in water and fermenting. Merchants were also cutting corners, blending wines from various regions and countries and marketing them as being from specific estates or prestigious growing areas. Champagne was the most immune to this last type of fraud, as it was one of the few regions to sell the majority of its wine in bottles rather than casks. Bordeaux was the next to adopt that practice, and in 1924, Mouton, Haut Brion, and Margaux switched to estate bottling.\nFraud was not necessarily a new development in the French wine industry, though certainly the scale of fraudulent activity reached a new high during phylloxera. The issue was that once French wine production recovered in the late 1880s and 1890s, the financially battered producers couldn\u2019t compete against both international products and cheaply made faux wines. James Simpson, author of Creating Wine, posits that by 1890, raisin and sugar wines accounted for at least a sixth of French wine consumption. And these \u201cwines\u201d didn\u2019t just disappear once actual production began to rise. With the market flooded, prices plummeted, and great unrest was sown among the growers. In 1907, over half a million people marched on Montpellier, a protest of unprecedented size. The startled government took notice, and while it had already begun heavily taxing imports and attempting to mitigate fraud, it now turned its attention to the creation and protection of appellations.\nThe 1935 Appellation d\u2019Origine Contr\u00f4l\u00e9e provisions didn\u2019t sprout fully formed from the head of some official; they were the culmination of many small legal steps that began in the 1880s. First, wine was defined as being made from fresh grapes, then water additions were made illegal\u2014another hurdle to raisin wine production. Next, the government sought to legally demarcate specific growing areas, such as Champagne and Bordeaux, and prosecute merchants who misrepresented a wine\u2019s origin. Hybrids were then forbidden from inclusion in wines labeled with an appellation, and laws were passed that aimed to control viticulture and methods of production. While today the AOC system is sometimes decried as being too restrictive, none can deny its effectiveness at preserving regional identities and heritage. As a testimony to its success, it became the blueprint for almost every other appellation program established around the world.\nInternational Ramifications\nPrior to the triple American plagues of oidium, phylloxera, and peronospora (downy mildew), France was the world\u2019s largest producer and exporter of wine. Within the span of a single decade, the 1880s, France\u2019s phylloxera-induced wine deficit turned it into the world\u2019s largest importer of wine. This had a massive impact on the global wine industry, boosting existing regions and inspiring the creation of new ones, some of which were informed by French vintners who had fled their homeland in search of new beginnings. Of course, phylloxera eventually spread far beyond France, which complicated the international market tremendously. The differing responses of the variously affected nations make for an interesting study.\nOne of the first nations to benefit from France\u2019s crisis was Spain. France had looked to Spain to replenish its wine reserves since the first outbreak of oidium in the 1840s. Oidium had hit just prior to the development of Europe\u2019s now extensive rail system, so Spain\u2019s surge of viticultural growth was concentrated around major ports such as Alicante. As phylloxera came after the rails, wine regions in the center of the country could respond. Nationwide, Spain experienced a 40% growth in vineyard land between 1860 and 1888. As early as 1877, a preferential trade agreement was struck between the two nations, allowing for the easy flow of Spanish wine into France. According to Meloni and Swinnen, this allowed Spain to surpass France as the world\u2019s largest exporter of wines, with France its biggest client. Though much of the emphasis was on bulk wine, some quality regions emerged. One of the most important was Rioja, where the influence of Bordeaux was already established through the training of Luciano Marqu\u00e9s de Murrieta and Camilo Hurtado de Am\u00e9zaga (Marqu\u00e9s de Riscal) in the 1850s.\nTwo things ultimately served to stifle Spain\u2019s incredible growth. First, phylloxera crossed national borders, destroying a third of Spain\u2019s vineyards between the late 1880s and the first World War. Among the casualties were Priorat, which shrank from 5,000 to 600 hectares, and Navarra, which lost around 99% of its vines between 1891 and 1896. The other major blow came when French vineyards started to recover in the 1890s. With domestic production on the rise, imports became a liability, and France raised aggressive tariffs on Spanish wine in 1892. This was devastating to the Spanish economy, and vineyard land shrunk considerably in many regions.\nIt\u2019s arguable that these countries share not only a common language but also a mutual love of order and efficiency. For most nations, phylloxera\u2019s advance proved impossible to stop. But while colder regions have the advantage of a longer winter dormancy, it was ultimately the organized ruthlessness of the German and Swiss approach that spared their vineyards the worst of phylloxera. Once an infection was discovered inside Switzerland, the vineyard, surrounding vines, and land were treated with enough CS2 to kill the roots and therefore the food source. This was followed by a strict and extended period of quarantine. The German approach was similar, according to George Gale in Dying on the Vine, but with the added flair of a petroleum soak, vine bonfire, a second CS2 application, and a military cordon to guard the site during decontamination.\nGreece and France have a long history of trade, especially as it pertains to wine. But in the aftermath of phylloxera, Greece had a very specific role to play: supplying raisins to desperate winemakers lacking raw materials. Following the Greek War of Independence (1821\u20131832), Greece began exporting raisins to the British market for use in their puddings. While the British were formidable consumers, the French market that opened in the 1870s was insatiable. French winemakers would steep raisins in warm water and ferment the resulting liquid into something resembling wine. The demand became so great that Greek land dedicated to raisin production jumped from 24,000 hectares in the 1860s to 114,000 hectares in the 1880s, with much of the growth concentrated in the Peloponnese. This rapid increase cemented raisins as the dominant agricultural product of Greece, as well as their primary export.\nBut the recuperation of French vineyards in the late 1880s and the punishing tariffs and import limitations that they instigated in 1889 were devastating to the Greek economy. Per Wines of Greece, \u201cThe raisin crisis drove much of the agrarian population to abandon the countryside and seek a better life either in urban centers or in other countries. In some areas, such as the Peloponnese, this crisis resulted in severe social upheaval.\u201d Meanwhile, as farmers rioted in central Greece, phylloxera had crept into Greece\u2019s northern area by 1898. The pest quickly ravaged Macedonia and the area around Thessaloniki, and spread southward from there. Its progress was slow, however\u2014the louse didn\u2019t reach the Pelopponese until the 1960s, Crete until the 1970s. Records are imperfect, but local growers are convinced that countless rare indigenous grape varieties were permanently lost during the phylloxera crisis. Notably, Santorini remains phylloxera-free, hence its incredibly old vines and ancient method of cultivation.\nWhat transpired in French-controlled Algeria, Tunisia, and Morocco during and after phylloxera is both compelling and tragic. While a small wine industry already existed in North Africa, France\u2019s phylloxera invasion spurred sudden and dramatic growth. This was especially true in Algeria, a full colony (Tunisia and Morocco were French Protectorates). During the crisis, the French government offered subsidies for vignerons in the south of France to relocate to Africa and build up the wine industry, an opportunity seized upon by some 10,000 farmers and winemakers. In Algeria alone, land under vine expanded from 17,000 hectares in 1878 to more than 60,000 hectares in 1885.\nWith their vineyards rebounding, the French government enacted harsh trade deals with foreign countries in the late 1880s and 1890s, but as Algeria was considered a part of France, it was exempt from such penalties. Algeria\u2019s growth continued, and by 1960, it was the fourth largest wine producer in the world and the single largest exporter. That changed following Algerian Independence in 1962. Without easy access to the French market, demand plummeted, and Algeria\u2019s domestic consumption was too low to absorb the surplus. Within a relatively short span of time, much of the vineyard land was grubbed up and the once prosperous industry effectively collapsed.\nAustralia & South America\nAustralia takes phylloxera very seriously. According to Vinehealth Australia, a phylloxera watchdog group, 74% of South Australia\u2019s commercial wine grape vines are still planted on their own roots. This is a remarkable percentage, considering phylloxera found its way to Australian shores as early as 1877. As with Germany and Switzerland, the country managed to contain the threat via decisive and extreme actions. As soon as an infection was spotted, that vineyard was ripped up, the vines destroyed, and the land left fallow for many years. The strategy, known as \u201cdeath by extinction,\u201d was clearly a winning one. Today, Australia is divided into three zones: Phylloxera Exclusion Zones (PEZ), Phylloxera Risk Zones (PRZ), and Phylloxera Infected Zones (PIZ), with a five-kilometer vine-free buffer surrounding each zone of infection. So far, the bug has only been discovered in Victoria (where it did considerable damage), Queensland, and New South Wales, with the happy result that Australia boasts a high percentage of some of the world\u2019s oldest vines. Even so, the government remains admirably vigilant, conducting aerial scans every three to five years, searching for clusters of weakened vines.\nMeanwhile, down in South America, phylloxera has only a scant presence. It is effectively nonexistent in Chile and only menaces a few contained pockets of Argentina. South America was fortunate to receive its Bordeaux vine material just two decades before phylloxera hit, and only five years before the oidium outbreak. As in Australia, the majority of these nations\u2019 vines are own-rooted. Interestingly, Chile and Argentina\u2019s flagship grapes are Carmen\u00e8re and Malbec, the very varieties that were effectively booted out of Bordeaux for not grafting well. I asked a handful of nurserymen about this rumored disposition, and all assured me that today there is no problem grafting either vine type. Dr. Andrew Walker, Professor of Viticulture at UC Davis, offered the following conjecture, \u201cThere is no inherent genetic reason that a particular variety would reject a graft. That really only ever happens when either the scion or the rootstock is virused\u2014cells at the graft union will kill themselves off to avoid contamination. Both Malbec and Carmen\u00e8re were historically known to turn red in the autumn. That typically suggests at least some degree of virus. My guess is that the majority of 19th-century Malbec and Carmen\u00e8re were likely virused, and therefore hard to graft, while today\u2019s growers have access to clean plant material.\u201d\nNorth America, Then North America Again\nThough phylloxera is native to the United States, it was contained to the eastern half of the country until sometime in the 1850s or 1860s. Prior to its first official diagnosis in Agoston Haraszthy\u2019s Sonoma vineyard at Buena Vista in 1873, California\u2019s West Coast enjoyed over 100 years of own-rooted winemaking, rustic though it may have been. At first, the pest seemed to spread slowly, and vineyard land exploded during the 1880s. By the 1890s, however, the aphid had achieved critical mass and quickly undid much of the previous decade\u2019s accomplishments. In Napa Valley alone, vine plantations shrank from around 20,000 acres in the beginning of the decade to about 3,000 by its conclusion. In response, the California state legislature established an investigatory commission, and also asked the University of California to establish a viticulture department.\nThe devastation was not restricted to the north of the state by any means. While France\u2019s mistakes (flooding, CS2 reliance, poor rootstock recommendations) were incredulously repeated in California, phylloxera worked its way through the state. Though salvation eventually arrived in the form of the Rupestris St. George rootstock, any major recovery was forestalled by the terrible national economy and the increasingly influential temperance movement. And so, the briefly triumphant American wine industry limped along until Prohibition laid it temporarily to rest in 1920. Following 1933\u2019s Repeal, California wine had to start over from scratch, but multiple forces were aligned against it. The Great Depression, World War II, and a national preference for cocktails and sweet wine kept investment at bay. By the 1960s, things had started to look up, and a small but growing number of dedicated producers were crafting wines of serious merit. And after the 1976 Judgment of Paris, California experienced a wave a development that has yet to crest.\nThe dramatic growth of the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s seemed to herald the coming of a golden era for California wine. There was only one problem: some 60 to 70% of the new vineyards had been planted on an insufficiently resistant rootstock. In 1958, a report was published by viticulturalist Lloyd A. Lider that recommended AxR-#1 as a superior all-purpose rootstock to the finicky St. George. What the report failed to mention was that AxR-#1, a cross between a Aramon (vinifera) and rupestris, was susceptible to phylloxera. This particular chink in the armor had been documented by the French, the Sicilians, and the South Africans during the first wave of the global phylloxera epidemic, and again in a 1921 report by F.T. Bioletti of the University of California.\nThat AxR-#1 was ever recommended is baffling enough, but to make matters worse, nine years would pass between phylloxera\u2019s reemergence (1980) and UC Davis\u2019 official denouncement of the rootstock. By that time, it is estimated that around 50,000 acres of vines needed to be replanted, at a total cost of over one billion dollars. The silver lining of this tragedy was that California vintners could completely redesign their vineyards, which resulted in a refining of varieties statewide. Notably, 1991 saw Cabernet Sauvignon finally overtake Chardonnay as the most widely planted wine grape in Napa Valley.\nAnd yet, American optimism persisted. Oregon, whose wine industry really didn\u2019t get started until the 1970s, planted a significant amount of vines on their own roots before phylloxera was discovered there in 1990. And nearly all of Washington State\u2019s vineyards remain ungrafted and uninfected. Christophe Baron of Cayuse in Walla Walla thinks it\u2019s only a matter of time before phylloxera descends. \u201cI was the first to plant grafted vines in Walla Walla in 2000. I still farm lots of own-rooted vines, but don\u2019t feel comfortable putting all my eggs in one basket. I need to protect my investment!\u201d Many believe that Washington\u2019s dry conditions and extreme winters have also kept phylloxera at bay.\nDeconstructing Phylloxera\nWhile certainly a level of institutional neglect is responsible for California\u2019s double serving of phylloxera, part of the blame rests with some long-misunderstood elements of phylloxera\u2019s lifecycle, as well as its complex relationship to rootstocks. Fundamental to the enduring mysteries of phylloxera is the fact that it is a microscopic insect that spends much of its life underground. This makes it incredibly difficult to observe. According to UC Davis\u2019 Dr. Walker, much of the \u201cknown\u201d biology of phylloxera for the last 150 years was at least part conjecture, extrapolated from the lifecycles of similar aphids.\nMost accounts describe phylloxera\u2019s lifecycle in five phases, including both winged and subterranean forms, and both sexual and asexual modes of reproduction. Underneath the ground, an entirely female, wingless population of phylloxera feeds on roots, reproducing asexually to turn out massive numbers of clonal offspring. Late in the growing season, a number of phylloxera (again female) are born with wings and migrate above ground, possibly due to population pressure. Though these insects have wings, they possess no muscles to power them, so they use them more like sails and fan out on the breeze, landing on the leaves of some nearby vine. These phylloxera lay eggs in the leaves which hatch into both male and female forms. Interestingly, these offspring possess neither wings nor digestive organs\u2014they were conceived only to mate. Following intercourse, the male dies while the female lays a single egg in the bark of the vine, which winters over near a dormant bud. Meanwhile, the existing population of phylloxera is killed off by the winter cold. The egg hatches in the spring, producing a single wingless female who returns to the leaves to reproduce asexually. Sometime during the summer, a portion of her offspring returns underground to feed on the roots, starting the cycle all over again. Critically, as each female can lay up to 200 eggs at a time, only one insect is sufficient to spark a massive infestation.\nWhile much of the above has been proven true, a few of details are dubious. Dr. Walker claims that the so-called \u201cwinter eggs\u201d have rarely been observed in the wild, and what\u2019s more likely is that a small but hearty portion of the phylloxera population is able to hibernate through the winter. Males are also rarely seen, and are therefore unlikely to be a reliable annual occurrence. What\u2019s more likely, posits Dr. Walker, is that phylloxera acts in a similar way to nematodes, reproducing asexually until some environmental stress triggers the formation of a male. The purpose of this would be to induce genetic variance via sexual reproduction in the hopes of overcoming some difficulty, such as an incompatible food source.\nWhen AxR-#1 failed in California, scientists claimed that the fault resided in the development of a new strain of phylloxera, Biotype B. This theory was championed by several faculty members at UC Davis and then-graduate student Dr. Stephen Krebs. Dr. Walker eventually joined UC Davis, and began working on the phylloxera problem with a focus on their genetic diversity within California. \u201cIt became clear to me almost immediately that there wasn\u2019t so much a Biotype A and B, but many biotypes\u2014or, more correctly, strains.\u201d Each of these strains came with their own meal preferences, which made resistance fluid in concept.\n\u201cNo rootstock is fully resistant to phylloxera,\u201d Dr. Walker explains. \u201cPhylloxera does feed on the roots of American varieties, but only on the tiny feeder roots, which replenish so rapidly, the vine can survive.\u201d The fatal vulnerability of vinifera is that phylloxera can feed on its larger roots, causing swollen lumpy callouses called tuberosities. These often split, allowing various bacteria and fungi to infect the plant, ultimately killing it. \u201cIt is not phylloxera itself that kills the vine,\u201d Dr. Walker continues. \u201cPhylloxera is merely the agent provocateur that allows for the introduction of deadly pathogens.\u201d Curiously, vinifera leaves are relatively immune to damage from phylloxera, while native American leaves can become covered in galls, though this will not kill the vine. \u201cThere is an inverse immunity relationship between resistance at the root and leaf level among vine types,\u201d Dr. Walker adds.\nSo how did AxR-#1 survive so long before failing, and is Biotype B real or a government conspiracy? \u201cThe thing is,\u201d Dr. Walker says, \u201cafter the first infection, it really takes 10 to 20 years for a vine to die from phylloxera attack, as the decline is slow. Long before the leaves start to whither, the vine is infected. The earliest measurable symptom is a decline in potassium in the must.\u201d In that light, it is possible for a vine to survive in soils infected by phylloxera for a considerable amount of time. Also, the lifespan can be indefinite if the local population of phylloxera is not able to feed on the large roots. Though most of phylloxera\u2019s reproductive cycle results in perfect clones, the odd sexual combination can result in the generation of increased genetic diversity. If a strain of phylloxera develops that is suddenly able to feed on a given vine\u2019s major roots, it\u2019s just a matter of time before the population reaches a fatal tipping point. While many viticulturalists might view this as paranoid, Dr. Walker insists the potential danger is real. \u201cI\u2019ve isolated strains that are capable of feeding on the root tips of almost all rootstocks, including many that are considered highly resistant. We don\u2019t know whether this level of feeding has always been present or whether it evolved after many years in vineyards, but it bears studying and preparing for more aggressive strains of phylloxera.\u201d\nWith phylloxera, there are no absolutes. Much of the pest\u2019s behavior depends on its environment. Just as it cannot thrive in too sandy a soil, phylloxera\u2019s dormant season is greatly extended in cold climates, and the resulting truncated growing season means fewer reproductive cycles for phylloxera, and therefore fewer bugs. Similarly, climates with very dry summers like in California will suppress the winged form, which also slows the advance. John Williams of Frog\u2019s Leap claims that farming can also be a factor. \u201cI am of the belief that it was the widespread use of drip irrigation that made the phylloxera infestation in the 1980s so deadly.\u201d When Williams had purchased his Red Barn Ranch, the vineyard was planted on AxR-#1 and was in rough shape. By converting it to dry farming, his vines lasted far longer than for many of his colleagues. \u201cDrip irrigation raises the rooting zone of a vine closer to the surface,\u201d explains Williams, \u201cwhich is where phylloxera lives.\u201d\nWhether or not you view Dr. Walker\u2019s warnings as realistic, history is replete with teachable moments about not dropping one\u2019s guard around phylloxera. At the very least, it is worthwhile to keep the conversation going. \u201cI don\u2019t give any talks on phylloxera now because no one cares anymore,\u201d laments Dr. Walker. \u201cBut they should!\u201d\nLe Go\u00fbt Am\u00e9ricain\nPhylloxera irrevocably changed the world of wine, but did it alter wine itself? The answer to this question lies in whether you believe that grafted vines produce different-tasting fruit than own-rooted vines.\n\u201cI can confirm to you that when you use American roots, you change the taste of the wine,\u201d Lo\u00efc Pasquet asserts. Pasquet is a bit of renegade in Bordeaux. His brand, Liber Pater, works with own-rooted vines, high-density planting, and historic varieties (for example Castet, Marnay Coolant, and Saint Macaire) in order to recreate the type of wine produced at the time of the 1855 Classification. With grafted wines, he says, \u201cOne cannot make a vin de terroir, only a varietal wine. For example, Cabernet Sauvignon was created for gravelly soil with oceanic weather. If you use ungrafted Cabernet Sauvignon, it can only do well in these conditions. If you graft, you can plant anywhere, but you lose the specificity of c\u00e9page [or] terroir. You lose the true taste of the wine.\u201d\nAllen Meadows has more experience tasting pre-phylloxera Burgundies than most. \u201cI would argue that there is a difference in wines made from grafted and ungrafted vines,\u201d Meadows admits. \u201cBut it\u2019s less about taste than texture. There is a different density and weight, and it\u2019s almost as if the tannins themselves have a different quality.\u201d The difficulty, he says, is in knowing whether that variance is from grafting or is a result of the differences in vine age, density, and training. Still, he\u2019s inclined to finger the graft. \u201cIf you really believe that a vine has a life below ground and a life above ground, and the one below feeds and nourishes the vines, it seems to me that making such a fundamental change to the structure of the vine would result in a measurable difference in the taste of the wine.\u201d\nChristophe Baron of Walla Walla\u2019s Cayuse is one of the few people who are regularly able to compare wines from own-rooted and grafted examples of the same variety, with roughly the same vine age, planted on identical soils. He agrees with Meadows that the difference is primarily textural. \u201cWhen you read old articles or texts about pre-phylloxera wines, they always talk about that smooth velvety quality in the mouthfeel, on the palate. And that is really what it is. My grafted vines are completely different; the wines have more tension, more grip. And this is true across a range of red varieties.\u201d\nUnder the umbrella of the Turley label, Tegan Passalacqua (whose social media handle, @ownrooted, indicates his level of interest in the matter) works with several old vine vineyards, both grafted and ungrafted. He also believes that grafting can change the taste of a wine, but takes it one step further by proposing that different rootstocks will do this in different ways. \u201cThe main thing I can speak to is Zinfandel. And the biggest thing with Zinfandel is that own-rooted vines tend to ripen more evenly inside the cluster.\u201d This, he believes, is because the St. George rootstock\u2014upon which most old vine Zinfandel is planted\u2014is notorious for uneven fruit set. He also thinks that Wente clone Chardonnay, so highly regarded for producing \u201cshot\u201d berries (small, seedless grapes with a high skin-to-juice ratio), owes at least part of its reputation to its long association with St. George. \u201cPeople tend to focus on the clones when discussing wines, but the rootstock can either magnify or reduce a given clone\u2019s tendencies dramatically.\u201d Indeed, aside from disease resistance, some of the factors a rootstock can influence include vigor, evenness of ripening, timing of ripening, and nutritional uptake. The results may be subtle, but variances in any of those categories is bound to alter the final impression of the wine.\nNot everyone is convinced that grafting alters the taste of wine in a significant way, or at least to a more profound degree than that seen between different clones and rootstocks. Napa Valley viticulturalist and winemaker Steve Matthiasson says, \u201cI think it is a myth that own-rooted vines are in a different category than rootstocks. Yes, they are a different root system\u2026but all rootstocks are different from any other rootstock. Own-rooted vines are grown from cuttings, just like rootstocks, so it is already an unnatural root architecture compared to a plant that grew from a seed that started with a tap root.\u201d Matthiasson continues, \u201cThis question of rootstock versus own-rooted was debated in France for [over] 75 years back in the 1800s, and the conclusion was that rootstocks show terroir just as well. Rootstocks can help with sustainable [agriculture] by being more drought- or pest-tolerant (beside the obvious phylloxera tolerance), so I hate them getting a bad rap. It\u2019s like dry farming versus deficit irrigation, or organic versus biodynamic. There needs to be a place for being reasonable and focusing on important stuff like pesticide use, habitat, soil conservation, labor issues, [and so on].\u201d\nTyler Thomas, winemaker for Dierberg and Star Lane Vineyards in Santa Barbara, cautions against overly romanticizing the subject. \u201cThe discussion of own-rooted versus grafted vines remind me of the old vines versus young vines debate, in which the default romantic position is that old vines make better wine.\u201d He continues, \u201cIn my career, sometimes I have been able to taste the difference between old and young vines from the same vineyard and sometimes I can\u2019t. As with own-rooted vines, I believe it is a case-by-case issue. And one of the reasons that old vines are kept is because they historically performed well. Underperforming vines would likely have been ripped out before achieving great age, so there is a kind of pre-selection. As wine lovers, we sometimes forget to apply that kind of logic.\u201d\nNo matter where you stand on the qualitative debate, it\u2019s hard not to feel curious about these relics from our vinous past. Fortunately for wine lovers, there exist enough pockets of the world where phylloxera has not penetrated\u2014Canary Islands, Chile, Contra Costa County, Colares (and those are just the C\u2019s!)\u2014that we can still experience the taste of wines planted on their own roots. Such portals to the past are slowly closing, however. As recently as 2005, one of Bollinger\u2019s ancient vineyards succumbed to phylloxera, and even where sandy soils forbid the louse, threats such as real estate development and the financial pressure to plant higher producing or more popular varieties loom. Pre-phylloxera bottles from classic regions are becoming increasingly difficult to find, and recent fraudulent activity has hobbled confidence in those that remain.\nI have been lucky enough in my time as a sommelier to try pre-phylloxera bottlings of Bordeaux and Burgundy on a handful of occasions. And the few tablespoons I enjoyed were magical enough to make me immediately nostalgic for a period of time with which I have no real connection. Still, it was the romance of their rarity that transported me, rather than a discernible difference in taste, per se. And yet, when I think of those wines today, I daydream of a world in which even a faint attempt at quarantine in the 19th century might have preserved some of the ancient ways. Considering the monumental impact of phylloxera, the world would be a very different place. Who knows? Maybe no serious wine list would be complete without a vertical of Gouget Noir from central France. And maybe it would be considered classic instead of fringe. We can\u2019t say for sure. All we can do to connect to that diminishing heritage is to seek out those rare bottles and the few remaining phylloxera-free regions. We can raise our glasses, contemplate the wines\u2019 texture on our tongues, and toast the forces beneath our feet that we can\u2019t see for squinting but can make the whole world jump.\nNote: For the purposes of this article, the term \u201chybrid\u201d only refers to crosses between European and American varieties. There are many popular hybrids created through crossing two different vinifera vine types, and almost all rootstocks are hybrids of different American vine types, typically some combination of vitis rupestris, vitis riparia, and vitis berlandieri.\nThe White Wines of Friuli\nBolivian Wine: A New Voice in South America",

CHRIS LEE, SEN. KARL RHOADS WITH COMMON CAUSE AND THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS\nWHAT: Press conference to discuss HB1581 HD1 and SB150 SD1 requiring presidential candidates to release their tax returns in order to appear on the Hawaii ballot\nWHEN: Wednesday, March 8 10 a.m.\nWHERE: At the Eternal Flame Memorial across Beretania Street from the Hawaii State Capitol\nState Representative Chris Lee and State Senator Karl Rhoads join Common Cause the League of Women Voters, and other stakeholders to announce the passage of HB1581 out of the House and SB150 out of the Senate. Both bills require presidential candidates to release their tax returns in order to appear on the ballot or secure the vote of Hawaii electors.\n\u201cThe president and vice president are the only federal offices exempt from conflict of interest laws, so the only way to be sure the president is making decisions in the nation\u2019s interest rather than his own businesses is to transparently disclose his financial interests,\u201d said Rep. Lee.\n\u201cFor decades presidential candidates have publically released their tax returns. The information is valuable to voters when they decide who to vote for President and Vice President. That\u2019s why I introduced the Senate bill.\u201d said Sen. Rhoads.\nExamples of potential conflicts of interest have already been widely reported in the media, such as President Trump\u2019s partial investment in the parent companies of the firm building the Dakota Access pipeline, a situation in which the president intervened upon taking office. However, other conflicts that could compromise decision-making may not be as apparent unless additional information from the president\u2019s tax returns is made public.\nAccording to President Trump\u2019s financial disclosure, he has investments in or owns companies in at least 20 different countries. Unlike his domestic business, President Trump could run afoul of the emoluments clause in the U.S. Constitution by continuing to profit off these deals. In addition to emoluments, the president\u2019s foreign policy decisions could be called into question in any country in which the Trump Organization does business, for example by exempting countries with Trump Organization presence from a travel ban executive order.\nFiled under: Announcements, Hawaii, Legislature, National Affairs | Tagged: Hawaii House and senate Become First in Nation to Pass Bills Requiring Presidential Candidates to Release Tax Returns | Leave a comment \u00bb\nBotanical World Adventures Wins Awards\nTwo popular local attractions have been recognized by frequent travelers and readers of a prominent magazine.

These measures reflect the focus of the House majority on improving the lives of the people in Hawaii.\n\u201cAmong the many needs that we are addressing this session is helping our low- and middle-income families ease their financial burden and increase rental and affordable housing support for them,\u201d said House Speaker Joseph M.

        "raw_content": "\u201cMy daughter was at a point in her academic career that she had lost complete faith in herself and her ability to understand math. She is such a bright, kind, and amazing girl, but had absolutely no confidence in her ability to learn. A friend of mine had given me Darci\u2019s information, but I was skeptical. We had tried tutors before, but so many of them said the same thing. They told me that she just was not paying attention, not trying. No one could break down the walls that my daughter had built in defense of her failure. I called Darci, and from her first appointment, my daughter started to see hope again. She felt that Darci was on her team. My daughter has found faith in herself\u2026she has discovered that she can learn. We have Darci to thank for that.\u201d ~E.S. (USA)\n\u201cDarci was the perfect tutor for my son. He has a special learning disability related to epilepsy and has a hard time learning to express himself with words. Writing papers, taking tests, and self-expression of any kind has always been difficult for him. Darci has a unique ability to turn all that frustration into productive thinking, high ability test taking and word organization. I was so impressed and amazed at the work she inspired him to produce.\u201d ~A.C. (USA)\n\u201cDarci made such an impact on my children\u2019s learning. My son in particular, has several learning disabilities and within a couple sessions with Darci he was able to recognize words and start beginning reading. It was beyond anything I had expected. Darci instilled a confidence in the children and the method was simple and fun for us to work on at home. Her method empowered the children and gave them an excitement for learning.\u201d ~D.R.

        "raw_content": "About UNICEF Data and Analytics\nSmart demand, supply and use of data drives better results for children. When the right data are in the right hands at the right time, decisions can be better informed, more equitable and more likely to protect children\u2019s rights.\nThis website is a gateway to reliable and open data and analysis on the situation of children and women worldwide.\nFor the past 20 years, UNICEF has led global efforts to generate, analyse and share data for children.\nOver the past 20 years, UNICEF has supported governments to generate, analyse and use many different forms of data, from longstanding and statistically robust household survey programmes to government administrative data and new forms of community feedback mechanisms. All of these data are within the scope of UNICEF\u2019s Data for Children Strategic Framework, which provides guidance to countries on investing in data demand, supply and use.\nUNICEF has also worked extensively on the development of indicators for national and international development goals and targets related to the well-being of children and women. These successful efforts include establishing baselines and monitoring progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals as well as their precursor, the Millennium Development Goals, the World Fit for Children Declaration and Plan of Action, the United Nations General Assembly Special Session on HIV/AIDS and the African Summit on Malaria.\nPlacing children at the centre of the new development agenda \u2013 the Sustainable Development Goals\nUNICEF is committed to supporting Member States\u2019 data collection and analysis for children in the SDG era. The organisation has established extensive global databases and developed and tested new indicators, methods and standards to monitor progress for every child. In addition to the 17 global SDG indicators for which UNICEF is custodian or co-custodian, UNICEF supports the collection and reporting of a wide range of other child-related indicators relevant for monitoring progress at national, regional and global levels.\nMany of the measurement techniques developed by UNICEF and its partners during the MDG period have also been integrated within the SDG global indicator framework, placing children firmly at the centre of the new development agenda.\nThe Data and Analytics team has 4 units:\nUNICEF supports countries\u2019 collection of data related to children and women through Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS), an international household survey programme. Since its inception in the mid-1990s, five rounds of MICS have been completed and a sixth is now under way. Close to 300 surveys have been implemented in more than 100 low- and middle-income countries. Each round of surveys builds upon the last and offers new indicators to monitor trends and current priorities.\nThe MICS programme is designed to collect statistically sound, internationally comparable data on more than 100 indicators used by countries to assess the situation of children and women in the areas of education, health, gender equality, rights and protection. Firmly embedded in the statistical plans of many governments, it also provides data required to monitor progress towards national and international goals and commitments aimed at promoting the welfare of children.\nWith the largest coverage of SDG indicators among all survey programmes, the MICS programme built a reputation as a leader in new methodologies of data collection and new technologies. It has pioneered the development and implementation of new measurement tools in several areas, and is currently developing a module to address the information gap on populations after an emergency.\nAs part of the MICS global programme, UNICEF provides technical support and training through a series of regional workshops covering questionnaire content, sampling and survey implementation, data processing, data quality and analysis, report writing, data archiving and dissemination and further analysis.\nData Analysis and Innovation\nUNICEF maintains a series of global databases for tracking the situation of children and women globally. The databases include only statistically sound and nationally representative data from household surveys and other sources. They are updated annually through a process that draws on a wealth of data maintained by UNICEF\u2019s network of 140 country offices.\nDeveloping new methodologies\nUNICEF plays a leadership role in several inter-agency monitoring groups on specific topics. Together with its inter-agency partners, UNICEF helps devise new methodologies, indicators and monitoring tools, build statistical capacity at the country level, develop joint estimates, and harmonise monitoring work across partners. UNICEF has also led the development of new indicators and methodologies for gathering relevant data on a number of priority issues, including education, child labour, child disability, child mortality, maternal mortality, water and sanitation, low birthweight, antenatal care, pneumonia, malaria, iodine deficiency disorder, female genital mutilation/cutting and adolescents.\nAnalysing data for evidence-based programming\nUNICEF\u2019s work in data analysis highlights trends and emphasises patterns found within the data. It also suggests how these data can be used strategically to inform programmatic efforts. Where possible, data are disaggregated by gender, age, residence, household income, education, and other key social and demographic variables to help uncover possible risk factors and inequities. UNICEF also promotes the advancement of research through the development of joint projects and collaboration with academic institutions and other agencies working at the national and international level.\nBuilding capacity and supporting countries on promoting the demand for and use of data\nUNICEF\u2019s MICS programme provides in-country technical assistance and leadership to local researchers and organizations, thereby contributing to the improvement of national monitoring systems for children and women. UNICEF also conducts regional workshops on specialised topics in conjunction with government counterparts to enhance their capacity to understand, interpret, analyse, disseminate and use statistics.\nData Architecture and Communication\nThe Data Architecture and Communication team builds data platforms and works towards increasing the reach and use of data through data driven communication products:\nRecent publications include: Progress for Every Child in the SDG era, Joint Child Malnutrition Estimates and Child Marriage: Latest trends and future prospects\nTo facilitate the use of data to glean insights, drive evidence-based change and ultimately create value for children, UNICEF has been a suite of interactive digital maps and graphs featuring the latest data on children across programmatic areas.\nStatistical profiles of individual countries present data on key child-related indicators and facilitate data access at the country level for government institutions, their development partners and the general public.\nUNICEF aims to provide a modern data warehouse and data production architecture covering work in robust data (outcome and impact data). This includes streamlining the work of compiling and analysing data but also making data more accessible through interoperability and by providing modern and flexible data visualization.\nWhen the right data are in the right hands at the right time, decisions can be better informed, more equitable, and more likely to protect children\u2019s rights. The Data for Action team is working to generate a profound cultural shift towards this vision. Real, lasting organizational change happens by movement, not mandate and the Data for Action team leads by teaching, inspiring and empowering UNICEF staff around the world to use data to better reach and improve the lives of children. It is institutionalizing the Data for Children Strategic Framework, responding to frequently found challenges in putting data to use, raising the skills floor on data work in the organization, and developing a science of delivery for administrative and humanitarian data efforts.

        "raw_content": "Top Veterinary Articles of the Week: Masticatory Myositis, At-Home Euthanasia, Reverse Sneezing, and more ...\nMasticatory Myositis in Dogs \u2013 When Chewing Hurts!\nMasticatory myositis is a fancy term for inflammation of chewing muscles. Can you imagine that? Eating should not hurt but that's what happens if a dog suffers from this condition. It's a type of auto-immune disease and it sucks. With Jasmine, at one time the vet suspected she had this. It turned out, however, that she had arthritis in her jaws instead. That poor girl had arthritis everywhere.\nJasmine fit the bill, including being one of the susceptible breeds. I was glad that diagnosis was eventually ruled out; arthritis was easier to deal with.\nIf you want to learn more about this condition, read Dr. Byers' insightful article.\nEuthanasia Outside of the Veterinary Hospital\n\"More and more veterinarians are dedicating their house-call practices to providing an in-home euthanasia service.\" ~Dr. Nancy Kay\nThere was a time when one couldn't even dream of having their dog euthanized at home. When the time came, you had to take your dog to a vet, period. Over time, this is changing.\nWhen we realized we weren't going to put Jasmine through any more suffering, home euthanasia was what I wanted to do. This wasn't my original plan; all along I sought for Jasmine to be able to spend her last moments where she was the happiest - some place in the woods. I was sure that her vet would be willing to go along with that. However, that fateful day, everything conspired against Jasmine. Not only her own body but even the elements. It was mid-April, but we had freezing rain. Every inch outside was covered with ice. If she was just nonambulatory, we could have driven her to the woods and carried her to a beautiful place. That, however, was not an option in the weather we had that day.\nMy second best option would have been letting her go at home. But for the same reasons, it was too dangerous for her vet to drive all the way to our place; not that he wouldn't. We had no choice than driving Jasmine to the closest vet hospital. Fortunately, she was familiar with that place also, because she was getting her physical therapy there. She passed peacefully, but it was not at all what I wanted for her last moments.\nDr. Kay has many profound thoughts and comments on at-home euthanasia. I encourage you to read her article.\nWhat Dog Owners Need to Know about Reverse Sneezing\nEpisodes or reverse sneezing can be very scary when you don't know what is going on. When Jasmine had it for the first time, I was freaking out. Once you learn what it is, it's not as scary anymore.\nReverse sneezing is a result of irritation of soft palate. This can be caused by many things. However, if it is severe or ongoing, I'd want to make sure nothing sinister behind the irritation.\nIn his article, Dr. Becker explains what it is and what it looks like.\nHow to Examine Your Dog at Home (and When to See a Vet)\nThis article describes some routine things everybody should be doing for their dog regularly. Looking for lumps, bumps, and irritations (and don't forget ticks!), checking inside the mouth, monitoring body weight, and checking vital signs. At least every now and then one should practice checking vital signs just to know how it's done as well as having a baseline for when things are not the way they should be.\nThis, of course, does not substitute regular wellness exams with a veterinarian; there is so much more they can learn from a thorough physical exam alone. But it is a good habit to keep. It also helps your dog get used to being handled, an advantage for veterinary appointments.\nCare of Hair in a Shih Tzu Dog",

        "raw_content": "ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT OF INTERNATIONAL, EUROPEAN AND AREA STUDIES\nAs the history of the University serves to indicate the study of international affairs and, in particular, of international law, has been an integral part of the University's research and teaching since its establishment. So, although relatively new, the department builds on a longstanding and excellent tradition. This tradition was first systematised in the pre-war period by the presence of the one of the greatest Greek experts in international law, Stelios Seferiadis.\nFrom very early on, International Law was a core part of the curriculum in the then Panteion School. In 1963-64, a course on International Relations was introduced into the curriculum of the Political Sciences Department by the Professor of International Law, G. Tenekidis, later with the aid of university assistant G. Kranidiotis, who subsequently became Deputy Foreign Minister. Thus, the courses: \"Public International Law\", \"Diplomatic History\", \"Special Issues of International Law\" and \"International Relations\" paved the way for developments that led to the current curriculum.\nThis core of courses developed impressively following the restoration of democracy in 1974, when International Relations was chiefly expanded and established as a field of knowledge. The rapid expansion of the School's research and teaching base in International Relations during the 1980s, was also related to wider socio-political developments within the country and to pressing policy needs emanating from a rapidly changing international system and the country's position in it. Undoubtedly, the decade of the 1980's marked a blossoming of International Relations on a national scale. Apart from G. Tenekidis, this transition was initially guided and served by Professors: Sp. Kalogeropoulos-Stratis, A.-B. Papakostas and later Professors: Ch. Rozakis - currently Vice-President of the European Court of Human Rights, Th. Christodoulides and D. Konstas.\nPanteion University gained a predominant position in this rapidly expanding academic landscape. The Department of Political Science and International Studies, which had already been founded in 1983, created a complete and balanced curriculum of courses in International Studies, with legal and political directions that were then pioneering. Indeed, it is no coincidence that in the field of International Studies, Panteion has served as an example for other Greek universities that have acquired an equivalent department.\nToday the department enjoys a vibrant academic culture that that is well-established and consciously sustained. The departmental curriculum has a strong interdisciplinary character that responds to the modern needs of the country's participation in the European and international process from a legal and political viewpoint, without neglecting the economic aspect of International Relations and, of course, European Integration. It should also be noted that a strong characteristic of the curriculum is the systematic study of both theory and practical experience on a national and international level.",

        "raw_content": "You may not know this, but I use to be an MC. An \u2018ill\u2019 MC.\nMy rhymes, my delivery, my wordplay were masterful (I guess back then I would have said funky fresh or dope,right? Educated Negroes\u2026) When I was seventeen, graduated from high school and enrolled in a junior college, I still had my eyes set on becoming a hip hop superstar. A good friend of mine hooked me up with, who I thought at the time, was the best DJ in Kansas City. He was the producer and DJ for a group called the Kool-Aid Crew, DJ Doc Scratch aka Eric Allen. He was five years my senior so I thought I was big time. Hooking up with Doc and becoming a dynamic duo? You couldn\u2019t tell me a damn thing!\nHe had his own make shift studio in the basement, and I\u2019d go over there when I got off of work at 11:30 PM from washing dishes at a nursing home. We\u2019d spend the first two hours of the night just listening to beats he had made or digging in the crates. I LOVED digging in the crates! Going through milk carton after milk carton of classic R&B, gospel, jazz, and pop records was one of my favorite past times. This was when sampling was an art form, a craft; painstakingly listening for snares, high hats, vocal riffs, bass lines, and mellowed horn sections took skill and I took great pride in it.\nOne of the first songs that I sampled was entitled \u201cConvert Action\u201d from one of the most pioneering jazz collectives of the seventies. The Crusaders. They, along with Herbie Hancock, Grover Washington Jr. and a handful of others did an excellent job of fusing traditional jazz rhythms and the popular funk sound of the time. As you watched Saturday morning cartoons,and your mother hung clothes on the line in the backyard to dry, the Crusaders was the band playing behind Randy Crawford as she told you about the pulse and rhythm of the Street Life. Ironically, in my junior year in college, while working at a Camelot Records store over the summer I met the Crusaders\u2019 high school music teacher from Houston. I\u2019ll explain what a record store is in another post,kids. (or as Prince called it in \u2018Under The Cherry Moon\u2019, wrecka- stow).\n(L to R: Stix Hooper, Wilton Felder, Wayne Henderson, Joe Sample)\nI was introduced to their classic albums like Southern Comfort, Unsung Heroes, and The Second Crusade, but the music teacher went on and on about how masterful the album Images was. He was right. Although I love Southern Comfort, Images has been sampled a ton by artist such as A Tribe Called Quest, Big L, Tyrese,etc. And to commemorate the recent passing of brother Wilton Felder (Saxophone player and founding member of the Crusaders), the record were sharing today is my second favorite Crusader joint of all time, and the song that made me a huge fan of the band and Joe Sample (co founder and pianist). My number one Crusader record is A Ballad For Joe Louis from Southern Comfort. You just have to take out an afternoon to peruse their catalog for yourself. Click the pic above of the band to check out Convert Action. Click the pic of the Images cover for another classic joint entitled Marcella\u2019s Dream.\nNow go buy your mother one of those front loading dryers. A nice one. Nobody hangs clothes on the line in the backyard anymore.",

        "raw_content": "Minor Transactions: 10/31/18\nIt\u2019s Halloween and the NHL has just a single game on tap, as the Chicago Blackhawks will take on the Vancouver Canucks this evening. As teams hand out tricks or treats to their fringe roster players, we\u2019ll be right here to keep track of all the movement.\nVille Husso has been returned to the minor leagues by the St. Louis Blues, after Jake Allen rejoined the team at practice. Allen\u2019s injury is apparently not as serious as originally feared, meaning Husso can go back to starting for the San Antonio Rampage for now. The 23-year old goaltender is still waiting for his first shot at the NHL, but has to clean up his game at the AHL level first.\nColby Cave , who was up on emergency conditions for the Boston Bruins, has been returned to the AHL . Cave, who played three games for the Bruins last season, is a hugely important forward for the AHL\u2019s Providence Bruins, but was only brought up as insurance for some of the banged up NHL players. He\u2019ll likely see some game action with Boston later on this season, but for now will return and try to extend his excellent start to the year.\nThe Minnesota Wild have reassigned Matt Read to the AHL, after seeing him play just five games in the NHL. The veteran forward will be used as an extra man this season and bounce up and down, clearing waivers when required.\nWade Megan has been recalled by the Detroit Red Wings , while Joe Hicketts is on his way back to the Grand Rapids Griffins. This is Megan\u2019s first recall of the season after clearing waivers just before the end of training camp. The 28-year old forward has four points in eight games with the Griffins, and will be looking to play just his fifth career NHL game if he can get into the Detroit lineup.\nThe Los Angeles Kings have sent Austin Wagner and Sean Walker back to the Ontario Reign, partly as a cap-saving move. The Kings find themselves pressed right up against the cap ceiling given their current roster, and are trying to save space by sending players down on short term assignments. The team will likely recall a forward before tomorrow\u2019s game against the Philadelphia Flyers, though since they\u2019re in a long homestand could use the proximity of Ontario to their advantage and remain at a roster of 21 for as long as possible.\nThe New York Islanders have recalled Christopher Gibson under emergency conditions as Robin Lehner is dealing with a minor injury. Sending Tom Kuhnhackl down to the minor leagues in his place could mean that Cal Clutterbuck is ready to return, but for now the focus is on the goaltending position and how long Lehner will be out. Coach Barry Trotz didn\u2019t believe it was a serious injury , but with Lehner playing so well to start the season it\u2019s tough to see him taken off the ice at all.\nAaron Ness has been recalled by the Washington Capitals , while Travis Boyd has been sent down on a long-term injury conditioning loan. With Brooks Orpik dealing with a minor injury, Ness will serve as insurance for any pregame injuries.\nThe Carolina Hurricanes announced that they\u2019ve recalled defenseman Haydn Fleury from Charlotte of the AHL.\u00c2 The 22-year-old played in four games with the Checkers while on loan from Carolina and while he may once again be the odd man out on their back end to start, he\u2019ll at least be in better game shape when called upon.",

Johnson, Dartmouth College\nE Andres Houseman, Oregon State University\nJessica E. King, Dartmouth College\nKatharine M. von Herrmann, Dartmouth College\nGlioblastomas exhibit widespread molecular alterations including a highly distorted epigenome. Here, we resolve genome-wide 5-methylcytosine and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine in glioblastoma through parallel processing of DNA with bisulfite and oxidative bisulfite treatments. We apply a statistical algorithm to estimate 5-methylcytosine, 5-hydroxymethylcytosine and unmethylated proportions from methylation array data. We show that 5-hydroxymethylcytosine is depleted in glioblastoma compared with prefrontal cortex tissue. In addition, the genomic localization of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine in glioblastoma is associated with features of dynamic cell-identity regulation such as tissue-specific transcription and super-enhancers. Annotation of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine genomic distribution reveal significant associations with RNA regulatory processes, immune function, stem cell maintenance and binding sites of transcription factors that drive cellular proliferation. In addition, model-based clustering results indicate that patients with low-5-hydroxymethylcytosine patterns have significantly poorer overall survival. Our results demonstrate that 5-hydroxymethylcytosine patterns are strongly related with transcription, localizes to disease-critical genes and are associated with patient prognosis.\nJohnson, Kevin C.; Houseman, E Andres; King, Jessica E.; and von Herrmann, Katharine M., \"5-Hydroxymethylcytosine localizes to enhancer elements and is associated with survival in glioblastoma patients\" (2016).

        "raw_content": "Although many speculate, no one can accurately predict exactly what will be the next big consumer trend and what the future holds.\nCombine this with a tempestuous technological environment being further rocked by the uncertainty of Anglo-European relations, the need for future-proofing your business has never been so important.\nAccording to recent research, mobile accounted for 41% of retail revenues in the UK last Christmas. Unsurprisingly, with smartphone shopping on the rise, it looks set to be a key area of focus for marketers in the year ahead.\nWhile being mobile-friendly is not the only priority for online retailers, it is however, a key one which would shape the future growth curve. According to Econsultancy's latest Digital Trends in Retail Report, retailers are striving to improve customer experience across the board. Where mobile optimisation is a top-three digital tactical priority for 23% of retailers.\nTo make your online business future proof, you need to have a robust mobile strategy that includes, design, usability, personalisation and leveraging native platform specific technologies. For a lot of SME\u2019s it is challenging to embark on this journey as quite often they might not have the skills or resources available to lead this process. This often results in investment that lacks strategic direction and above all continuity. I can't emphasise enough on having a strategic roadmap, and a robust monitoring process.\nHere is a simple step-by-step guide to help you get going.\n1. Collect user behaviour data from your website and other online marketing activity. This might include analytics data, heat map data, click maps and scroll map.\nGather data from every resource possible to understand what your target customers are looking for and what challenges you need to overcome to improve on your conversion. While Google's analytics system is free, the other tools are not, but investing in a good tool that can collect real-time customer data is going to have to return significant value. If you are not sure about how to put the data together, take some expert help to set it up. It will be just an one off cost that again will give you a fantastic return on your investment.\n2. Combine the data to create an overall view of customer behaviour\nOnce the tools are in place, the next stage is to put the data together to create a 360 degree view. Depending upon your business this\nmight be overwhelming, but my suggestion would be to adapt an \u201cevolve and learn\u201d approach rather than try to do too much without a very clear understanding of the data and the potential pitfalls. Just agree on some high and low-level KPIs, monitor those and ensure it evolves with your needs.\n3. Analyse the data to identify road blocks or challenges that are impacting your goals\nYou should get some expert help if you do not have this skill set in-house. This step could be a real eye opener where you are looking at customer behaviour and identify barriers and road blocks. Once you clearly established the challenge, the next task would be to come up with some potential solutions that you can test to identify which one works for you. At the initial stage, this could bring really quick benefits and could have a big impact.\n4. Deal with the top 3 issues and derive a plan to overcome them\nIn the initial phase, the number of actionable items coming out of the data analysis could be an overwhelmingly long one. Depending upon the severity and available resource, a more productive approach would be to deal with the top 3 items every month. This will keep the focus and it will be easier to measure the impact.\n5. Implement the solution, measure the change\nBefore you implement or test the solution it is critically important to have a process in place to measure the impact of the change. Do not try to implement more than one change at a time if possible, this will help you to understand the impact of the immediate change.\n6. Learn from it, if you have achieved your goal then pick up the next set of challenges\nIt is all going be a massive learning curve. Every stage of the process will uncover new information for you, so learn as much as you can and apply the new knowledge in the next iteration.\n7.

        "raw_content": "<< Previous Document in the Previous Volume | Next Document in This Volume >>\nPreface to Volume 19 of the State Records of North\tCarolina\nPREFATORY NOTES.\nThis volume of the State Records contains the Journals of the Senate for the sessions of April, 1782, and April, 1783, and October, 1784; and the Journals of the House for the sessions of April, 1783, of April, 1784, and October, 1784.\nThere is also a list of the members of the House given for the sessions from 1777 to 1782, and an Appendix, which gives Tryon\u2019s Journal of March, 1771, Council Journal 1781, the correspondence between General Joseph Graham and Judge Murphey, and other matters.\nThese proceedings of the Assembly indicate the work that engaged the attention of the public men during that interesting period. The State was then emerging from the struggle for independence and was putting on the garb of peace. Efforts to raise and equip armies of defense now gave place to endeavors for public advancement.\nThe subdivision of the larger counties and the establishment of county-seats, with court-houses and jails, and the laying off of public roads, and the building of bridges claimed particular attention. Not only had the population rapidly increased east of the mountains, but the settlement beyond the Alleghanies now became of great public interest.\nGovernor Alexander Martin had succeeded the unfortunate Burke, who died soon after his retirement; and with skill and wisdom he directed public thought into new channels and sought out substantial lines of progress in dealing with State affairs. That he was the leading influence in North Carolina at that period hardly admits of question: and the Legislature seems to have been enthusiastic in honoring him. The ceremony of investing him with the powers of government on his first election was grand and imposing. He was brought before the Assembly and in a eulogistic address the Bill of\n-------------------- page iv --------------------\nRights and the State Constitution were committed to his keeping, and he was presented with a sword of State and duly proclaimed Captain-General, and Commander-in-Chief, and Governor over the State of North Carolina; of which all the good and liege people of the same are to take notice and govern themselves accordingly.\nThe office of Governor was then magnified; and in his administration of Governor Martin did not detract from its importance. His addresses to the Assembly were on a high plane and he pressed upon the Assembly the necessity of public education and advanced views in regard to government and public concerns.\nIn those days, it incidentally appears that not merely did the Speakers were gowns, but the Clerks of the Houses also.\nThe inconveniences of having no fixed seat of government and no sufficient accommodations for the Assembly were early felt. Members were so dilatory in attending that a proposition was made to impose a severe penalty on those who absented themselves from the sessions.\nAt Hillsboro, where the Assembly found it most convenient to sit, the church, as well as the court-house, was used for legislative purposes. As early as 1783 efforts were made to fix a permanent seat of government: and with the view to locating at Hillsboro, a post route was established between that town and Richmond: and the printingoffice was directed to be removed to that place: and some of the public offices were to be opened there: but New Bern and Tarboro and Smithfield and Fayetteville were too strong and too hopeful of future greatness to allow Hillsboro to bear off the honors. It was not until a decade later that Raleigh was founded.\nTowards the end of the war, when the State had been invaded and the Tory element stimulated by the presence of the British army, the State had become a general scene of turmoil and internecine strife. Then the patriots recovered their dominion and the Tory element was largely subdued; and numerous arrests were made for treason\n-------------------- page v --------------------\nand the jails were filled with culprits. There were many trials for treason, followed by many executions, but still the prisons were crowded with those who had been obtained. On the other hand a considerable number of patriot citizens had been seized by the British and the Loyalists and had been carried into captivity at Charleston; others had found safety in taking a British parole. At length, when the desire for vengeance had been somewhat slacked, Governor Martin proposed a more merciful policy, and that executions should cease, and there should be amnesty and pardon; and those in arrest should be exchanged for our citizens held at Charleston. His recommendation prevailed, and as the fullness of independence dawned the horrors of the civil war passed away.\nAs early as 1784 efforts were made to amend the Articles of Confederation, especially in regard to the Finances, to the control of Commerce, and the imposition of Tariff Duties. North Carolina seems to have been ready to concur in all needed remedial measures. She took a broad and liberal view and her spirit was eminently patriotic. But for a time we had our local tariff, imposed our own duties and regulated our commerce with the outside world: our public men dealing with these questions with intelligence and good sense.\nIn this volume we are likewise able to print a very interesting document, being \u201cThe Journal of the Expedition\u201d against the Regulators that culminated in the battle of Alamance. That expedition was composed of a detachment gathered in some of the Eastern counties; and its course as it marched to Alamance is given for each day in this Journal, which also contains a graphic account of the battle of Alamance, and then of the subsequent proceedings of the Governor\u2019s forces.\nIt is a blot on the character of Governor Tryon that he so willingly undertook that expedition. It seems to be apparent that by pursuing a different policy the troubles and grievances of which the Regulators complained could have been eased and quieted. The Regulators\n-------------------- page vi --------------------\nof Rowan compared their differences with those officers who agreed to submit all causes of complaint to a local board of arbitrators; and if Governor Tryon had been willing for such a settlement, doubtless the Regulators in all the counties would have followed that example, and the interior of the Province would have been pacified without any martial display on the part of the Governor, and without the expenditure of money or the loss of a single drop of blood.\nThe proceedings of the Council of State 1781 are interesting and the correspondence between Judge Murphey and General Graham and Hon. Allen J. Davie and others is especially so. The statement furnished by Colonel Davie of the number of men raised by North Carolina during the Revolution, while apparently incomplete, is of great value. It attests the activity of the North Carolina authorities and bears witness to the readiness with which our militia responded to calls to aid a sister State. But more valuable still are the contributions to history made by General Graham. His account of the movements, covered by his statement, is marked by a high degree of intelligence and conveys a clear view of the situation in the southwestern part of the State. From it one realizes how difficult was the undertaking of the Whig leaders to maintain government and to marshal the necessary forces to secure independence.\nIt is to be greatly regretted that other such intelligent participants in the great work\u2014men like General Graham\u2014had not addressed themselves to the task of perpetuating the records of their operations. Even the partial view we obtain of the action in North Carolina, however, enables us to appreciate the fine conduct of our Whig population; and we can note with satisfaction that neither the State to the north of us, nor the State to the south of us, displayed so much zeal, so much constancy, so much endurance, or so much patriotic ardor as the men of the Old North State. The story of their heroic exertions deserves to be treasured in the memory of posterity.\n1 Nov., 1901.\nURL: http://docsouth.unc.edu/csr/index.php/document/csr19-es01",

        "title": "Everything you Wanted to Know about Kids and Weightlifting \u2014 Dr. Erin Boynton",
        "raw_content": "The medical community hasn\u2019t always thought weightlifting is safe for kids. In the 80\u2019s and 90\u2019s, anecdotes of serious accidents and fears of growth plate injuries gave way to a consensus amongst doctors, parents, and coaches that the risks of weightlifting far outweighed the benefits. So what was their reasoning and how has it changed since?\nWell, their first concern should be familiar to anyone who\u2019s a parent\u2014accidents. Kids can be reckless, and in a room full of heavy dumbbells and complex machinery designed for adults, this recklessness can easily lead to injury. Of course, this problem is easily solved with proper supervision. But doctors had another concern, one a lot more complex and not so easily solvable: the vulnerability of a growing body, and the potential for injuries to the muscles, tendons, and growth plates.\nRemember, children are not miniature adults. Their bodies are in a state of constant flux, and when their bones grow, their muscles, fascia, and nervous system scramble to adapt, leaving the body weaker and less flexible than before; and with greater vulnerability comes greater risk of injury. As Dr. David F Gerrard noted in the British Journal of Sports Medicine in 1993, the \u201cimmature musculoskeletal system is less able to cope with repetitive biomechanical stress.\u201d However, the biggest fear among doctors at the time was of injuring growth plates, the areas of cartilage at the end of long bones which contribute to the increase in limb length. An injury to the growth plate can lead to a premature fusion which stops the growth of the entire limb, causing limb length discrepancy, or a partial premature fusion, causing limb deformity (like a bow leg). The cartilage of the growth plate is more vulnerable to injury than the bone itself. This is why, when children suffer microtrauma or macrotrauma to an extremity, they often injure or fracture the growth plate and not the shaft of the bone itself.\nSo what changed? Why are doctors, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, now giving the green light to pumping iron?\nWell, research in the last several decades has shown that, with appropriate loading and proper supervision, weightlifting can be safe for children. However, all this comes with two important caveats: avoid increasing the resistance too quickly (more on this later) and avoid heavy lifts. The Mayo Clinic recommends \u201clight resistance and controlled movements\u201d over \u201cbodybuilding, or powerlifting,\u201d suggesting that heavy lifts \u201ccan put too much strain on young muscles, tendons and areas of cartilage that haven't yet turned to bone (growth plates).\u201d The American Academy of Pediatrics cautions that \u201cPreadolescents and adolescents should avoid power lifting, body building, and maximal lifts until they reach physical and skeletal maturity.\u201d Even the \u201cYouth Resistance Training\u201d position paper co-authored by leading youth strength advocate Dr. Avery Faigenbaum acknowledges that \u201cthe risk of injury can be minimized by limiting the number of heavy lifts during a workout.\u201d\nOkay, so your 12-year-old, physically immature athlete can lift some light dumbbells, but probably shouldn\u2019t be deadlifting 500 pounds. But what else do you need to know? What\u2019s the safest, most effective way to strengthen your athlete?\n1. Understand Strength Science\nAt the biological level, strength is increased by one of three ways: increasing the size of muscle fibers (hypertrophy), increasing the number of muscle fibers (hyperplasia), or increasing the number of motor units recruited. Physically immature children lack the requisite hormone levels for major gains from hypertrophy and hyperplasia, and thus are more reliant upon neurological adaptations for strength gains. It works like this. Let\u2019s say, for simplicity\u2019s sake, your player has 100 motor units in her muscle. When she normally performs an action, she uses only 50 of those 100. However, if she continually stimulates the muscle with resistance, the body adapts by recruiting more units over time (50, 55, 60, etc.), thereby increasing strength.\nWith so many definitions floating around, it\u2019s hard to keep everything straight. And while it\u2019s not necessary to memorize everything, it\u2019s important to know the difference between strength training and weightlifting.\nStrength training is a means of improving strength through progressively increasing resistance. Weightlifting is simply a type of strength training, but it\u2019s not the only one\u2014TRX, elastic bands, and bodyweight exercises like squats and lunges are all forms of strength training too.\n2. Understand your Player\nThe key to successful strength training is knowing your player. As you can see from the picture featured at the top, there is wide variability in children\u2019s bodies\u2014some are tall; some are short; some are hypermobile; some are inflexible; some are muscular; and some are weak. Some girls reach physiological maturity at 14, and others take much longer. Different bodies have different needs, and the better you understand your player, the better you\u2019ll be able to train her. As the American Academy of Pediatrics notes, \"although research supports the safety and efficacy of resistance training for children, it is not necessary or appropriate for every child.\u201d\n3. Start with a Foundation\nIt\u2019s common sense. You have to crawl before you walk, and walk before you run. So why make your player do weighted squats when she can\u2019t even do a proper bodyweight squat? Before you even think about a weightlifting program, you first need to make sure your player has a solid foundation: relaxed and balanced soft tissues, joints with a full range of motion, and the ability to perform all the standard bodyweight exercises (squats, lunges, etc.) with perfect form and without pain.\nIt sounds easy enough, but you have to remember that the growing body is in a constant state of flux, struggling to adapt to its many changes. This is especially true during growth spurts, when children and adolescents are particularly vulnerable to injury. If your player is already unstable, adding weighted movements isn\u2019t going to help\u2014it\u2019s going to hurt. So begin with the basics: bodyweight exercises with perfect form and proper movement patterns, and build up from there.\nIt should go without saying, but training should be fun. And while some kids might find real joy in kettlebell swings and clean and jerks, I\u2019ll bet they\u2019re in the minority. Fortunately, as Dr. Faigenbaum says, \u201cThe body doesn\u2019t know the difference between a weight machine, a medicine ball, an elastic band and your own body weight.\" So get creative\u2014use medicine balls, resistance bands, and cones, and make it fun. Variety keeps it playful and helps prevent imbalances.\nOlder PostPreventing Injuries with Good Nutrition",

        "title": "\"Help, our puppy barks at children\" - Dogs Monthly",
        "raw_content": "Home Hot Topics \u201cHelp, our puppy barks at children\u201d\nWe own a delightful five-month-old Pomeranian puppy, who has taken to being nervous about children in the park where we regularly walk. He will bounce up to them and bark from a short distance away, circling them in the process. He does not seem aggressive at all, just very barky. As you can imagine, we are extremely concerned. Please help.\nNick Jones advises\u2026\nAny dog can be uncertain of anything if he hasn\u2019t had adequate exposure to it during the formative months of his life. Ideally, we would begin to make such introductions from the eight-week mark, once you collect your new puppy (assuming he was brought home at that age). At such a young age, a puppy is open to virtually any experience so long as it is carried out safely and calmly, with the dog not feeling threatened or concerned by the event.\nHowever, it\u2019s not uncommon to hear of the behaviour you describe, especially if a dog\u2019s owners have no children themselves and were unable to adequately socialise the puppy to children at the critical time. Your dog is still very young, though, and with proactive efforts to address this behaviour, you should be able to make good progress in due course.\nThe first step is not to avoid being around children, but to ensure you have total control of your dog until he can be trusted. He should not be allowed to run loose and run up to children and carry out the barking routine you describe. A simple 30-foot training line will enable you to control his behaviour to a much better degree, to enforce the recall when a child is seen, and then for you to carry out a controlled meeting at a distance you feel he can cope with. As he improves, that distance can be reduced as he becomes less reactive, and when he understands that you are directing these events and will not allow him to run about causing concern.\nHere\u2019s a basic drill to follow when you encounter children in the park\u2026\nWith food-driven dogs, I would use very high-value food to enact the recall (assuming he\u2019s away from you on the long line), and then you can simply use the line like a regular lead, allowing the excess length to drag on the ground behind you, or gathering it up if you prefer. Ask him to \u201cSit\u201d and \u201cStay\u201d at a distance away from the children that he can clearly manage while taking the food from you. It is this simple act of sitting, looking and feeding that will help change his experiences of children and what they represent.\nAs you progress, you can gradually reduce this distance while always monitoring his behaviour very carefully and ensuring he remains relaxed. If he starts to get tense or agitated \u2013 or if the child is too close, or begins to come towards you \u2013 then increase the distance, or simply walk away.\nAs he improves, and you get nearer to considering allowing a child to approach, you may feel that using a muzzle at that point would be sensible, to ensure there are no accidents. You will have plenty of time for ongoing risk assessment before you reach this stage, but do keep it in mind and always err on the side of safety. Muzzles can later be removed when you\u2019ve had a good stretch of worry-free behaviour.\nIt may also help to ask a friend with a calm child to make what appears to be an unplanned meeting in the park. Arrange in advance for the child to have a supply of your dog\u2019s high-value treats and the child can drop these from a distance for your dog to come and find, later reducing the distance as you see fit.\nAnother tip is to sit with your dog outside a fenced-in children\u2019s play area, again at a distance your dog can cope with, and feed him generously for calm behaviour. Keep the sessions short, and move away on a good note.\nThis is, of course, a delicate process that is not easy \u2013 or sensible \u2013 to carry out on unsuspecting children and their parents. If you have any doubts about your dog\u2019s behaviour at any stage, please seek the assistance of an experienced behaviour specialist.\nPrevious articlePuppy play creates confident dogs, study finds\nNext articleMilitary dog awarded PDSA Dickin Medal",

        "raw_content": "\u2190 On What Do Economists Agree?\n2016 Olympics a Two-Edged Sword for Chicago \u2192\nOn Tuesday, September 8, 2009 our local newspaper ran a front page story about the first meeting of a group called the Winona Tea Party Patriots. The event was advertised as non-partisan. I decided to check it out.\nAs I chained my bike to the porch railing in front of the Country Kitchen Restaurant, I noticed a full parking lot. There were even more cars parked along the frontage road. Upon entering I was presented with a small pocket copy of the Constitution of the United States. The meeting room was packed with about 125 people. A couple of people gave brief remarks and a state representative from Wabasha, Minnesota gave a short speech.\nWhat surprised me the most was the diversity of the group. I\u2019ve never seen a meeting or a group like this one. None of the local \u201cbig wig\u201d republicans were there. The two young men who called the gathering were in their late twenties or early thirties. They had not previously been politically active, saying that they called the meeting because they were concerned about the future for their children in an era where there seems to be no ending to government spending, debt, and coercion.\nI didn\u2019t know most of the people; it was like they came out of nowhere. There were truck drivers, blue collar workers, university professors, retirees, business owners, and even government employees! They were upset about cash for clunkers, unemployment, proposals to change health care, the bailout of wall-street bankers, Cap & Trade, and the government takeover of GM, just for starters. They came as Americans, not Republicans or Democrats. Many expressed that they felt betrayed by both parties. They no longer respect political labels or stereotypes. They unanimously agree on one thing; government is the problem, not the solution.\nThese Americans from southeastern Minnesota were particularly concerned about the debt and spending plans of the Obama administration. \u201cParticularly concerned\u201d doesn\u2019t adequately describe it\u2026\u201dmad as hell\u201d would be a better description of the mood of these folks. Keep in mind that virtually no one knew about this meeting until about 13 hours before the event. There was no contrivance or manipulation here, just a bunch of citizens who realize that government at almost all levels is out of control.\nOut in Washington, D.C. these people are represented by Democratic Congressman Tim Walz. He\u2019s in a relatively rural congressional district with a lot of sensible voters. A full 14 months before he runs to keep his office he\u2019s got a crowd of upset constituents at the Country Kitchen in Winona, Minnesota who are going to spend a lot of time and money to send him back to his teaching job at Mankato West High School. I would be worried if I was Mr. Walz. In fact, I think that Walz is toast come November 2010.\nFor me the meeting at the Winona Country Kitchen was my first hand realization that a political revolution is occurring in the United States of America. The aloofness and outright stupidity of our elected leaders has reached a zenith. The great silent majority are starting to awaken from their apathy, not willing to sleep or shut up. At least for now, a new era of political awareness has begun.\n5 Responses to Protecting the Constitution at the \u201cOle Country Kitchen\u201d\nCaroll Swicord says:\nI admire the valuable information you offer in your articles.Great post, You make valid points in a concise and pertinent fashion, This is a really good read for me, many thanks to the author\niMrStDIm says:\nHi! ikVZvPz\nBrigette Packham says:\nI wanted to thank you for this excellent read.

        "raw_content": "Swami continued, \u201cThrough that process, my mind quieted and calmed. I became receptive to an inner voice that I had never really heard or understood before. It was in that silence when this idea of walking coast to coast for peace came. I knew that this concept was a very austere life. If I chose to do that, I was committing to at least a year of literally walking by myself across the country. With my inner inspiration and the example of Peace Pilgrim, I made the commitment to follow that path. I came back to the USA and began a six-week walk in California on October 3, 2013. I started walking coast-to-coast on January 1, 2014.\u201d\nElaine asked Swami why we don\u2019t have world peace. He replied, \u201cAs long as we think there is not peace, then there is not peace for us. There are seven billion people in the world, and there are seven billion different worlds. We each have a different view, but there is a universal truth to the world. There is what Jesus Christ calls the Kingdom of God within, and that is the truth of us. Thou art Spirit. Thou art not this body. Thou art not the perishable form. Thou art the imperishable soul within.\u201d\nElaine invited Swami to recommend one action step to more inner peace. Swami offered, \u201cChange the thought pattern. That\u2019s the most important thing we can do. The reality for each of us is we came here to complete our growing up and merge with the divine. The divine characteristics are joy, acceptance, perseverance, patience, forgiveness, bliss, knowledge, and wisdom. Our journey is to lift ourselves up from the lower self to the higher self. The way we do that is change our thought patterns. We change the way that we think. We change the way that we live. We have the power to do it. That\u2019s it!\u201d\nWhen asked to speak about his take-away from the six-step Peace Process, Swami shared, \u201cI will say that it provides an opportunity to reflect and to touch the peace within. Any opportunity to do that is invaluable, beyond value. We seek the pot of gold, the joy without end, and that is what awaits us at the end of the Peace Process. I thank you very much for this process and what the divine brings through you, and this support of the world and of peace. God bless you.\u201d\nElaine concluded, \u201cThank you, Swami. Namaste. Have a beautiful day!\u201d\nFor more information, please contact Swami Sankarananda on his website, www.peace-kindness.org.\nClick this link and listen to the audio replay: World Peace Telesummit With Swami Sankarananda.\nTo download the interview in Adobe PDF format, click here: World Peace Telesummit With Swami Sankarananda Transcript.\nElaine Christine, Kindness, Peace, Peace Process, Swami Sankarananda, World Peace Telesummit. permalink.",

        "raw_content": "Photographer Explores Underwater Sculpture Park\nOff the coast of bustling Cancun, Mexico lies Museo Subaquatico De Arte (MUSA), a place that seems too magical for reality.\nMUSA is an underwater contemporary museum of art created in 2009 by Jaime Gonzalez Cano, Director of the National Marine Park; Roberto Diaz Abraham, then President of the Cancun Nautical Association; and sculptor Jason deCaires Taylor. The sculpture park consists of 420 square meters with more than 500 life-size sculptures by deCaires Taylor, each made from materials that promote coral life and reef recovery. The artworks are permanent and fixed to the ocean floor.\nLondon-based photographer Claudia Legge explored MUSA in February, coming away with dreamy images that illustrate the beauty of nature and mankind working in harmony. Legge, who specializes in aquatic photography, described the experience in an interview with It\u2019s Nice That:\n\u201cIt was very epic swimming around the sculptures, it\u2019s like you\u2019re entering this private life. It reminded me of a poem by Keats where he describes the imagined life of two figures on the side of a Grecian urn. They are frozen in time and it\u2019s sort of tragic but also wonderful because their reality is constant and they don\u2019t suffer the trials of human existence. That\u2019s sort of what I felt when I was down there, it was a bit eerie, like these were real people frozen in time, and of course they actually are modelled on real people.\u201d\nLegge said the statues felt alive because of the way marine life interacts with them, and likened the site to a lost civilization like Atlantis.\n\u201cIt was very tranquil, almost spiritual down there,\u201d she said.\nMUSA was designed to draw Cancun and nearby Isla Mujeres visitors off shore and allow natural reefs to rehabilitate from the crowds. With more than 750,000 tourists flocking to the area\u2019s pristine waters each year, the installation offers an alternative site (and breathtaking one at that) for divers and snorkelers to visit so that they\u2019re not destroying natural ecosystems. Over time, MUSA is also establishing a reef of its own as the stone sculptures become covered in coral.\nLegge\u2019s images of MUSA are absolutely stunning. Check out a few below, and visit her site to see more of her work.",

And I\u2019m not even looking for a relationship\u2013but I can\u2019t deny the attraction that sizzles between us.\nI need to ignore it. A single dad, all I want is to take care of my little girl, do my job, and enjoy my friends. Anything more is asking for complications I can\u2019t afford. Asking to be hurt again.\nTrouble is, I want her, too. And when our flirty sparks turn to flames, I give in to temptation. Our secret fling is scorching hot, better than I\u2019d even imagined.\nBut secrets get out, and I could lose my job and my reputation.\nAnd I\u2019m starting to realize she\u2019s the one thing I\u2019m not willing to lose.\nI\u2019m really bummed that this is the last installment to the series. I feel like there could be so much more to continue the story line. \ud83d\ude41 The good thing though is that Ms Kenner saved Brent for last. He was a big role in the first book so it\u2019s nice that it came full circle to him in this finale.\nThe Brent we knew before was the best friend in a triangle of Reece and Jenna. He\u2019s a single father to Faith, an adorable 5 (now 6) year old who\u2019s mother walked out the day she was born. Brent\u2019s had a lot of trouble trusting people to stick around and he\u2019s beyond devoted to his daughter.\nThen there\u2019s Elena, Tyree\u2019s daughter \u2013 a child that he only learned about a few books back. She\u2019s 23, finding her way in life while finishing Grad School. She\u2019s sure of who she is, but she also knows what she wants and who she wants.\nOf course, there\u2019s a mutual attraction that neither will act on. Brent is afraid to commit to anyone and he\u2019s afraid of Tyree getting mad, and Elena is afraid to be rejected and is also afraid of what her father will think. It\u2019s only when she becomes his babysitter and they find themselves together at all hours that things start to bubble up.\nThe journey that they go on is a fast one. They finally admit that they can\u2019t deny how they feel about one another but they have to be careful about how open they are since there are so many factors against them. And of course when things start to settle in, there are various wrenches thrown in. One being a job opportunity that Elena gets in California.\nAdd to that story line that we are at the end of the series \u2013 with the point being that they needed to raise enough money to keep The Fix from being foreclosed on. Add to that the fact that someone\u2019s been vandalizing the place, and now the historical committee has decided that they want to take over the property because of it\u2019s significance in Austin, and all the hard work may have been for nothing .\nSo as i said, our journey comes to a close, and while we see endless couples have been formed, we also don\u2019t know what the outcome will be \u2013 if their home will be taken away and if that happens, what that will mean for everyone. So on that note, i suggest you read it to see what happens and how they manage in the outcome.

        "title": "The $3 Trillion U.S. Healthcare Market Pales In Comparison To The Rising Billions - eCaring",
        "raw_content": "Category: BlogOn: December 15, 2015\nThe United States has the biggest healthcare industry in the world, spending approximately $3 trillion a year. By 2018, healthcare will comprise close to 18% US gross domestic product \u2013 a sizable market opportunity for a new generation of entrepreneurs selling innovations to the industry, the government, and increasingly directly to consumers.\nThe highly publicized \u201c$3 trillion\u201d figure is a staggering, but ultimately distracting number when it comes to predicting future opportunities for healthcare innovation. Instead of focusing on the bloated US economy, long-term investors and entrepreneurs looking to make a dent in the universe should turn their focus to the rest of the world that currently has limited, or no access, to health care at all.\nIn practical terms, the US market is where it\u2019s at for most upstarts today. And for good reason: it\u2019s a huge market with new demands. But for those dreaming to change the game completely, a myopic focus on the US ignores the coming leapfrog opportunities in China, India, and throughout Africa and elsewhere. The healthcare market is global, and forward-thinking entrepreneurs understand that economic needs for health services are expanding far beyond US borders. Over the next five years, somewhere between three and five billion new consumers will be connected to the internet for the first time, according to entrepreneur Peter Diamandis, who calls these new consumers \u201cthe rising billion.\u201d\nThe rising billion are consumers of goods and services, but they are also patients in need of medical care. They should not be ignored. They are the future of radical healthcare transformation; the solutions created for them will boomerang back to solve today\u2019s biggest healthcare challenges: access, quality and cost.\nWith more than one billion people on Earth living on less than $1 per day, engineers and healthcare pioneers are looking for solutions that are not only radically cheaper, but also better than those used in the US. For example, a new molecular diagnostic test called GeneXpert is being used in developing nations to quickly and accurately diagnose tuberculosis, still one of the most deadly diseases worldwide. Another tech solution in Sub Saharan Africa helps patients with internal bleeding from a car accident or complication during pregnancy. In order to survive, these patients need to have their blood safely removed, filtered and returned.\nA simple device called Hemafuse allows even untrained persons to safely treat internal bleeding. High and low tech solutions are being deployed to address significant medical need in regions with little to no healthcare infrastructure. Because of the specific social and economic needs of these patients, healthcare solutions are being designed at a fraction of the price compared to similar solutions in the United States. As the rising billions are armed with mobile and connected devices, affordable AI, 3D printing and even delivery drones, they will for the first time have access to healthcare services which were previously unattainable. These services won\u2019t always have to be engineering marvels, such as the blood filtration device and diagnostic assay mentioned above (although many will be). They may be as simple as educational YouTube videos on basic wound care, or on proper sanitation to prevent disease.\nWith the power of mobile devices, billions of new people are starting to educate themselves on how to live healthier, more productive lives with the simple internet-based tools we take for granted here in the United States. Imagine what will happen when affordable AI, drone delivery and the 3-D printing maker movement starts to scale in the most remote parts of the world. Just as significantly, the rising billions are sure to affect the business models of today\u2019s healthcare giants. When the cost of care must be close to zero out of necessity, new models will emerge. Merely the methods used to deliver healthcare services can make a big impact on cost. HIV treatment and care in the United States has improved significantly thanks to lessons learned from community health workers in Africa, Haiti and other parts of the developing world hard-hit by the epidemic.\nIn fact, Partners in Health tested this leapfrog approach in Boston, where 20 patients were treated using a program developed in rural Haiti. They found that among these patients, medical expenses decreased by 40%. Finally, this global movement will serve an added benefit to American consumers through the phenomenon of \u201cleapfrog innovation,\u201d which I have previously written about.\nAs soon as consumers and industry stakeholders in the United States see that much of their healthcare services can be delivered for a fraction of the cost, and with quality or superior outcomes, they will demand those better alternatives. We have already seen this trend unfold as public outrage over pharmaceutical price-gouging, a practice in which some companies charge US patients hefty sums for drugs that are distributed elsewhere for pennies. Healthcare spending in the United States is expected to rise almost 6% by 2024. But the global health market is expanding, with billions of new consumers increasingly empowered by connectivity and affordable tech. How much does this opportunity represent in dollars? Is it a $3 trillion opportunity? How many new patients will enter the global healthcare economy in the next 10 to 20 years? It\u2019s difficult to say, but the opportunity I see is that entrepreneurs who start serving the rising billions today will be the leaders of tomorrow.\nSource: Forbes. To the original article",

        "raw_content": "Business News\u203aNews\u203aIndia Unlimited\u203aCSR\u203aInitiatives\u203aHere's how ITC's social outreach programme works\nHere's how ITC's social outreach programme works\nITC has one of the largest and most effective CSR programs in India Inc. Here\u2019s how its social outreach programme works.\nIt is rare to find the top boss of a large enterprise being intimately involved with its sustainability initiatives. That\u2019s precisely where ITC chairman YC Deveshwar differs from several other bosses of India Inc. He is not just hands on with the conglomerate\u2019s social projects but personally champions many of them.\nLittle wonder that the consumer goodscigarette-hospitality firm\u2019s social investments have won plenty of accolades. The company has been able to generate sustainable livelihood opportunities for around 6 million people through its CSR initiatives. ITC has also achieved the unique global distinction of being carbon positive for nine successive years, water positive for 12 consecutive years and solid waste recycling positive for the last seven years.\nThe biggest reason for ITC\u2019s CSR success is the way almost all the major sustainability initiatives have been wedded to the company\u2019s core business, either providing an input source for a business or backward integration. As a result, divisional chief executives and their teams lead each of the initiatives, making them something more than just another CSR programme.\nFor instance, the famed e-Choupal initiative led by the agri-business division is a major sourcing base for the company\u2019s packaged food and FMCG business, while its social forestry programme supports the paper and paperboard business. ITC has, in the last few years, undertaken massive animal husbandry initiatives covering ten lakh milch animals which will form the base for the proposed foray into the dairy business early next year.\nThere\u2019s more to ITC\u2019s CSR initiatives than these backward linkages. In the last few years, the company has spent considerable money on developing renewable energy infrastructure. And now, renewable energy meets almost 38% of ITC\u2019s total energy requirements which is indeed remarkable considering the huge manufacturing base and hotels. The target is to increase this to 50% over the next five years. All the premium luxury hotels are certified green buildings making ITC the greenest luxury hotel chain in the world.\nWhile addressing the company\u2019s annual general meeting in July, Deveshwar had said ITC\u2019s FMCG brands have anchored the development of competitive value chains benefitting some of the poorest regions of the country. \u201cIn conjunction with the company\u2019s social investment programme for integrated rural development, these brands have enabled the empowerment of millions of disadvantaged in India\u2019s villages by generating sustainable livelihoods,\u201d he said.\nITC Chairman YC Deveshwar chats with farmers.\nThe non-cigarette FMCG brands currently have an annual cumulative turnover of over 10,000 crore and it is Deveshwar\u2019s belief that this integrated rural approach will play a vital role in making ITC the country\u2019s largest non-cigarette FMCG firm.\nThe most popular of ITC\u2019s CSR initiatives has been the Choupal programme, which has empowered farmers, raised rural income and developed the rural ecosystem. Farmers are provided with critical information and relevant knowledge on farm productivity, prices and markets through the e-Choupal digital infrastructure and also access to quality inputs for better productivity. Farmers are given training and the company has set up integrated rural service hubs called Choupal Saagars which offer multiple services under one roof. These include services such as procurement and storage, a store-front for agricultural equipment and personal consumption products, insurance, pharmacy and fuel station.\nITC\u2019s agri-business CEO S Sivakumar says that taken together, the e-Choupal programmes have had a transformational impact in many areas of rural India now that it covers 40,000 villages benefitting four million farmers. \u201cThe initiative has enabled farmers to raise productivity levels and income. There is a visible development in the e-Choupal villages with rising purchasing power, as well as infrastructure development arising out of increased economic activity,\u201d he said.\nSimilarly, ITC\u2019s social and farm forestry covers over 1.6 lakh hectares and has provided over 70 million man-days of employment to marginalised farmers and tribals whose wasteland was converted for pulpwood plantation. While ITC has invested in R&D to create clonal saplings which would be disease resistant and grow much faster creating a dedicated supply base for its paper and paperboard business, the growers are also free to sell to the highest bidder in the open market.\nITC has covered 1.61 lakh hectares for soil & moisture conservation benefiting over 1.3 lakh people. ITC's livestock development programme in over 10,000 villages in eight states aims to boost milk productivity and provide additional income for farmers laying the foundation for the dairy business. \u201cWe have set up cattle development centres which provide the farmers an integrated package comprising artificial insemination, pre and post-natal care, healthcare and nutrition,\u201d said Sivakumar.\nThe company has created sustainable livelihoods for over 40,000 rural women as part of its sustainable livelihood and social empowerment programmes either through micro-enterprises, or assistance with loans to pursue income generating activities, including rolling incense sticks for its agarbatti business. ITC is also working big on waste recycling which is implemented by its paperboards and specialty papers division to focus on \u2018reduce-reuserecycle\u2019 approach to protect and restore the environment. The programme ultimately provides cost competitive raw material to several industries such as the paperboards and paper and has led to a cascading effect on improving the income of rag-pickers and municipal workers.\nITC\u2019S CSR SPENDS\n2012: Rs 58 crore 2013: Rs 78 crore 2014: Rs 107 crore\nCSR SPENDS AS A PERCENTAGE OF AVERAGE NET PROFIT\n2012: 0.96% 2013:1.06% 2014: 1.2%\nSource: ITC Sustainability Report 2014\nChoupal Saagars",

Please tell me more about this group? Where do you want to take this group? What is your vision for the Brothers of Earth?\nThe Brothers of Earth is an inclusive Earth-based organization of men who come from a variety of different backgrounds. It started in 1997, co-founded by Jim Conlon and John Surette, with their first gathering held at the Genesis Farm Center of Ecology in New Jersey. As a group we convene every two years at selected locations around the country for a long weekend of discussion, presentations, contemplation and plans of action. Our intention is to draw more men into the group who share the life-embracing, cosmological vision of Thomas Berry.\nThe next scheduled gathering will be was held June 7\u201310, 2012 here in Dayton at the Marianist retreat house, a beautiful facility surrounded with forest and prairie on an extensive area sculpted by the last glacial age some 10,000 years ago. I am very excited to host this event in June together with Jim Conlon of Sophia, John Surette and Maurice Lange. Steve Dunne, CP, a long-time friend and colleague of Thomas Berry for fifty years, will be was the facilitator for the gathering. The details of the weekend are being worked out as we speak. More information about this weekend is available on the new website: https://www.brothersofearth.com.\nMy vision of where to take the Brothers of Earth is to grow it in number and in heart and to develop a closer bond with the feminine, possibly the Sisters of Earth (a large successful gathering of women who come together every two years like us). I believe that it is critical to have the feminine connection always present in the Great Work as Thomas Berry calls it so as to maintain a healthy balance of Earth. Women need to have a larger role in the present and future. The Brothers need to create a more inclusive foundation for the future.\nMore about Brothers of Earth at www.brothersofearth.com/",

We have lived in Edgewood since 1996 and our children went to Mountainview Elementary, Moriarty Middle School and Moriarty High School.\nI retired as senior management from an Albuquerque non-profit organization that reached a budget of a quarter of a million dollars while I was there. I have a Masters in Non-Profit Management and am a Certified Fundraising Executive. This is a peer review certification that acknowledges more than 20 years working with non-profits in all capacities.\nI have volunteered with the Town of Edgewood since before it was Town. I served on the Library Advisory Board when the Library was housed in the strip mall on Route 66. I have attended Council meetings over the last 20 years and always found them enlightening, educational and, sometimes, entertaining.\nIn the last few years, I have been very involved with Animal Protection and instrumental in passing the bond that allowed the town to build our new Animal Shelter. I also served on the Animal Shelter Advisory Board. I am still active with Friends of Estancia Valley Animals, the low cost spay and neuter organization that serves the citizens of Edgewood.\nIn the past, I was the Director of Salt Mission Trail Mainstreet. It was here that I came to more fully understand the relation between local government, county and state. It also gave me a greater appreciation of the history of the Edgewood area and the importance of Route 66.\nI believe that this history can be honored and preserved while planning for the future growth of our community.\nI am asking for your support and vote on March 6 so I can serve the citizens of Edgewood as a Council member and help with reasonable growth as Edgewood faces new challenges in the future.\nPS: I would like to invite you all to a dessert and coffee on January 30 at the Edgewood Community Center to meet me and bring me your concerns, questions and ideas about growth in Edgewood.\nSusan Simons, Edgewood\nStanley resident warns how quickly fire spreads\nA brush fire started at 11:45 a.m. in front of my house on Dinkle and King Road. My neighbors saw someone flick a cigarette out their car window and this is what happened immediately. Two men who work for Kings Farms stopped, got out their shovels and had most of the fire out by the time Edgewood and Stanley fire departments responded. We came home just before the fire department got there. It spread incredibly fast. Even though the grass by our homes may be short and bush hogged, we can still suffer a great loss from fire. Please, please do not throw lighted cigarettes out of you car, and don\u2019t park on the side of the road if you have a hot catalytic converter on your car. Catalytic converters can start a fire on the side of the road in an instant also.\nKudos to my neighbors who saw the fire start, to the King\u2019s workers and to both fire departments, who got here as soon as they could to do the mopping up with the water in their trucks. Fire Danger is high.\nMarjorie Fiske, Stanley",

        "title": "Microburst knocks down 15 power poles - The Independent",
        "raw_content": "7,000 households without power for 30+ hours\nThis photo from Edgewood Mayor John Bassett's Facebook page shows downed poles and repair crews.\nSome 7,000 households were in the dark for 30 hours or more over the weekend after a microburst snapped a dozen 80-foot power poles like matchsticks.\nThat\u2019s more than half of the households served by the electric utility.\nThe general manager of CNMEC, the Central N.M. Electric Cooperative, spoke Monday about the power outage that left thousands in the Edgewood area without power.\nMatthew Collins said the cooperative could have done a better job keeping its customers informed over the course of the outage, which started Friday afternoon, ending for most when power was restored in the early hours Sunday morning.\nAt times, there were contradictory messages on the cooperative\u2019s phone message and website; also the volume of calls caused the phone system to crash, Collins said.\nStill, Collins said the community was very supportive as crews worked around the clock to replace a total of 15 power poles, 12 of those 80-foot transmission lines, as they continued to be hampered by ongoing rain and the resulting mud.\nThat was 1 to 2 inches of rain in what National Weather Service meteorologist Kerry Jones\u2014himself a resident of Sandia Park who was without power for more than 30 hours\u2014described as a \u201cclassic signature wet microburst\u201d pattern on radar. While some people reported seeing a funnel cloud, which both Jones and Collins confirmed, it may have touched down briefly, or not. To be considered a tornado, a funnel cloud must touch the ground.\nA microburst, Jones explained, is \u201ca small-scale, very localized downrush of intense winds.\u201d When that happens with large amounts of rain, it\u2019s a wet microburst, he said. \u201cSmall-scale\u201d in this context means an affected area of about 2.5 miles or less. Jones said the most affected area near Edgewood was about a mile long.\nAnother aspect of a microburst is that it comes and goes quickly, typically in just a few minutes. Winds were likely near 90 miles an hour, which Jones said rivals wind speeds in the weakest tornados.\nIn addition to the microburst that took down the power poles, there were several other thunderstorms in the area Friday afternoon and evening, with \u201cwhat we call a land spout tornado\u201d reported around 5 p.m., Jones said.\nAll of that meant that repairing the downed power poles had to take place in the rain, and overnight, as repair crews of 12 to 18 men traded off without interruption until power was restored. They first had to \u201ckill out and ground out both sides of that line in order to make sure the power is completely off and there are no isolated power lines that are active,\u201d Collins said.\nFrom there, crews started by clearing out broken poles and tearing all the wire down. \u201cAt the same time they\u2019re determining what has to go up to replace what came down,\u201d Collins said.\nCrews also had to find the materials, including poles, hardware and wire, to replace downed lines, and \u201cmake sure what we need is available at the different warehouses, at our co-op, and since this is transmission line, coordinating with Tristate Generation & Transmission to expedite,\u201d Collins said.\n\u201cI\u2019m sure there was about 20 guys all at once trying to do everything\u2014digging holes, setting poles, framing poles, directing traffic, coordinating with dispatch, talking with members, running material back and forth from warehouses as well,\u201d Collins said. \u201cSome of these guys worked 36 straight hours. They\u2019d go home for a couple hours of sleep in a steady flow of men, rotating in and out to make sure they were fresh, fed and hydrated.\u201d\nOn the first night, \u201cit rained all night off and on,\u201d Collins said. The narrowness of the roads, Dinkle and Venus, meant that there was not a lot of room to maneuver, and the ground was very muddy.\nJones said the event was a wake-up call as to whether area residents are prepared for a long power outage. \u201cFor wildfire we talk about a go bag. Are we really prepared? It\u2019s probably good for all of us to think about what you would do if you didn\u2019t have power for a few days. What\u2019s your plan?\u201d\nHe suggested the website ready.gov as one resource for such planning.\nMeanwhile, CNMEC is going back to the drawing board to consider how best to keep its customers informed in the event of a similar outage in the future.\nA crowded field seeks Senate District 19 seat\nCook Like A Pro!, Features, News\nA quiet day for the Dog Head Fire Sunday",

        "raw_content": "Tyler McCumber beats up his dad's golf course for second Tour victory\nTyler McCumber celebrates his win at the Syncrude Oil Country Championship with tournament volunteers, at the Edmonton Petroleum Golf and Country Club Sunday Aug. 5, 2018. David Bloom / Postmedia\nTyler McCumber wasn\u2019t waiting around to see if it was meant to be or if fate would smile on him.\nHe wasn\u2019t hoping for the stars to align or for the story to write itself.\nYes, his father, Mark McCumber, designed the Edmonton Petroleum Club, where Tyler held the 54 hole lead at the Syncrude Oil Country Championship, but the 27-year old was in no mood for a sentimental walk on Sunday.\nHe beat the hell out of that golf course.\nMcCumber reached out and grabbed the tournament by the throat, refusing to give anyone else even a faint breath of life.\nHe shot 30 on the front, finished with a course-record 63 and posted a two-shot victory for his second straight Mackenzie Tour win.\nOnly when it was over, and the trophy was officially his, did the killer instinct give way to the feel good story of the week.\n\u201cIt\u2019s an honour,\u201d he said of delivering a convincing triumph on a course that bears his family name. \u201cIt was just such a fun week. Just being here on the course and seeing all the things he talks about in course design, they did a great job with this course.\u201d\nIt\u2019s hard to imagine the old man being any prouder.\n\u201cI\u2019m pretty sure he would be pumped to see me win anywhere,\u201d laughed McCumber. \u201cBut it does add to it.\u201d\u2028Tyler says he spoke with his father every night, looking for advice on how to navigate the tournament minefield. And it helped.\n\u201cHe just reminded me about all the stuff I\u2019m working on and said to go out there and keep the pedal down, don\u2019t get ahead of yourself, but know that the guys are going to come after you, and they did.\u201d\nThe charges came fast and furious.\nPatrick Fishburn started the day three shots off the pace and came out firing. He opened with four straight birdies to get himself within one shot of McCumber\u2019s lead.\nGreyson Sigg also went birdie-birdie-birdie-birdie to move from 9-under to 13-under, two shots off the pace.\nAt 1:51 p.m. there were eight players within three shots of the lead.\nBut McCumber was having none of it. He birdied six of his first eight holes, just missed a five footer for 29 on the 9th and had a four shot lead at the turn.\n\u201cWith the good weather there were so many guys in the hunt who were going to make a run at it, which they did,\u201d he said. \u201cIt was really important to get off to a good start and keep the peddle down and not let up. It was fun. I really had the momentum going.\u201d\nHe had it going all week, shooting 67-68-65-63 for 21-under, two shots ahead of second place Ian Holt, who also shot a final round 63 and could only roll his eyes and look at the heavens when he realized it wasn\u2019t good enough.\n\u201cThe quality of play this year, I don\u2019t even know how to say it, it\u2019s been remarkable,\u201d said McCumber. \u201cEveryone is playing really, really well. I played good in the first few events, but was finishing 15th and 16th shooting 16 or 17 under. The guys take it deep every week. There\u2019s been a course record set every week. I knew I had to get it to 20-under.\u201d\nMcCumber, who is now 85-under par in his last five tournaments, has taken over top spot on the Mackenzie Tour Order of Merit, a position that would earn his a spot on the Web Tour next season.\nRight now he\u2019s just looking to make it a three-peat this week in Calgary.\n\u201cI\u2019m very happy where my game is at,\u201d he said. \u201cI want to keep better every week and I do think I\u2019m doing that. I\u2019ve been working really hard on the mental side and I think that\u2019s what separates the good play from the decent play, apart from golf being tricky and tough.\n\u201cIt\u2019s about staying aggressive and believing in yourself. It\u2019s nice to be able to do that two weeks in a row.\u201d",

        "title": "What if Basil II had been a different Basil? - Eileen Stephenson",
        "raw_content": "On this, the second weekend in July, a reminder of what occurred this weekend a thousand years ago.\nBasil II, the son of Romanos II, grandson of Constantine Porphyrogenitos, and great grandson of Leo VI the Wise and Romanos I Lecapenos, was the one of the best known the Byzantine emperors, with a highly successful military record. But what if the second Basil on the throne had instead been the youngest child of Romanos Lecapenos, known to history as Basil the Parakoimomenos?\nRomanos Lecapenos clambered onto the throne when the regents of young Constantine Porphyrogenitos were running the empire into the ground. Constantine\u2019s father had gotten himself into trouble with the Patriarch for marrying four times so that he could finally get a son and heir. The Orthodox church then, as now, only permits two marriages \u2013 or a third if young children need to be cared for, but certainly not four. That seems a little short-sighted to me, especially in medieval times when life was truly nasty, brutish and often short, but rules are rules.\nPart of Romanos\u2019s deal with the Patriarch to get his support when he became co-emperor with Constantine may have been that on the second Sunday each July the Tomus Unionis \u2013 condemning more than three marriages for an individual \u2013 was read in all Orthodox churches. This would have humiliated young Constantine, the offspring of such a non-canonical marriage.\nOne would think that this reminder about marriage rules would only benefit Romanos and strengthen his position on the throne and that of the three sons he made co-emperors with himself and Constantine. However, I suspect that it didn\u2019t in the long run since it may have been the reason why he did not marry the mother of his youngest son, Basil. Romanos\u2019s early years were not well recorded. The historical record only reports his marriage to Theodora, who appears to have been the mother of Helena Lecapena (wife of Constantine Porphyrogenitos) and her brothers Stephen, Constantine and Theophylact.\nThat leaves Christopher (and several other older sisters) who had to have been much older than Helena and her younger brothers since Christopher had a daughter, Marie/Irene, who married Peter of Bulgaria and gave birth in 931 when Helena was 18. Also, some of the historical records say that Helena\u2019s mother, Theodora, and Christopher\u2019s wife, Sophia, were sisters. Consequently, it seems quite possible that Romanos Lecapenos had been married once before his marriage to Theodora.\nThis brings us to Basil the Parakoimomenos, the youngest known child of Romans. Romanos\u2019s wife, Theodora, died when he was in his early 50\u2019s and still interested in female companionship. As a usurper, he could not afford to lose the Patriarch\u2019s support by marrying a third time. Instead, he took a mistress who gave birth to a son, Basil.\nWhat to do with this boy? He didn\u2019t want this child to threaten the right to the throne his legitimate sons had. Christopher, Stephen and Constantine were co-emperors with him and Constantine Porphyrogenitos at the time of Basil\u2019s birth. Also, he had already had his youngest legitimate son, Theophylact, castrated to prepare him one day to become Patriarch. Why not this boy as well? Which is what happened.\nUnfortunately for Romanos, the most promising of his legitimate sons, Christopher, died years before his father, while Stephen and Constantine proved both stupid and disloyal \u2013 none of them succeeding their father. One the other hand, the young eunuch Basil was intelligent, energetic, and capable. He eventually became the Parakoimomenos, or chief minister, to his brother-in-law, Constantine Porphyrogenitos, when he began ruling on his own. He later filled that position with Nikephoros II Phokas, John I Tzimiskes, and his great nephew, Basil II. However, a few years into Basil II\u2019s reign, he threw his great uncle from this highest office, confiscated his lands and possessions, and sent the now 60 year old man into exile where he soon died.\nBasil the Parakoimomenos has not received good press over the years and may have deserved it. The historical record is clear that he grew incredibly wealthy while in office, but I\u2019m not sure what else could be expected of a bright, well born, and ambitious eunuch. I imagine he may have seethed with frustration at seeing others sit on the throne that might have been his if his parents had been married. He probably saw that wealth as fair recompense.\nHow would this Basil have affected Byzantine history if he had not been castrated, but reigned? Of course, it\u2019s impossible to say, but maybe the empire could have avoided the mess that foolish Empress Zoe\u2019s assortment of dissolute husbands made of things after the actual Basil II died. For me, this is one of the great \u201cwhat if\u2019s\u201d of Byzantine history.\nPrevPreviousReview: The Road to Manzikert by Brian Todd Carey\nNextThe Queen of Cities Does Not DisappointNext",

        "raw_content": "April 25, 2017 by Intuition Robotics Team\nHi, my name is Keren. I am the gerontologist at Intuition Robotics, where we are building an AI-driven social companion for older adults. What is a gerontologist and what do we do, you might ask. Gerontology is the scientific study of the biological, psychological and sociological phenomena that are associated with old age and aging, as well as the problems of the aged. A gerontology degree wasn\u2019t always as accessible as it is today, but in recent years that has changed and the subject has gained popularity due to the increased longevity of the human race.\nSo, what does a gerontologist even do at a startup\u2019?\nAfter I joined the company (as employee #1!), I read academic articles and research papers about social robots, specifically, the use of robots designed to assist older adults. We then partnered with \u2018Beth Protea\u2019, which is a boutique retirement home in Herzliya. They have a project called \u2018Protea Home Care\u2019 in which older adults who prefer to stay at home can enroll in a modular program where each client chooses which services best suit his needs and requirements. I interviewed Beth Protea\u2019s clients about their daily habits and technology use. I also questioned them to find out what\u2019s missing from current technologies that prevents them from using them.\nThe second round of interviews was done with the grown children of the older adults, mainly those who act as their parent\u2019s primary caregivers. The goal was to better understand their needs and wishes. We also have hosted discussion groups with multidisciplinary teams of professionals who work with older adults to gain even more insights.\nOne of the main points of the caregivers\u2019 interviews was to understand how the digital divide impacts the whole family. The younger generations have their own way of communicating, the most popular being social media and texting, but the parents or grandparents of that generation are far less tech savvy. Sadly, that reduces interaction with the grandparents, and unfortunately, makes them feel even further from their family and more lonely.\nWe then added another study group, partnering with the team at Jewish Family and Children's Services in San Francisco, as well as some of their clients. It was very interesting to see the similarities and the differences between the two populations of older adults.\nOur Users In Mind\nThese interviews and research have helped us create a user profile and attain an understanding of users\u2019 needs and beliefs, before diving into the development and design of the product.\nWe let our focus groups and other seniors experience various technologies and voice assistants and requested feedback about different aspects of the devices used. ElliQ\u2019s features were determined by what older adults thought was necessary and useful for them.\nIt is very important for us to ensure that we are creating the best possible experience with ElliQ and that we help combat loneliness and social isolation through some of the technological advances made in recent years. We are constantly incorporating older adults\u2019 experiences and desires, so that we can make educated decisions about the product; for example, ElliQ\u2019s \u2018stop what you\u2019re doing\u2019 button was added as the result of user feedback.\nThe coolest part about my job is that I get to see ElliQ come to life. I got to interact with ElliQ when she was only a few lines of code, and I now share my office with her! My day-today work with the development team is exciting. I get to teach ElliQ new skills and go out into the field to get users\u2019 feedback right after.\nWhen an older adult makes a suggestion about anything related to ElliQ\u2019s functionality, settings or features, I gather and take the feedback to the development team. At this point I can teach ElliQ a new trick with a few simple tools and some magic from the hands of our dedicated team.\nAs mentioned before, older adults don\u2019t always feel confident to use technology. If you haven\u2019t been in someone\u2019s shoes, it\u2019s hard to know his needs. That\u2019s why our development team also needs to get educated on the needs and aspects of the older adults. Naturally, I\u2019m also in charge of this process. I present the latest research findings, both mine and academic, to the team, to ensure better understanding of the needs of the elderly.\nAdditional User Trials\nWe\u2019re continuing to evolve ElliQ and are looking for additional seniors and their adult children so ElliQ can learn and interact with them. Please email us at info@intuitionrobotics.com if you are based in California\u2019s Bay Area, and would like to participate in shaping the world\u2019s first active aging companion.",

        "title": "Can Brain Gains Help e-Learning? | eLearning Mind",
        "raw_content": "Does Brain Training Hold the Key to Better eLearning?\nIf you own a smartphone, then chances are that you\u2019ve downloaded a \u201cbrain training\u201d app: Meant to improve the way your brain functions, these sneaky games are designed to affect processes like memory, problem-solving skills and even processing speed. But brain training games like Lumosity, Elevate and Brain Workshop might be more than just a way to kill time, especially when applied to training applications. Understand how and why they work and you might be able to unlock a new realm of engagement in your custom eLearning design projects.\nBrain Games for Learning\nResearch the effects of brain training and you\u2019ll get a pretty mixed bag of opinions. But whether or not it\u2019ll make you smarter isn\u2019t really the argument, here: It\u2019s whether or not brain training can actually create more effective learners.\nThere are a few characteristics that are shared among brain training apps and games that, when translated to eLearning projects, can create a cognitive learning atmosphere that is unequivocally more effective than flat initiatives. Regardless of what you think about brain training, it highlights psychological phenomenon that can make for more effective eLearning efforts.\nThe Psychology of Brain Training\nIf you\u2019ll look closely, you\u2019ll find that most brain training games and apps utilize the same techniques for improving cognition and thought process. That\u2019s because they rely on certain theories about the characteristics of the brain and how it works. Consider how the following concepts could enhance eLearning as a whole:\nMirror neurons. The brain contains a type of brain cell, called mirror neurons, that make it virtually incapable of distinguishing between watching something happen to someone and experiencing the same thing personally. It\u2019s why you automatically cringe when you see someone get hurt; your brain reacts as though you\u2019re experiencing the pain. When applied to an eLearning atmosphere, it could mean that situational examples and visual media (especially when experienced again and again in a game-like setting) can be just as effective as experiencing that situation personally.\nInstant gratification. We all know about endorphins: They\u2019re the feel-good hormones that flood your brain when you\u2019re happy or stimulated. Brain training games appeal to the part of human nature that wants to be immediately rewarded for effort. Using points, achievements or even completion percentages can help learners experience that same instant gratification, so they don\u2019t have to wait to see the fruits of their labor.\nThose cute characters and silly animations? They\u2019re not as superfluous as you think. Brain training games appeal to a brain process known as \u201cprimal aesthetic sense.\u201d When situations and visual stimuli are overly exaggerated, it engages the visual area of the brain and results in improved engagement and memory. By adding a little dramatic flair and focusing on exaggerated media, it\u2019s possible that learners could absorb information more effectively.\nBrain training apps might just seem like a harmless bit of fun and a way to stretch your memory and focus, but they can also provide a lesson in engaging eLearning. By utilizing some of the lessons learned from the theories behind these games and apps, you could be on the cusp of truly cognitive learning.",

        "raw_content": "3 Ways to Use Instructional Design to Generate An Emotional Response\nLike the last movie you watched, instructional design has the ability to evoke emotions, which can create a better overall response to the material. When learners become emotionally connected to the curriculum \u2013 whether it\u2019s through humor, understanding, teamwork or another emotion \u2013 they enjoy better performance and understanding. Of course, unlike a movie, you don\u2019t have access to actors and tearjerker storylines. Instead, you\u2019ll have to use tools at your disposal to elicit an emotional response.\n1. Get Personal Perspective\nYou\u2019ll have a hard time imagining the emotional connection that learners have if you can\u2019t form one yourself. By gaining perspective and viewing the instructional design from a learner\u2019s point of view, you may be better able to see where a connection could be made. If you\u2019re creating training materials based on a new sales method, for instance, consider not only how the new sales tactic will work, but how it will make the sales staff feel \u2013 relieved, energized, etc.\n2. Utilize Emotional Imagery\nGraphics and video have a way of creating an emotional connection that words sometimes miss. By utilizing graphics throughout the material, you\u2019re better able to show rather than just tell. Even something as simple as showing the proper way to use a new tool can help create a positive emotional connection between the material and its application for future reference. In short, learners should be able to imagine themselves in the situation.\n3. Create Personal Interactions\nBeing able to discuss, converse about and apply the new information with peers can help learners become more emotionally in-tune with the course material. Group discussions and social sharing allow learners to become emotionally invested in their course. The personal interactions create a positive learning environment and improve employee retention.",

This book has \u201cInspirational Examples from 137 Tangle Artists Worldwide\u201d, of WHICH I AM ONE! It is so exciting for me to be included in this book (although I must admit, I have no idea what my page looks like). Suzanne and Cindy contacted me to be included in this book while I was out of town in Massachusetts last May. I had no access to my computer at that time so I was unable to provide photos. They did their best by trying to recapture pictures from my website which were apparently minuscule when they tried to retrieve them (as most of you know, I am technically challenged!!). I\u2019m not sure how they performed their wizardry, but they must have managed something, because I\u2019m on Page 94! So, it will be a surprise for you and a surprise for me \ud83d\ude42\nI will have books in stock if any of you are interested in purchasing. Once they are in, you can stop by to pick your book up.\nThe publishing price is $24.99; however, if you order through me BY SEPTEMBER 1, 2013, and pick up from me once they are in, I am offering my students and followers a Special Price of $18.99. Contact me if you are interested and I will put you on the list \u2013 payment can be made at time of pickup.\nFiled under My Blogging Journey, Zentangle |\t2 Comments\nAnn Hathaway on July 30, 2013 at 2:09 PM said:\nYay for you, Bonnie! Well done, and congratulations. I\u2019m so proud of you and tickled pink to have you as a friend and Zentangle partner in Kansas! Can\u2019t wait to see your contribution.\nemeraldcitytangles on July 30, 2013 at 5:02 PM said:\nThanks, Ann! I am happy that we can continue to teach and share Zentangle with the Land of OZ!",

        "raw_content": "The Tymes in 1969\nCameo-Parkway, Columbia, RCA, MGM\nNorman Burnett\nDonald Banks (deceased)\nGeorge Hilliard (deceased)\nGeorge Williams (deceased)\nThe Tymes are an American soul vocal group who enjoyed equal success in the United Kingdom and in their homeland. They are one of the few acts to have one and only one chart-topper in both the US and UK with different songs.[1]\n3 Deceased members\n4.2 Billboard 200 albums chart\nThe group was formed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1956 as the Latineers, by Donald Banks (bass), Albert Berry (first tenor), Norman Burnett (baritone), and George Hilliard (second tenor).[2] After a four-year stint on Philadelphia's club circuit, they recruited a new lead vocalist, George Williams in 1960, and changed their name to The Tymes.[2]\nThe Tymes had hits in the UK in the 1960s with songs such as \"So Much in Love\", a US chart topper and million-seller in 1963,[3] \"Wonderful! Wonderful!\", a remake of the Johnny Mathis classic hit from 1957, \"Somewhere\", then in 1970s with \"You Little Trustmaker\" and \"Ms Grace\". The last of these became the group's biggest UK hit, reaching Number One in the UK Singles Chart in 1975,[3] but barely dented the Billboard Hot 100, long after the success of \"So Much in Love\". \"Ms Grace\", while only charting modestly in the US, was and remains a regional hit with the Carolina Beach Music scene.\nThe Tymes were also The Jewels (obviously not to be confused with the R&B girl group The Jewels), as in Billy Abbott and The Jewels, whose only Hot 100 and Cashbox Top 100 entry was \"Groovy Baby\" in July 1963.[4][5]\nIn 1963, American Bandstand signed the Tymes to Dick Clark's Caravan of Stars national US tour, which was scheduled to perform its 15th show on the night of November 22, 1963 at the Memorial Auditorium in Dallas, Texas, until suddenly the Friday evening event had to be cancelled after the US President John F. Kennedy was assassinated that afternoon while touring Dallas in an open-topped car.[6] [7]\nTheir song \"So Much in Love\" was elected to the Songs of the Century in 2001. In 2005 The Tymes were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame. The Tymes continue to perform with surviving original members Berry and Burnett. The group appeared on the 2003 PBS special My Music: Love Songs of the 50s and 60s, one of the last times all five original members performed live.\nDeceased members[edit]\nGeorge Williams - born George Reginald Williams Jr, December 6, 1935, Philadelphia \u2014 died July 28, 2004, Maple Shade, New Jersey - Lead vocalist[2]\nDonald Banks - died October 7, 2011, aged 72 - bass[8][9]\nGeorge Hilliard - died September 24, 2014, age 73 - second tenor[10]\nSingle (A-side, B-side)\n1963 \"So Much In Love\"\nb/w \"Roscoe James McClain\" (Non-album track) 1 21 So Much In Love\n\"Wonderful!

        "title": "Tips: Writing Query Letters \u2013 Erin Casey",
        "raw_content": "Tips: Writing Query Letters\nFebruary 24, 2016 February 23, 2016 Erin\nA few months ago I decided that I wanted to try out for the Zebulon contest through the Pikes Peak Writing Convention in Colorado. The goal is to submit 2,500 words of your story, write a mock query letter, and create a synopsis. Up until that point, I hadn\u2019t tried to write an official query letter. I had made a draft of one when I was a student at the Denver Publishing Institute, but that was more a trial and error attempt. It was very, very real for the Zebulon. They even created a mock agent that you had to address.\nI don\u2019t claim to be a perfect query letter writer, but after that experience, I do have some tips I would like to offer to those of you who are trying to get your novels published. You can try to go through a publishing company without an agent, but from what I\u2019ve read, you\u2019ll have a better shot if you have an agent at your back. So, here are just a few tips:\nResearch your agent: Know what he/she is looking for. You don\u2019t want to send a fantasy query to a person who only accepts non-fiction stories. Look at some of the stories he/she has already chosen. That might help you decide if you have the right fit.\nInclude information about the agent in your query. This makes the letter more personal and lets the agent know that you\u2019ve taken the time to research her. This may include mentioning the books she\u2019s acquired, or the types of things she likes to read.\nUnderstand the query guidelines for your agent. One mishap can cause your letter to get thrown in the garbage.\nMake your query letter only a page long, or follow the word count guidelines on the agency site.\nBe confident, but not cocky. Make the agent believe that you have confidence in yourself, but don\u2019t be arrogant.\nSell your book. Create a strong attention getter that makes the agent want to keep reading your query letter. Depending on what resource you go through, you might include the hook at the beginning of the letter, or right when you discuss your story.\nDon\u2019t talk too much about yourself. If you\u2019ve had work published, then include that, and the numbers too of how many books were sold. If you\u2019re a beginning writer\u2026don\u2019t say it. Just show that you\u2019re confident in your book.\nInclude word count in your query letter. Agents can often tell just how much revision you might need by the amount of words in your story (i.e. 300,000 words might be a red flag for a first time fantasy book).\nKnow your facts. If your book falls under a very popular genre that\u2019s sold millions of books, say it. This means that your book might be easier to sell, and therefore the agent might be more inclined to look it over.\nIf the agent asks for money upfront, RUN AWAY. This is not a legitimate agent. An agent should not be paid until your book has sold, and she\u2019ll take commission from that.\nSpell check. I can\u2019t emphasize this enough. One misspelling is a good way to get your query letter thrown out.\nThese are just a few things that I learned. If you want additional guidance, you can check out How to Write a Query Letter.\nThere are a lot of resources on the internet, but your best bet is to go through the agency website to see what they require. Good luck!\nPosted in Pick a Thread, Writing AdviceTagged advice, agents, Query letter, writing query letter\nPrevious postCreating God Systems\nNext postReview: Mahogony: A Love Letter To Black",

        "raw_content": "Narrow is the Gate \u2013 Part 1\nBy Jeff Tobler\tOctober 11, 2015 February 26th, 2017 Eternal Promises, Eternal Promises Radio Show, Teachings, Verses\n/radio-show/EP-Radio-Show-2015-10-11-Narrow-Door.mp3\nJesus says there are only two doors (or gates) and only two paths that people choose in this life. But according to Jesus, only ONE of them leads to LIFE. In this Eternal Promises Radio Show broadcast, Jeff Tobler walks us through the meaning behind Jesus\u2019 difficult saying of \u201cNARROW is the gate and DIFFICULT is the path that leads to Life!\u201d\nListen to ALL broadcasts1\nWelcome to Eternal Promises Radio Show. I\u2019m your host, Jeff Tobler. I want to personally thank you for joining the broadcast today and remind you by way of encouragement that \u201cthis is the promise God has promised us, even Eternal Life!\u201d (1 John 2:25)\nBecause, \u201call of the promises of God in Christ are \u201cYES\u201d and in Him, \u201cAMEN\u201d. (2 Cor 1:20)\nThose two verses, 1 John 2:25 and 2 Cor 1:20 are our two foundational verses.\nBut today we\u2019re going to discuss the eternal promise found in Matthew 7:14 where Jesus promises \u201cnarrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it\u201d\nThe promise of Jesus involves the two doors (or gates) that Jesus warns about, and the two paths (or ways) associated with each door. He\u2019s telling us to be very careful about our choice, because the destination of each path is markedly different and our choice in this life on this earth determines where we will spend eternity, in the blessed paradise-like presence of God which we often call Heaven, or in the tormentingly painful lake of fire, which we often call Hell. Now we can go through these two destinations in detail, but which one would you choose, if you had the choice?\nYes, most reasonable people will choose Heaven. And most people believe they are going to Heaven when they die. But this an area that you want to review to make SURE you have met the conditions God requires.\nIn Jesus\u2019 teaching, He was very specific about the requirements for entering into the Kingdom of God and enduring to the end. It starts with choosing the correct Door by which we enter. He said their are two doors and two paths, contrary to many \u201cspiritual leaders\u201d leading many astray by telling them that there are many paths to God and that they ALL lead to God and Eternal Life. No, quite the contrary. There are two paths and only One of them leads to Eternal Life. Choosing which door is crucial, because the door you choose and the path you take determines your ultimate outcome.\nAs I\u2019ve said before, God\u2019s promises are two-fold. For every blessed promise there is an equally real promise of consequences or curses that we choose to receive because we have disobeyed the voice of the Lord. Here Jesus contrasts the two promises:\nLet\u2019s hear directly from Jesus:\nThe Voice says it this way:\n\u201cThere are two paths before you; you may take only one path. One doorway is narrow. And one door is wide. Go through the narrow door. For the wide door leads to a wide path, and the wide path is broad; the wide, broad path is easy, and the wide, broad, easy path has many, many people on it; but the wide, broad, easy, crowded path leads to death. Now then that narrow door leads to a narrow road that in turn leads to life. It is hard to find that road. Not many people manage it.\u201d\nSo Jesus makes it very clear for us. Please don\u2019t miss this point. Jesus is urging people to choose wisely, based upon God\u2019s will for them, that they wouldn\u2019t perish. It\u2019s awesome to think how caring our Father is to send Jesus to help us to see very clearly the Way or Path we must travel\u2026 the path that leads to life!\nThe word picture Jesus is painting for is two gates each leading to a path. The one gate that is very narrow leads to a difficult or constricting path filled with denying ourselves for the Lord\u2019s will to be done in our life and the life of others.\nMost won\u2019t choose this path, and yet this is the one Jesus, the Son of God, says we should choose. Did you hear that? Most reasonable, some very intelligent at that, won\u2019t choose the wise path that leads to eternal life.\nNotice I said some of these are very intelligent. And they are. But make no mistake, we could be a Harvard graduate with honors and still fail to choose wisely. And sadly that makes one a fool according to the Lord. Raw intelligence is not the same as wisdom.\nThere are some incredibly wise folks who have no high school diploma. And in case you\u2019re wondering, there are some highly educated intelligent people who also have great wisdom in choosing the Lord and His narrow path.\nLet\u2019s read what Jesus said:\nSo, the Promise involves two doors (or gates) that Jesus warns about, and two paths (or ways) associated with each door. He\u2019s telling us to be very careful about our choice, because the destination of each path is markedly different and our choice in this life on this earth determines where we will spend eternity, whether it will be in the blessed paradise-like presence of God referred to as Heaven, or in the tormentingly painful lake of fire, referred to as Hell.\nLet\u2019s discuss in further detail that gate that leads to destruction which is very large and wide and very well worn. It\u2019s a crowded path filled with ease and self-fulfillment.\nThis easy, broad, self-centered path of ease is the one Jesus warns us NOT to travel, yet the Lord says most DO choose this path. We understand this to some degree, don\u2019t we?\nWe joke about lemmings blindly following the other lemmings to their demise. In fact, we tell our children, just because others are doing the wrong thing doesn\u2019t mean you have to.\nBut that\u2019s the way it is, the blind lead the blind. And the larger the crowd headed over the cliff, the more the majority is convinced they are going in the right direction.\nBut according to Jesus, Christianity is not a democracy where the majority decides. No, the right way is according the Jesus teachings alone, and He says FEW will be walking this path of life.\nIn fact, let me share a scene from the sixth chapter of John to show you how few even listened to Jesus:\nIn this chapter, crowds come to see and hear Jesus teach. Jesus draws a wonderful illustration about Him being the Bread of Life (or the food of life) \u2026 in other words, is it TRUE spiritual nourishment and if we digest Him, His teachings, His very pattern of life with our whole heart, we will have eternal life!\nLet\u2019s read portions of it.\nJesus:\u2026 \u201cI am the bread that gives life. Your fathers ate manna in the wilderness, and they died as you know. But there is another bread that comes from heaven; if you eat this bread, you will not die. I am the living bread that has come down from heaven to rescue those who eat it. Anyone who eats this bread will live forever. The bread that I will give breathes life into the cosmos. This bread is My flesh.\u201d\nThe low whispers of some of Jesus\u2019 detractors turned into an out- and- out debate.\nCrowd: What is He talking about? How is He able to give us His flesh to eat?\nJesus: \u201cI tell you the truth; unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you will not know life. If you eat My flesh and drink My blood, then you will have eternal life and I will raise you up at the end of time. My flesh and blood provide true nourishment. If you eat My flesh and drink My blood, you will abide in Me and I will abide in you. The Father of life who sent Me has given life to Me; and as you eat My flesh, I will give life to you. This is bread that came down from heaven; I am not like the manna that your fathers ate and then died! If you eat this bread, your life will never end.\u201d\nHe spoke these words in the synagogue as part of His teaching mission in Capernaum. Many disciples heard what He said, and they had questions of their own.\nDisciples: How are we supposed to understand all of this? It is a hard teaching.\nJesus was aware that even His disciples were murmuring about this.\nJesus: \u201cHas My teaching offended you? What if you were to see the Son of Man ascend to return to where He came from? The Spirit brings life. The flesh has nothing to offer. The words I have been teaching you are spirit and life, but some of you do not believe.\u201d\nFrom the first day Jesus began to call disciples, He knew those who did not have genuine faith. He knew, too, who would betray Him.\nJesus: \u201cThis is why I have been telling you that no one comes to Me without the Father\u2019s blessing and guidance.\nAfter hearing these teachings, many of His disciples walked away and no longer followed Jesus\u201d\nYou see, this wasn\u2019t difficult \u2013 or it didn\u2019t have to be. Jesus had made it VERY clear a few verses prior, but they hardened their hearts against Him. Listen to what Jesus taught and see how simple it is to understand:\nJesus: \u201cI am the bread that gives life. If you come to My table and eat, you will never go hungry. Believe in Me, and you will never go thirsty. Here I am standing in front of you, and still you don\u2019t believe. All that My Father gives to Me comes to Me. I will receive everyone; I will not send away anyone who comes to Me. And here\u2019s the reason:I have come down from heaven not to pursue My own agenda but to do what He desires. I am here on behalf of the Father who sent Me. He sent Me to care for all He has given Me so that nothing and no one will perish. In the end, on the last day, He wants everything to be resurrected into new life. 40 So if you want to know the will of the Father, know this:everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him will live eternally; and on the last day, I am the One who will resurrect him\u201d\nWe been learning about the narrow door and the difficult path Jesus promised leads to Eternal Life. Pretty eye-opening, isn\u2019t it?\nIn Luke\u2019s Gospel Account Jesus says:\n\u201cStrive to enter through the narrow door now, because many people\u2014hear Me on this\u2014will try to enter later on and will not be able to.\u201d (Luke 13:24 VOICE)\nStrive is a strong word and I know the Lord means what He says.\nWell, what if you find yourself on the broad path? The answer is very simple. Simply do a U-turn, go back to and through the small gate and start traveling on the narrow path.\nToday, if you are hearing this broadcast, this message is for you. I urge you to take Him seriously today and to please God by listening to and obeying His beloved Son, Jesus. Don\u2019t delay.\nI want you to enter into the narrow door who\u2019s name is Jesus. He said: \u201cI am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.\u201d\nAnd guess what, He is not only the Door but also the Way or the Path. Do you remember what He spoke to His disciples in John 14:6? He promised saying \u201cI am the Way, the Truth, and the Life, no one comes to the Father except through Me\u201d\nDid you hear that? If you enter through Jesus you will be saved, and if you follow Him all your days, you will enter into eternal life when you die and be in the presence of your Heavenly Father forever.\nJesus is the door and the path. Once again, He\u2019s made it so simple that a child can believe. He\u2019s an awesome God!\nReceive Jesus and receive the free gift of salvation, the Promise of the Holy Spirit, and rejoice in the love of the Father that He would so lavishly spend His Son on us to save us from eternal damnation and the Lake of fire and to place our names in the Book of Life that we would now be able to spend eternity in His blessed presence.\nIf you haven\u2019t yet received the Lord and experienced the gift of being freely forgiven, but would like to receive Jesus and start following Him, learning from Him about the fullness of God and of His will, than let\u2019s pray together and if you mean it from your heart, God will honor the prayer and do what He has promised to do. You have his word on it, and God cannot lie.\n\u201cFather in Heaven: I confess that I\u2019m a sinner. I have sinned aginst you and I need a savior. Thank you for sending Jesus to die for my sins. I believe with all my heart that He was raised from the grave on the third day, defeating death.\nI confess Jesus as my Lord and Savior. I repent of living for myself, and give my whole life to you, Heavenly Father.\nThank you for your amazing love, for adopting me into your family, and for the gift of salvation! For this day forward, I will serve Jesus Christ as my King and I give my full allegiance to Your Kingdom and your laws.\nI pray this in Jesus\u2019 name. Amen!\u201d\nIf you prayed that prayer you have just been granted privileged access into the Kingdom of God and become a child of the living God. Because this is the promise He has promised us, even Eternal Life!\nWhen we receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, our old nature is buried with Christ \u2013 and become a new creation. You\u2019ve been spiritually reborn with a new heart, and new nature by the regeneration of the Holy Spirit.\nThe Spirit of Christ is in you and will help you finish the journey the He has just begun in you. Your job is too simply love Him with all your heart, soul, mind and strength. And do His will!\nNow, to help you get started, we have an online resource. Go to EternalPromises.org/newlife and you will find help, direction, and encouragement.\nSome of the first steps are to find a solid fellowship of believers. Second, immediately get water baptized in obedience to Jesus\u2019 command.\nAnd I want you to let us know that you\u2019ve received Eternal Life today. Go to eternalpromises.org/newlife and fill out the NEW LIFE form so we can walk along side you, encourage you, and send you FREE resources to equip you on your new journey.\nIf you don\u2019t have a fellowship or can\u2019t make Sunday servces, I want to encourage you to join us every Saturday at 6pm at St Clair Christian Church. We have live worship and praise and relevant teaching. Details are online at eternalpromises.org/st-clair.\nThe Lord richly bless you!\nbroadcastdifficult is the wayJesus' teachingsnarrow is the gatenarrow is the gate seriesradio show\nPrevious PostNarrow is the Gate - Part 2\nNext PostForgiveness of Sins\nEternal Promises Radio Show - \"Narrow is the Gate\" Part 2 - Eternal Promises says:\n[\u2026] The first part of this 2-part series is here: http://eternalpromises.org/narrow-is-the-gate [\u2026]",

        "raw_content": "Excellence Reporter: Karuna, what is the meaning of life?\nKaruna Cayton: Simply said, the meaning of life is to live a meaningful life. The meaning of life is to be happy. This life we have is like treasure hidden in our basement. It\u2019s value is inexpressible. The problem is that most of us never dare to venture into the basement and thus never realize the wealth we have stored within us. In a sense, the wealth of this life, the happiness of this life, exists only as untapped potential.\nSo, I would say the meaning of life is to access, to explore and develop, our unlimited potential dormant within our being. This is the key to happiness.\nThis unlimited potential is the very nature of our mind itself. We all explore, investigate, develop, capitalize on the outer environment. Almost our entire life is spent trying to get the external environment \u201cright\u201d so that we feel happy and secure. But this is like rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic. The external world is in a constant flow of change. It is never static. It is not reliable. It is the nature of the outside world \u2013 our homes, our communities, the earth \u2013 to change. To attempt to place our happiness and security in something that is constantly changing is a failed formula from the beginning. And yet, that is what most cultures and societies are taught.\nWe live our whole life struggling to make ends meet, going to work day in and day out for decades, not knowing that if we just ventured into the basement, explore the depths of our consciousness, we would be freed from the endless struggle that ends in death.\nI believe the meaning of life is to be happy. I believe happiness is found within by training the mind, accessing our unlimited potential. In developing our inner qualities of wisdom and compassion \u2013 securing the welfare for ourselves AND others \u2013 is the true key to happiness\u2026the meaning of life.\n~Karuna Cayton,\nSince 1994 I have worked as a psychotherapist, business psychologist, and coach to help people achieve happiness through mental health. As the founder of the Karuna Group, (www.TheKarunaGroup.com) based in Soquel, California, my work is dedicated to bringing the universal principles of Buddhist psychology to people in simple and clear terms so they can use these ideas in their everyday life. In doing so, they are able to discover greater personal happiness and in the workplace, contribute to a more healthy and harmonious organizational culture.\nMy practice is unique and developed through a circuitous and immensely satisfying route. I am a dedicated student of Lama Zopa Rinpoche, a Tibetan Buddhist master, and his late mentor, Lama Thubten Yeshe. Over forty years ago, as a young undergraduate majoring in Asian Studies, I went to Nepal on the school\u2019s study abroad program. At the request of Lama Yeshe I returned to Nepal to teach English to the monks at Kopan Monastery and to institute a Western Studies Program there. I stayed for twelve years.\nOn returning to the US, I earned a Master\u2019s Degree in clinical psychology at JFK University. Subsequently, I worked at the Children\u2019s Health Council at Stanford University and was a member of the training in Narrative Therapy at Mental Research Institute (MRI) in Palo Alto.\nIn 2012 my book, The Misleading Mind, was published by New World Library. This book presents Buddhist psychology in practical, everyday language for both non-Buddhists and Buddhists alike. I regularly teach classes and trainings in Buddhist psychology and The Misleading Mind.\nIn addition to my therapy and coaching practice, I served for 28 years on the board of the FPMT (www.fpmt.org), a large Buddhist organization with over 160 centers and projects around the world, including North and South Americas, Europe, Asia, Middle East,\nAfrica and the Pacific.\nCategories: Awakening, Buddhism, Psychology",

In our previous articles, we discussed the senses of sight, sound, and taste. Let\u2019s move now to the sense of smell.\nSMELL IS STIMULATED BY EMOTION\nSmell works exactly the same way that your taste buds do. The two senses are inner connected. When a smell is ignited by the engagement of something physical, then that is the same physical reaction of your senses that we have spoken about in previous articles. The soul\u2019s sense of smell, on the other hand, is stimulated by emotion.\nWhen you are having a memory that stirs something inside of you and you can smell something, especially when that something isn\u2019t physically present in the room, then that is your soul speaking to you.\nRead more here: http://www.gaiamtv.com/article/phantom-dna-and-souls-sense-smell",

        "title": "Jo\u00ebl Plouffe: Arctic Claims of EU, China and India; Resource Exploration/Exploitation",
        "raw_content": "Jo\u00ebl Plouffe was born in the mining town of Sudbury, in Northern Ontario, Canada, and is now living in Montr\u00e9al, Qu\u00e9bec where he is working on his PhD thesis at the Department of Political Science of UQAM, looking at how the Arctic has influenced US foreign policy making from the Nixon presidency to President Barack Obama\u2019s first mandate< The interview with Jo\u00ebl Plouffe about the Arctic consists of two other parts as well:\nMh3>Arctic claims of EU, China and India\nWhich non-Arctic countries have claimed their stake in the region, and how, and what are their chances of gaining more influence there?\nWhile the flag planting and claiming territory years are behind us (actions that would lead to open armed conflicts between states for territory), non-Arctic states are definitely interested in whatever economic opportunities that might emerge in the region, let it be accessible and profitable shipping routes, accessing oil and gas resources, or promoting extractive activities by their transnational corporations or state owned enterprises in various Arctic countries. Non-Arctic states have a vested interest in Arctic stability and maintaining this space as a \u2018zone of peace\u2019. For example, the European Union \u201crecognises the remarkable international cooperation already established between Arctic states and within the different Arctic regional fora. Maintaining good international cooperation in the Arctic region and supporting cooperation in the region\u2019s stability is a key interest of the European Union\u201d (European Commission, 2012), like it has been since the end of the Cold War (through its signing of the Kirkenes Declaration in 1993 and establishing the EU Northern Dimension, for example).\nOutsiders to the Arctic region also recognise that the Arctic Council is the main forum for regional cooperation, therefore seek to gain additional influence by participating in the regional dialogue. For example some states like China and India, or organizations of states like the EU, wish to gain observer status inside de AC. Some states like Canada appear reluctant to having more observers integrate the AC (there are currently six AC state Observers: France, Germany, The Netherlands, Poland, Spain and the United Kingdom), arguing that the Arctic Council is fundamentally a forum for regional cooperation between Arctic states and peoples, and that outsiders who wish to influence governance structures of the Arctic could do so in appropriate forums like the UN (for the Law of the Sea) or the International Maritime Organisation (IMO, for shipping). Others disagree with that perspective, stating that world powers like China or the EU should be granted observer status in the AC since they have legitimate interests in the Arctic. In a nutshell, Observers of the AC are invited to the Council\u2019s meetings and activities, have an exclusive access to the Council proceedings, can submit relevant documents to the states and participants, and can also make statements, if granted the right to do so by the Chair of the AC (Arctic states hold revolving two year chairmanships of the 1996). All observer parties like states (i.e. France or Germany) or organisations (like WWF or the Association of World Reindeer Herders) have identical and equal rights, and of course have no voting/veto powers. As of January 2013, there were twelve countries and organizations applying for observer status of the AC: People\u2019s Republic of China; Italian Republic; State of Japan, Republic of Korea; Republic of Singapore; Republic of India; European Union; Oceana; Association of Oil and Gas Producers (OGP); OSPAR Commission; Greenpeace; and the International Hydrographic Organisation (IHO).\nI personally appreciate the Gwich\u2019in Council International\u2019s perspective on this issue or debate on the future of the AC, voiced through its Executive Director Bridget Larocque:\n\u201cThe indigenous peoples appreciate the support offered by Observers of the Arctic Council and recognize that cooperation and collaboration not only advances their work but their indigenous agenda as well. However, as new applications have been submitted, the Permanent Participants\u2019 unwavering message is that prospective Observers clearly demonstrate how their presence will enhance the role and increase the participation of the Permanent Participants in the Arctic Council. The Permanent Participants are very cautious about some applications, as it is not enough to say that Observers will be sensitive to the needs and rights of the indigenous peoples; they also need to show their track record. New Observers have to accept the Arctic Council\u2019s governance structure, as this is the only international forum that guarantees that the voice of the Arctic People gets heard\u201d (Arctic Yearbook, 2012).\nExploration and Exploitation of Arctic Natural Resources\nGiven the uncertainty regarding climate, hydrocarbons reserves and technological possibilities in the Arctic, what are the most likely scenarios for the exploitation of natural resources in the Arctic?\nIt all depends on the region we are looking at (access, infrastructure) and the real interest companies have in exploring and eventually extracting hydrocarbons from various areas of the Arctic. At this time, exploration is continuing in the Barents Sea, and increasing in parts of Baffin Bay off Greenland and Canada, the Beaufort, Chukchi and Greenland Seas. This is likely to continue as the world economy seeks new supplies, and companies look for profits. In fact, after investing more than $4 billion dollars over six years to access US Arctic waters, Shell started drilling on the sea floor off Alaska\u2019s North Slope for the first time on 9 September 2012, before trying to push even further north into the waters of the Chukchi Sea. Drilling was halted by Shell on the next day, 10 September 2012: encroaching and threatening sea ice spotted by satellite images forced Shell to shut down its operations and relocate, and eventually start over in the Summer of 2013.\nArctic operations are technically challenging, risky, dangerous and very expensive. Climate change and melting polar sea ice might drive major companies to continue to invest in Arctic exploration, but then again many (economic) factors must be aligned for extraction to happen and to get those resources down to markets in the South. As reminded by Willy \u00d8streng, \u201cindications are that harvesting of these resources may not happen as fast and on such a scale as many observers seem to take for granted, at least not in the immediate to medium term future. Development of new production sites takes time, up to 30 years of completion\u201d (\u00d8streng, 2012:275).\nEnvironmental concerns will continue to make such exploration very perilous for any company determined to \u2018risk it North\u2019 and try to tap Arctic oil and gas resources. The French transnational corporation, Total, who is one of those rare companies like Shell, Statoil or BP that have cold weather hydrocarbon extraction expertise and export technologies for that industry, has warned in 2012 against oil drilling in the Arctic (while continuing its gas ventures in Russian and Norwegian waters). The US government has recently launched a review of Shell\u2019s Arctic drilling programme, following a series of mishaps in the Far North, like the grounding of one of its floating drill rigs, the Kulluk, off the coast of Alaska on New Years eve 2012. While exploration continues to happen every summer (it has been going on for decades in the Arctic), profits from offshore drilling in the Arctic are still unknown of (except maybe for Statoil\u2019s offshore LNG operations at Sn\u00f8vhit in the Norwegian Sea). The Barents Sea is definitely an area to watch closely for emerging offshore extractive activities in the coming years.\n\u2190 Saul Cohen: Geopolitical Review 2012 \u2013 Events that Impacted US Foreign Policy\nJo\u00ebl Plouffe: Arctic Council, Circumpolar Governance, Environmental Cooperation \u2192",

        "raw_content": "Researcher Found that Sugar Supplement Slows Tumor Growth and Enhance Chemotherapy in Mice Models\nIn a new study, funded by Worldwide Cancer Research and Cancer Research UK, researchers have discovered that a type of sugar called \u2018Mannose\u2019 can slow tumor growth and improve chemotherapy in mouse models of multiple types of cancers.\nThe research could result in better understanding of how the nutritional sugar supplement can be used in potential therapy for cancer, according to the researchers whose findings were featured in the journal Nature. Cancerous tissues tend to use more glucose than other body tissues, but it has been a challenging task to control the amount of glucose in the body through diet alone.\nLead author Professor Kevin Ryan from Cancer Research UK Beatson Institute explained that as tumors require high amount of glucose to grow, limiting the amount they can utilize should reduce the cancer progression. However, the healthy tissues also need glucose, making it difficult to completely remove it from the body, he added.\nIn the new study, the research team found that a dosage of mannose could block enough sugar to slow tumor growth, without affecting the normal tissue. Although it is an early research, finding such ideal balance means, in the future, cancer patients can be given mannose to enhance the effects of chemotherapy, without causing any damage to the overall health, Ryan said.\nFor the study, the researchers investigated the response of mice with lung, pancreatic, or skin cancer, when mannose was added in their drinking water and given as an oral treatment. They found that addition of the supplement significantly slowed the tumor growth and caused no side effects to the mice.\nIn the following experiment, the researchers tested the effect of mannose in cancer treatment. Here, the mice were treated with doxorubicin and cisplatin, two of the most commonly used drugs for chemotherapy. It was discovered that mannose not only slow the growth of tumor but also enhance the effects of chemotherapy, leading to decrease in the size of tumors and increased life span of some mice.\nFurthermore, the researchers examined the effects of mannose in various types of cancer such as osteosarcoma, leukemia, bowel and ovarian cancer. They cultured cancer cells in the lab and treated them with the sugar supplement. While few cells responded well to the treatment, others did not. Additionally, presence of an enzyme that breaks the sugar in the cells indicated effectiveness of the treatment.\nProfessor Ryan said that team\u2019s next aim is to discover why mannose treatment is effective only in some cells, so that they can find out which cancer patients can benefit the most from this approach.\nTagged Tumor\nPrevious Post: China Wants Trade Talks with the U.S. to be Equal and Mutually Beneficial\nNext Post: Poorest are Dying about 10 Years Younger than the Rich, Says Researchers in England",

        "raw_content": "by FACTURAL \u00b7 Published March 21, 2018 \u00b7 Updated December 20, 2018\nThese microscopic water-dwelling animals are found everywhere in the world. They are mostly found in Volcanoes, The Antarctica, Mountaintops, and Tropical Forests, rivers, and the deep sea. What amazes scientists today about this creature is the fact that even though it seems to be a weak, tiny eight-legged animal which can only be seen under a microscope, It is, in fact, the most indestructible animal to exist. This animal is the Tardigrade, or commonly known as the Water Bear. Once a group of dehydrated Tardigrades was taken from a museum sample of dried moss and they were over 100 years old and brought back to life when hydrated. Tardigrades can live up to 30 years without food or water.\nThe largest this animal can get is approximately 1.5mm\nTardigrades are the only creatures found to survive in the vacuum pressure of space. If we humans went into space without protection we would die straight away. Scientists attached a group of thousand Tardigrades to a satellite and sent them over to space and when they were returned, surprisingly they were still alive. Some females even laid eggs and the hatchlings were healthy. This raises the question, could there be life on other planets besides earth? after all, there are 100 billion planets in our solar system alone and are approximately two trillion galaxies in our entire universe. Think about how many planets there may be in one of every two trillion galaxies in the entire universe. Surely we can\u2019t be alone, can we? Anything is possible but we won\u2019t truly ever know until we discover.\nThis Wood frog can survive winter completely frozen into ice. Once it melts during spring, the freeze doesn\u2019t seem to have had any effect on it.\nTardigrades can withstand boiling temperatures of 150\u00b0 C, and temperatures below -200\u00b0C according to researchers. These animals, no matter what you do, whether you boil them, step on them, freeze them, deprive them of food or water, they will still survive. In fact, researchers say that the tardigrade can even survive a meteor impact!\nThese animals are said to be found almost everywhere, even as far as some of the vegetables we eat or the water we drink. However, they don\u2019t survive the stomach acid when they get to our stomachs so we can be somewhat thankful for that. Tardigrades survive anything by radiation, pressure, toxins, temperature, dehydration, and outer space, but they can\u2019t survive acidic environments.\nKangaroo Rat doesn\u2019t drink water, no matter how hot and dry the land is. They feed on seeds that are dry but they obtain the water by the metallic oxidation in the seeds.\nThey feed on plants, bacteria, and sometimes even their own species. It is researched that each group of tardigrades are either carnivorous, omnivorous or phytophagous (feed entirely on plants).\n7 Crab Facts\nDale Vanloh says:\nNext story 10 Foods You Thought Were Healthy But Surprisingly Are Not\nPrevious story The Coral Reefs",

The female lowland gorilla was born on the 4th of July in 1971, and was originally named Hanabiko, which is Japanese for \u201cfireworks child.\u201d\nKoko was famous for her remarkable social skills, namely her ability to communicate with humans through American Sign Language. Koko, as part of psychologist Penny Patterson\u2019s thesis project, was taught to sign when she was still an infant. Over the years she acquired well over 1,000 signs, 600 of which she used on a regular basis. Originally based at the San Francisco Zoo, Patterson\u2019s project is now considered the longest running ape language study in the world.\nBy the time she was seven years old, Koko had already become a household name. She appeared twice on the cover of National Geographic\u2014a 1978 cover in which she famously took her own picture in a mirror, and a 1985 cover in which she famously snuggles her pet kitten.\nKoko, the gorilla known for sign language, has passed away at the age of 46. Here she is on the cover of the 1985 National Geographic. #RIPKoko \ud83e\udd8d pic.twitter.com/U95wNsGdWy\n\u2014 Nat Geo Channel (@NatGeoChannel) June 21, 2018\nResearcher say Koko, who enjoyed picture books based on the \u201cThree Little Kittens\u201d and \u201cPuss in Boot\u201d stories, asked for a pet cat in 1983 and flatly refused a stuffed animal substitute, saying it made her \u201csad.\u201d Finally she was granted a kitten, which she named All Ball. Koko would play with the kitten for hours, but when All Ball was fed up with being babied she\u2019d wiggle away from Koko, prompting the gorilla to sign \u201cobnoxious\u201d and \u201ccat.\u201d Sadly, All Ball was struck and killed by a car just six months later. Koko appeared to express sadness over losing the pet, signing \u201ccat,\u201d \u201ccry,\u201d \u201chave-sorry,\u201d and \u201cKoko-love.\u201d\nKoko would go on to meet with such celebrities and Betty White, Fred Rogers and Robin Williams. In 2012, she learned to play the recorder, showing that gorillas are capable of controlling their breathing, a capacity previously thought impossible for nonhuman primates. In 1976, the Gorilla Foundation was formed to house Koko and a male gorilla named Michael, who also knew how to sign and died in 2000. It took on another male named Ndume in 1991, who was housed alongside Koko until her death this past Tuesday.\nOver the course of the sign language project, some critics, such as linguist Noam Chomsky and cognitive scientist Steven Pinker, complained that Koko didn\u2019t really understand what she was doing or saying, and that she was merely copying the researchers\u2019 hand movements, or trying to earn rewards and praise. This is becoming an increasingly minority position given what scientists are learning about primate intelligence and their innate communication skills.\nResearchers have since taught other great apes to sign, including chimps, bonobos, and orangutans. It\u2019s generally agreed that, while these animals can learn to convey words in meaningful ways, they lack the capacity for syntax and proper grammar. When signing, Koko and other primates express a word here or there, sometimes stringing several words together to express more complicated meanings. But as for uttering complex, grammatically correct sentences, that\u2019s considered beyond their capacities.\nNonhuman primates cannot speak like us because they don\u2019t have human-like vocal cords, which can close fully. Nonhuman primates have also been taught to communicate with keyboards, expressing themselves through graphics-based, symbolic languages.",

This podcast is designed as a collection of thoughts, ideas and practical tips on using marginal gains to help your agency new business endeavors. Small Spark Theory is hosted and created by Lucy Mann, founder of Gunpowder Consulting. Based on over 25 years of new business practice, Gunpowder\u2019s mission is to help agencies take control of the new business process, create effective marketing plans and provide tools to measure success. For more information, please visit gunpowderconsulting.com.\nLucy Mann: Welcome back to Small Spark Theory. I\u2019m delighted to have with me here today Felix Velarde. Welcome, Felix.\nFelix Velarde: Hello.\nLucy: Felix was introduced to me through a mutual colleague a couple of years ago. We chatted about new business and about consulting. In preparation for today, I\u2019ve just been reading through Felix\u2019s bio and it\u2019s one of those CVs that makes you wonder what on Earth you\u2019ve been doing with your life. For those of you that haven\u2019t come across Felix before he started one of the first web design companies, Hyperinteractive. He\u2019s adjunct professor at Hult International Business school on the MBA and master\u2019s program.\nHe\u2019s working with the Internet\u2019s co-inventor, Vint Cerf. He\u2019s consultant, non-exec director and chairman of a number of agencies in London and LA and is consulting and mentoring agency leaders. When he\u2019s not doing all of that, he\u2019s also a glider pilot and a burner but most importantly Felix tell us about being a burner?\nFelix: Burning Man is my passion and I\u2019ve kind of redesigned my life around being able to have as much fun as I possibly can. Each year, I go and take part in Burning Man. I\u2019m part of the theme camp that gives away 10 grand\u2019s worth of cocktails during the week and is epic fun. I\u2019m already planning this year\u2019s trip, which will happen at the end of August.\nLucy: Sorry, \u00a310,000 worth of cocktails?\nFelix: $10,000 worth of cocktails and it\u2019s fun.\nLucy: Okay. Just going to think about that a moment.\nFelix: Imagine the chaos, that\u2019s exactly what it\u2019s like.\nLucy: Well, cocktails aside, one of the reasons that I wanted to get you to come and talk to us on Small Spark Theory is I saw your talk at The Drum New Business Conference, Brief Encounters, in November last year. One of the things that struck me was that you were using a really smart technique for planning. One of the things that I\u2019ve noticed over the past few years working with agencies is getting them to use planning effectively.\nCertainly, in terms of marketing a new business planning or growth planning in my experience it tends to be a bit haphazard or they\u2019ll go to the other extreme and put together a plan that\u2019s really involved, quite complex and then just gets forgotten or it takes too long and everybody gets a bit disillusioned and a bit bored with the whole process. The techniques that you were using struck me as being really workable and an easy way or relatively easy way for agencies to quickly be able to pull something together and start to make some progress.\nI\u2019m really, really interested for us to explore that a little bit today but it\u2019d be really useful for the listeners if you could just give us a little bit of background on the Felix story so far.\nFelix: Well I started my first agency in 1994, more or less by accident and largely because I was completely unemployable. The Internet \u2013 the World Wide Web \u2013 had grabbed my attention. I had a great business partner and we started one of the first web design companies as you said, Hyperinteractive. A couple of years later, I started an agency called Head New Media and that became the Digital arm of Lowe (which is MullenLowe now).\nI\u2019ve had a series of relatively first-in-market agencies in online PR and interactive television and kind of invented eCRM by borrowing CRM from Mei Lin Fung, who co-invented it at Oracle. I\u2019ve had six agencies all in. I\u2019ve run The Conversation Group which was a collection of 12 agencies. Then about two and a half years ago, so the end of 1994, I decided that I\u2019d done my time, I\u2019d done 20 years of running agencies and agency groups and I wanted to end that career.\nI sold my last agency and got into consulting and chairing agencies, and putting into place development plans, essentially, taking an agency that had potential but wasn\u2019t realizing it, and turning it around and giving the founders and owners clear direction and clear, competitive differentiation and helping them grow. I\u2019ve been very fortunate over the last couple of years. I now have eight agencies, which I\u2019m non-executive director of.\nI\u2019ve got a few clients here in London and in Los Angeles that I consult with. I\u2019ve just started a new practice of helping people set up agencies and position them for growth, putting in place growth strategies but through new business and through differentiation and through alignment, which are the three biggest problems that we always get. So far, touch wood, every single one of the agencies that I\u2019ve worked with has grown at least one and a half times over the last 12 months. Yes, it\u2019s fun. It\u2019s great fun.\nLucy: That\u2019s amazing results. That\u2019s great results.\nFelix: The common factor actually is, if I\u2019m really brutal, the common factor is, any plan is better than no plan. I\u2019ve had a career as a strategist in digital and a career at finding clear, blue water for agencies and making certain that they are very highly differentiated from the rest of the market. I think if you add three things: one is, a plan with a process for achieving the plan; competitive differentiation, so clear, blue water between where you sit and what the rest of the market does; and total alignment internally. If you get those three things right, more or less, you can only outperform the market. That\u2019s what I spend my time doing. That\u2019s what I\u2019ve spent the last couple of years doing, and it works.\nLucy: You talk about the agencies that come to you for help. What are the usual triggers for them to think, \u201cActually, we need someone like Felix on board\u201d?\nFelix: There are two. Most recently, obviously, the new practice of setting up agencies and helping define the proposition and creating the plan for them. That\u2019s people who are really, really ambitious and they want to start and they\u2019re not really sure where to start. I think most agencies start because they have a client and they don\u2019t want to pass. I think if you plan it rationally, it gives you a flying start. That\u2019s interesting. The rest of them, largely, if they can see that there\u2019s an opportunity to go for a high-value exit, say being valued at \u00a310 or \u00a312 million to the shareholders on exit in, say, three years\u2019 time.\nThey don\u2019t really know how to get there, and they\u2019ve been stagnating for the last three, four, or five years. I think most agencies go through the boom and bust and feast and famine cycles just because they don\u2019t have a steady plan where every single person in the organisation knows which way they\u2019re going and knows that it\u2019s just about turning the handle on machine. I think if you create that machine in an easy enough way and a clear enough way, you can inculcate that. You can make that process part of the culture, get people aligned, and head all of you in the right direction.\nI guess it\u2019s people who are frustrated that they\u2019re not quite getting the offers that they want to get, and really want to make more out of it. My specialty is taking companies through two or three of the standard ceilings that happen at 1, 2, 5, and 10 million turnover and getting them through that, through great process. To some extent, I\u2019ve done it so many times, I\u2019ve probably made every single mistake that you can make. In the way that Steve Jobs articulated beautifully, and I, therefore, can\u2019t: \u201cYou can only really join the dots up if you look in reverse.\u201d I\u2019ve been there several times. It\u2019s very easy for me to join up the dots that lead to what works and the high value.\nLucy: I read a really lovely quote a couple weeks ago. I think it might have been Eleanor Roosevelt that said, \u201cLearn from other people\u2019s mistakes. You\u2019ll never live long enough to make them all on your own,\u201d which is obviously quite nice.\nFelix: It\u2019s true.\nLucy: You talked about some really impressive results over the last 12 months. Is there a stand out case study?\nFelix: Yes. I\u2019ve got one client who is truly a no-limits thinker. He\u2019s amazing, and I love that kind of client. He\u2019s the sort of client, he says, \u201cI know that we\u2019re turning over nothing now, but why shouldn\u2019t we be turning over 20 million quid?\u201d I love those kinds of people because they\u2019re the easiest to help. We did some exercises on competitive differentiation and making them stand out from the market. We set some very, very tough goals, three-year goals, and one of the goals was to get to a million and a half profit at the end of the third year from basically a standing start.\nOnce you set a goal like that, it forces you to say, \u201cCan I do that just by increasing 10% or 20% a year?\u201d Answer, no. He said, \u201cHow do you do that?\u201d One of the answers that we came up with, for him, was, \u201cWell, we need to do some acquisitions.\u201d He\u2019s increased his turnover by just over 3.1 times in the last 12 months. He\u2019s an amazing guy, we spend a lot of time training his team, working on sales process, working on lead generation strategies that are just rock-solid, long-term plans.\nI think they hyper-focus on what they say they do, which means that every single client who wants what they say they do has to come to him. All the people who want to work in that particular niche want to come and work with him and then he is driven by really big ambitious goals and he doesn\u2019t see any reason why he shouldn\u2019t be able to attain them. Yes, he\u2019s a dream client. That\u2019s why I think he\u2019s the top performing client this year, although most of them actually have doubled or tripled their net profit this year.\nLucy: Can you talk us through the Delivery Roadmap?\nFelix: There\u2019s a set of principles, there\u2019s a whole bunch of them. When you\u2019re the CEO of an agency or any other company,there are a whole bunch of books that seem to be the mandatory reads. One of them is Jim Collins amazing book Good to Great\n, and he talks about several principles, and then there\u2019s another book called the Rockefeller Habits which has been updated very recently to Rockefeller Habits 2.0, it\u2019s called Scaling Up\nby a guy called Verne Harnish, which is my number two recommendation for mandatory reading for anybody who wants to grow a business.\nHe talks about a series of different documents and different alignments and ways of encapsulating data. Now, I\u2019m a simplistic guy so I like things that are simple enough to put on a single sheet of paper and are a simple enough for me to understand and also for the people that I work with and their team. There\u2019s a process called \u2018Delivery Roadmap\u2019 which essentially starts with a three-year goal with a couple of metrics, say your metrics are a million and a half profit in three years time, ready for exit.\nIt works backwards from those goals towards today. Tesco calls it man in the high mountain; picture yourself on the high mountain having achieved all of your goals. Now, look back down at the mountain and work out how you got to where you are. The roadmap works in a similar way. In year three, you need to have done a million and a half profit and you need to be ready for exit.\nTaking those things, if you think about people, if you are to be ready for exit then you need a team that is running your business so that you can sell, concentrate on the sales process and also so that you can leave. In year three, you need a senior management team that is rock-solid, that is perfectly running the business. Working backwards from that in year two, you need a senior management team that is coming together, that\u2019s starting to learn how to run the business, that needs training.\nThat way you need to identify who the right people are on it and the wrong people on it and who\u2019s most effective, what resources they need. Then, working backwards again to this year, you need to identify who\u2019s going to be on that team, you might need to recruit a few people, you might need to train a few people, incorporate your company\u2019s values and make sure that it\u2019s totally embedded in that team. For every single thing that leads towards your goal, you need to take your goal and work backwards.\nLucy: Break it down.\nFelix: Break it down into small steps. You can do things like identifying superstars today and start assembling a senior management team. Then, you can identify what training they need, that might be next quarter\u2019s activity. That applies across the whole business, in three years\u2019 time, you will need 12 retained clients generating \u00a3120,000 or \u00a3130,000 of net profit each. Working backward to the second year, you need to turn all of your clients into retained clients and find new clients who will replace the one or two that you\u2019ll lose over the coming year or so\u2026 you need a rock-solid client services team.\nWorking backwards again to today, you need to be able to identify which clients are profitable, which clients you love working with and are passionate about, which ones are likely to be transformable into retained clients. You need to identify the client services team and train them and put in place the processes that will support them. You\u2019ll need to start using timesheets, for example, because without that you can\u2019t identify which clients are profitable and which aren\u2019t, which people are effective, which people aren\u2019t.\nAgain, the sales process. In year three, you\u2019ll need to be finding three really big clients; in year two, you\u2019ll need to find five big clients and four smaller clients. You\u2019ll need a great sales process that\u2019s perfectly predictable. In year one, you need to develop a lead generation strategy that will stand you in good stead for the next five years or three years. That lead generation strategy, you need to work down to granular numbers.\nHow many people do we need to attend an event each month? What\u2019s the process? How many emails do we need to send to get the right person to come to the event? How do you design the event and so on. It\u2019s breaking what seems like lofty goals down into granular actions that you can take and execute today.\nLucy: I worked with a CEO who was forensic about that kind of planning and it makes an enormous difference to the teams in a business when there are those plans in place, and that have been broken down on a more granular level and knowing that the plan that you have today is the same plan that you had last week and it is the same plan that you\u2019ve got next week. It\u2019s really empowering because as an individual or as a team and as a board of business, you know exactly what you\u2019re being measured against. Of course, you\u2019ll get some curve balls coming up now and again but you can just regroup back to the knitting as they say.\nFelix: Day-to-day gets in the way sometimes, my role is to be an external person who comes in and says, \u201cOkay, so Sally, how did you do against the task that you\u2019ve got to deliver this quarter over and above your day job, of creating an HR strategy for example?\u201d or: \u201cJohnny, how\u2019s the referrals program being going in terms of the set up with that,\u201d and knowing that next month they\u2019ll then start having to test it.\nThat\u2019s a really interesting role for me. I think one of the great things about it is, when you put together the first senior management team, most people really want to plan. They really want to see that the company knows where it\u2019s going. Not only is it good for alignment and for letting the senior management team know what the long term, and medium term, and short term goals are so they know what they\u2019ve got to do and what they\u2019ve got to deliver and what they\u2019ve got to delegate to their own people.\nI\u2019ve actually used the Delivery Roadmap extremely well during recruitment. If you are competing for the best planner in the business, or a great creative, or a great production person, or a fantastic office manager. One of the things that will make you stand out is saying, \u201cThis is our plan.\u201d Rather than just saying, \u201cHere\u2019s a job description, these are the 50 things that you\u2019ve got to do in your role,\u201dit\u2019s \u201cThese are our goals, we\u2019re going to allow you to make your own decisions as to how you\u2019re going to help us reach those goals. We\u2019re hiring you against the values of the company and the goals that we\u2019ve set, not against some turgid job description where actually you then start competing against everybody else on the level playing field. I\u2019m a great believer in not having a level playing field.\nLucy: It feels like they\u2019re being invited to join the journey.\nFelix: Completely \u2013 and with alignment comes achievement.\nWorking forwards for a second, once you\u2019ve got your competitive differentiation or competitive advantage, once you understand what your stand out clear blue water positioning is, then you can start working out what kinds of clients you want and need. We talked earlier about the need for twelve retained clients in year three and what you might need to do in year two in order to get that. Starting off with lead generation, working backward works really, really well.\nIf we know that we\u2019ve got to win ten clients a year, then that\u2019s quite a tall order. We can break it down into really, really simple steps. If your pitch to win rate is one in three, for example, which is the standard, reasonably good pitch to win rate. Unless you\u2019ve had really good sales training yourself, you could expect a pitch to win rate of one in three. You also know that for each pitch you probably need ten qualified leads, to get every single win, you need 3 times 10, which is 30 leads.\nIf you want 10 wins a year, that\u2019s 300 leads a year. Now, new business broadly speaking comes one third through referrals, one third through inbound where you\u2019re not really sure what caused it (you are doing some PR, you are in the league tables and so on, writing good articles that generates inbound), and one third that comes from specific outbound activities, courses or events.\nYou know that you need to generate a hundred referrals a year, in order to stack up the right number of leads to be able to win the right number of pitches. That allows you to say, \u201cOkay, well, that\u2019s 10 a month, eight a month, we\u2019ve got 8 clients so we need one referral from each of those a month. We need 10 qualified leads a month from outbound. We need to put together an event or attend an event or do a show or whatever the activity is that generates us 10 qualified leads.\nThe qualified lead is somebody who wants what you do, has the ability to make the decision and wants it now. Those are the only three criteria for a qualified lead. If they don\u2019t meet any of those three, they\u2019re not qualified lead, they\u2019re a prospect for some time in the future. It sort of tells you what you\u2019ve got to do. By working backwards from your 10 wins a year, you need to get 30 leads a month from three different sources. It\u2019s just about breaking it down into tasks that are small enough to be doable without being scary and without having to put 18 people on it.\nIn my own experience, having some great in-house salesperson is never going to be as effective as you the CEO being passionate about what you do, and being able to show off the work that you do. Generally speaking, what you need is somebody externally who can identify the leads, because it\u2019s not the pitches that you want to get to sort out. It\u2019s the right people who\u2019ve got the budget now, and who want what you do. It\u2019s just about breaking down the processes.\nIf you get 10 wins a year, that\u2019s a million pounds of revenue already. If you\u2019re winning hundred-grand clients \u2013 and you should be, because a hundred-grand client is only 10 grand a month. None of it is rocket science, none of it is really too difficult. I think the beauty of the Roadmap is actually it\u2019s all common sense.\nLucy: The lovely thing about looking at the numbers that way is that over time, if you track and measure your performance against those numbers, you can start to factor in how you\u2019re performing. You can see actually next year. We know that referrals perform really, really well. We can adjust our targets accordingly, whereas the inbound thing doesn\u2019t deliver quite the same. Either we need to turn that up a little bit, or make compensation for it elsewhere.\nFelix: You\u2019re looking at a series of dials. For example, I\u2019ve got one client who had been stagnating at about the million turnover mark, but their lead generation process was really good, so we spent some time putting it together at the beginning of the year. About halfway through the year, we realized that there was a blockage, and they were only winning about one in four pitches. Looking back at all of the different component of their new business strategy, the pitch itself became the thing that was keeping them at a relatively stable but not growing level.\nWe spent a day putting the top teams through a pitch doctoring process. It was great fun, we had this great day together. I showed them a methodology for winning a pitch in a consulting way, so that you end up selling value rather than having to quibble about whether your hourly rate is \u00a388 versus the industry average of \u00a390, or whatever. If you can sell value, then that makes it so much easier, much more profitable. We spent this day doing this, training them in this pitch process and the first time out \u2013 they had a pitch two weeks later \u2013 they won a half-million-pound piece of business, by breaking down and measuring all of the components of a new business process. It makes it very easy to identify where things need fixing, or tweaking, or upgrading, so really successful. We wouldn\u2019t have been able to do that if they hadn\u2019t worked all the numbers back, watched it flow for about six months, and then identified where the problems were.\nLucy: The key there is measuring the activity as well as the results, because if you\u2019re just focusing on the results, you\u2019ve got no idea what you need to change about the activity.\nFelix: Completely. Also the danger of focusing on the results, going all the way back to the beginning of this conversation, is feast and famine. What tends to happen is we say, \u201cWe\u2019ve got too many pitches on. We can\u2019t do any new business meetings because we\u2019re all too busy doing these pitches.\u201d Then you wonder why you haven\u2019t got any pitches in three months\u2019 time, because you haven\u2019t got a machine that you turn the handle on. You need to be doing all of the things steadily all the time. Otherwise, you get this pilot-induced oscillation and chaos and sometimes unfortunately, failure.\nLucy: What would be your top three tips for any of our listeners today?\nFelix: It\u2019s really difficult to get down to three. The first is to understand your company\u2019s values. The values have to reflect your own values. What I mean by that is, if you are prone to shading the truth, having integrity is one of your values, it won\u2019t wash. Understanding your values, whether those values are entrepreneurialism, or craftsmanship, or integrity, or always being forthright, being humble or whatever they are, understand the values. Three or four values are probably sufficient for any company. Values are really interesting because they become your hiring and your firing tool. You do not hire somebody who does not meet every single one of your values.\nIf anybody on your team stops displaying any of your values, fire them. That\u2019s number one: values are the most important foundation for a coherent business that in itself has integrity. Second is: get the right people on the bus. If you have anybody who is low performer, who is really difficult, who does not conform to your values, does not reflect the way that you want your company to be, who is not excellent, get rid of them, replace them with somebody who\u2019s excellent. There\u2019s an old adage, \u201cA players hire A players. B players hire C players.\u201d\nYou do not want to be a company filled with B and C players. If you\u2019re an A player, only hire people who are better at it than you are. Getting the right people on the bus, really important. Hire slowly, fire quickly.\nLucy: Can I just ask you on that? Because I found that, that can be a real problem with senior leaders not hiring people who have potential to be better than them.\nFelix: I think it\u2019s mandatory. Hire people who are better at it than you are and get on with it. I\u2019ve spent my entire career\u2026 to be fair, it\u2019s very easy for me to hire those people who are much better at it than I am. My best advice is, get out of the way of the people who are superstars and only hire superstars. Why would you not want to have any superstars on your team? They should all be superstars.\nLucy: That\u2019s the thing, isn\u2019t it? Hiring superstars but then getting out the way and letting them do their thing?\nFelix: Absolutely, delegation. My top, top tip for any manager, in fact, any CEO, the seven most important words for a CEO, \u201cI don\u2019t know, what do you think?\u201d It empowers people to make decisions themselves, to come to you with solutions. Let them come to you with solutions. None of them, if they get it wrong, is going to break your company. Just let them get on with it. They\u2019ll learn and we\u2019ll become better, and the more they come to you and say, \u201cWe had a problem, I solved it.\u201d The more you can focus on your strategy. You asked me for three top tips, I have a third and fourth, I\u2019m afraid.\nLucy: Okay, go for it.\nFelix: The third is, obsessive repetition of your company\u2019s positioning. Understand why you\u2019re different to your competitors in the eyes of your customers, what it is that you are passionate about, what you can be the best in the world at, and then bang that drum for the next three or five years obsessively. You have to repeat it over and over again to your staff, to your clients, to the market, to the people who you bump into at a party. If you can\u2019t describe what you do and why in a short, plain English sentence, then stop what you\u2019re doing, work out how to do that, and then get back on the road.\nEvery single person who works for you wants to be able to say to all of their friends, \u201cWe are the world\u2019s best X, and maybe we are the world\u2019s most entrepreneurial creatives. We are the world\u2019s greatest craftspeople operating in the Travel and Leisure sector.\u201d Whatever it is, find something that you can be the best at, and then repeat it obsessively. That will colour the way that you train people, that will colour the way that you recruit people and eventually you will be the best at those on whatever it is.\nI do have a fourth: if you really want to grow, every CEO needs a mentor. I really needed one, I didn\u2019t have one for the first 10 years, and everything I did was chaos. Then I started learning. I would say this, wouldn\u2019t I? Because this is my career. Find a great non-exec or a great Chairman who can come in, help you devise the plan and then come in once a month to hold your feet to the flames. That will get you progress, consistent, steady, drip, drip progress towards an amazing goal.\nLucy: What\u2019s the best piece of advice that you\u2019ve ever been given?\nFelix: I once subscribed to Harvard Business Review. They used to send you a red book at the beginning of your subscription, and it gave you 10 top tips in business. Then the first piece of advice was, \u201cDon\u2019t let somebody coming to you for advice put their monkey on your back.\u201d What that really meant was, everybody who reports to you will come to you because you\u2019re the boss, you\u2019re the person with the vision, you\u2019re the person who\u2019s got the expertise, you set it up, and they don\u2019t want to get it wrong. They\u2019ll come to you and say, \u201cBoss, I\u2019ve got this problem. How do you want me to solve it?\u201d\nIf you can train yourself to say, \u201cI don\u2019t know, what do you think?\u201d Eventually, they\u2019ll start coming to you and saying, \u201cBoss, I\u2019ve got this challenge or this problem. I\u2019ve got two different solutions I think might work. Which one do you think will work best?\u201d \u201cI don\u2019t know. What do you think?\u201d is the best come back to that. They would have thought about it and they will say, \u201cWell, I think option A.\u201d Your job then is to say, \u201cGreat, try it. Report back to me in a week or tell me when it\u2019s finished and tell me whether it succeeded or failed.\u201d\nThere\u2019s no shame in failure. The more you fail, the more you learn and the quicker we as a business will learn how to do it properly. That single piece of advice of delegate responsibility, don\u2019t just delegate by handing people tasks. If you delegate by responsibility, they\u2019ll start re-delegating responsibilities. Actually, then you get a really high performing team and you won\u2019t get problems coming to you apart from the mission-critical ones, and that will release you to work on the business rather than in the business.\nLucy: You mentioned earlier, you mentioned a couple of books that you recommend. One of which you said was your second all-time favorite business book. I\u2019m going to ask you for the first all-time favorite business book that you would recommend to our listeners.\nFelix: Okay. Well, number two is Scaling Up\nby Verne Harnish which is rich and dense. If you follow all of that advice, you will make heaps of value in your company and yourself millions. It will be great. It is very complex book. What I do and what the Delivery Roadmap is, is a simplified version of all of the advice in that book but it\u2019s a fantastic read. My all-time favorite business book is called Four Obsessions of an Extraordinary Executive\nand is by Patrick Lencioni.\nHe\u2019s written a couple of amazing books about management. It\u2019s a parable. It\u2019s about how to coach and how to manage people. It\u2019s centered around obsessive repetition of the company\u2019s mantras and creating a culture of coaching and learning. One thing I\u2019ve discovered, managing and running agencies, it used to be awful that when somebody comes up to you and says, \u201cBoss, have you got five minutes.\u201d It\u2019s that moment of dread. .\nEverybody leaves. I discovered that actually everybody leaves. Actually, to be fair, I\u2019ve left five or six times. Every single person in the company will leave.\nOnce you get your head around that, if you can coach your people, if you can get them coaching their people, what happens is that you get constant improvement. I\u2019d rather have somebody who was constantly improving and only worked for me two years \u2013 a superstar \u2013 before being poached or going on to their next career move than having somebody who was studying and wasn\u2019t improving and stayed with me for three, four or five years. I think that\u2019s really important.\nWhat eventually happens, that I learned a long time ago, is that people start wanting to come and join your company because they know that they will be forced, there\u2019ll be forced growth, they\u2019ll learn loads and they\u2019ll become really excellent, and they\u2019ll get high wages when they leave. I advise, always train your people, train them really, really well. Train them fast and hard and make that part of your culture because you\u2019ll attract the best and brightest superstars.\nLucy: Felix, that has been really enlightening. Thank you so much for coming and sharing your knowledge and experience with us. It\u2019s been absolute pleasure.\nLucy: It\u2019s competition time.

        "raw_content": "Women in Jesus' Life and Ministry - January 20 - Mother Mary\nGod offers God\u2019s very self to us, through Christ, through the Holy Spirit, yet we too often turn away. Let us confess our turning to the one who loves us.\nGracious God, you have given all things needed for life, yet we have too often squandered such resources. You have given us family and friends to share this life bearing one another\u2019s burdens, yet we too often let our relationships go or resent the intrusion. You have given us an invitation to be disciples, to learn and to serve Jesus, yet we are often too busy to fully participate in the opportunities you put before us. You have given the best of yourself to us, yet we too often hold back from giving the best of ourselves to you. We seek your forgiveness and renewal, as we turn back to Jesus, our Savior and Lord.\nThrough Jesus the Christ, God chooses to forgive us. Through the Holy Spirit, God can renew us if we are truly willing to turn our lives more fully to God.\n\u200bWord\nAs we listen to the familiar story, may God open our minds and hearts to hear something new that God would speak to us today.\nGOSPEL LESSON Luke 1:26-55, NLT\n26 In the sixth month of Elizabeth\u2019s pregnancy, the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth, 27 to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, a descendant of David, and the virgin\u2019s name was Mary. 28 The angel came to her and said, \u201cGreetings, favored one, the Lord is with you!\u201d 29 But she was greatly troubled by his words and began to wonder about the meaning of this greeting. 30 So the angel said to her, \u201cDo not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God! 31 Listen: You will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus. 32 He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of his father David. 33 He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and his kingdom will never end.\u201d 34 Mary said to the angel, \u201cHow will this be, since I have not had sexual relations with a man?\u201d 35 The angel replied, \u201cThe Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore the child to be born will be holy; he will be called the Son of God.\n36 \u201cAnd look, your relative Elizabeth has also become pregnant with a son in her old age\u2014although she was called barren, she is now in her sixth month! 37 For nothing will be impossible with God.\u201d 38 So Mary said, \u201cYes, I am a servant of the Lord; let this happen to me according to your word.\u201d Then the angel departed from her.\n39 In those days Mary got up and went hurriedly into the hill country, to a town of Judah, 40 and entered Zechariah\u2019s house and greeted Elizabeth. 41 When Elizabeth heard Mary\u2019s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. 42 She exclaimed with a loud voice, \u201cBlessed are you among women, and blessed is the child in your womb! 43 And who am I that the mother of my Lord should come and visit me? 44 For the instant the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. 45 And blessed is she who believed that what was spoken to her by the Lord would be fulfilled.\u201d\n47 and my spirit has begun to rejoice in God my Savior,\n48 because he has looked upon the humble state of his servant.\n49 because he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name;\n50 from generation to generation he is merciful to those who fear him.\n51 He has demonstrated power with his arm; he has scattered those whose pride wells up from the sheer arrogance of their hearts.\n52 He has brought down the mighty from their thrones, and has lifted up those of lowly position;\n53 he has filled the hungry with good things, and has sent the rich away empty.\n54 He has helped his servant Israel, remembering his mercy,\n55 as he promised to our ancestors, to Abraham and to his descendants forever.\u201d\nSERMON Mother Mary \u2013 Courageous Obedience\nThe texts are familiar since we are just past the Christmas season. We\u2019ve heard them all recently in one format or another. But they are the proper starting place as we look at Mary, Mother of Jesus.\nI\u2019m impressed with her calm as the conversation with the angel Gabriel proceeds. Yes, she was startled at first, who wouldn\u2019t be? Angels didn\u2019t talk to humans that often in any era. It\u2019s why the message often includes early on, the gentle approach, \u201cdon\u2019t be afraid.\u201d She is also told twice in the opening that she is favored by God. She listens to Gabriel\u2019s specific message for her, one that seems impossible, one that would change her life completely from that point onward. She asks how, but she doesn\u2019t say \u201cNo.\u201d You can already glimpse her deep trust in God, her courage to obey faithfully. Mary listens quietly to the explanation and the example of God\u2019s power.\nHer relative, Elizabeth is already pregnant with a child, though she was considered barren and now perhaps too old to conceive. Rather than continue to debate or discuss the issue, Mary simply and quite humbly accepts the assignment. \u201cI\u2019m the Lord\u2019s handmaiden, may it be to me as you have said.\u201d She said this in spite of the damage it will do to her reputation, the possibility that her parents will be against her, that Joseph, her legally betrothed, may divorce her, and since Joseph is not the father, the righteous community will likely assume she committed adultery, punishable by stoning.\nJeanne Stevens focuses her study of Mary on this courageous moment when Mary said, \u201cMay it be\u2026.\u201d Remember that at this time Mary was just an ordinary teenage girl in a committed, even legally binding relationship with Joseph. They still lived apart but were pledged to be married sometime within the year. Most scholars put her age around thirteen, a typical age to marry in her culture. When she said, \u201cMay it be\u2026\u201d she surrendered all her future possibilities in obedience to God\u2019s plan.\nMost of us fight against that at every turn. Even when we say \u201cyes,\u201d it is often conditioned by an \u201cif\u201d or \u201clet me do this first.\u201d At a bare minimum, we argue awhile and list all the reasons why it won\u2019t work, before God can convince us to try. I\u2019m guilty of that, but I\u2019m not alone. Plenty of other Bible characters have done so, from Moses to Isaiah. Reactions to God\u2019s assignments sometimes include fear, that it\u2019s too hard, or telling God to find someone else. We don\u2019t want to abandon our comfort for courage. Many fear failure, so they don\u2019t try to pursue their own dreams or God\u2019s plan. Some would rather live with their insecurity than take the risk of something worse. But then we lose the chance at something better, something worthwhile.\nIt takes courage to take a risk at a disadvantage. It takes courage to venture into the unknown. It takes courage to surrender your dreams to fulfill God\u2019s plan. But Mary willingly, without much hesitation, did all of these.\nIn her video message, Jeanne Stevens shared the story of another woman, in our time, who took a chance and surrendered to God\u2019s will for herself and her husband. She had something in common with many of the women\u2019s stories in the Bible; she couldn\u2019t conceive a child. The couple had talked about adoption, but it was hard to give up her dream until she became friends with her husband\u2019s co-worker, a single woman who had adopted five children already from Russia and was waiting for a sixth. They went through the process together, and soon each brought home a healthy baby boy from the Ukraine. The two families spent time together especially at the holidays. But sometime later, the single friend became seriously ill. The couple rounded up her children and brought them home for the time being. The wife also spent time in her friend\u2019s hospital room. It was there the question came, \u201cWill you take my children?\u201d The answer was already in mind. \u201cYes.\u201d When the single mom died, a family with one young adopted child suddenly had six more children with ages ranging from preschool to high school. Qualms and questions? Of course! Hesitation? No! Courage and love won the day. Obedient to God\u2019s plan, this new family made it work.\nGod puts many challenges in front of us. Courage allows us to say, \u201cMay it be\u2026\u201d The challenges help us grow. Without them we would be complacent, and our faith would be weak. When we say \u201cYes\u201d to the opportunities God asks us to consider, the small spark of faith that wants to trust God learns that God is indeed dependable, that God\u2019s strength is sufficient, that God can and does meet our true needs. But that doesn\u2019t mean it will be easy. A challenge is still challenging!\nStevens states a couple of things that moving from comfort to courage will do to you. One is \u201cto question your decision. It will cause you to look around for the safety bars, seatbelt, and any kind of security button.\u201d We do tend to seek security by any means. But here\u2019s where the real security can be found. \u201cMoving from comfort to courage will cause you to feel weak in the knees \u2013 a good indicator that you should stop standing up and get ON your knees.\u201d (both quotes from Twelve Women of the Bible Study Guide, Session 7 \u201cMary, Mother of Jesus\u201d by Jeanne Stevens, p. 87) Security comes from God and is sought through prayer. I\u2019m sure Mary spent a great deal of time in prayer for her son throughout Jesus\u2019 life.\nCan you even imagine what it would be like to raise God\u2019s Son as your own child? The birth stories are extraordinary enough. John MacArthur suggests as I have often suspected that Luke\u2019s detailed stories about the events surrounding Mary\u2019s pregnancy and Jesus\u2019 birth come from Mary\u2019s own memories. He gives us a great deal from her perspective in chapters 1 and 2. I don\u2019t know if it came from Mary directly, as MacArthur believes, or if it was handed down through another party, but Luke gives us more of her story from a mother\u2019s point of view than the other Gospel writers.\nHaving said, \u201cMay it be\u2026\u201d Mary goes to Elizabeth and they share time together, encouraging each other and marveling at the miracles God has granted to each of them. God has convinced Joseph to take Mary as his wife. There are none of the feared consequences from family and community as God watches over them. As Mary celebrates with Elizabeth, she offers a prayer of praise and thanksgiving to God that echoes so many Hebrew scriptures including Hannah\u2019s prayer from the book of Samuel, as well as Psalms, Isaiah and other prophets. We see not only her devotion and love for God, but also that she is well versed in the scriptures and traditions of her Jewish faith. Jesus will learn much as a boy growing up in her home.\nBut MacArthur points out, as Jesus grows into his ministry, Mary will have to accept a very different relationship with her son. I think these words summarize it best, \u201cAs a man, He was her Son. But as God, He was her Lord.\u201d (John MacArthur, Twelve Extraordinary Women, p. 122)\nWhen Mary and Joseph searched three days for the twelve year old Jesus after leaving the Passover Feast in Jerusalem, they found him back at the Temple in earnest dialog with the rabbis. He said, \u201cWhy were you looking for me? Didn\u2019t you know that I must be in my Father\u2019s house?\u201d (Luke 2:49) Mary must have begun to see that this child would follow the extraordinary path God had set for him, and she would have to sit back at times to let that path unfold.\nOn another occasion, when Jesus was in his thirties, had begun his ministry and gathered his disciples, they were invited to a wedding feast where Mary was already helping a close friend. Mary came to her son when the supply of wine was running low, knowing he would somehow have the means to help. Jesus responded, \u201cWoman, what does that have to do with me? My time hasn\u2019t come yet.\u201d (John 2:4) She did not make further demands, but she trusted him, telling the servants to do whatever he asked.\nMacArthur sees no disrespect in these accounts, but a playful, easy-going, yet strong and loving relationship between mother and son. I hadn\u2019t really thought of Jesus and Mary that way, but there is another mother and son I knew years ago with that kind of relationship. By late Jr. High, David was taller than his mom. In the kitchen they would banter back and forth in a manner that could have sounded like he was talking back to her. They would even bump into each other\u2019s arms as if they were fighting, but from the grins on their faces, I knew it was all in play. Even after he moved away and until his death, David\u2019s protective care for his mom and deep love for her were real. It\u2019s easy for me to imagine then, that Jesus and Mary had that deep love and respect for each other, that they truly cared about each other, enough that they could carry on the same sort of banter in a playful way, and that they would care for each other to the end.\nAs Jesus grew into manhood and ministry, there had to be a healthy change. This is true for all parents and children, at some point we have to let them grow up, respect them as adults, and accept that we don\u2019t get to tell them what to do any more. That doesn\u2019t change our love for them or their respect for us, but child becomes adult deserving to be treated as an adult but also needing to take on adult responsibility. For Jesus, that change also held the significant factor, that he had God\u2019s work to do, that he was even God in the flesh. Mary\u2019s role shifted from teacher to student, from mother to follower, from parent in charge to background support.\nMary watched with love and sometimes concern as Jesus entered these ministry years. For all the things Mary had treasured and pondered in her heart since the night the shepherds came prompted by angelic pronouncement and song, I think the toughest words for her to bear must have been those of Simeon, the prophet whose lifelong hope was fulfilled when he beheld the infant Messiah as Mary and Joseph brought Jesus to the temple for dedication. Simeon had prophesied, \u201cThis child is destined to cause many in Israel to fall, and many others to rise. He has been sent as a sign from God, but many will oppose him. 35 As a result, the deepest thoughts of many hearts will be revealed. And a sword will pierce your very soul.\u201d (Luke 2:34-35)\nWatching Jesus become a man of God and God as man, I\u2019m sure Mary felt many moments of both wonder and pride. But there must have been a shadow in the back of her mind from that prophecy. As she watched his ministry unfold, she knew how tired and even hungry he must be, how many demands were placed on him. She was probably also aware of the political stirrings against him. At one point she and his brothers tried to convince Jesus to take some time out, but again, Jesus\u2019 words were a reminder that he had God\u2019s work to do. \u201cWho are my mother and my brothers?\u201d 34 And looking at those who were sitting around him in a circle, he said, \u201cHere are my mother and my brothers! 35 For whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother.\u201d (Mark 3:33b-35)\nMary accepted Jesus\u2019 commitment to his ministry. She may have worried as any mother does and expressed her concerns as we mothers often do, but she was wise enough not to try to manipulate him or in any way try to control or hinder his work. She was not in charge, and she knew it. Instead she humbly played a supporting role as one of his followers until the time came that I\u2019m sure she had dreaded all along.\nIn one of the final scenes we have of Mary, Jesus\u2019 mother, we find her standing at the foot of the cross where her Son is hanging, stripped of his garments but not his dignity. He is bloody and bruised from the lashings he suffered. He is tormented by the crowds as he was tortured by the soldiers. This is not the glorious victory many expected of the Messiah. But somehow, I suspect Mary knew this was closer to what Jesus had expected. She would have known the suffering servant passages in Isaiah and perhaps understood how her Son related to them personally. She didn\u2019t comment on where he had gone wrong or join the crowd in telling him to come down off that cross. She somehow humbly recognized and accepted that this, too, was part of his ministry, part of what he came to do. When she heard the Centurian declare, \u201cTruly this was the Son of God,\u201d Mary had known and trusted that all along, even before her Son was born. She held that deep and abiding faith as he died.\nBut standing at the foot of the cross, again taking a risk even to be there and to be identified with an executed criminal, Mary did all she was able to do. She was there for her son, an expression of love, her only way to offer comfort and support. She remained steadfast to the bitter end. Again, it took courage to do this. Many of his disciples and friends were not there. The Bible only records Mary his mother, Mary of Magdala, and one beloved disciple, John. Jesus did not ignore this gesture. Even as his life was waning, he looked with compassion at his mother and placed her in John\u2019s care also asking John to be a son to her.\nBeyond this we only know that after Jesus\u2019 ascension the disciples continued to gather in the Upper Room to pray, awaiting the Holy Spirit as Jesus\u2019 commanded. Acts 1:14 tells us that they \u201call were united in their devotion to prayer, along with some women, including Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.\u201d That\u2019s our final glimpse of Mary, in the difficult position of knowing the pain too many of our members have known, that of outliving your child. Yet she remains with the rest of his closest followers. I picture her offering them comfort, sharing her memories, even as they try to comfort and care for her.\nBeyond Jesus\u2019 life and ministry, Mary remained a humble servant, courageous and obedient to God\u2019s plan, in spite of the pain and cost of that faithfulness. This is her legacy to us: to have the courage to choose God\u2019s plan, the humility to surrender our lives in obedience, to take the joy and the privilege along with the sorrow and the pain, to face the challenges that will help us grow as we say \u201cYes\u201d to the opportunities God sends our way, to treasure and ponder God\u2019s Word in our hearts and to devote our lives to service and prayer for Jesus\u2019 sake. That is the privilege we ordinary folk share with one extraordinary woman named Mary.",

We hope that we could do it more often,\u201d he added.\nMeanwhile, both YASKA and SOBD have expressed their gratitude for choosing them as the recipients of the money raised in the event.\n\u201cWe are grateful and it makes us feel that we are not alone in the fight against cancer,\u201d said Tsara\u2019 Nawwarah.\nHaji Mahrub added, \u201cWe are so grateful that SOBD has been chosen as one of the beneficiaries of this year\u2019s event. With this assistance, SOBD will be able to organise events for the special athletes and enable them to compete at regional Special Olympics championships.\u201d\nSplit into two categories of 3.7km and 5km, She Runs is limited to 1,500 participants.

Online registration at sheruns.com.bn has commenced and will conclude on April 10, while the number of participants is limited to only 1,500 individuals.\nIn addition to YASKA, a non-government organisation that supports children diagnosed with cancer and their families while they undergo treatment, She Runs will also raise funds for the Special Olympics Brunei Darussalam (SOBD). \u201cWith advice from YASKA, we felt that it is timely to raise funds for SOBD, a non-profit, non-government organisation in need of funding,\u201d commented Wu Chun during a press conference after the signing.\nThe international superstar also expressed his gratitude to Brunei Press for agreeing to work hand-in-hand to support the advocacy of empowering women.\n\u201cI am thankful that Brunei Press has come onboard and we hope that through the newspaper, we can disseminate information to the public,\u201d he said.\nReggie See, the General Manager of Brunei Press, added: \u201cFollowing the success of the inaugural She Runs event last year, whereby a total of $55,000 was raised for YASKA, we felt that the 2016 She Runs can grow to be a bigger event this year.\n\u201cIn line with our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative, we have been supporting various charity events in the country. Lately, there has been much emphasis on the importance of health and prevention of non-communicable diseases (NCDs)\u2026 Therefore, through this event, we hope to assist in endorsing and educating on the importance of health, fitness and sports for a healthier lifestyle.\u201d\nAlso present yesterday were Pengiran Datin Paduka Hajah Mariam binti Pengiran Haji Matarsat, Vice President of the Council of Women of Brunei Darussalam; Hazizah Osman, the Deputy General Manager of Brunei Press; Suzie Houng, Senior Manager \u2013 Finance and Operations of Brunei Press; and Del Alfaro, the General Manager of Fitness Zone.\nFor further information, interested participants can follow FitnessZoneBrunei on Instagram and Facebook.\nSecond all-women\u2019s charity race set for May 15\nManaging Director of Fitness Zone Wu Chun (3rd R), General Manager of Fitness Zone Del Alfaro (L), Events and Executive Assistant of Wu Chun Shelley Busque (2nd L), and Volunteer Director of SOBD athletes Dawn Lee (R) in a group photo with SOBD athletes at a fitness clinic conducted every Saturday at the fitness club.

The run is limited to 1,500 participants and will be held at Fitness Zone\u2019s Women\u2019s Health Club in Serusop.\nOnline registration for the run on its website, www.sheruns.com.bn, starts today and will end on April 10. Meanwhile, all payments will commence from March 25 to April 18 at Fitness Zone Kiulap branch, from 12pm to 7pm, with exception of the temporary closure from 12noon to 2pm on Fridays to observe Friday prayers. Race kit collection, on the other hand, is tentatively scheduled for May 10 to 13.\nFollowing the huge success of its first event last year, Shelly Busque, Events and Executive assistant of Wu Chun, the managing director of Fitness Zone, said that \u2018She Runs\u2019 is a charity run that aims at more than just celebrating women. \u201cLast year, we (also) organised it in the month of May to coincide with the International Mother\u2019s Day, but (this year) we are aiming to have a broader scope in celebrating our women, especially here in Brunei,\u201d she stated.\nShe added, \u201cWomen, in nature, were raised as natural caregivers and have nurturing patience. Millennial women, in my opinion, can stand on their own, and are resilient creatures especially in the face of great adversity, and when united as one, can reach a common goal!\n\u201cAnd (therefore) this event is for us to encourage the public that we all have the power to change the world, through giving back to the society through charity works. Our beneficiaries this year would be two non-government organisations, which are the Children\u2019s Cancer Foundation (YASKA) and Special Olympics Brunei Darussalam (SOBD).\u201d Based on She Run\u2019s website, more than $55,000 in proceeds was received from the event last year.\nMeanwhile, Wu Chun said, \u201cOur team dedicate \u2018She Runs 2016\u2019 to empower women from different walks of life to strive and turn into better individuals, inside out. Join us for a life-turning event that is filled with inspiration, excitement and joy. Let\u2019s join hand in hand and do our part in making a difference!\u201d\nFitness Zone will also announce the list of event sponsors in the coming days",

        "raw_content": "\u00ab Second Life at FIT, some links and events\nPosted by Elaine Polvinen on December 6, 2007\nVirtual Worlds are an emerging technology that promises to sweepingly and dramatically alter the way enterprises of all sorts conduct and do business. Using lessons learned from Web 2.0, businesses can harness the substantial power of virtual worlds to cut costs, reduce time-to-market, develop better product; maintain transparency all along the supply chain and above all, for fashion designers, maintain the integrity of the designer\u2019s vision throughout the production process. Initial estimates from technology companies such as IBM suggest that Web 3.0/virtual worlds will be ubiquitous as business tools in as soon as three years. Those individuals who do not learn to use these new tools will find themselves as lost as those who refused to learn to use computers, e-mail or the Internet. Learning to use virtual worlds is an initial step to being able to teach students to use this new technology. While virtual worlds can represent an appreciable barrier to some, with proper curriculum, all can access and use the immense power of these collaborative, persistent workspaces. FRI is working in conjunction with its technology partner, IBM, and with fashion educators such as Elaine Polvinen at Buffalo State, to develop virtual-worlds based fashion curriculum, and to develop seminars for educators to help them access virtual worlds.\nPrepare yourself! Sign up for an account with a virtual world \u2013 I recommend Second Life, because the Second Life interface will be used commonly for emerging virtual worlds and because it is actually a relatively easy interface to learn\u2026and of course, it can be fun to learn, too. Learn to use the tools. There are many great organizations in Second Life whose sole mission is to assist new residents of the world to use it to its maximum potential. FRI sponsors space on Shengri La where new residents can come in and orient themselves in a safe, visually lush, fun environment. I invite you to join us in Shengri La at http://slurl.com/secondlife/Shengri%20La/194/32/28\nThis entry was posted on December 6, 2007 at 7:55 pm\tand is filed under Education in Second Life, Second Life, virtual product development.

But at a time in which the public\u2019s faith in our federal courts is declining, it may be wise for justices and their families to avoid activities, like private meetings with the president, that could impugn the judiciary\u2019s integrity.\nOver the years justices have of course been friendly with those running the executive branch. In fact, some just-released Justice Kavanaugh e-mails show that in 2001 he was in charge of securing the attendance of Justices Kennedy, Scalia and O\u2019Connor at the White House\u2019s celebration of Irish Americans.\nPresident Johnson and Justice Abe Fortas regularly broke bread together, and Vice President Cheney and Justice Scalia were hunting buddies.\nNevertheless, if Chief Justice Roberts wants to create a legacy of disinterested stewardship, he should do more to dissuade his colleagues from participating in activities that to the average citizen appear improper.\nFTC has similarly been critical of Justices Ginsburg and Gorsuch when their deeds have impugned the judiciary\u2019s integrity (though Gorsuch had a decent excuse, since he agreed to the speaking engagement before he knew it\u2019d be at Trump Hotel).",

        "raw_content": "This famous octagonal building with semicircular apses, raised on a stepped podium, was built between the 4th and the 5th century, near the north gate of Roman Florence. Its current appearance dates to the 13th century. The smooth pyramidal roof of the Baptistry was finished in 1128, the lantern with columns is from 1150, the rectangular tribune, or scarsella, from 1202.\nThe exterior of the Baptistery is covered with green and white marble. Each side is divided into three sections by pilaster strips and round arches with windows. Particularly outstanding are the bronze doors and, inside, the mosaics in the dome.\nThere are three sets of doors in the Baptistery of San Giovanni: the south doors by Andrea Pisano with Stories of the life of the Baptist and Allegories of the virtues, the north doors by Ghiberti, with Stories from the New Testament, Evangelists and Doctors of the Church, and the east doors (or Gates of Paradise), Ghiberti's masterpiece and deservedly the most famous of the three. They are divided into ten panels which depict Stories from the Old Testament and were commissioned by the Arte dei Mercanti in 1425.\nIn the perfection of execution, they are worthy of the name Michelangelo bestowed on them. Small figures of biblical personages and portraits of contemporary artists are to be found in the frame around the panels.\nInterior of the Florence Baptistery\nThe interior of the Baptistery is characterized by the walls on two lines, the inferior one with columns and the upper one with pillars between mullioned windows.\nThe surfaces are covered by marble, similar to those of the floor. Particularly interesting the tomb of the Antipope John XXIII, a complex built by Michelozzo and Donatello (the latter made the reclining statue), two Roman sarcophagi and the tomb slab of Bishop Ranieri.\nThe apse is enriched by beautiful mosaics of the thirteenth century, similar to those of the large dome. Next to the large Enthroned Christ by Coppo di Marcovaldo, six tiers of bands representing, from the base to the top, scenes from the life of Saint John the Baptist, stories of Christ, of Joseph, of Genesis, Celestial Hierarchies and decorations.",

        "raw_content": "Exclusive! Grease Live! Star Aaron Tveit on Looking Up to John Travolta & His Big Hair Plans\nAugust 14th, 2015 | By Paul Wontorek\nAlthough he\u2019s been away from the Broadway stage for four years, Aaron Tveit is giving his fans (and trust us, there are many) a steady stream of great roles on the big and small screen. Perhaps the most exciting one for theater fans will happen on January 31, 2016, when the Broadway.com Audience Choice Award winner will play Danny Zuko in FOX\u2019s Grease Live! But there\u2019s also Graceland, the addictive USA Network show that is in its third season, and a handful of roles in upcoming indie films, the first being the dark, psychological thriller Big Sky, now in limited release and available on VOD. Broadway.com recently chatted with Tveit to catch up on his rising career.\nIt\u2019s good. It kind of just started. We just finished shooting Graceland a few weeks ago so it\u2019s summertime now!\nSeason three of Graceland is heating up, your indie Big Sky is out and now the big news about Grease Live! There\u2019s a lot of Tveit in the headlines.\nGrease is the word, man. What can you say?\nI watched Big Sky, which was gripping\u2014nice and creepy. Lot of crazy people wandering around that desert.\nI found all of the characters so interesting. This young girl who\u2019s dealing with her agoraphobia and can\u2019t go outside, and her relationship with Kyra Segwick, her mom. They\u2019re kind of at this point where they need to decide if they\u2019re going to make it work as a family or not. That parallels with Pru, my character, and his brother Jesse, played by Frank Grillo. Jesse is looking after Pru, who is doing his best to keep everything together but he\u2019s also at wit\u2019s end. Even thought Frank and I play the \u201cbad guys\u201d in the movie, it\u2019s not so cut and dry that way.\nPru doesn\u2019t really have anyone to talk to and has a habit of shooting people and then apologizing. You like these lost guys, don\u2019t you?\nThe more complex the better. That\u2019s why I really liked Pru. He\u2019s dealing with these emotional issues that are undefined and there\u2019s talk that he\u2019s been through some physical abuse\u2026 There were a lot of blanks to fill in and to figure out for myself. I had a really fun time doing that.\nWhat\u2019s it like being on these indie movie sets? What was your down time like in Albuquerque?\nThere wasn\u2019t much downtime. The thing with these indie films is the shooting schedule is so much shorter than if you were shooting the same script on a big budget. You just get there and everybody is ready to go, so you just do it! Nobody has time to bring their ego. You just have to get the work done. I like that element a lot. This one in particular was great. The whole cast and crew were wonderful. I had a great time with Frank Grillo talking ahead of time about the relationship between our characters so by the time we stepped on set, we at least knew how to step right in and get working.\nThis Grease Live! news is very, very exciting!\nI\u2019m super excited about it. The fact that America wants to see these musicals live on television is an amazing thing. It\u2019s so cool!\nI assume you don\u2019t really have to learn lyrics. Doesn\u2019t everyone know Grease?\nYes, it\u2019s one of those things where you kind of know it all, but at the same time, the whole Danny Zuko/John Travolta thing\u2026 It\u2019s such an iconic performance that even for the audition, I literally had to read the sides to myself out loud for two weeks to get his voice out of my head. He\u2019s so brilliant. When I say brilliant, I mean BRILLIANT in the movie. The tone he finds with Danny Zuko is so perfect that you can\u2019t do that. I can\u2019t do that. Nobody can do that! So I didn\u2019t want to go in and do a Travolta impression. I had to find whatever it was for me.\nDo you think there\u2019s going to be a flavor of Travolta in there or a complete new thing?\nA lot of people say they don\u2019t like to watch other people\u2019s performances. I kind of say screw that. If somebody\u2019s amazing at something, I want to watch it and try to figure out what the heck they did. In the film, Travolta is charming, self-conscious, tough, sweet. It\u2019s all there at any given second in his performance. I hope I can bring some of what he brought to it.\nYou\u2019ve got a great cast, too.\nThe cast is fantastic. I\u2019m excited to work with Vanessa [Hudgens] again. We had a great time doing Rent together. And I got to do a screen test with Julianne [Hough], and she was just great. We were all done up for the screen test. She was in a poodle skirt with the long, blonde wig on. She looked perfect. And to know that she has this other massive tiger inside her that comes roaring out when she performs is exciting. I mean, she\u2019s going to be perfect. The fact that they got Thomas Kail to direct was basically the thing that made me say, \u201cI\u2019m in.\u201d I\u2019ve been dying to work with Tommy, so I\u2019m really thrilled about that.\nHow big will the Zuko hair be?\nThe hair will be big. The. Hair. Will. Be. Big. My hair\u2019s probably the longest I\u2019ve ever had it right now, and we\u2019re still like three months away, so we\u2019re going there. I don\u2019t know what they have planned, but I have plans!\nZuko is supposed to be the coolest cat around. Don\u2019t, like, trip on live TV.\nOof, I know. Thanks for reminding me.\nPressure\u2019s on, buddy.\nI know, pressure\u2019s definitely on!",

        "raw_content": "Two weeks after my divorce was finalized, I received a phone call from my attorney informing me that my ex-husband had filed a court motion requesting the judge overturn the divorce decree. His argument was based upon his constitutional right to practice his religion. As he understood it, his religion taught that no marriage was irretrievably broken; so he could not accept a divorce. Furthermore, it wasn\u2019t that an attempt at healing our marriage had been tried and found wanting. It had been deemed difficult and left untried (a distortion of a well-known quote from G.K. Chesterton: \u201cThe Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult; and left untried\u201d).\nI couldn\u2019t help but feel defeated. I\u2019d fought so hard for my freedom and now that freedom, after only a couple of weeks, was at the mercy of the court. Wasn\u2019t it enough that I wanted out? I was terrified of what people would say, what the judge would say.\nI don\u2019t remember much about being on the witness stand when our date in court arrived; I was so nervous and it was hard to think with all of those people staring at me. I was paralyzed with the fear of what they all thought, how they judged me. I wanted to justify myself. I wanted the time to explain to each person in that courtroom all that had happened and why I\u2019d had to leave. I wanted so desperately to prove that I was not what the opposing counsel said that I was. There was more to me than that. I had more worth than that, if they would just let me prove it.\nI have spent far too much time living as though I was on the witness stand-awaiting a verdict, eager to justify myself. I ache for someone to declare my worth. Am I pretty enough? Smart enough? Successful enough? I may be convinced for a fleeting moment that I am, but then I step out into the world and my beauty or my intelligence is challenged and the image in which I have placed my security crumbles. I collapse into a heap of self-doubt and pity.\nI wonder if this has been your experience as well. As long as our worth depends upon the opinion of others we will constantly be tossed about. We will never find peace.\nI know that full well.\u201d Psalm 139: 13-14\n\u201cI am fearfully and wonderfully made,\u201d and \u201cYour works are wonderful.\u201d This must be the source of your worth. You must choose it every day, throughout the day. No one can choose it for you. And as you begin to identify yourself by this standard you will recognize any challenge to this worth for what it is\u2013a lie that has no power over you.\nYou were created by God. You are of immeasurable worth.\nAuthor Rebekah DurhamPosted on December 31, 2018 January 23, 2019 Categories ReflectionsTags Chesterton, Creator, divorce, God, opinions, Psalms, self-worth, worth\n11 thoughts on \u201cThe Source of Self-Worth\u201d\nReblogged this on David Fischer and commented:\nA new blogger with a great message; check her out!\nOkay, I\u2019m hooked! What did the husband testify on his behalf? How did the court rule? I thought this was going to be one of those pieces where their marriage was healed, and both parties \u2014 husband and wife \u2014 gave \u201cthe Christian ideal\u201d a try and found it works! So, on a larger point, I will check out her blog. Thank you for reposting this!\nIt\u2019s so very sad when people try to twist God\u2019s Word into such convolutions that it ends up \u201csaying\u201d the opposite of what it truly means.\nLast year my son married a wonderful Christian mother of three who had invested a decade in her first marriage. Though divorced for a long time, he hypocritically attempted to play the \u201cGod doesn\u2019t recognize divorce\u201d card with the elders of the church she attended. Fortunately they rightly divided God\u2019s word\u2026 and she and her children have found the husband and father they deserve!\nGod bless you, Rebekah.\nI\u2019m glad to hear that the elders of her church handled the situation so well and offered her support! I\u2019m also so glad to hear that she and your son are so happily married. God brought something beautiful to such a difficult situation. Thank you for sharing that. It\u2019s great encouragement!!!\nMay all this settle in your favor and the day come when you look back on a most uncomfortable time.\nGod is making a way. He has been very faithful to me throughout it all and every day is another step forward. Thank you!\nI think I know a little about what it must be like to be freed from a cage, and yet, sometimes, see that same prison hover close by, threatening us in different ways. Fleeing from one form of abuse, we run the risk of acquiescing to another form. Being freed from abuse myself, one thing that I\u2019m learning is to recognize the mark of an abuser: the need to become God in our lives. These days, if a person I suspect might be a potential abuser enters my life, I move away and keep my distance, accepting him/her only when I am sure I have read this person wrong.\nBut it requires a lot of strength to do this; it isn\u2019t easy.\nGod be with you, Rebekah.\nGod sees the heart of mankind.. I know it is difficult when we feel condemned by others.. Thank God there is no condemnation through Christ Jesus.\nNext Next post: Brokenness",

        "raw_content": "MLB rolls out iBeacons in first two of over 20 parks ahead of 2014 season\nMajor League Baseball on Friday announced the successful deployment of Apple iBeacon-compatible hardware in Dodger Stadium and Petco Park, with further installations planned for completion at more than 20 ballparks before the 2014 stateside season opener in March.\nWith 65 iBeacons between them, the Dodgers and Padres' ballparks have become the first sports venues in the world to feature permanent installations of the micro-location technology, said MLB Advanced Media (MLBAM) (via The Sacramento Bee).\n\"We are proud to be the first ballpark to roll out iBeacon technology, and we'd like to thank our partners at MLBAM for the effort to make this happen,\" said Padres President and CEO Mike Dee. \"The Padres are focused on improving every aspect of how fans experience games at Petco Park, and this technology, especially through its integration with MLB.com's At The Ballpark app, will be an integral part of that.\"\nMLBAM's iBeacon initiative was first revealed in September 2013 and looks to bring smartphone-toting baseball fans a new level of interactivity and convenience while taking in a game. Working in conjunction with the MLB at the Ballpark app, the service will grant users targeted, location-based information regarding stadium amenities, points of interest and more.\n\"Our top priority always has been to build technology to support our clubs and fans with an unrivaled experience in these world-class facilities,\" said MLBAM's SVP of wireless Adam Ritter.\"The introduction of iBeacon services in our At The Ballpark app will be the latest evolution in this process, giving us another important platform to engage fans with their surroundings and to enjoy customized experiences through their iPhones.\"\nApple's iBeacon technology leverages the Bluetooth Low Energy protocol to offer two-way wireless communication at varying distances. For example, in a retail setting like an Apple Store, the system can notify customers of special deals and product information. Store owners can also use the tech to monitor metrics like customer traffic.\nAfter the 2014 season officially starts with a series between the Dodgers and the Diamondbacks in Australia, the Dodgers will return to the states to face off against the Padres on their home turf at Petco Park on March 30. By that time, MLBAM said iBeacons should be deployed and operational in at least 20 ballparks.\nB...b...but...Apple is through! Washed up! /s\nHowever, this doesn't change Apple's position at all. How does this help Apple? Is Apple selling the iBeacon hardware? Probably not and such low cost hardware wouldn't even budge Apple's revenue needle. How does this help Apple? Even Android smartphones come with BLE so most consumers will still go out and buy even more Android smartphones because they're cheaper than iPhones. iBeacon won't help Apple at all from being washed up unless iBeacons can either earn them lots more revenue from iBeacon hardware or sell more iPhones. Neither is likely from what I see. I am also a long-term Apple shareholder but unless Apple can acquire its own search engine or acquire Tesla, the company's value isn't going anywhere but down.",

        "raw_content": "Gratitude: 11 of the many things I loved in Paris\nI have painstakingly learned to count my blessings every day, a practice not particularly natural for an old cynic like me, but actually helpful in maintaining spiritual and emotional peace and calm. I suggest readers out there make this a practice too. I\u2019m spilling over with gratitude right now, after my recent quickie trip to Paris with my husband, who had to travel there to make a speech. Here are a few of the many things I loved and felt grateful for in Paris:\n2. Everyone speaks French (and English).\n3. The bridges over the Seine, which connect the Left and Right Banks, especially the glorious Pont Alexandre III, with its Art Noveau lamps and its golden winged horses, cherubs and nymphs, and the Pont Solferino, where lovers place locks on the sides of the bridge and throw the keys into the Seine to symbolize their undying love! Where else but in Paris?\n4. Reading \u201cThe Paris Wife\u201d in Paris. Now I\u2019ll have to read lots more Hemingway.\n5. Having dinner with my husband\u2019s French publisher, Dominique Gilbert, a lovely and kind woman (and of course brilliant for publishing him), her husband, and another couple, friends of theirs, at La Fontaine de Mars. This is the restaurant where President Obama ate with Michele and maybe snubbed Sarkozy???? Basque food. I\u2019m glad I tried Cassoulet. It was very authentic, but might have been a little TOO authentic for me. (We\u2019re talking beans, duck, and sausage.)\n6. Receiving an email while there from a theater workshop back here granting me an interview. I\u2019m hoping they\u2019ll help me stage my play-in-progress, \u201cSurvival Instructions,\u201d a kind of one woman autobiographical thing, with supporting players, based on my memoir. Do I have the acting chops to be the \u201cone woman?\u201d We\u2019ll see. The last time I was on stage was 30 years ago, when I played \u201cInez,\u201d one of three characters looking for a way out of hell in Jean-Paul Sartre\u2019s \u201cNo Exit.\u201d Also grateful for the other email I received, also while in Paris, that I now have an agent for that very memoir. On the creative front, things are definitely moving along nicely.\n7. Watching my husband speak about his subject, entrepreneurship and customer development (His book is called, The Start Up Owners Manual. Here\u2019s the link to the book on Amazon.) Bob was a hit, even if most of his jokes were lost on the French audience. I got the jokes however. (I\u2019ve been getting them for 35 years.)\n8. An authentic home-cooked meal in Versailles (the town, not the palace) at the home of the parents of our friend, Gregoire. Gregoire\u2019s mom must have been cooking for days, and she served each of many courses with great ritual and love. Also loved talking politics with the group. Surprised to find a Frenchman advocating for a kind of United States of Europe.\n8. The Rodin Museum, where you can walk right up to some of the most famous statues in the world. Standing in front of Rodin\u2019s white marble masterpiece, \u201cThe Kiss,\u201d I found myself weeping. Only one other artist ever did that to me before. Jackson Pollack.\n9. The artist Muriel Stalaven, whose work we saw in a street exhibition, also brought me to tears. (Wow. Two in one trip.) Here\u2019s a link to her site, which includes a video that shows how she creates her figure drawings in ink in seconds. I\u2019m not exactly sure why I was so moved by her work. Its simplicity, maybe.\n11. The Church of St. Surplice. I love the churches of Europe, but I am always struck by how strange and ironic it is that the Catholic Church, the hierarchical and dogmatic church that erected such edifices (not to mention that often appears to be morally bankrupt, as in, say, the Inquisition, and the harboring of pedophile priests), could have developed out of the simple message of Jesus, who, it seems to me, preached only non-heirarchical kindness, inclusion, and love.\nThis entry was posted on June 27, 2012, in Barack Obama, Gratitude, Random Thoughts, Thoughts out there and tagged gratitude, Hemingway, Paris, Paris Wife, Pont Solferino, Rodin, Start-up Owners Manual.\t2 Comments\nHow to calm and become clear\nTake a look at this. It appears to be a photograph taken by a photographer standing (or maybe kneeling) inside that house looking through the windows at the sky and ocean at a particular moment in time. But since it\u2019s actually a photograph of a painting created by an artist who was presumably (although not necessarily) standing inside that house at a different moment or moments, within this picture both the consciousness of the photographer and the artist and each of their perspectives and moments are present at once.\nI love this photo because it helps me remember to maintain perspective. Sometimes I forget this and become caught up in my own nonsense. I suspect you do too. The photograph of the painting reminds me that suffering binds us up in our own egos, as mine did spectacularly when I was so bereaved over the loss of my son, even now occasionally when I get depressed, mostly over egocentric things like ambition, failure, success, etc. The painting reminds me that even though each of us lives inside our little lives, bound by our egos and our particular place and time, we are all are a part of the sand of a vast universe of which we are absolutely integral and which is also utterly indifferent to us. How do I know this? I\u2019m not a religious person, and in fact I loath so much of religion, feel it\u2019s responsible for much of the trauma that occurs on our planet, and recoil in horror when governments allow or promote faith over science. (I always wonder why would God give humans these big brains with which we could eventually discover, measure, and categorize the universe in scientific ways, and then want us to ignore or discount all we\u2019ve learned in favor of what humans believed by \u201cfaith\u201d before there was science. Makes no sense to me.)\nAnd yet, I have actually had several transcendent moments in my life. One occurred when I was writing. I was sitting at my desk working on my third novel, the one that means so much to me, because I believe that writing it, the process of writing it, saved my life after losing my son, yanked me from the prison of my own suffering ego. I was struggling mightily with plot and character, and with the idea that I could never write a novel about a woman recovering from grief over the loss of her son since a woman who loses a child never \u201crecovers.\u201d\nSuddenly I felt as if time had slowed to a virtual crawl, almost stopped. I could hear the ticking of the clock, and see every corner of my office and item on my desk, and then all at once I felt as if I had separated from my body, moved beyond my office and my desk, and yet I was simultaneously sitting there, inside my body and my own consciousness, listening to my clock ticking, and also looking at myself from outside my body, from someplace else and everyplace else, and from both inside and outside every other consciousness in the universe that has existed or will exist. A feeling of complete calm and knowing came upon me. It was as if I had transcended the boundary of my own ego and achieved God consciousness. Some might say I was having a breakdown. Maybe I was.\nYet that was the moment when the whole plot of my novel emerged. I had been suffering with grief for years, then suffering to write a novel about that grief for many years after that. The \u201cghost\u201d of the novel, who is kind of a personification of the psychological process of grief, came to me in that moment of transcendence. The ghost (or demon, really) would pose all the ego-laden questions to the horribly suffering mother that any bereaved mother asks herself, all the questions I had been asking myself for years, the where did I go wrong, what did I do to deserve this, am I going crazy, questions. He would engage her in a kind of review of her life, mock her place in the world, her right to be here, her sanity; he would mock all, just as I had been doing in missing my boy, wondering whose fault it was, and hating myself and everyone else, and the universe that would do such a thing to me, in fact. All grief, all suffering, all of it, is bound up in \u201cI\u201d \u2013the ego. But from that moment on\u2026well, it was as if I was channeling the ghost and his dialogue. It was as if both he and his dialogue had already existed somewhere in the universe, along with everything else that exists, will exist, or has ever existed. It was as if my transcendent moment\u2013and it was only a moment\u2013had allowed me somehow to gain access to him, and this access took me relatively swiftly to the completion of the book. Which vastly decreased my suffering.\nWhen we detach from our suffering egos, we become calm and the path and the way becomes clear.\nThis entry was posted on February 27, 2012, in Survival Inspiration, Survival Tips, Thoughts out there and tagged calm, clarity, consciousness, transcendence.\t5 Comments\nBirds on the Wires (vs. Mutant Parakeets)\nI\u2019m posting the video below just because it\u2019s lovely. And because it reminds me to appreciate the beauty and wonder of nature, even in the pack of mutant parakeets that are always screeching outside my house. How did the mutants get there, you ask? Well, apparently a truck transporting parakeets crashed on the highway and the birds escaped. They somehow found their way to the huge lights of the ball fields near our house. There in those lights they built their nests; warmed themselves through many a harsh, cold winter; and grew stronger, heartier, and greener with each passing year. Twenty years later, the birds have not only been fruitful and multiplied; they\u2019ve mutated into a brand new species: PARAKEETUS GIGANTUS. About a year ago, the birds\u2019 nests having become condominium complexes necessitating ballplayers and spectators to duck and cover from incoming PARAKEETUS GIGANTUS POOP, the City, in its infinite wisdom, decided that species PARAKEETUS GIGANTUS was no longer welcome on public property and destroyed said nests. At the same time, a bird loving neighbor decided to hang multiple bird feeders on her property, and word quickly spread among PARAKEETUS GIGANTUS: \u201cHEY! THERE\u2019S REALLY GOOD GRUB OVER AT THE JONES!\u201d Well, guess what? Hundreds of the mutant green suckers are now living at the Dorf\u2019s house\u2013multiplying in Dorf trees, pooping on Dorf cars, and squawking in Dorf ears.\nBut I do love nature.

This is NOT a grief post, even though death is involved, since Wexler died on Friday at the age on 91 in Florida. The thing is, I keep hearing his music being played in tribute on the radio, and let\u2019s face it, the man essentially INVENTED \u201crhythm and blues\u201d as well as \u201cblue-eyed soul\u201d and produced some of the greatest music EVER, including: The Drifters, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding, Wilson Picket, Sonny and Cher, Dusty Springfield, Led Zepplin, Dr. John, Willie Nelson, Dire Straits, Bob Dylan , Carlos Santana, and Etta James.\nOh, how we grooved back in high school to the rhythm and blues, songs the likes of which have never been heard again, such incredible songs as \u201cRespect\u201d, \u201cIn the Midnight Hour\u201d, \u201cMustang Sally\u201d, \u201cChain of Fools\u201d, \u201cDock of the Bay\u201d, and so many more? It makes me swoon with memory just thinking about it. How do you ever forget stacking the records on the turntable, blasting the music and dancing until you danced yourself into exhaustion? How do you ever forget the soulful, imagination-stirring magic of \u201cWhen a Man Loves A Woman?\u201d How do you forget hanging out in cars with the radio turned up, listening to \u201cI Say a Little Prayer\u201d or \u201cRespect?\u201d Or going down the shore to Atlantic City long before gambling came in, when the landscape was graced by wicker pushcarts on the Boardwalk, and great hotels like the Ambassador and the Ritz rose behind you as you watched the sun rise and listened on the radio to none other than the Drifters singing, \u201cUnder the Boardwalk, we\u2019ll be falling in love\u201d? And fell in love. Ooooohhhh. So great.\nThank you Jerry Wexler. I\u2019m glad your Mama couldn\u2019t corral her wayward son.\nThis entry was posted on August 18, 2008, in Music, Thoughts out there and tagged Music, tribute.\t1 Comment\nBook Recommendations: Psychological Thriller/Dramas\nA reader from Texas writes:\nThanks for writing three unforgettable books. I hope you will keep on writing. And now I would like to have your suggestions for other books in the same category as yours.\nWell. Hmmmm. I thank you for joining the small but select contingent of people on the planet who have read the complete works of Fran Dorf, to date. I\u2019m adding \u201cto date\u201d since you hope that I will keep on writing. Another fiction? I\u2019m not sure. I\u2019ve been working on a memoir and essays (one of which I\u2019m going to present at an academic conference in October), and of course I have my blog. The blog is fun, and I\u2019ve had quite a few visitors, more than I expected, to be honest, but it certainly hasn\u2019t taken the world by storm. I heartily thank everyone who\u2019s come to visit, and hope you will come back and recommend it to your friends.\nI started three or four novels after Saving Elijah, and even finished one, but it didn\u2019t sell to a publisher and the others just didn\u2019t pan out. The business has changed so much. And maybe I have too, after the experience of losing my son and then writing and publishing Saving Elijah. In any case, there just doesn\u2019t seem to be much room for writers who used to be called \u201cthe midlist,\u201d that is, those who sell modestly but are given the chance to keep publishing, even if they don\u2019t achieve bestseller status. The whole business\u2013 publishers, editors, big store retail\u2013is geared toward bestsellers. Whereas publishers used to understand that a writer grows with each effort and nurtured you along, nowadays it\u2019s all about the bottom line, and if you don\u2019t hit it out of the park right away, you are going to have a tough slog. The publishing world is full of people like me who\u2019ve published three novels and now can\u2019t seem to find a place. And it doesn\u2019t seem to have all that much to do with reviews, as my books were very well reviewed. The truth is, Saving Elijah may well be my last fiction. My longtime editor writes constantly to encourage me to do what I do and write fiction again. She\u2019s very persuasive and persistent, so you never know.\nBut other writers have produced and will continue to produce wonderful novels and somehow these get published, and so now on to the recommendations. I\u2019m a little uncomfortable with the idea of recommending books that would be in the same \u201ccategory\u201d as mine, as I don\u2019t think my books fit neatly into a category, particularly Saving Elijah, which is part family drama, part ghost story and part thriller. Oh, perhaps they\u2019re all broadly in the psychological suspense category, but I think all good books are psychological, and all good books are also suspenseful. With psychological and suspense as the two criteria, anything might fit, from Toni Morrison to James Patterson. I won\u2019t be recommending James Patterson (He hardly needs me; he has millions of fans), and the truth is I only rarely read the classic psychological thrillers any more, and so I admit this is an eclectic mix indeed, but nevertheless I offer some of my favorites. This is completely subjective of course, but to a greater or lesser degree all of these books have literary merit, authentic human drama, some degree of psychological sophistication, plots with compelling narrative drive in which plot is no more or less important than the characterizations, and characters with interesting and believable interior lives whose actions are convincing. All have a protagonist who is, either from inside demons or outside forces, in some degree of psychological danger. Some may be obscure, but all are in my opinion worth it. So aside from my own three books which I list first in a shameless act of self-promotion (hey, every other writer self-promotes, I figure it\u2019s about time I did it too), here are my recommendations in no particular order:\nA Reasonable Madness by Fran Dorf. Entertainment Weekly called it \u201csatisfying\u201d and United Press International called it a \u201cwonderfully believable psychological thriller.\u201d\nFlight by Fran Dorf. A Booklist starred review said, \u201cFran Dorf pilots this ambitious book with infallible accuracy\u2026an emotional landscape, two decades of decaying counterculture, artfully distilled and disassembled. Ethan skit is the quintessance of the ex-con loner.\u201d Pub Weekly called it \u201criviting, tantalizing, shocking.\u201d\nSaving Elijah by Fran Dorf. Part ghost story, part family drama, part thriller, Saving Elijah is my baby, my \u201ctestament to maternal grief,\u201d as the reviewer at Amazon.com called it. The Wall Street Journal called it \u201cambitious, imaginative, and beautifully done.\u201d See more reviews above and on the novels page. I especially recommend the book to the bereaved, because for all its supernatural trappings and its wise-talking, spectral literary devise the book is more than anything an extended metaphor for the psychological process of grief.\nAffinity by Sarah Waters: This period novel takes place in the nineteenth century, and is one of the best ghost stories I have ever had the pleasure of reading. I also loved Fingersmith, by the same author, another period piece.\nAsylum by Patrick McGrath: This writer, who apparently grew up as the son of an Asylum superintendent, writes hypnotically and knowingly about mental illness, obsession, and betrayal. Don\u2019t pay any attention to the mediocre film of Asylum with Natasha Richardson; this is the real thing. An unforgettable narrator. Brilliant, deeply psychological, riveting. I also loved McGrath\u2019s Tales of Manhattan Then and Now: a collection of three extraordinary novellas.\nPrivileged Conversation by Evan Hunter: This is an oldie but a goodie. It\u2019s Ed McBain writing as Evan Hunter. Sexy and psychologically sound. About a middle aged psychologist who becomes involved with and obsessed by a beautiful young dancer. As the story progresses, the man gradually begins to see this troubled young girl as person rather than object, which implicates him as exploiter rather than lover. A fascinating book.\nThe Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. This is a broadly plotted, ornately written book by a Spaniard about a young man obsessed with a book called \u201cThe Shadow of the Wind\u201d and its mysterious author. Daniel Sempere, the son of a widowed bookstore owner, is 10 when he discovers a novel, The Shadow of the Wind, by Juli\u00e1n Carax. The novel is rare, the author obscure, and rumors tell of a horribly disfigured man who has been burning every copy he can find of Carax\u2019s novels, and the search for the book takes Daniel on a journey that is full of thrilling twists and turns. Gothic. Scary, erotic, touching and tragic.\nThe Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox by Maggie O\u2019Farrell: A haunting and absorbing novel about a young woman who receives a phonecall about her great aunt Esme, whom she never knew existed, who is being released from Cauldstone Hospital-where she has been locked away for more than sixty one years. Beautifully written, told by a terribly believable if naive narrator, a pleasure, with an end that will shock and surprise you, until you realize how perfectly right it is.\nMy Soul to Keep by Tananarive Due: This one is less believable than the others, of course, since it concerns the \u201cimmortals\u201d who live forever, but it\u2019s still thrilling and psychologically sound and keeps you going.\nThe Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield A psychological thriller about the lives we invent for ourselves.\nDr. Neruda\u2019s Cure for Evil by Rafael Yglesias. This a a large, long book, but well worth the read for the psychologically sophisticated reader, especially those interested in psychoanalysis. Pub Weekly calls it an \u201cambitious therapeutic morality tale that explores the banality of evil.\u201d This one can\u2019t really be classified; it\u2019s a psychological thriller, a morality tale, a drama, an expose, and a novel of ideas all rolled into one.\nMore later. Gotta go now.\nThis entry was posted on June 13, 2008, in Books and Film, Thoughts out there, Uncategorized, Writing Thoughts and tagged book recommendations, books, psychological thrillers.\t1 Comment",

        "raw_content": "Red Baneberry - red berry form\nThe inflorescence is a rounded cluster of small white 4 to 10 part flowers on a long stalk, pyramidal in shape, but about as long as wide; one cluster per stem.\nFruit: The lustrous berries may occasionally be white (photo page), but on this species, be they red or white, are each on a very slender greenish stalk which is dull green to brown at maturity, The fleshy berries are oval in shape and contain 8 or more hard seeds that are cone shaped to wedge shaped, dark brown to reddish brown in color. Seeds are difficult to start as they must have a cold moist period followed by a warm moist period and another cold moist period, which means if sowed outside, they will not germinate until the 2nd year.\nHabitat: As it is a woodland plant Red Baneberry is found in shady spots of open woods and forests where there is wet to mesic moisture conditions. The root is a woody caudex with fibrous roots. Stems die back to the ground in the fall. The plants locations in the Upland Garden are mostly near Aster Aisle and the Fern Glen. In the Woodland Garden it will be found along shady paths.\nNames: The genus name Actaea is the Latin name that was used by Pliny and adopted by Linnaeus. The Latin is thought to come from old Greek, either aktea or akte, for 'elder' which probably refers to a similarity of leaf type with that plant. The species, rubra, is Latin for \"red\". The common name of baneberry was applied in reference to the poisonous fruit. The author names for the plant classification are: \u2018Aiton\u2019 is for William Aiton (1731-1793), Scottish botanist, who succeeded Phillip Miller as superintendent of the Chelsea Physic Garden and then became director of Kew Gardens, where he published Hortus Kewensis, the Garden\u2019s catalogue of plants. His work was revised by \u2018Willd.\u2019 who is Carl Ludwig Willdenow (1765-1812), German botanist, a founder of the study of the geographic distribution of plants. He was director and curator of the Botanic Garden of Berlin.\nComparisons: A. rubra is similar to the White Baneberry (Actaea pachypoda Elliot) except there the stalks of the berries are much thicker and red and the flower cluster is more elongated, but the cluster shape is not absolutely definitive.\nAbove: The 2 to 3 times, 3-parted leaflets are held high on stiff stems. The long flower stalks arise from the leaf stem.\nBelow: 1st photo - The inflorescence is a more rounded cluster than those of the White Baneberry. 2nd photo - The jointed stems and leaf stalks - the stem below is free of leaves.\nBelow: Fruit begins green in color then changing to bright red. Note the thin greenish stalks of each berry which remain green to brownish at maturity - not red.\nNotes: Red Baneberry is indigenous to the Garden area. Eloise Butler catalogued it on May 25, 1907; in addition in 1910 she planted some plants that she obtained in Cokato, MN, and on July 11, 1912 more plants from Foley, MN. This plant was listed on Martha Crone's 1951 inventory of plants in the Garden at that time and she planted seeds in 1953. Susan Wilkins added plants in 2009, '12, and '13. Red Baneberry is native to Minnesota in most counties throughout the state except a few in the SW quadrant. It is found throughout North America except the SE quadrant of the U.S. from Texas east to the coast. A. pachypoda, the White Baneberry, is the only other species of Actaea found in Minnesota.",

        "raw_content": "Sony Boss Discusses The Importance Of Deadlines During Game Development\nSony understands that delaying games can sometimes be essential to the creative process.\nIf there\u2019s one good thing we can say about Sony, it\u2019s that they have an incredibly pro-creative attitude towards game development. They let developers work on new stuff, and they let them take their time. The result is that a lot of Sony games may see a lot of delays, but when they release, they are almost inevitably worth the wait without exception.\nThis is because of Sony\u2019s unusual attitude towards deadlines in game development. Speaking to Business Insider, Sony Worldwide Studios boss Shawn Layden said that while the company does try to enforce deadlines, they understand that they are not an end unto themselves, and that creative considerations always take precedence. The results, he said, end up compensating for the disappointment that delays generate.\n\u201cYou know, we\u2019ve been at this for over 25 years now. And I think we are understanding better the power of unleashing the creative \u2014 and really being able to speak with individuals, or with teams, that have a vision for a game they wanna bring forward,\u201d he said.\n\u201cAnd I know in the game community, people are disappointed to find out that, \u2018Hey! What do you mean you\u2019re moving it up 30 days, or 60 days, or 90 days?\u2019 But once we\u2019ve come to market, everyone says, \u2018Oh my God, I\u2019m so glad you did.\u2019 Because we can only answer that disappointment by delivering an awesome result.\u201d\nIt\u2019s a healthy attitude to have. Delays often help games reach their true potential and end up far better a product than they would have been had they been forced to release by a certain date to meet whatever deadline. It\u2019s good to see Sony values the creative process more than anything else when it comes to game development.\nIf you want to see more of what Shawn Layden has been saying recently, make sure to check out his remarks on how Sony isn\u2019t standing in the way of cross-platform play (which a developer has refuted since), and why Sony isn\u2019t attending E3 this year.\nTagged With: ps4, sony, sony worldwide studios",

        "title": "Daredevil: Season 2 (SEASON REVIEW) \u2013 Geekritique",
        "raw_content": "Netflix\u2019 model of releasing whole seasons at a time is excellent, but it\u2019s not without its drawbacks. Namely the fact that binging on a show will get you hooked quick and leave you desperately needing another fix even quicker. Daredevil is certainly no exception here. And while it\u2019s great to have it back with 13 all new episodes, I find myself now impatiently waiting for season 3. Because this was just too good.\nSome spoilers throughout. Read at your own peril.\nLet\u2019s just say this up front. It\u2019s not as good as the first season. While there is self discovery on the part of our hero, it\u2019s more a tug-of-war on his moralities than the origin tale of the first season. And it did get old after a time. Also, the lack of a singular threat, as in the case of the first season\u2019s Kingpin, made this feel a little aimless at times.\nWe rarely see Daredevil actually saving individuals this season. Instead he\u2019s more involved in saving the lives (or souls) of his offbeat friends, Frank Castle, Elektra, and sometimes Stick. Which is fine, but c\u2019mon. Either fight them or work with them. Don\u2019t babysit your friends because they have a different way of getting things done.\nI was generally disappointed with Matt Murdock all around this season. Although the guy puts on a good show, he neglects all his real life issues to the point of honest annoyance. Go to work, Matt! Your real friends need you, y\u2019know, the ones who don\u2019t kill people regularly. I understand that is all part of the big issue he\u2019s facing this season, not being capable of managing his personas, but he doesn\u2019t excel at anything beyond the point of fighting. And at the end of the day, I don\u2019t know if I even still like the guy. One of his only redeeming moments as a character comes at the very end of the season, when he has the decency of telling a friend that he is indeed Daredevil \u2013 I just wish it happened sooner.\nThe season has two very good arcs. The first involves the Punisher, and his annihilation of Hell\u2019s Kitchen\u2019s crime gangs. The second involves the reintroduction of Elektra into Matt\u2019s life and how the Hand is starting a secret war.\nWith the Punisher, actor Jon Bernthal absolutely nailed it. The depression. The anger. The hopelessness. And although he\u2019s a character without redemption, you understand his motives. At the end of the day you understand how he could see himself as a good guy, or at least how his methods could be seen as having some form of moral code, however skewed that may be. That said, I was won over by the character, as he\u2019s generally too dark for my enjoyment.\nElektra neither won me over nor made me dislike her any more. She merely was. I never really felt bad for her character, nor did I care for her. But it\u2019s easy to see how close she is to Matt\u2019s heart \u2013 and that is where her character gets interesting. She was the first individual in Matt\u2019s life to really connect with him on a level more than emotional. She understood him, and he fell for her because of it. And now she\u2019s back, and he doesn\u2019t know if he wants her in his life. He\u2019s definitely very tempted by the idea.\nHer plot eventually involves the Hand, an organization older than most countries, whose ultimate goal is to unleash the Black Sky \u2013 a weapon of supposed mass destruction. A Black Sky, as we saw in season 1, is actually a living human being. We don\u2019t know how they\u2019re chosen, how many there are, or what the heck they actually do, but we know there are others out there \u2013 and this season introduces a second one.\nDespite how menacing the Hand actually is, being able to hide the sound of their heartbeat from Daredevil, we don\u2019t fully understand their threat. Ever. Stick is always talking about this war that they wish to start, or have already started, but we don\u2019t know the stakes. They\u2019ve dug a hole in the earth, in the middle of the city, but we never investigate why they\u2019ve done that. Will this carry out into Netflix\u2019 other shows? Or will we have to wait until Daredevil season three to get any resolution? Or even the Defenders miniseries. It\u2019s clear that, of any of the shows, Iron Fist will likely have the most crossover with the story Daredevil is ultimately building.\nThe fights were so spectacularly done this season. It was a dance at times. Other times it\u2019s extremely gut-wrenchingly gruesome. There\u2019s two new hallway scenes of note this time around. The first involves an extended cut of Daredevil fighting in a stairwell, which was stellar. The second involves the Punisher killing a group of people, which was honestly too much.\nI\u2019m not really sure where the line is drawn in the making of this show. They don\u2019t curse. They don\u2019t have any nudity. But the gore is sometimes so brutal it\u2019s hard to watch.\nFoggy Nelson continues acting like a baby this season, but he redeems himself by stepping out of Matt\u2019s shadows and doing things on his own for once. Which is really refreshing. I\u2019m glad to see a character that doesn\u2019t let Matt\u2019s ruin affect him so negatively, but he could do with some lightening up next season. I have a feeling their fallout will have major consequences to the plot next season.\nKaren Page steps into her own in this season as well, taking a personal fascination with the Punisher\u2019s plight. She is a decent reporter, but a terrible writer. We can assume she spent how many weeks working on that case with a blank screen? Anyway, I\u2019m glad she\u2019s given something more to do this season. She was always more of a detective than an assistant in a legal firm, and now she gets to spread her wings a bit. We still don\u2019t have any consequence for her actions in season one, where she killed a man, but I have a feeling that\u2019ll be swept under the rug until the writers finally get around to it.\nWe really need more nods to the MCU. This is a property owned by Marvel and there were minor nods in the first season, but this time around it\u2019s so engrossed in itself it feels almost too self-contained. I expected a joke from Foggy or Elektra saying \u201coh why don\u2019t you just go join the Avengers,\u201d or something. But we don\u2019t get any of that. We only get hints of its wider connection to other Netflix shows, like Jessica Jones and Luke Cage. But that\u2019s it. And it\u2019s a wasted playground if all you do is hang on the monkey bars.\nOverall, this is a solid season, and develops the innards of the Marvel Cinematic Universe very well. It\u2019s a great show, which presents a more mature aspect to Marvel\u2019s overall levity and I\u2019m certainly left on the edge of my seat to get some real answers. Once again, Marvel displays their mastery over the onscreen superhero genre.\nMeet Geekritique\u2019s Contributors\n9 thoughts on \u201cDaredevil: Season 2 (SEASON REVIEW)\u201d\nSince I first read this article I considered commenting on something, but it took me until now to actually do it.\nI agree with the majority of your points and I quite enjoyed the Season \u2013 despite the tangle of story lines, but there is one thing I didn\u2019t get:\nWhy do you consider Foggy to behave like a baby?\nTo me it seemed like he was one of the most reasonable people this and the previous Season.\nHe made his choices \u2013 even if they hurt him \u2013 to stay away from Matt, but still protect his secret; to choose the law above the vigilantes; to stand up to his best friend and tell him what he thinks of his actions.\nOf course he gets back to him or is afraid something happened to him, but you can\u2019t completely erase a bond of friendship like they had in a matter of hours or days.\nYes, he\u2019s the happy-go-lucky comic relief, but he is also a compassionate and caring person that uses his jokes to cheer up other people intentionally.\nYes, he\u2019s afraid to go to court without Matt, but they\u2019ve always been a team and he is used to being the man in the background, so stepping up to the front row was a huge and terrifying step for him \u2013 that he mastered incredibly.\nFor me personally he doesn\u2019t seem like a baby at all.\nAnd I really liked the \u201ctwist\u201d with his meeting with Hogarth.\nMaybe through working with Jessica he\u2019ll understand Matt better, who knows?\nlucindasebastian\nI can deal with the violence but the scene that gets me is the bamboo sticks being plunged into Stick\u2019s fingers. It\u2019s so intimate and close up. Gruesome.\nI didn\u2019t like the love story between Karen, Matt, and Elektra or how he was constantly switching between them. Promising to leave HK with Elektra but she dies so he runs to Karen. It\u2019s apparently the only way he can make a decision.\nI hope for next season they begin to acknowledge the trauma that Karen has been through. It\u2019s been a hard season for her but has proven that she is way more than just a love interest. By showing her the mask, I feel she was reduced to that again. The mask is his, it\u2019s his pain on display, not her trauma as a witness to Castle\u2019s rampage. Her character has been well developed so I hope it continues.\nGreat comment, and a great point you make in that they don\u2019t adequately give Matt a reason to love one of the other. Well said.\nI\u2019m really looking forward to the other shows (Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist) linking back with this one in more concrete ways that just quick cameos and random mentions. I felt like they were setting that up and I\u2019m really excited for the payoff of those setups.\nYeah, can\u2019t agree more with that. Hope they make more connections soon.\nSusan Halloran\nI completely agree with all points given. I felt Karen Page and the Punisher story lines and acting were the best this season!\nI agree to what you have written. But I really don\u2019t want to see d\nDaredevil with Avengers. I actually disliked Avengers due to Thor and other gods flying in the sky. I just want to see superheroes on ground. What I wish to see is the connection with Spiderman due to the villains like Kingpin and may be Punisher. No one has explored that yet and I would want to see that creativity. We all know that what I am imagining will never happen. \ud83d\ude0a\nI don\u2019t mean to say I want him to join the Avengers. I just mean acknowledge their existence.\nYep. That will do. \ud83d\ude42",

It\u2019s no wonder the West is importing these poets, scientists, humanitarians, artists, et al by the millions.\nThere were indeed Muslims who aided Jews during the Holocaust, but the vast majority were on the side of the Nazis. The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Hajj Amin al-Husseini, lived in Berlin during World War II and made broadcasts in Arabic for the Nazis, exhorting Muslims to support the Nazis and kill Jews. So it is no surprise that Muslims would protest this exhibit and get it shut down.\nSeriously, \u201cShow me just what (Islamic Prophet) Muhammad brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.\u201d Pope Benedict XVI quoting from a 14th-century dialogue between the Byzantine emperor, Manuel II Paleologos, and a Persian scholar.\nIslamic Jew-hatred and genocide \u2013 it\u2019s in the Quran.\n\u201cGolders Green mosque cancels Muslim Shoah heroes exhibit,\u201d Jewish News, January 3, 2019:\nA planned exhibition celebrating Muslim Albanians who helped, protected and rescued their Jewish neighbours during the Holocaust has been scrapped.\nNo reason has been given for the cancellation, but Rabbi Natan Levy, head of operations at Faith Forums for London, and one of the organisers behind the event, said: \u201cWe will continue to focus on building local relations even though this event has been cancelled. However, we are confident after reviewing plans there is goodwill to continue working with communities in Barnet.\u2019\nThe venue was put under pressure by opponents of the exhibit including Roshan Salih, editor of British Muslim news site 5 Pillars, who urged a boycott.\nThe event was intended to be part of the mosque\u2019s drive to open and maintain dialogue with its neighbours, in the wake of objections made to its opening, as the Centre for Islamic Understanding\u2026.",

A special train, consisting of a baggage car, Pullman sleeper, and two Directors' cars, bearing a party of Texas and Pacific and Missouri Pacific Railroad officials on a trip of inspection over the former road, collided with the Montesano accommodation. Both trains were running fast, and came together on a sharp curve under a high cliff on the river bank. The crash was terrific and completely wrecked both locomotives, but neither train was much injured. Both engineers reversed and applied air brakes, but there was no time to save themselves, and they and their firemen went into the wreck with their engines. WILLIAM STEVENSON, engineer of the special, received a concussion of the spine and was injured internally. His fireman, LOUIS CHRIST, had both legs torn off, his chest crushed in, and was killed. JOHN McGOVERN, engineer of the Montesano train, was thrown into the river, but was not hurt, and his fireman received only a slight injury.\nPHILIP TOLAND, a nephew of GEN. WISTAR, of the Texas and Pacific Road, and connected with the locomotive department of the Pennsylvania Railway, was riding on the engine of the special and was frightfully mangled, one leg being torn off, his chest crushed in, killing him instantly. The other members of the party were in the rear car and were somewhat shaken up, but the most serious injuries were to ex-Gov. BROWN, General Solicitor of the Missouri Pacific Road, who had one shoulder dislocated, and Gen. WISTAR, who was slightly hurt about the head. Medical air was summoned as speedily as possible, and all were brought to this city. Engineer STEVENSON was taken to the Railroad Hospital, and Gov. BROWN and Gen. WISTAR are at the Southern Hotel. The body of MR. TOLAND was placed in charge of an undertaker, and that of CHRIST, the fireman, was left at Carondelet.\nThe special train had the right of way, but owing to a misunderstanding of the train dispatcher, MR. BURNS, the Montesano train was not ordered to wait until the special had passed. An inquest on the body of TOLAND was held this evening and BURNS was declared responsible for his death.\nJefferson Barracks, MO Railroad Collision, Apr 1885\nClearwater, MO Train Wreck, Aug 1909\nOsceola, MO Train Derails, Aug 1928",

        "title": "MetaMesh.Tech: Building Community Wireless Networks",
        "raw_content": "Startups, Testimonials,\nWireless internet is probably the second most powerful invisible force, the first being God! High-speed wireless internet isn\u2019t a luxury anymore; it is a necessity. However, there are many places on the planet that still lack this facility. MetaMesh.tech is a non-profit organization working to build Community Wireless Networks in Pittsburgh and any other place that requires their services.\nWe spoke with Adam Longwill, the Founder at MetaMesh.tech, to share his thoughts on how Meta Mesh is contributing towards building community wireless networks in Pittsburgh and to share 5 tips with businesses looking to start a business in the hardware space. Read on!\nWhat inspired you to start MetaMesh.tech? Tell us the story.\nMeta Mesh Wireless Communities is a non-profit that started out by teaching small communities how to build their own public Wi-Fi. We ended up manufacturing our own water-tight cases and configuring the Wi-Fi routers that went inside them. We started MetaMesh.tech as a web store to sell the hardware tech that Meta Mesh specializes in. This has helped interested communities from around the US to purchase a few devices and test their capabilities before working with us to build larger networks in their hometowns.\nWhat makes Meta Mesh unique and how is it contributing towards building community wireless networks?\nFrom applying to jobs to filing for benefits, you need to have a computer with Internet access. Wi-Fi routers are faster and cheaper than they have ever been, but the cost of Internet access is constantly increasing. We believe the future of connectivity in impoverished neighborhoods is public Wi-Fi. And we aim to create a network that connects these neighborhoods and other, more affluent business districts to the Internet and use our non-profit status to earn grants from investors while also working towards paying for the network\u2019s infrastructure.\nCould you share 5 tips with businesses looking to startup in the hardware space?\n1: Just build it. It\u2019s astonishing how much professional-grade equipment you can prototype and put into production with a few hours of online study and a few e-mails to people who might be helpful to your project.\n2: Be ethical. If you\u2019re going to make a product and start a business, you should be doing it because you want to improve the kingdom \u2013 not just your castle. You won\u2019t burn out as quickly because you\u2019ll be able to sleep at night if you go slowly, respect your customers, know how you\u2019re going to improve the world, and see everyone around you as possible partners instead of competition. In all ways, be ethical.\n3: Get a lawyer. You can move around your space or market much more confidently if you know what the law says about whatever you\u2019re doing. Labor law, FCC radio limits, insurance, contract law, and data security are all important to know. It\u2019s often the case that the lines you\u2019re worried about crossing legally aren\u2019t that big of a deal but there are other lines you had no idea that existed, and you\u2019ve been over them for six months. So, get a lawyer.\n4: Just ask. Forget that stubborn voice in your head that says, \u201cdon\u2019t bother asking, they\u2019ll never go for it.\u201d It\u2019s usually wrong. Lots of people and companies would love to help a startup out so long as you are well prepared before you interact with them. Just ask and say why you want their help! Then make it easy and low-impact for them to give you that help.\n5: Don\u2019t worry about losing staff. It takes time to find the people who have the same vision as you. The right people will find you eventually and stick around if you are ethical to yourself and to others. There are more, often better people out there who will pay you with their time and investment more than those who want to get paid in money or admiration.\nWhat are the trends you foresee in the wireless communications industry?\nWireless communication is the present and the future of Internet access. Whether it is in an urban environment with a million smartphones or in remote, rugged West Virginian valleys, it is way simpler to put up a tower and serve 100 people than it is to run super high-speed fiber to 10. While fiber should be available to every home and business \u2013 we need stop-gap measures put in place to service millions of people who need high-speed connectivity now.\nWhat are your future plans for Meta Mesh?\nWe would like to build a backhaul network in Pittsburgh, find deserving projects in and around Pittsburgh and light them up, and have the infrastructure and maintenance paid for by grants and private entities. In five years we see half the city covered with high-speed Internet access from our backhaul network.\nWe thought it was super cool to have a .tech TLD. It allowed us to have a separate domain that we could link to from other websites that looked and felt like a standalone entity, separate from the messaging that we had on metamesh.org, our non-profit\u2019s main site.",

        "raw_content": "These Landscapes Covered In Oil Wells Are Like Huge Alien Cities\nCrude oil\u2014or petroleum\u2014has been used since ancient times for several purposes, mostly for dimly lighting up buildings and streets. Only after inventing the fractional distillation of oil and discovering vast mineral oil fields under the ground and sea in the 19th and 20th centuries, petroleum became the most important material for the modern nations, who could fuel all their cars, airplanes, boats\u2014and, of course, tanks, bombers, and warships that helped make the world safe for more oil consumption.\nOil surely has changed our civilization forever, just like oil-drilling facilities changed nature and the landscape, even in the very hearts of our cities. These images from the beginning of the 20th century are shocking examples of how brutally the human race can transform natural scenery into something un-earthly and almost totally alien.\nOil wells of the Petroleum Production Company Nobel Brothers Ltd., a.k.a.

        "title": "The Writings of M D Nalapat: Arvind Kejriwal should not be jailed (Pakistan Observer)",
        "raw_content": "Arvind Kejriwal should not be jailed (Pakistan Observer)\nTuesday, May 27, 2014 - FORMER President of the victorious BJP, Nitin Gadkari, will regret the criminal defamation case that he filed against Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) supremo Arvind Kejriwal, who was Chief Minister of Delhi for 49 days. The AAP leader had called Gadkari among the most corrupt politicians in India, zeroing in on the fact that the former President of the BJP had built up a substantial business empire. While he has reportedly been given a clean chit in his income-tax dealings, senior officials claim that a former Union Finance Minister in the Manmohan Singh government was the individual who acted as the guardian angel of Gadkari, enabling him to escape prosecution for large amounts of money entering and leaving accounts controlled by companies known to be controlled by him.\nInterestingly, Gadkari has made a chauffeur of his the Director of one of his companies, although this cannot be because of the fact that the gentleman in question is the primary witness in a case involving the finding of the dead body of a young girl in a car belonging to Gadkari Certainly it would be wrong to blame Gadkari for this tragedy. Of course, the family of the girl sought to ensure a comprehensive investigation into the tragedy. However, the Maharashtra police appear to have concluded that the girl either killed herself in some way or \u201csuffocated to death\u201d inside the car, despite the presence of bloodstains and much else which suggested a struggle. The reluctance of the Maharashtra police to enquire deeply into the death of the girl has been replicated in several other cases involving VIPs.\nFor example, HRD Minister of State ( till May 26) Shashi Tharoor lost his wife in circumstances that have yet to be revealed by the Delhi police. Some reports say that Sunanda Tharoor, who was apparently upset at the minister\u2019s friendship with a charming Pakistani lady, had injuries all over her upper torso. Perhaps such reports are inaccurate. Unfortunately, the Delhi police, which functions for the present under Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde, a faithful follower of Sonia Gandhi, is refusing to enlighten the public as to the exact circumstances of the passing away of Mrs Tharoor. Like Tharoor, Nitin Gadkari too is a genial individual who believes in the philosophy of \u201clive and let live\u201d, and consequently has friends across the political spectrum, including Congress Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde as well as each of the past three Congress Chief Ministers of Maharashtra.\nHence it is very unlikely that the full facts behind the death of a young girl in his car will ever emerge from the shadows Now that it is his complaint of criminal defamation that has resulted in sending their leader to prison, albeit for the brief time of two days, the AAP is unlikely to adopt the same lenient attitude towards Nitin Gadkari as the Maharashtra police or Income-tax authorities acting under the orders of the Finance Minister of the day. The AAP is likely to target him in Parliament and outside, especially if (as widely expected) Gadkari is given a plum portfolio in the Narendra Modi Council of Ministers. The Prime Minister-designate of India, Narendra Damodardas Modi, is himself completely free of any suspicion of corruption .\nIndeed, unlike almost any other political leader, he has even refrained from ensuring that his close relatives benefitted in any way from the exalted post of Chief Minister of the business-rich state of Gujarat that he has held since 2001. His brothers and sister live simple lives, as does Modi himself, who uses just four of the many rooms in his official residence in Gandhinagar, including an office room, a small and simply furnished bedroom and a couple of rooms for key staff. However, the problem facing the new Prime Minister is that the upper reaches of his party are filled with individuals who have made considerable amounts of money for themselves as well as friends and family.\nThis when Modi himself uses only Indian cars, such as the Mahindra Scorpio. Thus it will be a difficult task for Modi to gather around him senior ministerial colleagues who are as honest as he himself is There is intense pressure on Modi to accommodate those who played important roles in the 1998-2004 Atal Behari Vajpayee NDA administration, despite the fact that swirling allegations of high living and corruption, including cases of massive rigging of the stock market, resulted in the defeat of the BJP in 2004. The taint was so pervasive that even in 2009 the BJP lost, and it was only when Modi was made the Prime Ministerial candidate nine months ago that the BJP\u2019s fortunes revived. He now faces the task of ensuring that a Modi administration avoids the errors of the Vajpayee period in a situation where several key ministries are expected to go to holdovers from that period. Given his seniority, it is almost certain that Nitin Gadkari will be a senior Cabinet minister.\nIndeed, he is trying for one of the four portfolios of Home, Defense, Finance and External Affairs that entitle the holder to be a member of the Cabinet Committee on Security and the Cabinet Committee on Political Affairs, thereby gaining access to sensitive state secrets The action of a Delhi magistrate in sending Aam Aadmi Party supremo Arvind Kejriwal to jail for calling Gadkari corrupt has resulted in the media beating up on Kejriwal himself rather than his jailers. However, the fact is that such a precedent will have a chilling effect on freedom of speech in India. If the law is such that Kejriwal can be sent to jail for the remarks he made, such a colonial-era law needs to get scrapped. The media in India is missing out on the big picture, which is that the Kejriwal judgement is a significant threat to the freewheeling debate about the mores and foibles of politicians that a genuine democracy would welcome rather than prosecute. In jailing Kejriwal, what is at risk is freedom of speech.",

        "raw_content": "Celebrating Service and Sacrifice on 9/11- The Birth of Another \"Great Generation\"\nCelebrating Service and Sacrifice on 9/11\nEleven years ago, our country suffered the tragedy of 9/11. Since that time, our service men and women have fought a war against those who harmed us and our government has worked to prevent future attacks.\nNow, after a decade of mourning, it is time to honor those we lost by celebrating the service and sacrifice of Americans since that day.\nPresident Roosevelt called December 7, 1941 \u201ca date that will live in infamy.\u201d The attack on Pearl Harbor signified the United States\u2019 entrance into a bloody World War that affected all Americans. But equally, with time and perseverance, this infamous day also signified the birth of our \u201cGreatest Generation\u201d.\nThe war effort in the \u201940s advanced our country\u2019s skilled labor and manufacturing. During and after the war, the country took a role as an international super power\u2013strong on defense and foreign policy. The American population came together through shared sacrifice, which helped usher an era of economic prosperity. And from Dwight Eisenhower to George H.W. Bush, seven Word War II veterans have been elected U.S. President.\nWe can see threads of this growth in America today. After more than a decade, we can better recognize the many great accomplishments born from a tragic event.\nSince 2002, national service organizations and the 9/11 community have commemorated the anniversary of the attacks through service. Bringing citizens together not only to mark the date, but also to serve their communities. Now recognized as a National Day of Service, in 2011 more than 30 million Americans engaged in charitable service activities on 9/11.\nIn World War II, Ted Williams and Jimmy Stewart put on the military uniform and served overseas. In the current generation, Pat Tillman answered that same call. Pat left a prospering NFL career to serve as an Army Ranger. After his death in Afghanistan, his wife Marie carried on his legacy through the Pat Tillman Foundation. Among other things, the Foundation awards scholarships to Tillman Military Scholars as a way to empower the best and brightest post-9/11 veterans.\nAcross the country, young veterans of the recent conflicts are stepping into roles as public servants and civic leaders. They are running for political offices at the local, state, and federal level. And their desire to lead is emblematic of the qualities and values of those who have served.\nToday, this new generation of veterans strives\u2013along with civilian counterparts\u2013to become another \u201cgreat generation\u201d. Out of the events of 9/11 and a decade of armed conflict, our country has cultivated a cohort of veterans and civilians who are ready to lead the country forward. They are a group of young Americans who have seen struggles and persevered, who are trained as leaders and team builders, and who can inspire greatness amongst all Americans.\nIn the midst of our commemoration of the 9/11 tragedies, it is important to also take time to understand service and value sacrifice. From December 7th to September 11th, and every day before and after, our ability to find the light in even the darkest hour is part of what makes America a great nation.\nBut if these triumphs go by the wayside\u2013if citizens do not answer the call to service in their own communities, if society fails to empower returning veterans to lead, if the country is not inspired by this service and sacrifice\u2013then a generation will miss its opportunity to be great.\nIt is crucial to our recovery and growth as a nation to not only commemorate, but also recognize and celebrate the good that can come from a tragedy.",

However, there are food and drinks that are sold in stores that appear to be healthy when they are really laden with chemicals and preservatives that are harmful. Because of this, it is important to know which of them are good for you and which ones are not.\nAlways look for produce that is labeled as organic. It is grown without any pesticides or herbicides that can cause health problems. If organic produce isn\u2019t available in your area, then you can wash it and peel it instead. Most of the chemical residue is only on the peelings, so removing them helps to reduce the amount of it that could get into the body.\nCheese, yogurt, and other dairy products are important for building strong bones, but the residual hormones that are in the products can cause health problems. Cows are given hormone injections to increase their milk supply and the fat on their bodies. And the hormones get passed on in their milk. Choosing products that are labeled \u201chormone free\u201d is a better option.\nMost stores carry several types of water that is supposedly shipped from all over the world. However, they are no more helpful to the body than plain old tap water from the faucet. Just be sure to filter the tap water with a charcoal water filter to remove any chlorine that is in it.\nCorn syrup and other types of sugar are hidden in a wide variety of food products, especially snack foods. Some companies also claim that their sources of sugar are \u201cnatural\u201d to trick consumers into thinking that the product is healthy when it isn\u2019t. That is why it is important to always read the labels of a product before you buy it. Choose only those that contain no added sugar at all.\nBy taking the time to look for better quality food items, you and your family can avoid harmful ingredients that can cause a wide variety of health problems. It helps to shop for groceries during times of the day when the stores are less crowded, such as early in the morning. Also, try to involve kids in the food shopping process if they come along. It will teach them more about nutrition, so they can learn to make better food choices for themselves as they get older.\nbodychemicalgrowsupply\nFull Cleanse: 4 Unique Ways To Detox Your Body\nCollege students not only experience mental and emotional changes, but also unexpected challenges and threats to\u2026\nMinimize Stress When Traveling with These Essential Travel Apps\nTips for Buying the Perfect Sleeping Mattress for a Healthy Rest\nWeightlifting Exercises and Steroids: The Perfect Combination for\u2026\nCan Teeth Whitening Really Damage Your Teeth?\nHow Your Health Care is Affected When You are on Workers\u2019 Comp",

Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in these R&D Terms shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Gusto Terms. The R&D Agreement is a legally binding agreement between User and Gusto. User is encouraged to read the R&D Agreement carefully and to save a copy of it for User\u2019s records. If User is agreeing to these R&D Terms on behalf of a business or an individual other than User, User represents and warrants that User has authority to bind that business or other individual to the R&D Agreement, and User\u2019s agreement to these terms will be treated as the agreement of such business or individual. In that event, \u201cUser\u201d (as defined in the Gusto Terms) also refers to that business or individual. By clicking the applicable button to indicate User\u2019s acceptance of the R&D Agreement or by accessing or using the R&D Service, User agrees, effective as of the date of such action, to be bound by the R&D Agreement.\n1. These R&D Terms Are Part of and Are Governed by the Gusto Terms and the Payroll Terms\nThe terms and conditions of the Gusto Terms and the Payroll Terms agreed to in connection with the creation of User\u2019s Account, including but not limited to all representations, warranties, covenants, disclaimers, limitations on liability, agreements, and indemnities relating to the Services, are incorporated herein by reference, and User acknowledges and agrees that the representations, warranties, covenants, disclaimers, limitations on liability, agreements, and indemnities contained in the Gusto Terms and the Payroll Terms shall remain in full force and effect to the full extent provided therein.\nIf the terms and conditions of these R&D Terms conflict with the terms and conditions of the Gusto Terms or the Payroll Terms, then the order of precedence with respect to which terms and conditions shall control shall be as follows: the terms and conditions of these R&D Terms shall control, followed by the terms and conditions of the Payroll Terms, followed by the terms and conditions of the Gusto Terms.\nTHE GUSTO TERMS, AVAILABLE AT WWW.GUSTO.COM/ABOUT/TERMS, CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING LIMITATIONS OF GUSTO\u2019S LIABILITY, GUSTO\u2019S WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS, USER\u2019S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS, USER\u2019S DUTY TO MITIGATE DAMAGES, THE LAW GOVERNING THE R&D AGREEMENT, AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURES THEREUNDER.\n2. Gusto\u2019s Provision of the R&D Service Is Governed by the R&D Agreement\nSubject to the terms and conditions of the R&D Agreement, Gusto agrees to use reasonable efforts to provide User with the R&D Service in accordance with the R&D Agreement.\nIn addition to the obligations specified in these R&D Terms, User has certain obligations under the Gusto Terms, including but not limited to obligations to (i) designate an Account Administrator; (ii) be responsible for actions taken under User\u2019s Account; (iii) follow instructions that Gusto provides to User with respect to the R&D Service; (iv) provide accurate, timely, and complete information required for Gusto to perform the R&D Service and maintain the accuracy and completeness of such information; (v) notify Gusto of third-party notices, such as Internal Revenue Service penalty notices, which could affect Gusto\u2019s ability to effectively provide the R&D Service or which could increase the likelihood that a Claim is brought against User or Gusto in connection with the R&D Service; and (vi) refrain from taking certain prohibited actions, as described in further detail in Section 8 (User Is Responsible for Certain Information and Obligations Relating to the Services) and Section 13 (General Prohibitions) of the Gusto Terms.\n4. Eligibility and Enrollment Requirements for the R&D Service\nOnly small businesses that qualify for the federal research and development tax credit (the \u201cFederal R&D Tax Credit\u201d) are eligible for the R&D Service. Eligibility requirements for the Federal R&D Tax Credit are established by the Internal Revenue Service (\u201cIRS\u201d), and more information about the Federal R&D Tax Credit, including the IRS eligibility rules for the Federal R&D Tax Credit (the \u201cIRS Rules\u201d), can be found on the IRS website. Before enrolling a company (the \u201cCompany\u201d) in the R&D Service, User should consult with an accountant to determine whether such Company is qualified for the Federal R&D Tax Credit, and User may only enroll such Company in the R&D Service if the Company is eligible for the Federal R&D Tax Credit under the IRS Rules (a \u201cQualified Business\u201d).\nBy enrolling a Company in the R&D Service, User is representing and warranting to Gusto that (i) such Company is a Qualified Business; and (ii) such Company has authorized User to enroll the Company in the R&D Service and to provide Gusto with any authorizations necessary for Gusto to provide the R&D Service. If User is an accountant for the Company (each, a \u201cCompany Accountant\u201d), then User represents and warrants to Gusto that the Company has authorized User to calculate the amount of Federal R&D Tax Credit available to the Company and to perform other actions related to the R&D Tax Credit for the Company.\n5. Acknowledgment of Certain Federal R&D Tax Credit Rules\nSo long as the Company is a Qualified Business, User understands and acknowledges that (i) the Federal R&D Tax Credit can be applied against the Company\u2019s employer Social Security taxes; (ii) there is a maximum on how much the Company can claim under the Federal R&D Tax Credit per business tax year; (iii) the Federal R&D Tax Credit can be carried forward to future business tax years until such Federal R&D Tax Credit is fully applied; and (iv) since the Federal R&D Tax Credit is taken against the Company\u2019s employer Social Security taxes, the amount that the Company receives as a refund from the IRS for the Federal R&D Tax Credit, or the amount reduced from the employer Social Security taxes owed, cannot exceed the amount of employer Social Security taxes that the Company owes.\n6. Gusto has No Liability for Provided Information\nGusto is not responsible or liable for determining how much Federal R&D Tax Credit the Company is eligible to claim in a given business tax year (the \u201cAvailable Credit\u201d). Determining the amount of Available Credit is solely the responsibility of User and any Company Accountants. For any business tax year that the Company would like to claim the Federal R&D Tax Credit, User or a Company Accountant must provide Gusto with the necessary information for Gusto to perform the R&D Service, including but not limited to the amount of Available Credit for such business tax year (the \u201cProvided Information\u201d). User and any Company Accountants are solely responsible for the accuracy, timeliness, and completeness of such Provided Information and for maintaining the accuracy and completeness of such Provided Information. Gusto will rely on the Available Credit information and other Provided Information furnished by User and Company Accountants. Gusto is not responsible or liable for any consequences or Claims, including but not limited to any Resulting Errors, arising from reliance on the Provided Information.\n7. Obligation to Notify Gusto of Changes to Information\nUser must promptly notify Gusto of any changes to the Provided Information. In particular, User must promptly notify Gusto if (i) the Company has changed the employer identification number that any remaining Available Credit should apply to; (ii) the Company has used any portion of its Available Credit against its business income taxes; or (iii) the amount of the Company\u2019s remaining Available Credit has changed for any reason other than Gusto\u2019s application of the remaining Available Credit to the Company\u2019s employer Social Security taxes in accordance with the R&D Service. Gusto is not responsible or liable for any consequences or Claims, including but not limited to any Resulting Errors, arising from User\u2019s failure to notify Gusto of any changes to the Provided Information.\n8. R&D Service Descriptions\nGusto offers two versions of the R&D Service: the Post-Quarter Refund version and the Real Time R&D Tax Credit version.\nPost-Quarter Refund\nGusto currently offers the Post-Quarter Refund version of the R&D Service (the \u201cPost-Quarter Refund Service\u201d) for no additional fee, but Gusto reserves the right to begin charging an additional fee for the Post-Quarter Refund Service at any time in the future, at its sole discretion. If Gusto begins charging an additional fee for the Post-Quarter Refund Service, then Gusto shall provide User with prior notice of the fee change, in accordance with Section 2 (Service Fees and Charges) of the Gusto Terms.\nIf User is enrolling the Company in the Post-Quarter Refund Service, User authorizes (and represents and warrants to Gusto that it has the authority to authorize) Gusto to make the applicable quarterly tax filings to claim the Federal R&D Tax Credit on the Company\u2019s behalf for each business tax year in which the Company claims the Federal R&D Tax Credit. The Company will typically receive an IRS refund for the applicable portion of the remaining Available Credit approximately 6 to 8 weeks after each quarter\u2019s applicable tax returns for the Federal R&D Tax Credit have been filed. Gusto cannot guarantee that the Company will receive its refunds from the IRS for the Federal R&D Tax Credit within this timeframe, or at all.\nSo long as (i) the Company is enrolled in the Post-Quarter Refund Service; (ii) Gusto is provided with the necessary information to provide the R&D Service; (iii) User is in compliance with the R&D Agreement; and (iv) the Company has any Available Credit to be applied to the Company\u2019s employer Social Security taxes, Gusto will file, and User authorizes Gusto to file, the applicable quarterly tax filings on behalf of the Company to claim the Company\u2019s remaining Available Credit. If the Company\u2019s Available Credit is fully applied at any point in time, User or a Company Accountant can still submit future Available Credit information to Gusto via the Post-Quarter Refund Service so that Gusto can file the applicable quarterly tax filings pursuant to the R&D Agreement. User may cancel the Post-Quarter Refund Service at any time, either through terminating the R&D Service entirely or by upgrading to the Real Time R&D Tax Credit Service (as defined below).\nReal Time R&D Tax Credit\nGusto currently offers the Real Time R&D Tax Credit version of the R&D Service for an additional monthly fee (the \u201cReal Time R&D Tax Credit Service\u201d). If User is enrolling the Company in the Real Time R&D Tax Credit Service, User authorizes (and represents and warrants to Gusto that it has the authority to authorize) Gusto to (i) reduce the Company\u2019s employer Social Security taxes for each payroll run on Gusto by a portion of the remaining Available Credit, if any (each, a \u201cPayroll Reduction\u201d); and (ii) charge the Company the additional monthly fee for the Real Time R&D Tax Credit Service pursuant to Section 2 (Service Fees and Charges) of the Gusto Terms for the calendar months in which Gusto applies any Payroll Reduction (collectively, the \u201cAuthorized Real Time R&D Actions\u201d).\nSo long as (i) the Company is enrolled in the Real Time R&D Tax Credit Service; (ii) Gusto is provided with the necessary information to provide the R&D Service; (iii) User is in compliance with the R&D Agreement; and (iv) the Company has any Available Credit to be applied to the Company\u2019s employer Social Security taxes, Gusto will take, and User authorizes Gusto to take, the Authorized Real Time R&D Actions. If the Company\u2019s Available Credit is fully applied at any point in time, User or a Company Accountant can still submit future Available Credit information to Gusto via the Real Time R&D Tax Credit Service so that Gusto can take the Authorized Real Time R&D Actions pursuant to the R&D Agreement. User may cancel the Real Time R&D Tax Credit Service at any time, provided that if a Payroll Reduction has been applied to any payroll run in the calendar month that User cancels the Real Time R&D Tax Credit Service, then Gusto will charge the Company the monthly additional fee for the Real Time R&D Tax Credit Service for such calendar month.",

        "raw_content": "Our next stop was Cotonou, Benin. Wedged between Togo and Nigeria, it has one of the largest ports in West Africa. Cotonou itself is like being back in Lome, Togo. There were still the outdoor businesses along the sidewalks, the motor scooters are family cars, and the messy, grimy piles of refuse are apparent, but it is marginally more sophisticated.\nFor me the highlight here was our visit to the Ganvie village on stilts. A large community of approximately 30,000 people who live in houses built up on rickety stilts above the water on Lake Nokoue. It was originally created to keep the Tofinu people safe from the slave hunters. Their only means of transportation are the dug out canoes of varying shapes and sizes and the water \u201ctaxis\u201d which are larger and have motors.\nThe homes and living conditions are primitive. Toilet and washing facilities are lacking. For the most part they just \u201cgo\u201d in the water and they also bathe themselves in that water which is not looking very clean to begin with. They warned us not to trail our hands in the water! They have to get fresh water from central pipes located here and there throughout the village. They carry the water back to their homes in large open plastic containers in their canoes. The homes are built mostly from wood and corrugated tin. Entrepreneurism is alive and well, and you see women selling all manner of goods, from fruit and vegetables to clothing from their canoes.\nCollecting water from central pipe\nFor the most part, I saw only women or children paddling their canoes in and around the houses. Really young children at times. The men fish from their canoes, gathering their large nets which are round and weighted all around the edges. They throw them out into the water and slowly drag them back. However, I only saw one man with a fish in his net the whole time we were out there.\nFisherman casting his net\nThey do not want their pictures taken and could be quite vocal and angry if someone pointed a camera at them. I think I would not want to know what they were saying when they were shouting at us. But you have to respect their pride and I tried to take photos when they were not aware, or that did not show their faces. Some women wear huge hats that serve to hide their faces from the \u201ctourists\u2019, but also shade them and the baby you see so many women carrying on their backs or sitting in their laps. They took us to one solid structure where they sold souvenirs \u2013 carvings, batik, paintings, jewellery and beer. The school and a large mosque were the only other solid structures I saw out there on the lake.\nHuge mosque behind village homes\nThe children were delightful and didn\u2019t seem to mind being photographed \u2013 with or without clothing. They all waved and smiled and called out to us. Someone in our large motor driven canoe-type boat, said they were saying \u201clook white man\u201d but I am not sure about that.\nIt must have been Monday :-)) because washing was hanging everywhere. They cook over open fires and sometimes even in their canoes.\nThey have their own schools out there, and we saw school children returning home, in canoes, and they all wore uniforms which were clean and pressed. I was impressed. The uniforms must be \u201cno-iron\u201d, because I did not see any evidence of electricity.\nOne of their schools\nThe language in Benin is French. Also, Benin is the birthplace of Vodun (Voodoo) and all that goes with it. To this day Vodun remains the official religion of the country, and an important part of the life of ordinary Beninese, even though they may practice another religion. Hence the mosque and the red and white striped Cath\u00e9drdale Notre Dame de Mis\u00e9ricorde on the mainland. (pictured below). I am so thrilled to be able to see and learn about the culture and diversity of life all around the world and realize that I am truly blessed to be having this unique experience.\nPrevious: Previous post: PHOTO ESSAY \u2013 LOME, TOGO\nNext: Next post: CAPE TOWN\n6 thoughts on \u201cCotonou, Benin\u201d\n\u2026and we, your loyal followers, are truly privileged to be \u201csharing\u201d your unique and extraordinary experience.

        "raw_content": "All sessions and meetings in Room 613/614, Washington State Convention Center.\nHAD I Special: The Astronomical Contributions of the Herschel Family\nSunday, 9 Jan 2011, 12:30\u20133:40 p.m.\nDescription: This session will investigate the many major contributions to astronomy made by the family of William Herschel, his sister Caroline, and his son John over the period 1780-1850. Many historians have rated William as one of the handful of greatest observers of all time, but he was also revolutionary in how he interpreted his observations of the solar system, binary stars, stellar clusters, and nebulae. For example, he discovered the planet Uranus, invented the whole notion of evolution (\u201cmaturation\u201d) of nebulae and clusters from one type to another, made the first quantitative map of the Milky Way as part of his \u201cconstruction of the heavens,\u201d and first detected infrared radiation. And on top of all that, he advanced the technology of reflecting telescopes far beyond that of his peers. His sister Caroline was vital for almost all of William\u2019s observational work, data reduction, and catalog compilation. On her own she also discovered many comets and won one of the earliest Gold Medals of the Royal Astronomical Society. Finally, William\u2019s son John extended his father\u2019s sky survey to the Southern Hemisphere and developed the mathematics for turning observational data into binary star orbits.\n12:30 1. The Herschels: A Very Fashionable Scientific Family\nEmily Winterburn, University College, London.\nWhat is special about the Herschel family? It is a family that has attracted the attention of historians of science for many years and has done so for a number of reasons. Some simply marvel at the family\u2019s ability to have produced generations upon generation of great men and women of science. Others have highlighted the work of individuals within the family and how their work changed the way astronomy was done, what it was about, and then later did the same for science as a whole. The unusually high status enjoyed by Herschel women, Caroline Herschel in particular, has not escaped notice, though I will here question some of the conclusions drawn about her motivations. Most of all, however, I will argue in this paper they should be interesting to a modern audience for the way in which they managed, time and again, generation on generation, to make science fashionable and popular. In this paper I will look at three generations of this family\u2014from William and Caroline discovering comets and planets in the late eighteenth century, through John and his claim that society needs science to be properly civilised, to John and Margaret\u2019s children and their varied takes on the relationship between astronomy, science and the public. I will look at the role astronomy played in each of their lives, how they were taught and taught each other and how in each generation they managed to make their work the talk of the town.\n1:15 2. The Herschels and the Nebulae\nRobert W. Smith, University of Alberta.\nAn innovative observer, theorist and telescope builder, William Herschel is now generally recognized as one of the greatest astronomers of all time. In this paper I will argue that to set Herschel\u2019s career correctly into context it is essential to see him in addition as a natural philosopher (as the term \"natural philosopher\" was understood around 1800). In examining Herschel as a natural philosopher, I will focus on his shifting views on the nature of the nebulae, views I will also contrast and compare with those of his son John Herschel.\n1:40 3. Herschel's 20-foot telescope at the Smithsonian\nThe tube and one of the mirrors from the original Herschel 20-foot telescope have been on display at the National Air and Space Museum since September 12, 2001. Approximately 3,000 visitors walk past them each day, inspecting how William and Caroline jointly operated the telescope in their garden. This presentation will recount how the telescope was brought to NASM and prepared for exhibition. I will also discuss a bit of what we\u2019ve learned about the telescope\u2019s history from developing this display.\n2:10 4. William Herschel\u2019s Explorations of the Conditions for Extraterrestrial Life\nMarvin Bolt, Adler Planetarium.\nWilliam Herschel\u2019s notion of life on the sun has been described as one of his stranger ideas. A more careful look, though, supports his declaration to have founded his view \u201cupon astronomical principles\u201d (broadly construed) as opposed to resembling the musings of \u201cfanciful poets.\u201d In particular, we\u2019ll explore how contemporary concepts of geology and heat informed William\u2019s defense of solarians, and see how a few of John Herschel\u2019s methodological comments provide insight into William\u2019s reasoning.\n2:35 5. Planetary Observations by William Herschel\nWilliam Herschel was a constant observer of the planets and \u223c40% of his publications are concerned with every known object in the solar system; yet historians have paid little attention to this aspect of his career. In this paper I will summarize his major solar system findings (including the moon and sun) and, for a few key cases, discuss his observational techniques and interpretations. I will also argue for significant connections between Herschel's planetary and solar work and his more familiar work on the sidereal universe.\n3:00 6. Who Invented the Word \u201casteroid\u201d: William Herschel or Stephen Weston?\nClifford J. Cunningham, Brian G. Marsden, & Wayne Orchiston, James Cook University, Australia.\nWilliam Herschel made the first serious study of 1 Ceres and 2 Pallas in the year 1802. He was moved by their dissimilarities to the other planets to coin a new term to distinguish them. For this purpose he enlisted the aid of his good friends William Watson and Sir Joseph Banks. Watson gave him a long list of possible names, most of which sound quite ludicrous. With a lifetime of experience classifying and naming newly found objects in nature, Banks became the man both Erasmus Darwin (in 1781) and William Herschel (in 1802) turned to for sage advice in developing a new descriptive language. In the case of Ceres and Pallas, Banks turned the task over to his friend, the noted philologist Stephen Weston FRS. It has recently been stated by a noted British historian that it was Weston\u2014not Herschel\u2014who coined the term \u201casteroid\u201d to collectively describe Ceres and Pallas. This claim is investigated, and parallels are drawn in the use of neologisms in astronomy and botany.\n3:15 7. John Herschel\u2019s Graphical Method\nThomas L. Hankins, University of Washington.\nIn 1833 John Herschel published an account of his graphical method for determining the orbits of double stars. He had hoped to be the first to determine such orbits, but Felix Savary in France and Johann Franz Encke in Germany beat him to the punch using analytical methods. Herschel was convinced, however, that his graphical method was much superior to analytical methods, because it used the judgment of the hand and eye to correct the inevitable errors of observation.Line graphs of the kind used by Herschel became common only in the 1830s, so Herschel was introducing a new method. He also found computation fatiguing and devised a \u201cwheeled machine\u201d to help him out. Encke was skeptical of Herschel\u2019s methods, saying that he (Encke) lived for calculation and that the English would be better astronomers if they calculated more. It is difficult to believe that the entire Scientific Revolution of the 17th century took place without graphs and that only a few examples appeared in the 18th century. Herschel promoted the use of graphs, not only in astronomy, but also in the study of meteorology and terrestrial magnetism. Because he was the most prominent scientist in England, Herschel\u2019s advocacy greatly promoted graphical methods.\nHAD II Special: Neptune after One Orbit: Reflections on the Discovery of a Planet\nSunday, 9 Jan 2011, 4:00\u20136:00 p.m.\nSession Chair: William Sheehan, Independent Scholar.\nDescription: The year 2011 marks not only the 200th anniversary of the French mathematical astronomer Urbain Le Verrier\u2019's birth, but also the first return of Neptune to its optical-discovery position in 1846. Despite the passage of more than 164 years since that planet discovery, the circumstances surrounding the near-simultaneous mathematical predictions of a transuranian disturbing planet made by Le Verrier and John Couch Adams, a young Fellow in St. John\u2019s College at the University of Cambridge, and the subsequent optical discovery of Neptune by German astronomer Johann Gottfried Galle at the Berlin Observatory continue to remain controversial. The double anniversary occurring in 2011 is an appropriate time to examine the Neptune discovery event from a number of new perspectives. In this session we shall explore how Cornwall shaped Adams\u2019 early education and his method of locating the presence of a hypothetical disturbing planet. We shall examine the possibility that Adams (and perhaps Le Verrier as well) may have had Asperger\u2019s Syndrome (high-functioning autism), a condition that may explain their difficulties in communicating and interacting with their contemporaries. The intense French press attack on British astronomers immediately after the discovery is examined in detail for the first time. The role that Benjamin Peirce\u2019s analysis of Neptune\u2019s actual orbit (which differed greatly from those hypothesized by Adams and Le Verrier) played in the development and European perception of American astronomy and mathematics will be discussed. We open and close the session with presentations placing the Neptune discovery event within the context of 19th-century science and relating it to modern-day searches for planets in the outskirts of the solar system and around other stars.\n4:00 1. The Discovery of Neptune: Why it Mattered in 1846 and Why it Still Matters\nThe discovery of Neptune is one of the most well-known events in the history of nineteenth century astronomy as well as one of the most analyzed. Given the ferocious battle for priority that the optical discovery provoked, it is not surprising that much of the literature on the discovery has focused narrowly on issues around the appropriate amount of credit to be handed out to the main protagonists for the theoretical and optical discoveries of the planet. In this paper I will instead seek to put the discovery of Neptune and the events surrounding it into the broad context of mid-nineteenth century science to explain why it was seen to matter so much at the time and why it still matters today.\n4:20 2. The Life and Times of John Couch Adams from 1819 to 1847\nBrian Sheen, Roseland Observatory, Cornwall, England.\nJohn Couch Adams was born in 1819 in the middle of Cornwall, the most remote and isolated county in England. How he progressed from there to Cambridge University to become one of the finest mathematicians of the nineteenth century fills everyone who studies him with awe. Tragically what should have been his greatest triumph\u2014the discovery of a new planet\u2014was marred by mishap, controversy and unanswered questions. This presentation examines one of the first of these questions and provides new answers based on recently revealed evidence. The Astronomer Royal of the day was attempting to support Adams and as part of that support asked if his analysis took into account changes in radius vector of Uranus. Adams did not reply and the rest as they say is history. However, there is far more to the question than a non-existent letter\u2014this in itself turns out to be not exactly true. Further analysis of the orbits and a letter in French, not translated before, reveal Adams had a more profound understanding of the situation than some later authors have given him credit for.\n4:40 3. Le Verrier, Adams, and the Apportionment of Credit\nAs one of the most significant achievements of 19th century astronomy, the discovery of Neptune has been the subject of a vast literature. A large part of this literature\u2014beginning with the period immediately after the optical discovery in Berlin\u2014has been the obsession with assigning credit to the two men who attempted to calculate the planet\u2019s position (and initially this played out against the international rivalry between France and England). Le Verrier and Adams occupied much different positions in the Scientific Establishments of their respective countries; had markedly different personalities; and approached the investigation using different methods. A psychiatrist and historian of astronomy tries to provide some new contexts to the familiar story of the discovery of Neptune, and argues that the personalities of these two men played crucial roles in their approaches to the problem they set themselves and the way others reacted to their stimuli. Adams had features of high-functioning autism, while Le Verrier's domineering, obsessive, orderly personality\u2014though it allowed him to be immensely productive\u2014eventually led to serious difficulties with his peers (and an outright revolt). Though it took extraordinary smarts to calculate the position of Neptune, the discovery required social skills that these men lacked\u2014and thus the process to discovery was more bumbling and adventitious than it might have been. The discovery of Neptune occurred at a moment when astronomy was changing from that of heroic individuals to team collaborations involving multiple experts, and remains an object lesson in the sociological aspects of scientific endeavor.\n5:00 4. \u201cThese Frenchmen Fly at One like Wild Cats\u201d: The French Press Attacks on British Claims for a Role in the Discovery of Neptune\nPaper withdrawn.\n5:00 5. The Neptune Affair: American Mathematicians Find the World Stage\nDeborah A. Kent, Hillsdale College.\nThe sensational news of Neptune\u2019s observation reached the United States about a month after the initial sighting at the Berlin observatory on 23 September 1846. The ensuing dispute over the priority of discovery captured both popular interest and scientific attention in America. A handful of ambitious scientists viewed the Neptune affair as an opportunity to establish the legitimacy of American science, especially in response to the perceived superiority of European science. This talk will focus on the role of Harvard mathematician Benjamin Peirce in questioning the mathematical particulars of the discovery and shaping related rhetoric to advance the professionalization of American science.\n5:20 6. A Clear Yet Distant Echo: Modern-day Analogues of the Scientific Interest and Controversies Surrounding the Discovery of Neptune\nGreg Laughlin, University of California, Santa Cruz & Mike Brown, California Institute of Technology.\nOur understanding of the solar system and the physical Universe has progressed almost immeasurably during the 164.79 years that constitute an orbit of Neptune. Nevertheless, the drama surrounding the discovery of Neptune still resonates with an immediacy that is both completely relevant and entirely up to date. In this talk, we will argue that the central themes surrounding Neptune's discovery (including issues of priority, improvements in observational and theoretical technique, and the nature of what constitutes an acceptably specific scientific prediction) all have readily evident analogues in the planet-hunting and solar system discovery efforts that are being carried out today. To support our arguments, we will make specific connections to (1) the ongoing effort to map and characterize the solar system's trans-Neptunian inventory, and (2) the search for extrasolar planets orbiting nearby stars.\nSession #146: Monday, 10 Jan 2010, 9:20 a.m.\u20136:30 p.m.\n1. Al-Sufi\u2019s Investigation of Stars, Star Clusters and Nebulae\nIhsan Hafez, F. Richard Stephenson, & Wayne Orchiston, James Cook University, Australia.\nThe distinguished Arabic astronomer, Al-Sufi (AD 903-986) is justly famous for his Book of the Fixed Stars, an outstanding Medieval treatise on astronomy that was assembled in 964. Developed from Ptolemy\u2019s Algamest, but based upon al-Sufi\u2019s own stellar observations, the Book of the Fixed Stars has been copied down through the ages, and currently 35 copies are known to exist in various archival repositories around the world. Among other things, this major work contains 55 astronomical tables, plus star charts for 48 constellations. For the first time a long-overdue English translation of this important early work is in active preparation. In this paper we provide biographical material about Al-Sufi and the contents of his Book of the Fixed Stars, before examining his novel stellar magnitude system, and his listing of star clusters and nebulae (including the first-ever mention of the Great Nebula in Andromeda).\n2. Kepler\u2019s \u201cWar on Mars\u201d\nWilliam Dorsey, Wayne Orchiston, & F. Richard Stephenson, James Cook University, Australia.\nThis paper presents an interpretation of how Johannes Kepler changed the study of astronomy. We propose that in his metaphorical \u201cWar on Mars\u201d, the Astronomia Nova, Kepler used a revolutionary rhetoric to bring about the usurpation of seventeenth-century astronomy. We discuss how Kepler approached the well-established conceptual framework within which the hypotheses of Ptolemy, Copernicus and Tycho Brahe functioned, and how he sought comprehensive physical principles that could determine the true cause and form of the known Universe. We examine Kepler's need to redefine reality and his use of rhetoric in shaping his astronomical argument for a new astronomy, and we show that his three new 'laws' represent a fusion of physics and geometry based upon astronomical observations. We suggest that although Kepler may have believed in and defended some Copernican ideas, his innovative Astronomia Nova opened up a whole new vista for international astronomy.\n3. The First Three Catalogues of Southern Star Clusters and Nebulae\nGlen Cozens, Wayne Orchiston, & Andrew Walsh, James Cook University, Australia.\nNicolas de la Caille, James Dunlop and John Herschel compiled the first three catalogues of southern star clusters and nebulae. Lacaille catalogued 42 objects from Cape Town, South Africa, in 1751 and 1752. Dunlop catalogued 629 objects from Parramatta, Australia, in 1826 and Herschel catalogued 1708 objects between 1834 and 1838 from Cape Town. Many of these objects had not been seen before; In this paper we discuss the new discoveries and the accuracy of the positions supplied by Lacaille, Dunlop and Herschel. Half of Dunlop\u2019s 629 objects turned out to be asterisms and faint double stars.\n4. Early Scientific Astronomy on the American Northwest Coast: Captain Cook\u2019s Sojourn at Nootka Sound in 1778\nWilliam Wells, Independent Scholar, & Wayne Orchiston, James Cook University, Australia.\n>Between 1768 and 1778 England\u2019s premier maritime explorer, James Cook, made three much-published and very successful expeditions to the Pacific, when important contributions were made to anthropology, botany and zoology, not to mention maritime astronomy. Astronomy played a vital role in navigation and coastal cartography, and consequently there were astronomers on all three Pacific expeditions. On the final voyage Cook would lose his life in Hawaii, but not before exploring the northwest coast of the American continent. Three astronomers, Bayly, King and Cook himself, formed part of retinue of this two-vessel expedition, and during the sojourn of the Resolution and Discovery at Nootka Sound they set up their observatories and used a variety of instruments to carry out important astronomical observations. In this paper we review the rationale for Cook\u2019s third voyage, discuss the Nootka Sound stop-over, provide biographical information about Bayly, Cook and King, examine their scientific instruments and review their astronomical observations.\n5. Williamstown Observatory and the Development of Professional Astronomy in Australia\nJenny Andropoulos, Wayne Orchiston, & Barry Clark, James Cook University, Australia.\nDuring the early 1850s the colony of Victoria was enjoying a succession of gold rushes, and as the population of the fledgling settlement of Melbourne rapidly grew, an urgent need arose for an accurate local time service. Thus, Williamstown Observatory was founded at the port of Williamstown in 1853. Under the dynamic direction of Robert Ellery, the Williamstown Observatory quickly added meteorological and tidal observations, geodetic surveying and non-meridian astronomical observations to its portfolio, and by the time it closed in 1863 it had already played a key role in the early development of professional astronomy in Australia. Ellery went on to direct Melbourne Observatory \u2014 Williamstown's successor \u2014 ;and in the process build an international reputation in astronomy, meteorology and scientific entrepreneurship. In this paper we will discuss the founding and chequered history of the Williamstown Observatory, its scientific instruments and the ways in which they were used to contribute to Australian and international astronomy.\n6. The USNO 26\" Clark Refractor\u2014from Visual Observations to Speckle Interferometry\nJennifer L. Bartlett, Brian D. Mason, & William I. Hartkopf, US Naval Observatory.\nBefore addressing queries about how and what to preserve among astronomical devices, the question of what constitutes a historic instrument must be considered. Certainly, the lenses are the defining feature of a Clark refractor. Since 1867, when Newcomb inquired about the possibility of obtaining a great glass from Alvan Clark & Sons, the U.S. Naval Observatory 26-in (66-cm) equatorial has evolved in response to improvements in technology and changes in its observing program. After two major overhauls, only the objective remains of the equipment originally installed by the Clarks in 1873 at the old Observatory site in Foggy Bottom. However, the telescope retains its reputation as a historic Clark refractor.\nThe USNO telescope was briefly renowned as the largest refractor in the world; the second of five such achievements by the Clarks. Through it, Hall first detected the moons of Mars in 1877. However, by that time, the Clarks had already refigured the flint glass. Hall and Gardiner had also altered the drive mechanism.\nWhen the USNO moved to its present Georgetown Heights location in 1893, the great equatorial was refurbished with its original Clark optics installed on a more robust Warner & Swasey mount. Peters eventually incorporated discarded parts from the original mounting into his photographic telescopes during the first half of the 20th century. The 26\" refractor underwent further modernization in the early 1960s to facilitate the xy-slide of a Hertzsprung-style photographic double star camera. In 1965, the objective was disassembled for cleaning and reassembled with new spacers. The most recent maintenance included re-wiring and replacing several motors and the hand paddles.\nOriginally designed as a visual instrument, the USNO 26\" Clark refractor now hosts a speckle interferometer for its current double star program. Despite continuing modifications, this telescope remains a fine example of the optician\u2019s art.\n7. The 1882 Transit of Venus and the Popularisation of Astronomy through the Pages of the New York Times\nStella Cottam, Wayne Orchiston, & F. Richard Stephenson, James Cook University, Australia.\nAfter the disappointments of the 1761 and 1769 transits of Venus, the nineteenth century pair, in 1874 and 1882, offered astronomers the next opportunity to use these rare events in a bid to pin down a value for the solar parallax and hence that fundamental yardstick of Solar System astronomy, the astronomical unit. Only the 1882 transit was visible from the USA, and on the fateful day amateur and professional observers were scattered across the nation. While the value for the solar parallax derived from their combined observations was a significant improvement on the range of values obtained in the eighteenth century, there was considerable disquiet about the logic of using transits of Venus in this way when alternative approaches were available. In this paper we discuss some of the observers who observed the 1882 transit from American soil, summarise the scientific results from the overall American endeavour and examine ways in which reports on the transit in the pages of the New York Times helped generate a heightened public awareness of astronomy.\n8. The IAU Early French Radio Astronomy Project\nWayne Orchiston, James Cook University, Australia, & Andr\u00e9 Boischot, J. Delannoy, Mukul Kundu, James Lequeux, Monique Pick, & Jean-Louis Steinberg, Paris Observatory, France.\nIn 2006 an ambitious project was launched under the auspices of the IAU Working Group on Historic Radio Astronomy to document important developments in French radio astronomy from 1901 through to the 1960s, in a series of papers published, in English, in the Journal of Astronomical History and Heritage. This successful project has now come to an end with the sixth and final paper in the series about to be published (and a new WG project, on the history of early Japanese radio astronomy, has just been launched). In this paper we discuss Nordmann\u2019s abortive attempt to detect solar radio emission in 1901, and the important roles played by staff from the \u00c9cole Normale Sup\u00e9rieure and the Institut d\u2019Astrophysique in Paris during the 1940s through '60s in developing new radio astronomy instrumentation and pursuing a range of solar and non-solar research projects in Paris itself and at field stations established at Marcoussis, Nan\u00e7ay and the Haute Provence Observatory.\n9. Van Vleck Observatory and the Role of the Large Refractor in Parallax Studies\nIan Glass, John Gries\u00e9, III, & Wayne Orchiston, James Cook University, Australia.\nThe second half of the nineteenth century was the era par excellence of the \u2018large refractor\u2019 as the aperture of the world\u2019s largest refractor quickly rose to 40 inches, thanks in no small part to the critical role played by the firm of Alvan Clark & Sons. One of the research projects these long focal length telescopes were especially suited to was the determination of stellar parallaxes, and this research focus continued into the twentieth century. In 1922 a 20-inch f/16.5 Clark refractor was installed at the Van Vleck Observatory at Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut, and this telescope was used to determine stellar parallaxes that were subsequently published by van Altena, Lee, and Hoffleit in The General Catalogue of Trigonometric Stellar Parallaxes, Fourth Edition (1995). After providing background information on refractor construction and parallax studies during the nineteenth century this paper focuses on the Van Vleck Observatory parallax program, which continued through into the 1990s, by which time HIPPARCHOS had been launched.\n10. The Contribution of an Experimental WWII Radar Antenna to Australian Radio Astronomy\nWayne Orchiston & Harry Wendt, James Cook University, Australia.\nDuring the late 1940s and throughout the1950s Australia was one of the world\u2019s foremost astronomical nations owing primarily to the dynamic Radio Astronomy Group within the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Organisation\u2019s Division of Radiophysics. The earliest celestial observations were made with former WWII radar antennas and simpler Yagi aerials, before more sophisticated purpose-built radio telescopes of various types were designed and developed. One of the recycled WWII antennas that was used extensively for pioneering radio astronomical research was an experimental radar antenna that initially was located at the Division\u2019s short-lived Georges Heights field station but in 1948 was relocated to the new Potts Hill field station in suburban Sydney. In this paper we describe this unique antenna, and discuss the wide-ranging solar, Galactic and extragalactic research programs that it was used for.\n11. History of Astronomy at James Cook University, Australia\nWayne Orchiston, Hilmar Duerbeck, Ian Glass, J. McKim Malville, Brian Marsden, Irakli Simonia, Bruce Slee, F. Richard Stephenson, Richard Strom, Ian Whittingham, & & Richard Wielebinski, James Cook University, Australia.\nThe Centre for Astronomy at James Cook University (JCU) in Australia has been offering totally internet-delivered Master of Astronomy degrees since 2003 and Doctor of Astronomy and Ph.D. degrees since 2004. In 2005 a new dimension was added with unique offerings in the history of astronomy at both Masters and Doctoral levels. With the aid of 1 full-time staff member and 10 adjunct staff, 4 students have now graduated with Ph.D. degrees, 1 student died from cancer after completing the first draft of his thesis, and 14 students are currently enrolled in Ph.D. degrees. In addition 12 students have completed Master of Astronomy degrees in history of astronomy, and there are 3 students who are currently enrolled for Masters degrees. As part of its commitment to the international development of history of astronomy, the Centre for Astronomy also arranges boutique \u2018invitation only\u2019 history of astronomy conferences in March each year, and produces the Journal of Astronomical History and Heritage.\n12. Filling a Void: The Life and Times of the Journal of Astronomical History and Heritage\nWayne Orchiston & Hilmar W. Duerbeck, James Cook University, Australia, & Joseph S. Tenn, Sonoma State University.\nIn 1998 the Journal of Astronomical History and Heritage (JAH2) was launched as a new outlet for those wishing to publish papers on the history of astronomy. The journal has since developed rapidly and become an important publication venue for those conducting research in all fields of historical astronomy, including aspects of Asian and Oriental astronomical history. With support from a distinguished international Editorial Board, the journal has grown from two issues per year to three, and now features increasing numbers of colour pages. In this paper we review the founding and development history of the journal, examine the range of research and review papers that have been published since 1998, and discuss some of the possible future directions that we are currently exploring.\nSession #111: Monday, 10 Jan 2011, 10:00\u201311:30 a.m.\n10:00 1. Report of Some Comets: The Discovery of Uranus and Comets by William, Caroline, and John Herschel\nJay M. Pasachoff, Williams College and Caltech, & Roberta J.M. Olson, New York Historical Society.\nWe report on the discovery and drawings of comets by William, Caroline, and John Herschel. The first discovery, by William Herschel, in 1781 from Bath, published in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society with the title \"Report of a Comet,\" turned out to be Uranus, the first planet ever discovered, Mercury through Saturn having been known since antiquity. William's sister Caroline was given duties of sweeping the skies and turned out to be a discoverer of 8 comets in her own right, in addition to keeping William's notes. Caroline's comets were discovered from Slough between 1786 and 1797. In the process, we also discuss original documents from the archives of the Royal Society and of the Royal Astronomical Society. We conclude by showing comet drawings that we have recently attributed to John Herschel, including Halley's Comet from 1836, recently located in the Ransom Center of the University of Texas at Austin.\nAcknowledgments: Planetary astronomy at Williams College is supported in part by grant NNX08AO50G from NASA Planetary Astronomy. We thank Peter Hingley of the Royal Astronomical Society and Richard Oram of the Harry Ransom Center of The University of Texas at Austin for their assistance.\n10:15 2. The Herschels in Canada\nR. Peter Broughton, Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, Canada.\nWilliam Herschel, the father of the astronomical dynasty, may possibly have lived in Canada. A couple of his descendants certainly did, and their lives and contributions to astronomy will be briefly discussed. Furthermore, some geographic features in Canada commemorate the Herschel name. Where these landmarks are and how they came to have this distinction will be described.\n10:30 3. King Charles\u2019 Star: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Dating the Supernova Known As Cassiopeia A\n10:45 4. The \u201cThree York Astronomers\u201d and the Royal Society of London\nJohn Goodricke, the discoverer of the periodicity of Algol and Delta Cephei; his mentor and collaborator Edward Pigott; and Edward\u2019s father Nathaniel Pigott flourished in York, England in the 1780\u2019s. All three made substantial contributions to astronomy. Nathaniel and Edward had determined the longitudes of the principal cities of the Low Countries before moving to York. Edward worked closely with Goodricke on the observations of Algol and discovered the variability of Eta Aquilae, a Cepheid, before Goodricke discovered Delta Cephei\u2019s behavior. All three corresponded with members of the Royal Society, including Nevil Maskelyne and William Herschel, yet the treatment accorded them differed widely. Nathaniel Pigott was elected a member of the Society in 1772. Goodricke received the Society\u2019s Copley Medal for his paper on the periodicity of Algol in 1783 at the age of nineteen. In 1786, after being nominated by Nathaniel Pigott, Goodricke was elected to membership in the Royal Society. Edward Pigott was apparently never nominated. Some possible reasons why Goodricke was lionized and Edward Pigott passed over will be explored.\nThis research was supported by an AAS Small Research Grant and by the Herbert C. Pollack Award of the Dudley Observatory.\n11:00 5. The Historical 'science driver': Early Telescopes And Scientific Incentive\nPeter Abrahams, Historical Astronomy Division.\nThe term 'science driver' was first used in the 1980s. The modern meaning of 'science' is far removed from its meaning in the first centuries of the telescope. It is anachronistic to refer to the 'science driver' of a historic telescope. However, there were scientific motivations behind many early telescopes, large reflectors in particular. The chronology of larger and improved telescopes will be placed in the context of the rationale for their creation. The evolution of scientific purpose of these instruments will be extracted and examined for patterns and significance.\n11:15 6. Blind Astronomers\nThe phrase \u201cblind astronomer\u201d is used as an allegorical oxymoron. However, there were and are blind astronomers. What of famous blind astronomers?\nFirst, it must be stated that these astronomers were not martyrs to their craft. It is a myth that astronomers blind themselves by observing the Sun. As early as France\u2019s William of Saint-Cloud (circa 1290) astronomers knew that staring at the Sun was ill-advised and avoided it. Galileo Galilei did not invent the astronomical telescope and then proceed to blind himself with one. Galileo observed the Sun near sunrise and sunset or through projection. More than two decades later he became blind, as many septuagenarians do, unrelated to their profession. Even Isaac Newton temporarily blinded himself, staring at the reflection of the Sun when he was a twentysomething. But permanent Sun-induced blindness? No, it did not happen.\nFor instance, it was a stroke that left Scotland\u2019s James Gregory (1638-1675) blind. (You will remember the Gregorian telescope.) However, he died days later. Thus, blindness little interfered with his occupation.\nEnglish Abbot Richard of Wallingford (circa 1291 - circa 1335) wrote astronomical works and designed astronomical instruments. He was also blind in one eye. Yet as he further suffered from leprosy, his blindness seems the lesser of Richard\u2019s maladies.\nPerhaps the most famous professionally active, blind astronomer (or almost blind astronomer) is Dominique-Francois Arago (1786-1853), director until his death of the powerful nineteenth-century Paris Observatory.I will share other\u2014some poignant\u2014 examples such as: William Campbell, who\u2019s blindness drove him to suicide; Leonhard Euler, astronomy\u2019s Beethoven, who did nearly half of his life\u2019s work while almost totally blind; and Edwin Frost, who \"observed\" a total solar eclipse while completely sightless.\nSession #120: Monday, 10 Jan 2011, 12:45\u20131:45 p.m.\nSession #129: Monday, 10 Jan 2011, 2:00\u20133:30 p.m.\n2:00 1. The Legendary Fourth-Century Total Solar Eclipse in Georgia: Fact or Fantasy?\nJefferson Sauter, Irakli Simonia, F. Richard Stephenson, and Wayne Orchiston, James Cook University, Australia.\nMedieval Georgian accounts of a sudden darkening of the sky are studied in detail. Though aspects of the story were likely embellished or fantastical, specific clues in the written sources suggest a total solar eclipse (TSE) from the 4th century AD. We examine the local circumstances of a likely candidate, the TSE of 6 May 319, using computer simulations and accounting for visibility corrections and constraints on the accumulated clock error (\u0394T). If the accounts do describe this TSE, the value of \u0394T inferred from the written sources would agree well with the range of values derived from Stephenson (1997). Additional analysis shows why this eclipse may have seemed uniquely remarkable to observers at the presumed location.\n2:15 2. Declinations in the Almagest: An Evaluation and Comments on their Use by Tycho Brahe and Edmond Halley\nJohn C. Brandt & Peter Zimmer, University of New Mexico, & Patricia B. Jones, University of Arizona.\nThe Almagest (Book VII, Chapter 3: Toomer 1998) gives 54 stellar declinations attributed to Timocharis, Aristyllus, Hipparchus, and Ptolemy (\u201cAs found by us\u201d). We evaluate these declinations (\u03b4) by comparing them to precessed modern positions (d) obtained by using U.S. Naval Observatory software. A recent HIPPARCOS catalogue is the source of positions, proper motions, and parallaxes, and radial velocities come from the Yale Bright Star Catalog. The standard deviation (\u03c3) is computed for \u0394 = \u03b4\u2013d for a plausible range of years for each observer. The minimum standard deviation, \u03c3min, determines the accuracies and epochs of observation assuming that an observer\u2019s observations were taken at approximately the same time. The results are: Timocharis, \u03c3min = 0.135\u00b0 and <\u0394> = +0.022\u00b0 at 295 BC: Aristyllus, \u03c3min = 0.089\u00b0 and <\u0394> = \u20130.004\u00b0 at 258 BC; Hipparchus, \u03c3min = 0.113\u00b0 and <\u0394> = +0.010\u00b0 at 128 BC; and Ptolemy, \u03c3min = 0.199\u00b0 and <\u0394> = +0.005\u00b0 at 115 AD. The precisions (\u03c3min) are remarkable, the mean errors (<\u03c3>) are small, and the dates are compatible with the historical evidence except for Ptolemy. The \u0394s for individual observers are approximately Gaussian except Timocharis\u2019s value for Arcturus at 5.6\u03c3min, which appears to be erroneous; our results are based on 53 declinations. The study of Almagest declinations by Maeyama (1984) uses the same approach and input data from the catalogue by Boss (1910). The results of the two studies are close, but with differences. Our values should be an improvement because of improved input data. We comment on the use of Almagest declinations by Tycho Brahe and Edmond Halley.\n2:30 3. Kepler\u2019s Cosmos and the Lathe of Heaven\nJohannes Kepler\u2019s Mysterium Cosmographicum, published in 1596, presented his vision of the geometrical structure of the solar system. Kepler sought to account for the number of planets, thought to be six, as well as their orbital radii. He assigned orbits to the planets in three-dimensional space. Kepler proposed that the planets move on six spheres inscribed within and circumscribed around the five platonic solids. How did he arrive at his model? By his own account reported in the book, the central idea occurred to him while giving a lecture about planetary conjunctions. But was this revelation the origin of the model? In this presentation, we discuss the artistic, scientific and mathematical environment in which Kepler was immersed in late 16th century Europe. Examples will be shown of some of the readily available inscribed polyhedra that he may have seen - printed in widely circulated books, included in well-known paintings and engravings, and displayed as three dimensional ornamentally turned sculptures. It is highly likely that he saw such physical models five years later while in the employ of Rudolf II who was an avid ornamental turner. Layered polyhedral ivory turnings were made by the nobility with what were then fairly common lathes. Kepler himself wanted to have his own celestial model made into a punch bowl! Therefore, it seems plausible that Kepler had seen models of inscribed platonic solids well before 1596. Later in life Kepler reprinted the Mysterium Cosmographicum with very little fundamental change in its outlook, even after having found what we now call Kepler\u2019s three laws of planetary motion. His interest in nested polyhedra may well have preceded any astronomical evidence or geometrical reasoning, arising from artistic and aesthetic encounters that occurred early in his life. Project LITE is supported by the NSF through DUE Grant # 0715975.\n2:45 Presentation of 1st Donald E. Osterbrock Book Prize\n2:50 Osterbrock Prize Lecture: Astronomy with a Difference: China\nNathan Sivin, University of Pennsylvania.\nChinese astronomy, observational and computational, is the only one of the world\u2019s traditions minutely documented and uninterrupted in its evolution for the last two thousand years. Its independence from Western influence for most of that period, and the fundamental differences in the ways it was thought through and organized, make it valuable for studying astronomical possibilities never explored elsewhere. This short talk will sketch its special character and the nature of the historical research going on in China and elsewhere.\nSession #210: Tuesday, 11 Jan 2011, 10:00\u201311:30 a.m.\n10:00 1. A Fascinating Phase In Solar Science: The Rise And Fall Of Schaeberle\u2019s Mechanical Theory Of The Solar Corona\nNearing the end of the late nineteenth century, John Martin Schaeberle, a staff astronomer at the Lick Observatory, wondered about the forces necessary to create the visual apparition of the solar corona. Homebound from the December 1889 eclipse, he laid the ground work for a new theory to explain the intricate coronal details and broad forms that he observed from numerous composite drawings and photographs from the January 1889 eclipse. In 1891, he published his A Mechanical Theory of the Solar Corona which attracted a diverse group of followers.\nThis paper will highlight Schaeberle\u2019s theory as it evolved, which was then subjected to tests and intense scrutiny, and finally proven wrong.\n10:15 2. The Boyden Station at Arequipa, Peru: Astrophysics on a Tight Budget\nThomas R. Williams, Independent Scholar.\nThe history of the Harvard College Observatory includes Edward Charles Pickering\u2019s ambitious plan to catalogue the night sky in terms of standardized photometry and spectral classification of all stars in both the Northern and Southern celestial hemispheres. In 1890, Pickering established the HCO\u2019s Boyden Station at Arequipa, Peru, to provide the raw material from which to construct those catalogues. This paper will consider the operation of the Boyden Station during the first two decades of the twentieth century with particular emphasis on the period during which Leon Campbell supervised the station, and reflect on the consequences of Pickering\u2019s scientific agenda, management style and budgetary constraints as reflected by that operation.\n10:30 3. On the Centennial of Willy Fowler and Grote Reber: It Takes All Kinds\nWilliam A. Fowler and Grote Reber were born in 1911, grew up in the American Midwest, and started out studying engineering. Neither ever made professional use of optical telescopes, and initially neither considered himself an astronomer. Reber was a radio engineer who followed up on Karl Jansky\u2019s surprising discovery of radio emissions from the sky by building his own radio telescope, and for several years he was the world\u2019s only radio astronomer. His discoveries showed that much new information could be obtained about the Universe by detecting and analysing what he called \u201ccosmic static.\u201d Fowler was a nuclear physicist who took over leadership of a group at Caltech begun by C.C. Lauritsen and made the Kellogg Radiation Lab the world\u2019s leading site for learning about the reactions that power the stars and produce all but the lightest elements. He devoted most of his time in his later years to theoretical work in nuclear astrophysics. Personally, the two were quite different: Fowler, who spent more than sixty years at Caltech, was an insider, an influential member of many committees and organizations, and a president of the American Physical Society. Reber was an outsider who hardly ever worked with others and did nearly all of his astronomical research as an amateur. Fowler left more than 50 Ph.D. students, many postdoctoral fellows, two children, and a grandchild. Reber left neither academic nor biological descendants. Despite their different styles, both the radio engineer and the nuclear physicist made enormous contributions to twentieth century astronomy.\n10:45 4. Decades of Decision, Delight, and Despair\nVirginia L. Trimble, University of California, Irvine & Las Cumbres Observatory.\nBy the time this is presented, the results of the 6th decadal survey (\"The Blandford Report\") will be known. Meanwhile, I have re-read the first five (Whitford, Greenstein, Field, Bahcall, McKee-Taylor) and endeavored to determine just which of the things they asked for we eventually got (HST, the VLA), which we did not (more common-used optical telescopes, a large deployable reflector in space), which things we got that no one seems to have asked for, and which might yet happen (JWST, Con-X now part of IXO). Prioritizing facilities also inevitably prioritizes science, and something will be said about how sub-topic emphasis has shifted, about the structure and demographics of the review panels themselves (whose total size peaked at 300+ for the Bahcall report), and about the demographic predictions made by the panels.\n11:00 5. Alignments of Sun and Moon Create the Driving Force Behind Storms \u2014 But also Earthquakes?\nBella Chao Chiu, Massachusetts Institute of Technology.\nOur work started with explaining the storms in the Pacific, known as El Nino and La Nina. It was the alignment of sun and moon, pulling together about twice a month. Often a solar eclipse path will show more clearly where the bodies are. Then, during this last year, the same point of view has surprisingly shed light on the problem of earthquake prediction. The events which caught our attention began with the El Nino storm of February 23, 1998. Since we are solar eclipse watchers, we noticed the long eclipse path of February 26th, 1998, which ran through Panama and parts of Columbia and Venezuela. Calculations showed that the gravity of the sun would add 46% of tidal force to that of the moon. Descriptions of this storm (and others) have convinced us that the coming together of sun and moon is the driving force behind the storms known as the El Nino and La Nina in the Pacific Ocean. Then in 2004, we had the earthquake in Indonesia which produced a great tsunami. And we head from and read about the effects of great current changes, or tides, which can trigger earthquakes. So far, the tide scientists say that tidal forces affect only shallow earthquakes. But is there now an increase in depth in ocean, or in frequency, due to global warming? Earthquake specialists had already calculated there is a greater than 90% probability of the major earthquake occurring within the next 30 years. This is for Los Angeles and San Francisco, and a similar situation for Japan. Now we can close in on what days the probabilities are higher.",

The investigation into this matter has been very thorough and now other female fire fighters in Nova Scotia should also benefit from the outcome.\u201d\n\u201cThe Halifax Fire and Emergency Service has admitted that historic systemic discrimination took place based on gender as result of a complaint filed by Ms. Tessier,\u201d said Ms. Franklin. \u201cWe commend them for taking steps to change their policies and practices to help prevent harassment and discrimination faced by female fire fighters.\u201d\nMs. Tessier was a volunteer firefighter from 1998 to 2006. From January 2005 to May 2006, Ms. Tessier also worked as a paid casual firefighter.\nOn May 21, 2008, Ms. Tessier filed a human rights complaint against the municipality and HRFE alleging discrimination based on gender. Her complaint was amended in 2014 to add historic systemic discrimination based on gender within the fire service.\nMs. Tessier\u2019s personal human rights complaint of gender discrimination has been settled. In addition, the systemic discrimination complaint has also been settled, with assistance from the Nova Scotia Human Rights Commission.\nHRFE acknowledges there has been a systemic issue within the fire service concerning the treatment of female firefighters. The department is committed to ensuring this is addressed through the ongoing changes that have been made since the filing of Ms. Tessier\u2019s complaint.\n\u201cThis press conference is an important milestone in my 10-year fight,\u201d said Ms. Tessier. \u201cBut it\u2019s not the end. The public apology acknowledging what I, and other women, have experienced is a step in the right direction.\n\u201cGender-based violence is not going to stop because of this apology. But hopefully my struggle, this settlement, and this public apology, will put other employers on notice,\u201d Ms. Tessier said. \u201cThey are going to have to act. They are going to have to walk their talk. I am watching, and now the public is too.\u201d\nAs part of the settlement, Fire Chief Ken Stuebing has formally apologized to Ms. Tessier and to any other female firefighter who has experienced gender discrimination while a member of HRFE.\n\u201cAs an organization, we must ensure our female firefighters feel welcome, valued, and respected as members of our team,\u201d said Chief Stuebing. \u201cAs the chief, it is my responsibility to ensure our workplace is free from all language and behaviours meant to hurt, undervalue, or discriminate.\u201d\nThe fire service is committed to ensuring HRFE is a welcoming and accepting workplace for women. Initiatives include specialized training for firefighters, independent investigations of internal complaints filed against the fire service, and a strong focus on improving the number of female firefighters in the department.\nNOTD: P2 Elegant\nGraduate to Opportunity Provides Opportunities for New Graduates\nHelp Me Say Yes to the Dress",

In the years leading up to its independence from Great Britain, and more than a decade after, in a world torn asunder by unchecked colonial expansions and two world wars, Jawaharlal Nehru had a radical vision: bridging the ideological differences of the East and the West, healing the growing rift between capitalist and communist, and creating \u2018One World\u2019 that would be free of empire, exploitation and war. Madame Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit, Nehru\u2019s sister, would lead the fight in and through the United Nations to turn all this into a reality. An electric orator and outstanding diplomat, she travelled across continents speaking in the voice of the oppressed and garnering support for her cause. Based on seven years of research, across three continents, and written in a crisp and riveting style, this is the first truly international history of newly independent India.\nManu Bhagavan is a historian and has also authored or (co-) edited five books. He teaches at Hunter College and the Graduate Center, The City University of New York, where he is professor of History and Chair of the Human Rights Program at the Roosevelt House Public Policy Institute.

However, his book \u2014 to be released Friday, four days earlier than expected \u2014 has been the subject of threats made by Donald Trump\u2019s attorneys.\nNot every book that is challenged by lawyers is worth reading, and I can\u2019t guarantee that this book will enlighten everyone (I don\u2019t receive review copies). However, our president (sic) has declared war on the country, and we should offer loyalty to anyone who suffers retaliation when challenging Donald J. Trump. For that reason alone, let\u2019s make this book a bestseller!\nYou don\u2019t have to defend graphic, ominous images on social media. Last year, Kathy Griffin did something stupid which crossed a line, regardless of how many apologists document worse messages in the past that referenced President Obama. We\u2019re in a crisis, and presently our energy must be invested in protecting the right to scrutinize the president\u2019s actions and inform the public.\nOkay, those editorial cartoons of Trump doing vulgar things should be protected, too. Just don\u2019t overrate them as educational tools. They\u2019re opinion pieces. If anyone\u2019s interested, I posted my own petty opinion piece on Twitter this morning, and called attention to it with six hashtags. If I want to make shoddy excuses, I can blame an earthquake that woke nearly everyone in the Bay Area at a little after 2:30 a.m. The dream occurred after falling back asleep:\nNo, I wasn\u2019t serious about giving up news updates. Those strained carrots got really messy, though.\nIf you decide to read Michael Wolff\u2019s new book, read it with an open mind. Question anything that doesn\u2019t look right, and listen to educated commentators who attempt to separate fact from fiction. Forget Fox News.\nIf the New York Review of Books has a feature on Fire and Fury, read it. NYRB maintains high standards, and should act as a reliable bullshit detector.\nHere\u2019s a link to CNN\u2019s article on the updated release date.\nhttp://money.cnn.com/2018/01/04/media/michael-wolff-fire-and-fury-book/index.html?sr=twCNN010418michael-wolff-fire-and-fury-book0405PMStory\nAnd, while we\u2019re here, take a look at this Washington Post article on why we must be especially cautious with Michael Wolff\u2019s brand of journalism.

        "raw_content": "The National Hockey League's season runs from October until early June, when the eventual Champions of the NHL are awarded the Stanley Cup. The puckline is the most popular form of hockey bet, which is itself hockey\u2019s version of pointspread betting. Hockey betting also offers the \"Grand Salami\" bet, a totals bet where players bet on the total number of goals scored by all teams on that particular day. NHL games must go to the second period to be considered \"action\". To understand puckline betting, consider the example below:\nIn the example above, Montreal is the underdog, as indicated by the plus (+) sign in the puckline. These figures mean that anyone betting on Montreal wins if Montreal either wins the game or doesn't lose to Dallas by more than 1.5 goals. The second number, 1.37, is the price \u2013 this means that if Montreal wins or doesn't lose by more than 1.5 goals, the bettor wins $1.37 for every $1.00 bet.\nIf you bet on Dallas, they must win by more than 1.5 goals for the bet to win. In this event, the bettor wins $3.20 for every $1.00 bet.",

        "title": "Teaching Music | Henrik Karapetyan",
        "raw_content": "Music has been a part of education programs since ancient times. Its emotional as well as practical significance in our lives was clearly realized by ancient Greeks, who taught it as part of mathematics. The teaching approach to either theoretical or practical music is quite different today and the calculation of intervallic ratios is rather a minor (if not entirely non-existent) part of the curriculum. This is not a shortcoming but rather a reflection of how the world and the approach to music have changed throughout the centuries. It is essential for any music teacher to realize this and to address problems within the larger context of modern life.\nIn my general approach to teaching music I start by asking myself two essential questions:\nWhat is the place of music in the world today?\nHow can I help an individual to find himself/herself through music?\nThe first question is not easy to answer, because the world itself is changing at an unprecedented rate in the 21st century. Accordingly, the music and its perception at large, its meaning and place in our lives is constantly transforming. A good teacher should be able to not only realistically identify the context of music in his/her own time but also estimate its future position in society, or at least in the near future. This is very important, since being aware of modern developments in music throughout the world helps one to assess the problems a student is going to be facing after his/her graduation. This in turn makes it possible to arrange a curriculum that addresses most if not all aspects of a musical career in the modern world. Additionally, if any of the changes seem to be negatively affecting the fundamentals of teaching music or performance, it will be possible to address these changes before a student has gone off track with them.\nThe answer to the second question is essentially contingent to the realization of the first. If a teacher has a more or less accurate perception of the place of the music in a given period of time, he/she will be able to prepare a student accordingly. For example, taking orchestral excerpts to a violin lesson or performing Bach using a baroque bow would be quite an exception fifty years ago. Today even relatively small music departments in universities worldwide often boast a baroque ensemble and Orchestral Studies programs.\nI do not assume that one has to change his/her teaching philosophy and methodology entirely, according to social changes in the status of one\u2019s profession. There are fundamentals developed throughout centuries of work and experience that should always be there. But in today\u2019s world the dynamics of communication and student-teacher interaction are quite different from the past, as well as the market and the general perception of music. Globalization, economic changes and free market have affected the world of music and communication reasonably. Growing numbers of international music students with different backgrounds and training are seeking high-quality instruction in the USA as well as Western European countries. While the basics will usually be the same for everyone, a modern teacher should be more sensitive to the cultural, social, emotional and physical differences of his/her students.\nThe era of great pedagogues with a lofty patriarchal image and unquestioned authority is gone. Students like asking questions, as well as disputing answers. It\u2019s not enough today to just say how but also why and based on what logic. History has proven that there is more than one way to do things in music, and while a teacher should certainly have his/her own principles of technique, ethics and interpretation, it is important to keep an open mind to other ideas and possibilities. In fact, this is the only way that real communication, real \u201csharing\u201d comes to work effectively.\nAn important element in the communication of knowledge is the human communication and understanding between teacher and student. Essential to this communication is mutual trust; a powerful constructive bond. To make the distinction from the beginning, I am not talking about the slavishly impersonal trust of the student to the authority of the teacher, so common half a century ago. This is the trust of good intentions, good will, and mutual respect that will create an atmosphere of sharing, learning, and improvement for both teacher and student. This trust is developed through different aspects of teaching, from the competence and enthusiasm of the teacher to the choice of the repertoire.\nThe repertoire, seemingly negligible, can in fact be a matter of critical importance for the improvement of the student (and subsequently also the development of the atmosphere of trust). Here is where a pedagogue can earn real bonuses if he/she is willing to be also a bit of a psychologist. For example, some students are at home with the traditional 19th century repertoire, while others need more unconventional pieces to \u201copen up.\u201d The fact that a piece is very well-known and has been extensively recorded can encourage one to want to perform it, because it is already quite familiar. That same idea of familiarity and popularity of the piece may be a restraining factor for another. Some may find the \u201cheavyweight\u201d Brahms piano concertos the best way to express themselves, while others may feel liberated by the exalted beauty of Handel arias or the sarcastic chaos of the finale of Shostakovich\u2019s First Violin Concerto.\nWhile it is not possible for a teacher to always guess which composition will be absolutely the best choice for a student, it never hearts to ask. If a student has a choice and it is beneficial to assign him/her that piece, this truly becomes a win-win situation. Apart from the resulting enthusiasm and confidence, presumably more hours of practice and study, more animated and productive lessons, it will also fasten the bond of trust between the student and teacher. Additionally, having assigned a student a piece of their liking, the teacher can feel freer to insist in return, on more exercise time (usually not a favorite topic with students) as well as to assign other works, possibly from a different era or character, providing a student with a healthy and pleasant repertoire.\nFinally, one of the most important aspects of teaching a performing art is teaching how to practice. I can hardly overemphasize the importance of this aspect in teaching. After all, I believe the best results are achieved not necessarily through the \u201chours of practice\u201d but the quality of the work during these hours. In fact, practicing can do more harm than good if it becomes merely automatic repetition of patterns and pitches, and especially repetition of mistakes. Not once have I heard a student desperately playing the same passage over and over and failing to address a certain note, shift or fingering that is actually causing a problem. Whether it\u2019s a wrong note or an awkward shift, tasteless phrasing or unnecessary/harmful muscle movement, their repeated occurrences harm the student, often wasting scarce practice time and energy, and sometimes resulting in physical injuries or psychological breakdown. Indeed, teaching how to play is primarily teaching how to practice.#\n#It is important for a student to start teaching as early as possible, as it opens countless possibilities of learning. For example, having to address a certain problem with their own student, they will have to start analyzing how they do certain things themselves, and this process, especially when shared and consulted with a competent teacher of their own, can be most revealing. As not every freshman or sophomore will readily have a full studio of students handy for this kind of experience, I suggest that my students attend their peers\u2019 lessons at least once a month and observe the teaching as well as offering their own critiques, however subjective. This way they will become aware of wider range of problems that can be addressed in teaching music, as well as learning to be constructively critical and develop a keener ear and sensitivity. Recording oneself and playing back is another extremely useful tool.",

As Deadline reports, the wives end up being a lot more vicious than their husbands ever were, which is where things get interesting. Andrea Berloff, who co-wrote Straight Outta Compton, wrote the screenplay for The Kitchen and is also set to make her debut as a director with the film. The Kitchen originally debuted in 2014 and was written by Ollie Masters and Ming Doyle, and now New Line Cinema and DC Entertainment are bringing it to the big screen.\nMcCarthy and Haddish are both known for their strong comedic timing, which makes them an unlikely choice to tackle something that\u2019s supposedly set to be a gritty drama. Of course, comedy actors have transitioned from their usual funny business into serious roles in the past, but it will be interesting to see these women do the same.\nThis is an exciting collaboration, hopefully we get to see the film on the big screen sooner than later!\nTiffany Haddish and Melissa McCarthy in the same movie??? pic.twitter.com/svg9pl4G6u\n\u2014 Just call me Shelly (@ellisromance) February 13, 2018\nWe\u2019re Not Worthy: Tiffany Haddish and Melissa McCarthy To Team Up For Upcoming Film, But It\u2019s Far From A Comedy was originally published on globalgrind.com",

We have a dream that is laid on our hearts and it seems so close that we can touch it. We are working so hard, making our plans, yet there it remains just out of reach.\nWe may find that we question: \u201cWhy do I hurt?\u201d \u201cWhy do I feel this way?\u201d \u201cWhy can\u2019t this happen for me?\u201d\nOr we may find that we curse: \u201cI hate this thing\u201d \u201cI hate this (fill in the blank) it is never going to happen. I hate this life, and many other things\nYet note in the first, questioning is not the same as asking. And even cursing can lead to something but if I or you do not go beyond the curse then nothing will come of it.\nA blind beggar sat by a roadside. That he existed until this point meant that some people at some point had taken pity on his condition and he given him some things but he certainly wasn\u2019t prosperous. He could not see but he heard a commotion. It does not appear that he cursed the commotion at not being able to see it but if he did; he did not stop there. He asked and was told Jesus was walking by. Again he could have cursed his condition that he could not see Jesus or even see to be able to make it through the crowd to get to him. But again if he did, he did not stop there. The scripture tells us he cried out to Jesus.\nThen the world intervened. The world in the guise of people standing around him, did not support him or help in any way; in fact the opposite was true. They started to talk back to him and maybe even curse him; telling him to be quiet and stop making a distrubance. Again he could have cursed the world and stopped; but he didn\u2019t\nThe scripture tells us he cried all the louder; loud enough for Jesus to hear him and then ask for the man to be brought to him. Notice how quickly the world changes in this case. Those who just a minute ago were berating the man for his insolence to be crying out to Jesus, now tell the man to be of good cheer; for the Jesus has heard him and is calling for him. And Jesus heals his blindness.\nThe man had plenty of opportunity to stop before he got to his healing. In fact he might have never even started in the first place.\nBut how do we know that Jesus is listening to us? How do we know that we will be the lucky one? The scripture tell us. Think if there is ever a time that when faithfully asked, Jesus turns a person down. A Roman Soldier, a poor woman, even a gentile after Jesus initially says His time for her is not yet, relents when her faithful, humble answer shows her heart.\nJesus promises it and that is the most important source of all. In John he clearly states, those who love me and keep my words, ask whatever they will of me and I will do it that My Father may be glorified.\nWe must understand; the world does not put a premium on asking for help. It is a sign of weakness. We like the self made person, pulling themselves up by their bootstraps, pointing to their own hard work and persaverence as the reason for their success. The world cringes when it hears \u201cI first want to thank my Savior Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father\u201d. Like the crowd they say shut up, you\u2019re making a commotion.\nThe world makes it easier to curse. Yet remember Jesus overcame the world and this is the most important part. He overcame it not for himself, for he started out greater than the world. He overcame the world for us. That we may have a Saviour to call upon who knows us and will hear us and not be slow to answer.\nSo find a time today to ask. Ask: not why not but for. Ask in faith and know that it was heard. That the world can not drown it out and in faith to the Glory of God our Heavenly Father it will be answered.\nThis is a great article!!!

        "raw_content": "A recently released study entitled Estimated Impacts of Tariffs on the U.S. Economy and Workers represents yet another attempt to show the impact on U.S. workers, consumers, manufacturers and farmers of the additional tariffs imposed by the Trump administration on a broad range of goods. The analysis begins with a \u201cbase scenario\u201d of 25 percent duties on all mainland Chinese goods previously announced for tariffs, including the US$250 billion currently subject to 10 percent duties (which the model assumes at a 25 percent level, as may occur on 2 March). This scenario assumes that the current global steel and aluminium tariffs and quotas remain in effect, along with all current retaliatory duties affecting U.S. exports. The model yields an annual 0.37 percent negative impact on U.S. gross domestic product, with an annual cost to the average American family of four of US$767. It also estimates a one-time net loss of 934,700 jobs, with every U.S. state experiencing net job losses.\nThe study was prepared by The Trade Partnership and co-authored by a professor who served as a research economist at the World Trade Organisation and led the Office of Economics at the U.S. International Trade Commission. In addition to the base scenario, it provides three higher impact scenarios including tariffs on certain motor vehicles and parts (under consideration under Section 232), tariffs on all remaining mainland Chinese exports, and a \u201ctrade war\u201d scenario that combines the three previous scenarios (steel/aluminium tariffs/quotas plus retaliation, tariffs on all U.S. imports from mainland China plus retaliation, and tariffs plus retaliation on U.S. motor vehicles and parts from foreign suppliers other than Canada, Mexico, Korea, the European Union and Japan). Not surprisingly, each scenario reflects increased harm to the U.S. economy compared to the base scenario.\nThe \u201ctrade war\u201d scenario may not encompass all potential negative effects since it assumes that the auto tariffs never apply to major suppliers, nor does it consider potential tariffs on other commodities (such as uranium, which is also currently subject to a Section 232 probe). The study found that even in cases when U.S. manufacturing jobs increase, service jobs decrease more. Even with all caveats, the study reinforces the views of most mainstream economists that large and unpredictable tariff increases harm all sides.\nSenators Tom Carper (Democrat-Delaware), Mark Warner (Democrat-Virginia), Pat Toomey (Republican-Pennsylvania) and Ron Johnson (Republican-Wisconsin) attended the \u201cTariffs Hurt the Heartland\u201d press conference where the study was released. Each scenario in the report showed the jobs impact broken down by industry sector and U.S. state. Since any actions to undo the Trump administration\u2019s tariffs will probably begin in the U.S. Congress, the study provides an invaluable snapshot to lawmakers of the cost to their constituents of Trump\u2019s trade policy.\nCUSTOMS...74631",

        "raw_content": "Kourtney Kardashian, 39, Loves Dating Younger Men Like Luka Sabbat: A Guy Her Age Could Never Keep Up\nKelly Clarkson Announces Her New Talk Show: Will Be Different Than \u2018Anything That\u2019s Been On\u2019\nKelly Clarkson finally dished details on her new talk show! The singer revealed it\u2019ll air before Ellen DeGeneres\u2019 show, and more, during \u2018The Tonight Show\u2019 on Sept. 18.\nGet ready. Kelly Clarkson\u2019s talk show, which she announced will air next year, will not be your typical ask-and-answer setup. American Idol\u2018s Season One winner stopped by to chat with Jimmy Fallon, 44, at The Tonight Show on Sept. 18. The 36-year-old singer gave the audience a twirl in her frilly black and red gown before sitting down to deliver the juicy details, which she\u2019s never shared before tonight. But first, Kelly talked about her Meaning of Life tour, which kick starts next January and Kelsea Ballerini and The Voice Season 14 winner Brynn Cartelli will join as special guests. Kelly then revealed the surprising way her upcoming tour relates to her talk show. \u201cWell, I\u2019m doing this to kind of prep for my talk show that\u2019s going to be next year. We\u2019re doing a live segment during my show,\u201d Kelly revealed to Jimmy on-air. \u201cSo every night on tour, we\u2019re going live online.\u201d Kelly added that she\u2019s doing this for the \u201cpeople that can\u2019t come out.\u201d\nJimmy was just as shocked as us, who pointed out that Kelly\u2019s talk show hasn\u2019t been announced yet! Kelly agreed, saying that the news has \u201cbeen leaked.\u201d Kelly is most likely referring to a report that she filmed her talk show pilot at NBC Universal Studios in Los Angeles with special guests Josh Groban, Terry Crews and Chlo\u00eb Grace Moretz on Aug. 10, according to an Entertainment Tonight eyewitness. But Kelly talked about the pilot herself on tonight\u2019s show. \u201cAt the pilot, I got, you know, people to sing with me and do little skits. So it\u2019s very musical as well. It would be weird if it wasn\u2019t,\u201d Kelly told Jimmy. She then revealed a two big pieces of information! \u201cYeah, it\u2019s daytime. We\u2019re on right before Ellen [DeGeneres],\u201d Kelly said, referring to none other than The Ellen DeGeneres Show, which airs weekdays at 3 p.m. EDT.\nThe Voice coach then explained how the show will work! Kelly\u2019s touring band will also join her on the talk show, after Jimmy asked if she has a band. \u201cThat\u2019s the cool thing. My people on tour. Because my show is actually going to be a little different than you know, anything that\u2019s been on,\u201d Kelly told Jimmy. \u201cJust because I\u2019m still touring, I\u2019m still \u2014 you know what I\u2019m saying? It\u2019s kind of one of those things where my band is on the road with me, or they\u2019re on the show with me.\u201d As for what else viewers can expect, Kelly continued, \u201cWe sing everyday on the show and do like this fan request thing, it\u2019s fun.\u201d\nKelly then talks about another new phase in her life: the upcoming season of The Voice, which airs Sept. 24!

        "title": "Digital subchannel - Howling Pixel",
        "raw_content": "Digital subchannel\nIn broadcasting, digital subchannels are a method of transmitting more than one independent program stream simultaneously from the same digital radio or television station on the same radio frequency channel. This is done by using data compression techniques to reduce the size of each individual program stream, and multiplexing to combine them into a single signal. The practice is sometimes called \"multicasting\".\nATSC television\nThe ATSC digital television standard used in the United States supports multiple program streams over-the-air, allowing television stations to transmit one or more subchannels over a single digital signal. A virtual channel numbering scheme distinguishes broadcast subchannels by appending the television channel number with a period digit (\".xx\"). Simultaneously, the suffix indicates that a television station offers additional programming streams. By convention, the suffix position \".1\" is normally used to refer to the station's main digital channel and the \".0\" position is reserved for analog channels. For example, most of the owned-and-operated stations/affiliates of Ion Television transmit six streams in the following format:\n16.1 720p 16:9 Main Ion Television programming\n16.2 480i 4:3 Qubo Channel\n16.5 Home Shopping Network\nThe most of any large broadcaster in the United States, Trinity Broadcasting Network stations transmit five channels (in standard definition) and its subchannel services Hillsong Channel, JUCE TV/Smile (two networks that technically operate as separate 24-hour services, but since June 2015, air portions of their respective schedules on a single subchannel over-the-air), TBN Enlace USA and TBN Salsa. More programming streams can be fit into a single channel space at the cost of broadcast quality. Among smaller stations, KAXT-CD in San Francisco is believed to have the most feeds of any individual over-the-air broadcaster, offering twelve video and several audio feeds (all transmitted in standard definition). WANN-CD in Atlanta, Georgia, with ten video and six audio feeds, comes at a close second. Several cable-to-air broadcasters, such as those in Willmar, Minnesota and Cortez, Colorado, have multiplexed more than five separate cable television channels into subchannels of one signal.\nOperating in a sector traditionally lacking subchannels, digital cable television provider Music Choice packages its nearly 50 music channels (including Music Choice Play) as digital subchannels of one channel. This is possible as the only information sent over each channel are audio feeds and a still slide which rotates every 20 seconds, displaying an advertisement and information about the current playing song on the individual channel. The audio feed and rotating stills occupy significantly less bandwidth than video feeds, leaving space for more multiplexed content.\nA broadcaster saves significant costs in power and bandwidth through multiplexing in comparison to the cost of operating additional analog television stations to accommodate the extra programming. In practice, operating extra stations is impossible due to the required channel and distance separations combined with the available number of channels.\nMost ATSC tuners will automatically add a new digital subchannel to their internal channel map, once it is tuned to the station carrying the new channel. However, some of these will not delete the channel if the station removes it.\nMobile DTV is also carried on ATSC stations, but as a separate service, according to the ATSC-M/H standard.\nThe Federal Communications Commission (FCC) considers all subchannels carried by a single station to have the same call letters for legal identification purposes. However, within the broadcast sales industry, to differentiate subchannels, the initial letter of a call sign changes per subchannel. As per Nielsen, digital stations identified with a \"W\" call letter will generally have their subchannels identified with an \"E\" (.2), \"G\" (.3), \"H\" (.4), \"I\" (.5) or \"J\" (.6). Digital stations identified with a \"K\" call-letter will generally have their subchannels identified with an \"N\" (.2), \"O\" (.3), \"Q\" (.4), \"R\" (.5) or \"S\" (.6). For example, if the call letters are WFRC and the station broadcasts on channel 10, then the 10.2 subchannel is identified as EFRC, 10.3 is GFRC, 10.4 is HFRC, 10.5 is IFRC and 10.6 is JFRC. If the call letters are KFRC and the station broadcasts on channel 10, then 10.2 is identified as NFRC, 10.3 is OFRC, 10.4 is QFRC, 10.5 is RFRC and 10.6 is SFRC.\nAlthough digital television services in Canada use the same ATSC technology as the United States, none of the stations currently broadcasting a digital signal transmit any subchannel other than a possible HD service or a standard definition simulcast of the main channel. Unlike the FCC in the United States, the body that governs Canadian broadcasting licenses, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), requires stations to file license amendments in order to be considered for permission to carry digital subchannels (this differs from the Commission's rules for premium cable television services, which allow the addition of multiplex channels consistent with the service's license requirements without the need to amend the license). On August 17, 2012, the CRTC gave approval to Leamington, Ontario community station CFTV-TV to broadcast four local subchannels on its digital signal, making it the first station in Canada to launch original content on its multiplex channels.[1]\nSome Mexican TV stations use digital subchannels as they are used in the United States. The Sistema P\u00fablico de Radiodifusi\u00f3n del Estado Mexicano, a public broadcaster, operates 26 multiplexed transmitters throughout Mexico carrying five to six public television services, while XHTRES-TDT carries Imagen Radio audio on a subchannel.\nOne notable experiment involving digital subchannels in Mexico was undertaken by TV Azteca, which used its three muxes in the Mexico City area to broadcast a service called Hi-TV, featuring several channels encoded in H.264 MPEG-4 encoding, which while available in the ATSC standard is not common on TV sets. This use of subchannels as pseudo-restricted signals within non-restricted channels was placed under investigation and litigation with authorities at COFETEL (the Federal Teleommunications Commission), involving a fine of 4,453,150 Mexican pesos. HiTV subchannels began broadcasting on an intermittent basis in 2013 and were almost completely deactivated in late 2014.\nTelevisa and TV Azteca use subchannels in rural areas in order to ensure national network service. As a result, since 2016, many areas that formerly had only one Azteca or Televisa network now have both from the same transmitter. Additionally, TV Azteca has two national services that are broadcast as subchannels in most areas, a+ and adn40.\nIn October 2016, the IFT put into effect new guidelines for the numbering of virtual channels. As a result, national networks use consistent numbers nationwide; SPR transmitters now use four or five major channel numbers (11, 14, 20, 22, and 45 in some areas). Prior to this, digital television stations usually used virtual channels corresponding to their former analog positions, still the case for certain local stations.\nThe IFT enforces minimum bitrates for digital television channels, and as such it is not possible for a station to broadcast two HD feeds in MPEG-2 encoding. Most HD feeds are provided in 1080i with all subchannels in 480i standard definition.\nDVB television\nAustralian digital subchannels are currently divided between high definition (HD), standard definition (SD) and radio subchannels (the latter type is only carried by the stations of non-commercial networks SBS Television and ABC Television). Due to technical reasons, each network is currently only permitted one HD sub channel. All networks use their HD subchannel to provide a simulcast of their primary channel.\nInclusive of their primary standard definition channels (ignoring HD):\nSBS Television offers three unique SD subchannels (SBS Viceland, Food Network and NITV) and a HD simulcast of its primary channel (SBS HD); as well as a HD simulcast of its Viceland channel.\nABC Television offers four unique SD subchannels (ABC2, ABC Me, ABC Kids and ABC News and a HD simulcast of its primary channel (ABC HD).\nThe Seven Network offers three unique SD subchannels (7TWO, 7mate and 7flix), a datacasting channel (Racing.com) and a HD simulcast of its primary channel (7HD)\nThe Nine Network offers three unique SD subchannels (9Go!, 9Gem and 9Life), a datacasting channel (Extra) and a HD simulcast of its primary channel (9HD);\nNetwork Ten offers two unique SD subchannels (One and Eleven), two datacasting channels (TVSN and Spree TV) and a HD simulcast of its primary channel (Ten HD).\nCommunity television stations in Melbourne (C31) and Adelaide (44 Adelaide) also broadcast digital signals, however they typically only broadcast a single SD subchannel which simulcasts that station's primary channel.\nThere have been a number of issues surrounding the introduction of digital subchannels in Australia. The first subchannels launched by the ABC \u2013 ABC Kids and Fly TV \u2013 closed after less than two years in operation in 2003 as a reaction to budget cuts by the conservative Howard Government under Communications Minister Alston and low viewership (partly due to the limited distribution of set-top boxes); and commercial broadcasters could not legally air a digital subchannel other than a single high-definition service until 2009.\nAs most digital services in Europe rely on more complex methods of multiplexing, where a large number of digital channels by many different broadcasters can be broadcast on one single frequency, the concept of a subchannel is instead applied to the variety of channels that are produced by a single company. This can vary widely depending on the country: for example, ITV currently has four of its digital channels (ITV, ITV2, ITV3 and ITV4) broadcasting on one multiplexed service, while two others (ITV2 +1 and CITV) are each broadcast on another, separate multiplex.\nISDB television\nIn Japan and Brazil, ISDB (similar to the DVB format) is used, and was specifically designed with physical RF segments that could be split to use for different subchannels.\nAs the amount of data which can be carried on one digital television channel at one time is limited, the addition of multiple channels of programming as digital subchannels comes at the expense of having less available bandwidth for other purposes, such as the ability to transmit high definition content. A station carrying multiple subchannels will normally limit itself to one high-definition channel (or in some cases, two HD channels), with any additional channels being carried in standard definition. Because of the tradeoffs, stations owned by CBS Corporation through its CBS Television Stations subsidiary (which include owned-and-operated stations of CBS and The CW, and some independent stations) generally opted not to carry digital subchannels and transmitted only a 1080i high definition main feed; this changed in 2013 with the addition of dedicated local news channels on CBS O&Os in New York City and Philadelphia (the company later announced the creation of Decades, a multicast network part-owned by CBS which now airs on all CBS-owned stations).[2]\nIt is possible for stations to carry more than two subchannel feeds in HD, at least nominally. Actual picture quality may be comparable to DVD video. Some examples of stations broadcasting in this format are:\nMarket/city of license\nKBMT Beaumont, Texas In addition to broadcasting ABC programming on its main channel in 720p, KBMT transmits NBC programming on its second subchannel and Cozi TV on its third subchannel (all three channels are broadcast in 16:9 widescreen, although the DT3 subchannel is presented in 480i); the station also offers Me-TV programming in 480i 4:3 SD on its fourth subchannel.\nKXII Sherman, Texas KXII carries Fox programming in HD on its third subchannel and MyNetworkTV programming in SD on its second subchannel, in addition to carrying CBS programming in HD on its main channel.\nKTEN Ada, Oklahoma In addition to carrying NBC programming in HD on its main channel in 1080i, KTEN carries CW programming in 720p HD on its second subchannel and ABC programming in 720p HD on its third subchannel.\nWGXA Macon, Georgia WGXA began carrying ABC programming on its second digital subchannel on January 1, 2010, after WPGA-TV disaffiliated from the network in a compensation and program content dispute; WGXA transmits its Fox-affiliated main channel and its ABC subchannel in 720p (the native HD resolution format for both networks). The station's main channel is branded as \"Fox 24\" and maps via PSIP as 24.1, while the ABC subchannel brands as \"ABC 16,\" in reference to the station's physical digital channel 16 (but maps its PSIP virtual channel as 24.2). A standard definition feed of Comet was launched on its third subchannel in October 2015.\nWKBN-TV Youngstown, Ohio WKBN carries a simulcast of Fox-affiliated sister station WYFX-LD on its second digital subchannel in order to make its programming available to the entire market (WYFX is licensed as a low-power station), in addition to transmitting CBS programming on its main channel. Both subchannels transmit in 720p HD (in the case of the main channel, this differs from CBS's preferred 1080i HD format). Comparatively, its sister station, ABC affiliate WYTV transmits both its MyNetworkTV-affiliated second subchannel and its Bounce TV-affiliated third subchannel in standard definition (since ABC and MyNetworkTV both transmit in 720p, the 33.2 subchannel could be reconfigured to high definition in a manner that creates limited issues in regards to bandwidth for the 33.3 subchannel). In 2017, WKBN sold its spectrum for $34 million as part of the FCC's spectrum reallocation program and will move its broadcasting to WYTV's frequency, limiting more bandwidth to both stations.[3]\nWTHI-TV Terre Haute, Indiana In addition to airing its main CBS program feed in 1080i, WTHI transmits Fox programming in 720p HD on its second subchannel and CW+ programming in 720p HD on its third subchannel, in addition to a standard definition 480i widescreen Ion Television feed on its fourth subchannel.\nWTRF-TV Wheeling, West Virginia In addition to carrying CBS programming in 1080i on its main channel, WTRF-TV carries ABC programming in 720p on its third subchannel. Until the network moved to a subchannel of NBC affiliate WTOV-TV in September 2014,[4] WTRF carried Fox programming in 720p on its second subchannel, which remains affiliated with MyNetworkTV.\nWUVG-DT Atlanta, Georgia WUVG, which operates as a Univision owned-and-operated station, carries UniM\u00e1s in 1080i HD on its second subchannel due to a lack of a sister full-power station, and both GetTV and Escape in 480i on their respective third and fourth subchannels in addition to carrying Univision programming on its main channel in 1080i HD.\nWATM-TV Johnstown, Pennsylvania In addition to carrying ABC programming in 720p on its first subchannel, WATM-TV transmits Fox programming of its sister station, WWCP-TV, in 720p on its second subchannel. This enables the WWCP-TV signal to reach the State College area. WATM-TV further transmits This TV and Antenna TV programming in 480i on its third and fourth subchannels, respectively.\nWKTV Utica, New York In addition to carrying NBC programming in 1080i on its first subchannel, WKTV transmits CBS programming on its second subchannel and The CW on its third subchannel, both in 720p HD (in the case of WKTV-DT2, this differs from CBS's preferred 1080i HD format). The station also offers MeTV programming in 480i 4:3 SD on its fourth subchannel.\nWTVG Toledo, Ohio In addition to carrying ABC programming in 720p on its first subchannel, WTVG-TV transmits The CW programming in 720p on its second subchannel. This allows Toledo, Findlay, and surrounding areas to receive CW programming over-the-air; in the past CW and WB programming was exclusive to local cable viewers through Buckeye CableSystem via their cable-only Toledo 5 channel, requiring antenna viewers to pull in WKBD-TV/Detroit from the north for CW programming. WTVG-TV further transmits WeatherNation TV in 480i on its third subchannel.\nWGEM-TV Quincy, Illinois The station broadcasts four subchannels in total, all in HD: the main subchannel in 1080i, and three additional subchannels in 720p.\nOutside the United States \u2013 especially in Europe \u2013 high-definition feeds are rarer, and most countries only provide a single high-definition service for each broadcaster. For example, in France, there are only five HD services: one each for TF1, France 2, Canal+, M6 and Arte; in the United Kingdom, four HD services are currently transmitted over terrestrial frequencies: BBC One HD, BBC Two HD, ITV HD and Channel 4 HD (S4C Clirlun is broadcast in Wales instead of Channel 4 HD).[5]\nTelevision applications\nIn the United States, digital subchannels have been used to provide programming from multiple major networks on a single television station. This has become prevalent since the late 2000s in smaller markets that have as few as one or two commercial stations, which during the era of analog television, would not have been able to carry the complete programming lineups of all four major commercial networks (CBS, NBC, ABC and Fox) because of the station's own local and syndicated programming commitments, and overlapping network programs that would be tough to schedule outside of regular timeslots. A prime example is the Wheeling, West Virginia/Steubenville, Ohio market, which for decades was home to only two stations (CBS affiliate WTRF-TV and NBC affiliate WTOV-TV; the cable-only WBWO also served the market as a WB and now as a CW affiliate) and had to mostly rely on stations in Pittsburgh (and to a lesser extent Columbus and Youngstown, Ohio) to view programming from other networks. However, the advent of digital television allowed WTRF to launch two digital channels (one as a primary Fox/secondary MyNetworkTV affiliate, the other affiliated with ABC) while still carrying CBS programming in full on its main signal (WTOV later took the Fox affiliation for its second subchannel in September 2014).[4]\nUpon their launches in September 2006, The CW and MyNetworkTV were among the first conventional networks to actively utilize subchannel-only affiliations in markets where a standalone station is not available to affiliate with; this is particularly true of The CW's small-market feed, The CW Plus, which originally consisted mostly of cable-only affiliations (by way of inheriting the model and much of the affiliate body of predecessor The WB 100+ Station Group). Since its launch, affiliates of other major networks have taken over the operations of cable-only CW Plus affiliates (or even outright replacing WB 100+ cable channels at the launch of The CW) and began transmitting the service over subchannels to reach viewers who do not subscribe to a pay television service. Some Spanish language networks (such as MundoFox, Estrella TV and Mexicanal) have also been carried on digital subchannels, either as subchannel-exclusive services or to provide programming to markets where a main channel affiliation may not be available. Other stations have launched subchannels with an independent station format on their DT2 signals (such as WTTV in Indianapolis, Indiana \u2013 a market with enough commercial stations able to support affiliations with all six networks and a standalone independent, although the seventh (WTTK) instead acts as a WTTV satellite \u2013 which converted its 4.2 subchannel as an independent station in January 2015 as a result of owner Tribune Media selling the local rights to the CW affiliation that was to move from its main feed on 4.1 to WISH-TV, whose CBS affiliation was assumed by WTTV).[6][7]\nDigital subchannels are also used to relay stations beyond their traditional signal coverage areas to reach an entire market. In the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and northern Minnesota, many of these stations are on duplicate frequencies to cover a large market area. This is used to duplicate network service for stations that are part of duopolies, where transmitters scattered through a large geographical area allow multiple networks and channels to be carried. The most prominent example is the Granite Broadcasting Corporation's virtual quadropoly in Duluth, Minnesota, which consists of two separate full-power stations, NBC affiliate KBJR-TV and CBS affiliate KDLH, which combined carry three subchannels (two affiliated with major networks \u2013 CW Plus affiliate \"Northland CW 2\" on KDLH and MyNetworkTV affiliate \"My9\" on KBJR \u2013 and the third, a local weather subchannel on KBJR). While KDLH carries the CW subchannel on their DT2 feed and KBJR carries the MyNetworkTV subchannel on its DT2 feed on their primary signals, all five channels are carried on satellite station KRII in Chisholm, providing the Iron Range region (located north of Duluth) programming from networks that were previously unavailable over-the-air. In the Traverse City-Cheboygan market in Upper Michigan, NBC affiliate WPBN/WTOM also simulcasts sister station WGTU/WGTQ, providing that station's ABC programming to the entire market; CBS affiliate WWTV/WWUP carries its Fox-affiliated sister WFQX/WFUP on their DT2 subchannel to expand their coverage area further north into the eastern portion of the Upper Peninsula.\nIn many cases, these \"new\" channels are existing secondary channels that were carried by a low-power or Class A station or by a cable television channel. Often, the owner of a full-power television station acquires or already owns a low-power secondary station in the same market to carry another network. The use of a digital subchannel on a full-power television station as a replacement for low-power station greatly increases the available coverage area for its programming.\nBecause of interference issues that stations transmitting on the low VHF band (channels 2 to 6) often experience, some stations broadcasting on these frequencies are relayed on the subchannels of stations that are less prone to interference. An example of this is CBS affiliate WRGB in Albany, New York. While WRGB broadcasts its main digital on VHF channel 6 in high definition, CW-affiliated sister station WCWN relays a standard-definition subchannel feed of WRGB over its digital channel 45.\nNetworks dedicated to sports programming have been launched specifically for use on digital subchannels. Until 2010, CBS affiliates often subdivided four temporary subchannels in order to show all of the early round games of the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament in addition to those broadcast on the main digital channel (this was superseded as a result of a new television agreement with the NCAA that took effect in 2011, which gave cable networks TBS, TNT and TruTV partial rights to the tournament). Most of the major professional sports leagues, however, have strict prohibitions against using subchannels for carrying multiple game broadcasts and only allow one game to be aired in a market at one time (outside of Los Angeles, where if the Rams and Chargers play at the same time, Fox is allowed to broadcast the second game on MyNetworkTV affiliate KCOP-TV, or CBS on independent KCAL-TV, depending on the game's carrier that specific week); all four of the major sports leagues (the NFL, the NBA, Major League Baseball and the NHL) have out-of-market sports packages that require a pay television subscription and generate significant revenue for the leagues.\nMost sports programming on digital subchannel broadcasters has been relegated to low-budget content such as amateur athletics, extreme sports, and hunting and fishing programming geared toward outdoorsmen, though minor league baseball, American Hockey League hockey and other minor league sports may also be seen. Prominent team sports programming on digital subchannels is rare; the general trend for sports programming tends to eschew the free-to-air model that digital subchannels use, and the cost of rights fees for most sports requires that they air on channels that air on cable and satellite television services and thus can recuperate costs through retransmission consent. Channels such as Sportsman Channel (and the now-defunct Universal Sports) that began as digital subchannel networks now operate as cable and satellite-exclusive services. There are nonetheless a few multicast channels that have broadcast familiar sports programs: Bounce TV, for instance, carried college football from historically black colleges and universities until 2013.\nIn January 2016, Sinclair Broadcast Group launched a 24-hour feed of its American Sports Network sports syndication service on subchannels of ten stations owned and/or operated by the group; the ASN multicast network was subsequently replaced by Stadium in August 2017, following the formation of a multi-platform network venture with the Chicago White Sox's Silver Chalice unit and 120 Sports.\nLocal and informational channels\nAlthough not to the same level as in the late 2000s due to the population of entertainment-based multicast services, many local stations have used or currently use subchannels to carry continuous news or local weather content; in particular, there have been at least four networks that have been created to serve this audience: NBC Weather Plus (a service exclusive to NBC stations that operated from 2004 to 2008), The AccuWeather Channel, WeatherNation TV (which also maintains limited exclusive distribution on pay television services) and TouchVision. Locally programmed news subchannels (such as News 9 Now / News on 6 Now on KWTV in Oklahoma City and KOTV in Tulsa, Oklahoma or NewsChannel 5+ on WTVF in Nashville, Tennessee) often carry rebroadcasts and simulcasts of local news programs seen on the station's main feed, in some cases displaying a ticker with news headlines and weather forecasts to provide updated information.\nSubchannels also allow stations to air news programs without fully pre-empting normally scheduled programing on the station's main feed. During significant breaking news or severe weather events, for instance, a station may choose to air extended news coverage on either its main channel or a subchannel and air network programming on the other. Thus, the station can accommodate viewers wanting to watch either regular programming or news coverage. Some sports leagues, most notably the NFL, have strict rules against their game broadcasts airing on a subchannel.\nSince the late 2000s, entertainment-based specialty networks (also known as \"diginets\") have been created specifically for subchannels, most commonly those dedicated to airing reruns of classic television series (such as Me-TV, the Retro Television Network, Cozi TV and Antenna TV) and movies (such as This TV, GetTV and Movies!). Some networks (such as the African-American focused Bounce TV, the female-targeted Escape and the male-targeted Grit) feature programming aimed at specific demographics. With few exceptions (such as Bounce TV and the now-defunct Live Well Network), diginets typically do not offer first-run original programming, relying on acquired content from programming distributors (most popularly, television series from the 1980s and earlier) to fill their schedules.[8] Some stations (such as K38IZ-D in Phoenix, Arizona) carry locally programmed channels offering classic television shows and music videos on their digital subchannels. With MTV's shift away from music videos since the 1990s, subchannel networks focusing entirely on music videos have also been attempted (such as ZUUS Country, Heartland, Tr3s and TheCoolTV), however many have either been unable to gain national coverage or have lost significant market share due to various issues (for example, LIN Media, the Sinclair Broadcast Group and the Journal Broadcast Group terminated or opted against renewing deals with TheCoolTV between 2011 and 2013; Journal, in particular, cited TheCoolTV parent Cool Music Network, LLC's failure to pay licensing fees behind its removal of the network in a lawsuit filed against the company in 2011).\nAlthough the revenue potential is limited, many broadcasters have found subchannel-only networks to be a means of generating extra advertising revenue, as they are easily marketable to a given demographic (although they do not enjoy the same retransmission consent revenue stream from cable providers as other networks do).[9] There have been a few notable holdouts as late as 2014 such as the Meredith Corporation (only a few of its stations have subchannels, and some of these primarily carry only local news or weather services, or in the case of WGGB-TV/Springfield, Massachusetts, allows a Fox subchannel affiliate to operate in a market with limited full-power signals traditionally beholden in the past to the Hartford, Connecticut market to the south for CBS, Fox, WB and UPN affiliates besides WGGB's ABC programming and WWLP's NBC affiliation) and the Nexstar Broadcasting Group (which previously used subchannels for the sole purposes of simulcasting co-owned/managed sister stations to reach an entire market or to carry programming from major networks in smaller markets, and often eliminated subchannels affiliated with multicast services following station acquisitions). Nexstar has since added multicast services such as Bounce TV and WeatherNation TV on some of its stations. Unlike the major broadcast networks, diginets carried by local stations not associated with the five major networks or MyNetworkTV are often carried on higher cable channel placements (usually within the digital cable tiers) not readily found by most subscribers.[9] Satellite and IPTV providers generally do not carry multicast networks unless the local station also secondarily carries a major network on that subchannel.\nMost diginets reach affiliation agreements with a limited number of station owners prior to launch, before expanding their national coverage through additional deals made after their debut (by comparison, Fox, The CW, MyNetworkTV and to a lesser extent, The WB and UPN, had initial station coverage reaching 60%+ of all U.S. television households through affiliation deals that were largely made before their launches, in order to have wide distribution in at least the top 100 markets). Since the majority of multicast networks are carried on major network affiliates, some full-power stations are recitant about further compressing bitrate space to fit more than one subchannel at the expense of the picture quality of their high-definition main feed. As well, in markets with fewer than six stations, available subchannel space is tighter and some multicast networks may not be able to gain affiliations especially if one of the stations uses a subchannel for the primary purpose of carrying programming from a major network (which are also often transmitted in HD, limiting bitrate space). Some networks remedy this in certain markets by affiliating with low-power stations that do not carry a major network. As of 2014, only 12 primarily subchannel-only networks reach at least 50% of all U.S. markets (with MeTV, which is available in 91% of the country \u2014 a national reach comparable to the six major commercial networks and PBS \u2014 being the largest).[9]\nDiginets with wider national coverage and decent viewership are more likely to attract major advertisers, although most rely on smaller-scale advertisers such as national law firms, mortgage providers and direct response advertisers. Multicast networks often make barter deals to secure affiliations in which advertising inventory is split between the network and the station,[9] however some networks enter into subchannel leasing deals (often if they are unable to secure sufficient cable distribution), in which the network handles the sale of advertising inventory and pays its affiliates a monthly licensing fee to carry its programming.[8][10]\nMany PBS member stations around the United States broadcast their main channel in high definition and up to three standard definition subchannels; however, a few reconfigure their digital channels depending on daypart, carrying four standard definition channels during the daytime, reducing them to one HD and one SD channel at night due to technical limitations at the station's level that may prevent it from carrying PBS programming in HD full-time and maintain multiple full-time subchannels like other member stations. PBS stations often carry additional national channels such as PBS HD (PBS Satellite Service), PBS Kids, World, and Create. In the Washington, D.C. area, MHz Networks is available as ten subchannels transmitted by two stations, with their virtual channels mapped uniformally, making them appear as if they are transmitted by one station.\nIn some U.S. states, statewide educational, cultural or public affairs services are carried on a digital subchannel of a PBS member station or network (such as the Minnesota Channel, Wisconsin Channel or New York State broadcaster ThinkBright TV). The use of subchannels has also allowed educational television broadcasters to sell off former secondary PBS analogue stations to commercial broadcasters (such as WNEQ in Buffalo, which its sister station WNED-TV sold in 1999 to LIN TV (now owned by Media General) to become WNLO, now a CW affiliate), as the additional educational content these separate stations once provided can now be carried by multiple subchannels of a single parent station. Subchannels also allow some educational stations to devote an entire channel to telecourses, which are recorded by instructors and students for later use, allowing the station's main channel to air a generalized schedule in the morning and overnight hours.\nA digital subchannel can be used to restore service from a station that has been knocked off the air due to an antenna tower collapse; the affected signal would be made available in standard-definition, or even in compressed high definition, on a subchannel of another local station, most often a competitor. ABC affiliate KATV in Little Rock, Arkansas was forced to follow this path in 2008, moving its digital signal to a subchannel of MyNetworkTV affiliate KWBF (now KARZ-TV) after a tower collapse knocked its main signal offline. The virtual channel numbering scheme allows an existing licensed broadcaster to keep its displayed channel number unchanged (in the case of KATV, PSIP channel 7) even if the signal is carried physically as a subchannel of another local station.\nDuring the Station Fire in 2009, NBC owned-and-operated station KNBC in Los Angeles temporarily replaced programming from NBC Plus and Universal Sports on its subchannels with standard-definition feeds of its two Spanish language sister stations \u2013 independent station KWHY-TV (now a MundoFox affiliate, since sold to the Mueriello Group) and Telemundo owned-and-operated station KVEA \u2013 as an emergency measure in the event that the transmitters of those stations were destroyed or disabled as the fire reached Mount Wilson, where the transmitter facilities of most Los Angeles area stations are based.\nData, radio and non-public signals\nIn rare cases, digital television broadcasters have included a service known as DTV radio, in which the audio of a commonly owned broadcast radio station is simulcast over a subchannel (for instance, KPJK in San Mateo, California broadcasts former FM sister KCSM on its DT3 signal). WANN-CD in Atlanta offers six radio stations owned by iHeartMedia, in addition to ten television channels.\nNon-broadcast content, subscription television channels or datacasting operations unrelated to the main television programming are also permitted by the digital television standards but are less-commonly used. USDTV was an over-the-air pay television service that used H.264 compression instead of standard MPEG-2. Mobile DTV now uses MPEG-4 compression, which like H.264 yields a much lower bitrate for the same video quality. For example, the Sezmi TV/DVR service uses broadcast digital subchannels (not in the clear) in selected cities to stream a limited number of \"cable\" channels to its subscribers for an additional fee to supplement its otherwise free digital video recorder (DVR) service allowing recordings of local broadcast channels and free and subscription internet content.\nDigital television supports multiple digital subchannels if the 19.39 Mbit/s (megabits per second) bitstream is divided. Therefore, station managers and broadcast engineers could run any of the following scenarios using one 6 MHz channel (note that the actual bitrate moves up and down, due to usage of variable bitrate encoding):\nHDTV channels\n1\u00d7 1080i or 720p HDTV (19 Mbit/s) No additional subchannels.\n1\u00d7 1080i or 720p HDTV (15 Mbit/s) + 1 480p or 480i SD subchannel (~3.8 Mbit/s)\n1\u00d7 1080i or 720p HDTV (11 Mbit/s) + 1 720p HDTV (8 Mbit/s) subchannel\n1\u00d7 1080i or 720p HDTV (11 Mbit/s) + 2 480p or 480i SD subchannels (~3.8 Mbit/s each)\n1\u00d7 720p HDTV channel (8 Mbit/s) + 3 480p or 480i SD subchannels (~3.8 Mbit/s each)\n2\u00d7 720p HDTV channels (9.6 Mbit/s each) No SD subchannels\n2\u00d7 720p HDTV channels (7.8 Mbit/s each) + 1 480p or 480i SD subchannel (~3.8 Mbit/s)\nNo HDTV channels + 2 480p or 480i SD subchannels (~6 Mbit/s each)\nNo HDTV channels + 4 480p or 480i SD subchannels (~4.2 Mbit/s each)\nNo HDTV channels + 10 480p or 480i SD subchannels (~1.9 Mbit/s each)\nNo HDTV channels +120 mono radio subchannels (~0.2 Mbit/s each)\nWith improvements in MPEG encoding, and tighter VBR encoding, more subchannels can be combined. 1\u00d7720p + 4\u00d7480i is becoming more common.\nFor a frame rate of 30p or 60i, uncompressed DTV channels have the following data rates in megapixels per second:\n640\u00d7480i60/p30 (NTSC SDTV): 9.216\n704\u00d7480i60/p30 (ATSC wide SDTV): 10.1376\n720\u00d7480i60/p30 (NTSC DVD): 10.368\n1280\u00d7720p30: 27.648\n1920\u00d71080i60/p30: 62.208\n704\u00d7576i50/p25 (PAL SDTV): 10.1376\n720\u00d7576i50/p25 (PAL DVD): 10.368\n1280\u00d7720p25: 23.04\n1920\u00d71080i50/p25: 51.84\nFor ATSC, these must be compressed into 19.4Mbit/s total per physical 6 MHz RF channel over the air, and 38.8Mbit/s for cable.\nVarious forms of digital radio also allow for multiple program streams.\nIn-band on-channel (IBOC), digital radio technology allowing digital subchannels on FM stations\nDAB and DVB, international digital radio-television standards in use in Europe, Australia and New Zealand\nQAM tuner\n^ \"Decision CRTC 12-446\".

It broadcasts a high-definition digital signal on UHF channel 14 (or virtual channel 4 via PSIP) from a transmitter near Hinton, Iowa. Owned by Quincy Media, KTIV maintains studio facilities on Signal Hill Drive in Sioux City.\nKTIV also carries The CW, which replaced The WB network in September 2006, on its 4.2 digital subchannel, and on June 6, 2013, the station launched a third digital subchannel on 4.3, identifying locally as MeTV Siouxland.\nKUNA-LP\nKUNA-LP is a low-powered Telemundo-affiliated television station licensed to Indio, California, United States, serving Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley. It broadcasts an analog signal on UHF channel 15 from a transmitter in the Indio Hills.\nOwned by the News-Press & Gazette Company, it is a sister station to Palm Springs-licensed ABC affiliate KESQ-TV (channel 42), Cathedral City-licensed Class A CBS affiliate KPSP-CD (channel 38), Class A Fox affiliate KDFX-CD (channel 33.2, licensed to both Indio and Palm Springs), and Palm Springs-licensed low-powered CW affiliate KCWQ-LD (channel 2). The five stations share studios on Dunham Way in Thousand Palms.\nDue to its low-powered status, KUNA-LP does not broadcast a digital signal of its own, and there are no immediate plans to convert the station's signal to digital. However, the station is simulcast in high definition on KPSP's second digital subchannel (UHF channel 38.8 or virtual channel 15.1 via PSIP), and in standard definition on KESQ's eighth digital subchannel (UHF channel 42.8 or virtual channel 15.2 via PSIP). Both KPSP and KESQ transmit from Edom Hill northeast of Cathedral City and I-10.\nKUVE-DT\nKUVE-DT, virtual channel 46 (UHF digital channel 34), is a Univision owned-and-operated television station serving Tucson, Arizona, United States that is licensed to Green Valley. The station is owned by the Univision Local Media subsidiary of Univision Communications, as part of a duopoly with Douglas-licensed UniM\u00e1s owned-and-operated station KFTU-DT (channel 3). The two stations share studios on Forbes Boulevard in Tucson; KUVE's transmitter is located atop Mount Bigelow.\nKUVE operates a low-power Class A translator station: KUVE-CD (virtual channel 42, UHF digital channel 36), licensed to Tucson; this station's transmitter is located atop the Tucson Mountains. KUVE-CD serves the northwest parts of the metropolitan area shielded from the primary station by Mount Lemmon. KUVE-DT is also rebroadcast on the second digital subchannel of KFTU-DT, whose transmitter is located on Juniper Flats Road northwest of Bisbee. Likewise, KFTU is rebroadcast on KUVE's second digital subchannel.\nKUVE is a semi-satellite of Phoenix-based KTVW-DT (channel 33). It broadcasts an identical schedule to KTVW, including their newscast, Noticias 33, although the stations maintain separate broadcast facilities. However, a three-hour overnight segment of locally-produced programming is seen on KUVE on Monday mornings, to comply with KUVE-CD's Class A license. Master control and most internal operations for KUVE and KFTU are based at KTVW's studios on 30th Street in southern Phoenix.\nKYCW-LD\nKYCW-LD, virtual channel 25 (UHF digital channel 19), is a CW-affiliated television station licensed to Branson, Missouri, United States. Owned by Gray Television, it is a sister station to Springfield-licensed NBC affiliate KYTV (channel 3) and ABC affiliate KSPR-LD (channel 33). The three stations share studios on West Sunshine Street in Springfield; KYCW-LD's transmitter is located on Switchgrass Road, north of Fordland.\nKYCW-LD's low-powered digital broadcasting radius does not reach the entire market. Therefore, KYCW-LD is simulcast in standard definition on KYTV's third digital subchannel (UHF channel 44.5, mapped to virtual channel 33.2 via PSIP) from a transmitter located in Fordland. KYCW-LD is also simulcast on the second digital subchannel of low-power stations KSPR-LD and K17DL-D. KYCW-LD uses the same transmitter and tower facilities as the defunct KGHZ (formerly KSPR until a February 2017 channel shuffle), which had their license turned into the FCC on May 31, 2017 as part of the FCC's 2016 spectrum auction, albeit at a lower power to meet KYCW-LD's license requirements.\nKZSJ\nKZSJ (1120 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a World Ethnic format. Licensed to San Martin, California, United States, it serves the South Santa Clara County area. The station is currently owned by Bustos Media Holdings.

        "raw_content": "Travel Memoirs: Travel Stories of Foreigners in France\nAn analysis of the common elements found in travel memoirs including description of cultural differences and adjustment to the new culture. Several French travel memoirs are used as examples.\nTo say that the experience of living in a different culture is life-altering is an understatement. The idea of traveling conjures a wide range of images and emotions: fear, wonder, homesickness, respite, incomprehension, appreciation, embarrassment, accomplishment, irritation, and pleasure. Many travelers have the inclination to write about the experience of immersion in another country. Travel memoirs are the outflow of the desire to share the adventures of one\u2019s journey with others.\nKai Mikkonen says that \u201cSince the time of the Greek epics different types of journey\u2014the quest, the odyssey, and the adventure\u2014have served as powerful masterplots in literary narratives\u201d (Mikkonen 287). Because of its relation to quests, the travel memoir as a sub-genre of autobiography shares many commonalities with another branch of self-narratives, the spiritual autobiography. In both branches of autobiography, travel writings and spiritual narratives, the author has endeavored upon a quest either metaphorically, literally, or both (Staude 257). The majority of confessional autobiographies contain common elements (Staude 258). Likewise nearly all travel memoirs follow a characteristic pattern.\nCommon Elements in Travel Memoirs\nDescription of the new culture\nAdjusting to the new culture\nCommon Elements of Travel Memoirs\nThe author first describes his or her homeland and what life is like there. Also included are the reasons that have prompted the journey. Then the actual journey is described along with what Mikkonen calls \u201cencounters on the road\u201d (Mikkonen 286). This is followed by the arrival in the new place and the author\u2019s acclimatization. The process of becoming accustomed is usually given the most in depth treatment in the narrative. The author typically talks about culture shock, feeling like an outsider, and unfamiliarity with the local way of life. After a period of adjustment, the author usually begins to adapt to local customs and procedures and begins to feel a part of that society. Nearly all the memoirists express a sense of accomplishment and victory as they begin to get the hang of their new lifestyle. Another frequent theme is reverse culture shock when returning to the former culture.\nFrench Travel Memoirs as Examples\nThe common elements of travel autobiographies are evident in the memoirs Almost French by Sarah Turnbull, Foreigners in France: Triumphs and Disasters edited by Joe and Kerry Laredo, and A Year in Provence and Toujours Provence by Peter Mayle.\nSarah Turnbull is an Australian journalist who took a sabbatical to travel through Europe for a year. She met a Frenchman, Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric while in Romania and then went to Paris to visit him. Turnbull fell in love with him and decided to move to Paris to be with him. In her memoir, Almost French, she talks about her experiences relocating to a different country and an unfamiliar culture (Leistensnider 1949).\nForeigners in France: Triumphs and Disasters is a collection of twenty memoirs from people who have relocated to France. The majority of the people moved either because of work or the desire for a different pace of life. The expatriates recount their positive and negative experiences with their move to France.\nPeter Mayle and his wife are expatriates from England who moved to Provence. A Year in Provence and Toujours Provence are memoirs about their new life in the Lub\u00e9ron. Mayle talks about adjusting to the Provencal lifestyle and the adventures he and his wife have had repairing their house, dealing with the locals, and learning about the French.\nAlmost French: Love and a New Life in Paris\nReasons for Traveling: Background\nAll of these autobiographies include background information about the autobiographer\u2019s former life and the reasons for their relocation. Turnbull was a television reporter in Sydney, Australian. She planned to travel around Europe for a year and, as she says \u201cimmerse myself in fascinating foreign cultures [and] to work as a freelance journalist in Eastern Europe\u201d (Turnbull vii). Weather was Mayle\u2019s main impetus for moving to France. He describes England as being perpetually cloudy. Provence was a dream for him and his wife. He says:\nWe had been here often before as tourists, desperate for our annual ration\u2026of true heat and sharp light. Always when we left\u2026we promised ourselves that one day we would live here. We had talked about it during the long gray winters and the damp green summers, looked with an addict\u2019s longing at photographs of village markets\u2026dreamed of being woken up by the sun slanting through the bedroom window. (Mayle, A Year in Provence 4)\nMike and Suzie Broderick wrote a memoir about their move to France that is in Foreigners in France. In their autobiography they describe their former life in England. The Brodericks talk about their reasons for moving to France. They had begun to think \u201cabout a new life, new challenges and taking things a bit easier\u201d (Laredo 78). The prospect of opening a bed and breakfast was also an impetus to relocate (Laredo 79).\nMany of the travel memoirs include what happened to them along the way to their destination and the transition experience. Turnbull had not even planned to visit Paris. After meeting Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric she acted on impulse and moved to France to be with him. A chance encounter on the road led to an even bigger adventure than she had planned (Leistensnider 1949). Mayle describes their move by saying, \u201csomewhat to our surprise, we had done it. We had committed ourselves. We had bought a house, taken French lessons, said our good-byes, shipped over our two dogs, and become foreigners\u201d (Mayle 4). One couple who moved to France discusses the problems they had with the actual process of moving from England. They complain about the moving company by saying, \u201cThe removal lorry broke down and they couldn\u2019t send a replacement\u2026they underestimated the volume to be transported \u2013 all this resulting in a thirty-six-hour delay, our rugs left on the lawn\u2026Jonathan\u2019s [the husband] shirts and pullovers had been used to wrap fragile items\u201d (Laredo 103).\nForeigners in France by Joe and Kerry Laredo\nForeigners in France: Triumphs & Disasters\nDescription of the Memoirists' New Life\nThe next part of most travel narratives is the arrival at the destination, the description of the locale. E. Stuart Bates analyzes adventure memoir and notes that \u201cA great deal of detail is given, in consequence of the author seeing this country and its ways from outside, after journeys and residence abroad; the kind of detail that enables us the better to visualize\u201d (Bates 130) the scene.\nTurnbull depicts her new romantic setting in Paris. She thinks that \u201cSimple discoveries seem extraordinary\u201d (Turnbull 21). She gets a personal tour of the city from the back of her boyfriend\u2019s motorbike. Turnbull writes, \u201cMost thrilling of all is riding at night when millions of winking lights wake the city\u2019s monuments. The Eiffel Tower loses its metallic flatness and glows a lovely amber\u201d (Turnbull 22). Mayle describes the area where he and his wife have settled in such a way that it is nearly visible to the reader: \u201cWild flowers, thyme, lavender, and mushrooms grow between the rocks and under the trees, and from the summit on a clear day the view is of the Basses-Alpes on one side and the Mediterranean on the other\u201d (Mayle, A Year in Provence 5). Dung Rahuel, whose memoir is included in Foreigners in France, describes the way Paris looked to her when she first arrived: \u201cI was shocked to see Parisians running here and there, in department stores, in the street, in underground corridors. They were packed like sardines in underground coaches at rush hours. They ran and ran, seeing no one on their way\u201d (Laredo 48).\nDescribing Culture Differences in Memoir\nBates says that travel autobiographers also discuss \u201cthe costumes, food, dwellings, and customs\u201d (Bates 130) of the foreign country. Turnbull talks about the \u201cuniform\u201d that seemingly all French women wear\u2014\u201clittle skirts and figure-hugging tops\u2026Sophistication seemed to ooze from every gesture, their habit of drinking wine in tiny, unhurried sips, the nonchalant way they waved their cigarettes in the air\u201d (Turnbull 167).\nFrench food is one of the most common aspects of the culture mentioned. Mayle goes into especially profound detail as he describes the food he has eaten while in Provence. One of his lunches consisted of:\nA flan of foie gras in a thick but delicate sauce of wild mushrooms and asparagus was followed by homemade sausages of Sisteron lamb and sage with a confiture of sweet red onions and, in a separate flat dish, a gratin of potato that was no thicker than my napkin, a single crisp layer that dissolved on the tongue. (Mayle, Toujours Provence 170)\nTurnbull describes the enormous portions of a meal she ate at a dinner party by saying, \u201cI [made] the mistake of taking two helpings, unaware that four other courses\u2026follow\u2026By the end of the meal, my trousers [were] slicing into my waist\u201d (Turnbull 48).\nIn her book Interpreting the Self Diane Bjorklund talks about the way societies shapes individuals. She says the \u201cidea of culture provided an environmental explanation for differences in human behavior\u201d (Bjorklund 128). The culture that one is born into and grows up is the cultural identity that a person will adopt. Becoming part of another culture is a difficult process. This is evident in the travel memoirs. In her discussion about minority autobiographers writing about their experiences in the dominant culture Bjorklund says that:\nThese autobiographers do not write in terms of self versus society but of the differences between their group and the dominant culture, even though this opposition is played out for them on the individual level. They may express fear that pressures to assimilate will suppress their own unique culture and consequently the basis of their identity. (Bjorklund 153)\nFitting into a new culture is further complicated when a person is not a native speaker of the main language of the new country. Bjorklund articulates this by stating that \u201cSuch a language [difference] is a barrier to assimilation, and it represents a clearly perceived difference from the majority\u201d (Bjorklund 148).\nProvence Memoirs by Peter Mayle\nDescribing Culture Shock\nThe travel memoirists express the difficulties they have had acclimatizing themselves in France. Many feel like they are outsiders and simply are not a part of what is going on around them. Turnbull experiences this most keenly while at a dinner party during which she was ignored by the guests. She expresses her isolation from the rest of the group by saying that \u201cAlthough surrounded by noise and people I feel apart. Alien.\u201d (Turnbull 49). The Brodericks also talk about their sense of being apart. They write, \u201cIn the early days, we felt like fish out of water. We didn\u2019t know anyone, we didn\u2019t understand very much and we had to survive\u2026It was a rather strange feeling of being totally alienated from the world that we had known and were familiar with\u201d (Laredo 83).\nHomesickness and culture shock often accompanies the sense of isolation. When she first moved to Paris, Turnbull spent most of her time in her apartment trying to find work. She talks about missing being in an office with other people and missing her old life. Turnbull says, \u201cI\u2019d kill for a bit of office noise now\u2026I miss my friends. I miss sun and light and can\u2019t help wincing when someone at home tells me what an incredible summer Sydney is having\u201d (Turnbull 59). Martina Nowottnick talks about falling \u201cinto a deep hole of discouragement and passivity\u201d (Laredo 93) because the language barrier kept her from making friends like she was able to at home.\nEven if the \u00e9migr\u00e9 speaks the language, most travelers experience a language barrier when moving to a country where their native tongue is not spoken. Nearly all of the autobiographers being examined have trouble adapting to speaking French. Turnbull had only a basic knowledge of French before moving to Paris. She expresses her difficulty with the language: \u201cInside, I fizz with frustration at my inability to communicate\u2026But it was as though in trying to express myself in another language I\u2019d suddenly plunged fifty IQ points\u201d (Turnbull 47). The Provencal accent was even harder for Mayle and his wife to understand. He describes their difficulties with the language:\nThe language spoken was French, but it was not the French we had studied in textbooks and heard on cassettes; it was a rich, soupy patois\u2026Half-familiar sounds could be dimly recognized as words through the swirls and eddies of Provencal\u2026That by itself would not have been a problem had the words been spoken at normal conversational speed and without embroidery, but they were delivered like bullets from a machine gun, often with an extra vowel tacked on to the end for good luck. (Mayle, A Year in Provence 6)\nMost of the autobiographers in Foreigners in France talk about being surprised \u201cto find out how much [they] didn\u2019t know\u201d (Laredo 82).\nThe language barrier is often complicated for the travelers because of the difficulties wading through French bureaucracy and le Syst\u00e8me D (Platt 91). Without fail, autobiographers discussing their experiences in France mention their problems with le Syst\u00e8me D and not knowing how to accomplish what they need. Mayle describes le Syst\u00e8me D as \u201cthe national sport of paper gathering\u201d (Mayle 21). It took Turnbull and Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric months to gather all the paperwork necessary to get married. She says, \u201cdeciding to marry in France sends us hurtling back into space toward that familiar planet of paperwork where nothing is simple and straightforward\u201d (Turnbull 299). Sonia Blaney\u2019s memoirs are included in Foreigners in France. When dealing with French bureaucracy she advises that \u201cIf you want something done, be prepared to be faced with lots of obstacles\u201d (Laredo 42).\nAssimilating into the New Culture\nEventually, the travelers begin to assimilate themselves into the culture. Communication becomes less of a struggle. The autobiographers express a sense of achievement and triumph when they feel like they are no longer on the outside looking in. When Turnbull successfully navigates le Syst\u00e8me D, it feels like a victory. She writes, \u201cWalking out of the mairie, the stamped document folded in my bag, I\u2019m filled with a sense of accomplishment\u201d (Turnbull 183). After a few years Turnbull starts to see\nsign[s] of progress. My progress. Surveying our dinner party, it strikes me that I have evolved on other fronts too. The food ritual and conversation, two sides of a coin elemental to French life, used to seem baffling and terribly foreign\u2026And I guess I\u2019ve adapted to the way French people interact and converse. (Turnbull 270-1)\nMayle also feels a sense of accomplishment when he and his wife become more proficient in French. He observes, \u201cOur French has improved, and the thought of spending an evening in totally French company is not as daunting as it used to be\u201d (Mayle, Toujours Provence 236). Martina, who felt so isolated and alone because she could not speak the language, met a Frenchwoman in a park one day. Her husband says that \u201cMartina wasn\u2019t sure whether she should ask her to stop by one day or not, because in the past all attempts to get into contact with Frenchwomen had failed. But she summoned all her courage and asked her \u2013 with success!\u201d (Laredo 97).\nThe travelers struggled to acclimate themselves to their new culture. Interestingly, once they are admitted into that new world, they are no longer fully a part of their old world. They experience reverse culture shock when visiting their former home but in their new country they have a permanent foreigner status. Explaining this mixture of cultures, Turnbull says, \u201cin France I may stand out as foreign yet in Australia I feel a bit foreign too\u201d (Turnbull 294). In a similar vein Mayle says, \u201cWe will never be more than permanent visitors in someone else\u2019s country, but we have been made welcome and happy\u201d (Mayle 241). When talking about her former home in the UK, Sonia Blaney states, \u201cI\u2026don\u2019t feel that I belong there any more\u201d (Laredo 45).\nGuides to French Culture for Foreigners\nSavoir-Flair: 211 Tips for Enjoying France and the French\nTravelogues share many similarities. The autobiographers describe their voyage, the scenery of the destination, the clash of cultures, and the eventual victory of admission into the new world. Memoirs of France have even more in common with each other. The nightmare that is le Syst\u00e8me D is balanced out by the exceptional food, slower pace of life, and the beauty of the country. Sarah Turnbull sums up her fascination with France:\nIf I had to pick one word to sum up my life in France, it\u2019d have to be \u2018adventure.\u2019 Every moment has been vivid, intensely felt. No doubt many people who live in a foreign country would say the same thing. But there is, I think, something that sets France apart from many other parts of the world. I know of no other country that is so fascinating yet so frustrating\u2026France is like a maddening, moody lover who inspires emotional highs and lows. One minute it fills you with a rush of passion, the next you\u2019re full of fury, itching to smack the mouth of some sneering shopkeeper or smug civil servant. Yes, it\u2019s a love\u2014hate relationship. But it\u2019s charged with so much mystery, longing and that French specialty\u2014s\u00e9duction\u2014that we can\u2019t resist coming back for more (Turnbull ix).\nMany have written memoirs about their experiences in France. It is a country that leaves its mark in the journeyer\u2019s spirit and the journeyer cannot help but share the experience.\nBates, E. Stuart. Inside Out: An Introduction to Autobiography.

        "raw_content": "As a $9.5 Billion Worldwide Criminal Enterprise, Human Trafficking is ALL Humanity\u2019s Problem\nBy Michael Kryzanek for GateHouse Media on October 19, 2013\u2014\n\u201cSister Ellen Powers of the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Brighton, who counsels young women caught in the sex trade here in Massachusetts, recently led a discussion at Holy Ghost Catholic Church in Whitman about how the trafficking of young women for prostitution has mushroomed into a hugely profitable criminal activity.\nThe sex trade is now a $9.5 billion worldwide criminal enterprise second only to international drug smuggling and distribution. It\u2019s estimated that over 700,000 persons are trafficked globally each year, with 17,000 persons brought here into the United States for prostitution.\nAlthough most of the notorious sex trade industry is centered in Asia, right here in Massachusetts, Ryan Duntin, 31, of Randolph was indicted earlier this month on multiple charges related to human trafficking.\nMany of the young women who end up as prostitutes are runaways or stuck in dire circumstances. Most are poor, desperate and fall victim to the money and the grand promises of a phony modeling or acting career by the pimps. Quickly, those dreams are shattered as they end up sex slaves \u2013 threatened, intimidated and beaten into submission by their pimps. They fear for their lives and see little chance of escaping and starting life anew.\nThere are some positive signs that human trafficking in our state is being addressed. After laying claim as one of only three states that had no public policy to deal with the victims of the sex trade, in 2011 the Legislature passed and Governor Deval Patrick signed one of the most comprehensive laws in the country to combat human trafficking.\nWithin a year, our state was viewed as the most improved in responding to the sex trade. With this law on the books, Attorney General Martha Coakley and local police began to dismantle networks of traffickers.\nAs part of the evening program at Holy Ghost, Sister Ellen showed a short movie about the sex trade in Vietnam. A young girl, barely 10, was separated from her mother and held in captivity by a criminal gang that catered to Asian men with an affinity for young females. After a few minutes, it was difficult to watch the movie and see this innocent child with little hope of escaping enslavement.\nSister Ellen was quick to remind us that the sex trade would be severely compromised if the men who seek out prostitutes were arrested in the same manner as the young women. In the current environment of prostitution here and elsewhere in this country, the men are often protected from prosecution or public embarrassment, while the young women are arrested and eventually end up back under the control of their pimps. It\u2019s a vicious cycle with few opportunities for the young women to change their lives.\u201d\nPosted in Human Trafficking, Human Trafficking Awareness, Sex Trafficking\nUW \u2018Human Trafficking + Supply Chains Forum\u2019\u2014Nov. 13\nFLORIDA: Third-Ranking in Human Trafficking Complaints",

        "raw_content": "December 7, 2018 by Chapman\nMissing your mortgage payment too many times in a row can be cause for serious concern. If you feel you are coming perilously close to losing your home, you should know that help is available. There are several Federal laws affecting foreclosure that you may be able to have recourse to in order to save your home. While nothing is guaranteed, it\u2019s still an excellent idea to gain more information about these laws and how they may be able to assist you in your time of greatest need.\nCan Filing for Bankruptcy Help You Save Your Home?\nFiling for bankruptcy may not be the first option you think about when looking for ways to save your home. You are most likely dreading the effect that a bankruptcy may have on your credit. It\u2019s certainly not a move you would make unless you were absolutely sure of facing foreclosure. But keep this mind: Filing for bankruptcy will automatically stay any foreclosing action that may have been initiated.\nYour Level of Bankruptcy Protection Depends on the Type\nOf course, the stay may not be permanent. Whether it is lifted or not will depend on whether the holder of the mortgage has any equity to speak of in the actual property. If you have filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11, the stay may be lifted either because you don\u2019t really have any equity of your own in the property or because the motion does not allow for adequate protection of any equity that the mortgage holder does have in that property.\nFiling a Straight Petition for Bankruptcy is Also Possible\nIf you have filed under a straight petition for bankruptcy, in the form of a statement in which you ask for the summary discharge of all your debts, your claim may be even more precarious. In this case, the holder of the mortgage will normally be allowed to proceed with foreclosing on your home if it turns out that you definitely have no equity in the property. Even if you do possess some level of is equity, your home could still be sold by the bankruptcy court.\nHow Can the Soldiers and Sailors Act Help Save Your Property?\nIf you are currently serving in our nation\u2019s armed forces and received your mortgage before you entered the military, you may be entitled to a special level of protection under the Soldiers and Sailors Relief Act of 1940. Of all the Federal laws affecting foreclosure, this may be the one that proves most useful to you. This special Act allows a service member to set aside the default judgment that immediately precedes the opening of foreclosing proceedings. The onus will then be on the holder of the mortgage to prove that the person who filed the claim is not a currently serving member of the military.\nYou Will Need to Be Present or Represented at the Hearing\nIf you are currently are serving in the armed forces, the mortgagor is in the armed services, you will have to be physically present or represented by an attorney at the hearing. This means that certain forms of the foreclosing process, such as point of sale, will not be permitted. It also means that if the court should rule that your ability to pay off your mortgage has been adversely affected by your service in the military, you will be granted an indefinite stay against all foreclosing proceedings while you are currently serving.\nIs It Better to File for Bankruptcy or Under the Soldiers and Sailors Act?\nYou may be wondering which of these two major alternatives is the right one for you to make use of in your time of need. If you are a service member, the Soldiers and Sailors Act may well be your best bet to get the time you need to pay your debts. This is a far better move than filing for bankruptcy. But if you are not a currently serving member of the armed forces, you will obviously not be taken seriously if you file under the Soldiers and Sailors Act. If you have exhausted all of your other resources and bankruptcy is the only way to gain breathing space, then you may as well take the plunge.\nFiling for Bankruptcy is Better Than Being Foreclosed On\nYou can take some solace in reflecting on the fact that filing for bankruptcy is at least superior to being foreclosed on. Although it will certainly do damage to your credit rating, this damage will be nowhere near as permanent as it would be after a foreclosure. Most lenders won\u2019t even consider you for a future home loan if they see that you have been foreclosed on in the past. With bankruptcy, you will at least have a fresh slate to start again from.\nIt can be hard to remain a home owner in the modern world. There are so many perils to face that can stack up against you when you least expect it. Defaulting on a mortgage payment is every home owner\u2019s nightmare, and for good reason. The thought of interest payments, late fees, and even being foreclosed upon is the stuff of nightmares. On top of it all, it\u2019s far easier to miss a mortgage payment than you may think. A lay off from your job or a serious illness that comes with a high insurance deductible can knock you off your feet. If the worst should occur and you lose your home, what then?\nCan Foreclosure Statutory Redemption Laws Help You Regain Your Lost Home?\nThere may be a chance that you could be able to regain the home you have lost due to the foreclosure process. A special set of foreclosure statutory redemption laws exist in some states. Thanks to these statutory redemption laws, you just might be able to claw back into a position to where you legally regain control of your property after first coming to a compromise with your creditors.\nWho do You Have to Deal With in Order to Reclaim Your Property?\nWhat\u2019s the catch? Statutory redemption laws allow the person who was foreclosed on to reclaim their property under one condition. You need to be able to pay the full amount of what your property sold for at the foreclosure sale. You will also need to pay a certain rate of interest, known as statutory rate of interest, to the person who bought the property at the sale. This person will, in almost every case, be the holder of your mortgage or their appointed trustee.\nHow Does the Statutory Redemption Process Work on Your Behalf?\nThe statutory redemption process will begin when you make a special demand, which must be made in writing, to the person who purchased your property at the sale. This demand will consist of a special request for a full statement of the monetary amount that will be required from you if you are going to reclaim your property. In other words, you are asking for an invoice that you can then determine whether or not you are able to pay.\nAfter You Receive Your Statement, It\u2019s Up to You to Pay It Off\nAfter the person who bought your house receives this demand, they will have a certain amount of time to send you a fully itemized statement of the amount that is required. The time limit for them to do so will vary according to the state you\u2019re in, but will generally be about 10 days. Once you receive this statement, you can make up your mind as to whether or not you intend to pay the bill and reclaim your home. Depending on state regulations, you may or may not have to foot the bill for any renovations that have been made to the property during the time it was in the hands of the purchaser.\nIf You Are Not Able to Pay, You Will Forfeit Your Claim\nAs noted above, once you have received your statement, it\u2019s up to you to pay or not pay it. If you are unwilling or unable to pay off the statement, you will have to forfeit any and all future claims on the property. The person who purchased the home at the sale will then be in possession of the title, as well as all rights and other interests in the property. If you are still living in the home after the sale has been concluded and you have forfeited your claim, you will likely be evicted. In any case, you now have no choice but to vacate the property or face prosecution on trespassing charges.\nHow Long Do You Have to Use the Statutory Redemption Clause?\nDepending on whether or not you live in a state that has a provision for the statutory redemption clause, you may have anywhere from 30 days to a full two years to make use of it. In many states, there are special rules on the statute that limit your ability to have recourse to it. For example, certain states will allow a judge to reduce or even revoke your right to use the statute if it is discovered that you have abandoned the property.\nIt\u2019s Important to Understand Your Statutory Redemption Rights\nBeing foreclosed on can be a painful and disorienting experience. It\u2019s important that you fully understand all of the rights that you possess. It\u2019s an excellent idea to meet with an attorney who can help you to understand and make full use of your statutory redemption rights. This is an excellent chance for you to reclaim your property and rebuild your life.\nIt isn\u2019t as hard as you think to fall behind on your mortgage payments. The loss of a job can put you behind in an instant. You can also just as easily fall victim to an illness or injury that your insurance company refuses to pay out the full amount of coverage on. Not every person \u2013 in fact, hardly any person \u2013 that falls behind on their mortgage should be looked at as a deadbeat or financial delinquent. Falling behind on your mortgage payments exposes you to a world of headaches, financial and otherwise. If you fall too far, you may be subjected to a series of penalties, including foreclosure.\nHow Are Foreclosure and Bankruptcy Related?\nYou may be wondering what your alternatives are if you are warned by your mortgage holder that the foreclosing process is about to begin. As it turns out, there are several that you may consider as a way forward from your present unfortunate situation. In some rare cases, you may be able to come to a compromise solution with the holder of your mortgage. For example, they may agree to a short sale of the property or a modification of the original loan. However, in most cases, they will not be so agreeable.\nWhat you should realize is that it takes time for the foreclosing process to begin. You will normally have two or three months to make back payments before the holder of the mortgage makes up their mind to act against you. During this time, if you cannot make the payments, you can still suggest other alternatives. These may range from an extension on the mortgage to a deed in lieu of foreclosure. If all else fails, you can close the link between foreclosure and bankruptcy by applying for Chapter 13 protection.\nYou Can Use a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy to Save Your Home\nThere are certain advantages which you will be entitled to have recourse to if you decide to file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy protection. For example, one of the chief protections afforded by Chapter 13 bankruptcy is the scope that it gives you to set up a schedule for paying off the debt that has accumulated due to defaulting on your mortgage. In most cases, you will even be allowed to propose the exact length of time that you will take for making these repayments. As long as you can commit to such a schedule and manage to observe it to the letter, you will be allowed to keep your property.\nChapter 13 Bankruptcy Can Help Eliminate Second and Third Mortgage Payments\nFiling for bankruptcy under Chapter 13 conditions can also help you to phase payments that are due on a second or third mortgage. This type of protection typically allows a bankruptcy court to consider second or third mortgages as a form of unsecured debt. What this means for you is that unsecured debt is a matter of very low priority and will usually not have to be paid back. However, this will only be the case if the first mortgage on your home contains the whole of your property value. If this is so, then the second or third mortgages will have no further value to be secured or collected.\nBankruptcy May Be Your Best Choice to Save Your Home and Your Credit\nYou should be aware that filing for bankruptcy will certainly have some adverse effects on your credit. However, the damage will not be anywhere near as severe or long lasting as the negative effect that follows after having your home foreclosed on. Not only will being foreclosed on have a ruinous effect on your credit, but you may also still be saddled with the leftover debt.\nBankruptcy May Carry More Advantages Than Disadvantages\nEven if filing for bankruptcy doesn\u2019t save your home, you are probably better off having done so. You may no longer have your home, but you will at least be free of mortgage debts and tax liability. You\u2019ll have a huge monkey off your back and will be able to plan for your future. This would not be the case if you simply allow yourself to be foreclosed on without trying to fight the process.\nIn addition to being in debt, being foreclosed on may mean you may never be able to even consider buying a home in the future. Most mortgage companies will not even consider you a candidate for a new loan if you have been foreclosed upon in the past. Bankruptcy, although it also carries its fair share of disadvantages, will at least allow you to start again with a clean slate. If you are faced with a choice between being foreclosed on or filing for bankruptcy, it may be wise to choose the latter course of action.\nThe process of foreclosure by power of sale will normally involve the sale of a property by the mortgage holder through some means which does not include the supervision of a court. In this way, it contrasts with foreclosure by judicial sale. This type of foreclosing process is currently in use in 29 states. It is usually had recourse to by a mortgage holder because it offers a quicker and more efficient process by which to claim the property.\nWho Benefits From Foreclosure by Power of Sale?\nAs with most other forms of these proceedings, the sale of the property will first benefit the holder of the mortgage. After their share of the proceeds is received, next in line will be all other parties who claim a lien on the property included in the mortgage. Last comes the person who took out the mortgage. If any proceeds are left after the other parties have been paid, they will receive whatever is left from the sale.\nThe Power of Sale Clause Needs to Be Written into the Actual Mortgage\nThe power of the mortgage holder to hold a power of sale proceeding needs to be written into the mortgage itself in order for the proceeding to be legally valid. This means that if the mortgage holder should threaten to hold such a sale without the clause being included, the person who took out the mortgage can challenge them in a court of law. It should also be noted that a power of sale proceeding cannot legally take place if the mortgage itself has been written up in the form of an absolute deed.\nA Power of Sale Proceeding Can Still Be Subject to Judicial Review\nThere are some circumstances under a which a power of sale proceeding can still be subject to full judicial review. These include certain types of situations in which a number of issues or defects in the mortgage need to be resolved. There may also be lien holders and people holding leases on the property whose claims will need to be dealt with and resolved before the final sale of the property is allowed to take place.\nMortgage Holders May Be Barred From Seeking A Deficiency Judgment\nIn many states, the holder of the mortgage will be legally prohibited from seeking a deficiency judgment. This will be especially the case if the holder decides to sell the property through some other means than the local court system. This means that, although the sale may proceed quicker and more efficiently, the holder of the mortgage may walk away with less of a payoff than they had originally planned on receiving.\nA Deed of Trust is Required to Conduct a Point of Sale Foreclosure\nIn most jurisdictions, the holder of the mortgage will need a deed of trust in order to begin a point of sale proceeding. A deed of trust is used to transfer the property from the holder of the mortgage to a special trustee that they appoint. This trustee will be the one who holds the property on behalf of the mortgage holder until the proceedings begin. When they do, it will be the trustee who holds the actual sale of the property. The trustee will generally be a person whom the mortgage holder has selected specifically for this purpose. They are not obligated to determine if the proceeding is justified.\nA Special Relationship Between a Mortgage Holder and Trustee is Required\nPoint of sale procedures have definite rules when it comes to the relationship of a mortgage holder and their trustee. A deed of trust, as well as the fact that a trustee is supervising and conducting the sale, are the two elements that are required if the holder of the mortgage intends to bid on the property. If these two conditions are not fulfilled, the mortgage holder is barred from doing so. If a point of sale proceeding should occur without one or both of these conditions being fulfilled, the person who took out the mortgage may have a legal right to contest the sale.\nAll Point of Sale Proceedings Must Be Properly Advertised\nAll interested parties must be duly notified before a point of sale proceeding can take place. This is generally done by placing an ad in the newspaper. Many states will also require that a notice be given to the person who originally took out the mortgage. There has been some controversy involved at this point of the process. Some courts have ruled that the use of much stricter and more effective notifications may be necessary. The issue has, so far, not been definitively settled.\nBeing a property owner exposes you to a whole host of responsibilities, including making your payments in a prompt and full manner. It\u2019s never a god idea to default on your mortgage payment. Such an unfortunate occurrence can open the door to the foreclosure process. This process takes many forms, including the sale of your property as supervised by a court of law. This particular form of the process is known as foreclosure by judicial sale.\nWhat Does the Process of Foreclosure by Judicial Sale Involve?\nThis process begins when you default on too many of your mortgage payments. Foreclosing proceedings under this particular process will involve first the seizure, then the sale, of the property in question under the strict supervision of a court. After the sale has been concluded, the proceeds will go first to the mortgage holder, and then to anyone else who holds a lien on the property. If any proceeds from the sale are left over, they will go to the original property holder. This form of the foreclosing process is available in every state, and is the required form in many of them.\nIt should be noted that this form requires that all parties in the process be noted so that they can attend the judicial hearing. This is to make sure that there is no dispute over who becomes the rightful holder of the property after the hearing has been concluded. In nearly every case, the eventual \u201cwinner\u201d will be the mortgage holder \u2013 usually a bank or some other form of lender.\nWho are the Necessary Parties in the Foreclosing Process?\nThere will be a number of people, known as necessary parties, whose presence at the hearing will be required in order for it to proceed as a fully legitimate legal process. These necessary parties will be anyone who acquired an easement, lien, or lease on the property after the original mortgage was taken out on it. These are people whose claims must be satisfied before the foreclosed property is handed over to the mortgage holder.\nWho are the Proper Parties in the Foreclosing Process?\nThere will also be a number of people involved in the case who are known as proper parties. These will be people who are judged to be useful, although not strictly necessary, in order to move the case along as efficiently and fairly as possible. For example, a proper party might be a person who had some sort of interest in the property at a time before the mortgage was executed. These people will not receive any payment from the foreclosing process. They are included in the process so that their relationship to the property \u2013 specifically, their lack of any claim to it \u2013 is fully clarified.\nWhat is the Proper Procedure in a Judicial Foreclosure?\nThe judicial foreclosing process will normally begin when a judge or sheriff declares the property available for sale. At this point, the holder of the mortgage is allowed to bid on the property. If there are any lien holders on the property who are not named as a party to the process, the mortgage holder can choose to pay them off by using some of the proceeds from the sale. This will give them clear title to the property.\nIf there are any other parties with minor claims who were not named in the process, the mortgage holder can pay this junior lien holder an amount of money to buy out their interest in the property. They can also choose the option of re-foreclosing on the original mortgage in order to eliminate the claims of junior lien holder. However, to achieve this goal, they will have to go through a second, completely separate court ordered foreclosing procedure.\nIf the Sale Doesn\u2019t Pay off the Mortgage, What Then?\nIf the proceeds from the foreclosing sale do not manage to pay off the debt owed to the mortgage holder, the person who took out the mortgage may have a deficiency judgment brought against them. This means that, if the sale fell short by $2,000, the holder of the mortgage may sue you to recover the extra amount.\nHowever, in many areas, the concept of deficiency is mitigated by \u201cfair value\u201d legislation. This means that the amount of the shortfall will be calculated by comparing the amount of the mortgage against the actual \u201cfair market\u201d value of the property. This could result in a significant lessening of the amount that you owe the holder of the mortgage.\nForeclosure is the right that a mortgage holder or third party lien holder has to seize your property when you default on your payments after a certain period of time. Once they have seized your property, the new owner has the right to sell your property or take ownership of it for their own purposes. In former times, the foreclosure process could happen as soon as the owner defaulted on a payment. Today, the owner is given a certain stipulated period of time to pay back the money they owe before being foreclosed on.\nWhat Can the Mortgage Holder Do With Your Foreclosed Property?\nOnce the mortgage holder has foreclosed on your property, they are free to do a number of things with it. They can sell it outright and use the money to pay off the remaining amount of the mortgage. They can rent the property out in order to pay off your debt and continue to make a profit thereafter. They can even tear down the property and build a new structure on it which they will then be the owner of.\nWhat Is Foreclosure by Judicial Process?\nThe foreclosure process can take a number of different forms. For example, the most common type is judicial sale. This means that your property, once foreclosed upon, can be sold by a judicial court. The proceeds of the sale will go first to the mortgage holder, and then to any other persons who may be holding a lien on the property. If there is any remaining amount left over once the sale is concluded, you will get this remainder.\nBecause this process is a legitimate legal action, it must be tried in a specially appointed court of law. All of the parties involved in the process will be notified of the action and expected to appear at the hearing. After hearing testimony from all sides in the case, the judge will then make a ruling as to whether or not the process will continue to its logical conclusion. This method is available in almost every state and is the most readily available form of the process.\nWhat Does the Power of Sale Process Involve?\nYour property can also be foreclosed upon under a process known as power of sale. This involves the sale of your property through some other means than the supervision of a court. This makes the process much quicker and more efficient, although it allows for less preventative action on the part of the original owner. As with judicial sale, the proceeds will first go to the mortgage holder and then to anyone who holds a lien on the property. Should any funds be left over, the original property owner is entitled to them. This method is available in most states.\nAre There Any Other Forms of the Foreclosing Process?\nThe process of foreclosing on property can take a number of other forms. It should be noted that these alternative forms are much less common than judicial sale or power or sale. They will also be rather more limited as to the number of states that will allow recourse to them.\nOne example is the original method of the foreclosing process, known as the strict process. If you should default on a payment, the court will order you to come up with it by a certain period of time. If you cannot do it, the court awards your property to the mortgage holder, who then has no obligation to sell your property in order to pay off the amount. This method is at the moment only available in Vermont and New Hampshire.\nHow is the Amount of Money You Owe Officially Determined?\nThe method by which the amount of money you owe your mortgage holder after defaulting on a mortgage payment is called acceleration. There will almost always be an acceleration clause built into the mortgage that you sign with a bank or some other form of lender. This acceleration clause gives the mortgage holder the right to declare the entire amount of the mortgage due immediately once you have missed a payment. For example, if the amount of the mortgage was $20,000, the acceleration clause gives the mortgage holder the right to insist on receiving the entire amount in one lump sum payment.\nWhat If There Is No Acceleration Clause in the Mortgage?\nIt should be noted that the concept of acceleration is not governed or enforced by law. In some rare cases, you may be able to sign a mortgage agreement that does not contain an acceleration clause. If this is the case, the mortgage holder can\u2019t foreclose until all of the installments are overdue. They can, however, convince a judge to divide up parts of your property to sell off in order to cover the installments you have missed.",

In past blogs, I have warned that financial incentives can be counterproductive when creativity is needed because people tend to get conservative in order to hang on to any financial incentives they have already earned. In general, I only recommend financial incentives for brute force kinds of jobs, either physically or mentally.\nI was just reading a book written by a marketing consultant that had another take on financial incentives. Sometimes, we don\u2019t see money as money. We see it as a trophy that we can compare to other people in similar situations. This explains why CEOs, athletes, actors, etc are so gung ho at negotiating their compensation, even when it is already higher than they could even hope to spend. Instead, it\u2019s a way of comparing themselves to others. It becomes just a scorecard. Mine is bigger than yours.\nSo financial incentives can also work for superstars who take an egocentric view of their compensation. Of course, you don\u2019t want a price war within your company, so this is really just at the level where an individual superstar is comparing themselves to a similar superstar at another organization.\nincentives, Marc Resnick, motivation, superstars",

        "title": "5+ Things We Irish Won't Do On St. Patrick's Day - Explore Inis Mor (Inishmore) The Aran Islands",
        "raw_content": "by admin | Mar 15, 2017 | blog, Glamping Ireland, Uncategorized | 0 comments\nThere are a lot of preconceived notions about the Irish and they all seem to reappear around this time of year. Here\u2019s a short list nonsensical activities not commonly embraced in Ireland, followed by a few practices we enjoy on St. Patrick\u2019s and other days.\n1. Call it St. Patty\u2019s Day\nOur national holiday is referred to as Saint Patrick\u2019s Day or, colloquially, \u201cPaddy\u2019s Day\u201d. \u201cPatty\u201d to us Irish is a diminutive of \u201cPatricia\u201d or something like a raw beef burger.\n2. Say \u201cTop of the Morning to You\u201d\nThe only Irish person to say this would be an actor and then only for a fat fee.\n3. Eat Corned Beef & Cabbage\nSince bacon and cabbage is a much-loved dinner, eaten once a week at least, and corned beef is now a rare delicacy usually enjoyed mid-winter, our St. Patrick\u2019s Day meal would be more like a Sunday Roast, say beef or lamb, with all the trimmings.\n4. Climb the Reek\nCroagh Patrick is \u201cthe holy mountain\u201d near Westport in County Mayo (on the Wild Atlantic Way); on the last Sunday in July, pilgrims ascend to attend Mass, pray or just enjoy the view. This practice is locally called \u201cclimbing the Reek\u201d. In late August, devout pilgrims spend three days fasting and praying on an island known as St. Patrick\u2019s Purgatory in Lough Derg in County Donegal.\n5. Drink Green Beer\nWe\u2019re too fond of our beers to adulterate them \u2013 Ireland has lots of craft breweries as well as the world famous Guinness. Apart from a slice of lime in Irish gin, the only verdantly-hued beverage consumed regularly by the Irish is a green smoothie. Potato & Leek soup is a favourite dish but soup is eaten, not drunk.\nSpeaking of \u201cdrunk\u201d, we don\u2019t get blotto, blind or belligerently drunk either on St. Patrick\u2019s Day. That myth arose from times past when the Lenten fast and abstinence could be suspended by Catholics on the patron saint\u2019s Holy Day, which always occurs during Lent: a drop of whiskey or a pint of porter had much more potency after a period of abstinence \u2013 especially on an empty stomach.\nSome things we do around St. Patrick\u2019s Day are\nThe national holiday is a great day for families. Children are encouraged to celebrate our culture and the parades nationwide are very popular with young and old.\n2. Celebrate together\nA family meal for all ages, preceded or followed by song and dance (in homes or public venues), is always relished in Ireland and St. Patrick\u2019s Day is perfectly timed, bringing colour and joy in the middle of Spring and heralding the coming of the Easter break.\n3. Get out and about\nWhether it\u2019s into town for the parade or off to the wilds, we like to be out in the open air on St. Patrick\u2019s Day. When the holiday falls on a Friday or Monday, we can make a long weekend of it and head off to the rolling hills or the seashore. Green fields, blue-green bays, good companions \u2013 let\u2019s go glamping way out West!\nFore more info click here.\nScenes from the St Patrick\u2019s Day Parade 2016",

        "raw_content": "November 9, 2011 newswires No comments Views: 0\nProvident Announces Record 2011 Third Quarter Results, Updated 2011 Adjusted EBITDA Guidance and the November Cash Dividend\nWordcount: 35775\nAll values are in Canadian dollars.\nCALGARY, Nov. 9, 2011 /PRNewswire/ - Provident Energy Ltd. (Provident) (TSX-PVE; NYSE-PVX) today announced its 2011 third quarter interim financial and operating results, updated 2011 adjusted EBITDA guidance and the November cash dividend.\n\"Very strong NGL pricing and demand has resulted in record third quarter and nine month year-to-date EBITDA\" said President and Chief Executive Officer, Doug Haughey. \"Our outlook for the NGL industry remains positive and we continue to be encouraged by our growing portfolio of fee-for-service based growth opportunities around our Redwater West and Empress East facilities.\"\nThird quarter financial statements are reported under International Financial Reporting Standards.\nGross operating margin grew by 38 percent to $86 million in the third quarter of 2011, up from $62 million in 2010, driven by stronger NGL product pricing, higher frac spreads and increased Empress East sales volumes.\nAdjusted EBITDA(1) was $70 million for the third quarter of 2011, an increase of 32 percent from $53 million in 2010. The increase reflects higher operating margins from both Redwater West and Empress East, which increased contributions by 52 percent and 64 percent, respectively, partially offset by higher realized losses on financial derivative instruments.\nAdjusted funds flow from continuing operations(2) increased 44 percent to $63 million ($0.23 per share) in the third quarter of 2011, compared to $44 million ($0.16 per unit) in 2010, largely due to the 38 percent increase in gross operating margin.\nDividends paid to shareholders totaled $0.14 per share resulting in a payout ratio of 61 percent of adjusted funds flow from continuing operations, net of sustaining capital, for the third quarter of 2011.\nTotal debt at September 30, 2011 was $521 million. Provident continues to maintain its financial flexibility with approximately $289 million of capacity remaining under its $500 million revolving term credit facility. Subsequent to the quarter, Provident completed an extension of its revolving term credit facility extending the term from June 28, 2013 to October 14, 2014.\nTotal debt to Adjusted EBITDA(1) for the twelve months ended September 30, 2011 was a ratio of 1.9 to one compared to 2.1 to one for the year ended December 31, 2010.\nCapital expenditures were $28 million during the third quarter of 2011 and $75 million year-to-date. Capital expenditures were primarily directed towards cavern development and terminalling infrastructure at the Corunna facility, cavern and brine pond development at the Redwater facility, as well as Provident's pipeline replacement/expansion projects in northeast British Columbia.\n(1) Adjusted EBITDA is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and other non-cash items - see \"Reconciliation of Non-GAAP measures\" in the MD&A. Adjusted EBITDA presented above is from continuing operations and excludes the buyout of financial derivative instruments and strategic review and restructuring costs in 2010.\n(2) Adjusted funds flow from continuing operations excludes realized loss on buyout of financial derivative instruments and strategic review and restructuring costs in 2010 - see \"Reconciliation of Non-GAAP measures\" in the MD&A.\n2011 Adjusted EBITDA Guidance\nGiven strong year-to-date performance and Provident's positive outlook for the balance of 2011, it is anticipated that Provident's 2011 Adjusted EBITDA will be in the upper portion of its guidance range of $245 million to $285 million. This guidance is subject to market and operational assumptions including normal weather conditions and is based, in part, on average price assumptions for October through December 2011 of U.S. WTI crude of $91.00/bbl, AECO natural gas of $3.40/GJ, a Cdn/U.S. dollar exchange rate of $1.00 and a Mont Belvieu propane price at 69 percent of crude oil. This guidance also assumes that extraction premiums at Empress for the remainder of 2011 will be near the high end of an updated range of between $6 and $9 per gigajoule.\nNovember 2011 Cash Dividend\nThe November cash dividend of $0.045 per share is payable on December 15, 2011 and will be paid to shareholders of record on November 23, 2011. The ex-dividend date will be November 21, 2011. Provident's 2011 annualized dividend rate is $0.54 per common share. Based on the current annualized dividend rate and the TSX closing price on November 8, 2011 of $9.31 Provident's yield is approximately 5.8 percent.\nFor shareholders receiving their dividends in U.S. funds, the November 2011 cash dividend will be approximately US$0.044 per share based on an exchange rate of 0.9862. The actual U.S. dollar dividend will depend on the Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange rate on the payment date and will be subject to applicable withholding taxes.\n2011 Third Quarter Conference Call\nA conference call has been scheduled for Thursday, November 10, 2011 at 7:30 a.m. MDT (9:30 a.m. Eastern) to discuss Provident's 2011 third quarter results.

This analysis has been prepared using information available up to November 9, 2011.\nProvident operates a midstream business in Canada and the United States and extracts, processes, markets, transports and offers storage of natural gas liquids (NGLs) within the integrated facilities at Younger in British Columbia, Redwater and Empress in Alberta, Kerrobert in Saskatchewan, Sarnia in Ontario, Superior in Wisconsin and Lynchburg in Virginia. Effective in the second quarter of 2010, Provident's Canadian oil and natural gas production business (\"Provident Upstream\" or \"COGP\") was accounted for as discontinued operations and comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with this presentation (see note 18 of the interim consolidated financial statements). As a result of Provident's conversion from an income trust to a corporation, effective January 1, 2011, references to \"common shares\", \"shares\", \"share based compensation\", \"shareholders\", \"performance share units\", \"PSUs\", \"restricted share units\", \"RSUs\", \"premium dividend and dividend reinvestment share (DRIP) purchase plan\", and \"dividends\" should be read as references to \"trust units\", \"units\", \"unit based compensation\", \"unitholders\", \"performance trust units\", \"PTUs\", \"restricted trust units\", \"RTUs\", \"premium distribution, distribution reinvestment (DRIP) and optional unit purchase plan\", and \"distributions\", respectively, for periods prior to January 1, 2011.\nThe reporting focuses on the financial and operating measurements management uses in making business decisions and evaluating performance. This analysis contains forward-looking information and statements. See \"Forward-looking information\" at the end of the analysis for further discussion.\nThe Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles as set out in the Handbook of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (\"CICA Handbook\"). In 2010, the CICA Handbook was revised to incorporate International Financial Reporting Standards (\"IFRS\"), and requires publicly accountable enterprises to apply such standards effective for years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. This adoption date requires the restatement, for comparative purposes, of amounts reported by Provident for the annual and quarterly periods within the year ended December 31, 2010, including the opening consolidated statement of financial position as at January 1, 2010. Provident's first, second and third quarter 2011 interim consolidated financial statements reflect this change in accounting standards. For more information, see \"Change in accounting policies\".\nThe analysis refers to certain financial and operational measures that are not defined in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in Canada. These non-GAAP measures include funds flow from operations, adjusted funds flow from continuing operations, adjusted EBITDA and further adjusted EBITDA to exclude realized loss on buyout of financial derivative instruments and strategic review and restructuring costs.\nManagement uses funds flow from operations to analyze operating performance. Funds flow from operations is reviewed, along with debt repayments and capital programs in setting monthly dividends. Funds flow from operations as presented is not intended to represent cash flow from operations or operating profits for the period nor should it be viewed as an alternative to cash provided by operating activities, net earnings or other measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with IFRS. All references to funds flow from operations throughout this report are based on cash provided by operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital and site restoration expenditures. See \"Reconciliation of non-GAAP measures\".\nManagement uses adjusted EBITDA to analyze the operating performance of the business. Adjusted EBITDA as presented does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore it may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures for other entities. Adjusted EBITDA as presented is not intended to represent cash provided by operating activities, net earnings or other measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with IFRS. All references to adjusted EBITDA throughout this report are based on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and other non-cash items (\"adjusted EBITDA\"). See \"Reconciliation of non-GAAP measures\".\nThe second quarter of 2010 included two significant events that impacted the comparative results related to the second quarter and year-to-date earnings, adjusted EBITDA and funds flow from operations significantly. First, Provident sold the remainder of its Upstream business unit to move forward as a pure-play infrastructure midstream business. This transaction completed the sales process of the Upstream business and the Upstream business unit is now classified as discontinued operations. Strategic review and restructuring costs associated with the continued divestment of upstream properties, the final sale of Provident's Upstream business and the related separation of the business units were also incurred in the second quarter of 2010. See \"Discontinued operations (Provident Upstream)\".\nThe second significant transaction was execution of a buyout of the fixed price derivative contracts that related to the Midstream business. In April, 2010, Provident completed a buyout of fixed price crude oil and natural gas swaps for a total realized cost of $199.1 million. The carrying value of the specific contracts at March 31, 2010 was a liability of $177.7 million, resulting in an offsetting unrealized gain in the second quarter of 2010. The $199.1 million buyout represents a cash cost and reduces funds flow from operations and adjusted EBITDA. The offsetting unrealized gain of $177.7 million is not reflected in Provident's funds flow from operations or adjusted EBITDA as it is a non-cash recovery. Provident has retained certain participating crude oil and natural gas swaps and NGL throughput and inventory contracts that utilize financial derivative instruments based directly on underlying NGL products.\n\"Adjusted funds flow from continuing operations\" and \"Adjusted EBITDA excluding buyout of financial derivative instruments and strategic review and restructuring costs\"\nTwo additional non-GAAP measures of \"Adjusted funds flow from continuing operations\" and \"Adjusted EBITDA excluding buyout of financial derivative instruments and strategic review and restructuring costs\" have been provided and are also used in the calculation of certain ratios. The adjusted non-GAAP measures are provided as an additional measure to evaluate the performance of Provident's pure-play Midstream infrastructure and logistics business and to provide additional information to assess future funds flow and earnings generating capability. See \"Reconciliation of non-GAAP measures\".\nAcquisition of Three Star Trucking Ltd.\nOn October 3, 2011, Provident announced that it had completed the acquisition of a two-thirds interest in Three Star Trucking Ltd. (\"Three Star\"), a Saskatchewan based oilfield hauling company serving Bakken-area crude oil producers. The acquisition was funded by approximately $8 million in cash and 945,000 Provident shares as well as $4 million of assumed bank debt and working capital. Provident will retain the option to purchase the remaining one-third interest in Three Star after three years from the closing date.\nConstruction of a truck terminal at Cromer\nOn September 8, 2011, Provident announced the construction of a truck unloading terminal located at Cromer, Manitoba. The terminal, plus associated storage, will have an initial capacity of approximately 2,000 barrels per day of natural gas liquids production from the Bakken area. The natural gas liquids from this terminal will be injected into the Enbridge mainline for transport to Sarnia, Ontario. Provident anticipates the project will cost approximately $10 million to complete and will begin receiving volumes in the first quarter of 2012.\nLong-term storage agreements\nOn September 15, 2011, Provident announced that it had entered into agreements with Nova Chemicals Corporation to provide approximately one million barrels of product storage and other services at the Provident Redwater Facility with staged on-stream dates in the third quarter of 2012 and first quarter of 2013.\nOn September 30, 2011, Provident announced that it had entered into a 10 year agreement with a major industrial company in the Sarnia area for the contracting of two underground storage caverns along with associated pipeline and drying facilities at Provident's Corunna Facility located near Sarnia, Ontario. The total amount of storage contracted under this agreement is 525,000 barrels with storage services anticipated to commence in the first quarter of 2012.\nOn October 6, 2011, Provident announced that it had entered into a 10 year crude oil storage agreement at its Redwater Facility with a major producer and will be providing two underground storage caverns totaling approximately one million barrels of storage capacity on a fee-for-service basis. As part of the arrangement, Provident will convert one of its existing product caverns and will re-configure one of the five caverns currently under development at Redwater to accommodate the storage of crude oil products. The caverns are expected to be placed into crude oil service in the second quarter of 2012 and 2013, respectively.\nRevolving term credit facility\nProvident renegotiated an extension of its existing credit agreement (the \"Credit Facility\") as of October 14, 2011, with National Bank of Canada as administrative agent and a syndicate of Canadian chartered banks and other Canadian and foreign financial institutions (the \"Lenders\"). Pursuant to the amended Credit Facility, the Lenders have agreed to continue to provide Provident with a credit facility of $500 million which, under an accordion feature, can be increased to $750 million at the option of the Company, subject to obtaining additional commitments. The amended Credit Facility also provides for a separate Letter of Credit facility which has been increased from $60 million to $75 million. The amended terms of the Credit Facility provide for a revolving three year period expiring on October 14, 2014, from the previous maturity date of June 28, 2013 (subject to customary extension provisions).\nProvident calculates earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and other non-cash items (adjusted EBITDA) and adjusted EBITDA excluding buyout of financial derivative instruments and strategic review and restructuring costs within its MD&A disclosure. These are non-GAAP measures. A reconciliation between these measures and income from continuing operations before taxes follows:\nContinuing operations Three months ended September 30, Nine monthsended September 30,\n($ 000s) 2011 2010 % Change 2011 2010 % Change\nIncome before taxes $ 61,020 $ 9,077 572 $ 134,487 $ 18,805 615\nFinancing charges 8,559 &lt;/td>\n8,777 (2) 31,918 21,742 47\nUnrealized gain offsetting buyout of financial\nderivative instruments - - - - (177,723) (100)\nUnrealized (gain) loss on financial derivative\ninstruments (16,677) 26,641 - (24,291) 40,235 -\nDepreciation and amortization 10,475 11,380 (8) 31,714 32,831 (3)\nUnrealized foreign exchange gain and other (1,109) (4,477) (75) (834) (5,026) (83)\nLoss on revaluation of conversion feature of\nconvertible debentures 4,097 - - 5,300 - -\nNon-cash share based compensation expense\n(recovery) 3,163 1,140 177 3,774 (3,287) -\nAdjusted EBITDA 69,528 52,538 32 182,068 (72,423) -\nRealized loss on buyout of financial derivative\ninstruments - - - - 199,059 (100)\nStrategic review and restructuring costs - - - - 11,913 (100)\nrestructuring costs $ 69,528 $ 52,538 32 $ 182,068 $ 138,549 31\nThe following table reconciles funds flow from operations and adjusted funds flow from continuing operations with cash provided by (used in) operating activities:\nReconciliation of funds flow from operations Three monthsended September 30, Nine monthsendedSeptember 30,\nCash provided by (used in) operating activities $ 11,583 $ (14,226) - $ 114,525 $ (166,700) -\nChange in non-cash operating working capital 51,207 57,868 (12) 45,340 81,370 (44)\nSite restoration expenditures - discontinued\noperations - - - - 2,041 (100)\nFunds flow from operations 62,790 43,642 44 159,865 (83,289) -\nFunds flow from discontinued operations - - - - 2,436 (100)\nAdjusted funds flow from continuing operations $ 62,790 $ 43,642 44 $ 159,865 $ 130,119 23\nFunds flow from continuing operations and dividends\nThree months ended September30, Nine months ended September 30,\n($ 000s, except per share data) 2011 2010 % Change 2011 2010 % Change\nFunds flow from continuing operations $ 62,790 $ 43,642 44 $ 159,865 $ (80,853) -\nAdjusted funds flow from continuing operations(1) $ 62,790 $ 43,642 44 $ 159,865 $ 130,119 23\nPer weighted average share\n- basic and diluted (2) $ 0.23 $ 0.16 44 $ 0.59 $ 0.49 20\nDeclared dividends $ 36,609 $ 47,990 (24) $ 109,382 $ 143,418 (24)\n(1) Adjusted funds flow from operations excludes realized loss on buyout of derivative instruments and strategic review and restructuring costs.\nFor the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, adjusted funds flow from continuing operations increased by 44 percent and 23 percent, respectively, over the same periods in 2010. The increases are attributed to a significant increase in gross operating margin partially offset by higher realized losses on financial derivative instruments and a current income tax recovery in the second quarter of 2010.\nDeclared dividends in the first nine months of 2011 totaled $109.4 million, 73 percent of adjusted funds flow from continuing operations, net of sustaining capital spending. In the comparable period of 2010, declared distributions were $143.4 million, 113 percent of adjusted funds flow from continuing operations, net of sustaining capital spending.\nIn addition to cash distributions, Provident also made a non-cash distribution to unitholders in the second quarter of 2010 relating to the disposition of Provident's Upstream business. This distribution was valued at $308.7 million or $1.16 per unit (see note 18 of the interim consolidated financial statements).\nThe following outlook contains forward-looking information regarding possible events, conditions or results of operations in respect of Provident that is based on assumptions about future economic conditions and courses of action. There are a number of risks and uncertainties which could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those anticipated by Provident and described in the forward-looking information. See \"Forward-looking information\" in this MD&A for additional information regarding assumptions and risks in respect of Provident's forward-looking information.\nProvident anticipates that 2011 adjusted EBITDA will be in the upper portion of its guidance range of $245 million to $285 million. This guidance is subject to market and operational assumptions including normal weather conditions and is based, in part, on average price assumptions for October through December 2011 of U.S. WTI crude of $91.00/bbl, AECO natural gas of $3.40/GJ, a Cdn/U.S. dollar exchange rate of $1.00 and a Mont Belvieu propane price at 69 percent of crude oil. This guidance also assumes that extraction premiums at Empress for the remainder of 2011 will be near the high end of an updated range of between $6 and $9 per gigajoule.\nProvident continues to move forward with its expanded 2011 capital program and has deployed approximately $75 million of capital year-to-date, including $64 million on growth capital projects and $11 million of sustaining capital. During the third quarter, Provident commenced construction of a newly announced NGL truck unloading terminal at Cromer, Manitoba and commissioned its new 16 spot multi-commodity rail loading and offloading terminal at the Provident Corunna Storage and Terminalling Facility. Subsequent to the quarter, on October 3, 2011, Provident also closed the acquisition of a two-thirds interest in Three Star Trucking Ltd.\nExecution of the remainder of Provident's 2011 capital program is currently proceeding as planned. In the fourth quarter of 2011, construction of the Septimus to Younger Pipeline is expected to be completed and Provident anticipates putting into service a new pipeline to replace an aging section of the Taylor to Boundary Lake pipeline on the Liquids Gathering System. Overall, it is anticipated that certain 2011 projects may be completed under budget. In addition, due to scheduling considerations, a small percentage of planned 2011 capital may be deferred to the first quarter of 2012. This capital deferral is not expected to materially impact the start-up dates of any of Provident's capital projects.\nIn addition to advancing its capital program, over the past few weeks Provident has announced long-term storage arrangements for its underground storage facilities at Redwater and Corunna. These arrangements will underpin a significant portion of the company's 2012 capital program with stable long-term fee-based arrangements.\nOver the next two years, Provident currently plans to deploy approximately $280 million in growth capital, $135 million and $145 million in 2012 and 2013, respectively. Management further estimates a future annual growth capital run rate of approximately $100 million to $125 million beyond 2013. For Redwater West, Provident's growth opportunities are associated with the increased liquids-rich natural gas drilling in the Montney, BC area and growing activity levels in the Alberta oilsands, both of which have significantly increased the demand for NGL infrastructure and logistics services. For Empress East, increasing liquids-rich drilling in the Appalachian shale plays in the United States as well as the Company's expanding footprint as a crude oil and NGL services provider in the Bakken area has provided Provident with opportunities to take part in the increasing demand for transportation and storage services. Sustaining capital expenditures for 2012 and beyond are expected to average between $10 million and $15 million annually.\nProvident's 2012 capital program of approximately $135 million will be allocated as follows:\n1. Redwater West Storage Development\nAt Redwater, Provident will deploy approximately $95 million on the continued development of underground storage caverns and related cavern infrastructure. Provident currently has five caverns in various stages of development which will come into service over the next three years. Over the past several weeks, Provident has entered into long-term underground storage arrangements for approximately 2.0 million barrels of storage capacity at Redwater. These long-term arrangements will underpin Provident's cavern development program with stable fee-based cash flows and serve to demonstrate the increasing demand for underground hydrocarbon storage in the greater Fort Saskatchewan area. In the future, one of these five development caverns may become designated as a replacement cavern.\n2. Redwater West Expansion & Optimization\nProvident will spend approximately $6 million on initiatives around its Younger fractionation facility and Liquids Gathering System to optimize Younger plant operating capacity and further enhance Redwater West supply. Over the past several months, Provident has experienced a significant increase in gas supply to Younger which has stemmed from the increased liquids-rich natural gas drilling in the Montney area in BC. Completion of the Septimus to Younger pipeline, which is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2011, will further augment gas supply into the Younger facility.\nA further $18 million of capital has been allocated for the initial phase of a planned expansion and optimization of the Redwater facility. The first phase of the expansion is expected to increase fractionation capacity at Redwater by approximately 8,000 barrels per day, and will allow Provident to process additional NGLs expected from the Younger facility and from Provident's NGL capture areas around its Liquids Gathering System, as well as additional NGLs that may be received via the Pembina Pipeline System. Additional details around subsequent expansion phases, including fractionation capacity and capital costs, are expected to be released in 2012.\n3. Corunna Facility Enhancements\nFor 2012, Provident has allocated approximately $10 million of capital for projects associated with its storage and terminalling facilities at Corunna, Ontario. In the first quarter of 2012, Provident will begin providing additional storage and terminalling services under a long-term agreement with a major industrial customer in the Sarnia area. Additional capital will be spent to increase storage capacity and enhance service capabilities at Corunna in order to meet new demand arising from increasing levels of liquids-rich natural gas drilling in the Appalachian shale plays in the United States and strong petrochemical and refining activity in the Sarnia area.\n4. Bakken Development\nThe remaining $6 million of capital will be directed towards expanding Provident's crude oil and NGL footprint in the Bakken area. In the first quarter of 2012, Provident will complete the construction of its truck unloading terminal facility at Cromer, Manitoba and will begin receiving NGL mix supply which will be injected into the Enbridge mainline for transportation to Sarnia, Ontario. Through its subsidiary, Three Star Trucking Ltd., Provident is also planning to purchase additional trucking units to expand its crude oil hauling operations and diversify into NGL and diluents trucking and other service offerings.\nThe very strong NGL industry fundamentals which have contributed to robust NGL pricing and demand over the past few months are expected to continue throughout the remainder of 2011. However, it is expected that 2012 will trend towards more normal market conditions. Provident continues to be encouraged by the business development opportunities that have emerged around all of its facilities in response to accelerating growth in the Montney and Appalachian natural gas plays, the Bakken oil play, and the Alberta oilsands.\nProvident Midstream operating results review\nThe Midstream business\nProvident's Midstream business extracts, processes, stores, transports and markets NGLs and offers these services to third party customers. In order to aid in the understanding of the business, this MD&A provides information about the associated business activities of the Midstream operation comprising Redwater West, Empress East and Commercial Services. The assets are integrated across Canada and the U.S., and are also used to generate fee-for-service income. The business is supported by an integrated supply, marketing and distribution function that contributes to the overall operating margin of the Company.\nProvident's integrated marketing and distribution arm has offices in Calgary, Alberta, Sarnia, Ontario, and Houston, Texas and operates under the brand name Kinetic. Rather than selling NGLs produced by the Redwater West and Empress East facilities at the plant gate, the marketing and logistics group utilizes Provident's integrated suite of transportation, storage and logistics assets to access markets across North America. Due to its broad marketing scope, Provident's NGL products are priced based on multiple pricing indices. These indices generally correspond with the four major NGL trading hubs in North America which are located in Mont Belvieu, Texas, Conway, Kansas, Edmonton, Alberta, and Sarnia, Ontario. Mont Belvieu, the largest NGL trading center, serves as the reference point for NGL pricing in North America. By strategically building inventories of specification products during lower priced periods which can then be distributed into premium-priced markets across North America during periods of high seasonal demand, Provident is able to optimize the margins it earns from its extraction and fractionation operations. Provident's marketing group also generates arbitrage trading margins by taking advantage of trading opportunities created by locational price differentials.\nProvident's performance is closely tied to market prices for NGLs and natural gas, which can vary significantly from period to period. The key reference prices impacting Midstream gross operating margins are summarized in the following table:\nMidstream business reference prices Three months ended September 30, Nine months ended September 30,\nWTI crude oil (US$ per barrel) $ 89.76 $ 76.20 18 $ < b> $ 77.65 23\nExchange rate (from US$ to Cdn$) 0.98 1.04 (6) 0.98 1.04 (6)\nWTI crude oil expressed in Cdn$ per barrel $ 87.99 $ 79.18 11 $ 93.37 $ 80.43 16\nAECO natural gas monthly index (Cdn$ per gj) $ 3.53 $ 3.52 - $ 3.55 $ 4.11 (14)\nFrac Spread Ratio (1) 24.9 22.5 11 26.3 19.6 34\nMont Belvieu Propane (US$ per US gallon) $ 1.54 $ 1.07 44 $ 1.48 $ 1.13 31\nMont Belvieu Propane expressed as a percentage of WTI 72% 59% 22 65% 61% 7\nMarket Frac Spread in Cdn$ per barrel (2) $ 56.09 $ 37.78 48 $ 53.42 $ 38.31 39\n(1) Frac spread ratio is the ratio of WTI expressed in Canadian dollars per barrel to the AECO monthly index (Cdn$ per gj).\n(2) Market frac spread is determined using average spot prices at Mont Belvieu, weighted based on 65% propane, 25% butane, and 10% condensate, and the AECO monthly index price for natural gas.\nThe NGL pricing environment in the third quarter of 2011 was significantly stronger than in the third quarter of 2010. The average third quarter 2011 WTI crude oil price was US$89.76 per barrel, representing an increase of 18 percent compared to the third quarter of 2010. The impact of higher WTI crude oil prices was partially offset by the strengthening of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010. Propane prices were also stronger than in the comparative period, reflecting the increase in crude oil prices combined with lower North American supply resulting from above average exports and stronger demand from the petrochemical sector. The Mont Belvieu propane price averaged US$1.54 per U.S. gallon (72 percent of WTI) in the third quarter of 2011, compared to US$1.07 per U.S. gallon (59 percent of WTI) in the third quarter of 2010. Butane and condensate sales prices were also much improved in the third quarter of 2011, also reflective of higher crude oil prices and steady petrochemical and oilsands demand for these products.\nThe third quarter 2011 AECO natural gas price averaged $3.53 per gj which is consistent with $3.52 per gj during the third quarter of 2010. While low natural gas prices are generally favorable to NGL extraction and fractionation economics, a sustained period in a low priced gas environment may impact the availability and overall cost of natural gas and NGL mix supply in western Canada, as natural gas producers may curtail drilling activities. Continued softness in natural gas prices has improved market frac spreads but has also caused an increase in extraction premiums paid for natural gas supply in western Canada, particularly at Empress. Recent strength in NGL pricing has resulted in improved netbacks for producers drilling in natural gas plays with higher levels of associated NGLs, such as the Montney area in British Columbia. Increased focus on liquids-rich natural gas drilling is beneficial to Provident supply, particularly at Redwater.\nThe margins generated from Provident's extraction operations at Empress, Alberta and Younger, British Columbia are determined primarily by \"frac spreads\", which represent the difference between the selling prices for propane-plus and the input cost of the natural gas required to produce the respective NGL products. Frac spreads can change significantly from period to period depending on the relationship between crude oil and natural gas prices (the \"frac spread ratio\"), absolute commodity prices, and changes in the Canadian to U.S. dollar foreign exchange rate. Traditionally, a higher frac spread ratio and higher crude oil prices will result in stronger extraction margins. Differentials between propane-plus and crude oil prices, as well as location price differentials will also impact frac spreads. Natural gas extraction premiums and costs relating to transportation, fractionation, storage and marketing are not included within frac spreads, however these costs are included when determining operating margin.\nMarket frac spreads averaged $56.09 per barrel during the third quarter of 2011, representing a 48 percent increase from $37.78 per barrel during the third quarter of 2010. Higher frac spreads were a result of higher NGL prices combined with a flat AECO natural gas price. While Provident benefits directly from higher frac spreads at its Younger facility, the benefit of higher market frac spreads in the third quarter of 2011 was offset at Empress by continued high costs for natural gas supply in the form of extraction premiums. Empress extraction premiums increased approximately 50 percent when compared to the third quarter of 2010 and, are primarily a result of low volumes of natural gas flowing past the Empress straddle plants and increased competition for NGLs as a result of higher frac spreads. Empress border flow was relatively flat in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the same quarter of 2010 at a rate of approximately 4.6 bcf per day. Lower natural gas throughput directly impacts production at the Empress facilities which in turn reduces the supply of propane-plus available for sale in Sarnia and in surrounding eastern markets. Tighter supply at Sarnia may have a positive impact on eastern sales prices relative to other major propane hubs during periods of high demand.\nProvident partially mitigates the impact of lower natural gas based NGL supply at Empress through the purchase of NGL mix supply in western Canada. Provident purchases NGL mix which is transported to the truck rack at the Provident Empress facility. The NGL mix is then transported to the premium-priced Sarnia market for fractionation and sale. Provident also purchases NGL mix supply from other Empress plant owners as well as in the Edmonton market. While gross operating margins benefit from additional NGL mix supply, per unit margins are impacted as margins earned on frac spread gas extraction are typically higher than margins earned on NGLs purchased on a mix basis.\nIndustry propane inventories in the United States were approximately 57.5 million barrels as at the end of the third quarter of 2011, representing a decrease of approximately 3.9 million barrels compared to the prior year quarter, and are approximately 8.0 million barrels below the five year historical average. Inventory levels are below the five year historical average primarily due to the continued strong demand from the petrochemical sector and above average propane exports from the U.S. Gulf Coast primarily to Central and South American markets. Canadian industry propane inventories were approximately 9.3 million barrels at the end of the third quarter of 2011, 0.6 million barrels lower than the end of the third quarter of 2010 and 0.9 million barrels lower than the historic five year average. Propane inventories have decreased compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to strong third quarter demand for propane in 2011.\nProvident Midstream business performance\nProvident Midstream results can be summarized as follows:\n(bpd) 2011 2010 % Change 2011 2010 % Change\nRedwater West NGL sales volumes 52,675 58,834 (10) 56,308 59,749 (6)\nEmpress East NGL sales volumes 42,034 36,554 15 44,759 41,084 9\nProvident Midstream NGL sales volumes 94,709 95,388 (1) 101,067 100,833 -\nThree months ended September 30, Nine months ended September30,\nRedwater West margin $ 49,982 $ 32,902 52 $ 144,615 $ 99,347 46\nEmpress East margin 22,179 13,516 64 72,157 52,910 36\nCommercial Services margin 13,549 15,570 (13) 43,057 47,375 (9)\nGross operating margin 85,710 61,988 38 259,829 199,632 30\nRealized loss on financial derivative instruments (12,071) (4,556) 165 (55,115) (34,459) 60\nCash general and administrative expenses (7,317) (7,944) (8) (29,346) (28,107) 4\nOther income and realized foreign exchange 3,206 3,050 5 6,700 1,483 352\nderivative instruments and strategic review\nand restructuring costs 69,528 52,538 32 182,068 138,549 31\ninstruments - - - - (199,059) (100)\nStrategic review and restructuring costs - - - - (11,913) (100)\nAdjusted EBITDA $ 69,528 $ 52,538 32 $ 182,068 $ (72,423) -\nGross operating margin\nMidstream gross operating margin during the third quarter of 2011 totaled $85.7 million, an increase of 38 percent compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in operating margin is the result of a higher contribution from both Redwater West and Empress East by 52 percent and 64 percent, respectively, partially offset by a 13 percent decrease in operating margin from Commercial Services.\nThe year-to-date margin was $259.8 million in 2011 which is 30 percent higher than the year-to-date margin of $199.6 million in 2010. Year-to-date margin reflects increased contributions from both Redwater West and Empress East by 46 percent and 36 percent, respectively, partially offset by a nine percent decrease in operating margin from Commercial Services.\nRedwater West\nProvident purchases NGL mix from various natural gas producers and fractionates it into finished products at the Redwater fractionation facility near Edmonton, Alberta. Redwater West also includes natural gas supply volumes from the Younger NGL extraction plant located at Taylor in northeastern British Columbia. The Younger plant supplies specification NGLs to local markets as well as NGL mix supply to the Fort Saskatchewan area for fractionation and sale. The feedstock for Redwater West has a significant portion of NGL mix rather than natural gas, therefore frac spreads have a smaller impact on operating margin than in Empress East.\nAlso located at the Redwater facility is Provident's industry leading rail-based condensate terminal, which serves the heavy oil industry and its need for diluent. Provident's condensate terminal is the largest of its size in western Canada. Income generated from the condensate terminal and caverns which relates to third-party terminalling and storage is included within Commercial Services, while income relating to proprietary condensate marketing activities remains within Redwater West.\nThe third quarter 2011 operating margin for Redwater West was $50.0 million, an increase of 52 percent compared to $32.9 million in the third quarter of 2010. Strong third quarter 2011 results were primarily due to stronger market prices for all NGL products as well as higher frac spreads at Younger. Overall, Redwater West NGL sales volumes averaged 52,675 barrels per day in the third quarter of 2011, a 10 percent decrease compared to the third quarter of 2010. Lower NGL sales volumes can be largely attributed to a decrease in sales volumes for ethane and condensate in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010. Third quarter 2011 ethane sales were curtailed as the Younger plant underwent a regularly scheduled maintenance turnaround project over the end of the second and beginning of the third quarter of 2011 whereby the plant was either idle or operating at significantly less than capacity for a period of approximately two weeks during the third quarter. Condensate sale volumes decreased compared to the prior year quarter as Provident imported less condensate via railcar from the U.S. Gulf Coast for sale into the western Canadian market. Margins on imported condensate supply tend to be lower than product supplied through western Canadian NGL mix or product extracted at Younger due to the significant transportation costs incurred on imported product. Decreases in sales volumes were more than offset by significant improvements in condensate market pricing, resulting in a higher margin in the quarter despite the decrease in sales volumes.\nProduct operating margins for propane, butane and condensate were higher in the third quarter of 2011 relative to the comparative period primarily due to more favourable market pricing. Mt. Belvieu pricing for propane, butane and condensate have increased by 44 percent, 41percent and 40 percent, respectively, in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010.\nYear-to-date operating margin increased to $144.6 million in 2011 from $99.3 million in 2010, an increase of 46 percent. The year-to-date increase is primarily due to a stronger NGL pricing environment in 2011 when compared to 2010. Mt. Belvieu pricing for propane, butane and condensate has increased 31 percent, 27 percent and 36 percent, respectively, year-to-date 2011 compared to year-to-date 2010. Higher operating margins were partially offset by a six percent reduction in Redwater West sales volumes which are primarily associated with reductions in condensate railcar imports from the U.S. Gulf Coast for sale in the western Canadian market.\nEmpress East\nProvident extracts NGLs from natural gas at the Empress straddle plants and sells ethane and condensate in the western Canadian marketplace while transporting propane and butane into markets in central Canada and the eastern United States. The margin in the business is determined primarily by frac spreads. Demand for propane is seasonal and results in inventory that generally builds over the second and third quarters of the year and is sold in the fourth quarter and the first quarter of the following year.\nEmpress East gross operating margin was $22.2 million in the third quarter of 2011 compared to $13.5 million in the same quarter of 2010. The 64 percent increase was due to increased sales volumes associated with strong demand for propane in the third quarter of 2011 when compared to the same quarter of 2010 as well as strong refinery demand for butane in the third quarter of 2011. Overall, Empress East NGL sales volumes averaged 42,034 barrels per day, a 15 percent increase compared to the third quarter of 2010. Stronger market prices for propane-plus products and consistently low gas prices resulted in higher frac spreads which was also beneficial to gross operating margin. The positive impacts of strong demand, higher NGL sales prices and a lower AECO natural gas price were partially offset by increased extraction premiums paid to purchase natural gas in the Empress market.\nYear-to-date gross operating margin of $72.2 million in 2011 represents a 36 percent increase compared to a year-to-date margin of $52.9 million in 2010. The increase in year-to-date margin was primarily attributable to a 21 percent increase in propane-plus sales volumes combined with a 17 percent increase in propane-plus per unit revenues. Higher volume sales and per unit revenues on propane-plus products were driven by increases in market pricing for all propane-plus NGL products and were partially offset by increased extraction premiums paid to purchase natural gas in the Empress market. Sales volumes are higher than in the prior year as a result of higher demand for propane and butane in central Canada and the eastern United States in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the prior year quarter.\nProvident also utilizes its assets to generate income from fee-for-service contracts to provide fractionation, storage, NGL terminalling, loading and offloading services. Income from pipeline tariffs from Provident's ownership in NGL pipelines is also included in this activity. During the third quarter of 2011, Provident announced long-term storage agreements for four underground storage caverns, two at the Redwater facility and two at the Provident Corunna facility. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, Provident announced a long-term storage agreement for crude oil storage at the Redwater facility utilizing two additional underground storage caverns.\nCommercial Services operating margin in the third quarter of 2011 was $13.5 million, representing a decrease of 13 percent compared to the same period in 2010. Year-to-date 2011, the Commercial Services margin was $43.1 million, a decrease of nine percent compared to $47.4 million in 2010. The decrease in margin was primarily associated with decreased condensate terminalling revenues as a result of the completion in mid-2010 of the Enbridge Southern Lights pipeline, which transports condensate from the United States to the Edmonton area.\nEarnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, accretion, and non-cash items (\"adjusted EBITDA\")\nAdjusted EBITDA includes the impact of the Midstream financial derivative contract buyout, as well as strategic review and restructuring costs incurred in the second quarter of 2010, associated with the separation of the business units. Management has presented a metric excluding these items as an additional measure to evaluate Provident's performance in the period and to assess future earnings generating capability.\nThird quarter 2011 adjusted EBITDA excluding buyout of financial derivative instruments and strategic review and restructuring costs increased to $69.5 million from $52.5 million in the third quarter of 2010. Year-to-date adjusted EBITDA excluding buyout of financial derivative instruments and strategic review and restructuring costs increased to $182.1 million from $138.5 million in 2010. The increases reflect higher gross operating margins from both Redwater West and Empress East, partially offset by higher realized losses on financial derivative instruments under the commodity price risk management program. In addition, the third quarter of 2011 includes other income of $2.1 million ($6.4 million year-to-date) related to payments received from third parties relating to certain contractual volume commitments at the Empress facilities.\nCapital expenditures for the third quarter of 2011 totaled $28.1 million and $75.0 million year-to-date. During 2011, $64.0 million of capital spending was primarily directed towards cavern development and terminalling infrastructure at the Provident Corunna facility near Sarnia, Ontario, cavern and brine pond development at the Redwater fractionation facility in Redwater, Alberta as well as various pipeline improvements and developments. An additional $11.0 million was directed to sustaining capital activities and office related capital including $6.6 million associated with the replacement of the Taylor to Boundary Lake Pipeline.\nMidstream capital expenditures for the third quarter of 2010 totaled $11.0 million and $21.4 million year-to-date. During 2010, $18.3 million was spent on growth projects including the construction of a truck rack at the Provident Empress plant, continued development of cavern storage at Redwater, and development activities relating to the Provident Corunna facility. In addition, $3.1 million was spent on sustaining capital requirements and office related capital.\nConsolidated Three months ended September30, Nine months ended September 30,\nNet loss from discontinued operations - (5,000) (100) - (131,481) (100)\n- basic and diluted (1) $ 0.18 $ 0.03 500 $ 0.28 $ (0.31) -\n(1) Based on weighted average number of shares outstanding and includes dilutive impact of convertible debentures.\nIn the third quarter of 2011, Provident recorded net income of $48.4 million compared to net income of $9.0 million in the comparable 2010 quarter. Net income in the third quarter of 2010 was impacted by a net loss from discontinued operations of $5.0 million related to post-closing adjustments attributed to the sale of the Upstream business in the second quarter of 2010.\nNet income from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2011 was $48.4 million, compared to $14.0 million in the third quarter of 2010. Higher adjusted EBITDA combined with the positive impact of the change in unrealized gain on financial derivative instruments was partially offset by higher deferred income tax expense.\nThe year-to-date net income from continuing operations was $76.6 million in 2011, compared to $48.6 million in 2010. Higher adjusted EBITDA, combined with the impact of the two identified significant events in 2010 and the change in unrealized gain on financial derivative instruments, was partially offset by higher financing and income tax expenses. Net loss from discontinued operations was $131.5 million and is attributed to the sale of the Upstream business in the second quarter of 2010.\nContinuing operations Three months ended September30, Nine months ended September 30,\nCurrent tax expense (recovery) $ 97 $ (1,015) - $ 208 $ (11,094) -\nDeferred income tax expense (recovery) 12,525 (3,887) - 57,647 (18,696) -\n$ 12,622 $ (4,902) - $ 57,855 $ (29,790) -\nThe current tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $0.1 million (2010 - $1.0 million recovery) and $ 0.2 million (2010 - $11.1 million recovery), respectively. The current tax recovery in 2010 was attributed to lower earnings subject to tax in the U.S. Midstream operations allowing the recovery of taxes paid in prior periods. The lower earnings in 2010 were generated primarily by the realized loss on buyout of financial derivative instruments.\nFor the nine months ended September 30, 2011, deferred income tax expense was $57.6 million compared to a recovery of $18.7 million in the same period of 2010. As a result of Provident's adoption of IFRS, the balance of deferred income taxes on the December 31, 2010 statement of financial position has increased by $22.3 million when compared to the previous Canadian GAAP amount (see note 5 of the interim consolidated financial statements). This IFRS difference is primarily due to the tax rate applied to temporary differences associated with SIFT entities. Under previous Canadian GAAP, Provident used the rate expected to be in effect when the timing differences reverse. However, under IFRS, Provident is required to use the highest rate applicable for undistributed earnings in these entities. Upon conversion to a corporation on January 1, 2011, these timing differences are now measured under IFRS using a corporate tax rate and, as a result, the majority of the IFRS difference at December 31, 2010 for deferred income taxes has reversed through first quarter 2011 net earnings, resulting in incremental deferred tax expense of approximately $24 million. The deferred tax recovery in 2010 was primarily driven by losses created by deductions at the incorporated subsidiary level under the previous Trust structure.\n($ 000s, except as noted) 2011 2010 % Change 2011 2010 % Change\nInterest on bank debt $ 2,457 $ 2,661 (8) $ 6,808 $ 6,685 2\nInterest on convertible debentures 4,960 3,996 24 16,036 12,086 33\n7,417 6,657 11 22,844 18,771 22\nLess: Capitalized borrowing costs (739) - - (739) - -\nLess: Discontinued operations portion - - - - (2,501) (100)\nTotal cash financing charges $ 6,678 $ 6,657 - $ 22,105 $ 16,270 36\nWeighted average interest rate on all long-term debt 5.0% 5.0% - 5.3% 4.6% 15\nLoss on purchase of convertible debentures - - - &lt;/td>\nAccretion and other non-cash financing charges 1,881 2,120 (11) 6,471 6,966 (7)\nTotal financing charges $ 8,559 $ 8,777 (2) $ 31,918 $ 21,742 47\nFinancing charges for the third quarter of 2011 were similar to the prior year, however, on a year-to-date basis financing charges have increased relative to 2010. Interest on bank debt is lower in the third quarter of 2011 as Provident had less debt drawn on its revolving credit facility. On a year-to-date basis, interest on bank debt is similar to 2010 with lower debt levels being offset by higher borrowing rates. Interest on convertible debentures for the third quarter and year-to-date was higher than in the prior year reflecting a higher face value outstanding, partially offset by a reduced average coupon rate on the convertible debentures. Financing charges also increased in 2011 as a result of losses recognized on the re-purchase of 6.5% convertible debentures in February 2011 and the redemption of the remaining 6.5% convertible debentures during May 2011. In addition, the prior period includes an allocation of interest expense and associated financing charges to discontinued operations.\nIn the third quarter of 2011, Provident commenced capitalizing borrowing costs attributable to the construction of assets that take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use. This reduced the Company's total recognized financing charges in the third quarter of 2011 by $0.7 million (2010 - nil).\nCommodity price risk management program\nProvident's risk management program utilizes financial derivative instruments to provide protection against commodity price volatility and protect a base level of operating cash flow. Provident has entered into financial derivative contracts through March 2013 to protect the relationship between the purchase cost of natural gas and the sales price of propane, butane and condensate and to protect the relationship between NGLs and crude oil in physical sales contracts. The program also reduces foreign exchange risk due to the exposure arising from the conversion of U.S. dollars into Canadian dollars, interest rate risk and fixes a portion of Provident's input costs.\nThe commodity price derivative instruments Provident uses include put and call options, participating swaps, and fixed price products that settle against indexed referenced pricing.\nProvident's credit policy governs the activities undertaken to mitigate non-performance risk by counterparties to financial derivative instruments. Activities undertaken include regular monitoring of counterparty exposure to approved credit limits, financial reviews of all active counterparties, utilizing International Swap Dealers Association (ISDA) agreements and obtaining financial assurances where warranted. In addition, Provident has a diversified base of available counterparties.\nManagement continues to actively monitor commodity price risk and continues to mitigate its impact through financial risk management activities. Subject to market conditions including adequate liquidity, Provident's intention is to hedge approximately 50 percent of its forecasted natural gas production volumes and forecasted NGL sales volumes on a rolling 12 month basis. Also, subject to market conditions, Provident may add additional positions as appropriate for up to 24 months. A summary of Provident's current financial derivative positions, including Frac volume, midstream margin, interest rate, electricity, and foreign exchange contracts, is available on Provident's website at www.providentenergy.com/bus/riskmanagement/commodity.cfm.\nA summary of Provident's risk management contracts executed during the third quarter of 2011 is contained in the following table.\nActivity in the Third Quarter:\nYear Product (Buy)/Sell Terms Effective Period\n2011 Crude Oil 2,201 Bpd US $86.71 per bbl (2) (7) October 1 - December 31\nNatural Gas (8,000) Gjpd Cdn $3.50 per gj (3) (6) October 1 - December 31\nPropane 3,696 Bpd US $1.5512 per gallon (4) (6) October 1 - December 31\nCondensate (2,201) Bpd US $2.225 per gallon (5) (7) October 1 - December 31\nForeign Exchange Sell US $26,222,040 per month @ 0.9862 (8) October 1 - December 31\n2012 Crude Oil 2,217 Bpd US $86.71 per bbl (2) (7) January 1 - September 30\nNatural Gas (14,000) Gjpd Cdn $3.68 per gj (3) (6) January 1 - March 31\nPropane 6,099 Bpd US $1.5682 per gallon (4) (6) January 1 - March 31\nCondensate (2,217) Bpd US $2.225 per gallon (5) (7) January 1 - September 30\nForeign Exchange Sell US $24,641,529 per month @ 0.9862 (8) January 1 - March 31\n(1) The above table represents transactions entered into over the third quarter of 2011.\n(2) Crude Oil contracts are settled against NYMEX WTI calendar average.\n(3) Natural Gas contracts are settled against AECO monthly index.\n(4) Propane contracts are settled against Mont Belvieu C3 TET.\n(5) Condensate contracts are settled against Belvieu NON-TET Natural Gasoline.\n(6) Midstream Frac Spread contracts.\n(7) Midstream margin contracts executed to manage price exposure in physical sales contracts.\n(8) US Dollar forward contracts are settled against the Bank of Canada noon rate average. Selling notional US dollars for Canadian dollars at a fixed exchange rate results in a fixed Canadian dollar price for the hedged commodity.\nSettlement of commodity contracts\nThe following table summarizes the impact of financial derivative contracts settled during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. The table excludes the impact of the Midstream derivative contract buyout of financial derivative instruments incurred in the second quarter of 2010 which is presented separately on the consolidated statement of operations.\nRealized loss on financial\nderivative instruments 2011 2010 2011 2010\n($ 000s except volumes) Volume (1) Volume (1) Volume (1) Volume (1)\nCrude oil $ 1,625 0.8 $ (1,263) 0.5 $ (8,336) 1.7 $ (12,414) 1.7\nNatural gas (2,243) 6.1 (3,149) 3.3 (7,935) 18.3 (25,128) 10.6\nNGL's (includes propane, butane) (13,086) 1.6 (336) - (41,841) 3.7 818 0.4\nForeign exchange 874 459 1,472 2,631\nElectricity 1,084 (154) 1,947 446\nInterest rate (325) (113) (422) (812)\nRealized loss on financialderivative instruments $ (12,071) $ (4,556) $ (55,115) $ (34,459)\n(1) The above table represents aggregate net volumes that were bought/sold over the periods. Crude oil and NGL volumes are listed in millions of barrels and natural gas is listed in millions of gigajoules.\nThe realized loss on financial derivative instruments for the third quarter of 2011 was $12.1 million compared to $4.6 million in the comparable 2010 quarter. The majority of the realized loss in the third quarter of 2011 was driven by NGL derivative sales contracts settling at a contracted price lower than current NGL market prices. The comparable third quarter 2010 realized loss was driven mostly by natural gas derivative purchase contracts settling at a contracted price higher than the market natural gas prices during the settlement period.\n($ 000s) September 30, 2011 December 31, 2010 % Change\nLong-term debt - revolving term credit facility $ 206,482 $ 72,882 183\nLong-term debt - convertible debentures (including current portion) 314,745 400,872 (21)\nWorking capital surplus (excluding financial derivative instruments) (123,157) (79,633) 55\nNet debt $ 398,070 $ 394,121 1\nShareholders' equity (at book value) 581,414 588,207 (1)\nTotal capitalization at book value $ 979,484 $ 982,328 -\nTotal net debt as a percentage of total book value capitalization 41% 40% 3\nMidstream revenues are received at various times throughout the month. Provident's working capital position is affected by commodity price changes as well as by seasonal fluctuations that reflect changing inventory balances in the Midstream business. Typically, Provident's inventory levels will increase in the second and third quarters when product demand is lower, and will decrease during the fourth and first quarters when product demand is at its highest. Provident relies on funds flow from operations, proceeds received under its Premium Dividend and Dividend Reinvestment (\"DRIP\") purchase plan, external lines of credit and access to equity markets to fund capital programs and acquisitions.\nSubstantially all of Provident's accounts receivable are due from customers in the oil and gas, petrochemical and refining and midstream services and marketing industries and are subject to credit risk. Provident partially mitigates associated credit risk by limiting transactions with certain counterparties to limits imposed by Provident based on management's assessment of the creditworthiness of such counterparties. In certain circumstances, Provident will require the counterparties to provide payment prior to delivery, letters of credit and/or parental guarantees. The carrying value of accounts receivable reflects management's assessment of the associated credit risks.\nLong-term debt and working capital\nProvident renegotiated an extension of its existing credit agreement (the \"Credit Facility\") as of October 14, 2011, with National Bank of Canada as administrative agent and a syndicate of Canadian chartered banks and other Canadian and foreign financial institutions (the \"Lenders\"). Pursuant to the amended Credit Facility, the Lenders have agreed to continue to provide Provident with a credit facility of $500 million which, under an accordion feature, can be increased to $750 million at the option of the Company, subject to obtaining additional commitments. The amended Credit Facility also provides for a separate Letter of Credit facility which has been increased from $60 million to $75 million.\nThe amended terms of the Credit Facility provide for a revolving three year period expiring on &lt;span class=\"xn-chron\">October 14, 2014, from the previous maturity date of June 28, 2013, (subject to customary extension provisions) secured by all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. Provident may draw on the facility by way of Canadian prime rate loans, U.S. base rate loans, banker's acceptances, LIBOR loans, or letters of credit.\nAs at September 30, 2011, Provident had drawn $210.8 million (including $1.8 million presented as a bank overdraft in accounts payable and accrued liabilities) or 42 percent of its Credit Facility (December 31, 2010 - $75.5 million or 15 percent). Included in the carrying value at September 30, 2011 were financing costs of $1.7 million (December 31, 2010 - $2.4 million). At September 30, 2011 the effective interest rate of the outstanding Credit Facility was 3.5 percent (December 31, 2010 - 4.1 percent). At September 30, 2011 Provident had $57.3 million in letters of credit outstanding (December 31, 2010 - $47.9 million) that guarantee Provident's performance under certain commercial and other contracts.\nThe following table shows the change in Provident's working capital position.\n($ 000s) September 30, 2011 December 31, 2010 Change\nCash and cash equivalents $ - $ 4,400 $ (4,400)\nAccounts receivable 183,296 206,631 (23,335)\nPetroleum product inventory 161,848 106,653 55,195\nFinancial derivative instruments 37,404 487 36,917\nAccounts payable and accrued liabilities 218,100 227,944 9,844\nCash distribution payable 8,997 12,646 3,649\nCurrent portion of convertible debentures - 148,981 148,981\nFinancial derivative instruments 63,717 37,849 (25,868)\nWorking capital surplus (deficit) $ 96,844 $ (106,710) $ 203,554\nThe ratio of long-term debt to adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the twelve months ended September 30, 2011 was 1.9 to one compared to annual 2010 long-term debt to adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations excluding buyout of financial derivative instruments and strategic review and restructuring costs of 2.1 to one.\nOn January 1, 2011, Provident Energy Trust (the \"Trust\") completed a conversion from an income trust structure to a corporate structure pursuant to a plan of arrangement. The conversion resulted in the reorganization of the Trust into a publicly traded, dividend-paying corporation under the name \"Provident Energy Ltd.\" Pursuant to the conversion, unitholders exchanged all of their trust units for common shares on a one-for-one basis (see notes 1 and 12 of the interim consolidated financial statements).\nUnder Provident's DRIP purchase plan 1.3 million shares were issued or are to be issued in the third quarter of 2011 representing proceeds of $10.3 million (2010 - 1.3 million trust units for proceeds of $8.5 million).\nAt September 30, 2011 management and directors held less than one percent of the outstanding common shares.\nCapital related expenditures and funding\nCapital related expenditures\nCapital expenditures $ (28,071) $ (10,965) 156 $ (74,988) $ (21,379) 251\nSite restoration expenditures\n- discontinued operations - - - - (2,041) (100)\nBuyout of financial derivative instruments - - - - (199,059) (100)\nAcquisitions - (9) (100) - (22,456) (100)\nNet capital related expenditures $ (28,071) $ (10,974) 156 $ (74,988) $ (244,935) (69)\n&lt;td align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\">\nFunds flow from operations net of declared\ndividends to shareholders and DRIP proceeds $ 36,434 $ 4,181 771 $ 76,391 $ (5,507) -\nProceeds on sale of assets - 3,300 (100) - 3,300 (100)\nProceeds on sale of discontinued operations - (5,000) (100) - 106,779 (100)\nCash provided by investing activities from\ndiscontinued operations - - - - 170,710 (100)\nIssuance of convertible debentures, net of issue costs - - - 164,950 - -\nRepayment of debentures - - - (249,784) - -\nIncrease in long-term debt 35,080 60,020 (42) 132,869 38,511 245\nChange in working capital, including cash (43,443) (51,527) (16) (49,438) (68,858) (28)\nNet capital related expenditure funding $ 28,071 $ 10,974 156 $ 74,988 $ 244,935 (69)\nProvident has funded its net capital expenditures with funds flow from operations, DRIP proceeds and long-term debt. In 2010, cash provided by investing activities from discontinued operations, which includes proceeds on sale of assets from the first quarter sales of oil and natural gas assets in West Central Alberta and the investment in Emerge Oil and Gas Inc. as well as cash proceeds from the second quarter sale of the remaining Upstream business, were applied to Provident's revolving term credit facility.\nShare based compensation includes expenses or recoveries associated with Provident's restricted and performance share plan. Share based compensation is recorded at the estimated fair value of the notional shares granted. Compensation expense associated with the plan is recognized in earnings over the vesting period of each grant. The expense or recovery associated with each period is recorded as non-cash share based compensation (a component of general and administrative expense). A portion relating to operational employees at field and plant locations is also allocated to operating expense. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, Provident recorded share based compensation expense from continuing operations of $11.3 million (2010 - $3.6 million) and made related cash payments of $6.7 million (2010 - $6.9 million). The expense was higher in 2011 as a result of an increase in the period of Provident's share trading price upon which the compensation is based and due to recoveries in the second quarter of 2010 from staff reductions resulting in cancelled and exercised units. The cash cost was included as part of severance in strategic review and restructuring costs. At September 30, 2011, the current portion of the liability totaled $13.9 million (December 31, 2010 - $7.4 million) and the long-term portion totaled $7.8 million (December 31, 2010 - $10.4 million).\nDiscontinued operations (Provident Upstream)\nOn June 29, 2010, Provident completed a strategic transaction in which Provident combined the remaining Provident Upstream business with Midnight Oil Exploration Ltd. (\"Midnight\") to form Pace Oil & Gas Ltd. pursuant to a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta). Under the arrangement, Midnight acquired all outstanding shares of Provident Energy Resources Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Provident Energy Trust which held all of the producing oil and gas properties and reserves associated with Provident's Upstream business. Effective in the second quarter of 2010, Provident's Upstream business is accounted for as discontinued operations.\nThe following table summarizes dividends and distributions paid as declared by Provident since inception:\nDistribution / Dividend Amount\nPer share / unit&lt;/b> (Cdn$) (US$)*\n2001 Cash Distributions paid as declared\n- March 2001 - December 2001 $ 2.54 $ 1.64\n2002 Cash Distributions paid as declared 2.03 1.29\nInception to December 31, 2010 - Cash Distributions paid as declared $ 15.24 $ 11.99\nCapital Distribution - June 29, 2010 1.16 1.10\nTotal inception to December 31, 2010 Cash Distributions and Capital Distribution $ 16.40 $ 13.09\n2011 Cash Dividends paid as declared\nJanuary 20, 2011 February 15, 2011 $ 0.045 $ 0.046\nFebruary 24, 2011 March 15, 2011 0.045 0.046\nMarch 22, 2011 April 15, 2011 0.045 0.047\nApril 20, 2011 May 13, 2011 0.045 0.046\nMay 26, 2011 June 15, 2011 0.045 0.046\nJune 22, 2011 July 15, 2011 0.045 0.047\nJuly 20, 2011 August 15, 2011 0.045 0.046\nAugust 24, 2011 September 15, 2011 0.045 0.046\nSeptember 21, 2011 October 14, 2011 0.045 0.044\nTotal 2011 Cash Dividends paid as declared $ 0.405 $ 0.414\n* Exchange rate based on the Bank of Canada noon rate on the payment date.\n(i)Recent accounting pronouncements\nThe International Accounting Standards Board (\"IASB\") issued a number of new accounting pronouncements including IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments, IFRS 10 - Consolidated Financial Statements, IFRS 11 - Joint Arrangements, IFRS 12 - Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities, and IFRS 13 - Fair Value Measurement as well as related amendments to IAS 27 - Separate Financial Statements and IAS 28 - Investments in Associates. These standards are required to be applied for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with earlier adoption permitted, with the exception of IFRS 9, which requires application for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015, with earlier adoption permitted. The Company has not yet assessed the impact of these standards.\n(ii)International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)\nThe Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles as set out in the Handbook of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (\"CICA Handbook\"). In 2010, the CICA Handbook was revised to incorporate International Financial Reporting Standards (\"IFRS\"), and requires publicly accountable enterprises to apply such standards effective for years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. This adoption date requires the restatement, for comparative purposes, of amounts reported by Provident for the annual and quarterly periods within the year ended December 31, 2010, including the opening consolidated statement of financial position as at January 1, 2010.\nProvident's first, second and third quarter 2011 interim consolidated financial statements reflect this change in accounting standards. Provident's basis of preparation and adoption of IFRS is described in note 2 of the interim consolidated financial statements. Significant accounting policies and related accounting judgments, estimates, and assumptions can be found in notes 3 and 4 of the interim consolidated financial statements. The effect of the Company's transition to IFRS, including transition elections, and reconciliations of the statements of financial position and the statements of operations between previous Canadian GAAP and IFRS is presented in note 5 to the interim consolidated financial statements.\nThe midstream industry is subject to risks that can affect the amount of cash flow from operations available for the payment of dividends to shareholders, and the ability to grow.

Structure of the Company\nProvident Energy Ltd. (the \"Company\" or \"Provident\") is incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) and domiciled in Canada. The address of its registered office is 2100, 250 - 2nd Street S.W.Calgary, Alberta. Provident owns and manages a natural gas liquids (\"NGL\") midstream business and was established as a result of the conversion from an income trust structure, Provident Energy Trust (the \"Trust\"), to a corporate structure pursuant to a plan of arrangement. The conversion resulted in the reorganization of the Trust into a publicly traded, dividend-paying corporation under the name \"Provident Energy Ltd.\" effective January 1, 2011. Under the plan of arrangement, former holders of trust units of the Trust received one common share in Provident Energy Ltd. in exchange for each trust unit held in the Trust.\nPursuant to the conversion, the Company acquired, directly and indirectly, the same assets and business that the Trust owned immediately prior to the effective time of the conversion and assumed all of the obligations of the Trust. In accordance with the conversion, the Trust was dissolved effective January 1, 2011 and thereafter ceased to exist. The principal undertakings of Provident Energy Ltd. and its predecessor Provident Energy Trust are collectively referred to as \"the Company\" or \"Provident\" and include the accounts of Provident and its subsidiaries and partnerships.\nThe conversion was accounted for on a continuity of interests basis. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows as if Provident Energy Ltd. had always carried on the business formerly carried on by the Trust. As a result of Provident's conversion from an income trust to a corporation, effective January 1, 2011, references to \"common shares\", \"shares\", \"share based compensation\", \"shareholders\", \"performance share units\", \"PSUs\", \"restricted share units\", \"RSUs\", \"premium dividend and dividend reinvestment share (DRIP) purchase plan \", and \"dividends\" were formerly referred to as \"trust units\", \"units\", \"unit based compensation\", \"unitholders\", \"performance trust units\", \"PTUs\", \"restricted trust units\", \"RTUs\", \"premium distribution, distribution reinvestment (DRIP) and optional unit purchase plan\", and \"distributions\", respectively, for periods prior to January 1, 2011.\nThe Company's financial results for any individual quarter are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. Interim period revenues and earnings are typically sensitive to weather and market conditions. In particular, demand and pricing for NGL products is typically seasonal and tends to result in periods of lower sales volumes during the second and third quarters as inventory is built up for sales in peak demand periods in the fourth quarter and first quarter of the following year when sales volumes are typically higher.\n2. Basis of preparation and adoption of IFRS\nThe Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles as set out in the Handbook of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (\"CICA Handbook\"). In 2010, the CICA Handbook was revised to incorporate International Financial Reporting Standards (\"IFRS\"), and requires publicly accountable enterprises to apply such standards effective for years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. Accordingly, the Company commenced reporting on this basis in the March 31, 2011 interim consolidated financial statements and for periods thereafter. In the financial statements, the term \"Canadian GAAP\" refers to Canadian GAAP before the adoption of IFRS.\nThese interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including IAS 34 -Interim Financial Reporting and IFRS 1 - First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards. Subject to certain transition elections disclosed in note 5, the Company has consistently applied the same accounting policies in its opening IFRS statement of financial position at January 1, 2010 and throughout all of the periods presented, as if these policies had always been in effect. Note 5 discloses the impact of the transition to IFRS on the Company's reported financial position and financial performance, including the nature and effect of significant changes in accounting policies from those used in the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010.\nThe policies applied in these interim consolidated financial statements are based on IFRS issued and outstanding as of November 9, 2011, the date the Board of Directors approved the statements. Any subsequent changes to IFRS that are given effect in the Company's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011 could result in restatement of these interim consolidated financial statements including the transition adjustments recognized on change-over to IFRS.\nThe interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Canadian GAAP annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010.\nThe following accounting policies apply to the continuing operations of the Company. Policies applicable to the former Upstream oil and gas operations are disclosed in note 18 - Discontinued operations.\ni) Principles of consolidation\nThe consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Provident Energy Ltd. and all direct and indirect subsidiaries and partnerships. All intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains and losses from intercompany transactions are eliminated on consolidation.\nii)Financial instruments\nFinancial assets and liabilities are classified as financial assets or liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held to maturity investments, available for sale financial assets, or other financial liabilities, as appropriate. When financial assets and liabilities are initially recognized, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs.\nProvident determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition. The Company's financial assets include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, financial derivative instruments and investments.\na)Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss\nFinancial assets at fair value through profit or loss includes financial assets held for trading and financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term. The Company's financial derivative instruments, including embedded derivatives, are classified as held for trading. Gains or losses on financial derivative instruments are recognized in profit or loss.\nb) Loans and receivables\nLoans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. After initial measurement, loans and receivables are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method less any allowance for impairment. Amortized cost is calculated taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and includes fees that are an integral part of the effective interest rate and transaction costs. Gains and losses are recognized in the income statements when the loans and receivables are derecognized or impaired, as well as through the amortization process. The Company's accounts receivables are included in this financial asset category.\nc) Cash and cash equivalents\nCash and cash equivalents include short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased.\na) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss\nFinancial liabilities at fair value include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term. Financial derivative instruments, including embedded derivatives, are classified as held for trading. Gains and losses on liabilities held for trading are recognized in profit and loss.\nb) Other liabilities\nOther liabilities are recorded initially at fair value of the consideration received less any related transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, the balances are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognized in the income statement when the liabilities are derecognized and through amortization expense recorded as financing charges. The Company's accounts payable, accrued liabilities other than share based compensation, cash distribution payable, long-term debt and convertible debentures are included within this financial liability category (also see item xiv).\niii) Property, plant & equipment\nThe initial cost of an asset comprises its purchase price or construction costs directly attributable to bringing the asset into operation, the initial estimate of the decommissioning obligation, and for qualifying assets, borrowing costs. The purchase price or construction cost is the aggregate amount paid and the fair value of any other consideration given to acquire the asset. Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and are recognized net in profit or loss.\nMidstream facilities, including natural gas liquids storage facilities and natural gas liquids processing and extraction facilities are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses and are depreciated at a component level on a straight-line basis over the estimated service lives of the assets, which range from 25 to 35 years. Capital assets related to pipelines are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses and are depreciated at a component level using the straight-line method over their economic lives of approximately 35 years.\nMinimum NGL product and cavern bottoms\nThe minimum NGL product is the minimum volume of NGL product needed as a permanent inventory to maintain adequate reservoir pressures and deliverability rates throughout the withdrawal season within the Company's owned assets. All tanks, caverns or other storage reservoirs require a minimum level of product in the storage caverns to maintain a minimum pressure. Below this minimum pressure, products cannot be readily extracted for sale. Minimum NGL product and cavern bottoms within the Company's owned assets are presented as part of Midstream assets within property, plant and equipment and are not depreciated.\nPipeline fills\nPipeline fills represent the petroleum based product purchased for the purpose of charging the pipeline system and partially filling the petroleum product storage tanks with an appropriate volume of petroleum products to enable the commercial operation of the facilities and pipeline for all Company owned pipelines and tanks. Pipeline fills within Provident's pipelines are presented as part of Midstream assets within property, plant and equipment and are not depreciated. Holdings of pipeline fills in third party carriers are recorded as product inventory.\nOffice equipment and other assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses and are generally depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives for office equipment and other assets are as follows:\nOffice equipment 5 - 6 years\nComputer hardware & software 3 - 4 years\nLeasehold improvements & other 10 years\nMajor maintenance and repairs, inspection, turnarounds and derecognition\nMajor maintenance and turnarounds are tracked on a project basis and reviewed by management for potential capitalization. These costs are depreciated on a straight-line basis over a period which represents the estimated period before the next planned maintenance or turnaround. All other maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Expenditures on major maintenance or repairs comprise the cost of replacement parts of assets, inspection costs and overhaul costs. Where an asset or part of an asset that was separately depreciated and is now written off is replaced and it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company, the expenditure is capitalized. In instances where an asset part is not separately considered a component, the replacement value is used to estimate the carrying amount of the replaced assets, and the previous carrying amount is immediately expensed.\nFor operating assets, the impairment test is performed at the cash generating unit level and for office equipment and other assets, the impairment test is performed at the individual asset level. A cash generating unit is determined to be the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.\nValues of assets are reviewed for impairment when indicators of such impairment exist. If any indication of impairment exists, an estimate of the asset's recoverable amount is calculated. The recoverable amount is determined as the higher of the fair value less costs to sell for the asset and the asset's value in use. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is deemed impaired and an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss so as to reduce the carrying amount of the asset to its recoverable amount.\nFor assets excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Company makes an estimate of the recoverable amount. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If that is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in profit or loss.\niv) Intangible assets\nIntangible assets acquired separately are recognized at cost upon initial recognition. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, the cost model is applied requiring the intangible asset to be carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Provident will assess whether the useful lives of intangible assets are finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from a period of 12 to 15 years. The amortization expense of intangible assets with finite lives is recognized in depreciation and amortization expense in profit or loss.\nGains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized.\nv) Joint arrangements\nA joint arrangement exists when a contractual arrangement exists that establishes shared decision making over the joint activities. Joint control is defined as the contractually agreed sharing of the power to govern the financial and operating policies of a venture so as to obtain benefits from its activities.\nA joint operation involves the use of assets and other resources of the Company and other venturers rather than the establishment of a corporation, partnership, or other entity. The Company recognizes in its financial statements the assets it controls and the liabilities it incurs and its share of the revenue and expenses from the sale of goods or services by the joint operation arrangement.\nA joint asset involves joint control and offers joint ownership by the Company and other venturers of assets contributed to or acquired for the purpose of the joint arrangement, without the formation of a corporation, partnership, or other entity. The Company accounts for its share of the joint assets, its share of jointly incurred liabilities with other venturers, any revenue from the sale or use of its share of the output of the joint asset, and any expenses incurred in relation to its interest in the joint asset from the sale of goods or services by the joint asset.\nvi) Leases\nOperating lease payments are recognized as an expense in the statement of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term.\nvii) Borrowing costs\nBorrowing costs directly attributable to the construction of assets that take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use are capitalized as part of the cost of the respective assets. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that the Company incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. The capitalization rate used to determine the amount of borrowing costs to be capitalized is the weighted average interest rate applicable to the Company's outstanding borrowings during the period.\nviii) Product inventory\nInventories of product are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value based on market prices. Cost is determined using the weighted average costing method and comprises direct purchase costs, costs of production, extraction and fractionation costs, and transportation costs.\nix) Goodwill\nGoodwill is initially measured at cost which represents the excess of the cost of an acquired enterprise over the net of the amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.\nGoodwill does not generate cash flows independently of other assets or groups of assets, and often contributes to the cash flows of multiple cash generating units. As a result, for the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is monitored at the operating business level.\nWhen a cash generating unit is disposed of, goodwill associated with the operation is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative values of the disposed operation.\nGoodwill is not amortized. Rather, Provident assesses goodwill for impairment at least annually and when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of the group of cash generating units that comprise the Midstream business to which the goodwill relates. The recoverable amount is determined based on a fair value less cost to sell calculation using cash flow projections from financial forecasts. If the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount of the group of cash generating units that comprise the Midstream business, an impairment loss is recognized. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods. Provident performs its annual impairment test of goodwill as at December 31.\nx) Decommissioning liabilities\nA decommissioning liability is recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to dismantle and remove a facility or an item of property, plant and equipment and restore the site on which it is located, and when a reliable estimate of that liability can be made. Normally an obligation arises for a new facility upon construction or installation. An obligation for decommissioning may also crystallize during the period of operation of a facility through a change in legislation or a decision to terminate operations.\nWhen a liability for decommissioning cost is recognized, a corresponding amount equivalent to the provision is also recognized as part of the cost of the related property, plant and equipment. The amount recognized represents management's estimate of the present value of the estimated future expenditures of dismantling, demolition and disposal of the facilities, remediation and restoration of the surface land as well as an estimate of the future timing of the costs to be incurred. These costs are subsequently depreciated as part of the costs of the facility or item of property, plant and equipment. Any changes in the estimated timing of the decommissioning or decommissioning cost estimates are accounted for prospectively by recording an adjustment to the provision, and a corresponding adjustment to property, plant and equipment.\nThe Company uses a nominal risk free discount rate. The accretion of the decommissioning liability is included as a financing charge.\nxi) Share based compensation\nProvident uses the fair value method of valuing the compensation plans whereby notional shares are granted to employees. The fair value of these notional shares is estimated and recorded as share based compensation (a component of general and administrative expenses). A portion relating to operational employees at field and plant locations is allocated to operating expense. The offsetting amount is recorded as accrued liabilities or other long-term liabilities. A realization of the expense and a resulting reduction in cash provided by operating activities occurs when a cash payment is made. The fair value measurement is determined at each reporting date using information available at that date.\nxii) Share dilution\nThe dilutive effect of convertible debentures is determined using the \"if-converted\" method whereby the outstanding debentures at the end of the period are assumed to have been converted at the beginning of the period or at the time of issue if issued during the year. Amounts charged to income or loss relating to the outstanding debentures are added back to net income for the diluted calculation.\nxiii) Income taxes\nCurrent income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period, and include any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.\nProvident follows the liability method for calculating deferred income taxes. Differences between the amounts reported in the financial statements of the Company and its corporate subsidiaries and their respective tax bases are applied to tax rates in effect to calculate the deferred tax asset or liability. The effect of any change in income tax rates is recognized in the current period income or equity, as appropriate.\nDeferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which the unused tax losses/credits can be utilized.\nDeferred income tax liabilities are provided in full for all taxable temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements.\nDeferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Discounting of deferred tax assets and liabilities is not permitted.\nDeferred income tax relating to items recognized directly in equity is recognized in equity and not in the consolidated statement of operations.\nxiv) Convertible debentures\nThe Company's convertible debentures are compound financial instruments consisting of a financial liability and an embedded conversion feature. In accordance with IAS 39, the embedded derivatives are required to be separated from the host contracts and accounted for as stand-alone instruments.\nDebentures containing a cash conversion option allow Provident to pay cash to the converting holder of the debentures, at the option of the Company. As such, the conversion feature is presented as a financial derivative liability within long term financial derivative instruments. On initial recognition, convertible debentures with a cash conversion option are measured using a method whereby the fair value of the embedded financial derivative instrument is measured using an option pricing model, with the residual amount allocated to the debt component.\nDebentures without a cash conversion option are settled in shares on conversion, and therefore the conversion feature is presented within equity, in accordance with its contractual substance. On initial recognition, the convertible debentures without a cash conversion feature are measured using the residual method whereby the debt component was recognized at fair value, with the conversion feature as the residual.\nSubsequent to initial recognition, the debt portion, net of issue costs, is accounted for at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, whereby the residual value of the debt is accreted up to the face value of the debentures. For debentures containing a cash conversion option, the conversion feature is measured at fair value through profit and loss at each reporting date, with any unrealized gains or losses arising from fair value changes reported in the statement of operations. Upon conversion, the corresponding portions of the debt and equity are removed from those captions and transferred to share capital.\nxv) Revenue recognition\nRevenue associated with the sale of product owned by Provident is recognized when title passes from Provident to its customer.\nRevenues associated with the services provided where Provident acts as agent are recorded on a net basis when the services are provided. Revenues associated with the sale of natural gas liquids storage services are recognized when the services are provided.\nxvi) Foreign currency translation\nThe consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is Provident's functional and presentation currency. Provident's subsidiaries with foreign operations have a functional currency of Canadian dollars. Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the functional currency rate at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the functional currency rate of exchange at the balance sheet date, non-monetary items measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions, and revenues and expenses are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions, with the exception of depreciation and amortization which is translated on the same basis as the related assets. Translation gains and losses are included in income in the period in which they arise.\nxvii) Accounting standards issued but not yet applied\n4. Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions\nThe preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions based on currently available information that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and judgments are continuously evaluated and are based on management's experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results could differ from those estimated. By their very nature, these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and the effect on the financial statements of future periods could be material.\nIn the process of applying the Company's accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, estimates, and assumptions which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements:\nDue to the inherent limitations in metering and the physical properties of storage caverns and pipelines, the determination of precise volumes of natural gas liquids held in inventory at such locations is subject to estimation. Actual inventories of natural gas liquids can only be determined by draining of the caverns. By their very nature, these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and the effect on the financial statements of future periods could be material.\nImpairment indicators\nThe recoverable amounts of cash generating units and individual assets have been determined based on the higher of value in use calculations and fair values less costs to sell. These calculations require the use of estimates and assumptions.\nGoodwill is tested for impairment annually and at other times when impairment indicators exist. Impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of the group of cash generating units that comprise the Midstream business to which the goodwill relates. In assessing goodwill for impairment, it is reasonably possible that the commodity price assumptions, sales volumes, supply cost, discount rates, and tax rates may change which may then impact the recoverable amount of the group of cash generating units which comprise the Midstream business and may then require a material adjustment to the carrying value of goodwill.\nFor the Midstream business, it is reasonably possible that these assumptions may change which may then impact the recoverable amounts of the cash generating units and may then require a material adjustment to the carrying value of its tangible and intangible assets. The Company monitors internal and external indicators of impairment relating to its tangible and intangible assets.\nDecommissioning and restoration costs\nDecommissioning and restoration costs will be incurred by the Company at the end of the operating life of certain of the Company's facilities and properties. The ultimate decommissioning and restoration costs are uncertain and cost estimates can vary in response to many factors including changes to relevant legal and regulatory requirements, the emergence of new restoration techniques or experience at other production sites. The expected timing and amount of expenditure can also change, for example, in response to changes in laws and regulations or their interpretation. In determining the amount of the provision, assumptions and estimates are required in relation to discount rates. As a result, there could be significant adjustments to the provisions established which would affect future financial results.\nThe decommissioning provisions have been created based on Provident's internal estimates. Assumptions, based on the current economic environment, have been made which management believe are a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the future liability. These estimates are reviewed regularly to take into account any material changes to the assumptions. However, actual decommissioning costs will ultimately depend upon future market prices for the necessary decommissioning works required which will reflect market conditions at the relevant time.\nThe Company follows the liability method for calculating deferred income taxes. Differences between the amounts reported in the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries and their respective tax bases are applied to tax rates in effect to calculate the deferred tax liability. In addition, the Company recognizes the future tax benefit related to deferred income tax assets to the extent that it is probable that the deductible temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future. Assessing the recoverability of deferred income tax assets requires the Company to make significant estimates related to the expectations of future cash flows from operations and the application of existing tax laws in each jurisdiction. To the extent that future cash flows and taxable income differ significantly from estimates, the ability of the Company to realize the deferred tax assets and liabilities recorded at the balance sheet date could be impacted. Additionally, future changes in tax laws in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates could limit the ability of the Company to obtain tax deductions in future periods.\nBy their nature, contingencies will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The assessment of contingencies inherently involves the exercise of significant judgment and estimates of the outcome of future events.\nThe Company uses the fair value method of valuing compensation expense associated with the Company's share based compensation plan whereby notional shares are granted to employees. Estimating fair value requires determining the most appropriate valuation model for a grant of equity instruments, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. The assumptions are discussed in note 13. Actual payments made on settlement may differ from estimates and the difference could be material.\nThe Company's financial derivative instruments are initially recognized on the statement of financial position at fair value based on management's estimate of commodity prices, share price and associated volatility, foreign exchange rates, interest rates, and the amounts that would have been received or paid to settle these instruments prior to maturity given future market prices and other relevant factors. By their nature, these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and the effect on the financial statements of future periods could be material.\n5. Transition to IFRS\nProvident has prepared its financial statements in accordance with Canadian GAAP for all periods up to and including the year ended December 31, 2010. These financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 comply with IFRS applicable for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011 and the significant accounting policies meeting those requirements are described in note 3.\nThe effect of the Company's transition to IFRS are summarized in this note as follows:\ni) Transition elections;\nii) Reconciliation of the consolidated statements of financial position, including shareholders' equity, as previously reported under Canadian GAAP to IFRS; and\niii) Reconciliation of the consolidated statements of operations as previously reported under Canadian GAAP to IFRS.\ni) Transition elections\nProvident has prepared its IFRS opening consolidated statement of financial position as at January 1, 2010, its date of transition to IFRS. In the preparation of this opening statement of financial position, IFRS 1 allows first-time adopters certain exemptions from the general requirement to apply IFRS retrospectively. Provident has applied the following transition exceptions and exemptions to full retrospective application of IFRS:\na) Business combinations - Provident has elected not to apply IFRS 3 retrospectively to business combinations that occurred prior to transition to IFRS on January 1, 2010. Rather, the Company has elected to apply IFRS 3 relating to business combinations prospectively from January 1, 2010. As such previous Canadian GAAP balances relating to business combinations entered into before that date, including goodwill, have been carried forward without adjustment.\nb) Changes in decommissioning, restoration and similar liabilities - IFRIC 1 Changes in Existing Decommissioning, Restoration and Similar Liabilities requires specified changes in a decommissioning, restoration or similar liability to be added to or deducted from the cost of the asset to which it relates. The adjusted depreciable amount of the asset is then depreciated prospectively over its remaining useful life. However, IFRS 1 allows Provident to measure decommissioning, restoration and similar liabilities as at the date of transition to IFRS in accordance with IAS 37 rather than reflecting the impact of changes in such liabilities that occurred before the date of transition to IFRS.\nc) Property, plant and equipment - The deemed cost of oil and natural gas properties at January 1, 2010, the date of transition to IFRS, was determined by reference to IFRS 1 - First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards. Upon adoption, the Company has elected to apply the full cost exemption to measure oil and gas assets in the development or production phases by allocating the carrying value determined under Canadian GAAP to cash generating units pro rata using proved and probable reserve values on the date of transition. In addition, any differences arising from the adoption of IFRS from previous Canadian GAAP for decommissioning liabilities related to the Upstream business have been recognized in accumulated deficit on the transition date in accordance with IFRS 1.\nd) Arrangements containing leases - IFRS 1 allows a first-time adopter to apply the transitional provisions in IFRIC 4 - Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, which allows a first-time adopter to determine whether an arrangement existing at the date of transition to IFRS contains a lease on the basis of facts and circumstances existing at that date. As a first-time adopter, Provident made the same determination of whether an arrangement contained a lease in accordance with previous Canadian GAAP as that required by IFRIC 4 but at a date other than that required by IFRIC 4.\nii) The following is a reconciliation of the consolidated statements of financial position, including shareholders' equity,as previously reported under Canadian GAAP to IFRS:\n($000's) December 31, 2010 September 30, 2010 January 1, 2010\nNote CDN GAAP Adj IFRS CDN GAAP Adj IFRS CDN GAAP Adj IFRS\nCash and cash equivalents 4,400 -

For a description of the transition adjustments applicable to discontinued operations, see item I.\nA. Petroleum product inventory - Product inventory required to be stored in third party pipelines as pipeline fill was recorded in property, plant and equipment (\"PP&E\") under previous Canadian GAAP. Under IFRS, these amounts are recorded as part of petroleum product inventory. Upon transition to IFRS, $21.5 million has been transferred from PP&E to petroleum product inventory. The additional inventory has been processed through the inventory costing calculations with a corresponding impact on cost of goods sold of an additional $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and a reduction of $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. Inventory required for linefill and cavern bottoms in assets owned by Provident remains capitalized in PP&E.\nB. Decommissioning liabilities - The amounts recorded under previous Canadian GAAP were the estimated future cash flows discounted at the Company's average credit-adjusted risk free rate of seven percent. Under IFRS, the amounts are discounted using a risk free rate of four percent. Provident recorded an adjustment to increase the decommissioning liabilities for continuing operations by $34.4 million with an offsetting increase in PP&E of $23.3 million and accumulated deficit of $11.1 million representing the pre-2010 earnings impact of this adjustment. The impact of this adjustment on earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and annual 2010 earnings was additional accretion expense of $0.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively.\nC. Convertible debentures equity component - Under previous Canadian GAAP, the portion of initial value associated with the conversion feature of a convertible debenture is classified as a separate component of equity. As a consequence of Provident's status as an income Trust in 2010, IFRS requires the conversion feature of convertible debentures to be classified as a financial instrument on transition and marked-to-market each reporting period. Since the conversion feature of the debentures outstanding on January 1, 2010 was sufficiently out-of-the-money, the fair value of this feature was determined to be nil. As a result, the Canadian GAAP balance of the equity component of convertible debentures at January 1, 2010 of $15.9 million, as well as $2.3 million of related balances in contributed surplus, have been reclassified to accumulated deficit on the transition date.\nIn addition, in the fourth quarter of 2010, a new convertible debenture was issued by Provident. Under previous Canadian GAAP, the portion of the initial value of the debenture associated with the conversion feature of $9.2 million was recorded as a separate component of equity. Under IFRS, the value of this conversion feature has been reclassified to long-term financial derivative instruments in the statement of financial position. Under IFRS, Provident is also required to mark-to-market this conversion feature at each reporting period, which resulted in the Company recording an unrealized loss of approximately $0.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 in loss on revaluation of conversion feature of convertible debentures in the statement of operations with a corresponding offset to long-term financial derivative instruments.\nD. Depreciation and amortization - IFRS requires that depreciation be calculated at a component level, which resulted in additional depreciation expense from continuing operations of $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.\nE. Financing charges - Under IFRS, accretion expense associated with decommissioning liabilities is recorded as a financing charge. Under previous Canadian GAAP, accretion expense from continuing operations of $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 related to asset retirement obligations was recorded under depletion, depreciation and accretion expense. Accordingly, these amounts have been reclassified from depletion, depreciation and accretion expense to financing charges. As a result of this change, the caption depletion, depreciation and accretion expense has been changed to be depreciation and amortization expense.\nThe balances recorded under previous Canadian GAAP as interest on bank debt and interest and accretion on convertible debentures are now included under financing charges under IFRS.\nF. Other long-term liabilities - Included in other long-term liabilities are obligations associated with residual Upstream properties. Under previous Canadian GAAP, these obligations were calculated using an average credit-adjusted risk free rate of seven percent. Under IFRS, the obligations are discounted using a risk free rate of four percent which resulted in Provident recording an adjustment of $3.4 million as at September 30, 2010 and $0.9 million as at December 31, 2010.\nG. Deferred income taxes - The transition adjustment associated with continuing operations was $13.1 million. This IFRS difference is primarily due to the tax rate applied to temporary differences associated with SIFT entities. Under previous Canadian GAAP, Provident used the rate expected to be in effect when the timing differences reverse. However, under IFRS, Provident is required to use the highest rate applicable for undistributed earnings in these entities. In addition, IFRS requires the calculation of deferred taxes related to foreign exchange differences on balances denominated in foreign currencies. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the impact of IFRS differences on deferred taxes related to continuing operations was an additional recovery of $1.8 million. The 2010 annual net income from continuing operations impact of IFRS differences on deferred taxes was an additional recovery of $9.2 million, resulting in a total adjustment of $22.3 million at December 31, 2010.\nUpon conversion to a corporation on January 1, 2011, all timing differences are now measured under IFRS using a corporate tax rate and, as a result, the majority of the IFRS differences at December 31, 2010 for deferred income taxes has reversed through first quarter 2011 net earnings as a deferred tax expense.\nH. Accumulated deficit - The following is a summary of transition adjustments to the Company's accumulated deficit from Canadian GAAP to IFRS:\n($ millions) Note December 31 September 30 January 1\nAccumulated deficit as reported under Canadian GAAP $ (2,307.1) $ (2,320.2) $ (1,471.7)\nIFRS transition adjustments increase (decrease) on opening statement of financial position related to continuing operations:\nPetroleum product inventory A 0.4 0.4 0.4\nDecommissioning liabilities B (11.1) (11.1) (11.1)\nConvertible debentures C 18.2 18.2 18.2\nOther long-term liabilities F (0.9) (0.9) (0.9)\nDeferred income taxes G 13.1 13.1 13.1\nIFRS transition adjustments increase (decrease) on opening statement of financial position related to discontinued operations:\nImpairment on Upstream oil and gas properties I (391.5) (391.5) (391.5)\nDecommissioning liabilities I (36.1) (36.1) (36.1)\nDeferred income taxes I 111.7 111.7 111.7\n(315.9) (315.9) (315.9)\nTotal net impact on opening statement of financial position $ (296.2) $ (296.2) $ (296.2)\nIFRS transition adjustments increase (decrease) net income from continuing operations:\nCost of goods sold A $ 1.3 $ (0.7) $ -\nLoss on financial derivative instruments C (0.4) - -\nDepreciation and amortization D, E 1.2 0.8 -\nFinancing charges B, E (2.5) (1.8) -\nDeferred income taxes G 9.1 1.8 -\nIFRS transition adjustments increase (decrease) net income from discontinued operations:\nDepletion expense I 40.2 40.2 -\nLoss on sale of oil and gas properties I (8.1) (8.1) -\nLoss on sale of discontinued operations I 296.0 293.5 -\nDeferred income taxes I (12.2) (12.2) -\n315.9 313.4 -\nTotal net impact on statement of operations $ 324.6 $ 313.5 $ -\nAccumulated deficit as reported under IFRS $ (2,278.7) $ (2,302.9) $ (1,767.9)\nI. Discontinued operations - There are a number of IFRS adjustments associated with the Upstream business impacting both the statement of financial position on the date of transition, January 1, 2010 and 2010 net earnings from discontinued operations. However, the total impact of the combined differences related to the Upstream business on Provident's equity balance at December 31, 2010 was nil. Explanatory notes to the IFRS 1 transition reconciliations for discontinued operations are summarized in the following table:\n&lt;/tr>\nDiscontinued operations ($ millions) Note December 31 September 30 January 1\nIFRS transition adjustments increase (decrease) on opening statement\nof financial position:\nImpairment on Upstream oil and gas properties 1 $ (391.5) $ (391.5) $ (391.5)\nDecommissioning liabilities 2 (36.1) (36.1) (36.1)\nDeferred income taxes 5 111.7 111.7 111.7\nIFRS adjustments increase (decrease) net income on statement\nDepletion expense 1 40.2 40.2 -\nLoss on sale of oil and gas properties 3 (8.1) (8.1) -\nLoss on sale of discontinued operations 6 296.0 293.5 -\nDeferred income taxes 5 (12.2) (12.2) -\nNet impact on accumulated deficit $ - $ (2.5) $ (315.9)\n1) Property, plant and equipment - On transition to IFRS, Provident elected to use the IFRS 1 exemption for its Upstream oil & gas assets, allowing for the allocation of historical book values as reported under previous Canadian GAAP to the individual cash generating units on a pro rata basis. If this election is made, each of the cash generating units is required to be tested for impairment. Any impairment loss is recorded in accumulated deficit on the transition date. Accordingly, Provident recorded a $391.5 million impairment loss on transition to IFRS. The lower carrying value for the Upstream assets on transition resulted in a lower loss on sale of the business in the second quarter of 2010 compared to previous Canadian GAAP.\nIn addition, upon transition to IFRS, Provident had the option to continue to calculate depletion similar to previous Canadian GAAP using a reserve base of only proved reserves or to use proved plus probable reserves. Provident has elected to use proved plus probable reserves under IFRS. The combination of a lower carrying value due to the impairment loss on transition and the larger depletion base resulted in lower depletion charges related to the Upstream business under IFRS of $40.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and for the year ended December 31, 2010. This difference is also offset in the loss on sale of the Upstream business in the second quarter of 2010.\n2) Decommissioning liabilities - The amounts recorded under previous Canadian GAAP were the estimated future cash flows discounted at the Company's average credit-adjusted risk free rate of seven percent. Under IFRS, the amounts are discounted using a risk free rate of four percent. The adjustment related to the Upstream business, was an increase of the decommissioning liabilities by $36.1 million with the offset to accumulated deficit.\n3) Assets held for sale - IFRS requires that assets held for sale be presented separately on the statement of financial position. Previous Canadian GAAP made an exception to this rule for certain upstream oil and gas related transactions. The sale of West Central Alberta assets held in the Upstream business was announced in December 2009. Therefore, assets and associated decommissioning liabilities of $186.4 million and $2.8 million, respectively, related to this transaction have been presented separately on the statement of financial position, at their fair value, determined with reference to the negotiated sales price adjusted for earnings between December 31, 2009 and the date of closing on March 1, 2010. This transaction resulted in a loss on sale of $8.1 million in the first quarter of 2010.\n4) Exploration and evaluation (\"E&E\") expenditures - IFRS requires that E&E expenditures be presented separately from PP&E on the statement of financial position. Provident has segregated approximately $24.7 million of its PP&E in accordance with the IFRS 1 full cost exemption as at January 1, 2010. In the first and second quarters of 2010, an additional $0.8 million and $0.2 million was incurred, respectively, which also was classified as E&E. The costs consist primarily of land that relates to Upstream undeveloped properties which has not been depleted but rather is assessed for impairment when indicators suggest the possibility of impairment.\n5) Taxes - The transition adjustment for deferred income taxes on transition to IFRS is primarily due to changes in the carrying amount of Upstream assets on the January 1, 2010 statement of financial position and the corresponding impact on temporary differences used to determine the deferred income tax balance. As a result, an adjustment of $111.7 million was recorded with an offset amount recorded in accumulated deficit. Additionally, a reduction in deferred income tax recoveries of $12.2 million were incurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and for the year ended December 31, 2010 primarily as a result of lower depletion expense under IFRS.\n6) Loss on sale of discontinued operations - The loss on sale of discontinued operations was impacted by each of the IFRS adjustments 1 through 5 listed above, resulting in an IFRS adjustment to the loss on sale of discontinued operations of $293.5 million and $296.0 million, net of tax, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and year ended December 31, 2010, respectively.\n6. Petroleum product inventory\nWhen inventories are sold, the carrying amount of those inventories is recognized as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognized. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recognized $355.1 million (2010 - $292.8 million) and $1.1 billion (2010 - $977.0 million), respectively, of product inventory as an expense in cost of goods sold. The amount of any write-down of inventories to net realizable value and all losses of inventories are recognized as an expense and included in cost of goods sold in the period the write-down or loss occurs. Any reversals of write-downs are also included in cost of goods sold. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, no write-down or reversal of write-downs of inventories were recognized in the consolidated statement of operations.\n($000s) Midstream\nassets Office\n& other Subtotal Oil &\nproperties Total\nBalance as at January 1, 2010 $ 886,442 $ 47,174 $ 933,616 $ 2,682,180 $ 3,615,796\nAdditions 55,768 920 56,688 38,444 95,132\nAcquisitions 22,456 - 22,456 5,117 27,573\nDisposals - (2,603) (2,603) (2,725,741) (2,728,344)\nBalance as at December 31, 2010 964,666 45,491 1,010,157 - 1,010,157\nAdditions 73,766 512 74,278 - 74,278\nCapitalized interest, net of recoveries 711 - 711 - 711\nChange in decommissioning provision 21,159 - 21,159 - 21,159\nOther - 74 74 - 74\nRemoval of fully depreciated assets (1,765) (23,601) (25,366) - (25,366)\nBalance as at September 30, 2011 $ 1,058,537 $ 22,476 $ 1,081,013 $ - $ 1,081,013\nAccumulated depletion and depreciation:\nDepletion and depreciation for the period 25,729 7,056 32,785 123,940 156,725\nDisposals - (860) (860) (2,173,138) (2,173,998)\nBalance as at December 31, 2010 142,385 33,982 176,367 - 176,367\nDepreciation for the period 18,733 4,049 22,782 - 22,782\nRemoval of fully depreciated assets (1,765) < td> (25,366) - (25,366)\nBalance as at September 30, 2011 $ 159,353 $ 14,430 $ 173,783 $ - $ 173,783\nNet book value:\nNet book value as at January 1, 2010 $ 769,786 $ 19,388 $ 789,174 $ 632,982 $ 1,422,156\nNet book value as at December 31, 2010 $ 822,281 $ 11,509 $ 833,790 $ - $ 833,790\nNet book value as at September 30, 2011 $ 899,184 $ 8,046 $ 907,230 $ - $ 907,230\nCapitalized borrowing costs\nThe amount of borrowing costs directly attributable to the construction of assets that take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use capitalized during the period ended September 30, 2011 was $0.7 million (2010 - nil). The rate used to calculate the amount of borrowing costs capitalized was the weighted average interest rate applicable to the Company's outstanding borrowings during the period.\nSeptimus to Younger pipeline project\nOn March 2, 2011, Provident announced an agreement between Provident Energy Ltd., AltaGas Ltd. (\"AltaGas\"), and a senior producer, to construct a 16-inch rich gas pipeline from a Montney gas plant to the AltaGas/Provident Younger deep cut natural gas processing facility in northeastern British Columbia. Under the agreement, Provident and AltaGas will each own a 30 percent interest in the project. The 25 kilometre pipeline will serve as a trunk line to support the gathering of up to 250 million cubic feet per day of natural gas from the liquids-rich Montney area. The estimated cost to complete the pipeline is approximately $30 million, of which Provident has committed to spend $9 million.\nrelationships Other\nBalance as at January 1, 2010 $ 183,100 $ 16,308 $ 199,408\nBalance as at December 31, 2010 183,100 16,308 199,408\nRemoval of fully amortized assets (21,100) - (21,100)\nBalance as at September 30, 2011 $ 162,000 $ 16,308 $ 178,308\nAccumulated amortization:\nBalance as at January 1, 2010 $ 61,862 $ 5,068 $ 66,930\n2010 amortization 13,200 433 13,633\nBalance as at December 31, 2010 75,062 5,501 80,563\nAmortization for the period 8,611 321 8,932\nBalance as at September 30, 2011 $ 62,573 $ 5,822 $ 68,395\nNet book value as at January 1, 2010 $ 121,238 $ 11,240 $ 132,478\nNet book value as at December 31, 2010 $ 108,038 $ 10,807 $ 118,845\nNet book value as at September 30, 2011 $ 99,427 $ 10,486 $ 109,913\nUseful life (years) 15 12 -15\nRemaining amortization period (years) 9.25 9.25\nProvident performed a goodwill impairment test at January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2010 which determined that the recoverable amount of the group of cash generating units that comprise the Midstream business was in excess of the respective carrying value. Accordingly, no write-down of goodwill was required. The recoverable amount was determined based on a fair value less costs to sell calculation using cash flow projections from financial forecasts approved by management covering a 10 year period. Key assumptions upon which management based its determinations of the recoverable amount for the goodwill in 2010 include operating margins which are projected to increase by approximately 3% by 2020, attributable to capital expenditures and expected growth in the fee-for-service business, combined with a positive commodity pricing outlook and a weighted average discount rate of 10.5%. The forecast included future commodity price assumptions based on forward commodity price curves effective at December 31, 2010 with the assumption that prices will stabilize at approximately US$92.00/bbl for WTI crude oil and $5.00/mmbtu for AECO natural gas by 2014 and increase at inflationary rates thereafter.\nRevolving term credit facility $ 206,482 $ 72,882\nCurrent portion of convertible debentures - 148,981\ni) Revolving term credit facility\nThe amended terms of the Credit Facility provide for a revolving three year period expiring on October 14, 2014, from the previous maturity date of June 28, 2013, (subject to customary extension provisions) secured by all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. Provident may draw on the facility by way of Canadian prime rate loans, U.S. base rate loans, banker's acceptances, LIBOR loans, or letters of credit. As at September 30, 2011, Provident had drawn $210.8 million (including $1.8 million presented as a bank overdraft in accounts payable and accrued liabilities) or 42 percent of its Credit Facility (December 31, 2010 - $75.5 million or 15 percent). Included in the carrying value at September 30, 2011 were financing costs of $1.7 million (December 31, 2010 - $2.4 million). At September 30, 2011 the effective interest rate of the outstanding Credit Facility was 3.5 percent (December 31, 2010 - 4.1 percent). At September 30, 2011 Provident had $57.3 million in letters of credit outstanding (December 31, 2010 - $47.9 million) that guarantee Provident's performance under certain commercial and other contracts.\nii) Convertible debentures\nOn January 13, 2011, in connection with the corporate conversion, Provident Energy Ltd. announced an offer to purchase for cash its 6.5% convertible debentures maturing on August 31, 2012 (the \"C series\") and its 6.5% convertible debentures maturing on April 30, 2011 (the \"D series\") at a price equal to 101 percent of their principal amounts plus accrued interest. The offer was completed on February 21, 2011 and resulted in Provident taking up and cancelling $4.1 million principal amount of C series debentures and $81.3 million principal amount of D series debentures. The transaction resulted in Provident recognizing a loss on repurchase of $1.2 million in financing charges in the consolidated statement of operations. The total offer price, including accrued interest, was funded by Provident Energy Ltd.'s existing revolving term credit facility.\nOn April 30, 2011 the remaining D series debentures, with a principal amount of $68.6 million matured as scheduled. Provident funded the maturity through the revolving term credit facility.\nIn May 2011, Provident issued $172.5 million aggregate principal amount of convertible unsecured subordinated debentures ($165.0 million, net of issue costs). The debentures bear interest at 5.75% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 30 and December 31 each year commencing December 31, 2011 and mature on December 31, 2018. The debentures may be converted into equity at the option of the holder at a conversion price of $12.55 per share prior to the earlier of December 31, 2018 and the date of redemption, and may be redeemed by Provident under certain circumstances. Upon conversion of the 5.75% debentures, Provident may elect to pay the holder cash at the option of Provident. The debt component of the debentures was initially recorded at fair value of $164.1 million ($156.6 million, net of issue costs). The difference between the fair value and net proceeds of $8.4 million represents the conversion feature of the debentures and was recorded as a long-term financial derivative instrument.\nOn May 25, 2011, Provident redeemed all of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the C series 6.5% convertible debentures at a redemption price equal to $1,000 in cash per $1,000 principal amount, plus accrued interest. The redemption resulted in Provident taking up and cancelling the remaining outstanding $94.9 million principal amount of C series debentures. Provident recognized a loss on repurchase of $2.1 million in financing charges in the consolidated statement of operations. The total redemption, including accrued interest, was funded by Provident Energy Ltd.'s existing revolving term credit facility.\nProvident may elect to satisfy interest and principal obligations on the convertible debentures by the issuance of shares. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, $50 thousand of the face value of debentures were converted to shares at the election of debenture holders (2010 - nil). Included in the carrying value at September 30, 2011 were financing costs of $14.0 million (December 31, 2010 - $9.0 million).

Decommissioning liabilities\nProvident's decommissioning liabilities are based on its net ownership in property, plant and equipment and represents management's estimate of the costs to abandon and reclaim those assets as well as an estimate of the future timing of the costs to be incurred. Estimated cash flows have been discounted at Provident's nominal risk free rate and an inflation rate of two percent has been estimated for future years. In the third quarter of 2011, Provident adjusted the nominal risk free rate from four percent down to three percent, to reflect recent interest rate changes in long-term benchmark bond yields. The resulting adjustment of $21.2 million is presented as a change in estimate.\n($000s) 2011 2010 2011 2010\nCarrying amount, beginning of period $ 58,377 $ 56,132 $ 57,232 $ 127,800\nAcquisitions - - - 3,902\nDispositions - discountinued operations - - - (65,184)\nIncrease in liabilities incurred during the period - - - 220\nSettlement of liabilities during the period\n- discontinued operations - - - (2,041)\nTransfer to other long-term liabilities (1) - - - (18,194)\nAccretion of liability - continuing operations 572 550 1,717 1,613\nAccretion of liability - discontinued operations - - - 1,494\nChange in estimate 21,159 - 21,159 7,072\nCarrying amount, end of period $ 80,108 $ 56,682 $ 80,108 $ 56,682\n(1) Commencing on June 30, 2010, obligations associated with residual Upstream properties have been classified as other long-term liabilities on the statement of financial position.\nOn January 1, 2011, the Trust completed a conversion from an income trust structure to a corporate structure pursuant to a plan of arrangement on the basis of one common share in Provident Energy Ltd. in exchange for each trust unit held in the Trust. The conversion resulted in the reorganization of the Trust into a publicly traded, dividend-paying corporation under the name \"Provident Energy Ltd.\"\ni) Share capital\nCommon Shares Number of\nIssued on conversion to a corporation effective January 1, 2011 268,765,492 $ 2,866,268\nIssued pursuant to the dividend reinvestment plan 2,865,408 22,681\nTo be issued pursuant to the dividend reinvestment plan 382,789 3,227\nDebenture conversions 4,325 49\nBalance at September 30, 2011 272,018,014 $ 2,892,225\nProvident has an unlimited number of common shares authorized for issuance.\nii) Unitholders' contributions\nTrust Units Number of\nBalance at January 1, 2010 264,336,636 $ 2,834,177\nIssued pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan 4,002,565 28,635\nTo be issued pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan 426,291 3,456\nBalance at December 31, 2010 268,765,492 $ 2,866,268\nCancelled on conversion to a corporation effective January 1, 2011 (268,765,492) (2,866,268)\nBalance at September 30, 2011 - $ -\nThe basic and diluted per share amounts for the three months ended September 30, 2011 were calculated based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding of 270,980,788 (2010 - 266,418,768).\nThe basic and diluted per share amounts for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were calculated based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding of 269,920,292 (2010 - 265,436,507).\n13. Share based compensation\ni) Restricted/Performance share units\nCertain employees of Provident are granted restricted share units (RSUs) and/or performance share units (PSUs), both of which entitle the employee to receive cash compensation in relation to the value of a specific number of underlying notional share units. The grants are based on criteria designed to recognize the long term value of the employee to the organization. RSUs typically vest evenly over a period of three years commencing at the grant date. Payments are made on the anniversary dates of the RSU to the employees entitled to receive them on the basis of a cash payment equal to the value of the underlying notional share units. PSUs vest three years from the date of grant and can be increased to a maximum of double the PSUs granted or a minimum of nil PSUs depending on the Company's performance based on certain benchmarks.\nThe fair value estimate associated with the RSUs and PSUs is expensed in the statement of operations over the vesting period. At September 30, 2011, $13.9 million (December 31, 2010 - $7.4 million) is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities for this plan and $7.8 million (December 31, 2010 - $10.4 million) is included in other long-term liabilities. The following table reconciles the expense recorded for RSUs and PSUs.\nGeneral and administrative $ 3,182 $ 1,140 $ 10,467 $ 3,593\nProduction, operating and maintenance\nexpense (recovery) 261 (34) 829 48\nThe following table provides a continuity of the Company's RSU and PSU plans:\nUnits outstanding RSUs PSUs\nOpening balance, January 1, 2011 1,175,008 2,443,581\nGrants 542,999 470,069\nReinvested through notional dividends 59,869 115,209\nExercised (560,215) (722,082)\nForfeited (14,454) (11,636)\nEnding balance September 30, 2011 1,203,207 2,295,141\nAt September 30, 2011, all RSUs and PSUs have been valued at a share price of $8.58 and, as at September 30, 2011 each PSU has been valued using a multiplier of 1.25, 1.35, and 1.00, for the 2009, 2010, and 2011 grants, respectively.\nPrior to conversion to a corporation effective January 1, 2011, IFRS requires temporary differences at the Trust level to be reflected at the highest rate at which individuals would be taxed on undistributed profits. Upon corporate conversion, deferred tax balances are determined using the applicable statutory rate for corporations.\nIncome tax expense is recognized based on management's best estimate of the weighted average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year. The estimated average rate used for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was 27.5 percent and 33.5 percent, respectively.\nThe following table is a summary of the net financial derivative instruments liability:\nAs at September 30, As at December 31,\n($ 000s) 2011 2010\nCrude oil (31,799) 28,313\nNatural gas 19,642 19,102\nNGL's (includes propane, butane) 30,780 10,363\nForeign exchange 11,959 (28)\nElectricity (1,134) (421)\nInterest 3,224 (366)\nConversion feature of convertible debentures 23,258 9,586\nFor convertible debentures containing a cash conversion option, the conversion feature is measured at fair value through profit and loss at each reporting date, with any unrealized gains or losses arising from fair value changes reported in the consolidated statement of operations. This resulted in Provident recording losses of $4.1 million (2010 - nil) and $5.3 million (2010 - nil) on the revaluation on the conversion feature of convertible debentures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.\nIn April, 2010, Provident completed the buyout of all fixed price crude oil and natural gas swaps associated with the Midstream business for a total realized cost of $199.1 million. The carrying value of these specific contracts at March 31, 2010 was a liability of $177.7 million resulting in an offsetting unrealized gain in the second quarter of 2010. The buyout of Provident's forward mark-to-market positions allowed Provident to refocus its Commodity Price Risk Management Program on forward selling a portion of actual produced NGL products and inventory to lock-in margins for terms of up to two years. Provident has retained certain participating crude oil and natural gas swaps and NGL throughput and inventory contracts that utilize financial derivative instruments based directly on underlying NGL products.\nThe following table summarizes the impact of the gain (loss) on financial derivative instruments during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. The loss on revaluation of conversion feature of convertible debentures, realized loss on buyout of financial derivative instruments, and unrealized gain offsetting buyout of financial derivative instruments are not included in the table as these items are separately disclosed on the consolidated statement of operations.\nGain (loss) on financial derivative instruments Three months ended September 30, Nine months ended September 30,\nRealized loss on financial derivative instruments\nUnrealized gain (loss) on financial derivative\ninstruments 16,677 (26,641) 24,291 (40,235)\nGain (loss) on financial derivative instruments $ 4,606 $ (31,197) $ (30,824) $ (74,694)\n16.

The transaction was accounted for as a non-monetary transaction and included in property, plant and equipment on the consolidated balance sheet with a corresponding gain included in \"Other income and foreign exchange\" on the consolidated statement of operations.\nIn the third quarter of 2010, Provident received proceeds of $3.3 million from the sale of certain asset-backed commercial paper investments that had previously been written off. Provident recorded a gain on sale in \"Other income and foreign exchange\" on the consolidated statement of operations.\n18. Discontinued Operations (Provident Upstream)\nOn June 29, 2010, Provident completed a strategic transaction in which Provident combined the remaining Provident Upstream business with Midnight Oil Exploration Ltd. (\"Midnight\") to form Pace Oil & Gas Ltd. (\"Pace\") pursuant to a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) (the \"Arrangement\") Under the Arrangement, Midnight acquired all outstanding shares of Provident Energy Resources Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Provident Energy Trust which held all of the producing oil and gas properties and reserves associated with Provident's Upstream business. Total consideration from the transaction was $423.7 million, consisting of $115 million in cash and approximately 32.5 million shares of Pace valued at $308.7 million at the time of the closing. Associated transaction costs were $8.1 million. Under the terms of the Arrangement, Provident unitholders divested a portion of each of their Provident units to receive 0.12225 shares of Pace, which was recorded as a non-cash distribution by the Trust, valued at $308.7 million. Provident recorded a loss on sale of $79.8 million and $58.1 million in future tax recovery related to this transaction. This transaction completed the sale of the Provident Upstream business in a series of transactions between September 2009 to June 2010.\nThe following table presents information on the net loss from discontinued operations.\nNet loss from discontinued operations (000's) 2011 2010 2011 2010\nProduction revenue, net of royalties $ - $ - $ - $ 76,581\nLoss from discontinued operations before taxes - - - (112,702)\nLoss on sale of discontinued operations - (5,000) - (88,548)\nCurrent tax expense - - - (1)\nFuture income tax recovery - - - 69,770\nNet loss from discontinued operations for the period $ - $ (5,000) $ - $ (131,481)\n$ - $ (0.02) $ - $ (0.50)\n(1) For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, interest expense of nil and $2.5 million, respectively, was allocated to discontinued operations on a prorata basis calculated as the proportion of net assets of the Upstream business to the sum of total net assets of the Trust plus long-term debt.\nIFRS requires that assets held for sale be presented separately on the statement of financial position. Previous Canadian GAAP made an exception to this rule for certain upstream oil and gas related transactions. The sale of West Central Alberta assets held in the Upstream business was announced in December 2009. Therefore, assets and associated decommissioning liabilities of $186.4 million and $2.8 million, respectively, related to this transaction have been presented separately on the January 1, 2010 statement of financial position, at their fair value, determined with reference to the negotiated sales price adjusted for earnings between December 31, 2009 and the date of closing on March 1, 2010. This transaction resulted in a loss on sale of $8.1 million in the first quarter of 2010.\nAdditional accounting policies\nAccounting policies solely related to Provident's Upstream business are as follows:\ni) Financial instruments\na) Available for sale\nThe Company's investments are classified as available for sale financial assets. A gain or loss on an available for sale financial asset shall be recognized directly in other comprehensive income, except for impairment losses and foreign exchange gains and losses. When the investment is derecognized or determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously recorded in equity is recognized in profit or loss.\nii) Property, plant & equipment\nOil and natural gas properties are stated at cost, less accumulated depletion and depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Costs incurred subsequent to the determination of technical feasibility and commercial viability and the costs of replacing parts of property, plant and equipment are recognized as oil and natural gas properties only when they increase the future economic benefits embodied in the specific properties to which they relate. All other expenditures are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Such capitalized oil and natural gas properties represent costs incurred in developing proved and probable reserves and bringing in or enhancing production from such reserves and are accumulated on a cost centre basis.\nExpenditures on the construction, installation or completion of infrastructure facilities such as platforms, pipelines and the drilling of development wells, including unsuccessful development or delineation wells, is capitalized within property, plant and equipment.\nThe provision for depletion and depreciation for oil and natural gas assets is calculated, at a component level using the unit-of-production method based on current period production divided by the related share of estimated total proved and probable oil and natural gas reserve volumes, before royalties. Production and reserves of natural gas and associated liquids are converted at the energy equivalent ratio of 6,000 cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil. In determining its depletion base, the Company includes estimated future costs for developing proved and probable reserves, and excludes estimated salvage values of tangible equipment and the cost of exploration and evaluation assets.\niii) Exploration and Evaluation assets\nPre-license costs\nGeneral prospecting and evaluation costs incurred prior to having obtained the legal rights to explore an area are expensed directly to the income statement in the period in which they are incurred.\nExploration and evaluation costs\nOnce the legal right to explore has been acquired, all costs incurred to assess the technical feasibility and commercial viability of resources are capitalized as exploration and evaluation (\"E&E\") intangible assets until the drilling of the well is complete and the results have been evaluated. These costs may include costs of license acquisition, technical services and studies, seismic acquisition, exploration drilling and testing, directly attributable overhead and administration expenses, including remuneration of production personnel and supervisory management, the projected costs of retiring the assets (if any), and any activities in relation to evaluating the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting mineral resources. Such items are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, the Company measures E&E costs using the cost model whereby the asset is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.\nIntangible exploration assets are not depleted and carried forward until the Company has determined the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource. If no reserves are found and management determines that the Company no longer intends to develop or otherwise extract value from the discovery, the costs are written off to profit or loss. Upon determination of proven and probable reserves, E&E assets attributable to those reserves are first tested for impairment at the cash generating unit level, and then reclassified to oil and natural gas properties, a separate category within property, plant and equipment. Once these costs have been transferred to property, plant and equipment, they are subject to impairment testing at the cash generating unit level similar to other oil and natural gas assets within property, plant and equipment.\niv) Joint arrangements\nCertain of the Company's activities in the Upstream business were conducted through interests in jointly controlled assets and operations, where the Company has a direct ownership interest in and jointly control the assets and/or operations of the venture. Accordingly, the income, expenses, assets, and liabilities of these jointly controlled assets and operations are included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company in proportion to the Company's interest.\nv) Decommissioning liabilities\nFor upstream operations, the amount recognized represents management's estimate of the present value of the estimated future expenditures to abandon and reclaim the Company's net ownership in wells and facilities determined in accordance with local conditions and requirements as well as an estimate of the future timing of the costs to be incurred.\nDecommissioning is likely to occur when the fields are no longer economically viable. This in turn depends on future oil and gas prices, which are inherently uncertain.\nvi) Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions\nReserves base\nThe Company's reserves have been evaluated in accordance with the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook Volumes 1 and 2 (\"COGEH\") and comply with the standards that govern all aspects of reserves as prescribed in National Instrument 51-101 (NI 51-101). Under NI 51-101, proved reserves are defined as having a high degree of certainty to be recoverable. Probable reserves are defined as those reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves. The targeted levels of certainty, in aggregate, are at least 90 percent probability that the quantities recovered will equal or exceed the estimated proved reserves and at least 50 percent probability that the quantities recovered will equal or exceed the sum of the estimated proved plus probable reserves. Under NI 51-101 standards, proved plus probable are considered a \"best estimate\" of future recoverable reserves.\nThe estimation of oil and gas reserves is a subjective process. Forecasts are based on engineering data, projected future rates of production, estimated commodity prices, and the timing of future expenditures. The Company expects reserve estimates to be revised based on the results of future drilling activity, testing, production levels, and economics of recovery based on cash flow forecasts. Future development costs are estimated using assumptions as to number of wells required to produce the reserves, the cost of such wells and associated production facilities, and other capital costs.\nCarrying value of oil and gas assets\nOil and gas development and production properties are depreciated on a unit-of-production basis at a rate calculated by reference to proved plus probable reserves and incorporate the estimated future costs of developing and extracting those reserves.\nThe calculation of unit-of production rate of amortization could be impacted to the extent that actual production in the future is different from current forecast production based on proved plus probable reserves. This would generally result from significant changes in any of the factors or assumptions used in estimating reserves and could include:\nChanges in proved plus probable reserves;\nThe effect on proved plus probable reserves of differences between actual commodity prices and commodity price assumptions; or\nUnforeseen operational issues.\nFor the Upstream business, it is reasonably possible that the commodity price assumptions may change which may then impact the estimated life of the field and may then require a material adjustment to the carrying value of its tangible and intangible assets. The Company monitors internal and external indicators of impairment relating to its tangible and intangible assets.\nImpairment of available for sale financial assets\nThe Company classifies certain assets as available for sale and recognizes movements in their fair value in equity. Subsequent to initial recognition, when the fair value declines, management makes assumptions about the decline in value whether it is an impairment that should be recognized in profit or loss.\nSOURCE Provident Energy Ltd.\nOhio vote shows unions still a political force\nRockTenn Reports Results for the Fourth Quarter of Fiscal 2011",

Firms must disclose their long-term obligations on their balance sheet, including the corresponding interest rates and the date of maturity. Long-term debt differs from long term liabilities as the latter covers the supply of various services that may be paid already. Firms with extensive amounts of debt may be overwhelmed by interest rates. Moreover, they will have insufficient amount of working capital for their daily operations. These factors may ultimately result in bankruptcy. Long-term debt typically consists of business loans, mortgages and bonds with maturities over one year.",

        "raw_content": "Overcooked Preview\nBenjamin GuY Tuesday, Jul 19 2016 2:00PM 0\nTeam 17 have, up to now, been best known for making and publishing the Worms franchise of games. However, over the last few years their name has evolved into that of a full-blown publishing house, picking up little games from little publishers and helping them grow to fruition. Overcooked is their latest baby, coming from the two-person team at Ghost Town Games.\nWe\u2019ve had the opportunity to play through the first two main areas of the game, and honestly, we\u2019re impressed!\nThe premise is simultaneously both incredibly simple and incredibly complicated. Up to four players work together to cook meals for your \u201ccustomers\u201d before they decide to go elsewhere (or destroy the world). It\u2019s a simple idea, but the complexity comes from figuring out the perfect strategy in order to successfully create meals within the time limit, as each kitchen only has a certain number of plates, chopping boards, ingredient stations, sinks and cookers.\nThe various orders you need to fulfil appear in the top left corner with a simple-to-understand coloured bar, which slowly shrinks and turns from green to red, showing you how much time you have left. Whilst (at present) each level generally deals with a single kind of food, you find small variations; in a soup level, you have different flavours, and in a burger level you could be asked for varying degrees of salad.\nAs an example of how this could get a little crazy, imagine this; it\u2019s a circular kitchen with very narrow walkways. All of the above are scattered around the room, with tomatoes and onions for the soups next to each other. Because of the narrow corridors, players can\u2019t easily pass each other (without belting them backwards,) so you\u2019re left with a choice; either designate different recipes to different players and impose a one-way system, or pass things along as a conveyor belt. Either way, things will go wrong and soon you\u2019ll all be running around like headless chickens.\nBecause of this you constantly need to stay on the ball, shouting to your partners in increasing tones. There\u2019s a huge element of co-op frustration, but it\u2019s good natured, going so far as to have a designated \u201cswear button\u201d for your character.\nIt\u2019s constantly challenging, containing a good selection of varied kitchens and recipes to play. Occasionally, the game mixes up the formula by adding a new gimmick, keeping the gameplay fresh and unique; such as cooking on two moving trucks, and having to move between the two as they race down the road.\nWhilst there are a few control issues in the preview at the minute (It doesn\u2019t tell you the PC or PS4 controls; only XBOX, and there is no key-rebinding) it does generally play really well, even as a PC co-op game. It also seems really accessible for inexperienced gamers, with my partner picking up the controls and strategies quickly; even if she did call me a few choice names! My only worry is that the ability to play with from 1-4 players may have left it a little unbalanced, as we were consistently getting 2/3 stars as a duo. This does leave me to wonder if it may be too easy as a foursome, or too difficult as a loner.\nThe main campaign mode is where you\u2019ll find the most meat. The King of the Onion Kingdom; finding his kingdom besieged by a giant meatball monster, tasks your small team with going back in time and becoming professional chefs in order to satisfy the beast\u2019s hunger. What ensues is a whistle-stop tour of the kingdom and around 28 levels of increasing difficulty.\nIn terms of presentation, it\u2019s shaping up nicely with a charming, cartoony aesthetic which will appeal to everyone, and a good selection of themes and diverse characters to play as; we particularly liked the Racoon in a wheelchair, as it showed that the developers are thinking about making sure they have a diverse cast to choose from.\nAll in all, it\u2019s shaping up to be an amazing experience, taking ideas from a variety of different sources and refining them into a recipe for success. Overcooked may have been some of the most concentrated gaming fun I\u2019ve had so far this year; It left both myself and Katie gagging for more levels, which realistically is the best outcome you could hope for. Whilst there are some minor problems with the control systems and the odd bug here and there, I can see it being of the co-op highlights of the year!\nWe\u2019ll be bringing you our full review shortly before release on August 3rd.\nFox \u2018n\u2019 Forests Review: Pixel Your Poison\nSwitch Galaxy Ultra Review\nDungeons 3 Preview\nTitanfall Beta Preview\nMantis Burn Racing Review (Inc Nintendo Switch) (F...\nTags Overcooked Preview PC Review PS4 Review Xbox One\nAn enthusiastic performer and musician, after finishing his degree in Drama, Benjamin went on to complete a PGCE and is a qualified primary school teacher, currently working for a variety of agencies on supply.

        "title": "Cognitive behavioural approaches to chronic pain | JC Physiotherapy",
        "raw_content": "By Charles Pither\nChronic pain is notoriously difficult to treat. Although there are no cures, a combination of psychological and physical therapies appears to provide significant benefits.\nDuring their lifetime most of the population will experience an episode of back pain that troubles them sufficiently to affect the way they live and seek some form of medical help. Anybody who has suffered from such a problem, or cared for someone who has, will know just how acutely painful a \u2018bad back\u2019 can be, with no doubting that in the grips of an episode the sufferer can do little save reach for the bottle of tablets and cry for help.\nHow extraordinary, then, that the factors that predict the development of chronic pain following an acute episode do not relate to any \u2018biological\u2019 factors such as findings on physical examination, or change on X ray, but to what are termed \u2018psychosocial variables\u2018, such as mood, stress (as noted by depression scores and anxiety levels) and the social situation in which the pain occurs.\nIt is not just back pain for which this is true: it is now clear that even following routine surgical operations the amount of pain experienced by a person does not simply relate to the operation type or the length of the incision \u2013 other factors such as past experience, age, sex, anxiety, fear and depression all have a bearing. So while we would all pay lip service to the idea that psychological factors are involved in appreciation and perception of pain, they seem to have a much bigger place in the pain experience than we might anticipate. Not surprisingly this has implications for treatment.\nWhen pain persists in spite of medical treatment, as is the case in chronic pain syndromes, the issues become even more complex. To have pain day after day that does not resolve, and that doctors cannot seemingly solve, is a terrible affliction. Indeed, when doctors and scientists have attempted to measure it, it is clear that chronic pain sufferers score as poorly on quality of life scales as people with much more catastrophic illnesses such as chronic lung disease or AIDS.\nThe problem is that matters get worse not solely due to progression of the disease (the pathology in the tissues) but to the vicious circle the people find themselves in. A person who has pain, especially on movement, tends to avoid doing things that provoke their symptoms. They rest but unfortunately this is not a helpful treatment as it leads to secondary stiffness and weakness, causing worsening of the symptom that the individual is trying to avoid.\nInability to function leads to a loss of role and self-esteem with the progressive intrusion of other problems such as financial hardship and strained relationships. Tablets may cause side-effects, pain may prevent sleep, and all these difficulties cause worry and low mood which worsens the situation yet further. Treatments will be attempted through desperation rather than evidence of their effectiveness with a high risk of failure. This leads to further worsening of mood which fuels a sense of desperation.\nPatients in this situation present a particular challenge to medical systems because the mix of physical and psychological difficulties cannot be neatly assimilated into the scientific categorical approach which has been so fruitful in other areas of medicine.\nThe person thus suffering who is sent to a psychiatrist is often sent away with the message that they are not mad and that they need a physical solution to their pain problem. However, when they visit the orthopaedic surgeon the failure to identify a clear-cut lesion leads to a suspicion of some poorly defined psychological difficulty, with a re-referral back to psychological services. An unhappy stalemate develops with the patient caught in the middle. It will be clear from the above that this type of chronic pain presents formidable problems for both the sufferer, and for the doctor or specialist trying to offer treatment.\nEnter cognitive behavioural pain management.\nModern cognitive behavioural approaches to pain have developed from a number of linked models, all with some efficacy on their own but gaining from being delivered in combination. They have clearly been shown to be the most logical treatment for individuals suffering from chronic musculoskeletal pain, where the pain is accompanied by disability and psychological distress.\nIn essence, cognitive behavioural approaches aim to improve the way that an individual manages and copes with their pain, rather than finding a biological solution to the putative pathology. The approach is very much related to problem solving and returning control to the sufferer. Many patients state that the pain rules their lives and cannot see how this can change without a medical cure. However, with appropriate instruction in a range of pacing techniques, cognitive therapy to help identify negative thinking patterns and the development of effective challenges, stretching and exercising to improve physical function, careful planning of tasks and daily activities, and the judicious use of relaxation training, many people find the treatment enables them to take back control of their lives, to do more and feel better.\nCombined approaches\nCognitive behavioural approaches are delivered in a number of settings, with various differing protocols. While the cognitive elements of the programme are usually the province of psychologists, other staff working alongside them, such as physiotherapists, occupational therapists, nurses and doctors, are required to improve their psychological understanding and skills to enable them to contribute to the treatment package.\nFor example, an exercise programme run by a physiotherapist will adopt a cognitive approach by ascertaining the person\u2019s fears and beliefs about the movement or activity they are undertaking. Frequently this will demonstrate that the person\u2019s caution relates to fear of damage. This will be rectified by providing detailed information about the spine and how it functions, alongside a graded approach to movement using the behavioural principles of reward and reinforcement. Such an approach will move the person on both physically and psychologically in a way that coercion alone will never achieve.\nNot surprisingly the outcome varies greatly between individuals, with some subjects finding the ideas life-changing in their relevance and usability, while others struggle to make even small changes. Studies demonstrate that although there is some diminution in effect with time, most patients never return to their previous levels of distress or disability.\nDelivering effective CBT in the group format described above requires considerable skill, an effective team and not a little organization and resources. Because of this it is easy to do badly. Limitations of training, therapist availability and lack of resources are barriers to the penetration of these techniques into the current health system: alas it is often easier to write a prescription or repeat an injection than engage the person in a comprehensive programme of CBT.\nCognitive approaches have relevance for many other areas of pain management, and indeed other aspects of medicine in situations where people\u2019s behaviour is affected more by what they think and believe than by the extent of pathology.\nNumerous studies attest to their efficacy, but many questions remain about the essential processes involved, and the most rational and effective modes of delivery. Research continues to throw light on this fascinating area of medicine. In any event it is likely that the CBT approach to pain with its humanistic emphasis, practical utility and demonstrable efficacy, is here to stay.\nSource: http://www.wellcome.ac.uk/en/pain/microsite/medicine3.html",

To get approved by a private lender in Oshawa a person needs to have a fair amount of equity in their home or a big down payment (if purchasing). Private lenders who lend in Oshawa will usually provide short-term mortgage financing for 1 or 2 years until the person can be approved by a bank, etc. Most private lenders will borrow up to 75% of the value of the property being used as security if the property is located within a major city(private mortgages will usually not exceed 75% of the value of the property unless the property is located in a city with a population of over 450,000). Private mortgage lenders normally prefer to provide financing for properties which are located within city limits however some private lenders will borrow in small towns or rural areas as well. The lender may only borrow between 50 to 65% of the value of the property when financing outside of the city especially in very rural areas.",

It was dark and stuffy inside. His wife had closed all the windows and shutters and draped the new furniture with white sheets. It was strange to be alone in this empty house, moving from room to room without the usual sounds of his family. He could not stop thinking about what this house meant to him. It represented years of very hard work. It was the first house he had established. Until he had married he had lived at the Continental Hotel, which was owned by his uncle, my mother\u2019s father. But after twelve years as a successful lawyer in Jaffa he had been able to establish himself, marry, and furnish this attractive home, where he would finally live a happy settled life with his young wife and two-year-old daughter. Images came to him of his wife in her pink satin dressing gown, moving elegantly from room to room, peering at him with her Greta Garbo look.\nHad he come to bid all this farewell?

As one of the most iconic and recognized viewsheds in Jackson, land in Spring Gulch has been at the top of the Jackson Hole Land Trust\u2019s conservation priority list since 2001. In May 2015, the Land Trust successfully completed the Spring Gulch Meadows Project, working closely with landowners Brad Mead, Muffy Mead-Ferro, Governor Matt Mead, and Pete Hansen to conserve 379 acres of ranch lands first settled by their family in 1918. The high priority project safeguards the incredible scenic views of Spring Gulch and beyond from Highway 22 and Spring Gulch Road, the ranching heritage of the land, which produces local grass-fed Mead Ranch Natural Beef, and the important wildlife habitat and migration corridors it provides for elk, mule deer, and moose. It complements the 211 acres at the southern end of Spring Gulch previously protected by the Land Trust and Mead and Hansen families in the early 2000s through the Campaign for Our Valley. The Spring Gulch Meadows Project was made possible through the generosity of private contributions to the Jackson Hole Land Trust\u2019s Forever Our Valley capital campaign and a loan from the Bank of Jackson Hole.\nMunger Mountain Three Creek Ranch",

        "raw_content": "I once used to believe that believers go to heaven and that unbelievers go to hell. It was therefore important that unbelievers become believers so as to avoid an eternity in hell. I have abandoned this belief already a long time ago. For one, how is it possible that people arrogate themselves the right to assign other people to their eternal fate, even when it is based on an external checklist allegedly revealed by a sovereign God in heaven? People are never more odious than when they believe to be the gatekeepers of heaven. It is as if by their very act of gatekeeping they become altogether worthy of hell.Another reason I don\u2019t believe this anymore is that I\u2019ve come to realize that people, once they become believers, are every bit as evil as nonbelievers and, in a way, more so, because as believers they proclaim the loudest the way unto salvation while not going it themselves. Some will say that it is grace that makes the difference. Believers are simply saved by grace, they say, not because of any merit on their part. Well, if that is true, there is absolutely no reason why this grace should not be extended to nonbelievers. Isn\u2019t that the whole point of grace: to save those unworthy of salvation?\nFor some people, this whole believer/nonbeliever controversy has evolved into the question about believing whether God exists. Believing that God exists is then a form of faith that will enable you to believe that God saves you through Christ. Believing that God exists is not salvation itself but at least it brings you closer to it. It\u2019s a kind of prerequisite belief.\nAnd so efforts have been underway\u2014and increasingly so as our Western societies have become more secular\u2014to argue or even prove that God exists. This whole discourse is fraught with problems. From a believer\u2019s point of view it could easily be argued, for instance, that every successful argument for God\u2019s existence can only lead to unbelief. This is so because whatever can be proven to exist is conceptually graspable by the human mind and thus, in a way, subject to human imagination. Such a proven God is of course merely a figment of human imagination and thus not God. If God is real, God most certainly does not exist. After all, only things in the world exist and God, if God is real, is not part of the world.\nBut that is not where I want to take the argument. Most people in the West today have come to realize that there are good and bad people. This goodness is not an unqualified \u201cgood\u201d but rather a \u201cgood\u201d in the sense of people generally genuinely wanting the good for self and others in spite of the unavoidable human failure that characterizes all of us.\nInterestingly, what divides good and bad people is not religion or the state of being a believer. If there is one thing we have come to realize it is that the Christian religion, after having been in power for 1200 years, has miserably failed to produce a truly Christian way of life. As a political institution it has yearned for power and wielded it with great expertise. The Church has persecuted those who thought differently, and has with it perfected the art of pharisaical hypocrisy.\nMost people today indwell an ethics that philosophers and theologians have been working out over the past 200 years in which the vertical dimension of faith has been reinterpreted horizontally. If your relationship with God means anything, you need to show it in your actions. If you have faith, it will become manifested in your love. We live in a post-metaphysical era now where we are not interested in whether God in heaven exists but whether we are able to encounter manifestations of divine love in others (and perhaps exhibit them ourselves).\nThe question of whether God exists is mute. It is philosophically moot because it can\u2019t be answered. And anyone who answers positively or negatively usually assumes a dogmatic position of epistemological certainty that is not available for human beings. Period. The question is ethically moot, because belief in God\u2019s existence does not make for better people. And anyone who genuinely loves another person is not proving God\u2019s existence, but merely expression divine love.\nSo I\u2019d rather have a atheist activist in the Black Lives Matter movement struggling against racial inequality than a church going suburban whose ardent faith leads to financial contributions toward the beautification of the church building.\nI\u2019d rather have a communist who is indignant about the capitalist exploitation of the poor and the destruction of the environment than a believer who\u2019s faith has nothing to say against the systemic structures of injustice and who rather protects his investments by supporting the status quo.\nI\u2019d rather have an atheist social worker who is involved in helping out LGBT individuals from a particular immigrant community than Christian citizens who keep themselves pure from the world.\nOf course, reality is not that black and white just like you can\u2019t divide the world up in believers and unbelievers. That\u2019s my whole point. Similarly, the question of whether God exists is not the point. Rather, we should look to manifest that very grace of God on which we are all dependent for any good work.\nOf course, when I see my atheist friend exhibiting compassion and self-giving love, I call this the manifestation of Christ. This is not co-opting my friend\u2019s atheism for my Christian faith, but rather naming what must be named: God may or may not exist but becomes visible everywhere all the time in people of all walks of life, in spite of the fact we live in a rotten world.\nThis is grace. And grace is what it\u2019s all about!\nCategories: Columns, Cultural Commentary, English, Godspeak and tagged in: Atheism, Does God exist?, existence of God, postmetaphysics\nPrevious Post Previous post: Beloningscultuur bij de ING: godsdienst van de zelfverrijking\nNext Post Next post: Christ as the Absence of God\nWhen you write, \u201cThe question of whether god exists is mute,\u201d I could only wish that were it so \u2013 think of all the noxious, wasteful, noise from believers that the world would not have been subject to.\nOf course the word you are looking for is \u201cmoot.\u201d\nThank you.

Despite these big names, this film has received rather mediocre reviews across the board (6.5 on IMDb and 50 on MetaCritic). If you want a more positive opinion on this stoner-action-comedy, check out our review.\nOver in America, cinema-goers have had the privilege of seeing \u2018Dope\u2019 for more than two months now, and it\u2019s finally the turn of the UK to witness this indie film success story. A strong young cast, entertaining narrative and delightful soundtrack have seen this film garner praise from pretty much everyone, including us. Read our review here.\nAnother rousing success which came out of nowhere this summer, will finally hit the big screens across the UK. From a director better known for his horror works, comedy-drama \u2018Me & Earl & The Dying Girl\u2019 was hugely popular around the film festival circuits this year, and should be the pick of the weekend\u2019s cinema releases.\nMonday 21:00 GMT: Jason Bourne crashes into your living room to get your week off to an explosive start. Tune into ITV2 on Monday night to see \u2018The Bourne Identity\u2019, the first installment of this fantastic trilogy. Once you\u2019ve experienced this adrenaline-pumping thrill ride, you\u2019ll be straight down the DVD store the next day to pick up the rest.\nThursday 21:00 GMT: Ian McEwan\u2019s novel \u2018Atonement\u2019 is probably his most famous work, and much of that success is owed to this film adaptation. On More4, this is an emotional wartime drama starring two of Britain\u2019s finest in James McAvoy and Keira Knightley. It also stars someone I know personally as an extra, so I have to suggest this one really \u2013 look out for the man on the bandstand reading the words out of a hat in the beach scene.\nFriday 23:05 GMT: Film4 is showing the classic psychological thriller \u2018The Sixth Sense\u2019. If you\u2019ve seen it before, then it\u2019s still more than worth a watch. If you are yet to see this film however, then get ready for one hell of a ride.\nSunday 18:40 GMT: This week\u2019s family film is out of this world, quite literally. \u2018ET: The Extra Terrestrial\u2019 is as iconic as they come, so sit back and see the weekend away in style with the family classic on ITV2.\nSunday 21:00 GMT: If you fancy something somewhat darker to see yourself into next week, then make sure you switch on Film4 this Sunday night. As far as we\u2019re concerned here at JumpCut UK, \u2018Shutter Island\u2019 is the epitome of everything that\u2019s right with cinema; Di Caprio, under the direction of Scorsese is surely enough to get your attention. This dark psychological thriller will have you questioning everything you deem to be real, even your own existence. You\u2019ve been warned.\nThe Prestige: The list of reasons we could use to get you watching this film is endless, but we\u2019re sure the mention of \u2018Star Wars\u2019 will get your attention. Last week, the guys at \u2018The Force Awakens\u2019 HQ released a short teaser clip to Instagram, which featured the voice of Andy Serkis as Supreme Leader Snoke. Serkis may be better known for his contributions to motion-capture acting, but he is just as adept when it comes to traditional acting. Look out for him in a supporting role in this magical film.\nWhiplash: On Tuesday, JK Simmons will turn 60. The writers at JumpCut UK absolutely love \u2018Whiplash\u2019 and that is in no small part down to JK Simmons and his role as the ferociously ruthless music instructor Terrence Fletcher, a performance which nabbed the Oscar for Actor in a Supporting Role at the 2015 Academy awards. Get ready to tap your feet and cover your eyes as you enjoy the ensemble of Jazz music and terrifying abuse. You can read our review of \u2018Whiplash\u2019 here.\nDead Man\u2019s Shoes: One film that you may not have heard of, but you need to add to your DVD collection as soon as possible, is \u2018Dead Man\u2019s Shoes\u2019. This is a gritty, British film from the messiah of the realist film industry, Shane Meadows. This grizzly tale of revenge may not be light viewing, but it\u2019s a brilliant and enthralling film which we guarantee you will want to watch again. Paddy Considine is absolutely fantastic in this film, but if you\u2019ve seen him in cult comedy \u2018Hot Fuzz\u2019, then be prepared to see him in a whole new light.\nTraining Day: Here\u2019s one just for the hell of it. This 2001 crime-thriller is an action-packed, devastating film full of guns, drugs and violence, and we wouldn\u2019t have it any other way. In another Oscar-winning performance, Denzel Washington stars as a rogue detective, opposite Ethan Hawke, and is just as ruthless and fearsome as JK Simmons\u2019 \u2018Whiplash\u2019 character. If you haven\u2019t seen \u2018Training Day\u2019 before, then you had better get with the program, quick!\nTagged as: American Ultra, Andy Serkis, Atonement, Dead Man's Shoes, Denzel Washington, Dope, ET, Ethan Hawke, James Mcavoy, Jesse Eisenberg, JK Simmons, Kiera Knightley, Kristen Stewart, Leonardo Di Caprio, Martin Scorsese, Me And Earl And The Dying Girl, Paddy Considine, Shane Meadows, Shutter Island, The Bourne Identity, The Force Awakens, The Prestige, The Sixth Sense, Training Day, Whiplash\nGeorge Miller To Helm Man Of Steel 2",

        "raw_content": "The last few years have seen articles and discussions related to tax efficiency somewhat fade into the background. While this might be understandable and may, in fact, have not had serious or adverse consequences, now might be the right time to revisit this issue.\nTraditionally, tax efficiency has been defined as avoiding unnecessary taxes and deferring those that are unavoidable. Avoiding unnecessary taxes requires sophisticated planning, particularly in terms of estate and philanthropy, or involves recognizing the difference between long- and short-term capital realizations or between implicit and explicit taxes (think of the implicit tax rate built into the yield of a tax-exempt bond, for instance). Deferring taxes that are unavoidable involves eschewing activities that lead to taxable income being recognized for as long as possible. That this effectively involves selling \u201closers\u201d and holding on to \u201cgainers\u201d is the \u201ccost\u201d one pays, in that the ratio of portfolio market value to its tax basis keeps rising, exposing the portfolio to a sort of a \u201cfreeze\u201d that occurs when the portfolio has become unmanageable without serious tax consequences. This is where knowing how to use realized losses to offset gains, be they related to income or capital issues, becomes so valuable. Indeed, an unrealized capital loss can be viewed, for instance, as a free option to take an unrealized capital gain of the same magnitude without having to pay taxes. There are many other important elements to the science and the art of being tax aware, but our point here is not to revisit these, but rather to discuss why tax awareness may seem to have receded into the background and why it might have to be brought back into focus.\nThe main reason mentioned by most observers as to why tax awareness may not have seemed a top priority in the last few years simply is that many investors suffered losses in the 2008 financial crisis. They have had plenty of opportunities, therefore, to offset any gain registered in the rebound with these carry-forward losses. Yet, lower aggregate return levels may have, in fact, played an equally important role.\nBefore expanding on this latter thought, however, it may be necessary to return to tax-awareness insights for a short while. A fundamental insight into tax awareness is that tax inefficiency often arises from the fact that taxes are paid on both beta (market returns) and alpha (managers\u2019 value added). Thus, the long-held rationale has been that some form of passivity\u2014at least passivity with respect to security selection alpha\u2014is desirable, as portfolio activity quickly depresses tax efficiency. Yet, digging a bit deeper into this essential insight, which was in the seminal work by Arnott and Jeffrey (The Journal of Portfolio Management, 1993), one comes to the conclusion that the source of inefficiency relates directly to the fact that taxes are paid on both alpha and beta. Thus, with high enough levels of market return and tax rates, it follows that alpha would have to be disproportionately high to be able to absorb both its own taxes and those on the return of the underlying market. For instance, imagine a 10% market return, a 2% manager alpha, both pretax, and a 30% tax rate. Selling a position that has registered the full 12% return requires the payment of 3.6% in taxes, of which 3% relates to the market return and 0.6% to the security selection value added; the tax on the market return alone is higher than the alpha! It should, therefore, not be a surprise that one would typically suggest that a better strategy is a \u201cmarket buy and hold\u201d that allows one to record the full 10% return and thus defer the tax on that market return. In this mindset, security selection is viewed as unable to produce after-tax value added. Even those strategies that involve systematic capital loss realization appear as unnecessarily complex and costly relative to the obvious alternatives.\nEnter a period of lower returns and the need for tax-awareness may appear to be weaker. Indeed, the foregoing analysis changes, arguably quite materially, if one assumes considerably lower market returns. For example, assume an equity market return of zero! Trading into or out of individual stocks for security selection purposes is no longer penalized by having to offset taxes on market-related capital gains against security selection alpha. Ostensibly, one is still paying taxes on that alpha, but with tax rates by definition below 100%, some after-tax alpha remains. Pure tax efficiency would argue that even these taxes are unnecessary, as deferring taxes is like receiving an interest-free loan from the government. Yet, if one has to choose between returns of zero or something, even if some tax has been paid, it is hard to refute the suggestion that something must be better than nothing.\nThis may be the tax-aware equivalent of Adam Smith\u2019s invisible hand argument: Taxable investors may have been correct in ignoring taxes for the last few years, not only because they had losses that could offset gains, but because tax efficiency might not have been so urgently needed.\nLooking ahead, however, the situation may change. Although quite a few observers suggest that investors should expect relatively low returns for a while, many are also suggesting that this might be a transition period, following which, inflation might be somewhat rekindled and nominal returns might eventually rise. These forecasts are based on a variety of views, ranging from the very loose monetary policies followed by all developed central banks and a few in the developing world to a feeling that inflation might reduce the otherwise unsustainable government debt burdens of many countries without triggering a long, drawn-out recession or worse.\nThe potential for inflation to pick up over some time horizon, combined with historically low interest rates might create both the need for and the means to apply tax-aware principles. Indeed, inflation would at some point pad upwards the returns from assets that provide some measure of inflation hedging. Rising prices for these would create unrealized capital gains, which might need to be offset, all the more so as a fair part of these gains would not be real\u2014they would not correspond to rising purchasing power, rather they would simply reflect the increase in price levels. Being able to handle these assets, among which equities might at some point count, in a tax-aware manner would certainly be important.\nSimultaneously, an increase in inflation would be bound to be reflected in rising interest rates, at both the short and the long end of the yield curve. Rising bond rates would have to result in falling bond prices; this would generate some capital losses that could be used to offset a few of the gains registered in other areas of capital market.\nIn short, it may be a good idea to brush up on tax-aware principles as they may become useful sooner than many people expect.\nThe Summer 2012 issue of The Journal of Wealth Management starts with three broad articles. The first article, by Paul Hokemeyer, is unusual in the sense that it looks at the issues faced by many wealthy families from a therapeutic standpoint, arguing that wealthy patients and their families often struggle to find culturally competent and sensitive psychotherapeutic treatment. Therapists bring their own issues around money into the psychotherapeutic relationship, considering the most common issues that impact therapists\u2019 ability to work with people of wealth and providing practical tools to assist them in working through these issues.\nThe second article, by William Reichenstein and William Meyer, looks at the implications of the currently lower return environment. Reichenstein and Meyer point to the impact of lower returns by arguing that the present value of Social Security benefits are about the same if you assume a 3% real rate and life expectancy of 84; however, changing the real return assumption to 0%, for the present value of the benefits to be the same, a single individual would need to live to 80! The third article in this section, by Tom Arnold and Bonnie Buchanan, employs techniques from real options analysis to determine an actual value that can be gained or lost due to government policy.\nThe next five articles focus on separate aspects of the investment scene or the investment process. The first of these, by Robert Mileff, Nathan Sonnenberg, and Scott Welch, focuses on alternative investments. Mileff, Sonnenberg, and Welch review some history, revisit the argument for including alternatives within diversified portfolios, and discuss how alternatives dictate a different conversation with investors about their purpose, acceptable and unacceptable trade-offs, and appropriate ways to incorporate alternatives in well-diversified portfolios. The next article is by Lee Dunham and Geoffrey Friesen, who revisit a classical concept, presenting a simple, intuitive investment strategy that improves upon the popular dollar-cost-averaging (DCA) approach that retains most of the attributes of traditional DCA that are appealing to most investors yet adjusts to new information, which traditional DCA does not. In their article, Peng Wang and Larry Kochard propose a new variant on tactical asset allocation, creating a combined model using a Z-score approach that takes advantage of both short-term momentum effects and long-term mean-reversion in valuation to achieve superior overall portfolio performance. Next, Brian Boscaljon focuses on individual portfolio insurance premia and offers a model that is based on individuals\u2019 unique preferences with respect to consumption and leisure time. Finally, Thomas Kilgallen proposes a study to test the risk-adjusted returns from a commonly used technical trading strategy, showing that applying this strategy has provided before-tax returns comparable to or better than a buy-and-hold strategy, but with much less downside volatility.\nOur final three articles cover a very wide spectrum of issues. The first, by Olivier Mesly and Fran\u00e7ois-\u00c9ric Racicot, discusses a new framework for analyzing past financial crises by building on the concept of predatory marketing and proposes possible solutions to limit financial fraud. Next, Daniel Konku, Vivek Bhargava, and D.K. Malhotra examine short-and long-run performance of one special class of penny stocks: initial public offerings (IPOs) filed for and issued as penny stocks, as defined by the amended SEC Act of 1990. They conclude that penny stocks show high performance in the first year of issue but the returns decline sharply after a 13-month period. Finally, Greg Gregoriou offers a review of a book by Colin Read in the Great Minds in Finance Series, which encapsulates the work of a series of great minds in finance and establishes the history rarely addressed and discussed in finance.",

You can\u2019t intimidate people into thinking the way you do.\u201d\nDespite Carney\u2019s talk of nonviolence, he has a lengthy criminal record that includes a 2004 conviction for ethnic intimidation and simple assault in Lackawanna County, for which he was sentenced to one to three years in prison.\nAmong Carney\u2019s many cases that have moved through the court system is the May 2007 Philadelphia beating of a man who himself was a KSS affiliate, the 2003 assault of a black man in Scranton and the posting of white-supremacy stickers on Philadelphia war memorials.\nDespite hasty actions in his past, today Carney is a man of carefully chosen words. In conversation, he never invokes racial epithets, and even goes so far as to call the tactics of other white-supremacy organizations, like the Ku Klux Klan, \u201cgoofy.\u201d\nBut his mild language masks a disturbing belief among KSS members that all of America\u2019s woes are a result of \u201cthe failed multicultural experiment we live in.\u201d\n\u201cThe socialist agenda, unrestricted capitalism and Zionist policies in the Middle East have increased crime and poverty,\u201d Carney said. \u201cThe accomplishments of our ancestors [white people] are being minimized by Marxist/socialist groups, the biased media and schools.\u201d\nCarney, who joined the KSS shortly after it was founded in 2001 , said that he came to his beliefs not through his parents but through his experience as a white man in Philadelphia.\n\u201cPeople get this back-woods, ignorant stereotype, but that\u2019s not who we are,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m from Philly and I\u2019ve dealt with this [multiculturalism] firsthand. I see the effect it has on both sides of the fence and it\u2019s not good.\u201d\nWhile Carney didn\u2019t say what firsthand experiences led him to the KSS, he repeatedly espoused the idea that the KSS is just \u201cspeaking about what people are afraid to talk about outside of their own homes.\u201d\nCarney said that he believes that people naturally \u201csegregate\u201d themselves into groups, and that while certain subsectors of the white population have a right to socialize, such as the Irish or Italians, they cannot organize as \u201cEuropean-Americans\u201d as a whole.\n\u201cIt\u2019s racist to acknowledge there even is a white community,\u201d he said. \u201cThere\u2019s nothing wrong with a black community, a Hispanic community or Chinatown.\n\u201cWe just want fair and equal treatment.\u201d\nSo, in an ironic twist, this white- supremacy group that discriminates against others believes that in some cases, it and its members are themselves victims of discrimination.\n\u201cWe don\u2019t want to take the victim\u2019s stance, but we are put under a microscope compared to other groups,\u201d Carney said. \u201cBlack groups can scream obscenities on Market Street, but we can\u2019t gather peacefully?\n\u201cIt\u2019s perfectly acceptable to bash white people,\u201d he said. \u201cThe race card has gone pretty far, and white people need to stand up and say that they\u2019re not going to accept these things.\u201d\nCarney, who believes that a \u201crace war\u201d has been going on in this country for decades, doesn\u2019t see it ending anytime soon.\n\u201cWe\u2019re definitely not going away,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd, obviously, with the atmosphere in the country, we\u2019re not going to slow down.\u201d*\nSOURCE: http://www.philly.com/dailynews/local/20081029_Unblurred_face_of__new__skinheads.html\n\u201cKinder\u201d. \u201cGentler\u201d?\nAnd racist filth is still racist filth, no matter how you WS self-haters try to dress it up.\nLisa Poole: AP\nLittle, a Chihuahua, owned by Liz Newton, of Salem, Mass., waits during the second annual \u201chowl-oween,\u201d a dog costume contest, at Faneuil Hall in Boston.

On Saturday, November 29, 2008 at the Baptist General Convention of Virginia, the Richmond Kwanzaa Kollective will sponsor a screening of the first feature film on Kwanzaa, the Black Candle. Narrated by world renowned poet Maya Angelou, the Black Candle has received enthusiastic response from thousands of viewers around the world.\nAward-winning author, filmmaker and college professor M.K. Asante, Jr., who the Philadelphia Inquirer calls \u201ca rare and remarkable talent\u201d, will be on hand to discuss the Black Candle, which was filmed across the United States, Africa, Europe and the Caribbean. The feature film is a timely illumination on why the seven principles of Kwanzaa (unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity and faith) are so important to African-Americans today. More than 40 million African-American and Pan-African people participate in Kwanzaa as a reflection and celebration of the past, present and future.\nThe Black Candle screening is a fundraiser for the Fourth Annual Kwanzaa Karamu (festivity and call for greater unity). Refreshments will be served for the screening meet and greet at 4:00PM, and the Black Candle will be shown promptly at 4:30PM. General admission is $7. The cost for students, elders over 55 and children (6-13 years old) is $5. Children 5 and under are free. Tickets may be purchased in advance from the East District Family Resource Center located at 2405 Jefferson Ave in Churchill, Mr. G\u2019s Body & Soul at 2nd & Marshall Streets (323 N. 2nd Street) downtown, and at the door. The Baptist General Convention of Virginia is located at 1214 West Graham Road, Richmond, VA 23220 (next to Virginia Union University).\nThe Black Candle is a production of Asante Filmworx, an award-winning film production company that co-produced the internationally-acclaimed documentary 500 Years Later, winner of five international awards including the Breaking the Chains award from UNESCO.

With a black man running for the highest office of the land, the forces of racist hate have been coming out like pus from a ruptured running sore. Because of their history of compiling documentation and reports on hate groups across America, the SPLC is the vanguard of fighting against neo-Nazi, skinhead, WS groups.\nHere is an excerpt of a report from the SPLC website on one of the accused skinheads who is involved in the racist group Supreme White Alliance (SWA), a newly-formed group headed by Steven Edwards:\n\u201cALLEDGED PLOTTER AGAINST OBAMA WAS MEMBER OF WHITE SUPREME WHITE ALLIANCE\u201d\nby Mark Potok on October 28, 2008\nDaniel Cowart, one of the two men arrested Friday in an alleged plot to assassinate Barack Obama and murder more than 100 people, was a member of a racist skinhead group formed earlier this year. The group, the Supreme White Alliance (SWA), posted a note after the arrests saying that a \u201cprobate\u201d member \u2015 clearly Cowart, although the site didn\u2019t mention his name \u2015 had been booted out some time ago.\nCowart, in fact, is described as \u201cmember #3\u201d of the SWA on the group\u2019s Ning site (Ning is a social networking site), meaning he was the third to sign up for an account on that site. In \u201cDaniel Cowart\u2019s Supreme White Alliance page,\u201d Cowart describes himself as \u201ceasy going and easy to get along with, as long as you are White!\u201d In addition, a photo obtained by the Southern Poverty Law Center shows Cowart at a birthday party held for Adolf Hitler last April along with others linked to the SWA. The group is displaying a birthday cake marked with its SWA acronym.\nIt\u2019s not clear if Cowart\u2019s alleged partner, Paul Schlesselman, was a member or associate of the group. The SWA posting suggests that he is not.\nThe two men were arrested after federal agents uncovered what they described as a plot to go on a multi-state \u201ckilling spree.\u201d In an affidavit, the ATF said that the two, both of whom it described as holding \u201cstrong\u201d white supremacist beliefs, had met via the Internet in late September. They later got together and allegedly decided to kill 88 people, followed by beheading another 14 African Americans. (The numbers are neo-Nazi codes representing white supremacist slogans.) Officials said they also intended to target a predominantly black high school, a gun store, and individuals who they planned to rob to raise money.\nThe final act, according to the affidavit, was to come when both men dressed in white tuxedoes and top hats and attempted to shoot Obama as they drove toward him while shooting through the windows, agents said. Both men fully expected to die in their final attack.\nThe SWA Ning site also carries a page showing \u201cDaniel\u2019s Friends,\u201d belonging to Daniel Cowart, that lists as a friend Steven Edwards (posting as \u201cStevenfuckit08\u2033), the current president of SWA. Edwards is the son of Ron Edwards, who is the imperial wizard, or national leader, of the Imperial Klans of America (IKA), based in Kentucky. The Southern Poverty Law Center is currently involved in civil litigation with Ron Edwards and the IKA over the beating of a teenage boy in 2006. The case is scheduled for trial on Nov. 12.\nSOURCE: http://www.splcenter.org/blog/2008/10/28/alleged-plotter-against-obama-was-member-of-supreme-white-alliance/?splcnewsletter=newsgen-102908\nEdwards was also profiled in ABC\u2019s Nightline last night:\n\u201cHATE GROUPS RILED UP OVER PROSPECT OF PRESIDENT OBAMA\u201d\nby Brian Ross, Avni Patel, Vic Walter, Anna Schecter and Megan Chuchmach\nThe prospect of a Black president has America\u2019s bastions of hate in an uproar. Leaders, including the wizard of the Imperial Klans of America, Ron Edwards, have long warned the white race is under attack and must be defended. Federal authorities say web sites have featured ugly calls to target Senator Barack Obama.\nAnd twice now since August, two sets of self-proclaimed neo-Nazi skinheads have been caught in what officials say were feeble but still troubling plots to assassinate Obama.\n\u201cIf Obama is elected president, these people see the world as they know it to end,\u201d said Morris Dees, co-founder of the Southern Poverty Law Center.\nIn the most recent case, federal agents say two men, Daniel Cowart and Paul Schlesselman, planned to go on a killing spree against more than a hundred African Americans and then, they told the Secret Service, go out in a blaze of glory, dressed in white tuxedos and top hats during the assassination attempt. Cowart is described as the leader.\nNeo-Nazi Obama Plot One of \u201cA Handful\u201d of \u201cSerious\u201d Threats Against Obama\nFeds Thwart Alleged Skinhead Obama Plot\nGun, Drug Charges for Obama Plot Suspects\n\u201cHis views are strongly Neo-Nazi,\u201d said Dees, \u201cwhich explains why he wants to kill black people and why he\u2019s ultimately interested in the assassination of Sen. Obama.\u201d\nCowart and Schlesselman told the Secret Service they met using the website of a new hate group, the Supreme White Alliance, a next generation of neo-Nazis and racist skin heads.\n\u201cWe\u2019re being discriminated against just because we believe in our white rights,\u201d said Steven Edwards of Muhlenberg County, Kentucky, who is considered the leader of the Supreme White Alliance.\nLike his father, the Klan wizard before him, Edwards represents yet another generation of Americans who find comfort in hate. It is a fringe group, but one that will be even more closely watched if the country elects as President a mixed-race Black man who represents all they fear.\nIn an contentious interview with ABC News Chief Investigative Correspondent Brian Ross on Nightline Tuesday, Edwards said that the assassination plot alarmed him and he sought to portray his group as a social club, with no ties to two men under arrest.\n(Click here to watch the Nightline report: http://abcnews.go.com/video/playerIndex?id=6133877 )\nA generation of Neo-Nazis and racist skinheads may be on the fringe, but will be even more closely watched if the country elects Barack Obama as Preisdent, who represents all they fear.\nSocial Club or White Power Group?\n\u201cWe are a club, so we get together, socialize, more of a social type thing for people of the same views,\u201d said Edwards. \u201cDo we hate? No we don\u2019t hate. We hate certain people and things that go on in the world.\u201d\nBut Edwards sings a different tune, one of extreme hate, when he is with his followers. He is a kind of rock star on the hate circuit for his song \u201cNo Mercy\u201d, performed at what are called Nordic fests, a Woodstock for the Neo-Nazi, skinhead set.\n\u201cWhat about the Jews? No mercy!,\u201d Edwards is seen singing in a video from a concert three years ago. \u201cWhat about the spics No Mercy? What about the N*****s? No Mercy! What about the Faggots? No mercy? What about the Traitors? No mercy!\u201d\nBut when asked about the song by ABC News, Edwards replied, \u201cI didn\u2019t write that song.\u201d\n\u201cPeople, like us, we like to joke, that\u2019s pretty much a joke,\u201d Edwards said shortly before trying to stop the interview. Edwards stormed off at least four times during the ABC News interview after becoming upset over questions about his club\u2019s racist views.\nWATCH: 3 Men Confess to Assassination Plan\nThe Paranoia and Psychosis of Meth\nSecret Service Looking Into Obama Threat at Rally\n\u201cThey have what they call a public front, to tell you that hey, we\u2019re not violent, we don\u2019t promote violence, we\u2019re just interested in getting our views across, representing white people\u2019s interest and free speech,\u201d said Dees. \u201cBut they have a private side represented by the Dan Cowart and his associate, this individual in this case, these groups would certainly never never admit.\u201d\nEdwards says the man arrested in the Obama death plot, Daniel Cowart, was never a full member of the Supreme White Alliance, the SWA. But Cowart is seen pictured at a SWA party this April to honor the birthday of Adolph Hitler.\nEdwards say Obama, for his race, is a smart man, and that he is opposed to any effort to kill him, but he again tried to stop the interview when asked if he would call the police if a member of his group expressed any desire to harm Obama.\nWhile most white supremacist groups have drawn the line at mentioning violence against Obama, a recent example shows that some long-kept quite feelings of hate groups are beginning to emerge, according to equality advocates.\nHate Beginning to Emerge?\nWhile most white power groups have drawn the line at mentioning violence against Obama, a recent example shows that some long-kept quiet feelings of hate groups are beginning to emerge, according to equality advocates.\n\u201cMost white supremacist groups are trying to figure out how they can make hay out of an Obama presidency,\u201d said Southern Poverty Law Center director Mark Potok, who is in charge of the center\u2019s Intelligence Project.\nA prime example, said Potok, is Bill White, the self-described neo-Nazi and leader of the American National Socialist Workers Party who was indicted last week for allegedly soliciting injury to a member of a jury that convicted a white supremacist four years ago for soliciting the murder of a federal judge in Chicago. The case revolves around White\u2019s alleged posting of the juror\u2019s home address and phone numbers to a website that officials have since taken down.\nWATCH: Possible Obama Attack Plot Foiled\nMan Charged After Gun Found in Car Near Obama Home\nPopularity Poses Obama Security Challenge\nBut there is an item marked as an exhibit inside the criminal complaint which stands out: a full-color magazine cover showing an image of Democratic Presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama waving to a crowd, targeted by a swastika and a rifle\u2019s crosshairs. Bold words read, \u201cKill This N*****?\u201d\nThe complaint says the cover was posted on White\u2019s website on Sept. 9, 2008, along with a comment which sought $10,000 to print 20,000 copies of it before the upcoming election.\nThe Illinois office of the U.S. Attorney would not comment about the magazine cover or its relevancy to the current charge against White.\nAs the historic race to the White House nears to an end, Deborah Lauter, civil rights director of the Anti-Defamation League, said tension is mounting and \u201ceveryone is on high alert.\u201d\nShe said yesterday\u2019s arrest of the two Tennessee men is of great concern.\n\u201cWhat it showed us is that white extremists who have a propensity to act out during a presidential campaign in fact were prepared to do that,\u201d said Lauter, adding that the incident showed that \u201cour fears unfortunately can be realized.\u201d\nThe SWA said that while one of the men was affiliated with the SWA earlier this year, he has since been ousted, and the alliance has not been in contact with either Cowart or Schlesselman.\nWhite isn\u2019t making any statements at this time, but his attorney, Bill Cleaveland, said \u201che is preparing to defend himself on the charge.\u201d\nWhite told the New York Times last month that he was planning to use an $8,000 donation from a Michigan supporter to print and distribute 20,000 copies of the magazine cover on the latest issue of The Nationalist Socialist to white working-class neighborhoods. The Times article said White \u201csaid the cover was satirical and pointed to a subheading that read, \u201cNegro Deification and the \u2018Obama Assassination\u2019 Myth\u201d.\u201d\nHe gained notoriety for his extreme comments and internet postings, including one in which he essentially encouraged the lynching of the Jena 6, according to the FBI. This recent criminal complaint in White\u2019s case says the web site that he maintained until the FBI recently shut it down contained editorial comments of concern, such as anti-Semitic rants and references to lynchings.\nWhite, who lives in Roanoke, is currently jailed without bond in the Roanoke City Jail in the custody of the U.S. Marshals, while he awaits extradition to federal court in Chicago. His attorney said White will fight the transfer so that he can take care of his local rental properties and his wife and 8-month old daughter.\nThe Illinois office of the U.S. Attorney says a tentative arraignment date for White in Chicago is set for Nov. 12.\nTeri Whitcraft, Asa Eslocker, Joanna Jennings, and Rehab El-Buri contributed to this report.\nSOURCE: http://www.abcnews.go.com/Blotter/story?id=6133506&page=1\nFor those out there who think that racist skinheads, neo-Nazis and the KKK are a shadowy thing of the past\u2014\u2013think again.

Racist hatred has been simmering all along, underneath the surface.\nRacist hatred as been in America for over 400 years.\nRacism has always reared its virulent head when major, positive changes have occurred in America.\nIt will not be the last time.",

        "raw_content": "Burlington Probate Lawyer for Personal Representatives\nHelping Personal Representatives in Burlington, Arlington, Cambridge, Lexington, and throughout Greater Boston\nProbate is a legal term used to describe the process for winding up the affairs of a decedent. It applies to the estate administration for those who have died with a will and those who have died intestate (without a will). Probate also applies to those who have died with a trust, but only to those assets that are held outside of the trust.\nHow We Help Personal Representatives in the Probate Distribution Process\nA personal representative is charged with administering an estate. Typically, a personal representative is named in the will. If there is no will, a family member may seek to be designated as the personal representative. In either case, the Probate and Family Court of the Trial Court where the decedent lived must formally appoint a person as the personal representative, who thereafter will act to administer the estate.\nIf you have been named as a personal representative in a will, or if you seek to act in such capacity, we can assist in seeking such appointment.\nThereafter, the personal representative will have the authority to administer the estate and to distribute assets therefrom in accordance with the decedent\u2019s will (if there is one), or in accordance with Massachusetts intestate distribution law (if no will exists). The estate distribution steps generally include:\nSecuring and accounting for all of the decedent\u2019s assets\nEnsuring that the decedent\u2019s final tax returns are prepared and filed\nPaying all legitimate debts of the decedent from the estate assets (to the extent that assets are available to do so)\nDistributing the remaining assets in accordance with the will or intestate distribution laws\nFiling the appropriate documentation with the court\nIn most cases, those serving as a personal representative will be doing so for the first time, and likely will have many questions. We understand.\nIf you\u2019re serving as a personal representative, we can help you with nearly all of the tasks that will need to be accomplished, including preparing and filing the final tax returns and any estate tax returns. We will be there to answer your questions, provide advice concerning any issues that may arise, and to prepare documents that may be necessary (such as deeds of trust and other documentation to transfer real property). In short, we can help you during what may be a very difficult process following the death of your loved one.\nPlease call me to learn about how we can help you.",

        "raw_content": "Art exhibitions and more, Exhibits - Events - Galleries\nOh, for the love of God, not Damien Hirst again! \u2013 Tate Modern\nDamien Hirst poses in front of one of his 'butterfly' pieces. Image courtesy www.guardian.co.uk\nDamien Hirst\u2019s \u201cretrospective\u201d is on at Tate Modern, covering his work from early installations to current paintings, collages, and more. Runs from 4 April \u2013 9 September 2012\nLots of dead things\nBoy am I glad I have a Tate Member pass, because I wouldn\u2019t have gone to see the show if it wasn\u2019t included in the money I\u2019d already paid. Throughout the show I was bothered. It took a little while to figure out just why I was bothered by this artist\u2019s work, with an almost instant feeling of irritation/annoyance\u2026 Backing up a bit, I always try to find SOMETHING in EVERY exhibit that \u201cspeaks to me\u201d, feels resolved, or just plain \u201cworks\u201d. I guess Hirst\u2019s work then is successful, if it provoked any reaction at all (in my case, as I said, I became increasingly annoyed with every room).\nHowever, I liked this one and thought the juxtaposition of the angel with the butterfly \u201cstained glass\u201d pieces particularly fitting. Really lovely, both of them (even though Hirst didn\u2019t actually MAKE either one, the idea is what makes the art here?)\nDamien Hirst, \u2018Anatomy of an angel\u2019, 2008, marble. Image courtesy flickr.com\nIn no particular order, here are five problems with Hirst\u2019s work:\n1. Repetitive. There\u2019s the dead shark I\u2019ve read about (the $12million one). And a rack of dead fish. Dead sheep. Dead calf. Dead calf and dead cow. Dead cow\u2019s head with flies, both living and dead. OK we get it, you find dead things fascinating. *yawn* You could\u2019ve made that point with one spectacular piece \u2026the shark maybe?\u2026which would\u2019ve had a lot more impact/interest as a singular art object and if the artist had actually thought more about the content when he merely gave us the form, an empty shell essentially, that if you cracked the shell and spent more than a few seconds looking at it, you\u2019d see nothing there. Of course, it\u2019s difficult for those with the strongest stomachs to spend more than a few seconds on the rotting carcass of a dead animal. In that few seconds, then, is an amazing piece of art.\none of Hirst\u2019s dead stuff peices. YAWN! Image courtesy darkroom.baltimoresun.com\n2. Speaking of dead things. I think the dead thing used to be cool when I was 12. Check that \u2014 it\u2019s still cool in the context of a natural history or science museum. I don\u2019t see what beyond the science-y object Hirst brings to the world by putting it in an art gallery instead of a museum. Just because he can?\n3. Seen that, been there, done that. Sure, a lot of artists \u201cappropriate\u201d (sample, allude to, reproduce) but I think the key thing is to bring something new to the equation\u2026 a new way of thinking, a new perspective, a challenge\u2026 for me, Hirst does none of that; he just hits you in the head with \u201cI have a lot of money/influence in the art world so anything with my name on it is art/worthy/a blockbuster so pppbbbbthhh!\nImage courtesy tate.org.uk\n4. Speaking of, haven\u2019t I seen that before? So mid-way through the exhibit, after wading through rooms of medicines, surgical instruments, dead animals and cigarette butts, I said to my friend (the trained psychologist), \u201cSo in your line of work, you must\u2019ve worked with more than a few folks with\u2026errmm\u2026issues or obsessions, or compulsive behaviours such as collecting stuff or hoarding\u2026 does this guy have a problem or what?\u201d Without a blink, she commented that clearly Hirst is only putting it on, that is, he\u2019s pretending to have obsessive/compulsive behaviours, that he\u2019s mimicing these behaviours and trying to convince others he\u2019s \u201cgot a problem\u201d\u2026when he really doesn\u2019t. Just have a second look, think for more than a second, and there\u2019s simply no evidence of a real psychosis\u2026only a fake one. It\u2019s all made up, fake, a facade.\n5. Why? So if it\u2019s all made up, these obsessions and compulsions\u2026then why go through all that trouble? The answer from Hirst himself, as quoted by Julian Stallabrass who quotes Hirst as saying as early as 1990, before he had made his big breakthrough:\n\u201cI can\u2019t wait to get into a position to make really bad art and get away with it. At the moment if I did certain things people would look at it, consider it and then say \u2018f off\u2019. But after a while you can get away with things.\u201d\nThe key thing then as I was going through the exhibit, that I finally put my finger on, was I felt hoodwinked. Tricked. Laughed at (with derision not because I\u2019m funny). Looking into someone\u2019s psychotic mind is intriguing and engaging (case in point, Kusama\u2019s exhibit the next floor up). Looking into someone\u2019s pretend psychotic mind is annoying, especially when that person won\u2019t show you anything else but this made-up character, and won\u2019t show you anything real, and won\u2019t engage with the viewer.\nHirst would rather flash you with bright lights, hit you over the head and slither away with his bag of money while you\u2019re reeling. The exhibit was like watching a really badly written one-man play, with no plot, no context, where the main character pretends to be an artist, but instead of being himself, he plays the kind of artist he assumes you the viewer expect and want to see, arrogant and self-indulgent. *boring*\nDamien HIrst, \u2018Black Sun\u2019, 2004, flies and resin. Image courtesy damienhirst.com\nComplaints aside, you\u2019ve got to hand it to Hirst for making a living as something we\u2019ll call \u201cartist\u201d (for the purposes of this text) when so many artists have to have one or more OTHER \u201creal jobs\u201d just to eat and pay rent. The real shame is that a lot of these baristas and PAs are really skilled and talented people with something real or really important to offer the world, who despite their best efforts won\u2019t ever make a living making art.\nMaybe I\u2019ll feel better by referring to Hirst as an entrepreneur in the capitalist sense, because from the start, he figured out how to make a name for himself and capitalise on that name early and often. I, too, would love to figure out how to sell tat with exhorbitant mark-up prices, and become a multi-millionare along the way.\nDamien Hirst, \u2018For the Love of God\u2019, 2007, diamonds, platinum and human teeth.

        "raw_content": "Tag Archive for: Love LIVES\nYou are here: Home / Love LIVES\nLast week I shared how God met me in my deepest pit and intervened when I tried to take my own life. He not only sent someone to break down my door, He showed up Himself to sing His love over me. I am still amazed by the thought.\nYou might think that at this point I surrendered my life to the Lord. Nope.\nInstead I thought I deserved to be punished, not just for trying to take my own life, but for all the bad choices I had made, for all the times I had turned from God and went my own way. I was so ashamed! Surely God could not\u2014would not\u2014want me. Surely He could never forgive me. How could He love me after everything I had done?\nAnd so I ran, right into the arms of an abusive man.\nThis man was not my husband. I chose to live in sin even though I knew in my heart it was wrong. When he hit me the first time, I knew I deserved it. I deserved every beating, every broken bone, every humiliation. I had been searching for love for so long, I was willing to accept any love I could get, even love that hurt.\nI suffered beatings and torture every day, and I would think, maybe today he\u2019ll kill me, because I knew I deserved that too. I died inside a little more with every beating, every humiliation, every broken bone. Each blow confirmed what I already knew in my heart of hearts: No one could ever really love me. No One would ever want me; I was too broken and too damaged.\nSatan worked his magic through the fists and words of an abusive man, but God still had other plans for me. Even though I had turned from Him yet again, He continued to pursue me.\nThis time He sent me a precious gift, a life saving gift. He sent me a child.\nI was so excited when I found out I was pregnant. I would love my child in all the ways I had not been loved. I would somehow make it all right. I just knew that this child would satisfy my thirsty soul.\nFinally, my son was born. In my whole life I had never felt what I felt for this child! It was a love I could not understand. I loved him with everything that was in me. And I thought I had finally satisfied that longing, finally quenched my thirst.\nBut when I brought my son home from the hospital, I was still waist deep in my pit. I remained in a very dangerous, very abusive relationship with my son\u2019s father. I was afraid for my life and for my son\u2019s life, but I was too scared and too weak to do anything about it. And, I was still living in sin with a man who was not my husband. So I prayed that God would change my abuser so we could be a family. That\u2019s one prayer I am thankful God answered with a no. Instead God began to change me.\nFirst I had to learn to love myself, and I had to come to grips with who I really was and what was motivating the decisions I made. I learned that my need to feel loved had consumed me, and had so twisted my thinking that I was willing to allow a man to hit me and torture me, as long as he told me he loved me. And I learned that I needed to take ownership for my part in this relationship. You see, I allowed it to happen. I stayed. I covered up the bruises and broken bones and lied about them. I made excuses for his behavior. All because I believed I was unloved, believed I was not worthy, believed I deserved it.\nThen God began to change the way I saw my abuser. Eventually I got to the point that I loathed the man I once loved, hating every minute I spent with him. I even cringed at the sound of his voice. I no longer saw him through the tainted view of desperate love. Instead I saw the reality of who he was. I believe God was working in me to prepare me to leave. He had to change my heart and my thinking about myself and about this man to give me the strength to go. He needed to get me to a place that when I came face to face with my Lord there would be no looking back, no going back!\nDuring this time, my love for my son only grew. I took many beatings to protect him. I cried out to God to save him from my fate. And one day the revelation came: someday, this man would hit my son. I could not let that happen. I would do anything for this child, and he deserved a better life than this. I loved him so much I\u2019d die to save him, and that\u2019s when God changed my life forever. He spoke right into my heart, \u201cDon\u2019t you see? That\u2019s how much I love you. I gave up MY son for you!\u201d\nI thought of John 3:16,\nFor God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son\u2026\nI realized that God so loved Juliet, He was willing to sacrifice His son for me! I could not understand how He could love me after what I had done. I had turned my back on Him so many times, and I chose to run the other way even when He met me as I lay dying.\nBut the sins of my past didn\u2019t matter. That day God reminded me how much He loved me. He reminded me how He had sung over me as I tried to take my own life, reminded me that He had offered me the gift of grace through my son. And He reminded me that He would always love me, no matter how far away I ran, or how many times I turned my back on Him or how many bad choices I made. He showed me how He had pursued me and met me time and time again in my moments of greatest need.\nNo matter what I look like, or what I\u2019ve done, He loves me as I am! He loved me first. And this time when my God met me in my circumstance, I turned to Him. I received what He was offering me, the water of life. I had no regrets, no thoughts of running. Just an overwhelming sense of relief, that all the searching and all the pain was finally over. And the void I had been trying to fill for so many years was finally filled.\nMy encounter with God saved my life in more ways than one. I finally found the strength to leave my abuser. And I found the love I had been searching for since the day He knit me together in my mother\u2019s womb, in the arms of my heavenly Father.\nOur God works in ways beyond our comprehension. He sees our whole life laid out before Him, and He knows what you and I thirst for. He knows what it will take to get us to turn to Him, and He knows precisely when we finally will. And so He has written it in the stars, for each and every one of us, a clandestine date when He meets us face to face in the midst of our pit to offer us the water of life.\nYou can be sure He will go out of His way to be there. The question is, will you receive what He is offering you? Or will you go away thirsty and continue your futile search to fill the emptiness inside?\nPlease know today that NOTHING in this world will quench your thirst. Nothing else will satisfy. Only Christ can give you what you are searching for. Only He can refresh your weary soul and breathe life back into your hopeless world.\nAnd when you allow Him to do that you will be able to come full circle and step into what He has planned for you! I am excited to get to give back to victims of Domestic Violence. God has taken my mess and made it my message!\nFor the last 3 years we have been working alongside the staff of our local women\u2019s shelter, partnering with them to provide help with rent, utilities, clothing & food\u2014basically whatever is needed to help other victims survive. And now that we are officially a non-profit ministry, we are proud to announce our new outreach program.\nLove LIVES: Living In Victory & Empowering Survivors\nWe aim to meet the needs of victims by providing financial, physical, emotional and spiritual support through our mentoring program.\nIn the coming weeks we will be sharing more information about our vision and how you can partner with us to make a difference in the lives of these families! In the meantime, would you join us in prayer for the many hurting victims in our communities? Those who are parched, thirsty and searching. Those who need to know the Love of God, so they will never thirst again!",

        "raw_content": "Councilmember McDuffie Releases Statement on Historic Supreme Court Marriage Equality Decision\nWashington, DC \u2013 Today, Councilmember Kenyan R. McDuffie (D \u2013 Ward 5) released the following statement on the Supreme Court\u2019s historic ruling in the Obergefell v. Hodges case, which will prohibit states\u2019 ban on same-sex marriage:\n\u201cToday\u2019s Supreme Court ruling is a victory for every American. While citizens in 37 states and the District of Columbia have enjoyed the right to to marry an individual of the same sex, this right remains unfairly inhibited in 13 other states. Our highest court\u2019s ruling corrects this wrong and paves the way for marriage equality for every citizen in our nation, as guaranteed by the Constitution.\n\u201cIt is humbling to look back and see how far we have come as a nation. Equally as humbling is to recognize how far we have yet to go. It no doubt takes more than the judicial process to alter the behavior of our neighbors. Just earlier today, President Obama gave the eulogy for State Senator Clementa C. Pinckney, one of nine victims of the June 17 shooting at the African Methodist Episcopal Church in South Carolina. Now, more than ever, we must come together and rid ourselves of the hate and hostility that some have embraced based on nothing more than simple differences.\n\u201cEach day, we continue to make great strides.\n\u201cToday\u2019s landmark decision will be remembered by generations to come. Equality, in all its many forms \u2014 across race, gender, class and sexual orientation \u2014 was never meant to be aspirational. It is meant to be a reality. Let us celebrate the glimpses of the mountaintop along our continued journey. And let us not be satisfied until we are sitting atop that mountain. Each and every one of us.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Alan Hale, Ph.D. was born in Tachikawa, Japan, and moved with his family to Alamogordo, New Mexico, where he spent the remainder of his childhood years. After graduation from Alamogordo High School in 1976 he attended the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, where he graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Physics in 1980. After assignments at duty stations in San Diego and Long Beach, California, he left the Navy in 1983 and began working at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California, as an engineering contractor for the Deep Space Network. While at JPL he was involved with several spacecraft projects, most notably the Voyager 2 encounter with the planet Uranus in 1986.\nFollowing the Uranus encounter Alan Hale left JPL and returned to New Mexico, enrolling in the Astronomy department at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces. He earned his Master's Degree in 1989 and his Ph.D. in 1992 with a thesis entitled \"Orbital Coplanarity in Solar-Type Binary Systems: Implications for Planetary System Formation and Detection\" (which was published in the January 1994 issue of the Astronomical Journal). Upon earning his doctorate he initially worked at The Space Center (now the New Mexico Museum of Space History) in Alamogordo, New Mexico as its Staff Astronomer and Outreach Education Coordinator, and in 1993 he founded the Southwest Institute for Space Research (now the Earth Rise Institute).\nDr. Hale's research interests include the search for planets beyond the solar system, including those which might have favorable environments for life; stars like the sun; minor bodies in the solar system, especially comets and near-Earth asteroids; and advocacy of spaceflight. He is primarily known for his work with comets, which has included his discovery of Comet Hale-Bopp in 1995 and his participation in the International HalleyWatch during the return of Halley's Comet in 1986. In one of his more recent projects he has led two delegations of American scientists, students, and educators to Iran to engage in person-to-person science diplomacy with the Iranian people, the first to collect observations of the August 11, 1999 total solar eclipse and the second in July 2000 to participate in an international astronomical conference in Esfahan.\nBesides his research activities, Dr. Hale is an outspoken advocate for improved scientific literacy in our society, for better career opportunities for current and future scientists, and for taking individual responsibility to make ours a better society. He has written for such publications as Astronomy, the International Comet Quarterly, the Skeptical Inquirer, Free Inquiry, and the McGraw-Hill Yearbook of Science and Technology, and he writes a weekly newspaper column entitled \"In Our Skies\" (which has recently been compiled into an e-book available on CD). He is the author of Everybody's Comet: A Layman's Guide to Comet Hale-Bopp (High-Lonesome Books, 1996), is a frequent public speaker on astronomy, space, and other scientific issues, and from 2004 to 2006 was host of a weekly radio program, \"The Other Side of the Sky\" (the precursor to Earthrise Radio).\nDr. Alan Hale lives in the Sacramento Mountains outside of Cloudcroft, New Mexico, with his wife and two of their three sons, dog Percy, and several cats. On clear nights he can often be found making observations of the latest comets or other astronomical phenomena. When he is not engaged in his astronomical activities he enjoys running up and down the mountain roads, hiking in the hills, listening to the latest rock 'n roll music, and watching football games.\nEverybody's Comet: A Layman's Guide to Comet Hale-Bopp\nFor more 40 years, working with magazines like Rolling Stone, for newspapers like The New York Times and web sites like Bloomberg.com, Roger Black has been developing ways to communicate content more effectively. His teams have redesigned Reader's Digest, Esquire,\nRegis McKenna founded his own high tech marketing firm, Regis McKenna, Inc., in Silicon Valley in 1970 after working in the marketing departments of two early semiconductor pioneering companies.

        "title": "John Mason Neale's Poems with Analysis - KeyToPoetry.com",
        "raw_content": "John Mason Neale (24 January 1818 \u2013 6 August 1866) was an Anglican priest, scholar and hymn-writer.\nNeale was born in London, his parents being the Revd Cornelius Neale and Susanna Neale, daughter of John Mason Good. He was educated at Sherborne School, Dorset, and Trinity College, Cambridge, where (despite being said to be the best classical scholar in his year) his lack of ability in mathematics prevented him taking an honours degree. Neale was named after the Puritan cleric and hymn writer John Mason (1645\u201394), of whom his mother Susanna was a descendant.\nAt the age of 22 Neale was the chaplain of Downing College, Cambridge. At Cambridge he was affected by the Oxford Movement and helped to found the Cambridge Camden Society (afterwards known as the Ecclesiological Society). Though he was ordained in 1841 becoming the Vicar of Crawley the following year, but being forced to resign by 1846 due to disagreements with the diocesan bishop and his congregation, when he became warden of Sackville College, an almshouse at East Grinstead, an appointment which he held until his death.\nIn 1854 Neale co-founded the Society of Saint Margaret, an order of women in the Church of England dedicated to nursing the sick. Many Anglicans in his day, however, were very suspicious of anything suggestive of Roman Catholicism. Only nine years earlier, John Henry Newman had encouraged Catholic practices in Anglican churches and had ended up becoming a Roman Catholic. This encouraged the suspicion that anyone such as Neale was an agent of the Vatican, assigned to destroy Anglicanism by subverting it from within. Once, Neale was attacked and mauled at a funeral of one of the Sisters. From time to time unruly crowds threatened to stone him or to burn his house. He received no honour or preferment in England, and his doctorate was bestowed by Trinity College (Connecticut). However, his basic goodness eventually won the confidence of many who had fiercely opposed him, and the Sisterhood of St Margaret survived and prospered.\nHe was also the principal founder of the Anglican and Eastern Churches Association, a religious organization founded as the Anglican and Eastern Orthodox Churches Union in 1864. A result of this organisation was the Hymns of the Eastern Church, edited by John Mason Neale and published in 1865.\nNeale was strongly high church in his sympathies, and had to endure a good deal of opposition, including a fourteen years' inhibition by his bishop. Neale translated the Eastern liturgies into English, and wrote a mystical and devotional commentary on the Psalms. However, he is best known as a hymn writer and, especially, translator, having enriched English hymnody with many ancient and mediaeval hymns translated from Latin and Greek. More than anyone else, he made English-speaking congregations aware of the centuries-old tradition of Latin, Greek, Russian, and Syrian hymns. The 1875 edition of the Hymns Ancient and Modern contains 58 of his translated hymns; The English Hymnal (1906) contains 63 of his translated hymns and six original hymns by Neale.\n\u2190 John Marston\nJohn McCrae \u2192",

It will be a big budget Warner Brothers film, becoming part of the DC Universe, and it will be directed by Ann DuVernay. The implications, for anyone who chooses to ponder this are quite mind boggling. What immediately comes to mind for me is that this will focus worldwide media attention on Jack Kirby as a writer/creator and not merely as as Stan Lee\u2019s trusty go-to Marvel artist. Then too, what will the reaction be at the Lucasfilm division of Disney. Will many more people take notice of the obvious similarities that the Star War Universe has in common with a comic book that preceded the it by several years.\nJack Kirby will now leave his large imprint on two rival cinematic spheres of influence. The film that resonated best for me in the Marvel Universe was \u201cCaptain America, The First Avenger\u201d, but that was because it was set in the time of the world that had the greatest significance to Kirby, the period of WWII. The conflict was against fascism, and Kirby had been in that fight. Fascism was ultimate \u201canti-life\u201d. World War II was essential to the development of Jack Kirby\u2019s ontology, his philosophy of the nature of existence. As a man fighting Nazism, for him it was the essential battle of good vs. evil.\nThe second major part of Kirby\u2019s ontology was mythology, anything from Greece, Norway, various pagan religions and most important Judaism. You can see it in the New Gods. Apokolips vs, New Genesis. It is again the Manichean struggle of light against dark, good against evil.\nSo far, in the Marvel movies, much of this seems to be turned into a romp for the sake of more and more action. There are so many characters vying for attention that it\u2019s difficult to focus on the nature of the conflict. In \u201cThor Ragnarok,\u201d a film that was visually very much Kirby influenced, it was difficult to understand what anyone stood for. Even Asgard, Thor\u2019s home seemed to lack any coherence as a place from which gods and a mythology came.\nThe New Gods will be the first total Kirby-verse, the opportunity to build a Kirby Ontology and incorporate it into the DC Universe. Hopefully, the hot new Hollywood director will approach the task with respect.\nLet us hope for the best. This will be a big step. It will also be a test. Is it better to trivialize something for the sake of entertainment and profit, or to take it seriously and try to interpret it as best you can? Sometimes, someone\u2019s grand vision of someone else\u2019s vision can lead to something incoherent, or neither here nor there? After all, this is pop culture, Comic books. Does it really matter?\nFor those who revere Kirby, it certainly matters. Nearly every panel he conceives, such as the two featured here, gives any half-wit an almost complete set of directions on how to interpret it. New Genesis, shown above, is a total environment, richly textured and peopled by consistent characters and worldviews. Darkseid and Apokolips shown below, gives us the figure and realm of a being whose very nature is the antithesis of the freedom of independent thought. So we should hope for someone who can take that vision and give back something that is respectful of the greatest creative mind in the history of comics.\nWhatever happens, let\u2019s at least be glad the King\u2019s legacy and family are getting a shot in the arm.\n\u2190 Jack Kirby, American",

        "raw_content": "Dr Rodoula Tryfonidou, Head of Energy Research Strategies and Policy Issues at the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, was delighted to welcome the many industry representatives. (Source: BINE Information Service)\nThe founding event for the Flexible Energy Conversion Research Network was held at the end of February 2017 at the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy in Berlin. In future, classic power plant technologies will work under one roof with solar thermal power plants and thermal storage systems. The key task will be to increase flexibility and improve the partial load behaviour in order to support the fluctuating renewable energies.\nDr Rodoula Tryfonidou, Head of Energy Research Strategies and Policy Issues at the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, welcomed the 150 experts from industry, research facilities, universities and associations and explained the objectives and tasks of the research networks. These are open platforms for discussion and participation between the experts as well as in regard to the energy research conducted by the German Federal Government. She hoped that such a network would enable the experts present to define their future themes and strategies and present them for discussion. This discussion process, which starts today, will ultimately be incorporated into the new Energy Research Programme. The new Flexible Energy Conversion Research Network is already the seventh network in addition to Buildings and Districts, System Analysis, Electricity Networks, Renewable Energies, Biomass as well as Industry and Trade.\nThe new network also brings together researchers from fields concerned with classic power plant technology, solar thermal power plants and large-scale thermal storage facilities. This means that the entire thermal power plant technologies are combined. Dr Tryfonidou thanked the COORETEC research initiative and Turbo AG for the very successful work over many years. She said that the results achieved will be incorporated into the new Flexible Energy Conversion Research Network, which means that it will not have to start its work from scratch but can already start today from a solid basis.\nDuring the subsequent panel discussion, Dr Dietmar Keller (RWE Power AG), Professor Alfons Kather (Hamburg University of Technology), Professor Robert Pitz-Paal (German Aerospace Center), Matthias Zelinger (Mechanical Engineering Industry Association) and Professor Walter Leitner (RWTH Aachen University) suggested themes relating to the future of power plants for the following plenary discussion.\nTaking part in the panel discussion were (from the left) Dr Dietmar Keller (RWE Power AG), Professor Alfons Kather (Hamburg University of Technology), Professor Robert Pitz-Paal (DLR), Matthias Zelinger (VDMA) and Professor Walter Leitner (RWTH Aachen University). (Source: BINE Information Service)\nProfessor Kather: The new central task for the future is to support fluctuating renewable energies by increasing the flexibility of conventional power plants. A key approach here is to develop large renewable storage systems. Until these are realised, conventional power plants will be indispensable. In particular, the focus is on chemical storage in order to store renewable hydrogen \u2013 the key technology. The core research area consists of Power-to-X technologies. Further objectives are concerned with improving the partial load behaviour of conventional power stations, increasing the fuel flexibility as well as the co-combustion of biomass and cogeneration. The prospects extend to pure hydrogen turbines. Almost the same technical requirements exist for exports as for the national market.\nDr Dietmar Keller (RWE), Professor Alfons Kather (TU Hamburg Harburg) and moderator Stefan Gr\u00fctzmacher. (Source: BINE Information Service)\nDr Keller emphasised in his statement that higher flexibility and increasing partial load operation pose different requirements for components and systems. The damage mechanisms are not yet fully understood and RWE is therefore conducting research on materials. Further research is needed in terms of accelerating the start-up and shut-down processes, further reducing the minimum load of power plants and increasing the fuel flexibility. A further focus of the research is on the potential for coupling sectors.\nBecause technological developments are hardly possible without a global market perspective, Mr Zelinger pointed to two global trends: energy consumption is increasing and the share of renewables is growing. The financial resources for the energy system are limited and ultimately decide which system can supply the kilowatt hours of electricity at the right price. The IEA estimates that by 2040, 100 gigawatts of gas power plants and about half as many coal-fired power plants will be built worldwide each year. Zelinger argues that Germany should focus on gas-fired power plants (gas and steam turbines, engines), as well as storage and sector coupling technologies, because this is where the industry enjoys a leading technological position.\nProfessor Pitz-Paal began by making it clear that solar thermal power plants basically use conventional power plant technology, supplemented by concentrated solar heat as a source of energy. Solar power plants have considerable experience in using large thermal storage systems to enable them to generate electricity even during the night. With the 10% co-firing of fossil fuels, the plants in sunny countries can be operated with a similar availability as conventional power plants. This technology was launched on the market in 2007 and the global market is estimated to amount to 20 billion euros per year. The German industry is well positioned with components and systems. Since 2007, this technology has managed to reduce its costs by 60%. The future task is to come under the market threshold of 6-8 cents through serial production and technological improvements. This is within range.\nProfessor Leitner advocated the material use of CO2. There are many ways to use carbon dioxide as a raw material. One example is polyurethane production (PUR). One important aspect is that the material utilisation of CO2 opens up a wide range of possibilities for coupling sectors and connecting to the energy system. End products include, for example, synthetic fuels and basic chemical products. Compared with conventional fuels, these fuels can be furnished with improved properties in order to mitigate previous harmful environmental effects.\nProfessor Pitz-Paal (DLR), Matthias Zelinger (VDMA) and Professor Leitner (RWTH Aachen University) (Source: BINE Information Service)\nThe economic and technical prospects for solar-thermal power plants, the potential of CCU technologies and broader sectoral coupling each formed a focus of the subsequent discussion in the plenum. In terms of increasing the link between the energy production and transport sectors, the discussion then focussed on synthetic fuels. Their generation incurs considerable energy expenditure and can only be carried out with inevitable CO2 emissions. One factor in favour of synthetic fuels, however, is that air transport and parts of the heavy-load sector will also be dependent on liquid fuels in the medium term. This is where electromobility currently reaches its limits. In terms of sectoral coupling, power plants with gasification technologies are gaining in importance. Another discussion point was concerned with the optimal strategy for dealing with hydrogen as a storage medium. Although direct re-conversion into electricity offers greater efficiency (approximately 50%) compared with methanation (approximately 30%), the latter is able to make use of the natural gas network with its large storage capacities.",

This image shows texture.\nTexture to me is what is showcased in an image that makes your brain feel like you could feel the image even if it is on a single, flat, plane. This image is a good example of texture because of the airy, open pockets that are featured throughout. You can see there are multiple layers to the pockets, all intertwining at different points that show depth, and thus increase the texture of the image rather than having one layer. Even by looking at the image, you can get a sense of what it would feel like if you were to run your hands over it.\nTo me, point is the place in which an image clearly starts, begins, or has it\u2019s own space that is specific to the image. Line to me is when different points join together to create a line that your eye follows, or can be an actual line that draws your eye. Plane to me is the larger, flat surfaces that either are coherent together or flat that section off different parts of an image in large areas. Volume to me is when an image clearly shows depth and allows your eyes to see that the image does have layers to it, even if it is a flat image. This second image shows point, line, and plane. Each of the diamonds can be viewed as a point, but together they create lines going both horizontally and vertically. You can also see the different planes that are featured as each of the diamond sets change color going from blue to pink to white. There is also volume visible in the image because you can tell, especially in the center of the image where the pink diamonds are, that the diamonds are not all flush with each other, but that some of them are slightly raised or lowered in relation to the others.\nImage by Sam Cox.

        "raw_content": "The Channel Islands \u2013 A Paradise Getaway between the UK and France\nIf long plane journeys aren\u2019t your thing and you want to travel somewhere new while staying fairly local, the Channel Islands are a great choice. Closer to France than they are to the UK, the Channel Islands are blessed with beautiful beaches, stunning hotels, fascinating historical sites and plenty to keep you entertained. With the recent Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society film generating much more interest in the islands, this destination is sure to grow in popularity over the next few years.\nJersey is the biggest of the islands and has a population of about 100,000 people. One of its main attractions is Durrell Zoo (named after the animal conservationist and writer Gerald Durrell), where you can see bigger animals (such as gorillas, orangutan, and bears) as well as smaller ones (meerkats, mongoose and lemurs). The Durrell Wildlife Hostel and Camp also provides a fantastic experience for those who want something a bit more unusual than a standard B&B.\nIf you like being in the center of the action, head for St. Helier \u2013 the capital. There are numerous cafes and restaurants to suit every taste. I recommend Bean Around the World for a top-notch caf\u00e9 as well as the La Fregate caf\u00e9 along the seafront which looks like an upside-down boat, and if you like Mexican food then don\u2019t look any further than Air Mex, which is stylishly done up to look like an airplane interior.\nhttps://www.instagram.com/p/Bh0pAMdAi7u/\nOn the topic of food and drink, here are a few top tips for things to try in Jersey:\nJersey milk (full fat!)\nJersey ice-cream\nLocal lobster and oysters\nhttps://www.instagram.com/p/Bj-aaMFnQBI/\nIf your perfect holiday includes frequent trips to the beach, Jersey will do you proud. Pictures of beaches from the Channel Islands are often mistaken for beaches in the Caribbean, and while the waters may not be so warm as in exotic locations, you can be guaranteed that the beaches are pleasant to visit \u2013 they frequently win awards for cleanliness, and even in the height of summer you can find plenty of space to lay down a towel. Water sporting experiences are available around the island, and for a top recommendation of which beaches to head to, try St. Ouen\u2019s Bay and St. Brelade\u2019s Bay.\nTravel to Jersey is easiest out of all the islands, with frequent flights to the island from all over the UK and plenty of flights daily out of London. You can also go by boat, which takes a few hours from the UK. Boat prices are generally the cheaper option, and you can get good deals either as a foot passenger or with a car. For AirB&B properties, the average cost is about \u00a350-\u00a360 per night in the summer, and hotels come in at around \u00a380-\u00a3100 per night.\nGuernsey has a population of 63,000 people, many of whom will have watched the recent Potato Peel Pie film (with mixed reactions!) Like Jersey, visiting the beach is a great reason to check out this island, which is generously endowed with natural beauty. Top beaches for you to visit include:\nIf clifftop walks are more your thing, you couldn\u2019t pick a better spot than Icart Point. Aside from the natural beauty of the island, there are plenty of things to see and do if you\u2019d like to find out more regarding the history of the island. Castle Cornet is a great place to spend a few hours learning about recent history and seeing all the artifacts in the museums. Nearby is the recently restored Guernsey Aquarium, the La Vallette bathing pools, and one of many museums dedicated to the occupation of Guernsey in World War 2. Popular with French tourists, Hauteville House was the home of eccentric writer Victor Hugo, and his choice of interior design is not to be missed!\nThe summertime is undoubtedly the best time of year to visit Guernsey, not just to experience the beaches during the warmer months but also for the summer festivals. In August, the North, South and West shows are the highlight of the summer of many locals and tourists, where you can see traditional crafts, sample traditional foods (such as the popular \u2018bean jar\u2019) and see some local produce. The Viaer Marchi is on in July and is also well worth popping along to.\nA fishing boat at Guernsey\nLike Jersey, you can reach the island by sea or air. Flights to the island are less frequent than those to Jersey but there are several options including flights from London airports, Exeter, Bristol, Southampton, Norwich, Leeds and Manchester, and also select destinations elsewhere in Europe. AirB&B prices can be a little higher than what you find in Jersey, but B&B and hotel prices are about the same.\nAlderney is the smallest of the main islands with a population of roughly 2,000 people. Often overlooked by tourists (because it is difficult to get to and there isn\u2019t much to do there) Alderney is the perfect destination if you\u2019re looking for a calm, quiet getaway in a stunning location.\nSeal puppy \u2026 so a flat surface is recommended for this exercise!It\u2019s challenging enough on a mat (the video I took was comedy) #sealpuppy #alderney #arch #beach #beautifulisland #mybasilife #pilatesanytime #lovepilates\nA post shared by EmilyOdoirePilates (@emilyodoirepilates) on Jun 3, 2018 at 1:04pm PDT\nThings to do in Alderney all revolve around the great outdoors \u2013 walking and cycling, bird watching (for gannets, puffins, petrels, and cormorants), visiting the unspoilt beaches, fishing, sailing, and swimming. Local guided tours are on offer for those who want to learn more about the local environment.\nFly to Alderney direct from Southampton, or transfer in Guernsey for other destinations. By boat, infrequent sailings are available from Guernsey and also from Cherbourg. Charter trips by sea and air are possible and not as expensive as you may think. A handful of camping, self-catering, B&B and hotel options are available on the island, but places are limited to make sure to book in advance.\nThis small island with a population of just 600 locals is a paradise island not to be missed. You won\u2019t find any cars on the island \u2013 travel is by bike, on foot or by horse and cart \u2013 a top tourist experience. Like Alderney, this island doesn\u2019t have much in the way of \u2018attractions\u2019 other than the fantastic views available around the island. There aren\u2019t a huge number of beaches that are suitable for swimming, but the clifftop walks are completely stunning.\nhttps://www.instagram.com/p/Beci8XwhcLk\nFor a local souvenir, check out Caragh Chocolates for a special treat \u2013 it\u2019s near to the La Coupee walk across to Little Sark which is an unmissable feature of the island. For where to stay, Stocks and the La Sablonnerie are the two fancy hotels (expensive, but exquisite) and there are also numerous B&B\u2019s, small hotels and self-catering accommodation options on offer. For a top choice in a brilliant location, we recommend le Vallon d\u2019Or.\nA light coating of haze\nA post shared by Luc (@lucdlm) on Jun 11, 2018 at 12:28pm PDT\nTravel to Sark by boat from Guernsey, with several sailings every day in peak season and a reduced service over the colder months. From Jersey, there are a handful of sailings a week, and you can also charter private boats.\nThe smallest of the islands, Herm has a permanent population of just 60 people. The island is basically one, big beach \u2013 there are no museums, no other attractions, just a few miles of glorious sand and sparkling waters. Day trips in the summer months are popular with both Guernsey locals and tourists, but a visit in the winter is also worth considering \u2013 reduced priced tickets to encourage people to do their Christmas shopping on the island are not to be missed. Shell beach is the most popular, but Belvoir Bay is also fantastic, particularly if you can grab a secluded spot.\nhttps://www.instagram.com/p/BjvVaIIgwz0/?\nThere are a few cafes and restaurants, but if you\u2019re visiting in peak season it might be worth booking in advance or bringing a packed lunch because amenities are certainly limited on the island. Boats from Guernsey are inexpensive and run several times a day during the summer, with a reduced service in the winter.\nThe Channel Islands might not be everybody\u2019s first choice for an exotic summer holiday but there is much to see and do on the islands to entice all sorts of visitors. Get the exotic feel without having to brush up on a foreign language or navigate unfamiliar menus. The Channel Islands are a little slice of paradise that is barely a stone\u2019s throw from home (the UK).",

        "raw_content": "\u201cEnrichment Exercise\u201d: School Terrifies Kids With Fake Masked Gunman\nPosted on October 18, 2013 October 17, 2013 by Philip Hodges\nI don\u2019t know why they call them \u201cno tolerance\u201d policies when they obviously don\u2019t apply to everyone. They go to such great lengths to justify suspending a student for eating a pastry in a questionable shape or pointing his finger in a \u201cthreatening\u201d way. They\u2019ll tell parents something like:\n\u201cLook, we have a no-tolerance policy toward guns and other weapons. Student safety is our top priority, and even the very appearance of a gun is enough to frighten students. Remember, we live in a post-Sandy Hook environment. We must take every measure possible to make sure students feel safe while at school. Pointing a finger in a way that resembles a gun is a disgrace to you, me and the entire Gem State.\u201d\nThey\u2019ll even suspend a teacher for bringing common household tools to school for show-and-tell. You know, because a toolbox might include things that could be used as weapons. Remember, no tolerance.\nThese policies don\u2019t at all apply to school administrators if they decide to perform some school exercise for \u201cteaching\u201d purposes. This is what happened in a North Carolina public school:\nEastern Wayne Middle School students were terrified when they were told there was an armed robber in the school with a mask and a handgun Friday. However, they quickly learned it was all part of a school lesson. Nonetheless, some parents are not happy with the exercise and school officials admit it was a bad move. In a letter that was sent home to parents, the school said it was part of an enrichment exercise trying to teach kids to be aware of their surroundings. A school employee dressed up in a ski mask and carrying a fake gun pretended to be a robber. The school system admits \u2013 in light of the school shootings making headlines around the country \u2013 they should have been more sensitive.\nI guess as long as school administrators decide it\u2019s a good idea to use toy guns and ski masks to dress some teacher up as an armed robber, it\u2019s OK, because it\u2019s part of an \u201cenrichment exercise.\u201d So, we should teach kids it\u2019s wrong to point, because it looks like a gun, but teachers can dress up as if they\u2019re going to reenact Sandy Hook, and that\u2019s simply a \u201cteaching exercise.\u201d Got it.\nPosted in Crime, Education, Police StateTagged public school\nGOP Strategist: Ted Cruz Is \u201cHaving Bunny Sex\u201d\nArmy Officer Sentenced To 20 Years For Doing His Duty In Afghanistan",

        "title": "The Police with Elvis Costello - Las Vegas Weekly",
        "raw_content": "The Police with Elvis Costello\nMay 23, MGM Grand Arena\nEleven months after blowing into Las Vegas for an early appearance on their reunion tour and limping out off a lackluster performance, The Police did their substantial legacy proud last Friday night. A crowd of 11,000\u2014far fewer than at last June\u2019s wildly hyped, wrap-behind-the-stage sellout of 15,000\u2014discovered that Sting, Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland spent the past year sharpening their sound and trimming fat from their set, to the point where the trio\u2019s comeback finally felt more musical triumph than money grab.\nThe Police and Elvis Costello\nOf course, installing Elvis Costello as support act didn\u2019t hurt. Before the bespectacled 53-year-old and his Imposters had finished second song \u201cPump It Up,\u201d they\u2019d already easily overshadowed 2007\u2019s nepotistic choice of openers, the forgettable Fiction Plane, fronted by Sting\u2019s son. Costello\u2019s no-frills show might be better suited for the intimate confines of the Joint than to MGM\u2019s arena, but the onetime pub rocker made the most of his 50-minute time slot, mixing seminal cuts (\u201cWatching the Detectives,\u201d \u201c(What\u2019s So Funny \u2019Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding\u201d), material from new album Momofuku, a retooled arrangement of well-worn classic \u201cEveryday I Write the Book\u201d and\u2014to the delight of an otherwise fairly ambivalent audience\u2014a duet with Sting on \u201cAlison.\u201d\nMr. Sumner sounded strange on that number, as if he\u2019d spent a lifetime aping Costello\u2019s version in the shower and couldn\u2019t shake loose, but once his Police took the stage, the gray-bearded bassist proved to be in robust, unmistakable voice, leading the band through opener \u201cBring on the Night,\u201d one of three new additions to the setlist since last June (the others were \u201cDemolition Man\u201d and \u201cHole in My Life\u201d; excised were \u201cSynchronicity II,\u201d \u201cSpirits in the Material World,\u201d \u201cTruth Hits Everybody,\u201d \u201cThe Bed\u2019s Too Big Without You\u201d and \u201cWalking in Your Footsteps\u201d). After the next two tunes\u2014a take-no-prisoners dash through \u201cMessage in a Bottle\u201d and a straightforward reading of \u201cWalking on the Moon\u201d\u2014it was clear the three musicians had come to a welcome realization after their initial batch of concert dates: Newfangled reinterpretations were not what fans waited 23 years and paid $75 to $250 to hear. An odd revamp of \u201cDon\u2019t Stand So Close to Me\u201d and a brief detour in \u201cRoxanne\u201d aside, the second installment wasn\u2019t about jazzy indulgences or reconfigured sequences. By and large, the crowd got what it wanted\u2014the chance to sing along with the Brits\u2019 biggest hits the way they sounded in the late \u201970s and early \u201980s.\nNot everything came off perfectly. \u201cEvery Little Thing She Does Is Magic\u201d begged for piano. The aforementioned \u201cDon\u2019t Stand So Close to Me\u201d begged to be euthanized once and for all. And the song selection begged for a bit more variation, particularly given Copeland\u2019s boasts at last year\u2019s pre-tour press conference about how he and his mates planned to mix it up nightly.\nStill, if The Police\u2019s August show in Manhattan is to be, as they insist, their final time together, they\u2019ll go back into big-band nirvana with their reputation more or less intact. At least, in the eyes of those who braved a return engagement.\nThe bottom line: ****",

        "raw_content": "Customized New York Jets Jerseys from dan yu's blog\nThe San Francisco 49ers started free agency Wednesday by getting some needed help for quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo Womens Kareem Hunt Jersey , agreeing to a four-year contract with versatile running back Jerick McKinnon and a five-year deal with interior offensive lineman Weston Richburg just after the start of the new league year.\nThe two deals fill holes on the roster with McKinnon expected to replace departing starter Carlos Hyde and Richburg able to step in immediately as the starter either at center or guard.\nThe team also agreed to a three-year deal to keep linebacker Brock Coyle, who started 10 games last season before undergoing offseason shoulder surgery.\nGeneral manager John Lynch said McKinnon and Richburg were both high on the team's priority list in free agency and he was glad to be able to lock both of them up as soon as the new league year started.\n\"We see Weston as one of the top young interior offensive linemen in the NFL,\" Lynch said. \"His athleticism, intelligence and attitude are a perfect fit for our scheme. Jerick has proven to be an extremely versatile football player whose speed, elusiveness and tackle-breaking ability make him a very difficult matchup for defenses. We can't wait to get them on the field with their teammates and coaches later this spring.\"\nMcKinnon spent four years in Minnesota, mostly as a backup, after being drafted in the third round in 2014 out of Georgia Southern. He has rushed for 1,918 yards with an average of 4.0 yards per carry Youth JuJu Smith-Schuster Jersey , has 142 catches for 984 yards, and has scored 12 touchdowns.\nMcKinnon had his most productive season last year, when he ran for a career-high 570 yards while setting personal bests with 51 catches for 421 yards.\nMcKinnon replaces Carlos Hyde, who is leaving as a free agent for Cleveland. McKinnon has more speed and is a better receiving threat than Hyde and should fit well into coach Kyle Shanahan's offense.\nRichburg spent the past four seasons with the New York Giants but played only four games last year because of a concussion. He began his career as a left guard before moving to center in 2015. He played there the past three seasons and is considered one of the top pass-blocking players at the position and has the athleticism to thrive in Shanahan's zone-running scheme.\nCoyle had 62 tackles last season in his first year with the 49ers.\n\"He's a selfless guy that does everything the right way,\" Shanahan said. \"We've always known Brock to be a guy we can count on and it was great to see him play the way he did when given the opportunity.\"\nThe 49ers had previously re-signed starting center Daniel Kilgore to a three-year contract last month but Kilgore also has experience at guard and could be asked to move.\nIt's been a busy offseason already for San Francisco. The Niners signed Garoppolo to a five-year deal last month before he even hit free agency, signed cornerback Richard Sherman after he was cut by Seattle, re-signed defensive lineman Cassius Marsh and offensive lineman Garry Gilliam and gave an extension to receiver Marquise Goodwin.\nThese moves have addressed many of the team's most glaring needs although San Francisco still could be in the market for another cornerback, a pass rusher Customized New York Jets Jerseys , help at linebacker and a big receiving target.\nAfter losing their first nine games last year, the 49ers underwent a remarkable turnaround. They went 5-0 after Garoppolo took over as starting quarterback and finished the year with a 6-10 mark and plenty of optimism they hope to carry over into 2018.\nAuthorities say former Jacksonville Jaguars safety and assistant coach Marlon McCree was arrested over the weekend following a vehicle chase with his ex-wife and crashing his truck into her SUV.\nA Jacksonville Sheriff's Office report says the 41-year-old McCree was arrested Saturday evening on charges of simple assault and aggravated battery.\nThe report says the ex-wife had filed for a protection order against McCree and went to a police substation Saturday to report past domestic violence incidents.\nThe ex-wife told police McCree was waiting for her when she left the substation. She says she and her mother tried to drive away, but McCree followed and rammed her vehicle several times. They were able to escape by running several red lights.\nMcCree was released on bail Sunday. Jail records didn't list an attorney.\nMcCree and his ex-wife divorced in 2015. They have three children together.\nMcCree also played for the Denver Broncos, San Diego Chargers, Carolina Panthers and Houston Texans.",

        "raw_content": "Home Shows & Happenings Arts and Culture\nHot Stuff: We Got To Know The Secret Behind Beyonce's Powerful Songs and Performances\nEver wondered how Beyonce always comes out with strong and emotional performances (especially with her later work as a solo artist)? We learned that she actually applied the techniques taught to her by renowned Hollywood acting coach Ivanna Chubbuck.\nChubbuck coached Beyonce for her movie Dream Girls, for which the latter received critical acclaim for her performance. But even if Beyonce is not pursuing acting full time, she applied the Chubbuck technique through her songs, transitioning from pop princess status to iconic singer levels. \u201c[Beyonce] called me up, and she said that she used the Chubbuck technique in her lyrics and in the performance of her songs on women empowerment,\u201d Chubbuck shared to the media during her presscon for her Acting Masterclass Workshop for Star Magic Artists.\n\u201cIt\u2019s the power the actor has to change the world, if you choose to do it that way,\u201d Chubbuck adds, elaborating on how Beyonce applied the Chubbuck technique to send a strong message through her songs and performances.\nWe rounded up Beyonce\u2019s great live performances that showcased her application of the famed Chubbuck technique:\n1. Her performance at the inauguration ball of US Pres. Barack Obama in 2009. Making this performance of hers notable, aside from it being her first stint for the first African-American president, is that it was the first performance Chubbuck coached Beyonce in honing her live performances.\n2. Her \u201cSingle Ladies\u201d performance at the 2009 VMAs. Aside from that controversial Kanye West-Taylor Swift encounter (that started the rift between them that exists up to now), another memorable moment at the awards show was when Beyonce performed this hit single of hers which also won Video of the Year.\n3. That Destiny\u2019s Child reunion performance for the 2013 Super Bowl halftime. Seven years after Destiny\u2019s Child has disbanded, Beyonce reunited onstage with Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams to sing a few of their hits to the Super Bowl crowd.\n4. Her 2014 Grammys performance with Jay-Z. Amidst cheating and divorce issues between her and husband Jay-Z, their \u201cDrunk in Love\u201d duet performance proved just how much love they have for one another, imperfections and all.\n5. Her 2016 Super Bowl halftime performance with Bruno Mars. Sharing the spotlight with Bruno Mars, Beyonce\u2019s performance here epitomized the meaning of girl power with her all-girl drum line and her performance of \u201cFormation.\u201d\n6. Her 2016 VMA performance. Earning 11 nominations and winning eight awards (including Video of the Year), Beyonce treated everyone present with a medley of songs from her critically-acclaimed album Lemonade.\nALSO READ: The Six Fix: Empowering Madonna Songs for the Unapologetically Independent Woman\nArtwork by Jana Jimenez\nTAGS: BEYONCE Hot stuff Ivanna Chubbuck",

        "raw_content": "EGOSE 2018: Electronic Governance and Open Society: Challenges in Eurasia pp 481-491 | Cite as\nMending Government-to-Business Communication Disruptions in Russia: Language Perspective\nEkaterina Baeva\nVladimir Bondar\nRelations between government and various social entities often present serious challenges in many respects, among which communication is one of the most widespread and frequently neglected, especially when it comes to the sphere of government-to-business (G2B) communication. This paper addresses the issues in G2B interaction that pertain to the sphere of language and appear to be most vulnerable and fraught with possible communication failures. Though business and government discourse domains are regarded as separate, often unparalleled manifestations of language registers with their own established and long-standing traditions of specific usage of syntax, vocabulary, style etc, we argue that it is governmental communicators who are responsible for alleviating communication problems and taking additional language effort to adjust their messages to the rules of clear, concise and coherent business communication. Building on responses of surveyed employees from several firms, we devise a technique which shows in which cases governmental agents should abandon rigidity of communication behavior and succumb to changes in various language aspects. In particular, we propose to identify the so-called perception consistency which works as a benchmark in detecting which genre or/and which language aspect (style, grammar, vocabulary etc.) of governmental messages needs reformulation and readjustment. The paper contributes to a better understanding of multifaceted governmental transformations, an integral part of which is represented by a necessity of change in communication styles in the process of adaptation to constantly changing needs of society.\nG2B communication Government transformations Language perspective Communication disruptions Perception consistency\nThe authors would like to thank the anonymous reviewers for their valuable comments and suggestions to improve this paper.\nHildebrandt, H.W., Bond, F.A., Miller, E.L., Swinyard, A.W.: An executive appraisal of courses which best prepare one for general management.

        "raw_content": "Beauty Queen ~ A Short Story by Allen Kopp\nI had fifteen minutes before bus time so, after buying my ticket, I sat down on one of the ratty bus station seats that had some of the stuffing coming out. It had been a difficult week (they all were) and I felt terrible. My toothache was killing me, I felt like I had a cold coming on, and I had heartburn from the Hungarian goulash I had for dinner. I took another one of my pills for my tooth, washing it down with a shot of the watered-down whiskey from the flask I carried. I closed my eyes and felt myself growing drowsy in the warm, stale air of the bus station when somebody sat down beside me. I opened my eyes and saw it was Wanda Guilfoyle.\n\u201cHow are you, Warren?\u201d she said.\nShe had never spoken to me before and I was surprised she even knew my name.\n\u201cAll right,\u201d I said.\n\u201cGoing home for the weekend?\u201d\n\u201cIt\u2019s always good to get away from school for a couple of days, isn\u2019t it?\u201d\nWanda was homecoming queen and the most beautiful girl in school. She had perfect skin and honey-blond hair that cascaded down her back. She was a drama major; I had seen her in Dial M for Murder in the part that Grace Kelly played in the movie. Everybody believed she would go to Hollywood after she finished school and become a big movie star.\nWanda and I moved in different circles, as you might imagine. The only reason I knew her at all was because her boyfriend, Mickey Farrington, was an acquaintance of mine and we roomed on the same floor.\n\u201cYes, it\u2019s always good to go back home,\u201d I said.\n\u201cDid you hear that Mickey and I got engaged?\u201d she asked.\n\u201cNo,\u201d I said. \u201cWhen did that happen?\u201d\n\u201cAt the sweethearts\u2019 dance a couple of weeks ago.\u201d\n\u201cI wasn\u2019t there,\u201d I said. \u201cI never go to those things.\u201d\n\u201cYou should go! They\u2019re lots of fun.\u201d\nI shook my head. I was sure my face turned a shade of crimson.\n\u201cSome people are meant to go to dances and some are meant to stay at home,\u201d I said.\n\u201cOh, Warren,\u201d she laughed. \u201cYou are funny! Don\u2019t you even have a girlfriend?\u201d\n\u201cNo,\u201d I said. \u201cI don\u2019t want one.\u201d\nShe laughed again. \u201cEvery boy needs a girlfriend. I know three or four girls who would be so happy to go out with you.\u201d\n\u201cYou mean ugly girls?\u201d\n\u201cYou\u2019re just shy. You need to work on overcoming your shyness.\u201d\n\u201cIt\u2019s more social ineptness than shyness,\u201d I said, pleased with my own cleverness and flattered that she and I were sitting there talking about such things.\n\u201cAnyway,\u201d she said. \u201cSo Mickey and I will be getting married soon.\u201d\n\u201cMarriage can thwart your career goals,\u201d I said. I knew I sounded idiotic but she didn\u2019t seem to mind.\n\u201cWell, that\u2019s true,\u201d she said, \u201cbut to me the most important thing is marriage. Then I\u2019ll worry about my career.\u201d\n\u201cAre you going to be an actress?\u201d I asked.\n\u201cWho knows?\u201d she said. \u201cI might be a laundress or a clerk in a department store, like countless others. One thing is as good as another.\u201d\n\u201cNo ambition?\u201d I asked.\n\u201cI don\u2019t have any, either.\u201d\n\u201cAll human endeavor is essentially pointless,\u201d she said.\n\u201cI\u2019ve always thought that,\u201d I said, amazed that she and I had anything in common.\n\u201cHow well do you know Mickey?\u201d she asked.\n\u201cOh, I\u2019ve talked to him a few times. I\u2019ve sat across the table from him in the cafeteria. I wouldn\u2019t say we were friends, though.\u201d\n\u201cDo you know a girl named Marsha Dethers?\u201d\n\u201cShe goes around with all her body parts hanging out. She has no taste and no class. She\u2019s a whore, a total slut.\u201d\n\u201cI get the impression you don\u2019t like her very much.\u201d\n\u201cI think Mickey is cheating on me with her.\u201d\n\u201cThat\u2019s a bad sign, isn\u2019t it?\u201d I said.\n\u201cIf I find out it\u2019s true, first I\u2019ll kill her and then I\u2019ll kill him.\u201d\n\u201cMaybe it\u2019s not such a good idea for you to marry him,\u201d I said, \u201cif you already suspect him of infidelity.\u201d\n\u201cOh, he\u2019s the one all right. If I can\u2019t have him, I don\u2019t want anybody.\u201d\n\u201cYou\u2019re young,\u201d I said, and I knew I was on the verge of saying something stupid again.\n\u201cDo you think you could have a private conversation with Mickey, man to man I mean, and find out if anything like that is going on?\u201d\n\u201cI don\u2019t think he would tell me, even if it was.\u201d\n\u201cYou could use your charm on him and draw him out. He loves to talk about himself.\u201d\n\u201cI don\u2019t think I have any charm,\u201d I said.\n\u201cInvite him to go have a hamburger with you on Sunday evening and get him to talk. Once he starts talking, he\u2019ll tell you everything.\u201d\n\u201cHe\u2019d think I was making sexual advances. Asking him out on a date.\u201d\nShe laughed. \u201cYou say the funniest things,\u201d she said.\n\u201cI wasn\u2019t trying to be funny.\u201d\n\u201cI\u2019d make it worth your while.\u201d\n\u201cI would pay you for any valuable information. That\u2019s how important it is to me.\u201d\n\u201cI couldn\u2019t take your money,\u201d I said.\n\u201cIt\u2019s very warm in here,\u201d she said, putting her palm against her forehead as if checking for a fever. \u201cI\u2019m sorry. I\u2019m not feeling well at all.\u201d\nI was just about to ask her if I could get her a Coke or a drink of water when she began twitching all over and pitched forward onto the filthy floor. She arched her back and, with arms and legs at unnatural angles, flopped around like a fish out of water.\n\u201cCould somebody help here?\u201d I screamed, not knowing what else to do.\nA bus station employee, an old woman, came out from behind the ticket counter and knelt down beside Wanda. She put a folded-up towel under her head and pulled her legs out straight and turned her slightly off her back onto her side.\nMy bus was announced. I hated to leave Wanda on the floor like that, but she was being taken care of. With one last look, I went outside and got on the bus.\nIt was only about half full. I went all the way to the back and slouched down in the seat. I was almost ready to cry at what had happened to Wanda and my toothache was hurting worse now from gritting my teeth. I took two more of the pain pills and two Dramamine tablets to keep from being bus sick. The Dramamine had the added effect of making me sleep.\nIn spite of the lurching of the bus and the gas fumes in my nose, I went soundly asleep and after a while began dreaming about Wanda. Dreams so real they made me believe she was really there beside me.\n\u201cI\u2019m sorry you had to see me that way,\u201d she said, taking my calloused paw in her delicate, soft hand.\n\u201cNo reason to apologize,\u201d I said.\n\u201cIt\u2019s ironic, isn\u2019t it?\u201d she said.\n\u201cEverybody thinks I\u2019m so perfect and I\u2019ve had these awful epileptic seizures for as long as I can remember.\u201d\n\u201cDon\u2019t worry about it,\u201d I said. \u201cWe all have things we\u2019d like to keep hidden.\u201d\n\u201cYou won\u2019t tell anybody you saw me in such an ugly state?\u201d\n\u201cOf course I won\u2019t.\u201d\n\u201cYou\u2019re a sweet boy, Warren.\u201d\n\u201cNo, I\u2019m not,\u201d I said. \u201cI\u2019m mostly a turd.\u201d\n\u201cAny girl would be lucky to have you for a boyfriend.\u201d\nShe nuzzled against me and put her head on my shoulder and went to sleep. We slept there together in that way, side by side, until I reached my destination. I had never been so intimate with anyone before in my life.\nMy sour-faced mother picked me up at the bus stop in her ancient white Cadillac. She didn\u2019t even look at me. Just puffed on her cigarette and listened to the country music on the radio.\n\u201cI have a girlfriend,\u201d I said.\nShe looked over at me as if discovering for the first time that I was in the car with her. \u201cYou?\u201d she said.\n\u201cShe\u2019s a beauty queen. She\u2019s going to be a movie star.\u201d\n\u201cWhat would she want with you?\u201d\n\u201cShe thinks I\u2019m sweet. And funny.\u201d\n\u201cMaybe she can support you. I\u2019m pretty sure you\u2019ll never be able to support yourself.\u201d\nAll weekend long I felt a glow inside my chest when I thought of Wanda. I couldn\u2019t wait to get back to school and see her again. I\u2019d call her up on Sunday evening and ask her to go downtown and have a hamburger with me.\nSitting with me in the diner, breathing deeply of the grease-saturated air, she\u2019d reach across the table and take my hand in hers and her eyes would glisten with tears. We\u2019d laugh about her little misadventure in the bus station. I\u2019d tell her to forget about Mickey Farrington. Let the whore have him. You don\u2019t need him. You have me now.\nI could see it all happening.",

        "raw_content": "The Peter Layton library\nPast and Present now available online\nAbout Peter Layton\nSuch is Peter Layton\u2019s contribution to glass art that it is difficult to know where to start; how to condense more than half a century of boundary-pushing, skill, bravery and expertise into a few words.\nTrue to say his impact is noted by both critic and layman alike for he has been at the forefront of British studio glass since the 1970s and has contributed more than most to its promotion and burgeoning success.\nIndeed, such is Peter\u2019s commitment to the craft that he\u2019s dedicated almost as much time to nurturing others \u2013 developing the skills of the next generation by providing a truly unique environment for them to flourish. In the last 40 years scores of talented glassmakers have worked under his tutelage, producing successful collaborative projects and individual works of glass art.\nAs one of Peter\u2019s contemporaries, the renowned glass artist Louis Thompson wrote, \u2018Peter actively supports our professional development and personal practice and values the significance of this creative mix and exchange. His faith that we will make bold and courageous choices underpins the creative energy that flows through the studio, and is one of the cornerstones of the studio\u2019s philosophy which is based on mutual trust and respect.\u2019\nSculptures by Peter Layton",

        "raw_content": "The Connaught Hotel in London is a combination of elegance and world-class service\nAddress: Carlos Pl, Mayfair, London W1K 2AL, UK\nWebsite: the-connaught.co.uk\nEmail: info@the-connaught.co.uk\nIt is located at Mayfair, close enough to the city centre to be reached conveniently, as well as just far enough to give guests a break from the noise of the city.\nAt Connaught, guests find everything they need under one roof, as well as a lot of privacy and discretion with every service. The hotel is designed with classy and historical architecture, setting it apart from other modern hotels. That being said, the amenities are state-of-the-art, giving visitors the latest in luxury and comfort.\nThe hotel was started in 1851, under a different name at the time. It was made up of two buildings, and served visitors passing through London. Later, it was renamed to The Connaught, after the Duke of Connaught. Even in these early times, the hotel was renowned for being classy and reclusive, with visitors enjoying their privacy alongside excellent service. Later, the hotel was closed and taken down to build a bigger space that would accommodate more guests.\nThe reconstruction occurred throughout the first decade of the 21st century. All through, the hotel was opened in section while the rest of it was being completed. The space has seen more amenities being added, including a bar, a lounge, and swimming pool. Today, The Connaught is a five star hotel with clientele from all over the world.\nExisting over the course of three centuries has given the hotel a feel of class and maturity, and this is further enhanced by the classic and high-end art pieces that decorate the hotel walls.\nGreat food and dining facilities is at the core of every excellent hotel experience. At this hotel, the condition is no different. All foods are prepared by the finest chefs from different countries all over the world. Due to the fact that visitors come in from different countries, the menu is made up of cuisines sourced from every continent. The food preparation is overseen by several head chefs, all of them famous for their skills. To improve the experience even more, the dining areas are set to cater for different seating needs. For example, there are exclusive areas for guests who need to eat in private, and large seating spaces for huge groups. Even then, every guest feels well-catered for because the service has a personal touch.\nThe hotel has different suites for all kinds of needs. There are smaller ones to accommodate people who stay alone, and larger ones to cater for groups. On top of that, the hotel also has some the most exclusive suites in the town, where guests can access more services and tastefully decorated interiors. Even then, the quality of the rooms has not been compromised on. The interiors are decorated in the hotel colours, simple but still very elegant.\nThe furniture is beautiful, of the highest quality, and picked to fit the chic mood of the establishment.

At the Connaught, drinks and entertainment are taken to the next level; the hotel makes its own signature gin, to make the experience even more memorable. Guests can sit at the bar in the company of a beautiful woman and enjoy the classy and subdued ambience, or choose to sit in the lounges which are more private and away from all the chatter.\nThe Connaught would not be complete without amenities for the guests to spend time unwinding and relaxing. Visitors have access to the hotel swimming pool, where they can order food and drinks while resting in the sun. Swimming is also an excellent way to relieve stress and maintain good physical health. For guests who still have to work during the day, this is the perfect way to keep fit while still maintaining a busy lifestyle and getting things done.\nThe hotel also has a spa to take relaxation to the next level.

        "raw_content": "The Medieval Room\nThis room has much to offer and families can find out what it was like to live in medieval Malvern. Children can dress up as monks or peasants and all ages can have a go at building Hanley Castle or arranging medieval tiles in the right sequence.\nMalvern\u2019s Priories\nGreat Malvern Priory c1845\nMalvern did not exist at the time of the Norman Conquest 1066. A group of monks set up a small community above what is now Great Malvern and a Benedictine monastery was established by 1085. It was the daughter house of Westminster Abbey. Little Malvern Priory, built a few decades later, belonged to Worcester Cathedral. Great Malvern\u2019s first prior was Aldwyn and the renowned mathematician, Walcher of Lorraine, followed him. This prior is regarded as England\u2019s first astronomer. He introduced the lunar calendar and the use of Arabic numerals.\nTiles using a medieval design\nThe magnificent Priory Church, with its stained glass, misericords (hinged seats) and the famous wall and floor tiles, is still admired today. The Priory Church was extended in the 1400s and attracted the support of the Duke of Gloucester, later Richard III, and Henry VII who both paid for new windows.\nPriory Gatehouse before 1891\nWhen Henry VIII closed the monasteries, some local families succeeded in buying the church for \u00a320, although it took them 2 years to raise the money! Other buildings were not so fortunate and were dismantled for building stone. The Gatehouse survived, as did the Guesten Hall. This half timbered building provided accommodation for important visitors to the monastery. Later it was used as a barn until it too was demolished in 1841. It is likely that Henry VII, his wife and their sons Arthur and Henry, stayed here around the year 1500. Drawings of the Guesten Hall hang in the museum corridor, together with a number of unglazed medieval window heads.\nOne of the monks who may have studied either at Great or Little Malvern Priory was William Langland. He was the author of The Vision of Piers Plowman, the first major poem written in English. It was composed in c 1370, at least ten years before The Canterbury Tales by Chaucer. The opening scene of Piers Plowman is set on the Malvern Hills.\nThe Medieval Malvern Forest and Malvern Chase\nVisitors can also discover what life was like in the medieval Malvern Forest. William the Conqueror designated it a royal forest and probably hunted deer and wild boar here. Strict laws were introduced to protect the \u2018venison and vert\u2019, or animal and countryside. Local inhabitants faced harsh punishments for minor offences and were severely restricted in how they used the land they farmed. After the king rewarded a noble with the privilege of governing the Forest, the land became known as the Chase. King John built a small castle as a hunting base in the early 1200s. The nearby village became known as Hanley Castle.",

        "raw_content": "A large number of ethnicities have inhabited Mongolia since prehistoric times. Most of these people were nomads who, from time to time, formed confederations that rose to prominence. The first of these, the Xiongnu, were brought together to form a confederation by Modun Shanyu in 209 BC.\nIn 1206, Chinggis Khan (also known as Genghis Khan) founded the Mongol Empire, the largest empire in history. The Mongol Empire\u2019s territory extended from present-day Poland in the west to the Korean peninsula in the east, from Siberia in the north to the Arab peninsula and Vietnam in the south, covering approximately 33 million square kilometers. In 1227, after Chinggis Khan\u2019s death, the Mongol Empire was subdivided into four kingdoms. In 1260, Chinggis Khan\u2019s grandson, Kublai Khan, ascended the throne of one of the four kingdoms that encompassed present-day Mongolia and China. In 1271, Kublai Khan formally established the Yuan Dynasty. The Yuan Dynasty was the first foreign dynasty to rule all of China until it was overthrown by the Chinese Ming Dynasty in 1368.\nThe Mongol court returned to its native land, however, centuries of internal conflict, expansion and contraction brought them fall into Manchu Qing dynasty. They conquered Inner Mongolia in 1636. Outer Mongolia was submitted in 1691. For the next two hundred years Mongolia was ruled by the Qing Dynasty until 1911. Mongolia declared its independence in 1911 under the Bogd Khan, the spiritual leader of Mongolia\u2019s Tibetan Buddhism. However, the Chinese government still considered \u201cOuter Mongolia\u201d as part of it and invaded the country in 1919.\nIn 1921, People\u2019s Revolution won in Mongolia with the help of the Russian Red Army and thus Mongolia became the second socialist country in the world. After Bogd Khan\u2019s death in 1924, the Mongolian People\u2019s Republic was proclaimed and the first Constitution was adopted.\nMongolia was under a Soviet-dominated Communist regime for almost 70 years, from 1921 to 1990. In the fall of 1989 and the spring of 1990, new currents of political thought began to emerge in Mongolia, inspired by the glasnost and perestroika in the Soviet Union and the collapse of the Communist regimes in Eastern Europe. In March 1990, a democratic revolution that started with hunger strikes to overthrow the Government led to the peaceful renouncement of communism. Mongolia\u2019s renouncement of communism led to a multi-party system, a new constitution and a transition to a market economy.\nOver the past two decades, Mongolia has transformed itself from a socialist country with a planned economy into a vibrant multi-party democracy with one of the world\u2019s fastest growing economies.\nMongolia is the world\u2019s second largest landlocked country and occupies a territory of 1.56 million square kilometers. Mongolia is located in Northern Asia, bordered by Russia in the north and China in the south, east and west. Mongolia is the world\u2019s least densely populated country, with a population of more than 2.9 million people living in a vast area of 1.56 million square kilometers. Ulaanbaatar is Mongolia\u2019s capital and largest city and home to approximately 45% of the country\u2019s population.\nEthnic Mongols comprise approximately 94.9% of the population, Kazakh 5% and Turkic, Chinese and Russians make up the remaining population.\nBuddhism is major religion in Mongolia with a small number of Muslims, Christians, and Shamans reside in Mongolia.\nThe official language is Mongolian and is spoken by 90% of the population. English is quickly replacing Russian as the most popular language following Mongolian. Many Mongolians also speak Korean, Japanese, Chinese, German and other western European languages.",

Dominion has asked the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for permission to begin flowing feed gas (for testing purposes) to parts of the Cove Point LNG export facility. We are now getting close to startup at the facility, which is supposed to go online in the fourth quarter of this year. Cove Point sits along the coast of Maryland. Dominion began work on the $3.5 billion plant in 2015. When complete, the plant will liquefy and export 1.8 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) of Marcellus/Utica Shale gas to India and Japan. Currently there is only one export facility in the U.S. in operation, along the coast of Louisiana (Cheniere Energy\u2019s Sabine Pass). That one facility has fundamentally changed the economics of LNG (liquefied natural gas) here at home and around the world. Just imagine what another 1.8 Bcf/d will do!

        "raw_content": "Betsy Wolfe exemplifies leading ladies at their finest: versatile, sincere, and strong. With each role, Wolfe approaches the script from her heart and incorporates her whole self into the process. This is true for how she\u2019s made the character Jenna Hunterson her own in her current show Waitress. Wolfe\u2019s impulse towards exploration has allowed her to craft a completely unique performance, with fans lining up at the box office to see the magic happening inside the Brooks Atkinson Theatre eight nights a week. In this interview, Wolfe discusses how she found \u201cher Jenna\u201d and her place on the Great White Way.\nI caught it super early on. I grew up in a small town where there were activities all around, whether it was church or school performances, or what not. I just loved singing for as long as I could remember. My family would take us to go see shows in Los Angeles and San Francisco. That was when I was like, \u201cWait. This is a thing? I can do this?\u201d I had no idea that it was a job. And I obviously didn\u2019t care about the money aspect when I was a kid\u2014I didn\u2019t know anything. I was just like, \u201cThis is amazing!\u201d I loved the illusion of it all. It was exciting.\nI would say my first memory of seeing a show and connecting with it on a different level was Phantom of the Opera. It had gorgeous costumes, it was elaborate, it was grand. It was very magical. That was probably one of the first things I had access to as a kid. It sounds so clich\u00e9: \u201cI saw Phantom in my hometown.\u201d You know, the big touring show. They came through.\nI\u2019m always so interested when people grow up away from Broadway\u2014like you, growing up in California. What was your conception of what Broadway and the theater world was?\nWell I had no idea of what the word \u201cBroadway\u201d even meant. I didn\u2019t even understand what it was. I was just like, that\u2019s a Broadway show. That\u2019s a good show. I had no idea [Betsy laughs]. I remember watching Into the Woods. Someone gave my family\u2014because they knew I was interested in theater\u2014a VHS tape of Into the Woods. I was obsessed with it. I watched it constantly. There was one summer I think I watched it every single day. That\u2019s what I thought Broadway shows were. People get together and they\u2019re really, really good and they do theater. That\u2019s Broadway.\nWhat surprised you the most about it?\nI think that for people who aren\u2019t in it, I think it looks really, really fun. And obviously what we do on a professional level is really fun. I think the thing a lot of people forget about is that it\u2019s a really intense job. There\u2019s a lot that comes with it. There\u2019s personal life sacrifices and sometimes you\u2019re missing personal events to make sure you\u2019re at the theater. There are just a lot of things that go into it that you don\u2019t have any idea about until you\u2019re a working professional.\nYou studied at University of Cincinnati \u2013 College-Conservatory of Music. How did that training help set you up for success?\nI think it was a great transition into what is very much a business. It was nonstop training\u2026I took classes in every kind of field. I took make-up classes, I took stagecraft, I took stage management. I think when you encompass and learn all different aspects of it, you\u2019re more well rounded to know what\u2019s going on onstage. A lot of people say, \u201cI just want to be a triple threat. I just need to study acting, singing, and dancing it I want to be a triple threat.\u201d Obviously the more you know, the better equipped you\u2019re going to be. You\u2019ll have a better understanding of the whole process.\nEric Santagata, Betsy Wolfe and Brian Sears in The Boys from Syracuse at CCM\nYou\u2019re playing Jenna in Waitress now. The role requires such an output of emotional energy and you really carry the show in a way not many leading ladies get to.\nThat\u2019s so true! I\u2019m so glad you noticed that. Yes, it\u2019s very true [Betsy laughs].\nDid you have to change your lifestyle at all coming into the show in order to prepare for each performance?\nYeah. You know, it\u2019s funny. What\u2019s so crazy is I woke up today for the first time and audibly said, \u201cI am exhausted\u201d [Betsy laughs]. It is an absolute thrill to do this show. Like you said, I never leave the stage. Very rarely does a female character come up that is so well explored and fleshed out. That is such a gift. But of course, with that and the emotional journey of the show, comes making sure you are 100% healthy. With other shows I think it\u2019s easier to have maybe more of a social life. This show, for me, has taken precedent where I give 150% of myself to the show. It takes a lot to make sure you are physically well enough to perform. It\u2019s exhausting in a thrilling, thrilling way.\nOne of my favorite aspects of the show is that we get to see Jenna in the context of many different relationships. On an actor to actor level, what are some rewarding things your cast mates have offered you getting to lock in with so many of them.\nI was so fortunate that I got to come into the show with someone who was also playing Earl. Although he\u2019d done it before\u2014he\u2019d done it at A.R.T.\u2014he brought something new. Being able to rehearse with him and develop a real sense of camaraderie helped us explore what Jenna and Earl look like for us. I think that\u2019s one of the harder moments in the show. I don\u2019t take it for granted that we actually got to rehearse together. That to me was a huge gift. I think we were really able to find our own story. I think it\u2019s very different then what\u2019s been done before, but it works. It works for him and I. I\u2019m grateful I had a chance to come in with someone. Even to get to work with two different Dr. Pomatters. It\u2019s been thrilling to get to explore and play and see what makes each of them tick. Every show you learn something else. That\u2019s what I\u2019m loving about this journey. The show just has so much to explore. I don\u2019t know if I\u2019ll ever stop exploring.\nBetsy Wolfe in character as her Waitress character Jenna Hunterson\nIt\u2019s usually just making sure that I get up earlier\u2014especially on a two show day. For me, so much of singing is speaking quite a bit and making sure I warm up properly. The best way to do that is waking up and talking. I don\u2019t eat too much before two show days just because the last thing you want is a full stomach. I\u2019m pretty chill. I\u2019ll warm up in my dressing room a little bit, but other than that I don\u2019t have some crazy routine [Betsy laughs].\nYou know, I\u2019ve been getting this question a lot lately. And it\u2019s not for lack of creativity that I honestly think the same thing. The more I say it and the more I talk about it, it really resonates as something I could have told my 18 year old self. That is, just stop emulating other people and just find the things that make you joyous. Find the things that make you excited. You\u2019re going to think that there are rules. If you could throw out the boundaries of \u201cthis is what this role should look like\u201d or \u201cthis is how you do this\u201d or \u201cthis is what being broken and rejected looks like, so I have to do this.\u201d I think the more we can strip away those conventional rules that we\u2019ve somehow set for ourselves, the more exciting theater will be, the more we\u2019ll bring to it, the more original we\u2019ll be. I think that starts with young kids just deciding to be themselves.\u2666\nGet your tickets to see Betsy Wolfe starring in Waitress on Broadway!\nPosted in Broadway and tagged Betsy Wolfe, CCM, College-Conservatory of Music, Falsettos, Jenna Hunterson, University of Cincinnati \u2013 College-Conservatory of Music, Waitress, Waitress the Musical.

        "raw_content": "CLIENT ALERTS Pharmacy Law News and Updates\nThe Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice has approved the proposed Cigna-Express Scripts merger, clearing a significant obstacle to Cigna's acquisition of ESI, the last stand-alone major PBM. If the merger is completed as is anticipated, the combined company would be one the largest healthcare conglomerates in the market.\nIndependent pharmacy associations, among others, had urged the DOJ to block the merger, citing long-held concerns about the harm to consumers that would result from increased market concentration. The DOJ nevertheless found that the merger would not pose a threat to competition in the PBM market \u2013 a conclusion that many industry experts are already regarding with skepticism. Based on the approval of Cigna-ESI merger, it is expected that the DOJ will approve the upcoming Aetna-Caremark merger as well.\nThis is the time for independent pharmacies to be actively preparing for the impact of the Cigna-ESI merger\u2014and the ensuing Aetna-Caremark merger\u2014if they have not already done so. The industry saw a marked uptick in pharmacy audit activity following the 2011 UnitedHealth-Optum merger, which also led to, a few years later, the OptumRx-Catamaran merger. Pharmacies must be vigilant regarding similar aftereffects of the insurer-PBM mergers that are expected to be finalized in the immediate future.\nIf you are in need of expert legal counsel regarding a PBM audit of your pharmacy, do not hesitate to contact our knowledgeable and experienced attorneys in our Audit Practice Group at 212-668-0200 or by email at info@mdrxlaw.com.\nMerger Mania: Exploring the Impact of ESI/Cigna an...\nHHS Echoes Importance of HIPAA Compliance for Clos...",

        "raw_content": "Established in 1958, our friendly society was originally founded for professional artists.\nToday we welcome all artists who live in the county of Meirionnydd, from the budding beginner to the more established practitioner. The only qualification required for membership is a big smile!\nAmong our early tutors and members were Sir Kyffin Williams, Karel Lek, Jonas Jones, Myfanwy Kitchin and Keeley Brazier. The tradition of quality has been maintained in more recent times with Howard Coles, Wendy Murphy and Rob Piercy as either former members or current tutors.\nRegular workshops are held with professional tutors in an encouraging atmosphere. The main focus is on painting and drawing techniques, but we do have a go at other subjects from time to time. Untutored outdoor working sessions are also held in the summer months where you will find a happy gathering dotted about the hills, along the shore or scattered on the estuary path.\nCritique sessions are held to give encouragement and support. Members bring ongoing work along, especially pieces that are proving problematic and we all chip in with our opinions. You may not have resolved your problems, but you will have had fun and gained a few hints and tips. It\u2019s always interesting to reveal how others see your work.\nWe hold annual exhibition, which is open to all members. It provides a popular, well attended window for the Society, and an opportunity to sell and to socialise.\nNew members are always warmly welcomed. If you wish to join us, please contact us through the Contact Us page.\nA list of the Officers and Executive Committee Members of the Meirionnydd Artists Society is available here.",

We have this wonderful day to show the rest of the world just what you are made of. I want you to know that you have been such a big part of my journey. I would\u2019ve given up a long time ago if it weren\u2019t for your constant badgering and nagging. Sometimes I think you and my mom should hang out more often because you would totally hit it off! You have so many things in common! Just kidding. You know I love you. I am very blessed to have a friend like you who just cares and loves me so much. See you in a bit!\nGood morning, my beautiful friend! How are you this morning? I hope that waking up today is so much better than your most wonderful dreams. I hope that sharing your morning coffee with me is so much better than drinking it alone in your kitchen apartment. Get dressed because I will be coming by and picking you up so we can have a quick cup before heading for work. Obviously, I missed you very much. You know I miss you every day anyway. See you!\nIt is a myth that you need to rise and shine to have a good start to a day. You can roll around in bed thinking about friends like me and you will still have a great start to the day. Good morning.\nWhether it is a hangover, headache or sickness, even the worst of mornings become happy and cute when I think of friends like you. I hope this message makes you happy too. Good morning.",

        "raw_content": "The evolution of a diarrhoeal viral genome\nPosted on September 19, 2012 by Post by Rebecca Gladstone, University of Southampton\nTwo billion cases of severe diarrhoea occur globally each year, representing the second leading cause of death in children under five years old, according to the World Health Organization. Diarrhoeal disease is both preventable and treatable. Devastating epidemics, outbreaks and sporadic cases of severe diarrhoea can be caused by the group B rotaviruses (RVBs). Using genomic sequencing, researchers have uncovered the evolutionary origins and diversity of human RVBs which will allow better diagnostic and disease prevention strategies to be developed.\nThe results were recently published in Journal of General Virology.\nRVBs can infect humans and a range of other mammalian and avian species which impacts negatively on the economy through human morbidity and agricultural losses. Human-specific RVB strains infect and damage cells lining the gut, which results in severe cholera-like diarrhoea that requires rehydration therapy and potentially hospitalization. The virus is contracted from sewage-contaminated water and surfaces, often in resource-poor areas.\nIn the study, faecal samples were collected from both sporadic cases and recognised outbreaks between 1995 and 2010 from four cities in western India. DNA sequencing allowed the exact genomic sequence of 13 RVB human strains to be resolved, for comparison to each another and 7 previously published human RVB genome sequences. This allowed researchers to determine how genetically diverse the virus was over time, between regions and in outbreaks of varying severity.\nThe study revealed that the RVB viral genomes showed few differences across western India regardless of whether they were from isolated cases or outbreak scenarios, throughout the 15 year period. Additionally they were found to have high similarity to human strains previously sequenced from elsewhere in South-East Asia. Evolutionary analysis revealed that the western Indian strains recently evolved from a common ancestor during the 20th century. The data suggests that RVB is circulating as a group of closely related strains in the human population and the genome is not susceptible to a high rate of mutation. This is significant as the strain similarity will help the development of an effective vaccine against RVB. Vaccines are already available for group A rotaviruses.\nA single outbreak of human RVB can affect over a million people, meaning early detection of an RVB outbreak is essential for effective epidemic control and prevention. The newly published genome data could allow better diagnostic tests to be designed that will increase detection in outbreak situations. The work may also contribute to effective RVB vaccine design in the future to prevent infections in both humans and livestock. Ultimately this will help reduce the number of deaths from diarrhoeal disease.",

Full stop. Including luck.\nThe fact that we write about it doesn't mean we play better than ordinary players at all.\nLiving in the past is a Jethro Tull album, not a smart poker strategy.\nAir power is like poker. A second-best hand is like none at all - it will cost you dough and win you nothing.\nYou're not allowed to give yourself a nickname. This holds true in life as well as in poker.\nI can never have a poker face. Anybody looking at me can tell exactly what I'm thinking.\nNo, that's poker. To win, you've gotta get damned lucky.\nIf you're playing a poker game and you look around the table and and can't tell who the sucker is, it's you.\nAs for poker, I've stayed away from that, even though when I was in Vegas for Ocean's Eleven, I would get accosted by these guys begging me to play. They just want to take my money. They see me, think \"actor\" and see some easy money.\nPeople would be surprised to know how much I learned about prayer from playing poker.\nI'm absolutely gonna win it, because I'm ruthless. I sit at the poker table and my job is to destroy people.\nI am very driven. I work really hard, whether it's acting or my charity or even poker. When I focus on something I give it my all.\nI completely take on the risk, the poker game, which being an artist means, and I'm going to try to make a film which honestly reflects what I have in my head.\nThe best part about poker is there's no down side.\nLast year people won more than one billion dollars playing poker. And casinos made twenty-seven billion just by being around those people.\nInitial feedback we got from people was that Poker could and should be a product in its own right. For us, that was definitely a case of us not seeing the forest for the trees since we are Poker nuts.\nI've been playing Texas Hold 'em and other forms of poker since I was about 12.\nWhat I know about poker, you can fit into a thimble with room left over, but I'm learning.\nThe only things I'm competitive in are backgammon and poker.\nBeing able to pit your wits against literally hundreds of other people is really exciting and ultimately the biggest single challenge for a poker player.\nMy kitty cats could rely on my poker winnings.\nYour regrets aren't what you did, but what you didn't do. So I take every opportunity.\nHe's a cocky sumbitch. That's what makes him such a great player.\nWe know what happens to people who stay in the middle of the road. They get run down.\nThe AEC scientists were so narrowly focused on arming the United States for nuclear war that they failed to perceive facts - even widely known ones - that were outside their limited field of vision.\nI don't often reread my own books, unless I am going into another in the series and need to refresh my mood when originating the concept.\nBut don't call me an actor. I'm just a worker. I am an entertainer. Don't say that what I am doing is art.\nWe did very little improvisation on camera, and once in a while we did.",

        "title": "U.S. anti-narcotics campaign in Afghanistan a big disaster - Modern Diplomacy",
        "raw_content": "U.S. anti-narcotics campaign in Afghanistan a big disaster\nThe protracted war in Afghanistan has many convoluted dimensions and needless to say the foreign invaders have failed in almost every way. Their engagement in the war-ravaged country has only wreaked havoc, brought misery to the people and emboldened insurgent groups to carry out deadly strikes across the country.\nMore than 17 years after invading the country, the U.S.-led international coalition has reluctantly conceded defeat to insurgent groups, after miserably failing in counter-terrorism efforts. Today, security situation remains volatile, government is in tatters, terrorists strike at will, and people continue to live in fear. It pretty much sums up the horrible legacy of America in Afghanistan.\nThe much-hyped rebuilding and reconstruction projects of the U.S.-led coalition have also turned into a farce. It has only contributed to destruction and devastation post-2001.\nOne area where the international partners of the Afghan government have particularly been disastrous is counter-narcotics campaign. Notwithstanding the \u2018strenuous efforts\u2019 to dissuade Afghan farmers from opium plantation, the country continues to be the world\u2019s top opium producer. Interestingly the area covered by opium fields in Afghanistan equals the total area of Mauritius.\nThe opium cultivation in Afghanistan hit a record high last year, according to a U.S. government watchdog body SIGAR, which described the counter-narcotics campaign of the U.S.-led coalition as a \u201cfailure\u201d. Pertinently, the U.S. government has splurged about $8.7 billion on its counter-narcotics campaign in the war-torn country since 2001.\nA new report by SIGAR made many interesting revelations, pointing to the farcical counter-narcotics campaign of the international community in Afghanistan. Despite billions of dollars, opium cultivation reached about 328,000 hectares (1,265 square miles) in 2017, marking an increase of 63 percent from the year before, and the highest amount recorded since 2002.\n\u201cTo put it bluntly, these numbers spell failure, and the outlook is not encouraging,\u201d John Sopko, the special inspector general, remarked in the report. \u201cThere\u2019s more opium being grown now than when we started, there\u2019s more heroin being produced than when we started, there\u2019s more heroin being exported, there are more profits from the heroin going to the Taliban and to the other terrorist groups than when we started,\u201d he later said in a TV show.\nWhat Sopko said quite unapologetically and unequivocally is what many war-mongering hawks in Washington admit in private but refuse to admit in public, because it leaves them embarrassed. They don\u2019t want the American taxpayers to know how their money is being wasted in a ludicrous campaign that is producing no results or how their money is being used to fuel insurgency or bomb Afghans.\nThe question hovering on everyone\u2019s mind is: Who benefits most from the opium cultivation and why have the counter-narcotics efforts of international community failed? It is important to note that opium is a major source of revenue for the Taliban movement. The money from the sales of opium helps fuel insurgency across the country.\nBut the Taliban is not the only group benefiting from opium business in Afghanistan. Many criminal gangs, warlords, policemen, tribal elites, government officials also profit from it. And most of them enjoy patronage of the U.S. forces in Afghanistan. So, it is also a case of the conflict of interest.\nThe opium reduction program was one of two initiatives of the U.S. government apparently designed to resurrect the country\u2019s agrarian economy. But the way it has been executed has raised more questions than answers. It has not only led to increase in opium cultivation but has fueled insurgency.\nThe U.S. forces have been carrying out airstrikes across the country to eliminate what they call \u2018Taliban drug labs\u2019. In February this year, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan John Nicholson announced that his forces were bombing these labs to weaken the economy of the insurgent group. \u201cWe are hitting the Taliban where it hurts, which is their finances,\u201d he said.\nBut he didn\u2019t explain how the American forces intended to carry out these strikes, which according to many experts put lives of farmers in danger. As Thomas Ruttig, co-director of the Afghanistan Analysts Network (AAN) told in an interview recently, these labs are not what people in the West consider labs, and they are not manned by the Taliban fighters, meaning the casualties would more often be civilians.\nThat is how imaginative America\u2019s counter-narcotics campaign in Afghanistan has been. No wonder why it has proved a big disaster.\nThe best possible, and the only, solution to the illicit opium economy in Afghanistan is the withdrawal of U.S.-led coalition forces, which is one of the main demands of insurgents to end the long-standing war. Unless the war doesn\u2019t end, the opium production and smuggling is unlikely to go down.\nIf the U.S. forces could not eradicate poppy fields or what they call \u2018Taliban drug labs\u2019 in 17 years, chances are they won\u2019t be able to do it now. Since they have admitted defeat in their longest war and failed in counter-narcotics campaign and other such farcical campaigns, it is time for the U.S.-led coalition forces to call it quits, end the drama and go home.\nRelated Topics:AfghanistanDrugsSecurityUSA\nCPEC: A Boon for Gilgit-Baltistan\nCPEC: A Tool for Stability and Prosperity",

        "raw_content": "Home > Glossary Terms > Capital adequacy\nA bank needs to have enough money on hand to cover any losses it might make if any of the groups or individuals it has lent money defaults on their loans. If it does not, it may find itself unable to cover what it owes to its depositors, and hence become insolvent.\nCentral banks do not allow commercial banks to decide for themselves how much to keep to cover the risk. Instead, they impose capital adequacy ratios (also known as solvency ratios) that set the amount of its own money a bank needs relative to its total loan portfolio.\nThe Basel Accord requires all banks to maintain primary capital equal to at least 8% of their assets (ie have a capital adequacy ratio of at least 8%). Individual central banks may require higher levels of capital adequacy in their own areas of jurisdiction.\nAlso, different kinds of banks will have different ratios. For instance, loans to small businesses tend to be defaulted more frequently than mortgages on residential property, so banks with a high level of exposure to the former may want to have a higher capital adequacy ratio, as would banks with, for example, a high exposure to derivatives.",

A put gives you the right (but not the obligation) to sell something, say a share, at a set price (the strike price) on a set date in the future.\nHow much you pay for that right is referred to as the premium, and is deducted from your profit on the sell date. Investors typically buy a put on a share if they expect the price to fall, but do not want to take the risk of actually short-selling the shares.\nWhere puts give you the right to sell at a pre-determined price, a call gives you the right (but not the obligation) to buy them. So you buy a call with a certain strike price if you expect the price of the underlying share to rise above the fixed strike price, effectively getting the shares at a discount.",

The first of these is Rogue One, written by Chris Weitz, Tony Gilroy, John Knoll, and Gary Whitta, and directed by Godzilla\u2019s Gareth Edwards. Although strictly not a part of the linear Star Wars saga, the film can be considered an immediate prequel to the original 1977 film, as it tells the story of how the Rebel Alliance took possession of the plans to destroy the original Death Star.

As a child, \u201cLittle\u201d Chiron deals with bullies, and a an abusive relationship with his crack-addicted mother, but finds a father figure in the shape of Juan, a crack dealer who takes him under his wing and shows him more love and compassion than his family. Later, as a teenager, Chiron continues to suffer an abusive home life, while simultaneously struggling to find himself as he experiences the ecstasy, pain, and beauty of falling in love while grappling with his own sexuality. The film is based on the stage play \u201cIn Moonlight Black Boys Look Blue\u201d by Tarell Alvin McCraney, and stars Trevante Rhodes, Ashton Sanders, Alex Hibbert, Janelle Mon\u00e1e, Naomie Harris, and Mahershala Ali, who appears to be the front runner for the 2016 Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.

It\u2019s a sincere, optimistic love letter to the power of dreams and the joy of romance, an homage to classic Hollywood musicals, and a celebration of art and dance and music that wears its heart on its sleeve and looks you straight in the eye as it does so. Directed by Damien Chazelle, it stars Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone as Sebastian and Mia, two struggling artists trying to make it in contemporary Los Angeles. Sebastian is a jazz pianist frustrated by his lack of opportunities and the fact that no one seems to love the music he loves any more; Mia is an aspiring actress working in a coffee shop on a studio lot whose dreams are continually crushed by an endless parade of failed auditions. A series of chance meetings between the two slowly leads to a romantic relationship, and together the pair seeks to find a way through the perils and pitfalls of being young and creative in the City of Angels.

The government indicated at the time that it would lead to modest hikes in household electricity bills of about 1% annually. However, costs were later revised to a 7.9% annual increase over the next five years.\nThe Dalton McGuinty government has already said it is concerned about the impact of its green energy subsidies on ratepayers and that it will address the issue in a review of the program that it launched recently.\nThe auditor general's annual report will likely be used as ammunition by opponents of Ontario's minority Liberal government. McGuinty has championed green power , arguing that developing solar and wind projects will create jobs and build expertise in a growing sector. But opposition politicians have complained about rising electricity costs.",

The picking up season started almost two weeks later.\nThis year\u2019s extended winter concerned farmers about the potential effects on their berry crops. Abbott Farms manager Michael Blair said the cold had an impact on the strawberries this year.\n\u201cEverything was not growing as fast as it should be,\u201d Blair said. \u201cAs a result, the berries are a little smaller this season.\u201d\nUsually, the CNY\u2019s strawberry season starts late in May or early June. This means the production is about two weeks delayed.\nAccording to Blair, Central New York didn\u2019t experience any big freezes, which means there was no major crop losses.\n\u201cThe strawberries\u2019 quality is right were we expected to be,\u201d Blair said. \u201cThere are plenty of fruit to be picked.\u201d\nAlthough cold is not an issue anymore, weather is still a big concern for the farmers. Rain can still harm the fresh and ready-to-be-picked strawberries.\nAs we are not expecting big quantities of rain on the next few days, the strawberry picking season tends to attract a good number of people.

The triplet/+ birth rate (the number of triplets, quadruplets, quintuplets, and other higher-order multiples per 100,000 live births) soared by more than 400 percent between 1980 and 1998 (from 37.0 to 193.5 per 100,000 births) (125).

Zammitti, M.P.H., Associate Service Fellow and Lead Author on \u201cChanges in Characteristics of Chronically Uninsured Adults: Early Release of Estimates From the National Health Interview Survey, 2010\u2013September 2016.\u201d\nQ: What do you mean by the \u201cchronically uninsured?\u201d\nEZ: For the purposes of this report, persons were defined as chronically uninsured if they were uninsured at the time of interview and had lacked coverage for more than 1 year.\nQ: What groups are more likely to be chronically uninsured?\nEZ: We have to be careful about how we speak about the results of this report. The focus of this report is the population who are chronically uninsured. Therefore it does not address which groups are more likely to be chronically uninsured. Among the chronically uninsured, certain groups are larger than others. In the first 9 months of 2016, the proportion of chronically uninsured adults who lived in the South was larger than the proportion who lived in the Northeast, Midwest, or West regions. The proportion who were aged 45-64 was larger than the proportion who were aged 18-25, 26-34, and 35-44. The proportion who were Hispanic was larger than the proportion who were non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic black, non-Hispanic Asian, and non-Hispanic other race. The proportion who rated their health as excellent or very good was larger than the proportion who rated their health as either good or fair or poor. A major focus of this report is how these proportions have changed since 2010.\nQ: How many of the chronically uninsured are younger people who in many cases are healthy vs. older people who are much more likely to need insurance?\nEZ: In the first 9 months of 2016, we estimate that 16% of chronically uninsured adults aged 18-64 were aged 18-25, 25.2% were aged 26-34, 26.8% were aged 35-44, and 32% were aged 45-64. Since 2010, the proportion of chronically uninsured adults who were aged 18-25 has decreased, and the proportion who were aged 35-44 and 45-64 increased. For this report, we did not disaggregate health status by age.\nQ: Are there more chronically uninsured people in states that did not expand Medicaid?\nEZ: We did not look at the chronically uninsured population stratified by state Medicaid expansion status for this report. However, we do look at the percent who are uninsured at the time of interview, which includes both chronically and short-term uninsured, by state Medicaid expansion status in our quarterly Health Insurance Early Release report. The percentage who are uninsured is higher in states which have not expanded Medicaid, compared with states which have expanded Medicaid.\nQ: What in this new analysis did you find most interesting?\nEZ: The first figure in our report shows that since 2010, the percentage of adults aged 18-64 who are chronically uninsured has been cut by more than half from 16.8% in 2010 to 7.6% in the first 9 months of 2016.\nQ: When will you have full-year numbers available for 2016?\nEZ: Full year 2016 Early Release data will be available on May 17th, 2017 through the Research Data Centers. That\u2019s also when the next Health Insurance Early Release report will come out. Full year final data are expected to be released at the end of June 2017, six months after the completion of data collection.\nQ: What do you make of the finding that the percent of chronically uninsured who are unemployed has been dropping while the percent who are employed has been increasing?\nEZ: We don\u2019t propose potential explanations for the results of this report, that\u2019s outside of the scope of our work, but we did see a decrease in the proportion of chronically uninsured adults aged 18-64 who were unemployed from 16.3% in 2010 to 10.1% in the first 9 months of 2016, with a corresponding increase in the proportion who were employed during this time period.\nQ: Anything else you feel is noteworthy about your study?\nEZ: lthough the majority of chronically uninsured adults rate their health as excellent or very good, this proportion has not changed significantly from 2010 to the first 9 months of 2016. This means that the chronically uninsured population aged 18-64 is not more or less healthy (according to their self-rated responses) in the first 9 months of 2016 than in 2010.",

If you are among them, think about this: Here is a guy suffering from chemical addiction, which is as much a disease as cancer. What if, instead of imposing a lifetime of bashing for a terrible mistake when he was 18, we had somehow been able to help David get treatment for his addiction? Ask any recovering addict: Treatment and recovery will free you from fear and vastly improve your decision-making ability.\nPART VII: Tears of Joy for a Six-Year Sentence\nWe were both writing desperate letters and just crossing our fingers that no matter what the judge gave him as far as prison time, that they would kill the lifetime probation, which very rarely happens. In that state, once they get you, they won\u2019t let go.\nHis lawyer worked very hard and somehow, miraculously, David wound up with six years for cutting the bracelet, to run consecutively after two-and-a-half years for each failure to register (FTR) charge. The FTR charges run concurrently. (They charged him once for FTR for not giving notification he was moving, and a second charge for not getting an ID with an address). He had multiple lifetime probations on the table, and the judge knocked them all off!! Which had me in tears. Which is pretty messed up.\nHe gets all that time (and three years standard probation for the drug charges), but I was crying tears of joy that my husband ONLY has to spend six more years in prison.\nHis parole date as of now is 10/26/2020, and his standard probation will end on our daughter\u2019s 10th birthday. We were both ecstatic that the lifetime probation nightmare is over, but because we have dealt with this, are just waiting to see what other BS we will still have to deal with when he gets out. He will always be on the registry, because that state registers every former sex-offender for life.\nSo by the time this is said and done, my husband will be 40 and spent about half his life in prison for this. He missed the birth of our first child because he was afraid of being arrested for not having an updated ID.\nIn addition, I watched my dad die a slow death in a nursing home without the support of my husband. In the course of events dealing with the nursing home, I discovered that an SO is not allowed to be a guardian, so if I ever find myself in the same position as my dad, my own husband will not be allowed to be named my guardian. It might be some stranger, as was the case with my dad for other reasons, and that didn\u2019t go well at all. My dad died on July 7, 2014, and I didn\u2019t have my husband for that either. All because of fear and the registry and how it destroys. My daughter and I are absolutely collateral damage of the registry, and I will tell our story to whoever will listen, because this bullshit has got to end.\nRecently, my husband called to tell me that he was told by the warden that because they have nowhere else to put him, they are moving him to the Special Management Unit (SMU), where he was nearly murdered in 2006. David already has panic attacks (and I believe PTSD from prison and things that happened in his life as a kid), and for them to want to put him back in a place he was almost murdered is astounding.\nAn inmate with the same last name as David was murdered in there. He was gutted and had his face bashed in. The next day, a corrections officer asked David for his lotto numbers and told him, \u201cYou should be pushing up daisies right now.\u201d\nAside from him almost being killed there, David\u2019s victim\u2019s father also worked there at the time, and he might still, I don\u2019t know for sure. I don\u2019t understand how the hell that isn\u2019t a conflict of interest.\nIf David is moved to SMU, it will be six years of no-contact visits, and our 2-year-old daughter and I will only be able to see him through glass.\n\u2190 REFUGEES USA: Blatant Insanity, Courtesy of the PO\nMinnesota Incurs Millions of Dollars in Legal Costs; Misguided Sex-Offender Policies Partly to Blame \u2192",

        "raw_content": "The Cayuga Nature Center was originally the Cayuga Preventorium. When Tuberculosis (TB) was rampant in the country, it was believed that the disease could be prevented if children exposed to TB could be placed in camps with plenty of good fresh air. In 1914, the Preventorium was located on the east side of the lake at Esty's Point, housing youngsters during the summer months.\nBy the 1930s, TB was no longer as big a threat, and the Preventorium was used to sponsor a series of cardiac clinics. Mr. and Mrs. Ernest T. Paine gave 75 acres of land on the west side of the lake to be used to serve children recuperating from cardiac and other debilitating diseases, and the Works Progress Administration completed the building project in 1939. With the onset of World War II, however, the camp was forced to close. In 1950, Cornell University leased the building for student housing. In later years, the building was used as a camp for children of working mothers, but remained closed for about 45 weeks of the year.\nIn the 1960s, many more camps began to open and the need for one at the Preventorium dwindled. The Board of Directors then decided to offer the facility as a conference center available year round. Conferences and small day camps covered the day to day expenses, but the building was not used to its full potential. A new direction was introduced at a workshop in Brewster, sponsored by the State Education Department, concerning Board of Cooperative Extension Services (BOCES) outdoor education programs. As a result of this conference, a program was established for providing outdoor education with BOCES using the Preventorium as a base for promoting outdoor and environmental studies.\nDue to the success of this program, BOCES, the Ithaca schools, and Onondaga Nature Centers, Inc. decided to work together, and the Preventorium opened in 1975 as a Nature Center.\nIn the 1980s our facility changed its name to the Cayuga Nature Center, offering environmental education to local school districts and the rental of its facilities for groups. In 1981, the Cayuga Nature Center was incorporated as an independent, private, non-profit educational organization.",

        "title": "#CountMeIn: The NYC Building Trades Campaign Puts It All on the Line | New Labor Forum",
        "raw_content": "Organized Labor & Worker Organizing\n#CountMeIn: The NYC Building Trades Campaign Puts It All on the Line\nFebruary 2019 David Mirtz 0 Comments collective bargaining, Labor, middle class, trade unions, unorganized workers, working class\nAn unusual but increasingly common sight on the streets of New York City, hundreds, some- times thousands of union construction workers in fluorescent green shirts with the #CountMeIn logo emblazoned across them are protesting weekly in front of the massive Hudson Yards project on the West Side of Manhattan, through all types of weather. At 27 percent,[1] New York City\u2019s construction industry is one of the most highly unionized in the country, and the construction unions have been a long-standing force in the city\u2019s labor movement. Protesting construction workers are not something new in New York City. An inflatable rat outside a construction site, an informational picket line, a citywide rally meant to get the attention of local politicians and media are regular occurrences. But at the weekly 6 a.m. #CountMeIn rallies, a new energy and outlook seems to be emerging among the city\u2019s Building Trades rank and file and their leaders. Perhaps reflecting a little New York City bravado, it can be summed up by the comments of Mike Hellstrom, assistant business manager of the Mason Tenders District Council at an August 22 #CountMeIn rally where thirty-seven Building Trades members were arrested for civil disobedience: \u201cThis is the beginning of a solidarity revolution in this country.\u201d[2]\n\u2026[A] new energy and outlook seems to be emerging among the city\u2019s Building Trades rank and file and their leaders.\nThe target of the Building Trades #CountMeIn campaign is the Related Companies and its chairman and founder Steve Ross. On top of the existing Amtrak train yards, stretching across tenth, eleventh, and twelfth avenues between thirty-fourth and thirty-second streets, at $25 billion, it is the biggest private real-estate development in U.S. history. A Project Labor Agreement (PLA) for Phase I of the project, between tenth and eleventh avenues, which is due to be completed by 2019, was signed between Related and the Building and Construction Trades Council of Greater New York (BCTC), ensuring the employment of union workers, in return for wage and other con- cessions. In 2016, after lauding the work of union labor and the Phase I PLA, Ross pledged to go \u201copen shop,\u201d hiring partially or exclusively nonunion contractors, for the upcoming Phase II, located between eleventh and twelfth avenues. It should be noted that this is also where much of the residential and green space, along with that of a public school, was agreed to with New York City as part of the overall development deal.\nThat a project of this size and scope could be completed using the \u201copen shop\u201d model could have long-term implications for New York\u2019s already struggling working families. As BCTC president Gary LaBarbera noted in a Commercial Observer op-ed on the U.S. Supreme Court\u2019s Janus ruling: \u201cUnion membership is indisputably one of America\u2019s best-proven pathways to middle-class status. Whether you\u2019re a construction worker or a government worker, anything that weakens your union representation stands as an obstacle to your hard-earned economic and social mobility.\u201d[3]\nContractors Play Hardball\nThe political climate nationally of the last thirty-plus years has favored the open shop. The establishment in the early 1970s of the Construction Users Anti-Inflation Business Roundtable, known simply as the Business Roundtable, would, according to labor historian Nelson Lichtenstein, unite corporate interests into a \u201cvanguard formation\u201d that \u201cencouraged the dramatic growth of the new, militantly anti- union Associated Builders and Contractors\u201d to take on the Building Trades unions. Along with the National Right to Work Committee they would successfully defeat the Common Situs Picketing Act in 1977 that would have significantly strengthened construction unions\u2019 jobsite power and so cleared the way for the dramatic growth of the open-shop model nationally.[4] Related\u2019s open-shop challenge in NYC is the offspring of the union-busting campaigns by the Business Roundtable from the 1970s and 1980s.\nWhile the open shop is not new to New York City, it has risen to a new level. In the spring of 2016, in a move to flex their political muscle, New York City open-shop contractors formed the New York Construction Alliance (NYCA) with the mission to \u201cdebunk the claims that nonunion workers pose more safety risks and aren\u2019t compensated or treated fairly.\u201d[5] It was a bold challenge to the city\u2019s traditionally unionized construction industry and underscores a new reality for the New York City Building Trades. Since the beginning of the twentieth century, New York City\u2019s union or closed shop construction has been governed by an agreement between the Building Trades and the Building Trades Employers Association (BTEA) informally known as the \u201cNew York Plan.\u201d The Plan was both an agreement on the part of signatory employers to use union construction labor and also provided a framework for the resolution of jurisdictional disputes between the various trades. The current rise of the open shop in the city put pressure on the historic agreement, and in 2011, the BTEA, \u201csaying it put their members at a competitive disadvantage,\u201d allowed the almost century-old New York Plan to expire at the end of that year.[6]\nWhile the open shop is not new to New York City, it has risen to a new level.\nNot renewing the New York Plan reflects a new political and economic reality in the city\u2019s construction market\u2014a fraying of the traditional relationships that have underpinned it as a union stronghold. As Laborers\u2019 Eastern Region Organizing Fund Director of Research Oona Adams explains, \u201cAs in most market sectors, power has been aggregating in the hands of fewer and fewer people.[7] Important long-time BTEA members like Tishman Construction are now a wholly owned subsidiary of AECOM, [8] a U.S.-based global engineering firm ranked\n156th on the Forbes 500 list. AECOM also owns Leeding Builders Group, a leading open-shop NYCA member. These are just a few examples. Today, rather than confronting privately owned and New York\u2013based construction firms, as in the past, NYC Building Trades are facing multinational corporate and financial interests\u2014the same forces that reshaped U.S. manufacturing and the global economy over the last fifty years with little interest in preserving the city construction market\u2019s labor-friendly traditions.\nA Race to the Bottom\u2014With Taxpayers\u2019 Money\nIn the development of its Hudson Yards project, Related benefited from a number of government-sponsored programs that generated the needed financing for the project, including the Federal EB-5 program, which grants foreign investors U.S. residency; the Hudson Yards project is the program\u2019s biggest beneficiary, raising $600 million in 2014 alone.[9] In addition, the retail, commercial, and residential space being built by Related would have been inconceivable without the extension of the number 7 subway line into the area, an approximately $1.5 billion expense for the taxpayer. The city created the Hudson Yards Infrastructure Corporation (HYIC), which as early as 2012 had made almost $3 billion in bond offerings to finance development in the Hudson Yards area.[10] A 2013 Daily News investigation found the Bloomberg administration \u201csecretly funneled more than $9 million in city property taxes to the Hudson Yards project\u2026without informing the City Council.\u201d[11] And a recent New School study uncovered an additional $1.1 billion in subsidies, raising the total to date to $5.6 billion.[12] All of this serves to underline the point made by the #CountMeIn campaign that after benefiting from generous taxpayer-shouldered policies, Related\u2019s refusal to sign a Project Labor Agreement for Phase II is just a move to squeeze more money out of hard-working New Yorkers.\nRelated\u2019s legal actions have been accompanied by attempts to squash on-the-jobsite expressions of #CountMeIn support\u2026\nWhile to date, the fight between the NYC Building Trades and Related remains unresolved, it seems to have rattled Related and its backers who have pushed back by suing the Building and Construction Trades Council and its president Gary LaBarbera personally\u2014not once, but twice, charging \u201cthuggish tactics\u201d and \u201cnumerous supervision and payroll errors.\u201d The Trades are quick to point out that it is Related and its construction manager Hudson Yards Construction LLC (HYC) that are responsible for the project\u2019s supervision. A BCTC statement read, \u201cThis complaint asks us to believe that for six years, HYC did nothing to curtail practices they believed to be corrupt \u2026If the bizarre allegations are to be believed at all, this also means that Related and HYC sat idly by while contractors were allegedly overbilling them. Yet, there is no complaint against those contractors.\u201d[13]\nRelated\u2019s legal actions have been accompanied by attempts to squash on-the-jobsite expressions of #CountMeIn support, as the BCTC statement goes on to outline, \u201cThe only use that Related or its affiliate has ever made of the grievance procedure in the parties\u2019 agreement was an attempt to (1) suppress both wages and free speech and expressive activity\u2014HYC grieved the presence of #CountMeIn material on the job, but not alleged \u2018no-show jobs\u2019\u2014and (2) force concessions from a local union on residential work,\u201d but never grieving \u201cthe alleged \u2018overpay- ment\u2019 of wages.\u201d Working at the Hudson Yards jobsite for over three years myself, my opinion is that construction workers are not so easily intim- idated. Most freely wear #CountMeIn stickers and t-shirts on the jobsite and, on one occasion, when a Related safety representative tried to give a talk, the assembled workers broke out into chants of \u201cCount Me In!\u201d He left after a few minutes without finishing his speech. Threats of firing are often met with blank stares or smart- ass comments.\n#CountMeIn\u2014Growing Diversity in the Building Trades\nThe central message of the #CountMeIn campaign is solidarity. This is not a new slogan, but coming from today\u2019s Building Trades, it is one infused with new meaning. While begun as a response to Related\u2019s Hudson Yards project, the #CountMeIn campaign has begun to connect the dots for construction workers with the broader problem of union-busting, income inequality, and human dignity. #CountMeIn is bringing forward trends already transforming the construction unions that will be crucial in winning the battle against the open shop. One of the main charges leveled against the Trades by open-shop advocates was their tradition of racial exclusivity. It is a fact that in their early days and well into the 1970s, the Trades were by and large \u201cwhites only.\u201d A glance at the city\u2019s Trades membership today shows other- wise. As documented by a 2017 Economic Policy Institute report,[14] today blacks and Hispanics make up 21.2 and 30.5 percent of the city\u2019s unionized construction workforce, respectively, and minorities overall comprise 55.1 percent. Minorities accounted for 61.8 per- cent of all New York City residents\u2019 union apprenticeships in 2014, far higher than the 36.3 percent share in 1994. Black apprentice participation roughly doubled, rising from 18.3 percent in 1994 to 35.1 percent twenty years later in 2014. Nonwhite unionized construction workers earn significantly more than their counterparts in the nonunion sector. The growing diversity of the city\u2019s construction unions over the last twenty years, as well as the economic benefits of union membership to communities of color, make the exclusivity argument against using union construction labor weaker and weaker.\n\u2026[T]oday, blacks and Hispanics make up 21.2 and 30.5 percent of the city\u2019s unionized construction workforce, respectively, and minorities overall comprise 55.1 percent.\nThe growing diversity is reflected in the #CountMeIn campaign. In an op-ed, BCTC member Bobby Bonanza wrote, \u201cConstruction workers are saying \u2018count me in\u2019 as part of the fight against corporate greed. We are demanding fair wages, benefits, and working conditions from those who develop the luxury apartments where we could never afford to live\u2026\u201d He went on to say, \u201cCountMeIn wants every worker treated with dignity and respect regard- less of race, gender, religion, ethnicity, or sexual preference. It means, \u2018I am here. I will not be silent, so recognize me as a human being because I will be counted.\u201d[15] In a show of solidarity with football players protesting police brutality touched off by former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick in 2016, at an August 22 rally in front of the NFL headquarters in mid- town Manhattan, Trades members pointed out the hypocrisy of Related Chairman Steve Ross, who is also owner of the Miami Dolphins, sit- ting on the NFL\u2019s Social and Racial Justice committee. \u201cHe\u2019s a racist, sexist union- buster,\u201d[16] Bernard Callegari of Laborers Local 79 declared, an unusual step for the usually socially conservative Trades.\nStill unresolved, the battle at Hudson Yards could prove to be an important turning point for the NYC Building Trades and the Building and Construction Trades Council. The unity of the various trades could be the decisive factor in the outcome of the Hudson Yards battles as Related is actively attempting to work around the BCTC, seeking to make deals with individual trades and locals. Most recently, a deal with the District Council of Carpenters, rumored for months, was confirmed by both parties.[17] Individual trades making deals is not unusual, but in the context of a growing open-shop environment, and efforts to maintain unity, it is certainly problematic. In fact, the #CountMeIn slogan is a challenge to the Building Trades leaders and rank-and-file members themselves to get involved and stick together. It reflects the recognition that business as usual will not be enough to turn the tide against the open shop in New York City, no matter what agreement or deals are made.\nMaintaining market share among the large commercial and residential developments, once thought safe, will require pitched battles involving the coordinated strength of all the trades\u2014 as shown by the fight with open-shop contractor Gilbane at the $1.5 billion renovation at One Wall Street and the current battle with Related.\n\u2026[T]he #CountMeIn slogan is a challenge to the Building Trades leaders and rank-and-file members themselves to get involved and stick together.\nWon or lost though, the #CountMeIn campaign has made clear that turning back the open-shop challenge in New York City will mean coming to terms with an industry and a political climate that has changed significantly over the decades. In the construction industry, recovery of market share requires organizing not only workers but also employers. As economist David Weil points out, \u201cSustainable shifts in market share require\u2026policies by unions and employers that link tools of market recovery (e.g., developing new contractors to bid in markets long abandoned by the union sector) with organizing and other core activities such as apprenticeship development.\u201d But that is only possible, at best, on a level playing field. A significant contributor to politicians of both parties, the real-estate industry, grouped in the Real Estate Board of New York (REBNY) has had a vice-like grip on New York politics for decades and uses its political influence and money to actively support policies that would make it harder to monitor wage theft, undermine prevailing wage rules, and other protections for construction workers. Whether the recent Democratic flip of the Republican-held New York State Senate, giving them control over all branches of the state government, will loosen that grip remains to be seen. However, Governor Andrew Cuomo has now come out with a number of progressive proposals, including legislation that would make the Hudson Yards project a prevailing wage jobsite. If enacted, this would be a significant victory for the #CountMeIn campaign\u2014and the city\u2019s construction workers.\n\u2026[T]he real-estate industry, grouped in the Real Estate Board of New York\u2026has had a vice-like grip on New York politics for decades\u2026\nThe perception that the Trades are an exclusive club catering only to its membership has only aided the open-shop advocates in these political battles. Articulating and championing a vision of development and a construction industry centered around the needs of all New Yorkers, not just the rich and well connected, will go far to change this view. Such a vision must put afford- ability and accessibility at the forefront, not simply as an add-on. It will also require organizing the city\u2019s growing nonunion construction market, a task Gary LaBarbera described as \u201ca top priority.\u201d That means repositioning the Trades as advocates for all construction workers, rallying its members, nonunion construction workers, and a broad cross section of New Yorkers to their side\u2014both of which the #CountMeIn campaign is putting front and center.\nDavid Mirtz is a union ironworker in New York City and a graduate of the CUNY School of Labor and Urban Studies.\n[1] Ruth Milkman and Stephanie Luce, State of the Unions 2018: A Profile of Organized Labor in New York City, New York State and the United States (New York, NY: CUNY School of Labor and Urban Studies, 2018).\n[2] Steve Wishnia, \u201c37 Arrested at #CountMeIn Sit-in on Park Avenue,\u201d LaborPress, August 23, 2018, available at http://laborpress. org/37-arrested-at-countmein-sit-in-on-park-avenue.\n[3] The Commercial Observer, July 6, 2018.\n[4] Philip Shabecoff, \u201cHouse Rejects Bill on Picketing Sites by Building Unions,\u201d New York Times, March 24, 1977, https://www.nytimes.com/1976/01/03/archives/bill-widening-picket- rights-is-vetoed.html?_r=0.\n[5] Liam La Guerre, \u201cConstruction Firms Form Group to Bust Myth of Nonunion Workers,\u201d The Commercial Observer, June 6, 2016, available at https://commercialobserver.com/2016/06/ construction-firms-form-group-to-bust-myths- of-nonunion-workers/.\n[6] Katherine Clarke,\u201cState of the Unions,\u201d The Real Deal, December 29, 2011, available at https://therealdeal.com/issues_articles/state-of-the-unions/.\n[7] Oona Adams, interview with author, February 15, 2017.\n[8] See http://www.leedingbuildersgroup.com/profile.php.\n[9] E.

        "raw_content": "Northrop Grumman Foundation's Earthwatch Educator Program Announces Scholarship Recipients\nLOS ANGELES, June 17, 2009 -- Northrop Grumman Foundation announced the scholarship recipients of its Earthwatch Educator Program, an innovative environmental education program for teachers across the country.\nTwenty-two educators from communities in which the company operates have been selected to participate in an Earthwatch expedition focused on climate change or oceans preservation. This is an invaluable experience intended to be transferred to the classroom and shared with students year after year.\n\"There is a growing concern regarding the number of students in the United States entering science, technology, engineering and mathematic careers,\" said Sandra Evers-Manly, president of the Northrop Grumman Foundation. \"One way to reverse that trend is to make science and math fascinating and applicable for students. We are proud to partner with Earthwatch to offer this educator program to our 2009 participants.\"\nTo accomplish that goal, the Northrop Grumman Foundation partnered with Earthwatch Institute to develop two expeditions that will provide educators with a hands-on professional development opportunity, which will ultimately impact students' math and science education and help create the next generation of environmental ambassadors.\nEleven of the teacher awardees have been assigned to an expedition that will help preserve coastal ecology in the Bahamas, while 11 others are joining an expedition that will monitor climate change at the edge of the Arctic. The Bahamas expedition teams will focus on research sites at the archipelago's southern islands of Long Island, Great Exuma and Great Inagua. The Arctic project will take teachers to Churchill, Canada, on the coast of the Hudson Bay near the geographical center of the North American continent.\nThe scholarship recipients were selected through a competitive application process. All middle school teachers from respective communities were eligible to apply. The applicant's geographic region, potential contribution to the research, and follow-up curriculum plans were all taken into consideration. Criteria used to assign educators to expeditions included interests, skills, and availability, along with project need.",

        "raw_content": "UNM Newsroom / News / Anthropology professor honored for a long life digging in Spain\nLawrence Straus works with students to unravel a prehistoric story\nCategories: Inside UNM Anthropology\nIn a world where news travels instantly and interpreted on the fly, it\u2019s hard to grasp the slow and careful work of archeologists. Lawrence Straus, UNM Leslie Spier Distinguished Professor of Anthropology, has spent more than 40 years painstakingly excavating archeological sites in Spain, most recently at El Mir\u00f3n cave in Santander province in northern Spain.\nHe was honored over the summer for a life of commitment to understanding how the earliest humans in Spain survived near the end of the last great ice age 19,000 years ago. The homenaje was hosted by the Sociedad de Amigos de las Cuevas del Castillo in Puenta Viesgo, Cantabria.\nIt was formal recognition that Straus, one of the last members of a generation of anthropologists connected with the University of Chicago who have worked in Spain over the last 50 or so years, has made great contributions to the prehistoric record of humans on the Iberian Peninsula.\nLawrence Straus at homenaje hosted by the Sociedad de Amigos de las Cuevas del Castillo in Puenta Viesgo, Cantabria.\nStraus spent the summer in Spain working with students and his long-time collaborator Manuel Gonz\u00e1lez Morales, director of the Prehistoric Research Institute. They completed their excavation activities at El Mir\u00f3n and are now writing a monograph to report on the findings of a large, international, interdisciplinary team of specialists who are studying the late last ice age human burial at El Mir\u00f3n.\nIn 2011, Straus and his students discovered a Magdalenian burial in a protected section of El Mir\u00f3n near the rear of the cave. The remains of a woman were stained with red ocher and she was buried behind a large block of stone that had fallen from the roof of the cave. Engravings on the stone Straus and his colleagues think were related to the burial.\n\u201cWhat is surprising is the very good representations of the very small and numerous hand and foot bones,\u201d Straus said.\u201cThis suggests that she was buried here, decomposed here and her bones were stained here. At some point they removed the big bones for display or some other ritual somewhere else. We\u2019ll never know. It\u2019s a very odd burial, clearly unusual in the context of the time.\u201d\nThe archeologists call her the \u2018Red Lady.\u2019 It is the only nearly intact burial from the Magdalenian period ever found on the Iberian Peninsula. Straus says many individual human bones have been found from the period, but they are scattered scraps. Her bones have been removed from the cave and they are trying to understand whether objects found near the skeleton were grave offerings and how they might have been associated with the red lady.\nUNM graduate student Lisa Fontes working in Spain\nUNM Graduate student Lisa Fontes remains in Spain where she is continuing her graduate research. \u201cLisa is studying the stone tool economy that the Red Lady of El Mir\u00f3n or her relatives would have participated in,\u201d Straus said. Fontes\u2019 dissertation work is funded by the National Science Foundation.\nA graduate student from Germany is studying the burial itself under the mentorship of a former Straus student, Anna Belin Marin of the University of Cantabria.\nStraus is working with physical anthropologists who will study the Red Lady\u2019s teeth to determine what she ate. Feeding that research is Straus' translation of work by another anthropologist who studies pollen from the Magdalenian period and who has concluded that there was very little edible plant material available in the region.\nHe is gathering evidence to give context to the burial and allow some conclusions about the climatic conditions that she and her relatives faced. Some of Straus\u2019 work is funded by the Stone Age Research Fund to which individuals can contribute through the UNM Foundation.\nTags: Lawrence Straus anthrolology El Miron cave research",

The exhibit will open on September 11 and run through January 3, 2016.\nEmbodying Enlightenment: Buddhist Art of the Himalayas explores the rich history of Buddhist art from Tibet, Nepal, China, and India, and how trade and travel fostered the artistic tradition that continues today.\nSome of the works include a copper alloy twelfth-century Tibetan statue of Padmapani Lokeshvara, the lotus bearer; a fifteenth-century Tibetan painting of Mahakala, a protector deity; and a 2008 print of a painting of the fourteenth Dalai Lama by contemporary artist Ang Tsherin Sherpa.\nWalter Arader, curator of Embodying Enlightenment, says \u201cthe primary aim of the exhibition is to explore the rich history of Tibetan casting in a chronological fashion, progressively leading the viewer through the major stylistic developments that took place.\u201d\nEmbodying Enlightenment also serves as a platform for a number of events, including the creation of a sand mandala by Tibetan monks from the Drepung Loseling Monastery in Atlanta, which will take place September 22\u201325. Several exhibition-related lectures are planned, and Suzanne Wright, professor of Asian art, is teaching a semester-long course in conjunction with the objects featured in the exhibit.\nEmbodying Enlightenment is being organized by Walter Arader, PhD candidate in Tibetan and Himalayan studies at the University of Oxford, and by Jeff Watt, founding curator of the Rubin Museum of Art in New York City and the current director of Himalayan Art Resources.

Korea small businesses to boycott Japan goods\nSEOUL \u2013 An association of South Korea shop owners Monday urged millions of its members to boycott Japanese goods in protest at Japan\u2019s continued claim to a tiny set of islets at the heart of a decades-old dispute.\nThe Small Local Sales Alliance called on its members, including neighbourhood mini-marts, restaurants, pubs, and other stores, to stop selling Japanese goods including cigarettes, liquor and beer, its spokesman told AFP.\n\u201cWe launched the action in protest at Japan\u2019s ridiculous claim over our Dokdo islands,\u201d the spokesman said, referring to the South Korea-controlled islets in the East Sea (Sea of Japan) that are known as Takeshima in Japan.\nThe alliance claims a membership numbering in the millions.\nJapan held an annual rally last week to promote its claim to the island chain. Hundreds of people attended, including the highest-ranking Japanese government official ever dispatched to the event.\nSouth Korea, which had urged Tokyo to cancel Friday\u2019s rally, reacted angrily and hundreds of activists staged a protest outside the Japanese embassy in Seoul.\n\u201cOur group is comprised of countless smaller and close-knit neighbourhood chapters, so the impact can be significant if many agree to take part,\u201d the alliance spokesman said.\nMon-and-pop stores account for a large volume of Japanese consumer product sales, particularly cigarette brands like Mild Seven and Asahi beer.\nRelations between South Korea and Japan have regularly been strained by the territorial dispute and other contentious issues arising from Japan\u2019s 1910-45 colonial rule over the Korean peninsula.\nThe territorial row deepened last year following a surprise visit by South Korean President Lee Myung-Bak to the island chain.

        "title": "10 Tips For Adding A European Flair To Your Home D\u00e9cor | North Tech",
        "raw_content": "Are you looking to fall in love with your home all over again? This is a simple thing to do with a few updates or additions to your current decorating style. If you have recently travelled to Europe, chances are you fell in love with the style and the feel of the continent and are wanting to incorporate several European touches into your home. Adding elements of home decor from Europe is becoming more and more common in North America, and here are a few tips if you are trying to do this to your home.\nUsing a colour palette from Europe in your home will completely change the feel of the room and even the house as a whole. The simple change of paint colour can make a room feel more romantic, warm and homey without having to change everything about the house. Rich colours mixed with neutral like white or tan will spice up the look and make you feel like you are in Italy while sitting on your couch.\nAdd Wood Beams\nMany people have fallen in love with the modern, farmhouse feel of wooden beams on the ceiling. Adding this simple touch will make your home feel more rustic like the farmlands and villas of Tuscany. Adding beams will transform your home into a rustic European farmhouse and adding a few other modern decorations will have you and your guests feeling like you are in a new home altogether.\nChange the Light Fixtures\nMost people who buy new homes don\u2019t replace the light fixtures right away and usually, end up having the same builder grade lights that have always been there. Updating light fixtures will transform the look and feel of the room instantly. Purchasing light fixtures that are handmade is a big trend in Europe. Murano Island, an island off of Venice, is known for their glass light fixtures. While they are a little pricey, adding a Murano Glass fixture to your kitchen or entryway will bring the European vibes you are looking for to your home.\nChange your Windows\nMuch like the light fixtures, most people keep the builder grade windows in their homes for years and years, until it is absolutely necessary that they are replaced. In Italy, the architecture and, inevitably, the windows, are a huge statement piece to a building or a home. When it comes time to choose the windows for your new home, or updating your existing home, look for a window that includes a European design to make a statement.\nPeople are often looking for ways to cover the window and keep light from shining through. In Europe, however, they look for ways to enhance the appearance of the window or ways to make a statement themselves. The use of a fabric shade is often seen. Roman shades help give the home a Mediterranean feel and are a popular way to add the foreign flair people are looking for.\nA trend that is growing in popularity is the incorporation of ceramic tiles in the home. People are using them to update their backsplash in the kitchen, on the floors, in showers or bathtubs, and even as a visual enhancement to the floors. There are several tile shapes and patterns that originated in the Mediterranean that will update your home and help you make a statement.\nUpdate the Flooring\nOne of the most popular flooring choices is to use wooden floors throughout the house. To make your wood floors feel even more like they were taken directly out of Europe is to place them in a herringbone pattern throughout the house. This type of flooring is very welcoming to visitors and makes your house feel more sophisticated and put together.\nAdd Arches\nWell, you might not want to add them in every single entryway, but to add an Italian flair throughout your house, try adding arches. Arches used to be popular until the modern squared-off entryways took over. When done properly, your arches will make a bold statement without looking outdated or out of place.\nShow your Plumbing\nMost people want to hide their ugly plumbing under a cabinet or behind the sink, but in Europe, they have the plumbing exposed in most instances. Exposed brass plumbing is popular in Europe and will work great if you have a sink that is hanging from the wall. Don\u2019t hide the pipes and knobs, instead show off the beauty and interesting design that goes into making the water freely flow from the sink.\nDecorate with Souvenirs\nWhen you travel to different places, purchase items from around the world that can be used for home decor. These pieces will be great conversation starters and a great way to update the home. When you have pieces of different places you have visited, you are able to bring those memories and experiences to your home and enjoy them all throughout the year. Having a painting from Italy or a coffee table decoration from Germany will make your home feel more sophisticated and you will feel more like you are in Europe while sitting in your home.\nMaking your home feel more like Europe is a fun process and you don\u2019t have to break the bank while trying to achieve a new look. You will feel like you live in the country you love when you wake up feeling like you are in Italy or Greece. There are ways to update the inside of your house, as well as the outside.\nTo find out more about how we can help you add a European flair to your home, give North Tech Windows a call at 587-400-5138.",

        "raw_content": "New Renaissance Singers (NRS) is a non-audition community choir in the Bangor, Maine area. Our members come from a wide variety of backgrounds, musical experience and professions. They all share a love of music and singing.\nYou do not need any specific musical training to join NRS. Many of our members sang during their high school years and decades later were inspired to join the choir, finding it fairly easy to remember the basics of reading music.\nOur director, Molly Webster, works with music reading and singing fundamentals throughout the rehearsal season, and even members who have been singing with the group for years will leave a rehearsal having learned a bit more about singing.\nNew Renaissance Singers is a community choir and we are not affiliated with any religious organization. Our repertoire is incredibly varied and includes a mixture of sacred/secular choral works from composers such as Handel and Mozart to more contemporary works by composers like John Rutter and Moses Hogan and everything in between.\nWe have two concert/rehearsal seasons. Our Fall/Winter season begins in early September, with our main concert in early to mid December. Our Spring season begins in January and runs until April or May, with our main concert taking place in May. We also perform several concerts at area senior homes and other community events. We rehearse on Tuesday evenings from 6:30 to 8:30 at the First Congregational Church of Brewer, located at 35 Church Street in Brewer.\nAs with anything, it does take money to keep our choir running smoothly, and to enable us to continue to positively impact our community. Therefore, we have set reasonable membership dues that help us purchase music, provide rehearsal and concert venues, and employ our amazing accompanist and director. We have also established a scholarship fund which has allowed us to provide a scholarship to the Bangor Area Children\u2019s\u2019 Choir and to the Maine Summer Youth Music Program.\nDue amounts are $150 per year. Payments can be made in full, or can be broken into three separate payments of $50, usually due in September, November, and January. Members only singing for one of the two concert seasons are only asked to pay $75. Members can always speak to the Treasurer or Director if they have any trouble with the financial aspect. If you have any more questions, please contact us at nrsingers@gmail.com.",

Services are held at 10:30 a.m., with coffee and fellowship at about 11:30. Visitors are always welcome. Here is a list of the schedule and service leaders:\nOur Favorite Poetry\nParticipants are invited to read their favorite poems, plus any they may have written themselves. Everything from Walt Whitman to Robert Frost to Mary Oliver and anything else. If you\u2019re not into reading poetry, you\u2019re welcome to just come and listen. Most of the hour will be the same format as a regular service.\nConsciously and subconsciously our minds, bodies, and spirits work to get to a place of ease. This is what spirituality and religion comes down to at a basic level. It defines our search for comfort in our lives. Join us for an exploration of \u201cEase.\u201d\nThis service could easily be a follow-up to Brian\u2019s previous week\u2019s theme. The first 15 minutes will follow the regular routine. The last 45 minutes or so will include a brief introduction and then the silent meditation itself, followed by optional sharing. Even if meditation is new to you, you will find this process easy, enjoyable, and perhaps revealing.\nAmy Tedford\nThis service will explore various encounters Amy has had with animals, both wild and domestic; and offer some layman\u2019s speculations about the connections between human and animal consciousness.\nNote: The first service of the 2015-\u201916 church year will be held on Sunday, September 13.\nPhoto of summer solstice sunrise at Stonehenge via Wikimedia Commons.\n\u2190 Statement following church shooting in Charleston\nThe First Fall Service \u2013 Welcome Back! \u2192",

        "raw_content": "Opinionator | Japan Is a Model, Not a Cautionary Tale\nJapan Is a Model, Not a Cautionary Tale\nThe Great Divide is a series about inequality.\nIN the five years since the financial crisis crippled the American economy, a favorite warning of those who have urged forceful government action, myself included, has been that the United States risked entering a long period of \u201cJapanese-style malaise.\u201d Japan\u2019s two decades of anemic growth, which followed a crash in 1989, have been the quintessential cautionary tale about how not to respond to a financial crisis.\nNow, though, Japan is leading the way. The recently elected prime minister, Shinzo Abe, has embarked on a crash course of monetary easing, public works spending and promotion of entrepreneurship and foreign investment to reverse what he has called \u201ca deep loss of confidence.\u201d The new policies look to be a major boon for Japan. And what happens in Japan, which is the world\u2019s third-largest economy and was once seen as America\u2019s fiercest economic rival, will have a big impact in the United States and around the world.\nOf course, not everyone is convinced: though Japan reported a robust 3.5 percent annualized growth rate for the first quarter of this year, the stock market has dipped from a five-year high amid doubts about whether \u201cAbenomics\u201d will go far enough. But we shouldn\u2019t read anything into short-term stock fluctuations. Abenomics is, without a doubt, a huge step in the right direction.\nTo really understand why things look good for Japan requires not only looking closely at Mr. Abe\u2019s platform, but also re-examining the popular narrative of Japanese stagnation. The last two decades are hardly a one-sided story of failure. On the surface, it does look like there\u2019s been sluggish growth. In the first decade of this century, Japan\u2019s economy grew at a measly average annual rate of 0.78 percent from 2000 to 2011, compared with 1.8 percent for the United States.\nBUT Japan\u2019s slow growth does not look so bad under close examination. Any serious student of economic performance needs to look not at overall growth, but at growth related to the size of the working age population. Japan\u2019s working age population (ages 15 to 64) shrank 5.5 percent from 2001 to 2010, while the number of Americans of that age increased by 9.2 percent \u2014 so we should expect to see slower G.D.P. growth. But even before Abenomics, Japan\u2019s real economic output, per member of the labor force, grew at a faster rate over the first decade of the century than that of the United States, Germany, Britain or Australia.\nStill, Japan\u2019s growth is far lower than it was before its crisis, in 1989. From our own recent experience in America, we know the devastating effects of even a short (albeit much deeper) recession: in America, we\u2019ve had soaring inequality (with the top 1 percent securing all of the gains of the \u201crecovery,\u201d and even more income), increased joblessness, and a middle that has been falling farther and farther behind. Japan\u2019s example shows that full recovery doesn\u2019t happen on its own. Luckily for Japan, its government took steps to ensure that the extremes in inequality that happened in the United States weren\u2019t manifest there, and now is finally being proactive about its growth.\nAnd if we broaden the range of metrics we consider, we see that even after two decades of \u201cmalaise,\u201d Japan\u2019s performance is far superior to that of the United States.\nConsider, for instance, the Gini coefficient, the standard measure of inequality. Zero represents perfect equality, and 1 stands for perfect inequality. While Japan\u2019s Gini coefficient stands today at around 0.33, the number for the United States is 0.38, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. (Other data sources put the United States\u2019 level of inequality at even higher levels.) In the United States, the average income of the top 10 percent is 15.9 times that of the bottom 10 percent \u2014 compared with 10.7 times for Japan.\nThe reasons for these differences are political choices, not economic inevitability. Also according to the O.E.C.D., the Gini coefficient before taxes and transfer payments is about the same in the two countries: 0.499 for the United States, and 0.488 for Japan. But the United States does only a little to modulate its inequality, bringing it down to .38. Japan does much more, reducing the Gini coefficient to 0.33.\nTo be sure, Japan\u2019s situation is not perfect. The country needs to do better in caring for its \u201colder old,\u201d those over 75. This cohort constitutes a growing share of the world\u2019s aging population. In 2008, the O.E.C.D. estimated that 25.4 percent of Japan\u2019s \u201colder old\u201d lived in relative poverty \u2014 that is, with incomes less than half the national median \u2014 a figure only marginally better than the United States\u2019 (27.4 percent), and far above the O.E.C.D. average of 16.1 percent. While neither we nor Japan may be as rich as we once thought we were, it is unconscionable that such a large fraction of our elderly should face such hardship.\nBut if Japan has a problem with poverty among the very aged, it does much better on another front, one that has important implications for any country\u2019s future: Some 14.9 percent of Japan\u2019s children are poor, compared to a disheartening 23.1 percent of American children.\nBroader measures of performance are equally indicative. Life expectancy at birth (a good measure of the health of the economy) is a world-leading 83.6 years in Japan, versus 78.7 years for Americans. And even this data does not expose the full scope of inequality in life expectancies. It\u2019s been estimated that the longest-living 10th of Americans \u2014 who tend to be the wealthiest Americans \u2014 live almost as long as the average Japanese person. But our bottom 10th live about as long as the average person in Mexico or Argentina. The United Nations Development Program estimates that the effect of inequality on life expectancy in America is nearly twice as strong as it is in Japan.\nOther measures also show Japan\u2019s strengths. It is second-highest in the world for attainment of university education, well ahead of the United States. And even in periods of slow growth, Japan has run its economy in a way that has kept a lid on the unemployment rate. During the global financial crisis, the rate peaked at 5.5 percent; in the two decades of its malaise, it never surpassed 5.8 percent. This low unemployment is one of the reasons Japan has fared so much better than the United States.\nThose are numbers we now look on with envy. American unemployment, and an overall weak labor market, hurts those in the middle and bottom in four ways.\nFirst, those who lose their jobs obviously suffer \u2014 and in America, especially so, because until Obamacare, they overwhelmingly depended on their employers for health insurance. The combination of the loss of a job and an illness sends many Americans to the brink of bankruptcy, or over it. Second, a weak labor market means that even those who have a job are likely to see their hours cut short. The official unemployment rate hides the huge numbers of Americans who have accepted part-time work, not because that\u2019s what they wanted, but because that\u2019s all there was. But even those who are supposed to be working full time see their incomes erode when their hours are cut back. Third, with so many seeking work and not getting it, employers are under no pressure to raise wages; wages do not even keep up with inflation. Real incomes decline \u2014 and that\u2019s what\u2019s been happening to most middle-class American families. Finally, public expenditures of all sorts \u2014 so important to those in the middle and bottom \u2014 are cut back.\nWITH his three-pronged approach \u2014 structural, monetary and fiscal policies \u2014 Mr. Abe, who took office last December, has done what America should have done long ago. Though the structural policies have not been fully fleshed out, they are likely to include measures aimed at increasing labor-force participation, especially among women, and hopefully by facilitating employment for the large number of healthy elderly. Some have suggested encouraging immigration as well. These are areas in which the United States has done well in the past, and are crucial for Japan to address, for the sake of both growth and inequality.\nThough Japan has long prioritized equal access to education for women \u2014 with a result that Japanese girls score higher in science than boys, and are not as far behind boys in math as American girls are \u2014 it still has a relatively low labor-force participation rate for women (49 percent, according to the World Bank, compared with 58 percent for the United States). And an astonishingly small portion of Japanese women \u2014 7 percent, according to one estimate \u2014 occupy senior positions in management.\nAchieving better labor participation by Japan\u2019s highly educated female population is of course as much a matter of social mores and customs as it is of government policy. And while governments can have only a limited role in changing social mores, they can tilt the playing field \u2014 making it easier for woman to participate actively in the labor market through pro-family policies (like pregnancy leaves and child-care facilities) and strongly enforced antidiscrimination laws. National statistics typically assess inequality among households or families \u2014 they don\u2019t get into what happens within the family. Yet inequalities within families can be marked, and differ markedly across countries.\nOther likely reforms address the fact that Japan, like other advanced industrial countries, needs to go through some major structural transformations \u2014 moving from a manufacturing economy to a service-sector economy, and adapting to the dramatic changes in global comparative advantage, to the realities of climate change, and to the challenges of an aging population. While its powerful manufacturing sector has long showed good productivity growth, other sectors have lagged. Japan has the potential to extend its demonstrated innovativeness to the service sector.\nWith an aging population, increased efficiencies in the health care sector will be crucial; combining its manufacturing and technological prowess with new diagnostic devices is an example of an arena in which it can make global breakthroughs. Investments in research and higher education will help ensure that young Japanese have the skills and mind-set needed to succeed in globalization. Markets don\u2019t make these structural transformations easily on their own. And that\u2019s why government cutbacks in such situations are particularly foolish.\nIn fact, that is one reason the second pillar of Abenomics, its fiscal stimulus, is so important. Stimulus is needed, as we should have all learned, to increase aggregate demand. But it\u2019s also needed to complete the structural transformation. Investments in infrastructure, research and education promise high dividends. Yet just as deficit hawks blocked stronger action in the United States, critics claim that Japan, with a debt that is more than twice the size of its G.D.P., is not in a position to pursue this critical aspect of the new policies. They point to the fact that Japan\u2019s indebtedness coincides with its long period of low growth. But even here, the data tell a more nuanced story. It is not the debt that caused the slow growth, but the slow growth that caused the deficit. Growth would have been even slower had the government not stimulated the economy.\nWhat\u2019s more, the foundation of austerity advocates\u2019 logic \u2014 that high levels of debt-spending always slow growth, anywhere in the world \u2014 has been debunked. Europe is providing ever more evidence that austerity breeds austerity, which brings on recession and depression.\nThe final facet of Abenomics is its monetary policy, which reinforces stimulus with monetary stimulus. We should have learned that monetary stimulus \u2014 even strong and unprecedented actions like quantitative easing \u2014 has, at most, limited effects. Attention is focused on reversing deflation, which I believe is mainly a concern because it is a symptom of underutilization. While weakening the yen\u2019s exchange rate will make Japanese goods more competitive and thus stimulate the economy\u2019s growth, this is the reality of the international interdependence of monetary policy. It is equally true that the Federal Reserve\u2019s policy of \u201cquantitative easing\u201d weakens the dollar. We can look forward to a day when global coordination improves in this area.\nAS the pieces of evidence fall into place, the pressing issue turns out to be not whether Abenomics is a good plan, but how the United States could achieve a similarly integrated plan, and what the consequences would be if it fails. The obstacle is not economic science but, as usual, America\u2019s raging political battles. For example, despite austerity advocates\u2019 dubious intellectual foundation, we have allowed public expenditures to slip in all sorts of areas, including those necessary for ensuring a future of shared prosperity. As a result, even as some states\u2019 financial situations start to edge toward improvement, public employment is still some 500,000 lower than it was before the crisis; the decrease in jobs has occurred almost completely at the state and local level. To regain the pre-recession levels of employment and public services is a tremendous task, to say nothing of bringing them to where they would have been without a recession. (If the economy had been expanding normally, public employment would have increased significantly.) With inequality still high, the burdens are being felt, disproportionately, by our country\u2019s most vulnerable.\nA major theme of my research has been that any country pays a high price for its inequality. Societies can have higher growth and more equality \u2014 the two are not mutually exclusive. Abenomics has already laid out some policies aimed to produce both. And one hopes that as further details are worked out, that there will be more policies that promote greater gender equality in the labor market will tap into one of that country\u2019s underutilized resources. It will enhance growth, efficiency, and equality. Mr. Abe\u2019s plan also reflects an understanding that monetary policy can only go so far. One needs to have coordinated monetary, fiscal and structural policies.\nThose who see Japan\u2019s performance over the last decades as an unmitigated failure have too narrow a conception of economic success. Along many dimensions \u2014 greater income equality, longer life expectancy, lower unemployment, greater investments in children\u2019s education and health, and even greater productivity relative to the size of the labor force \u2014 Japan has done better than the United States. It may have quite a lot to teach us. If Abenomics is even half as successful as its advocates hope, it will have still more to teach us.\nThe Myth of \u2018Just Do It\u2019\nIn the Soul\u2019s Dark Night, a Digital Solace",

        "raw_content": "I\u2019m back at it after a week in New York! This week I played Dragon Age: Inquisition, Mass Effect, and Monster Hunter World.\nAfter leaving for a week and coming back to this game I\u2019m beginning to remember why I dropped off of it so hard the first time. There is a great deal to enjoy about this game, but so much of it is locked behind uninspired tedium. I also don\u2019t think the combat feels particularly good, partially because I don\u2019t really enjoy the tactical aspect but also because when I\u2019m not using the tactical mode I constantly feel like all of my teammates are dying and leaving me, a squishy, defenseless mage, to fend for myself. I understand that this likely means I\u2019m under leveled but, so far as I can ascertain, the only way to increase my level to get to the good stuff involves wading through boring, menial fetch quests. The result is that, despite many of the locales being fantastical and interesting visually, from a gameplay perspective everything feels roughly the same. It gives me little incentive to explore the rich world they crafted, which is a real bummer, because the world itself is something I would like to experience more of.\nI\u2019m going to keep chipping away at it because, well, I own it, and there\u2019s clearly something here that I engage with. We\u2019ll see if I can start enjoying it completely, because if not I will probably drop it.\nThe first Mass Effect is one of my favorite games ever made. I made the decision recently to play through the original trilogy again, partly to see how the three games hold up next to each other, how they\u2019ve aged, but partly because I have been looking for an excuse to jump back into that rich universe and experience it again.\nIt\u2019s both phenomenal and incredibly frustrating. The shooting on PC is better because of the inherent accuracy of a mouse setup, but activating your powers is delegated to the number keys at the top of your keyboard and, well, it\u2019s cumbersome at best. It\u2019s also a surprisingly punishing game, at least at the start; I constantly find myself caught off guard by a surprise encounter, having to repeat it two or three times. I did choose a Biotic-heavy character, meaning that most of my damage is dealt with abilities that I find cumbersome to use, meaning that I find myself relying on my pistol far too much.\nStill, it\u2019s a blast to play it again. There\u2019s something bare bones and janky about the game that I absolutely adore. All of the environments seem like they\u2019re sort of copy-pasted from the same basic stock, giving everything a clean and sterile feel. That sounds bad, but to me it actually adds a great deal to the atmosphere of the game. That clean, sterile feel is part of that universe, a world where mankind has recently conquered the stars.\nThe writing and acting are excellent and are the true draw of this game in my mind. The universe they created is compelling, mysterious and complex, filled with cool alien races each with their own culture and distinctive look. The Turians, a birdlike race, are sharp and mercantile, and are often security officers or higher-ups in whatever job they choose. Krogans are a militaristic and aggressive race. They come from a harsh planet, and grow up fighting each other, quick to anger. They have multiples of every organ and thick skin, meaning they\u2019re incredibly hard to kill and, before the introduction of a devastating virus that makes up an intriguing subplot, they reproduced at an alarming rate, meaning that they quickly began to dominate the galaxy. There\u2019s a rich lore to the universe and, on top of that, the characters that you encounter each have compelling and well-written motivations for coming along on the galaxy-spanning journey.\nThe PC version has a bug where the textures default to the lowest setting across the board. I had to go in and manually rewrite a part of the game\u2019s INI file so that it would load the textures properly, but it didn\u2019t fix poor Garrus\u2019 face and, upon a Google or two, I learned that that is a bug that has no fix. That coupled with the clumsyness of the combat is making me consider just buying the trilogy for Xbox 360 and playing it on my Xbox ONE. Still, it\u2019s one of the best trilogies ever made, flaws and all, and I can\u2019t wait to continue my adventure.\nHere we go. This is what I have been waiting for.\nMonster Hunter World is fantastic. I definitely can\u2019t say its for everybody, but I definitely think that everybody should try it out. Here are my thoughts about the beta, which largely reflect how I feel about the game now.\nThere is a bit of jank in the release of the game, unfortunately. Monsters clip through ledges with some regularity, and one monster, Jyuratados, who likes to dive under water, will occasionally dive under and breach through land, acting as though it were water, bubbles and all. One quest, which called for me to hunt a specific monster, bugged out and the monster kept leaving and a new one would spawn. I didn\u2019t notice it until the third time, at which point I had already wasted about an hour or so on the quest. That\u2019s time I could have spent killing monsters to upgrade my gear, dammit.\nStill, I can\u2019t recommend this game enough. The loop of hunting challenging monsters, either alone or with your friends, and then collecting their parts to make cool weapons and armor so that you can hunt even bigger and more challenging monsters, is incredibly fun and addictive. The game looks beautiful, too. It\u2019s a wonderful package, either for solo play or if you have a group of friends to play it with, and I itch to get back in as much as possible. I will get 60-100 hours of enjoyment out of this game, and with free monsters being released as DLC down the line I think this has real legs to it.\nTags: Beta, blogger, Dragon Age, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Games, Gaming, Mass Effect, Monster Hunter, Monster Hunter World, PC, Playstation, Video Games, videogamesCategories: Optimistic Weekly Update\nI\u2019m chipping away at Dragon Age Inquisition now too. I think BioWare overreacted a tiny bit to the linear criticism about Dragon Age II, haha.\nAbsolutely. It\u2019s unfortunate that their design philosophy seems to have shifted so much. I played two games from two very different times in BioWare\u2019s time line, and the difference between the two is stark. It\u2019s indicative of the public\u2019s opinion of them when they announce that they\u2019re working on a new Dragon Age and everyone goes \u201cmeh.\u201d\nI\u2019ve been playing Monster Hunter over the weekend and I\u2019m still not sure the game is for me. I enjoy the time I am spending in the game but I don\u2019t have a compulsion to go back and play unless I am being prompted by friends to do so.\nThat\u2019s totally fair. It\u2019s a very specific thing, and it\u2019s a thing that I don\u2019t think is for everybody. I\u2019m glad you have it a shot, though!\nI started Monster Hunter: World on Saturday and I have to admit, I\u2019m struggling to get into it. It\u2019s been a while since I played any of the Monster Hunter though games so I guess I\u2019m going through an adjustment period \u2013 I\u2019m going to persevere! \ud83d\ude42\nIt\u2019s a lot to take in! Have you tried multiple weapon types? They all play so differently, and I didn\u2019t find myself completely enjoying the game until I found a weapon that clicked with me.\nFunnily enough, that\u2019s exactly what a friend said to me yesterday evening \u2013 that I should try out all the weapons. I automatically went straight for the knife and shield because that\u2019s what I usually opt for when I play games. I\u2019ll make a point of testing the others while the rest of the family is out tomorrow night! \ud83d\ude09\nLet me know what you think! I think I started with the sword and shield as well. It\u2019s a great starter weapon, but it lacks some of the more interesting mechanics or the flow of other weapons. I ended up alternating between the charge blade and the insect glaive depending on the monster, and it feels great. The nice thing about this iteration of Monster Hunter specifically is that you can engage with the more complicated mechanics as much or as little as you want, and still have a good time. Of course, at higher levels of play I\u2019m sure you have to engage with all of it, but I\u2019m somewhere in the middle, and if you just want to ignore buffs and elements and just whack away at monsters, you can totally do it.\nOk\u2026 time to do this!\nPreviousOptimistic Weekly Update 1/15",

        "raw_content": "The Planning and Implementation of Manufacturing Execution System (MES) \u2013 Requirements and Derived Results for Material Management in Case Company Context\nHeikkil\u00e4, Tiia\nThe purpose of this thesis is to examine what should be taken into account from material management point of view when planning and implementing Manufacturing Execution System (MES) and how it affects industrial material management context in a case company. To reach this purpose, both theoretical and empirical aspects are observed in this study. First the study presents the theoretical background of MES implementation, then material management as part of organization is examined, and after that the framework of material management performance measurement is investigated. In the empirical part the analysis is divided into two parts; before and after MES implementation. In the first part (before MES) the material management is presented as it is organized in a case company, its challenges are reviewed and potential benefits of MES for those challenges are examined. The performance of material management is also analysed as well as the requirements and changes that need to be done in order to maximize the utilization of MES. In the second part (after MES), the planned benefits and performance are reviewed as well as the planned changes, so that it can be evaluated whatever the targets of MES are reached as planned. In addition the challenges of implementation phase and proposals for further MES development are investigated.\nThe results of the study was a coherent overview to the notions and requirements that should be noted and analysed when a company is planning to implement MES and what it means from material management point of view. First of all, attention should be paid to the specific characteristics of the industry and company requirements as well as to the relationship between a customer and solution supplier so that the implementation can be carried out successfully. The results show that the current way-of-workings needs to be analysed enough detail level and the benefits that MES could provide to be reviewed. In addition, targets need to be set so that the progress of the implementation can be reviewed and in case of need corrective actions to be made so that the targets could be reached. In this study the practical level results of MES implementation were investigated and analysed before and after the implementation from case company point of view. The results show that even though all the planned benefits of MES for efficient material management weren\u2019t reached during this study scope, the implementation was accomplished in a good manner despite the multiple challenges and the planned benefits of MES for material management are seen reachable.",

Besides their success within the financial world, they create a great confusion concerning their specific performance characteristics. Even professionals as well as private investors are confused about their delivered past returns (see e.g., Lu, Wang & Zhang 2009). Due to the rising misperception, the performance development and the constitution of an optimal holding period gain a growing interest within the scientific research field.\nWith regard to the research approach of Baule (2009), this study aims to examine the impact of long and short ETFs on the optimal portfolio selection. Therefore, daily closed prices, which are gathered from the Reuters database system, are used for the return calculations. The selected data set involves 326 trading days, which is defined by the initial launch of the investigated leveraged ETFs, and is furthermore divided into several sub-periods. Hence, both kinds of ETFs are related to the main German equity index DAX as their underlying benchmark.\nThe results provide new evidence that leveraged ETFs can be used in a successful manner within holding periods longer than one day. After controlling the impact of leveraged ETFs on the optimal portfolio it is found that both types of these investment vehicles improve the portfolio performance in a significant way which holds even for each observed long-term period. Moreover, the results are to some degree consistent with the finding of Hill and Foster (2009) and Michalik and Schubert (2009). Additionally, the study indicates that the DAX and short ETF exposures deliver the best performance during the observed holding periods.",

        "title": "Medical Marijuana Drug Policy Poll - Medical Marijuana Blog",
        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb Medical Marijuana Blog \u00bb Politics \u00bb Medical Marijuana Drug Policy Poll\nMedical Marijuana Drug Policy Poll\nMedical marijuana has strong support from voters and health organizations. The\nfederal government, however, has resisted any change to marijuana\u2019s illegal\nstatus at the federal level. The Supreme Court ruled in 2005 in Raich v.\nGonzales that the federal government can prosecute medical marijuana patients,\neven in states with compassionate use laws, and several medical marijuana\ndispensaries in California have since been subject to Drug Enforcement\nAdministration raids.\nIn the wake of the June 2005 Supreme Court decision, Congress had an opportunity\nto protect patients by passing an amendment to a Justice Department spending\nbill that would have prohibited the department from spending any money to\nundermine state medical marijuana laws. The amendment, offered for the third\nyear in a row by Rep. Maurice Hinchey (D-22nd/NY) and Rep. Dana Rohrabacher\n(R-46th/CA), did not pass but got 161 votes \u2013 more than it has ever received\nbefore. This is substantial progress given that in 1998, the U.S. House of\nRepresentatives voted 311-94 for a non-binding resolution condemning medical\nMarijuana is classified as a Schedule I substance, defined as having a high\npotential for abuse and no medicinal value. Multiple petitions for rescheduling\nmarijuana have been submitted by reform advocates over the last 30 years. The\nmost recent, submitted in 2002 by the Coalition for Rescheduling Cannabis, calls\nfor a full review of the scientific research and medical practice regarding\nmarijuana. The Food and Drug Administration has yet to respond to this petition.\nIn 1978, the federal government was forced to allow some patients access to\nmedical marijuana after a \"medical necessity\" defense was recognized in court,\ncreating the Investigational New Drug (IND) compassionate access program. The\nIND, which allowed some patients to receive medical marijuana from the\ngovernment, was closed to new patients in 1992 after it was flooded by\napplications from AIDS patients. Today, seven surviving patients still receive\nmedical marijuana from the federal government.\nThe 2005 Raich Supreme Court decision did not overturn or affect state law, and\n99% of all marijuana arrests take place at the state or local level. This means\nthat state laws afford substantial protection to medical marijuana patients.\nCurrently, laws that effectively remove state-level criminal penalties for\ngrowing and/or possessing medical marijuana are in place in Alaska, California,\nColorado, Hawaii, Maine, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode\nIsland, Vermont and Washington. Ten states, plus the District of Columbia, have\nsymbolic medical marijuana laws (laws that support medical marijuana but do not\nprovide patients with legal protection under state law).\nNew Mexico passed its medical marijuana bill in early 2007. In 1998, voters in\nthe District of Columbia approved a medical marijuana initiative by 69% but\nCongress was able to nullify the vote results because D.C. is a federal district\nand not a state.\nThirteen states have medical marijuana research laws, and only fifteen states\nhave never had a positive medical marijuana law.\nIn addition to changing state laws, medical marijuana advocates have pursued\nreform through the courts, most recently in the Raich v. Ashcroft Supreme Court\ncase. Angel Raich, a medical marijuana patient in California, sued the federal\ngovernment to stop federal raids against patients. Though she did not win the\ncase, the ruling left state medical marijuana laws intact. She is now back in\ncourt with an appeal based on a different set of arguments. The new arguments\nassert that she should be allowed to use medical marijuana because she has the\nfundamental right to avoid death and severe pain under the Fifth and Ninth\nIn 1997, Conant v. McCaffrey, a class-action lawsuit, was filed on behalf of\nphysicians and seriously ill patients against Drug Czar General Barry McCaffrey\nand other top federal officials who threatened to revoke prescription licenses\nor criminally prosecute physicians who recommend medical marijuana. In 2002, a\nthree-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously decided to\nuphold the right of doctors to recommend marijuana to their patients and of\npatients to receive that recommendation. Judge Mary Schroeder wrote the majority\nopinion, which noted that the federal government\u2019s policy of revoking doctors\u2019\nlicenses \u201cleaves\u2026no security for free discussion.\u201d A concurring opinion by Judge\nAlex Kozinski stepped even further, noting the prevailing evidence on the\nmedical usefulness of marijuana.\nMedical marijuana is one of the most widely supported issues in drug policy\nreform. Numerous published studies suggest that marijuana has medical value in\ntreating patients with serious illnesses such as AIDS, glaucoma, cancer,\nmultiple sclerosis, epilepsy, and chronic pain. In 1999, the Institute of\nMedicine, in the most comprehensive study of medical marijuana\u2019s efficacy to\ndate, concluded, \"Nausea, appetite loss, pain and anxiety . . . all can be\nmitigated by marijuana.\" Allowing patients legal access to medical marijuana has\nbeen discussed by numerous organizations, including the AIDS Action Council,\nAmerican Bar Association, American Public Health Association, California Medical\nAssociation, National Association of Attorneys General, and several state nurses\nPublic opinion is also in favor of ending the prohibition of medical marijuana.\nAccording to a 1999 Gallup poll, 73% of Americans are in favor of \"making\nmarijuana legally available for doctors to prescribe in order to reduce pain and\nsuffering.\" In a 2004 poll commissioned by AARP, 72% of Americans ages 45 and\nolder thought marijuana should be legal for medicinal purposes if recommended by\na doctor. Also, since 1996, voters in eight states plus the District of Columbia\nhave passed favorable medical marijuana ballot initiatives.\nSource: Medical\nMarijuana Drug Policy\nNext Your Tax Dollars",

In a little while the world will no longer see me, but you will see me; because I live, you also will live. On that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.\nAround the Lutheran Center (synod office) we are in \u201cpre-assembly mode.\u201d With less than a month to go before our annual Northeastern Ohio Synod gathering, June 9-10, at the John S. Knight Center in Akron, we are busy making sure that all materials are ready, reports are completed, registrations are recorded, and everyone is prepared for the day-and-a-half when we meet to worship, fellowship, and deliberate the matters of the church.\nAs one might imagine, the anxiety level is slightly higher than normal.\nI thought that holding the synod assembly a little later than in years past would reduce the stress; but as I read the summaries that my colleague bishops post after their assemblies, I experience a small sense of envy, wishing that I were already looking at this event in the rear-view mirror.\nBut there\u2019s also an advantage in holding the assembly later than usual. A couple weeks ago, I visited the Southeast Michigan Synod Assembly at which they were holding a Bishop Election. It was helpful preparation, almost like a rehearsal. I saw things that we could implement in future assemblies and came across ideas that would be useful in the years to come.\nI continue to grow in this office and as each assembly comes and goes, I learn more about leadership, the importance of goal-setting, and the necessity for teamwork. But most importantly, I develop the courage to put my concerns in God\u2019s hands.\nPutting concerns in God\u2019s hands doesn\u2019t mean that we stop doing all that we feel is essential to a fruitful assembly; but rather, that once we do all those things, we put our trust in the one who \u201cgives to all mortals life and breath and all things.\u201d [Acts 17:25]\nAnd not only that. Confiding that sometimes God gives the unexpected and spectacular. In his book, Faith Seeking, the British theologian, Denys Turner, wrote, \u201cOur whole lives are therefore lives lived in the expectation of the unexpected, we live, as Christians, in this condition of waiting, open to every possibility or demand; but we will as often as not be unprepared when it comes, for we never know when the Spirit will surprise us. We wait for the Spirit, therefore, but he always comes, for the Spirit is already in our waiting.\u201d\n\u201cPentecost\u201d by He-Qi\nAs we move further into this Easter season, we anticipate the coming of Pentecost and the promise of the Holy Spirit. It is that same Holy Spirit that empowers us to face the future, for God himself stands by our side, in fact even closer than that. God is so close that he is \u201cin\u201d us, gives us the strength to move forward in faith and enables us to be helpers to each other.\nIn this coming Sunday\u2019s Gospel reading from John, Jesus promises his disciples: \u201cI will not leave you orphaned.\u201d [John 14:18]\nWhat a comforting reassurance that is! These are words of hope for you and me.\nAs we move through the various circumstances of this imperfect and often broken world, our risen Savior assures us that we are never abandoned, forgotten or overlooked. We have a God who loves us; who gave us God\u2019s Son, Jesus, and through him has equipped us to be his disciples, to follow his word, empowering us to serve our Lord in the church, and to be a place and community where God and Jesus dwell.\nAs Paul declares in our first reading from Acts, \u201cIn him we live and move and have our being.\u201d\nCourtesy of First Lutheran Church, Lorain, OH\nSaturday morning, May 20, at 10:00 a.m., I will be with the people of God at First Lutheran Church in Lorain, to install their new pastor, the Rev. Rosalina Rivera. The service will be held at General Johnnie Wilson Middle School, 2700 Washington Ave., where they have worshipped since fire destroyed their building in August of 2014.\nMeanwhile, construction of their new building continues and should be ready for occupancy sometime in the early autumn. Please keep the people of First in your prayers as they celebrate all these joyful transitions.\nSunday, May 21, I will be with the people of God at Kountze Memorial Lutheran Church in Louisville to preach and preside at their worship service.\nI say this to all congregations I visit and it is worth repeating here. The greatest joy that I experience in my call as bishop happens when I am with the people of God at the time of worship and praise and celebration. I find these moments life giving and enriching to this ministry to which Christ has called me. I welcome your invitations.\nMay God, who made the world and everything in it, live and move and dwell within you; that you may feel the presence of God\u2019s Holy Spirit this week and always!",

        "title": "How Community Care Coordination Drove Down Avoidable ED Visits",
        "raw_content": "A Milwaukee-based community group is driving better care coordination for the Medicaid population to cut avoidable ED visits.\nSeptember 24, 2018 - The healthcare industry is grappling with issues tied to avoidable emergency department (ED) visits, a costly trend that serves as an important indicator of lacking care management. In Milwaukee, a community organization is working to reduce ED visits through better community care coordination.\n\u201cWe consider ED overutilization as two areas,\u201d said Greg Stadter, the program director of the Milwaukee Health Care Partnership (MHCP), a program geared toward coordinating care across the region. \u201cOne would non-emergent care, so utilization coming from something that's not a true emergency.\u201d\nThat avoidable ED utilization has considerable cost risks for healthcare organizations, data from AHRQ shows. Between 13 and 27 percent of ED visits could be referred to a primary care clinic, urgent care center, or retail clinic, thus saving the healthcare industry $4.4 billion annually.\n\u201cThe other would be a condition that was an emergency by the time the patient got to the ED, but it was for a chronic condition that, if treated in the weeks before by a primary care physician, wouldn't have become an emergency,\u201d Stadter added during an interview with PatientEngagementHIT.com.\nIn these cases, ED clinicians may see a need for better care management and an intervention from a primary care provider.\n\u201cWhen a patient establishes primary care and has ongoing management of their chronic conditions, there is a better outcome,\u201d Stadter explained. \u201cPatients don't get to the point where it is an emergency and need to go to the emergency room as often.\u201d\nFor underserved, Medicaid populations, getting into a primary care clinic can be challenging, Stadter noted. These patients may not know where to access a primary care provider, face transportation barriers, struggle with cultural barriers, or face a number of other factors keeping them from accessing care.\nSome community leaders have worked to fill in the gaps, creating different healthcare partnerships to help connect patients with primary care providers. But those efforts are often siloed and fragmented, sometimes introducing more problems than solutions, Stadter said.\nIn 2007, a group of other healthcare leaders in the area created the Milwaukee Health Care Partnership (MHCP) comprised of four Milwaukee health systems, five federally qualified health centers (FQHCs), and other local, community, and state health agencies.\n\u201cOur mission is to improve health care access and lower cost of care for our low-income and vulnerable population in the county,\u201d Stadter said. \u201cBack in 2007, there were growing health needs and significant disparities in our community, being a large urban area. We found that there was a lot of well-meaning work going on in silos that was really fragmented.\u201d\nREAD MORE: Care Coordination Across Provider Networks Creates Patient Trust\nThe program leaders wanted to bring together all of the individuals and groups responsible for ED referrals and primary care to see how they could improve healthcare, specifically as it pertained to preventable ED utilization among the Medicaid and uninsured populations.\nThe group developed an emergency department care coordination program that uses the ED visit to link chronic care patients with primary care physicians. And in the years since the program\u2019s inception, MHCP has connected over 50,000 chronically ill patients with a primary care provider, cutting avoidable ED utilization by 44 percent.\nLeveraging the manpower of eight adult EDs across Milwaukee county and 25 health homes, MHCP ensures chronic care patients receive a primary care referral right at the point of care. ED workers first mitigate the health issue that caused the ED visit, and then refers that patient to a primary care provider.\nThat is easier said than done, Stadter acknowledged. For one, ED clinicians and care managers are not working with an abundance of time.\n\u201cED care managers are really busy and calling clinics trying to work through the phone tree and schedule was a really time-consuming endeavor,\u201d he explained.\nREAD MORE: Care Coordination, Follow-Up May Boost Diabetes Care Outcomes\nMHCP adopted a tool, MyHealthDirect, aimed at streamlining the referral process. The technology allows care managers to pull up a \u201cmenu\u201d for patients, complete with different primary care provider options, appointment availability, and geographic location.\nThis approach puts patients at the center of healthcare decision-making, Stadter noted, because it allows patients to select a primary care provider based on patient need and preference. Those choices are broken all the way down to a clinic\u2019s cultural competence, he added. If a patient has certain cultural needs or experiences a language barrier, they are able to select a clinic that can fill those gaps.\nThe program is also staring down patient data exchange challenges. Working with disparate providers can make it hard for all clinicians to view and use patient records. But because of the referral tool\u2019s cloud software, it can plug into numerous different EHRs, Stadter added.\nAnd through WISHIN, Wisconsin\u2019s health information exchange, as well as limited use of fax machines, the MHCP is able to fill in any patient data exchange gaps that may arise.\nBeyond the logistical planning of the ED referral, care managers still face yet another important variable: patient activation in primary care.\n\u201cIf the health need is addressed in the ED, there's less motivation to go to primary care, so show rate is our number one metric we are trying to continuously improve,\u201d Stadter said. \u201cThe information that's given to the receiving clinic with the patient's contact information, that's a really good starting point there.\u201d\n\u201cThe receiving clinics all reach out to the patients beforehand,\u201d he added. \u201cThey actually call in person and say, \u2018welcome to our clinic, this is what to expect,\u2019 and do a warm welcome to the patient.\u201d\nMHCP also works to identify external barriers that keep patients from visiting a primary care clinician. Transportation barriers, for example, may pose a threat to patient show rates, but rideshare and non-emergency medical transportation programs through Wisconsin Medicaid do help.\n\u201cWhen applicable, we take advantage of those programs,\u201d Stadter said. \u201cSometimes, receiving clinics will even pay for bus vouchers out of their own pockets. There's some variability in exactly how aid looks but trying to address transportation barriers has been another really nice approach.\u201d\nImproving patient education about primary care while still in the ED has been another key strategy, Stadter explained.\n\u201cWe have some materials on the importance of establishing relationships with the primary care physician,\u201d he noted. \u201cThese provide coaching to the patient of why is it important to establish care with the primary care provider.\u201d\nMHCP\u2019s referral tool also creates patient printouts complete with bus line information, parking directions, and ways to get in touch with the primary care provider. ED care managers are in charge of reviewing these materials with patients, adding a human touch that Stadter said is also important to supporting transitions of care.\nOf course, none of these efforts would be possible if the various MHCP stakeholders did not cooperate. While different healthcare systems and health clinics have their own priorities and programs, Stadter said that focusing on what unites these players is essential.\n\u201cAt the end of the day, there's a shared mission behind it and a common goal that we want to reduce unnecessary utilization in our community,\u201d he said. \u201cWe want to decrease wait times to be seen in the ED, clear out that space, and reduce costs.\u201d\nThe organization also holds quarterly meetings between program leaders during which ED representatives and community clinics hash out issues and program hiccups. These meetings are geared toward overcoming problems as well as relationship-building and breaking down siloes.\nStadter himself also rounds with the program\u2019s eight EDs and 20 safety-net clinics to identify individual problem areas and learn about positive lessons learned. An online dashboard displaying key quality metrics helps individual organizations assess their own progress in reducing avoidable ED admissions.\nPerhaps most importantly, patients have reported the positive impacts of this program, Stadter said. Between improved access to culturally competent clinics to helping to connect patients with care options patients did not know existed, this program has made its mark on the community.\nAt the end of the day, it\u2019s the patient-centricity of allowing patients to choose from a menu of care options that has been most successful, Stadter concluded. By allowing patients to choose the care that will meet their personal, cultural, and scheduling needs, MHCP increases the likelihood that patients will follow through on accessing essential primary care.\nStrategy Joins ED, PCPs to Drive Rural Patient Access to Care",

Did you make any for the year ahead? If so, have you kept them? I took a poll at the Rotary Club of Portland\u2018s weekly meeting and was happy to see how many of my fellow Rotarians kept their hands raised for both questions.\nI\u2019m not surprised. Rotarians are a resolute bunch (our motto is \u201cService Above Self,\u201d after all). And while I don\u2019t have numbers to back it up, I\u2019m convinced Rotarians live longer and richer lives because of things that have little to do with \u201ctypical\u201d new year resolutions (e.g., food, exercise, money).\nSocial Connection & Social Integration\nAccording to psychologist Susan Pinker, author of The Village Effect: How Face-to-Face Contact Can Make Us Healthier and Happier (Vintage Canada, Reprint Edition 2015), the two main predictors of a long life are social connection and social integration.\nSocial connection means having close, in-person friendships that sustain you during good times and bad and which, according to Pinker, \u201ccreate a biological force field against disease and decline.\u201d\nSocial interaction refers to the number of people you interact with throughout the day, from coffee shop baristas to gas station attendants, cashiers, clerks, teachers, neighbors and more. The more you engage with the people around you, the happier and healthier you are.\nCommit to Relationship Building\nIt\u2019s never too late for resolutions. If your plan is to eat healthier or exercise more, start now! At the same time, commit to becoming a better connector. Prioritize real-world, face-to-face relationships and interact with people around you.\n(And join a service organization like your local Rotary Club. I highly recommend it!)",

No longer able to secure water under the California Water Board, Redwood Glen is required to build a water plant, with construction estimated at $400,000.\nAfter anticipating the cancellation of scheduled summer church camps as well as the many public school-related camping experiences hosted by the camp, it was granted temporary permission to truck in water for essential use, such trucking posing high costs for the camp.\nLearning of the camp\u2019s plight, the Pacific Coast Baptist Association has given a grant of\n$5,000 to the camp and is encouraging its members and contacts to make personal\ncontributions.

It\u2019s the expression of many younger people who find the church irrelevant to their lives and to the challenges of society, an organization in a time warp, contending against modern science, judgmental in nature, and too often identified with economic powers. The \u201cNones\u201d (those answering \u201cNone\u201d when asked which religious group they identify with) are increasing in number. The Pew Research Center reports one-fifth of the U.S. public\u2013and a third of adults under 30\u2013are religiously unaffiliated today, being the highest percentage ever recorded in their polling.\nPerhaps, rather than attempting to defend the church by rationalizing its purported failures, we should pay attention to what many Nones are saying when they claim to be \u201cspiritual,\u201d rather than religious.\u201d We might dismiss this as empty, watered-down theology, something very nebulous to base ones life on. But, if we listen more deeply to what they\u2019re saying, might we find they are confessing they sense there\u2019s something beyond the banality of day-to-day life, that there must be some determinative reality \u201cbeyond,\u201d some \u201cground\u201d of being? To be sure, such a conviction would not be the whole of the gospel, but could it be a starting point, a point of connection between an emerging population and the Divine?\nChampions of orthodox theology might be surprised to learn that Biblical faith had its origins in such a sense of mystery and wonder. The scholar, Rudolf Otto, has shown that a sense of what he calls \u201cthe holy,\u201d or the numinous, has been basic to the development of all religion. Mightn\u2019t we take the Nones\u2019 confessions of spirituality seriously and join them in celebrating the wonder in life and then allow the Holy Spirit to lead us from there? Certainly, the sciences, mathematics, law and analytical thought are indispensable in our world. But can they be the final touchstones of human life? Can they supply compassion and human relationships and a depth-of-life?\nThe concluding chapters of the book of Job and many of the psalms proclaim that the heavens \u201cdeclare the glory of God.\u201d Modern \u201cprophets,\u201d such as Rachel Carson, hold that \u201ca sense of wonder so indestructible that it would last throughout life\u201d is \u201can unfailing antidote against the boredom and disenchantments of later years, the sterile preoccupation with things that are artificial, the alienation from the sources of our strength.\u201d Isn\u2019t such wonder a \u201chint\u201d of God\u2013a \u201cdoor\u201d into a fuller embrace of a God of love? Indeed, can one who has a sense of the wonder of life and a feeling deep within of a yet-undefined spiritual dimension be \u201cfar from the kingdom of God\u201d?\nIN MEMORIAM: Paul M. Martin\nJoan Thatcher, Contributing Writer\nWe mourn the sudden death of Paul M. Martin, President and Professor of Pastoral Theology at American Baptist Seminary of the West since 2009. He died on March 23 at the age of 77 while in Denver with his wife, Agnes Martin. A former ABSW trustee, Dr. Martin was the first African-American president of ABSW and was an active member of the PCBA Board.\nDr. Martin came to Berkeley with sound credentials. He earned his B.A. degree from Pepperdine University, his Master of Divinity degree from Samuel DeWitt Proctor School of Theology in Richmond, VA, and his Doctor of Philosophy from the California Graduate School of Theology. His dissertation was entitled, \u201cA Critical Analysis of Black Theology from Slavery to Civil Rights.\u201d Dr. Martin was a life member of the Urban League, the NAACP, and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. Honoring his homiletical skills, Morehouse College named him to its Martin Luther King Jr. Distinguished Hall of Preachers.\nDuring nearly six decades as an ordained minister, he served as senior pastor for twenty-seven years at the Redeemer Presbyterian Church of Los Angeles, seventeen years at Macedonia Baptist Church in Denver, and later was the interim pastor for two years at Zion Hill Baptist Church in Los Angeles.\nDr. Martin believed in serving the community. During his tenure in Denver, Colorado, he served on the development committees for the Denver International Airport and the Stapleton International Airport. Starting in 1959, he hosted radio ministries on eight stations in Los Angeles and Denver. At the time of his death, he had once again returned to radio by hosting a Saturday morning show from Los Angeles.\nDr. Martin is survived by his wife, Agnes, and their children Anthony Martin, Robert Williams, Rosalyn Thomas, Arlene Sharp, and beloved grandchildren.\nMemorial services were held on April 16 at the Second Baptist Church of Los Angeles and April 30 at the Allen Temple Baptist Church of Oakland. A third service will be held on May 14 at Macedonia Baptist Church in Denver.\nThe Seminary has announced the establishment of the Rev. Dr. Paul M. Martin Presidential Scholarship. This will be an endowed scholarship to be awarded each year by the ABSW President, a resource that was close to Paul\u2019s heart.\n\u2190 Spring Conference: Communications in the Church BLT on Wednesday, May 11 POSTPONED \u2192",

        "raw_content": "Refounding Labour = giving more say to members\nSubmission by the Cities of London and Westminster CLP\nThe CLP resolved, following consideration of the attached documents, that the Labour Party should remain an unincorporated membership body based on dynamic electoral ward branches within existing structures.\nTo this end the CLP is working up its own 10-year Development Plan.\nBut to expand the Party's campaigning capacity and restore its electability, GC delegates were overwhelmingly of the the view that members had to have more say in the policies promoted to implement Labour Values, both at Conference and through its National Executive Committee. That is the best way to enable membership to be rebuilt and reach out into our communities.\nThis requires immediate action by Leader, current NEC/NPF, Joint Policy Committee, and the Conference Arrangements Committee - at the National Policy Forum this weekend and at Conference 2011 in Liverpool in September.\nThree principle changes are sought:\na) the decisions of the conference should be respected by the Party leadership and included, where appropriate, in our manifesto;\nb) short listing and selection of parliamentary candidates should be conducted by the local Party members without external intervention, except in emergencies;\nc) the number of seats on the Party\u2019s National Executive Committee elected by constituency members should be increased from 6 to 11 to enable members in each Labour Party region/devolved nation, to elect their own NEC representative on the basis of OMOV, subject to gender balance.\nThe NPF this weekend and Conference 2011 should be opportunities to level with the electorate setting out our achievements in government 1997-2010 now being destroyed or under threat from the Conservative-led coalition. That can only be achieved by admitting our mistakes particularly on the economy, vital to win back the electorate's confidence. But as important is the need for open and transparent debate about issues that matter to people who share our values, such as:\nA sustainable, fair economy;\nbuilding adequate affordable housing;\nproviding excellent, free at the point of access education, health and social care and\npromoting international peace, economic and social justice.\nFor the avoidance of doubt, in none of the discussions recorded within the constituency, or its branches and affiliates was any interest expressed in support of giving voting rights to supporters, primaries, an elected chair, or changing the electoral college arrangements for the Leader.\nStrong opposition was expressed about the trend towards protecting the incumbency of Labour's elected public representatives as evidenced in the CLP's submission regarding PPC selections filed separately.\nMotion for Cities of London & Westminster GC as amended by GC \u2013 22 June 2011\nThis GC believes that:\nthe review of the Party\u2019s policy-making is very timely;\nCLPs and affiliated organisations which submit a rule-change should no longer be debarred from also submitting a motion;\nMotions may be on any matter of concern to CLPs and affiliates and should not be ruled out of order on the grounds that they could have been sent elsewhere;\nPolicy documents presented to conference should be open to amendment and to being voted on in parts.\nThis GC also believes that, in order to give members increased confidence that the policies agreed will be properly taken forward:\nProposed by Westminster & City Co-operative Party.\nPimlico & St James Branch\n(Includes the wards of St James, Tachbrook and Vincent Square)\nRefounding Labour: P&SJ Submission \u2013 as amended by GC\nThe Labour Party should be doing more in the way of local community participation and presence. P&SJ are therefore strongly in favour of the retention of branch meetings, rather than all-CLP meetings. We believe that the retention of existing levels of branch autonomy allows local members to have more control over local decisions, and ensures closer grassroots connections.\nOur experience is that ensuring good speakers at branch meetings encourages greater member attendance. It is also important to share best practice and communicate with other wards who have less-successful engagement with local members.\nA current issue with Labour Party meetings is that there is too much bureaucracy, with too many points of order, hairsplitting, and pedantic procedures and abbreviations that not everyone understands.\nCampaigning on issues that impact on people\u2019s lives within a community is most effective in bring people together in a local area and reaching out to voters who have not been Labour-supporting in the past. Community-based campaigning ensures the Labour Party retains its historic role as a grassroots movement.\nNeed to focus on key local issues, such as the closure of St James\u2019 Library. Whilst the role of new media and social networking is recognized, we should not underestimate the importance of face-to-face canvassing and a doorstep/local community presence, such as the regular stall outside Tachbrook Market.\nCity of London branch submission as amended by GC 22 June 2011\nNote: This submission should not be read as having GC support as references to localism, in particular, provoked concerns about being seen to support the Conservative's Localism Bill which was not the intention. It was suggested that this was an issue that could be usefully debated more fully at Conference 2011 to clearly differentiate Labour policy from those of the Conservative-led coalition.\nAt the branch April 2011 mtg - the following points of principle were agreed:\na) The Labour Party should remain an unincorporated voluntary association with a distinct voting membership based on individuals and affiliates with rights and responsibilities\nb) Supporters were to be welcomed as volunteers assisting at elections and informing policy making, but without any voting rights\nc) Policy making should be open and transparent, but significant reforms would be required to Partnership into Power to re-establish a link between members/branches/constituencies and Annual Conference and policies forming the basis for future elections\nd) The contribution of members to be made explicit by Party spokespersons in all documents, interviews, post election comments\nIn May, following further consideration the branch agreed that debate at Conference 2011 was going to have more influence on the party's future electability than structural changes.\nThis formed the main business in June, when the branch concluded that the Labour Party should rediscover its purpose and use Conference 2011 to focus on issues that now matter to the electorate.\nDuring our discussion it was agreed that there were too many policy review groups (organised by Liam Byrne MP and the Shadow Cabinet in parallel with the Partnership into Power policy making process .) The branch considered that that approach risked obscuring vital lessons that could encourage membership retention and recruitment, and restore Labour's electability.\nFollowing extentive discussion, the Branch concluded that Conference 2011 should debate a smaller number of issues focussing on :\nA sustainable, fair economy; building adequate affordable housing; providing excellent, free at the point of access education, health and social care and promoting international peace, economic and social justice.\nThe party leadership, including all frontbench spokespersons needed to be much more effective rebutting coalition mantras about the state the economy at the time of the 2010 General Election, and the myth that public sector service provision is bad and private sector is good.\nThe branch agree that New Labour's uncritical readiness to contract with the private sector to provide both public services and infrastructure had proved to be flawed and possibly naive. It should be admitted and rectified as soon as possible. Further, the branch agreed that while it would be essential to restore a high quality public service model and stop denigrating public service staff and professionals, this did not need mean excluding the private sector. Rather it would be important to debate and establish a new consensus for such contracting/regulation consistent with Labour's fairness and localism agendas.\nLabour's achievements: investing in public service infrastructure \u2013 new under-fives facilities, schools, hospitals and transport links, social housing improvements and arts and leisure facilities should be lauded. But the means of financing them involved deceiving the public, and the political damage crystalised in the Tory mantra \u201cthe mess we inherited\u201d are in danger of blinding the electorate to the evidence of our success in their own neighbourhoods.\nIn the wake of the banking crisis, (the underlying causes of which remain largely unaddressed and must be grappled urgently) Labour did steady the economy. The Tories inherited faster growth, with debt falling more quickly, and unemployment and mortgage repossession lower than forecast. In 12 month they have squandered that with a singular obsessobsession about 'cutting public sector debt' . That has in slower growth, rapidly rising debt, and inflation, together with shaky job creation and dire unemployment prospects for the young.\nThe branch agreed that Labour's public policy challenges for debate at Conference 2011 should focus on how to achieve sustainable growth, fairmess for all from the cradle to the grave; as well as how to pay for public sector infrastructure and services whilst wanting to promote local empowerment, mutuality, and developing a new viable public service model.\nLeadership was also required to regain the initiative greening the economy, which the branch saw as a route to redirecting public sector investment into more effective technologies to meet future energy requirements without threatening the planet eg. Investment in geothermals, and other renewables rather than nuclear or fossil fuels.\nIn reaching out to and within local communities, Labour needed to enable and empower local governance reversing a centralist command and control model . This was was seen as offering real potential as a means of regaining the electorate's trust and demonstrating that Labour was learning from its mistakes in government over the previous 13 years.\nIn conclusion, the branch supported the efforts of the Party's new Leader, Ed Miliband to develop key themes for opposition: the squeezed middle, the unfortunately labelled 'British promise' (each generation's right to a better future than the last), the vital role of the state in shaping the economy and public services, and the country's place in the world\nBut we agreed that Refounding Labour had to start with what Labour stands for now and in the future, rather than any rule changes that might arise from the current consultation. Though the form of the Party's organisation and its culture would have to mirror the sort of society Labour aspires to promote and enable - locally, nationally and internationally.\nPosted at 12:08 AM in Refounding Labour | Permalink | Comments (2) | TrackBack (0)\nConference 2011 - Labour's chance to level with the electorate\nLast night my Labour Party branch (City of London) focussed discussion on how the Labour Party could rediscover its purpose and use Conference 2011 to focus on a handful of issues that now matter to the electorate.\nDuring our discussion it was agreed that there were too many policy review groups (organised by Liam Byrne MP and the Shadow Cabinet in parallel with the Partnership into Power policy making process). The branch considered that that approach risked obscuring vital lessons that could encourage membership retention and recruitment, and restore Labour's electability.\nFollowing extensive discussion, the Branch concluded that Conference 2011 should concentrate on :\nA sustainable, fair economy; building adequate affordable housing; providing excellent, free at the point of access education, health and social care, and promoting international peace, economic and social justice.\nWe thought that the party leadership, including all frontbench spokespersons, needed to be much more effective rebutting coalition mantras about the state the economy at the time of the 2010 General Election, and the myth that public sector service provision is bad and private sector is good.\nA crunch issue for us was that New Labour's uncritical readiness to contract with the private sector to provide both public services and infrastructure had proved to be flawed and possibly naive.

I haven\u2019t been inspired with any truly creative interpretations of the prompt word(s) until this round. The prompt is \u201cI Believe\u201d. And taking a look around Second Life lately, that has led me to create this image.\nLove is not a four-letter word in the sense that it is not to be taken lightly or in haste. Bandying about the term when you have barely known someone for a week is a curse upon the meaning of the word. I\u2019ve never been a believer in love at first sight. Lust? Sure? Infatuation? Maybe within an hour or so (excluding the times one might be wearing beer goggles). But to love someone you need to know what makes them who they are. You need to understand their warts and idiosyncrasies and still experience that depth of feeling only love can bring.\nLove is all of the letters of the alphabet, the words of every language, every story written across all time.\nLove is NOT as simple as a four-letter word.\nSingle Frame StoriesBlog Challenges, love, Single Frame Stories\nSingle Frame Stories: Creativity \u2013 Lessons From A Dead Poet\nImage June 14, 2013 June 14, 2013 PeepSideshow Darkward9 Comments\nSurprisingly, this week\u2019s Single Frame Stories prompt, \u201cCreativity\u201d, pretty much stumped me. I\u2019m not an artist. I take photographs and play around with processing them, but I am hopeless at creating anything from scratch. I have my own style, but it\u2019s nothing ground-breaking or heart-stopping. It\u2019s just what I do. It fills my time and it helps me relax. I just get in a zone and don\u2019t see anything else. My senses are heightened, and they are fixed on what I am doing \u2013 trying to create my interpretation of the scene I have captured. Results may vary.\nI was going to wimp out and skip this prompt. But then, ironically, I stumbled across this quote:\nSo\u2026feeling chastised by a dead poet, I intended to go into Second Life today and travel the grid, trying to find something that could tell the story of Creativity in a single shot. I was actually anxious about it, wondering what I could possibly come up with.\nAnd then, I remembered a photo I had taken at Runestone, but hadn\u2019t used in my original post. This painter\u2019s easel has been at Runestone for as long as I have been going there. And it\u2019s one of my favourite spots. I can never walk past it without grabbing a palette and putting brush to canvas, pretending to recreate the scene of the house across the water, playing at being an artist. When I opened the photo, I knew I could show in one shot how I feel when I am working to finish a picture: focused on the object, with everything else around me a blur.\nIf you want to participate in Single Frame Stories, you don\u2019t have to be a blogger. All you need to do is upload your interpretation of Creativity, in a single photo, to the Single Frame Stories Flickr group. You can open a free account there, if you don\u2019t already have one, and participate in this remarkable project. The deadline this week is Friday, so there is time to display the work at the Single Frame Stories SL10B installation. Go ahead\u2026give it a shot. You may find yourself in the zone, too, once you\u2019ve overcome your hesitation to share your creativity.\nirez.me Avatar Blogger Month, Second LIfe Destination Guide, Single Frame Stories30 posts in 30 days, Avatar Blogger Month, Blog Challenges, Second LIfe Destination Guide, Single Frame Stories",

        "raw_content": "The Tales from Ivy Hill Series\nTales from Ivy Hill \u2013 Book 3\nThe Tales from Ivy Hill series isn\u2019t for everyone. It\u2019s for those who are fans of or enjoy the regency era novels of Jane Austen, Fanny Burney, and Elizabeth Gaskell (ok, she\u2019s probably post-Regency, but, anyway). Most fans of Regency romances are likely women, and it is curious to me that although both sexes are part of romances, it is women who seem, well, obsessed with them. Just in our nature, I guess. I\u2019m not as insane at the main character in Austenland, but I\u2019ve done some Regency memorabilia shopping and have even been to the Jane Austen museum in Bath, England. Tea there was lovely.\nThis series may also not be for everyone because it is slow almost to a fault. This is also true for Regency novels written at the time, but Ivy Hill has the benefit of multiple romances to keep one\u2019s interest and doesn\u2019t go on for chapters describing scenery\u2013yes, I\u2019m looking at you, Ann Radcliffe of Udolpho. The series is also nominally Christian lit, but not heavily so; still, it might turn some readers off. That being said, I love, love, love! this series and Julie Klassen, why are there only three books?!? Where is my fainting couch? A little to the right? Ah, there we go. One of the endpapers in the last book does advertise an Ivy Hill Christmas novella coming in the future, so that\u2019s at least something.\nSo, what on earth is so great about this series? For me, the characters are all very realized and very well-rounded, and even though in real life not everyone gets a happy ending, in this book world the characters work out everything by faith, trust, honesty, and love, and the happy endings fit. It\u2019s a cheery, fantasy world where nothing super bad really happens. Also, for some of the romances it\u2019s a question of who the women will choose, so there\u2019s a little suspense in that. The men are pretty much all dreamy, which is just as they should be. The one thing I\u2019d say the series lacks is more humor, but not every author can make me laugh out loud like Fanny Burney, not even \u201cdear Jane.\u201d Tales from Ivy Hill would be a perfect book series for, say, the BBC to adapt into a TV series with several seasons\u2013I mean series, because in Britain a show season is called a series\u2013which is series-ly confusing.\nAnyway, this is Julie Klassen at the peak of her skill, and I do hope she will keep on writing.\nThis entry was posted on February 7, 2019, in Book Reviews and tagged Julie Klassen, Regency Era, Tales from Ivy Hill.\tLeave a comment\nKdrama review: Cheese in the Trap\nI have now watched Cheese in the Trap starring Park Hae Jin and Kim Go Eun twice, and I will probably watch it again at some point. Based on a popular webtoon, Cheese has multilayered characters that are fun to come back to again and again, and a college setting that is almost 1980s in feel. Like most Kdramas, it is a romance involving a rich young man and a poor young woman; the difference in this story is that the affluence of the young man is almost an aside. It is certainly a reason why many try to take advantage of him or seek favors from him, but for once the problem between him and his young woman is something entirely different: a personality disorder.\nHong Seol (Kim Go Eun) is a college student who periodically takes time off to work and earn more money, especially if she doesn\u2019t get a scholarship for the upcoming semester. However, in the first episode we quickly learn that this time Seol is thinking of taking time off specifically to avoid a sunbae (or senior) in her major. Yoo Jung (Park Hae Jin) has inexplicably gotten under her skin, and Seol is both intrigued by him and afraid of him. The reason for her very real fear only becomes completely clear by the end of the series: Yoo Jung has problems, but we, like him, are not sure they stem from himself or from the actions of those around him. It \u201ctakes two to tango\u201d as they say, but most often if a person is repeating the same problems over and over, the root issue isn\u2019t something outside of them. Cheese is largely about Yoo Jung realizing that he does actually have a problem, but it ends on a hopeful note that it is a problem that can be fixed.\nSeol is almost an afterthought in this story. It\u2019s not that she\u2019s not her own person or is sort of a blank character, but she really is largely a vehicle to showcase Yoo Jung and to mirror him. Both students are smarter than average, and both have to continually deal with people trying to ride their coattails to success. Of those who have more, much more is expected. It\u2019s frustrating, but it\u2019s true. In fact, one of Seol\u2019s business teachers points this out, and that duty Seol has is a lot more complicated than merely helping someone with their work or doing it for them\u2013the teacher says that Seol is the type of person who can help those underachievers with less smarts be at their best. Yoo Jung gets similar advice from his father, the owner of a large company, but Yoo only belatedly understands what he\u2019s been trying to say. The key, the very difficult key, for both characters to help others is for them to genuinely care about those others. Seol is mostly there, but she backtracks a bit after starting to date Yoo Jung, causing more difficulties. It is shown that by and large the other, almost insane characters, do care, but it is Seol, and especially Yoo Jung, who doesn\u2019t.\nI can\u2019t say I really understood all this the first time watching Cheese in the Trap. Some stories are simply so layered that it requires multiple views or reads to really get the message, even if it\u2019s being told or shown to you clearly. Also, this is a difficult thing to swallow: Other people, no matter how annoying they are to you, care about you. In fact, they may even be antagonizing you because they desire your love and attention. You are experiencing insane behavior and even hatred towards you, because you aren\u2019t truly caring for others. That doesn\u2019t mean that these other people don\u2019t have a responsibility to behave well on their own\u2013they do\u2013but so, so often people do awful things as a reaction to another awful thing: heartlessness. Heartlessness from those wealthier, smarter, more beautiful, more capable and blessed with gifts and talents they neither asked for nor earned. And from those people, more is expected. If they don\u2019t give you\u2013a person of no talent, no riches, no beauty, a helping hand\u2013who then will?\nLet me give an example from the story. Yoo Jung\u2019s father took in a couple of orphaned siblings when they were in elementary school. It is at first presumed that the father wanted to care for them and also thought Yoo Jung could use some siblings. This is somewhat true, however, it seems that the father actually thought that these siblings\u2013Baek In Ho and Baek In Ha\u2013could help his son turn out \u201cnormal.\u201d And by normal, he means able to care for others, to be concerned for their feelings and well being. In flashbacks we see that at the beginning Yoo Jung didn\u2019t have this problem: He did care for others and for these new siblings. But over time, perhaps because he thinks too much like his father, he became jaded and started to see everyone in his life as only people leeching off of him or trying to take advantage.\nThat in itself is not untrue. Plenty of people try to take advantage all the time. Baek In Ha (played by the amazing Lee Sung Kyung) is perhaps one of the most memorable Kdrama characters I\u2019ve encountered. She is selfish to the point of insanity, shamelessly mooching off of Yoo Jung and his father, spending money like water, and refusing to work. She is also hilarious and charming, and it\u2019s easy to see why so many people simply let her have her way. But In Ha is deeply damaged by past abandonment and abuse, as is her brother. Yoo Jung\u2019s father may have given her food, nice clothes, and a roof over her head, but he did nothing to actually help her. She acts like an entitled welfare queen because that\u2019s exactly what she is and she has never been disciplined or trained enough in order to reel herself back in to being a productive, self-reliant person. She is also sure that she will someday be abandoned. When Yoo Jung finally realizes the severe damage that he and his father have done to her by not enforcing boundaries and good behavior from a very age, nor seeking any sort of healing therapy for her, he decides the best course of action is to cut ties with her completely. This is ultimately what In Ha fears most, but it is necessary as their relationship is so, so toxic that it is making her act like a crazy person to the point that she physically harms others. After the final, clean break, we find that In Ha has given herself to another man who genuinely cares for her. Yes, she\u2019s still a spoiled rich girl, but she is tempered by love, not only from her significant other, but love from her brother and a renewed relationship with him.\nIt was very belated, but Yoo Jung realized that the best way to care for In Ha was to let her go. No more relationship of punishment and reward or \u201ccarrot and stick,\u201d which was really all they had. Early on she may have been someone he would have thought to marry, but that was shattered when he realized that In Ha and In Ho, too, were there simply to take advantage of him\u2013at least, that\u2019s what he believed. Despite her crazy ravings, In Ha cares for Yoo Jung. She often says she understands him, and there\u2019s no reason to doubt that she does, but her damaged self too often thinks this means he owes her something. Indeed, he does owe her something, but it\u2019s something he may never be able to give her: the love, attentions, and affections of a family member/brother/husband. He can\u2019t give this to her and realizes it\u2019s best for her to let her go. Yoo Jung also for once understands that a big part of the problem is himself. No matter how crazy In Ha is, Yoo Jung and his father have not done right by her, and some of her behavior stems from theirs towards her.\nSo what exactly is Yoo Jung\u2019s problem? He is jaded and cynical about other people, but that\u2019s fairly normal. What\u2019s not normal is how he deals with others who have wronged him or are trying to use them. A., he assumes that\u2019s what\u2019s going on when sometimes circumstances are actually the opposite. B., he doesn\u2019t directly question others about their motives or call them out in a healthy, confrontational manner. This is because he is only viewing them as inferior in some way, rather than as individuals with desires and needs, and who with a little care and attention would behave much, much better. C., he lives by the motto of an \u201ceye for an eye,\u201d but the way he goes about getting back at someone is entirely duplicitous, underhanded, and all too often for Seol, frightening. For example, instead of bringing a peeping tom to the cops so they can charge him, Yoo Jung beats him to a bloody pulp in a flurry of violence that leaves Seol not thanking him, but shrinking from him. Another example: He continually does things for Seol, like helping her get a scholarship, but gets others in trouble or blackmails others into making way for both him and Seol. This is how his father must act, though we don\u2019t get to see a lot of his father, and it is sociopathic behavior where the ends justify any means.\nSeol isn\u2019t as fully realized as the other characters, namely Yoo Jung, In Ha, and In Ho. While the other three seem to grow during the series, she only grows in her appreciation and understanding for Yoo Jung, not for those around her. After college, in the office world, she still coming across similar people trying to take advantage of her or earn her favor. She seems resigned to them, wisely not upsetting them, but also not really seeing them as people, merely a type of person. At this point, Yoo Jung is working on himself and his perceptions of other people, and our hope, is that once he returns to shower his love on Seol (and others), that he will in turn help her see people as well.\nThe best success in the series that Seol has for caring for another person is the way she treats Baek In Ho. In Ho used to be Yoo Jung\u2019s best friend, but that was all shattered by a misunderstanding in high school. For whatever reason, the two connect and become genuine friends. At time it seems as if he\u2019s the perfect man for Seol, but we easily forget that he was abused and damaged along with his sister. Although he may have fallen for Seol, it is likely because she was the catalyst for him to finally start healing and moving on from the past. In Ho, played by the very handsome and charming Seo Kang Joon, gets a lot more screen time than Park Hae Jin\u2019s Yoo Jung, but it\u2019s actually a relief in some ways, because Yoo Jung becomes so abhorrent after awhile. It is only in the last episodes that Yoo Jung realizes that he himself really has a problem and that it has to stop. He only has this epiphany because Seol gets physically injured by In Ha. If that never happened, I shudder to think what would have happened with Seol totally in love with Yoo Jung and supporting and affirming his dangerous and damaging behavior against others. Cheese in the Trap, indeed.\nAn entire novel could be written about the philosophy and world view of this show, as it is truly fascinating. It is definitely not your typical show or story in any country. One of these days, I hope to read the webtoon and see how different it is from the show. I have also heard that the Korean movie, also starring Park Hae Jin, treats Yoo Jung a bit more kindly. All of the actors, but especially the four leads, did a stellar job, and the series as a whole is both nostalgic (again, with that 80s feel, and at times unsettling as it seems like a camp of psychotic vampires is permanently camped around Seol. Cheese in the Trap is at its heart a morality tale: Those who do not learn to deal with conflict and adversity in a timely, upfront, and loving manner are dooming themselves to continually spiralling conflicts and adversity all the days of their life. Those who do not truly take the time and effort to know and really see people will find themselves constantly seeing and expecting only the worst in people, and will find them\u2013and themselves\u2013acting accordingly. It is so easy to see how others must take responsibility for themselves and their actions, but how difficult to see the same in oneself.\nThis entry was posted on February 3, 2019, in kdramas, TV reviews and tagged Cheese in the Trap, Kim Go Eun, Korean Drama, Park Hae Jin.\tLeave a comment\nBook review: Jackaroo\nThe Kingdom series of books by Cynthia Voigt was a favorite of mine in my teen years and I\u2019ve decided to revisit them to see if they are still as great as I remember. The four stories, Jackaroo, On Fortune\u2019s Wheel, The Wings of a Falcon, and Elske (sadly, many of the names have now been changed when they were reissued with new covers, but stories are the same, I hope) are loosely connected, being set in and around a kingdom somewhat like a medieval English or European kingdom. Jackaroo stood out to me at the time I read it, because there\u2019s not any magic in it, yet there\u2019s something magically remote about the Kingdom.\nJackaroo is actually my least favorite in the series. My favorite was always On Fortune\u2019s Wheel as it\u2019s an adventure/romance, but The Wings of a Falcon is a very close second, and I always think of that book being the masterpiece of her series. Elske I\u2019ve only read a couple of times and don\u2019t remember much about it. It never seemed to fit as well with the original trilogy of stories, but as I read through them again, that view may change.\nWith this recent rereading of Jackaroo, I understand now why although I liked the world, I didn\u2019t like the story as much as the second book: Teenage girls tend to crave romances, and although there is a love story in the book, it\u2019s far from the focal point. But I realize now that the love story, quiet as it is, is actually fantastic, but something my teen self was just not into at the time. Burl seemed so unsuited for the heroine, Gwyn, being a servant and often described from her point of view as someone who is just always there and pining away for her sister who won\u2019t have him. Plus, he didn\u2019t talk much. Now, firmly an adult, I can see the quiet strength he gives her, helping Gwyn to be Gwyn. And, isn\u2019t that often what people want in a romantic partner? Just someone who will have their back and be invested in them? Gwyn eventually realizes this and is happy to be with him in the end.\nWhat really caught my attention the first time around, though, was the possibility of adventure, because Jackaroo is a hero of the people, much like Robin Hood or Zorro. Like Zorro. Although Jackaroo\u2019s past and rumored deeds are mentioned in the book, it\u2019s not a rousing tale of adventure like I had wanted: The book offers more than that. Gwyn is an innkeeper\u2019s daughter, a spirited girl and a hard worker, capable in a way the rest of her family are not, and determined never to marry. Because her family is better off than some, they have to endure constant mutterings against them, something that I\u2019m sure any successful person will recognize. And no matter how much the successful people give back to those poorer than them, it\u2019s never enough. Ruling over everyone is the king, the earls, and the lords. Gwyn has a heart for the people and how especially the lords\u2019 boots press heavily upon them. The laws the lords have put in place aren\u2019t really to serve justice, but merely to serve the desires of the lords. It\u2019s a situation common as mud, which is why tales like Robin Hood and Zorro resonate so much. Won\u2019t someone give the people a break, already?\nWhen a lord and his son require a party to join them for a mapmaking excursion north in the dead of winter, Gwen and Burl end up being their guides. In a blizzard, they get separated and Gwen and the \u201clordling\u201d as she calls him, end up snowbound for weeks in a hut not very far from the inn. Gwen is at first resolved to keep up appearances and treat the boy as if he were her master and she his servant, but as time passes and boredom ensues, the pair become friends and both are able to see the opposite class as human. The lordling even teaches her to read, something that is forbidden to regular people.\nAfter the winter, the injustice in the Kingdom eats away at Gwen, and when she finds a set of clothes that seem exactly like something Jackaroo would wear, she takes up his mask and pretends to be him, doing good deeds as she can, not fully realizing how much danger she is in by her actions. Burl sorts it out and she falls for him largely because he, too, sees the injustice and wants to change it, but it\u2019s enough for her that he merely sees it, really sees it. In fact, Gwen discovers quite a lot of people admire and even want to be Jackaroo, because Jackaroo is outside society and can be a catalyst for positive change.\nAlthough Jackaroo doesn\u2019t feel dated in a bad way, there\u2019s a distinct 1980s feel about the story and the writing. It was published mid-decade and the world is sometimes akin to The Princess Bride or Willow (minus the magic), and a little connected to Pretty in Pink or The Breakfast Club (class differences, rich and poor). It\u2019s a classic in a similar way that those movies are classic. There\u2019s nostalgia for those who lived in the 80s, but also something new to learn upon subsequent readings. I\u2019m so glad that I reread Jackaroo and gained a new appreciation for the many layers of the story, Gwen\u2019s concerns, the love story, the politics, the history, the keen insight into human nature, and so on, and I can\u2019t wait to get started reading On Fortune\u2019s Wheel. The world of the Kingdom would be fairly easy to adapt to screen if anyone every got the notion. Cynthia Voigt is a gem of a writer.\nThis entry was posted on January 24, 2019, in Book Reviews and tagged cynthia voigt, jackaroo, The Kingdom.\tLeave a comment\nThe Keys to the Kingdom: book review\nHappy 2019, everyone! I think it\u2019s going to be a great year! Ok, I think that about every year, but every year does turn out to be great in its own ways. Even the hard years\u2013and 2018 was a very hard year for me\u2013have their own greatness. Difficult times challenge us and help us learn so much about ourselves\u2013and, boy, did I learn a lot!\nOne of the biggest things I have learned in 2019 so far is that if I\u2019m not ready to hear something or learn something or really see something, I won\u2019t. It\u2019s quite literally, impossible. 2018 was a struggle because I finally admitted to myself just how bad I was at relationships, especially romantic ones. This is hard to admit because\u2013and maybe it\u2019s a woman thing\u2013but I also thought \u201cthere\u2019s no way I can change. It would be too difficult and I just am who I am.\u201d\nIt\u2019s funny, though, how God works. We say these things to ourselves and then He puts a person or people in our way as if to say, \u201cYou can\u2019t change for the better? You can\u2019t do it? Not even for this person?\u201d It\u2019s a friendly test, if you will. So that\u2019s what happened to me and why I was in such distress. You meet a person that is so special that you want to change for them. You would do anything for them, but you just don\u2019t know how to begin, and then your brain becomes open to new information, like: \u201cAm I actually seeing things or people as they are? If not, that means I may be the problem.\u201d But now that thought isn\u2019t so scary because perspective is something we can change, totally change.\nThis past weekend I read two books. (Don\u2019t be too shocked, they\u2019re not very long and I read quickly when I\u2019m interested). I often enjoy reading comments on blog and articles on the internet. People often share video links, music, and books that inspired them. Well, someone mentioned this amazing book about women understanding men called Keys to the Kingdom by Alison Armstrong. Something about the enthusiasm of the commenter nudged me to give it a chance.\nKeys to the Kingdom is primarily written for women, but I think men can get a lot out of it, too. With most self-help or relationship advice books, the information is written in a nonfiction, rather bland way. Although we may agree with what the writer is saying, we often struggle in how to apply that in real life. This book (and its sequel, The Queen\u2019s Code) are different. While they are still instruction manuals, they are told completely in story format, with somewhat cringey dialogue at times and goofy people to boot. At first, I was irritated\u2013\u201cjust give me the information, already!\u201d\u2013but then I started reading, and I couldn\u2019t put it down for two reasons:\n1) Much of the information resonated as being true about both men and women. It seemed so true that I was surprised I didn\u2019t know it already\u2013but the reason I didn\u2019t know or haven\u2019t known was because I wasn\u2019t ready to see it, to register it, and to act on it.\n2) I love stories. They are both the joy of my life and the bane of my existence. If I get obsessed with a story I often lose track of everything and everyone else. Want to win my heart? Tell me awesome stories! (Yikes, that\u2019s scary to learn about oneself, right?) By the second chapter I realized that I was understanding the information and thinking how it applied to real life because it was given to me in a story. A list of bullet points, or notes like were listed at the end of each lesson really did nothing for me, as I was still focused on the story and eager to read what happens next.\nThe biggest takeaway of the story for me was that as women we are continually not giving men the \u201cbenefit of the doubt,\u201d that is, we automatically assume the worst about them and their intentions instead of the best. In fact, we probably do this a lot with women, too, and people in general. Our modern society has a great disdain for the two sexes, but especially for men. The fight for more equality of opportunities for women is and has often been accomplished by denigrating and pushing men down. We all know this, but it\u2019s quite different to finally see it in action, especially if you\u2019re suddenly given new information about men, what they think, how they act, and what their intentions towards women truly are. Oh, also women really suck at communication. We are so wordy yet don\u2019t say the important things, like what we need, or what we need even looks like.\nWell, I don\u2019t want to give too many details of either book as it\u2019s much more fun to discover the information for yourself, but I recommend reading Keys to the Kingdom first and then The Queen\u2019s Code. Although they can be read separately or out of order, you won\u2019t get the full \u201cstory.\u201d I can tell you these books made me laugh and cry, and the crying came mostly because: They give women hope. Men, too, but mostly women. Men don\u2019t have to be women and women don\u2019t have to be men and we can still be partners in life. It\u2019s a great, breathtaking, life-altering thing. After reading Keys, the next day at church I was glowing and grinning from ear to ear. I felt different and I wanted to tell all the women I know to read this book. And I can tell you people noticed and some even asked what was up. It\u2019s amazing what hope does to the soul.\nAs a Christian, one of the most exciting things I took away from the books were that God said He created man in his \u201cown image.\u201d After reading all the positive, amazing things about men, it struck me that God is this way, too. And in the same way that women often misunderstand men or think the worst of them, this is how we, too, often misunderstand and think the worst of God. \u201cLife-changing\u201d doesn\u2019t even begin to adequately describe the difference. It a time when we are now quite literally trying to turn men into women and women into men, these books and ideas are truly revolutionary. What a great gift it can be to see people as they truly are. How exciting life can be when we really see and get people. What an impact we can have on another\u2019s life and also appreciate and be thankful for their impact on our lives.\nIn her work, Alison Armstrong has tapped into something wonderful. You can tell by how enthusiastic the reviews for her books are that they resonate with women in a way other books of this topic do not and have not. The jaw dropping thing is that Armstrong herself was once the harshest of man haters and transformed into one of their biggest advocates, truly loving and understanding men in a way few other women bother to do. Armstrong has a few of her talks on Youtube, and I highly recommend watching them if you can, especially about asking for what you need. She says she feels she would cry out this information from the street corners if that was the only way to tell people. When people feel like that, I think they have truly tapped into the truth. Good news is something you automatically want to share with everyone around you.\nThis entry was posted on January 9, 2019, in Book Reviews and tagged Keys to the Kingdom, men vs. women, relationships, The Queen's Code.\tLeave a comment\nMerry Christmas everyone! It\u2019s the time of year when Christians celebrate the miracle of Jesus Christ, our Savior. He paid the punishment for our sins and suffered hell so we don\u2019t have to. Someday we will live eternally with Him in heavenly bliss.\nBut the angel said to them [the shepherds], \u201cDo not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrap in cloths and lying in a manger.\u201d\nGod be with you in your travels and bless your time together with family and friends. May His gift of life for us give you comfort and joy this Christmas season and always!\nThis entry was posted on December 24, 2018, in Musings and tagged Christmas, the birth of Jesus.\tLeave a comment\nHouse of Silk: book review\nIf you are a Sherlock Holmes fan, I highly recommend House of Silk by Anthony Horowitz. I am a little over halfway and am enjoying immensely\u2013much, much more than his disappointing Moriarty. In fact, I am enjoying it so much that I want to go back and read all of Doyle\u2019s original stories again, and the two Sherlock Holmes movies starring Robert Downey Jr., as well as the fun BBC Sherlock series with Benedict Cumberbatch (still the best name ever). Holmes and Watson are simply the best detective duo ever written. Although I adore Agatha Christie\u2019s Poirot, there\u2019s something about these two characters. They are such men of action and really funny as well. House of Silk has a seal of approve from the Conan Doyle Estate, so Horowitz is certainly on the right track with this tale as far as they are concerned. Can\u2019t wait to see how the story turns out.\nAdditional review: Kdrama Encounter (Boyfriend) is a unique Noona (older woman, younger man) romance starting out in Cuba of all places, and then, of course continuing back in Seoul. Not sure what to make of all these Noona romances they seem to be making lately. Here, Park Bo Gum\u2019s Jin Hyeok is very sweet and naive, but is supposed to be twenty-nine or thirty, and because the actor himself is only twenty-five or so, he just comes across as very young. Add to that Jin Hyeok\u2019s place as\u2013shall we say not a chaebol (rich elite)\u2013and you have a recipe for him simply bringing his older lady love (played by the beautiful Song Hye Kyo) more stress and trouble than she has already, as she will have to protect him continually. Now, the writers probably have something in store for him or the couple together to outwit the bad guys, but so far I\u2019m skeptical. Loved the Cuba setting, though, and kinda hope they escape back there or something.\nHappy reading and watching! \u2013Pixie\nThis entry was posted on December 20, 2018, in Book Reviews, kdramas, TV reviews and tagged Encounter, House of Silk, Park Bo Gum, Sherlock Holmes.\tLeave a comment\n3 Quick review: These Shallow Graves, The Man in the Brown Suit, Isaiah\nThree quick reviews for today.\nCuriosity from seeing Jennifer Donnelly\u2019s books on the YA shelf at the library finally prompted me to actually read one of them. These Shallow Graves is a bit more conventional than the title would suggest, but that\u2019s what I like about it. Set during the Gilded Age in a time when feminism was actually necessary, at least in the view of some, the story is about society girl Josephine Montfort finding the life that she wants to live.\nYes, the plot is a mystery involving her family\u2019s company, but the point of novel is to show a young girl trying to break free from the expectations of those around her\u2013and succeeding. This is something anyone can relate to, for we often, man or woman, young or old, chafe under the burdens placed upon by our stations in life. Sometimes our resentment is warranted, sometimes not. In this case, Jo\u2019s wish to flee to a different simpler life is best, for the life she has is stewed in lies, her families riches built upon harming others.\nLargely atmospheric, the book is a quick read and carries Jo from one weird New York City world to the next. Many of the characters are Dickensian in nature, and much time is spent detailing just how unfortunate the \u201cunfortunates\u201d and poor of that time were. It\u2019s also set in a time when some journalists were actually doing what journalists should do: hold the rich and powerful\u2019s feet to the fire, root out corruption, and plead the case of those same unfortunates to have a chance in life. Jo\u2019s ambition is to be just such a reporter, and by the end of the story, we\u2019ve no doubt she\u2019ll succeed.\nI thoroughly enjoyed this story and was pleased that the feminism did not, as is does today, involve the hating of men. In fact, Donnelly, is kind to all of her male characters, even the despicable ones, even the ones who don\u2019t get the girl. Donnelly hints that they are just as trapped in society as the women are, and it is to her credit. Life is so much better if people can live in truth (even if it\u2019s bitter) and freedom. At the end, Jo doesn\u2019t quite get her man, but it\u2019s clear she probably will in the future. Even couples in love have to find their way though misunderstandings and uncertainties, but I suppose that\u2019s what makes the dance of romance something exciting and worth doing. I plan to read more of Donnelly\u2019s work, and look forward to her future well-researched and well-crafted stories.\nMy second reading of this fine novel of Agatha Christie\u2019s left me feeling torn. I thought it was my favorite of hers, but now I\u2019m not sure. I love the adventure of the story and the determination of Anne (with an \u2018e\u2019!) Beddingfeld to solve the mystery even if it means taking a huge risk to journey on an ocean liner to Africa at a time when she is nearly penniless. That takes guts and the certainty that one will figure things out, that one is smart enough and wily enough to do so. Few in this life have that confidence, and many of those who do find they have to \u201ccall a friend,\u201d for they find their gamble does not pay off. I love that it takes place on a ship and I love the characters on that ship. By the time they got to South Africa, though, the story seemed to drag, and the romance was instalove that relied heavily on coincidence, especially in one key part after which Anne ends up on an island with her lover. It seemed a move unworthy of Christie, but this was written before the Poirot stories, I think, and many of her even better mysteries to come. Even Agatha Christie wasn\u2019t Agatha Christie right away.\nThe first time I read the story, the mystery part seemed a lot more intriguing; this time not as much. However, I still like the romance a lot. It is \u201cinstalove\u201d or love at first sight, but in Christie\u2019s defense she doesn\u2019t pretend it\u2019s anything else. Does this kind of love exist, we ask ourselves from time to time? How could it be possible? Doesn\u2019t one have to know another person very well, both their flaws and their brilliance, to say that you actually love them for all of them? If we\u2019re honest, we\u2019d have to say no. Most of the time, sure, especially in romance, it\u2019s good to get to know your partner thoroughly before declaring your love, but it\u2019s completely possible that there are couples who have the ability to know each other through and through almost instantly. It doesn\u2019t make sense and almost seems like magic, but all love is a sort of magic, really. That love should exist alongside all of the bad in the world doesn\u2019t truly make sense\u2013but it doesn\u2019t have to.\nDoes the instant love that parents have upon seeing their newborn child really make sense? What do they know of their baby after all and what he or she will become? Children love their parents while actually knowing very little about them as people\u2013their hopes, dreams, desires, past wrongs and faults, and yet we don\u2019t declare their love as being false in some way, do we? Love at first sight for another person is something we all will likely experience at least once in our lifetimes, but it\u2019s scary, so many people run away from it\u2013thinking it can\u2019t possibly be true\u2013rather than embracing it as Anne does here. Her lover is dumbfounded by her and at first fiercely pushes her and her instalove away. When they actually do get time together, he is uneasy. This love is something that is rapidly overwhelming his world. Here is a woman who with no guile declares her love for him and that she will fight for him. And, because of that love, she\u2019s asking for the same in return, that he declare his love for her, and that he fight for her as well. For any man, I think this would be a scary situation. It\u2019s maybe easier on men when women don\u2019t declare their intentions quite so openly. Openness leaves no way out: A man either rises to the occasion or he does not. In this case, as a man probably would, he warns Anne that there will be no turning back, no getting out of this relationship once he\u2019s all in. As if that would scare her. She passes all of his tests, every single one, but is no small task to accept a man\u2019s love. His warning is a strong one that we women should take to heart, for men, once they are in, they are all in. Such love is precious and should be treated as such.\nIs this instant love realistic? For most people, no, but a few willing to take the leap find that the blessings of it far outweigh the risks. Christie muses a lot on the fact that all most women want is a man who will fight for them, who will want them and who will not say \u201cthe choice is yours,\u201d but rather, \u201cI want you, and I\u2019m keeping you no matter what.\u201d To our modern ears this sounds a bit caveman like, but it is true that there\u2019s a bit of a turn off if the person you love tells you it doesn\u2019t matter whether you are with them or not. They mean to be kind in giving the other person the choice, but, oh, what a blow to the soul. God\u2019s love is never like this: He loves us and wants us completely and will always fight for us. His love is both instant and eternal. Earthly romance is supposed to be a mirror of this quality of God, but we so often lack the courage to manifest it. It\u2019s wonderful and comforting to be able to look to a Being who has perfect love when we so often don\u2019t. We see it is possible, that everything can be possible with Him.\nAnyway, The Man in the Brown Suit is an adequate adventure story with much food for thought on the nature of romantic love, and largely amusing even if the story doesn\u2019t seem fully formed as Christie\u2019s latter works do.\nThe book of Isaiah in the Bible is one of my go-to Advent reads. At 66 chapters, it\u2019s a bit long, but is well worth the yearly read. Handel\u2019s Messiah uses text from it, and though it details the gravity of God\u2019s judgement against man\u2019s sins, it is also a beautiful declaration of the Gospel, of God\u2019s promise to send a Savior, Jesus Christ, and His plan to save the world. (Sorry, Q, you\u2019ve got nothing on God, and if your plans are succeeding it\u2019s only because God wishes it at this time.) We are wholly unworthy of God\u2019s holy love, yet we possess it in spades. He sent his Son, born as a babe, to live perfectly for us, to suffer all of our sins once and for all on the cross, and, in the ultimate pinnacle of that suffering, to die for us in our place. There can be no greater love than that. There will never be any greater love than that.\nAdvent in the Christian church is a time when we look forward to remembering Christ\u2019s birth and how God sent us the perfect gift of salvation. I look forward to reading the promises in Isaiah once again.\n\u201cThough your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.\u201d\nI encourage you to read through Isaiah this Advent and contemplate just how much God loves you and all the world. With Him there is true hope, love, and peace, ultimate peace between God and humanity. From that springs forth the waters of forgiveness, kindness, patience, and compassion, and the real possibility of peace among all men, women, and children in the world.\nThis entry was posted on December 13, 2018, in Book Reviews and tagged Isaiah, The Man in the Brown Suit, These Shallow Graves.\tLeave a comment",

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb Tattoo Removal\nThe Nd:YAG laser\u2019s unique combination of short wavelength light and rapid, high intensity pulses makes it an very good option for tattoo removal as it helps to maximise the destruction of skin pigmentation and tattoo ink. The treatment minimises scarring as the laser preserves the surrounding skin and focuses its light energy only on the tattoo ink, breaking it up and leaving it to be removed by your body\u2019s natural cleansing process.\nRepeated treatments over a period of several weeks are recommended and usually needed for good results. On average, there will be up to a 90-95% reduction of your tattoo\u2019s appearance and almost all colours can be removed except certain shades of yellow and green. Tattoos that are smaller in size require fewer pulses to larger tattoos, but in both cases you should see a gradual improvement in your tattoo and it will appear lighter after each subsequent session.\nHOW LASER TATTOO REMOVAL WORKS?\nThe Nd:YAG laser works by stimulating collagen production which is used by the skin to generate new cells. This new technology is able to target scars and wrinkles to be treated at the root, deep in the skin. Using laser energy that penetrates deeply without injuring the top layer of skin, the deeper layers of skin are stimulated to produce natural collagen and other vital proteins that make up healthy and youthful-looking skin. This treatment is relatively swift and is painless, with the added bonus of very little or no downtime for patients.\nAll tattoos are unique and thus removal must be tailored specifically for each tattoo. As mentioned earlier, green and yellow shades are harder to remove and thus must be considered before selecting this treatment. Black ink absorbs all laser wavelengths, making it the easiest colour to remove using the laser treatment.\nTreatment sessions will vary depending on the size and colours of your specific tattoo, and you should schedule an appointment for consultation so you can make a calculated and informed decision about removal.",

        "raw_content": "Can I Get Some of That?\nBefore I get to my post of the day, please accept my apologies for not visiting many of your sites yesterday\u2026 I\u2019m having a host of computer problems at my house, and WordPress failed to email me my notifications for some reason. Weird. (If you happen to know why, can you please tell me how to fix it?) Plus with it being my sister\u2019s birthday, we were out late, and the time got away from me. I\u2019ll catch up with you soon! And now, back to our regularly scheduled post\u2026\nAs I\u2019ve mentioned before, besides being a writer, I\u2019m a professional photographer. I specialize in weddings, though I also do various types of portraiture as well as other events and parties. As I wrap up my pet peeves month, one thing that peeves the bejeebers out of me is how often my \u201cfriends\u201d will ask me for free portraits of them, their families, and their children. Sometimes, they\u2019ll even ask me to shoot their parties or weddings and expect me to donate my time and talent for free. If I offer my services for free, that\u2019s one thing, but many of them come right out and ask (some of them, several times a year). I think what irritates me even more with these \u201cfriends,\u201d is that I never hear from them any other time, except when they need photos.\nFurthermore, because we are \u201cfriends,\u201d many times they call at the last minute to tell me they\u2019re running late. Quite often, this means thirty minutes to an hour or more that I sit around waiting for them, despite the possibility that I have other plans for my own day.\nNow, many of these friends work at stores, medical buildings, law offices, etc. I have never once gone to any of their places of employment and asked for free merchandise or services. (And before you say it, I already know: The fault is actually mine for not turning away these clowns who never seem to contact me any other time except when they want something.)\nWhile I\u2019m on the subject, another thing that cheeses me about photography is prospective wedding clients who come to meet with me, then need to come back again and waste another hour or more of my time by bringing back their parents, then might even come back a third time so I can repeat everything again. Then they have the nerve to ask for a discount.\nNo! I am a professional! Would you dare to go to your dentist and ask for a half-off root canal? Would you ask your gynecologist if he offers a groupon for a pap smear? No, of course not!\nWhat makes a professional photographer? Hint: It is NOT owning a \u201cnice camera.\u201d It is having education as well as experience in lighting and posing. It\u2019s also owning appropriate professional grade equipment as well as possessing the knowledge of how to use said equipment. It\u2019s also being covered by insurance which protects us as well as you, it\u2019s having a backup system that duplicates everything we shoot so there will be no danger of a technical difficulty if one of our cards goes bad, and it\u2019s having a sound contract in place which covers both parties.\nI meet so many people that are shopping for the cheapest photographer to capture what should be the most important day of their life. Sometimes they even get so frustrated, that they rely on their \u201cuncle with the nice camera\u201d and don\u2019t hesitate to tell me so when I refuse to budge on my price. So many times I want to ask them, \u201cHey, if your aunt owns an oven, is she going to be baking your wedding cake?\u201d or \u201cHey, if your cousin owns a pocket knife, will you be letting him do your appendectomy?\u201d\nAnd the saddest thing of all is when this happens and I get the call after the wedding from upset brides that ask me how much I charge to \u201cfix\u201d their photos that turned out awful. The lesson to be learned is, if you\u2019re in the market for a professional photographer and you insist on a cheap one, you just might get what you pay for.*\n*Sometimes there are expensive photographers that are simply awful and either take forever to get the photos to the client or have a horrible personality or perhaps are even unskilled. Sadly, these are a disgrace to my profession. Most of us that are true professionals, however, are not like that.\nOkay, so I\u2019m stepping down from my soapbox now. I apologize for the rant. So how many of you have ever had friends ask you for free goods or services? How easy would it be for you to say no when that happens? Did you hire a professional photographer at your own wedding? Describe the best professional photograph you\u2019ve ever had taken of yourself.\nPosted in Daily Thoughts\t| Tagged author, blog, photography, random thoughts, rant, writer, writing\t| 30 Replies\nToday, I hope you will join me in wishing a very happy birthday to my sister, Michelle.\nMichelle & Rachel After Skydiving\nThis photos is from a few years back just after we went skydiving on one of my birthdays.

(If you are interested in participating, please contact me.) I asked everyone thirty-five questions \u2014 some were basic, and others were multi-part inquiries \u2014 and I asked them to answer only what they wanted to or what was applicable. My friend, David McCaffrey, had some very captivating responses which I\u2019m sure will enchant you, as well. (And please note, he writes in my own genre, so I particularly think his book sounds amazing!) After you read his interview, please be sure to hop on over to his Facebook page and Twitter account, and follow him for a regular dose of his charisma and wit. And now, I turn the microphone over to David\u2026\nMy name is David McCaffrey. I\u2019m 39 and currently work as an Assistant Clinical Matron in Infection Prevention and Control in a local acute hospital. I have a Kelly, a Jake and a baby Liam on the way!\nFacebook \u2013 https://www.facebook.com/david.mccaffrey.129\nTwitter \u2013 https://twitter.com/daveymac1975\nPintrest \u2013 www.pinterest.com/davidmccaffrey\nHellbound is my first novel.\nIf his book is as creative as his photo, I can\u2019t wait to read it!\nHellbound is currently on Britain\u2019s Next Bestseller and in the middle of its pre order campaign in order to try and secure a publishing deal. Please see: https://britainsnextbestseller.co.uk/index.php/book/index/HellboundTheTallyMan\nI have always loved writing, ever since I was a little boy. I entered a competition when I was 7 or 8 with a tale about a witch who was afraid of heights and won a set of coloured pens! But I started taking it seriously after the birth of my first son, Jake. I felt it was something I could be good at and that I had the ability to tell stories that would entertain people.\nProbably the fact that I am able to take my vivid imagination and put it down on paper in the hope that someone else will enjoy what I have written. And I have fantastic support from my friends and family who have always been honest about what works and what doesn\u2019t in a story. It\u2019s good to have people around you who you can trust to offer you constructive criticism, because in the end it only helps you to construct a tighter narrative.\nHard to select just a few but if I had to I guess I would say my favorite authors are Steve Alten, John Grisham, Stephen King, George. R. R. Martin, Simon Kernick and Stephen Leather. And at the moment I\u2019m reading \u2018I Am Pilgrim\u2019 by Terry Hayes which is an awesome story of a man who formerly worked in the world of espionage and has to content with preventing an act of global terrorism. It is a fantastic, gripping tale and one of the best books of the year so far.\nI love my Kindle, but to be honest I don\u2019t think you can ever beat the feel and smell of an actual paperback or hardback book! I\u2019m a bit of a traditionalist\u2026I buy CD\u2019s and DVD\u2019s rather than downloading them. I like how they all look on a bookshelf!\nFor \u2018Hellbound\u2019 I wrote in the third person because I felt it made it easier for the reader to relate to the characters by maintaining that level of distance. The antagonist does some horrific things and I felt in the first person it would be harder for the reader to feel towards him what I intended them to feel if it sounded like events where being described in real time.\nI read nearly every night. Maybe only a few pages of something, but I find it helps me settle my overactive mind!\nI might read 6 or 7 books during the course of a year. And at one time, I have been known to be reading 3!!\nHellbound is a psychological thriller and proudly fits into that category. How it differs from other books in that genre is that it\u2019s concerned with consequences of being remorseless and how do you make someone suffer who is truly evil. Is it possible to make them understand what they have taken from you? And if so, where do you draw the line between revenge and justice. All of these elements come into play in Hellbound, but play out in a way I think most people will find surprising.\nOddly, most of the inspiration for Hellbound came from Kung Fu Panda! The film features the ultimate isolated prisoner who finds himself freed and only the most unlikely hero can save the day. Silence of the Lambs was also inspiration in the sense that Hannibal Lecter is an evil individual but you warm to him because he has bizarre moral standards you can relate to. And I threw in a bit of Groudhog Day and An Inside Man for something a little different!\nMy target audience is 18 and above and I think it\u2019s a story that anyone will enjoy. I think those readers who enjoy thrillers will like it for its slight spin on convention and those for whom thrillers are not their first choice of book will be pleasantly surprised with its accessibility and fast pace.\nHellbound begins with the execution of an infamous serial killer, Obadiah Stark, witnessed by the world\u2019s media and one reporter, Joe O\u2019Connell. When certain elements of the execution begin to raise suspicion, Joe decides to investigate only to find out that not everything is as it seems. Parallel to that, Obadiah finds himself in an afterlife surrounded by a family and people who seem to have no recollection of who he is and what he has done. Their journeys converge to a point where the reader has to ask themselves where the line between justice and revenge lies and what secrets are being kept.\nI try to write five days a week. Working full time as a nurse and with a family, it is sometimes difficult to find long periods of time where I\u2019m free so I mostly tend to write on an evening for a few hours at a time. At the end of the day, if you enjoy it enough and are passionate about it you make the time.\nOn average, I will write maybe six/seven hundred words a sitting.\nFor Hellbound, I was fortunate enough to have New York Times Bestselling author Steve Alten as my writing coach and he edited my manuscript for me. For my as yet untitled second novel my beautiful other half Kelly is doing the honors. She is very honest about what does and doesn\u2019t work and is really good at spotting typo\u2019s!\nI was taught an invaluable lesson and that is to create a beat sheet for the entire story. This is essentially the key \u2018beats\u2019 or scenes of the story in short bullet points. By doing this you can easily see which areas scenes work, which don\u2019t and whether some can be moved elsewhere for greater impact.\nOnce the beat sheet is complete, I can begin writing each chapter. Certain aspects may change with the writing as you begin to see how aspects of your story can be better served by being more fleshed out, or whether certain characters need more backstory or characterisation.\nI will always re-read and edit what I have written the previous day with a fresh perspective and then continue writing from there. I also always have a backstory for the key characters; personal history, education, relationships so that they are fully realised people once they are being put down on the page.\nInspiration? Probably Kelly and my two sons. Kelly is definitely my muse and most ardent supporter though I do have other people who continue to be extremely important and enthusiastic about my writing.\nHellbound took my just over two years. I would have had it completed quicker but life gets in the way occasionally! My second novel will be finished by the end of this year.\nIn Hellbound, the antagonist\u2019s name needed to be something biblical and powerful yet at the same tie unusual. Hence I settled on Obadiah Stark for the name of the antagonist.\nThe protagonist was given the friendly Irish name of Joe O\u2019Connell. The supporting characters where named after people I knew at work and some friends.\nAs for the location, I didn\u2019t want to choose America or England but it needed to be somewhere familiar and relatable so I chose Ireland. The other reason for choosing Ireland was due to the fact that The Blasket Islands (a group of islands off the west coast of Ireland) are quite a desolate place and seemed ideal to place a supermax prison where you might want to keep the worst of humanity out of the way! Though the locations in Hellbound are real, many of the organisations and businesses are fictional.\nThe only thing I like is some music in the background, something instrumental and either classical or a film score. Anything with lyrics and I get distracted!\nI will only write in a really old wooden chair that irritates Kelly as it matches nothing in the house!\nIt would be fascinating to be Obadiah Stark for a day! Though having had him in my head for the past two years I feel as though I know him well\u2026which is worrying as he is a serial killer!!\nEasy! John Cavizel as Obadiah Stark, Stephen Amell as Joe O\u2019Connell and Jamie Alexander as Vicky Carter.\nResearching all about the death sentence and the process of an execution was quite challenging, as it isn\u2019t necessarily information that is readily available, even in this age of the Internet. Though you could find basic information, finding out specific details about the drugs used and the exact routines used during the execution of a prisoner was at the same time difficult and disturbing.\nThank you, David, for allowing me to interview you. I hope everyone else has enjoyed learning about you and your work as much as I have.\nAuthor Interview \u2013 Lisa Montanino\nRecently, I posted a Call to Writers, asking my fellow author bloggers to allow me to interview them for guest-spots on my blog.

So far all the readers can\u2019t wait to know what happens next\u2026 they have asked me to hurry up and release the follow up novel asap\u2026 I\u2019m so grateful to that response!\nI started writing when I was 30 and probably by the time the first two chapters morphed, I knew I wanted to finish it\u2026 make it a novel and become an author.\nI love writing\u2026 couldn\u2019t fathom not doing it really. Luckily I motivate myself and since having a book out\u2026 the readers reviews\u2026 their feedback have become another impetus for me as well.\nIt\u2019s a long list but my top five notables are: John Irving, Kurt Vonnegut, Chuck Klosterman, Nick Hornby, and Agatha Christie.\nPhysical book because it\u2019s more of a visual treat and I just love the feel of it. kindle is great though\u2026 I use it when I travel and don\u2019t want to lug all my books with me. Best of both worlds.\nAlways first person\u2026 third person doesn\u2019t feel natural to me. First person definitely does.\nI\u2019m ashamed to admit I didn\u2019t read jack when I was writing mine\u2026 maybe one or two in the year during that time and that was painful. But now that I\u2019m more experienced as a writer\u2026 I\u2019m able to multitask better as I\u2019m writing my second one. I usually don\u2019t take breaks.\nProbably about ten in a year\u2026 depending on size and matter. With the exception of when I was writing one\u2026 about two a year.\nFeedback \u2013 completed novel and the new one isn\u2019t title yet\u2026 Nameless for now.\nMine\u2019s literary fiction\u2026 sub genres would be comedic, contemporary, romantic, philosophical\u2026 possibly chick literature\u2026 though it\u2019s really geared towards readers of both sexes. I think my book is different because there\u2019s nothing out there like it. It\u2019s a year in the life of a radio dj\u2026 you go on this journey with her as she ponders her life.. decisions, mistakes, and the daily grind. I feel it\u2019s very relatable to anyone in the work force. From what I\u2019ve been told, especially by male readers, is that the male characters are strong and they feel I captured an accurate portrayal of what goes on in their minds. Also, the same applies for the female characters. Most of the characters were inspired by real people\u2026 I think that\u2019s what helped in regards to writing realistic dialogue between the characters. Readers have said they laughed\u2026 couldn\u2019t put it down, and were touched by the somber moments that appear at times.\nPeople I meet or know\u2026 life events\u2026 sometimes how the sun shined that day. As of late\u2026 I\u2019ve been pondering how fragile people can be, especially if they have an illness. I\u2019ve always been empathetic to that in my volunteer endeavors even more so these days.\nProbably the span from 20\u2019s to 40\u2019s primarily because of the characters but I think it will be appealing to younger and older generations as well. Though I do warn, no one under 18 should read it\u2026 they may enjoy it, but they won\u2019t be able to fully absorb it.\nBasically it\u2019s a story about a female disc jockey that\u2019s going through a very conflicting and chaotic time in her life. She\u2019s trying her best to get through the heartbreak and turmoil of ending her relationship with her fiance. She finds help through co-workers and a therapist on her journey to get back to the simple life she once had\u2026 with laughs, tears, and tribulations along the way.\nEveryday\u2026 on breaks at my day job and when I get home from work. Sometimes early morning before work too.\nVaries\u2026 usually 1000 to 2000 words or more.\nI had my book professionally edited (you have to!) and will have my next one edited. I edit my blog posts.\nGreat question. Usually I free flow write and work chapter by chapter in sequence\u2026 though I sometimes will leave a chapter unfinished to write an idea or storyboard for another chapter. After they\u2019re all compiled\u2026 I go back to the beginning and start pruning!\nAs blas\u00e9 as it sounds\u2026 life is my muse. I don\u2019t have one in particular though there are people in my life that constantly inspire me. I tend to steer away from my personal life in my writings. I\u2019m living it\u2026 I have no ambition to write about it i.e. an autobiography. In my opinion, it\u2019s a lot more fun\u2026 rewarding to create something as opposed to repeat it.\nMy first one took me five years\u2026 sadly. I had a full-time day job and volunteer efforts to contend with. My current manuscript should be done within a year.\n24. Do you give yourself a word limit for each day or a time limit to finish your novel? If so, please\nNo\u2026 though I probably should. The only rule I have is to write at least a sentence each day for my project.\nThe names just come to me. Geography\u2026 at least in my last novel was inspired by my living out in California and traveling to UK\u2026 one of my favorite cities.\nPretty extensive when I\u2019m researching a subject. I usually write out notes\u2026 print out articles and then story board them to create a cohesive writing piece.\nMy must haves are a comfortable setting\u2026 usually lying down with laptop. Hot beverage(s) are usually consumed. Sometimes I like to listen to music too\u2026 helps the writing flow.\nNot really\u2026 it\u2019s whenever time permits. Either in my living room or when I\u2019m traveling\u2026 especially on long plane rides.\nYes it does. Not so much in the beginning phases of the book but once you get to the final stages of editing and what have you, that\u2019s when it becomes trying. I didn\u2019t go on a vacation last year because of it. And I couldn\u2019t go to half of the events my friends invited me to. The book becomes a priority.\nI sometimes talk to myself and my plants in the house or garden when no one\u2019s around\u2026 I don\u2019t know why (laughs). Can\u2019t think of anything quirky I\u2019ve done when I write.\nSo far it\u2019s just one. Feedback.\nProbably the character Shane\u2026 He\u2019s a fun one to write. I\u2019d love to know what it feels like to have that much self-confidence, courage, and charisma.\nThe perfect cast would mostly be comprised of seasoned actors that are too old for their parts. Ideally it would be young versions of Michelle Pfeiffer (circa The Fabulous Baker Boys days) for Claire. A thin vibrant version of Alec Baldwin for Shane. Steve Zhan for Jared \u2013 yes. Kate Winslet or Michelle Williams for Sandra. Chris Hemsworth for Ethan\u2026 hands down. Ryan Reynolds or John F. Kennedy, Jr. with an English accent for Griffin. David Duchovny for John (therapist). And we\u2019d have to have Kevin Spacey in there for good measure\u2026 probably as Warren Woods\u2026 actually I\u2019d stipulate that! (laughs) Oh and Lana\u2026 I see present day Sandra Bullock, definitely.\nI don\u2019t know if it constitutes odd but when I researched what goes on in the minds of men in their early twenty\u2019s\u2026 wow. I love how it doesn\u2019t change as they get older \ud83d\ude09\nProbably cognitive therapy\u2026 it taps into so much, endless really. It\u2019s difficult to peace-meal it at times.\nThanks so much for taking the time to interview me Rachel! You\u2019re a wonderful spirit and writer.\nCheers \u2013 Lisa.\nThank you, Lisa, for allowing me to interview you. I hope everyone else has enjoyed learning about you and your work as much as I have.",

        "raw_content": "The Hacker Crackdown \u2014 Errata\n2013-10-22 Derek Pearcyerrata, hacker Leave a comment\nWhile I had several people reading the Hacker Crackdown stuff before posting it, I still got a couple of things wrong.\nFirst of all, the three Legion of Doom guys in Atlanta were raided six months before the AT&T long-distance telephone network crash, but they weren\u2019t arrested until three weeks after the network crash (along with Terminus, a Legion of Doom associate, and Knight Lightning, who edited the online magazine Phrack). Only after that did Erik Bloodaxe and the Mentor decide they had to take down their security research board, The Phoenix Project.\nHere\u2019s the best overall hacker crackdown timeline I\u2019ve found online. The formatting isn\u2019t great, though. I\u2019ll probably make one at some point.\nAlso, thanks to Steve Jackson for pointing out that the U.S. Secret Service actually did have a warrant for Steve Jackson Games. What they didn\u2019t have was a subpoena, and that was what cost them. This is because the Privacy Protection Act of 1980 grants publishers freedom from having the authorities search for evidence of crimes in their offices. Pete Kennedy was one of the lawyers for Steve Jackson Games, and he wrote:\nthey may not \u201csearch for or seize\u201d publishers\u2019 \u201cwork product\u201d or \u201cdocumentary materials\u201d, essentially draft of publications, writers\u2019 notes, and such. To get such material, the police must subpoena them, not with the much more disruptive search warrant.\nAlso, it turns out that the U.S. Secret Service had a warrant for their raid on Steve Jackson Games, though it was not available for inspection at the time of the raid or at any time soon after. It had been sealed by court order, which generally only happens when people\u2019s lives are clearly at risk. Only many months later did Steve\u2019s lawyers get the warrant affidavit unsealed.\nThe warrant, dated the day before the raid, clearly gives the SJ Games office address, even going so far as to describe it from the perspective of someone who had actually visited the location.\nMentor confirmed for me that the Secret Service agents already knew about Steve Jackson Games when they knocked on his door, and already planned on raiding the place. They mistakenly thought Mentor was a student at the university, which was why they\u2019d brought campus police with them \u2014 likely because Erik Bloodaxe was a student. They did ask him about his past programming jobs, though it was when they tried working out his role at SJ Games that they learned about the cyberpunk game.\nWhen I go back and edit the text \u2014 sooner rather than later, hopefully \u2014 I\u2019ll work in all these changes and details.\n\u2192 True Names \u2014 Sidebar: Evidence\n\u2190 \u201cShall We Make A Game?\u201d \u2014 Sidebar",

        "title": "Trip To The Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Site and Georgia Power Football Feud Highlight Day 2 Of Chick-fil-A Bowl Week \u2013 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets",
        "raw_content": "Trip To The Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Site and Georgia Power Football Feud Highlight Day 2 Of Chick-fil-A Bowl Week\nATLANTA \u2013 Day two of Chick-fil-A Bowl Week saw Georgia Tech wake up early, have breakfast in the hotel and then head to campus shortly before 9:00 to get ready for practice. One of the great things of playing in the Chick-fil-A Bowl is that Tech gets to practice at home and be comfortable in their own locker room.\nThe Yellow Jackets practiced for an hour and a half in pads at the Rose Bowl Fields before several members of the team and a few coaches met with over a dozen reporters on Callaway Plaza. Weather reports called for the fog to break and temperatures to approach 70, but the entire practice was held in damp conditions.\nAfter practice the Jackets boarded the busses again for a quick lunch at the Marriott Marquis and then the entire team and staff made their way to the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic site. For an hour, the players made their way through the museum taking in all of the history.\nThe Martin Luther King, Jr., National Historic Site includes a number of facilities that are operated in partnership with the National Park Service, Ebenezer Baptist Church and The King Center. Within these facilities the Jackets learned about Dr. King\u2019s life and his influence on others.\nThe Peace Plaza is the area between the National Park Service Visitor Center and Auburn Avenue. The focal points of the beautifully landscaped plaza area are the International World Peace Rose Garden, which includes inspirational messages of peace composed by students from local Atlanta schools, and a flowing water fountain. Also located in the plaza is the \u201cBEHOLD\u201d statue.\nAfter leaving the museum, the Jackets went back to the hotel where they had a few hours of free time before the Georgia Power Family Feud at night. Most players probably took this opportunity to take a much-needed nap.\nBoth teams enjoyed the Georgia Power Football Feud. Gil Tyree from CBS 46 was the Master of Ceremonies and after welcoming everyone to the Atrium Ballroom at the Marriott Marquis, both teams enjoyed a steak dinner. After dinner, Tyree called up a senior from each team as a two-minute highlight video from the regular season played. Darryl Richard represented the Yellow Jackets and we have to make sure to give kudos to Georgia Tech Video Operations Director Todd McCarthy and his staff. Todd put together an amazing video of some season highlights, including the call by \u201cVoice of the Yellow Jackets\u201d Wes Durham. Center Brett Helms was the LSU representative.\nThe next item on the agenda was the recognition of senior athletes. Georgia Tech head coach Paul Johnson and LSU head coach Les Miles came up on-stage and presented each of their seniors with a plaque.\nFinally, it was time for the evening\u2019s main event \u2013 Georgia Power Football Feud. 790 the Zone\u2019s Steak Shapiro was the host. The first game was between the Tech offense and LSU defense. The Jackets were represented by Todd Spencer, Calvin Booker, Dan Voss, Jim Henry and Nick Claytor. LSU was able to squeak out a narrow win, but there were several funny moments. It was quite evident that many of these players have never seen Family Feud! The Jackets made a come-back in the second game behind the defensive team of Dave Wommack, Dominique Reese, Darryl Richard, Matt Braman and Brad Jefferson.\nWith the final game still up for grabs, the Jackets had a chance to steal the question of what do players like to do when no one else is watching and complete the win. None other than defensive coordinator Dave Wommack won the game with his answer of \u201cpartying!\u201d Other questions included name something every player has to have on game-day, name something your coach yells at you for and name a football movie.\nSunday will be another action-packed day for the Yellow Jackets. They will practice first-thing in the morning at the Rose Bowl Fields and then Coach Johnson and a couple players will participate in a press conference. In the afternoon, the entire team will head over to the Georgia Dome and watch the Falcons take on the St. Louis Rams.\nBe sure to stay with www.ramblinwreck.com throughout Chick-fil-A Bowl week as we give you a behind-the-scenes look at all of the activities.",

Suffice it to say that I may never again eat at a Denny\u2019s again without cringing. At least it\u2019s my right arm, and I\u2019m left-handed.\nBut it\u2019s nearly 0600, and I should\u2019ve been asleep 2 hours ago. This doesn\u2019t bode well for the weekend full of work, if I can\u2019t get enough sleep the night before I start. I just can\u2019t get comfortable enough when I try to lay down. Hopefully, physical therapy (to be started early next week) will help with this, and I can avoid surgery altogether.\nWhat\u2019s really got me torqued off, though, is all the things I can\u2019t do right now. I\u2019ve got a new rifle on order, and I won\u2019t be able to shoot it when it comes in. For that matter, I can\u2019t do much shooting at all!!! Other than single-handed, that is\u2026and I guess I\u2019ll get much better at that over the next few weeks\u2026maybe even months. There is no exercise program at the moment; no riding of my bike, and I can\u2019t even begin to think of going back to Georgia to ride horses at the moment. I\u2019m having to stop and gauge every single move before I make it, lest I end up on the floor, crying like a little girl\u2026and that is JUST NOT WHO I AM.\nHowever, I do have a very sweet man taking very good care of me. He\u2019s doing his very best to see that I don\u2019t make things worse before I get better\u2026 And I do know just how lucky I am in that.\nCategories: Health, Wonderings\t| Tags: Whinging | 1 Comment\nOne thought on \u201cCan\u2019t Sleep\u201d\nThere goes Jay\u2019s hope for an injury-free shoot! \ud83d\ude09\nTake care of it and yourself \u2013 fortunately bourbon only requires one hand.",

Up until the mid-1800s the Lipan Apaches, Tonkawa\u2019s and Comanche Indians roamed the area, often settling along the San Gabriel River, which is the southeastern boundary of the property.

The law will pardon gay and bisexual men convicted for consensual homosexual acts in the past. They were caught under the offence of \u2018gross indecency,\u2019 the law used to convict and imprison Oscar Wilde amongst many thousands of others.\nOne man affected by that law was Jeffrey Dudgeon, a Northern Irish politician, historian and gay political activist. 35 years ago tomorrow, he took his country to court for treating him like a criminal, because he was gay. He won. See here for the full story.\nOn 22 October 1981, the European Court of Human Rights ruled that Northern Ireland\u2019s criminalisation of homosexual acts between consenting adults violated the human right to respect for his private and family life. Read our post on why the right to privacy matters here.\nHomosexual acts had ceased to be a criminal offence in 1967 in England and Wales, but not in Scotland and Northern Ireland.\nNo. 4 in Top 50 cases\nThis case is no. 4 of our Top 50 cases that transformed Britain because it represents much more than one man\u2019s fight: it directly paved the way for Northern Ireland\u2019s decriminalisation of homosexual acts in 1982, and also set a landmark legal precedent which has been used time and again to defend gay rights across Europe.\nAs part of the 2012 New Year Honours List, Jeffrey Dudgeon was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) for \u201cservices to the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender community in Northern Ireland\u201d.\nFighting for human rights\nThe case demonstrates the impact individuals can have when they are prepared to fight injustice and discrimination through the courts. Take a look at the rest of our Top 50 cases here to see other examples of ordinary people standing up for their human rights.\nWhen Jeffrey Dudgeon\u2019s private life was invaded by the police in 1976, he had no right to bring his case against the government through the courts of his own country. Since the introduction of the Human Rights Act 1998, everyone has the right to bring a claim in the courts of this country, if they believe their human rights have been violated. Read our plain English post on how the Human Rights Act 1998 works here.\nBeing gay is not a crime\u2026.or is it?\nWell, not in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern leland, anymore. But it is a crime in other countries. Some countries still carry the death penalty for being gay. So, the fight for LGBTQI equality continues and human rights play a central part in that fight.\nRead our news story on Turing\u2019s Law \u2018Thousands Of Convicted Gay Men To Be Pardoned, Even If They Are Dead\u2019 here.\nRead our Feature on A Brief History Of Homophobia here.\nCheck out 5 Times Human Rights Conquered Homophobic Laws here.\nTake a break here with our post What Was The \u2018Gay Cake\u2019 Case All About?\nRead about another anniversary here \u2013 The Human Right Not To Hide.

        "raw_content": "The United States ranks 41st in Reporters Without Borders 2016 World Press Freedom Index\nThe United States\u2019 ranking improved in Reporters Without Borders (RSF) World Press Freedom Index, published on April 20. At 49th place in 2015, the country now ranks 41st out of 180 countries. This improvement in ranking is, however, quite relative, as in this section of the Index surrounding countries\u2019 scores are close and small improvements are enough to drive such a positive evolution. This relative improvement by comparison hides overall negative trends.\nThe United States has gone from 49th to 41st place on the World Press Freedom Index, the latest version of which was published by RSF on April 20. The United States now ranks higher than France (45th), but still ranks lower than Canada (18th).\nAfter months of US government consultations - which included RSF - President Barack Obama met in June 2015 with former hostages and the families of US citizens held hostage abroad and unveiled a new hostage policy. RSF hailed the policy improvements, including provisions for involving the families more and the possibility of negotiating with hostage-takers, but RSF reminds US authorities that they must continue to live up to expectations generated by the announcement. Austin Tice, the last American journalist missing or held hostage abroad since Jason Rezaian\u2019s release from Iran, is still missing in Syria.\nIn January 2015, the Department of Justice (DOJ) stopped its harassment of New York Times\u2019 journalist James Risen. The DOJ had tried for years to force him to reveal his sources for the book he published on the CIA, State of War, and threatened jail time if he refused. Furthermore, the increase in the US\u2019 ranking is also due to the fact that all journalism-related charges in the case against former Vanity Fair and Guardian contributor, now The Intercept contributor Barrett Brown were dropped in March 2014 ; he is no longer in jail for his activities as a journalist.\nThe main cause for concern for RSF continues to be the current administration\u2019s obsessive control of information, which manifests itself through the war on whistleblowers and journalists\u2019 sources, as well as the lack of government transparency, which reporters have continually criticized. The Obama administration has prosecuted more whistleblowers under the Espionage Act than all previous administrations combined. Jeffrey Sterling, a former CIA operative, was convicted solely on the basis of metadata in January 2015 of disclosing classified information to James Risen and is now serving a 3.5 year prison sentence.\nThe US presidential election has also been cause for concern. Since the primaries began last summer, journalists have seen their access to campaign events regularly restricted by candidates from both political parties and have been insulted and even bullied on social media. RSF is also still troubled by the arrest of journalists during #Blacklivesmatter protests in Baltimore and Minneapolis. \u201cThere is still room for improvement in the country of the First Amendment,\u201d says Delphine Halgand, RSF\u2019s US Director.\nPublished by RSF every year since 2002, the World Press Freedom Index measures the level of freedom of information in 180 countries using a series of indicators (pluralism, media independence, media environment and self-censorship, legislative framework, transparency, infrastructure, and abuses and acts of violence against journalists).\n2016 World Press Freedom Index \u00ad\u2013 leaders paranoid about journalists\n2016 World Press Freedom Index: a \u201cdeep and disturbing\u201d decline in media freedom",

Despite the recommendations of most practice guidelines imaging is still frequently performed. Relatively little is known about what patients believe is important when it comes to radiologic staging. Methods Patients with early stage breast cancer who had completed their definitive breast surgery were surveyed about their personal experiences, perceptions, and expectations on the issue of perioperative imaging for distant metastatic disease. Results Over a 3 month period, 245 women with primary operable breast cancer completed the questionnaire (87.0% response rate) and 80.8% indicated having had at least one imaging test for distant metastatic disease. These were either of the thorax (72.2%), abdomen (55.9%) or skeleton (65.3%) with a total of 701 imaging tests (average of 3.5 tests per patient imaged) performed. Overall, 57.1% indicated that they would want imaging done if the chance of detecting metastases was \u226410%. Although 80.0% of patients indicated that, \u201cdoing whatever their doctor recommended\u201d was important to them, 70.4% also noted that they would be uncomfortable if their physician did not order imaging, even if this was in keeping with practice guidelines. Conclusions Most patients with early stage breast cancer recall having imaging tests for distant metastases. Given the choice, most would prefer having imaging performed, even if this is not in line with current guidelines. If patient expectations are, in part, driving excessive imaging, new strategies addressing this are required.",

The name is still popular among today\u2019s fans who wave red and white flags with pictures of belligerent-looking pigs during games while shouting: \u201cWho are we? We are Meat!\u201d\nIn the 1930s the team became one of the Moscow\u2019s top squads thanks to the great game organization of the four Starostin brothers. One of them, Nikolay Starostin, a man with great charisma, became fascinated with a book on Spartacus, the leader of a slave revolt in ancient Rome.\nIn Soviet Russia Spartacus was seen as an example of the successful fight for the good of ordinary people, so when Starostin suggested that the club be called Spartak, the Communist Party officials in charge of sports did not object. Nikolay Starostin also invented the emblem for the club \u2013 a rectangle with a red and white stripe and the letter \u201cC\u201d (Russian S) inside. He remained the chairman of Spartak until his death in 1996.\nSpartak's rivals\nSpartak had tough rivals. CSKA had serious backing from the Army. Dynamo Moscow was the favorite of the police and KGB. Dynamo teams from Kiev and Tbilisi became the symbols of Ukraine and Georgia respectively. Even small Torpedo Moscow got its funds from the Moscow ZIL plant \u2013 a producer of trucks as well as luxury cars for top officials.\nSpartak, on the other hand, became a symbol of challenge against the large state institutions. And little-by-little it became the club with the largest number of fans in the USSR - as many as 15 million according to unofficial estimates.\nThe team won several titles and cups in the 1950s and 1960s. The most legendary players of Spartak at that time were Nikita Simonyan (1950s) and Gennady Logofet (1960s).\nIn 1976 Spartak finished the season in 15th place. This meant relegation to a lower league. Immediately after the end of the season some ministers appealed to the leadership of the country to let Spartak stay in the top division, taking into consideration its previous achievements.\nHowever, common sense prevailed; many people were afraid of setting a dangerous precedent that would violate fair play principles and Spartak was demoted. A year later however, the club made a comeback to the top division.\nAnd what a comeback it was! Right after the relegation, Nikolay Starostin invited Konstantin Beskov, a former Dynamo player, to coach the team. Fans did not welcome the move, as Dynamo Moscow was one of the principal Spartak rivals.\nStars of Spartak\nSpartak veterans team (Photo from http://www.spartak.com)\nBut the new coach managed to keep the best players from the old lineup (including defender Oleg Romantsev who would become Spartak\u2019s most successful coach in the 1990s) while enlisting the players that became the key to the future success of the team \u2013 Yury Gavrilov and Georgy Yartsev.\nThe latter was already 29 and before joining Spartak he enjoyed a quiet life in the city of Kostroma on the Volga River. Gavrilov and Yartsev became the striking force of the team that would win the 1979 championship. Following this victory Beskov was invited to coach the Soviet national team and in June 1980 he brought the USSR to victory over Brazil in Rio \u2013 an achievement few teams can boast of!\nIn the 1980s, it was time for another Spartak star to shine \u2013 Fyodor Cherenkov. The modest player from a worker\u2019s family with a unique striking talent became an idol for millions. Unfortunately he could not keep up with the competition for a place in the Soviet squad in the 1982 World Cup in Spain.\nThe tragic match of 1982\nOn 20 October 1982, Spartak played a home UEFA Cup game against FC Haarlem from the Netherlands. The stands of Moscow\u2019s Luzhniki Stadium were already covered with snow and ice. For most of the game Spartak led 1-0. Some people headed early for the exit. Only one gate was open.\nWhen Spartak scored the second goal two minutes before the end of the game some fans tried to return to the stadium to cheer with the team and collided with other fans who were on their way out. Official reports say that 66 people died and 300 were injured in the chaos that ensued.\nHowever, the authorities hushed up the tragedy. There was only one paragraph about the accident three days later in a sports newspaper. But fans from all clubs still come to Luzhniki stadium every October to commemorate the tragic event.\nSpartak fans at stadium (Photo from http://www.spartak.com)\nBy the end of 1980s Spartak clinched two more national titles. In 1991, after the collapse of the USSR, Spartak lost many of its rivals \u2013 top teams from Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia and Uzbekistan didn\u2019t want to compete in the Russian Championship and created their own leagues.\nUnlike other Russian clubs, Spartak managed to keep up the squad and began recruiting the best players from Russia as well as from former Soviet republics. Under coach Oleg Romantsev (1992 \u20132001) Spartak won nine Russian titles and reached the semifinals of the European Cup Winners\u2019 Cup in 1993 and the UEFA Cup in 1998.\nGoing private and downhill\nRomantsev was also behind the privatization of the club, which brought the enterprise some of the income from ticket sales and merchandising. However, at some point he started to ignore the opinion of specialists and supporters. During a press conference when challenged by fans over his management methods, Romantsev made the huge mistake of responding: \u201cSpartak is not the \u2018people\u2019s team\u2019 - it\u2019s mine.\u201d\nSpartak team during trainings. 2011 (Photo from http://www.spartak.com)\nAfter Spartak clinched its ninth consecutive national title in 2001, the quality of the game, as well as the management started to go down the hill \u2013 Spartak could no longer compete with the best clubs. In the 2002 European Champions League Spartak lost 5 out of 6 games with a 1-18 goal difference. The team\u2019s biggest disgrace was a 5-0 loss to Liverpool. Romantsev was forced to quit.\nRefueling the engine\nIn 2003 the team was purchased by Lukoil \u2013 one of Russia\u2019s biggest oil companies. One of its vice-presidents, Leonid Fedun, has the largest stake in the club. It was Fedun who supervised the acquisition of top players and it is thanks to his efforts that the team is now back on the list of top Russian clubs. For three years in a row, from 2005 to 2007, Spartak was ranked second in the league.\nIn 2009, after an uneventful season, the bosses of the club appointed Valery Karpin, a Spartak star in the 1990s, as the present acting coach. The quality of the game has greatly improved and attendance at the stadium is on the rise \u2013 20 thousand spectators at a regular game is a very good figure for the Russian league. Fans now have a reason to be confident that a new era of \u201cred-and-white-success\u201d is at hand.\nBoyar In Medieval Russia, the Boyars represented an aristocratic tier of society as well as a powerful group with the privilege of advising the Tsar on administrative issues.

        "raw_content": "RT.com / RT projects / Russiapedia / Prominent Russians / Literature / Sergei Dovlatov\nProminent Russians: Sergei Dovlatov\nSeptember 3, 1941- August 24, 1990\nSergei Dovlatov (image from www.museum.ru)\nSearching for life calling\nThe life of Sergei Donatovich Dovlatov, spent in creative search and full of contradictions, was rather short; he died in 1990 at the age of 48. Though short as it was, his life can still be divided into two periods.\nDovlatov was born on 3 September 1941 in the Eastern Russian city of Ufa, where his family had been evacuated to at the start of the World War II. His mother was Armenian, his father Jewish, and both had been part of the Leningrad artistic scene before the war (his mother was an actress, his father a theatre director). In 1944 the family moved back to Leningrad.\nUntil the age of 37, Sergei Dovlatov lived in his native country, the Soviet Union, and had to endure the pressure brought to bear on him by his ideological opponents who declared everything he wrote to be \u201cideologically hostile.\u201d Sergei Dovlatov spent the second period of his life in the United States where he became famous for his literary work.\nThroughout his life, Dovlatov tried to find an occupation that could be his calling. He spent the larger part of his life in Leningrad, where he studied foreign languages and literature, dropping out both times.\nSergei Dovlatov (image from www.kinoart.ru)\nHe was called-up for military service and assigned to guard criminal camps. He wrote that the world that surrounded him at that time was awful. That world revealed for the writer another side of life, which he would later use in his prison camp novel The Zone.\nHis job as a newspaper correspondent, and later as a guide, also provided him with rich experience. He made use of it in his novels Kompromis (\u201cThe Compromise\u201d) and Zapovednik (\u201cPushkin Hills\u201d).\nUnpublished in the USSR\nYet nothing came of his numerous attempts to publish his books in the Soviet Union. Literary critic Andrey Aryev, Dovlatov's friend, explained that it happened because one began thinking of who is who in Dovlatov's stories and could easily become confused and even upset. Why? Because everyday life appeared dull against the background of the scenes created by Dovlatov.\nAnother reason, according to the critic, was that the writer's opponents could not forgive him his strong feelings for anything that was absurd in life. His characters were strange in many respects, yet they had personality. The writer did not look down at them; instead it seems like he was observing them avoiding any categorical conclusions. His humor was like that of Chaplin, and his works were saturated with comedy, irony, love and compassion.\nEmigrating to the west\nIn 1976 Sergei Dovlatov's stories were published in three Western journals, \u201cTime,\u201d \u201cUs\u201d and\n(image from www.pismenny.com)\n\u201cContinent.\u201d For this reason, he was expelled from the Union of Journalists. The writer took the news with ironic calm. Three months before his death he wrote that looking back on his cheerless past he realized he was lucky since his literary debut was postponed for some 15 years and his early works, of which he could be later ashamed, did not see the light of day. After lengthy consideration he made the painful decision to emigrate.\nIn 1978 he left the Soviet Union, entering the United States the following year via Austria. He lived in New York where he published the liberal newspaper The New American and was a host at Radio Svoboda (Radio Liberty). He lived, worked and listened to jazz, which he adored.\nOne of his best novels written in the United States is Inostranka (\u201cA Foreign Woman\u201d) in which Dovlatov vividly portrays his milieu, commonly referred to as the Russian emigration of the \u201cthird wave.\u201d He knew very well the relations, conflicts and problems of his characters. He wrote that for five years he had been doing everything upside down and could not get used to it. In such a way he alluded to the differences between life in Russia and life in the United States, remarking on the fact that the fact the two countries lie in different hemispheres.\nSergei Dovlatov's life in the United States was not easy and carefree. Yet he had the opportunity to write what he wanted without thinking of the consequences. And he used this opportunity to its fullest. During the twelve years he lived in the U.S. his popularity boomed. He published twelve books in Russian, which have since been translated into 29 languages. The prominent poet Joseph Brodsky\nJosef Brodsky and Sergei Dovlatov\n(image from naviny.by)\nexplained that Dovlatov's books were easy to translate as the structure of his sentences did not complicate the work of the translator. Dovlatov won an award from the US Pen Club and his works were published The New Yorker, making him only the second Russian writer, after Vladimir Nabokov, to appear in the prestigious journal.\nFollowing the publication of the article, Kurt Vonnegut wrote to Dovlatov:\n\u201cDear Sergei Dovlatov! I love you too, but you have broken my heart. I was born in this country and fearlessly served it during the war, but I still haven't managed to sell a single story of mine to The New Yorker. And now you come, and\u2014bang!\u2014your story is published at once\u2026. I expect much from you and your work. You've got talent, which you are ready to give away to this mad country. We are happy you are here.\u201d\n'I want to be likened only to Chekhov'\nSergei Dovlatov began to write books before emigration yet unlike authors such as Solzhenitsyn and Brodsky his works were not published before his exile. Dovlatov emigrated to become a professional man of letters and was proud that he had reached his goal. He created a literary world of his own and an epigraph to it could be the words of the famous US poet Wallis Stevens: the world is absurd and people are dull.\n(image from www.kinoart.ru)\nThe poet Joseph Brodsky, who won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1987, was a great admirer of Dovlatov. \u201cHe is the only Russian writer whose works will be read all the way through,\u201d Brodsky once said, adding that he considered Dovlatov's popularity in the United States \u201cnatural\u201d and that he foresaw the writer becoming just as popular in his Russian homeland one day.\nBrodsky once wrote of Dovlatov:\n\u201cThe decisive thing is his tone, which every member of a democratic society can recognize: the individual who won't let himself be cast in the role of a victim, who is not obsessed with what makes him different.\u201d\nDovlatov\u2019s works finally began to be published in Russia in 1989 and his popularity reached almost cult status.\n\u201cI want to live to see the days when our dishonoured fatherland turned into scarecrow of the world, is revived; and these will be the days of rebirth of our long-suffering literature,\u201d Sergei Dovlatov wrote in his essay in 1982.\nCruelly, he died in 1990, just a year before the Soviet Union collapsed, at the age of 48, before he could soak in the widespread admiration of his countrymen, and without the chance to visit his homeland or document the changes it was rapidly undergoing.\nVasily Shukshin A famous Russian writer, film director and actor, Vasily Shukshin produced works focused on the simple, though dramatic lives of common people. Fyodor Sologub Fyodor Sologub is not a household name in Russia, but the man behind it - poet, essayist, dark dreamer and tortured soul - would most likely not have had it any other way. Pyotr Vyazemsky Prince Pyotr Vyazemsky was a critic, poet, translator and all-around man of letters. Konstantin Balmont Konstantin Balmont was a Russian poet, critic and translator. He was one of the first symbolist poets of the Silver Age of Russian literature. Mikhail Bulgakov Mikhail Bulgakov was a Russian novelist and playwright, known for his vivid satirical images of life in Russia and his novel The Master and Margarita. Yevgeny Baratynsky Yevgeny Baratynsky contributed to the Golden Age of Russian poetry, which reached its height in the 1820s.",

In obvious opposition to that statement, Daytop Village decided to create a fundraising event called the Strawberry Festival. And 21 years later, it's still going strong.\nOne of Manhattan's premier street fairs, the Strawberry Festival runs more than 10 blocks along Madison Avenue from 42nd to 55th Streets. The event will take place on Saturday, August 30 from 11 a.m. - 6 p.m. Attracting families, business people and passersby, the fair offers booths featuring food, jewelry, clothing, arts and crafts, and other items for sale.\nThis year Samaritan Village is collaborating with Daytop Village and its Family Association to put on the event. To get out the word about the importance of treatment and recovery, the organizations will have several booths at the festival, as will partner recovery groups and alumni associations. Damian Family Centers - a longtime partner of Samaritan Village - will be offering free blood pressure screenings at the event.\nEntertainment at the Strawberry Festival will feature musical performances at the bandstand on Madison Avenue at 48th Street. Popular recovery-oriented performers include singer/songwriter Kathy Moser and the ARC (Addicts Rehabilitation Center) Choir. The New York City Housing Association Youth Chorus will also perform.\nMark the Strawberry Festival on your calendar and come out to support this longstanding community street fair.",

        "raw_content": "Daily Racing Form: Heavenly Prize To Take Her Spot In Hall Of Fame\nThe mare won 9 times in 18 starts, and follows after her stablemate, Inside Information, who was inducted in 2008.\nAugust 1, 2018 by Jay Privman, Daily Racing Form\n(National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame)\nTheir careers overlapped, highlighted by a remarkable tag-team approach in 1995, and now, 10 years after the mare Inside Information was voted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame, stablemate Heavenly Prize will be enshrined, too, during ceremonies on Friday at the Fasig-Tipton Sales Pavilion in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., just around the corner from the Hall of Fame itself.\nHeavenly Prize, like Inside Information, was trained by Shug McGaughey. Heavenly Prize was owned and bred by Ogden Phipps, while Inside Information was owned and bred by his son, Ogden Mills \u201cDinny\u201d Phipps.\nBoth were foals of 1991, both were born at Claiborne Farm, and both raced at the highest levels after beginning their careers on Sept. 15, 1993, at Belmont Park, just two races apart, with lengthy maiden victories.\nIn 1995, they combined for eight Grade 1 victories \u2013 four apiece. Heavenly Prize won the Apple Blossom, Hempstead, Go For Wand, and John A. Morris, while Inside Information took the Shuvee, Ruffian, and Spinster before a powerhouse performance against Heavenly Prize in the Breeders\u2019 Cup Distaff, their only head-to-head meeting.\nInside Information, with 14 wins in 17 starts, went into the Hall of Fame in 2008. It took another decade for Heavenly Prize to take her rightful place alongside her stablemate.\nHeavenly Prize won nine times in 18 starts, and was a Grade 1 winner at ages 2, 3, and 4. She won the Frizette as a 2-year-old, then at age 3 captured the Alabama, Gazelle, and Beldame, victories that brought her the Eclipse Award as that year\u2019s champion 3-year-old filly. Her four additional Grade 1 victories at age 4 gave her a total of eight Grade 1 wins for her career.\nHeavenly Prize \u2013 a daughter of the Phipps family\u2019s Seeking the Gold out of the Nijinsky II mare Oh What A Dance \u2013 was the only horse, jockey, or trainer elected from the 10 finalists on this year\u2019s ballot.\nBut there are numerous other inductees this year, including the horse Preakness and the trainer William Lakeland, both chosen by the Hall of Fame\u2019s Historic Review Committee. In addition, Elias J. \u201cLucky\u201d Baldwin, August Belmont I, Cot Campbell, Penny Chenery, John W. Galbreath, Arthur B. Hancock Sr., Hal Price Headley, John Morrissey, Charles H. Strub, Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney, Harry Payne Whitney, and Williams Collins Whitney all are being inducted as Pillars of the Turf on the eve of the Whitney Stakes.\nJohn Hendrickson, the husband of prominent owner-breeder Marylou Whitney and the president of the museum, will make an announcement regarding a project \u201cintended to revolutionize the Hall of Fame,\u201d according to a press release from the Hall of Fame.\n\u201cThis initiative is not only going to forever change the experience at the museum but will affect every past and future Hall of Famer,\u201d Hendrickson said. \u201cIt will be the most important thing that our industry has done for this sport in our lifetimes.\u201d\nHendrickson and his wife have pledged $1 million to the project, the Hall of Fame said.\nKenny Rice of NBC Sports will be the emcee for the inductions. The ceremony begins at 10:30 a.m. Eastern and is open to the public, but the Hall of Fame advises that seating is limited. Doors open to the sales pavilion at 9 a.m.\nThe ceremony will be live-streamed on the museum\u2019s website, www.racingmuseum.org.",

        "raw_content": "Extracts from the NeverEnding Story can be found throughout the hallways on Falkor.SOI / Ronald Spelz Madero\nI remember well having watched the movie \u201cThe NeverEnding Story\u201d when I was only a teenager. At the time, I was only that: a teenager with a volatile mind who did not seemed to have grasped the inspiring message hidden deep inside it. That has changed during the course of this expedition. Written in big letters on an inside corridor wall on the R/V Falkor is an excerpt from the book on which this movie was based, which says: \u201cSometimes the house of change will have its little jokes, and then the rooms are suddenly reversed, the floor on top and the ceiling at the bottom, that sort of thing. But it is only being bumptious and it stops when I give it a piece of my mind. All in all, it\u2019s a very well behaved house and I feel very comfortable in it. We have good laughs together.\u201d\nThat is right, I thought when I read it. Life itself could be \u2013 metaphorically speaking \u2013 the house of change in which every one of us lives in, whereas the jokes, well, these are the ups and downs in everyone\u2019s life. Though sometimes we struggle in coping with changes, the key is not to resist them but to accept them. After all, nothing in the house of change is permanent, right? What does anything of this has to do with our expedition, you might ask?\nWell, many things in this ship are named after the characters of The NeverEnding Story. From the vessel Falkor itself, the remotely operated vehicle SuBastian, to the jet-drive boat Auryn, these leading characters are now involved in a NeverEnding Quest in Modern Ocean Exploration. This time we are studying and mapping in an unprecedented millimeter scale resolution at a very peculiar hydrothermal vent field located in the southwest corner of the southern Pescadero Basin in the Gulf of California. The opening of the gulf initiated when the Baja California peninsula began to rupture away from mainland Mexico around 12.5 million years ago. Today, the Gulf of California is a leading example of a transtensional plate boundary characterized by an array of en-echelon transforms faults connecting a series of pull-apart basins.\nTectonic map of the Pacific-North American plate boundary along the Gulf of California, showing the main pull-apart basins (red) connected by strike-slip faults (yellow).Ronald Spelz Madero\nA distinctive band of seismic activity along the entire gulf axis confirms the shearing between the Pacific and North American plates.\nSeismotectonic framework of the Gulf of California. Confetti balls are color-coded and are plotted to represent the seismic events from 1970 to 2017 (data source is from the Incorporated Research Institute for Seismology, IRIS).Ronald Spelz Madero\nThe Pescadero complex is comprised by two strongly asymmetric pull-apart basins resulting from the combination of right-lateral shearing and perpendicular extension along a series of right-stepping transform faults.\nRelief map showing the location of the Pescadero basin complex in the southern Gulf of California.Ronald Spelz Madero\nThis type of deformation, referred as transtension, is the mechanism responsible for the ascent and injection of hot molten magma across the thick sedimentary cover that fill the basins. Magma intrusions (or sills as they are known) provide the heat energy that ultimately drives the hydrothermal processes that we see in the surface. With the data collected from this expedition, we expect to learn more on the interrelationship between transform faulting and seafloor spreading in the southern Gulf of California. In time, we anticipate to build a model for the sedimentary and tectonic evolution of the Pescadero basin. This model will reveal, step by step, the series of changes through which this small corner of our planet has gone through. Our planet also changes!\nDr. Ronald Spelz Madero aims to characterize the kinematics and past rupture history of several important fault systems in northern Baja California.",

        "raw_content": "Brian Posehn Interview: The \u2018Five-Year Engagement\u2019 Star Talks Nerd Rage and Pickles\nJennings Roth Cornet\nLovable comedian Brian Posehn (televisions \u2018The Sarah Silverman Program\u2019 and \u2018Just Shoot Me\u2019) takes a turn as Tarquin a well-intentioned but wholly inappropriate pickle expert in \u2018The Five-Year Engagement,\u2019 the latest comedy from Jason Segel and Nicholas Stoller.\nWe had the opportunity to speak with the Posehn, one of our favorite comedians, in Los Angeles recently and discussed pickle and puppet training, what it takes to create a successful rom-com and the invention of nerd rage.\nThere are a lot of romantic comedies made each year, but very few of them are either legitimately funny, or legitimately romantic. Why do you think that is?\nWell, there\u2019s a reason that guys look down on a lot of those movies and they\u2019re called chick flicks. It\u2019s because they may only play to the female fantasy, you know what I mean? Not that all girls have that fantasy. But a lot of these movies are kind of cookie cutter where it\u2019s the girl wants Guy A, and then she chooses Guy B because he\u2019s ultimately better than the Guy A. Who cares?\nWhat\u2019s so great about Judd Apatow movies and also Nick\u2019s movies is that they create relatable characters and they create relatable situations, and I think they never wanted to make anything false, and so that\u2019s where this comes from. I don\u2019t know if they\u2019ve gone through this, but it felt real.\nSure and there are quite a few people who have gone through similar situations, in fact.\nAbsolutely. My engagement process was only about a year, but I know people where this has happened, where life kind of gets in the way. Maybe you can\u2019t afford it, other things will come up, jobs or whatever, and next thing you know, your friends have been engaged for three or four years.\nI think that one of the other things that\u2019s really working for \u2018The five-Year Engagement\u2019 is that the issue in the relationship is the push/pull between each of their careers, which is something I see happening for a lot of people.\nYes, I feel like this movie it\u2019s really organic. As a guy I definitely identify with Jason. You know, I have a wife who, luckily we both are career driven, but if there would have been a point where she said, \u2018I\u2019ve got to do this,\u2019 I would have let her. I would be selfless, I would do what he does. But then there\u2019s another part of you that wants to follow your dream. So it kind of makes sense in this movie where that becomes a wedge in the relationship. It doesn\u2019t come from nowhere.\nWell my understanding is that Nicholas Stoller likes to keep things very organic on-set and he had you do some pickle training so that you would have the expertise that your character does. Is that right?\nI had to do puppet training, too!\nPuppets? Why puppets? Pickle puppets?\nThere was a scene that didn\u2019t make it to the final cut (but I think it\u2019ll make it to the DVD because it\u2019s hilarious) in which Jason takes mushrooms with the young girlfriend he has, and they have Thanksgiving together and he hallucinates and I did the voice of the turkey. So, early on Nick said \"Hey, I want to send you to puppet training, and the other thing, for Tarquin, is I want you to do some research on pickles.\" And so I was a little intimidated, I was like, \"Oh god, I\u2019ve got to go on the Internet and read about pickles?\"\nTurns out, there\u2019s not a lot of information about pickles on the Internet. But oddly enough I had an old friend in New York who works at a pickle store. So I went in with all this great pickle knowledge, and then wound up not really using it. There\u2019s the one scene where I talk about pickling different things, and that was all just improvised, you know, I pickle my weed, I pickle this, I pickle the batteries\u2026\nPickle the cat.\nYep. But none of the actual research Nick had me do played into it. I think he had a couple people do things. I know Chris (Parnell) had to look at how to gut a deer. And then didn\u2019t\u2019 have to use any of that in the actual movie.\nYou give a wildly inappropriate toast at a wedding in the film; did that come from any real world experience in your life?\nYes. I was at a wedding a couple years back and this guy, he\u2019s like a cousin of the groom, comes up to me and says, \"you\u2019re a comedian.\" I said, \"yeah.\" And he says \"I want to give this toast, what do you think?\" And he goes, \"marriage is about honor, you\u2019ve gotta get on her and stay on her.\" And he goes, \"should I do it?\" I was thinking no but I went, \"yes, of course, whatever you think!\" And he did it and it was (laughing)...it just killed the moment. It was so awkward.\nOh that is so wrong. Let me ask you, did you coin the phrase nerd rage with your debut comedy album or had you heard it?\nI feel like I did.\nI feel like you did, too.\nYeah, there\u2019s a roller derby girl that goes by that name, nerd rage, and she named herself after my album. I mean when I said it the first time, I had never heard it before. And I feel like a lot of nerds have that. But nerd rage to me is kind of just empty rage. I mean ultimately you\u2019re not going to do it, you\u2019re not going to fight somebody, you know. It\u2019s just kind of this anger that\u2019s built up from all these years of taking sh-t from people. But ultimately it\u2019s harmless, you know. The story I tell on the record is totally true and the fact is that I screamed in my car at these guys but my windows were rolled up. So these jocks, there was no danger of them hearing what I was yelling at them. They just looked and saw this red-faced weirdo screaming in his car.\n\u2018The Five-Year Engagement\u2019 opens in theaters this Friday, April 27th.\nFiled Under: Brian Posehn, The Five Year Engagement",

        "raw_content": "The Craft Reboot Getting Rewrite from 10 Cloverfield Lane Writer\nFans of the cult supernatural horror film The Craft (a movie concerning witchcraft and all things supernatural) may be excited to find out that developing Craft remake/reboot is slated to receive a rewrite from none other than 10 Cloverfield Lane co-writer Daniel Casey. Fans of the original 1990s movie may well remember the Andrew Fleming-directed drama, involving four teenage girl outcasts who collectively try their hands at witchcraft, with unintended and disastrous results.\nFollowing its initial theatrical release from distributor Columbia Pictures in 1996, The Craft grossed $55 million in ticket sales at the box office on a total budget of $15 million. Since that time, the film has garnered a significant cult following, thus cementing its status as a bonafide cult-classic - making any and all updates concerning its remake/reboot all the more worth noting.\nAccording to The Tracking Board, Casey has just been tapped to provide a rewrite to the script for The Craft remake/reboot, following the completion of a script draft overseen by director Leigh Janiak. With recent reports stating that Janiak intends for her followup to the original 1996 film to be more of a sequel than a remake or reboot - with Columbia Pictures studio heads already having been won over by Janiak's pitch for a new movie centered around female empowerment - things are arguably looking up for this new take on The Craft.\nGiven that Casey is something of a hot commodity in Hollywood at the present moment, the fact that The Craft returning producers Doug Wick and Columbia Pictures executive Lucy Fisher have cornered his talents to rewrite the movie means that their is definite interest in the remake from the studio. Whether or not fans of the Fleming-directed original feature will be excited by the opportunity to revisit the cult-classic some twenty-plus years later remains to be seen, but with any luck the movie will manage to draw an audience of those both intimately acquainted and unfamiliar with the 1996 original.\nOnly time will tell how well production proceeds in the making of The Craft remake as directed by Janiak, but with 10 Cloverfield Lane script doctor Casey hard at work on a rewrite, things are decidedly moving forward in the right direction on the upcoming film. In the meantime, here's to hoping for the very bets from Janiak, Casey, and company.\nNEXT: 15 Fantasy Remakes You Didn't Know Were in the Works\nScreen Rant will keep you updated with any information related to The Craft.\nTags: the craft",

To comply with anti-spam laws, the new newsletter service requires that you click on the above link to alert me you are \"electing to continue receiving\" your free Sequoia Advisor subscription.

Prolonged \"rat racing\" causes cortisol, a stress hormone, to build-up in the body and change the way your immune, cardiovascular and digestive systems work. Here are some of the telltale signs of cortisol build-up; having trouble losing or maintaining a healthy weight; tiredness and lack of energy; high blood pressure and frequent colds, flu or other chronic illnesses. Meditation is a little used tool that quiets your mind, reduces cortisol levels, improves how you look and feel while increasing your health.\nIn an article by Ed Yeates of KSL News and Radio in Salt Lake City, UT called Studies Showing Meditation Helps Stress, he says \"Research groups apparently agree, coming on board with studies funded by the National Institutes of Health, The American Journals of Hypertension and Cardiology, The Journal - Stroke, The New England Journal of Medicine - all publishing studies. The most recent by The American Heart Association shows heart and artery health improved 69 percent in test groups trained to practice a consistent technique for meditation.\"\nClick here >> to read more about the health benefits of Meditation\nSolution...Start meditating on a daily basis. Meditation is a great way to calm your mind, reduce stress, lower blood pressure and help prevent unhealthy weight gain. Meditation is a pleasant and easy way to start the day. To begin, find a quiet spot, sit in a comfortable chair with your feet flat on the ground. Close your eyes and allow your mind to calm and slow down. The sensation of \"drifting\" is a good indicator of relaxation. If you have trouble, concentrate on a candle flame or your breath as a way to center your attention.\nHaving trouble starting your meditation program? I have been practicing meditation for 15 years and would love to help you get started. Most people can begin to successfully meditate in as little as three to four 30 minute sessions.\nPlease give me a call at 703-464-5171 or email me at Woody@SequoiaHealth.com to schedule a personalized instruction session.\nWhat Should I Do to Get Ready for\nThe big talk these days is what to do about the bird flu, also known as the avian flu. The bird flu is a strain of Influenza Type A that affects both wild and domestic birds. It is similar but different than the strains that affect humans during the\n\"flu season.\" According to the Center for Disease Control \"Symptoms of avian influenza in humans have ranged from typical human influenza-like symptoms (e.g., fever, cough, sore throat, and muscle aches) to eye infections, pneumonia, severe respiratory diseases (such as acute respiratory distress), and other severe and life-threatening complications.\"\nThe CDC goes on to say \"Most cases of avian influenza infection in humans have resulted from contact with infected poultry (e.g., domesticated chicken, ducks, and turkeys) or surfaces contaminated with secretion/excretions from infected birds. The spread of avian influenza viruses from one ill person to another has been reported very rarely, and transmission has not been observed to continue beyond one person.\"\nSolution...the best offense for bird flu is going to be a good defense. Do not rely on vaccines or fancy solutions that come out of a bottle; trust me on this one. Allow your immune system to work the way it was designed by controlling both mental and physical stress. You?ve heard me say it a hundred different times, a hundred different ways. The best way to strengthen your immune system and prevent illness of any kind is to live a balanced lifestyle. That means:\n1. Keep Your Stress Levels Low and Make Sure You're Having Fun\n2. Get Regular Physical Activity That You Find Enjoyable\n3. Eat a Wide Variety of Healthy Foods and Take Vitamins and Minerals When Appropriate\nEven though it seems obvious, it always comes back to the same strategy. Have fun, eat right and stay physically active. Simple and effective.\nHere is a fun little quiz. When they report about bird flu they say it has the potential to be our next pandemic. What does pandemic mean?\nFresh Start is a revolutionary way of helping you achieve strength, vitality and good health in less time and with less effort.

I\u2019m probably more of a health nut than I need to be, but it\u2019s mostly because I\u2019m instigated to resist the takeover of our food system by stateless corporations who simply refuse to be held accountable to anyone while poisoning everyone in the name of \u201cfeeding the world.\u201d I probably use militaristic language when talking about Big Food and their ilk; but they use militaristic tactics. Not that this is eye-for-an-eye; it\u2019s more like to call a spade a spade, you have to use appropriate language.\nYou have a really good point, though, about employers\u2019 invasion of personal health. Not only does it seem, well, violating, but if we\u2019re expected to keep work and \u201clife\u201d separate (which I feel is an unhealthy division but that\u2019s for another time), why should they basically have access to our medical records? I mean, if I was deathly allergic to something, it might nice that my employer knows that, but beyond that is a categorical confusion of roles, I think.\nYou\u2019re also totally right about the cultural obsession with \u201chealth,\u201d which really isn\u2019t health at all because it only focuses on how one appears to others for the most part. And we all know how accurate that air-brushed ideal is. Something else that\u2019s not biblical, either, is worry, especially the compulsive worry that we\u2019ve now made people feel guilty for NOT feeling over their \u201chealth\u201d. It\u2019s not just a suggestion, \u201cdo not worry,\u201d it\u2019s a command. Like \u201cdo not steal.\u201d Anyway, I appreciate your thoughts, and the underlying frustration, disappointment and hurt underneath them as well. This isn\u2019t to fix anything for you or to suggest one more thing you should or shouldn\u2019t do, but I have found these guys to be healing for me in my fear-fueled, panic-y approach to every single meal.

        "raw_content": "Title: Aboriginal health workers: Role, recognition, racism and horizontal violence in the workplace\nAuthors: Winsor-Dahlstrom, Josephine\nKeywords: health workforce\nhorizontal violence\nAbstract: The aim of this project is to explore the role of the Aboriginal Health Worker, their recognition as a legitimate profession and the current racism most will face in the current New South Wales Health System. The position of the Aboriginal Health Worker was introduced to improve the consultation process with Aboriginal people about their health. It was also introduced to address their specific cultural needs around health. Anecdotal reports from the field by various Aboriginal Health Workers show that these objectives have, in large, not been met. A preliminary review into the literature was conducted which includes important discussions and studies into the history and development of the Aboriginal Health Worker role. This review is not placed in a single chapter, but is strategically placed throughout the thesis to demonstrate the impact of this development and history upon the different issues of role, recognition, racism and horizontal violence. This project uses a qualitative approach using a descriptive study design. A sample of five selected participants of who were all ex-Aboriginal Health Workers joined the research project. The qualitative method of theme extraction was employed for data analysis which led to the emergence of themes which were grouped and compared to each other. The findings were contrasted with relevant literature in the field to fully understand the phenomenon under study and explore why objectives regarding Aboriginal Health Workers continue not to be met, despite Health Service Management rhetoric. The five ex-Aboriginal Health Workers were interviewed, in-depth, to provide information on the recognition, role and racism difficulties they faced at work. They were selected from five different Area Health Services so that the sample remains relatively heterogeneous. This ensures a record experiences from as wide a variety of work environments as possible in the sample. The interviews reveal a deep sense of shame and hurt experienced by the Aboriginal Health Workers caused by both their communities and their employers. The paper presents the story of the despair experienced by those interviewed and shows examples of promised recommendations to facilitate the future recognition and contribution of the Aboriginal Health Worker. Limitations of the methodology and implications for further study are also discussed.\nWINSOR-DAHLSTROM_J_2000_ABORIGINAL.pdf 9.95 MB Adobe PDF View/Open",

He is the founder of the Military Veterans Club at the NYU Stern School of Business and is the subject of the documentary film \u201cSevere Clear.\u201d\n(CNN) \u2014 As we march into another hectic holiday season, past Veterans Day and past the ceremony in which Staff Sgt. Salvatore Giunta became the first living recipient of the Medal of Honor since the Vietnam War, it is a good time to pause and to reflect on this.\nThere is something extraordinary about young men like Giunta and the seven others who, posthumously, were awarded the Medal of Honor by Congress as a result of their actions in wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.\nThese men see the world differently than we do. Their actions go far beyond the duty to which they swore, right hands held high, at 18 or 19 years old, just before shipping off to boot camp. They go far beyond the level of courage it takes just to stand your ground in combat, weapon in hand, returning fire and facing the enemy who is trying to kill you.\nThese eight men were the selfless. The angels and saints of our time.\nAs the bullets rip the air around your head in combat, instincts that stretch back for millennia almost compel you to seek preservation behind or inside of something strong and safe. Cover is what it is called. A rock. Or a trench. Or a small bump in the terrain. Anything that will stop the bullets and jagged pieces of shrapnel from tearing your flesh and smashing your bones.\nBut men like Giunta choose to leave the relative safety of cover and charge into danger. They choose to expose themselves to a high probability of death or grave injury. And they do so because their buddies are in trouble. Because when you fight together and face death together and risk your lives for each other, there is nothing that can pull you apart. Your souls become fused like armor.\nIt takes just a few seconds from the time the pin is pulled on a hand grenade until it detonates. A few seconds for it to be tossed, whirl through the air and come to rest near a few pairs of dusty boots and the tired warriors who are wearing them.\nBut three men \u2014 U.S. Marine Cpl. Jason Dunham, Army Pfc. Ross McGinniss and Navy Petty Officer Michael Monsoor \u2014 each confronted by that situation in battle, unhesitatingly chose within those few fateful seconds to dive onto the explosive device, their bodies absorbing the blast and the shrapnel, saving the lives of their buddies.\nEach of the three was awarded the Medal of Honor posthumously: Dunham in 2007, McGinniss and Monsoor in 2008.\nFew of us will ever be as selfless or as brave as these men. But if we, running through the course of our busy lives, can display just a fraction of the unselfishness and courage that they have demonstrated, it will help to make the world better.\nSo this holiday season, while you are fighting the crowds and fighting the traffic and it all seems so stressful and utterly important, take a moment to think about what these young men did for their buddies, and for all of us. And the next time you have simmering thoughts of maybe going to volunteer for something good that builds lives or makes things right or helps others, please do it.\nBecause men and women on the battlefield have only seconds to make their decisions. We, however, have a lifetime.\nThe opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Mike Scotti.\nSemper Fidelis!!!

This mysterious and sombre mountain provides views of the cities below - Ostrava, Havirov and Frydek-Mistek. At the same time you can see other Beskydy peaks - Radho\u0161\u0165 , Velk\u00fd Javorn\u00edk, (Big Javornik), Travn\u00fd (Grassy) and Smrk (Spruce). As a bonus, the Slovakia mountains of Mala Fatra and the rocky peaks of the High Tatras are also visible..\nMany routes lead off the top of Lysa hora. Most people come from Ostravice, which can be accessed by train from Ostrava or Frydek-Mistek. Even by bicycle you can take many paths but only one is sealed all the way to the top and that is from a place called Pape\u017eov in the village of Kr\u00e1sn\u00e1 (Beautiful). So for riders on road bikes there is no other option. Perfectly maintained cross-country ski trails lead here in winter. Ski mountaineers climb the peak even if there is no snow anywhere else. True climbing stars practice(d) here for many extreme expeditions into the mountains including the conqueror of Mount Everest, Leopold Sulovski.\nLysa hora is a place which is governed by different weather conditions than in the valley. In 1911, the largest snowfall in the history of the Czech Republic was measured here at 491cm!\nOn the very top of the mountain is located a mountain rescue centre, meteorological station as well as the landmark point of the radio transmitter, which is 78 meters tall. There has been a shelter named Albrecht Habsburg here since 1880. Today there are newly opened mountain chalets such as Bezru\u010dova chata and the Emil Zatopek hut.\nRestaurant Penzion Jur\u00e1\u0161ek\nLet our chefs make you a fish you caught yourself in the local fishing pond",

        "raw_content": "Napoleon\u2019s ghost pops up from time to time\nGiven the huge influence that Napoleon Bonaparte had during his lifetime, it\u2019s not surprising that his ghost has popped up from time to time since his death. The Museum of The Black Watch has transcribed a letter describing a British soldier\u2019s encounter with Napoleon\u2019s ghost during the removal of Napoleon\u2019s remains from St. Helena to France in 1840. Albert Dieudonn\u00e9, who played Napoleon in Abel Gance\u2019s 1927 film of that name, talked about spooking a night watchman at the Ch\u00e2teau de Fontainebleau who claimed to be visited by Napoleon\u2019s ghost. The following story about Napoleon\u2019s ghost first appeared in British newspapers in January 1832.\nAt the Mansion House on Saturday, M. Pierre de Blois, a French gentleman who resides in chambers in Leadenhall Street, was summoned before the Lord Mayor for beating Rafael Spaglietti, an image seller, and breaking a very fine bust of Napoleon Buonaparte.\nIt appeared that the Italian went upstairs to the defendant\u2019s room door, at the top of which there was a glass; he raised up the head of the image, which was made of pale clay, to the glass and said softly, \u2018buy my ghost of Napoleon.\u2019 M. de Blois, who had known the Emperor, thought he saw his ghost, and exclaiming \u2018Oh, Christ, save us!\u2019 fell on the floor in a fit. The Italian, seeing no chance of a sale that day, went away and returned the next. M. de Blois, in the meantime, had recovered from his fit, and hearing how his terror had been excited, felt so indignant that the moment he saw Spaglietti at his door the next day, he flew at him and tumbled him and the Emperor downstairs together.\nIt happened that a confectioner\u2019s man was that moment coming upstairs with a giblet pie to a Mr. Wilson, who resided in the chambers, and the Emperor and the Italian, in their descent, alighted on his tray, which broke their fall and saved the Italian\u2019s head, but could not save Napoleon\u2019s, which was totally destroyed \u2013 the giblet pie also suffered so much from the collision that Mr. Wilson refused to have anything to do with it. After a good deal of explanation by the parties, and a good deal of laughter amongst the auditors, M. de Blois agreed to pay for the pie, and Mr. Wilson generously paid for the loss of the Emperor. (1)\nDid Napoleon believe in ghosts?\nFor the answer, see my post about whether Napoleon was superstitious. Charlotte Bront\u00eb seemed to think so. She wrote a short story called \u201cNapoleon and the Spectre\u201d (published in The Green Dwarf, 1833), which you can read for free on Project Gutenberg.\nProvidence Patriot (Providence, Rhode Island), March 28, 1832. British papers carried a longer account.\n10 commments on \u201cNapoleon\u2019s Ghost\u201d\nIt is important that de Blois was said to have known the Emperor. Whether it was true or not, this comment lends credibility to de Blois\u2019 extraordinary response.\nIndeed! I haven\u2019t been able to ascertain what Pierre de Blois\u2019s connection with Napoleon was. Maybe another reader will know.\nYour website is wonderful and I love reading your articles. But I have one question you may have not looked into on your site. if so I did not see it.\nWhy did Napoleon put his hand in his pocket? His right hand?\nPlease take a look at the following men from history and compare\nStalin, Lenin, Wagner, General Sherman, McClellan, George Washington, Marquis de Lafayette, Marx, and hundreds of others.\nAll these men did the exact same thing.\nSo I just wondered your opinion.\nThanks, Jeff. I\u2019m glad you\u2019re enjoying the site. The \u201chand-in-waistcoat\u201d has been considered a fashionable pose for gentleman\u2019s portraits at various times in history, which is why you find so many examples of it. Tom Holmberg provides more details about this on the Napoleon Series: http://www.napoleon-series.org/faq/c_hand.html.\nThank you for explaining his gesture Mrs Selin!\nExcellent post. So much more to this historic figure than I thought I\u2019d ever know\nRosanne Stinchcombe says:\nHe\u2019s far too busy haunting France to be bothered with the likes of us Brits !\nM. de Blois, who had known the Emperor, thought he saw his ghost, and exclaiming \u2018Oh, Christ, save us!\u2019 fell on the floor in a fit.\nProvidence Patriot",

They send some people here with a camera and they do the interview from my house. Why? \u2018Cause I\u2019m too old to be travelling around. And if you want to talk to me, come to me\u201d.\n\u201cI\u2019ve been called paranoid, schizophrenic, the wild child of Silicon Valley. But I\u2019m an entrepreneur. I always have been. I am curious and I enjoy solving problems\u201d.\n\u201cMarketing is making sure that innovation actually sees the light of day. So much innovation does not because there\u2019s no marketing. Or the marketing is imperfect. You know if I market something, it sees the light of day\u201d.\n\u201cMost of my bosses also used drugs of some kind. I was in the tech field, after all, we were the leading edge in technology and the leading age in personal experimentation.\nI had to hide it from my mother and sometimes from my wife. But in the work environment \u2013 depending on where you worked \u2013 in some companies, drugs were taken openly at lunchtime in people\u2019s offices. It was a bizarre time\u201d.\n\u201cIt was 1984, the last time that I took drugs, drank alcohol or sold drugs for that matter. I simply stopped. I started going to an organization called Alcoholics Anonymous\u2026 and that was my last taste of that world\u201d.\n\u201cIf you own the facts, you may distort them as you like\u201d.\n\u201cEvery other president has been controlled by either the Democratic party or the Republican party or by their major donors. Trump just is Trump. His tweeting for example \u2013 he doesn\u2019t ask anybody what to tweet \u2013 he just tweets. That\u2019s his uniqueness\u201d.\n\u201cDebate with Trump? He\u2019s got way too many advisers but it depends on the subjects. If it was the relative talents of Bangkok prostitutes versus Philippine prostitutes, I would win\u201d.\n\u201cThe act of finding and creating the president \u2013 that\u2019s what changes America.

And sometimes true beauty as well\u201d.\n\u201cWe\u2019re missing that. We\u2019re missing the people who have the courage to walk into the wilderness just to see what\u2019s there.\u201d\n\u201cThere\u2019s always going to be someone who likes you and someone who dislikes you.

He was a strong supporter of civil rights and also of women\u2019s suffrage. Twain is sometimes confused with \u201cColonel Sanders\u201d because of his white hair and smart mustache, but I can assure you, Mark Twain never made a living out of fried chicken! Twain died in 1910 of heart failure and was buried in Elmira, New York.\nProcrastination: \u201cthe action of delaying or postponing something.\u201d We\u2019ve all been guilty of procrastination. Schoolwork, chores, work assignments, cooking dinner, laundry; these are some of the many things that are easy to put off until later. To the human brain, it may sometimes seem that if we put something off long enough, we won\u2019t have to do it. Unfortunately, this is not how it actually works. We put it off, and put it off, until it\u2019s the last minute and we find ourselves scrambling to get it all done. It\u2019s a pretty horrible feeling, one that I know all too well!\nWhen we postpone something for too long, we end up rushing, not doing the job right, and sometimes not even finishing it at all! Although procrastination is much easier to choose at first, it makes things twice as hard for us later.\nAs Twain\u2019s wise words suggest, the best way to get ahead is by just \u201cstarting.\u201d If it\u2019s something we know we have to do, we might as well get started, and the sooner it will be finished! Even if we don\u2019t have time to finish it all in one sitting, we just have to start.\nIf there is something that you\u2019ve been putting off this week, I am here to encourage you to begin today! It probably won\u2019t be as bad as it seems. All you have to do is begin, and so I am not being hypocritical, I, myself, will also be starting something that I have been putting off. I will be working on a sewing project that is due in a week and will try my best to leave procrastination out of the picture, before it\u2019s too late and I\u2019m threading bobbins at 4am. . . again!\nIs there something that you\u2019ve been putting off?\nDo you have any advice to eliminate procrastination?\nHave you read any books by Mark Twain?\nQuote of the Week // 42nd Week\nOctober 17, 2017 October 17, 2017 by Simply Megan Joy9 Comments on Quote of the Week // 42nd Week\nOften times I plan to accomplish too many things in one day. I declare to myself that I will sew an entire historical dress in one day or finish writing a book. I tend to overestimate what can be accomplished in a day, therefore when the day is done, it becomes dissatisfying because I didn\u2019t complete everything I set out to do.\nIt\u2019s hard to know which goals to set every day when you have a million of them racing around in your head, each one fighting to win your attention at the finish line. When you have a huge amount of goals, which ones should you tackle today and what should you set aside for another day? How do you know how much is possible to achieve in one day? Are you setting yourself up to fail if you try to complete everything? These are tricky questions!\nTo try to answer them, let\u2019s get rid of the one-day deadline mindset. Instead, let\u2019s broaden our time limit to a week or a month. Then, create a physical list of all your goals and impending accomplishments. We can divide them between the days in a week or in a month (depending on how many goals you want to set) and then begin with just a few goals on day one! Then you have a clear idea of how much you can get done, what should be done first, and what can wait for another day.\nWhen your goals and your schedule don\u2019t seem to work together, you can\u2019t just stop life with a little button so you have time to achieve your goals (but that would be really awesome if you could!). However, this doesn\u2019t mean that you must then cut down on the goals either. Distributing your goals evenly throughout the duration of a week or a month will create an easier way to keep track of your goals. It may take some special planning, but you don\u2019t always have to sacrifice your goals just because your day is filled with too many things. So instead of perpetually focusing on all the goals you want to achieve, you can divide them, and focus on what you can do today. Doing this makes it seem possible to get everything done, because it is possible!\nEcclesiastes 3:1 \u201cTo everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the Heaven: KJV\nDo you find yourself overestimating what you can achieve in a day?\nAre you often overwhelmed by the many goals you wish to accomplish?\nDo you have any other suggestions to help achieve goals and tasks?\nP.S. Don\u2019t forget to enter the giveaway if you haven\u2019t already! The giveaway closes on Wednesday at midnight!",

        "raw_content": "We Don\u2019t Know When the War on al-Qaida Will End\u2014or When It Began\nIn this photo reviewed by US military officials, a member of the US military mans the guard post before sunrise at Camp Delta, part of the US Detention Center in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, March 30, 2010.\nA frequent line of criticism of the \u201cwar on terrorism\u201d framework that the United States has operated under for the past 17 years is that it\u2019s not clear what would need to happen for this \u201cwar\u201d to end. But now it appears it\u2019s not clear when the \u201cforever war\u201d began, either.\nAs Carol Rosenberg of the Miami Herald reports, a military judge at Guantanamo Bay ruled this week that the United States was already engaged in armed conflict with al-Qaida at the time of the 9/11 attacks. Attorneys for Mustafa al-Hawsawi, a Saudi detainee at Guantanamo who is on trial alonside alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and several other defendants, had filed a motion to dismiss charges against their client. They argued that Hawsawi\u2019s alleged offenses\u2014helping some of the hijackers with funding and travel to the United States\u2014took place before the U.S. was formally at war with al-Qaida. Therefore, they reasoned, he should not be charged by the military commission.\nIn his ruling on the motion, which was obtained and published by Just Security, the judge, Army Col. James L. Pohl, wrote that it is \u201cunnecessary to decide a date certain for the commencement of hostilities\u201d and that for the purposes of this ruling, armed conflict between the United States and al-Qaida existed \u201cas of September 11, 2001, and for an indeterminate period before that date.\u201d\nThis makes some sense. Osama Bin Laden issued his fatwa titled \u201cDeclaration of War against the Americans Occupying the Land of the Two Holy Places\u201d in 1996, which Rosenberg notes is what prosecutors in this case consider the war\u2019s starting point. Al-Qaida carried out attacks against the U.S. embassy in Africa in 1998 and the USS Cole in Yemen in 2000. The U.S. conducted missile strikes against al-Qaida targets in Sudan and Afghanistan in 1998.\nBut still, it\u2019s a strange assertion. As attorney Steve Vladeck asks, \u201c[H]ow many people (even inside the U.S. government) would seriously have thought, on September 10, 2001, that the United States was engaged in an ongoing armed conflict with al Qaeda?\u201d What\u2019s more, \u201cBlind Sheikh\u201d Omar Abdel Rahman and his co-conspirators in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing were convicted in civilian courts. (Bin Laden, then a little-known figure in the U.S., was identified but not indicted by the government as a potential co-conspirator in that attack.) Had the 9/11 attacks not occurred, and had Congress not passed an authorization for the use of military force against its perpetrators several days later, it stands to reason that captured al-Qaida members would have continued to be tried as civilians, fatwa or no.\nThat military authorization is, controversially, still in effect today and has been used as the legal basis for the detentions and prosecutions at Guantanamo as well as military actions against a number of groups around the world, some of which, such as ISIS, did not exist in 2001.\nThe concept of acts or declarations of war have become more complex and ambiguous in an era when more armed conflicts are typically fought not between states but between states and nonstate actors. (Though, as this week\u2019s renewed hopes of a formal end to the Korean War remind us, countries can be in states of ambiguous semi-war with each other as well.) The legal framework of the war on terror has given the government an extraordinary amount of leeway to decide where and against whom the United States is engaged in armed conflict. It can apparently apply that framework retroactively as well.\nWhile it may make some limited legal sense in this particular case, the ruling is a further reminder of just how muddy our distinctions between wartime and peacetime are becoming.",

        "raw_content": "Nr. 2 (2009) / Rubrik \"Nachbarschaft\" / Standortredaktion Wien\nSusanne Wurm:\nReflections On The State Of The Union And The Roots Of The Present Discontent Among EU Citizens\nAfter lecturing for a couple of years on \"European Social Policy, Migration, Multiculturalism and Interculturality\" in the Erasmus and Socrates lecturer exchange programme of the European Union at the universities of Stockholm, Rome, Ljubljana and Oulu in Finland and after having taught \"European Economic History\" and \"European Union Development\" at Universities of Applied Sciences in Vienna since 1998, I decided to attempt an analysis and a comparison of the economic, social and cultural aspects of the European Union development from the point of view of a social and economic historian. By interviewing Austrian professionals from different fields of work, covering music, art, medicine, psychology, legal and educational research and banking, I attempted to find reasons for the sceptical attitude of Austrians towards the European Union as expressed in the latest Eurobarometer 2008.\nThe intention of this working paper is to provide students and a general public interested in current developments in the European Union and their historical roots with a concise overview and a critical comparison of the economic, cultural and social developments of European Union integration and their impact on the satisfaction of European citizens with the state of the Union.\n\"Si c'\u00e9tait \u00e0 refaire, je commencerais par la culture\" (\"If I were starting over, I would begin with culture\") Jean Monet\nWhether Jean Monet really said this or not, it is a fact that he and Robert Schuman started with the economy and the preponderance of the economic integration still characterises the European Union today. Nevertheless, Monet's quip epitomises the importance of culture in any form of unity in Europe.\nThe virtues of Europe today as compared to the United States are the emphasis on trans-nationalcooperation, not only on an economic level, and the humane attitude to law, society and the environment. But Europe has lost a sense of purpose. The EU was built institutionally, not democratically; it would probably not even have come about if there had been national votes on establishing a union after World War II. Nowadays you cannot go around public opinion, and it seems to be fashionable in Europe today to oppose the EU. Politicians exploit the EU for their purposes without considering the costs, as they just take the benefits of the EU for granted. There is definitely a lack of direction. The EU as an ideal is no longer supported by the majority of Europeans, not even by the new members in Central and Eastern Europe. They rather imitate the American way of life, especially the economic and consumer aspect of it, and the focus on the virtues of Europe has got lost in recent years. In Western Europe many people are either supporters of the neo-liberalist American approach or they take up a crude anti-Americanist stance. Yet the EU is the only model of peaceful and economically successful cooperation we have that embodies a sense of collective interest, regulates the market and induced nation states to abdicate some of their sovereignty to build common institutions.\nCan a further integration of Europe be achieved today by the common will of the countries concerned? Should it? Will the governments make concessions and sacrifice more of their sovereign rights? Or will Europe be unable to catch up with the interdependent world of today and the future and continue to believe that nationalistic self-interest still makes sense or that European nationalism can carry on where the nation states of Europe were forced to leave off? Those building Europe today never seem to go beyond the purely highly technical level of specialists who are brilliant experts and indispensable, but not understood by the people living in Europe. Yet we misunderstand Europeans if we give them sums and statistics only, which look wan alongside the waves of enthusiasm that have enlivened Europe in the past. Can a European consciousness be achieved solely through statistics? It is disturbing that Europe as a cultural ideal and objective is the last item on the current agenda. No one is concerned with a mystique, an ideology. Europe will not be built unless it draws on the old forces that formed it in the first place and are still lingering below the surface. \"The Europe of the peoples\" will have to work with the people or they will overturn it with their historical taste for revolution and cast it away.\nThe disappearance of national frontiers in the movement of goods, capital, services and people could forge a new kind of peoples who feel for instance Austrian and European. The community has been formed largely to avert a return to a tragic past and less to build a clearly envisioned future. So Europeans are bound together by the unpleasant memory of their national antagonisms and their desire to keep those at bay, and now increasingly by a common fear of being run over by waves of immigrants and being wiped out economically by globalisation. Yet the European Union could become a model of how independent states integrate and cooperate. To adapt Churchill's famous remark about democracy: \"Democracy is the worst form of government - except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time\", the European Union is the worst possible Europe, apart from all the other \"Europes\" that have been tried from time to time.\n2. The Historical and Cultural Concept of Europe as a Unity1\n2.1 Why did Anyone ever Think of Europe as a Separate Continent?\nBy definition a continent is a stretch of continuous land clearly bounded by the sea or at least a narrow isthmus, but Europe is a large peninsula projecting from \"Eurasia\" at its western side. So why did anyone ever think that Europe was a continent and why do people still think that Europe is a distinct entity?\nSince the second millennium BC Greek sailors had sailed up the Bosporus to trade on the coast of the Black Sea. \"Europe\" was the land on their left, to the west, when sailing north, where most of them lived and \"Asia\" was the land on their right, to the east, with Troy, Milet and the Lydians, Phrygians and Persians. They supposed that Europe was really separate from Asia. A map of the world of the Greek geographer Hecatheus from around 500 BC shows that he assumed that the Caspian Sea stretched out into a great ocean dividing Europe from Asia. In the wars of the Greeks against the Persian Empire the Persians were seen by the Greeks as forces of barbarism, lacking the capacity for self-government and a sense of freedom. The Greeks labelled this distorted picture of the people on the Persian side \"Asia\" and by a brilliant piece of propaganda Herodotus reclassified the Greeks \"on the Asian side\" as really \"people of Europe\", namely the bearers of independent-minded rationality, law and freedom. This was the moral justification for the imperialist colonising activity all around the Mediterranean. In this way the Greek sailors' idea of Europe \"as the land on the left hand side as you sail north\" was filled with meaning and propaganda. It became a label for an ideal centred in Athens, where cultural characteristics which were thought of as ideal European ones were most fully developed, while other parts of Europe only participated in this ideal by sharing the cultural values of this European centre. Not only was Europe from its beginning defined in opposition to \"non-Europe\", but the idea was promoted that Europe's true character was that of its centre and over the centuries this centre moved from Athens to Rome and then to Western Europe. From the Middle Ages on this centre was defined in the terms of Christianity. So Europe was always a word used by Europeans to boost their own image and power and not just to label a certain piece of land.\nEven after it had been discovered that Europe was a peninsula of Eurasia and did not deserve to be called a continent geographically, people stuck to it because it signified more than a piece of land, it denoted an ideal, a certain kind of civilisation. Nevertheless they disagreed widely over the centuries and in different regions what exactly that kind of civilisation was. Furthermore it is noteworthy that Europe has no true eastern boundaries except arbitrary ones, such as the Ural Mountains.\n2.2 The European Civilisation\nHistorically, the West looked to Rome, the East to Constantinople. The major separation in the 9th century was the success of Cyril and Method in preaching the gospel to Slavs and shaping the future along Greek Orthodox lines. A later division occurred between North and South with the Protestant Reformation, which curiously split Europe roughly along the ancient Roman limes.\nThe Eastern Mediterranean had been endowed with a very old civilisation, when the Western Mediterranean was still primitive. After the break-up of the Roman Empire, Europe developed a feudal civilisation and in the 11th and 12th century a lively feudal regime, a particular and very original political, social and economic order. There could be no feudalism without the previous fragmentation of a larger political entity, the huge Carolingian Empire, the first \"United Europe\". Despite this political compartmentalisation, there was a convergence in European civilisation and culture. There was, indeed, a single Christendom and a civilisation of chivalry, the minstrel, the troubadour and courtly love. The crusades expressed that unity as they were mass movements, collective adventures. The social pyramid with its obligations, rules and allegiances mobilized economic, political and military strength and enabled the West to survive and safeguard its old Christian and Roman heritage to which it added the ideas of the seigniorial regime. Yet all that mattered in this compartmentalized world was the small unit, the narrow, limited native region.\nThe history of Europe has been marked everywhere by the stubborn growth of private \"liberties\", franchises or privileges limited to certain groups, big or small. This process has never been peaceful, yet it is one of the elements that explains Europe's progress. The peasants were among the first to begin to be liberated, but certainly the last to be fully free. With the economic awakening of Europe in the 10th century, the increase in population and agricultural production and the growth of towns, the lot of peasants rapidly improved. Money rent started to replace serfdom. These liberties had no firm legal basis. The lord continued to enjoy superior rights over the land and could recover his oppressive powers, which resulted in a succession of peasant revolts. Newly acquired privileges were called into question again with the capitalist economic development beginning in the 16th century. When capital faced economic recession, it turned back to the land in a large-scale seigniorial reaction. The capitalist landowners looked for profit, the small-holders became indebted and so their land could be seized and bond-service increased. This development was especially tragic in Central and Eastern Europe. This system persisted until the 19th century in the East and was responsible for the economic backwardness of these areas. In the West favourable changes began in the 18th century, first in England. Then the French Revolution freed peasants at a stroke, which was copied elsewhere during revolutionary and Napoleonic wars.\nThe towns were the motors of Europe's first advance and were rewarded with liberties. After a long decline of Roman towns in the West, from the 11th to the 13th century the towns experienced a remarkable renaissance, they prospered and were ahead of their time. Free cities emerged early in Italy and the Netherlands. Medieval European towns were exclusive, their citizens were privileged by virtue of their citizenship. The countryside around them was often under their control, but they were not politically open to the surrounding area like ancient city-states. The liberty of the cities was threatened when the modern states grew more powerful in the 15th century. A territorial economy grew up, replacing the urban economy, but still controlled by the towns.\nThe territorial states were late-comers to Europe. The ancient form of feudal kingship took a long time to be transformed. The turning point came in the 15th century especially in areas where the urban revolution had been least marked; not in Italy, the Netherlands and Germany where there were so many free, rich and economically active towns. Modern monarchies developed in Spain, France and Britain with a new kind of rulers. Territorial states were served by functionaries, servants of the state. They enjoyed the loyalty of the masses, who saw the monarch as their natural protector against the church and the nobles. The modern state arose from the new costly needs of war. It did not recognise any higher authority, not the Holy Roman Emperor, not the pope. The new nation state wanted to be isolated, uncontrolled and independent. As the modern state tightened its grip, European civilisation became territorial and national. At the heart of these larger civilised entities, the capital cities played an important role and London for instance virtually became England. A redistribution of liberties, granted by the state set in. Liberties were handed out to powerful groups of privileged people by the monarch.\nThe intellectual ferment of the Renaissance and the Reformation laid the basis for individual freedom, respect for the greatness of the human being as an individual. Effective market economy and money from the colonies upset and weakened the old hierarchies. A certain freedom of choice was discernible, but on the other hand the state imposed a new order which strictly limited such freedom. In the name of the interests of the whole society the state undertook a strict regime for the poor in the 17th century. Already in the 16th century the beggars of Paris were arrested and forced to work in the sewers, chained together in pairs. Throughout the Middle Ages the poor, vagrants and the mad had been protected by the Christian right to hospitality and alms, they were viewed as God's emissaries, yet people were keen on sending them on their way rather than keeping them within the city walls. A certain form of liberty prevailed; the peasant could flee his lord for another one, go to the city, to the New World or become a soldier. Even the Elizabethan Poor Laws in England offered some scope for humane treatment of the poor. With capitalism all these people became enemies of a society which was urban, capitalist and attached to order and efficiency. Throughout Europe the poor, the sick, the unemployed and the insane were locked up, sometimes with their families alongside with delinquents. A large number of establishments were founded for this purpose, barracks with forced labour.\nThe French revolution itself did not succeed in establishing complete liberty. Hence liberty was invoked by almost all the ideologies and claims that advanced in the 19th century: \"liberalism\". Freedom of thought necessarily implies the idea of tolerance and respect for others. The revolutions of 1848 were a crucial landmark for liberty and electoral reform. \"Liberalism\" is now virtually banished from active politics, yet it remains part of Europe's heritage and has become second nature. Any breach of individual liberties affronts Europeans. In the face of authoritarian states a certain kind of defiant, anarchic liberalism continues to survive as a Western heritage.\nThe spiritual and intellectual life of Europe was always subject to violent change, yet that should not distract from an impressive continuity of Europe's thought, evident throughout all its successive phases.\nFirst, \"Christianity\": Western Christianity was and remains the main constituent element in European thought, including rationalist thought, which although it attacked Christianity was also derivative from it. A European, even if he/she is an atheist, is still the prisoner of an ethic and mentality which are deeply rooted in the Christian tradition. Christianity became the official religion in the Roman Empire as a result of the Edict of Constantine in 313. With the 18th century there was a great reverse. This time material progress did not serve the cause of the church, it went with a scientific and philosophic movement which on the contrary opposed the church in the name of progress and reason.\nSecond, \"Humanism\": European thought is inconceivable except in the context of a dialogue with Christianity, even when the dispute is violent. This context is essential to the understanding of humanism, one of the fundamental aspects of Western thought. Humanism frees and magnifies humanity and diminishes the role of God even if not completely ruling it out. Humanism is a manifestation of human pride, directed against exclusive submission to God, against a wholly materialist conception of the world, against any system that would reduce human responsibility. Humanism is a constant drive towards ways in which it can modify and improve human destiny. It signifies a European quest for what is new, difficult, forbidden or even scandalous, with many achievements and many set-backs.\nRenaissance humanism of the 14th and 15th centuries on the one hand, represented a dialogue between classical and Christian civilisation. Pagan Rome had never died out in the West, Christian Europe was on a day-to-day contact with ancient Rome and its traditions, classical heritage had entered language, thought, literature, urbanity and monasteries. The Renaissance then distanced itself from medieval Christianity in its approach to life itself, by creating an atmosphere of lively enjoyment, relishing the pleasures of the eye, the mind and the body. It was on earth that people had to build their kingdom.\nOn the other hand there was Protestant humanism, starting in 1517 with Luther's propositions. It was the source from which the great flood of Reformation flowed between the 15th and the 16th century. The following excesses of war and violence died down in the 18th century, but Protestantism survived and today is widespread in a large part of the Western world. The nature of Protestant humanism despite its great diversity becomes evident once it is contrasted with Catholicism. Common is an inclination towards the free study of the Scripture, historical criticism of sacred texts and a kind of deist rationalism, greater freedom of conscience in the spirit of Enlightenment and under the influence of scientific progress. This might have helped Europe to develop towards a greater independence of the mind together with the general evolution of philosophical and scientific thought in Europe.\nIf we look at the humanism of the French Revolution, we can see that Europe has always been and still is revolutionary and at the same time counter-revolutionary. What revolutionary humanism essentially believed was that violence could be legitimate if it were used to defend law, equality, social justice or the mother country. But to embrace violence was acceptable only if it were the sole means of making the society more human and fraternal. Revolution meant violence in the service of an ideal. The counter-revolution sprang from the same roots, but its historical failing was that it looked backward and tried to move backward. It is remarkable that \"1789\" inspired mass workers' movements in the 20th century and it is still alive.\nFinally \"scientific thought\": The problem is to discover why modern science developed only in the context of Western civilisation and not much earlier in advanced civilisations such as China and Islam. All scientific proceedings are undertaken in the context of a certain view of the world. There can be no progress, no reasoning and no fruitful hypothesis if there is no general set of references to locate one's position and choose one's direction. At the beginning of the 18thcentury the unprecedented economic growth affected the whole world, but its centre became Europe, so industrialisation and the increasing demand caused by material and technological conditions were the motors of change. In that way, one Western phenomenon, namely science, has to be explained by another Western phenomenon, namely industrialisation. These two go side by side. Much earlier than the West, China possessed the rudiments of science in an elegant and advanced form, but it failed to reach the decisive stage, because it never experienced the economic impetus, the capitalist tension that spurred Europe on. The beginnings of this creative tension can be traced back to the great medieval trading centres.\n2. 3 The Unity of Europe\nEurope simultaneously enjoys both unity and diversity. Among the things shared by the whole of Europe are, as we have seen, its religion, its rationalist philosophy, its development of science and technology, its taste for revolution and social justice, and its imperial adventures. At any moment however it is easy to go beyond that apparent harmony and find the national diversity that underlies it. Such differences are abundant, vigorous and characteristic of Europe as such. But they exist just as much between the north and south of France, Italy or Germany.\nOne of Europe's shared characteristics is its outstanding art and culture. But that does not mean that all nations of Europe have exactly the same culture. Yet any cultural movement that begins in one part of Europe tends to spread throughout the continent. This cultural phenomenon may face resistance and rejection in one part and be successful in another part of Europe. Nevertheless Europe is, broadly speaking, a fairly coherent cultural whole. Every cultural centre in Europe has always attracted artists, philosophers, scientists from various parts of Europe. One can mention the wanderings of Italian Renaissance artists or the \"commedia del arte\" actors groups that travelled as far as England at the time of Shakespeare, or the spread of the Italian opera from Florence in the 16thcentury.\nFor centuries Europe has been bound together by a common economy. At any given moment its material life has been dominated by particular centres of privilege and influence. During the later Middle Ages the centre was Venice, with the beginning of modern times it moved to Lisbon, then Seville and Antwerp, in the 17thcentury to Amsterdam and then to London. Each time the European economic centre was the more influential because not only European economic life centred there, but also the economic life of the world. In 1914 London was not only the great market for credit, maritime insurance and reinsurance, but also for American wheat, Egyptian cotton, Malayan rubber, South African gold, Australian wool, Middle Eastern oil. Very early on Europe became a coherent material and geographical whole, with an adaptable monetary economy and busy communications along its coasts and rivers and via the carriageways and roads for pack animals. This interdependence is the reason why the different regions of Europe were affected almost simultaneously by the same cycles of economic change. In the 16thcentury, for instance, a huge price rise began in Spain as a result of the sudden influx of precious metals from America. The same price inflation affected the whole of Western Europe and penetrated even as far as Moscow, then the centre of a still primitive economy.\nYet all of Europe did not develop at the same rate. A line could be drawn from L\u00dcbeck or Hamburg through Prague and Vienna as far as Trieste, to divide the economically advanced Western part from the economically backward areas to the East. Socially, the separation became evident in the persistence of serfdom among the peasant population in the eastern parts of Europe at a time when it was long abolished in the West. Three important Western European developments reached Eastern Europe much later and they were less prominent there, namely the urbanisation of the Middle Ages in the 10thand 11thcenturies, the Enlightenment of the 17thand 18thcenturies and the industrialisation in the 18thand 19thcenturies. Nevertheless also in the West there were growth areas in the midst of less developed regions. Indeed there can be no economic interdependence unless there are differences of development, in which some regions lead the way and others follow. Despite the national and regional differences economic links have long bound Europe together.\nYet in building European unity politics has always been most hesitant. The truth is that all of Europe has long been involved in the same political system, from which no state could escape without grave risks to itself. But that system did not encourage unity in Europe, on the contrary, it divided European countries into groups of varying membership, whose basic rule was to prevent any hegemony. Each state pursued its own selfish ends and if it was too successful, it sooner or later found the others lined up against it according to the \"European balance of power\". The growing power of states made this imperfect balancing act ever more dangerous. The ultimate outcome was always war. Until the 20thcentury, the world was at the mercy of this European balance of powers.\nPolitical unity by force always failed, as can be seen from the failed attempts of Charlemagne, or the emperor Charles V. His dream was to conquer all the Christian lands, as his \"Imperial Idea\" was rooted in the historic Spanish crusade. The emperor lacked nothing, he had troops, excellent commanders, loyal followers, the support of great bankers, the Fuggers, excellent diplomats, mastery of the sea, and he had the treasures from America. It was the \"concert of Europe\" that defeated Charles V using every method including an alliance with the Sultan.\n2.4 Defining European Identity\nThe German chancellor Otto von Bismarck was of the opinion that Europe was a mere geographical expression. But Europeans, on the contrary, have long been conscious of their civilisation, their continent, its boundaries, topography, languages and ideas. More than any other continent Europe has been obsessed with its own self-definition, with ascertaining just what it is that binds Europeans together and distinguishes them from others. But Europe has had a chequered past. In the medieval urban renaissance, which saw the spread of universities and city states, throughout the Enlightenment and again since 1945 it has been common practice to think and talk European. But at other times much more attention was paid to local interests. Even when Europeans did invoke the idea of Europe they frequently had different things in mind.\nThere has always been a Mediterranean Europe, an Atlantic Europe and a Northern Europe. For many centuries there has further been a mainstream Europe defined by wealth, trade routes and established political regimes and a marginal one defined by poverty, vulnerability to invasion and imperial domination. And cutting across these lines there has always been the distinction between centre and periphery.\nThen there is the important element of size. The dimensions of European states vary greatly. Populous states with long-established, secure state systems, like France and Britain, have always been wary of being absorbed anonymously into pan-European projects, whether led by popes, emperors or bureaucrats. For Europe's smaller countries the situation is quite different. Vulnerable small countries like those of Central Europe or the Netherlands and Belgium can best maintain their distinctive cultural identities by identifying with Europe as a bulwark against their own past and ambitions of mighty neighbours. For them as for regions like Catalonia and Lombardy, which have long strained against the demands of a centralised Spanish and Italian state, being European and taking pride in local identity are complementary. Larger countries fear a loss of their special place, their distinct national image, through too close an identification with a Europe they cannot control.\nBut the most significant fault line today runs through countries, not between them. Whatever is distinctively European thought, taste, practices has always been restricted to a trans-national \u00e9lite, united by the command of a common language, first Latin, later French, then English, and by a freedom of movement. It might surprise modern business executives, lecturers and politicians travelling from one European capital to another how much they have in common with the traders, theologians and emissaries who traversed the same routes centuries ago. Such cosmopolitan Europeans have always had more in common with one another than with their monolingual, less well-educated national compatriots. For this other Europe of farmers, workers and service employees, Europe is an abstraction. Thanks to television today even the poorest European citizens aspire to a certain common culture, but this is a universal, interchangeable, popular culture, not distinctly European, rather American. At a deeper level the less educated citizens of European states remain confined within narrow boundaries. Their concerns are local or national rather than continental and they are accordingly more susceptible to populist and nationalist appeals.\n3. The Development of European Economic Integration\n3.1 Building a European Economic Community2\nThe idea of pooling economic interests to overcome common problems was not a new one after 1945. The \"United States of Europe\" had been proposed in 1848 by the French newspaper Le Moniteur and there were various proposals made for an economic federation along Swiss cantonal lines. Another popular theme of the 19thcentury were customs unions, for example, proposals to extend the German Customs Union, established in 1834, to include the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark and even the Habsburg Empire, which failed. After the First World War the break-up of empires resulted in a disruption of production units and trade patterns, which made the need for cartels and trading pacts even more urgent. Wide-spread anti-Americanism and the fear of US competition continued to favour intra-European trade agreements, which were mostly bi-lateral, not multi-lateral as before 1918. One exception was the International Steel Cartel, founded in 1926, covering Germany, France, Belgium, Luxemburg and the Saarland, which was still separated from Germany under the terms of the Versailles Treaty. It was joined by Czechoslovakia, Austria and Hungary a year later, but renounced by German producers in 1929 and altogether abandoned two years later at the height of depression. Other similar efforts to boost the European economy in the interwar years was the Oslo Group of 1930, covering Scandinavia and the Benelux countries or the Fascist Rome Protocol of 1934 comprising Italy, Hungary and Austria. None of these attempts succeeded in preventing the collapse of trade in Europe. In 1938 Germany and France were still negotiating a trading agreement under which France would import more German chemical and engineering output in return for an increased German import of French agricultural produce. It was never to be ratified.\nDiplomatic efforts accompanied these unsuccessful attempts at economic partnership. The German Gustav Stresemann argued in 1920 for an end to customs barriers and the creation of a Eurocurrency because he was of the opinion that Germany's own interests were best served by putting them into a broader European context. The Frenchman Aristide Briand developed plans for a \"United Europe\" in 1929. There were several precedents of a strife for a European unity to revive the economically depressed continent, from the Young Neutralists to the Pacifists and the Fascists, who spoke of a \"renewed and re-juvenated Europe\", united around their common set of goals. The Nazi Albert Speer's plans for a \"New European Order\" towards the end of World War II, rejecting the old liberal, democratic and divided pre-war Europe and propagating a German-dominated National Socialist union, led to the fact that the terminology of a \"United Europe\" was polluted immediately after World War II.\nThe creators of post-war European integration were driven by most conventional motives, realistic, national and traditional. They had grown up in a world of nation states and alliances. In 1945 the prospects of building any kind of European unity looked especially bleak. It is a mistake to believe that Europe was built by idealists because the idealists that existed had no discernable real-world impact. The British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and the Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden propagated a vague idea of a unified continent, but limited the idea of a \"Council of Europe\" to a meeting place and talking shop of Europe's leaders. The goals of most spokesmen for a united Europe were domestic. European statesmen were striving for reconstruction and reform in their home countries. Until the 1950s it was uncommon to find politicians or even intellectuals talking about a unified Europe. In fact, it was neither idealism that drove Europeans together, nor historical destiny, but economic need. After the Second World War it had become obvious that the Western European states had to cooperate economically to overcome post-war exhaustion. Those forms of economic cooperation, such as the Organisation of European Economic Cooperation (OEEC) or the European Payments Union (EPU), had no idealistic content and carried no implication of future European unity.\nThe time immediately after the end of World War II was dominated by the historical \"French- German dilemma\" and was not fundamentally different from 1918. The French had to resolve again their \"German problem\", namely how best to hold German power down to an unthreatening level while keeping it productive enough to ensure a sufficient flow of vital raw materials to restart the French industry. At that time France was uniquely dependent on German resources, especially coal. In order to fire its own steel plants France needed coal from the Ruhr and ironically, the return of Alsace-Lorraine after 1919 had increased this dependence, as it doubled French steel-making capacity without adding significantly to its coal supplies. So France's strategy was an urgent exploitation of German resources and at the same time a reduction of German political and military power to the minimum. It would have been a replay of the unsuccessful strategy that led in 1923 to the French occupation of the Ruhr. But this French policy was incompatible with the British and American policies which wanted to revive the Western German economy. They planned to boost the West German economy, firstly, for the sake of European economic recovery and secondly, to relieve the British of the cost of feeding and housing the people in their zone of occupation. Finally, especially the Americans wanted an economically strong Germany as a partner against the Soviet Union, at a time when tensions were already rising and the onset of the Cold War was imminent. The US military commander in Berlin, General Lucius Clay was about to accord to Western Germany a certain degree of autonomy to help the economy recover. The French leaders tried to work around this British-American strategy by allying with the Soviets, a replay of traditional French diplomacy of associating with a strong partner east of Germany. Initially, the Soviets had no objection to the French exploiting German resources, when they themselves were dismantling German assets in their zones of occupation and exploiting German raw materials to the full, especially as it antagonised British and American interests. But with the onset of the Cold War the Soviets had no use for French diplomatic manoeuvring and rejected the French plans. So France had to adopt a third strategy, namely accepting the need of a revival of the Western German economy and a unified Western German state while hedging it around with international alliances and economic agreements and by that ensuring the French access to German resources.\nVital for the Jean Monet Plan was the French industrial reconstruction that depended on the availability and affordability of German raw materials. Yet the original plan was too limited, reproducing the trade-restricting tariff agreements of the interwar years and negotiations failed. That's where the plan of the French Foreign Minister, Robert Schuman, for a six-nation community to share and regulate the production and consumption of coal and steel under an autonomous international authority came in. This proposal took the imaginative leap from the Monet Plan to a new concept of accepting the participation of Western Germany and the absence of Great Britain. In 1950 the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC), the kernel of the European Union, was the second best solution. The British thought they could still stay outside a European cooperation, secure in their political and economic links with the Commonwealth. They lacked the wartime experience of occupation that led other European countries to accept an economic cooperation that included Western Germany in return for a peaceful economic development and a national revival. For decades the British thought they could go on as before the two World Wars, which was a grave misconception and resulted in smaller growth rates compared to other European countries in the 1950s and 60s. The French accepted a European solution to their German dilemma only after their preferred strategies had failed. Nevertheless they were successful beyond their expectations in \"Europeanising\" their historical problem by incorporating Western Germany into an originally French-dominated community. France was given the chance to take initiative and the absence of Britain was felt as a kind of \"sweet revenge\" after decades of diplomatic humiliation by the British.\nWestern Germany, of course, would have preferred a broader economic union, just like all the other partners except France, but they agreed to the ECSC on French terms as a first step back into the international community of states and to gain French support for their primary goal of increased sovereignty. The Netherlands and Belgium feared a US retreat from Europe and a repetition of American isolationism of the interwar years. So they attempted to keep at least Britain engaged in continental Europe but failed. They agreed to a much reduced community because they needed to see the German economy restored in order to revive and modernise their own industries and to be able to sell to a growing German market. In that way Germany constituted a counterweight to the French economic domination in that area.\nThe result of this political process was an emerging European unity that was in certain aspects an accidental construction und still unpredictable in form, content and membership. In those days no one was talking about giving up sovereignty or a political union. The ECSC, signed in 1951, did not yet signify a peaceful and economically strong Europe; it was rather a kind of \"peace treaty\" between Germany and France by institutionalising their important mutual economic dependence. Once the European Recovery Programme, better known as the Marshall Plan, phased out in 1952, the limits of the Schuman Plan became evident, but France blocked any attempt at further European integration, such as the \"Green Pool\", proposed by the Netherlands to coordinate agricultural output or the \"European Defence Force\". The economic boom of the Miracle Years raised the need to stabilise trade in more than just coal and steel, so initiative was recovered in 1955 at a meeting in Messina, Sicily. The high rates of economic expansion forced upon Europe some sort of regulation. So the 1957 Treaty of Rome agreement to establish a Common Market, The European Economic Community (EEC), was the result of new economic developments the six members had to channel and contain, just like its predecessor, the ECSC. They had to develop new devices to tackle occurring economic problems, such as agricultural production.\nThe Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) constituted and still constitutes a gross misapplication of resources. For a long time it has been the most expensive European economic policy by keeping European agricultural target prices above world level while guaranteeing to buy surpluses at predetermined rates. In the 1970s it took up 70 per cent of the EEC budget. Why then had the other five members given in to French pressure in 1957 to implement CAP?\nFirstly, one answer to this question is historical. Since the late 19thcentury Europe had suffered from rural overpopulation despite urbanisation and emigration. The majority of peasants barely scraped by and after World War I the situation worsened, when the prices for agricultural products decreased rapidly. The democratic governments of the interwar years could not do anything to raise agricultural prices because higher food prices would have worsened the situation of the urban population that was already suffering from deprivation and unemployment. Furthermore no investments were made in agricultural support programmes due to strict laissez-faire economic policies. The high rates of urban unemployment excluded any alternative occupation of the peasants in the cities. Authoritarian regimes, on the contrary, imposed policies to ensure agricultural autarky. So a desperate peasantry turned to fascist and populist parties everywhere in the interwar years. The fact that Europe's depressed farmers had proved so susceptible to the Fascist appeal turned out to be a major element in the willingness to agree to CAP in order to win the European farmers over to democracy.\nSecondly, in the 1950s farmers were still a significant presence in Europe; in France they constituted 30 per cent of the labour force and in Italy even 43 per cent. Thirdly, immediately after the Second World War, Europe suffered a chronic food shortage, and there was an urgent need to produce as much as possible to reduce imports from the dollar zone to save precious foreign currency. Consequently, farmers were encouraged to produce as much as possible as fast as possible with the help of wartime aid measures, which were kept in place. Reforms were passed in France and Italy to confirm and improve the rights of tenant farmers and farm labourers in the hope to convince them of the benefits of democratic policies. But once the immediate post-war agricultural production crisis had been overcome the Europeans had to cope with a new situation, namely how to keep food prices high for the farmers and at the same time at a reasonable level for the consumers. With the economic boom in industrial production and trade of the Miracle Years the welfare gap between urban and rural workers had started to widen again. At that time the supply of food was already growing fast despite a rapid and continuous fall in the labour force engaged in agriculture.\nThe result of trying to tackle these problems was CAP. The French government only accepted trans-national aspects of the EEC in exchange for a protection of their agriculture from competition, especially from Denmark, and the Netherlands went along with France. For Western Germany CAP represented an economic advantage in the south only, but for Western Germany it was the price that had to be paid for an expanding trading community. Only in return for CAP would France adopt common commercial policies and an \"ever closer union\", as mentioned in the Preamble of the Treaty of Rome. In effect, CAP never benefited a majority of peasants, even in France because it was and still is mostly advantageous for big grain and dairy producers and offers much less to small farmers of olives, wine, fruit and vegetables. The true function of CAP therefore is political and not economic. While farmers have become decreasingly relevant in electoral terms, constituting below ten per cent in Western Europe, and because the traditional rural society has been swiftly melting away, a compensatory myth of its cultural centrality, not only in France, grew and a powerful belief has spread that rural communities and rural culture have to be preserved and protected. This guaranteed the survival of a very costly European agricultural protection programme until today, in utter contrast to the general drive of European economic policies and out of all proportion to the size of the European constituency.\nIn this way CAP illustrates the whole enterprise of European integration. It has always been an outcome of separate electoral concerns, economic interests and national political cultures, it was made necessary by economic and political circumstances and it was made possible by the prosperity of the economic Miracle Years. The achievement of this integration process was an astonishing and fast economic recovery and the resulting wealth and prosperity of Western Europe. By avoiding the disasters of two World Wars and the Great Depression its success is singular in European history as a peace project and an economic programme. Three aspects rendered this success possible: First, the impact of the war itself. Europe with the exception of Britain had become defeatist and wary of any commitment to war. Past emphasis on national and military achievements seemed inappropriate and the attention was turned to social and economic affairs. Second, the Cold War: It forced Europe into a greater measure of unity and collaboration while sparing Europeans high military expenses, which were taken over by the Americans. A re-armament after the war would have been economically and politically disastrous. Finally, the disastrous economic history of the inter-war years led to a drastic change in social and economic policies along Keynesian lines, which resulted in a long and unprecedented era of relative social peace and economic and political stability. For the economic take-off mainly three factors were responsible, namely first, the American aid and the willingness of the American administration to spend it on a programme for European economic recovery, second, the acute labour shortage until the 1960s that provided labour for the people from the economically depressed areas of Western Europe and then for cheap foreign workers and third, coal. Without the vital interest that coal had played and was expected to play in the future, the Western European states might not have had a shared interest in an economic community. For the six founding members coal and steel was a domestic problem that drove European integration forward.\nBut more than US dollars, docile and cheap labour and coal, it was luck that contributed to the unification process. Five of the six founding members were among Europe's potentially wealthiest and economically most efficient states, the community could wait until 1973 to incorporate three more members, two of which wealthy again, Britain and Denmark and before 1989 the community never had to worry about absorbing the really poor nations in Eastern Europe. All this made this European trade partnership different from all the previous attempts, and on top of that its expansionist future intentions. From the beginning the community claimed that its interests would be best served by extending to others their rules and benefits.\n3.2 Problems of European Integration3\nAs we have seen in chapter 3.1., the movement that has actually produced the existing European Union was not based on strength and potential, but on the exact opposite, weakness. After World War II the need to avoid suicidal wars of mutual destruction became evident, at least to Western German and French governments, and coordination between those two states formed and still forms the cornerstone of Brussels politics. Weakened as single states, former \"great powers\" could now count only as part of a coordinated Europe. Britain, which after 1945 still hoped to maintain itself as a global power and global empire, finally abandoned this hope after the collapse of its empire.\nFour problems derive from this origin of the European Union:\nFirst, this pragmatic development of the community would probably not have taken place but for the Cold War, the combination of fear of one superpower and strong pressures from the other, notably the pressure to integrate Western Germany into the anti-Soviet front. The community grew up as a part of the American anti-Soviet block, though formally outside the military system NATO. With the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union it lost the stability of bipolar confrontation and was faced with problems it was not prepared for as part of the American alliance. The two most obvious were and still are, how and how far to extend the EU to formerly communist European countries and how to acquire a common foreign and military policy after emerging from under the umbrella of US Cold War policy.\nThe second problem derives from the nature of the construction of the EU, developed from the European Coal and Steel Community in 1951. Considering that electoral democracy was an essential qualification for membership, its absence from the institutions of the EC is striking. The EC was constructed from the top down, outside the scope of the democratic politics of its member states. The machinery of the EC made no real provision for an all-European democratic element, although it took over from the ECSC a consultative assembly, renamed the European Parliament in 1958. Some slow and reluctant concessions to the public rhetoric of democracy and the pressure of the European Parliament have been made, especially since 1979. It might be misleading to speak of a \"democratic deficit\" of the EU, as it was explicitly constructed on a non-electoral basis and few will seriously argue that it would have got where it is today and would have achieved what it has otherwise. It may be transformed into a directly elected democratic entity, but if it is, its character will be profoundly changed. However, one must add that for its first decades, the EU benefited enormously from the fact that neither voters nor politicians in the member states took much interest in its affairs, knew much about them, or - except special-interest groups like businessmen and farmers - saw them as of more than marginal importance for themselves. Generally speaking, the citizens of member states regarded the community as concerned with technical matters like tariffs and as broadly beneficial, with relatively minor and manageable drawbacks. Since the Single European Act (SEA) of 1986, this has changed. \"Europe\" has become a major issue in the national politics of the member states and has sharply divided their politicians and electorates. Moreover, as the EU has moved closer to political integration since the mid-1980s, the feebleness of its democratic component has become increasingly evident and ideologically embarrassing.\nThird, the EU was built by a marriage between, on the one hand, national governments that for one reason or another thought of a union as helpful to the interests of their nation states and, on the other hand, a pressure group of ideological missionaries who believed in and worked towards the building of a single federal or confederal Europe. In the SEA this conflict between the two concepts of Europe became evident. The conflict was highlighted as on some issues the SEA substituted majority voting for unanimity and by that, depriving member states of their automatic veto on community decisions. After the end of the economic Miracle Years it became clear that the European Economic Community could no longer rely on the socio-economic consensus that had underpinned it, the combination of market and welfare and the partnership of state, capital and organised labour. The rise of free-market neo-liberalism undermined the Community's cohesion as much as the collapse of communism. In ultra-liberal theory, even a large trading block like Europe arming itself against rival economic blocks, such as the USA and Japan, was an unacceptable interference with free enterprise in the global economy. The problem nowadays is that only the European Union and the economists and politicians responsible for the current EU economic policies seem to see it this way, while all the other economic blocks are already protecting their economic interests in very intricate ways. Politically, the Community was then under attack from two sides, from those who disliked its encroachment on the national state and from the champions of a single free-trading world economy against trading blocks. Unfortunately, the ideologists' project of building Europe based on a European identity had never had a real political constituency in the member states. Changes in the world economy now may require reinterpretations of the \"4 freedoms\" of the EU that are its basic principles: freedom of movement of goods, persons, services and capital, since the EU's function today is increasingly supposed to be that of strengthening and protecting the global economic competitiveness of a regional block against other economic blocks, as well as preventing the freedom of movement of persons from outside into Europe.\nThe fourth problem of integration poses the historical heterogeneity of the continent itself. The \"European project\" tried to minimise this problem by making common political and economic institutions a condition of membership and by avoiding too great a disparity between the economic and social levels of the members. That's why the application of Turkey has been postponed for so long and is still hotly discussed. With the accession of notably poorer and more backward economies like first Greece and Portugal and then Bulgaria and Romania, the scale of the problem was underlined. The solution was transferring income from richer to poorer areas through structural funds. Even if we suppose that the economies, political systems and living standards of Europe's countries and regions converge more rapidly within the EU, Europe remains heterogeneous and is and should be proud of it, not just because of the many languages spoken within the EU. Almost one quarter of the administrative staff of the EU consists of translators and interpreters, making it the world's largest linguistic service. Though the EU exists to facilitate freedoms of movement within its borders, the surprisingly low rate of population shifts within it, compared to the USA, indicates the reality and importance of these cultural barriers, and the immobility of the European population.\nYet the decades of impressive evolution of the EU until the late 1980s took place out of sight of mass public opinion. Essentially, the considerable advances in European integration rested on two pillars then, the powers of the European Commission and the European Court of Justice. This period of comparatively unproblematic advance ended in the 1990s. The increasing politicisation of Europe has dramatically reduced the Commission's ability to pursue its objectives untroubled by member governments' politics, but few other effective initiators of policies has appeared so far. However, there is still room for the traditional Brussels-initiated process of \"Europe-building\" to continue in those areas that have not yet been politicised, at least until they are. For instance, the Union's redistributive function, especially its regional policy, has grown rapidly. A majority of countries have benefited by this redistribution, even in countries that paid more into the EU's budget than they received back, poor and backward regions benefited from EU subsidies. Also this development, which has introduced a special recognition of regions and a direct link between those regions and Brussels, bypassing their national governments, has political implications. These have already been recognised by separatist movements in for instance Spain, Britain and Italy.\nThe power of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) rests on the fact that member states have given EU law precedence over their national law and that there is no appeal to any superior court. Its judgements inevitably affect the constitutional law of the member states and imply a significant diminution of their sovereignty. The ECJ was originally set up to settle problems of the interpretation of the treaties establishing the EEC, but its importance has grown substantially. Most of its decisions take the form of a preliminary ruling on a case referred to it by a national court when a point of European law is at issue, with its ruling then being applied by the national court. Only the belief that the EEC was primarily concerned with technical rather than political matters, and the lack of massive public interest in its affairs, can explain why so major an abdication of national sovereignty was allowed to pass into the member states' legislation so easily and without public attention. Yet, once accepted, the supremacy of the European law cannot be ended. So at present and in the foreseeable future, the standardisation of national laws through the decisions of the ECJ constitutes the most powerful and permanent element in European integration. The judgements of the ECJ both shape, reflect and set the balance between European and national law.\n4. European Cultural Convergence4\nDespite the persistence of a strong and lively cultural diversity across Europe, a certain convergence of national and regional lifestyles can be seen throughout Western Europe since 1945. It is based on the spread of a common staple of consumer goods and leisure activities and rising and converging living standards. The household expenditure on basic needs, such as food, housing and clothing steadily declined since 1945. After the Second World War this expenditure constituted half or even more than half of the average household budget; in France e.g. 65 per cent. By the 1990s the household expenditure on basic needs had fallen to an average of one quarter in most countries of Western Europe, while in the 21st century the share has been rising again, especially in less well-to-do households, as the welfare gap is significantly widening again. The reduction in basic expenditure allowed an increase in demand for consumer goods and services. Yet it is interesting to see that especially in the area of basic expenditure regional tastes and customs proved most resilient. In housing North Western Europe's pattern of smaller houses contrasted, with the exception of large blocks of council house flats in Britain, with tenement houses and high-rise apartment blocks in the Mediterranean region. This trend was reinforced by new building projects up till the 1980s. Traditional eating habits persisted as well. The most visible European trend was the diffusion of American style fast food since the 1960s and not any kind of European food tradition. In North Western Europe a spread of oriental food was triggered by immigrants who were prepared to toil in small, often take-away, restaurants for very low wages. Popular lifestyles in Europe were approaching American standards and in this, as in many other respects, an apparent \"Europeanization\" was more of a much broader \"Americanisation\" on a world scale. Just like several other idealist European goals, the European mass culture turned out to be something else, namely more of an American mass culture.\nSince the last decade of the 20thcentury the cultural landscape, as well as the social and political one, has changed considerably in Europe. People change their domicile and country more easily, they have continuous access to information on a planetary scale, and they have formerly unknown powers of consumption. This transformation has occurred within one generation, whereby children were generally more educated, cultivated and prosperous than their parents. The main reason for this change in lifestyle was the enormous increase in educational standards, from literacy levels to secondary and university education. For the first time in history more or less the whole population of Europe was literate and a very high percentage had a university education, some European countries, such as Britain, are planning for half the youth population to go to university in the next decades, more than a third are already doing so.\nNon-material belief systems, such as religious practices and regional folk customs, lost importance or disappeared altogether, but some have been revived for tourist purposes. The urbanisation process is one of the main reasons for this trend. Even in remote areas, old beliefs and practices waned or were converted into tourist attractions. The commercialisation of everything also reached European traditional culture and customs. Everything now had its price and was turned into a product that had to be attractively marketed. \"Traditional Europe\" was turned into a kind of television show for holiday makers. Tradition thus merged into the consumer society, backed by the mass media. Advertising was the most apparent means of directing behaviour across Europe, while the news and entertainment content of the media had an indirect impact, wrapped up in the commercials. The main linguistic medium of this convergence, also in Europe, was English. English achieved a growing importance after the war as the main commercial language owing mainly to its use by the Americans. The emergence of the internet then further boosted the use of English as a means of communication in Europe. English culture also made a contribution, as its European character rendered it in some ways more acceptable to Europeans than American culture. But over the following decades the mass culture of Western Europe was increasingly converging, no matter in what language it was expressed. One example would be the television shows with exactly the same concept, content and setting that are produced in all the main languages of Europe for the national audiences.\nThere has always been a tendency for elites from each European nation to share a world or global culture. But today we are faced with something quite new: a process of getting cultures to conform on a planetary scale, the global spread of mass popular culture. 90 per cent of films seen in the world, with the exception of India and Japan, are American productions. The same is true for music, the MTV generation listens to the same music world-wide and famous football teams only employ a handful of native players. Technological inventions, especially in the field of communications technology and the economic aspect of the global market have enhanced this global mass culture. There is however a difference between traditional 19th century high culture and modern mass culture. Traditional high culture spread via a European cultural model that has been adopted globally and was globalised in this way. A classical concert programme in Osaka, Chicago and Johannesburg presents the same kind of repertoire, i.e. European classical music. This is not true to the same degree of literature because of a very powerful limitation on globalisation, namely, language difference. Even literary classics and bestsellers have never been globalised in the way music and the visual arts are. In popular culture, on the other hand, we are faced with widespread syncretism at the beginning of the 21st century. The most obvious example is popular music and its assimilation of various elements, such as Afro-American, African, Latin American and white country and western elements. A combination of all different musical traditions is travelling around the world. Global popular culture is the product of the readiness to mix different elements coming from different parts of the world. High culture does not share this propelling force to the same degree yet. Popular culture is shared by everyone somehow, including those who are familiar with high culture, but the opposite is not true.\nYet in spite of the spread of mass global culture, there is clearly resistance and even a revival of local, regional and national cultures in Europe. The Welsh discover Welsh, the Bretons Breton, Pakistani girls in London dress traditionally. It seems that globalisation itself cultivates diversity and cultural differences as market opportunities which, although directed at niche markets, are profitable nevertheless. Furthermore multilingualism, by definition, is an obstacle to globalisation. The idea that one day all Europeans will speak English only and all other European languages will become extinct is utopian. One aspect must not be confused: globalisation, which is a real and wide-spread phenomenon, is quite different from cosmopolitanism, which is still extremely limited. Obviously, the clashes between dependence on tradition and individual autonomy on the one hand and between fundamentalism and cosmopolitanism on the other hand characterise the present globalisation process. The foundations of European societies and societies world-wide have been disrupted by the economic, social and cultural revolutions of the late 20thcentury. Anything like this break with traditional lifestyles, anything that upsets tradition has some effect on fundamentalism, and globalisation is obviously one of these triggers. Many of the traditional bonds that tied an individual to his/her reality have been weakened, such as loyalty to the family, village, neighbourhood and company; insecurities in bondage, relationships, in employment have increased. With the erosion of traditional societies, religions and beliefs and the snapping of links between generations, the values of the absolute a-social individualism have been dominating Western European capitalist societies. The capitalist economy fosters a society of otherwise unconnected self-centred individuals pursuing only their own gratification. Yet, the triumph of material progress based on science and technology has triggered exactly the opposite, namely a rejection of these attitudes by a large part of the European public. Calls for the \"community\", the small regional unit have become louder. The problem very often is that many people see no other way to define identity except by defining outsiders, who are not in the group. The growing economic disparities and the dissolution of traditional social norms and values, leave many people bereft and at a loss and make them easy targets for anti-foreigner and anti-European populist appeals.\n5. The Challenge of a Common European Social Policy5\nBy the time of the treaty of Nice in 2001 the EU had acquired considerable responsibility in the social field concerning the issues of employment, industrial health, industrial social costs, labour mobility and the role of social spending in social affairs. A more integrated approach to social issues, combining employment, social protection and economic and budgetary policy might be envisaged. In the early years of the Union, broader issues of social welfare were of little relevance, but the EU's social competences have grown since. There are several reasons for this. First, social affairs form a large component of national policy and have to be fitted into the European framework in the course of the integration process because more problems have a trans-national element nowadays. Second, Union policies have been reaching more into detailed areas of life over the years, such as equal opportunities policy. Especially during the 1980s the Commission, backed by the European Parliament, felt it was supposed to play an active and positive role in social affairs and stepped up the social momentum to strengthen the legitimacy of the Union. The Commission has often clashed with national governments, which still wish to claim credit with their citizens for their work to improve the conditions of life, notably over the \"social dimension\" of the single market. The argument from Brussels has always been that the Union has to come closer to its citizens, a view that encourages an ever more important social role. Social policy in the EU now covers several individual policies, and five Commissioners and their directorates have direct responsibilities for the items under the umbrella of social policies. Some provisions in treaties are clear-cut, but many are of a very general nature and do not require legislation but political programmes. That results in a wide variety of activities that demand a different degree of commitment from the member states. A consequence of this is the growing overlap of interest with that of national authorities which leads to cooperation, but also to conflict. National governments remain primarily in charge of education, health care, social security and housing, which are overwhelmingly financed from national sources. Community interest is often marginal to the main body of work carried out nationally since the EU is primarily driven by economic objectives and the current emphasis on subsidiarity cements this division. In education for example the EU accepts that the member states are mainly responsible for fulfilling their educational needs, but stresses the European dimension by supporting language programmes, staff and student mobility and cooperation between different member states' educational institutions. Political and human rights have been covered extensively in several treaties.\nThe 1990s were years of relative stagnation in European social matters, but the year 2000 marked a new beginning. The new optimistic strategic aim for the next decade was to become the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world, capable of sustaining economic growth with more and better jobs and greater social cohesion. This strategy should be implemented by improving the existing processes and by stepping up integration of social domains so far separated, such as employment and social protection, and of economic and social policies. The ultimate goal was to modernise the European social model by investing in people and combating social exclusion.\nThe table below shows the distribution of income or consumption in EU countries around 2000 in comparison with the United States, Russia and some other comparators. Most interesting is the Gini index, which is the Gini coefficient expressed as a percentage. This is a measure of inequality of income or wealth distribution. The lower the percentage, the more equal the wealth distribution in the country. The table shows that all 27 EU member states show a percentage far below the United States and Russia, which means that wealth is distributed much more equally in Europe. The European countries with the most equal distribution of income are Denmark (24.7), Sweden (25.0) and Finland (26.9) from the \"old\" EU countries, Slovakia (25.8), Hungary (26.9) and the Czech Republic (25.4) from the \"new\" EU countries, this of course on a lower per capita income level than the \"old\" EU countries. The countries with the biggest welfare gap in Europe are the Baltic States (between 35.8. and 37.7) in the \"new\" EU member states and Portugal (38.5), Italy (36.0) and Great Britain (36.0) in the \"old\". In Europe Austria (29.1) lies somewhere in the middle. These European figures have to be compared with Russia (39.9) and the USA (40.8).\nFigure 1: Income distribution. (Source: El-Agra, Ali, ed., The European Union. Economics and Policies, CUP 2007, p. 103)\n5.1 Industrial Relations in the EU\nThe social dimension of the EU depends among other things on whether labour unions succeed in mounting solidaristic action in defence of Europe-wide labour standards and social policies. Without a strategy of internationalisation, national labour unions are caught in the downward spiral of desperately defending their declining domestic power base, and they are in danger of falling for protectionism in defence against trends beyond their control. Since the 1980s the intensity of global economic competition, persistent high unemployment, the ascendancy of neo-liberalism, new forms of employment outside traditional contracts of employment, and new steps toward European integration have tended to undermine the effectiveness of organised labour at the national level. From a European perspective, globalisation refers to three interrelated processes, the rise of trans-national corporations, the partial loss of economic and political autonomy and of the sovereignty of national states and the global shift in economic power from Europe and North America to Pacific Asia and low-wage economies in general.\nThe rise of the trans-national corporations and the globalisation of the economy have changed the balance of power between firms, states, and unions. On top of that, labour's interests and objectives vary considerably across Europe due to substantial differences in the prosperity of Europe's national economies. Poorer countries tend to perceive Europe-wide labour standards as devices to protect richer countries against the transfer of investments and jobs towards the weaker economies. High labour standards thus draw only half-hearted support and are often undermined, especially when common social minimal standards are not backed up by a redistributive policy of the richer countries, paying more in order to enhance the productivity of the weaker economies and poorer regions.\nThe main economic rationale of European integration has always been to enhance factor mobility and efficiency rather than to promote redistribution and equity. Initially, it was assumed that increased economic interdependence would produce the convergence of economic factors. Yet, when no such tendency was observable, European politicians abandoned the harmonisation target in favour of the principles of \"mutual recognition\" of national producer standards, a qualified majority on EU deregulation measures, and subsidiarity in matters of social policy regulation. Despite the EU cohesion measures assisting weaker economic regions, the EU is not a redistributive welfare state guaranteeing social rights against the vagaries of the free market. Labour market institutions and social security arrangements in Europe still have a high national content, in spite of today's deregulated market forces and decades of European integration. The influence of unions over social and economic policies is typically confined within, and dependent upon, the national welfare states and, hence, different from one country to the next.\nBarriers that stand in the way of trans-national union co-operation in Europe are first internal barriers. Europe is a continent not only of peoples with different histories and languages, but also persistently diverse industrial relations. European labour unity poses the same problem as political union: how to encompass and manage national diversity. The sources of union diversity are rooted in the national histories of labour movements in Europe. The particular form of party-union relations within the labour movements varies widely across countries. This \"nationalisation\" of organised labour has deep and lasting roots far beyond national interests, values and symbols. Since nationally distinct patterns of representation and collective action are strongly institutionalised, these are obstacles to a common European social policy. The current downward trend in unionisation, the financial crisis of labour movements, and the unions' dependence on state or party support do not make the problem easier. As national labour unions come under pressure to spend their meagre resources on visible membership services, European-wide activities are hardly likely to receive priority. Across Europe, union movements maintain different linkages to the political system. In the past, union movements drew strength from their partisan linkages, especially when the allied party was holding government office. This partisan involvement has caused deep divisions within and large variations across European countries.\nCross-national diversity in industrial relations is also huge with respect to employer associations, collective bargaining, state regulation, and institutionalised forms of worker participation. Despite the expectations of convergence theory, different political, legal and cultural contexts bear heavily on industrial relations in each country. Moreover, the Brussels power play does not appeal equally to each national union movement; its appeal depends largely on national contingencies. Some union movements have reason to fear the loss of their \"quasi-public\" status at home; others hold so little status in the domestic public arena that they can only gain from going to Brussels.\nWhen organised labour engages in EU lobbying, it encounters a complex set of supranational and intergovernmental institutions with restricted regulatory competencies, underdeveloped executive powers and a multiplicity of actors. Many of the most important industrial relations issues are explicitly excluded by the EU treaties from supranational policy making, including the main rules of the game for collective bargaining, strike action, and worker representation. European supranational institutions, however, constitute a number of points of access for lobbying, in particular the European Commission, the European Parliament (EP), the Economic and Social Committee (ECOSOC) and also regional committees. Yet the powerful and remote governmental committees; the European Council, the Council of Ministers, and COREPER (Comit\u00e9 des Repr\u00e9sentants Permanents), composed of representatives from EU member states, elude labour unions and can be reached, if at all, only through national channels.\nYet the rulings of the European Court of Justice have tended to expand the scope of initially restricted social regulations under the EU treaties. The role of the EP has increased and now influences much more of EU legislation, but its powers are still limited compared to national parliaments. The Social Protocol requires the co-operation of the EP in several labour and social policy areas, but in these domains, the position of the Council of Ministers and hence national governments remain strong. Yet the extension of qualified majority voting and the signing of the Social Protocol should have improved the chances for a common social policy, but not much has been achieved for the European employees so far.\nThe Maastricht Treaty's Social Protocol includes a self-regulatory path, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity and with the joint proposal that organised labour and capital signed in 1991. Yet the achievements of the self-regulatory path are limited, owing to the hesitation of the European employer organisations to co-operate. From national labour histories, it is clear that once party-union ties and electoral power helped labour to obtain citizenship rights and invite state intervention on its behalf, employers were compelled to combine in central organisations in order to counter these efforts. Neither a EU welfare state nor a strong EP eager to integrate worker-citizens into a social Europe, are in sight. Therefore employers have not had much incentive to pursue the self-regulatory path. So even if European unions were well organised and overcame their differences, without some minimal co-operation of the European \"would be\" state and of European employers, it would be very difficult to conceive of any common European social policy.\nWhat are the barriers to European social policy regulation? For once, the EU is far removed from the \"stateness\" of the national welfare states that hold strong regulatory powers in the social policy and labour domain. The pull factors that have promoted nationwide co-ordination and centralisation in the domestic industrial relations arena appear to be lacking at the European level. As a predominantly intergovernmental institution the EU lacks many of the competencies and means of even the weakest of the member states.\n5.2 European Social Fund and Social Charter\nThe European Social Fund ESF, which was already incorporated in the EC Treaty and has been revised several times since then, has a dual role. It has the task of improving employment opportunities for workers in the internal market by increasing their mobility and facilitating their adaptation to industrial changes, in particular through vocational training and retraining, and contributing thereby to raising the standard of living. But it is also intended to contribute to the strengthening of the economic and social cohesion within the EU. The European Social Charter was first drawn up in Turin 1961 and was revised and substantially extended in Strasbourg 1996. In the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, signed 1950 in Rome, the member states guarantee the fundamental civil and political rights and freedoms to their populations, whereas in the Social Charter the member states secure to their populations the basic social rights in order to improve their standard of living and their social well-being. Furthermore the Charter concentrates on securing employment rights and on providing protection for workers.\nFrom the very beginning of the Common Market, the social and labour policy domain was of secondary concern. The Common Market's social provisions mainly dealt with measures to improve labour mobility and avoid the distortions that different national health and safety standards might cause in product market competition. With the exception of equal rights and some employment protection measures, the debate on European social policy remained dormant until the new initiatives on the \"social dimension\" led to the signing of the non-binding European Social Charter in 1989, revised in 1996 and to the related EC action programmes. With few significant exceptions, the EU social and labour policies remain subject to unanimity and thus intergovernmental bargaining, with ample space for threat and use of national veto. Moreover, the EU must rely on the apparatus and instruments of the member states for legal enactment and implementation. The principle of subsidiarity that was introduced in the Maastricht Treaty is readily invoked to set further limits on supranational competencies and EU regulatory intervention.\n5.3 Public Pensions and Health Care in the EU\nTwo areas of social policy, which are being hotly discussed in most countries of the EU at the moment, might call for some kind of common policy within the EU in the long run, but huge national divergences make such a co-operation very difficult and a consensus on a common strategy nearly unthinkable in the near future. These Europe-wide pressing social questions that urgently require reforms are the public health care system and the public pension system. A common policy in these sensitive welfare areas might be of interest for the employers, if the resulting systems are not too costly for them and more efficient than the different national ones, because a harmonised public pension and health care system would further enhance the mobility of the European workforce. But is such a Europe-wide harmonisation in the interest of the people in the EU? Those living in countries with very comprehensive welfare systems will definitely lose, while others might gain. It might further be a chance to get rid of a lot of red tape and inefficiencies in the national administrations, as for instance Austria with eight million inhabitants supports a system of dozens of regional and professional public social insurances.\nThe public health care system has become much too costly and unmanageable with a fast aging population and rising life expectancy in Europe, declining contributions and an ever more extensive and costly health service. What happens if no reforms are carried out in time and the public health system breaks down and is fully or partly privatised can be seen in some Central and Eastern European countries. There the life expectancy has declined since the breakdown of the public health system in 1989 because there is no appropriate affordable medical care for the elderly any more and there is no preventive healthcare, so that unhealthy life styles, especially among men, proliferate. But also within the EU the breakdown of a once most efficient and world-wide acclaimed public health service, namely that of Britain, can be observed. The NHS (National Health Service) has become much too costly and unwieldy and any attempt to reform it has come to nothing so far. As a consequence, Britain has been trying to recruit doctors from Southern Europe with an excess of medical doctors, such as Spain, Italy, Greece and from the countries of the 2004 EU enlargement for the NHS. Another initiative to combat deficiencies at home via EU cooperation is the transfer of patients waiting for operations to the continent. The NHS has already negotiated co-operations with French and German hospitals with free capacities. Operations there are much cheaper than in Britain even if the expenses of a person accompanying the patient are paid too. The drawback of this exchange is that not all patients can manage such a journey and that the free capacities in other EU states are not excessive. One further deficiency is the incompatibility of the different health care systems within the EU. There would be scope for integration and standardisation in the next years in this respect, so that in future moving across borders for medical treatment could become easier. The basis for the British initiative is the legal right of every EU citizen to get medical treatment in another EU country if his/her own country cannot provide appropriate treatment within reasonable time. At the moment, standardisation of medication is for instance lacking, so it is difficult for the doctor in Britain to continue the treatment prescribed by the hospital in Germany or France. Europe-wide standardisation of pharmaceuticals and medical examinations could be a first step of integrating European public health care systems.\nA far more challenging task would be a harmonised European pension system. Also in this area of social policy all EU countries are facing nearly insurmountable problems. The public pension systems are in crisis everywhere in Europe for three principle reasons. First, the aging population and second, the mandatory contribution imposed on participants, which is extremely high and third, the looming insolvency of the systems. The high imposed contribution rate, expressed in percentage of gross wages, is 18 per cent on average and in a few countries it even exceeds 20 per cent. The high contribution rate has negative effects on the economic system, impoverishing workers by reducing their take-home pay and encouraging contributory and fiscal evasion and the underground economy. The increase in labour cost tends to reduce Europe's international competitiveness. The wide gap in contributions within the EU can be explained by the largely diverse public pension systems in the EU, by the generosity of the promised pensions and the method of financing. The promise of generous public retirement benefits, measured by high replacement rates has long-term negative implications, as the institution should be financially self-sufficient, so a high replacement rate has to be covered by a high contribution. This is getting increasingly difficult with a drastically shrinking working population in Europe. As a consequence there has to be a trade-off between generosity and onerousness.\nA great challenge for a common EU social policy would be a harmonisation of public pension systems within the EU with the final aim of a common system which is quite unimaginable today, given the wide differences in the national systems. Modigliani/Ceprini have suggested a mixed system that combines the advantages of the \"Pay-as-you-earn\" system (PAYE) and funding. Since most countries in the EU rely on the PAYE system and all face to some degree the danger of bankruptcy associated with this method, they all need to consider sooner or later an overhaul of the existing public pension systems. This would be a unique opportunity for undertaking co-ordinated reforms resulting in a common pension system for the entire EU. The portability of the fund would not only encourage mobility of labour, but a portfolio diversification of all marketable assets over a large cross-section of the euro-market would ensure a return that would be far more stable than those obtainable on a purely national level. It would also prevent disasters like Enron pensions, which caused a revision of the British fund system provided by the employers, where the assets were also too much concentrated on the own company. Not only would all European countries profit from economies of scale and international diversification, but also pooling diversified groups of participants would lower liability risk, a typical defect of PAYE systems. In addition, a common pension system could benefit significantly from the diversification of demographic as well as asset risk. Such changes would require a deep revision of present systems, which might be easier to carry out and justify politically on an EU level than on a national level. The blame could always be put on Brussels by national politicians. The currently high and very diverse replacement rates would have to be harmonised and for most countries reduced and the retirement age would have to be raised in most countries, as in Austria where it is unsustainably low, and last but not least the PAYE system would have to be supplemented with a funded component with all its stock market risks. Nevertheless, transition problems and the rejection of European voters of this kind of integration will imply that a common public pension system will not be feasible in the near future and the question might also be, is it really desirable?\n5.4 The Swedish Model. A Social Model for Europe?\nInterestingly, it seems that once again Sweden has moved ahead of Europe in reforming its social system, so what seems to be the benefit of the new Swedish Model? There are still some universal benefits for families and children, but most other social payments, such as old age pensions are exclusively linked to earnings. In that way the Swedish Model covers all parts of the labour market. The Swedish social services are decentralised and delivered locally, also decision making on issues like health care and education has been decentralised, there is further regional financing of health care and public transport by regional taxation to a certain extent, the remainder is financed by the state and municipalities.\nParental insurance is available for a total of 480 days for every child. Furthermore every child has a right to a day care centre from the age of one on; it is the duty of the state to provide enough facilities. The fees are income-related, but the ceiling for one child is very low and it is even lower for the following children. Even night care centres are provided for parents who might need to work at night. As education and university training is of the highest priority in Sweden, schools and universities are free of charge and students receive maintenance loans to help them pay for their living costs. Those are some of the reasons why Sweden has one of the highest birth rates in Europe, together with other Scandinavian countries and Ireland. Women are encouraged to return to work soon on a part-time basis, while still receiving parental insurance. The labour market is much more flexible and child care facilities subsidised by the state abound. Statistics have shown the freer women are to make their own decisions, the more children they will have, as can be seen from Figure 2.\nFigure 2: Fertility and maternal employment rates 2005 (Source: The Economist July 12th2008)\nIn the Swedish Model social rights are individual in every area, that's why there is no female pension linked to the earnings of the male breadwinner. It is the state's duty to provide services that make it possible for everyone to participate in the labour market. There is a strong emphasis on active labour market participation, which has resulted in low life-cycle poverty, reduced inequalities and a high female participation in the labour market. The \"Rowntree Poverty Cycle\", which says that poverty always hits the young and the old the most, has been broken in Sweden. The Swedish social reform works because it is based on the principle of consensus. If you need to change structures, you have to find an interest coalition and then combine it with political mobilisation. This strategy worked with the reform of the pension system, based on the \"Matthew Principle\": You have to give to the richer people their share, so that they are more generous to the poor. In that way you achieve redistribution by everyone paying into the same system. The pension reform has to be seen as a response to an aging society and to critique of the welfare state, which had lost cost-control and had no incentive structure.\nIn Sweden liberals and conservatives already abandoned the neo-liberalist tax-cut approach some time ago, so there is a better political consensus. Extensive public funding of higher education is a reason for the success of the Swedish Model and the Swedish potential for technological innovation. The combination of innovation and a functioning social system is the basis of this model. People living in well-functioning social states are much more open for innovation and new creative ideas. Innovation should also be seen as social innovation in Sweden. R&D spending in Sweden is 4 per cent of GDP and funding of technological innovation is 8 per cent of GDP in Sweden. But due to the model function of the state also private investment in R&D is very high, and that makes the true difference. A common pension system and a common education system for everyone have fostered a feeling of belonging to the same society in Sweden. It is a combination of reliance on collective institutions and individualism. People are willing to pay taxes if they get good services, if they can rely on subsidised services and old-age pensions. Then functioning private alternatives can be put on top of the state system, not the other way round. The Swedish pension system works in the way that every year you work longer, this will add to your actual old-age pension. But the focus is on the quality of the jobs. This has to be good, working hours are not the only issue that counts, the quality of the work you do and your satisfaction have priority.\nWhat can be the relevance of the Swedish Model for Europe and the European Social Model? In future decentralisation of social services might be an important aspect for social policy in the EU. Brussels should be responsible for regulating the overall framework only, but the implementation should take place locally, not even on a state level necessarily, but on a regional level. In this way all services are closer to the citizens and the service providers are directly accountable to the local population. But as we are getting more and more integrated economically in Europe, we become more dependent on each other, also in social terms. The EU levels should be seen as a discussion forum on social aspects, such as the ministers of social affairs of the Nordic countries have been cooperating and exchanging ideas since the 1950s. Europe is facing common problems, the same demographic and social trends, such as rising income inequalities, problems of integration of immigrants, population decline, future fertility, future migration and future family patterns. You have to rethink social policy in an aging society: As there is an increased pressure on public finances we have to devote more resources. Furthermore too little attention has been given to the productive future tax base. We have to invest in the young because they are the productive future tax base. We have to improve the social system by introducing incentives: having the necessary social services for people to become future taxpayers, enabling them to become employed. All over Europe women see many negative aspects when asked about having a child, while men see more positive aspects, which of course creates a dilemma that has to be solved. The European population believes that governments should improve links to the labour markets, offer child care facilities and allow flexible working hours; traditional social policy comes second in the opinion of Europeans. The President of the European Commission Jos\u00e9 Manuel Barroso defined the European Social Model in 2005 with a stress on \"social inclusion and equality of opportunity\". The new dimension to be included should be \"families and children\". A discussion on \"basic social values\" is urgently needed and pressure is to be put on EU politicians to focus more on the social dimensions of the European Union.\n6. Does the EU Need a New Welfare Model?6\nWhat should not be forgotten when talking about the European welfare state is that there is an endogenous element in Europe's social change today; globalisation is not necessarily the only cause of these changes. The great social challenges that have to be tackled and the reasons why the European welfare model might need to be reformed are the following four: first, the demographic aging of the society, second, the change of women's roles in European society, third, a radical evolution of the concept of family and fourth, the demands of the knowledge economy.\nAt the moment approximately 10 per cent of Europe's GDP on average is spent on pension payments. It is predicted that the rapid increase of the aging population in Europe will cause an extra 50 per cent spending on the elderly by the year 2040, which would mean that the young cohorts are very small and a huge demographic imbalance is about to occur. The 80+ group is forecast to double every 20 years and they do not just cause pension payments to rise, but they are the ones most in need of care. So in effect, life expectancy in Europe is improving dramatically and the working age population is shrinking. Due to the change of women's roles, few women will take care of the elderly at home by 2040. Extended residential care facilities and home help services will devour an extra 5-6 per cent of Europe's GDP on average already within the next few years. Privatising the social services will not solve the problem because the total social costs will not be any smaller if you put them on the market. The savings on schools and kindergartens will be insignificant and we would probably need four times the immigration levels of the 1990s in Europe to replace the workforce that is retiring. The method to share these huge costs might be a renewal of the Musgrave Principle, the generational contract in financing public pensions. The intergenerational solidarity principle results in the simple fact that one year more of work means one year less of pension payments. Early retirement in the past was due to bad health conditions, but nowadays health conditions are much better and still improving. The big gap in skills between older and younger workers is also narrowing, so the seniority principle might have to be questioned, which makes older workers too expensive and raises pension payments if only the last working years are calculated for pensions. The problem is not one of intergenerational solidarity, but it is one of intra-generational inequity because there is no equality in death. European workers have a five year shorter life expectancy than professionals, which results in the fact that professionals receive the higher pension payments and live longer and this gap is widening continuously. Consequently, one proposed solution would be that pensions have to be based on life-time earnings and financing has to be more progressive because the pensions of the well-to-do are the most expensive. A further suggestion for a reform of the European model would be to extend the working life of high life-time earners, so that they would retire later than low life-time earners. Another model proposes a basic flat-rate pension for basic coverage for those most at risk, but a highly tax-subsidised private pensions system further increases inequalities in Europe, as these schemes traditionally cater for the wealthy part of the population.\nMoving now to the changed role of women and the evolution of the family, it can be observed in Scandinavian countries that the disappearance of the family home care unit and the general and widespread public care for the elderly does not reduce intergenerational solidarity, on the contrary, contact to the elderly tends to be more frequent, intense and of a higher quality than when the elderly are cared for at home because it takes away the huge strain from the caring family member. Yet the best way to think about the elderly is to think about children because when you start out poor in life the chances are high that you will end up poor. Unfortunately young adults fare poorly on the labour market in many European countries today if they have children. European society is not more hedonistic today, young people still desire 2-3 children on average, but if child care and work is incompatible, the young family loses one income. There is a welfare gap in Europe and citizens do have difficulties to form families. That's why we have 1.4 children per woman in Austria and only 1.2 in Italy and Spain for instance. Spain and Greece were lagging far behind in Europe concerning female employment, but they are fast catching up and there is evidence of the enormous amount of wealth that is being created in GDP if women enter the labour market in growing numbers. What we need in Europe is a basic package of maternal and paternal leave, full-time child care for everyone at an affordable price from an early age on. At the moment child care costs swallow a large amount of a woman's wages in many European countries and this hits poorer women more if the costs are the same for everyone. Statistics have shown that the probability of having a child doubles when the woman has a permanent employment contract as compared to insecure employment conditions or unemployment. Another interesting trend is visible in Europe, namely that educated women make sure that the men they live with contribute more to home production before they have children. This helps men to change their life styles and sociologists speak of a \"feminisation\" of male life styles, while the radical change in the role of women leads to a \"masculinisation\" of female life styles. These are most dynamic elements of change in European society. Generally women are selecting their partners in different ways today from the past, when they used marriage as an upward mobility tool. Nowadays we can find much more marriage homogeneity and by that more social polarisation, e.g. two highly-skilled parents versus two unskilled parents. This enforces inequalities in the life chances of children.\nThe final reason for a need for reform is the fast spreading knowledge economy. Which children will lose out in tomorrow's knowledge economy is not due to genetic inferiority, but to institutional deficiencies in some European countries. The interesting aspect for analysis is how many children end up far below average at school because that shows an institutional deficiency. Here Britain is doing very badly and Finland and Sweden are rating on top. The rising income inequality in Europe prevents poor parents from investing in their children's education and that is a very alarming trend. A similar development can be identified in the relative performance of immigrant children, who usually do less well at school due to the economic situation of their parents and their lack of education. These gaps are unusually large in Germanic-speaking countries, such as Germany, Austria, the Netherlands and Belgium, whereas Britain is doing much better. European society has a stake that the life chances of all tomorrow's children are excellent because they will provide the pensions. As they are a small cohort Europe cannot afford to waste any chances. A child gets most stimuli at pre-school age and these are determined by money and cultural environment. The more money a family has, the more they can invest in the child. It reduces the child's future chances radically if the family is poor. US data show that child poverty results in two years less schooling. Poor parents take few risks and have the child quit school rather than help him /her to continue. So, one way to fight child poverty in Europe would be to make sure that all mothers have the chance to earn a proper salary. The second decisive stimulus at pre-school age is the learning culture in the family. This is not clearly visible to the policy maker, but has a tremendous effect on the performance of children at school later on. This learning culture includes indices such as books in the household or parents who read to their children. This is the reason why early childhood intervention programmes, such as the Children's Centres in the United Kingdom for disadvantaged children from age 0 on, are so successful and extraordinarily effective. That is the time when the foundation for learning in a knowledge economy is laid. If the first five years are wasted, this gap cannot be made up. The more you stimulate learning early on, the easier it is to learn later on.\nThe solution is universal affordable childcare in Europe with invariably high standards and an excellent preparation before the children start school. As both parents in full employment might have an adverse effect on the development of a very young child, there should be parental leave and part-time work opportunities provided for parents with children below the age of one, but after the age of one child care facilities can provide an adequate learning surrounding for all children, independent of their parents' income. Scandinavian countries introduced universal early childcare some time ago and that is one reason why they are doing much better at Pisa studies. There are very few children lost, few drop-outs, fewer dysfunctional children and the society is much more homogenous and can respond better to the knowledge economy challenge. Consequently, basic European standards along the lines mentioned above which are then implemented independently in the different regions according to the principle of subsidiarity might be a new social model for Europe.\n7. The Challenge of a \"Borderless World\" for Europe7\nThe trans-national developments of the financial and communications revolution are in many fields Europe's own achievements and Europe is well positioned as a major beneficiary of the globalisation of finance, the media, industry and commerce provided worldwide financial instabilities do not occur. But two serious problems might arise in Europe from the creation of a borderless world. First, the unrestricted globalisation might create in Europe the social gulf that can already be observed in the US. An upper stratum of financial advisers, hedge fund managers, lawyers, engineers, consultants and analysts might emerge that caters to trans-national demand for their services. While the lower four fifths of society will be at the mercy of trans-national companies moving their production and services in and out of regions for the sake of comparative advantage. The social consequences might not be as severe as in the US if the EU took up the challenge and interfered. In comparison to the US, Europe has a deeper sense of company roots and a higher level social security network and more interventionist state traditions.\nThe second problem implies the question whether the emergence of a borderless world contradicts the EU's aim for economic as well as political unity. Those integrationists have been gaining ground, who lobby for maintaining and enhancing barriers between Europe and non-Europe because after all there was no sense in creating a unified Europe if virtually everyone else could enjoy its privileges. The larger implications of this concept are that far from dismantling national borders, the individual nation states are simply being folded into a larger economic unit. As the world economy will increasingly be dominated by large regional trading blocks, this development will leave the countries outside desperately begging for market access, which they would be unlikely to get. This would further reduce the employment prospects at home and drive more migrants to Europe in search for jobs.\nThe contradiction between national purposes and trans-national changes exists in all countries, but is more obvious in the EU because the EU is heading for a closer integration when trends in technology and communication tend to loosen state controls, erode borders and question the concern about national identity. Nations in Europe are still of the highest political importance despite the fact that the potential of the nation state to interfere and regulate in a globalised economy is severely reduced. The concept of nations still determines how European societies think about themselves and about the relationships with others. Yet, a decline in traditional loyalties, structures and associations which have made nations the focal point of political and economic identity can be witnessed. There is a growing relocation of authority to, on the one hand, larger trans-national units in the economy and, on the other hand, smaller regional or ethnic units in politics and culture. The arising question is whether there will ever be a time when an organisation like the EU will appear legitimate in the eyes of its peoples in the same way as national governments were and how will such an organisation relate in a meaningful way to the needs of regional units such as Tuscany, South Wales or the Tyrol.\nSince the end of the 20thcentury the world has been driven by two diverse currents. On the one hand a global drive towards greater worldwide integration of technology, communication and trade and on the other hand a revived tendency towards ethnic separation, which was exacerbated by the collapse of a transcendent \"creed\", namely communism and the rise of religious fundamentalism. Especially in times of economic pressure internal questioning of national borders that were superimposed, often from outside, upon very different ethnic groups, crops up. Europe has always had a critical historical role with respect to nation states. In the first half of the 20thcentury Europe offered dreadful examples of excessive nationalism and ethnic prejudice, after 1945 Europe was seeking to learn from mistakes and created a structure to enhance economic integration and reduce national differences. Since the fall of the Iron Curtain Europe has had to move forward again, integrating Central and Eastern European countries. The EU now has to seek to create a responsible and manageable entity, bridging the gap between deepening the union and widening its membership and on top of that, Europe cannot stand apart from the problems of the rest of the world.\n8. The EU Budget: The Distribution of Funds8\nThe present financial framework that has been agreed upon for the years 2007 until 2013 comprises six headings. The EU funds are subdivided into the areas of, first, sustainable growth including competitiveness and cohesion for growth and employment; second, preservation and management of natural resources; third, citizenship, freedom, security and justice; fourth, the European Union as a global player; fifth, administration and sixth, compensations related to the latest enlargement of the EU. In the table below one can see that the two largest shares constitute heading one, competitiveness and cohesion with 44 per cent and heading two, natural resources with 43 per cent.\nFigure 3: Distribution of EU budgets 2007-2013 (Source: http://ec.europa.eu/budget/)\nIn heading one, eight cents out of every euro of the EU's annual budget are spent on economic growth and jobs and 36 cents on cohesion, assisting less advantaged regions to develop. In heading two 43 cents are assigned to agriculture, rural development, environment and sustainable fishing. In heading three 1 cent out of every euro is used to support the fight against terror, organised crime and illegal immigration and 1 cent to protect Europe's cultural heritage, to support active participation in social debates and to protect public health and consumer interests. In heading four 6 cents go into emergency aid and long-term assistance for prosperity, stability and security outside the EU and finally in heading five 6 cents are spent on running the EU, the administrative costs, including staff and building costs. So despite a widespread belief, the EU administration is quite cheap compared to national administrations. Furthermore the imbalance between the social and cultural and the economic aspect of the EU is highlighted by the budget distribution; 87 per cent of the annual budget is spent more or less exclusively on economic and agricultural issues.\nAnother interesting aspect for analysis is where the funds for the EU budget come from. In 2007 15 per cent or \u20ac 17.3 billion came from Traditional Own Resources (TOR), which consist of duties charged on imports from non-EU countries. The VAT-based resource accounts for 15 percent of total revenue or \u20ac 17.8 billion. It is the uniform percentage rate that is applied to every member state's harmonised VAT revenue. Finally 69 per cent or \u20ac 80 billion of total revenue is made up of the uniform percentage rate (0.73%) of General National Income of every member state. The total EU revenue for 2007 was \u20ac 116.4 billion; the funds committed were slightly higher due to the fact that long-term projects can be spread over several years.\nFigure 4: EU budget funds (Source: http://ec.europa.eu/budget/)\nFor this analysis it is further interesting to see which country received which amount of funds in 2007 and for what.\nFigure 5: EU funds recipients 2007 (Source: http://ec.europa.eu/budget/)\nIn Figure 5 it can be seen that all member states with the exception of Belgium and Luxemburg, which for obvious reasons used up a large amount for administration, received most EU funds for agriculture, rural development and economic growth and employment. France, Spain, Germany and Italy were by far the biggest recipients in 2007; they together received \u20ac 50.5 billion.\nThe projected EU annual budget's distribution for 2009 is within the framework agreed upon for the financial period 2007 to 2013. Cohesion and competitiveness for growth and employment account for 44.7 per cent; and direct aid and market related expenditure together with rural development, which basically refers to agriculture and environment, account for 42.8 per cent. 5.7 per cent will be spent on administration and 5.5 per cent on aid to non-EU countries and meagre 1.1 per cent on citizenship, freedom, security and justice. 0.2 per cent constitutes compensations for the two new member states, Bulgaria and Romania.\nFigure 6: Proposed EU budget for 2009 (Source: http://ec.europa.eu/budget/)\n9. The \"Old\" and the \"New\" Europe\n9.1 The EU Enlargements 2004/2007 and their Impact on EU Integration9\nThe EU enjoyed a mystique founded on its claim to be a new and more perfect type of political order, capable of lasting European peace. The complexity of its laws and institutions helped, by blurring popular understanding of what the Union did. After the enlargement in 2004/07 nobody imagined that all 27 countries were heading for political union in the way once projected. The EU might now become an organisation with much less political and legal authority. This would be manageable for existing members, so long as the single market and the euro kept the economic integration intact. It would, on the other hand, be seen as a catastrophe by countries counting on accession. An end to enlargement, of which some in the EU now talk, might have negative political consequences in those areas. In the east the limits to Europe are most imprecise. The question of where to situate those limits has returned since the fall of the Iron Curtain. The enlargement of 2004/07 fixed the Union's eastern borders at the edges of the Baltic States, of Poland, Slovakia and Hungary. Now of 15 countries lying to the east and south east of those new borders, at least 10 more hope to become members, most of them within the next 10 years: Turkey, Croatia, Albania, Bosnia, Macedonia, Serbia & Montenegro, Ukraine, Moldavia, Georgia. At the back of these countries looms Russia. It has of course no desire to join the Union as an ordinary member, but it fears loss of influence in Eastern Europe, and it has long tried to construct a countervailing block of ex-Soviet countries, with itself at the centre.\nThe history of the EU can almost be written in terms of its struggle to find alternatives to membership, which it could offer to keep its neighbours happy but excluded. Yet again and again the EU agreed to an enlargement and made it work. This might encourage Turkey, Albania or Ukraine, none of which will be inside the Union for years yet, but none of which can be easily excluded for ever, or while the EU lasts. The EU's latest non-membership strategy for nearby countries goes by the name of \"European Neighbourhood Policy\". Under this policy, the Union offers the countries of North Africa, the Mediterranean, the southern Caucasus and Eastern Europe graduated access to the single market, plus financial and technical aid, in exchange for reforms bringing them closer to the Union's political and economic models. These are presented as a substitute for membership, not as a precursor to it. Right now on French initiative a \"Union for the Mediterranean\" is being created to incorporate the southern and eastern Mediterranean countries. This is a follow-up of the Barcelona process, which was initiated in 1995. It is a small start, but again as often in EU development, there are important business interests behind the new scheme when the economies around the Mediterranean are taking on globalisation, at a time of a new openness to trade and foreign finance there. These countries still take less than 10 per cent of all Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) from the EU and might offer fair economic chances in future. Unfortunately there is no sign that the civil societies in the countries of the eastern and southern Mediterranean are strengthened by this cooperation, there is little mentioning of democracy, human rights and civil rights in the negotiations with the autocratic rulers there, which might constitute preconditions for financial assistance from the EU. Historically such an economic cooperation would remind of Imperial Rome, when across the southern Mediterranean up till northern Europe the same currency was used, Latin was the lingua franca and efficient transport routes connected the whole Mediterranean with northern and western Europe.\nThe idea that the Union is needed to stop its founding members from going to war with one another has long faded. Stripped of its early utopian rhetoric, the EU can be seen as the sum of its functions, several of them favourable. Many members want more flexibility in tackling economic problems, not to speak of social or cultural issues. So, conventional wisdom in Brussels has come round to the idea that not every country needs to take part in every Union project. This trend used to be called \"Europe \u00e0 la carte\" and some believe this would lead to the break-up of the EU. In some ways the Union is indeed growing weaker. The supranational institutions are losing ground against nations and governments. But \"Europe a la carte\" may also mean a more accepted and more effective union, internally. What matters externally is that Europe's political and economic values should go on penetrating and changing the countries around. It may sound arrogant to talk of the Union as offering the only viable model for European states, but so far the alternatives are not encouraging. The Union has learned how to export stability and prosperity through enlargement. The issue today is whether or how to continue enlarging, how to persuade public opinion within the Union that stability and prosperity can be exported without importing instability and poverty in exchange. That is doubly difficult when currently public scepticism cuts so deep.\nBy culture and language, by history and landscape, the countries that joined the EU in 2004 offered more of a complement than a contrast to the existing membership. Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovenia were recognisably still related to the Habsburg Empire, Poland and the Baltics were still related to the Hanseatic order. What was really divisive was the gap in real income. This gap widened with the accession of Romania and Bulgaria in 2007. This explains why the EU has lost so much of its enthusiasm for enlargement despite the relative success of the last rounds. EU citizens have become worried about competition for jobs and investment from these countries. The EU is reluctant to add to that competition by promising to admit even more low-wage countries later. In contrast to that, low-wage countries next door could be seen more as a resource than a threat: they attract business that would otherwise go to low-wage countries on the other side of the globe.\nThe EU's newest members, though much poorer than France or Germany, are already a lot richer than they were immediately after communism's collapse. The EU led the way in Central Europe's rehabilitation, helped by America's USAID and other international agencies, giving or lending 18 billion dollars to Central Europe in the 1990s. Multinational companies bought or built operations there. They set new standards for wages, training, workplace safety and technology transfer. But this intervention brought deep change only because the Central Europeans really wanted to anchor their democracies and raise their long-term living standard, even at the cost of short-term disruption. The accession process gave politicians an alibi for unpopular reform. Voters wanted the orientation towards Western Europe, if not for themselves, then for their children. From the viewpoint of the Western European countries the transition in Central Europe has worked extremely well. By the end of the 1990s, the countries there had reached a level of political and institutional development that qualified them for membership, even though their incomes and wages were still a fraction of those in the older member states. Now their economies are continuing to grow at substantial rates.\nThe fear of workers flooding in from Central Europe has caused all but three countries in Western Europe to close their labour markets to the new members for up to seven years. In 2005 France and Germany blocked an EU law opening up national markets to services from anywhere in the Union, for fear that self-employed workers would arrive by this route. The new members have also upset the old with their taste for flat and often low rates of personal income tax and corporate tax, chosen mainly for ease of collection. Other payroll taxes and indirect taxes mean that the overall tax burden in the new member states is still similar to that in the old. Investors love the new members for their low wages, high productivity and simple taxes. If you build a factory there, you get EU market access at far less than average EU costs. Because of the above mentioned reasons it is often cheaper to produce goods in Poland than in China, and should the Ukraine be accepted as a candidate, the recent rate of foreign direct investment there could triple. It was not only EU market access that boosted investment in Central Europe since the 1990s, it was also the expectation that the rule of law and the quality of government would rise towards EU levels. Firms will build factories in difficult places if they have to, but they much prefer places where contracts can be enforced, property rights are secure, taxes are predictable, executives feel safe, and workers get basic social services from the state. Conditions like these help to mobilise domestic investment too.\nIf Ukraine and Turkey were brought inside the EU, they would create, together with Romania and Bulgaria, a low-wage industrial powerhouse in Europe's backyard, a zone of 150 million people able to compete even with China and India. This thought might frighten highly paid workers in Germany or France. But it might be better for all of Europe if new investment went to Eastern Europe and not to faraway China and Brazil. More investment and more growth in low-wage Europe will generate more demand for goods and services from high-wage Europe. The EU countries with more to fear from further enlargement should be those in Central Europe which are the Union's lowest-cost producers now. Slovakia has had spectacular success in attracting foreign direct investment, especially from the car industry. Soon it will produce more cars per head of population than any other country in the world. But in five to ten years the country's competitive advantage in mass production will slowly, but permanently decline as Romania, Turkey and the Ukraine catch up. Politically it may be a good idea to accept that free movement of labour is incompatible with further EU enlargement. If Western Europe wants to block cheap labour, there is still capital mobility to compensate. If workers cannot come looking for jobs, the jobs will go looking for the workers. The Central European experience shows that the more assured countries can be of EU membership, the more foreign investment they will receive. Less investment might also mean fewer jobs at home, lower incomes, less trade and more pressure on the workers to find jobs elsewhere.\nThe further east you went in the first decade after the fall of communism, the more remote the EU became, and the easier it was for populists to capture power. In every post-communist country, the rejection and collapse of the old order forced at least some shaky first steps towards democracy and the market economy. But this progress soon faltered if predatory groups of rich and violent people could invade and capture government, rigging privatisations, stealing public money and blocking further reforms that might encourage more competition in business or in politics. This was the story of reform in much of the Balkans, and in much of the Commonwealth of Independent States (the ex-Soviet Union minus the Baltics). Often the new ruling groups defended themselves by claiming that conditions in the country were not suited to reforms along Western lines. The inverse of reform in post-communist countries was corruption. The term covers different forms of corruption, but the kind most harmful to a whole country is \"state capture\", whereby a group of political and business insiders bribes or bullies its way into control of a ministry or a government agency and then runs it for its private profit. State capture may establish a hidden political regime at odds with the constitutional purpose of state institutions. It undermines democracy as well as economic growth. This might be one reason why democracy and growth have gone hand in hand in most post-communist Eastern European countries. The prospect of EU accession has not only improved the economies of these countries, but has also contributed to a reshaping of the civil society, boosted the democratic process, stabilised the legal systems and opened the countries up to cultural exchange. Even social change was initiated on several levels through the cooperation with experts from EU countries, who have been assisting in establishing a social network modelled on Western institutions.\nEU membership has boosted trade further, which surprised observers from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), as they had thought that the free-trade arrangements agreed in previous years had already exhausted the potential. But it seems that quite a few people were willing to make necessary investments only when these countries were inside the EU. The wider effect of the EU on public administration is still unclear. It may have given bent bureaucrats more cause to worry about outside scrutiny. But others have found even more rules that they can use to extort money from hapless firms and individuals. Rent-seeking industries have grown for instance and new high tobacco prices set by the EU have been a huge windfall to local smugglers. An even bigger difficulty is reforming the most complex bits of the public sector: health and education. Employers increasingly complain about labour shortages, especially skilled salespeople and production workers. Unfortunately the education system is not producing the right kind of workers. Indeed, it seems to be deteriorating. School scores, like health statistics, are worsening. These bits of the public sector are still rooted in the communist-era thinking: inefficient, old-fashioned, largely immune from competition. In countries that have reformed higher education, new educational offers have begun to make a difference. But schools sometimes still prize memorisation and regurgitation over critical thinking and creativity. That encourages cheating and corruption and is bad for long-term competitiveness. Yet, as we have seen in chapter 5, most Western European countries find reforming health and education very difficult, too. But the Eastern European countries need growth and better public services soon to stop their best people from emigrating and to end poverty. They must still improve their competitiveness if they are not to lose markets to rivals in Asia.\n9.2 The Present State of European Integration & the State of European Nations10\nDespite the undeniable success of the latest enlargement rounds, the dissatisfaction of European citizens, especially of the \"old\" EU countries, has soared and the reasons for this backlash are manifold, the history of European nations, the political establishment, the speed and the size of the latest enlargements, the lack of communication and an excessive bureaucracy.\nThe phenomenon of different European \"nations\" cannot be denied and ignored today by anybody. The intellectuals who praised the \"end of nationalism\" at the end of the 20thcentury were totally mistaken. Nationalism is in all European countries - and the whole world - an important psychological factor among the populations. One just has to watch reactions before, during and after international football matches. These reactions are nationalistic. If you look at the disastrous period of National Socialist history in Germany and Austria, this part of German history is not only engrained in the German and the Austrian memory, but also in the historical memory of Czechs, Poles, the Dutch, Danes and the French. Those terrible incidents took place only half a century ago, and they will not be easily forgotten in those countries. We should not deny the important role that historical memory plays for the present.\nThe idea of the nation is the root of democracy, but it is also the reason for the worst outbreaks of atrocities and the source of the most vicious wars in history. Yet while we must continue to live with the nation, the nation need not give rise to nationalism. The nations in Europe have been developing over many generations, the different European languages over many hundreds of years; German and French over more than 1000 years, Italian over 2000 years. National cohesion has developed later, but language is usually connected to the nation with few exceptions such as Switzerland. Yet there are many problems that a nation alone cannot solve in Europe nowadays. One small nation alone cannot, first, preserve peace and second, achieve economic progress. Those were precisely the two main reasons for the foundation of the European Community: to preserve peace and to achieve economic competitiveness. The strength of the national idea in Europe might prevent the creation of a \"European nation\" which was supposed to replace national identities. Italians, French people and Germans will remain Italians, French people and Germans first of all and Europeans next, which would already be an achievement.\nIt is the fault of politicians in all EU countries that the European integration has been hastened in the last ten years because the people in Europe were unprepared and it was an excessive demand on them; the politicians asked too much of them. That's why the voters in France and the Netherlands first and then in Ireland rejected the European constitution and the Lisbon contract. They protested against the neo-liberalist lobby that is driving EU integration forward solely to its own advantage and in its own interest. The people in the EU are afraid of losing their national identity, they are afraid of an enlargement process that is much too fast for them and they are annoyed with excessive EU bureaucracy. After a 1000-year long development of the nation and national histories in Europe you cannot expect to complete a European integration in a few decades.\nRushing European populations into an ever closer integration without respect for their centuries old individual social, economic and political traditions risks and conceals the undeniable success of the European Union: half a century of continued peaceful development and economic success in Europe, the longest period of peace ever in European history, which was characterised by war in the past. The European Union has achieved a union of European nations in a peaceful way and with the consent of all members, which is unique in history and an achievement that should not be put at risk. If you want to integrate you have to go slowly and you should not overburden the populations concerned. It seems as if this success has made the politicians reckless, they acted too quickly and thoughtlessly, without the appropriate concepts and the relevant information and preparation. Only 20 years after the foundation of the European Community in 1973 the first enlargement took place and it only comprised three countries, Great Britain, Ireland and Denmark, also in the next two rounds of enlargement only three countries acceded each time and in 2004 ten new members were incorporated. This enlargement was too big and too fast for the European population. A step towards further integration, towards an \"ever closer union\" might take another 50 years, but compared to the centuries long development of European nations this is a short time span.\nAnother serious problem is excessive bureaucracy. All EU member states are responsible for this negative development because they have agreed to this red tape. There are too many regulations which are totally unnecessary; there is no need for so many rules. This burdensome bureaucracy can only cause anger and frustration in the populations of Europe.\nAt the moment the usual drivers of European integration, France and Germany, are struggling economically and are troubled by internal problems, but initiatives could come from other countries as well. Despite its problems France should still have a special place in Europe and act as a leader because of its prestige in the world and its position in the UN Security Council. Britain does not really want to or cannot, because of the British voters, accept the role as leader. Traditionally Britain has always been reluctant in getting involved in the project Europe; they rather look across the Atlantic. New members such as Poland have fully emancipated themselves and want to play a bigger part in the European concert of nations. In every century the European power balance changed several times decisively, also at the end of the 20thcentury with the disintegration of the Soviet Union, not through war, but through internal collapse and the protests in Poland and Hungary. Without this development the unification of Germany would not have been possible. So, one can predict that also in the 21 st century the European power balance will change dramatically several times.\nThe end of the Cold War changed the situation in Europe radically as it meant the end to the fear of a 3rd World War and of Soviet atomic weapons. The Cold War had created clear and stable frontiers: on the one hand the democratic West, on the other hand the autocratic communist sphere, and somewhere far away the Third World. Now this has changed completely. Billions of Chinese, Indians, Vietnamese and other Asians are entering the global market. During the times of the Cold War, people under the communist sphere of influence had no real share in the global market. Globalisation has effected enormous changes in Europe because many European economies are export-oriented. The German economy for instance is far more globalised than the US economy. Germany exports half of its GDP, the US only 10 per cent. Europe has not realised early enough that globalisation would mean a competition for jobs in Europe. The Europeans thought that if they continued to produce the goods and services they had produced before at those high levels of quality they would be able to keep their expensive jobs. They did not foresee that e.g. China would be able to produce these goods and services at the same quality more cheaply in a short time. The only solution is to create new and innovative products and services that require a lot of research and a highly specialised workforce, which the emerging economies cannot produce yet and offer them on the global market. European unemployment and especially youth unemployment is one of the biggest problems that is not being tackled so far, because it is underestimated or ignored by politicians who slavishly follow the neo-liberalist market ideology. To conclude it can be said that socio-economic aspects will play a much bigger role in European integration in future whether European politicians and businessmen like it or not.\n10. The Economic versus the Social Aspects in European States and in the European Union11\nAfter the end of World War II the European states were characterised by a dense network of social benefits and economic strategies, which guaranteed that the state served its citizens and not the citizens the state, as in the centuries before. From the 1970s on these all-encompassing ambitions of the Western European welfare state lost their appeal because the welfare state could no longer fulfil its promises. Unemployment, inflation, economic recessions and transformations on the international capital markets and in the field of electronic communication put constraints on the individual European states to meet the expectations of the citizens. But, most of all, the legitimacy of the interventionist state was undermined by the inflexibility, inefficiencies and waste of the public sector. In the peak years of the European welfare state a consensus was achieved across party lines that in many ways the state would do a better job than the unrestricted free market, not just in judicial and security matters, but also in distributing goods and services and implementing strategies for social cohesion and cultural diversity. That these matters should be left to individual self-interest and the free market was seen as a remnant of pre-Keynesian times. Between 1950 and 1973 government spending rose in Great Britain from 34.2 to 41.5 per cent, in France from 27.6 to 38.8 per cent and in Western Germany from 30.4 to 42 per cent. Most of the increase in government spending went on insurance, pensions, health, education and housing. In Scandinavia alone the share of national income devoted to social security rose 250 per cent in Denmark and Sweden in this period of time. The success of post-war European capitalism was everywhere accompanied by an enhanced role of the public sector. Yet the nature of the state involvement varied considerably. Apart from public transport and communication direct ownership of industry was rare; the state preferred to exercise indirect control. The state tried to influence the smooth workings of commerce, politics and societies in many ways. It was responsible, directly or indirectly, for the employment and salaries of millions of citizens. The diminishing standing of public authorities did not immediately lead to a decline in the role of the state, especially in cultural matters. There was a broad consensus in Western Europe that only the state had the resources to service the cultural needs of the citizens. Across party lines it was seen as the responsibility of the state to not only provide housing, employment and public services, but also cultural nourishment. It was the time of European cultural subsidies.\nWith the new appeal of the neo-liberalist and monetarist economic policies of Milton Friedman and Friedrich von Hayek, Keynesianism was replaced first in the Great Britain of Margaret Thatcher and a great wave of privatisation and deregulation set in. The ideological zeal of the old champions of individualism was reinforced by the apparent impotence and failure of the conventional economic policies after 1973. The free marketers were on the offensive and came to dominate the politics of the 1980s. The neo-liberalists had little trouble attacking the rigidities, inefficiencies and economic wastages so often sheltering under government policies and there was considerable scope for applying the neo-liberal cleansing agent to the mixed economy with beneficial results. There were good grounds for some of the disillusionment with state-managed industries and public administration that became common then. As an economy Britain was after the Thatcher years a more efficient place, but as a society it suffered a meltdown with long-term negative consequences. One of Margaret Thatcher's reportedly famous quips was: \"There is no such thing as society\". By disdaining and dismantling all collectively-held resources, by insisting on an individualist ethic, serious harm was done to British public life. Citizens were transformed into shareholders or stakeholders and the public space became a market place. British people lost respect for socially defined state functions and uncritically emulated the \"American model\". Services that remained in public hands were starved of resources, while significant wealth was accumulated in the deregulated sectors of the economy, such as the City of London. The mere belief that business was good and government was bad - building on US President Ronald Reagan's attitude that \"government was not the solution, but the problem\" - did not constitute an alternative economic policy. In any case, most neo-liberal governments were obliged to manage and steer their economies while claiming they were only encouraging market forces. Regimes most deeply committed to laissez-faire economics were often building up gigantic budget deficits, as Reagan in 1979 till 1982 with an armaments build-up and the deliberate management of the dollar, and they were sometimes profoundly nationalist and distrustful of the outside world, just as Margaret Thatcher. Tony Blair's successes rested on the Thatcher inheritance by dismantling the public sector and replacing it with \"privatised\" entrepreneurial Britain. A new consensus had been formed about the questionable role of the state and nowadays there is nearly no one who would defend its position in a civil society.\nThis model became a model for Europe and contributed to today's disdain of the role of the state in most parts of Europe. Mediterranean Europe as well as Eastern Europe would have been much slower to relinquish state controls, but for the impact of the European Community and later the European Union. Despite the regulations for a Single European Market that were in practice often circumvented, the privatisation fever of the 1980s and 1990s probably brought less change in continental Europe than its supporters promised and expected. In fact, the result was not more competition but a transfer of concentrated economic power from the public to the private sphere. In France for instance many large private firms acted like the old public companies and monopolised whole sectors thanks to complicated cross-shareholding arrangements. Ironically, privatisation and increased competition had little impact on the size of the state sector, even in Britain the scope of the state actually expanded, but most of the government employees were now in the service sector. Economic liberalisation did not end the welfare state in Europe, but there was a decisive shift in the allocation of resources and initiative from the public to the private sectors, and a Europe-wide disdain of state interference.\nThe urge to escape centralised rule and to relinquish responsibility for impoverished fellow citizens in distant provinces was widespread from the 1990s on, but Western Europe managed to retain the form of a conventional nation state, despite significant centrifugal forces. These politics of sub-national particularism in the larger states of Western Europe appear as the reversion of the centralisation efforts a century ago that merged historically very diverse regions into single large nations. This move against centralisation among European citizens might explain their fear of being dominated by an additional, even farther removed, central power, namely Brussels. EU citizens now not only tend to question the economic function of the state, but also the social and cultural function and the state as a provider of public services. This is for once the result of indoctrination by politicians and the media that have been influenced by the above-mentioned neo-liberalist economic policies and further the result of a deterioration of public services that have been starved of funds. In Scandinavia we can observe an opposite trend, where citizens trust in the provision of public services by their national state and are prepared to pay higher taxes for excellent public services. There private service providers in the field of health, education, pensions and public transport are practically unknown.\nAs we have seen the Union started out as a customs union and over the years its ambitions expanded into the fields of culture, law, government and politics. It had taken on some of the external characteristics of a conventional government. At the turn of the century the EU was still more or less run along the lines that had been set down at its foundation. Uncontentious decisions were made by experts and civil servants. Policies likely to affect national electoral constituencies were negotiated in the Council of Ministers and produced complicated and costly compromises. What could not be agreed upon was left unsolved. This was a unique set of arrangements that bore no resemblance to the separate federal states of the US or the Swiss Confederation. The member states of the EU remained completely independent and separate units in a voluntary association to which they had over time conceded a set of powers and initiatives without a clear underlying principle. It became increasingly clear that this inherently complicated and incremental nature of the EU would be impossible to maintain with an increasing number of member states. It was basically a decision-making system designed for six member states, not for 27 or more. The rejected constitution and the now much discussed and modified Lisbon contract would have served over time to reduce the top-heavy system of national representation in the Commission and devised a new system of voting in the European Council that might have produced clear-cut majorities on several critical issues apart from taxation and defence.\nTo the surprise of many, the EU had overcome the difficulty of governing a community of 27 members by 2008, but it had not managed to address the chronic absence of interest on the part of the European public and in some parts of Europe even a disdain of the EU. The technocrats who built the institutions of the \"new\" Europe should have shown a certain degree of unconcern for the opinion of the public and this lack is now being repaid. With each direct election to the European Parliament the voter turnout fell. The only exceptions were those instances when national and European elections coincided. At the European elections of 2004 the voter turnout was down 42 percentage points from the most recent national election in Austria, 43 in Sweden, 39 in Finland, 23 in Spain and 20 in Great Britain. Even in the new member states the voter turn out fell short of the last national elections; in Hungary 32 percentage points, in Poland 26 and in Slovakia 17 percentage points. Europeans seemed to be so profoundly indifferent to the affairs of the EU because they felt they had no influence over them. There was the widespread sentiment that of all the institutions the Members of the European Parliament were the least significant. National elections were crucial because the real power lay with the Commission, appointed by national governments, and the Council of Ministers, comprising national representatives. On the other hand it became clear that Brussels now wielded real power and influenced the lives of European citizens. Every national government had at one time or another over the last 20 years found it convenient to blame \"Brussels\" for unpopular laws, taxes and economic policies to which it had consented in Brussels and which it tacitly favoured but for which it was reluctant to take responsibility. The EU's so-called democratic deficit could in this way be easily turned from unconcern to hostility. This sentiment was fuelled by irresponsible mainstream politicians and fanned by nationalist demagogues. That's why a sizable amount of the votes in the EU elections of 2004 went to overtly anti-EU candidates.\nAnd yet, all in all, the EU has had a decisively positive impact on all members, the economic benefits have been real. The newfound freedom to travel, work and study anywhere in Europe was a chance for young people especially. In relative terms, the so-called \"social\" element in the EU budget was tiny, less than 1 per cent of the European-area GNP. But from the late 1980s on, the budgets took on a distinctly redistributive quality, transferring resources from rich regions to poorer ones and contributing to a steady reduction in the aggregate gap between rich and poor. The advantage of the European idea in the decades after the foundation lay precisely in its imprecision. Of course now it is exactly this formulaic vagueness combined with much too precise details of EU legislative directives which has highlighted the democratic deficit. It seems difficult for Europeans to care about a Union whose identity was for so long unclear and which at the same time seems to influence every aspect of their daily lives. By not being a state the EU has been able to bind nearly 500 million people in a single, peaceful and loosely articulated community, where the citizens' primary loyalties remain to the country in which they live, whose laws they obey, whose language they speak and whose taxes they pay.\nAt the beginning of the 21st century the European states are faced with a wave of economic and social challenges largely beyond their control. Basically there is nothing mysterious about globalisation, it is also not even unprecedented. The impact on the world economy of new and rapid networks of transport and communication at the end of the 19th century was as dramatic as the transformation triggered by the Internet and the deregulation and liberalisation of financial markets a hundred years later. The unequal distribution of the benefits of liberalised trade were not new either, if one looks at how international trade regimes accommodated to the interests of the powerful and wealthy around 1900. From the European perspective there is one distinctive difference. At the end of the 19th century the functions of the state were just expanding and the state was beginning to assume responsibility for social and welfare needs and government expenditure increased considerably, partly due to war expenses. The latest economic internationalisation started after the first wave of European privatisations and triggered many more. The European state was now in retreat, as mentioned above, and production and money moved around the globe beyond the control of European countries, a process boosted by the Single European Act of 1987 with its provisions for open competition within and across borders. The social costs of economic disruption were especially glaring because at the same time privatisation and deregulation created great wealth for relatively few. This sense of recently unknown stark contrasts between rich and poor in Europe triggered a growing scepticism about the benefits of unregulated markets and globalisation. In Europe in the past this would have resulted in some form of protectionism, but now the governments' hands are tied and organised labour is already more or less powerless. What has been emerging in many parts of Europe now is a new four-class system. At the top one can find the new professional stratum, second a core of traditional and protected employees, third small businesses and services, and the fourth stratum and the fastest growing one, people who are employed or not employed in jobs that lack long-term security and benefits. In the past economic upswings in Europe tended to lift many of the poor into better paid and more secure employment, this does not happen now. Europe is developing an underclass in the midst of wealth, a new caste of casual and temporary workers.\n11. The European Model of Society\nEuropeans might have lost faith in their politicians and in the state, but what seems to bind Europeans together is not the EU, not democracy, not freedom and the rule of law - all that is taken for granted - it is the contrast between \"the American way of life\" and \"the European model of society\", however critical they may be of the practical workings of it. Despite the burgeoning multiplicity of Europe and the multiplicity of fault lines that blur what once seemed clear cut, national or social divisions, a distinctly European identity might be emerging in contrast to the USA.\nIn high culture the state has retained its role as provider of subsidies. In Britain the national lottery has taken over from the state some of the burden of cultural support and in other places there are discussions about an indefinite distribution of grants. In German speaking countries over 80 percent of the cost of running a theatre or opera house are typically provided by public subsidies. Culture at this level is closely bound up with status and with regional identity. In France, too, the arts flourish even in small provincial towns thanks to direct aid distributed from central funds. The national state has remained the most important source of funding for the arts all across Europe. Indeed culture is one of the last important areas of public life in which the national state, rather than the EU or private enterprise, can play a distinctive role as a near monopoly provider, also in Eastern Europe. The audience for European high arts is nowadays much more international. Productions in major cities are attended by increasingly international audiences who communicate across borders and languages. These newly cosmopolitan audiences might not be as sophisticated as they are well off, but the trend is anyway towards popularising classical material for wider audiences. European high culture is now exploiting the European classical cultural heritage for the \"under-cultivated nouveau riches\". This is a new and interesting cultural shift on a continental scale; the composition of audiences from Lisbon to Prague is now quite uniform, as are the productions on offer.\nWhether the EU made its cultural audiences even more cosmopolitan or simply blended their individual parochialisms is not known, but it can be said that there are now genuinely European quality papers around, such as the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, The Financial Times, Le Monde, and weekly papers like Die Zeit and The Economist. These are now truly European papers, available everywhere in Europe and also read across the continent. The mass-circulation tabloid press, however, remains firmly national. Television, the main source of information nowadays for most Europeans, has unfortunately followed the tabloids and reduced the foreign news coverage considerably. Despite the spread of private and satellite channels the European traditional state-owned television channels have retained a surprisingly large audience. This results in a curious paradox. While the entertainment offered varies little from one country to the other, television remained a distinctly national medium. The intellectual and political concerns, the contrasting attitudes to power and authority are as distinctive and different in the various European countries as they were after the Second World War. When most other collective activities and communal organisations are in decline, television is what the mass of the population of every country has in common. Television serves efficiently to reinforce national distinctions and a high level of mutual ignorance of the average European citizen. Television news show remarkably little interest for events in neighbouring countries except catastrophes, rather less than years ago when an audience, fascinated by technology was confronted with foreign documentaries and \"outside broadcasts\". Now Europe is taken for granted and the attention is turned to more far-away exotic destinations, although Europe is in practice largely unknown. For the most part, Europeans have very little idea what is going on in neighbouring countries. There is just one exception: major sports events. What really seems to unite Europe is the interest in football.\nFor many free marketers the core problem of Europe is its economic rigidity: there are still too many laws protecting the workers and their jobs and guaranteeing lavish unemployment and pension schemes. But despite some hardships for employers it does not mean that European workers are less productive than their American counterparts. In 2003, when measured in terms of productivity per hour worked, the economies of Denmark, Austria and Italy were all comparable to the US, and Ireland, Belgium, the Netherlands and France out-produced the US. If America was nevertheless more productive overall, it was because a higher percentage of Americans were in paid employment, they worked longer hours and had shorter holidays. Europeans have made the deliberate choice to work less, earn less and live better lives. In return for higher taxes they receive better and affordable public services, they are on average better educated, live safer and longer lives and have fewer people in poverty. The majority of Europeans believe that poverty is caused by social circumstances and not individual inadequacy and so they are willing to pay higher taxes if these are directed to alleviate poverty. In Europe there is a broad cross-class consensus about the duty of the state to shield its citizens from the hazards of misfortunes and the free market. Social responsibility and economic advantage should not be mutually exclusive; economic growth is good, but not at all costs. The European social model comes in several styles, but what they all have in common is the balance of social rights, civic solidarity and collective responsibility that was appropriate of the modern state. The aggregate outcomes look very different in Sweden and in Italy, but the social consensus they incorporate are regarded as binding for many citizens.\nSince the 1980s there have been various attempts to resolve the choice between European social solidarity and American-style economic flexibility. A younger generation of economists and entrepreneurs, mostly educated in the US, have impressed upon politicians the need to adapt to the American economic model and streamline production and enhance competition. The \"Third Way\", modelled on US President Bill Clinton and articulated by British Prime Minister Tony Blair, was marketed as a pragmatic solution to economic and social dilemmas and a significant conceptual breakthrough. Until 1995 the European Commission under Jacques Delors had been preoccupied with devising and imposing norms and rules, so also the EU seemed in need of a \"Third Way\". The evidence that Britain, just as the US, has been seeing a dramatic rise in the numbers of the poor, in contrast to the rest of the EU, where poverty has been increasing modestly, if at all, discredited the British model of the \"Third Way\" in the rest of Europe. Despite cutting government spending and opting out of the European Social Charter and reducing company taxation, the UK consistently underperformed the rest of \"unreformed\" Europe measured in terms of output per hour.\nSo what will be the future for the European welfare states? There is no going back to the old free standing autonomous nation state model. In their economic lives every EU citizen is now truly European. The EU is the largest single internal market, the world's biggest trader in services and the member states' unique source of authority in matters of economic and legal regulation. Thanks to its own currency it also rules the money markets. So the only vital economic activity left to national rather than European initiative is taxation rates and only because the UK insists on this. Yet people do not live in markets, but in communities and despite the fact that the death of the nation state was proclaimed by many experts years ago, especially since September 11th 2001 these nation states appear to matter a lot again. The early modern states had two functions: raising taxes and making war; the EU is not a state because it does neither. The traditional European state not only made war, but enforced peace at home, too. In a time of fear of terrorist attacks, the state's monopoly of armed power is an attractive reassurance to many citizens. It is the nation state's responsibility to keep its citizens safe, not the responsibility of the EU. Further more, as long as the state, rather than the EU, pays pensions, insures the unemployed and educates children, the state's political legitimacy will remain unchallenged. Over the course of the 20th century the European state took on considerable responsibilities for its citizens, it has shed some of those, but the rest remains intact. Citizenship, democracy, rights and duties are bound up with the European state. Distinctive nations and states have not vanished in Europe. The illusion that we live in a post-national or post-state world is based wrongly on the assumption that globalisation and trans-national developments must be at work in every sphere of life. Seen from the production side Europe is in fact a trans-national entity, but viewed as a site of power, political legitimacy or cultural affinities, Europe has remained what it has long been, an accumulation of individual states. Nationalism has come and gone but nations and states have remained.\n11.1 Small versus Big States12\nTwo economists, Alesina and Spolaore, explored the question whether the size of a state might influence its prosperity and they found that of the ten richest countries in the world in terms of GDP only two had more than 5 million people, namely the USA and Switzerland. According to their theory the best size for states is the result of a trade off between the benefits of scale and the costs of heterogeneity, but openness to trade alters this trade-off. This would mean for Europe that the larger countries can afford proportionally smaller governments; and consequently also embassies, armies, road and rail networks are likely to cost less per head in populous countries. They can raise taxes in more cost-effective ways and have bigger internal markets, allowing more specialisation and economies of scale and they can redistribute income geographically. But size has its costs, too. Large countries tend to have a much more diverse population with varying preferences and demands. Research has shown that people prefer to live in more homogenous countries with respect to income, race and ethnicity. Where the preferences of a country's people count, their country is likely to be smaller than it would otherwise be. Authoritarian regimes typically suppress regional or ethnic dissent and stress the benefit of size, whereas democracies are usually more conscious of the costs. That's why we have seen lots of secessions in Europe in the last decades, but only one merger of nation states and that is Germany, a special historical case. The main reason for the rise in the number of small countries might have been the shift from empire and dictatorship to self-determination. But as it is only safe to be small in a peaceful world, also the importance of economic size for prosperity depends on how open a country's economy is. Small countries that would not be viable in a world of trade restrictions can prosper when trade is liberal and markets are open. That is why we can expect that in future economic integration might go hand in hand with political disintegration in a mutually reinforcing process. The answer to the question why the United States are an exception might be that they have never been ruled centrally, but the federal states decide about many aspects of their citizens' lives. In this sense the European Union is a model of more or less powerful supra-national organisations to preserve markets and coordinate policies, combining large economies of scale with political, cultural and social independence. That's why especially small countries in the EU prosper.\n12. Dealing with Discontent and Democratic Deficit13\nProbably the biggest failing of the EU has long been the gap between the project of integration with its set of institutions and the mass of citizens. When the French and Dutch voters voted against the constitution in 2005 and the Irish against the Lisbon Treaty in 2008, they were not merely objecting to specific provisions in the respective texts, nor were they just voting against their current national governments, they were also expressing a general feeling of resentment towards the European project and its remoteness. The traditional response by governments was to ignore this resentment by implicitly arguing that Europe had always been an elite project and it should remain so. As long as political leaders understood and pursued European integration, that should be enough. But many political leaders nowadays spend more time attacking the EU institutions for interference, even though almost all EU laws require those leaders' endorsement, than talking about the European ideals. Many media in Europe have become very critical of the EU as well and this is reflected in the people's views, too. Popular support for the EU has, in fact, slightly increased over the last years, but in most countries, especially in Austria and Britain it is very low, as can be seen in Figure 7.\nFirst, one possibility to win back support might be to concentrate more on showing the European citizens that this Union works. European citizens really do believe that on the issues of energy, environment and foreign policy a Union acting with one voice can do more than nation states acting alone. Furthermore the discussions on subsidiarity over the last years show that there is a benefit in giving back to nation states some of the powers that have accumulated in Brussels over time because many tasks can be tackled much more efficiently on a national or even regional level. It is necessary to review and scrap much of the abundance of regulations and directives that has poured out of Brussels over the last two decades.\nSecond, Euro-sceptics stress the European institutions' lack of transparency and accountability, their corruption and their remoteness to citizens. There seems indeed to be a democratic deficit, as was discussed, but it should not be maintained that it lies necessarily at the EU level. In comparison with most national governments the EU institutions are highly transparent and information is easy to find. Corruption certainly exists, but the auditors' habitual qualification of the EU's annual budget relates largely to how the money is spent at the national level. As for accountability, the Commission answers not only to national governments, through the Council, but to the Parliament, whose representatives have been elected directly by the European voters, as well. In truth, the deficit is to be found more at a national than at a European level. The EU is a unique organisation that can neither be compared to a state, nor to a federal union, nor to an intergovernmental organisation. But it is closer to the last, as nation states remain the main decision makers. From this point of view the democratic deficit constitutes the lack of information for European citizens, where they can find out what they want to know about the EU and how they can influence what is going on in the EU through national institutions. This should be an easy task for national governments to tackle. Denmark for instance set up a powerful European committee in the national parliament in 1973 to call ministers to account. The committee summons ministers once a week to discuss the following week's Council meetings in Brussels and to agree to a negotiating mandate. The EU committee also maintains an extensive information and library service and a website that all Danish citizens can use. As a result the Euro-sceptic Danes have become more convinced that the EU is a beneficial for them.\nFigure 7: The development EU citizens' consent to the EU (Source: The Economist. Special report on the European Union, March 17th2007)\nAccording to Euro-sceptics the European Parliament is an expensive talking shop with a wasteful monthly commute between Brussels and Strasbourg which adds some \u20ac 250 million to its costs. But it is much more efficient than its reputation, the average quality of its members has risen, and it has learned how to work the EU system. It plays a crucial role in forging necessary compromises and its influence over the Commission has increased. Where it has failed so far is connecting European citizens to the European project. Few European voters have the slightest idea who their MEP is and fewer still know what he/she does. Voters see little connection between how they cast their vote and what happens in the EU. Campaigns for European Parliament elections are mostly fought on national issues reflecting the fact that the media are national, not European. One suggestion to remedy this deficit might be to give the Parliament more powers, e.g. in selecting the commission, so that the voters might take more interest.\nThe original aim of the Union was peace and prosperity, so some think that Europeans need a new vision to enthuse them about the EU. This could be concern for the environment or a more active foreign policy. But what is most needed is more inspired leadership by European heads of government and a full acknowledgement to their voters of the practical importance of the EU for them. But in the end voters still want prosperity. Also in the future the EU will be a diverse and not a uniform group of countries and the question is whether all members have to integrate at the same speed and whether some should not be able to opt out of certain projects of closer integration and join in others. In fact this is already happening, e.g. not all members are in the Schengen passport-free travel zone and not all are in the \u20ac-zone. It can be tiresome to live with these opt-outs, but having the possibility to opt out of certain projects might take away the citizens' fear of a \"super state\" in Brussels. Opting out of the EU as such is definitely not an appealing prospect. Norway and Switzerland, the two biggest European countries to have chosen to stay outside the Union, must apply almost all the EU laws to gain full access to the single market and even make large payments into the EU budget, but play no role in the decision-making process. A multi-speed Europe might further be a way of resolving growing tensions about further enlargements. Already in the enlargement 2004/07 new members joined the EU on the basis that they did not take part in all EU activities right from the start. When incorporating the Balkans for instance new members might also be given long transition periods before benefiting in full from the union's four freedoms. Yet a multi-speed Europe harbours potential dangers. For once, the EU can only work if all member states sign up to the majority of the rules, the Acquis Communautaire, especially for the single market. It will not be possible for members to opt out of the competition rules and most other single market laws. If a multi-speed Europe in the end became a multi-tier Europe that left the lower tiers somewhat outside that would be unsatisfactory, too. The goal has to be not to fragment the union but to accommodate different views on how far to integrate and how fast, but all within a broad common framework set by the single market and the EU institutions.\nIf we want to discuss the so-called democratic deficit in the EU, we have to look at the present state of democracy in Europe as such. Democracy thrives when there are major opportunities for the mass of ordinary people to actively participate through discussion and autonomous organisations in shaping public life and when they are actively taking up these opportunities. Societies probably come closest to this democratic ideal in the early years of achieving democracy or after a great regime crisis, when enthusiasm for democracy is wide-spread. Most of Western Europe had its democratic moment after World War II. For the first time in the history of capitalism, the general health of the economy was seen as depending on the prosperity of the mass of wage-earners. A certain social compromise was reached between capitalist business interests and the working population. Business interests learned to accept certain limitations on their capacity to use their power. The democratic political capacity concentrated at the level of the nation state, which could guarantee those limitations because firms were largely subordinate to the authority of nation states then.\nBy the late 1980s the global deregulation of the financial markets had shifted the emphasis of economic dynamism away from mass consumption and on to financial markets. First in the US and the UK the maximisation of shareholder value became the indicator of economic success. Everywhere the share in income taken by the working population as opposed to capital, which had risen steadily for decades, began to decline again. In the early 1990s the USA became a model again, just as after World War II, for everyone seeking to be associated with economic dynamism and modernity. Under US influence democracy in Europe is increasingly defined as \"liberal\" democracy. This form stresses electoral participation as the main type of mass participation, extensive freedom for lobbying activities, which are primarily business lobbies, and a form of policy making that avoids an interference with the free market economy. Today this unambitious form of democracy is being accepted in Europe as well. The public electoral debate is a more or less controlled spectacle, managed by professional teams of marketing experts, covering a small range of issues, selected by these professionals. The mass of the citizens play a rather passive role and respond to those signals by casting their ballot. Behind this spectacle of election campaigns, many aspects of the political agenda are shaped by the interaction between elected government representatives and elites that overwhelmingly represent corporate interests.\nNowadays politicians receive less deference and uncritical respect from the public and the mass media than ever before. Governments and their secrets are increasingly laid bare to the public and there are more calls for open government and constitutional reforms to make governments more responsible. In the past politicians were trusted and respected by deferential and rather na\u00efve citizens in a way they probably did not deserve. That's why today politicians are more afraid to shape the political agenda and prefer to rely on market research techniques and opinion polls. The moves towards open government and transparency are currently being countered by measures for tightened state security and secrecy due to the terror threat since September 11th2001. Yet there might be evidence of a lively democratic culture in the growing importance of pressure groups, cause groups and grass root campaigns, away from party politics and election campaigns. There has been a growth of highly diverse self-help groups, communitarian networks, neighbourhood schemes and charitable activities. They mostly try to fill the gaps left behind by the retreating welfare state and this type of cause groups seems to turn away from politics deliberately. Yet you also find such groups in undemocratic societies where the state is indifferent to social problems.\nThe second type of cause organisations is much more important in today's Western democracies and those are politically oriented campaigns and lobbies who do not seek to influence elections, but try to shape government policy directly. They are a strong evidence of liberal democracy in the American sense. These business lobbies are so successful, first because business interests are able to threaten the government that if their interests are not taken into account their sector will not be successful and the government's record on economic growth will suffer. Second, they can raise enormous funds for their lobbying because the outcome of this lobbying will mean increased profits. Those, who for example set up an a-political cause group of the first type for healthy food, will be faced with the lobbies of the food and chemicals industries, who will bring battleships against their rowing boats. That's why in true democracies there has to be a level playing field for all citizens in participating in the democratic process and the state has to make these rules, such as regulated party funding and media access. In fact, the more the state withdraws from providing for the lives of its citizens, the more apathetic about politics they will become and the more easily can corporate interests use the state for their interests. Globalised business interests and the social fragmentation of the population are shifting the political advantage away from those seeking to reduce inequalities of wealth and power. An important element of the European democratic movement after World War II was the popular demand that the power of government should be used to challenge concentrations of private power and the present distrust and low level of expectations in politicians and the state suit those interests who try to rein back the active state and liberate and deregulate private economic power. This current lack of interest in politics is further intensified by a low quality level of popular journalism that is modelled on the advertising copy. Political debate is characterised by a degradation of mass political communication and an excessive personalisation of electoral politics.\nSince the end of Keynesian economic policies and the rise of neo-liberalism, lobbies and pressure groups working for the interests of the globalised corporate sector have been more likely to be listened to. Global corporations have access to governments and influence their policies far more effectively than normal citizens, even if they do not have formal citizen rights in these countries or pay taxes there. Yet in Europe pro-labour and pro-welfare interests are still strong and have retained more power in the nation states than in the US or the UK, but this could erode gradually. Globalisation clearly contributes to the constraints imposed on Western democracy because this system has difficulty in rising above national levels. So a kind of democratic deficit is observable on European national levels and the dissatisfaction and distrust of European voters is not restricted to a national level but is carried further to the European level and might explain in some way the disinterest in EU politics and the low turn-out at the European polls.\n13. What do Europeans think about the EU?14\nIt might be interesting to see whether this much publicised dissatisfaction of European citizens with the EU is reflected in recent surveys. The Eurobarometer 2008 offers some insights into the current attitude of Europeans to the EU.\nThe Eurobarometer shows that the Europeans in general have significantly more trust in the European Union (50%) than in their national parliaments (34%) or national governments (33%), which is an astonishingly positive signal for the EU. Furthermore trust in the EU has increased since autumn 2007 (+2 points) while the belief in national parliaments (-1 point) and national governments (-2 points) has fallen. Austria is at the very bottom of the table referring to trust in the EU with 38 % (-8 points), but the Austrians' rather high trust in national institutions has also suffered with trust in the national parliament 46% (-8 points) and in the national government 42% (-11 points). All in all, one can say that the EU is significantly more trusted in most member countries with the exception of Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Austria, where one or both national institutions enjoy more trust than the EU.\nIf one has a look at what important issues Europeans think should be jointly tackled by the EU and national governments, we can find that highest priority is given to fighting terror with 79%, followed by environmental protection 71%, scientific and technological research 70%, defence and foreign affairs 64%, support for regions in economic difficulties 62%, energy 61%, immigration and fighting crime both 58%. Europeans feel that international and strategic matters, environment, defence and migration could be better handled within the EU. Social matters such as health (33%), education (31%) social welfare (30%) and pensions (24%) come last in the ranking of what Europeans think should be jointly handled, which means that they believe these issues should be best tackled by their national governments without interference from the EU.\n48% of Europeans state that the EU has a positive image; just under half of the Europeans, which is a slight decrease by 1 % from the 2007, but only 28% of Austrians say that the EU conjures up a positive image for them. This figure shows that Austrians see the EU in the most negative light of all 27 members. Unlike the broader concept of the EU's image, positive views on membership in the EU are on the decline overall. Still a majority (52%) believe that EU membership is good for their country compared to 58% in 2007. The majority view in most countries remains positive towards EU membership, especially in the Netherlands (75%), Ireland and Luxemburg (73%), Belgium (66%), Denmark, Spain and Poland (65%). Austria with 36% ranks again at the bottom, just above Hungary, the UK and Latvia. Yet in 18 member states a drop by 3 or more percentage points has been recorded since 2007. The majority of Europeans (54%) think that in general their country has profited from membership in the EU, a drop by 4 points since 2007. The exceptions to the general trend of Europeans who view their country's EU membership as beneficial are again Hungary, the UK and Austria where the majority of the population are of the opinion that their country has not benefited from membership. In all three countries only 36% of the citizens believe that their country has benefited from EU membership.\n44% of Europeans on average believe that the EU helps member countries to protect citizens from the negative effects of globalisation, yet only 30% of Austrians are of this opinion. What is astonishing and might be a positive sign for the idea of Europe is that the majority of Europeans (61%) say they can differentiate a distinct set of collective European values when compared to other continents. It is easier to see what Europeans have in common in terms of values, they believe. 54% say that member states are close to each other in terms of values, whereas only 34% define this relation as rather distant. Unfortunately also here Austria ranks last with 39% who believe that member states are close in terms of values.\nFinally, one can draw the conclusion that Austrians are in all aspects covered by the Eurobarometer 2008 survey immensely critical of the EU, which definitely does not reflect the economic reality at a time when Austria has done extremely well economically since accession to the EU in 1995, but an underlying uneasiness and discontent. It also does not illustrate an overall European trend, but an Austrian speciality.\n14. The Attitude of Austrian Professionals to the EU. An Analysis of Qualitative Interviews15\nFinally, this research paper tried to find out whether the frustration of Austrians with the EU which was laid bare by the statistical analyses of the Eurobarometer 2008 is also discernable in personal qualitative interviews with Austrian professionals working in various fields. In the course of three months (May to June 2008) nine topic-related interviews were conducted with professionals working in economic areas such as banking, in law and social fields such as medicine, psychology and university education and finally in music and the fine arts. The interviewees were asked five questions during these narrative interviews. First on what the EU meant for them personally, second the importance of the EU for their field of work. In the third question they were invited to voice their positive and/or negative criticism on the latest developments in this respect. Fourth, the interview partners were questioned about their expectations for the future of the EU in their profession, but also as EU citizens, and finally they were asked about their opinion concerning the reasons for the widespread frustration with the EU in Austria thirteen years after joining the EU.\nThe personal impression of the EU is overwhelmingly positive despite certain drawbacks. Austria is again part of a much bigger entity as during the times of the Habsburg Empire and with it unfortunately again the rise of extreme nationalism is discernable, but also the hope that in this community there will be a positive counterbalance to parochialism. Austrians are not prepared yet to fight for an ideal of Europe; they seem to lack understanding of the values of the EU and are locked in their small world. The feeling prevails that Austria is part of a big multinational group within the EU which has several advantages but also disadvantages, such as restrictions and regulations. The personal pros that were mentioned are mostly passport-free travel and the euro, free movement of labour and the chances to work and study abroad, especially for those who have experienced how difficult it was before membership in the EU. But corporations are the ones that really benefit from the EU. The EU is seen as a system that envelops Europe and tries to promote the integration of different cultures and peoples, but is mostly steered by economic interests and focuses on corporate goals. The EU acts systemically and tries via processes to engage all members. The EU is further seen as a chance for greater personal and national development in a wider community, embedded in a geographical entity with a high standard of living and an exceptional level of security and freedom. Peace is valued highly. Those who are interested in European history stress the uniqueness of the Union as the first successful historical peace project in Europe that has ended centuries of European wars, a historical move that compensates any drawbacks related to the single market. European cultures and societies approach each other and get to know more about each other and by that armed struggles between member states are fortunately unimaginable today. A small country like Austria could not stand alone in today's world. Norway and Switzerland boast a special status due to oil resources on the part of Norway and a special position as a financial haven in the case of Switzerland, but both countries are nevertheless strongly linked to the EU in many ways. The EU is also seen as a counterpart to the USA as a political and economic association, as an economic power in a globalised world. It is easier to face the challenges of globalisation as part of a big economic block; a single small nation state would be lost. Basically the EU is still valued as a great chance for Austria, especially the \"four freedoms\" of free movement of goods, persons, services and capital, but one interviewee stressed the feeling that only powerful lobbies drive the EU nowadays and the ordinary citizens have no say in the community. In his opinion the EU is developing in the wrong direction, imitating the United States. Small countries are outmanoeuvred and he deplores the lack of democracy. The EU has been turned into a representation of multinational groups' interests. His solution would be a return to the roots of the community as an economic union leaving all other aspects, political and social, to the member states.\nThe impact of the EU on different professional fields in Austria is manifold. Let us start with culture. For musicians the EU can offer a way out of the traditional Austrian musical establishment, to open up the introvert traditional cultural attitude by encountering other cultures and nations and by that becoming more open and tolerant. Musicians have always travelled a lot and have learned from other musical traditions, nevertheless there is still a strong nationalist tendency in the classical music business. People lament that the sound of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra is no longer the same as before because so many foreigners play there. In fact already around 1900 many of the musicians were from the geographical areas where they come from today, only then it was the Habsburg Empire. The strings sound of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra is different today but not necessarily worse for that. But there is a slow awakening and an opening up discernable, not everything that comes from abroad is seen as a threat any longer. A strong signal is the appointment of the first female first violinist from Bulgaria in the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. In the music and arts scene Austria was secluded for decades and there is a strange ambivalence between a rejection of everything foreign and on the other hand a lavish and unconditional praise of star musicians from abroad. A compromise between the two extremes of total rejection and limitless euphoria would be called for and Austria should learn a respectful way of integrating other musical traditions. The EU as such has no consequences for classical musicians except easier movement because musicians have always worked internationally. But the EU promotes and supports various small and young musical groups especially in deprived areas and funds are raised for young cultural projects that link member countries in border regions to boost cultural relationships between neighbouring countries. The musicians themselves have to open up and grab the chances that are being offered. For decades the repertoire of concert halls in Austria has been the same, now a few conductors, such as Ricardo Muti, are digging up treasures and putting them on stage. Musicians need to look across borders and see what music they find there that is worth playing and by that extending the traditional repertoire. This is a slow process but it is under way. At the times of Mozart the musical scene was much more interlinked in Europe than it is today. Haydn had an Italian first violinist in his orchestra in Eisenstadt and that was nothing extraordinary. There was a vivid mutual exchange between Vienna, Hamburg, Paris, Saint Petersburg and the other cultural capitals in Europe. Although also this exchange was not free of conflict, a new form of this cultural network of the 17thand 18thcentury would boost innovation in classical music because the artists would get to know various cultural and musical trends across Europe. The retreat into national music schools is a heritage of the 19thcentury nationalism and the claims to national cultural superiority that wanted to exclude any influence from abroad and conserve the national tradition. Probably the increase of power and wealth of the bourgeoisie that started to compete with the nobility for sponsorship of the arts was responsible for this more restricted view of the world. The music of Dvorsak and Smetana for instance was traded as a musical expression of the Czech rebellion against the Habsburg Empire and the recourse to medieval mythology in music was used to glorify German nationalist theories. In Europe ethical values should gain more importance again, not just economic and material ones. Even artists and classical musicians in particular have concentrated too much on economic success in the wake of the neo-liberalist transformation of Europe and have neglected the humanitarian mission of art in the quest for commercialisation of the arts.\nThe new big community of 27 countries is not only a big chance for artists it is also a big challenge because the competition has become fierce. On the one hand it is much easier today to exhibit works in other European countries, but on the other hand there is also no secure home market. A local artist has to concentrate on one unique topic or technique to beat the competition at home and abroad. With the EU membership cultural exchange has been boosted and many more foreign painters and other fine artists flock to Austria. Especially Vienna has the potential to become again a centre of fine arts. Many foreign students study art in Vienna because the training is excellent and there is more scope for development for students than elsewhere; they are given a lot of freedom to discover their style and individual talent is encouraged. The rush of students to Vienna can be explained by the image of the city, the reputation of the teachers and the importance for the curriculum vitae of a young artist to have studied in Vienna. It is more about reputation now than about quality because Vienna was already a centre of the fine arts around 1900. More foreigners than Austrians study at the Vienna Academy, especially Germans and Italians, and it is getting more difficult for local students to win a place here. The foreign students are seen as an asset because they carry the reputation of the Vienna Academy into the whole world. On top of that the EU membership has increased cultural subsidies for the fine arts, but these are linked to stringent rules and regulations. Due to cut-throat competition you usually have to gain an international reputation in a certain specialised field of art first to be eligible for funding. \"Ordinary\" painting is not subsidised, the artist has to excel in fields such as light or video installation to be in the position to apply for funds. Today there is much more international exchange in Austria, too, but Austrian arts students rather stay at home and fail to profit from the various possibilities abroad. Austrians complain that so many foreign artists come here to study, to work and to exhibit, yet they themselves do not take up the chances that are being offered by European cultural exchange programmes, for instance to stage an exhibition abroad. Nowadays there are no co-operations of artists any more, no artists' associations such as the \"Wiener Werkst\u00e4tte\" or \"Blaue Reiter\"; professional artists face the competition alone and encounter excessive egoism and jealousy. Those professional artists who have to make a living from art lead a tough life because only very few make a fortune and those are not necessarily the best, but they can market their art best. They are boosted by a well-paid manager and only after some time the art scene realises the lack of quality and innovation in their work. Most of the Austrian artists scrape along, they live on teaching contracts or social projects such as \"Soho in Ottakring\" or painting classes for migrant children. They have to accept any work that they are offered to make a living. Several EU initiatives promote the work of artists with disabled children and adults, such as workshops for children suffering from Down syndrome, but also the art of disabled artists themselves is promoted. Here Vienna started a project already years ago with the artists from \"Gugging\" and now the EU sponsors similar initiatives.\nThe second broad professional field of work on which the impact of the EU was investigated are social fields of work from medicine and education to social work. In the medical profession the EU has brought even more regulations adding to the abundance of rules and regulations that already existed before. It seems that everything has to be put into the form of rules, even the most obvious and matter-of-course. Yet coercion does not necessarily combat neglect successfully in a social field of work. A very positive aspect of membership in the EU has been a considerable rise in professional exchange with the result that Austria is no longer lagging far behind internationally. Nevertheless due to the common language the professional links to Germany are still the closest. In the medical field most organisational standards are imported from the US and the UK nowadays, they are taken up by the EU and applied to all member states. This leads to overregulation, red tape and less efficiency. Complying with all the rules and regulations takes up a lot of time, which then is lost on the patients. Furthermore, crippling restrictions for every step in the process of communication with and treatment of the patient stifle creativity and innovation in treatment. A minimal deviation from the rule book might end the medical personnel up in court. As a consequence, doctors do not dare to apply alternative forms of medicine or new therapies that have not yet been tested for decades, because he /she might be sued. The well-established Austrian system of medical doctors who are also experts in alternative forms of medicine and combine the different approaches in treatment is demolished by this over-bureaucratic system imposed from outside. Austria will in the long run end up with a health care system where alternative medicine is offered by people without a traditional medical training only and the patient has to have the knowledge and money and make the decision who to consult. The doctor's time is taken up with bureaucratic work and there is little time left for communication and consultation, the patient receives the standard treatment because there is no room for an individualised approach. Austrian doctors are extremely frustrated by these recent developments and pass this disillusionment on to their patients. The patients are annoyed about the reduction in the scope of therapies and medication, which the public healthcare system pays for, and make the EU responsible for the deterioration in health care.\nIn the field of university education the membership in the EU meant for Austria a positive transformation from a local and rather secluded to a more open and Europe-oriented system. This opening up would have been possible without membership in the EU, but Austria needed this impetus. Austria has profited a lot from EU exchange programmes such as Erasmus and Socrates and nowadays there are more funds available for business trips and lectures abroad. Also priorities have shifted to new topic areas, especially in social work. Migration and the wealth gap have changed the orientation of social work in Austria away from the approach of the 1970s and 1980s, when it was focused an therapeutic and psychological counselling and when securing a subsistence level was not an issue because of a lack of need. With the EU membership the focus has shifted towards socio-economic topics in social work due to the EU's promotion of neo-liberalist economic policies. All social services are now subject to Europe-wide tenders and fierce competition has also reached the social service sector. But unfortunately Europe-wide quality standards for social services are lacking, so those who offer services at the lowest prices win the tenders. Here the EU and national countries have to react and introduce and guarantee high quality standards for social services. One negative example is the East German company that won the tender for caring for refugees in the refugee centre Traiskirchen, where the standards are not satisfactory at all now. On the other hand Austria has exported its probation service and out-of-court settlement system to Germany. The question is whether the specific regional conditions and the local know-how are really exportable in the area of social services. It is further questionable whether the outsourcing of drug treatment, e.g. the transfer to and treatment of Austrian drug addicts across the border in Hungary, is morally justifiable, just because treatment is cheaper in a neighbouring country. Of course privatisation and outsourcing will increase in the social service sector as well, but reducing decision making to cost-cutting is very problematic in this field. There will be more social service institutions that are active Europe-wide in future, just as the \"European Centre of Clinical Social Work\" for education, training and practice. Supranational institutions will exist side by side with European social service corporations and there will be more labour mobility. More social service workers will move to the \"old \" EU countries because it will still take years until the living conditions between the old and the new member countries will have reached the same level. Austria just has to make its financial contribution to help the poorer member countries in the union to raise their living standards. With the aging of the European population the fields of work will shift to gerontological aspects of social services and to linking care for the elderly with work with migrants. There is a wide scope for European cooperation in the fields of care for the aging, drug therapy, and many social fields of work can be handled on a European level, such as care for beggar children and child thieves from Romania and Bulgaria. The child care organisation \"Kinderdrehscheibe\" is active in several European countries and is successful by cooperating closely with the countries of origin of those children. In today's world social phenomena crop up more suddenly than before and change more quickly. New social phenomena tend to be similar in many European countries, there are fewer local characteristics.\nThe aims, approaches and the content of the EU cultural and educational policy are largely rated as satisfactory and EU initiatives make up a large part of the agenda in Austria's tertiary education sector. What is a real challenge is the implementation of the EU guidelines and regulations on the national level in concordance with the other member states. Many EU projects are only funded if they are carried out in cooperation with other EU member countries, but not exclusively neighbouring countries. The intention behind this idea is to boost links between all members, but the enactment is extremely difficult because the national legal systems in the field of education are very diverse and often not compatible. Many university institutions urgently require EU funds and that's why they have to take up the challenge of struggling with EU bureaucracy. The top management demands for instance \"joint degrees\" and more labour mobility in the EU to be able to recruit young academics all across the EU with a uniform university education, but as education in the EU is still a national issue, the national legal system often does not allow the realisation of EU- wide \"joint degrees\". The drawback of the EU in this respect is that corporations formulate demands and the implementation is left to the lowest tier in the national systems. National governments and the EU stress the importance of internationalisation, integration and mobility, but the support in putting these ideas into practice is lacking. In education, too, the economic aspect is increasingly replacing the socio-cultural aspect of exchange of cultural and scientific ideas. This is visible in the way universities compete to recruit the best foreign students not just for one semester but for the whole course of studies. Universities are becoming more out-put oriented and more service-oriented. The focus on life-long learning in the EU has triggered a development in adult education, too, whereby educational institutions have to offer a unique and recognisable package that offers services which are immediately applicable on the job. To make this abundance of educational offers in the EU somehow recognizable, clearer EU guidelines for course descriptions and Europe-wide quality standards have to be introduced. Integration of educational systems also means that you can be sure about the quality of standards offered in institutions in different member countries. But it is important that the EU only provides the framework for quality standards and course descriptions and leaves the implementation to the creativity and expertise of the local institutions.\nIn the field of research the Bologna and Lisbon processes have created a dynamic force in research and extended the sources of funds for research projects. Today there is more cooperation and communication with foreign colleagues at a high level of quality. Withdrawal into a national niche is no longer possible and the procedures leading to appointments are more open and transparent than in the past due to internationalisation. The field of law has always been lagging behind concerning internationalisation, but today there is nearly no special field of law that has not got a European dimension. Student and lecturer mobility have been boosted as well, although this has to be restricted to basic research because of the varieties of national legal concepts in Europe. As education is not a supranational competence of the EU, the EU has to rely on the national organisations of the members to put the internationalisation process into practice and the Austrian mentality tends to reject everything that is new and comes from outside initially, so the internationalisation processes move ahead rather slowly. The EU as such cannot resort to action on a national level in the area of education and research, so the strict hierarchical orders at university level remain untouched in Central Europe and there is a wide gap between expectation and reality in the Lisbon process. Should the integration process now be slowed down or stopped as a reaction to the Irish vote against the Lisbon contract, this would have serious consequences for the integration process in the field of university research and education and might result in a reversion to old static structures. It would be a mistake to fall back on separatist policies, but if politicians do not manage to convince the citizens of the benefits of the EU, further integration will be difficult and that would cause considerable damage to the European university systems.\nFrom the point of view of business people and especially bankers the successful expansion of Austrian companies would not have taken place in the way it did without the EU. Within the framework of the single market Austrian companies could not only survive but exploit the potential of the growing market, especially in Eastern and South-Eastern Europe. Foremost in banking, Austrian companies have developed a very positive image that is also reflected in the self-confidence of the employees who work for these companies. The pending accession to the EU has definitely made it easier for Austrian banks and other businesses to set up subsidiaries in this region. But in banking the personal relationship between expert and customer is especially important and the bigger the organisations the more anonymous they become, which has to be seen as a negative trend in the banking business. Yet the EU promotes large corporations and does not support small and medium-sized companies in the same way. Optimism was expressed in the interviews in the form that there is hope that more business people in the EU see these negative trends and try to steer EU economic policy in the right direction. There will always be negative consequences of membership in the Union but the benefits will prevail and in the long run democratic structures will be developed and strengthened, but this is a slow process because the EU set out as a customs union only.\nOne of the most important preconditions for a positive future development would be that every country sends its best people to Brussels and not its worst or those who have no standing at home. The principle of unanimous consent is outdated and costs of lot of time and money and results in a reduced quality of the outcome. On the other hand qualified majority vote weakens the position of individual countries in the EU. It is always difficult to reach consensus in an economic union where different economic frameworks and competitive structures prevail. For labour market and regional policy decisions the EU membership constitutes a drawback for some interview partners, as does the red tape from Brussels. A flood of rules and regulations are designed in Brussels and the companies are left to cope with the burden of bureaucratic overload and the rising costs. Additionally, some of the guidelines are even incompatible with local business practice. But the growing internationalisation of the capital markets calls for more international regulation. The EU membership has speeded up the concentration process in the Central European banking scene because the EU has created the legal framework for a wave of mergers and acquisitions, which would not have been possible in Austria before 1995. In banking the EU calls for more transparency to protect the clients which again causes more costs. The banks react by reducing personnel and making the customer pay, but the companies still make profits because the EU has created most favourable conditions for big corporations to the disadvantage of the ordinary consumer. Austrian governments then use the EU as an excuse for unpopular decisions at home, but in Brussels they do not speak up, on the contrary, they are subservient.\nFinally the nine interviewees were asked to comment on the widespread frustration in Austria about the EU and they came up with a variety of reasons. One interviewee stressed that Austrians can easily be manipulated, they submit willingly to authority, are obsequious and have not really learned from the experiences of 1938. That's why they are easy prey for populists who polarise against the EU and demand a withdrawal from the EU. When politicians argue against the EU, Austrians seem to believe their arguments and blame the EU for everything they find unsatisfactory, especially the widening wealth gap. The ideal and ethical values that the EU stands for are not appreciated. There is no sense of European community in Austria, rather the feeling that Austria has to finance the development in poorer member countries such as Bulgaria and Romania, while at the same time people in Austria are earning less, have to endure pension cuts, experience deteriorating working conditions and their living standard is declining as well. All these arguments are reinforced daily by the tabloids and the man in the street feels that only the industry and corporations profit from EU membership but not the ordinary citizen. The impression is widespread that those who remain outside the community, like Switzerland, can still profit from the common market but can negotiate special rights with respect to transit or the anonymity of savings accounts or a restriction on the number of foreign students. So Austrians draw the conclusion that it might be advantageous to opt out of the EU. Another factor should not be underestimated, namely the EU sanctions against the Austrian centre-right government in 2000, which was seen by many Austrians as an unfair punishment of a democratically elected government of a small country, because sanctions were not even discussed when Italy voted the Neo-fascists into the government later. The Austrians do not forget these sanctions even if they themselves did not vote for the centre-right parties. Another argument against the EU that is often mentioned is the Austrian neutrality, which is not really compatible with the EU aims. This is a highly emotional subject because the Austrian identity is closely linked to it. Furthermore, former and current price rises are attributed to the EU and the euro and confirm the impression that Austria is always losing out, in transit negotiations, in negotiations for study places, Austria is facing a flood of migrants and the Lisbon contract further restricts the right of co-determination. The man in the street does not feel the benefits of the EU expansion to the east, he/she experiences more competition on the labour market, rising crime rates and of course does not want to realise that for instance care for the elderly would break down completely in Austria without those cheap carers from Eastern Europe.\nOne interviewee quoted the globalisation expert Manuel Castells who said that \"European integration is, at the same time, a reaction to the process of globalisation and its most advanced expression\". The people are shaken by today's insecurities and fast changes and feel lost, they cannot cope with the contradiction of the EU of integration and opening up inside the community on the one hand, and seclusion from the outside, the \"fortress Europe\" on the other. Austrians tend to withdraw to small units, local customs and to the national state, because this seemingly offers them security and identity in a fast changing environment. Those who take up the chances that the EU offers and go abroad, they do not feel threatened, but the great majority who does not profit from the four freedoms of the EU tries to find their identity and a position in society by rejecting the Union and resorting to small secluded entities. Of course, this Austrian feeling of being again the loser and not the winner is subjective and a totally wrong impression, but it is a typical aspect of the Austrian defeatist mentality. Not only in Austria do European citizens resort to smaller local entities for identification and the EU should rethink its tasks and aims and take the opinions of its citizens seriously. The EU should concentrate on the overall structure and leave the execution to the national or regional administrators. What can be decided and done locally in a more efficient way should be decided and done on a local level. These local entities can also cross borders and unite regions from different nation states if it makes sense, is efficient and accepted by the populations. The people identify more easily with local institutions than with Brussels. The EU is viewed as a new form of central power, decisions are made in Brussels by people nobody knows here; and much of the frustration is a purely emotional reaction to that sentiment. This tendency is reinforced by Austrian politicians who blame the EU for every negative development and praise themselves for every positive one. They criticise the EU at home and vote in Brussels for the projects they condemn in Austria. This hypocrisy angers the Austrians and they blame the Austrian politicians together with the EU indiscriminately. By their actions politicians unfortunately endanger the biggest peace and wealth project in European history, one interview partner stressed.\nFinally the EU information policy or the lack of it is blamed for the rejection of the EU in Austria. EU institutions have completely failed in their duty to inform the European citizens efficiently and comprehensibly about EU policies. Often it seems that national and EU politicians believe that it is better to say nothing and wait and see what the reactions will be and only start to inform when they are forced to. Under these circumstances the citizens do not believe a word that is said. It would be necessary to inform the citizens in an open and truthful way about EU policies from the start and in a way people can understand.\nThe British historian Tony Judt once said in a talk \"Europe is a grown up version of the US\"16 and what he meant by this was that the European society and economy has changed a lot in the past four decades, while the American has not. The US economy is no longer more advanced than other market driven economies and the US social model does not work at all. So there is optimism for Europe. If today a country is incorporated in the EU this means that there are a lot of advantages, you can stay in your country and keep your job, you can speak your language and Europe comes to you, you do not have to leave your home to improve your living conditions. But Europe has embraced privatisation and globalisation too quickly and by that has forgotten how the EU has developed. The European welfare state was developed by very experienced conservative politicians who had realised that fascism had its roots in social inequality. That's why Europe has a legacy of a strong welfare state and many are too much in hurry to say good bye to it to please neo-liberalist economists. Already the first wave of globalisation ended in the catastrophe of World War I at a time when everyone thought that economic expansion and internationalisation would go on forever. Now Europe is again entering a new era of insecurity in economic life. For the first time since the end of World War II Europeans can expect that their children will not be as prosperous and secure as they are today. But from a historical perspective Europe is better prepared for such a future than the USA, which did not make the same experiences in the 20thcentury. All compromises are flawed and contradictory, but the EU is the best model of living together that Europe has ever had.\nSo how can this European model be saved and be made more attractive for its citizens? One solution that is clearly discernable from opinion polls and the interviews conducted for this paper is a process of decentralisation and drastic scrapping of superfluous rules and regulations that has to take place within the EU soon. The possibilities of the principle of subsidiarity have to be explored and the EU has to think about what can be delegated to national or even regional levels, because at these levels you are closer to the people and you can meet their needs and solve their problems faster and more efficiently. The EU should resort to designing the overall framework that can then be interpreted rather freely by the local institutions. Variety is the essence and the wealth of Europe - Europe is not like the USA, a federation of rather homogenous states - and the EU should draw on these strengths and resources and leave more decision making to the local tiers. The people even in small countries have to gain the impression that they count within the EU and that they have a say. For this boost of esteem of small nations the rotation of the EU presidency from one country to another can be of greatest importance because this is the time when even small countries are for six months at the core of the Union and the people are confronted with EU issues much more intensively than at other times because the local media cover all EU events in the country. People in Europe ask why they have to cope with all this burdensome centralisation that is only serving business interests, if the EU does not or cannot use its regulatory powers to protect its citizens from exorbitantly rising oil prices and a crippling inflation. European citizens demand that the EU speaks up in the world with one voice and strongly states the European case in matters of migration, energy, environment and human rights. Where is the benefit for the ordinary citizen, why is there a need for another European contract? And that's why they are suspicious of the Lisbon contract.\nThis leads to the second solution: the abysmal information policy of the EU has to be radically improved, so that the man in the street can understand what new projects, laws and contracts that affect him/her are about. It should be an easy task to regularly issue very short and simple versions of important projects in all languages of the Union to governments and the media, so that not every local politician and journalist attempts an interpretation of complex laws which results in an interpretation that is often a far cry from what the intention of the law really is. The EU has to manage to enthuse the people and convince them of the values of the European idea and its officials should not withdraw into their committees and offices and just do a good job as technocrats. If Europeans cannot be convinced of the benefits of the Union they will quickly do away with it with their traditional sense of rebellion against rulers who do not listen to their subjects. If some bemoan the lack of closeness of the Brussels bureaucracy to the European citizens, they miss the target. A few ten thousand civil servants in Brussels can never be close to all the citizens in Europe, that is what the local politicians are for, and that leads to the third important aspect. Local politicians have to be aware of the damage they inflict on the European idea if they continuously blame the EU for their own inadequacies. The EU has been turned into the scapegoat for unsolved problems of local governments all across Europe and this is visible in the frustration of the people with the EU. Politicians have to learn to think in a European context and also support the European policy at home that they agree upon in Brussels. A fourth important issue would be to speed up the process of dealing with the democratic deficit, especially in the intergovernmental organisations. In the European Council the representatives of the national governments make decisions, appoint officials and draw up budgets behind closed doors. This kind of policy might have been acceptable in the 1950s and 60s, but is incompatible with the understanding of democracy in the 21st century. National politicians probably favour this principle of decision making because the lack of transparency then makes it possible for them to blame the EU in front of their local constituency for decisions they have supported behind closed doors.\nFinally, the most important issue that has contributed to a widespread rejection of the EU is the neo-liberalist economic policy of the Union. At a time when the middle class - always a strong force in Europe - is losing out and sees its existence threatened in Europe, and at a time when working incomes are stagnating while company profits are rising, Europeans no longer accept that EU policy is solely driven by business interests. The middle class carried the economic expansion of the Miracle Years of the 1950s and 60s and in the 1970s for the first time in history there was a more or less fair distribution of incomes in Western Europe. But since then the wealth gap has drastically widened again and the Europeans blame the EU, not only their national governments. The reaction of those who feel a loss might be either to vote for populist parties or - hopefully - to stand up and try to influence European policy in a way that benefits the citizens more than the corporations. People do not accept any longer that the EU is still propagating liberal trade policies and the unrestricted free market with the exception of CAP (Common Agricultural Policy), while the USA and Asian countries, such as China and India, are protecting their home markets and restricting trade. So EU policy in future will have to concentrate more on preserving the European social model and shielding the European citizens from the harshest consequences of internationalisation. Otherwise it will lose legitimacy in the eyes of Europeans.\nThe European Union has been driven by economic interests from the start and social and cultural aspects have always been marginal as is discussed in this paper, and Europeans also do not expect the EU to take over the social responsibilities of their nation states as can be seen from the Eurobarometer 2008 and the interviews. On the contrary, they prefer more freedom of decision making on a national level, but they expect the EU to build a framework within which the European welfare state in its many varieties is not dismantled, but can survive, in a reformed way if necessary. And if the EU does not manage to become a \"union with a human face\" the Europeans will no longer support it.\n1 Braudel, Fernand, A History of Civilisations, Penguin 1993, 399-424\nJudt, Tony, A Grand Illusion?

Maybe I\u2019m being foolish, but I\u2019ve got something to try out.\nI\u2019m using Cardboard on my Transformer tablet (\u2019tis a wonderful Android thing) to construct a matrix of index cards that are short 1-2 sentence summaries of scenes or even strings of scenes I want to write. They come in no order, and can occur years apart in story time. All that matters is that they\u2019re scenes I want to write. Maybe I can bridge them later effectively, maybe not.\nI use colors to mark up which ideas are formative, which have first drafts, and which are almost finalized, and a last color for when they are final. I then sort by color, and muse, and then go to bed. I can sleep because I\u2019ve recorded the ideas down in the matrix.\nAnd when I feel like writing, anything from 100 to 2000 words, I can pick a card and just write for a while.\nWho knows. Once I gather enough cards and drafts, I might be able to write enjoyable bridges. Gods know it\u2019s probably not kind to readers to have boring bridges between enjoyable bits. (At least, from the reader\u2019s side of the book, it\u2019s certainly annoyed me.)\n\u2190 I Love Puzzle Strike\nBentos #9 and #10 \u2192",

        "raw_content": "Who killed the 20th century\u2019s greatest spy? \u2014 (The Guardian)\nWhen Ashraf Marwan fell to his death from the balcony of a London flat, he took his secrets with him. Was he working for Egypt or Israel? And did the revelation of his identity lead to his murder?\nhis much is certain: Ashraf Marwan, a man some describe as the 20th century\u2019s greatest spy, was alive when he tumbled from the fifth-floor balcony of his \u00a34.4m London flat. The Egyptian businessman landed, shortly after 1.30pm on 27 June 2007, in the private rose garden at number 24 Carlton House Terrace, a street whose former occupants include three prime ministers (Palmerston, Earl Grey and Gladstone) and which lies a few hundred metres from Piccadilly Circus. Overhead, the lunchtime sky was obnoxious with helicopters, swarming above Tony Blair\u2019s Teflon-plated convoy as it carried the prime minister to Buckingham Palace, where he would hand in his resignation. A woman screamed. Someone called the police. The paramedics arrived too late. Marwan died from a ruptured aorta.\nThe details of the final minutes of Marwan\u2019s life are much more opaque. Not that there weren\u2019t witnesses: on the morning of his death, four men were meeting on the third floor of an adjacent building, 116 Pall Mall, in a room with a clear view of Marwan\u2019s balcony. In a curious twist, these men \u2013 J\u00f3zsef R\u00e9p\u00e1si, Essam Shawki, Michael Parkhurst and John Roberts \u2013 worked for one of Marwan\u2019s companies, Ubichem PLC; they were waiting for their boss to join them. He was late. When they called around midday to find out why, he assured the group that he would be with them shortly.\nR\u00e9p\u00e1si, who was sitting with the window to his left, recalled that he was startled by one of his colleagues crying out, \u201cLook what Dr Marwan is doing!\u201d Two of the other witnesses claimed at the time that they saw Marwan leap from the balcony. By the time R\u00e9p\u00e1si had moved to see out of the window he saw \u201cDr Marwan falling\u201d. Shawki, who was then the director of Ubichem, ran downstairs to help. The other three men remained in the room, shocked and bewildered. After a moment, R\u00e9p\u00e1si looked out of the window again, straining to see the spot where Marwan had landed. \u201cI saw two Middle Eastern-looking persons looking down from the balcony of one of the apartments,\u201d he told me via email \u2013 although neither he nor his colleagues knew whether or not the men were standing on the balcony of apartment number 10, Marwan\u2019s address.\nDid Marwan jump or was he pushed? The postmortem examination found traces of antidepressants in Dr Marwan\u2019s blood. A report from his doctor said that he had been \u201cunder considerable stress of late\u201d, and had lost 10kg in two months. But there are reasons to believe suicide was unlikely. There was no note. Marwan was due to fly to the US that evening for a meeting with his lawyer. He had just been accepted into the Reform Club, whose members include Prince Charles and former MI5 boss Dame Stella Rimington. A few days earlier he had bought his grandson a PlayStation 3 for his birthday. Marwan and his wife, Mona Nasser, the daughter of the former Egyptian president, were due to take their five grandchildren on holiday. Marwan had plans. He had appointments. He had reasons to live. \u201cThere is no evidence of mental or psychiatric disorder,\u201d the coroner William Dolman said, after a 2010 inquest into Marwan\u2019s death, which did not reach a verdict. There was \u201cno evidence of any intention to commit suicide\u201d, Dolman concluded. But paradoxically, he also declared there was \u201cabsolutely no evidence\u201d to support claims that Marwan was murdered.\nBut while Marwan may not have intended to take his life, he certainly feared for it. The last time he was alone in his apartment with his wife, he told her that he \u201cmight be killed\u201d. He added, portentously: \u201cI have a lot of different enemies.\u201d In the months leading up to his death, Nasser recalled that her husband checked the door and locks every night before bed, a new habit unseen during their 38 previous years of marriage.\nAccording to Marwan\u2019s family, there was another clue at the scene \u2013 or, more precisely, the absence of a clue. The only known copy of his memoirs, which he was close to completing, allegedly disappeared from his bookshelves on the day of his death. The three volumes, each around 200 pages, as well as the tapes on which Marwan had dictated the text, have never been recovered.\nMossad agents murdered my husband, says widow of billionaire arms dealer\nIn 2007, Ashraf Marwan fell to his death from his balcony in London. Mona Nasser explains why she is sure he was pushed\nAccording to one scholar, Marwan had worked, over the years, for Egyptian, Israeli, Italian, American and British intelligence; was he preparing to spill secrets that could embarrass kings and nations? Who took the documents, if indeed they existed? And was his death part of a pattern? Marwan was the third Egyptian living in London to die in similar circumstances. (June 2001: the actor Soad Hosny fell from the balcony of Stuart Tower, a block of flats in Maida Vale, after she approached a publisher offering to write her memoirs. August 1973: El-Leithy Nassif, former head of the late Egyptian president Anwar Sadat\u2019s presidential guard, fell from a balcony in the very same tower. He too was writing his memoirs.) All three victims had links to the Egyptian security services.\nThe inquest into Marwan\u2019s death failed to provide many answers. \u201cWe simply don\u2019t know the facts, despite careful investigation,\u201d Dolman, the coroner, told the court in 2010. Indeed, after three years of examination by two separate murder squads, including Scotland Yard\u2019s elite Specialist Crime Directorate, there remain, as Dolman put it, \u201cmany unanswered questions\u201d. The story is alluring because its mysteries jar with the circumstances of the day \u2013 a death at lunchtime, in central London, with witnesses. The scene is littered with clues, but there is apparently no evidence to settle the story. And yet Marwan\u2019s tale continues to itch at the curious. The doorman at 24 Carlton House Terrace told me that journalists drop by at a rate of \u201caround one a year\u201d, seeking answers about what happened that day. File a freedom of information request on the subject of Ashraf Marwan and you\u2019ll receive an exhaustive list that outlines the many exemptions protecting the British intelligence agencies\u2019 files on the matter. Both Marwan\u2019s life and death remain opaque, composed of fuzzy details that sent obituary writers glumly reaching for the ifs and maybes.\nAt the precise moment that Ashraf Marwan tumbled from his balcony, Ahron Bregman was sitting in his office in the war studies department at King\u2019s College London, waiting for a call from the spy that never came. After a few hours, Bregman left to return to Wimbledon, where he took his family to lunch at Nando\u2019s. As he left the restaurant, his mobile phone rang. It was his sister, calling from Israel: Marwan was dead. The news disoriented Bregman, but, in the context of their missed appointment, it was not entirely unexpected. Marwan had also left him a string of stricken answerphone messages in the preceding days. Bregman knew that his friend feared his life was in danger\u2026",

        "title": "Fragile X Syndrome Article - StatPearls",
        "raw_content": "Fragile X syndrome (FXS), also called Martin-Bell syndrome, is a non-Mendelian trinucleotide repeat disorder. FXS is the most prevalent inherited cause of mild to severe intellectual disability and the most common monogenic cause of autism spectrum disorder (ASD)[1][2]. It accounts for about one-half of cases of X-linked mental retardation and is the most common cause of mental impairment after trisomy 21 physical features include a long and narrow face with a prominent jaw, flexible fingers, large ears, and enlarged testicles in males. These features usually become more apparent in older children. About a third of these children have features of autism and delayed speech that are present from an early age. Hyperactivity and seizures are common. FXS is indirectly caused by expansion of the cysteine-guanine-guanine (CGG) triplet repeat within the Fragile X mental retardation one gene (FMR1) located on the X chromosome [3]. This CGG expansion silences FMR1 expression resulting in an abolished, or greatly diminished, expression of the fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP). FMRP is needed for the development of neuronal connections (synapses) and some ovarian functions. The lack of FMRP is the direct cause of FXS. Diagnosis is by molecular genetic testing which determines the number of CGG repeats in the FMR1 gene. Normally, it is between five and 40 repeats. Individuals with 55 to 200 repeats have an FMR1 gene premutation (PM) and usually (but not always) have a normal intellect. Individuals with greater than 200 CGG repeats have a full mutation (FM) for FXS. Testing for PM carriers (by an FMR1 DNA test) allows for genetic counseling. Prenatal testing for FXS is an option often provided to women with a premutation or a full mutation.\nFragile X syndrome is considered to be an X-linked dominant condition with variable expressivity and reduced penetrance [4]. However, due to X-inactivation in females and genetic anticipation, the inheritance of FXS does not follow standard X-linked dominant inheritance. Females with full FMR1 mutations have a milder phenotype than males as a result of variability in X-inactivation.\nThe expanded CGG triplets in the 5\u2019-untranslated region of FMR1 are hypermethylated resulting in a decreased expression of FMRP. The methylation status of CGG triplets is, therefore, a key factor for categorizing FXS, in other words, the greater the degree of methylation the greater the deficit of FMRP. A molecular consequence of reduced FMRP is the hyperacti\u00advation the extracellular-signal-regulated kinase (ERK) sign\u00adaling pathways as well as the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1).\nFragile X syndrome occurs in about 1 in 4000 males and 1 in 8000 females. The exact frequency is, however, unknown. Female carrier status is estimated to be as high as 1 in 130 to 250 population, and the incidence of male carriers is about 1 in 250 to 800 population. Life expectancy is lower than the general population.\nAt birth FXS neonates often exhibit no clinical signs of FXS with most parameters (e.g., head circumference, weight, and height) in the normal range. In early childhood FXS, physical and developmental features become more apparent including developmental delays, psychomotor delays, intellectual disabilities, and a long face with prominent ears and flat feet[5]. Pubertal macroorchidism development in males is a hallmark of male FXS. Frequent bouts of otitis media and sinusitis are often observed. Otitis media can cause conductive hearing problems further contributing to developmental delays. Poor expressive language skills are common. An estimated 30% to 60% of individuals with FXS have autism. Males with a full mutation will display a complete penetrance and will likely display symptoms of FXS, while females with a full mutation display a penetrance of about 50% with symptoms ranging from mild to severe.\nLong face with long palpebral fissures as well as a broad philtrum\nProminent forehead and protruding ears with soft cartilage\nHigh-arched palate and dental crowding\nHyperextensible finger joints and thumbs\nPostpubertal macroorchidism\nBiting, hand flapping, poor eye contact, language disorders from cluttered speech to complete lack of speech depending on phenotype severity\nMild to profound intellectual disability\nSome have a Prader\u2013Willi syndrome (PWS) phenotype with obesity, hyperphagia, and hypogonadism, but lack the characteristic hypotonia and feeding problems in infancy.\nFragile X testing should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any individual with a family history of FXS, intellectual disabilities, impaired development, or autism of unknown etiology. Molecular genetics, rather than cytogenetics, are now used to diagnose FXS. The number of CGG repeats is measured by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and methylation status by Southern blot analysis. Measuring the number of CGG repeats on the X chromosome permits accurate FXS risk assessment and also provides information relevant to FXS families concerning reproductive options. It should be noted that testing only for CGG repeat number will not detect the less than 1% of FXS caused by FMR1 missense mutations or deletions. Both sequencing of the FMR1 gene and direct measurement of the FMRP protein level would be useful for detecting potential \u201cnonCGG repeat\u201d causes of FXS.\nPrenatal testing for FXS can be accomplished by PCR using DNA from chorionic villi or amniocytes. Prenatal detection of FXS can promote early intervention and help with family planning decisions. Due to its complex mode of inheritance and long-term health implications, genetic counseling is especially important.\nIndividuals with FXS should be evaluated by a geneticist and a specialist in neurodevelopment such as a neurodevelopmental pediatrician. Specialists in occupational therapy, speech therapy, and behavioral therapy may also be appropriate to target specific developmental differences. Psychiatry evaluation may be helpful if there are symptoms of mood disorders, self-injurious behavior, depression or specific phobias, all of which have been reported in higher frequency in FXS.\nThere no cure for FXS[6]. Management includes speech therapy, behavioral therapy, sensory integration occupational therapy, and special education. Early intervention is particularly important. Individuals with FXS in their family should consider genetic counseling to assess the likelihood of having a child that is affected.\nMedications used for symptom-based treatment aim to minimize some of the behavioral and mental health challenges associated with FXS. Stimulants may target hyperactivity, impulsivity and attention issues. Antidepressants may treat anxiety, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, and mood disorders and antipsychotics may be used if self-injurious or aggressive behaviors are present. Anticonvulsants are used to control seizures. Drugs targeting the mGluR5 (metabotropic glutamate receptors) linked with synaptic plasticity have been shown to be particularly beneficial. Adverse effects specific to the FXS population may occur with most of the agents listed above. Therefore, medication management is best done by practitioners with familiarity both with the particular drug and the FXS population.\nUnderstanding the molecular mechanisms for FXS could provide valuable insights into potential therapies. As mentioned above, FXS is associated with increased activation of the ERK and mTORC1 pathways which are both inhibited by metformin, a drug widely used to treat type 2 diabetes. Promising behavioral and biochemical results in an FXS animal model (FMR1 knockout mice) suggest that metformin could be a potential therapy of FXS and a follow-up clinical trial is being planned.\nTake 15 Question Quiz on Fragile X Syndrome",

        "raw_content": "Maria Bandres\nAspergillus is a ubiquitous saprophyte in nature found in air, soil and organic matter. Humans normally inhale the spore form of the fungi. However, the disease is usually seen in immunocompromised patients. The immune system plays an important role not only in recognizing inhaled mold and controlling growth but also in regulating the body's allergic and inflammatory response to the infection.[1][2][3]\nHigh mortality rates often accompany systemic Aspergillus fumigatus infections; therefore, early diagnosis and treatment in the immunocompromised population are important.\nThe most common species responsible for infections are A. fumigatus, Aspergillus flavus, and Aspergillus terreus.\nA. fumigatus is a fungus from the family of Trichocomaceae. First described by Fresenius in 1863, it is known to have a stable haploid genome of 29.4 million base pairs.\nThe life cycle outside of the human host is characterized by asexual reproduction which proceeds conidiophores, structures where the infectious form known as conidia, are produced and released into the air. Conidia are responsible for fungal dispersion and preserving the fungi genome under adverse conditions.\nOn average, there are as many as a few hundred conidia inhaled by humans daily.[4][5][6]\nSpecies prevalence has changed over the past decade. A. fumigatus used to be the culprit of 90% of infections. In recent studies, it has been shown that A. fumigatus species complex is responsible for approximately 60% of infections followed in frequency by A. flavus, Aspergillus niger, and A. terreus respectively.\nInvasive pulmonary aspergillosis is usually seen in patients with underlying conditions and risk factors such as severe prolonged neutropenia, inherited immunodeficiency, steroid dependency, use of immunosuppressive medications, transplant patients, AIDS.\nOther forms of aspergillosis such as allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA), allergic sinusitis, and saprophytic infection are important causes of morbidity but are seldom life-threatening.\nInfections caused by Aspergillus are commonly located in the lower respiratory tract, lungs, sinuses, and skin. The central nervous system (CNS) and cardiovascular system may be affected by direct or hematogenous spread.\nHuman-host defense against the inhaled spores begins with the mucous layer and the ciliary action (compromised in diseases such as cystic fibrosis, asthma, Kartagener) located in the respiratory tract. Macrophages normally react upon recognizing fungi key cell wall components such as beta-D-glucan, secreting inflammatory mediators that ultimately attract neutrophils to initiate cellular immunity.\nMany species of Aspergillus are known to produce toxic metabolites (aflatoxins, mycotoxins 3-nitropropionic acid, and ochratoxin A) which inhibit the action of macrophage and neutrophil phagocytosis.\nUnderlying immunosuppression is directly proportional to neutrophil dysfunction and reduced number of neutrophils. Patients on chronic steroid treatment also have associated macrophage and neutrophil function. In these cases, the risk of disease along with the type of disease is secondary to impaired phagocytosis, suppressed T cell function and oxidative cascade.\nVascular invasion can also occur if fungal cell surface components bind to the vessel wall components ultimately resulting in necrosis, infarction, or hemorrhage.\nChronic necrotizing pulmonary aspergillosis is characterized by granuloma formation and alveolar consolidation.\nAspergillosis is defined as infection with histopathological confirmation and a positive result of the specimen from a normally sterile site.\nBiopsies carry the risk of bleeding, the reason for which noninvasive testing is usually done as the initial step. These include serum biomarkers and sputum analysis.\nIf a biopsy is warranted, it is usually guided by imaging such as bronchoscopy, video-assisted thoracoscopy surgery, or CT.\nClinical presentation of Aspergillus-related infections manifests on a large spectrum. There are two important variables: underlying immune status and underlying pulmonary disease.\nThis spectrum can range from acute bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, chronic pulmonary aspergillosis, bronchitis, acute community-acquired, chronic cavitary nodules/aspergilloma to invasive disease in those severely immunocompromised.\nAllergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, most commonly found in patients with underlying asthma/cystic fibrosis, presents as asthma (shortness of breath with associated wheezing) with recurrent exacerbations which could in some cases be complicated by systemic symptoms such as fever, malaise, bronchial obstruction, or brown mucous plugs. This can be associated with allergic fungal rhinosinusitis characterized by common symptoms of sinusitis but associated with dark-colored nasal discharge.\nChronic pulmonary aspergillosis presents as a progressive course over months of fatigue, malaise, fever, night sweats, shortness of breath, weight loss, cough, hemoptysis, and sputum production. Its presentation also ranges from a spectrum of aspergilloma, aspergillus nodule, chronic cavitary aspergillosis, chronic fibrosing aspergillosis, and subacute invasive pulmonary aspergillosis formerly known as chronic necrotizing aspergillosis.\nOf note, subacute invasive aspergillosis is present in patients with evidence of immunosuppression, however, whereas invasive presentations have a short progression of 4 weeks, subacute presentation progresses over the course of 1 to 3 months.\nInvasive aspergillosis is commonly seen in states of severe immunosuppression such as organ transplanted patients, AIDS, prolonged neutropenia, advanced cancer, prolonged use of steroids. It most frequently presents as a pulmonary infection after airway inoculation of conidia, however gastrointestinal and skin forms are also seen. Suspicion for pulmonary aspergillosis in the setting of the comorbidities mentioned above should arise if any of the following present: fever, shortness of breath, hemoptysis, cough, pleuritic chest pain. Tracheobronchitis is commonly seen in organ transplant patients. Rhinocerebral aspergillosis is seen in the setting of hematological malignancies in neutropenic patients. Disseminated infection correlates with poor prognosis, and it can be seen affecting organs such as the brain, (brain abscesses and infarction), eye (endophthalmitis), skin (cutaneous aspergillosis), liver, heart (endocarditis), and kidneys.\nEvaluation of suspected aspergillosis infection varies depending on the patient's presentation and immune state.[7][8]\nInitial management should include laboratory studies such as:\nComplete blood count with differential to determine eosinophil count (which is usually elevated more than 500 cells/microliters), serum IgE (elevated more than 1000 IU/mL).\nAspergillus skin test positivity or detectable IgE against Aspergillus\nSputum analysis Gram stain plus culture: with findings of eosinophils, Charcot-Leyden crystals, and Aspergillus in culture.\nImaging: Aspergillus bronchopulmonary infection can be evidenced on chest x-ray with findings of mucous plugs or central bronchiectasis. Upper lobe parenchymal opacities with atelectasis secondary to bronchial obstruction are also commonly seen. Imaging can be further assessed with high-resolution CT scan which can also detect mucous plugging, tree-in-bud opacities, ground-glass attenuation, and atelectasis. In cases of early invasive aspergillosis, CT scan can provide an early diagnosis when detecting focal lesions in the presence of fever: nodules with ground glass infiltrates are seen in neutropenic patients (halo sign). CT head is warranted in cases of suspected CNS aspergillosis with evidence of ring-enhancing lesions (abscesses) and cortical or subcortical infarction.\nAspergillomas are radiologically characterized by a rounded mass (fungal ball) in a pulmonary cavity associated with a positive culture or positive IgG. Nodules can also be a form of radiological presentation after lung cancer is excluded with biopsy. Chronic cavitary/fibrosing forms present as 1 large or more than 2 cavities without a fungal ball associated with the previously mentioned chronic symptoms and positive cultures/IgG.\nIn cases of severe invasive aspergillosis an emerging tool has been used especially in intensive care unit patients, beta-(1,3)-d-glucan which is a cell wall component of Aspergillus and useful in cases where the onset of treatment is essential to improve prognosis. This component is also present in other organisms such as Candida, Fusarium, and Pneumocystis.\nSerum galactomannan is another Aspergillus cell wall component released into the bloodstream during intravascular hyphal growth. However, as it is captured by a neutrophil concentration that may be falsely low which makes its sensitivity lower in non-neutropenic patients.\nThe key test for chronic pulmonary aspergillosis is a positive Aspergillus immunoglobin (IgG) serum test. Only a minority of patients have positive cultures (less than 10%). Elevated galactomannan assay from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid yields higher sensitivity in these cases. Other nonspecific markers are elevated CRP and ESR.\nTreatment of acute bronchopulmonary aspergillosis consists of a glucocorticoid regimen plus itraconazole. Voriconazole is another alternative in cases where itraconazole is not well tolerated. Systemic glucocorticoids are the mainstay of treatment followed by a slow oral taper over the course of 3 months. The initial dose of prednisone is usually 0.5 mg/kg.[9][10][11]\nMonitoring consists of measuring serum total IgE every 1 to 2 months.\nIn poorly controlled patients, asthma studies have shown that omalizumab a humanized monoclonal antibody against IgE have suggested benefits in patients without cystic fibrosis.\nChronic pulmonary aspergillosis treatment varies with the manifestations of the disease in the wide range previously described and patient's pulmonary status:\nAspergilloma: surgical resection with or without embolization can be considered in patients with limited disease and good respiratory function to prevent hemoptysis, along with pre and postoperative antifungal therapy such as Voriconazole to avoid pleural aspergillosis. However, patients with stable radiographic findings, asymptomatic, immunocompetent a conservative management guided by close monitoring is also a feasible option.\nAspergillus nodules that have been resected to rule out lung cancer should not be treated with antifungal therapy unless the patient is symptomatic. Monitoring with imaging and serum antibody titers is recommended.\nChronic cavitary/fibrosing pulmonary aspergillosis: require antifungal treatment. Studies have been done with Itraconazole, Voriconazole, Posaconazole, Isavuconazole, Amphotericin B and Micafungin, leaving the latter 2 for severely ill patients who have failed azole therapy. Embolization is reserved for patients who develop hemoptysis. Treatment duration recommended is 6 months, however, if the disease progresses lifelong therapy may be warranted.\nInvasive aspergillosis treatment can either be monotherapy with voriconazole or in combination with an echinocandin. However, it is important to take into account the species of Aspergillus when choosing the right antifungal therapy. If there is no good response to the initial therapy or progression/deterioration of patient's status is noted then salvage therapy with other drug regimens such as isavuconazole, amphotericin B plus echinocandins should be considered. The length of treatment depends on the location of the infection with a minimum duration of 6 to 12 weeks that could be prolonged for months or years. Debridement of necrotic tissue might be required as adjunctive therapy in severe cases.\nThe following should be considered as the differential diagnosis in the wide presentation of Aspergillus-related infections:\nBacterial/viral pneumonia\nLung abscess/bronchogenic carcinoma\nPrognosis depends on the initial presentation of the infection, with allergic bronchogenic aspergillosis being the milder end of the spectrum and invasive aspergillosis being the severe end of the spectrum. Treatment course and response largely depends on the site of infection as well as the patient's immune state. Longer treatment periods might be required for immunocompromised patients who have a slower response to treatment.\nPrevention of advanced disease starts with reducing mold-exposure and antifungal prophylaxis targeted to high-risk patients with options such as mold-active azoles, echinocandins, and amphotericin B formulations.\nStudies have shown that in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome, acute myelogenous leukemia, and severe graft-versus-host disease, posaconazole was an effective prophylactic agent. It is important to state that mold-active azoles have significantly drug-drug interaction rate given their metabolism through CP-450 and that this is taken into consideration when choosing the appropriate drug therapy.\nFurther investigation is needed to determine the best treatment in cases of prophylaxis failure in patients with invasive aspergillosis, diagnostic tests with higher sensitivity and specificity and detection of polymorphisms in host genes that mediate innate immunity and may play a role in invasive infection in periods of immunosuppression.\nAspergillus infections are best managed by a multidisciplinary team because of their seriousness. In immunocompromised people, the infection can rapidly turn fatal. In patients with prior lung disease or those who are immunocompromised, it is recommended that one consult with an infectious disease expert for management. The outcomes after an aspergillus infection depend on the patient's comorbidity and immune status. In healthy people, the outcomes are good but in immunocompromised patients, the outcomes are guarded.\nTake 5 Question Quiz on Aspergillus Fumigatus",

The Court can also stop a prosecution and stay charges where there were serious Charter breaches.\nTitle: child in need of protection\nThis is a child who has been or is at risk of being harmed because of something that their parent or caregiver has done or not done.\nThe law says a child is \u201cin need of protection\u201d only when one or more specific conditions are met. For example, it says a child might be in need of protection if at least one of the following is true:\nthey suffered from physical harm because of what a parent did\nthere is a risk that they will likely suffer physical harm because of what a parent does\nthey have been sexually abused by a parent\nthere is a risk that they will likely be sexually abused by a parent\nIf the court decides that a child is in need of protection, it can make an order that it thinks in in the child\u2019s best interests. For example, it can order that the child be placed in the care of the Children\u2019s Aid Society.\nTitle: child support\nChild support is the amount of money that one parent pays to the other parent to support their child financially. The money is paid to the parent who has the child living with them most of the time. The person who pays child support is called the payor parent.\nThe amount of child support that the payor parent pays is usually based on the Child Support Guidelines.",

        "raw_content": "November 11, 2017 November 14, 2017 Posted in Birds, WildlifeTagged Birds, Wildlife\nHoots, caws and chirps\u2026who hasn\u2019t heard them? From fresh-spun melodies to clockwork calling, birds have enthralled us with their ability to spin brilliant ditties from out of nowhere. But how did these birdsongs evolve and where are they headed?\nA songbird\u2019s panpipes\nScientific expeditions to Cape Lamb in Antarctica lead to one of the most important discoveries in the field of ornithology. A fossil, named Vegavis iaai, was found in the harsh, cold environment. Upon closer examination, it was found to be a direct ancestor of the Anatidae family, to which belong today\u2019s ducks, geese and swans.\nBut, while the fossil does shed light on avian evolution, the most inspiring discovery had nothing to do with ducks or geese. The Vegavis iaai remains to this day, the only bird fossil to have an intact vocal cord. The fossil\u2019s voice box \u2013 the syrinx \u2013 is the oldest in collection. This discovery allows scientists to study a very obscure aspect of bird evolution \u2013 their song.\nThe syrinx is the voice box found in birds. Just as with the human larynx, the syrinx\u2019s primary function is the production of vocalizations. The discovery of the Vegavis iaai\u2019s syrinx helps scientists understand how and why birdsong evolved in the first place.\nDinosaurs, which started out as sea creatures, evolved the ability to walk on land. Soon, this evolution went up a notch with their developing wings and having the ability to fly. A key finding of this research was how the syrinx (or anything resembling it) was non-existent in non-avian dinosaurs; proving that the development of a distinct voice box in avian dinosaurs was a much later development.\nThe development of the syrinx started a chain reaction in avian evolution. CT scans and 3D reconstruction of Vegavis iaai showed how soft tissue and neural development also evolved to accommodate the requirements of the syrinx. It\u2019s been theorized that the evolution of the syrinx and the change in brain development led to the evolution of the birdsong.\nAnalysis of non-avian dinosaur fossils does not indicate the presence of a voice box or a vocal cord. Scientists believe that if dinosaurs did vocalize, they would do so with the help of the air sacs in their lungs or the crests on their head. The theory is that dinosaurs would fill the sacs with air and then force this air out to create sounds; a technique that is sure to have been an inconvenience to avian dinosaurs while in flight.\nResearchers theorize that the origin of flight was the trigger that led to the evolution of a voice box in birds. The new environment that avian dinosaurs inhabited necessitated the development of an organ which could help them communicate with each other easily.\nRe-evolution of the syrinx?\nResearch conducted on Black-capped Chickadees found on the Hudson River in New York indicated a change in the frequency, pitch and tone of the birdsong. Scientists believed that this particular species of birds may be in the grips of evolution.\nHowever, further research revealed that re-evolution of the syrinx wasn\u2019t the case. In fact, researchers were alarmed by what they discovered. The area around the Hudson River is the recipient of harmful chemicals such as Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), which were found to be the cause of the shift in the Chickadee\u2019s birdsong.\nToxins from the PCBs were found to adversely impact brain development in the birds. The area of the brain that was affected was the one that controlled the syrinx and other organs responsible for vocalization. This alteration in brain development led to the production of low quality and feeble vocalizations in Black-capped Chickadees.\nIt isn\u2019t just PCB that\u2019s poisonous to birds and their song. A whole host of chemicals such as Bisphenol A and DDT also affect brain development and vocalization in birds.\nBut, it would be unfair to assume that these chemicals only have a negative impact. Song sparrows, when affected by PCBs were found to produce more complex and more pleasant-sounding tunes than before. The same goes for Starlings.\nEnvironmental disruptions and the evolution of avian vocalization\nWhile pollution is one aspect of changing vocalization, another is the evolution of urban spaces. The birds of the past didn\u2019t have to contend with things like traffic, changing temperature and pollution-driven changes in airflow and air currents.\nToday\u2019s birds are finding it increasingly hard to attract mates and communicate with fellow avian, due to disruptions from people, vehicles, pollution and temperature. Just as humans developed sound-proof rooms to better communicate with peers, birds are slowly evolving the tone, pitch and frequency of their birdsong to better communicate with each other.\nWhile the birdsong itself is undergoing changes, it is difficult to tell whether the syrinx will undergo any physical modifications or not. Only time will tell what will become of it. As for whether birds will be positively or negatively impacted by this forced evolution; scientists are yet to understand how things will shape up.\nBut researchers aren\u2019t afraid. Birds have shown extraordinary resilience to forced change and evolution. Researchers believe that they will emerge victorious and melodious after this evolution as well.\n*Dinosaur- representative image only\n2 thoughts on \u201cDulcet Darlings: The Evolution of Birdsong\u201d\nMan Hoffstetter says:\nI enjoy the helpful information you provide in your articles.\nMan Hoffstetter, thank you for the feedback.

        "raw_content": "Lucky breaks happen. But not in the way you think. They are slowly grown, like a crop; planted, cultivated and ultimately harvested. Success is not a random accident. Life is not a lottery.\nPeople don\u2019t start taking small steps toward their goals because they\u2019re waiting for a lucky break. Perhaps you know someone who once hoped to become a professional athlete. The truth, of course, is that very few people have the talent to become superstars in sports, where the odds of making it are a million to one. And when the lucky break didn\u2019t turn out the way they hoped, they give up. They become victims of the lucky break myth.\nAny successful person pays the price; hours and hours of hard work with no one watching or aware of what they are doing. Success in anything doesn\u2019t happen overnight or out of thin air. It requires hundreds of small steps taken every day.\nThe first step is key, but the second step is just as important. People often take the first step, don\u2019t see any immediate success and quit. How many people have the strength and courage to take the second step?\nWhen you were a toddler, you made your way around by crawling. Everyone around you was walking, and one day you got it into your little head that maybe you could give walking a try. You let go and took that first, amazing, bold step, and smack \u2013 you fell right on your bottom.\nSo what did you do? You didn\u2019t say to yourself, \u201cI hope nobody saw that. You know, maybe I\u2019m not cut out for walking. And crawling isn\u2019t so bad\u201d.\nNo. You did what other toddlers have done throughout time \u2013 you got back up and took a second step.\nThe second step was probably no better than the first. But that second step was where you really started to learn how to walk. It was only a matter of time before you were really walking on your own.\nBabies instinctively understand the slight edge. We forget it only as we grow up.\nBusiness is a good example of taking small steps. And the way to do this is to structure these steps as part of an holistic view of the business, a 3-5 year strategic plan.\nAs we grow older we tend to operate on a wing and a prayer, and tend to ignore any structured plans that we put in place.\nAs a result, we stagnate, fail to adapt to changes that are inevitable, and do not achieve the level of success that we intended.\nA strategic plan focuses on the process, which will allow the outcome to take care of itself. Focus areas are the underlying points of any strategic pillar and focusing on achieving those day-by-day, week-by-week, month-by-month and year-by-year will allow any business at any stage to achieve the level of success that they strive to.\nStrategic Management NZ will sit down for a free one hour consultation where an analysis of your businesses strengths and weaknesses will be produced. This will form the basis of the strategic planning process for your business.\nNo two strategic management plans will look alike. Every business and organisation has a different mission, different values, and different goals they want to achieve. The top of your business plan should remind you of your mission statement, your values and your vision. These are your reasons for being, and will help guide your planning and goal setting.\nNext, we\u2019ll outline the top five pillars of your strategy. Overall, what would you like to see happen in the next five years? Your vision for each of your five categories can be as broad or as specific as you like. Why are these the pillars of your strategic five year plan? The Rationale section outlines the reasons underpinning the pillars of your strategy. Make sure the \u2018What\u2019 and the \u2018Why\u2019 at the core of your business align, as they guide how you move forward.\nBased on your over-arching strategy pillars and your rationale, we can set definite milestones for you to achieve by the end of your five year plan. Challenge yourself by setting some lofty targets to really make your five year plan count.\nFinally, we\u2019ll figure out exactly what you need to do to reach your five years goals, and put them in an order that strategically makes sense. At the end of the day, creating a strategic management plan isn\u2019t rocket science. Strategic Management NZ make planning your strategy easy, and will help keep you on track along the way to help you achieve your goals.",

        "raw_content": "Justia \u203a US Law \u203a US Case Law \u203a US Supreme Court \u203a Volume 245 \u203a Crew Levick Co. v. Pennsylvania\nCrew Levick Co. v. Pennsylvania, 245 U.S. 292 (1917)\nCrew Levick Company v. Pennsylvania\nThis Court determines the constitutionality of a state tax upon its own judgment of the actual operation and effect of the tax, irrespective of its form and of how it is characterized by the state courts.\nA state tax on the business of selling goods in foreign commerce, measured by a percentage of the entire business transacted, is both a regulation of foreign commerce and an impost or duty on exports, and is therefore void. Ficklen v. Shelby Couny Taxing District, 145 U. S. 1, distinguished.\n256 Pa.St. 508 reversed.\nThe State of Pennsylvania, by an Act of May 2, 1899, P.L., p. 184, [Footnote 1] imposes an annual mercantile license tax\nof $3 upon each wholesale vender of or dealer in goods, wares, and merchandise, and \"one-half mill additional on each dollar of the whole volume, gross, of business transacted annually,\" and like taxes at another rate upon retail venders, and at still another upon venders at an exchange or board of trade. In the year 1913 plaintiff in error sold and delivered at wholesale, from a warehouse located in that state, merchandise to the value of about $47,000 to purchasers within the state, and merchandise to the value of about $430,000 to customers in foreign countries, the latter sales usually having been negotiated by agents abroad who took orders and transmitted them to plaintiff in error at its office in the State of Pennsylvania, subject to its approval, while in some cases orders were sent direct by the customers in foreign countries to plaintiff in error, and the goods thus ordered, upon the acceptance of the orders, having been shipped direct by plaintiff in error from its warehouse in Pennsylvania to its customers in the foreign countries. Under the Act of 1899, a mercantile license tax was imposed upon plaintiff in error, based upon the amount of its gross annual receipts. Plaintiff in error protested against the assessment of so muct of the tax as was based upon the\ngross receipts from merchandise shipped to foreign countries. The Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia, and, upon appeal, the supreme court of the state (256 Pa. 508) sustained the tax, overruling the contention that it amounted to a regulation of foreign commerce and also was an impost or duty on exports levied without the consent of Congress, contrary to \u00a7\u00a7 8 and 10 of Article I of the Constitution of the United States. [Footnote 2]\nWhether there was error in the disposition of the federal question is the only subject with which we have to deal.\nAs in other cases of this character, we accept the decision of the state court of last resort respecting the proper construction of the statute, but are in duty bound to determine the questions raised under the federal Constitution upon our own judgment of the actual operation and effect of the tax, irrespective of the form it bears or how it is characterized by the state courts. Galveston, Harrisburg, & San Antonio Ry. Co. v. Texas, 210 U. S. 217, 210 U. S. 227; St. Louis Southwestern Ry. Co. v. Arkansas, 235 U. S. 350, 235 U. S. 362; Kansas City &c. Ry. v. Kansas, 240 U. S. 227, 240 U. S. 231.\nIn this case, however, the characterization of the tax by the state court of last resort is a fair index of its actual operation and effect upon commerce. Soon after the passage of the act, in Knisely v. Cotterel, 196 Pa. 614, 630,\nthat court was called upon to construe it and to answer objections raised under the constitution of the state and the Fourth, Fifth, and Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States, and, in the course of an elaborate opinion, declared (p. 630):\n\"An examination of the details of the provisions of the present act makes it clear that the tax, as held by the learned judge below, is upon the business of vending merchandise, and that the classification is based on the manner of sale, and within each class the tax is graduated according to the gross annual volume of business transacted. This is apparent from the fact that the amount of the tax over the small fixed license fee is determined in every case by the volume of business, measured in dollars, and the rate at which it is to be levied is according to the manner of sale.\"\nThe bare question, then, is whether a state tax imposed upon the business of selling goods in foreign commerce, insofar as it is measured by the gross receipts from merchandise shipped to foreign countries, is, in effect, a regulation of foreign commerce or an impost upon exports within the meaning of the pertinent clauses of the federal Constitution. Although dual in form, the question may be treated as a single one, since it is obvious that, for the purposes of this case, an impost upon exports and a regulation of foreign commerce may be regarded as interchangeable terms. And there is no suggestion that the tax is limited to the necessities of inspection, or that the consent of Congress has been given.\nWe are constrained to hold that the answer must be in the affirmative. No question is made as to the validity of the small fixed tax of $3 imposed upon wholesale venders doing business within the state in both internal and foreign commerce, but the additional imposition of a percentage upon each dollar of the gross transactions in foreign commerce seems to us to be, by its necessary effect, a tax upon such commerce, and therefore a regulation of\nit, and, for the same reason, to be in effect an impost or duty upon exports. This view is so clearly supported by numerous previous decisions of this Court that it is necessary to do little more than refer to a few of the most pertinent. Case of the state Freight Tax, 15 Wall. 232, 82 U. S. 276-277; Robbins v. Shelby County Taxing District, 120 U. S. 489; Fargo v. Michigan, 121 U. S. 230, 121 U. S. 244; Philadelphia & Southern Steamship Co. v. Pennsylvania, 122 U. S. 326, 122 U. S. 336; Leloup v. Port of Mobile, 127 U. S. 640, 127 U. S. 648; McCall v. California, 136 U. S. 104, 136 U. S. 109; Galveston, Harrisburg & San Antonio Ry. Co. v. Texas, 210 U. S. 217, 210 U. S. 227.\nMost of these cases related to interstate commerce, but there is no difference between this and foreign commerce so far as the present question is concerned.\nThe principal reliance of the Commonwealth is upon Ficklen v. Shelby County Taxing District, 145 U. S. 1. Undoubtedly that case is near the borderline, but we think its authority would have to be stretched in order to sustain such a tax as is here in question. Consistently with due regard for the constitutional provisions, we are unable thus to extend it. In that case, the complaining parties were established in business within the taxing district as general merchandise brokers, and had taken out general and unrestricted licenses to do business of all kinds, both internal and interstate. As it happened, one of them (Ficklen), during the year in question, did an interstate business exclusively, and the other (Cooper & Co.) did a business nine-tenths of which was interstate. And the Court, by Mr. Chief Justice Fuller, said (p. 145 U. S. 21):\nWhere a resident citizen engages in general business subject to a particular tax, the fact that the business done chances to consist, for the time being, wholly or partially in negotiating sales between resident and nonresident merchants of goods situated in another state does not necessarily involve the taxation of interstate commerce, forbidden by the Constitution,\nand again (p. 145 U. S. 24):\n\"What position\nthey [the plaintiffs in error] would have occupied if they had not undertaken to do a general commission business, and had taken out no licenses therefor, but had simply transacted business for nonresident principals, is an entirely different question, which does not arise upon this record.\"\nBesides, the tax imposed in the Ficklen case was not directly upon the business itself or upon the volume thereof, but upon the amount of commissions earned by the brokers, which, although probably corresponding with the volume of the transactions, was not necessarily proportionate thereto. For these and other reasons, the case has been deemed exceptional.\nIn Postal Telegraph Cable Co. v. Adams, 155 U. S. 688, 155 U. S. 695, the Court, again speaking by Mr. Chief Justice Fuller, said:\n\"It is settled that where, by way of duties laid on the transportation of the subjects of interstate commerce, or on the receipts derived therefrom, or on the occupation or business of carrying it on, a tax is levied by a state on interstate commerce, such taxation amounts to a regulation of such commerce, and cannot be sustained.\"\nThe tax now under consideration, so far as it is challenged, fully responds to these tests. It bears no semblance of a property tax or a franchise tax in the proper sense, nor is it an occupation tax, except as it is imposed upon the very carrying on of the business of exporting merchandise. It operates to lay a direct burden upon every transaction in commerce by withholding, for the use of the state, a part of every dollar received in such transactions. That it applies to internal as well as to foreign commerce cannot save it, for, as was said in Case of the state Freight Tax, 15 Wall. 232, 277 (21 L.ed. 146):\n\"The state may tax its internal commerce, but if an act to tax interstate or foreign commerce is unconstitutional, it is not cured by including in its provisions subjects within the domain of the state.\"\nThat portion of the tax which is measured by the receipts from foreign commerce necessarily varies in proportion to the\nvolume of that commerce, and hence is a direct burden upon it.\nSo obvious is the distinction between this tax and those that were sustained in Maine v. Grand Trunk Ry. Co., 142 U. S. 217, U.S. Express Co. v. Minnesota, 223 U. S. 335, 223 U. S. 347, Baltic Mining Co. v. Massachusetts, 231 U. S. 68, 231 U. S. 87, Kansas City &c. Ry. v. Kansas, 240 U. S. 227, 240 U. S. 232, 240 U. S. 235, and some other cases of the same class that no time need be spent upon it.\nThe judgment under review must be\n\"Section 1. Be it enacted, etc., that from and after the passage of this act, each retail vender of or retail dealer in goods, wares, and merchandise shall pay an annual mercantile license tax of two dollars, and all persons so engaged shall pay one mill additional on each dollar of the whole volume, gross, of business transacted annually. Each wholesale vender of or wholesale dealer in goods, wares, and merchandise shall pay an annual mercantile license tax of three dollars, and all persons so engaged shall pay one-half mill additional on each dollar of the whole volume, gross, of business transacted annually. Each dealer in or vender of goods, wares, or merchandise at any exchange or board of trade shall pay a mercantile license tax of twenty-five cents on each thousand dollar worth, gross, of goods so sold.\"\n\"Section 2. And it is provided that all persons who shall sell to dealers in or venders of goods, wares, and merchandise, and to no other person or persons, shall be taken under the provisions of this act [to] be wholesalers, and all other venders of or dealers in goods, wares and merchandise shall be retailers, and shall pay an annual license tax as provided in this act for retailers.\"\nLiterally, the objection was that a tax based upon the gross receipts for merchandise shipped to foreign countries would be\n\"a tax levied by the United States of America upon commerce with foreign nations, in violation of Article I, \u00a7 8, of the Constitution of the United States, and would also be an impost or duty on exports levied by the State of Pennsylvania without the authority of an act of Congress in violation of Aricle I, \u00a7 10, of the Constitution of the United States.\"\nThe description of the tax as \"levied by the United States of America\" evidently was a slip, and so understood by both courts, as appears from the opinion of the court of common pleas (unreported), of which only the conclusion is quoted in the opinion of the supreme court.",

McGrath\nAfter \"transfers\" of assets of German nationals had been forbidden by Executive Orders issued pursuant to the Trading with the Enemy Act, petitioners, American holders of claims against a German bank, levied attachments on accounts of the debtor in a New York bank and prosecuted the claims to judgments in New York state courts. The Alien Property Custodian served on the New York bank Vesting Orders and also a \"turnover directive\" requiring that all funds in the accounts be turned over to him \"to be held, administered, and accounted for as provided by law.\" In an action in the Federal District Court, the Custodian sought a declaratory judgment that he is \"entitled to possession\" of the funds in the accounts.\nHeld: the Custodian is entitled to possession of the funds and to administer them. Zittman v. McGrath, ante, p. 341 U. S. 446, distinguished. Pp. 472- 341 U. S. 474.\nIn declaratory judgment actions against petitioners by the Alien Property Custodian, the District Court granted the relief sought. 82 F.Supp. 740. The Court of Appeals affirmed. 182 F.2d 349. This Court granted certiorari. 340 U.S. 882. Affirmed, p. 341 U. S. 474.\nThese are companion cases to Nos. 298 and 314, ante, p. 341 U. S. 446. Here, the petitioners attached the accounts of the Deutsche Reichsbank with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The attachments were levied at the same time as those levied on the Chase Bank accounts, and were also followed by state court actions against the Reichsbank, culminating in default judgments that have not been satisfied because of the Federal Government's freezing program. The Alien Property Custodian served on the Federal Reserve Bank Vesting Orders similar to those served on the Chase Bank in Nos. 298 and 314. But he also served on the Federal Reserve Bank a \"turnover directive\" describing the specific property which he required to be \"turned over to the undersigned to be held, administered and accounted for as provided by law,\" and calling attention to the protection which \u00a75(b) of the Trading With the Enemy Act, gives for compliance. No such directive was served on the Chase Bank in the companion cases. The Federal Reserve Bank refused to release to him the portion of the accounts that had been subjected to the attachment levies. The Custodian has been sustained by the courts below, as he was in Nos. 298 and 314, on the basis of Propper v. Clark, 337 U. S. 472. [Footnote 1]\nAll that we have said in subdivisions numbered I, II, and III in Nos. 298 and 314 respecting the nature of the rights acquired under New York law by an attaching creditor, and the position occupied by those rights consistent with the freezing program, is equally applicable to the attachments here involved. The important distinction between these cases and their companions is in the Vesting Orders issued by the Custodian and the nature of the judgment he has sought in each. The only order issued to the Chase Bank was a \"right, title, and interest\" Vesting Order, which, as we understand the Custodian to concede, put him in the place of the German banks and left open to judicial determination whether any valid interests as against anyone were created by the attachments. In the litigation involving the Chase Bank, the Custodian sought a declaratory judgment that the freezing program precluded attaching creditors from obtaining any interest in the blocked property good as against the debtors.\nIn these cases, the Custodian pursued a different course, not only in that he served on the Federal Reserve Bank a \"turnover directive,\" but also in that the relief asked in this case omits any request for a declaration that the attachments are invalid. He asks a decree only that the Custodian is \"entitled to possession\" of the accounts in their entirety. In other words, in the actions involving the Chase Bank, the Custodian stepped into the shoes of the German banks and sought to free their titles of the state liens; here, he seeks to step into the shoes of the Federal Reserve Bank as possessor of the credits and funds, leaving unadjudicated the effect of such substitution of custody upon the attaching creditors' rights.\nWhile the statute under which the funds are to be \"held, administered and accounted for\" authorizes the vesting of such foreign-owned property in the Custodian and its administration \"in the interest of and for the benefit of\nthe United States,\" [Footnote 2] it is not a confiscation measure, but a liquidation measure for the protection of American creditors. It provides for the filing and proving of claims and states that the funds \"shall be equitably applied'\" for the payment of debts. [Footnote 3] If the Custodian disallows a claim, or if he disallows a claim of priority where claims exceed assets, the claimant may seek relief in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. [Footnote 4] The transfer of possession of these funds does not purport to work any automatic deprivation of rights of any class of creditors, but takes over the estate for administration.\nIn view of these facts, we decide, and decide only, that the Custodian has power to possess himself of these funds and to administer them. To hold otherwise would be incompatible with the federal program. The consequences, if any, that flow from the substitution of the Custodian in place of the Bank as holder of the funds, upon rights derived from valid state court judgments secured by attachment, are not ripe for determination. They may never come into controversy. All questions as to the petitioners' claims, judgments, or priorities are reserved for decision in the proceedings prescribed by statute.\nThe power of the United States to take and administer the fund is paramount. The judgment below must therefore be\n82 F.Supp. 740; 182 F.2d 349.\nTrading With the Enemy Act of 1917, 40 Stat. 411, as amended, \u00a7 5(b)(1), 55 Stat. 839.\nId., \u00a7 34(a), 60 Stat. 925.\nId. \u00a7 34(e), (f).",

A ribbon cutting ceremony that is open to the public will take place at the school on Saturday, January 21 at 9 a.m.\n\u201cWe are very excited about the potential this project has to bring the concepts of sustainable urban gardening to kids living in the less affluent side of St. Petersburg,\u201d said Kip Curtis, assistant professor of environmental studies at Eckerd College. \u201cStudents will help grow the food that will be used by the schools and by those in need. It also gives the community the amazing opportunity to come together to volunteer their time with this important project.\u201d\nThe Edible Peace Patch Project uses sustainable urban agriculture and healthy eating as the core activity in an effort to build social capital on the south side of St. Petersburg and forge a new kind of community. In partnership with Pinellas County Schools, the Florida Department of Agriculture and public and private institutions, the project works with at-risk youth, the homeless and local volunteers to develop a working community and school supported urban farm, schoolyard vegetable gardens and a sustainable food culinary training program. Farmed food is used by the schools, in wellness kitchens and by local non-profits that help feed the poor.\nAfter the ribbon cutting ceremony, volunteers and students will begin work on the project using the Hugelkultur method of gardening, an innovative and successful form of urban farming. Using this system, gardens are built on top of a raised beds filled with rotten wood. As the years pass, the deep soil of the raised garden bed becomes incredibly rich and loaded with soil life, self-tilling air pockets and require no irrigation.\nSince January 2009, the Edible Peace Patch Project has been developing innovative food systems and nutrition educational programs at Lakewood Elementary School, Eckerd College and in the Pinellas County community. The Peace Patch hopes to expand to other area schools and to provide food for schools and the surrounding community through an urban farm located in the city\u2019s Southside/Midtown region.

But an India-born Australian says end-of-life electronic products offer huge economic and job-generating potential, and India, which produces upward of two million tonnes of electronic waste every year, surely has an advantage.\nThe solution uncovering significant economic value in e-dumps is also in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u2019s \u201cSwachh Bharat\u201d and \u201cMake in India\u201d campaigns, said Veena Sahajwalla, materials scientist at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Sydney.\nMs Sahajwalla is the inventor of what she calls microfactories that can transform e-waste into reusable material to be converted into ceramics and plastic filaments for 3D printing. The high-grade metals \u2014 like gold, silver, copper, palladium \u2014 in the e-waste can be separated for re-sale in conditions that are totally safe.\nIndia has an advantage, she said. But how?\nAlso Read: In A First, This Book Aims To Teach Children The Right Way To Dispose Of Used Bulbs, Tube Lights And Batteries\nStreet scrap collectors, and the country has a huge number of them, can be employed, trained and introduced to the microfactories.\n\u201cIndia already has kabadiwallas (waste collectors) and scavengers working at the grassroots level, collecting and separating waste and that is the biggest advantage the country has.\nWhat we and the government need to do is give them the technology, deploy the (e-waste) microfactories and teach them how it works. What will happen is that, instead of burning that e-waste, these people will be working in a sustainable and safe environment without producing any kind of toxic waste, the Mumbai-born alumnus of IIT-Kanpur\u2019s metallurgical department told IANS.\n\u201cThis way,\u201d she said, \u201cwe are not displacing the kabadiwallas and scavengers. Instead, we can create more job opportunities.\u201d\nThe Director of the Centre for Sustainable Materials Research and Technology (SMaRT) at UNSW was in the capital to meet government officials to discuss her invention.\nThe recipient of the 2011 Pravasi Bharatiya Samman, the highest honour conferred on overseas Indians, for outstanding achievement in science among numerous other awards, proposed to deploy a microfactory in Delhi\u2019s Seelampur \u2014 the capital\u2019s digital graveyard with piles of discarded mobile phones and computers.\nAlso Read: Old Laptops, Phones Can Make You Money \u2013 Rajasthan Government To Buy E-Waste For Recycling Purposes\nPeople in this semi-urban pocket work with waste, including e-waste, to create value-added products like decorative glass panels, acoustic panels with throwaway cloth and high-grade wood-plastic panels. She said her invention \u201coffers a cost-effective solution to one of the greatest environmental challenges of our age\u201d.\nIt delivers new job opportunities\u2026 to our cities\u2026 to our rural areas, she said.\nShe said e-waste generally contains 40 per cent plastic which is usually burnt adding to air pollution.\n\u201cThere is no reason to burn plastic\u2026 microfactories can create filament with plastic by compressing the waste in a temperature-controlled area.\u201d\nShe also said her solution fitted in perfectly with Prime Minister Modi\u2019s mission \u201cMake in India\u201d and \u201cSwachh Bharat\u201d missions.\n\u201cA modular microfactory, which would require a 50 square metre area, can be located wherever waste is stockpiled. The science behind these factories would be brought in from Australia. These microfactories are affordable, can be built locally and will help empower the people working with waste.\nAlso Read: From Old To Gold: Tap Your Creative Side To Upcycle Your Used CDs\nIf you can create products by using e-waste and then sell the filaments (to) make value-added products using 3D printing, then we are not only making our environment more liveable, but we are also creating sustainable job opportunities for the people at the lowest level of the chain.\nTalking about the challenges that India might face, she said for the \u201cMake in India\u201d campaign to be successful, initial capital expenditure was important. \u201cA small operator will simply not have enough money to do something and, hence, if Prime Minister Modi is looking at the Make in India campaign, then finance and the initial capital expenditure is important.\u201d\nSo, what prompted her to do something about all the waste? She says that it was a visit to Seelampur last year that got her thinking about the inequity in our societies. \u201cIt was so sad to see people working under conditions that would be considered unacceptable to all of us.\n\u201cIt is difficult to digest how we are allowing everything that has got so much economic value in itself to not be processed in a way so there is equity. We love our phones and computers. But at the end of the spectrum, when all these technologies come to the end of their lives, we have people working under unacceptable conditions to get rid of it. It\u2019s almost ironic that there are two extreme ends of the best and the worst of technology.\u201d\nShe said it was UNSW\u2019s \u201cholistic approach to education\u201d that helped her seamlessly venture into different aspects of research to be able to invent the microfactory, launched at the varsity earlier this year. She said material science students from India, including doctoral and a postdoctoral students, were doing cutting-edge research at the UNSW.\nTagsE-WasteElectronic WasteRecycleWaste Management\nPrevious article Nearly 15,000 Premature Deaths Due To Air Pollution In Delhi: Study\nNext article Swachh Survekshan Grameen: Swachh Ranking For Villages Launched By Ministry Of Drinking Water And Sanitation",

Obviously I\u2019m happy for him, it\u2019s going to give him a lot of confidence for the next game and I\u2019m sure that we are going to need that.\n\u201cHe has the qualities. He sees his team-mates, he sees all the runs, he has quality on the ball. His passing, his left foot, he has all that you need on the pitch.\u201d\n\u2013 \u2018Aggressive\u2019 \u2013\nOzil\u2019s contract expires in 2018 and Walcott for one would be happy to see him sign a new Arsenal deal.\n\u201cHe\u2019s worked really hard, he\u2019s looking strong and fit,\u201d said Walcott. \u201cYou can see a new, more aggressive level about his play at the moment.\n\u201cHe\u2019s getting more ruthless in front of goal, he\u2019s chipping in with a lot more goals than he has, so hopefully it can continue.\u201d\nThe Middlesbrough game is again likely to come too soon for injured pair Aaron Ramsey (hamstring) and Olivier Giroud (toe) but they may target Tuesday\u2019s EFL Cup match with Reading for comebacks.\nMeanwhile Middlesbrough boss Aitor Karanka insists he will stick to his principles as he battles to end the northeast side\u2019s worst run of results since he took charge almost three years ago.\nThe Teessiders took five points from first three games on their return to the Premier League after a seven-year absence.\nBut Middlesbrough are winless in the last seven matches to leave them out of the bottom three on goal difference alone as they search their first away league win against the Gunners for more than 15 years.\n\u201cThis is the type of game we have been working towards over the past two years when we\u2019ve been in the Championship, because Arsenal are an amazing team,\u201d said Karanka, who revealed Grant Leadbitter has returned to full training as the club captain nears a comeback following hip surgery in May.\nThe Spaniard added: \u201cLast season, we were used to winning more games, but we knew this would be a tough season. It\u2019s important to maintain a positive mindset, because we need to keep believing in ourselves.\u201d\nKaranka has come under pressure from supporters to adopt a more adventurous two-striker policy at home, but will maintain his lone forward approach at the Emirates.\nAlvaro Negredo is set to retain his place up front, despite the pre-season loan signing from Valencia not having scored since the opening day draw at home to Stoke City in August.\nArsenal NewsArsene WengerFootballMiddlesbrough\nIt\u2019s doable but Arsenal mustn\u2019t get carried away by positive record over Middleboro.\nUp Gunners !!!",

        "raw_content": "I remember the day very clearly; we were at the pediatrician\u2019s office because one of my kids was sick. Our doctor came in and looked the child over and then proceeded to talk to me. \u201cMom,\u201d he said, and then told me what was wrong with my daughter. As we were getting ready to leave he again addressed me as \u201cMom\u201d. I stopped him and said, \u201cCan I ask you something?\u201d He said sure and so I asked, \u201cDo you know what my name is?\u201d He was taken aback. He blushed a little and said, \u201cNo, I don\u2019t. I\u2019m sorry.\u201d I smiled and told him, \u201cThe reason I ask is that we have been coming here for years and not once have you ever addressed me by my name. I am more than just a mom. When all anyone sees of me is a mom they miss out on so much of who I am. My name is Michelle.\u201d He looked embarrassed and apologized to me again. From that moment forward he has always addressed me as Michelle. I truly believe that my relationship with our doctor, whom 20 years later I consider a friend, is even better than it was before simply because he knows my name.\nWhile I never meant to embarrass him, it was important to me that he knows my name. I love being a mother and it is my primary vocation, I also know that I am more than just a mom. I think that most of us would agree that we want others to see us for who we really are and not just one aspect of our nature.\nChapter 5: The God Claim\nWhen I think about this chapter and about the story I just told, I think that Jesus felt the same way. He wanted, no He needed the people to see Him for who He truly was. He was more than just a great teacher, more than a prophet\u2026 He was God; the second Person of the Trinity. Everyone knew His name but they still didn\u2019t understand who He was. He was the Son of Man. His claim was shocking and would be blasphemous if it were not true.\nA couple words stuck out to me in this chapter- divinity and awestruck. If Christ was not lying, and of course I don\u2019t believe He was, then His divinity is amazing. When we see His power laid out within Scripture it\u2019s hard to wrap our minds around all the things He said and did. What would it have been like to see a paralytic man pick up his mat and walk away? What would it have been like to be in the boat with Jesus as He calmed the waters of the sea? What would it have been like to see Him raise a man from the dead? I have no doubt that I would be awestruck.\nAnother reason the word awestruck stuck out to me is that I think about how my children react when I come home after being gone for any amount of time. They are excited and joyful that I am home. They often rush out of the house to greet me at the car. It makes me think about Christ and how we should react to Him. Do I rush out of my house to greet Him at church? Do I readily jump out of bed to start my day so that I can dedicate all that I say and do to Him? Do I easily set aside time to pray? Most of the time, my answers to all of these would be no. Why? When I look at all Jesus said and did and I know who He truly is, why am I not awestruck enough to rush to greet Him and encounter Him in all I do? Shouldn\u2019t I be as joyful to see Him as my children are to see me?\nPoint to Ponder: Jesus is speaking directly to you in the Gospels.\nWhen someone speaks to us we want them to know our names. In our everyday lives we want them to address us personally. Christ does this in the Gospels and yet all too often we ignore Him. Perhaps we should be listening closer and we should take the time to hear what He is saying to us. He calls us by name and He speaks to us directly. He wants a relationship with us. Will we hear Him and respond?\nVerse to Live: \u201cI am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life.\u201d John 14:6\nIt\u2019s easy to get lost in this world. In a world that doesn\u2019t see who we truly are it\u2019s easy to feel dead inside. But Christ sees us and He knows our names. Like Lazarus he calls us to \u201cCome out!\u201d and he tells us that those who believe in Him will not die. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. We must live our lives following Him.\nQuestion to Consider: What\u2019s holding you back from believing in Jesus completely?\nI don\u2019t think that I have a problem believing in Jesus completely. Instead I have a problem with control and trust. I suppose I worry that Jesus won\u2019t see my needs and then they won\u2019t be taken care of in the manner that I think they should. I worry that giving over control and trusting completely that He will take care of me will bring me disappointment in the end when things do not go the way I hope they do. I think I worry about being forgotten\u2026 that He won\u2019t remember my name.\nYour Turn: How important is it to you that people see you for who you truly are? Have you encountered a time when you felt invisible? How can Jesus, Son of Man, help you to understand your true worth? What is holding you back from trusting in Jesus completely?\nPrayer: Lord Jesus, I trust in you.\nLord, I know you are the Way, the Truth, and the Life; help me to follow you even when it is difficult and I feel alone. I know you know my name Lord and you are always here with me; help me to know you better and to always praise your name.

        "raw_content": "A Seventeen-Year-Old Guy Killed His Own Grandfather, Took a Bath, Then, Turned Himself In\nThe guy got nagged a LOT too, translated\u2026\nA high school dropout, Lee is always up to no good, and his grandfather would often nag him about how he doesn\u2019t get a good job, that he only watched television all night long; yesterday early morning, while his grandfather was asleep, he used a knife, and stabbed his grandfather twenty-four times, and one of the stabs was on his grandfather\u2019s chest, and, the grandfather died right away.\nThe process of murdering his own grandfather in cold blood was caught by his grandmother, who stumbled out of the room, Lee had even consoled her, \u201cI\u2019ll call the cops later\u201d; then, he went into his bathroom, took a shower, changed his blood-stained clothes, then, placed the murder weapon on the altar, waited in the living room, for the cops to come.\nThe police investigated that the seventeen year old male was an adopted son, when he was just eight, he was adopted, at age four, his adopted mother passed away, his adopted father remarried, and lived in the city of Taichung. Lee was raised by his grandparents, behaved relatively well, but, in his last year of middle school, he became rebellious, and, after just one semester in high school, and he had started working odds and ends since, and when he ran out of money, he would ask his grandfather for it, and, they would fight often on that.\nTwo nights ago at around nine, Lee was watching television in the living room, and his grandfather nagged him, \u201call you know how to do is watch T.V. all night long\u201d. Lee waited until two thirty early yesterday morn, he took a kitchen knife, and hacked his grandfather on the head three times, the grandfather ran to his grandmother\u2019s room for help, and went to the living room for the phone to call the police, Lee ran back to the kitchen, took a fruit knife out, then, stabbed his grandfather in the chest, the grandfather fell immediately thereafter.\nThe police got a call from Lee, turning himself in, arrived there quickly, asked him, \u201cWhy you needed a shower after you killed?\u201d Lee said that he was covered with blood that it made him uncomfortable, the officers believed that he was trying to clean off the evidence, he said calmly and coldly, \u201cThere was still blood on the knife!\u201d\nThe neighbors said, that Lee\u2019s grandmother had spoiled him, would give him money all the time, and sometimes, when he and his grandfather had argued, she would often act as the mediator when the grandfather said he\u2019d called the cops on him.\nThe medical examiners did an check of the crime scene, and found the blood trial to be from the grandfather\u2019s bedroom, all the way to the living room, and to areas surrounding the front door, and all around the altar too, and there were blood stains on the walls. There were a total of twenty-four knife wounds on the grandfather, there are defensive wounds on his arms and hands; the medical examiners and the police believed that they were in a fight and a chase, and the two stabs in the chest had gone into the grandfather\u2019s heart, causing LOT of bleeding.\nThe technical high school instructor for Lee said, \u201cHe\u2019d often skipped classes, giving his grandparents head and heart ache.\u201d Lee was extraordinarily intelligent, making all around him helpless of the situation.\nThe Grandmother Bore Witness to the Murder, Wanted to Break the Fight Up, but, She Felt Powerless in Her Legs\nLee\u2019s first uncle said that his father and his nephew\u2019s relationship can be categorized by tension, and, it had been going on for two to three years already, his father is already eighty-one years old, he couldn\u2019t discipline him physically, so, he can only nag him; recently, his father had talked about how his grandson was too easily angered, and had heard his own father told that the grandson had gotten angry a lot, and would often claim, \u201cI\u2019ll finish those two elderly one day\u201d, without knowing that it actually came true.\nLee\u2019s grandmother told that actually her husband didn\u2019t say anything more to the grandson, it\u2019s just that the grandson would fall asleep with the television turned on, and he would often complained about how much electricity he was wasting. Last night, her husband saw the grandson was watching television once again, she wanted to ease the tension between them said to the grandchild, \u201cIf you help out with the farming, then we\u2019ll give you a salary too.\u201d\nWithout knowing that the husband rebutted her right away, \u201cHim, a farmer? That\u2019s impossible!\u201d, then, continued on nagging the grandson, \u201cwe need to cook your three meals, how can we manage to get extra money to give to you?\u201d, the air froze. Later, she and her husband headed off to bed, until in the middle of the night, she was awakened by his screams, her husband was covered with blood; she wanted to stop her grandson, but, her legs had become limp.\nLater, she moved out of the room slowly, saw her grandson with a knife, the husband claimed to call the cops, after he was finished with his sentence, the grandson had already stabbed the grandfather\u2019s chest, and, when she came to, her husband had fallen to the ground, and had stopped breathing. She cried, as she consoled her grandson to turn himself in, while she went into a haze, waiting for the cops to arrive.\nAnd so, this is, yet, ANOTHER case of how nagging would turn a man\u2019s mind, and, this 17 year old really cracked too, because his grandfather would nag him, NONSTOP, and, he is too intelligent for his own good as well.\nFiled under Miscelaneous\nTagged as Children Killing Grandparents, Getting Nagged, Murders\nYou Must Live Happily Ever After\u2026\nThis, I guess, would be the Queens\u2019 wish for her daughters, perhaps??? So, let\u2019s begin, shall we???\nSnow White\u2019s birth mother, before she died\u2026\nSnow, you MUST live happily ever after, and NOT leave your own child, the way I must leave you, you mustn\u2019t fall ill as I\u2019d done, and leave your own daughter all alone in this world, with NO love at all. You must live happily ever after, and marry that Prince Charming that woke you up out of that coma!!! You must live happily ever after, and enjoy the life I was meant to have, but never got the chance of living out, child.\nAnd now comes Beauty & the Beast\u2026\nYou must live happily ever after, Belle, because you\u2019d chosen to give yourself to the B-E-A-S-T, so your father would be saved, even though you felt NOTHING toward the beast, love will grow, I promise you, just give him time.\nYou must live happily ever after, for your father\u2019s sake, because if he knew how unhappy you were, being kept captive by the Beast, he would\u2019ve beaten himself up over letting you take his place. So, for your father\u2019s sakes, and your dead mother\u2019s too, you MUST live happily ever after, and know, that you will NEVER get to bury your own father after he\u2019d gone, because you\u2019d still be \u201cdoing time\u201d, for his sins, hunting on the Beast\u2019s properties.\nAnd, here\u2019s that COMATOSE princess\u2026\nYou must live happily ever after, even AS a vegetable, because you will NEVER be awakened again, NOT by Philip (that\u2019s the name of the prince, right???), like you\u2019d wished to, because he got DEVOURED by the dragon that was H-I-R-E-D (don\u2019t know by whom!!!), to keep you guarded and safe, and, nobody will EVER dare venture anywhere N-E-A-R your bed after that.\nYou must live happily ever after, even IF nobody ever comes to wake you back up, after a million years of slumber, and, because you\u2019re under that spell (by that last fairy godmother???), you will be FROZEN by time, and, your kinfolk, will fall asleep, alongside you, and, because you never got waken up again, neither will they. Look at it this way, at least, you will ALWAYS BE beside your parents, the king AND the queen, sleeping in a COMA in the same building, that way, none of you will EVER feel lonely.\nAnd, Rapunzel, who ACCIDENTALLY (yeah right!!!) cut her hair off, well, look at it this way, you\u2019re still HIGH up, above everything else (it\u2019s got a great view, you must admit!!!), and, nobody will EVER be able to climb to the HEIGHTS of your windows, and, you have EVERYTHING you\u2019ll EVER need, inside that small confine of your tower, so, you got NOTHING to worry about.\nYou MUST live happily ever after, and have the life that I\u2019d wanted for myself, but never had the chance of living out, because I met up with your father, darling daughter. You must live out the rest of your lives in my wildest fantasies, and, you MUST live the life that I had wanted for myself, because you are my baby, and, I am your mother, and, you MUST help me accomplish all the dreams I\u2019d dreamed up, but never had the chance of achieving, for whatever reasons there may be.\nAnd that, would be exactly H-O-W, a happily ever after became so FUCKING (oopsy!!!) heavy on the shoulders of ALL those aforementioned \u201cprincesses\u201d out there.\nTagged as Dreams imposed onto the children, Fairytales, mother's wishes for their daughters\nA Foster Care Parent Beat a Young Boy Until He Bruised All Over\nI know, STRICTER background CHECKS for those who apply to be foster parents, or better yet, put them on a probation period F-I-R-S-T, from the Newspapers online, translated\u2026\nA woman, Lee, was placed in charge of an almost one-year-old infant, she was suspected of having beaten the child up to the point that he bruised all over his body. The child became unconscious, and the district attorney\u2019s office is charging the woman with hurting the child.\nStarting on July 3 of this year, Lee was asked to take care of the not-yet-one year old little boy, and, she was suspected of abusing the child until he had multiple contusions on his body, multiple scratch marks, along with multiple bruises were found on the boy\u2019s body. On the afternoon of July 28, the child became unconscious, and so, Lee took him to the hospital. The hospital staff found multiple scars and bruises on him, and he had contracted pneumonia, they called the child services immediately.\nLee denied having hurt the child, claimed that the child had scratched himself up badly, and he wasn\u2019t showing signs of a cold, she wonders how the hospital staff could\u2019ve gotten the diagnosis of pneumonia.\nThe volunteer testified, that there were no visible bruises on the child\u2019s body at the time, when she visited with him on July 14th and July 21st.\nThe diagnoses from the hospitals stated that the child is not yet one, and he couldn\u2019t have reached behind his back that far, and managed to scratch himself that hard, nor could he have sprained his body with his body weight, that the scars and wounds are caused external forces.\nThe district attorney\u2019s office stated that Lee was the caretaker, and instead, she\u2019d become too violent toward the child, and denied her involvement, the prosecutor asked for a heavy sentence, as she was supposed to help take care of children, and instead, she\u2019d hurt them.\nSo, does anybody feel safe, leaving her/his kid with a nanny now? And, what happened to stricter background checks? Oh yeah, there isn\u2019t one, and it\u2019s still NOT like there are signs on the people\u2019s heads that tell you that they\u2019re dangerous, is there?

His wife was passive in the sense that she didn\u2019t try to stop her husband from abusing her child, the judge decided that she was the accomplice of her husband\u2019s violence, and, had sentenced her to three and a half year in prison.\nThe child is looked after by her father\u2019s sister now, the district court in Banciao ruled that the He\u2019s would have to pay over seven million dollars for the child\u2019s care.\nThe He\u2019s gave birth to twins, one boy and one girl back in October of 2004, they had taken their daughter to the wife\u2019s household to be looked after, didn\u2019t bring her home until January of 2009.\nThe couple hadn\u2019t been involved in the raising of the little girl, they didn\u2019t know her schedules; He was displeased at how his daughter would urinate on the couches or on the beds, and, he lost his temper, because she wouldn\u2019t learn, starting on January 25, 2009, he would use the dusting stick or his own bare hands, to spank the four-year-old child.\nThe young girl was beaten to the point where there were a TON of bruises that covered up her body, below her eyes, was internal bleeding, her limbs, the back, and her brain had shown signs of hemorrhage. He\u2019s wife would bathe the child every single day, although she\u2019d seen these multiple wounds on her, she never even bothered to care, and had never taken the young girl to the hospitals.\nAt two o\u2019clock on February 27, 2007, He\u2019s wife saw that her daughter had lost consciousness, called the ambulance, and took the child to the hospital in Linkou, but, the child had become a vegetable already, the child couldn\u2019t even sit up, move, and her cognitive skills level was that of a child who\u2019s only two to three months in age.\nHe denied having harmed his child intentionally, claiming that he was only disciplining her, and had never beaten the girl on her head, that she might have bumped her head while she ran around inside the house; He\u2019s wife testified, that her husband had a temper, and when he gets agitated, he\u2019d beaten people up, she had once applied medicine on her child, and begged her husband not to hit the child, and sometimes, she\u2019d end up getting beaten up too.\nThe doctor testified that the victim\u2019s head wound couldn\u2019t have been caused by one single instance, the judge thought that when He was beating up his child, he didn\u2019t control the strength he used, and didn\u2019t pay attention where he\u2019d hit her, causing the child to become damaged in the brains. As for He\u2019s wife, she feared that she\u2019d get beaten up herself, she did NOT actively protect her daughter, she is partially responsible too.\nBecause the mother feared getting beaten up, so, she got out of the way, protected HERSELF, that made her the ENABLER in this, and, there is a GOOD reason why your child, who\u2019s already \u201cpotty trained\u201d started wetting her/himself, something MUST be going on, to cause her/him to have bladder issue, and, instead of trying to get to the BOTTOM of the reasons, you resort to beaten her up, yeah, that\u2019s great parenting technique all right (That, was still S-A-R-C-A-S-M, those of you interested in knowing)\u2026\nFiled under Abandonment of Children, Early Exposures, Murder, Negligence Homicide, News Stories\nTagged as not standing up for one's own child, Standing by and watching\nA Man Was Charged for Sexually Molesting a Fifteen Year-Old Online\nOne more reason W-H-Y one should NEVER agree to meet up with someone s/he had met ONLINE, because, you don\u2019t know WHO you\u2019re dealing with when you\u2019d only had shared conversations, from the newspapers, translated\u2026\nA man, Liu, met a fifteen year old girl through a website, last year on November 23, when they had first met up, he took her to where he lived, and, over the next three months, he had raped her ten times, took photos of her naked, and, threatened her not to tell. The father of the young woman knew she was going out with him, but didn\u2019t know exactly what happened until the girl had a melt down on February 4th, and he called the cops. And, Liu is now faced with a five-year-one-month jail term for sexual molestation.\nThat just shows you how UNSAFE it would be, to meet up with someone you\u2019d only had a few \u201ccasual conversations\u201d with online, and this time, the young woman was still \u201ctaken\u201d, by the BIG BAD wolf, and it\u2019s already too late, because the girl had already been \u201cdamaged\u201d, and, there\u2019s NO turning that around, is there?

Lin showed absolutely NO sign of remorse, and that, was why the attorney asked the judge for such a harsh sentence.\nThe accusations pointed out that Lin (45 years of age) and Lee were a cohabiting couple, Lin had beaten Lee up long term, and threatened to kill her too, and so, Lee took out a restraining order, which Lin wasn\u2019t too happy about.\nIn order to get back at Lee, Lin drove to an elementary school and picked up Lee\u2019s son, and had the boy called his mother claiming, \u201cI hurt my leg, I\u2019ll walk home on my own.\u201d Lee heard her son\u2019s voice and he sounded strange to her, she thought that something wasn\u2019t right, but she just didn\u2019t know what.\nAfter Lin snatched the boy, while he was driving, he had hit the child on the head with a baseball bat, then, hit the boy\u2019s face with his own fist, causing the child to have damages on his head and face too; later, Lee called Lin and asked if he\u2019s seen her son, Lin falsely said that he could help her look, and, had called her back, falsely claiming, \u201cI seem to have seen him close to the school\u201d, \u201cI think he\u2019s somewhere near the entrance of the temple\u201d.\nAt seven that night, Lin texted Lee, saying that he\u2019s found her son. Lee begged him to return her child, Lee threatened, \u201cI have the child, you need to crawl on back to me\u201d, \u201cDon\u2019t call the cops, or, you will never see your son again\u201d; Lee worried that something might happened to her son, showed up to meet Lin, and called the cops when he wasn\u2019t paying attention, and the cops were able to catch Lin at around eleven o\u2019clock at night.\nSo, because your girlfriend had found someone new, because you would ABUSE her, so, you take it out on her son? Wow, that\u2019s really manly all right. Because the woman couldn\u2019t take the man\u2019s abuse of her anymore, she\u2019d called the domestic violence hotline, and, that pissed the man off, and, he took revenge on an innocent little boy, and, imagine what the little boy had gone through, and, it is still NOT the child\u2019s fault either.\nFiled under Abusing Someone's Trust, Bad Examples Parents Set for Children, Bad Parenting Behaviors, Early Exposures, Murdered by the Dates of Parents\nTagged as Hard Feelings after the breakup, taking the angers of one's breakup out on a child\nA Two-Year-Old Died, They Suspected that it Was the Nanny, Doing CPR Improperly, That Killed the Young Child\nApparently, they did NOT stress HOW to perform CPR when you got your nanny license here, there IS a difference between CPR in adults and children, after all, children have smaller frames, more delicate bodies, do you NOT know that??? From the Front Page Sections, translated\u2026\nA two year old baby girl two afternoons ago, died for no apparently reasons at her nanny\u2019s house, the medical examiners believed that the three suspicious wounds on her head wasn\u2019t enough to kill her, and they\u2019re NOT ruling out subdural hematoma, or the nanny doing CPR too hard that caused her to die, after the district attorney questioned the woman, they placed the woman on a one hundred thousand dollar bail for negligence.\nThe examiners found that there were finger-shaped bruises on the child\u2019s cheeks, and that there were bruises on both palms too, and there are three very suspicious wounds that seemed like something had hit her, but the coroners believed that the wounds are not enough to cause the child to die, believed that there was a bigger chance she\u2019d died of subdural hematoma.\nBased off of investigations, the nanny, Tseng has a valid certification, and had been taking care of children for multiple years, is responsible for two other children, and, other than the little girl that died, she had also taken on a 10-month old baby boy. The nanny told the police, that two days ago in the afternoon, she found the little girl limp, and showed difficulties breathing, she\u2019d performed CPR on her immediately, and as the ambulance took her to the hospital, she was still breathing, that she had died on the transfer away from the original hospital; she said that the wounds on top of the child\u2019s head, along with on the rest of her body was caused by playing in the parks, she\u2019d denied having abused the child.\nTseng, the nanny\u2019s husband told the police, that two afternoons ago around two after he\u2019d returned home from taking out the garbage, his wife told him that the child seemed \u201cweird\u201d, had difficulties breathing. His wife performed CPR right away, and he had rode them both to the city hospital nearby. The hospital claimed that the child was still breathing, with a pulse, suggested that they move her to a bigger hospital, but after they\u2019d taken her to another hospital, she was pronounced dead at four in the afternoon.\nThe district attorney, the police will examine the child\u2019s chest cavity, to hopefully figure out what had killed her, to understand if the nanny had pushed down too hard when she performed CPR, but the nanny claimed that she didn\u2019t remember the details of her, performing CPR for the little girl; the police will look into the matter, to see if negligence had occurred, in the process of trying to resuscitate her.\nAnd so, apparently, this would be another case of negligence, because there ARE different ways to performing CPR on adults versus on children. For children\u2019s bodies are more delicate, and so, instead of using the whole hand to do the compressions, you are only supposed to use two fingers to massage the region GENTLY, and I\u2019m betting that that, was what happened, that the nanny panicked and just PUSHED too hard.\nFiled under Negligence Homicide, News Stories, Social Awareness, Social Issues\nTagged as CPR trainings for nannies, Improper Resuscitations",

        "raw_content": "We all thought we had more time, and yet, final exams are here! Although it seems like an insurmountable amount of studying; in fact, you've been preparing all year. If you're not sure where to start, here are some handy tips and tricks for studying for final exams:\nSpread it out:\nThe best approach to studying is to do a little bit each day, with little breaks in between. You should study 20-50 minutes at a time, with little 5-10 minute breaks interspersed to give your brain a rest.\nDon't skip the gym:\nStudies actually show that just 20 minutes of cardio can improve retention! So figure out a cardio activity that you'll enjoy, and put it right in between some of your study sessions.\nFind a new place to learn:\nThe New York Times actually showed that students who vary their study locations actually retained more than those who stayed in only one location during studying! So studying a little at home, a little at Starbucks, and a little at the library, might actually be your best route to success.\nMinimize distractions (that means turn OFF your phone)\nStudents who are texting, watching Netflix, or listening to certain kinds of music while studying actually retain less than those who don't. If you're one who MUST listen to music while studying, consider trying instrumental versions, available for free on Pandora.\nEat while you work:\nUnfortunately, pizza and candy aren't advised. \"Brain food\" is considered to be fish, nuts, seeds, yogurt, and blueberries. Eat some healthy snacks, and you'll retain more of what you study!\nUse the study guide:\nTeachers will frequently make their study guides by looking directly at the final exams, so the best chance for an A is to look over the exam material your teacher gave you! Don't forget to review all of the class materials from the previous months.\nAs tempting as it is to swing that all-nighter, studies show that getting a good night's sleep can aid in doing way better on your exams! Don't just get more sleep the night before, but focus on maintaining good sleep for the week leading up to your finals. It'll pay off in the gradebook.",

        "raw_content": "Home News If Someone is Erasing Or Deleting Their Text Messages, is it a...\nIf Someone is Erasing Or Deleting Their Text Messages, is it a Sign of Cheating?\nI often hear from people who can\u2019t help but notice that their husband, wife, boyfriend, or girlfriend has been increasingly sending and receiving text messages. However, when they go to check up on those texts, they\u2019ve often been deleted or erased.\nI often hear comments like: \u201cmy husband will go and try to find privacy when he\u2019s texting. I\u2019ll see he has a mischievous and excited look on his face and I get a feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach. But, when I get a hold of the phone later to see who he\u2019s been texting and what he\u2019s been saying, I find that he\u2019s deleted his entire history. He also does not like to part with the phone and mostly keeps it on him at all times. What is going on? Should I be concerned that he\u2019s cheating on me and using his cell phone to do it?\u201d\nThese concerns are most definitely valid. Statistics show that it\u2019s increasingly common for people to get caught cheating from their cell phones. And, it\u2019s very tempting for cheaters to sending playful and flirtatious texts to someone who you are cheating with. Plus, the cheater often thinks that all they have to do is hit the delete button to erase all evidence of wrongdoing. (This assumption can be just plain wrong.)\nIf you confront your loved one about the deleted texts, they\u2019ll often tell you that they were trying to save memory on their phone or that it\u2019s just their habit not to let their messages clutter up their phone. And, I suppose there are cases where this is a valid excuse. But, it will often help to look at how soon after the message\u2019s use that they are actually deleting it. It\u2019s less problematic if they let the message sit there for days or weeks before they get around to erasing it. But, if they\u2019re erasing immediately after it\u2019s sent or received, then this becomes a good bit more suspicious.\nIf your loved one is even reasonably tech savvy (and they likely are if they\u2019re constantly messaging,) then they likely know that they can easily set their phone to automatically delete old messages after a specified period of time so that having to go in and manually do this is really over kill.\nWhat To Do When Your Loved One Is Constantly Deleting Their Texts: As I see it, you have a few choices here. You can ask or confront them about this, but I have to tell you that an extremely large majority of cheaters will firmly deny any wrong doing. You can ask yourself if there are any places where you\u2019re seeing odd behaviors (like at the computer) and then try to follow up and check those places. You can also check the call log, photos, and sent emails. There is software that allows you to go back in and read the texts and only you can decide if you want to take this that far.\nI think it often comes down to the other behaviors that surround the messaging and whether or not you believe that this is all innocent or not. And, if you\u2019ve found this article, I suspect that you might feel like there is more to this than saving phone memory. Sometimes this isn\u2019t the case, but many times, it is.\nPrevious articleThis Is Another Reason Why a Valet Service Requires Insurance\nNext articleCar Accident Attorney",

        "raw_content": "Many anglers enjoy fishing in Illinois waters. They also enjoy eating their catch. Most fish are healthy to eat and provide an excellent source of low-fat protein. Eating fish may also reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes and other chronic illnesses.\nBut any fish (store-bought or sport-caught) could contain contaminants that can harm human health. The Illinois EPA working jointly with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources routinely monitor water quality and fish flesh contamination in our lakes and streams and the Illinois Fish Contaminant Monitoring Program screens fish tissue for potential problems. Just as in the rest of the nation, certain fish in and around Illinois contain levels of contaminants that may pose a risk to human health. Based upon the results of IEPA tissue testing, the Illinois Department of Public Health issues fish consumption advisories for those fish, telling people to either limit consumption or avoid eating those kinds of fish. The advisories are based primarily on protecting sensitive populations, most particularly women who are pregnant, nursing, or of childbearing age; fetuses; and children younger than 15 years of age. All advisories may be overprotective for women beyond childbearing age and males 15 years of age and older.\nYou can get information about the exact location and cause of current fish consumption advisories here.\nPrinter-friendly version of the advisory here.",

        "raw_content": "USA Gymnastics Claims Ignorance as a Defense in Aly Raisman\u2019s Sexual Abuse Lawsuit\nUSA Gymnastics is demanding to be let out of Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman\u2019s lawsuit \u2014 accusing them of conspiring to cover up the sexual abuse by Dr. Nassar \u2014 by arguing they were ignorant of his decades of abuse of hundreds of athletes.\nRaisman sued the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) and USA Gymnastics (USAG) over the repeated sexual abuse she suffered at the hands of Dr. Nassar, who was sentenced to 60 years in prison after pleading guilty to criminal sexual conduct and child pornography.\nOn September 6, USA Gymnastics filed court docs responding to Raisman\u2019s lawsuit.\nUSAG says there is no question that Nassar inflicted physical and emotional pain on Raisman and describe her as having \u201ctremendous strength and courage\u201d in response to Nassar\u2019s actions.\nHowever, USAG argues that California law is very clear and only the perpetrator can be held liable for sexual harassment claims. They claim Raisman failed to point out any specific evidence that USAG officials had prior knowledge of Nassar\u2019s abuse.\nAly Raisman accused USAG of failing to train and supervise staff to report and stop inappropriate sexual misconduct and for allegedly conspiring with Nassar to hide his sexual abuses.\nUSAG says, \u201cIgnorance without a reason to be suspicious is not a legal basis for ratification.\u201d\nThey are demanding the entire case against them be dismissed.\nAs The Blast first reported, the United States Olympic Committee has also denied wrongdoing and sought to dismiss Raisman\u2019s case as well.",

        "raw_content": "August 17, 2018 ~ rogerpielkejr\t~ 1 Comment\nAugust 9, 2018 ~ rogerpielkejr\t~ 6 Comments\nJuly 1, 2018 ~ rogerpielkejr\t~ 5 Comments\nJune 3, 2018 June 3, 2018 ~ rogerpielkejr\t~ 11 Comments\nMay 1, 2018 ~ rogerpielkejr\t~ 12 Comments\nWelcome to issue #10 of my occasional newsletter on climate and energy issues. As a reminder, my day-to-day research or writing is focused on sports governance and various issues of science policy. But I\u2019ve written a fair bit on the topics of climate and energy over the past 25 years, including two recent books and a boatload of academic papers, and I\u2019m paying attention.\nContributions are much appreciated.\nTalk on \u201cExtreme Weather and Extreme Politics\u201d\nEarlier this month I gave a talk at the University of Minnesota.\nIt was my first public talk on climate since being \u201cinvestigated\u201d by Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-AZ) in 2015.\nIt is also the first and only invitation I\u2019ve received to give a public talk on climate at a US university since 2015.\nBefore that I received about 2-3 invitations per month.\nDelegitimization works.\nYou can see my slides from Minnesota at\nMuch of what I presented (and more) will appear in the 2nd edition of Disasters and Climate Change.\nBelow I document a key episode in my own experience that I have never looked back on in detail.\nThe timeline is of use to me, shared here for anyone else who might be interested.\nA Look Back at the Holdren-Pielke Debate of 2014\nOne of the more bizarre experiences I\u2019ve had in the climate debate was when President Obama\u2019s science advisor, John Holdren, posted a weird, 6-page screed about me on the White House web site.\nHere is a reconstruction of and look back at those events, and an evaluation how they look from vantage point of 2018.\nThis look back is mainly just for me, as when you are in the spin cycle it can be hard to see what has happened at the time.\nThe Holdren episode ultimately led to me being investigated by a member of Congress with a major impact on my life and career.\nI\u2019ve not taken a close look back at this episode, it\u2019s time for me to document exactly what transpired. If you are not interested, this would be a good place to take the exit ramp.\nIn July 2013, I testified before the US Senate Environment and Public Works Committee on extreme events.\nYou can see my 5 minute statement below and read my full written testimony here in PDF. That testimony was widely discussed.\nI followed that testimony up with similar testimony before the US House a few months later, in October 2013.\nI wrote a blog post explaining that the science on these issues was solid. Even so I argued that \u201czombie science\u201d (to the contrary) would always be with us.\nOn February 14, 2014, Holdren was quoted as saying: \u201cWe really understand a number of the reasons that global climate change is increasing the intensity and the frequency and the life of drought in drought-prone regions. This is one of the better-understood dimensions of the relationship between global climate change and extreme weather in particular regions. . . There are other, more subtle, ways climate change may be affecting the prevalence of drought; scientists are still arguing about those. The three I just described are more than enough to understand why we are seeing droughts in drought-prone regions becoming more frequent, more severe and longer.\u201d\nTwo weeks later Dr. Holdren was asked about these statements by Senator Jeff Sessions before the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, the same committee that I had testified before the previous July.\nThe full exchange between Sessions and Holdren can be found here, but below are the key excerpts.\nAfter some sparring on what Dr. Holdren said or didn\u2019t say a few week previous, Senator Sessions said:\n\u201cWell, let me tell you what Dr. Pilkey (sic) said, who sat in that chair you are sitting in today just a few months ago, he is a climate impact expert, and he agrees that warming is partly caused by human emissions. But he testified \u201cIt is misleading and just plain incorrect to claim that disasters associated with hurricanes, tornadoes, floods or droughts have increased on climate change time scales either in the United States or globally.\u201d\nHoldren replied with a delegitmization effort, saying that I was\n\u201cnot representative of the mainstream scientific opinion on this point. And again, I will be happy to submit for the record recent articles from Nature, Nature GeoScience, Nature Climate Change, Science and others showing that in drought-prone regions droughts are becoming more intense.\u201d\nOf course, Holdren was incorrect.\nMy views are 100% consistent with those of the IPCC, the very definition of \u201cmainstream scientific opinion.\u201d\nHoldren promised to submit scientific evidence for the hearing record in support of his views, Sessions said he looked forward to it.\nThree days later Holdren\u2019s missive about me was posted on the White House website, titled Drought and Global Climate Change: An Analysis of Statements by Roger Pielke Jr \u201d (here in PDF).\nHoldren singled out just 2 statements that I had made in my testimony:\n\u201cIt is misleading, and just plain incorrect, to claim that disasters associated with hurricanes, tornadoes, floods or droughts have increased on climate timescales either in the United States or globally.\u201d\nDrought has \u201cfor the most part, become shorter, less, frequent, and cover a smaller portion of the U.S. over the last century\u201d. Globally, \u201cthere has been little change in drought over the past 60 years.\u201d\nThe quotes in blue above are from the US National Climate Assessment (former) and a Nature paper (latter) on global drought trends.\nHoldren explained his objections:\n\u201cI replied that the indicated comments by Dr. Pielke \u2026 were not representative of mainstream views on this topic in the climate-science community; and I promised to provide for the record a more complete response with relevant scientific references. \u201c\nThe slide below shows the entirety of my discussion of drought in my 2013 Senate testimony, which consisted only of quotes from the IPCC, the US CCSP and an image from the CCSP report.\nHoldren did not mention hurricanes, floods or tornadoes in his 6 pages of response.\nHoldren\u2019s response blew up the internet (or at least the tiny part of it involving issues related to climate).\nWhen the White House posts 6 pages about you, it gets noticed.\nFor my part, in response wrote a blog response which you can read here.\nIn that post I noted:\n\u201cIt is fine for experts to openly disagree. But when a political appointee uses his position not just to disagree on science or policy but to seek to delegitimize a colleague, he has gone too far.\u201d\nThis was, as far as I am aware, the first time that a Science Advisor to the US President used his platform to seek to delegitimize an academic with whom he disagreed.\nI am aware of no such comparable use of the authority and reach of the White House against a researcher.\nThe fact that I was singled out by the president\u2019s science advisor was not reported on or commented on by the mainstream scientific media. Leading scientific organizations said nothing.\nI found this pretty amazing, but c\u2019est la vie.\nIf John Marburger, say, had gone after James Hansen, it\u2019d have been a story.\nI responded more forcefully in an article in The New Republic a few days later.\nNone of this mattered, I quickly learned that a lone academic is no match for the bully pulpit that is the White House and the powerful echo chamber of the online climate debate.\nA few weeks later the campaign to have me removed as a writer for 538 was underway and 11 months later the investigation motivated by Rep. Raul Grijlava (D-AZ), which he indicated was the result of Holdren\u2019s missive, was launched.\nOne of my close colleagues said to me at the time: \u201cI\u2019d love to come to your defense, but I don\u2019t want them coming after me.\u201d\nLet\u2019s quickly take a look at the state of the science in 2018 on drought.\nThe 2017 US National Climate Assessment, prepared under the direction of John Holdren in the last months of the Obama Administration and released after Donald Trump became president concluded the following about drought:\n\u201cdrought statistics over the entire CONUS have declined \u2026 no detectable change in meteorological drought at the global scale\u201d\n\u201cWestern North America was noted as a region where determining if observed recent droughts were unusual compared to natural variability was particularly difficult.\u201d\nCAP Backs Down When Challenged\nApril 5, 2018 ~ rogerpielkejr\t~ 14 Comments\nJudd Legum is an editor for the Center for American Progress, where he oversees their \u201cClimate Progress\u201d blog. Over the years, in his role as editor he oversaw or wrote some 160+ articles about me on their pages, misrepresenting my research and political views. After I wrote an article for Natre Silver at 538 in 2014, he called up Silver (and Silver\u2019s lead editor) to demand I be fired. In 2016, the Wikileaks releases revealed Legum was misrepresenting my work as part of a political campaign on behalf of billionaire Tom Steyer. But that embarrassment hasn\u2019t kept Legum away, just yesterday he again took to Twitter to misrepresent my academic work. It\u2019s always the same playbook.\nI\u2019ve had enough of CAP and their lies, misrepresentations and character assassination. So yesterday I challenged Legum to back up his Twitter and Wikileaks bravado in a public debate with me. If my work has been \u201ccomprehensively debunked\u201d by CAP and is the work of \u201cdeniers\u201d then he should be able to destroy me in a public forum, giving a powerful lesson to anyone foolish enough to challenge him.\nHere is how Legum responded in declining the opportunity to debate the subject of my 538 article that has had him so worked up over these past four years:\nI think on the topic, the idea of what\u2019s driving the costs of disasters is a technical topic that would not create a compelling public debate. The arguments all hinge on data analysis that would be boring and no readily comprehensible for a general debate.\nSay what? A \u201ctechnical topic\u201d? And \u201cnot readily comprehensible\u201d? So much for the Wikileaks bravado about debunking my work and all that.\nMore generally Legum responded:\nI\u2019m not sure you actually stake out any such positions that I disagree with.\nThis is a remarkable admission from the guy at the Center for American Progress who has overseen a decade-long effort to destroy my academic career through social media bullying, behind the scenes politicking and the spreading of outright lies. It also shows what happens when bullies are challenged but can\u2019t back it up. They back down and slink away.\nPublic Debate Challenge to Judd Legum\nApril 5, 2018 April 5, 2018 ~ rogerpielkejr\t~ 8 Comments\nPeople are funny. Judd Legum is a die-hard partisan who works for the Center for American Progress. For some reason, four years ago he decided to use his position to (successfully) get me removed as a writer for 538. You all know the story.\nWell Judd is back to harass. Apparently more than 160 articles about me at CAP were not enough.\nWell, I\u2019ve long had enough abuse and bullying from these guys. So Judd, rather than you sniping at me on Twitter with lies and innuendo, let\u2019s do this in person and for real. Let\u2019s debate the issues that you profess to care so deeply about, and that I am so wrong about, in a public forum. Should be an easy win for you.\nOK@juddlegum of the Center for American Progress persists with an aging smear campaign against me.\nI challenge him to a public debate on climate science & policy.\nPlease spread this far and wide.\nLet\u2019s see if he can back up his Wikileaks\ud83d\ude4f\nI\u2019m ready Judd. https://t.co/c72XwXm1ho\n\u2014 Roger Pielke Jr. (@RogerPielkeJr) April 5, 2018\nI have no doubt we can use the event to raise money for important charities. Mine will be Doctors Without Borders.\nJudd, whenever convenient, I\u2019ll come to you. You can come here. Whatever.\nWhat do you say? You got some substance behind the Wikileaks and Twitter bravado?\nIt\u2019s guaranteed he will decline the offer. And that will tell you all you need to know.",

        "raw_content": "'Tobacco users decline significantly in eight years'\nTobacco users have declined significantly in Bangladesh in the last eight years amid signs that anti-tobacco measures yielded benefits, according to a new survey.\nHealth Minister Mohammed Nasim revealed the information citing a factsheet of the Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS) 2017, reports bdnews24.com.\nThe survey was conducted by the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics with the support of the World Health Organisation and the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention of the US.\nIt showed that the consumption rate among the population aged 15 and above have dropped to 35.3 per cent in 2017 from 43.3 per cent in 2009 when the first GATS was done.\nThe reduction was mostly among the men -- 46 per cent down from 58 per cent.\nAmong women, it was reduced to only 25.2 per cent from 28.7 per cent as the smokeless tobacco which women mostly chew did not decrease, compared to smoking products.\nExperts, however, warned against complacency as there are examples in the world that tobacco consumption rose after an initial decline. Japan Tobacco\u2019s entry to Bangladesh also worries them.",

        "raw_content": "Why is Trump wasting the chance to hype State of the Union speech?\nBy Anneke E. Green, opinion contributor \u2014 01/29/18 02:15 PM EST\nAll eyes will be focused on President Donald Trump Donald John TrumpBill Kristol resurfaces video of Pence calling Obama executive action on immigration a 'profound mistake' ACLU says planned national emergency declaration is 'clear abuse of presidential power' O'Rourke says he'd 'absolutely' take down border wall near El Paso if he could MORE Tuesday night as he delivers his first State of the Union address to Congress. Given this uniquely captive audience, the chief executive, and the White House by extension, has been notably quiet about it. Trump\u2019s Twitter feed shows no mention of the upcoming event. Few leaks about the speech have made their way into mainstream reporting, whether about what the president is doing to prepare and practice (rehearsals with President George W. Bush were in the Family Theater in the East Wing) or the content itself. It seems a missed opportunity to build buzz.\nA senior administration official gave a background briefing to the press pool on Friday, but said relatively little about the speech despite taking more than 35 questions from reporters. Indeed, a different senior administration official warned the press corps at the start that there would be little detail on process or policy items in order to avoid getting \u201cahead of the president\u2019s speech.\u201d So much for teaser trailers.\nA reporter asked if the president would call on Congress for passage of specific bills. The answer was hardly specific. \u201cLike many State of the Unions, there will be call-outs to Congress for action, sure,\u201d said a senior administration official.\nThe next reporter tried a different tack, acknowledging that while the process was something the briefing officials said they didn\u2019t want to discuss, noting that last year the White House told the press that Trump was working on his Joint Address to Congress at Mar-a-Lago. Was there, the scribe inquired, any color that he could give, such as when they started working on the speech?\n\u201cThe State of the Union has been thought about for many weeks,\u201d the official replied. \u201cAs far as the process, all I\u2019d say about the process is the process begins and ends with the president.\u201d\nA third reporter asked the million dollar question: \u201cWhy the reluctance to speak about the process? Can you get into specifics about who is contributing?\u201d\nThe reply was nearly nonsensical. \u201cBecause that's an internal deliberations that weigh on \u2014 you know we don't want to go into talking about the process because it's a never-ending set of questions,\u201d the official replied.\nJonathan Turley: Boycotting the State of the Union only divides our country further\nCharlie Gerow: Despite the tumult, the state of the union is pretty darn good\nShelley Poticha: Infrastructure: A chance to build on America\u2019s promise\nWhat the briefers did want known is that the theme of the speech is \u201cBuilding a safe, strong and proud America,\u201d there are five main issues that Trump will address: jobs and the economy, infrastructure, immigration, trade and national security, and the president will be talking about his \u201crecord-setting accomplishments.\u201d And that\u2019s basically it.\nThe White House chased the scant briefing with a surrogates call that had originally been slated for 11 am Friday \u2014 before the press briefing \u2014 but that morning was rescheduled for 1:30 pm on Saturday, half an hour before the embargo expired on the previous day\u2019s event.\nThe call was reportedly no more informative, with listeners denied even the opportunity to ask questions.\nIt lasted about 10 minutes, the succinctness of which brought into stronger distinction how little information was on offer. It sounded more like a midcentury radio advertisement than an actual briefing, or even preview, as it was touted. If the State of the Union address were a product for sale, listeners were assured it was going to be \u201cunfiltered,\u201d \u201coptimistic but also unifying,\u201d guaranteed to \u201cshow the president cares about all Americans.\u201d Trump will \u201cspeak from the heart\u201d and \u201cunite us in patriotism. The speech will \u201calign people, surprise people\u201d and remind them of all he\u2019s accomplished in the first year. The theme and five issue sets were covered as well.\nMore information is expected to come out Monday. It may have been better for the White House to maintain total silence if it was truly so unwilling to mete out the colorful tidbits about the speechwriting process that the public enjoys. Trump will likely do very well on Tuesday, as he did in last February\u2019s joint address to Congress, in which case these parsimonious briefings will not have accomplished much.\nAnneke E.

All these people are now living in small groups in obscure corners of the area. The state government\u2019s farce building exercise is visibly successful. People were also evacuated from Idgah, Kandhla camp in Shamli district, now settled on the periphery of the jungles in small groups. Nearly 2500 people were evacuated from Kandhla camp. On speaking to the riot victims, they informed us that they have now shifted their tents to the jungle behind the mosque. Ironically, they are being made to shift under the pretext of \u2018protecting them from the cold\u2019. Moreover, a bulk of the people living in this Idgah relief camp are from villages like Bhaju, Nala, Bhora Kala and Lissad. The first three villages also witnessed violence and houses being burnt down but in spite of that, their names aren\u2019t listed in the \u2018affected\u2019 villages.

Lecrae released Rehab this week and my twitter feed has been full of people saying it\u2019s a great record and it did well on iTunes (#3) so I picked it up.\nI have mixed feelings on Rehab and part of that is my hip-hop likes. As far as MCs go, Lecrae is one of the best new voices in christian hip-hop. His rhymes are solid and his delivery is nice. Production wise is where the album and me have issues. Half the beats are nice and really enjoyable. A couple of great head bobbers. But then you get too many modern, cheap sounding beats. I can\u2019t say too much autotune because any autotune is too much and there is some on Rehab.\nThe album is just too modern for me and it\u2019s not catchy enough. While I really like Children of Light (ft Sonny Sandavol), Just Like You, and Gotta Know, the rest of the album falls short. It\u2019s not my style of hip-hop.

        "raw_content": "Therapeutic School for Children with Oppositional Defiance\nPinnacle programs are designed to address Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) in students. A teen diagnosed with ODD has exhibited behavior that has led to significant problems in school and social activities.\nOppositional behavior is common among teenagers as they begin to grow independent of their parents. But when hostile and defiant behaviors toward authority figures are frequent and become a serious risk to the child's well being, parents must take appropriate action. Often removing the child from negative peers will reduce some of the hostility. Teachers at The Pinnacle Schools are trained to work with children diagnosed with ODD.\nSome studies have shown that it affects 20% of school-age children. This behavior typically starts by age 8, but it may start as early as the preschool years. This disorder is thought to be caused by a combination of biological, psychological, and social factors.\nDoes not follow adults' requests\nAngry and resentful of others\nConsistently blames others for own mistakes\nHas few or no friends or has lost friends\nIs in constant trouble in school\nIs spiteful\nSeeks revenge\nTo fit this diagnosis, the pattern must last for at least six months and must be more than normal childhood misbehavior. The pattern of behaviors must be different from those of other children around the same age and developmental level.\nIf after a period of time at The Pinnacle Schools or Pinnacle Private Academy a student makes little or no improvement in negative behaviors, parents may opt for a higher level of care at our residential program, Elk River Treatment Program (ERTP), where outside influences are removed and a more intense treatment plan can be developed and implemented.\nUpon admission at ERTP, children are evaluated by a child and adolescent forensic psychiatrist and an individualized treatment plan is developed to meet the needs of the child. Family members must also participate in therapy while their child is in treatment at ERTP. Weekly family therapy sessions are held with the child's primary therapist and at least one family workshop must be attended while the child is in treatment. Caregivers learn to be consistent about rules and consequences, set clear boundaries and model the right behaviors for the child.\nAfter successfully completing the therapeutic program at Elk River, students often return to Pinnacle Private Academy to finish the semester or graduate from high school. They may also choose to transfer to their public school.",

        "title": "Kushner Trump | New Condo Market NYC | Paul Massey",
        "raw_content": "Paydirt: EB-5 was Kushner\u2019s kryptonite\nThe industry news you need to know to start your week, and what\u2019s ahead\nBy Hiten Samtani | May 30, 2017 09:15AM\nClockwise from top left: Jared Kushner, Donald Trump (credit: Getty Images), a condo offering plan and Paul Massey (photo illustration by Lexi Pilgrim)\nIt took a real estate gaffe for the developer-in-chief to finally sour on his princeling.\nJared Kushner , dubbed \u201cThe Secretary of Everything\u201d for his vast and amorphous White House task list, got himself in trouble with President Trump over a stunt Kushner Companies and its associates pulled earlier this month with One Journal Square, according to a new report in the New York Times. The offense? Invoking Trump\u2019s name and Jared\u2019s influence over him to entice Chinese investors into bankrolling the Jersey City project through the EB-5 program.\nTrump was livid, according to the newspaper, and made his annoyance clear during meetings in the West Wing. The backlash from the One Journal Square episode, coupled with the heat from the Comey firing (which Jared supported) and the bombshell last week that Jared tried to set up a back-channel with the Russians, has somewhat eroded Jared\u2019s aura of invulnerability at the White House. Every six months, he will review whether to return to \u201cprivate life in New York,\u201d according to the Times. A life, presumably, that would include a role at Kushner Companies.\nBut let\u2019s play a thought experiment and assume Jared makes a premature and less-than-triumphant return to New York real estate by Christmas. Does he come back a darling, with peers here seeing him as the closest thing to an Oval Office hotline? Or does he become a pariah, someone who hitched his wagon to Trump\u2019s, offending many in the process, but couldn\u2019t achieve much of note in his brief tenure?\n\u201cYou mess with the skunk, you get the stink,\u201d one New York political insider told TRD\u2019s Kathy Clarke in September. \u201cAnd the Trump stink is lasting.\u201d That was, of course, before Trump\u2019s election triumph, and since then many of the industry\u2019s top dogs have fallen in line, at least publicly, with POTUS. It\u2019s more likely that if Jared returns, he gets right back into business. And though it\u2019s not quite tackling Middle East peace or \u201cmaking government more efficient,\u201d he\u2019ll have an empire to keep him busy.\nHow the posh have fallen: In two years, the average asking price of a new development condo in Manhattan has fallen nearly $2 million, according to TRD\u2019s analysis of new condo plans filed with the AG. In the first quarter, a new unit coming to market was asking $3.1 million on average, continuing a downward trend from a dizzying average price of nearly $5 million in 2015.\n\u201cThere\u2019s no forgiveness for overpriced apartments in this market,\u201d Corcoran\u2019s Pam Liebman said at TRD\u2019s forum earlier this month.\nDevelopers are building smaller and less glitzy, focusing on moving product rather than trying to hold out for high-end buyers. Consider that the average sales price of a Manhattan condo last year was $2.2 million, and the move seems likely to open up the new construction market to a wider pool of buyers.\nMassey revives 421a: Many in the real estate community see Mayor de Blasio as some hybrid of a gadfly and a train wreck, and never miss a moment to take a crack at him. (For some of the more memorable zingers, check out TRD\u2019s developer panel from earlier this month.) Hizzoner\u2019s smorgasbord of scandals and seeming inability to stand behind his people make him an easy target, and his main rival in the upcoming election, Paul Massey, has certainly capitalized on this. So far, the Cushman exec\u2019s talking points have largely consisted of creative potshots at the mayor \u2014 my favorite being (D-Corruption) \u2014 and promises that he\u2019d do better. But last week, Massey made a major blunder of his own, one that is particularly embarrassing for a real estate man. He vowed on Twitter to restore the 421a tax credit. This was repeated on his campaign website, where he pledged he would \u201con day one, reach out to the Governor and Legislature to restore the 421a tax credit for New York City so that we can start building housing again.\u201d\nProblem is, 421a has been back since April, and in a very public way. Massey\u2019s team tried to do some damage control, saying that his tweet meant to convey that he wants to revive the tax break for more than five years and cut a deal that is better for the outer boroughs. After TRD\u2019s story, the language on his website was updated to \u201cimprove and extend.\u201d But the spin and clean-up doesn\u2019t erase the underlying issue: Paul Massey, a universally liked and respected figure in the industry, doesn\u2019t have a substantial policy platform and has struggled with messaging.

        "raw_content": "Simpson College's softball team traveled to Cuba over winter break, where they did volunteer work and faced off against a Cuban softball team. Courtesy of Simpson Softball\nby Belle Ward, Feature Editor\nThe Simpson College softball team experienced games, service, and gratitude during the winter break trip to Cuba. The 32 players spent a week in the Caribbean island with their family members, making a group of 70 people.\n\u201cWe had three goals on the trip,\u201d said Head Coach Brent Matthias. \u201cThe No. 1 was cultural immersion, the second one was service and then the third goal was team building.\u201d\nSince softball players may not have the ability to travel while in college, because the softball season takes place during the summer, Matthias appreciated giving the team the chance to travel abroad during a break.\n\u201cI really think learning outside of the classroom is an opportunity for our students to grow,\u201d the coach said.\nThe team faced a culture shock when arriving in Cuba, as the opposing team shared gloves and often only had two bats for the players to use.\n\u201cWe realized there was more to this trip than just going to play softball,\u201d Matthias said.\nThe team also volunteered while in Cuba, which included weeding an organic lettuce farm. This service project helped the team bond and collaborate with one another.\n\u201cHow do you tackle any challenge? One weed at a time,\u201d Matthias said.\nHe said the Cubans the group interacted with were genuine and thoughtful and caused the team to think more about their interactions with others.\n\u201cSome of the same things, even though we were in Havana, Cuba, related to Simpson College and our mission,\u201d Matthias said. \u201cHelping others grow, being there for each other, and what that looks like maybe in another country.\u201d\nMatthias said softball is beginning to grow in popularity in Cuba, making the Simpson softball team\u2019s visit even more significant.\n\u201cWe\u2019re the very first women\u2019s softball team in Havana to play on a goodwill tour,\u201d Matthias said.\nThe Cuban team gave the Simpson players a vase to establish friendship between the teams.\n\u201cWe\u2019re very excited to get that in our trophy case to show people,\u201d he said.\nMatthias hopes through participation in the sport and experiences like this trip will help the players become leaders.\n\u201cThe way to do that is for them to see different cultures, different ways of life, so they can absorb them all and then make their own decisions and base it off of those things,\u201d Matthias said.\nFreshman Kayley Thomas learned about the potential to travel to Cuba before she began her first year, which inspired her to attend Simpson. The trip to Cuba widened her worldview, while also allowing her to become closer to her teammates.\n\u201cYou were not always with the same people that you always hang out with back at college because there was a lot more opportunity for freshmen to be with upperclassmen,\u201d Thomas said.\nShe also realized how privileged she is to play softball with equipment such as cleats and other necessary gear.\n\u201cThey only have two bats for their team, and I have my own personal bat,\u201d Thomas said. \u201cThey don\u2019t have those, but they are still able to play. I take the game for granted at times.\u201d\nMatthias chose Cuba because none of the players nor their families had ever visited.\n\u201cWe wanted to go somewhere where it was new to not only the players, but new to their relatives as well,\u201d Matthias said.\nSenior Ashley Allen was thankful for the opportunity to appreciate her quality of life.\n\u201cEven if we don\u2019t think we have the best or the most of something, going down there really showed that we have more than the majority of the world does,\u201d she said.\nThe change in environment had a big impact on Allen. The fields were grassy and the ground had uneven spots\u2014but that didn\u2019t stop the other team from showing off their talent.\n\u201cThey were extremely good,\u201d Allen said. \u201cWe won three out of our four games, but I\u2019ve thought about it a lot, that if they had the state-of-the-art equipment like we did, they could have competed with almost anybody in the United States.\u201d\nAllen was placed in the catching position with the best pitcher in Havana.\n\u201cI had two innings where I got to catch for her, and we had to have a translator come over to us and she would tell him what pitches she threw. And then she let me come up with the calling signals for us to communicate,\u201d Allen said.\nEven though there was a language barrier, she enjoyed playing with the pitcher.\n\u201cIf she came back to the United States to play, she would be one of the top pitchers in our conference,\u201d Allen said.\nSince the Cuban teams did not have the same equipment, the Simpson team did not hesitate in helping them out.\n\u201cWe donated a bag of helmets, some bats, a bucket of balls, and catching gear,\u201d senior Kayla Reusche said. \u201cWe all took our cleats right off our feet and just handed them to them. They were so thankful for it. Some of them were getting emotional, and started to cry.\u201d\n\u201cThat was really cool, to see how thankful they are for shoes,\u201d she added.\nReusche also said she was inspired by the team\u2019s ability to split up and play the game.\n\u201cOn the last game that we had, we combined and mixed teams. Some of the Cubans came over to our dugout, and some of us went over into the Cuban\u2019s dugout, so we were all playing right next to each other,\u201d Reusche said.\nAlthough the culture shock was startling, the team was quickly able to work together.\n\u201cI think we all came together a lot more because there wasn\u2019t any cell service, or Wi-Fi, so nobody was on their phones and we had to actually talk to each other,\u201d Reusche said.\nTags: ashley allen, brent matthias, cuba, kayla reusche, kayley thomas, simpson athletics, softball",

        "raw_content": "Abonyi, George; Bernardo, Romeo; Bolt, Richard; Duncan, Ronald; Tang, Christine | January 2013\nThe book\u2019s intended readers are development practitioners involved in the policy reform process. It aims to help them understand political economy factors that shape actual outcomes, and to simplify the complexities of policy reform. Successful reform has to resolve two separate and conflicting dimensions: people and time. Reforms, by their very nature, challenge the status quo, often threatening those with a stake in the current system - from society's power brokers, to better-off stakeholders who may benefit unintentionally and disproportionately from a policy, through to the intended beneficiaries, even if the status quo is unsustainable over the long term. Their changed influence, incentives, and behavior, as a result of reforms, have to be managed, until the success of the reforms becomes apparent for both them and society more widely. Time, too, has to be assuaged, in the sense that while technocrats may see cuts are needed in, say, subsidies because of a weak budget, the near-term negative effects on low-income groups will be on the minds of both those supporting the political status quo and reformers. And the technocrats know this, so we come full circle. This is what the Asian Development Bank (ADB) - and many other development agencies - in an admittedly long process of trial and error have found out over more than 2 decades of supporting reforms. The more deeply these agencies became involved in reform efforts, the more they recognized that, although there is no blueprint for success, there are clues as to what may work in particular situations, and how the reform process can be better managed. This recognition and acceptance of the wider, political economy dimension of reforms began in ADB in the late 1990s and led to early work to better understand reform processes to improve reform outcomes. The book's intended readers are development practitioners involved in the policy reform process. It aims to help them understand political economy factors that shape actual outcomes, and to simplify the complexities of policy reform and the loans and technical assistance that support such reform.\nAbonyi, George; Bernardo, Romeo; Bolt, Richard; Duncan, Ronald; Tang, Christine. 2013.

        "title": "Composition | THINKING ON MUSIC",
        "raw_content": "Jerry Goldsmith, a top film composer of the second half of the twentieth century, regularly worked on projects unworthy of his artistic expression. His filmography includes over two hundred titles, along with a hefty body of television work. Much of it is stale genre fare: thrillers, westerns, maritime adventures, and war movies. According to Mauricio Dupuis, author of Jerry Goldsmith: Music Scoring for American Movies, \u201cIt is almost proverbial, among enthusiasts of this composer and the applied cinematic genre in general, to consider Goldsmith a rare example of talent and technical ability frequently applied to projects lacking in ideas.\u201d\nStar Trek: The Motion Picture is a case in point. Somewhere between mediocrity and a critical failure, the thinly-scripted and over-budget 1979 film famously strayed from the character-driven saga of the original series. It is a meandering attempt to hybridize Star Trek, Star Wars, and 2001: A Space Odyssey. Even the costumes are a bland shadow of their former selves. Director Robert Wise\u2014legendary for helming The Day the Earth Stood Still, West Side Story, and The Sound of Music\u2014admitted, \u201cThank goodness we had Jerry\u2019s score\u2026He really saved us.\u201d\nFilm music accomplishes a number of aims: establishing atmosphere, setting a mood, building anticipation, amplifying gratification, aiding characterization, shaping narrative, unifying images, and so forth. A well-written score (or well-constructed compilation score) naturalistically undergirds and interacts with the visuals and non-musical sounds. On screen as in life, music is interwoven into human experience, at times underscoring activities, and other times transcending them.\nJust as a thoughtful score can \u201csave\u201d a lackluster scene, good music can mitigate a less-than-spectacular day. \u201cGood\u201d is used here in the utilitarian sense of serving a need or function; or, as Baruch Spinoza wrote, \u201cBy good I mean that which we certainly know to be useful to us\u201d (Ethics IV, Definition 1). A soundtrack for film or daily life is essentially Gebrauchsmusik: music for a purpose outside of the music itself. When the action is intrinsically compelling, good music enhances it. When events are droll or disappointing, good music provides a ray of light. The latter might be called \u201cGebrauchsmusik plus,\u201d with the effect surpassing the reality of the moment.\nUniversity of Groningen researchers Jacob Jolij and Maaike Meurs touched on this in their 2011 study, \u201cMusic Alters Visual Perception.\u201d They found that emotional stimuli, like music, influence not only how listeners feel, but also how they see the world. When music stimulates something positive within, the world tends to improve accordingly. (Of course, the opposite is also true.) A favorite song on the radio can temporarily brighten a slog in heavy traffic; a well-chosen playlist can ease the toil of washing dishes. And, as Jerry Goldsmith often discovered, incidental music that exceeds the quality of a film can improve the cinematic experience.\nThis entry was posted in functional music, music, perception, psychology and tagged 2001: A Space Odyssey, Baruch Spinoza, Composition, Emotions, Film Music, Gebrauchsmusik, Jacob Jolij, Jerry Goldsmith, Maaike Meurs, Mauricio Dupuis, Music, Perception, Psychology, Robert Wise, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Wars, The Day the Earth Stood Still, The Sound of Music, West Side Story on June 14, 2016 by jlfriedmann.",

        "raw_content": "Lucca's iconic terracotta roofs top the town's many historic buildings (Photo: Brand X Pictures/Brand X Pictures/Getty Images )\nBiking in Lucca\nPlaces to Go in Northern Italy\nWith its terracotta tiled roofs, cobblestone streets and numerous historic churches, Lucca is one of Tuscany's most charming towns. Like its neighbors, the town is packed with art and history, but in Lucca's case, its treasures are wrapped securely by a circle of stone. The town's ancient walls, built in the tumultuous 16th and 17th centuries, when northern Italy suffered a number of internecine fights and invasions from the north, are its signature. These days they serve not to protect the city's treasures but as an elevated city park where visitors and locals stroll, admiring Lucca's charm and relaxed atmosphere away from the often crowded, more well-known Tuscan tourist hot spots.\nLucca's origins can be traced to pre-Roman times to the ancient culture of the Etruscans. Artifacts from that era and Roman times are on view at the town's Museo Nazionale di Villa Guinigi. In the medieval age, Lucca became a center for the silk trade and was noted for its affluence. It was one of Italy's free self-ruling communes and the town's riches made it a target, so the walls were erected as protection against invaders and avaricious neighbors. Lucca also is the birthplace of one of Italy's greatest artists, the composer Puccini, and his works are celebrated with an annual opera festival in July and August.\nThe town is 90 minutes by train, car or bus from Florence and 30 minutes from Pisa. Airports in Florence and Pisa connect to major Italian and European cities. Lucca is a pedestrian-friendly town and most sights are accessible on foot. Parking is at a premium inside the city walls. Accommodations range from small hotels within the ancient walls to spacious, luxury hotels in converted villas in the countryside. Weekly apartment rentals via agencies like HomeAway are a good option for visitors planning to use Lucca as a base for touring the region.\nLucca's cuisine has been called the best in Tuscany by \"New York Times\" food writer Mark Bittman. Dishes like pasta luchese, a rich egg pasta stuffed with seasoned meat and topped with a thick ragu, is a reflection, he suggests, of the town's affluence through the ages. Restaurants in the town and surrounding area vary from the internationally known La Mora, a 15-minute ride from the town, to foccacia stalls atop the ancient walls. The town also boasts numerous bakeries and gelaterias, Italian ice cream shops.\nLucca's most famous sight, the Passegiata delle Mure, is the wide walkway, park-like in spots, atop the city's ancient walls. The ramparts of the walls serve as a two-and-a half-mile pedestrian boulevard circling the town. Locals and visitors stroll along the walk, play soccer on its grassy wide spots, assemble for a picnic or simply pause to watch the sunset. Lucca also is known for its religious architecture. There are 99 churches in the town, the largest being the Duomo San Martini. The duomo, or cathedral, which dates to the 11th century, is home to a noted painting, the \"Last Supper\" by Tintoretto. Evidence of Lucca's Roman era can be seen at the Piazza dell'Anfiteatro, an oval-shaped outdoor plaza built atop an ancient circus.\nOne of the best times to visit Lucca is the third weekend of the month, when the town holds an antique market. A good way to get around the town or tour the walls is to rent a bicycle for the hour, day or week from one of the rental shops near the north gate of the walls.\nFodors Europe: Tuscany, Lucca\nLonely Planet: Italy, Tuscany, Lucca\nItaly Heaven: Lucca\nLucca: Visitor Information\nItaly Guides: Interactive Map of Luca\nNew York Times; \"The Riches of Lucca\" by Mark Bittman, Sept. 2006\nLonely Planet; \"Lucca, Italy: a springtime city break\" by Abigail Hole, Jan. 2011\nHomeAway: Lucca, Italy Rentals\nThornley, Robin. \"Lucca, Italy, Tourism.\" Travel Tips - USA Today, https://traveltips.usatoday.com/lucca-italy-tourism-58010.html.

        "raw_content": "If there is one thing pickup truck buyers should be grateful for today, it is the fact that they already have several options to choose from. You can already get basic trucks, fancy trucks, trucks that can haul massive loads and tow trailers and even tiny homes\u2014you name it.\nWhile many pickup trucks these days are beautifully designed and even innovative, there is always be one or perhaps two that fits you to a T. Here is how to pick the best in relation to truck size:\nWhat is the truck for?\nThe pickup truck is a versatile transport: it can be used for leisure or for business\u2014or for something else like moving heavy goods or even an entire home. (Again, think about tiny homes.)\nTrucks, however, do not have the same towing capacity, so your need is one of your major considerations. If the load is about 3,000 or less, then you can go for the smaller option. If you are thinking of pulling a trailer, then start looking into the mid-size rang.\nWhat is the size of the engine?\nThe design of the engine is somewhat proportional to the size of the pickup truck. For instance, the smaller trucks may have at least a 4-cylinder engine, which means it may have lesser power and performance compared to their large counterparts. The good thing is the size of the engine doesn\u2019t have any bearing on the longevity of the vehicle, as many factors can affect that, including the person\u2019s driving habits.\nWhat\u2019s the truck\u2019s classification?\nIn the United States, trucks can fall into any of the 8 classifications based on the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR), which is basically the weight of the entire truck and the maximum load it can carry. GVWR matters since there are road regulations that can affect it, and these laws can vary among states. For example, certain roads may prohibit class 8 trucks or those that have more than 33,000-pound rating from passing through. Further, anyone who drives a class-7 truck should carry a class-B commercial license.\nThe size of the pickup truck is one of the things that can affect your budget. Obviously, the bigger it is, the pricier it gets. A large pickup can cost as much as $50,000 while a small or \u201ccompact\u201d one can average $15,000.\nA lot of manufacturers can give you great deals and financing so you can afford it. But if you want to be more practical with money, you can also consider getting a used vehicle.\nA good way to acquire a good-quality used pickup truck according to your desired size is by auctions. Auctions allow you to select hundreds of pickup trucks in a day and get them for at least 50% of their book value.\nVehicle auctions are happening around the country. If you want to keep tabs on them, you can subscribe to auction listings such as those of Gov-auctions.org, so you don\u2019t miss out on them.",

More specifically anti pornography law in the UK and more specifically still, law that prohibits pornographic images of children. For many people, this is a not a controversial area. Because they are convinced that the laws would never apply to them, then they are happy that prohibitions are on the statute book to deal with the paedophiles in the community and beyond. It may be however, that sometimes the law, particularly unquestioned and unchallenged, for whatever reason, can go too far and can become not only disreputable but counterproductive in its reasoning and its practicalities. The Coroners and Justice Act 2009 is a wide ranging piece of legislation which covers duties of coroners investigating deaths and in relation to treasure trove, as well as partial defences to murder, infanticide and assisting and encouraging suicide, genocide, conspiracy, evidence and treatment of witnesses. Amongst this rag bag of a statute s62 to 69 cover the possession of a prohibited image of a child. This act passed into law without media coverage except on the revised provocation criteria as a partial defence to murder. This is probably because much of the act is of a technical and procedural nature which would only invite comment from practitioners or the police, but s62 \u2013 69 are of an altogether different order and will undoubtedly bring many unwise individuals within the remit of a personally disastrous offence\nProcs 3rd International Seminar on Information Law 2010",

Joanna Partridge reports\nSome relief for Bankia - Spain's most troubled bank. The nationalised lender will receive a capital injection of up to 5 billion euros from Spain's national bank rescue fund according to a source with knowledge of the situation. The source says Bankia should receive that money by 14 September. The extent of the bank's problems was highlighted again on Friday when it posted losses of 4.4 billion euros for the first half of the year. Chris Hughes from Reuters Breaking Views isn't sure Spain could help out more banks this way. SOUNDBITE: Chris Hughes, Deputy Editor, Reuters Breaking Views, saying (English): \"The sums involved here are kind of swallowable. Could it be repeated? It would be probably quite tricky. For now, this looks like a temporary reponse to the problem it buys them time. It may actually be that we'll see another recap further down the line.\" Spain has already asked for a 100 billion euro rescue of its financial sector. Now Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has said Madrid may ask for more, and doesn't expect additional aid to come with new conditions. He wants to see the details of the European Central Bank's bond buying programme before deciding. Peter Dixon from Commerzbank thinks Spain's bank bailout is just the beginning. SOUNDBITE: Peter Dixon, Economist, Commerzbank, saying (English): \"It's hard to know exactly where the Spanish situation is going to end, because I think as we saw in the case of Ireland, once you start to look below the surface at the state of the banks and the impact this is going to have on the rest of the economy, you then start to open up a whole can of worms and we just simply don't know how big that can of worms is and exactly how dreadful the position in Spain is. One thing is for sure, Spain is not going to be able to resolve its problems by itself, it's going to need a huge amount of support and financial aid from the rest of the euro zone.\" Spain is already struggling to implement more austerity measures as it tries to reduce its debt, bring down its borrowing costs and get the economy moving. That's why Rajoy is mindful of the conditions that would come with more aid. But it pits him against his euro zone neighbours like Germany, who only want the ECB to buy struggling countries' debt if the IMF imposes conditions. That topic will undoubtedly be on the agenda when German Chancellor Angela Merkel travels to the Spanish capital later this week. Joanna Partridge, Reuters",

The petition refers back to the duo\u2019s absence as a \u201ctravesty and an injustice\u201d whereas telling followers to signal the petition \u201cto indicate that they should be included within the sequel.\u201d As of now, the petition is nearing its aim of two,000 with 1,856 signatures.\nLil Yachty revealed that he\u2019d be starring within the movie\u2019s upcoming sequel alongside DC Young Fly. Lil Baby, Tiny, and NeNe Leakes are amongst a number of the different names rumors to seem in How High 2.\nWhile it appears unlikely that Meth and Red will likely be reprising their roles within the movie, TMZ reported there\u2019s an opportunity the duo would possibly find yourself making a cameo within the sequel.",

        "title": "7 Social Security Myths You Must Know - Unique Financial Advisors",
        "raw_content": "Many Americans have come to believe certain myths about Social Security benefits and may be misinformed on a range of important topics, such as who is actually eligible to receive benefits, how much they will receive when they apply for benefits, or whether Social Security will pay for their long-term care, to name a few. While the future of Social Security may be uncertain, it is essential to understand the facts about Social Security, particularly what your benefits are, and what they are not, so you can make informed decisions to help prepare for your future.\nLet\u2019s explore the seven biggest myths circulating today about Social Security to set the record straight.\n1. Only people who have worked are eligible for Social Security benefits. Here is an abbreviated list of individuals who may not have worked under Social Security but are eligible to receive benefits:\nA spouse may be eligible for benefits despite never having worked, if he or she is at least age 62, and the husband or wife is a recipient of, or is eligible for, retirement or disability benefits.\nAn unmarried child may be eligible to receive benefits under the following circumstances: if under age 18, or 18-19 years old if a full-time student (no higher than grade 12); and if a parent(s) who is disabled or retired is entitled to Social Security benefits, or after the death of a parent who has worked long enough under Social Security. A child may also be eligible if age 18 and older and disabled, with the onset of disability before the age of 22.\nA widow(er) of a person who worked long enough under Social Security can receive full benefits at full retirement age for survivors, or reduced benefits at age 60 or age 50, if disabled.\n2. Social Security benefits are always tax-free. This is, in fact, the largest myth I have heard from many people. So, if you are in the camp that thinks Social Security benefits are never taxed, it\u2019s time to wake up.\n3. Social Security benefits will fund my retirement. Back in the mid-1930s, Social Security was originally designed to help the most vulnerable population hit hard during the Great Depressions\u2019 older Americans who had no savings after a lifetime of work. Social Security benefits alone, however, were never intended to serve as the major component of a retirement plan. Benefits provide only a base level of income and are meant to supplement retirement funds from other sources, such as employer-sponsored defined benefit plans (e.g., company pensions) and/or defined contribution plans (e.g., 401(k)s), and personal savings.\n4. Benefit amount is not affected by age. This is one of the biggest misconceptions about Social Security benefits. Because the age at which you apply for your benefits matters, here are some key points to consider:\nThe Social Security \u201cgive-back.\u201d If you apply for benefits at age 62 (the earliest age at which you can apply) or older, but are still under the full retirement age (65-67 depending on your birth year), not only will you receive reduced Social Security benefits, but if you are still working, you must \u201cgive back\u201d money. If you\u2019re younger than full retirement age during all of 2018, you must give back $1 for every $2 earned above $17,040. If you reach full retirement age during 2018, your benefits are reduced by $1 for each $3 earned over $45,360 until the month you reach full retirement age.\nBenefits at full retirement age. When you reach your full retirement age, there is no limit on your earnings, and Social Security benefits are not reduced. Keep in mind that each year you delay applying beyond your full retirement age up to age 70, your monthly benefit amount increases by 8%.\nMaximum benefits. It is important to note that the maximum benefit for a person who retires at full retirement age is $2,788 per month (in 2018). The benefit for a non-working spouse would be only 50% of that amount.\n5. Social Security pays for long-term care. The reality is that you\u2019re on your own when it comes to funding your long-term care, if needed. Medicare, the government health insurance program for people age 65 and over, and for those under 65 with certain disabilities and chronic conditions, only covers short-term care. It may also cover some nursing home or assisted living costs, but only for \u201cskilled care\u201d that is deemed medically necessary for the duration of an illness, usually limited to 100 days following a three-day hospital stay.\n6. Social Security system will be bankrupt by the time I retire. This is absolutely untrue. While there is some truth that the program could get into funding shortfall by 2034 (if no action is taken between now and year 2034), to fear the system will be broke in future is, in fact, a myth.\nBasically Social Security works like this: Today\u2019s workers pay for the benefits of retirees via the payroll tax. For most of the past years, workers paid more into the system than retirees received in benefits, creating a surplus that was invested in interest-accruing trust funds.\nA recent trustees report projected Social Security can continue to pay 100 percent of benefits through 2034 by relying in part on the money in the trust funds. At that point, the report suggested, that the trust funds will be depleted, and Congress will need to decide whether to increase revenue, cut benefits or both. Otherwise, Social Security will be able to pay just 79 percent of promised benefits in 2035 and a little less for the foreseeable future.\nThat said, and despite the alarmist headlines, this is not the end of Social Security. Here is why:\nThe trust funds were never intended to be left alone \u2013 and in fact, have been tapped many times since they started.\nThere are ways to manage the financial shortfall between now and the next 16 years. For example, increasing the payroll tax by just 2.88 percentage points alone would cover the expected shortfall over the next 75 years.\n7. Everyone who has worked is entitled to receive Social Security benefits.Unfortunately, this is a misconception that may come as a big surprise to many U.S. workers when planning to retire. The government pension offset (GPO) is a Federal law that reduces the spousal and survivor\u2019s benefits for most retirees who collect pensions from jobs that are not covered by Social Security. The following are affected by the GPO: state and/or local government agency employees not covered by Social Security; Federal employees who were hired before January 1, 1984; and teachers who work in state retirement system districts not covered by Social Security. In addition, individuals who are convicted of a criminal offense are not eligible to receive benefits while imprisoned.\nSo, what you think? Hope this post helped clear some of the misunderstanding you may have about this important Retirement benefit \u2013 Social Security. Here are some final thoughts:\nWhen thinking about retirement, you may want to consider that Social Security benefits provide only a basic level of income. The age at which you choose to retire is a major factor in that equation, and there are other questions to ask yourself before making that important decision to retire, including: Will you have enough income to live on? How to ensure Retirement Savings last your lifetime? What other considerations help you achieve a successful Retirement? What are the most dangerous myths of Retirement Planning? Are you prepared to fund your long-term care in the future if you need it?\nBe sure to consult a qualified financial professional to help you stay on track to meet your overall financial objectives for the future. Let me know if you need help. Best of luck!",

        "title": "What Provisions Does MDR Outline for Data Privacy?",
        "raw_content": "With regulations such as GDPR and the Right to Be Forgotten frequently in the news, data privacy has become a hot-button issue over the past few years. Medical device companies operating within the European Union are subject to additional regulations through the Medical Device Regulation (MDR), which further outlines requirements for data privacy as it relates to the production and distribution of medical devices.\nWhat is mdr?\nThe EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR) went into effect on May 25, 2017 with the intention of improving the safety and quality of medical devices. MDR also expects to foster more transparency and better communication in the medical device production process. The regulation includes requirements for labeling medical devices appropriately, creating unique device identifiers (UDIs), registering device information in the central Eudamed database, and taking \u201cnecessary corrective action\u201d for nonconforming devices that are currently on the market. Although MDR was passed in 2017, it will not take full effect until 2020.\nwhat type of data is collected under mdr?\nWith the new MDR scope expanding the definition of medical devices, mandating additional post-market follow-up from economic operators such as manufacturers and distributors, and requiring data entry into the Eudamed database, the amount of data being collected and used in medical device manufacture and distribution has increased. Collected data would include technical documentation for each device, information collected from clinical trials, patient data based on consumer complaints or clinical investigations, and more.\nhow are data privacy provisions under mdr?\nChapter IX, Articles 109 and 110 of MDR outline data privacy and data protection provisions. Article 109 is a confidentiality clause which states that all parties subject to MDR (mostly medical device manufacturers, importers, distributors, and authorized representatives) must \u201crespect the confidentiality of information and data obtained in carrying out their tasks,\u201d including personal data, trade secrets, and intellectual property rights.\nMDR further states that \u201cinformation exchanged on a confidential basis between competent authorities and the [European] Commission shall not be disclosed without the prior agreement of the originating authority.\u201d This means that confidential information cannot be more widely shared without express permission of the patient, healthcare provider, or other relevant party who \u201cowns\u201d the data. The exception is if the data is required for the proceedings of criminal law. In addition, MDR allows the European Commission and Member States to exchange confidential data with regulatory authorities of \u201cthird countries\u201d (those outside of the EU) with which they have bilateral or multilateral confidentiality arrangements in place.\nMoreover, MDR draws upon other EU regulations for compliance in data privacy and protection. Article 110 of MDR specifies that Directive 95/46/EC, a predecessor to GDPR and a fundamental component of EU privacy law, must be followed in the processing of personal data. The Commission must also adhere to Regulation (EC) No 45/2001, which is specific to \u201cCommunity institutions and bodies,\u201d when processing personal data.\nNot sure if your organization is on the right track?\nEnsuring compliance with all these regulations can be complicated, which is why having a trusted partner is essential to getting it right.

        "raw_content": "At the top of the stairwell.\nFOR THE FIRST decade after moving to Mexico I visited the United States once a year for a week or so. The primary motive was to see my mother.\nThe first three or four years I did it alone, flying. It was not until 2004 that my child bride had obtained a U.S. visitor visa. We then continued the trips, sometimes flying, other times driving. It\u2019s a long way from our Mexican mountaintop to Atlanta, which is where my mother lived.\nMy mother died in January 2009 at age 90. After that, we\u2019ve only been above the border once, a few months later, and that was to do paperwork related to my mother\u2019s death. We went to San Antonio for that.\nI have not visited my natal nation in nearly a decade. Instead I\u2019ve remained down here in tumultuous Mexico and, oddly, life here has begun to seem normal. This is so even though I continue to equate Mexican life to Alice\u2019s Wonderland.\nThis is because so many things here don\u2019t make a lick of sense.\nI almost never speak English, and I find myself forgetting English words on occasion. And though my Spanish is quite passable, I hardly would qualify as a Spanish professor. This occasionally leaves me dangling in a verbal limbo.\nI find myself picking up Mexican habits. More and more, I respond \u201cyes\u201d to most queries. It\u2019s easier that way. And doing something ma\u00f1ana instead of today leaves more relax time for today.\nMy driving habits cannot now be described as admirable.\nOne local habit I\u2019ve not acquired and never will is epic, rampant, shameless lying.\nI won\u2019t be crossing the border again, ever. Everything I need can be found nearby. I watch America on the internet, and it looks disgraceful and sad. Walking the sidewalk here, on the other hand, I see people smiling.\nWith two exceptions, I have no relatives above the border. They all died except my sister and daughter. The first I do not like, and the second does not like me. I own no property in the United States.\nI have no U.S. identification papers aside from my passport which I will not renew when it expires. Don\u2019t know why I did it last time.\nAt this moment just past dawn, the church bell is slowly gonging down on the plaza, so someone died. It\u2019s a mournful sound, but I feel pretty good about things in spite of having uprooted myself from the dirt from which I sprouted.\nOn the stairwell landing, halfway down.\nSeptember 6, 2018 September 6, 2018 \u00b7 Posted in Mexican life \u00b7 Tagged culture, death, emigration, immigration, Mexico, retire in Mexico \u00b7\n18 thoughts on \u201cUprooting one\u2019s roots\u201d\nI have not had your courage to uproot myself yet. I do think about it.\nPat: It\u2019s not for everyone. It\u2019s not even for everyone who thinks they\u2019ve kinda done it. It\u2019s amusing to observe the Gringos \u2014 the majority \u2014 in our town who seem incapable of staying here more than a few months without fleeing above the border on some pretext or another.\nThis Gringo has yet to completely uproot; however, he\u2019s put himself in numerous locations NOB that are far from home geographically and otherwise. Maybe that counts. I bet it does.\nGiven enough time, he may yet accomplish the great uprooting as you have done.\nFelicidades, amigo!\nRicardo: As for congratulations, it\u2019s a mixed bag. But so far I\u2019m on the upside of things.\nItinerary: Thanks. Feel free to weigh in again. You will not go to the moderation file.\nDid you give up your Medicare? The part that is paid out of pocket.\nMark W: Medicare pays nothing for medical care outside the United States, so I\u2019ve never had anything to do with it. I became eligible when I hit 65, but I\u2019ve just ignored it. Part comes free. Other additional parts one must pay for, if memory serves. I imagine I have the free part, but I\u2019ll never use it.\nI forget that I even have Medicare, even though they sent me a card, and even though I went through the proper hoops to opt out of the part that I\u2019d have to pay for. It\u2019s something that I\u2019ll never use. For that, the government ought to be sharing some of its savings with me. But it won\u2019t.\nMs. Shoes: I forget what I did about that when I turned 65. If I had to opt out of something, I surely opted.\nWhy anyone would want to haul their backside above the border to get Medicare to pay for something when Mexican healthcare is right here and payable out of (most people\u2019s) pockets is beyond me. Well, perhaps not. Often the Gringos don\u2019t speak Spanish, and they don\u2019t trust doctors here in the same way they don\u2019t trust the Mexican mail system, which functions just fine. Doctors too. But while the mail moves slowly, doctors here do not.\nI\u2019m second generation here. My mother lived in Mexico until her death 21 years ago, and her annual trips north were for the purpose of shopping and not visiting her issue, because she felt it was our responsibility to visit her instead of the reverse. My only relative in the Old Country is a half-brother with whom there isn\u2019t much connection. Now I have reached the point where I have lived in Morelia longer than I\u2019ve lived any place in my entire life. And as I walk up the street to the fruteria, look up at the templo antiguo, I think it myself, \u201cI\u2019ve walked this street during my 30s, during my 40s, during my 50s, and now during my 60s.\u201d I can\u2019t say that about any place else in the world. This is where my roots are.\nMs. Shoes: Not having relatives predate me here, I cannot claim roots. My roots are up thataway. And they are pulled out of the soil to sit in the sun getting dry and old.\nI love the flower that never fades, but not as much as the constipated calaca.\nYou have been out of the loop for so long, you are not up on the current craziness that we endure.\nAs my sons say, \u201cOnly in our house is it 1954 forever.\u201d\nSe\u00f1or Gill: That I do not have to witness the current craziness up there first-hand is something I regard as a blessing. But I know what\u2019s going on. The internet is very efficient. I wish I could just ignore all of it, but what happens in the U.S. affects the whole world, unfortunately. There is no escape in the long run short of death. I may have to resort to that at some point.\nDon\u2019t resort to death until you\u2019ve exhausted all the other options.\nWhere we\u2019re following the advice given.\nHa, forgetting a word or two is not exclusive, se\u00f1or Felipe, I have noticed recently or about the last two years, ah \u2026 sorry, forgot was I was talking about.\nTancho: Look! It\u2019s contagious!\nAll of my family is NOB. My mother is still living and in good health. My in-laws are both still living but not in the best of health. Our kids are there. Thus, we\u2019ll be making regular treks back north for many years to come. At some point we may even have to resort to living there again for a limited period of time to take care of those aging parents or settle their estates. However, my plan if that becomes necessary, is still to return to Mexico. We\u2019ve only been here a year but life south of the border has become the new normal. Viva Mexico!\nThe broken bone",

Calmly. I'm also offended that you seem to read any disagreement as \"not cool\". I'm rational and presenting coherent arguments that this is a racist title and should not be on the front page of an international magazine on a major holiday.

So, concern taken for what it is, but, please, don't tell me how I should be expressing my genuine disagreement with promoting this title. I don't tell you anything of the sort.\nI'm not saying you have no point, your post just seemed a bit...heated/angry(hence me saying \"cool down\").

Big props to you for standing up and pointing out how racist the title of this game is. It is offensive and your reaction is definitely justified.

I usually come to escapist just to watch zero punctuation but the completely inappropriate title of the article made click on it. Thank you escapist for reminding me why i never read the articles here.\nBonsaiK\nAs someone who is part-Chinese I do find this game as not a very prudent choice for The Escapist to highlight. I'd definitely stop short of saying \"I'm offended\" (racial epithets make up easily over half of my CD collection after all) but I wonder if it's the best choice especially given how many young people visit this site. \"Ching-Chong\" is a reference to Chinese people, but the game is parodying a type of TV show that is Japanese and actually has nothing to do with China. I guess to the American who made this game, that's not an important distinction for him, because in his eyes Asians are obviously all the same. I interpret this as being very racist, even if he didn't have any actual racist intent in making the game. It's a shame that he had to taint his game with a stupid and unfunny name like this because I actually don't mind the gameplay concept and some of the other humour in the game is reasonably clever.\nI realise that The Escapist and a lot of gamers in general are obsessed with Japanese culture (although I can't work out why, it seems very random to me) so I guess something that both references Japenese culture and is a computer game was irresistible to them as it helps them to magnify this (artificial) link. The fact that the article writer was willing to gloss over a little bit of inconvenient racism, because the article subject matter was just that tempting, makes the Escapist look amateurish. I think that The Escapist can find better things to write articles about than what some racist kid did on Newgrounds.\nIt was not a racial slur I was familiar with, and given that it was featured prominently on several other browser gaming sites, contains significantly higher production values than a bunch of other browser games, was actually recommended to us by several readers, and is simply an enjoyable game, that was why it was chosen.\nYou're always welcome to submit your Alt+Escape ideas via PM or email, and if you have a suggestion for a replacement I'd be happy to facilitate it - it was never our intention to offend.\nqbanknight\nOkay, how about this: You tell me what's so offensive about it. From what I understand, it merely mocks how Chinese sounds to Europeans. What's so bad about that? Nobody seems to care when the French language, for example, is mocked, and it is mocked quite often. Same thing about Russian or pretty much any other language I can think of. All of them have been made fun of, but it's never been perceived as offensive, at least not in Switzerland, Germany or Austria or for that matter the rest of Europe(as far as I know).\nEdit: I probably won't be able to respond until the 10.01 because I'm going on vacation!!\nEdit 2: Wikipedia just told me that \"Kraut\" is a so-called ethnic slur for Germans. I don't mind that term, in fact, I think hardly any German would react so strongly. If \"Ching Chong\" is not a lot more offensive than Kraut, then no, it doesn't strike me as justifying a strong reaction.\nhypothetical fact\nYou heard it hear first folks, play this fine platformer before the minority of Saint Waldo dictates what you can see.\nwith that attitude you wouldn't have had a nice x-mas anyway.\nthe name is irrelevant. it's a great game.\ni played this game a few weeks ago first, its a wonderful game! the controls are beautiful, as is your character's cursing whenever he falls over.\nand frankly the name isn't racist at all, its just a word after all. racism is a state of mind, not a word. this isn't a loaded word like ni**er or p*ki, this is a word roughly on the level of kraut, limey, frog etcetera. people need to stop thinking that racism is a sound you make and start accepting that it is an opinion.\n(moderators, feel free to 'star out' letters wherever you need)\nWas it just me who thought on first reading this ...\n'Well, if you're offended by that, you're in a minority' and then realised it could be taken more than one way... and then typed it anyway.\nReally, there's a difference between 'nigger', being a racial slur with its roots in slavery, and things like froggy and kraut, coming from national dietary choices, and ching chong coming from a percieved view of the sound of the language.\nOne is putting down an entire race as worthless, the other is saying 'lol foreigners eat/sound/act funny', which they are and always will be, hell as a brit, I know we're fairly open to ridicule for numerous things, no matter how many equality laws are passed, and I'll locking myself in a soundproof room to laugh at them in future if needed :)\nHaving said all that, it's entirely your right to be offended if you're oriental, however if not, I think it might be an overreaction.\nTo me this isn't the problem, it's people using it against individuals, for instance mocking the kid at school. This is obviously not meant meanly and is exaggerated for humour's sake.\nBagaloo\nBrilliant game, though I never finished it because I got a bit fed up with the controls. Got well over half way though.\nAs for the debate over its name, I think it was more a lighthearted poke at the slur itself.\nwarbaloon\nSenseOfTumour:\nSince when did we let limeys on the escapist...\nIf you were going to point out anything offensive about the game it would be the radioactive crater or the main character saying, \"This is for Pearl Harbor.\" Then again I have bigger complaints about how when you fell in a few stages you would have to go through another obstacle course to get back to the part you fell on...\nWall jumping is and always will be amazing.\ni think that The Swain should make a Blockhead cartooon again. It's been ages!\nend_boss\nI am of Asian descent, and I am not so much offended by it as I am rather annoyed. The blow is softened greatly by the fact that it's a parody game. The slur is less offensive when used with a sense of irony, so I wouldn't have cared too much, IF the game was parodying the CHINESE.\nI guess it's still not the worst thing in the world, but \"Ching Chong\" is a parody of the Chinese language, not the Japanese, so it would be similar in context to describing a French person as a \"mick.\" It's really annoying, but I'm not so morally outraged by it, either, given the context. If, say, they called Stranglehold \"Detective Ching Chong,\" then I would be furious.\nA few years back, when Rosie O'Donnell said, and I quote, \"Ching chong, ching chong, ching chong, Danny Devito, ching chong,\" I wasn't so outraged as I simply thought that she was stupid and unfunny. However, after meeting with controversy over the line from the Asian community, she defended herself by saying \"I'm an impressionist,\" and THAT'S what offended me. I was offended because she didn't feel the need to put any actual effort into it, and called it an \"impression,\" as if it was in any way an accurate representation of how the Chinese language sounds. For the most part, I do tend to feel that a lot of Asians get overly defensive (Korea has banned the movies Falling Down and Die Another Day for depicting Korean characters in a negative light), but at the same time I at least want the parodies of our culture to be held in the same regard as other minority groups.\nPersonally, I don't like this game. It's funny at first glance, but it's charm wears off after spending some time playing it.\nThe controls were a major turn-off for me, and extremely bothersome when you get to the later levels. It's one thing when the level is fighting against you, but entirely different when the controls do, too. It's even worse when you see yourself hit the corner of a ledge, not grab onto it, and then fall and backtrack just to try again. The worst part is, in the author's comments, he addresses the bad controls having to do with using IE and tells you to \"...get a new browser pls thx\".\nAs for the racism, I don't know, but I can definitely see where you're coming from. It does seem odd how some comments are aimed at China while the contestant himself is in Japan.\nAt least over here you don't get called a \"pussy\" that plays \"sissy games\" for not liking this thing.\nInteresting concept, but while I'm certain the game had to be very hard for it to work, it overdid it. Maybe it's because I just hate keyboard controls. I'm pretty sure flash allows for joystick controls and I happen to have one.\nWhile it's hilarious to see the character scrambling for height, failing and falling on its face, it's also fun to advance levels, which I couldn't do because I wouldn't go back and redo half the level because I missed the flawless timing. With the god damn shift key. Vaudeville is only funny when it happens to others.\nAs for the racism, I think we should give a pass to any words that have not been used seriously in over fourty years, but perhaps that's just me. The Chinese/Japanese mix-up was probably deliberate though.\nProphetic Heresy:\nhe addresses the bad controls having to do with using IE and tells you to \"...get a new browser pls thx\".\nEh, I'm using Firefox and it's bad, so there.\nDu Jour Jaricho\nend_boss:\nOr you know, The-Swain (creator and programmer) didn't know it was a racial slur? I sure as Hell didn't.\nOn the subject of parkour games John, may I recommend Canabalt?\nI personally use the \"A\" button for running. And yes it's difficult, but that didn't stop me from trying 100 times to get gold on all the levels in the first area on Medium difficulty. It helps to come up with a few tricks to get around problems, like sliding across puddles to quickly get over them. Though if there's one thing so far that bugs the Hell out of me it's stairways and ramps, I hate the fact that your character can stumble by running or jumping on a ramp.\nthat game was fun(for me) for about 2 seconds, then the voices and music murdered my eats, and the game became boring.\nThere's reacting and then there's pointlessly throwing a fuss about inconsequential stuff.\nTakeshi's Castle, what this game is a homage to, was arguably a show that regularly made fun of its contestants in new and inventive ways, and generally strived to be as silly and demeaning as they could get away with. It was hardly a fountain of political correctness.\nAnd citing a wikipedia article as undeniable fact? Really?\nDu Jour Jaricho:\nWhich is fine, and I'm not holding a grudge against him, but at the same time, if somebody genuinely thought that French people were called \"micks\" (which is the derogatory term for the Irish, for those who might not know), it would still be wrong. Using a slur in a parodical nature isn't too bad itself, and I'm not offended by the fact that the term \"Ching Chong\" was used. In fact, I'm not even offended AT ALL, but I am a bit annoyed because using the term \"Ching Chong\" to describe something that is Japanese is simply incorrect. That's simply a factual statement. It's like if somebody was making a game about Moby Dick and said that it's based on the book by Ernest Hemingway. He might have genuinely believed that Hemingway wrote it, but it is, simply, incorrect.\nAlso, just because you don't know that something is a slur, it doesn't mean that it either isn't a slur, or is suddenly acceptable to use. Consider if somebody called a person wearing a turban a \"towelhead,\" It is a term that directly references their headpiece as it looks to those of us in North American or European countries. Now, if somebody made a game called \"Towelhead Adventures,\" and the programmer didn't realize that it was a negative slur, and a couple other people didn't realize it was offensive either, does that suddenly make it perfectly acceptable? Not necessarily.\nNow, let's say that \"Towelhead Adventures\" was made to be a comedy game that was a parody, and so the term \"Towelhead\" was being used ironically. Under that context, it might not be considered offensive, but if the game centred around a Jewish rabbi wearing a yarmulke, then the term \"Towelhead\" is just plan and simply the incorrect term to use, and those who are Jewish might be a bit annoyed, if not offended by it.\nIn the case of \"Ching Chong Beautiful,\" I am not offended, because I understand the context in which it was used, but I'm a little annoyed because \"Ching Chong\" is simply the INCORRECT term to use. Whether you know it's a slur or not, the term is incorrect, and that's just a FACT.\nYou actually expect me to read all of that?\nNone of those telling me that I'm overreacting were actually CALLED ch*ng-ch*ng as a kid. I was. I'm not even Chinese, I just look Asian. So the phrase doubly represents a prejudicial stereotype based on ethnicity AND the stupid ignorance of those who apply such phrases. I'd like you all to revisit your arguments in favor of interpreting a brand of racism as acceptable. You really are amazing.\nYou can argue all you want. There is no relativism for racism. Slavery does not make \"ni**er\" any more or less offensive than this word, just like the Holocaust doesn't make \"k*ke\" more or less offensive than any other slur. To suggest so is callous, cruel, ignorant and condescending.\nI still strenuously object to this game being publicized here and in the absence of a retraction or an apology I'd appreciate The Escapist trying to avoid looking ignorant of hate speech. A slur is a slur. Your ignorance of it being a slur is simply the same thing that made the slur: IGNORANCE. Ignorance is not an acceptable excuse for cruelty.\nYou were seriously called ching chong as a kid? That's... kinda ridiculous. I've never even heard it used as an insult before. To most people, it's associated with the term \"ching chong chinaman\" which, while intended as racist, nowadays just comes off as stupid.\nThe entire game is one massive parody; even the use of the term was probably deliberate, as it's wrongly applied to the Japanese.\nYes, there is relativism. Call an African American man a nigger, and he's like to be rather offended. Those around you will not approve. But they can do it.\nCall a Caucasian person a cracker, they are unlikely to be offended. Because while it is a racial slur, technically, it has no weight behind it.\nOh, and the main character (who comes off as extremely American) is named Ching.",

It should not be used in any way as a political symbol that divides us...\u201d\n\u201cHonorable Americans fought on both sides in the Civil War, including slave holders in the Union Army,\u201d and \u201cmany non-slave holders fought for the South,\u201d he wrote. \u201cThis is a time for us to come together, and to recognize once more that our complex multicultural society is founded on the principle of mutual respect.\u201d\n[Former senator Jim Webb (D-VA) appears to defend Confederate flag, by Rachel Weiner, Washington Post, June 24, 2015].\nWebb's position is nuanced, thoughtful, and grounded in his long record of thinking, writing, and speaking on the issue. Of course, contemporary politics is based on jumping on whatever phony issue is created, repeating insincere slogans, and claiming you are a good person because you retweeted a hashtag. He's out of step on this issue, as the Post sneers,\nHe is also known for saying what he thinks, regardless of political expediency. That outspokenness, and his opinions on the Confederate flag issue, could be a stumbling block if he enters the Democratic primaries.\nAnother former Democratic politician has stepped forward, Ben Jones, who played the character \"Cooter\" on the Dukes of Hazzard TV series and was a Congressman from the state of Georgia from 1989 to 1993.\nIn a Facebook post on the page for his store late Tuesday, Jones called the flag a symbol of the spirit of independence. The flag represents the values of the rural South including courage, family and good times, he wrote.\n\"We are the same good people today that we were last week and last year and we are not going to be shamed into turning our backs on our heritage,\" he wrote.\n['Dukes of Hazzard' actor, once a congressman and now a store owner, defends Confederate flag, Associated Press, June 24, 2015].\nMeanwhile, Republicans are piling all over each other in an attempt to disown the flag, not that it will do them any good.",

        "raw_content": "Who Founded the Salvation Army\nThe Salvation Army is a Christian church that is best known for their charitable work around the world. It is an international organization, with over 1.4 million members, that can be found in over 120 countries of the world. They are well known in the United States for their red kettles, with which they collect donations, during the Christmas season. However, they also have a high level of community respect for their relief work after natural disasters, such as hurricane Katrina. Let\u2019s take a look at who founded this charitable organization.\nWho founded the Salvation Army?\nThe Salvation Army was founded in 1865 by William and Catherine Booth as the East London Christian Mission. William Booth was a former Methodist preacher who had a passion to help the poor and destitute people of Britain. He started the East London Christian Mission to preach to these people and offer them some sort of assistance. The majority of the first converts to the church were the outcasts of society who were not welcome in polite Christian society. This included homeless people, alcoholics, drug addicts and prostitutes.\nThe organization changed their name to the Salvation Army in 1878 and created a military structure for the organization. William Booth became the \u201cgeneral\u201d and the ministers were called \u201cofficers.\u201d Other members of the organization were referred to as \u201csoldiers.\u201d They also designed a flag, crest, shield, uniforms and salute. They are also known for creating their own style of Christian music, which was often based on traditional pub tunes. Today, the Salvation Army still holds to many of their traditional military symbols, but there is a push from some members to drop aspects of the military symbolism.\nWho Founded Alcoholics Anonymous (AA)\nWho Founded the International Red Cross",

I learned, the hard way, that your prosperity can also be your adversity. I lived a hell on earth for four years as I was investigated, charged, convicted, and sentenced, climaxed by the four months I spent at Terminal Island. I wouldn't do it again in my worst nightmare, but I learned some valuable lessons I might never have otherwise learned. That's what I'd like to share with you. If my story can help one person, just one person, so they don't have the same problem; if they can say, listen, that could happen to me, I need to be careful to not think too much of myself, to the point that I believe the rules don't apply to me, that I can cut a corner here and step over the line there with no consequences, it will be more than worth it.\" A.

        "raw_content": "History 9832B: Interactive Exhibit Design (Winter 2012). 3D Representation\nNow that you are familiar with working with two dimensional images in vector format, the next step is to learn to create three-dimensional representations. Traditionally, this work was done with Computer Aided Design (CAD) programs that focused on providing digital replacements for drafting and technical drawing. Now there are a wide range of programs for working with 3D, ranging from animation (Maya, Blender) to engineering (AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Rhino). Most of these are very powerful, and require months or years to learn to use well. In class we will use Google SketchUp, a freely-available and easy-to-use tool for creating 3D representations. Later we will print simple SketchUp models in plastic using the MakerBot Thing-O-Matic 3D printer we just built.\nBackground Preparation\nInstall the free version of Google SketchUp 8 on your machine if you haven\u2019t already\nIf you are new to Google SketchUp, watch the getting started video tutorials, or, alternately, just try learning how the different tools in the toolbar work by using the videos on the same page\nIf you have used SketchUp before, try some of the advanced video tutorials\nOptional: watch the Elephant Jumping on a Trampoline\nChoose a tutorial to work through in class from the video tutorials, self-paced tutorials, Google SketchUp Tutorioals, SketchUp Artists or from somewhere else. Pick something that you find challenging and fun, but not paralyzingly advanced.\nAlternately, use SketchUp to create 3D representations of one or more of your project ideas for the course.\nCombining 3D Models with Other Tools\nA number of years ago, I created a short tutorial showing how to use 3D models as part of the process of mocking up a museum exhibit. You are welcome to work through these if you\u2019d like\u2026 note that some of the specific instructions may be out of date.\nTurkel, \u201cHow To: Make a Museum Exhibit Mockup with Free Tools, Part 1,\u201d Digital History Hacks (12 November 2007); Part 2 and Part 3 (13 November 2007)\nIf you\u2019ve already done a lot of work with SketchUp or other CAD software, you are welcome to try installing and working with a more complicated package like Blender. There are tutorials on the Blender site.",

        "title": "Milwaukee\u2019s interfaith community celebrates our common humanity with Gratitude exhibit | Wisconsin Muslim Journal",
        "raw_content": "Posted by Wisconsin Muslim Journal | Dec 7, 2018 | Audio, Featured\nAn exhibition of photographic banners, \u201cGratitude: a celebration of our common humanity\u201d was displayed in Milwaukee City Hall from November 19 until after the Thanksgiving holiday, a collaborative project of the Interfaith Conference of Greater Milwaukee\u2019s Committee for Interfaith Understanding and the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design MIAD).\nFifteen large photographic banners were displayed in the rotunda space, each image taken by a student at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design. The project was designed to highlight the city\u2019s diverse faith community, with each picture representing the theme of spiritual \u201cgratitude.\u201d\nAs part of the learning experience, MIAD students visited places of worship and meditation in the Milwaukee area and created photographic observations of their experiences. In the process, they also reflected on their own personal spirituality. The resulting images showcase the incredible assortment of faith traditions in the city, while also acknowledging the shared threads that connect the citizens.\n\u201cThe art showcases the incredible diversity of faith traditions in our city, and acknowledges the vital threads that connect us as human beings,\u201d said Tom Heinen, Executive Director of the Interfaith Conference of Greater Milwaukee. \u201cThis is an important display for the historic times in which we live.\u201d\nPeople of all faiths and philosophies were invited to the special interfaith program. The exhibit\u2019s opening reception was attended by almost one hundred residents from the area, with a special introduction from Mayor Tom Barrett.\n\u201cI think we all recognize that diversity is one of the opportunities and one of the challenges we face as a community. And one of the things that we should understand is that every single person who lives in the City of Milwaukee is a minority. What do I mean by that? It\u2019s just a simple math statement. If you look at the racial groups that comprise our city, none of them constitute over 50% of our population. And so none of us can speak as the majority,\u201d said Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett. \u201cI have not done an analysis on religion, but if you broke down the different denominations of Christianity into a classification as religion, I would guess the same thing is true. There is not one religion that comprises a majority in this city.\u201d\nOver 400 images were collected from students, and 15 were selected for the exhibit. The winning photos were taken by Alexandra Upadhyaya, Jocelyn Escobar, Maggie Hoffman, Abigail Mercaldo, Mackenzie Nourse, Paris Lewis, Alex Evans, Seth Vervaet, Kati Treu, Cyan Townley, Noah Sotolongo, Paris Lewis, and Cat Simpson.\n\u201cSometimes to empower someone means asking them to step outside of their comfort zones. Or to work in new ways, using tools that they may be unfamiliar with. Both of those things happened this semester,\u201d said Leslie Fedorchuk, Professor and Director of Academic Service Learning for MIAD. \u201cI never had any doubts that this group of young artists and designers would rise to the challenges that this project asked for. It has been an honor to work with them.\u201d\nThe proceedings also included the calls to prayer from various faiths, with a litany of gratitude and time for community outreach with those in attendance. Participants contributing the Call to Prayer for their faiths included Jim Salinsky, Rev. Reirin Gumbel, Rev. Marilyn Miller, Ubaid Grays, Rev. Tonen O\u2019Connor, and Barbara Tracey.\nThe Interfaith Conference of Greater Milwaukee holds programs throughout the year to focus on the economic, social, and moral health of the region\u2019s population.\nThese audio segments were recorded live during the Gratitude exhibit event, which include remarks by speakers and the calls to prayer from represented faiths.\nPreviousMuslim lawmaker seeks to overturn ban on hats in Congress\nNextFrom the River to the Sea: CNN fires commentator Marc Lamont Hill for Palestinian Solidarity at UN",

        "raw_content": "Members of a Muslim youth group collected trash and cleaned up national parks around the U.S. recently in an effort to relieve some of the damage done during the government shutdown.\nDozens of people associated with Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association, the largest national organization for Muslim youths, cleaned up litter, emptied trash cans and swept the grounds in places such as the Everglades National Park in Florida and Joshua Tree National Park in California.\nMore than a dozen young Muslim men also reportedly picked up trashed at the Independence Mall in Philadelphia, the site of Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell. A group of volunteers were also spotted cleaning up areas at the National Mall in Washington DC.\n\u201cService to our nation and cleanliness are important parts of Islam,\u201d Dr. Madeel Abdullah, president of the youth group, said in a press release.\n\u201cWe could not sit idly by as our national parks collected trash. We will lead by example and dispose of this garbage appropriately and invite all Americans to join us in these parks and others across the nation.\u201d\nA spokesperson for the group, Salaam Bhatti, told the news network that people from the general public joined its members during clean-ups after getting in contact via social media.\nBhatti said that the group has logged about 200,000 hours in community cleanups since 2016. She added that such efforts help increase dialogue between Muslims and people of other religious backgrounds.\n\u201cI hope it shows that we\u2019re not here just to talk about Islam the whole time,\u201d Bhatti said. \u201cWe\u2019re here to be part of America.\u201d\nThe cleanups occurred as the partial government shutdown, which began on December 22, has gone on to become the longest shutdown in history. The shutdown was triggered after Republicans and Democrats could not come to an agreement on a new spending bill.\nPresident Trump originally requested that $5 billion be included in the bill meant for a wall along the southern border, which Democrats oppose.\nNational parks have been impacted by the shutdown. The National Park Service said in a statement that it has \u201cexplored a number of options to address the maintenance and sanitation issues that have arisen at a number of highly visited parks.\u201d\nPrevious2019 Inaugural Committee Interfaith Service \u201cOur Wisconsin, Our Values\u201d\nNextIRC Book Review: Big Red Lollipop\nAn illness that does not discriminate by culture, ethnicity, or faith",

        "raw_content": "University of California, Davis, USA, and IZA, Germany\nImmigration has a very small effect on the average wages of native workers.\nThere is little evidence of immigration lowering the wages of less educated native workers.\nIn the long term, immigration, especially of high-skilled workers, increases innovation and the skill mix, with potentially positive productivity effects.\nIn many countries, the share of graduate workers is higher for immigrants than for native workers.\nFirms have absorbed immigrants by adopting appropriate technologies, expanding production, and moving native workers into more communication-intensive jobs.\nThere is some evidence of a negative effect of newly settled immigrants on the wages of earlier immigrants.\nThe positive wage effects of immigration are weaker in countries with rigid labor markets, which may even experience some negative employment effects.\nIn some southern European countries, immigrants have been more concentrated among less educated workers.\nWhile the literature reports a range of wage effects of immigration, most estimates are small and, on average, essentially zero. Recent evidence shows that immigration is likely to boost firm productivity and the wages of native workers in the long run by stimulating firm growth and contributing a range of skills and ideas. More open immigration policies, which allow for balanced entry of immigrants of different education and skill levels, are likely to have no adverse effects on native workers\u2019 wages and may pave the way for productivity growth.\nimmigration, wages, productivity, complementarity, skills, wage distribution, dynamic adjustments\nBlau, F., Kahn, L.

        "raw_content": "vival...\nWhat are your favorite underrated books that people should know about?\nDo you have a favorite book that only a few people know but you think, \"this should be popular\"? My underrated book is Karmic Hearts by Jhing Bautista, the story revolves around Karmina who is tired of living the same life every day and one day she wished on the wishing well. The next day, she started to see red, gold, black strings on the people's fingertips and it is connected to a certain person. She is now declared as a matchmaker. She needed to put five pairs of hearts in a jar for one year or else she needs to be alone in her whole life to be a matchmaker. Cupid, the god of love will be her guide to this peculiar job.\nMy underrated book would be \"Mr. Penumbra's 24-hour Bookstore.\"\nIt's one of those intellectual yet funny books. I like that it has a posh yet casual voice for the narrator. It's about an unemployed guy getting hired as a bookkeeper or librarian. He meets the wise yet childlike Mr. Penumbra who takes a liking to him upon realizing his potential for great things.\nThere's a mystery regarding a secret society that could hold the secret to immortality. I'll leave it at that.\nvivalavanda 0\nOhhh. The Title is so interesting, I might give it a try. Thank you.\nYes, it's very interesting. That was also part of why I read the book. It's always been a curious thing to read such titles. Especially, those with libraries as their main setting.\nThis book sounds interesting, especially because I love a good mystery and I prefer when the tone is not too serious or not a pure comedy. Thanks for the recommendation.\nYou're welcome. It's actually a pretty decent book. But I would say that it could've had a better ending. Nonetheless, it was honest and realistic.\nMy underrated book would be Fourth dimension by Paul Yonggi Cho. In this book he shares about his life experiences. If only many people could read this book, I believe many lives will be changed.\nThe title of my favorite underrated book is \"Pearls of Wisdom\". I have actually forgotten the name of its author but this book is so priceless to me till date because of the immense assistance it has given me. I made it a point of duty to always pick out one word of wisdom and apply it to my daily life program. This helps me to keep focus and not lose sight on what I set out to achieve that very day.\nWisdom is something that we can't just do without in life and the book that talks about wisdom is one that we should be looking at having as well. I have noticed that life is all about the need to understand the need for us to live a life which is based on wisdom for that will take us far in life.\nAdesuwa08 1\nI like reading underrated books even more than the critically acclaimed ones, there are other people out there that got all it takes to win a noble book price for their works, but they aren't noticed. There are just so much of them I have read and I don't want to be bias about who to pick,\" the book of nothing\" is one of my favorites it takes you into the journey's of a man searching for self discovery. I have forgotten the author's name but you can download if for free online, check it out.\nThere are underrated books of Cory Doctorow, there like six of them maybe not with titles like \"I,Robert\" and much more are free online too, I recommend them you will just be amazed and get more informed.\nThat's the problem when you enter in the writing world. There are so many books out there that are far better than the overrated books right now in the market. They're just not noticed because of certain things such as lack of advertisements and exposure. Anyway, I would try to read your recommendation. Thank you.\nThat sounds so cool. I like books with mysterious titles. Self-discovery is such a compelling topic. So I'll definitely check that out. It seems like many great authors remain undiscovered.\nThis is both the sad yet fascinating thing about literature. The truly great don't stand out unless someone points it out. And those that do know them prefer to keep to themselves. Because they regard it as a personal treasure. Like a great secret to keep.\nIt's simply dependent on what we call underrated books for there are always many books that we can't say that they are not popular, but can't say they lack value. One thing that I always ensure that I do is get information about such type of book. I'm a big fan of Sam Adeyemi and reading his book on success is one that I can read over and over again.\nCan you please recommend any particular book written by Sam Adeyemi. I have heard so many about his work and I'm itching to have one that would be worth reading. So please, if there is any particular one that is good enough which you have read, I would like to take a look at it as well.\n\"The true leadership\" is one of his works and I learnt so much by reading how he took out time to explain the best ways that you are going to have a good time by working on yourself, so that people will understand the benefits of being a true leader. This is one aspect of life that we should all be aspiring to get better at.\nFor me, it would have to be the biography of Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The book was just amazing and it would be great for any football (or Soccer to you Americans) fans. The biography states everything from his youth to his days at some of the biggest football clubs in the world. It's such a good book and I have to say it was a great read. If anyone here knows Zlatan, they know how much of a fighter he is and how crazy he is. That book details everything amazing about him.\nI think that anybody that has ever kept up with football in the recent years will know who Zlatan Ibrahimovi? is. He's a true legend and insanely talented player. A friend of mine actually met him in real life once and even took a picture next to him. He said that he's such a relaxed and down to earth guy.\nRegarding his book, I haven't read it yet but I have been intrigued when I saw it advertised. I might pick it up since you're saying that it's great.\nI'm not surprised, to be honest. Watching a few of his interviews and just him on the pitch as well, he just looks relaxed whenever. I wouldn't really say that he was a down to earth guy because he does love to big himself up. I mean he considers himself a lion and once said he didn't get his wife anything for her birthday since she already had him\nI do meditation a lot and there's this small book which has a tremendous effect on me, it change my whole perception of things.\nThe title of the book is How to Meditate and its author is Lawrence Le Shan.\nIt's a short book, simple to understand and quite straight forward. The views of the author was attained through experience. It basically details the shortcuts and correct procedures of meditation in layman's terms.\nJust be careful when practicing the methods discussed in the book. It's too effective.\n\"I do meditation a lot and there's this small book which has a tremendous effect on me, it change my whole perception of things.\"\nI myself am very much into meditation as well, so I'm glad to see a fellow meditator on here! I started off practicing meditation by reading the book Meditation for Beginners by Jack Kornfield. He is a fantastic writer, and a lovely speaker as well. I listened to several of his dharma talks and audio books, and I've learned a heck of a lot from him. Of course I'm always looking to learn more, so I'm going to check out this How to Meditate book as well.\nI honestly have more use from this thread than you'll have from me, because I'm such a mainstream reader it's terrible. The only novels I have ever read were ones that gained ridiculous mainstream popularity, such as A Song of Ice and Fire, Harry Potter, and the Lord of the Rings. If there was a movie adaptation of it, I probably read it. That being said, the lesser known books I've read are usually informative or self-help related, my favorite being The Wise Heart by Jack Kornfield. It's a lovely book which describes utilizing Buddhist psychology to live a more peaceful, meaningful life.\nIt's okay. I'm also like that in some ways. I remember reading Harry Potter just like any other person. It's hard to escape mainstream media. That's why it's called that. Everyone seems to like it. We all read popular books like The Hunger Games.\nMy favorite underrated book is Hate List by Jennifer Brown. That's a very nice story which I am sure people from all ages will love. This book is packed with emotions. I will recommend this book to anyone.\nMy favorite underrated book is the Year of Yes by Shonda Rhimes. Shonda is the creator of four shows that show on ABC, USA. It's a book about a shy writer that realizes with all her sucess she owes it to herself to be more confident and have fun. I love, love this book and I don't think that's it's given enough attention.Her main message is that you may be successful , but you still need to grow as a person or you will still be unhappy. Money doesn't buy happiness.This book stresses the need for continued self growth no matter where you are in life.\nanahbello1206 0\nMy favorite underrated book would be \"the girl in red\". The story itself is sad, full of emotions and insights on how hard it is to be abandoned by your family and loves ones but amidst all that adversities that she is facing she find a lover who she thought loved her very much. Unfortunately, there comes the twist of the story which, I personally think makes the story exciting.\nI don't know if The Art of War by the military genius is Sun Tzu is underrated or not I just know that very few people nowadays knows about it.\nThis is the best strategy book ever created. It emphasizes the use of speed, misdirection and surprise in defeating ones enemy.\nI'm quite familiar with The Art of War, as a lot of other sources of media often quote Sun Tzu from his work. The thing is though, is The Art of War worth the read for the average person? Most of us aren't exactly political leaders or wartime generals, so I wonder if there is any knowledge to be gained for the average person. Could the book be applied to daily life and interactions with other people?\nIf nothing else, I suppose it would be a good read for historical purposes.\nZechariah Sitchins book titled \"When Time Began\" is a little known book which is a part of the Earth Chronicles series.\nIt's all about the historical account of time and when was it first used. This book answers all the things one should know about Time.\nNotTheSinger 0\nThomas Sterner\u2019s The Practicing Mind for sure.\nI've only read it recently, but I can\u2019t help to appreciate the massive effect its already had on my life. It takes a good look on the sort perspective that you need to have productive practice sessions that leave you less stressed, less worried, and less inconsistent.\nI've found that it\u2019s much more difficult to be anxious or angry for very with this new mindset. You can really take it and apply it more generally to all aspects in your life.\nI personally like Machine of Death, but it's a collection of short stories concerning one concept, which is living in a world where there is a machine that can tell you how you will die. The stories are funny and interesting, and you could read one story at a time.\nI like to read Tao Te Ching this is written by Lao Tzu the taoist monk and translated into English version. This is all about the creation of the world the principles of life and nature. I like it very much because his teachings is written in a poem like phrase and can be applicable to everything. His words and teachings became the philosophical basis of Taoism. Most people except Chinese is not interested in this kind of belief.\nWell, I don't know if the books I will tell you about are underrated, but I do love them. If you want to read some medical/science thrillers, then go find Robin Cook's books. This author is a physician, who became a writer, and he does a wonderful job. I've read some of his books: Fever, Acceptable Risk, Coma, and they got me excited the whole time. He details every single move, experiment, body change, and if you're also in the medical field, then you will appreciate it and love it even more.\nI always read book on my way home while riding a public transportation. I read this book entitled The Weatherman by Steve Thayer. I got so much into the book that whenever I read it, I am like zoning out everything that is happening around me. It is about a serial killer who snaps the neck of his female victims whenever the season changes. Reading it makes you think who is doing all the killings.\nHave you guys heard of \"the river between\" its an African piece by an author by the name Ngugi wa Thion'go. It shows you the life of an African society way before colonialism and how they needed to adjust. I connect reading such history.\nI have read quite a few books which i feel are quite underrated like Bruce Lee's philosophical Masterpiece \"The Tao of Feet June Do\" and I-Ching which was called the first of the classics in the Han Dynasty. If you haven't read I-Ching which is also called The Book of Changes yet, then you're missing a lot.\nMy pick for my favorite underrated book is a small inexpensive paperback that's about a hundred pages. It's called \u201cNames of God\u201d.\nAll the books of Jules Verne. He made us dream of extraordinary trips, inside and outside the Earth. Verne brought us closer, with a genius of visionary, to inventions and scientific discoveries that would later reach our days. One of his books, \"Miguel Strogoff\", is not science fiction, but it is my favorite. It tells how Michael Strogoff, a young Siberian and post official of the czar of Russia, has to cross Siberia in full Tartar invasion of Russia, to warn about this attack, using all available means and trying to hide his identity to everyone that crosses his path.\n'What are your favorite underrated books that people should know about' is ranked 5 out of 5. Based on 2 user reviews.\nIs it good for the writers that the price of the books increases?\nWhat Ebooks Do You Perfer?\nWhat are some good topics for teens to write about?\nYour favorite forum niches to post on",

        "raw_content": "Serbia\u2019s PM Vu\u010di\u0107: Yet Another Populist Strongman?\nMarch 28, 2017 March 20, 2018 Aleksandar Vucic, Justine Doody, populism, Russia, Serbia\nBy Justine Doody\nSerbia\u2019s populist prime minister, Aleksandar Vu\u010di\u0107, will stand in elections on April 2 in a bid to become the country\u2019s third president since independence in 2006. Still hard-hit by the economic crisis in a country where income inequality is one of the highest in Europe, Vu\u010di\u0107\u2019s campaign may help him further consolidate power. But it remains to be seen whether his new role, should his bid be successful, will help him to steer his country away from new crises.\nThe presidential vote takes place against a backdrop of rising regional and domestic tensions. In neighboring Macedonia, the failure of last year\u2019s parliamentary elections to produce a functioning government has caused a crisis and inflamed tensions between the country\u2019s two largest ethnic groups.\nIn Montenegro, which is due to join NATO this year, a dramatic plot to kidnap or assassinate the country\u2019s prime minister created shockwaves when it was uncovered last October. While blame originally fell on Serb nationalists, prosecutors now plan to charge a Russian intelligence figure with the coup attempt, even as Russian President Vladimir Putin denies Moscow\u2019s involvement.\nClosest to home, tensions with Kosovo rose to dangerous levels in January. Kosovo declared independence from Serbia in 2008, but Serbia still considers it part of its territory and is blocking Kosovo\u2019s membership to the United Nations. When the Serbian government sent a train painted with the Serbian flag and the slogan \u201cKosovo is Serbia\u201d to the border in January, the Kosovar government responded by deploying special forces that prevented the train from entering Kosovo. Serbia\u2019s current president, Tomislav Nikoli\u0107, declared that Kosovo\u2019s response meant that its leaders had \u201cshowed they want war\u201d and that the two sides had come to \u201cthe brink of conflict.\u201d In Kosovo, leaders feared that Serbia was planning a Crimea-style annexation of the northern, Serb-populated part of the country.\nMeanwhile, relations have been further strained by the arrest of Kosovo\u2019s former prime minister, Ramush Haradinaj, in France on a Serbian warrant charging him with war crimes. The French court plans to rule on whether to extradite Haradinaj to Serbia on April 6.\nVu\u010di\u0107 is polling at 55 percent\nWith all this in mind, Vu\u010di\u0107 has chosen an interesting moment to relinquish parliamentary leadership in favor of what might be considered \u201cthe Putin model\u201d\u2014stepping down from the nominally more powerful role while retaining his hold on power. It remains unclear who will replace him as the analog to the compliant former Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, but Vu\u010di\u0107 is likely to replace his old mentor, Nikoli\u0107, as president; in late January, the Serbian prime minister was polling at 55 percent of the vote.\nAs prime minister, Vu\u010di\u0107 has presented himself as a strong leader, similar to other populist leaders across Europe, and his gambit may intend to increase his control, given that in the parliament, he presently depends on a coalition government to rule.\nWith his skill at saying the right things to the right people, the prime minister has managed to gain support from nationalists who value his past as Slobodan Milo\u0161evi\u0107\u2019s information minister, those who appreciate his pro-European orientation, and those who approve of his efforts to maintain Serbia\u2019s traditional friendship with Russia.\nIn addition, by increasing his dominance over the country\u2019s institutions, Vu\u010di\u0107 may be attempting to forestall any efforts by opposition figures to capitalize on dissent, most notably the series of ongoing mass anti-government protests, which began in 2016 over lack of transparency in Belgrade construction projects.\nPublic support for democracy in the country is waning. According to surveys conducted by the Center for the Study of Democracy and Elections and the National Democratic Institute, only 30 percent of Serbians believed that democracy is better than all other forms of government in 2014, down from 39 percent in 2007. Any attempts to consolidate power in the hands of the executive may not be met with much concern.\nThe Bertelsmann Stiftung\u2019s Transformation Index (BTI) analyzed in its latest Serbia report that \u201c[t]he level of public trust in the parliament, judiciary, and other democratic institutions is lower than the level of public trust in the church, armed forces, police, and some individual politicians. Presently, all public opinion polls suggest that Prime Minister Vu\u010di\u0107 enjoys more public confidence than any democratic institution.\u201d\nSerbia\u2019s best guarantor of peace: its people\nThe increasing tension with Kosovo, too, creates fertile conditions for a call for strong leadership. But the Kosovo situation has implications for Serbia\u2019s geopolitical context: With Russia jockeying for influence in the region, the EU striving to keep the country on a European path, and the U.S.\u2019s posture under its new president remaining unclear, Vu\u010di\u0107 has a difficult road to walk if he is to remain on the right side of all the major powers.\nThe EU is Serbia\u2019s main trading partner, and relations with Kosovo are a sticking point in Serbia\u2019s negotiations on EU membership. However, after Brexit and with German and French elections on the way, the EU has its own troubles right now, and further expansion is unlikely in the short and medium term.\nMeanwhile, the election of Donald Trump has thrown the U.S.\u2019s position as guarantor of peace in the Balkans into doubt. Some think that the nationalist U.S. president will refocus on America\u2019s domestic issues, or even bring the U.S.\u2019s stance closer to Russia\u2019s. However, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, seemed to contradict this, when she called for Kosovo to be admitted to the U.N. For the moment, nobody is quite sure who speaks for the U.S. on foreign policy.\nRussia, on the other hand, has increased its support of pro-Kremlin media activity in Serbia, with the aim of undermining support for EU accession, and continues to champion Serbia\u2019s refusal to recognize Kosovo. Furthermore, Russia has strengthened military cooperation with Serbia, although Serbian troops carry out far more military exercises with NATO than with Russia.\nOutside influences notwithstanding, the best chance that the conflict will not escalate may be the will of the people. A poll taken in January found that 74 percent of Serbians would not support a war to keep Kosovo in Serbia, and three-fourths of respondents were in favor of continuing EU-backed negotiations on normalizing relations with Kosovo\u2014even if only 8 percent were prepared to support Kosovo\u2019s independence.\nVu\u010di\u0107\u2019s success to date has been premised on rhetorically exalting Serbia\u2019s past, while negotiating the realities of the present in practice. Tensions may remain no more than that, as long as the international and domestic context makes peace more favorable than war.\nJustine Doody writes for the Bertelsmann Stiftung\u2019s BTI Blog and SGI News.\n[Photo courtesy of TANJUG]\nHow Purpose and Holistic Health are Foundational for Youth Career Development",

        "raw_content": "City faces fines one year after massive sewage leak at McKellar Lake\nPosted 7:09 pm, March 31, 2017, by Shay Arthur\nMEMPHIS, Tenn.-- Friday marks one year since some 350 million gallons of sewage contaminated McKellar Lake and Cypress Creek.\nIt cost the city of Memphis millions of dollars to fix and now WREG is learning that leak, plus another that was discovered on the Loosahatchie a few weeks later could cost the city more than half a million dollars in state fines.\nTenants at the Riverside Park Marina on McKellar Lake have also come together and said they are in class action litigation with the city.\nThey want to be compensated for the damages from the spill.\nOn Friday there was sunshine, clear skies and a light breeze. It was a perfect day to spend on the water.\n\"Come down here boat, fish, ski, swim, parasail,\" said Larry Stanley, owner of Riverside Park Marina.\nNot the case this time last year when hundreds of millions of gallons of sewage poured into the area for days on end while the city scrambled to fix the problem.\nIt didn`t just damage the ecosystem, Stanley has felt it too.\n\"There was no business, there was no business,\" he said.\nA year later, E. Coli levels are normal and Stanley is making improvements to his marina.\nAs we approach the summer season he`s staying positive but some 40 people involved in litigation who live and dock their boats off McKellar Lake say they aren`t pleased with how the city has treated them.\n\"Everything down here has sediment and staining from the sewage spill and it needs to be cleaned and the city has flatly refused to do it,\" said Gordon Grant, who docks his boat on the lake.\nThe city has been slapped with more than half a million dollars in fines from the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation. Including more than $40,000 for the thousands of fish that were killed.\nIn a statement a spokesperson with TDEC said in part, \"In addition to ensuring the city can prevent an event like this from happening again, we would prefer to work with the city to reinvest the penalty money from this incident back into Memphis for future projects designed to protect its environment and the health of its citizens.\"\nWhen we asked the city public works department about the fines they told us they knew the fines were coming telling us, '\"Any fines and penalties that the city ultimately agrees to pay TDEC in response to the order will be paid for entirely from the sewer fund and absolutely no general fund money will be used. The city is currently reviewing the order and reserves the right to appeal this matter, including any civil penalties.\"\nHowever Grant, called a fines a slap on the wrist and thinks more should be done.\n\"That means virtually nothing. It should`ve been a $10 million fine. This was negligence,\" he said.\nGrant says the tenants at the marina are in the mediation point of their litigation. There is no word for when they could come to an agreement.\nAnother point from the city made is that they said they worked 24/7 as soon as the problem was detected and they`re committed to sound engineering practices to protect the city.",

        "raw_content": "OCTOBER 30, 1938: JUST ME AND MY RADIO\nJUST ME AND MY RADIO\nIt\u2019s easy from the comfort of our 21st century recliners to dismiss the mass hysteria of an earlier generation as so many Chicken Littles or Turkey Lurkeys, afraid of their own shadows. We\u2019ve seen it all, any horror one can imagine, right there on the screen in front of us, and should it become too squirmy, well we can always just hit a button. The remote is there to protect us.\nBut what if you were at home, alone perhaps, on that October night back in 1938. It\u2019s dark out; Halloween and all its spookiness is just a day away. But there\u2019s the radio to keep you company. Like millions of other Americans, you\u2019ll tune in to Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy. That should lighten up a dark night. They finish their comedy routine at ten after eight. A singer you\u2019ve never heard of follows so, like millions of Americans, you surf the radio stations (Wasn\u2019t there supposed to be a dramatic program on?) pausing to hear an unenthusiastic announcer: \u201c. . . the Meridian Room in the Hotel Park Plaza in downtown New York, where you will be entertained by the music of Ramon Raquello and his orchestra.\u201d You listen for a minute; it\u2019s not that great. You\u2019re all set to surf again when the announcer interrupts, reporting that a Professor Farrell of the Mount Jenning Observatory has detected explosions on the planet Mars. The music returns, but only for a minute. The announcer is back with the news that a large meteor has crashed into a farmer\u2019s field in Grovers Mills, New Jersey.\nNow your ears are glued to the radio, as announcement after announcement confirms the impossible \u2013 a Martian invasion. \u201cGood heavens, something\u2019s wriggling out of the shadow like a gray snake. Now here\u2019s another and another one and another one. They look like tentacles to me \u2026 I can see the thing\u2019s body now. It\u2019s large, large as a bear. It glistens like wet leather. But that face, it\u2026 it \u2026 ladies and gentlemen, it\u2019s indescribable. I can hardly force myself to keep looking at it, it\u2019s so awful. The eyes are black and gleam like a serpent. The mouth is kind of V-shaped with saliva dripping from its rimless lips that seem to quiver and pulsate.\u201d\nNow\u2019s the time to surf the radio. If you do, you\u2019ll quickly realize that everything is normal on other radio stations, that you\u2019ve been listening to a realistic but fictional radio drama. But if you don\u2019t, chances are you\u2019ll join the thousands of people jamming highways, trying to flee the alien invasion.\nOrson Welles was just 23 years old when his Mercury Theater company broadcast its update of H.G. Wells\u2019 War of the Worlds with no idea of the uproar it would cause. He employed sophisticated sound effects and top notch acting to make the story believable.\nAnd believed it was. In Indianapolis, a woman ran into a church where evening services were being held, yelling: \u201cNew York has been destroyed! It\u2019s the end of the world! Go home and prepare to die!\u201d\nWhen the actors got wind of the panic, Welles went on the air as himself to remind listeners that it was just fiction. Afterward, he feared that the incident would ruin his career, but three years later he was in Hollywood working on Citizen Kane.\nOCTOBER 26, 2010: WELL-ARMED SOOTHSAYER\nWELL-ARMED SOOTHSAYER\nPaul the Oracle was somewhat of a child prodigy, demonstrating a marked intelligence right from the get-go. \u201cThere was something about the way he looked at our visitors,\u201d said the adult in Paul\u2019s early life. \u201cIt was so unusual, so we tried to find out what his special talents were.\u201d\nPaul was hatched from an egg at the Sea Life Centre in Weymouth, England, then moved to his permanent home, a tank at a center in Oberhausen, Germany. Paul took his name from a German children\u2019s poem, Der Tintenfisch Paul Oktopus. He quickly became a celebrity by virtue of his divination of the outcome of international football matches, choosing the winners through a stratagem typical of German engineering in its complexity \u2014 picking boxes of oysters emblazoned with competing nations\u2019 flags.\nOctopuses are some of the most intelligent of invertebrates, with complex thought processes, memory, and different personalities (good octopus, bad octopus). They can use simple tools, learn through observation, and are particularly sensitive to pain. This according to PETA, the animal rights group. PETA argued that it was cruel to keep Paul in permanent confinement. Sea Life Centres contended that releasing him would be dangerous, because being born in captivity, he was only accustomed to sitting around a tank, popping oysters and using a remote, not fending for himself.\nPaul\u2019s accurate choices for the 2010 World Cup, broadcast live on German television, made him a star. Paul predicted the winners of each of seven matches that the German team played, against Australia, Serbia, Ghana, England, Argentina, Spain, and Uruguay. His prediction that Argentina would lose prompted Argentine chef Nicolas Bedorrou to post an octopus recipe on Facebook.\n\u201cThere are always people who want to eat our octopus,\u201d said Paul\u2019s keeper. \u201cHe will survive.\u201d\nPaul\u2019s correct prediction of the outcome of the semi-final, with Germany losing to Spain, led to death threats. Spain\u2019s prime minister offered to give Paul safe haven in Spain.\nPaul died on October 26, 2010, at the age of two-and-a-half, a normal lifespan for an octopus. German attempts to find other oracles have never fared well. The animals at the Chemnitz Zoo were wrong on all their predictions. Leon the porcupine incorrectly picked Australia, Petty the pygmy hippopotamus failed to be swayed by Serbia\u2019s pile of hay topped with apples , and Anton the tamarin mistakenly ate a raisin representing Ghana.\nThe E-ri-e Was Arisin\u2019\nBack at the beginning of the 19th century, shipping goods from one end of New York to the other was a costly and cumbersome. There was no railroad, no trucking, no Thruway \u2014 just a two-week ordeal by stagecoach to get from New York City to Buffalo. The New York State Legislature leaped into this transportation breach. They proposed and Governor DeWitt Clinton enthusiastically endorsed a proposal to build a canal from Buffalo, at the eastern point of Lake Erie, to Albany, and the Hudson River. By 1817, they had authorized $7 million for the construction of what would laughingly be referred to as Clinton\u2019s Ditch, 363 miles long, 40 feet wide, and four feet deep.\nWork began in August 1823. Teams of oxen plowed the ground, and Irish workers did the digging, using only basic hand tools. It was a lot of work for $10 a month, but officials cleverly left barrels of whiskey alsong the route as an added inducement.\nGovernor Clinton opened the 425-mile Erie Canal on October 26, 1825, sailing from Buffalo in the Seneca Chief. News of his departure was relayed to New York City by cannons placed along the entire length of the canal and river, each within hearing distance of the next cannon. The firing of each signaled the next to fire. It took 81 minutes to get the word to New York\u2014 the fastest communication the world had yet known. Clinton arrived in New York on September 4, where he ceremoniously emptied a barrel of Lake Erie water into the Atlantic Ocean \u2014 the \u201cMarriage of the Waters\u201d of the Great Lakes and the Atlantic.\nThe canal put New York on the map as the Empire State, transformed New York City into the nation\u2019s principal seaport, and opened the interior of North America to settlement. It has been in continuous operation longer than any other constructed transportation system on the North American continent.\nOCTOBER 25, 1642: MEDICINAL WONDERS OF BRANDY\nMEDICINAL WONDERS OF BRANDY\nSir Hugh Ackland of Devonshire in England was seized with a violent fever, and having apparently died during that afternoon of October 25, 1642, was laid out as dead. A nurse and two footmen were assigned to sit up through the night to watch his corpse, lest it be stolen. Lady Ackland sent the night watchers a bottle of brandy to add a little cheer to an otherwise dreary task. One of the footmen, a bit of a rogue, said to the others: \u201cThe Master dearly loved brandy when he was alive, and now, though he is dead, I am determined he shall have a glass with us.\u201d The footman then poured out a glass and forced it down Sir Hugh\u2019s throat. The corpse immediately made a deep gurgling noise, and its neck and chest shook violently. In a panic, the watchers rushed downstairs, the footmen stumbling and rolling head-over-heels, the nurse screaming in terror.\nThe noise awakened a young gentleman who was sleeping in the house. He immediately jumped out of bed and raced up to the room where the body lay. There, he found Sir Hugh\u2019s corpse sitting upright with a look of confusion on his face. The young man summoned the servants and ordered them to place their master in a warm bed. He then sent for Sir Hugh\u2019s medical attendants. Sir Hugh was restored to perfect health, and lived many years afterward, recounting his strange story frequently enough that Lady Ackland regretted having sent up the bottle of brandy.\nThe footman received a handsome annuity.\nWell, dinner would have been splendid\u2026 if the wine had been as cold as the soup, the beef as rare as the service, the brandy as old as the fish, and the maid as willing as the Duchess. \u2014 Winston Churchill",

        "raw_content": "An SAT with Debut Author K.A. Barson\nIt\u2019s back to life as usual for yours truly, which means you guys get an interview today! Today\u2019s SAT guest is a fellow Lucky 13, author K.A. Barson. She graduated from Vermont College of Fine Arts with an MFA in Writing for Children and Young Adults. She can usually be found in her messy office sporting no make-up, bed head, and sweats. Her YA debut, 45 POUNDS, is about Ann, a sixteen-year-old girl who doesn\u2019t fit\u2014not in her blended family and certainly not in Snapz! clothes\u2014is convinced that if she could only lose 45 pounds, her life would be perfectly normal. She soon learns that is nothing perfect about normal. 45 POUNDS will be available from Viking Children\u2019s Books, Summer 2013.\nKB: I\u2019m both. I start with a plan, but it inevitably goes awry while writing. After I write a draft, I re-plan\u2014with better understanding of my characters and story\u2014and write again.\nKB: My first novel, which is really bad and hidden away, took about a month. Lately, it\u2019s taken a lot longer: between six months to a year for a draft. Revisions are another story. I haven\u2019t finished those yet, so as of now, they take forever.\nKB: I have several projects in various stages of completion, but in general, I focus on one at a time.\nKB: No, when I first sat down, I thought I could write anything. I was fearless and stupid. The fear didn\u2019t come until I realized how much I didn\u2019t know. Now I have to conquer it daily. What I wouldn\u2019t give for a few more fearless, stupid writing sessions!\nKB: About three. One will never come out of from the trunk. One will need to be dismantled, re-visioned, and started fresh\u2014someday. One is being revised right now. Another is newly revised and out on submission now.\nKB: Yes, once, but only because there was nowhere else to take it. It was a weird combo of fiction and non-fiction based on a family hobby. The potential audience was too small, the plot was weak, and the writing wasn\u2019t very good. Not much to work with, so I let go and focused on other things. I have other books that I\u2019ll come back to revise later with fresh eyes and better skills though.\nKB: Sara Crowe of Harvey Klinger, Inc. It\u2019s a pretty traditional story. I queried. She asked to read the full. A couple weeks later, she offered to represent me.\nKBL I queried two other agents and got rejected almost immediately. After six months of research and talking to people, I put Sara Crowe at the top of the list. When I revisited my query, I realized that I hadn\u2019t mentioned two really important things\u2014the title and what made it different from other books. I revamped and queried Sara exclusively because I really wanted to work with her.\nHowever, I queried a few agents years ago\u2014way before I should have\u2014with that now-and-forever-trunked piece. (I don\u2019t count those.)\nKBL Yes. Finding an agent or editor is like finding the perfect mate. You want someone who wants you as much as you want him/her. (Think Cheap Trick.) Don\u2019t just look for any agent. Look for the one who enthusiastically wants to rep you. If you get a rejection, don\u2019t take it personally; it only means that agent is not your match.\nIf you constantly get rejected at the query, the problem might be the query. If you get a lot of rejections on the work, take another look at it, and never submit until you\u2019ve had other readers\u2014the more brutal the better\u2014vet it first.\nFinally, don\u2019t give up. You might be one query away from a yes.\nKBL Since my book won\u2019t be out for over a year, I haven\u2019t done much yet. I joined a couple groups of other debut authors for support and group promotion and have participated in some blogs (like this one, for instance). I have a website, I\u2019m also on Twitter (@kabarson), Facebook, and Goodreads.\nKB: I built my initial website before the agent/book deal and am adding to it as I go.\nKB: I hope so. It definitely helps get the word out.\n\u2039 PreviousBook Talk \u2013 Book Pregnant Friday!",

        "raw_content": "Home / Blog / Useful Information about Paper Structure\nWriting a paper you must follow a specific structure. However, each freelancer understands how difficult it is to structure a paper. The ideas are numerous, but the inability to structure them appropriately may spoil everything. When you speak about any issue you must be logical as no one will understand you. When you write a paper, you must be sequential, each your sentence should support and extend the idea from the previous one. However, you cannot repeat the ideas.\nThere are numerous sources, which recommend you to use five paragraphs structure. However, this may be much more difficult to implement such idea than you may think. What does it mean a \u2018five paragraphs structure\u2019? Is it possible to create a perfectly structured paper without additional information? All these questions appear in your mind. This article may be helpful for you as I will try to be as simple as possible.\nFive Paragraphs Structure\nWriting a paper you should create the parallels. Why don\u2019t you think about a hamburger? An essay structure may be connected to its components. Here are the details.\nThe introduction is like an upper bun. It introduces the ideas, you write what the paper will be about and the seeds on this ban are like those ideas. You must remember about the thesis statement. It must be there as it explains the main information of what the paper will be about.\nThe first paragraph in the main body is like salad or onion. These components in the hamburger are very important as no taste will be without them. The first paragraph in the essay must have a topic sentence. It\u2019s like a specific taste of a product.\nThe second paragraph in the main body is like tomatoes. The topic sentence is necessary in this case as well. It\u2019s like explaining what a tomato is in a concise way. Further, the information in the essay paragraph should just support and extend the idea.\nThe third paragraph in the main body is like meat. This is a new paragraph, but it is nothing without the previous information. You must write a topic sentence as in previous parts.\nThe conclusion is like the bottom ban. It does not contain anything new, but the whole hamburger is nothing without it. The same is in the essay. The conclusion does not add any new information, it just summarizes what you have written, but the essay seems incomplete without it.\nCreating a hamburger, you should include all the components to make it tasty. Writing an essay, you must have all the paragraphs to make it interesting. Writing an essay, just keep in mind the picture of a hamburger and be sure to include all the parts in a five paragraphs essay.\nMany freelance writers strive to increase their customer base.

        "raw_content": "Prosecution rests in Trump's ex-campaign chief's trial\nProsecutors rested their case Monday afternoon in the trial against former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort.\nThis comes after 10 days of testimony from 27 witnesses. The defense has not indicated if it will call any witnesses to the stand.\nPrior to the prosecution resting, a bank official testified that the Federal Savings Bank gave Manafort $16 million in loans and knew that he lied about his financial situation before they were approved by the bank's chairman.\nJames Brennan, a vice president of Federal Savings Bank, said he faced so much pressure from his bank's chairman about Manafort's ability to borrow the $16 million that he lied on a form reviewed by federal regulators and the bank's directors about the stability of the loan.\n\"If I had my recommendation ... the loan would not be made,\" Brennan said in court Monday.\nBrennan, who wrote a memorandum about a second $6.5 million loan the bank extended to Manafort, said he had given the loan a rating of \"4.\" But in court Monday, he said he shouldn't have done that.\nA very stable, high-quality loan would get a rating of \"1,\" and any rating less than \"4\" wouldn't get approved and would draw regulators' attention because of its instability, he said.\nWhen asked by prosecutors why the loan received a 4 rating, Brennan said it was because of \"Mr. Calk,\" referring to the bank's founder, Stephen Calk.\n\"It closed because Mr. Calk wanted it to close,\" Brennan said, referring to one of the loans.\nLast week, the jury heard testimony that Calk approved the loans as he sought Manafort's help in getting a high-ranking position in the Trump administration.\nBrennan also said he and his colleagues documented their concerns about Manafort's personal finances. Information about Manafort's company's income, his unpaid debts from his Yankees season ticket and undisclosed mortgages on his other properties in New York raised red flags internally at the bank, he added.\nBrennan was the 27th prosecution witness to testify against Manafort in the first major test in court for special counsel Robert Mueller, who is currently leading an investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.\nManafort has been charged with 18 tax and banking crimes. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.\nProsecutors pulled up an email that Brennan sent to colleagues who sat on the bank's loan-approving committee in September 2016. The email detailed some of \"the issues we were having\" regarding one of Manafort's loan applications, Brennan said.\nBrennan also described how he asked Stephen Calk's brother, John Calk, another major Federal Savings Bank shareholder, to sign off on the loans to Manafort, but John Calk refused.\nIn all, the bank lost $11.8 million on the loans it made to Manafort, Brennan said.",

Transfers scheduled after 9:00 p.m. will be processed on the next calendar day.\nSecurity-Related Matters for Online Services.\nLog-In Security; Usernames and Passwords.\nSecurity is very important to the Online Banking system. At the time you request the Online Banking service, you will select a unique \u201cusername and password\u201d. The password must be eight (8) characters in length and contain one (1) alpha and one (1) numeric character. Special characters are allowed.\nBecause your password is used to access your accounts, you should treat it as you would any other confidential or private data. You should carefully select a password that is hard to guess. Keep your password safe. Memorize your password and never tell it to anyone. You should change your password periodically, such as every ninety (90) days. This can be done at any time after you log on from the \u201cAdministration\u201d menu. YOU SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD US HARMLESS FROM ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, LAWSUITS, LOSSES, COSTS, EXPENSES AND ATTORNEYS\u2019 FEES WE SUFFER OR INCUR BECAUSE OF OR RESULTING FROM YOUR PERMITTING OTHER PERSONS TO USE YOUR USERNAME AND PASSWORD TO ACCESS THE ONLINE BANKING SYSTEM.\nIn addition to the security measures described above, there may be other security notices posted on our Online Banking website regarding security issues. It is your responsibility to read all applicable notices. To help prevent unauthorized access and ensure the security of your accounts, we will end your Online Banking session if we have detected no activity for twenty (20) minutes. This is to protect you in case you accidentally leave your computer unattended after you log on. When you return to your computer, you will be prompted to re-enter your username and password.\nNo Signature Requirements. When any payment or other online service generates items to be charged to your account, you agree that we are permitted to debit the designated account, or the account on which the item is drawn, without requiring your signature on the item and without any notice to you.\nNotice of Your Rights and Liabilities with respect to Unauthorized Account Access. You must notify us IMMEDIATELY if you believe or have reason to believe your mobile device, username or password have been compromised, lost, stolen or used without your authorization. You could lose all the money in your account plus any other funds available to you through your account. Also, notify us IMMEDIATELY if your statement shows transfers that you did not make or authorize.\nYour Liability For Unauthorized Transactions And Transfers\nYou will not have the benefit of any consumer law limiting liability with respect to unauthorized transactions or transfers. This means your liability for unauthorized transactions and transfers could be greater than the liability in a consumer transaction. You accept and agree to undertake the additional risk and greater measure of liability associated with the use of your Online Banking account as described in this agreement. You agree that you are liable for transactions and transfers you do not authorize unless you can prove that we processed the transaction in bad faith or failed to act in accordance with commercially reasonable standards of the banking business. Reasonable care in the handling of items shall be measured by the standard of the reasonableness of the banking procedures established for the transaction involved. A mere inadvertence or an honest mistake of judgment will not constitute a failure to perform such obligations or a failure to exercise ordinary care, and in no case will be deemed wrongful.\nCooperation. You must assist us in any investigation concerning unauthorized transaction or transfer claims. Assistance may include, but is not limited to, providing all necessary information and identification concerning the claim. You may be requested to file a report with the local law enforcement agency. Failure to file a report will not cause your claim to be denied in and of itself.\nSecurity Procedures under the Agreement. Where required for any Service, the bank and the Company will agree in writing to one or more security procedures (\u201cSecurity Procedures\u201d) that must be used by the bank and the Company in connection with the Service(s). As part of the Security Procedures, the bank may employ various authentication technologies. The bank employs various security and authentication technologies to ensure that the Company is communicating directly with the bank. Such bank authentication procedures and technologies include, but are not limited to; use of the Company User IDs, passwords and other Additional Authentication Information that the bank may require the Company to provide at the bank\u2019s sole discretion. Such Additional Authentication Information may include security questions and responses and/or use of other hardware-based and software-based security and authentication tools, programs and procedures. The Company is responsible for the establishment and maintenance of its internal procedures reasonably adapted to insure the confidentiality and security of Security Procedures. THE COMPANY UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT IT WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING SECURITY AND CONTROL OVER ALL USER IDS AND PASSWORDS OF THE COMPANY\u2019S AUTHORIZED PARTIES, CONTACTS AND USERS, AND SHALL USE SECURITY FOR SUCH ITEMS COMPARABLE TO THE SECURITY AND CONTROL THE COMPANY WOULD USE FOR CASH OR A MECHANICAL CHECK-SIGNING MACHINE, BUT IN NO EVENT LESS THAN REASONABLE SECURITY AND CONTROL IN THE CIRCUMSTANCES. If the Company believes or has reason to believe that any Security Procedure has or may have become known by unauthorized persons, the Company shall immediately notify the bank by telephone and confirm such oral notification in writing to the bank within twenty-four (24) hours of the oral notification. The bank will replace the Security Procedures in accordance with the bank\u2019s standard security requirements related to the applicable Service(s). To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Company will be solely liable for all transactions, including funds transfer instructions and other communications, initiated before the bank has received such notification and has had a reasonable opportunity to act on such notification. The bank reserves the right to change any or all of the Security Procedures offered and/or used at any time by giving oral or written notice to the Company. The Company agrees that its use of the related Service(s) after the bank provides notice of such changes constitutes Company\u2019s acceptance of the new Security Procedures. The Company acknowledges that the purpose of Security Procedures is to authenticate the identity of the person initiating the action, not to detect errors in any transmission or content. The bank is not agreeing to any security or other procedures for the detection of errors. The Company represents that for the Service or Services it requests, it considers the Security Procedures to be commercially reasonable with respect to the size, type, and frequency of funds transfers it anticipates issuing and the information which will be transmitted.\nCompany\u2019s Data Security Obligations. With regard to obtaining any Services under this Agreement, the Company must comply with the computer hardware, software, and Security Procedures requirements as set forth by the bank. The bank reserves the right as encryption technology develops to impose further reasonable requirements to maintain the appropriate level of security for the Services and transactions contemplated hereunder and the Company agrees to abide by such requirements. Furthermore, the Company understands and acknowledges that if the Company does not follow commercially reasonable hardware, software, physical access and physical storage security procedures regarding any Company-owned data, including such data containing the sensitive personally identifiable information of any individual, the security of the Company\u2019s transactions and/or Company-owned data, including sensitive personally identifiable information, may be compromised. The Company understands, acknowledges and agrees that installation, maintenance and operation of the Company\u2019s computer hardware and software and related security procedures, including, but not limited to, data security protection, firewalls and anti-virus software, is the Company\u2019s sole responsibility, and that the Company is solely responsible for securing, encrypting, protecting and otherwise safeguarding the Company-owned data.\nVirus/Malware Protection. We are not responsible for any electronic malware, virus or viruses that you may encounter. We encourage our customers to routinely scan their computers, mobile devices and external storage devices using a reliable virus and malware protection product to detect and remove any viruses or malware. Undetected or unrepaired viruses or malware may corrupt and destroy your programs, files and even your hardware. Additionally, you may unintentionally transmit the virus or malware to other computers, mobile devices or external storage drives.\nLinks. We have a number of links to other sites on our website. These are offered as a courtesy and a convenience. We assume no responsibility for the content, safety, security, or privacy of any such link or site or any transactions with respect thereto. If you have questions or concerns about any other site\u2019s policy regarding these matters, you should contact that site or its sponsor.\nStandards and Requirements for Using Online Banking.\nEnrollment Process. The Online Banking service requires you to complete the initial enrollment process by providing the information needed to enable the service.\nAccounts. You may request to be permitted to access any account on which you are an Owner or an Agent via Online Banking. If you desire services that allow you to initiate payments or transfers from the account(s), you will need the required withdrawal authority for the account(s) by completing the Commercial Online Services Access Authorization Request form to be able to complete the transaction. By using Online Banking, you agree to maintain one or more accounts with us and to keep sufficient balances in each account to cover any transactions and fees that are ultimately approved by or related to the system. If the accounts added to the service are jointly held or have multiple Agents, you agree that access to the information and all transactions initiated by the use of your username and password are authorized unless we have been notified to cancel the service.\nAuthorized Users. The \u201cAuthorized User\u201d is the person designated as such by you on your Commercial Online Services Access Authorization Request form. The Authorized User shall be authorized to use the Online Banking system solely for the Services requested by you and approved by First National Bank Texas/First Convenience Bank for your use. An Authorized User shall include any person whom you designate as an Authorized User on your Commercial Online Services Access Authorization Request form and any person later designated as such pursuant to a written request from an Owner or an Agent of the account delivered to First National Bank Texas/First Convenience Bank unless and until an Owner or an Agent of the account delivers a written request to First National Bank Texas/First Convenience Bank stating that such person shall be removed as an Authorized User. You may replace the Authorized User with another person by providing to First National Bank Texas/First Convenience Bank evidence sufficient, in First National Bank Texas/First Convenience Bank\u2019s sole discretion, to show that you have duly authorized such an action.\nFirst National Bank Texas/First Convenience Bank is authorized to rely on instructions received from and actions made by any person using the Online Banking username and password by any Authorized User. The instructions received from and actions taken by any person using such a username and password shall be deemed effective as if made by someone authorized to act on behalf of you. You agree to be responsible for any loss that results from such instructions that First National Bank Texas/First Convenience Bank receives from or other actions taken by such persons authorized to act on behalf of you, as if you had provided such instructions or had taken such actions.\nFees for the Online Banking Service. The Online Banking service is available to our customers at no charge. The Transfer feature and Account Alert feature are all optional services available at no charge.\nTermination of Online Banking. You may terminate the use of Online Banking by contacting us in writing by mail, email sent through the Online Banking website, or personal delivery to us. We may, in our discretion, cancel your access to Online Banking at any time without prior notice and without cause. You will remain responsible for all transactions approved via Online Banking prior to the cancellation of that feature and for any other fees associated with your use of Online Banking. If your account is closed or restricted for any reason, Online Banking accessibility will automatically terminate.\nOwnership of Material. We are a member of Fidelity Integrated Financial Solutions and the Online Banking system is a product of Fidelity Integrated Financial Solutions. Unauthorized reproduction in whole or part is prohibited.\nOnline Banking Features.\nBalance Inquiries and Transfer Limitations.\nYou may use Online Banking to check the balance of your accounts, transfer funds among your accounts. Savings and money market accounts are subject to federally regulated transaction limitations which dictate how many transactions may be completed within a monthly service charge period. Up to six (6) transfers (to include AccountTRANSFER Overdraft Protection transfers) are permitted to another account of yours at the bank or to a third party. These transfers may be by means of preauthorized or automatic transfer or telephone agreement. Transactions not within these limitations may result in the closure of your account. Additionally, you may visit the bank to withdraw funds, have us mail you a check payable to you or withdraw money at the ATM with your card. These are not third-party transactions and are not limited; however, normal transaction fees will apply. There are no limits to the number of transfers from accounts that are checking accounts.\nBalances shown in your accounts may include deposits subject to verification by us. The balance may also differ from your records due to deposits in progress, outstanding checks or other withdrawals, payments or charges. The balances are updated periodically and the system will display the most current \u201cas of\u201d date on the \u201caccounts\u201d summary page. There may be situations that cause a delay in an update of your balances. The Online Banking system will use the most current balance available at the time of a transaction to base our approval.\nSpecial Information About the Stop Payment, Check Reorders, Address Change, Order Documents and Secure Email Services.\nThe Online Banking system includes several menu options that provide a means to securely forward your request to us for processing. Generally, requests received from the Online Banking system will be processed within two (2) Business Days using procedures that would handle similar requests received by mail or fax. If urgent action is required, we recommend that you contact us directly by telephone or in person.\nThe Stop Payment feature is designed to submit a request to stop payment on checks you have written. We must be contacted to process ACH stop payment requests; they cannot be processed using the stop payment feature within Online Banking. There may be additional fees associated with some of these services.\nScheduling Transfers and Payment Authorization.\nOnce enrolled in Online Banking you may make one-time or recurring transfers at any time to any accounts on which you are an Owner or an Agent. Transfers are allowed up to the available balance in the \u201ctransfer from\u201d account. You may cancel a recurring transfer at any time through Online Banking. Transfers will be immediately debited from your account if processed before 9:00 p.m. (CT), and will be deposited into the transfer to account. You authorize the bank to withdraw, debit or charge the necessary funds from your designated account in order to complete all of your designated transfers and payments. You agree that you will instruct us to make a withdrawal only when a sufficient balance is or will be available in your accounts at the time of the withdrawal.\nThe completion of a transfer or payment is subject to the availability of sufficient funds at the time the transaction is posted. If enough funds to complete the transfer or payment are not available, we may, in our discretion, refuse to complete the transaction.\nThe bank is under no obligation to inform you if it does not complete a payment or transfer because there are non-sufficient funds in your account to process the transaction. In this case, you are responsible for making alternate arrangements or rescheduling the payment or transfer within Online Banking.\nE-Statements.\nYou agree and understand that the bank may send the following communications in electronic form:\nLegal and regulatory disclosures and Communications associated with the account\nNotices or disclosures about changes to the terms of your accountPrivacy policies and noticesMonthly (or other periodic) billing or account statements (E-Statements) for your account or such other communication we may include from time to time.\nWe provide Mandatory and Voluntary Alerts (collectively, \u201cAlerts\u201d). Alerts can be accessed at any time.\nMandatory Alerts are sent to you following important account activities or when certain changes are made online to your Online Banking account, such as a change in your email address, password and transfer activities. You do not need to activate Mandatory Alerts. We automatically activate them for you. You will not have the ability to suppress these Mandatory Alerts.\nVoluntary Alerts must be activated by you. Voluntary Alerts can help you manage your accounts. We recommend that you set up Voluntary Alerts for important thresholds, particularly a low balance. Activate this important Alert by selecting \u201cBalance Alerts\u201d and place a dollar amount in the amount field that populates in the \u201cAvailable Balance Goes Below $\u201d alert screen. Other types of Voluntary Alerts are available, and you may select from among these options upon activation of your Voluntary Alerts service.\nBoth Mandatory and Voluntary Alerts are subject to the following:\nWe may add new Mandatory and Voluntary Alerts from time to time, or cancel old Alerts. We usually notify you when we cancel Alerts, but are not obligated to do so.\nAlerts will be sent to the email address or mobile phone number you provided as your contact information within Online Banking. If your email address or your mobile phone number changes, you are responsible for informing us of that change. Changes to your primary and secondary email addresses will apply to all of your Alerts. While the bank does not charge for the delivery of the Alerts, please be advised that text or data charges or rates may be imposed by your carrier.\nYou understand and agree that your Alerts may be delayed or prevented by a variety of factors. We neither guarantee the delivery nor the accuracy of the contents of any Alert. You also agree that we shall not be liable for any delays, failure to deliver, or misdirected delivery of any Alert, for any errors in the content of an Alert, or for any actions taken or not taken by you or any third party in reliance of an Alert.\nBecause Alerts are not encrypted, the bank will not systematically include your username, password or full account Number. However, you have the ability to set your account number as your account name within Online Banking. We do not recommend that you use your full account number as your account name. If you set your account name as your account number your account number will display on all email and text alerts that you have selected. Alerts may include your name and some information about your accounts. Depending upon which Alerts you select, information such as your account balance or recent transfer activities may be included. Anyone with access to your email or mobile device will be able to view the contents of these Alerts.\nACH Origination services may be accessed through Online Banking for an additional charge. You must also execute the ACH Origination Agreement in order to access these services.\nFinancial Review; Audit and Investigation. You understand that the bank may, in accordance with its internal operating policies, conduct reviews of your financial situation to determine the credit risk that you present to the bank with respect to your use of the Online Banking system in accordance with these Terms and Conditions. In connection with such reviews (which may include a review of your accounts with the bank), you agree that, upon the request of the bank, you shall provide the bank with your most recent quarterly and annual financial statements and/or federal and state income tax returns for review by the bank. Based upon such review the bank may, in its sole discretion, determine whether you remain eligible to use any or all of the Services, and if the bank so determines that you are not so eligible, then the bank may, in its sole discretion, and upon written notice to you, remove or suspend your access to any of the Services or terminate these Terms and Conditions immediately. In addition, upon the occurrence of any event of unauthorized use of any username or password of any Authorized User, or any other unauthorized access of one or more of your accounts, or any loss therefrom, You acknowledge and agree that the bank, itself or through its authorized representative(s), may, in its sole discretion (but shall have no obligation to), conduct an audit or investigation of your Online Banking practices, security procedures and protocols.

        "raw_content": "Eligibility of Divorced Daughter of Armed Forces Personnel for Grant of Family Pension\nAs per Ministry of Defence (MoD) letter of September 2015, presently only those children who are dependent and meet other conditions of eligibility for family pension at the time of death of the Government servant or his/her spouse, whichever is later, are eligible for family pension. Accordingly, divorced daughters who fulfil other conditions are eligible for family pension if a decree of divorce had been issued by the competent court during the life time of at least one of the parents.\nThe Government has been receiving grievances from various quarters that the divorce proceedings are a long drawn procedure which take many years before attaining finality. There are many cases in which the divorce proceedings of a daughter of a Government employee/pensioner had been instituted in the competent court during the life time of one or both but none was alive by the time the decree of divorce was granted by the competent authority.\nThe matter has been examined and it has been decided vide Ministry of Defence letter dated 17 November 2017 to grant family pension to a divorced daughter of Armed Forces personnel in such cases where the divorce proceedings has been filed in a competent court during the life time of the employee/pensioner or his/her spouse but divorce took place after their death \u2013 provided that the claimant fulfils all other conditions for grant of family pension. In such cases, the family pension will commence from the date of divorce.\nFiled Under: Defence Pension",

        "raw_content": "Muscat no fan of tight finish\nKevin Muscat hopes the nerve-wracking finish to his first match in charge of Melbourne Victory will not be an indication of things to come in the club's top job.\nArchie Thompson's opener and a James Troisi brace saw the Victory race into a 3-0 lead at home to Wellington Phoenix in what was Muscat's competitive debut as the full-time head coach following Ange Postecoglou's departure to the national team.\nAlthough the Phoenix got a goal back on 35 minutes, the game fizzled in the second half, and the hosts looked to be cruising to a straightforward win at Etihad Stadium.\nWellington substitute Paul Ifill had other ideas, making it 3-2 with six minutes to go and ensuring a nervy finish for the Victory and Muscat in particular.\n\"I don't want them like that every week to be honest,\" he joked afterwards.\n\"It started off, I thought 'this is pretty easy, this' after 30 minutes. But they gave us a good run for our money in the second half. There's things we need to go away and have a look at and work on, but ... there's loads of positives.\"\nMuscat is no stranger to successful outings in Victory colours, winning two A-League titles as a player and serving as assistant to Mehmet Durakovic, Jim Magilton and during Postecoglou's promising reboot of the club during the last 18 months.\nAlthough the 40-year-old admitted it felt different to bear the ultimate responsibility for the team's performance, he sought to move the spotlight quickly away from his personal circumstances.\n\"I suppose it does (feel) slightly (different),\" he said.\n\"But ultimately the football club receives three points. It's irrelevant if you're a player out there tonight, assistant coach or head coach. The football club receives three points. And when we go out we represent this football club.\n\"I thought ... that first half hour was as good a football as we have played (this season).\n\"There's obviously some things we've got to work on, but all in all, it's a good three points for us.\"\nOne man undeniably impressed by the home side was Wellington Phoenix coach Ernie Merrick, who knows a thing or two about making the navy blue and whites tick.\nWhen asked if the Victory can challenge for the title this season, the club's ex-manager said: \"Definitely.\n\"They've got a good team, they've been together for a while. They're playing fast, exciting football. They're pretty deadly up front. They'll certainly be a major challenge this year for any club. I expect them to do well in the finals, not only get there.\"\nNext up for Muscat and the Victory is a 'Big Blue' clash against traditional rivals Sydney FC, who have lost their last three games, with speculation mounting over Frank Farina's future as their coach.\nThe new man in charge of the Victory claimed to have little interest in the uncertainty surrounding the Sky Blues, but vowed to do everything possible to increase their discomfort.\n\"I don't know what their state is but I certainly know what our state will be,\" Muscat said.\n\"We'll certainly be ready for them.\"",

        "raw_content": "Trapped in one of the world's deepest caves\nSunday 26 August 2018 7:45AM (view full episode)\nImage: Many of the world's caves are yet to be fully mapped (Unsplash: Le Tan)\nYou're a kilometre into an intricate network of caves and the water is rising fast \u2026 what next?\nThat's the situation Dr Andreas Klocker found himself in during his last cave-diving expedition. He reflects on the allure and danger of the planet's cave systems.\nDr Andreas Klocker\nPhysical Oceanographer, University of Tasmania\nRobyn Williams: What kind of experience gives you nightmares? Falling out of a plane? Fire near your home? A frightening prognosis? But what about an experience you go to willingly?\nThis one you're about to hear gives me the screaming ab dabs. Going deep into a cave, crawling through narrow passages through which you barely fit, and hearing flooding water streaming towards you. Think young soccer team in Thailand.\nBut Andreas Klocker from the University of Tasmania does all this for fun and enlightenment. Here he is at the Museum in Hobart explaining why.\nAndreas Klocker: Quite exactly a decade ago I became obsessed with cave exploration, actually here in Tasmania. People keep on asking me the same question \u2013 why? Why would I spend much of my free time in impenetrable and absolute darkness in a wet, cold environment. And then, on my annual leave, you repeat the same again, but in countries far away and for weeks on end.\nThe short answer is \u2013 I\u2019m just curious. In my day job I\u2019m an oceanographer. Not the sort of oceanographer most people think of who spends much of their time at sea, dropping instruments off the side of a ship. I spend much of my time in a cubicle, using the number-crunching power of one of the world\u2019s fastest supercomputers to simulate the ocean\u2019s circulation. That way you can do exciting science without ever having to leave your desk longer than it takes to walk to the nearest coffee machine.\nThis is very different to the science and exploration done in caves \u2013 challenging my curiosity in a very different sort of way! Just think of it from an exploration point of view. When you want to discover new places in the 21st century, you are largely confined to the exploration of the ocean floor and the subterranean depths of cave systems. And while advances in autonomous mapping have opened up even the deepest ocean trenches \u2013 just send an ocean glider with a camera \u2013 there's no technique like that to actually explore caves, and so the only way you have to explore those caves is good ol' human manual exploration. If you find out what's there, you actually go yourself to have a look.\nSo what is a cave in the first place? A cave system comprises a complex web of interconnected passages, rooms, squeezes, canyons and rifts. Caves are formed when water flows through tiny cracks in the rock, slowly dissolving away the limestone beneath the Earth\u2019s surface, creating underground rivers. When a cave fully becomes submerged with water, and you can only get through with dive gear, it's a place we call a sump. Once described by eminent cave explorers as \u201cGod's way of telling you the cave ends there\u201d! And that\u2019s where many explorers stopped, and went back home, and said \u2013 cave ended.\nAny science done in caves is inherently tied to the exploration because there is only so much we can do to understand these complex systems from the surface. Without actually going in to the cave, we can't document the cave, we can't map the cave, or take samples. We would not even know where caves exist. I mean, in 1953 we stood on top of the world, on Mt. Everest, and in 1969 we landed on the moon, and in 2018 we're still looking for the bottom of the world. Nevertheless, some of the most recent and interesting scientific discoveries in caves have been a prelude to exploration, for example antibiotic resistant microbes in Lechuguilla Cave in the US, or ancient archaeology in the caves in Yucatan.\nOne of the scientific methods we can use in caves to understand things like the formation of caves and the flow paths of underground rivers, is dye-tracing. Dye tracing is the use of non-toxic dye mixed with water and coconut charcoal receptors to capture the dye. It's literally like throwing a big bucket of coloured water into the top of the cave to see where it re-emerges. The limitation of this method is that you can't observe the underground - just predict what happens. But if you combine the scientific method with the exploration, monitoring the flow of the water and dye, we can enhance our understanding of these complex cave systems.\nTracing the flow paths of a major cave system was one of the main goals I, and 23 other experienced cave explorers, set out to do earlier this year. The cave system we aimed to study is known as Sistema Huautla. Sistema Huautla is a very complex cave system. It's 1.5 kilometres deep, with more than 80 kilometres and 25 entrances. Our goal was to understand if, and how, a close-by cave system known as the Cueva de la Pena Colorada, is connected to Sistema Huautla. In particular, it's hypothesised that the seventh sump in this cave, five kilometres into the mountain, is where the underground river disappearing at the bottom of Sistema Huautla, is first seen again.\nThe only way for us to test this hypothesis was to travel to Sump 7 to, on the one hand pour a dye into the sump to see where it re-emerges, and on the other hand send divers into the sump who then continue the exploration and mapping of this cave. Putting those two bits of information together, we can hopefully test our hypothesis.\nTo achieve this we had to travel 5km into the cave, dive through six sumps, those places we can only get through with diving, and continue exploration in Sump 7 - the end of the current cave map as we know it. To travel this distance, both above and below water, and taking into account the limits of human endurance, we used two underground camps, similar to the staged camps mountaineers use to ascend some of the world\u2019s highest peaks. Multiple camps where you work yourself to a first camp, then second camp, to actually get to the summit. Similar works, upside down, in the cave system. It took us three weeks until we shuttled enough gear to Sump 7 to start with our exploration and science efforts.\nSo after three weeks we were finally at the point where the first two divers, my close friends Chris Jewell and Connor Roe from the UK, started exploring Sump 7. At that point in time it had been 34 years since the last explorers were there, years after we had been dreaming about this sump, it was finally time to find out where this sump was actually going. On the one hand we were very excited, on the other hand we were very nervous, because we put so much effort into getting there that we really did not want to mess up. Sadly, this excitement soon turned to disappointment when Chris and Connor started their first dive, and after navigating a tricky part of Sump 7 came to a dead end, where a pile of collapsed boulders blocked the way on. There was no way past. Very devastating.\nThis was bad news for our expedition and he long-hoped for connection between the Cueva de la Pena Colorada and Sistema Huautla suddenly fell to pieces. Nevertheless, a week later my caving buddy Zeb and I went back to Sump 7 to give it another go - maybe Chris and Connor just missed the way on! Sadly though, both Zeb and I were stopped by the same rock collapse. At this point I was in the cave for eight days, eight days of no sunlight, and I can guarantee you you're ready for some surface time and a good cold beer, and some sunshine by that point in time.\nSo the next day we started lugging gear out of the cave. I was carrying gear alone in an area known as the Grand Lagoon deep inside the system when the silence was suddenly broken by a deafening noise as if giant water turbines suddenly had been turned on. Normally caves, you hardly hear anything, and it suddenly changed. The only explanation for the noise was that an unexpected downpour on the surface was rapidly filling up the cave system. So I got a bit nervous. I pretty much ran towards where the others were working. And when I arrived there Zeb was just coming up a rope which was hanging above a vertical drop above the next sump, who immediately told me that the water level in Sump 3 had just come up by almost a metre. Putting those two bits of information together \u2013 the deafening noise in the cave and the water levels coming up in the cave \u2013 you know you've got a problem.\nWe decided to make a dash to safety, all six of us still in the cave, further into the cave to an area known as the Whacking Great Chamber \u2013 it's cathedral-sized, it's about a hundred metres tall, and we knew the water wasn't going to come up all the way. At least we'll be safe from drowning. On the way there the water levels were rising quickly and by the time we got there, at the lowest point, we had about 10 centimetres of air space left between the water and the rock ceiling. One of our lucky days.\nWhile we were safe in this vast chamber, we also were a kilometre from our exit. We had four granola bars between the six of us, the wetsuits we were wearing, and one space blanket. Not a lot. The gravity of the situation soon sank in and privately we all started asking ourselves some daunting questions. \u2018What if the water keeps rising?\u2019 \u2018When, and how fast will it drop?\u2019 \u2018Will someone from the outside come rescue us?\u2019.\nLuckily, 69 hours later, almost three days after, once the water level had dropped substantially, Mirek, one of our team who was stuck with us in the cave, was brave enough to dive through the remaining water-filled passage, holding his breath for about 20 metres to the other side, where he found some dive gear coming back so we could all escape the cave. Happy and tired, we finally made it back to our field house 11 days after we left there.\nWe definitely learned a lot from this expedition. Sump 7 was a dead end, and from the water marks left in the cave it looks like the water that locked us into the cave for nearly three days is an overflow from the Pena Colorada Canyon located just above the cave, rather than the old hypothesis that this water in Sump 7 is part of the active underground river from Sistema Huautla. And the dye we poured into Sump 7, just before the flood, unexpectedly appeared in several different resurgences in the Santo Domingo Canyon. This shows how all those different caves are interconnected in a very complex way. In the end, after this year\u2019s expedition, we are now a step further towards understanding the flow pattern of this complex cave system which will help us understand how these caves have formed. We definitely solved a small piece of the puzzle, but have many more to go.\nIn hindsight, we were also very lucky during the flood on this expedition. The flood gave us the unique opportunity to trace the underground river in conditions which usually only occur in the wet season, when nobody can access these caves. And on the other hand, as opposed to the recent flood in a Thailand cave which many of you would have followed in the media, which trapped the kids and coach of the Wild Boars football team, the water levels in the Pena Colorada receded quick enough that after nearly three days we could escape without rescue from the outside world. Nevertheless, both floods show how fast the water can rise in caves, and suprise both experienced caves and beginners alike.\nRobyn Williams: Brave man.

        "raw_content": "August 17, 2015 by Stephen Koukoulas\nAny analysis that does not take account of the level of interest rates in the measurement of housing affordability is flawed.\nIn a very simple stylised example, is a $500,000 house with a $400,000 mortgage more affordable if the mortgage interest rate is five percent or eight percent? The answer is, of course, rather straightforward. The annual interest cost with a five percent mortgage interest rate is $20,000 while an eight percent interest rate sees the annual interest payments jump to $32,000. That $12,000 a year difference is substantial and is clearly a factor when potential borrowers are looking to take out a loan. Blind Freddie can see that a decision to borrow money and buy a house is hugely enhanced in a low interest rate climate versus one where interest rates are high. Those who exclude interest rates for their assessments of housing affordability do so on the truism that interest rates will likely change over the course of a 25-year mortgage. At the present time, when interest rates are skating at a record low, the general premise is that interest rates will on average be higher than today. This seems a fair assumption, but given the forecasting record of most analysts, it is far from certain that interest rates will be much higher than today, if at all, for many years to come. Indeed, some of those with the loudest and shrillest voices on affordability were, just a few years ago, forecasting official interest rates more than double what they are today. And if interest rates do go up in time, it is likely that house price growth will moderate as affordability deteriorates. The analysis of affordability also often ignores the affordability-enhancing effect of household income growth. Most people have higher incomes over time, in part through regular pay increases and through promotions and more responsibility as they gain experience and expertise. Even in the current economic climate of entrenched sub-trend growth and an associated weak labour market, household disposable income growth is rising at around four per cent per annum. Unless there is a recession or something similar in Australia in the next few years, household income growth is likely to rise by a similar four percent annual pace for many years to come. Assuming in the example above, the household disposable income of those taking out the $400,000 mortgage on the $500,000 house was $100,000 when the purchase was made, five years from now, the annual income of that household is likely to be in the order of $120,000. So, even if none of the $400,000 initial loan has been paid off, and that house price growth has been zero, the metrics concerning the debt level and value of the house has improved. It is obvious that if some principle has been paid off the loan and house prices are up even marginally, the dynamics of affordability have been greatly enhanced for those buying the house. It has never been particularly easy to buy a house. It certainly isn\u2019t now; it wasn\u2019t eight years ago when prices were 30 percent lower. That is because back then interest rates were five percentage points higher than now and household incomes were some 35 percent lower. Nor was it easy 25 and more years ago when the targets of today\u2019s \u201caffordability extremists\u201d target Generation X for buying houses cheaply. Sure, house prices were some 65 percent cheaper than today, but interest rates were entrenched in double digits, household incomes were less than half what they are today and unemployment persistently stuck in a seven to 11 percent range made it hard to get that great, high paying job needed to earn the income needed to buy that \u2018cheap\u2019 house. Housing affordability is an emotive issue with many people feeling squeezed out of the market focusing on the price and difficulty needed to get a sufficient deposit. What they overlook is the level of interest rates, the ease at finding a high paying job when the unemployment rate is six per cent, and the surge in household income growth. Buying a house to live in has been a great investment for the vast bulk of Australians over many decades. It probably still is even though prices in Sydney and parts of Melbourne are ridiculously high. The Reserve Bank of Australia is aware of this and this is why it has not been panicked into implementing any silly policies aimed at crimping house price growth. Indeed, the RBA noted in its most recent comments on the issue, \u201chousing \u2018affordability\u2019, measured as the share of average household income required to service a loan on a median-priced dwelling, has continued to cycle between 20 and 30 per cent, and is currently well below previous peaks\u201d.

        "raw_content": "Keith Hoeller and I have known each other for many years. Like me, Keith advocates for part-time faculty. In my case, I do it nationally. Keith has been going toe-to-toe with the Washington Federation of Teachers for years. The Washington Federation of Teachers (an affiliate of the American Federation of Teachers) represents him and 8,000 other adjuncts who teach in colleges and universities in Washington State. Keith and I agree wholeheartedly that the WFT has represented the state\u2019s part-timers badly. This may sound harsh, but the truth is that the WFT has looked after the best interests of its full-time faculty members first and best for much too long. The result has been that contracts negotiated at affiliate colleges and universities have, literally, worked against the part-time faculty interests while rewarding full-time faculty with larger overall raises, and benefits. Contracts negotiated by WFT affiliates now allow full-timers to teach 200-300 percent of their full-time loads before adjunct faculty are assigned courses. InsideHigherEd.com reported:\nIn \u201cThe Overload Debate\u201d (Community College Journal, Fall, 2010), Jack Longmate points out how the AFT/NEA unions and the community colleges in Washington State have bargained contracts that severely limit adjunct teaching, while at the same time allowing tenure-stream faculty first choice to teach overloads as high as 200 to 300 percent of full time. Throughout the state system, even beginning tenure-track faculty have the right to \u201cbump\u201d adjunct faculty and take their courses, while adjunct faculty do not have the right to bump anyone, no matter how long they have taught. Longmate concludes that \u201ca visitor from Mars looking at the differing treatment of full-time tenured faculty and part-time contingent faculty \u2026 might conclude that discrimination is rampant in the U.S. higher education workplace.\u201d\nThese faculty are represented by the same union, the same affiliate, the same local. This is not equal representation.\nEvidently, not too long ago someone sent along an anonymous message to the Adj-L Listserv. This is an email listserv group comprised of adjunct faculty and (mostly) allies. The sender suggested that it was time to form a national union for adjunct faculty. The individual or individuals set up a web site for those interested in pursuing this goal.\nWell, yes. It\u2019s well past time to form a national union for adjunct faculty. The days for the American Federation of Teachers, the National Education Association and the American Association of University Professors to represent the nation\u2019s 700,000 faculty off the tenure-track is over. The current President of the AAUP, Dr. Cary Nelson, infuriated part-time faculty within his own union by appointing tenure-line faculty member, Marc Bousquet, as the co-chair of the union\u2019s Adjunct Committee. Keith Holler resigned from the Committee in protest. Bousquet\u2019s appointment was a slap in the face of every one of the AAUP\u2019s 5,000 part-time faculty members, none of whom were chosen to co-chair the committee devoted to their own professional interests.\nMy main concern is that those behind the latest push for an adjunct union feel so insecure that they are forming a critical mass of interested individuals anonymously. Frankly, and perhaps I am not as optimistic as I should be, but I just don\u2019t believe an anonymous individual or individuals will attract 10,000 adjuncts interested in a union just for faculty off the tenure-track. As I tell my sons, work doesn\u2019t just come to you. Anyone who wants to start something new, particularly a new national faculty union, is going to have to form the union, then go out and approach already-organized part-time faculty locals, as well as those not yet organized.\nFurthermore, gathering a list of 10,000 email addresses is little than a list of 10,000 individuals willing to give an email address. The number of people who will commit to doing something, anything, will be miniscule, alas. The hard fact is that 9,990 of the 10,000 individuals will want someone else to do something about their poor, exploitative working conditions. A national union requires a cadre of people with very specific skills who are willing to run a national union.\nAt InsideHigherEd.com, 25 people posted comments to Keith\u2019s latest essay about the most recent stab at forming a national faculty union just for adjuncts. I was one of those who commented. My comment, however, was not posted by the site\u2019s editors for some unexplained reason (I suppose the comment was a bit too blunt for their tastes). So, I\u2019m posting it here, for you to read:\nMany years ago, I launched an association for adjunct faculty called the National Adjunct Faculty Guild. I deliberately chose not to launch a union, because, well, there were already three higher education unions. Now, we can count the UAW and SEIU among those who have jumped into the fray to organize adjuncts.\nI had high hopes for Andy Stern\u2019s SEIU, hopes that the SEIU would represent part-time faculty with the same hard-nosed aggressive tactics the union has used representing other workers in need in protection from exploitation. I\u2019ve been disappointed as I\u2019ve watched SEIU stand back while colleges dragged their legal feet for, literally, years, in order to try to avoid recognizing their SEIU affiliates. Of course, college presidents have a gloried track-record of doing the same thing to AFT, NEA and AAUP would-be adjunct affiliates.\nThese many years later, I understand precisely why a VP of Higher Education at AFT met with me shortly after I founded the association. There was a need for a national union to represent adjunct faculty then, when there were 300,000 adjuncts. There is a much greater need now, with 70 percent of college faculty off the tenure-track. We\u2019ve had enough lip service, tea and sympathy from the national education unions to last several lifetimes.\nI hope organizers will follow through and include ALL faculty off the tenure-track. I hope the organizers will realize that including all faculty off the tenure-track will expand the pool of potential members. Then, I hope those who organize this union go after every single NEA/AFT/AAUP/SEIU/AFT affiliate representing adjunct faculty (badly).\nIf this union is, actually, launched we will see one of the ugliest fights in higher education between those who have represented adjuncts grudgingly, and those who know that union representation shouldn\u2019t be grudging. If an Adjunct Faculty Union reaches critical mass, nationally, and is aggressive in its negotiation and representation of the best interests of adjuncts, it will be the 800 pound gorilla at the bargaining table. At this point, at many institutions, uncooperative adjuncts could close a college indefinitely, and do incalculable damage financially. Full-time faculty (and their unions) might be looking at the end of their larger raises, better benefits, and perceived superiority.\nI don\u2019t have many regrets about the past twenty years I have spent advocating (sometimes a bit too vociferously) on behalf of faculty off the tenure-track. The one regret I do have is that I neglected to incorporate and launch a national union in 1995 instead of an association. Today, perhaps, 30,000-50,000 adjuncts would be represented by a union that would never launch national initiatives, such as FACE, that fritter away millions of dollars churning out propaganda that concludes part-time faculty need to be gotten rid of. The union would certainly not be led by a president (as is the AAUP) who promulgate myths about the inferiority of adjuncts disguised as intellectualism.\nWhomever is behind this is frightened enough of repercussions that s/he feels the need to remain anonymous. This, to me, is the most chilling aspect of this latest chapter in the exploitation of faculty off the tenure-track. Whomever you are, feel free to contact me. I will do whatever I can to help you. It\u2019s the least I can do.\nAbout P.D. Lesko: P.D. Lesko is the Executive Editor of AdjunctNation.com. She has written about adjunct faculty issues for almost two decades.\nAdj-L ListservAmerican Association of University ProfessorsAmerican Federation of TeachersDr. Cary NelsonKeith HoellerMarc BousquetNational Education AssociationP.D. Lesko\nThe Oprah of Online Education: Rich\u2019s Favorite Things\nAlicia Mitchell says 8 years ago\nAnother approach to rid such discrimination in higher ed would be to educate adjuncts on the 98% chance that they will remain adjunct for the next ten years of their working lives and perhaps longer, without pay raises, benefits, and bonuses. One way to reach out to them is to send newsletters to each adjunct faculty member across the nation. As you know, the adjunct faculty member is paid $14,000 a year so they have little to no residual income to put forth as a union due. Also, many are retired teachers working to add on to their SS and any pension they may have, so I don\u2019t think there will be much response from those.\nAs you have addressed the issue, and the issue is real, those who are making the big bucks have kept their heads stuck in the sand pretending the issue is of no importance since it doesn\u2019t affect them \u2014 so the next route to acquire money for the newsletters is via government grants. We need to set up an adjunct extension agency which informs adjuncts to their reality and becomes a liasion to adjuncts to find them other employment other than higher ed.\nIt seems once someone lists their higher ed experience on a resume/vitae, no other employer wants to touch it. It is like the would be candidate has just priced him/herself out of a job once the higher ed experience is listed.\nI would like to discuss further ideas. So please contact me via email address at amwalkingtogether@gmail.com.\nSam Johnson says 8 years ago\nNow that the website has been taken down\u2026.how do I get involved. I appreciate your skepticism, but I agree with whoever formed this group that anonymity is the only way to start. We live in a different world. More and more, a two income household is a requirement even to maintain one household. Low wages are simply not an option for many. I don\u2019t want to be involved in union issues so much as I have to and so\u2026could you please pass on my e-mail or any info you can give me about how to contact this group? Thanks.",

A suddenly bend or twist in your knee cause the meniscus to tear. This is a traumatic meniscus tear. Elderly people are more prone to degenerative meniscal tears as the cartilage wears out and weakens with age.\nArticular or hyaline cartilage is the tissue lining the surface of the two bones in the knee joint. Cartilage helps the bones move smoothly against each other and can withstand the weight of the body during activities such as running and jumping.\nThe knee joint is formed by the union of two bones, namely the femur (thigh bone) and the tibia (lower leg bone). At the junction of these two bones is a cartilage called the meniscus, which acts as a shock absorber. There are two menisci \u2013 the lateral and medial menisci.\nThe knee consists of a fluid called synovial fluid, which reduces friction between the bones of the knee joint while you move your leg. Sometimes this fluid is produced in excess, resulting in its accumulation in the back of your knee. A Baker's cyst or popliteal cyst is a fluid-filled swelling that develops into a lump behind the knee. This causes stiffness, tightness and pain behind your knee.",

It is especially brilliant during the spring and winter, with the trees showing a wide variety of colors. Motorcycles cost considerably less than your average vehicle, but it\u2019s sometimes hard to bring down your motorcycle insurance costs due to the riskier nature inherent in riding a motorcycle.\nOne of the ways that you can bring down your insurance costs is by consistently riding as safely as possible. A good driving history does a significant amount to bring down your insurance costs, whether you are picking up new insurance or you want to try to negotiate a better rate with your existing insurance company.\nMotorcycle insurance mirrors the options available through standard car insurance. In Sherrelwood, CO, you are required to have liability coverage on your bike. However, that\u2019s not the only coverage option you have available. You can also add in collision if you\u2019d like your insurance company to cover damage to your vehicle even if you are at fault in an accident. This is a good option if you have a newer bike, and you don\u2019t want to have to worry about whether or not the other driver has liability insurance that can cover the damage.\nThere\u2019s also comprehensive insurance, which covers situations that aren\u2019t covered under either liability or collision. A common coverage option for this insures your bike against damages related to theft or vandalism.\nWant help in getting better, cheaper motorcycle insurance for your bike? Talk to our independent agents in Sherrelwood, CO or use our free quotes tool to find out your options.\nCertified Jet Ski Insurance Agents in Welby, CO\nPosted on November 4, 2014 September 29, 2014 by AgentInsure\nThe water is simply calling for your personal watercraft, and you pull out the jet ski to enjoy the waters in Welby, CO. While you\u2019re out on the water, you end up getting into an accident that isn\u2019t covered by anyone but yourself because you didn\u2019t hold insurance on your personal watercraft. While you aren\u2019t legally required to hold this insurance in Colorado, failing to look into your options results in a lot of time and money lost that you don\u2019t want to deal with.\nThe type of insurance offered by jet ski insurance agents depends on the company that you choose. The basic coverage includes liability, and often underinsured or uninsured boater protection. Many boaters choose not to cover their crafts with insurance as a way to save money, or simply because they aren\u2019t aware that it exists. When you run into that situation, it\u2019s frustrating because you\u2019re out the repair costs or medical bill money.\nAnother type of coverage offered with jet ski insurance is towing coverage. If you end up getting stuck on the water, getting a tow back in to shore can be an expensive endeavor. The insurance allows you to get a tow back in without having to stress about the cost.\nYou only really get paid out from insurance when someone else hits you if it\u2019s entirely their fault. If you want to not play the guessing game so you can get your jet ski back out on the water quickly, take a look at collision insurance. This covers any collision damage on your jet ski so you can have it back out on the water as quickly as possible.",

        "raw_content": "Aigner World\nFROM THEN UNTIL NOW:\nBETWEEN A GREAT PAST AND AN EXCITING FUTURE.\nIT ALL BEGAN IN NEW YORK.\nThe great fashion designer Etienne Aigner was born in Hungary in 1904. More than half a century ago he presented his first handbag collection in New York \u2013 and caused a major sensation.\nThe reason that people in 1950 were so excited about Aigner's exclusive leather creations was that ever since the invention of the \"steamer trunk\" for the legendary transatlantic liners or the Orient Express, there had been no real innovations in travel luggage.\nA few years later Etienne Aigner met Heiner H. Rankl, a businessman with a keen feel for the future and an equally strong sense of tradition \u2013 and the cult brand of AIGNER was born. That was in 1965, in Munich.\nTHE MUNICH FEELING.\nAt that time Munich was the best place to found a new, leading German fashion brand. In the mid 60s and 70s Munich was full of excitement: there was a euphoric belief in progress, and the future held no threat. Certainly not in Munich, a city so close to Italy that has always been more in tune with the \"dolce vita\" than anywhere else in Germany. At that time nobody needed to invent an attitude because everyone had a natural feel for the lightness of life: Flower Power! Parties! Love! Discos! The Jet Set!\nThe design of the 60s and 70s reflected this great freedom. It was young, streamlined and futuristic, with an emphasis on the colour orange.\nIt was that freedom, the special feel of that time, which inspired the young brand AIGNER. Wild horses were best suited to those wild years with their wild parties. The AIGNER Racing Days, an event organized by the prestige brand just outside Munich, soon became a firm fixture in a society still unaccustomed to such events.\nAIGNER gave its products a rural, countrystyle feel. There was always a sense of the racecourse, a feeling of being by the fireside. A phenomenon that can still be felt today.\nAIGNER, THE FIRST GERMAN CULT BRAND FOR STYLISH LIVING.\nThe characteristic AIGNER \"A\" in the form of a small horseshoe combined with the AIGNER-typical Antic red colour was soon not only a striking feature of the best handbags, belts and expensive travel luggage but also leather-encased cigarette lighters, corkscrews, pipesmokers' accessories, and even backgammon boxes.\nIt was more intuition than calculation that created an AIGNER brand world which reflected and enhanced a life of pleasure, savoirvivre and sheer style.\nThey've become a part of the lives of the company's sophisticated customers: true leather and handbag classics that were designed in the 70s and that made AIGNER world-famous: The distinctive Saddle Bag and the unmistakable Doctor's Bag.\nThroughout the decades, AIGNER has retained its claim to creating true classics.\nDuring the 1980s AIGNER extended its product range by awarding licences for watches, jewellery and eyewear. In 1990 licences were awarded for the womenswear and menswear collection.\nThe prestige brand AIGNER continued to successfully bridge the gap between tradition and innovation long after its two original founders were no longer able to personally steer the company's fortunes. In the year 2000, Etienne Aigner died in New York at the age of 96.\nBut the success story of the AIGNER company continues...\nIn 2003 AIGNER celebrated a spectacular debut at the Milan fashion shows. The relaunch of the company's brand architecture was a success.\nIn 2005 AIGNER opened over 20 new stores, rapidly expanding its business activities in the Near and Far East and embarking on a highly effective quality offensive in the leather sector.\nToday the brand is a symbol for unique craftsmanship, highest quality and perfection. A brilliant combination of German precision and Tuscan tradition.",

        "raw_content": "Alabama only has three abortion clinics. Here\u2019s one woman\u2019s story\nJenna King-Shepherd had an abortion at a clinic that no longer exists before she went to college. ( Sage Media Group )\nBy Abbey Crain | acrain@al.com\nJenna King-Shepherd had an abortion nearly a decade ago at a clinic in Birmingham that no longer exists.\n\u201cI was getting ready to go off to college and my parents really wanted me to get married and live in the hometown I always had been in and be a housewife,\u201d King-Shepherd said. \u201cI just knew that\u2019s not what I needed to do.\n\u201cSo after I found out I was pregnant, even though I didn\u2019t really know about abortion, there was never really a doubt in my mind what I needed to do for myself.\u201d\nToday she would find her options limited. Alabama now has just three abortion clinics that regularly provide care, down from 13 in 2000.\nAlabama last fall cemented state opposition to abortion. Voters in November added language to the state Constitution opposing abortion. It is a mostly symbolic move, although it would set the stage for quickly restricting access in Alabama should the Supreme Court overturn Roe v. Wade. The vote was the latest in a long line of state legislation that has chipped away at access or added new obstacles for Alabama women seeking an abortion.\nKing-Shepherd grew up in Guntersville in a conservative, religious home. Her parents did not approve of her decision to have an abortion so her sister drove her an hour and a half to Birmingham twice, one for mandatory counseling and again two days later for the procedure.\nShe bonded with the two other women in the waiting room over their shared experience, but has not since talked about her experience with anyone besides her husband.\n\u201cIt\u2019s really sad that more people in Alabama don\u2019t talk about [abortion] because women tend to feel alone or that they\u2019re the only ones going through this,\u201d she said. \u201cOne in four women are going to have an abortion for whatever reason, and when I was going through mine, that\u2019s not something that I understood.\u201d\nThe National Abortion Federation lists three clinics statewide that regularly provide surgical and medical abortions. They are located in Huntsville, Tuscaloosa and Montgomery.\nAccording to a 2011 study by the Guttmacher Institute, a research organization focusing on reproductive health, 59 percent of women in Alabama do not have access to a women\u2019s clinic in their county.\nThose limited options, combined with demanding state hurdles and waiting periods, force some Alabama women to travel long distances or across state lines and take extended time off work, at times pushing the procedure later into pregnancy.\nPlanned Parenthood tends to attract attention in abortion debates, but the organization only has two clinics in Alabama and none that provide surgical abortions on a regular basis.\nPlanned Parenthood has two clinics in Alabama, but can only perform abortion based on doctor availability from out of state. Carly Geraci\nStaci Fox, president of Planned Parenthood Southeast Advocates, said Birmingham\u2019s Planned Parenthood abortion services depend on the availability of providers in the area. Doctors are flown in from out of state to perform abortions at the Planned Parenthood clinics in Alabama.\nFox said despite Planned Parenthood Southeast\u2019s long-standing relationship with the University of Alabama at Birmingham Medical Center, she believes doctors at UAB are not allowed to provide abortion services at Planned Parenthood or other abortion clinics around the state.\n\u201cThey\u2019re afraid of things like funding because here we have a state that wants to amend its state constitution to ban abortion, and UAB gets its funding from the state,\u201d Fox said. \u201cSo UAB makes decisions like not allowing their staff to work for [Planned Parenthood] or other abortion providers to help provide access to women\u2019s healthcare.\u201d\nA spokesperson from UAB said the medical center \u201cdoes not have [such] a policy \u2013 official or unofficial.\u201d\nAccording to a 2016 study by the Department of Health Care Organization & Policy at UAB, it is difficult for women in Alabama to find an abortion provider in Alabama in a timely manner.\n\u201cTwo-thirds of the women were unable to schedule their abortion 48 hours later owing to work schedules or because appointments were offered only once a week,\u201d researchers found, \u201cand four women were delayed until their second trimester even though they sought services earlier in pregnancy.\u201d\nFinding a clinic with openings, getting together enough money to pay for the procedure, which can amount to $600 in some cases, taking off work, and finding transportation all combine to create a nearly insurmountable barrier for many women facing an unwanted pregnancy.\nKing-Shepherd became pregnant during the summer and did not have to take off work or school. Her sister didn\u2019t have to take off work because of her flexible schedule. She was able to pay for the abortion by using the monthly allowance her parents provided. But she said she knows things are not that easy for many women in her situation.\nAmanda Reyes, president of the Yellowhammer Fund, helps procure funding, travel and lodging for women seeking abortion care in Alabama.\nYellowhammer Fund in Tuscaloosa providing financial assistance for abortions\nShe most often sees women who live in Montgomery, South Alabama and the Florida panhandle asking for assistance, she said. \u201cThose folks have the most problems physically accessing the clinics and that\u2019s where do a lot of our help.\u201d\nReyes said one case that sticks out to her is a woman whose partner was not supportive of her decision to have an abortion despite the woman being disabled. Reyes and her team helped the woman find transportation, childcare and funds to travel to Atlanta, where clinics provide general anesthesia for patients. She estimates they spent close to $1,500 to help the woman.\n\u201cWhere we are now, it\u2019s really bad and it\u2019s been that way for a while,\u201d she said. \u201cSome of the different elements have changed, but I\u2019d say the access landscape in general has not changed. It\u2019s still extremely hard for people to access abortion care.\u201d\nFox said the lack of access primarily affects poor women and poor women of color.\n\u201cWhen you look at our history [of Planned Parenthood] from 1930 to 2018,\u201d she said, \u201cit\u2019s not like another provider has stepped up to fill that gap for access to healthcare.\u201d\nFox pointed to Alabama\u2019s high rates of cervical cancer in the Black Belt as another effect of women\u2019s clinics, like Planned Parenthood, closing. She said clinics began closing because of Alabama\u2019s political stance on abortion.\nIn November, 60 percent of Alabamians voted to add Amendment 2 to the state constitution, essentially codifying Alabama as a \u201cpro-life\u201d state.\nDoctor says Amendment 2 could affect women who miscarry\nAlabama has attempted to institute so-called TRAP laws, or Targeted Regulation of Abortion Providers, in the past, such as revoking clinic licenses when clinics are within 2000 feet of a school.\nSummit Medical Center in Birmingham closed in 2006 after a physician\u2019s assistant gave a patient medicine for a medical abortion. Lack of funding caused Huntsville\u2019s Planned Parenthood\u2019s closure in 2008. Beacon Women\u2019s Center in Montgomery closed in 2010 because of health code violations.\nMany others, Fox said, closed because of building code violations and the extra scrutiny abortion clinics are put under by the health department.\nJudge Myron Thompson rules two Alabama abortion laws unconstitutional\nKing-Shepherd, now a mother of a 2-year-old boy, said she kept her abortion secret until Amendment 2 passed in November. She invited women in her community in Guntersville to come to her house, to talk about the possible repercussions of the amendment. But almost all 25 canceled because they didn\u2019t want to be associated with abortion rights, she said. Some said their husbands did not want them go.\n\u201cA lot of people in the South may choose to think of themselves as \u2018good people\u2019 who are loving and accepting people, especially because of their faith, but when it comes down to pressure and it\u2019s something that affects you or someone you know and love, it\u2019s what do you do under those circumstances that dictates who we are.\u201d\nAfter the amendment passed, King-Shepherd quit her job at her family\u2019s company and started studying for the LSAT so she could apply for law school. She hopes to travel out of state with her family for school and eventually return to Alabama to fight for women\u2019s reproductive rights.\n\u201cI had an abortion and I never regretted it, and that doesn\u2019t make me a bad person,\u201d King-Shepherd said. \u201cI just did what\u2019s right for me and I can\u2019t imagine what my life would be like had I not had that right.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Strong Holiday Sales Cement The Amazon Echo As Most Popular Smart Speaker\nCIRP - Consumer Intelligence Research Partners - has just put out their report for the end of 2018, which shows that there are over 66 million smart speakers being used right now. And that is up from 53 million just three months earlier. This is the result of a booming holiday quarter for both Amazon Alexa and Google Home smart speakers.\nAccording to this report, about 70-percent of the market share belongs to the Amazon Echo, while 24-percent belongs to the Google Home, and Apple's HomePod makes up the final six-percent. Surprisingly, Microsoft's Cortana is not on the report at all.\nTo some, it might be a bit surprising that Amazon has such a lead over Google and even Apple. But the reason for the major lead over Google is due to the fact that Amazon had the Echo available almost two years before Google's Home was made available. Another reason is the fact that Amazon also sells their hardware dirt cheap - basically at cost. It has also been giving away the Echo Dot with many purchases over the past year or so.\nThe HomePod is only at six-percent, largely due to the price and functionality. If you are not totally invested in the Apple ecosystem, the HomePod does not make a whole lot of sense for you. This is because you can only listen to Apple Music on the HomePod, and it is also about $349.\nCIRP also found that many consumers are now using multiple smart speakers in their home. Instead of just having one in their living room or in their bedroom, they are picking up a second one or even more, to put in other rooms of their home. About 35-percent have at least two smart speakers in their home. That is almost double what it was about a year ago. And with the install base having jumped quite a bit in the past year, that is a much bigger jump than it sounds like.\nHowever, those that have three or four smart speakers in their home is a much lower number, both of which are under 10-percent. This portion of its report was based on a survey of about 500 respondents. So these particular numbers are not the most accurate, but it does paint a rather interesting picture for the future of smart speakers.\nThese numbers show us one thing, pretty clearly. That Amazon and Google's strategy to get their digital voice assistants into everyone's home is definitely working. If Amazon and Google did not sell their smart speakers as cheap as they have been, and bundling them with some other smart home products, the install base would likely be a whole lot smaller - and Apple might have a larger chunk of the market as well. But including the Echo Dot and Home Mini in with so many different products, particularly during the holidays, means big numbers for both.\nThis also shows that the holiday quarter was particularly kind to both Amazon Alexa and the Google Assistant. And there's likely a ton of new users out there.",

        "raw_content": "Hollywood director James Gunn\nWashington D.C. [USA], Jan 31 (ANI): James Gunn, who was fired from helming the third instalment of 'Guardians of the Galaxy', is now in negotiations to direct the second 'Suicide Squad' film. It is a follow-up to the Warner Bros. 2016 hit film that featured DC Comics anti-heroes in the lead.\nThe film is not entirely unexpected, as Gunn was already writing the script for the sequel, which Warner Bros. slotted for an August 2021 release, wrote The Hollywood Reporter.\nThe news, however, confirms the fact that the 'Suicide Squad' film will be his next directorial effort.\nDisney had fired Gunn from his Marvel franchise in July following the resurfacing of old tweets from 2008 and 2009 in which he made insensitive and controversial jokes.\nThe film, however is not being labeled as a sequel, but rather, a relaunch. Sources say that Gunn\u2019s focus is to take the franchise in a new direction with a mostly all-new cast of characters and actors. Sources also say that the project is also very much rooted in Gunn\u2019s vibe, as seen in the 'Guardians' films.\nCharles Roven and Peter Safran will produce the film with Zack Snyder and Deborah Snyder acting as executive producers.

        "raw_content": "Planning & Advice Senior Living Articles Preventing Memory Loss\nTHE ACTIVE BRAIN: Strategies for Preventing Memory Loss\n\u201cWill I forget my family members and loved ones as I grow older?\u201d\n\u201cIs there a way to stop the memory loss-forgetting names or why I went to the grocery store-that I\u2019ve begun to experience?\u201d\n\u201cAm I destined to lose memory as I age?\u201d\nThese questions strike at the heart of the most terrifying aspect of Alzheimer\u2019s disease and other forms of dementia-that memory loss affects the core of personal identity. But there\u2019s good news: Not everyone susceptible to dementia eventually succumbs to it. Though memory loss is often associated with older age, scientists have discovered that memory doesn\u2019t necessarily diminish with time. Recent medical research has shown that preventing memory loss can happen with the right combination of physical and mental activity, and in some cases cognitive decline (or memory loss) can be delayed or even prevented.\nHOW MEMORY LOSS OCCURS\nEstimates by neuroscientists have shown that by late middle age the brain loses an average of 1 percent of its brain cells every year. Memory loss occurs when the synapses (or neural connections between brain cells) that facilitate the transfer and storage of information in the brain are weakened. The more connections between brain cells, the better the brain\u2019s ability to transmit, store, and retrieve information. But as subtle decay in brain mass eventually takes its toll, memory loss can begin to set in.\n\u201cThe number of memory complaints goes up with age,\u201d explains Dr. George Rebok, a professor of psychiatry in the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Heath. Rebok says that memory loss first affects everyday activities, like the ability to remember appointments or the names of other people, particularly people one has recently met.\nIn addition to the loss of physical brain mass, scientists have developed a number of theories to explain why memory changes with age. With increasing age, there is simply more information stored in one\u2019s brain, making it more difficult to access. Another explanation suggests that some memory loss is affected by lifestyle changes later in life. Without daily work or regular activity, much of the mental data stored in the brain no longer has a meaningful structure to support it. In turn, that information can become far more difficult to access. But in spite of all these explanations for memory loss, the fact is that not all seniors lose memory at the same rate-or even at all.\nWHO EXPERIENCES MEMORY LOSS?\nPerhaps the most surprising thing about memory loss is how it affects different population groups. Even identical twins who share the same genes have been shown to experience cognitive decline at different rates, which suggests that memory loss is affected by our environment at least as much as by genetics. Dr. Zaldy Tan, a professor at the Harvard Medical School Division of Aging, notes that an individual\u2019s education level and occupation appear to play a significant role in the onset of memory loss.\nPeople with high levels of education or whose jobs require complex mental functions-doctors, engineers, and university professors, for instance-are less likely to develop Alzheimer\u2019s disease. \u201cPeople with higher education and intelligence have more brain connections, and therefore, have greater brain reserves,\u201d Tan says. \u201cTheir brain can take more hits, so to speak, before they develop dementia, whereas people with less reserves can take less hits.\u201d\nRebok describes excess brain capacity as a \u201ccognitive reserve\u201d-an abundance of connections between brain cells that keeps the brain and memory functioning well, even as some neural connections weaken with age. Cognitive reserve offers the best explanation for why those with advanced educations-and thus a more highly developed \u201cback-up memory\u201d-are less likely to fall victim to Alzheimer\u2019s.\nThe advantages of cognitive reserve, however, are not necessarily limited to the well-educated. According to Rebok, research in the last ten to twenty years has shown that not only can one brain connection take over for another, but that the brain can create new connections between cells. \u201cIt isn\u2019t just a matter of losing neurons as you get older,\u201d Rebok says. The brain not only creates new connections between neurons, but can actually grow new brain cells that transmit information. \u201cThere\u2019s a great deal of plasticity in the brain,\u201d he adds. Rebok points out that this new understanding of brain capacity shows that people, regardless of educational or occupational background, who engage in a more active lifestyle can improve certain areas of their mental functioning, potentially delaying or preventing memory loss.\nImprovements in memory, however, can be gained through everyday activity. Mental activity as simple as regular reading or playing board games stimulates brain connections and contributes to the delay and prevention of cognitive decline. In effect, more active lifestyles allow the brain to continually re-wire itself. Tan notes that physical inactivity, especially in older age, can contribute to cognitive decline. \u201cIf you\u2019re homebound, watching television, reheating food in the microwave, [those activities] don\u2019t require higher cognitive function,\u201d he says.\nIn his book \u201cAge-Proof Your Mind: Detect, Delay, and Prevent Memory Loss-Before It\u2019s Too Late\u201d Tan cites a number of leisure activities as particularly effective in helping the brain protect itself against mental decline:\nReading Regularly: In an age when people spend so much time passively watching television, reading provides an opportunity for active mental engagement. And such habits as making predictions about a story\u2019s plot and recalling details from what was read can further enhance the benefits of reading on one\u2019s memory.\nPlaying Board Games: An avenue for much-needed social interaction, board games also encourage critical thinking.\nPlaying Musical Instruments: The mental discipline required to learn a new hobby or skill helps ensure that more areas of the brain remain active.\nDancing: For those who are physically able, dancing provides a combination of physical and mental activity, especially the hard work of remembering all those dance steps!\nDoing Crossword Puzzles: Tan notes that someone who completes theNew York Timescrossword puzzle four days per week reduces the risk of developing Alzheimer\u2019s disease by 50 percent compared to someone who does the puzzle only once per week.\nIn addition to simple everyday activities, another option for preventing memory loss is the practice of memory exercises. Well over 300 studies on memory training with normally functioning older adults suggest that while not all participants benefit to the same degree, memory training can help. \u201cIn some cases, those improvements last weeks, months, even up to several years,\u201d Rebok says. \u201c[Improvement in memory] doesn\u2019t go away once you stop the memory training.\u201d\nRebok has led a large study in which participants learn memory interventions that stimulate the brain\u2019s memory-making abilities. An example of a memory intervention used in the study is the acronym MOVA, which stands for:\nThe idea behind MOVA, according to Rebok, is that information is easier to remember when it\u2019s meaningful, when it\u2019s logically organized, when one can visualize it, and when one can associate it with something that is already familiar. Tasks in the study included memorizing a grocery list (organizing items into categories like dairy or produce) and remembering stories from the newspaper (visualizing the narrative and associating it with common experiences).\nIt should be noted that increased mental activity is no cure-all. For some people, cognitive decline and dementia will occur, regardless of educational background or mental lifestyle. But for many people who adopt a direct approach to mental activity, preventing memory loss can work. Tan and Rebok both emphasize that with early signs of memory loss, preventing more serious cognitive decline is still possible with lifestyle change, which is often as simple as taking steps toward increased social activity and some new hobbies. But even more important is adopting a lifestyle of mental activity at a younger age. \u201cAging is a process that doesn\u2019t start when you\u2019re 65 or 70,\u201d says Rebok. \u201cA lot of the choices you make earlier in life have profound consequences for your life as an [older] adult.\u201d\nWhat is Alzheimer\u2019s Memory Care?\nDementia Patients & Dignity\nTips for helping Alzheimer's and dementia patients maintain dignity.\nAlzheimer\u2019s Disease: Symptoms & Care\nLearn about the causes, symptoms, and treatments for Alzheimer's disease.\nDementia Information Guide\nYou've probably heard the term \"dementia,\" but you may be uncertain about what it means.

The company is donating a new amphitheater to Jones Park in downtown Appleton.\nIt\u2019s a fitting donation, says Mayor Tim Hanna, as Miron served as the construction manager for the Fox Cities Exhibition Center and is also the lead contractor on the renovations of Jones Park.\n\u201cThe amphitheater will be a great fit for Jones Park and a wonderful complement the renovations to the park and the Fox Cities Exhibition Center that overlooks it all,\u201d he said.\nMiron, which originated on N. Story St. in Appleton, has a long history of commitment to the community. In lieu of hosting a centennial celebration event, the company instead chose to leave a lasting legacy with the donation of the amphitheater.\n\u201cThe Fox Cities has granted us the opportunity to construct numerous facilities that shape the landscape of our region. We are grateful to continue experiencing success 100 years after our inception and as such, desired the chance to give back to a community that has played such a vital role in our growth and accomplishments. This is a gift on behalf of not only my business partner (David G. Voss, Jr.) and I, but on behalf of our 1,500-strong team of individuals who bring commitment and passion to offices and project sites across the United States each and every day,\u201d Tim Kippenhan, COO and vice president of Miron, said.\nThe 2,600 square foot amphitheater will be located on the east end of the park facing back toward the Fox Cities Exhibition Center, there will be plenty of open area for seating in the portion of the park which will double as a hockey rink during the winter months. The back of the amphitheater will feature two backstage rooms totaling 500 square feet. Backstage spaces will provide performers with an area to prepare for performances and stage equipment; each space has its own dedicated restroom facilities. The amphitheater will be constructed with many of the same materials as the warming house for the hockey rink, so it will blend in naturally with the landscape.\n\u201cIt really says something about a company that has been in business for 100 years that they have decided to come back to their roots, close to where the company was founded, to make a donation like this,\u201d Appleton Mayor Tim Hanna said. \u201cThis project is indicative of several recent projects we have done with Miron that happen to be in Appleton, but benefit the entire Fox Cities region.\u201d\nConstruction on the amphitheater is scheduled to start in mid-August, with an anticipated completion in October of this year, along with the completion of the warming house and the remainder of the Jones Park renovations. A ceremonial groundbreaking event is scheduled for early August. The donation of the amphitheater must still receive final approval from the Common Council.",

        "raw_content": "We know as much as anyone else how expensive it can be living in the world today.\nThe global recession that has rocked the world in recent years has meant the amount of money many people are taking home from their job has reduced, but the cost of their household bills has risen, particularly in regards to energy prices.\nHowever, as an experienced plumber in Chigwell, we\u2019re always doing as much as we can to ensure our customers are able to save as much money as possible.\nWhilst there are various approaches we can take to do so, the following information details three ways we could help you to save money on your monthly bills with more effective and efficient water and energy systems.\n1. Biomass Heating System\nEssentially a wood-fuelled way of heating your home, biomass is a carbon-neutral system, as whilst the wood is growing (to produce the pellets \u2013 or chips \u2013 to fuel the system), it takes more CO2 from the atmosphere than it produces.\nBut as fantastic as this is for the environment, it\u2019s the cost savings that most people are interested in \u2013 and the good news is, they can be considerable.\nFor example, if you have an electric-based heating system at present, you could save close to \u00a3600 a year by replacing it with a biomass one. Even if you\u2019ve got a relatively efficient gas system in place at the minute, you could still save over \u00a3100 every 12 months.\n2. Solar Thermal Water Heating\nAn option that\u2019s becoming increasingly popular, solar thermal essentially uses the natural sunlight to heat your water system through the installation of solar panels on your roof.\nWhat\u2019s most appealing about solar thermal is that once you\u2019ve paid for the installation of the panels, you have no further costs other than the occasional bit of maintenance every few years. Therefore, as there\u2019s no monthly payment, this means you can basically heat all of the water in your home completely for free.\nThe one thing we get a lot of in the UK is rain, but so much of it goes to waste on an individual level.\nTherefore, with water prices seeming to rise regularly, harvesting any rainwater to use in the majority of scenarios in your house could prove to save you a small fortune in a particularly easy way.\nSuitable for everything from flushing your toilet through to washing your clothes, you could greatly reduce the amount of money you spend on water in your home simply by using nature\u2019s own supply directly.\nWhilst we can\u2019t give you money to help with your everyday living expenses, we are experienced enough in energy solutions, that what we can do is help to ensure your monthly outgoings on your water and energy bills really are as minimal as they can be.",

        "raw_content": "this year are likely to lead to another increase in Alberta insurance rates. The 2016 blaze forced more than 80,000 people from their homes, and is said to be the costliest disaster for insurers in Canadian history. Read on to learn more about why you shouldn\u2019t be surprised to see your premiums or deductibles go up this year.\nWhile there is no single event that will, in itself, trigger premium increases, a disaster of this magnitude can definitely start to deplete the reserves that insurance companies keep for these type of unanticipated events. A depleted reserve means deductibles and premiums may need to be increased.\nAnother reason why Alberta insurance prices are on the rise is due to the simple fact that in the past five years, we have had a high number of natural disasters that have led to a dramatic increase in catastrophic losses claims in Alberta. At a basic level, Alberta is now seen has a higher-risk province, which translates to higher premiums.\nWhat Does Insurance Cover In These Situations?\nAlmost all home insurance policies cover wildfire damage. If you lose your home to fire, you can expect your insurance to cover the cost of rebuilding your home, as well as some coverage of living expenses. Exactly how much of a payout you\u2019ll receive is based on a couple of factors, including the type of damage, the value of goods in the house and the policy type.\nNatural disasters happen. Insurance companies are prepared for events like these, but premium increases are almost inevitable when there is a string of events that deplete insurance reserves. It\u2019s important for governments to focus on loss prevention, whether that means building in less risky areas, or building safeguards in municipalities. By reducing our vulnerability, insurance rates will go down.\nARC Insurance works to get you the best rates on home insurance. Our personalized approach will ensure that you leave with the individualized coverage you need.

With more than an estimated 200,000 Hispanics, the Arlington Diocese offers Mass in Spanish in 35 of the 69 parishes. All seminarians are required to learn Spanish by undergoing an 8-week immersion program in Guatemala where they live with a Spanish-speaking family and study 6 to8 hours a day.\nFather J.D.

The two last met after Shwe Mann's ouster, right before the reopening of parliament this week.\nAsked whether he was worried about Shwe Mann's next steps, Tin Naing Thein said, \"We are not worried about his response at all. We believe that he's a trustworthy person.\"\n\"This man will be faithful to his country and his party.\"",

        "raw_content": "Hong Kong to overhaul vocational training\nStudents in the training kitchen at the Vocational Training Council campus in Pok Fu Lam learning how to rustle up Chinese dishes. A new pilot scheme called \"Earn and Learn\" will be introduced which combines vocational schooling and paid on-the-job training.\nLi Xueying and Pearl Liu\nHONG KONG - Within Hong Kong's dense thicket of skyscrapers and other buildings, there are 60,000 lifts. But the city has just 5,000 mechanics trained to service them, whether for routine maintenance or emergencies when lifts malfunction and people get stuck.\nBecause few locals want to get their hands greasy, Hong Kong is short of 2,000 lift mechanics, estimates Mr Charles Wong, who is in charge of training them at the Vocational Training Council (VTC).\n\"The lift companies tell us that there is a shortage,\" he says. \"So while we should be sending two workers for every inspection job, sometimes they send just one.\"\nIn Hong Kong, where heavily used lifts range from the ostentatiously zippy - swooshing at up to 12m per second in steel-clad skyscrapers - to the judderingly cranky ones in old tenements with average speeds of 1.5m per second, the shortage of lift mechanics is clearly dire.\nBut it is not the only area in which the city is short of workers, as a result of an entrenched stigma attached to skilled technical work. Others range from construction workers and electricians to aircraft and IT technicians.\nTo try to lick the problem, Hong Kong is introducing a new pilot scheme called \"Earn and Learn\" that combines vocational schooling and paid on-the-job training along the lines of Germany's famed apprenticeships.\nVTC chairman Clement Chen tells The Straits Times it is part of a larger plan to overhaul vocation education in a city that traditionally places great store by \"face\", or prestige.\nChief executive Leung Chun Ying said during his annual policy address in January that \"the government should re-establish the positioning of vocational education in our education system and guide the younger generation in choosing their career\".\nIt is an urgent issue. Hong Kong faces a labour crunch, with the number of jobs in the private sector waiting to be filled jumping 11 per cent to 72,380 last December, from the previous year. Of these, many vacancies are in industries from construction to catering.\nWhile the government is mulling over making it easier to import labour, it is politically contentious. In fact, there is a ready pool of workers at home. While unemployment in Hong Kong is a low 3.1 per cent, it suffers from an unusually high jobless rate among its young - 11.5 per cent for those aged between 15 and 19.\nBut the mismatch comes from a a deep-seated prejudice - as in many Asian societies - towards hands-on, albeit skilled, jobs, observes Mr Chen. This, in turn, is reflected in the resources for vocational education.\nDespite encompassing 13 institutes with some 250,000 students - VTC takes on the combined role of Singapore's polytechnics and the Institute of Technical Education - its budget from the government is just one-third that given to Hong Kong's eight public universities with 76,000 undergraduates.\n\"We need to put a lot more emphasis on vocational education, and elevate the status of a vocational profession so that people will look at a chef or a designer no differently from lawyers and accountants,\" declares Mr Chen.\nThe new apprenticeship programme will, he hopes, go some way in helping to achieve that.\nWhile the VTC has an existing trainee scheme, it is less structured, without government subsidies or guaranteed salaries upon graduation.\nThe new programme, adapted from the German and Swiss experience, begins with a one-year foundation course, then three years of work training.\nThe apprentice receives a HK$30,800 (S$5,000) stipend from the employer and then a monthly HK$8,000 salary plus HK$2,000 from the government. Upon graduation, he is guaranteed a job, with a guaranteed salary of no less than HK$10,500.\nThis will hopefully provide an incentive for young Hong Kongers - often in a rush to start work as, say, a phone salesman, so to earn an income - to spend the time learning a craft instead, says Mr Chen.\nBeyond that, the companies need to draw up structured career paths for the apprentice, who must be promoted to certain levels within a time frame. They can also opt for further studies. The idea: These are not dead-end jobs.",

Their ability to work, carry out basic functions and enjoy life as they once did may be significantly curtailed if not ruined.\nAccountability for the negligence that caused this is of course important, but the foremost thought is grappling with the enormous expense of this new life. Beyond the initial hospitalizations and surgeries, there is long-term treatment and care, physical and occupational therapies, home health aides and nurses, regular doctors\u2019 appointments, mobility concerns and more.\nThe case value of any spinal cord injury is dependent on the extent and severity of one\u2019s injuries, but spinal cord injuries (paralysis especially) can result in life-altering, permanent disability. It\u2019s not uncommon for an experienced injury attorney to secure $1 million or more in these cases. Because the stakes in these cases are so high, thorough preparation of your case is critical. It often requires extensive medical records and expert witness testimony on several fronts \u2013 from causation to damages. You can be assured that when we take on your spinal injury and paralysis lawsuit, we are confident it has a strong chance of success.\nHow Car Accidents Cause Spinal Injuries\nViolent car accidents can cause a range of injuries. One of the ways they can impact the spine is by causing the spine to flex beyond its normal range of motion. This alone can cause severe injuries. In other cases, a person\u2019s head may impact something in the vehicle or if he/ she is thrown from the vehicle, this can cause major spinal column compression, which result in paralysis.\nAnother injury we see frequently in crashes are disc problems. This is when damage is inflicted to the spongy discs between the bones in the spine. After a crash, you may be diagnosed with a \u201cslipped disc\u201d or \u201cbulging disc\u201d or \u201cruptured disc.\u201d Each of these can cause serious problems.\nOne study published in the Asian Journal of Neurosurgery revealed the majority injuries to the lumbrosacral region of the spine (the lower back) to be the most common. Previous studies in Europe have indicated injuries to the cervical spine (the neck) to be more common. Rollover accident victims are at especially at high risk for cervical spine injuries.\nIn the U.S. the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistic Center reports there are approximately 17,000 new spinal cord injury cases annually. While the average age of spinal cord victims in the 1970s was 29, today it is 42. This is partially a measure of our aging population and of the fact that while motor vehicles are generally safer than in years\u2019 past, older occupants are more prone to suffer serious and disabling injuries.\nDamages in Atlanta Car Accident Spinal Injuries\nOne of the more involved tasks for personal injury attorneys in spinal injury cases is establishing damages incurred by victims. Valuation guides typically use actual jury awards and settlement figures in previous cases to set a range for what a plaintiff may expect to recover if successful. Lifetime costs of spinal cord injuries, according to the NSCISC, climbs according to the severity of injury.\nAverage yearly expenses (which account for health care costs and living expenses, but not indirect costs such as lost wages, fringe benefits or productivity) are approximately $520,000 in the first year for someone with paraplegia (loss of use of both legs and sometimes pelvis), and $70,000 annually after that. Someone with high tetraplegia (also known as quadriplegia, where someone loses use of all four limbs) will incur costs the first year of more than $1 million, with each subsequent year incurring losses of $185,000 or more.\nSomeone who becomes quadriplegic at age 25 can expect at minimum to incur about $5 million in lifetime costs. Someone who becomes quadriplegic at 50 can expect to incur $2.6 million in lifetime costs. Again, these figures don\u2019t include the indirect costs, which are estimated at an average of $73,000 annually. This can vary widely depending on one\u2019s education, pre-injury employment history and level of neurological impairment.\nUnfortunately, while we\u2019ve made impressive strides on so many fronts in science and medicine, we have yet to find a cure for paralysis. When a nerve is severed or damaged to a certain extent, there can be no way to replace it. Victims of spinal cord injuries and paralysis are often focused on working to live as independently and comfortably as possible.\nEstablishing the full extent of these losses \u2013 and the responsibility of named defendants to pay for them \u2013 is a challenge that should only be trusted to a car accident attorney in Atlanta with extensive experience. Depending on the nature of the crash, there may be multiple defendants/ sources of potential compensation. It\u2019s important in cases with these devastating injuries to carefully explore them all. Our injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you do not cover the cost of attorney\u2019s fees unless we are successful.\nSpinal Injuries and Paralysis | Atlanta Car Accident Lawyer Stephen M.

        "raw_content": "Toyota Launches 5-Year Safety Research Effort\nSince its launch in 2011, CSRC has collaborated with leading North American universities, hospitals and research institutions on projects aimed at reducing traffic casualties. Photo courtesy of Toyota.\nToyota\u2019s Collaborative Safety Research Center (CSRC) has launched the next phase of its research mission, which will focus on autonomous and connected vehicle technologies over the next decade, Toyota said.\nThis new phase, dubbed CSRC Next, will direct $35 million toward future mobility research through 2021. Projects will follow four research tracks:\nThe potential integration of active and passive safety systems, using advanced pre-crash sensors to improve and personalize crash protection\nBuilding advanced-technology models for vehicle user experience to improve usability and strengthen the driver-vehicle relationship\nStudying driver state detection, working to improve mobility using metrics for physiology and health\n\u201cThe launch of CSRC Next reflects Toyota\u2019s understanding of the importance of human interaction with emerging and advanced vehicle technologies,\u201d said Chuck Gulash, director of CSRC. \u201cThese highly advanced systems are radically reshaping the transportation landscape, building a relationship between drivers, occupants and vehicles as teammates working together safely and conveniently.\u201d\nAt launch, CSRC Next\u2019s research portfolio includes eight projects in partnership with six schools. Examples include work with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) AgeLab to develop new systems for autonomous vehicles to perceive and identify objects in their environment and to understand social interactions in traffic. Also included is a research study with Virginia Tech to identify issues that may arise after integrated safety systems are deployed in the future.\nMichigan-based CSRC is also working with the Toyota Research Institute (TRI) and Toyota Connected (TC). CSRC research is helping to accelerate autonomous driving technology development and explore the complex relationship between future mobility and broader social trends.\nThe beginning of CSRC Next also marks the conclusion of the center\u2019s first five years of automotive safety research. Since its launch in 2011, CSRC has collaborated with leading North American universities, hospitals and research institutions on projects aimed at reducing traffic casualties.\nOne of the key beneficiaries of CSRC research has been emergency medicine. A project with the University of Michigan studied a computational technique for detection and prediction of severe cardiac events inside a vehicle. As part of CSRC Next, the data collected from in-hospital and in-vehicle subjects will be trained with machine learning models to detect and predict the in-vehicle occurrence of heart attacks.\nAnother study, in collaboration with the University of Nebraska Medical Center, deployed real-time glucose monitoring systems in drivers with insulin-dependent diabetes. The project\u2019s goal was to investigate the feasibility of combining physiologic and driving sensor data to determine the levels and patterns of glucose control that might produce changes in driver behavior and safety in individuals with diabetes.\nOther key projects in the CSRC\u2019s first five years included programs to develop test platforms for collision avoidance systems. Among these efforts was a project with Indiana University \u2013Purdue University at Indianapolis (IUPUI) and The Ohio State University that created advanced test targets for pedestrian pre-collision systems. Another project, in collaboration with MIT, modeled in-vehicle voice command systems and driver behavior.\nRead more about Toyota Research Autonomous Vehicles Safety",

        "title": "Thermoplastics - Material Glossary",
        "raw_content": "Thermoplastics - Material Glossary\nWritten by AZoMMay 24 2001\nPolyamides (PAs - Nylons)\nPolyarylates (PAryls)\nThermoplastic Polyesters (PET, PBT)\nThermoplastic Polyimides (PI, PAI, PEI)\nPolyoxymethylene (POM Acetal)\nPolyphenylene Oxide (PP0)\nPolyaryletherketones (PEEK, PEK)\nPolysulphones (PSul, PES)\nPolyphenylene sulphide (PPS)\nLiquid Crystal Polymers (LCPs)\nThis Glossary is designed to give the reader a feel for the properties and applications of engineering thermoplastics and does not attempt to be exhaustive.\nABS polymers are amorphous polymers readily synthesised by adding styrene and acrylonitrile to a polybutadiene latex. In the resulting polymer, some styrene acrylonitrile (SAN) is grafted on to the polybutadiene backbone chain while the remainder of the SAN forms a continuous matrix. It is the SAN grafted onto the polymer chains that makes the two phases compatible. This essentially gives ABS its strength and toughness. A wide range of ABS materials can be formulated from different combinations of the above three components. It is particularly important to take into account the tendency ABS polymers have to creep, particularly at elevated temperatures. ABS materials also have poor solvent resistance, but they have high impact strength and lend themselves to processing by injection moulding.\nApplications of ABS include: computer and household appliance housings, crash helmets and electroplated bathroom furniture.\nThese polymers are essentially those in which some or all of the hydrogen atoms in polyethylene have been replaced by fluorine, with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) perhaps the best known. PTFE is a tough, flexible, crystalline polymer that retains ductility down to -150\u00b0C. Its solvent and chemical resistance is the best of all the thermoplastics and it has the lowest coefficient of friction of any known solid (0.02). On the downside, it has to be moulded by a powder sintering technique, although it can be extruded very slowly, and it is very expensive with low strength and stiffness. Applications of PTFE are therefore limited to those that make use of its special properties, for example, bearings, chemical vessel linings, gaskets and non-stick coatings. Other fluoropolymers include: polyvinyl fluoride (PVF), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), perfluoroalkoxy tetrafluoroethylene (PFA) and polychloro trifluoroethylene (PCTFE).\nThese are largely the results of attempts to derive polymers with all the benefits of PTFE that are melt processable. These attempts have met with some success, although none of the melt processable fluoropolymers can match the chemical inertness of PTFE. PVDF has useful piezoelectric properties.\nPolyamides have good strength and toughness with excellent fatigue resistance. However, they are prone to absorb moisture, ranging from 8 - 10% for PA6 and PA66 to 2 - 3% for PA11 and PA12 at saturation. Mechanical properties are affected by moisture, with toughness improving with the absorption of moisture whereas modulus is reduced. Polyamides are resistant to hydrocarbons, esters and glycols, but swell and dissolve in alcohols. They are also attacked by acids but generally stable to alkalis. PA6 and PA66 are mainly used in textiles, but they also find application where toughness is a requirement, for example, zip fastener teeth, gears, wheels and fan blades. PA11 is more flexible than PA66 and is typically used for petrol and hydraulic hose as well as powder coatings for metals. Strength and rigidity of these materials can be dramatically enhanced by the addition of glass or carbon fibre reinforcement; the level of saturation water absorption is also reduced. However, the designer needs to be aware of the anisotropic properties that can result in mouldings due to the flow and alignment of the reinforcing phase that occurs during moulding.\nGlass reinforced polyamides are the material of choice for applications such as power tool housings. Transparent amorphous polyamides are available and find application in sterilisable medical components and sight glasses.\nPolyarylates are a family of aromatic polyesters that are considered tough, resistant to UV radiation, resistant to heat and, in amorphous form, transparent. The basic mechanical properties of amorphous PAryls are similar to polycarbonates. The elastic rebound of PAryls is exceptional which makes it a logical candidate for snap fit applications. They are susceptible to environmental stress cracking in the presence of aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbons and their properties deteriorate rapidly in water.\nThey find application in solar panels, lighting, fire helmets and electrical connectors.\nPolycarbonate is unusually tough, due to the nature of its chemical bonding. It is also transparent and almost self extinguishing, with a relatively high continuous use temperature of around 115\u00b0C. Chemical resistance is not outstanding and it needs the addition of light stabilisers for any UV resistance. Glass fibres enhance the stiffness but reduce toughness, as might be anticipated. Polycarbonate is a versatile blending material, with blends of PC/PET and PC/ABS available commercially. Applications of polycarbonate include: glazing panels, light fittings, safety helmets and medical components.\nPolyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) are the most common thermoplastic polyesters. They are similar to PA6 and PA66 in many respects but with much lower water absorption. However, they are prone to hydrolysis, and prolonged contact with water at temperatures as low as 50\u00b0C has a detrimental effect on properties.\nPET is used in the manufacture of biaxially oriented film and bottles, the latter suitable for carbonated drinks. The purpose of the orientation is to enhance rigidity, strength and toughness and also to improve barrier properties, which allows thinner bottles to be made.\nPBT displays a good combination of stiffness and toughness and can withstand continuous service at 120\u00b0C. The most important grades are those reinforced with glass. Applications for PBT include electrical connectors, pump components, and gears, as well as under bonnet and exterior parts for cars.\nPolyimides (PI) are noted for their high temperature performance, retaining their mechanical properties to 250\u00b0C. They exhibit low flammability and smoke emission characteristics and offer the lowest minimum service temperature of thermoplastics. They are relatively expensive and can be difficult to process. Thermoplastic polyimide requires high temperatures and pressures and is usually processed by autoclave or compression moulding. They are susceptible to attack by halogenated solvents.\nFiber Optic Center Announces Release of New Industry Glossary as Latest Technical Resource\nTosoh Bioscience Announces GPC Glossary and Column Selection Mobile App\nPolyamideimide (PAI) was initially developed as a high temperature enamel but was later modified for processing by injection and compression techniques. No other commercially available unreinforced thermoplastic is as strong as PAI over its operating range. Applications include valves, bearings, gears, electrical connectors and jet engine parts. If wear resistance is important, grades filled with graphite and PTFE are available.\nPolyetherimides (PEI) are amorphous, high performance thermoplastics with a continuous use temperature of around 170\u00b0 C. PEI resins can also be melt processed using typical equipment for high volume production. The strength, creep and impact properties of PEIs make them ideal for under bonnet components. They are also used in high temperature switchgear and electrical connectors. A number of medical equipment components are manufactured using PEIs, taking advantage of their excellent resistance to repeated sterilisation using steam, autoclave, gamma radiation or ethylene oxide. Microwave cookware is another application.\nThese polymers are highly crystalline thermoplastics that are commercially available as homopolymers or copolymers. This crystallinity is responsible for their excellent solvent resistance, fatigue resistance, surface finish and predictable mechanical properties over a wide temperature range. POMs are superior to PAs in stiffness, creep resistance, fatigue strength and water absorption, but have inferior impact and abrasion resistance. In general, the copolymers are thermally more stable, with similar mechanical properties to the homopolymer, albeit with slightly reduced tensile properties.\nThe greater stiffness and strength of the homopolymer have promoted its use in cams, gears and exterior car door handles. The copolymer is preferred where chemical resistance and resistance to hydrolysis in particular are important. Examples of the applications of POM copolymer are electric kettles, wash basins and shower heads, as well as snap fit components and toys.\nPPO is a high strength, tough and heat resistant polymer, but in the unmodified state it is extremely difficult to process. It is also relatively expensive. Fortunately, it is miscible with polystyrene, and the resulting amorphous blends are easily processed and cheaper than PPO, with little loss in mechanical properties. Stiffness and strength are approximately 50% higher than high impact ABS, with similar creep behaviour. Modified PPO grades are also self extinguishing when ignited. Resistance to solvents is poor, a characteristic of styrene-based polymers. As well as glass fibre reinforced grades, these materials are available in structural foam grades.\nModified PPOs are used for electrical fittings, car fascia panels, TV components, and computer housings. Foamed modified PPO is particularly suited to the last example.\nThese semi-crystalline polymers have excellent mechanical properties, good thermal stability and good chemical resistance. Despite a Tg of 145\u00b0C, the continuous service rating of PEEK is 250\u00b0C. PEEK is inherently fire retardant. It is easier to burn a hole through an aluminium sheet than through one made from PEEK. These materials are, however, very expensive and difficult to process.\nThey find application in high temperature wire covering and printed circuit boards. Fibre reinforced grades are used in demanding applications that include valves, pumps and missile nose cones.\nPolysulphone (PSul) is an amorphous, transparent polymer with good heat resistance and stiffness. It can be processed by conventional thermoplastic techniques despite the fact that it has a continuous use temperature of 150\u00b0C. Resistance to ionising radiation is good but to UV radiation is poor. PSul is susceptible to stress cracking in certain solvents.\nPolyethersulphone (PES) has a higher continuous use temperature (180\u00b0C) and a modified PES has been shown to operate for tens of thousands of hours at 200\u00b0C without significant loss in properties. This high temperature stability is not matched by weathering or UV resistance which is poor. The polysulphones are used in electrical and electronic applications, medical components requiring repeated sterilisation, microwave cookware and under bonnet and aerospace components.\nPPS is a crystalline material, usually supplied reinforced with glass fibres or glass fibres and mineral fillers. The chemical and ionising radiation resistance of PPS is excellent and the maximum recommended service temperature for PPS is about 200\u00b0C, although it will withstand 350\u00b0C for short periods of time. While PPS will burn and char in the presence of a flame, it is self extinguishing and any smoke that does form is lower in toxicity compared to that given off by many polymers. There are some similarities between PPS and polysulphones, with PPS usually the cheaper option. Uses of PPS include chemically resistant coatings, chemical pumps and electrical components\nWhile the strength and stiffness of polymers can be enhanced by the addition of fibres such as glass or carbon, much research has been carried out into a class of materials whose molecules have a tendency to align themselves and remain in that alignment. These materials are known as liquid crystal polymers.\nThey comprise a diverse family although most are based on polyesters and polyamides. In their molecular structure, LCPs do not fit into the conventional polymer categories of amorphous and semi crystalline, displaying a high degree of crystallinity in the melt phase, hence \u2018liquid crystal\u2019. LCPs are essentially composed of long, rod-like molecules that align themselves in the direction of material flow. This alignment is maintained as solidification takes place, hence they are referred to as \u2018self reinforcing\u2019. However, this does lead to anisotropic properties.\nDespite offering the best high temperature and fire resistance properties of all the thermoplastics, with certain grades able to operate at temperatures around 300\u00b0C, LCPs are relatively easy to process, although the higher the temperature resistance the more difficult the processing. The crystalline nature imparts excellent resistance to solvents, industrial chemicals, and UV and ionising radiations. They are expensive, and, apart from dual use (conventional and microwave oven) cookware, production volumes are anticipated to be low.\nFurther uses of LCPs are envisaged in electronic and automotive markets, replacing die cast and machined metal parts as well as thermosets.\nSource: Materials Information Service, edited by Justin Furness\nFor more information on this Materials Information Source please visit The Institute of Materials.\nASTM D3965-16: Standard Classification System and Basis for Specifications for Rigid Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS) Materials for Pipe and Fittings\nASTM C346-87(2014): Standard Test Method for 45-deg Specular Gloss of Ceramic Materials",

        "raw_content": "David Sieber\nAlbert David Sieber BA. DipEd.\nDavid trying his hand using the B-24 waist gun.\nAlbert (David) Sieber was born in August, 1924 in Victoria Park, Western Australia. He attended East Victoria Park Primary School and then went to Wesley College for 3 years. After completing his education, he started off delivering groceries by push bike until he went to work at the Royal Mint, East Perth.\nDavid joined the RAAF in February, 1943 and was mustered as an Air Gunner. He was, after his aircrew training at numerous locations, posted to 531 Squadron of the U.S. Air Force \u2013 operating out of Darwin, Long and then Fenton\nHis most memorable sortie was during a large formation strike on Koepang during his tour with 531st Squadron. As Albert recalls, \u201cI was to fly with Squadron Leader J Finlayson \u2013 as usual \u2013 in \u2018Patty Pig\u2019. But the person who was to captain \u2018Esquire\u2019 requested to fly \u2018Patty Pig\u2019. So we swapped aeroplanes; \u2018Esquire\u2019 was the lead aircraft and \u2018Patty Pig\u2019 flew number two in our formation. As we approached the target, \u2018Patty Pig\u2019 came along side of us and she was on fire. It appeared that \u2018Patty Pig\u2019 copped an anti-aircraft round between the fuselage and number two engine. \u2018Patty Pig\u2019 then flew ahead of us and then tracked across our line of flight. Being in the front turret, I saw bits of \u2018Patty Pig\u2019 falling off and hitting our aircraft. In fact, I thought that the stricken aircraft was going to collide with us. We followed \u2018Patty Pig\u2019 down. When she hit the water there was a puff of white smoke and she then disappeared below the surface. I thought I saw two crew members get out of the sinking aircraft but, unfortunately, there was no report of any prisoners being taken that day.\u201d\nAlbert\u2019s final operational trip was in September, 1945 when he was involved in a leaflet drop over Roti Island which is off the SW end of Timor; not far from Koepang. David completed his military career serving with No. 21 and No. 23 Squadrons, RAAF and he was, in due course, discharged from the RAAF as a Warrant Officer.\nIn 1946, David married Dot \u2013 nee Maguire - and they have three children; Jeffrey, Kerry and Gary. David qualified as a primary school teacher and spent several years at one-teacher schools in country Western Australia before becoming the head of the Nature Advisory Service.\nHe loves anything to do with aeroplanes! As a volunteer at the Aviation Heritage Museum of WA, he and the late Ern Hanrahan founded the Museum Youth Club. Its aim was to provide a basic aeronautical education to children in a friendly environment. David was awarded the RAAF Association\u2019s Certificate of Merit in January of 1998 and was made a Life Member of the Association in September, 2003.\nAfter a fulfilling life, he is now content to just care for his home and garden. In 2011, Dot and David celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary; he was 87 years old.\nDavid with 380 Bomb Group; he is in the back row, far right.\nDavid with 23 Squadron; he is in the front row, 2nd from the left.\nDavid (left) with Jim Murray - March, 2005.",

        "raw_content": "Home / Articles / The First Bar Association of St. Mary\u2019s County\nThe story of St. Mary\u2019s County\u2019s first bar association is recounted in chapter two of the John Hanson Briscoe Historical Project, \u201cIn Memoriam: The First Bar Association of St. Mary\u2019s County, 1947.\u201d An introduction to that chapter is included below, and the full chapter may be downloaded for free here.\nThe lawyers of the first bar association of St. Mary\u2019s County were, with one exception, native sons of St. Mary\u2019s County. All of them were born and lived in the county prior to the building of the naval air station at Patuxent River. For the most part, their legal careers changed significantly just as life in St. Mary\u2019s County changed significantly as the Navy Base grew.\nSome lawyers in this association never attended law school; others never attended college. It was not uncommon for the older lawyers of this generation to have obtained their licenses to practice law simply by studying under an established lawyer for a number of years.\nEarly in this period, few of these lawyers had secretaries in their offices. St. Mary\u2019s County did not even have a resident judge. In fact, the appearance of visiting judges in the county for a few weeks in the spring and a few weeks in the fall was such an event that it was referred to as \u201cCourt Week.\u201d\nAs the population of the county exploded with the development of the Navy Base and the influx of newcomers from outside of the county, the legal system was forced to change with it. The courthouse, which had been used as something like a governmental center, had to gradually remove non-court-related offices so as to accommodate an ever-growing courthouse support staff. Lawyers took on secretaries and acquired technology to assist them with their increasing caseload.\nRetired Circuit Court Judge C. Clarke Raley put it this way: \u201cIt\u2019s two separate worlds today, completely different, utterly different. From the viewpoint, all of these lawyers from this picture knew very well every single person that was associated with their profession in that community and Leonardtown. And they knew all of their associates. And it would be likely that if you had atrial by jury, they are gonna know every single person who would be on that jury. Not like today, today of total disconnect with that way of doing things. It was just the way it was. Well they had been a part of World War II with less than 10,000 people in St. Mary\u2019s County; most of them were related by blood or by marriage. And the base, of course, changed all that. And we had no computers; some of us didn\u2019t even have type writers.\u201d\nAs Leonardtown attorney Ernie Bell put it, \u201cBefore the advent of Title Companies in St. Mary\u2019s County in the 1970\u2019s,local attorneys performed Title Searches at the Court House when preparing for a Real Estate Settlement. An attorney in those days handling Real Estate matters spent a considerable amount of time in the Deed Record Room at the Court House in Leonardtown. It was there that I became acquainted with John Henry Thomas Briscoe, the father of John Hanson Briscoe. I addressed John H. T. Briscoe as Judge Briscoe. He was about 80 years of age then and still active in the practice of law. He was very helpful to me, always willing to tell a story of what had been. John H. T. Briscoe at the time was the Trial Magistrate for the local Court then handling Misdemeanor Cases. This was the period of time before the District Court came into being on July 1,1971. The Trial Magistrate\u2019s Court was located in the basement of what is now the John Hanson Briscoe Court House. The court room was where the County\u2019s Law Library is now located. I was honored to have been a pall bearer for John H. T. Briscoe.\u201d\nConsider the following: of the eleven members of that first bar association, four \u2014 Paul Bailey, Joseph Mattingly, John H.T. Briscoe, and Phil Dorsey \u2014 served as elected representatives in Annapolis. Six of them \u2014 Kingsley Love, Henry Camalier, Philip Dorsey, Joe Mattingly, Joe Weiner, and John H.T. Briscoe \u2014 served as the county\u2019s State\u2019s Attorney. Joe Weiner, Phil Dorsey, Bill Sterling, and Joe Mattingly became judges. A fifth, John H.T. Briscoe, served as a magistrate, the precursor of the District Court judges, and a sixth, Paul Bailey, was a Justice of the Peace. Outside the legal profession, both Phil Dorsey and Aloysius King owned local newspapers. The youngest members of the bar, Bill Sterling, Robert Wigginton, and Joe Mattingly, were part of that \u201cgreatest generation\u201d and interrupted their legal careers to serve their nation in the armed forces during the Second World War. Before them, Aloysius King and Paul Bailey both served in World War I.\nThese attorneys were practicing during John Hanson Briscoe\u2019s childhood. They set an example of the attorney as public servant for young John. In less than three decades, as he was reaching the absolute heights of statewide elective office, John Hanson would be vying with two of them to become the Circuit Court judge in St. Mary\u2019s County.\nWhile the focus of this chapter will be on each of these individual members of the bar association, the path will follow a memorial service for Aloysius Fenwick King, who passed before all but Henry Camalier and Kingsley Love.\nTen Tips for Landlords and Tenants How does a car accident claim work?

        "title": "Baltimore must not accept &apos;free market&apos; school reform - Baltimore Sun",
        "raw_content": "School reform doesn't work\nIn their commentary (\"Six steps for post-Alonso school reform,\" May 14), Thomas Wilcox, Diane Bell-McKoy and Laura Gamble use many lofty and idealistic sounding words to promote their vision. However, it bears noting that education \"reformers\" are well-versed in using terms that have an appeal, yet bear little substance. It's part of the script to sell the public on a model for education that actually requires a deeper analysis and understanding. Words like \"choice\" and \"accountability\" have done for the corporate-model of education reform what buzz words like \"whole grain\" and \"real fruit juice\" have done for the food processing industry. Thus, commentaries such as this warrant a translation. My translation as follows is not grounded in empty rhetoric or phrases, but instead relies on facts and examples from other urban areas, to predict what such school, reform may indeed come to look like in Baltimore. The question will then remain: are we willing to buy this model? Or should we read the label more carefully?\nMr. Wilcox and company state that Baltimore City Public Schools should maintain a strict focus on school choice and \"fair student funding,\" principles which \"undergird a market-oriented approach.\" What does that mean? It means that advocates of this model for reform believe that public education should be run like corporations under a free-market framework. I'm not sure on what grounds they feel this will be a successful model for helping the most disenfranchised of our children. Is it the free market \"success\" of the housing and banking industries?\n\"Choice\" is code for eliminating public schools and replacing them with \"public\" charter schools. There are several problems with this model. First of all, if other major urban centers can serve as cautionary tales, it is because \"choice\" via the free-market model and entrenchment of charter schools has led to greater racial segregation, fragmentation of the poorest neighborhoods and providing \"choice\" for only the \"cream of the crop\" students. Charters, no longer fettered by what Mr. Wilcox and others call \"unnecessary compliance\" can and have denied providing services to children with special needs, English-language learners and students with behavioral challenges. Thus, they can manufacture higher test scores, graduation success and operate at a lower budget.\nWhat happens to those students? They fall in between the cracks, winding up perhaps at the dwindling community public school whose funding has been gutted by \"fair student funding\" which translates as an increased voucher system in which children with money attached to their foreheads have are siphoned off by charter schools. The Center for Research on Education Outcomes (CREDO) at Stanford University found in a 2009 report that only 17 percent of charter schools outperformed their public school equivalents, while 37 percent of charter schools performed worse than regular local schools, and the rest were about the same. Nevertheless, charter school operators and investors reap enormous profits and six figure salaries.\nThe writers claim that \"families are choosing\" charter schools now that 50 of the 200 public schools are being shut down as if this were something to brag about. If Chicago, Los Angeles, or New York are any indication, the only ones hailing this as a good thing are the corporations and non-profits that have something ideological, financial, or political to gain from such reform. Parents and communities all across the country are up in arms, protesting by the thousands and rallying to save their public schools. Bait-and-switch corporate moves such as the \"parent trigger act,\" which was the brain child of The American Legislative Exchange Commission, use parents to advocate for school closures, and then corporate model-run charter schools like KIPP move in a serve as replacements. When parents in Los Angeles discovered they had been had by this new legislation, they fought back. Perhaps Baltimore can learn for their cautionary tale?\nMr. Wilcox and his allies claim that \"unions are cooperating on contracts that reward performance.\" There is absolutely no research to date anywhere that shows that merit pay boosts teacher performance or students' achievement. None.\nThey state that \"private sector investment in public education\" is on the rise. They are right. The Common Core standards, and new PARCC assessments among other things will create historic-level profits for Pearson publishing, database management companies, computer sales, e-learning companies, and private test preparation and tutoring companies. There has been a national buzz among hedge fund investors rallying for interest in charter school investments because of the potential for financial return.\nThey also state that the city's \"population is beginning to grow.\" Correct again. Education reform matters greatly in the maelstrom of gentrification. To attract white upper middle-class families into the city, development magnates must also offer appealing alternatives to the crumbling under-funded city schools occupied largely by poor black and brown children.\nThe organization which Mr. Wilcox and his co-authors serve is the Baltimore Community Foundation (BCF), whose largest contributor is the Annie E. Casey Foundation which promotes charter schools, school choice, and public-private partnerships. The BCF serves as a liaison for philanthropic giving. The BCF advocates for increased charter schools. One might consider that as education reform seeks to privatize education serves, philanthropic \"giving\" might yield some profitable returns. For example, the New Market Tax Credits offered from the U.S. Department of Treasury's Community Development Financial Institution Fund allows investors who subsidize charter schools and other projects in inner-city communities to write-off their donations, dollar-for-dollar, on their taxes. By using the NMTC, investors can double their money in no time.\nIf you want to know what's going to happen in Baltimore using this free market approach to education reform, simply follow what's happening in Chicago, New Orleans, New York, or Philadelphia. While the think-tanks and corporations are laughing all the way to the bank, none of these reforms have actually benefited the children they claim to serve. Community members and parents need to learn how to translate and make an informed decision based on the evidence given to us from these other locations, rather than be spoon-fed lofty platitudes proffered by corporate-minded policy which has no research to support its success for our children.\nMorna McDermott, Catonsville",

The people could have descended from the ark inhabitants, but scientist lack evidence on the animals descending from the ark. Finding the ark does not give evidence of the ancestry of all creatures.

Furthermore, the author asserts that locating ark remains forces paleontologists to re-decipher fossils as an effect of the flood, not of many years buildup. Old-earth creationists relates fully with the geological proof of the arks old age existence. There are no findings of the ark, although several informants alleged to have seen it. In reality the ark will never be located, most likely it no longer exists. Noah maybe used the ark wood for rebuilding the society. God declared to Noah never again would He destroy the world with water. Noah was clear he had no use for the ark maybe he dismantled it for constructing material. Moreover, creation theorists Baumgardner, and Barnett claim after the flood the land would have resembled a lifeless wilderness deprived of trees and plants.

Of course, that doesn\u2019t mean he was hustling on the street, dodging bullets. I know he had a privileged upbringing that no doubt isolated him from much of the violence and strife that some people grew up with in the city...\"\nShe continues, \"...He\u2019s not apologizing. He\u2019s not backing down. He knows both sides of the street. He knows the game. And he knows how to WIN IT.

        "raw_content": "Most consumers don\u2019t know exactly what all of these various terms mean, but they probably have ideas of what they think they mean. Ideas that are often wrong. And misunderstanding terms on labels can cause us to sometimes\u2014maybe far more often than we realize\u2014purchase products we don\u2019t really want.\nThe only way to prevent this is to get educated and super savvy as a consumer. Take the simple quiz below to test your knowledge. After you answer the questions, view the answers to get the real scoop on what various food label terms mean and what the FDA and food laws require, and get up to date on any information you may not have known before.\nSAVVY SHOPPER QUIZ\nAvoiding Gluten and Food Allergens\nTrue or False: \u201cGluten-free\u201d on a label means the product is completely free of the problematic protein gluten.\nTrue or False: Food manufacturers are required to identify on food labels when any of the top eight food allergens are included in a product, and also when food allergens might be present in the manufacturing facility.\nTrue or False: The top eight food allergens that are required to be identified on food labels are wheat, soy, milk, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, and eggs.\nChoosing Natural and Organic Foods\nTrue or False: Buying foods that are labeled \u201cNatural\u201d is a good way to avoid foods that contain laboratory-created genetically modified organisms (GMOs).\nTrue or False: Food labeled \u201cUSDA Organic\u201d is produced without using GMOs, ionizing radiation, most conventional pesticides, and fertilizers made with synthetic ingredients or sewage sludge.\nUnderstanding Free-Range and Grass-Fed\nTrue or False: Chicken and eggs labeled \u201cfree range\u201d come from chickens that freely forage around a farmyard.\nTrue or False: \u201cGrass-fed\u201d beef means beef from cattle raised entirely on grass.\n1. False. In order for a food manufacturer to be able to use the term \u201cgluten-free\u201d on its label, a food must contain less than 20 parts per million (ppm) gluten, a standard many gluten sensitivity experts think is too high. To choose food products with stricter standards, seek out products that have been gluten-free certified by the Celiac Sprue Association or by the Gluten Intolerance Group (which is behind the Gluten-Free Certification Organization or GFCO). These organizations have programs that certify foods that test below 5 or 10 ppm, respectively.\n2. False. The Food Allergen Labeling\nand Consumer Protection Act requires\nfood manufacturers to identify only those allergens that are in the ingredients of the product, not allergens that might also be present in the manufacturing facility and might be picked up in the food through cross-contamination. Some manufacturers voluntarily disclose the allergens that are present in their facilities. But others do not, and they are not required by law to do so. If you have severe food allergies and don\u2019t see a facility allergen statement on the label, don\u2019t assume the facility is allergen-\nfree. Rather, contact companies directly to check what allergens may be present in their facilities.\n3. True. The law requires that food labels identify the food source names of these eight major allergens used to make the food. When the usual name of an ingredient (e.g., buttermilk) is a major food source name (i.e., milk), that qualifies. Otherwise, the name of the food source of a major\nfood allergen must appear in parentheses following the name of the ingredient.\nExample: \u201clecithin (soy),\u201d \u201cflour (wheat),\u201d and \u201cwhey (milk)\u201d\nOr the name of the allergen source must immediately appear after or next to the list of ingredients in a \u201ccontains\u201d statement.\nExample: \u201cContains Wheat, Milk, and Soy.\u201d\n4. False. This is one of the biggest misconceptions out there. Meat, poultry, and egg products labeled \u201cnatural\u201d must be minimally processed and contain no artificial ingredients, but the term does not indicate how the animals were raised or, in the case of plants, how they were grown. Furthermore, in\na move that\u2019s exceedingly frustrating to non-GMO advocates, the FDA has declined\nto determine whether foods containing genetically modified ingredients may be labeled as \u201cNatural,\u201d \u201cAll Natural,\u201d or \u201c100% Natural.\u201d The FDA also has declined to give\nan official definition of \u201cnatural\u201d to use in food labeling. However, the FDA has not objected to the use of the term if the food does not contain added color, artificial flavors, or synthetic substances. What this means to shoppers is that products labeled \u201cnatural\u201d can\u2014and often do\u2014contain pesticides, GMOs, and other substances that people might normally assume aren\u2019t present in\ntruly natural foods.\n5. True. All those agricultural methods are excluded from organic farming. Before a\nfood product can be labeled \u201cUSDA Organic,\u201d\na government-approved certifier inspects the farm where the food is grown to make sure the farmer is following the rules. In the case\nof organic meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy products, they must come from animals that are fed organic feed and are not given antibiotics or growth hormones.\n6. False. Contrary to what most shoppers assume, in order to label chicken or eggs\n\u201cfree range,\u201d you only have to offer the chickens \u201caccess to the outside,\u201d according\nto the USDA. The term unfortunately doesn\u2019t mean the chickens are freely prancing around\nin the outdoors.\n7. False. Grass-fed animals receive most of\ntheir nutrients from grass, but they still can\nbe fattened up on grain. To get meat from animals that are fed grass their entire lives and have numerous nutritional benefits, look for meat that is labeled both grass-fed and grass-finished, or 100% grass-fed. To get beef from cattle raised on organic grass, look for meat that is labeled organic and 100% grass-fed.\nFour simple strategies for avoiding and relieving symptoms.\nGMO Reality Check\nRecent news and telling signs that more people are moving away from genetically modified foods",

        "raw_content": "Home\u203aReal Estate Investing Basics\u203aI Have $40,000 and I Don\u2019t Know Where to Start\u2026\nI Have $40,000 and I Don\u2019t Know Where to Start\u2026\nSuch was the title of a recent thread on the BiggerPockets.com Forums. I can\u2019t help myself \u2013 let\u2019s consider options.\nBut before I dig into the content, I\u2019d like to preface this article by saying that any suggestion contained herein is more like me saying here\u2019s what I would do with $40,000, which may or may not be the right answer for the individual who posed the question on the forum or any of your reading this.\nFurthermore, while I will be using plausible examples to outline thinking which in my opinion holds merit, it must be noted that for those of you who feel the need to ask this question on a public forum, the only right answer for you is EDUCATION! For now, you need to invest into your education, not property \u2013 you are not ready for property if you need to ask this question\u2026\nMany of you know that I specialize in creative finance methods with the aim of achieving 100% leverage whenever possible. I\u2019ve written about it in other articles but this boils down to my belief that leverage is one of the greatest keys to unlocking the power of the real estate investment vehicle. Properly applied, leverage has the potential to amplify our investment returns and can create opportunities which may otherwise be out of reach. With this in mind, let us pencil several scenarios for deployment of $40,000 of available capital.\nSingle Family Dwelling for All Cash\nIn many parts of the county including Ohio, which is where I live and work, $40,000 easily buys a single family property which would rent for $550 per month. After deducting about $120/month for property taxes and $70/month for fire insurance, and deducting 20% ($110/month) for vacancy and repairs, a property like this will generate monthly net operating income (NOI) of roughly $250. And since there wouldn\u2019t be a mortgage in this case, the NOI would flow through directly to Cash Flow. So, what would be the ROI on this investment in terms of Cash on Cash?\nCash on Cash = Annual Cash Flow / Invested Capital\nCash on Cash = $3,00 / $40,000 = 7.5%\nThis is pretty good \u2013 it certainly beats the snot out of stocks, bonds, and all the rest of the conventional investment vehicles. But, let\u2019s take this one step further\u2026\nPull out Cash\nLet\u2019s say that having collected two or three months of rent you go to a bank and apply for a mortgage. All things being equal, the bank agrees to leverage your house 70% LTV, and if the house appraises for the 40k that you\u2019ve got in it (if you do things the right way it should appraise for much more), then you\u2019ll be able to put a mortgage on this rental house in the amount of $28,000.\nNaturally, this loan would necessitate a monthly payment, which at today\u2019s rates of around 4% would be right around $135/month for a 30-year amortized note. After this mortgage payment, your cash flow would come down from $250/month to $115/month. But, you\u2019ve just re-capitalized yourself to the tune of $28,000, which is tax-free for life since it is borrowed money \ud83d\ude42\nQuestion \u2013 Was it worth it to give up $135/month of cash flow in exchange for $28,000 of tax-free money in the bank? You are a pretty smart cookie\u2026\nAnd what does this do to your ROI in terms of Cash on Cash? Remember, even though your cash flow is down by $135/month, your invested capital left in the deal is now only $12,000 since you pulled the rest out:\nCash on Cash = ($115/month x 12) / $12,000 = 11.5%\nFor many reasons, some of which I described in other articles, I prefer investments in multi-unit space. Let us consider the impact of using the available capital to acquire a small multiplex.\nIn my neck of the woods, it is possible to buy a 4-plex for around $120,000. Let\u2019s say that instead of utilizing the equity to buy a house outright, you use the money to make a down-payment on a $120,000 4-plex. You would not need the entire 40k since the 25% down-payment requirement would necessitate that you put down $30,000 in this case.\nEach apartment in a building like this should rent for at least $500 per month, giving you gross revenue of $2,000. After deducting property taxes of about $300/month and fire insurance of $100/month, as well as holding back 20% for vacancy and management expenses, you would be left with a monthly NOI of $1,250.\nFinancing $90,000 at 4% over 30 years will cost you about $430/month. This would leave you with cash flow of $820/month, which constitutes a 33% Cash on Cash return!\nCash on Cash = ($820/month x 12) / $30,000 = 33%\nI don\u2019t know about you, but I\u2019ll take $820/month of diversified Cash Flow any day of the week, even if I have to trade it for 30k. But those of you who know me well, know that I would get there without having to put $30,000 down\u2026\nThere are many ways to play the game of real estate investing, and there are many opportunities to invest 40k. At then end of the day, though, until you KNOW what to do with the money to the point that you do not need to ask for advice, the best investment is in your education. I hope that this article serves as a step in this process\u2026\nPhoto: Christopher Schoenbohm\nJunior on June 11, 2013 9:09 am\nGreat article Ben!! I love reading your work, especially when it boils down to financing multi-units!\nThanks so much Junior!\nKaren Rittenhouse on June 11, 2013 9:31 am\nLove your statement: \u201cFor now, you need to invest into your education, not property \u2013 you are not ready for property if you need to ask this question\u2026\u201d\nAGREED !!!\nAs you said, there are so many answers to that question. Like you, we hold onto our cash. I would tell them not to use their money for purchases, but (1) for education, (2) spread it out over time for marketing, and learn to buy creatively.\nThanks for a great, detailed post. Fabulous.\nWe are birds of a feather Karen. Thanks for reading!\nBen, I see why you like multi family now. In my neck of the woods a four plex getting $500 per unit would be a great deal at $150k. Market value is closer to 200k -220k. While I can pick up sfr(or could until market spiked) for 100k fix up a little and rent for $1200\nJim Pratt on June 11, 2013 9:43 am\nHi Ben, nice post. In my case I did a HELOC for $50,000, went out and bought an REO for $50,000. After rehabbing, refinance got all my money back, rented it out, getting $250 a month positive cash flow. Did that 4 times the first year and still had the $50,000 HELOC. Wish I\u2019d known how to do this earlier.\nP.S. I do all the rehabbing myself, keeps the cost down and gives me something to do.\nRight on Jim! Question \u2013 what are you going to do when the price tag is 500k?\nJim Pratt on June 11, 2013 12:12 pm\nSELL!!!!\nLOL What if you want to buy for $500k \u2013 your line is $50k? The same technique will not do \ud83d\ude42 Thoughts?\nBeen retired for over twenty five years because of my property investments. The ones I bought with the HELOC in 08-09 (6) were in good locations, all 4b/1.5+ baths, large corner lots. Don\u2019t need any more (17) unless I get too bored.\nNow be honest Jim \u2013 aren\u2019t you bored?\nTony Tran on June 11, 2013 9:47 am\nI have a question about the $28k being financed. I have not found a bank that would finance a home that low of a principal. Is there a particular one that you can recommend?\nBen Leybovich on June 11, 2013 10:01 am\nYou are correct, which is one of the reasons I stay away from SFR. If you buy them cheap enough so that they cash flow, then they are too cheep for most banks. I used small numbers in this article because most people can wrap their heads around 50k with more ease than 500k.\nI have a thought for you, and everyone reading:\nIf the bank doesn\u2019t think that this dinky house is good enough collateral for them, why do you think it is something that you want to own. Think like the banks!!!\nThank you so much for reading Tony!\nJohn Thedford on June 11, 2013 9:59 am\nThanks Ben. Great article. Education is the key. This is why I spend time on BP as well as local REIA meetings and read as much as possible. All cash vs pulling cash out vs leverage to a higher degree are three choices every investor faces. At some point many investors use all three techniques as their situation changes over time. This blog helps answer the age old question what to do with cash! Thanks!\nThank you for reading and commenting John!\nJohn Thedford on June 11, 2013 10:27 am\nThank you Ben. I recently did a cash out of a free and clear property and used the money to buy two more. The free and clear has only been a cash drain but I finally did the right thing and put it to good use. The two new properties are cash flowing and now I am enjoying the rising prices in the local market, tax advantages of rentals, cash flows, and getting something out of my free and clear property besides a HUGE tax bill. There is still enough equity in the free and clear to purchase another unit when I find the right deal. Debt used to scare me but I finally learned there is nothing to fear as long as you have reserves and a Plan B if things go slightly awry.\nI agree John. Leverage is the single greatest advantage of real estate \ud83d\ude42\nDave Van Horn on June 11, 2013 11:00 am\nInteresting article Ben. You could also lend out your $40K as a private money lender. You could lend it to an investor on BP, who needs money for a $60,000 (ARV) property. You can get 15% on your $40K with 3-6 points for a 1 year interest-only note (with a prepayment penalty of 2 points if the investor pays you back in less than 6 months).\nSure, you won\u2019t get appreciation with a property but you also won\u2019t get all the work that comes along with it.\nJust another idea for this person to consider.\nAbsolutely, and one of these days may get a call from me. However, for now I want the possibility of appreciation as well as the preferred tax treatment. Furthermore, if you know me, there would not be any down-payment in the deal\u2026:)\nBut you are right \u2013 there is a time and a place for doing what you are suggesting!\nBrandon Turner on June 11, 2013 11:28 am\nBen \u2013 I felt like I was reading my own writing on this one. We are eerily similar, in a good way. Great post.\nYou are not kidding \u2013 scaarryy\u2026.\nJustin on June 11, 2013 2:50 pm\nYou said for the multi-family properties you\u2019d do it all without any of your own money (i.e. get the down payment from somewhere else). That sounds great, but just wondering how you would source this (especially as someone with little experience). Would you go for a private money lender at a steep interest rate? And how would you find them/structure the deal? Seeking advice as I am considering doing this as well.\nYour question is right on. First, I would do SFR with o down as well, it\u2019s just that I wouldn\u2019t bother with it now days. But I did when I first started. I am thinking of writing an article titled something like \u201c7 ways to buy a house with no money down\u201d or something \u2013 thoughts?\nI have been doing this for 8 years and I\u2019ve yet to use hard money. Not that it can\u2019t be done or is not appropriate in certain circumstances, but I found other ways.\nI can\u2019t tell you how I\u2019d do it because that depends a lot on the deal. Some times it involves owner-financing with a refi; sometimes short turm OPM; some times long-term OPM; sometimes a blend of private and institutional \u2013 I wrote about 200 pages on the subject, so I won\u2019t attempt it here in any more detail than this, but if you are serious about learning this stuff you should really check out CFFU \u2013 you\u2019ll find a lot of answers there http://justaskbenwhy.com/?page_id=3420\nLet me know your thoughts. Thanks for your comment and good luck!\nJustin C on June 12, 2013 12:35 pm\nThanks for your comment. I definitely would like to read that article. Would be interested in being in touch some more. Thanks for your suggestions\nTony Bingman on June 12, 2013 2:17 pm\nI,ve been in this business for twelve years and i have learned i need some education. In your book do you explain how investors can protect there properties from meth labs? There\u2019s no insurance company that will pay for the cleanup which is VERY costly. Thanks for your comment.\nTony \u2013 we learn every day. Meth labs are a real problem and there is no easy fix. As the matter of fact, meth labs and bugs such as bed-bugs are some of the biggest deterrent from multi-family. The problem spreads from unit to unit and is, like you said, very costly to remedy.\nWhat can I say \u2013 not much. We try to pick buildings that we think these problems will bypass, but we really can\u2019t stop these kinds of things. Whatever will be \u2013 will be. The only question is \u2013 do we stay away from investing in multi-family, or even any real property at all due to this\u2026I do not have a better answer Tony, sorry.\nSpatel on June 13, 2013 11:03 am\nShouldn\u2019t you NOI be $250 and not $350.\n$550 \u2013 120 \u2013 70 \u2013 110.\nDaniele on June 13, 2013 11:19 am\nKen Lavertu on June 13, 2013 12:59 pm\nSpatel,\nI noticed this error too. That would bring yield down a bit.\nI too have used my HELOC several times. Man, that HELOC has made me so much money and been very profitable for us! I\u2019m now buying 1st position mortgages and foreclosing on them and wholesaling them to investors in the area I buy them in.\nYeah guys \u2013 my bad \ud83d\ude42 SFR is much worse off than I wrote!\nKen \u2013 HELOC has done great things for me as well. Your strategy is very cool!\nThanks so much for reading and commenting guys!\nLOL Yes it should \u2013 this is what happens when one writes articles at 1 am when the kids are asleep, and so are the contractors \ud83d\ude42\nOn the bright side, the CAC return number is even more skinny in the SFR case than I outlined due to the mistake. So, in a weird way the mistake actually builds my case even more\u2026 hahaha\nThank you for catching it Spatel!\nPaul Grgurich on June 13, 2013 11:38 am\nBen \u2013 thank you for sharing your vast knowledge, I am learning everyday and with articles like this it just fuels my desire to drive on harder! I am headed to your website right now\u2026\nThis is a wonderful comment indeed. Thank you Paul! And please let me know your impressions of my site,\nChris on June 13, 2013 3:40 pm\nCould you elaborate on how you would achieve the $820/month of diversified Cash Flow without putting $30k down? Thanks.\nThis is a very direct question that you ask. I wonder why\u2026regardless, a direct question deserves a direct answer:\nOn February 4th of this year I closed on a 10-plex. I needed to bring $5,300 to closing. The cash flow on day one stood at $1,000/mo. 3 months later, the cash flow now is now $1,300. By the end of 2014 the cash flow from that building will be $1,700 \u2013 $1,900/mo.\nYes \u2013 this deal required some capital; many others do not. I describe this deal and the technique I used in Podcast 14\nhttps://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2013/04/18/cash-flow-creative-finance-life-ben-leybovich/\nand this article\nhttps://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2013/05/07/10-plex-case-study/\nThis is one example. Every deal is different and my approach on every deal is different as well. I provide a multitude of examples and describe my thought process and techniques here: http://justaskbenwhy.com/cash-flow-freedom-builders/\nThanks for reading and commenting Chris\nThanks for the reply. I didn\u2019t ask the question to cause conflict, only for additional information. I figured since you stated you know of other ways to secure $820 without putting down $30k, why not ask.\nThe article you provided was indeed helpful. I\u2019m currently looking at purchasing 9 condo units for $244k. The area is decent, however I\u2019ve yet to visit the inside of the units. Some of the units from the pictures I saw need updating. I was thinking of forking over the down payment in cash, however, after reading your article I\u2019ll try to be as innovative as I can to secure down payment funds elsewhere rather than my personal account.\nLOL Chris,\nI am a landlord \u2013 what\u2019s conflict? I am glad the article helped. Good luck with the condo units!\nHenry on June 13, 2013 6:17 pm\nI\u2019m looking at a 4 unit asking price 129,900. Tenants pays own heat,etc. I have viewed it online and from the car. Waiting to hear from agent to view it up close. I have 20k from a HELOC. This is in upstate NY. What should I be looking for in cash flow and an offer? It will need siding, has a new roof, best I can tell units look in good overall condition, and it\u2019s 1 mile from a college and is on a nice street mixture of SF\u2019s and multi\u2019s.\nThanks for your comment but I have no idea how to answer your question. The formula for figuring out value is:\n1. What is the gross income?\n2. What are the operating costs?\n3. Figure out the NOI\n4. What is the going CAP Rate?\n5. NOI / CAP Rate = Value\nIf I may suggest to you that the phrasing of your question reveals a certain lack of experience. Perhaps a bit more education would not be a bad idea\u2026check out my website \u2013 lots of useful stuff there.\nThanks for your comment and good luck Henry!\nHenry on June 14, 2013 5:15 am\nunderstood, I have been reading about those items. I just waiting for the info on the property.\nChris C on June 14, 2013 8:39 pm\nok.. How would you get there without putting down 30k?\nExactly how depends on the deal Chris, but one thing is for sure \u2013 OPM \ud83d\ude42\nPatrick on July 27, 2013 7:09 pm\nGreat article. I am a first time investor with the same amount. I am currently in a dilemma. Would you suggest buying a SFH in West Toledo area which is built in 1930\u2019s (but updated with furnace, electical, remodelling done etc) ?. The cash flow is $350 after taking out taxes,insurance, maintenance etc. As the property is old \u2013 is there a chance of appreciation in future \u2013 say 5 years from now?. Is it wise to invest in such an old property?.\nBen Leybovich on July 27, 2013 10:24 pm\nIt is difficult for me to answer your questions without knowing your objectives. If you are interested in cash flow, then as this article suggests you are likely better off to invest in a multi-family. If you are hoping for appreciation, you should probably invest in a house where none of the upgrades have been done, and then do the upgrades to force appreciation.\nGenerally speaking, I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s wise to plan on appreciation in Toledo \u2013 that\u2019s just an opinion\u2026\nIf I may suggest that you do a bit more research into the marketplace before deploying capital \ud83d\ude42\nThanks for taking the time and good luck Patrick!\nPatr on July 28, 2013 10:21 am\nThanks Ben for the prompt response. Can someone have both the objectives together \u2013 Having Cashflow as well as appreciation in long term?.\nAlso the property which I am interested has an equity of around $10K build into it based on my purchase price and the appraised value. However my only concern is (which I would like you to share your thoughts) about the age of the property \u2013 as it was build in 1930\u2019s.\nThe age of the property presents unique challenges \u2013 obviously. Relative to value, however, the age can be a good thing or a bad thing; depends on your market.\nWhen we invest we should always attempt to go for CF and Equity. However, you are in Toledo man. It\u2019s not necessarily a happening place where you can expect too much appreciation. If you buy the right thing you can look forward to keeping up with inflation, but I don\u2019t know about more that than, and I don\u2019t know if this house qualifies as the \u201cright thing\u201d\u2026\nGood luck Patrick \ud83d\ude42\nTim Chasteen on December 24, 2014 1:38 pm\nCan you recommend any markets for buying small multi-units in the SW quarter of Ohio. I know you are in Lima, but figure you probably know a little bit about other markets like Dayton and Cincinnati as well.\nI feel like such a beginner asking this question but I admittedly have little experience and it is taking me a long time to find my target market. My buying criteria are buildings newer than 1950\u2019s, $200 cash flow per door or $100 with 100% financing, 15% cash-on-cash return, area with a good school district (at least rated B on the performance scale) and crime rates that are at or below average.\nI found a market that looks good for SFH\u2019s but the more of your articles I read the more attractive a 4-unit with a 3.5% FHA loan is looking.\nPeter on August 31, 2015 10:01 pm\nIn your first example you\u2019re investing $40,000 to receive $300 a month. With that it\u2019ll take more than 11 years to get your investment back\u2026 Why is this a good idea?",

        "raw_content": "The state of marijuana legalization in the United States is in flux, and Montana is no exception. Medical cannabis was legalized in Montana in 2004, and a 2016 ballot initiative further loosened the regulations.\nWhile proponents of medical marijuana are obviously pleased with the growing acceptance of the drug, it has had a less than positive impact on many pets. The Pet Poison Hotline reports a 330% increase in marijuana toxicity cases in pets over the past several years, correlating with the rise in legalization across the country.\nEducating yourself about pot and pets, including the dangers and how you can prevent an accidental poisoning, is the first step toward making sure your furry loved ones stay safe.\nWhy Pot and Pets Don\u2019t Mix\nTetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the active ingredient in marijuana, and is responsible for the effects of pot on humans and pets. Because pets are so much smaller than humans, it takes a much lower amount of THC to cause adverse reactions than it would for a person.\nSigns of marijuana toxicity in pets include:\nUrinary incontinence (dribbling)\nLoss of consciousness/coma\nBecause THC is fat soluble, pets may exhibit signs of marijuana poisoning for several hours or days following exposure as the chemical is slowly released from fat stores. If your pet has been exposed to marijuana or exhibits any of the above symptoms, seek medical help for him or her immediately.\nIngestion of marijuana is the most common way pets are exposed to THC. Edible goods made with marijuana, such as cookies, brownies, and pot butter, are irresistible to many pets (especially dogs). This is often the most troubling form of ingestion, as many of these treats contain chocolate or Xylitol, which are both toxic to our fur friends. Even if they don\u2019t contain these specific ingredients, the high sugar or fat contents can trigger the double whammy of pancreatitis in addition to the toxicity of the plant.\nMedical cannabis for pets is the subject of a growing debate. Some pet owners are administering medical marijuana to their pets, and some companies even sell pet treats laced with pot.\nThere is currently very little research to support the benefits of medical marijuana for pets, including proper dosage amounts. At this time, it is not approved by any professional veterinary organization.\nProtecting Your Pal\nAs with any toxic substance, the best way to keep your pet safe is to store medical marijuana and other marijuana-based products out of your pet\u2019s reach. Never leave remnants in an open trash container or compost bin where pets may find it. Marijuana smoking should be done in a separate room, away from pets, to minimize their exposure to secondhand smoke.\nPlease don\u2019t hesitate to reach out to the staff at Billings Animal Family Hospital with your questions and concerns about pot and pets.",

        "raw_content": "I'm 93, and if I haven't already been good enough to go to heaven, I guess it's too late for me.\nI'm 93 and I know I don't have much longer to live. I've always tried to be a good person, but now I'm beginning to wonder if I've been good enough. I very much want to go to heaven, but if I haven't already been good enough, I guess it's too late for me to do anything about it. Is this right?\nNo, you\u2019re not right in concluding that it\u2019s too late for you to get into heaven\u2014but not for the reason you probably think.\nLet me explain by asking you a question: How good do you think you have to be before God will let you into heaven? Do you just have to have slightly more good deeds than bad deeds? Or do you have to have more than that\u2014say, three-fourths good deeds to one-fourth bad deeds, or even 90 percent good deeds?\nThe Bible\u2019s answer may startle you: You need 100 percent good deeds. In other words, God\u2019s standard is nothing less than perfection, and even one sin would be enough to keep you out of heaven. This is because God is perfect, and even one sin makes you guilty in His eyes. The Bible says, \u201cFor whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it\u201d (James 2:10).\nDoes this mean we have no hope? No, and the reason is because of what Christ has already done for us. On the cross, all our sins were transferred to Him, and He took the punishment we deserve. Now all we must do is accept the gift God offers us\u2014the gift of His forgiveness. Give yourself to Christ today, and ask Him to take away your sins and save you. God bless you.",

        "raw_content": "http://www.blissful-wisdom.com/corporate-executives-deny-57-million-americans-healthcare.html\nRobert Reich connects the dots on the economy, in less than 2 minutes and 15 seconds.\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTzMqm2TwgE&feature=player_embedded\nI recently watched Michael Moore's documentary titled: \"SiCKO'' http://www.youtube.com/watch?hl=en&v=a7pCaK0aASE&gl=US Every American needs to view this in its entirety. The years of misinformation regarding the benefits of a Universal Healthcare system, will be quickly replaced by straightforward knowledge of the benefits such a plan can offer all Americans. It will reveal how ''dummied-down'' the misinformed public have become due to misinformation aired daily across mainstream news broadcasts and talk shows.\nOn the other hand, Canadians need to view this film as well, to ensure that their Universal Social Healthcare system may never be dismantled by any future government's sinister intentions. A point to consider is that the 'corporate lobby' has been pushing Canadian politicians to make changes to the Canada Health Act over the last thirty years. Changes that have undoubtedly diminished the quality of healthcare in Canada.\nPresently in Canada, ever citizen enjoys the lack of red-tape that Canadian health care offers. Canadians experience a comfort knowing their health concerns will be taken care of when they arrive at a clinic or hospital emergency ward. Canadians are not going to find themselves in debt by having their health concerns taken care of. This is why Tommy Douglas and Lester Pearson created Canada's Universal Healthcare system over fifty years ago. Their intention was that no health related issue should ever drive a family into bankruptcy. However, when a government refuses to tax the corporate sector in order to maintain the funding necessary for a functional and efficient universal healthcare system, then the underfunded system begins to look as though it needs 'privatizing'. A successful universal healthcare set-up needs proper government funding. See \"declining corporate tax rates\" below.\nMore than 9 million US adults lost Health Insurance in the recent recession.http://members.beforeitsnews.com/story/1522/329/More_Than_9_Million_U.S._Adults_Lost_Health_Coverage_During_Recession,_Finds_Study.html\nThis does not happen in Canada, Britain, France or Cuba....because of Universal Healthcare.\nThe film \"Sicko\" illustrates that Canada, Britain, France and Cuba are some of the many countries enjoying the benefits of a Universal healthcare set-up. It becomes apparent that Americans are being duped by their 'lobbied' government officials; duped by the Health Insurance Management Organizations, and by the American Medical Association. Around 50 million Americans either have no health insurance, or do not qualify for Health Insurance benefits. Millions of those who are 'allegedly' covered under their company's Health Insurance plan discover, when a health issue arises, that the Health Management Organization handling their claim has a long list of criteria used to ''deny'' insurance claims. After watching the documentary, any American will soon realize they have been lied to, misled, misinformed and set-up by those corporate executives and politicians who profit off of \"denying\" healthcare benefits to Americans.\nA friend pointed out to me that in Australia, their Universal Social Healthcare plan covers all dental work for children as well.\n15 Executives Who Get Paid Millions To Deny Americans Health Care\nhttp://www.dailykos.com/story/2010/03/19/847982/-15-Executives-Who-Get-Paid-Millions-To-Deny-You-Health-Care\nThe film \"Sicko\" by M. Moore, illustrates how corporate-friendly news broadcasts in the US, have kept the people misinformed. The next question that arises is: \"In what other ways are we being lied to?\"\nIn the film, one salient point made by a French citizen was this: \"In France, the government is afraid of its citizens; while in America, the citizens are afraid of their government.\"\nChew on that for awhile.\nFor Canadians who wonder why our schools are closing, our tuition fees are increasing for aspiring college and university students, our roads are deteriorating, and our Universal Healthcare system has gradually introduced user fees and added pharmaceutical medication costs where none existed before.....just take a look at the reduced tax rates for the corporate sector over the last 50 years. See below.\nThe Failing American Healthcare System\nHere is an article regarding why the American health care system is not meeting the needs of the American public....and is the most costly in the world.\nMy New Warning: Avoid THESE Medical Treatments Whenever Possible\nhttp://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2011/05/09/unnecessary-procedures-hospitalizations-drugs-drive-up-health-care-costs.aspx\nHow the 'Corporate Welfare' Fraud works:\nOrganization for Economic Co-operation and Development -- OECD-- involves 34 countries.\nhttp://www.oecd.org/document/1/0,3343,en_2649_201185_1889402_1_1_1_1,00.html\nThe OECD member countries are lobbied (bought off) by executives of international corporations to lower corporate tax rates. Then, as one member-country at a time reduces corporate tax rates, the pressure is put on remaining member-countries to lower their corporate rates in order to compete \"globally\". The whole reduction in corporate taxes has been foisted on 34 member nations intentionally. Government revenues have depleted, and the weakened economies are justified as ''keeping up with declining international corporate tax rates''. It is a complete scam by the wealthiest CEO's on the planet. It goes under the guise of \"being competitive internationally\". I am but a simple man, however, I surmise that corporate tax cuts by OECD member nations has been a well-orchestrated, outright money-grab by the international corporateers.\nExample of how Lobbying (buying off politicians) works with regard to corporate fraud:\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKjq_R2bZxA\nPrice of a gallon of gasoline in the OECD countries is double that of many non-member states:\nWhy do globalists charge such horrendous rates to their clientele, while at the same time ask for reduced tax rates?\nAll OECD member countries have gasoline prices ranging from $3.50 to $8.50 a gallon.\nAustralia Austria Belgium Canada Chile Czech Republic Denmark Estonia Finland France Germany Greece Hungary Iceland Ireland Israel Italy Japan Korea Luxembourg Mexico Netherlands Norway New Zealand Poland Portugal Slovak Republic Slovenia Spain Sweden Switzerland Turkey United Kingdom United States\nNon-member nations:\nIran, Yemen, Iraq, Indonesia, Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Nigeria and Bolivia have gas prices from $1 to 3 dollars a gallon.\nKuwait, Libya, Venezuela, Saudi Arabia which had their oil fields 'nationalized', redistribute profits within their own country, and charge their citizens under one dollar per gallon.\nAnd Oman is only 1.25/gallon.\nLibya and Saudi Arabia is 65 cents/ gallon, while Venezuela is 13 cents/gallon.\nWhy do corporate executives of Western-owned oil companies over-charge their own citizenry and other clientele across the globe? Or is it that, the increasing cost of gasoline in the West is a means for governments to recoup lost revenues that arise by under-taxing the corporate sector??\nHas war on Middle Eastern and African nations, to overtake oil resources, really helped the citizens of the West? Or are those profits remaining in the hands of the oligarchs who pull the political strings and wave the banner for never-ending war? The citizens of vanquished nations such as Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya will tell us a tale of how their countries have gone from modernization to devastation by 'Western military intervention'. On the other hand, rising taxes and rising gasoline prices are put on the shoulders of the citizens of OECD nations....to cover the losses inflicted by reduced 'corporate taxation'. Citizens are expected to pay for these instigated 'wars for corporate profit' in the Middle East.\nIs any of this making sense?\nExamples of Healthcare Corporate Fraud in America:\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_2gFsEHRRU\nexample of corporate fraud by Health Management Offices\nhttp://drx.typepad.com/psychotherapyblog/2008/08/hmo-whistleblow.html\nI am sure if one Google searches \"Health Management Corporate Fraud\", one will discover more.\nDeclining combined Federal and Provincial corporate tax rates in Canada:\n2013: 25% projected\nThese cuts mean our government looses a hundred billion dollars of former revenue, yearly. Those revenues are necessary: to maintain low tuition fees for students; to keep schools open; to meet the costs of an efficient universal healthcare system; to maintain renewed infrastructure spending, and to upkeep environmental maintenance projects. For example: When government reduces corporate taxes by 100 billion dollars over the course of fifteen years ....that means 100 billion dollars in revenue is not there the following year, and the following year, and the following year. This is how a country's economy is gutted by 'corporate welfare'.\nI discovered a 2006 report: http://www.pwc.com/en_CA/ca/tax/publications/ttc-0508-en.pdf where it states that leading corporate executives, who already enjoy multimillion dollar yearly bonuses, lobby the Canadian Federal and Provincial governments for even further tax cuts. I'll quote from the report: \"Canadian CEO's ranked tax regime reform as more important than environmental legislation, education, healthcare and labor laws\". The report went on to say that lobbying for lower tax rates in the varying tax codes across the globe was high on their boardroom agenda.\nTo put it simply: Our government officials are either 'bought off' to keep corporate tax rates low, or are obligated under IMF banking stipulations to abide by World Bank and World Trade agreements....resulting in hundreds of billions of lost revenues yearly....lost revenues that no longer fill our government coffers ... leaving diddly squat to cover costs of healthcare and education that were easily covered only forty short years ago.\nThis is why in my articles regarding war, 9/11, and how the world works, I constantly state that North Americans live in the illusion of a democracy because, in fact, our politicians sold out to the corporate sector years ago. We live in \"a rule of, and by, the wealthy.\"...and people need to wake up to this fact and do something about it. Shall we allow a handful of corporate-affiliated politicians and banking privateers to continue to exploit 35 million Canadians or, for that matter, 350 million Americans.\nDeclining Corporate Tax Rates in America\nShocking Truth About US Corporate Tax Rates\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d35wEHvJ1W4\n\"Although the United States has the second highest OECD statutory corporate tax, the background paper reports that U.S. corporate income tax revenue (federal and state) as a percentage of GDP (Gross Domestic Product) paradoxically is much lower than the OECD average \u2014 2.2 percent in the United States versus an OECD average of 3.4 percent \u2014 over the 2000-2005 period. In short, the OECD data present a conundrum \u2014 the United States has the second highest combined statutory corporate tax rate among OECD countries, yet is tied with Hungary in raising the fourth lowest amount of combined corporate income tax revenue relative to GDP in 2004.\"\nMeaning that the tax rate may be higher in the US, but tax loop-holes, write-offs and deductions leave the US Government collecting far less revenues from corporations than 30 out of 34 member nations.\nhttp://www.taxanalysts.com/www/features.nsf/Articles/FE9DCA58402875D7852573680064DA50?OpenDocument\nCorporate Tax Revenues in America are near historical lows:\n\"During the 1950s, federal corporate tax revenue averaged 4.7 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP). But by the most recent decade (2000-2009), corporate taxes had fallen to just 1.9 percent of GDP.\n10.7 percent of federal revenues were collected through the corporate tax in 2009; down from 29.8 percent of revenues in the 1950s.\"\nhttp://www.cbpp.org/cms/index.cfm?fa=view&id=3411\nRemember what that Frenchman said to Michael Moore in his documentary:\n\"In France, the government is afraid of its citizens; while in America, the citizens are afraid of their government.\" How about we change that... sometime soon.\nPass this forward. Vote for anyone but Conservative/Liberal or Republican/Democrat. And share the knowledge which John Perkins \"Confessions of an Economic Hit-Man\" spoke of: 'Pillage and plunder and economic blackmail by the corporate oligarchy is not okay'.\nor here: http://naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=83B1AF93091799E7CEB88C5C459A530B\nBelow is a short video production of how International Bankers control governments and the money system\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2R8LgD-jFtk&feature=related",

        "raw_content": "Formed as a project in 2007 by guitarist Olof M\u00f6rck and vocalist Jake E., Gothenburg, Sweden\u2019s AMARANTHE have carved their name into the annals of metal in capital letters. Band with an exceptional vision right from the outset, Amaranthe are an institution; trailblazers of a genre they almost single-handedly forged.\nAccording to some sources \u201cmelodic death metal\u201d and somewhere else pegged as \u201cmetalcore\u201d Amaranthe keeps driving genre purists loopy. Sporting three singers, each with characteristics of their own, Amaranthe constantly defies pigeonholing and sound like no one \u2013 and nothing \u2013 else. Morten L\u00f8we S\u00f8rensen's rhythmic thrust and Johan Andreassen's booming low-frequency assault lay the foundation to Olof M\u00f6rck\u2019s surgically precise, almost machine-like guitar riffing and layers of lush, contemporary keyboards. Timeless, glistening pop choruses coated with an icing of three layers of sublime singing from Elize Ryd's emotive, angelic voice and Henrik Englund Wilhelmsson\u2019s screams combine for a mix of edgy, powerful melodic music that is not only unique and unforgettable, it\u2019s trend-setting and inimitable as well. Amaranthe has already proved they\u2019re the next step in the evolution of metal.\nAfter seeing major labels chomping at the bit that was their one song Myspace demo in 2008, in April 2011 their eponymous debut album was released via the prestigious metal hotbed Spinefarm Records to worldwide acclaim, charting high in Sweden and Finland. Right off the bat throbbing to the pulse of the digital music revolution, \u201cAmaranthe\u201d was the 84th most played album on Spotify in the whole world, counting all genres. After a completed run of 92 live shows after the release of their eponymous debut, the sextet returned to Hansen Studios in Ribe, Denmark where the Amaranthe magic has been plucked from the air since the days of the debut album.\nMarch 2013 saw the release of \u201cThe Nexus\u201d where everything was upped a notch. Featured was more of the band's innovative mix of melodic pop, harsh screamo metal, and techno-influenced hard rock. Extensive touring followed, more chart entries garnered (Top 10 entries\nboth in Sweden and Finland, #12 on US Billboard Heatseeker chart etc.).\nNow their career on an ever-upward trajectory, October 2014 saw the release of Amaranthe\u2019s 3rd outing MASSIVE ADDICTIVE. Third time seemed to be the charm, as the album immediately charted in six countries, even manning the pole position on the Billboard Heatseekers chart. The album also yielded Amaranthe\u2019s first major single hit with \u201cDrop Dead Cynical\u201d, which stayed several weeks at the top of USA's premier rock station, Sirius XM Octane, and had massive airplay all around the world.\nThe band\u2019s fourth album \u201cMaximalism\u201d was released in October 2016. The album charted everywhere, reaching #1 on the Billboard Heatseakers, Top 100 Billboard, #3 in Finland and even charted in Canada. Maximalism took a small, tiny step closer to pop on some of the songs, with the first single \u201cThat Song\u201d managing to incorporate pop with metal. Other singles \u201cFury\u201d and now the latest, \u201cBoomerang\u201d have all received massive radio play and even larger Spotify plays.\nFollowers and copycats come and go, but Amaranthe remains the leader of the pack.",

        "raw_content": "Buyer\u2019s Guide: Doorbell Cameras\nUnderstand all the features that the new crop of doorbell cameras may offer so you can pick the best device for your home.\nWhen it comes to home security, doorbell cameras have definitely arrived. They clearly show \u201cwho\u2019s there?\u201d and most can be conveniently configured with a smartphone, PC, or a smart home device, such as Amazon\u2019s Echo Dot. Depending on the model, the device may also let you converse with the person at the door and enjoy an array of other options. But with budget buys starting at around $50 and higher-end versions exceeding $300 (some require a cloud storage service subscription for video recordings), you may want advice on picking the right doorbell camera for your needs. Read on to compare features and check out our recommendations for the best doorbell cameras on the market, based on value and consumer satisfaction.\nRELATED: Leaving These 10 Things at Your Front Door Could Keep You Safe\nKey Considerations for Choosing the Best Doorbell Camera\nSo, what exactly sets apart the most reliable of doorbell cameras? Below, we\u2019ve outlined several of the features you\u2019ll want in this home security gadget, from the ideal viewability to video quality.\nIn order to sync the doorbell to your smartphone, you\u2019ll need to download a mobile app. Through the app, you\u2019ll configure all the doorbell\u2019s features, such as real-time monitoring, taking a still photo, and remotely starting video recording.\nThirty years ago, virtually all doorbells were hard-wired into a home\u2019s electrical system, but in the past two decades, manufacturers have been offering battery-powered models that don\u2019t require wiring. If your home already has a wired doorbell, you can replace it with a wired doorbell camera, and you\u2019ll never have to worry about replacing batteries. If you don\u2019t have a wired doorbell, go with a battery-operated model.\nIn most cases, you\u2019ll want a doorbell camera with a wide range of view so you can see not only what\u2019s directly in front of the door but also to both sides. Some doorbell cameras offer a full 180-degree range of view, allowing a full half-circle in front of the doorbell. Others offer a reduced range of view, some as narrow as 90 degrees. A range of view of at least 160 degrees should provide an adequate viewing area.\nMost doorbell cameras offer some type of video recording\u2014either continuous video recording (CVR) or motion-activated recording\u2014which can be played back later. Playback is important should you need to review a portion of the video; for example, if you can\u2019t find a package, you can go back and see where the delivery driver put it. Motion-activated recording stops when no more motion is detected, so you don\u2019t have to sift through hours of recorded video to find a single event. Both CVR and motion-activated recording can be stored in the following three ways.\nTo a local wired digital video recorder (DVR).\nTo a removable micro-SD disk, inserted in the doorbell.\nTo the cloud, which usually requires purchasing a subscription from the manufacturer.\nThe higher the video camera resolution, the clearer the video playback will be. Some of the cheapest models offer modest resolutions, as low as 480p (pixels), which can result in a grainy picture. Many top-of-the-line doorbell cameras are now beginning to offer resolutions up to 1080p, similar in picture quality to a newer television.\nThe most popular feature on doorbell cameras is a motion detection that can be configured to send an alert to your cell phone the instant someone approaches the door. If you live on a busy street full of pedestrian traffic and bicycles, however, you might not want frequent alerts every time someone passes by. Motion detection on some doorbell cameras can be configured to start recording video rather than sending an alert if you get too many \u201cfalse\u201d alerts.\nMost camera doorbells come with night vision capability. When it gets dark outside, they automatically switch to infrared night vision mode so you can still see whoever approaches your door. Like daylight imagery, the higher the camera\u2019s resolution, the better the image will\nbe when night vision is activated.\nAUDIO ABILITY\nThe newest feature in doorbell cameras is the ability to communicate verbally with the person at your door, via a smartphone or a smart home device. This feature comes in handy if you want to give a delivery person instructions on where to leave a package or ask visitors to state their business.\nMany camera doorbells operate as stand-alone recording devices, but others are designed to integrate with a smart home security system and can be configured to function with products such as Alexa, Google Assistant, or The Nest. If you have smart home devices, make sure the doorbell you buy can be configured to work with the devices you already own.\nKeeping these favorable features in mind, we\u2019ve scoured the market to narrow in on three of the best doorbell cameras. The models below all come with top marks from real-life consumers like yourself, so you can count on your purchase bringing you some peace of mind.\nEversecu Smart Home Doorbell with Motion Detection ($55.99)\nFor the budget-minded, the inexpensive yet dependable Eversecu Smart Home Doorbell with Motion Detection offers some advanced features, including motion detection, night vision, and real-time audio ability. The Eversecu provides 720p resolution and comes with a 166-degree range of view. The motion detector picks up movement within a 120-degree range and will alert your smartphone. The battery-operated unit is a good choice for homes or apartments that lack an existing wired doorbell, with battery life (lithium-ion battery sold separately) lasting two to six months, depending on how often the camera is triggered by motion. Video records to a micro-SD card (sold separately) inserted in the back of the doorbell. Amazon customers give the Eversecu 3.8 out of five stars for its sleek look, ease of smartphone configuration, waterproof case, and clear audio ability. It comes with a limited one-year warranty.\nVodool Smart Wireless Doorbell with Night Vision ($89.99)\nPowered by 4 AA batteries, the Vodool Smart Wireless Doorbell with Night Vision receives 4.1 out of five stars from Amazon buyers who appreciate its motion detection, 166-degree range of view, and easy installation. When the Vodool senses motion, it starts recording video in 720p resolution to a micro-SD card (sold separately), and it can also be configured to send an alert to your smartphone, smart home device, or PC. The Vodool is compatible with Amazon\u2019s Echo devices, allowing you to talk to the person at the door through an Echo Dot as well as through your smartphone. In addition to the micro-SD card, buyers can subscribe to optional cloud video storage, which is free for three months and costs $2.95 per month for continued service. The Vodool comes with a limited one-year warranty.\nRing Video Doorbell 2 ($139)\nWith 1080p resolution, the Ring Video Doorbell 2 offers excellent video quality\u2014both during the day and at night. Amazon buyers give the Ring 2 3.9 out of five stars, praising its quick motion detection and 160-degree range of view. They also like its audio clarity and the ability to configure the doorbell to work with Echo devices. Motion-triggered video records directly to the cloud, which requires a $30 annual subscription fee after one month of free service (no other video storage option is available). The Ring 2 can be hard-wired into existing wiring, or it can be operated via a rechargeable battery pack. With the downloadable app, you can switch on live-view video at any time from your smartphone or tablet. It comes with Lifetime Theft Protection (the company will replace it free if it gets stolen) as well as a one-year limited warranty.\nBuyer's Guide: Wireless Doorbells\n10 Welcoming Front Door Paint Colors",

        "raw_content": "Flu Can Lead to Additional Health Problems in Older Adults\nThe flu can be dangerous for any individual, but in older adults, its effects can be particularly severe. In fact, after a senior citizen has the flu, he or she will be more susceptible to having a heart attack, stroke, or disability. This increased risk of serious medical conditions can linger for weeks even after he or she has recovered from the flu. More specifically, in the two to four weeks after an older individual has recovered from the flu, he or she will have three to five times the normal risk of having a heart attack, and wo to three times the normal risk of having a stroke. Essentially, the flu can create a domino-like effect in older adults, leading to more severe and lasting health problems, some of which can even be fatal.\nWhen anyone has the flu, he or she often will suffer from a fever and body aches, which is due to the systemic inflammatory response in the body. This is what causes further medical problems in seniors. As a result, seniors make up more than half of all flu-related hospitalizations, and more than 80% of flu-related deaths. In response to these statistics, physicians strongly recommend that seniors get a flu shot, especially one of the enhanced flu shots that are specifically designed for adults.\nA failure to monitor and adequately treat flu symptoms by long-term care facilities can cause serious medical conditions or even death if left neglected. The Wisconsin nursing home neglect lawyers of Boller & Vaughan know how devastating it can be when you entrust your loved one to the care of others, only to have that trust completely betrayed.

        "raw_content": "Rent The Angel's Game\nNarrator: Dan Stevens\nFrom master storyteller Carlos Ruiz Zaf\u00f3n, author of the international phenomenon The Shadow of the Wind, comes The Angel's Game\u2014a dazzling new page-turner about the perilous nature of obsession, in literature and in love.\n\"The whole of Barcelona stretched out at my feet and I wanted to believe that, when I opened those windows, its streets would whisper stories to me, secrets I could capture on paper and narrate to whomever cared to listen . . .\"\nIn an abandoned mansion at the heart of Barcelona, a young man, David Mart\u00edn, makes his living by writing sensationalist novels under a pseudonym. The survivor of a troubled childhood, he has taken refuge in the world of books and spends his nights spinning baroque tales about the city's underworld. But perhaps his dark imaginings are not as strange as they seem, for in a locked room deep within the house lie photographs and letters hinting at the mysterious death of the previous owner.\nLike a slow poison, the history of the place seeps into his bones as he struggles with an impossible love. Close to despair, David receives a letter from a reclusive French editor, Andreas Corelli, who makes him the offer of a lifetime. He is to write a book unlike anything that has ever existed\u2014a book with the power to change hearts and minds. In return, he will receive a fortune, and perhaps more. But as David begins the work, he realizes that there is a connection between his haunting book and the shadows that surround his home.\nOnce again, Zaf\u00f3n takes us into a dark, gothic universe first seen in the Shadow of the Wind and creates a breathtaking adventure of intrigue, romance, and tragedy. Through a dizzingly constructed labyrinth of secrets, the magic of books, passion, and friendship blend into a masterful story.\nBookLender review by Morton on 2010-11-12 15:54:33\nWhat a Wonderful book! It is a darker, and perhaps more profound novel, than Shadow Of The Wind, but is recognizably by the same author. The main theme of the book is that of a Faustian deal made by a poor but extremely ambitious young man who, while not believing in the existence of souls is perfectly willing to sell his own for literary and monetary success. What makes the novel so compelling is that even the minor characters seem to come alive under Mr. Ruiz Zafon's riveting style as translated into English by Lucia Graves who--if I'm not mistaken--is the daughter of the poet, Robert Graves.If you like fine literature with more than a touch of magic realism, do read this book. You will be in for a treat.",

        "raw_content": "Apr 30 Iran\u2019s Currency Crisis Spurs Action in Financial Reform Efforts\nIn the 2017 anti-money laundering (AML) index report published by the Basel Institute on Governance, which develops standards for financial regulations and compliance, Iran topped the list of the world\u2019s 10 highest-risk countries failing to comply with AML standards. This index, published since 2007, ranks 140 countries in terms of their efforts combatting dirty money transactions and countering terrorist financing (CTF). Iran has made little progress to date in improving its standing. Yet, the recent reunification of Iran\u2019s exchange rates by central bank is seen to be an effective step toward more economic transparency and part of wider efforts against smuggling and rent seeking in their diverse forms.\nThe high-risk assessment of Iran highlighted in the Basel Institute report is primarily due to weak AML/CFT regimes practiced in the jurisdiction. High rates of perceived corruption combined with poor financial sector regulations are major drivers of the structural and functional failures in the Iranian economy. Importantly, these are among the critical issues, which the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), an intergovernmental organization which develops politics to combat financial crime, had mandated Iran to address as part of its \"action plan.\"\nFollowing an extension granted in February, the deadline for Iran\u2019s compliance with FATF\u2019s action plans is set for June 2018. This means that Iranian authorities have limited time at their disposal to earn the continued suspension of counter measures against Iran. Lack of membership in organizations such as the World Trade Organization and the FATF, in particular, has led to a myriad of problems in the implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) nuclear deal agreed by Iran and E3+3 in 2015. Due to shortcomings in meeting FATF technical requirements and Basel II and III banking regulations, Iran has failed to expand its business and correspondent banking ties with International financial institutions, with significant consequences. For example, the number of letters of credit opened since \u201cImplementation Day\u201d has been far lower than expected.\nAs such, financial reform in Iran is motivated by the need to spur economic growth. The mandate that the Supreme Leader of Iran Ali Khamenei gave to the Rouhani government to start negotiations with world powers over Iran\u2019s nuclear program reflects the wider policy of the state to continue interacting with the international bodies on economic matters. To that end, cooperation with the FATF is set to carry on unless that authorization is withdrawn. Yet given the importance of such reforms, this authorization may remain in place regardless of what happens on May 12 with respect to President Trump\u2019s decision to extend sanctions waivers issued as part of the JCPOA.\nAccording to some estimates, the magnitude of organized money laundering in Iran amounts to some USD 26 billion per year. Transacting such sizeable amount of money outside the official financial system is impractical and requires that criminals abuse the conventional financial system to support their illegal activities. The Central Bank of Iran is seeking to increase its powers of supervision to monitor and prevent suspicious money transfers and smuggling of goods, ensuring the integrity of Iran\u2019s financial system.\nThe central bank's recent moves to stem currency market volatility will make financing of illegal businesses in the economy more difficult. CBI\u2019s new policies prohibit purchasing or holding of more than USD 10,000 or its equivalent in international currencies. In the same parallel, any bank account that whose aggregate debits and credits exceed IRR 50 billion rials will be subject to anti-money laundering probes to monitor for suspicious activities.\nAlthough it will remain possible to find loopholes in the new regulations, these moves reflect significant progress after years of unfulfilled promises to unify the dual foreign exchange rate regime. The move is also viewed as an important step towards obtaining approval from FATF in respect to countering money laundering and removing the rentierism prevalent in the country\u2019s largely state-controlled economy.\nIn addition, based on the new legislation, revenues from petrochemical exports that are not repatriated to the country will be subject to greater supervision. Firms in the industry will now be required to report their trade transactions in the same system used to record the oil companies\u2019 export revenues. Previously earnings from petrochemical products sales were kept outside Iran in offshore bank accounts in the absence of proper supervision over their transactions and trades.\nInterestingly, to further reinforce its oversight, the central bank has launched the an integrated system for monitoring foreign exchange deals or known as NIMA. This is a system which will monitor the activities of four groups of actors who shape the currency market: merchandise and service importers who purchase foreign currency, exporters of goods and services who earn foreign currency, banks and brokerages who act as intermediaries, and the policymakers who seek to manage supply and demand.\nAccording to CBI governor, Valiollah Seif, the operationalization of the NIMA, will change CBI\u2019s current reactionary response mechanism to one that is more proactive and will make controlling hazardous speculative or systematic fluctuations in foreign exchange markets possible by enabling the calculation of the effective demand so that the bank can aptly manage the available foreign exchange reserves.\nIn sum, the implementation of these targeted measures by CBI is expected to gradually put an end to capital flight and massive conversion of rial to other hard currencies. These moves can also undercut crimes such as smuggling and money laundering by increasing oversight and the likelihood of penalties for their perpetrators. But the effectiveness of CBI\u2019s mandate will be determined by the political will of both the government and the state to fully enforce the letter and spirit of the new regulations and laws. A great deal is at stake. If the Rouhani government can continue to persist in its long-awaited macroeconomic policies and resist pressure from vested interests, then it remains possible that Iran\u2019s economy could find new momentum after years of recession.\nCBI, Seif, currency, foreign exchange, money laundering, AML, CTF, FATF, financial sector\nMay 4 Europe\u2019s Balancing Act on the Nuclear Deal: Wooing Trump Without Losing Iran\nApr 27 As the Iran Deal Approaches its D-Day, Uncertainty Only Set to Increase",

        "raw_content": "When you\u2019re cruising through the streets of Miami, Doral, and Hialeah, you deserve to ride in style. Add a bit of efficiency and performance to that ride, and you probably have a sedan. As the most popular class of car in the country, sedans have a lot to offer all kinds of drivers. But which one is right for you? To help you decide, we\u2019ve taken two of the best sedans on the market and pit them against each other.\nThe 2018 Honda Civic and 2018 Toyota Corolla both have a lot to offer, but only one can be right for you. Learn more about these two vehicles and find out which is best suited for your needs in this Honda Civic vs. Toyota Corolla comparison from our team at Braman Honda Miami.\nNo matter which of these sedans you choose, you\u2019ll be able to get to where you need to go, no problem. However, the Honda Civic has considerably more power on its base trim. You start out with a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine that offers 158 horsepower in the Civic. Meanwhile, the Corolla\u2019s 1.8L 4-cylinder can only muster 132 horsepower.\nYou can upgrade the Toyota Corolla to 140 horsepower with its valvematic engine, but that still doesn\u2019t match the Civic\u2019s base trim. Meanwhile, you can upgrade the Civic\u2019s engine to feature an incredible 205 horsepower with its turbo add-on. In terms of raw power, the Corolla doesn\u2019t even come close.\nOne of the best things about the 2018 Corolla is its fuel economy. By leaving out the extensive horsepower that other sedans feature, it was able to maximize its efficiency in a way few other sedans can compete with. Unfortunately for the Corolla, the 2018 Civic is the exception. Comparing the most efficient of each, the Civic is superior with its EPA-estimated 31 city/40 highway MPG,* compared to the Corolla\u2019s EPA-estimated 28 city/36 highway MPG.\nWhether you plan to use your sedan as a family car or personal cruiser, safety should be your main priority. Both Honda and Toyota have a reputation for safety, so you can have peace of mind, no matter which sedan. They both feature extensive driver-assistance systems, but the Civic still has an advantage.\nDuring crash tests, the Civic earned a perfect five stars in every single category. The Corolla, on the other hand, only earned four stars for its rollover rating.\nHonda Civic vs Toyota Corolla: Which Is Better?\nThe Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla have much to offer in terms of performance, safety, and interior luxuries. But, if power, fuel economy, and advanced technologies are must-haves for your next new car, then the 2018 Honda Civic is the vehicle for you.\nTo learn more, experience the 2018 Civic in person today and schedule a test drive at Braman Honda Miami, a premier Honda dealer proudly serving drivers around Miami, Hialeah, and Doral.",

        "raw_content": "AB InBev Woos Beer-Drinkers With Crowdsourced, Locally Developed Bud Flavors\nPosted November 5, 2012\t by\tShirley Brady\nBudweiser was introduced in 1876 when company founder Adolphus Busch set out to create the United States\u2019 first truly national beer brand \u2013 brewed to be universally popular and transcend regional tastes \u2014 so it\u2019s no doubt still smarting from Bloomberg Businessweek\u2018s cover story on \u201cThe Plot to Destroy America\u2019s Beer\u201d (sample quote: \u201cMany people in the U.S. aren\u2019t thrilled that a foreign company now owns Budweiser, America\u2019s beer\u201d).\nAnheuser Busch InBev is busy with another challenge. Bud\u2019s twelve American brewmasters just wrapped the Project 12 Beer contest, for which they \u201cwere challenged with coming up with a distinctive beer recipe worthy of the Budweiser name.\u201d The three winning beers, named for the zipcodes in which they were developed (Los Angeles, St. Louis and Williamsburg, Virginia), are now rolling out across the U.S. on a limited basis in a 12-bottle package.\nThe project, which launched in the spring, is described by AB InBev as the biggest focus group in the brand\u2019s history, \u201cmaybe even beer history,\u201d thanks to a summer-long sampling program that invited the public to vote for their favorite brew \u2014 re-engaging beer-drinkers with the brand and inspiring its brewmasters. The bigger challenge now, of course, is building on that momentum. That\u2019s why Budweiser is spinning one of the Project 12 brews into a new beer called Black Crown.[more]\nBudweiser Brand VP Rob McCarthy confirmed the details to Ad Age:\n\u201cBlack Crown\u2019s formula will be modeled after a limited-edition beer made earlier this year at AB InBev\u2019s Los Angeles brewery. The brew was part of \u201cProject 12,\u201d in which brewmasters at 12 AB InBev breweries created their own small-batch \u201ctribute\u201d beers, each with a distinct style. \u201cThough originally created in L.A., it\u2019s a beer born out of the collaboration of all of Budweiser\u2019s 12 brewmasters,\u201d McCarthy said. \u201cThe beer is an amber lager that is a little darker than Budweiser, but is flavorful and like Bud very drinkable.\u201d\nAs the St. Louis Post-Dispatch notes, Budweiser Black Crown joins a bumper crop of new beers that are black or amber including \u201cBeck\u2019s Black Jewel, Michelob Black Bock, Busch Black Light Lager and Rolling Rock Black Rock all boast 6 percent alcohol by volume, according to their labels. That\u2019s higher than any of these brews currently \u2014 like Bud Light Platinum, which A-B launched to strong sales earlier this year.\u201d\nBelow, more on Budweiser\u2019s Project 12:\n\u2190 Chrysler Rolls Out Latest \u2018Imported From Detroit\u2019 TV Commercials\nSanta Goes Mobile: Walmart and Mattel Test Virtual Toy Store in Canada \u2192\nUser-generated content (UGC) refers to any content created by consumers or end-users of a platform or service.

After obtaining a search warrant, Houston police officers, FBI agents, and agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) entered a home to search for suspected bomb making materials.\nNeighbors told Breitbart Texas this is the second time in four years this has happened at the same home. \u201cI would never expect something like this in this neighborhood,\u201d David King said. \u201cI have always felt completely safe here.\u201d\nIn 2013, federal agents raided the same home searching for chemicals that could be used to make \u201ctear gas or nerve gas,\u201d the Houston Chronicle reported. The agents later determined the material to be a military-grade explosive.\nNeighbors say the home still belongs to the same owner and it is believed the young man who was then the subject of the investigation still lives in the home.\nNeighbors reported seeing surveillance vehicles monitoring the home since early Sunday morning. About 4 p.m. agents executed a search warrant and entered two homes located in the 2000 block of Alabans in the Rice University area.\nThe Houston Chronicle reported that man\u2019s name as Andrew Cecil Earhart Schneck (then 22-years-old).\nSchneck pleaded guilty to knowingly storing his explosives in 2016 and a judge sentenced him to 5 years of probation.\nFBI officials reported they were \u201clawfully present conducting law enforcement operations in southwest Houston, Texas in the interest of public safety,\u201d KTRK ABC13 reported.\nLana Shadwick contributed to this article.

In other words lifetime sex offender reigistration is an unfair punishment for some former sex offenders convicted before the registry laws were enacted. Brennan Lenehan lawyers, Mike Iacopino, Iryna Dore and Jenna Bergeron filed a \"friend of the court\" brief for the New Hampshire Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers in support of a fairer sex offender registry. The Court agreed with the arguments contained in the Brennan Lenehan brief. The case is John Doe v. State of New Hampshire, Docket No. 2013-496. You can read the Court's decision here:\nhttp://www.courts.state.nh.us/supreme/opinions/2015/2015012doe.pdf\nIf you or a loved one is a Tier 3 former sex offender who was convicted many years ago you may be able to obtain relief from sex offender registration requirements. Contact us at Brennan Lenehan to learn if you may be entitled to relief under this new case.",

        "raw_content": "The Real Deal Makers\nMeet Brooklyn Law School graduates working at the center of today\u2019s booming M&A business\nBy Jen Swetzoff\nIllustrations by Bonnie Gayle Morrill\nWhen you hear the latest news about a blockbuster multibillion-dollar deal, chances are pretty good that a Brooklyn Law School graduate was at the helm.\nAmid recent economic trends, and as more startups choose a sale over an IPO, corporate dealmaking is once again a booming business. In fact, 2017 was a record year for mergers and acquisitions (M&A). More than 50,000 deals were announced worldwide (according to data from Thomson Reuters), the highest number since 2007. That momentum continued into the first quarter of this year, with M&A activity across the world hitting a 17-year high.\nSeveral market conditions are responsible for the dealmaking surge, according to a recent analysis in American Lawyer. For one thing, companies are taking advantage of the economic stability in North America and Europe. Meanwhile, equity prices have allowed many acquiring companies to make their purchases in stock. And still-low interest rates are encouraging companies to take on more debt. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, the Trump administration\u2019s tax reform plan, also is expected to be a major factor in the surge of deals, encouraging U.S. companies to repatriate overseas cash, which they are increasingly likely to spend on acquisitions.\nIt\u2019s no surprise that alumni dealmakers are leading the way on many of the biggest transactions in recent years. Just a quick subway ride from Wall Street, the Law School long has been a hub for preparing lawyers to work on both the buy side and the sell side of financial transactions.\nNationally recognized for scholarly work and teaching excellence in corporate and business law, the Law School is home to the Center for the Study of Business Law & Regulation and the Dennis J. Block Center for the Study of International Business Law. In addition, the Brooklyn Law Incubator and Policy (BLIP) Clinic helps prepare lawyers who will represent emerging tech, internet, communications, and new media companies. And the annual Business Boot Camp, a four-day \u201cmini MBA\u201d course held during winter session, has garnered national attention as an innovative program offering students the opportunity to learn from alumni business leaders and entrepreneurs. The popular program is led by Professor Michael Gerber and presented in collaboration with Deloitte Financial Advisory Services and John P. Oswald \u201984, president and CEO of Capital Trust Group and a member of the Board of Trustees.\nBelow, eight prominent dealmakers share insights from their own careers, forecast trends ahead, and explain the role Brooklyn Law School has played in their success. \u2794\nSenior Chairman of Global M&A and Shareholder\nBrooklyn Law School Trustee\nWestinghouse\u2019s acquisition of CBS Corp.; JPMorgan Chase\u2019s acquisition of Bear Stearns Companies; Hanson Trust\u2019s acquisition of SCM.\nMemorable lesson from Brooklyn Law School\nThe importance of substance and style\u2014I learned how to communicate clearly and make a point in my own voice.\nProudest of\nThe relationships I\u2019ve built with all kinds of people\u2014among them law students, law school professors, other lawyers, CEOs, and even leaders of our country. I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to meet and work with so many talented and outstanding individuals.\nBiggest career surprise\nThat I lasted 50 years as a lawyer when I initially thought I\u2019d be a dentist. Oftentimes, I think what you do in life is more serendipitous than planned.\nPatience, listening well, and having a positive attitude.\nI teach corporate law at Brooklyn Law School; play tennis and spend time with my wife, my three married children, and my six grandchildren.\nThe client comes first. Pay close attention to your clients\u2019 needs and communicate with them clearly.\nBest advice to give\nRead three newspapers every morning. Ask questions until you fully understand your assignment. Always outline what you want to write or say before writing or saying it.\nM&A forecast\nTechnology acquisitions, particularly related to innovative intellectual property and artificial intelligence, are areas to watch.\nEileen Nugent \u201978\nM&A Partner and Co-Head of Global Transactions Practice\nWarner-Lambert Company in its planned $84 billion merger-of-equals with American Home Products Corporation and its ultimate $90 billion acquisition by Pfizer (represented by Dennis Block); Carter Hawley in its defense of a hostile takeover and the resulting spin-off and leveraged recap; Cephalon in its $6.8 billion acquisition by Teva Pharmaceutical Industries; Endo Pharmaceuticals\u2019 $2.9 billion acquisition of American Medical Systems Holdings.\nAs Professor Joe Crea used to say, \u201cDon\u2019t drop your briefcase and run.\u201d With reminders like these\u2014to stop and think\u2014and through the incredible clinical experiences I had, I didn\u2019t just learn the law. I also learned how to practice the law.\nNamed one of the top legal \u201cTrailblazers\u201d by the National Law Journal, 2015; listed as one of the \u201cTop 10 Agents of Change,\u201d Financial Times.\nBeing seen as a valued advisor and helping other people, particularly women, build their own careers. I was the first person in my family to finish college, and I received a scholarship to Brooklyn Law School. That opportunity helped me get where I am today, and I\u2019m so proud to be in a position to give back.\nTough, fair, hardworking, and self-deprecating.\nI spend time with my husband and my two stepchildren (ages 32 and 24), who also live in Manhattan; teaching, writing, and public speaking.\nNever question your instincts and views; your judgment and opinions count, no matter what your age or your position.\nBe yourself. Watch everyone around you and absorb the best parts of what you see, like a sponge, but don\u2019t try to be someone you\u2019re not. Also, always keep an open mind to opportunities. All of life is a learning experience.\nIn the short term, we\u2019ll see more strategic consolidations coupled with spin-offs, and activism will continue to have an effect on companies.\nVice Chairman, Brooklyn Law School Board Of Trustees\nInBev\u2019s successful unsolicited bid for Anheuser-Busch and its follow-on acquisitions of Grupo Modelo and SABMiller; Kraft in its merger with Heinz to form Kraft Heinz; Diebold in its merger with Wincor Nixdorf; Panera Bread in its acquisition by JAB; Andeavor in its pending $36 billion combination with Marathon Petroleum.\nHow the law applies to real life. I had extraordinary professors such as Joel Gora and Roberta Karmel, but I also gained insights from my classmates, among them a priest, a doctor, police officers, firefighters, teachers, nurses, and bankers.\nBeing recognized as a thought leader in the profession. I was a columnist for BusinessWeek. I have also spent a lot of time over the years writing and speaking about issues and trends related to M&A, corporate governance, and shareholder activism.\nThe cyclicality and how the more things change, the more they stay the same. M&A today is really not very different than it was in the 1980s, 1990s, and early 2000s. There are clear patterns in how the best dealmakers approach transactions and get deals done.\nFocus, creativity, and finding common ground.\nIn jeans in Soho, surrounded by family, enjoying all that New York has to offer, or relaxing at one of my other homes in New Jersey and Florida.\nBe creative. Try to find a way to say yes more often than no. Above all else, work with your clients to understand the nuances of what they want to achieve\u2014and then help them do it.\nCome to the practice of law with an open mind and find the area of practice that fulfills you. If you like and enjoy your work, you are going to be successful.\nGlobalization and corporate consolidation are here to stay. In fact, the threat of new tariffs and potential trade wars will lead business to become more global. Whether intended or not, we will see more and more cross-border M&A activity.\nPartner and Chair of Corporate Department\nFried Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson\nNorthStar Asset Management Group\u2019s three-way public company merger with Colony Capital and NorthStar Realty Finance Corp., which created Colony NorthStar; multiple transactions leading to the creation of a new capital and operating structure for Tradeweb Markets; Merck & Co. in the $30 billion spin-off of Medco Health Solutions; CVS Health\u2019s $1.9 billion acquisition of Target\u2019s pharmacy and clinic businesses.\nAs managing editor of the Brooklyn Law Review, I learned how to manage a demanding role in an intellectually stimulating and fast-paced environment. I also learned how to work as part of a team to achieve a common goal.\nIntense focus on client service, willingness to work hard, and ability to remain calm no matter the challenge.\nKnow your clients\u2019 businesses, and treat every client and every matter equally and with the highest priority.\nWe\u2019re monitoring a more vigorous regulatory environment. As the Committee on Foreign Investment continues to broaden its reach, companies will need to take a broader view of potential risks and factor that into their acquisition process.\nWarren Lazarow \u201986\nPartner and Co-Chairman of the Corporate Department\nClosing a $400 million round of financing at a $4 billion valuation for Houzz, the leading online platform for home remodeling and design; the $10 billion sale of Microsemi, a provider of semiconductor and systems solutions, to Microchip Technology.\nPeople are the biggest differentiator; I learned as much from the diverse student body as I did from my excellent professors.\nHonestly, I didn\u2019t think I\u2019d be this successful. I feel fortunate that I\u2019ve had a very rewarding career.\nHonesty, ability to understand the points of view of others, and a sense of humor.\nI love to spend time in Sonoma County with my wife; both of our sons are working on the West Coast (one works as an attorney at Sullivan & Cromwell in Palo Alto and the other for a physics professor in Berkeley).\nTake the time to train people well and treat people well. You have to care about other people\u2019s careers if you want to retain talent.\nI expect continued high levels of M&A activity, particularly in the tech sector where I focus. On the buy side, U.S. tax reform will give acquirers more cash for acquisitions; on the sell side, we\u2019ll continue to see more startups exit by M&A than by going public.\nAngelo Bonvino \u201996\nPartner and Co-Head of the M&A Practice\nKPS Capital Partners\u2019 acquisition of TaylorMade Golf Company from adidas AG; KPS Capital Partners\u2019 sale of Waupaca Foundry to Hitachi Metals.\nHow to merge my accounting background with my law degree; how to be the quarterback in a deal and in a boardroom.\nMentoring associates and having them become great lawyers.\nThe genuinely close and meaningful relationships I\u2019ve built with my clients, many of whom now trust me so much that they come to me for personal issues as well as business transactions.\nPracticality, listening skills, and a sense of humor.\nI love spending time at sporting events with my wife, 17-year-old son (an avid golfer), and 15-year-old daughter (a competitive equestrian rider) in Long Island.\nM&A is a team effort.\nMake a conscious effort to have balance in life.\nIn terms of private equity, the robust M&A period we\u2019re experiencing now will only become more competitive.\nDenise Faltischek \u201900\nI have completed more than 40 strategic transactions, but as an example, we [Hain Celestial] recently acquired Tilda, a basmati rice brand, which provided an entry point into a new category and helped us enter markets in India and the Middle East.\nMy role in helping to grow The Hain Celestial Group from a company with approximately $600 million in revenue to a company with just under $3 billion in revenue, all while staying true to its purpose of changing the way the world eats and leaving the environment in a better place for the next generation.\nAfter almost 20 years, I still love what I do. I\u2019m grateful to be part of such a great company in the health and wellness space.\nPassion, hard work, and business acumen.\nI live in Port Washington, N.Y., with my husband Ken Faltischek \u201900 and our two daughters (ages 10 and 11).\nDevelop your legal skills and business acumen at a law firm before going in-house. Once in-house, focus on understanding strategic and operational goals. As lawyers, our job is to help the business achieve its mission and goals.\nDeals will continuously get more expensive in the natural and organic products space. If you\u2019re a business owner thinking about your exit strategy, invest in your brands, your processes, and your people. That\u2019s where you can show real value during the due diligence phase of a transaction.\nMatthew V. Soran \u201905\nBoulder Brands in its $975 million sale to Pinnacle Foods; Catalent Inc. in its $950 million acquisition of Cook Pharmica; AEA Investors in the $1 billion cross-border sale of Houghton International to Gulf Oil.\nRecognized as a \u201cNext Generation Lawyer\u201d by Legal 500 in M&A: Large Deals; Leadership Council on Legal Diversity Fellow.\nNever wavering from my desire to be in M&A, dedicating myself to honing my craft over the years, and learning to adapt to the fast-paced environment in a way that allowed me to grow professionally and become a partner at the firm.\nThe impact of the work we do for our clients. There aren\u2019t many professions in which you can collaborate with the CEO of a Fortune 500 company to help him or her achieve a goal.\nI encourage anyone who is looking for a challenge to consider a career in M&A. No two deals are the same, the work is interesting, the environment is collaborative, and you get to advise sophisticated clients on some of their most complex matters.\nLaw and Politics Are Hot Topics at the Brooklyn Book Festival\nScholars Tackle Nationalism, Regionalism, and Globalism\nDean's Message: Preparing the Next Generation of Lawyers",

        "raw_content": "As a parent, I\u2019m super aware of the motivation of my kids. Unknowingly, we have conditioned them to expect a reward for certain desired behaviors.\nIf I tell them to eat all their dinner, they\u2019ll respond by saying, \u201cWill I get a dessert?\u201d\nIf I ask them to go clean their rooms, they\u2019ll say, \u201cCan I watch a show?\u201d\nIf I ask them to do their homework, they\u2019ll say, \u201cWill I get to stay up late?\u201d\nAs their dad, I care about their motivation. I want them to eat their dinner, clean their room, and do their homework because I\u2019ve asked them to do it. Ultimately, I want them to want to do it because they know it\u2019s good for them, not because they\u2019ll get something out of it.\nSometimes I wonder if Christians are conditioned to respond to Jesus in the same way. Do we pursue Jesus or do what He says because we hope He'll do something for us, or just because of who He is?\nThere\u2019s a story in John 6 in which Jesus does an amazing miracle that leaves a massive crowd thinking that if they play their cards right, Jesus could be their sugar daddy.\nAs He regularly does, Jesus teaches this crowd all day. At the end of the day, instead of sending the crowd away, He asks His disciples \u201cWhere shall we buy bread for these people to eat?\u201d (v5).\nHis disciples are dumbfounded by the question. There are more than 5,000 people in this crowd. Jesus can\u2019t possibly be serious, right? They respond by saying, \u201cIt would take more than half a year\u2019s wages to buy enough bread for each one to have a bite\u201d (v7).\nThe responsible and wise thing to do would be to send this crowd away and let them figure out their own dinner plans.\nBut Jesus, confident in what He's about to do, instructs all the people to sit down. Then, with the lunch of one boy, five loaves of bread and two small fish, He feeds the entire crowd as much as they want. It\u2019s like an all you can eat buffet on steroids. Forget going back only for seconds. There\u2019s enough for thirds, fourths, and a doggy bag for the road.\nThe crowd, astonished by what they\u2019ve just seen and put in their mouths, draw the conclusion, \u201cWe should make this guy our king!\u201d (v15, paraphrase).\nWhy not, right?! Who wouldn\u2019t want a king that doles out free lunch every day?\nBut Jesus, knowing their motives, quietly slips away. While Jesus is compassionate and generous, He\u2019s also immensely concerned about our motives, especially when it pertains to Him.\nThe following day, this crowd, still coming out of their food coma from the day before, seeks out Jesus hoping for another free meal. But when they find Him, He wastes no time bringing to light the real reason they're after Him. He says, \u201cYou are looking for me, not because you saw the signs I performed but because you ate the loaves and had your fill\u201d (v26, paraphrase).\nEssentially, Jesus is saying, \u201cYou missed the point. It wasn\u2019t about the food, it was about me. But you\u2019re not really interested in me, are you? You\u2019re only interested in what you can get from me\u201d (paraphrase).\nOuch! I'm sure that had to sting.\nJesus\u2019 challenge to this crowd, is to believe in Him because of who He is, not because of what He can do for them.\nBut what happens next is one of the most outrageous things in the New Testament. In response to His challenge, the crowd has the audacity to suggest that Jesus do another miracle to confirm for them that they should believe in Him. They even have the gall to suggest what he should do! They essentially say, \u201cThere\u2019s a story of Moses making bread rain from heaven (Ex. 16). Can you do that? Because if you can, we\u2019ll definitely believe\u201d (v30-31, paraphrase).\nHow crazy is this? They think that Jesus is at their beck and call. As though He\u2019s some show pony who does cute little tricks for affirmation and applause.\nBut Jesus won\u2019t have any of it. Again, He basically says, \u201cYou\u2019re missing the point. The miracle from Moses reveals the same thing as my miracle yesterday. It\u2019s not about the bread, it's about me!\u201d (v30-31, paraphrase). Then He goes on to say, \u201cI am the bread of life\u201d (v35).\nJesus is the true bread that satisfies all our deepest hungers. All too often we approach Jesus looking for what He can do for us.\n\u201cJesus, can you put more money in my bank account or get me that promotion?\u201d\n\u201cCan you fix this relationship that\u2019s on the rocks?\u201d\n\u201cCan you cure this illness I just discovered?\u201d\nNow again, just like with the crowd, Jesus is kind and compassionate. The crowd wanted to make Jesus king not realizing that Jesus already is King. And as King, He\u2019s quick to do good things for us because He loves us. But He ultimately desires that we would pursue Him just for Him, not for what we can get from Him.\nSo, I guess that leaves us with the question, why are you pursuing Jesus?\nAre you pursuing Him because of who He is or because of what He might do for you?\nIs Jesus Himself really enough?\nIf Jesus were never to make all your wildest dreams come true, would you still follow?\nJesus promises to give us everything that we need. He may not make all your wildest dreams come true, but His love and goodness will never be withheld from you. His righteousness and mercy will never fail you.\nThe truth is, He already knows the motives that drive your pursuit. You can\u2019t hide them. You might as well be honest and trust that He\u2019ll be gracious and kind.\nHe is the bread of life. Trust in Him, and you'll never be hungry again.\nOlder PostBe You",

        "raw_content": "Generally speaking, opinion evidence is inadmissible in court. Witnesses, whether they are civilians or police officers, are not allowed to testify about their opinion of matters, because courts have found that a person's opinion of a matter in the trial is simply not relevant. However, for every rule there is an exception and opinion evidence may be admitted when it is expert evidence and where it meets a certain test. To be admitted, the party trying to admit the evidence needs to meet four criteria:\n\u20221. That the evidence is relevant to an issue at trial;\n\u20222. That the opinion evidence is necessary to assist the judge or the jury because it deals with information that is outside common experience and knowledge;\n\u20223. That there is no other evidentiary rule that should exclude the evidence; and\n\u20224. That the evidence should come from a properly qualified expert.\nAnother important feature of an expert and their opinion, and one of the main issues in the Natsis trial is the impartiality and objectivity of the expert witness. While an expert witness is either hired by the Crown or the defence, they are required to be impartial and unbiased towards either party in giving their opinion. At the Natsis trial, defence argued that the OPP officers offered to give expert evidence demonstrated a bias, partiality and lack of independence when offering their opinion. Ultimately the trial judge disagreed and admitted most of that evidence. Now it will be up to the Ontario Court of Appeal to determine whether the trial judge decided in error and it may provide some guidance on when police officers can be qualified as experts.\nDealing with the possibility of expert evidence from the Crown can involve high stakes. Not only is there the expert opinion that needs to be reviewed and scrutinized, but also the qualifications and the independence of that witness. The criminal justice has known the tragedy of Dr. Charles Smith, the former pathologist who was the head pediatric forensic pathologist at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto and whose \"expertise\" and expert evidence resulted in many wrongful convictions and a public inquiry that un uncovered the flaws in a system that so readily accepts the expert opinion of an individual without adequate scrutiny.\nRelated Posts: Be Careful what you post on social media\nExpert Evidence | Bayne Sellar Ertel Carter",

        "title": "The Real Story Behind That Video Of An Abortion Doctor Discussing Harvesting Organs",
        "raw_content": "On Tuesday a video went viral showing a Planned Parenthood doctor discussing the harvesting of cells from aborted fetuses. Scientists are appalled at the seemingly callous tone of the doctor, but say that fetal cells have played important roles in medical research since the 1960s.\nBy Dan Vergano and Peter Aldhous and Azeen Ghorayshi\nDan Vergano BuzzFeed News Reporter Peter Aldhous BuzzFeed News Reporter Azeen Ghorayshi BuzzFeed News Reporter\nFor sale, human fetal stem cells: $200. Long used in medical research, such cells are at the center of controversy once more after a hidden camera video purportedly showed a Planned Parenthood doctor talking about the sale of fetal body parts.\nThe video was misleading, Planned Parenthood said in a statement, and the doctor was talking \"about standard reimbursement fees for costs associated with tissue donation programs.\"\nStill, scientists who have worked with fetal tissues told BuzzFeed News that they are uncomfortable with the seemingly callous tone of the doctor in the heavily edited video.\n\"I'm appalled that she didn't seem more sensitive,\" stem cell researcher Jeanne Loring at the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, California, told BuzzFeed News. It could be, she added, that important context was cut out of the video. Still, based on the edited version, it seems that \"she didn't have respect for the donors.\"\nBut these scientists argue that research with fetal tissues is conducted ethically, with payments simply covering the cost of handling and shipping the samples. Each abortion involves a wrenching decision for the woman concerned, Evan Snyder of the Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute, also in La Jolla, told BuzzFeed News.\nBut once that decision is made, he said, \"there are opportunities to use the tissue, so that somebody may be able to benefit from it.\"\nSnyder was the first researcher to isolate human neural stem cells, which can develop into cells that may one day be used to help fix damaged brains. And he extracted those cells from fetal tissue.\n\"It's anguishing for everybody. But it's not unethical and there are rules around it,\" Snyder said.\nIndeed, cells taken from aborted human fetuses have been used by medical researchers for more than five decades to create vaccines for everything from polio to measles, and to study ailments ranging from cancer to blindness.\nThey have also been used for transplant medicine \u2014 for example, to provide new insulin-producing cells to people with diabetes.\nIn 1961, Leonard Hayflick, a researcher at the Wistar Institute in Philadelphia, discovered that human fetal cells will divide about 50 times when placed in nutrients in a lab dish, even after freezing, making possible the generation of long-lived colonies of cells for research into diseases involving all types of organs.\nBefore that, most of the cells used in research came from cancers or other abnormal tissues. So fetal tissue made the study of normal, human healthy cells finally possible.\nThe catch was that these fetal cells came from aborted fetuses.\n\"Cells from one fetus have no doubt saved the lives of millions of people,\" Paul Offit of Children's Hospital of Philadelphia told the journal Nature in 2013, talking about just one cell line used by Hayflick to create vaccines. That WI-38 cell strain came from a female fetus from Sweden, aborted at 20 weeks of gestation.\nThe first criticisms of fetal cell research came in the early 1970s, around the same time that Roe v. Wade legalized U.S. abortions and researchers first began transplanting fetal cells into the brains of Parkinson's patients.\nThat line of research continues today: Last year, Harvard researchers announced that transplanted fetal brain cells had lived in a Parkinson's patient's brain for more than a decade.\nIn 1988, the Reagan administration banned the use of federal funds to support research using fetal cells. That moratorium ended in 1993 with a compromise bill that allowed women to donate tissues from aborted fetuses to medical research \u2014 but only if no payment was involved and they did not know the identity of anyone receiving the tissues in a transplant.\n\"It shall be unlawful for any person to knowingly acquire, receive, or otherwise transfer any human fetal tissue for valuable consideration,\" says the federal law. But the law does allow for reasonable compensation of costs involved in transferring cells to tissue banks, and these tissue banks, in turn, sell the cells to researchers.\nThe tissue bank company StemExpress of Placerville, California, mentioned in the hidden camera video, has not yet released a statement but told BuzzFeed News that one is forthcoming. Researchers have used cells from the tissue bank to research blindness and diabetes, for example.\nAt ATCC of Manassas, Virginia, the most eminent tissue bank, costs for human fetal cells range from about $200 to $550. ATCC did not respond to requests for comment from BuzzFeed News.\n\"As requirements for procurement of human biospecimens have changed through the years, ATCC's policies also have evolved to ensure that these standards are met,\" according to a statement on the company's website. \"We continue to uphold and improve on these standards to ensure the integrity of our activities and the materials that are entrusted to us.\"\nDespite all the attention on fetal cells, they are becoming less popular in medical research.\nIn the last decade, the fight over fetal cells was subsumed by a political battle over federal funding of embryonic stem cell research. That issue set the George W. Bush administration against medical researchers using those tissues, gathered from 6-day-old embryos, to study organ transplants.\nExcitement over stem cells has largely overtaken fetal tissue, something that didn't come across in the video of a Planned Parenthood doctor discussing tissue extraction over a salad.\n\"Fetal cells are not a big deal in science anymore,\" bioethicist Art Caplan of New York University told BuzzFeed News. \"What happened is stem cell tech then came on board, and gene therapy \u2014 there's just other techniques now. \"\nSome scientists disagree, pointing out that fetal cells remain useful for medical research. \"I understand why people would want tissues like this,\" Loring said.\nFetal liver cells, she suggests, might play a role in toxicology studies conducted by pharmaceutical firms testing the safety of new drugs. And stem cell researchers may want cells from fetuses to compare with the tissues they are trying to grow.\nStill, she said that fetal cells can be obtained through nonprofit sources.\n\"I have fetal tissue in my gene expression bank, but it was obtained locally [through an obstetrician],\" she said. \"We made sure that the informed consent was in place.\"\nLouisiana Governor Investigates Planned Parenthood After Undercover Video Emerges",

        "raw_content": "Short Story #334: The Hypnotist by Ambrose Bierce\nThe narrator explains that he has some experience with hypnotism but that it is a bit limited to his own personal experience with the ability to hypnotize people. His first experience with hypnotism was as teenager when he managed to hypnotize a classmate into bring her food to him daily so he could eat. However, he eventually kills the girl in order to be free of his parents. As he is being released from prison, he turns to the warden and hypnotizes the man into believing he is an ostrich. The man dies from swallowing things he cannot digest (including a doorknob). He makes his way homeward and finds his parents. The parents explain they are glad to see him but there is still not enough food for him. The narrator hypnotizes them both and tells them they are broncos. As broncos, they begin to engage in battle and fight to a brutal death for each. With that, the man is arrested anew and spends years more in court trials, largely content.\nAnother amusing and largely twisted tale from Bierce. It does make me wonder where or whether all these stories were published. The elements of absurdity have the makings of a Monty Python skit.",

        "raw_content": "The Top 5 Foods That Promote Healing\n5 Foods That Promote Healing\nWhile the 21st century has shown a great deal of progress regarding medical health treatments, statistics continue to indicate a rapid growth in various chronic physical and psychiatric conditions. This may be due to a plethora of causes ranging from one\u2019s biological chemistry to the social environment.\nWrong Medications\nUnfortunately, many of these cases are treated with the same medication and some patients may experience unpleasant side effects. Of course, organic healing remedies are available for those who wish to use non-pharmaceutical therapy, however, not all patients are willing to use this therapy being somewhat skeptical of natural healing.\nWe will provide information on one of the most important things that can assist with healing \u2013 foods. Below are the top 5 foods that promote healing.\nThe stereotypical concept of broccoli is the \u2018green stuff that kids hate to eat\u2019 however, this vegetable has numerous healing properties placing it among the top 5 foods that promote healing. Research by the National Institute of Health has indicated that broccoli contains vitamins and antioxidants making it beneficial in treating inflammation, improving the immune system, and reparation of different body tissues ranging from blood vessels to the upper layer of skin.\nWhile tomatoes are typically considered vegetables and placed among vegetables in stores, they actually fall into the category of fruit as it originates from the ovary in the base of the flower. Regardless of the tomato\u2019s classification, it can be defined as one of the top foods promoting healing. This food has a high antioxidant content and is most beneficial as a treatment to support the immune system.\nOne of the most popular foods among vegetarians and vegans is fermented soy. It is not considered pleasant to eat by non-veggies; however, the soybean is one of the most beneficial foods to promote healing in the body. This particular food item includes a plethora of vitamins including vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin D, and vitamin E \u2013 all promoting the effective functioning of one\u2019s digestive system. Unfortunately, incorporating soy in a diet can be challenging if one is not a vegetarian or vegan, however, soy can be found as an ingredient in various other food items such as oatmeal and vegetarian mince.\nIn addition to the soybean, black beans are highly advantageous as a food promoting healing. The primary healing component in black beans is protein making them low in both saturated fats and sodium. As a healing agent, black beans and their protein components are effective to repair and develop new body tissue. While it is possible to introduce the food as a separate bean into meals, this item can also be used as an alternative to meat being implemented as an alternative meat source for vegetarians and vegans.\nWhile the argument of chocolate being bad for a person\u2019s health is substantiated; research has also shown that chocolate has many healing properties, which is good news for those chocolate-lovers. Reports in medical journals have found that dark chocolate, in particular, is highly beneficial for maintenance of blood pressure levels and improvement of the immune system.\nTags: Eating Healthy, Healing Foods, Health Benefits, Natural Healing\nLooking For A Natural Tylenol Alternative?",

        "raw_content": "Hiking Trail To Mt. Cammerer - Great Smoky Mountains\nArea Info : Explore : Hiking Trails : Mt. Cammerer Hiking Trail\nHighlights: Panoramic Mountain Views, Historic Lookout Tower\nRound Trip: 11.1 Miles From the parking area before Cosby Campground\nFrom Gatlinburg: Drive 20 miles on the East Parkway Hwy 321 N for 20 miles. Then take a right onto Cosby Highway and follow this road for 1 mile. The entrance for Cosby Campground will be on the right. Drive on this national park road to the campground. You'll find a parking area just before you enter Cosby campground that serves as the trailhead for the Low Gap Trail.\nFrom I-40: Take exit 440 to Wilton Springs Road, US 321 S. After 2 miles, turn left onto Cosby Highway and continue for 9 miles. On your right, you'll see the national park entrance at Cosby. Follow this road 2 miles to the parking area for the Low Gap Trailhead.\nMt. Cammerer Trail Description\nThe hike to Mt. Cammerer is a strenuous hike over 11 miles in length. Luckily for hikers, this trail with a steady climb actually goes to one of the shorter elevation mountains in the Smokies. The peak of Mt. Cammerer itself rests at 4928 FT, far lower elevation than many other summits in the national park.\nIf you're looking to escape the crowds and enjoy some peace on your hike \u2013 Mt. Cammerer is an ideal destination for your day hike. Both Cosby Campground and Mt. Cammerer are well off the beaten path. Most visitors to the national park never reach this section of the Smoky Mountains.\nThough this day hike is difficult, it's easily one of the most unique and stunning trails in the park. The panoramic views offer a unique perspective of the tall peaks of the Smokies. Better yet, the trail itself is gorgeous and passes through beautiful sections of mature hardwood forest. At the top, you'll find a historic, western style fire tower that was restored in 1996.\nMt. Cammerer Via Low Gap Trail\nThe Low Gap Trail out of Cosby Campground is the shortest route to Mt. Cammerer, but it is also the steepest. The beginning of the hike can be somewhat confusing due to nature paths that surround the Cosby Campground.\nObtaining a map from the ranger station near the parking area can help you find your way. Additionally, trail signs for the Low Gap Trail are well marked, so simply follow the signs.\nThe first 2.9 miles on the Low Gap Trail is a long, steady climb up to the Appalachian Trail. About 0.5 miles in, you'll see the trail split onto Lower Mt. Cammerer Trail that serves as an alternate route, but Low Gap is a far shorter journey. As you hike, you'll be treated to arguably one of the most beautiful stands of forest in the Smoky Mountains.\nAt the end of the Low Gap Trail, hikers will reach the Appalachian Trail and the high ridge at the Smokies. Turn left on the Appalachian Trail and follow this for 2.1 miles. Eventually, the steady climb off the mountain will level off and give you a change to rest. As you travel along the ridge, you'll be treated to views of Cosby. In spring, wildflowers are abundant on the mountain ridge.\nBefore long, you'll reach a sign points to a trail that branches to the left. This trail that spurs off from the Appalachian Trail is rocky and requires some scrambling. Follow this an additional 0.6 miles to reach the main attraction \u2013 the rocky ridge and stone watch tower atop Mt. Cammerer.\nThe Tower on Mt. Cammerer\nThe watch tower on top of Mt. Cammerer is one of only 3 remaining fire towers in the national park. It is also one of the only stone towers in the Eastern United States. Built in the late 1930s by the CCC, this historic structure features large hand-cut stones that were hauled from a quarry 100 yards down the mountain.\nThe tower was used for detecting wildfires until the 1960s. Once watchmen no longer lived in the tower, this historic structure fell into disrepair, but was restored in 1996. Today, it offers an excellent platform for enjoying the inspiring views from Mt. Cammerer.\nTo the north, hikers will be able to see the Pigeon River Gorge and I-40 snaking southward through the Tennessee mountains. Additionally, the peak of Snowbird Mountain across the gorge is easily visible.\nTo the southwest, the towering 6,000 ft peaks of the Smoky Mountains dominate the horizon. To the west, you'll see a large expansive valley that's home to the peaceful mountain community of Cosby. To the south, Mt. Sterling in the North Carolina section of the park can also be seen.\nTips For Hiking Mt. Cammerer\nStart Early and Take Your Time \u2013 This hike is long and strenuous even for experienced hikers. To complete a hike of Mt. Cammerer and enjoy yourself along the way, you'll want to allot enough time for resting and enjoying the views from the watchtower.\nPack Food and Water \u2013 Since this hike is longer, it pays to bring plenty of food and water so that your group can stay fed and hydrated during their hike.\nBring Trekking Poles \u2013 A pair of trekking poles will serve you well on the climb and the return descent of this hike. A walking stick can also make this hike more enjoyable and save your knees from unnecessary wear and tear.\nSet a Turn-Around Point \u2013 Calculate how much day light you'll have to complete your hike to Mt. Cammerer. To ensure that you won't have a return trip in the dark, set an appropriate turn-around time so you won't be caught by nightfall.\nFinal Thoughts on Hiking to Mt. Cammerer\nHiking Mt. Cammerer is a great option for vacationers who want to get away from crowds in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It's an excellent day hike that can easily be reached from cabin rentals in Gatlinburg, TN as part of a truly unforgettable Smoky Mountain vacation!\nMt.

        "raw_content": "A good friend in bad times by Jennifer Acee \u2192\nDiagnosis: Breast Cancer by Dr.Rebecca Weintraub, Ph.D\nThe following was written by Dr. Rebecca Weintraub, a 10-year breast cancer survivor, former group participant and current Board Member at CSC-RB. Below she shares her feelings at initial diagnosis.\nOn Jan. 16, 2003 I went to my surgeon to get the results of my biopsy. He sat down and said simply and directly, \u201cYou have breast cancer.\u201d\nWords can\u2019t capture the daze I was in. I wasn\u2019t exactly in denial\u2014there were the words right there on a pathology report with my name and my medical record number\u2013 but it seemed I was in the midst of an out of body experience. Even as we talked about my options, possible surgical dates, consultations with other specialists, a piece of me was hovering, watching\u2014not experiencing.\nThis must be a common reaction, because waiting outside the exam room door was a licensed clinical social worker\u2014a therapist\u2014who was also a survivor. Dr. Bradford had arranged for her to be there and brought her in to talk to me while he went to research menopause symptom drugs with his colleagues who solved problems with drugs (he had told me that as a surgeon, he solved problems with a scalpel). Ms. Stroll understood how I was feeling\u2014better than I did. We talked a bit about my feelings and my fears\u2014which still centered on my breast. She suggested we adjourn to her office for a full appointment, but I told her I had an urgent desire to go home and talk to my husband. That was the one compelling feeling I remember\u2014I had to talk to Rich. Soon. Now. Urgently.\nMy memories of the 30 minutes I spent with Ms. Stroll are as murky as my memories of my time with Bradford are clear. I remember her telling me that when she was diagnosed she had an urgent need to go sit on the beach and watch the waves as a way of processing her news. But beyond that, what I remember was her grace, her compassion, her empathy\u2014her knowing what I was feeling even when I could not express it because she had been at that end of the conversation herself. This was a new learning that would be reinforced over time\u2014the women who have been there understand and know as someone who hasn\u2019t been ever can. It\u2019s not a sisterhood one looks to join, but it\u2019s one of the most powerful, strengthening bonds I\u2019ve ever experienced.\nLater, I would experience the same sisterhood, only this time on steroids, when I walked into the Tuesday Night Early Diagnosis Breast Cancer Support group at the Cancer Support Community \u2013 Redondo Beach. But it would take me a ridiculously long time to realize how much I needed what they had to give me. And what a difference that gift would make in my life because of the difference it would make in my ability to fight my newly diagnosed enemy.\nBut I didn\u2019t know that yet. I took the prescription from the doctor and left. I walked to my car, got in and closed the door. I picked up the phone and called home. Rich answered the phone. I said, \u201cThe news isn\u2019t good. I\u2019m on my way home.\u201d\nHe said, \u201cDrive carefully.\nI started the car and began a journey I never thought I would have to take.",

        "raw_content": "A partnership, including the owner of Manhattan\u2019s Chelsea Market, is in contract to acquire a stake in a vast 30-acre, industrial and warehouse complex on the south Brooklyn waterfront in Sunset Park.\nThe likely buyers aim to convert a rundown and forgotton stretch of western Brooklyn into a hotbed of office, manufacturing and related uses, possibly including film production.\nJamestown Properties, real estate financiers Angelo Gordon and Belvedere Capital said they are in contract to buy an undisclosed interest in Industry City, a collection of 16 buildings with a total of 6 million square feet of space.\nJamestown, the landlord of Chelsea Market and several other properties in the city, including the Milk Studios Building, and the Falci Building in Long Island City, would manage the complex day-to-day, according to the company. Andrew Kimball, the former chief executive of the city-owned Brooklyn Navy Yard, who Jamestown hired in June, would become chief executive of the property.\nThe deal appears to be a bet that the emergence of Brooklyn as both a hip global brand for food, culture and merchandise, and the headquarters of a homegrown manufacturing movement in the city that has transformed spaces like the Brooklyn Navy Yard will continue to scale up. The city-owned Brooklyn Army terminal, just south of Industry City already boasts dozens of tenants in its 4 million square feet of space.\n\u201cThere\u2019s a variety of different uses, from food manufacturing to clothing to technology to media that all want to come together and be near each other where their creativity feeds off of one another in this kind of space,\u201d said Michael Philips, the chief operating officer of Jamestown. \u201cThe definition of manufacturing has changed and there\u2019s a broader base of tenants who can use these types of spaces.\u201d\nMr. Philips pointed to Makerbot, the manufacturer of 3-D printers that opened a 50,000-square-foot factory at Industry City just last year, as an example of the kind of local manufacturers that are flourishing and looking for room to grow.\nJamestown, Angelo Gordon and Belvedere Capital would partner with Industry City\u2019s current landlords, Ruby Schron and the Fruchthandler family to control the complex. The group is aiming to close a deal to buy an undisclosed stake by October, Mr. Philips said.\nMr. Schron and the Fruchthandlers defaulted on Industry City\u2019s $300 million mortgage in 2011 but restructured those debts a year ago. The owners, however, were dealt a further setback when Superstorm Sandy hit the city in October and damaged several of the 16 buildings. Mr. Philips declined to disclose how much his group would pay to buy into the complex. He also declined to say how much it would invest to renovate the property, but described it as a project likely requiring hundreds of millions of dollars, if not more\u2013funds that Mr. Schron and the Fruchthandlers don\u2019t appear to have the wherewithal to lay out alone. He also stressed that it would be a long-term project.\n\u201cThis will be a marathon, not a sprint,\u201d Mr. Philips said. \u201cWe\u2019re doing this as a generational investment.\u201d\nIf a deal gets done, it would put Mr. Kimball, who worked for the city for eight years overseeing the reinvention of a fallow former military complex at the Navy Yard in northern Brooklyn, in charge of another large-scale manufacturing neighborhood in the city. During Mr. Kimball\u2019s tenure, the Navy Yard became a major haven for manufacturing companies in the city, one that now has scores of companies on its waiting list. The Navy Yard also took in its first movie and television production tenant, the new Steiner Studios, which has subsequently become the property\u2019s largest single tenant.\n\u201cThere\u2019s an innovation economy that\u2019s taking hold here and in other urban areas,\u201d Mr. Kimball said. \u201cWe want to give the local Brooklyn workforce a convenient new place to go to work.\u201d\nAbout 60% of the complex is occupied Messrs. Philips and Kimball said. But much of it is low-rent space used for storage. The current tenants are far from the vibrant collection of businesses that the pair imagine could populate the buildings and bring with them thousands of new jobs.\nThe company\u2019s efforts could get a helping hand by recent efforts from the city to begin procuring goods from local manufacturers and designers. The Department of Design and Construction, for instance, just announced a pilot program to buy locally designed and manufactured furnishings for city capital construction projects it handles.\nIn addition to Industry City, Jamestown is tackling other like-minded projects nationally as it pursues Industry City. In July, the Atlanta-based company acquired the Boston Design Center for nearly $73 million with the hopes to execute a similar strategy of creating space for manufacturing tenants and hip industries like the tech sector, who gravitate to the industrial aesthetic of such space. Included in that plan is the possibility of creating a rooftop farm.\n\u201cOur partnership is in uniquely qualified to understand the drivers of the innovation-era workforce and its role in diversifying the city economy, and look forward to guiding the reuse of Industry City,\u201d Glen Siegel, founder and chairman of Belvedere Capital, said in a statement.\nThere are others who see a bright future in Sunset Park. Two years ago Salmar Properties acquired Liberty View Industrial Plaza, a 1.2 million-square-foot building just north of Industry City. The company has invested $70 million renovating it, including installing new windows, central heating and air conditioning, electrical systems and a lobby. Salmar Properties hopes to start signing leases with tenants by the end of the year and can cater tenants who require huge floors. The building, on 31st Street and Third Avenue in Sunset Park, boasts 160,000-square-foot floors, among the largest contiguous spaces in the entire city.\nHigh-Rises to Replace an East Side Eyesore",

        "raw_content": "Julia Wolfe: Anthracite Fields\nA performance of Julia Wolfe\u2019s Anthracite Fields. Photo by Chris Lee.\nJulia Wolfe\u2019s Anthracite Fields will be performed on Saturday, December 1, 2018 in Zankel Hall at Carnegie Hall.\nBy Tim Munro\nMovement 1: Foundation\nA dense sound rises as if from underground. Above, a choir chants: \u201cJohn Ace, John Art, John Ash, John Ayers.\u201d Emerging, a long melody: \u201cSwamps covered the earth. The leaves and branches buried deep.\u201d Layers accrete. Forming music, forming coal, forming community.\nOver a patchy Skype line, composer Julia Wolfe brims with enthusiasm for a project close to her heart. \u201cI grew up in a small town in Pennsylvania\u201d\u2014not quite coal country, she says, \u201cbut far enough outside Philadelphia that it was small-town USA.\u201d\nWhen she received a call from Alan Harler, then\u2013artistic director of the Mendelssohn Club of Philadelphia, the composer had never received a commission from her native state.\nThe commission, from one of the country\u2019s oldest amateur choruses, turned her mind to Pennsylvania, to home. \u201cThat led me to coal country,\u201d which then resulted in the Pulitzer Prize\u2013winning five-movement Anthracite Fields, which will be performed at Carnegie Hall on December 1, including visual projections by Jeff Sugg that illuminate the work.\nMovement 2: Breaker Boys\nZoom in on a rough-and-tumble scene. A high solo voice sings taunts and tongue-twisters over the sound of slaps and plucks and can-banging. Pathos breaks in, revealing realities: \u201cYou weren\u2019t allowed to wear gloves. Your fingernails, you had none. The ends of them would be bleeding every day from work.\u201d\nBut Wolfe\u2019s first step towards Anthracite Fields came many years earlier, before she ever thought of a career in music. Thinking she was heading towards a social sciences major, she took classes about American labor history.\n\u201cI was reading about the politics and how we treat people in the workplace. It\u2019s something I\u2019ve always cared about.\u201d Wolfe returns to these issues with Anthracite Fields, which asks \u201cwhat it means to have a collective conversation, collective bargaining.\u201d\nWolfe dug deep. She immersed herself in books about coal mining and spent time in coal country. Partially funded by Philadelphia\u2019s Pew Center for Arts & Heritage, this project came ready-made with a personal guide, a local theater artist named Laurie McCants. (Wolfe, ever-generous, is careful to name each and every collaborator.)\nEverything Wolfe learned was new to her, from the discovery of anthracite, a special form of coal, \u201cto the political issues, to the tools they used, to the illnesses they had.\u201d She toured coal mines and spoke to third-generation miners.\nAlthough she knew little about this world, Wolfe tried to make it clear to locals that she had grown up nearby\u2014that she and McCants were \u201cnot scary, big-city folks descending upon their town.\u201d\nMovement 3: Speech\nStatic crackles like an old radio broadcast. A lone voice preaches: \u201cIf we must grind up human flesh and bones in this industrial machine we call modern America \u2026\u201d (the crowd echoes, amplifies each phrase) \u201c\u2026. we owe protection to those men and we owe security to their families if they die.\u201d\nWolfe agrees that Anthracite Fields is certainly a \u201cpolitical piece.\u201d She made deliberate decisions, like placing a speech by John L. Lewis, once the head of United Mine Workers of America, at the heart of the piece. But here politics is not a \u201cheavy hammer,\u201d says Wolfe, who wanted to give the audience \u201cspace to have the experience I had, one of discovery and consideration. They\u2019ll feel the emotion and have their own observations.\u201d\nAnd Wolfe\u2019s journey continues. \u201cEvery several weeks, I get a letter from someone who says, \u2018I heard the piece. My grandfather died of black lung.\u2019 That\u2019s never happened to me before\u2014to have this dialogue with people whose lives were directly impacted through contact with my work.\u201d\nOn one research trip to the Anthracite Heritage Museum, a woman named Barbara Powell stopped Wolfe. \u201cHer father and grandfather were miners, and she grew up in a town that the company built.\u201d A section of Anthracite Fields came directly from a moment in their wide-ranging conversation, from this woman\u2019s love of her garden.\nMovement 4: Flowers\nThe gentle sound of folk song. \u201cWe all had flowers,\u201d voices sing in rising lines of simplicity, innocence. \u201cViolets and asters and lilacs and tulips ...\u201d Flowers, a stark contrast with the noise and danger of the mine, a reminder that organic material produces coal. Flowers, marking the graves of those who are gone.\nThe band for Anthracite Fields is the Bang on a Can All-Stars. This crew of genre-bending musicians knows Wolfe\u2019s music backwards and forwards, but she still pushed them into unknown territory. In addition to sonic experiments, conjuring sounds of a coal mine, two members of the group also take prominent vocal solos.\nWolfe first tapped guitarist Mark Stewart, with passion for labor issues and experience as Paul Simon\u2019s music director, to sing the \u201crole\u201d of John L. Lewis. And one night, Wolfe heard cellist Ashley Bathgate sing karaoke. \u201cI thought, \u2018That\u2019s the voice, that\u2019s the voice!\u2019\u201d\nMovement 5: Appliances\nUnexpected bursts sting like electricity. Emotionless voices drone about lives changed by coal: \u201cBake a cake. Drill a hole. Go to the gym. Heat your house.\u201d Actions taken with little thought of the cost to lives, to communities.\nPart of Wolfe\u2019s reason for using these untrained voices was \u201cto break the choir out of their more traditional sound.\u201d The score asks for rough sounds, whistling, pitch-bending. And the All-Stars helped with this. \u201cMark often coaches the choir [The Choir of Trinity Wall Street at the performance next month], saying, \u2018Let\u2019s do a call and response. When I go for it, you guys go for it!\u2019\u201d\nBefore Anthracite Fields, Wolfe had avoided setting text to music, despite her background in theater. \u201cOne of the things that drew me to music was that it was beyond words,\u201d she says. \u201cYou could say so much and not have to explain what you are saying.\u201d\nTwo decades of writing almost solely instrumental music allowed her \u201cto dive into what composition is, what orchestration is, what sound is, what a piece of music is.\u201d But now with Anthracite Fields, Wolfe has come home\u2014to Pennsylvania, to folk music, to labor politics, to words.\n\u201cThere\u2019s a reason I took this crazy journey,\u201d she says with a laugh. \u201cIt was so natural to come back. It seems like it\u2019s meant to be.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Prior to the global financial crisis (GFC) of 2007-2008, studying the effects of fiscal policy on real economic variables like output and employment had fallen out of fashion in macroeconomics.[1] This was largely because monetary policy was viewed\u2014since Paul Volcker\u2019s 1980s tenure as Federal Reserve Chairman\u2014as the superior policy tool to regulate business cycles, being quicker, more targeted and completely transparent.\nSince the GFC, we have seen numerous studies of fiscal policy and of a specific measure of interest\u2014the so-called fiscal multiplier.[2] A fiscal multiplier measures the response of economic variables to the shock of a one-time increase in government spending (holding, in principle, everything else constant). Research has shown that deficit-financed fiscal policy is stimulative when: (A) economic growth is below its potential and idle resources are available, and (B) the policy alters intertemporal decision-making by individuals and firms, pulling future consumption and investment into the present. Otherwise, deficit-financed fiscal spending crowds out private investment through higher interest rates as the government borrows from private capital markets.\nConsider this about the U.S. economy: Unemployment is low, real wages are rising and inflation expectations are trending up. Add to this a growing skills mismatch that has resulted in worker shortages in certain sectors, especially in tech, all of which suggest that there is not much of an output gap.\nSince the U.S. election in November, there has been much talk regarding federal infrastructure spending. At present, this spending's scope and scale remain undefined. It may take the form of direct government spending on infrastructure projects, but (A) above may not be true. Or it may take the form of tax incentives to create public-private partnerships, which might not result in (B) above. In other words, setting aside long-run ramifications of improving the condition of U.S. roads and bridges, infrastructure spending may not be particularly stimulative. It may simply push up interest rates. While actual policy is worked out in Washington, D.C., we should perhaps take the time to review \"Evaluating the Fiscal Stimulus,\" circulated in 2009 by University of Chicago economist Kevin Murphy.\n[1] It remained a topic of interest in the field of public finance.\n[2] Fiscal Multipliers: Size, Determinants, and Use in Macroeconomic Projections, International Monetary Fund, September 2014.",

        "raw_content": "British Police Hunt Bombers\nBritish police seized explosives at the home of a suspect on Saturday in the hunt for neo-Nazi bombers who have killed two people in a string of London blasts.\nA police spokesman said the explosives were found in an early morning swoop at Cove south of London, about eight hours after a blast ripped through a gay pub in the capital's teeming Soho entertainment district.\nCBS News Correspondent Mark Phillips reports that two people were killed and at least 70 others wounded in Friday's explosion, the third and most devastating nail bomb attack on minority communities in London in two weeks.\nA shadowy, neo-Nazi group called White Wolves claimed responsibility for Friday's explosion in the Admiral Duncan, a gay pub overflowing with drinkers celebrating the balmy start of a three-day weekend.\nThe White Wolves are believed to be an even more radical sect that splintered off from Combat 18, the group that said it planted the previous two bombs - April 17 in the south London neighborhood of Brixton, and April 24 in the largely Bangladeshi community of Brick Lane. Authorities said 115 people have been injured in the three bombings.\nAlthough the Irish Republican Army killed about 120 people and injured thousands during its 23 years of bombings in England aimed at ending British rule in Northern Ireland, the outlawed group always provided some form of warning before its devices went off.\nAll the White Wolves' \"high command\" provided were identical stencilled death threats sent to members of the Jewish, black and Asian communities in recent weeks, saying in part:\n\"Notice is hereby given that all non-whites (defined by blood, not religion) must permanently leave the British Isles before the year is out. Jews and non-whites who remain after 1999 has ended will be exterminated.\"\nAuthorities arrested five people beginning on Friday in the attacks, but four were ruled out as suspects, Deputy Police Commissioner David Veness told reporters Saturday.\n\"Combustible materials\" were found in the fifth suspect's home in Cove, southwest of London, according to a senior officer from Scotland Yard's anti-Terrorist Branch, speaking on condition of anonymity.\nThe officer also confirmed the suspect appeared to be the same white man shown in video footage released Thursday by police, who said it depicted their chief suspect in the Brixton attack.",

Charcoal, graphite and pastel on rag paper. 14 X 21\"\nAt a time when Asian-American artists were virtually absent from the contemporary art scene, Ching Ho Cheng was highly regarded by his peers and by prominent art historians such as Gert Schiff and Henry Geldzahler, the first curator of Twentieth-Century Art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Both men, close friends of Cheng, promoted and collected his work, which was exhibited extensively in New York and Europe.\nCheng often traveled abroad, but when in New York City he resided at the landmark Chelsea Hotel during its edgiest, wildest time. In the 1960/70s the roster of residents there included the artists Larry Rivers, David Hockney, Vali Myers, and Richard Bernstein, fashion designer Charles James, and the rock star Dee Dee Ramone. He once lived in a room that had been occupied by Arthur Miller and Marilyn Monroe. Cheng, a regular at Max\u2019s Kansas City, was also friendly with Andy Warhol and Bette Midler. Rosa von Praunheim filmed Cheng in his Chelsea Hotel studio for Praunheim\u2019s award-winning film, Tally Brown, New York (1979), a documentary about Tally Brown, singer and actress.\nHis psychedelic experiences in these years led to the first body of work, about which the poet David Rattray, in his article Visualizing the Invisible: The Psychorealism of Ching ho Cheng (Bres Magazine, 1976) remarked: \u201chis pictures make a decorative first impression. But then, as one focuses on their disturbingly visceral imagery and funky sexuality, they get tough. \u201cCheng\u2019s Angel Head was included in the Sinister Pop exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art, 2012-13, and was acquired by the Museum along with these other works from this period. Henry Geldzahler found in these paintings \u201ca search for evidence of connectedness: man with man, man with nature, and man with God\u2026\u201d\nAt the same time Cheng began to study ancient cultures which led him to experiment with colors and shapes as symbols: the egg form stands for regeneration, blue represents spirituality and green denotes rebirth.\nIn the late 1970\u2019s Cheng\u2019s work took a radical turn-about. He began to depict ordinary objects in his studio - a window, light switches, peeling paint - in airbrushed gouaches so delicate they appear as whispers of paint. Cheng found serene beauty in mundane objects. He became increasingly fascinated by auras and light, which for him symbolized the afterlife.\nIn the early 1980\u2019s a new period of his art emerged when, in frustration, he tore up a drawing he found inadequate - a meticulous artist, Cheng destroyed works that were not up to his standards. From this one transformative act evolved his stunning body of torn works. He realized that the process of tearing paper was simultaneously constructive and deconstructive. The wall sized Interrupted Text, a torn work created in collaboration with the poet David Rattray. Rattray wrote the text in black ink on paper, specially prepared and then torn by Cheng. This partial destruction transformed the text in such a way that it could never again be read in its entirety. It became a visual expression for our fragmented perception of reality.\nIn the fall of 1981, Ching ho Cheng went to Turkey. Visiting caves and grottoes, he was fascinated by their colors and textures. Back at the Chelsea, he explored an oxidation process, which led him to submerge paper, covered with copper or iron filings, in water for several weeks. He was thrilled by the rust\u2019s permanence and depth, but at the same time he saw the spiritual possibilities of these works. The oval and curved shapes took on meaning as passageways to the next realm, the afterlife, which concerned Cheng in all his artistic endeavors. The culmination of these rust works was an installation at the Grey Art Gallery in 1987 of an arc filling the whole large window of the gallery, facing Washington Square Park.\nCheng was born in Cuba where his father held a diplomatic post. His extended family in China was among the wealthiest and most respected families in the country. Cheng\u2019s revered great aunt, Soumay Cheng, a graduate of the Sorbonne University, was the first female lawyer and judge in China and the first Chinese lawyer ever to practice at the French Court in Shanghai. During the revolution, which eventually overthrew the ruling Manchu Dynasty, the young Soumay Cheng collaborated with the Kuomintang (Chinese Nationalist Party). She traveled with a suitcase full of explosives destined for the Kuomintang\u2019s clandestine stash of munitions, and participated in secret meetings in her home. She married Wei-Tao Ming, a prominent diplomat and politician. Cheng\u2019s family moved to New York in 1951. He lived in Kew Garden Hills, Queens, and studied at the Cooper Union School of Art (1964-1968). His first one-man show was held in Amsterdam in 1976, and his first exhibition in New York followed a year later at the Gloria Cortella Gallery.\nBy Leanne Zalewski",

Exploring What Makes Us Oregonians\nIn 2015, Oregon\u2019s population exceeded 4 million people, and the state is changing demographically. Considering that Oregon has a history of racial exclusion, these changes prompt questions about Oregonian identity and values. How are minority and under-represented populations included and treated today? This is the focus of a conversation with Kerani Mitchell, an East Indian adoptee who has spent most of her life in small Oregon towns and since has extensively studied multicultural and social justice issues. Mitchell is accustomed to questions about her citizenship and lineage. The constant questioning of her identity inspired Mitchell to obtain a BA in International Studies from Seattle University, where she focused on multicultural and social justice issues. She\u2019s since held numerous positions coordinating people and programs in nonprofit settings, working with immigrant, student, and volunteer populations. She currently works as a coordinator at the year round arts and cultural nonprofit Sisters Folk Festival, Inc., and serves on the Bend International School Board of Directors.\nThrough the Conversation Project, Oregon Humanities offers free programs that engage community members in thoughtful, challenging conversations about ideas critical to our daily lives and our state's future. Oregon Humanities (921 SW Washington, Suite 150; Portland, OR 97205) connects Oregonians to ideas thatchange lives and transform communities.

        "raw_content": "Andrew Pearce: Cinema Symphony \u2013 Great film music without a film\nThere are elements of John Williams and other classic movie composers in Andrew Pearce's 'Cinema Symphony' - but its scale and duration make it an extended feast for film music lovers.\nFor a number of the greatest film composers, working on movies was just a highly lucrative means to pay the bills; what they really wanted to do was write for the concert hall. Take the great Erich Wolfgang Korngold for example. Considered to be a \u2018musical genius\u2019 by Mahler, Korngold\u2019s \u2018serious\u2019 composing career was ultimately derailed by his years in Hollywood. After giving up writing for film, however, he was never able to revive interest in his concert music, even meeting with critical disdain. And to this day, Ennio Morricone maintains his primary goal has been to write for the concert hall. He continues to compose music that serves no other purpose than to exist for its own sake.\nOne curious element of the concert music that movie composers often write is that it doesn\u2019t often sound like their film music. John Williams has written numerous concertos, orchestral and chamber works, but in a modernist, often atonal, style that bears little resemblance to his sumptuous scores. It\u2019s surprising that composers who understand the power and beauty of great melodies often reject them in their concert works as if the pieces won\u2019t be taken seriously if they are too accessible.\nThat\u2019s certainly not the case with Andrew Pearce\u2019s Cinema Symphony. Written over a period of six years, the work is an affectionate homage to Hollywood\u2019s epic film scores and revels in a sound world not a million miles away from the classic soundtracks of Williams or Jerry Goldsmith. Pearce \u2013 who received a Masters at the Royal College of Music in Composition for Screen \u2013 has mainly worked as an arranger but here he has created a major symphonic work that has all the passion, flair and drama of film music but with the possibility of developing themes and musical structure as you would for a major concert work.\nThe influence of Williams is strong in the first movement, marked 'Pastorale - Fanfare - Scherzo'. Then there\u2019s more than a little nod to Bernard Herrmann\u2019s Hitchcock scores in the second movement, 'Lento Misterioso\u2019. The third movement draws inspiration from Goldsmith, and Pearce returns to Williams-style motifs for the final movement. There are also passages that sound somewhat like Debussy and Ravel \u2013 but that\u2019s not surprising since the two Frenchmen exerted such a strong influence on the music of the movies.\nWhat Cinema Symphony offers is a modern orchestral work that has all the excitement and emotion of great film music on a scale and with a duration that allows the listener to get to grips with it and really get immersed in it. And the pictures it creates in the mind makes you wish for a film to go with it.",

My duty is to ensure the hardware development team\u2019s success. It is an intricate group that works in a peculiar manner. It has not been easy to develop a system, where all individual employees work well as well as function together as a team. It is an interesting system, where individuality and teamwork are valued. My team of engineers and specialists require teamwork in order to reach the goals set from above. We start every morning with a quick stand-up meeting to catch up with everyone\u2019s tasks and progress. It is an easy way for everyone, but especially me, to know where each employee is standing. And it does not require a lot of effort, but gives great benefits. We also react as a team, when anyone hits a wall and gets stuck with a task. We might bounce ideas at the lunch room or take a whole day for brainstorming at an inspiring location. And sometimes we even take our problems to other departments to get some fresh eyes on the problem. I see the necessity of inter-department teamwork as well as co-operation between departments. But no team will work if the individual employees are not contributing. I believe that every team member must have a suitable work environment first and feel appreciated to put in maximum effort. I have created a freedom for my employees. I do not bind them in their work and instead of saying how to do, I just give them a goal to reach. They have the freedom to decide. They are most efficient, when they have created their own work processes and can remodel these. Suggestions for improvements and change is always welcome. I even encourage making mistakes and failures, because it means that they are trying and discovering new ways. I am truly happy to work with my team and will keep on working to provide them with best tools to succeed. We already have a system that guarantees us making it to the finish line, but we will always look for new ways to get there faster, smarter and easier.",

The rumors he was \u201cout\u201d had been swirling for months. The press \u2014 even traditionally conservative press \u2014 thought he was out of his depth at best, and a liar at worst. While the political eulogies haven\u2019t been written yet, it\u2019s likely he\u2019ll be blamed, at least in part, for President Trump\u2019s historically low approval rating.\nHe deserves none of the blame. He played a poor hand as well as he possibly could. Until the president becomes more disciplined in his actions and his statements, no Press Secretary or Communications Director will succeed in this administration.\nLet\u2019s start with the first attack on Spicer, that he was incompetent, prone to silly slips of the tongue or outright offensive lies. He did say some unsettling things \u2014 but, as I\u2019ve argued, those slip ups were almost always timed when the president had said something worse immediately beforehand. Spicer repeatedly sacrificed his own reputation to save his president from embarrassing storylines. He served as a lightning rod.\nRead the full article at Newsmax.",

        "title": "Africa investing: US private equity investments go to Sub-Sahara",
        "raw_content": "US investors uncover a new market\u2014and it's popping\nPublished 11:15 AM ET Fri, 22 Nov 2013 Updated 3:22 PM ET Mon, 25 Nov 2013 CNBC.com\nCompass Odyssey | Gallo Images | Getty Images\nSub-Saharan Africa was once seen by U.S. investors as a pure commodity play\u2014or as a part of the world to avoid entirely. No more. Smart money is increasingly finding its way into Africa, and it's getting big returns on (relatively) small investments.\nDavid Rubenstein, co-founder of $180 billion Carlyle Group, was pushing Africa this month as the next big thing when another private equity titan, TPG Capital's David Bonderman, jumped in.\n\"It's one thing if you've got a few dollars to invest, it is very nice,\" Bonderman said at the DealBook conference in New York on Nov. 12. \"But if you are running a Carlyle and you are trying to invest $500 million a crack, it is not so easy in a place like southern Africa.\"\nBonderman, who co-founded $55.7 billion TPG, hit on an obvious but important point: Investors increasingly hungry to put money to work in Africa will find few deals that rival growth plays and buyouts in developed markets, which can easily exceed $1 billion.\nThey can, however, put those \"few dollars\" to good use.\nBig profits from small deals are no secret to Africa-focused private equity firms already well-established in the region. They usually invest $100 million or less\u2014often less than $10 million\u2014into companies that range from cellphones to yogurt to banking. About 52 percent of African private equity investments this year were less than $10 million, and 76 percent were less than $50 million, according to data from the African Private Equity & Venture Capital Association (AVCA).\nBut smaller investments can mean big profits. Investments on the continent produced annualized returns of 11.2 percent for the 10-year period ending Sept. 30, 2012, according to a study by AVCA and Cambridge Associates. That return was better than U.S. venture capital investments and roughly in line with emerging markets private equity and venture capital indexes over the same period.\nTo be sure, investing in Africa is no slam dunk. Whole swaths of the continent are ravaged by civil unrest or outright warfare, and Africa is broadly afflicted by political corruption, weak infrastructure and unreliable court systems.\nInvesting in Africa 101: Look beyond resources 11:54 AM ET Fri, 22 Nov 2013\nStill, American investors are increasingly seeing the value in small and middle market deals out of the continent.\n\"They are definitely more interested,\" said Richard Okello, a former partner at Bridgewater Associates who recently co-founded Africa-focused Sango Capital Management. Okello said he gets so many calls from people who want to learn about investing in Africa that he can't return them all.\n\"There are a lot of assets that are still well-priced and give you a good cushion,\" Okello added, describing various plays on the continent's emerging middle class. \"They are fast-growing companies doing simple things that you don't have to be a rocket scientist to understand why that supply-demand gap exists.\"\nSango, which combines direct investing and allocations to third-party managers, launched last year and has already raised $110 million. It's now closed to new investment. The firm is based in Johannesburg, South Africa, but about 75 percent of its clients are private American institutional investors.\nFirms are already taking advantage of the increased capital flows to Africa by selling their companies at high profits.\n(Read more: Morgan Stanley, Abraaj among those seeing big Africa returns)\nThere were 118 \"exits\" from African companies\u2014essentially, investors cashing out\u2014by private equity firms from 2007 to 2012, according to a study by Ernst & Young and AVCA. The report found that African exits were nearly double the return of the public markets, as represented by an index of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. The JSE is up about 138 percent over the last five years.\nOne example is West African-focused private equity firm African Capital Alliance's investment in Nigerian luxury busing. The firm made a $2.5 million investment into ABC Transport in 2003, when the company was one of the first to provide relatively high-end regional ground transportation. The company quickly became the Peter Pan or BoltBus of Nigeria, a welcome alternative to the crowded and unreliable travel options that existed. ABC went public on the Nigerian stock exchange in 2008, generating a 49 percent investor rate of return\u2014or about five times their money.\nABC wasn't the only hit for African Capital. The Lagos, Nigeria-based firm produced a return of 46 percent in its first PE fund, which ran from 1998 to 2012. ACA has raised about $750 million overall and plans to start marketing a new fund in 2014. About 14 percent of their investors are American, and interest is increasing.\n\"We think it's just the beginning, because the returns will continue to tell the story,\" ACA partner Afolabi Oladele said by telephone from Lagos.\nAnother example is from Emerging Capital Partners, a $2 billion, Africa-focused PE shop. The firm profited from an early investment in African telecom just as mobile phone use started to explode on the continent. The firm put $50 million into telecom firm Celtel in 2000, and the company grew to become the largest mobile network in Africa. It was sold to Kuwaiti telecom company MTC for about $214 million, earning ECP a 4.3 times capital return.\nWashington-based ECP has made about 50 investments across 40 countries in Africa since 2000 and averages about 2.4 times returns on their exits. The firm now sees opportunity in the casual dining market, such as ECP's investment in Nairobi Java House.\n(Read more: Nigeria's property boom: Only for the brave)\n\"The greater upside comes from finding the smaller-scale companies with more potential for growth and scale\u2014and therefore return,\" said Hurley Doddy, co-CEO of of $2 billion ECP.\nThat opportunity has money flowing in.\nSub-Saharan Africa is for the first time the most attractive emerging market for investors, according to a recent survey by the Emerging Markets Private Equity Association. Capital committed to the Africa-focused funds increased 20 percent to $779 million through the first three quarters of 2013, from $648 million for the same period in last year, according to the group.\nExamples of recent deals include Jacana Partners' Nov. 11 investment in Process and Plant Sales Ghana, a supplier of industrial products and services to the mining, construction and processing industries in that country. Jacana wouldn't discuss the exact amount, but the firm typically invests $1 million to $5 million and has committed $28 million to date in 23 portfolio companies.\nOther sample investments this year include Investec Asset Management's $33 million into South Africa insurance company Assupol Life; Amethis Finance's $11 million into Kenya's Chase Bank; and Advanced Finance and Investment Group's $7 million into Senegal's Elton Oil, according to AVCA.\nNew funds springing up\nAfrica an inspiring story: Marriott CEO 11:56 AM ET Fri, 22 Nov 2013\nMore and more big firms are getting involved.\nBlackstone Group and KKR have made recent investments in Africa, and the Carlyle Sub-Saharan Africa fund, the first regionally focused fund by a major American private equity firm, will have $700 million by the end of 2013, exceeding its initial $500 million fundraising target at launch in 2012, according to a recent report.\nThe Abraaj Group, a $7.5 billion specialist in emerging and frontier markets, recently launched an $800 million Africa-focused fund, its third such vehicle. Abraaj typically targets three times growth in its portfolio companies from an initial investment of $20 million to $100 million and has achieved 25 exits in Sub-Saharan Africa in the last five years, according to partner Tom Speechley.\n(Watch this: Africa is no longer a 'commodity story')\n\"What we've found in Africa, like many of our markets, is that in the mid-market you can find these companies and not end up competing with lots of other investors to do the deal. And so having identified an attractive sector, usually consumer-facing, you can have a choice of which company to back,\" Speechley said.\nPineBridge Investments is also launching an Africa-focused fund of private equity funds and is seeking to raise $200 million. The firm\u2014formerly the asset management businesses of American International Group\u2014was one of the first international private equity participants in Africa when it began making investments in 2000.\n'Really impressive management teams'\nInvestors should back Africa's infrastructure: Expert 4:24 PM ET Thu, 17 Oct 2013\nInvestment bankers couldn't be more excited to advise on all the deals.\nAllison Molkenthin, a managing director at Africa-focused boutique Bentley Securities, said American investors will be surprised by the management of potential portfolio companies.\n\"There are great small companies with really impressive management teams that know how to navigate developing and frontier markets, as they have grown up and innovated in them their whole lives,\" Molkenthin said.\nBonwick Capital is another. The firm is advising on five small African deals now and believes the returns will impress.\n\"It's much smaller than a typical private equity deal,\" said Chris Valentine, Bonwick's head of investment banking. \"But the anticipated returns are in the 40 or 50 percent ... range in a very conservative base case.\"\n\u2014By CNBC's Lawrence Delevingne.

        "raw_content": "Make a Personal Breakthrough by Running at \"Level 10\"\nThere is no substitute for consistency and hard work in distance running. The reality is that it takes a lot of time and effort to reach your God given potential.\nOnce you have put in the time and work however, there is one simple strategy that helps create a major breakthrough. Like most breakthroughs in life, the answer to getting better in any area is usually simple, straightforward, and right in front of us.\nThis past cross country season, the high school team I coach focused a lot of time and effort on defining what it means to give a \u201c10\u201d effort on the cross-country course. On a scale of 1-10, 10 being high, the goal was to race at a 10 mentally, especially in important races.\nMost people think they are running at a 10 when in reality they are giving an 8 or 9 effort. There is always more in the running tank. The challenge is tapping into your reserves and truly running at an effort of \u201c10\u201d.\nThere is a lot of research out there that is pretty clear that we can always give more effort than we think we can. Giving more than ever before happened to the team I coach (Pope John Paul II High School) at the 2018 Washington State High School Cross Country Championships.\nAs a group, our team ran at a level \u201c10\u201d finishing ahead of a team that was 162 points ahead of them in the Athetic.net rankings (for our readers outside of the United States, Athletic.net is the main database of race results for teams and individuals in track and field and cross country). Now, team rankings are just a projection and subject to error. However, 162 points is a large margin even if you allow for multiple errors in ranking projections.\nThe primary reason why our team had their best race when it mattered the most is attributable to their level \u201c10\u201d mental attitude. They were blessed to \u201cpeak\u201d mentally as well as physically at the right time. The Pope John Paul II team recorded their highest finish ever at the 2018 state cross country meet.\nMuch is written about physical peaks in endurance running, but far less is written about mental peaks.\nPeaking at the right time mentally requires a perceived effort of 10, not an effort of 8 or even 9.\nAs the late Steve Prefontaine once said, \u201cto give less than your best is to sacrifice the gift\u201d. Running at level \"10\" is another way of saying the same thing.\nFind ways to get to a \u201c10\u201d mentally in your race and you'll experience a personal breakthrough in you\u2019re running career.\nLive Philippians 4:13",

        "raw_content": "This morning I\u2019m travelling to Bournemouth with my wife and Head of Communications Francesca, fellow Funeral Director James Rogers, and Trainee Funeral Director Steven Long. And whatever happens at the Good Funeral Awards ceremony later \u2013 I can honestly say I\u2019m really proud of our team and our accomplishments\u2026\nBeing nominated for Funeral Director of the Year by my employees, and peers in this industry, is up there with my proudest moments \u2013 along with the birth of our two beautiful daughters. Last year, my family business was accredited by the Good Funeral Guide (the only Funeral Director in Wales to have achieved this top accolade); one of my team, James Rogers, was a Good Funeral Awards Finalist; and our whole team won Business of the Year 2018: Cardiff, voted for by our customers. We have also recently won Golden Charter\u2019s Funeral Planner of the Year, two years running. Now, to be recognised by the people I work with on a daily basis, in the most prestigious way, is the icing on the proverbial cake.\nWhen I started in the funeral industry as a chauffer/bearer for a small carriage master\u2019s business (a part time job while I studied at University) \u2013 I saw many funeral homes in the Cardiff area \u2013 and had a vision for how things could be. I quickly realised that there was potential to offer families a much better, bespoke and caring service, and at the age of 25 I took the risky decision to buy Rumney Funeral Home, with very limited funds. In the thirteen years since, I have worked tirelessly to transform the business, which I\u2019m humbled to say the Good Funeral Guide claims to be: \u201cone of the finest, most innovative and professional funeral directors we\u2019ve seen\u201d.\nColes Funeral Directors is one of the last remaining family-run funeral directors in Cardiff, as all but one other are now owned by the large conglomerates. My brother Alex and wife Francesca are both very much part of the business too, and there is a strong family feeling amongst our tight-knit team here. Our independence is really important, as we can provide a transparency and flexibility in our service that other companies simply cannot offer. It also means that we can be truly community-focussed. As you know, we actively fundraise to support many local charities and youth groups, sponsor local sports teams, and work closely with the best local tradespeople, businesses and suppliers to set our service apart from the rest.\nQuite apart from providing a market-leading service, for me, my role as a Funeral Director is to change the perception of the Funeral Industry, dispel the many myths, and encourage people to think about their end of life and death care \u2013 and to provision for it by planning ahead (either by pre-arranging, or pre-paying). Many people don\u2019t know the choices available to them so I make it my mission to explain them by ensuring our marketing collateral and website provides a hub of useful, up to date information (where transparency is key and a whole section is dedicated to pricing). As I write in my weekly blog: we all talk about leading a \u2018good life\u2019, with \u2018good health\u2019, and having a \u2018good innings\u2019. I am actively encouraging people in our community to have a \u2018good death\u2019 too.\nThank you, from the bottom of my heart for tuning in every week, and for your kind nominations\u2026 wish us luck at the Good Funeral Awards!",

        "title": "Sun's new big iron bends the rules - Computerworld",
        "raw_content": "Sun's new big iron bends the rules\nIf the local RAID controller supported RAID5, this server would be nearly perfect\nPaul Venezia (InfoWorld)\nLooking at Sun's brand-new sun Fire x4600 M2, most would figure it for a quad-socket system. After all, at 4U it matches the profile of the four-way HP ProLiant DL585 and Dell PowerEdge 6850. A quick peek under the hood tells a different tale, however: The Sun Fire x4600 M2 holds eight (eight!) easily swappable sockets.\nArmed with current dual-core Opteron processors, this equals 16 cores per server, so a rackful would bring the total to 160 cores. The Sun Fire x4600 M2 will also be able to run with the next-generation quad-core AMD Opteron chips, bringing the total core count per rack to an amazing 320. Packed with 128GB of RAM per server, that's a full terabyte of RAM in the same rack. At US$51,995 for a single x4600 with eight dual-core Opteron 8128 CPUs, 32GB of RAM, and two 73GB SAS drives, that power doesn't come cheap, but the x4600 offers quite a bit of bang for the buck.\nWhile unpacking the x4600, the first thing I noticed was the enormous fan arrays. Two sets of four large fans sit right in the front of the case. The only cooling fans in the entire chassis, they push air directly over the vertically mounted CPU modules, and they are surprisingly quiet during normal operation. Behind these modules are six half-height PCI-E and two PCI-X expansion slots with plenty of elbow room. The almost complete absence of ribbon cables was also surprising.\u00c2\nHardware error conditions in the x4600 are handled with aplomb. Should a DIMM fail on any of the processor modules, the release handles light up. Further, pulling a CPU module out of the server and tapping a button will cause the socket containing the bad DIMM to light up using power from an on-board capacitor. All these features lead me to the conclusion that this is one of the best-designed server chassis I've ever seen.\nPowering the x4600 are four 850-watt power supplies operating in a 2+2 redundant configuration. Although the system wouldn't power up with only two functional power supplies present, it would continue to run following the loss of the same two power supplies. This adds up to a lot of power consumption, but not as much as I expected given the server's overall performance and abundance of processors.\nWhither RAID 5?\nThe x4600 sports four Gigabit Ethernet NICs, two USB2 ports in the rear and two up front, four hot-swap 2.5-inch SAS drive bays, and a vertically mounted DVD-ROM drive. The eight I/O slots in the rear enjoy bandwidth of more than 20GBps to the processor racks. Local disk is handled by an LSI Logic SAS RAID controller, which proved to be the only poor choice in an otherwise pristine piece of server engineering.\nWhile performing initial OS installs on the x4600, I noticed that the system seemed slightly sluggish when the local disk I/O was taxed. Considering the 16 cores ticking over inside the box, the problem clearly wasn't the CPUs, but the local disk controller.\nThe LSI Logic controller embedded on the mainboard is limited to RAID 0/1 only, despite the presence of four hot-swap drive bays, and this controller shares a 100MHz bus with the two PCI-X slots. This all adds up to roughly 55MBps sequential reads and 42MBps sequential writes to local disk, as measured by Bonnie++ running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 with a 4GB file size.\nThat's about 80 percent of the performance of an older HP DL585 with one Ultra320 36GB SCSI drive. Enabling write caching would provide a boost, but the controller isn't battery-backed, so that isn't really an option for a production server.\nSun's point of view is that nearly all applications for the x4600 will involve external disk in the form of direct-attached SCSI or a Fibre Channel or iSCSI SAN, and the local disk will be used only for booting and swapfile. Sun is absolutely correct, but like it or not, local disk should perform well enough to keep the server's head above water.\nThis issue aside, the x4600 has a wide range of I/O options available directly from Sun, which is handy because the I/O slots are half-height. From 2Gbps and 4Gbps Fibre Channel HBAs from QLogic and Emulex to multiport Gigabit Ethernet and InfiniBand cards, there's plenty to choose from. No 10Gbps card is available yet, but Sun plans to release one before the end of 2006. The use of half-height cards in the x4600 doesn't seem to make sense at first, because there's plenty of room in the case, but Sun stuck with half-height cards to remain consistent among the x4100, x4200, and x4600 servers.\nVirtuoso of virtualization\nThe x4600's plentiful processing and I/O resources make it a tremendous platform for virtualization, and sure enough, the server is on the VMware HCL (Hardware Compatibility List). I've been running VMware Infrastructure 3 on it for a week in the lab not only problem-free, but the server barely breaks a sweat while running eight two-processor Windows and Linux VMs under normal load.\nIt's always hard to gauge actual VM host loads, because there's so much fluctuation in the loads on the VMs themselves, but I would estimate that a maxed-out x4600 would handle 32 or more medium- to large-workload virtual servers with no complaints. For many shops, two of these servers would represent a datacenter's worth of computing power -- and be fully redundant. This makes the power consumption not even worth mentioning.\nThe ILOM (Integrated Lights-Out Manager) card present in the x4600 conforms to Sun's new Web UI standards, and it's quick and easy to use. The Java-based remote console application is extremely responsive and among the best in the industry. I did most of the OS builds on this server via remote console sessions with little trouble, although some OSes won't install properly from a remote-mounted ISO image. This is because the image mounts as a secondary CD-ROM device, not the primary, preventing some installers from locating the proper device.\nAnother note is that the onboard LSI Logic controller is not recognized by the Windows installer, requiring a driver disk in floppy format. As there is no floppy drive on the x4600, this floppy could be remotely mounted from a floppy image, or you could use a USB floppy drive; either way, it's a bit of a pain. Once installed, however, Windows Server 2003 runs like a champ. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 4 installed via Preboot Execution Environment with no problems.\nOverall, the Sun Fire x4600 is a superb server with an obvious focus on virtualization, HPC, and database applications. If the local RAID controller supported RAID5, and the local disk I/O had more headroom, this server would be nearly perfect.\nBOTTOM LINE: Sun Fire x4600 M2\nScore: Excellent -- 8.9\nAvailability 9.0 25.0\nPerformance 8.0 20.0\nScalability 10.0 20.0\nManagement 9.0 15.0\nServiceability 9.0 10.0\nValue 8.0 10.0\nProduct: Sun Fire x4600 M2\nCost: US$51,995 as tested with eight AMD Opteron 8128 CPUs, 32GB RAM, two 73GB SAS drives\nPlatforms: Sun Solaris 10 x86, Windows Server 2003, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, VMware Infrastructure 3, Suse Linux Enterprise Server 9 and 10\nBottom Line: Sun packed a whole lot of power into the Sun Fire x4600, which sports as many as eight AMD Opteron dual-core CPUs and 128GB of RAM. The overall server design is impeccable. The only flaws are the relatively poor performance of the local disk and the lack of RAID5 on the local SAS RAID controller. Otherwise, the x4600 is an extraordinarily well-engineered server.",

The survey looked at bring-your-own-device (BYPD) trends and plans.\nIn the survey, employees from Singapore said their companies are the most proactive in using digital rights management rather than device-level access management to control the flow of potentially sensitive company information.The nations included in the survey were the U.S., France, Germany, Spain, Italy, the U.K., Australia, Singapore, India and the Beijing region of China.\nAmong the questions, Dell asked IT managers: \"Should companies focus on users or devices when developing a BYOD strategy?\"\nThirty percent of managers in the U.S. said their companies are more likely to focus on users over devices. In Singapore, that number was more than twice as high, with 63% of managers saying they would focus more on users. Forty-one percent of those surveyed in Germany said their companies put users ahead of devices, while 56% said the same thing in the U.K.\nDell's survey results are supported by past surveys from service providers and research firms such as PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC).\nA 2012 global survey of CIOs by PwC found that 28% said their workforce was using personal devices for work-related tasks. That percentage is expected to rise to 35% by mid-2013.\nIn a survey last year, PwC said U.S. IT managers indicated BYOD is on their radar, yet most businesses have not yet developed appropriate policies. According to PwC, just 43% of respondents said that their organization has implemented a security strategy for the use of employee-owned devices. And only 27% of U.S. respondents believed their mobile security was adequate to pass an audit.\n\"CIOs must rethink the traditional, rigid approach to governing access to data, applications and networks,\" PwC wrote in its survey report. \"What is needed is a device-agnostic strategy that leverages investments in the employee's personal technology to create a more mobile, agile and cost-effective platform for the business.\"\nUser-centric organizations are more likely to agree that putting user needs first is essential if BYOD is to be beneficial (Source: Dell Software)\nDell's survey results were similar.\nAbout three quarters of those polled by Dell said that BYOD can only deliver massive benefits if the specific needs and rights of each user are understood; while only an estimated 17% of organizations encourage BYOD and actively manage any device employees wish to use -- showing they understand the need to empower employees.\nWhen the IT managers were asked what BYOD means to their organization, the response was varied; 11% said it is just \"employees wanting to use their tablets.\" But 32% chose the more sophisticated response: \"The BYOD movement is about much more than managing devices -- it's about users, how they do their jobs and the degree to which organizations empower them to achieve maximum productivity -- regardless of device or location.\"\nTypically, companies with BYOD policies focus on specific mobile phones, tablets and their OSes, attempting to add each new model into their mobile device management schemes. Instead, a more effective approach is to control data access through digital rights -- regardless of the hardware, according to Carol Fawcett, CIO of Dell Software Group.\n\"Instead of worrying about their devices, we focused on enabling access to the apps and data needed by the appropriate individuals regardless of device,\" she said in a statement. \"We found this approach allowed us to be much more strategic and enabled us to focus on our biggest BYOD problems; security, access rights and data leakage.\n\"This includes using an active directory-type system database to understand who these employees are and then provision the devices accordingly,\" Fawcett said.\nBYOD is resulting in increased complexity (Source: Dell Software)\nSix in ten organizations (59%) indicated that without BYOD they think they could get left behind - this figure is largely made up of those who are already benefitting from BYOD, and is highest in Italy and the USA (both 72%) and lowest in Germany (39%) - the country also least likely to manage users over devices.\nOn average, Dell survey respondents identified four personal gains for their employees, including more flexible working hours, the ability to foster creativity, speediedr innovation, and better teamwork/collaboration.\nThere's still a security disconnect on BYOD\nCorporate employees are taking a surprisingly lax approach towards security issues raised by the...\nBYOD Twists and Turns Keep CIOs Off-Balance\nA growing backlash threatens to thwart the BYOD trend.

        "raw_content": "What Father's Day Means To Me\nIn June 2015, I helped Connections For Children run a social media campaign in honor of Father\u2019s Day (#DaddyQuotes). We used serious, charming or even silly quotes (mostly famous or known) that spoke of dads and their significant influence in the lives of children.\nAt that time, I had been a dad of precocious twin boys for nearly three years and could understand the beautiful difficulty of such a role. But, that wasn\u2019t why it was easy for me to relate to each and every quote. Every reference for a good father presented my appreciation for my own dad, a man who raised three children on his own, the youngest (me) from age 2 onward. He was there to cook every dinner, coach every baseball game, school drop-off and pick-up, and emergency\u2014big or small.\nIt was also in 2015 that my dad passed away from cardiac arrest.\nBorn in Revere, Massachusetts, my dad moved to California with his parents and siblings in the early 60s. He got decent grades, avoided the draft, hung out with hippies (probably was one at some point too), traveled through every mainland state by car, managed a rock band, fished in Alaska, went hunting, avidly attended Tina Turner concerts, rocked a handlebar mustache, got married, worked hard, owned a business, purchased a home, and was a father to three children.\nThere\u2019s more to his story, of course. But, if you were to ask him, he\u2019d say the last one topped the list.\nSo, what does Father\u2019s Day mean to me? It means it\u2019s my privilege to show appreciation to my dad; it\u2019s my duty to try to be as good a father as he was. That means I\u2019m present for the things that matter, and even the things that don\u2019t. He was always there until he physically couldn\u2019t be any longer, and I will do the same thing for my kids. That\u2019s really the best way for me to honor him and the sacrifices he made for me. He deserves that, and so do most father's.\nThis Father's Day, tell your dad just how important he is. Because like it or not, he won't be around one day to tell him. Trust me, it matters.",

And again, if people barely rate anyone, and you are saying that if they aren't rated, they are given a \"0\", then it will partially sway their rating. Because i've played against fantastic players, who surely deserve all 5's, and decided not to. I've played against horrible players who deserve all 1's. But I didn't.\nThen, at this point, I guess my question changes to, \"Why bother with a rating system at all?\" Regardless of your intention, your response is a strong argument for never rating anyone and ignoring those ratings which are given.\nby Army of GOD on Thu Aug 05, 2010 8:51 pm\nI don't really get the point of the rating system.\nNice people rate consistent 5s unless someone is actually not fun to play with/against, and dicks just give out 1s unless they play with friends.\nI haven't rated someone in a while now.\nby MichelSableheart on Fri Aug 06, 2010 1:37 am\nTFO wrote: I rate every now and then, so i'm not saying it's pointless. If i do see someone with a 4.0 rating, then obviously they aren't fun to play with. But if you start punishing players, all because someone decides not to rate, then there will be more outcries from everyone.\nBut you must admit that this is extremely strange. If some has a 4.0 rating, they are rated \"above average\". Someone who is rated 4.0 should therefore be above average fun to play with. Which is completely different from not fun to play with at all.\nFurthermore, if someone is currently rated 4.8 or 4.9, that player has to be estimated at only average, even though their rating is nearly perfect.\nSomeone who consistently leaves all 5's in rating does not help the rating system at all, because his ratings do not make a difference between the good and great players. It is impossible with the way the current rating system is used to determine which players are exceptionally fun to play with.\nThat being said, I'm afraid that this suggestion won't change that. More average ratings given out will lower all players average rating somewhat, but it won't change the problem that most players who DO rate, rate other players consistently maximum.\nby temporos on Fri Aug 06, 2010 10:37 am\nTheForgivenOne wrote: If i do see someone with a 4.0 rating, then obviously they aren't fun to play with.\nSomeone who is \"above average\" is \"[obviously not] fun to play with?\" This is completely illogical...\nTheForgivenOne wrote: But if you start punishing players, all because someone decides not to rate, then there will be more outcries from everyone.\nIf a player failed to rate a fellow player, the default rating would be like a \"0.\" You're not punishing them, you'd be saying they're no better or worse than most others on the site. That's the whole point to switching to a positive-negative format instead of the 1-5 format.\nby Army of GOD on Fri Aug 06, 2010 12:05 pm\ntemporos wrote:\nI think he was saying in his post that a 4.5-4.9 rating now is average, so any less would mean that that player is less fun to play with. I agree...\nI fully support this suggestion.\nLet's take a look at the current and proposed systems...\nCurrent rating system: you can rate 1-5 which will affect the rated player's average, or leave no rating which will not affect his rating. Currently players are giving 4-5 star ratings as the \"norm\" because they fear upsetting the player they are rating. Some few give ratings of 3 as average. This skews the rating system, making it mostly meaningless, and discouraging people from rating.\nProposed rating system: ratings would be from -2 to +2, and the default would be average -0 - so that if you would not change your rating you would automatically give the 0 rating. If someone is an average player, his average will not change from this. This way players would only have to change the rating when a player really made an impression on them - positive or negative. The average rating would settle near 0, and exceptional players would be easy to spot from their positive ratings, also players with issues would be easy to spot from their negative ones.\nThis would improve the rating system in many ways: it would make the ratings more meaningful, since you would clearly have either a positive or negative rating. This would encourage people to use the ratings system more, since it wouldn't be perceived as meaningless anymore.\nAlso it would make leaving ratings easier, since you'd only have to change the rating when you want to give some other rating than average. This would also encourage people to use the rating system, as it would be easier -> thus it wouldn't be seen as much of a chore anymore.\nThe only downside I can see is that the ratings medal system would need to be changed, and I don't see a good solution for that at the moment...\nArmy of GOD wrote: I don't really get the point of the rating system.\nThis is right on.. I used to be a dick but since changed my ways... I myself do not really see a reason for a rating system too. The stats of game played , win loss percentage and attendance pretty much draw all the conclusions you need. The ratings system gives a reason for someone to discriminate against..\nby temporos on Fri Aug 06, 2010 3:18 pm\nArmy of GOD wrote: ... a 4.5-4.9 rating now is average...\nAccording to the official instructions (which all players should be required to read before participating in their first match), a rating of 3 stars is \"average.\" Any claim to the contrary is in violation of both the Rules and Community Guidelines for the site.\nI'm a stickler for rules. They're in-place for a reason. If you disagree with a rule, then change it; don't break it. That's my policy.\nby Army of GOD on Fri Aug 06, 2010 5:11 pm\nThat's not really a \"rule\"...more a guideline. If it were a rule, half the people on the site would have their ratings removed for giving out 5s all the time.\nI agree with what you and natty are saying though. If you don't rate anyone, it should automatically give 0s.\nby bluwizard on Sun Aug 08, 2010 5:22 pm\nWhen I first started here, one of the first ratings I gave was an average (3) because that is what I honestly felt that person deserved. I was quickly berated with an angry, vulgarity laced, wall post asking why I gave such horrible ratings, and questions as to what my major malfunction was. Soon after, I realized virtually every player on the site had somewhere between 4.2 and 4.9 ratings.\nI don't know why it became the norm here to give everyone 5's all the time, but if we give everyone the same score, we are essentially giving no score to anyone. That is why I now very rarely rate anyone - the system is completely broken and useless. I don't know if this would change that, but if the system is to have any value at all it (or the community mentality) needs an overhaul.\nAs of right now, that number beside your name is completely inconsequential...\nbluwizard\nby TheForgivenOne on Sun Aug 08, 2010 5:50 pm\nJust because having a 4.5-4.9 is the norm now, does not mean it is broken.\nOnce you play here for a while, you will notice that people tend to be between 4.5-4.9, and anyone below that tends to be a poor player to play with. A lot of people find that, if the person played good enough, they get all 5's. Once you migrate over to -2 - 2, as i said, you're just going to get a lot of people with 1.5-1.9. And i really think that \"Not rating gives everyone 0\", because that will hinder people's ratings. I've seen players who have been here since 2008, who only left a handful of ratings. Or none at all. Some people on this site truly view this as a casual gaming site. They log on, take their turns, log off. They are too busy/ not bothered enough to rate anyone.\nThe rating system as we see it now is always going to be skewed. Doesn't matter if we change it to you're suggestion, keep it, or even 1-10. Some people rate all 1's, and some rate all 5's until they meet someone they really disliked.\nby temporos on Sun Aug 08, 2010 11:18 pm\nTheForgivenOne wrote: Just because having a 4.5-4.9 is the norm now, does not mean it is broken.\nThe current system isn't broken, it just doesn't work. A major problem I see with the current system is that while it's easy to spot a bad player, how do you spot a particularly good player? Right now, there's no way to tell the difference between an average and above-average player.\nI'm noticing a lot of misunderstanding (especially on your part, ForgivenOne). Under the proposed system the ratings will naturally stabilize around 0 or \"average!\" Maybe this will help:\nUnder the current system:\nA rating-not-left is not counted. The only ratings that count are the ones that are actively left by other players after a match.\nThe ratings stabilize very high (4.5-4.9), since the only ratings that count are the ones actively left, and most players that actively rate consistently leave perfect ratings.\nA player's ratings are practically useless. You can be identified as \"bad\" or \"average,\" but really good players cannot be spotted.\nUnder the proposed system:\nA rating-not-left is counted as a 0 or \"average\" rating. According to the system, all players receive a rating from all other players for every match. The act of not leaving a rating is actually the same as leaving an \"average\" rating.\nThe ratings stabilize around 0 or \"average,\" since all ratings (including non-ratings) count. Most players do not leave ratings, thereby creating a situation where most ratings are 0 or \"average.\"\nA player's ratings will mean something (as they should). A positive rating means they are an above-average player, and a negative rating means they are a below-average player.\nLet me know if anything about that comparison is unclear.\nYeah, double-post, I know...\nTheForgivenOne wrote: Once you migrate over to -2 - 2, as i said, you're just going to get a lot of people with 1.5-1.9.\nFalse. The majority of players do not leave ratings, so the majority of ratings will be 0 or \"average\" if these non-ratings are counted. Thus, the average will stabilize around 0, since the only incentive people will have for leaving ratings is if the player was particularly good or particularly bad.\nTheForgivenOne wrote: The rating system as we see it now is always going to be skewed.\nThat's why I proposed this new system, which will naturally correct the current skew.\nTheForgivenOne wrote: Doesn't matter if we change it to you're suggestion, keep it, or even 1-10. Some people rate all 1's, and some rate all 5's until they meet someone they really disliked.\nThe people who consistently leave ratings after a match are in the minority. With the majority of people not leaving ratings, and those non-ratings counted as \"average,\" this will correct the skew of that minority who don't know how to rate others properly.\nby TheForgivenOne on Mon Aug 09, 2010 12:48 am\nSo we are going to punish more people because some people decide not to rate? I don't think that's going to fly. Just because a person DOES NOT rate, does not mean they didn't enjoy the player.\nby bluwizard on Mon Aug 09, 2010 1:13 am\nOnce you play here for a while, you will notice that people tend to be between 4.5-4.9, and anyone below that tends to be a poor player to play with. A lot of people find that, if the person played good enough, they get all 5's...\nIf 3 of 5 is defined as average but 4.5+ is the norm, how is that not broken?\nIf \"good enough\" deserves a set of perfect 5s, then those numbers cease having any value. A lot of people don't leave ratings because they see the entire system as completely defective.\nI agree to the extent that its not so much the system, its the mentality of all 5's that for some reason is so prevalent here, but if ratings are truly distorted, there should either be an attempt to correct that, or to just eliminate it all together.\nAs it stands \"ratings\" carry virtually no value because they are skewed to the extreme, and if that is not a broken system, I'm not sure what is.\nI also find it extremely disconcerting that the suggestion forum moderator, of all people, would be of the opinion that a system that is admittedly skewed and/or flawed, should be treated as a lost cause. As if its a waste of time trying to fix it and that it will always be broken, that it \"doesn't matter\" basically. That is a dangerous mentality that I pray does not extend beyond this issue.\nBut, I am sorry, if what is intended to be a five-point system has essentially become binary, it most certainly is broken.\nTheForgivenOne wrote: So we are going to punish more people because some people decide not to rate? I don't think that's going to fly. Just because a person DOES NOT rate, does not mean they didn't enjoy the player.\nThis is the mentality that got me berated for giving an average rating. Being called anything but uberspecial is an insult to some. Its like those children's sports leagues where they don't keep score so everyone can be a winner. Simply not getting the gold star is seen as punishment.\nI'm sorry, but most people, by definition, should have a score that is close to average. That is, in fact, what average means. But the current system has no middle ground, no gray area. One is either a L337 h4x0r or stupid noob, here. Is that really better than some be relegated to average status?\nby TheForgivenOne on Mon Aug 09, 2010 2:28 am\nbluwizard wrote:\nThe thing is, i don't get why we are Punishing people for NOT rating people.

There is no significant difference between a 1 to 5 and a -2 to 2 scale.\nYou can't suddenly decide to retroactively handle all times someone didn't leave a rating as them handing out a 3. There may be players who didn't leave a rating because they knew not leaving a rating wouldn't influence a players rating. If the system is changed, and suddenly not leaving a rating does influence a players rating, they are unable to change the fact that they didn't leave a rating.\nIf this is implemented, it should be from a certain point of time forwards. Which means that it will take a while for the effect to take place, and the ratings of older members will be skewed upwards.\nTheForgivenOne wrote: ...What the TS is asking for, is if somebody does NOT rate anyone, their rating goes down. This new system is basically asking you to always rate people, or else it is basically like giving everyone average ratings....\nThat's just it, average shouldn't be considered a downward movement, it should be the starting point. The way things are now, everyone is five-star until proven otherwise. I believe players should actually earn the rating they have instead of starting with a five and having every rating that isn't perfection essentially being a \"punishment\", like it is now.\nIf a player doesn't do something that would compel me to give a higher (or lower) rating, then they receive the default measurement.\nI don't think anyone is going to quibble over whether it is -2+2, A-E, or different colours. What we have now is 1-5 in name only, it is really 4.5+, or not, which is what I find really pointless...\nI am more than willing to concede that implementation is the messy part, I just think the current system needs messing up.\nLast edited by bluwizard on Mon Aug 09, 2010 8:53 am, edited 1 time in total.\nby Darwins_Bane on Mon Aug 09, 2010 7:23 am\nTFO I disagree on this one. The you're thinking of the rating system in its current iteration, which is where very close to 5 stars is average. If the ratings system was used properly then 3 stars would be the norm for most ppl. basically, this suggestion is coming up with a way to normalize the ratings, not punish anyone. if you get 0's because someone didn't rate you, its because they decided not to rate you, because you were average. I support this suggestion. But it would also become a nightmare to prove ratings abuse.XD\nby Metsfanmax on Mon Aug 09, 2010 8:27 am\nI completely agree with this suggestion. Good call, OP.\nI'll agree with Michel. The first problem is an incorrect assumption: that everyone will have a +1.9 rating, and a failure to leave a rating will lower that person's rating. Faulty logic, because that person could have a -1.9 rating and be helped by the lack of a rating. Second, if you fail to rate them, it means that either you are too lazy to respond, or you didn't see anything special about that player. The latter situation truly does mean you feel they are average. The former ought to be corrected, don't you think? On this site we encourage people to rate each other (e.g. the ratings medals). This will give an additional motivation - if no one rates each other, the ratings system will become meaningless. And if that's how it ends up, fine - but as it stands now, the rating system is also currently meaningless, so we didn't lose much.\nby jrh_cardinal on Mon Aug 09, 2010 9:51 am\nMetsfanmax wrote: The former ought to be corrected, don't you think?\nno, casual gaming site, ratings aren't even a part of the game. People are NOT and SHOULD NOT be forced to rate in any way.\nFor example, I know I almost never rate 2 or 4 stars. I am just playing for fun, rating is not fun. I only rate if I feel very strongly about someone*, either positively or negatively, so they almost always get ones or fives\n* I have mass rated 5's once or twice when waiting for a speed game to start, but that's just because I'm bored and medal hunting is the only thing available",

        "title": "Right-to-Repair Laws and Consumer Electronics - Consumer Reports",
        "raw_content": "Similar legislation helped car owners, ensuring that local shops and consumers could make repairs\nThe push for right-to-repair laws in electronics is heating up in state legislatures across the country.\nBasically, these laws address what happens when an electronic product such as a phone or gaming console breaks. Can you fix it yourself or get it fixed wherever you want? Often the answer to both questions is no, and your only real choice is to go back to the manufacturer for repairs.\nThe reason is that most electronic devices don\u2019t come with detailed diagrams of the innards, and many of the parts aren\u2019t available to buy\u2014whether you\u2019re a consumer or a local repair shop.\nAccording to consumer advocates, right-to-repair laws could help.\nUpdate: On April 10, the Federal Trade Commission warned six unnamed companies that sell automobiles, video game consoles, and cellular devices about the language they use to dissuade consumers from attempting to repair their own devices. The FTC noted that unless companies make repair parts available (or have received a waiver from the FTC) they are generally prohibited from using language that suggests consumers will void their warranty if they remove a warranty sticker or use third-party repair parts.\nMore on Consumer Protection\nWhat the Battle Over Student Loan Servicers Means for Borrowers\nIn California, state Assembly Member Susan Talamantes Eggman, D-Stockton, recently introduced a bill requiring electronics makers to sell replacement parts and provide access to diagnostic tools and device schematics to consumers and independent repair shops. California is the 18th state to propose such legislation.\n\u201cToo often, people can\u2019t make simple repairs to the electronics and appliances they buy,\u201d says Maureen Mahoney, a policy analyst for Consumers Union, the advocacy division of Consumer Reports. \u201cIt should be easier for you to fix your devices yourself, or get them repaired by a professional you choose, without being penalized.\u201d\nThe freedom to repair your own electronics is laid out in the Digital Standard, a CR-led project to help set expectations for how manufacturers should handle privacy, security, and other digital rights.\n'Wait, I'm Not Allowed to Fix Stuff?'\n\u201cWe have the right to repair with cars,\u201d Kyle Wiens, CEO of iFixit, a website that publishes instructions on how to repair electronic devices. \u201cYou can take any car to your local mechanic and they\u2019ll be able to fix it.\u201d\nBut it wasn\u2019t always like that. Until 2013, carmakers routinely kept vital diagnostic and repair tools out of the hands of neighborhood mechanics, despite loud protests and attempts at state and federal legislation to make the practice illegal.\nBut then Massachusetts passed automotive right-to-repair legislation, and within a few months carmakers agreed to use the state\u2019s rules as a national standard.\nThat\u2019s why today, if your check engine light suddenly turns on, you can go to any of a number of repair shops that compete with each other and dealer service centers.\nBut often it doesn\u2019t work that way with consumer electronics.\nTake the Nintendo Switch, Nintendo\u2019s latest video game console. According to Daniel Mastin, general manager of Videogamesnewyork, an independent video game retailer and repair shop in New York City, if a customer brings in a controller with a broken thumbstick, his or her only recourse is to buy a new controller. That\u2019s because Nintendo is the only company that produces these thumbsticks and it does not make these parts available to repair shops.\n\u201cThere are no alternative thumbsticks out there,\u201d Mastin says. \u201cYou can\u2019t buy that replacement part. Other parts [for the system] you can, but there are certain things that just don\u2019t exist. [Right-to-repair laws] would force Nintendo to offer that as a part.\u201d\nA Nintendo spokesperson said the company had \u201cnothing to announce\u201d on right-to-repair issues, and referred us to the Entertainment Software Association, the video game industry\u2019s trade group. The ESA did not provide a comment in time for publication.\nTo be clear, it\u2019s not like all electronics repairs are off-limits.\nFor instance, many shops\u2014and consumers\u2014can replace computer hard drives. If you crack your iPhone screen you can go to a repair shop or order the parts and try doing the repair yourself. (In 2017, Apple reversed an unpopular policy under which such work voided iPhone warranties.)\nBut Apple is frequently cited by those arguing in favor of right-to-repair laws. There\u2019s just one Apple store each in Alaska, Kansas, and Maine, while North and South Dakota and several other states have none. Consumers in those states might be able to find an authorized shop capable of making some repairs. But often, the only way to get an Apple product repaired is to take a lengthy road trip to one of the company\u2019s retail stores or to ship the phone or laptop off to the manufacturer.\n\u201cAs a particularly rural state we are at a real disadvantage\u2014we don\u2019t have an Apple store,\u201d says Vermont state Sen. Christopher Pearson, D-Chittenden, who introduced right-to-repair legislation earlier this year. Pearson says that when the camera in his iPhone (which he uses to scan documents for his own small business) malfunctioned, he was told by a local Best Buy it would take five to seven business days to get fixed. \u201cMy phone is my office: I can\u2019t just send it away for a week,\u201d he says.\nRight-to-repair legislation on its own can\u2019t guarantee that local businesses will spring up to fix such products or turn more consumers into DIY-repair whizzes for electronics gadgets. But right to repair can force manufacturers to stop impeding those things from happening.\nApple is widely reported to have lobbied against right-to-repair laws in multiple states, even when tractors, not smartphones, were at the crux of the debate.\nThe company wouldn\u2019t comment on its lobbying efforts but told Consumer Reports that it is steadily expanding the capacity of authorized repair centers to handle same-day fixes for broken displays. Apple added that getting repairs at unauthorized centers could result in problems such as a Home button not working properly or excessive battery consumption.\nManufacturers: Right to Repair Puts Security at Risk\nThe Security Innovation Center, founded in late 2017, is among several groups that argue against right-to-repair laws. According to executive director Josh Zecher, SIC supports \u201ca balance between allowing consumers to repair their devices and protecting our collective privacy and security.\u201d\nNet Neutrality Battle Moves to States\nUnderstanding the Facebook Scandal\nOpt-Outs to Protect Your Privacy\nThe organization\u2019s partners include the Consumer Technology Association, an industry trade group that represents thousands of technology companies. (CTA did not respond to a request for comment.)\nZecher argues that many right-to-repair proposals across the country \u201cwould make consumers and businesses more insecure.\u201d\nA letter sent by groups including the CTA and ESA to Washington state Rep. Jeff Morris, D-Mount Vernon, who sponsored that state\u2019s proposed right-to-repair bill during the just-ended legislative session, claims the bill could make it easier for criminals to carry out cyberattacks.\n\u201cThe security of user information on these products is of the utmost importance to consumers that rely on them,\u201d the letter reads. \u201cIndustrial equipment, home appliances, smartphones, computers, servers, consumer electronics, medical devices, and other connected devices are at risk of hacking, and weakening of the privacy and security protections of those products will increase risks to consumers.\u201d\nMorris, the chairman of the House Technology & Economic Development Committee, says he\u2019s skeptical of that argument.\n\u201cIn our hearings when that was brought up, we asked to give specific examples in Washington state when that has happened, and none were ever provided to us,\u201d he says. \u201cDid it happen actually? I don\u2019t know, but we requested that information from folks testifying in our committee, and they were not able to supply us with any examples.\u201d\nWith so many states considering right-to-repair legislation, advocates suggest it\u2019s only a matter of time before one of them adopts a law. And they hope for a repeat of what happened in the auto industry.\n\u201cThere was real fear on that part of the auto manufacturers that variations of [the 2013 Massachusetts law] were going to happen if they didn\u2019t get their act together and come to an agreement,\u201d says Gay Gordon-Byrne, of The Repair Association, an alliance of independent repair shops that supports right-to-repair legislation. \u201cThat\u2019s why we don\u2019t think we\u2019re going to have to do this for terribly long,\u201d she adds.\nThe recently introduced California bill is currently sitting in the State Assembly\u2019s Committee on Natural Resources, and while Eggman tells Consumer Reports she is unsure whether it will pass before the legislative session ends in August, she is optimistic that right to repair will ultimately win the day.\n\u201cI think eventually it happens,\u201d she says. \u201cI don\u2019t see how we can continue as consumers to allow corporations to keep us tethered to them in the way that we are now. If I can get something fixed for $100 vs. buying a new one for $1,000, I would much rather do that $100 and be able to take my family on vacation.\u201d\n\u201cThey\u2019re fighting their customers,\u201d Gordon-Byrne says of tech companies on the other side of the debate. \u201cI don\u2019t think that\u2019s a winning strategy.\u201d\nReplace Your Smartphone Screen at Home?\nWe depend on our smartphones for many things, but what happens when you drop your device on a hard surface? CR expert, Bree Fowler, reveals to 'Consumer 101' TV show host, Jack Rico, whether you can replace the screen at home or if it's better left to the professionals.",

CR\u2019s experts help you separate food fact from fiction and give you simple strategies that will help you make better choices and eat healthier and still let you love every bite.\nSugar: The Gateway to Weight Gain\nIn the last year, we\u2019ve learned of a food fraud that may have been perpetrated on the American public. A report published in JAMA Internal Medicine revealed that in the 1960s, scientific research\u2014secretly bankrolled by the sugar industry\u2014was released that downplayed the health effects of a sugar-laden diet and instead called out \u201csaturated fat\u201d as the real dietary demon responsible for heart disease. And media outlets, food manufacturers, and ordinary citizens ate it up.\nThat bit of nutritional subterfuge may have been at least partly responsible for 50 years of misleading public health advice. And the resulting flood of packaged foods that were low in fat but high in sugars and refined grains may have contributed to the current epidemic of obesity and its related diseases, such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease, in the U.S.\n3 Ways to Raise a Healthy Eater\nQuiz: Healthy or Not? Test Your Food IQ\nToday, the typical American diet is packed with huge amounts of added sugars: We\u2019re talking those used as ingredients in many packaged foods\u2014not the ones naturally found in foods such as fruit and milk. According to the most recent data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, Americans eat about 17 teaspoons (73 grams) of added sugars per day, on average, with teenagers consuming the most, about 20 teaspoons (82 grams). That\u2019s significantly more than the American Heart Association\u2019s recommendation of 9 (or fewer) teaspoons (36 grams) a day for men and 6 teaspoons (24 grams) for women and children. Children under the age of 2 should consume no added sugars at all, the AHA advises.\nOne thing there\u2019s little doubt about now: Added sugars are bad for you. \u201cIt\u2019s settled science that a high intake of sugary drinks, the No. 1 source of added sugars in the American diet, is associated with an increased risk of overweight and obesity\u2014conditions that are directly linked to the development of type 2 diabetes,\u201d says Rachel K. Johnson, Ph.D., R.D., a professor of nutrition at the University of Vermont. A 2015 study of more than 1,700 adults found that the odds of being overweight or obese were 54 percent greater among individuals with the highest intake of sugars compared with those with the lowest intake.\nAccording to David Ludwig, M.D., Ph.D., director of the New Balance Foundation Obesity Prevention Center at Boston Children\u2019s Hospital, sugar has a specific metabolic effect on your body that contributes to weight gain. Most sugars are a combination of fructose and glucose. \u201cToo much glucose raises blood sugar and insulin. And because insulin is a potent fat-storage hormone, too much insulin is linked to weight gain.\u201d What\u2019s more, Ludwig adds, \u201can overload of fructose goes straight to the liver, overwhelming its ability to process it.\u201d That excess may raise the risk of fatty liver disease and type 2 diabetes.\nAnd even if your sweet tooth hasn\u2019t made you gain weight, it may still be putting you at increased risk of heart disease. A 2014 analysis of 40 studies published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that a higher sugar intake also meant higher levels of total cholesterol, LDL (bad) cholesterol, and triglycerides no matter how much one weighed. Another study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that people who got 17 to 21 percent of their calories from added sugars had a 38 percent higher risk of dying from heart disease than those who got 8 percent or less.\nPerhaps the trickiest thing about cutting back on added sugars is that you can\u2019t always rely on food labels to guide you. The Food and Drug Administration\u2019s plan for new food labels that call out these worrisome sugars has been postponed. Some food manufacturers, such as Campbell\u2019s and Mars, are using the new labels on at least some of their products anyway, but otherwise, consumers have to fend for themselves.\nHow to Reduce Sugar Intake\n\u2022 Swap sugar-sweetened sodas, bottled ice teas, and sports drinks for seltzer with a splash of no-sugar-added juice; reduce portion sizes of desserts and other sweets if you can\u2019t eliminate them altogether.\n\u2022 Learn all of the sugar synonyms on ingredients labels. That will give you a rough idea of how much \u201cadded sugars\u201d are present. Agave syrup, cane sugar or juice, coconut sugar, corn syrup, fruit juice concentrate, honey, and almost anything that ends in \u201c-ose\u201d (such as fructose) are all added sugars. Some of these sugars may sound healthier, but \u201conce it\u2019s in your bloodstream, it has the same metabolic effect,\u201d Johnson says.\n\u2022 Scan for hidden sugars in foods such as bread, granola, pasta sauce, frozen dinners, and salad dressings. About three-quarters of packaged foods on store shelves contain added sugars, and a few grams here and there can easily add up to more per day than you should be consuming.\n\u2022 Add your own sugar. Buy unsweetened versions of foods like cereal, oatmeal, and yogurt, and sweeten them with a little honey or sugar yourself if you need to.\u2014Sally Wadyka\nSalt: How Too Much Taxes Your Heart\nThere\u2019s plenty of scientific evidence showing that too much sodium is bad for your heart. And yet, most Americans\u2014including children\u2014are consuming about 3,500 mg of sodium per day, according to the latest Dietary Guidelines for Americans. That\u2019s about 50 percent more than the maximum of 2,300 mg per day the guidelines recommend.\nExperts say that sticking to that 2,300 mg is essential to lowering your risk of high blood pressure. \u201cThere is no question that going from very high sodium intake to moderate sodium intake improves cardiovascular health,\u201d says Andreas Kalogeropoulos, M.D., Ph.D., associate professor of cardiology at Stony Brook University School of Medicine.\nConsuming too much sodium can overwhelm the kidneys\u2019 ability to process and excrete it. The excess then gets stored in the blood, which increases water retention and blood volume. All of that results in your heart having to work harder to pump blood, increasing the pressure on your arteries and causing them to stiffen. Research shows that following a DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet\u2014a plan lower in sodium, saturated fat, sugars, and processed food\u2014that limits sodium to 2,300 mg a day can lower systolic blood pressure by about 7 points and diastolic by about 3.5 points.\nYou may have heard that the need to reduce sodium is controversial, but most experts agree that Americans eat too much salty stuff. What is in question is whether going below 2,300 mg daily is necessary, or realistic in our current food environment.\nHow to Reduce Salt Intake\n\u2022 Cut back by inches. \u201cSome studies show that if you gradually reduce salt, your taste buds adjust,\u201d says Maxine Siegel, R.D., who heads CR\u2019s food-testing lab. \u201cAnd once you get used to less, you won\u2019t miss it.\u201d\n\u2022 Don\u2019t blame the salt shaker. A 2017 study published in the journal Circulation found that only 11 percent of the sodium in our diets comes from the salt we add to food ourselves, and about 71 percent comes from packaged and restaurant food. You have to reduce the restaurant dishes and commercially processed and packaged food that you\u2019re eating\u00ad\u2014or consistently choose low- or no-sodium versions of the ones you buy often\u2014to really make a dent. And sodium is lurking in some foods you wouldn\u2019t necessarily suspect. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 10 categories of food (breads, pizza, sandwiches, cold cuts and cured meats, soups, burritos and tacos, savory snacks, chicken, cheese, eggs and omelets) account for 44 percent of our overall sodium intake.\n\u2022 Cook at home. There\u2019s a shocking amount of sodium in restaurant foods. For example, the grilled chicken parmigiana at Olive Garden has 2,000 mg of sodium, and an Egg McMuffin at McDonald\u2019s has 750 mg. (And these aren\u2019t even the highest-sodium items on the menus.) A home-cooked meal allows you to control the salt shaker and to use whole foods\u2014whole grains, fruit, vegetables, legumes\u2014and stay below the 2,300 mg threshold. \u2014Sally Wadyka\nSmart Sodium Swaps\nPackaged foods may be a big source of sodium, but the amount varies widely among brands even in the same product category. \u201cYou can slash a lot of sodium from your diet simply by comparing sodium amounts on a few similar products side by side on the store shelf,\u201d says Maxine Siegel, R.D., who heads CR\u2019s food-testing lab. Consider these examples.\nGhirardelli Premium Double Chocolate Cocoa Mix\n7 oz, prepared\nLand O'Lakes Cocoa Classics Chocolate Supreme Cocoa\nMuir Glen Organic Tomato Basil Sauce\nBertolli Organic Tomato Basil Sauce\nL\u00e4rabar Blueberry Muffin\nCampbell's Homestyle Chicken Noodle\nBirds Eye Steamfresh Whole Green Beans\nAlexia French Herb Green Beans\nFat: Cutting Back Is Only Half the Battle\nFat is a complicated topic, and well-intentioned efforts to simplify public health messages have only led to confusion.\nIn the 1980s and \u201990s, experts advised everyone to eat less fat, period. Cashews and olive oil were lumped into the same category as cheese and butter. But even back then, the research showed that different types of fats\u2014monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, and saturated\u2014had varied effects on health. The thought was that a one-note message\u2014cut fat\u2014would be easier for the public to grasp and would automatically hit the real target: reducing the amount of cholesterol-raising saturated fat people ate.\nIt did, but it also had unintended consequences. Low-fat became the healthy eater\u2019s battle cry, and to compensate, people downed more carbs, but not the \u201cgood\u201d kind like whole grains. Instead, people traded steak for pasta, and food manufacturers used refined carbohydrates (white flour and sugars) in place of fat in processed foods. Margarine\u2014made from partially hydrogenated oils, a source of unhealthy trans fats\u2014replaced butter on our morning toast. Trans fats were used in baked goods and other packaged products, and heart-healthy monos and polys got sidelined.\nNow, the fat facts are being scrambled again, with highly publicized studies suggesting that saturated fat may not be so bad for us. And again, black-and-white thinking is poised to do some dietary damage.\nAccording to Frank Hu, M.D., Ph.D., professor of nutrition and epidemiology at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, we should still pay attention to our saturated fat intake. The likely reason that some studies have not found an association between saturated fat and heart disease is that they did not take into account what was swapped in for the saturated fat. \u201cWhen we replace saturated fats with refined carbohydrates and added sugars, it\u2019s a nutritional wash,\u201d Hu says. \u201cBoth are bad.\u201d In other words, just because these studies couldn\u2019t make a clear condemnation of saturated fat, that doesn\u2019t mean you can safely reach for a brick of butter with your toast.\nOn the other hand, swapping in unsaturated fats (fish, nuts, olive oil) or healthy carbs (grains, legumes, produce) for saturated fats does, in fact, protect your heart. In a study that analyzed data from the large, long-running Nurses\u2019 Health and Health Professionals Follow-Up Studies, Hu and his colleagues found that replacing 5 percent of calories from saturated fats with polyunsaturated fats reduced heart disease risk by 25 percent. When monounsaturated fats were subbed in, the risk dropped by 15 percent, and with healthy carbs by 9 percent. There was no change in heart risk in people who cut saturated fat but ate refined carbs in their place.\nHow to Fine-Tune Your Fat Strategy\n\u2022 Avoid trans fats. If there\u2019s a \u201cbad\u201d fat, this is it; it raises LDL (bad) cholesterol and lowers HDL (good) cholesterol. Fortunately, this is an easy step. In 2015 the Food and Drug Administration removed partially hydrogenated oils (the biggest source of artificial trans fats) from the list of ingredients it calls \u201cgenerally recognized as safe\u201d (aka GRAS) and gave food manufacturers and restaurants three years to phase them out of their products. Many have already done so, and all will have to comply by the scheduled deadline of spring 2018.\n\u2022 Eat more foods that contain unsaturated fat. Avocados, nuts, olive oil, and fatty fish should all appear regularly on your plate. The latest U.S. dietary guidelines don\u2019t put limits on these healthy fats, as long as you keep an eye on calories.\n\u2022 Follow a whole-foods, plant-based diet. Instead of trying to slash saturated fat, make whole grains, legumes, fruit, and vegetables the centerpiece of your meals. Minimize your intake of added sugars and refined carbohydrates. That way, you\u2019ll naturally be getting less saturated fat in the healthiest way possible. \u2014Thomas Germain\nGluten: For Most People, Eating Less May Be Risky\nFor nearly a decade, popular diet plans have proposed that gluten\u2014a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley\u2014is responsible for many common health problems, igniting an anti-gluten wildfire that just won\u2019t extinguish. About a third of Americans buy gluten-free foods, according to market research firm Mintel, believing that eliminating gluten is healthier, and that it helps with weight loss, skin conditions, inflammation, and attention deficit disorder.\nIt\u2019s not surprising then that sales of gluten-free foods have increased 178 percent from 2013 to 2016. The craze has been making food manufacturers fat and happy with profits to the tune of a new market that\u2019s worth almost $14 billion.\nThe trouble is there\u2019s little evidence that a gluten-free diet has any health benefits for most people. Some people do need to avoid gluten: those with celiac disease, an autoimmune condition, for whom gluten causes intestinal inflammation and damage, and those who have a condition known as non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) that can cause gastrointestinal symptoms in response to gluten. But these two conditions combined affect less than 7 percent of Americans.\nFor people without celiac or NCGS, there\u2019s not much to recommend gluten-free. A 2017 study in the British Medical Journal found no connection between eating gluten and an increased risk of heart disease in people without celiac disease. In fact, giving up gluten may actually be harmful. The same study showed that people who chose a gluten-free diet were more likely to eat fewer whole grains\u2014and thereby deprive themselves of the health benefits of whole grains.\nWhat\u2019s more, because gluten-free foods can be gummy and unpalatable, manufacturers often add sodium, sugar, and fat to overcome this\u2014which also adds calories, points out Alice Lichtenstein, D.Sc., a professor of nutrition science and policy at Tufts University.\nThe second downside is that it may increase your intake of arsenic and other heavy metals. A recent study published in the journal Epidemiology showed that people who were on a gluten-free diet had up to twice the amount of arsenic and 70 percent more mercury in their systems than people who were not. That\u2019s because gluten-free cereals, crackers, and pastas are often made with rice flour. Consumer Reports\u2019 food-safety experts have found that rice and rice-based products can have worrying amounts of arsenic.\n\u201cThe bottom line is that by eliminating gluten from your diet unnecessarily, you are missing out on some important aspects of nutrition,\u201d says Marvin M. Lipman, M.D., Consumer Reports\u2019 chief medical adviser.\nFollow These Gluten Guidelines\n\u2022 Eat whole grains. Some popular gluten-free diets (such as Wheat Belly and Grain Brain) are essentially low-grain diets. But everyone\u2014including those with celiac or NCGS\u2014should eat more whole grains (amaranth, millet, and quinoa are a few gluten-free grains). They\u2019ve been shown again and again to help protect against cancer and heart disease. They\u2019re also high in fiber, which lowers your risk of type 2 diabetes and can help you lose weight by making you feel full.\n\u2022 Choose gluten-free foods carefully. You\u2019re likely to eat some no-gluten foods, even if you aren\u2019t giving up gluten. Scrutinize the labels for high fat, sugars, or sodium levels. If you see any of them, seriously consider skipping the item.\u2014Catherine Roberts\nWhy Veggies Are the Perfect Snack\nVegetables are full of vitamins, minerals, and fiber\u2014but not a whole lot of empty calories. 'Consumer 101' TV show host, Jack Rico, shows how much of your favorite veggies you can enjoy and still just consume 100 calories.\nHow to Eat Healthier at Restaurant Chains",

        "title": "The U.S.-Backed Drug War in Mexico Has Never Been Deadlier",
        "raw_content": "by Edward Hunt\nThe Trump administration is continuing to help the Mexican government wage a war on drugs despite a recent report that more than 33,000 Mexicans were killed in 2018, a new record.\nAccording to Mexico\u2019s Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection, there were 33,341 homicides in Mexico in 2018. The number of deaths broke the record from the previous year, when 28,866 Mexicans were killed.\nMuch of the violence is the result of the country\u2019s long-running drug war. Since the Mexican government began deploying its military forces around the country in December 2006 to confront drug cartels, more than 100,000 Mexicans have died in drug-related violence.\nFormer U.S. official Roger Noriega has described the war as \u201ca decade-long bloodbath.\u201d\nThe U.S. government has been fueling the war with the M\u00e9rida Initiative, a multi-billion dollar program of assistance that has provided Mexican security forces with aircraft, training, and equipment.\n\u201cWe will continue to be relentless against the criminals and narco-traffickers.\u201d former U.S. President Barack Obama pledged in 2016.\nOver the past two years, the fate of the M\u00e9rida Initiative has increasingly been called into question, however, as major political changes in the United States and Mexico have disrupted the bilateral relationship. The election of Donald Trump in 2016 has left many U.S. officials wondering whether they can preserve their partnership with the Mexican government.\nLast year, former U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Roberta Jacobson repeatedly warned that Trump\u2019s demeaning rhetoric about Mexicans significantly undermined U.S. standing in Mexico. It has become \u201cincreasingly difficult\u201d for U.S. diplomats to \u201clecture\u201d and \u201ccajole\u201d Mexican officials, she said.\nAnother major change, the election of leftist politician Andr\u00e9s Manuel L\u00f3pez Obrador as Mexico\u2019s new president, has added to the concerns in Washington. During his victory speech, L\u00f3pez Obrador promised to take a new approach with the drug war. \u201cThe failed strategy of combating insecurity and violence will change,\u201d L\u00f3pez Obrador said.\nStill, little has actually changed in how the U.S. and Mexican governments have been waging the war. Last year, Congress appropriated another $139 million for the M\u00e9rida Initiative, a slight increase from the previous year. The Department of Defense added another $63.3 million in counternarcotics assistance for the Mexican military.\n\u201cThe M\u00e9rida Initiative continues to be the United States\u2019 primary vehicle to meet shared U.S.-Mexico security priorities,\u201d State Department official Richard Glenn told Congress.\nSo far, L\u00f3pez Obrador has not made any major moves to curtail the program. Although the new Mexican president declared on January 30 that the drug war is over, he has kept Mexican military forces deployed throughout the country. He recently announced that he is sending federal troops into Tijuana, where violence has been surging.\nIn one of the clearest signs of his intentions, L\u00f3pez Obrador has been trying to create a new National Guard of 60,000 troops to confront the nation\u2019s drug cartels.\nHuman rights organizations, which have been highly critical of the war, are opposed to the plan. They report that similar attempts in the past have failed to improve security in Mexico.\nL\u00f3pez Obrador \u201cis making a colossal mistake that could undercut any serious hope of ending the atrocities that have caused so much suffering in Mexico in recent years,\u201d said Jos\u00e9 Miguel Vivanco, the Americas director at Human Rights Watch.\nIn the meantime, both the Trump administration and the U.S. mass media continue to largely ignore the role played by the United States in the drug war. They blame the country\u2019s drug cartels for the growing violence and rarely have anything to say about the M\u00e9rida Initiative.\nViolence in Mexico \u201cis a big contributor to the Humanitarian Crisis taking place on our Southern Border,\u201d Trump recently tweeted. Much of it is \u201ccaused by DRUGS.\u201d\nAs usual, Trump keeps pointing to his proposed border wall as a solution. \u201cWall is being built!\u201d he tweeted. What goes unmentioned is the fact that the M\u00e9rida Initiative continues to fuel the violence while Trump\u2019s harsh migration policies prevent many of the war\u2019s victims from being able to seek refuge in the United States.\nMore articles by:Edward Hunt\nEdward Hunt writes about war and empire.

        "title": "The Toothbrush Test: How to measure how insightful your structures are \u2013 Crafting Cases",
        "raw_content": "I remember back when I was a candidate how much I appreciated good feedback given by other candidates. You know it when you see it: those that point out specifically to what you did wrong, why it wasn\u2019t the best approach and so on. Those where your case partner would suggest a couple of ways to do it differently, down to the level of how to say it. They were the only way I could meaningfully improve, I knew. But man, were they hard to find.\nMost feedback wasn\u2019t really useful. Just generic pieces of advice you can read in any book out there, and that apply to pretty much any candidate. \u201cYou should be more structured\u201d, or \u201ctry to use more logic\u201d, or \u201ctry being more insightful next time\u201d. I loathed those. They didn\u2019t help me at all, and worse, got me super insecure with my performance. Would my interviewer think that as well? I wasn\u2019t sure. And this type of feedback didn\u2019t help me improve either, so it was a lose-lose situation.\nTake \u201ctry being more insightful on your structure\u201d, for instance. What does that even mean? How could I possibly improve that? I mean, if I had more insight I would\u2019ve done it already. Getting that type of feedback would get both my levels of frustration and anxiety skyrocketing.\nI knew good feedback was detailed. I also knew insightful structures were those full of specific details. But it was as hard to get the first as to create the second.\nI didn\u2019t know it back then, but what I needed was a simple test. A test that allowed me to know if my structure was insightful enough regardless of how thoughtful the feedback I got from my case partner was.\nSo you don\u2019t have to figure it all out by yourself, I\u2019ve done the heavy-lifting for you. I\u2019ve created a test for you to know how insightful your structure is. Using the Toothbrush Test, you\u2019ll take less than a minute to know that and how to take them to the next level.\nThe problem with structures that lack insight is that they\u2019re too generic. The Toothbrush Test is a quick measure of how much more specificity you need to put into it.\nMost structures err on the side of either not being MECE or not being insightful enough. Those are the two most common mistakes. And although most people understand there are techniques you can use to ensure your structure is MECE, few candidates are aware you can be systematic about being insightful as well.\nThere is both \u201cart\u201d and \u201cscience\u201d to that. The \u201cart\u201d part is the unique ideas and hypotheses you can generate throughout the case that other candidates can\u2019t. This is tough to develop and come from both work and case experience. But the \u201cscience\u201d part is as important and much simpler: to have case-specificity built into your structure. Generic structures are NEVER insightful, so your first step towards business insight is to have as many specific (i.e. non-generic) issues in your structure as possible.\nBut to do it you first need to understand how much of your structure is specific in the first place. The key to that is what we call \u201cThe Toothbrush Test\u201d.\nThe test itself is pretty simple: count how many issues (or \u201cbullet points\u201d) are there in your structure and see how many of them could be used to solve a case in another industry, for instance, a case in the toothbrush industry. Your \u201cToothbrush Test Score\u201d (TTS) is the % of issues you\u2019ve raised that are specific to your case and wouldn\u2019t function if the case were about selling toothbrushes. The higher the number of specific issues you have, the higher the chances you\u2019re bringing a fair amount of insight in your case.\nIt\u2019s a simple test, and this is why it\u2019s so effective.\nLet me show you how structures with different TTS are different. I\u2019ll start with a structure with an obscenely low score.\nThis is a typical structure that would get a feedback of \u201cnot insightful\u201d or \u201clacks business sense\u201d in a case interview with a top consulting firm. This candidate WILL be rejected even if he could solve the case. Why? Because you can \u201csolve\u201d any case with it, but not solve any case well with it.\nThe problem of this structure has more to do with the individual issues than with the categories. Although both are very generic, you can get away with using generic categories, but the issues have to be specific no matter what.\nExcept for one issue (of 13), all others would help you solve a case on a toothbrush manufacturer entering the african market. Or a case about a car manufacturer entering Africa. Or a case about an airline entering the asian market. It doesn\u2019t matter. This structure is so generic that if I hide the case question and switch the word \u201cinsurance\u201d, you will have NO WAY to tell what topic this case is about.\nConsider what I just said for a second. YOU HAVE NO WAY OF TELLING IF THE CASE IS ABOUT INSURANCE OR TOOTHBRUSHES. Those are two completely different industries and you still have no large differences between both structures. That\u2019s incredible, to say the least. Especially considering how many candidates use structures like this on interview day.\nWith a less than 10% Toothbrush Test Score, you have no chances of surviving a consulting interview. You\u2019ll get rejected no matter what you do next.\nLet\u2019s move on to an example of a structure with a better score to see how good it is and what are the implications.\nThis is a good structure, with an adequate volume of insight. Generally, a TTS of about 40% is enough to show the interviewer you are thinking about this specific case and not blindly using a generic framework memorized from somewhere.\nYou\u2019re gonna notice this structure for the private jet case is much more specific than the one for the insurance case. And the reason it is specific is that some of the issues are specific enough that they could be used in this case, but not in others. These are the issues that get a YES on the Toothbrush Test. Because they\u2019re roughly 40% of the issues, I gave this structure an approximate score of 40%.\nA couple of the issues got a \u201cMEH\u201d, which means they\u2019re almost there. They couldn\u2019t be used for a case in the toothbrush industry specifically, but they could be used for plenty of other cases in other situations related to airlines or the maintenance service industry. I didn\u2019t count these as a YES, but they do make the structure a little better.\nThe takeaway here is that to have a structure that is specific enough to a case, you don\u2019t need to have a custom-tailored framework, but to have some custom-tailored issues within a fairly generic framework.\nTo get you the clearest picture possible, let me go through each of the issues that have passed the test so you can see why they have:\nWhat are the shares of each market segment? (urgent vs. preventive, by type of job, by type of aircraft): Shares of each market segment is pretty generic, but what\u2019s inside the parenthesis (which is something you would have said out loud during the interview, as examples) is specific to this case and shows insight to the interviewer \u2013 it shows you\u2019re thinking about this specific problem.\nWhat are the largest contracts our competitors have with major airlines and what are their terms and conditions?: When you say this you imply to your interviewer that (a) maintenance is sold via contracts, and (b) that their terms and conditions (length, for instance) could make your entry more difficult. These factors don\u2019t apply to toothbrush selling but are highly relevant to aircraft maintenance services.\nWhat are the barriers to entry in this market? (e.g. getting contracts with major airlines, regulatory permits, being present in several airports): Much like issue number 1, the \u201cbarriers to entry\u201d part is pretty generic, but the examples given are specific and to the point.\nDo we have the expertise and the licenses to do airliner maintenance?: Maintaining aircraft requires both specific engineering expertise and hard-to-get licenses from regulators. Making toothbrushes is a much simpler endeavor (although you could talk about engineering expertise for brushes, licenses aren\u2019t as relevant).\nCan we adapt our operations to our customer\u2019s schedules?: Every airline\u2019s nightmare is to have their aircrafts grounded. Poor maintenance scheduling does just that. By raising this issue you imply this understanding, which is pretty specific to this industry.\nAll of these issues are giving specific examples of how generic things would play out in this industry or implying an understanding of how this industry works. These are a couple of practical ways to make your issues case-specific.\nTwo of the issues were just a bit short of making the cut (I called them \u201cMEH\u201d). Let\u2019s take a look at why they were better than generic, and yet didn\u2019t pass the test:\nHow do they contract this service and what drives their loyalty?: This issue is much better than a generic one for two reasons. First, it shows understanding that this service is contracted out, not bought as a one-off (as toothbrushes are). Second, it implies loyalty is important to this specific industry. So far so good, but the problem is that plenty of industries work on a contract basis and depend on customer loyalty. This specific issue wouldn\u2019t work in a toothbrush case, but it would in several other cases.\nHow can we have bargaining power over leader airlines?: Much is implied here, which is good; but little is explicit, which is bad. This issue could be highly relevant for this case because the airline industry is concentrated, so it is possible big players provide little profitability. Again, this issue is specific enough that it wouldn\u2019t work for a case on toothbrushes but generic enough that it would work for plenty of cases.\nYou want to get as specific as possible with as many issues as possible within your structures.\nAs a rule of thumb, a 40% TTS is enough to show your interviewer that you\u2019re thinking about this specific case and that you can find key issues within an industry that aren\u2019t obvious. (Obvious = key issues that are key to any industry).\nBut what if you aimed higher? What if your structure had an even higher TTS?\nLet me show you one of those.\nThis is a structure with a ~90% TTS.\nI have added one complication to show a nuance of the Toothbrush Test: I did a case on hair care. Because selling shampoo isn\u2019t very different from selling toothbrushes, some of the issues here could be applied to a case on a high-end toothbrush brand trying to enter the Asian market (the 4th bullet point within Customers is an example of that). Even then, the issue still passes the Toothbrush Test, because it wouldn\u2019t fit well in a case on the Airline industry, or a case on the Mining industry, or a case on the Call Center industry.\nWhat the Toothbrush Test tries to do is to understand how many of the issues are specific to the case. There\u2019s no need to get toothbrush fixation.\nI notice three interesting things about this 90% TTS structure.\nThe first is that it\u2019s obvious to anyone that this candidate has deeply thought about the problem before presenting the structure. It mentions so many things specific to selling high-end shampoo in Asia that this person couldn\u2019t possibly have memorized this or be using stuff they saw in a \u201csimilar\u201d case. The structure talks about showers, hair genetics, retailer shelf space, and how affluent Asians look at beauty. Once you start having issues like these in your structures you\u2019ll immediately erase any doubts from your interviewer\u2019s mind that you\u2019re an independent thinker.\nThe second interesting thing is that the issues are longer. Each bullet point has more words within it. This is logical: more specificity requires more words. But you can\u2019t write that much without wasting a lot of time, can you? Well, you don\u2019t need to. In a real case interview, you can simply jot down a few words for each issue on paper, and be specific when you speak. This means you\u2019ll be talking through each issue meticulously and your written structure will be shorter \u2013 jotted down words to remind you about the topics at a glance.\nThe third thing I wanna point out is that the broad categories are not customized at all. Even though this framework scores 90% of the Toothbrush Test Score, it uses the classic 3C1P framework. I did this on purpose to show that (i) the Test just considers the specificity of the issues, and (ii) you can create pretty good structures using pretty generic frameworks.\nThis third point also shows an opportunity for you to improve your structures through other means besides making the issues more specific. If your TTS is constantly around 60%, it may be wiser to try to improve your structuring ability through other means besides pushing this score to even higher levels. As we\u2019ve seen, 40% is enough in most cases, so the difference between a 50-60% and a 90% structure is marginal.\nNow that you understand the metric, your next step is to find your average TTS.\nAll this stuff ain\u2019t useful until it\u2019s useful, right?\nIf you found this concept useful, you might be asking yourself \u201chow the hell do I apply this in practice?\u201d\nI have a suggestion that will take you 5-10 minutes and help you determine your next steps in your preparation journey: grab whatever notebook you use to practice your cases and take a look at the last 5 cases you\u2019ve solved. Do more if you feel inspired, but 5 is enough. For each framework/structure you created to start the case, try to find its approximate TTS. You can do the same as I did with the structures in this post (give each issue a YES, MEH or NO, and do the percentage of YES/TOTAL).\nIf in doubt if an issue is specific enough or not, it probably does not pass the test.\nBy doing this exercise, you\u2019ll find yourself in one of four scenarios, which I\u2019ve described in the table below.\nWould be glad to hear from you in the comments below. What is your average TTS? What steps will you take to improve it? How will it help your interview performance?\nHi! Great article!\nI guess that in order to make a good structure, one must know about various industries.\nMy fear is that by making a structure that is too specific I end up forgeting something important.\nThanks for the information! I\u2019ll definetely apply in my next (and past) cases.\nSome amount of industry background knowledge certainly helps. Taking it to the extreme, if we tried to teach case interviews or business problem solving in general to a person who was born and raised isolated from modern society we\u2019d have a really hard time, even if their logic was good.\nHowever, you don\u2019t have to have specific knowledge on the case\u2019s industry to do well. For example, say you\u2019ve got a case on the cruise ship industry and you know nothing about it. You could think of the cruise ship industry as a mix of the Hotel and the Shipping (cargo) industry. If you know little about the cargo shipping industry, you can make parallels to the trucking industry (or any other cargo transportation, for that matter). Making these kinds of analogies is one way to \u201cborrow\u201d specific industry insight from other industries you know better (consultants use this often on the job and you can use in your interviews).\nRegarding your fear of forgetting something important by making your structure too specific, I totally get it. I had that fear as well. What made me get over it was to realize that to make an issue specific is to merely phrase it differently. So, for example, the generic issue \u201cwhat\u2019s our market share by type of product\u201d becomes \u201cwhat is our market share by cabin type and touristic route\u201d in the cruise ship industry. Could you forget an important way to segment their type of products? Yes, but then the interviewer will see you did the work and ask you what other ways are there to segment the analysis. It is much better than to be evasive and ask a generic question that could be asked for a toothbrush manufacturer or a steel mill.\nYou can use the generic framework as a \u201cchecklist\u201d to make sure you\u2019re not forgetting anything important, but never in a copy-paste manner.",

Drivers paying cash will see the fee jump to $12 from $8.\nCommuters on PATH trains will see one-way fares rise to $2 in September from the current $1.75, followed by additional 25-cent increases annually. The tolls apply to the George Washington Bridge, the Lincoln and Holland tunnels and three bridges connecting New Jersey to Staten Island.\nThe additional money will fund the agency's ten-year, $25.1-billion capital program and help pay for rebuilding the World Trade Center. The fare increases are smaller than the $6 increase over four years that the authority proposed Aug. 5.\n\u201cToll and fare increases are essential if the Port Authority is to have the financial capabilities necessary to drive this region forward,\u201d chief financial officer Michael Fabiano told board members prior to the vote.\nChristie, a Republican, and Cuomo, a Democrat, said the agency's original plan was unacceptable. They proposed the smaller fare increases last night.\n\u201cIt's a significant, but much more moderate, toll increase and it will allow people to plan for it over a period of time,\u201d Mr. Christie said today in Franklin Township.\nMr. Christie denied that he and Mr. Cuomo colluded with agency officials or orchestrated a plan to have the authority propose larger tolls in order to secure political points by scaling back the plan. He called that assertion by critics a \u201cconspiracy theory.\u201d\nThe Port Authority also agreed to the governors' call for an audit of its finances and to find cost reductions and increased efficiencies. New York Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli criticized the Port Authority's spending on overtime earlier this week.\nThe agency doesn't receive tax revenue and relies mostly on tolls and transit fares. Its $7.2-billion budget for 2011 holds operating expenses flat and contains $3.9 billion in capital spending.\nThe recession that ended in June 2009 drove the agency to lose $2.6 billion in net revenue since projections were last set for the 10-year capital plan in 2007, Mr. Fabiano said.\nUnder the plan, tolls on crossings would rise 75 cents each December from 2012 to 2015. The toll is collected only for travel into New York.\n\u201cThe bridges would eventually fall down\u201d without increasing revenue available for maintenance, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said on WOR radio. \u201cThey have no choice. They have to act responsibly. They have to get more revenue.\u201d\nThe toll increase \u201cdoesn't help commerce,\u201d the mayor added, \u201cbut the alternative is much worse.\u201d\nProsecutors move to drop charges against DSK\nState's top judges finally get a raise",

        "raw_content": "Spring has sprung, and God is as faithful as He was yesterday.\nWe started the season with a trip to St Ninian\u2019s for the second time this year. We played our Rock of Ages album there in January, and had such a great visit that we booked a second visit soon after. And as usual, we followed up by playing Walking With the King, and sharing the stories and Scriptures behind the songs.\nWe were greeted with great enthusiasm by our friend Zoe, who, during our last visit, drew a fantastic picture of us playing Rock of Ages. And she was just as friendly this time around \u2013 we were given another welcome drawing, and coffee with rusks and biscuits. Here we are with Zoe at the front of the church before the service.\nNow, St Ninians isn\u2019t a big congregation. I would say there were 25-35 people in the church. But when we sang Soldiers, they belted it with the best of them! It\u2019s always a great encouragement to be in churches that sing like they mean it. And they meant it!\nWe\u2019ve played these songs many times over the past 3 years, and each time, something different comes out. It could depend on the congregation, or even on our mood, but somehow the songs stay fresh because we sing them in different settings. And during this service, as we closed out with Walking With the King, the lyrics just got me. This is probably largely due to the fact that I finished up a Bible study/small group discussion on the song during the week (get it here!), but whatever the reason, the line \u201ceven if my life falls apart, I\u2019ll be seeking Him with all of my heart\u201d just up and whacked me. It\u2019s so easy to sing that line from my cozy spot up front. But if I lost my job, as one of the St Ninians congregation members did, who we prayed for during the service? If I lost my home, like so many people in Houston have with these recent floods? If I lost my wife or my family? Would I still be seeking Him with all of my heart? Challenging stuff.\nAfter the service (and a good cup of tea) as we were packing up, Nic, Gareth and I were discussing how the stories behind the songs make the songs that much more effective. Once you know the context in which the song was written, the words begin to omega to life in a new way. And this is why I am putting together the group discussions for our songs \u2013 I know that when you go deeper down into a song, you can find so much more than you ever would have believed was there in the first place.\nPretoria Wesleyan\nOn the 10th we headed off to Pretoria Wesleyan church for the first time. We\u2019ve hardly played in Pretoria, and so this was a great treat for us, to share our songs with a new community.\nWe\u2019re from Boksburg, so we had to be up and ready at the crack of dawn for the 64km drive! We made our usual stop for coffee, and then off we went. Despite a detour off the R21 because of roadworks, we made good time, and soon we were all set up and ready to play.\nIt had been a while since we\u2019d played these songs \u2013 we\u2019ve mostly been doing Walking With the King lately, which is what we do when we visit a church a second time. First time round we sing songs from Rock of Ages revisited, our first album, and I share the story behind \u201cNever Again\u201d. And so we revised the old songs at our Tuesday night practice, and I have to tell you, it sounded awful. Maybe we were just tired and out of practice, but I went to bed quite worried that we were losing our touch!\nBut all faith was restored on Sunday, when we just gelled again and played the songs like we wanted. \u201cRock of Ages\u201d was typically exciting, as people heard the great old hymn with a new arrangement for the first time. We sang Don Moen\u2019s \u201cGod is Good\u201d, which always gets people clapping and worshiping! Then we sang \u201cI Will Sing\u201d, an old song of ours which we\u2019ve given a bit of a rock flavour these days. Easy song to sing, and the congregation picked up on it quickly and seemed to really enjoy it.\nNext we played our items. The usual fun ensued with \u201cSinner\u2019s Blues\u201d, and then \u201cA Picture of Your Love\u201d and \u201cCome Unto Me\u201d were both moving. Those two songs seem to really speak to people. I still remember, shortly after we released Rock of Ages the first time, I made a quick lyric video for \u201cA Picture of Your Love\u201d, and a group of believers in Singapore somehow saw it and were really touched by it, and they got in touch to say thank you for the song. These are special moments!\nAfter singing \u201cNever Again\u201d I then told the story behind it. I\u2019ve done this talk many times, and each time it comes out differently \u2013 sometimes things get left out, sometimes new things come to me. It\u2019s always refreshing, and often it\u2019s a message I need to hear again. This time a particular line stuck out \u2013 right at the end of the song, the line \u201cYou love me, more than I can understand, more than I can ever see\u201d. Pastor Cheryl spoke afterwards of how she just can\u2019t fathom why God would love us, as she looks around at the state of the world. But He does, and the more we try to fathom it and figure it out, the less we understand!\nWe finished with \u201cHow Great Thou Art\u201d, and then soon we were off to the East Rand again, satisfied in God\u2019s glory. What a privilege to share these songs and see how He works in them.\nRandpark Ridge United\nOn the 17th we headed out to Randpark Ridge United to lead the two morning services. It had been almost a year and a half since our first visit, and we were so looking forward to seeing some friendly faces and sharing our Walking With the King songs.\nAs usual, we played a shortened version of the set for the early service, and then the whole album at the 09:30. As I said earlier, each time we play these songs something different comes out, and in this case, the words of the song \u201cEverything About You\u201d seemed to jump out at me: \u201cWhen I think of all the wondrous things you\u2019ve done, I can only stand in awe of the Almighty One\u2026 I will raise my hands and praise Your holy name, because You set me free and I will never be the same\u201d. Simple words, and words that I honestly find myself skipping over often when we sing it. And man, that is sad\u2026 Why do we so quickly grow numb to words that proclaim God\u2019s glory? We can only stand in awe when we reflect on what God has done, and how He has set us free. And that is why we write these songs and sing them time and time again \u2013 we need to constantly remind ourselves, and refocus on Him in many ways.\nI also found that the words in \u201cEven So\u201d hit home. Usually my mind tends to drift as I get ready for my very weak harmonica part \u2013 I\u2019m no harmonica player, and so I often find myself panicking slightly as it approaches! But this time the words \u201ceven so, even so, you have loved me even so, when I fell down at the cross, You washed me clean from head to toe\u201d were just what I needed to hear.\nWe shared a prayer afterward just thanking God for the opportunity to sing these songs, and asking that the people would leave with a sense of His presence, His greatness and His love \u2013 rather than just having enjoyed some music. And that is what it\u2019s all about for us \u2013 making excellent music to the glory of God, yes \u2013 and in that, pointing people to Him and not us.\nSlowly but surely our new album There\u2019s a Light is coming together. God-willing we will be finished in January, and then we\u2019ll spend Sundays in 2018 and 2019 going from church to church with the new songs. Great excitement!\nWe have a lot on the go in the next while, we hope to see you at one of these events:\n24 Sept: Emseni Methodist 07:30 (Luke solo)\n30 Sept: Nigel Methodist fete 09:00 \u2013 12:00\n1 Oct: Boksburg North Methodist 09:00\n7 Oct: Glory Festival, Heidelberg 14:00\n21 Oct: Bikers Church Midrand, worship 16:00\n22 Oct: Primrose Methodist, 08:00 and 09:30\nGod bless, and keep walking with the King!",

        "raw_content": "EU's outreach to 'pariah' states\nJan. 9 reports of missile parts bound for Tripoli throw doubt on\nThis week's allegation that Libya tried to smuggle Scud missile parts has thrown more fuel on the fire of controversy surrounding Europe's gradual rapprochement with the North African rogue state.\nBut at the very least, the news seems likely to dash the hopes harbored by Romano Prodi, president of the European Commission, of inviting Libyan leader Col. Muammar Qaddafi to Brussels in the near future.\nAnd as that idea goes up in smoke, the European Union's bid to bring Libya into the international fold - despite deep US reservations - also has suffered a setback, diplomatic observers say.\nMr. Prodi, however, remains unrepentant. \"This does not change the logic behind the invitation,\" says his spokesman, Peter Guildford. \"You don't freeze him [Mr. Qaddafi] out, you nudge him along.\"\nThat, indeed, sums up European thinking about relations with \"pariah\" states in general. Moving further and faster than Washington, the Italian, French, and other European governments have been building closer ties with Iran and North Korea in recent months, prompted by both economic and political considerations.\nProdi's suggestion that Qaddafi might visit EU headquarters, mooted during a Christmas phone call from the Libyan leader, has sparked consternation in some European capitals. Aside from doubts about the political wisdom of such a trip, diplomats complained that Prodi had made the invitation without consulting either Chris Patten, the European Commissioner in charge of foreign relations, or Javier Solana, the EU's new security and defense chief. \"This is an interesting illustration of how EU foreign policy is coming out of the chute,\" says one diplomat in Brussels. \"It's very personal.\"\nThe invitation, says Portuguese Foreign Minister Jaime Gama, \"reflects above all Italy's particular sensitivity towards Libya.\" Prodi is a former Italian prime minister, and Italy is Libya's former colonial ruler.\nItaly has certainly blazed the diplomatic trail. Last month, Italian Premier Massimo D'Alema became the first Western leader to visit Tripoli since 1988, when suspected Libyan agents blew up Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, killing 270 people.\nItaly is Libya's largest trading partner, taking 43 percent of its exports, mainly oil and gas, and Rome clearly has economic interests in opening the African country up to investment. But Italians see their role in a wider context.\nLast week, Italy became the first Group of Seven member to open diplomatic relations with North Korea. Last year, Italy was the first Western country to host an Iranian leader, President Mohamad Khatami, since the 1979 revolution.\nThis reflects a traditional Italian desire to strengthen ties with North African and Middle Eastern countries that are geographically close and could become markets for Italian exports, says Sergio Romano, a former Italian ambassador to the Soviet Union. \"There is really nothing new,\" he says, but \"this is really European. There is a marked distinction between the way Europeans deal with that part of the world and the way the Americans would like them to deal with it.\"\nItalian diplomats stress their goal is to encourage change in once-hostile countries. \"We believe Khatami's government must be supported because it represents a turning point from the past,\" says a spokesman for the Italian Foreign Ministry.\nLikewise, during his visit to Tripoli, D'Alema secured from Qaddafi a pledge to \"deny sustenance and protection to those responsible for terrorist acts.\"\nThat approach runs parallel to the thinking in Brussels about Libya, since Qaddafi last year surrendered the two suspects in the Lockerbie bombing to stand trial in the Netherlands, and paid $33 million in compensation to the relatives of victims of another bomb that blew up a French airliner in 1989.\nIn response, the United Nations lifted sanctions against Libya that had been in place since 1992, and the EU suspended its sanctions last September. \"The whole thing is a process of small nudges, and [Qaddafi's] visit could be another nudge,\" says Mr. Guildford, the EU spokesman.\nThe EU's goal is to get Libya to join the Euro-Mediterranean Forum, a 27- member group that links the EU with Southern and Eastern Mediterranean countries. Members must commit themselves to democracy, human rights, and free trade, among other things. EU officials suggest that signing onto such principles, first set out at a meeting in Barcelona, Spain, might be the price Brussels would demand from Libya in return for an invitation to Qaddafi.\nLibya wrote to the EU last week, accepting the \"Barcelona process,\" but refused to join the forum unless Israel and the Palestinian Authority were excluded from it. This was \"unacceptable,\" Guildford says.\nWashington remains skeptical about Europe's approach. \"The Libyans have to do more,\" says one US official. \"The Barcelona principles are well over the horizon for the Libyans, and we are not even talking about dtente.\"\nThe EU, however, remains hopeful.\n\"Libya is on parole,\" says Guildford, \"but there's nothing wrong with trying to entice a country in from the cold. A visit by Qaddafi would be a politically symbolic act, which we hope would further encourage him to go the whole way to do what is necessary to restore normal relations.\"\n* Richard Wentworth, in Rome, contributed to this report.\nBackchannels How the fall of Qaddafi gave rise to Europe's migrant crisis\nMigrant crisis: In divided Libya, few resources to stem the flow\nClose to 200 migrants feared dead off Libyan coast\nBy Hani Amara Reuters",

        "title": "Insider trading bill: A model to end gridlock on Congress? - CSMonitor.com",
        "raw_content": "The Senate passed jobs and insider-trading bills Thursday, hailing a moment of bipartisanship. But times when members of Congress get along are rare \u2013 and that isn't expected to change.\nSen. Joe Lieberman (I.) of Connecticut discusses his Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act, or STOCK Act, during a news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington earlier this year.\nAfter months of gridlock, the Senate on Thursday passed two measures to ban insider trading on Capitol Hill and help small businesses raise capital.\nThe Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act heads to President Obama\u2019s desk, while the Jumpstart our Business Startups (JOBS) Act is slated for a conference committee to resolve differences between the House and Senate over investor protections, especially involving fundraising over the Internet.\nThe message that lawmakers hope that the public takes away from the Senate vote comes down to this: Congress can work. Even amid stark partisan divisions, bills with bipartisan support can rocket through Congress, if members conclude that notching minor legislative achievements for both sides outweighs heading into an election season where voters, enraged by gridlock, throw all the bums out.\n\u201cBipartisanship often survives not because people are feeling good or feeling civil, but because it\u2019s in the interest of both parties to play ball at something,\u201d says Julian Zelizer, a congressional historian at Princeton University in New Jersey.\n\u201cIn both cases, [the bills passed Thursday] are not items that are so high visibility that they\u2019ll cause that much discussion. Both those measures are important, but it wasn\u2019t like health care. And so it\u2019s something, ironically, the parties can agree on and not anger everyone in their base.\u201d\nThe STOCK Act, which had languished for more than half a decade, was propelled into the national conversation by a scorching report on CBS\u2019s \"60 Minutes\u201d last November. The bill bars members of Congress and staff from trading stocks based on nonpublic information obtained in their work. The House version of the bill passed by unanimous consent, after clearing a key procedural vote, 93 to 3.\n\u201cHere\u2019s a case where a problem was identified that cut directly to the public\u2019s faith in their elected representatives,\u201d said Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I) of Connecticut, who introduced the bill, in comments to reporters after the vote. \u201cWe dealt with it quickly and on a bipartisan basis in both houses of Congress. Hopefully, this will be a model for other critical legislation.\u201d\nThe stakes for the pending \u201ccritical legislation\u201d before Senator Lieberman's Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee \u00ad\u00ad\u2013 cybersecurity and reforming the US Postal Service \u2013 however, involve far higher stakes than clamping down on members\u2019 brokerage accounts.\n\u201cThe amount of trading that\u2019s going on in Congress, even if we assume a worst-case scenario, is much too small to move the market,\u201d said Rich Smith, a senior analyst at The Motley Fool, an investing website popular with hobbyist investors that has backed the STOCK Act. \u201cBut it looks bad. It destroys people\u2019s faith in the market being a level playing field.\u201d\nThe JOBS bill, on the other hand, with its PR-savvy name and wider-reaching aims, will have more of an impact on the public. The bill unites proposals allowing small businesses to raise money from small investors (known as crowdfunding), relaxing regulation for firms entering the public market, and allowing small firms to solicit investments via advertisements. It passed on a big, bipartisan vote, 73 to 26.\nNick Bhargava, a co-founder of crowdfunding website Motaavi, says that by stitching the bill's various proposals together, Congress may have established a new pathway for businesses to move from innovative idea to a place on the New York Stock Exchange.\n\u201cWhen you look at [elements of the JOBS Act] as a package, they all fit nicely together,\u201d Mr. Bhargava says. \u201cIf you do this together, we think the long-term effects can be pretty significant, and you have a well-defined legal framework for the next great American company.\u201d\nStill, as many of the 26 Democrats who voted against the JOBS legislation pointed out, the bill has rather modest potential in the near term.\n\u201cThe supporters of this bill claim it will help create jobs. They have even titled it the JOBS Act. But there is no evidence it will help create new jobs,\u201d said Sen. Carl Levin (D) of Michigan on the Senate floor on Thursday. \u201cThere is not one study that its proponents have shown us how repealing provisions that protect us from egregious conflicts of interest ... will create jobs.\u201d\nJohn Engler, president of the Business Roundtable, told reporters at a breakfast sponsored by The Christian Science Monitor on Thursday that while the JOBS measure is important, \u201cI would say just keep on going.\"\nTale of two jobs bills: a parable of gridlock in Congress\nWhy Congress is warming up to ban on insider trading",

        "raw_content": "Bourgeois Pretensions, or Biscuits and Gravy\nMay 01, 2013 by timothybraun\tin CultureBytes\nTimothy Braun, Editor-In-Chief of New and Social Media for The Fusebox Festival, reporting from Austin, TX.\nThree days before he arrived in Austin, I sent Mac Wellman an email. I wondered if he remembered me. I met Wellman in the summer on 1998 in Northern Ireland. He was the playwriting instructor in a fellowship program I was attending that jammed together a collection of college-aged students from across the States, England, Ireland, and Germany. There, Wellman showed me his ideas on bad theatre, how to salvage a corked bottle of wine, and the importance of find the right collaborator. Wellman emphasized I could work as hard as I wanted on a play, but I needed to find the right collaborators for my plays to work the way I wanted. That summer he introduced to director David Levine. We worked on an adaptation of \u201cAlice In Wonderland\u201d set at the Oklahoma City bombing.\u201d I\u2019ve collaborated with Levine a few times since, but he lives in Berlin now and we just don\u2019t get see each other anymore. However, he is still the first person I think of when I finish a play.\nWellman came to Austin for the 9th annual Fusebox Festival. He brought \u201cMuazzez\u201d a play derived from a collection of short stories entitled \u201cA Chronicle Of The Madness Of Small Worlds.\u201d All of the stories in the book take place on various asteroids, and Muazzez is an asteroid that is home to an abandoned cigar factory. This cigar factory is in an existential crisis, this \u201ctwelve acres of crumbling brick and mortar\u201d has always assumed he is human, or at least humanoid, but now isn\u2019t certain. He has dug too deep, and \u201cwhat I had taken for bedrock now seemed sand.\u201d By the way, I\u2019m not missing a word in there. That is the actual line, and in the hands of the wrong collaborator I can see how it would sound like a mistake, but it didn\u2019t.\n\u201cMuazzez\u201d features Steve Mellor, Wellman\u2019s longtime collaborator, as the concerned cigar factory, sitting at a table, drinking water, simply talking with the audience. Wellman\u2019s work is unique and precise in language, more than other writers I\u2019ve come across, and his work goes in two different directions; either extremely good, or extremely odd, depending on the production. The result of Mellor on the asteroid is an intimate story, a good collaboration between a writer, an actor, and their audience.\nWhen Wellman and Mellor came to Austin, Fusebox Artistic Director Ron Berry, TCG\u2019s Eliza Bent (a current student of Wellman\u2019s), and I had lunch for what we thought was going to be an interview about the piece, but over mushroom sandwiches, bloody marys, and biscuits and gravy the afternoon quickly dissipated into watching two friends, two long time collaborators, tell stories of their adventures in the theater world. Wellman started with talking about BACA, the short lived but legendary Brooklyn site known for producing three of Erik Ehn\u2019s Saint Plays, and how there just aren\u2019t many places like BACA anymore, but the afternoon was mostly spent with Mellor telling stories of their adventures in London and Italy where \u201cTerminally Hip\u201d did well, and musing over a New York City that has changed over the years. Things are much more expensive now. It is harder to produce work in the Big Apple. My favorite story involved a site-specific piece in Central Park in which a passer-by yelped \u201cBourgeois Pretensions\u201d at their show as Jeff Jones of The Little Theater barked on a blow horn. I hope I\u2019m getting this story right. I was laughing rather hard.\nAs the lunch went on I began to think that collaboration for these two is less a way of looking at work, and more a way of looking at life and all the adventures they\u2019ve had, a way of looking at \u201cthings\u201d. Collaborating on work is a lens through which we see ourselves, our own places together, and our own time together. I wonder if Wellman and Mellor see themselves in each other, in the words the write and speak. As the lunch ended I stopped worrying if Wellman remembered me, and I thought about texting Levine. I have an idea for an adaptation of \u201cThe Cherry Orchard\u201d with robots and toasters. It would work well in Berlin, and I wanted to tell my old friend watching Wellman and Mellor musing over bourgeois pretension was as nice a combination as biscuits and gravy.\nThis performance was part of Fusebox\u2019s 2013 Featured Projects series.\nTagged with: #Muazzez, #Steve Mellor, David Levine, Eliza Bent, Fusebox Festival, mac wellman, Timothy Braun\nAbout the author timothybraun\nOne thought on \u201cBourgeois Pretensions, or Biscuits and Gravy\u201d\nCan I guess that the \u201cBourgeois Pretensions\u201d show was Bad Penny? 1989? Oh, if only things here were still as cheap as they were back then.",

        "raw_content": "How can I tell she is also interested on me?\nMoltoxcat\nHi, everyone, thank you for spending your time to help me.\nI am 29 years old guy and trying to date a girl in my lab (she is 26). We got into the lab in the same year and I had a crush on her on the first day. But I know she has a boyfriend and feel it\u2019s not correct to interrupt their relationship. Recently, I hear that she breaks up with that guy and looks for a new one. So I invited her to watch a movie with me last weekend. We have a dinner together and I feel the aura is still good. She knows I like collecting vinyl records and tells me that she will go to the record store with me next time and buy a record for me as a return. Due to the cultural differences (I am Chinese from China and she is American Hispanic) and my pathetic limited dating experience, (Yes, I spent most of my time in study), I don\u2019t know how to tell whether she is also interested on me or not. Also, I am really afraid of losing her. So what should I do in the next step?\nAh,Character limitation\u2026\nhello! My first suggestion is to just take a breathe and relax a bit. You are afraid of losing something you are not even sure you have yet. Fear can mess all kinds of things up. So the first thing I usually help people with when they are dating, is how to deal with loss. If you have a really good handle on being okay to be rejected, the fear of rejection won\u2019t control you. When fear is present in a situation, it\u2019s very hard to see everything clearly. For example, this fear of losing her is clouding your mind from the truth that you hardly know her. You have been on 1 date. It takes a lot longer than that to get to know someone, the good and the not so good side of them, to really make sure they match you well. So first and foremost, don\u2019t be willing to hand over your heart to her without knowing that she can even take care of it very well! Although you do not have a ton of experience dating, this is how it happens. You just walk through each experience NOT ATTACHED to the\nend result, but truly just enjoying and learning during the process of it. I get that you like her AND she is not better than you. You are acting like you would be sooooo lucky if she chose you and that\u2019s it. Well\u2026..where are you thinking the other half of that??? that she would be sooooooo lucky if you chose her??? Do not put her on a pedestal. She is just as human as the rest of us, with all kinds of lame as things going on in her mind. So stop worrying about if you will lose her or if she even likes you. Just be you\u2026time spent together will reveal all the answers you need. The point is to just have fun the process and learn! Let go of the stress about all of it and realize these are great moments to learn about yourself, what works and what doesn\u2019t work, what you like and don\u2019t like and facing all the fears that come up. She, as well as most women, will appreciate that much more! You will come across as much more confident!!!! Good luck!\nrimiahuja\nI would like to say talk straight to her.\nhmrwilliams\nI would suggest not coming on too strong, but you definitely want to talk to her. If you beat around the bush too much she may get the idea that YOU aren\u2019t into HER. This may lead her to getting another boyfriend which would be horrible for you. Don\u2019t panic and let her know that you care for her. Good luck!\nPress on brother. It might be too early to tell but if you hesitate you could very well end up losing her. Carpe Diem!\nKepep your head up my man\nThanks all my friends. Yours suggestions are really helpful.\nI plan to slow down the pace a little bit. But I will find a proper time to let her know my feeling for her.\nAppreciate it again \ud83d\ude42\nsierrapii\nTalk to her more! Don\u2019t be afraid to make it clear that you\u2019re interested in her, if you\u2019re upfront and she seems to like you, there\u2019s no way she would say no. Make sure you are clear with your intentions that you want to be more than friends though, or she may get the wrong impression.",

        "title": "Natural born KILLERS - how natural killer cell therapy will transform immunotherapy",
        "raw_content": "Treating Cancer - How Natural Killer Cell Therapy (NK Cell Therapy) Will Transform Immunotherapy\nBy Dr Azusa Tanaka and Dr Michael Seiler\nRegulatory approval of CAR-T cell therapies in 2017 placed the spotlight on immunotherapy approaches that use live cells to attack tumours \u2013 a major shift in oncology treatment and the battle against cancer.\nYet even this groundbreaking therapy has limitations, such as when patients already immuno-depressed from a first-line treatment do not have sufficient T-cells to modify or stimulate. For this reason, investigators are looking to natural killer cell therapy (NK cell therapy) as the next frontier of immunotherapy.\nIn the fast-growing field of immunotherapy \u2013 using the power of the patient\u2019s own immune system to fight cancer \u2013 therapies based on the use of T-cells were the first to make major breakthroughs. T-cell-based therapy progressed from popular checkpoint inhibitors such as Keytruda\u00ae and Opdivo\u00ae, to newer approaches that use live cells to attack tumours.\nYet, even these groundbreaking therapies have risks, such as neurotoxicity, as well as limitations, such as when patients already immuno-depressed from a first-line treatment may not have sufficient T-cells to modify or stimulate. For this reason, investigators are looking to harness other immune cells, particularly NK (natural killer) cells, as the next frontier of immunotherapy for the fight against cancer. As the evolution of precision medicine continues, NK cell therapy will play an important role in guiding efficacious treatments.\nTo understand the role of NK cell therapy in advancing immunotherapy, it is useful to reflect on how oncology treatment has evolved and given rise to the current focus on immunotherapy. Historically, drug development took a \u2018one size fits all\u2019 approach, with the medication developed with the average patient in mind. With the availability of genome sequencing of patient and tumour mutations, cancer drug development began to open a new frontier for precision medicine. Now, the medication can take into account the individual differences between patients with regard to biology and tumour mutations.\nThis personalised medicine approach is taking root not only in the for-profit world of pharmaceutical and biotech companies, but also in academia and government agencies. The National Institutes of Health\u2019s All of Us research programme is a prime example; it aims to extend precision medicine to all diseases, a mission it hopes to accomplish by building a research cohort of at least one million Americans. Some governmental agencies are increasing support for the study of personalised oncology therapies through the Orphan Drug Act, which provides incentives to develop treatments for rare diseases, including rare cancers, for example.\nOne of the most powerful examples of precision medicine is immuno-oncology (IO) therapy, which is transforming how cancer is treated. Where traditional cancer treatments worked by directly attacking rapidly-proliferating cancer cells, IO therapy leverages the patient\u2019s own immune response to fight against cancer.\nCheckpoint inhibitors, such as anti-PD-1, PD-L1 and CTLA-4, are among the most well-known immuno-oncology drugs and a real breakthrough in immuno-oncology therapy. Checkpoints are a family of proteins that cancer cells may use to protect themselves from being attacked by immune cells like T-cells. Checkpoint inhibitor therapy is an antibody-based therapy that binds to immune-checkpoint proteins expressed either on a tumour or on T-cells and unlock the cytotoxic T-cells\u2019 ability to kill tumours. By blocking or inhibiting a checkpoint\u2019s \u2018protective\u2019 signals, T-cells are less inhibited to kill cells, including cancer.\nWhile checkpoint inhibitors have been highly successful in some cancer patients, they have proven ineffective in a subset of the patient population, spurring investigators to continue their quest for improved immunotherapies with reduced risks.\nAs T-cell-based therapy continued its evolution, the next wave was development of bi-specific antibody-engagers such as BLINCYTO\u00ae (Blinatumomab) a BiTE\u00ae (bi-specific T-cell engager) therapy from Amgen. One side of this antibody-derived medication binds to T-cells and the other side binds to the protein expressed on a type of cancer derived from B cells. BLINCYTO assists the T cells\u2019 killing capability and brings them closer to the cancer target.\nBoth checkpoint inhibitors and BiTE therapy such as BLINCYTO are antibody-based therapies that leverage and recruit T-cells. In 2017, the US FDA approved an entirely new T-cell therapy approach which instead makes the T-cell itself the drug.\nChimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T-cell therapy, often called \u2018cell and gene therapy\u2019 or a \u2018living drug\u2019, uses T-cells that are genetically modified to express a section of antibody on their surface. Instead of providing T-cells with additional help through an antibody therapy such as a checkpoint inhibitor, the patient\u2019s own T-cells are expanded and genetically modified, making them capable of targeting proteins expressed on the tumour and killing the cancer cells.\nAll three types of immuno-oncology medication utilise one type of immune cell, the T-cell. However, a human immune system consists of a wide range of cells beyond T-cells.\nWhile T-cell mediated immuno-oncology drugs showcased how powerful T-cells can be in the fight against cancer, they also demonstrated the T-cell based medication\u2019s dependent side-effects, such as cytokine storm and neurotoxicity. In addition, potential limitations with T-cell based therapies have raised concerns. For instance, a patient who is already immuno-depressed from a first-line treatment may not have sufficient T-cells to modify or stimulate.\nFor these reasons, investigators are now looking to another type of immune cells, NK cells, for the next breakthrough in immunotherapy. By opening the door to exploring new therapies capable of delivering improved efficacy with reduced risk, NK cell therapy has the potential to transform the burgeoning field of immunotherapy.\nThe advantage of NK cells\nWhile T-cells are considered to be part of the adaptive immune system, NK cells are categorised as a cell within the innate immune system. Similar to cytotoxic T-cells, NK cells have the ability to recognise distressed cells (such as cancer cells) and kill them.\nThis capability has led investigators to explore whether NK cells can be used in immunotherapy much like T-cells are used, but without the side-effects often associated with Tcell- based treatments, such as cytokine storm or GvHD (graft versus host disease).\nIn turn, immuno-oncology researchers are leveraging the knowledge they have obtained from the use of T-cell therapy and applying it to NK cells, with the goal of developing immuno-oncology treatments that are efficacious while avoiding the risks associated with other immunotherapies.\nThree major NK cell therapy approaches have emerged to date: Bispecific antibodies, antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), and cell-and-gene-therapy with NK cells. All are in various stages of investigation and testing.\nBispecific antibodies are being developed to engage NK cells and bring them closer to their cancer targets to cause direct killing. An example of such an approach is the bispecific antibody therapy from Innate Pharma. To activate NK cells to attack a tumour, this therapy uses an antibody to bind to an antigen on the surface of tumour cells on one end, and the NKp46 activating receptor on the surface of NK cells on the other end.\nInduction of antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC)\nInduction of ADCC is another approach to using NK cells for anti-tumour activity. ADCC uses Fc receptors that are expressed on NK cells to find and kill antibody-coated target cells. Affimed is one company investigating this approach for the treatment of Hodgkin\u2019s lymphoma.\nCell and gene therapy with NK cells\nDevelopment of CAR-modified NK cells takes a similar approach as CAR-T therapy \u2013 leveraging the cytotoxic capabilities of NK cells. This approach is being used by Fate Therapeutics, which has entered into a two-year collaboration with the University of California San Diego to develop off-the-shelf CAR-NK cell-based immunotherapies.\nThese three approaches can be utilised alone as a treatment or in combination. For example, Fate Therapeutics is combining cell therapy and antibody-based therapy to induce ADCC. It announced in February 2018 that the first subject had been treated in a study of advanced solid tumour treatment with its FATE-NK100 markedly in combination with a targeted monoclonal antibody therapy.\nFATE-NK100 is an NK cell therapy derived from peripheral blood NK cells expanded ex vivo with interleukin (IL)-15 and a small molecule inhibitor of glycogen synthase A kinase (GSK) 3. Combining FATE-NK100 with monoclonal antibody therapy is designed to enhance ADCC.\nRegardless of the specific mechanism employed, NK cell-based cancer therapies may offer crucial treatment advantages compared to T-cell based therapy, including less concern about the side effects associated with T-cell based treatments.\nFor CAR-based NK cell therapy in particular, there are additional potential advantages. For instance, since human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matching is less of a concern with NK cells as compared to T-cells, allogeneic transplantation (transplantation from a donor that is not genetically identical) may be possible, so that one donor/NK cell line could provide a cure to multiple patients. Therapy production also may be streamlined when therapies do not have to be personalised to each patient, creating cost-efficiencies.\nChanging needs for animal models\nThese rapid advancements in cell therapies indicate that harnessing various parts of the immune system yield potent treatments for common diseases such as cancer. Going forward, immune-oncology researchers will look for systems that accommodate the complete arsenal of the immune system.\nTo do this, better testable in vivo animal models capable of accepting, supporting and sustaining the full repertoire of human immune cell lineages are needed. Critical insights into how the host system can accommodate the unique requirements of cell therapies by providing the most appropriate environment for testing were recently published for multiple immune cell types.\nRecent work by Nilsson et al at the University of Gothenburg demonstrated that transgenic expression of supportive cytokines were key for T-cell survival and effector function in a novel autologous T-cell transfer model with patient matched-melanoma xenografts (1). This work has broad implications because most immune cell lineages source homeostatic and effector signals from their environmental cytokine milieu which may not be supplied by the rodent host system.\nTo best replicate the appropriate treatment environment, animal models must provide the necessary molecular signals intrinsic to the disease micro-environment, and also provide sufficient viability factors to complement the evolutionary requirements for human cell functions working within the context of the rodent host. Understanding which cytokines are sufficient for functions and those that are necessary tonic signals to keep human cells at homeostasis are major parts of reassembling the host micro-environment suitable for efficacy testing.\nWork from the Nilsson lab demonstrated that advanced models for testing T-cell therapies could reveal new insights into how CAR-T and adoptive cell therapies can be tested and leveraged to optimal patient outcomes, but the impact applies to other immune cell types with similar requirements.\nResearchers at the Central Institute for Experimental Animals (CIEA) in Japan have taken this fundamental requirement and extrapolated it to other immune cell types. The CIEA has long been invested in the iterative development of animal models to create an optimal host environment for human cell engraftment.\nThus far, CIEA researchers demonstrated that supportive cytokines expressed endogenously are necessary and sufficient to sustain long-term viability of several important innate and adaptive immune cell lineages, including myeloid suppressor cells (2), B cells (3), dendritic cells (4) and NK cells.\nIn particular, the need for novel systems to exploit NK cell biology has been addressed. Previously, NK cell engraftment into immunedeficient hosts has been limited by poor uptake and short viability, making them particularly difficult to study in vivo.\nKatano et al at the CIEA recently demonstrated that a mouse model expressing the crucial cytokine interleukin 15 (IL-15) can rescue NK cell engraftment and survival sufficient to test applications in oncology (5). Taken together, this research suggests that as new innovative cell therapies are developed, the test systems sufficient to support them must improve in order to complement their unique biological requirements.\nWhether CAR-T, dendritic cell or natural killer cells become the standards for cancer treatment will be critically dependent on whether in vivo test systems fully translate their potential into the human clinical setting. Creative solutions to complement the evolutionary distance between mouse and humans has provided transgenic cytokine-expressing immune-deficient mice. This is good, but the work does not stop there.\nFuture developments are aimed at fully developing the most validated complementary system to replicate the clinical setting. Further work, designed to both engineer a better host and build better cell and tissue humanisation practices, are currently under development.\nWith better elucidation of the basic requirements for human tumour and immune cell recapitulation, model systems can concomitantly evolve to meet the changing landscape of cell therapy testing.

She was a voracious reader, and an accomplished writer and painter. A longtime member of the Audubon Society, she had a deep and abiding love of nature and joyfully passed this love to her children, teaching them to identify and appreciate birds, animals, plants and trees. A Master Gardener, an avid collector of books, art and nature\u2019s treasures, Ann transformed each place the family moved into a home and yard of beauty; a haven for her family and numerous pets, as well as the wildlife.\nShe loved travel, and after many family vacations to the Bahamas aboard their boat Paganos, she and her husband, Phil, explored the world together choosing roads less traveled. Their adventures took them to Alaska, Scotland, Australia, New Zealand, Egypt, Morocco, Tibet, China, both the Northern and Southern Spice Routes, and many other places. Both were lifelong learners and together they found great joy and deepened respect for world cultures, learning local customs and collecting the fine handiwork of each.\nAnn was a member of Trinity Episcopal Church, where she volunteered at its thrift shop, and was a devoted volunteer for the Melrose Public Library.\nShe was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Dr. Philip M. Payne, M.D.; her parents, Elbert Ezra and Margaret Ann Wilson; and her brother, Elbert \u201cBuster\u201d Wilson.\nAnn is survived by her children, Philip Payne III and his wife, Cynthia Booth, Margaret \u201cMaggie\u201d Blizzard and her husband, Rick, who both lovingly cared for her in the final years of her life, Oona Lewis and her husband, Eddie, Susan Russo and her husband, Carmine, and Sarah Speese and her husband, Clark. Ann also is survived by seven grandchildren, Ben and Katie Payne, Reid and Kyle Lewis, Drew, Eric and Annie Speese.\nDonations may be made to the Melrose Public Library, P.O. Box 1048, Melrose, Fla. 32666; or Haven Hospice, 6400 St. Johns Ave., Palatka, Fla. 32177.\nArrangements are under the care of Jones-Gallagher Funeral Home, Keystone Heights, Fla. www.jonesgallagherfh.com.\nMr. John E.

        "raw_content": "Build Community Through Sharing Stories.\nJust blocks from the bustling tourist shops in the port area of Falmouth Jamaica, stands a white stucco Salvation Army Church. Inside this building, we met with local community leaders. We shared stories and information, offering ways to stay connected throughout the dementia journey. We hoped to build community through sharing stories.\nEven before we spoke, Shirley Duncan, a volunteer with Alzheimer\u2019s Jamaica, and one of the event organizers, said, \u201cI have a surprise for you.\u201d She spoke eloquently of the need to talk about dementia, to share experiences, and to be there for the caregivers and people living with dementia. Then she told us that today\u2019s participants were making a commitment to form an on-going group that would educate, advocate, and care for those affected by dementia in their community. \u201cWe are calling our group Debron, in honor of you two, because you are the catalysts,\u201d she told us.\nRon had been working with Shirley and Dundeen Ferguson of Alzheimer\u2019s Jamaica for several weeks, setting up the presentation. Shirley and Dahlia Klein orchestrated the details, spreading the word among the community leaders, garnering the venue, and making sure all went smoothly. We were thrilled to be catalysts and delighted to be discussing ideas with such a dedicated group of women, many of whom were former teachers.\nWe shared ideas from Dr. Madan Kataria in Mumbai about the power of laughter yoga, and we told a story about creating an inland beach from, Dr. Claire Craig in Sheffield, England. We talked about the power of Dan Cohen\u2019s Music & Memory program and discussed ways to connect through art, citing a story from Teri Miller in Houston, Texas. And we chatted about ways to stay connected through cooking together, sharing our own favorite childhood dishes, which included spiced shrimp, banana porridge, dumplings, roasted corn with shredded coconut, and so much more.\n\u201cWe will spread these ideas throughout our community,\u201d one of the women told us. \u201cThat is what teachers do, we share information.\u201d\nWe left feeling so inspired and so connected. This is what we all need, caring people, compassionate and eager to learn, ready to offer help and hope.\nDuring our presentation, we talked about Dr. Madan Kataria\u2019s Ha Ha chorus. At the end, the women said, \u201cWe want to sing you a song.\u201d They serenaded us with the Ha Ha chorus. Watch this video and please, sing along.\nhttps://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0elXRV1YrIqUkhqNzN3RkhPSUU\nPosted in Activities, Care Partnering, Caregiving, Dementia-friendly activities, The Arts and tagged alzheimer's, Alzheimer's Caregiving, Alzheimer's Dementia, Alzheimer\u2019s Jamaica, care partners, caregiver, caregiving, creativity, dementia, Falmouth, Jamaica",

        "raw_content": "38 steps to CQC compliance\nI am principal dentist at 38 Devonshire Street, London, W1. I first heard about the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and the new legislative requirements at the beginning of last summer when I very innocently attended a meeting at the BDA.\nI had heard the initials CQC before but they had no real meaning to me. My realisation of the implications has been a gradual one.\nMy relationship with CQC started with the hope that it would go away. I\u2019m sure I\u2019m not the only dentist who scanned the list of government quangos to be cut praying that the CQC would be included\u2026 it was not.\nI made contact with Fiona Stuart-Wilson from UMD Professiona and Tim Eldridge, the chairman of CODE and booked them to give an introductory seminar for [email protected] in November/December. I attended along with my team. Thank heavens we did.\nChristmas was utterly hijacked by the application form and with the deadline of 31 December. My first reaction was to feel cross that we were all as a profession being put under such pressure. I am in private practice and if a patient isn\u2019t treated with the utmost respect in every possible way, they vote with their feet.\nWhen I got the the policy on safeguarding my staff from stress at work, I wanted to shout: \u2018But what about me? Can I object to complying with this on the basis that I am feeling very stressed and want a break?\u2019\nSeveral of my new year\u2019s resolutions had the letters CQC in them somewhere.\nIt took a couple of days. Well, maybe a week, actually, for me to see the whole thing more rationally. As the past couple of weeks have gone by, I have realised that there were \u2013 and still are \u2013 many, many gaps in our systems and, what the CQC has given us is a management checklist which is comprehensive.\nI\u2019m not saying it isn\u2019t rather over the top in many ways, but it is complete.\nThe CQC compliance requires teamwork. It is not possible to do it alone. I am purposely emphasising the word \u2018team\u2019 as I am genuinely convinced that my practice\u2019s successes so far are \u2013 and have been \u2013 down to my incredible team.\nAchieving CQC compliance will further build that team. We have been given a framework to improve our team performance and to build in proper line management and communication.\nWe have the ultimate opportunity to get everything out on the meeting table and share the tasks until they are done. Full engagement by the team in every area of the practice will be the result and I truly believe it will be a positive. We will engage in the necessary training as a team and it will be beneficial.\nI am not quite at the stage where I am ready to thank the CQC for doing this \u2013 the next few months are still to unfold and I will be truthful, good or bad.\nLet\u2019s say for now, I feel optimistic.\nNext step: My team and I will attend Raj Majithia and Fiona Stuart-Wilson\u2019s full day workshops in February on the subjects of clinical governance and audit, staffing and training, record keeping, treatment planning & consent, and CQC and the DCP.",

Check out this story on detroitnews.com: https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/politics/2019/01/31/political-insider-amash-trump-emergency/2721580002/\nMelissa Nann Burke and Beth LeBlanc, The Detroit News Published 6:30 a.m. ET Jan. 31, 2019 | Updated 8:29 a.m. ET Jan. 31, 2019\nU.S. Rep. Justin Amash, R-Cascade Township (Photo11: J. Scott Applewhite, AP)\nMichigan Republican Rep. Justin Amash this week criticized the idea of President Donald Trump declaring a national emergency to secure money to build his Southern border wall.\n\"@POTUS can\u2019t claim emergency powers for non-emergency actions whenever Congress doesn\u2019t legislate the way he wants,\" Amash tweeted Monday.\nAmash, who represents the Grand Rapids area, was responding to a statement by Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina, that Trump \"must\" declare an emergency for the construction of the wall if lawmakers fail to reach a deal on border security.\nNo. @POTUS can\u2019t claim emergency powers for non-emergency actions whenever Congress doesn\u2019t legislate the way he wants. https://t.co/AZuoZ5CMKP\nGraham, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, said on Twitter that previous presidents deployed troops to the border, so \"what\u2019s the difference between troops securing the border and troops constructing barriers to secure the border?\"\nTrump has claimed the \"absolute right to do national emergency if I want.\u201d\nAmash has suggested declaring a national emergency would be executive overreach because there is no \"emergency.\"\n\"An 'emergency' does not elicit endless debate without consensus, nor is it addressed with a plan requiring years to execute,\" Amash tweeted.\n\"A house is burning, a ship is sinking, a city is flooding \u2014 these are considered emergencies precisely because everyone agrees they require immediate action.\"\nAmash is not the only Republican on Capitol Hill to object. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Florida, told NBC's \"Meet the Press\" Sunday that such a move is a \"terrible idea\" and one that might not withstand legal challenge in court.\n\"You could very well wind up in sort of a theatric victory at the front end and then not get it done. I think the best way to do it is to have a law passed that funds border security so we know it's going to happen,\" Rubio said.\nCritics have questioned the legal authority for an emergency and say it could set a precedent that could be abused in the future whenever an agreement can't be reached.\nThe debate over Trump possibly pursuing the move was reignited after he signed legislation Friday temporarily reopening the government for three weeks following a 35-day partial shutdown.\nHe has demanded $5.7 billion in wall funding as part of a long-term spending bill.\n\u201cIf we don\u2019t get a fair deal from Congress, the government will either shut down on Feb. 15, again, or I will use the powers afforded to me under the laws and Constitution of the United States to address this emergency,\" Trump said.\nMore committee news\nFreshman Rep.

        "raw_content": "One Way to Resist Cravings\nMost people have cravings of some kind, whether it be for an addictive substance like alcohol or cigarettes, or for something benign, like chocolate or french fries. Most find cravings to be mild and momentary, but sometimes cravings can be a real problem: people trying to lose weight can have cravings just as strong as those struggling with alcohol dependence.\nA recent study from the University of Missouri followed 8,000 children from kindergarten through third grade (J Am Diet Assoc 2007;107(1):53-61). The children were participants in the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study - Kindergarten Cohort, a sample of children from schools nationwide who entered kindergarten in 1989. About 48% were boys, 52% girls.\nTry Turning Off the Television\nYou're all no doubt more than familiar with the two main strategies for weight loss: reducing the number of calories you eat and increasing the number of calories you burn. Obesity researchers are also looking at ways to decrease the amount of time people spend in sedentary behaviors (activities that don't significantly increase the number of calories you burn much above your baseline resting state).\nSmart Phones and Childhood Obesity\nSmart phones seem to be more and more common, even in school age children. And they don't appear to be limited to those children whose families are in the higher income brackets: those who are minorities or are in lower income brackets are just as likely to have a smart phone as their peers. With childhood obesity a major concern, researchers are investigating ways to make use of that ubiquitous technology to help treat or prevent obesity in children.\nIn a recent issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine (2014;46(4):404-408), a team of researchers in Kansas City, Kansas, and Kansas City, Missouri reported on a pilot study they performed to see if a mobile application like those used on smart phones could help improve adolescents' intake of fruits and vegetables, reduce their intake of sugar-sweetened beverages, and reduce their \"screen time,\" or time in front of a computer or television.\nForty-four girls between the ages of 9 and 14, of racial or ethnic minorities, were recruited through afterschool programs in economically disadvantaged neighborhoods. Through three four-week modules, the study focused on fruits and vegetables (weeks 1-4); sugar-sweetened beverages (weeks 5-8); and screen time (weeks 9-12).\nHalf were provided with a handheld computer, about the same size as a smart phone but without typical smart phone functionality (telephoning, texting, other game play), to use for the study. The girls were required to use the handheld to set two daily goals as part of a plan to improve the behavior related to each module, and the handheld then prompted them at 5 preselected intervals throughout the day to help remind them of their goals. Those girls who responded to 80% or more of daily prompts were rewarded that day with a song download.\nThe other half of the girls received a printed manual showing screenshots from each of the three modules, but because they were not interactive, the manuals did not issue reminders or give any rewards for appropriate participation.\nThrough dietary questionnaires, the researchers were able to assess the girls' fruit and vegetable intake along with their consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages. Screen time was measured with a different questionnaire.\nThe girls assigned to the handhelds used the program on about 2/3 of the days, and those who responded to more of the prompts during weeks 5-8 were more likely to reduce their intake of sugar-sweetened beverages by about 1/3 of a serving per day. On the other hand, the girls did report consuming more fruits and vegetables, although the number of responses to the prompts did not appear to be related to the amount consumed. No effect was seen for screen time, nor was there any effect on those in the control group (those who received the printed screenshots).\nThis is a pilot program, meaning that it was intended to help the researchers decide, first, if the design of the research had merit, and second, how many participants would yield a truly useful result. As such, then, the only take home message is that reminder programs such as these using mobile technology might be helpful in promoting certain behaviors among adolescents. More research is needed to determine how mobile technology can be most effectively utilized and on which behaviors.",

        "raw_content": "Clinton Set to Address DNC\nPHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Hillary Clinton is set to face the nation with the goal of introducing the woman that speaker after speaker, including a pair of presidents, have spent days promising the American public they'll finally get to see: the \"real\" Hillary Clinton.\nIn the biggest moment of her nearly 25-year political career, aides say Clinton on Thursday evening will lay out a positive vision for the future and detail her proposals to improve the economy, boost the country's security and unite a divided nation. She aims to strike a stark contrast with Republican nominee Donald Trump, who offered few policy specifics in a convention address that presented a picture of a diminished nation.\nBut Clinton's challenge has never been her command of policy.\nDuring the course of her second presidential run, she has sat through hours of town halls, nodding and taking notes as community leaders detailed a litany of problems. They have yielded dozens of detailed policy proposals, addressing everything from puppy mills to insurance coverage for autism care.\nWhere Clinton has struggled is in presenting a clear and compelling rationale for her presidency. Since launching her bid last summer, the Democratic nominee has cycled through a series of slogans: \"Fighting for Us,\" ''Breaking Down Barriers\" and, most recently, \"Stronger Together.\"\n\"She needs to connect, she needs to become a little bit more human,\" said Mo Elleithee, a former Democratic strategist who worked as Clinton's campaign press secretary in 2008. \"It's not that she has experience, it's that she has a record of fighting for you.\"\nFor decades, Americans have been fascinated by Clinton's rise through politics, her persistence in the face of failures and her capacity for enduring scandal. But they've struggled to believe in her, or even simply believe her.\nAides say it's a problem born out of Clinton's desire to make her work \u2014 and not her personality \u2014 the focus. Though she's one of the most famous politicians in the world, they argue that voters still don't really know much about her accomplishments.\n\"Hillary Clinton is a workhorse, not a showhorse. Rather than do a lot of press conferences, she's just moved on to the next thing,\" said campaign manager Robby Mook. \"There's a price to pay for that, which is you get a lot done and you help a lot of people, but maybe people don't know as much about what you have done.\"\nThat's a flattering explanation for a serious political challenge. Polling shows that while Americans don't doubt Clinton's qualifications, they question her honesty, a problem made worse by the congressional and FBI investigations into her use of a private email account and server as secretary of state.\nIn recent weeks, Clinton has begun acknowledging the fact that many Americans do not trust her, a problem she once dismissed as the result of decades of Republican attacks.\nShe sees her convention speech as an opportunity to build trust with voters by showing off her commitment to policies that she believes can improve their lives, such as paid family leave or college costs. Her staff says she's spent weeks thinking through her message and crafting her address.\n\"I can faithfully report that she is in a very positive frame of mind,\" said longtime aide and top policy staffer Jake Sullivan. \"She views Thursday night as her opportunity to address the nation about her ideas, about the moment we're in and about what motivates her.\"\nBut earning a country's trust is not a problem that can be fixed in any single speech \u2014 or even a four-day convention.\nWith Clinton largely absent from the convention stage \u2014 she made a brief cameo on stage Wednesday night after Obama spoke \u2014 the convention speakers in Philadelphia urged Americans to see beyond what Bill Clinton called the \"cartoon\" of Clinton created by adversaries.\n\"Dorothy and Hugh's daughter and my sweet friend,\" proclaimed childhood friend Betsey Eberling.\nOr a tenacious politician who Obama said has been \"accused of everything you can imagine and some things you can't.\"\n\"But she knows that's what happens when you're under a microscope for 40 years,\" Obama said of his preferred successor. \"She knows that sometimes during those 40 years, she's made mistakes, just like I have, just like we all do.\"",

According to WRAP, in the UK, 85% of food arising from households and food manufacturing goes to waste (with household waste making up 70%).\nEarthworm Watch is a collaboration between Earthwatch, The Natural History Museum and the Earthworm Society of Britain. The Earthworm Society (ESB) is a voluntary organization that plays an important part in supporting scientific research to improve the conservation of earthworms and their habitats and educates and inspires people to take action to help earthworms.\nToday is World Soil Day \u2013 an important annual occasion aimed at raising awareness of the critical role that soils play in our lives. Soils are important for everyone, as almost everything we need to survive is dependent on them. If you think about the clothes on your back, the food that you eat, the air that you breathe or the water that you drink, essentially it can be traced back to the soil.\nSoil carbon and earthworms: Latest results from Dr. Alan Jones, Science Research Manager\nDr. Alan Jones, our Research Manager at Earthwatch Institute has been analysing the results of our soil carbon analysis following our spring Earthworm Watch campaign. We can now have a first look at the relationship between earthworm numbers and our soil colour chart which indicates soil carbon content. From the start of Earthworm Watch, one of our aims was to try to understand how soil carbon content might influence earthworm numbers.\nOn Saturday 22nd October Earthwatch Watch visited the London Wetland Centre to promote the Earthworm Watch survey and take part in earthworm activities with visitors. During the day Emma Sherlock (curator of earthworms at the Natural History Museum, London) and I went searching for some specialist wetland earthworms. There are four species of earthworms in the UK with a strong preference for living in waterlogged conditions such as wetlands.",

The forum was organized and will continue to be organized by the edacentrum as part of their mission to bridge the design gap (the gap between designing and production) by collaboration of system and semiconductors companies, EDA vendors and research institutes. For further information on the past edaforum events see here.\nDuring the past few years, the edaForum has become an attractive event that has been visited by a lot of people. Over the years more and more effort and expenditure have been spent in order to provide an interesting program. However this year, due to restricted travel budgets, too few participants are expected to warrant the expenditure. Therefore the edacentrum has decided to call off and suspend this year's edaForum, which had been scheduled to take place in Berlin from 24-25 November 2009. This is not necessarily a permanent decision for the years to come as the edacentrum expects to revive the edaForum stronger than ever in the future.",

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb Education Articles \u00bb Trades, Careers, Vocations \u00bb Culinary Arts \u00bb How To Become A Professional Cook\nHow To Become A Professional Cook\nCooking is a passion for many people and for most it is a hobby that they play around with in their kitchen over the years. But, for others, they take that passion and turn it into a career. When you have the ability to turn a passion into a career, it is an opportunity that you need to jump at. If you have a passion for cooking and want to become a professional cook, then you need to know the culinary school, culinary degree, and career path that you need to pursue.\nWhile there is no shortage of ways that you can become a professional cook, the following steps will help you land the professional cook job that you always wanted.\n\u2022 Starting working in a restaurant: This first thing that you need to do, even if you are still in high school, is to start working in a restaurant environment. The position doesn\u2019t really matter. Whether you work in the kitchen, as a waiter/hostess, or as a dishwasher, you need to get your foot in the door to start learning the ins and outs of the restaurant business.\n\u2022 Go to culinary school: While some people work their way up, if you want to become a professional cook, your best option is to go to culinary school. Going to culinary school will provide you with the foundational skills and knowledge you need to be a head chef.\n\u2022 Get a culinary degree: Going to culinary school and getting a culinary degree will open the door to more high profile cooking positions in the industry. Culinary degrees are offered at vocational, community colleges, and culinary institutions. Make sure that you choose a culinary school that will teach you not only how to cook, but also important health and safety, sanitization, and restaurant management skills as part of your culinary degree. Plan your culinary course schedule wisely.\n\u2022 Take Business and Culinary Courses: Most people that want to be a professional cook also aspire to be a restaurant owner one day. Therefore, it is important to take both business and culinary courses when in school. The culinary classes will prepare you for the kitchen, while the business classes will prepare you for management and give you the skills to effectively operate a business.\n\u2022 Find an internship/apprenticeship: Doing an internship when going to culinary school is an important step in becoming a professional cook. If you can secure an internship with a well-known chef or restaurant, it will make a significant difference in your career development.\n\u2022 Get Certification: Depending on what type of cook you want to become, you may want to explore certification options. The more credentials you have the better.\n\u2022 Start working: Culinary school is the perfect education option if you aspire to be a professional cook. But you need to realize that even with an educational background you will likely have to start near the bottom, especially if you get a job with high class establishment.\n\u2022 Be proactive: if you want to work your way up quicker, be proactive and take additional cooking courses, developing your cooking skills, network, attend events and keep your eye out for opportunities to move up in the industry.",

        "raw_content": "Panel's Draft Report on Governance Draws Fire at Meeting\nMembers of the National Commission on Governing America's Schools say they aren't afraid of generating controversy if it means getting the education establishment to think of new ways to run schools.\nThe 18-member group, convened by the Education Commission of the States this past February to come up with innovative approaches to school organization and management, got its first taste of criticism last month when the panel unveiled a working draft of its report on governance during the ECS conference in Denver.\nSome education leaders complained that the preliminary report, which lists four different governance models for schools, failed to draw from examples already in place in various city districts.\n\"In reading the initial document, I thought the report was confusing and at odds with itself,\" Michael Preston, the school board director of the 47,000-student Seattle district, said during the July 13 session. \"We were disappointed that the report did not work with existing structures and bear out what is working well.\"\nCommission member Lynnwood Battle, the president of the Cincinnati school board, said such criticisms resonated with the commission and would likely be reflected in the final report, which is slated for release in November.\nAt the same time, Mr. Battle noted, part of the commission's charge is to be innovative, and members expect to ruffle some feathers along the way. (\"ECS Convenes Group To Explore School Governance,\" March 3, 1999.)\n\"We are committed to pushing the envelope to some extremes that probably haven't been considered before,\" he said. \"We agree that is what's necessary now. We can't leave the system as it is, and tinkering around the edges is no longer acceptable either.\"\nThe draft report presents four different governance models on a continuum, with each option becoming progressively more decentralized than the one before it:\nThe first model would aim to improve the existing system by specifying and reallocating the roles that states, districts, and schools have in the educational process. It would make states responsible for setting standards and providing resources, districts responsible for instructional guidance and school accountability, and schools responsible for providing instruction and improving student performance.\nUnder the second model, authority would be concentrated at the school level, giving schools more authority over resource allocation and hiring decisions.\nThe third model would take education out of the hands of government and empower independent agencies, or charter districts, to run schools.\nThe fourth would create new local educational authorities, or educational development boards, to manage a variety of independent schools and programs and encourage private investment in schools. Individual schools would primarily manage themselves, deciding the employment, evaluation, and compensation of staff.\nCommission members emphasized that they have no intention of promoting the merits of one model over the others.\n\"The commission is not an advocate of anything except candor,\" said Theodore R. Sizer, a commission member and the chairman of the reform network known as the Coalition of Essential Schools.\nBut some critics assert that the commission needs to paint more detailed pictures of the models before they could be fairly assessed.\nIn an interview last week, Nat LaCour, the executive vice president of the American Federation of Teachers, raised concerns about the models. \"Our main concern is that this is an effort to transfer authority away from the government and locally elected school boards and give that authority to groups that are not accountable to the people,\" Mr. LaCour said.\nPublished in Print: August 4, 1999, as Panel's Draft Report on Governance Draws Fire at Meeting\nRead a related story, \"ECS Members Take Closer Look at Teaching as a Profession,\" in This Week's News.\nLearn more about the ECS program, Governing America's Schools.",

        "raw_content": "Student Performance Key in New Teacher Evaluations\nBy Adam Crisp, Chattanooga Times Free Press, Tenn. (MCT)\nNew teacher evaluation standards passed by the Tennessee Board of Education on Friday will weigh heavily on how well students perform in the classroom.\nFifty percent of a teacher's evaluation must be based on student performance, but there is some flexibility.\nThe new requirements mandate that 35 of the 50 percent be linked directly to performance in the Tennessee Value-Added Assessment System, a statistical analysis that compares student test scores and determines what is considered normal yearly academic growth.\nFifteen percent of the remaining performance portion of the evaluation may come from one of nine other state-mandated categories such as student graduation rates, schoolwide testing scores and subject-specific test scores, among others. Teachers and administrators decide from which areas the evaluatee should be evaluated.\nThe remaining 50 percent of an evaluation must come from how well teachers perform their jobs in the areas of planning, environment, professionalism and instruction.\n\"This policy basically lays out the guidelines for what the evaluation will entail,\" said Tennessee Department of Education spokeswoman Amanda Maynord Anderson. \"From here, the state and several systems will develop a process for teacher evaluations.\"\nAdministrators, librarians and counselors also will be evaluated under these guidelines. Like teachers, 50 percent of their evaluation is linked to performance and 50 percent is linked to specific job duties.\nOn Friday, Deputy Commissioner of Education Patrick Smith said it will be \"a couple of years\" before tenure decisions are made based on evaluations.\nUnder these new guidelines, apprentice teachers will receive six evaluations each year and regular teachers will receive no less than four evaluations. In all, administrators must observe teachers for no less than 60 minutes a year to complete the evaluations.\nAlready, systems across the state have been testing their own models for new evaluations. Hamilton County has transitioned into a system that relies on 10 yearly evaluations that last 10 minutes each.\nThough these guidelines say what the evaluation should include, how administrators go about collecting the data stil lis being discussed. On Friday, state board members indicated they didn't want the process to be all-consuming or confusing.\n\"Evaluations shouldn't be terribly onerous, so complex you get lost among the trees,\" said board Chairman B. Fielding Rolston. \"We don't want there to be so many checkmarks you can't tell what's being evaluated.\"\nCopyright (c) 2011, The Chattanooga Times Free Press, Tenn.

        "raw_content": "Home / Community / How does New Zealand protect the Human Rights of our older people?\nHow does New Zealand protect the Human Rights of our older people?\nSeeing that this years theme of the UN\u2019s International Day of Older Person is \u201cCelebrating Older Human Rights Champions\u201c I thought we should explore how New Zealand as a country is protecting and promoting the rights of our older people.\nIn 2015, AgeWatch index named New Zealand the 12th best country for older person wellbeing of the 96 countries measured. New Zealand ranked 23rd on Income Security, 9th on Health Status, 14th on Capability and 30th for Enabling Societies and Environment. So clearly we are doing pretty well in some areas, but there could be improvement in other areas.\nLets highlight the good:\nOne of the most important documents in relation to policy on older people is the Positive Ageing Strategy which was initiated in 1999 in response to the International Year of Older Persons. The vision for New Zealand articulated in the strategy is that of \u201ca society where people can age positively, where older people are highly valued and where hey are recognised as an integral part of families and communities.\u201d The Strategy\u2019s 10 goals guide policies and programmes across central and local government, to improve opportunities for older people to participate in their communities in ways they choose.\nTo read the Positive Ageing Strategy, click here. The Positive Ageing Strategy is getting a rethink to plan for the future needs of older people in New Zealand \u2013 click here to see how you can get involved in the process.\nNew Zealand also does well in regards to making sure people are involved in decision making when it comes to their life. Provisions in the Protection of Personal Property Rights Act (1988) and the Health and Disability Commissioner\u2019s Code of Health and Disability Services Consumer\u2019s Rights require that a person who is mentally impaired or incapable be involved in decisions that concern them to the extent that they are able. These provisions include the exercise of enduring power of attorney in relation to personal care and welfare, (the Act) and the right to make an informed choice and give informed consent (the Code).\nAnother great thing is that New Zealand has a universal superannuation. When a New Zealand Citizen or Resident turns 65 they are entitled to receive New Zealand Superannuation. Older people are also able to get SuperGold cards which allows them to receive discounts for a variety of things, including free off-peak travel on public transport systems.\nWe also have a Retirement Commissioner which has a focus on improving New Zealanders financial literacy, reviewing retirement income policy, and monitoring retirement villages\u2019 legislation. Win!\nThere is no compulsory retirement age in New Zealand. New Zealand has one of highest rates of labour-force participation of older people in the OECD. Go us!\nWhile we may have some things to improve on, New Zealand is not too bad of a place to grow old in!\nHuman Rights Older Persons Rights United Nations International Day for Older Persons\t2018-10-09\nTags Human Rights Older Persons Rights United Nations International Day for Older Persons\nPrevious Mental Health Awareness Week: October 8-14\nNext CEA\u2019s Healthy Home Tips: Keeping a Dry Home, from the Inside.",

Technique.\nA post shared by Deborah Salazar Shapiro (@deborahsalazarshapiro) on Apr 13, 2018 at 7:59am PDT\nIt is everywhere in the media.\nThe recent cover of National Geographic reads, \u201cPlanet or Plastic?\u201d We have a planetary plastic waste crisis, and marine animals, especially, are paying the consequences. The viral photograph by Justin Hofman of a seahorse holding a cotton swab, which was taken on the Indonesian archipelago, is almost impossible to forget. Or perhaps you\u2019ve read the report of a young sperm whale found on a beach in Spain with 64 pounds of waste in her belly. Most of it was\u2026you guessed it, plastic.\nOur consumption of and dependence on plastic items are out of control. Plastic products take forever to decompose, literally. It is estimated that a standard polyethylene bag (plastic shopping bag) can take from 450 to 1,000 years to break down in landfills. But, even then, scientists say that the bags don\u2019t really disappear. Instead, they photodegrade, meaning they turn into microscopic particles that can end up anywhere.\n\u201cWhat about recycling?\u201d you may ask. Recycling is good. It helps us conserve our natural resources, reduces energy consumption, cuts greenhouse gases, and decreases pollution, among other things. Unfortunately, according to some research, of the 18.2 trillion pounds of plastic products manufactured between the 1950s and 2015, only about nine percent of plastic waste was recycled.\nAll of us\u2014animals and human beings alike\u2014have a strong instinct to live. In the U.S., most of us strive not only to survive but to live comfortably. Plastic products exist for every possible need we can have or imagine, including single-use plastics\u2014all for our convenience; such as, eating utensils, disposable cups, plastic food containers, plastic food storage bags; even cleaning wipes have some plastic in it. Yes, those we use for the face, the tushy, the car, and so on.\nA lot of the wipes mentioned above are made with polyester or polypropylene, which are plastic resins; the United Kingdom is taking measures to ban them. Most of us don\u2019t want to make our own disinfectant or mix a cleaning solution like in old times. But every time we purchase one of these products, we create a demand that has contributed to the current crisis. A report from the Center for Biological Diversity estimates that, in just the Los Angeles area, 10 metric tons of plastic fragments (that is, plastic bottles, plastic bags, and straws) enter the Pacific Ocean daily.\nIs this information enough to spark a desire to change your lifestyle? If so, one tool is mindfulness, \u201cmoment to moment awareness without judgment.\u201d With mindfulness, we can become more aware of our individual consumption habits. And we need to take the \u201cwithout judgment\u201d part seriously\u2014all of us make mistakes along the way. The main thing is to set an intention to make a difference and then take action on behalf of the planet and all living beings.\nDid you know that some people have a zero-waste lifestyle? In other words, they don\u2019t throw away anything they purchase but rather reuse it. Amazing! Maybe you can\u2019t go that far, but you can train your attention and practice a specific mindfulness skill called S.T.O.P., developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn, when you are offered a plastic product at a restaurant, especially plastic straws, or whenever you\u2019re about to buy a plastic item.\nHow to practice the S.T.O.P. technique:\nS\u2014Stop. Before you place an item in your shopping cart, pause silently for a moment.\nT\u2014Take a deep breath, more if you can. Be aware of the present moment.\nO\u2014Observe. Notice what is happening inside and outside of you (thoughts, feelings, emotions, and even body sensations), then ask yourself three questions about the item you\u2019re thinking of buying:\n1) What is it made of?\n2) Is it good for the environment (if disposed and/or not recycled)?\n3) Is it necessary? Do I really, really need it?\nAfter you\u2019ve briefly reflected on these questions, then:\nP\u2014Proceed, with awareness. Use your reflection on the questions to decide if you want to purchase the item or not.\nPausing mindfully in this way can make us aware of our attachment to convenience and how it affects our animal friends, and our future generations as well.\nThe S.T.O.P. technique can be practiced anywhere. Besides helping the environment, it might even help you to save some money!\nStart with yourself, then you might be inspired to spread the word to your immediate family, your extended family, friends, community, and the larger world.\nauthor: Deborah Salazar Shapiro\nBy 2050, Our Oceans Will Hold More Plastic than Fish.

        "title": "Re-Examining Urban Poverty and Employment: Improved Incomes and Labor Productivity Hold The Key to Better Results : Finance & Development, March 1986:",
        "raw_content": "Issues in retrospect\nUrban labor markets\nFriedrich Kahnert\nUrban poverty is a pervasive problem in many, if not most, developing countries. One fifth to one third of urban households in many middle-income countries earn too little to feed themselves adequately. In lower-income countries (or regions of countries), half or more of the urban population may fall into this category. Urban poverty has probably worsened in the recent recession years with many countries experiencing falling real incomes.\nIn these times of austerity, it is becoming even more urgent to raise urban incomes. Even in low-income countries, urban areas now account for half or more of the nation\u2019s measured gross national product. The potential for raising public revenues ultimately depends on raising income, and urban incomes form an increasingly important part of the nation\u2019s tax and savings base. Enhancing urban employment and labor productivity thus become key objectives both for alleviating poverty and for improving local resource generation.\nWhen the World Bank first focused its attention on the relief of urban poverty in the early 1970s, a two-pronged approach was proposed: (1) improving the access of the poor to housing and related services, and (2) enhancing employment opportunities for the poor. Given the Bank\u2019s lack of experience with poverty-oriented urban development, both approaches were conceived as experimental, intended to foster \u201clearning-by-doing.\u201d\nIt was possible to demonstrate that low-cost housing and services, adapted to local conditions, were in demand by the poor and could be made affordable to them. Sites-and-services schemes designed to provide land and ancillary facilities for housing (instead of construction of completed houses) and slum-upgrading became the main operational tools in this effort.\nNo consensus existed on how to promote job creation. Indeed, experts disagreed on basic questions. For example, was it desirable to increase jobs in urban areas or would this simply accelerate rural-to-urban migration and swell the ranks of the unemployed and underemployed urban poor? Would it be better to try to reduce \u201cexcessive\u201d migration primarily by promoting rural development? Many similar questions remained unresolved with the result that the Bank\u2019s operational pursuit of urban job creation remained tentative and modest.\nA decade of experience permits us to take a fresh look at the problem of urban poverty and its likely solutions. This evidence suggests that the primary emphasis on creation of urban jobs per se may be misdirected and should be complemented or perhaps replaced by an emphasis on labor productivity and income generation. A consensus may now be developing on what should be done and how.\nJob generation in urban areas is still important. Urban population in developing countries has grown very rapidly over the last 30 years, averaging 4.3 percent a year compared with 2.1 percent in developed countries. In 1980 the urban areas of developing countries had about 3\u00bd times more people than in the 1950s, and African urban populations more than quadrupled over these three decades. Even where urban growth rates are declining, unprecedented numbers of people are being added to urban populations. Growth rates of large metropolitan areas, particularly in Latin America, may have peaked in the 1940s and 1950s and they will probably decline further. The population of S\u00e3o Paulo, for instance, grew by about 2 million, at an annual rate of 6.5 percent in the 1950s; in the 1970s, the city\u2019s annual growth rate fell to 4.4 percent, but even that meant 4.3 million people were added during that decade. S\u00e3o Paulo will still add the same number over the 1990s, even if its growth declines to 2.6 percent a year.\nUrban jobs will have to grow just as rapidly and perhaps faster than the urban population, because declines in natural population growth rates (which are now occurring in many countries) affect the growth of the labor force only after a lag of about 15 years and because female participation in the labor force is increasing in many countries. Rural-to-urban migration is undeniably an important contributor to urban growth, but it has been less important than natural population growth for over 20 years. Moreover, notwithstanding differences in regional experience, the contribution of migration to urban growth is declining almost everywhere, even though the actual number of migrants may still be rising.\nThe intense concern with urban job creation originated from widely held fears that urban areas would be unable to provide income-earning opportunities for their rising populations. These fears have proved unfounded. In fact, urban areas seem generally to have done well in productively absorbing additions to their labor force, even though often at low income levels. This is prompting the shift away from an exclusive emphasis on job creation to improving labor productivity and incomes.\nMuch of the vast literature generated by the concern with job creation saw extensive imperfections in urban labor markets that impeded the matching of labor supply and demand, causing large and unjustified wage differentials. Clearly, wages in urban areas differ greatly between high- and low-wage sectors and subsectors, large and small firms, the public and the private sector, and so on. But these differences in themselves do not tell us that the market is not functioning properly. This must be judged by whether or not:\nThere is a serious and growing problem of urban labor surplus, in the form of open unemployment or underemployment;\nWages for workers with similar characteristics tend to be equalized across sectors and firms;\nWage differentials respond over time to changes in labor supply and demand.\nThe perception that developing countries were experiencing a growing urban labor surplus, in the form of open unemployment, underemployment, or employment hidden in tertiary (trade and services) activities or in the informal sector (including construction, manufacturing, etc.), was a key reason for the growing concern with urban job generation. The evidence, while partial and far from flawless, consistently challenges this perception.\nFirst, there is no evidence that open urban unemployment rates are generally rising. The available evidence suggests these rates may have been falling over the 1970s. Double-digit rates of open urban unemployment have become less common in a number of countries, such as Colombia, the Republic of Korea, the Philippines, and Syria. In others, for example Brazil, Egypt, Mexico, and Thailand, unemployment rates were not in the double-digit range to start with and they remained stable or even declined. Similarly, underemployment is nowhere near as large as frequently claimed, if defined as involuntary short-time work and correctly quantified as the difference between actual hours worked by those on involuntary short time and the standard work week in the country concerned. Crude underemployment rates of 20\u201340 percent or more are often cited; in reality, if all those who want to work more actually put in a full work week, total hours worked would not rise much. For instance, in Mexico City and Guadalajara, about 20 percent of the work force worked less than a 40-hour week in early 1979 but only 5.8 percent wanted to work more hours.\nTable 1Indicators of the economic importance of some urban areas in developing countries\nOutput measure (In percent)\nBrazil: Greater S\u00e3o Paulo (1970) 8.6 36.0 of net domestic product\nChina: Shanghai (1980) 1.2 12.5 of gross industrial production\nHaiti: All urban (1976) 24.2 57.6 of national income\nPort-au-Prince (1976) 15.0 38.7 of national income\nIndia: All urban (1970/71) 19.9 38.9 of net domestic product\nKenya: All urban (1976) 11.9 30.3 of national income\nNairobi (1976) 5.2 20.0 of national income\nMexico: All urban (1970) 60.0 79.7 of personal income\nFederal District (1970) 14.2 33.6 of personal income\nPakistan: Karachi (1974/75) 6.1 16.1 of GDP\nPeru: Lima (1980) 28.0 43.0 of GDP\nPhilippines: Metro-Manila (1970) 12.0 25.0 of GNP\nThailand: Metro-Bangkok (1972) 10.9 37.4 of GDP\nTurkey: All urban (1981) 47.0 70.0 of GNP\nAnother frequently expressed view holds that a growing proportion of the labor force is channeled into urban tertiary activities where they form a pool of \u201csurplus\u201d and \u201cunproductive\u201d labor. It is not clear why income received from tertiary activities should be considered inferior to income from the primary and secondary sectors; the income recipient certainly does not think so. In any event, the evidence, though scanty, does not support the hypothesis that the urban tertiary sector is absorbing ever larger proportions of surplus labor. Instead, there is some evidence that the share of tertiary activities in urban employment has remained quite stable over lengthy periods in the developing countries. In addition, average incomes in this sector compare well with those elsewhere in the urban economy. The best guess now is that the urban tertiary sector in developing countries is growing primarily because there is demand for its output and not because people are being forced into it for lack of alternative income-earning opportunities.\nThe preceding generalizations pertain to the 1970s, a period when developing countries, as a group, experienced rapid growth of aggregate output. More recently, per capita incomes in many developing countries have stagnated and even declined, particularly in Latin America and Africa. In parallel, the recession of the early 1980s has caused urban unemployment to increase but this is a cyclical change and is not necessarily part of a secular rise in unemployment rates. In any case, whether or not the past employment trends, analyzed above, continue is a separate question from that of the light they shed on the functioning of labor markets.\nThe view that high and low wages observed side by side in urban areas portray severe malfunctioning of the labor market is not supported by research. Attempts to verify the existence of segmented high-wage and low-wage sectors have largely failed to document the importance of institutionally induced wage differentials or rigidities. The major part of wage variance in urban activities, at least in the private sector, is explained by productivity factors. And informal sector earnings are not universally lower than those in the formal sector; a large portion of informal sector incomes are well above what labor with comparable skill levels can earn in the formal sector. No wonder that many informal sector participants have no intention of leaving the sector to take a formal wage job.\nThe urban labor market is best viewed as a continuum of employment and income-earning opportunities ranging from very low to very high income levels. Many imperfections can be demonstrated, particularly along ethnic or sexual lines, by barriers to entry into specific activities of a formal or informal nature, by government and union policies and restrictive practices, or by inadequate information flows, but they do not appear to have an overriding impact on the functioning of the labor market. This conclusion may not fully apply to public sector wages and salaries and, a fortiori, public employment policies, which may be the source of significant economic losses.\nUrban poverty is by no means confined to the informal sector but occurs in all sectors of urban activity. Moreover, urban poverty is not synonymous with urban unemployment. Many unemployed are poor but many others are from families that were able to support their efforts to acquire education. More important, many of the poor in the labor force are not unemployed or on involuntary short-time work but put in long hours at low wages, or earn reasonable incomes but must use them to support large numbers of dependents. Thus, while more jobs and more working hours will help some of the poor, others can be helped by increasing their productivity and income per hour worked. Those not in the labor force, namely, the too young, the too old, and the infirm who are not part of households that have working members, cannot be helped by purely economic progress; their problems require other solutions.\nThe experience of migrants does not conform to earlier expectations either. They are not nearly as grossly overrepresented among the unemployed, the underemployed, those in the informal sector, and the poor as is widely believed. Some evidence even shows them to do as well or better than urban natives both in formal employment and in earnings across the board, at all education and age levels.\nIf persistent urban poverty problems cannot solely or primarily be blamed on labor market performance, and earnings are indeed largely determined by labor supply and demand, one must act on these in order to raise employment, productivity, and incomes. Reform of overall national policies wherever these show pronounced pro- or anti-urban biases, whether explicit or inadvertent, could be a prime tool for encouraging efficient urban employment and income generation. However, other more specific actions are just as necessary and do not have to wait for overall policy reform to remove conditions that inhibit productivity and income growth. Removing or attenuating these inhibitions will often be beneficial even if labor markets actually function less well than the preceding discussion seems to show. For example, upgrading the quality of labor will pay handsome dividends, even if labor mobility falls short of equalizing wages for workers with similar characteristics across sectors and firms.\nTable 2Proportions of population living in urban areas\nShare of total population\nWorld 29.0 33.9 37.5 41.3\nDeveloped regions 52.5 58.2 64.7 70.2\nLess developed regions 16.7 21.9 25.8 30.5\nLess developed regions without China and India 21.0 26.0 31.3 37.1\nSource: United Nations, Patterns of Urban and Rural Population Growth, 1980.\nEducation and health. The best way to enhance the capacity of workers to earn better incomes is to improve their education and health. Towns and cities appear to be much better equipped to do this, in general, than rural areas. Yet there are serious gaps within cities; for example, access to primary education in low-income urban neighborhoods can be very substantially below that of many rural areas. Some extra health risks are also intrinsic to urban life, such as increased risk of traffic accidents or the easier spread of communicable disease in high density settlements. More generally, the incidence and severity of nutritional, especially caloric, deficiencies, is often higher in low-income urban areas than in many rural areas, and access of the urban poor to health services is often limited.\nThe impact of education on labor productivity and earnings is well studied, clear, and direct; returns are often highest for primary education. The impact of health is more difficult to prove statistically but is not in doubt. It is most obvious through the intimate connections between health, education, and nutrition, and through the direct impact of debilitating and endemic diseases on the earnings of casual workers and on the level of sustainable effort when at work.\nPrograms to improve the income-earning capacity of the urban poor must improve access of the poor to education and health services. They must be concerned with not only the provision of physical infrastructure for primary education, basic health centers, and vocational training but also what is being taught and how. Many of the potential customers for these services, particularly if they are the breadwinners, cannot leave their jobs to improve their education or get health advice. Even primary school children have important functions in their families, such as helping in the family business, earning occasional income, or baby-sitting to allow the mother to work. The costs to the households of family members attending traditionally run educational institutions can thus be prohibitive and delivery systems must be adapted to reduce them to acceptable levels\u2014for example by providing instruction and health care in the evening near the places of residence. Similarly, vocational schools often produce skills that are not in demand in the local economy or teach the use of tools not generally available. This argues for involving the business community in deciding on how and what to teach. Finally, health and nutrition education are important complements to physical delivery facilities. For example, the health effects of clean drinking water are lost if the water is later contaminated by unsanitary practices. Such counseling should include family planning advice, because many poverty studies highlight the importance of family size as a cause of urban destitution.\nLand, infrastructure, and public services. The growth of employment and income-earning opportunities depends on the availability of inputs other than labor. If access to land, work space, and basic infrastructure is insufficient or these are available in uneconomic locations, entrepreneurs will be unable to expand businesses or create new ones. The same applies to essential inputs like electricity, water, waste disposal, and transport. If these are in short supply or are unreliable, the cost of doing business will be higher than it need be, and both employment and the productivity of labor will be depressed.\nFor a variety of reasons, the public sector in developing countries has assumed a much wider role in the provision of land, infrastructure, and public services than is common in developed countries. An equally wide range of reasons explains why it is not performing well in this role. A detailed examination of what is wrong and why would lead us into general questions of urban management that go well beyond the focus of this article. It is clear, however, that inadequate provision of these inputs and services is widespread and holds back employment and productivity growth. This affects the smaller enterprises more severely than large ones, because they are much less able to compensate for such deficiencies on their own. The small and the very small enterprises are also the ones that create most new jobs, even in developed countries. This makes remedial measures all the more important.\nTo be successful, such remedial measures will have to be tailored specifically to the needs of individual cities and towns; generalizations are not very helpful. From a large number of diagnoses in specific urban areas, it appears, however, that the following should be part of any program to improve the situation (in addition to more efficient management, cost recovery, and pricing of public services):\nOperation of public entities with a clear commercial purpose or promoting private initiatives in land development, factory and workshop construction, public markets, and so on;\nSystematic consultation with the business sector on issues such as investment planning for infrastructure and services, the location of commercial land, etc; and\nHelping businesses adapt to service deficiencies.\nDirect business support and regulatory reform. Flaws in markets for capital and foreign exchange also hold back demand for labor. Capital and foreign exchange are often rationed and allocated by criteria that discriminate against medium- and small-sized businesses, even though these businesses could hire more people and produce more output with a given amount of capital or foreign exchange. Similar discrimination arises from overly burdensome loan approval, disbursement, and collection procedures of financial institutions and from the increasingly untenable perception that the small entrepreneur cannot service loans on commercial conditions.\nParadoxically, special support programs to small business often add to capital market flaws because of the way they are designed. Many of them provide subsidized credit, which keeps them small in relation to need and encourages their clients to move prematurely into capital-intensive activities and technologies. Also, they often do not provide working capital, because they are slow to recognize that working capital is often more important than investment finance for the regular operation and growth of small enterprises. Similarly, they frequently fail to recognize the importance of construction, trade, and services in urban employment, income, and growth, and they restrict their lending to manufacturing activities. This excludes financial support from businesses that typically employ two thirds to three quarters of the labor force active in microenterprises.\nThe regulatory environment also constrains the growth and development of urban businesses, particularly the small ones. It is often characterized by regulations that are without substantive merit or unenforceable. Many rules are also ill-adapted to urban socioeconomic conditions and discriminate against smaller businesses. For example, zoning regulations may prohibit business activity in low-income residential areas, but very small enterprises cannot afford work space away from home. They will thus be forced to operate illegally or not at all, and both income and employment growth will suffer.\nA variety of actions can be undertaken to mitigate the effects of these constraints on business development. Microenterprise credit schemes have shown very high rates of return and could be more generally promoted. Considerable experience is now becoming available on what it takes to make such schemes financially viable, such as a motivated financial intermediary, preselection of borrowers by grass-roots voluntary organizations, mutual repayment guarantees by borrowers, quick disbursement of loans, frequent and convenient collection of repayments, and so on. More generally, financial institutions could be helped to resolve biases against small- and medium-sized businesses, and priority could be given to allocating foreign exchange for vital spare parts. Where the need is established, technical and managerial assistance to entrepreneurs could also be promoted.\nSpecial assistance could be provided to help entrepreneurs deal with cumbersome bureaucratic procedures. More important, in cooperation with the business community, the regulatory environment should be reviewed and inappropriate regulations weeded out; regulations and procedures streamlined to minimize costs and maximize gains for the local economy while safeguarding essential public interests; and relevant staff should be trained to understand the socioeconomic implications of their regulatory activities.\nSome common directions run through the various actions proposed above. First, their target is the business sector and its labor force as a whole. But many of them are likely to have their greatest value for the small and the very small enterprises, because these are, on balance, the least able to compensate for the imperfections and constraints they face. Second, the ideas presented argue for greater involvement of the business sector in such diverse areas as investment programming and coordination, financing of land development, factory and workshop construction, provision of some public services, the establishment of vocational training curricula and teaching methods, reform of regulations, and so on. Many of these activities are designed to improve the public response to the wide-ranging needs of the business sector. Particular care must be taken to ensure that, wherever appropriate, the voices of the small and very small enterprises are heard.\nThird, numerous interactions exist between the actions proposed. For example, relaxing zoning regulations in low-income residential neighborhoods will reduce the need for workshops separate from people\u2019s homes; lowering building standards will reduce needs for credit; locating low-income housing close to workplaces will reduce the need for and cost of public transport; and so on. Because of these interactions, the proposals for action must be seen as part of a program.\nThis broad program can be implemented by local authorities. Such authorities usually have substantial responsibilities in land, infrastructure, and service delivery and maintenance, and they are best able to exploit complementarities and to plan and coordinate investments in these fields. While they should not, themselves, become financial intermediaries, they can use persuasion, leverage, and funds to encourage lending to small businesses by existing financial institutions. They also have a clear role in the direct support of business at the local level, and in helping in other ways, such as in dealing with the bureaucracy (including their own), and in streamlining the regulatory framework and its enforcement. Many local authorities are also active in education and health services and more are entering these fields. Because responsibility for the various actions is likely to be diffused among a number of institutions and agencies, a city-level Economic Development Office with sufficient authority may need to be created to implement the program. Many cities in developed countries have been active in these areas for some time, yielding useful experience for their counterparts in the developing world.\nMany of the actions proposed have been tried and much experience with them has accumulated. They have not, however, been tried in a coherent and cohesive package, organized around the major objective of urban employment and income promotion. This should now be done. It could produce significant progress in meeting the challenge of poverty.",

        "raw_content": "Is 'Rick & Morty' Season 4 Going To Happen? Fans Are Worried The Show May Be Done\nThe future may not be bright for one of the most beloved animated series on the air. Over the weekend, Rick & Morty co-creator Dan Harmon broke the news to fans that although the show concluded its third season nearly half a year ago, the animated series has yet to be picked up for a fourth season by Cartoon Network. Of course, this has fans worried about the same thing: Is Rick & Morty Season 4 going to happen or is Cartoon Network killing the cult cartoon series? Harmon isn't exactly inspiring confidence that the show could return.\nThere has been speculation about the unsure future of Rick & Morty for a while now, but now Dan Harmon has taken to Twitter to address the production issues on Season 4 of his show. After a \"fan\" berated Harmon on Twitter, calling the showrunner a \"lazy alcoholic\" and accusing him of delaying the writing process for the new season, Harmon responded by revealing that Cartoon Network still has not picked up Rick & Morty for a fourth season yet. Obviously, this is pretty troubling news for fans that have been anticipating more episodes of Rick & Morty, and stirred up more suspicion that the animated series may be getting the ax.\nIf Cartoon Network does wind up announcing a renewal for Rick & Morty, it would mark the latest that the channel has ever picked up a new season of the show. Cartoon Network announced renewals for Seasons 2 and 3 of Rick & Morty after just a couple of episodes had aired in Seasons 1 and 2, respectively. However, Season 3 of Rick & Morty ended nearly half a year ago, back in October of 2017, and according to Dan Harmon, it still has not been picked up.\nRick & Morty fans have already been pretty agitated about the unsure status of Season 4 for a few months. At the very beginning of 2018, former show writer Ryan Ridley shared that he did not think anyone had been working on a new season of the show at that time, and that if Season 4 did come out, it most likely would not be released until the end of 2019.\nThe past few seasons of Rick & Morty have followed an erratic airing schedule, with about a year and a half between each of the show's ten-episode seasons. It's also worth noting that Dan Harmon's previous series Community was also a cult beloved show that faced cancellation rumors numerous times over the course of its six seasons. When NBC finally did cancel the sitcom after its fifth season, the short-lived streaming service Yahoo! Screen picked up the sixth season that Community had been promising its fans throughout its run.\nIf Cartoon Network does decide to cancel Rick & Morty, it would be a pretty confusing move in terms of ratings. The series' fanbase has only continued to grow since the show premiered in 2014, ballooning from cult status to a mainstream pop culture hit. The recently aired third season has achieved the show's highest ratings yet, suggesting that it is still on the upswing in terms of popularity. The show's fanbase has also been getting more public attention recently for the intense lengths they will go for the series \u2014 in particular, stories about Rick & Morty fans flooding McDonalds restaurants across the country when the fast food chain released a limited edition Szechuan sauce that was referenced in the show have illustrated how passionate certain fans of the series have gotten.\nAs of right now, Rick & Morty Season 4 is still in limbo. But now that Dan Harmon has made this news public, fans can probably expect Cartoon Network to make a final decision pretty soon... whether that will be good or bad news is still unclear.",

        "raw_content": "Casares is a picture postcard village with a population of just three thousand and the view from the approach is definitely worth a photo.\nTo say that Casares is beautiful is an understatement. Most of the white villages are beautiful, but there is something very special about the sight of Casares that causes visitors to park their car and simply stare or take a photo.\nThere are the sugar cubes again, piled precariously high and just nudging the battlements of an Arab castle. It is hard to believe that this enchanting, typical village is only nine miles from the hustle and bustle of the coast and has somehow succeeded in avoiding the coach tour circuit.\nIt is best to approach the village for the first time when driving from the coast road (N340/A7) by turning inland at Km. 147 (between Estepona and Sabinillas) near Torre de la Sal and head inland for 15 km. The scenery is picturesque, so take your time. Suddenly, you turn a bend in the road, and are treated to a spectacular view of the village with its medieval fortress.\nLuckily, the Restaurant La Terraza is on hand to prepare you for the walk around Casares' hilly streets. Park the car either here or by one of the other bars a little further on and climb down one of the footpaths that lead into the village. Don't expect rural venta prices. Click here to see more restaurants in Casares.\nHead for the main square Plaza de Espa\u00f1a. The square has improved greatly in the last few years from the point of view of a tourist in that it now has a welcoming pavement caf\u00e9. For an even better view, try the rooftop terrace.\nIn the square, note the statue of Blas Infante, the Andalucia Nationalist leader who was born here on July 5th, 1885 and executed by Franco's own rebels at the start of the civil war. Off the square in Calle Carrera, his birth house has been turned into a museum and tourist office.\nThose wanting a rewarding experience will follow the narrow street adjacent to the Virgin del Rosario chapel. Keep climbing and eventually you will have reached the top of the town, some 1,400 feet above sea level. There is an old fortress and a derelict church there, as well as a marvelous view overlooking the rooftops of the village.\nWatch for peregrine falcons and kestrels and, on a clear day, you will be able to spy the African coast with the Rock of Gibraltar looming craggily in the foreground.\nThere are two entrances into the fortifications, so you can walk completely around. One is an enclosed passageway, while the other resembles some kind of formal gate. The base of the walls is certainly Moorish but everything above shoulder height dates from after 1500.\nThe ruined church Iglesia de la Encarnaci\u00f3n was built in 1505 when Spain had already been free from the Moors for a number of years. It remained in use until 1845, and the building was badly damaged by anarchists during the Civil War of 1936-39. Today it is locked and deserted.\nThe Hermitage of Vera Cruz is near the church. The most striking thing for the visitor - except its lack of protection, the children on mini scooters and the drying clothes - is the large domed alcove, which may have been an altar room. Three of its four walls are still standing and are pitted here and there with bullet holes. During the savagery of the civil war when the church was reduced to ruins, it was common for factions to dispose of their enemies by hurling them in time-honoured fashion into the deep gorge below. Looking across the gorge to the right of the Restaurant la Teraza, a simple iron cross marks and remembers another civil war hurling site.\nEncarnaci\u00f3n Church\nThere are the interesting signs of an outdoor auditorium behind the church next to the cemetery. Don't hang around too long as productions here are as rare as icecream shops. Leave Casares on the road that winds around the village past the visitors centre and football pitch. When you get to the T-junction, you can either turn left for Manilva and the coast, or turn right for the next white village with a story; Gaucin.\nAfter one and a half kilometres from this junction in the direction of Manilva, a small track can be seen. This was once the main route to Jimena and San Martin. Those who have no objection to a bumpy ride can still use it. Over a cattle grid and past a farmstead and a plateau guarded by a ruined sections of wall can be seen. This is where the unguarded remains of the Iberian and Roman town of Lacipo lie waiting.\nIberian and Roman town of Lacipo\nLacipo was founded in the second century BC for the local population. It grew considerably and its economic strength was based on olive oil. The town was a seat of government for the immediate area until it declined in the second century AD. The largest remaining structure that can be seen today is a south-facing section of town wall standing 30 feet high. Lacipo's ruins don't offer the traveler who can be bothered to climb the hill a great temple or amphitheatre, but you do get a stunning view. You can also get a remarkable insight into two types of architecture standing side by side, long after the people who knew them, and lived, loved and worked in them have vanished into the years. Be wary of the idly grazing cows. A much fuller description of Lacipo can be read in the book In Search of Andalucia.\nNew contemporary style villas for sale in Casares Costa, currently under construction and due completion end 2018.

        "raw_content": "Join the fight against Alzheimer\u2019s\nThis past week my wife and I traveled to Washington, D.C., to discuss the impact and cost of Alzheimer\u2019s and related dementias. We met with Sen. Collins, Sen. King and Rep. Poliquin, who are in favor of adding $425 million to research, passing the BOLD Act and educating providers on palliative and hospice care.\nThe human and financial toll of Alzheimer\u2019s is great, and affects both the lives of the individuals and people around them. I had to stop teaching three years ago at 56 to care for my wife full time who was diagnosed with younger onset Alzheimer\u2019s six years ago, after being brushed off and told she \u201cwas too young to have Alzheimer\u2019s\u201d by her primary care provider.\nThe BOLD Act would provide crucial investment by establishing Alzheimer\u2019s centers of excellence across the country to provide early diagnosis and prevent avoidable hospitalizations. I\u2019m hopeful that The Jackson Lab right here in Maine could become one of these centers.\nAlzheimer\u2019s is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States, and the only cause of death without a way to prevent, cure or even slow its progression. One in every five Medicare dollars is spent on someone with Alzheimer\u2019s.\nWhile it is probably too late for my wife, Jackie, to benefit from these programs, I urge you to let Congress know you are in favor of them in order to prevent your loved ones and future generations from going through this horrible disease.\nThomas Frisk",

        "raw_content": "Home People Literature and the Arts Music: Popular and Jazz: Biographies Johnny Cash\nJohnny Cash\u2014\"The Man in Black\"\u2014has long been known as one of the most influential figures in country music since the 1950s. He has also reached a substantial audience of rock fans, thanks to his outlaw persona, deep, authoritative voice, and dark songs like \"Folsom Prison Blues.\" After enjoying a string of hits in the 1950s and even greater success in the late 1960s, when he was briefly the best-selling recording artist in the world, he saw his edgy, close-to-the-bone style go out of fashion. Even as his 1980s work was neglected, however, he appeared before adoring throngs worldwide. In 1994, well past his sixtieth birthday, he came roaring back with a sparsely recorded album, American Recordings, that ranked among his best work and earned him a Grammy Award. \"Can you name anyone in this day and age who is as cool as Johnny Cash?\" asked Rolling Stone rhetorically. \"No, you can't.\"\nJohn R. Cash was born into an impoverished Arkansas family in 1932 and grew up working in the cotton fields. His Baptist upbringing meant that the music he heard was almost entirely religious, and the hymns sung by country greats like the Carter Family and Ernest Tubb reached him on the radio and made an indelible impression. \"From the time I was a little boy,\" he recollected to Steve Pond in a 1992 Rolling Stone interview, \"I never had any doubt that I was gonna be singing on the radio.\" His brother Roy formed a band when he was young, increasing John's determination to do the same one day.\nCash had no idea, though, what path would lead him to his destiny. He held a few odd jobs after graduating from Dyess High School in 1950, but eventually opted for a four-year stay in the Air Force. Stationed in Germany, he endured what he would later describe as a lonely, miserable period. Fortunately, he learned to play the guitar and began turning the poetry he'd been writing into song lyrics. After seeing a powerful film about Folsom Prison, he sat down to write what would become one of his signature songs\u2014\"Folsom Prison Blues.\" His empathy for prisoners and other marginalized people would consistently inform his work. With his powerful position in a generally conservative musical world, he also championed Native American rights and other social ills.\nCash left the military in 1954 and married Vivian Liberto, whom he met before joining the Air Force; they had corresponded throughout his tour of duty. The two lived in Memphis, Tennessee, and he earned a meager living selling appliances. \"I was the worst salesman in the world,\" Cash confided to Pond. Nonetheless, he summoned the passion to sell himself as a singer, playing with a gospel group and canvassing radio stations for chances to perform on the air.\nMade First Recording\nEventually Cash was granted an audience with trail-blazing producer Sam Phillips, at whose Sun Studios the likes of Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and others made recordings that would help change the course of popular music. Phillips was a hard sell, but Cash won the opportunity to record his first single; \"Cry, Cry, Cry\" became a number 14 hit in 1955, and Cash's group played some local gigs with Presley. Pond describes Cash's early records as \"stark, unsettling and totally original. The instrumentation was spare, almost rudimentary,\" featuring bass and lead guitar supplied by his Tennessee Two and Cash's rhythm guitar, which had \"a piece of paper stuck underneath the top frets to give it a scratchy sound.\"\nIn 1956 Cash left his sales job and recorded the hits \"Folsom Prison Blues\"\u2014containing the legendary and much-quoted lyric \"I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die\"\u2014and \"I Walk the Line.\" The next year saw the release of the one album released by Sun before his departure from the label, Johnny Cash With His Hot & Blue Guitar. He and the Tennessee Two left the label after a string of hits and signed with CBS/Columbia Records in 1958. Singles he recorded on Sun at Phillips's insistence just before his contract lapsed continued to chart for years afterward, much to Cash's chagrin. Yet he charted on CBS as well with a bevy of singles and such albums as Blood, Sweat and Tears and Ring of Fire.\nIn the midst of his success, however, Cash grew apart from Vivian and their children. He grew dependent on drink and drugs and became increasingly dissolute. Such misery no doubt contributed force to such work as 1963's \"Ring of Fire,\" which was cowritten by June Carter, who also performed on the track. Cash and Carter\u2014of the famed Carter family\u2014became increasingly close, both professionally and personally. His marriage collapsed in 1966 and he nearly died of an overdose. Cash has long attributed his subsequent rehabilitation to two factors: Carter and God. He and Carter wed in 1968 and later had a son, John.\nBorn John R. Cash on February 26, 1932, in Kingsland, AR; died on September 12, 2003, in Nashville, TN; son of Ray (a farmer) and Carrie (Rivers) Cash; married Vivian Liberto, 1954 (divorced, 1966); married June Carter (a singer-songwriter), 1968; children: (first marriage) Rosanne, Kathy, Cindy, Tara; (second marriage) John Carter.\nWorked in auto assembly plant and margarine factory, 1949-50; recorded debut single \"Hey Porter\"/\"Cry, Cry, Cry\" for Sun Records, 1955; released debut album Johnny Cash with His Hot & Blue Guitar, 1957; signed with Columbia Records and released Ride This Train, 1960; hosted television program The Johnny Cash Show, 1969-71; wrote autobiography Man in Black and novel Man in White ; signed with Mercury Records and released Johnny Cash Is Coming to Town, 1987; signed to American Recordings and released American Recordings, 1994; released Unchained, 1996; issued box set, Love, God, Murder, 2000; recorded American IV: The Man Comes Around, 2002.\nAwards: Grammy Awards: (with June Carter) Best Country and Western Performance Duet, 1967; Best Album Notes, 1968; Best Country Vocal Performance, Male, 1968; Best Country Vocal Performance, Male, 1969; Best Album Notes, 1969; (with June Carter) Best Country Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group, 1970; (with Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison, Sam Phillips, Rick Nelson, and Chips Moman) Best Spoken Word or Non-Musical Recording, 1986; Best Contemporary Folk Album, 1994; (with Rick Rubin) Best Country Album, 1997; Best Male Country Vocal Performance, 2000; Best Male Country Vocal Performance, 2002; Best Short Form Music Video, 2003; Country Music Association Awards, Album of the Year, 1968; Single of the Year, 1969; Album of the Year, 1969; (with June Carter-Cash) Vocal Group of the Year, 1969; Male Vocalist of the Year, 1969; Entertainer of the Year, 1969; Single of the Year, 2003; Album of the Year, 2003; Music Video of the Year, 2003; inducted into Country Music Hall of Fame, 1980; inducted into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, 1992; Songwriters Guild of America, Aggie Award (highest honor), 1989; National Medal of Honor, 2001.\nIn any event, Cash expanded his repertoire as the 1960s unfolded, incorporating folk music and protest themes. He recorded songs by folk-rock avatar Bob Dylan and up-and-comers like Kris Kristofferson, but by the end of the decade, driven perhaps by his generally out-of-control life, his hits came largely from novelty songs like Shel Silverstein's \"A Boy Named Sue.\" Even so, by 1969 Cash was the best-selling recording artist alive, outselling even rock legends The Beatles. That year saw him win two Grammy Awards for Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison, a live album for a worshipful audience of prisoners that led, perhaps inevitably, to Johnny Cash at San Quentin. From 1969 to 1971 he hosted a smash variety program for television, The Johnny Cash Show.\nThe 1970s saw more career triumphs, notably a Grammy-winning duet with Carter on Tim Hardin's \"If I Were a Carpenter,\" a command performance for President Richard Nixon, acting roles in film and on television, a best-selling autobiography, and several more hit albums, including Man in Black, the title of which would become his permanent show business moniker. While this label has been associated with his \"outlaw\" image, he and his bandmates originally wore black because they had nothing else that matched; besides, as Cash informed Entertainment Weekly, \"black is better for church.\"\nIn 1980 Cash was inducted into the Country Music Association Hall of Fame. He had become a music hero worldwide, appearing in eastern Europe before the fall of the Soviet empire and praising those who agitated for democracy. Yet during the 1980s, Cash became less and less of a priority for his record label; country music had come to be dominated by younger, pop-inclined artists who favored slick production. He continued to struggle with drugs, eventually checking into the Betty Ford clinic. There, he has said, he experienced a religious epiphany.\nNew Fame Through Collaborations\nCash wrote a novel, Man in White, about the life of the apostle Paul, and continued indulging his eclectic musical tastes, recording songs by mavericks like Elvis Costello. Alongside Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, and Waylon Jennings, he participated in a collaborative album, The Highwayman. He also joined Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and country-rock giant Roy Orbison for a reunion recording called Class of '55 (Memphis Rock & Roll Homecoming), which enjoyed solid sales. A daughter by his first marriage, Rosanne, became a country star in her own right; Johnny Cash, himself, even as his albums sold poorly, was firmly established as a living legend of country music and a profound influence on rock and roll. In 1992 he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and 1993 saw him contribute a vocal performance to Zooropa, by rock superstars U2.\nYet Cash tired of record-business priorities. \"I kept hearing about demographics [market studies of consumers] until it was coming out my ears,\" the singer told Christopher John Farley of Newsweek. The first label representative who seemed to understand him after this bitter experience was, ironically enough, best known for his work with hardcore rap, metal, and alternative acts. Rick Rubin had founded his own label, first called Def American and later changed to American Recordings, to support acts he believed in. Though not intimately acquainted with his work, he admired the Cash's artistic persona. \"I don't see him as a country act,\" Rubin told Farley. \"I would say he embodies rock 'n' roll. He's an outlaw figure, and that is the essence of what rock 'n' roll is.\"\nRubin's appeal to Cash lay in his idea for a record. After seeing one of the country legend's performances, the producer \"said he'd love to hear just me and my guitar,\" Cash told Los Angeles Times writer Robert Hilburn. These were the words the veteran artist had waited decades to hear; he had suggested such a minimal approach many times to country producers, only to have it vetoed immediately on commercial grounds. Rubin simply set up a tape machine in his Hollywood living room and allowed Cash to do what he does best.\nRubin \"was a lot like Sam [Phillips], actually,\" Cash ventured to Hilburn. \"We talked a lot about the approach we were going to take, and he said, 'You know, we are not going to think about time or money. I want you to come out as much as you can.\" Without such constraints\u2014which had clipped Cash's wings in his Nashville years\u2014he was free to experiment with a wide range of material. Recording over 70 songs, mostly at Rubin's house but also at his own cabin in Tennessee and at the trendy Los Angeles nightspot The Viper Room, Cash had a valedictory experience. He later told Time 's Farley that the work was his \"dream album.\"\nFirst American Recording\nThe material was culled to 13 tracks, including traditional songs, some Cash originals, and compositions by such diverse modern songwriters as Kristofferson, Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, Nick Lowe, Glenn Danzig, and Loudon Wainright III. The leadoff track, \"Delia's Gone,\" grimly describes the murder of a faithless woman; Rubin seemed to invite comparisons between Cash and the controversial metal and rap acts on his label. Titled American Recordings, the album was released in 1994; Johnny Cash was 62 years old. The liner notes contained testimonials from both Rubin and Cash. \"I think we made a brutally honest record,\" the producer declared. \"Working with Rick,\" Cash averred, \"all the experimenting, kinda spread me out and expanded my range of material. This is the best I can do as an artist, as a solo artist, this is it.\"\nCritics seemed to agree. Karen Schoemer of Mirabella praised it as \"a daring, deceptively simple album\" that \"operates on a mythic scale, which suits someone who's always been larger than life. What is breathtaking is Cash's ability to analyze his aging self, and the failures, weaknesses, strengths and wisdoms that time bestows.\" Village Voice critic Doug Simmons praised it as \"fiercely intimate,\" while Rolling Stone 's Anthony DeCurtis called it \"unquestionably one of his best albums,\" one which \"will earn him a time of well-deserved distinction in which his work will reach an eager new audience.\"\nWhile American Recordings didn't take the charts by storm, it restored Johnny Cash's sense of mission. It also earned him a 1995 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album. He played a sold-out engagement in Los Angeles just before his nomination, before an audience studded with such music stars as Tom Petty, Sheryl Crow, and Dwight Yoakam. And in September of 1996 he played a set at the CMJ Music Marathon in Manhattan, previewing songs from a new album, Unchained, as well as performing cover versions from younger artists such as Beck and Soundgarden.\nIn later years, health problems caused Cash to limit his touring schedule. He suffered from Shy-Drager's Syndrome, a degenerative nerve disease that can cause blackouts, tremors, muscle stiffness, and made him prone to pneumonia. He was hospitalized with pneumonia twice in 1998 and again in October 1999. Yet, as the 1990s waned and the millennium turned over, Cash\u2014approaching the end of his seventh decade\u2014returned to the recording studio and issued American III: Solitary Man in 2000; the title track from that album won a Grammy for Best Male Country Vocal Performance. Also in 2000 he compiled a three-disc retrospective boxed set, called Love, God, Murder. It was one of more than 100 retrospective packages that had been compiled since the 1950s. Indeed, 1999 alone saw the release of nearly two dozen Cash collections, and that year he was honored also with a lifetime achievement Grammy Award from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences.\nConnected With a Younger Generation\nAbout the prospect of an \"eager new audience\" Cash himself\u2014who seriously considered playing at the alternative-rock festival known as Lollapalooza before declining the offer\u2014was philosophical. \"I no longer have a grandiose attitude about my music being a powerful force for change,\" he told Entertainment Weekly. Even so, he allowed, \"I think [today's youth] sees the hypocrisy in government, the rotten core of social ills and poverty and prejudice, and I'm not afraid to say that's where the trouble is. A lot of people my age are.\" One thing remained constant, as he told Rolling Stone : \"I feel like if I can just go onstage with my guitar and sing my songs, I can't do no wrong no matter where I am.\"\nCash continued to reach this new audience with a fourth effort in the American Recordings series, American IV: The Man Comes Around. Once again, the legendary country singer delved into the works of younger artists like Depeche Mode's \"Personal Jesus\" and the Nine Inch Nails' \"Hurt.\" The latter song also became a popular video, launching the song onto the Modern Rock Tracks chart. The video, directed by Mark Romanek, earned six nominations at the 2003 Music Television (MTV) Awards, and won in the best cinematography category. American IV: The Man Comes Around rose to number two on the Top Country Albums chart and was certified gold in 2003.\nCash's success, however, was mingled with continued health problems and personal tragedy. June Carter Cash, his wife of 35 years, died of complications following heart surgery on May 15, 2003. \"After June died,\" friend Kris Kristofferson told People, \"life was a struggle for him. His daughter told me he cried every night.\" Cash was eager to attend the MTV Awards in August, but had been re-admitted to the hospital due to complications from diabetes. On September 12, 2003, almost four months after the death of his wife, Cash died. A memorial service, held at Hendersonville, North Carolina on September 15, 2003, was attended by friends, family, and his musical peers. \"He stood up for the underdogs, the downtrodden, the prisoners, the poor, and he was their champion,\" Kristofferson told People. \"He appealed to people all over the world.\"\nJohnny Cash with His Hot and Blue Guitar, Sun, 1957.\nThe Fabulous Johnny Cash, Columbia, 1958.\nBlood, Sweat and Tears, Columbia, 1963.\nRing of Fire, Columbia, 1963.\nI Walk the Line, Columbia, 1964.\nBitter Tears: Ballads of the American Indian, Columbia, 1964.\nOrange Blossom Special, Columbia, 1965.\nMean As Hell, Columbia, 1966.\nJohnny Cash at Folsom Prison, Columbia, 1968.\nThe Holy Land, Columbia, 1969.\nJohnny Cash at San Quentin, Columbia, 1969.\nShow Time with the Tennessee Two, Sun, 1970.\nStory Songs of Trains and Rivers with the Tennessee Two, Sun, 1970.\nHello, I'm Johnny Cash, Columbia, 1970.\nThe World of Johnny Cash, Columbia, 1970.\nSinging Storyteller with the Tennessee Two, Sun, 1970.\n(With June Carter) Jackson, Columbia, 1970.\nRough Cut King of Country Music, Sun, 1970.\nMan in Black, Columbia, 1971.\n(With Jerry Lee Lewis) Johnny Cash Sings Hank Williams, Sun, 1971.\nA Thing Called Love, Columbia, 1972.\nFolsom Prison Blues, Columbia, 1972.\n(With Carter)Give My Love to Rose, Harmony, 1972.\nAmerica, Columbia, 1972.\nAny Old Wind That Blows, Columbia, 1973.\nI Walk the Line, Nash, 1973.\n(With Carter) Johnny Cash and His Woman, Columbia, 1973.\nRagged Old Flag, Columbia, 1974.\nJunkie and Juicehead, Columbia, 1974.\nJohn R.

He has also reached a substantial audience of rock fans, thanks to his outlaw persona, deep, authoritative voice, and dark songs like \u201cFolsom Prison Blues.\u201d After enjoying a string of hits in the 1950s and even greater success in the late 1960s, when he was briefly the best-selling recording artist in the world, he saw his edgy, close-to-the-bone style go out of fashion. Even as his 1980s work was neglected, however, he appeared before adoring throngs worldwide. In 1994, well past his sixtieth birthday, he came roaring back with a sparsely recorded album that ranked among his best work and earned him a Grammy Award. \u201cCan you name anyone in this day and age who is as cool as Johnny Cash?\u201d asked Rolling Stone rhetorically. \u201cNo, you can\u2019t.\u201d\nJ. R. Cash was born into an impoverished Arkansas family in 1932 and grew up working in the cotton fields. His Baptist upbringing meant that the music he heard was almost entirely religious, and the hymns sung by\nBorn J. R.

Record company \u2014American Recordings, 3500 West Olive, Burbank, CA 91505.\ncountry greats like the Carter Family and Ernest Tubb reached him on the radio and made an indelible impression. \u201cFrom the time I was a little boy,\u201d he recollected to Steve Pond in a 1992 Rolling Stone interview, \u201cI never had any doubt that I was gonna be singing on the radio.\u201d His brother Roy formed a band when he was young, increasing John\u2019s determination to do the same one day.\nCash had no idea, though, what path would lead him to his destiny. He held a few odd jobs after graduating from Dyess High School in 1950, but eventually opted for a four-year stay in the Air Force. Stationed in Germany, he endured what he would later describe as a lonely, miserable period. Fortunately, he learned to play the guitar and began turning the poetry he\u2019d been writing into song lyrics. After seeing a powerful film about Folsom Prison, he sat down to write what would become one of his signature songs\u2014\u201cFolsom Prison Blues.\u201d His empathy for prisoners and other marginalized people would consistently inform his work. With his powerful position in a generally conservative musical world, he also championed Native American rights and other social ills.\nCash left the military in 1954 and married Vivian Liberto, whom he met before joining the air force; they had corresponded throughout his tour of duty. The two lived in Memphis, Tennessee, and he earned a meager living selling appliances. \u201cI was the worst salesman in the world,\u201d Cash confided to Pond. Nonetheless, he summoned the passion to sell himself as a singer, playing with a gospel group and canvassing radio stations for chances to perform on the air.\nEventually Cash was granted an audience with trailblaz-ing producer Sam Phillips, at whose Sun Studios the likes of Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and others made recordings that would help change the course of popular music. Phillips was a hard sell, but Cash won the opportunity to record his first single; \u201cCry, Cry, Cry\u201d became a number 14 hit in 1955, and Cash\u2019s group played some local gigs with Presley. Pond describes Cash\u2019s early records as \u201cstark, unsettling and totally original. The instrumentation was spare, almost rudimentary\u201d featuring bass and lead guitar supplied by his Tennessee Two and Cash\u2019s rhythm guitar, which had \u201ca piece of paper stuck underneath the top frets to give it a scratchy sound.\u201d\nIn 1956 Cash left his sales job and recorded the hits \u201cFolsom Prison Blues\u201d \u2014containing the legendary and much-quoted lyric \u201cI shot a man in Reno just to watch him die\u201d\u2014and \u201cI Walk the Line.\u201d The next year saw the release of the one album released by Sun before his departure from the label, Johnny Cash With His Hot & Blue Guitar. He and the Tennessee Two left the label after a string of hits and signed with CBS/Columbia Records in 1958. Singles he recorded on Sun at Phil-lips\u2019s insistence just before his contract lapsed continued to chart for years afterward, much to Cash\u2019s chagrin. Yet he charted on CBS as well with a bevy of singles and such albums as Blood, Sweat and Tears and Ring of Fire.\nIn the midst of his success, however, Cash grew apart from Vivian and their children. He grew dependent on drink and drugs and became increasingly dissolute. Such misery no doubt contributed force to such work as 1963\u2019s \u201cRing of Fire,\u201d which was cowritten by June Carter, who also performed on the track. Cash and Carter\u2014of the famed Carter family\u2014became increasingly close, both professionally and personally. His marriage collapsed in 1966 and he nearly died of an overdose. Cash has long attributed his subsequent rehabilitation to two factors: Carter and God. He and Carter wed in 1968 and later had a son, John.\nIn any event, Cash expanded his repertoire as the 1960s unfolded, incorporating folk music and protest themes. He recorded songs by folk-rock avatar Bob Dylan and up-and-comers like Kris Kristofferson, but by the end of the decade, driven perhaps by his generally out-of-control life, his hits came largely from novelty songs like Shel Silverstein\u2019s \u201cA Boy Named Sue.\u201d Even so, by 1969 Cash was the best-selling recording artist alive, outselling even rock legends The Beatles. That year saw him win two Grammy Awards for Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison, a live album for a worshipful audience of prisoners that led, perhaps inevitably, to Johnny Cash at San Quentin. From 1969 to 1971 he hosted a smash variety program for television, The Johnny Cash Show.\nThe 1970s saw more career triumphs, notably a Grammy-winning duet with Carter on Tim Hardin\u2019s \u201cIf I Were a Carpenter,\u201d a command performance for President Richard Nixon, acting roles in film and on television, a best-selling autobiography, and several more hit albums, including Man in Black, the title of which would become his permanent show business moniker. While this label has been associated with his \u201coutlaw\u201d image, he and his bandmates originally wore black because they had nothing else that matched; besides, as Cash informed Entertainment Weekly, \u201cblack is better for church.\u201d\nCash wrote a novel, Man in White, about the life of the apostle Paul, and continued indulging his eclectic musical tastes, recording songs by mavericks like Elvis Costello. Alongside Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, and Waylon Jennings, he participated in a collaborative album, The Highwayman; he also joined Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and country-rock giant Roy Orbi-son for a reunion recording called Class of \u201955 (Memphis Rock & Roll Homecoming), which enjoyed solid sales. A daughter by his first marriage, Rosanne, became a country star in her own right; Johnny Cash, himself, even as his albums sold poorly, was firmly established as a living legend of country music and a profound influence on rock and roll. In 1992 he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and 1993 saw him contribute a vocal performance to Zooropa, by rock superstars U2.\nYet Cash tired of record-business priorities. \u201cI kept hearing about demographics [market studies of consumers] until it was coming out my ears,\u201d the singer told Christopher John Farley of Newsweek. The first label representative who seemed to understand him after this bitter experience was, ironically enough, best known for his work with hardcore rap, metal, and alternative acts. Rick Rubin had founded his own label, first called Def American and later changed to American Recordings, to support acts he believed in. Though not intimately acquainted with his work, he admired the Cash\u2019s artistic persona. \u201cI don\u2019t see him as a country act,\u201d Rubin told Farley. \u201cI would say he embodiesrock\u2018n\u2019roll. He\u2019sanoutlaw figure, and that is the essence of what rock \u2018n\u2019 roll is.\u201d\nRubin\u2019s appeal to Cash lay in his idea for a record. After seeing one of the country legend\u2019s performances, the producer \u201csaid he\u2019d love to hear just me and my guitar,\u201d Cash told Los Angeles Times writer Robert Hilburn. These were the words the veteran artist had waited decades to hear; he had suggested such a minimal approach many times to country producers, only to have it vetoed immediately on commercial grounds. Rubin simply set up a tape machine in his Hollywood living room and allowed Cash to do what he does best.\nRubin \u201cwas a lot like Sam [Phillips], actually,\u201d Cash ventured to Hilburn. \u201cWe talked a lot about the approach we were going to take, and he said, \u2018You know, we are not going to think about time or money. I want you to come out as much as you can.\u201d Without such constraints\u2014which had clipped Cash\u2019s wings in his Nashville years\u2014he was free to experiment with a wide range of material. Recording over 70 songs, mostly at Rubin\u2019s house but also at his own cabin in Tennessee and at the trendy Los Angeles nightspot The Viper Room, Cash had a valedictory experience. He later told Time\u2019s Farley that the work was his \u201cdream album.\u201d\nThe material was culled to 13 tracks, including traditional songs, some Cash originals, and compositions by such diverse modern songwriters as Kristofferson, Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, Nick Lowe, Glenn Danzig, and Loudon Wainright III. The leadoff track, \u201cDelia\u2019s Gone,\u201d grimly describes the murder of a faithless woman; Rubin seemed to invite comparisons between Cash and the controversial metal and rap acts on his label. Titled American Recordings, the album was released in 1994; Johnny Cash was 62 years old. The liner notes contained testimonials from both Rubin and Cash. \u201cI think we made a brutally honest record,\u201d the producer declared. \u201cWorking with Rick,\u201d Cash averred, \u201call the experimenting, kinda spread me out and expanded my range of material. This is the best I can do as an artist, as a solo artist, this is it.\u201d\nCritics seemed to agree. Karen Schoemer of Mirabella praised it as \u201ca daring, deceptively simple album\u201d that \u201coperates on a mythic scale, which suits someone who\u2019s always been larger than life. What is breathtaking is Cash\u2019s ability to analyze his aging self, and the failures, weaknesses, strengths and wisdoms that time bestows.\u201d Village Voice critic Doug Simmons praised it as \u201cfiercely intimate,\u201d while Rolling Stone\u2019s Anthony DeCurtis called it \u201cunquestionably one of his best albums,\u201d one which \u201cwill earn him a time of well-deserved distinction in which his work will reach an eager new audience.\u201d\nWhile American Recordings didn\u2019t take the charts by storm, it restored Johnny Cash\u2019s sense of mission. It also earned him a 1995 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album. He played a sold-out engagement in Los Angeles just before his nomination, before an audience studded with such music stars as Tom Petty, Sheryl Crow, and Dwight Yoakam.\nAbout the prospect of an \u201ceager new audience\u201d Cash himself\u2014who seriously considered playing at the alternative-rock festival known as Lollapalooza before declining the offer\u2014was philosophical. \u201cI nolongerhavea grandiose attitude about my music being a powerful force for change,\u201d he told Entertainment Weekly.

Retrieved February 14, 2019 from Encyclopedia.com: https://www.encyclopedia.com/education/news-wires-white-papers-and-books/cash-johnny\nFor more than thirty years the craggy-faced Johnny Cash has been one of America\u2019s most popular country singers. Cash\u2019s appeal has even extended beyond the bounds of country and western music to embrace pop, blues, and folk audiences who often reject the pure country sound. A member of the Country Music Hall of Fame since 1980, Cash is renowned for his combination of rural music traditions\u2014especially gospel and ballads\u2014with innovation and experimentation from a number of contemporary sources.\nAdditionally, critics of modern music have noted that Cash\u2019s performances are greatly enhanced by his carefully-crafted stage persona, based on a pastiche of rough-hewn backwoodsmen from a bygone era. In Johnny Cash, writes Henry Pleasants in The Great American Popular Singers, \u201cthe artist is the man rather than the art\u2026. The man\u2014the life story, the successes, the humiliations, the disasters, the fascinating juxtaposition of the sinister and the charming, the suggestion of unpredictability\u2014is an attractive figure.\u201d\nPleasants also comments that possibly more important \u201cis the figure he seems to represent: the frontier American\u2026. Johnny Cash entered upon the musical scene at a moment in history when America \u2026 had grown unsure of itself and its direction. It looked back nostalgically to a time when life was simpler, closer to nature, less tortured by tempo and doubt. Johnny had sprung from a backwater of that earlier environment, and he revived it in song as had no previous singer.\u201d In The Best of the Music Makers, George T. Simon characterizes Cash as \u201ca man of experience and magnetism who, for years, has conveyed to millions the truth and emotion of country music.\u201d\nCash was born in Kingsland, Arkansas, February 26, 1932, the fourth of seven children of Ray and Carrie Cash. Although the Great Depression hit hard in Arkansas, it is unfair to describe the Cash family as poverty-stricken. In 1935 they moved to Dyess, Arkansas, where they worked together to grow cotton. Eventually, through hard labor and frugality, they prospered to the extent that they were able to buy the forty-acre farm on which they lived.\nJohnny Cash grew up in a charismatic religious environment\u2014he is descended on both sides from Baptist missionaries and preachers\u2014and gospel music was a staple in the home. When he was four his parents bought a battery-powered radio (Dyess had no electricity), and the youngster was exposed to such country music pioneers as the Carter Family, Jimmie Rodgers, and Ernest Tubb. In Stars of Country Music, Frederick E.

Cash graduated from Dyess High School in 1950 and worked briefly in a Pontiac, Michigan, auto plant and an Arkansas oleomargarine factory before joining the Air Force for a four-year stint. He was stationed in Germany, and it was there that he learned to play the guitar. He had long written poetry, but in Germany, with the help of some friends, he began turning his verses into songs.\nAfter he was discharged in 1954 he married Vivian Liberto and settled in Memphis, where he sold electrical appliances door-to-door. Pleasants suggests that had Cash been a more successful salesman he might never have become a professional entertainer. In 1954 he teamed with two new friends, Marshall Grant and Luther Perkins, to form a small gospel band. They played informally for several months, then Cash\u2019s financial situation impelled him to try to find a recording contract\u2014or at least some profitable gigs.\nLuckily, an innovative producer named Sam Phillips was living in Memphis at the time; his Sun record label had introduced Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Roy Orbison, to name a few. Cash approached Phillips early in 1955 for an audition. He was denied a contract but given some valuable advice, namely to retire his gospel repertoire and work in a commercial vein. Several months later Johnny Cash and the Tennessee Two returned to the Sun studios with new material, and Phillips put them under contract.\nSuccess came quickly after that. The band\u2019s first single, \u201cCry, Cry, Cry,\u201d was a regional hit. The next year, 1956, Cash and the Tennessee Two had a dual country and pop hit with \u201cI Walk the Line,\u201d also recorded on the Sun label. According to Gene Busnar in Superstars of Country Music, Cash\u2019s career \u201ctook off. In the years to come he would sell tens of millions of records, host his own prime-time television show, star in movies, and secure a position as one of the true superstars of country music.\u201d Busnar makes another point, however: \u201cToo often fame and fortune can create more problems than they solve. For a long time, Johnny Cash\u2019s success was little more than a heavy cross to bear.\u201d\nThat statement may be an exaggeration, but it is certain that drug abuse almost claimed Cash\u2019s life in the mid-1960s. In 1958 he resigned from his regular appearance on Nashville\u2019s Grand Ole Opry\u2014considered the pinnacle of the country music profession\u2014in favor of national touring and mainstream television appearances. The decision was a sound one artistically, but the physical and emotional toll of constant travel was severe. Cash began to take amphetamines and barbiturates; he and his band members pulled pranks and sometimes wound up in scrapes with the law as they moved from show to show across the country.\nFor seven years Cash was addicted to dangerous drugs; his first marriage ended in 1966, his voice began to fail, and at one point his weight dropped from 200 to 153 pounds. He was cared for on more than one occasion by June Carter, whose group, the Carter Family, toured with him. Finally, an almost-fatal overdose scared him into a series of rehabilitation programs. He married Carter in 1968 and credited her\u2014and his renewed Christian faith\u2014with his salvation.\nIronically, Cash\u2019s struggles with substance abuse had little effect on the quality of his music. Not only was the singer able to keep his band and his backup troupe constant throughout the period, he also managed to make \u201ckey achievements in repertory expansion, recording activity, and road-show innovations,\u201d observed Danker. Cash reached beyond the country tradition into folk and blues, performed \u201cmessage music\u201d about the plight of Native Americans and prison inmates, and recorded songs written by such maverick artists as Kris Kristofferson and Bob Dylan.\nBusnar concluded that Cash \u201cachieved a national recognition by the end of the sixties that was unmatched in country music history.\u201d A 1968 live album, At Folsom Prison, afforded Cash his biggest crossover success. As its title suggests, the album was recorded before an audience of prisoners; Danker maintains that the work reveals \u201cthe finest troupe and most polished road show\u201d ever mounted in country music. At Folsom Prison propelled Cash to the top of the Country Music Association Awards in 1969. He won \u201cbest male vocalist,\u201d \u201centertainer of the year,\u201d \u201cbest single,\u201d \u201cbest album,\u201d an \u201coutstanding service\u201d award, and, with Carter, \u201cbest vocal group.\u201d From 1969 until 1971 he hosted his own television variety show, and when that was cancelled he returned to touring with Carter and his friend Carl Perkins, who had joined his retinue in 1966.\nCash has also written books and starred in films. His 1975 autobiography, Man in Black, sold 250,000 hardcover copies, and his 1986 novel Man in White, about Saint Paul, has been optioned for a movie. Cash\u2019s own movie roles, including \u201cA Gunfight\u201d and \u201cStagecoach,\u201d capitalize on the same image that he projects in concert, an image People magazine contributor Andrea Chambers described as \u201cscarred \u2026 like a strip-mined Appalachian mountainside, \u2026 dark and somber, \u2026 [with a] deep, rumbling voice that would rather converse with God or the dogwoods than almost anybody else.\u201d\nAssessments of Cash\u2019s talent highlight two characteristics of the charismatic \u201cMan in Black.\u201d First, he writes much of his own material, drawing on his own past, his nation\u2019s mythic Western history, social problems, family and romantic love, and religious faith. Danker contends that this highly personal style of writing-performing \u201ccontinues as one of country music\u2019s distinctive features\u201d through the efforts of artists like Cash.\nSecond, Cash\u2019s unusually deep voice and his mix of singing and speaking in his tunes has produced an original\u2014and subsequently much-imitated\u2014style. \u201cWith Johnny Cash, as with other country and blues singers, the context is oratorical rather than melodic or harmotic,\u201d writes Pleasants. \u201cThe lyric is more important than the tune. Since the singer is working closer to the less precise intonation and inflections of speech, imprecision in the identification and articulation of pitches becomes, if not necessarily a virtue, at least a compatible idiosyncrasy.\u201d\nTo put it succinctly, Cash sings with his soul as well as his voice, and the resulting gravelly baritone can sustain the moods of a surprising variety of songs. Now into his third decade as a performer, Cash gives more than seventy-five concerts a year. He still struggles with the seductive dangers of substance abuse but is helped by the concern of his wife, his four daughters, his son, and numerous grandchildren. \u201cI had some bad old days,\u201d Cash told People.\u201dI always remember that God forgives, though, and one of the worst things you can do is not to forgive yourself.\u201d\nRide This Train, Columbia, 1960.\nBlood, Sweat, and Tears, Columbia, 1963.\nBallads of the True West, Columbia, 1965.\nEverybody Loves a Nut, Columbia, 1966.\nGreatest Hits: Volume I, Columbia, 1967.\nCarrying on with June Carter, Columbia, 1967.\nFrom Sea to Shining Sea, Columbia, 1968.\nAt Folsom Prison, Columbia, 1968.\nOld Golden Throat, Columbia, 1968.\nHoly Land, Columbia, 1969.\nAt San Quentin, Columbia, 1969.\nHello, I\u2019m Johnny Cash, Columbia, 1970.\nLittle Fauss and Big Halsy, Columbia, 1970.\nSunday Down South with Jerry Lee Lewis, Sun, 1970.\nShow, Columbia, 1971.\nCollections: Great Hits Volume II, Columbia, 1971.\nJohnny Cash Sings Precious Memories, Columbia, 1975.\nLook at Them Beans, Columbia, 1975.\nI Would Like to See You Again, Columbia, 1978.\nGone Girl, Columbia, 1978.\nJohnny Cash\u2019s Greatest Hits: Volume III, Columbia, 1979.\nRockabilly Blues, Columbia, 1980.\n(With Lewis and Carl Perkins) The Survivors, Columbia, 1982.\n(With Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and Kris Kristofferson) Highwayman, Columbia, 1985.\nClassic Cash, Columbia, 1986.\n(With Jennings) Heroes, Columbia, 1986.\n(With Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynn, Roy Orbison, and Tom Petty) The Traveling Wilburys, 1988 .\nMan in Black (autobiography), Zondervan, 1975.\nMan in White (novel), Harper & Row, 1986.\nBusnar, Gene, Superstars of Country Music, J.

In the 1990s he broke through to a younger, more alternative audience, performing songs by Soundgarden, Beck, and others.\nHe has also reached a substantial audience of rock fans, thanks to his outlaw persona, deep, authoritative voice, and dark songs like \"Folsom Prison Blues.\" After enjoying a string of hits in the 1950s and even greater success in the late 1960s, when he was briefly the best-selling recording artist in the world, he saw his edgy, close-to-the-bone style go out of fashion. Even as his 1980s work was neglected, however, he appeared before adoring throngs worldwide. In 1994, well past his sixtieth birthday, he came roaring back with a sparsely recorded album that ranked among his best work and earned him a Grammy Award. \"Can you name anyone in this day and age who is as cool as Johnny Cash?\" asked Rolling Stone rhetorically. \"No, you can't.\"\nJ. R. Cash was born into an impoverished Arkansas family in 1932 and grew up working in the cotton fields. His Baptist upbringing meant that the music he heard was almost entirely religious, and the hymns sung by country greats like the Carter Family and Ernest Tubb reached him on the radio and made an indelible impression. \"From the time I was a little boy,\" he recollected to Steve Pond in a 1992 Rolling Stone interview, \"I never had any doubt that I was gonna be singing on the radio.\" His brother Roy formed a band when he was young, increasing John's determination to do the same one day.\nPlays with Presley\nEventually Cash was granted an audience with trail-blazing producer Sam Phillips, at whose Sun Studios the likes of Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and others made recordings that would help change the course of popular music. Phillips was a hard sell, but Cash won the opportunity to record his first single; \"Cry, Cry, Cry\" became a number 14 hit in 1955, and Cash's group played some local gigs with Presley. Pond describes Cash's early records as \"stark, unsettling and totally original. The instrumentation was spare, almost rudimentary\" featuring bass and lead guitar supplied by his Tennessee Two and Cash's rhythm guitar, which had \"a piece of paper stuck underneath the top frets to give it a scratchy sound.\"\nIn the midst of his success, however, Cash grew apart from Vivian and their children. He grew dependent on drink and drugs and became increasingly dissolute. Such misery no doubt contributed force to such work as 1963's \"Ring of Fire,\" which was co-written by June Carter, who also performed on the track. Cash and Carter\u2014of the famed Carter family\u2014became increasingly close, both professionally and personally. His marriage collapsed in 1966 and he nearly died of an overdose. Cash has long attributed his subsequent rehabilitation to two factors: Carter and God. He and Carter wed in 1968 and later had a son, John.\nCash Sells\nCash wrote a novel, Man in White, about the life of the apostle Paul, and continued indulging his eclectic musical tastes, recording songs by mavericks like Elvis Costello. Alongside Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, and Waylon Jennings, he participated in a collaborative album, The Highwayman; he also joined Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and country-rock giant Roy Orbison for a reunion recording called Class of '55 (Memphis Rock & Roll Homecoming), which enjoyed solid sales. A daughter by his first marriage, Rosanne, became a country star in her own right; Johnny Cash, himself, even as his albums sold poorly, was firmly established as a living legend of country music and a profound influence on rock and roll. In 1992 he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and 1993 saw him contribute a vocal performance to Zooropa, by rock superstars U2.\nYet Cash tired of record-business priorities. \"I kept hearing about demographics [market studies of consumers] until it was coming out my ears,\" the singer told Christopher John Farley of Newsweek. The first label representative who seemed to understand him after this bitter experience was, ironically enough, best known for his work with hardcore rap, metal, and alternative acts. Rick Rubin had founded his own label, first called Def American and later changed to American Recordings, to support acts he believed in. Though not intimately acquainted with Cash's work, he admired the singer's artistic persona. \"I don't see him as a country act,\" Rubin told Farley. \"I would say he embodies rock 'n' roll. He's an outlaw figure, and that is the essence of what rock 'n' roll is.\"\nRubin \"was a lot like Sam [Phillips], actually,\" Cash ventured to Hilburn. \"We talked a lot about the approach we were going to take, and he said, 'You know, we are not going to think about time or money. I want you to come out as much as you can.\" Without such constraints\u2014which had clipped Cash's wings in his Nashville years\u2014he was free to experiment with a wide range of material. Recording over 70 songs, mostly at Rubin's house but also at his own cabin in Tennessee and at the trendy Los Angeles nightspot The Viper Room, Cash had a valedictory experience. He later told Time' s Farley that the work was his \"dream album.\"\nCritics seemed to agree. Karen Schoemer of Mirabella praised it as \"a daring, deceptively simple album\" that \"operates on a mythic scale, which suits someone who's always been larger than life. What is breathtaking is Cash's ability to analyze his aging self, and the failures, weaknesses, strengths and wisdoms that time bestows.\" Village Voice critic Doug Simmons praised it as \"fiercely intimate,\" while Rolling Stone's Anthony DeCurtis called it \"unquestionably one of his best albums,\" one which \"will earn him a time of well-deserved distinction in which his work will reach an eager new audience.\"\nWhile American Recordings didn't take the charts by storm, it restored Johnny Cash's sense of mission. It also earned him a 1995 Grammy Award for best contemporary folk album. He played a sold-out engagement in Los Angeles just before his nomination, before an audience studded with such music stars as Tom Petty, Sheryl Crow, and Dwight Yoakam. And in September of 1996 he played a set at the CMJ Music Marathon in Manhattan, previewing songs from his album Unchained as well as performing cover versions from younger artists such as Beck and Soundgarden.\nAbout the prospect of an \"eager new audience\" Cash himself\u2014who seriously considered playing at the alternative-rock festival known as Lollapalooza before declining the offer\u2014was philosophical. \"I no longer have a grandiose attitude about my music being a powerful force for change,\" he told Entertainment Weekly. Even so, he allowed, \"I think [today's youth] sees the hypocrisy in government, the rotten core of social ills and poverty and prejudice, and I'm not afraid to say that's where the trouble is. A lot of people my age are.\" One thing remained constant, as he told Rolling Stone: \"I feel like if I can just go onstage with my guitar and sing my songs, I can't do no wrong no matter where I am.\"\nVillage Voice, May 18, 1994. \u25a1\n\"Johnny Cash.\" Encyclopedia of World Biography. .

Cash; Kingsland, Arkansas, 26 February 1932; died Nashville, Tennessee, 12 September 2003\nBest-selling album since 1990: American Recordings (1994)\nHit songs since 1990: \"Rusty Cage,\" \"Delia's Gone\"\nJohnny Cash always defied easy categorization, his chugging rhythms and vivid stories of murder and heartache falling just outside the boundaries of folk, country, and rock and roll. This, coupled with his \"Man in Black\" outlaw persona, ensured that a new generation discovered him in each decade of his nearly fifty-year career. The 1990s were no exception: After a string of slick and uninspired records, he joined forces with rock and hip-hop producer Rick Rubin for the American Recordings series. The records focused on his haunting baritone and introduced him to an audience weaned on the dark balladry and traditional stylings of alternative country.\nToughness and Rebellion\nJohnny Cash began writing songs as a teenager in Arkansas, but did not immediately set off on a music career. He went to college, worked in a factory, and served in the U.S. Air Force before moving to Memphis in 1954 for a radio broadcasting course. He began to play in a country trio with guitarist Luther Perkins and landed a recording contract with the legendary rock and roll label Sun Records the following year. His first single, \"Cry Cry Cry,\" an immediate success, kicked off a frenzied schedule of touring and recording that lasted until the mid-1960s. His songs combine the immediacy of rock and roll with the blunt honesty of country, as well as deep respect for the traditions of American music. Cash crossed over onto the pop charts, angered the Nashville establishment with his rebelliousness, and won the hearts of the downtrodden classes often venerated in his songs.\nBy the mid-1960s, alcohol and amphetamines had taken a toll on his creativity, and Cash was considered washed up. He was saved by June Carter, a singer who co-wrote his comeback hit \"Ring of Fire.\" She helped him to beat his addictions and convert to fundamentalist Christianity; the pair married in 1968. With his soul and career recharged, Cash entered another fertile period, releasing his two most popular albums, the live prison recordings Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison (1968) and Johnny Cash at San Quentin (1969). His popularity surging, he found favor with a younger rock audience as a guest on Bob Dylan's Nashville Skyline (1969), and burst headlong into the mainstream with The Johnny Cash Show, a television program for ABC that ran for two years.\nCash remained a presence on the country charts with a string of hits throughout the 1970s. The 1980s, however, found him at odds with his record company over the direction of his music\u2014they preferred the slick, pop-oriented Nashville style, and his voice never fit that mold. Despite minor success with the Highwaymen (a supergroup formed with fellow country singer/songwriters Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson), fans and critics generally agree his recorded output from the period lacks the vibrancy of his prior work.\nIn 1994 Cash signed to American Records, the label owned by Rick Rubin, a legendary figure credited with co-founding the first major hip-hop label, Def Jam Records, and producing edgy rock bands like Red Hot Chili Peppers and Slayer. Rubin stripped away the sheen of Cash's later work, and encouraged him to return to the tough storytelling of his early hits. The result, titled American Recordings (1994), features Cash's roughhewn voice, a lone acoustic guitar for accompaniment, and a strong collection of stark and often brutal songs. The spare production recalls a wind-blown road in a ghost town, creating an atmosphere that heightens the rich and haunting baritone of the singer. \"Delia's Gone,\" a novelistic tale of love and murder gone wrong, was a minor hit on college radio and introduced Cash to an audience that preferred the hard-edged authenticity of punk and alternative rock to current pop and country music. The record won a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album, and the latest Cash renaissance kicked off in earnest.\nCash and Rubin followed up the somber American Recordings with Unchained (1996), a more full-bodied affair that found the singer backed up by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. The result is a looser album, with Cash running through an array of styles, from muscular traditional country tunes like \"The Kneeling Drunkard's Plea\" to angsty heavy metal on \"Rusty Cage.\" Continuing in this playful vein, Cash teamed up with Willie Nelson for VH1 Storytellers (1998), a live album recorded for the cable music network. The set finds the pair running through their most beloved songs, relating the story of their respective origins. The album is a warm and relaxed affair, with each performer nicely accompanying the other.\nCash and Rubin returned to their ongoing project in 2000 with American III: Solitary Man, which merged the approaches of the first two albums. Here, the bleak and lonely ballads are partnered with rocking band-oriented material. Once again, the more striking songs are the covers of recent material, including an interpretation of U2's soaring \"One,\" and a devout version of the hymnal \"I See a Darkness,\" sung with its writer, Will Oldham of Palace. He also uncovers the distress and doubt lurking beneath the title track, originally a hit for its writer, singer/songwriter Neil Diamond. More than any album in the series, American III displays Cash's strengths as the ultimate outsider, able to interpret a musical form and make it his own. As always, his themes of faith, loss, and revenge leave no doubt that he is a master singer.\nAmerican IV: The Man Comes Around was released in 2002 amid reports of Cash's failing health. His voice sounds weary on the record, which intensifies the anguished delivery of covers like Depeche Mode's \"Personal Jesus\" and Simon and Garfunkel's \"Bridge Over Troubled Water.\" The pop standard \"We'll Meet Again\" closes the record, signaling a kind of defiance in the face of death that only Cash is capable of pulling off convincingly. The song emphasizes why Cash is among the most American of musical figures\u2014his only truly defining characteristics are his resolute toughness and rebellion. The American Recordings series provides a perfect cap to his career, charting the obsessions of emotion and music that make him one of this country's most valuable musicians.

Born to a farm family, he went to Memphis in 1955 and recorded such hits as \"I Walk the Line\" (1956) and \"Ring of Fire\" (1963); the latter was written with his second wife, singer June Carter Cash of the Carter family country music dynasty. A major figure in country and western music, Cash lent a unique note of grace and gravitas to the genre with his all-black wardrobe redolent of rebellion and mourning, his rumbling bass-baritone voice, and the often tragic subject matter of his songs. The recording of his January, 1968, concert at Folsom Prison is one of his greatest and most profound albums, but one of his biggest hits was the humorous \"A Boy Named Sue\" (1969).

He also reached a substantial audience of rock fans, thanks to his charismatic outlaw persona, deep, authoritative voice, and dark songs like \"Folsom Prison Blues.\" After enjoying a string of hits in the 1950s and even greater success in the late 1960s, when he was briefly the bestselling recording artist in the world, Cash saw his edgy, close-to-the-bone style eventually go out of fashion. Even as his 1980s work was neglected, however, he retained a strong and loyal fan base worldwide. In 1994, well past his sixtieth birthday, Cash came roaring back with a sparsely recorded album that ranked among his best work and earned him a Grammy award. \"Can you name anyone in this day and age who is as cool as Johnny Cash?\" asked a writer for Rolling Stone rhetorically. \"No, you can't.\"\nCash was born into an impoverished Arkansas family in 1932 and grew up working in the cotton fields. His Baptist upbringing meant that the music he heard was almost entirely religious, and the hymns sung by country greats like the Carter Family and Ernest Tubb reached him on the radio and made an indelible impression. \"From the time I was a little boy,\" he recollected to Steve Pond in a Rolling Stone interview, \"I never had any doubt that I was gonna be singing on the radio.\" His brother Roy formed a band when he was young, increasing Johnny's determination to do the same one day.\nCash had no idea, though, what path would lead him to his destiny. He held a few odd jobs after graduating from Dyess High School in 1950, but eventually opted for a four-year stay in the U.S. Air Force. Stationed in Germany, he endured what he would later describe as a lonely, miserable period. Fortunately, he learned to play the guitar and began turning the poetry he had been writing into song lyrics. After viewing a powerful film about Folsom Prison, he sat down to write what would become one of his signature songs, \"Folsom Prison Blues.\" Cash's empathy for prisoners and other marginalized people would consistently inform his work. With his powerful position in a generally conservative musical world, he also championed Native American rights and spoke out against various social ills.\nCash left the military in 1954 and married Vivian Liberto, whom he had met before joining the Air Force; they had corresponded throughout his tour of duty. The two lived in Memphis, Tennessee,\nwhere Cash earned a meager living selling appliances. \"I was the worst salesman in the world,\" he confided to Pond. Nonetheless, he summoned the passion to sell himself as a singer, playing with a gospel group and canvassing radio stations for chances to perform on the air.\nMakes First Recording\nEventually, Cash was granted an audience with trailblazing producer Sam Phillips, at whose Sun Studios the likes of Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and others made recordings that changed the course of popular music. Phillips was a hard sell, but Cash won the opportunity to record his first single, and \"Cry, Cry, Cry\" became a number 14 hit in 1955. Cash's group, the Tennessee Two, also played some local gigs with Presley. Pond describes Cash's early records as \"stark, unsettling and totally original. The instrumentation was spare, almost rudimentary,\" featuring bass and lead guitar supplied by the Tennessee Two and Cash's rhythm guitar, which had \"a piece of paper stuck underneath the top frets to give it a scratchy sound.\"\nIn 1956 Cash left his sales job and recorded the hits \"Folsom Prison Blues\"\u2014containing the legendary and much-quoted lyric \"I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die\"\u2014and \"I Walk the Line.\" The next year saw the release of the one album released by Sun before Cash's departure from the label, Johnny Cash with His Hot and Blue Guitar. Cash and the Tennessee Two left the label after a string of hits and signed with CBS/Columbia Records in 1958; interestingly, singles he recorded on Sun at Phillips's insistence just before his contract lapsed continued to chart for years afterward, much to Cash's chagrin. Yet he charted on CBS as well with a bevy of singles and such albums as Blood, Sweat, and Tears and Ring of Fire.\nTurns to God\nIn the midst of his success, however, Cash grew apart from Vivian and their children. He also grew dependent on alcohol and drugs, and his on-the-road lifestyle became increasingly dissolute. Such misery no doubt contributed force to such work as 1963's \"Ring of Fire,\" which was co-written by musician June Carter, who also performed on the track. Cash and Carter, a scion of the famed musical Carter Family\u2014became increasingly close, both professionally and personally. By 1966 Cash's marriage had collapsed, and that year he nearly died of an overdose. Cash attributed his subsequent rehabilitation to two factors: Carter and God. He and Carter wed in 1968 and later had a son, John.\nCash expanded his repertoire as the 1960s unfolded, incorporating folk music and protest themes. He recorded songs by folk-rock singer Bob Dylan and up-and-comers like Kris Kristofferson, but by the end of the decade, driven perhaps by his generally out-of-control lifestyle, his hits came largely from novelty songs like Shel Silverstein's \"A Boy Named Sue.\" Even so, by 1969 Cash was the best-selling recording artist alive, outselling even rock legends the Beatles. That year saw him win two Grammy awards for Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison, a live album for a worshipful audience of prisoners that led to Johnny Cash at San Quentin. From 1969 to 1971 he hosted a smash variety program for television, The Johnny Cash Show.\nThe 1970s saw more career triumphs, notably a Grammy-winning duet with wife June Carter Cash on Tim Hardin's song \"If I Were a Carpenter,\" a command performance for President Richard M. Nixon, acting roles in film and on television, a bestselling autobiography, and several more hit albums, including Man in Black, the title of which had become his permanent show-business moniker. While this label has been associated with his \"outlaw\" image, Cash and his bandmates originally wore black because they had nothing else that matched; besides, as Cash informed a writer for Entertainment Weekly, \"black is better for church.\"\nIn Cash's 1975 autobiography, also titled Man in Black, he describes his years of fighting an addiction to drugs. He began to take amphetamines\u2014\"uppers\"\u2014to stay awake for the grueling tours and to provide a constant supply of energy for his concerts, and barbiturates\u2014\"downers\"\u2014to fall asleep afterward. Addicted for seven years, Cash saw his health deteriorate; he became violent, depressed, and suicidal. In 1967 he woke up in a jail cell in Lafayette, Georgia, and admitted he was addicted. With the help of his strong Christian faith, his doctor, and his soon to be bride June Carter, Cash successfully completed his withdrawal from drug dependency. Throughout the book Cash stresses \"the religious aspects of his life,\" wrote a Library Journal reviewer, and he credits his ultimate salvation to his faith in Jesus Christ. According to a Publishers Weekly reviewer, Cash's account is a brutally honest version \"that goes further in personal disclosure than anything written about him thus far.\" The book met with critical and popular success, selling over 250,000 hardcover copies.\nIn 1980 Cash was inducted into the Country Music Association Hall of Fame. He had become a music hero worldwide, appearing in eastern Europe before the fall of the Soviet empire and praising those who agitated for democracy. Yet during the 1980s, Cash became less and less of a priority for his record label; country music had come to be dominated by younger artists who were either pop-inclined or \"roots\" artists who favored more sophisticated production. These troubles led Cash to again struggle with drugs; he eventually checked into the Betty Ford clinic for rehabilitation. There, he said, he experienced a religious epiphany.\nA Book about St. Paul\nCash's second book, Man in White, draws upon his personal struggle with drugs and is the result of almost ten years of research and writing. The manuscript\u2014carried from city to city in saddlebags, and worked on in buses and hotel rooms\u2014was written in longhand on yellow legal pads. It is the story of the biblical Saul of Tarsus, the Jewish Pharisee, who, in approximately 37 A.D., converted to Christianity after an encounter with \"the man in white,\" or Jesus, on the Damascus road. In the book, Cash fictionalizes the three-year span of Saul's anti-Christian zealotry prior to his conversion, and the three-year interval afterward, during which Saul changed his name to Paul, built up relationships with the apostles, and prepared for the first of his numerous missionary journeys. Cash acknowledged that he was inspired to write the book because Paul's transforming experience so closely paralleled his own. After more than seven years of drug addiction and violence, Cash's rehabilitation was \"like a new birth, a new lease on life,\" he was quoted as saying by William Griffin in a Publishers Weekly interview. \"My mind was renewed \u2026 I was transformed, and I identified with Paul the apostle.\"\nMany reviewers praised Man in White for its characterization and historical authenticity, and the novel was even optioned for a movie. John Lawson, a School Library Journal critic, wrote that \"this well-researched novel breathes life into Paul,\" the disciples, and the high priest, making \"the characters and times come alive.\" Rene H. Engel commented in the Los Angeles Times Book Review that, although Cash's music is the best descriptor of his personality, \"if the reader considers Cash's powerful identification with Paul, then the Man in White, together with [Cash's] autobiography, does give us some insight into the convictions of the man in black.\"\nDuring the 1980s Cash continued to indulge his eclectic musical tastes. Alongside Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, and Waylon Jennings, he participated in a collaborative album, The Highwaymen, which was followed by two other albums by the team. He also joined Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and country-rock giant Roy Orbison for a reunion recording called Class of '55 (Memphis Rock & Roll Homecoming), which enjoyed solid sales. A daughter by his first marriage, Rosanne, became a country star in her own right; Johnny Cash himself, even as his solo albums sold poorly, was firmly established as a living legend of country music and a profound influence on rock and roll. In 1992 he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.\nYet Cash tired of record-business priorities. \"I kept hearing about demographics [market studies of consumers] until it was coming out my ears,\" the singer told Christopher John Farley of Time. The first label representative who seemed to understand Cash after this bitter experience was, ironically enough, a man best known for his work with hardcore rap, metal, and alternative acts. Rick Rubin had founded\nhis own label, first called Def American and later changed to American Recordings, to support acts he believed in. Though not intimately acquainted with Cash's work, Rubin admired the singer's artistic persona. \"I don't see him as a country act,\" Rubin told Farley. \"I would say he embodies rock 'n' roll. He's an outlaw figure, and that is the essence of what rock 'n' roll is.\"\nRubin's appeal, to Cash, lay in the producer's idea for a record. After seeing one of the country legend's performances, Rubin \"said he'd love to hear just me and my guitar,\" Cash told Los Angeles Times writer Robert Hilburn. These were the words the veteran artist had waited decades to hear; he had suggested such a minimal approach many times to country producers, only to have it vetoed immediately on commercial grounds. Rubin simply set up a tape machine in his Hollywood living room and allowed Cash to play guitar and sing.\nRubin \"was a lot like Sam [Phillips], actually,\" Cash told Hilburn. \"We talked a lot about the approach we were going to take, and he said, 'You know, we are not going to think about time or money. I want you to come out as much as you can.'\" Freed from the constraints that had clipped Cash's wings in his Nashville years, he was able to experiment with a wide range of material. Recording over seventy songs, mostly at Rubin's house but also at his own cabin in Tennessee and at the trendy Los Angeles nightspot The Viper Room, Cash had a valedictory experience. He later told Time's Farley that the work was his \"dream album.\"\nFirst Release on American Recordings\nThe recorded material was culled to thirteen tracks, including traditional songs, some Cash originals, and compositions by such diverse modern song-writers as Kristofferson, Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, Nick Lowe, Glenn Danzig, and Loudon Wainright III. The lead-off track, \"Delia's Gone,\" grimly describes the murder of a faithless woman; Rubin seemed to invite comparisons between Cash and the controversial metal and rap acts on his label. Titled American Recordings, the album was released in 1994; its artist was sixty two years old. The liner notes contained testimonials from both Rubin and Cash. \"I think we made a brutally honest record,\" the producer declared. \"Working with Rick,\" Cash averred, \"all the experimenting, kinda spread me out and expanded my range of material. This is the best I can do as an artist, as a solo artist, this is it.\"\nCritics seemed to agree. Karen Schoemer of Mirabella praised American Recordings as \"a daring, deceptively simple album\" that \"operates on a mythic\nscale, which suits someone who's always been larger than life. What is breathtaking is Cash's ability to analyze his aging self, and the failures, weaknesses, strengths and wisdoms that time bestows.\" Village Voice critic Doug Simmons praised it as \"fiercely intimate,\" while Rolling Stone's Anthony DeCurtis called it \"unquestionably one of his best albums,\" one which \"will earn him a time of well-deserved distinction in which his work will reach an eager new audience.\"\nWhile American Recordings sold only modestly well, it restored Cash's sense of mission. It also earned him a 1995 Grammy Award for best contemporary folk album. He played a sold-out engagement in Los Angeles just before his nomination, before an audience studded with such music stars as Tom Petty, Sheryl Crow, and Dwight Yoakam. And in September of 1996 he played a set at the CMA Music Marathon in Manhattan, previewing songs from a new album, Unchained, as well as performing cover versions from younger artists such as Beck and Soundgarden.\nIn later years, health problems caused Cash to limit his touring schedule. He began to suffer from Shy-Drager's syndrome, a degenerative nerve disease that can cause blackouts, tremors, and muscle stiffness and made him prone to pneumonia. He was hospitalized with pneumonia twice in 1998 and again in October 1999. Yet, as the 1990s waned and the millennium turned over, Cash\u2014now approaching the end of his seventh decade\u2014returned to the recording studio and issued American III: Solitary Man in 2000; the title track from that album won a Grammy for best male country vocal performance. Also in 2000 he compiled a three-disc retrospective boxed set called Love, God, Murder, one of more than one hundred Cash retrospective packages compiled since the 1950s. Indeed, 1999 alone saw the release of nearly two dozen Cash collections, and that year he was honored also with the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences.\nConnects with Younger Generation\nAbout the prospect of an \"eager new audience\" Cash himself\u2014who seriously considered playing at the alternative-rock festival known as Lollapalooza before declining the offer\u2014was philosophical. \"I no longer have a grandiose attitude about my music being a powerful force for change,\" he told a contributor to Entertainment Weekly. Even so, he allowed, \"I think [today's youth] sees the hypocrisy in government, the rotten core of social ills and poverty and prejudice, and I'm not afraid to say that's where the trouble is. A lot of people my age are.\" One thing remained constant, as he told Rolling Stone: \"I feel like if I can just go onstage with my guitar and sing my songs, I can't do no wrong no matter where I am.\"\nIf you enjoy the works of Johnny Cash\nIf you enjoy the works of Johnny Cash, you may also want to check out the following recordings:\nWaylon Jennings, Singer of Sad Songs, 1970.\nWillie Nelson, Red Headed Stranger, 1975.\nMerle Haggard, If I Could Only Fly, 2000.\nCash continued to reach this new audience with a fourth effort in the American Recordings series, American IV: The Man Comes Around. Once again, the legendary country singer delved into the works of younger artists like Depeche Mode's \"Personal Jesus\" and Nine Inch Nails' \"Hurt.\" The latter song also became a popular video, launching the song onto the Modern Rock Tracks chart. The video, directed by Mark Romanek, earned six nominations at the 2003 MTV Awards, and won in the best cinematography category. American IV: The Man Comes Around rose to number two on the Top Country Albums chart and was certified gold in 2003.\nCash's success, however, was mingled with continued health problems and personal tragedy. June Carter Cash, his wife of thirty-five years, died of complications following heart surgery on May 15, 2003. \"After June died,\" friend Kris Kristofferson told a People contributor, \"life was a struggle for him. His daughter told me he cried every night.\" Cash was eager to attend the MTV Awards in August of 2003, but had been re-admitted to the hospital due to complications from diabetes. On September 12, 2003, almost four months after the death of his wife, Cash died. A memorial service, held at Hendersonville, North Carolina, on September 15, 2003, was attended by friends, family, and his musical peers. \"He stood up for the underdogs, the downtrodden, the prisoners, the poor, and he was their champion,\" Kristofferson told People. \"He appealed to people all over the world.\"\nCampbell, Garth, Johnny Cash: He Walked the Line, John Blake, 2004.\nCash, Johnny, Man in Black: His Own Story in His Own Words, Zondervan (Grand Rapids, MI), 1975.\nCash, Johnny, and Patrick Carr, Cash: The Autobiography, HarperSanFrancisco (San Francisco, CA), 1997.\nCash, Johnny, Ring of Fire: The Johnny Cash Reader (interviews), edited by Michael Streissguth, Da Capo Press (New York, NY), 2002.\nContemporary Musicians, Volume 46, Gale (Detroit, MI), 2004.\nCusic, Don, Johnny Cash: The Songs, Thunder's Mouth Press, 2004.\nLewry, Peter, I've Been Everywhere: A Johnny Cash Chronicle, Helter Skelter Publishing, 2001.\nMcCall, Michael, and Nicholas Maier, Johnny Cash: An American Legend, AMI Books, 2003.\nMiller, Bill, Cash: An American Man, CMT, 2004.\nMoriarty, Frank, Johnny Cash, MetroBooks (New York, NY), 2000.\nStreissguth, Michael, Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison: The Making of a Masterpiece, Da Capo Press (New York, NY), 2004.\nTurner, Steve, The Man Called Cash: The Life, Love, and Faith of an American Legend, W Publishing Group, 2004.\nUrbanski, Dave, The Man Comes Around: The Spiritual Journey of Johnny Cash, Relevant Books, 2003.\nBillboard, March 30, 2002, Wes Orshoski, \"Johnny Cash: An American Original,\" p. 1.\nBooklist, October 1, 1997, Mike Tribby, review of Cash: The Autobiography, p. 274.\nKirkus Reviews, July 15, 1986, p. 1039.\nLibrary Journal, November 1, 1975, review of Man in Black, p. 2042; June 1, 2002, Eric Hahn, review of Ring of Fire: The Johnny Cash Reader, p. 154.\nLos Angeles Times, April 28, 1984; April 25, 1994, Robert Hilburn, pp. F1, F5.\nLos Angeles Times Book Review, September 12, 1986, Rene H.

Johnny Cash grew up in Dyess, Ark., where he had moved at the age of three. Following his discharge from the Air Force in July 1954, he traveled to Memphis and eventually auditioned for Sam Phillips of Sun Records in March 1955. Signed to Sun, Cash managed pop hits with his own \u201cI Walk the Line,\u201d \u201cBallad of a Teenage Queen,\u201d \u201cGuess Things Happen That Way,\u201d and \u201cThe Ways of a Woman in Love.\u201d In 1957 W. S. Holland joined his backup band, becoming one of the first drummers in country music. In August 1958 Johnny Cash switched to Columbia Records and soon hit with \u201cDon\u2019t Take Your Guns to Town.\u201d Moving to Calif., Cash started working with June Carter, of the legendary Carter Family, in 1961. He began feeling the strain of constant touring and the collapse of his first marriage and grieved the death of friend Johnny Horton. As a consequence, Cash started taking amphetamines and tranquilizers to cope with his hectic life.\nIn 1963 Johnny Cash scored his first major pop hit on Columbia with \u201cRing of Fire.\u201d He soon began hanging out on the periphery of the Greenwich Village folk music scene, and his next hit, \u201cUnderstand Your Man,\u201d had a distinctive folk feel to it. In 1964 he appeared with Bob Dylan at the Newport Folk Festival. During this time, Cash recorded a number of folk songs, including Peter LaFarge\u2019s \u201cBallad of Ira Hayes\u201d and Dylan\u2019s \u201cDon\u2019t Think Twice, It\u2019s Alright,\u201d and, with June Carter, \u201cIt Ain\u2019t Me, Babe,\u201d another country and pop hit.\nDespite increasing popular success, Johnny Cash\u2019s life seemed to deteriorate. In October 1965 he was arrested at El Paso International Airport in possession of hundreds of stimulants and tranquilizers. After being found near death in a small Ga. town in 1967, Cash decided to reform. With June Carter providing moral support, he cleaned up his act. The couple scored a smash country hit with \u201cJackson\u201d in 1968, the year they married. In 1970, they hit the pop charts with Tim Hardin\u2019s \u201cIf I Were a Carpenter.\u201d\nJohnny Cash began a series of successful TV appearances in 1967, and his 1968 Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison remained on the album charts for more than two years and revitalized his career. The album yielded a top country hit and moderate pop hit with \u201cFolsom Prison Blues.\u201d In early 1969 Cash scored another top country and moderate pop hit with Carl Perkins\u2019s \u201cDaddy Sang Bass.\u201d Cash\u2019s penchant for novelty songs culminated in his biggest pop hit, \u201cA Boy Named Sue,\u201d from Johnny Cash at San Quentin, another best-seller. The 1969 debut show for his ABC network TV series featured a film of Cash and Bob Dylan recording \u201cGirl from the North Country.\u201d The song later appeared on Dylan\u2019s first country album, Nashville Skyline. Later shows featured artists such as Gordon Lightfoot, Kris Kristofferson, Waylon Jennings, and Joni Mitchell. During the 1969 Newport Folk Festival, Johnny Cash introduced Kris Kristofferson, later recording his \u201cSunday Morning Coming Down\u201d and bolstering his early career.\nJohnny Cash again demonstrated his social consciousness in the early 1970s with the hits \u201cWhat is Truth\u201d and \u201cMan in Black.\u201d He also narrated and co-produced the soundtrack to the Christian epic Gospel Road and assisted in the production of The Trail of Tears, a dramatization of the tragedy of the Cherokee Indians, broadcast on public television (PBS). Cash scored another pop novelty hit with \u201cOne Piece at a Time\u201d in 1976 and hit the country charts in 1978 with \u201cThere Ain\u2019t No Good Chain Gangs,\u201d recorded with Waylon Jennings. His last major country hit came in 1981 with \u201cThe Baron.\u201d Future country star Marty Stuart was a member of Cash\u2019s band from 1979 to 1985.\nIn 1985 Johnny Cash joined Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson to tour and record as the Highwaymen. They hit the top of the country charts with Jimmy Webb\u2019s \u201cThe Highwayman.\u201d The following year, Cash reunited with old Sun Records alumni Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Roy Orbison for Class of \u201955, contributing \u201cI Will Rock & Roll with You.\u201d Cash was dropped from the Columbia Records roster in 1986 and he subsequently signed with Mercury Records, switching to American Records in 1993. In 1990 he joined Jennings, Nelson, and Kristofferson as the Highwaymen for another album and round of touring. Cash sang \u201cThe Wanderer\u201d with U2, included on their Zooropa album. In 1994 he recorded the moody, acoustic American Recordings album for American Records under producer Rick Rubin, best known for his work with Run-D.M.C, Public Enemy, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The following year, Cash once again joined the Highwaymen, to tour and record for Liberty Records The Road Goes on Forever. However, he retired from active performing in 1997, after announcing he was suffering from a degenerative nerve disease. Helping to broaden the scope of country-and-western music and popularize country music with rock and pop fans, Johnny Cash became the first international country star and may have done more to popularize country music than anyone since Hank Williams. Indeed, his TV series (1969\u201371) was instrumental in widening the audience for country music. Additionally, he was instrumental in introducing Bob Dylan and Kris Kristofferson to broader public acceptance. Johnny Cash was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992.\nMan in Black (Grand Rapids, Mich., 1975); Man in White: A Novel (San Francisco, 1986); with Patrick Carr, Cash: The Autobiography (San Francisco, 1997).\nThe Fabulous Johnny Cash (1958); Hymns by Johnny Cash (1959); Songs of Our Soil (1959); Now, There Was a Song!

        "raw_content": "Andrew Demidowich\nAre you sure your patient has Pheochromocytomas/ Paragangliomas? What are the typical findings for this disease?\nPheochromocytomas (PHEOs) and paragangliomas (PGLs) are rare neuroendocrine tumors that are derived from neural crest cells. A PHEO is defined as tumor originating from the chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla, while a PGL is an extra-adrenal sympathetic or parasympathetic ganglion tumor. PGLs can be located anywhere from the base of the skull to the pelvis, and most commonly are found in the head and neck or near the inferior mesenteric artery. PHEO/PGL are rare tumors affecting approximately 1 in 2000 individuals; PHEOs make up about 80-85% of these tumors. The mean age at diagnosis is 43 years, but 10-20% of PHEO/PGL may be diagnosed in childhood. Both sexes are affected equally.\nSympathetic PHEOs/PGLs usually secrete catecholamines (e.g., epinephrine, norepinephrine, and/or dopamine), while most parasympathetic PGLs (located in the head and neck region) are biochemically silent. The metabolism of catecholamines involves conversion into inactive metabolites, such as metanephrines, 3-Methoxy-4-hydroxy-mandelic acid (VMA), and conjugated catecholamines. These metabolites can be detected in peripheral circulation for diagnostic purposes.\nMost PHEOs are sporadic; in fact, 5-7% of all adrenal incidentalomas are found to be PHEOs on further work up. However, approximately half of all PHEOs/PGLs, including those that are characterized as sporadic because of the absence of any other signs in the patient or family history, are associated with a germline mutation in one of the PHEO/PGL susceptibility genes (discussed below); more than 75% of all pediatric cases of PHEO/PGLs are associated with an underlying germline mutation. These include defects in the genes causing familial syndromes such as multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2), neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) syndrome, Carney-Stratakis, and the inherited PGL syndromes which are due to succinate dehydrogenase (SDHx) defects.\nMalignant PHEOs/PGLs are defined as the presence of metastases to sites where they are not present normally, such as liver and bone. Malignancy occurs in 10-17% of all PHEOs/PGLs, and in up to 50% of PGLs associated with a germline succinate dehydrogenase subunit B (SDHB) gene mutation. Tumor size over 5 cm has been associated with increased malignant potential, as has the location of the primary PGL; namely, in the mediastinum or at the organ of Zuckerkandl. Histologic features alone are not enough to distinguish malignant PHEOs/PGLs from benign tumors, and histologic scoring systems such \u201cpheochromocytoma of the adrenal gland scaled score\u201d (PASS) or the Ki-67 proliferation index have been inconsistent in their ability to predict likelihood of malignancy.\nTypical findings\nThe classic triad of symptoms caused by PHEO or hormone-secreting PGL consists of episodic headache, sweating, and tachycardia. Patients may develop paroxysms characterized by a spike in blood pressure, sudden headache, sweating, flushing or facial pallor, palpitations, and feelings of anxiety or impending doom. The episode may also be accompanied by nausea and vomiting.\nBlood pressure spikes, sustained hypertension, or a combination of sustained hypertension with spikes to crisis levels have all been associated with PHEO/PGL, although in children, sustained hypertension is most common.\nOther symptoms, particularly in children, include dizziness, visual disturbances, weight loss, fasting hyperglycemia, constipation, polyuria, and polydipsia.\nPHEO/PGL hereditary syndromes\nMEN2: It is caused by mutations in the rearranged during transfection (RET) proto-oncogene. There are three subtypes, MEN2A, MEN2B, and familial medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). MEN2A is associated with MTC, primary hyperparathyroidism, and PHEO. MEN2B is associated with MTC, PHEO, as well as mucosal neuromas, joint deformities, a Marfanoid skeletal habitus, and occasionally developmental delay. Familial MTC, as the name implies, is associated with MTC, but not with any of the other clinical manifestations of the MEN2 syndromes. MTC is typically the first presentation of all three MEN2 subtypes, with PHEOs arising typically in the fourth decade of life. About 50% of MEN2A and MEN2B cases develop PHEOs, and about half of these individuals have bilateral disease. Most of these PHEOs produce epinephrine/metanephrine and metastatic disease is infrequent.\nNF1: It is caused by mutations in NF1 gene. This syndrome is characterized by cafe-au-lait spots, intertriginous freckling, Lisch nodules, neurofibromas, optic gliomas, as well as bony lesions. MTC, CML, malignant gliomas, and PHEOs are also associated with NF1, although PHEOs only occur in less than 1-2% of patients. PHEOs associated with NF1 are typically unilateral, adrenal in location, epinephrine/metanephrine-producing, and usually benign. Patients with NF1 should be screened for PHEO only if they develop symptoms, as there is a low incidence of PHEO with NF1 patients.\nVHL: It is caused by mutations in the VHL gene. It is associated with a number of tumors, including hemangioblastomas of the brain and spine, retinal angiomas, clear cell renal carcinomas (CCRCC), PHEOs, tumors of the endolymphatic sac of the middle ear, renal cysts, pancreatic cysts, liver cysts, and hemangiomas of the adrenal gland, liver, and lungs. There are two subtypes types of VHL with respect to its association with PHEOs: type 1 do not develop PHEOs, whereas type 2 do. Type 2 is further subdivided into type 2A (without CCRCC), type 2B (with any of the tumors listed above), and type 2C (PHEO/PGL only). Overall, the risk of PHEO development is less than 30% among patients with VHL, and the tumors tend to be adrenal, bilateral, and less frequently malignant as compared with sporadic PHEOs. VHL-associated PHEOs have a low expression of PNMT, the enzyme which converts norepinephrine to epinephrine, and as a result, produce only norepinephrine/normetanephrine in 98% of cases.\nFamilial isolated PGL syndromes: These are caused by a mutation in one of the subunits of the SDH enzyme (SDHA, SDHB, SDHC, SDHD) or its cofactor (SDHAF2). SDHB is the most common germline mutation among familial PHEO/PGLs (found in over 10% of cases) and is strongly associated with aggressive extra-adrenal sympathetic PGL tumors, metastatic disease, and younger presentation. In fact, all individuals with metastatic PHEOs/PGLs should consider undergoing screening for SDHB germline mutations. However, penetrance is low among SDHB mutation carriers, with only 45% of individuals having disease by age 40.\nSDHD mutations commonly are associated with multiple bilateral PGLs in the head and neck (HNPGL), but can also have tumors in other locations such as the mediastinum, abdomen, or adrenal. HNPGLs are usually biochemically silent, but up to 20% may secrete dopamine or its metabolite methoxytyramine. Metastases are rare. Of note, SDHD is maternally imprinted (inactivated), so the disease is exclusively passed down from an affected father.\nSDHA, SDHC, and SDHAF2 mutations are much rarer. SDHC and SDHAF2 also associated with multiple HNPGLs with low malignant potential, and SDHAF2 is maternally imprinted, like SDHD. SDHA mutations were first associated (in the homozygote state) with Leigh syndrome, a neurodegenerative disorder; they have also been found now (in the heterozygote state) as a rare cause of PHEO/PGL.\nIt is important to remember that individuals with SDHx mutations are also at higher risk for other tumors, such as renal cell carcinoma, gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), breast cancer, papillary thyroid carcinomas, and pituitary tumors. Among patients with SDH defects two distinct syndromes diagnostically have been described:\nCarney-Stratakis syndrome: It is characterized by PGLs and GISTs. The syndrome appears to be inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern and is caused by SDHx mutations. The GISTs are multifocal and patients may occasionally have other endocrine tumors as well. The PGLs are mostly abdominal, and both functional and non-functional lesions have been described.\nPituitary adenoma (PA), PHEO and PGL association (3PAs): As the name implies the disease describes the co-presence of PA with PHEOs or PGLs. All types of PAs have been linked to SDHx defects from non-functioning to prolactin, growth hormone and corticotropin-producing.\nCarney Triad: It is characterized by pulmonary chondromas, GISTs and functioning PGL. The PGLs are frequently multiple, catecholamine-producing, and may cause locally compressive symptoms as well. The tumors can be distributed in the head, neck, thorax, and abdomen, and have a similar rate of metastasis as sporadic PHEOs/PGLs. The disease almost always affects females (very few males have been described with the disorder) and typically presents before the age of 30. The underlying genetic basis has not yet been identified, but the disease has been linked to abnormal methylation of the SDHC gene promoter; less than 10% of the patients with Carney Triad carry mutations in the SDHx genes but the genetic defect in the rest remains unknown.\nOther familial/genetic causes of PHEO/PGL: Recently many rare (<2% of cases) germline mutations associated with PHEO/PGL have been discovered. Mutations in MAX and TMEM127 are both associated with norepinephrine and/or epinephrine producing adrenal PHEOs, and bilateral disease is common in both. Patients are typically diagnosed in their 30s and 40s, respectively. TMEM127-caused PHEOs are typically benign, whereas MAX mutations have an increased susceptibility for metastatic disease. Hypoxia-inducible factor 2-alpha (HIF2A, also known as EPAS1) mutations are associated with multiple PGLs, polycythemia, and somatostatinomas. Other genes found in rare familial cases of PHEO/PGL include KIF1B\u03b2, PHD2 (also known as EGLN1), fumarate hydratase (FH), malate dehydrogenase (MDH2), and BAP1.\nAge of initial screening for PHEO/PGL in asymptomatic children with known genetic mutation:\nMEN2:\nMEN2B due to RET mutation M918T: 11 years old\nMEN2A due to RET mutations in C634: 11 years old\nAll others: 16 years old\nVHL: 5 years old\nNF1: screening only needs to be done if signs/symptoms of PHEO develop\nSDHB, SDHC, and paternally inherited SDHD: 5-7 years old\nPaternally inherited SDHAF2: 20 years old\nParoxysmal vasodilating headaches\nUse of sympathomimetic agents (e.g., cocaine)\nAcute drug withdrawal (e.g., clonidine, alcohol)\nAcute malignant hyperthermic crisis\nPHEOs/PGLs can occur sporadically or as part of a hereditary syndrome.\nHereditary syndromes associated with PHEO/PHLs include MEN2, (either MEN2A or MEN2B), NF1, VHL, familial PHEO/PGL, Carney triad, and Carney-Stratakis syndrome.\nThe initial diagnostic test of choice is either plasma free metanephrines or a 24-hour urinary fractionated metanephrines (metanephrine and normetanephrine). The plasma metanephrines are typically elevated more than threefold above the upper limit of normal for the reference range. Urinary normetanephrines are typically elevated >1500 \u00b5g/day, and metanephrines >600 \u03bcg/day. Plasma and/or 24-hour urine catecholamines can be collected simultaneously with metanephrines, but do not have as high diagnostic accuracy.\nThe conditions under which the samples are obtained are important and may affect the reliability of the results. Patients should be supine 15-20 minutes prior to sampling, blood should be drawn through a previously inserted IV line, and nicotine and alcohol should be avoided for at least 12 hours prior to the test. Drawing plasma metanephrines while seated, rather than supine, may falsely elevate the results.\nNumerous medications can falsely elevate metanephrines, including acetaminophen, labetalol, phenoxybenzamine, tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), decongestants, and buspirone.\nUrine collections should also be measured for creatinine to ensure proper collection.\nFalse-positive results occur in 20% of cases; borderline or mildly elevated results typically warrant repeat or further testing (see below).\nChromogranin A is a marker of neuroendocrine cells, and can be used to monitor PHEO activity pre- and post-operatively. However, it is non-specific, and is released from other tissues. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) interfere with testing for Chromogranin A and should be stopped at least 2 weeks prior to testing.\nClonidine suppression test can be used in cases where the diagnosis is uncertain. The alpha receptor blocker clonidine specifically blocks norepinephrine released from neurons, but does not block its release from the adrenal medulla or from PHEO tumors. In healthy individuals, plasma metanephrine levels demonstrate a >40% decrease at 3 hours after clonidine administration. This test may cause significant hypotension, and patients should be monitored during this test. Additionally, it can result in false positives, as some normal stressed individuals may fail to suppress.\nRarely PHEOs can be biochemically silent, or only secrete methoxytyramine, a dopamine metabolite, for which commercial biochemical testing is not yet widely available.\nUrine vanillylmandelic acid (VMA) is inferior to metanephrine testing, and is not commonly employed in the work of up PHEO/PGL.\nGlucagon stimulation testing is no longer recommended in the work up of PHEO/PGL given its inferior diagnostic sensitivity and risk for side effects.\nOnce the biochemical diagnosis has been established, imaging studies should be pursued to localize the tumor.\nThe initial test of choice in pediatric patients is magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with or without contrast, as it avoids radiation exposure. It has a good sensitivity (93-100%) for detection of PHEOs, and while the sensitivity for the detection of extra-adrenal PGLs and metastatic disease is lower, it is still very high (90%).\nOn T1-weighted imaging, PHEO/PGL have a signal intensity similar to liver, kidney, and muscle, which distinguishes them from the more common and benign cortical adenomas, which appear bright on MRI.\nOn T2-weighted images, PHEO/PGL have a hyperintense appearance.\nPHEO/PGL usually enhance with gadolinium contrast.\nIn adult patients, the initial test of choice is a CT scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis, with a sensitivity between 88-100%. Most PHEO/PGL have greater than 10 Hounsfield units on noncontrast CT, and greater than 60% absolute washout (or 50% relative washout) on delayed contrast images.\nFor adult patients with suspected neck lesions, surgical clips, contrast allergies, pregnancy, recent excessive radiation exposure, or other contraindications to CT, MRI with contrast is preferred.\nUltrasound has much poorer sensitivity than CT or MRI, but may be useful in evaluating bladder PGLs or hepatic metastases.\nFunctional Imaging: if the tumor is not localized on CT or MRI, metastatic disease is seen or suspected, or the patient has an SDHB mutation, additional functional imaging should be pursued.\n123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) is useful to localize and confirm the presence of PHEO/PGL by utilizing the presence of catecholamine transporters as markers for disease. MIBG has high affinity and uptake by norepinephrine transporters, and is selectively accumulated but not metabolized. 131I-MIBG is less sensitive and emits greater \u03b3 radiation than 123I-MIBG, and therefore is no longer recommended. However, false-positivity of MIBG is a significant problem, as up to 50% of normal adrenal glands can demonstrate uptake. Also, MIBG is less sensitive for the detection of malignant, bilateral, or extra-adrenal PHEO/PGL, or those related to MEN2, VHL, or SDHx (sensitivity may be less than 50%).\nThe thyroid will uptake the isotopes, and saturated solution of potassium iodide must be used before and 4 days after to prevent uptake.\nMedications that can cause false negatives must be discontinued at least two weeks prior to scanning. These medications include agents that deplete catecholamine stores (i.e., amphetamines, labetalol, reserpine), agents that inhibit catecholamine transporters (i.e., cocaine, TCAs, phenothiazines), and calcium channel blockers.\nPET imaging is superior to MIBG in regards to PGLs or metastatic disease, and is more commonly being used over MIBG in the evaluation of PHEO/PGL.\n18F-dihydroxyphenylalanine (FDOPA) has been shown to have excellent sensitivity (>90%) and specificity in metastatic disease, but is not commonly available. Pretreatment with carbidopa inhibits FDOPA metabolism, resulting in improved sensitivity.\n18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET is most frequently used and has excellent sensitivity by taking advantage of the increased glucose uptake of PHEO/PGL tumors. However, FDG-PET has lower specificity than FDOPA, as inflammation, infection, benign adrenal adenomas, and other tumors/cancers may also demonstrate positive uptake. Also, in states of hyperglycemia, the elevated circulating glucose may compete with the FDG tracer for uptake, thereby resulting in a false-negative scan.\n18F-fluorodopamine (FDA), like FDOPA utilizes substrates of neuroendocrine tumors to detect and localize PHEO/PGL, and has excellent sensitivity in detecting primary thoracic or abdominal tumors. However, FDA is not commonly available and has lower sensitivity in metastatic or familial PHEO/PGL.\nRecent studies have suggested that PET/MRI may be equivalent to PET/CT in imaging PHEO/PGL, thereby avoiding radiation exposure to the patient.\n68Ga-labelled DOTA peptides (DOTATATE, DOTATOC, and DOTANOC) have demonstrated great promise in imaging metastatic PHEO/PGL. In particular, 68Ga-DOTATATE has been shown to be superior to other functional imaging modalities in SDHB metastatic disease and HNPGL, and has exceptional sensitivity and specificity in abdominal and thoracic PGLs as well. It is available in Europe and Australia, but availability in the US is currently limited to a few tertiary centers.\nOctreoscan: 111I-pentetreotide scintigraphy utilizes somatostatin receptors on PHEO/PGL tumors, and is helpful with solitary adrenal tumors. However, given that the expression of these receptors are variable in PHEO/PGL, false-negative results are common among small tumors/metastases and HNPGL.\nIf you are able to confirm that the patient has Pheochromocytomas/Paragangliomas, what treatment should be initiated?\nThe mainstay of treatment is surgical excision for PHEO/PGLs that are secretory. Non-secreting PGLs may be followed by imaging, depending on the size/location of the tumor, and depending on the patient.\nMedical treatment is aimed at reducing hypertension and blocking the production of catecholamines, in order to minimize life-threatening hypertensive crises in preparation for surgical excision. Many clinicians prefer to use a combination of an alpha-blocker with a beta-blocker. The alpha-blocker should ALWAYS be started first, before initiation of the beta-blocker, in order to avoid unopposed alpha receptor stimulation and an acute worsening of blood pressure.\nPhenoxybenzamine: non-selective, long-acting alpha adrenergic blocker. The initial dose is 10 mg once to twice a day, and can be increased by 10 mg increments every 2 to 3 days until adequate blood pressure control has been achieved.\nSelective alpha-1 adrenergic blocking agents: prazosin, terazosin, and doxazosin may be used instead of phenoxybenzamine. Doxazosin is usually started at 2 mg at bedtime to avoid postural hypotension. Prazosin can be started in doses of 2 to 5 mg BID to TID, while Terazosin is usually started 1-2 mg at bedtime and can be titrated up to 10 mg BID. Selective alpha-1 adrenergic blocking agents are less effective than phenoxybenzamine, but are also significantly less expensive, and therefore are often used in patients with mild catecholamine production/low disease burden.\nBeta-blockers: Atenolol (12.5-25 mg BID or TID) and metoprolol (25-50 mg TID or QID) can be started at least 3 days after alpha-blockade has been initiated, and is primarily used to control tachycardia rather than hypertension. Beta-blockers that contain both beta- and alpha-adrenergic blocking ability (e.g., labetalol) should NOT be used as a single agent or first-line therapy in PHEO/PGL, as their beta-adrenergic activity is more potent than its alpha-blockade, and therefore could cause a hypertensive crisis.\nCalcium channel blockers: block noradrenergic-induced calcium influx into vascular smooth muscle, thereby treating hypertension and arrhythmias induced by adrenergic excess. Nicardipine SR (30 mg BID), nifedipine (30-60 mg QD or BID), amlodipine (10 mg QD) or verapamil (180-540 mg QD) can also be used, either as adjunct treatment to alpha blockers, or in patients unable to tolerate alpha blockers secondary to side effects. They may also be used in normotensive patients and for treatment of coronary vasospasm secondary to PHEO.\nMetyrosine: inhibitor of the enzyme tyrosine hydroxylase, which catalyzes the first step of catecholamine synthesis. Consequently, metyrosine depletes catecholamine production in PHEO/PGLs, and is very effective at decreasing circulating catecholamine levels. Starting doses of 250 mg every 6-8 hours are increased by 250 mg every 2 to 3 days as necessary. It should be used as an adjunct treatment to alpha-blockers only when necessary as it can be very expensive, difficult to obtain, and cause side effects such as depression, severe fatigue, nausea, and somnolence.\nTherapy for acute hypertensive crises:\nPhentolamine is a rapid-acting alpha-blocker. It is given as a bolus dose (1-3 mg for children) or by IV infusion.\nNifedipine 10 mg, when chewed, can be a rapid treatment for paroxysmal hypertension, for home use.\nSurgical Treatment: Laparoscopic surgery is the treatment of choice for PHEOs that are <6 cm in diameter. For hereditary PHEOs, partial adrenalectomies that are cortical-sparing are advocated when possible to avoid life-long glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid replacement. However, this may result in higher rates of tumor recurrence (up to 24%). For tumors >6 cm, or invasive, open surgery may be required. Arterial embolization may be helpful in reducing vascularity for large head and neck PGLs. In the immediate post-operative period, intravascular fluid replacement is required to avoid cardiovascular shock due to withdrawal from hypercatecholaminemia, so IV fluids are frequently started pre-operatively.\nFollow-up treatment: Children are at higher risk of tumor recurrence, and long-term follow-up with biochemical evaluation and imaging studies is recommended, particularly for children with an identified genetic mutation. Plasma or 24-hour urine metanephrines levels should be performed once the patient has recovered from surgery (typically 2-6 weeks post-operatively), to avoid false positives. Thereafter, the patient should be evaluated at least annually for recurrence of disease.\nMalignant PHEO/PGL: Treatment is generally not curative, but is aimed at disease stabilization. The first consideration should be resection of the primary mass, if possible. Total adrenalectomy or complete resection of PGL tumors is recommended. Radiofrequency ablation can be used for bone or liver metastasis, in addition to cryoablation or arterial embolization for liver lesions, and external beam radiation for bone metastases.\n131I-MIBG treatment can be used for MIBG-positive tumors. Chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and dacarbazine (CVD) can be effective for rapidly progressive disease. However, this therapy needs to be continued indefinitely, as tumors relapse after cessation of chemotherapy. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors, such as sunitinib, sorafenib, and everolimus have been studied in malignant PHEOs/PGLs, but with limited success.\nRecently, investigators have started studying the use of radiolabeled DOTA peptides in the treatment of metastatic PHEO/PGL. Specifically, 177Lu, 90Y, or 111In attached to DOTATATE, DOTATOC, or DOTANOC have had encouraging results in both pediatric and adult populations, although the sample sizes thus far have been very small.\nAlpha blockers: can cause orthostatic hypotension along with reflex tachycardia, dizziness, syncope, and fatigue. Liberal salt intake along with volume expansion can help.\nBeta blockers: can cause bronchospasm in those with asthma, depression, nausea, diarrhea, bradycardia, orthostasis, and fatigue.\nCalcium channel blockers: can cause headache, dizziness, nausea, constipation, and muscle cramps.\nMetyrosine: can cause sedation, depression, fatigue, anxiety, galactorrhea, as well as extra-pyramidal side effects. It can also cause nausea, diarrhea, crystalluria, and urolithiasis.\nTreatment for metastatic disease\n131I-MIBG treatment: side effects include nausea and sialadenitis. Bone marrow suppression and thrombocytopenia, along with elevated liver enzymes and renal toxicity have been associated with treatment. However, avoidance of doses exceeding 500 mCi, along with use of GCSF-stimulated leukapheresis in order to cryopreserve white blood cells can be useful in cases of prolonged marrow suppression. Additional long-term adverse effects include infertility, along with an increased lifetime risk of second malignancies. Sperm/oocyte cryopreservation is recommended prior to treatment.\nCVD chemotherapy: myelosuppression, gastrointestinal toxicity, peripheral neuropathy, and/or hair loss, although usually side effects are transient.\nWhat are the possible outcomes of Pheochromocytomas/Paragangliomas?\nSurgical removal of the tumor is the primary therapy for PHEO/PGL, and in sporadic cases, recurrent/metastatic disease occurs in only about 15% of cases. However, recurrence may occur many years after the primary tumor, and thus long-term monitoring is recommended. In metastatic disease confined to the abdomen, complete resection can result in biochemical response in up to 40% of individuals at 8 years. For widely metastatic disease, however, surgery is used for palliative, rather than curative purposes and biochemical response is short-lived.\nPartial bilateral adrenalectomy may be employed in young children or those with a familial form of PHEO/PGL to avoid adrenal insufficiency, and avoid the need for lifelong glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid replacement.\nThe overall prevalence of PHEO is between 1:4500 and 1:1700, and of those, approximately 10-20% are diagnosed during childhood. Average age of diagnosis for children is 11, and the disease is slightly more common in boys. When the disease is diagnosed in children, it is frequently familial, bilateral or multi-focal, and extra-adrenal.\nThere are several known hereditary syndromes associated with PHEO/PGL, and they each have associated genetic mutations:\nMEN2: autosomal dominant syndrome caused by germline activating mutation in the RET proto-oncogene. MEN2 syndromes include MEN2A, MEN2B, and familial medullary thyroid carcinoma (FMTC). Patients with MEN2 develop PHEOs, but very rarely develop PGLs. The estimated prevalence of MEN2 is approximately 2.5 per 100,000 people.\nVHL: autosomal dominant syndrome caused by a germline mutation in the VHL protein, which is responsible for degrading proteins, such as the hypoxia inducible factor 1 (HIF1), a transcription factor. The incidence of VHL is approximately 1:36,000, and can manifest itself in childhood, adolescence, or adulthood.\nNF1: autosomal dominant syndrome caused by an inactivating mutation/deletion to a tumor suppressor gene, NF1. The product of the NF1 gene is neurofibromin, which regulates Ras, a signaling protein responsible for cell growth. The incidence of the disease is between 1:2600 and 1:3000 people.\nFamilial paragangliomas: autosomal dominant syndrome caused by mutations in genes that code for a mitochondrial complex element, succinate dehydrogenase complex II (SDHx), which has four subunits and a cofactor. PGL1 is caused by an inactivating mutation of the SDHD gene. PGL2 is caused by an inactivating mutation to the SDHAF2 gene. PGL3 is caused by the inactivating mutation to the SDHC gene. PGL4 is caused by mutation of the SDHB gene, and PGL5 is caused by a mutation in SDHA. Mutations in SDHx are also associated with the development of other tumors. SDHB and SDHD mutations account for about 10% and 9% of cases of PHEO/PGL, respectively, whereas the other three SDHx mutations are much rarer. Mutations in other genes associated with PHEO/PGL (e.g., MAX, TMEM127, HIF2A, KIF1B\u03b2, PHD2, FH, MDH2, and BAP1 are also exceedingly rare.\nCarney Triad: The defect for most patients remains unknown to date; the disease has been linked to abnormal SDHC methylation, and less than 10% of the patients carry mutations in the SDHx genes. The disease is much more common in women, and patients present early, typically before the age of 30.\nCarney-Stratakis syndrome: It appears to be inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern with incomplete penetrance. Germline SDHx mutations have been discovered in patients with this syndrome.\nPituitary adenoma (PA), PHEO and PGL association (3PAs): It is caused by SDHx defects and is associated with non-functioning, as well as prolactin-, growth hormone- and corticotropin-producing PAs. Patients may present at any age.\nMicroarray analyses of hereditary PHEO/PGL have purported two separate expression \u201cclusters\u201d. VHL, SDHx, HIF2A, FH, MDH2, and PHD2 have been hypothesized to be associated with a \u201cpseudo-hypoxic\u201d response, resulting in stabilization/increased activity of Hypoxic Inducible Factors (HIFs). These transcription factors in turn cause increased VEGF activity, and dysregulated angiogenesis, energy metabolism, and apoptosis. On the other hand, RET, NF1, TMEM127, MAX, and KIF1B\u03b2 are involved in kinase signaling pathways (e.g., Ras/MAPK, PI3K/Akt, mTOR). Mutations in these genes cause aberrant protein expression and impaired apoptosis. Other disease-causing pathways have also been proposed.\nRecurrence of disease is a common occurrence in children with PHEOs/PGLs, and has been reported to occur in up to a third of patients. For this reason, annual screening is recommended in all patients, even in those that appear cured.\nThe measurement of methoxytyramine in the plasma can be useful for tumors that hypersecrete dopamine. As such, it is a good method to differentiate patients with tumors from SDHB and SDHD mutations from those resulting from MEN2, NF1, and VHL. This test is not widely commercially available currently.\nHistological testing of tumors for SDHB, particularly for malignant or extra-adrenal PHEO/PGL, has been proposed. If staining is negative for SDHB, then a mutation in SDHB is highly likely, whereas weak SDHB staining likely represents a mutation in one of the other SDHx genes (particularly SDHD). Also, because mutations in SDHA may be hard to identify on genetic screening, given highly homologous redundant pseudo-genes, a lack of staining of SDHA on immunohistochemistry may be helpful in making the diagnosis.\nHow can Pheochromocytomas/Paragangliomas be prevented?\nUnfortunately, there is no way to prevent PHEO/PGL; however, genetic testing for associated hereditary syndromes can assist in early diagnosis. Children with known hereditary syndromes associated with PHEO/PGL should be screened for the presence of PHEO/PGL in order to diagnose the disease early and prevent the development of other associated tumors.\nIn case of a clinical finding that points toward a particular hereditary syndrome, such as MEN2, NF1, or VHL, testing should be directed towards identification of known genetic mutations associated with their respective syndrome. Any child at risk for MEN2 (i.e., known family history) should be screened annually for biochemical evidence of the tumor, or if they develop signs or symptoms of PHEO, as screening for the RET gene mutation at an early age can prevent medullary thyroid carcinoma if prophylactic thyroidectomy is performed, and biochemical monitoring for PHEO can allow for early diagnosis and therapy.\nIn non-obviously syndromic cases, pediatric patients diagnosed with PGLs should be tested for the SDHB mutation first and SDHD second (with the order reversed in HNPGL). In PHEOs limited to the adrenals, primarily adrenergic-secreting tumors should be screened for RET mutations, whereas noradrenergic tumors should be screened for VHL, followed by SDHD and SDHB. Dopaminergic adrenal PHEOs should be screened for SDHD followed by SDHB. Guidelines with a full algorithm of genetic testing have been previously published by the Endocrine Society.\nIn patients with known mutations but without evidence of disease, annual testing with plasma fractionated metanephrines, as well as blood pressure monitoring, should be performed, as discussed above. In addition, periodic imaging is recommended for patients with known SDHx mutations.\nEin, SH, Shandling, B, Wesson, D, Filler, R. \u201cRecurrent pheochromocytomas in children\u201d.

The pair recently announced that by year's end, between the Chicago and Dallas-Ft. Worth metro areas the there will be some 80 new Sprint Express locations at the corner-store chain. The two promise further details will be announced within the next few months.\nApparently, the trial in Gainesville, Fla. earlier this year went well enough to two new regions and a smattering of stores. At the outset, there were only eight locations where the program was in place in Florida. The service will run on Assurance Wireless, a government=backed carrier, and Walgreens employees will be eligible for a discounted rate plan.\nIt doesn't sound like the experience is going to be hampered much just because you can pick up a bottle of multivitamins along with your new handset, either. Sprint employees will be on-hand to discuss pre-and-post paid plans, and there will be a raft of accessories available as well.\nOh, and according to the press release, you'll get an earful about how great the Walgreens app is while you're at it, too.

        "title": "NHS England \u00bb Detailed data on \u201cnever events\u201d will help NHS care become even safer, says NHS England",
        "raw_content": "Detailed data on \u201cnever events\u201d will help NHS care become even safer, says NHS England\nNHS England today (Thursday) publishes more detailed data than ever before about \u201cnever events\u201d \u2013 the serious errors in care that put patients at risk of harm and that should not happen if full preventative procedures are in place.\nFor the first time, provisional quarterly data on the number of never events happening at each hospital trust in England will be published, for patients, healthcare professionals, managers, stakeholders and the public to see and understand. Until now, data has been published only annually, and only at national, aggregated level. The data is available on the NHS England website (as of 2017 the data now available on the NHS Improvement website), and will be updated in three months\u2019 time. From April 2014, the data will be updated every month.\nProfessor Don Berwick, the US expert who earlier this year led a landmark review into patient safety in England, has hailed the publication as an admirable and important step.\nNever events include such incidents as wrong-site surgery, items like swabs and other medical equipment being accidentally left inside a patient, and strong drugs like chemotherapy being administered in the wrong way.\nThe provisional data shows:\n102 NHS trusts had at least one never event between April and September this year\n8 independent hospitals had at least one never event between April and September this year\nThere were 37 instances of wrong-site surgery in the six months from April to September, and 70 incidents of foreign objects being mistakenly left inside patients.\nNot all never events result in serious harm to patients. Wrong-site surgery incidents, for instance, range from an incision being made in the wrong place at the beginning of surgery then instantly spotted and corrected, to the wrong tooth being removed, to very severe incidents like the wrong limb or organ being operated on. Information breaking down the types of incidents recorded is available on the website.\nThere are 4.6 million hospital admissions that lead to surgical care every year in England, and 500,000 non-Caesarian births. There are also tens of thousands of other interventional procedures like internal radiology and cardiology catheter procedures that are also classified as \u201csurgical\u201d in terms of never events. So the incidence rate is less than 0.005% or 1 never event in every 20,000 procedures.\nThe data shows that the number of never events recorded is broadly similar to last year. NHS England expects that reporting of these incidents will continue to increase as the NHS becomes a more transparent and learning system, and as the types of incidents that are classed as \u201cnever events\u201d continue to increase in line with developments in patient safety practices.\nDr Mike Durkin, National Director of Patient Safety at NHS England, said: \u201cAwareness in the NHS of these issues has never been greater and the quality of our surgical procedures has never been better. It follows that the risk of these things happening has never been smaller.\n\u201cEvery single never event puts patients at risk of harm which is avoidable. People who suffer severe harm because of mistakes can suffer serious physical and psychological effects for the rest of their lives, and that should never happen to anyone who seeks treatment from the NHS.\n\u201cBut is time for some real openness and honesty. There are risks involved with all types of healthcare. And one of those risks \u2013 with the best will in the world and the best doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals in the world \u2013 is that things can go wrong and mistakes can be made. This has always been the case, and it is true everywhere in the world.\n\u201cThis publication is not about \u2018naming and shaming\u2019 \u2013 it is about telling the public about mistakes, and further ensuring that we talk about and learn from them. That is the way to minimise errors and take every step we can to drive avoidable harm out of the NHS.\n\u201cBy making this detailed data fully open to public scrutiny, we are fulfilling a key recommendation of the Francis Review, but more importantly we are making a big step towards further reducing these events. As Professor Don Berwick made clear in his report on patient safety earlier this year, these incidents can only be truly minimised if we talk about them in an open and honest way, and all work together to make sure every effort is being made to stop whatever went wrong from happening again.\u201d\nThe NHS in England has made significant strides in improving patient safety in recent years, and its reporting and alert systems are credited as being some of the best in the world. But there is always more that can be done, and the safety and quality of care for NHS patients is a key priority for NHS England. Currently, further work is under way to develop new, easier-to-use reporting systems.\nIn addition, a Surgical Safety Task Force is undertaking an in-depth review of surgical never events and is due to report in the New Year, presenting even further insight into how we can make surgery safer across England.\nKey proposals will focus on the adoption of a more systematic approach to surgical safety. This will include standardising operating theatre procedures, new standardised education and training, and work to ensure professional and organisational incentives support safe procedures and working cultures.\nProfessor Don Berwick said: \u201cNo one who works in any hospital wants to see patients come to any harm at all. When serious errors occur, it is a tragedy for both patients and staff, so the courage and commitment shown by the NHS in publishing this data are admirable.\n\u201cOne way to help improve safety is by openly and honestly recognizing, discussing, and examining mistakes in care. That helps us create continually better systems and procedures.\n\u201cBlame and punishment have no productive role in the scientifically proper pursuit of safety. But openness and transparency do. They are the front door to learning and improvement. I applaud NHS England for this important step toward better knowledge and better support to both staff and patients.\u201d\nDr Trudi Farrington says:\nI have worked in organisations that have tried very hard to develop and support a reporting culture with its associated just culture in order to move towards a learning culture. These are the bedrocks of positive safety cultures. Its possible but requires huge amounts of trust, courage and patience as well as the right systems. I have to say that where the public have a vested interest, it is made even more difficult, as the tolerance for the mistakes of others is not only judged by the internal organisation who may buy into a new culture of openness in order to learn but the general public who will have diverse and conflicting views on what should be punished and how.\nWhat is the point of being able to book GP appointments on line if the list is only open two weeks ahead?\nYou may need to plan for holiday vaccinations or other longer term health issues by pre booking to ensure you meet deadlines but only have a two week slot is very limiting.\nI cannot see any mention of \u2018patient chocie\u2019, I want to see a doctor of my choice, not just any doctor!

If two people love each other we do not change this. Even if you do not accept their love does not cease to exist. We can only help people love this.\nPost by StoKin \u00bb Wed Mar 19, 2014 7:19 pm\nIn my point of view marriages between people of the same sex should not be allowed. I think that because it is disgusting when i see two people of the same sex who are holding hands or kissing each other. When a pair of these people want a child this is incorrect because the child can not have two moms or two fathers.\nPost by Elisa \u00bb Thu Mar 27, 2014 4:18 pm\nThe Bible says homosexuality is wrong and it also says homosexuality is a sin.\nThe Bible also says that we have to love our neighbor so.....?\nI don't like seeing people of the same sex kissing each other, I find it so unnatural and I cannot think to a family composed of two men or two women but, as Papa Francesco always says: Who am I to judge the others?\nPost by jamsmith \u00bb Mon Nov 17, 2014 6:53 am\nFirst of all i want to know the origin of same sex concept.Where did it come from ??? Is that God creation or the part of mental retardation of a human being. If is really God creation then i think it must be legalized because in that particular case one who is involved in same sex is completely innocent, what he can do if God has made him or her this way. If it is 2nd case then i think we should work upon it ,People involved in same sex must be considered as mentally retarded and he must be given treatment to improve on it\nadgodoy\nPost by adgodoy \u00bb Tue Nov 18, 2014 8:00 pm\nI think that we can't discriminate about how we love. So if we have clear this right, it's obvious that people with the same sex can get married.\nI grow up with a family that teached me what's wrong and what's good, in that way they teached me that people of the same sex can't get married because that isn't naturally, why people who love people of the same sex are not natural? Well, in the same way, black people can't have rights. That's a thinking about hundred years ago. Homosexual people born like that and black people too. So because people who don't continues stupid rules and \"natural\" stereotypes of the society have fewer rights? I don't think so.\nPost by sylvia \u00bb Sun Feb 15, 2015 11:22 am\nBecause it was illegal when I was growing up why am I now expected to accept it? For 50 years of my life these people have been shunned prosecuted, put in prison etc., and now we are expected to accept them with open arms...Sorry no can do.\nI do however think if people want to be gay (queers in my day) thats ok as long as they do not flaunt it, and it stays behind closed doors, but marry, no way as marriage is a union between a man and a woman normally to have children.\nPost by zareen \u00bb Wed Feb 18, 2015 6:28 pm\nAccording to my view , it must not b legalized .

It is personal issue how everybody create his life. I consider homosexuality it's a kind of mental disorder which is hard to cure. More over it isn't considered as a sin.

It isn't normal that people of the same sex be family. Normal family contains of wife, husband and children. Men and men or woman and woman can't have children and it is against nature. In any living species animals of the same sex can't create relationship. I also think that marriages between people of the same sex are a product of the modern world.\nPost by kruwik \u00bb Sun Mar 08, 2015 3:58 pm\nIn my opinion, marriages between the same sex shouldn't be permitted. I don't have got anything versus this kind of relationships, but they cannot have got any of children, so they cannot make a really family. Nowadays are more a couple of the same sex than 20 or 30 years ago. But I don't think it is a good idea that this kind of marriages should be permitted.\nPost by Lucywa \u00bb Sun Mar 08, 2015 5:01 pm\nI think that \"marriages\" between people of the same sex can't be permitted because it isn't normal. Love is diffrent but when man and man want to have children and be family - it isn't working. In my opinion only woman and man should have a law to get married. This relationship is natural and natura has created them to do this.\nPost by natalianowak \u00bb Sun Mar 08, 2015 5:30 pm\nI think, that marriages between people of the same sex shouldn't be permitted, because I suppose that it isn't normal. Love between man and woman is perfect love, because of this relationships can be children. But on the other hand I don't against gays, but In my opinion they shouldn't take care of children. Nowadays are more a couple of the same sex, but I think, that this is only new trend, because people want to be original. It is very important at present\nPost by aladrelich \u00bb Sun Mar 08, 2015 6:05 pm\nI thinkt that marriages between people of the same sex should be permitted, because love is love. Themost important is that they are in love and respect each other! Also they can be family to. Thankts to that abandoned children have a family! That is the most important!

I'm tolerant person who follow the rule which is about to live own life and let the other part of world do the same. I think that homosexuals have the same law to love and show their happiness like a heterosexual couples. In conclusion marriages between people of the same sex should be legalized. They are just like we with the same bodies, brains, jobs, dreams and hearts full of feelings. Love knows no boundaries. And homosexuals should have no problems to get married.\nPost by OskiDz \u00bb Sun Mar 08, 2015 7:39 pm\nI think that a marriage between persons of the same sex should be prohibited. Personally, I think that homosexual couples have become a fashion in the 21st century, and there isn't a defect. What is more I am a believer and I believe that God didn't create us so as to connect with people of the same sex, on the contrary.\nPost by klamolga \u00bb Sun Mar 08, 2015 7:43 pm\nI think that marriage between people the same sex should be permitted. I don't mind it. Love is love and it isn't important between who. Everyone has a right to live in their own way. I can't understand people, who is against homosexual marriage.

When the boxer was asked if he supported same sex marriage he responded that he was not, stating that it was not supported in the Christian bible then proceeded to quote some lines from the holy book that directly opposed homosexuality. Subsequently one offended actor reacted to the champion's response in a harsh manner calling the boxer a \"false prophet\" resulting in his suspension from work.\nIn my opinion, the amount of negative attention that this incident attracted was entirely unnecessary, as the boxer was just honestly answering the question presented to him in the interview and his answer was not a direct strike towards the LGBT community rather it was his own take on this topic. The freedom of expression entitles anyone to his/her own opinion. What the boxer had quoted (from the bible) is true therefore, he should not in any case or condition be labelled as a false prophet. One does not have to be a prophet to quote any verse from the bible because the bible is for the guidance of all Christians.\nIs it possible that the offended actor just didn't know the correct meaning of the word 'prophet'\nPost by leking \u00bb Thu Mar 30, 2017 12:11 pm\nThe government, federal or state, has no business in defining what a marriage is or is not.\nIt's only concern should be identifying those who wish to establish themselves as a family household for the purposes of financial, medical, child guardianship matters.\nMarriage was established as a religious sacrament long before the US or state governments were formed.\nGovernment by dictating what is and is not a marriage, has established itself as the religious authority on the matter. This clearly violates our first amendment rights : \"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion\".\nDo not let the federal or state governments dictate what a marriage is. That is the right of the people to decide for themselves.\nIf a group of individuals want to establish themselves as a family household, then the governments should legally recognize that and equally apply the laws to all households when it comes to taxes, inheritance, insurance and any other financial, medical, and child guardianship matters.\nLeave it to people to call themselves married, unioned, joined, or what ever else their religion or philosophy calls it.\nMarriage will continue to be an issue as long as the government stays in the religion business despite anything the Supreme Court rules on the matter.",

        "raw_content": "Young children are particularly vulnerable to lead poising as they absorb approximately 4-5 times more lead from a given source compared to adults. Due to the curiosity of children and their hand-to-mouth behavior, they will likely be more susceptible to ingesting any contaminants that are present in your Sydney home.\nIf your Sydney home was built prior to the 1980\u2019s there is a strong possibility that lead is present in one form or another.\nHEATH EFFECTS ON YOUNG CHILDREN\nLead poisoning can have devastating effects on children as it targets the brain and central nervous system. Because children\u2019s brains are in a growing phase, poisoning can severely damage the ability for child\u2019s brain to properly develop. In very high lead poisoning cases, children can have permanent mental retardation or even death. In lower exposure concentrations, poising can cause a spectrum of injuries such as reduced brain development, lower IQ, behavioral changes such as reduced attention span and antisocial behavior.\nWHAT IS A SAFE LEVEL OF EXPOSURE\nUnfortunately, there is no safe level of blood lead concentration. Even once thought to be safe levels of lead concentration are now associated with reduced intelligence in children, behavioral difficulties, and learning problems.\nAs mentioned before, if your Sydney home was built prior to the 1980\u2019s there is a high possibility that lead is present.\nFirst and foremost you need to establish where the lead is present. Getting a inspection on your property for the presence of lead is essential. This is done in the form of a hazardous materials survey which identifies asbestos and lead in the home. From there you can make the precautions to minimise the risks of contact and poisoning.\nSome way you can reduce your exposure in the meantime is by doing the following:\nwash your children\u2019s hands regualrly\nWash family pets and any toys they come in contact with\nWash and mop floors to reduce excess dust build up\nRemove imported toys that have been recalled\nThere is an abundance of great information on lead in your Sydney household or workplace. Further information can be found on the NSW Health website.\nBelow is a cautionary tale of lead exposure in Mt Isa.",

        "raw_content": "Western grebe. Public Pier, Blaine, WA. Photo: Andrew Reding https://www.flickr.com/photos/seaotter/10298390254\nMany bird species that winter in the Salish Sea are experiencing severe declines.\nClose to a third of all bird species in the Salish Sea are classified as \u201cspecies of concern.\u201d\nBirds are considered to be good indicators of the health of the ecosystem.\nSome seabird declines may be related to declines in forage fish.\nThe ecosystem is in flux and some species like bald eagles, rhinoceros auklets and some whales actually appear to be on the rise, potentially competing with declining species for food.\nIn the late summer and early fall, western grebes will flock to the marine waters of the West Coast, where they gather by the thousands to dine on a smorgasbord of small fishes. And for years, masses of wintering grebes were a fixture of the Salish Sea. The waters from the Strait of Georgia in Canada south to Puget Sound in the United States hosted roughly 70% of the species\u2019 entire population. Now, though, surveys estimate that only 4% of the population continues to winter here\u2014a decline of 95%. Why did all the grebes leave? Where did they go? And what does their disappearance say about the health of the ecosystem? A group of scientists shared their research at the 2014 Salish Sea Ecosystem Conference.\nThe Salish Sea is vital habitat for 172 species of birds, and with the exception of salmon, there may be no other type of species that occupies a wider variety of environments. Birds\u2014seabirds in particular\u2014provide a critical link between the land and the saltwater, making them of special interest to Puget Sound recovery efforts.\n\u201cSeabirds are good biological indicators. Their diet reflects fish populations. They\u2019re good indicators of contaminants. And we monitor them just because we care about birds.\u201d\n\u2014Scott Pearson, WA Dept of Fish and Wildlife\nRead more about birds as indicators of ecosystem health in Puget Sound.\nOutwardly, then, some of the signs are troubling. Of those 172 species, close to a third are classified as species of concern in the U.S. and Canada. Managers would like to reverse that trend, but knowing where to start can be tricky. The Salish Sea\u2019s bird species vary dramatically depending on the season, something that makes studying them a challenge. Ironically, that very challenge might also hold a clue to their declines.\nIn the Salish Sea, when it comes to birds, timing is everything.\nIn the summer, for example, the region is dominated by species such as common murres, Cassin\u2019s and rhinoceros auklets, many of which breed in colonies along the outer coast. Most surveys of these summer birds show little in the way of consistent trends. Some, like the Cassin\u2019s auklet, are increasing in number; some, like the common murre, are fairly stable; and some, like the endangered marbled murrelet, continue to decline.\nWinter patterns are more consistent and clear. A number of birds that rely on the Salish Sea in winter show a plain trend: down. Scoters are declining. Loons are declining. And, of course, western grebes are almost entirely gone from the region. Why is that?\nRelated: Protection Island, a National Wildlife Refuge in the Strait of Juan de Fuca, provides important habitat for seabirds and marine mammals\nBiologists have suggested a number of reasons, ranging from top-down effects like the recovery of the predatory bald eagle, to bottom-up effects having to do with food availability. Research presented at the 2014 Salish Sea Ecosystem Conference focused on the role of forage fish, a favorite prey item of many seabirds. Oily and calorie-rich, these fish, such as sandlance, surf smelt and Pacific herring are known for their importance to the food web. Normally an abundant source of sustenance for a wide variety of predators, they have declined significantly over the decades.\n\u201cHalf of all herring stocks in Puget Sound are designated as either depressed or low abundance,\u201d says Dr. Nacho Vilchis, a former postdoctoral researcher with the SeaDoc Society, \u201cand the same is true for British Columbia.\u201d\nA study by Vilchis and others shows that wintering bird species in decline are more likely to be specialist feeders of these fish. Computer models from the study show that birds with more diverse diets, like mergansers, or flexible diets, like gulls, are less likely to decrease. This is significant because species that use the Salish Sea only in winter would be expected to be more willing to leave it when conditions become less favorable. Specialists with stronger ties\u2014those that breed here, for example\u2014 might try to tough it out. A change in wintering grounds is a likely explanation for most of the disappearances, argues Vilchis.\nThat appears to be the case with the western grebe. While the overall wintering population has declined by more than half since 1975, the decline means different things to different places: where the Salish Sea wintering population has dropped off almost completely\u2014by 95%\u2014 the smaller wintering populations in southern California have increased by an astounding 300%. The grebes have simply shifted their wintering grounds.\nGeneralists stay, specialists leave\nPeter Arcese, a biology professor at the University of British Columbia who was a co-author on the western grebe paper, says that the grebe\u2019s rigid diet explains their new preference for California waters. While Pacific herring in the Salish Sea have declined, Pacific sardine in California have recovered; since 1985, the stock has increased from an estimated few thousand metric tons to 1.42 million in 2007. Disinclined to forage for other prey, western grebes, sensibly, have followed the food they like. \u201cGeneralists change their diet,\u201d Arcese says. \u201cSpecialists leave.\u201d\nBut if the story of the western grebe shows the challenges that specialists face, even those Salish Sea species that are generalists, such as the glaucous-winged gull, are not immune to the shifting fortunes of their environment.\nIn the early 20th Century, glaucous-winged gulls declined due to intense egging, when people would collect wild bird eggs en masse to eat. After the practice was banned in the 1920s, they started to recover. However, in the past 30 years, their numbers have begun to drop again. The roots of the decline seem to stem from waning reproduction: between 1962 and 2009, gulls laid fewer eggs each year, and those eggs tended to be smaller. (The smaller the egg from which a chick hatches, the less likely that chick is to fledge, generally.)\nEffects of Egging on the Reproductive Success of Glaucous-Winged Gulls\nK. Vermeer, K. H. Morgan, G. E. J. Smith and B. A. York\nVol. 14, No. 2 (1991), pp. 158-165\nPublished by: Waterbird Society\nWhy has egg production tailed off? Arcese and researcher Louise Blight believe that, as with the western grebe, the culprit is food, or its absence. Stable isotope analysis by Arcese and Blight of gull head and wing feathers from museum specimens dating back to the 1860s shows that gulls are feeding at lower levels in the food web now than they were in centuries past. Like the grebes, gulls used to forage for Pacific herring. Unlike the grebes, when the herring disappeared, the gulls stayed. As generalists, they were able to shift their diet, but appear to be paying a price for that.\nNot all the news is dire. Despite the downturns, Arcese suspects that the Salish Sea \u201cmight be turning a corner,\u201d after years of low overall biological productivity. Rhinoceros auklets are returning, as are humpback whales and minkes, the former having disappeared due to whaling in the early 1900s. These whales, in turn, might be competing with birds for forage fish. And gulls, for their part, might not be declining just because of food; bald eagles, whose recovery has occurred concurrently with the gull decline, might be suppressing the numbers of those birds that thrived in their absence.\n(full text):\nFood Web Structure and Trophic Control in Central Puget Sound\nChris J. Harvey, Gregory D. Williams, Phillip S. Levin\nEstuaries and Coasts. 01/2012; 35(3).\nCould the Salish Sea ecosystem simply be returning to some earlier norm, with hungry whales and marauding eagles, and seabirds in between? Or do the range shifts of grebes and the declines of gulls herald a new normal? For Arcese, these are not necessarily the most helpful questions. Even if people speak in terms of balance or equilibrium, the ecological communities that may or may not be rebalancing themselves do so in an environment vastly different from what it once was. More important is to understand the health of the ecosystem in its present state, regardless of how it came to be the way it is. That means watching the seabirds, he says, something scientists will be doing intensely in coming years as they continue to measure the health of the Salish Sea.\nView photos of species mentioned in this story.\nScott Pearson, Ph.D.\nSenior Research Scientist and Westside Research Team Leader, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.

        "raw_content": "The European Commission is planning to enact a new cyber security regulation according to which manufacturers will have to certify their products in order to confirm that they have appropriate security mechanisms to protect their products and services against attacks. For this reason, Martin Emele, Vice President Marketing and Business Strategy Cyber Security, External Affairs & Governmental and Political Relations at ESCRYPT\u2019s parent company ETAS, took part in a political dinner debate at the European Parliament in Brussels on January 23.\nIn his speech, he pointed out that - especially with regard to the automotive industry - more connectivity also means more responsibility on the part of manufacturers. This implies a strong focus on cyber security in order to achieve trust and wide acceptance of their IoT products. The Bosch Group would therefore welcome the European Commission\u2019s \u201cCybersecurity Act\u201d as an important first step towards more security in our increasingly connected world. But Martin Emele also made suggestions for improvement. He demanded, for example, a holistic and dynamic approach instead of static certification schemes. Because, in the end, it is not only about protecting a product. It is equally important to detect threats and to react accordingly. Or even better: to predict and avoid attacks in the first place.\nFurthermore, he said that the \u201cCybersecurity Act\u201d should only be the first step towards raising cyber security awareness via voluntary schemes. In addition, a second step for achieving a harmonized product regulation for cyber security is necessary, where the regulator defines what needs to be done in terms of high-level policies and security requirements for dedicated product sectors or classes.\nIn addition to Martin Emele, representatives from the European Parliament as well as from other industries, i.e. Siemens, ABB, GE Aviation, and Schneider Electric contributed to the discussion with speeches.\nPlease find details of Martin Emele\u2019s speech here.",

        "title": "Term Paper: Women-Workforce Effects \u2026 | 22 Pages",
        "raw_content": "Women-Workforce Effects Term Paper\nPages: 22 (6393 words) \u00b7 Bibliography Sources: 1+ \u00b7 Level: College Senior \u00b7 Topic: Leadership \u00b7 Buy This Paper\n[. . .] This theory also suggests that leaders exhibit certain leadership styles and behaviors based on what people expect of them as a male or female; this expectancy is also referred to as gender roles (Eagly & Johannesen-Schmidt, 2001). Gender roles are defined as the \"shared beliefs that apply to individuals on the basis of their socially identified sex\" (Eagly & Johannesen-Schmidt, 2001, p. 781).\nThus based on this theory leadership roles are assumed to result from \"perceiver's observations\" of men and women as \"concentrated in different social roles in the family and paid employment\" (Eagly & Johannesen-Schmidt, 2001, p. 781). One logically concludes then that leadership styles take on the form of stereotypical behaviors and styles assigned men and women based on their sex, not on their actually skills or capabilities.\nAuthoritative Vs. Interpersonal Attributes\nWith regard to gender roles and leadership styles, there are certain characteristics that are more often attributed to men than women. Men are more typically ascribed as having Authoritative characteristics which include a style that is assertive, confident, aggressive, forceful, independent, daring and competitive (Eagly & Johannesen-Schmidt, 2001; Eagly et. al, 2000).\nWomen on the other hand in employment settings are more often associated with traits such as a concern for the well being of employees, and a leadership style that is more sympathetic, interpersonal, nurturing and gentle (Eagly & Johannesen-Schmidt, 2001). Thus in an employment environment women may more often unfortunately be seen as more likely to avoid drawing attention to themselves and supporting and soothing others rather than leading them.\nDoes the assignment of a leadership position eliminate the influence of gender roles? Research in corporate settings suggests that \"although some gender-stereotypic differences erode under the influence of organizational roles, others do not\" (Eagly & Johannesen-Schmidt, 2001, p. 781).\nOne study using an experience sampling methodology suggested that strong stereotypically male 'Authoritative' behavior was controlled relative to the status of a person engaged in an interaction, however 'communal' behaviors often attributed to female gender roles were indeed still influenced by the sex of people engaged in interaction regardless of their status (Eagly, et. al, 2000; Eagly & Johannesen-Schmidt, 2001).\nThe research does support the notion that leaders whether male or female must carry out the same required activities. The manner in which they are carried out and the manner in which decisions are made however are up to an individual's discretion, and may vary according to gender.\nSome research argues that gender influenced behavior results when \"gendered expectancies\" are put upon leaders by individuals reactions to them and a leaders response to such expectancies; further the research supports the notion that many people internalize gender roles and reflect those roles in their leadership style (Eagly et. al, 2000; Wood, Christensen, Hebl & Rothgerber, 1997; Eagly & Johannesen-Schmidt, 2001).\nEly (1995) suggests that because of different social identities, men and women have different expectations of their own behavior in organization settings, and create self-definitions of what they believe a good leadership style to be; these definitions may reflect \"a blending of their managerial role and gender role\" (Eagly & Johannesen-Schmidt, 2001, p. 782).\nOne study conducted of the influence of self-definition of managers and its influence on leadership style suggests that men score slightly higher than women on scales that assessed the desire to \"manifest competitive and assertive qualities in managing\" (Eagly, Karau, Miner & Johnson, 1994; from Eagly & Johannesen-Schmidt, 2001, p. 782).\nThere is some evidence that suggests that women elicit negative opinions and evaluations when they exhibit traditionally 'male' behaviors such as competitiveness and assertiveness. This may be attributed in part to gender stereotyping, or to cultural norms which contribute to the notion that women are better at interpersonal tasks and men are better at assertive/management type roles. In an organization that is male dominated, it is likely that this type of thinking is more difficult to overcome than in one that is more equally mixed.\nSimilarity of Leadership Styles to Traditional Gender Roles\nResearch also suggests that congruity should exist between traditional male and female gender and leadership roles. Some studies argue that incongruity between female gender roles and typical leadership roles (often male oriented) \"tends to create prejudice toward female leaders and potential leaders\" in the form of less favorable evaluation of women's potential for leadership and less favorable evaluation of actual leadership style (Eagly & Johannesen-Schmidt, 2001, p. 782). Thus women are less well evaluated if they exhibit Authoritative or typically masculine behaviors.\nMany of the typical female \"stereotypical qualities\" are often qualities that are not favored in leaders, thus males are automatically assumed to be more fit for the role of leader than women are (Eagly & Johannesen-Schmidt, 2001). Women are also more often expected to demonstrate characteristic communal leadership styles; in fact this style is thought to be 'preferred' in women, and women who violate this stereotypical style may be evaluated negatively as a consequence (Eagly & Johannesen, 2001, p. 782).\nConforming to a gender role that assumes that women are not assertive and competitive however may jeopardize a woman's chances for success and achievement in the role of a leader. There is a greater potential for prejudice in the workforce against women because a woman's stereotypical gender role varies more significantly from a traditional leadership role than a male gender role does. Thus negative sanctions are more likely to be employed against potential women leaders than men (Eagly & Johannesen-Schmidt, 2001, p. 782).\nTypes of Leadership Style\nThere are many different approaches to leadership. Among the more common include a task-oriented leadership style and an interpersonal oriented style. The task oriented style more often demands structured organization, explicit rules conformance and maintenance of high standards as well as a demand that subordinates produce a high level of performance (Eagly & Johannesen, 2001, p. 782). An interpersonal leadership style however often includes behaviors including helping others, supporting and helping out subordinates rather than encouraging them to simply follow rules and procedures and looking out for the welfare of employees (Eagly & Johannesen, 2001, p. 782).\nLeadership styles can also include the tendency of an individual to behave in a manner that encourages group decision making or a more autocratic and domineering style which commands more obedient and less participative behavior from subordinates (Bass, 1990; Eagly & Johannesen-Schmidt, 2001). This tendency toward being more democratic vs. more autocratic usually is also often associated more often to gender roles, with men more likely to demonstrate autocratic leadership styles and females more prone to demonstrate democratic styles according to research (Bass, 1990; Eagly & Johannesen-Schmidt, 2001).\nOther research suggests that women demonstrate more transformational leadership styles characterized by communal behaviors and individual consideration such as mentoring, whereas a transactional style characterized by establishing exchange relationships with subordinates is more often a male leadership style (Hackman, Fumiss, Hills & Paterson, 1992; Ross & Offermann, 1997). Thus one may conclude that male leadership styles are more often considered task-oriented and autocratic whereas female leaders are more often considered communal leaders (Eagly & Johannesen-Schmidt, 2001, p. 782).\nThese differences are often minimal in nature however, and again more often associated with expectancies rather than the actual skills of males vs. females. People often behave in the way that they are expected to. If an organization expects that a male leader then, is more likely to be successful because he will be aggressive and assertive, then they are more likely to promote a male to this role.\nThe main categories of leadership style may be categorized as follows: task-oriented, autocratic, interpersonal and democratic. The latter two are more often associated with female leadership styles. Task and interpersonal styles are compared with democratic and autocratic styles in many studies (Eagly & Johnson, 1990). An actual analysis of these styles was conducted by Eagly and Johnson in 1990. The study suggested that men and women did not vary significantly with regard to task oriented style, and a very small tendency of women were more interpersonally oriented than men; however men were clearly more autocratic and directive whereas women were more democratic and participative than men in the study (Eagly & Johnson, 1990).\nIt is important to note that a democratic and participative style can be very beneficial and productive for organizations. There is no body of research which suggests that an autocratic style is more effective than a democratic one in a large majority of organizations. The success of one style vs. another is largely dependent on the features of an organizational environment (Vroom & Yetton, 1973; Foels, Driskell, Mullen & Salas, 2000).\nPrejudice against female leaders and leadership style more often occurs in situations where a position is considered male dominated or thought to require more male oriented stereotypical qualities such as assertiveness, aggressiveness and competitiveness (Eagly & Karau, 2001).\nIn other studies the following was found: men are more task oriented than women and\u2026 [END OF PREVIEW]\nWomen in Leadership the Characteristics and Advantage Research Paper \u2026\nWomen in Leadership: The Characteristics and Advantage of Women\nWomen in Leadership: Obstacles to the Characteristics and Advantages of Women\nThe issue of women in leadership has\u2026\nWomen in the Workplace Has Been Explored Term Paper \u2026\n\u00b6 \u2026 women in the workplace has been explored thoroughly in the past half century.

The 42 respondents represented a diverse and experienced group of individuals from 20 countries from all major regions of Europe.\nThe most significant finding of the survey was that the majority of respondents (85%) remained in favour of maintaining the original linkage of EU sanctions removal with Russia\u2019s actions in Ukraine BUT 52% believed sanctions should be phased out gradually in return for gradual implementation of Minsk 2 agreement.\nA transformation of Russia\u2019s policy, not accommodation with Moscow, should be the EU\u2019s goal. The current EU policy of making a full resumption of ties and any future deepening of cooperation with Russia contingent on a change in Russian behaviour received the broadest support.\nThe top three areas of potential EU security cooperation with Russia, as identified by the respondents, should be: the Middle East crisis, the fight against terrorism, and non-proliferation.\nThe results of the survey confirm that there are no simple solutions to improve the state of EU \u2013 Russian relations. However the majority of the respondents rejected the notion that the EU should start \u2018adjusting\u2019 itself to Russian behaviour and seek a new opening in the relationship, for example by removing the sanctions or supporting a major adjustment of the principles of the European security order in line with Russian proposals.\nAt the same time, the judgement that the EU and Russia are pre-determined to part ways was very much a minority view. This suggests that with enough political will, especially on the Russian side, and some creative diplomacy, it might be possible to find an acceptable modus vivendi and avoid clashes over our policies.",

        "raw_content": "How To Purchase Services For Digital Transformation | Sherpas in Blue Shirts\nBy Peter Bendor-Samuel | Blog, Digital Transformation, Outsourcing\nDisruptive technologies enable dramatic new ways of doing work and delivering value to customers. Understandably, companies are rushing to implement disruptive technologies to change their business so that they can better serve their customers, employees, partners with new value and lower their total cost of ownership. Achieving this goal necessitates assembling a digital platform. However, few companies have the resources to build and maintain a platform alone, so they need to contract with third-party service providers. Here\u2019s the problem: the classic procurement approach for third-party services doesn\u2019t work with digital transformation.\nDead Deal Costs Will Kill the Services Industry | Sherpas in Blue Shirts\nI\u2019ve blogged extensively on how the industrialized arbitrage market is maturing rapidly. One of the many frustrating aspects of a maturing services market is that a dominant portion of procurements for larger opportunities come through RFPs. These RFPs require sophisticated and elaborate responses with large deal teams and solutioning teams working at the provider\u2019s expense to create a compelling response. This cost is growing, and what\u2019s worse is that it\u2019s not unusual for providers to lose 66 percent of these costly bids.\nIn the large-deal segment, it\u2019s not uncommon for service providers to spend $1 million \u2013 and in some cases as much as $10 million \u2013 to respond to the RFPs. These costs are often disseminated through the service provider and not easily recognized; they are borne by the individual delivery teams and therefore can creep up or grow unmonitored by the service provider. When viewed objectively, the costs amount to a substantial amount of money.\nAt Everest Group, we\u2019ve done a significant amount of work on competitiveness and improving providers\u2019 win rates. For world-class performers, the win rate is around 33 percent of their opportunities \u2013 which means that they lose 66 percent. Let\u2019s take the low end of this range as an example. If it costs $2 million to respond to an RFP and solutioning for a winning bid, it costs $6 million for a deal the provider doesn\u2019t win.\nThese unreimbursed \u201cdead deal\u201d costs are an increasing drag on providers\u2019 profitability and are a significant contributor to service providers\u2019 growing cost of sales.\nThe implications of this are very significant for service providers seeking to maintain their growth by bidding for larger transactions.\nHere\u2019s my question: Can the industry change this?\nYes, there are numerous solutions. One is for providers to pursue only the opportunities that they have a realistic chance of winning.\nHere\u2019s another question:\nCan the industry shift away from these dead deal costs, instead giving solutioning free to the client in the RFP response?\nEffectively, the provider would move to a more consultative structure in which the highest value is not given away in a free solution but is paid by the client in consulting services.\nThese are intriguing thoughts. This structure would be difficult to accomplish \u2013 but well worth the journey if it can be changed.\nFOMO (\u201cFear of Missing Out\u201d) \u2013 the Service Provider\u2019s Ebola | Sherpas in Blue Shirts\nFOMO is reaching epidemic proportions among service providers. We see it particularly in the Indian firms, but it\u2019s not confined to the Indian providers. It starts in the sales teams as they fall behind in their sales goals; then it spreads and infects the entire organization.\nYou can easily identify the providers infected with FOMO. In the marketplace, there is no RFP or opportunity they don\u2019t want to contest. The FOMO infection causes them to run from client to client with the newest PowerPoint presentations of great promises. But the decks aren\u2019t compelling and lack depth, so the buyers don\u2019t believe the providers\u2019 messages. The buyers aren\u2019t infected with FOMO, so they aren\u2019t blind enough to believe that one company can be great at everything.\nBecause of FOMO, the providers don\u2019t spend enough time with the existing or potential client to be able to develop the necessary depth.\nThose free of FOMO actually outperform in the market consistently and build a much more relevant perspective unique to a client because of their effort to gain a more in-depth understanding of the client.\nThey focus on a client\u2019s issues rather than chasing every RFP. They only go after opportunities where they have developed a perspective. They put most of their sales resources into focusing on existing clients instead of developing go-to-market schemes for yet-uncaptured clients.\nParadoxically, not only do disciplined providers outperform other providers with their existing clients, but they also outperform in the marketplace with new clients. This is because when they do engage, they engage in a thoughtful, impactful way.\nFortunately for services buyers, FOMO hasn\u2019t infected the entire services industry.\nAvoiding a Big \u201cGotcha\u201d in the RFP Process | Sherpas in Blue Shirts\nHere\u2019s a blatant truth: Any company looking to procure outsourced services can get into a similar situation as the government faced with its healthcare.gov website before it switched the work to Accenture to fix the debacle. That\u2019s because the RFP process is a breeding ground for \u201cgotchas\u201d that eventually can evaporate a deal\u2019s ROI or, at best, result in a deal that yields just so-so outcomes. I\u2019ve studied the RFP process in my 30 years in this business and observed insanity \u2014 that is, companies doing the same thing again and again but expecting different results. I think it\u2019s time to resequence the RFP process.\nThe foundational error in the RFP process\nTypically in a services procurement process the buyer first defines its objectives and then goes to the market to understand which providers are well positioned to meet those objectives. After some consultation, the buyer codifies those requirements into a request for proposal and works the RFP scope through a series of design workshops to truly understand the providers\u2019 responses and help them better shape their proposals to address the buyer\u2019s needs. The result is a number of very similar offers, competing on little more than price as well as terms and conditions.\nSo it\u2019s no surprise that this RFP process sequence means the provider-selection decision is actually based on price. Despite best intentions, and even documents that say price isn\u2019t the buyer\u2019s biggest driver and it\u2019s positioned at #4 or #5 on the selection-criteria list, the RFP process makes price the most powerful determinant.\nA proposal for resequencing the RFP process\nPerhaps what we need to do is to change the process to first define the problem and allow providers to build different, not the same, solutions around their strengths. This switches the process from an apples-to-apples perspective to an apples-to-oranges view with evaluation based on total cost and total effectiveness rather than price.\nAt this point the buyer would thoroughly examine and weigh the capability of the best-and-final two providers to deliver the offered service. This is different from getting client references, which often are manipulated.\nIndustry angst\nWill the industry seize the chance to operate from this new level of thinking in the RFP process, or will it display angst? I perceive substantial pushback from both the procurement community as well as the provider/vendor community. The procurement community is happy to compete on price, and the provider/vendor community doesn\u2019t want to unnecessarily spend scarce resources on bidding and legal fees before assurance of a high probability of a win.\nNotwithstanding initial angst and pushback to my proposal, I certainly believe the RFP process needs to change.\nPhoto credit: Ahmillar",

        "raw_content": "Light rail link hopes linking Sandwell and Dudley are dashed\nA light rail service linking Dudley and Sandwell has been dropped \u2013 as transport bosses cling to hopes of a Metro extension between the two boroughs.\nThe 'very light rail' line between Dudley Port and the town was to open in 2019. But the route has now been changed.\nIt will now run from a newly built technology centre at the bottom of Castle Hill, through Dudley Tunnel, and terminate close to Cinder Bank.\nThe decision was made to keep the former freight line past Dudley clear for the planned Midland Metro extension from Wednesbury to Merry Hill.\nBosses say the very light rail line, which will serve as a testing facility for new railcar technology, required a stretch of tunnel.\nDudley Council's cabinet member for transport, Khurshid Ahmed, said changing the route of the service was part of 'looking at the wider picture'.\nEarlier this year plans to revive the Midland Metro extension to Dudley, Merry Hill and Brierley Hill were bolstered by \u00a3100,000 of funding toward developing the scheme. Meanwhile, proposals are still on track for the technology centre, on the site of the former Dudley railway station, with expected opening in 2019.\nThe Very Light Rail Innovation Centre and testing track is part of a scheme by Warwick Manufacturing Group, which struck a deal with Dudley Council two years ago. It will employ 45 people at the outset.\nCouncillor Ahmed said: \"This re-route of the line has happened because of the Midland Metro extension to Dudley. We have to think bigger and realise the potential of the Metro which will link Dudley with not just Dudley Port, but with Wednesbury and Merry Hill.\n\"This is not bad news, this is good news for the town \u2013 while at the same time we will see new rail technology being tested in our town centre. I'm looking forward to seeing the progress of both schemes.\"\nThe new route will be 2km in length and stop just before where the proposed Metro line would leave the freight line at Cinder Bank.\nIt ends immediate hopes of an end to a wait for a rail route between the town centre and Dudley Port railway station. The line was last used for freight in 1993, while Dudley Railway Station closed in 1964. The Metro line is proposed to pass the new innovation centre before heading up Castle Hill. It is planned to be open in 2022/2023.\nNews Transport",

        "title": "FaithWriters.com-Christian Bible Studies - A Few Stories About Water, Out With The Old",
        "raw_content": "A Few Stories About Water, Out With The Old\nby Jeremiah Mitchell\nAfter the crossing of the Red Sea, Israel spent 40 years in the desert. Despite God\ufffds provision and salvation, Israel often would not trust YHWH and they rebelled against Him. When the people were too scared of the people living in the land of the promise to go and take the land promised to their forefathers, God said that those who refused to go up into the land would die before they ever had the chance to enter it. The Jews did not trust God to defeat their enemies, so God would not trust those people to take care of the land He promised. Therefore, Israel wandered in the wilderness for 40 years until the rebellious generation died off.\nIsrael came to the waters of the Jordan river while it was overflowing. They were in another predicament in which God wanted them to cross a large body of water where there wasn\ufffdt exactly an easy way across. The Levites stepped into the water holding the ark of the covenant, and God stopped the flow of the river so that the water moving downstream was stopped and it rose in a heap. There was a giant wall of water on one side and an empty riverbed on the other. YHWH intervened on behalf of his people, uncovering land where there was once only water, and Israel walked across the river on dry ground.\nIf we think about this story in light of some of our other water stories, it\ufffds easy to see similarities. The water of the Jordan functions as a tool for cleansing the covenant people of God. In the story of Re-Creation, the floodwaters swallow up the rebellious and destructive evil in Noah\ufffds world and when the water subsided, the evil had been cleansed from the earth. In the Red Sea crossing, the evil that was keeping God\ufffds people enslaved, from worshipping their God rightly, and from living fully was destroyed and the people of Israel were cleansed and freed from Egypt, leaving it in and on the other side of the Red Sea. Israel had to wait to cross the Jordan river until all of the people who refused to go into the promised land the first time had died. Symbolically, the water of the river represents Israel being cleansed of those who rebelled. The generation of disobedience had passed away and they were left on the other side of the Jordan. Israel arrived at the other side of the river purified of those who opposed God.\nIsrael\ufffds arrival on the other side of the Jordan marked a significant transition for the covenant people of God. When the waters of Creation were brought together to one place, the land that appeared was home to the first of God\ufffds people. Life had begun. After the floodwaters subsided, humanity started anew, free to honor God because the powerful image destroyers were eliminated. The old way of life was gone and a new way had begun. When Israel arrived on the other side of the Red Sea, Egypt completely lost its grasp on them and they were free to be a sovereign nation belonging to YHWH. The old way of life was gone and a new way had begun. If you read the book of Deuteronomy, perhaps even if you did a word search for \ufffdJordan,\ufffd it is very clear that crossing the Jordan river is the equivalent of entering the promised land. There\ufffds a lot more for Israel to do upon entering, but the act of crossing is the first step in that process. Israel\ufffds arrival on the other side of the Jordan marks their transition from being nomadic wanderers to a people with a permanent home. The old way of life was gone and a new way had begun.\nThe crossing of the Red Sea affirmed the YHWH was with Moses as leader over Israel. Crossing the Jordan river affirmed that YHWH was with Joshua, the new leader of Israel. God showed that just like He had been with Moses over the last 40+ years as he led Israel, so God would be with Joshua. By miraculously holding up the waters of the Jordan, just as God did with the Red Sea, it would become clear to the people of Israel that Joshua was trustworthy and chosen by God to be their leader as they entered the promised land to take what God gave them. Joshua would be the one to take the new generation of Israel into their new way of life.\nRead more articles by Jeremiah Mitchell or search for other articles by topic below.",

        "raw_content": "Millennials Want Companies That Work On Innovative Ways To Fix The World\nThe majority of millennials think they\u2019re innovative people. They want to work at\u2013and give their money to\u2013innovative companies that are good for society.\nIn spite of all the economic, societal, and environmental obstacles thrown their way, millennials the world over still believe that things can change\u2013and that business in particular can move the world into a better place.\nDeloitte\u2019s 2013 Global Millennial Survey asked millennials who were born after January 1982 about how business can innovate and impact society. These are some of the highlights of their answers.\nSome 65% of respondents, who were located in 16 markets around the world, believe that their company conducts activities that benefit society (wishful thinking?). In Brazil, 83% of respondents feel this way; just 46% of respondents in South Korea agree with the statement, however. Across the world, millennials have faith in the power of business innovation\u201371% of respondents said that they think business innovations directly improve society. In China, where economic development is on a serious upward swing, 86% of millennials agreed with the statement.\nWhen it comes to societal challenges, millennials don\u2019t all agree. In the next 20 years, Brazilians believe resource scarcity will be the biggest issue, while millennials in countries including the U.S. and India are most concerned about inflation, and respondents in South Africa and many Western European countries are worried about unemployment. Overall, 24% of millennials think that the business world should be paying the most attention to environmental issues, while 23% think that it should focus on inequality.\nIn many countries, including the Netherlands, the U.S., India, and Germany, millennials think that the purpose of business is to improve society (36% of respondents believe this overall). Unsurprisingly, in a handful of other countries, like South Korea and South Africa, survey respondents thought that the primary purpose of business is to generate profit. In China and Spain, millennials think that business should drive innovation.\nMost millennials think that the technology and media sectors are the most innovative, followed by consumer business and manufacturing. They believe that the public sector and energy and resource sector are most in need of innovation. In Russia, however, millennials think that healthcare needs the most help, and in Japan, China, and Southeast Asia, this group thinks that manufacturing is most wanting.\nThe majority of millennials think they\u2019re innovative people who work at innovative companies. But some countries have millennials who are more self-confident in their innovative nature than others. In India, Thailand, South Africa, Brazil, and the U.S., over 70% of respondents identify themselves as being innovative individuals. Just 24% of Japanese respondents think this, probably because of the country\u2019s strong group-oriented culture.\nThe message is clear: Businesses that want to attract millennials need to emphasize their innovative ways and positive societal impacts. There are some regional differences in what millennials want, sure, but for the most part, people just want to feel like they are working towards something that makes a difference.",

        "raw_content": "Jury Convicts Businessmen of International Fraud Scheme\nJACKSONVILLE, FL\u2014United States Attorney A. Lee Bentley, III announces that a federal jury has found Mitchell Holland (52, San Diego, CA), Warren Rosenfeld (60, Plano, TX), and Rondell Scott Hedrick (50, Lexington, NC) guilty of multiple counts of wire fraud. Holland was convicted on nine counts, Rosenfeld was convicted on four counts, and Hedrick was convicted on three counts. Each faces up to 20 years in prison on each count.\nAccording to evidence presented during the 12-day trial, beginning in mid-2009, when bank lending was very limited due to the economy, Rosenfeld, Holland, Hedrick, and others promoted themselves as specialists in securing and using alternative financing. During that time, individuals throughout the country contacted Holland concerning his ability to arrange for alternative capital financing through his company, Vital Funds, Inc. Holland claimed that he could arrange for a New Zealand Finance Company (Unistate Investments Savings and Loan Limited) to fund a leased Certificate of Deposit at a branch of Chase Manhattan Bank in the British West Indies. Such a bank did not exist.\nThe individuals seeking financing were then referred to Hendrick, who would offer to assist in liquidating the leased Certificate of Deposit. In one instance, Hedrick offered a victim in Jacksonville the opportunity to purchase a banking passport that would permit oversees banking with fewer restrictions. Hedrick had no such ability to obtain the banking passport, and simply stole the individual\u2019s $29,000.\nRosenfeld, via his corporation, Aster Capital, Inc., represented himself as an individual who reviewed contract documents for Holland and Vital Funds in a quasi-attorney role. Rosenfeld later removed his company\u2019s label from various contract documents and Holland and Vital Funds became the main point of contact for the clients seeking alternative financing (Leased Certificates of Deposit, Standby Letters of Credit, Proof of Funds Accounts, and Verifications of Deposit). Rosenfeld prohibited the brokers from allowing the clients to contact him.\nRosenfeld (Aster Capital), Holland (Vital Funds), and Unistate representatives split the initial account arrangement fees provided to an escrow company by the clients. These fees ranged from $300,000 to $625,500.

        "title": "FRB Speech, Bernanke -- On Milton Friedman's ninetieth birthday -- November 8, 2002",
        "raw_content": "Remarks by Governor Ben S. Bernanke\nAt the Conference to Honor Milton Friedman, University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois\nOn Milton Friedman's Ninetieth Birthday\nI can think of no greater honor than being invited to speak on the occasion of Milton Friedman's ninetieth birthday. Among economic scholars, Friedman has no peer. His seminal contributions to economics are legion, including his development of the permanent-income theory of consumer spending, his paradigm-shifting research in monetary economics, and his stimulating and original essays on economic history and methodology. Generations of graduate students, at the University of Chicago and elsewhere, have benefited from his insight; and many of these intellectual children and grandchildren continue to this day to extend the sway of Friedman's ideas in economics. What is more, Milton Friedman's influence on broader public opinion, exercised through his popular writings, speaking, and television appearances, has been at least as important and enduring as his impact on academic thought. In his humane and engaging way, Milton Friedman has conveyed to millions an understanding of the economic benefits of free, competitive markets, as well as the close connection that economic freedoms such as property rights and freedom of contract bear to other types of liberty.\nToday I'd like to honor Milton Friedman by talking about one of his greatest contributions to economics, made in close collaboration with his distinguished coauthor, Anna J. Schwartz. This achievement is nothing less than to provide what has become the leading and most persuasive explanation of the worst economic disaster in American history, the onset of the Great Depression--or, as Friedman and Schwartz dubbed it, the Great Contraction of 1929-33. Remarkably, Friedman and Schwartz did not set out to solve this complex and important problem specifically but rather addressed it as part of a larger project, their magisterial monetary history of the United States (Friedman and Schwartz, 1963). As a personal aside, I note that I first read A Monetary History of the United States early in my graduate school years at M.I.T. I was hooked, and I have been a student of monetary economics and economic history ever since.1 I think many others have had that experience, with the result that the direct and indirect influences of the Monetary History on contemporary monetary economics would be difficult to overstate.\nAs everyone here knows, in their Monetary History Friedman and Schwartz made the case that the economic collapse of 1929-33 was the product of the nation's monetary mechanism gone wrong. Contradicting the received wisdom at the time that they wrote, which held that money was a passive player in the events of the 1930s, Friedman and Schwartz argued that \"the contraction is in fact a tragic testimonial to the importance of monetary forces [p. 300; all page references refer to Friedman and Schwartz, 1963].\"\nFriedman and Schwartz's account of the Great Contraction is impressive in its erudition and development of historical detail, including the use of many previously untapped primary sources. But what is most important about the work, and the reason that the book is as influential today as ever, is the authors' subtle use of history to disentangle complicated skeins of cause and effect--to solve what economists call the identification problem. A statistician studying data from the Great Depression would notice the basic fact that the money stock, output, and prices in the United States went down together in 1929 through 1933 and up together in subsequent years. But these correlations cannot answer the crucial questions: What is causing what? Are changes in the money stock largely causing changes in prices and output, as Friedman and Schwartz were to conclude? Or, instead, is the stock of money reacting passively to changes in the state of economy? Or is there yet some other, unmeasured factor that is affecting all three variables?\nThe special genius of the Monetary History is the authors' use of what some today would call \"natural experiments\"--in this context, episodes in which money moves for reasons that are plausibly unrelated to the current state of the economy. By locating such episodes, then observing what subsequently occurred in the economy, Friedman and Schwartz laboriously built the case that the causality can be interpreted as running (mostly) from money to output and prices, so that the Great Depression can reasonably be described as having been caused by monetary forces. Of course, natural experiments are never perfectly controlled, so that no single natural experiment can be viewed as dispositive--hence the importance of Friedman and Schwartz's historical analysis, which adduces a wide variety of such episodes and comparisons in support of their case. I think the most useful thing I can do in the remainder of my talk today is to remind you of the genius of the Friedman-Schwartz methodology by reviewing some of their main examples and describing how they have held up in subsequent research.\nFour Monetary Policy Episodes\nTo reiterate, at the heart of Friedman and Schwartz's identification strategy is the examination of historical periods in the attempt to identify changes in the money stock or in monetary policy that occurred for reasons largely unrelated to the contemporaneous behavior of output and prices. To the extent that these monetary changes can reasonably be construed as \"exogenous,\" one can interpret the response of the economy to the changes as reflecting cause and effect--particularly if a similar pattern is found again and again.\nFor the early Depression era, Friedman and Schwartz identified at least four distinct episodes that seem to meet these criteria. Three are tightenings of policy; one is a loosening. In each case, the economy responded in the way that the monetary theory of the Great Depression would predict. I will discuss each of these episodes briefly, both because they nicely illustrate the Friedman-Schwartz method and because they are interesting in themselves.\nThe first episode analyzed by Friedman and Schwartz was the deliberate tightening of monetary policy that began in the spring of 1928 and continued until the stock market crash of October 1929. This policy tightening occurred in conditions that we would not today normally consider conducive to tighter money: As Friedman and Schwartz noted, the business-cycle trough had only just been reached at the end of 1927 (the NBER's official trough date is November 1927), commodity prices were declining, and there was not the slightest hint of inflation.2 Why then did the Federal Reserve tighten in early 1928? A principal reason was the Board's ongoing concern about speculation on Wall Street. The Federal Reserve had long made the distinction between \"productive\" and \"speculative\" uses of credit, and the rising stock market and the associated increases in bank loans to brokers were thus a major concern.3 Benjamin Strong, the influential Governor of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and a key protagonist in Friedman and Schwartz's narrative, had strong reservations about using monetary policy to try to arrest the stock market boom. Unfortunately, Strong was afflicted by chronic tuberculosis; his health was declining severely in 1928 (he died in October) and, with it, his influence in the Federal Reserve System.\nThe \"antispeculative\" policy tightening of 1928-29 was affected to some degree by the developing feud between Strong's successor at the New York Fed, George Harrison, and members of the Federal Reserve Board in Washington. In particular, the two sides disagreed on the best method for restraining brokers' loans: The Board favored so-called \"direct action,\" essentially a program of moral suasion, while Harrison thought that only increases in the discount rate (that is, the policy rate) would be effective. This debate was resolved in Harrison's favor in 1929, and direct action was dropped in favor of a further rate increase. Despite this sideshow and its effects on the timing of policy actions, it would be incorrect to infer that monetary policy was not tight during the dispute between Washington and New York. As Friedman and Schwartz noted (p. 289), \"by July [1928], the discount rate had been raised in New York to 5 per cent, the highest since 1921, and the System's holdings of government securities had been reduced to a level of over $600 million at the end of 1927 to $210 million by August 1928, despite an outflow of gold.\" Hence this period represents a tightening in monetary policy not related to the current state of output and prices--a monetary policy \"innovation,\" in today's statistical jargon.\nMoreover, Friedman and Schwartz went on to point out that this tightening of policy was followed by falling prices and weaker economic activity: \"During the two months from the cyclical peak in August 1929 to the crash, production, wholesale prices, and personal income fell at annual rates of 20 per cent, 7-1/2 per cent, and 5 per cent, respectively.\" Of course, once the crash occurred in October--the result, many students of the period have surmised, of a slowing economy as much as any fundamental overvaluation--the economic decline became even more precipitous. Incidentally, the case that money was quite tight as early as the spring of 1928 has been strengthened by the subsequent work of James Hamilton (1987). Hamilton showed that the Fed's desire to slow outflows of U.S. gold to France--which under the leadership of Henri Poincar\ufffd had recently stabilized its economy, thereby attracting massive flows of gold from abroad--further tightened U.S. monetary policy.\nThe next episode studied by Friedman and Schwartz, another tightening, occurred in September 1931, following the sterling crisis. In that month, a wave of speculative attacks on the pound forced Great Britain to leave the gold standard. Anticipating that the United States might be the next to leave gold, speculators turned their attention from the pound to the dollar. Central banks and private investors converted a substantial quantity of dollar assets to gold in September and October of 1931. The resulting outflow of gold reserves (an \"external drain\") also put pressure on the U.S. banking system (an \"internal drain\"), as foreigners liquidated dollar deposits and domestic depositors withdrew cash in anticipation of additional bank failures. Conventional and long-established central banking practice would have mandated responses to both the external and internal drains, but the Federal Reserve--by this point having forsworn any responsibility for the U.S. banking system, as I will discuss later--decided to respond only to the external drain. As Friedman and Schwarz wrote, \"The Federal Reserve System reacted vigorously and promptly to the external drain. . . . On October 9 [1931], the Reserve Bank of New York raised its rediscount rate to 2-1/2 per cent, and on October 16, to 3-1/2 per cent--the sharpest rise within so brief a period in the whole history of the System, before or since (p. 317).\" This action stemmed the outflow of gold but contributed to what Friedman and Schwartz called a \"spectacular\" increase in bank failures and bank runs, with 522 commercial banks closing their doors in October alone. The policy tightening and the ongoing collapse of the banking system caused the money supply to fall precipitously, and the declines in output and prices became even more virulent. Again, the logic is that a monetary policy change related to objectives other than the domestic economy--in this case, defense of the dollar against external attack--were followed by changes in domestic output and prices in the predicted direction.\nOne might object that the two \"experiments\" described so far were both episodes of monetary contraction. Hence, although they suggest that declining output and prices followed these tight-money policies, the evidence is perhaps not entirely persuasive. The possibility remains that the Great Depression occurred for other reasons and that the contractionary monetary policies merely coincided with (or perhaps, slightly worsened) the ongoing declines in the economy. Hence it is particularly interesting that the third episode studied by Friedman and Schwartz is an expansionary episode.\nThis third episode occurred in April 1932, when the Congress began to exert considerable pressure on the Fed to ease monetary policy, in particular, to conduct large-scale open-market purchases of securities. The Board was quite reluctant; but between April and June 1932, it did authorize substantial purchases. This infusion of liquidity appreciably slowed the decline in the stock of money and significantly brought down yields on government bonds, corporate bonds, and commercial paper. Most interesting, as Friedman and Schwartz noted (p. 324), \"[t]he tapering off of the decline in the stock of money and the beginning of the purchase program were followed shortly by an equally notable change in the general economic indicator. . . . Wholesale prices started rising in July, production in August. Personal income continued to fall but at a much reduced rate. Factory employment, railroad ton-miles, and numerous other indicators of physical activity tell a similar story. All in all, as in early 1931, the data again have many of the earmarks of a cyclical revival. . . . Burns and Mitchell (1946), although dating the trough in March 1933, refer to the period as an example of a 'double bottom.' \" Unfortunately, although a few Fed officials supported the open-market purchase program, notably George Harrison at the New York Fed, most did not consider the policy to be appropriate. In particular, as argued by several modern scholars, they took the mistaken view that low nominal interest rates were indicative of monetary ease. Hence, when the Congress adjourned on July 16, 1932, the System essentially ended the program. By the latter part of the year, the economy had relapsed dramatically.\nThe final episode studied by Friedman and Schwartz, again contractionary in impact, occurred in the period from January 1933 to the banking holiday in March. This time the exogenous factor might be taken to be the long lag mandated by the Constitution between the election and the inauguration of a new U.S. President. Franklin D. Roosevelt, elected in November 1932, was not to take office until March 1933. In the interim, of course, considerable speculation circulated about the new President's likely policies; the uncertainty was increased by the President-elect's refusal to make definite policy statements or to endorse actions proposed by the increasingly frustrated President Hoover. However, from the President-elect's campaign statements and known propensities, many inferred (correctly) that Roosevelt might devalue the dollar or even break the link with gold entirely. Fearing the resulting capital losses, both domestic and foreign investors began to convert dollars to gold, putting pressure on both the banking system and the gold reserves of the Federal Reserve System. Bank failures and the Fed's defensive measures against the gold drain further reduced the stock of money. The economy took its deepest plunge between November 1932 and March 1933, once more confirming the temporal sequence predicted by the monetary hypothesis. Once Roosevelt was sworn in, his declaration of a national bank holiday and, subsequently, his cutting the link between the dollar and gold initiated the expansion of money, prices, and output. It is an interesting but not uncommon phenomenon in economics that the expectation of a devaluation can be highly destabilizing but that the devaluation itself can be beneficial.\nThese four episodes might be considered as time series examples of Friedman and Schwartz's evidence for the role of monetary forces in the Depression. They are not the entirety of the evidence, however. Friedman and Schwartz also introduced \"cross-sectional\"--that is, cross-country--evidence as well. This cross-sectional evidence is based on differences in exchange-rate regimes across countries in the 1930s.\nThe Gold Standard and the International Depression\nAlthough the Monetary History focuses by design on events in the United States, some of its most compelling insights come from cross-sectional evidence. Anticipating a large academic literature of the 1980s and 1990s, Friedman and Schwartz recognized in 1963 that a comparison of the economic performances in the 1930s of countries with different monetary regimes could also serve as a test for their monetary hypothesis.\nFacilitating the cross-sectional natural experiment was the fact that the international gold standard, which had been suspended during World War I, was laboriously rebuilt during the 1920s (in a somewhat modified form called the gold-exchange standard). Countries that adhered to the international gold standard were essentially required to maintain a fixed exchange rate with other gold-standard countries. Moreover, because the United States was the dominant economy on the gold standard during this period (with some competition from France), countries adhering to the gold standard were forced to match the contractionary monetary policies and price deflation being experienced in the United States.\nImportantly for identification purposes, however, the gold standard was not adhered to uniformly as the Depression proceeded. A few countries for historical or political reasons never joined the gold standard. Others were forced off early, because of factors such as internal politics, weak domestic banking conditions, and the local influence of competing economic doctrines. Other countries, notably France and the other members of the so-called Gold Bloc, had a strong ideological commitment to gold and therefore remained on the gold standard as long as possible.\nFriedman and Schwartz's insight was that, if monetary contraction was in fact the source of economic depression, then countries tightly constrained by the gold standard to follow the United States into deflation should have suffered relatively more severe economic downturns. Although not conducting a formal statistical analysis, Friedman and Schwartz gave a number of salient examples to show that the more tightly constrained a country was by the gold standard (and, by default, the more closely bound to follow U.S. monetary policies), the more severe were both its monetary contraction and its declines in prices and output. One can read their discussion as dividing countries into four categories.\nThe first category consisted of countries that did not adhere to the gold standard at all or perhaps adhered only very briefly. The example cited by Friedman and Schwartz was China. As they wrote (p. 361), \"China was on a silver rather than a gold standard. As a result, it had the equivalent of a floating exchange rate with respect to gold-standard countries. A decline in the gold price of silver had the same effect as a depreciation in the foreign exchange value of the Chinese yuan. The effect was to insulate Chinese internal economic conditions from the worldwide depression. . . . And that is what happened. From 1929 to 1931, China was hardly affected internally by the holocaust that was sweeping the gold-standard world, just as in 1920-21, Germany had been insulated by her hyperinflation and associated floating exchange rate.\"\nSubsequent research (for example, Choudhri and Kochin, 1980) has identified other countries that, like China, did not adhere to the gold standard and hence escaped the worst of the Depression. Two examples are Spain, where the internal instability that ultimately led to the Spanish Civil War prevented the country from re-adopting the gold standard in the 1920s, and Japan, which was forced from the gold standard after being on it for only a matter of months. The Depression in Spain was quite mild, and Japan experienced a powerful recovery almost immediately after abandoning its short-lived experiment with gold.\nThe second category consisted of countries that had restored the gold standard in the 1920s but abandoned it early in the Depression, typically in the fall of 1931. As Friedman and Schwartz observed (p. 362), the first major country to leave the gold standard was Great Britain, which was forced off gold in September 1931. Several trading partners, among them the Scandinavian countries, followed Britain's lead almost immediately. The effect of leaving gold was to free domestic monetary policy and to stop the monetary contraction. What was the consequence of this relaxed pressure on the money stock? Friedman and Schwartz noted (p. 362) that \"[t]he trough of the depression in Britain and the other countries that accompanied Britain in leaving gold was reached in the third quarter of 1932. [In contrast, i]n the countries that remained on the gold standard or, like Canada, that went only part way with Britain, the Depression dragged on.\"\nThird were countries that remained on gold but had ample reserves or were attracting gold inflows. The key example was France (see p. 362), the leader of the Gold Bloc. After its stabilization in 1928, France attracted gold reserves well out of proportion to the size of its economy. France's gold inflows allowed it to maintain its money supply and avoid a serious downturn until 1932. However, at that point, France's liquidation of non-gold foreign exchange reserves and its banking problems began to offset the continuing gold inflows, reducing the French money stock. A serious deflation and declines in output began in France, which, as Friedman and Schwartz pointed out, did not reach its trough until April 1935, much later than Great Britain and other countries that left gold early.\nFourth, and perhaps the worst hit, were countries that rejoined the gold standard but had very low gold reserves and banking systems seriously weakened by World War I and the ensuing hyperinflations. Friedman and Schwartz mention Austria, Germany, Hungary, and Romania as examples of this category (p. 361). These countries suffered not only deflation but also extensive banking and financial crises, making their plunge into depression particularly precipitous.\nThe powerful identification achieved by this categorization of countries by Friedman and Schwartz is worth reemphasizing. If the Depression had been the product primarily of nonmonetary forces, such as changes in autonomous spending or in productivity, then the nominal exchange rate regime chosen by each country would have been largely irrelevant. The close connection among countries' exchange rate regimes, their monetary policies, and the behavior of domestic prices and output, is strong evidence for the proposition that monetary forces played a central role not just in the U.S. depression but in the world as a whole.\nOf course, those familiar with more recent work on the Great Depression will recognize that Friedman and Schwartz's idea of categorizing countries by exchange rate regime has been widely extended by subsequent researchers. Notably, in the paper that revived Friedman and Schwartz's temporarily dormant insight, Choudhri and Kochin (1980) considered the relative performances of Spain (which, as mentioned, did not adopt the gold standard), three Scandinavian countries (which left gold with Great Britain in September 1931), and four countries that remained part of the French-led Gold Bloc (the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, and Poland). They found that the countries that remained on gold suffered much more severe contractions in output and prices than the countries leaving gold. In a highly influential paper, Eichengreen and Sachs (1985) examined a number of key macro variables for ten major countries over 1929-35, finding that countries that left gold earlier also recovered earlier. Bernanke and James (1991) confirmed the findings of Eichengreen and Sachs for a broader sample of twenty-four (mostly industrialized) countries (see also Bernanke and Carey, 1996), and Campa (1990) did the same for a sample of Latin American countries. Bernanke (1995) showed that not only did adherence to the gold standard predict deeper and more extended depression, as had been noted by earlier authors, but also that the behavior of various key macro variables, such as real wages and real interest rates, differed across gold-standard and non-gold-standard countries in just the way one would expect if the driving shocks were monetary in nature. The most detailed narrative discussion of how the gold standard propagated the Depression around the world is, of course, the influential book by Eichengreen (1992). Eichengreen (2002) reviews the conclusions of his book and concludes largely that they are quite compatible with the Friedman and Schwartz approach.\nThe Role of Bank Failures\nYet another striking feature of the Great Contraction in the United States was the massive extent of banking panics and failures, culminating in the Bank Holiday of March 1933, in which the entire U.S. banking system was shut down. During the Depression decade, something close to half of all U.S. commercial banks either failed or merged with other banks.\nFriedman and Schwartz take the unusually severe and protracted U.S. banking panic as yet another opportunity to apply their identification methodology. Their argument, in short, is that under institutional arrangements that existed before the establishment of the Federal Reserve, bank failures of the scale of those in 1929-33 would not have occurred, even in an economic downturn as severe as that in the Depression. For doctrinal and institutional reasons to be detailed in a moment, however, the extraordinary spate of bank failures did occur and led in turn to the massive extinction of bank deposits and an abnormally large decline in the stock of money. Because the decline in money induced by bank panics would not have occurred under previous regimes, Friedman and Schwartz argued, it can be treated as partially exogenous and thus a potential cause of the extraordinary declines in output and prices that followed.\nBefore the creation of the Federal Reserve, Friedman and Schwartz noted, bank panics were typically handled by banks themselves--for example, through urban consortiums of private banks called clearinghouses. If a run on one or more banks in a city began, the clearinghouse might declare a suspension of payments, meaning that, temporarily, deposits would not be convertible into cash. Larger, stronger banks would then take the lead, first, in determining that the banks under attack were in fact fundamentally solvent, and second, in lending cash to those banks that needed to meet withdrawals. Though not an entirely satisfactory solution--the suspension of payments for several weeks was a significant hardship for the public--the system of suspension of payments usually prevented local banking panics from spreading or persisting (Gorton and Mullineaux, 1987). Large, solvent banks had an incentive to participate in curing panics because they knew that an unchecked panic might ultimately threaten their own deposits.\nIt was in large part to improve the management of banking panics that the Federal Reserve was created in 1913. However, as Friedman and Schwartz discuss in some detail, in the early 1930s the Federal Reserve did not serve that function. The problem within the Fed was largely doctrinal: Fed officials appeared to subscribe to Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon's infamous 'liquidationist' thesis, that weeding out \"weak\" banks was a harsh but necessary prerequisite to the recovery of the banking system. Moreover, most of the failing banks were small banks (as opposed to what we would now call money-center banks) and not members of the Federal Reserve System. Thus the Fed saw no particular need to try to stem the panics. At the same time, the large banks--which would have intervened before the founding of the Fed--felt that protecting their smaller brethren was no longer their responsibility. Indeed, since the large banks felt confident that the Fed would protect them if necessary, the weeding out of small competitors was a positive good, from their point of view.\nIn short, according to Friedman and Schwartz, because of institutional changes and misguided doctrines, the banking panics of the Great Contraction were much more severe and widespread than would have normally occurred during a downturn. Bank failures and depositor withdrawals greatly reduced the quantity of bank deposits, consequently reducing the money supply. The result, they argued, was greater deflation and output decline than would have otherwise occurred.\nA couple of objections can be raised to the Friedman-Schwartz inference. One logical possibility is that the extraordinary rate of bank failure of the 1930s, rather than causing the subsequent declines in output and prices, occurred because depositors and others anticipated the collapse of the economy--that is, that the banking panics were endogenous to the expected state of the economy. Friedman and Schwartz's institutional arguments persuade me that this is unlikely. If previous arrangements had been in place, bank panics would not have been allowed to progress to the degree they did, independent of the severity of the downturn. Moreover, I don't find it plausible that, in 1930 and 1931, depositors and bankers fully anticipated the severity of the downturn still to come.\nA second possibility is that banking panics contributed to the collapse of output and prices through nonmonetary mechanisms. My own early work (Bernanke, 1983) argued that the effective closing down of the banking system might have had an adverse impact by creating impediments to the normal intermediation of credit, as well as by reducing the quantity of transactions media. Friedman and Schwartz anticipated this argument and adduced as contrary evidence a comparison of the United States and Canada (p. 352). They pointed out that (1) Canada's monetary policy was tied to that of the United States by a fixed exchange rate; (2) Canada had no significant bank failures; but (3) Canada's output declines were as severe as those of the United States. Friedman and Schwartz concluded that Canada's economy declined because of its enforced monetary contraction--whether that monetary contraction took place through bank failures or was enforced by the exchange-rate regime was immaterial.\nI would argue that Canada, both being a commodity exporter and being unusually highly integrated with the United States, may not have been fully representative of the experience of all countries in the 1930s. For example, in Bernanke (1995, table 3), I showed using a sample of twenty-six countries that, with the exchange-rate regime held constant, countries suffering severe banking panics had subsequent declines in output that were significantly worse than those in countries with stable banking systems. This result supports the possibility of an additional, nonmonetary channel for bank failures. At the same time, my results were also strongly supportive of the view that adherence to the gold standard, and the associated monetary contraction, was of first-order importance in explaining which countries suffered severe depressions. Thus, as I have always tried to make clear, my argument for nonmonetary influences of bank failures is simply an embellishment of the Friedman-Schwartz story; it in no way contradicts the basic logic of their analysis.\nBenjamin Strong and the Leadership Vacuum\nFinally, what is probably Friedman and Schwartz's most controversial \"natural experiment\" stems from the premature death, in 1928, of America's preeminent central banker, Benjamin Strong. Strong, who was Governor of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the de facto equivalent to a Fed Chairman today, had led the Federal Reserve throughout the 1920s. Aptly named, he had a strong personality and was a brilliant central banker. Quite plausibly, his personality and skills created a leadership position within a Federal Reserve System that--as suggested by its name--was intended by the Congress to be a relatively decentralized institution.\nAfter Strong's death, as Friedman and Schwartz describe in useful detail, the Federal Reserve no longer had an effective leader or even a well-established chain of command. Members of the Board in Washington, jealous of the traditional powers of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, strove for greater influence; and Strong's successor, George Harrison, did not have the experience or personality to stop them. Regional banks also began to assert themselves more. Thus, power became diffused; worse, what power there was accrued to men who did not understand central banking from a national and international point of view, as Strong had. The leadership vacuum and the generally low level of central banking expertise in the Federal Reserve System was a major problem that led to excessive passivity and many poor decisions by the Fed in the years after Strong's death.\nFriedman and Schwartz argued in their book that if Strong had lived, many of the mistakes of the Great Depression would have been avoided. This proposition has been highly controversial and has led to detailed examinations of what Strong's views \"really were\" on various matters of monetary policymaking. This counterfactual debate somewhat misses the point, in my opinion. We don't know what would have happened had Strong lived; but what we do know is that the central bank of the world's economically most important nation in 1929 was essentially leaderless and lacking in expertise. This situation led to decisions, or nondecisions, which might well not have occurred under either better leadership or a more centralized institutional structure. And associated with these decisions, we observe a massive collapse of money, prices, and output. Thus, it seems to me that the death of Strong does qualify as one more natural experiment with which to try to identify the effects of monetary forces in the Great Depression.\nThe brilliance of Friedman and Schwartz's work on the Great Depression is not simply the texture of the discussion or the coherence of the point of view. Their work was among the first to use history to address seriously the issues of cause and effect in a complex economic system, the problem of identification. Perhaps no single one of their \"natural experiments\" alone is convincing; but together, and enhanced by the subsequent research of dozens of scholars, they make a powerful case indeed.\nFor practical central bankers, among which I now count myself, Friedman and Schwartz's analysis leaves many lessons. What I take from their work is the idea that monetary forces, particularly if unleashed in a destabilizing direction, can be extremely powerful. The best thing that central bankers can do for the world is to avoid such crises by providing the economy with, in Milton Friedman's words, a \"stable monetary background\"--for example as reflected in low and stable inflation.\nLet me end my talk by abusing slightly my status as an official representative of the Federal Reserve. I would like to say to Milton and Anna: Regarding the Great Depression. You're right, we did it. We're very sorry. But thanks to you, we won't do it again.\nBest wishes for your next ninety years.\n1. Accordingly, I hope the reader will forgive the many references to my own work in the list of references below.

However, as Athanasios Orphanides pointed out to me, by 1929 the rate of output growth was strong, which may have provided additional motivation for a tightening. Return to text\n3. Apparently the Board was not entirely clear on the point that funds used to purchase stock are not made unavailable for productive use. Of course, as stock sales are merely transfers of existing assets, funds used to purchase stock are not dissipated but only transferred from one person to another.

        "raw_content": "Australian wine, Barossa, Red Wine, Shiraz\nPeter Lehmann - H&V Barossa Valley Shiraz 2010, Eden Valley, Australia\nAbout Peter Lehmann\nPeter Lehmann, a member of the Order of Australia and the original Baron of the Barossa, and a legend of Australian wine. He helped shape the Australian wine industry over seven decades. Peter was born in the Barossa village of Angaston in 1930, the fifth generation of one of Barossa\u2019s pioneering families. His father Franz was the local pastor.\nPeter was only 14 when his father died, and the impact was great. He wanted to leave school, and with his mother\u2019s support and community connections, he secured a role as apprentice winemaker at Yalumba in 1947. Over the next 12 years, he gathered skills that made Peter one of Barossa\u2019s most promising red winemakers.\n\u201cThree mentors were most significant,\u201d Peter recalls. \u201cAlf Wark (the company secretary who first employed him) taught me the joys of food, wine, hunting, shooting and fishing; winemaker Rudi Kronberger, taught me the fundamentals of winemaking and proprietor Wyndham Hill Smith taught me the value of a man\u2019s honour. I have adopted that philosophy and my word has been my bond ever since.\u201d\nIn 1959, Peter was offered the lucrative position of Winemaker/Manager at another historic Barossa winery, Saltram. Over the next 20 years, he forged relationships with some of the best grape growers in the region, and cemented Saltram\u2019s name as a key player in the red wine boom.\nAnd so it was in 1975, when consumers discovered fruity white wines and red wine consumption declined. Peter saw the trend coming early, and introduced whites to the Saltram portfolio. He presented a long-term strategy for the business to survive, based on his pendulum philosophy. Unfortunately Saltram\u2019s multinational owner didn\u2019t share his vision.\nIn 1978, the directors instructed him to stop buying fruit, forcing him to renege on the deals he had established with the growers. Knowing that livelihoods were at stake, Peter said no, effectively putting his own on the line as well. With that, he mounted a \u201crescue operation\u201d for the growers, raised capital to buy their fruit, processed it at Saltram and then sold it to other wineries.\n\u201cWine is made in a vineyard, not a boardroom. Without growers, there is no wine. It\u2019s a circle of life you can\u2019t just cut off because of what the bottom line looks like.\u201d\nSaltram\u2019s owners allowed Peter to work with the growers and process their fruit on-site as a \u201cside-project\u201d, which was considered a massive gamble by virtually everyone in the Barossa. He acknowledged the gossip in the best way he could. The side-project was named \u201cMasterson\u201d after the most famous gambler of all \u2013 the Guys and Dolls character Sky Masterson. Keeping it separate from his Saltram position, Masterson was officially managed by Peter\u2019s wife Margaret.\nIn 1979, Saltram was sold, and the new owners put a halt to the operation. With more than 60 family growers facing ruin, Peter took the rescue mission one step further and resigned. The stakes of the gamble got a lot higher. History now shows that the gamble paid off, however luck had little to do with it. With Margaret by his side, Peter enlisted a collaboration to build a winery for the growers, which in only three decades has become one of the most respected brands in the wine world.\nHis contribution to the industry as a whole was acknowledged in 2009 with an International Wine Challenge Lifetime Achievement Award.\nDuring this time Peter had little financial security and an impending vintage of 10,000 tonnes of grapes. Family, friends and business associates were rallied to the cause to raise much-needed funds to house and process the fruit. With a very short time frame to work in, Peter and his partners got a lucky break when Hoffmans, an established winery on the outskirts of Tanunda, was put up for sale. The 1880s building overlooked the North Para River on fertile ground, and \u2013 with Peter\u2019s guidance \u2013 his primary investor bought it as the new home of Masterson Wines. Peter and Margaret bought the block next door, and built the house they still live in today.\nThe greatest resource was the team who joined Peter\u2019s mission from Saltram. The breakaway team was a \u201cNoah\u2019s Ark\u201d of wine talent, including winemakers Andrew Wigan, Charles Melton and Leonie Lange, and engineer Mick Anderson.\nThe original plan was to process fruit and sell it to other companies as bulk wine. This worked well for the first two vintages until the industry took another dive, and the bulk wine market collapsed in 1982.\nPeter\u2019s solution to this new crisis was to join what he called the \u201cglass jungle\u201d: bottling wines, and taking them to market under their own brand. Masterson was not a commercial option, so a new brand had to be created. To the family of investors and growers, \u201cPeter Lehmann\u201d was the logical name. Peter dismissed the idea as a conflict to his winemaking ethos of teamwork. After a great deal of convincing, in 1982 he agreed to put his name to his promise to the growers and so Peter Lehmann Wines was born.\nIn 2002, the Hess family of Switzerland bought a controlling share of the business with the strong support of Peter and Margaret Lehmann. In partnership with Hess, Peter Lehmann Wines is afforded the freedom to continue growth in line with Peter\u2019s original vision, and allow the people who helped start the business remain part of the extended family.\nDoug Lehmann was Managing Director of the business from 1990 to 2010, and grew the business with new international markets. In 2011, he passed the baton to a new generation in Jeff Bond.\nPeter, Margaret and Doug Lehmann, while officially \u201cretired\u201d, remain active participants in the future of Peter Lehmann Wines.\nThe Barossa has a winemaking heritage dating back to 1842 and has become Australia\u2019s most famous wine region.\nThe region is located a little over an hour north of Adelaide, South Australia\u2019s capital city. Settled by British and German farmers, landowners and craftsmen, the Barossa\u2019s first vines were planted in the 1840s . Some of the oldest, gnarly vines are used to make some special wines under the Peter Lehmann label \u2013 such as the Schrapel family\u2019s vineyard which was planted in 1885 and provides the fruit for its namesake 1885 Shiraz which is sold as a single vineyard wine under the VSV - Very Special Vineyard - range in the best years.\nThe Barossa is comprised of two distinct regions, the Barossa Valley and Eden Valley and 14 sub-districts which include, but are not limited to: Gomersal, Rowland Flat, Vine Vale, Light Pass, Ebenezer, Greenock, Marananga. Our District wines offer a great insight into the Barossa sub-districts.\nA Shiraz grown on the fertile red-brown earth soils of the valley floor, will have a very different flavour profile to a Shiraz grown just a few kilometers away on the rocky soils of the high Eden Valley where it\u2019s cooler and there is higher rainfall. The slower ripening Shiraz from Eden Valley may exhibit more aromatic, spicy and elegant characters than that of a Shiraz from the lower lying areas where it may develop into a more robust and full flavoured wine.\nThe Barossa and Eden Valley boast over 750 grape growers, many of whom are fifth and sixth generation Barossans.Peter Lehmann Wines has over 140 growers across the lregion, with access to over 750 individual vineyard sites.\nH&V Shiraz 2010\nThe \"Hill and Valley Shiraz\" is a great example of a Barossan Shiraz.\nAfter a short burst or heat in late January and early February, it was warm and stable for the remainder ofthe vintage producing richly flavoured red wines of exceptional quality.\nThe wine was fermented on skins for seven days to maximise colour and flavour and then aged for 12 months in French oak hogsheads.\nThis shiraz is deep purple coloured. The nose is plummy, with mukberry and blackberry with a hint of spice and vanilla. On the palate the H&V is full bodied as you would expect from the Barossa, but fruitiness is well balanced by acidity producing a long finish. Not the best Barossa Shiraz I've ever had, but very drinkable at the price point, I think this will benefit from a few years in the cellar to bring out the best. But Peter Lehmann what a guy!\nTagged: Australia, Eden Valley, Peter Lehmann - H&V Barossa Valley Shiraz 2010, peter llehmann wines\nNewer Post Santa Faustina d'Autor Malbec Syrah 2007, Mendoza, Argentina\nOlder PostFelton Road, Bannockburn, Pinot Noir 2011, Central Otago, New Zealand",

Having already started to act in children's theatre at the age of seven, he was 13 years old when he starred in a production of Robert Walser's \"Liebestraum\" at the Schauspielhaus Zurich. Since 2007, Hubacher is an ensemble member of the Jugend-Theaterclub at the Schlachthaus-Theater in Bern.\nIn 2009, he made his screen debut in the award-winning drama \"Stationspiraten\" (CH), which chronicles the lives of several young cancer patients. He next starred in Markus Imboden's \"Der Verdingbub\" (\"The Foster Boy\", D/CH, 2011), and his moving portrayal of an orphaned boy who is sold to a brutal famer garnered him the title of \"Shooting Star\" at the 2012 Berlin IFF and the Swiss Film Award for Best Actor.\nAfter supporting roles in the \"Tatort\" episode \"Schmutziger Donnerstag\" (CH/DE 2013) and the feature film \"Nachtzug nach Lissabon\" (\"Night Train to Lisbon\", DE/CH/PT 2013), Hubacher was cast as the lead in the award-winning drama \"Driften\" (CH 2014). He next got very positive reviews for his turn as a rapist in the drama \"Nichts passiert\" (CH 2015). Shortly before, he had enrolled in the acting class at Hochschule f\u00fcr Musik und Theater 'Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy' in Leipzig. In the 2016/17 season, he became a company player of the Schauspielstudio at the Schauspiel Leipzig.\nFollowing his leading role in the tragicomedy \"Lasst die Alten sterben\" (CH 2017), Hubacher played an athlete cum serial killer in \"Der L\u00e4ufer\" (CH 2017). His performance in the gay romance \"Mario\" (CH 2018) garnered him a nomination at the 2018 Swiss Film Award. Hubacher next starred in the titular role of \"Der Hauptmann\" (\"The Captain\"), playing German war criminal Willi Herold who posed as a Wehrmacht officer at the end of WWII, randomly had people executed and became infamous as the \"Hangman of Emsland\".",

        "raw_content": "How to Choose Which Language to Study\n8th March 2018 by Grace Dickins\nStudying a second language has become a requirement at many schools and colleges. Globalisation has much to do with this trend, but the personal benefits of learning a second language are compelling, as well. Choosing which language to study isn't necessarily an easy task, but whether you are passionate about learning another language or not, the choice should be taken seriously.\nThe first step in choosing a language to study is to determine which languages are offered at your institution. This step is important because you may be surprised to find out what languages are or are not offered. You may stumble upon a language that you didn't know was available but really sparks your interest.\nExplore Your Cultural Interests\nOnce you've determined which languages are available to you, spend some time thinking about your interests and goals. Consider cultures or places that intrigue you. Perhaps you have family or friends that now live or used to live in another part of the world.\nConsider Your Sense of Sound\nAmelia Harper, writer for The Old Schoolhouse Magazine, advises people to choose a language that appeals to their ears. In other words, choose a language that you like the sound of. In order to learn a language, you must listen to it for many hours. Harper suggests finding internet sites where you can listen to music or conversations in other languages. Then, choose a language that you find pleasant-sounding.\nInvestigate Your Subject Field\nAcademic or career goals are also important to consider when choosing a language to study. Think about fundamental players in your field of study. If there are a wealth of contributions from speakers of a particular language, it would be beneficial to learn that language. You could read those contributors' original research and writing, too.\nThink of Careers\nFluency in a second language is a major attraction for employers. Think about where in the world you may want to travel to or even live for a future career. In many cases, you may not know which language prospective employers are seeking out. However, you can analyze current trends in a field to help make the choice. For instance, given China's current economic boom, Chinese would be an excellent language for a business student. If you plan on pursuing a career in sports management, Spanish would be a valuable language; there are many Latin American players in today's major leagues.\nLearning a second language is important to your academic life and future because it broadens your knowledge base. Don't take this choice lightly!\nTags: languages second language",

        "raw_content": "Chef to Celebrate Anthony Bourdain with Barbacoa-Topped Dia de Los Muertos Altar\nLisa Kaplowitz\n\"Mexicans work hard, and Anthony saw that,\u201d says chef Luis Mota. \"This is just my way of saying thank you.\u201d\nXimena Larkin\nWhen chef Luis Arce Mota moved from Mazatl\u00e1n, Mexico, to New York City in search of work, he didn't speak any English. \u201cI needed a job to survive and knew that if I went to work in a restaurant, I would at least have something to eat,\u201d he says.\nUndeterred by the language barrier or lack of connections, he began his career in the early '90s as a dishwasher and slowly rose in the ranks, working under chefs like C\u00e9sar Ramirez, David Bouley, and Michael Romano. By 1998, he was staging at Brasserie Les Halles, the classic French restaurant made famous by Anthony Bourdain in Kitchen Confidential. The memoir, published in 2000, was Bourdain\u2019s brutally honest (and funny) account of what really transpires in restaurant kitchens. It was at Brasserie Les Halles where Mota met Bourdain, who died this June at the age of 61.\n\u201cBourdain\u2019s love for Mexicans was not new,\u201d says Mota. \u201cEven then he treated us all with respect, and you could see he had an admiration for us, the food, and the culture.\u201d Mota describes a pre-fame Bourdain who was polite and joked with the staff. After realizing Mota\u2019s last name translated into \"marijuana\" in English, Bourdain mimicked smoking a joint while the two shared a laugh.\nOver the years, Bourdain\u2019s appreciation for Mexico became well-documented through his hit CNN travel show Parts Unknown: a michelada in Tepito, tacos al pastor in Mexico City, mezcal in Tijuana. And in January 2018, Bourdain spoke out in support of Mexicans and immigrant restaurant workers. He lambasted the people who eat their food, employ them to watch their children, and enjoy their beaches, but still refuse to respect their basic humanity.\nThis fleeting interaction, along with Bourdain's continued public support of immigrants, left a lasting impact on Mota. So to honor him, the chef is dedicating his Dia de los Muertos ofrenda in La Contenta Oeste, in the West Village, to Bourdain. Another ofrenda will be built at Mota\u2019s sister restaurant La Contenta, in the Lower East Side, dedicated to Pete Accurso, the late manager of The Back Room speakeasy.\nThe ritual of building an altar for loved ones who have died is an integral part of Day of the Dead traditions. The shrine is decorated with candles, the deceased's favorite foods, and cempas\u00fachil flowers, which is believed to light the way home for the dead.\nBarbacoa tacos and tequila reposado will be placed on the altar for Bourdain to enjoy when he revisits the land of the living. Carne asada tacos and mezcal will be left out for Accurso.\nMota is inviting first, second, and third graders from the Bronx and Greenwich Village to help build the installation. Many of them are not Mexican, but Mota believes it\u2019s a good opportunity to expose young children to Mexico's traditions.\nGuests are also invited to place a photo of their loved ones on the altar, and a special Dia de los Muertos menu will be offered at both of Mota\u2019s properties. Expect seasonal offerings such as shrimp tamales, chicken enchiladas with mole, pan de muerto, and champurrado, a traditional corn-based hot chocolate.\n\u201cMexicans work hard, and Anthony saw that,\u201d says Mota. \u201cThis is just my way of saying thank you.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "The medical supply company is taking a big step forward in transforming its business.\nAfter reporting its third-quarter financials and announcing the sale of its surgical and infection prevention business to Owens & Minor (NYSE:OMI), shares in Halyard Health (NYSE:AVNS) increased by more than 10% earlier today.\nHalyard Health is selling its S&IP business to Owens & Minor for $710 million. The deal accelerates its transition toward being solely focused on medical devices and pain management.\nThe move should bolster Halyard Health's profitability because the S&IP business offers lower margins than its medical device business. Once the transaction has been digested, Halyard Health should be able to get back to revenue growth because the medical device and pain business is growing more quickly than the S&IP business, too.\nIn the third quarter, Halyard Health's companywide net sales were $401 million, up from $398 million a year ago. Medical devices net sales were $151 million, up 4% year over year, and S&IP net sales were $246 million, down 1% year over year.\nHalyard Health's operating profit was $29 million in the third quarter compared to $21 million in Q3, 2016. Its medical devices operating profit was $38 million, up 18% from last year, and its S&IP operating profit was $18 million, down 20.7% year over year. Corporate and other expenses offset some of those profits, resulting in the $29 million figure.\nJettisoning the S&IP business should allow Halyard Health shares to trade based on the opportunity associated with its financially more attractive medical device business. In the first nine months of 2017, Halyard's medical device sales have grown 8%, and its operating profit is up 28% compared to last year.\nThe cash influx from Owens & Minor is good news for investors, too, because it means greater financial flexibility. Halyard Health exited September with $580 million in debt, so the company could use proceeds from its sale to reduce borrowings or fuel acquisitions.\nOverall, Halyard Health's performance in the coming quarters could endure some choppiness as it completes its transition, but this deal appears to position it better to grow shareholder value long-term.\nWhy Halyard Health Is Rallying Higher Today @themotleyfool #stocks $AVNS, $OMI",

        "raw_content": "Ten Top-Earning Celebrity Chefs\nBy Chaniga Vorasarun\nSay what you will about Rachael Ray, but the jaunty chef-next-door knows how to build a brand.\nShe began winning audiences with catch phrases like \"EVOO\" (for extra-virgin olive oil) on her first Food Network show, 30 Minute Meals, in 2001. Today, she has four Food Network programs, including Tasty Travels and $40 a Day. Her nationally syndicated, Oprah-backed talk show, Rachael Ray, is averaging 2.6 million viewers this season, and her Every Day With Rachael Ray magazine has 1.5 million readers. She endorses Dunkin' Donuts too--all to the tune of $18 million a year.\nMore established chefs also know how to play her game. Wolfgang Puck pulls in $16 million a year. The Austrian-born patriarch of celebrity chefdom got his start with the ritzy Los Angeles restaurant Spago in 1982. That hot spot, once frequented by Orson Welles and Sidney Poitier, now counts Brad Pitt and Jamie Foxx among its regulars. Today Puck owns 15 other fine-dining brands, including Chinois, Cut and the Source, and he also sells sandwiches to weary airport travelers at Wolfgang Puck Express. He's got Wolfgang Puck Bistros in suburbia and sells soups in the grocery aisle and cutlery on the Home Shopping Network.\nIn Depth: Top-Earning Celebrity Chefs\nOthers of their sort include Paula Deen ($4.5 million), Alain Ducasse ($5 million) and Mario Batali ($3 million).\nPinot Grigios For Every Taste\nUp-And-Coming Celebrity Chefs\nDucasse's empire includes 22 restaurants from Tokyo to Paris. The French chef's first New York spot shuttered in 2006 after critics said the food was too fussy; he opened two humbler joints there this year.\nDeen, the queen of Southern cuisine, serves up butter-drenched casseroles and motherly charm on two Food Network shows. Her loyal audience laps it up, and her cookbooks, memoir and magazine are all bestsellers.\nAnd Batali, a culinary school dropout, is now a master of Italian cuisine who owns 13 restaurants in New York, Los Angeles and Las Vegas. Reservations at his New York spots Babbo and Del Posto are especially hard to get.\nSmall-Screen Standouts\nBranded television shows play a big role in the success of many of the chefs on our list.\nAnthony Bourdain's Travel Channel show, No Reservations, where he explores delights like roasted warthog rectum, has become the network's top hit. The Food Network's female fans swoon over Bobby Flay's Southwestern cooking. He hosts Throwdown!, Boy Meets Grill and The Next Food Network Star. And Tom Colicchio is a judge on Bravo's Top Chef cooking competition.\nBut none can beat Ray's network gig. Her 2.6 million viewers undoubtedly think it's Yum-O.",

        "title": "Developing Company Culture When Your Offices Are On Opposite Coasts",
        "raw_content": "Developing Company Culture When Your Offices Are On Opposite Coasts\nBy Andrew Fayad and Simon Casuto\nFrom a lifestyle point of view, New York City and San Diego couldn\u2019t be more different. The high-stakes bustle of the city is a stark contrast to the laid-back beach style in the 619. As co-founders of eLearning Mind running two offices on opposite coasts of the country, we knew that it was going to take a lot more than regular conference calls to make our employees feel like they\u2019re part of one team .\nBut that\u2019s the exact complication that faced our organization at its conception: With offices in NYC, Detroit, and San Diego, we realized that creating workplace culture would have to mean more than making sure there\u2019s coffee in the break room.\nIn short, we realized that if ELM wanted to build a positive and cohesive workplace culture, it would have to be done outside of the office. We already had a vision of how we wanted employees to feel about ELM, but we needed to find a way to create a sense of community and teamwork when employees are stationed across the United States.\nThat\u2019s why social networking, offsite retreats, one-on-ones, and lunches make up a vital part of setting the tone for ELM\u2019s organizational culture.\nSetting the Tone Through Onboarding\nWhen we envisioned our ideal workplace, it was based around a company and culture that excited people to come to work\u2013not just a place where they come to earn a living. Taking our time during the hiring process and offering regular one-on-one meetings with new hires became a priority.\nWe realized that personality was as much a part of the hiring process as education and experience. Instituting a personality assessment as part of the hiring process allowed us a more in-depth look at how each potential candidate would fit in with our organization, our culture and our goals. Chak Fu, one of our managing partners who also is a Suffolk University professor, has spent more than a decade researching the links between personality and good hires. The result was the creation of the Positive Assessment Test, which we now use. The PAT tests for everything from customer service mindset to personality qualities. The goal is to find talented people that also fit our culture -- as a result, our acceptance rate is now 3.5% (for reference, Stanford's is 5.7%).\nA slower, more in-depth hiring process that highlighted organizational culture had an unintended (albeit pleasant) side effect: Prospective employees loved it. \u201cI first learned about ELM's culture when meeting with Andrew during the interview process,\u201d says Bradley Previti, who is now our Client Development Director. \u201cNo doubt about it, it was a major factor in my decision to jump on board with ELM.\u201d\nBuilding Culture Through Friendly Offsites\nWhen you have multiple offices, communication can feel awkward without any personal relationships. Offsite events help bridge that gap.\nWe wanted to distance ourselves from the typical hotel conference room offsite and focus on getting outdoors, breaking bread together, and getting plenty of breaks, too. A tight, unyielding schedule isn\u2019t exactly conducive to creativity; if you're planning an offsite, consider combining fun elements along with team-building activities (e.g., we loved The Marshmallow Challenge), and plenty of opportunity for conversation and brainstorming. Our proudest offsite moment was when we sailed a 50-foot sailboat as a team of 25 earlier this year. Team activities like this help break down the natural power dynamics that can develop even in a relatively flat organization.\nThe ROI for workplace culture can be hard to measure, but we see it in the bond between the offices, a more playful attitude between coworkers, and a better sense of what the company is working toward: big-picture stuff. Since we started doing regular offisites, information and knowledge flows more freely across the three offices, effectively making distance a non-issue. Previti, who is based in NYC, says, \u201cPrior to [my first] offsite I was a bit hesitant to reach out to San Diego for little things which weren't as important. But now that I've spent that time with everyone I have absolutely no hesitation reaching out to anybody on the team for anything at all.\u201d\nOne of the tools we recommend for communicating between multiple offices is Slack, an instant messaging platform which allows us to stay in touch and document everything as we go. Equally as important as the channels for marketing and social content are the channels that are just for fun \u2013 our \u201cRandomness\u201d channel is where we dump links, funny videos, and engage in a laid-back way to set the tone for the rest of our interactions.\nPlus, Slack helps relieve some of the pressure that is otherwise routed to already-stuffed email inboxes. We don\u2019t really have specific rules for using Slack, only that we want all of our channels to be transparent. Whether it\u2019s the marketing team discussing strategy in their channel or the learning architects talking shop in their chat, any employee can subscribe to any Slack channel to keep everyone in the loop and operating on the same level. Sometimes it\u2019s messy and disorganized, but it\u2019s also free-flowing and natural -- more along the lines of in-person communication.\nFrom simple changes to our onboarding process to planning better offsites, we've been able to bridge the gap between two seemingly conflicting locations to bring the best of both worlds to each office.\nAndrew Fayad and Simon Casuto are managing partners of eLearning Mind, a design and development agency that creates interactive learning experiences using modern brain science and intuitively stunning design.",

        "title": "Establishing a Foothold in Cuba: An Interview with David Seleski of Stonegate Bank - Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta {{text}}",
        "raw_content": "Establishing a Foothold in Cuba: An Interview with David Seleski of Stonegate Bank\nEditor's note: This article is also available in Spanish and Portuguese.\nAs the diplomatic relationship between the United States and Cuba continues to thaw, an economic relationship is gradually beginning to form. Tourist flights to the island nation have begun, and cruise ships have begun making the 90-mile trip to Havana. A banking relationship is also in its nascent stage, with Stonegate Bank, based in Pompano Beach, Florida, becoming the first U.S. bank authorized to conduct business with Cuba. Karen Gilmore, the regional executive of the Atlanta Fed's Miami Branch, recently talked to David Seleski, Stonegate's president and CEO, about how his bank achieved this distinction.\nKaren Gilmore: Stonegate Bank is the first U.S. bank approved to do business with Cuba. Can you tell us how the bank began down that path?\nDavid Seleski: Originally, we banked a company that did agricultural supplies to Cuba, and we'd banked them since 2011. I'd been down there a few times because of that customer, mostly doing due diligence. There was a bank out of New York that originally banked the Cuban interest section, and they got out of the embassy business altogether. For about 15 months, the Cuban interest section was without any banking services; they were dealing with cash only. And it really put a lot of strain on issuing visas and for Cuban Americans visiting their families.\nOne day, my customer was having lunch with the undersecretary of Cuban affairs. They were having a hard time finding a bank, and they said, \"Well, what about Stonegate?\" So they picked up the phone and they called me. At first I was very skeptical, but after meeting with Cuban government officials and doing our due diligence, we decided to move forward, and the next thing you know, we were banking the [Cuban] embassy. The next thing we did was to start exploring other opportunities, and one thing led to the next\u2014it wasn't part of our strategic plan, let me put it that way.\nGilmore: How would you characterize the reception of this new business arrangement with your existing clients, your board, and the community?\nSeleski: We lost a few clients in Dade County but gained a few clients who supported our position. So it was probably pretty much of a wash. We did have some light protests outside one of our branches of eight or nine people for a couple of weeks, but besides that, mostly the community has been very supportive. Even the people who don't necessarily agree with what we're doing, I think they respect the fact that we took a chance in terms of \"this is something we believe in.\" Sometimes you've got to take a position, and I think [although] some people don't agree with what we did, they respect the fact that we stepped up and we tried to do this.\nOriginally, diplomatic relations were contingent on their having a bank and being able to open the embassy. It was really impacting families getting together, remittances, and everything else that was going on that's a real lifeline to the Cuban people. For us, it wasn't a business decision initially; it was more of an ethical and moral decision as to why we did what we did.\nGilmore: On the other side, though, you had to deal with both legal and regulatory issues because you are a regulated bank. How difficult is that process?\nSeleski: I think a lot of this is communication with the regulators. At first I think they were scratching their heads as to why I was doing this. But I think a lot of it was just communicating with them step by step, everything we were doing. I think the regulators have been very helpful in terms of making sure we follow the policies and procedures, because let's face it: we're in South Florida. We've never banked an embassy before. We were not in the international arena and then all of a sudden we have a correspondent account in a Cuban bank. So, I think a lot of it's just communication and actually relying on them as a partner to help you navigate, making sure that we're doing everything correctly. I think both the OFR [Office of Financial Regulation] and the FDIC [Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation] have fulfilled that role.\nGilmore: Coming on to close to a year and a half since the bank was approved by U.S. authorities to begin this relationship with Cuba, what would you say have been the most significant hurdles for the bank to overcome?\nSeleski: I think the most significant hurdle is simply that you are caught up in the politics between two countries. There are new executive orders that come out, general licenses, and a lot of it is directed towards banking. So you'll put together a mousetrap basically to figure out how to, let's say, move money between the U.S. and Cuba, and then all of a sudden a new executive order comes out and you basically have to start all over again.\nI say it's more just being a very fluid situation and having to have approval from both sides for anything you do. It's more time consuming. It's a slower process. But I think everybody's moving in the right direction.\nGilmore: It must be fascinating being on the cutting edge of this.\nSeleski: Fascinating and frustrating.\nGilmore: Do you see additional U.S. banks following in Stonegate's footsteps anytime soon?\nSeleski: I would hope so. We think there are going be opportunities, and we do believe the embargo will go away. The Cuban people identify more with people in the U.S. than Mexico, Puerto Rico, Spain, or anywhere else. I think what's going to happen is\u2014once the embargo is lifted\u2014the commercial ties between the two countries are going to be much more extensive than people realize. As other banks get involved, the opportunities will be there to make money and to service their clients. And I do believe as more American companies get engaged down there and do business, they're going to put pressure on the financial institutions to support them. I think time will tell, and I think more people will get involved over time.\nGilmore: Having gone first, you've probably cleared a lot of the major obstacles for other U.S. banks. Do you see it as an easier road for them?\nSeleski: Oh, yeah, there's no question about it. We're definitely the guinea pig. There were probably some people sitting and watching to seeif we navigate through without any problems before they jump in. Frankly, I don't blame them\u2014in some cases, that makes a lot of sense. So far it's been very rewarding, and we've not had any issues. I do believe that we are setting a pattern or blueprint for other people to follow. There's going to be a need for more American banks to be involved at some point.\nGilmore: If you had to tick off three of the most significant accomplishments since your approval as the first U.S. bank to be able to do business with Cuba, what would they be?\nSeleski: Number one was just the initial move. We did not know how it was going to be received. We had additional security in our branches in Dade County\u2014we just didn't know how it was going to be received. I always laugh about how I told my senior management team we're doing this, and they're all like, \"Yeah, yeah, it sounds good,\" and in the back of my mind [I'm thinking that] they're updating their resumes. We just didn't know how it was going to happen.\nSo that was number one: just that first sinking feeling and not sleeping for a couple of nights wondering, what's their [the general public's] reaction? Five years ago or 10 years ago, I think the reaction would have been entirely different.\nSecond, really, the challenge for us has been more [that] there's still the embargo, and there's still the inability of Cubans to operate fully with the dollar and having to correspond a relationship with an American bank. The biggest challenge is just figuring out how to get money back and forth\u2014believe or not, it's as simple as that\u2014and complying and making everyone feel comfortable. That's probably the number two hurdle, and probably the biggest accomplishment.\nAnd I think the third accomplishment really was getting my employees and my board members [on board]. They feel very passionate about this now. We've had them down there; they've seen how people in Cuba appreciate what we're doing. And hopefully we're helping this process. The goal here really is about economic freedom for Cubans. There's half a million now who work in private enterprise, and we feel like we're supporting that cause.\nAnd I think, to some degree, a lot of employees are very proud of the fact that what we've done is help them move that ball forward. I think those really are the three main big accomplishments we've been able to achieve.\nGilmore: Conversely, if you had to tick off three of the things that are critical to moving the U.S. and Cuba banking relationship to the next level, what would they be?\nSeleski: Right now, still the biggest problem is getting money back and forth. I had an interview with the Tampa Tribune yesterday about wires still being held up at major banks, and I think that's going to continue\u2014actually, the more executive orders that come out, the more fuzzy it gets, because there's not a specific license for each wire now. What happens is that it creates more uncertainty as to whether this is a permitted activity or not. We have a Cuba desk that handles that. They know, but other banks\u2014if they're just doing one wire a month or two wires a month or something like that\u2014they're not going to know.\nSo they see Cuba, and it actually creates a little bit more disruption. I think the main thing is, obviously, the embargo needs to go away, allowing Cuban banks to have a correspondent relationship in the U.S. I think it's critical to getting that money back and forth\u2014I think that's really the next step on the financial side. I think also that working on allowing U.S. travelers to use credit cards down there [is key]. On the Cuban side, their having more point-of-sales is critical\u2014it's something they're looking at.\nGilmore: Now that you've been the leading edge and the first one out there, in retrospect, knowing what you know now, would you have done this?\nSeleski: Yeah, I think so. We've been a very successful bank, and it almost seemed like in the last 18 months we've been defined by Cuba. And today we announced an acquisition, and it was kind of nice\u2014nothing ever came up about Cuba. I mean, we're very proud of what we've done, but I hope [it] never gets lost in the shuffle that we serve our communities and we're still a community bank and still growing and helping our communities' economies and our customers, their businesses, and so on. That's probably the only thing that kind of gets lost in the shuffle.\nBut we're very proud of what we do, and you know what? We're hopefully having an impact on\u2014in a small, very small way\u201411 million people. And how many times in life do you have that opportunity\u2014as a company or organization or an individual\u2014to make that happen?\nAnd I feel like we really have made a difference. I think we're going to continue to push forward as much as we can politically, and we'll see where it takes us.\nRegional executive of the Atlanta Fed's Miami Branch",

        "raw_content": "Musical taste is subjective\nIt is time to stop hating on people's musical tastes because music preferences are completely subjective.\nLauren Dietrich | Interrobang |\tOpinion | January 18th, 2019\nTopics: Music\t| Musical Taste\nThere is no winner in the argument about which type of music is the best. Whether it be electronic dance music (EDM) or jazz, music is a completely subjective thing. I am sure that many of you have been in a situation where you have argued with someone about how one artist is better than another or a particular genre requires more talent. However, music is art and people see it and hear it in completely different ways.\nIf you think about music the same as you think about food, you may understand my point more. For example, some people love cilantro and some people hate it or some people can tolerate spicy food whereas some think water is spicy. It is all based on your taste buds and food preferences are completely subjective. If you shift your focus to the sense of hearing, the same thing applies. Music is based on how an individual hears something and that changes on a person to person basis.\nI have been a victim of many people slandering my taste in music and I have also been an offender of telling people their music is crap. In all reality, I do not have a music degree and neither do the people who are arguing with me. We have never been educated on what type of music requires the most talent or how different instruments and vocals work. We are really in no place to say we think a certain genre or artist is untalented because it is solely based on our opinion.\nOn the other end of the spectrum, those who are educated in music and work in the music industry do have the right to be opinionated about music. If a record label did not have opinions about what is good music, they would end up signing every aspiring artist who walked through their doors. They have the training to know which music will make it on the radio and they are the people who are delivering the variety of music we have the ability to listen to today.\nAlthough I strongly believe that music is subjective, there are some things to keep in mind. For those struggling musicians who do not understand that no one likes their music, it may be time to stop trying to make a career out of it. Even though it is your passion and I commend people for chasing their dreams, you may want to keep it as a hobby instead of trying to find your claim to fame.\nNext time you hear someone listening to music that you can\u2019t stand, simply ask them to put headphones in because your nagging is more annoying than any genre of music out there.",

        "raw_content": "October 4, 2018\tBy Fwd News\n3D printing, or additive manufacturing (AM) as it\u2019s frequently known, is a technology that\u2019s been around for over 30 years, but is becoming increasingly common, and has grown into a huge and profitable industry.\nDr Timothy Simpson, Director of the Additive Manufacturing and Design Graduate Program and Paul Morrow Professor of Engineering Design and Manufacturing at The Pennsylvania State University, said they\u2019ve heard the industry describe 3D printing as the fourth mode of logistics: land, sea, air, and now digital.\nAccording to the Wohlers Report 2018, 3D printing has ballooned to a US$6.063 bn industry. By 2020, the industry is expected to be worth US$17 bn, a 25% increase from 2014, according to reports by management consulting firm AT Kearney. The report also noted a significant uptick in the metal 3D printing industry this year. There was an 80% increase in metal 3D systems sold in 2016 from 983 to 1768 in 2017, according to the report.\nIt\u2019s changing the logistics industry markedly. \u201c3D printing is ushering in a new era of supply chain logistics: print the part at or near the source, and avoid or minimise shipping costs,\u201d explained Simpson. \u201cIt is still early, but the potential impact and implications are significant.\u201d\nA 2017 Transport Reviews explained that 3D printing impacts the manner in which products are manufactured and the transport and logistics involved. 3D printing will decentralise manufacturing and supply chains, affecting transport flows, supply chain management, and business models.\nWith AM, \u201cyou can now send your files to anyone with a printer and have them make the part on demand, when needed,\u201d Simpson explained. \u201cThere are considerable post-processing and finishing that needs to be done for metal parts before they can be installed on a car or airplane, but AM is a \u2018digital\u2019 fabrication technology that only needs a digital file to run.\u201d\nAccording to the Transport Reviews report, the 3D printing industry has far-reaching ramifications. As the industry would allow for more decentralised manufacturing, it would offer better proximity to customers and a better understanding of market needs. This, in turn, could even cut any middlemen and reshore manufacturing to high-income countries due to the digitalisation of designs, the report explained.\nIf designs can be sent digitally and printed locally, this will drastically reduce the need for transportation of certain goods.\nPrinters can be located various locations on a local and global basis and in neighbourhood 3D printing mini-factories. Local service providers could include libraries, community centres and post offices or even the homes of consumers, according to the report.\nWith a possible decrease in the transportation of finished goods, there will likely be a boost in the shipping of raw materials to suppliers and manufacturers, according to the Transport Review report. Raw materials will still be needed in the manufacturing process regardless of production location. The materials can be delivered in bulk, with minimal packaging, and without urgency, which could potentially lower emissions output, according to the report.\nThere are challenges with this technology, however. Cybersecurity, intellectual property rights, and customs are all \u201cdigital\u201d supply chain factors that must be considered, according to Simpson. From a cybersecurity standpoint, ensuring the digital file hasn\u2019t been hacked or intercepted is a concern. Ensuring a digital file hasn\u2019t been duplicated and proving its authenticity is also a challenge, Simpson explained. From a customs standpoint, problems arise in assessing and inspecting the digital file, and how a part resulting from this file is regulated through quality control, he said.\n\u201cThat\u2019s just the tip of the iceberg, and we are still trying to understand all of the implications of AM. It is making us question nearly every aspect of how we design, make, distribute, and sell goods \u2013 and changing the business models behind this as well,\u201d Simpson concluded.\n\ue85b Archived in Logistics Buzz, World and tagged 3D-printing, Additive Manufacturing, Decentralised Manufacturing, Digital Logistics, Innovation.

        "title": "Michele Sharpe: A second chance is the Florida way - Opinion - Gainesville Sun - Gainesville, FL",
        "raw_content": "Michele Sharpe: A second chance is the Florida way\nBy Michele Sharpe Special to The Sun\nIn November, Floridians will have a chance to restore voting rights to over 1 million citizens by voting yes on Amendment 4. Currently, 10 percent of adult Florida residents are disenfranchised, and people convicted of felonies have their voting rights stripped away for life. Amendment 4 seeks to restore these voting rights, except in the case of people convicted of murder and sexual offenses.\nThe ballot summary reads as follows: \"This amendment restores the voting rights of Floridians with felony convictions after they complete all terms of their sentence including parole or probation. The amendment would not apply to those convicted of murder or sexual offenses, who would continue to be permanently barred from voting unless the Governor and Cabinet vote to restore their voting rights on a case by case basis.\"\nAlthough there is an application process in place now for restoring anyone\u2019s individual rights, the success of those applications depends entirely on the whim of whoever is governor. Former Gov. Charlie Crist routinely approved applications and enacted regulations to streamline the process; Rick Scott, whose term as governor expires this year, enacted regulations to complicate the process and routinely denies applications. Voting is a basic civil right that shouldn\u2019t be subject to political whim.\nFlorida knows forgiveness on many levels. The state is home to many religions that advocate forgiveness as a basic tenet. My five brothers, all drug addicts and some convicted felons, were all evangelical Christians. They were drawn to the never-ending fount of Christ\u2019s forgiveness. No matter what they did, they could count on Jesus to welcome them home as long as they believed. Floridians who\u2019ve served their sentences and paid their debt should be welcomed back into civic responsibility.\nBut it\u2019s not only religious Floridians who believe in forgiveness. This is the state of \"Florida Man\" and \"Florida Woman,\" those people who do crazy things that the rest of us laugh at \u2014 and we only laugh because we\u2019re in on the joke. There, but for the grace of some god or goddess go I. The belief that we all make mistakes, that nothing is certain, is the secular foundation of forgiveness.\nThose who argue that convicted felons should not be allowed to vote are trying to impose a permanent judgment on others, beyond any judgment issued by a criminal court. Casting judgment on others is a dead end. Nothing but smugness comes of it. Forgiveness, a fresh start and a second chance is the Florida way. Folks who\u2019ve done their time and paid their debt must be reintegrated into the colorful fold of the Sunshine State.\nFlorida, with its history of eccentricity and violence, has no business being judgmental. This is the land of alligator wrestling, bichon frise bikers and Margaritaville. As a state, Florida should be trying harder to make amends for its historical atrocities and the legacies of colonizing, slaveholding and Jim Crow. The laws that strip voting rights from people convicted of felonies are part of those legacies, as well as the current abominations of racism, classism and sexism. Everyone in Florida has made mistakes, and worse than mistakes.\nFlorida knows all about a fresh start and a second chance. Millions of people have migrated here to start over, from the Cuban refugees of the early Castro era, to retirees looking for a well-earned paradise, to the newest influx of citizens, the people fleeing natural disasters in Puerto Rico. Florida has a positive tradition of welcoming new arrivals. Those who\u2019ve served their sentences and paid their debts should be welcomed back and allowed a second chance, too.\nIt\u2019s up to current voters \u2014 those who haven\u2019t yet lost their rights \u2014 to bring these folks back into Florida\u2019s political conversations by saying yes to restoring voting rights. And who knows \u2014 this might be one small step toward reconnecting people with civil society after they\u2019ve survived the brutality of prison. It might be one small step toward reconnecting people with citizenship and the value of community.\nVoting yes on Amendment 4 is the Floridian thing to do.\nMichele Sharpe lives in Gainesville.",

The best part is that they\u2019re hilariously narrated by theLEGENDofKARL, everyone\u2019s favorite Call of Duty machinima character.\nBoth videos were shot using Call of Duty: Black Ops\u2018 theater mode, which turned out some impressive results without the need for another application to do the video capture. The first of the two trailers is a longer walkthrough of what CODE offers, interspersed with a fistful of Internet memes and shot gags that will keep you laughing. The second is a bit more of a point-by-point that touches on the highlights and big features of the program: more like an FAQ.\nIn essence, Activision is stressing that CODE will allow players to access a wide social network of other players that lets them join groups of players, share their kills and favorite videos, communicate with friends, and check out their progress and stats on virtually any Web-connected device. They also pointed out that CODE will allow players and groups to host custom tournaments and events, and that players in CODE will be able to play for daily real-world prizes offered by Activision and other sponsors.\nCODE opens its doors this week to a small number of beta users on the Xbox 360 first, and PS3 players will get in on the action in the near future. Activision also teased that CODE will be available to all Call of Duty players, regardless of whether they\u2019re playing Modern Warfare 2, Black Ops, or even the upcoming Modern Warfare 3.\nRead more at Call of Duty: Elite, via TheSixAxis",

According to GEM\u00dc customers, the diaphragm valves provide additional advantages when filling vessels with drinks containing delicate fruit pieces.

        "raw_content": "Two promotions to director and one to associate at DM Hall for three East of Scotland residential surveyors\nDM Hall, one of Scotland\u2019s largest independent firms of chartered surveyors, has promoted Eric Andrew and Nick Hancock, two Edinburgh-based residential surveyors, currently associates in the firm, to director. Jonathan Hunter, a residential surveyor in DM Hall\u2019s Musselburgh office has been promoted to Associate.\nEric Andrew, who was elected a professional associate of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) in 1996, and has been promoted from Associate, has worked in the Edinburgh Residential office since 1999. He has extensive experience in the local market and specialises in residential valuation and survey work.\nNicholas (Nick) Hancock worked as an estate agent in London and Edinburgh before re-training as a chartered surveyor in 2007.

        "title": "Planning Circular 3/2015: Planning controls for hazardous substances - gov.scot",
        "raw_content": "EXEMPTIONS FROM HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES CONSENT REQUIREMENTS\nC1. Regulation 4 and Schedule 2 set out circumstances in which hazardous substances consent is not required as exemptions to normal requirements. Scottish Ministers also have powers in section 26 of the Principal Act to make directions creating temporary exemptions in certain circumstances - see \"Emergencies\" below.\nC2. Site operators and planning authorities should check the criteria for exemptions carefully, especially as the specific elements of certain types of exemption have changed over the years.\nC3. Two new exemptions were introduced through the 2015 Regulations relating to (a) presence of established substances and (b) minor changes to the types and quantities of substances.\nMilitary Establishments\nC4. Hazardous substances consent is not required for hazardous substances present at military establishments, installations or storage facilities.\nC5. The consent procedure does not apply to the presence of a hazardous substance which also creates a hazard from ionising radiation if present on, over or under land in respect of which a nuclear site licence has been granted or is required for the purposes of section 1 of the Nuclear Installations Act 1965 (Chapter 57). However, hazardous substances present at sites licensed under said section 1 which do not create hazards through ionising radiation, will require hazardous substances consent if they are present at or above the controlled quantities.\nIntermediate Presence Related to the Transport of Hazardous Substances\nC6. Section 2(3) of the Principal Act provides that the temporary presence of a hazardous substance while it is being transported from one place to another is not to be taken into account. This exemption does not apply if the hazardous substance is unloaded or it is present on, over or under land with a hazardous substances consent for any substance, or in respect of which (not taking account of the substance being transported) there is required to be such a consent for any substance.\nC7. Where a consent is required for the presence at a site of any hazardous substance (excluding substances being transported) then those substances present on a temporary basis inside the site will also have to be taken into account in calculating the quantity of the substances present at the site.\nC8. The term \"temporary presence\" is not defined in the Principal Act. The question of whether a vehicle's presence is temporary or not will be a matter of fact and degree, depending on the particular circumstances. The planning authority may reach the view, for example, that a controlled quantity of a substance has been kept on a vehicle for a sufficiently long period in one particular place for it to amount to a storage use, which is outside the purpose of this exemption. Judgement may also be required in considering whether a substance has been \"unloaded\".\nC9. The exemption in paragraph 3 of Schedule 2 complements that in section 2(3) of the Principal Act by dealing with the situation where a hazardous substance has been unloaded while it is being transported from one place to another. This is intended to cover the situation where a substance has been taken off one vehicle or vessel for the express purpose of transferring it to another. As with the section 2(3) exemption, it will be a matter of judgement as to whether the presence is a temporary one. Moreover, there should be a clear intention to transfer the substance to another means of transport (as may be illustrated, for instance, by a transportation contract). Where a substance has effectively gone into storage it would not be covered by this exemption.\nC10. The hazardous substances consent system does not apply to controlling the presence of substances in local or cross-country pipelines. Existing controls relating to such pipelines, as set out in the Pipe-lines Act 1962 (Chapter 58) and the Pipelines Safety Regulations 1996 ( SI 1996/ 825) will continue to be relied upon. However, substances contained in that part of such a pipeline which is on, over or under an establishment should be aggregated with other substances on the site for the purposes of hazardous substances consent, because they should be regarded as part of the overall inventory of substances on that site. This is consistent with the COMAH Regulations. Substances contained in a pipeline which is wholly within a site should also be aggregated with other substances.\nC11. Hazardous substances consent is not required for the presence of hazardous substances in the exploitation, namely the exploration, extraction and processing, of minerals in mines and quarries, including by means of boreholes.\nC12. This exemption does not apply to hazardous substances present in:\nonshore underground gas storage in natural strata, aquifers, salt cavities and disused mines;\nchemical and thermal processing operations and storage related to those operations; or\noperational tailings disposal facilities, including tailing ponds or dams.\nWaste Land-fill Sites\nC13. Hazardous substances present at waste land-fill sites are exempt from the requirement for consent. The presence of such substances may of course be subject to controls exercised through the waste management licence issued by SEPA . The exemption only applies to hazardous substances at a waste land-fill site and not to substances present at other disposal sites e.g. incinerators.\na site used for the storage of metallic mercury pursuant to Article 3(1)(b) of Regulation ( EC) No 1102/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the banning of exports of metallic mercury and certain mercury compounds and mixtures and the safe storage of metallic mercury;\nEmergency Unloading from Ships\nC15. The situation may arise where a ship or other sea-going craft containing a hazardous substance is allowed to enter a harbour in a dangerous condition or where, in the interests of health or safety, the harbour master waives the usual requirements for advance notice. The substance may need to be removed and stored as a matter of urgency. To cater for this, paragraph 9, subject to certain criteria, exempts from requirements for hazardous substances consent the presence of a substance removed from such a vessel, for a period of up to 14 days from when it is unloaded. This will allow time for suitable alternative storage arrangements to be made, if necessary.\nC16. Hazardous substances consent is not required in certain cases for the presence of an explosive, within the meaning of regulation 2(1) of the Explosives Regulations 2014 ( SI 2014/ 1638), where a licence is required and has been granted under those regulations by HSE or ONR .\nC17. Hazardous substances consent is also not required where an explosive licence within the meaning of regulation 2(1) of the Dangerous Substances in Harbour Areas Regulations 1987 ( SI 1987/ 37) has been issued (see paragraphs F32 to F34 of Annex F).\nC18. Explosives present at stores licensed by local authorities under the provisions of the Explosives Regulations 2014 are not covered by this exemption. The quantity of explosives licensed by local authorities is substantially less than the controlled quantity for either of the generic categories of explosives the substances may fall within, so there should be no question of a hazardous substances consent being required for the presence of these explosives alone. However, it is possible that in aggregation with other hazardous substances present at a site they could combine to make it necessary for them to be subject to a consent.\nPresence of Established Substances\nC19. There is an exemption in relation to substances which were present at a site legally without hazardous substances consent prior to 1 June 2015 and which, purely as a result of changes in the 2015 Regulations, would require consent were it not for this exemption.\nC20. The exemption applies if:\nthe substance was present at any time in the 12 month period prior to 1 June 2015;\nhazardous substances consent was not required for the substance at the time it was present during that 12 month period;\nsuch consent would have been required if the 2015 Regulations had been in force at the time the substance was present\nthe quantity of substance present on or after 1 June 2015 does not exceed the maximum quantity which was present at the site at any time during the 12 month period prior to 1 June 2015.\nC21. Regulation 63 (notification of other establishments) requires the person in control of the land relying on this exemption to give written notice to the planning authority containing:\ndetails of the person in control of the land;\ndetails of the location of the land;\nthe maximum amount of any hazardous substance which is subject to the exemption which was held at the site in the 12 months prior to 1 June.\nC22. The purpose of the notification requirement is to ensure that decisions on applications for planning permission for development in the vicinity of establishments with hazardous substances take into account the presence of such establishments. The planning authority needs to know where hazardous substances, which would require hazardous substances consent in the absence of this exemption, are present. Regulation 63 also requires the planning authority to pass a copy of the notice to HSE or ONR, as appropriate, and to SEPA , which may result in a consultation distance being created for the site.\nC23. A copy of the notification of the use of this exemption is required to go on the hazardous substances consents register (regulation 41(7)).\nPresence of Small Quantities of Substances (\"2% Rule\")\nC24. Small quantities of a hazardous substance may be disregarded when calculating the quantity of hazardous substances present at a site. Amounts not exceeding 2% of the relevant controlled quantity of a substance may be disregarded if their location at the site is such that they cannot act as an initiator of a major accident elsewhere on the site. The responsibility for determining whether such small quantities of hazardous substances are in a location which cannot act as an initiator of a major accident elsewhere on a site is, in the first instance, one for the site operator. Site operators are reminded of their responsibilities under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 ( SI 1999/ 3242), which requires risk assessments to be made of the danger arising from the presence of these substances at the site and for the assessments to be submitted to HSE . Site visits by HSE inspectors should ensure the exemption is not being abused.\nMinor Changes to Types and Quantities of Substances\nC25. The Directive requires that there should be controls on changes in the nature or quantity of hazardous substances held which could have significant consequences for major accident hazards, or could result in a lower-tier establishment becoming an upper-tier establishment or vice versa. In those circumstances there is an exemption for changes which are not significant.\nC26. Paragraphs 16 and 17 of Schedule 2 set out the exemption and the conditions which must be complied with. The exemption only applies if details of the proposed change (including details of how hazardous substances are to be kept and used as a result of that change) are sent to the planning authority by HSE or ONR and SEPA , along with confirmation that the change does not represent a \"safety hazard change\" and will not result in the establishment changing from upper tier [4] to lower tier or vice versa. In addition, the hazardous substances in question must be kept and used in accordance with the submitted details. Implicit in this is that the site operator has furnished HSE or ONR , as appropriate, and SEPA with details of the proposed change.\nC27. Details of minor modifications sent to planning authorities by HSE / ONR and SEPA should be recorded on the hazardous substances register (regulation 41(8)(b)).\nC28. A \"safety hazard change\" in this context is a change to an area notified to the planning authority by HSE or ONR for the purposes of consultation on planning applications under the DMR (also known as consultation distances). Minor modifications could be made unless and until the cumulative effect of these represented a \"safety hazard change\" or a change in tier.\nC29. The hazardous substances consent itself is not amended.\nC30. Section 26 of the Principal Act gives Scottish Ministers a power to suspend the need for hazardous substances consent in cases of emergency. Where it is considered necessary for the provision of essential services or commodities for a hazardous substance to be present on, over or under land Scottish Ministers may make a direction that the presence of that substance does not constitute a contravention of hazardous substances control. Such a direction, which may be subject to conditions or exceptions, will be valid for a maximum of three months but may be withdrawn at any time, or renewed. The HSE or ONR and SEPA will normally be consulted before these powers are used.\nKey Points: Exemptions\nPlanning authorities and site operators should check exemptions carefully as the terms of some may have changed over the years.\nThe exemption for the established presence of substances requires site operators to notify planning authorities that the exemption is being relied on and give certain details relating to the substances present.\nThe exemption for minor modifications relies on site operators passing information to HSE / ONR and SEPA and these bodies then passing details to the planning authority indicating there is no \"safety hazard change\".",

Our dream required that we work with the local government to change legislation, and it took us almost two years before we were ready to open our doors. That experience, and the many people who helped us along the way, have made us even closer to our local community here. From the beginning, we were committed to brewing sustainably and supporting our Appalachian Mountain community through our beers,\u201d said Kelischek. \u201cAre we part of a bigger brewery? Yes. Does that mean we\u2019re leaving Boone or changing who we are? Not at all. It means that we\u2019ve got the support and flexibility and resources to do even more of what we want.\u201d\nAMB and Craft Brew Alliance have shared a partnership since 2015, a partnership that has already paid off in a big way for AMB.\n\u201cThe partnership with CBA created a lot of great opportunities for our team, giving us more resources and flexibility to create great new beers like Not an IPA, which just earned us our third GABF (Great American Beer Festival) medal, as well as roll out new packaging, explore the hard cider side of things, expand into South Carolina and Tennessee, and continue our relentless passion for Innovation,\u201d Kelischek said. \u201cAlong the way, we\u2019ve gotten to know the family at CBA and learn from each other. Today, we\u2019re really excited to announce that we\u2019re taking this great partnership to the next level and joining CBA. This decision is one of the most important ones we\u2019ve made in our company\u2019s history, and we want to share it with everyone who has been part of our extended family on this journey.\u201d\nThe Craft Brew Alliance also acquired Massachusetts-based Cisco Brewers, and Florida-based Wynwood Brewing Co. along with AMB.\n\u201cWe are thrilled to welcome AMB, Cisco, and Wynwood fully into the CBA family,\u201d said CBA CEO Andy Thomas. \u201cFrom the beginning we knew that our shared values and complementary interests gave us a platform to grow together. Over the past few years, as we\u2019ve gotten to know each of these exceptional breweries and their passionate teams, it became increasingly clear that the future would be brighter for all of us working together as one. In addition to Kona and the rest of the CBA portfolio, Cisco, AMB and Wynwood will all play an important role as CBA focuses on sustainable topline growth for the future.\u201d\nUnder the purchase agreement with AMB, CBA will acquire the AMB brand, brewery and pub and will continue to invest in the local community through ongoing support of We Can So You Can Foundation and other nonprofits. Kelischek will continue to manage the brewery. The transaction is expected to close by the end of the year, pending regulatory approval from the federal Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau.\nTo celebrate the occasion, AMB is hosting a special Happy Hour at 4 p.m. today (Wednesday) at the taphouse located at 163 Boone Creek Drive.\n\u00ab Ensemble Stage Hosts John Pose...\nRetelling the American Civil W... \u00bb",

        "raw_content": "No. 12 Appalachian State Faces Furman on Saturday at The Rock with SoCon Championship Hopes on the Line\nFollowing a big win over Georgia Southern last Saturday, the Mountaineers will take on Furman in the Black Saturday game this weekend with the Southern Conference Championship on the line. Photo by Tyler Buckwell and courtesy of Appalachian Sports Information\nNov. 8, 2012. This Saturday, Nov. 10, the No. 12 Appalachian State Mountaineers (7-3, 5-2 SoCon) will be playing for a record-tying 12th Southern Conference Championship when they take on unranked Furman (3-6, 2-4 SoCon) in the Black Saturday game.\nNot so long ago, the fans of App Nation were beginning to worry this might just be an off year for the ASU squad, but a thrilling come-from-behind victory over then-No. 2/1 Georgia Southern (7-2, 6-2 SoCon) put them back in SoCon title contention. The Mountaineers were down 11 points at one point in the game, 14-3, but showed grit and determination and fought back to win 31-28.\nASU is 11-2 all-time in games where they have an opportunity to clinch at least a share of the SoCon Championship and have won the last eight title-clinching games by an average score of 34-11.\nCause for concern might stem from a few stats that the Mountaineers probably aren\u2019t proud of. They have not played well recently after coming off wins against ranked opponents. The last three times ASU has defeated a nationally ranked opponent, they have lost the following week. Additionally and ironically, last year after defeating a No. 1-ranked Georgia Southern squad 24-17 they dropped a game to Furman 20-10.\nAnother stat that might cause concern is the fact that Furman is the only current member of the SoCon that ASU has a losing record against, 17-22-3 all-time. However, the Mountaineers have defeated Furman in nine of the last 11 meetings dating back to 2002.\nASU brings one of the SoCon\u2019s best offenses to the table for the Black Saturday matchup. The Mountaineers get a SoCon-best 464.6 total yards per game and have the third highest average points per game (32.5) in the conference.\nOn paper, ASU dominates this matchup. Furman is dead last in the SoCon in points per game with only 24.9 and are also dead last in passing yards allowed per game (233.8). This is not a good stat against an ASU squad that has the second-best passing game in the conference with 280.3 yards per game, led by star quarterback Jamal Jackson.\nInteresting to note, however, is that there is only a 0.6 point difference between the two squads in terms of points allowed per game, at 28.6 for ASU and 29.2 for Furman.\nIf ASU pulls off the win, it would tie Furman for 12 SoCon Championships. Furman\u2019s 12 championships have come in 74 years in the conference, while ASU has only been a member for 41 years. The win would also assure them an eighth straight berth into the NCAA Division I Football Championship.\nHowever, if ASU loses, it would put their national championship playoff hopes in serious jeopardy and would also be their first loss to Furman at Kidd Brewer Stadium since 1996. The last time Furman won in Boone, many members of the current ASU squad had not yet started elementary school.\nKickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. Grass seating is still available on goasu.com for $17 to $27. The game will not be televised, but GoASU TV will air the game online with rates starting at $10.95 for a one month subscription. You can also listen to the game live for free on the radio at WATA-AM 1450.\nFor more information, visit goasu.com.\n\u00ab WHS Parents Concerned with JRO...\nPerfect Weather Saturday for B... \u00bb",

        "raw_content": "The Paris Climate Agreement, Not \u201cClimate Change,\u201d Is the Threat; Trump\u2019s Pull-out Is Good for the Poor and for Our Health\nA consortium of medical societies is echoing former President Obama\u2019s dire warning that climate change is the biggest threat facing the world and public health.\nSadiq Khan, London\u2019s first Muslim mayor, agrees. Two days before the attack on London Bridge, and after the Manchester bombing, he deplored President Trump\u2019s withdrawal from the Paris accords. He said that global warming is \u201cone the biggest risks to humanity\u201d and pledged to work with other cities to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement.\nThe American College of Physicians decried Trump\u2019s action, stating that: \u201cThrough the Paris agreement, the U.S.\u2014the world\u2019s second largest carbon emitter\u2014joined with all but two countries to commit to policies to prevent and mitigate the impact of global warming on human health. Without U.S. leadership, achieving the voluntary targets\u2026will be far more difficult. Today\u2019s decision therefore greatly increases the chances that the global effort to reduce carbon emissions will be insufficient to avert catastrophic consequences for human health.\u201d\nNote that the U.S. is the world\u2019s second largest emitter of \u201ccarbon\u201d (carbon dioxide). China recently surpassed the U.S. to become number one. It is soon to lead in economic activity also. Growth and prosperity are closely correlated with CO2 emissions, which come from agricultural machinery, transportation vehicles, and the generation of almost all electricity that does not come from hydroelectric or nuclear plants.\nChina will not lead on compliance with \u201cvoluntary\u201d emissions reductions. It has volunteered to burn as much coal as it likes for the next 13 years.\nSo what would the Paris agreement require the U.S. to do, and how would those actions affect the health of the \u201cchildren, pregnant women,\u2026 the elderly and people with limited financial resources,\u201d about whom the 12 medical societies profess such concern?\nThe \u201cvoluntary obligations\u201d of the U.S. include contributing to a $100 billion per year wealth transfer to poorer nations through the Green Climate Fund, and slashing its use of coal, natural gas, and oil. The average U.S. family would have to pay $30,000 more for electricity over the next decade. Of course, the price of electricity is part of the cost of everything else also. More and more vulnerable people in the U.S. would, like those in the EU, face a \u201cheat or eat\u201d dilemma. And how much would the cost of medical care rise if a hospital has to pay $7 million/yr for electricity at 40 cents/kWh instead of $1.5 million at 9 cents/kWh? How many more industries would move to China or other places not crippled by the Paris \u201ceconomic suicide pact\u201d?\nIs it worth it? Does human use of the hydrocarbon fuels that provide 80 percent of energy used in the U.S. \u201cimperil our planet\u2019s very survival\u201d? And would a theoretical decrease in the global mean temperature by about 0.2 degree Celsius by 2100 save it? Or is the Paris climate agreement a \u201cMad Hatter Tea Party\u201d?\nWhat about the increase in vector-borne diseases warned of in the Annals of Internal Medicine? Let\u2019s remember that malaria used to occur in Alaska and Siberia. The mosquitoes are still there, just no one with malaria to bite. If we avert a 0.2 degree temperature increase, but still send migrants from tropical countries to Minnesota without proper screening, we will see vector-borne diseases.\nAnd \u201cfood and water insecurity\u201d from climate change? What about from energy rationing? In 1979, the late Isaac Asimov wrote that the worst imminent catastrophe, one which could bring down human civilization, was energy starvation. Abundant energy is necessary for modern life itself, as well as for remedying problems ranging from pollution to water shortage.\nWhat about heat waves, and people perishing from heat-related illnesses? The physicians tout the health benefits of walking and bike-riding, but say nothing about turning off the air conditioning in Miami.\nThe consortium doesn\u2019t get into these details. Presumably, they are unimportant in view of the \u201cbroad consensus\u201d\u2014leaving out some 31,000 scientists who disagree\u2014that \u201cclimate change\u201d (they are no longer sure it will be global warming) could cause \u201cirrevocable damage\u201d without \u201caggressive, concerted efforts\u201d to \u201ccurb greenhouse gas emissions.\u201d\nThe imminent, serious threat to public health is energy poverty. The world, and especially the poorest and most vulnerable, owe President Trump a huge debt of gratitude for his strong leadership in facing down the powerful interests intent on harming America through the Paris regime.\njaneorientmd@gmail.com @jorient",

        "raw_content": "Prelude to the Battle of Stones River\nBattle of Stones River Begins\nIn late December 1862, Union and Confederate forces clashed at the Battle of Stones River, near Murfreesboro, Tennessee, during the American Civil War (1861-65). On December 31, Confederate General Braxton Bragg\u2019s 35,000 troops successfully attacked the 42,000-strong Union force commanded by Major General William Rosecrans. Union troops withstood the assault, but retreated to a defensive position, which they would hold against repeated attacks over the next two days. On January 2, 1863, another Confederate assault was repelled by overwhelming Union artillery fire, forcing Bragg to order a Southern retreat. With approximately 23,000 total casualties, Stones River was one of the deadliest battles of the war. Rosecrans claimed victory and the battle provided a much-needed boost to Union morale following their defeat at Fredericksburg, Virginia.\nThe end of 1862 found Major General William Rosecrans\u2019 Army of the Cumberland in Nashville, 30 miles north of General Braxton Bragg\u2019s troops. Rosecrans (1819-98) had assumed command of the army only in October, with the understanding that he would attack Bragg (1817-76) and drive the Confederates from central Tennessee. This move was delayed throughout the fall by John Morgan\u2019s cavalry, who harassed the Yankees and threatened their supply line. Finally, the day after Christmas, Rosecrans moved his force south to meet Bragg.\nDid you know? In September 1863, William Rosecrans, who led Union forces to victory at the Battle of Stones River, suffered a major loss to Braxton Bragg and the Confederates at the Battle of Chickamauga in Georgia.\nThe armies collided along Stones River on New Year\u2019s Eve. Facing a larger Union force (42,000 Union soldiers to 35,000 Confederates), Bragg launched an attack in bitterly cold morning fog against the Yankees\u2019 right flank. The attack was initially successful in driving the Union back, but the Yankees did not break. A day of heavy fighting brought significant casualties, and the suffering was compounded by the frigid weather. The Confederates came close to winning, but were not quite able to turn the Union flank against Stones River. The new year dawned the next day with each army still in the field and ready for another fight.\nThe strike came on January 2, and the Confederates lost the battle. Bragg attacked against the advice of his generals and lost the confidence of his army. The Union troops repelled the assault, and Bragg was forced back to Tullahoma, Tennessee. The North was in control of central Tennessee, and the Union victory provided a much-needed morale boost in the aftermath of the Yankees loss at the Battle of Fredericksburg in December 1862. Stones River was a hard-fought, bloody engagement, with some of the highest casualty rates of the war. The Union suffered approximately 13,000 troops killed, wounded or captured, while the Confederates had approximately 10,000 casualties. President Abraham Lincoln (1809-65) later wrote to Rosecrans, \u201c\u2026you gave us a hard victory which, had there been a defeat instead, the nation could scarcely have lived over.\u201d\nhttps://www.history.com/topics/american-civil-war/battle-of-stones-river\nBattle of Stones River concludes\nOn this day in 1863, the Battle of Stones River concludes when the Union troops of William Rosecrans defeat Confederates under Braxton Bragg at Murfeesboro, Tennessee, just south of Nashville.

        "title": "The Barons' Wars: Battle of Lewes | HistoryNet",
        "raw_content": "The Barons\u2019 Wars: Battle of Lewes\nWith a terrible flourish of trumpets, Edward Plantagenet, prince of England, led his mounted knights at full gallop toward the infantry of Simon de Montfort, who were charging down Offham Hill to meet them. The rattling armor of the knights added to the din made by the shouting men, rearing horses and thudding hooves. Earl Simon\u2019s foot soldiers, a contingent of volunteers from London, were lightly armed and inexperienced in battle. Prince Edward\u2019s horsemen charged right through their ranks, chopping with swords, axes and maces. After recovering from the shock, the surviving Londoners dropped their weapons and ran from the field. Most of them tried unsuccessfully to hide among the rocks and hollows along the slope. The opening phase of the Battle of Lewes on the morning of Wednesday, May 14, 1264, was turning into a rout for Earl Simon\u2019s outnumbered army and a rousing triumph for the royalist forces of King Henry III of England.\nHenry and Simon had been at odds with each other for years, though it had not always been so. Born in Montfort d\u2019Aumauri, Normandy, in 1208, Simon de Montfort had come to England in 1230 to reclaim land owned by his family. King Henry liked the young Norman nobleman and not only gave him his lands but also made him earl of Leicester. In return, Simon promised to pay a fee of 100 pounds sterling and supply 60 knights in time of war, and was made the king\u2019s steward. Simon, however, secretly married the king\u2019s widowed sister, Eleanor, in 1238, without asking Henry\u2019s approval. Their friendship cooled from that point. Moreover, while the marriage gave the ambitious Simon financial security and a sudden rise in social position, it earned him the enmity of the church, to which Eleanor had taken an oath of perpetual widowhood after the death of her first husband.\nWhen the king\u2019s brother, Richard of Cornwall, organized a party of English knights for the Crusades, Simon \u2014 deciding it might be best if he left the country for awhile \u2014 volunteered to go with him, and took Eleanor as far as Italy. He returned to show his martial mettle in 1248, when Henry appointed him governor of Gascony. Fending off French challenges to the territory earned the earl a reputation as \u2018the wisest and stoutest warrior in England,\u2019 but the king envied his prowess and distrusted his ambition. For his part, Simon came to see that Henry was neither a strong military leader nor a forceful king. The adjective most often used by contemporaries to describe the king was\u2019simple.\u2019\nThe denouement began in May 1258, when Simon and the leading members of England\u2019s nobility confronted the king and demanded a more active role in running the country. There was a precedent for this, of course \u2014 the Magna Carta, signed by Henry\u2019s father, King John, in 1215, had guaranteed a number of rights to all Englishmen on paper, with the barons gaining the most power in practice. When John died in 1216, loyal barons had done most of the decision making for the 9-year-old King Henry III. Now, fearing the prospect of civil war, Henry agreed to the Provisions of Oxford, whereby the king would submit all decisions to an advisory council consisting of 15 barons, including Simon \u2014 a forerunner of Parliament.\nNeedless to say, Henry did not take kindly to the provisions or to the restrictions they imposed. He was soon ignoring the barons\u2019 advice and tried buying them off with gifts whenever they complained. That failed to deter Simon, however, who insisted on a permanent council. The dispute between the king and his brother-in-law festered for six years, until they both agreed to have King Louis IX of France act as arbitrator to settle their differences. In January 1264, at a gathering known as the Mise of Amiens, Louis annulled the provisions. The French king opposed limitations of royal power on principle, and informed Earl Simon that he had no right to interfere with Henry or his government.\nLouis\u2019 judgment left Simon with a choice: either give up his dream of curbing royal power and authority, or fight. The earl decided to fight.\nIn the coming conflict, Simon would be able to call on a slightly larger number of men than the king. Of the 400 mid-13th-century knights known by name, only about 100 were recognized as royalists \u2014 though it has also been estimated that there were as many as 12,000 knights throughout the kingdom.\nBesides those mounted knights, contingents of armed tradesmen from London and other cities also sided with the barons. These levies tended not to be very well trained, however. On one occasion, a group of Henry\u2019s courtiers broke up a drill parade of one of the amateur units, informing the men that the profession of arms was \u2018not fit for bran-dealers, soap-boilers, and clowns.\u2019\nBoth Henry and Simon spent the spring of 1264 preparing for war. On Palm Sunday, April 5, Henry\u2019s eldest son, Prince Edward, captured the town of Northampton from the barons. One of Edward\u2019s prisoners was Earl Simon\u2019s son. Northampton\u2019s most determined defenders turned out to be a group of Oxford scholars who shot at Edward\u2019s men with longbows, crossbows and slings.\nSimon retaliated by laying siege to Rochester Castle on the Medway River in Kent. The royalist garrison managed to beat back each attack, however, and held off the barons for eight days. Late in April the earl received word that Henry and his army were threatening to attack London, one of the barons\u2019 main strongholds. Simon immediately broke off the siege and began marching northwest, hoping to intercept Henry before he could reach the city.\nUnknown to Simon, the king actually had no interest in London. What he wanted was control of Kent and Sussex, the land between London and the English Channel ports. If he could control that part of England, he could keep communications open with France and his allies there. Therefore, instead of moving on London, Henry attacked a baronial unit outside Rochester. Some of the prisoners he took were tortured \u2014 this may have been the age of chivalry, but it was honored more in word than in deed and was usually reserved for the noble classes.\nFrom Rochester, the royal forces moved southeast. Earl Simon\u2019s castle at Tonbridge was captured on May 1. The king\u2019s army then went on to Winchelsea and Romney. Outside Romney, Welsh archers who supported the earl harassed the king\u2019s men from the cover of woods along the roadway.\nHenry\u2019s harried men stopped at Lewes, in Sussex near the Channel coast. Earl Simon\u2019s army was right behind and camped at Fletching, eight miles to the north. King Henry spent the night in the priory at St. Pancras, about half a mile south of Lewes, while his 21-year-old son Edward took up residence in Lewes Castle, west of the town.\nThe royalists enjoyed a decided numerical advantage at Lewes, and the hotheaded young Prince Edward was spoiling for a fight. On May 13, the bishops of Chichester, London and Worcester delivered terms on Simon\u2019s behalf to King Henry. Simon offered to withdraw his army and pay Henry 50,000 marks if the king said he would promise to obey the annulled Provisions of Oxford. The royalists had nothing but contempt for the earl and his terms, the acceptance of which both Henry and Edward would have regarded as an admission of weakness. Henry rejected the offer, and Edward remarked that he would only be satisfied when Earl Simon was hanged for treason.\nNow realizing that battle was inevitable, Simon led his men out of Fletching that evening and stopped just north of Lewes. His commanders suggested a night attack against the royalist forces, but Simon rejected it \u2014 attacking under cover of darkness, he said, would be cowardly, treacherous and dishonorable. Instead, the baronial forces did not begin moving south toward Lewes until first light on May 14. Simon turned off the roadway at the town of Offham, and his men began trudging up the side of Offham Hill.\nOffham Hill is steep and high, overlooking the neighboring countryside for miles. A lookout could have seen the baronial army well in advance and sent a warning to Lewes. Luck was with Earl Simon that morning, however. His advance scouts found only one royalist lookout on the hill, and he was fast asleep. The surprised sentry was taken prisoner, and the army continued undetected toward Lewes.\nWhen forward units came within sight of the bell tower of St. Pancras priory, where King Henry still slept, the baronial army halted and was formed into divisions by its commanders. The exact size of Simon\u2019s force is not known, but most sources put it between 4,000 and 5,000 men, with an additional 600 cavalry. Not only were his troops outnumbered, but most of Simon\u2019s most experienced and trusted commanders had also been taken prisoner in earlier skirmishes.\nThe baronial army, whose men were described as dressing in Crusader style with a red cross on a white shift, deployed in the customary three divisions, or \u2018battles.\u2019 The center was commanded by Gilbert de Clare, Earl of Gloucester, one of Simon\u2019s most trusted lieutenants, also known as Gilbert the Red. The right was led by Henry de Montfort, Simon\u2019s son and an experienced soldier in his own right. At the head of the left wing was Sir Henry de Hastings, a veteran of two Welsh campaigns. Though Sir Henry was an excellent commander, Simon expected little from his battle, since it consisted primarily of lightly armed Londoners with little or no combat experience.\nAs a reserve, another force of Londoners was placed behind the three main battles. Far to the rear were the baggage wagons, along with Simon\u2019s personal cart, described as a four-wheeled chariot. The earl had recently broken his leg by falling from his horse and had had to direct operations from that cart, but at that time it was occupied by three frightened London businessmen who had been caught trying to sell information to Prince Edward. Simon would decide what to do about them after the battle.\nBy that time, the royalist army had been alerted and was drawn up for combat. Its estimated 9,000 men included 1,500 armored knights. At its head was King Henry himself, who had elected to lead his supporters despite his own military deficiencies. At his left was his brother Richard, Earl of Cornwall, who liked to call himself \u2018King of the Romans.\u2019 Commanding the right battle was Prince Edward.\nMuch has been made of Prince Edward\u2019s military skill, and he has been romanticized at great length as \u2018Longshanks\u2019 and \u2018Hammer of the Scots.\u2019 Edward, however, was also greedy, sadistic and violent \u2014 attributes his adoring official biographers tend to overlook. In one instance, witnesses reported that he \u2018horribly mutilated\u2019 a young man he met on the street, for no apparent reason. He also stood by and watched as some of his men looted a priory at Wallingford \u2014 afterward, he probably collected his share of the loot. Edward\u2019s courage remains undisputed, but his glaring character flaws also played a large part in his military career. His cruelty and obsession with vengeance would affect his judgment as much as his more publicized traits.\nThe royalists had advanced only about a quarter mile from Lewes when Earl Simon ordered the three battles of his force to charge \u2014 by taking the initiative, he reasoned, his outnumbered army would have an advantage. It is not known who on the royalist side first saw the charge coming and gave the order, but the order was given, and soon both sides were rushing toward each other.\nThe cavalry made contact first, as mounted knights crashed into each other with a clang of armor. Almost at once, the ordered ranks disintegrated, and the fight broke into individual combats as horsemen hammered and hacked at each other with maces and long, heavy swords. Some fell to the ground, their armor split. The chain mail that predominated among them could stop a blow from a club or mace, but the impact would pass right through it, often resulting in broken bones and hemorrhaging. The odd pieces of plate armor they wore and their flat-topped, cylindrical helmets were more effective against most weapons, although a heavy sword could split even plate. The horses too were sometimes protected with coverings of chain mail, leather or quilted cloth, depending on what the individual knight could afford.\nSimon\u2019s left wing, commanded by de Hastings, was confronted by the royalist right, led by Prince Edward. Only a thin line of armored knights stood between Edward and his paladins and Sir Henry\u2019s green London infantrymen. Outnumbered, the baronial horse soon began falling back, leaving the line of foot to absorb Edward\u2019s next charge.Foot soldiers, including archers, wore a padded doublet called a gambeson that helped soften the impact of a club or mace. The primary infantry weapon was the spear, but some of Simon\u2019s London contingent may have picked up pitchforks, scythes or other farm implements during the march.\nEven experienced infantrymen would have been hard-pressed to hold their own under the conditions that de Hastings\u2019 men faced at Lewes. Sir Henry\u2019s raw London troops had no chance at all. They broke ranks and fled. Some headed toward the west, hoping to hide in the woods, while others tried to escape across the Ouse River to the east.Edward, sensing an easy victory, gave chase. Besides tactical reasons for launching a pursuit, he had a personal grudge against Londoners because of the way they had treated his mother the year before \u2014 as her barge had passed under London Bridge, crowds threw stones and rotten fruit at her. Now the prince was determined to have his revenge. For about four miles, he and his horsemen pursued the Londoners and cut down a large number of them. About 60 men also drowned in the Ouse.\nIn the course of that pursuit, Edward\u2019s cavalry came upon Earl Simon\u2019s baggage train, as well as his personal cart. Expecting to find the earl, the royalists were disappointed to find only three prisoners. Without bothering to inquire their identity or which side they were on, the horsemen killed the captives \u2014 apparently, having cut down so many men already, three more did not seem to matter.\nEdward\u2019s men took their time looting Earl Simon\u2019s baggage after killing most of the men who had been left to defend it. By the time he gathered his scattered horsemen and led them back to the battlefield at Lewes, it was early afternoon. Edward was confident that the royal force had routed the barons. Instead, he discovered that Simon had won full possession of the field, that his father was being held prisoner in St. Pancras priory and that the royal forces were in full retreat.\nDuring Edward\u2019s wild pursuit of the London contingent, the battle had been lost \u2014 as a direct result, in fact, of his ill-judged chase. When he saw the prince\u2019s right wing, one-third of the royalist forces, go charging off into the distance and out of the battle, Simon had brought up his reserves and attacked the royalist center and left battles en masse. The earl probably did not lead the attack himself, but he took part in the wild melee of individual combats that ensued.\nKing Henry, though not as renowned as his son for battlefield exploits, reportedly fought honorably and well at Lewes. His gaudy red-and-gold banner made it easy for everyone on both sides to recognize him on the field, and he had two chargers killed from under him as he managed to fight off a determined attack by Gilbert, Earl of Gloucester. He soon realized, however, that he was fighting a losing battle. Outnumbered, the king and his household knights retreated to St. Pancras priory. Only the steadfastness of his life guards saved him from death. One of his knights, Philip Basset, left the field with 20 wounds.\nThe commander of the royalist left, Richard of Cornwall, also acquitted himself well, but he did not have the king\u2019s household cavalry to support him. Ultimately his outnumbered force also broke and ran toward the Ouse. Cornwall himself sought shelter in a mill, which came to be known as the Mill of the Hide.\nThe mill was quickly surrounded by an armed mob that gathered outside waving weapons, calling Cornwall obscene names and demanding that he surrender to them. Realizing that he had no choice but to comply, Cornwall emerged from his hiding place and was marched through Lewes by his captors. The mob relished every bit of the irony in seeing the king\u2019s brother, who had grandly insisted on calling himself the King of Rome, covered in the dust and dirt of the mill from which he had been flushed.Prince Edward and his lieutenants managed to size up the situation at once. He was all for reviving the battle and attacking Simon de Montfort personally, convinced that if he killed the earl, the baronial cause would die with him. His men, however, wanted no part of that plan. They were now heavily outnumbered and stood little chance of finding Simon, let alone slaying him.\nWhile Edward\u2019s commander left the field and rode off to the south, the prince and a handful of followers decided to fight their way to St. Pancras. Their reward when they reached the priory was to be taken prisoner as well. Edward\u2019s reward for his final act of impious valor was that he remained a hostage for more than a year.\nAfter spending a night in the priory with his son and his followers as captives, Henry agreed on May 15 to discuss terms with Earl Simon. Throughout the day\u2019s negotiations, priests acted as intermediaries, coming and going between the priory and Simon\u2019s headquarters in the town of Lewes. No copy of the treaty, the Mise of Lewes, has survived, and nobody has recorded exactly what its conditions might have been. It is certain, however, that it left Simon de Montfort with more power and prestige than he had had before \u2014 and King Henry with less.\nWith that agreement sealed, there remained the unpleasant task of disposing of the slain. The streets of Lewes were lined with dead and wounded, and most of the latter would also die. The abbot of St. Pancras priory put the number of dead at 2,700, most of them peasants.\nThe helmets and armor of the knights was more than the average peasant could afford. A second reason for class disparity in the number killed was the profit motive \u2014 a captured knight could be held ransom for a considerable sum, determined by his rank and station, whereas a peasant soldier was worth nothing but killing.\nIn 1846, during construction of a railway line through the site of St. Pancras priory, excavators discovered a mass of human bones in a well about 18 feet below ground level. There were enough bones to fill 13 freight cars \u2014 probably well over 1,000 skeletons. The bones were taken from the site and unloaded a short distance away, where they were used as fill for an embankment then under construction. Whether they were the remains of Henry\u2019s or Simon\u2019s men is unknown.\nAfter the Battle of Lewes, England had two rulers. Henry was still king, but Earl Simon, Gilbert the Red and the Bishop of Chichester headed a committee of barons, church leaders and two representatives of each town who held control over the rights and power of the crown.\nSimon\u2019s de facto reign would be colorful but brief. After Gilbert, accusing Simon himself of behaving too much like a king, met with Prince Edward and raised an army against him, the earl would die fighting at the Battle of Evesham on August 3, 1265. For the time being, however, as Winston Churchill wrote in his History of the English-Speaking Peoples, \u2018Simon de Montfort was now in every respect master of England.\u2019\nThis article was written by David A.

        "raw_content": "Honda Center stands as one of the premier entertainment and sports venues in the country.\nIn addition to the 2007 Stanley Cup champion Anaheim Ducks, the arena is also home to the Big West Basketball Tournament. Honda Center annually hosts top-name concerts, exciting sporting events and family favorites such as the Harlem Globetrotters and Stars on Ice. In just the past few years, capacity crowds filled Honda Center for world class acts such as The Rolling Stones, Garth Brooks, Maroon 5, Fleetwood Mac, Ariana Grande, Justin Timberlake and more. Since opening, the arena has hosted over 4,000 events and more than 39 million guests have walked through its doors.\nOwned by the city of Anaheim, Honda Center officially opened as Anaheim Arena on June 19, 1993 with a sold out Barry Manilow concert. In October of that same year, the venue was renamed Arrowhead Pond and hosted the first Mighty Ducks of Anaheim game. The year 2005 began a new era as Henry and Susan Samueli took ownership of both the team and the venue management company, Anaheim Arena Management, LLC. In 2006, the official name of the arena changed to Honda Center, along with the team to Anaheim Ducks.\nHonda Center continues to make improvements to the facility, all in the interest of creating a great experience for every visiting fan. The venue\u2019s most expansive upgrade, The Grand Terrace Project, features a 15,000-square-foot indoor-outdoor entertainment space, a 250-seat full service restaurant on the main level and an expanded Anaheim Ducks team store. Cisco\u2019s state-of-the-art StadiumVision platform has been installed throughout the arena, incorporating more than 500 HD Monitors into the venue, creating a world class immersive live entertainment experience.\nDebuting in fall of 2015 was a brand-new scoreboard measuring 27 feet tall and 47 feet 10 inches wide. The six millimeter diode equipped hardware features 1248 x 2208 lines of resolution, the clearest and highest definition picture available in any North American venue.\nBuilding original cost: $103 million\nBuilding final cost: $123 million\nArchitect: Hellmuth, Obata & Kassabaum (HOK)\nBuilding owner: City of Anaheim\nManagement and Food & Beverage: Anaheim Arena Management, LLC\nMain Tenant: Anaheim Ducks (Anaheim Ducks Hockey Club, LLC)\nFirst event: Barry Manilow (sold out)\nThe arena is home to the Big West Basketball Tournament\nNCAA History: Men\u2019s Basketball West Regional (1998, 2001, 2003, 2011, 2014, 2016), 2008 Men\u2019s Basketball First & Second Rounds, and 1999 Men\u2019s Ice Hockey Frozen Four.\nHockey Capacity: 17,174\nBasketball Capacity: 18,336\nCenter Stage Capacity: 18,900\nEnd Stage Capacity: 18,325\nFunction Rooms include the Vista Rooms and Anaheim Room\nJack Daniel's Old No. 7 Club & The Shock Top Terrace located on the Private Club level\nThe complete arena encompasses 650,000 square feet\nThere is more than 200,000 square feet of marble lining the interior concourses and walls.\nThe 12 feet of granite, mined in Sweden and fabricated in Italy, encircles the exterior\nThe building's roof spans 444 feet by 329 feet, more than 100 feet above the arena floor\nThe distance from the arena\u2019s highest seat straight down to the floor level is only 82 feet.\nIce is made for hockey games thanks to 10 miles of piping that travels along the arena's concrete floor.\nWhen ice is needed for an event, a solution made up of 40% Ethylene Glycol and 60% water is pumped through the piping, freezing the concrete. A thin layer of water is then pumped onto the floor and freezes to the concrete. Logos and ice markings are painted and another layer of ice is added.\nIt takes roughly 30 hours and 15,000 gallons of water to complete the ice making process, but only 5-6 hours to remove the ice at the end of the season.\nIce hockey is played on ice that is 1 1/4\" thick with a floor temperature of 21 degrees. The ice for figure skating is 2\u201d thick and 25-26 degrees. Figure skaters need the ice to be thicker and softer for jumping and landing.\nIt takes eight hours for a 25 man crew to go from hockey to a concert setup\nThere are more than 130 palm trees on the property.",

        "raw_content": "Former Boston Bar resident and UFV student Gordon Kearns has won a silver medal at the Skills Canada national competition.\nFormer Boston Bar resident wins silver medal at skills competition\nGordon Kearns competed with top students across Canada\nA former Boston Bar resident has proved himself as one of the country\u2019s top electrical apprentices in training.\nGordon Kearns recently won the silver medal at the Skills Canada national competition in Edmonton. The 21-year-old Chilliwack resident placed second in the category of post-secondary electrical installations.\nCompeting against the top students across Canada, Kearns had to showcase his talent during a two-day challenge. He was able to compete at the event after taking home the gold medal at the provincial competition at Abbotsford Tradex in mid-April.\n\u201cIt was quite the feeling of accomplishment,\u201d said Kearns, who is halfway through the four-year electrical apprenticeship program at University of the Fraser Valley\u2019s Trades and Technology Centre in Chilliwack.\nThe challenges at both the provincial and national levels were similar.\nAt the Abbotsford Tradex, Kearns was competing against 11 other students in the post-secondary category. They had 6.5 hours to complete the same task.\n\u201cIt was really intense \u2014 there were lots of cameras and people watching and making comments,\u201d said Kearns. \u201cIt was very stressful.\u201d\nKearns was told that it was his accuracy that won him the gold. With an allowed tolerance of being out by three millimetres on measurements, he was \u201cbang on every time.\u201d\nAt the Edmonton Expo Centre from May 13\u201316, the scene was very similar, but on a larger scale. The nation-wide competition brought together the best students from each province to compete in different categories.\nKearns was given two six-hour days to work on a large wall that was formatted to imitate different scenarios, such as a house or an industrial environment. He wired lights, switches, smoke detectors, bathroom fans, and timers.\n\u201cI feel like it was really nerve-wracking, but it was exciting and exhilarating at the same time,\u201d said Kearns, who didn\u2019t think he would end up on the podium as he had only trained for two weeks. He simply wanted to see where his skill level was compared to other apprentices in training.\n\u201cI think the competition is a good challenge, and a great way to get young people interested in trades and technology,\u201d said Kearns.\nThe willingness to put himself up for a challenge and to compete is just one of the qualities that makes Kearns a top student, said UFV instructor Rod McLeod.\n\u201cHe is one of those people who is a go getter,\u201d said McLeod. \u201cHe takes the initiative to do the jobs that need to get done, which serves him well in this industry.\u201d\nNot only will the award help open doors for Kearns down the road, but it also showcases the strengths of the UFV program.\n\u201cIt reflects the fact that we\u2019re training people with the right industry skills, so they can go to work and build on those abilities,\u201d said McLeod.\nCarolin Mine near Hope may reopen\nChilliwack-Hope MLA\u2019s first Question Period issue about a mobile home park in Abby",

        "raw_content": "Top Fraud Defense Lawyers in Maryland\nIf you have been charged with fraud, or believe that you are in danger of having fraud charges leveled at you, the best thing to do is to find a good fraud defense lawyer.\nThere are many variables that can play important roles in any criminal law investigation. If you are in danger of criminal fraud charges, then you should acknowledge that this isn\u2019t something you should try to handle by yourself. Great care, knowledge, and discretion are necessary to confidently defend against fraud charges and having a seasoned fraud defense lawyer to help you is essential.\nIf you are concerned about criminal fraud charges and live in Maryland or Washington, D.C., then the lawyers at Houlon Berman may be your best chance for success. Their experienced team can help you organize your defense and face criminal fraud charges.\nUnderstanding Fraud Charges\nThere are many different kinds of fraud but the unifying feature is that they involve the use of deception to gain money, property, or information. Our White Collar Crime Charges page goes into a bit more detail on the different types of fraud crimes.\nProving that someone has actually committed fraud is more difficult than showing they were simply dishonest. There are five (5) elements to the defendant\u2019s actions that must be proven in order to substantiate a criminal fraud charge. Each of these elements of fraud is detailed below.\nFalse Statement of Fact\nIt must be shown that the defendant made a deliberate and \u201cfactual\u201d statement that was false.\nWhile this seems simple at first glance, it is more nuanced than it appears. A statement of belief or opinion is far different from material fact. If a salesman tells you an item is \u201cthe best he\u2019s seen\u201d, even if it is of low quality, this cannot be considered fraud.\nThe false statement must also have significant bearing on the situation or event in question to be considered as fraud.\nIt must also be proven that the defendant was aware that his false statement was, in fact, untrue when he made it.\nA person who believes incorrect facts cannot generally be guilty of committing fraud, though there are exceptions to this rule. When an individual or organization has a legal responsibility to know the facts, and by failing to do so relays false information, they can be found guilty of a fraud crime.\nAn example of this might be a realtor who declares a home to be completely safe even though they have not conducted a professional home inspection.\nIntent to Deceive\nIt must be shown that the defendant made conscious and deliberate use of a falsehood with the intent to deceive the potential fraud victim.\nThe purpose of the deception must be for the defendant to deprive the victim of assets or a legal right.\nVictim\u2019s Reliance on the False Statement\nFor deception to be considered fraud, the victim must have had a reasonable reliance upon the false statement. If a person is convinced of something that is completely absurd, it cannot generally constitute fraud.\nThis means that the false statement used to deceive needs to be something believable. It is also implicit that the victim would have reason to believe the falsehood and to believe the person presenting it.\nThere can be exceptions to this rule in cases where the victim is ignorant, superstitious, illiterate, or otherwise at a disadvantage in determining what is reasonable.\nDamage to the Victim\nPerhaps the most important aspect, and the easiest to determine, is that this deception resulted in some sort of substantive damage to the victim. The most common damages related to fraud are monetary in nature. The victim is deceived into giving up money, goods, services, or any number of things.\nThere are also many ways to use accounting to commit fraud against a government or organization.\nBut the main factor is that the defendant has caused damage to the victim, and benefited thereby.\nGet an Experienced Fraud Defense Lawyer\nEach of these criteria for criminal fraud can be seen from numerous perspectives and are very nuanced. Without the guidance and experience of a good fraud defense lawyer, the prosecution will have a distinct advantage over the defendant.\nThe team at Houlon Berman can prepare your best defense against criminal fraud charges. Speak with a fraud defense lawyer, and get the legal advice you need today.\nGo from Fraud Defense Lawyer to the White Collar Crime Charges page",

        "raw_content": "Urban Outfitters' Call For Free Labor Is Just Its Latest Shameful Move\nLet's take a depressing walk down memory lane, shall we?\nThe retailer's parent company, URBN, which also oversees Anthropologie and Free People, asked some of its salaried employees to volunteer at a fulfillment center in Pennsylvania in anticipation of a busy month, Gawker reported earlier this week. What this means is that employees at the URBN home office were being asked to work for free in order to help make sure customers got their orders speedily.\n[W]e received a tremendous response, including many of our senior management. Many hourly employees also offered to pitch in -- an offer which we appreciated, but declined in order to ensure full compliance with all applicable labor laws and regulations. The dedication and commitment of URBN employees are second to none, and their response to this request is a testament to their solidarity and continued success.\nThe the chain doesn't have the cleanest record when it comes to cultural or political sensitivity, either. Here's a reminder of some other controversies Urban Outfitters has stirred in years past:\nCEO and founder Richard Hayne has donated $14,000 over the years to presidential hopeful Rick Santorum, who has been vocal in his opposition to gay marriage. In 2008, Urban Outfitters quickly discontinued a T-shirt that had the slogan \"I support same-sex marriage.\"\nSomeone at the the company actually thought it was a good idea to make sweatshirts emblazoned with \"Kent State\" along with some bloody-looking stains. Four students were killed and many others wounded in a shooting at that Ohio university in 1970. The retailer received immediate backlash and pulled the item from its site, claiming the stains were the result of discoloration and \"natural wear and fray.\u201d\nUrban Outfitters has a long history of stealing other people's designs. It's lifted freely from jewelry sellers on Etsy and artists who are trying to sell their work online.\nJenny Che\nUrban Outfitters Overtime Free Labor Working For Free Urban Outfitters Scandal",

        "title": "Why Aren\u2019t There More Women Working In Audio? | HuffPost",
        "raw_content": "Why Aren\u2019t There More Women Working In Audio?\n\u201cWe have a very serious problem in this country in how we socialize women in technology and in leadership positions in general.\u201d\nOn a hot summer day in Nevada City, California, a group of teenage girls are scattered before a stage in the town\u2019s cultural center. They\u2019re studying an analog soundboard, which is covered with so many knobs and levers that it looks like it belongs in the cockpit of an airplane. Onstage, a band is doing a sound check, which requires lots of drumming, strumming, and saying \u201ccheck\u201d into a microphone.\n\u201cCheck is a really annoying word,\u201d the guitar player says. \u201cYeah, it\u2019s losing all meaning,\u201d the bassist replies.\nIt\u2019s the last day of the week-long Live Sound Camp for Girls. This afternoon, there will be a show, but the band won\u2019t be the real focus. Rather, the performance will be a chance for 16 girls \u2014 and a few boys \u2014 to show off the live music-production skills they\u2019ve learned by controlling all the technical aspects of the concert on their own.\nRELATED: How Women Mentors Make a Difference in Engineering\nThe camp\u2019s instructor, Tiffany Hendren, hovers by the soundboard as the teenagers take turns with the headphones. One participant, 17-year-old Mary Vogel, explains the intricacies of micing a drum set to me. \u201cYou\u2019re creating something live right in front of you,\u201d she says of sound engineering. \u201cYou\u2019re making it richer. You\u2019re taking out the little buzzes and snaps and things you just don\u2019t want to hear because it takes away from the performance.\u201d Vogel, who has spent two summers at the camp, says she\u2019s considering taking music-production classes in college next year.\nSound Camp, which has events in California as well as St. Louis, Philadelphia, and New York, is part of SoundGirls.org, an organization co-founded by Karrie Keyes, the live-sound engineer for Pearl Jam. Keyes tells me she started the camp to encourage girls and introduce them to potential careers in audio. \u201cIt lets them get their hands on the gear before anyone can discourage them or frighten them away,\u201d she says.\nKeyes works in a profession that has long been notoriously dominated by men. In 2000, the Audio Engineering Society\u2019s (AES) women in audio committee \u2014 which is now, tellingly, defunct \u2014 loosely estimated that 5 percent of those working in the field were female. A 2016 survey by AES found 7 percent of its members were women, though that number is incomplete because participants could opt out of reporting their gender. According to Women\u2019s Audio Mission (WAM), a nonprofit that trains women for sound careers, that number is probably lower. With men holding the vast majority of technical jobs in audio, it follows that virtually all the music we hear \u2014 on the radio, over headphones, or in a live venue \u2014 has been shaped by a man.\nRELATED: Why Is Silicon Valley So Awful to Women?\nWomen like Hendren and Keyes spend many years mastering their craft. When she\u2019s not teaching at Sound Camp, Hendren is a full-time sound engineer who works for venues in St. Louis and tours with bands. Hendren got her start by spending five years as a monitor engineer, which means she was in charge of what artists hear on stage. Her venue saw 150 to 175 shows a year, but she says she can count on one hand the number of female sound engineers she met during that time.\n\u201cThe guys who worked at the venue were great,\u201d Hendren says of The Pageant in St. Louis. \u201cBut I always felt like I had to be a little bit better at my job than they were. And then when I started talking to other women, and had that feeling confirmed, it was like, \u2018Okay, I\u2019m not imagining this. This really is taking me a lot more effort than it\u2019s taking that guy over there.\u2019\u201d Hendren says she has lost work for being a woman; in one case, she was rejected for a job because the band\u2019s wives were uncomfortable with a woman being on the bus.\nTeaching at Sound Camp has been life-changing for Hendren. When she describes the first time she saw the girls run a show without her help, she tears up. \u201cIt was so great,\u201d Hendren says. \u201cIt was really amazing to feel like I did something for someone that no one was able to do for me.\u201d\nRELATED: The Confidence Gap\nIt is important to note that, despite the challenges, women have been producing music for decades. In the 1950s, when Cordell Jackson (nicknamed \u201cthe rock-and-roll granny\u201d) couldn\u2019t break into Sun Records, she started her own Memphis-based label, Moon Records, likely making her the first female record producer and engineer in the U.S. Other early women producers include Bonnie Guitar, whose label made hits like The Fleetwoods\u2019s \u201cCome Softly to Me,\u201d and Sylvia Moy, who produced Motown acts and worked with Stevie Wonder. Ellie Greenwich co-wrote and co-produced hits like \u201cChapel of Love\u201d and \u201cLeader of the Pack.\u201d Sylvia Robinson, known as the \u201cgodmother of hip-hop,\u201d started Sugar Hill Records, which put out the seminal track \u201cRapper\u2019s Delight\u201d in 1979.\nIt is important to note that, despite the challenges, women have been producing music for decades.\nToday, prominent female producers include Sylvia Massy, Sally Browder, Leslie Ann Jones, and Kara DioGuardi. There\u2019s the rapper Missy Elliott, who has built a well-regarded career as a producer; Linda Perry from 4 Non Blondes, who has worked with artists like Pink and Christina Aguilera; and Tokimonsta, a classically trained pianist who has worked with Kelly Rowland. Still younger rising stars include WondaGurl, a Canadian beatmaker who has been producing since she was 9 years old and who famously worked with Jay-Z when she was 16.\nThe impressive individual accomplishments of these women, however, don\u2019t change the overall systemic picture \u2014 the fact that list after list from music publications ranking top producers often don\u2019t include a single woman. Billboard\u2019s 2016 Power 100 list only has 14 women on it, with none in the top 10. No woman has won the Grammy for Producer of the Year (Non-Classical). In the award\u2019s 43-year history, there have been only six women nominees for that category: Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey, Paula Cole, Lauryn Hill, Sheryl Crow, and Lauren Christy, who worked with Liz Phair and Hilary Duff.\nAs the last set of examples suggests, when a woman is lauded for her producing skills, she\u2019s usually also a well-known performer. Men, on the other hand, are more likely to be touted for their musical technical prowess alone, according to several female engineers I spoke with. \u201cIt\u2019s always a sexy woman performing ... a sexy woman singing who\u2019s produced by an amazing man behind the glass,\u201d says Leslie Gaston-Bird, the AES vice president for western USA/Canada. \u201cEven Bj\u00f6rk had to come out and say, \u2018I produce my own stuff. ... I just happened to work with a man.\u2019\u201d\nWomen in audio deal with unique challenges that come from working within a cross-section of two traditionally male-dominated fields. Because of the technical nature of their jobs, they experience issues similar to those many women in STEM \u2014 science, technology, engineering, and math\u2014face, such as struggling for respect and being second-guessed by their peers. On top of that are the added pressures of the competitive and fickle music industry.\nList after list from music publications ranking top producers often don\u2019t include a single woman.\nHistorically, audio engineering has relied on apprenticeships: An established engineer will find a younger person with potential and interest, take him under his wing, and teach him the job. Such mentorships foster loyalty but can also end up shutting women out of the field. \u201c[The apprenticeship model] gives young women a challenge because it\u2019s less likely that an older [male] engineer is going to see himself in a young woman,\u201d says Susan Rogers, a professor at Berklee College of Music who was also the sound engineer on Prince\u2019s Purple Rain. \u201cSo it\u2019s another barrier of entry.\u201d\nSince training an engineer from scratch is a lot of work, the industry is increasingly turning to colleges to teach audio professionals. Which brings up another possible reason for the lack of female producers: Women don\u2019t take as many music-engineering classes. At Berklee, for example, only 15 to 20 percent of students in engineering classes are women, Rogers says. According to an AES convention paper presented in 2016, male students regularly outnumbered female students 5 to 1 at the Recording Engineers Institute in New York, while the University of Colorado\u2019s Recording Arts Program reported typically seeing no more than six female applicants out of the 50 to 75 who apply every year.\nIt\u2019s possible, too, that women aren\u2019t going into audio because they don\u2019t know these careers exist. When Gaston-Bird interviewed women in the industry about their careers, she found that the majority learned about their jobs by accident, by going to shows and talking to people who work with bands. (This awareness problem, to be fair, can apply to men as well.) But this still doesn\u2019t explain why, when women do know about audio engineering, they tend to choose other career paths in music instead.\nWhile there are few studies on the issue, the little data there is suggests this disparity starts young. In 2014, researchers at the University of Colorado, led by Gaston-Bird, asked 36 students (18 male, 18 female) at a Denver secondary school what music-related careers they were interested in. The results were divided along gender lines between technical and nontechnical careers. While both groups wanted to be artists, the girls were also interested in being sound designers, music therapists, songwriters, teachers, and composers. The boys wanted to work in sound design and mixing, electronic-music programming, audio software design, producing, and recording engineering.\nTerri Winston, the executive director of WAM, says she believes women don\u2019t go into audio partly because of how young girls are first exposed to technology. When women don\u2019t play with tools or learn to build things as children, they can lack interest or confidence in using those skills as adults. \u201cIt\u2019s not just our industry,\u201d Winston tells me. \u201cWe have a very serious problem in this country in how we socialize women in technology and in leadership positions in general.\u201d\nWinston herself got to dodge this particular roadblock: Her father was a mechanical engineer who encouraged her to tinker with his equipment when she was growing up. At WAM, she tries to foster a similar sense of curiosity by exposing her students to different audio technologies in the \u201chope something sticks.\u201d So far, it has: In 14 years, WAM has placed more than 400 women in sound-related jobs with companies like Dolby Laboratories, Pixar, Google, and Electronic Arts.\nOnce women secure jobs in audio, they can still grapple with sexist remarks, condescension, and unfair performance standards \u2014 as a recent discussion on the AES Facebook page illuminates. \u201cThis last 3 years I\u2019ve spent designing and building a recording studio from scratch, and not a day has gone by where I haven\u2019t experienced sexism,\u201d one poster wrote. \u201cI waste so much of my time on proving myself in ways that the men around me are never challenged on,\u201d another said.\nEmily Lazar is a mastering engineer who has been nominated for three Grammys and has worked with thousands of musicians, including Sia, David Bowie, and Bj\u00f6rk. In an email, she explains that when she was coming up in her field in the \u201990s she had few options for dealing with sexism at work. \u201cIf you did not just go along with a lot of the behavior, you would at least be excluded from sessions and your position threatened,\u201d Lazar says. \u201cI think the overt behavior has improved as of late. However, the underlying bias is still very much evident.\u201d\nDifficulties that women face in other jobs are only amplified in a heavily gender-skewed field like audio. Getting pregnant and having children can come with career-defining consequences. The hours are long and unpredictable, which can take a toll on family life, and there\u2019s a constant pressure to stay relevant: In the competitive music world, even a brief hiatus can open the door for someone else to take your job. \u201cThere\u2019s no taking time off and saying, \u2018Here\u2019s my replacement,\u2019\u201d says the sound engineer Shani Gandhi, who at 29 has already won a Grammy for Best Folk Album as engineer on Sarah Jarosz\u2019s album Undercurrent.\u201cIf you don\u2019t work, you\u2019re not making money.\u201d This lack of stability makes it even more financially risky to have a family. Most audio professionals are self-employed, which means health care comes out-of-pocket, and there are no benefits like paid maternity leave.\nMost audio professionals are self-employed, which means health care comes out-of-pocket, and there are no benefits like paid maternity leave.\nTechnological changes have eased some of the pressure on this front. As with other fields, women working in audio in the 1970s and \u201980s often felt they had to choose between careers and family. According to Rogers, during that period the recording tools were hardware-based, which, combined with expensive studio time, meant everyone involved in making the album had to keep working on-site until it was finished. Now the recording technology is usually on a laptop that can be paused when needed, and studios are often at home, which offers women more flexibility. However, issues like childcare still remain a challenge.\nWhile the music industry has long ignored how few women work in audio, there are glimmers that things may be starting to change, from the newly formed Diversity and Inclusion Committee at AES to the continuing success of WAM to the rapidly growing SoundGirls.org. Trina Shoemaker, who has been a music producer and sound engineer for 23 years, says she\u2019s optimistic about the industry\u2019s future because, compared to when she was coming up, more women are seeking careers in audio. They just don\u2019t have visibility yet, she adds, because it can take so long to become successful \u2014 a decade to learn the skills and another decade to master them. \u201cThere\u2019s usually a 20- to 25-year period of time when women enter a field before they become proficient, and then the equalization happens,\u201d Shoemaker says. \u201cWith audio, women started entering the field in the \u201970s and \u201980s. Now we\u2019re in the 2010s, and there are quite a lot of women.\u201d\nAt the SoundGirl\u2019s camp in Nevada City, it\u2019s striking how inspired the girls seem to be by learning audio technologies. Siena Bratt, 17, says working the analog soundboard \u201cmakes me feel like a badass.\u201d As a burgeoning musician, she didn\u2019t know before attending the camp how much control the engineer has over how the music sounds when it reaches the audience. \u201cYou really have all the power,\u201d Bratt says. \u201cAnd that\u2019s incredible to me.\u201d\nThis story originally appeared on TheAtlantic.com.\nMore from The Atlantic: Why Do Women Bully Each Other at Work?, A Dinosaur So Well Preserved, It Looks Like a Statue\nWomen Music Tech",

I would like to use Python as I find it much easier to read and write; plus I've been coding in Python for a lot longer than I have in Java.\nSo if we can write the IA in any language, does it say that anywhere in the guide?\nYes, a friend of mine did hers in Python.

        "raw_content": "Israel-Gaza Conflict: MPs Set to Vote to Recognise Palestine State\nPro-Plaestine demonstrators gather outside the Houses of Parliament Getty\nMPs are set to back an historic poll calling for the British government to recognise Palestine as a state for the first time.\nPoliticians from all political parties look set to favour the motion that the government should recognise the state of Palestine alongside the State of Israel.\nMPs are set to debate the vote in the House of Commons on 13 October. Britain abstained from a vote regarding Palestine at the UN general assembly in 2012.\nLabour MPs especially are likely to approve the idea after being called to do so by party leader Ed Miliband.\nHowever, the vote will only be seen as symbolic and the government would not be bound to apply it as its official position is to support talks for a two-state solution. Ministers are expected to abstain from voting.\nBritain's current stance on Palestine is that it reserves the right to recognise it as a state \"bilaterally at a moment of our choosing and when it can best help bring about peace\", according to former Foreign Secretary, William Hague.\nThe motion was put forward by Grahame Morris, the Labour MP for Easington, who said the international community has \"cruelly refused\" the Palestinian people the right to be recognised as a state.\nHe added: \"The two-state solution has been Britain's stated policy aim for decades, but in politics talk often comes cheap.\n\"So far the government's support for a two-state solution has been in rhetoric only.\n\"Not only is statehood the undeniable right of the Palestinian people but only an independent and sovereign Palestinian state can save any hope of a two-state solution.\"\nThe vote arrived after Sweden became the first major EU country to recognise Palestine as a state \u2013 a decision which was met with fury by Israel.\nNot all Labour MPs are expected to support the motion despite the party whip. Two members of the Shadow Cabinet are officers of Labour Friends of Israel.\nThere was backbench division in the Labour party about Palestine following Miliband's public condemnation of a shelling of schools in Gaza.\nSome complained his comments on the crisis in Gaza were disproportionate after he said he could not \"explain, justify or defend the horrifying deaths\" of Palestinians at the hands of Israeli forces.\nGuto Bebb, Tory MP for Aberconwy, has also said he will be opposing the motion.\n\"The motion is completely contrary to UK Government policy,\" he said. \"How can you recognise a state when the borders have not been agreed? This is profoundly unhelpful to the peace process.\"\nDouglas Alexander, Labour's shadow foreign secretary, said the motion is compatible with Labour's current stance on Palestine.\nHe said: \"Labour's consistent support for the principle of recognising Palestinian statehood, as part of continuing steps to achieve a comprehensive negotiated two-state solution, is why we will be voting to support the principle of Palestinian statehood when the House of Commons debates the issue.\"\nIsrael Summons Sweden Ambassador Over Decision to Recognise Palestinian State\nPalestine\\'s Unity Government Visits Gaza to Mark End of Hamas Control\nInside Israel: Tel Aviv Counts the Economic Cost of Gaza War\nIsrael and Palestinian Authority Reach Deal on Rebuilding Gaza, UN Says",

        "raw_content": "How a Low-Cost, Portable Device Sheds Light on Better Neonatal Care\nYou might wonder, then, why infants still suffer from the effects of jaundice, even with such a supposedly simple treatment. It boils down to cost and ease-of-use.\nIf Vivek Kopparthi had his way, each community in developing countries around the world would have one of his devices. The co-founder and CEO of NeoLight, an Arizona-based healthcare startup, believes his company's backpack-sized device can significantly improve the survival rates of infants, particularly those who are afflicted with jaundice.\nThe concept behind this startup is strikingly straightforward. The treatment involves phototherapy, which basically uses targeted amounts of light to break down excess bilirubin molecules into water-soluble isomers that are then safely excreted by the body.\n\"Conventional phototherapy devices are very expensive, and these can be difficult to maintain and operate,\" says Kopparthi, stressing the scarcity of such equipment, especially in low-income communities. \"In contrast, our device fits in a backpack, is relatively affordable, and can be used with minimal training.\"\nShining Light on Better Neonatal Care\nTo put things into context, in the United States alone, an estimated 50 percent of term infants develop jaundice, and this figure rises to 80 percent among pre-term infants. This figure varies across ethnicity and geography, however. Incidence is higher among Asians and American Indians, and lower in Africans, for example.\nOne complication of neonatal jaundice is kernicterus, which is caused by excess bilirubin in the blood, often due to untreated jaundice. It can can be fatal if untreated - an occurrence more common in countries with less-developed medical systems.\n\"Kernicterus is a form of brain damage caused by excessive jaundice,\" writes Dr. Steven M. Shapiro MD, a pediatric neurologist and medical researcher. \"The substance which causes jaundice, bilirubin, is so high that it can move out of the blood into brain tissue.\" He adds that aside from increased risk of death, this condition can also lead to cerebral palsy, hearing loss, vision problems, intellectual disabilities and more. \"Other forms of more subtle bilirubin-induced neurological damage may exist, including auditory processing problems, and other problems of sensorimotor integration.\"\nHospitals and healthcare facilities usually employ specialized phototherapy equipment that output light in certain regions of the spectrum. Traditionally, such equipment use either halogen lamps and compact fluorescent tubes (CFT). However, light-emitting diodes (LED) have become a more viable alternative, given its higher irradiance and the ease by which its wavelength and emission range can be controlled.\n\"LED light source phototherapy is efficacious in bringing down levels of serum total bilirubin at rates that are similar to phototherapy with conventional (compact fluorescent lamp/CFL or halogen) light sources,\" states a study by Praveen Kumar, Deepak Chawla and Ashok Deorari for the Cochrane Neonatal Group.\nThe most effective light for intensive phototherapy is in the 430 to 490 nm wavelength range--blue light delivered to the greatest body surface area as possible. NeoLight utilizes LEDs to achieve a spectral irradiance twice the required minimum, and within a narrow bandwidth of 440 to 480 nm, which makes for a very effective treatment against jaundice. Even better, the device is significantly more energy-efficient than a standard incubator, using 98 percent less electricity. It can even run on solar power, if necessary.\nThe most attractive thing about NeoLight is the production cost of $120, which is significantly lower than the $5,000 or more that larger phototherapy products would usually cost to build. It's also very inexpensive to maintain, as it does not require parts to be replaced.\nKopparthi, along with co-founders Chase Garrett, Sivakumar Palaniswamy and Deepak Krishnaraju--all Arizona State University graduates--have raised $600,000 in seed funding so far, which is earmarked for product development, manufacturing partnerships, product validation, and in facilitating steps for FDA clearance.\nKopparthi says that his company intends to distribute the device on a one-for-one model. \"Once we get FDA clearance to sell the device within the U.S., we plan to give a free unit to a deserving low-income community abroad, for every one we sell in the U.S. or Europe,\" he says.\nEach New Life Matters\nLED-based phototherapy is not exactly a new idea. The team finds itself in the company of D-Rev's Brilliance, and IOP's BiliLED, which both leverage the advantages of LED in phototherapy for jaundice. However, NeoLight's main difference is its price and delivery model. It is useful to note that BiliLED was an academe-initiated proof-of-concept launched a decade ago. Meanwhile, Brilliance retails at $400--more than thrice NeoLight's intended cost.\nMoreover, NeoLight's potential goes beyond treating jaundice. According to Kopparthi, other products are in the works, including a light-based treatment for hypothermia. If there's anything clear here, it's the power of the intent to change the world. \"We started our company with zero dollars and the dream of saving lives,\" he says.\n\"Apart from saving infants from the lack of access to affordable healthcare, we also feel obligated to educate people about the effects of conditions like jaundice. Each new life matters.\"",

        "raw_content": "I\u2019m sure many of you reading this remember the classic movie Vacation where Chevy Chase played the well meaning but inept family man, Clark Griswold. This week I\u2019m going to share a principle of influence with you then give you a great idea, something Clark Griswold probably didn\u2019t do but you can.\nDid you know most people are more motivated by what they stand to lose as opposed to what they might gain? That\u2019s right, people presented with the same opportunity will take you up on that opportunity more often when it\u2019s presented in terms of what they might lose rather than what they stand to gain or save. For example, talking about the money someone might save using your product will not be as big a motivator to buy the product as it would be if you told them how much money they\u2019ll lose if they don\u2019t buy it. \u201cMr. Customer, if you install our thermal sealed windows you\u2019ll save $300 on your electric bill over the next year,\u201d will not sell as many windows as, \u201cMr. Customer, if you don\u2019t use our thermal sealed windows you\u2019ll end up paying $300 more on your electric bill over the next year.\u201d It\u2019s really the same thing just stated in a different way.\nThis all goes back to a psychological principle of persuasion known as scarcity. We are motivated to action when we see something that\u2019s rare or when we believe something will suddenly become less available. It creates in us a greater desire for the thing that\u2019s perceived to be scarce. If you doubt that just think about how much we take people for granted until we lose them or fear we might lose them.\nOkay, so perhaps you\u2019re wondering, \u201cHow does scarcity tie into Vacation and Clark Griswold?\u201d As I write this we\u2019ve unofficially entered summer because we\u2019re into the first week of June. For those with families it means kids will soon be out of school and summer vacations are just around the corner. That also means many of you will leave work for a week or two in the coming months. You can tap into the scarcity principle to make your vacation a little more enjoyable, provide great customer service and possibly land (or prevent losing) some accounts.\nIn the past, before you\u2019ve left for vacation, have you ever contacted all of your customers a week in advance to let them know you\u2019d be gone? If you haven\u2019t don\u2019t feel bad because I\u2019m willing to bet 99.9% of people don\u2019t do that even though email and customer lists make it very easy to do. Most people simply tell co-workers they\u2019ll be gone, change their voicemail and turn on the out-of-office message. Think for a moment about what would happen if you took the extra time to contact your customers to let them know a week in advance that you\u2019ll be gone and when they can expect you back.\nDoing this allows you to tap into scarcity because I guarantee customers will call or email you very quickly saying something like, \u201cThanks for letting me know you\u2019d be gone because I really need to talk with you about\u2026\u201d\nYou may not have ever considered this before but you are a scarce resource because many people depend on you. If those people know you won\u2019t be around much longer that simple fact will change their behavior just like your behavior is changed when you hear or read, \u201cSale Ends Sunday\u201d or \u201cOnly While Supplies Last!\u201d\nWith those calls and emails come your opportunities to land new business and possibly prevent losing some. After all, if a customer needs you they might not want to talk with someone else in your absence. To them that could be the right time to give the other guy, the one who\u2019s begged for their business, a chance. But you can prevent that from happening!\nAnd here\u2019s another cool thing. When those people thank you, it\u2019s your chance to strengthen your personal brand so don\u2019t blow them off with something stupid like, \u201cNo problem\u201d or \u201cI\u2019d have done it for anyone.\u201d Both of those statements devalue what you\u2019ve just done for them.\nA better response would be, \u201cThat\u2019s part of the great service you can expect when you deal with me. Can I ask you a quick question? Don\u2019t your other suppliers (reps, agents, etc.) let you k\nnow in advance when they\u2019ll be gone and when they\u2019ll be back?\u201d The answer to that will be, \u201cNo, they don\u2019t.\u201d Bingo, you\u2019ve not bad mouthed the competition but you\u2019ve set yourself apart by comparing what you do to what your competitors don\u2019t do.\nMaybe if Clark Griswold had done this he would have been a little farther up the food chain at work and could have afforded some nicer vacations!\nhttps://www.influencepeople.biz/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/logo.png 0 0 Brian Ahearn, CMCT\u00ae https://www.influencepeople.biz/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/logo.png Brian Ahearn, CMCT\u00ae2009-06-01 22:30:002017-11-14 20:18:10What Chevy Chase Didn\u2019t Do Before Vacation\nAs a kid I remember my mom saying things come in threes. I don\u2019t know if there\u2019s any scientific validity to that but it always seemed like famous people died in sets of three. Right or wrong, superstition or coincidence, what my mom said stuck with me. So, when I recently noticed three similar things occurring in a relatively short period of time I thought I should write about it in this week\u2019s blog.\nWhat I\u2019m going to share might just help your next event be a little more successful, and a little better attended, because of the power of persuasion.\nA good friend asked me to review an invitation she was getting ready to send for an upcoming webinar. Part of the invitation read as follows:\n\u201cRegistration limited to only 20 organizational teams, and 4 teams have already signed up.\u201d\nMentioning the limited seating was good use of the principle of scarcity because people are motivated to act when things they want appear to be limited, rare or dwindling. The fact that only 20 teams would get to participate should motivate people to sign up rather quickly so they won\u2019t miss out on what could be a great learning opportunity.\nHowever, mentioning only four teams had signed up was working against my friend because it was not a motivator to sign up. In fact, it was a demotivator because it goes counter to another principle of influence known as consensus.\nConsensus is the name for the psychological principle that tells us people look to others when deciding what actions to take, especially when they\u2019re not quite sure what to do. With kids we call it \u201cpeer pressure\u201d but that same psychological pressure is at work on us as adults, too. If we see many people, or people similar to ourselves, doing something, we tend believe it\u2019s probably the right thing to do and quite often we go along with the crowd. If you don\u2019t believe that then ask yourself why you stood up last time there was a standing ovation for some event that really, you didn\u2019t particularly care for.\nConsensus can help motivate people to action but it can also work in reverse. If we don\u2019t see many people doing something then we might not be inclined to do it either. For example, talking about what a shame it is that so many people don\u2019t vote only legitimizes not voting in the minds of many people. As far as my friend\u2019s invitation, although four registered teams before the official invitation went out was a good thing, my advice was to change the wording, or remove it altogether, because people receiving the invitation might see that as a lack of participation and decide not to sign up.\nAt the beginning of this week\u2019s posting I said three things came to my attention so here are the other two. These were also invitations to public events but they differed slightly from the previous example. When I went to sign up for these events there was a section at the bottom of each registration page with a list of attendees. Because I went to the registration sites as soon as I got the email invitations I noticed there were no attendees listed on either Web page. Falling back on my understanding of consensus I knew that was not going to motivate anyone to sign up and could actually be a deterrent.\nAs I\u2019ve been writing this I just saw another invitation, this for a networking event, and 53 were signed up to attend and another 21 were interested. Those numbers will most likely entice others to join the crowd.\nConsider this for just a moment; what would you think if you went to register for some event you thought was going to be a big deal but only saw a couple of people on the guest list? You might not feel the event will be worth your time. So here\u2019s my suggestion; if you use Web sites that allow you to show people who\u2019ve registered, don\u2019t show the list until some critical mass is achieved. Otherwise it will probably work against you. Doing this might just make your next event the one everybody wants to attend!\nI welcome your feedback so click on the comments link below and let me know what you thought of this week\u2019s article.\nWith influence we\u2019re focusing on Powerful Everyday Opportunities to Persuade that are Lasting and Ethical. How exactly can we do that? My wife and I are going on a cruise this week so I can share a couple of real examples from cruises we went on in the past.\nMany years ago while cruising we had a full day at sea which meant all the action was going to be poolside that day. Knowing that, we arrived at the pool early so we could get couple of lounge chairs and save a few seats for some fellow State Auto employees. Success was ours as we landed several lounge chairs right next to the pool!\nLate morning we decided to go play a bingo ticket because it was potentially worth $5000. The odds of winning were slim but scarcity, the fear of losing out on the chance for the big prize, motivated us to go to the bingo area and play the odds.\nWe were gone approximately 30-45 minutes and when we got back to the pool, low and behold, people were laying on our chairs! I politely asked them to move because they were sitting in our chairs but they refused. I reminded them the clothes, books and other items they\u2019d put at the foot of the chairs were ours and they were obvious indicators the chairs were being used.\nThey refused to move and the young pool attendant would not help us out because he said we\u2019d been gone more than 30 minutes. Without going into more detail, suffice it to say, the exchange that took place about the loss of the poolside chairs pretty much ruined our afternoon.\nSo what\u2019s this have to do with persuasion? Plenty, because after learning about persuasion we were able to avoid a repeat performance. The following year we were facing the same situation, a day at sea which meant another early trip to the pool. As we enjoyed the morning a young couple took one of the last lounge chairs available which happened to be next to us. While the wife leisurely stretched out and enjoyed the sun her husband was relegated to sitting at the foot of the lounger as he read his book.\nWhen lunch rolled around we wanted to go to the schooner lounge to eat. Leary of coming back to no chairs I turned to the young couple as asked, \u201cWould you mind watching our things because we want to grab some lunch?\u201d As any nice couple would, they agreed.\nBecause I understood the psychology of persuasion I knew I\u2019d tapped into something called consistency. Consistency is the psychological pressure we all feel when it comes to our words and deeds. When we give our word we feel good about ourselves when we keep it. How do you think that young couple would have felt if we\u2019d come back to find strangers sunning on our chairs? If they\u2019re like most people they\u2019d feel bad. I was banking on the fact that no one wants to feel that way and it would prompt them to take appropriate actions to ensure the chairs were waiting for us when we returned.\nAfter they agreed to watch our chairs I told the young man he was welcome to stretch out on one of our chairs while we were gone, which he was eager to do. Now that I\u2019d given him something I\u2019d engaged reciprocity, the psychological principle where we feel obligated to give back to someone who\u2019s given us something. Because I\u2019d given him use of our chairs I knew he\u2019d be even more likely make sure no one tried to take our place.\nI got a double whammy for my efforts because I engaged consistency and reciprocity. What you\u2019ll find is quite often it\u2019s possible to bring multiple influence principles to bear in a situation and when you can do so it significantly increases the odds of hearing someone say \u201cYes\u201d when you make a request.\nAs you might expect, we enjoyed our lunch and returned to the pool later to find our lounge chairs waiting for us which made for a great afternoon! These are the types of real world application I plan to share as you continue this persuasion journey with me. I welcome your feedback so just click on the comments link below to let me know what you thought of this week\u2019s article.\nScarcity boils down to this for most people \u2014 if I can\u2019t have it, then I want it! If something is scarce that means it\u2019s not plentiful and usually difficult to come by. It\u2019s amazing how people respond differently when they suddenly know something they want is in short supply or may not be around for long.\nIf you\u2019ve raised kids then you\u2019ve definitely seen this principle at work. Just tell your child what toy they can\u2019t have and suddenly it\u2019s the only toy they want to play with! Or tell them what they can\u2019t do and that\u2019s all they\u2019ll want to do!\nAs you read the following, answer the questions based on your personal experience:\nHave you hurried out to a store because you heard the sale ends Sunday?\nDid you ever buy a Disney DVD for your kids because \u201csoon it will go back into the\nDisney vault?\u201d\nHave you ever bought something for your home (roof, gutters, siding, paint) because the salesman said you can save 10%, if you signed right then?\nDo you buy gas now when the price hits $2.25 because you think it will go to $2.50 (or higher) over the weekend?\nHave you ever bought something on the Home Shopping Network because the little clock on the screen was ticking away?\nIf you answered \u201cyes\u201d to any of those questions then scarcity was influencing your decisions. It\u2019s natural for us to hurry and make decisions because the thing we want is becoming less available or is in short supply.\nResearch on this subject lets us in on something else important. People are generally more motivated by knowing what they stand to lose as opposed to what they stand to gain. For example, saying, \u201cIf you choose not to buy our product, you will lose $500 dollars a year\u201d will motivate more people to buy the product than will be motivated by saying, \u201cIf you buy our product you will save $500 a year.\u201d If you know you\u2019ll have more success using the first sentence, wouldn\u2019t you want to do so?\nNow you have a brief overview of the scarcity principle.",

        "raw_content": "Dax Shephard \u2018Wasn\u2019t Certain\u2019 He Wanted To Be With Kristen Bell\nDax is getting very candid about the early days of his relationship with now-wife Kristen Bell.\nThough Dax Shepard and wife Kristen Bell may appear to have the perfect fairytale romance now, it turns out it wasn\u2019t always that way for Dax. In a new interview with Off Camera With Sam Jones, the actor admitted that he actually wasn\u2019t too worried about losing Kristen early on in their relationship and wasn\u2019t even sure for a while that he wanted to be with her at all.\nSpeaking about the uncertainty he felt toward his now-wife early on in their romance, Shepard said, per a report from Entertainment Tonight, that he \u201cnever ever was like, \u2018Oh, I hope I can keep Kristen'\u201d when they started dating.\nInstead, he admitted that he questioned his decision to get serious with her. \u201cI was going, \u2018Do I want to be with a Christian, who has eight people living in her house for free, who has to get out of a car when there\u2019s a dog who doesn\u2019t have a leash and ruin her whole day to rescue this dog?'\u201d he recalled.\n\u201cThat\u2019s great, and she\u2019s good, but that\u2019s not what I want to do. I\u2019m not that good,\u201d he then continued during the very candid chat about his feelings early on in his relationship with the Frozen star. \u201cI don\u2019t want to spend my day finding the owner of a dog.\u201d\nDax then added that he actually \u201cwasn\u2019t fearful\u201d that things wouldn\u2019t work out with Kristen, adding, \u201cI wasn\u2019t certain I wanted to be with someone like that.\u201d\nHowever, he admitted during the candid chat that he did later realize how special Bell is and decided to change his approach to dating.\n\u201cI made a real conscious decision that I wasn\u2019t going to try to make her into the person I wanted to date,\u201d Shepard said, admitting that when he\u2019d done that in the past, he didn\u2019t exactly end up liking that person.\nFortunately, everything ended up working out pretty well for the couple \u2013 despite Dax\u2019s initial reservations \u2013 as the twosome will be celebrating six years of marriage this year.\nThe couple first started dating in late 2007 and then got engaged three years later in 2010, but, as reported by Celebuzz, they announced shortly after their engagement that they would be waiting until same-sex marriage was legal in the state of California before they get married themselves.\nAfter the law was eventually passed in the state, Bell and Shephard tied the knot in a very low-key ceremony in October 2013. They also have two children together: daughters 4-year-old Delta and 5-year-old Lincoln.\nThere was a younger Dax and an older Kristen at the Olympics. See the resemb? #olympics #decadeapartdopplegangers Photo credit: @darcycarden\nA post shared by Dax Shepard (@daxshepard) on Feb 22, 2018 at 10:23pm PST\nThough the couple tends to keep their family life with their daughters under the radar and away from the spotlight, as the Inquisitr reported back in August, Bell did give fans a rare look at life as parents as their eldest daughter headed to school.\nKristen shared an adorable rare photo of her daughter on her Instagram page which showed herself and Dax taking Lincoln to her first week of kindergarten. The family sweetly all held hands as they walked to school together, while little Lincoln had a big backpack on her back.",

        "raw_content": "NBA Rumors: Lakers Inquired About Pistons Guard Reggie Bullock, Per \u2018Los Angeles Times\u2019\nAmid all the rumors swirling around the Los Angeles Lakers and their pursuit of New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Anthony Davis, the team appears to be quietly working on other ways to improve their roster ahead of the February 7 trade deadline. Previous reports suggested that the Lakers are hoping to acquire a skilled outside shooter before the deadline, and the latest rumors suggest that one of those players could be Detroit Pistons shooting guard Reggie Bullock.\nCiting tweets from Los Angeles Times basketball reporters Tania Ganguli and Brad Turner, Silver Screen and Roll reported on Saturday that the Lakers are among the teams interested in trading for the 27-year-old Bullock, who is currently on the last year of a contract that will pay him $2.5 million this season. While Turner noted in his tweet that the Lakers are pursuing Bullock because of his ability to shoot from long range, Ganguli stressed that the Pistons \u201c[haven\u2019t] been very interested\u201d in trading him for what other teams, the Lakers included, have offered thus far.\nWhile he may likely be a role player in a LeBron James-led Lakers team with several promising youngsters, Silver Screen and Roll opined that Reggie Bullock could address a weakness for the team, as the Lakers\u2019 33.7 percent shooting clip from three-point range puts them at 27th out of 30 teams in the NBA. Per Basketball Reference, Bullock is averaging 11.8 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 2.5 assists for the Pistons, while shooting 40.3 percent from the field, and 37.1 percent from three-point territory.\nThe Lakers have reportedly reached out to the Pistons about possibly trading for Reggie Bullock. https://t.co/IPsYfVXPmf pic.twitter.com/Oa8wFWnpYk\nAs further explained by Silver Screen and Roll, the fact that the Detroit Pistons had trade exceptions that expired on January 29 could potentially force the Lakers to take another player, aside from Bullock, if they were to trade for him.\n\u201cFor example, a straight-up trade involving Michael Beasley and Reggie Bullock wouldn\u2019t work, but a trade including Beasley and Lance Stephenson for Bullock and Stanley Johnson would (under the rules, to say nothing of whether or not the Pistons would accept such an offer),\u201d the publication wrote.\nGiven that the Pistons don\u2019t appear to be willing to ship Bullock to another team at the moment, the Los Angeles Lakers might have a few other options in their search for an outside shooter. Previous rumors had suggested that the team is targeting shooting guards Wayne Ellington of the Miami Heat, and Terrence Ross from the Orlando Magic, while the New York Post reported earlier this week that the Lakers are still interested in 10-time All-Star Carmelo Anthony, who was recently cut by the Chicago Bulls.\nRegardless of which outside shooter the Lakers trade for, Silver Screen and Roll concluded by saying that such pre-trade deadline moves might be what Los Angeles will need to settle for in their quest for a playoff spot if they aren\u2019t able to trade for Anthony Davis.",

        "title": "Jabil Circuit, Inc. (JBL), BlackBerry Ltd (BBRY), Apple Inc. (AAPL): A Few Reasons Why This Stock Might Disappoint Next Week - Insider Monkey",
        "raw_content": "Jabil Circuit, Inc. (JBL), BlackBerry Ltd (BBRY), Apple Inc. (AAPL): A Few Reasons Why This Stock Might Disappoint Next Week\nElectronics manufacturing services provider Jabil Circuit, Inc. (NYSE:JBL) has been on a good run of late. Shares are up around 35% in the last five months even though the company has been issuing disappointing guidance figures.\nInvestors probably see its restructuring and cost cutting moves as positives. But with Jabil Circuit, Inc. (NYSE:JBL) scheduled to release its fourth-quarter earnings on Sept. 25, it would be prudent to check if the company has enough tailwinds to continue its momentum.\nJabil Circuit, Inc. (NYSE:JBL) is expected to post earnings of $0.54 per share on revenue of $4.53 billion. The expected revenue is 4.50% higher than last year\u2019s period, while earnings would be same as last year\u2019s period. Estimates have dropped considerably since Jabil\u2019s last earnings call and are now in line with the company\u2019s own outlook. Hence, Jabil shouldn\u2019t have much difficulty in at least meeting the estimates.\nEarnings will not be important since Jabil Circuit, Inc. (NYSE:JBL) is expected to beat the already low estimates. However, investors will be looking for concrete evidence that the business is improving and cost-cutting is helping margins.\nBut, a look at its three business segments sends out mixed signals. For instance, Jabil Circuit, Inc. (NYSE:JBL)\u2019s High Velocity business performed really well in the third quarter \u2014 with revenue increasing 23% from the prior-year period and the segment contributing 29% to overall revenue. This business should have improved 15% from last year\u2019s fourth quarter if Jabil\u2019s guidance is taken into account.\nHowever, High Velocity was riding on BlackBerry Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY)\u2018s latest phones. Jabil was selected as a \u201cgo forward partner\u201d for BlackBerry 10 in 2012. As the Canadian smartphone maker ramped up production and moved to launch the new devices, Jabil got a shot in the arm.\nBut, with BlackBerry Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY)\u2019s move at regaining its footing in the smartphone industry stuttering, a downbeat guidance from the High Velocity segment might be in the cards. Canaccord Genuity analyst Mike Walkley is of the opinion that sales of the BlackBerry 10 devices have been \u201cvery soft\u201d and \u201cweak.\u201d Even the QWERTY keyboard-toting Q10 hasn\u2019t clicked and it is rumored that T-Mobile has been removing BlackBerry Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY) 10 devices from its stores on account of poor sales.\nMoving on to the Diversified Manufacturing Services (DMS) business, the outlook over here might be upbeat. The segment accounts for 40% of overall revenue and has been boosted by the presence of Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) as a client. Jabil started manufacturing the casing for the iPhone 5 last year and probably in anticipation of further business from Apple, it acquired custom plastics manufacturer Nypro.\nNow, Nypro specializes in the health care, packaging, and consumer electronics sectors and it might be possible that Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) tapped Jabil for the iPhone 5C, which is \u201cunapologetically plastic.\u201d However, Apple hasn\u2019t released the pre-order numbers of the iPhone 5C, which it ideally does early Monday after the weekend when the device goes on pre-order.\nThis might be construed as an ominous sign. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) shares have retreated since the iPhone event took place last week and the lack of data from Cupertino might add to investors\u2019 worry further. For instance, the device was still available for pre-order on Apple\u2019s website as of this writing on Monday while last year, the iPhone 5 was sold out within an hour.\nApple Inc.

        "title": "Why You Should Buy a House When You Are Young - Petr Kolarsky",
        "raw_content": "You can either pay off your mortgage or you can pay of someone else\u2019s. You can pay someone else rent or you can have rental income. You can build your own equity or you can build someone else\u2019s equity.\nThese are are just a few things to think about as we break down a few more reasons why buying a house can be a very smart move for a young person.\nMany people might tell you not to buy real estate. Why? Because you have to come up with the money for a down payment, pay property taxes, and then there\u2019s the maintenance. Yes, buying a home can be a lot of work, but isn\u2019t anything worth having a lot of work? Buying a house might not be for everyone. However, the flip side to this argument is that buying real estate is a great investment, especially at a young age.\n8/10 millionaires own real estate. The numbers don\u2019t lie, that\u2019s 80%!\nIf you are looking to have a future with secure financial freedom, real estate is the place for you, my friend. Buying a home with the intent to rent it, you will be able to reduce your liabilities and increase your monthly cash flow. If you don\u2019t own a home, you are most likely renting. So on one hand, you could be helping someone else with their mortgage and equity or on the other hand, you could have others do that for you.\nStill not convinced? Let\u2019s look at a quick 10 reasons why buying a home when you\u2019re young is very beneficial for your financial future.\nMost of the time, people don\u2019t see real estate as an investment vehicle. That\u2019s probably why so many people rent instead of own. When you buy a house or an investment property as a young person, it makes a lot of sense because there is a good chance you\u2019re going to have to live with roommates anyways. If you rent, then you will have to pay your landlord. But if you buy, you can rent out rooms to your friends and pay nothing, while still paying off your mortgage.\nThe median, according to Trulia.com, for rent per month in Madison from May 23rd to June 22nd was $1,652. You can buy a home for less than that if you rent out the other bedrooms. There is a very good chance that those payments will cover your principal, interest, taxes, and insurance costs.\nNot only are you saving $1,500+ a month, but you\u2019re also receiving rental income as well that is paying off your mortgage. You are living for free! How many people your age or any age, can say that?\nHomes decrease and increase in value depending on the how the real estate market is doing. A home is still a great investment, especially when you are young. According to Trulia.com, a 2-4 bedroom home will appreciate at 4.5%-10.4% per year in Madison. Buying a home requires a plan. You\u2019ll need to run the numbers, know the market and make sure you\u2019re buying in the right neighborhood. I know this sounds like a lot of work, but that\u2019s what Realtors are for. They have the much needed experience and wisdom in when and how to buy a home.\nThe longer you own a home, the more it will appreciate year after year. That is why it is good to start young, because you\u2019ll be able to build the appreciation on your house earlier than most people.\nLet\u2019s say or in your twenties and you are looking to make some good investments. You can do this in a few different ways. One of those ways could be to invest your money in the stock market. If you invest $5,000 in the stock market and it gives you a 10% return, that means you made $500. Now, you could also invest your money in real estate. If you use that $5,000 on a down payment, you can afford a house that\u2019s $125,000 (4% down). If you make 10% on your investment, you just made $12,500.\nAs you can see, that\u2019s a total of $12,000 more in returns than if you invested your money in the stock market. It also will reduce your liabilities, build your equity and if you\u2019re renting out bedrooms you\u2019ll have an income as well! You can look at investing in real estate in many ways, but you can\u2019t deny that with a little bit of hard work and a strategy, you can have a substantial return on your investment.\n4. Automatic Savings Account\nDo you have trouble saving or a spending problem? A home is a forced savings account. It also gives you a way to save for retirement. You decided to buy a home for $200,000 and it appreciates 4.5% every year. After only 5 years, it will be worth $245,000. That\u2019s a profit of $45,000.\nThis is a great way to build your wealth. If you did this 10 times in your twenties, after 5 years you will have made a profit of $450,000. Now let\u2019s say you kept those properties for 30 years instead of 5. At 60 you will retiring on a little under $5 million if you buy 10 properties in your twenties.\nIt is important to keep in mind that there are still liabilities associated with home ownership. Nevertheless, a home is going to be your biggest asset, especially if you have trouble saving money.\nWhy have we been talking so much about equity? By definition, equity is the value of a property after the subtraction of the charges against it. Building your equity is very important because that\u2019s what you will be living on when you retire with your forced savings account. Starting to build your equity at a young age will allow you an earlier retirement.\nA lot of successful landlords don\u2019t work. They are able to live off of their real estate income while also using their forced savings account to save to retirement. Investing in rental properties will give you the ability to live more financially free and as a young person, you will be able to learn and earn using all these techniques.\nIf you make $1,000 a month in rental income, that is income. You\u2019re making $1000, no questions. It\u2019s crucial to understand that if you treat your home or rental properties like a business, then it is completely an asset. You are earning income and it is one of the best investments you can make. America is full of people who want to rent, so why not rent from you?\nRental income is also a great way to generate income without having to do too much. You will have to answer phone calls from tenants, maintain the home, among other requirements of a landlord. However, owning real estate is one of the best ways you can create this kind of \u201cpassive income\u201d. It will allow you the ability to live without having to \u201cwork\u201d if that\u2019s the route you decide to go.\nAs a young adult, you are probably full of ideas of how to express yourself. You can do this with your property! When you buy real estate, it gives you an opportunity to customize and construct what you are looking for. As a tenant, you would have to run things by your landlord, but if you are the landlord, you can make those decisions yourself. You can choose the upgrades, you can decorate the way you like and you can make any additions you want. You want a deck to be able to entertain your friends outside? Build it! Want a modern rustic interior? Get on Pinterest and do it yourself! The possibilities are endless!\nBuying and owning real estate when you are young will give you the opportunity to acquire new responsibilities, that you wouldn\u2019t otherwise have if you were renting. It will permit you to save money through paying your mortgage, obtaining income, and over time building the worth of your home should it appreciate. By making an investment like this, you can also begin to see the financial freedom it brings. If the future you could say some things about making a real estate investment, I\u2019m sure one of them would be, \u201cstart young!\u201d\n9. Understanding Finance\nMany people may think, that as a young person, you have no idea what it means to make a smart financial decision. However, you and I know both know they are wrong. Why else would you be reading this? Buying real estate is a great way to learn. Right now, it\u2019s easier for you to take some risks. When you grow older and settle down, you\u2019ll have a family and kids and your time is committed to other things in life that you didn\u2019t have when you were young.\nAs I stated before, 8 out of 10 millionaires own real estate. Being able to understand what they already know, comes with an education. One of the best ways to learn is to not be afraid to make some mistakes and maybe fail at first, especially when you are young and have the time/energy to do it. Don\u2019t be afraid. Take your financial future into your own hands and make some good concrete decisions.\n10. Availability of Time\nMany young people today don\u2019t want to invest in real estate because they don\u2019t have the time. Unfortunately, you\u2019re not going to have more time as you get older. In fact, you\u2019re going to have less time as you gain new responsibilities, such as a family and kids. So, this is an opportunity for you to rise above your generation and put in a few extra hours in order to have a more financially free future.\nA lot of time goes into buying real estate, but most of that time should be put in before you purchase a property. You need to research, educate yourself, understand how the market works, and where is a good place to buy and at what time. These hours that you put in before you buy, will be some of the most important. That is why it is very critical that you also invest in an experienced and trusted real estate agent.\nTake this time now, so you won\u2019t be trying to find it later when you have to take care of million other things.\nGo ask someone who is twenty or thirty years older than you what they think about investing in real estate now. Ask them if they would have bought real estate at a young age and I would guess that their answer would be yes.\nIn certain situations, it may not make sense to buy real estate. If you have any questions about buying real estate, don\u2019t hesitate to give me a call at (608) 575-6784 or email me at petr@integrityhomeagent.com. I would be extremely happy to give you some advice or even potentially become your integrity home agent.\n5 Reasons Why You Should Hire a Professional Realtor\tNext",

        "raw_content": "Biggest US pension funds \u2018must consider climate-related risks\u2019 [updated]\n3 September 2018By Gail Moss\nThe US state of California has passed a landmark bill requiring two of the country\u2019s biggest pension funds to consider \u201cclimate-related financial risk\u201d when making investment decisions.\nSenate Bill 964 was passed last week. It requires the California Public Employees\u2019 Retirement System (CalPERS) and the California State Teachers\u2019 Retirement System (CalSTRS) to identify climate risk in their portfolios and report on that risk to the public and to the legislature every three years. The first report is due before 2020.\nThe two funds \u2013 which oversee $590bn (\u20ac508bn) between them \u2013 must also report their progress towards meeting the goals of the 2015 Paris agreement on climate change, as well as California climate policy goals.\nThey should also include a summary of engagement activities undertaken by the pension funds in connection with climate-related financial risks.\nThe bill was the first of its kind passed in the US, according to campaign group and co-sponsor of the bill Fossil Free California, and provided a statutory definition of climate-related financial risk.\nUnder the state\u2019s new definition, climate-related risks include material financial risk posed to the fund by the effects of the changing climate. These included intense storms, rising sea levels, higher global temperatures, and economic damages from carbon emissions.\nThe bill also covered other financial and transition risks emanating from public policies to address climate change, shifting consumer attitudes, and the changing economics of traditional carbon-intense industries.\nThe bill must get the approval of California governor Jerry Brown before it can become law.\nFossil Free California, which campaigns to end financial support for fossil fuels, co-sponsored the bill with environmental advocacy organisation Environment California.\n\u201cThe risk the changing climate poses to the solvency of large institutional investors, including pension funds and insurance companies, is both inevitable and unpredictable,\u201d said Janet Cox, director at Fossil Free California. \u201cFund beneficiaries need and deserve the peace of mind that comes from knowing their future security is protected from that risk.\u201d\nCalPERS and CalSTRS are actively involved in a number of climate change initiatives, including Ceres and the Investor Network on Climate Risk.\nMost recently, both funds were part of a coalition of investors voting for improved governance at Rio Tinto\u2019s annual general meeting, relating to the company\u2019s membership of lobbying organisations in relation to climate change \u2013 although this resolution was defeated.\nHowever, both CalPERS and CalSTRS slipped down the Asset Owners Disclosure Project\u2019s 2017 ranking of investors\u2019 climate risk management. CalPERS was ranked 28th out of more than 300 pension funds, 19 places lower than a year before.\nInvestors in Europe and the UK are also facing legislation over climate change and sustainability investment issues.\nThis article was updated on 6 September to remove a reference to the California pension funds reporting on their portfolio carbon footprints, as this was not a feature of Senate Bill 964.\nAsset Owner Disclosure Project,\nAODP,\nCalSTRS,\nInvestors \u2018remiss\u2019 in overlooking physical climate risks \u2013 Schroders\nClimate change roundup: Investor climate action initiative expands\nABB pension chief Bourqui to join CalPERS",

        "title": "Asia's New Tiger - iproperty.com.sg",
        "raw_content": "Asia\u2019s New Tiger\nThe property market in Cambodia is looking up. Experts are predicting that the time is ripe for investing in it.\nHong Kong and Singapore are too expensive, while the current market situations in Laos and Myanmar leave much to be desired; compared to its regional neighbours, Cambodia is the frontier market that is starting to look much more enticing and is enjoying increased visibility on the radars of many foreign investors. Since the Asian Development Bank (ADB) released figures that predict a 7.5% economic growth for the country this year, investors have been flocking to Cambodia in search of opportunities. In line with this increase in interest, the ADB has recommended that the rising Southeast Asian country focus its resources on building infrastructure, developing its workforce and implementing incentives that will encourage foreign investments.\nCambodia already has a lot going for it. As an immature market, it enjoys a low inflation rate, low debt to GDP ratio, and does not suffer from real estate driven bubbles. The last factor, in particular, makes the country a rarity in the region it is in. Citizens from the wealthier countries in the region, such as Hong Kong, China and Singapore, are always looking beyond their local shores for investment properties \u2013 and this over-enthusiasm of the property investors has created bubbles in several emerging markets. Take the Philippines, for example, where a mid-range condominium unit with mediocre fittings can easily go for about USD 200,000, a very high price considering the cost of living in the country. Cambodia\u2019s young market has not reached a similar point yet, and decent 600 sq ft apartments in good areas in Phnom Penh can be had for as little as USD 30,000 to 50,000.\nAlso a positive for Cambodia is the fact that its authorities are generally cooperative when granting developers permits and licenses, and foreigners are allowed full ownership of their businesses, contributing to a climate that is very receptive towards foreign investors. Indeed, the country\u2019s open-door policy towards foreign direct investment is a big factor in growing demand for its residential properties. Coupled with low rental rates and labour costs, it\u2019s no wonder the country is appealing to companies that are looking for a hinterland to set up shop overseas. With the movement of these companies into Cambodia comes demand for residential properties from relocated employees. Further contributing to this welcoming climate is the stable exchange rate, because the currency is pegged to the US dollar. Although it had previously been plagued by war and civil unrest, the country has recently settled into peace under prime minister Hun Sen \u2013 a real edge today, given the political woes its close competitor, Thailand has been suffering recently.\nSingaporean investors form one of Cambodia\u2019s biggest markets and it is not unusual for developers of condominiums in Cambodia to run property launches in the Lion City in an attempt to woo Singaporean buyers. La Vie Residences in Phnom Penh\u2019s Chroy Changvar area, for example, saw units snapped up by Singaporean investors during its first phase sale in March 2015. Axis Residences, another condominium development in the Cambodian capital, is also seeing good interest from Singaporean buyers. The country\u2019s laws make investing in its residential properties easy for foreigners. 70% of any strata development may be allocated to non-local buyers, as long as they are not on the ground floor \u2013 a rule that is hardly a deterrent because most apartments are not built on the ground floor anyway. Foreigners are also allowed to own 49% of any private property, as long as the other 51% of the shares are held by Cambodian citizens. Outside of Singapore, Cambodian properties also appear to appeal to Japanese, Hong Kong and Chinese buyers.\nIndeed, Phnom Penh\u2019s property market has grown by leaps and bounds in the past six years. From just 178 condominium units in 2009, the number soared to 2095 in 2014 and is estimated to rise to 9000 units spread out over the four years between 2015 and 2018. Overall, the supply of condominium units in Phnom Penh is estimated to increase by 533.75% by the end of 2018. There is definitely room for this exponential growth, evident when one observes the trend in neighbouring countries that have gone through the same boom previously \u2013 within the same period between 2009 and 2014, mid-town and downtown Bangkok saw an addition of 190,000 units, Ho Chi Minh City recorded over 57,000 units, and Hanoi more than 77,000 units. Condominium units currently see about 5 to 7% rental returns and capital growth of 5 to 7.5% per annum. It is not unusual for investors in centrally-located developments to see 30% capital gains from early off-plan purchases and this remains the main appeal for overseas property buyers and the driver of growth for the market.\nCambodia\u2019s market is not without its woes, of course. With the current boom, real estate has emerged to become one of the four main pillars supporting the country\u2019s growth, accounting for more than 10% of the GDP. However, rules and monitoring devices have yet to catch up, and the country may experience limited dealing mechanisms in times of trouble. A recent IMF report has recommended better data collection on sales and prices followed by limits on loan-to-value ratios once there is sufficient data. Insiders from the National Bank of Cambodia have indicated that although lending to construction real estate is growing rapidly, it is still relatively small when compared with the total loan portfolio. The bank is only concerned with developments that have been financed from within Cambodia, as those are the ones that will affect the economy if they fail. To collect data on the percentage of such projects, the bank is currently working with the National Institute of Statistics to conduct a survey on FDI.\nOverall, things are definitely looking up for Cambodia\u2019s real estate market. With an expanding middle class, rising incomes, and growing GDP, properties are likely to see great demand, not only from foreign investors but also from the domestic market. The recent implementation of the ASEAN Economic Community is also likely to drive interest and demand even further.",

Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink?\u201d They said to him, \u201cWe are able.\u201d 23 He said to them, \u201cYou will indeed drink my cup, but to sit at my right hand and at my left, this is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.\u201d\n24 When the ten heard it, they were angry with the two brothers. 25 But Jesus called them to him and said, \u201cYou know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones are tyrants over them. 26 It will not be so among you; but whoever wishes to be great among you must be your servant, 27 and whoever wishes to be first among you must be your slave; 28 just as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.\u201d\nThere is a new television series that doesn\u2019t air over the air or even on any of the cable or satellite channels. It\u2019s called \u201cReturning the Favor\u201d and it is shown on, of all things, Facebook. It features Mike Rowe, former host of \u201cDirty Jobs\u201d and the narrator of \u201cDeadliest Catch,\u201d who travels the country looking for \u201cdo-gooders\u201d (their term, not mine). Mike and his film crew interview them, and then usually leaves them a big check to help with their costs of \u201cdoing good.\u201d\nThe episode I watched Thursday had them in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania talking to Carol Stark, known locally as \u201cThe Crazy Lady.\u201d She got that nickname because Carol spends her time, and her money, working with the street kids in that county. She works with homeless teenagers, teenagers who have gotten into trouble with the law, ones who have gotten kicked out of school.\nAnd she doesn\u2019t just work with them, she teaches them to work. One student talked about how he got in trouble with the law and owed a $5,000 fine. He was homeless at the time and there was no way he was going to be able to pay the fine. Then Carol went to the judge and talked the judge into having the young man work community service instead of paying a fine. (Mike asked the young man how much community service offset a $5,000 fine, and the young man replied, \u201cA lot. A whole, whole lot.\u201d)\nCarol taught the young man how to work. He had never worked before in his life. She taught him the importance of work, the value of a job well done, and how work can develop self esteem and values.\nAnd that was just one teenager. Carol had helped so many teens in that community. Hundreds. No one else in that community cared about these teenagers, but Carol did.\nI bring up Carol as an example of service to others because we are continuing our sermon series \u201cUpside Down\u201d by looking at the topic of service today.\nToday\u2019s scripture from Matthew\u2019s Gospel intrigues me in a couple of aspects. The first is that the disciples were being so competitive at\u2026 well\u2026 being disciples. There was one-upmanship going on among the twelve, pushing and jockeying for positioning about who was better than who.\nIt\u2019s like elementary kids competing for who will be first in line. At Mini-Methodists on Wednesday the adult volunteers usually will alternate on who gets off of the bus or the people mover first. Last rows first, or first rows first. And the kids have figured this out, so when they get on the bus they choose their seats based on who they think will get off the bus first. (They hate it when I drive or ride because I will tell them \u201cthe middle\u201d or the opposite of what they are expecting.)\nWhy is it in our human nature to be so competitive? And you would think of all people that the disciples wouldn\u2019t have the problem, but they did.\nNow here\u2019s the thing I find humorous about today\u2019s scripture. James and John are the sons of Zebedee who leave their father\u2019s fishing boat to follow Jesus. Now it\u2019s not the disciples themselves who approach Jesus asking that they be selected as better disciples than all the rest, but it\u2019s their mother! It\u2019s their mom!\nThese are grown men and yet here comes mom (I can just see her tugging on James\u2019 earlobe to come on) asking Jesus to place her sons over the other disciples.\nWhat I wonder is if it was James and John\u2019s idea for mom to approach Jesus and ask him the question, or if it was mom\u2019s idea? Was she wanting a bumper sticker to put on her donkey that said \u201cMy sons sit at the right and left hand of Jesus.\u201d Was it her idea to do it so that she could have bragging rights about her kids?\nOr was it the brothers\u2019 idea to have mom approach Jesus and ask him because they were either two scared to do it themselves or thought that mom would increase their chances of being the \u201cchosen ones.\u201d\nThe great thing about the situation is Jesus\u2019 response. Now I often wonder if he did this: (show photo of Jesus doing a facepalm). We don\u2019t know if he rolled his eyes or did a facepalm or not, but we do know that his response was that the positions of prestige were not his to give, but his father\u2019s.\nWord gets back to the other 10 disciples about what ol\u2019 James and John tried to do, and as expected they get pretty ticked about it. But then Jesus uses the moment to do a little teaching. \u201c\u2026whoever wishes to be great among you must be your servant, and whoever wishes to be first among you must be your slave; just as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.\u201d\nThis had to be so upside down, so different from worldly thinking, the disciples had to go, \u201cSay what?\u201d\nIt\u2019s track season now. Jesus is saying that instead of giving the trophies and honors to the athletes that finish first, give it to the person that crosses the line last. Can you hear the announcer over the PA system, \u201c\u2026 And in last place in the 1500 meter dash, with a time of 2 hours, 13 minutes, and 43 seconds, John James from Zebedee High School.\u201d?\nIt doesn\u2019t make sense, does it? Not from our worldly thinking, no. But when it comes to serving others, it makes perfect sense in heavenly thinking.\nThe last shall be first. The meek will inherit the earth. The greatest will be a servant. The first will be a slave.\nJesus said he came \u201cnot to be served but to serve.\u201d As Christians, as followers of Jesus, as disciples of Jesus, we are called to do the same. We shouldn\u2019t seek to be served, but should seek to serve.\nMy late mom not only believed this but she also lived it. There were eight of us in the family (6 kids and 2 adults) so mom had to cook a lot of food. When we would have fried chicken she would cut up and fry three chickens. (For you young folks, chicken didn\u2019t always come already cut up.) Mom always chose what she called the \u201cboney\u201d pieces, the back and ribs and necks. She said it was because that\u2019s what she liked, but I\u2019m pretty sure she chose those so that her family could enjoy the more premium pieces of chicken. She put our needs before her own.\nAs Christians today, how are we living out servant leadership? How are we walking in the Jesus Way of seeking not to be served, but to serve? How many of us are sitting at the table waiting to eat instead of getting up, giving others our seats, and being servants and serving the Bread of Lifo to them?\nIt\u2019s hard to be a servant in today\u2019s world. We have become such a consumeristic society that even subconsciously we view the world in terms of what can benefit us, not how we can benefit others.\nIt has even infiltrated religion. We come to church with an attitude to get, not to give. We come looking to be fed, to see what we can get out of it, what\u2019s in it for \u201cme.\u201d When we do we miss that worship is giving to God and giving to others, and that it is through giving that we receive, that we are fed.\nWe look inward in the church, instead of looking outward toward those in our community who do not have a relationship with Jesus Christ.\nTo me on of the most beautiful acts Jesus did with his disciples is when he washed their feet. Found in the 13th chapter of John\u2019s gospel, this act of service is so humbling, so condescending and self-effacing, that it\u2019s hard for us to really wrap our minds around it.\nThe job of foot washing at that time in history was given to whoever was lowest on the social pecking order. Usually a slave or a servant, there was no prestige in washing the feet of people who wore sandals and walked around on gravel and dirt all day.\nAnd yet that\u2019s what Jesus himself does at the Last Supper. He washes the feet of his disciples, even the feet of Judas, the one he knows will betray him.\nAnd then he gives them this command: \u201cDo you know what I have done to you? You call me Teacher and Lord\u2014and you are right, for that is what I am. So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another\u2019s feet. For I have set you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you.\u201d\nServanthood. It\u2019s an integral part of being a Christian. Jesus came to be a servant, and was a servant. In the same way we should be servants, too.\nSo my challenge to you this week is to be a servant. Have a servant\u2019s heart like Jesus does. Have a servant heart like \u201cThe Crazy Lady\u201d Carol Stark of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. We are surrounded in our community by people who are hurting because they don\u2019t know the love that God has for them. Instead of being competitive about how good a Christian we are, like James and John (and their mother) did, let us seek to wash the feet of those in our community who do not know Jesus Christ. (Maybe not literally, but you know what I mean.)\n\u201c\u2026whoever wishes to be great among you must be your servant.\u201d\nhttps://www.jacksonvillemethodist.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/First-United-Methodist-Church-Jacksonville-TX-Logo.png 0 0 admin https://www.jacksonvillemethodist.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/First-United-Methodist-Church-Jacksonville-TX-Logo.png admin2018-03-18 12:04:062018-03-18 12:04:06Upside Down: \"Service\"",

        "raw_content": "A view of the lush greenery and oyster rafts in fishing villages in a photo taken March 8 from atop the Shima Kanko Hotel Bay Suites in Kashiko Island, Shima, Mie Prefecture, the site of the Ise-Shima Summit. | KYODO\nMie government touts 'omotenashi' spirit for Ise-Shima summit\nCenturies ago millions of pilgrims trekked to Japan\u2019s spiritual home in Mie Prefecture, especially to celebrate the cyclical dismantling and rebuilding of Ise Grand Shrine \u2014 the embodiment of Japanese shrines.\nAlong with being ranked among Japanese as the number one \u201cpower spot\u201d travel destination, or source of divine energy, the prefecture also enjoys a rich food culture, many historical sites, a robust industrial sector and bountiful nature.\nWith a little less than 2\u00bd months before the Ise-Shima Summit on May 26-27, there is little wonder why Mie Gov. Eikei Suzuki is ebullient: he is getting the opportunity to showcase the area\u2019s omotenashi \u2014 Japanese-style hospitality \u2014 to visitors making their own pilgrimage from across the globe.\nAside from Ise Grand Shrine, the gifts from the region are boundless, said Suzuki. But asked recently about what he hopes visitors coming to the G-7 summit will really enjoy there, food topped the list.\n\u201cWell, I\u2019d have to say the list is endless. But I really want people to taste our food,\u201d Suzuki told reporters at the Mie Prefectural Government Office ahead of a press tour organized by the Japan National Press Club in the buildup to the summit.\n\u201cFor example, most Japanese people know about Matsusaka beef, but around the world Kobe beef is still more famous. We want people to taste the foods of Mie and feel their allure,\u201d he said.\nThe exquisitely marbled Matsusaka beef from Mie is generally considered Japan\u2019s choice cut. The heifers raised in Matsusaka are fed beer to stimulate their appetite and receive regular massages with shochu, Japanese distilled liquor, before being slaughtered.\nExamples of some of Mie\u2019s other gourmand delights are the succulent grilled abalone, which ama female divers have been catching off the reefs of Toba and Shima for over 2,000 years, sweet and juicy Ise lobsters, red sea bream, rock oysters, Iga beef (a favorite of the Iga ninja clan), and flavorful, briny sea lettuce from the mouth of Ise Bay, to name a few.\nThe Chunansei region features historic ruins such as the Matsusaka Castle and Saiku, the palace of the Saio, an unmarried Imperial princess who was sent to serve as high priestess on behalf of the emperor at the Ise Grand Shrine.\nThe nearby Sakakibara hot spring, where Imperial princes would bathe themselves before paying respects at Ise Grand Shrine, is a historic site that appears in the 11th-century Japanese classic, \u201cThe Pillow Book.\u201d\nMie also boasts a thriving industrial sector with the likes of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd., bearings maker NTN Corp., and Toshiba Semiconductor and Storage Products Co., which operates the world\u2019s most advanced flash memory manufacturing plant in Yokkaichi for devices such as digital cameras, USB flash drives and video games.\nThe Kumano Kodo pilgrimage route known as Iseji, which worshippers once traveled on their way from Ise Grand Shrine to the three Kumano Sanzan shrines, is a World Heritage Site in the Kii mountain range. Sections of the cobblestone roads that wind through a cypress forest are believed to have been built as far back as the Kamakura Period (1185-1333).\nOther natural wonders include the fireflies that visit Sakakibara hot spring in early summer and the pristine Miya River, known for the lush vegetation along its embankments, which flows 91 kilometers through central Mie into Ise Bay.\nAmong the hot topics along with the opening of the new Aman Resorts luxury Amanemu hotel on Shima Peninsula on March 1, the governor is touting a nationwide research survey conducted by Mie in February, targeting men and women from their 20s to 50s that placed the prefecture first in four categories.\nOf the 1,750 people polled, more than 60 percent said Mie was famous for delicious beef, with Hyogo Prefecture \u2014 home to Kobe beef \u2014 a distant second at little over 30 percent.\nMie won hands down at nearly 50 percent for being known as the sacred ground of motor sports, most notably the Suzuka Circuit that hosts numerous Formula One Grand Prix races.\nAnd more than 35 percent of respondents said Mie\u2019s shrimp was the tastiest in Japan, with Hokkaido in second at a little over 25 percent.\nA third of those surveyed named Mie the No. 1 \u201cpower spot\u201d they wished to visit, with Kyoto coming in second at around 19 percent.\nNearly three-quarters of respondents knew that Mie will host the Ise-Shima Summit at Shima Kanko Hotel on Kashiko Island in May, featuring the leaders from Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United States. But those in their 20s were least aware at around 61 percent.\nMie is widely regarded as the home of the Japanese people and from where they derive their spiritual nature. Notably, British historian Arnold Toynbee wrote in the visitors\u2019 log of the Ise Grand Shrine in 1967, \u201cHere, in this holy place, I feel the underlying unity of all religions.\u201d\nDuring the Edo Period (1603-1868), millions of pilgrims traveled from rural areas, often walking for days to reach Ise Grand Shrine, where Amaterasu Omikami, a major deity of the Shinto religion believed to be an ancestral god of the Imperial family, is enshrined.\nThose weary travelers \u2014 many of them women and farmers \u2014 were warmly received by locals with generous offerings of food, drink and shelter. This is why Suzuki asserts the concept of omotenashi is rooted in Mie.\n\u201cIn places such as Nara and Kyoto there is tradition and culture you can see, but Mie offers the unseen heart and soul. That\u2019s what I want people to know about,\u201d Suzuki said.\nThe shrine, which currently has some 10 million visitors a year, came into existence around 2,000 years ago around the time of the birth of Jesus and its sanctuary has been traditionally dismantled and rebuilt every 20 years for over 1,300 years, Suzuki said. The renewal process called the Sengu started under Empress Jito circa 690.\n\u201cWhat happens there every day is Shinto religious services, but what we want to convey to those coming to the summit is the spiritual nature of the Japanese people, the architectural styles, the concept of the coexistence with nature, food, culture and things of this nature. I\u2019ve heard Prime Minister (Shinzo) Abe is very eager to have the heads of state visit there,\u201d Suzuki said.\nShinto transcends race, sex, generation, and religion while teaching tolerance of others, Suzuki said.\n\u201cFor example, at the summit we must be prepared for any threats from extremist groups like IS (Islamic State),\u201d Suzuki said, \u201cbut in a roundabout way, by bringing people together there to transcend race, religion, sex, and generation, this leads to world peace.\u201d\nMie, Ise-Shima Summit",

        "title": "State: save historic buildings | Jax Daily Record | Financial News & Daily Record - Jacksonville, Florida",
        "raw_content": "State: save historic buildings\nby: Bill Johnson\nThe State has weighed in on the issue of historic buildings versus Jacksonville\u2019s new library, and that considerable poundage seems to have come down on the side of history.\nIn a letter to Director of Planning and Development Jeannie Fewell, state historic preservation officers in the Florida Department of State said they \u201cstrongly encourage the City to use this opportunity to make a statement about Jacksonville\u2019s unique sense of place and role in Florida history by incorporating a part of its heritage into a library building that will well serve its citizens.\u201d\nThe letter is dated Aug. 24 and was stamped \u201creceived\u201d in the mayor\u2019s office Sept. 4, more than two weeks after Mayor John Delaney had already directed architects bidding for the library job to include just the facades of the old Rhodes furniture building and two LaRose buildings into their proposed designs.\nIn their original reply about incorporating the buildings into the design, the architects seemed mostly skeptical of total incorporation, although one said it could be done but at a considerable cost. One estimated that cost at more than $10 million.\nThe cost of incorporating the structures would likely come out of the $95 million designated for the new library, effectively detracting from what Delaney hopes will be world-class facility. The State, however, worded its response to suggest incorporating the whole structures into the library.\nThe State letter \u2014 written for State Historic Preservation Officer Janet Snyder Matthews by her deputy, Fred Gaske \u2014 said it was \u201cunfortunate that the design competitors did not have the benefit of the Division\u2019s comments going into the project. The agency suggests that the selection be based on an architectural plan that best incorporates all three of the historic buildings and meets the requirements of the library program.\u201d\nAnd, while none of the letter\u2019s language implied that the City is obliged to follow the state\u2019s suggestions, it did attribute its involvement to the \u201cProgrammatic Agreement (PA) for the Northside East Downtown Development of Regional Impact (DRI), signed May 1991 between the City of Jacksonville and the Division of Historical Resources ...\u201d Gaske added, \u201cAlthough there is no state agency monetary assistance, according to the PA, this agency has a mandate to review rehabilitation, demolition, or new construction activities related to the proposed library project.\u201d\nGaske noted the historic relevance of the three structures. The LaRose buildings \u2014 individually called the South Atlantic Investment building and the Buckman and Ulmer building \u2014 have been listed in the National Register of Historic Places, he said.\n\u201cThe Programmatic Agreement states in stipulation IV.1.c. that the Secretary of the Interior\u2019s Standards for Rehabilitation and Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings ... shall apply to the interior alterations to significant historic resources when there is state involvement,\u201d Gaske wrote. \u201cWe, therefore, strongly recommend that the historic interior features discussed in the National Register nominations for the Buckman and Ulmer and South Atlantic Investment Corporation buildings be retained as much as possible.\u201d\nBut, according to Delaney\u2019s directive to the architects, \u201cthe back (sides, roof and structural systems) of the buildings are to be demolished.\u201d Only the facades would remain.\nThe Rhodes building does not hold any formal historic designation only because its owners (right now, that\u2019s the City) haven\u2019t sought it. It has, however, been cited by Historic Preservation Planner Joel McEachin as being eligible for listing in the National Register and as being one of the few remaining examples of Chicago-style high-rise architecture left in Jacksonville. And, all three have been designated potential local landmarks by the Historic Preservation Commission.\nPart of the Rhodes building\u2019s historical significance can\u2019t be seen from the street. It is in the inner workings of the structure itself.\n\u201cThe massive interior structural columns of the Rhodes Building are highly significant aspects of the building\u2019s unique structural system and should be retained,\u201d Gaske wrote.\nThe mayor\u2019s directive, however, tells the architects to save only the facade, remove the other three walls, and \u201cUtilize as much of the entire remaining concrete slab and column system (structural system) as deemed appropriate and practical.\u201d\nGaske wrote that incompatibility between the existing structures and a library trying to incorporate them \u201cseems to be a non-issue.\u201d\nTo the architects vying for the design contract, not to mention the City\u2019s Library Board, it is a very real issue, especially if more than $10 million has to come out of library money in order to save three buildings that developer Preston Haskell has said are \u201cof marginal historic value.\u201d\nThe four architects finished their second set of workshops with City officials last week, although the meetings were closed to the public and the media and none of the architects\u2019 responses to Delaney\u2019s facade directive were released.\nMcEachin said the City will likely respond to the Gaske/Matthews letter and not just ignore the state\u2019s recommendations, but he said he did not know when that would occur.\nThe architects are to present their final proposed designs in late October.\nA&M football goal: 40,000 tickets sold",

        "title": "Sexuality and Women with Learning Disabilities",
        "raw_content": "Sexuality and Women with Learning Disabilities makes a significant contribution to both feminist and disability literature, because it challenges common assumptions about the sexuality of people with learning disabilities, forces a reconsideration of how this group of people are viewed by those around them and links gender and disability in its analysis.'\n-Tizard Learning Disability Review\n'By tackling issues that have received little meaningful attention, McCarthy both makes a valuable contribution to the literature and provides a useful practical guide to those wishing to support their clients more effectively.'\n- Mental Health and Learning Disabilities Care\n'The thoroughness and attention to detail with which McCarthy has investigated and written about the sexual lives of a small number of women with mild to moderate learning difficulties is to be commended. Drawing upon interviews with the women who participated in this study, there is explicit detail about the reality of their sexual lives that overall comes across as sad, poignant and often shocking, with a high level of sexual abuse revealed... however, McCarthy has a strong code of ethics and sensitivity and a reflexive honesty about her role and stance as a feminist researcher that removes any possibility or suggestion of prurient voyeurism or exploitation being a part of this research. McCarthy writes as a woman with and about women, allowing their voices about their sexual experiences to be heard through the medium of in-depth interviews. Within the book, the sexual experiences of women with learning disabilities are set in a wider policy and practice framework and discussed in relation to ideologies surrounding learning disability, gender and sexuality in a cultural context. The book ends with a chapter discussing and listing policy and practice recommendations, including suggestions about changes to the law... Overall, this was a convincing and compelling book that deserves serious attention and I would strongly recommend it to anyone with an interest in learning disability issues, including practitioners, carers, relatives, advocates and counsellors.'\n- CSPRD Newsletter\nIn this study of women with mild and moderate learning disabilities, Michelle McCarthy investigates how these women experience their sexual lives, basing her research on interviews with the women themselves. She argues the importance of informing the work of those responsible at research, practice and policy levels with the voices of people with learning disabilities. In the interviews, women talk openly about what form their sexual activity takes and what it means for them, the circumstances in which it occurs, and the pleasures (or lack thereof) associated with it. These interviews directly shape the policy and practice recommendations the author makes.\nMichelle McCarthy's findings suggest that women with learning disabilities commonly find themselves engaged in sexual activity which is not to their liking and not of their choosing. A high level of sexual abuse was also reported. The author discusses this in relation to the cultural forces which have influenced Western perceptions of sexuality, feminism and theories and prejudices about learning disabilities. She also studied the impact of institutional and community settings on the sexuality of women with learning disabilities. In Sexuality and Women with Learning Disabilities, McCarthy makes recommendations for policy and practice which will protect this vulnerable group, and advises on education, support and seeking justice for abused women.\nMichelle McCarthy's book is therefore particularly important, because it is a vehicle for a group of women with learning disabilities to tell us about their sexual lives. While it documents one study, it also draws on accumulated experience of sex education, counselling and research with women with learning disabilities. (McCarthy, 1994, 1998a and b; McCarthy & Thompson, 1995, 1996). This book is accessible and practical, and a useful resource for service providers, policy workers, researchers and families.\nSexuality and Women with Learning Disabilities makes a significant contribution to both feminist and disability literature, because it challenges common assumptions about the sexuality of people with learning disabilities, forces a reconsideration of how this group of people are viewed by those around them and links gender and disability in its analysis'.\n- Tizard Learning Disability Review\n'Michelle McCarthy's latest book feels very complete. It reflects her wealth of experience in working directly with service users in the area of sexuality and sex education and, while scholarly, it is eminently practical, combining, as it does, methodological rigour with great sensitivity and respect for the seventeen women with learning disabilities who are the subjects for her research\u2026 Sexuality and Women with Learning Disabilities is eminently readable, even by busy and exhausted practitioners. It will be of great value to managers and direct care workers supporting adults with learning disabilities in residential and day settings and to those undertaking sex education with children and adolescents with learning difficulties.'\n- Ann Craft Trust Bulletin\nBy (author): Michelle McCarthy",

Yeah, yeah, I know all about the law of attraction and how what you resist persists. I know how to breathe, how to look for things that make me feel better. I know that when I find anything to appreciate that helps too. I know how to tell a different story but for some reason I haven't been able to do any of these things long enough to get myself out of the state I'm in. And this drives me crazy!\nI guess one positive thing that comes from this is that I now have more compassion for those who live in this less than happy space. I know so many people who have been on or are currently on antidepressants. I used to be against them, then accepting of them and even glad that they were around to help people. But it never occurred to me that I'd ever think about taking them.\nSo, since I am not going to take pills to shift this I have to do it from the inside out. So, how will I do that? Hmmm, I just thought about a blog that I like a lot. It's http://dotellthegame.com/blog/ It's like reading my own beliefs written down. I just did it before writing this and found that I was able to take a deeper breath and relax. And soon I'm going to take a walk and listen to Abraham http://abraham-hicks.com That always breaks the spell for me.\nSo it's important to know that I do have tools to change how I feel. That if I'm focused and deliberate I can make a difference. And that what I have to share with others really does work, for them and for me.\nI will admit that is a very good place to be.\nabraham, abraham-hicks, antidepressant, appreciate, appreciation, compassion, depression, LAO, law of attraction",

        "raw_content": "Imaginary Futures: The Fight for Marriage Equality in Australia\nBy Michelle Dicinoski\nMemoir at Any Age: Reflections\nWhen I was a kid, I hated the idea of marriage. Marriage meant I would have to cook someone\u2019s tea every night, wash his clothes, share a bed \u2013 all of which seemed like a lot of work. Second-wave feminism had shaken things up in the world, but my household, in Rockhampton in the 1980s, was yet to feel the effects of the tsunami. We were the first people in our street to get a microwave, but it would be years before my dad could use it.\nMarriage didn\u2019t seem to be a transition, or a rite of passage. It seemed to mark only an endless repetition of how things were: women doing women\u2019s work, men doing men\u2019s work, and life going on with a kind of inevitability. As a child, I didn\u2019t know what I wanted for my future, but I knew that wasn\u2019t it. If I could somehow have glimpsed the future, and seen myself marrying a woman, I might have fallen from my tree house in surprise.\nMarriage equality has made some remarkable advances over the past year. The United States\u2019 Supreme Court struck down the Defence of Marriage Act (DOMA), which had enshrined unequal treatment for same-sex couples in regard to federal matters. In France, same-sex marriage was legalised \u2013 despite violent clashes between supporters and opponents. Closer to home, New Zealand\u2019s parliament also legalised gay marriage before bursting spontaneously into a Maori love song in what must have been one of the most genuinely moving scenes in political life anywhere in recent times.\nIn Australia in 2013, despite high levels of public support for same-sex marriage, and social media campaigns urging people to be on \u2018the right side of history\u2019, the law remains unchanged. As I write this, the federal election is fast approaching. Kevin Rudd has promised to introduce a marriage equality bill within a hundred days if he\u2019s re- elected, while Tony Abbott remains in opposition to marriage reform, despite his lesbian sister strongly advocating for change. Abbott says he wants to focus on \u2018bread and butter issues.\u2019 For me, and for the millions of Australians who want the chance to marry \u2013 or to see their sons and daughters or brothers and sisters marry \u2013 this is a bread-and-butter issue. What could be more ordinary and everyday than marriage?\nMargaret Mahy\u2019s The Changeover was one of my favourite books when I was in high school. It\u2019s about a teenage girl, Laura Chant, who rescues her tiny brother from a supernatural force that is slowly killing him. She does this by transforming \u2013 \u2018changing over\u2019 \u2013 into a witch, in a transition that is dangerous and unpredictable and frightening. My friend Egg and I both madly loved the book because it was smart, sexy and scary, and because Mahy managed to treat her young characters as whole and complex people, people tasked with real and serious challenges. With the help of a family of witches, Laura Chant transitions to save her brother. This involves a ritual, a physical change, and danger. Afterwards, she looks at herself in the mirror and sees that \u2018through the power of charged imagination, her own and other people\u2019s, [she] had made herself into a new kind of creature\u2019.\nNow, years later, I can see why this idea appealed so strongly to my 14-year-old self. Surely this process must appeal to every queer child: the passage through harsh terrain. The changing over that leaves you forever altered.\nMy friend Egg was with me in 2005 when I married my girlfriend Heather in Toronto City Hall. While Heather and I exchanged rings and promises, ice-skaters outside carved circles in a rink beneath a clear blue December sky.\nThe plan had not been to marry, not at first. Heather is American, and we had planned the journey initially as a holiday, a longish stint in the United States to spend time with Heather\u2019s parents and extended family. At the time, Canada was the only English-speaking country in which same-sex marriage was legal. When it occurred to me that we could get married if only we drove up to Canada, it suddenly seemed perfect and urgent and necessary. We would marry. Of course. Elated, we told everyone we knew. We made invitations, bought rings, planned receptions in the US and Australia.\nBecause of the distance, my family and friends couldn\u2019t travel over for the wedding, and we reassured them we appreciated that Toronto was expensive and far away. In truth, my parents were still uncomfortable with my sexuality, so the prospect of the wedding didn\u2019t fill them with festive cheer. In the months leading up to the wedding, I was torn by emotion. I wanted my parents to be proud and present. I wanted them to be supportive of my wedding. Their resistance meant that what should\u2019ve been a time of joy was actually a time of mixed feelings, of sadness and heartache. They wanted me to live a normal life, to be married to a man, to have kids. I was trying to show them that this was a normal life. But for my country and my parents, the wedding didn\u2019t exist.\nIn the end, the only person from my past who was there for the ceremony was Egg, who flew in from her new home in England. (In the years since we finished school, she had been doing some changing over of her own, falling in love with an Englishman, and becoming a UK resident.) Her presence was the most wonderful gift, one that I would appreciate even more in years to come. Just like in The Changeover, I needed not just this ritual, not just the wedding, but also the power of imagination \u2013 mine and Heather\u2019s, and that of those around us \u2013 to shift us into this new thing, this new state.\nSurveys show that younger people tend to be more accepting of same-sex marriage, while older people are less accepting of it. Most Australians agree that it\u2019s inevitable that the law will change. Even so, marriage equality opponents, such as Liberal politician Cory Bernardi, are comfortable enough in their prejudice to suggest \u2013 as he did last year, and again earlier this year \u2013 that same-sex marriage will lead to bestiality, and to people wanting to marry animals. When such arguments can even be imagined to play a part in the national debate, it\u2019s hard to know when we will ever move forward.\nOpponents of same-sex marriage often demand its supporters consider the plight of the children affected by same-sex marriage. But what about the children of same- sex parents who know that their parents can\u2019t marry if they want to? What about teenagers who know that regardless of whether they might want to, they themselves won\u2019t be permitted to marry a same-sex partner in the foreseeable future? Marriage is an incredibly powerful symbol. So is the withholding of it. It means that in the national imaginary, it\u2019s impossible to see homosexual relationships as equivalent to heterosexual relationships. It\u2019s a failure of the imagination that has very real effects on the lives of queer Australians.\nThe anthropologist Victor Turner says that, for the subject in the liminal state, and who is about to go through a rite of passage, biological, social and cultural processes \u2018give an outward and visible form to an inward and conceptual process.\u2019 He also says that the subject, before the ritual, is \u2018structurally, if not physically, invisible.\u2019\nAs Heather and I stood before each other that day in Toronto, the celebrant reminded us that our wedding rings were an outward and visible sign of our love. As we exchanged rings, he said, \u2018May these circles be the sign and seal of a pure and imperishable love, now mutually pledged.\u2019\nI clung to those words, because I knew that when I left Canada with Heather in just a few days, our marriage would become, in legal terms, a phantom.\nBut back then, I was hopeful. I thought the law would change soon. Surely, I thought at the time, it will happen within a couple of years at the most. How wrong I was. As I write this, my eighth wedding anniversary is approaching. Heather and I are still married, and still ghosts. Every time I go to my straight friends\u2019 weddings, I hear the statement, \u2018Marriage in Australia is defined as the union between a man and a woman, to the exclusion of all others.\u2019 Celebrants are required by law to make that statement now. Every time I hear it, I burn with sadness and fury, and grip Heather\u2019s hand even tighter.\nAnthropologists like Turner saw marriage as an important transition, a rite of passage. For many contemporary Australians, though, transitions and rites of passage aren\u2019t so important. Some of my friends are married, some divorced or separated, while some never have and probably never will marry. Some of them will happily spend their lives single. Wanting to know why some of us prefer to formalise our relationships, I asked my friends about their decision to marry, or stay unmarried.\nFor my friend Chris, marriage was an important public assertion of his commitment to his wife. In addition, marriage as a symbol was important to him.\n\u2018Having moved around a lot all my life,\u2019 he says, \u2018I was attracted to the idea of stability that marriage represented. I didn\u2019t want to settle down permanently, but I wanted to feel at home in a relationship. To have something that was a given in a life full of change.\u2019\nI know what he means. For me, I needed the assurance that Heather planned to stay put. I was used to relationships failing and people disappearing. A public commitment to sticking things out was reassuring for me. Of course, people divorce all the time, but for me, just the thought that Heather might imagine a life with me was what mattered.\nMy friend Helen tells me that she and her partner Nikolai have never actually spoken about marriage at all, despite being together for 13 years and living together for 12. \u2018He has,\u2019 she tells me, \u2018some kind of objection to marriage as an institution, but I actually don\u2019t know much about the nature of his objections, because we\u2019ve never discussed it.\u2019 I am surprised and impressed when she tells me that it took 10 years for her to learn that Nikolai had any opinions about marriage at all. But I can imagine them in that first decade, talking about the things that really interested them \u2013 things like Doctor Who and Neil Gaiman and how to make a really excellent risotto.\nWhile rites of passage are perhaps of less importance now than they were historically, that shift isn\u2019t an argument against marriage equality. Rather, it means that those who wish to marry \u2013 or would prefer not to \u2013 should do what is right for them.\nHelen would hate it if she and Nikolai were somehow required to marry. \u2018But if I\u2019m not forced to marry,\u2019 she reasons, \u2018I\u2019m not entirely sure why other couples are forced not to. Perhaps my sister would have chosen to marry her girlfriend, if she had the choice? I don\u2019t know, because, unlike my brother and I with our opposite-sex partners, it was never an option for her.\u2019\nIn 2011, the Australian Bureau of Statistics for the first time collected census data about same-sex couples who reported being married. Heather and I were one of the 1338 same-sex couples who ticked the box to say they were married. Another 32,377 same-sex couples reported that they were in a de facto relationship. These figures are dwarfed, of course, by the numbers of heterosexual couples in de facto relationships or marriages, who together totalled 4,650,986 that year.\nWe don\u2019t know much about those 1338 married same- sex couples, not whether they went overseas to marry, or had a civil partnership ceremony here, or whether they simply consider themselves married.\nWhat is certain is that none of these couples have had a legal same-sex marriage in Australia. Those of us who were married overseas can\u2019t claim that our overseas marriages are legitimate here, either \u2013 federal parliament changed the Marriage Act in 2004 to ensure this. The wording of the Act was altered to state that marriage in Australia means the union of a woman and a man, to the exclusion of all others. When Heather and I returned after our wedding journey, we were as unmarried as when we had departed, according to the law.\nIn the years after my wedding, I wrote a memoir about the journey that Heather and I made to get married. The writing and the marrying went hand in hand, in a way. As I say in the book, Ghost Wife: A Memoir of Love and Defiance:\nConfronted by all this silence and denial, Heather and I decided to make our own kind of noise, find our own kind of visibility. If my country wouldn\u2019t allow the wedding, we would go to another country to marry. And if Australia and the United States refused to acknowledge the wedding certificate, fine. I\u2019d document what happened in an irrefutable way: I\u2019d write about the wedding and the journey leading up to it. It would be a permanent record. A testament. Proof.\nI also wrote the book for my parents, in the hopes that they would understand, at last, why I had married Heather. I had hoped that the marriage, as a rite of passage, would be self- explanatory. But my family hadn\u2019t witnessed the wedding, so I had the impression that in some ways, it didn\u2019t really happen, as far as they were concerned. If the marriage itself \u2013 so far away, so ghostly \u2013 couldn\u2019t be the transformation that would work, perhaps the book could.\nYears earlier, The Changeover had made me think about transformations. Maybe now, I thought, my book could explain to my parents what my international marriage could not.\nThere are only a handful of moments in your life that you know, in advance, will be life-changing. Graduations. Marriages. Having children. It\u2019s a strange thing when these moments arrive. They are all, in some form or other, thresholds. They mark transitions from one phase of life to another.\nFor me, marriage was definitely a transformation, but that transformation didn\u2019t happen like flicking a switch. It took years, and it continues. For me, being with Heather has enabled me to trust that she isn\u2019t leaving, and that I can build a life with her. We aren\u2019t na\u00efve about the possibility of the relationship breaking down, and we know we might not be together forever. But the marriage enabled me to stop worrying so much about what the future might hold, and to start building the future as if the two of us would be there. Now, when I imagine myself in forty years\u2019 time, I imagine Heather there beside me, the two of us wrinkled as Shar-Peis and wearing old-lady hats, and Heather grinning at me like she always does, like she always has, like I hope she always will.\nWhen DOMA was struck down in June 2013, my marriage to Heather was recognised federally in the US for the first time since we were married. Now I can apply for a green card based on our relationship \u2013 which I could have done eight years ago had we been in a heterosexual relationship.\nThis change brings with it some major decisions for me. Heather and I love Australia. But she is an American, and misses her family, her friends, and what she has left behind. As for me, I am curious about what it would be like to live in the US. As I write this, Heather and I are in discussions about the prospect of an international move. The more we talk about it, the more likely it seems that we\u2019ll go through with it, if my green card application is approved.\nMy fear glimmers bright and sharp at the thought of this kind of upheaval. What about our cats, and our beloved friends, and our careers? And, especially, what about my ageing parents and my brothers? I don\u2019t want to make a move that I later regret. I know that change is often frightening, and sometimes that\u2019s what makes it the best thing we can do.\nFor Australia, too, it is time to make a change. It is time to acknowledge that queer relationships are just as valid as heterosexual relationships, and that the institutional denial of marriage rights reinforces the second-rate status of homosexual relationships. Regardless of where you stand on marriage, refusing marriage rights to one sector of the community enshrines inequality. Gay and lesbian youth are four times more likely to kill themselves than heterosexual youth, for a variety of reasons, but surely a lack of acceptance \u2013 from family, friends, and the society at large \u2013 is a major motivator. Marriage inequality is just another form of rejection.\nAustralians are ready for change. We know it\u2019s time. Same-sex marriage takes nothing away, certainly not the \u2018sanctity\u2019 of marriage. All it will do is make Australia a kinder, more equitable place, a nation in which queers, too, can be imagined more fully as part of the community \u2013 as married or unmarried, parents or not. All it takes to change is for us to see that this transformation started a long time ago. Now it\u2019s time to acknowledge it, legalise it. Margaret Mahy was right: when you change into something new, you get there through the power of charged imagination. You get there on the strength of shared belief.\nMichelle Dicinoski is the author of Ghost Wife: A Memoir of Love and Defiance (Black Inc., 2013).

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb Meaningful Minutes \u00bb Economy: Five things that suggest pickup - Meaningful Minutes\nEconomy: Five things that suggest pickup\nIn 2008, a crisis in the US shook the world economy. India was one of the few countries, which was not too affected. This was because the Indian engine was powered by high demand in the country. However, a high inflation and other factors ate into this demand, and the economy slowed down.\nIt has been two years since India grew at a rate over 5%. The narrative seems to be changing now. Recent data is causing optimism about a growth recovery in the current fiscal year.\nHere are five factors that indicate a pickup in India's economy:\nManufacturing is an important aspect of the economy. It contributes about 15% to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) - a measure of the economy. A fall in factory output was a key reason for the slowdown in the economy. However, recent data indicates a pickup in manufacturing. The Index of Industrial Production (IIP), which measures factory output, grew 4.7% in May 2014 from the previous year - the highest since October 2012. It grew another 3.4% in June. This indicates that companies are confident about a rise in demand. The Purchase Managers' Index (PMI) - which measures orders received by managers - too signalled a revival in the sector. The PMI index jumped to a 17-month high of 53 in July, signalling the ninth month of expansion in the industry.\nService sector PMI:\nThe services industry is the largest contributor to the Indian economy. It contributes nearly 56% to the GDP. Data suggests that the services sector has started expanding again. The service sector PMI has remained over the mark of 50 since May this year. It hit a high a 17-month high of 54.4 in June. However, it fell marginally in July to 52.2. Services PMI had languished at sub-50 levels in 2013, as the sector contracted and orders stopped flowing in.\nPickup in demand:\nThe Indian economy relies heavily on domestic consumption. Economic data suggests demand has recovered in the past few months. The sub-index in the manufacturing PMI index that measures new orders jumped to 55.9 - the highest since February 2013. This indicates businesses are witnessing a rise in orders. The auto industry too saw a 15% rise in car sales in June - the fastest rise in 10 months. The improvement in demand is good news for both companies and the overall economy.\nExternal sector:\nIn a globalised world, the external sector plays an important role. This includes any imports and exports of goods and services as well as fund flows. It is one of the most important factors for the currency. Data suggests there is an improvement in the external sector too, especially in exports. Exports grew at over-10% rates in May and June, and 7% in July. This has been largely due to an improvement in the economies of developed countries. The government's efforts last year to curb gold imports too have helped narrow the current account deficit to 1.7% of the GDP in 2013-14 from 4.8% in 2012-13. This is the amount India owes to the world in foreign currency. It directly affects the rupee's valuation. As a result, the rupee has remained stable at Rs 60/$ levels after last year's free fall.\nCorporate profits up:\nFor many quarters, companies suffered from poor consumer demand and high interest rates. As a result, profit growth staggered. However, the April-June quarter earnings season has seen a great improvement in corporate profits. Net profit grew at 29.76% the fastest pace in the past 18 months in the June quarter, a report by Mint, a business newspaper, said.\nIndia could easily hit 7% GDP growth rate with modest economic reforms: Moody'sRead more\nThe economy may be improving, but credit growth is slidingRead more\nNet sales of 285 companies in the BSE 500 index grew 9.79% in the April-June quarter, according to the report by Mint. This is the fastest pace in nine quarters or 27 months, and indicates a revival in consumer demand. Net sales grew faster for 28 of the 30 Sensex firms at 11.52% from the previous year. This is much higher than the 5.49% in the previous quarter.",

(Light File)\nLess than 24 hours after the meeting last week to bring those on both sides of the contentious Playa del Norte stanchions issue to the table, San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer\u2019s office announced a decision to reinstate the stanchions in the coming days.\nThe issue, a year-and-a-half in the making (see timeline, below), centers on a striped, no-parking area at the foot of Playa del Norte where it meets Neptune Place, where experimental parking configurations have been implemented.\nFirst, the area was blocked with stanchions, drawing the ire of the surfers who use the spot to view the surf.\nThen, in April, City Council member Barbara Bry implemented a six-month pilot program to permit two, 15-minute parking spaces in that area to placate the surfers, but drawing the ire of the residents who live nearby.\nThe residents contend they are troubled by noise and alleged drug-use from those using the parking spots. Their other concern is the traffic safety issue associated with drivers proceeding the wrong way on a one-way street to make a U-turn to access the spaces.\nA meeting was held the evening of Nov. 27 at the La Jolla Riford Library with both sides reporting, moderated by National Conflict Resolution Center mediator and land-use lawyer Cary Lowe, tasked with developing a common understanding to determine the next needed steps for a solution.\nHowever, the next day, Mayor Faulconer\u2019s office e-mailed Bry\u2019s office announcing the dissolution of the pilot program that allowed the parking, and stating that the stanchions would be replaced. It read in part: \u201cAfter receiving many complaints, photos and video from community members, we have decided to act in the interest of public safety. We will be reverting the program site back to its original state with additional stanchions to act as a barrier to illegal parking.\u201d\nCraig Gustafson, senior director of communications for the Mayor, told La Jolla Light: \u201cThis was a well-intentioned, but ultimately failed, experiment that drew daily complaints from nearby residents about the dangerous conditions observed following installation of the parking spots. The Mayor is removing the parking spots for public-safety reasons and to do what\u2019s in the best interest of the community.\u201d\nDespite the decision, residents representing the surfing community are asking for the opportunity to finish what was started at the Nov. 27 meeting \u2014 and they have Council member Bry\u2019s support.\nAttempt at resolution\nWhen representatives from both parties met to seek a resolution, speaking for keeping the parking places were La Jolla Community Planning Association trustees Patrick Ahern and Glen Rasmussen. Speaking for re-instating the stanchions were La Jolla Town Council trustee Michael Dershowitz and La Jolla Neighborhood Watch coordinator Cynthia Chasan, along with resident of the nearby condominium complex Mike Wong.\n\u201cNothing is going to be decided today, no one in this room is a decision-maker for the City or any other agency with authority,\u201d Lowe opened, \u201cbut what we can do tonight is arrive at a common definition of what the problem is now, and at least, what the options are for addressing it.\u201d\nThen he gave each side the chance to offer opening statements.\nRasmussen said: \u201cThis view is the most perfect view of the surf at WindanSea that exists. Before this condo was built and before the bollards went up, people were used to the tradition of driving up, seeing if the surf was consistent and worth the time to park their vehicles and unload their stuff.\u201d\nDershowitz countered: \u201cThere is nothing more important than people\u2019s safety. The residents of La Jolla would be best served by the continuation of the no-parking policy. Allowing parking has proven to cause documented adverse results: risks of collisions, risks to those on bikes and pedestrians, traffic congestion, illegal parking, loitering, excessive noise and drug use.\u201d\nOver the course of the two-hour meeting, many shared anecdotes about the space. Longtime resident Melinda Merryweather said: \u201cMy mother lived on that street for 32 years, and for 70 years, people have stopped there to look at the surf.\u201d Another resident added \u201cthere were no problems\u201d with the space before the construction of the condominium complex immediately adjacent in 2015.\nHowever, residents who documented infractions with their home-surveillance cameras reported 2,192 incidences of wrong-way driving (the majority of which were reportedly to access the spaces); 1,204 cases of illegal parking violations; 1,260 violations of the 15-minute parking limitation; and 251 violations of the 8 p.m. parking limit.\nLocal architects Phil Merten and Jim Neri proposed street designs to improve the situation by keeping the parking places, but discouraging wrong-way driving. However, with no plans that met the needs of all those involved, some suggested deferring design ideas to professional traffic engineers.\nModerator Lowe posed the idea of removing the dedicated parking and the striping, and to have parallel parking against the curb \u201clike every other street in the City of San Diego,\u201d which was met with applause from half the room.\nAll said, Lowe presented three \u201cnext steps\u201d that would involve a third party to create a neutral basis of information and move forward.\nStep 1: Ask the City to survey area parking to determine if these parking spaces are needed (based on the number of houses, use, and the recommended parking number) and see how that compares to what is already there;\nStep 2: Have the City Attorney weigh in on the concept of an \u201cattractive nuisance\u201d that might come with the parking configuration and \u201cthe gray area\u201d of the extent to which the City can be held liable for creating a condition that is arguably dangerous;\nStep 3: Meet with the City for a workshop with traffic engineers tasked with coming up with a plan that meets the needs identified in the City (Step 1) study that satisfies the neighborhood and the nearby residents.\nHowever, before the City could consider these steps, the Mayor\u2019s office announced its decision to replace the stanchions and remove the parking.\nNevertheless, Bry told La Jolla Light: \u201cThis decision doesn\u2019t preclude my office and the community from moving forward and I will follow the direction of the working group to work with City staff on the (three) action items.\u201d\nParking Issue Timeline\nIn June 2017, the La Jolla Traffic & Transportation advisory group approves a proposal to install stanchions along a striped, no-parking area at the foot of Playa del Norte in WindanSea (where it meets Neptune Place) to deter illegal parking and subsequent drug-use and nuisance activities. Residents of the nearby condominium complex report vandalism and disruption to their quality of life.\nBefore the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) can ratify the decision, the City installs stanchions to block parking.\nDecember 2017, LJCPA votes to ask the City to remove the stanchions to preserve the view treasured by surfers, and asks the City to implement a temporary parking configuration as an alternative.\nApril 2018, a community meeting is held to discuss safety, and, hoping for a meet-in-the-middle solution, District 1 City Council member Barbara Bry launches a six-month pilot program to allow for two, 15-minute parking spaces, where parking is permitted 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. The stanchions come down and the striped area is reduced that day.\nIn the following months, residents report 4,907 violations (the most serious is wrong-way driving) and multiple incidents (from April 18 to Aug. 31) where more than two cars are using the spaces. These are documented via a security camera.\nSeptember 2018, LJCPA asks to make the pilot program permanent.\nOne week later, La Jolla Town Council votes in direct opposition, asking the City to remove the parking places and re-instate the stanchions.\nSoon after, Bry calls for the creation of an ad-hoc committee comprised of reps from all stakeholder groups to come together and craft a solution. The group holds its meeting Nov. 27 at the La Jolla Library.\nThe next day, San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer\u2019s office announces the dissolution of the pilot parking program.\nLess than 24 hours after a meeting was held to bring those on both sides of Playa del Norte stanchions issue to the table, San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer\u2019s office announced a decision had been made to reinstate the stanchions, which will happen later this month.\nMayor's office announces stanchions replacement 24 hours after community meeting",

        "raw_content": "FRONTLINE CANCER: The value of Comprehensive Cancer Centers\nIt\u2019s estimated that approximately 14 million Americans alive today have had cancer. Some are cancer-free; some are still fighting it. This year, they will be joined by another 1.6 million persons who will receive that fearful diagnosis. The grim news, of course, is that the ranks of cancer patients are also trimmed each year by death: More than 585,000 annually, a rate second only to heart disease nationally (but first in San Diego).\nAnnual statistics from the American Cancer Society show that the overall death rate from cancer in the United States has steadily declined over the past two decades. But progress is uneven. The overall death rates for the four most common cancers \u2014 prostate, female breast, lung and colorectal \u2014 have all declined, for example, but the incidence rates for other kinds of cancer, such as melanoma of the skin, kidney, leukemia, pancreas and liver, are rising.\nThe rates of new cancer cases and cancer deaths also vary by racial and ethnic group. Between 1991 and 2010, the cancer death rate declined more than 50 percent for black men ages 40-49, more than in any other group. Yet black men continue to have the highest cancer death rate among all ethnic groups in the country.\nThese numbers illustrate the complexity of cancer. It is different in every patient, even among patients with the \u201csame\u201d cancer. The findings also highlight the potential importance of a National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center (CCC), which by definition must:\nn Demonstrate depth and breadth of research in the laboratory, in the clinic and in population-based studies, with substantial overlap to promote bridging and collaboration,\nn And possess the professional and public education outreach capabilities necessary to disseminate clinical and public health advances. In other words, to effectively translate research into real-life therapies and common knowledge.\nWhen available, there are obvious reasons for seeing an oncologist and/or visiting a CCC like the UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center when cancer is suspected. After all, cancer is their specialty. It\u2019s more likely a correct diagnosis will be made early and the appropriate therapies applied effectively.\nThis seems like common sense and there are abundant anecdotes to support the idea, but surprisingly little empirical evidence. However, at the recent annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), the foremost organization in clinical cancer care with more than 35,000 members, a group of researchers from City of Hope (itself an NCI-designated CCC) and Columbia University in New York described the results of a study that analyzed the outcomes of a diverse group of 53,618 cancer patients living in Los Angeles between 1998 and 2008.\nEven accounting for factors such as age, gender and socioeconomics, cancer patients who were treated at CCCs experienced a better five-year overall survival rate (the chance that they\u2019ll still be alive five years after diagnosis) than patients treated at non-CCC or community sites.\nFor example, the five-year overall survival rate for breast cancer patients treated at a CCC was 89 percent compared to 86 percent elsewhere; for oral cancer, 68 percent to 59 percent; for lung, 28 percent to 17 percent; and for pancreas, 13 percent to 6 percent.\nThe study did note a specific challenge: Ready or equal access to an NCI-designated CCC is not enjoyed by all patients. Partly, it\u2019s a matter of geography and numbers.\nThere are just 41 NCI-designated CCCs in the country, unevenly distributed. A few cities boast more than one, but some entire states have none. San Diego is in the enviable position of being home to Moores, plus two NCI-designated Cancer Centers focused on laboratory science: the Salk Institute Cancer Center and the Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute. These two institutions emphasize basic cancer research in the laboratory, and with Moores have created the San Diego National Cancer Centers Council, or C3, to leverage their distinct and combined resources and talents for the benefit of Moores\u2019 patients.\nThe ASCO report, however, did note that patients without private insurance, of low socioeconomic status, of African-American or Hispanic backgrounds or living more than nine miles from a CCC were less likely to use a Comprehensive Cancer Center. \u201cThe key issue is the distribution of the highest quality, evidence-based care to the greatest number of patients no matter where they live,\u201d said Clifford A. Hudis, M.D., immediate past president of ASCO.\nOptimal outcomes for all types of cancer require broad dissemination of the best, evidence-based treatments. Informed and capable oncologists, many of whom practice privately and independently as well as at CCCs, are key. Such doctors recognize and value having a CCC available to assist, to provide second opinions and access to experts in uncommon diagnoses as well as new technology and approaches. It benefits them \u2014 and their patients.\n\u2014 Scott M. Lippman, M.D., is director of UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center.

(Bing Maps)\nA magnitude 7.5 earthquake struck in the southern Pacific Ocean near New Caledonia on Wednesday, prompting authorities to warn of a tsunami threat to nearby islands.\nThe Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said tsunami waves of between 3 and 10 feet were possible along some coasts of New Caledonia and Vanuatu, while waves of up to 3 feet were possible in Fiji.\nThe warning center said there was no threat to Hawaii.\nDan McGarry, the media director at the Vanuatu Daily Post, said he heard only of three small wave surges hitting the southern island of Aneityum. He said that the waves traveled only a couple of yards beyond the normal tidal waves, and that everybody was fine on the island.\nAccording to the U.S. Geological Survey, the quake struck about 104 miles east of Tadine in New Caledonia at a shallow depth of 6 miles. Earthquakes are generally more destructive when the epicenter is near the surface.\nAt least five aftershocks also hit, ranging in magnitude from 5.6 to 6.0.\nNew Caledonia sits on the Pacific \"Ring of Fire,\" the arc of seismic faults around the Pacific Ocean where most of the world's earthquakes and volcanic activity occur.",

        "raw_content": "Dating & Relationships Featured - Home Page Law & Finance Our Affairs Our Lives\nGetting Married?\u2014Seriously Consider An Antenuptial (Prenuptial) Agreement\nCategories: Dating & Relationships, Featured - Home Page, Law & Finance, Our Affairs, Our Lives\nBy Marty Swaden\nI have been a divorce attorney for 38 years, so I have heard all the reasons as to why a couple decides against executing an antenuptial agreement. \u201cWe are in love, let\u2019s not enter our marriage even considering the possibility of divorce.\u201d \u201cExecuting an antenuptial agreement is an admission that our marriage will not be successful.\u201d \u201cYou know that what is mine is yours, just trust me. I would never be unfair to you.\u201d I fully understand the difficulty of discussing the possibility of an end to a loving relationship, but consider the following:\nBen and Chris met in college and began living together shortly after graduation. They moved into Ben\u2019s home that Ben purchased 5 years earlier with money that he received from his family. Ben was able to secure a good paying job after graduation. Chris was only able to find part time work and was likely going to attend graduate school to make himself more employable. They pooled their incomes to pay for their regular monthly living expenses. Ben had excellent benefits from his employment: medical insurance, retirement benefits, a company stock purchase plan, and a health savings account. Ben worked long hours, so Chris was responsible for the majority of the work around the home. Chris was also very skilled at home renovations. He put in new hardwood floors, painted the entire house, and replaced most of the older fixtures with new ones. 20 years after they began living together, as soon as same-sex marriage was legalized, they decided to marry. Chris asked Ben if he would be willing to explore the possibility of executing an antenuptial agreement. Ben was hurt. How could Chris think that anything would happen to their long term relationship? Ben assured Chris that if anything ever happened he would be more than fair. Assets would be divided and Ben would financially assist him in the future. No antenuptial agreement was executed. 5 years after the marriage, things drastically changed. Ben was more and more consumed with his work giving Chris very little of his time. Chris was angry and depressed\u2014his work situation had not improved and he was unfulfilled. Communication between the two became difficult, and arguments were common. Chris finally told Ben after unsuccessful marriage counseling that the marriage was not working and that they needed to divorce. Ben was irate and told Chris to leave the home immediately. Chris met with an attorney, assuming that the home and the other assets that had been accumulated over the 20 years prior to the marriage and during the 5 years of the marriage would be equally divided. He learned that since Ben was title owner of the home, and the home was purchased prior to the marriage, Ben was entitled to all of the equity in the home, except for a small amount attributable to the 5 years of the marriage. The same was true of Ben\u2019s retirement plan, his stock plan, and other premarital assets. The marital estate was quite small, and Chris would be entitled to 50% of it. Chris called Ben and asked if he would be willing to meet with a mediator to discuss a fair division of the assets, including the premarital assets. Ben said that the law was the law, and Chris would need to be satisfied with his share of the small marital estate. He suggested that Chris finally return to graduate school and get a job that would pay him enough money to meet his expenses.\nCould the above have been prevented? What if Ben and Chris had met with a mediator prior to the marriage and discussed the terms of an antenuptial agreement? Had that occurred Ben would likely have been more than willing to divide the majority of the homestead equity with Chris based upon the value of the home at the time of the marriage. He would likely have agreed to the same approach regarding his retirement plan and his company stock. Why not? Chris had shared his life for the last 20 years. Chris improved the home, maintained the home, cooked most of the meals, made the reservations for their vacations, and was in charge of entertaining Ben\u2019s business associates. They discussed and resolved with the mediator what would happen in the event of a divorce and also what would happen in the event of one predeceasing the other. They were referred to an attorney to assist them in drafting wills and met with an agent to discuss investing in long term health care insurance. Both had met with attorneys prior to the meeting with the mediator, and while they understood the applicable law, they were more interested in what was fair for both of them than the \u201cletter of the law.\u201d\nAntenuptial agreements are looked at favorably by the courts in Minnesota. As long as the agreement meets with the statutory procedural requirements and is substantively fair, the court is going to enforce the agreement even over the objections of one of the parties. Antenuptial agreements are not expensive taking into consideration the possible alternative of an expensive and emotionally exhausting divorce. Most of the time two to four hours of mediation is sufficient and the remaining cost would be for an attorney to draft the document. If you are considering having an antenuptial agreement drafted, please meet with your mediator well in advance of the wedding. I would recommend at least six months prior to the wedding. I have seen too many cases where the couple waits until a few weeks before the wedding to meet with their mediator and when emotions are running high as the marriage date gets closer. Your wedding should be enjoyed, so address this well in advance. Most mediators will do a short free consultation with the couple, so that everyone is comfortable working together. I love doing this kind of work when a couple is working together to reach a fair and equitable approach to possible future circumstances. They leave my office happy and content. I cannot say the same thing about my clients who have experienced a bitter divorce.\nMartin L. Swaden, Attorney at Law\nmswaden@swaden.com\nwww.swaden.com",

        "title": "On The Record: 492 | Lavender Magazine",
        "raw_content": "On The Record: 492\nBy Ed Huyck April 3, 2014\nThis New York duo rode a wave of modern, moody electronic music at the end of the last decade and like some of their colleagues \u2013 the XX come to mind \u2013 they have evolved into a stronger act on their second full-length album. There are two factors pushing that evolution. The first is the deepened work done by Josh Carter and Sarah Barthel, who share the vocals. The other is strong interplay between guitars (Carter) and keyboards (Barthel), which gives the band a lot more aural life than plenty of other electronic bands. You also can\u2019t discount the strong set of songs \u2013 like the fierce \u201cThe Day You Died\u201d or moody \u201cI Don\u2019t Blame You\u201d \u2013 for the strength of the album.\nThe second album formed by the unlikely alliance between Danger Mouse and The Shins\u2019 James Mercer sounds fine in isolation, but it pales once you listen to it back to back with the band\u2019s self-titled debut. The intriguing rough edges that fueled much of the music on the first album have been smoothed away, leaving a well-produced but absolutely typical piece of 2014-style rock. The songs are slick and well put together, which has led to songs like the title track getting plenty of traction on stations like The Current. However, there\u2019s a sameness to the tunes that makes it tougher and tougher to really fall in love with the recording. It\u2019s fine for a quick trip, but I wouldn\u2019t want to spend hours with this on repeat.\nFor her latest album, St. Vincent (stage name of Annie Erin Clark) seems to be channeling a bit of early 1990s Liz Phair. The songs on this self-titled album burst with an off-center energy not present on her last album, the more introspective Strange Mercy. Employing a heavier vibe than in the past, Clark runs us through her recent years. They\u2019ve been tremendous for her artistically \u2013 solo success and collaboration with the legendary David Byrne \u2013 and you can feel and hear that throughout this tight 11-song collection. The bracing music ties in with Clark\u2019s growing confidence as a songwriter. The songs are still personal, but are now touching on a broader swath of topics that makes for a thrilling listen.\nRachel Kilgour Whistleblower\u2019s Manifesto: Songs for a New Revolution\nDuluth has long been an interesting musical breeding ground, isolated enough to ferment a unique music scene with numerous acts finding a footing by Lake Superior. Rachel Kilgour\u2019s new three-song EP showcases a distinct, folk-tinged sound that features lyrics that reflect back on another Iron Range denizen: Bob Dylan. This is 21st century folk rock, with angry songs about religious intolerance (\u201cHe\u2019ll Save Me\u201d) and modern American economics (\u201cIn America\u201d). Kilgour sings with plenty of clarity and verve, and the songs are driven forward by plenty of acoustic-guitar fueled intensity, but the protest songs are a little too on point for me. I agree with everything she has to say here, but I wish there were a bit more grace in the message.",

        "title": "The Hearts of the Children Shall Turn - liahona",
        "raw_content": "The Hearts of the Children Shall Turn\nI invite the young people of the Church to learn about and experience the Spirit of Elijah.\nAs we study, learn, and live the gospel of Jesus Christ, sequence often is instructive. Consider, for example, the lessons we learn about spiritual priorities from the order of the major events that occurred as the fulness of the Savior\u2019s gospel was restored in these latter days.\nIn the Sacred Grove, Joseph Smith saw and talked with the Eternal Father and Jesus Christ. Among other things, Joseph learned about the true nature of the Godhead and of continuing revelation. This majestic vision ushered in \u201cthe dispensation of the fulness of times\u201d (Ephesians 1:10) and is one of the signal events in the history of the world.\nApproximately three years later, in response to earnest prayer on the evening of September 21, 1823, Joseph\u2019s bedroom filled with light until it \u201cwas lighter than at noonday\u201d (Joseph Smith\u2014History 1:30). A personage appeared at his bedside, called the young boy by name, and declared \u201che was a messenger sent from the presence of God \u2026 and that his name was Moroni\u201d (verse 33). He instructed Joseph about the coming forth of the Book of Mormon. And then Moroni quoted from the book of Malachi in the Old Testament, with a little variation in the language used in the King James Version:\n\u201cBehold, I will reveal unto you the Priesthood, by the hand of Elijah the prophet, before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.\n\u201c\u2026 And he shall plant in the hearts of the children the promises made to the fathers, and the hearts of the children shall turn to their fathers. If it were not so, the whole earth would be utterly wasted at his coming\u201d (verses 38, 39).\nMoroni\u2019s instructions to the young prophet ultimately included two primary themes: (1) the Book of Mormon and (2) the words of Malachi foretelling the role of Elijah in the Restoration \u201cof all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began\u201d (Acts 3:21). Thus, the introductory events of the Restoration revealed a correct understanding of the Godhead, emphasized the importance of the Book of Mormon, and anticipated the work of salvation and exaltation for both the living and the dead. This inspiring sequence is instructive about the spiritual matters of highest priority to Deity.\nMy message focuses upon the ministry and Spirit of Elijah foretold by Moroni in his initial instructions to Joseph Smith. I earnestly pray for the assistance of the Holy Ghost.\nThe Ministry of Elijah\nElijah was an Old Testament prophet through whom mighty miracles were performed. He sealed the heavens, and no rain fell in ancient Israel for 3\u00bd years. He multiplied a widow\u2019s meal and oil. He raised a young boy from the dead, and he called down fire from heaven in a challenge to the prophets of Baal. (See 1 Kings 17\u201318.) At the conclusion of Elijah\u2019s mortal ministry, he \u201cwent up by a whirlwind into heaven\u201d (2 Kings 2:11) and was translated.\n\u201cWe learn from latter-day revelation that Elijah held the sealing power of the Melchizedek Priesthood and was the last prophet to do so before the time of Jesus Christ\u201d (Bible Dictionary, \u201cElijah\u201d). The Prophet Joseph Smith explained, \u201cThe spirit, power, and calling of Elijah is, that ye have power to hold the key of the \u2026 fullness of the Melchizedek Priesthood \u2026 ; and to \u2026 obtain \u2026 all the ordinances belonging to the kingdom of God\u201d (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph Smith [2007], 311; emphasis added). This sacred sealing authority is essential for priesthood ordinances to be valid and binding both on earth and in heaven.\nElijah appeared with Moses on the Mount of Transfiguration (see Matthew 17:3) and conferred this authority upon Peter, James, and John. Elijah appeared again with Moses and others on April 3, 1836, in the Kirtland Temple and conferred the same keys upon Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery.\nScripture records that Elijah the prophet stood before Joseph and Oliver and said:\n\u201cTherefore, the keys of this dispensation are committed into your hands; and by this ye may know that the great and dreadful day of the Lord is near, even at the doors\u201d (D&C 110:14\u201316).\nThe restoration of the sealing authority by Elijah in 1836 was necessary to prepare the world for the Savior\u2019s Second Coming and initiated a greatly increased and worldwide interest in family history research.\nThe Spirit and Work of Elijah\nThe Prophet Joseph Smith declared: \u201cThe greatest responsibility in this world that God has laid upon us is to seek after our dead. \u2026 For it is necessary that the sealing power should be in our hands to seal our children and our dead for the fulness of the dispensation of times\u2014a dispensation to meet the promises made by Jesus Christ before the foundation of the world for the salvation of man. \u2026 Hence, God said, \u2018I will send you Elijah the prophet\u2019\u201d (Teachings: Joseph Smith, 475).\nJoseph further explained:\n\u201cBut what is the object of [the coming of Elijah]? or how is it to be fulfilled? The keys are to be delivered, the spirit of Elijah is to come, the Gospel to be established, the Saints of God gathered, Zion built up, and the Saints to come up as saviors on Mount Zion [see Obadiah 1:21].\n\u201cBut how are they to become saviors on Mount Zion? By building their temples \u2026 and going forth and receiving all the ordinances \u2026 in behalf of all their progenitors who are dead \u2026 ; and herein is the chain that binds the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the children to the fathers, which fulfills the mission of Elijah\u201d (Teachings: Joseph Smith, 472\u201373).\nElder Russell M. Nelson has taught that the Spirit of Elijah is \u201ca manifestation of the Holy Ghost bearing witness of the divine nature of the family\u201d (\u201cA New Harvest Time,\u201d Ensign, May 1998, 34). This distinctive influence of the Holy Ghost draws people to identify, document, and cherish their ancestors and family members\u2014both past and present.\nThe Spirit of Elijah affects people inside and outside of the Church. However, as members of Christ\u2019s restored Church, we have the covenant responsibility to search out our ancestors and provide for them the saving ordinances of the gospel. \u201cThey without us should not be made perfect\u201d (Hebrews 11:40; see also Teachings: Joseph Smith, 475). And \u201cneither can we without our dead be made perfect\u201d (D&C 128:15).\nFor these reasons we do family history research, build temples, and perform vicarious ordinances. For these reasons Elijah was sent to restore the sealing authority that binds on earth and in heaven. We are the Lord\u2019s agents in the work of salvation and exaltation that will prevent \u201cthe whole earth [from being] smitten with a curse\u201d (D&C 110:15) when He returns again. This is our duty and great blessing.\nAn Invitation to the Rising Generation\nI now invite the attention of the young women, young men, and children of the rising generation as I emphasize the importance of the Spirit of Elijah in your lives today. My message is intended for the entire Church in general\u2014but for you in particular.\nMany of you may think family history work is to be performed primarily by older people. But I know of no age limit described in the scriptures or guidelines announced by Church leaders restricting this important service to mature adults. You are sons and daughters of God, children of the covenant, and builders of the kingdom. You need not wait until you reach an arbitrary age to fulfill your responsibility to assist in the work of salvation for the human family.\nThe Lord has made available in our day remarkable resources that enable you to learn about and love this work that is sparked by the Spirit of Elijah. For example, FamilySearch is a collection of records, resources, and services easily accessible with personal computers and a variety of handheld devices, designed to help people discover and document their family history. These resources also are available in the family history centers located in many of our Church buildings throughout the world.\nIt is no coincidence that FamilySearch and other tools have come forth at a time when young people are so familiar with a wide range of information and communication technologies. Your fingers have been trained to text and tweet to accelerate and advance the work of the Lord\u2014not just to communicate quickly with your friends. The skills and aptitude evident among many young people today are a preparation to contribute to the work of salvation.\nI invite the young people of the Church to learn about and experience the Spirit of Elijah. I encourage you to study, to search out your ancestors, and to prepare yourselves to perform proxy baptisms in the house of the Lord for your kindred dead (see D&C 124:28\u201336). And I urge you to help other people identify their family histories.\nAs you respond in faith to this invitation, your hearts shall turn to the fathers. The promises made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob will be implanted in your hearts. Your patriarchal blessing, with its declaration of lineage, will link you to these fathers and be more meaningful to you. Your love and gratitude for your ancestors will increase. Your testimony of and conversion to the Savior will become deep and abiding. And I promise you will be protected against the intensifying influence of the adversary. As you participate in and love this holy work, you will be safeguarded in your youth and throughout your lives.\nParents and leaders, please help your children and youth to learn about and experience the Spirit of Elijah. But do not overly program this endeavor or provide too much detailed information or training. Invite young people to explore, to experiment, and to learn for themselves (see Joseph Smith\u2014History 1:20). Any young person can do what I am suggesting, using the modules available at lds.org/familyhistoryyouth. Aaronic Priesthood quorum and Young Women class presidencies can play an important role in helping all youth become acquainted with these basic resources. Young people increasingly need to be learners who act and thereby receive additional light and knowledge by the power of the Holy Ghost\u2014and not merely passive students who primarily are acted upon (see 2 Nephi 2:26).\nParents and leaders, you will stand all amazed at how rapidly your children and the youth of the Church become highly skilled with these tools. In fact, you will learn valuable lessons from these young people about effectively using these resources. The youth can offer much to older individuals who are uncomfortable with or intimidated by technology or are unfamiliar with FamilySearch. You also will count your many blessings as young people devote more time to family history work and temple service and less time to video games, surfing the Internet, and Facebooking.\nMy beloved young brothers and sisters, family history is not simply an interesting program or activity sponsored by the Church; rather, it is a vital part of the work of salvation and exaltation. You have been prepared for this day and to build up the kingdom of God. You are here upon the earth now to assist in this glorious work.\nI testify Elijah returned to the earth and restored the sacred sealing authority. I witness that what is bound on earth can be bound in heaven. And I know the youth of the rising generation have a key role to play in this great endeavor. I so testify in the sacred name of the Lord Jesus Christ, amen.",

The general introduction enables a newcomer to the field to establish his bearings before tackling the texts.\nAndrew Palmer came down from Oxford in 1977 with a Double First in Classical Greats. He spent 1977-8 in Tur Abdin and Munich, preparing himself to write a thesis in the history of Syriac monasticism. With a D. Phil. from Oxford (1983), he went on to write Monk and mason on the Tigris Frontier: The early history of Tur Abdin (Cambridge 1990). Since then he has published more than a hundred articles on the history of Mesopotamia and on Syriac literature. In 2009, for example, in L' historiographie syriaque, ed. M. Debie [acute accent on the last {e}], appeared his 'Les chroniques breves [grave accent on the first {e}] syriaques', which expands on what he (and Robert Hoyland) wrote on the Syriac minor chronicles in The seventh century in the West-Syrian chronicles (1993). Recently he has specialized in editing and translating Syriac texts, including The Life of Barsawmo the Northerner and Bishop Israel's chronicle of the Ottoman Genocide. From January 2016 he will be employed at the Research Centre for Aramean Studies, University of Constance, to edit, translate and elucidate the Universal Chronicle by Gregorius Barhebraeus (died 1286).",

It looks at the strengths and weaknesses of each theoretical approach, and how they can be used in combination. While recognition theory focuses on personal identity, the capability approach is primarily concerned with acts that people have the freedom to perform. The link between activities and identities is a central issue, mediated as it is by specific values. The chapter also considers the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child as an example of how children\u2019s place in intergenerational relations is constructed. It concludes with a review of current attempts to use the two theories to inform and guide empirical research with children.\nURL https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-72673-1_4",

Rudy was gentle kind, humble, rich in faith, and love for his family.\nRudy\u2019s accomplishments are too numerous to list, but some of which he is most proud of include his voluntary enlistment and service in our nation\u2019s United States Marine Corps during the Vietnam conflict, beginning a family with his high school sweetheart and love of his life Selma J. Santos, who remained by his side during the best and worst times of his life and remained by his side and warmly embraced him until his last breath.\nAdditionally, Rudy considered himself fortunate enough to continue to serve his country and this community with a lifelong commitment as a law enforcement officer of the United States of America. Rudy was blessed with the opportunity to encounter and work with the other fine federal law enforcement officers of U.S. Customs Department of Homeland Security and dutifully fulfilled his role with the title of Chief Inspector at the Laredo inland port of entry over a career that spanned over three decades. Rudy was proud of his service during this time and is thankful for the chance to work with those who wore the same uniform. He loved you all.\nRudy was undoubtedly most proud of his family, both immediate and extended and will be sincerely missed by each person that was fortunate enough to know this gentle, kind, and loving individual. Those who know Rudy know that he was a proud member of the Catholic Church and committed his time and effort to his faith in God by volunteering countless hours to the Diocese of Laredo, Texas, mainly St. John Neumann Church. He was fulfilled with a profound love for our Lord Savior, Jesus Christ and enjoyed the time he spent with his fellow A.C.T.S. brothers, fellow men\u2019s group members, church ushers, church representatives and officials, including the church finance group, and all others who share the same faith in our Lord.\nRudy possessed and modeled a general love for humanity and God, and God called him home on February 7, 2019 so he can use that love in a manner that He deems proper; Rudy understands this, accepts this, and is glad to continue to serve our Lord, Jesus Christ. Rudy\u2019s love for life, friends, family and all others will continue, and those fortunate enough to know him know that Rudy will remain watching after us all.\nAll are invited to extend their condolences, share their favorite memories, and sign the guestbook online at: joejacksonfuneralchaples.com.\nFurther, the entire Santos family, all relatives and friends thank the kind care and treatment provided to Rudy by his medical care providers, including but not limited to Dr. Claudia Y. Santos, Dr. Carlos Cigarroa, Dr. Humberto Varela, Dr. Francisco Cigarroa, Dr. Fritze, Dr. Thomas and the dedicated transplant team of the University of Texas Health Science Center, San Antonio, Texas, and the kind nurses and staff who cared for Rudy and continue to care others on the ninth floor of University Hospital of San Antonio, Texas; may God bless you all.\nHe is preceded in death by his parents: Jesus and Petra Santos; siblings: Jesus Santos Jr., Jorge Santos, Alicia Santos, Javier Santos and Ana Maria Santos.\nLeft behind to cherish his memory are his loving wife of 42 years of marriage: Selma J. Santos; children: Dr. Claudia Yvette (Porfirio Arreguin) Santos, Rodolfo \u201cRudy\u201d (Cynthia Ann) Santos Jr., J.D.; grandchildren: Alexis Raquel Arreguin, Lauren Isabella Arreguin, Andraya Yvette Santos, Rodolfo Santos III, Jude J. Santos, Lily A.

A process chain that extends from the development process through prototype construction to the completion of end products is made possible. An offer of conventional tools and workbenches is also an integral part of the FabLab, thus complementing not only a special electronics workstation, but also the opportunity to become inspirational and creative.\nIn all our activities, we adhere to the international Fab Charter, which regulates the work and interaction of all FabLabs.

        "title": "The 10 Best Action Games You Can Play On Your Mac [MUO Gaming]",
        "raw_content": "The 10 Best Action Games You Can Play On Your Mac [MUO Gaming]\nMatt Smith April 5, 2012 05-04-2012 6 minutes\nGetting your frag on with a Mac has never been easy. The most popular action shooters, like most of the Quake games and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare have been ported, but as you move away from first-person shooters and mega-hits it becomes harder to find good titles.\nThere are, however, some games worth your time. In this article we\u2019ll take a look at ten action games that every Mac gamer will want to play. Some are hits, some are obscure indie titles and some are games that you\u2019ve probably heard of, but forgot to play.\nNo one expected this game to be good. It\u2019s a superhero franchise game, and most such titles usually do little more than cash in on the main character\u2019s pre-existing fame. It\u2019s also a third-person brawler \u2013 a genre that faded quickly as first person shooters became popular.\nYet, in spite of these potential issues, Batman: Arkham Asylum won numerous game of the year awards. Its smooth combat, excellent voice acting and varied gameplay makes it a title that is engaging from the first moment to the last boss fight. There\u2019s even an experience system that provides access to new moves and abilities.\nBatman: Arkham Asylum is $39.99 on Amazon.com.\nThis game is the latest effort of Team Meat, the two-man crew responsible for Super Meat Boy. You don\u2019t have to play The Binding of Issac long to see the shared lineage. Both games have a cartoonish-yet-disturbing graphical style and focus on fast-paced gameplay that will tax your reaction times.\nDon\u2019t mistake this as a re-make of Super Meat Boy, however. This is instead a rogue-like, which means that you\u2019ll be crawling numerous dungeons, fighting difficult enemies and dealing with perma-death. It\u2019s a game designed for the hardcore, but it\u2019s also a game that\u2019s instantly pleasing. You can jump in to this title, enjoy 20 minutes of adrenaline and then go about your business.\nThe Binding of Issac is $4.99 on Steam.\nAt first glance, Borderlands looks like a straight shooter. Play it for fifteen minutes, however, and you\u2019ll start to realize it\u2019s more of a mix of Diablo and Quake than a straight frag-fest.\nWhat do I mean like that? Well, you pick a class, each of which has slightly different abilities. You\u2019ll also gain access to randomly generated loot \u2013 heisting a nice new gun is half the point of the game. Finally, fights are longer than your typical modern shooter.\nBorderlands is also notable because of its art style. It borrows heavily from cartoons and comic books. There are other games which do this, of course, but the art style is particularly well executed in this title.\nBorderlands: Game of the Year edition (which includes some DLC content) is available for $29.99 on Amazon and the Mac App Store.\nWhat can I say about Counter-Strike? You\u2019ve probably heard of it already and you very well may have played it on PC years ago.\nIt\u2019s not just a PC title anymore, however. Ever since it made the leap to the Source engine it has been available for Mac. The gameplay is the same fast-paced frag-fest that put the mod on the map over a decade ago. Not everyone will enjoy it, but those with a thirst for hardcore shooter action will.\nCounter Strike: Source is available for $19.99 on Steam.\nThe shump (shoot-em-up The Top 5 Free Shoot 'Em Up Games The Top 5 Free Shoot 'Em Up Games Read More ) genre has been on life support for over a decade now, but there are occasional signs of life. Jamestown is the most recent, and it\u2019s excellent ode to older arcade games like Gradius and Raiden.\nJamestown places you in the role of a fugitive who has made his way to Mars in the late 1600\u2019s to try and escape the long arm of the law. Silly though it may sound, it provides the perfect excuse for the game\u2019s creative graphics.\nThere\u2019s nothing innovative about the gameplay mechanics, but the controls are tight and the level design excellent. Even beginners can cut their teeth on the lowest difficulty settings, but the hardest modes should provide a challenge for everyone. An enjoyable local co-op mode is available, though you\u2019ll need some additional Mac compatible controllers to play it.\nJamestown is only $9.99 on Steam.\nStar Wars: Jedi Knight Gold Pack\nIt\u2019s hard to keep track of all the games based off the Star Wars franchise, but the truly great ones are few in number. One stand-out is the Jedi Knight series, which was continued by Jedi Academy and Jedi Outcast (the original game unfortunately is not available for Mac).\nNeither game excels in any particular area but both provide an excellent blend of action, story and Star Wars goodness. They\u2019re a complete package, offering awesome lightsaber play and fun single-player campaigns.\nThis is an older title, so don\u2019t expect amazing graphics. You can buy the Gold Pack on Amazon for just $10. Some users have reported problems with OS X Lion, however. Versions compatible with Lion are available on the Mac App Store.\nLeft 4 Dead / Left 4 Dead 2\nIf you want a fun co-op multiplayer action game, look no further. Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2 represent a definitive experience in this genre.\nBoth games pit a cast of survivors against the zombie apocalypse in a host of carefully tailored missions. Each mission lasts about thirty minutes to an hour depending on the pace of the players and provides its own mini-story with unique objectives.\nThough there are some enhancements in Left 4 Dead 2, such as new zombie opponents, both titles are excellent and anyone who enjoys one game should pick up the other. But don\u2019t forget that this title focuses on co-op. Players looking for a single-player campaign should skip this one.\nLeft 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2 are available on Steam for $19.99.\nThis relatively new game blends old-school shoot-em-up gameplay and 8-bit graphics with MMORPG mechanics and a rogue-like attitude. It\u2019s an odd combo that produces a difficult but enjoyable game. You\u2019ll probably have more fun here than in any other free-to-play MMO.\nLoading up the game will quickly dump you into the role of a stereotypical wizard (other classes can be unlocked). There\u2019s not much story \u2013 your goal is simply to kill, loot, pillage and advance. While death is permanent, your fame is cumulative, allowing for advancement over time.\nRealm of the Mad God is free to play on Steam or on the developer\u2019s website. It\u2019s a multi-player game, so you can create adventuring parties with friends to fight of the game\u2019s wide variety of monsters.\nYou forgot about this one, right? I don\u2019t blame you. Tomb Raider\u2019s early success was squandered on increasingly lame sequels that forced most gamers to write the series off entirely. This excellent addition to the franchise was largely ignored as a result.\nIn response, Tomb Raider: Anniversary decides to go back to the game\u2019s roots. The levels are sometimes copied, sometimes inspired from the original game. This shifts the focus back to an action/platform puzzle mix rather than the gunplay focused gameplay found in Tomb Raider: Legend.\nThat might sound lame, but remember, Tomb Raider arrived over 15 years ago. Even if you did play the original you probably don\u2019t remember it well \u2013 and the levels have been renovated to accommodate new gameplay mechanics and better graphics.\nYou can purchase Tomb Raider: Anniversary for $29.95 from Amazon.\nThe titles here are a mix of action genres, from adventure-action (Tomb Raider) to old-school shoot-em-ups (Jamestown). Yet they all share a common bond. They\u2019re fun, easy to understand and difficult to master.\nDo you have a favorite action games for Mac that were missed here?

        "raw_content": "Home Opinions Standing Rock check-ins: slacktivism strikes again\nStanding Rock check-ins: slacktivism strikes again\nI woke up on Halloween morning and like any technology-addicted millennial, checked Facebook. One of my friends from middle school summer camp used Facebook\u2019s \u201ccheck-in\u201d feature to check in at Standing Rock Reservation, the location of the Dakota Access Pipeline protests. This surprised me; I had no idea they cared about the controversy, but I still thought it was great that they had traveled from Missouri to North Dakota to stand with the protestors.\nThen I kept scrolling and saw similar posts from friends I had thought were in Northfield, Chicago, Minneapolis and other locations around the country. I realized that my circle of acquaintances had not made a mass exodus to North Dakota when I read a clarifying post stating that protest groups were calling for supporters to simply check-in to Standing Rock to confuse local authorities who were using Facebook check-ins to monitor the protests.\nThe clarification post read, \u201cThis is concrete action that can protect people putting their bodies and well-beings on the line that we can do without leaving our homes.\u201d\nUnfortunately, it looks like this form of online activism may have been misguided, as no protest groups have actually claimed they requested such an act of protest. When the fact-checking website Snopes contacted the leaders of the Sacred Stone Camp, they said that there are so many different people involved in this movement that the request could have come from anybody.\n\u201cThere are many camps and points of contact, we can only verify that it did not originate from the Sacred Stone Camp [Facebook] page. We support the tactic, and think it is a great way to express solidarity,\u201d one of the leaders said.\nNeither the leaders of the movement nor the Morton County Sheriff\u2019s Office officials believed that the Facebook posts actually impeded law enforcement. However, it was made clear that Sacred Stone appreciated the solidarity demonstrated through these Facebook check-ins.\nExpressed solidarity for any movement is almost always appreciated. I\u2019m sure seeing virtual support for the cause feels great to protesters at Standing Rock, especially considering that they have faced mass arrests and police brutality. Virtual support is better than no support; nothing can change if people don\u2019t care. The problem is, people seem to think this is all one has to do to be an activist. Recently, it seems as though all Facebook users love and wish to make a difference, but nobody seems very willing to put in any real effort to do so.\nThis is why I believe solidarity is so popular right now, especially solidarity that takes place over social media. For some people, they feel that virtual solidarity is the least they can do to contribute to a movement or a cause. And that\u2019s fine, as solidarity is always much-appreciated. I\u2019m not going to criticize its expression. However, I believe that most of those expressing virtual solidarity likely have something more to give to the movements that we profess to care about. Sympathy and solidarity only take a movement so far. There are many concrete ways to support those at Standing Rock, from contributing to the camp\u2019s legal defense fund to calling the Army Corps of Engineers and demanding that they reverse the DAPL permit. But these courses of action require more of people, whether that be time or money.\nWe must confront the reality that social media activism alone has not proven to be an effective method of activism. To truly affect change at Standing Rock, we must log out of our Facebook accounts and find concrete ways to become involved. At the very least, I encourage people to do some of their own research before reposting a status about any given event. I don\u2019t mean to say that I\u2019m not just as guilty of this bare-minimum activism as anybody else. I too have shared videos, changed my Facebook profile picture and used hashtags without actually doing anything in the real world to contribute to tangible change. However, recent events, such as the check-ins at Standing Rock, have shown me that this has not and will likely never be enough. I personally resolve to do more true activism for the causes I care about. Will you join me?\nDylan Walker \u201918 (walker1@stolaf.edu) is from Mountian Grove, Mo.

        "raw_content": "The Facebook News Feed Update: What You Need to Know\nA couple weeks ago, Facebook dropped a virtual bomb on the Social Media Marketing community, and it\u2019s just a reminder that what happens in the real world often has consequences in the digital space as well.\nFacebook has made its fortune on the idea of keeping you connected with friends, family, and in more recent years brands and news sources that you care about, or as Facebook would describe it \u201chelping you find relevant content.\u201d\nThe 2016 election brought a new concept into the public lexicon\u2026 \u201cfake news.\u201d If you\u2019ve been living under a rock for the past 18 months, the concept of \u201cfake news\u201d is simple. Deliberately misleading content is created, often from dubious sources, and spread on the internet, primarily using social media, in an attempt to manipulate popular opinion.\nFacebook has been caught in the middle of a very public conversation about the role that social media companies play in the dissemination of \u201cfake news\u201d and it appears that Facebook has decided to do something about it.\nIn this post, we\u2019ll walk you through what Facebook is changing, why they are changing it, and what this means for your Social Media Marketing efforts.\nFacebook has taken a lot of heat for their role in spreading \u201cfake news\u201d and now they are changing the way that they populate your news feed in an apparent reaction to the phenomenon.\nAccording to Adam Mosseri, Head of News Feed for Facebook:\n\u201cWith this update, we will also prioritize posts that spark conversations and meaningful interactions between people. To do this, we will predict which posts you might want to interact with your friends about, and show these posts higher in feed. These are posts that inspire back-and-forth discussion in the comments and posts that you might want to share and react to\u2014whether that\u2019s a post from a friend seeking advice, a friend asking for recommendations for a trip, or a news article or video prompting lots of discussion.\nThat last sentence is a doozy. He is eluding to the fact that breaking into the news feed of your audience just got even harder than it already was. In fact, he goes on to say it outright:\nBoom, virtual bomb dropped.\nHe does go on to say that highly engaging content will see less of a decrease than content that is less likely to create engagement or \u201cspark a conversation.\u201d\nThe bottom line is that the change effectively means that the content that you post for your business on Facebook is likely to be seen by fewer eyeballs than before.\nWhy is Facebook doing this?\nYou may, rightfully, be asking yourself why Facebook would do this when their main source of revenue is from business owners like yourself.\nIt appears that Mark Zuckerberg has had a change of heart where \u201cfake news\u201d is concerned. His initial reaction to the controversy was that it was a \u201cpretty crazy idea.\u201d\nRolling out this change and being rather frank about it\u2019s impact to their advertiser base, signals that Facebook is taking the issue more seriously now.\nOf course, Facebook may have other motives for making the change. The less altruistic explanation stems from the fact that Facebook has, for years, claimed that they are not a media company and should not be regulated as one.\nDespite their instance to the contrary, Facebook faces a lot of pressure from regulators in the U.S. and overseas regarding the company\u2019s role in disseminating information and the growing evidence that it\u2019s leading to higher levels of depression, isolation, and device addition.\nThis decision to change the way they populate your news feed could come from an altruistic desire to lessen the negative impacts that their platform has on the public, or it could come in the form of a preemptive attempt to avoid future regulatory burdens. Either way, it\u2019s happening.\nWhat does this mean for your Social Media Marketing efforts?\nI\u2019ve been following this pretty closely. I\u2019ve read up on the subject, watched interviews, and watched closely how leading marketers are reacting to the news.\nMost of what I\u2019ve read expresses a pretty negative outlook, specifically for any business hoping to use Facebook as a marketing platform. With headlines like \u201cThe Real Losers In The News Feed Update Are Brands And Small Businesses,\u201d you\u2019d think Facebook just booted everyone off their platform.\nI think it\u2019s important that we pump the breaks a bit before jumping to the conclusion that this is somehow the end of marketing on Facebook.\nIt\u2019s important that we avoid the mad rush for the doors and instead focus on how to play the game better. After all, there is much more to Social Media Marketing than simply posting on Facebook.\nIn the coming months, watch how your engagement changes. Keep an eye on your KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) like Audience Growth, Audience Engagement, and Content Reach. You may see declines in some areas while you see increases in others. It\u2019s just too early to tell where the chips will fall from this change, just stay calm and post on.\nAt the end of the day, not a whole lot has changed. Sure, Facebook is prioritizing other content above your marketing efforts, but that\u2019s not new. Anyone who has spent even a small amount of time using Facebook to market their business knows that the real challenge is creating content that is clear, concise, engaging, and most importantly effective. This new feed priority chips, both from an algorithmic and human nature standpoint, have been stacked against you from day one.\nIf you want to market your business on Facebook successfully, you aren\u2019t going to get there by simply putting out ads all the time or posting only self-congratulatory posts. Those weren\u2019t engaging before the change, and they aren\u2019t engaging now.\nFocus your attention on creating and distributing content that is geared towards engagement, and you will probably fare just fine. Who knows, this change may ultimately help to remedy the white noise effect that hurts even the best of Social Media Marketers. You may find that your content outperforms your competitors by an even greater margin.\nThis change is a big one; there\u2019s no doubt about it. But with every setback is a hidden opportunity for advancement. Focus on creating good, real, conversation-sparking posts that cast your brand in a good light and this change could very well lead to better results from your Social Media Marketing efforts.\nIf you\u2019re a small to mid-sized business, it may sound like a daunting task to invest so much time and energy into your efforts. Focus on what you know, and in the areas where you aren\u2019t the expert, seek one out.\nThere are plenty of social media marketing firms that specialize in the small to mid-sized market that can help you grow your online presence and make the most of your social media marketing efforts.",

        "raw_content": "Show us your history: Holyoke library to record Puerto Ricans', other Latinos' stories\nhist3.JPG\nEileen Crosby, archivist in the History Room of the Holyoke Public Library, on Monday, Sept. 19, 2016 discussed a key event regarding Puerto Rican history set for Saturday: The library will scan photos, letters and other mementos of Puerto Ricans and other Latinos in the city to add their histories to the library's permanent collection at a free event on Saturday, Sept. 24, 2016 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Enlace de Familias/Holyoke Family Network at 299-301 Main St. (MIKE PLAISANCE / THE REPUBLICAN)\nHOLYOKE -- The Latino population in Holyoke now measures roughly half the city and many were born in or have ties to Puerto Rico, but while the official city history largely lacks their story, that will change beginning Saturday.\nIndividuals and families with connections to Puerto Rico and other Latinos -- as well as social clubs and other organizations -- are invited to bring photographs, letters and other mementos to be recorded for the permanent collection of the Holyoke Public Library's History Room.\nThe free event is called \"Nuestros Senderos: Our Journeys and Our Lives in Holyoke.\" It is from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Enlace de Familias/Holyoke Family Network at 299-301 Main St.\n\"We're taking the event off site to sort of signal our commitment, to show that we really are interested in the community,\" Eileen Crosby, the library's History Room archivist and director of the project, said today.\n\"We have almost nothing documenting the Puerto Rican diaspora in Holyoke. My understanding is because we never had a Latino archivist, we never connected with the community as we should,\" she said.\nDiaspora means the movement of a population from its original homeland.\nOften a family's photos, letters and other items tell important stories about how an individual or a group influenced the city. But such pieces of history can get lost in an attic or stuffed in a cabinet at the home of the \"historian\" of a family or a club, Crosby said.\n\"So that's part of the idea, to raise awareness that what people are holding onto does have historical value,\" Crosby said.\nThe library has received a $12,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to fund the project.\nThe event is by drop-in with no advance registration necessary. Photos, letters and other items will be scanned digitally at no cost. Participants will get originals back along with a digital copy of the items and the scanned copies will go into the History Room's permanent collection for research use by the public, she said.\nThese will form the core of a new online digital collection of Holyoke Latino History, Crosby said.\nThe maximum size of a photograph or other item that can be scanned is 8.5 inches by 11 inches. Items must be either a photo or a document, as the event won't be equipped to scan slides or negatives, she said.\nPhotographs that show a family's home town in Puerto Rico also are welcome, she said.\n\"The emphasis is on what's important to them,\" she said.\nFolks who attend the event will be greeted and asked to complete forms including a release permitting the Holyoke Public Library to use the names and images that will be scanned, she said.\nThen, participants will meet with reviewers who will help determine which photos and documents to scan, she said.\nAlso, participants at the event will have the option of sitting with an oral historian who will ask questions and videotape them to enhance the documentation, she said.\nThe process will take 30 to 45 minute. Crosby said the library appreciates such participation because documenting the Puerto Rican and Latino history in Holyoke is important.\n\"There's a lot of local history, but it's in private hands,\" she said.\nAbout two dozen employees and volunteers have been helping with the project, including outreach coordinator Teresita Castano, who has spread word about the project at events around the city, and Penni Martorell, historian and curator at Wistariahurst Museum here, she said.\nAfter Saturday's event, Crosby and her team will follow up with six families, two of which already have been identified, to conduct deeper documentation. In the spring, possibly in May, scholars will speak at an event to place the Holyoke participants' stories in historical context, she said.\nThe scholars set to discuss the Holyoke Latinos' histories are scheduled to be Harry Franqui-Rivera, a historian and researcher at the Center for Puerto Rican Studies at Hunter College in New York City, and Joel Blanco-Rivera, assistant professor at the Graduate School of Information Sciences and Technologies at the University of Puerto Rico, she said.\nTo help with the project or for more information, contact the History Room at 413-420-8107 or historyroom@holyokelibrary.org",

        "raw_content": "Home > Our Services > Orthopedics > Conditions > Arthritis\nArthritis, meaning joint inflammation, encompasses more than 100 different diseases, most commonly causing pain, stiffness, and swelling in or around the joints. Affecting one in three Americans\u2014old and young alike\u2014this long-term problem can make it difficult to perform daily activities; this disabling can result in psychological as well as physical issues.\nThe specialists at MedStar Orthopaedic Institute, however, can help you find ways to reduce pain and keep moving. Our orthopedic and rheumatology teams work with your primary care physician to provide the best possible diagnosis and treatment for your arthritis\u2014so that you can get on with the business of living with minimum pain and maximum mobility.\nArthritis Risk Factors\nMost arthritis results from years of accumulated wear and tear on joints, and tends to occur in the elderly in hips, knees, and finger joints. Other risk factors are obesity, a history of trauma, and various genetic and metabolic diseases. Although arthritis is mainly a disease of adults, children also may have it. It also affects women nearly three times as often as men.\nJoint pain and/or swelling\nInability to move the joint\nUnexplained weight loss, fever or weakness that occurs with joint pain\nMedStar Orthopaedic Institute is a pioneering force in the field of arthritis. We know a proper diagnosis is the first step in helping patients live without pain. That is why we take a multidisciplinary team approach to every patient right from the start.\nTo accurately diagnose arthritis, a physician will take a complete medical history, complete a physical examination that evaluates any symptoms, take X-rays to determine joint damage, and possibly perform other laboratory and blood tests to determine the exact type of arthritis and its severity.\nA wide variety of treatments are available for arthritis, and your team atMedStar Orthopaedic Institute will customize the treatment plan that best suits your symptoms and situation.\nTreatment plans often include\nApplying heat and/or cold to the site\nConsciously alternating activity with rest\nLearning to use joints correctly (ex: using your palms rather than your fingers to carry groceries)\nLosing excess weight to reduce pressure on the joints\nWalkers, canes, and other assistive devices\nIt's important to remember that arthritis doesn't mean an inactive lifestyle. Inactivity can weaken and stiffen the muscles surrounding the joints and impair your joints permanently.\nWhen certain treatments fail, an orthopaedic surgeon will perform surgery to help reduce the pain. Surgery may be used to realign joints or to remove the joint lining which has become damaged or pulled out of place due to the wearing away of cartilage and bone.\nIn joint replacement, also called arthroplasty, the physician replaces the joint with metal or plastic parts. Joint replacement has been especially effective with hips and knees, and has also been used for shoulders, ankles, elbows, and knuckles.\nOsteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis and often the most destructive. It's a degenerative joint disease, gradually wearing away the cartilage surrounding the joint, that occurs equally in men and women and often appears in athletes who have had many joint injuries in their past. Contributing factors include age, heredity, and excess weight, lack of exercise, and injury or trauma.\nThe hands, hips, knees, neck, and lower back are often affected by this condition, and, in most cases, just one joint is affected (as opposed to rheumatoid arthritis, where both sides of the joint are affected). However, spinal osteoarthritis is the most common type, presenting symptoms that include debilitating neck and low-back pain, accompanied by tingling and numbness in the arms or legs.\nRegardless of the cause, osteoarthritis conditions are often chronic and require good diagnosis and proper posture, daily exercise, and anti-inflammatory medications as part of a good treatment plan. Surgery to repair or replace joints is often necessary in severe cases\nOsteomyelitis is an acute or chronic bone infection. It most commonly occurs after open fractures or after closed injuries have been treated surgically; patients usually have a history of prolonged debilitation and multiple surgical procedures.\nThe orthopaedic specialists atMedStar Orthopaedic Institute will use a combined approach of surgical, reconstructive, and therapeutic techniques to treat osteomyelitis. Through a combination of specialists and state-of-the-art techniques, the chance of cure from chronic osteomyelitis, with good return of limb function, is significantly increased.\nOsteonecrosis, also called avascular necrosis, is a type of arthritic bone disorder that causes decreased blood supply to the affected area. This decreased circulation causes cells in the bone and bone marrow to die, which may cause bones to collapse. When bones are fractured or dislocated, they can block or damage arteries in the area, leading to osteonecrosis. Symptoms include\nOsteonecrosis usually occurs in large joints such as the ankles, knees, hips, and shoulders. It's more prevalent in people between the ages of 30 and 50, and most commonly affects the hip. Osteonecrosis of the knee occurs more often in women between ages 50 and 60. People with certain fractures of the hip; alcoholics; those taking certain steroids; and individuals with sickle cell anemia, lupus, or pancreatic conditions are at a higher risk for developing osteonecrosis.\nDiagnosis is very important in its earliest stages so MedStar Health specialists can provide the best individual treatment plan. Surgery may be recommended when patients have lost function in their joint or have unmanageable pain.\nAlthough rheumatoid arthritis can be a serious disease, many treatment options help reduce its severity and longevity in every individual. We work to assist patients in leading lives with more mobility, activity, and tolerance.\nLearn more about rheumatoid arthritis treatments, as well as MedStar Orthopaedic Institute\u2019s rheumatology experts who are specially trained and equipped to diagnose and treat diseases of the joints, muscles, and bones.\nPain may stop people from moving, walking, climbing stairs, bathing, working, or playing. It can interfere with thinking and concentration, or even with being close to other people. When pain interferes with sleep, mood, or appetite, it can affect all parts of your life, especially when it lasts a long time. And pain that won't go away can change the way you feel about yourself and others.\nTo get treatment that will alleviate your pain, it is important that your physician understand precisely what you are feeling. But, because only the person with pain knows what it is like, describing pain is the key to understanding pain. Describing pain is not easy, however, so we\u2019ve put together this guide to help you\u2014so you can get the relief you need.\nDescribing Pain\nOne of the best ways to measure pain and pain relief is to use a rating scale. Rating pain using a scale makes your pain easier for others to understand.\nExample: 0 to 10 scale\nThe person rates the pain from zero (0), meaning no pain, to ten (10), meaning the worst pain possible. When using a numerical scale of 0 to 10, pain ratings of 5 or above mean that pain limits activities for most people.\nWords Scale\nExamples: no pain, a little pain, a lot of pain, aching, burning, annoying, uncomfortable, dreadful, horrible, agonizing\nThese words mean different things to different people. Annoying pain for one person may be dreadful to another. Because of this, the words must be defined: everyone involved must use the same words and know their meaning.\nDiscussing Pain\nDon't be afraid to talk about your pain\u2014describing how pain limits your life will help your doctor or nurse set goals with you for dealing with your pain. Each time you see your doctor tell them\nWhere the pain is.\nDoes it hurt in more than one place?\nDoes the pain feel like it's on the inside or on the outside of your body?\n(It may help to indicate these places on a drawing of the outline of a body.)\nWhen the pain starts.\nWhen does the pain happen?\nDoes the pain come and go or is it there all the time?\nWhat helps to relieve the pain.\nWhat have you tried to relieve the pain?\nRelaxation, meditation, heat, cold, mild exercise, etc.\nList all over-the-counter medications you take and what medicines have been prescribed for you by another doctor. Some medicines can't be taken together, and medicines with different names may contain the same chemicals and could be harmful if too much is taken.\nWhat makes the pain worse.\nAny changes in pain.\nIs this pain new?\nHave you ever had this pain before?\nAny changes in mobility or function.\nWhat activities does it keep you from doing?\nDoes the pain interrupt your sleep?\nDoes the pain change your mood?\nDoes the pain affect your appetite?\nFamily members and friends can help if you're not able to write your own pain assessment. Bring a family member or friend along for doctor's visits. Let them help you tell others about your pain and pain relief.\nLiving with arthritis pain can be difficult. The specialists atMedStar Orthopaedic Institute want to help. Here are a few things you can try on your own to help though the pain:\nMake sure you get a good night's sleep (8-10 hours a night). When you are well-rested, you have more energy to get well, to enjoy life, and to do the things that are important to you.\nKeep a pain assessment notebook.\nFind the physician who is right for you.\nEmmanuel Asare O.

        "raw_content": "Ablative Skin Resurfacing Market \u2013An Objective Assessment Of The Trajectory Of The Market\nThe global ablative skin resurfacing devices market can be segmented according to laser type, source, application, end-user, and region. According to laser type, the market is segmented into fully ablative lasers and fractional ablative lasers. On the basis of source, the market is divided into carbon dioxide (C02) lasers and erbium:yttrium-aluminium-garnet (Er:YAG) lasers. On the basis of application, the market is segmented into acne scarring, traumatic and surgical scars, benign skin tumors, warts, fine lines or wrinkles, xanthelasma, rhinophyma, and others. In terms of end-user, the market is segmented into dermatology clinics, beauty centers and spas, and hospitals. On the basis of geography, the ablative skin resurfacing devices market is distributed over North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa.\nGlobally, North America accounts for a high share of the market in terms of revenue followed by Europe. The markets in emerging countries such as China, South Korea, Brazil, and India are expected to grow significantly over the next five years; however, North America and Europe are projected to continue to dominate the market. North America is at the forefront of esthetic innovation. This is due to a majority of both established and emerging esthetic companies which are headquartered in the region or have a significant esthetic corporate presence. The marketing approvals of the FDA act as a guidepost for the country\u2019s own decision-making processes. The high market share of the region is attributed to the higher disposable income than that of other regions and high prevalence and incidence rate of certain conditions such as acne and rosacea.\nPrevious: Global Laser Marker Market Survey 2018\nNext: Nd Yag Laser Can Be Used For Skin Treatment",

Nola, the organization's first-round pick out of LSU just over a year ago, made his Major League debut against the Rays. And he didn't disappoint, allowing just one run in his six innings. Fifteen of Nola's 18 outs came on strikeouts or ground balls. The spoiler alert is that the Phils lost, 1-0.\nNow, Major League debuts are like Opening Days. They're a lot of fun. And they almost never turn out to be as significant as they seem at the time.\nStill, it's hard to overstate what a crucial piece Nola plays in the puzzle the Phillies are trying to assemble.\nOne start doesn't make a career. But that doesn't mean that what Nola did Tuesday night, and what he'll do the rest of the season, aren't vital to the ongoing reconstruction project the organization has undertaken.\nThink about it this way: Nola is already the 12th pitcher to start a game for the Phils this season. And, right now, you'd have to say he's the best bet of any of them to be in the rotation when the slate is wiped clean and the 2016 season begins.\nAce Cole Hamels is widely expected to be traded before the July 31 non-waiver Trade Deadline. Aaron Harang and Chad Billingsley were low-risk, high-reward gambles when they were signed in the offseason; Harang faded after a hot start and then went on the disabled list, while Billingsley has been unable to stay healthy.\nJerome Williams has so far been unable to replicate the success he had for the Phillies last year after being released by the Astros and waived by the Rangers. Dustin McGowan was signed after being released by the Dodgers, and Kevin Correia was brought aboard after being released by the Giants. Sean O'Sullivan had a 6.08 ERA in 13 starts. All are currently on Triple-A Lehigh Valley's roster.\nPhillippe Aumont has left the building. And the organization, after declining an outright assignment to the IronPigs. Youngsters Adam Morgan, Severino Gonzalez and David Buchanan have promise, but none have shown enough yet to be written into the 2016 rotation in ink.\nSure, trades could change that picture. Free agent signings, too. And there are some pitchers down below, including Zach Eflin at Double-A Reading, that the baseball people are bullish on.\nMaybe, could be, possibly. It might not be fair to project a starring role next season for a 22-year-old who wasn't even a non-roster invitee to big league camp this spring. It might be a gigantic leap to suggest that after one big league start, Nola jumps to the top of the list. But dealing strictly with the known commodities on hand, it's difficult to reach any other conclusion.\nVideo: TB@PHI: Nola collects first Major League K in the 1st\nBesides, everything the Phils do these days matters less about the here and now than what the projected impact might be moving forward.\nRuben Amaro Jr. tempered his remarks, which is prudent.\n\"He represents the kind of things we're trying to do,\" the general manager said, \"which is trying to get our young players to the big leagues and find out about them. We think he's going to be a good, solid Major League pitcher. And he got off to a great start. I'm happy for him. I'm sure it was nerve-wracking for him and his family. It's just unfortunate we couldn't get any runs for him.\"\nVeteran outfielder Jeff Francoeur, who's seen a lot of young pitchers come and go, was impressed.\n\"I would imagine he'd be No. 2, No. 3 next year behind Cole, if Cole's here, and whatever else they do,\" the 31-year-old outfielder said. \"But he's got great stuff, and it looks like he's got a good head on his shoulders. So for all of us, it was fun to see. You're always happy for guys like that.\"\nCameron Rupp, who caught Nola, noted that a performance like this is another reason to have hope for the future. And he also liked the electricity that ran through the park.\n\"He's exciting. And fans think he's exciting, too,\" Rupp said. \"That makes it even better. People come. We want to play in front of a lot of people. So I think that's huge.\"",

        "raw_content": "From Classic stars to All-Stars\nThe 2017 WBC All-Tournament Team features a who's who of past and future All-Stars\nBy Allison Duffy-Davis MLB.com\nThe World Baseball Classic represents a unique dichotomy. On one hand, it allows players from obscure baseball federations, such as Pakistan and Israel, to compete against MLB's leading men. On the other hand, it provides a forum for countries with rich baseball backgrounds, like Japan and Puerto Rico, to put forth a team full of world beaters.\nThis year, after all was said and done, 12 players from six of the tournament's 16 teams distinguished themselves as the best of the best. And now, with the MLB All-Star Game in sight, let's look back upon the 2017 WBC All-Tournament Team, which includes a who's who of past and future All-Stars:\nC: Yadier Molina (STL), Team Puerto Rico\nMolina represented the National League in seven straight Midsummer Classics from 2009-15 and his country in all four WBCs to date. He smacked a pair of WBC homers this March before starting his 14th MLB season.\n1B: Eric Hosmer (KC), Team USA\nVideo: 2016 ASG: Hosmer homers, collects two RBIs\nA first-time All-Star in 2016 -- not to mention the game's MVP -- Hosmer came through in the clutch for Team USA with a game-winning homer against Venezuela in the second round.\n2B: Javier Baez (CHC), Team Puerto Rico\nOne of five All-WBC Team honorees to represent Puerto Rico, the dynamic Baez scored four runs and knocked in five more for the runners-up. Surprisingly, the infielder won a World Series ring before he ever earned an All-Star nod -- he debuted in August 2014 and played only the final 28 games of the 2015 season before recording his first full campaign last year -- but he's still just 24 and is poised to reach his first Midsummer Classic this year.\n3B: Carlos Correa (HOU), Team Puerto Rico\nCorrea, who cites his participation in the Classic as \"the proudest moment of my baseball career,\" moved to third to accommodate Lindor for the tourney and didn't miss a beat, crushing three longballs. With his first All-Star Game selection on the line, though, he was outpacing Lindor by several hundred thousand votes heading into the final weekend.\nSS: Francisco Lindor (CLE), Team Puerto Rico\nVideo: Lindor pumped to compete for Puerto Rico in finals\nLindor homered twice in his team's second game and reached base at a .419 clip for the tournament. The reigning American League champion played in both his first All-Star Game and World Series in 2016, and he is likely to be in Miami at least as a reserve for the Junior Circuit.\nOF: Wladimir Balentien, Team Netherlands\nThe Curacao native, who played 170 Major League games from 2007-09, boasted a Classic-best four home runs in just 26 at-bats.\nOF: Gregory Polanco (PIT), Team D.R.\nThe outfielder ranked second only to Balentien in batting average for the duration of the tournament with a .579 mark.\nOF: Christian Yelich (MIA), Team USA\nYelich, who played in his home park in the first round of the 2017 WBC, smacked four doubles and finished with a .310 average and .375 OBP, ranking third among Team USA's regulars in both categories. The NL outfield is deep, but Yelich will represent the hometown Marlins at least as an All-Star Ambassador.\nDH: Carlos Beltran (HOU), Team Puerto Rico\nVideo: ITA@PUR: Beltran plates Correa with double to left\nLike Molina, Beltran is another WBC regular and perennial All-Star. He batted .435 in the tournament before celebrating his 40th birthday.\nP: Marcus Stroman (TOR), Team USA\nStroman was named the 2017 World Baseball Classic MVP after he earned the win in Team USA's title clincher, and he's built upon that performance, making a case for a spot on the AL All-Star team with solid first-half numbers. Japan's Kodai Senga and Israel's Josh Zeid (MiLB) also garnered pitching commendations for their work throughout the Classic.\nThis article appears in the 2017 MLB Official All-Star Game Program.

        "raw_content": "Peralta's next step unclear after latest rehab start\nRight-hander strong in Double-A, but may need another outing before return\nMILWAUKEE -- Brewers officials must decide whether Wily Peralta's next pitch is in the Major Leagues or the Minors after the right hander worked five innings for Double-A Biloxi on Tuesday in his third rehabilitation start.\nManager Craig Counsell couldn't yet commit to a next step for Peralta, who has been on the disabled list since the final week of May with a strained left oblique.\n\"It's getting there,\" Counsell said. \"We're going to have to have those conversations. But we haven't as of yet.\"\nPeralta threw 74 pitches and allowed one run on three hits, with a walk and five strikeouts. The Brewers could bring him back to start during the team's upcoming road trip to Arizona and San Francisco, or leave him in the Minors for one more outing, buying time to figure out how to fit him into a crowded starting rotation.\nOpening a spot for Peralta could be complicated. Rookie right-hander Taylor Jungmann is 5-1 with a 2.04 ERA since being recalled from Triple-A, and it is difficult to see the Brewers sending him back down. Likewise, Mike Fiers has a 2.25 ERA in July, and Jimmy Nelson has a 3.32 ERA for the month. Both are earning salaries near the minimum and are considered part of the Brewers' future.\nThat leaves veterans Matt Garza and Kyle Lohse. Garza returned from the disabled list to start against the Indians on Tuesday and pitched six scoreless innings to lower his ERA to 5.23. He's signed for two more seasons, and would be difficult to move. Lohse, a free agent at season's end, is 5-10 with a 6.17 ERA entering his Wednesday start against the Indians.\nIf the Brewers give Peralta one more Minor League start to build up his pitch count, it would bide some time.\n\"That's what we have to figure out,\" Counsell said.",

        "raw_content": "Name: Norman Borlaug\nA.K.A.: Full name Norman Ernest Borlaug. A.K.A. Father of the Green Revolution\nIn brief: Norman Borlaug trains in plant pathology and genetics. In 1944 he joins a research program to develop hybrid strains of wheat that are high-yielding, robust and disease-resistant. The new strains reverse a collapse of the Mexican wheat harvest caused by a fungal disease. Similar techniques are used to develop high-yielding and robust strains of rice and maize. In the 1960s, Borlaug takes his techniques to India and Pakistan. The so-called Green Revolution nearly doubles food production in the subcontinent and saves up to one billion lives. Borlaug wins the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970\nCitation: Harris, Bruce. Sydney, Australia. 'Norman Borlaug Hero file'. moreorless.net.au. https://www.moreorless.net.au/heroes/borlaug.html. Last updated 22 January 2018\nDuring the second half of the 20th Century growth in world population threatens to outstrip food production and lead to widespread famine. The concern is spotlighted by noted biologist Paul Ehrlich in his 1968 book 'The Population Bomb'.\n\"Americans are beginning to realise that the underdeveloped countries of the world face an inevitable population-food crisis,\" Ehrlich writes.\n\"Each year food production in these countries falls a bit further behind burgeoning population growth, and people go to bed a little bit hungrier. While there are temporary or local reversals of this trend, it now seems inevitable that it will continue to its logical conclusion: mass starvation. The rich may continue to get richer, but the more numerous poor are going to get poorer. Of these poor, a minimum of 10 million people, most of them children, will starve to death during each year of the 1970s. But this is a mere handful compared to the numbers that will be starving before the end of the century. And it is now too late to take action to save many of those people.\"\nBorn on 25 March 1914 in Saude, near Cresco, Iowa. Borlaug is the son of Norwegian immigrant farmers. He is the eldest of four children. Borlaug works on the family farm until he is 19.\n1933 - After graduating from Cresco High School, Borlaug enlists in the National Youth Administration, one of the New Deal agencies set up by the Roosevelt administration to address the fallout from the Great Depression.\nHe later wins a place at the University of Minnesota. He studies forestry science and works periodically for US Forestry Service to help pay for his education.\n1937 - Borlaug completes his degree in forestry. When a full-time job in the Forestry Service falls through he enrols in a graduate program headed by plant pathologist Elvin Charles Stakman. He obtains a masters degree in 1940 and a PhD in plant pathology and genetics in 1942.\nFrom 1942 to 1944 Borlaug works as a microbiologist at DuPont chemicals company, developing industrial and agricultural bactericides, fungicides and preservatives.\nMeanwhile, he marries Margaret Gibson. The couple have a daughter, Jeanie, and a son, William. A second son, Scotty, is born with spina bifida and dies in childhood.\n1944 - Borlaug joins the Cooperative Wheat Research and Production Program, a project between the Mexican Government and the Rockefeller Foundation. Mexico's wheat harvest has been halved by a fungal disease, forcing and the country to import more than half of its grain. The program seeks to reverse this decline. It is directed by Borlaug's mentor, Elvin Stakman, along with J. George Harrar, also a plant pathologist.\nBorlaug is at first disheartened by what he finds in Mexico. \"These places I've seen have clubbed my mind - they are so poor and depressing,\" he writes his wife. \"I don't know what we can do to help these people, but we've got to do something.\"\nOver the next 10 years Borlaug selects and cross-pollinates wheat from around the world to develop high-yielding, robust and disease-resistant hybrid strains suitable for cropping in a variety of climates. The new strains when combined with intensive crop management practices allow three or four times as much wheat to be grown on the same amount of land.\nHigh-yielding strains of rice and maize are later developed using similar techniques.\nBy 1956 Mexico is self-sufficient in wheat. By 1963 its wheat harvest is six times larger than in 1944.\nHowever, the high yields are dependent on the liberal use of chemical fertilisers and pesticides, requirements that are later called into question by environmentalists and lead to a reevaluation of Borlaug's legacy.\n1960 - The Rockefeller Foundation backs the creation of a centre devoted to the development of high-yield rice, the International Rice Research Institute, near Manila in the Philippines. The first strain is released by the Institute in 1966. It doubles the yield from rice fields.\nMeanwhile, Borlaug takes his techniques to India and Pakistan. The so-called Green Revolution nearly doubles food production in the subcontinent between 1965 and 1970. Pakistan is a self-sufficient wheat producer by 1968. India reaches self-sufficiency a few years later. By 1974 India is self-sufficient in all cereals. Food production in both countries outpaces population growth.\nThe Green Revolution spreads across the globe, with China becoming one of its spectacular success stories.\nBetween 1950 and 1992 world grain production increases 2.8 times, while world population increases only 2.2 times and the area of land cropped rises only one percent.\nIt is estimated that the Green Revolution saves the lives of up to one billion people who may have otherwise starved.\n\"Without high-yield agriculture,\" Borlaug says, \"either millions would have starved or increases in food output would have been realised through drastic expansion of acres under cultivation - losses of pristine land a hundred times greater than all losses to urban and suburban expansion.\"\n1966 - The Mexican Government and the Rockefeller Foundation establish the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Centre (CIMMYT) in Mexico City, an offshoot of the Cooperative Wheat Research and Production Program.\nBorlaug is appointed director of the centre's wheat improvement program. He trains more than 2,000 scientists from 20 countries.\n1970 - Borlaug wins the Nobel Peace Prize.\n\"More than any other single person of this age, he has helped provide bread for a hungry world,\" Mrs Aase Lionaes, Chairman of the Nobel Committee, says. \"We have made this choice in the hope that providing bread will also give the world peace.\"\n\"It has been established beyond doubt that (Dr Borlaug's) efforts have made possible an unequalled increase in wheat production and an improvement in quality that have postponed a crisis that a great many scientists have predicted would be the result of the growing gap between the population explosion and food production.\"\nBorlaug acknowledges that the breakthroughs of the Green Revolution were not due to his efforts alone.\n\"When the Nobel Peace Prize Committee designated me the recipient of the 1970 award for my contribution to the Green Revolution, they were in effect, I believe, selecting an individual to symbolise the vital role of agriculture and food production in a world that is hungry, both for bread and for peace,\" he says in his Nobel lecture.\n\"I am but one member of a vast team made up of many organisations, officials, thousands of scientists, and millions of farmers - mostly small and humble - who for many years have been fighting a quiet, oftentimes losing war on the food production front.\"\nBorlaug also warns of the \"magnitude and menace\" of the \"Population Monster\".\n\"The Green Revolution has won a temporary success in man's war against hunger and deprivation; it has given man a breathing space,\" he says. \"If fully implemented, the revolution can provide sufficient food for sustenance during the next three decades. But the frightening power of human reproduction must also be curbed; otherwise the success of the green revolution will be ephemeral only.\"\n1977 - Borlaug is awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest award bestowed by the US Government.\n1979 - Borlaug officially retires as director of the wheat improvement program at CIMMYT, though he continues to serve as a senior consultant to the centre.\n1984 - He is appointed as Distinguished Professor of International Agriculture in the Department of Soil and Crop Science at Texas A&M University.\n1986 - Borlaug attempts to bring his techniques to sub-Saharan Africa. He is appointed president of the Sasakawa Africa Association, a private Japanese foundation working to achieve food security for the region. However, due to on-ground political and social instability, lack of infrastructure and lobbying by Western environmentalists, the program is only partially successful.\n\"World Bank fear of green political pressure in Washington became the single biggest obstacle to feeding Africa,\" Borlaug says.\n\"Some of the environmental lobbyists of the Western nations are the salt of the earth, but many of them are elitists. They've never experienced the physical sensation of hunger. They do their lobbying from comfortable office suites in Washington or Brussels. If they lived just one month amid the misery of the developing world, as I have for 50 years, they'd be crying out for tractors and fertiliser and irrigation canals and be outraged that fashionable elitists back home were trying to deny them these things.\"\nMeanwhile, Borlaug establishes the World Food Prize, an annual award to recognise \"achievements of individuals who have advanced human development by improving the quality, quantity or availability of food in the world\".\n2000 - Borlaug returns to the Nobel Institute in Oslo to present a lecture marking the 30th anniversary of his Nobel Peace Prize.\n\"Despite the successes of the Green Revolution, the battle to ensure food security for hundreds of millions of miserably poor people is far from won,\" he warns.\n\"For the genetic improvement of food crops to continue at a pace sufficient to meet the needs of the 8.3 billion people projected in 2025, both conventional breeding and biotechnology methodologies will be needed. ...\n\"While the affluent nations can certainly afford to adopt ultra low-risk positions, and pay more for food produced by the so-called 'organic' methods, the one billion chronically undernourished people of the low income, food-deficit nations cannot. ...\n\"As Kenyan archaeologist Richard Leakey likes to reminds us, 'you have to be well-fed to be a conservationist!' We need to bring common sense into the debate on agricultural science and technology and the sooner the better!\"\nBorlaug also advocates the use of genetically modified crops. \"You can philosophise about this but I've been in the field for a long time and I believe genetically modified food crops will stop world hunger,\" he says in 2002.\n\"I recognise the value of crops created by traditional plant breeding but I also see the viability of crops that carry an herbicide-resistant gene or whatever gene is incorporated by biotechnology.\"\n2006 - The Rockefeller Foundation and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation establish the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa. The alliance aims to work with governments in Africa to increase food security and reduce poverty.\n2007 - Borlaug's wife, Margaret, dies on 8 March.\nOn 17 July Borlaug is presented with the Congressional Gold Medal, the highest civilian honour of the US. The citation for the award reads, \"Mr Borlaug has saved more lives than any other person who has ever lived\".\nSpeaking at the presentation, Borlaug returns to the debate about the environmental impacts of intensive farming. \"Critics of modern agricultural technology invariably turn a blind eye on what the world would have been like without the technological advances that have occurred, largely during the past 50 years,\" he says.\n\"For those whose main concern is protecting the 'environment,' let's look at the positive impact that the application of science-based technology has had on land use. If the global cereal yields of 1950 still prevailed in 2000 we would have needed nearly 1.2 billion hectares of additional land of the same quality - instead of the 660 million hectares that was used - to achieve the global harvest of that year. Obviously, such a surplus of land was not available, and certainly not in populous Asia, where the population had increased from 1.2 to 3.8 billion over this period. Moreover, if more environmentally fragile land had been brought into agricultural production, the impact on soil erosion, loss of forests and grasslands, biodiversity and extinction of wildlife species would have been enormous and disastrous.\"\n2009 - Borlaug dies of lymphoma at his home in Dallas, Texas, on 12 September.\nThe dire prediction by Paul Ehrlich in 1968 that \"a minimum of 10 million people, most of them children, will starve to death during each year of the 1970s\" never came to pass. For this we have to thank the high-yield crops and intensive farming techniques developed by Norman Borlaug and his colleagues.\nBut while Green Revolution techniques are now standard agricultural practice throughout most of world, they are not without their critics.\nIt has been said that the Green Revolution has succeeded at the cost of the environment and local communities and may not be sustainable in the long term.\nChemicals used to grow high-yield crops are said to have polluted water supplies and endangered the health of farm workers. Intensive farming techniques are said to have lead to land degradation from salinity, erosion and the impoverishment of soil structure. The cropping of high-yield varieties is said to have reduced agricultural biodiversity. The replacement of small family farms by large agricultural enterprises is said to have lead to the dislocation of traditional communities and an over-reliance on corporate providers.\nSupplies of fertilising agents like potassium, phosphorus and magnesium are finite and the production of chemical fertilisers and pesticides requires considerable energy input. Critics ask what will happen when the resources run out or the cost of energy goes up?\nBorlaug had responses to many of these criticisms.\n\"If we had continued practicing conventional farming,\" he said in 2002, \"we would have cut down millions of acres of forest, thereby destroying wildlife habitat, in order to increase cropland to produce enough food for an escalating population. And we would have to use more herbicides in more fields, which would damage the environment even more. Technology allows us to have less impact on soil erosion, biodiversity, wildlife, forests, and grasslands.\"\nThe Nobel Prize in Peace 1970 - Norman Borlaug\nBiotechnology and the Green Revolution - ActionBioscience\nBillions Served: Norman Borlaug interviewed by Ronald Bailey - Reason.com\nForgotten Benefactor of Humanity - The Atlantic\nNorman Borlaug: The Legend - AgBioWorld\nNorman Borlaug - Extended Biography - The World Food Prize\nThe World Food Prize - Improving the Quality, Quantity and Availability of Food in the World",

        "raw_content": "I am reporting to the New Zealand Missionary Training Center on September 7th, 2017 to serve a 2 year mission. I am a Mormon.\nI just graduated high school and now am preparing to serve my mission near the end of this summer. I am currently working 40 hours a week to pay for my mission, and college afterward. On the side, I love sports. I love both playing and watching most sports. The sport that stands out to me the most is baseball. I loved it ever since I was a kid. In high school, the sports I actually did competitively were baseball, cross country, and track.\nEverything I know to be true has all come with experience with acting on the things I have learned the many years I have been a member. Earlier in my life, I was not always the most faithful to the standards the church has put out. As I have learned that the standards come from God, I have found it to be easier to follow them. I also have found that my life is better and happier as I follow the standards, and do the things God asks of me. God has put out all the standards so I can be happy. I know God looks out for everyone and is a part of everyone's life whether they see it or not. Most importantly, it is amazing how God gave his only begotten son because he loved us so much. Through his son, we can be perfected. It does not mean I am perfect, but that I am progressing everyday at my own pace through the help of God. Christ's atonement also comforts us through trials and difficult times in life. I love the plan God has for all of us, and I know he just simply wants us to make it back to him again some day. I know the fullness of the gospel was restored to the earth through Joseph Smith, a prophet of God, and I love being a part of it.\nIn my ward, one of my callings is a primary teacher. Every other week, I prepare lessons for the children in the 9 to 10 year old class. In addition, I also home teach. As a home teacher, my dad and I visit three different families once a month and talk about how is life going for them and see if there is any way we could help the family. At the end of each visit, either my dad or I give a short lesson on an article from the magazine called the Ensign. Biggest of all, I just try to support the members of the ward I am a member of and strengthen everyone else around me. Not only at church do I do this, but everywhere.",

        "title": "Sessions uses Romans 13 correctly - Morrow County Sentinel",
        "raw_content": "Sessions uses Romans 13 correctly\nBy Pastor Stephen Howard - Contributing Columnist\nIf you ever want to see the media in an uproar, just wait until a public figure refers to the Bible. That\u2019s what happened last month when Attorney General Jeff Sessions referenced Romans 13 when speaking about US immigration laws.\nSessions comments were made in a speech on June 14 in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The full text of his speech is reported on the Department of Justice website (justice.gov). It deserves to be read.\nHe addressed criticism of President Trump\u2019s zero tolerance immigration policy. All those that enter illegally will be prosecuted. The media can be blamed for fanning the flames with pictures of supposed family separations.\nReligious groups like the Southern Baptist Convention and the National Association of Evangelicals have been critical of the President\u2019s policy. Sessions addressed the religious response directly in his speech.\nHe said, \u201cLet me take an aside to discuss concerns raised by our church friends about separating families\u2026.First- illegal entry into the United States is a crime\u2014as it should be. Persons who violate the law of our nation are subject to prosecution. I would cite you to the Apostle Paul and his clear and wise command in Romans 13, to obey the laws of the government because God has ordained them for the purpose of order.\u201d\nOf course, the media will have none of this. Nearly all reports of his speech have been negative. Even some within Sessions own United Methodist Church have brought official allegations of sin against him for this speech.\nSeriously? Did Sessions really misapply Romans 13? This passage is not hard to understand.\nJust read Romans 13:1-2, \u201cLet every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.\u201d\nGod has authorized human government. It is everyone\u2019s responsibility to obey and respect its laws and representatives. There must be consequences, even punishments, for breaking the law. Government and its laws are godly.\nIt is true Romans 13 has been misused to support slavery and Nazi Germany. There are times when a Christian may need to respectfully disobey government. When the apostle Peter was told to stop preaching he said, \u201cWe ought to obey God rather than men\u201d (Acts 5:29).\nBut the laws of immigration can hardly be considered one of those times. When a parent commits a crime in any other situation, we do not imprison the children with them. That\u2019s the reason for the family separation. This is not an immoral policy.\nAnd then there is the Pope. He tweeted out Deuteronomy 10:18-19, \u201cHe doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment. Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.\u201d\nWhat the Pope and others are suggesting is that our country is mistreating foreigners. Yet they ignore the fact that people are entering illegally. They also ignore the legitimate and generous opportunities our nation affords.\nSessions spoke directly to religious leaders: \u201cOnce again, let me state that this nation has perhaps the most generous laws in the world. My request to these religious leaders who have criticized the carrying out of our laws to also speak up strongly to urge anyone who would come here to apply lawfully, to wait their turn, and not violate the law.\u201d\nI agree wholeheartedly. We can all be thankful for an Attorney General that knows the Bible and wants to enforce the law.\nhttps://www.morrowcountysentinel.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2018/07/web1_pastorstephenhoward-1-.jpg\nBy Pastor Stephen Howard\nPastor Stephen Howard is from Morrow Bible Church.\nHi!

        "raw_content": "Home/Blog/Trading Ideas/At Long Last, the World Cup Wins Over the US\nAt Long Last, the World Cup Wins Over the US\nIt\u2019s difficult to pinpoint the exact moment when the 2014 World Cup officially became a big-time crossover event in this country, but it might well have been after the American team was already eliminated.\nEnthusiasm for the US run into the round of 16 had certainly delivered record TV ratings, but non-US matches this year, while above the viewership of four years ago, were still not much higher than hardcore fan levels.\nBut then \u2013 Brazil.\nThere didn\u2019t seem to be anybody left unaware of the 7-1 thrashing the host country\u2019s squad suffered at the hands of Germany earlier this week, including those who have no idea which country, for example, the tournament\u2019s defending champion may be.\n\u201cDid you see what happened to Brazil in that game?\u201d It was that oft-heard question in homes and offices across the US that has seemed to cinch it: you may not have known to correctly call it a \u201cmatch\u201d on the \u201cpitch\u201d or know that soccer is called \u201cfutebol\u201d along the Copacabana, but you knew what happened between Brazil and Germany.\nAnd when has that exactly happened before?\nOf course, the relative success of the US team has been no small part of the attraction. As Richard Deitsch reported for SI.com, Belgium\u2019s overtime win over the US averaged more than 16 million viewers on ESPN and more than 5 million on Univision.1\nIn addition, ESPN said it averaged 3.5 million unique viewers on its WatchESPN digital platform \u2013 a record for any event, while 1.8 million viewers watched via Univision\u2019s digital site.\nAs Deitsch rightly points out, these numbers don\u2019t count the many watch parties across America as well as throngs watching in bars and restaurants. Deutsch reckons the viewership total is closer to 30 million.\nSuch an audience isn\u2019t quite Super Bowl level, but easily outdistances any recent viewership totals garnered by the NBA Finals or the World Series.\nNaturally, the corporate advertisers who have aligned themselves with the World Cup must be pleased, as, no doubt, is FIFA, soccer\u2019s international governing body that must already be licking its chops at the endorsement deals it can garner for the next World Cup in 2018.\nAlready, German sporting apparel maker Adidas is estimated to have spent $70 million on its investment as the tournament\u2019s official sponsor. Meanwhile, its main rival, US-based Nike, enjoys no official sanctioning, but is likely reaping benefits from its sponsorship and outfitting deals with top players and teams.2\n(Unfortunately for Nike, the two Cup finalists, Germany and Argentina, are outfitted by Adidas).\nInterestingly, since the World Cup began on June 12, shares of Nike have gained 3.4%. During that same time, the S&P 500 has risen 1.1%.\nNike\u2019s stock also has a 21.1% weighting in the World of Sports motif, a portfolio of stocks of sporting goods and apparel makers as well as content distributors that could benefit from increased media exposure to sporting events that spurs demand for related gear.\nThe motif has gained 0.5% in the past month; the S&P 500 is up 0.8% in that time. In 2014, the motif has risen 4.5%; the S&P 500 has increased 8.3%.\n1Richard Deitsch, \u201cUSA vs. Belgium draws another huge American TV World Cup audience, SI.com, July 2, 2014, http://www.si.com/planet-futbol/2014/07/02/usa-belgium-world-cup-tv-ratings-viewers, (accessed July 8, 2014).\n2James Fernandez, \u201cIt\u2019s Nike vs. Adidas in the World Cup Semis,\u201d thestreet.com, July 7, 2014, http://www.thestreet.com/story/12766229/1/its-nike-vs-adidas-in-the-world-cup-semis.html.\nTags: world of sports",

With concerts in numerous European countries and the United States under her belt and a long list of record releases in Japan, she was awarded the Junior Prima Award in 2012. For Nikolas Tak\u00e1cs, it wasn't his success on a television talent search competition in 2010 that brought him his first recognition as a musician, although he did win many hearts as a finalist. By 19, he had already performed with legendary jazz drummer Vilmos J\u00e1vori and worked with Gyula Babos, J\u00e1nos Solti, Tony Lakatos, Charlie and Emilio, among others. In other words, he's not just about R'n'B, soul and funk: jazz is so much a part of him that when he took to the microphone alongside his fellow vocalist with more experience in the genre at the first joint rehearsal, it was like he had come home. At this concert, both personalities will present themselves before the M\u00fcpa audience in full, in depth, and just the way they are.\nKorn\u00e9l Fekete-Kov\u00e1cs: Foundations\nMikl\u00f3s Luk\u00e1cs: The world of Cimbi\u00f3zis",

He attended he Art School of Yehuda Pen and felt in love with the realistic painting style of his teacher, but he also studied photography. After a short time at St. Petersburg Art School, he had a dispute with one of his teachers and left the school. In 1907 Chagall came back to in St. Petersburg at the Swansewa School at Lew Semjolowitsch Bakst. In 1909, he met his future wife Bella Rosenfeld, a friend of his sister. Bella and Chagall's daughter, Ida, was born in 1916. Between 1910 and 1914, he lived in Paris, where he changed his first name to Marc and became familiar with Cubism and Fauvism. Chagall returned to Russia and married Bella. With its revolutionary ideas, he received the opportunity to exhibit his works in progressive galleries in Russia. After the revolution in 1917, he started working at the Art Commission of Vitebsk until 1919, and founded an art school in Vitebsk. Due to tensions in his hometown, he left this in 1919 and moved to Moscow, where he worked as a fresco painter, before he returned in 1923 to Paris to become a book illustrator. After 1950, Chagall began creating decorations and stained glass windows.\nThe surrealist work of Chagall pictures a dreamlike atmosphere, enhanced by the choice of bright colors.

She, too, had spent the night in the park.\n\u201cThrough the season of Lent we are focusing on a different aspect of faith,\u201d said Pastor Rick Enns. \u201cWe thought this year we would do it a little differently and have a different focus each week. We have focused on clean water. So many around the world don\u2019t have clean water. We focused on distractions in life and gave up our favorite time-killer like Facebook or our cell phone. This week our focus was on the homeless. Next week it is on poverty and human trafficking.\u201d\nThe group met at 7 p.m. and spread out their sleeping bags. Enns and his two children slept in a tent. Participants turned in their cell phones and other personal items. By 9:30 p.m. it was dark, and there was nothing to do, so the group settled in for a long night.\nMoreno and two other woman had participated in a three-day homelessness awareness project in Waco in October.\nThey were sent to the streets of Waco with only four items of their choice, no food and no water, and told to survive. Saturday night\u2019s experience was less intense but uncomfortable, just the same.\n\u201cIt was cold. That kept waking me up,\u201d said Alexa Leija, West Texas A&M University psychology major. \u201cWe were still privileged that we had a sleeping bag, but others have nothing and have to find resources.\u201d\nEnns had the same reaction.\n\u201cThe night was cold and windy, and I didn\u2019t sleep much, but for me, I knew I could get up in the morning, go inside, and have a cup of coffee, and others couldn\u2019t,\u201d Enns said.\nMelanie Watson, who had also attended the three-day project with Moreno, said the two experiences have taught her \u201chow fortunate we are since we have a home we can go to. Our homeless population don\u2019t have that privilege of knowing they can go home; there\u2019s no home for them. We were excited to go back into the church. They can\u2019t get in out of the elements. They truly don\u2019t know where their next meal is coming from.\u201d\nHowever, many who are counted as homeless don\u2019t live on the streets. Some are displaced and living with family or friends. According to Moreno, 92 children in Canyon qualify as homeless.\nSuch children often don\u2019t have the money for school field trips, special projects and birthday party gifts.\nPeople who are interested in helping such children financially can contact Moreno at 322-2530 or eliamoreno@calfarley.org.\nThose who would like to serve as mentors and confidants for local families in poverty \u201cwho have endured crippling financial challenges, lost a job or a loved one or have experienced other significant life crises\u201d should contact her about Cal Farley\u2019s Neighborhood Navigator Program.",

        "title": "Puerto Rico Suspends $133M Post-Hurricane Housing Contract - Integration Through Media ....!",
        "raw_content": "Puerto Rico Suspends $133M Post-Hurricane Housing Contract\n(VOA): Puerto Rico's Housing Department said Wednesday that it would suspend a $133 million deal with a U.S. company hired to repair homes damaged by Hurricane Maria because a review board found the contract had been improperly awarded. The department's contractor review board published a ruling Tuesday saying New York-based Adjusters International had received the contract, which was subsidized by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, though it did not meet several requirements. Eric Perez-Ochoa, an attorney for Adjusters International, said in a statement that the company had complied with all requirements and was studying the board's decision, adding that it was \"deeply disappointed.'' He said thousands of Puerto Ricans were enrolled in the home repairs program and that crews were conducting nearly 1,500 home inspections a day, with 700 Puerto Ricans helping out. He said the company offered a savings of more than $20 million compared with another proposal. \"This decision puts that progress at risk and may cost Puerto Rico more money,'' he said. Company officer was Trump pick A company vice president, Daniel Craig, had been nominated by U.S. President Donald Trump to the No. 2 position at FEMA but later withdrew from consideration. Craig, an ex-FEMA official under former President George W. Bush, had faced a 2011 federal investigation that concluded he falsified government travel and timekeeping records \u2014 findings he has rejected as being the result of a poor investigation. The 2011 report has not been publicly disclosed. FEMA spokesman Daniel Llargues said the agency was not involved in any process tied to the contract, and he referred all questions to Puerto Rico's Housing Department. Meanwhile, Puerto Rico Housing Secretary Fernando Gil said in a statement that his agency was evaluating other options to avoid interrupting home repairs. He noted his agency had requested that Puerto Rico justice officials submit the contract to the review board even though they are not legally required to do so. \"Ensuring transparency in contract awards is of paramount importance,'' Gil said. \"Our focus continues to be to help all families that require our assistance and ensure the reconstruction of Puerto Rico.'' Officials have said that Hurricane Maria, a Category 4 storm that struck more than five months ago, destroyed between 70,000 to 75,000 homes and damaged another 300,000 homes across the island of 3.3 million people. Adjusters International was contracted to make minor repairs to homes, such as fixing roofs, walls, windows and water heaters. It was unclear how many homes the company had repaired or how much, if any, it had been paid for its work. Housing Department spokeswoman Leticia Jover did not return messages seeking comment. A department report stated in part that the company had approved nearly 10,000 applications and that nearly 36,500 applications had been completed. The contract had been challenged by one of the companies that lost the initial bid, Los Angeles-based AECOM. Awaiting court ruling Jover said the contract would remain suspended until a ruling from Puerto Rico's Court of Appeals. The review board said that Adjusters International should have been disqualified because it did not meet requirements, including having a $35 million line of credit and a certification authorizing it to do business in Puerto Rico. \"The offer from Adjusters should have been disqualified and under no circumstance should it have proceeded to the second round of evaluations,'' the board said. Puerto Rico has come under increased federal scrutiny after the U.S. territory awarded a $300 million contract to tiny Whitefish Energy Holdings LLC after the storm. The contract's cancellation led later to the resignation of the power company director. Whitefish is based in Whitefish, Montana, hometown of U.S. Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke. Congress has set aside several billion dollars in disaster recovery funds for Puerto Rico, but concerns remain over potential mismanagement of money in a U.S. territory struggling to restructure a portion of its $73 billion public debt amid an 11-year recession. Officials with FEMA and the Treasury Department said in a recent letter that they were temporarily withholding a billion-dollar emergency loan because the island was not facing a cash shortage as it has repeatedly warned about in recent months.\nPublished Date: Thursday, February 15th, 2018 | 08:45 PM",

        "raw_content": "Gary Hammer\nTobias Else\nAre you sure the patient has a pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma?\nPheochromocytomas and paragangliomas are neoplastic lesions originating from ganglia cells of the autonomic nervous system. Pheochromocytomas are localized in the adrenal medulla. Sympathetic paragangliomas are mainly found in the abdomen. Parasympathetic paragangliomas are found in the head and neck area.\nClassical symptoms are spell-like and caused by catecholamine surges, which cause episodic palpitations, headache, pallor, perspiration and anxiety. Signs are tachycardia, hypertension. These episodes last minutes (not seconds) to hours, and sometimes symptoms are constant. Most pheochromocytomas will cause some degree of symptoms and signs. However, head and neck paragangliomas are usually clinically silent and mainly cause problems from local growth. They are therefore present with compressive symptoms (e.g., tinnitus, nerve palsy). Pheochromocytomas on occasion can also present as incidental findings on cross-sectional imaging.\nCurrently, the main screening test for patients with suspicious clinical symptoms or signs are urine or plasma metanephrine and normetanephrine levels.\nIn the setting of typical spell-like symptoms and elevated metanephrine and/or normetanephrine levels, a typical tumor observed on imaging makes the diagnosis straightforward. However, each of these findings (symptoms, elevated hormones and adrenal mass) has a unique differential diagnosis.\nSpell-like symptoms\nNeuroendocrine tumors: Spells are usually dry, and flushing is more prominent then pallor. Neuroendocrine tumors and carcinoid tumors often cause diarrhea, which is unusual with pheochromocytoma.\nMenopause: Menopausal flushing is much shorter (seconds) than in pheochromocytoma.\nAnxiety: Anxiety and pheochromocytoma symptoms are difficult to differentiate. A detailed psychiatric history may be helpful. In addition, anxiety is rarely the predominant symptom patients will complain about; it\u2019s secondary. Patients will rather complain of palpitations, pounding heartbeat, etc.\nThe differential diagnosis of adrenal tumors is broad. Functional cortical tumors can be differentiated by clinical syndromes due to cortisol, androgen or mineralocorticoid excess. Other tumors of the adrenal glands include neuroblastomas, ganglioneuromas, metastasis, myelolipoma, lymphoma and sarcoma. Pheochromocytomas almost invariably show attenuation on unenhanced CT scans of > 20 HU and are very bright on T2-weighted MRI imaging.\nElevated Metanephrine and Normetanephrine levels\nIn most pheochromocytoma patients, metanephrine and normetanephrine levels are elevated > 4-fold the normal range. Normetanephrine and metanephrine levels are often mildly elevated in patients with essential hypertension. Normetanephrine levels are significantly elevated in patients treated with tricyclic antidepressive drugs or serotonin noradrenaline uptake inhibitors. Obstructive sleep apnea causes regular surges of catecholamines and elevated metanephrines, and normetanephrines are present in 24-hour urine collections.\nTraditionally, catecholamines (epinephrine and norepinephrine, as well as their breakdown products homovanillic acid (HVA) and vanillylmandelic acid (VMA) in blood and urine) have been used in the evaluation of pheochromocytomas. However, measurement of these hormones has become obsolete with the advent of metanephrine and normetanephrine measurements. Secretions of these catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT)-derived substances from a tumor is rather constant and not episodic in nature; therefore, plasma levels fluctuate less.\nWhile the sensitivity and specificity of urine versus plasma metanephrines varies minimally, most centers prefer plasma-free metanephrines as a screening tool, followed by confirmation in 24-hour urine. Interpretation is dependent on the pre-test probability, which differs significantly depending on patient ascertainment. For patients with hypertension (low level of suspicion), levels should be elevated 2-4 fold. However, any elevation over the normal range (especially metanephrine) is concerning in a patient with an adrenal tumor with imaging characteristics of a pheochromocytoma or a familial syndrome predisposing to pheochromocytoma development (high level of suspicion).\nNormetanephrine levels are significantly elevated in patients treated with tricyclic antidepressant drugs or serotonin noradrenaline uptake inhibitors. These substances may need to be held for repeat testing. Obstructive sleep apnea causes regular surges of catecholamines and elevated metanephrines, and normetanephrines are present in 24-hour urine colections.\nChromogranin A can be helpful in further substantiating the diagnosis of a pheochromocytoma.\nUnspecific laboratory changes may include hyperglycemia.\nOnly after biochemical confirmation of a pheochromcytoma is imaging performed. The main initial imaging is cross-sectional imaging by either CT or MRI. On CT scan, most pheochromocytomas have an attenuation of > 20 HU (unenhanced) and show delayed washout (<60% absolute and <40% relative). Most pheochromocytomas will appear inhomogeneous, may have cystic parts as well as areas of necrosis and hemorrhage as well as calcifications. On MRI, pheochromocytomas typically appear bright on T2-weighted images.\nFunctional imaging with metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG), octreotide or fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) may be considered in cases where a metastatic or extra-adrenal pheochromocytoma needs to be evaluated or followed. The main use of these imaging modalities lies in evaluating the full extent of disease after the initial diagnosis of a pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma has been made. These modalities are of no use in finding an \u201coccult\u201d pheochromocytoma.\nEvery patient with a pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma will need to have a full evaluation for possible hereditary predisposition. Family history, personal medical history, tumor localization, biochemical profile and multifocality are helpful in determining the most likely underlying syndrome. For genetic evaluation, the patient should be referred to a genetic counselor and clinical geneticist or endocrinologist experienced in endocrine genetics.\nThe main syndromes to take into consideration are:\nHereditary paraganglioma syndrome: caused by mutations in genes of the succinate dehydrogenase complex subunits.\nSDHB (succinate dehydrogenase complex subunit B): Patients mainly present with abdominal paragangliomas, which are often norepinephrine-secreting. A higher percentage of SDHB-related paraganglioma and pheochromocytomas have been found to be malignant. Patients with SDHB mutations are at risk for developing other tumors.\nSDHD (succinate dehydrogenase complex subunit D): These mutations predispose rather for head and neck paragangliomas, which often are non-functional.\nSDHC (succinate dehydrogenase complex subunit C): Most of these tumors occur in the head and neck area, and often are non-functional.\nOther mutations (SDHA, SDHAF2) are much rarer and their phenotype is not well assessed yet.\nVHL caused by mutations in the VHL gene predisposes to hemangioblastoma of the CNS, spine and retina, renal cell carcinoma, neuroendocrine and cystic pancreatic tumors and endolymphatic sac tumors. Occasionally VHL may present with bilateral pheochromocytoma in the absence of any other disease expression. These tumors are almost invariably localized in the adrenal gland and produce norepinephrine.\nMEN2 presents less often with pheochromocytoma, but more commonly with medullary thyroid cancer. Pheochromocytomas occur in ~50% of MEN2 patients and are always localized in the adrenal gland and produce epinephrine.\nThe clinical diagnosis of NF1 is usually present or can be made at the time of diagnosis of a pheochromocytoma. NF1 is rarely confirmed genetically as sequencing of the NF1 gene is cumbersome.\nOther (TMEM127, MAX mutations)\nThe phenotype of these gene mutations is not well described yet, but both seem to predispose rather to pheochromocytoma than to paraganglioma.\nManagement and yreatment of the disease\nHypertension with pheochromocytoma\nUsually hypertensive urgency is defined as blood pressure >220mmHg/>120mmHg. When concomitant end-organ damage (e.g., visual disturbances, confusion, hematuria) is present, it is called a hypertensive emergency. If hypertensive urgency or emergency is caused by catecholamine surges from a pheochromocytoma, the preferred treatment is oral (or occasionally IV) \u03b1-blockade, using the reversible phentolamine (1\u20135mg repeated every 15min as required) or irreversible phenoxybenzamine (1mg/kg infused over at least 2h). It is never appropriate to initiate \u03b2-blockade first or alone because of the resultant unopposed \u03b1-effects and potential for a hypertensive crisis.\nEvery patient with a pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma should be initiated on antihypertensive treatment until definitive surgery is possible, regardless of the presence of hypertension. Traditionally, phenoxybenzamine loading has been used, starting at nighttime with 10 mg and then increasing by 10 mg every day or every other day until hypertension is controlled and the patient develops nasal congestion and edema. Salt and fluid intake should be liberal during this period. Alternatively titration of doxazosin or other reversible \u03b1-blocker can be used. Another alternative is the use of calcium antagonists.\nAfter 1-2 weeks of \u03b1-blockade, it is usually safe to add a \u03b2-blocker, such as metoprolol, targeting a heart rate of ~60/min.The initiation of sufficient \u03b1- & \u03b2-blockade controls the patient\u2019s blood pressure and prevents the effects of catecholamine surges (e.g., stroke) during anesthesia and surgery.\nSurgery for pheochromocytoma\nSurgery is the only curative therapy for pheochromocytoma. Presurgical blood pressure control is a necessary prerequisite. Small pheochromocytomas may be removed laparoscopically. For larger tumors, concurrent lymphadenectomy to assess for loco-regional extension is recommended.\nMetastasized pheochromocytoma\nThe only definite sign of malignancy of pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas is the presence of metastasis. Therapy for metastasized tumors is largely experimental and should ideally take place in the context of a clinical trial. Most metastatic pheochromocytomas are slow-growing and can often observed and treated only symptomatically (\u03b1- & \u03b2-blockade) without definitive cancer therapy. Definitive cancer therapy may be initiated when either biochemical progression (e.g., urine metanephrine, normetanephrine, serum chromogranin A), tumor growth or new metastases are observed.\nTraditionally, combination cytotoxic chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide, vincristine and dacarbazine (CVD) has been used with a biochemical response of up to 70%. Recently therapy with I-131-MIBG (meta-iodobenzylguanidine) has emerged as a true alternative, which may be specifically beneficial in some of the hereditary variants. Current studies are evaluating targeted therapy with tyrosine kinase inhibitors and other cytotoxic regimens.\nWelander, J, S\u00f6derkvist, P, Gimm, O. \u201cGenetics and clinical characteristics of hereditary pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas\u201d.

        "raw_content": "ComiXology Gets ROB LIEFELD Creator-Owned Work Exclusively\nBy Vaneta Rogers March 4, 2010 08:15am ET\nComiXology Gets LIEFELD Creator-Owned\nComiXology has landed another exclusive creator, just as the company expands it horizons in the digital world and prepares for the launch of its new app for the Apple iPad.\nArtist Rob Liefeld has given ComiXology exclusive rights to his creator-owned comics for iPhone, offering users of the Comics app the chance to read comics like Youngblood and Armegeddon Now! digitally. Comics by ComiXology, the leading iPhone comics reading app, began the relationship with Liefeld just as their app is in development for the iPad, and is being featuring in Apple TV ads in Great Britain.\n\"I wanted to launch Youngblood with an exclusive relationship with ComiXology because I believe that they can provide the extra push that a launch like this requires,\" Liefeld told Newsarama. \"Everyone at ComiXology has been very supportive and enthusiastic about getting Youngblood as well as the rest of the Awesome/Extreme catalogue online. Hopes are high that this relationship leads to more online comics.\"\nThe launch of Liefeld's comics begins today with the release of the creator's Youngblood mini-series on the \"Comics\" app for iPhone and iPod Touch. The first issue will be offered free, with subsequent issues priced at 99 cents.\nAnd Liefeld told Newsarama he'll be launching an \"exclusive to ComiXology\" comic book soon, giving more incentive for digital readers to check out his work on the app.\n\"Rob has remastered the Youngblood series, so this is the right time for him to go digital,\" said David Steinberger, president of ComiXology. \"It's cool to have an Image founder as one of our exclusives, because we're all about the creators. And Image is part of our comics history, and it's something I remember from growing up. We have a lot of great Image titles, and having [Robert] Kirkman on exclusive has gone quite well. With Image being creator-owned comics, these guys have to kind of find an avenue to digital themselves, and we can offer them a deal that works on their behalf.\"\nLiefeld said he was influenced by Robert Kirkman's successful ComiXology exclusive and the unique 'guided views' the app uses to mimic the comics reading experience. The creator also said he was also driven toward going digital by seeing the reaction of his three elementary-aged kids to the Comics app.\n\"In the last nine months, they have all become addicted to their iPods and iPhones,\" he said of his kids. \"They are constantly downloading games and music, and my oldest flipped out when I showed him Invincible on ComiXology. My kids love going to the comics store with me, but they have insatiable appetites for new apps, and I truly believe we have to be online in order to reach their generation. We give them budgets for apps and I know my boys will add comics to their ever-expanding app library.\"\nBut the creator said he was also impressed by ComiXology's commitment to print comics. \"They fully support printed comics and the direct comics market with their 'buy in print' button that will lead the reader to a retail location,\" he said. \"It encourages connecting digital readers with retail outlets. That's a win-win for all involved, encouraging the expansion of the market through digital and print.\"\nComiXology is hoping to get more exclusives, and although the company has dozens of publishers' comics on the phone, they hinted that there's one publisher they'd really like to see join the ComiXology site. \"The point for me that I'd like to get across on this is we just love the fact that we can take care of creators,\" he said. \"Don't get me wrong. We love Marvel; we love DC. Obviously, Marvel sells very, very well on ComiXology, and DC would if they would join us. But it's a particular pleasure for us to do our best with independent creators.\n\"I love the fact that we're the only ones who get to present the work of creators like Robert Kirkman and Rob Liefeld,\" Steinberger said. \"I respect all the publishers and creators and all the decisions they make. Kirkman had decided to do it because we were the best reader he'd seen, and I think Liefeld is just following suit because he sees that we care about the creators and how the comics read. They know we'll put extra effort behind them and their products because of their exclusivity.\"\nAs Newsarama reported on the day Apple's iPad was announced, ComiXology is translating the company's iPhone/iPod app for use on Apple's new iPad. Steinberger said the company is \"very deep\" into the process.\n\"It is possible we'll be available at launch, if not very close after the launch of the iPad,\" Steinberger said. \"And we've been featured in an Apple ad in the UK. Atomic Robo is in it. Apple's been really good to us, and they continue to be really good to us. They obviously think the world of comics, so I think we're all excited to get ComiXology on the iPad. I think it's going to be really terrific to look at a full comics page when you have the iPad in front of you, then move to the iPhone when you're on the go. I think it's going to be fantastic, and we're very excited.\"\nWhen asked if there was anything else the company was working on, Steinberger had a tough time holding back. \"Man, there's just so much stuff going on, but I can't announce anything yet,\" he said. \"We're very busy with all kinds of opportunities. It's a very exciting time.\"\nYoungblood Vol 1 #1-4 are available today on ComiXology's App\nAn IMAGE Original Returns For His First Creator-Owned Title With SLOTS\nROB LIEFELD Shoots On Today's CABLE Reveal",

Values Coalition, said in a statement. \u201cCooper renewed his call for special treatment of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals at the expense of families, who will lose their privacy, safety, and dignity. He has also demonstrated that he is beholden to radicals like George Soros and out-of-state groups like the Human Rights Campaign to fund his campaign.\u201d\nEquality North Carolina, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), and the ACLU of North Carolina will hold a press conference outside of the North Carolina General Assembly Building.\nCooper did not elaborate on the executive order on LGBT protections, which would only apply to the departments that the governor controls. Asked about it in a later phone interview, Cooper said he had promised to do more.\n\u201cI said when we repealed HB2 and initiated the compromise, we needed to take additional steps to make sure we protect LGBT residents,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re working on an executive order that will help further those goals.\u201d\nGov. Pat McCrory issued an executive order in April 2016 that expanded nondiscrimination protections for state employees to include sexual orientation and gender identity.

General Assembly will pass a bill to circumvent Monday\u2019s announcement that the U.S. Supreme Court would let stand a lower court ruling that struck down North Carolina\u2019s voter ID requirement and other provisions in a 2013 law. GOP leaders have said they will continue to pursue such a law.\n\u201cNorth Carolina is an epicenter in the country for the fight for the right to vote,\u201d Cooper said at the Four Seasons Hotel. \u201cThis General Assembly doesn\u2019t stop. This was a temporary win yesterday.\u201d\nCooper said his action withdrawing the state\u2019s appeal of the lower-court ruling helped the Supreme Court decide not to hear it.\nThe governor repeated some of his campaign themes, including pushing for a better-educated workforce that will pay off in terms of individual paychecks and in attracting more business to the state: improving high school graduation rates, making community college more affordable and increasing the number of advanced degrees and skills certification.\nHe said Democrats should address the concerns of those who voted for President Donald Trump.\n\u201cWe have got to have a positive, pocketbook message for them,\u201d Cooper said.\nGov.

        "raw_content": "Roche (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY) announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation for Tecentriq\u00ae (atezolizumab) in combination with Avastin\u00ae (bevacizumab) as an initial (first-line) treatment for people with advanced or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most common form of liver cancer. The designation is based on data from a Phase Ib study assessing the safety and clinical activity of the combination of Tecentriq and Avastin.\n\u201cHepatocellular carcinoma is an aggressive cancer with limited treatment options and a major cause of cancer deaths worldwide,\u201d said Sandra Horning, MD, Roche\u2019s Chief Medical Officer and Head of Global Product Development. \u201cPreliminary data from the combination of Tecentriq and Avastin in this disease are promising and we look forward to working with health authorities to make this potential treatment regimen available to people with hepatocellular carcinoma as soon as possible.\u201d\nBreakthrough Therapy Designation is designed to expedite the development and review of medicines intended to treat serious or life-threatening diseases and to help ensure people have access to them through FDA approval as soon as possible. This is the 22nd Breakthrough Therapy Designation for Roche\u2019s portfolio of medicines and the 3rd for Tecentriq.\nRoche presented data from a Phase Ib study in HCC at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, in June 2018. These data showed that after a median follow-up of 10.3 months, responses (independent review facility (IRF) per RECIST v1.1) were seen in 15 (65 percent) of 23 efficacy-evaluable patients. Responses were seen in all subgroups, including on the basis of the cause of their disease (etiology: Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and non-viral), region (Asia excl. Japan or Japan/US), baseline alpha-fetoprotein levels (high/low) or spread of tumour beyond the liver (yes/no). Assessment by investigators (INV) assessed per RECIST v1.1 demonstrated a response rate of 61 percent (14 out of 23 patients). Median progression free survival (PFS), duration of response (DOR), time to progression (TTP) and overall survival (OS) have not yet been reached after a median follow-up of 10.3 months; results will be presented at a future medical congress when updated data from an expanded cohort are available. In the safety-evaluable population (n=43), 28 percent of patients (n=12) experienced Grade 3-4 treatment-related adverse events and no treatment-related Grade 5 adverse events were observed. No new safety signals were identified beyond the established safety profiles for the individual medicines. Roche provided additional data per FDA request and the Breakthrough Therapy Designation has been granted based on the totality of these data.\nEarlier this year, Roche initiated IMbrave150 (NCT03434379), an open-label, multicentre, randomised Phase III study investigating the combination of Tecentriq and Avastin versus sorafenib in people with previously-untreated (first-line) locally advanced, unresectable or metastatic HCC. This study is currently enrolling. Further information about the trial can be found on clinicaltrials.gov.\nAbout the Phase Ib study (NCT02715531)\nThis Phase Ib, open-label, multicentre study is evaluating the safety and clinical activity of a number of cancer immunotherapy combinations in different solid tumours, including Tecentriq and Avastin in patients with advanced, unresectable or metastatic first-line HCC (Arm A). Participants in Arm A receive Tecentriq (1200 mg) and Avastin (15 mg/kg) intravenously (IV) every three weeks until loss of clinical benefit or unacceptable toxicity. The primary objectives of Arm A are to assess the clinical activity, based on objective response rate (ORR) assessment by independent review facility (IRF) per RECIST v1.1 and to assess the safety and tolerability of the combination. Secondary efficacy endpoints include objective response rate (ORR) by investigator assessment (INV), as well as progression-free survival (PFS), duration of response (DOR), time to progression (TTP) all by INV and IRF per RECIST v1.1; and overall survival (OS).\nAbout Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC)\nLiver cancer is the second most common cause of cancer death globally1 and HCC is the most common primary malignancy of the liver. Globally, HCC is the fifth most common cancer in men and the seventh most common cancer among women, with over half a million new cases diagnosed annually(1). HCC develops predominantly in those people with cirrhosis due to chronic hepatitis B or C(2).\nAbout IMbrave150 (NCT03434379)\nIMbrave150 is a Phase III, multicentre, randomised, open-label study enrolling approximately 480 people with untreated advanced, unresectable or metastatic HCC 2:1 to receive the combination of Tecentriq and Avastin or sorafenib. Tecentriq will be administered IV, 1200mg on day 1 of each 21-day cycle and Avastin will be administered IV, 15mg/kg on day 1 of each 21-day cycle. Sorafenib will be administered by mouth, 400mg twice per day, on days 1-21 of each 21-day cycle. Participants will receive the combination or the control arm treatment until unacceptable toxicity or loss of clinical benefit as determined by the investigator. Co-primary endpoints are OS and investigator-assessed ORR. Secondary endpoints include investigator-assessed PFS, TTP, DOR and IRF-assessed ORR, PFS, TTP and DOR.\nAbout the Tecentriq\u00ae (atezolizumab) and Avastin\u00ae (bevacizumab) combination\nThere is a strong scientific rationale to support the use of Tecentriq and Avastin in combination. The Tecentriq and Avastin regimen may enhance the potential of the immune system to combat a broad range of cancers. Avastin, in addition to its established anti-angiogenic effects, may further enhance Tecentriq\u2019s ability to restore anti-cancer immunity, by inhibiting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-related immunosuppression, promoting T-cell tumour infiltration and enabling priming and activation of T-cell responses against tumour antigens.\nTecentriq is a monoclonal antibody designed to bind with a protein called PD-L1 expressed on tumour cells and tumour-infiltrating immune cells, blocking its interactions with both PD-1 and B7.1 receptors. By inhibiting PD-L1, Tecentriq may enable the activation of T cells. Tecentriq has the potential to be used as a foundational combination partner with cancer immunotherapies, targeted medicines and various chemotherapies across a broad range of cancers.\nTecentriq is already approved in the European Union, United States and more than 70 countries for people with previously treated metastatic NSCLC and for certain types of untreated or previously treated metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC).\nAvastin is a prescription-only medicine that is a solution for intravenous infusion. It is a biologic antibody designed to specifically bind to a protein called VEGF that plays an important role throughout the lifecycle of the tumour to develop and maintain blood vessels, a process known as angiogenesis. Avastin is designed to interfere with the tumour blood supply by directly binding to the VEGF protein to prevent interactions with receptors on blood vessel cells. The tumour blood supply is thought to be critical to a tumour\u2019s ability to grow and spread in the body (metastasize).\nFor more than 50 years, Roche has been developing medicines with the goal to redefine treatment in oncology. Today, we\u2019re investing more than ever in our effort to bring innovative treatment options that help a person\u2019s own immune system fight cancer.\nBy applying our seminal research in immune tumour profiling within the framework of the Roche-devised cancer immunity cycle, we are accelerating and expanding the transformative benefits with TECENTRIQ to a greater number of people living with cancer. Our cancer immunotherapy development programme takes a comprehensive approach in pursuing the goal of restoring cancer immunity to improve outcomes for patients.\nFounded in 1896, Roche continues to search for better ways to prevent, diagnose and treat diseases and make a sustainable contribution to society.

        "raw_content": "New Haven Postcard\nIn 1646, the townspeople of New Haven, Connecticut, feeling squeezed by the neighboring settlements of Boston, to the north, and New Amsterdam, to the south, sent a ship full of their finest wares and personages to England, to assert their primacy as a New World trading center. The ship sank. In the intervening years, as the locals rarely hesitate to tell you, New Haven gave us such invaluable commodities as the cotton gin, the Frisbee, and clam pizza, but its commercial and cultural standing never recovered; to many, it is little more than a university town.\nAnd yet, Leslie Kuo was insisting the other day, New Haven remains as vital a city as any. Just look at all its colorful characters\u2014ubiquitous layabouts and downtown clerks with nicknames like Frenchy, Smelly, Icebucket, Titanium Joe, Casablanca Man, and Sixteen-Year-Old Liz. Kuo, who graduated from Yale in 2003 with a degree in biology and then stuck around, spent two years creating a deck of trading cards to celebrate these and other local eminences. The cards, which feature black-and-white photographs on one side and biographical data (\u201cMost likely to be seen: _\\_\u201d; \u201cKnown for: __\u201d) on the reverse, are now sold in packs of ten at independent bookstores.\nYou know the type. For instance, there is Kyle Mullins, a gentle thirty-five-year-old with thick sideburns and a long, Merlinesque goatee, who works at the favored record shop and seems to know everyone. Kyle\u2019s father visited him once and, during the course of a coffee break, was so startled by all the strangers stopping to pay their respects that he asked, \u201cWhat are you, the mayor of this town?\u201d\nLike Kyle, John DeStefano, the actual mayor, merited a trading card, as did four of DeStefano\u2019s previous opponents, including one, Bill Saunders, who crashed a 2001 mayoral debate in drag, dressed as his alter ego, Little Miss Mess-Up, and another, Roger Uihlein, who received just nine votes, but who wrote a loving poem, \u201cNew Haven Is an Island,\u201d in which he likens his native city to a phoenix rising \u201con a dead-end vacant lot.\u201d\nThere are sixty local characters in the set, and the selection process, as Kuo explained, while leading a walking tour of downtown New Haven, was necessarily subjective. Jim Martin, whom Kuo described as \u201cour second- or third-oldest punk,\u201d made the cut, whereas \u201cthat dude who hangs out across the street from Starbucks,\u201d and \u201cthis kid named Gadget,\u201d did not. (Martin works for Cesar Pelli, the city\u2019s most prominent architect, and the designer of the world\u2019s second-tallest buildings, the Petronas Towers, in Kuala Lumpur.)\nEveryone has his favorites. At Rudy\u2019s bar, the old haunt of Garry Trudeau, a former resident who calls New Haven \u201cthe new Jerusalem\u201d thumbed through one of Kuo\u2019s decks, trying to pick out familiar faces. \u201cHe\u2019s a classic\u2014an absolute classic,\u201d said the man, who has been living for the past several years in San Francisco. He was referring to Dennis Thompson, whose card identifies him as a sushi chef and skateboarder known for wearing unwashed clothes.\n\u201cYou have the flower guy, don\u2019t you?\u201d he asked Kuo.\nYes\u2014and the \u201cflower lady,\u201d too. Annette Walton, who wanders the streets selling carnations for a dollar apiece, said that she has even autographed a few cards for her customers.\nOver at a caf\u00e9 called Koffee?, meanwhile, Floatin\u2019 Fred (who is not to be confused with Freddy B.) was holding court, dressed in black, with cowboy boots and a Kangol hat. Fred, who is forty-six, was born in New Haven, which he regards as a \u201cminor major\u201d among American cities. He has a local-access TV show on which he \u201cconducts the music in his head.\u201d\n\u201cAh, Louie the Italian,\u201d Fred said, glancing at the card for Louie Storvino, another lifer. \u201cYou know, for years I thought he was an Arab.\u201d (Louie\u2019s famously grumpy demeanor recently got him banned from Rudy\u2019s, by decree of Omer the Belgian, one of the bar\u2019s owners and another trading-card honoree.)\nBy Fred\u2019s reckoning, the most glaring omission from the deck was Irv Pinsky, a personal-injury attorney who offers free legal advice to pedestrians on his lunch break. \u201cYou know, if you think you might slip, or you might fall, give Irv a call,\u201d Fred said. \u201cEver see those umbrellas that say \u20181-800-LAWYERS\u2019? You dial that number and Irv\u2019s phone rings, right here in New Haven.\u201d",

        "title": "How a Gay-Marriage Study Went Wrong | The New Yorker",
        "raw_content": "How a Gay-Marriage Study Went Wrong\nA study that had excited researchers and journalists alike now looks suspect. What happened?\nPhotograph by Andy Cross/The Denver Post via Getty\nLast December, Science published a provocative paper about political persuasion. Persuasion is famously difficult: study after study\u2014not to mention much of world history\u2014has shown that, when it comes to controversial subjects, people rarely change their minds, especially if those subjects are important to them. You may think that you\u2019ve made a convincing argument about gun control, but your crabby uncle isn\u2019t likely to switch sides in the debate. Beliefs are sticky, and hardly any approach, no matter how logical it may be, can change that.\nThe Science study, \u201cWhen contact changes minds: An experiment on transmission of support for gay equality,\u201d seemed to offer a method that could work. The authors\u2014Donald Green, a tenured professor of political science at Columbia University, and Michael LaCour, a graduate student in the poli-sci department at U.C.L.A.\u2014enlisted a group of canvassers from the Los Angeles L.G.B.T. Center to venture into the L.A. neighborhoods where voters had supported Proposition 8, which banned same-sex marriage. The canvassers followed standardized scripts meant to convince those voters to change their minds through non-confrontational, one-on-one contact. Over the following nine months, the voters were surveyed at various intervals to see what those conversations had achieved. The survey highlighted a surprising distinction. When canvassers didn\u2019t talk about their own sexual orientations, voters\u2019 shifts in opinion were unlikely to last. But if canvassers were openly gay\u2014if they talked about their sexual orientations with voters\u2014the voters\u2019 shifts in opinion were still in evidence in the survey nine months later. The messenger, it turned out, was just as important as the message. The study formed the basis for a segment of \u201cThis American Life,\u201d and was featured on Science Friday and in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and the Washington Post. LaCour was offered a job at Princeton.\nFive months after the study\u2019s original publication, on Tuesday, May 19th, a PDF was posted to the Web site of David Broockman, a graduate student at U.C. Berkeley at the time. (This summer, he will start working as a professor at Stanford\u2019s Graduate School of Business.) In the document, \u201cIrregularities in LaCour (2014),\u201d Broockman, along with a fellow graduate student, Joshua Kalla, and a professor at Yale, Peter Aronow, argued that the survey data in the study showed multiple statistical irregularities and was likely \u201cnot collected as described.\u201d Almost simultaneously, Green sent a letter to Science asking to retract the paper: given the preponderance of evidence, he, too, believed that LaCour had fabricated the study\u2019s results. His letter soon appeared on the site Retraction Watch, and, on Wednesday, Science posted an \u201cEditorial expression of concern.\u201d Many media outlets appended editors\u2019 notes to their stories. A study that had excited researchers and journalists alike now looks suspect. What went wrong?\nGreen and LaCour first met in the summer of 2012, at the University of Michigan. Green was teaching a week-long summer workshop on experimental methods; LaCour was one of the students who signed up. \u201cHe was enterprising, he was energetic, [he was] technically able,\u201d Green recalled, when we spoke yesterday. When LaCour proposed an idea for a field study about changing voters\u2019 views on gay marriage through a contact-based approach, Green, who studies prejudice, was receptive.\nGood, careful, and controlled field experiments are a relative rarity in political science; it\u2019s difficult to devise and execute rigorous studies outside of the laboratory. But Green happened to know someone with the capability to execute the field intervention: his friend Dave Fleischer, who runs the Leadership Lab at the Los Angeles L.G.B.T. Center. Fleischer\u2019s canvassers were out in the field\u2014collectively, they had already conducted twelve thousand one-on-one conversations with voters\u2014and their efforts seemed to be a good platform for the study. When Fleischer met LaCour, he was impressed. \u201cHe was a prot\u00e9g\u00e9 of Don Green's. I have enormous respect for Don. His integrity is unimpeachable. If he says someone is a good guy, it means a lot to me. And I respected Mike's intelligence, his command of statistics, his interest\u2014which was genuine\u2014in what we were doing,\u201d Fleischer said. He was also excited to receive an independent assessment of the program\u2019s impact. \u201cWe were eager to measure how effective our work was in terms of magnitude and duration. We were doing a conscientious self-assessment all along, but that's not a substitute for an honest independent assessment of your work.\u201d\nA year later, in the summer of 2013, LaCour told Green that the study they\u2019d discussed back in Ann Arbor was complete: the results suggested that talking with openly gay canvassers could produce a durable attitude shift in favor of gay marriage. \u201cI\u2019m used to studying prejudice, teaching prejudice, thinking about prejudice, and the literature is just suffused with pessimism about any prospect of attitude change,\u201d Green told me. \u201cAnd here we have a study that shows it has profound effects to have contact with gays.\u201d Green was skeptical, and told LaCour that he needed to replicate the findings by sending out a second wave of Fleischer\u2019s canvassers and surveying a second set of voters. LaCour reported back; it appeared, Green said, that \u201cthe magic happened again.\u201d The data looked statistically solid, and the analyses seemed to back up LaCour\u2019s claims. The survey response rates looked abnormally high, but LaCour claimed to have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars in grant money to offer bonuses to people who responded to the survey; it was reasonable to think that the money was enough to account for their continued participation. Green volunteered to help LaCour draft the study. The next year, it was published.\nDavid Broockman and Joshua Kalla, the Berkeley grad students, were impressed by LaCour and Green\u2019s findings. They decided to devote their own resources to pushing the research further. Broockman and Kalla prepared the online surveys, taking the initial steps towards a pilot study on May 6th. Nine days later, they noticed that their response rates were much lower than LaCour and Green\u2019s. Hoping to match the earlier study's rates, they looked for more information. They enlisted Peter Aronow, a professor at Yale, and the three began to examine the nuances of the data set. When they began to encounter a number of statistical quirks, Green contacted LaCour\u2019s dissertation adviser, Lynn Vavreck. On Monday, Vavreck met with LaCour to demand the raw survey data. After some delay, LaCour told her that he had accidentally deleted it. Later, when the head of U.C.L.A.\u2019s political-science department called Qualtrics, the online survey platform used for the study, they said that they could find no evidence of a deletion: whatever data was collected in the account LaCour claimed to have used was, presumably, still there. (LaCour was also unable to provide the contact information for any of the respondents.) At Green\u2019s behest, Vavreck had also looked further into the study\u2019s financing. It turned out to be nonexistent. \u201cHe didn\u2019t have any grants coming to him. He had a small one that he didn't accept,\u201d Green said. \u201cThere was no data, and no plausible way of getting the data.\u201d\nOn Tuesday, Green called LaCour. He presented him with the picture as he saw it, and told him it was time to come clean. \u201cYou haven\u2019t shown us any evidence. It\u2019s time to admit the data are fabricated,\u201d he said. According to Green, LaCour\u2019s response was prompt: \u201cHe said, \u2018No, the data are real.\u2019 He was willing to admit he couldn\u2019t find the primary data, but that was all.\u201d Green gave him until the evening to submit a retraction. When LaCour failed to do so, he went ahead and submitted his own. When I reached out to LaCour for comment, I received the same reply that he posted on his Web site: \u201cI\u2019m gathering evidence and relevant information so I can provide a single comprehensive response. I will do so at my earliest opportunity.\u201d Since then, he has updated the site with a new note, which says that he has sent a statement to Marcia McNutt, the editor-in-chief of Science, \u201cproviding information as to why I stand by the findings in LaCour & Green (2014). I've requested that if Science editor McNutt publishes Professor's Green's retraction request, she publish my statement with it.\u201d\nIf, in the end, the data do turn out to be fraudulent, does that say anything about social science as a whole? On some level, the case would be a statistical fluke. Despite what news headlines would have you believe, outright fraud is incredibly rare; almost no one commits it, and almost no one experiences it firsthand. As a result, innocence is presumed, and the mindset is one of trust. LaCour was an energetic graduate student with the resources to follow through on an ambitious idea; to Green, once the details had been hammered out, there didn\u2019t seem to be a need for further monitoring.\nWhen fraud does occur, Green said, it\u2019s usually \u201con the intervention side, not the measurement side.\u201d The intervention\u2014in this case, finding people to go from house to house and ask the right questions\u2014is the hard part. People may lie about actually going into the field, or about the number of subjects they\u2019ve talked to, or about their thoroughness during those interviews. It\u2019s especially upsetting to Green that the intervention happened exactly as it should have. \u201cDave [Fleischer] and his team really did a canvassing intervention where they talked to some people about same-sex marriage,\u201d he said. \u201cIt was a careful, placebo-controlled design.\u201d It\u2019s the surveys, apparently, that never took place. \u201cThere was an experiment, but the outcomes were never measured. That\u2019s the real tragedy here. This is a truly outstanding experimental design and an outstanding group of canvassers,\u201d Green said. \u201cI keep getting e-mails from my colleagues saying, \u2018If we'd known the surveys weren't real, we would\u2019ve jumped in and done them.\u2019 That\u2019s the easy part.\u201d\nIn retrospect, Green wishes he had asked for the raw data earlier. And yet, in collaborations in which data is collected at only one institution, it\u2019s not uncommon for the collecting site to anonymize and code it before sharing it. The anonymized data Green did see looked plausible and convincing. \u201cHe analyzed it, I analyzed it\u2014I have the most ornate set of graphs and charts and every possible detail analyzed five different ways,\u201d Green said. Ultimately, though, the system takes for granted that no one would be so brazen as to create the actual raw data themselves.\nThere\u2019s another issue at play: the nature of belief. As I\u2019ve written before, we are far quicker to believe things that mesh with our view of how life should be. Green is a firm supporter of gay marriage, and that may have made him especially pleased about the study. (Did it have a similar effect on liberally minded reviewers at Science? We know that studies confirming liberal thinking sometimes get a pass where ones challenging those ideas might get killed in review; the same effect may have made journalists more excited about covering the results.) Green says that the main factor in his enthusiasm for the study was its elegant design. \u201cThere\u2019s a literature on attitudes toward gay people and how they change in the wake of contact, but it\u2019s not very good,\u201d he said. By contrast, this was \u201ca beautiful study\u201d because it took place outside of the lab, and because \u201cit separated the canvassing from the measurement.\u201d Green was especially enthusiastic about the mode of interaction used by the canvassers, which other studies have also shown to be effective. \u201cIt\u2019s a very high-quality interaction. It\u2019s not confrontational,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s a respectful two-way conversation and the person expressing the view is doing it in a way that accentuates shared goals.\u201d Perhaps because of his enthusiasm, Green took what he saw as the best precaution\u2014asking LaCour to replicate his results\u2014but, he said, \u201cdidn\u2019t realize that strategy had one gaping flaw: the same guy generated the data both times.\u201d\nIn short, confirmation bias\u2014which is especially powerful when we think about social issues\u2014may have made the study's shakiness easier to overlook. But, perhaps ironically, it was enthusiasm about the study that led to its exposure. The events of the past few days were the result not of skepticism but of belief. Red flags were raised because David Broockman and Joshua Kalla liked the study and wanted to build on it. \u201cOne way to spin this story is [to talk about] scientific fraud and the field\u2019s susceptibility to it,\u201d Green said. \u201cBut if there\u2019s a silver lining here it\u2019s the robust self-correcting aspects of science. David and Josh couldn\u2019t redo the study in the same way, so they started to ask deeper and deeper questions about the first study. They are the heroes of this story.\u201d Broockman and Kalla are now working with Fleischer to give the story a happier ending: when we spoke, Fleischer said that the three of them were in the process of running a new version of the study.\nMaria Konnikova is the author of \u201cThe Confidence Game\u201d and \u201cMastermind: How to Think Like Sherlock Holmes.\u201d\nThe key cases on reproductive rights hinged on privacy instead of equality.

        "raw_content": "Epidemiology of Norovirus in Japan, 2010/11-2013/14 seasons\n(IASR 35: 161-163, July 2014)\nNorovirus (NoV) is an RNA virus with 5 genogroups GI-GV, among which GI and GII cause human infection. GI genogroup contains at least 9 genotypes and GII genogroup is composed of 22 genotypes (see p. 173 of this issue). Persons infected with norovirus shed large quantities of virus in stool and vomit; virus is present in patients\u2019 stool for 10-21 days (occasionally for >1 month) after disappearance of clinical signs and symptoms (IASR 31: 319-320, 2010). NoV causes food poisonings. Person-to-person transmission occurs through contact (often via contaminated fingers) or inhalation of droplets of fresh vomit or dried-up vomitus (IASR 28: 84, 2007 & 29:196, 2008).\n1. Notification of infectious gastroenteritis reported under the National Epidemiological Surveillance of Infectious Diseases (NESID) and detection/isolation of NoV: Infectious gastroenteritis that includes NoV infection is reported from approximately 3,000 pediatric sentinels in Japan (http://www.niid.go.jp/niid/images/iasr/35/409/de4091.pdf). Each year, the number of infectious gastroenteritis cases increase towards the end of the calendar year forming a sharp peak at week 49 to 51, with approximately 18 cases reported per sentinel per week; after a temporary decline, NoV activity increases again, forming a broad arch shaped curve, from week 5 to 25 of the next year (Fig. 1; http://www.niid.go.jp/niid/en/10/2096-weeklygraph/1647-04gastro.html).\nPrefectural and municipal public health institutes (PHIs) report isolation/detection of causative agents of infectious gastro-enteritis, including NoV, to NESID using a case-based reporting form (IASR 31: 75-76, 2010). Among the reported pathogens, NoV is the most commonly reported, followed by rotavirus and sapovirus. NoV is dominant from November/December and continues to be reported through May, although rotavirus becomes more common from February (Fig. 1) (IASR 35: 63-64, 2014).\nAmong pathogens reported to NESID as causative agents of sporadic cases of infectious gastroenteritis, NoV occupies about one third of the pathogens detected from children 3 years old or younger (Fig. 2). With increase in age, the proportion of NoV increases.\nNoV detected during the 2010/11-2013/14 seasons was mostly of GII type (Fig. 1 & https://nesid4g.mhlw.go.jp/Byogentai/Pdf/data11e.pdf). Among NoVs detected from infectious gastroenteritis patients 0-15 years of age, GII/4 was dominant in the 2006/07-2009/10 seasons but GII/3 became the most frequent (50%) in the 2010/11 season (Table 1 in p. 163 of this issue & IASR 31: 312-314, 2010). Since the 2011/12 season, GII/4 once again became more dominant, and made up nearly 80% of the NoV detected during the 2012/13 season; many of the outbreaks during this season were due to the GII/4 variant (Sydney 2012) (see p. 165, 167, 168 & 169 of this issue and IASR 33: 333-334 & 334-335, 2012), which was epidemic abroad (IASR 34: 45-49, 2013).\n2. NoV detected from outbreak cases: Information of pathogen detection in food poisonings, complaints attributed to foods, as well as outbreaks of gastroenteritis due to person-to-person transmission are reported from PHIs as outbreak events.\nDuring the 2010/11-2013/14 seasons, 517-815 outbreaks were reported annually (Table 2 in p.163 of this issue). November and December were high seasons (Fig. 3). Among outbreaks with known genotype information, GII/3 was the most common during the 2010/11 season, while GII/4 became dominant since the 2011/12 season.\nFor the 2010/11-2013/14 seasons, foods were responsible for 700 outbreaks, person-to-person for 1,256 and 593 outbreaks were of unknown cause. The place most frequently suspected as the source of infection was nursery schools, followed by restaurants, nursing homes for the elderly, and primary schools. Person-to-person transmission was frequent in nursery and primary schools and nursing homes for the elderly. Foodborne infection was most frequently attributed to restaurants (Table 2 in p. 163 of this issue).\nDuring the 2010/11 season, foods were suspected in 141 of the 648 outbreaks. Person-to-person transmission was most common and suspected for 355 outbreaks, accounting for more than half of the outbreaks; frequently suspected locations were nursery schools, restaurants and primary schools. GII/3 was frequently found in nursery and primary schools while nursing homes for the elderly was more associated with GII/4.\nFor the 2011/12-2013/14 seasons, person-to-person transmission was suspected for 212, 394, and 295 outbreaks in each respective season. During the 2012/13 season, nursing homes for the elderly were suspected for 141 outbreaks. GII/4 was dominant and responsible for 500 outbreaks; among them, 176 and 86 outbreaks occurred in nursing homes for the elderly and nursery schools, respectively, where person-to-person transmission is suspected as the main route of infection. There were 59 outbreaks associated with restaurants.\n3. Statistics of Food Poisoning: Statistics for food poisoning managed by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) contains data on NoV-related events (IASR 32: 352-353, 2011, https://idsc.niid.go.jp/iasr/32/382/tpc382.html). The number of NoV-related events was 293 (8,086 patients) in 2010/11, 317 (10,969 patients) in 2011/12, 437 (19,709 patients) in 2012/13, and 228 (8,903 patients) in 2013/14 (as of June 2, 2014). In the 2012/13 season, the number of patients per outbreak exceeded 500 in three events (2,035, 1,442 and 526, respectively). In the 2013/14 season, there was a large-scale outbreak involving 8,027 persons, causing food poisoning in 1,271 persons (see p. 164 of this issue).\nDuring the 2010/11-2013/14 seasons, the most frequent number of patients per event was 17-32 (327 events) followed by 9-16 (310 events) and 33-64 (226 events)(Fig. 4). The place most frequently suspected as the source infection was restaurants (906 events), followed by hotels (111 events) and caterers (85 events).\n4. Preventive measures and challenges: In order to improve and promote prevention of norovirus infection, MHLW issues a public notice every season (in November 20, 2013 for the 2013/14 season) (http://www.mhlw.go.jp/topics/syokuchu/dl/131120_1.pdf). For NoV prevention, attention should be paid to trends in infectious gastroenteritis and NoV detection informa-tion.\nInfection control including hand washing, proper clothing and use of gloves in food handling areas and other standard hygienic measures should be implemented (IASR 33: 137-138 & 334-335, 2012). Health condition of food handlers should be monitored and maintained through implementation of regular health checks (IASR 34: 265-266, 2013). These measures should be maintained throughout the year as NoV activity is continuous. For rapidly identifying the cause of food poisoning and for preventing further spread, standardized methods for detecting virus from foods need to be established.\nDevelopment of NoV vaccine is identified as a high priority for the MHLW\u2019s master plan for immunization (MHLW, notification number 121, 2014; see http://www.mhlw.go.jp/stf/seisakunitsuite/bunya/kenkou_iryou/kenkou/kekkaku-kansenshou/kihonteki_keikaku/index.html). Effective vaccine development requires comprehensive information, such as pathogen information obtained through NESID, knowledge on antigen variability and mutation/evolution of the major antigen determinant gene(s) (see p. 170 of this issue), and computational prediction of virus evolution (see p. 171 of this issue).",

The substantial water savings were achieved thanks to Nissan\u2019s advanced Foam Wash technique to clean cars at its service centres across India, and underlines the company\u2019s commitment to deliver sustainable mobility to customers and society.\nCar washes at service centres are a major component of after sales and servicing of customers\u2019 vehicles which require a large amount of water. Traditional car washes generally require around 160 litres of water to clean one car. The Foam Wash technique, introduced in 2014 at Nissan service centres, uses only 90 litres of water per car which reduces water consumption by 45 percent. The amount of water saved by the company is equivalent to the water consumption of around 25,000 households in India for one day.\nCommenting on this eco-friendly achievement, Sanjeev Aggarwal, VP- After Sales, Nissan Motor India Pvt. Ltd. said, \u201cNissan always aims to deliver innovative and best-in-class sales and after sales service to its customers. Using the foam wash technique for our customers\u2019 cars saves their time and a significant amount of water. That\u2019s a winning combination for both Nissan and Datsun customers and for the environment.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "March 11, 2010 Life + Outdoors \u00bb Field Notes\nA Pair of Paradoxes\nThis is great! If my friend's wallet has more money in it than my wallet, I win their money-while if it has less money than mine, I lose my money. Since I stand to win more than I stand to lose, the odds are in my favor.\nParadox: a seemingly contradictory statement that may nevertheless be true.\nThe story goes that in 1943, the Swedish Broadcasting Company announced that a civil defense test would be held one day of the following week, starting Sunday and ending Saturday. In order to test the efficiency of the Civil Defense units, the actual day of the test would be kept secret until it actually happened -- i.e. it would be unexpected. Suppose you were in charge of one of the units, and you were trying to figure out in advance which day the test would take place. You might reason thus:\n\"If by Friday evening, I haven't been advised of the test, it must take place the next day, Saturday (the last possible day). But hang on -- it's supposed to be a secret! So Saturday's eliminated, meaning it must be scheduled for between Sunday and Friday. Now, if Thursday evening arrives with no test being announced, it must happen on Friday or Saturday, and since I've eliminated Saturday, it's going to happen on Friday. But then it wouldn't be a secret -- so it can't happen on Friday!\"\nYou can probably see where this is going: Each of the remaining days, from Thursday back to Sunday, can be eliminated by the same logic. So you conclude, with unimpeachable logic, that the test can't possibly take place, and you relax -- until at dawn on Wednesday, when the test is announced. It is, as promised, unexpected. The announcement is now seen to be perfectly logical, even though you previously proved that it couldn't be. How come?\nThe second paradox involves the case of Alice and Bart, who are equally well-off. They're having a coffee together, and on a whim decide to bet on the contents of their wallets: Whoever has the least cash receives the contents of the other's wallet. Alice reasons, \"The most I can lose is the contents of my wallet. But, since neither of us know how much is in the other's wallet, I have a 50/50 chance of winning, and if I win, I'll gain more than the contents of my wallet. Since I stand to win more than I stand to lose, the odds are in my favor!\"\nBart reasons exactly the same way, concluding that the odds are in his favor. How can the odds favor both of them?\nA good paradox is like a good joke. If someone has to explain it, it takes the bite out of it, and sometimes the best jokes are the ones we don't \"get\" right away. If you're like me, you'll be doing something completely different, and suddenly start chuckling. (This usually happens to me while listening to a serious talk in a crowded lecture theater.) So forgive me if I stop this column right here.\nBarry Evans (barryevans9@yahoo.com) sometimes thinks it's all a paradox. Especially in Old Town Eureka, where he lives.",

        "raw_content": "Stress From Racism May Be Causing African-American Babies To Die More Often : Shots - Health News African-American women are more likely to lose a baby in the first year of life than women of any other race. Scientists think that stress from racism makes their bodies and babies more vulnerable.\nHow Racism May Cause Black Mothers To Suffer The Death Of Their Infants 7:02\nSamantha Pierce of Cleveland has a 7-year-old daughter, Camryn. In 2009, Pierce gave premature birth to twins. The babies did not survive. Scientists say black women lead more stressful lives, which makes them more likely to give birth prematurely and puts their babies at risk of dying. Dustin Franz for NPR hide caption\nDustin Franz for NPR\nEditor's note: This story contains language that may be offensive.\nIn February 2009, Samantha Pierce became pregnant with twins. It was a time when things were going really well in her life.\nShe and her husband had recently gotten married. They had good jobs.\n\"I was a kick-ass community organizer,\" says Pierce, who is African-American and lives in Cleveland. She worked for a nonprofit that fought against predatory lending. The organization was growing, and Pierce had been promoted to management.\nIt felt like a good time to get pregnant. \"I went to get my birth control taken out and showed up two weeks later, like 'Hey, We're pregnant!' \" she says, laughing.\nPierce thought she was a poster child for a good pregnancy. She already had one son from a previous marriage, and that pregnancy was healthy and normal. She had a college degree, which is known to improve women's chances of having a healthy pregnancy. She was getting regular checkups and taking her prenatal vitamins.\nEverything went smoothly until one day in her second trimester she discovered she was leaking fluid. After a week in the hospital, still leaking, her water broke and she gave birth to her sons. \"They lived for about five minutes, each of them,\" she says. \"But they couldn't breathe. They didn't have lungs. We got to hold them, talk to them. I could see them breathing. I could also see them stop breathing, you know.\"\nPierce was devastated. For months, she couldn't bear to look at herself in the mirror, especially her stomach. She felt as if her womb was a cemetery \u2014 \"a walking tomb,\" she says. \"It was just walking evidence of loss, of failure, of not being able to hold kids in. I couldn't even do the one thing I was put on this planet for, which was bear children.\"\nA chilling statistic\nWhat Samantha Pierce didn't know then was that her twins had become part of a chilling statistic. \"Black babies in the United States die at just over two times the rate of white babies in the first year of their life,\" says Arthur James, an OB-GYN at Wexner Medical Center at Ohio State University in Columbus. According to the most recent data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, for every 1,000 live births, 4.8 white infants die in the first year of life. For black babies, that number is 11.7.\nThe majority of those black infants that die are born premature, says James, because black mothers like Pierce have a higher risk of going into early labor.\nIs It Time To Stop Using Race In Medical Research?\nScientists and doctors have spent decades trying to understand what makes African-American women so vulnerable to losing their babies. Now, there is growing consensus that racial discrimination experienced by black mothers during their lifetime makes them less likely to carry their babies to full term.\nJames, 65, has seen far too many black babies who didn't survive.\nIt just doesn't seem right, says James, who is also African-American. \"You ask yourself the question: What is it about being black that places us at an increased risk for that kind of experience?\"\nA decades-long quest\nRichard David, a neonatologist at the University of Illinois of Chicago, has been studying this for decades. When he first began looking into the problem in the 1980s, he says scientists thought the two main culprits were poverty and lack of education.\n\"We knew African-American women were more likely to be poor,\" says David. \"We knew that fewer of them had completed their education by the time they were bearing children.\"\nBut David, who at the time was at the Cook County Hospital in Chicago, and his colleague James Collins at Northwestern University Medical School found that even educated, middle-class African-American women were at a higher risk of having smaller, premature babies with a lower chance of survival.\nFor example, David says, black and white teenage mothers growing up in poor neighborhoods both have a higher risk of having smaller, premature babies. \"They both have something like a 13 percent chance of having a low birth weight baby,\" he says.\nBut in higher-income neighborhoods where women are likely to be slightly older and more educated, \"among white women, the risk of low birth weight drops dramatically to about half of that, whereas for African-American women, it only drops a little bit.\"\nIn fact, today, a college-educated black woman like Samantha Pierce is more likely to give birth prematurely than a white woman with a high school degree.\n\"That's exactly the kind of case that makes us ask the question: What else is there?\" says David. \"What are we missing?\"\nSome people suggested that the root cause may be genetics. But if genes are at play, then women from Africa would also have the same risks. So, David and his colleague, Collins, looked at the babies of immigrant women from West Africa. But as they reported in their 1997 study in The New England Journal of Medicine, those babies were more like white babies \u2014 they were bigger and more likely to be full term. So, it clearly isn't genetics, says David.\nThen, many years later, David and Collins noticed something startling. The grandchildren of African immigrant women were born smaller than their mothers had been at birth. In other words, the grandchildren were more likely to be premature, like African-American babies.\nThis was also true of the grandchildren of black women who had emigrated from the Caribbean.\nMeanwhile, the grandchildren of white European immigrant women were bigger than their mothers when they were born. David and Collins published their results in 2002 in the American Journal of Epidemiology.\n\"So, there was something about growing up black in the United States and then bearing a child that was associated with lower birth weight,\" says David.\nGrowing up black and female in America\nWhat is different about growing up black in America is discrimination, says David. \"It's hard to find any aspect of life that's not impacted by racial discrimination,\" he says. \"Whether you're talking about applying for a job, or purchasing a new car, finding housing, getting education ... even given equal education, earning the same amount of money, that doesn't happen. If you're black, you tend to get less pay.\"\nAs a recent poll by NPR, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health found, 92 percent of African-Americans believe that discrimination against African-Americans exists in America today. Higher education and income did not necessarily mean people experienced less discrimination, the poll found.\nIn 2004, David and Collins published a study in the American Journal of Public Health in which they reported the connection between a mother's experience of racism and preterm birth. They asked women about their housing, income, health habits and discrimination. \"It turned out that as a predictor of a very low birth weight outcome, these racial discrimination questions were more powerful than asking a woman whether or not she smoked cigarettes,\" David says.\nOther studies have shown the same results.\nSamantha Pierce didn't know this when she was pregnant back in 2009. But she did know discrimination. She was 7 or 8 years old the first time someone called her the N-word. She was with her mother, visiting Murray Hill, Cleveland's Italian neighborhood.\nSamantha Pierce works out during a hip-hop aerobic class at Naturally Gifted Fitness Center in Cleveland Heights.

She works out regularly with her friends and trains other women, who are mostly African-American. Exercise provides a source of social support, which many black women say they don't have.\n\"We were just driving through,\" she says. \"We were driving, literally with our windows down, and we were called niggers, just going up the hill.\"\nThe memory still makes her angry. \"It does not matter that my mother owned her own home,\" says Pierce. \"It does not matter that we owned that car, because we did! It did not matter that I went to private school, because I did! When I was riding up Murray Hill, I was a nigger, and so was my mother.\"\nIt wasn't the only time she was made to feel inferior for being black. She felt it at school, too.\nPierce remembers her mother warning her early on in her childhood that she would have to \"work twice as hard to get half as much\" as her white counterparts, she says.\nShe says her mother's words ring true even today at work.\nThen there is the everyday racism, says Pierce, like being shadowed at stores by the staff, even when she is with a white friend. Pierce says her white friends don't even notice. These kinds of things happen every day, she says.\nBlack women are often the primary breadwinner and caregiver, Arthur James from Ohio State notes. That is partly because of the higher incarceration rate and unemployment rate among black men, he says. \"That's added to the burden of black women.\" That burden and the stress from discrimination, it all adds up, he says.\nStress and labor\nWhen we are stressed, our bodies produce stress hormones. When the source of stress goes away, so do the stress hormones. It's a normal, healthy process. But when someone is stressed out all the time, their bodies have perpetually high levels of stress hormones.\nStress hormones are also naturally high during normal, full-term labor. But if a woman goes into a pregnancy with already high levels of stress hormones, she is more likely to deliver prematurely, says James.\n\"We think that higher levels of stress hormones increase the incidence of pre-term labor,\" he says.\nSeveral months after she lost her first set of twins, Samantha Pierce got pregnant with Camryn and Caedyn, now 7 years old. For that pregnancy, she was put on bed rest. Dustin Franz for NPR hide caption\nSeveral months after she lost her first set of twins, Samantha Pierce got pregnant with Camryn and Caedyn, now 7 years old. For that pregnancy, she was put on bed rest.\nWhen Samantha Pierce first learned about this, a few years after her twins died, it was as if a light bulb went off. \"Stress leads to labor. And African-American women live a more stressful life,\" she says. \"And so we hit preterm birth at an alarming rate.\"\nPierce went on to get pregnant again. This time, too, she had twins. She was placed on bed rest, but the pregnancy went smoothly. Her twins \u2014 a boy and a girl \u2014 are now 7 years old and healthy.\nThese days, Pierce is on a mission to fight back against all the stress for her generation of black women and also her daughter's. And she uses exercise as a weapon. She works out regularly at a gym in Cleveland with other women. And she is now a certified personal trainer. Her clients are mostly African-American women.\nExercise isn't just about getting fit, she says. It can also provide social support, which many black women say they lack.\n\"We really are hard on ourselves,\" says Pierce. \"And so we really need other women, especially other black women to say, 'I see you. You're doing fine. Keep going.' \"\nPierce can't change how society treats black women. But she is trying hard to change how black women cope with stress. If they can make their bodies more resilient, it might give their babies a better chance of surviving.",

In the meantime, as always, leave your hot tips, scurrilous attacks and existential questions in the comments section or direct them to @annalisa_quinn on Twitter.\nThe U.K. prisoners' rights group Reprieve claimed this week that authorities blocked a copy of Alexander Solzhenitsyn's Soviet-era classic The Gulag Archipelago, about the nightmarish Soviet labor camps, from reaching a prisoner in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Although books with violent or extremist themes are kept out of the prison as a policy, critics say many books at the U.S. military prison are banned without reason. Earlier this summer, John Grisham wrote a condemnatory op-ed for The New York Times after discovering that two of his books had been banned at the prison. The Pentagon later told The Wall Street Journal it was \"a misunderstanding.\" On a more cheerful note, NPR's Bill Chappell wrote Thursday that reports of Fifty Shades-mania among prisoners at Guantanamo Bay may have been greatly exaggerated.\nThe journalist Giancarlo DiTrapano caused a stir in literary circles by writing in a profile of author Junot Diaz that a distinguished New York Times book critic was \"notorious for going completely relentless bitch on many a good book.\" (The profile was in Playboy, but still.)\nComedian and Parks & Recreation star Aziz Ansari has a book deal with Penguin Press. Ansari wrote in the press release, \"You know when you text someone you're romantically interested in and you don't hear anything back and then you see them post a photo of a pizza on Instagram? That's exactly what I want this book to deal with.\" Publisher's Weekly tweeted that the advance was rumored to be $3.5 million.\nJoan Didion told the Los Angeles Times' Carolyn Kellogg that she became friends with Harrison Ford because he built her beach house. She says: \"He was a carpenter. I was happy with his work \u2014 and even happier with his presence in the house because he was a great moral force.\"",

Earl Ray Tomblin\u2019s veto of a permitless concealed-carry measure, ensuring that law-abiding Mountain State residents soon will be able to more easily exercise their right to keep and bear arms.\nThis was the second straight year Tomblin had vetoed such a measure, which rescinds the law making it a crime for a person to carry a concealed firearm without a permit. The new law will take effect June 5. \u201cSelf-defense is a fundamental right that must be respected,\u201d Chris W. Cox, executive director of NRA\u2019s Institute for Legislative Action, said after the veto override. \u201cLaw-abiding West Virginians are now free to choose the method of self-defense that best suits their needs. The NRA and our 5 million members are pleased that the Legislature voted in support of West Virginians\u2019 Second Amendment freedoms.\u201d\nCurrent law allows for open carry without a permit, but makes it a crime for a person to carry a concealed firearm without a permit. Once enacted, law-abiding West Virginians will be able to carry their firearm in the manner they choose. HB 4145 also strengthens penalties for anyone caught carrying illegally and recognizes the Second Amendment-protected rights of individuals between the ages of 18 and 21. Under current law, law-abiding adults ages 18-21 are prohibited from carrying concealed in West Virginia. The enactment of HB 4145 will, upon completion of a training program, allow these lawful adults to obtain a concealed-carry permit.\nWest Virginia joins seven states that have enacted permitless concealed carry, none of which have seen any detrimental effect on public safety. NRA-ILA thanks Speaker Tim Armstead, Del. Saira Blair, Sen. Bill Cole, Sen. Craig Blair, Sen.

        "raw_content": "As the days grow shorter and darker, those with SAD may find themselves feeling down and longing for the brighter, sunnier days of summer. For those suffering with this condition, fall and winter can feel like they last an eternity, depriving them of the light they need to feel good. This condition is increasingly common, especially among those who live in the far north regions of the United States and if you suffer from it you\u2019re not alone. In some cases, the sadness and depression that can result from SAD can lead to more severe depression and even alcohol abuse. So how can you make it through winter with your mental health intact if you suffer from seasonal affective disorder? It might not be as bad as you think.\nSo just what is seasonal affective disorder and how can you know if you have it? While only a doctor can tell you for sure, there are some telltale signs that you\u2019ll need to be on the lookout for. Those with SAD are generally upbeat for most of the year, only feeling depressed in late fall and winter. Depression is usually mild but can be severe for some patients. Some warning signs are oversleeping, daytime fatigue, weight gain and craving high calorie or carb foods. Additionally, suffers may get some of the typical symptoms of depression like lack of interest in sex, social withdrawal, lethargy and thoughts of suicide.\nIf you think some of these symptoms may describe you, then there are avenues for treatment you can peruse. One of the most common ways SAD is treated is through light therapy. Patients use a special UV light in their own homes, sitting under it for an hour or so a day. Usually, if this treatment is performed correctly, patients will see an improvement in their mood in a matter of days . This simple, natural treatment can make a world of difference for those suffering from the condition.\nWhile light therapy is the most common treatment for SAD, other options are available as well. For those with more severe SAD, prescription anti-depressants may be needed. Others have seen relief from taking a vitamin D supplement, changing the lighting in their homes, or even engaging in fake tanning. You should consult with a physician before beginning any course of treatment to find out what will be right for you given the severity and unique aspects of your SAD.\nThere\u2019s no reason to suffer through the short days of winter without help for your seasonal affective disorder. With lights and other treatments available, you can work at feeling like your old self no matter what month or time of the year it is.",

        "title": "Why blacks can't help but read Trump's latest unfounded allegations against Obama as racially tinged - New York Daily News",
        "raw_content": "Why blacks can't help but read Trump's latest unfounded allegations against Obama as racially tinged\nBy Sophia Nelson\nBefore the latest insult (Pablo Martinez Monsivais/AP)\nWe've heard and seen it too many times before: They're shady. They can't be trusted. They engage in illegal activities as a matter of course.\nThis racially charged and stereotypical narrative about black men in America is typical \u2014 so typical that we all (even black people) sometimes just accept it.\nThe most recent victim of such a narrative isn't just any black man, though. It's the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama.\nThe person painting the narrative is none other than current President of the United States, Donald Trump. Trump has been smearing Obama since 2011 with claims that the former President was not really born in America, and that he needed to show his birth certificate and prove his legitimacy to the American people. Obama produced his birth certificate in 2011, and Trump persisted with his claims for another five years.\nThat foul and racist suggestion made Trump a hero to many in this country, and paved the way for his unlikely presidential run in 2015. In September 2016, then-candidate Trump begrudgingly declared the birtherism issue settled. But he never apologized.\nOn Twitter a little more than two weeks ago, Trump made another outrageous claim against Obama: that he had authorized illegal wiretapping of Trump Tower in New York during the 2016 campaign. Trump seems to have based those outrageous allegations on an assertion by conservative talk show host Mark Levin that was picked up by Breitbart News.\nAfter these reports, Fox News Contributor Judge Andrew Napolitano speculated on air about whether or not British intelligence may have been involved. White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer then repeated the Napolitano quote, causing an international incident with one of our closest allies.\nIn testimony before the House Intelligence Committee on Monday, FBI Director James Comey made clear that neither the Department of Justice nor the FBI has found any evidence that Obama either lawfully or illegally wiretapped Trump. Key members of both the House and Senate Intelligence Committees have publicly gone on television networks and said the same.\nAnd so, Trump's latest anti-Obama allegations are definitively revealed to be bogus \u2014 and, in my view, the product of bias.\nNo white President have ever been asked to produce his birth-certificate and then go on to be accused of illegally wire-tapping his successor. Remember: Not long ago, Trump praised Obama for his help with the presidential transition. He said the Obamas had been \"gracious\" and \"magnificent.\"\nAll of a sudden, he has taken back his praise in order to hurl more unfounded allegations against his predecessor and his legitimacy as a President.\nObama was a model of good character and a great role model for black men and boys. That Trump keeps attacking his truthfulness and trustworthiness rightly reeks to black people of racial subtext.\nTrump must explain himself and he must apologize to the former President. To do any less is to send a very loud signal to black Americans that we can be smeared, lied on, made suspect and investigated even when we ourselves have been model citizens and risen to the nation's highest heights.\nNelson is the author of \"E Pluribus One: Reclaiming Our Founders' Vision for a United America.\"",

Putin of Russia said he would not attend because his schedule was too crowded and because he had not received an invitation. Museum officials said no head of state had received one. Mr. Putin had attended the 60th anniversary ceremony in 2005 \u2014 it was Soviet troops, after all, who liberated the camp in 1945 \u2014 but relations between Russia and Poland have soured over the conflict in Ukraine.\nPrevious commemorations had been held outside, Mr. Kacorzyk said, but it can be very cold in Poland in late January. The remaining survivors will be among about 3,000 dignitaries who will keep warm beneath a tent large enough to enclose the entire redbrick gateway building to Auschwitz II and its peaked tower, familiar from many films as a symbol of Nazi atrocities.\nChildren at Auschwitz after the liberation by Soviet troops in January 1945. An anniversary event is scheduled for Tuesday.CreditSub/CAF PAP, via Associated Press\n\u201cAuschwitz is important because it was ground zero of what the Nazis did,\u201d said Ronald S. Lauder, president of the World Jewish Congress and a major contributor to the preservation of the museum complex. \u201cAnd it is important because anti-Semitism is like a virus. You think it goes away but then it\u2019s coming back. Right now, it is coming back very strongly.\u201d\nPresident Bronislaw Komorowski of Poland will open the ceremony, and Mr. Lauder will deliver a short speech. But most of the speakers at the memorial event will be survivors, telling their own stories.\n\u201cI was there from September of 1944 until the end,\u201d said Ryszard Horowitz, a photographer now living in New York who was 5 when Auschwitz was liberated. \u201cI remember several scenes from the end. I know we were, at one point, lined up to be killed, just before the liberation, when one of the SS people arrived screaming that the Russians were coming, so they just dropped everything and ran and left us.\u201d\nMr. Horowitz said he would not attend this year\u2019s ceremony.\n\u201cI went there twice after the war,\u201d he said. \u201cOnce, when I was quite young, and then I went back during one of my return trips to Poland in the 1970s. That was enough for me. I do not want to go back.\u201d\nHis sister, Niusia Karakulski, who also survived the camps, will represent the family at the event.\nThis year\u2019s anniversary also coincides with a shift in the way the site\u2019s administrators conceive of their mission. From now on, they said, the site will be organized to explain to generations who were not alive during the war what happened rather than to act as a memorial to those who suffered through it.\nA foundation has been raising money for a new wave of preservation. There will be new exhibition halls, and a visitor\u2019s center will be built in the camp\u2019s former meat processing and dairy site. A theater built for Polish troops before the war will become an educational center.\nUntil now, the faces and stories of the Nazi commanders and soldiers were nowhere to be seen. \u201cThe people who lived through it knew their faces, and did not want to see them,\u201d said Pawel Sawicki, chief spokesman for the museum. But new visitors, who grew up after the war, need to hear that side of the story, too, he said, and to see the faces of those responsible.\nDisplays have focused on demonstrating the huge scale of the murders at the camps \u2014 giant piles of eyeglasses and battered luggage and mountains of human hair. Those will remain, but they will be augmented by more individual stories, Mr. Sawicki said.\n\u201cBut the biggest and most urgent issue is the brick structures at Auschwitz II,\u201d he said. \u201cThey are disintegrating and if we don\u2019t do them now, they will be lost.\u201d\nDiscarded shoes at the former Nazi concentration camp.

The project to preserve them, just underway, will take 15 years.\nIn a gleaming laboratory, scientists bent over magnifying glasses the size of dinner plates and stirred chemicals in glass containers, trying to determine the exact makeup of the bricks that had been used in each structure.\n\u201cWe learn as we go,\u201d said Anna Lopuska, one of the preservationists, poking at a shard of brick.\nMuseum officials determined that a fund of 120 million euros, about $136 million, was needed to pay for this new wave of work and future efforts. As of late last year, \u20ac102 million had been raised.\nMuseum officials hope to be able to announce, during next week\u2019s ceremony, the names of 18 \u201cpillars of memory,\u201d individuals who have agreed to donate \u20ac1 million each to complete the drive.\n\u201cIt is very hard to pass the baton to a new generation, people who are living in different circumstances in a new century,\u201d Mr. Lauder said. \u201cYour parents may want to pass the torch to you, but it is hard to take up the cause of their life. And in many cases now, we are talking about the grandchildren of survivors.\u201d\nBut perhaps, he said, the outbreaks of anti-Semitism across Europe will help galvanize these new generations.\n\u201cWhen the war was over, everybody was convinced it would be the end of war and of anti-Semitism,\u201d said Michal Salomonovic, 81, who spent several weeks in Auschwitz as a young man.\nMr. Salomonovic has returned to the camps from his home in Ostrava, in the Czech Republic, many times, often leading groups of college students. He says he will be under the tent to witness next week\u2019s ceremony.\n\u201cPeople simply have not learned the lesson of Auschwitz,\u201d he said.\nAn article on Jan. 24 about a ceremony to be held at the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum near Oswiecim, Poland, the following week marking the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi camps at the end of World War II misstated the given name of an Auschwitz survivor who planned to attend the gathering. He is Michal Salomonovic, not Milan. The same error appeared in the correction below on Jan. 27. Also, the name of a contributor to the article was omitted. Hana de Goeij contributed reporting from Prague.\nBecause of an editing error, an article on Saturday about what is likely to be the last large gathering of survivors of the Nazi concentration camps at Auschwitz this week at the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum near Oswiecim, Poland, to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the camps\u2019 liberation at the end of World War II, referred incorrectly to a theater at the museum site that will become an educational center. It was used by Polish troops before the war, not during it. The article also misidentified the hometown of Michal Salomonovic, a survivor who plans to attend the ceremony. It is Ostrava, in the Czech Republic, not Prague.\nHana de Goeij contributed reporting from Prague.\nA version of this article appears in print on , on Page A8 of the New York edition with the headline: For Auschwitz Museum, a Time of Great Change.

        "raw_content": "New York|The Curious Case of the Yeshiva Carve-Out\nThe Curious Case of the Yeshiva Carve-Out\nDemocratic State Senator Simcha Felder, of Brooklyn, sought changes to rules about the oversight of religious schools before he would vote for a budget deal.CreditCreditNathaniel Brooks for The New York Times\nAmid the fevered last hours of New York State budget negotiations on Friday, with lawmakers scrambling to beat the April 1 deadline, a single, seemingly esoteric issue threatened to derail it all: state oversight of religious schools.\nTop lawmakers accused one senator, Simcha Felder, of Brooklyn, of essentially holding the $168 billion budget hostage until the state agreed not to interfere with the curriculum at the private Jewish schools known as yeshivas. Some critics have accused the schools, which focus on the study of traditional Jewish texts, of leaving students without a basic command of English, math, history or science.\nThe drama highlighted Mr. Felder\u2019s unique sway in Albany. As a Democrat who caucuses with the Republicans, thus giving them a slim majority in the chamber, he is courted by both parties; both are loath to alienate him or the overwhelmingly Orthodox Jewish population he represents.\nAnd on Saturday, when the final budget passed at 4 a.m., Mr. Felder\u2019s influence seemed confirmed. The legislation carved out special standards for schools with especially long school days, bilingual programs and nonprofit status \u2014 in effect, yeshivas \u2014 in determining whether they offered educations equivalent to those at public schools, as required by law.\n\u201cParents should have the ability to decide what sort of education their children receive,\u201d Mr. Felder said in an interview on Monday, calling the bill the \u201cbeginning of a process that not only pertains to yeshivas but to alternative schools of any sort.\u201d\nAssemblywoman Catherine Nolan, a veteran Democrat from Queens who chairs that chamber\u2019s education committee, was blunt about the political calculus behind the yeshiva language. \u201cEven if we had to do something for Simcha,\u201d she said, \u201cwe could have minimized the damage to kids with narrowed language.\u201d\nBut Mr. Felder\u2019s victory quickly began to seem less decisive.\nWhile the bill broadened the criteria for evaluating the so-called \u201csubstantial equivalency\u201d of the schools\u2019 curriculum to the public school version, it also for the first time granted the state education commissioner explicit authority to evaluate that equivalency \u2014 a power previously reserved for individual school districts. Critics have suggested that school officials in New York City have ignored the subpar education at yeshivas because of the Jewish community\u2019s political clout.\n\u201cI don\u2019t know if we met Senator Felder\u2019s demands,\u201d said the Assembly speaker, Carl E. Heastie. \u201cI think we read the bill a different way.\u201d\nHe added: \u201cIt empowers S.E.D.,\u201d or the state education department.\nDiffering interpretations aside, the battle has thrust the somewhat arcane world of yeshivas \u2014 which teach about 57,000 students in New York City, and which the city has promised for years to investigate \u2014 into the spotlight.\nA yeshiva in Kiryas Joel, a predominantly Orthodox Jewish village within the town of Monroe, N.Y. The schools have been criticized for not teaching English, math and other secular subjects.CreditPiotr Redlinski for The New York Times\n\u201cI could never have imagined so much attention,\u201d Naftuli Moster, a yeshiva graduate who now leads a group advocating for their reform, said. \u201cWe have groups that have never been interested in looking into an issue mostly relevant to nonpublic schools.\n\u201cSuddenly, when this holds up a $168 billion budget, they\u2019re taking a closer look,\u201d he said.\nThe lack of attention is one of Mr. Moster\u2019s biggest complaints. In 2015, under Mayor Bill de Blasio, the Department of Education agreed to investigate the quality of schooling at yeshivas, at the request of Mr. Moster\u2019s group, Young Advocates for Fair Education. Mr. Moster said that when he graduated from a yeshiva, he had never heard of basic scientific concepts, including the word \u201cmolecule.\u201d\nNearly three years later, the results of that investigation have yet to materialize. Toya Holness, a spokeswoman for the education department, said the probe was \u201congoing\u201d and that there was no timeline for completion. Last September, the department said it had visited six yeshivas; on Monday, Ms. Holness said it had visited 15. About three dozen schools were supposed to be investigated.\nMr. Moster\u2019s group has accused the city of dragging its feet for political reasons, out of fear of angering the ultra-Orthodox community, which is known to vote as a bloc.\nThe state education department\u2019s new oversight may spur quicker action, as the department has been moving to sharpen the guidelines for evaluating equivalency at private schools. But Emily DeSantis, spokeswoman for the department, said the department was still reviewing the law and emphasized that local superintendents would still be responsible for the quality of private schools in their districts.\nAnd state officials are no more immune to concerns about alienating Mr. Felder and his constituents than their counterparts in the city.\nThe Byzantine politics of Albany seem poised to give Mr. Felder even more power this year. Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo has announced his intention to help Senate Democrats regain control of the chamber through two special elections and a proposed reunification deal with a group of eight breakaway Democrats, known as the Independent Democratic Conference. But even if that agreement holds, the Democrats will still be one vote short of a majority, unless Mr. Felder, too, rejoins the fold \u2014 something he has not committed to doing.\nAt a news conference about the budget on Friday, Mr. Cuomo declined to take a stance on the issue of state oversight of yeshivas, saying that it was \u201cvery important to the Orthodox Jewish community for good reason, but it\u2019s also important that we have a substantially equivalent education.\u201d\nMs. Holness, the spokeswoman for the city\u2019s education department, declined to comment on how the revised state guidance would affect the city\u2019s inquiry. But Mr. Moster, who said he has raised more than $10,000 to put up a billboard accusing Mr. de Blasio of turning a blind eye to yeshivas, said that the broadened language should not preclude the city from issuing its findings. \u201cI think the city owes city residents the report regardless,\u201d he said.\nAnd he dismissed the political maneuvers that might be at play.\n\u201cI believe our issue is, or should be, the most nonpartisan issue out there,\u201d Mr. Moster said. \u201cKids getting a basic education.\u201d\nKate Taylor contributed reporting.\nA version of this article appears in print on , on Page A23 of the New York edition with the headline: Sway of State Senator Spares Jewish Schools Curriculum Oversight.

        "raw_content": "Americas|Far-Right Candidate Jair Bolsonaro Widens Lead in Brazil\u2019s Presidential Race\nFar-Right Candidate Jair Bolsonaro Widens Lead in Brazil\u2019s Presidential Race\nJair Bolsonaro, a far-right presidential candidate in Brazil, outside his congressional office last year. His poll numbers have increased after he was stabbed while campaigning in September.CreditCreditLalo de Almeida for The New York Times\nBy Ernesto Londo\u00f1o and Shasta Darlington\nRIO DE JANEIRO \u2014 In the last days of Brazil\u2019s splintered and divisive presidential race, most of the 13 candidates stumped across the country, sparring in debates and broadcasting attack ads in a last-ditch bid for votes.\nBut Jair Bolsonaro, the populist, far-right candidate leading the pack, spent much of the final stretch in a hospital bed, convalescing from a near-fatal stabbing, occasionally posting selfies and shaky videos in which he looked feeble and groggy. His near-disappearance from the political stage only increased his lead: polls suggest Mr. Bolsonaro will trounce opponents in the election on Sunday.\nHis success has defied the laws of political gravity. Until recently, Mr. Bolsonaro was a provocateur on the fringes of power who accomplished little as a seven-term lawmaker, but made headlines by calling for a military dictatorship and verbally attacking women, gays and people of color \u2014 in a country that is mostly nonwhite.\nUntil early August, he did not even have a running mate because traditional parties and politicians found him toxic.\nBut much like President Trump and populist leaders around the world, Mr. Bolsonaro has tapped into a deep well of resentment at the political establishment. He channeled Brazilians\u2019 anger over staggering levels of corruption and crime, presenting himself as the only candidate tough enough to solve them.\n\u201cBrazilians want a hero,\u201d said Daniel Machado, a professor of political marketing, referring to Mr. Bolsonaro\u2019s vow to take radical measures to fix Brazil.\nMillions of voters see his inflammatory positions \u2014 he has called women ignorant, told a female lawmaker she was too ugly to rape and questioned why women should earn the same salary as men \u2014 as straight talk from a man who is not afraid to say, and do, what is needed.\nWomen demonstrating against Mr. Bolsonaro in Rio de Janiero. The sign says, \u201cI am a woman and I will only vote in who respects me.\u201dCreditMaria Magdalena Arrellaga for The New York Times\nMr. Bolsonaro has promised to confront the violence that killed a record 62,517 people in 2016 by making guns easier to obtain and by giving the police greater authority to kill. One of the candidate\u2019s sons recently posted a photo simulating the torture of an opponent. Mr. Bolsonaro\u2019s running mate, a retired general, has said a military intervention may be the only way to purge the country of its corrupt political system.\n\u201cWe need to break that system together,\u201d Mr. Bolsonaro, 63, told followers earlier this week during one of his daily live videos on Facebook.\nA year ago, most power brokers in Brazil regarded Mr. Bolsonaro\u2019s presidential bid as fanciful, deeming him too incendiary to take the helm of the world\u2019s fourth largest democracy. Veteran political strategists and analysts thought his appeal would ebb as the campaign season officially kicked off in August.\nAfter all, Mr. Bolsonaro is also the most reviled contender in the field, with a 45 percent disapproval rate. But as Election Day approaches, centrist candidates with larger war chests and robust networks of support are seeing their political base drift toward Mr. Bolsonaro.\nHis popularity only grew after he was stabbed while being carried by supporters during a political rally in September. The assailant told police officers at the scene that he was carrying out \u201can order from God,\u201d which led investigators to question his mental health. But the attack played into Mr. Bolsonaro\u2019s message about the need to get tough on crime, analysts said.\nAnd now that he is the established front-runner, powerful political players \u2014 including Edir Macedo, an evangelical pastor and television magnate, the powerful agribusiness coalition in Congress and market-minded elites \u2014 have pledged their support.\nDetractors say they see authoritarian tendencies in Mr. Bolsonaro, a former Army captain who has vowed to appoint generals to several prominent posts and has spoken with admiration of the military dictatorship that governed Brazil from 1964 to 1985.\n\u201cIf we are to take seriously the things that Bolsonaro has said in the campaign, in my opinion Brazil\u2019s democracy is in grave peril,\u201d said Lilia Schwarcz, a prominent Brazilian author and historian who teaches at the University of S\u00e3o Paulo.\nBolsonaro supporters at a rally on the Copacabana beach that was scheduled to coincide with an anti-Bolsonaro demonstration in downtown Rio de Janiero.CreditMaria Magdalena Arrellaga for The New York Times\nBut many of his backers argue that he represents the only way to defeat the most powerful and corrupt presence on the Brazilian political scene in recent years \u2014 the leftist Workers\u2019 Party, which governed from 2003 to 2016.\nWhen the presidential race got underway, former President Luiz In\u00e1cio Lula da Silva, a charismatic former metal worker and founding member of the Workers\u2019 Party, was the front-runner by a wide margin. Many Brazilians, particularly the poor and the working class in this deeply unequal country, identify with Mr. da Silva personally and long for the prosperity they experienced during his tenure. He stepped down in 2011 with record-high approval ratings.\nSince then, the party\u2019s standing has slipped. Mr. da Silva\u2019s successor, Dilma Rousseff, oversaw the deepest recession in Brazil\u2019s history. She was impeached in 2016 for obscuring a budget deficit.\nAnd Mr. da Silva \u2014 like many of Brazil\u2019s most prominent politicians \u2014 became embroiled in the sprawling Lava Jato, or Carwash, investigation into corruption that took place during his time in office. After he was sentenced to 12 years in prison for corruption and money laundering, the courts ruled that he could not run for office.\nSo less than a month before Election Day, the Workers\u2019 Party officially nominated Fernando Haddad, a former education minister and mayor of S\u00e3o Paulo, betting that Mr. da Silva\u2019s base would transfer its allegiance to him. This was effective enough to push Mr. Haddad \u2014 a 55-year-old economist, lawyer and history professor with little national name recognition \u2014 into second place in the polls.\nThe matchup between Mr. Bolsonaro and Mr. Haddad has crystallized a bitter societal divide in Brazil that has widened in recent years amid the economic woes and public disgust at bribery schemes that tainted much of the political and business elite.\nWhile foes see a Bolsonaro presidency as potentially catastrophic for the country\u2019s young democracy, his supporters warn that returning the Workers\u2019 Party to power would put Brazil on the type of ruinous path that has engulfed neighboring Venezuela.\n\u201cI lived through the era of the dictatorship and not even then did I witness so much hate, so much division, so much aggression,\u201d said Clara Strauss, 79, during a recent demonstration against Mr. Bolsonaro. \u201cIt\u2019s not characteristic of Brazilians.\u201d\nProtesters gathering for a \u201cWomen United Against Bolsonaro\u201d march last month in Rio de Janeiro.CreditMaria Magdalena Arrellaga for The New York Times\nRoughly 77 percent of Brazilians regard their government as widely corrupt, according to a Gallup poll released in September. The poll, which surveyed 1000 people and has a margin of error of 3.6 percent, found that Brazilians are deeply skeptical of the integrity of electoral system, with only 14 percent saying they believe elections are honest.\nBrazilians are distrustful of more than just politicians. Like Mr. Trump, Mr. Bolsonaro has sowed skepticism and at times outright hostility toward the press. He has dismissed critical stories \u2014 including investigations into his real estate holdings and a messy divorce \u2014 as \u201cfake news.\u201d That approach has resonated with many Brazilians who see large news organizations as beholden to the elite.\nKarine Neder, 45, an interior designer from Belo Horizonte, the capital of Minas Gerais state, said she started leaning toward Mr. Bolsonaro as media coverage of him became increasingly negative in recent months. She became a fervent admirer as Mr. Bolsonaro vowed to take drastic measures to restore security, like tougher prison sentences.\n\u201cWe live in a country where you can\u2019t watch the national news at night without being afraid of going to work the next day,\u201d she said after attending a rally for the candidate in Rio de Janeiro.\nWhile rivals enjoyed considerably more free airtime on television \u2014 which is allocated according to a political party\u2019s size \u2014 and spent heavily on polished ads, Mr. Bolsonaro proved very adept at using Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube to reach voters.\n\u201cHe had the time and this new, unfettered space to occupy the collective imagination,\u201d Mr. Machado, the professor of political marketing, said.\nBolsonaro fans created hundreds of group chats on the messaging app WhatsApp, which has become a prodigious channel to spread misinformation during elections in Latin America.\nMr. Bolsonaro is considered a conservative for his hard-line approach to security, his staunch opposition to abortion rights and his disdain for the type of affirmative action initiatives the Workers\u2019 Party created to chip away at Brazil\u2019s steep inequality.\nPeople waiting for the start of a march in Copacabana in support of Mr. Bolsonaro in Rio de Janiero.CreditMaria Magdalena Arrellaga for The New York Times\nBut how he would manage the economy \u2014 the world\u2019s eighth largest \u2014 remains unclear.\nMr. Bolsonaro and his surrogates have offered few detailed policy prescriptions and have backed contradictory positions on central issues, such as whether large state enterprises should be privatized.\nThe policy blueprint on his campaign website is heavy on exclamation marks and short on details. \u201cOur strategy will be to adopt the same actions that work in countries that are booming, with jobs, low inflation, wages for workers and opportunity for all,\u201d his policy document proclaims.\nMr. Bolsonaro has reacted with exasperation when interviewers have pressed him for details on how he would handle the economy, which is only now emerging from the recession.\n\u201cI\u2019m an artillery captain,\u201d he barked during a recent televised interview on the Globo News network. \u201cWhy would I talk about the economy?\u201d\nMany experts see him as ill equipped to tackle complex challenges that will ultimately need to be addressed, including pension and tax reform.\n\u201cThe military, when they took power in \u201864, and established a dictatorship, had a plan,\u201d said Helo\u00edsa Starling, a historian at the Federal University of Minas Gerais. \u201cWe may have disagreed with it, but they had a plan. He doesn\u2019t have a plan for the country.\u201d\nBut that has not fazed investors. They appear to have faith that Paulo Guedes, a University of Chicago-educated economist whom Mr. Bolsonaro has said he would appoint as finance minister, would push market-friendly reforms and rein in the social spending that mushroomed under the Workers\u2019 Party. As Mr. Bolsonaro has surged in the polls, markets have rallied, with stocks and the real currency rebounding.\nAs a Bolsonaro victory has appeared increasingly likely, ardent opponents have rallied online and in the streets under the motto #EleN\u00e3o, or Not Him. But the demonstrations have not dented his support, which has left many of those who ardently oppose him feeling despondent.\n\u201cWe used to think that rights that have been conquered were rights that had been consolidated,\u201d said Ms. Schwarcz, the historian. \u201cI\u2019ve concluded that we were being foolish. We must continue fighting for them.\u201d\nA version of this article appears in print on , on Page A4 of the New York edition with the headline: Far-Right Candidate in Brazil Widens Lead in Race for President.

        "raw_content": "Business|As Markets Tumble, Tech Stocks Hit a Rare and Ominous Milestone\nBy Peter Eavis and Matt Phillips\nWhen it comes to the stock market, America\u2019s technology giants have become a harbinger of more pain to come.\nIf Facebook, Apple or Google looked shaky this year \u2014 as investors worried about growth, regulation or mismanagement \u2014 the rest of the market felt it. In recent weeks, as these companies have succumbed to concerns about the global economy, slowing profits or privacy concerns, they have led the decline in stocks.\nNow, technology companies are dragging stocks into an ominous territory that investors have not seen in nearly a decade: a severe decline known as a bear market.\nThe tech-heavy Nasdaq closed on Friday at 6332.99, down almost 22 percent from its August peak, meaning it has officially entered a bear market. The S&P 500 and Dow Jones industrial average, both of which also include the biggest tech companies, are not far behind after falling 17.5 percent and 16.3 percent from their respective highs. After a month of heavy losses, stocks are on track for their worst year since 2008.\nBear markets in stocks are rare but have the power to spread gloom through the economy. In the last 20 years, there have been only two \u2014 one that began with the financial crisis in 2007, and the other that started with the dot-com bust in 2000. Market downturns can gather steam even without strong evidence that economic and corporate fundamentals are weakening.\n\u201cIt\u2019s kind of a feedback loop,\u201d said Robert Shiller, a professor of economics at Yale University. \u201cWhat\u2019s happening right now, we\u2019ve seen some declines, and that emboldens some pundit to say, \u2018This is it.\u2019 They get attention, it puts thoughts in people\u2019s minds and they start thinking, \u2018Maybe I should exit.\u2019\u201d\nThe Nasdaq is not the only group of stocks in such distress. The Russell 2000 index, which tracks shares of smaller companies, entered a bear market earlier this week. Seven of the S&P 500\u2019s 11 industrial sectors are also at the level, led by energy stocks, which are down 28 percent from their highs earlier this year. That\u2019s in large part because oil has been in a bear market since November.\nIf the broader stock market declines by more than 20 percent this year, it would end what was, by some measures, the longest bull run in history. From March 2009 until its peak in September, the S&P 500 surged 333 percent, a rally that provided a silver lining to the lackluster years that followed the financial crisis of 2008. Investors enjoyed trillions of dollars of gains from the stock market.\nThose profits are not close to being wiped out. The stock market is still well above where it was even at the start of 2017. But the longer bear markets last, the more pessimism they spread.\nIf stock portfolios stagnate, consumers may cut their spending. And bear markets can reverberate through corporate America. The dot-com bust of the early 2000s contributed to a wider bear market and investors were wary of technology stocks for years. When stocks slump, chief executives slow investment in new projects and avoid decisions that investors might decide are too risky, which can dampen economic growth.\nCompanies thinking of issuing public stock for the first time may hold off. Lyft and Uber, ride-hailing companies, are considering initial public offerings. They may have to delay those deals if the market stays in a funk.\nThe mood in the markets can change. The most recent bear markets have not lasted as long as some others in the past. During the two previous bear markets, the Federal Reserve acted quickly to stimulate the economy by slashing interest rates. Investors came to believe that corporate profits would recover and dived back into stocks.\nThe current stock plunge is taking place at a time when the central bank is signaling that it will keep raising interest rates because the economy remains strong, with unemployment near 50-year lows. But on Friday, an influential Fed policymaker said the central bank would keep a close eye on financial markets as it set interest rates.\n\u201cWe\u2019re going to go into the new year with eyes wide open, willing to read the data, listen to what people are saying, and to reassess the economic outlook,\u201d John Williams, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, said in an interview with CNBC.\nThe sudden downturn in technology stocks has many of the attributes of the sell-offs that periodically smash hot sectors in the stock market. But it also signifies how investors have taken a dimmer view of corporate America and the broader economy.\nAs recently as this summer, they were still piling into superstar companies like Apple and Amazon, in the belief that they stood to make huge profits as they transformed the worlds in which they operated. In August, Apple\u2019s stock market value exceeded $1 trillion, a feat no other publicly traded American company had achieved. A month later, Amazon reached the same milestone.\nThey are far below those levels now. Apple is now worth around $715 billion. Amazon has lost nearly a third of its value since hitting its high, and Alphabet, Google\u2019s parent company, is down 23 percent.\nTrade tensions and a possible slowdown in the global economy are prompting investors to wonder whether technology companies will grow as fast as expected. Expectations that iPhone sales in China could slow eroded Apple\u2019s value, while Facebook\u2019s slip-ups over data privacy and misinformation have drawn scrutiny from angry governments and made investors nervous.\n\u201cYou can\u2019t grow at huge percentages forever,\u201d Scott Wren, senior global equity strategist at the Wells Fargo Investment Institute, said of the tech sell-off. \u201cPlus, I think that whether it\u2019s regulation, whether it\u2019s fear of the global slowdown, those kinds of things have played into it.\u201d\nAnd there is also the simple fact that they had risen so far so fast. When fear descends on the market, investors often sell the shares that have gone up the most, and at its August high, the Nasdaq was up more than 50 percent from the date on which President Trump was elected.\n\u201cToo many people had piled on the same side of the boat,\u201d said Lori Calvasina, head of United States equity strategy at RBC Capital Markets in New York. \u201cTypically when that happens, the boat tips over.\u201d\nA version of this article appears in print on , on Page A1 of the New York edition with the headline: As Markets Tumble, Tech Stocks Hit Rare and Ominous Milestone.

        "raw_content": "Creating A Public Bank in New Jersey: Will the Inside-Outside Game Work?\nMon, 5/21/2018 - by Matt Stannard\nThis is Part 6 in a 10-part series on public banking and economic justice. Read parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10.\nMost people in the public banking movement, and economic justice advocates as a whole, celebrated Phil Murphy's gubernatorial victory in New Jersey last November. I did too, but cautiously. I asked, and continue to ask, whether an ex-Goldman Sachs executive is the right proponent for a democratized banking system with the potential to bypass Wall Street, the worst possible proponent of such an idea, or somewhere in between.\nMy curiosity and caution is forged in experience. I've studied how the Nonpartisan League, a socialist farmers party, marched into power in North Dakota a century ago and occupied the government just long enough to establish a public bank that the now-conservative state wouldn't dream of dismantling.\nI've also watched momentum build over the last seven years since the Occupy movement revitalized the nationwide call for public banks. I've watched the movement stumble and struggle with its own homogeneity when trying to build alliances with urban activists in cities like Detroit. And I've watched us hit a wall, time and again, trying to sell public banks to mainstream politicians.\nThis has been, in almost every instance, because of the noise (read: opposition) generated by cities' and states' private financial sectors.\nNow, a banker from the Belly of the Beast has emerged to fight New Jersey's entrenched financial interests and implement what, if it succeeds, will be one of the most progressive state agendas in the country. Will Murphy and public banking advocates finally succeed in the Garden State?\npig-bank.jpg\nUnderstanding Bankthink and Phil Murphy\nIn a provocative 2014 article, Professor Richard Werner of the University of Southampton (UK) explored the tension in banking paradigms: between those who argue that banks essentially create money \"out of nothing\" through lending it, and those who insist that banks are merely \"financial intermediaries\" who broker other people's money but do not create new money. Werner concluded that the empirical evidence strongly suggests that banks can create money out of nothing, a view shared over the years by prominent bankers and finance experts including, about a hundred years ago, the editor-in-chief of The Economist.\nProponents of public banks strongly agree with Prof. Werner, and believe that the power to create money ought to be subject to public, democratically accountable governance. Werner's article suggests that opponents of that view (mainly supporters of private banking) are just being stubborn in the face of the evidence.\nAs a former finance executive who helped privatize industries in Europe and brokered financial deals between leaders, nations and their banks, Phil Murphy must be aware of the theoretical tension over whether banks create or do not create money. And he likely errs on the side that banks indeed have such a power \u2013 at least to a degree that would make it advantageous for New Jersey to follow North Dakota's state banking model.\nMurphy tells reporters, like the Washington Post's David Wiegel, that his beliefs play a strong role in the policies he supports. \"Somebody said to me at one point, \u2018Hey, how come you haven\u2019t moved to the middle since you won the primary?\u2019... I said, \u2018Let me tell you the secret: I believed what I said in the primary.'\"\nBelieving in the power of public banking puts the former champion of privatization in a very different world than he was before.\nWe should stick a pin in Murphy's pledge not to \"move to the middle,\" particularly as the struggle for a public bank in the state really heats up. At the beginning of this year's legislative session, state senators Nia Gill and Richard Codey introduced the State Bank of New Jersey Act. The bill was then referred to the Senate Commerce Committee.\nCurrently, \"the bill is on hold until the [state] budget is passed at the end of June,\" Joan Bartl, co-director of Banking On New Jersey, told me. \"We have been assured that Governor Murphy is fully committed to it.\"\nNJ-welcome-sign-776x437.jpg\nBuilding the Grassroots in New Jersey\nThe New Jersey public banking movement, in fact, is responsible for having planted the idea for a public bank in Murphy's head in the first place. Since then, economic justice leaders and economists in the state have latched on to the plan.\nRecently, Analilia Mejia of the New Jersey Working Families Alliance, and Dan Fatton of the New Jersey Work Environment Council, wrote a powerful editorial arguing that a public bank's \"sweeping investments\" in energy efficiency and public transportation would be a catalyst for the state's economy. They also pointed out that people of color trying to start businesses in New Jersey face discrimination in lending \u2013 something a public bank, accountable to the people, would presumably solve. And they mentioned that \"New Jersey paid more than $1 billion in fees and $3 billion in interest to Wall Street for debt services in 2016,\" another problem a public bank could mitigate.\nDeborah M. Figart, economics professor at Stockton University in Galloway, NJ, wrote that a public bank in the state could fund much-needed infrastructure improvements at near-zero interest rates. \"NJ is a rich state that is ostensibly broke,\u201d Banking on New Jersey's Bartl told me, \u201cand that irony is not lost on citizens who are eager to realize civic improvements ranging from infrastructure repairs and school investment to lower state taxes, which are now among the highest in the country.\u201d\nPeople in the public banking movement are pleased with Murphy's election, but they aren't taking anything for granted. They can't. Bartl says that around 60 organizations under the umbrella of Jersey Renews have endorsed public banking, including NJ Future, NJ Policy Perspective, Work Environment Council, Working Families, Blue Wave, the NAACP state chapter, and others.\nUnsurprisingly, the New Jersey Bankers Association is lobbying strongly against the proposal. But unlike the public banking movement in Los Angeles, which secured the city's divestment from Wells Fargo and hasn't invited bankers to the table, the New Jersey movement is trying to persuade at least the smaller banks that they ought to join the cause.\n\"They see us as competition,\" Bartl told me, even though Bartl and others have tried to explain to small and mid-sized banks \"why the State Bank would not compete with their interests and would actually help their civic and business prospects.\" Of course, it's complicated. On face, a public bank that takes on municipal deposits would deprive private banks of up to 20 percent of their deposit base. A public bank would be helpful to small and community banks in other ways, but the private sector would have to give up a little profitability and a lot of financial influence in the process.\nHistory shows that such power will probably not be willingly surrendered.\nWalt McRee, co-director of Banking on New Jersey, who served as chair of the Public Banking Institute for two years (including while I served on the board there), sees the New Jersey movement's strategy as both top-down and bottom-up, similar to the insider-outsider strategy cited by the Los Angeles public banking movement.\n\u201cIt\u2019s essential that we educate these leaders quickly before the rumor mill circulates distortions about the bank and its operations,\u201d McRee told me. \u201cIf you leave a vacuum of knowledge about key bank[ing] facts, it will quickly get filled with all sorts of propagandist debris that we\u2019ll have to deal with when the going gets more intense, which we expect it surely will.\u201d\nBartl told me some of that intensity is already showing, with an individual driving \"a fusillade of cynical comments\" against New Jersey's public banking proposal on social media sites. Nevertheless, Banking on New Jersey is going forward undaunted. \"We expect that a new level of governmental action will materialize during the summer,\" Bartl told me, \"but we won't be waiting for such developments to occur.\"\nBanking on New Jersey is \"educating key leaders and citizens and gathering citizen support through group alliances \u2013 a process that we feel cannot be abandoned until the State Bank of New Jersey is established,\" she added.\npb_town.jpg\nTwo decisive questions hang over the prospects of New Jersey creating a public bank. The first is whether grassroots pressure will push Murphy to maintain his resolve and spend the political capital necessary to get the public banking bill out of committee and onto the senate floor. On this front, the New Jersey movement seems to be doing what needs to be done, with public banking advocates assembling a united, trans-partisan, social justice-based body that's in favor of the bill.\nThe second question is more complicated: Is the New Jersey movement's effort to win over banking professionals helpful? Is it counterproductive? Or is it futile, even if not counterproductive?\nThis is a big, contentious and ultimately unsettled question, and not just in New Jersey. The public banking movement is divided on how to deal with the incessant sabotage of its advocacy by bankers and others in the financial sector. The predominant view is that we aren't being persuasive enough, and that we need to find better ways of convincing community bankers that a state-run bank will be helpful to them and not compete with them.\nThe dissenting view is that it's a waste of time to try to win bankers over. They know that even if a public bank will help support lending and regulatory compliance by community banks, the very existence of public financial utilities challenges the paradigm of private banking. This means even the success of community banks in North Dakota won't be enough to convince wannabee Wall Streeters that compromise with the public sector will ever really be advantageous to them.\nThe New Jersey public banking movement is committed to the first view. Since the private banking lobby in the state has already registered its fierce opposition, the coming battle for a public bank in the Garden State gives us the opportunity to both support a good fight, and learn a lot from what happens.\nREAD PARTS 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10\nMatt Stannard is Policy Director at Commonomics USA and a member of the Public Banking Institute\u2019s Board of Directors.

        "title": "Justine DUFOUR-LAPOINTE - Olympic Freestyle Skiing | Canada",
        "raw_content": "The youngest member of \u201c3SDL\u201d, as Canadian freestyle skiing sisters the Dufour-Lapointes are known, Justine achieved all her goals at Sochi 2014: taking part in an Olympic Winter Games with her older sisters, winning moguls gold, and sharing the podium with sister Chlo\u00e9. Four years later in PyeongChang she was on the podium again, taking silver behind France\u2019s Perrine Laffont.\nThe legend of 3SDL began long before their careers reached their peak. Maxime, the oldest, and Chlo\u00e9, the middle sister, used to coach their youngest sibling on the slopes of Canada\u2019s Mont Blanc in the Laurentians, not far from their home city of Montreal. Quebec is a traditional hotbed of free-style skiing, and like many Quebecois, the sisters\u2019 main passion was for the moguls.\nIn order to convince the eight-year-old Justine to follow them down the slopes, Maxime and Chlo\u00e9 used to bribe her with chocolate! Their efforts paid off. Described by her mother Johane as \u201cthe essence of joie de vivre\u201d, it was the youngest sibling who turned out to be the most gifted of the three.\nSensational debut\nUnder the watchful gaze of their mother who also acts as their manager, the three Dufour-Lapointe sisters have always been inseparable. Maxime made her freestyle World Cup debut in 2007, Chlo\u00e9 in 2008 and Justine in 2010, when she was aged just 16. Since then they have travelled and competed together across the globe.\nThings happened quickly for the youngest sister. In only her second World Cup competition, in M\u00e9ribel (FRA) on 20 December 2010, she made the podium in the dual moguls. In her third, a month later, she took her first victory, also in dual moguls, and became the youngest ever winner of a freestyle World Cup event. In that same year Justine watched Chlo\u00e9 compete at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver, a moment which inspired her to focus on making it to Sochi 2014.\nOlympic ambitions\nThe three Dufour-Lapointes set out to make history by all qualifying for the XXII Olympic Winter Games, and they duly achieved that goal in the 2013/14 winter season. By that stage it was Justine who was enjoying the greatest international success, racking up 24 World Cup podiums, seven victories in moguls and dual moguls and a bronze medal at the 2013 World Championships in Voss Myrkdalen (NOR). However, in the last international event before Sochi, in Val St-Come (CAN), it was Chlo\u00e9 who took the victory, relegating her younger sister to second place as they secured a first-ever family double.\nTriumph in Sochi\nAll three sisters took to the piste in the women\u2019s moguls at the Rosa Khutor Extreme Park on 8 February 2014, with their parents Yves and Johane watching from the stands. Though Maxime failed to make the cut for the final round, the family remained well represented, with Justine and Chlo\u00e9 featuring among the last six competitors.\nNineteen-year-old Justine rose to the occasion. Skiing quickly and fluidly, with knees glued together on the bumps and pulling off two huge, perfectly executed jumps, she conjured up a gold-medal winning performance. Chlo\u00e9 also skied a fine run to finish second. It meant that the two became the first female siblings to secure a gold-silver double at the Winter Games since France\u2019s Christine and Marielle Goitschel in the slalom at Innsbruck 1964.\n\u201cWhat happened to us today is completely crazy!\u201d exclaimed Justine afterwards. \u201cI gave everything despite the pressure. We have grown up together, we have gone to the Olympics and we have succeeded together. We\u2019ve made history!\u201d\nA 2015 world champion\nThe three sisters set up their own jewellery design company while continuing to pursue their sporting careers. Justine finished a runner-up in the World Cup moguls three seasons in a row between 2014 and 2016, bettered on the first two of those occasions by the USA\u2019s Hannah Kearney and then by Chlo\u00e9, before taking third place in the standings in 2017, by which time she had taken her total of career wins to 14 and top-three finishes to 43 in 84 starts.\nMeanwhile, the youngest of the Dufour-Lapointe sisters won the world moguls title in Kreischberg (AUT) in 2015, where she also picked up a silver in the dual moguls. A World Championship bronze came her way in the moguls in Sierra Nevada (ESP) in 2017, which proved to be a difficult year for 3SDL, with their mother being struck down by serious illness.\nJustine and Chlo\u00e9 went on to win a place on the Canada team for PyeongChang 2018, though Maxime missed out, having failed to make a full recovery from a hip operation. She nevertheless made the trip with her parents to the Republic of Korea to cheer her two siblings on.\nIn the first qualifying round of the moguls competition at the XXIII Olympic Winter Games, which took place on the same day as the Opening Ceremony, Justine secured her place in the final. Chlo\u00e9 managed to negotiate a second qualifying round two days later, only to then be eliminated from the competition in Final 1, which ended with Justine in first place.\nFlying the flag for her family, the defending Olympic champion finished fourth in Final 2 before nailing an excellent run in the six-rider Final 3. Reflecting on her performance immediately afterwards, she said: \u201cI really gave everything I could. I put my heart and soul into it, the passion of my sport and my hunger. It\u2019s the only thing that could fulfil me: my own personal satisfaction.\u201d\nShe was ultimately denied a second consecutive gold in the event by France\u2019s Perrine Laffont, who scored better in the turns and amassed 78.65 points to the Canadian\u2019s 78.56. \u201cI\u2019m proud of this medal, which maybe even means a little bit more to me than the gold in Sochi,\u201d said Justine, accentuating the positive. \u201cI think I\u2019ve worked even harder to make it here. I don\u2019t have any reason to be disappointed and what I\u2019m going to remember is that I climbed on to the podium with a smile on my lips.\u201d\nMoguls sisters ready to make Olympic history\nCanada\u2019s 3SDL making the most of the Olympic Athletes\u2019 Hub\nDouble joy for Dufour-Lapointe sisters in the moguls\nSisters aim for historic medal clean sweep\nJustine and Chloe Dufour-Lapointe won gold and silver in the moguls at Sochi 2014. Can Maxime join them on the podium at PyeongChang?\nCanada DUFOUR-LAPOINTE, Justine Moguls\nFreestyle Skiing - Ladies' Moguls\nJustine Dufour-lapointe of Canada wins the silver medal, Perrine Laffont of France wins the gold medal, Yulia Galysheva of Kazakhstan wins the bronze medal during the Freestyle Skiing Women's Moguls Finals on Day 2 of the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympic Games at Pheonix Snow Park on February 11, 2018 in Pyeongchang-gun, Republic of Korea.\nPyeongChang 2018 , Canada , France , Kazakhstan , Freestyle Skiing , Moguls , Women , DUFOUR-LAPOINTE, Justine\nSilver medalist Justine Dufour-Lapointe of Canada celebrates during the victory ceremony for the Freestyle Skiing Ladies' Moguls Final on Day 2 of the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympic Games at Pheonix Snow Park on February 11, 2018 in Pyeongchang-gun, Republic of Korea.\nPyeongChang 2018 , Canada , Freestyle Skiing , Moguls , Women , DUFOUR-LAPOINTE, Justine\nJustine Dufour-Lapointe of Canada competes during the Freestyle Skiing Ladies' Moguls Final on Day 2 of the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympic Games at Pheonix Snow Park on February 11, 2018 in Pyeongchang-gun, Republic of Korea.\nYulia GALYSHEVA",

        "raw_content": "Yes, pet gerbils have quite long tails that, depending on the species, can be covered with a thin layer of fur or be relatively hairless. The two gerbil species kept as pets, the Mongolian and the fat-tailed gerbil, lie on either end of this spectrum, with one species having a furred tail and the other a bald.\nMongolian gerbils have long, furry tails that make them a very appealing pet, particularly for owners that have a bit of a squeamish reaction to the bald tails of mice and rats. The less well-known fat-tailed gerbils possess relatively shorter, fatter tails that have very little hair on them, especially when compared to the rest of the animal\u2019s body.\nGerbil species that are kept as pets have long tails, whether these are bald or furry\nGerbils can use their tails in different ways to other species. For some species, one of it\u2019s uses is to warn family members of approaching peril. If a keen-eyed gerbil spots a predator, such as a large bird or a snake, it will move its tail up and down and beat it against the ground, sending out vibrations that send its family scrabbling and scurrying for cover. For other species, such as the fat-tailed gerbil, another purpose of the tail is as a fat-storage appendage. These animals have bald tails that are capable of drastically increasing in size in order to store fat for when times are scarce.",

        "raw_content": "When a big data breach makes the news, there\u2019s one thing that can get lost in the noise \u2014 the harm that hacking causes regular people like you.\nExperts tend to focus on the number of people whose records hackers stole, or whether the breached company could have prevented the hack. Those are important questions, but you can be forgiven for wondering what they have to do with you. What, really, is the worst that could happen to you personally?\nPlenty, according to consumer advocates. That\u2019s because data breaches make crimes such as identity theft and other scams much easier for criminals to carry out. That includes the blockbuster data breaches of 2018, like when sophisticated attackers breached millions of Facebook accounts in September, or when a hacker accessed information from 27 million Ticketfly accounts in May or when a database of information on 19.4 California voters held by the Sacramento Bee was stolen and held for ransom.\nAfter your data gets stolen, it often goes up for sale on black market websites, where criminals can buy it and then pretend to be you.\n\u201cWith the invention of the internet, we\u2019ve built this Amazon for fraudsters,\u201d said Eva Velasquez, president of the Identity Theft Resource Center.\nBut you don\u2019t see that part of the equation happen. Maybe you hear about a data breach, and then later you experience identity theft. What happened in between is anyone\u2019s guess.\nAnd this year showed there\u2019s end in sight for serious data breaches. We saw the theft of payment information from about 429,000 British Airways customers at two different points this year, the hack of credit card data belonging to an unknown number of NewEgg customers in September and hackers even stole old login information from Reddit in June. That\u2019s why advocates say it\u2019s important that victims of each hack keep in mind what could go wrong for them individually and develop a plan. You can\u2019t stop a major data breach, and you can only do a little to prevent criminals from stealing your identity.\nBut you can work out what to do if that happens and stop things from getting even worse.\nStart with the company that lost your data\nIt might sound odd, but your first layer of protection against identity theft and other crimes is actually the companies or organizations that lost your data to hackers to begin with. Organizations that suffer data breaches pay a high cost when hackers break in, and it\u2019s growing every year \u2014 each data breach cost companies $3.86 million on average in 2017, according to an annual data breach report sponsored by IBM.\nLots of that money goes to things like forensic investigations to learn how hackers were able to breach the systems and the legal fees to deal with lawsuits and regulators. Some of it also goes directly to helping you. Companies insulate their customers from harm by paying for credit-monitoring services and, in the case of credit card issuers, covering the cost of stolen funds for most customers.\n\u201cYou are your first line of defense.\u201dDarrell Laffoon, Chief Technology Officer at EZShield\nSo when a data breach or other hack happens, make sure you take advantage of any services offered by the breached company. For example, after someone gained unauthorized access to 2.65 million healthcare records at a company called Atrium in September, the company is offering free credit monitoring services for some patients whose Social Security numbers were exposed.\nIt may take some calls to customer service, but it\u2019s worth it to protect yourself from further harm and recoup any money you may have already lost.\nAfter a data breach, don\u2019t just accept a company\u2019s offer of credit monitoring services and leave it at that. You can also freeze your credit and set fraud alerts to keep you apprised of any fishy activity on your credit cards and bank accounts. Remember to keep up regular checks of your credit report, and follow up on anything that doesn\u2019t look right.\nLuckily for you, it\u2019s relatively easy to do these things in the age of the internet, said Kelvin Coleman, executive director of the National Cyber Security Alliance.\n\u201cSeveral years ago, it was much harder to do,\u201d he said. You had to send for your credit report in the mail, for example. \u201cNow it\u2019s just a click away.\u201d\nOf course, the same internet technology that lets you quickly check your bank statement online also makes it easier for cybercriminals to do their work. \u201cI say that knowing there\u2019s some irony there,\u201d Coleman said.\nYou should also avoid compromising yourself on social media. With lots of information about you already floating around on internet black markets, publicly sharing things that flesh out a broader picture of you only makes it easier for someone to steal your identity.\nThat can include things like sharing your dog\u2019s name, if your dog\u2019s name is also the answer to your bank\u2019s security question. (A better solution, of course, is to avoid security questions by using a different technique for verifying your identity, but not every online service offers this option yet.)\nTo limit the self-inflicted damage, change your privacy settings. Share your social media posts only among friends. Or, if you must have a public profile, consider being a little more circumspect. Remember that criminals could be among the people checking your timeline.\nIt\u2019s all about taking as much ownership of your data as possible, said Darrell Laffoon, chief technology officer of EZShield, a company that provides identity protection services, including monitoring dark web markets for an individual\u2019s personal information.\n\u201cYou are your first line of defense,\u201d Laffoon said.\nKnow the different kinds of identity theft\nIdentity theft doesn\u2019t just happen when someone opens up new credit cards in your name and goes to town.\nIt can also include medical identity theft, when someone else uses your insurance benefits. According to the US Federal Trade Commission, this can affect not just your future medical treatment by changing your medical record, but also your credit report if you never receive the bill for treatment someone else got under your name.\nSigns of medical identity theft are bills for treatment you never received or calls from collections agencies about those charges. The FTC recommends reading your explanation of benefits and keeping track of all the care noted in your medical record.\n\u201cWith the invention of the internet, we\u2019ve built this Amazon for fraudsters.\u201dEva Velasquez, president of the Identity Theft Resource Center\nCriminals may also try to steal your government benefits, like Social Security payments, veterans\u2019 benefits or tax refunds. You may receive alerts in the mail from government agencies when new accounts are opened in your name, or if your personal information gets changed. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to open and read any mail from these agencies.\nScammers use stolen personal information, too\nAnother way a data breach can harm you down the line is through scammers. The best defense against this is to keep your head.\nIn an effort to sound more legitimate, scammers can use true information about you to make their demand for money sound more credible.\nIn July, internet users started receiving threatening emails from criminals. We hacked your computer and captured embarrassing images of you, they told their intended victims. Now pay us in bitcoin or we\u2019ll send the pictures to your family and friends.\nTo show they were for real, they included the recipient\u2019s actual password in the email.\nExcept the scammers were tricking their victims, and they hadn\u2019t hacked them at all. More likely, they bought a big batch of stolen passwords from online black markets. That helped make the threat seem more credible to victims.\nIt can be hard, but when you receive a threatening email or phone call demanding money that seems convincing, the best response is to take a step back and reassess the situation. Short timelines \u2014 or threats to arrest you or send the police if you don\u2019t pay immediately \u2014 are signs that a scammer is using pressure tactics to get you to pay up before you realize something isn\u2019t right.\nBut if you find you\u2019ve fallen victim to a scam, don\u2019t be ashamed. Put your recovery plan into place. The first step is a little compassion for yourself.\n\u201cSmart people fall for scams,\u201d said Velasquez, from the Identity Theft Resource Center. \u201cThey are relentless, and it can happen to anyone.\u201d\nThe same can be said for any kind of identity theft.\nFor more information on how to avoid identity theft or respond when it happens to you, visit the FTC\u2019s resource page or the Identity Theft Resource Center.\nBreachescrooksDataFightPrepareTargeting\nDestiny 2 Black Armory Launch Trailer Confirms Last Word Return",

In fact, so far advanced was the pregnancy that the baby was already in position for delivery.\nNot having yet perfected his induction method of abortion, according to accounts, Tiller \u201cinjected the baby\u2019s head, in two places, the left side of her forehead above the eyebrow and at the base of the skull, with Potassium Chloride, leaving permanent burn marks and needle track scars.\u201d\nWhen the young mother returned the next day for the actual abortion procedure, it was found that the baby had not died, as intended, from the lethal injections into her head. The mother was sent to a local hospital where the baby was delivered, wrapped in a blanket, and left in a bassinet without attendance to die.\nAmazingly, after 24 hours, the child continued to live in spite of the fact that she had not been cleaned up, her umbilical cord was still attached and she had received no hydration or nourishment. A nurse took pity on the baby and contacted an attorney, who in turn contacted a loving family that adopted the little girl, whom they named Sarah.\nAlthough doctors said Sarah would not survive eight weeks, under the loving care of her new family she lived for five years. Tiller\u2019s attack on Sarah impaired her growth and left her brain damaged, blind, and unable to walk. Nevertheless, her family members never viewed her as a burden and were blessed to be a part of her short life.\nIt was noted at her memorial service that Tiller succeeded in killing little Sarah, but it took him five years to do it.44\nThis tragic story illustrates not only the depravity of a man who could kill innocent children in such a barbaric manner, but also stands as a testimony to the preciousness of each individual life.",

        "raw_content": "Maritime Concession Property - Costa Rica Ocean Front Real Estate and Property\nMaritime Concession Laws: Real Estate in Costa Rica is typically deeded and fee simple. However all property within 200 meters (about a tenth of a mile) from the high tide mark is owned by the government. The exception is a few places that were deeded as old Spanish land grants before the maritime concession laws were written. Under the maritime concession laws in Costa Rica, the first 50 metes above the beach are public land and considered to be the public zone. Land between 50 meters and 200 meters is considered to be in a restricted concession zone. This zone is admistered by the municipalities but is also overseen by the Instituto Costirricense de Turismo (ICT). On maritime concession property you can only own occupancy rights, you can not own the land outright. Maritime concession rights are from 5 to 20 years. Typically maritime concession zone agreements were issued by municipalities for the development of tourism infrastructure. Hotels, Marimas and other beach front establishments exist almost entirely under maritime concession agreements. Before purchasing any property within 200 meters of the beach, whether improved or raw land, be sure to check with the local municipality about whether the seller has the rights to use this land, how many years are left on the concession and whether the right is transferable. On rare occasions there is titled land in front of the beaches either through the Spanish land grants I mentioned earlier or through title application processes that occurred before the advent of these laws.\nTo apply for a concession you must already have occupancy rights to the beach front property, or buy the rights from another person who has them. The next step is to present the application along with the public deed to the Municipality having jurisdiction over the site. If the Municipality decides to give you the concession, it also has to be approved by ICT. Before buying any occupancy rights be sure to ask the seller where he bought the public deed and also ask the Municipality to certify the ownership of the occupancy rights and the person or company renting the land from the Municipality. These documents are not always available and though someone may appear to have the right, there is no record of it. After approval of the concession by ICT, the property must be registered in the National Concessions Registry. this registry is located in Zapote. at the National Registry. It is best to have the concession recorded here the information about title (ownership), location and property description are also located there.\nIn order to obtain a concession you must meet the following:\nHold the occupancy rights to a land parcel located in the Restricted Zone.\nHave markers (mojones) on the beachfront property designated & established by the Instituto Geogr\u00e1fico Nacional (IGN).\nHold a Zoning Plan (Plan Regulador) which specifies the land use for those areas of the beach front (i.e. commercial, residential, industrial) under the plan. Most beaches do not have Zoning Plans. A private firm can make Zoning Plans. Those companies are usually contracted by the public sector or government through the ICT. They can also be hired by parties in the private sector who are attempting to adjust their occupancy rights under the law and obtaining the concession. The best way to apply for a concession is for landowners of adjacent properties or interested investors to organize themselves and draft an overall, land usage Zoning Plan. Upon completion, the plan is submitted to the ICT for approval. The ICT also works with the Instituto Costarricense de Vivienda v Urbanismo (INVU) to coordinate maritime concession zones. It is the ICT's duty to enforce the law and their policy is not to permit the Municipalities to authorize construction on properties in the Restricted Zone without an approved Zoning Plan, however, most affected land currently has no Plan and in some cases ICT is now trying to remove properties constructed on maritime concession land that was done improperly. There have been instances where public officials within the municipality granted improper concessions to various parties that have since been disallowed.\nOCCUPANCY RIGHTS of maritime concession property have traditionally been transfered by a public deed of cession. These documents should include all pertinent details about the location, boundaries, measurement, use and reference to any previous transfer of the parcel under the maritime concession rules. The land is technically leased from the municipality and the standard lease rate, referred to a s a \"canon\" (rental fee) is based on the value of the property. There is also a land tax of .25% of the value of the property. Municipalities are prohibited from changing the general terms of the concession but since these municipalities benefit financially from these leases, irregularities have been common.\nMaritime Concession Zone ownership restrictions\nForeign residents must have a minimum of five years residency.\nCorporations with bearer shares (these can affect ownership).\nCorporations or entities that are domiciled outside of the country.\nForeign companies or Costa Rican companies when 50% or more of the stock is owned by foreigners.\nMaritime Concessions are granted for a minimum of five and a maximum of twenty years. It is necessary to file an application for the renewal of the concession before the end of the concession period. That is done It is important to file for renewal of any concession before the concession has expired. Renewals are filed with the local municipality.",

        "raw_content": "UK minister says Britain could join new EU model in future\nLONDON: Britain could take part in a new model of European cooperation after Brexit but is unlikely to rejoin the EU in its current form, a senior minister has said.\nCabinet Office minister David Lidington, who chairs several Brexit ministerial committees, said the suggestion by some EU leaders that Britain might change its mind about leaving the bloc was a \u201cred herring\u201d.\n\u201cHaving taken a decision by a referendum, I don\u2019t see that changing,\u201d he told the Daily Telegraph newspaper in an interview.\nHowever, he added: \u201cWe may be looking in a generation\u2019s time at an EU that is configured differently from what it is today. \u201cAnd the exact nature of the relationship between the United Kingdom and that future system \u2013 whatever it turns out to be \u2013 of European cooperation is something that future parliaments future generations will have to consider.\u201d\nLidington was appointed earlier this month to his post, which involves standing in for Prime Minister Theresa May in parliament and deputy chairing cabinet meetings.\nHe opposed Brexit in the 2016 EU referendum but said most Britons did not want to be part of the EU as it stands \u2013 and were unlikely to change their minds as the bloc moves towards greater economic and political integration.\nBut he added: \u201cThere\u2019s going to be a need for a system of cooperation within the continent of Europe including the UK that covers both economic and political cooperation.\u201d\nHe noted that Britain will remain part of the NATO military alliance, the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe, and the Council of Europe human rights watchdog.\n\u201cI can\u2019t predict sitting here today what that network of organisations and alliances including the EU, how that will change or is going to look in 10 years or 20 years\u2019 time,\u201d he said.\nEU President Donald Tusk said this week that the bloc\u2019s \u201chearts are open\u201d to Britain changing its mind. European Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker followed up by offering to back any British attempt to rejoin, even after it leaves.\nBritain began the two-year Brexit process last year, putting it on course to end its four-decade membership of the EU on March 29, 2019.",

At last year's CES the company showed the IdeaPad U1, a hybrid PC that included a detachable touchscreen that could be used as a tablet. The device was due to ship in the second half for under $1,000, but the product has been delayed.\nA Lenovo executive also told IDG News Service that the company could launch a ThinkPad tablet for businesses as an expansion to its business laptop offerings.\nTablet shipments are growing at an explosive rate, driven by Apple's iPad, and research firm Gartner has pegged tablet shipments to reach 54.8 million in 2011. Lenovo will join a crowded market that includes Samsung, Hewlett-Packard, Dell, Research in Motion and Toshiba.\nGartner in November also said that tablets could displace around 10 percent of PC units by 2014.\nLenovo's Reynolds said that the new tablets could have an impact on its netbook sales, but not sales for its mainstream laptops.\n\"Slates, netbooks are quite similar in terms of consumer usage habits and the consumption of media,\" Reynolds said. \"But we're very confident it's not going to affect our notebook sales.\"\nLenovo also announced new ThinkPad laptops including the X120e ultraportable laptop, which is powered by AMD's upcoming Fusion processor. The processor combines a CPU and graphics processor on a single chip.\nThe X120e has 65 percent faster graphics performance and 30 percent longer battery life compared to its predecessor, the ThinkPad X100e laptop, said Luis Hernandez, executive director of Thinkpad transactional business at Lenovo.\nThe Fusion processor \"gives users an enhanced experience because the CPU and GPU are on the same chip,\" Hernandez said.\nThe laptop has an 11-inch screen, and an HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) port to connect the laptop to displays like high-definition TV sets.\n\"It might look small, but it's a pure business class device,\" Hernandez said.\nThe X120e will be available in February in multiple configurations, with prices starting at under $400.\nThe company also announced new ThinkPad Edge laptops for small- and medium-sized businesses with Intel's next-generation Core processors, which are based on the new Sandy Bridge architecture.\nThe ThinkPad Edge E220s and E420s laptops are less an inch thin, and will come with screen sizes of 12.5 inches and 14.1 inches, respectively.\nSome E420s models include Lenovo's RapidDrive technology -- which combines hard drive and solid-state drive storage -- for laptops to boot up around 30 percent faster than the previous generation of Edge laptops, Hernandez said.\nThe laptops will have Wi-Fi, and optional 3G and 4G (Wimax) mobile broadband connectivity options. The laptops will be priced starting at US$749 and ship in some parts of the world starting in April.",

She met and married Etienne Szabo, a Captain in the French Foreign Legion in 1940. Shortly after the birth of her daughter, Tania, her husband died at El Alamein. She became a FANY (First Aid Nursing Yeomanry) and was recruited into the SOE and underwent secret agent training. Her first trip to France was completed successfully even though she was arrested and then released by the French Police.\nOn June 7th, 1944, Szabo was parachuted into Limoges. Her task was to co-ordinate the work of the French Resistance in the area in the first days after D-Day. She was captured by the SS 'Das Reich' Panzer Division and handed over to the Gestapo in Paris for interrogation. From Paris, Violette Szabo was sent to Ravensbruck concentration camp where she was executed in January 1945. She was only 23 and for her courage was posthumously awarded The George Cross and the Croix de Guerre.\nThis is one of the classic works of Second World War Biography, looking at the short Lives of Violette Szabo. The later sections, on Violette's time in SOE, I prefer to more modern books on the topic. This is a classic tale of bravery. Still highly recommended more than fifty years after it was first written.\nMore titles by R J Minney",

This was the first time that a government had defeated an indigenous insurgency by force of arms. It was as if the British army killed thousands of IRA cadres to end the war in Northern Ireland. The story of this war is fascinating in itself, besides the international repercussions for 'terrorism' and insurgency worldwide. Many countries involved themselves in the war \u2013 to arm the combatants (China, Pakistan, India, North Korea) or to bring peace (US, France, UK, Norway).\nWhile researching this work Professor Moorcraft was given unprecedented access to Sri Lankan politicians (including the President and his brother, the Defence Permanent Secretary), senior generals, intelligence chiefs, civil servants, UN officials, foreign diplomats and NGOs. He also interviewed the surviving leader of the Tamil Tigers.\nHis conclusions and findings will be controversial. He reveals how the media and foreign mediators were frustrated by the authorities determined to stamp out Tamil Tiger resistance by whatever means.

Many records, like the early twentieth-century census returns and school registers, will be familiar to researchers, but others are often overlooked by all but the most experienced of genealogists.\nAn easy-to-use, informative guide to the comprehensive collections available at the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland is a key feature of Ian Maxwell\u2019s handbook. He also takes the reader through the records held in many libraries, museums and heritage centres across the province, and he provides detailed coverage of records that are available online.\nUnlike the rest of the British Isles, which has very extensive civil and census records, Irish ancestral research is hampered by the destruction of many of the major collections. Yet Ian Maxwell shows how family historians can make good use of church records, school registers and land and valuation records to trace their roots to the beginning of the nineteenth century and beyond.\nA very good initial guide to the records for Northern Ireland for anyone starting out on their family history research.\nThis is a well written and informative guide to tracing Northern Irish ancestors. First published in 2010 this new edition, published last year, has been authored by someone who knows his stuff/ Ian Maxwell is a former record officer at the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland and thus is well-placed to advise.\nSo many 'how to...' type-books can simply reduce to the level of providing lists of records with series and piece numbers alongside, and where to find these. This books is different in that it also gives a good deal of historical content and thus engages the reader early on. Readable and recommended.\nVery concise book.\nGeorgia Draper\nInternet search engines are all very well. They are brilliant channels into all sorts of weird, wonderful and enlightening stuff, of course. But sometimes an actual reference book that you can hold in your hands is just the perfect companion.\nOne thing that worried me about a book like this was that it would be texty and stuffy and a bit self-important but not a bit of it. It is written well in a very accessible style that is both reassuring and immensely encouraging to both the amateur and professional historian.\nIt is clear to me that Ian Maxwell\u2019s book is essential reading if anyone out there is interested in tracing their Northern Irish ancestors.\nDropped the Moon\nThere are not many other such guides around, making this all the more welcome.\nMaxwell himself is well placed to be our guide - he was formerly on the staff at the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland, and has given many courses and lectures on Northern Irish genealogy.\nMaxwell also sets the historical context, exploring issues such as the Plantation of ulster and of course the partition of the 1920s.\nThis publication is not just a directory of sources, or a 'how to' guide, but also a very informative read.\nWho Do You Think You Are? Magazine June 2016\nAbout Ian Maxwell\nDr Ian Maxwell, a former record officer at the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland, is now a freelance writer and a leading expert on Irish genealogy. He conducts courses on genealogy throughout Northern Ireland and he is a regular speaker at genealogical conferences in Belfast and Dublin.

        "raw_content": "Dunphy was down, but never out over Temple's snub\nby By Marc Narducci, Inquirer Staff Writer, Posted: March 30, 2015\nTemple coach Fran Dunphy was gracious about the Owls not being picked for the NCAA tournament. (Charles Fox/Staff file photo)\nNEW YORK - He rarely shows much emotion in public, but on one day Temple basketball coach Fran Dunphy ever so slightly let his guard down.\nIt was the day after the NCAA selected the 68-team field and Temple was the 69th choice. After Temple had gone though a surprisingly peppy practice, as the team showed boundless energy less than 24 hours after the deflating decision, Dunphy spoke briefly about his current state of mind.\n\"This really hurts,\" he said in a low whisper.\nEven though he was clearly already in a mind-set toward steering his team in the NIT, Dunphy was down. He knew his team couldn't outwardly see him this way, so his only recourse was to prepare like crazy for Bucknell, the first-round opponent.\nThat Monday, March 16, seems so long ago. Three NIT wins later, Temple (26-10) will visit Madison Square Garden on Tuesday for a semifinal game against Miami (24-12).\n\"We're thrilled to be here,\" Dunphy said Monday at a news conference.\nAfter the initial disappointment, Dunphy, 66, did the only thing that 26 years as a head coach has taught him - prepare for the next game.\n\"I think moving forward is what we all do,\" Dunphy said when recalling how difficult it was to bounce back. \"We are in a high-and-low business and if you can't handle the highs and lows, it is probably not the right world you should be in.\"\nEven though Dunphy did his best to mask his feelings and portray a positive image, his team knew how much being snubbed by the NCAA had hurt its coach.\n\"He did the best he could, but he is a competitor as a coach and you could tell he had the same emotions we had,\" said point guard Will Cummings, who has averaged 22 points in the three NIT wins. \"Ultimately you have to shake it off.\"\nAnd leading the shaking was Dunphy.\n\"He was the first one to refocus,\" Cummings said. \"He talked to me and made sure the team would be ready and would look forward to playing in the NIT.\"\nAfter sort of a sluggish start, the Owls, behind a season-high 30 points from Cummings outlasted a gritty Bucknell team, 73-67. The Owls have gotten progressively better, defeating George Washington, 90-77, scoring a season-high point total, and then downing Louisiana Tech, 77-59.\nAll three games were at the Liacouras Center, a product of the Owls earning the top seed in their bracket. That surely helped, as did the attitude of their coach, who had never competed in the NIT but has been to the NCAA tournament 15 times, nine with Penn and six times in nine seasons at Temple.\nThe first thing Dunphy told his team after hearing the NCAA news was the same line he voiced to the media. \"I told them if this is the most disappointed they will be in their lifetime, they will have a great life,\" Dunphy said.\nIn the NIT, teams that are disappointed with failing to make the NCAA tournament have only two ways to go. Temple chose to make the most of the situation and followed the lead of its coach.\nDunphy never publicly blasted the NCAA. Immediately for Temple, it was back to business and Dunphy knew all eyes would be on how he handled the disappointment.\n\"I wish I could have gotten us into the NCAA tournament,\" he said. \"It didn't happen, but I told our team we had a great opportunity in front of us and let's take advantage of it.\"\nThe Owls obviously have, with no small part from their coach. In a season when he won his 500th career game, Dunphy's greatest achievement may be happening right now.\nNIT: Temple vs. Miami\nAll-time series: Temple leads, 2-1. The Owls won the most recent meeting, 73-56, on Nov. 27, 2005, at home.\nRoad to the semifinals: Miami beat N.C. Central, 75-71; Alabama, 73-66, and Richmond, 63-61; Temple beat Bucknell, 73-67; George Washington, 90-77, and Louisiana Tech, 77-59.\nAbout Miami: Angel Rodriguez, a transfer from Kansas State, who missed the last two games after reinjuring his wrist, isn't expected to play. \"He is not likely to even be in uniform,\" Larranaga said Monday. \"He hasn't practiced.\" . . . The Hurricanes rallied from a 36-18 deficit early in the second half to defeat host Richmond, 63-61, in their NIT quarterfinal win. . . . Ja'Quan Newton is a freshman from Neumann-Goretti. He had 11 points, five rebounds and two assists against Richmond. ... Manu Lecomte is averaging 13 points in the three NIT games, while Tonye Jerkiri is averaging 9.3 points and 9.3 rebounds. . . .

        "title": "Eagles start league year by re-signing Nigel Bradham, say goodbye to Patrick Robinson, Beau Allen",
        "raw_content": "Eagles start league year by re-signing Nigel Bradham, say goodbye to Patrick Robinson, Beau Allen\nby Zach Berman, Posted: March 14, 2018\nEagles cornerback Patrick Robinson runs with the football after a first-quarter interception with outside linebacker Nigel Bradham in the NFC Championship game on Sunday, January 21, 2018 in Philadelphia. Robinson scored on the play.\nThe Eagles made their most important signing of the offseason on Wednesday when they reached a deal to retain linebacker Nigel Bradham six hours before free agency opened.\nBradham, who was one of the best players on the Eagles' defense in 2017, remained a priority signing for the team this offseason. He agreed to a five-year contract worth up to $40 million, according to a league source.\nThe Eagles, however, could not re-sign slot cornerback Patrick Robinson, who agreed to a four-year deal worth $20 million with the New Orleans Saints, according to multiple reports. Defensive tackle Beau Allen also landed a deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.\nAfter the league year started at 4 p.m., the Eagles officially announced three transactions that already have been reported: the acquisition of defensive end Michael Bennett and a 2018 seventh-round pick from the Seattle Seahawks for wide receiver Marcus Johnson and a 2018 fifth-round pick; the trade of wide receiver Torrey Smith to the Carolina Panthers for cornerback Daryl Worley; and the signing of former Denver Broncos linebacker Corey Nelson to a one-year contract. The Eagles have not yet announced the expected addition of veteran defensive tackle Haloti Ngata.\nThere are more moves remaining in the coming days and weeks, but it was a major boon that the Eagles could navigate their tight salary-cap space to re-sign Bradham and prevent the linebacker position from becoming a hole. Bradham, 28, has been the Eagles' most durable linebacker since arriving as a free agent from Buffalo in 2016 and was a tone-setter for Jim Schwartz's defense. He played all but one game in the past two seasons and has 190 total tackles and three sacks. When Jordan Hicks was lost for the season in October, Bradham became the defensive signal-caller and took over Hicks' spot on passing downs. Schwartz called Bradham's defensive communication one of the \"unsung stories of this season.\"\n\"Nigel plays with tremendous energy and fire and has made a number of impact plays for us at the linebacker position,\" the Eagles said in a statement. \"Keeping him here was a priority of ours and we are looking forward to his future here in Philadelphia.\"\nEagles linebacker Nigel Bradham (left) celebrating a stop with defensive end Derek Barnett during the January playoff game against Atlanta.\nBradham's Eagles career started with turbulence when he was twice arrested in 2016, although one of the charges was pleaded down to a deferred prosecution program and another charge was dropped. The Eagles stood by Bradham, who has developed into one of the team's leaders and has since avoided off-field trouble.\nWith Bradham staying in Philadelphia, the Eagles return almost every starter from last season. However, Mychal Kendricks could be a trade candidate. The Eagles usually play with only two linebackers on the field, and if Hicks is healthy, the pair will likely be Bradham and Hicks. Kendricks, who requested a trade last offseason, has been honest about his desire for steady playing time. He will count $7.6 million against the salary cap, which would be a burdensome price for a part-time player. The addition of Nelson in free agency gives the Eagles another option for the third linebacker spot.\nThe reason the Eagles usually play with two linebackers is because of how often they're in the nickel defense, which is why Robinson's role was so important for the Eagles. Robinson signed a one-year deal with the Eagles last offseason as a potential placeholder and turned into a key player in the slot who came up with a game-changing interception return for a touchdown in the NFC championship game. His presence also allowed Schwartz to use safety Malcolm Jenkins differently than in the previous two seasons, when Jenkins needed to play the slot.\nThe Eagles are deeper at cornerback than they've been in recent years. Jalen Mills and Ronald Darby return as starters, with Sidney Jones expected to emerge as a key player and Rasul Douglas and Worley also promising options. All the cornerbacks are age 24 and under, giving the Eagles a desirable young core on the depth chart. They need to find one who can take over for Robinson in the slot. That might be Mills, who had experience in that role at LSU.\nOnce Ngata's deal becomes official, the Eagles will have their replacement for Allen as the third defensive tackle. The Eagles still need to address depth at tight end and wide receiver and they'll continue searching for special-teams upgrades. It's only the first day of free agency, and some of the Eagles' most notable moves last season occurred well after the initial wave subsided. But the most important move they could have made was retaining Bradham, and they accomplished it on Wednesday.\nZach Berman | @zberm | zberman@phillynews.com",

Liu, from Queen\u2019s University in Kingston, Canada, and colleagues conducted a population-based retrospective cohort study using Ontario\u2019s administrative health and vaccination databases from 2007 to 2013. The rate of a composite end point of autoimmune disorders diagnosed during days seven to 60 post-vaccination (\u201cexposed\u201d) was compared to that at any other time (\u201cunexposed\u201d). A total of 290,939 girls aged 12 to 17 years who were eligible for vaccination were included in the study cohort.\nThe researchers found that following HPV4 vaccination, there was no significant risk for developing an autoimmune disorder (rate ratio, 1.12, 95 percent confidence interval, 0.85 to 1.47), and the correlation was unchanged by a history of immune-mediated disorders and time since vaccination. No significant risks were seen in exploratory analyses of individual autoimmune disorders, including Bell\u2019s palsy, optic neuritis, and Graves\u2019 disease.\n\u201cWe did not observe an increased risk of autoimmune disorders following HPV4 vaccination among teenaged girls,\u201d the authors write. \u201cThese findings should reassure parents and health care providers.\u201d\nFeature Tagging of Home Videos Promising in Autism Diagnosis\nLumpectomy + Radiation May Cut Breast Cancer Mortality in DCIS\nAlteplase Good for Ischemic Stroke With Unknown Onset Time",

There have been a number of \u2018site meetings\u2019 and general promises of progress but nothing has really transpired. Following a number of representations from constituents living in the area to me over the last few months I wrote to the Department of Regional Development Minister Danny Kennedy asking for an update on the issue and in his response to me last week it states that \u2018consultants have finished an initial report and officials are giving consideration to this report\u2019. I believe what we now need is action on this issue, it cannot have taken over a year to generate a report.\nThere have been 18 road fatalities so far this year in Northern Ireland and 30% of these were pedestrians. Whilst these numbers may seem low behind every number is a grieving family and quite simply everything must be done to reduce these numbers to zero. I, and the residents who have contacted me, are very concerned that the sheer number of pedestrians [often the elderly and school boys] crossing these two extremely busy roads are slowly and inevitably stacking up the odds of a tragedy. I am calling for the Minister and his Department to expedite this findings of this report as soon as is practically possible.",

        "raw_content": "Letter to the editor: Call college proposal what it is \u2013 and that\u2019s not \u2018free\u2019\nAlan Caron, an independent candidate for governor, just aired an ad calling for two years of \u201cfree college.\u201d Other candidates espouse similar plans. However, when anyone is going to school, someone is paying.\nCall it what it is: taxpayer-subsidized education. Call it a scholarship or a grant \u2013 just don\u2019t call it \u201cfree.\u201d\nDirection U.S. is going in is cause for great dismay\nMaine should dive into seafood farming\nCongress won't stop Trump, so we all must protest and vote\nDemocrats should offer solutions, not complaints\nTo be fair to Caron, his website points out that his \u201cfree\u201d plan is in the form of a \u201cno-interest loan,\u201d portions of which will be forgiven for each year a graduate lives and works in Maine.\nI do not believe any postsecondary education should be subsidized. When an individual is responsible for education, that person makes choices based on the value of that investment.\nThat said, if a state or community wants to subsidize education to satisfy specific needs, so be it. That\u2019s why if education is subsidized, it makes sense to focus those resources on training engineers, scientists, teachers and medical professionals.\nNo matter how you benefit from education subsidies, your obligation is gratitude. Instead, we see a growing movement demanding \u201cfree\u201d education for a wide range of study tracks that offer no specific or immediate benefit to the community at large. Yet every member of that community is expected to pay for it.\nWe\u2019ll hear much more about \u201cfree\u201d college during this campaign. Just realize that every time you hear a candidate talk about \u201cfree\u201d education \u2013 it means you, rather than the student, is paying the tuition.",

We could be on the verge of a stock market crash in 2017. If you listen to the mainstream media, it will tell you nothing is wrong. It will convince you that the Dow Jones Industrial Average will reach the 20,000 level sooner rather than later, and that the S&P 500 will skyrocket from its current levels. Dear reader, be very careful. Before you subscribe to the noise, know that the fundamentals suggest that a major stock market crash could be ahead in 2017.\nCatalysts for Stock Market Crash In 2017\nThere are at least three things that investors should pay attention to going into 2017. First and foremost are corporate earnings. They are declining, and this fact should be taken very seriously. Understand that earnings and the direction of the stock market have a direct relationship. If earnings decline, a stock market crash follows. This has happened in all of the previous stock market crashes. Second, understand that the U.S. economy is in trouble, and the global economy remains fragile. Growth is stalling. Not too long ago, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) issued dire projections for the global economy. It revised its previous estimates lower and it says there are several downward pressures on the global level. As for the U.S. economy, it\u2019s performing well below its long-term average growth rate. The worst part is that even the Federal Reserve isn\u2019t so optimistic toward growth. It doesn\u2019t outright say so, but its projections are very clear. Lastly, when it comes to monetary policy, we see a huge disparity. Currently, the Federal Reserve is focused on increasing the interest rate, while the other major central banks are working to lower them. This disparity is dangerous. It could cause a substantial rise in the value of the U.S. dollar, which would negatively affect U.S. exports, and thus hurt the earnings of companies that have a global presence. This factor alone could lead to a severe stock market crash in 2017.\nWelcome to a Bear Market\nWith all this happening, one could ask; when will the stock market crash happen in 2017? Truth be told, I don\u2019t have a crystal ball, nor can I predict a top. However, from experience, I know that things could get ugly and the losses could run deep. But know that in the times of greatest uncertainty, you can find the best opportunities. The stock market crash in 2017 may turn out to be a great investment opportunity. My experience in bear markets is to take a deep breath and slowly look for opportunities in the selling chaos after a stock market crash. After seven-plus years of a Federal Reserve-induced bull market that was fueled by easy money, we are now seeing what happens when things begin to unwind and the stock market is required to fend for itself without easy money from the Fed.\nAn Easy Way to Protect Yourself\nAt this point, I\u2019m going to emphasize again the need for insurance against potentially huge downside moves. You should consider having some put options in place to help minimize the downside moves. The value amount of puts should roughly equate to the value of your portfolio, meaning a $100,000 portfolio should have $100,000 in protection. It is not cheap, but this strategy will pay off if the stock market crash worsens. If stocks hold and rally, you lose the premium, but so what? Think of puts on stocks as akin to insurance on your house, car, or other valuable assets. You would have insurance in place for these assets no matter what, so why not for your investment portfolio? It\u2019s the best way to survive the coming stock market crash.\nHow Safe Is Your Retirement from a Stock Market Crash In 2017?\nBy George Leong, B.Comm.

        "raw_content": "<< Rail News Home: Federal Legislation & Regulation\nPresident-elect Trump picks Chao to run USDOT\nPhoto \u2013 U.S. Department of Labor\nPresident-elect Donald Trump's selection of Elaine Chao as the next U.S. secretary of transportation drew praise today from several rail industry leaders and organizations.\nChao served as secretary of labor under President George W. Bush from 2001 through 2009. She also served as the deputy secretary of transportation under President George H.W. Bush from 1989 to 1991.\nHere is a selection of reactions to Chao's nomination to run the U.S. Department of Transportation:\n\u2022 Association of American Railroads President and Chief Executive Officer Ed Hamberger: \"The nation's rail industry welcomes the President-elect's selection and looks forward to working with Ms. Chao on the many critical surface transportation issues key to U.S. economic growth and prosperity. We know based on her prior tenure at the Department of Transportation that she has a full appreciation of the vital role freight and passenger rail play in America.\"\n\u2022 American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association President Linda Bauer Darr: \"Ms. Chao brings a depth of varied hands-on transportation policy experience to the table. Under her leadership, we look forward to working with the DOT on issues of importance to the railroad industry, such as limiting and reversing harmful over-reaching regulation, balanced investment in the national freight transportation network, a strong commitment to safe and efficient rail operations, and support for permanency of programs like the 45G railroad rehabilitation tax credit that combines two key priorities for President-elect Trump: infrastructure growth and common-sense tax reform.\"\n\u2022 American Public Transportation Association Acting President and CEO Richard White: \"As the former U.S. secretary of labor, Chao is well aware of the concerns of working people and economic competitiveness. ... We are pleased that Chao also has experience with transportation, serving first at the Maritime Administration under President Ronald Reagan and then later as the deputy secretary for the U.S. Department of Transportation under President George H.W. Bush.\"\n\u2022 Transportation Trades Department, AFL-CIO President Edward Wytkind: \"Secretary-designate Chao has an opportunity to play a large role in living up to the commitments made by President-elect Trump that he would rebuild the middle class through job-creation policies. Advancing massive federal investment in new transportation projects is one of the best policy strategies for improving our economy, boosting American competitiveness and putting millions to work.\"\n\u2022 American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials Executive Director Bud Wright: \"Former Labor Secretary Chao is a respected leader who, based on her previous service at the U.S. Department of Transportation and in other roles, has a strong understanding of the transportation challenges facing the nation. We look forward to working closely with the U.S. DOT to improve safety and mobility of the American people.\"\n\u2022 U.S. House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Bill Shuster (R-Pa.): \"From the start, it was my hope that President-elect Trump would select someone to run the Department of Transportation who has a background leading large organizations, knowledge of how Congress and the legislative process work, and the right mixture of public and private experience necessary to oversee a bold agenda to transform America's transportation and infrastructure systems for the 21st Century. Elaine Chao embodies these qualities.\u201d\nBrowse articles on Elaine Chao USDOT President-elect Donald Trump AAR ASLRRA APTA AASHTO Transportation Trades Department AFL-CIO",

Griffin truly believes that your house is a reflection of who you are, where you\u2019re from and where you\u2019re going, which is a shared sentiment of interior designers alike. Don't you just love that? It's how we feel , but she says it better than we do.\nBacked by a Bachelor of Art in Art History from Yale and postgraduate studies from New York School of Interior Design, Elaine Griffin is a very accomplished decorator with an amazing resume to follow her. Aside from being a current editor of Better Homes & Gardens and a former editor of special projects at Elle D\u00e9cor, Griffin has been honored as being one of House Beautiful\u2019s Top 100 American Designers. Much of Elaine\u2019s work has been featured in large publications such as Elle D\u00e9cor, Southern Accents and Oprah\u2019s O at Home, to name a few. She has also appeared in several television design segments for broadcasts such as The Today Show. Elaine's new book \"\n\" is currently available in stores.\nElaine Griffin\u2019s approach to designing the living space of her clients is to simply implement a refined version of the client\u2019s vision for the space, no matter what style the client prefers. Here\u2019s a look at the design styles of Elaine Griffin and some of her past work.\nWe weren't too familiar with the work of Elaine Griffin, but we must admit that her designs are quite good, especially the stunning bathroom shown above. Also love the black forest deer chandelier above the library table in the image before.\nWhat do you think? That 's the whole point of this new Thursday series.

        "title": "What's So Hard About Parenting Children With Mental Illness? | Psychology Today",
        "raw_content": "Elizabeth Mazur, Ph.D.\nDe-Stressing Disability\nWhat's So Hard About Parenting Children With Mental Illness?\nNew research tells us for which stressors parents need advice.\nChild mental illness impacts the entire family. Research has consistently found that parenting children with mental health disorders is psychologically distressing. With a former student, Camille Mickle, I recently published a research paper in the Journal of Child and Family Studies (Mazur & Mickle, 2017) on what mothers (mostly) and fathers discuss and question about parenting children with mental health disorders.\nWe studied 174 posts on four open Internet forums sponsored by organizations in the US that support parents of children ages 5-18 years diagnosed with ADHD, depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder (BD). We found that most stressors were shared among parents of children with different diagnoses, gender, and ages, with the exception of parent-child verbal and physical conflict. Parents of children with BD, with both ADHD and Oppositional Defiant Disorder, and both ADHD and BD posted more often about verbal and physical conflict than parents of children with only ADHD diagnoses. This result is consistent with an earlier study (Theule, Wiener, Tannock, & Jenkins, 2012) that found that co-occurring conduct problems in children with ADHD increased parenting stress as compared to ADHD alone. Children with BD commonly experience intense and dramatic, seemingly uncontrollable, rage.\nSo, what were the most frequently expressed concerns of parents? Almost 12% of parents complained about feeling helpless about their children\u2019s illness and symptoms, followed by a stated need for advice on how to cope. Parents often described how difficult it is to cope when children are mentally ill and their behaviors unpredictable; parents have little or no control over the symptoms or severity of the condition, although the expectation of both themselves and others is often that they should. Unfortunately, while most people realize that physical illnesses often are unremitting and erratic, few extend that understanding to parents of children with emotional disorders. Parents are often told that all their child needs is firm discipline, another common concern among the parents in our study.\nParents also expressed numerous concerns and questions about their children\u2019s medication, in particular, its effectiveness, side effects, and children\u2019s refusal to take it. This should come as no surprise considering that one of the most hotly debated topics in the U.S. centers on the use of medication in treating childhood psychiatric disorders. Also, in the frequent instances of children with more than one mental illness and overlapping symptoms, the condition that is diagnosed first is typically treated first, leading to the potential for serious harmful effects of stimulants and antidepressants in children and adolescents (Papolos, 2003).\nThe take-away for professionals working with patients and their families is that it is important to address the diagnostic heterogeneity that characterizes many children with mental illness. Also, practitioners must address not only the children\u2019s difficulties but also their families\u2019 challenges as well. Psychiatrists and pediatricians prescribing medication need to ensure that both parents and children understand the benefits and drawbacks of that treatment.\nThe take-away for parents of children with mental illness is that they may benefit from discussion groups that provide online support. Certainly, parents, are often psychologically, if not geographically, isolated from understanding peers. They are dealing with chronic emotionally distressing situations that, as our study shows, typically involve many different stressors. Current active Internet forums that parents of children with mental illness might find helpful are the \u201cAttitude forums\u201d (ADHD) at https://www.additudemag.com/forums/, WebMD message boards that include ones for ADHD and for mental health at https://messageboards.webmd.com/, and NAMI discussion groups for parents and caregivers, https://www.nami.org/Logon?returnurl=%2fFind-Support%2fDiscussion-Groups.\nSource: By An-d (Own work), via Wikimedia Commons\nMazur, E., & Mickle, C.

        "title": "Caffeine | Psychology Today",
        "raw_content": "Caffeine is the most commonly used drug in the world, found in coffee, tea, soda, energy drinks, over-the-counter cold medications, weight-loss aids, and chocolate. Although consumption of small to moderate doses of caffeine is thought to be safe, some users become dependent on caffeine and are unable to cut back despite problems caused by their caffeine intake. While not technically a diagnosable condition, caffeine-related disorder, or caffeine-use disorder, is listed in the DSM-5 as a condition that warrants further study because the stimulating effects and side effects of caffeine can mimic those of recreational drugs. Some people, particularly adolescents, are known to use and abuse caffeinated products such as energy drinks to achieve a \"high,\" and to combine caffeine and alcohol for a more potent effect. Caffeine-related disorders include caffeine intoxication and caffeine withdrawal.\nAlthough Americans commonly use caffeine, few experience problems socially and occupationally because of the habit. Nevertheless, the American Psychiatric Association recognizes caffeine intoxication as a diagnosable condition, along with caffeine-induced anxiety and sleep disorder, and caffeine withdrawal.\nMany foods contain caffeine, including coffee, tea, chocolate, and carbonated beverages. So do over-the-counter medicines\u2014pain relievers, appetite suppressants, and cold medicines. Caffeine functions as a central nervous system stimulant and also a diuretic. It is a myth that coffee will sober up an inebriated person; instead, it causes agitation. Daffeine should never be given to a frostbite or hypothermia victim. As a stimulant, caffeine can cause the heart to beat faster and hasten the effects of cold temperatures on the body.\nHow much caffeine is there in the foods and beverages we commonly associate with it?\nCoffee, brewed, 40 to 180 mg per cup\nCoffee, instant, 30 to 120 mg per cup\nCoffee, decaffeinated, 3 to 5 mg per cup\nTea, American brew, 20 to 90 mg per cup\nTea, imported brew, 25 to 110 mg per cup\nTea, instant, 28 mg per cup\nTea, canned iced, 22 to 36 mg per 12 ounces\nCola and other soft drinks with caffeine, 36 to 90 mg per 12 ounces\nCocoa, 4 mg per cup\nChocolate milk, 3 to 6 mg per ounce\nChocolate, bittersweet, 25 mg per ounce\nOnce ingested, caffeine is absorbed and distributed quickly. After absorption, it passes into the brain. Caffeine does not accumulate in the bloodstream nor is it stored in the body. It is excreted in the urine hours after it has been consumed.\nThe effects of caffeine on health have been widely studied\u2014in particular, its effects on fibrocystic breast disease, conditions of the heart and blood vessels, birth defects, reproductive function, and behavior in children. The American Medical Association Council on Scientific Affairs concludes, \"Moderate tea or coffee drinkers probably have no concern for their health relative to their caffeine consumption provided other lifestyle habits (diet, alcohol consumption) are moderate as well.\"\nLight to moderate caffeine consumption does not generally lead to worrisome symptoms and, in fact, may provide some health benefits, including reduced risk of heart disease and stroke, treatment of migraine headaches, increased alertness and mental acuity, fewer symptoms of depression, and even reduced risk of dementia. For some people, these benefits may outweigh any risks or negative side effects associated with caffeine use. Overuse, however, can lead to what is known as \"caffeine intoxication.\" Caffeine intoxication refers to recent consumption of an amount of caffeine that results in restlessness, nervousness, excitement, flushed facial skin, insomnia, increased urine production, gastrointestinal upset, irregular heartbeat, muscle twitching, jumpiness or shakiness, or any combination of these symptoms. Since caffeine affects different people in different ways, the definition of \"overuse\" can vary.\nAlthough some research suggests that regular use of caffeine is more of a habit than an addiction, the fact that overuse causes physical and psychological symptoms, and withdrawal symptoms develop when people stop drinking caffeinated beverages indicates the substance has addictive qualities. Symptoms of caffeine withdrawal can include headache, significant fatigue or drowsiness, depressed mood, difficulty concentrating, and even flu-like symptoms such as nausea and muscle pain. Withdrawal symptoms typically begin 12 to 24 hours after the last caffeine dose, peak after one to two days of abstinence, and may last up to nine days.\nThere is no dietary requirement for caffeine. Moderate caffeine intake, however, is not commonly thought to pose a health risk. About 250 to 300 milligrams of caffeine per day is considered a moderate amount. This is roughly equivalent to three cups of coffee. More than ten 8-ounce cups per day is excessive. Caffeine poisoning from excess amounts can occur.\nCaffeine is defined as a drug because it is a central nervous system stimulant. Regular use may cause a mild physical dependence but generally does not affect your physical health or social or financial well-being like other addictive substances. One study that looked at the association between caffeine and alcohol use in adolescents found, however, that young people who used caffeinated energy drinks were more likely to use alcohol in later years. This appeared to be due, in part, to lack of parental supervision and lack of early intervention.\nA child's caffeine consumption should be closely monitored. Caffeinated beverages may be replacing nutrient-dense foods such as milk, and their consumption may interfere with the absorption of certain nutrients such as calcium and iron. A child may also eat less after drinking caffeine because it acts as an appetite suppressant. Since there is no nutritional value in caffeine, it is generally recommended that children avoid it. For a hyperactive child, it's imperative to eliminate caffeine from the diet as it acts as a stimulant.\nPregnant women and people with coronary heart disease or peptic ulcers may be advised by their health care provider to restrict or avoid using caffeine.\nMany drugs interact with caffeine. Consult your health care provider or pharmacist about potential interactions whenever you take medications.\nSince caffeine-related disorder is not recognized as a diagnosable condition, there is no standardized treatment. It is on the list of substance-related disorders that require more investigation because progressive caffeine overuse that results in a dependency could lead to negative physical, psychological, and social consequences. In case of a caffeine overdose, call your local Poison Control to assess whether hospitalization is necessary.\nDiagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fourth edition, revised\nFederal Emergency Management Agency, \"Surviving the Storm\"\nCaffeine and Women's Health by International Food Information Council Foundation and Association of Women's Health; Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses.\nFind an Expert on Addiction\nWhat We Drink and How We Think\nCoffee Vs.

        "raw_content": "3 Ways That We Decide Who's a Good Person\nSeemingly minor details of a deed can influence your impression of the doer.\nBy Matt Huston, published November 2, 2017 - last reviewed on April 17, 2018\nWe are relentless critics of other people's moral character, but sizing up the heroes and villains we encounter on the street, in the news, and by way of our friends' gossip is a complicated task. Even seemingly minor details of a deed can influence your impression of the person who did it.\nAs you watch a young woman help a stranger carry groceries, the number of bags she handles might sway your opinion of her. In a series of studies, psychologists Yochanan Bigman and Maya Tamir at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem found that a person was judged more positively for an act, such as returning a lost wallet, if he exhibited more effort in the process. The same was true for misdeeds, like wallet-stealing: More effort, aimed at the same objective, led to more negative judgments. When someone clearly invests in doing something for (or to) others in one instance, Bigman says, we tend to \"take that as a signal of what's important for that person in life.\"\nPeople who willingly risk injury to help others, including firefighters and battlefield medics, are among the easiest to admire. But the mere appearance of sacrifice may be enough to trigger a positive response in us, which hints at the role emotion plays in moral judgment. Study participants rated a volunteer's moral character more highly if his volunteering came with an unexpected consequence for him, such as a bee sting. \"The link between our notion of sacrifice and moral character is so strong that we might rely on it even in cases where it should be irrelevant,\" says University of Pennsylvania researcher and study co-author Rebecca Schaumberg. The volunteer's mishap also increased the amount of sympathy participants had for him, suggesting that in certain cases, feeling bad for someone might lead us to think him a better person.\nIn the seconds after a stranger holds the elevator door for you (or cuts you off on the highway), thoughts about that person's character will inevitably swirl in your mind. How much you extrapolate from the act may depend on your sense that people are consistent, according to a paper in Social Psychological and Personality Science. Study participants learned about two men, who were either described as showing a mix of good and bad behaviors or cast distinctly as a good guy and a bad guy. Those character sketches framed how an unrelated person, Paul, was judged soon after. For example, when asked whether Paul, after doing something decent (such as returning extra change to a cashier), would do the right thing in a different situation, those who had read about the more complicated characters were less confident that he would. Our default expectation, though, seems to be that good follows good.\nFacebook image: El Nariz/Shutterstock",

        "raw_content": "Park and county collaboration improves fire response\nA motorcycle crash sparked a roughly three-acre fire on Limantour Road on Monday afternoon. The fire spread up a slope through coyote brush and trees while crews fought from land and air for about four hours before containing it. The motorcyclist was not seriously injured, and the blaze was small and moving slow enough that evacuations were not mandatory.\nA new cooperative agreement between the Marin County Fire Department and the National Park Service will allow the park to expand its fire engine fleet from one engine staffed four days a week to three engines staffed seven days a week.\nParticularly in the summer season, this increased coverage is crucial for public safety and quick response to blazes such as the brush fire near Limantour Beach on Monday. One of the new engines will likely go to the Bear Valley Visitor Center.\nThe five-year agreement, part of which the Marin County Board of Supervisors approved on Tuesday, applies to the Point Reyes National Seashore, Muir Woods National Monument and the northern reaches of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.\nPer the agreement, the park service will contribute $625,000 for fire preparedness to the county fire department, which will expand its personnel resources budget by $197,996 to increase engine staffing.\nMarin County is also contributing significant funds toward the partnership, whose second part\u2014concerning personnel\u2014will be reviewed and voted upon by the Board of Supervisors next Tuesday.\nThe agreement formalizes a relationship that the park service and county fire department have had for 40 years, John Dell\u2019Osso, spokesman for Point Reyes National Seashore, said. \u201cM.C.F.D. has always responded to any incidents in the park. [This agreement will improve efficiency] from the standpoint of protection of resources, life and property,\u201d he said\nIn addition to expanding the engines available to the park service, the collaboration will form a second module to work on fire prevention and fuel reduction in addition to firefighting. The partnership will also allow the park service and the county department to better coordinate around certain restrictions that apply to park land, such as using fire retardant and threatening endangered species.\n\u201cThis is a pretty unique situation and really showcases the partnership betweenfederal and local government,\u201d Jordan Reeser, a fire management officer with the park service, said.\nNational park units in Marin used to have several fire engines, an extra crew and a fire ecologist to contribute to local fire operations. At that time, the park and the county fire department had a mutual exchange in which the park could respond to some fires in the community and the county would assist with fires in the park.\nBut several years ago, the federal government began to reduce resources to public parks. Budgets were slashed nationally without the authorization to cut employees, Mr. Reeser said, so \u201cit\u2019s been up to the local units to come up with ways to make the programs work.\u201d\nThe new agreement, a result of discussions that began years ago, effectively allows the park service and the county to share resources and funds.\n\u201cIt\u2019s about how we could do it more efficiently together rather than both of us struggling to do it separately,\u201d county fire chief Jason Weber said. \u201cFire knows no boundaries and bureaucracy shouldn\u2019t either.\u201d\nThe shared resources will also be advantageous to Chief Weber\u2019s crews, which have struggled to fill their crews in recent years because of a decrease in the number of jail inmates.\n\u201cBecause of the early release program, we don\u2019t have the prison population that we counted on for many years for the fire crews,\u201d Mr. Weber explained.\nAs a result, county fire now has 30 percent fewer firefighters. At times of high fire activity, resources are \u201ccritically drawn down,\u201d Mr. Weber said.\nIn anticipation of the cooperative agreement, the county fire department began training four additional seasonal firefighters in June. This will reduce the dependence on the remaining inmate firefighters, who travel from Rio Vista, often in heavy afternoon traffic.\n\u201cStaffing fires locally will allow significant benefit to the park and communities surrounding the park,\u201d said Mr. Weber.",

        "raw_content": "This is a guest post from Cody Poinsett\nI remember just five years ago when I was the one graduating high school. It was a fun time, an exciting time, a scary time. But, more than anything, I remember the overwhelming feeling of being in control. Clearly, this was just a feeling that I had conjured up and ended up being nowhere close to the reality of what my life was about to become. Reality was the least of my concerns, though. All I was focused on was my ego and blind-confidence in myself and my strength.\nAs I\u2019m sure you can imagine, it didn\u2019t take long for that to all come crashing down around me. Within a year or so of graduating high school, moving to a new place, and starting this new period of life, it became abundantly clear that I was never really going to be in control of anything. Not only that, but I was also beginning to learn that there would be a great need for some sort of stability, something to cling to that would hold me steady throughout the more chaotic and unstable phases of life.\nIn I Corinthians 12:12-31, Paul provides an extremely powerful image of where that stability can come from. He clearly and thoughtfully teaches that the body of Christ is made up of many members that can together make a whole, with each member playing its part. When a specific member fails to effectively fill their role, then the whole family suffers. On the flip side, when each member does meet the needs of the family, then everyone grows stronger and more effective in their own role.\nIt took plenty of time for me to learn and accept that truth. In fact, I would say that it\u2019s something that I\u2019m still in the process of learning- what it means to truly be part of the body of Christ. But, while I still have a lot to learn, here\u2019s what I do know: being part a Christian family has allowed me to stumble, fall, and waver, but because there were others that were invested both in me and in the greater body of Christ, I was never allowed to be alone.\nPray for Justin and Chaney this summer as they transition into a new time of life.\nWhen has there been a transition in your life when you really saw the church step in and help you grow?\nLooking back over your life, where have you seen God work in these times of transitions?",

        "title": "Leif Segerstam - T\u00e9l\u00e9charger et \u00e9couter les albums.",
        "raw_content": "Leif Segerstam is primarily known as a conductor, generally ranked among the most prominent from Finland in the latter twentieth and early twenty first centuries. But he is also a composer with a massive output, making the cataloging of his music difficult. For instance, by summer 2002, he had written 81 symphonies, 18 of them having been composed or completed in that year alone. Yet that seemingly enormous body of music is not quite what it seems, since he typically writes the same piece in different scorings, using aleatoric methods involving less-complex and less-specific notation. Still, his output contains countless orchestral and choral works, concertos, songs, string quartets, and instrumental pieces. Segerstam entered the Sibelius Academy of Music in Helsinki in his mid-teens, where he studied violin with Liisa Siikonen and conducting with Jussi Jalas. Segerstam was also an excellent pianist then and won first prize in the 1962 Maj Lind Piano Competition, held by the Sibelius Academy. The following year, he graduated with degrees in both violin and conducting and gave his first major concert as a violinist. By then, he had already written his earliest compositions, which included the brief 1960 orchestral work A Legend (Nils-Eric Fougstedt in Memoriam) and Three Songs for soprano and piano (1960-1961). Following Segerstam's graduation, he enrolled at the Juilliard School of Music, where he studied violin with Louis Persinger, conducting with Jean Morel, and composition with Vincent Persichetti and Hall Overton. In 1965, he received his first important conducting appointment to the Finnish National Opera as director for the 1973-1974 season. Segerstam held two other conducting posts at opera houses in Scandinavia and Germany, at the Royal Opera in Stockholm from 1968 to 1972, and at the Deutsche Oper in Berlin for a single season (1972-1973). Segerstam turned out many compositions during these early conducting years, including several string quartets (the Fifth, subtitled \"Lemming,\" was a stylistically pivotal work in his use of aleatory methods) and the song collection Tre plus eller fyra NNNUUUU-R, for mezzo soprano and piano, on texts by Gunnar Bj\u00f6rling. Segerstam successively took three conducting posts with second-tier European orchestras in the period from 1977 to 1985 (the Austrian Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra, and the Rhineland-Pfalz State Philharmonic Orchestra). He was appointed chief conductor of the Danish National Radio Symphony Orchestra in 1989, a post that would allow him to record not only many classics in the repertory and modern works, but also some of his own. For the labels BIS, Ondine, and Finlandia, he turned out performances of his symphonies No. 9, No. 11, No. 13, No. 14, No. 16, No. 17, and No. 18, and violin concertos, Op. 33 and 99, with his wife Hannele Segerstam as soloist. Upon his departure from the DNRSO in 1995, he accepted the position of chief conductor for the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra and that same year, also returned to Stockholm's Royal Opera, once more as music director. Segerstam still held these two positions in the new century. At the Royal Opera House, Segerstam has conducted a wide range of works. In 2002, for example, he led performances of Wagner's Tristan und Isolde, Prokofiev's The Fiery Angel, and Jan\u00e1cek's The Makropulos Affair.\nExceptional sound (1)\nKim Borg (1)\nPoul Ruders (1)\nSibelius : Scaramouche, Op. 71 (Complete Ballet)\nBallets - Released November 6, 2015 | Naxos\nEinojuhani Rautavaara: Before the Icons - A Tapestry of Life\nSymphonic Music - Released April 27, 2010 | Ondine\nBooklet Distinctions Exceptional sound\nBefore the Icons stretches from one end of Rautavaara\u2019s career to the other. The great composer would have celebrated his ninetieth birthday in the Spring of 2018. During his studies in New York, he wrote a small series called Six Icons for Piano in 1955/56. While he decided to orchestrate them soon after, the work was not completed until half a century later in 2005. During the process he added three Prayers that intertwine with the other compositions. He closes this work with a short Amen which reconnects with the beginning of the 21st century; this contrasts with the deliberately \u201cnaive\u201d style of the Icons, which, at times, are rather evocative of Olivier Messiaen. It is one of Rautavaaraa\u2019s greatest works. Later on in 2007, A Tapestry of Life revealed four very contrasting movements:Stars Swarming, as we might expect, brings a night of shooting stars to life; Halcyon Days, a slight more mysterious piece, describes the evolution of the kingfisher whose genus is known as the \u201cHalcyon\u201d, Sighs and Tears perfectly illustrates Bergman\u2019s intimate dramas, with his sorrowful intertwining melodies between the oboe and the cor anglais, and finally The Last Polonaise reiterates the fact that Rautavaara often included stylish polonaises in his music.\nSymphonic Music - Released April 1, 1998 | BIS\nDistinctions The Unusual Suspects\nSibelius : Pelleas and Melisande Suite...\nSymphonic Music - Released August 7, 2015 | Naxos\nSibelius : Kuolema, JS 113 & King Christian II, Op. 27\nSymphonic Music - Released June 2, 2015 | Naxos\nSibelius : Belshazzar's Feast & Other Orchestral Pieces\nSymphonic Music - Released July 3, 2015 | Naxos\nSibelius : Jedermann, 2 Pieces & In memoriam\nTheatre Music - Released September 4, 2015 | Naxos\nMahler: Symphonies Nos. 7 & 9\nClassical - Released September 1, 2013 | Chandos\nMahler: Symphony Nos. 10 & 8\nSymphonies n\u00b0 4 & 5\nSymphonic Music - Released April 1, 1997 | Chandos\nRuders: Saaledes saae Johannes, Tundra, Gong & Symphony\nSymphonie n\u00b0 3 - Concerto in due tempi (Concerto pour piano)\nSymphonic Music - Released November 1, 1996 | Chandos\nSEGERSTAM: String Quartet No. 6 / Rituals in La\nClassical - Released January 31, 1996 | BIS\nBirgit Nilsson Live in Stockholm (1970, 1973)\nClassical - Released April 1, 2012 | Bluebell\nKuula, T.: Son of A Slave / Hope for Immortality / Wedding March / the Boat Song / the Song of the Sea / the Apple Trees\nClassical - Released January 1, 2008 | Alba\nSymphonie n\u00b0 1 - Fra Dybet\nSymphonic Music - Released February 1, 1994 | Chandos\n\u0152uvres pour Ch\u0153ur\nVocal Music (Secular and Sacred) - Released November 1, 1990 | Chandos",

        "title": "Be Wary of \"Fad\" Diagnoses",
        "raw_content": "Be Wary of \"Fad\" Diagnoses\nA small percentage of physicians and large percentages of chiropractors, naturopaths and bogus \"nutritionists\" are labeling patients with diagnoses not recognized by the scientific community. Some of these practitioners apply one or more of these diagnoses to almost every patient they see. The health-food industry profits from this process by selling books promoting these alleged conditions and supplement concoctions claimed to help them. Some \"fad\" diagnoses have been around for years, while others are recent creations.\nYears ago, many people who were tired or nervous were said to have \"adrenal insufficiency.\" The vast majority of these people were not only misdiagnosed but were also treated with adrenal gland extract, a substance that the FDA later banned because it was too weak to treat the actual disease. \"Low thyroid\" (hypothyroidism) was likewise unjustifiably diagnosed in many cases of fatigue and/or obesity. Today's \"fad\" diagnoses used to explain various common symptoms are chronic fatigue syndrome, chronic Lyme disease, hypoglycemia, food allergies, parasites, \"environmental illness,\" \"candidiasis hypersensitivity,\" \"Wilson's Syndrome,\" \"leaky gut syndrome,\" \"mercury amalgam toxicity,\" and pyroluria. Some products are or have been sold with claims based on cockeyed theories about \"oxygen deficiency\" and \"magnetic deficiency.\" The first five on this list are legitimate conditions that unscientific practitioners overdiagnose. The rest are figments of pseudoscientific imagination.\nOnly a small percentage of people troubled by fatigue have chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). According to criteria developed by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, CFS should never be diagnosed unless fatigue persists or recurs for at least six months and is severe enough to reduce the patient's activity level by more than half. In addition, the fatigue should be accompanied by several other symptoms, such as severe headaches, low-grade fever, joint or muscle pain, general muscle weakness, sleep disturbance, and various psychological symptoms. Consumer Reports has called CFS \"a magnet for quacks,\" and warned that \"some practitioners create CFS patients by finding the syndrome in people who clearly don't have it.\"\nReal cases of hypoglycemia exist, but they are rare and should be carefully checked by laboratory testing before the diagnosis is made. The diagnosis should be reserved for patients who get symptoms two to four hours after eating, develop blood glucose levels below 45 mg per 100 ml whenever symptoms occur, and are immediately relieved of symptoms when blood sugar is raised. The glucose tolerance test is not reliable for evaluating most cases of suspected hypoglycemia. Low blood sugar levels without symptoms have no diagnostic significance because they occur commonly in normal individuals fed large amounts of sugar. The only way to reliably diagnose hypoglycemia is to prove that blood sugar is low whenever symptoms occur during the patient's usual living pattern. The most practical way to do this is probably with a home testing device.\nDoctors who overdiagnose hypothyroidism often base their diagnosis on \"low\" temperature readings determined by placing the thermometer under the armpit. This is not a valid test of thyroid function. Proper diagnosis requires blood tests that measure thyroid hormone levels.\nSo-called \"Lyme literate\" doctors use an unreliable test to diagnose \"chronic Lyme disease,\" which they treat with long courses of antibiotics.\nAnother diagnosis that is popular among supplement promoters is \"parasites,\" which may be \"treated\" with laxatives and other \"intestinal cleansers,\" colonic irrigation, plant enzymes, dietary measures, and homeopathic remedies. In recent years, \"rope worms\" (long objects that result from accumulation of fiber and other materials in cleansing products) have been promoted as a new form of parasite.\nYet another, \"leaky gut syndrome,\" is described by proponents as a condition in which the intestinal lining becomes irritated and porous so that unwanted food particles, \"toxins,\" bacteria, parasites, and \"Candida\" enter the bloodstream and result in \"a weakened immune system, digestive disorders, and eventually chronic and autoimmune disease.\" Treatment of this alleged condition can include dietary changes (such as not eating protein and starch at the same meal); \"cleansing\" with herbal products; \"reestablishing good balance\" of intestinal bacteria; and supplement concoctions claimed to strengthen and repair the intestinal lining. Note: Some medical scientists use the term \"leaky gut\" for problems associated with abnormal intestinal permeabilty, but \"leaky gut syndrome\" is not one of them.\n\"Environmental illness\"also referred to as \"multiple chemical sensitivity\"is based on the notion that when the \"total load\" of physical and psychological stresses exceeds what a person can tolerate, the immune system goes haywire and hypersensitivity to tiny amounts of common foods and chemicals can trigger a wide range of symptoms. Doctors advocating this notion call themselves \"clinical ecologists\" or specialists in \"environmental medicine.\" Their treatment approach involves elimination of exposure to foods and environmental substances to which they consider the patient hypersensitive. Extreme restrictions can involve staying at home for months or living in a trailer designed to prevent exposure to airborne pollutants and synthetic substances. In many cases, the patient's life becomes centered around the treatment. The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (AAAAI), the nation's largest professional organization of allergists, has warned: \"Although the idea that the environment is responsible for a multitude of health problems is very appealing, to present such ideas as facts, conclusions, or even likely mechanisms without adequate support is poor medical practice.\" In 1997, the AAAAI reviewed the evidence again and concluded that \"a causal connection between environmental chemicals, foods, and/or drugs and the patient's symptoms is speculative and not based on the results of published scientific studies.\nClinical ecologists base their diagnoses primarily on the results of \"provocation\" and \"neutralization\" tests, which are performed by having the patient report symptoms that occur within ten minutes after suspected substances are administered under the tongue or injected into the skin. If any symptoms occur, the test is considered positive and lower concentrations are given until a dose is found that \"neutralizes\" the symptoms. Researchers at the University of California have demonstrated that these procedures are not valid. In a double-blind study, eighteen patients each received three injections of suspected food extracts and nine of normal saline over a three-hour period. The tests were conducted in the offices of clinical ecologists who had been treating them. In nonblinded tests, these patients had consistently reported symptoms when exposed to food extracts and no symptoms when given injections of saline (dilute salt water). But during the experiment, they reported as many symptoms following saline injections as they did after food-extract injections, indicating that their symptoms were nothing more than placebo reactions. \"Neutralizing\" doses were equally effective whether they were food extracts or saline.\n\"Candidiasis hypersensitivity\" is another bogus diagnosis whose symptoms are said to be multiple and include fatigue, depression, inability to concentrate, hyperactivity, headaches, skin problems (including hives), abdominal pain and bloating, constipation, diarrhea, respiratory symptoms, and problems of the urinary and reproductive organs. The main promoter of \"candidiasis hypersensitivity\" has been William G. Crook, M.D., of Jackson, Tennessee, who wrote and published The Yeast Connection. According to Crook, \"If a careful checkup doesn't reveal the cause for your symptoms, and your medical history [as described in his book] is typical, it's possible or even probable that your health problems are yeast-connected.\" To correct these alleged problems, he recommends allergenic extracts, antifungal drugs, vitamin and mineral supplements, and diets that avoid refined carbohydrates, processed foods, and (initially) fruits and milk.\nThe American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology regards the concept of candidiasis hypersensitivity as \"speculative and unproven\" and notes that everyone has some of its supposed symptoms from time to time. The academy has warned that some patients who take the inappropriately prescribed antifungal drugs will suffer side effects and that overuse of these drugs could lead to the development of resistant germs that endanger everyone.\n\"Hidden\" Allergies\nMany dubious practitioners claim that food allergies may be responsible for virtually any symptom a person can have. In support of this claim\u2014which is false\u2014they administer various tests purported to identify offending foods. The most notorious such test is cytotoxic testing. This test is performed by observing what happens to a patient's white blood cells when they are placed on microscope slides containing dried food extracts. The test results are then used to explain the patient's symptoms and to design a \"personalized diet program\" that includes vitamins and minerals\u2014sold by those administering the test. Controlled studies have never shown cytotoxic testing to be reliable, and some studies have found it to be highly unreliable.\nAnother test claimed to locate \"hidden allergies\" is the ELISA/ACT, developed by Russell Jaffe, M.D., Ph.D., and performed by Serammune Physicians Lab (SPL), of Reston, Virginia, which Jaffe directs. This test is performed by culturing the patient's lymphocytes and seeing how they react to up to 300 foods, minerals, preservatives, and other environmental substances. After the test is completed, the practitioner (typically a chiropractor) recommends dietary modification and supplements. Although the ELISA/ACT test can assess the levels of certain immune responses, these are not necessarily related to allergy and have nothing whatsoever to do with a person's need for supplements. Moreover, many of the symptoms listed in an SPL brochure are unrelated to allergy and are not appropriately treated with supplement products.\nThe correct way to assess a suspected food allergy or intolerance is to begin with a careful record of food intake and symptoms over a period of several weeks. If significant symptoms occur, the next step should be to see whether avoiding suspected foods for several weeks prevents possible allergy-related symptoms from recurring. If so, the suspected foods could be reintroduced one at a time to see whether symptoms can be reproduced. However, if the symptoms include hives, vomiting, swollen throat, wheezing, or other difficulty in breathing, continued self-testing could be dangerous, so an allergist should be consulted.\n\"Wilson's Syndrome\"\u2014also called \"Wilson's Temperature Syndrome\"\u2014entered the health marketplace in 1990, when E. Denis Wilson, M.D., of Longwood, Florida, coined its name. Its supposed manifestations include fatigue, headaches, PMS, hair loss, irritability, fluid retention, depression, decreased memory, low sex drive, unhealthy nails, easy weight gain, and about sixty other symptoms. However, Wilson claims that his \"syndrome\" can cause \"virtually every symptom known to man.\" He also claims that it is \"the most common of all chronic\" ailments and probably takes a greater toll on society than any other medical condition.\" Wilson claims to have discovered a type of abnormally low thyroid function in which routine blood tests of thyroid are often normal. He states that the condition is \"especially brought on by stress\" and can persist after the stress has passed. He claims that the main diagnostic sign is a body temperature that averages below 98.6\u00b0 F (oral), and that the diagnosis is confirmed if the patient responds to treatment with a \"special thyroid hormone treatment.\" (Note: Although \"Wilson's Syndrome\" is a bogus diagnosis, there is a Wilson's disease, a rare condition caused by a defect in the body's ability to metabolize copper.)\nIn 1991, a 50-year-old woman died after excessive amounts of thyroid hormone prescribed by Wilson had caused rapid heartbeat that led to a heart attack. According to Wilson, the patient's daughter filed a malpractice suit, which was settled out of court for $250,000. In 1992, the Florida Board of Medicine fined him $10,000, suspended his license for six months, and ordered him to undergo psychological testing. If his license is reinstated, he would also be required to take courses in endocrinology, the scientific method, and medical ethics. As far as I know, Wilson has not resumed practice. However, he still operates the Wilson's Syndrome Foundation, a \"900\" number \"support line\" for doctors and patients, and a toll-free number for information about his theories and publications. (An article on his Web site states that he thinks he can be more effective by educating the public. The more likely explanation is that if he resumed practice, the state medical board would permanently revoke his license.) In 1998, Richard A. Marschall, N.D., a naturopath licensed in the State of Washington, was disciplined for unprofessional conduct for diagnosing and treating between 75 and 100 patients for Wilson's Syndrome solely via telephone, mail, and/or through the Internet. Wilson claims that \"thousands of doctors\" have been using his methods, but in 2006, the referral directory on his Web site listed 95 worldwide, most of whom were medical doctors or naturopaths.\nImaginary Toxicities\nA small but vocal group of dentists, physicians, and various other \"holistic\" advocates claim that amalgam (\"silver\") fillings are toxic and cause a wide range of health problems including multiple sclerosis, arthritis, headaches, Parkinson's disease, and emotional stress. They recommend that amalgam fillings be replaced with either gold or plastic ones and that vitamin supplements be taken to prevent trouble during and after the process. Scientific testing has shown that the amount of mercury absorbed from fillings is only a tiny fraction of the average daily intake from food and is insignificant. The American Dental Association Council on Ethics, Bylaws and Judicial Affairs considers the unnecessary removal of silver amalgam fillings \"improper and unethical.\" In 1996, the leading antiamalgamist, Hal A. Huggins, D.D.S., of Colorado Springs, Colorado, had his licensed revoked. During the revocation proceedings the administrative law judge concluded: (a) Huggins had diagnosed \"mercury toxicity\" in all patients who consulted him in his office, even some without mercury fillings; (b) he had also recommended extraction of all teeth that had had root canal therapy; and (3) Huggins's treatments were \"a sham, illusory and without scientific basis.\nMost practitioners of chelation therapy tell patients that they are suffering toxic effects from mercuty, lead, or other heavy metals. To bolster this claim, specimens of the patient's urine, blood, and/ or hair to a lab that typically reports metal levels as problematic even though they are not. The most common such test is the provoked urine metal test in which a chelating agent is given to the patient to temporarily raise the urine output of the metals so that the reported levels look more abnormal.\nSome dentists maintain that facial pain, heart disease, arthritis, and various other health problems are caused by infected \"cavitations,\" within the jaw bones, that are not detectable on x-ray examination or treatable with antibiotics. Calling this condition \"cavitational osteopathosis\" or \"neuralgia-inducing cavitational osteonecrosis (NICO),\" advocates claim they can cure the patient by locating and scraping out the affected tissues. They may also remove all root-canal\u2013treated teeth and most of the vital teeth close to the area where they say an infection exists. There is no scientific evidence to support this assertion or the diagnostic and treatment methods based on it. Proponents of this dubious theory have formed the American Academy of Biological Dentistry.\nInsurance companies do not knowingly pay for most services associated with the problems described above. For this reason, many practitioners who make fad diagnoses engage in miscoding or \"creative\" coding in order to make it appear that they are using standard approaches to diagnosis and treatment.\nFormer National Council Against Health Fraud president Robert S. Baratz, DDS, MD, PhD, has made an astute observation:\nSome fad diagnoses seem almost to be interchangeable. Large numbers of people are scammed in the same way for different conditions, by a variety of practitioners and unlicensed personnel. It is as though there is a \"menu\" of quack treatments that they can choose for a variety of alleged conditions depending on the patient's susceptibility and pocketbook and the practitioner's guile, gall, and greed.\nWe believe that practitioners who exploit patients in this way should have their licenses revoked and that the inappropriate products and procedurea they use should be removed from the marketplace.\nIndex to Fad Diagnoses",

        "title": "Why the FDA Should Use More Criminal Prosecutions",
        "raw_content": "Why the FDA Should Use More Criminal Prosecutions\nDuring the early 1980s, illegally marketed health products flooded the marketplace. The FDA official in charge of enforcement actions was Joseph Paul Hile, who served as FDA Associate Commissioner of Regulatory Affairs from 1976 through 1986. Many observers regarded Hile as a tough, effective regulator, but he had very little interest in quackery-related cases. During his tenure as the agency's third-highest ranking official, the FDA did not initiate a single quackery-related criminal prosecution, and several FDA enforcement officials told me that he often blocked the issuance of warning letters.\nDuring Hile's reign at the FDA, I reported many violations, helped with several investigations, served as an occasional consultant, and was interviewed by many reporters who were concerned about FDA inaction. I also met and spoke with many FDA enforcement officials at consumer-protection conferences. I was also part of a team at Consumer Reports that tried to get the agency to become more aggressive. My activities were sufficiently prominent that in 1984, I received an FDA Commissioner's Special Citation Award for Public Service in fighting nutrition quackery. My activities sparked the interest of Paul Sage, an FDA consumer safety who saw me as a valuable ally in trying to deal with the problem of quack products.\nThe Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act defines \"drug\" as any article (except devices) \"intended for use in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease.\" These words permit the FDA to stop the marketing of products with unsubstantiated \"drug\" claims on their labels. If a product's labeling lacks required information or contains false or misleading information, the product is misbranded. Marketing a drug that is unapproved or misbranded is a criminal offense. A first offender may be imprisoned for up to one year. Any subsequent offense is a felony punishable by up to three years in prison. \"Labeling\" is not limited to what is on a product's container. It also includes claims made by any written or graphic matter that explains a product's use and is physically or contextually connected with its sale.\nSage believed there were so many illegal promotions that civil action on a case-by-case basis was impractical, but if criminal sanctions were used routinely, future violations of this kind would be deterred. He also believed that criminal cases would require less of the agency's resources than civil cases because they are simpler to carry out. In 1984, Sage he tried to loosen Hile's control by filing a petition\u2014as a private citizen\u2014asking the FDA to change its enforcement policy so that criminal prosecution became routine [1]. The FDA took more than four years to answer the petition [2] and did so only after I threated to sue if they continued to ignore it. Meanwhile, the FDA's Litigation and Recall Staff (the team that prepared cases for enforcement) was disbanded [3], Sage was reassigned elsewhere, and the agency's relative indifference to what Hile called \"economic frauds\" (products that were misrepresented but not cause direct physical harm) continued until he retired.\nIn 1985, Sage sent me a hand-written letter explaining why he believed that the FDA should focus on criminal prosecutions:\nI believe that using civil litigation will usually be wasteful. There are several reasons for this.\nFirst, if you consider returns per unit of resources invested, criminal cases are vastly more efficient. Consider a firm that markets 15 to 20 violative products, preferential use of criminal charges lets you focus on one or two products, the most egregiously violative and set the violations up for a second offense felony conviction on any subsequent violation. Trying to attack all violative products at once with civil seizures would mean the government would have to make it make its case against every product. This would be very burdensome and inefficient. FDA would soon choke on the load.\nThe second disadvantage would be would flow from the inherent differences between civil and criminal litigation. In civil cases, the defendant can use the Rules of Civil Procedure to place enormous burdens on the government. Depositions can be taken from dozens of prospective witnesses. We can be compelled to produce mountains of documents. Interrogatories can be used to ask almost endlessly complex questions in the guise of exploring for evidence. Your own lawyer will tell you that discovery in civil litigation is often exceedingly complex and burdensome. Remember, too, that as long as the costs of the products, their promotion, and the litigation do not exceed product sales, it pays the quack to litigate. There is no penalty as long as the bottom line shows a profit.\nIn criminal cases, on the other hand, there is a penalty. The actions are essentially punitive. Discovery is much more limited, far less burdensome. In fact, most of the burden is on the defendants. They must comply with grand jury subpoenas. They must produce witnesses. Proceedings of the grand jury are secret and not open to discovery. Ordinarily, depositions and interrogatories cannot be used.\nCivil litigation also invites negotiation that in itself is often disadvantageous. Judges often force settlements. Overt claims maybe trimmed back, but promoters often wind up with products that they can continue to market to exploit the reputation that they have established by their previous promotion. They do this with the blessing of the court and government. Quacks love this kind of negotiation. They never lose.\nIf FDA announced its intent to seize violative products in advance, the marketers could respond in two ways. They could file suits for declaratory judgments in jurisdictions of their choice. More important, they could initiate a political response to scuttle the action. Criminal cases do not lend themselves to the same kind of political influence because this would carry the risk of obstructing justice. Politicians shy away from this risk\nI think that the FDA's management would be happy to see you press for anything but more routine use criminal prosecution. If we could persuade the Commissioner to adopt the policy and the compliance program that would stimulate development of the kind of small, simple, non-political cases you developed with Consumers Union. I could manage well over a dozen such prosecutions a year and a well-managed fraud branch should be able to handle 50 to 60 such cases. I hope that you will not lead Joseph Hile or the Commissioner to think that agreeing two or three cases a year would be a satisfactory achievement. In today's environment, with so many easy cases to be made, it would be far from enough.\nConsider this too. I think FDA would like to be under pressure to bring a variety of different kinds of cases. That we give the agency an excuse the weigh the pros and cons of every possible regulatory alternative even more carefully and waste more time pondering than doing.\nFinally, remember that there aren't enough trucks around too haul off $10 million worth of quack remedies if we did have the resources to seize them. We should strive to keep attention focused on the people who commit the violations. Except in rare cases, it would not be practical to attempt to control this problem otherwise.\n\u2014 Paul Sage, September 5, 1985\nToday, FDA regulation of worthless products is more vigorous, with a mix of warning letters, seizures, and criminal prosecutions. But it is not enough to cope with the huge increase in illegal activity promoted through the Internet. Paul Sage was right that the only way to deter product-related crimes is to reduce the odds of profiting from them. Systematic criminal prosecution is necessary to do this. This is as true today as it was when Sage penned his insightful words.\nSage PJ. Citizen petition, July 9, 1984.\nTaylor JM. Response to citizen petition, Docket No. 84P-0242/CP.\nSage PJ.

Skinner\u2019s Verbal Behavior and Noam Chomsky\u2019s Syntactic Structures were published that year. These books, written by the respective pioneers of the behaviorist and linguistic approaches, placed the source of language development at opposing ends of the spectrum and have provided decades of academic debate. Since then, the number of language development theories has grown exponentially, all with differing ways of explaining language development.

(Enter Andy Rooney: \"Did ja ever notice how disc jockeys never seem to mention the latest book they've read? Why do you think that is? Is it because they never read books? Is it because they never read anything longer than a one-liner? And why do they call it a 'one-liner'? I've never seen one that was shorter than 3 lines. Why do you think that is?\" sfx: click)\nThe book is \"Get To The Point, How to Say What You Mean and Get What You Want\", by Karen Berg and Andrew Gilman. (Hardback $15.95 from Bantam Books, 666 5th Avenue, New York, N.Y. 10103) While the focus of this book is on making presentations to superiors, subordinates, the media, or the masses in business/public relations situations, the emphasis is on communication. \"In most situations, the most effective means of communication is human to human.\" And hey again, that's what radio is!\nChapter 4 is particularly good. It's entitled, \"Building Strong Messages: Selling Points and Word Power.\" It contains tips like: \"The strongest selling points are the ones that appeal to people's gee whiz or I didn't know that response--and/or hit them in one of three other vital areas: The heart, the tummy, or the pocketbook. The more vividly you do this, the more likely your listeners are to remember your messages.\" And: \"Another important tool that's often overlooked: Our listeners' imagination. If we can use our speaking to engage the audience's imagination, we can get our messages across powerfully. If people can visualize your point, they become active listeners. The key to powerful language is really quite simple. Don't tell, illustrate.\" And another: \"Creating good selling points doesn't require a consummate literary gift, but it does take thought, attention, and imagination.\" Yet another: \"Use simple, everyday language as much as possible. Use strong, active, and above all, positive words.\" And, under \"triplets\": \"There's something mystically powerful about grouping words in triplets. It's one of the oldest tricks in the book of rhetoric, and memorable examples abound, especially in oratory and advertising: Blood, sweat, and tears---Government of the people, by the people, and for the people---Round, firm, and fully packed---Snap, crackle, and pop. Learn to think in threes. It can add punch to your selling points and your key messages.\" (If it's so powerful, how come they didn't use triplets?)\nOnce again, the impetus of this book is making presentations in person, one-to-one, or to a group; but the accent is on communicating effectively. If your job calls for you to accompany the sales staff on calls and help present an advertising campaign or promotion, this will give you many ideas you can put to use immediately. Plus, it's full of one-liners.\nThat's all for now. I've got to get to the bookstore before it closes!",

That\u2019s the root of Trump\u2019s presidential election, and that\u2019s going to be the root of his re-election campaign.\u201d\nScarborough said the president had made plain his racist intentions.\n\u201cHe said it yesterday in a tweet \u2014 we need to keep people from Latin America out of here,\u201d Scarborough said. \u201cIt\u2019s about the brown people that Donald Trump thinks do not belong in America.\u201d\nHe said bigoted hate permeated all of Trump\u2019s policies.\n\u201cYou could look at all of his immigration policies, you can look at his campaign back in early December 2015, when he talked about the Muslim registry, when he talked about the Muslim ban,\u201d Scarborough said. \u201cWe said at the time, this sounds a lot like Germany in 1933. There\u2019s a reason, because in Germany in 1933 there were certain leaders that also focused on the other.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Inside Brazil's Black Lives Matter Movement\nWhere Police Kill 6 Times More People Than In the U.S.\nPolice in Brazil have killed nearly as many people in the past five years as U.S. police have killed during the past 30 years, according to statistics from the FBI and the Brazilian Public Safety Forum. On average, Brazilian law enforcement killed six people per day between 2009 and 2013, a study by the S\u00e3o Paulo-based research group found. And the victims of police violence in Brazil are overwhelmingly Black and poor.\nWhich is why, on Monday, more than 5,000 people took to the streets of Salvador da Bahia, the country's third-largest city and the heart of Afro-Brazilian culture, to protest the deaths of unarmed Black people at the hands of law officers. The movement, called Reaja ou Ser\u00e1 Morto \u2014 \"React or Die\" \u2014 shares many of the messages of the Black Lives Matter movement in the U.S.\nBut Naiara Leite, a human-rights attorney volunteering with Reaja ou Ser\u00e1 Morto, told Refinery29 the problem of police violence is far more critical in Brazil.\n\"The statistics give you a dimension of how grave it is, but even those numbers are underestimated, because they don't include the deaths that occur from death squads, which are often composed of members of the police force,\" Leite says.\nThe Reaja ou Ser\u00e1 Morto movement \u2014 also spelled Morta (for women) or Mortx (gender-neutral) \u2014 has existed in Salvador for 10 years, but taking to the streets to speak out about police violence is a new tactic.\n\"For a country that's very loud, Brazil is very silent on the subject of police violence,\" Jihan Hafiz, an independent journalist covering the march, told Refinery29. \"There is a general feeling in this city that the authorities are against Black people. Racism here is very strong. So when they have a march that is calling out the police for violence in Black neighborhoods, that's dangerous. You can die here for speaking out against the police. All it takes is one wrong move to have the police start shooting. They are a 'shoot first, ask questions later'-type force.\"\nLeite told Refinery29 that's a threat movement leaders know all too well.\n\"Reaja ou Ser\u00e1 Morto leaders are receiving death threats on social media and on their personal phones. The police have come to their houses and tried to enter their houses without a legal order,\" Leite says.\nStill, Reaja ou Ser\u00e1 Morto says the time has come to end the silence \u2014 and women are leading the charge. Read their stories on Refinery29.\nJihan Hafiz contributed reporting from Salvador da Bahia.\nBrazil Black Lives Matter Police Killings Protest",

        "title": "On the Road: Montblanc and Ari Vatanen - Revolution",
        "raw_content": "Montblanc, Reviews\nOn the Road: Montblanc and Ari Vatanen\nAs Montblanc announces its new partnership with the Goodwood Festival of Speed, Revolution discusses the new TimeWalker collection with a man who knows a thing or two about saving time. by - Tracey Llewellyn photography - Stephen Elvidge\nWhen Montblanc launched its last big collection \u2013 the revisited and revamped TimeWalker family \u2013 the brand decided to go to the very heart of rallying for an opinion. If the former World Rally Champion Ari Vatanen liked them, they knew that they would be on to a winner.\nThe legendary Finn\u2019s love of motor racing is perhaps surprising considering that in 1960, when he was just eight years old, while heading to the local church with his parents and siblings, the family car was involved in a collision in which his father died. But children have a way of coping with horror and, too young to fully understand what had happened, Vatanen vowed to tame the car, an aim he has battled to achieve ever since.\nAfter the death of his father, Vatanen\u2019s mother refused to have a family car for four years. But she relented, a decision that coincided with the first-time rally driving arrived in the family\u2019s neighbouring village of Tuupovaara. \u201cIt was mid-June 1964,\u201d Vatanen recalls. \u201cAs the rest of my family slept, I rode my bicycle to a viewing spot and sat on the bank for four hours in a beautiful \u2018nightless night\u2019. The light in Finland at 2am in June is incredible, it makes you dream. And then I heard the rally and saw the cars kicking up dust. It blew my mind away and just my body remained on the bank.\n\u201cFrom then, I would regularly get up at 2am and take the family car. I taught myself to drive when I was six, in an old Grey Fergie tractor. It felt like I was mastering something and all I wanted to do was drive. It was as though I was in a bubble away from the rest of the world. I didn\u2019t think about the future, I just wanted to throw the car sideways \u2013 always braking as late as possible, allowing no time for calculating anything. I would go flat out on a corner just to see what happened. A rally driver has to hate braking. When you are passionate no equation exists, others think you are crazy but you have to try and con yourself that you are rational.\u201d\nWith his particular attitude to life and racing, Vatanen was primed for becoming an integral part of the 1980s-rally series known as \u201cGroup B\u201d, which was later banned following a number of high profile fatal accidents. \u201cIt was unreasonable and too fast,\u201d says Vatanen. \u201cIt was a case of beauty and the beast, and sometimes the beast took over. It was reckless and frightening and that excites people. It is what anyone wants from life, regardless of background. We all tend to live in the middle of the road but we only genuinely remember the things in life that create emotion \u2013 that was Group B, and 30 years later people still talk about it.\u201d\nAll about speed, Group B rallying was a world apart from all other regulated motorsport. It was captivating for spectators who could hear the raw power and see the drivers struggling to contain it. When accidents happened \u2013 and they happened often \u2013 they were dramatic. \u201cIt was really too fast and fire-prone,\u201d says Vatanen. \u201cIt was getting out of hand. When Henri Pauli Toivonen crashed in Corsica in 1986, everything changed. His last recorded words that day were \u2018this car is faster than my brain\u2019. We thought we could handle it, but at that speed it is easy to make a mistake. We loved the risk but we weren\u2019t foolhardy and slowly we realised it was getting too much.\u201d\nIn 1985, Vatanen had an accident in Argentina that almost ended his career, as well as his life, yet even then it never occurred to him to step away from the sport that consumed his life. \u201cIt\u2019s not a desk job that you force yourself to do even if you don\u2019t want to \u2013 nobody would put their neck on the line if they didn\u2019t really want to do it. I was away from racing for a year and found myself in a tunnel of depression. Eventually, I woke up, I saw life in real colours again and the urge came back. As scared as she was, my wife Rita encouraged me to go back \u2013 she knows what is essential in life and she knew I had to do it. People ask if having a family changed how I viewed driving. That implies that before children I had an irresponsible attitude. My kids gave me a pride that I was responsible for them, but driving is second nature.\u201d\nInterestingly, but unsurprisingly given his insider knowledge, Vatanen\u2019s belief in instinctive driving is slightly shaken when we talk about his son, who has followed him in to rallying. He says that when Max is racing, he can\u2019t sleep. \u201cIt makes me realise what Rita had to go through,\u201d he says with a slight sadness.\nRally Timers\nRally driving is one motorsport where a reliable timekeeper is essential, as races are against the clock rather than it being a simple case of first past the finish line. Vatanen credits his sport for his love of timepieces, which began in the early-1990s when he was sponsored by French jewellery brand Fred. Fred first gained international acclaim in the 1930s for its collections designed by Jean Cocteau and later as the jeweller that provided the necklace for Julia Roberts to wear to the opera in Pretty Woman (1990). Vatanen was presented with one of the company\u2019s signature Force 10 watches with metal cable strap and later taken to the Basel Watch Fair as a guest of Fred. \u201cI then realised the incredible craftsmanship,\u201d he says. \u201cI am naturally interested in engineering and fascinated by everything from the tools used to the delivery of complications. My love for watches stems from then.\n\u201cI am touched by the pride of passing on knowledge. I was shown a pocket watch that had taken one man a year to make. It contained only the highest craftsmanship. I don\u2019t underestimate cheap watches but, at the same time, I love that people buy expensive pieces and pass them down. Watches tell a story, they are more than timekeepers, they are solid and mean something. It is a question of integrity \u2013 a search for beauty and something stable in life.\u201d\nA couple of decades after his introduction to watches, Vatanen found himself the guest of honour at the launch of the new Montblanc TimeWalker collection in Los Angeles. With a focus on legendary rally timers, Montblanc brought authenticity to the event with a talk by a new friend of the brand. \u201cI have been involved in many partnerships,\u201d he says. \u201cI bring something, the brand brings something. Sometimes I make mistakes with what I choose to do, but I am never mercenary. I do things that I want to do and for projects I believe in and that are credible.\u201d And credibility was something that was paramount for Davide Cerrato, head of Montblanc\u2019s Watch Department, who saw a need for a comprehensive story to unite all the watches within a collection, from the accessibly priced to the extremely high-end. With a starting point of Minerva \u2013 the brand acquired by Richemont in 2006 and now the centre of movement research and manufacture for Montblanc \u2013 and its archive of chronographs, stopwatches and timing instruments, Cerrato determined to reinvent the sporty TimeWalker collection using the mission statement \u201cInstruments of Glory\u201d.\nArguably, the star of the new-look family is the TimeWalker 1,000th of a Second Chronograph, a monopusher chronograph equipped with two oscillators \u2013 one for time and one just for the 1/1,000th of a second chronograph counter. The watch also has a 100th of a second counter. Highly legible, lapsed hours, minutes and seconds are read on a sub-dial at 6 o\u2019clock; the 100th of a second is read off the outer edge of the dial; while the 1,000th of a second is read via an arced aperture at 12 o\u2019clock.\nFirst introduced as a concept Villeret movement in 2012, the technology has been refined and semi-industrialised, allowing it to be used in a more commercial piece \u2013 albeit one with a limited production run.\nHoused in a 46mm DLC-coated titanium case with ceramic bezel, the watch is lightweight and comfortable. The red accents and trigger-style chrono pusher combine to give it a high-tech, high-performance feel.\nThe second TimeWalker showstopper is the limited-edition Chronograph Rally Timer Counter \u2013 a 50mm timepiece that has five guises. It can be worn as a wristwatch on a black leather strap, converts into a pocket watch by folding the lugs under the case and turning it 180 degrees, becomes a table clock via two arms below the case, and can be used as a handheld stopwatch or clipped to a metal plate that attaches to a car dashboard. An open caseback in the shape of a car grill gives a view of the manually wound monopusher chronograph calibre MB M16.29 with column wheel, horizontal coupling and a power reserve of 50 hours.\nOn a more accessible level are the core TimeWalker chronographs \u2013 both a simple chronograph and a dual time version \u2013 in 43mm cases with ceramic bezels. All of the watches in the collection, whether in bracelet or strap incarnation, come with a deployant clasp that can be micro-adjusted to three different positions, allowing a bit of fine-tuning for wrist size.\nIf Vatanen is typical of other watch lovers, then Cerrato has been successful in creating a story around TimeWalker. On the day, we meet at UK motorsport show Race Retro, he tells me: \u201cMy interest is not superficial, I believe in the product. Montblanc has become an incredible watchmaker, which is not easy when people know you as a pen manufacturer.\nThe TimeWalker is the collection Montblanc needed \u2013 a young sporty look. I love them. Watches can be worn for so many different occasions and you can change your whole look with one, but for me a timepiece has to be clear, easy-to-read and classic in aesthetic. I am very proud to be associated with Montblanc.\u201d As for what Vatanen\u2019s future holds, he just shrugs: \u201cWho knows? I just witness how life unfolds in front of me. Remember, I always brake late and I go sideways. I look at beetles, their wings are so small compared to their body weight that they shouldn\u2019t be able to fly. But the beetle doesn\u2019t know this and so he flies. This is me \u2013 and, in a way, I think it was Montblanc when they started to make watches. So, all in all, it\u2019s a very good thing that some beetles simply refuse to believe they can\u2019t fly.\u201d\nMontblanc is the Official Timing Partner of the Goodwood Festival of Speed which takes place 29 June \u2013 2 July 2017.\nMontblanc\u2019s Star Legacy Nicolas Rieussec Chronograph\nInspired by the legendary Minerva manufacture and its pocket watches, Montblanc\u2019s Star Legacy Nicolas Rieussec Chronograph reinterprets the style of the Gilded Age for the contemporary gentleman.

Ralph's music is no different; it's catchy but cool, sexy but smart, edgy but evocative. With an emphasis on lyrics and storytelling, pulling from her personal life experiences, Ralph's songs are special because they are honest and relatable.\nWith little more than talent and a vision, she has built an incredible following in the USA, Canada and Europe. In just over a year she has picked up over 14 millions streams on Spotify, rightly gaining her a place on Spotify's 'Ones To Watch' list and her own billboard in Toronto's Dundas Square. With features on Noisey, Fashion Magazine, Fader, Nylon, Wonderland, Billboard, she has secured her spot not only as a musical talent but a style purveyor to boot. As if this wasn\u2019t enough, Ralph\u2019s consistency and inspiration through photography and video leaves little to be desired. The videos for 'Cold To the Touch', 'Tease' and 'September Fades' move past the classic \u201cmusic video\u201d into short films, if not just for their unique style but for their ambition, confidence and tone. With her debut full length album on the way, audiences are excited to see what Ralph has up her sleeves for the next year.",

We are one of the accredited national providers, found on the National Association for Special Education Needs website (NASEN).\nWe provide ongoing support with extensive electronic resources on and off-site and a university tutor and school based mentor assigned to each student.\nYou will be working with a group of your peers and have the opportunity, should you wish, to use the credits gained on this course, towards an MA.\nThe course meets the learning outcomes agreed nationally by the DFE and the SENCO Award providers' group for the NASENCO qualification. The course content is informed by current SEN and disability legislation and underpinned by current theory and research led practice pertaining to Special and Inclusive Education.\nSpecial Educational Needs Coordinators (SENCOs) play a vital role in leading the coordination of provision for children and young people with SEN and/or disabilities in schools. In September 2009 it became law for every new SENCO in a mainstream school to gain the Masters-level National Award for Special Educational Needs Co-ordination within 3 years of taking up the post.\nNote: The accreditation of prior learning is not permitted as part of the assessment for this programme.\nIt will consist of 9 taught days and one further day at the university for tutorials, study and research. It provides professional development for new to post SENCOs to enhance the quality of teaching for children and young people with SEN and/or a disability and to improve provision and outcomes for them. Course teaching days always take place on Wednesdays at Roehampton.\nSENCOs play a vital role in leading the co-ordination of provision for children and young people with SEN and/or disabilities in schools. In September 2009 it became law for every new SENCO in a mainstream school to gain the Masters-level National Award for Special Educational Needs Co-ordination within 3 years of taking up the post.\nFollowing new legislation around Special Educational Needs included within the Children and Families Bill 2014, the outcomes for the National SENCO Award have changed for the cohort 2014/15. This is to ensure the Award continues to reflect the role of the SENCO, within the changing national and local context of Special Educational Needs.\nThe National College for Teaching and Leadership has provided provisional learning outcomes for the NASENCO Award next year, focused on three areas:\nA. Professional Knowledge and Understanding.\nB. Leading and Coordinating Provision\nC. Personal and Professional Qualities\nEach participant on the programme will be allocated a tutor within the University who will have experience in tutoring and supporting participants from a range of university programmes, including those who are studying whilst working full time. Additionally, the SENCO host school will provide a school-based mentor to oversee and support the school based element of the training, and to mark the portfolio. The school-based mentor will also play a key role in supporting and advising the new to post SENCO.\nThe assessment is in two parts, each of which must be passed and each of which is equivalent to 5000 words.\nPart 1: A Portfolio of Evidence\nThe portfolio must comprise evidence to demonstrate meeting the SENCO training standards. The evidence should be drawn from practice-based experience and from learning through the programme. Reflective commentary on evidence provided must be included.

        "raw_content": "RADAR TRACKING REVEALS THE \u2018LIFE STORIES\u2019 OF BUMBLE BEES\nScientists have tracked the flight paths of bumble bees throughout their entire lives to find out how they explore their environment and search for food\nScientists have tracked the flight paths of a group of bumble bees throughout their entire lives in what is thought to be the first lifetime tracking study of any animal in such detail. The new study used a radar to show how individual bees explore their environment and search for food. The findings showed that individual bumble bees differ greatly in the way they fly around the landscape when foraging for nectar and pollen. The work was performed by scientists from Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) and Rothamsted Research, which receives strategic funding from BBSRC. The scientists published their findings today in the journal PLOS ONE.\nTo follow the bees, the scientists used the harmonic radar at Rothamsted Research. The device uses a tiny transponder attached to the bee to detect a radar signal. At just 16 millimetres, the light-weight transponders are not thought to affect bees\u2019 flight behaviour. In total, 244 flights made by four bees were recorded, encompassing more than 15,000 minutes and covering a total distance of more than 180km.\nThe researchers identified two categories of flight \u2013 exploration and exploitation flights. Exploration of the landscape typically occurs in the first few flights made by each bee and this is when bees discover most of the places they will return to for feeding during their lives, although further exploration flights are sometimes made. Meanwhile, exploitation of memorised food sources takes place during efficient trips, usually to a single foraging location. This is rarely combined with the exploration of unfamiliar areas.\nDr Joseph Woodgate, of QMUL and Rothamsted Research, said: \u201cThis study provided an unprecedented look at where the bees flew, how their behaviour changed as they gained experience and how they balanced the need to explore their surroundings - looking for good patches of flowers - with the desire to collect as much food as possible from the places they had already discovered.\u201d\nDr James Makinson, who is joint-first-author with Dr Woodgate, added: \u201cOne bee was something of a lifelong vagabond, never settling down on a single patch of flowers. In contrast another of our bees was exceptionally diligent, quickly switching after only three flights from exploration of the surrounding environment to focusing exclusively on a single forage location for six consecutive days.\n\"After six days this bee switched her attention to a closer forage source. She was able to do this without re-exploring her environment, suggesting she had remembered the location from her initial explorations. Our other two bees interspersed foraging for a single location with exploratory flights throughout their entire life.\u201d\nProfessor Lars Chittka, coordinator of the study at QMUL, said: \"For the first time, we have been able to record the complete 'life story' of a bee. From the first time she saw the light of day, entirely na\u00efve to the world around her, to being a seasoned veteran forager in an environment full of sweet nectar rewards and dangerous threats, to her likely death at the hands of predators, or getting lost because she has ventured too far from her native nest.\u201d\nBees provide an invaluable service to both natural and agricultural ecosystems by pollinating flowers. Understanding how they use the space available to them, and how and when they find food, will provide valuable insights into how to manage landscapes to benefit plants, insects and crops. The study could also help to explain the way the genes of bee-pollinated plants spread throughout the landscape and shed light on the way parasites and diseases are spread between patches of plants.\nWoodgat, JL, Makinsin, JC, Lim, KS, Reynolds, AM, Chittka, L., 2016, Life-long Radar Tracking of Bumblebees, Plos One, 0160333\nSenior Electronics and Radar Engineer\nAbout Queen Mary University of London\nQueen Mary University of London (QMUL) is one of the UK\u2019s leading universities, and one of the largest institutions in the University of London, with 20,260 students from more than 150 countries.

The firm dedicated the 164,700-sq.-ft. facility in Sri City on July 16. It signed a 99-year lease on the 783,600-sq.-ft. plot of land in June 2012.\nSRI CITY, India\u2014West Pharmaceutical Services Inc. has completed construction of its first products manufacturing facility in India, with plans to expand production at the plant already in the works.\nA dedication ceremony was held July 16 for the new structure in Sri City, which will expand the company's growing injectable medicines' packaging business, a spokeswoman said.\n\u201cWith more and more pharmaceutical customers establishing operations in India, our new plant will help West meet market demand and further establishes the company's presence in this growing and dynamic market,\u201d said Donald E. Morel Jr., the firm's chairman and CEO.\nWest's new facility, which it began constructing in August 2012, spans about 164,700 square feet and sits on a site that covers approximately 783,600 square feet. The firm signed a 99-year lease on the parcel of land in June 2012.\nWest selected Sri City because it offers the advantages of a metropolitan area, land that fit the company's needs, available utilities, suitable labor force, logistics and quality of life, the Exton, Pa.-headquartered firm said.\nIt plans to employ more than 45 at the plant by the end of the year, according to Don McMillan, vice president of operations for the Pharmaceutical Packaging System unit. That figure could grow in the next few years, he said.\n\u201cThe plant is highly automated,\u201d he said, \u201cand jobs at the facility are primarily full-time positions in management, manufacturing, operations and sales.\u201d\nIt makes elastomeric seals used primarily in packaging of injectable medicines manufactured by the company's pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical customers in India and the Asia-Pacific region.\nWest previously made packaging products for the Indian market at its production facilities in Singapore and Qingpu, China, McMillan said. The company also sourced products for the region from other plants across the firm's global network, he said.\n\u201cAs our business has grown, there was a need to build this new facility to meet customer demand,\u201d he said. \u201cWith the creation of the Sri City facility, we can reduce lead times for supply and optimize manufacture workflow to more quickly meet the needs and market demand for our customers in India.\u201d\nMcMillan said even with the addition of the new plant, there are no plans at this time to cut back production at other sites.\n\u201cThere are plans to expand production at the site to include West's elastomer component business,\u201d he said. \u201cBut we haven't yet provided the details about when that would be and what specific products it would manufacture.\u201d\nHe said the investment in the plant is important to the company's strategy of partnering with customers in India and the Asia-Pacific region \u201cto help them provide medicines to patients more efficiently, reliably and safely.\u201d\nWest anticipates eventually to reduce lead times for supply of products in India and the greater Asia-Pacific region, according to McMillan. By leveraging its global sourcing activities and process engineering expertise, he said, it expects to manage the overall cost of production carefully.\nLuck of the Irish: West building new plant abroad\nWest Pharma to invest $125 million in new Irish plant\nTHEN AND NOW: Endless demand drives medical market",

        "raw_content": "Food Packaging Regulations in Australia and New Zealand\nAustralia and New Zealand regulate food contact substances through a single bi-national agency \u2013 Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) \u2013 under the joint Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code (the Code). The Code, first published in 2000 and revised March 1, 2016,[1] contains four chapters: 1) Introduction and standards that apply to all foods; 2) Food standards; 3) Food safety standards; and 4) Primary production standards. Chapters 3 and 4 apply only in Australia.\nAlthough FSANZ develops and updates the Code, it is enforced in Australia by state and territory authorities; in New Zealand, by the Ministry for Primary Industries and public health units. For imported food, Australia\u2019s Department of Agriculture and Water Resources enforces the Code\u2019s provisions. Given the potential for checkered implementation, consistency in the Code\u2019s enforcement is ensured by the Implementation Subcommittee for Food Regulation (ISFR).[2]\nAs discussed below, FSANZ has initiated a review of its food packaging oversight to determine whether the existing regulatory framework for managing risk from the migration of chemicals from packaging to food is adequate. This effort remains ongoing.\nFood Contact Substances under the Code\nThe degree of regulation of food contact substances in Australia and New Zealand is tied to the intended function of the substance that contacts food. The Code distinguishes between \u201cfood additive,\u201d \u201cprocessing aid,\u201d and \u201cpackage\u201d:\nFood additives are defined as substances added to food to perform one or more technological functions in the finished food. (See Standard 1.1.2-11.)\nProcessing aids include substances used to perform a technical purpose during food processing, but not in the finished food. (See Standard 1.1.2-13.)\nA package is \u201cany container or wrapper in or by which food for sale is wholly or partly encased, covered, enclosed, contained or packaged,\u201d including primary and secondary packaging. The definition of \u201cpackage\u201d excludes bulk cargo containers, pallet overwrap, crates and packages that do not obscure food labels, transportation vehicles, hampers (e.g., decorative basket or box), containers and wrappers for food served in prisons, hospitals, and medical institutions, and food containers that serve a medical purpose that are used in institutional settings. (See Standard 1.1.2.)\nFood additives, which are not further discussed herein, are subject to more stringent controls and must be approved prior to use. As discussed in further detail below, under the Code, processing aids also must be the subject of premarket clearance for their intended use in food. For packages, however, the Code is general in nature, and does not specify permitted materials that may be used in packaging food. Rather, under the Code, food manufacturers and retailers must ensure that their (packaged) products are safe, and that they comply with all \u201crelevant\u201d legislation.\nPrevious: Which Common Plastic is Best for Foodservice Drinkware: Tritan vs. SAN vs. PC\nNext: Plastic Packaging is one of the Solutions to Reducing Food Waste\nTypes of Plastics Buckets\nPlastic Buckets Tubs Containers With Lids Food Grade CLEAR 1000ML\n2017 Best Sale Logo Printed Promotional Water Bottle with Ice Bar\n10Litre Silk Screen Printing White Plastic Square Water Pail with Metal Handle and White Lid",

        "title": "European Court of Human Rights Establishes Registered Partnership as the Minimum Standard | Council of Europe",
        "raw_content": "European Court of Human Rights Establishes Registered Partnership as the Minimum Standard | Council of Europe\nThe European Court of Human Rights today, in a case litigated by ECSOL-member Alexander Schuster, found that Italy violated Article 8 ECHR by not introducing any form of legal recognition of same-gender couples. Whereas equal marriage, forthe time being, remains a decision for the Member States, recognition of same-gender unions, at least in the form of a registered partnership, is a human right.\nThe leading case Oliari et al v. Italy is the first ever against Italy in the field of LGBTI rights. The couple was represented by ECSOL-member Dr. Alexander Schuster. The action started as part of the strategic campaign still coordinated by the Associazione radicale Certi diritti. Oliari is the leading of several joined cases and was lodged well ahead of the others on 21 March 2011.\nDr Schuster instituted proceedings on behalf of Ms Oliari and his partner before the courts of Trento (north of Italy) and the Court of Appeal referred the matter on the constitutionality of opposite-sex only marriage to the Constitutional Court in 2009. In its decision no 138/2010 (English translation) Oliari and others were told that Parliament could freely decide whether or not to open up marriage, but that Parliament had a constitutional obligation to introduce a form of legal recognition of their union. Five years later, there is still no civil union law. Italy is now found in violation of the Convention.\nAlexander Schuster\u2019s statement: \u201cI am glad the couple is given long-awaited justice. Italy is yet again found in violation of human rights. The Oliari case is of the greatest importance to all people in Europe, especially to those living in countries that, as Italy, fail to comply with international standards and deny dignity and equality to LGBTI people.\u201d\nAlexander Schuster is ECSOL-member for Italy and for European fundamental freedoms and EU citizenship, as well as a practicing lawyer and academic researcher in the field of fundamental rights. He coordinates the EU-funded project www.rightsonthemove.eu on the freedom of movement of rainbow families in Europe.\nExcerpts from the judgment:\n174. In view of the above considerations, the Court considers that in the absence of marriage, same-sex couples like the applicants have a particular interest in obtaining the option of entering into a form of civil union or registered partnership, since this would be the most appropriate way in which they could have their relationship legally recognised and which would guarantee them the relevant protection \u2013 in the form of core rights relevant to a couple in a stable and committed relationship \u2013 without unnecessary hindrance. Further, the Court has already held that such civil partnerships have an intrinsic value for persons in the applicants\u2019 position, irrespective of the legal effects, however narrow or extensive, that they would produce (see Vallianatos, cited above, \u00a7 81). This recognition would further bring a sense of legitimacy to same-sex couples.\n180. The Court notes that in Italy the need to recognise and protect such relationships has been given a high profile by the highest judicial authorities, including the Constitutional Court and the Court of Cassation. Reference is made particularly to the judgment of the Constitutional Court no. 138/10 in the first two applicants\u2019 case, the findings of which were reiterated in a series of subsequent judgments in the following years (see some examples at paragraph 45 above). In such cases, the Constitutional Court, notably and repeatedly called for a juridical recognition of the relevant rights and duties of homosexual unions (see, inter alia, paragraph 16 above), a measure which could only be put in place by Parliament.\n181. The Court observes that such an expression reflects the sentiments of a majority of the Italian population, as shown through official surveys (see paragraph 144 above). The statistics submitted indicate that there is amongst the Italian population a popular acceptance of homosexual couples, as well as popular support for their recognition and protection.\n185. In conclusion, in the absence of a prevailing community interest being put forward by the Italian Government, against which to balance the applicants\u2019 momentous interests as identified above, and in the light of domestic courts\u2019 conclusions on the matter which remained unheeded, the Court finds that the Italian Government have overstepped their margin of appreciation and failed to fulfil their positive obligation to ensure that the applicants have available a specific legal framework providing for the recognition and protection of their same-sex unions.\n187. There has accordingly been a violation of Article 8 of the Convention.",

        "raw_content": "There are well-worn deer trails in my back yard. For some reason it\u2019s important to me that as I look out beyond my deck \u2013 although I\u2019m not exactly in the country \u2013 it\u2019s not the city either.\nOne side of my wraparound deck overlooks a large valley dotted with homes on winding lanes and, at this time of year, partially obscured by trees. The view from the back is my favorite though, because it faces the hillside. The solitude of the forest and it\u2019s natural inhabitants does wonders for my peace of mind.\nDoes and their fawns frequent the trails almost daily, and we occasionally see majestic bucks as well. Wild turkeys use the trails as often as the deer, slowly moving along in their distinctive herky-jerky steps, sometimes en masse, sometimes in single file. Once I saw the biggest coyote I\u2019ve ever seen darting along the path in dogged pursuit of some unseen prey, pausing to listen \u2013 or perhaps sniff \u2013 and then taking off again at a trot, and disappearing from view. I was mesmerized.\nThere are other critters that inhabit my back yard as well, with its hillside dotted with ponderosa pines (both standing and hewn) and here and there clumps of juniper hugging the ground: squirrels and chipmunks (which are practically indistinguishable, their evergreen diet apparently stunting their growth), forest shrews, plus an occasional mountain lion. I do my bit to clean up the natural debris that is deposited on the forest floor, contributing the pine needles, small sticks and pine cones to my supply of kindling for the fireplace.\nI know how lucky I am. I have lived in both the big city and the country, and this is without a doubt the best compromise for this stage of my life, an empty-nester who travels a lot. The cats and I are very happy here.\nBut you don\u2019t need a forest in your backyard to enjoy Mother Nature. America has taken the trouble to preserve millions of acres of wilderness, forests, and natural wonders for the enjoyment of all. Why not include some of these treasures in your travel plans this year?\nYou probably already know that America\u2019s National Parks System is the envy of the world. But did you know that the idea of setting aside wilderness areas for a \u201cnation\u2019s park\u201d began with frontier artist, George Catlin, in the journals of his pioneering 1832 journey to the continent\u2019s interior? Catlin spent the winter at Fort Union, a major Missouri River fur trade post owned by John Jacob Astor. Situated on what is today the North Dakota/Montana border, the fort was a magnet for Plains Indian tribes. He set up shop in the southwest blockhouse, painting the likeness of many prominent and lesser-known Natives that winter. A visit to this fort, complete with living history interpreters, is included on several of our tours, including the upcoming Lewis & Clark Trail.\nMany of America\u2019s most spectacular parks are located in the Great American West. The world\u2019s first national park (Yellowstone, 1872) and America\u2019s first national monument (Devil\u2019s Tower, 1906) are included in our programs, along with lesser-known gems like Colorado National Monument, Black Canyon of the Gunnison and the Mammoth Site. Theodore Roosevelt is responsible for many of them (even before the National Park Service was established in 1916) and one was even named for him, near his ranch in western Dakota. It is the only unit in the National Park System named for a person.\nBut not all great parks are national. South Dakota\u2019s Custer State Park is a wildlife preserve which is home to many animals \u2013 some of them previously endangered \u2013 and the locale of the annual fall buffalo roundup. Many parks now maintain herds of this magnificent pre-historic beast, but in 1900 there were only 400 of these unique mammals left in the world and their future looked grim. Again, thanks to conservationists and national parks (and more recently, private buffalo ranchers), they are no longer even on the endangered species list, and this natural treasure is here for all to enjoy.\nOver the years, I\u2019ve learned to appreciate that the rich cultural heritage of the Great American West go hand-in-hand with the spectacular natural wonders protected within the parks system. And you may have noticed that I make many Facebook posts promoting national parks sites. Alas, they too are on the endangered list right now. If you feel as I do that \u201cin wildness is the preservation of the world\u201d (Henry David Thoreau), please let your feelings be known to your congressional delegation.

Although I have not as yet traveled with you, I am very interested in the Lewis & Clark tour, this year I was already booked for a trip when I read about it.

        "raw_content": "Moms get sick, too\nI did something this week that a mother is never supposed to do. More, even, than occasionally melting down, a mother is never, ever supposed to get sick. The flu knocked me down for the count.\nIt\u2019s a bad flu season, and this is a particularly bad time of year. Alfs was sick earlier in the week (mild flu), Woody has been a little off (sore throat, low grade fever) and Sunshine has had a bit of a cough for a week or so (with no other symptoms), so clearly I\u2019ve been around the germs. As I laid awake at 3:30 in the morning when the oncoming aches and fever woke me from a sound sleep, I realized that although I had been diligent about making sure the kids had their flu shots this fall, I never managed to get one myself.Yes, I know that this year\u2019s flu shots missed the mark and they are not as effective as in past years. But still. Why was it that I either didn\u2019t think enough of myself to get one or thought too much of myself that I\u2019d never succumb?I was extremely lucky that my husband could take the day off of work and look after the kids. I don\u2019t know what I would have done if he hadn\u2019t! Although with our difference approaches, I\u2019m afraid to look too closely around the kitchen and family room. Don\u2019t get me wrong \u2014 he\u2019s a great dad and a better cook than me. We just do things differently.I don\u2019t do sick well. Upstairs, under piles of covers, I was still chilled, and I was lonely. I could hear everyone downstairs, sometimes laughing, sometimes bickering, and I plain missed them. Watching cooking shows and sappy movies just wasn\u2019t the same for company. When my husband did come up to bring me tea, I apologized for being ill, as if I could help it.I did think a lot about why moms often put themselves last. It\u2019s a common theme on makeover shows and talk shows \u2014 moms who put their appearance and their health last on the priority list. Sure, I understand how it happens. We get so busy taking care of the kids, the house, the partner, the rest of the world that when given a choice between a nap and an annual physical, I\u2019ll take the nap.But really, a mom taking care of herself is a smart economic investment. When we take care of ourselves and include our well-being in the priority list, it makes for a happier, healthier family. It\u2019s an example for our kids, it\u2019s fewer missed work days, and so on. While illness can\u2019t be avoided completely, being as proactive as possible about maintaining our health (including our mental health!) is a smart thing to do.Now please remind me of this next fall when I am making excuses for why I can\u2019t find time to get my flu shot.",

        "title": "The real location of Arundel\u2019s Maison Dieu - Shoreham Herald",
        "raw_content": "The real location of Arundel\u2019s Maison Dieu\nIn my last article I wrote about the ruins next to the post office and the museum in Mill Road, Arundel. I noted how they had been misidentified as the Maison Dieu until 1990, when Tim Hudson\u2019s excellent research clearly showed these were, in fact, the ruins of the Blackfriars Dominican Friary.\nThe confusion arose because of historical records describing a large religious building in the town known as the Hospital of the Holy Trinity, the Alms-house and the Maison Dieu.\nThe south front of St Nicholas Church and remains of the east and south sides of the college, drawn in 1780 by Grimm\nSo, where was this illusive Maison Dieu really located?\nHudson\u2019s detailed research was able to deduce this with reasonable certainty.\nIt is recorded that the Maison Dieu was founded with the support of the College of Secular Canons, which in circa 1380 was attached to the parish church.\nThis college had nothing to do with teaching; it was simply a group of lay choristers whose principle duty was to sing masses for the soul of their founder and his family.\nThe main college site now contains the Priory residential home and the Priory theatre in buildings that were mostly rebuilt in the 18th and 19th century.\nThe original statutes for the Maison Dieu indicate the building was close to the church and indeed, it would have been a far more logical location than down by the river as all but the severely-ill inmates were required to attend midday prayers in the Fitzalan chapel and carry out manual tasks such as weeding the nearby churchyard.\nConsidering all the inmates were not in the best of health, the weeding alone would have been a difficult enough task without having to climb up and down the steep High Street.\nThe college buildings near the south-east corner of the church partly survive today and were built in a mix of flint and stone similar to the church, which was also rebuilt after 1380.\nVery little evidence remains of the Maison Dieu, but if you head into the grounds of St Nicholas church and walk towards the far left-hand corner of the churchyard, you will see two flint and stone walls at right angles with blocked windows and doorways, of a 14th/15th-century character, which closely match the style of the church and college.\nThese outer walls are believed to be all that remains above ground of the Maison Dieu.\nThere is a record from an unknown visitor to the town in the 1720s who mentions an \u2018old priory\u2019 north-west of the church that was being demolished and its stone being used to replace the dilapidated old wooden town bridge.\nThis does fit with known information as the wooden bridge was indeed replaced by a stone one in 1724 and it is traditionally believed that much of the stone came from the ruins of the Maison Dieu, although previously assumed to have been the ruins by the river.\nThe main building of the Maison Dieu would have stood in the area where the Collector Earl\u2019s garden is now located and would have likely been built in a rectangular style.\nThere are other records from the early 19th century which note that numerous human bones were unearthed, apparently from a cemetery.\nHistorian Tim Hudson is convinced this location is correct and said: \u201cWhat is more likely is that this was the site of the Maison Dieu. It would then have formed a group of three contemporary buildings in the same style and materials with the church and college.\u201d\nAlthough the location of the Maison Dieu was misidentified for many years, we still know a reasonable amount about its establishment and key functions from historical records.\nRichard, Earl of Arundel, had originally planned to found a hospital or similar along with the college he was contemplating.\nUnfortunately he died in 1376, leaving both to be carried out by his successor who completed them circa 1395.\nIt was one of 28 mediaeval hospitals in Sussex, although \u2018hospital\u2019 more in the sense of \u2018hospitality\u2019 and was a sort of mediaeval care home for poor/older men who met the strict criteria.\nDetails of the original statutes of the Maison Dieu still exist and are referred to by local historian Tierney in his 1830s publication on the History of the Castle and Town of Arundel.\nA \u2018priest\u2019 under the title of \u2018master\u2019 was to preside and act as superior and chaplain and who was assisted by a prior elected by inmates from among themselves.\nThe master had to reside constantly within the walls of the hospital and was overly responsible for all its functions, which he was required to enforce either by \u2018admonition, correction or expulsion\u2019.\nThe brethren were required to wear a brown woollen gown with a hood, similar to a monk, and received a gift of shoes and socks each Christmas, and linen items at Easter.\nThe inmates were to be 20 unmarried or widowed poor men who were either too infirm or old to provide for themselves.\nThey were required to be men of moral lives and edifying conversation, and were required, as a qualification for their admission, to know the Pater-noster (Lord\u2019s Prayer), Salutation (The Hail Mary) and Credo (Creed) in Latin.\nPreference would be given if they were servants or tenants of the patron.\nIt was not an easy life.\nA typical day for the inmates would be rising at 5am (6am in winter) to unite in prayer, which included thanking their benefactor.\nIdleness and \u2018tale bearing\u2019 was discouraged and the morning tasks such as gardening, tidying the churchyard and nursing the sick were allocated according to strength and ability.\nThose who were no longer able to carry out manual work were expected to \u2018entertain their minds with prayer and meditation\u2019.\nAround midday, all were summoned to prayer and then dinner.\nThe afternoon continued with the allocated tasks until they were again summoned to prayer followed by refreshment and evening meal.\nAt 6pm (6.30pm in winter) the bell proclaimed the hour of rest.\nEveryone would once again give prayers of thanks and the whole community, with the exception of the master and his prior, retired for the night.\nLike many religious establishments in England, the Maison Dieu came to an end when it was suppressed during the Dissolution (circa 1546), the buildings mostly demolished and, in this case, the lands granted to Henry, Earl of Arundel.\n\u2022 With thanks to notes and articles by Tim Hudson and Mark Aloysius Tierney.",

        "raw_content": "Review: The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension\nPosted August 23, 2016 in DVD Reviews\nTags: Shout! Factory, W.D. Richter\nThe Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across The 8th Dimension was first released in 1984 and stars Peter Weller as the title character, Dr. Buckaroo Banzai. Banzai is a modern-day Renaissance man. He is a multi-instrumental rockstar, physicist and neurosurgeon, and he leads a crack company team, The Hong Kong Cavaliers. The film revolves around the unintended consequences of the testing of the oscillation overthruster\u2014a device that allows one to travel through solid matter and into another dimension. Due to the oscillation overthruster\u2019s immense power and dangerous appeal, Banzai and his gang, along with the help of the alien Black Lectroids from planet 10, must save the world from the evil from the eighth dimension, the Red Lectroids, led by the maniacal dictator Lord John Whorfin (John Lithgow).\nThe plot is simple: bad aliens vs. good guys who are helped by good aliens who will obliterate the Earth unless the baddies are stopped. Banzai is the definition of cool, as he breathes charisma and seemingly always knows what he is doing in any circumstance. Buckaroo Banzai is a quirky watch but a must-see. It is overly silly, simplistic and utterly charming. No wonder it is deemed a cult classic. I mean, this is the movie that boasts the infamous and honest quote, \u201cWherever you go, there you are.\u201d It\u2019s a saying that can be pulled out of thin air or one\u2019s back pocket and still maintains relevance, no matter the context. The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai requires no serious or controversial thought, and it risks no mental numbing\u2014it\u2019s just plain fun.\nIf you haven\u2019t seen The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension, then make haste to pick up a copy wherever it may be available. The film features a star-studded cast that includes Jeff Goldblum, Christopher Lloyd, Ellen Barkin and Clancy Brown. This new release has some sweet bonuses, too. It includes a two-hour retrospective documentary with new interviews from the cast and crew and a \u201cBuckaroo Banzai Declassified\u201d featurette on the second disc. Other bonuses include deleted scenes, trailers and audio commentary from Director W.D. Richter and writer Earl Mac Rauch. There is even an alternate opening that has Jamie Lee Curtis.\nFilms like these have a certain quality and grace that is largely lost on today\u2019s cinema, which prefaces stupidity and shock appeal over elegance. That, and Buckaroo Banzai is kind of silly, but in the best of ways. This is the kind of film that will always\u2014providing good taste continues to exist\u2014be timeless. Though the plot could be a little thicker, the delightful nature of this movie remains ever apparent. It\u2019s really just something else, much like anything that must be experienced at least once. So, go out unto the world and acquire The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension for your movie collection. Make some popcorn, sit back and dig this. \u2013Nick Kuzmack",

        "raw_content": "Following on from my last post on pricing, this goes to the heart of the issue of value.\nI think this is fascinating.\nIn January of 2007, the Washington Post conducted an experiment on how people\u2019s perceptions and priorities were influenced by context. They had Joshua Bell, one of the best violinists in the world, take the form of a street performer inside a busy subway station in Washington DC.\nBell played for 45 minutes using a 1713 Stradivarius (a violin worth about $3.5 million). He played six of the most powerful pieces of music written for solo violin from the likes of Bach, Shubert, Massenet and Ponce. Now this is a guy who regularly charges $100 or more a seat at concert halls around the world. During his performance, 1,097 people went through the subway station. Of them, only seven stopped and listened for a while. About 27 flicked money into the open violin case. There was no applause at the end of the performance. A total of $32.17 was collected.\nSo what are the lessons for business owners?\nWell, I think ulimately that context matters.\nThere are hundreds of examples of inventions and products that were technically superior to others on the market, yet failed. So if the quality of the product is superior, why isn\u2019t this enough to be successful?\nThe answer is context. In business terms this means marketing and positioning.\nAs business owners its important for us to remember that value is not intrinsic.\nIn a room full of pre-groomed fans, Bell is validated and recognised as the best. In a busy subway station, his talents are out of context and invalidated. Much like a painting worth millions in an art gallery. Put that same painting in a caf\u00e9 that showcases the works of local unknown artists with a $250 price tag. Would anyone buy it? Would they even notice it?\nSo think about your products and services for a moment. What can you do to improve their context in the market, and the perceived value they deliver?\nHere is the full story, including video of the experience.",

        "title": "Nationals Daniel Murphy, Giants Brandon Belt Are Risky Plays",
        "raw_content": "Nationals Daniel Murphy, Giants Brandon Belt Are Risky Plays\nHealth-Related Lineup Tips from insideinjuries.com\nMatt Adams 1B, Nationals \u2013 Sit\nAdams\u2019 left index finger was hit by a pitch when he squared up to attempt a bunt during Friday night\u2019s game, which caused considerable swelling and discomfort. X-rays of the finger didn\u2019t show any fractures, and Adams is expected to make a full recovery. According to Inside Injuries\u2019 algorithm, Adams\u2019 Return to Health Date is July 6, and he will be a High Injury Risk, especially if his finger isn\u2019t given adequate time to heal. An injury to a hitter\u2019s top hand and fingers on a bat can impact their performance, which is the reason for Adams\u2019 Poor Health Performance Factor. Adams\u2019 finger is set to be re-evaluated Monday in Washington after the swelling has some time to subside.\nAdams is a streaky type of hitter to begin with, and he\u2019s had a problem with plantar fasciitis at times this season. In fact, Adams stroked seven home runs during the first seven games played in May, but he\u2019s only hit three homers in the 28 games he\u2019s played in since May 7. It\u2019s no coincidence that Adams missed a few games at the end of May/beginning of June when the plantar fasciitis diagnosis was made public.\nMark Reynolds & Daniel Murphy 1B, Nationals \u2013 Cautious Starts\nIt should be an easy decision to replace Adams with either Reynolds or Murphy, but there are compelling reasons to avoid the whole situation. Reynolds, like Adams, tends to be streaky and is prone to extended slumps. Unfortunately, he is in the midst of a terrible slump right now. His overall numbers (.269/.329/.522) don\u2019t look too bad, but over the last 10 games he\u2019s played, he\u2019s been just awful with a .143/.211/.229 triple slash, one HR, one RBI and two runs scored. Murphy is fresh off the disabled list. While he\u2019s long surpassed his March 9 Return to Health date, Inside Injuries still lists Murphy as being a High Injury Risk with a Below Average Health Performance Factor. The Nationals are considering whether to play Murphy at first base going forward, a move they believe will put less stress on his surgically repaired knee. If they follow through with those plans, Reynolds may have a tough time getting at bats, and Adams will have to go to the outfield to play once he returns. Things get even more complicated when you factor in Ryan Zimmerman, who\u2019s been on the disabled list for the better part of a month with an injured oblique or back depending on who you believe. For now, you can cautiously start Murphy or Reynolds if you pay close attention to the team\u2019s lineup announcements each day. You will also need to pay close attention to Adams\u2019 and Zimmerman\u2019s progress in rehab and be ready to trade, drop or activate them according to your team\u2019s needs. In truth, though, it might be best to divest yourself of all four players and see what, if anything, you can get back in a trade.\nBrandon Belt 1B, Giants \u2013 Cautious Start\nBrandon Belt was activated by the Giants following an all too brief recovery period after emergency surgery for appendicitis. Inside Injuries\u2019 algorithm calculated a July 7 Return to Health date for Belt, so he will remain at High Risk for Injury because he\u2019s returned to the field with less than 50% of his recovery time served. In addition, Belt currently carries a Below Average Health Performance Factor. The primary danger for Belt is the incision point for the appendectomy, which could weaken his core muscles and leave him vulnerable to a hernia or a muscular tear. Prior to the surgery, Belt was one of the hottest hitters in MLB, batting .301/.396/.536 with 11 HRs, 31 RBIs, 32 Runs, and a pair of stolen bases. Fantasy owners should activate him immediately, but we also recommend that you hang on to your backup plan for Belt in the event he is further injured or suffers a setback.\nPablo Sandoval 1B/3B, Giants \u2013 Cautious Start\nThe Big Panda was the primary first baseman for the Giants while Brandon Belt was out following surgery. Sandoval will now move over to third base for at least the next six weeks or so because the Giants\u2019 regular third baseman, Evan Longoria, will be on the disabled list with a fractured hand. Sandoval has been remarkably healthy since the Red Sox traded him to the Giants last season. He\u2019s been working hard to clean up his reputation, which was damaged following a terrible trio of seasons with the Red Sox during which Sandoval played in a total of 161 games to produce .237/.286/.360 triple slash with 14 HRs, 59 RBIs, and 53 Runs. Granted, Sandoval endured multiple injuries during a difficult period of time in MLB when players were vilified for the use of steroids and human growth hormones to speed their recovery from injuries.\nRight now, it appears that his good health is producing in accordance with his Above Average Health Performance Factor, as Sandoval is currently posting a .279/.346/.451 line with five HRs, 23 RBIs and 12 Runs scored over just 122 at bats. While that isn\u2019t what we\u2019d call \u201cexplosive\u201d production, there is no question he is hot at the plate now. It\u2019s certainly good enough for deep mixed and mid-sized NL-Only league play. You\u2019ll have to monitor his performance, which could crater at any time, but it appears he will be productive for at least a few more weeks.\nThe Mets activated Jeurys Familia Sunday. You\u2019ll want him active right away despite his Below Average Health Performance Factor\u2026The Indians welcomed Tyler Naquin and his .333/.360/.457 production back. Fantasy owners should get Naquin active as soon as possible, as he is already listed with a Low Overall Injury Risk\u2026 Elvis Andrus\u2019 return to the Texas Rangers appears imminent as he was heading to the team\u2019s Triple-A Round Rock facility to play one or two rehab games. Andrus has fully recovered from a broken elbow and surpassed his May 30 Optimal Return to Health date, which explains his Above Average Health Performance Factor. Prior to the injury, Andrus was tearing through pitchers at a breakneck pace of .327/.426/.500. Andrus\u2019 return will mean a reduction in playing time and at bats for Jurickson Profar, who did well at .239/.313/.440, but still has consistency issues.",

Getty Images\nClark County agency seeks to create local drug-free work places\nA new initiative in Clark County will help employers create drug-free work place policies as the opioid epidemic has left employers searching for qualified workers.\nThe Mental Health and Recovery Board of Clark, Greene and Champaign Counties was one of 17 Ohio cities recently selected to participate in the Working Partners Drug-Free Workforce Community Initiative.\nAs the number of opioid drug overdoses has increased over the past two years, employers have reported having trouble finding new employees who can pass a drug test, said Tracey Stute, director of treatment, prevention and support for the recovery board. Positive drug tests for employment screenings have increased nationwide in each of the past three years, according to a study by Quest Laboratories.\nThe board received a $20,000 grant from the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Recovery Services to kick-start the program, Stute said. She spoke about the initiative at the Springfield Rotary meeting Monday.\nThe new program will assist employers in creating drug-free policies, Stute said, including helping employees seek treatment and second chance approaches.\n\u201cIt will help with a road map,\u201d she said.\nThe system will also have to respond to employers needs to quickly help get employees help, Stute said.\n\u201cWe\u2019re trying to work with our side of things to figure out how we can be responsive to employers,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s really kind of a challenge for us.\u201d\nAs part of the program, a free technical assistance course is being offered to five companies in the community, allowing them to create or refine a drug-free workplace policy. It will allow businesses to save time and money and create a system to retain and attract employees, she said.\nThe course will also cover drug trends impacting the workforce, legal issues like Ohio\u2019s medical marijuana laws and best practices for operating a program.\n\u201cIt\u2019s one of the benefits of this initiative,\u201d Stute said. \u201cThe goal for us is to sustain this initiative. Hopefully it\u2019s not the end, but just the beginning.\u201d\nThe two-day course will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Global Impact STEM Academy.\nTo apply or for more information, call Jennipher Brown at 937-322-0648. The registration deadline is Friday.\nThe initiative recently collected data from local businesses, Stute said.\nThe board is also collecting data from local community leaders on this issue. The deadline to participate in that survey is Friday. To participate, call the board office at 937-322-0648.",

        "raw_content": "Home > Russia/Ukraine Sanctions > US State Department Announces New Russia Sanctions\nOn August 8, 2018, the US State Department announced that it would be imposing new sanctions on Russia pursuant to the Chemical and Biological Weapons Control and Warfare Elimination Act of 1991 (CBW Act). The new sanctions are in response to a determination by the US government that the Russian government was behind the recent use of a nerve agent in the United Kingdom against two UK citizens. The CBW Act requires the imposition of sanctions following a determination by the President (delegated to the Secretary of State) of the use of chemical or biological weapons in violation of international law or in lethal form against one\u2019s own nationals. Sanctions under the CBW Act, which are expected to take effect on August 22nd, include the termination of foreign assistance, suspension of sales of defense articles or services, denial of credit or other financial assistance by the US government, and a prohibition of exports of national security-sensitive goods and technology. In a background briefing the State Department announced that it is making \u201ca number of carve-outs\u201d to these sanctions to allow the continuation of certain foreign assistance; exports for space flight activities, safety of commercial passenger aviation, and \u201cpurely commercial end users for civilian end uses\u201d; and perhaps other activities. A Federal Register notice that is to be published by the State Department on August 22 should explain the sanctions and carve-outs in more detail. According to the State Department, this is the third occasion on which sanctions have been imposed under the CBW Act. Sanctions under the Act were imposed against Syria in 2013 and against North Korea earlier this year.\nUnder the CBW Act, additional, more significant sanctions must be imposed in another three months unless the US government determines at that time that the relevant foreign government is no longer using chemical or biological weapons, that the government has provided reasonable assurances that it will not in the future use such weapons, and that on-site inspections or other reliable means can be used to verify compliance. If the US government cannot make this determination, then the CBW Act requires the imposition of at least three of a \u201cmenu\u201d of additional sanctions, including US opposition to the extension of loans or financial assistance to that country by international financial institutions, the prohibition of providing credit to the government by US banks, the prohibition of most exports and imports involving that country, the downgrade or suspension of diplomatic relations, and the possible suspension of aviation rights into the United States. Removal of sanctions is possible following certain reassurances regarding no use or preparations to use chemical or biological weapons and the allowance of on-site inspections.\nA waiver of any of the CBW Act sanctions is possible if the President determines and certifies to Congress that the waiver is essential to the national security interests of the United States.",

I had gone to the Cedar Park Veteran's Day Parade on Saturday and had arrived a little early to look around the park for ideas for a portrait shoot I was doing the next morning. As I walked around the park with our friend Laura we found Dr. Mo of Cedar Park's Chirofit Wellness Center waiting at the park's monument. He asked if I was the photographer from the paper. He was waiting for a veteran to arrive to present him with one of the bricks that is laid in the walkways around the memorial. I told him I was not with the paper, but would be happy to take their photo when the vet arrived. Shortly after that Dorian Cooper and his family (his wife Lisa and their daughters Dora Anne and Jasmine) came walking up. Lisa had only told Dorian that they needed to go to the monument but Dorian told her that wasn't where the parade was. Little did he know what she had in store for him. Dr. Mo and Chirofit have been presenting bricks to veterans of employees and patients for several years. This year Dorian's was one of three they were presenting for Veteran's Day. It was great to be there and share the special occasion with Dorian and his family. Thanks Dr. Mo for supporting our troops and thanks goes out to all the vets who have given so much.",

        "raw_content": "By Rita Hart\nLetter to the Editor: Reader wonders if Sidney has grown to be too large\nJust have to wonder, is Sidney getting too big for its britches? Seeing and hearing about all of the turmoil that Sidney has been through in the last six months makes me wonder.\nFirst we find out that our \u201cnew\u201d police chief is getting in trouble over something that happened almost right after he was hired. And the \u201cgood ol\u2019 boys\u201d who got him in trouble decide they don\u2019t want to play the game anymore, so they leave their positions and throw him under the bus so that he has no choice other than to leave his position. This man was the man for this position, and it\u2019s a shame that now we have to start looking for another police chief that will hopefully come close to B.J. Wilkinson.\nThen the money we are spending on the walking trail south of Sidney, the new \u201cWelcome to Sidney\u201d sign and landscaping, which in my opinion was not necessary and all it\u2019s going to do is form a big snowdrift on the streets south of it, and the millions we are spending on a new swimming pool that will be open maybe 11 weeks out of a year. We have neighbors, friends and family who have lost jobs here in Sidney. These people are forced to move because there are no other jobs around here for them.\nI\u2019m sure everyone noticed how their property evaluations went up this past year. If anyone owns farm ground, it really went up this past year, and we are being to that the new high school taxes haven\u2019t really even hit the books yet. The school district wants us to vote in another new school? Good luck with that.\nDon\u2019t get me wrong, I would love to have new schools and a nice swimming pool for the children and community of Sidney, but can we afford it? I know of a lot of families who voted for the new high school who no longer live here, but those of us that do are now paying for it.\nThe citizens of Sidney are tired of being taxed to death. A lot wonder what else in this town has been pushed under the rug for others or files pulled from being prosecuted in the past years that haven\u2019t been looked into or brought to our attention.\nDon\u2019t be doing things that you don\u2019t want the citizens to find out about! And if you do, and if need be, you should be brought to justice just as any other citizen would be. It should not matter where or who you work for. People are stressed and anxious wondering if today will be their last day at work.\nThe citizens of Sidney are just wondering what the future holds for our little town with big city prices.\n\u2013 Rita Hart",

        "raw_content": "South American Beach Games are being set\nThe first meeting for the organization of the South American Beach Games took place in Montevideo and Punta del Este this past weekend. The Games will be carried out from February 27 to March 8 at Montevideo and Punta del Este beaches in Uruguay.\nIt will be the second time an Olympic Movement Beach Games are held. The first one finished on October 27th in Bali, Indonesia where surfing had been successfully included. In fact, surfing was the favorite sport in the on-line voting at the Beach Games website.\nAuthorities of the Uruguayan Bureau of Tourism and Sports, the Uruguayan Olympic Committee, the South American Sports Organization (ODESUR) and different representatives of the ten sports that will be part of the Games \u2013 Beach Rugby, Beach Handball, Open Sea Swimming competitions, Beach Volley, Triathlon, Water Sky, Sailing, Soccer, Fitness and Surfing- gathered together in the Radisson Victoria Plaza Hotel at Montevideo and in Solanas at Punta del Este.\nIn the meeting, all the technical details for the different sports were set and Surfing had its own place side by side with some Olympic Sports. Another step in the long path of surfing\u2019s inclusion into the Olympic Games.\nSurfing will have three events: Open Men, Open Women and Aloha Cup (Tag Team). Each country will participate with four Open Men and Two Open Women surfers to have a full team. Medals will be delivered to individual men and women performances and to the Aloha Cup team. Surfers will compete as members of their National Olympic Committee delegation.\nMontoya is the beach chosen for the surfing event. It has a left pointbreak, a right pointbreak and a consistent beachbreak between the two points.\nThe following will be the fifteen countries that invitated to participate in the Games: Argentina, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Venezuela, Colombia, Brazil, Paraguay, Bolivia, Guyana, Suriname, Netherlands Antilles, Panama, Aruba and Uruguay.\nTen of these countries have a national federation recognized by the International Surfing Association, thus these ten countries are expected to compete in surfing, for a total of 60 athletes.\nFernando Aguerre, the ISA President, said about the presence of Surfing in this important event: \u201cThe presence of the ISA official representatives in the ODESUR Beach Games, along ISA vice president Karin Sierralta and PASA vice president Juca de Barros proves the interest we all have in turning surfing into an Olympic sport.\nThe ISA has just finished successfully the organization of the surf competitions in the Asian Beach Games in Bali. The collaboration of the ISA, recognized by the IOC, and PASA, recognized by the ISA, and USU (Uruguay Surfing Union), a member of the ISA, will help us have a great event in the excellent waves of Punta del Este.\u201d\nIn the next days, the ISA will be dealing with the details for surfing to have again a great event inside the Olympic Movement.\nBrazilian flags raised in the first South American Beach Games\nPerfect waves mark the 2009 South American Beach Games\nSurfers arrive at the South American Beach Games in Uruguay",

        "raw_content": "Gold Excellence Award\n3D Laser Scanning of the Triumphal Arch on the Bridge of Remembrance, Christchurch .\nEntered by Woods Ltd; NZIS Members: Vanda Kadlecikova and Rowan Hallam\nMost, if not all, guests in this room will be familiar with the Bridge of Remembrance over the Avon River located in the heart of Christchurch. Like numerous structures throughout Christchurch, the Triumphal Arch and Bridge of Remembrance were affected by the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes and required to be bought up to 100% building code. Consequently, an enormous amount of additional strengthening needed to be added to the existing arch structure, which, as Historic Places Category 1 meant the strengthening had to fit inside the existing cavities of the arch structure. At 14m high for the major columns and 7m high for the minor columns, the relationship of the internal cavities of each column and arch to the external surfaces was critical. 3D laser scanning by Woods was commissioned to capture the cavities that engineers would use for 3-dimensional structural design.\nThe judges were impressed with the innovation by Woods to overcome professional and technical challenges in this project. At the commencement of the contract the exact nature, access and layout cavities were not known due to the sealed nature of the structure. The features of each void were only available as each cavity was exposed. An example of such challenges is the platforms that were discovered in the internal cavities would mean scanning from the void top and bottom the point cloud could not join and a gap would exist for the middle third of the voids. Without the ability to tie the top and bottom scans together the accuracies of each scan could not be verified. The intermediary platforms inside the narrow vertical cavities were removed and access provided to the bottom of the 7m and 14m cavities. Another challenge was the data capture down the tall and narrow cavities so they inverted the scanner above the void the top of the arch structure by half a meter on a bespoke bracket which allowed a greater overlap of point cloud and assisted the cloud to cloud registration by sampling a greater volume of data.\nAn accurate point cloud allowed the designer to proceed with confidence, identify design clashes, confirm the ability to build, and demonstrate the available space to manoeuvre the structural steel into place. Vanda Kadlecikova carried out Site scanning and led the data processing, while Rowan Hallam was responsible for project Planning and set up, as well as data processing and delivery.\nSilver Excellence Award\nWaterview Tunnel \u2013 The Northern Monitoring Zone\nEntered by Well Connected Alliance ( NZ Transport Agency, Fletcher Construction, McConnell Dowell Constructors, Parsons Brinkerhoff, Beca Infrastructure, Tonkin & Taylor and Obayashi Corporation)\nNZIS member Michael Cutfield (Fletcher Construction)\nContinuous Real time monitoring is a complete Surveying and Information Communications Technology system designed to detect movements of 2mm or greater in the built environment. Measurements can be viewed as they happen and are processed and presented in a form that can be interpreted by anyone. NZTA required this monitoring regime as part of the Waterview connection tunnelling project to provide immediate alerts of structural movement and safety risks and immediate identification of trends and future risks.\nThe Northern Monitoring Zone was designed as an array of survey marks which span across both tunnels for the northern 400m of the twin tunnels and the real-time monitoring allows the tunnel boring machine operators to monitor surface changes. With 55,000 vehicle movements pre day Great North Road is the busiest local government owned road in the country and is also where Alice is the shallowest and in the weakest soil. Real-time monitoring of this area was important for public safety and early detection in case of ground failure. Alice costs the project around $100k per day to operate and the continuous real-time monitoring ensures no delays.\nLevel control came from 10 benchmarks over the length of the project, 2 of those marks were on bridge columns/piles, and 8 were drilled into the bedrock - in one case, this was 28m deep. These were levelled many times with a precise level and for the purpose of the Continuous monitoring, the primary level control is checked against the local secondary control on a daily basis.\nSurvey marks needed to be measured by conventional methods but situated so they didn\u2019t impede the public\u2019s enjoyment of the area. On the road, specialised prisms were ordered that looked like normal cats eyes. A total station needed to be on site 24/7, so a protective wooden box was fabricated that provided protection from the weather and discouraged vandals. The real-time monitoring was supported by daily precise level monitoring. A laptop received the readings and needed to be within continuous radio range so it was kept in the security guard\u2019s hut.\nUsing the Trimble 4D monitoring suite a web portal provided access to live updates. The major challenges that the Alliance dealt with were keeping Alice\u2019s operators, design verifiers, the local council and the client informed of any immediate ground movements; establishing control that is fixed and will not move with the changing seasons; transferring the primary control to be within range of the total stations, keeping survey costs affordable; and monitoring in public areas. The system has since been implemented in other parts of the project with success and is a testament to the professional input from Michael Cutfield.\nMerit Excellence Award\nEntered by Mike Stott, Lysaght Consultants\nLysaght Consultants played an integral part of a recent site development at 850 Cameron Road, Tauranga. 850 Ltd purchased a site that was vacant and being used as a free carpark by Hospital staff and visitors to the hospital. There were numerous hurdles to cross to bring this to a successful multi-use development. During the design phase, Lysaght\u2019s obtained a land use consent to allow continued operating as an unofficial car park \u2013 even though no fees were being collected from the site.\nOne of the significant risks for 850 Ltd was that any redevelopment of the site creating vehicle movements over and above the existing residential movements would require the intersection at 18 th Avenue Ave and Cameron road to be signalised. Cameron Road would also have to be widened to accommodate the new signals. Early pricing of signals and road widening was priced in the order of 1 million dollars.\nFortunately, Lysaght\u2019s established working relationship with Tauranga City Council helped negotiate a cost share agreement between Council and 850 Ltd, because the project would not be viable if 850 Ltd had to foot the entire bill. Limited notified; non-complying; land use and unit title consents completed Lysaght\u2019s planning process.\n850 Ltd identified the site as being in a perfect location to build a commercial development that had activities that were complementary to the Tauranga Hospital campus, which is located directly across from the site on Cameron Road. It was determined that the construction of three separate buildings on the site specifically designed to cater for a motel, child care facility, caf\u00e9 and associated professional medical suites were going to be the best utilisation of the site.\nLysaght\u2019s engineering team undertook the detailed design of the widening of Cameron Road in conjunction with Traffic Design Group, and the detailed engineering design of the internal services of the development site itself.\nOne of the major milestones of the development was the signalisation of the 18 th Avenue and Cameron Intersection which needed to be completed and operational before any activity could commence on the site. The delivery time for the road widening was very tight and included construction during the Christmas close-down period. A good working relationship between Lysaght and the contractors allowed the commissioning of the lights to be completed one day before the childcare facility officially opened.\nPrevious Winners-Award of Excellence Resource Sheet pdf555 KB",

        "raw_content": "\u00ab Previous: Webinar: Cloud DevSecOps with\u2026\nNext: Shield your home from spies |\u2026 \u00bb\nBSIMM9: Not a how-to but a roadmap to a better SSI\nYou\u2019ve probably seen the commercials. Different situations but always the same theme. In one of them, a guy tells his neighbor, \u201cI need to get my roof repaired. Do you know any contractors?\u201d\n\u201cUh, yeah, I might,\u201d the neighbor replies.\n\u201cGreat,\u201d says the first guy. \u201cCan you do a free background check on him for me, get me some additional quotes, research the average price for the job in this area, and book the job for two weeks from now\u2026on a Wednesday? No, Tuesday\u2014yeah, Tuesday\u2019s better.\u201d\nAt which point he walks off, leaving the neighbor with his mouth agape.\nThe pitch, of course, is that while it would be both crazy and rude to make such a demand of a neighbor, there\u2019s an app for that\u2014to help you navigate the uncertain, sometimes treacherous world of finding a quality building contractor.\nThe BSIMM\u2014Building Security In Maturity Model\u2014is not an app. It\u2019s an annual report, now in its ninth iteration (BSIMM9). But when it comes to the even more treacherous world of developing an effective SSI\u2014software security initiative\u2014it is as good as an app\u2014likely the best tool available to cut through at least some of the confusion and uncertainty, which is massive.\nIndeed, besides constant and evolving cyber threats, the number of vendors in the software security industry is information overload all by itself. At this year\u2019s RSA conference in April, there were more than 600 vendors in the exhibit halls, virtually all of them pitching security solutions.\nAs Sammy Migues, principal scientist at Synopsys, who has been one of the authors of the BSIMM report since the beginning, put it, \u201cFrom a consumer perspective, the vendor marketplace is fragmented; you have to know exactly what you want so that you can get the best parts from multiple vendors and assemble them yourself.\n\u201cTool output is often useful only to those who already know the answer,\u201d he added, \u201cnot to the people who don\u2019t understand security issues.\u201d\nA guide to SSI activities\nThere is no simple answer to bridge that knowledge gap, and the BSIMM doesn\u2019t pretend that it can close it entirely. It makes it clear up front that it is not a \u201chow to\u201d on developing an SSI. Nor is it even a \u201cwhat to do.\u201d\nBut it is very much a \u201cwhat\u2019s happening now\u201d guide\u2014based on observations of 120 participating companies in eight verticals: financial, independent software vendors (ISVs), tech, healthcare, Internet of Things (IoT), insurance, cloud, and retail.\nThose observations cover 116 SSI activities, grouped into 12 practices, which, in turn, belong to four domains: Governance, Intelligence, SSDL (Secure Software Development Lifecycle) Touchpoints, and Deployment.\nThe data collected and organized are available to any organization for free\u2014BSIMM reports are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike\u2014and essentially report what the participating organizations are doing and what tools they are using to enable their SSIs. In other words, you can see what activities and tools are already working, or perhaps not working, for others in your industry.\nWhich can take you a long way toward knowing what to do. Also scattered through the practices are references to particular tools to improve security, which include those for automation, various types of software analysis, fuzz testing, and penetration testing.\nStill, even though SSI activities are covered in detail, there are no specific recommendations on exactly which tools to use, or when, or which vendors might be better qualified than others.\nWhy not? Dr. Gary McGraw, vice president of security technology at Synopsys, who, with Migues, has been one of the authors of every BSIMM report, said that was actually one of the original goals.\n\u201cThe idea in the initial days was that we could gather information and tell people what to do. As 10 years have shown, that isn\u2019t possible,\u201d he said.\n\u201cWe\u2019re not saying this is a bunch of disorganized data. But even among the mature firms, there is no one way they do it. They don\u2019t even all use the same static analysis tool.\u201d\nHow to use the BSIMM\nStill, there is obvious value in such a comprehensive list of SSI activities.\n\u201cFor example, lots of other people are doing SAST [static application security testing], using external pen testers, and using black box security tools in the QA [quality assurance] process,\u201d Migues said.\n\u201cHowever, the BSIMM doesn\u2019t always make them smarter about understanding which products really work and which products work in a way that\u2019s right for them over time.\n\u201cThey really need to do bake-offs,\u201d he said. \u201cThey need to ask hard questions about what the products actually accomplish and what\u2019s the total cost of ownership for getting that done, including the disruption to everyone\u2019s day.\u201d\nHe added that evaluating and recommending specific vendors \u201cis Gartner\u2019s and Forrester\u2019s job. We wouldn\u2019t want to attempt that.\u201d\nMcGraw said there is definitely a \u201cshould do\u201d element to the BSIMM, but it is global, and not specific to a single firm or even a single industry. That, of course, is to build more secure software.\n\u201cWe\u2019re saying, \u2018Here\u2019s what you should do for the world, all together,\u2019\u201d he said.\nThe BSIMM\u2019s third author, Jacob West, vice president of cloud operations at Oracle, acknowledges the difficulty of creating an SSI. \u201cOrganizations still face tough questions around how and when to deploy tools as part of their software security initiatives,\u201d he wrote in a prologue to this year\u2019s edition. \u201cHowever, armed with the BSIMM, they no longer suffer the uncertainty of answering those questions in a near vacuum.\u201d\nBSIMM9 is your roadmap to software security.",

        "title": "The real dangers behind the Syrian crisis",
        "raw_content": "The real dangers behind the Syrian crisis\nBack in 2010/2011 when I was still writing under the pen-name Giordano Bruno, I warned extensively about the dangers of any destabilization in the nation of Syria, long before the real troubles began. In an article titled Migration Of The Black Swans, I pointed out that due to Syria\u2019s unique set of alliances and economic relationships the country was a \u201ckeystone\u201d for disruption in the Middle East and that a \u201crevolution\u201d (or civil war) was imminent. Syria, I warned, represented the first domino in a chain of dominoes that could lead to widespread regional warfare and draw in major powers like the U.S. and Russia.\nThat said, my position has always been that the next \u201cworld war\u201d would not be a nuclear war, but primarily an economic war. Meaning, I believe it is far more useful for establishment elites to use the East as a foil to bring down certain parts of the West using economic weapons, such as the dumping of the U.S. dollar. The chaos this would cause in global markets and the panic that would ensue among the general public would provide perfect cover for the introduction of what the globalists call the \u201cgreat financial reset.\u201d The term \u201creset\u201d is essentially code for the total centralization of all fiscal and monetary management of the world\u2019s economies under one institution, most likely the IMF. This would culminate in the destruction of the dollar\u2019s world reserve status, it\u2019s replacement being the IMF\u2019s Special Drawing Rights basket currency system.\nEventually, the SDR basket system would act as a stepping stone towards a single global currency system, and its final form and function would probably be entirely digital. This would give the globalists total push-button control over even the smallest aspects of normal trade. The amount of power they would gain from a single centralized digital currency system would be endless.\nSyria in itself is just on layer upon many in the process of global instability, but it seems to be vitally important to the elites given that they continually make new attempts to draw the American public into support for so called \u201cregime change.\u201d\nMainstream media publications like The New York Times continuously press the narrative that Syrian president Bashar al-Assad has a long history of war crimes including the use of chemical weapons against civilians. Yet, neither The New York Times nor anyone in government has produced a single piece of compelling concrete evidence that Assad is guilty of such acts, including the latest chemical attack which the Trump administration as used as a rational for cruise missile strikes against Syrian military targets and rhetoric calling for the ousting of Assad.\nWe saw the same exact model used under the Obama administration in 2013: A chemical attack against civilians which the White House then immediately, without evidence, uses to implicate Assad and call for regime change. This tactic to seduce the American public into war fever failed, and Obama backed away (in part) from full blown invasion of Syria. Now, it would appear that the establishment hopes they\u2019ll get a better response using the same con-game under Trump.\nThere are far more advantages in the Trump scenario, however.\nIt has been my longstanding belief, since the middle of last year, that Trump would undoubtedly be president of the U.S. because the international banking cabal need a scapegoat for the ongoing economic crisis they have been engineering for many years. The Syrian strategy is a win/win for the elites under Trump because, with Trump, there is no need for moderation. If they can influence him to rampage without concern for the repercussions in the region, then their scapegoat implicates him and conservatives in general with little effort on their part.\nGeorge Soros\u2018 prophecy that Trump \u201cwill fail\u201d because he is \u201cunpredictable and unprepared\u201d and that he will \u201cend up bad for the markets\u201d will become a self-fulfilling prophecy.\nI warned the liberty movement over and over again after Trump\u2019s cabinet selection that he was surrounding himself with establishment ghouls that would either run the White House in spite of him, or that he was gladly cooperating with. His recent high tension rhetoric against the Syrian government and against North Korea only seems to confirm my suspicions.\nSo, where is this all headed? Nowhere good\u2026\nFirst, consider the fact that every time it appears that the Syrian government seems to be making headway in destroying ISIS, there is suddenly another chemical attack which places Assad under suspicion. Anyone who read my article ISIS Is Being Aimed At The West By Globalists \u2014 Here\u2019s What We Can Do About It, published in 2015, has seen the extensive evidence I outlined which shows U.S. government complicity and even direct aid in the creation of ISIS. I compared the rise of ISIS to Operation Gladio, a massive false flag project undertaken by U.S. and European governments in Europe from the 1950s to the 1990s.\nISIS is useful as a perpetual boogeyman, and sadly, the Muslim religion has one foot stuck in the dark ages and will remain fertile ground for generating extremist groups for decades to come. The elites have every intention of protecting certain factions of ISIS in Syria, which means that ISIS will continue to spread from the area into the EU and the U.S. and terrorist attacks will continue to multiply.\nSecond, we have learned that the Trump administration is perfectly willing to fast-track certain longstanding establishment projects that involve kinetic action (i.e. destruction and death). If they were happy to move so quickly to strike Syria without supplying any evidence to support the measure, then it should come as no surprise if they are willing to strike North Korea, a country with actual means to threaten American targets or our interests in the Pacific. A precedent is being set today for an ongoing program of fast moving preemptive strikes. I believe this will go even beyond Barack Obama\u2019s notorious penchant for trigger pulling to destabilize regions.\nThird, I think many people also forget that Syria continues to maintain a mutual defense pact with Iran. Why does this matter? Syria is not Libya; Assad is not going to go down like Gaddafi at the hands of insurgent groups like ISIS. Regime change in Syria is going to require numerous U.S. boots on the ground. This, in turn, will invite hundreds of thousands from the Iranian Guard to intercede. If you study military preparedness around the world you know that a country like Iran or North Korea will offer far greater resistance than what we saw in Afghanistan or Iraq.\nWhile they are still very monetarily poor nations militarily, they are still relatively well-trained, and the technology gap is less expansive. Many American men will die in such a fight. If ground invasion becomes an option in Syria, expect Iran to be next, and expect the option of a new \u201cdraft\u201d to return to the U.S.\nThird, there is, of course, the ongoing question as to when U.S. and Russian forces will \u201cstumble\u201d over each other and someone gets killed? The majority of analysts in the liberty movement expect that this is inevitable. I suppose I agree, but I do not believe the elites have been entrenching billions of dollars in control grid technology in every major city in the world just to vaporize them in a chain of mushroom clouds (this control grid includes Russian cities \u2014 just look up Putin\u2019s Yaroslavl laws, which would make the NSA envious).\nIt seems to me that the natural progression of these tensions will end in economic retaliation from the East against the West, not nuclear retaliation. The thing is, this is actually a worse case scenario.\nWith nuclear conflagration comes immediate loss of full spectrum awareness for the elites. They lose their surveillance grid, they lose the means to maintain a healthy standing military, they lose the means to dictate the narrative because the mainstream media will not be functioning at that point, etc. During an economic crisis, they can shift wealth easily to safe havens, they can weaken certain militaries while strengthening others. They retain their control grid apparatus and use it effectively against the citizenry as long as there is not substantial civilian resistance, and the list goes on.\nWith nuclear war there would be total chaos. With economic crisis there is controlled chaos. The establishment prefers the latter course.\nEastern nations and their allies still hold considerable U.S. Treasury bonds in their coffers, and they still use the dollar for the most part as the world reserve currency (though they have been preparing the ground for a dollar dump since at least 2008). On top of this, many of these nations also have the option of dumping the dollar as the petro-currency and crushing our monopoly on how oil is traded globally. If any of these measures are taken by countries like Russia, China and Saudi Arabia, the U.S. economic structure will lose the last pillar holding it in place. We will effectively move into third-world status in the course of a few years.\nThese are not hypothetical dangers, these are very real danger which have already been mentioned publicly by Eastern interests in their own media. They are also dangers which serve the globalist agenda in the long run. As I have noted time and time again in the past with ample evidence, Eastern governments including Russia and China openly and avidly support the International Monetary Fund and continue to call for the IMF to take over global management of all monetary policy to form a single world currency system. They may be \u201canti-U.S.,\u201d but they are not anti-globalist.\nSyria remains a highly useful catalyst for the globalists to achieve the crisis they need to push their great reset forward. Being that they have tried to thrust Americans into that quagmire so many times over the past few years, I think it is safe to say they plan to use Syria as trigger point whether we cooperate or not.\nBloomberg poll: Trump up two nationally in 4-way race\nposted at 12:01 pm on September 26, 2016 by Ed Morrissey She\u2019s not up 50 points.

I'm skinny and I'm in good shape, I just don't want all this bad food to come back and haunt me later in life. I don't want to be fat... help me!\nComments for Eating healthy\nI'm glad that you are interested in eating healthy. There have been entire books and websites about this topic.\nOne book I have read and recommend is, \"Greater Health God's Way,\" by Stormie O'Martian.\nYou could probably find an inexpensive copy at Ebay.\nKeep fixing your eyes on Jesus, Cassidy!\nGreater Health God's Way: 7 Steps to Inner and Outer Beauty\nBy Stormie Omartian / Harvest House Publishers\nDo traditional diet and exercise programs leave you feeling unsatisfied? That's because they don't help you nurture your mind, body, and soul! Omartian outlines seven steps to greater health including peaceful living, proper exercise, prayer and fasting, perfect rest, and healthy food. Nurturing these qualities will hep you develop the discipline you need to be a strong, vital, ministering person. Paperback.\nTips to healthy eating\nHi Cassidy!\nI think it's great that you are taking an interest in your own health!\nMaybe you want to take a deeper look into what goes into junk food and what makes the food so unhealthy, and you may be so disgusted you won't want to eat it the next time!\nAlso, healthy food can be really yummy as well. Eat fruits when you're feeling greedy, and you can get creative with fruits.. there are smoothies, you can make jellies with them too!\nI think the best thing would be to discipline yourself. Be accountable to someone who cares for you and wants you to eat healthily, and surround yourself with people who eat healthily as well. It would be very difficult if all your friends always eat junk food and you have to say no all the time.\nThank you for sharing. I understand your concerns.\nDoes it ever seem like you are given mixed messages all the time, both for and against adhering to certain eating habits? It's hard to decipher what is best, and even harder not to want to go to extremes because it's confusing to think about about making changes and if it will be too difficult and the dangers of going too far and letting something that seems healthy take control of other parts of your life. It might seem dramatic, but that has happened to me! Healthy eating is only one of the ways God hopes we will continue to take care of ourselves as we get older.\nBecoming more health conscious cam be a good thing for reasons like enabling our bodies and minds to get the proper nutrients they need to help us live productive, purposeful lives. But if there's one thing I would have liked to tell myself when I started exploring health a few years back, it would have been to look at food and body image in a more balanced way, through the lense of Christ. Speaking from experience, if you're not being healthful for the right reasons, it could be destructive to you later on.\nAlso, your body will likely change a lot in the next few years. Whatever size and shape you become, please know that your true beauty is not dependent on maintaining the look you may have now. There is something special about becoming the person God made you to be as an adult, no matter if it is a little different than it used to be.\nEating God's way\nI agree with Shelley. I am thrilled with the book Greater Health God's Way. I have struggled for many years with how to eat.\nIn the past I craved junk food almost constantly. I have been eating according to Greater Health for almost 2 months. Now, I am very rarely hungry, I have lost about 10 pounds and I rarely have cravings for unhealthy foods.\nAccording to the author of the book, if you are too thin or too fat, eating this way will even out your weight. In my experience, the focus should be on eating according to God's plan and not on being a certain weight.\nI wish I was eating according to God's way when I was your age! May the Lord guide you and keep you in His ways.",

        "raw_content": "Cruz: Amend U.S. Constitution to Preserve Same-Sex Marriage Bans\nU.S. Sen. Ted Cruz called Monday for amending the U.S. Constitution to prevent either the federal government or the U.S. Supreme Court from overturning a state's ban on same-sex marriage.\nby Aman Batheja Oct. 6, 2014 3 PM\nU.S. Sen. Ted Cruz in an interview with The Washington Post's Dan Balz at The Texas Tribune Festival on Sept. 20, 2014. Bob Daemmrich\nHours after the U.S. Supreme Court paved the way for same-sex marriage bans to be lifted in five states, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz called Monday for amending the U.S. Constitution to prevent either the federal government or the U.S. Supreme Court from overturning a state's ban on same-sex marriage.\nCruz announced his plans in a statement Monday in response to the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to let stand appeals court rulings allowing same-sex marriages in Indiana, Oklahoma, Utah, Virginia and Wisconsin. Cruz called the court's decision to let those rulings stand \"tragic and indefensible\" and expressed concern that it would lead to the overturning of same-sex marriage bans in every state.\nLike other statewide Republican officials in Texas, Cruz has been an ardent defender of the state's same-sex marriage ban, which was approved by Texas voters as an amendment to the Texas Constitution in 2005. The Texas ban was ruled unconstitutional by a U.S. District Judge in February. The state immediately appealed that ruling to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals.\n\"When Congress returns to session, I will be introducing a constitutional amendment to prevent the federal government or the courts from attacking or striking down state marriage laws,\" Cruz said. \u201cTraditional marriage is an institution whose integrity and vitality are critical to the health of any society. We should remain faithful to our moral heritage and never hesitate to defend it.\u201d",

Now the Lions.\nO'Mahony in Rotorua after being named captain. Source: Billy Stickland/INPHO\nIt\u2019s evident why other players follow O\u2019Mahony on the pitch, with his passion and spirit standing out even if they are hard to quantify. Warren Gatland handing the Cork man the Lions\u2019 captaincy for Saturday\u2019s meeting with the M\u0101ori All Blacks was no great surprise.\nBut the man himself puts this remarkable streak of captaining essentially every team he has played for since U12s down to a bit of fortune here and there.\n\u201cSometimes guys get, not pigeon-holed, but you get picked as captain as a young fella in schools teams and naturally you might fall into a few teams\u2026 look, I\u2019ve been very lucky with the teams that I\u2019ve been part of growing up.\n\u201cThey\u2019ve been successful, guys around me have been successful and the amount of people I\u2019ve learnt off \u2013 not just the captains who I\u2019ve been involved with, but the other players I\u2019ve been around as well.\n\u201cThe amount of learning I\u2019ve taken from them is huge, you\u2019d hope you\u2019ve picked up a couple of things that they\u2019ve helped you with and brought them through as well.\u201d\nThe great Paul O\u2019Connell was \u201chugely influential\u201d on O\u2019Mahony\u2019s career, but he points also to Brian O\u2019Driscoll, David Wallace and Anthony Foley.\n\u201cIt\u2019s a way maybe of paying them back for the hard work they put into me,\u201d says O\u2019Mahony of his latest honour.\nThat O\u2019Mahony is on this tour at all is an indicator of his resilience and grit. He spent a year out of the game after rupturing his ACL at the 2015 World Cup and though he returned with Munster earlier this season, he had frustrations along the way.\nO'Mahony was excellent against the Crusaders. Source: Billy Stickland/INPHO\nHe recalls bumping into O\u2019Connell in a corridor of Munster\u2019s high performance centre in UL at the start of this year\u2019s Six Nations, when a hamstring injury had ruled O\u2019Mahony out of the opening two games of the tournament.\nHe was frustrated, eager to represent his country, but also understanding that not playing for Ireland would affect his Lions chances. O\u2019Connell offered some calming words.\n\u201cHe said to keep the head down, keep tipping away, that there was big games coming up in Europe [with Munster].\n\u201cHe said he [Gatland] would watch them, so keep the head down and keep battling away, worry about the next weekend and performing for whoever you\u2019re playing for.\u201d\nFortunately for O\u2019Mahony, he got his opportunity earlier that that, regaining fitness to be named on Ireland\u2019s bench for the closing fixture of the tournament at home against England.\nEven still, the Lions was out of the picture.\n\u201cI didn\u2019t think I was going I was going to get picked for the Lions, I didn\u2019t think I had played enough rugby before then.\u201d\nBut Jamie Heaslip\u2019s back injury flared up in the warm-up and suddenly O\u2019Mahony was pitched into the starting team. He proceeded to unleash every ounce of his frustration on Eddie Jones\u2019 side, leading the attack on their lineout and leading his team-mates around the pitch.\nO'Mahony with his daughter Indie. Source: Inpho/Billy Stickland\nThe story is that Gatland was watching that contest and made up his mind about O\u2019Mahony there and then, but the blindside flanker doesn\u2019t see his Lions involvement as being about one performance.\n\u201cI have put a lot of hard work into my career and you have got to take your opportunities when they come,\u201d says O\u2019Mahony. \u201cSometimes they are unfortunate for other guys but it doesn\u2019t matter, you have to be selfish.\n\u201cI use that word\u2026 it is not a selfish game but sometimes you have to play well when you need to play well and that day I played alright. It wasn\u2019t just that day; I would like to say I have played some good games for Munster as well this season.\n\u201cI went through a lot \u2013 even the days when we lost, you have got to take your lessons. It wasn\u2019t just that day, there was a lot of hard work going into that, not just over the last 12 months but the last few years.\n\u201cNot that I was ever meant to be here but I have worked hard and all the 41 guys who have been picked have worked hard, so I can\u2019t just say it was one day.\u201d\nO\u2019Mahony is now happily ensconced in the Lions set-up and his first start against the Crusaders last weekend couldn\u2019t have gone much better as he stole a lineout, offered nice handling skills and thundered into contact when required.\nOff the pitch, it has been a new experience for him leaving his one-year-old daughter Indie at home.\n\u201cYeah, it\u2019s difficult, my first time being away for a long period from Indie, but the flip side is you\u2019re touring with the Lions and it doesn\u2019t happen very often.\nO'Mahony is set for his first match as Lions captain. Source: Billy Stickland/INPHO\n\u201cThere\u2019s only 800-odd fellas who\u2019ve ever been capped for the Lions so it\u2019s a special time. It is difficult in one aspect but I\u2019m loving every minute of it really.\u201d\nAnd as he gets set to follow in his mentor O\u2019Connell\u2019s footsteps, Lions coach Warren Gatland is expecting O\u2019Mahony to bring something the former Munster lock also brought as captain. A certain Munster spirit.\n\u201cIt\u2019s not something that you can quantify about what Munster bring to a game,\u201d says Gatland. \u201cIt\u2019s a special pride, sometimes the performances they can produce, it\u2019s done consistently over the years.\n\u201cBeing able to dig deep and bring performances from places where a lot of players individually or teams collectively often can\u2019t do.\n\u201cThat\u2019s Munster never giving up and playing for each other and that\u2019s what you\u2019re looking for. I think that\u2019s what Peter will bring to the team on Saturday.\u201d\nSteve Hansen says Gatland will call extra players into his Lions squad\nSexton has \u2018his mojo back\u2019 as Gatland keeps Farrell card close to chest\n<iframe width=\"600\" height=\"460\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:0px;\" src=\"https://www.the42.ie/http://www.the42.ie/omahony-lions-captain-oconnell-3445523-Jun2017/?embedpost=3445523&width=600&height=460\" ></iframe>\nEmail \u201cO'Mahony follows in mentor O'Connell's footsteps to captain the Lions\u201d.\nFeedback on \u201cO'Mahony follows in mentor O'Connell's footsteps to captain the Lions\u201d.\nO'Mahony follows in mentor O'Connell's footsteps to captain the Lions Comments",

        "raw_content": "NHL approves expansion to Seattle; league's 32nd team will begin play in 2021-22\nSEA ISLAND, Ga. \u2014 Seattle's NHL dream is finally a reality.\nNHL commissioner Gary Bettman confirmed hockey's worst-kept secret Tuesday, announcing the league will expand to Seattle at a packed news conference.\nThe NHL's 32nd team, which was unanimously approved in a vote by the board of governors, will begin play in 2021-22 at a renovated and renamed KeyArena.\nSeattle's ownership group led by billionaire David Bonderman and a number of minority partners, including Hollywood producer Jerry Bruckheimer, is paying US$650 million to join the exclusive club.\n\"The league's expansion decision was only made possible because Seattle will possess the three pillars essential to the success of any franchise: terrific, committed ownership, a thriving market and a state-of-the-art venue,\" Bettman said.\nIt was initially hoped the team would begin play in 2020, but concerns from the NHL that the franchise's home \u2014 which will be known as Seattle Center Arena \u2014 won't be ready in time pushed the start date back 12 months.\n\"I have business cards I'm going to have to toss out that say Seattle 2020,\" joked team president and CEO Tod Leiweke, who said he expects the venue open in March or April 2021. \"Waiting a little longer seemed to make a lot of sense and we ultimately agreed with the league.\"\nSeattle's expansion fee is $150 million more than what the Vegas Golden Knights paid when they joined the NHL in 2016.\n\"I never talk about personal finances,\" Bonderman said of the price tag. \"But this is a few bits of change which aren't around anymore.\"\n\"I remember sharing with Gary Bettman years ago that I thought Seattle could be an incredible market for the NHL,\" Leiweke said. \"It's now up to us to deliver the championship team these fans deserve.\"\nSeattle will play in the Pacific Division, meaning the Arizona Coyotes will move to the Central. The league's most recent addition gives the NHL an even 16 franchises in the Eastern and Western conferences and will provide the Vancouver Canucks a natural geographic rival.\n\"I don't want to stoke the flames here because those guys are my friends, but bring it on, we can't wait,\" Leiweke said. \"That might be the one night I walk into the locker-room and say to the boys, 'Give it a little more tonight.'\"\nViewed as a slam dunk ahead of the vote at this posh resort on Georgia's coast, expansion to Seattle \u2014 the largest U.S. market without an NHL or NBA team prior to today's announcement \u2014 required 75 per cent approval, in this case a thumbs up from 24 of 31 owners, to pass.\n\"I never felt it was preordained,\" Leiweke cautioned. \"This has been a real journey that's had challenges.\n\"It's not been for the faint of heart.\"\n\"I love Seattle,\" Bonderman said. \"I went to school (there) ... I worked on the Space Needle in 1962. So what goes around comes around.\n\"If it was someplace else, I wouldn't have done it.\"\nThe NHL board's nine-member executive committee recommended proceeding with the expansion application in October after a presentation that included Bonderman, Bruckheimer and Leiweke.\nBruckheimer said the arena was always the main issue for the league when it came to Seattle's start date, not the potential for another NHL work stoppage \u2014 a third since 2004-05 \u2014 that could come in the fall of 2020.\n\"They've always felt that we should have a little more time to build the arena right,\" Bruckheimer said. \"We wanted to bring it to 2020-21 because we want to get going right away.\n\"But it's not fair to the fans or to the players to not have a 100-per-cent finished arena when we start.\"\nThe only winter professional sports franchise in the city, Seattle's hockey team joins a crowded landscape that includes the NFL's Seahawks, MLB's Mariners and the Sounders of Major League Soccer.\nKeyArena, which was home to the NBA's SuperSonics before they moved to Oklahoma City in 2008, is primed to undergo a massive $800-million renovation, up from the previously stated $700 million.\nOak View Group, which will redevelop and manage the facility, is run by Leiweke's brother Tim, who used to head Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment in Toronto.\nA ground-breaking ceremony at KeyArena is scheduled for Wednesday and there are also plans for a $70-million practice facility in the Seattle's north end.\nAfter the NHL said it would consider the potential ownership group's expansion application at this time last year, a season-ticket drive to gauge interest resulted in a jaw-dropping 32,000 deposits in one day, including 10,000 purchased in the first 12 minutes.\n\"I'm holding in a lot of emotions,\" Leiweke said. \"I think about the fans. I woke up today thinking about the fans.\n\"Today is a great day for the fans and we owe them so much. That's why today happened.\"",

        "raw_content": "Loveland woman, now Larimer Fair & Rodeo Queen, always had sights set on top honors\nLaynie Kay and Lillie Parker are the only two related Larimer County Fair & Rodeo queens.\nThe Royalty Program is 65 years old.\nAs royalty, Laynie Kay Parker will receive a $2,000 scholarship at her reign\u2019s end.\nNearly every little girl dreams of being a princess. Laynie Kay Parker's aspirations were higher. She wanted to be a queen.\nThe 19-year-old Loveland, Colo., woman was surrounded by royalty on her way to the Larimer County Fair & Rodeo. Her AQHA-registered bay gelding is called Duke. Her now 23-year old sister, Lillie, served as Larimer Fair & Rodeo Queen several years ago.\nBut unlike her Duke, Parker had to earn her crown, which she did in 2014. The trail to the throne was intense. She began riding around age 2, when her grandfather, Ed Wilkens, held her with him in the saddle. Her mother, Letricia, grew up herding cattle and freely riding around their Utah cattle ranch.\nParker's 21-year-old sister, Lyndie, is also an accomplished horsewoman. All three girls grew up owning horses and taking lessons with a trainer. Parker has ridden both English and Western in 4-H. She got Duke three years ago and competes with him in AQHA and RMQHA reining classes. Her other horse is registered as The Pepsi Kid. They call him Pepsi because he was bottle-raised from a 2-liter Pepsi bottle.\nIn July 2014, Parker tried out for the Larimer County Fair & Rodeo Royalty program. Girls who will be ages 16-21 by the end of their reign and who own or lease a horse qualify.\nThe process began with an application, which is used for a background check and screening by the royalty board and three judges. They look at grades, community and 4-H involvement and other criteria used to determine fitness for the position. Parker made it through this step.\nThe next step in the royalty process is a meeting between the applicant and the Royalty Program Chairman. Then came the Larimer County Fair Parade, always held during the last week of July. At this event, competitors make their first appearance as contestants, riding horseback through a parade. They must be able to control their horses in stressful situations. Having a calm animal is a definite plus.\nWhen it was Parker's turn to ride through, kids were blowing bubbles. Duke ended up sneezing soap after walking through the wall of glossy foam. The horse also had to endure jingling harnesses, screaming children, motorcycles and airborne candy.\nThree anonymous judges were in the crowd, watching Parker and Duke. Their job was to gauge how the royalty contestants interacted with the public and how their horses behaved.\nThe same day as the parade, contestants were assigned a speech topic. They had one week to prepare and memorize their speech, which could be up to three minutes.\nParker and her competitors each picked a U.S. founding father and explained what he did for the country. She picked John Jay.\nThe next step of the process was a written test of about 30 questions. The test is used to determine contestants' knowledge of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association's rules and regulations, 4-H, equine knowledge, fair and royalty boards, the Larimer County commissioners and the U.S. president and vice president.\nAfter the test, the contestants gave their speeches. They couldn't use note cards or any other prompts. Each had been assigned a number and appeared in that order. Next, each girl was presented with an impromptu and individualized question. For Parker, it was a political one. A mock media interview followed.\n\"This is a great opportunity to demonstrate your knowledge and how quick you are on your feet,\" Parker said. \"I really liked this part.\"\nA member of the royalty board quizzed each girl, asking her to introduce herself, state her goals, explain what goes on at Fair and what she sought to accomplish as royalty.\n\"They want to see how you'll do promoting the Fair and Rodeo to actual media and if you have the correct knowledge to do so,\" Parker said.\nThen, there's a one-on-three personal interview with the judging panel. It's the only personal time spent with them, and without competitors or the public, which she said was nervewracking.\nFor the next part of the event, the contestants led their ungroomed animals into the Budweiser Events Center Arena. A male family member traditionally serves as their assistant, carrying in grooming equipment and tack.\nEach girl then groomed her horse, saddled and warmed up, and then performed an identical reining pattern. Parker said she and each of her competitors had to ride straight to the judges afterward to answer equestrian questions. She then made a flag run to demonstrate how her horse accepted the flapping material streaming alongside him and how she could properly handle the flag. She concluded her performance with a queen's wave.\nAfter each contestant led her horse to its trailer, they came back to the arena to await the judges' decision on who was 1st Runner-Up and who was Queen of the Larimer County Fair & Rodeo for 2014-2016. The crowning ceremony always takes place at the Tuesday night rodeo.\nThe coveted crown landed on Parker's head.\nDuring her 2-year reign, Parker has attended a plethora of events, at which she has acted as ambassador for the sport of rodeo, 4-H and the Western way of life. Some of her stops have included the Larimer County Fair & Rodeo, Jefferson County Fair & Rodeo, National Western Stock Show, Cheyenne Frontier Days, sponsor events, parades and rodeos and more.\nAt all events, royalty must wear specific attire designated by handbook guidelines. For example, her hair must be curled and she must wear a cowboy hat and crown, her banner, belt buckle and event-specific clothing.\n\"We are like a marketing tool,\" Parker said. \"People like to approach us because we have crowns on and they want to know why.\"\nParker's reign will end at the 2016 Larimer County Fair & Rodeo. Her successor will serve as lady-in-waiting until the fair's end.\n\"I've had the time of my life during my reign,\" she said with a smile. \"It's been a great opportunity to represent the fair and rodeo I grew up in. I encourage any young lady wishing to promote the Larimer County Fair & Rodeo to go to http://www.larimercountyfair.org for further information, or contact me on Facebook.\"\nWorking toward an associate's in political science, Parker intends to pursue a career in some branch of the law but will always continue riding.\n\"I don't know what I'd do without horses,\" she said.\u2756",

        "raw_content": "Faster Internet Now\nView the Study Findings\n130 Miles of Broadband\nNo Taxpayer Funding Required\nAre We Ready for the 21st Century?\nThe Stark County Broadband Task Team is a group of the willing; a team of interested volunteers that represent small and large employeers, non-profits and governments. Since 2014 we have been studying what possiblities higher-speed broadband might bring to our community.\nWhy broadband? Why now? A common thread among our team members and the interests we represent is the dissatisfaction with the status-quo. Greater Stark County is falling behind its peers in Ohio and elsewhere in the United States in terms of educational attainment, household income, retention of high-school graduates and overall prosperity.\nHistory would suggest that by looking at previous adoption cycles like the electrication of the United States, those communities that make prudent investments in emerging utilities can reap large benefits.\nUnarguably the Internet has become an essential component of everyday life / work and is no longer considered a luxury. Due to history, regulations and industry behavior, the United States is woefully behind other industrial nations in terms of broadband speeds, capacity and access. Providing a competitive broadband marketplace with the minimum of 1 gigabit per second to our residential neighbors and businesses will provide our community with an invaluable asset that is an essential feedstock for 21st century innovation.\nSome Things We Believe In\nUnless we change the aspirations of our communities to not just compete but to win, we will lose our most gifted\nThe rise of the app economy and the massive leveraging of cloud computing has put a greater emphasis on persistent, ubiquitous high-speed networks\nThe Internet will eventually consume all other forms of communication. The four dimensions of service will be availability, price, reliability and speed.\nArtificial intelligence and robotics will supplement human labor and increase the rate of structural change in the world economy\nEmployment growth will be in work that is done at a distance\nCommunities without Internet choice will not prosper\nBroadband is the fourth utility; We think of it as an opportunity for our community to go forth and prosper, hence the forth utility\nOlder, Poorer, Fewer\n2000 to 2013 - A Clarion Signal for Change\nUsing data from the US Census Bureau for the period of 2000 to 2013, Stark County area has three apparent trends that go beyond troublesome. These are trends that must be addressed or the quality of life in this community will be futher impacted to point of marginization and community institutions as we know them will be diminished in capacity, reach and aspiration.\nIn the period between 2000 and 2013, the percentage of the population of Stark County residents (over the age of 65) rose from 15.1% to 16.6% a rise of nearly 10%. In comparison, Summit County to our north has only 14% of their population over the age of 65.\nThis is not to indicate that our seniors are bad, but rather we have been unable to retain the approximate 2000 high school seniors that graduate each year.\n9.9% Rise in Population over Age 65\nPercentage of Stark County at or older than 65\n65% Rise in Poverty Population\nPopulation at or below Federal Poverty Level\nPoverty levels during the same time period rose dramatically. Between 2000 and 2013, the percentage of those living in Stark County rose by 63% to a new high of 15% of our population.\nThis trend has put unprecedented strains on our assistance networks. Social agencies, institutions and faith-centered groups are all doing more with less. Stark County has been unable to attract additional population to offset this breathtaking rise of need.\nLast, our population growth in this time period was negative. While a drop from 378,000 to 374,000 might seem flat for this period, the United States grew by 13% in the same time period. In comparison to the average growth in the United States, we lost ground by 14%.\n1% Decline in Population of Stark County 2000-2013\nStark County Population\nA Case for Broadband\nBroadband as a Utility\nWhat Constitutes a Utility?\nRecognizing the economic need for a secure, clean and reliable source of drinking water, the Romans built their first aqueduct to Rome in the third century BC. Over the course of the next 700 years, Rome grew to be the largest city in the known world, with unprecedented wealth, attainment and prosperity.\nSince that time Rome has served as a lesson in the power of infrastructure as an economic driver. Water and sewage processing, electrical power delivery and telecommunications are all recognized as essential utilities that give us the platform to participate in an industrialized society to our full potential.\nUtilities also deliver service to a physical location. Enormous value can be created by changing the utility of a piece of land to that of something that has a higher and better use. During the last quarter century, the Stark County Metropolitan Sewer System expanded to over 700 miles increasing property values as fallow land was developed and sold as improved. Broadband has the same opportunity to add value to existing assets at a marginal cost. Instead of sewer coming to farmland, perhaps the greatest increase in value might lie in high-speed broadband coming to existing, under utilized buildings and neighborhoods.\nUtilities themselves have the characteristics of operating at scale, with high redundancy and service components that allow the delivery of proscribed product at a distance. At this time inexpensive, reliable, gigabit fiber broadband is in scarce supply. A utility infrastructure would be able to provide broadband to underserved areas and to create a competitive marketplace by aggregating existing demand.\nIn 2015 the FCC moved to change the classification of Internet Service Providers (ISP's) to that of a Title II Utility under the oversight of the FCC. This re-classification is currently wending its way through various court challenges, but in June 2016, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled in favor the FCC. Stating the following in the majority opinion, \"Over the past two decades, this content has transformed nearly every aspect of our lives, from profound actions like choosing a leader, building a career, and falling in love to more quotidian ones like hailing a cab and watching a movie,\" the judges said. Paraphrasing futher, the judges maintained that when something like the Internet stops being a luxury, then it becomes a utility.\nBroadband in Ohio\nAverage Download Speeds\nPennsylvania 29.3Mbps\nMichigan 28.4Mbps\nWest Virginia 25.4Mbps\nIndiana 24.2Mbps\nOhio 18.4Mbps\nKentucky 15.9Mbps\nAs of last year, the FCC's new standard of broadband is 25 megabits per second download, and 3 megabits per second upload. Sadly, the average speed of Internet service in Ohio does not yet meet the Federal standard of broadband. In fact, Ohio ranks fifth out of the six states that touch its borders.\nOf the top 100 communities in Ohio, Canton and Alliance rank 64th and 65th in terms of download speeds according the the last available report from Connect Ohio.\nThe Calling Card of Better Communities\nAccording to a Wall Street Journal article from June 30, 2015, Colorado State University has estimated that the availability of high-speed broadband can increase the price of homes by over 3%. This is equivalent of added a bathroom or fireplace to a $175,000 home.\nMuch of this sought-after value is the result of the growth of home-based businesses. According to Mary Meeker, the noted Internet analyst with KPCB, over 34% of the American workforce are now freelancers who identifiy the Internet was where they seek, receive and submit their work, most often from home. The largest percentage of the on-demand workforce are the Millienals (age group of 21 to 33), who represent 44%, followed the Gen-X's at 32% (age group of 34 to 49).\nTraditional vs Freelance\nReason for Lack of Broadband Connection\nAccording to a recent Pew Research study regarding home broadband, fully two-thirds (69%) of Americans consider not having a home high-speed internet connection would be a major disadvantage to finding a job, getting health information or accessing other key information \u2013 up from 56% who said this in 2010.\nOne third of those who do not have a broadband connection cited cost as their primary reason. This has become more acute as smartphone ownership has gone up and many households can ill-afford two data plans, even though in practice, over 80% of the data viewed on a smartphone comes from a Wi-Fi Connection.\nProtecting Local Economic Interests\nFirst Street Light, 105th and Euclid, 1914\nThe first traffic light in existance was installed at the intersection of 105th and Euclid Aveue in Cleveland Ohio in 1914, the same year that Cleveland Muni Light was opened. Muni Light was created as a competive countermeasure to the monopoloy of the Cleveland Electric Illuminating Company (CEI).\nIn 1914, Muni Light had such excess capacity that street lights and the then novel traffic signals were installed to help use the excess capacity. Muni Light's rates were so dramically cheaper than CEI's that it allowed Cleveland to surge ahead as an industrial powerhouse and lead to the rapid industrialization of the area between East 17th and East 120th. In fact street car fares stayed at 3 cents per ride until 1957.\nSugercreek Filtration and Pumping Plant for Canton City Water Department\nAlso in 1957, the city of Canton embarked on another example of protecting regional interests. In that year, the City of Canton borrowed $7.6 Million to purchase land and build a water distribution system, piping water from Sugercreek Ohio to Canton over 20 miles away. This would more than double the capacity of Canton's water supply and insure that the rapid growth of the local steel industry would not be diminished. This bold move would cost over $63 Million in today's dollars. The Canton Water Department has since then gone on to service customers not only in Canton, but in the surrounding townships providing tens of thousands with clean, abundant, reasonably priced water.\nSeveral Ohio communities have moved ahead with their own broadband plans. Hudson, Ohio is rapidly installing their own fiber-optic 1 gigabit network. Started just last year, Hudson is now expecting to complete their network in 2-1/2 years versus the projected 5 years due to strong demand. Currently Hudson is experiencing an 80% conversion rate wherever they provide new service.\nFairlawn Ohio has also started their network the spring of 2016 and you can check on its progress here. Fairlawn's municipal broadband system, FairlawnGig, will be a fiber and public wifi open network able to carry other service providers. It was made possible by a $10 million bond issue by the Summit County Development Authority.\nA Tool for the Everyone\nThe appeal of broadband as an economic driver is hard to dismiss. We can think of very few (if any) regional initiatives that could have such a far-reaching effect for residents, businesses, governments and non-profits.\nWhile not every resident would need or appreciate gigabit speeds, they would appreciate less predatory pricing and obfuscated marketing bundles and a more competitive marketplace. Also, more of their dollars could be spent on the delivery of services, rather than on tax abatement or unreasonably costly Internet service borne by their local government, hospitals and small businesses.\nStark County area businesses that are currently paying 24 times the going rate for gigabit services found in more competitive markets, could be more profitable and more inclined to add state-of-the-art digital services, expanding their reach and scope.\nLast, and perhaps the most fundamental of advantages, is one of communicating aspirations. Rarely does a community have the ability to speak out to its citizens, young and old, and tell them in no uncertain terms that we want you to stay, we want you to prosper, we will give you the tools to discover new worlds.\nA Forth Utility\nWhat Could A System Look Like?\nInternet Service as a Title II Utility\nDuring 2015 the FCC reclassified Internet service as a Title II utility. This was done to give the FCC the proper authority to regulate Internet service in the United States and oversee Net Neutrality rules that would protect consumers and content providers from various carrier practices.\nAs both wireless data and Internet service migrated from the unregulated to the regulated, the FCC did not impose heavy regulation on these new utility-class services. Rather the FCC characterizes the regulations on these services as light, but important new rules apply.\nOf all of the new rules, the most important for aspiring broadband suppliers is that pole rights and other public right-of-ways are now non-exclusive. Heretofore Internet service providers (ISP) would have to negotiate with right-of-way owners and could be excluded out-of-hand.\nIn the FCC's view, Internet services like wireless data and broadband will eventually subsume cable TV and landline phone service, and these new classifications and regulations are levers to move this along faster. Since right-of-ways are now open to any new entrant ISP, this is a sea change opportunity.\nPublicly owned Internet providers were traditional municipalities who could co-op right-of-ways to their own use by using local ordinances. This was an effective way for cities to affordably build their own ISP by overlaying on top of existing utility infrastructure. Now with the new FCC classifications, new entrant ISP's have the right-of-way infrastructure available to them via traditional utility rental tariffs. This means that the areas that lie outside of cities, suburbia if you will, is now open to the land rush of broadband choice.\nStark County - Supply Meets Demand\nStark County lies conveniently between the metropolitan areas of Chicago and New York. As such Northeastern Ohio is rich in fiber assets that are high-capacity, high-speed and wholesale in nature. The economic opportunity of any entity offering gigabit broadband to our area is to aggregate enough demand to be able take advantage of the wholesale market. Ideally, this entity aka broad utility would be able to choose between multiple suppliers at any time and create a marketplace of suppliers to service that demand.\nFacilities that house these types of switches are called carrier hotels and beyond just offering greater choice, they can deliver unique and regional value.\nA carrier hotel location could also offer local co-hosting of equipment that is owned by larger customers. This would be important to large customer, if such a large customer might experience large swings in bandwidth required, due to seasonal demand in their business cycle, the introduction of new products and services, and the desire to have a scalable on-line presence.\nMuch of Stark County's population and commercial activity takes place along the North - South Whipple corridor. Just 11 miles as the crow flies from Faircrest Street SW to the Akron-Canton Airport, this corridor has the ability to aggregate the demand from many of our largest employers, shopping centers, tourist attractions, office parks, cities and subdivisions. A loop architecture could be employed to not only address redundancy issues, but to encompass more territory.\nOne of the findings the Task Team has found in previous broadband initiative failures were overly ambitious build-out plans based upon flawed assumptions and a lack of subscribers per mile. By addressing this dense corridor first, a network could capture the densest subscribers per mile in the county, before addressing additional phases to provide service to other regions.\nUsing a deliberate, phased approach will help mitigate risk of large capital costs vs subscriber take-up rates as well as the possiblity of disruptive technology change.\nSteps We Have Taken\nThe Stark County Broadband Task Team has been advocating our stance on broadband to a number of public forums over the last two years, as well as meeting with our elected officials, developers, foundations, businesses and other important stakeholders.\nWe are extremely grateful to the feedback, time and consideration these groups have given us and helped us shape our message. If you would like to us to deliver this message to your group or meet up with us in person, please use our Contact Us link.\nStark County Resolution\nIn December 2015, the Stark County Commissioners voted unanimously to adopt a resolution supporting the exploration of a regional effort encouraging appropriate stakeholders to collaborate on widely available and affordable high-speed connectivity and to explore an asset holding legal entity that can work in concert with private and public stakeholders.\nJackson Township Resolution\nOn April 26th, 2016, the trustees of Jackson Township unanimously voted to adopt a similar resolution to that of Stark County, after a brief presentation.\nCity of Canton Resolution\nOn May 23rd, 2016, the city council of Canton, Ohio unanimously voted to adopt a similar resolution to that of Stark County, after a brief presentation.\nPlain Township Resolution\nOn June 14th, 2016, the trustees of Plain Township unanimously voted to adopt a similar resolution to that of Stark County, after a brief presentation.\nCITY OF Alliance\nOn September 19th, 2016 the city council of Alliance, Ohio entertained a representative of the Stark County Broadband Task Team and unanimously passed a resolution of support of their endeavors.\nCity of North Canton\nOn June 27th, 2016 the city council of North Canton, Ohio entertained a representative of the Stark County Broadband Task Team and listened to a brief presentation. On October 10th, the council passed a resolution endorsing the work of the team.\nPlease see our Study section regarding the feasibility study that was conducted by Magellan Advisors on behalf the Broadband Task Team.

        "raw_content": "Globe Advisor Build a quality portfolio \u2013 don\u2019t change it based on the headlines\nNational flags of the United States, Canada and Mexico fly in New Orleans. On Oct. 17, the three countries agreed to extend NAFTA negotiations into the first quarter of 2018, citing \u2018significant conceptual gaps.\u2019\nJudi Bottoni/The Canadian Press\nAs negotiations over NAFTA and other trade deals slog on, it's best to take it easy when it comes to adjusting your investments.\nJust as it's usually impossible to time the market, experts consider it unwise to base major portfolio decisions now on the outcome of Canada's talks over the North American free-trade agreement and other significant trade relationships.\n\"Too much investment news is sometimes referred to as investment porn. Too much of it gets the emotions flowing,\" says Sandra Foster, president of Headspring Consulting Inc. and a Toronto-based financial author and advisor.\nIt's no secret that NAFTA negotiations between Canada, the United States and Mexico have not been going well. On Oct. 17, the three countries agreed to extend negotiations into the first quarter of 2018, citing \"significant conceptual gaps.\"\nJust how significant those differences are remains to be seen. What happens early next year in the negotiations is as hard to predict as the contents of U.S. President Donald Trump's next tweet.\nBy agreeing to extend the negotiations, it means the president \"wasn't ready to pull out, and neither were the other two countries,\" says Bernard Wolf, professor emeritus of economics and international business at York University's Schulich School of Business in Toronto.\n\"But given his protectionist stance and all that he said [about NAFTA] during his 2016 election campaign, it's difficult to determine what he's going to do.\"\nIt's not only NAFTA and Mr. Trump's mood swings that are creating uncertainty over the composition of portfolios. Nearly a year and a half after British voters opted narrowly to leave the European Union, negotiations over Brexit are mired in procedural detail.\nThere's a difference of opinion on both sides over whether Britain can \u2013 or should \u2013 go for a \"hard\" Brexit (simply leave the EU) or transition toward a less close trade relationship with Europe after Britain leaves in 2019.\nIn Asia, Canada, Japan and other countries are attempting to salvage the remnants of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), a free trade agreement negotiated between 12 nations and signed in 2016.\nMake that 11 nations now \u2013 Mr. Trump quickly withdrew his country from the TPP, leaving the deal's future and its possible effectiveness without the United States uncertain.\nWhen it comes to investors whose portfolios are weighted heavily in North American holdings, it may be tempting to consider going short on stocks that rely on continent-wide trade and supply chains, for example auto-parts manufacturers, cross-border transportation and logistics firms and agricultural suppliers.\nBut that's probably not wise, says Markus Muhs, portfolio manager at Canaccord Genuity Wealth Management in Edmonton.\n\"For long-term investors, the less they pay attention to the news, the better. Over the long term, a globally diversified portfolio of stocks trends upward, with only temporary setbacks along the way,\" he says.\n\"That long-term growth rate averages out to a pretty decent number. Along with a disciplined savings strategy, it will facilitate a good, dignified retirement for most of us.\"\nIt's true that portfolios could be affected if NAFTA collapses or a new deal is struck that brings new and significant setbacks to particular sectors \u2013 in any of the three countries.\n\"NAFTA has been the cornerstone for strong economic growth and rising prosperity for Canada, the United States and Mexico since 1994. The U.S. remains Canada's No. 1 trading partner, with Canada's key exports being oil and automotive vehicles,\" says Neville Joanes, chief investment officer at WealthBar Financial Services Inc., a robo-advisor service headquartered in Vancouver.\nAn \"imbalanced\" trade deal \"will be to the detriment of Canada and Mexico, and will impact currency, relative interest rates and economic growth,\" he says. The difficulty is that no one knows yet what kinds of imbalances might materialize, or indeed, whether they will materialize at all.\n\"History has shown, time and again, that investors who have patience do vastly better than those who actively trade,\" says Andrea Thompson, senior financial planner at Coleman Wealth, Raymond James Ltd. in Toronto.\n\"Once you build a quality portfolio that suits your plan, you shouldn't change it based on the headlines. The portfolio should really only change when your plan changes.\"\nIf you really feel you must tinker with your portfolio, Ms. Foster of Headspring Consulting Inc. suggests, you should err on the side of caution, lowering your exposure to risk.\n\"When the market itself becomes riskier, some investors rebalance their equity holdings to the lower end of their recommended range. For example, if the recommended range for equity holdings is 30 to 40 per cent of their portfolio, the investor might decide to reduce equity holdings to 30 per cent,\" she says.\nAt WealthBar, Mr. Joanes suggests being patient and watchful.\n\"We will monitor the [NAFTA] negotiations and await the outcome. Then we'll evaluate changes to portfolios,\" he says.\nWhile the largest breaches have received the most attention, small businesses, including financial advisory firms, are at the most risk.\nAre you sleepwalking to the next market meltdown?\nTake the wheel of your financial car, new book advises",

Like many kids with artistic ability, he was inspired by comic books, but didn\u2019t choose that path as an artist. He explains, \u201cI was always good at working off of an image, so I guess you might say my mother inspired me, because she sat me down one day and has me redraw a cartoon drawing, and I found I could do it, and that was so much fun for me. Later on that has worked well, because I redraw images of my favorite Icons, and collage in the details.\u201d\nBugazzi started as a photographer out of college, then later used collage\u2026adding additional media to his work such as magazine clips to create pop works of art, such as his well-known Marilyn Monroe series. He has created a niche for his art and was recently asked to exhibit the collaboration work he created with Karen Bystedt and The Lost Warhols at Context Art Fair at Miami Art Week (December 2018), and at the LA Art Show this past January 2019. He continues to shoot photography, all the while creating one-of-a-kind artworks paying homage to pop sensations such as Madonna, Queen Latifah, and Michael Jackson\u2026just to name a few.\nOne such work is entitled Frida Rising. This piece is inspired by the struggles of Frida, and the beauty of her and her work, and what she was able to accomplish given her circumstances in life,\u201d explained the artist. He is excited about showing his work at the upcoming Art in LA Affair on February 13th through February 17th. The annual art fair is presented by AC Gallery, in partnership with Artsy. The opening night gala offers an open bar, appetizers and live music in the sculpture garden. A new interactive series will be featured at the art fair. Bugazzi has created it so that people can participate and take selfies.\nHe will also be participating in the Superfine! Art show which runs from February 15th to the 17th. As an artist he loves the challenge of a creating a new commission\u2026Bugazzi added, \u201cI am currently working on an artwork of the City Scape of Dallas for a Venture Capital firm in Dallas Texas. I will be presenting it there in person for the grand opening of the office.\u201d\nMeet Brayden Bugazzi at the Art in LA Affair on February 13th through February 17th at AC Gallery located at 1546 N.

In this case the distinctive surname, Grevis James, identifies the owner with some certainty as Demetrius Grevis James, 1776-1861, of Ightham Court, Kent, establishing that the shirt was worn by a middle-aged man of good social standing. As a captain in the Royal Marines Grevis James served with the victorious Horatio Nelson at the Battle of Copenhagen in 1801, later becoming a magistrate and Deputy Lieutenant of Kent, and, in 1833, High Sheriff of the county where he was responsible for the redistribution of parliamentary constituencies following the Great Reform Act of 1832.\nNo doubt a man of conservative taste in clothes, Grevis James\u2019 shirt is of a style little changed from the previous century. Made, probably at home, of fine quality linen as would befit his status, the cut of the body and sleeves is straight and full, based on rectangles to make best use of the cloth. Minimal shaping is provided by square gussets, folded diagonally on each side of the collar and at the armholes. The shirt is reinforced against wear and laundering at the shoulders, armholes, base of the front opening and top of the slit at each side seam. The high collar, which has a sliver cut out at the back to accommodate the base of the head, and the cuffs are fastened with thread covered Dorset buttons.",

        "title": "Panetta: No War With Iran | The Nation",
        "raw_content": "Panetta: No War With Iran\nObama administration lowers temperature over Iran nuclear issue, and it loses its top Middle East hawk.\nSince the less-than-bombshell release of the International Atomic Energy Agency report on Iran this week, the Obama administration has, to its credit, refused to rattle its sabers. That isn\u2019t the reason, I presume, that hawkish Middle East advisor Dennis Ross is quitting and going back to his perch at the AIPAC-founded, pro-Israel think tank the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, but his departure certainly take out a key member of the administration\u2019s hawkish contingent.\nThen we come to Leon Panetta, who sometimes seems overwhelmed in his new job as secretary of defense. Panetta, though, sounded a distinctly dovish note on Iran, issuing a strong warning against the idea of war with Iran: \u201cYou\u2019ve got to be careful of unintended consequences here. And those consequences could involve not only not really deterring Iran from what they want to do, but more importantly, it could have a serious impact in the region and it could have a serious impact on US forces in the region.\u201d Well said.\nWriting in Foreign Policy, Karim Sadjadpour of the Carnegie Institute recalls a 2009 war game that he took part in, in which he played the Iranian side. In response to an Israeli attack, Sadjadpour\u2019s Iran struck back at oil installations in Saudi Arabia and the gulf, pushed Shiites to revolt in Saudi Arabia, hit Israeli \u201cmilitary and nuclear targets\u201d and pressed Hamas and Hezbollah to attack anti-Iran targets and struck at European military and civilian targets in Afghanistan and Iraq, and \u201cactivated terrorist cells\u201d in Europe, while being careful not to attack American targets to avoid a US response.\nIt\u2019s not clear to me that Iran can actually do all that, if Israel attacks, but some of it is very likely to occur, and the among the \u201cunintended consequences\u201d that Panetta talks about would be a huge spike in the price of oil.\nA worrying, and destabilizing sign, is the United States plan to sell thousands of \u201cbunker-buster\u201d bombs to the kleptocrats who control the United Arab Emirates. (The United States is already selling similar stuff to Israel, too.) I\u2019d read that not as an effort to arm the UAE for war with Iran, although that\u2019s how it will be interpreted in Iran, but as part of the overall US effort to strengthen its influence among the oil-rich thievery states of the gulf, especially as the United States pulls out of Iraq.\nDespite the IAEA\u2019s lack of a smoking gun, it\u2019s clear to me, at least, that Iran sees its nuclear program as having a military dimension, even if it\u2019s still years away from having a bomb. It\u2019s becoming clearer and clearer that there\u2019s no apparent way of stopping Iran from building a bomb, if that\u2019s what they intend to do, and so the world had better get ready to deal with an Iran that has a bomb, just in case.\nIndeed, that\u2019s exactly the conclusion of an Israeli research firm, as reported by Reuters:\nA leading Israeli investment firm said on Thursday any military strike on Iranian nuclear facilities would exact an economic price too high for the world to accept, and as a result, it would likely acquiesce to a nuclear Iran.\nA sharp rise in the price of oil, the costs of war and the damage to global trade would be too great and deter world powers from taking any serious action, said Amir Kahanovich, chief economist at Clal Finance, one of Israel\u2019s largest brokerage houses.\nThe assessment differed sharply from Israel\u2019s official position that Tehran\u2019s nuclear aspirations are unacceptable and that all options are on the table in preventing a nuclear-armed Iran, which it views as a threat to its existence.\nIn a report \u201cThe Iranian Issue through Economic Eyes,\u201d Kahanovich laid out courses of action\u2014ranging from additional \"light sanctions\" to military strikes\u2014and told investors the world would likely balk at taking the steps needed to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons.\nEven for Israel the economic cost of a military confrontation that could include retaliatory missile attacks by Tehran and proxies in Gaza and Lebanon would be too high, Kahanovich wrote.\n\u201cUnfortunately, it appears that a nuclear Iran is the most reasonable scenario,\u201d he added.",

        "raw_content": "Oscar-nominated actor Albert Finney dies aged 82\nThe British actor burst onto the scene in 1963 with the film 'Tom Jones'\nAlbert Finney arrives to attend the premiere of his new film \"Erin Brockovich\" in Los Angeles. AFP.\nMr Finney's family said Friday that he \"passed away peacefully after a short illness with those closest to him by his side.\"\nHe was a rare star who managed to avoid the Hollywood limelight for more than five decades after bursting to international fame in 1963 in the title role of \"Tom Jones.\"\nDisplaying the versatility of a virtuoso, Mr Finney portrayed Winston Churchill, Pope John Paul II, a southern American lawyer, an Irish gangster and an 18th-century rogue, among dozens of other roles over the years. There was no \"Albert Finney\"-type character that he returned to again and again.\nAlthough Mr Finney rarely discussed his personal life, he told the Manchester Evening News in 2012 that he had been treated for kidney cancer for five years, undergoing surgery and chemotherapy.\nThe son of a bookmaker, Mr Finney was born May 9, 1936, and grew up in northern England on the outskirts of Manchester. He took to the stage at an early age, doing a number of school plays and - despite his lack of connections and his working-class roots - earning a place at London's prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts.\n\"He's the reason I am an actor,\" Mr Finney said in 2012.\nMr Finney made his first professional turn at 19 and appeared in several TV movies, including \"She Stoops to Conquer\" in 1956 and \"The Claverdon Road Job\" the following year.\nSoon some critics were hailing him as \"the next Laurence Olivier\" \u2014 a commanding presence who would light up the British stage. Britain's pre-eminent theater critic, Kenneth Tynan, called the young Finney a \"smoldering young Spencer Tracy\" and warned established star Richard Burton about his prowess. In London, Mr Finney excelled both in Shakespeare's plays and in more contemporary offerings.\nBut stardom came to Mr Finney anyway in \"Tom Jones\" where he won over audiences worldwide with his good-natured, funny and sensual portrayal of an 18th-century English rogue.\nThat was the role that introduced Mr Finney to American audiences, and few would forget the lusty, blue-eyed leading man who helped the film win a Best Picture Oscar. He also earned his first Best Actor nomination for his efforts and the smash hit turned him into a Hollywood leading man.\nMr Finney had the good fortune to receive a healthy percentage of the profits from the surprise hit, giving him financial security while he was still in his 20s.\n\"This is a man from very humble origins who became rich when he was very young,\" said Quentin Falk, author of an unauthorised biography of Mr Finney. \"It brought him a lot of side benefits. He's a man who likes to live as well as to act. He enjoys his fine wine and cigars. He's his own man, I find that rather admirable.\"\n\u2014 David Morrissey (@davemorrissey64) February 8, 2019\nThe actor maintained a healthy skepticism about the British establishment and even turned down a knighthood when it was offered, declining to become Sir Albert. Mr Finney once said he did not believe in such honours.\nInstead of cashing in by taking lucrative film roles after \"Tom Jones,\" Mr Finney took a long sabbatical, travelling slowly through the United States, Mexico and the Pacific islands, then returned to the London stage to act in Shakespeare productions and other plays. He won wide acclaim and many awards before returning to film in 1967 to co-star with Audrey Hepburn in \"Two for the Road.\"\nThis was to be a familiar pattern, with Mr Finney alternating between film work and stage productions in London and New York.\nfrom Daddy Warbucks to Winston Churchill, great career, great actor, great life. RIP #AlbertFinney pic.twitter.com/bLH5lmV0Rj\nMr Finney tackled Charles Dickens in \"Scrooge\" in 1970, then played Agatha Christie's super-sleuth Hercule Poirot in \"Murder on the Orient Express\" \u2014 earning his second Best Actor nomination\u2014 and even played a werewolf hunter in the cult film \"Wolfen\" in 1981.\nEven during this extraordinary run of great roles, and his critically acclaimed television portrayal of the pope, Mr Finney's life was not chronicled in People Weekly or other magazines, although the British press was fascinated with his marriage to the sultry French film star Anouk Aimee.\nHeath Ledger's five best on-screen performances\nFilmmaker Jo Andres, wife of actor Steve Buscemi, dies aged 65\nHe played in a series of smaller, independent films for a number of years before returning to prominence in 2000 as a southern lawyer in the film \"Erin Brockovich,\" which starred Julia Roberts. The film helped introduce Mr Finney to a new generation of moviegoers, and the chemistry between the ageing lawyer and his young, aggressive assistant earned him yet another Oscar nomination, this time for Best Supporting Actor.\nHis work also helped propel Roberts to her first Best Actress Oscar. Still, Mr Finney declined to attend the Academy Awards ceremony \u2014 possibly damaging his chances at future wins by snubbing Hollywood's elite.\nMr Finney also tried his hand at directing and producing and played a vital role in sustaining British theatre.",

        "raw_content": "6 Lessons 2018 Taught Me About Relationships\nThere are the occasional bad days, but in the end, the relationship becomes even stronger.\nAllison Kline Dec 28, 2018\nI have dealt with a decently big amount off tough times in my relationship. Dealing with these difficulties did not make us weaker though, It made us stronger and we now know how to talk it through without getting angry about things.\n1. Always be able to compromise.\nwww.picpedia.org\nOf course compromising does not mean that you will both be happy all the time. Sometimes you need to be willing to put your loved ones happiness before your own, but you shouldn't have to be unhappy all the time. Your significant other must also compromise by giving you the happiness you need as well.\n2. Never let your significant other pressure you into anything your not ready for.\nhttps://unsplash.com/photos/W-wGFm54R-k\nBeing pressured could include a few different things. The big ones are sex and meeting their whole family. There are always those people you talk to who think you must have sex with your loved one right away because it shows you truly love them. This is false. If someone truly loves you, then they will be willing to wait for the other one to be completely ready. If it is meeting the family, you don't have to meet them immediately. It is best to be positive that they are ready to be that committed before just showing up saying your meeting the family.\n3. Always be who you truly are.\nIf your significant other tries to change you to what they want you to be, then you should not be with them. That person must be okay with who you truly are and not want to change anything about you. You can't say you love someone but then you slowly try to change them into the person they want you to be, and not who you want to be.\n4. You should listen to what your partner does not feel comfortable with.\nThere are times that should be obvious that it will upset your partner. Things like always hanging out with other girls/guys that you think something could happen there, or if they start talking to their ex again. There are people who might say that they ended on great terms and became friends after their breakup, but that is not what it seems like to us. When my boyfriend started to talk to his ex, he said that he just felt bad about how things ended, but in my head I was thinking, \"what if something comes out of them talking?\" I did not want to lose him to someone who did not really deserve him.\n5. You must always communicate, even when it is difficult.\nIt is not always sunshine and rainbows everyday of a relationship. There will always be those days where you are not agreeing on something and really need to cool off. You might need to continue to talk it over, but do not let it escalate or it may never get solved. This also means you must be able to trust them with anything out there.\n6. Always trust your significant other, even when it is hard.\nIf your boyfriend is always talking to girls from work but outside of work, or if your girlfriend is talking to other guys, then you need to learn to trust them that they will not let anything happen. You should never tell them they can't talk to them ever because sometimes it might be needed. But you can tell them if it becomes too much, like if they are constantly answering them the entire time you are together. Once I told my boyfriend that, he listened to me and wouldn't answer them with me around, or he would let me see what they say so I know nothing is going on.",

        "raw_content": "EU member states must adopt a zero tolerance approach to sexual harassment and violence\nWritten by Anna Maria Corazza Bildt on 10 April 2018 in Opinion\nIt\u2019s time for member states to step up to their responsibilities and ensure women and girls in Europe are free from sexual harassment and violence, writes Anna Maria Corazza Bildt.\nAnna Maria Corazza Bildt | Photo credit: European Parliament audiovisual\nThe #MeToo movement has shown how widespread sexual harassment and violence against women and girls remains. It happens everywhere: at home, in public places, at work and increasingly, online. #MeToo became a way for women to be encouraged and feel heard. I am committed to ensuring that the movement\u2019s positive momentum continues in the real world and that we support women and girls in speaking up. I want to say loud and clear: \u201cYou are not alone.\u201d\nThe European Parliament adopted a strong resolution for zero tolerance against sexual harassment last October. The silence has been broken, but much more needs to be done to eradicate gender-based violence.\nWe need to ensure proper sentencing of the perpetrators and effective protection for victims. We must ensure the painful process of denouncing these crimes is worth it. It\u2019s about putting an end to victim blaming and shifting guilt to the perpetrators. It\u2019s also about recognising that sexual harassment is a serious crime, motivated by sexism and a culture of discrimination against women.\nSoraya Post: Some think of feminism as a women\u2019s issue, but it is not - it is an equality issue\u200b\nChristine Revault d\u2019Allonnes- Bonnefoy: The refusal to legislate on violence against women is symptomatic of a wider backlash against women\u2019s rights in Europe\nTo prevent sexual harassment and other forms of violence against women and girls, we need a strong legal framework with strict sanctions, ensuring that offenders are brought to justice. Member states need to ensure effective protection for women, with greater resources for police, more shelters and support for those civil society organisations helping victims to recover.\nWe also need to join forces to build a culture of respect for women and girls. Education on equality and training for police, judges, and other officials dealing with women that are victims of violence will be key to prevention. The media also plays an important role in promoting equality and changing mentalities.\n#MeToo had a multiplying effect because it spread on social media, raising awareness and building networks among millions of women and girls. It is appalling that many of them were insulted and humiliated on social platforms when sharing their experience of sexual harassment.\nIn my work in the European Parliament, I have called on the member states to take appropriate measures to combat hate speech against women and girls and other forms of online crimes, including revenge pornography or sex extortion, which are affecting an entire generation of women.\nWe are also working together with the internet industry and social media, pressing them to take shared responsibility, removing denigrating and illegal content online against women and girls and respecting their privacy.\nIn the European Parliament, I lead the work on the EU accession to the Istanbul convention, which is the best tool we have to strengthen our action to prevent violence, combat impunity and protect victims. It clearly criminalises both violence against women and domestic violence, including sexual harassment. It provides strict sanctions and important measures to prevent violence and protect victims.\nIn June last year, I was proud to represent Parliament at the signing of the EU accession. Since then, Estonia, Cyprus and Germany have ratified the convention. I regret, however, that 11 member states are still missing from the list.\nDuring the plenary session in March, I launched an appeal to break the deadlock and move forward. There has been much misrepresentation of the Istanbul convention in some countries, such as Bulgaria, Croatia, Poland, Slovakia and also in Ukraine.\nIn his recent speech to the plenary, the Council of Europe Commissioner for human rights clarified that there was no hidden agenda behind the Istanbul convention. He said the term \u2018gender\u2019 means the \u201csocially constructed roles and behaviours that a society considers appropriate for women and men.\u201d\nIt means that the role of women in our society goes beyond the difference of sex. It is about combating stereotypes and promoting equality. The convention is not against traditional families. It is violence that \u201cendangers families\u201d, not the convention, which actually protects families.\nIn our call for action, we ask the Bulgarian EU Council presidency to put the Istanbul convention on the European Council meetings agenda for as long as it takes. We call for a constructive dialogue with member states opposing the convention, to address their concerns and clarify the misleading interpretation of \u2018gender\u2019. I have written to the Bulgarian President and Prime Minister calling on them to re-open the ratification process in Bulgaria.\nThe public debate must be based on facts, engaging with civil society and religious groups. We are also supporting women\u2019s organisations in making their voice heard. The shrinking space of civil society in some countries is part of the problem. I am pleased that gender equality Commissioner Vera Jourov\u00e1 has announced that she will travel to those countries to support the ratification of the convention.\nLet\u2019s continue to join forces and pressure member states to do more, faster and better to enforce the convention. It is time for them to take their responsibility and move from words to action, to zero tolerance for violence against women and girls.\nIt is about empowering women and girls and standing up for women\u2019s rights. As co-rapporteur on the Istanbul convention, I can assure you that we will never give up, not until women and girls in Europe are free from violence.\nAnna Maria Corazza Bildt (EPP, SE) is Parliament\u2019s co-rapporteur on the CoE convention on combating violence against women",

        "raw_content": "TAWDRY TAPES\nWhat was revealed in the Diana Tapes, why did Channel 4 show them and when were they recorded by Peter Settelen?\nFriends of the late royal begged Channel 4 not to air the 'tawdry' tapes\nINTIMATE video recordings of Princess Diana talking about her troubled marriage have been shown for the first time on British TV.\nFriends of the late royal begged Channel 4 not to broadcast the \"tawdry\" tapes made by voice coach Peter Settelen. Here's all you need to know about them.\nChannel 4 bosses have been blasted for a plan to screen 'tawdry' tapes of Princess Diana in private voice coaching sessions\nWhat are the Princess Diana tapes?\nPrincess Diana hired former Corrie actor Peter Settelen as a voice coach as she wanted to appear more confident when speaking in public.\nThe \u00a350-an-hour sessions also helped her prepare for the famous 1995 Panorama interview when she revealed she knew of Prince Charles' affair with Camilla Parker-Bowles saying \"there were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded\".\nDiana let Settelen set up a video camera as she poured her heart out, revealing intimate details about her love life and marriage.\nThe footage - 50 hours filmed over 18 months in 1992 and 1993 - was never meant to be shown in public but courtiers warned her Settelen might sell it for his \"pension\".\nSeven of a total of 12 tapes were found by cops in a 2001 raid on the home of Diana\u2019s butler Paul Burrell.\nSettelen launched legal action to have them returned to him and then sold them to US network NBC, which broadcast some of the material in 2004.\nAt the time Tory MP Sir Teddy Taylor asked broadcasters not to use the tapes in Prince William or Harry's lifetimes.\nIn 2007 the BBC paid \u00a330,000 to use excerpts in a documentary, but it was shelved amid controversy.\nThe other five tapes are said to be missing.\nKevin Sim, who produced the stalled BBC documentary and is also behind the new Channel 4 programme, said: \u201cI believe we\u2019ve got seven tapes.\n\"There are more but who knows where they are and what is on them.\u201d\nIntimate recordings of Princess Diana from the early 1990s were first shown by US channel NBC\nWhat did the Diana tapes reveal?\nIn the tapes, Diana admits she and Charles did not have sex for seven years before their split.\nShe also claims Prince Philip had encouraged Charles to cheat on her, telling him he could always go back to Camilla.\nAnd she recounts how she once went sobbing to the Queen for help saving her marriage.\nShe says the monarch replied: \u201cI don\u2019t know what you should do. Charles is hopeless.\u201d\nIn another section Diana reveals how she \"got burned\" after she fell \"deeply in love\" with a bodyguard - believed to mean cop Barry Mannakee, who was was sacked amid rumours they slept together and was killed in a motorbike crash weeks later.\nAnd she says she was driven to bulimia because she did not feel she was good enough for the Royal Family.\nSome of the footage shows genuine voice coaching exercises.\nA young Prince William is heard walking into one recording session.\nWhy did Channel 4 show the Diana tapes now and why is it controversial?\nThe candid footage is revealed for the first time on British television next Sunday in the Channel 4 documentary Diana: In Her Own words.\nIt will be shown around three weeks before the nation marks the 20th anniversary of her death in a Paris car crash on August 31, 1997.\nDiana's friends blasted the show as \"intrusive\" and said it will hurt Diana's sons Prince William and Prince Harry, while Diana's brother Charles Spencer also pleaded with Channel 4 to axe the programme.\nDickie Arbiter, former spokesman for The Queen, said: \u201cThe tapes were private. It doesn\u2019t matter if the princess is alive or dead, private should mean private.\n\u201cSelling tapes like this is grubby blood money and tawdry.\u201d\nRalph Lee, deputy chief creative officer at Channel 4, defended the decision to broadcast it saying the tapes were historically important.\nHe said: \u201cThe word that\u2019s been used is that the footage is somehow ghoulish. I don\u2019t think anyone can watch the footage and actually think this footage is ghoulish.\n\u201cI think she is self-consciously and clearly taking part in a film process and I don\u2019t think viewers will feel greatly uneasy with that.\n\u201cFor British viewers to be able to see a candid, relaxed, informal Diana talking about her life and revealing her personal perspective on events that are now familiar to us is remarkable.\n\u201cGiven that the only filmed interview that we\u2019ve ever seen with her is the Martin Bashir Panorama interview this is a really unique historical archive.\n\u201cI think a lot of viewers will feel for the first time that they are really seeing a natural, relaxed and personal Diana.\n\u201cI felt I was being given an opportunity for the first time to get to know her.\u201d\nThis week William and Harry spoke at great length about memories of their mother in the ITV documentary Diana, Our Mother, Her Life and Legacy.\nIt was also said that the revelations in the documentary could spell disaster for Prince Charles' hopes of making Camilla Queen.\nExperts said the broadcast had scuppered Clarence House's long running PR campaign to win support for the Duchess of Cornwall.\nIngrid Seward editor of Majesty magazine said: \u201cThis is a blow. I shouldn\u2019t think anyone at Clarence House dared watch it.\n\u201cThey would have hated it because it just rakes up all the muck again.\u201d\nThe candid tapes were made by Diana's voice coach Peter Settelen\nWho is Peter Settelen?\nActor Peter Settelen had appeared in Flambards, Pride and Prejudice and A Bridge Too Far in the 1970s and 1980s.\nHe was also in three episodes of Coronation Street and devised the show Through The Keyhole.\nIn the early 1990s he was hired as a voice coach to Princess Diana as the shy royal increasingly appeared independently of Prince Charles.\nHe sold tapes of their sessions to NBC in 2004 for a rumoured \u00a3500,000.\nDocumentary producer Charles Furneaux said Settlelen was \u201cnot particularly forthcoming\u201d about the missing tapes.\nHe added: \u201cHe\u2019s reluctant to become part of the story. It was hard work trying to persuade him.\u201d\nSettelen, 65, who is estranged from wife Sarah, now lives in a \u00a3750,000 house in Twickenham, South West London.\nHis spokesman said: \u201cThere has been a great deal of interest in the tapes and a valid debate as to whether or not it was appropriate to allow them to be broadcast 20 years after her death.\n\u201cBut it is very clear Diana wanted the world to know about the causes of the problems in her marriage.\n\u201cPeter was not her priest, doctor, therapist or lawyer.\n\"Diana was not disclosing bed-pillow confidences and the tapes were not secretly recorded.\n\u201cThe issues which her concerns raised at the time, are as valid today as they were over 20 years ago, no matter how inconvenient or embarrassing it may be for the Royal Family or the establishment to have to deal with them.\u201d",

        "title": "Exclusive Interview: Comedian And 'The Bosscast' Host John Murray Talks All Things Springsteen",
        "raw_content": "Exclusive Interview: Comedian And 'The Bosscast' Host John Murray Talks All Things Springsteen\nRecently, TheThings had the pleasure of speaking to comedian/actor/writer/podcast host and true blue bonafide Bruce Springsteen fan, John Murray of The Bosscast podcast. Murray was named \u201cComedy\u2019s Next Almost Star\u201d by Esquire and has appeared on several TV shows such as Difficult People, Broad City, 30 Rock, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, The Cooking Channel and many web series such as Funny Or Die.\nBorn and raised in New Jersey (the hub of Springsteen-ism), Murray created the podcast in order to discuss how The Boss's work has affected the lives of his guests, who range from fellow comedians to political figures, as well as general issues those who were \"born in the USA\" face today and assorted merriment.\nEnjoy our exclusive interview with Murray below!\nTheThings (TH): The lyrics to the intro song of your podcast say that you\u2019re obsessed with Bruce Springsteen. For how long have you had this obsession? What is it about The Boss that first drew you in and continues to draw you in to this day?\nJohn Murray (JM): Oh man, how much time to do you have? Well, I grew up in New Jersey. I\u2019m from Colts Neck in Monmouth County and I ran into someone today who\u2019s from Mercer County which is another part of New Jersey and when I said \u2018Monmouth County\u2019, he said, \u2018Oh, you\u2019re right in the middle of Springsteen country\u2019 and I was like, \u2018Oh yeah, that\u2019s my town, Colts Neck.\u2019 So that\u2019s kind of one, it\u2019s a given. My folks really liked Bruce Springsteen. They were big fans. My dad and my mom both really enjoyed his music. And I talk about this a lot on the show, how the fandom developed so it was already in my family\u2019s kind of\u2026 lexicon. And then around the end of high school, going into college, my parents had their albums and I started to find some of his albums on my own. I remember The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle, I found that out on my own and then I developed my own interest in him which was great. My parents went to the reunion tour in \u201899. I missed out on that but I can remember watching the HBO special in Madison Square Garden with my dad. That kind of hooked me. But what really locked it in is that my father died on September 11th. He was in Tower II. That December, Springsteen put on a Christmas showdown at Asbury Park Convention Hall and he invited the families of victims. My mom and I went to that show and seeing him live to begin with is amazing but to have it be on an invite basis especially after such a tragedy was really moving. So it was a thing that was forming on its own and the time of crisis really locked it in. And in a way, as I grew older\u2026 I don\u2019t live in New Jersey anymore so his music is something that I hold on to, the good part about growing up. He was always kind of in the background and it\u2019s what I love about my home state.\nTH: Can you give us your top 3 favorite songs?\nJM: Oh man, I should just have you come on the show. I could spend hours talking about this. There are songs that pull you in, songs that are important to you. They\u2019re not even my favorites but more like benchmarks of my fandom. I can remember Born in the U.S.A. I love that song. It was the first album that I ever purchased. I can remember buying it with my dad. We went to get it and they didn\u2019t have it so I ended up getting Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. and I thought it didn\u2019t sound like him at all, I was confused. I was like, six. But that was a big thing, that kind of introduced me to him. After that, it was Rosalita, when I first heard that I thought it was amazing. I\u2019m all out of order here but I would say after that, it was One Step Up off of Tunnel of Love. I talk about that one a lot on the show. I can remember it coming out when I was a kid and everybody wanted more of these anthems, good time songs. It struck me as a kid back in \u201888, as being different and now as an adult, listening to the themes about relationships.\nJM: Can I ask you a question? Are you a fan?\nTH: I\u2019m a fan, not a superfan but I definitely like his songs. I like Dancing in the Dark and Born in the U.S.A.\nJM: Have you ever seen him live?\nTH: I haven\u2019t but I would like to. As I understand it, he has a very powerful stage presence?\nJM: That would be kind of an understatement. He goes on for 3 hours, he\u2019s very entertaining. He puts on a great show, he keeps you locked in.\nTH: Wow, that\u2019s pretty impressive for sure. Is it a requirement that all of your guests be as dedicated to The Boss as you are? Do you have tests of Springsteen-love that potential guests have to pass before being booked? Or do you enjoy educating non-fans on why Springsteen is worship-worthy?\nJM: Well, I like to say that we don\u2019t judge fandom on the show. Springsteen fandom can be very much like that. For me, I\u2019ve seen him live 10 times compared to people who have been fans since \u201875. There\u2019s people who have 125 shows under their belt and they could look at me as a neophyte like how could I share my opinion? So I try not do that. I seek out people by word of mouth. I look for guests who love Bruce Springsteen and can talk about him. I don\u2019t look for much else. Generally, people who say that are those who have seen him live but that\u2019s not to say it\u2019s a requirement. We\u2019ve had a couple of guests who haven\u2019t but who just love the albums. And of course, at the end, they say, \u2018I\u2019ve got to see him live!\u2019 Being a music fan in general is a subjective thing and you can have an opinion about it and if you\u2019re passionate about it, that\u2019s all I would like to talk to someone about.\nTH: Right, I listened to the episode with Will Hines and he was really passionate about it.\nJM: I agree. He went to a show during the Tunnel of Love tour and I\u2019m just envious. What a great time to see him. And he\u2019s seen him twice since then. And thank you for listening.\nTH: Yeah, I\u2019m a subscriber now. One thing that I noticed when listening to the podcast is that you and your guests know a lot about Springsteen\u2019s personal life, small details that most people probably are not aware of.\nJM: He draws you in and he's got the book now too which has opened so many doors. And that's the big thing with fandom, his autobiography. For me now it's a shorthand when you're sitting down with a guest, it's like,'Well, have you read the book?' and most guests say, 'Of course I read the book.' You're able to talk about the music and also his take on life. Everyone's able to jump on it. My producer, Laith, two weeks into it said, \"The show, it's working. It gets personal so quickly. I haven\u2019t seen this with another musician where it gets to people's\u2019 families so quickly.\"\nTH: Why is Springsteen + comedy is a successful combination?\nJM: For one, he has a good sense of humor about himself. I don't know if you've seen him on Fallon. He sang on Fallon, he's done appearances on Colbert, on Stewart. He's friend with all of those guys. He has an appreciation for comedy as an artist. We joke about it too, on the show. We since he's kind of so sincere. talking about the most sincere individual and it makes us sincere. Maybe it's just the side to comedians that we all secretly take ourselves seriously or something like that and we're able to sit down and talk about these sad songs. He's also good to parody in comedy. The Ben Stiller Show did a series of sketches called \u201cLegends of Springsteen\u201d about him that were done very lovingly but were very funny.\nTH: You mentioned kissing your family goodbye earlier. Is your wife also a fan? How does she feel about your love of Springsteen?\nJM: My wife, she's not like me. She\u2019s not obsessive. She's become more a fan during our marriage. She definitely appreciates him more now. Now she's listened to the lyrics, she's into it now. She has seen him live with me a few times. She's said that undoubtedly he's probably one of the best live performers. But when my back is turned, is she putting on a Springsteen album? No. That's not what\u2019s gonna happen. She appreciates it but she's not like, \u2018It's ticket drop day! We need to get those tickets!\u2019 But that's good. I need someone to keep me in check.\nTH: And your kids, are they fans?\nJM: My kids like him. I think he\u2019s my daughter\u2019s favorite. She calls him \u201cBruce Stingseen.\u201d My son likes Elvis. But I think The Boss would be fine with that.\nTH: Do you know (via social media) if news of your podcast has reached The Boss yet? Pretend he\u2019s reading this now. What would you want him to know about your podcast?\nJM: No, I don\u2019t know that. People have asked me if I want him on the show and that\u2019s not really the goal for me. It\u2019s about the world of the fandom. There are people that I would love to have on. There\u2019s a journalist, Karen Rose, who has written about him at length. That\u2019s someone that I want to talk to, I find her interesting as a music journalist/ I want to talk to people like that and find out their opinions about him and how their love of him influences their work. To talk to Bruce Springsteen about himself, he\u2019s not going to be like, \u2018Oh yeah, I love myself.\u2019 That\u2019s not going to lead anywhere.\nTH: We heard that you haven\u2019t had many chances to talk about your reasons for starting the podcast in depth, which are very personal and tied to your childhood. Can you tell us about them?\nJM: Starting the podcast, I wanted to be an open book about my family and what\u2019s happened. My mom is also deceased. She died in tragic circumstances as well. She was in an accident. She ended up freezing to death outside close to our house. I\u2019ve had a lot of tragedy with my life, tied to New Jersey. Even though my dad died in New York, he commuted every day. Opening up the podcast, I knew that those things would be on the table. Springsteen for me is kind of like a piece of home, it\u2019s almost portable now, something that I carry around with me because I don\u2019t go back to where I grew up. There really isn\u2019t anything there for me anymore.\nTH: Every episode has a different guest, either a comedian, journalist, musician or friend of yours and the conversation is geared toward the guest and their projects but everything always gets tied back to Bruce in the end. Do you ever worry about running out of Bruce-related topics?\nJM: Not really because I think that Springsteen\u2019s music is so subjective that the topic replenishes itself. His work is so expansive too so everyone\u2019s coming in with their own favorite album. He\u2019s an artist that has had such a personal effect on people and it seems to bring out different stories in people.\nTH: What can non-Springsteen fans or iffy Springsteen fans get out of The Bosscast and what do you say to people that you meet who are not Springsteen fans in regards to listening to the podcast?\nJM: The hook of the podcast is that we\u2019re going to end up talking about this major artist that we all know but I like to think that it\u2019s really about the person. The first half of the show especially and what sprinkles through is their journey. I have people on the show whose careers I find interesting. A lot of times, I like to ask them about a big turning point in that career and how they handled that. As an individual, I find moments and decisions in change challenging and daunting. To hear people talk about how they handled it, I find it to be gratifying and educational. We\u2019ll have a comedian as a guest or ask someone how they got into writing and there\u2019s a benefit for the listeners because our guests talk about how to get into the arts. We also have an upcoming guest who is involved in politics. The tie-in is how Springsteen helped them out in their life. Once again, I never judge fandom.\nTH: What\u2019s next for The Bosscast? Can you share the names of guests that our readers might know of? Also, do you have any other upcoming projects that you can tell us about?\nJM: I\u2019m tentative to get out names because our roster changes all the time. I can give professions other than names, hopefully, someone from Rolling Stone again. We\u2019re going to be having more music journalists, a democratic candidate, someone who works in the fashion industry\u2026 all walks of life. It also gets guests through word-of-mouth. People can reach out. A couple of people from Twitter have expressed interest in getting on so I\u2019m trying to get on as many people as I can.\nTH: Can you share some of the inner workings of The Bosscast? How do you prepare for guests?\nJM: Like any interview, we definitely beef up on their backgrounds. We have a handful of questions that we stick to. Unlike other podcasts, I like to keep it very conversational, a familiar experience where the listener feels like they\u2019re hearing two fans or two people getting to know each other talk without it being so interrupted. I don\u2019t want to cut anyone off because I want to hear everything. I don\u2019t put a limit on their answers because I want it to be natural. But we have four or five regular questions that I like to touch on or just keep in mind throughout the podcast.\nTH: Pretend that Springsteen finds this interview. What would you want to say to him?\nJM: I would just say thank you. That\u2019s it. Thanks for putting the music out there. That\u2019s all I need to say. There\u2019s not much more. I actually did meet him once and what I told him is what I just said. Thank you. I didn\u2019t need a photo, I didn\u2019t need anything else. Just a handshake and a thank you. Because my podcast [is], in the end, for the lack of a better term, a love letter to his work.\nTH: Finally, can you share your favorite book with our readers?\nJM: That\u2019s a loaded question. I\u2019m a big reader. I\u2019m going to go with Red Harvest by Dashiell Hammett. It\u2019s a standard story. If you\u2019ve ever heard of a story where a stranger comes into town and he plays two sides against each other. That's based off of Red Harvest. And it\u2019s very well-written. It\u2019s an amazing book.\nTH: John, thank you so much for taking the time for this exclusive interview today.\nJM: Thank you for having me. I really appreciate it.\nNEXT: PIERS MORGAN DAD SHAMES DANIEL CRAIG AND GETS PIED IN THE FACE",

Avocados From Mexico are on their way to the Super Bowl!\nTaking a page from the Wonderful Pistachios and Dannon yogurt playbook, the association representing football-shaped Mexican-grown avocados in the US has bought commercial time to run a 30-second spot in the Big Game on February 1, making it the first fresh-produce brand to advertise during the game\u2014and certainly one of the healthiest foods ever to take the Super Bowl stage.\n\u201cIt\u2019s a natural fit for us because the No. 1 usage of avocados is guacamole, and the peak of guacamole consumption each year is the Super Bowl,\u201d said Alvaro Luque, CEO of Irving, Texas-based Avocados From Mexico.\nThe following interview with Alvaro Luque was published on the brandchannel.com website on January 2nd:\nIt\u2019s a major commitment for any brand to pony up $4 million or so to advertise in the Super Bowl, and most of them don\u2019t do it. So why are you suiting up for Game Day?\nGuacamole is becoming stronger and stronger as the natural snack of the US football season. It\u2019s the biggest produce snack consumed during the game. Every time we go into the season, sales of avocados grow like crazy, and the highest peak comes around the Super Bowl. It\u2019s the time of greatest momentum for us to create brand awareness, and we are the No. 1 brand of avocado in the US. It\u2019ll reinforce the whole campaign that we started in October and will continue through May.\nPlus we are taking advantage of the fact that we\u2019re basically the only ones still out there with avocados by the time the Super Bowl comes around. It was God\u2019s decision to make our state of Michoachan the only place on earth with four consistent blooms of avocados each year; in California, for example, you only find one bloom and [avocados are] around for four to five months only. Our highest season is the winter time. Almost all of the Super Bowl [guacamole] eating will be avocados from Mexico.\nGuacamole consumption in the US is booming. What is the overall growth picture?\nAlvaro Luque: Guacamole accounts for the No. 1 usage of avocados by nearly half of the (US) respondents we surveyed. Overall, avocado consumption in the US was about 1.7 billion pounds in the last fiscal year, and Avocados From Mexico accounted for about 1.1 billion pounds of that. This fiscal year Avocados From Mexico are growing by 47 percent, and avocado sales overall have been growing by 13 percent. At roughly $1 a pound, that makes avocados more than a $2 billion industry in the US.\nDoes guacamole pretty much account for all of the growth in the avocado business in the US?\nAlvaro Luque: No, far from it. America is in love with avocados right now, and there also are other big usages in sandwiches and salads. That\u2019s why, immediately after the Super Bowl, we are launching a sandwich promotion called Fanwich featuring Jeff Mauro, the Sandwich King on Food Network.\nAre you also, like other Super Bowl brands, going to be ramping up with social media and other digital promotions before and after the game?\nAlvaro Luque: Yes. In addition to the sandwich advertising campaign afterward, right before the Super Bowl we\u2019re going to launch a consumer PR program called \u201cNo Guac, No Game,\u201d featuring Mario Lopez and his wife, Courtney. That will add to the four TV ads we have running on network and cable TV in the US.\nAnd during the game we\u2019ll have a war room operating in Dallas, where we\u2019re going to concentrate on trying to dominate social media and digital platforms for this promotion. Immediately after we launch our TV ad at the end of the first quarter, we\u2019ll launch a digital campaign featuring seven videos around a big consumer promotion that will roll through the rest of the day and lead into the following day.\nSo can you tell us anything about your Super Bowl creative?\nAlvaro Luque: No way!\nSource: http://www.brandchannel.com/",

        "raw_content": "U.S. IRS and Mexican SAT begin sharing info on bank accounts\nWASHINGTON, D.C. \u2014 United States authorities have begun the exchange of information with Mexico on all Mexicans with bank accounts or investments in the U.S. who have obtained more than $10 USD in annual interest.\nWith the implementation of the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), Mexico plans to deliver to the U.S. information on all Americans with accounts or investments in Mexican institutions of more than $50,000 USD.\nWhile FATCA was enacted in the United States in 2010 as a new legal tool against tax evasion because of the scandal of HSBC Bank, its implementation will be carried out this month, amid successive lawsuits against the law.\nThe Texas Bankers Association and the Florida Bankers Association sued the U.S. Treasury Department in 2013, while Sen. Rand Paul and American expatriates maintain their own legal challenge (Crawford vs US Treasury) in progress.\nSince the enactment of FATCA by President Barack Obama, the United States launched the negotiation of bilateral agreements with over 70 countries, in order to formalize the mutual exchange of information. In the case of Mexico, the agreement was finalized on April 9, 2014.\n\u201cMexico and the U.S. have conducted technical tests for months on the exchange of information (\u2026) The implementation of the bilateral agreement will be gradual,\u201d he told Notimex an official source.\nUnder the bilateral agreement, information about accounts for 2014 and subsequent years will be shared between the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) of the United States and Tax Administration Service (SAT) of Mexico.\n\u201cThat\u2019s going to allow a safety standard and to receive the information and send the information\u201d, SAT Director Aristotle Nunez Sanchez said at a recent forum in Mexico.\nThe plan of the SAT is to collect and evaluate information on Mexicans with accounts or investments in the US, with a view to initiating the respective audits in appropriate cases starting from 2016.\nThe IRS will provide to Mexico the name, address and tax identification number of residents of Mexico with accounts or investments in the US that have obtained at least $10 USD in interest on the previous or current year. The program is not retroactive.\nIRS also will deliver the account number or equivalent, the name of the depositary institution, the amount of interest paid, the amount of dividends or income received or credited in the United States and the source of other resources of Mexican residents.\nMexico will provide the IRS the name, address and tax number of Americans with accounts whose balance is greater than $50,000 USD, the account number, the monthly balance and the amount of interest paid.\nSo far more than 600 banking and financial institutions in Mexico have agreed to participate in FATCA. Under US law, those who do not could face penalties, including a 30 percent tax on their assets in the United States.\nIt is estimated that worldwide more than 173,500 banking institutions have agreed to participate in FATCA and report information about their US account holders.\nIn the United States, two major associations of bankers, the Texas and Florida groups, began in April 2013 a legal battle against FACTA, contending that its provisions are unduly burdensome can affect investments in this country.\nAccording to the Texas Bankers Association, the imminence of FATCA led to the departure of more than $500 million in foreign accounts in that state and also may causea greater risk of capital flight from the US.\nLast year, Judge James Boasberg of the District Court in Washington, DC, dismissed the claim, but bankers associations appealed the ruling to the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.\nIn August, three circuit judges ruled in favor of the US government.\nBut the battle against FATCA also includes a group of expatriates who sued the federal government in Ohio, and Senator Rand Paul and the Republican Party, whose national committee denounced the law as invasive of personal privacy.\nFATCA\u2019s opponents also argue that the law is causing an unprecedented number of Americans to renounce their citizenship to avoid the effects of the law. Last year 3,415 gave up citizenship, compared with 742 in 2009, before FATCA.\nAlthough there is no official estimate on the amount of taxes not collected by the United States on foreign accounts, US lawmakers have estimated that number at about $100 billion USD.\nAs a US citizen retired in Mexico, this \u201claw\u201d means if I have a savings account with as little as $2500 in it (about $10 interest), it must be reported to Mexico! Via the Internet of course. Russia is gonna LOVE this new law! Let\u2019s all give another shout out to Obama.",

Among the 17 goals, which are focused on people, planet and prosperity, is a call for zero hunger by 2030.\nNever before has humanity had such an opportunity. The world is now echoing the call that The Hunger Project declared in 1977 \u2014 it is time to end hunger, once and for all.\nThe Hunger Project\u2019s vision is a world where every woman, man and child leads a healthy, fulfilling life of self-reliance and dignity. For more than three decades we have been pioneering sustainable, grassroots, women-centered strategies around the world. To achieve our mission of ending hunger and poverty, we must become ever more rigorous in applying our strategic methodology \u2014 always asking what\u2019s missing, that if provided, would break through to the end of hunger \u2014 as well as our deeply held principles that underpin each and every action we take.\nBased on these fundamental aspects of our organization, we must seize the opportunity of the SDGs. We see that our highest-leverage role for the end of hunger by 2030 is to stand on the strength of our programs \u2014 the heart of what we do \u2013 and build the large-scale partnerships and alliances needed to empower gender-focused community-led rural development everywhere it is needed.",

        "raw_content": "Quad wrangles\nThe departure of Stephen Tumim (right) from St Edmund's Hall has provoked its students to stage a sit-in. But is he the victim of an archaic college system that the government should scrap? Sian Griffiths reports\nThis lunch-time around a hundred undergraduates will troop into the front quadrangle of St Edmund's Hall, off Oxford's busy High Street, plonk themselves down on the grass around the college's ancient wishing well and sit there for an hour.\nIt is a quiet protest from students at a college better known for its rowing and rugby than its political militancy - but Teddy Hall's students have finally found themselves a cause. Earlier this week 125 of the college's 350 students (\"a record number,\" said the students' president John Houghton, proudly), unanimously backed a vote of no-confidence in the 50 or so dons who run their small college.\nThe students have thrown their weight behind Teddy Hall's \"vocal and flamboyant\" ex-principal, Sir Stephen Tumim, who made his name speaking out about Britain's overflowing jails as former chief inspector of prisons. Sir Stephen's clash with the fellows of the college he led resulted, late last week, in his resignation from the post of principal, two years into a five year contract, and his acceptance of a six figure pay-off. The students are furious that Sir Stephen was forced out following a vote of the college's dons and have condemned the move as a PR disaster, one likely to reinforce Teddy Hall's insular and archaic image.\nSir Stephen is the latest in a line of distinguished public figures who have taken up the headships of Oxford and Cambridge colleges, only to leave fairly sharpish. In 1993 the former head of the BBC World Service, John Tusa, gave up the presidency of Wolfson College, Cambridge, after less than a year, citing differences of opinion with college fellows. In his resignation letter, Tusa, like Tumim extremely popular with his college's students, said that Wolfson \"had a deep fear of a real involvement with the outside world\". This week, asked whether he knew other heads of houses unhappy with their lot, Tusa, now managing director of the Barbican Centre, London, laughed and said \"lots\".\nBetween 1991 and 1993 a dozen Oxford colleges changed their heads and the latest upheaval will do little to encourage the great and the good to apply for the once-coveted job of head of house. One insider said this week:\n\"What has happened to Stephen Tumim is only an extreme example of what's happening to lots of heads of houses - only most people do not argue the toss or fight their corner. This is a system at fault.\" Another commented:\n\"What enrages me is the arrogance of Oxbridge dons, the way they have managed to bypass all attempts to improve corporate governance in either the public or the private sectors\".\nThe view from within the quadrangles is that Tumim and Tusa were outsiders who failed to understand either the role of a head of college or the \"pure\" and \"direct\" democracy that Oxbridge college governance is said to exemplify. Oxbridge colleges are charitable institutions, governed by the heads and fellows, who manage the finances and select undergraduates. Their relationship with the wider university, of which nearly all college fellows are also members, is an arms-length one, marked by a tangle of ancient and bureaucratic rules and a multiplicity of committees. \"The master of a college is more a figurehead than a manager,\" said one don last week. \"Colleges are democratic institutions, the master's vote counts for no more than anyone else's.\"\nThe view from elsewhere, however, is very different - and much more savage. Critics say that the fact that college heads have no power is just one symptom of how both universities are entangled in an ancient and unwieldy system of governance in urgent need of a radical overhaul.\nFollowing the Tumim debacle there are discussions about setting up a pressure group to persuade the government to establish a Royal Commission that would force both Oxford and Cambridge to reform their collegiate structure, to make the kind of changes they seem incapable of making themselves. (The report of former vice-chancellor Sir Peter North, Oxford's latest internal attempt at change, is dismissed for skating over the relations between university and colleges.) One of the campaigners, who does not wish to be named but who describes Oxford colleges as \"self-perpetuating oligarchies\", says: \"The relationship between the colleges and the university is not dissimilar to that between Sinn Fein and the IRA. You cannot decouple them. It is an impossible governing regime.\"\nOne of Britain's best-known academics, historian David Cannadine, is involved in the discussions. He comments: \"My view for a long time has been that something needs to be done about the structure of Oxford and Cambridge. The Tumim episode just confirms it.\"\nCannadine, director of the Institute of Historical Research in London, argues that \"historically Oxbridge has only ever been reformed by Royal Commission. There is no central body internally which can take decisions which can be binding on everyone else. The only way to force change is to change the structure - from the outside. And it is time it is done again.\"\nJohn Tusa, another of those involved, agrees: \"There have been too many nonsenses like the Tumim business, frankly, and they do point to structural workings that need to be looked at.\"\nThe number one target for reform, says Cannadine, is the \"incredibly complex relationship between a self-governing college and the university and the way dons are members of both\". So Oxford and Cambridge have become impossible to manage. Tusa wants to see the roles and responsibilities of college councils clearly defined and the exact role and powers of the head of house spelt out equally clearly.\nBut also high on the list for change are more general concerns likely to touch a chord among the wider public: Oxbridge's shameful failure to recruit more pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds, for instance - about half of Oxbridge's intake of undergraduates are drawn from fee-paying schools. Then there is the controversial question of the gender balance of professors at both universities. In Oxford 7 per cent of professors are women; in Cambridge 5.9 per cent. And there is the matter of why Oxford and Cambridge receive more generous state funding than other universities - again on account of their collegiate structure and the responsibility colleges hold for teaching undergraduates in the costly one-to-one tutorial system.\nA former Oxford research fellow, Paul Johnson, highlighted another concern. He pointed out that if the university is to carry on competing in an international arena with the likes of Harvard and Yale, it cannot rest on its laurels. \"It needs modernising. Everyone talks about the financial cost of the tutorial system but what is just as important is the burden it places on the fellows. At Oxford an academic does 12 hours of undergraduate teaching a week compared with six or seven hours at another university. Add to that the three layers of committee meetings - college, university and faculty - that many dons have to attend and what you are left with is no time for research.\"\nOne radical option is to end Oxbridge's collegiate status - to scrap the colleges, though John Tusa thinks this is going too far. Less radical is the suggestion that a third of the voting fellows at each college should be lay members, recruited from outside the universities. They would provide a sort of \"reality check\" and bring in much needed financial and marketing acumen.\nAs David Cannadine says, the last time Oxford and Cambridge was reformed was in 1923 when Parliament passed the Oxford and Cambridge Act - statutory legislation under which they have been governed ever since. The 1920s were a long time ago.\nNOT QUITE ONE OF THEM; THE FACES THAT DIDN'T FIT\nStephen Tumim took up the post of principal at St Edmund's Hall two years ago on a five-year contract. Lively and outspoken, he was a hit with the students, mingling easily at their events and anxious to boost the numbers of state-educated undergraduates at Teddy Hall, which has historically performed badly in Oxford's league table of examination performance.\nBut Tumim's relationship with the college's bursar, a former policeman, Geoffrey Bourne-Taylor, deteriorated after the principal fell out with Nancy Giles, a college fundraiser. Giles, an American, was close to Bourne-Taylor. She finally left in October having refused to work with Tumim. The result was that Tumim was then accused of bad person-management.\nThe atmosphere in college became very unpleasant. The dons held meetings in camera and hostile minutes circulated widely. It was said that Tumim did not read policy papers and did not pick up university politics quickly enough.\nFinally, a majority of the dons supported a motion asking the principal to step down.\nThe only public statement Tumim has made since taking the decision to resign states: \"Differences in opinion have emerged over the interpretation of the role of principal, which have proved impossible to reconcile.\"\nIn October 1993 John Tusa walked out after only nine months as president of Wolfson College, Cambridge, telling fellows: \"I realised I had better things to do with my time\". In his resignation letter, leaked to the press, he cited disagreements between himself and John Cathie, a former senior tutor, who was suspended by Tusa and left the college in July 1993. Tusa says Cathie breached a college statute.\nThis week he told The THES: \"I was standing up to preserve the authority of college council. But instead of the council backing me it decided that I was not the person who should appraise the issue. That seemed to me a pointless way of behaving.\"\nTusa wrote at the time: \"I found the attitude of too many of the council to resolving the matter dilatory, hesitant and more concerned to address the minutiae of procedure than the urgent matters of principle and behaviour involved.\"\nWolfson, a college for postgraduates and mature undergraduates, issueda statement saying that the rift \"reflects a difference in culture and expectations between (Tusa's) own experience and that of the college\".\nWHAT'S WRONG WITH COLLEGE GOVERNANCE?\n* Colleges have charitable status - yet they are under no obligation to publish their accounts. Was paying Stephen Tumim a six-figure sum to leave a proper use of charitable monies?\n* Fellows administer the money from which their salaries are drawn. Is this a conflict of interest?\n* Colleges appoint fellows primarily to teach college students - yet these fellows have university-wide responsibilities that often conflict with their college duties.\n* College fellows have little knowledge of financial affairs, yet they vote on such specialised issues as how to manage share portfolios or how to conduct multi-million pound fundraising campaigns.\n* The role of college principals in Oxbridge seems unclear - are they figureheads or managers?",

        "raw_content": "Birmingham review\nRadical plans at the university will see 19 schools replaced by five colleges led by mini v-cs, says Tony Tysome.\nBirmingham University claims to be leading a revolution in the way institutions are managed, with plans to reorganise itself into five colleges each headed by a \"mini vice-chancellor\".\nIt claims the move will result in a culture change, providing new research and teaching opportunities for staff.\nAn external agency will be appointed to search for candidates to take charge of the colleges on permanent contracts if the university's council gives the go-ahead to the proposals this week.\nUnder recommendations that have so far had a mixed response from the staff and students involved in a five-month consultation, the 19 academic schools will be dissolved and their disciplines placed within a five-college structure from August 2008.\nBut the most radical and controversial proposal relates to the level of power and autonomy that will be delegated to the new heads, who will manage devolved budgets and will sit on an executive board with the vice-chancellor.\nSpeculation among some staff that the positions could go to non-academic industry heads - even \"brewery managers\" - have been dismissed by Jonathan Nicholls, Birmingham's registrar.\nHe told The Times Higher : \"We will be looking for very distinguished people with strong research backgrounds and a good track record in academic management.\n\"We see a potential for each of them to eventually become vice-chancellors.\nThey will almost be trainee vice-chancellors.\"\nDr Nicholls said the reorganisation and the autonomy given to the college heads was designed to provide greater flexibility in how the university was run and to create new opportunities for cross-disciplinary work.\n\"Some universities suffer from set disciplinary boundaries. Under the new arrangements we will see an opportunity to create new research centres that straddle the various schools. It should give academics more opportunities to realise their full potential,\" he said.\n\"We are at the beginning of a new trend. Other universities are making similar moves, but we would say that we are setting a trend .\"\nA paper circulated to members of the University and College Union at Birmingham warns: \"It appears to be proposed that colleges will be managed by the head of college and a college executive board, composed entirely of those appointed by the head of college.\n\"This would give enormous unfettered power to heads of colleges.\n\"In the absence of strong checks and balances... colleges could become personal empires or fiefdoms.\"\ntony.tysome@thes.co.uk",

        "raw_content": "By Jay Walljasper, guest blogger\nEditor\u2019s Note: The following excerpt from America\u2019s Walking Renaissance by Minneapolis-based writer Jay Walljasper is a strong reminder that pervasive racial and socio-economic inequity impacts even the most universal way of getting around. Clearly there\u2019s work to do\u2013here in the Twin Cities and across the country\u2013to ensure access to a walkable community is not limited by race, income, age, or ability. We expect this to be a key topic at the 2017 National Walking Summit coming to Saint Paul next fall. TLC\u2019s Executive Director Jessica Treat serves on the local host committee.\n\u201cThe health benefits of walking are so overwhelming that to deny access to that is a violation of fundamental human rights,\u201d declared Robert D. Bullard, credited as father of the environmental justice movement.\n\u201cTell me your zip code and I can tell you how healthy you are,\u201d said Bullard, dean of the School of Public Affairs at Texas Southern University, in a keynote at the National Walking Summit in October 2015 in Washington, D.C. (The next National Walking Summit will be held in Saint Paul Sept. 13-15.)\n\u201cThat should not be. \u2026 All communities should have a right to a safe, sustainable, healthy, just, walkable community.\u201d\nJaw-dropping silence seized the room as Bullard showed a succession of maps illustrating how patterns of historic racial segregation and current poverty strongly correlate with low levels of walking and high levels of obesity, diabetes, hypertension and heart disease.\n\u201cHealth disparities don\u2019t just happen by accident,\u201d he explained. They are the tragic legacy of racism and unequal economic opportunity. Being able to walk safely, Bullard pointed out, is literally a matter of life and death. \u201cResearch shows that walking can give you seven more years of life,\u201d he said.\nIt is a stark fact that children, older Americans, the poor, people of color and people with disabilities are injured or killed more often while walking (or rolling, in the case of people using wheelchairs and motorized carts).\n\u2022 People walking in the poorest one-third of urban census tracts are twice as likely to be killed by cars.\n\u2022 African Americans are 60 percent more likely to be killed by cars while walking, and Latinos 43 percent.\nMany disadvantaged people now think twice before traveling on foot due to dangerous traffic, crumbling sidewalks, street crime, or a lack of stores and public places within walking distance. Poor conditions for walking among low-income households, people of color and some immigrant communities limit their access to jobs and education. One-third of all African Americans and one-quarter of all Latinos live without access to a car, according to a report by the Leadership Conference Education Fund which means walking and public transit (which involves a walk) represent important pathways to opportunity.\n\u201cA big thing we could do to help low-income families is to make it easier to live without a car. And it would help middle-class families to switch from two cars to one,\u201d says Gil Penalosa, founder of 8 80 Cities and an immigrant from Colombia. He notes that the average cost of owning and operating one car is about $8,500 a year.\nIn addition to traffic injuries, there\u2019s a stigma in low-income communities that people on foot are \u201closers,\u201d explains Yolanda Savage-Narva, director of health equity at the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials. Growing up in an African American community in Mississippi, Savage-Narva recalls, \u201cIt wasn\u2019t normal to walk. It was something that only really poor people did.\u201d\nHow you travel looms large as an emotional issue in disadvantaged communities, according to Penalosa. \u201cWalking is seen as a symbol of failure. And you can see why when you look at the places where many people are forced to walk\u2014deteriorating infrastructure, dangerous intersections. It\u2019s like we are telling these people every day that they are second-class citizens.\u201d\nAnita Hairston, associate director and transportation specialist at Policy Link, a national institute focused on social equity, offers another reason straight out of today\u2019s headlines to explain why many African Americans and Latinos are wary about taking a stroll. \u201cThe issue of racial profiling is front and center. Who\u2019s got the right to be on the streets? If a group of young black men are dressed casually, people think: Where is this gang going? What are they going to do? Not everyone has the same experience on the street.\u201d\nDespite all these roadblocks, people in disadvantaged communities still walk more than other Americans. \u201cThe fact is that we have twice as many low-income children who are walking or biking to school than those in affluent neighborhoods, even lacking the infrastructure to protect the children who walk and bicycle,\u201d reports Keith Benjamin, Community Partnerships Manager for the Safe Routes to School National Partnership.\nThe good news is that the right to walk is becoming a major issue, as advocates for social justice, public health, neighborhood revitalization and other causes push for policies to make walking safer and easier in communities all across America. Diverse communities, from inner-city Washington, D.C., to the Central Valley of California, are pioneering new programs that make sure that everyone can enjoy the benefits of walking. As Ron Sims, an activist in the African American neighborhoods of Seattle and former deputy secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, notes, \u201cIf you have parks, playgrounds, community gardens, and wide sidewalks, you have good health outcomes. If you have walkable communities, kids will do better in school \u2026 seniors will be healthier.\u201d\nJay Walljasper\u2014a Minneapolis-based consultant, writer and speaker on creating healthier, stronger communities\u2014is author of America\u2019s Walking Renaissance, from which this story is excerpted.

        "raw_content": "Cheese really reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease and offers many health benefits\nThe American Journal of Clinical Nutrition has published multiple studies on the relationship between cardiovascular health, the content of fat in the blood and the consumption of saturated fats found in cheese. Most US dietary guidelines suggest keeping consumption of saturated fats to a minimum, as it is believed that they increase cholesterol levels and the risk of cardiovascular disease.\nBut since 2017, the new findings show that one should look at the entire food item, rather than the individual nutrients, to determine if it is not healthy. A report published last May in the same magazine details the \"Effect of dietary matrix\": a phenomenon that involves the differences between the effects of whole foods and the unique nutrients.\nThe dairy food matrix, in particular, seems to show the opposite of what the fatty foods guidelines suggest. Cheese, for example, has been shown in the past and present to significantly reduce LDL and HDL cholesterol levels compared to butter. It was discovered that high-fat yogurt reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes by 12%, while other high-fat products such as milk, cream, and cheese are left behind.\nThe speculation is that within the creamy goodness of the cheese, the nutrient molecules are enclosed within complex structures called matrices that your body needs time to dismantle. The slower release of these nutrients into our bloodstream seems to benefit healthy cardio-metabolic function.\nIn contrast, the dairy food matrix of butter has been linked to increased levels of cholesterol and other markers of disease, suggesting that each element of food needs careful consideration.\nHowever, later in the report, a stronger case was made for the consumption of whole cheese when observations were collected on the results of studies comparing cheese and other dairy products with supplements.\nCalcium, vitamin D and protein are all commonly supplemented nutrients that are also present in cheese. However, for markers of weight loss, bone density and blood pressure, real cheese won with supplements.\nThe extensive report concluded with a reminder that cheese and other whole milk products are linked to an inverse effect, a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, coronary heart disease, and type 2 diabetes, along with the effectiveness of cheese. a method of delivering vital nutrients.\nNow it's more than a year later and the effect of the milk matrix is still being investigated, with this new study from the Food and Health Institute that compares the effect of cheese and butter with all the fat on LDL cholesterol levels. Again, even though the saturated fat content is similar, the effect on cardio-metabolic health varies significantly.\nThe report of the dairy food matrix is enough for a cheese lover to jump for joy, and more research is always needed to fully understand the role that any type of food plays in our long-term health, cheese - cheese - fromage - Formaggio - Kase, it seems to be clear.",

        "raw_content": "I'd Become A Fool For Love For N500million - Curvy Actress, Nkechi Blessing\nSpeaking of her rise in the movie industry, the actress-cum-filmmaker told Saturday Beat that she was aware that some people thought she was new in the movie industry.\nNollywood actress, Nkechi Blessing\nWhenever popular actress, Nkechi Blessing, walks by, there is no doubt that people take notice of her big buttocks. While some ladies might feel embarrassed about the attention they get from having a big bum, the actress told Saturday Beat that she was comfortable in her skin and happy to have \u2018beautiful buttocks.\u2019\n\u201cWhenever I am passing by, a lot of people shout, especially because I am endowed. I understand because it is a part of my personality. It happens daily and it is a normal thing. I have a very beautiful bum and I cannot feel embarrassed about it. I cannot feel embarrassed about what God gave to me.\n\u201cI know that I\u2019m talented and people tend to see my natural endowment but it is okay because it is very obvious. You cannot hide God\u2019s glory and blessing. He gave me this endowment so you have to see it first before you see the other sides of me. It is very obvious that I\u2019m a curvaceous lady. I have always been comfortable with my body.\n\u201cWhile I was growing up, I was skinny but I had big buttocks. I got bigger and everything was in the right proportion. I cannot complain because God gave me a perfect body. He gave me the perfect fat legs to carry the big buttocks,\u201d she said.\nSpeaking of her rise in the movie industry, the actress-cum-filmmaker told Saturday Beat that she was aware that some people thought she was new in the movie industry; however, she said she had been in the game for a decade.\n\u201cA lot of people think I am new to the movie industry but the truth is that I have been in this movie-making business for about a decade. If you notice that I am in a lot of movies recently, it does not mean that I just came from nowhere to dominate the movie industry, I have been working for over 10 years and I worked hard to be where I am today.\n\u201cI would say that the social media helped a lot in making me popular, especially Instagram because I talk a lot. I disturb a lot and people call me a drama queen but I do not care as far as I am getting the attention that I need. I would say that the social media has played an important role in my career.\n\u201cThe truth is that I am a drama queen and I accept the title. I am a drama queen everywhere because I do not like to be cheated. However, it does not mean that I am not submissive or I cannot be tamed. To tame a girl like me, the man would need about N500m and I would become a fool for love,\u201d Blessing said.\nThe actress who shot into the limelight with the movie, Omoge Lekki, told Saturday Beat that she was currently working on a movie, Unsane, and was ecstatic to speak about her recent project.\n\u201cThe movie, Unsane, is about a man who has medical issues but is unaware of it. Most times, he acts like an idiot; however, I would not want to say much about the movie other than to note that it is a fantastic piece of work which I believe would keep movie lovers glued to their seats all through. I did not make the movie title \u2013 Insane \u2013 because that has to do with someone who is not mentally stable. The main character of the movie is not about that but about someone who acts like a fool. I wanted a unique title and that is why I coined the word, Unsane,\u201d she said.",

        "raw_content": "Pesticide Exposure Damages Nervous System and Brain\nExposure to pesticides causes changes to rats\u2019 nervous systems, according to preliminary results of a project led by the Energy & Environmental Research Center (EERC) at the University of North Dakota (UND).\nThe project seeks to identify the dangers posed by pesticides, how exposure occurs, and ways to reduce pesticide-related human health risks.\nIn laboratory tests with rats, the researchers found that pesticide exposure caused changes in the same areas of the brain involved in multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, Parkinson\u2019s disease and Alzheimer\u2019s disease.\nPesticides can also cause severe damage to the gastrointestinal system and cause neurological dysfunction, the researchers said.\n-University of North Dakota, news release, HealthDay News\nDr. Keith and Laurie Nemec\u2019s comments on pesticide exposure damages nervous system, brain, and gastro-intestinal system.\nWhat this article showed was that pesticide exposure caused changes in rat studies in the same areas of the brain involved in multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, Parkinson\u2019s disease and Alzheimer\u2019s disease. They also found that pesticides can also cause severe damage to the gastro-intestinal system and cause neurological dysfunction. Many other studies have shown that pesticide exposure increases cancer risk and once you have been diagnosed with cancer the best choice is alternative cancer treatment. What we have to realize is that we are toxifying the world we live in with our toxic lifestyle.\nChemicals are being pumped into the air, the water, and the food. So the only way around this is a two fold answer. Number 1, try to change the laws, try to change the government to put more restrictions on the chemical produces that are toxifying the world. That is a much slower way, a way that we do need to adopt, but a way that we will not see the change immediately. The second fold of the two fold approach is to make personal changes in our life that will have immediate benefits. So let\u2019s look at where these pesticides and chemicals and toxins are coming from. Pesticides of course are sprayed not only on non organic food, fruits and vegetables, but also one of the highest sources of pesticides are just what\u2019s in your home, what you would be putting in your lawn and garden. So how can we minimize pesticides and all other chemicals? Well we have to look at the 3 sources, air, water and food. So, we\u2019ll look at air first? How can we make the purest air? Well we want to breath fresh air, we don\u2019t want to be exposed to chemical, it is very important we minimize chemical exposure.\nThe biggest source of chemicals in a day to day environment in breathing, is when we are inside buildings, and inside newer homes, or toxic chemical laden buildings. This is why the more we can open windows and get ventilation, the more we will minimize that risk. We can also use certain air purifiers, that are designed to detoxify chemicals in the air, and make it pure air (call the Institute for more information on the Fresh Air at 630-871-0000). The second is the water. And the way we are going to purify the water is by putting shower filters, like the Waterwise Shower Filter System on our showers so we do not absorb the chemical and toxins from the ground water and from the water being put into our body. Because we breathe in the water vapors, which chlorine gas is very toxic and we breathe it in in a standard 20 minute shower, we breathe in an excessive amount of chlorine and also we absorb 2-3 pounds of water in a 20 minute shower in through our skin, and again if this is non filtered water, this is toxicity entering the system, so we use Waterwise Filter System for the shower, and we can put carbon filtration systems for the whole house. I do not recommend drinking that water, but at least we\u2019re reducing the chemical load that would go on our hands, skin and going in the water that we use daily. And then as far as drinking water, we recommend steamed distilled post carbon filtered water for the purest water on the planet.\nAnd the Waterwise 8800 unit is one of the best on the market to do this. So we have fresh air, pure air, pure water now we want to get the chemicals out of the food. And this is pure living raw, organic plant based food. It is the purest food on the planet and it\u2019s the most health promoting on the planet in every way. It\u2019s the food that the planet started with in the beginning of creation and it\u2019s the food that will sustain this planet for the years to come. When we adopt a living, raw plant based lifestyle, not only do we bring the highest level of health to our bodies, minds and emotions from a dietary aspect, but also we promote the saving of the resources of the planet and the tremendous amount of waste and cost that is produced in promoting an animal food, animal diet lifestyle. This living, raw organic diet consists of vegetables, root vegetables, sea vegetables, sprouts, sprouted material, seeds, nuts, avocados, and legumes. All in the living, raw state. The more we cook, the more we kill, the more we destroy the two most important nutrients in the food which is the bioenergy and the enzymes. The bioenergy is the life in the food, and life brings forth life, and the enzymes are critical for biological functioning in the cells of the body. And the enzymes are denatured by any heat higher than 110\u00b0F. This heat destroys all enzyme activity. So when we cook food, even wonderful plant based food, we destroy the two most important nutrients, the bioenergy, and the enzymes. So if we adopt the 7 Basic Steps to Total Health lifestyle, we promote health at the highest level in body, mind, emotions and spirit.",

        "title": "Seychelles \u2013 Tourist Destinations",
        "raw_content": "Seychelles comprises of 115 tiny islands in Indian Ocean, off the East African coast neighboring Madagascar. Out of these islands, only a few of them are inhabited. During the colonial era, the Great Britain and France were in a dispute over the control of Seychelles. After Napoleonic wars in 1814, Britain assumed full control of the islands which later became independent in 1976. Free elections didn\u2019t happen until 1993 and since then the country\u2019s politics and elections have always fallen short of everyone\u2019s expectations. However, this shouldn\u2019t prevent you from going for a holiday vacation in the beautiful Seychelles beaches as tourists have never been a target.\nThe outer islands are coralline and uninhabited and tourists in these Seychelles are rare with travel only being facilitated by small local planes on a remote airstrip or through private yacht. The inner Seychelles are where majority of the population lives in the grant islands that houses most of the resorts in the country. Some of these islands are Mah\u2019e, Praslin, La Digue, Inner Corallines and Silhoutte Island. The capital city of Seychelles is Victoria which is the most developed and most visited city on the islands. Other cities include Anse Boileau, Anse Etoile, Anse Royale, Glacis, Beau Vallon, Takamaka and Cascade.\nSeychelles experiences a hot and humid climate but the refreshing sea beaches along the beach mitigate most of these heat. Seychellois Creole is the native language in Seychelles but other languages are also spoken such as French and English. Just as you would expect in a topical island, visiting the beaches is obviously the first order of business for a tourist in Seychelles. Most of the beaches here have breathtaking sceneries but not all are safe for swimming. Vallee de Mai national park is a world heritage site and houses amazing fauna and flora like the largest seed in the world.\nAldabra Atoll is the largest coral atoll in the world and was the original home for tiger sharks and giant land tortoise. Water sport activities are a key attraction for water enthusiasts. Ranging from windsurfing to fishing snorkeling and scuba diving, you can expect not to be bored during your trip to Seychelles. Land sports are also common here such as golf, squash, tennis, horseback riding, and badminton, hiking and biking along side other recreational activities. Nightlife in Seychelles is world class and Lovenut is a popular club built very close to the ocean.\nWhile Seychelles might not be a very dangerous to be, it is important that you avoid the dark lanes especially in the cities and always make sure your bag is attended. Also, when visiting isolated beaches, it is not advisable to swim alone. Most of the beaches are well manned by tourist police and you can always seek help from them if necessary. In Seychelles, there is a very common disease called Chikungunya virus which comes in flu- like symptoms and caused by mosquitoes. As such, make sure that you carry insect repellent to deter mosquitoes and avoid getting sick.",

        "raw_content": "1952 Ford Courier Review\nBy: Steve Nally, Photography by: Ellen Dewar\nFord Courier - it has a familiar name but this rare wagon beauty is a mere blip in America's automotive past.\nThink you know your cars? Then what's this stunning gold number? Alright, the badges and familiar front end give it away, it's a Ford, but what type of Blue Oval beauty?\nYou'd be forgiven for scratching your head because there are only three that we know of in Australia and Ford USA built just over 6000 of them the year this car was made, a miniscule amount in normal US production terms.\nStumped? It's a 1952 Ford Courier and Victoria's John Watson and his mates have done a beautiful restoration of this rare two-door model. \"It's an unusual car,\" admits Watson, who has done a lot of research into the origins of this little-known vehicle.\n\"They were commercial vehicles and also known as Sedan Deliveries but the Americans didn't make a lot of sedan-based commercials; all their pickups were one-tonners as distinct from our utes,\" he explains. \"Ford originally stopped producing them in 1946 and didn't make another one until 1952 when they started calling them Couriers. Ford also built two and four-door station wagons based on the same '52 body.\"\nNot that you would have been able to find a Courier in vehicle brochures at Ford dealers in 1952; they weren't listed. It was almost like Ford didn't want to sell them.\n\"Ford didn't know where to pigeon-hole them,\" Watson explains. \"There were only 6250 produced in 1952 and this car is very rare. Generally they were basic workhorses with a single bucket seat and no goodies. A lot were used as American postal vehicles.\n\"This car was produced - and I have a docket to confirm it - with a bench seat, automatic gearbox, V8 (many were sixes), factory heater and clock. A lot of people think it was hearse and don't realise it was built in the States. They think it was cobbled out of something here.\"\nWatson doesn't know if his car was actually used as a delivery vehicle but thinks that, because of its 'luxury' options, a businessman bought it and also used it privately. A lot were used by dry cleaners and Watson thinks his car may have been used to deliver clothes.\nNow semi-retired, Watson, 62, has been in the car industry most of his life, running dealerships and service stations. He's also been a lifelong Ford fancier and started building hot rods when he was 18. His first car was a 1958 Ford Anglia Convertible, which he bought for \u00a320 then spent three years restoring it so he could get his licence in it.\n\"When I started building hot rods they were plentiful and roadsters and coupes were my favourites,\" he says. \"I've always been interested in '30s Fords and I'm a foundation member of the Early Ford V8 Club, but it's only in the last 10 years that I've got involved in '50s Fords, which I find more suitable to drive in modern traffic.\"\nWatson reckons he's owned just about every model year Ford from 1932 and his garage also houses a '53 Ford Victoria, '54 Convertible and a '57 Thunderbird. He reckons the 'newest' old Ford he's owned was a 1964 Fairlane.\nBut the Courier has to be the rarest. After spotting it at a Ballarat swap meet in 2001 he went toe-to-toe with the owner over the price but he wouldn't budge. Not to be outdone, Watson kept in touch with him and finally wore him down, paying what he'd initially offered for the car six months earlier.\nWhat he bought was a complete car that had survived 14 years in an Arizona desert but virtually all its paint had been sandblasted off by natural weathering. As for the red devil, Watson reckons, \"There was more rust than I expected but less than there could have been.\" However, he says, \"Quarantine made a mess of the car. They hit it with steam cleaners and blew all the hood lining out and there were actually pressure washing marks on the paint, but it didn't matter because it all had to come to bits.\"\nThe Courier was deconstructed at Road Star Paint and the real condition of the body exposed. The rear three-quarter panel had a \"nasty ding in it\" and the rear door had to be repaired and some guttering and floor panels replaced, but that was the worst of it. John Robertson did a lot of the initial panel beating, realigning and refitting and John Kean also helped out with re-assembly.\n\"Other than that, the car was pretty sound, it just needed a lot of work. The sides and roof were in excellent condition, considering the car had sat out in the weather for so long; they are big areas (of metal) to make look good but they were good to start with.\"\nWatson credits Peter Hibbert with doing a lot of the early ground work on the car. \"Peter is a very good friend of mine and became involved in the restoration at an early stage. I was very busy and it looked like I was never going to get started so I handed the project to Peter and he put in a lot of time and effort sourcing parts and where to get work done. He had a lot to do with the early restoration work.\"\nWatson got his hands dirty too. \"To a certain extent; I can't paint and trim but I like to do mechanicals. I love disassembly and assembly and a major part of this car was in the assembly. I could have thrown it together but getting everything to fit properly is a different story; it's very time consuming.\n\"We stripped it completely, there is not a nut, bolt, screw, pin or washer that has not been replaced, retouched, repaired or refinished, even down to new brake drums. Because the Courier had 11-inch brake drums (sedans had 10-inch), they were basically unavailable so we had to source new brakes.\"\nThe left to right hand-drive conversion is seamless.\nMost of the body mouldings are original but finding badges in good condition was a nightmare. \"The Courier badges and the back door handle were the hardest things to find and both were purchased on Ebay; I was lucky to get them because they are very rare.\"\nWhile other original components, like lights, were on the car, they just weren't in concours condition and Watson trawled the internet for replacements.\n\"Everything has been replaced. We were fortunate enough to buy new old-stock taillight assemblies but the rear door handle is the result of three separate handles because they were really badly pitted, as was the bonnet emblem. The one-piece bumpers came from about four or five sets so we could take the best parts from each. And the shortened over-riders were peculiar to the Courier and the Wagon to allow the doors to open.\"\nThe sleek two-tone body, with its encrustations of glistening chrome and funky Fordomatic badge is painted in what Watson thinks is Ford Grecian Gold and cream but a metallic has been added to the factory tint to freshen it up and give it more life.\nThe chassis and running gear are painted black and the underbody is in body colour. The car was at Road Star for nearly 18 months and received \"a lot of coats\" of paint.\nThat long stretch of sheet metal behind the side windows was a prime spot for advertising, and a selling point at dealerships in 1952. Indeed, Watson is still tossing up whether to have his car signwritten, perhaps with the masthead of an old Ford dealer. He thinks that will make the car look less chunky.\nThe large cargo area was also a big selling point and the Courier has a capacity of 2888 litres and measures 1.98m from the back door to the seats.\nThe interior is as painstakingly authentic as the exterior and was retrimmed by David McBride Trimming which put in a new full length headlining and clothed the seats and door trims in new old-stock tan vinyl, continuing the two-tone colour scheme. The original instruments and valve radio were rebuilt and a replacement steering wheel found and reconditioned; Watson still has the worn original. In fact, if you're looking for Courier parts he's got \"boxes of stuff\".\nThe cargo area was recreated using old brochures and features a wooden floor with a hinged opening for the spare wheel. The side panels are timber and had full hood lining.\nAll the glass has been replaced with the exception of the rear door glass, which is as rare as hen's teeth. By the way, the side-opening rear door was unique to the Courier and offered a low, wide load aperture; another good selling feature.\nLike many other components on the Courier, Watson up-specced the original plain hub caps to the slicker optional '52 wheel trims and the car now runs whitewall radials instead of crossplies.\nThe reconditioned suspension is classic Ford; double wishbones, coils and shocks up front and semi-elliptical leaf springs and shocks at the rear but it still has king pins; ball joints arrived a few years later.\nUnder the expansive bonnet is the optional 239 cube, side-valve Stratostar V8, which was one of the last flathead Fords, originally introduced in 1932 and replaced by an overhead valve V8 in '54. It runs on unleaded and, with a two-barrel carby, makes a healthy 110hp (82kW), just 10 more than the standard straight six normally found in Couriers.\nIt's the original engine and was rebuilt from the sump up and probably makes a little more power now than when it was brand new. The dual exhaust was also a factory option in 1952 and Watson preferred it over a single system that was on the car, mainly for cosmetic reasons. The transmission is a 'two-on-the-tree' auto.\nRod Smith at Classic Wiring Looms did all the electricals and the car has been converted from six to 12 volts, again for improved safety (better lighting) and cold starting.\nWatson stopped counting dollars once the restoration zoomed past $50,000 and reckons the total is probably closer to $80,000. He says it would take a lot more to make him part with it.\nFinally finished in May, it had just 180 careful miles on the odo when Unique Cars photographed it. They were logged taking the car to its first Early Ford show, in Bendigo, where it won a major prize and attracted hordes of admirers.\nThe Courier drives like a new car, Watson says, which makes sense because it is like-new. \"It's very, very tight but it drives beautifully; there's not a rattle in it.\"\nAnd how did Watson feel when he drove it on its maiden run? \"Nervous. I didn't want to get it dirty or get any stone chips on it. But I'm very proud of the car, I'm like the biggest kid on the block when I drive it.\"\nBODY: two-door delivery wagon\nENGINE: 239ci (3.9-litre) side-valve V8\nPOWER: 110hp (82kW) @ 3800rpm\nTRANSMISSION: two-speed auto\nDIFF: Ford live rear axle, 3.54:1 CWP\nSUSPENSION: Double wishbones, coil springs, shocks (f), semi-elliptical springs, shocks (r)\nBRAKES: 11-inch drums (f & r)\nCOST: $80,000-plus",

We want to build on their experience of Auckland as an exciting holiday destination and encourage people to visit, stay longer and spend more,\u201d said Hill.\nAuckland\u2019s campaign will target domestic travellers in Waikato, Northland, the Bay of Plenty, Wellington and Canterbury using a TV commercial, online media and a range of accommodation and activity deals on aucklandnz.com.\nThe campaign has been developed following market research across New Zealand.\n\u201cThe research shows Auckland is perceived as a diverse, vibrant and buzzing city with lots to see and do. However like any big city, some people are concerned that it might be intimidating or unwelcoming \u2013 and the campaign aims to knock those concerns on the head,\u201d said Hill.\n\u201cIt\u2019s about highlighting the diversity of Auckland including our inspiring cuisine, the world-class shopping, the spectacular events and stunning natural playground that is Auckland,\u201d he added.\nAuckland\u2019s Mayor, Len Brown said he hoped the campaign would broaden the city\u2019s appeal.\n\u201cThere\u2019s so much more to Auckland than people realise and a lot has changed and developed in the last few years. We want more people to come to Auckland and experience it first-hand,\u201d Mayor Brown said.\nATEED\u2019s domestic tourism campaign is the first stage of a long-term tourism drive.\nAuckland opens cruise terminal\nAuckland partners Flight Centre to draw more Aussies",

        "title": "Irony: Canada Has Deported 2,000 North Koreans Since 2013 | TrigTent World News",
        "raw_content": "Irony: Canada Has Deported 2,000 North Koreans Since 2013\nCanadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has incessantly prided himself on his government\u2019s unofficial mantra: diversity is strength. Yet, apparently the Trudeau government doesn\u2019t assign any special status to North Koreans, who it\u2019s easy to argue have the most legitimate claim to refugee status of any people in the world currently.\nAn Al Jazeera report claims that approximately 2,000 North Korean defectors have reported either being deported or leaving Canada of their own volition since the government began a pattern of removing North Koreans who lied on their asylum application forms in 2013. Meanwhile, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) claims only 165 documented \u2018removals\u2019 of North Koreans from the nation, opening the possibility that the vast majority have taken the initiative to leave the country before the authorities force them out. There\u2019s also a chance that the numbers are lower than the report claims, but regardless, Trudeau and his government have some explaining to do.\nIt\u2019s not like this is a new issue that the government hasn\u2019t had the opportunity to address. The deportation process began over four years ago, so it seems hard to deny that a) Trudeau himself has not been aware of the issue and b) that this is not, on some level, a conscious choice.\nAnd, it must be mentioned that Trudeau is not alone in deserving blame for the policy. After all, he was sworn in as Prime Minister in 2015, meaning that the previous Conservative government under PM Stephen Harper deserves to take heat as well. Much of the criticism that is being levied against Trudeau can be equally applied to Harper and his administration. That said, Trudeau must understand that his hyper-vocal stance on being an all-accepting nation has opened him up to even greater criticism than the man before him, who initially oversaw this inexplicable deportation practice.\nTrudeau's public immigration stances, whether in speeches or on Twitter, are what makes the whole issue so perplexing. How could a prime minister and a Liberal government that has gone out of its way to embrace \u2018diversity\u2019 \u2013 Trudeau has cozied up publically to Muslims, Sikhs, the gay community, and virtually anybody not claiming Caucasian ancestry \u2013 be so callous toward those lucky enough to flee North Korea and reach Canada?\nEither Trudeau is woefully tone deaf as to how bad rejecting North Koreans from their adopted country looks, or he is inexplicably out of touch with an issue \u2013 immigration \u2013 which he has made one of the centerpieces of his government\u2019s policy and identity.\nEven though the defectors will be sent back to South Korea, a nation that is known for granting citizenship to those who escape from its northern neighbor, North Koreans are looked down upon as lesser, potential spies even.\nConsider the case of Taegun Kim, who received a notice recently informing him, along with 150 other North Koreans living in Canada, that he is facing deportation because of a lie he told 11 years ago in order to successfully reach a country where he would be given a fair shot at survival and happiness.\nKim has admitted to lying on his application, writing that he had defected to China instead of South Korea, a detail he believed would make it easier for him to reach Canada. But, over a decade since he touched down on Canadian soil, Kim is facing the reality of uprooting a family and life that represents the ideal of assimilation.\n\u2018Taegun Kim, who arrived in Canada 11 years ago with his wife and family, is on the deportation list. The couple has had two more children since they left North Korea \u2014 they are Canadian citizens. But the family will be split asunder if Kim and the members of his family not born in Canada are sent back.\n\u201cThat notice means death to me,\u201d Kim told Al Jazeera News. \u201cI came all the way here for a better life and my family is well adjusted to life in Canada. To think we\u2019re going to be separated, it breaks my heart.\u201d\u2019 (Daily Caller via Al Jazeera)\n(You can see more of his story, with accompanying video, here)\nThis sort of splitting of families is not only callous, especially if Trudeau is aware of such specific, heart-wrenching examples of desperate refugees who have found happiness in Canada. It\u2019s made worse by the fact that Trudeau has so often and so publically branded himself as a welcomer of refugees of all shades, ethnicities, religions. He has been especially vocal about defending refugees and asylum seekers of Muslim faith, including former ISIS fighters, who he\u2019s compared to Greek and Italian immigrants. He\u2019s even enacted laws that are, to most, clearly aimed at silencing those who assert that Middle Eastern immigrants are resistant to true assimilation.\nWhen you talk a big game about being a haven for those who are fleeing the worst kinds political and ethnic persecution worldwide, it\u2019s not going to sit well when you either ignore or sanction the deportation of North Koreans, regardless of the circumstances.\n\u2018To those fleeing persecution, terror & war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith. Diversity is our strength #WelcomeToCanada\u2019 \u2013Justin Trudeau, Twitter\nAnd, it\u2019s not as if North Koreans are damaging the Canadian economy or social structure. Contrarily, as the case of Kim illustrates, they are grateful to Canada and more than happy to assimilate. The fact that they can\u2019t effectively assimilate in a nation like South Korea is a large part of the reason they seek refuge in a nation like Canada to begin with.\n\u201cI\u2019ve been living in Canada doing my own business and I\u2019ve been settled down for a long time. And my friends here also, they also settled down well,\u201d Kim said. \u201cWe North Korean defectors are doing our best for our country, doing our work.\u201d\nConsider the suspicion which North Koreans constantly face in South Korea, due only to the notorious reputation of a government they were brave enough to flee.\n\u2018(Refugee Hyekyung) Jo added that while in South Korea, her husband was under investigation for espionage, a distressing situation that makes returning to the peninsula even bleaker, she said. Kang, 36, currently supports his family as a sushi chef.\u2019 (Toronto Star)\nYet, the Canadian government continues to ignore the hardship and alienation that often results from being a North Korean living in South Korea, or the damage that splitting a family up or uprooting the lives of Canadian-born children inflicts. They continue to qualify South Korea as a \u2018safe haven\u2019 for North Korean asylum seekers in order to justify deporting them. While technically true, the social alienation and proximity to North Korea mean that life in South Korea and Canada cannot be equated in any genuine way.\nOstracism and investigation aren\u2019t even the crux of why deportation by the Canadian government is unjustifiable.\n'The refugees say South Korea is definitely not safe for them as North Korean spies can track them down.\n\"If we're found by the North Korean government, our family left in North Korea will be executed or sent to a labour camp,\" Kim said.' (Al Jazeera)\nThe term \u2018safe\u2019 is broad. It\u2019s relative.\nThe term \u2018happy\u2019 is easier to pin down. And, a happy life is what Canada provides that South Korea cannot for these dissidents who have already escaped unimaginable circumstances bestowed upon them through birth.\nFurther, criticism does not come out of general political disagreement with Trudeau. China gets criticized for routinely sending North Koreans back to their home country when discovered, for good reason. Should it come to light that President Trump was knowingly overseeing the deportation of North Koreans after so routinely criticizing the ills of their existence on the Korean Peninsula, you better believe he would draw allegations of hypocrisy and callousness, too.\nBut Justin Trudeau hasn\u2019t just criticized the likes of North Korea. He whipped out his Twitter fingers to bash Donald Trump without hesitation, claiming that his nation \u2013 Canada \u2013 was one that defied the supposedly close-minded immigration policies of the Trump administration.\nOnly, when a true case of asylum arises \u2013 what else could North Koreans qualify as? \u2013 Trudeau has either ignored the issue, remained inexplicably ignorant of its happening, or sanctioned the deportations and climate that have led to North Korean flight.\nNot for a matter of months, or even a year. This is a four-year-old phenomenon.\nIronically, it\u2019s possible, if not likely, that many of those North Koreans have fled south, sensing that the American government may be more sympathetic to their cause. It\u2019s speculative, but very much plausible.\nSo, next time Justin Trudeau sends out a Tweet, alters his nation\u2019s national anthem to be gender inclusive, or brags about how open-minded and accepting his government is toward all people, it\u2019s only right that he be reminded of the North Koreans being torn from their freshly-laid roots in Canada.",

        "title": "Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy to retire at end of July",
        "raw_content": "Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy to retire at end of July\nJustice Anthony Kennedy , a conservative who provided key votes for same sex-marriage, abortion access and affirmative action, will retire from the Supreme Court.\nThe nomination battle will likely ignite a firestorm on Capitol Hill as it comes just a year after Republicans changed the rules of the Senate in order to push through the nomination of Justice Neil Gorsuch, Trump's first nominee.\nRead Justice Anthony Kennedy's retirement letter to President Trump https://t.co/ayuwi97MR2 pic.twitter.com/xlWFrpWZaB\nTrump said he has held Kennedy in high esteem, and that a search for a replacement will begin immediately.\n\"He's been a great justice of the Supreme Court,\" Trump said, later adding, \"He is a man who's displayed great vision, he's displayed tremendous vision.\"\nTrump and Kennedy met shortly before the announcement was made.\n\"(We) had a very deep discussion. I got his ideas on things,\" Trump said in the Oval Office. \"I asked him if he had certain people he had great respect for that could potentially take his seat.\"\nSenate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who blocked President Barack Obama's nomination of Merrick Garland in 2016 until the presidential election was held, paving the way for Gorsuch, said the Senate will move quickly.\n\"We will vote to confirm Justice Kennedy's successor this fall,\" McConnell said Wednesday.\nRecalling McConnell's action, Illinois Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin called for a delay until after the midterm elections this fall.\n\"Sen. McConnell set the new standard by giving the American people their say in the upcoming election before Court vacancies are filled,\" Durbin said in a statement. \"With so much at stake for the people of our country, the US Senate must be consistent and consider the President's nominee once the new Congress is seated in January.\"\nKennedy, 81, controlled the outcome of cases on hot-button issues like no other justice in recent history, as he often was the \"swing vote\" between the four liberal justices and the four more conservative justices.\nA Ronald Reagan appointee who took the bench in 1988, Kennedy's most lasting legacy will most likely be in the area of gay rights. In 2015, in it was Kennedy who penned Obergefell v. Hodges, the landmark opinion that cleared the way for same-sex marriage nationwide.\n\"They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law and the Constitution grants them that right,\" Kennedy wrote.\nPersonal dignity and liberty are constant themes in Kennedy's jurisprudence as well as the limitation of federal power over the sovereignty of the states.\nKennedy disliked the label of \"swing vote,\" but he did side with his conservative colleagues on issues such as campaign finance, gun control and voting rights. He also cast a vote with conservatives in Bush v. Gore, the 2000 case on disputed electoral results that cleared the way for the presidency of George W. Bush.\nKennedy authored the majority opinion in Citizens United v. FEC striking down election spending limits for corporations and unions in support of individual candidates -- an opinion that liberals and Democrats on the campaign trail vowed to overturn.\nTo the dismay of conservatives, however, he joined the liberals on the court in other areas.\nKennedy voted to reaffirm the core holding of Roe v. Wade in 1992, only to vote to uphold a federal ban on a particular abortion procedure in 2007.\nNine years later, he sided once again with the liberals on the court to strike down a Texas law that abortion rights supporters thought was the strictest nationwide. Without Kennedy's vote, the law would have been allowed to go into effect, inspiring other states to pass similar legislation.\nIn the same term, Kennedy pivoted on the issue of affirmative action when he voted for the first time in favor of a race- conscious admissions plan at a public university.\nAfter that term, former acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal said, \"It is very much Justice Kennedy's court.\"\n\"You can't understand how important his affirmative action opinion is without understanding his earlier jurisprudence,\" Katyal said. \"For decades, he has been the court's most eloquent voice on the need to be color blind -- why he changed his mind is something historians will debate for decades.\"\nKennedy also wrote the decision striking down the death penalty for juvenile offenders in Roper v. Simmons.\nHe reflected on his role in close decisions in a 2010 interview.\n\"If the case is close 5-4 and let's say you are on the side that prevailed with the majority, there are not a lot of high-fives and back slaps. There is a moment of quiet, a moment of respect, maybe even sometimes awe in the process. We realize that one of us is going to have to write out a decision which teaches and gives reasons for what we do.\"\nTrump Wednesday said he would select a replacement from the list of possible justices that he released during his campaign.\n\"We have a very excellent list of great, talented, highly educated, highly intelligent, hopefully tremendous people,\" he said in the Oval Office. \"I think you see the kind of quality that we're looking at when we look at that list.\"\nPossible top-tier candidates include Judge Brett Kavanaugh of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit and Judge Raymond M. Kethledge of the 6th US Circuit Court of Appeals, who are both former clerks of Kennedy. Judge Thomas Hardiman of the 3rd Circuit was interviewed by the President as a runner-up for the Antonin Scalia seat.\nAlso in the mix are individuals who Trump has already nominated for lower court seats. That includes Judges Amul Thapar and Joan Larsen, who sit on the 6th Circuit. Thapar has the support of Senate GOP leader McConnell.\nAnother potential is Amy Coney Barrett, who Trump nominated for a seat on the 7th Circuit.\nAnd a wildcard is Utah GOP Sen. Mike Lee, a conservative who was on Trump's list.\nAsked if he'd be interested in the job Wednesday, Lee noted that he \"started watching Supreme Court arguments for fun when I was 10 years old.\"\n\"I would not say no,\" Lee said.\nAlthough for many years Kennedy served as the most important vote on the court, he was only the third choice of President Reagan in 1987. The Senate rejected Robert Bork after contentious hearings.\nJudge Douglas Ginsburg dropped out after admitting he had smoked marijuana when he served as a law professor for Harvard.\nBut Reagan praised his choice when he introduced him to the country, calling Kennedy \"that special kind of American who's always been there when we needed leadership.\"\nLike Reagan, Kennedy lived his early life in California. He was a Catholic who was raised in a Republican family in Sacramento, and attended Stanford and Harvard Law School.\nKennedy is married to Mary Davis, and has three adult children.",

        "title": "Notes The Wedding/The Chalk Cross/ The Beggar \u2014 TUTA Theatre",
        "raw_content": "NOTES ON OLD BRECHT PLAYS AND NEW WORLD ORDERS\nWe have sat an easy generation\nIn-we think-indestructible houses\nThus we built Manhattan's tall boxes\nAnd thin antennae to entertain the seas\nOf those cities will remain the wind that passed through them\nThe house makes glad the eater: he clears it out.\nWe know we're only temporary tenants\nAnd after us comes: nothing worth talking about\nThus read the lines which we have adapted from the 1925 poem \"Of Poor B.B.\" written by Brecht in 1925, two years after he wrote his ferocious farce The Wedding and his curious piece of theatre poetry about annihilation The Beggar. It is also written eight years before the Nazi ascent to power, 1933, which is the year in which he and Margarete Steffin set his play on the totalitarian mind-set The Chalk Cross, from the cycle of plays about fascism called Fear and Misery in the Third Reich. At the time the poem was written, such sentiments might be all too easily ascribed to a \"nihilistic sensibility,\" a reader of Nietzsche and poetic advocate of Villon and Rimbaud, whose ballad play Baal is described by one of the characters in The Wedding as \"unadulterated filth\" and \"that new writing ... tearing down family life, which we Germans [.....]\" In fact, there is an uncanny prophetic element to much of Brecht's early poetry, which foreshadows what was at that time the unimaginable decimation of World War II, and the nuclear age. On the one hand this might be attributable to the fact that, prior to becoming a Marxist, Brecht did not put human beings at the center of the universe, leading to his own sort of nihilist mysticism (Although as Max Frisch wrote of him, he was always a \"poet without incense\"). The same perspective is found in the plays. Yet there is a social component here. The plays show human beings busy making choices. Often bad ones. There are no morals to these stories. In fact, these plays are full of stories which are too paradoxical to interpret, they show human relations as microcosms of society in which ego, vanity, pride, and the compulsion for power win out. This is perhaps why the great playwright and Brecht student, Heiner Muller, before he died, was advocating a return to the early works of Brecht as works which could speak to our present without moralizing .\nThe Chalk Cross comes the closest to theatrical \"realism\" as any play in this cluster. Yet it portrays a surreal, Kafka-like situation in terms of the individual up against social powers that are bigger than him. Curiously, in this piece which describes the insidious onset of fascism in Germany-in which people have to play roles out of self preservation until they begin \"living\" those roles-is a remarkable study of the dynamics of totalitarianism of all kinds, of left or right (Whether or not this was Brecht and Steffin's original intention). It is there that it gets its prophetic power. The end of the so called \"cold war\" is not the end of this tendency in human societies. Our journey then begins with this chilling autopsy of a dead society, and works its way backwards to the festival of egos portrayed in farcical style in The Wedding: a battle of inflated moralism fighting with nihilistic decadence in which the center has ceased to hold for society. We then proceed perhaps backwards in time, or perhaps forward in time, to a great military conquest in which everything is laid waste, and the conqueror uses a beggar to reflect on his own greatness only to discover the emptiness of political power. If there is a note of redemption, it comes from the diversity of human voices, each singing from their spiritual core in their own tongues, mingling in the air of this existence. Djukic finds the spare, minimalist white and grey crosses of Malevich extraordinarily moving. Such crosses may signify a final destination. They also signify redemption, crossroads, resurrection, a new life.\nAugust 14th this year marked the 40th anniversary of Brecht's death. The work of Brecht and his close collaborators were profoundly shaped by the events of the first half of the century?and have affected the arts, in return, just as profoundly: from Jean Luc-Goddard in film, to David Bowie in Rock n' Roll, from Edward Bond as a dramatist, to the theatrical design concepts of Robert Wilson, the impact is as strong as ever. But the content of this huge corpus of work is now beginning to show new facets. The early works, with their apocalyptic tones, and satirical incisiveness, have proven to be prophetic in several ways. It may be high time to explore them again. Zeljko Djukic has made his choice not simply to honor Brecht 40 years after his passing-but as an artist who had worked in both Belgrade and Sarajevo, before being compelled to leave his country behind as it descended into the maw of relentless, ruthless mutual destruction dictated by intolerant nationalism and self-aggranmdizement at the expense of others. These plays provide an incisive medium for exploring these pressing problems. Passing backwards over our devastating century may be the only way to get a perspective on the challenges we, as human beings, are preparing for ourselves. Human nature, by itself, promises nothing. All hope lies in learning more about ourselves: about the animalistic and \"all to human\" quest for power in the world; the domination of politics by ego; the way to end the need for murder by embracing rather than fighting all that is different from us.",

        "title": "Canned Heat | uDiscover",
        "raw_content": "Canned Heat, the band whose motto was \u201cDon\u2019t forget to boogie\u201d, were in danger of being forgotten after enjoying a terrific heyday in the 1960s and early 1970s when their brand of honest, raw and integrity packed blues rock had made them perennial festival favourites and ensured they sold big on a string of classic albums and a handful of singles \u2013 \u201cOn The Road Again\u201d, \u201cGoing Up The Country\u201d and \u201cLet\u2019s Work Together\u201d \u2013 that are now being revaluated and enjoyed. Core members Alan \u201cBlind Owl\u201d Wilson, \u201cBob \u201cThe Bear\u201d Hite, Larry \u201cThe Mole\u201d Taylor, Henry \u201cThe Sunflower\u201d Vestine and Fito \u201cCats Eyes\u201d De La Parra specialised in psych trippy R&B that was graced with the individual members insane musical ability. Wilson was recognised as the prime exponent of chromatic harmonica during his all too short lifetime while Hite was no slouch on that instrument either and also bossed the vocal mic. Wilson and Vestine shared electric and acoustic guitar duties with equal panache and the rhythm section of De La Parra and Taylor maintained a hypnotic beat. Archetypal anti-heroes of the hippy era Canned Heat endured awful luck and personal tragedy. Wilson and Hite died much too young and Vestine also perished in sad circumstances. Although their badass exploits are so legendary that we\u2019re hardly telling tales out of school when we refer to the band\u2019s prodigious use of illicit substances and over indulgence in alcohol, Canned Heat are not defined by the unfortunate episodes that marred their progress; rather they seem strengthened by adversity and emerge as cursed survivors. We love their music, especially the classic era discs that span 1965 origins onwards, and will include acclaimed outings with John Lee Hooker. Their live albums are also celebrations of the blues form and for those who are curious enough to test the waters there are several high-class compilations to start that process.\nAlthough they came together in the crucible of Topanga Canyon and recorded in Los Angeles Canned Heat weren\u2019t entirely a product of the Californian dream. Alan Wilson gravitated West from Boston with his friend, sometime mentor and fellow musicologist John Fahey, both men sharing a devout love for the blues of Skip James, Son House, Charley Patton and Tommy Johnson, the man whose song \u201cCanned Heat\u201d \u2013 a woe filled warning to those poor folks who drank the cheap ethanol the title referred to \u2013 would give them their name.\nBob Hite was another avid music collector with unmatched taste whose travels through the Deep South in search of vintage vinyl allowed him to amass an unmatched and priceless warehouse full of important 78s. Vestine was also well versed in the blues and had played briefly in an early incarnation of The Mothers of Invention. Legend has it that Frank Zappa asked him to leave because Henry was too freaky! That may be apocryphal but it probably isn\u2019t since Vestine was a very drastic and somewhat unhinged individual, but still a mighty guitarist.\nEarliest recordings were made with Johnny Otis in 1965, blues standards all. At that time the rhythm section was Frank Cook on drums, more of a jazz cat really, and Avant Garde bassist Stuart Brotman who hung around for the sessions before departing to join Kaleidoscope. He was replaced by future Spirit stalwart Mark Andes. The young Canned Heat Blues Band, a jug ensemble with a lot more going on besides, played at the Human Be-In in 1966.\nManagers Skip Taylor and John Hartmann left the William Morris Agency \u2013 West Coast branch, to look after the group once Skip had seen them mesmerise a crowd at a UCLA frat party where they co-headlined with The Doors. In June 1967 Canned Heat were a big hit at the Monterey Pop Festival (June 17) and Down Beat magazine decided they had seen the future of white blues genius is the shape of Wilson and Vestine. Part of their set is available to view on D.A. Pennebaker\u2019s documentary of the event so seeing is believing.\nTheir first album proper, simply Canned Heat (1967) was produced by Cal Carter and followed the formula of only playing blues covers. Signed to Liberty Records Canned Heat suffered the first of their long line of internally afflicted disasters when they were busted in Denver, Colorado and made the local news for all the wrong reasons.\nBut that debacle began to lend them the outlaw chic that was both a boon \u2013 in that they attracted a hard-core biker crowd \u2013 and a liability once record company execs came face to face with their entourage.\nThe actual album is wonderful with excellent versions of \u201cRollin\u2019 and Tumblin\u2019\u201d (Muddy Waters), \u201cDust My Broom\u201d (Robert Johnson/Elmore James) and a lengthy take on Robert Petway\u2019s \u201cCatfish Blues\u201d that gives them their boogie on template.\nWhile this album sold well enough in California it was the ensuing Boogie with Canned Heat that rewarded them with household name status in 1968 since it featured original material like Alan Wilson\u2019s reworking of Floyd Jones\u2019 \u201cOn the Road Again\u201d: that went top ten. With guests Dr. John and Sunnyland Slim adding piano (Dr. John also gets the credit for his horn arrangements) this record became an ultra hip artefact of the time and sold well in Europe as well in America.\nW ith Larry Taylor and Fito de la Parra now holding down the backbeat they went from strength to strength on the double Living the Blues (1968), Wilson again hitting pay dirt with his brilliant \u201cGoing Up the Country\u201d intoned in his trademark spectral falsetto. This song would become the unofficial anthem of the Woodstock festival the following year. Side one of this epic item is comprised of formally perfect blues but the second side soars away on a suite called \u201cParthenogenesis\u201d, rollicking, psychedelic and exciting, and then offers another 40 minutes plus of Canned Heat live at the Kaleidoscope, Hollywood (they were that club\u2019s house band for most of 1968), blowing up a storm on their \u201cRefried Boogie (Parts 1 & 2).\nAgain the specialists are top notch. Jazz Crusader Joe Sample is on piano, Dr. John struts his stuff, John Fahey adds guitar and John Mayall delivers some crisp keyboards. Most striking of all is the double tracked flute played by Jim Horn on \u201cGoing Up the Country\u201d that helps give this classic single an immediately euphoric impact.\nHallelujah (1969) and Future Blues are progressive blues discs of the first order and cry out to be discovered today. Vestine left after the former but was replaced by another mercurial guitarist in Harvey Mandel. Hallelujah contains Canned Heat favourites like Wilson\u2019s \u201cGet Off My Back\u201d and Hite\u2019s anti-cop anthem \u201cSic \u2018em Pigs\u201d, while \u201cFuture Blues\u201d returns them to the charts thanks to a spirited reworking of Wilbert Harrison\u2019s \u201cLet\u2019s Work Together\u201d which is arguably the definitive reading of this often covered tune. Dr. John was on hand for the third album running and the Heat hombres also came to the production fore with Skip Taylor, revealing a more sophisticated sound that boded well for the new decade.\nJust as they should have become massive however Canned Heat were dismayed by Wilson\u2019s death in 1970. On the eve of a prestigious return to Europe for a German engagement and then England to play at Hyde Park Wilson\u2019s body was found in the undergrowth of Hite\u2019s Topanga home. The Heat had already been seen on British shores earlier in the year at the Bath Festival and many who witnessed their performance rated them at the zenith of blues-rock, and this during the era when the revival of that form was all the rage.\nFor confirmation of their ranking check out Canned Heat \u201970 Live in Europe, recorded at London\u2019s Royal Albert Hall and other UK venues; a five star summary of some of their work, it\u2019s only too bad it isn\u2019t a double disc or more. What you get to hear is Wilson\u2019s slide guitar skill, Hite at his vocal peak and Mandel\u2019s splintering lead. The Taylor/De La Parra axis also holds the centre together brilliantly on \u201cThat\u2019s All Right Mama\u201d, \u201cLondon Blues\u201d and the dizzy \u201cBack Out on the Road\u201d medley.\nHooker\u2019n\u2019Heat (1971) still features Alan Wilson, albeit posthumously. Another double album, this time helmed by Bob Hite, it dates back to Wilson\u2019s final spring and is an evocative and poignant document that allows the great John Lee Hooker room to do his thing while the Heat cook behind him. It was also John Lee\u2019s first charting disc, reaching #78 on the Billboard Hot 100.\nRave reviews for Hooker\u2019n\u2019Heat were obviously tempered by despair at Wilson\u2019s demise: aged 27 he became yet another victim of that particular number \u2013 Brian Jones, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Gram Parsons, Tim Buckley and Kurt Cobain being other members of that unfortunately blighted club.\nBut maintaining their usual the show must go on work ethic Canned Heat regroup for Historical Figures and Ancient Heads with new personnel and the returning Vestine. The title references the way the band saw themselves in late 1971 \u2013 as known musicians who might be about to drop off the radar. There was a prescient moodiness in the fringes that backed this notion up but The New Age (1973) located their more optimistic gene with Hite returning to the songwriting chair.\nFor a career overview we recommend that the interested listener discovers Let\u2019s Work Together: The Best of Canned Heat where you get to hear them in \u2018classic\u2019 line-up. Also Uncanned! The Best of Canned Heat which features a much longer and unreleased alternate take of \u201cOn the Road Again\u201d as well as gems from the catalogue such as \u201cHuman Condition\u201d, \u201cAn Owl Song\u201d and \u201cAmphetamine Annie\u201d.\nNot so much maligned, more overlooked or consigned to the history books it\u2019s now blindingly apparent that Canned Heat were the equal of many of their more successful peers and a damn sight better than most of them.

        "raw_content": "End & Means\nPeople often talk about \"the end justifying the means,\" where the \"means\" are a series of actions and resolves that have resulted in whatever \"end\" they happen to be considering. But our \"End\" is a Person who literally justified our approach to Him; our \"means\" are now meant to be His own perfect actions and resolves. To be called by Jesus, then to be saved by Jesus, means walking with Jesus, means necessarily to begin to walk like Jesus. The interconnection of elements is supposed to be a thing of awe, of glory.\nActs 2:43-47 - \"Everyone felt a deep sense of awe, while many miracles and signs took place through the apostles. All the believers shared everything in common; they sold their possessions and goods and divided the proceeds among the fellowship according to individual need. Day after day they met by common consent in the Temple; they broke bread together in their homes, sharing meals with simple joy. They praised God continually and all the people respected them. Every day the Lord added to their number those who were finding salvation.\"\nImplacable Grandeur\n\u201cFor if there is a sin against life, it lies perhaps less in despairing of it than in hoping for another life and evading the implacable grandeur of the one we have.\u201d\nAlbert Camus, Lyrical and Critical Essays\nSufferings, Mercy & Compassion\n\"For our example of the patient endurance of suffering we can take the prophets who have spoken in the Lord\u2019s name. Remember that it is usually those who have patiently endured to whom we accord the word \u201cblessed!\u201d You have heard of Job\u2019s patient endurance and how God dealt with him in the end, and therefore you have seen that the Lord is merciful and full of understanding pity for us men.\" James 5:10,11\nThat's probably the most casual reference to the sufferings of Job in all the scriptures: \"You've heard about Job, right? See, that worked out...\"\nBut, seriously, as we read through both these verses, as we consider the Greek subject-words in all three sentences - \"suffering,\" \"patience,\" \"blessed,\" \"endured,\" \"endurance,\" \"outcome,\" \"full of tender mercy\" and \"compassionate\" - we have to remember two important things:\n1. The unbelievable, real-time pressure James' original readers were under because of Jesus, because of belief in Him\n2. The fact that we are now pretty soft\nFor us - and let's be honest! - much of what we often call \"suffering\" is just things not going our way. (And, please, understand me: I'm well aware that many of us have dealt with tragedy before; that we've seen our share of true suffering.) But \"things not going my way\" was certainly not what James' readers were thinking when they read these words...\nMany of those people would live the remainder of their lives, after meeting Jesus, with the strong possibility of death-for-Him hanging over every day of their daily experience. They woke like that; worked like that; raised children like that; had friendships like that; and, most importantly, worshipped like that. And so, in the midst of their sufferings, in the midst of our oftentimes pseudo-sufferings, what is James saying to keep our hearts and minds trained upon?\nIn the Greek, the \"tender mercy\" and \"compassion\" of his brother, Jesus.\nWe are to keep those attributes right in front of our face, like, \"I know He's merciful; I know He's compassionate; so I know I can trust Him to the end.\"\nExistence/Preeminence\n\"So Naaman went down and dipped himself in the Jordan seven times, as the man of God had told him, and his flesh was restored and became clean like that of a young boy. Then he and all his attendants went back to the man of God. He stood before him and said, 'Now I know that there is no God in all the world except in Israel...'\" 2 Kings 5:14,15a\nA thought to keep in front of us: What if our daily life could prove to be a proof of both the existence of, and the preeminence of, our God?\nHis Very Breath\n\u201cHe \u2018breathed on them and said, \u201cReceive the Holy Spirit\u201d\u2019 (John 20:22). This was the beginning of Pentecost, but not its fullness. It is from the lips of Jesus that we must ever receive the fullness of the Comforter, even as His very breath. He waits to breathe on each of us, as often as He touches us, the fresh anointing of the very same Spirit who dwelt in Him and who comes to us colored, softened, sweetened by His indwelling in the blessed Jesus and as the very Spirit of Jesus. This is our power, and this power we must receive by appropriating faith.\u201d\nSpeech & Action\nRemember: What we speak generally says what we know. It's our actions that, most of the time, most clearly say what we believe.\nDazzled By Him\n\u201c[Bishop Bienvenu] was then alone with himself, contemplative, peaceful, adoring, comparing the serenity of his heart with that of the ether, affected in the darkness by the visible splendor of the constellations, and the invisible splendor of God, and opening his soul to thoughts which fall from the unknown. At such moments, offering up his heart at the hour when the nocturnal flowers offer up their perfumes, he could not have said himself, possibly, what was passing in his mind; but he felt something fly out of him and something descend into him\u2026 He dreamed of the grandeur and presence of God\u2026 He did not study God; he was dazzled by Him.\u201d\nVictor Hugo, Les Miserables \u200b\nThen people began to bring babies to him so that he could put his hands on them. But when the disciples noticed it, they frowned on them. But Jesus called them to him, and said, \u201cYou must let little children come to me, and you must never prevent their coming. The kingdom of God belongs to little children like these. I tell you, the man who will not accept the kingdom of God like a little child will never get into it at all.\u201d Luke 18:15-17\nNow that\u2019s a big statement; certainly one that bids us pause to consider the lives and lifestyle of \u201clittle children.\u201d (And while I was pondering that exact thought, my three-year-old son woke up and came to join me in the kitchen. So, for the next 20ish minutes, I simply watched him and wrote down everything he happened to do.) Here\u2019s a list of attributes that might help us and lead us in our intimacy with Jesus\u2026\nWoke up immediately looking for dad\nGets into dad\u2019s lap and nestles in\nAsks for the first thing that crosses his mind (in this case, a cup of milk, or \u201cnilk,\u201d as he prefers to pronounce it)\nGoes off to the next thing that occurs to him\nContinually asks for exactly what he wants\nPlays with complete concentration\nShows dad exactly what he\u2019s playing at (about six times in 20 minutes)\nRuns in with a smile to see \u201cwhat\u2019re you doing, daddy?\u201d\nGoes after real delight in all he\u2019s doing\nDoes a ridiculous little dance, suddenly\nExpects that a meal will be forthcoming shortly and, sometimes, remembers to say \u201cthank you\u201d\nSays \u201cI love you, daddy\u201d as it suddenly occurs to him\nWants to go outside and run wild\nHas no sense of time and certainly not of timeliness or hurrying\nSmiles, with eyes twinkling, about nothing in particular\nSays what he\u2019s feeling when he feels it\nMakes his needs known\nWants to relate the dream he had in the night\nIs amazed when something new happens\nTrying to \"reason our way to God\" is asking the infinite immensity of all He is to squeeze into the limited finite housing of our mind and mental processes. An honest reasoning has to be prepared to allow one's mind to open out into that immensity: out where the mysteries lives in His glory. And that's precisely what we're invited to do as recipients of the Holy Spirit.\nLiving Him\n\u200bThat we may see Thee,\nJoshua spoke to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh [before crossing the Jordan], saying, \u201cRemember the word which Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you, saying, \u2018Yahweh your God gives you rest, and will give you this land. Your wives, your little ones, and your livestock, shall live in the land which Moses gave you beyond the Jordan; but you shall pass over before your brothers armed, all the mighty men of valor, and shall help them until Yahweh has given your brothers rest, as he has given you, and they have also possessed the land which Yahweh your God gives them. Then you shall return to the land of your possession, and possess it, which Moses the servant of Yahweh gave you beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise.\u2019\u201d\nThey answered Joshua, saying, \u201cAll that you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go. Just as we listened to Moses in all things, so will we listen to you. Only may Yahweh your God be with you, as he was with Moses. Whoever rebels against your commandment, and doesn\u2019t listen to your words in all that you command him shall himself be put to death. Only be strong and courageous.\u201d Joshua 1:12-18\nI think these men of \u201cthe Reubenites, Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh\u201d provide a perfect picture of how we\u2019re meant to understand our place in the Kingdom of Heaven. Each of us, everyday, is in the vanguard of the Kingdom \u2013 \u201cpassing before our brothers\u201d and sisters \u2013 called to be \u201cmighty\u201d in \u201cvalor\u201d \u2013 \u201cstrong in the Lord and in his mighty power\u201d (Ephesians 6) \u2013 and we\u2019re meant to help all people find their \u201crest\u201d in \u201cpossessing\u201d the Kingdom. But, in order to do all this, we must likewise turn and face the Commander who leads our every step, who is the Way, and answer just like they once did:\n\u201cAll that you command us we will do, and wherever you send us, Jesus, we will go. Just as the Early Church showed us how to listen to you in all things, so will we listen to you today. Only may your Holy Spirit be with us in ever greater measure, as he was with you while you walked among us. We\u2019re going to love the ones who rebel against your Way, the ones who don\u2019t listen to your words, and, by your love, save them from death. Only be Strength and Courage within us, Jesus.\u201d\nFocus & Fruit\nFocusing solely on our own personal holiness very rarely draws others to Jesus. It's the joy, the peace, the hope, the love - the otherworldly fruits welling up and out of us - that are the most attractive parts of this New Life in Him.\nLet us abide and produce and attract, in His own manner, today!\nAnyone who deliberately chooses to love the world is thereby making himself God\u2019s enemy. Do you think what the scriptures have to say about this is a mere formality? (James 4:4b,5a)\nWhich begs the question: What would that latter question have meant to James' original readers, given that the New Testament didn't, at this time, exist? Well, consider some of the Old Testament context to which, perhaps, James was pointing their minds:\nLeviticus 11:44a,45 \u2013 \u201cI am the Lord your God; consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am holy\u2026 I am the Lord, who brought you up out of Egypt to be your God; therefore be holy, because I am holy.\u201d\nDeuteronomy 14:2 \u2013 \u201cYou are a people holy to the Lord your God. Out of all the peoples on the face of the earth, the Lord has chosen you to be his treasured possession.\u201d\nPsalm 1:1,2,6 \u2013 \u201cBlessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night\u2026 For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.\u201d\nPsalm 141:4 \u2013 \u201cDo not let my heart be drawn to what is evil so that I take part in wicked deeds along with those who are evildoers; do not let me eat their delicacies.\u201d\nProverbs 25:26 \u2013 \u201cLike a muddied spring or a polluted well are the righteous who give way to the wicked.\u201d\nWhat before had been a separation between people-groups, Jew and Gentile, has now become a spiritual separation between two Kingdoms, the world's and Heaven's. Or to put it another way: When an unknown 30 year-old carpenter/teacher first spoke His first message in the Galilee - \"Behold, the Kingdom of God has arrived\" - that was the beginning of an invasion, the first beachhead in the Great War.\nThat's the War He's still fighting in and through us today. Let us march out under His orders only.\nYou are I are the plunder of the war Jesus waged. He has bought us with His blood and we don't belong to the enemy anymore. Let us live this day mindfully, triumphantly, gloriously, in the camp that is forever our Home with our Savior, our Friend.\nJames Tissot, The Raising of the Cross\nThe Portal of Speech\n\"Beasts, birds, reptiles and all kinds of sea-creatures can be, and in fact are, tamed by man, but no one can tame the human tongue. It is an evil always liable to break out, and the poison it spreads is deadly. We use the tongue to bless our Father, God, and we use the same tongue to curse our fellow-men, who are all created in God\u2019s likeness. Blessing and curses come out of the same mouth \u2014 surely, my brothers, this is the sort of thing that never ought to happen! Have you ever known a spring to give sweet and bitter water simultaneously? Have you ever seen a fig-tree with a crop of olives, or seen figs growing on a vine? It is just as impossible for a spring to give fresh and salt water at the same time.\" James 3:7-12\nJames really gives the best of teaching-metaphors throughout Chapter 3, because they say what they say and yet there's even more behind them...\nThink, for a moment, about the nature of a freshwater, sweetwater spring: how would you describe how it \"works\"? It comes from deep inside the earth; it's cool; it's clean; it's fresh; it brings life and refreshment to them that drink from it. And why can't it bring up bitter water alongside the sweet? Well, because that would mean that the source itself had been tainted; that something was wrong down at its essence; that it no longer is what it was.\nAnd how about the fig tree and the olive tree: what can we learn from looking at their example? Personally, I would say that we see two distinct types of trees, with their own fundamental identities; yet both must source their life from soil, roots, air and water; both will be noted for the quality of their fruit.\nSo, with both the examples of the waters and the trees, James is not only teaching us about incongruity between fresh- and bitterwater, fig- and olive-trees, he is also pointing our minds and hearts to consider the essence of those things, the inner hidden life from which they spring and grow.\nAnd now listen to James' brother get going on the same tack: \u201cIt is impossible for a good tree to produce bad fruit \u2014 as impossible as it is for a bad tree to produce good fruit. Do not men know what a tree is by its fruit? You cannot pick figs from briars, or gather a bunch of grapes from a blackberry bush! A good man produces good things from the good stored up in his heart, and a bad man produce evil things from his own stores of evil. For a man\u2019s words will always express what has been treasured in his heart.\u201d (Luke 6:43-45)\nFriends, our words are the portal to get a real, true glimpse of what our real, true inner life is like. \"For a man\u2019s words will always express what has been treasured in his heart.\" If our inner life is all caught up in the great adventure of abiding in Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit, then we'll find our words are becoming His sort of words. It's our relish over the Kingdom of Heaven taking over the landscape of our heart that changes the outflow of our speech: don't forget it!\nTruly, gloriously, to Abide in Him alters the very essence of our being!\nDon't forget: His overabundance of love, goodness and mercy can always conquer our sense of feeling overwhelmed. No matter what.\nThen Philip began, and using this scripture as a starting point, he told the eunuch the good news about Jesus. As they proceeded along the road they came to some water, and the eunuch said, \u201cLook, here is some water; is there any reason why I should not be baptized now?\u201d And he gave orders for the carriage to stop. Then both of them went down to the water and Philip baptized the eunuch... (Acts 8:35-38)\nIsn\u2019t the whole narrative of this man\u2019s salvation a thrill and a joy? He was riding back from a probably painful worship trip to Jerusalem (being, after all, \"unclean\" because of his condition), confused by a scripture, when he looks out the window of his carriage and sees a man jogging alongside. For his part, Philip had been going about his day when, by the voice of an angel and the Holy Spirit, he was sent out on this slightly absurd adventure.\nThis is the joyous way of the wonderful God we serve!\nAnd the before-and-after qualities of this scene remind me of Paul\u2019s glorious descriptions of the befores-and-afters of our own salvation:\n\u201cTo you, who were spiritually dead all the time that you drifted along on the stream of this world\u2019s ideas of living, and obeyed its unseen ruler (who is still operating in those who do not respond to the truth of God), to you Christ has given life! We all lived like that in the past, and followed the impulses and imaginations of our evil nature, being in fact under the wrath of God by nature, like everyone else. But even though we were dead in our sins God, who is rich in mercy, because of the great love he had for us, gave us life together with Christ \u2014 it is, remember, by grace and not by achievement that you are saved \u2014 and has lifted us right out of the old life to take our place with him in Christ in the Heavens\u2026\u201d (Ephesians 2)",

While this may be therapeutic, the most important thing is to shine a light on the truth. Every form of major media has majorly dropped the ball here in the form of a blackout and disinformation campaign.\nBy providing a collection of true stories in a single place, a reader should be able to come to understand the individual nuances and larger patterns connected to the crime of targeting.\n2. to provide as much truth and data as possible to back up the stories we tell. Most targeted individuals (TIs) are accustomed to having their claims dismissed and their understanding of reality questioned. Many have been declared paranoid or delusional by doctors or police. The more we are able to back our common claims up with consistent record-keeping and hard data, the less power these dismissals will have.\n3. to end targeting as we know it. The act of targeting violates fundamental human rights along with many other fundamental laws in every single country in which it occurs. Targeting violates international laws against torture, surveillance, nonconsensual human experimentation and human trafficking. Nonetheless, in every single country where targeting occurs, military, police, and health care systems are complicit.\nMore: FAQ :: Writers\u2019 Guidelines",

        "title": "History professor finds success in art and Instagram - The Beacon",
        "raw_content": "By Autumn Fluetsch | November 12, 2018 11:19am\nHistory professor Brad Franco shows off one of his finished art pieces. He started making art about a year and a half ago and sells some of his pieces through his instagram account, which has over ten thousand followers.\nA year and a half ago, if you asked history professor Brad Franco about art, he would have said that he was bad at it. Though he is talented at playing and writing music, drawing and painting were never for him.\n\u201cArt was always the thing I was worst at my whole life,\u201d Franco said.\nFast forward to today, and his art Instagram account, which is devoted to sharing his psychedelic-style drawings and paintings, has over ten thousand followers. He even sells some of his artwork through his account.\nFranco\u2019s artistic journey began less than 15 months ago. Since then, he has developed both his artistic abilities and his fame, showing that it is never too late to discover a new talent.\nFranco, an associate professor of history at UP, discovered his artistic abilities while traveling on an airplane during a family trip in July of 2017. Franco doodled something after his daughter requested a drawing. To his surprise, the drawing wasn\u2019t half bad. Franco\u2019s wife, a graphic designer, saw artistic potential and encouraged him to do it again.\nWith these first few doodles, Franco realized that he may be onto something.\n\u201cI\u2019m not terrible at this thing,\u201d Franco said of when he first discovered his talent. \u201cThis is something I can explore.\u201d\nFranco concentrates as he works on one of his art pieces.\nThe discovery of his drawing ability also coincided with the start of a year-long sabbatical from teaching history courses at UP. His sabbatical was a time for taking a step back and spending time in reflection and self-discovery. While his year was spent doing some research, it also provided Franco with more time to explore his new hobby.\nFranco described his artistic style as psychedelic. Around the same time he started drawing, he was listening to new kinds of music including psychedelic rock from Australia. He has also been writing and recording music since he was 14 years old, much of which falls under the psychedelic rock genre. This new music gave him moments of clarity and showed him that art doesn\u2019t need to make total sense \u2014 a lesson he carried with him as he began creating his own artwork.\nEach piece of Franco\u2019s art is intentionally different from the others. He views each piece as an opportunity to try a new thing. Franco also stressed that there is a lot more going on in his artwork than what you may originally see.\n\u201cPart of art is the ability to convey the ineffable, the things that are hard to express,\u201d Franco said.\nHis art pieces often deal with broader themes like greed, fraud and gender, as well as life\u2019s biggest questions like who we are and what makes us tick. Franco, a historian by trade, brings in his understanding of history and topics he discusses in his courses.\nWhile teaching about Dante\u2019s \u201cInferno\u201d in his Foundations of Western Civilization course, Franco discussed fraud, which became the focus of multiple artworks. Franco noted that it is often after he completes a piece when he is able to figure out the story or significance.\nFranco realized that the process of making art allows a lot of time for thinking and reflection, which was appropriate for his sabbatical. Often, there is an unconscious part of his mind that makes the art for him, he said.\n\u201cMy hand is moving and I don\u2019t know what I am drawing or where this is going,\u201d Franco said. \u201cYou start to trust your unconscious self. The key for you is to get out of the way.\u201d\nIn those first few months of drawing, Franco would often lose himself in this creative experience.\n\u201cThe first month, every time I made something, I would not be able to believe that I made it,\u201d Franco said. \u201cBecause, central to my identity, the one thing I was terrible at in life was art. And to suddenly be able to make things that I think are cool, and other people think are cool. Honestly I had fear that I would lose this ability. It was like a superhuman magic power.\u201d\nMark Pitzer, an associate professor of psychology at UP, attested to Franco\u2019s magic power. Pitzer and Franco originally became friends by bonding over their shared interest in music. Franco plays guitar, piano and bass. He also sings and has recorded hundreds of songs.\nPitzer was originally shocked by Franco\u2019s ability to make music so quickly, and was equally impressed with artistic talent and how quickly he could produce pieces.\n\u201cIt wasn\u2019t a drop. It wasn\u2019t coming out of a spicket. It was coming out of a firehose,\u201d Pitzer said. \u201cIt just never stops.\u201d\nI joined Instagram a year ago today. I was nervous to put myself out there and it took some cajoling from my wife Meg to convince me to give it a shot. I just want to say thank you to all of you for the likes, the comments, the messages, the feedback, and more broadly, the love and support. I'm inspired by all my fellow artists and by everyone who values the act of artistic creation. Here's a fun new piece that's an experiment with color combinations and movement. It depicts a close and supportive community where everyone learns, grows, and accomplishes things together. Not unlike this Instagram community! \u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f 11\"x14\" on watercolor paper with prismacolor markers and acrylic paint. #artistsofinstagram #instaart #instragramart #happyanniversary #prismacolor #posca #modernart #psychedelicart #psyart #trippyart #loveart #cosmicart #psychrock #psychart #kinggizzardandthelizardwizard #pdx #pdxartist #thankyou #picasso #vangoghart\nA post shared by Brad Franco (@bradfrancoart) on Nov 1, 2018 at 10:50am PDT\nPitzer, a neuroscientist, was curious if there was anything he could learn from Franco\u2019s work from a neurological perspective. He explained that our genes affect our ability to learn new skills to some level. But then we need to consistently practice to develop the skill.\nBecause Franco generates artwork so quickly and practices his skill with each new piece, he is able to make significant improvements at a rapid pace.\n\u201cHe goes at it almost like a mixture of a job, and a passion, and an addiction,\u201d Pitzer said. \u201cI can only imagine grand things. With that much practice and that much interest, good things can happen.\u201d\nIn addition to his skill level, Franco has also significantly grown his Instagram following. Ten and half thousand followers is a big deal. Franco based most of his big following on simple luck. He pointed out that there are so many other artists on Instagram who have, arguably, better work but don\u2019t get famous.\nFranco believes that his unique perspective of art attracts more followers. He thoughtfully crafts each caption of his photos, discussing the themes, messages and historical connections in his art. He thinks that his following comes just as much from the thought that goes into the posts as it does from the photos of his artwork.\nFranco also credited his wife, who encouraged him to make his account more professional by taking high-quality photos and investing in high-quality materials. His posts also include numerous hashtags to increase visibility around Instagram.\nIn the early days of his Instagram account, Franco began hashtagging his favorite bands, including King Gizzard and the Wizard Lizard, which has a cult-following fan base. These hashtags attracted other fans of the band, some of whom reached out asking Franco to create art for them.\nAt one point, as he was growing his Instagram following, another account stole a photo of his artwork and posted it without his credit. While frustrating at the time, it actually worked out beautifully, Franco said. Strangers began to defend him in the comments, and all of the commotion ultimately drew more attention to Franco\u2019s account.\nInstagram has become a sort of self-chosen community for Franco. He enjoys sharing his ideas with a different audience than his normal classroom audience.\nFranco uses acrylic paint markers on black acid-free poster board to create one of his pieces.\nInstagram has also allowed Franco to sell some of his artwork. He runs an Etsy shop, but admitted that it is a bit outdated and that most of his sales come from Instagram. While he does not advertise it in his posts, he occasionally receives direct messages on Instagram asking to purchase certain pieces or asking for commissions.\nFranco has completed more than 150 pieces in total, and he has sold about 15 of them. Franco is clear, however, that art is his hobby, not his job, and finds it much more enjoyable when he does not have to worry about selling his pieces. Since he is not reliant on his art to make money, he can spend as long as he wants on one piece.\nDespite making so much progress since beginning his art career, Franco is nowhere near done.\n\u201cI don\u2019t, in any way, think that I\u2019ve reached the end of this journey,\u201d he said. \u201cIt's an ongoing process of learning new techniques, new strategies, becoming better at drawing, better with color. Each piece presents new challenges and opportunities and things to learn.\u201d\nFor Franco, the most profound lesson he\u2019s learned is to stay open to discovering new talents, interests and hobbies.\n\u201cWe often, by the time we are done with college, have a fairly fixed identity \u2014 who you are, what you like and what you\u2019re good at,\u201d Franco said. \u201cDon\u2019t narrowly define yourself, stay open to self discovery, to discovering you are good at things you had no idea you were good at or you were sure you were bad at... Don\u2019t shut down potential avenues. You may surprise yourself.\u201d\nFranco\u2019s artwork will be on display in the Buckley Center Gallery from Jan. 7 to Feb. 7.",

Therefore, it's likely to be trusted. A government that tries to do many things, might do them badly, and be less highly regarded. Check out this story on USATODAY.com: http://usat.ly/YX4kSu\nGlenn Harlan Reynolds Published 9:00 a.m. ET Feb. 11, 2013\nA government limited to few things can probably do those things well, and thus it's likely to be trusted. A government that tries to do many things, might do them badly, and be less highly regarded.\nA couple participate in the Tax Day tea protest in New York on April 15, 2010.(Photo: Mary Altaffer AP)\nA Pew poll shows more than half of Americans see the government as a threat to freedom.\nThe sheer size of the government makes it hard to do anything well.\nA government that does a lot of things badly is more appealing to the political class.\nLast week, I noted that Americans are losing confidence in their government: According to a new Pew poll, more than half see it as a threat to their freedom. That's a troubling number. But why have things gotten so bad?\nWell, perhaps it's because government actually has become a bigger threat to freedom. There's plenty of support for that notion, given that we're seeing everything from TSA scanners, to widespread surveillance, to drone strikes on American citizens. Add to that the creepy sound of \"Homeland Security,\" and now talk of gun control or even gun confiscation, and it's easy to see why lots of people, with lots of different political views, might come to see the government as a threat.\nNew York Times blogger Nate Silver -- best known for his prescient election projections in 2012 -- matches up the data on distrust of government with the numbers reflecting increasing government spending on welfare (\"social insurance\") programs, and makes this observation:\n\"The declining level of trust in government since the 1970s is a fairly close mirror for the growth in spending on social insurance as a share of the gross domestic product and of overall government expenditures. We may have gone from conceiving of government as an entity that builds roads, dams and airports, provides shared services like schooling, policing and national parks, and wages wars, into the world's largest insurance broker. Most of us don't much care for our insurance broker.\"\nGovernment used to do big things with obvious relevance to the public good. Now it takes money from A, and gives it to B. That could be part of it.\nThere's also the fact that the sheer size of the government makes it hard to do anything well. Often two different parts of the government pull in different directions -- subsidizing cheese, say, while simultaneously telling us to eat less fat. The bigger the government, the more likely we are to see these kinds of problems.\nNobel-prize-winning economist Ronald Coase made that point in a 1998 interview:\n\"When I was editor of The Journal of Law and Economics, we published a whole series of studies of regulation and its effects. Almost all the studies -- perhaps all the studies -- suggested that the results of regulation had been bad, that the prices were higher, that the product was worse adapted to the needs of consumers, than it otherwise would have been. I was not willing to accept the view that all regulation was bound to produce these results. Therefore, what was my explanation for the results we had? I argued that the most probable explanation was that the government now operates on such a massive scale that it had reached the stage of what economists call negative marginal returns. Anything additional it does, it messes up. But that doesn't mean that if we reduce the size of government considerably, we wouldn't find then that there were some activities it did well.\"\nA government limited to relatively few things -- visible things, obviously relevant to the common good -- can probably do those things well. As a consequence, it is likely to be trusted and admired. A government that tries to do a lot of things, on the other hand, will probably do them badly and be less highly regarded.\nThe problem, of course, is that a government that does a lot of things badly is more appealing to the political class: more opportunity for graft, and for exercising the inflated self-importance that probably drives politicians even more than graft. The question is whether the government exists for the country's benefit, or for the benefit of the political class. At present, the answer to that question is depressingly clear.\nGlenn Harlan Reynolds is a professor of law at the University of Tennessee.

        "raw_content": "I\u2019m about to rent out my apartment to someone and I was thinking about using one of the people finder websites to get some more information about them. Am I allowed to do that without telling them?\nThe short answer is no \u2013 you shouldn\u2019t use one of the people finder websites to screen a tenant or roommmate.\nPeople finder websites are NOT Consumer Reporting Agencies, so you\u2019re not allowed to use them for any purpose governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).\nThe FCRA is a federal law that regulates the use of consumer information. Only FCRA compliant information can legally be used by landlord to judge a person\u2019s suitability as a tenant (or for any other credit-related product). While people finder websites use information that is generally believed to be very accurate, it is not FCRA compliant. Consequently, you\u2019re not supposed to use it for tenant screening.\nThere are FCRA-compliant search services specifically designed for this purpose, which allow landlords to run official background checks. Generally, these are more expensive and take longer to produce than the ones you would get from the people finder websites. They also require that you get your prospective tenant to sign off on the background check.\nKnowing that, you might ask yourself \u2013 what\u2019s the worst that can happen if I use one of the regular people finder websites? Well, if you choose to rent to the person you perform the search on, probably not much. The problem comes if you choose not to rent to the person. Whenever an adverse action is taken on the basis of a report, the FCRA stipulates that a consumer (in this case, your prospective tenant) be notified of why you are denying them, including information on the company that provided the report.\nIn turn, the consumer has the option to check the accuracy and completeness of the report, which they can then choose to contest. Obviously, if you didn\u2019t use an FCRA report, they could have a legal basis to take you to court. There\u2019s also a 5-year statute of limitations, so \u2013 unless you really want that hanging over your head for half a decade \u2013 it\u2019s probably better not to risk using the people finder websites for this purpose.\nAll that said, if you were looking for a prospective roommate to share an apartment (or other living space) with and you\u2019re not actually the one renting out/subletting the apartment, there\u2019s nothing to stop you from using a people search website to check criminal records, address history, past neighbors, etc. to get an idea of who you\u2019re potentially going to be living with.\nYou can start that kind of search right here for free:\nBottom line: Don\u2019t use people finder websites to run background checks to screen tenants, but you can potentially use them for prospective roommates.\nThis entry was posted in Background Check, people search and tagged free website for tenant screening, people finder website, tenant screening.

In Power Yoga physical poses are adopted in succession, all the time supported by breathing techniques. Poses take the form of a series which can vary from lesson to lesson. Each series forms a dynamic whole which is reminiscent in style to a work-out.

Like most distributors UW Provision is focused on bringing value to their customers, but they have proven that they go the extra mile by looking out for the environment. With trucks driving across the country, millions of miles are covered each and every day, which means that a whole lot of resources are being used to make sure they get to where they\u2019ve got to be.\nRegardless of how you feel about climate change, it is no secret that our planet needs some TLC. UW Provision is doing their part at making this Earth a better place with less pollution, and cleaner air. About 2 years ago UW Provision decided to make the switch to NGV (Natural Gas Vehicles), because it\u2019s carbon footprint is now about \u00bd the shoe size, and it is much more cost effective. By taking just one truck and converting it to a NGV, it is the equivalent of taking 21 cars off the road. With UW Provisions 10 NGV trucks, they alone took 210 cars off the road.\nWhen we asked the President of UW Provision, Steve Kalscheur if he would recommend NGV to other businesses he said, \u201cYes. It is better for the environment, and more cost effective if you can afford to make the initial investment.\u201d We\u2019d agree with that, because according to the Florida Natural Gas Association, natural gas can actually cost up to 50% less than gas or diesel at the pump. Steve has replaced two trucks every couple months or so for the past two years, and will continue to do that in the years to come. With all this talk about natural gas we almost forgot to mention that UW Provision is solar powered. Here\u2019s a few pictures from the roof of the plant.\nAccording to the Florida Natural Gas Association, \u201cNatural gas is the greenest and lowest cost transportation fuel available today.\u201d\nWhen scrolling through their website\u2026We found a couple of stats that really stood out to us:\nNatural gas burns cleaner which means less maintenance, and longer life spans for trucks\nReduces toxic emissions up to 90%\nThere are currently around 1,000 NGV fueling stations in the US (with roughly 500 open to the public)\nIt\u2019s Domestically Produced!\nIt is our own responsibility to take care of our planet. The more big businesses put their focus on to the future of sustainability in terms of consumption rates, the more they will realize that we cannot keep it up forever\u2026and changed will have to be made. Here at UW Provision we know that actions speak louder than words. That\u2019s why we lead by example by running on solar power, and converting our trucks to NGV in order to help make this world a better place for future generations to come.",

        "raw_content": "As IPCC[1] scientists have shown, warming of the climate system is unequivocal, and since the 1950s many of the changes observed have been unprecedented over the last few decades or even millennia. The atmosphere and oceans have warmed, snow and ice cover has decreased, sea levels have risen and greenhouse gas concentrations have increased.\nHumankind\u2019s influence on climate disruption is no longer in any doubt. Human responsibility is significant: we emit too much greenhouse gas! Atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) have increased by 40% since pre-industrial times.\nThis disruption, the effects of which we are already beginning to feel (more frequent and more violent storms, heat waves, changes in precipitation, etc.), will have serious social, economic and environmental consequences. Fortunately, there is still time to react. We can reduce the global risks of climate change by limiting its pace and scale. Limiting this change means keeping it to below 2 \u00b0C [2]. And to do that greenhouse gas emissions in 2050 will have to be 40 to 70% lower than in 2010.\nSo what solutions are there?\nTo contain global warming to below 2 \u00b0C, global greenhouse gas emissions will have to be 70% lower by 2050\nVeolia helps fight climate change.\nOur proposals to reduce global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions: 3 priority actions\n1. Change the resource use model: expand the circular economy\nClimate disruption is essentially the result of a development model based on a linear \"take-use-throw\" model and ever-greater consumption of the planet\u2019s resources - in particular fossil fuels which release massive amounts of greenhouse gases. The first challenge today is therefore to develop a new more sober and efficient resource use model based on circular economy principles. Every day, everywhere in the world Veolia, a committed enterprise and environment expert, brings concrete solutions for a more circular economy. We now recover water, waste, and energy. What is rejected by some becomes a resource for others. Thanks to technology, eco-design and new modes of consumption, all materials can have several uses. Through our activities, we contribute to \"resourcing the world\" by developing access to essential resources and by preserving and renewing them.\n2. Tax pollution: introduce the polluter pays principle\nVeolia is positioned in favor of measures to promote the large-scale development of a resilient low-carbon economy; in particular through the polluter pays principle, and vice versa for CO2 \u2013 i.e. setting and applying a robust and predictable carbon price of 30 to 40 euros per metric ton.\nA robust and predictable carbon price is the precondition for directing investments towards energy efficiency, renewable energy and more generally for encouraging the circular use of resources as alternatives to fossil fuels.\nThese positions were illustrated in September 2014 when the Group signed two international statements on the price of carbon - that of the World Bank, and the Carbon Price press release.\n3. Tackle short-lived GHGs with high warming potential: capture and recover methane\nVeolia has decided to tackle short-lived greenhouse gases with high warming potential - in particular methane. Calculated over a century, its contribution to GHG emissions is 14%, but when related to the last 20 years, it reaches 40%! If we want to achieve quick results in reducing GHG emissions, we also have to tackle this other air pollutant. Decreasing methane emissions would have a significant impact in the short term and the same means and ambition should be brought to bear as for the issue of CO2.\nThe Group expressed its determination in this regard through the personal intervention of Antoine Fr\u00e9rot, CEO and Chairman of Veolia, during the climate summit in New York in September 2014.\n[2] Decision taken in 2009 during the Copenhagen Summit",

The award is given annually by the Better Business Bureau serving eastern Missouri and southern Illinois to businesses with exceptional ethical business practices and high-quality customer service. Veterans United was one of nine businesses and three charities to receive the award.\nVeterans United, a national VA lender, received the award because of its commitment to working with veterans and service members who may encounter special circumstances that can make purchasing a home challenging. Among other things, the BBB cited the company's 24-hour call center, allowing veterans deployed around the world the ability to call and be served regardless of local time zone.\n\u201cOur mission is to serve those who have served our country,\u201d said Gardell Powell, chief production officer of Veterans United. \u201cIt is an honor to work with our nation\u2019s heroes on a daily basis, and we are very proud to receive the TORCH Award. We are here for our customers 24/7 and will do whatever we can to help them achieve the American dream of homeownership.\u201d\nIn addition to its 24-hour call center, BBB recognized Veterans United for creating a program aimed at helping veterans who have credit problems. The Lighthouse Program is a free, no-obligation credit consulting service that assists veterans and service members in the steps necessary to improve their credit scores by addressing budgeting and long-term financial health. The program, started in 2008, has helped an additional 2,000 veterans realize their goal of homeownership by addressing their unique individual circumstances.\nAs part of its commitment to high-quality customer service, Veterans United also received mention for developing a team of client advocates who act as an independent client resource for veterans and military families if they have questions, reservations or issues during the homebuying process.\n\u201cOur client advocate team is just another way for us to work with our customers to ensure they receive the service they deserve and expect,\u201d Powell said. \u201cWe want to make sure our customers are comfortable with the process from start to finish, and having a team that focuses solely on that effort makes our company even stronger. We thank the BBB for recognizing our efforts and we look forward to continued innovation and improvement for our nation's service members and veterans.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "7 Ways Virtual Reality is Making Life Easier for Architects\nVirtual reality is redefining the architectural design process \u2014 here\u2019s how.\nImproving the efficiency of our built environments will require better, more efficient design practices. Virtual reality (VR) has already established its viability as an impactful AEC tool. By transforming 2D or 3D models into immersive, manipulable virtual environments, VR technology enables architects to interact with their designs in heretofore unimaginable ways. With VR, many of the most challenging aspects of architectural work become streamlined and simplified, allowing for better designs from both an aesthetic and technical perspective.\nInside a virtual building, architects can change the sun\u2019s position, photograph details, and even sketch three-dimensional notes. They can view their designs with a highly realistic level of spatial depth, and perhaps even more importantly, can share that immersive experience with other stakeholders.\nThe future of our built environments will be defined by tools like VR \u2014 in fact, for many forward-thinking AEC professionals, this future has already arrived. Here are seven of the most notable benefits VR has to offer to the modern architect.\n1. Understanding Scale\nUnfortunately for architects, the human mind simply isn\u2019t very good at visualizing large spaces in the abstract. While 2D renderings and digital models can impart a basic understanding of what a finished environment will look like, you simply can\u2019t capture the experience of interacting with a physical space when staring at a computer screen or piece of paper. By translating their plans into highly realistic, immersive virtual environments, architects can invite project owners and other key stakeholders to experience a design on a 1:1 scale.\nThis is especially beneficial in the context of master planning. For example, when you have to spec out multiple buildings in a new city development project, VR allows you to gain a truly accurate sense for how a new building will fit in and interact with the surrounding structures and environment.\n2. No Surprises!\nStatic, 2D renderings don\u2019t just make it harder for architects to communicate their \u201cvision\u201d to owners during the pitching process \u2014 they usually end up making more work for the firms as well.\nDrawings can only show a proposed project from a few select angles, and under a finite number of environmental conditions. This kind of limited visibility typically means more revisions and rework for architects, both upfront and later on.\nWith VR, the users are in complete control, meaning owners can inspect every nook and cranny of a design before signing off on the deal. Early consensus typically results in time savings and less rework during the design phase, and fewer scope changes and reduced subcontractor default down the line.\n3. Data-Driven Design\nWhile architectural design is, in many ways, a highly scientific process, there\u2019s always been a little bit of guesswork involved. In other words, you create a design with efficiency and usability in mind, but it\u2019s only after the project is completed that you find out whether or not you actually made good design decisions.\nVR allows architects to test out their designs before construction even begins. Observing how people interact with a virtual environment generates valuable data that can be harnessed to guide decision-making during the design process. More intelligence upfront means less downstream rework, stronger designs, and ultimately, happier clients.\n4. Fewer Design Flaws\nAs spaces have become increasingly complex, more stakeholders are involved in the design process than ever before. Unsurprisingly, this can be problematic from an efficiency standpoint \u2014 when designs are being modified by multiple parties simultaneously, it increases the likelihood of clashes and inconsistencies by a significant margin. VR facilitates holistic (and remote) visibility into the progression of a design in real-time, reducing the overall number of errors and making them easier to identify if and when they do occur.\n5. Increased Awareness of Construction Feasibility\nThough the construction industry has made huge strides in terms of safety, it will always contain a certain amount of both physical and financial risk. Using a VR logistics simulator, architects and contractors alike can interact with full-scale virtual equipment, record their simulated actions, and gauge the feasibility of actually erecting a structure based on the existing design. If a specific aspect of the design proves to imperil the virtual workers, it can easily and quickly be adjusted, saving money that would otherwise have to be spent on downstream rework. \u201cMeasure twice, cut once,\u201d is one of the most well-worn adages of the construction industry, but with VR, the adage now falls within the purview of the architect as well.\n6. Better Design Collaboration\nAll but the smallest projects usually make use of a team of architects, making communication and collaboration key to success. VR allows architects, engineers, owners, building users \u2014 anyone whose input is desired \u2014 to participate in design walk-throughs and contribute to the process, even when they\u2019re separated by thousands of miles. Moreover, since many VR platforms incorporate real-time, dynamic data, each architect can see any changes their colleagues make right before their eyes, making for remarkably sophisticated collaboration in the design editing process.\n7. Hyper-Realistic Virtual Experiences\nAs VR technology continues to improve \u2014 both on the hardware and software side \u2014 it\u2019s officially made the transition from a fun \u201cnovelty\u201d to a practical and impactful architectural tool. For example, wireless VR facilitates a more immersive, realistic experience, enabling users to disconnect from the real world and truly lose themselves in the virtual space; advancements in 3D rendering have made virtual environments appear more realistic than ever before; the ability to optimize 3D objects and reduce polygon counts has helped reduce the load on graphics cards, which in turn has made for a smoother, more realistic VR experience \u2014 i.e., better tracking and fewer glitches.\nThe point is, VR has blossomed into a mature and impactful AEC technology, and with predictions of widespread adoption within the next five years, it\u2019s likely we\u2019ll see it continue to advance at an exponential rate going forward.\nFall 2016 BIMForum Mixed Reality and AEC: A Match Made in Heaven?",

        "raw_content": "If you want a true picture of New York\u2019s current economic plight, take a look at a remarkable graph showing the share of income going to the top 1 percent of earners over the past 100 years.\nThe chart is the product of the Fiscal Policy Institute, the labor-backed group that is one of the lone voices trying to be heard over the ever-growing roar demanding that wages and benefits for workers be knocked down as low as possible.\nIf you look at this chart for a while, an image comes to mind: It is a long hammock with a slumbering tycoon stretched out in blissful repose. His head is tucked comfortably on the years right before the Great Depression when he and his pals controlled almost 25 percent of all income earned. His back and posterior then slide down in a long graceful arch from the late \u201940s through the \u201970s. This is the period considered the Golden Age of America\u2019s middle class, when workers managed to capture a greater share of the pie, standards of living rising accordingly. Back then, our upper strata did just fine, too, enjoying a robust 10 percent of the pot. Then, in the \u201980s in the Reagan era, the graph starts to climb again. From there, it spikes up and up. This is where the snoozing baron now has his feet comfortably planted atop his magnificent wealth, while the rest of us tread water.\nThe numbers on the chart show that nationally, America\u2019s top earners are now taking in 24 percent of the income, back to where they were just before their gluttony crashed Wall Street in 1929. But they are pikers compared to New York. Our state\u2019s most privileged class holds 35 percent of the dough. Here in the city, the fat cats do even better, with a whopping 44 percent. This is why New York State ranks last in terms of the income gap between rich and poor. And it is why New York City is the most polarized of the nation\u2019s 25 biggest urban areas.\n\u201cIf New York City were a nation,\u201d reports James Parrott, economist for the institute, \u201cits level of income concentration would rank 15th worst among 134 countries, between Chile and Honduras. Wall Street,\u201d he adds, \u201cwith its stratospheric profits and bonuses, sits within 15 miles of the Bronx\u2014the nation\u2019s poorest urban county.\u201d\nYet while this income inequality grows by the hour, the talk in Albany and City Hall is that we cannot ask this luxury class to carry any more of the burden. These politicians hold that the only acceptable solution to an estimated $10 billion state budget deficit is to cut programs that mainly serve the poor and middle class, while asking state workers to do more with less. The no-new-taxes zealots are so wedded to this notion that they are even looking to immediately shut down the modest so-called \u201cmillionaire\u2019s tax,\u201d which expires at the end of this year.\nIf you make the rich pay more, this argument holds, they will vote with their feet and head to Florida and places where they get an even freer ride than they do here. Mayor Bloomberg makes this point every chance he gets, even though when he won his own high-income tax measure to meet the post-9/11 fiscal crisis, he dismissed that same argument as so much nonsense.\nThen we have this new group of millionaires and business representatives that is being hailed by the new governor, Andrew Cuomo, and which calls itself the \u201cCommittee to Save New York.\u201d A better name would be \u201cCommittee to Save Our Advantages.\u201d One of the co-chairmen of this group is a young man named Rob Speyer who is heir to one of New York\u2019s great real estate fortunes. I am sure he has matured enormously since then, but some 15 years ago, when we were reporters working in the same newsroom, his idea of a big investigative scoop was a sting on cab drivers: He left wallets with $100 bills in the back of taxis, and then waited to see if drivers returned them, cash safely tucked inside. Those that didn\u2019t pass this test got their pictures in the paper, labeled as rip-off menaces. You read the stories and wondered, if the tables were turned, how many photos of reporters, editors, and real estate tycoons we might see.\nSpeyer\u2019s most recent foray was to buy Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village in hopes of replacing rent-regulated middle-class tenants with free-market apartments filled with upper-income residents. This enormous greed resulted in default and the biggest real estate debacle in recent city history.\nAll in all, this group does not inspire great confidence, and it is fairly frightening to think they may be setting our state\u2019s agenda. Cuomo has much smarter people right around him who hopefully have his ear.\nThis kind of broadside at the ruling elite seems as good a swan song as any. I could just as easily write again about the alleged leader of New York City\u2019s unions who is supposed to be leading the people\u2019s charge against these forces, but who is too distracted trying to cover up his own earnings. Or I could reminisce about my very first Voice article, co-authored in 1985 with Wayne Barrett, which recounted how city housing funds for the poor were secretly spent to build a lush, mob-controlled restaurant in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. That story, too, links back to today\u2019s debate about the way forward for New York, but I will leave it in the archives for now. Suffice to say that it has been an honor to have held the floor this long in an honored institution. Many thanks to many wonderful readers.\nMore:Andrew CuomoNew York CityPoliticsRob SpeyerWall Street",

In recent years, hundreds of people have disappeared in Bangladesh and the country\u2019s security agencies are alleged to have been behind most of the cases.\nSome were found dead, others were later formally arrested and some were allowed to return home. Many others remain missing.\nAccording to the Bangladeshi human rights group Odhikar, between January 2009 and October 2017, at least 402 persons became victims of enforced disappearances in Bangladesh. So far, the group said, some 81 people have been \"disappeared\" this year. The group documents only those cases where the witnesses alleged that the victims had been taken away by men who claimed or appeared to be from law enforcement agencies.\nAmong the 402 cases documented by Odhikar at the end of October, 52 were found dead, 198 were later shown arrested or freed alive, while 152 persons, including Sumon and his five friends, remain untraced.\nAccording to Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), the country\u2019s main opposition party, in about 80 percent of the cases of forced disappearances the victims were leaders, activists and supporters of the different parties in the opposition alliance.\nIn recent weeks, among 12 persons who disappeared in the country there is one university professor and a journalist.\nFILE - A Bangladeshi worker classifies newspapers, in Dhaka, Bangladesh, Feb. 20, 2016.

However, Bangladeshi authorities denied the claim.\nDhaka-based human rights activist Nur Khan said human rights workers in Bangladesh investigating such disappearances have found that accusations against the security agencies to be true in many cases.\n\u201cThe law enforcement agencies usually do not want to accept complaints in such cases if the complainants accuse the agencies for the disappearances. After people move the court seeking relief, the court orders the law enforcement agencies to investigate the cases. In such situation often there is a possibility of the investigations being biased or it becomes difficult to conduct the investigations independently,\u201d Khan told VOA.\n\u201cWith the State apparently not taking any action, the incidences of disappearance is rising.\u201d\nThe government insists it is not at fault.\nTwo weeks ago, Bangladesh police chief AKM Shahidul Haque said secret abductions had been taking place since the British colonial period.\n\u201cWhen people come to police to report such cases, we accept the complaints and we try to solve the cases. I know that we succeed to rescue around 75 percent of the victims (of disappearances),\u201d Haque said.\nLast week Bangladesh\u2019s Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said Bangladesh was not the only country where citizens were vanishing and that people were disappearing also in developed countries.\nFILE - Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina speaks at a news conference in Budapest, Hungary, Nov. 29, 2016. Leaders of the opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party have accused the Hasina-led government of not making public details of an agreement she\n\u201cAccording to statistics of 2009, 275,000 British citizens disappeared. Among them, 20,000 have remained completely untraced. If you consider the case of America, the situation of disappearance is even worse,\u201d Hasina said in the Parliament.\n\u201cCompared to those countries the situation is much better in Bangladesh. We are taking action as soon as one disappears.\u201d\nBNP senior joint secretary Ruhul Kabir Rizvi Ahmed said Hasina and her colleagues in the government were in the \u201chabit\u201d of providing misleading information to justify their wrongdoings and distract the international community.\n\"The situation of the human rights condition in Bangladesh is clearly reflected in the statement of the prime minister. She has virtually admitted that her government has been involved with the disappearances in the country,\" Rizvi told VOA.\nRights activists too have been critical of Hasina\u2019s statement on disappearances.\nPhil Robertson, deputy Asia director of Human Rights Watch, said Hasina is comparing apples to oranges when she tries to compare her government\u2019s shoddy record on enforced disappearances to persons who have gone missing in the U.S. and Britain.\nBangladeshi human rights group Odhikar activists and volunteers demonstrating against rising cases of enforced disappearance in the country on the International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances in Rajshahi, Bangladesh (30 August 2017).\n\u201cThe major difference is the role of Bangladesh law enforcers who enjoy near total impunity, ranging from ordinary police to the infamous, black garbed Rapid Action Battalion, who have a long record of enforced disappearances and extra-judicial killings,\u201d Robertson told VOA.\n\u201cRather than casting around for excuses, Sheikh Hasina should ensure independent and impartial investigations into disappearance cases, and prosecute security officials in any instance where evidence is found that they have committed abuses,\u201d he said.\nHong Kong-based rights activist Mohammad Ashrafuzzaman said that inaccessibility to the justice mechanism in the cases is a key reason for which the enforced disappearances are continuing in Bangladesh.\n\u201cRecords clearly show that Bangladesh\u2019s justice institution is incapable of upholding fair trial and administering justice in the cases of enforced disappearances. The state attorneys and judges have been insincere in guaranteeing judicial remedies to the victims,\u201d Ashrafuzzaman, liaison officer of Asian Legal Resource Centre (ALRC), told VOA.\n\u201cThe head of the government's justification of enforced disappearances guarantees impunity to the perpetrators and transmits a chilling message to the victims that there is no end to such incidents in the country.\u201d\nAn earlier version of this story misspelled Hazera Khatun.\nBangladesh to Turn Island into Temporary Home for 100,000 Rohingya Refugees",

We\u2019re working to take a more comprehensive and collective approach to not only encouraging biking and walking, but also to the planning efforts that help to create a safer, efficient, and more connected multimodal transportation system.\nBikeWalk BG is powered by you, but is carried out by multiple agencies in many different facets. Building a connected sidewalk network, constructing Greenways facilities, and installing bike lanes takes a lot more thought and effort than you might think. It takes time, resources, and communication to plan priorities, then pursue them. The Bowling Green-Warren County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) oversees planning efforts for biking and walking facilities, while working with both the City of Bowling Green and Warren County Public Works and Parks & Recreation Departments, along with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District 3 to carry out the design, right-of-way acquisition, utility relocation, and construction phases of the projects. If you want to learn more or participate in these efforts, join us at our next meeting.\nBike-Ped Plans\nA Greenspace is an open space such as a park, wildlife refuge, or undeveloped floodplain. A Greenway is a linear greenspace along a natural or man-made corridor. Natural corridors in Warren County include river frontage, stream valleys, or ridgelines. Man-made corridors include abandoned railroad lines, utility rights-of-way, or scenic highways. A Greenbelt is a network of greenspaces and greenways that can encircle as well as infiltrate a community.\nThe MPO\u2019s Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) provides guidance on bicycle and pedestrian needs and projects in the MPO area. The BPAC is comprised of citizens and local and state government representatives.

        "raw_content": "Miss Manners: Guidelines for the gardener\nBy Judith Martin, Nicholas Martin, Jacobina Martin\nDear Miss Manners: Is it considered to be stealing if your gardener just helps himself to your lemons, oranges, etc.?\nIt depends on what is included in the \u201cet cetera\u201d \u2014 or in this case, what is under the pile of leaves in the back of the gardener\u2019s truck.\nHe has been hired to tend the garden, which, absent express authorization, is not a license to harvest or to hunt. He is expected to dispose of items that you would consider waste, even, Miss Manners notes, if he may not. This includes dead leaves, weeds and other floral detritus (even though he might be able to employ them elsewhere as fertilizer).\nIt does not include hanging fruit (high or low) or stray pets (dead or alive). Fruit that has fallen to the ground lies in unmarked territory as it has, technically, begun to decompose \u2014 even if it is still bouncing from the fall.\nAs it would be considerate to provide workers with some nourishment, you might wish to be more explicit and say that while your family plans to pick the apples this evening (though not to count them), you hope he and any assistants will enjoy one each as well.\nDear Miss Manners: I have grown increasingly frustrated with the need to decipher the time of social invitations. There was a party announced with an 8 p.m. start time, but knowing the host and the guests, I arrived at 9:30 and was still the first to arrive by a long margin.\nSometimes these parties happen in certain minority communities, and this behavior is excused with some self-effacing joke, claiming, \"It's just how we are, we always show up late.\" If I am looking forward to the event, I find it very frustrating to sit at home, waiting for the right time to leave so that I'll arrive at the expected lateness.\nIs there an acceptable way to ask a host to be frank about the hour they expect guests to arrive? Is there an acceptable way for a host to say that we would like to start the celebration at a particular time, with all guests present if at all possible?\nThis is an area where a lack of shared custom harms everyone, as most guests do not want to arrive early (or late) and most hosts prefer not to answer the door in their bathrobes.\nThese days, Miss Manners leans toward the simplest rule: namely, that guests should arrive near the stated time. This will not, unfortunately, solve your specific problem, which must be handled host by host, and perhaps party by party.\nIf you are in doubt about the expected time, call the host and, in the course of the conversation, ask what time he expects the other guests to arrive. This may not be the same time that the host would like them to be there, but it will save you from having to help set the table and put out the potato chips.\nNew Miss Manners columns are posted Monday through Saturday on washingtonpost.com/advice. You can send questions to Miss Manners at her website, missmanners.com.",

        "raw_content": "\u2018Won\u2019t You Be My Neighbor?\u2019 is poised to be a hit. And it might help redefine the meaning of \u2018Christian film.\u2019\nFred Rogers on the set of his show \"Mr. Rogers Neighborhood\" from the film, \"Won't You Be My Neighbor.\" (Jim Judkis/AP)\nMister Rogers is most famous as the sweater-clad television host who pioneered children\u2019s programming and, in later years, became America\u2019s unofficial comforter in chief. Now, 15 years after his death, he might be helping to rebrand Christian film.\n\u201cWon\u2019t You Be My Neighbor?,\u201d a new documentary about Rogers\u2019s life and career, is finally arriving in theaters after becoming a sniffle-inducing sensation at the Sundance Film Festival in January. As a collection of archival material, astute talking heads and snippets of interviews with Rogers himself, Morgan Neville\u2019s film isn\u2019t explicitly Christian. But as a portrait of an ordained Presbyterian minister who saw children\u2019s television both as his spiritual vocation and as a powerful means of evangelism, \u201cWon\u2019t You Be My Neighbor?\u201d delivers an unmistakable message, both in its depiction of pastoral service and its celebration of compassion, mutual respect and love at its most radically unconditional.\n\u201cWon\u2019t You Be My Neighbor?\u201d \u2014 whose trailer has been viewed an astonishing 3.5 million times on YouTube \u2014 may well join \u201cRBG\u201d as a documentary hit of the summer. And it will demonstrate yet again that there\u2019s an underserved Christian audience that is far more discerning, variable and open to being challenged than the conventional faith-based market realizes.\n[Four-star review: Mr. Rogers wasn\u2019t just a nice guy. This new documentary proves he was a quiet radical.]\nSo far this year, that market has seen one bona fide hit: \u201cI Can Only Imagine,\u201d the dramatized story of how the song of the same name came to be written, has earned an impressive $83 million in theaters, doing particularly well with evangelical audiences. But traditional Christian movies have also seen some slippage. The third installment of the \u201cGod\u2019s Not Dead\u201d series, for example, was greeted by a box-office take as dismal as its reviews.\nMeanwhile, an entirely different kind of movie is finding purchase with spectators who shy away from the twin poles of sentimentalized complacency and grievance that have historically defined Christian filmmaking. Although the New Testament-based drama \u201cPaul, Apostle of Christ\u201d earned just slightly more than $20 million, it represented an aesthetic leap forward in biblical storytelling in production values, acting prowess and themes of self-sacrifice and resistance.\n\u201cFirst Reformed,\u201d Paul Schrader\u2019s rigorous, often deeply unsettling portrait of a pastor wrestling with spiritual doubt, is poised to become an art-house sensation, drawing filmgoers eager to witness the triumphant comeback of the man who wrote \u201cRaging Bull\u201d and \u201cTaxi Driver,\u201d and to watch Ethan Hawke deliver one of the finest performances of his career. \u201cPope Francis: A Man of His Word\u201d is similarly positioned to become a hit with international audiences, especially Catholics.\nAs \u201cWon\u2019t You Be My Neighbor?\u201d makes its way to theaters, a large part of the audience will be the secular \u201cnone and dones\u201d who have either left the church or never joined, not to mention nostalgic baby boomers and Gen-Xers who harbor abiding affection for Rogers as the surrogate confidant of their youth. But just as many will be practicing Christians who are eager or at least unafraid to grapple with their own commitment to faith and spiritual practice but find themselves alienated by the pietism, naivete and clumsy sermonizing of films that seek either to stir them into a self-victimizing frenzy or reassure them with soft-focus uplift.\nErik Lokkesmoe, a former speechwriter in the George W. Bush administration, formed the marketing company Different Drummer with two friends 10 years ago to raise awareness of movies that live where faith, intellectual challenge and artistic sophistication happily reside. (He worked on such films as \u201cCalvary\u201d and Terrence Malick\u2019s \u201cTree of Life.\u201d) A few years ago, Lokkesmoe helped form the production, marketing and distribution company Aspiration Entertainment, where he distributed the biopic \u201cNoble\u201d and executive-produced \u201cLast Days in the Desert,\u201d starring Ewan McGregor.\nHaving signed on to help support the marketing campaign of \u201cWon\u2019t You Be My Neighbor?\u201d with faith-based audiences, Lokkesmoe is optimistic that the film will connect with what he calls the \u201cmiddle space\u201d of filmgoers, a cohort he estimates to be around 15 million in number. These viewers reject both the \u201cmass and crass\u201d sensibilities of the general movie marketplace and the \u201cteach and preach\u201d approach of traditional Christian films. Lokkesmoe is convinced that the way to appeal to his audience is through what he calls \u201cheart and smart.\u201d\nLokkesmoe compares \u201cThe Passion of the Christ,\u201d \u201cGod\u2019s Not Dead\u201d and similar \u201cevent\u201d movies to a downpour, which might create a momentary sensation but leave little of value in their wake. By contrast, he calls films such as \u201cFirst Reformed\u201d and \u201cWon\u2019t You Be My Neighbor?\u201d examples of the \u201cdroplet\u201d strategy.\n\u201cIt\u2019s like this steady drop of good storytelling, thoughtful, conversational art,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s for smarter, more soulful audiences who want to go see something that\u2019s worth two hours of their time and worth putting their cellphone down.\u201d Unlike downpour movies, the droplet audience is younger and not inclined to attend screenings organized by churches that buy out entire theaters to make a point. Instead, Lokkesmoe observes, they\u2019re \u201cpushing back on the confirmation movie, where you go to a movie not because it\u2019s good or you feel that its themes resonate with you or you want to be challenged or have a haunting experience after the credits roll. It\u2019s more, \u2018My friends are going, my church asked me to go, and I\u2019m going to go out and support this statement so that we can win, we can dominate.\u2019\u201d\nRather than domination, middle-space filmgoers crave reflection. Instead of winning, they welcome the chance to grapple with eternal questions of faith and forgiveness, hopelessness and grief. So far, this summer\u2019s movies are providing ample opportunity to do both \u2014 and amen to that.",

        "raw_content": "Cuba having a 'Bible boom'\nChristian Cubans\nImage: Wikimedia Commons more >\nBy Herb Scribner - Deseret News - Saturday, August 15, 2015\nAs the United States and its leaders push for a democratic revolution in the country, Cuba has also seen an increase in another belief: Christianity.\nChristian Today reported earlier this month that Cuba has seen a \u201cBible boom\u201d over the last few months. In fact, almost 83,000 copies of the Bible entered the country through the International Missions board last month, according to Christian Today.\nSimilarly, the American Bible Society, which started the \u201cMillion Bible Mission\u201d last year to spread Bibles across the world, gave about 60,000 Bibles to Cuba in 2014, according to Christian Today.\n\u201cWith a population of 11 million, a literacy rate of nearly 100 percent and an unprecedented growth in Christianity thanks to social, economic and political reforms, many Cubans are seeking guidance and hope found in God\u2019s Word,\u201d the American Bible Society said in a statement. \u201cAs a result of this unprecedented spiritual and cultural shift, demand for Bibles has outpaced supply. In addition, many Cubans cannot afford to import high-quality Bibles.\u201d\nPart of the surge may be because Cuba lifted its Bible ban back in May, according to Charisma News. The ban, which started 50 years ago, kept Bibles from bookshelves and only allowed them in churches, Charisma News reported.\nMore than just Bibles, Cuban Christians have also found other aspects of faith inspiring, like the Dead Sea scrolls and Jewish Torah scrolls that came to the country for 21 days last March, according to Christian Today.\n\u201cThere are some really exciting artifacts here that tell not only the history of how we got the Bible, but the impact that Spain and Latin America had on the history of the Bible,\u201d Norman Conrad, a curator at the Christian Heritage Museum in Cuba, told Christian Today.\nMore so, there\u2019s been tremendous support among Christian Cubans for Pope Francis. In fact, Cubans will get a chance to see Pope Francis later this year when he is scheduled to visit ahead of his arrival in the United States in September.\nPope Francis\u2019 visit to Cuba and the United States will be another effort by the pope to bring the countries together through faith.\n\u201cIt has been a special time in our country since the presidents of Cuba and the United States announced the process of \u00adre-establishing relations, and both of them thanked Pope Francis for his efforts to move the process forward,\u201d Orlando Marquez, the spokesman for the Havana Archdiocese, said in a statement. \u201cThat is well-known in Cuba, and the Cuban people are grateful.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "A fire crew member shields her face from the heat during a controlled burn at the Admiralty Inlet Natural Area Preserve near Coupeville in August.\nBefore Bob Wilken lowered his drip torch to ignite some dry grass, the husky, bearded man did something he\u2019s found essential when conducting controlled prairie burns.\nHe blew bubbles.\n\u201cBubbles tell us what the wind\u2019s doing before we put any smoke on the ground,\u201d said Wilken, a burn boss for the Center for Natural Lands Management. \u201cHot air rises. Cold air sinks. As the bubbles lift, they tell us the smoke\u2019s going to lift. If it gets cool, it drops. So it gives us a rough idea where the smoke\u2019s going and what our fire behavior is going to do.\u201d\nWilken was part of a large, specialized crew based in South Puget Sound asked by the Land Trust to conduct a controlled burn at the Admiralty Inlet Natural Area Preserve near Coupeville in late August.\nThe specialized crew conducts 90 to 100 such burns each summer, Wilken said.\nThe method is considered an important tool in helping restore rare native prairie habitat. The Admiralty Inlet Natural Area Preserve holds a prairie remnant that is home to the golden paintbrush, a state endangered and federally threatened plant species. Only 12 natural sites with golden paintbrush remain in the world.\nCenturies before European settlement, Native Americans used fire on prairies to keep out encroaching shrubs and trees so plants that provided food or medicine could thrive. Since the mid-1800s, much of that land has converted to other uses. Nowadays, controlled burning is used to help maintain open grassland habitat and improve conditions for germination of native prairie species.\nNearly three acres were burned at the Admiralty Inlet Preserve. It was the first time the technique was used there since 2011.\nA professional fire crew conducts a controlled burn at Admiralty Inlet Preserve in late August.\n\u201cThis burned better than any time I\u2019ve ever seen it before,\u201d said Mason McKinley, restoration and fire program manager for the Center for Natural Lands Management. \u201cOften up here you end up with a lot of moisture from the Sound and things don\u2019t dry out that well. With the dry weather that we\u2019ve had, it allowed the fuels to dry, which allows for a better fire, which allows for better seed establishment. That was as good as we could hope and still be a safe burn.\u201d\nThe crew that came to Whidbey Island in September was made up of more than 20 members from the Center for Natural Lands Management, the State Department of Natural Resources, Joint Base Lewis-McChord, and the Land Trust.\n\u201cWe get a really good feel for fires,\u201d said Wilken, who\u2019s been in the controlled burn business 42 years. \u201cWe get that from frequency of operations. That\u2019s one of the reasons we feel a lot more comfortable with hanging onto a rocket in a lot of ways.\u201d\nHanging onto a rocket?\n\u201cWell, managing fire,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re trying to manage fire behavior instead of fire managing us. So it\u2019s a lot of nuances as far as the tactics.\u201d",

        "title": "How Exactly Does Joint Custody Work?",
        "raw_content": "How Exactly Does Joint Custody Work?\nJoint custody is an important factor that may have been overlooked during the divorce process. Circumstances in the future can change and it is best to prepare ahead of time for any eventuality. Changing the custody of children after a divorce can be relatively simple if both parents agree, though relocation can be an issue later. The court will rule based upon what is in the best interests of the child.\nKelly Chang Rickert is a family law attorney in Los Angeles. \u201cIdeally, every family should have a mother figure and a father figure. It is what the legislature intended. Thus, barring any unusual circumstances such as abuse, domestic violence, or a cross-country move, the default arrangement should always be joint physical and joint legal custody.\u201d\nRobert J. Nachshin, Certified Family Law Specialist, Nachshin & Weston, LLP, Los Angeles, is co-author of \u201cI Do, You Do\u2026But Just Sign Here: A Quick and Easy Guide to Cohabitational, Prenuptial, and Postnuptial Agreements.\u201d \u201cEach state has its own guidelines. It is based upon the best interests of the child. California says it is the public policy of the state to ensure frequent and continuing contact with both parents after separation. The court considers which parent to be more likely to allow the child frequent contact with the other parent.\u201d\n\u201cIf contested, there must be a substantial change in circumstances or a strong reason why the custodial arrangement should be changed from one parent to joint custody,\u201d\u009d added attorney Henry S. Gornbein of Gornbein Smith Peskin-Shepherd PLLC of Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, a firm exclusively devoted to family law.\n\u201cThere are two categories of joint custody, joint legal custody, and joint physical custody. Joint legal custody gives both parents the authority to make decisions in areas such as medical, schooling, and religious instruction. Joint legal custody is granted in excess of 95 percent of all divorces in Michigan,\u201d\u009d Gornbein said.\n\u201cJoint physical custody involves the time the children spend living with either parent beyond the provisions of a sole custody order. Courts are granting more and more joint physical custodial arrangements,\u201d\u009d noted Gornbein. \u201cSome type of joint custodial arrangement is happening, perhaps in as many as 25 percent or more of the divorce cases with children that I am involved in.\u201d\u009d\nThere are additional variations of joint physical custody. Split custody concerns the custody of different children being awarded to different parents. Rotating custody switches the physical custody of the children and where they reside at different intervals such as monthly or annually. Birdnesting is an unusual arrangement where child resides in one home with the parents moving in and out at intervals like rotating custody.\nChang Rickert felt that joint legal custody is essential. \u201cThe non-custodial parent should always request joint legal custody. Legal custody is decision-making power. It governs decisions involving the health, education, and welfare of the child. As a parent, this is an important power and should never be waived.\u201d\u009d\nGayle Rosenwald Smith of Philadelphia, Pa., is a family law attorney and coauthor of the book, \u201cWhat Every Woman Should Know About Divorce and Custody: How to Keep the Kids, the Cash, and Your Sanity.\u201d \u201cI think it is best to always have joint legal custody. Otherwise, one parent may unilaterally decide and the other one is cut out. If there is a medical emergency, either parent should be able to sign if the other one isn\u2019t available.\u201d\u009d\n\u201cIt is highly advisable that you both reach a parenting plan and sign a stipulated agreement,\u201d\u009d Chang Rickert explained. \u201cA judge will sign it. It has the force and effect as an order. It is highly recommended that you reach an agreement rather than put the fate of your children into the hands of a stranger.\u201d\u009d\n\u201cDisappearing or relocating with the child is a major issue for many non-custodial parents. It is so much easier to stop a problem before it starts,\u201d\u009d advised Rosenwald Smith. \u201cIf there is any doubt about one parent disappearing with a child, police are very reluctant to get involved without a court order showing that the parent who is requesting help has the right to the child.\u201d\u009d\n\u201cIf you have joint custody at all, most courts will not allow \u2018legal or physical\u2019 custody to become a factor in preempting a move,\u201d\u009d said Nachshin. \u201cIf a parent has sole custody they will most likely be able to relocate without the non-custodial ex-spouse\u2019s permission or consent.\u201d\u009d\n\u201cPrimary physical custody is a legal label in California, and should not be assumed in a joint custody situation,\u201d\u009d cautioned Chang Rickert. \u201cIf established, the burden is on the non-custodial parent to prove that the move will be a \u2018detriment\u2019 to the child.\u201d\u009d\nThe Uniform Child Custody and Jurisdiction Enforcement Act (UCCJEA) has various rules on relocation according to Chang Rickert. \u201cThe state courts will usually do a UCCJEA conference, whereby one state will relinquish jurisdiction. Generally, the states will have comity with each other\u2019s rulings. Basically, if the child has been in the new state for more than s months, it will be deemed the proper state of jurisdiction.\u201d\u009d\nCircumstances can and will change, particularly as children get older. It is suggested that covering the bases on custody for any possibility be done in advance, preferably with the mutual consent of both parents. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.\nTIPS FROM ATTORNEYS\n1. Document time with child.\nGornbein advised, \u201cDocument the time spent and if there is a pattern where more and more time is being spent with a non-custodial parent, then it might be advisable for the non-custodial parent to seek joint physical custody.\u201d\u009d\n2. Communicate any changes.\nChang Rickert added, \u201cAlways articulate a change of circumstance in order to modify custody.\u201d\u009d\n3. Keep all visitation.\nRosenwald Smith noted, \u201cCustody cases are judged on the facts of each case. If a parent makes a great effort to go out of the way to make certain to have visitation, that goes a long way.\u201d\u009d\n4. Make a case for change.\nNachshin recommended, \u201cBe diligent in gathering your facts and documents that substantiate your reason for wanting to change the existing custody arrangement.\u201d\u009d\nAbout the author: Bruce McCracken is a seasoned journalist.

        "raw_content": "Africa Quick Facts\nLagos, Nigeria \u2013 21,000,000 (2014)\n54/55 (Disputed) (See List)\nMount Kilimanjaro / Lake Assal\nAfrica, known for safaris, wild animals, and the extreme poverty, is the second largest continent of the 7 continents in the world. It is rich in history, language, culture, and geographic diversity. Africa plays host to some of the most incredible deserts, mountains, animals, reptiles, birds, insects on planet earth.\nGeneral Information About Africa\nAfrica is comprised of 55 separate countries and nine territories, and two de facto states that are basically their own entities with no special rights or recognition. Africa is made up of approximately 11.7 square miles and has about 22% of the world\u2019s land mass. Africa has the world\u2019s youngest population, with half of their over billion people being under 19 years of age. Learn more about the countries of Africa.\nAfrica is comprised of desert, tropical, savanna grasslands, jungle and even subarctic climates. The top half of the continent is comprised of desert, and the Sahara Desert, the world\u2019s hottest desert, is located in Northern Africa, and at 3.5 million square miles is approximately the size of the United States or China. The Nile River, which runs through 11 different countries in Africa, is the longest in the world, over 4,000 miles long. The world\u2019s second largest lake and largest tropical lake is Lake Victoria, located in Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya. Africa is located in between the Atlantic Ocean and Indian Ocean, and to the north is the Mediterranean Sea. Africa is the only continent large enough to be in both the northern temperate and southern temperate zones. The equator also runs through several countries in Africa.\nAt 19,340 feet, the highest point in Africa is Mt. Kilimanjaro, located in Tanzania and is a popular mountain climbing destination. The lowest point on the African continent is Lake \u2018Asal, located in Djibouti, at 502 feet below sea level.\nAfrica is known for its many magnificent animal species, and many people come to Africa for the very purpose of catching a glimpse of these amazing animals in their native habitat. Among the most popular animals native to Africa are the African Elephant, Giraffe, Zebra, Vervet Monkey, Hippopotamus, Cheetah, Hyena, Lion, Gazelle, and Rhinoceros. Many African animals have earned distinctions, among these, the African Elephant is the world\u2019s largest land animal, the cheetah is the world\u2019s fastest land animal and the giraffe is the tallest animal on land. There are several species of fish native to Africa, and Lake Malawi has more species of fish recorded than any other lake in the world.\nEach country in Africa is independent and may not fall into the African economical stereotype, but as a whole Africa is a very poor continent. HIV/AIDS and malaria are two of the most deadly diseases, and they have ravaged many African countries, leaving orphans and extreme poverty in their wake. In addition, many governments are corrupt, and foreign aid money sent to various projects may not end up where it was designated.\nA recent United Nations report that identifies the poorest countries worldwide has stated that the poorest 25 nations in the world are all in Africa. In addition to the diseases above, the poverty can be due to lack of clean water sources, the political instability and wars that are common on the continent, and the difficulty of traveling to the nation\u2019s capitols where most jobs are available.\nThe People of Africa\nThere is great diversity in Africa, and there are many different native people groups. Many of these people groups have their own languages, and there are well over a thousand languages recognized on the African continent. Because of this, the African continent has the highest level of multilingualism in the world.\nThe people of Africa tend to be religious. Africa is a continent rich in diversity when it comes to religious beliefs. A majority of the inhabitants of Africa follow Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Judaism or other more traditional African religions. Only a small number of Africans do not consider themselves to be religious.\nWant to know more? See our 49 Amazing Facts about Africa!\nC.

        "title": "What Did Jesus Teach About Marriage?",
        "raw_content": "What Did Jesus Teach About Marriage?\nJesus taught several things about marriage, so what was Jesus\u2019 exact teaching on the institution of marriage, remarriage, and divorce?\nMarriage is not an institution created by mankind. It is an institution designed and created by God, and for the glory of God. After the creation of the universe and all living things, God then moved to create His highest being\u2026human beings, and it was said, that \u201cGod created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them\u201d (Gen 1:27). This was never said about any other creature or created thing. Only male and female are made in the image and likeness of God. God created them in His own image, but isn\u2019t God Spirit (John 4:24)? Yes, but the image God is speaking about is not a physical resemblance but a spiritual one. Mankind can choose, they have free will, they can make decisions that are good and godly. Mankind can think, ponder, plan, decide, and act totally outside of anyone else\u2019s will, so mankind is unlike any other creature God has ever created. He has a conscience. That makes them special, and in the beginning, they had fellowship with God, and God walked with them (Gen 3:8)\u2026until Eve was deceived and took of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, and her husband, Adam was not guiltless. He knew God forbid this but took it anyway. He was standing right alongside Eve and said nothing at all, so he has no excuse. Eve was deceived. Adam, not so! Anyway, in the beginning, \u201cthe Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. And the rib that the Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man\u201d (Gen 2:21-22), and then the Lord said, \u201cTherefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh\u201d (Gen 2:24). The two are now one\u2026in family, in purpose, and in unity. God created mankind, and then He created marriage.\nMarriage is one of the highest human relationships there are, if not the highest, and it is one that God takes seriously, and He expects us to take it seriously too. Marriage should never be entered into lightly. There must be a long, thoughtful process of counseling, learning about the other spouse\u2019s interests and desires, and there must be a basic understanding about how men and women are radically different from one another. They should know what the expectations of their spouse is. Do they plan on raising their children in the same church, or even having children, and if so, when? Do they plan on living in the country, a small town, or a big city? Do they expect to be at home every night or does one desire to go out more? What are the major differences in lifestyle? This relationship should never be taken lightly but with the forethought that marriage is meant for life. It\u2019s a lifetime commitment to one another made before God and before witnesses. It\u2019s a covenant, so to speak, and both parties are to be committed to the other for life. The Bible teaches that there is only one exception to this, and that is ongoing, unrepentant adultery. Marriage is created by God for the glory of God, and it must be a marriage that is undefiled before God. The author of Hebrews wrote, \u201cLet marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous\u201d (Heb 13:4). Clearly, marriage should be held in high honor, and the couple must remain faithful to one another. For all others, \u201cGod will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous\u201d (Heb 13:4), and that judgment will be fast and furious (Rev 21:8). The church at Corinth had issues with sexual immorality, so the Apostle Paul asks the question, \u201cOr do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality\u201d (1 Cor 6:9). In fact, we are \u201cnot to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of sexual immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or swindler\u2014not even to eat with such a one\u201d (1 Cor 5:11). Adultery is a work of the flesh, and \u201cthe works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God\u201d (Gal 5:19-21).\nJesus on Marriage\nJesus didn\u2019t leave much room for us to justify divorcing our spouse. Just after He said, \u201cWhoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce\u201d (Matt 5:31), He says \u201cthat everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery\u201d (Matt 5:32). Elsewhere, He says, \u201cEveryone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery\u201d (Luke 16:18). Concerning adultery, some believe an addiction to pornography is the same as adultery of the heart, based upon Jesus\u2019 teaching \u201cthat everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart\u201d (Matt 5:28), but is adultery of the heart the same thing as the physical act? Does a spouse whose mate is addicted to pornography have biblical grounds for divorce? What if the spouse falls and commits adultery one time, but then repents and confesses it to their spouse? Is that grounds for divorce? Of course, the very best thing would be for the offended spouse to forgive their spouse and let that be a life lesson for the spouse who fell into adultery, but some believe, it\u2019s one strike and you\u2019re out. I don\u2019t\u2019 believe this fits Jesus\u2019 teaching that we\u2019re to forgive seven times seventy (Matt 18:22), which means our forgiveness should be unlimited, but on the other hand, if a spouse continues to commit adultery and keeps coming back over and over again for forgiveness, have they really repented of it? These are tough questions that must be sought out, and it will take some time with a good, biblically solid Christian marriage counselor. Your pastor might not be able to handle this, depending on his education and experience. Several people have also brought up Paul\u2019s writing that if an unbelieving spouse leaves, the other spouse is not bound, but this has scholars somewhat divided on it actually being grounds for divorce if the other spouse leaves (1 Cor 7:15).\nIf you or someone you know is contemplating divorce, and especially on unbiblical grounds, I urge you to speak with them about the seriousness of divorcing a spouse, especially if there is no adultery in the marriage. God will hold us all accountable for our decisions, and He will base His judgment upon Scripture and not human tradition or human reasoning (or excuses). Divorce is always a last option for a spouse being cheated on. Reconciliation should always be on the table. We must leave room for the Spirit of God to work in their lives, if indeed He is in them at all. Satan is always in a hurry, but God never is. Think it through before you divorce. Seek counsel from a professional Christian counselor or pastor. Make sure you have a lot more than accounts or suspicions\u2026they must be absolutely true. Don\u2019t give up on your mate if they are cheating on you. If God can work even in a pagan king\u2019s heart (Prov 21:1), He can work in your spouse\u2019s heart too, or the heart of someone you know who is committing adultery. This doesn\u2019t mean you shouldn\u2019t warn them (Gal 6:1), but after you\u2019ve warned them of what Jesus taught, pray for them, and don\u2019t give up on them\u2026God never gives up on us (Heb 13:5), so we shouldn\u2019t give up on others either.\nHere is some related reading for you: Primary Causes of Divorce\nTagged as: Divorce, husband, Jesus teaching, Marriage, Remarriage, wife\npriscilla dube January 25, 2019 at 3:33 am\nit was a perfect and clear commentary on Jesus teaching and now i have kindley learn a lot on this topic\nPrevious post: What the Bible Says About Satan and Evil Spirits\nNext post: Book Review: Adored \u2013 365 Devotionals For Young Women",

        "raw_content": "Mark Walport\nGene 'edits' and other words that don't help\nThis article was first published in the April 2016 issue of WIRED magazine. Be the first to read WIRED's articles in print before they're posted online, and get your hands on loads of additional content by subscribing online.\nAbout 400 years ago, Francis Bacon, natural philosopher and Lord Chancellor, analysed the misconceptions and confusion that could be caused by poor choice of words, or\nby words that mean different things to different people. He described these as the \"Idols of the marketplace\", by which he meant the market of ideas between humans, driven by\nour use or abuse of words.\nNew technology creates a new marketplace of words, creating totally new words, and changing\nthe meaning and application of existing ones. In doing so, it has a potent opportunity to create new misconceptions and confusion.\nOne such example is gene \"editing\" - a new technology that is exciting biologists because it has the potential to make a single change in a genome sequence of billions of nucleotide base pairs. It is one thing to edit an article or a book - but quite another to edit a gene or an organism.\nGeneticists have borrowed the language of the publisher to describe the \"book of life\" - the sequence of chemical nucleotides that encodes the \"blueprint\" of cells, organs and organisms. So we \"read\"\nDNA sequences, and cancer is caused by \"typographical\" errors in DNA, resulting from inaccurate replication of DNA as cells divide. It is an attractive, if difficult, challenge for biotechnology to adapt and modify the editing mechanisms that have been discovered in nature, to develop technology that could cure or prevent cancer.\nSo far so good - but what about editing the DNA that we will transmit to future generations through the DNA of eggs and sperm? Now we are \"editing\" our descendants, and this starts to challenge our values. Science, engineering and technology discovers and invents new ways of doing things - but it doesn't dictate how we should do them. How should we proceed?\nMany families would like to avoid burdening future generations with inherited diseases such as haemophilia or severe developmental disorders. But most would think it wrong to edit the genes that influence the \"normal\" range of human variation, from eye colour to intelligence or athletic ability. This would challenge our values about what it means to be human, about what is natural and unnatural, about equity and fairness. And we also have to recognise that what is considered normal and abnormal is, at least in part, in the eye of the beholder.\nSo this technology challenges our fundamental values and beliefs about what is right and what is wrong. Are we on a slippery slope? We don't need to be; the bioethicist and philosopher John Harris has pointed out that slippery slopes can be approached wearing skis or crampons. We have proved adept in the UK at using crampons to negotiate such slippery slopes as those around embryonic and reproductive technologies. The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) was set up as a regulator to deal with these technologies as they\nare developed, engaging scientific and public audiences in parallel.\nWe could apply this approach to other areas of technological advance - for example, robotics and autonomous systems, the use of drones, machine learning and artificial intelligence. For it to happen, we need to find ways to conduct parallel discussions about the rigour and potential of the science, engineering and technology on the one hand - and on the societal and values issues on the other - and not to confuse the two. The HFEA shows the importance of a sustained capacity for informed public debate as science and technology continuously open up new possibilities. It also illustrates a\nkey role for trustworthy institutions to conduct the debate.\nBoth UK Houses of Parliament voted recently to allow medical scientists to proceed in a carefully regulated way towards the implementation of embryonic technology that could prevent the transmission of maternally inherited mitochondrial diseases. Could the approach to novel reproductive technologies be a model for other areas of emerging technology where \"science meets values\"? It is tempting to speculate that Francis Bacon would have been an active participant in these debates.\nMark Walport is government chief scientific adviser and head of the Government Office for Science.

        "raw_content": "Transformers: The Last Knight trailer sees a killer Optimus Prime...and King Arthur\nThe film is the fifth in the series of live-action adaptations of Hasbro's robot toyline, all directed by Michael Bay\nWe all knew it was coming, so let's pool our strengths to make it through the two minutes, nineteen seconds of the first full trailer for Transformers: The Last Knight.\nThe Last Knight is the fifth in the series of live-action adaptations of Hasbro's perennially popular robot toyline, all directed by Michael Bay. This latest entry seems to pick up from the soft-reboot of 2014's Age of Extinction, with Autobot leader Optimus Prime seemingly having died between movies. It's OK though - he gets better, and then stabs a sword through Bumblebee.\nBecause the series about giant transforming alien robots keeps insisting on throwing humans into the spotlight, the film also sees the return of Mark Wahlberg as Cade Yeager, who replaced Shia LaBeouf as the Autobots' main ally in the last film. Wahlberg is joined by Josh Duhamel and Tyrese Gibson, soldiers attached to special forces unit NEST, returning from 2011's Dark of the Moon, and Isabela Moner as Izabella, an orphan girl whose only friend in is a small Autobot named Sqweeks.\nIf you're a fan of Bumblebee only being able to speak in garbled radio broadcasts, you'll love Sqweeks - he can reportedly only say \"chihuahua\", due to taking damage.\nThe Last Knight is set to explore the long involvement of Cybertronians - the race the Autobots and Decepticons are splinter factions of - on Earth. According to the trailer's voiceover from Anthony Hopkins - yes, multi-award winning Anthony Hopkins - we'll find out \"why they keep coming here\". We'll also see \"two species at war, one flesh, one metal\". Hopkins' is playing an unnamed professor researching the Transformers' presence.\nAs part of its historical leanings, the film will also feature King Arthur, played by Liam Garrigan. Coincidentally, the actor previously played the mythical king in Disney's fairy tale drama Once Upon a Time. The Last Knight is set to tap into Camelot lore, with Merlin set to appear (Mitch Peleggi is also in the movie, in a yet-unrevealed role, and he could look the part, if Hopkins' character isn't Merlin in a twist). Expect the massive sword Optimus wields to be somehow related to Excalibur.\nMore interestingly, there are flashes of a giant, shape-shifting (possibly transforming planet-like structure.) This could end up being the live-action films' take on Unicron - aka, the chaos god of the Transformers universe, and main threat in the only good Transformers movie to date.\nTransformers: The Last Knight opens June 23, 2017, and will hopefully have a shorter run time than the 165 minutes of its immediate predecessor.",

        "raw_content": "Coping with Change: Resilient & Sustainable food systems, from theory to practice\nThe world is changing and is becoming more unpredictable and uncontrollable. This holds for both social and natural conditions, with climate change and globalisation being major drivers of change in the world. People around the world are increasingly exposed to extreme weather events, economic crises, food crises, disease epidemics, social instability and political conflicts. The resulting insecurity not only affects the global social and economic systems, but also (local) food systems and their farmers who stand at the basis of food production.\nInsecurity is inherently linked to farming and increasingly farmers and other food chain actors are dealing in many ways with multiple and simultaneous shocks and changes affecting food systems. While coping with increased insecurity, the agricultural sector also needs to face future challenges of feeding a growing and urbanising population with changing dietary demands and at the same time to reduce the environmental impact of agricultural activities. This requires sustainable intensification (getting more from less), with reduced vulnerability to perturbations and on a durable basis.\nWith these increasing uncertainties and future challenges in prospect, there is the need for development of resilient and sustainable food systems that can cope with unexpected shocks.\nOrion, gebouwnummer 103\n6708WH Wageningen\nResilience is one of the five Wageningen University & Research strategic investment themes, for which Wageningen Centre for Development Innovation is organising a half-day seminar including drinks afterwards on Wednesday, 12 April 2017 on the topic of resilient and sustainable food systems.\nWe invite you to explore with us the opportunities for resilient and sustainable food systems in a changing world. Several development scenarios for coping with change will be explored during the seminar, each with advantages and disadvantages and with different perspectives of interpretation. Current insights will be presented by keynote speakers and reflected upon by experts, followed by an interactive discussion.\nThe afternoon will be moderated by Krijn Poppe, Research Manager and Senior Economist at Wageningen Economic Research, Wageningen University & Research, and co-ordinator of the strategic investment theme resilience.\nIka Darnhofer\nAssociate Professor at the Institute of Agricultural and Forestry Economics, Department of Economic and Social Sciences, BOKU University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna.

        "raw_content": "What happens in a coal boomtown as China heads toward \u2018peak coal\u2019?\nOld buildings are torn down to make way for new construction in the city of Taiyuan, in the heart of China's coal-producing region. (Dustin Bleizeffer/WyoFile)\nMarch 24, 2015 by Environment & Energy News Leave a Comment\nby Coco Liu, E&E Asia correspondent\nOriginally published Wednesday, March 18, 2015, and republished here with permission from E&E.\nYULIN, China \u2014 The streets of this northwestern Chinese city were once packed with Ferraris, BMWs and other luxury cars. Now, they are all gone.\nAverage housing prices here have dropped by a quarter in two years. Driving across the city\u2019s downtown, you see vacant buildings and empty restaurants.\n\u201cThe business of coal companies here turned south since late 2012,\u201d Yang Cheng, a local driver, explained while passing by a closed hotel.\n\u201cYulin is a coal boomtown,\u201d Yang went on. \u201cOnce coal businesses are not in good shape, the whole economy has been affected.\u201d\nYang said that some companies in Yulin have already gone bankrupt and workers have been laid off. \u201cPeople from nearby areas used to come here for jobs; now, many return home. It feels the city has fewer and fewer people,\u201d Yang said.\nThe changes in Yulin are a clear indication of China\u2019s changing attitude toward coal. The country has relied on this resource for years to fuel its economy, making coal-rich Yulin one of the fastest-growing Chinese cities. But as China has started restructuring its economy and favoring cleaner energy sources, coal companies here have begun to feel the pain of falling demand.\nStatistics from the China Coal Industry Association show that in 2014, 7 out of 10 Chinese coal companies failed to make ends meet. And those that managed to stay profitable have seen a thinner profit margin.\nShenhua Group, the country\u2019s largest coal producer and the second-largest in the world, for one, said in its latest financial report that the company\u2019s profit dropped by 13.7 percent in the first three quarters of 2014 compared with a year ago.\nPainful path to reducing emissions\nFood workers prepare for the lunch hour in Taiyuan, in China\u2019s coal-producing region. (Dustin Bleizeffer/WyoFile)\nChina National Coal Group Corp. and Shaanxi Coal Industry Co. Ltd., two other Chinese coal mining majors, also reported a decrease of over 70 percent in profits during the same period.\nThe downturn is indicated not only in coal companies\u2019 financial reports but also in investment in the Chinese coal industry. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, China last year invested about $74.8 billion in coal mining and dressing facilities, about $7.8 billion less than in 2013.\nThe government agency said that the country\u2019s coal consumption also fell by 2.9 percent, or 118 million tons, in 2014 from the 2013 level, despite a growing overall energy demand. Official figures show that this is the first decline this century.\n\u201cThe decline rate \u2014 close to 3 percent \u2014 is by no means small,\u201d said Li Shuo, a researcher at Greenpeace China.\nAlvin Lin, China climate and energy policy director at the New York-based Natural Resources Defense Council, said, \u201cThis is an important reversal in longtime trends.\u201d\nAs Lin explained, although it is unclear whether China\u2019s coal consumption will rebound in coming years, the decline rate suggests an increased likelihood that China can peak its coal use by 2020, if not earlier.\n\u201cIn other words, we are unlikely to see the coal boom that China has experienced in the last decade,\u201d Lin said.\nExperts attribute the change to economic restructuring. Over the past few years, China has been shifting away from the steel, cement and glass industries, all of which are power-hungry.\nBesides that, the country has been trying hard to feed its energy mix with more renewable energy sources. Already the world\u2019s top wind power market, China hooked up an additional 19.8 gigawatts of wind turbines to the grid last year. It also added more solar panels than any other nation in 2014.\nBut for Chinese coal miners, that means fewer orders for their products. As the companies\u2019 sales shrink, so does their ability to pay workers. Earlier this month, when representatives from all over China met in Beijing for the annual Congress conference, a delegate told reporters that about 23,000 workers at his company already had not been paid for two months.\nAnd the impact of China\u2019s decline in coal use may go beyond the border. In 2014, Chinese coal imports dropped by 10.9 percent year over year. Analysts called this bad news for global coal miners, who had hoped Chinese coal imports would save them from collapsing markets in the West.\nCoal conversion \u2014 a risky business\nChina is working on technologies to derive more profitable products from coal. The Yanchang Coal and Petroleum Chemical Industry Park in Shaanxi Province converts coal, oil and natural gas into myriad products, such as methanol, ethanol, propylene and even some high-carbon building materials. (Dustin Bleizeffer/WyoFile)\nAs bad as it may sound now, the pain could get even worse. China plans to limit its annual coal consumption to 4.2 billion tons at the end of the decade, but its current production capacity has already surpassed 4 billion tons, with an additional 1 billion tons in the pipeline.\nChinese policymakers have been scrambling for ways to help close that gap. The government here has shut down nearly 6,000 coal mines in the past four years. It also has pulled in the approval of new mining projects in eastern China.\nOn top of that, China\u2019s central planners have called for diversifying the use of coal. And companies here have responded by tapping into coal conversion technologies (ClimateWire, Feb. 23).\nAcross the nation, at least 16 coal-to-liquids projects have been built, are under construction or are in advanced planning stages. There are also plants that convert coal into chemicals or synthetic natural gas.\nSuch moves have raised worries inside and outside China. Environmentalists have blamed coal conversion projects for their huge water intake and for carbon pollution. And others have questioned coal conversion projects from an economic perspective.\n\u201cThis will have big risks,\u201d said Jiang Kejun, a researcher at the Beijing-based Energy Research Institute under the National Development and Reform Commission.\nAs Jiang explained, the efficiency of coal conversion technologies remains low, and coal-derived liquid fuels or coal-based synthetic gas have lost their price advantage due to falling prices for conventional energy sources.\nCoal \u2018will certainly be back\u2019 \u2014 or will it?\nChina\u2019s efforts to limit coal production can\u2019t save the troubled coal industry, either, Jiang said. He added that \u201cthe decrease of coal use is decided by demand, rather than supply. Our projection is that coal will peak around 2016.\u201d\nBut some researchers at the Chinese coal industry simply do not believe that the glory days are over.\n\u201cThe share of coal in China\u2019s energy mix will decrease, but its total volume won\u2019t,\u201d said Tian Yajun, a researcher at Shenhua Group\u2019s National Institute of Clean and Low-carbon Energy.\n\u201cEconomic restructuring does not happen in one or two years, but in one or two decades. China\u2019s urbanization will also boost the demand for energy. Where can you find sufficient energy supplies if not using coal?\u201d he said.\n\u201cChinese coal companies have gone through much tougher times,\u201d Tian continued. \u201cBack to the early 1990s, when coal mines were up for sale, no one would buy. Now, you have no place to buy coal mines even if you want to.\n\u201cEvery industry has its ups and downs. China\u2019s coal industry will certainly be back,\u201d Tian said.\nFor more on this topic, read these WyoFile stories:\nWyoming, China dream of a coal-chemical bridge to future energy, August 2014\nReasons differ, but Wyoming and China agree on cutting CO2 from coal, August 5\nWyo-Sino: Formalities precede Wyoming-China coal tech exchange, June 25\nWyoming lawmakers talk carbon cooperation in China summit, June 9\nFiled Under: energy, Featured, Policy, This Week\nAbout Environment & Energy News",

        "raw_content": "How To Stand Up\nPart of James Martinez Ministries, Your First Step is designed to help the needy and the broken get back to a good place spiritually. We all face adversity, it comes with being a part of life on earth. The thing is to know when we\u2019re down that there\u2019s a reason for it.\nStanding back upright requires a shift in ones perspective while making the choice to take that first step toward living faithfully and abundantly with God. Your First Step was created with the purpose of reminding the fallen how to stand up and walk again.\nThank you for your generosity and loving support should you chose to help us moving this outreach program forward. Meanwhile we hope to inspire you to a greater life in love. God bless you, from James Martinez Ministries and Your First Step Outreach.\nPerspective is an important part of our lives, how we see ourselves and the world really matters. Many lose sight of how powerful they are and what we\u2019re capable of. There in lies the biggest reason for knowing The Truth of life and walking on the path leading to it. God said we\u2019re capable of all things, all we need we have as we need it, and with Him all things are possible. The world can be a challenging place if we lose sight of this. I found this to be the most common factor in those who think themselves to be lacking. (this includes food, shelter, finance, love) You can have all you need.\nMany fall and get caught up not living right trying to do something for the wrong reasons. Its hard to get past the issues causing our own pain and suffering when we can\u2019t see where the troubles coming from. Thing is to realize why, then accept where we are and chose to strive for better. Many lost sight of \u201cThe Way\u201d and are met with opposition because of it causing them to accept defeat, remain stuck, misunderstanding altogether life\u2019s happening for them not to them. Our lives are the way they are for a reason, how we perceive determines much. We\u2019re just not meant to go it alone.\nLet\u2019s take a look at some of the symptoms and some of the results of those symptoms; all avoidable if one is to adopt a more loving and faithful perspective towards life . . .\nPoverty, fear, famine, worry, hatred, sickness, homelessness, doubt, self-destruction, inequity, inequality, strife, lack of education, war, vengeance, religious conflict, apathy, faithlessness, lack of accountability, lack of integrity and carelessness.\nWhy do we see so much despair in the world? Why do so many suffer? This question is relative, there are powers that be who try and push their views onto us, then there are individual circumstance we experience and are meant to grow from. The key is to be in love as we move through life. To carry a faithful perspective remembering God\u2019s promise that says we can have all we need when we need it.\nPeople suffer at the hands of the unrighteous and the unjust, this is sadly one of the consequences of those who fall away from God. This is not a new lesson but where we as a society have fallen short is in recognizing such ungodly behavior and rather than addressing the true issue (the spiritual side) we\u2019ve adopted a half truth sort of view which perpetuates the suffering.\nTo understand the issue we need to have a clear understanding of the solution. God\u2019s Word and living upright in The Way He asks reveals this. This not only resolves the needless suffering it helps us stand back upright living on purpose. God said we can have all we need, that all things are possible, He said there\u2019s more than enough for everyone yet people try and operate from a place of lack. Why?\nBecause those suffering needlessly have fallen away from God out of love they experience the consequence. Your First Step is committed to help guide us back to The Truth of life by simply reminding us who are and what we\u2019re doing here.\nLife is not on accident. Each of us is created on purpose and with purpose. We are each of us given free will, herein lies one of the biggest decisions. Will we choose life or death? If we chose life we must allow for The Way to be present. (thus revealing God\u2019s character)\nSimple lesson.\nThe solution = more God. Be in love.\nGet into The Word, choose life, put God first and start exercising your faith. When you remember who you are and what we\u2019re all capable of you\u2019ll realize you can do the most amazing things. There\u2019s nothing holding you back, you can have all you need. There are no limits and all things are possible with God. To see people suffering needlessly is a terrible reminder of what happens to us as we fall away from God.\nThe world is the world for a reason. Think of it as a classroom, we can either learn to live or we learn to die. Forever is a real place and only in love can we live there. Those who\u2019ve lost sight of this sadly falter with The Way and end up falling down. Some of us never learn to stand upright again. We\u2019re committed to helping the ones suffering stand back up again and take that first step. You can because God can, think about it.\nThere\u2019s so much to consider when examining one\u2019s own life and where we are in relation to The Truth. Are we upright, if so are we moving in the right directions, and if not then why not? Having God first is \u201cThe Key\u201d the faithful know this. God revealed this to the world, those who\u2019ve lost sight of it are the ones suffering themselves and the ways of the world. Put God first and all things fall into place.\nNobody likes suffering, nobody wants for others to hurt. We can\u2019t pretend those who suffer needlessly are any different than we are. We all share the responsibility of giving help to those in need. We can\u2019t close our eyes to the issues of this world and think they\u2019ll go away. We must stand together with God to overcome whatever we\u2019re faced with.\nThe solution = More God!\nHow to stand back upright with God\nIts simple really, there is no good in the flesh. It does not want to do what is right by God. If we only serve our selves, we go against Him. We must choose life and decide to repent from sin.\nRepentance is not when you cry, its when you change. To repent from sin is to turn from it vowing to go back with God (doing right by Him.) It leads to salvation and getting back into God\u2019s grace.\nThis means being considerate of Him The Way He is always considerate of us. What does God want for our lives, is what we want what He wants? Putting Him first is looking at life through His eyes.\nLet go of the world\nWorldliness goes hand in hand with unrighteousness. Its caused so much pain and suffering since the beginning. Let go of the world, we\u2019re all just passing thru.\nGo after Him, seek Him diligently with all your might. Thirst for His Ways, make them your ways and He will quench your thirst. He wants those after His own heart.\nLife and death is a choice. We learn to live or we die. Its this simple and this hard. The world tries to take us from God, if we chose life with Him \u2013 we\u2019ll make it.\nThis world was created by faith, God thought it, He spoke it and it came into life. We all possess the same ability, in fact that\u2019s how we create everything. Faith works with belief, not doubt \u2013 speak life.\nGet into alignment\nLearning to do right by God takes practice. This is the reason for knowing His Word, its also the reason we should live The Way pleasing to Him. The worlds ways are not God\u2019s ways. What would Jesus do?\nForgive & be forgiven\nToo often we forget God is The Author Of Life, people try and judge others without having all the facts. This in turn causes a lot of separation towards others. Be compassionate and forgiving, be at peace.\nThank you for your support, God bless you\n\u00a9 Copyright 2017 - 2018 - James Martinez | Aswan Creations LLC | Beyond Yonder Films\nJM Ministries INC | A Transcendent Realm | Eternus Spirare | Our Spiritual Gardens | Your First Step | Aswan SEO Service",

        "raw_content": "What Bubble? Silicon Valley Homes Going For Nearly $2 Million Over Asking Price\nIf you're still holding out hope that the following chart is anything but another massive housing bubble in the making then you should probably ignore the disturbing evidence to the contrary that we're about to present below...\nBack in 2005/2006, one of the key signs that housing markets across the country were overheating was the number of houses that, thanks to soaring demand from speculators, were suddenly selling at prices well in excess of their asking price. That said, as a local CBS affiliate in San Francisco points out, the premiums of 2005/2006 pale in comparison to homes in Silicon Valley today that are selling for as much as $1-$2 million over their original asking prices.\nBut if you thought they area housing market couldn\u2019t get any more outrageous, consider a home on Colorado Avenue in Palo Alto.\nIt listed for $2.9 million, but sold for $3.9 million, $1 million over asking price.\nAnother home on Anacapa Drive in the Los Altos hills listed for $2.8 million, but sold for $4.5 million. That is $1.67 million over asking.\nFinally, there is this home on University Avenue in Los Altos that listed at $7.9 million, but sold for $1.8 million over asking.\nIn 2017, 10 homes in the mid-Peninsula area sold for $1 million over asking. Six of those listings belonged to Deleon Realty.\nBut, lest you're worried that the U.S. financial system is at risk of collapsing again for the second time in under a decade courtesy of another housing bubble, realtor Mike Repka of Deleon Realty would like to assure you that paying $2 million over asking price for a home in Silicon Valley is no more excessive than dropping an extra $100 on that silent charity auction for your kid's basketball team. \u201cAnyone who\u2019s been to a charity auction knows they get caught up and they say they\u2019re going to stop at a certain point, and they raise that paddle one or two last times,\u201d said Repka. \u201cWhen you have 12 people doing that it can make a real difference.\u201d\nThat said, Lan Bowling with competing realtor Keller Williams in Silicon Valley has a slightly different, if somewhat more boring, take on how to price homes saying her own \"personal philosophy is to simply price homes what they\u2019re worth\"...which is a genius plan if we understand it correctly.\nOf course, until everyone in Silicon Valley comes around to Bowling's way of thinking, we suspect residents earning less than $500k per year are going be living out of their late-90's era recreational vehicles for a bit longer...",

        "raw_content": "EEOC Proposes Regulations Describing Federal Government\u2019s Obligation to Engage in Affirmative Action for People with Disabilities\nCommission Seeks Public Comment on Proposed Rule Implementing Section 501 of the Rehabilitation Act\nWASHINGTON - The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) today published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) describing specific actions that federal agencies must take to comply with their obligation to engage in affirmative action in employment for individuals with disabilities. The NPRM is available in the Public Inspection portion of the Federal Register, and will be officially published February 24, 2016. Members of the public have 60 days from that date, April 25, 2016, to submit comments. EEOC has also published a question-and-answer document on the NPRM and a document providing background information and a summary of the NPRM.\nSection 501 of the Rehabilitation Act requires federal agencies to create affirmative action plans for the employment of people with disabilities, and to submit those plans to EEOC for approval. On May 15, 2014, EEOC published an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) asking for public input on how the EEOC should revise its regulations to clarify what an affirmative action plan must include in order to be approved.\nThe proposed rule reaffirms the federal government's commitment to being a model employer of people with disabilities. It would require federal agencies to adopt the goal of achieving a 12% representation rate for individuals with disabilities, and a 2% representation rate for individuals with targeted/severe disabilities. Targeted disabilities are those that the government has, for several decades, placed aspecial emphasis on in hiring because they pose the greatest barriers to employment. The goals would apply at both higher and lower levels of federal employment. Hiring efforts would be further improved through focused recruitment efforts and simplified access to disability hiring programs and services.\nIn addition to setting numerical goals and requiring enhanced efforts to hire individuals with disabilities, the proposed rule would require agencies to provide personal assistance services to employees who, because of a disability, need these services to help with activities such as eating and using the restroom while at work.\nThe proposal would also collect into a single rule, longstanding requirements found in a variety of sources, including management directives and Executive Orders. This will provide clarity for federal agencies for the development of their affirmative action plans. The proposed rule does not impose any obligations on private businesses or state and local governments.\n\"The federal government has a special responsibility to lead by example in serving as a model employer for people with disabilities in the workforce,\" said EEOC Chair Jenny Yang. \"This proposal offers concrete steps and accountability mechanisms to promote employment and advancement opportunities for people with disabilities, including individuals with targeted or severe disabilities.\"\nCommissioner Chai R. Feldblum, who led an internal work group that developed the NPRM, added, \"This rule can be a game-changer in increasing the employment of people with disabilities in the federal government. Since 2013, federal contractors have been required to meet goals for the employment of individuals with disabilities. EEOC's proposed rule will hold the federal government to an even higher standard, particularly with regard to hiring people with targeted disabilities and providing personal assistance services.\"\nThe Commission invites comments on any aspect of the proposed rule from members of the public. In addition, the Commission invites responses to a number of specific questions posed in the preamble of the NPRM. Methods for commenting are specified in the notice in the Federal Register, and EEOC will consider all public comments before finalizing the rule. The final rule also will be coordinated with other federal agencies and reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget before becoming effective.",

DDC educational programs are conducted through its STEAM initiative, which partners with DOE and the NYC Department of Youth & Community Development (DYCD) to bring initiatives such as the Young Engineers Program to students citywide. Overall, DDC STEAM has engaged 2,289 students in various programs since its inception in 2015, working exclusively with Title I schools.\nNYC public middle school teachers practice activities from the \u201cBuilding the Future\u201d curriculum at Stuyvesant HS this week\n\u201cBy teaching the teachers we are able to greatly increase the number of young people we can engage with our STEAM programming, introducing them to career opportunities they may not have imagined for themselves before,\u201d said DDC Acting Commissioner Ana Barrio. \u201cDDC STEAM has opened many doors to young people throughout the City as they continue their personal development.\u201d\n\u201cOur STEM educators are doing great work across the City, and it was so exciting to meet with \u2013 and have to opportunity to speak to \u2013 some of the them on Tuesday at the STEM Institute,\u201d said Schools Chancellor Richard A. Carranza. \u201cI thank DDC for its support for NYC educators and students, including the \u2018Building the Future\u2019 workshop at the STEM Institute. The partnership we\u2019re building is opening doors for our students, the next generation of architects, engineers and innovators.\u201d\n\u201cOur goal with DDC STEAM professional development is to bring math and science concepts to life and to bring engineering and problem solving to NYC students. In our Train the Trainer sessions, we give educators, in this case, New York City Public School teachers enrolled in the DOE STEM Institute, the opportunity to explore the concepts and methodologies in a fun environment so they are confident implementing the program. It was wonderful to see how excited the teachers were as they performed the very same experiments their students will be implementing in the classroom,\u201d said DDC Deputy Commissioner for Community Partnerships & STEAM Initiatives Lee Llambelis.\nDDC\u2019s \u201cBuilding the Future\u201d curriculum emphasizes the structural characteristics of 3D shapes, bridge engineering, constructing with I-beams, creating building models and green technologies such as bioswales, tower gardens and green roofs. The curriculum was developed by DDC\u2019s office of Community Partnerships and STEAM in partnership with Dr. Leonisa Ardizzone, a science educator and founder of Storefront Science. It is currently being implemented as part of the Young Engineers Program, a program designed to teach middle school students the fundamentals of environmentally responsible city planning as it pertains to public buildings and infrastructure.\nAs part of the training, DOE middle school teachers performed many of the activities that students in the program go through, including modeling buildings, infrastructure, homes, bridges, public areas and streetscapes to demonstrate design and construction methods that can better withstand climate change and rising sea levels.\nThe teachers in this week\u2019s program represent 27 separate middle schools. DDC STEAM has helped organize five professional development workshops since June 2017, reaching 99 instructors from 68 schools or organizations from every borough.\nOther successful DDC STEAM programs include Opportunity Academy, the Ace Mentor Program, Town & Gown and the High School Summer Internship program a six-week paid internship program for students interested in pursuing careers in architecture, engineering, building trades, public administration, business administration or information technology.\nAbout the NYC Department of Design and Construction\nThe Department of Design and Construction is the City\u2019s primary capital construction project manager. In supporting Mayor de Blasio\u2019s long-term vision of growth, sustainability, resiliency, equity and healthy living, DDC provides communities with new or renovated public buildings such as firehouses, libraries, police precincts, and new or upgraded roads, sewers and water mains in all five boroughs. To manage this $13 billion portfolio, DDC partners with other City agencies, architects and consultants, whose experience bring efficient, innovative and environmentally-conscious design and construction strategies to City projects.

        "title": "One Million B.C.",
        "raw_content": "One Million B.C. / Man and His Mate / Cave Man / The Cave Dwellers / Battle of the Giants (1940) -**\u00bd\nI would be very surprised to hear that more than a handful of my readers had seen One Million B.C. It rarely shows up on television anymore, it was never in very wide circulation on VHS, and so far as I can tell, it has yet to be released at all on DVD; consequently, it\u2019s pretty damned obscure despite having been a huge hit at the box office in 1940, and having been famously remade by Hammer Film Productions in the mid-1960\u2019s. Nevertheless, I put the odds at about nineteen in twenty that every single person reading this review has encountered some of One Million B.C.\u2019s special effects footage at least once. I know of no other movie that has been so frequently and extensively raided by filmmakers who wanted impressive footage of battling dinosaurs and erupting volcanoes, but didn\u2019t have the money in their budgets to pay for it. One Million B.C.\u2019s biggest set-pieces\u2014 most notably the signature sequence in which a young alligator masquerading as a Dimetrodon wrestles with a large monitor lizard masquerading as I\u2019m not really sure what\u2014 have turned up in so many movies that compiling a truly comprehensive list becomes a labor of film scholarship that could consume an entire lifetime: Prehistoric Women, Teenage Caveman, Robot Monster, King Dinosaur, Valley of the Dragons, Horror of the Blood Monsters, and heaven alone knows what else. At a further and extremely bizarre remove, When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth includes a meticulously staged reenactment of the infamous dino-fight. It\u2019s a strange form of immortality with which the gods have favored Hal Roach\u2019s antiquated caveman opus, but immortality just the same.\nCuriously, Roach apparently lacked the confidence to jump right into the prehistoric action. Instead, One Million B.C. wastes a bit of time on a framing story that seems meant to assure us that the events to follow\u2014 or something very much like them, anyway\u2014 could easily have happened in the distant past. This assertion of scientific veracity might have been a trifle more convincing coming from a movie that didn\u2019t have its primitive humans living side-by-side with dinosaurs. In the framing story, a group of mountaineering tourists in what I take to be Germany\u2014 how else to explain the guide\u2019s lederhosen?\u2014 duck into a cave to seek shelter from a thunderstorm. When the guide (Robert Kent, from The Phantom Creeps and She Shoulda Said No) goes a little deeper inside (presumably to make sure the cave isn\u2019t already being used by, say, a family of grizzly bears), he encounters an anthropologist (Conrad Nagel, from Kongo and The Thirteenth Chair) hard at work studying the ancient paintings that adorn the walls of the inner chamber. The scientist explains to his unexpected guests that the paintings actually tell a coherent story about the lives of the people who once lived in the cave, and since it\u2019s not like they\u2019ve got anything better to do, the tourists ask him to tell them all about it. (Cue universal flashback shimmer.)\nThe first cave-people we meet are obviously not the ones who created the paintings. In fact, the Rock Tribe (as our archeologist narrator dubs them) haven\u2019t even gotten around yet to inventing very many useful things. Their most advanced tool appears to be the wooden walloping stick, and though they hunt in relatively large parties accompanied by domesticated dogs, they don\u2019t go in for teamwork and the dogs don\u2019t seem to serve any real function. As we see when Tumak (Victor Mature), son of Chief Akhoba (Lon Chaney Jr.), is turned loose to make his first kill, the rest of the mob just stands there on the nearest hill while the hunter in action brains his prey with his stick and/or wrestles it into submission, not taking any action until the issue is decided one way or the other. True, the system seems to work for them, as Tumak manages to bring down a baby Triceratops, but the Rock Tribe\u2019s hunting strategy is so obviously inefficient that it comes as a major shock a bit later when we see that they know how to use fire. Organization within the tribe is on a strict might-makes-right basis, with the biggest bad-ass in the tribe calling all the shots and smacking down anyone who tries to disagree with him. Mealtime is an occasion for a free-for-all of thievery, intimidation, and physical violence, with the strongest members of the tribe getting whatever they want and the women, children, and elderly getting whatever is left. Nor do the Rock People have any notion of family loyalty, for Akhoba thinks nothing of trying to steal Tumak\u2019s share after his own considerable portion leaves him unsatisfied. Tumak doesn\u2019t back down, however, and father and son end up fighting with their sticks before the entrance to the tribe\u2019s home cave. Akhoba wins decisively, but Tumak manages to slink away before his old man gets it into his head to come back down from the cave and finish him off.\nTumak\u2019s subsequent travels bring him eventually to the home of a different tribe, which the archaeologist calls the Shell Tribe. This is an interesting point, because the Shell People obviously live nowhere near the sea, and yet those shells they use to make so many of their tools just as obviously come from marine mollusks. Don\u2019t ask me. Anyway, the first member of the tribe to spot Tumak as he sleeps along the bank of their favorite fishing stream is a girl named Loana (Carole Landis). The sight of the strapping young stranger gets her excited, and she summons the rest of the tribe to help her bring him back to the cave where they make their home. This, in case you were wondering, is the cave where the tourists will encounter our narrator a million years or so hence, and on the off-chance that you\u2019re curious about this, too, we\u2019ll never see hide nor hair of that narrator again. Makes you wonder why they bothered with him in the first place. Regardless, Tumak\u2019s trip to the Shell Tribe\u2019s cave, and his hosts\u2019 subsequent efforts to assimilate him, lead to what must surely be the only time any member of the Rock Tribe has ever contributed anything to the intellectual life of the species, for Tumak almost immediately discovers the phenomenon of culture shock. It isn\u2019t just in such practical areas as tools and weapons that the Shell Tribe is dramatically more advanced than his own people, but in virtually every imaginable field of human endeavor. The Shell People have art. They have horticulture. They have jewelry and other decorative handicrafts. Most importantly, they have a social structure based on sharing and cooperation, and they quite obviously value skill and intelligence over brute strength\u2014 Loana\u2019s father, Chief Peytow (Nigel De Brulier, from The Monkey\u2019s Paw and The Hunchback of Notre Dame), wouldn\u2019t last very long as a leader of the Rock Tribe.\nTumak tries his best to fit in with the Shell People, but it\u2019s understandably very difficult for him. It certainly helps Tumak\u2019s popularity that he has the strength to harvest bushels of fruit in mere seconds by shaking the trunk of a tree, or to defend the cave by going toe-to-toe with a man-in-a-suit teratosaur, but the possessiveness, greed, and distrustfulness that enabled him to survive among his own people get him into no end of trouble in his new home. He can\u2019t seem to wrap his mind around the concept of property rights, and as soon as he figures out what a spear can do, he keeps trying to steal one from Loana\u2019s sort-of boyfriend, Ahtao (John Hubbard, of The Mummy\u2019s Tomb). Eventually, Tumak makes such a pest of himself that the Shell People, accommodating though they are, see no choice but to vote him off the island. Loana (the fickle bitch) goes with him when he sulks off into exile, however, and thus it is that Tumak is able to bring some measure of civilization with him when he returns to the haunts of the Rock Tribe. This works out especially well for Akhoba, who was wounded by a buffalo not long after Tumak\u2019s banishment, and who has since been forced to cede the chieftanship to a younger man named Skakana (Edgar Edwards, from Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe). Indeed, one wonders how Akhoba has managed to survive at all, since it hardly seems as though his mate, Tokana (Monster from the Ocean Floor\u2019s Inez Palange), is up to the challenge of protecting and supporting him. But even after Tumak asserts himself over Skakana and Loana introduces the Rock People to the boons of gardening, spear-making, and common human decency, let\u2019s not make too rosy a prediction for the tribe\u2019s future. I mean, what\u2019s a caveman movie without an erupting volcano?\nI\u2019m of two minds\u2014 you know what? Let\u2019s make that three\u2014 about One Million B.C. To begin with, the sheer dopiness of this movie is undeniable, and thence derives the vast bulk of its appeal. The go-nowhere framing story, the hapless stab at a made-up language for the cavemen, the iguanas and armadillos pretending to be dinosaurs, the various mad efforts to sell us on the legitimacy of the film\u2019s desperately bad paleontology\u2014 in just about every way, One Million B.C. set the notoriously low standard for all the cheap-ass caveman movies to come. On the other hand, there is at least one respect in which producer Hal Roach Sr. and his writer/director son tried very hard with this picture. They wanted spectacle, and every penny of the admittedly inadequate budget unquestionably wound up on the screen. When seen in its original context, the frequently reused dinosaur footage is actually sort of impressive in the sense of being very well integrated with the surrounding non-miniature material. When the giant iguana lays siege to the Shell Tribe\u2019s cave during the second half of the climax, nobody would ever mistake it for anything but an iguana, but damned if it doesn\u2019t look like it really is 70 feet long and standing right there in the thick of the action. Honestly, it isn\u2019t so hard to imagine, after seeing One Million B.C., why so many would-be purveyors of B-grade monster flicks over the next 30-odd years would come here to have their dinosaur needs seen to. The Roach gang sure as hell made a better go of it than the makers of 1960\u2019s The Lost World!\nBut then there\u2019s that third mind I mentioned, one last issue that needs to be addressed: One Million B.C. is not a film for animal lovers. Indeed, it really ought to conclude with a notice reading, \u201cNo animals escaped harm during the making of this picture.\u201d You know that shot in King Kong where Carl Denham leads his men past the gigantic body of the dying Stegosaurus? Well, something very similar happens here, only it\u2019s a real monitor lizard rather than a rubber Stegosaurus, and it really is dying! As Tumak and Loana traverse the jungle between the two tribes\u2019 homes, they are menaced by a giant snake. Their salvation comes when the serpent is killed (for real) and eaten (for real) by something even bigger and fiercer. The iguana battle ends with the lizard being buried beneath a landslide, and once again an animal is subjected to treatment that I can\u2019t imagine it surviving\u2014 although that time we aren\u2019t explicitly presented with the death-throes. It\u2019s almost worthy of Ruggero Deodato, and anyone considering giving One Million B.C. a look should think seriously about whether that\u2019s something they\u2019re prepared to watch.",

        "raw_content": "Our missionaries across Africa are laboring in some of the most dangerous, yet rewarding places on earth, and it is our joy to partner our labors together with churches all over America. The Gospel is being spread in Africa as never before with 287 established churches, several radio stations, and Bible translation teams! Coupled with over thirty Bible colleges, multiple Christian schools and orphanages, the national Christians are being trained and prepared to continue the process of missions to the regions beyond them.\nMissionaries are using a multi-pronged approach in spreading the Gospel in this sensitive region and are seeing more fruit in recent years than has been visible in the past decades. Doors are truly opening in this region.\nThis is a popular region for missionary work and is where the bulk of our missionaries serve today. In spite of this, there are many areas of extreme need and opportunity! This region is ideal for those wishing to work in a team ministry\nLaborers to start new churches are greatly needs as those who would partner with a national church or missionary. Due to past instability in this region, many hearts are open and ready to receive the Gospel.\nThis is one of the most needy regions of Africa when it comes to the Gospel. It is also the area with fewest BIMI missionaries. Laborers with a pioneering spirit are needed to forge ahead into these new fields.\nStable governments in this region provide great potential for long-lasting ministries. A fast growing economy and a wide use of the English language are assets to church to church planting. This is a prime area to reach middle-class Africa.",

        "raw_content": "Announced on IAUC 8577 on 29 Jul 2005 with more details given on MPEC 2005-O41 the same day, this extraordinary object had been originally detected as a (very slow) moving object on 5th January 2005, from images taken on 21st October 2003 nearly 15 months previously.\nIt is slightly larger than Pluto and currently over 96 times further from the Sun than the Earth (or 96 AU) and over three times further away than Pluto. It is the most distant object observed in the Solar System to date, even further than the previous record holder Sedna, discovered by the same team in November 2003 which is just over 88 AU away. 2003 UB313 is now at about at its furthest from the Sun, coming closest to the Sun 250 years from now at a distance of about 38 AU.\nThe discoverers M. E. Brown, C. A. Trujillo, and D. Rabinowitz used the Palomar 1.2-m Schmidt telescope and very large field Quest camera (172 Megapixels - 112 CCDs(!) arranged to cover 3.6\u00b0x4.6\u00b0 at the focal plane of this famous instrument) in their ongoing search for large distant solar system objects. Other large transneptunian objects discovered by them in the last few years include Sedna, Quaoar, Orcus and 2002 AW197.\nBrown had intended to announce 2003 UB313 in September 2005 after completing follow-up observations with other large instruments including the Spitzer Space Telescope. However, concerns that their discovery might be pre-empted by others prompted them to announce their discovery of 2003 UB313 (along with another very large transneptunian object 2005 FY9) and also their observations of another, 2003 EL61 in late July 2005.\nThe image above shows the object in rather poor sky conditions moving just 40\" in a period of 3 days. The field of view is approximately 1/7th the area of the full moon and shows just how slow and distant the object is. For comparison the moon travels the same apparent distance in about 75 seconds of time.",

        "title": "Ancestors Within: Molenbeek and Me",
        "raw_content": "My great grandfather, Jack, was born in London, unlike his older, Verheyen half-siblings. The half-siblings were born in Molenbeek in Belgium.\nThe name Molenbeek means Millbrook in English. Molen means mill in Dutch. Beek means brook. How do you find meaning and meanings?\nOfficial information in English about Molenbeek\nA while ago, the staff at Molenbeek's local government offices kindly provided my family with several important details about our Verheyen connection. The staff at Lier's local government offices provided valuable information about our Gysemans heritage.\nMy great, great grandmother was someone who, until recently, I referred to as Anne Catherine De Houwer. That was her possible maiden name as indicated on my great grandfather's birth certificate.\nAnne Catherine,\npossibly aged 25\nThe only picture I have of Anne Catherine was taken when she was 25 years of age, according to the note written on it by one of her children. I have been wondering if the photograph was taken just before she migrated to England, so that her family and friends in Belgium could have copies.\nI am still not sure whether Anne Catherine's first husband, Jules C\u00e9sar Verheyen, had been a spice trader, but their youngest son, Louis, was the manager of a spice warehouse in London by the age of 33, as recorded in the 1901 census. The surname of Louis and his family in relation to that census was recorded as Verheyan, not Verheyen.\nI have written about my family connection to spices before. Part three of that series of blog posts mentions Molenbeek.\nAnne Catherine may have spoken the Brabantian dialect but there is also a possibility that she spoke French, too. French became the predominant language of Brussels after Belgium became a country in 1830. French then became the official language of government with Flemish relegated to a lower status.\nThe francization of Brussels probably affected my ancestors, as did the effects of the long 19th century, including the Peasants' War and the later language legislation.\nDo you have any Flemish ancestors?\nMy Flemish ancestors\nThere are now likely to be hundreds of people descended from Anne Catherine. She had at least nine children from her two marriages, and many, many grandchildren. I therefore have many close and distant cousins today who have been tracing their family lines back to her, and possibly to Molenbeek.\nAccording to the kind archive staff in Molenbeek, the other part of the Brussels-Capital Region known to be linked to my family history is Saint-Gilles. That is a district near to Molenbeek. My great, great grandmother apparently moved to Saint-Gilles with her four children in December 1869, not long after her first husband died in Molenbeek.\nUnfortunately, as the archives of the City of Brussels do not provide a service online, and I did not received a reply to my request for information from the local government offices in Saint-Gilles, I have had several mysteries to solve without further official assistance. I thought I would need to make a trip to Brussels to discover more but now I have all the information I require!\nFor more than thirty years, I have dearly wanted to know so much about Anne Catherine's life, to gain an understanding of why she and her second husband went to live in London. Whether their migration was purely for economic reasons seems unlikely, considering the poverty the family probably experienced on their arrival in Soho.\nMolenbeek is part of my family heritage in the same way as the East Shropshire Coalfield near Ironbridge, London's Soho, Bessbrook in County Armagh and the Shankill Road area of Belfast, and Finsbury Park in London. I have never lived in any of those places though I, like Anne Catherine, travelled away from my family to live in London.\nMolenbeek is the location of La Fonderie, Brussels Museum of Industry and Labour. The industrial revolution in Belgium was centred on Molenbeek, just as the industrial revolution in Britain was originally centred over the East Shropshire coalfield, where my mother's ancestors lived around Dawley.\nAs my posts on my grandmother's connection to Finsbury Park, and my grandfather's connection to Aden and Northern Ireland may indicate, I have been exploring the background to conflict in the world, and how to overcome it. There was recently a report by the BBC about the current problems in Belgium.\nSint-Jans-Molenbeek is also known as Molenbeek-Saint-Jean - or Saint John's Millbrook, if you prefer - has been in the news recently in relation to terrorism in Paris.\nABC Australia - Molenbeek: The Belgian suburb dubbed Europe's jihadism hotbed\nPolitico - Molenbeek broke my heart\nNational Review - A troubled neighbourhood in a failing state\nNew York Times - Terrorism response puts Belgium in a harsh light\nPolitico - Belgium is a failed state\nI am reminded that a brook is the same as a stream. It is the centre of a catchment, with the waters often running towards a larger watercourse. Its source may be a spring or seep.\nA brook is often shallow, like the minds of people incapable of looking very deeply into anything. For many years, I have long wanted to know what happened in Anne Catherine's life and what her family background may have been. I wanted to know who her parents were and what her education may have been, and why she migrated.\nOf Anne Catherine's four children born in Molenbeek, I have the following information:\nCharles C\u00e9sar Verheyen\nmarried in Marylebone, London in 1885\ndied in Bloomsbury, London circa 1917\nFranciscus Xavier Joseph Verheyen\nmarried in Westminster, London in 1893\nAnne Joseph (Jacoba?) Verheyen\nmarried (possibly) in Fulham, London in 1902\nLouis Prosper Verheyen\nmarried his first wife,\nMary Kate Owen, in Lambeth, London in 1887\nmarried his second wife,\nFlorence Ida Ginn, in Camberwell, London in 1929\nLouis died in 1933, aged 65\nIt was only after marrying Jules Verheyen that Anne Catherine went to live in Molenbeek. She left the area soon after he died.\nJules C\u00e9sar Verheyen lived in Molenbeek but he was born in the East Flanders town of Rupelmonde, on 6 November 1829, the year before the Belgian revolution. His parents Albert Casimir Verheyen and his mother Jean Catherine Verheyen still lived in Rupelmonde on the day Jules married Anne Catherine Dehouwer, 4 January 1862. It is exciting to have, at last, one of the vital pieces of information that has long eluded me. I certainly wanted to know when my great, great grandmother married!\nAccording to English census records, Anne Catherine was born in 1848 in Brussels. If she had been born in 1848, she would only have been fourteen when she married Jules!\nNow I at least know more about Mr Verheyen, a resident of Molenbeek and a trader/merchant by profession, originally from Rupelmonde. The information came from the State Archives of Belgium.\nI also now know that she was born in Brussels on 13 March 1845, meaning that she would have been sixteen when she married thirty three year old Jules. She was almost seventeen but still very young.\nOn 18 December 1869, the young widow and her four, small children had left Molenbeek and were living in the nearby district of Saint-Gilles. Anne Catherine would have been twenty four at that time.\nI also know that she had a twenty two year old brother called Auguste when she married. I even know who her parents and grandparents were, what they did for a living and where they originated. It was not Molenbeek.\nI now know, too, that the photograph of Anne Catherine was probably taken some time around 1870, possibly when the Franco-Prussian War was occurring.",

        "title": "PrudentTrader Blog: Taking on Greater Levels of Risk",
        "raw_content": "The biggest risk is not taking any risk...\nIn a world that changing really quickly,\nthe only strategy that is guaranteed to fail\nis not taking risks.\nEducation never stops. No matter how long you've been an investor you know and understand that your education is a never ending process. You purchase and read books, newspapers and magazines, to continue your learning and to continue to prosper. While continuing our education you come across books and articles about some of the elite and brilliant traders who have a rare talent for making huge profits in a field where few can excel. \"Market Wizards\" is how we refer to them and being human we can't help but dream of being just like them.\nUnfortunately, the facts tell us very few traders reach the top. The best most can do is evaluate and accept their abilities, and do their best. Pushing yourself too far and too fast doesn't work. It leads to frustration, and possibly failure. You must work at your own pace. This is especially true when one is attempting to take on greater levels of risk. Depending on your risk tolerance, taking on greater levels of risk can make you feel uneasy. If you want to make huge profits as a trader, you eventually need to learn to effortlessly take on greater levels or risk.\nExtending ones comfort zone is never easy. For most people, it is a gradual process. For example, first one must learn to put their hard-earned money on the line, and accept what it feels like to lose it. Taking a loss is disconcerting and a little frightening. Losing a few dollars is one thing, but as the amount increases substantially, so does the pressure. It takes a little practice to learn to risk ever-increasing amounts of money and take it in stride. Some people are natural born risk takers. Most traders however have come to their present state; by learning to manage money wisely. The idea of taking larger and larger risks to move beyond your comfort zone can be difficult. You may have a natural inclination to protect what you've worked so hard to accumulate. It's tough to not be a little wary.\nHow do you learn to take on more risk? Again, it depends on your personality and the amount of trading capital in your account. You may need to train yourself to take on greater levels of risk. Move up gradually; don't make the mistake of moving too fast.\nTaking on greater and greater amounts of risk is fear-provoking. If you do it all at once, you move from relatively little fear and anxiety to terrifying amounts of fear and anxiety. To shocking for many. It's better to work up to it. You wouldn't try to run a 10-mile marathon tomorrow if you could barely run a mile today. You would build up your stamina and gradually work up to your objective. It's the same thing with trading. Increase the amount you risk gradually. The rate at which you increase it depends on your personality. Use your own judgment; if you can increase your risk a little each trade, good then try to keep up that pace. If you find that after a month, you've surpassed your comfort zone, well then reduce your risk. The key is to gradually increase your comfort zone, don't force yourself to go beyond your limits. Work at your own pace. If you try to do too much, too soon, you'll just feel overwhelmed and you may never reach your objective. If however you move up gradually, you will increase the likelihood that you will be able to increase the amount of risk you can handle.\nTrading is emotional. Taking on greater and greater amounts of risk is stressful. Instead of becoming overwhelmed, and possibly under mining your long-term financial goals, take it easy, and work at your own pace. You'll eventually be able to take on greater levels of risk, and trade more calmly, logically, and profitably.\nseogenc said...",

Winter is approaching, and our big bear needs to sleep. However, if the big bear is hard of hearing, the results can be different, and hilarious. The book is gorgeously illustrated, and when read out to kids, will evoke squeals of laughter from them. The e-book Kindle version is of high quality - the illustrations show no signs of pixellation on a tablet, and if you pinch to zoom on the text, it pops out out, making it easier to read. The story itself is not the point of this book, if one were to choose to crib over the non-existent plot. It is a picture book at its heart, and as such the illustrations are marvelous. The rhyming sentences add a cadence to the story.\nA nice book for children to cozy up to. Enjoyable when read out aloud to them, enjoyable for children to see and try and read on their own too.",

He was far away, on another planet. One of the consequences of people reading so much electronically is that you can't see what it is that they are reading. Fifty Shades of Grey or War and Peace? There's no way of knowing. And it's not just young people: I noticed an elderly couple on the train reading on their ipads. I regret this, as I do like to see what I can spot people reading when I travel to and around London. This time I only bagged Frank Herbert and a young woman reading Terry Prachett on the train back to Chesterfield. I particularly like it when I see young people reading the classics. I once saw a young woman reading a Graham Greene novel in a waiting room at Moorfields Eye Hospital.\nSadly I have never spotted anyone reading one of my novels. I guess that must sometimes happen to people who write best-sellers. However I did once see someone buying a copy of my edition of William Morris's writing on art and design in the V and A and that was a thrill.\nLabels: ebooks, ereaders, Frank Herbert, Terry Prachett",

        "raw_content": "I hope your\u2019e all pawesome.\nToday\u2019s guest writer is Heather Szasz, Founder of www.mypuppybox.com. \u201cMy Puppy Box\u201d along with a version about Dog Rescues called \u201cMy Puppy Rescue Box\u201d, are fun educational boxes for children to learn how to be safe around dogs, care and being responsible for a dog.\nChildren who have poor social skills, learn how to have impulse control. Improve their self-esteem by the child talking to and confiding in the dog. Remember a dog is a source of unconditional love and never judges.\nChildren who are having difficulty reading, will willing read to a dog, rather than a person. Many schools have therapy dogs, to have one on one sessions with children who will be more relaxed and open to reading now with a dog.\nWith computer games, etc. We live in a world that children want to spend more time sitting than exercising. Studies have shown that children with dogs, run and play and go for walks, gaining health benefits, while having fun.\nWe live such busy schedules, with work, extra school/sports activities. The dog becomes the bond between the siblings and with the parents of the family. When playing with a dog, walking the dog together, everyone forgets the hectic life, relax and are just being with each other. This may help lower blood pressure.\nNow studies have found that children with dogs are 50% less likely to develop allergies and asthma than those who grow up without a dog.\nStress Hormones of an autistic child are dramatically reduced when living with a trained service dog. This creates a drop-in behavior problems.\nEven babies who live with a dog, have a chance of avoiding respiratory illnesses and infections.\nCuddling a dog reduces stress, loneliness and anxiety.\nChildren learn how to care for the dog through feeding, providing water, brushing the dog. As boys growing up do not play like girls with taking care of dolls, they do not know how to practice being a care giver. With a dog in the house, they now have that opportunity.\nWith parents teaching their children the responsibilities of dog ownership gradually as the child gets older. They are teaching the children the importance of the responsibilities, patience and work. Tools that are so important in life.\nThis information tells how important it is in many ways for children and dogs to live together. There is one component that is valuable for all the above, Education for the parents and the children.\nEducation for a Successful Child and Dog Relationship\nWe spoke about the benefits before and how important they are to the child and one bite will have a child\u2019s view of a dog be so different. They can be scared around all dogs, never have the opportunity again to have a pet in their life. Loose the dog they loved because now it is taken away from the family. Blame themselves for the dog going away.\nIn this country each year, 77% of children between the ages of 5-10 are bitten each year. These bites are by dogs they know, yes even their family dog.\nTo prevent this happening both the parents and the children need to have the education to understand a dog\u2019s body language. Teach the children how to respect a dog. While there are many videos on this subject, a company called My Puppy Box LLC has created a box with all the information for the children and family to be successful in raising their dog. Together through fun interactive books, the family can learn how to be the best care givers for their dogs. www.mypuppybox.com",

        "title": "John Davison: Game reviews: Time for something new?",
        "raw_content": "Game reviews: Time for something new?\nThe usefulness/appropriateness/practicalities of game reviews have been discussed at great length for years. I've been doing this stuff for nearly 20 years now, and while early on there was absolutely no question about the service they provided, in the past five or six, the nature of criticism has changed. I can remember online discussions starting to affect things back in the days when I ran PC Zone in the early to mid 90s. Newsgroups and bulletin boards, though only read by a relatively small number of people, proved that the \"crowd\" often saw things differently than the critics. It made for interesting discussions, but ultimately the criticisms were still a big part of the buying decision process. Games were bought only by enthusiasts, and those enthusiasts only had a limited number of outlets to go for information. If a reviewer said \"this game is bad\" it could have a material impact on the success of that product. It had only been a few years at this point, remember, since the only way to judge a game was to find a store that sold it, look at the back of the box, and take a risk. In the early days of buying games for my Atari 400, I know I got burned many times because the promise of the packaging wasn't delivered upon.\nNow though, the volume of games, and the size of the audience has changed things quite dramatically. No individual critic can possibly develop an intimate knowledge of all games, and meanwhile the enthusiasts are now fully able to share their views on all games. Newsweek's N'Gai Croal tackles this subject as part of a series of editorials on Slate this week and notes, \"The Internet has fundamentally changed the nature of criticism. TV critics used to review a pilot or the first few episodes of a season, then return at season's end, if at all. Now professionals and amateurs alike recap and critique each episode on a weekly basis, then dive into their comments sections to mix it up with their regulars. A critic's opinions were always fodder for debate among his or her readership, but those debates were scattered and isolated. Now those debates can take place right alongside that critic's opinion and, in some cases, help inform those opinions by forcing the critic to engage with the readers, or just inform the critic period...This is also a good thing.\" He goes on to tackle a comment made by Esquire's Chuck Klosterman last year, in which he observed, \"There is no Pauline Kael of video-game writing. There is no Lester Bangs of video-game writing. And I'm starting to suspect there will never be that kind of authoritative critical voice within the world of video games.\" N'Gai's response is something I agree with very strongly, and he articulates it far better than I could in the article. \"Hell, Lester Bangs couldn't even be the Lester Bangs of music today,\" he says, \"let alone videogames. The critic is going the way of the dinosaur and the dodo bird; he or she is an anachronism in an age where anyone can publish an opinion.\"\nEnthusiasts still demand critical opinion, as much for validation of their own taste, as for critical insight or buying advice. The process of assigning some kind of qualitative indicator to a product still seems to be an important part of the process of enthusiasm. That said, is it really useful in any way? There have been many occasions in my own career where I've been chastised by the crowd for expressing an opinion about a product for which the hardcore enthusiasts have already declared loyalty. MotorStorm on the PlayStation 3 immediately springs to mind. Though a glorious example of what the machine can do graphically, it was ultimately a shell of a game that stretched a basic concept too thin. I found the game exhilarating, but exhausting - something I still feel about it, despite numerous add-ons and downloadable supplements. When I said this, the hardcore PS3 fan base treated me as a heretic. Though they hadn't played the game themselves, they had decided en masse that the game was some kind of beacon of hope for the slow-selling platform. Given the installed base, the only people at this point that were going to buy this game were these outspoken fanboys, and their minds were already made up. So what use was the review? And the problem wasn't that I'd said it was \"bad\" I'd said it simply wasn't \"great.\" The score given was a 7.5 out of 10. But the audience didn't want granularity to opinion, it simply wanted a hearty \"yes!\"\nSo as we continue on, and the enthusiast press becomes more a part of a conversation, rather than a \"lecture\" are review scores necessary at all? The audience still craves something, as evidenced when we tried removing scores from Computer Gaming World last year (because we felt its more mature audience would appreciate something more akin to discussion) there was outcry! \"We want to know what score you'd give it,\" the crowd shouted back.Perhaps the future of games criticism is to stop any pretense of trying to cover everything, and make a point of being more elitist. Only covering the \"cream\"? Editorializing purely by omission? That doesn't strike me as useful, as there's always a game that I want to know about that the enthusiast press has already ignored out of prejudice (it's for kids! It's for girls! It's casual!) or from simply not having the bandwidth. Perhaps when it comes to \"scores\" all that's really needed is a binary system. A parallel to Roger Ebert's \"Thumbs Up\" and \"Thumbs Down\"? A yes/no approach. Given that the press is criticized for marking on a 7 to 10 scale anyway, the scores are already open to interpretation, and any tweaking of a review scale is ultimately pointless. Percentages? Nah. Out of 5? Well, when you use half-points you're still marking out of 10. Letter grades? How do you map them to what people are already used to? Is an A+ a 10? Does that mean that an F is the equivalent of a 4 out of 10? How does that change the problem... particularly when it will be converted in the reviews aggregation sites anyway?\nI think a binary system may be the only way to go for the \"professionals\" and then coupled with an approach that truly embraces the crowd. Rather than separating the Pro's and Joe's, reviews need to be mixed up together. The Pro's have the benefit of access, and the possibility of expressing an opinion first...but they shouldn't be presented in a way that implies their opinion is somehow more important.",

But it\u2019s the nature of the language, and at this point in the development of English, substituting a non-gendered, plural pronoun when the sentence does not call for one actually serves to deperaonlize the writing, I think.

        "raw_content": "Posted in: Finding a career January 12th, 2011\nI\u2019m trying to teach my son to stop playing his DS every second. To be honest, I\u2019m a crappy role model. I mean, if I were great at having enough self-discipline to follow through consistently on my idea of proper parenting, things would be different.\nI would say: No DS today.\nHe would say: I hate you.\nFor the whole day. In the best case. In the worst case, he\u2019d beat up his brother. Not from hatred, but from boredom.\nI know that if you sent in Super Nanny she would have the DS under limited play in one minute. So I tell myself I\u2019m going to do that. Tomorrow.\nIt\u2019s a willpower thing. I mean, parenting is so hard because each fight you decide to fight is a fight. There are no kids who learn to say thank you without you bugging them.\nSo you have to bug them, routinely. But the farm is great for routine, so I have high hopes that I\u2019ll find direction and improve, if I just keep adding routine.\nSometimes it\u2019s simple, like opening the gate each time we enter the farm. We could put a cattle guard at the opening of the farm made of ridges on the ground that make the cattle uneasy so they move away from the spot. But I don\u2019t want that. I like the rhythm of opening the gate.\nIt\u2019s sort of like saying a prayer before you start a meal. I think ritual is a good way to separate things that are important. And driving up to the farm, after all I\u2019ve been through to get to live here, is a spiritual experience.\nSometimes the routine is bigger. Like cooking three meals a day. People can\u2019t believe I do it. Without a dishwasher or a microwave. But I like the rhythm it creates. I know that routine begets routine and the things I really want to achieve require a lot of self discipline.\nI want the same things that a lot of people want:\nLive within my budget\nThey all take willpower but I now I am thinking that willpower is BS. The farmer read an article by in Psychology Today about how we should not try to use willpower. We should use if/then statements.\nLike, if it\u2019s 7:30, then the farmer leaves to do chores.\nI do an if/then statement like, if it\u2019s 7:30 and the kids are quiet and I haven\u2019t eaten a huge breakfast and I\u2019m not totally stressed about work, then I will exercise.\nIt\u2019ll never work. I know that. So the more routine I put around my day the less chance there is for a messy if/then moment.\nAnd this is why I agreed to get a dog.\nYou might think that\u2019s insane when I have had such an incredibly difficult adjustment to learning to live on a farm, and be married to a farmer. You\u2019d think that I\u2019d just want to focus on that and not make more trouble.\nBut my eight-year-old says he does not have enough responsibility for the farm animals. He loves them. The kids go out every morning before school, in freezing cold conditions, and feed the ducks and hens and barn cats. The kids collect eggs twice a day, and when a cat is sick, the kids take care of it (before a wild animal eats it).\nBut my son has a point: He has very little responsibility relative to, say, the farmer, who deals with 1000 pigs and 1000 cattle. Or however many there are. It\u2019s a lot. And my son wants to be a farmer.\nSo we agree to get a dog. He wants the high-maintenance kind, and I wonder if that is sort of like a guy choosing a bride who is like his mom.\nHe wants a dog that will sit in his lap and follow him all over the place and, in general, be needy.\nWe look on the internet to adopt a dog. We want one that is older so we don\u2019t have to potty train it.\nThe farmer has owned many dogs in his life. He has lots of opinions.\nMy son finds a dog that is half Pitbull and half Border Collie. He shows it to us.\nThe farmer says, \u201cGreat, it can bite you and then run for help.\u201d\nThe farmer points out that all dog breeds are meant for a job. Retrievers retrieve, Basset Hounds sniff, Pitbulls protect. The farmer says you have to let the dog do its job or it will not be happy. (This sounds like the animal version of my favorite career counseling book, Do What You Are. The problem that people have, which dogs don\u2019t, is that people judge certain jobs as \u201cgood\u201d and others as \u201cbad,\u201d and often the result is a person refuses to see what is really right for them.)\nThe farmer does not want any dog that wants to mess with animals. For example, a Sheepdog is meant to herd animals, so we can\u2019t have it around the cattle. \u201cMy cattle are quiet,\u201d says the farmer. \u201cThe dog would drive them crazy.\u201d\nMy son likes a three-legged Coondog. He likes that the dog has a story \u2014 run over by a car in Kentucky. Shipped to Wisconsin by a couple who specializes in pouring tons of cash into injured animals. And now, after an amputated leg, the dog\u2019s only problem is forgetting that he can\u2019t lift his leg to pee.\nThe farmer likes the idea of a coondog who can\u2019t run. Its job is to hunt, but if it can\u2019t hunt, it\u2019ll be quiet. The farmer likes quiet.\nDo you know how people get dogs that look like them? I fear it is too predictable that we would end up with a three-legged dog.\nSpecial needs kids should be homeschooled\nWhat do rich parents do that poor parents don't?\nWhen is it okay for parents to ditch the kids?\nHow stay-at-home parents make up for lost income\nAll curriculum needs more pictures and less text\n\"Great, it can bite you and then run for help.\"\nMade me laugh out loud. If nothing else, the farmer seems to have a good sense of humor.\nPosted by Erika on January 12, 2011 at 11:16 am | permalink |\nMy first response, exactly.

When I was looking for a dog (17 years ago\u2026. we had 16 wonderful years together), I read a book called \u201cThe right dog for you,\u201d by Daniel F. Tortora. Even though I knew I was probably going to get a mutt or mixed-breed (and did), it was very useful, as with a little practice, you can often tell what major influences went into one, breed-wise.\nWhat I liked about the book is it talked about each breed and then how they ranked on various scales. Here are a couple of examples I remember (this was nearly 20 years ago!).\nIntelligence and obedience. Some dogs are \u201cintelligent\u201d and obedient by nature; some are one or the other, and it\u2019s not quite the same thing.\nWatchdog vs. guard dog. I would not have differentiated between these had I not read this.\nActivity level inside vs. outside. Some dogs are really active everywhere; others are really active outside but not so much in the house.\nHow much they shed, maintenance of coat needed, etc. etc.\nOn the subject of the hound, the book pointed out that a dog such as a retriever is bred to pay attention to its master, and react to that. On the other hand, a hound is bred to go after the prey and the human is supposed to follow the hound. So they are not as attuned to watching the master.\nNow, I may have some small details wrong since it has been so long since I read the book, but I\u2019m hoping this still gives you some food for thought.\nBy the way, my dog was a mix, but pretty easy to tell what his \u201cingredients\u201d were; and I would have to say that he did pretty much exemplify his breeds\u2019 typical qualities as talked about in the book.\nIt is really hard to pick out a dog, knowing that they all need a good home, and also that this is something like a 15+ year commitment. I had to do some soul-searching to decide if I was up for the task (obviously it worked out and was wonderful). One thing I found is that when I was looking at a pound or shelter, the dogs were all pretty hyper/desperate/penned (as I would be), and so it was hard to tell what they would be like normally. One shelter did have a place you could take them to a small room, or outside to play. Ultimately I got a dog that had been fostered, and visiting him in the foster home it was much easier to see what he would be like later. They even let me take him for part of a day to see how he fit into my routine :)\nPosted by Pen on January 12, 2011 at 3:47 pm | permalink |\nSometimes I feel like my career path is whatever my dad dictates. Isn\u2019t that awful? And I should know better, because he made me take Maths at AS Level (an English grade school qualification that you usually take in 11th grade) and I hate math and hard work so I got an E, which prevented me from going to the college that I wanted. But dogs are different. I have a dog, and my parents hate it. It\u2019s the exact opposite of what they would chose. She\u2019s an Australian shepherd, high maintenance so she should be on a farm (and when she\u2019s bad I threaten to send her to English finishing school on my great uncle\u2019s sheep farm in Worcester to learn how to be a real sheepdog), but I have raised her as an urban dog, so she gets to herd other dogs at doggy daycare instead (of course!). And she does, too, because I watch her on the webcam while I\u2019m at work. Her primary job is to guilt me into running with her five times a week: she does it really, really well.\nGet the coon dog. My male lab doesn\u2019t lift his leg to pee. Or a black lab.

For your son to have a truly good relationship, he will have to be perceived as the \u201calpha\u201d in the relationship. A dog that is physically superior can be difficult to establish that relationship with as an full grown adult dog, with out a lot of time and focused effort.\nMy wifes a dog trainer and has seen so many poor dogs where that alpha relationship hasn\u2019t been established with the owner as the alpha, and it leads to a very unfulfilling life for the dog and the owner.\nPosted by Jim on January 12, 2011 at 5:03 pm | permalink |\nThanks for this advice, Jim. It\u2019s something I hadn\u2019t thought about. It would actually be really empowering for my son to feel like an alpha. I need to figure that out\u2026\nI love the analogy. We don\u2019t fault dogs for what they\u2019re not, but we get down on ourselves for not being good at everything.

I\u2019m usually very cautious about telling people to bring animals into their home but in some cases, it\u2019s right. Last year, after moving into my husband\u2019s house, quitting my job and being sorta depressed while readjusting, I decided to volunteer at an animal shelter. I vowed not to get a dog. We were too busy for one (how I was too busy without a job is beyond me). A week into my stint, we had a dog. He gave so much rhythm and routine to my day. Whether it\u2019s cold or snowing or I\u2019m sick, the dog needs to walk and eat. And I build my day around the dog, which enables me to get other shit done. If I fail at his schedule, I don\u2019t just let myself down. I get an adorable, sad-looking creature staring at me until I walk him! That\u2019s great motivation.\nGet the three-legged one who can rest on the farm. The farmer is totally right that dogs have jobs they need to do in order to be happy. If you know this, your dog doesn\u2019t have to get abandoned or bored.\nI love the thoughts about a dog! Yes, every dog needs a job, and one that fits him. I had a Belgian Sheepdog who spent his life missing having sheep to herd. He tried herding the cats and they never let him forget it. He tried herding three of us hiking on mountain trails. He tried herding one old horse when we were visiting friends. I wish I had known someone with sheep!\nSo much about dogs is part of what they were originally bred for.

I have never lived on a farm, so I don\u2019t know if it would be a good match in that regard, but I have lived with my husband who has Aspergers (along with his father) and they are absolutely convinced that the best dogs ever are Mastiffs. Because Mastiffs are ginormous (ours was 200 lbs) they do well where there is a bit of space. They are extremely mellow, and they are pretty much all bark and no bite, unless extremely threatened or if they feel their owners are in life-threatening conditions and are showing signs of being in extreme duress. And, by the way, they almost never bark. They are usually considered the \u201cgentle giants\u201d of the dog world. They require almost no training and can sleep much of the day, but are great with kids. Not hyper whatsoever, not noisy, but they do slobber after drinking (so it\u2019s best to wipe their mouth with a paper towel), are hard on your house just from their size not because they would ever destroy anything, and honestly: they just want a heck of a lot of love. If they were smaller they would be the most popular dogs on earth. BUT \u2013 don\u2019t get one if you are not going to give it ALOT of attention and treat it as a member of the family. This is a dog that has to be happy, it\u2019s just too big to be neurotic. Oh, and love the blog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\nRegarding my comment about the Mastiff \u2013 also, adopting one can be tricky. I am all in favor of adopting animals (my cat is adopted), but I\u2019m not sure about a Mastiff. There are Mastiff rescue organizations, but given that you have kids and Mastiffs are so big, it might not be the greatest idea\u2026\nMaybe you could steer him towards games that are better for him: Scribblenauts anyone?\nGreat blog!

        "title": "Thoughts from a Buttonmonger: Otmar Von Verschuer",
        "raw_content": "Otmar Freiherr von Verschuer (16 July 1896 \u2013 8 August 1969) was a German human biologist and eugenicist concerned primarily with \"racial hygiene\" and twin research. He was the director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of Anthropology, Human Heredity, and Eugenics (Kaiser-Wilhelm-Institut f\u00fcr Anthropologie, menschliche Erblehre, und Eugenik; KWIfA) in Berlin and the Institute for Genetic Biology and Racial Hygiene (Institut f\u00fcr Erbbiologie und Rassenhygiene).\nHe received Heinrich Himmler's permission to work in Auschwitz from 1944 on. One of Verschuer's best known assistants was Josef Mengele, who, as one of the SS physicians at the Auschwitz death camp, later became known as the \"Angel of Death\".\nVerschuer was never tried for war crimes despite many indications that he not only was fully cognizant of Mengele's work at Auschwitz, but even encouraged and collaborated with Mengele in some of his most grisly research. In a report to the German Research Council (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft; DFG) from 1944, Verschuer talked about Mengele's assistance in supplying the KWIfA with some \"scientific materials\" from Auschwitz:\nMy assistant, Dr. Mengele (M.D., Ph.D.) has joined me in this branch of research. He is presently employed as Hauptsturmf\u00fchrer and camp physician in the concentration camp at Auschwitz. Anthropological investigations on the most diverse racial groups of this concentration camp are being carried out with permission of the SS Reichsf\u00fchrer [Himmler]; the blood samples are being sent to my laboratory for analysis.\nVerschuer also noted in the report that the war conditions had made it difficult for the KWIfA to procure \"twin materials\" for study, and that Mengele's unique position at Auschwitz offered a special opportunity in this respect. In the summer of 1944, Mengele and his Jewish slave assistant Dr. Miklos Nyiszli sent other \"scientific materials\" to the KWIfA, including the bodies of murdered Gypsies, internal organs of dead children, skeletons of two murdered Jews, and blood samples of twins infected by Mengele with typhus.\nHowever solid evidence of Verschuer's willing collaboration could not be established, much to the disappointment of the principal post-war Allied investigator, Leo Alexander, assigned to his case. In a letter to his wife from 1946, Alexander wrote:\nIt sometimes seems as if the Nazis had taken special pains in making practically every nightmare come true. Some new evidence has come in where two doctors in Berlin, one a man and the other a woman, collected eyes of different colour. It seems that the concentration camps were combed for people whose one eye had a slightly different color than the other. Who ever [sic] was unlucky enough to possess such a pair of slightly unequal eyes had them cut out and was killed, the eyes being sent to Berlin. This is the carrying out into reality of an old gruesome German fairy tale which is included in the Tales of Hoffmann, where Dr Coppelius posing as a sandman comes at night and cuts out children's eyes when they are tired. The grim part of the story is that Doctors von Verschuer and [Karin] Magnussen in Berlin did prefer children and particularly twins. There is no end to this nightmare, at least 23 are being tried now and, I trust, the others will follow later.\nAlexander initiated investigations into the location of the incriminating collection but could not locate it\u2014it had been sent to an unknown destination in Berlin and from there vanished out of sight; Alexander ruefully concluded that Verschuer had destroyed it.\nLater investigators had difficulty getting hard evidence of the gruesome position they felt Verschuer had in the Holocaust. In his denazification hearing, he was eventually judged as a Nazi fellow traveler (Mitl\u00e4ufer) (a relatively mild categorization), fined 600 Reichmark, and released from custody.\nAs the war was drawing to a close in 1945, Verschuer moved the files of the KWIfA into the Western part of Germany, hoping for a more favorable response from the advancing Allied armies than from the advancing Soviet Army. In late 1945 or early 1946 he petitioned the mayor of Frankfurt to allow him to reestablish the KWIfA. However the commission in charge of rebuilding the Kaiser Wilhelm Gesellschaft decreed that \"Verschuer should be considered not as a collaborator, but one of the most dangerous Nazi activists of the Third Reich.\" The KWIfA was not reestablished.\nIn 1951, Verschuer was awarded the prestigious professorship of human genetics at the University of M\u00fcnster, where he established one of the largest centers of genetics research in West Germany. Like many \"racial hygienists\" of the Nazi period, and many American eugenicists, Verschuer was successful in redefining himself as a genetics researcher after the war, and avoided the taint of his work with Nazi eugenics. Many of his wartime students were similarly appointed to top positions in universities of Erlangen, Frankfurt, D\u00fcsseldorf, and M\u00fcnster. Karin Magnussen, a biologist whom he worked with, who ended up using the eyeballs taken from still-living prisoners at Auschwitz by Dr Josef Mengele for experiments on the pigmentation of the human iris.\nHe was accepted during the war as a member of the American Eugenics Society, a position he kept until his death.\nWhen Verschuer died in 1969 (in an automobile accident), obituaries in German scientific journals made no mention of his Nazi involvement.\n\u201cI helped Lettie wash this forenoon. Shoveled out the wood pile and cut a little wood this afternoon. Very pleasant but cold north wind.\u201d",

        "title": "Next generation scientific (and clear) leadership | Chief Executive's blog",
        "raw_content": "Over the past few weeks I have thought a lot about leadership \u2013 particularly how we can best develop the next generation of leaders across science and what is needed to encourage and support this development.\nThis was, in part, inspired by a \u2018Clear Leadership\u2019 course I took in May, led by Gervase Bushe, a Canadian academic who has published widely in this area. His model is based broadly on the psychology of experience and he has identified four key skills of clear leadership \u2013 self-awareness, descriptiveness, curiosity, and appreciation. A particular focus of the course was how this model can be effective in developing and sustaining collaborative partnerships \u2013 very relevant to the approach that BBSRC is increasingly taking. I have found the concepts to be eminently practical and not just in a professional setting, but in domestic territory too!\nIt is curious that professional development for academics, to enable them to realise broader leadership skills beyond the core of research and teaching, all too often falls below the radar and, personally, I feel this is a great shame. There is a huge pool of potential leaders in the bioscience community, but the hectic nature of academic life and lack of real incentives to take up broader development opportunities means many will go through their careers thinking higher level leadership is not for them, while others will find themselves in positions of leadership for which they are ill-equipped. I was, therefore, delighted to be an invited panelist at the University of Bath\u2019s Sulis Minerva day, part of the university\u2019s 50th anniversary celebrations, to discuss success and leadership in STEM. Athene Donald\u2019s illuminating and thought-provoking lecture entitled \u2018Do I look like a Physicist?\u2019 provided the perfect back-drop for the panel discussion \u2013 summarised in this excellent blog by Kiran Oza. It was a real pleasure to participate in the lively panel debate, chaired so ably by Carole Mundell, and to meet many early career researchers who hopefully drew inspiration from the discussions and left aspiring to be the leaders of the future.\nThe wealth of potential leaders among our early career researchers was further reinforced when I attended the University of Bristol\u2019s \u2018Research without Borders\u2019 showcase exhibition, staged by the Bristol Doctoral College. I spoke to many first and second year post-graduate students across a wide range of disciplines about their research and exhibits (I particularly enjoyed my hands-on experience of virtual reality to visualise and study macromolecular structures). The eloquence and enthusiasm of the post-graduates was inspiring \u2013 particularly those presenting in the \u2018Three minute thesis\u2019 competition. The skills of communication are fundamental to leaders across all walks of life and I am convinced there is a bright future ahead for these students. However, it will be critical that as a sector ways are found to incentivise, encourage and support them to take the path to leadership \u2013 a good starting point would be to recognise the value that development of wider professional skills brings to individuals and organisations alike.\nOn a final point, BBSRC has recently launched its 2017 call for appointments to our advisory panels and pool of experts \u2013 I encourage you to demonstrate leadership by either self-nominating or sponsoring a colleague to nominate themselves \u2013 the call is open until 27 July 2017, 16:00.",

Professor Jennifer Rubin, ESRC Executive Chair and UKRI Executive Champion for EDI will chair the group, which will inform the creation of a long-term EDI strategy for UKRI that is ambitious, whilst being feasible and evidence-based. It will help UKRI to embed equality, diversity and inclusion at all levels and in everything that we do.\nIn relation to this EDI had a huge boost last week when Professor Jocelyn Bell Burnell announced that she was donating her Breakthrough prizemonies (of \u00a32.3M) to support diversity in physics, specifically to enable more women, underrepresented minorities and refugees to become physics researchers. This was reported widely in scientific and broader news channels (for example, The Guardian, BBCandThe Globe and Mail) around the globe. Professor Bell Burnell was awarded the Breakthough prize \u2018for fundamental contributions to the discovery of pulsars, and a lifetime of inspiring leadership in the scientific community\u2019. I was fortunate enough to work with Jocelyn when she was Dean of the Faculty of Science at the University of Bath and personally benefitted from her leadership, support and encouragement when I myself was seeking to progress. I have huge admiration for Jocelyn, warmly congratulate her on this prize and on her choice to so visibly support diversity and inclusion in physics \u2013 a great role model.\nStaying with the theme of Space \u2013 in its broadest sense \u2013 one of the more unusual projects in BBSRC\u2019s portfolio has caught the imagination of the media this month. The Molecular Muscle Experiment,a collaboration between scientists at the Universities of Exeter, Nottingham and Lancaster, is due to reach a new milestone later this year with the launch of thousands of C. elegans worms into space. The research will see the worms living and reproducing on the International Space Station, in an effort to understand the molecular changes that occur during muscle wastage. The similarity between worms\u2019 muscles and our own makes them a common model species for neuromuscular research and the loss of muscle during spaceflight is a major barrier for long-term missions, but is also a problem for those on earth afflicted with muscular dystrophies, diabetes, injuries and age-related declines in strength. This project is supported by The European Space Agency, UK Space Agency, BBSRC, MRC, and Arthritis Research UK and is a great example of national and international collaboration.",

The coat is easy to maintain.\n(PUPPYDOGWEB.COM)\nBoxers origins stem from as far back as the sixteenth century in Europe. His ancestors are thought to involve mastiff-type dogs called Bullenbeissers (translating to \"bull-biter\"), English Bulldogs, Great Danes, Boston Terriers, French Bulldogs, and some type of terrier. The general consensus of the Boxers' genetic makeup is that around the 1830s, German hunters created the Boxer from mating a small Bullenbeisser (mastiff-type breed) female to a native, possibly Bavarian, male dog, by which the two produced a female who was then mated to an English Bulldog. Boxers were first used as hunters to the Germans and Nederland residents to hunt boar and deer. Later in Germany, the breed was used in bull baiting and the popular sport of dog fighting. When dog fighting was banned in Germany in the mid-nineteenth century, the Boxer was then put to use as a guard and for controlling cattle at slaughterhouses. This may have been where the Boxer received its current name, being called \"boxl\" in the slaughterhouses. Another theory states that the name \"Boxer\" was formed due to their use of front legs when in the fighting ring, resembling a boxer. In 1895 the Boxer breed was exhibited in Munich, by then making a reasonable standard by which to judge, and in 1904 was registered by the AKC. After World War II these dogs became more popular in the United States, and has since received steadily rising praise. Boxers were among the first to become military and police dogs. Although originally bred and raised in a bull-baiting and fighting environments, over the years they have been refined to have a non-aggressive temperament, which certainly shows.\nDescription: The Boxer is a medium-sized, squarely built canine of good substance with a short back, strong limbs, and short, tight-fitting coat. Boxers should have a broad, blunt muzzle and an expression of alertness. Their faces resemble that of a Bulldog, and their tails are usually docked for show. Ears are sometimes cropped for show as well, but they naturally have drop ears. Boxers should have a fenced yard to roam in, but will do well in a city environment if walked daily. They do not do well in the heat, but adapt to most other aspects of living environments. The Boxer is considered a \"people dog\" adapting well to other dogs and children. They are a popular breed all over, retaining their puppy-like tendencies well into old age. Boxers love to play, do well with children, and are youthful at heart. They are obedient, loyal, and learn quickly. Boxers can make excellent guard dogs, as they were used for that purpose in the past and today. They should never be aggressive, but rather even-tempered and loving towards their family, thus making the Boxer an ideal family pet.\n(For more detailed background, see Bullenbeisser)\nFriedrich Roberth and his Boxer, 1894 The Boxer is part of the Molosser group, developed in Germany in the late 1800s from the now extinct Bullenbeisser, a dog of Mastiff descent, and Bulldogs brought in from England. The Bullenbeisser had been working as a hunting dog for centuries, employed in the pursuit of bear, wild boar, and deer. Its task was to seize the prey and hold it until the hunters arrived. In later years, faster dogs were favored and a smaller Bullenbeisser was bred in Brabant, in northern Belgium. It is generally accepted that the Brabanter Bullenbeisser was a direct ancestor of today's Boxer.[2]\nIn 1894, three Germans by the name of Roberth, Konig, and Hopner decided to stabilize the breed and put it on exhibition at a dog show. This was done in Munich in 1895, and the next year they founded the first Boxer Club, the Deutscher Boxer Club. The Club went on to publish the first Boxer breed standard in 1902, a detailed document that has not been changed much to this day.[3]\nThe breed was introduced to other parts of Europe in the late 19th century and to the United States around the turn of the century. The American Kennel Club (AKC) registered the first Boxer in 1904, and recognized the first Boxer champion, Dampf vom Dom, in 1915. During World War I, the Boxer was co-opted for military work, acting as a valuable messenger dog, pack-carrier, attack dog, and guard dog. It was not until after World War II that the Boxer became popular around the world. Boxer mascots, taken home by returning soldiers, introduced the dog to a much wider audience and it soon became a favorite as a companion, a show dog, and a guard dog.\nearly genealogy\nBoxer early genealogy chart The German citizen George Alt, a Munich resident, mated a brindle-colored bitch imported from France named Flora with a local dog of unknown ancestry, known simply as \"Boxer\", resulting in a fawn-and-white male, named \"Lechner's Box\" after its owner. This dog was mated with his own dam Flora, and one of its offspring was a bitch called Alt's Schecken. George Alt mated Schecken with a Bulldog named Dr. Toneissen's Tom to produce the historically significant dog ''M\u00fchlbauer's Flocki. Flocki was the first Boxer to enter the German Stud Book after winning the aforementioned show for St. Bernards in Munich 1895, which was the first event to have a class specific for Boxers.[3][4]\nThe white bitch Ch. Blanka von Angertor, Flocki's sister, was even more influential when mated with Piccolo von Angertor (Lechner's Box grandson) to produce the predominantly white (parti-colored) bitch Meta von der Passage, which, even bearing little resemblance with the modern Boxer standard (early photographs depicts her as too long, weak-backed and down-faced), is considered the mother of the breed.[5][6] John Wagner, on his The Boxer (first published in 1939) said the following regarding this bitch:\n\"Meta von der Passage played the most important role of the five original ancestors. Our great line of sires all trace directly back to this female. She was a substantially built, low to the ground, brindle and white parti-color, lacking in underjaw and exceedingly lippy. As a producing bitch few in any breed can match her record. She consistently whelped puppies of marvelous type and rare quality. Those of her offspring sired by Flock St. Salvator and Wotan dominate all present-day pedigrees. Combined with Wotan and Mirzl children, they made the Boxer.\"[7]\n(www.wikpedia.org)",

        "raw_content": "Sandwich Riverbus\nWestgate Towers & Museum\nPound Bar & Kitchen\nKent CT1 1PW\nThe ancient Church of St Martin in Canterbury was used for Christian worship before St Augustine and his missionaries arrived in 597 AD. It was Augustine\u2019s first church in England and has been in continuous use as a parish church ever since. The significance of this place has led to it being included in the UNESCO Canterbury World Heritage Site.\nThe fabric of the church includes a significant amount of Roman brick and tiling indicating that the original building was either built as a Christian church or a mortuary chapel during the Roman occupation (AD 43-410).\nKing Ethelbert\nThe history of St Martin\u2019s begins with the pagan King Ethelbert of Kent (c. 560\u2013616). In the 580s he married Bertha, a Frankish princess who was a Christian. Part of her marriage settlement was that she could continue to practise her religion and for this purpose she was allowed to be accompanied by her private chaplain, Bishop Lindhard.\nEthelbert restored an abandoned Roman building, outside the city walls, to be her personal Royal Chapel.\nIt is believed that the western part of the present chancel is Queen Bertha\u2019s original chapel. Certainly the rest of the nave and chancel were built in the 7th century.\nWhen Augustine landed on the Isle of Thanet, just off the Kentish mainland, he met King Ethelbert. Augustine explained the purpose of his mission and Ethelbert allowed him and his forty companions to cross to the mainland. He told them they would be received hospitably and not molested. Augustine and his companions followed the old Roman road, Watling Street, straight to Canterbury.\nAccording to ancient historian, the Venerable Bede, a mission base was established in Queen Bertha\u2019s chapel. Soon the Royal chapel was too small and the present nave was built. After Ethelbert was converted to Christianity and baptised, Augustine and his missionaries were given greater liberty to move around Kent, converting and baptising the King\u2019s subjects.\nFollowing his conversion Ethelbert gave Augustine a site for his household and a Roman building for his church within the city walls. It is the remains of this first cathedral that were discovered under the present Canterbury Cathedral nave. When Augustine died in the early 7th century he was buried in the north aisle of St Augustine's Abbey church.\nA Very Special Church\nSt Martin\u2019s is a very special church because of its connections with the spread of Christianity in Britain. It is also special because of its architecture. Few Saxon churches in their entirety remain. It has an early Perpendicular tower and an early Norman tub font.\nThere are several well preserved 16th century memorial brasses.\nTwo well known identities buried in the churchyard are the artist Thomas Sidney Cooper RA whose paintings are on display in Canterbury Art Gallery, and Mary Tourtel, creator of the popular children\u2019s comic strip character, Rupert Bear (1920-1935).\nThe church has a strong continuing musical tradition from the monks of St Augustine to the present day. The first Sunday of every month is usually a Renaissance Mass setting, sung by a quartet of singers.\nVisitors are more than welcome to attend services held weekly on Sundays at 10:00 and Thursdays at 12:00.\nTuesdays: 11:00 - 15:00\nThursdays: 11.00 - 15:00\nSt Martins Church External Link\nSt Martin's Church is located on the east side of North Holmes Road, close to the junction with Longport and St. Martin's Hill. It is about 10 minutes walk from Canterbury Cathedral.\nGoogle Maps - St Martin's Church",

        "raw_content": "China, Russia challenge US space capabilities: Pentagon\nChina and Russia have developed robust and capable space services and the two countries pose a challenge and threat to the space capabilities of the US, the Pentagon has said. Chinese and Russian military doctrines indicate they view space as important to modern warfare and counterspace capabilities as a means to reduce US and allied military effectiveness, the Pentagon said in a report released by the Defense Intelligence Agency. The report \"Challenges to Security in Space\" examines the space and counterspace programmes that could challenge the US or partner interests in the space domain.\nNoting that both countries have developed robust and capable space services, including space-based intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, the report said China and Russia were making improvements to existing systems including space launch vehicles and satellite navigation constellations. Running into more than 40 pages, the report mentions India a few times and describes China and Russia as a major challenger to the US, Iran and North Korea as other space challenges. The Pentagon lists India as one of the nine countries and one international organisation which can independently launch spacecraft: China, India, Iran, Israel, Japan, Russia, North Korea, South Korea, the United States, and the European Space Agency (from French Guiana).\nChina operates both a regional and worldwide satellite navigation system. In its report, the Pentagon said Chinese and Russian space surveillance networks were capable of searching, tracking and characterising satellites in all orbits. \"Both states are developing jamming and cyberspace capabilities, directed energy weapons, on-orbit capabilities and ground-based antisatellite missiles that can achieve a range of reversible to non-reversible effects,\" said the report. The report is intended to support a deeper public understanding of key space and counterspace issues and inform open dialogue and partner engagement on these challenges.\n\"Beijing and Moscow will continue to see space as integral to winning modern wars. They are developing systems that pose a threat to freedom of action in space. Both will continue their efforts to enhance their space and counterspace capabilities, and better integrate them into their respective militaries,\" the report said. The report notes that some actors will seek counterspace capabilities that target the perceived United States and allied reliance on space, including the ability to use secure satellite communications, precision strike capabilities, and Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance or ISR assets.\nGlobally, the space industry will continue to expand as technological and cost barriers fall and international partnerships for joint production grow. State, non-state and commercial actors increasingly will have access to information from space. \"The number of satellites and debris on orbit will grow concurrently, making tracking satellites, discriminating threats from non-threats, and predicting and preventing collisions a greater challenge,\" it said.",

        "raw_content": "As you\u2019re scouting your dream retirement locale abroad, don\u2019t forget to ask about those senior discounts.\nRetiree discount programs are available, for example, in a number of Central and South American countries. These programs offer senior citizens a range of perks, including affordable health care, reduced costs on travel and lower taxes.\nThere\u2019s a catch of course: Countries that offer these senior programs have requirements that applicants must meet in order to qualify.\nGenerally, this means you may have to be a property owner or legal resident of that country (as opposed to just a part-time visitor) with a minimum level of income from a stable source \u2014 via a pension, for instance.\n\u201cEvery country is going to be different, but in macro, countries want you to show that you won\u2019t be dependent on their largesse,\u201d said Jennifer Stevens, executive editor of International Living.\n\u201cBe aware of these requirements before you buy your ticket and head out, or you may find that you\u2019ll have to come back,\u201d she said.\nYou should also hire a lawyer who is familiar with the visa and residency requirements of your destination country, Stevens said.\nHere are the locales with the best senior discount programs, according to an analysis by International Living.\nThis Central American nation won the top spot in International Living\u2019s Annual Global Retirement Index, largely because of the special benefits it offers retirees.\nThe Panamanian pensionado program offers a 50 percent discount on entertainment costs and reduced rates on airline tickets and hotel stays, as well as lower prices on energy bills.\nThough you don\u2019t need to own real estate in Panama in order to qualify, you do need to draw a pension of at least $1,000 each month. If you have a spouse or children under age 18, you\u2019ll need to have an additional $250 per month for each dependent.\nAmerican retirees like Mexico because they can easily drop by for up to 180 days at a time on a tourist visa, said Stevens.\n\u201cThere are a lot of people who go part time,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s close and you can stay for six months without going through any visa rigmarole.\u201d\nOnce you decide to become a legal resident, however, you become eligible for the same discounts Mexican retirees may access. That includes reduced prices on theater tickets and museums, as well as lower costs on medications.\nRetirees hailing from the U.S. can apply for a temporary resident visa in Mexico and maintain it for up to four years.\nRetirees can apply for a pensioner visa in order to become residents, but they must show proof of income of at least $800 a month from a stable source, according to International Living.\nResidents who are over age 65 can enjoy relatively affordable health care (compared to the U.S.), breaks on certain municipal and utility taxes, and steep discounts on transportation across the country.",

The high pressure system directed north westerly winds across Victoria. This northerly wind flow contributed to Victoria experiencing unprecedented warm weather for this time of year.\nMany early season heat records were set for both warmest day and warmest night following mid winter (noting that late June/early July is typically the coldest time of year in southeast Australia). . .\nIn addition to early season records, a number of whole of August records were also broken. Perhaps the most significant was Melbourne2 which broke its overnight high temperature record for August on the night of the 4th when the minimum temperature was 17.3 \u00b0C. The previous warmest overnight temperature for Melbourne in August was 16.2 \u00b0C on the 20 August 1885. Similar record warmth was experienced in suburban Melbourne (Laverton and Essendon) and the Yarra Valley with an estimated 4% of Victoria experiencing the warmest August night in at least 100 years. Melbourne\u2019s maximum temperature of 23.2 \u00b0C on the August 3rd was the warmest day in Melbourne for the first half of August and an \"early season\" record for Melbourne ahead of the\n23.1\u00b0C set on July 30th 1975.\nPerhaps the most remarkable observations during the warm spell occurred during the early hours of August 4th when many sites in coastal Victoria experienced exceptionally mild conditions. As an example, Wilson Promontory recorded a temperature of 23.5 \u00b0C at 4am, approximately 15 \u00b0C above average and easily breaking the old high temperature record of 22 \u00b0C set on 28 July 1975.\n(h/t BraveNewClimate)\nLabels: Australia, Record Heat\nAugust Temperature Update: Heat Records Outnumbering Cold Records by Amazing 24 to 1\nAugust 11 Update: There were 42 all-time record high temperature records set in the first week of August.

For August 1-9, the number of new daily high temperature records set in the U.S. has overwhelmed the number of low temperature records by an astounding ratio of 23.9 to 1.

This has raised the ratio for the summer to date to almost 10 to 1 with just over 3 weeks remaining in the season.\nAlthough the most extreme heat has been focused on Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas, nearly all of the country has been averaging above average temperatures except for the Pacific Coast, Nevada, and Utah.\n- Monthly ratios of daily high temperature to low temperature records set in the U.S. for July 2010 through Aug. 9, 2011.

The Texas July average of 87.1 degrees F (30.6 degrees C) was also the hottest ever for that state. The previous hottest month was July 1954 in Oklahoma at 88.1 degrees F (31.2 degrees C).\nDelaware also had its hottest July in history. Top-ten hottest Julys were observed over a wide area from New Mexico and Colorado eastward through the Mississippi Valley, Great Lakes, Southeast, Mid Atlantic, and southern New England.\nThe only states with below-average temperatures were Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, and Nevada. It was the 11th coldest July in Washington state.\nNationwide, it was the 4th hottest July in history:\nThe average U.S. temperature in July was 77.0 degrees F (25.0 degrees C), which is 2.7 degrees F (1.5 degrees C) above the long-term (1901-2000) average, resulting [in] the fourth warmest July and the fourth warmest month on record.\nAugust Temperature Update: Heat Records Outnumberi...",

Tags: Best in Education awards, CTA, CTA school leader, Dan George, TheBestSchools.org\nDan George, Creative Technologies Academy\u2019s Superintendent and School Leader\nDan George, Superintendent/School Leader at Creative Technologies Academy, was recently named as one of the top 10 finalists in TheBestSchools.org annual awards. The finalists are primary and secondary school administrators who demonstrate a wide range of gifts, experiences and accomplishments. According to TheBestSchools.org, the top 10 named leaders have proven his or her ability to overcome odds, rally the team and cultivate educational success where weaker wills could not.\n\u201cI was honored and humbled to be nominated and selected as a top 10 finalist for this award,\u201d commented Dan George. \u201cI appreciate all of the support I receive daily from my dedicated staff of educators. Their hearts for kids and sacrificial service inspire me every day. Our highest priority is to do what\u2019s best for kids, and I know I can count on my staff to help us keep getting better.\u201d\nTheBestSchools.org provided an overview of George that included: he is a servant leader at Creative Technologies Academy (CTA), a charter school in Cedar Springs, Michigan. with about 300 students. Dan\u2019s experience in the business world (25 years) and as a basketball coach at a local college have molded his leadership style for teamwork, efficiency, and the work ethic to \u201ckeep getting better.\u201d Yet, make no mistake, George\u2019s first love is not business, or basketball, it is education. His educational credentials include a Bachelor of Arts in History and Teacher Certification from Hartwick College (Oneonta, NY) and a Master of Arts in Curriculum and Instruction from the College of Education at Michigan State University (East Lansing, MI). When George first arrived at Creative Technologies Academy almost six years ago, the school was facing a 50 percent student poverty rate (whose household income was at or below the poverty line), and the school was struggling in probationary status, barely maintaining accreditation. But before long, the school\u2019s state grades rose 31 percent and now CTA \u201cexceeds expectations.\u201d This was a marginal school that\u2019s now an academic leader.\n\u201cIt is really great for Dan to get recognized for the hard work that he does,\u201d praised David Oldebekking, Dean of Students. \u201cHe is a very humble man and a lot of his work is done behind the scenes, so for his hard work and sacrifice to be acknowledged is well-deserved.\u201d\nMr. George\u2019s methods emphasize leadership training and community engagement programs. For example, he has worked with his teachers and staff to develop leadership curriculum, emphasizing character, service learning, and college readiness. Effectively, this model empowers students to take responsibility for their community, actively apply their learning, and contribute to the overall health of their school. One spotlight for community engagement is \u201cCoffee with Mr. George,\u201d a monthly 7:00 a.m. open-door gathering to chat about the school, its direction, and its role in the community. George\u2019s peers describe him as a man of strong moral fiber and integrity. In applying for this award, George couldn\u2019t help but commend his fellow administrators and educators as his team of sacrificial servants.\nthe Best in Education Award centers around the legacy of Jamie Escalante and Henry Gradillas, the teacher and principal depicted in the film Stand and Deliver; their outstanding work at Garfield High School in the 1980s shines a beacon to this day. They hope to find and acknowledge outstanding teachers and school administrators across America. Their aim is not only to recognize the individuals, their work and their schools; it is to energize the spirit of excellence in education for all educators.",

        "raw_content": "Home > News > 2018 AIR PROVOST CONFERENCE: NAF UPGRADES CRIME LABORATORY, ADVOCATES SCIENTIFIC APPROACH TO CRIME FIGHTING\n2018 AIR PROVOST CONFERENCE: NAF UPGRADES CRIME LABORATORY, ADVOCATES SCIENTIFIC APPROACH TO CRIME FIGHTING\nThe Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has reactivated, expanded and upgraded its Crime Laboratory, which is located at its Provost Investigation Group, after 30 years of disuse. The resuscitation of the crime laboratory is to enable the employment of a more scientific approach to investigation of crimes in the NAF. The Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, revealed this yesterday, 30 July 2018, during a 2-day Conference for NAF personnel of the Air Provost Specialty, with the theme \u2018Scientific Approach to Crime Prevention: A Prerequisite for Contemporary Air Police Operations\u2019. The Conference, which began yesterday, is aimed at acquainting Air Provost personnel with scientific methods of tackling contemporary security challenges. In attendance at the opening ceremony were Air Provost personnel, both serving and retired, as well as provost officers from sister Services and the equivalent from para-military organizations.\nSpeaking during the opening ceremony of the Conference, the CAS stated that the traditional methods of policing had become less effective due to the influence of technology in the perpetration of crime. According to him, the NAF had therefore started building the capacity of Air Provost to effectively employ scientific approaches in all facets of its critical competencies. The CAS stated that 16 Air Provost personnel had commenced a 2-week core investigative skills and interviewing course while another set of 16 personnel would also begin the Crime Scene Investigation course by September 2018. The courses, which were being conducted in conjunction with reputable foreign partners from the United Kingdom, would reinforce the culture and efficacy of scientific approaches to policing in the NAF. He further disclosed that the NAF was expanding the use of Military Working Dogs to boost the physical security of NAF Bases while also working towards integrating them into the conduct of Combat Search and Rescue operations as well as rejuvenating NAF Provost\u2019s Explosive Ordinance Detection capability.\nDelivering his lecture on the theme of the Conference, the Guest Speaker, Dr Ona Ekhomu, who is a renowned security Consultant, stated that it was imperative for Nigeria to adopt scientific approach to crime fighting instead of the traditional methods. According to him, Nigeria is yet to have full forensic law and this, he said, had hampered investigation of serious crimes in the country. The Guest Speaker also identified lack of crime database, poor funding, skill and capacity gaps, lack of infrastructure and inadequate security awareness programmes as some of the challenges to crime prevention in the country. He commended the NAF leadership for upgrading its crime laboratory, which he advised, should be developed to include ballistic and biometric data capture, storage and analysis capability. During the discussion session, participants agreed that there was the need for synergy among all security agencies to stem the tide of criminality in the country.\nEarlier in his welcome address, the Chief of Administration, Air Vice Marshal (AVM) Kingsley Lar, represented by the Director of Legal Services, AVM Mahmoud Ahmed, said there was no alternative to the adoption of a scientific approach to crime prevention and detection. \u201cIt has always been the belief of the NAF leadership that the current security challenges in the country necessitate a review of the operational approach of the Service in meeting its security and defence imperatives\u201d, he said. Some of the highlights of the Conference included the presentation of Distinguished Leadership Award to Air Marshal Abubakar by the Association of Industrial Security and Safety Operators of Nigeria. The first day of the Conference, which ends today, also featured the unveiling of a newly designed peak cap for Provost personnel. The new peak cap was predicated on the need to streamline the Air Provost dressing with other sister Services while also giving the Specialty the requisite uniqueness.",

While preparing for her late husbands funeral, she was then told that she would have to provide her own flag. In most cases, funeral homes are able to obtain the flag for free from the Department of Veteran Affairs for services at Arlington. However, Grolton's body was donated to science so no funeral home was involved.\nAccording to Arlington Cemetery Administrator Jack Lechner families are notified before the funerals that is their responsibility to provide the flag. \"We send out a confirmation and on the confirmation, it reminds the family to bring the flag.\"\nGrolton told ABC Radio that, \"We kind of looked at this as the ultimate slap.\" This \"slap\" caused her to instead scatter her late husband's ashes at sea.\nFiled Under: american flag, funeral, navy",

        "raw_content": "Hi again! Tonight I want to talk about the remake of the movie I reviewed a few nights ago, On The Beach. This one was made 41 years later, but there are many similarities between the two.\n\u201cThe End of the World, the Beginning of Hope.\u201d Wait, that doesn\u2019t make any damn sense!\nThe main premise of the movie is still the same: the northern hemisphere has been destroyed and the fallout is coming down to Australia to kill everyone. Some details are different, though. In this version, it was a war between the US and China, not the USSR. Some of the places in the US where the sub goes to try to find life have been changed. Some of the effects are better (this time they were actually able to make San Francisco look like it was destroyed, which was apparently too difficult to do with f/x technology in 1959), but some are worse, actually (like the weird spinning camera). The acting is sometimes better (the Aussie guy and his family are maybe more convincing than the guy from Psycho, at least in terms of seeming Australian\u2026in fact, basically all of the Australian actors are better than the ones in the original), and sometimes it\u2019s worse (Armand Assante plays an \u00fcber-macho American sub captain, but Atticus Finch managed to convey more presence with subtlety and class). There are also more details in this version, which I actually liked. I was made for TV, though, so I guess they could take that luxury.\nHere\u2019s the opening scene, so you can get an idea of how it starts out:\nThe tone is mixed. The original was more somber, which may have had to do with the black and white film. This one looks and often feels like a soap opera, and that makes you almost think that it may pull a happy Hollywood ending out of nowhere at the very end. To their credit, though, they don\u2019t resort to that, and the end is just as sad as the original, if not more so. The scenes with the Aussies and their family are more detailed here, and they\u2019re much more effective as you see the hopelessness of it all, even if they try to die with dignity.\nSo what\u2019s the overall verdict? Well, I probably shouldn\u2019t have watched it right on the tails of the original (and other nuclear death movies), since I may not have had a chance to cleanse my movie palate. I guess I can say I \u201cenjoyed\u201d this, with the same caveat that it\u2019s not really possible to enjoy them. I guess \u201cappreciate\u201d would be a better word. It does a good job of making you seem powerless and making everything seem bleak, but mixing in a dash of hope since we\u2019ve not actually lived through all the crap happening in these movies. We can only hope that movies like these will help function as deterrents to keep us from destroying humanity.\nNostalgia Factor: 3/17 I guess it made me think of fashion from about 14 years ago, but that\u2019s not really a positive thing.\nScariness of the Nuclear Scare: 16/17 Since it\u2019s been thoroughly updated in many ways, this one may actually be scarier than the others. It\u2019s just that the way it\u2019s presented isn\u2019t 100% convincing since it\u2019s too flashy.\nArmand Assante\u2019s \u201cSerious Face\u201d Use: 15/17 (Probably way too much)\nThis very-similarly-titled movie was also released in 2000, making it hard to find pictures for the Aussie TV soap opera movie. But since it featured Leonardo DiCaprio\u2013who I don\u2019t care for\u2013I decided to put up this pic of his co-star.\nThis entry was posted in Review, Ryan, Sitzman and tagged 2000, Armand Assante, Atomic Film Fest, Disaster, Movie, Nuclear, On The Beach, Review, TV Movie, War by Ryan.

        "raw_content": "There are over 4,000 sites of special scientific interest (SSSIs) in England, covering about 7% of Englands land area. Over half of them, by area, are internationally important for their wildlife, and designated as Special Areas of Conservation (SACs), Special Protection Areas (SPAs) or Ramsar sites. Many SSSIs are also National Nature Reserves (NNRS) or Local Nature Reserves (LNRS).\nIf you are a new owner or occupier of an SSSI and you are reading this booklet for the first time, we would like to welcome you. If you are a longstanding owner or occupier, we hope you will find this booklet a helpful guide to the SSSI legislation. Our local advisors look forward to working with you, and will be pleased to offer practical advice about managing the plants, animals and geological features on your SSSI.\nSSSIs are the country\u2019s very best wildlife and geological sites, often standing out as the last remaining areas of natural habitat in our modern countryside. They include some of our most spectacular and beautiful habitats - large wetlands teeming with waders and waterfowl, winding chalk rivers, gorse and heather-clad heathlands, flower-rich meadows, windswept shingle beaches and remote upland moorland and peat bog.\nThe stunning gorge at Castle Eden Dene near Durham is a unique landscape with a rich geological history. Peter Wakely/Natural England\nIt is vital that the natural heritage that we have left is saved for future generations. Wildlife and geological features are under pressure from development, pollution, climate change and unsympathetic land management. SSSIs support plants and animals, which find it more and more difficult to survive in the wider countryside. Protecting and managing SSSIs is a shared responsibility, and an investment for the benefit of future generations.\nWicken Fen is the last remaining part of the Great Fen Levels in East Anglia. Peter Wakely/Natural England\nMost of these habitats have grown and developed over hundreds of years through management practices such as grazing or forestry. The unique and varied habitats of SSSIs, and the wildlife that they support, need active management to maintain their interest. We work with over 32,000 owners and land managers, who work very hard to conserve these special sites. We believe that maintaining goodwill and building upon the enthusiasm, knowledge and interest of owners is vital to successfully manage these nationally important sites.\nThe unimproved limestone grassland of Barnsley Warren SSSI contains one of the Cotswold\u2019s largest populations of the rare pasque flower.

So at 6:30 this morning when I heard who knows what kind of engine sound, I admit I was a bit afraid that they were drilling again. That somehow they didn't finish.\nUmmm... that wasn't it. Have I mentioned that I'm in a new neighborhood. Not all the houses are built. The cold weather slowed them down a bit, but apparently they are getting back into the swing of it full force. I'm all for this as I still don't have major warm fuzzies for the neighborhood. I think this will be resolved when it's \"complete.\" They did just finish building a nice two story across the street and I noticed the past couple of days lot prep for two more. The noise this morning - a crane! I've lived in \"being built\" subdivisions, but have never seen them bring in a crane. Concrete trucks were also present (and generating some noise) and on the way to work this morning, a little further up the street was a backhoe. I doubt it will be a quite day there. Again, I understand the building and want them to get done. But, 6:30 am? I just hope they are a bit more considerate on the weekend. In prior neighborhoods with building going on, they didn't start till about 8:00 am on the weekend. And that was just basically hammering. Not a great start time, but better than 6:30 in the morning.\nThe fun will start when they begin building the house on the empty lot next to me. I'm both ready for it and dreading it at the same time.\nLabels: house construction, neighborhood, noise",

        "raw_content": "The find was fortuitous.\nThe scientists that made this discovery are now calling the galaxy Bedin 1, after the lead discoverer, Luigi Bedin. This one is a lot closer, and it was discovered completely by accident.\nWhile analyzing stars in cluster NGC 6752, astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope encountered a tiny and faint spherical dwarf galaxy 30 million light-years away which they have nicknamed Bedin 1. This cluster lies around 13,000 light-years away, and scientists were studying the stars with Hubble to find out how old they are, and in turn, the age of the entire cluster. Bedin-1 is a small dwarf galaxy not unlike some of the other small dwarf galaxies that orbit the Milky Way, with one big exception: It's really far away from pretty much everything else. After a careful analysis of their brightnesses and temperatures, the astronomers concluded that these stars did not belong to the cluster - which is part of the Milky Way - but rather they are millions of light-years more distant. (For comparison, the Milky Way's famous spiral disk has a diameter of about 100,000 light-years.) Dwarf spheroidal galaxies are not uncommon; astronomers already knew of more than 20 that are satellites of the Milky Way. Bedin 1 may therefore be the most isolated small dwarf galaxy known. The lower image, depicting the complete cluster, is a ground-based observation from the Digitized Sky Survey 2.\nIt will be an unseeded draw and the order of the fixtures will be determined by how the balls are picked. A few minutes ahead of half-time, the Frenchman added another one to make it 2-0.\nThe ICE said since the Farmington varsity did not offer courses, the students were using the programme as a way to work. The Indian authorities also demanded the removal of the radio tags.\nBow Wow Arrested For Battery In Atlanta - See The Rapper\u2019s Mugshot\nAn Atlanta police spokesperson told E! When they arrived, a woman named Leslie Holden claimed Bow Wow assaulted her. Rapper Bow Wow was arrested early on Saturday morning in Atlanta.\nNASA's Hubble Space Telescope has been peering into the unknown and infinite universe for almost 30 years. The finding is reported in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters. The discovery of this isolated galaxy could \"put constraints on models of how the galaxy we see today did form\", said Bedin.\nBedin I was dated to around 13 billion years old; its oldest stars are no longer burning hydrogen-a tell-tale sign of its extreme age, explained Bedin. However, its remote location and the fact that it's not near any other galaxies has led researchers to label it \"a living fossil from the early Universe\". As telescopes on the ground and in space become more sophisticated, it seems highly likely that it's only a matter of time before more nearby cosmic fossils are dug up. The scope's cosmic views were initially blurry - the result of a slight flaw in Hubble's primary mirror - but spacewalking astronauts fixed that problem in December 1993.\n'Big six' energy firm Npower to cut 900 jobs\nUS bishops release names of 300 Texas clergy accused of abuse\n'Deadpool's Ryan Reynolds Calls Truce In Long-Standing Feud With Hugh Jackman",

The project has been led by Friends of Island Lake, in partnership with CVC and Credit Valley Conservation Foundation (CVCF).\n\u201cWe\u2019re so thankful for the generous donations and ongoing support from our friends at the Lions and Rotary Clubs,\u201d said Terri LeRoux, Executive Director of CVCF. \u201cTogether our organizations are helping inspire nature appreciation for the next generation of park visitors. This playground will provide an opportunity for kids to engage in unstructured playtime that encourages discovery and new experiences.\u201d\nThe natural playground project will feature a 1.17-acre (50,900 square foot) nature-inspired play area. It will incorporate natural elements like plants, water, logs, boulders and terrain, with built play structure to provide different sensory experiences and types of play opportunities. The structure will be suitable for children ages one to 12 years old.\n\u201cThe whole idea is that it\u2019s more creative based play, so that it\u2019s more flexible, more open, and kids can decide how they want to use the space,\u201d explained Jacob Pries, CVCF\u2019s community fundraising coordinator.\n\u201cAs we celebrate our 70th anniversary year of service in our community, we are proud to join with our Rotary friends and Credit Valley Conservation Foundation in developing this wonderful playground,\u201d said Bob Dickie, Lions Club Lion Chief.\nThe total cost of the project is between $175,000 to $200,000, with the service clubs donating half. It will be located on the Conservation Area\u2019s southern edge of the special event area.\n\u201cIt is a pleasure for the Rotary Club of Orangeville to partner with the Orangeville Lions Club and Credit Valley Conservation,\u201d said David Proctor, President of the Rotary Club. \u201cWe appreciate the value of the advice and direction of the Credit Valley Conservation Foundation in bringing the project to fruition.\u201d\nThe playground will feature a short, accessible loop trail that joins to the Memorial Forest Trail.

        "raw_content": "Today is a milestone for the blog for a couple of reasons. First, the proprietor is celebrating (if that\u2019s the correct word) his 48th birthday today. There was a time, seemingly not all that long ago, that the thought of being 48 years old was the same as being as old as the hills but only slightly younger than the dirt. Fortunately, I don\u2019t feel quite that old, but I do have my days\u2026..\nSecond, and much more important than the 19th anniversary of my 29th birthday, is that this marks the 900th post on this blog. When I started this blog on a whim in September 2005, I never in a million years figured I would still be at this 900 posts later. This blog has become an important part of my daily routine, and I greatly value the interactions with those of you who give your valuable time to indulge what I have to say here. I\u2019ve made new friends, re-connected with old friends, and have been rewarded immensely by doing what I do here.\nThank you to each and every one of you who give your time to indulge my rantings, and I hope you will continue to do so. I deeply appreciate the fact that you do so.\nCol. Joseph Frederick Waring\nI\u2019ve decided to profile a couple of my favorite forgotten Confederate cavalrymen this week. Both ended the war as colonels, but both temporarily commanded brigades at times. Today\u2019s profile is of Col. J. Fred Waring of the Jeff Davis Legion Cavalry, long a favorite of mine for the excellent diary of the last fourteen months of the war that he left behind. Thanks to old friend Paul F. Mullen for visiting the Georgia Historical Society in Savannah to get a couple of items on Waring for me. Finding biographical material on Waring is a challenge\u2013he died young during a massive epidemic, so there is no obituary, and not much detail on his life has ever surfaced. What follows is the most detailed biography of him ever assembled or possible given the information that is presently available.\nJoseph Frederick Waring was born in Savannah, Georgia on February 13, 1832. He was the son of William R. Waring, M.D. and Ann (Johnston) Waring. He had a brother named James J. Waring. Young Fred enrolled in Yale University, graduating in the class of 1952. He studied law in Philadelphia for a year and a half after graduation and then spent a year traveling around Europe. When he returned to Georgia, he became a successful planter, and also served as a city alderman in Savannah. He was married to Louise (Early) Waring.\nHe served in an elite militia unit from Savannah called the Georgia Hussars. Organized in 1749, the Georgia Hussars represented Savannah in all wars from colonial times through 1994. Waring became captain of Co. F of the Hussars. He took his company to Virginia a few weeks later, reporting for duty in Richmond upon arrival. Co. F was originally assigned to become part of the 6th Virginia Cavalry when they arrived in Richmond, but this did not last long. Captain Waring was wounded in the face on December 4, 1861 while leading a nighttime raid to try to capture Federal pickets near Annandale. He received \u00e2\u20ac\u0153a ugly gash of an inch or an inch and one half to his right cheek from a buckshot. His head grazed by another. The skin taken off the knuckles of his right hand, twelve holes through the cape of his overcoat.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\nThree days later, Waring\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s company of Georgia Hussars was assigned to become Company F of the Jeff Davis Legion, which was also called \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The Little Jeff.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d The Jeff Davis Legion was a hodgepodge\u00e2\u20ac\u201dits companies included men from Georgia, Mississippi, and Alabama. Waring was promoted to major early in 1862, and then, after participating in the Peninsula and Maryland Campaigns, was promoted to lieutenant colonel of the Jeff Davis Legion Cavalry on December 2, 1862. Waring became the regimental commander that December when Col. William F. Martin, the original commander of the Legion, was promoted to brigadier general and was transferred to the Western Theater. Waring commanded the Little Jeff for the rest of the war.\nHis unit served in Hampton\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Brigade, under the command of Brig. Gen. Wade Hampton, a gifted South Carolinian who eventually became the highest-ranking officer in the entire Confederate mounted arm. Waring ably led his unit through all of the major cavalry battles of the Eastern Theater, including Brandy Station, Gettysburg (where he was wounded for the second time), and Trevilian Station. In July 1864, he was promoted to colonel of the Legion, and that fall, he temporarily commanded Brig. Gen. Pierce M. B. Young\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s brigade (which included the Little Jeff). Waring was a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153brave and gallant\u00e2\u20ac\u009d officer, but was unpopular with his command. Some of his men remembered him as \u00e2\u20ac\u0153the type of a perfect knight, he was as tender of the rights of others as he was jealous of his own spotless honor,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and recalled him as \u00e2\u20ac\u0153a leader of rare merit.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\nWhen Hampton was promoted to lieutenant general and sent to South Carolina in February 1865, his division, including the Jeff Davis Legion, went with him. Waring served through Sherman\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Carolinas Campaign, including the March 10, 1865 Battle of Monroe\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Crossroads, and surrendered at Bennett Place with the rest of Gen. Joseph E. Johnston\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s command six weeks later.\nThe war over, Waring returned to Savannah, where he took a job as forwarding agent for the Georgia Central Railway Co. He also became the commanding officer of the Georgia Hussars, a position that he held until his death in 1876. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153In peace firm and upright, just and generous, prompt and untiring, he achieved success and deserved it,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d recalled a friend.\nHe returned to his post from a northern vacation just as a yellow fever epidemic reached its height. His job duties required him to be in the City of Savannah, and the disease struck him on September 30. He died of yellow fever at Whitesville, Georgia on October 4, 1876. He was only 44 years old when he died.\nThe men of the Georgia Hussars eulogized their fallen leader. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153He was the pride of our Troop. Upon him centered our hopes, our love, our trust. The record of his life is our precious inheritance,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d they declared. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153In the prime of manhood, in the full maturity of every excellence, with the apparent promise of years of usefulness, he has been taken. But he has not lived in vain if his life leads us to aim at his high standard. He has not died too young, whose name is already famous.\nJ. Fred Waring was buried in Savannah\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Laurel Grove Cemetery.",

Muzzle loaders are now the only legal useable handguns available to UK shooters (apart from the historic cartridge firing handguns kept at designated sites).

        "raw_content": "Allergies Home > Allegra Side Effects\nMost people do not have problems with Allegra, and when they do, the effects are usually minor. Some of the most common side effects are headache, coughing, and respiratory tract infection. Rare side effects of Allegra -- such as sleep problems, allergic reaction, and a rash -- are also possible, but these occur in less than 2 percent of people who take this medication.\nAn Introduction to Allegra Side Effects\nAs with any medicine, side effects are possible with Allegra\u00ae (fexofenadine hydrochloride); however, not everyone who takes the drug will have problems. In fact, most people tolerate it well. If side effects do occur, in most cases, they are minor, meaning they require no treatment or are easily treated by you or your healthcare provider.\n(This article covers many, but not all, of the possible side effects with Allegra. Your healthcare provider can discuss a more complete list of Allegra side effects with you.)\nCommon Side Effects of Allegra\nAllegra has been studied extensively in clinical trials. In these studies, side effects are always documented and compared to symptoms that occur in a similar group of people not taking the medicine. This way, it is possible to see what side effects occur, how often they appear, and how they compare to the group not taking the medicine.\nBased on these studies, the most common side effects of Allegra experienced by adults or children include:\nVomiting -- in up to 12 percent of people\nHeadache -- up to 10.3 percent (see Allegra and Migraines)\nCoughing -- up to 3.8 percent\nDiarrhea -- up to 3.7 percent\nRespiratory tract infection, such as the common cold or flu -- up to 2.9 percent\nDrowsiness or fatigue -- up to 2.8 percent\nBack pain -- up to 2.5 percent (see Allegra and Back Pain)\nMiddle ear infection (otitis media) -- up to 2.4 percent\nFever -- up to 2.4 percent\nDizziness -- up to 2.1 percent\nIndigestion -- up to 2.1 percent\nArm or leg pain -- up to 2.1 percent.",

        "raw_content": "Australians pride themselves on their laid-back culture; we like to think of ourselves as no-nonsense, practical and straightforward. For us the beach and the bush, sporting fields and the great outdoors are the places we feel most connected to because they exemplify the values of openness, play, freedom and our delight in the natural environment that we all share.\nLeisure is the highly appropriate theme for this summer issue of Architecture Bulletin. When you consider international tourism is the world\u2019s biggest commercial service sector industry it\u2019s not surprising that much of the work of architects do is in some way related to leisure. Think of the number of architects involved in restaurant and caf\u00e9 designs, as well as hotels, airports, parks, retail, zoos and all the other facilities at the big end of the leisure scale.\nOur laid back lifestyle helps us to create welcoming, relaxing environments, so leisure is an area of work in which Australian architects are highly competitive.\nContinuing on the theme of leisure this year, for the international audience we will see the realisation of Australia\u2019s pool-themed exhibition at the 2016 Venice Biennale \u2013 which expresses our love of water and how we relate to it. This exhibition is our opportunity to demonstrate to the world the varied and creative ways we have integrated and interpreted the pool into some of our best building designs. See the article on Page 26 for more on this major project.\nThe past year ended well for the Institute\u2019s role in advocating strategic improvements in the built environment. I am pleased to applaud the first appointments to the Greater Sydney Commission\u2019s key roles. I am confident that the team at the top \u2013 Lucy Turnbull as Chief Commissioner and Sarah Hill as Chief Executive \u2013 will steer the Commission in the right direction.\nEven more important for us, the appointment of Institute member Rod Simpson as Environment Commissioner is an extremely positive move. Rod\u2019s experience and expertise make him admirably suited for this new role. He led the urban design and spatial planning component of the City of Sydney\u2019s Sustainable Sydney 2030 Strategy and has been Director of the Urban Design Program at the University of Sydney for the last four years. Prior to these achievements he developed the Green Olympic Village concept, was Manager of Urban Design at the Sydney Harbour Federation Trust and was involved in the development of the \u2018City of Cities\u2019 metropolitan strategy for Sydney.\nAnother esteemed Institute member was recognised in a major appointment late last year. Helen Lochhead has been appointed Dean of the Faculty of Built Environment at the University of NSW, replacing Professor Alec Tzannes in February this year. Helen is moving on from her roles as Deputy NSW Government Architect and Adjunct Professor at the University of Sydney. Previously she has also taught at UTS and internationally at Harvard, MIT, Columbia University and the New York Institute of Technology.\nHelen is a previous recipient of both Fulbright and Churchill Fellowships, and most recently completed a Loeb Fellowship at Harvard University interrogating proposals and governance models for more resilient and liveable cities. She is a Fellow of the Institute and is Honorary Secretary of the National Council.\nCongratulations to both Helen and Rod on these prestigious and influential appointments.",

More than 13 million cosmetic plastic surgeries were performed in the U.S. during 2010, up 5 percent from 2009, according the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, or ASPS.\nPhillip Haeck, president of the ASPS, has noticed a sharp increase in plastic surgeries in his own practice. And much of his business is coming from men over the age of 55 who are concerned about keeping their jobs. Get the full story \u00bb",

        "title": "Donovan worked his way to the top at UH | starbulletin.com | Sports | /2008/03/15/",
        "raw_content": "Donovan worked his way all the way to the top at UH\nJim Donovan, the new University of Hawaii athletic director, answers questions about his background in the second of a two-part question-and-answer session.\nYesterday, the Star-Bulletin presented questions and answers with Jim Donovan about his vision for his new job as University of Hawaii athletic director. In today's conclusion, Donovan talks about his background, from growing up in California to how he got into athletic administration and his previous stint at UH as associate athletic director.\nQ: When you didn't get the job in 2002 you were able to keep a happy face. How difficult was it to swallow what had to be a huge disappointment?\nA: Herman (Frazier) was actually very good to me. He had a welcoming party in the Ed Wong room, and it went from 12 to 1 (p.m.). I left there around 12:35. He came to my office at around 12:45 and said, \"I've heard a lot of good things about you and you can keep your job, don't worry about that, I definitely would like to have you on my team, and you'll be evaluated just like everybody else.\"\nJust so happens, the next day ESPN called me and asked me if I was interested in being executive director (of the Hawaii Bowl). The way I looked at it was if I stay people will come to me and try to get Herman to change his mind on something. If I keep on going to Herman I become the squeaky wheel that gets replaced, if I don't go to Herman I become ineffective to the people that are approaching me. So I thought it might be best to take the opportunity to go to the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl.\nHerman asked me to stay for six weeks, so my first day at the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl was Sept. 16. We had no paperwork, no nothing, and we had basically 100 days to pull off a bowl game. I didn't have time to be down or anything. I was just so focused on pulling off a bowl game.\nI realized when I took that job how important it was for the UH football program to have this bowl game that would be on national TV in the middle of recruiting season. I've always wanted what's best for the university. I don't have any regrets. I think I've grown through having the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl job.\nQ: Your wife Tracy worked in the UH athletic department for quite a few years and she still works at UH. Will this be helpful for you?\nA: I think the most important thing is that because she's worked in athletics, she knows the hours and the commitment that it takes to really make athletics successful and flourish. That's the biggest help to me, that she's very understanding in that regard. Because she worked in athletics for 10 to 12 years she can really give me some input and be someone I can bounce things off of. That's very helpful.\nQ: Your family loves sports and loves UH, but regardless of that, especially with two teenagers don't you need to find a way to balance family and work?\nA: I'll be going to a lot of games, because my daughter (Jaqueline) plays three sports: judo, volleyball and basketball, and my son (Joshua) plays baseball and football. Between the UH sports and their sports, hopefully I won't be sleeping while I'm driving. Both of them go to Mid-Pac, so at least the location is convenient.\nQ: Tell me about your parents and their influence on your career and your values. Also, do you have brothers and sisters?\nA: I do have one brother and two sisters, came from a family of six. We're very middle class. Mom (Mary) didn't have to work, Dad (Jim) was an aerospace engineer. They provided us with everything that they could, mostly support and love. They sent me to a college-prep school and that was fantastic. My brother and sisters are very happy for me, and in their own right have been very successful.\nQ: What was it like growing up in the shadow of Disneyland?\nA: I spent most of my years growing up in Anaheim. Walt Disney is one of the people I respect the most. If there was a person I could meet who had passed away, for me, Walt Disney would be in my top three. His imagination and vision, to see it lasting 50 years later is beyond description. What a visionary he was.\nWhen it comes to the entertainment, education side of it, believe me, we will try to model ourselves, on the entertainment side of it, the way he has set it up, that whole Disney structure. In that sense, growing up next to Disney helped me understand what customer service was all about, how to make people smile, how to create memories.\nQ: Did you ever work there as a kid?\nA: No, I didn't. I tried out for one of their electric light parade things. I didn't make the cut. I was an offensive lineman and didn't have the ballerina skills. Didn't have the right body frame.\nA: I was a newspaper boy when I was 12. On Sundays the Orange County Register seemed like it had 400 pages, had to make three trips.\nBut it was very good, you interacted with people, you knew if you gave good customer service you'd get tips. It was a great experience for me. You were held financially responsible for every paper, so you learned real quickly about expenses and revenues.\nQ: Were you always an offensive lineman?\nA: I always played offense and defensive line. I always wished I could play linebacker. I loved playing defensive line because it was usually take a couple of steps and then kill the guy with the ball and that was a lot of fun.\nMoving up to the intercollegiate level, I didn't have the upper body size or height to be a real effective defensive lineman. But I was fine as an offensive guard, I could move quickly. A lot of sweeps and pulling guard stuff.\nQ: Most good football players compete with controlled rage. How does that translate into the business of being a good athletic administrator?\nA: I think athletics teach you how to accomplish extreme focus. The thing I learned through athletics is if you get angry, in all likelihood you will lose that one-on-one battle against the person across from you. You have assignments to do and the assignments don't always translate to one individual, sometimes you don't block that person in front of you, but you seal off a linebacker.\nBut if you get angry at that person in front of you, you over focus on him and you never get to the linebacker and he makes the play.\nSo who really wins? The other guy does, because you got angry.\nYou learn to focus, and don't get angry. It distracts you, and ultimately causes you to lose.\nQ: Was football always your favorite sport?\nA: I'd play around in basketball and baseball, but football was by far what I enjoyed the most and excelled in. I was a physical kid, I loved getting in there and grappling. Wrestled in junior high.\nThe thing about football I really loved was I'm out there with 10 other guys, so there's real team bonding, and you get to hit somebody. I never wanted to hurt somebody. I just wanted, at the end of the game, to feel like I did my job, I beat the other person, and we got more points on the scoreboard than they did.\nQ: Where did you want to go to college and why did you go to junior college?\nA: That's a great question. I actually signed to go to Cal Poly. I didn't have many scholarship offers, the academies, Cal Poly, Santa Clara, and San Diego State were looking at me.\nI wanted to go to USC or UCLA. I was 6-2, they were looking for 6-4. They both said I could walk on, but I wanted a scholarship.\nAbout two weeks after I got the Cal Poly scholarship, Purdue contacted my head coach and they said they wanted to offer me a scholarship. I tried to get out of Cal Poly and they wouldn't let me. So I enrolled in junior college and was there two years.\n(UH offensive line coach) Tom Freeman came in and recruited me.\nQ: How long were you able to keep the dream of being a professional player alive and when did you realize you might have to do something else?\nA: In 1982 we had Jesse Sapolu, Gary Allen, Mark Tuinei, a pretty good team with some talented players.\nThe Dallas Cowboys came and set up a table in our weight room. Their defensive coordinator, Ernie Stautner, talked to six of us. He asked me if I would like to become a free agent for the Dallas Cowboys. I said well, honestly, what's my chances (of making the team)? He said, son, I'm not going to lie to you. You don't have a chance in hell. But I need some very good young players to come in and block Randy White and Ed Too Tall Jones in practice and make them earn their spots and get better, and I know you can do that.\"\nHe said I'd get paid $2,000 a week and he figured I'd last about five weeks.\n\"But the only catch is you have to take care of your own medical if you get hurt.\"\nI said can I think about it for a day? The next day, I said, I really appreciate it, but I really appreciate your honesty and I'm gonna pass.\nQ: Was that when you started thinking about athletic administration, or was it coaching at that point?\nA: I wanted to be a coach. It just so happened at the end of the two years (as a graduate assistant at UH), Rockne Freitas gave me, through my hanai mom or dad, he said there's an opening at the baseball stadium.\nAs much as I loved coaching, the coaching paid $400 a month and the baseball stadium job paid about $1,500 a month. So I decided to go and do that and it was great he gave me that opportunity and it went from there.\nQ: What is something you're good at that maybe a lot of people don't know?\nA: I'm really good at walking. I walk almost every day from my house down to Sandy's or Blowhole and back. Anywhere from 4 to 6 miles.\nI don't think I'll be able to do that as much anymore. I'm sure the time constraints won't allow that. Now probably a treadmill with a TV on to keep up with the news. I know how important working out is on several levels.\nQ: What is something you're not so good at that people might be surprised to learn?\nA: I play tennis, but I can never get that ball onto that square on the other side. Not very good at tennis.\nQ: What did you learn from Hugh Yoshida?\nA: For me, Hugh was my last mentor in a sense. I work very closely with Pete Derzis at ESPN, and he helped me grow too, but he's in Charlotte, N. C., and I'm in Honolulu, thousands of miles away.\nHugh was my last hands-on mentor. He taught me how to listen, how people will often come to a solution to a problem if you let them work to it. If they're headed in the wrong direction, maybe you steer them back. The ambassador qualities that you need as an athletic director.\nHe taught me how to create an ohana environment in the athletic department, which I think is very important, because these people work very long hours and they need to know they're appreciated and loved and cared for. Hugh was very good at that.\nHe taught me how to build consensus and view the lay of the land politically and determine what is appropriate and not appropriate.\nQ: Despite that, the thing many people remember about Hugh and you is the firing of Bob Wagner. What are your thoughts of that situation?\nA: Bob Wagner is a great man. He brought us to the Holiday Bowl, to the Aloha Bowl. I didn't think he should be present at the press conference announcing the change. But I was associate athletic director and that was decided in the president's office, so you don't win on that one. I felt bad for Bob, and I still do, because I think people should focus on the good he did, not how he got let go.\nStage two was the whole interaction with Riley (Wallace at the press conference). Somehow it's become urban legend that I was threatening Riley, that I was going to fire him.\nRiley was upset, and you can't blame him because he felt Bob was brought out there to be beaten up by everybody, and he was speaking up to that. I saw President Mortimer's face getting more and more upset, so I went over to him and said \"Coach, you need to cool it.\" He told me to get lost in different words than get lost.\nI went back over to where I was, and Riley got into it again, more and more heated. I was getting worried that this might cost Riley his job. I told him, \"Are you trying to make it a two for one deal?\"\nI thought Riley did an admirable job with our program.\nIt's tough to be the men's basketball coach at the University of Hawaii. I loved his fiery style. I just didn't want to see him get fired that day.\nQ: What was your role in bringing June Jones to Hawaii in 1999?\nA: I think June always wanted to come back to Hawaii. Of course, the selection committee did a great job. My role is, I talked with him at Jack Murphy Stadium at a Chargers game, and he said he'd always be interested in coming back to coach at Hawaii. I had some follow-up conversations with him and he got more excited about it.\nEd Wong, Dr. Miyawaki and John Fink, and Hugh, the committee, did the rest. I was there, but didn't have to say much because I'd already been talking with June.\nAnd everyone knows the rest of the story.",

I was nineteen years old. My friend K helped me paint Van Gogh's Starry Night on ceiling and DeChirico's Melancholy and Mystery of a Street on the foyer wall. I lived next door to a hunky art student w/ bleach blond hair who who rode a BMW motorcycle and painted his whole apartment black.\nI was there when the Loma Prieta Earthquake struck just after I poured myself a glass of milk to go with a peanut butter & jelly sandwich. It was the day before my birthday and also the day before my neurology mid-term. I never took that mid-term because the earthquake shut down school for a week. I sipped my milk as the building rocked, and thought to myself, \"This is a bad one. Or maybe it's just this old building.\" After all, I was on the fifth floor. When the shaking stopped, I resumed reading about Lynn Margulis in a Smithsonian Magazine I picked up at the recycling center where I worked.\nI couldn't very well study without power so I thought about going to a movie. (That tells you what kind of student I was!) The Castro Theater was showing Kubrick that night. I'd missed the 4 p.m. screening of 2001, but I could hustle to make it to the 7 p.m. screening of Dr. Strangelove, which I'd never seen. I invited my other neighbor, a tall, teutonic beauty named Diana to go with me. She informed me the Bay Bridge had fallen down, the city was on fire, looters were looting, etc., etc. \"So, that's a no?\"\nMy dad got me on the phone at 3 a.m., worried sick. He reminded me it wasn't the first quake that killed all those people in Mexico City, it was the aftershocks. The first one just loosened all the bricks. The aftershocks brought all the buildings down.\nGardening at night.\nThat's what I'm reduced to with it being dark at 5 p.m. when I get home from work. I could garden in the morning before I go to work, but then what would I have to look forward to all day?\nTonight's observations:\nThe star flower bulbs I planted a month ago have sprouted. I didn't expect to see that for several months.\nThe tiarella seems to be going dormant. I wonder how long tiarella lives... I want mine to spread and form a carpet.\nThe mimulus I planted in October looks better than it did when I bought it at the nursery. I expect a big show next spring.\n(Note to self: Re-stack that stone wall)\nThe Meyer lemons are finally ripening. It's been little green balls all year long. I see Lemon Drops dancing in my head.\nI lived in the Mission for several years before I moved to Bernal Heights in 2003. Since then, I've rarely visited my old neighborhood. How nice the New York Times is keeping me up to date about the new restaurants.\nThis one sounds like fun to me:\nCaf\u00e9 Gratitude, 2400 Harrison Street at 20th, (415) 824-4652. Vegan dishes like I Am Worthy and I Am Wonderful may be cheap back-door tickets to knowing oneself, but some are top-notch examples of raw cuisine. Dinner for two with a large bottle of organic beer, $45.\nThe raw foods trend caught on big a few years ago, and then seemed to fizzle when its avatar local restaruants, Rawesome and Roxanne's Raw Foods, abruptly closed. Maybe that episode of Sex and the City did them in. I never had the chance to eat at Rawesome or Roxanne's. Now I have a second chance.\nUPDATE: Looks like there might be two Caf\u00e9s Gratitude. Hmmm... And a MetroBlogging commentor points out another place called Alive in a part of down I really never go to.\nThat circle of rocks at 11 o'clock rings a manzanita (Howard McMinn). Moving clockwise, next to the birdbath, I planted two mimulus cream (sticky monkey flower) and some pink primrose.\nThat mulch will sit for the winter. I sowed grass and California poppy seeds. I'll landscape that area in the spring if I don't get around to it this winter. At 4 o'clock, the Princess Plant remains in shade, but she'll get lots of sun this spring.\nDown at the bottom of the frame: sea pink (two of them), a climbing hydrangea, some dark-green waxy leaf shrub whose name I forgot and some pinkhead smartweed (which is Hawai'ian I believe & hopefully invasive). I planted several bulbs and some ground covers in the middle of the terrace too.\nAt 9 o'clock next to the pond, there are three grasses--Mexican feather grass, Deschampsia cespitosa (Northern Lights) and Libertia peregrinans (you can't see that one very well because it's dark, but it's next to the birdbath and it's starting to spread). Also a red flowering currant (ribes sanguineum glutinosum) and Zauschneria (epilobium). The bright green spreader growing over the rocks is a licorice that loves my yard. I have another one under the stairs and they're both spreading madly.\nI need to re-work some of the rock walls and hire an electrician to run an electrical line out into the yard so I can nix the extension cord that powers the pump in the pond. (Among many, many other things.)\nI love the splatter on the flagstone from the birds using the birdbath!\nNatives in this shot: manzanita, mimulus, one of the sea pinks, ribes, epilobium. I have more in another part of the yard.\nI didn't plan to get hyped about native plants when I started landscaping my backyard. In fact, I resisted the idea at first because native plant enthusiasts tend to be so...dogmatic. Dogma turns me off like a light switch.\nBut the idea took root (heh, heh) and now when I see an exotic plant at the nursery, I think it looks wrong somehow.\nI can't wait to see everything grow in.\nZauschneria on the left, Ribes on the right. Zaucsch will make white flowers, and Ribes red.\nJared Sandberg wrote an excellent column in today's Wall Street Journal on the subject of indecision in the work place. Some excerpts:\nFor people who work for indecision-makers, even the most irresponsible snap judments would be better than no decision at all--what General Patton called the \"ready-aim-aim-aim-aim syndrome.\"\nIndecision, alongside other obstacles such as bureaucracy and blame deflection, are \"driving employees absolutely crazy,\" says Jeffrey Saltzan, chief executive of Sirota [Survey Intelligence]. The trouble is, indecision often fails to get rectified because it's a lot harder to spot than bad decisions. \"It's like proving a negative,\" says Mr. Saltzman.\nIndecisive managers may not accomplish much. But on the long list of things they don't do is this: get fired. The not-so-little secret is that indecisions are often more frequently rewarded at the workplace than decisions, joining the litany of office-sanctioned bad behaviors that include toadyism, hissy-fits and frat-house machismo.\nI thought about checking to see whether the article is available online, and decided not to.\n\"[Copernicus'] famous book De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres), in which he first proposed that the Earth revolves around the Sun, was published after his death. And astronomy was little more than a spare-time occupation for the clerical man whose name now stands as one of the most significant in the history of science.\" Link.\nPolish archaeologists believe they've located Copernicus' remains.\nGet a massage at the airport\nOfficials plan to nearly triple the amount of space allotted to spa facilities [at San Francisco Int'l Airport] in the coming year, putting the airport at the forefront of a national trend toward hosting services that appeal to domestic and international travelers weary with stress and fatigue.\nFive years after the concept for a multisite spa at the airport first emerged, SFO is advertising a four-location lease involving 3,693 square feet of commercial space to prospective developers, according to airport property manager Sharon Perez. At least 50 companies have already expressed interest in the opportunity, which will require a $461,700 minimum initial investment.\n\u201cIt\u2019s a new trend coming up with the airports,\u201d Perez said. \u201cIt\u2019s really just geared for the passenger between his flights.\u201d\nThe ghost city of Varosha. Look at those beautiful beaches!\nRecent work on sleep.\n\"The implication of these findings is that the sleeping brain can either generate its own perceptions or it can think about them. It cannot do both at the same time. Dreaming is therefore as hallucinatory and thoughtless (or delusional) as so-called mental illness.\nIn the second study we tested this hypothesis. When psychotic schizophrenic patients were given the thematic apperception test (TAT), in which verbal descriptions of simple but ambiguous pictures are recorded and scored, when they were awake and asked to report their dreams, they had equally high scores on a bizarreness scale (designed to pick up cognitive discontinuity and incongruity) for both. [N]ormal control subjects have the same amount of dream bizarreness as the patients but are much less bizarre in their wake-state projective test responses.\nThese findings support the hypothesis that REM sleep is a physiological brain state that produces a distinctive and psychosis-like mental content, whereas during normal waking such properties are suppressed. Put another way: when awake, the brain is normally free of the formal aspects of dream activity. Conversely, normal dreaming is justifiably considered to be an entirely normal model of highly abnormal conditions of the human brain and mind. It is now clear that the kind of consciousness that a person experiences is a function of the state of the brain.\"\nSo maybe the brains of psychotic people are dreaming, and simply can't wake up.\nI performed some minor edits on the quote above. You can see the original here, and check out the TOC for the whole sleep supplement here.\nThis interested me too: \"Major disasters such as Three Mile Island, Exxon Valdez, Bhopal, and Challenger were all officially attributed to sleepiness-related impaired judgment in the workplace.\"",

        "raw_content": "Covenant Community Church will observe the Lord\u2019s Supper this Sunday, July 1, which is our custom on the first Lord\u2019s Day of the month. In writing about this memorial meal, the apostle Paul said in I Cor. 11:26, \u201cFor as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord\u2019s death until He comes.\u201d God\u2019s Word explains in this verse that part of this observance is gospel proclamation. Everyone who partakes of communion is preaching the gospel of Jesus. The Lord\u2019s Supper is not only a means of remembering what Christ has done for us, but it is a means of declaring the good news of His saving work \u2013 to one another, to unbelievers who may be present, to the unseen beings who observe what we are doing. For instance, we are proclaiming to the demons the sufficiency of Jesus\u2019 work \u2013 that His death has atoned for sin and delivered captives from their clutches. This is not the only time participants in corporate worship proclaim the gospel. We also do it when we sing gospel-focused songs and read gospel-drenched passages corporately. The Lord\u2019s Supper is, however, a God-ordained means of gospel declaration we should be aware of as we partake of the bread and cup. May we do so this Sunday.\nWorshiping as a church: Showing up \u2013 for the duration (Second in a series)\nThere is a saying that goes like this: \u201cHalf of life is showing up.\u201d Now I don\u2019t know about the 50 percent estimate, but I think there is something to be said for such an assessment. There are lots of things we may fail to do simply because we don\u2019t show up.\nIn a sense, that bit of homespun wisdom has some application when it comes to corporate worship. The writer of the letter to the Hebrews thought it was important enough to mention to First Century disciples: \u201cLet us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful; and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near\u201d (Heb. 10:23-25).\nIf we don\u2019t show up for corporate worship, there will be no opportunity for us to stimulate other Christ followers \u201cto love and good deeds\u201d or to encourage them -- at least in the setting described by God's Word. There will be no opportunity to confess our hope in Jesus with our fellow disciples. And I would add: Not arriving by the time corporate worship begins and not staying until it entirely ends will limit those opportunities as well. By \u201centirely,\u201d I mean the entire time the church has established as its weekly Lord\u2019s Day gathering. For Covenant Community Church, that includes not only the large group meeting that begins at 10 a.m. but the discipleship classes and share/prayer sessions that follow.\nThis ministry of stimulating and encouraging has both corporate and individual manifestations. In the corporate sense, presence is a means of stimulating and encouraging others who are with us in worship. Our brothers and sisters recognize our commitment not only to Christ but to them. In addition, singing with the rest of the body is a means of \u201cteaching and admonishing\u201d each other, as Col. 3:16 says, and thereby stimulating and encouraging one another. Individually, we have an opportunity to stimulate and encourage each other one on one before or after our time together.\nThere are other reasons for \u201cnot forsaking our own assembling together.\u201d For example, it enables us to hear the Word of God taught systematically and, in so doing, have our souls fed, and it enables us to pray together for God\u2019s gracious work.\nRegrettably, our culture is no longer supportive of Christians \u201cnot forsaking our own assembling together.\u201d Gone is the time when society carves out space on the Lord\u2019s Day in deference to Christians who gather to worship.\nAs a result, disciples of Christ sometimes must make counter-cultural decisions in order to abide by the command not to forsake our assembling. It may require some tough calls for believers, especially heads of households. I acknowledge there are exceptions to every rule. Sometimes they involve work and other situations.\nNonetheless, worshiping as part of a church is a priority, according to the New Testament, and it requires each follower of Jesus to make that time a priority. As I said in the first post in this series: \u201cThe gathering of the church on the Lord\u2019s Day is normally the most important meeting we will participate in each week, except possibly those in our home.\u201d\nAfter all, we are those whom God has chosen to call to Himself for eternity. We are members of a body established by the cross of Christ. God calls us to gather regularly now with other called-out ones to rejoice in that bond. It is preparation for when with these same ones we will worship the King of Kings and Lord of Lords eternally. It doesn\u2019t get any better in this life.\nHere is another reason to preach the gospel to yourself as provided by Milton Vincent in his book A Gospel Primer for Christians. It is because of the \"Sufficiency in the Gospel:\"\nThe gospel serves as the means by which God daily constructs me into what He wants me to be and also serves as the channel through which He gives me my inheritance every day of my Christian life. Hence, it could be said that the gospel contains all that I need \"for life and godliness.\" It is for this reason that God tells me to be steadfastly entrenched in the gospel at all times and never to allow myself to be moved from there. The mere fact that God tells me to stay inside the gospel at all times must mean that He intends to supply all of my needs as long as I am abiding in that place of luxury.\n(Scriptures cited: Acts 20:32; II Peter 1:3; Col. 1:23, 2:8-10.)\nMondays are for music: 'Worthy Is the Lamb'\nThe Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir began in the mid-1970s with only nine members. It now numbers 280 and has become well known far beyond its ministry within its own church. The choir sings a song by Darlene Zschech of Hillsong in this video. It is great to watch the multi-ethnic choir and congregation sing and worship together.\nPraise and thanksgiving are integral elements of worship. We express praise and thanksgiving to the One who is worthy of worship. In praise, we respond to His attributes \u2013 or who He is. In thanksgiving, we respond to His works \u2013 or what He has done. Sometimes those flow together in worship. We see this in Psalm 111. In verse 1, the psalmist writes, \u201cPraise the Lord! I will give thanks to the Lord with all my heart, in the company of the upright and in the assembly.\u201d (That last portion is a great portrait of corporate worship.) We see this mixture of praise and thanksgiving in verses 2-4 as well: \u201cGreat are the works of the Lord; they are studied by all who delight in them. Splendid and majestic is His work, and His righteousness endures forever. He has made His wonders to be remembered; the Lord is gracious and compassionate.\u201d May we ponder His attributes and works as we gather together this Sunday, and may we express our praise and thanksgiving as His people.\nWhy this election of a SBC president was special\nIt helps to know the history of the Southern Baptist Convention to understand why what happened at its annual meeting Tuesday afternoon in New Orleans was so meaningful.\nThe convention -- the largest non-Catholic denomination in the United States \u2013 began over the issue of slavery. Baptist churches in the South wanted to be able to appoint slave owners as missionaries. Baptist churches in the North disagreed. As result, those who saw no problem in slave owners being missionaries formed the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) in 1845.\nOn the SBC\u2019s 150th anniversary, messengers \u2013 the title of delegates from churches to the convention \u2013 approved a resolution repenting of the convention\u2019s pro-slavery background and often racist past, as well as its widespread opposition in the South to the civil rights movement.\nOn Tuesday of this week, the messengers of a denomination birthed as the defender of slave owners elected a man whose ancestors were slaves as president of the convention. Fred Luter, pastor of Franklin Avenue Baptist Church in New Orleans, became the SBC\u2019s first black president. From all I understand, he is a powerful proclaimer of the gospel of Jesus and a faithful, sacrificial shepherd to the flock he has pastored since 1986. When Hurricane Katrina scattered much of the congregation to other cities in 2005, he continued to shepherd many of the members by traveling to where they lived in order to minister to them.\nIt was a special experience to stand with my wife and daughter Tuesday afternoon in the back of a huge convention hall to watch several thousand Southern Baptists stand to support the unopposed election of Fred Luter as president. It was another demonstration of God\u2019s grace. He had shown once again He makes things new. He had shown once again His grace super-abounds over sin. He had shown once again the power of the gospel \u2013 the gospel that unites through the finished work of Christ those who were on opposite sides of a wall built with the bricks of pride and hate.\nRussell Moore, theology dean at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Ky., put it well, I think, when he told Joe Carter of The Gospel Coalition: \u201cA descendant of slaves elected to lead a denomination forged to protect the evil interests of slaveholders is a sign of the power of a gospel that crucifies injustice and reconciles brothers and sisters. The election of Fred Luter doesn\u2019t mean the question of racial justice is settled for Southern Baptists, but it is one small step toward our confessing that Jesus Christ and Jim Crow cannot exist in the same denomination, or in the same heart. One has got to go.\u201d\n(For those who may not know, I am an employee of an agency of the Southern Baptist Convention and work at each year\u2019s meeting as part of my job.)\nGospel-centered vs. child-centered discipleship\nParenthood is a great privilege. It also is a huge challenge. That\u2019s an acknowledgement, not an announcement. Anyone who is a parent already knows it.\nFor disciples of Jesus, parenting is more than producing a non-rebellious teenager, a morally upright adult or an upstanding citizen. Parenting for us is about the glory of God, the exaltation of Jesus and the gospel of grace. Our desire is children who become whole-hearted followers of Christ who are passionate about God and His glory and the making of disciples.\nThose goals don\u2019t guarantee we will parent in accordance with them. We can still unwittingly rear our children in ways that undermine those goals.\nI think the post below by Lula Simms can help you, as a Christian parent, think more clearly about child-rearing. She posted this article at Gospel Centered Discipleship, but she posts regularly at her blog, Gospel Grace. I linked May 8 on my blog to a post of hers about mothers being Christ-centered rather than child-centered. In the post below, she writes eloquently about gospel-centered discipleship of children as opposed to child-centered discipleship.\nFor instance, she writes:\nI have lived with fear and anxiety over my children\u2019s sins, and I\u2019ve come to realize what was in my heart. I was not offended by their sins for the sake of God\u2019s reputation, nor was I offended because sin is rebellion and an affront to the person of Christ himself. No, I feared sin in my children\u2019s lives because I cared more about all the earthly consequences of sin.\nI think her post is vital enough to merit being used in its entirety, and I hope it helps those of you who are \u2013 or who will be -- parents:\nWhen Jesus instructs us to go out and make disciples of all nations, that includes our children\u2014our closest disciples. Of course, discipleship should not end in the home, but our families are our most naturally-authentic relationships. Everyday, the gospel compels us to ask: How are we discipling our children? More importantly, how should we be discipling them? There is a tendency (sometimes unknowingly) for parents to fall into child-centered discipleship. This could happen for many reasons, even from a well-meaning desire to see our children become Christians. However, what we may fail to grasp is that we should be applying the gospel daily even to the relationships with our children. They don\u2019t need something else; they need the same thing we all need\u2014they need Jesus.\nIf we stop to consider the motivations of our hearts\u2014what is driving us as parents\u2014we can gain important insight into the discipleship of our children. The driver behind gospel-centered discipleship is the glory of Christ. The driver behind child-centered discipleship is the glory of our children, and by extension, our own glory. In order to understand my own motives, I\u2019ve learned to ask myself: Do I want my children to know God, to rest in the person and work of Christ, to have their many, many sins washed in the blood of the Lamb, and to eternally glorify Him? Or rather do I want my children to be \u201cgood,\u201d to scrupulously avoid sin and follow biblical injunctions, to avoid bad consequences in this life? Obviously, these are not mutually exclusive, but where does Christ ask us to put our emphasis? My answers to these questions revealed some very selfish desires. I have lived with fear and anxiety over my children\u2019s sins, and I\u2019ve come to realize what was in my heart. I was not offended by their sins for the sake of God\u2019s reputation, nor was I offended because sin is rebellion and an affront to the person of Christ himself. No, I feared sin in my children\u2019s lives because I cared more about all the earthly consequences of sin. For example, a little over eight years ago, I grabbed hold of Deuteronomy 6 and started rattling it like a sword in a battle cry for homeschooling. I had convinced myself that this was the only type of schooling capable of producing godly children. At the heart of my child-centered thinking, was the belief that I, as a parent\u2014not Christ, as our Lord\u2014must do everything to protect my children from the world and sin.\nBy pure grace, almost two years ago, I was convicted that I had valued my children\u2019s well-being more than I had valued Jesus. I trembled at the realization that the comfort and safety (even the spiritual safety) of my children, had become more important to me than the person of Christ. Their \u201cgodliness\u201d was a higher priority in my own life than was Christ\u2019s glory. For all my talk about holy living, I was unwilling to follow Abraham\u2019s spiritual example. I had denied Christ\u2019s call to forsake all else and follow Him. Instead, I had attempted to supplant the Holy Spirit, to save and sanctify my children by my good works. This is the sad truth of child-centered discipleship\u2014at its core it is self-centered legalism, even rebellion.\nBecause we are our children\u2019s parents and earthly authority (while they are young) we can slip into the mindset that their salvation and sanctification depends on us. This slip then leads to mentoring and training that is child-centered. This is false. The Holy Spirit is responsible for conviction of sin and bringing people to salvation. That includes the little people in our homes. When we search out the Spirit, when we talk about Him and hold Him up before our children, we are modeling a life of Spirit-dependence for our children. This is training them to walk in step with the Sprit.\nHowever, when we put our children, their needs (physical, spiritual or otherwise), their goals (or ours) before Christ, when we lead them without relying on the Spirit (by relying on ourselves to fulfill our children), we are being false teachers at worst and poor disciple-makers at best. It can\u2019t be all about them; it has to be all about Jesus. This is hard and can be a real blind spot for parents because we are instructed in Scriptures to bring up our children in the \u201cdiscipline and instruction of the Lord\u201d (Ephesians 6:4). But our wayward hearts can pervert even a verse like that by setting our efforts to secure our children\u2019s spiritual well being above all else. Make no mistake, our efforts are very important, but our efforts do not have power to save and transform. Nothing that we do will ever eclipse the power and grace of Jesus.\nHow do we set a good example of a disciple before the eyes of our children so they can emulate us? It\u2019s not just about making Jesus our priority. It\u2019s about showing our children that our identity is in Christ. From our identity in Christ, our identity as parents will naturally flow. Along with this we must model a life of reliance on the Holy Spirit. Our children need to hear us say: \u201cI prayed for the Lord to fill you with his Holy Spirit today.\u201d Or, \u201cI prayed for the Spirit to give you wisdom when you met with your teacher.\u201d\nHow can we get there? The Holy Spirit often prompts us to take a hard look at the things that excite us. Our children pick up on our excitement and our passions. If getting through today\u2019s installment from the church family worship book takes precedence over having compassion on a red-eyed child who is up past his or her bedtime, our children will begin to sense that checking off a box on our godly to-do list is more important than loving our neighbor.\nD.A. Carson says this extraordinarily well in the context of the student/teacher relationship:\n\"Recognize that students do not learn everything you teach them. They certainly do not learn everything I teach them! What do they learn? They learn what I am excited about; they learn what I emphasize, what I return to again and again; they learn what organizes the rest of my thoughts. So if I happily presuppose the gospel but rarely articulate it and am never excited about it, while effervescing frequently about, say, ecclesiology or textual criticism, my students may conclude that the most important thing to me is ecclesiology or textual criticism. They may pick up my assumption of the gospel; alternatively, they may even distance themselves from the gospel; but what they will almost certainly do is place at the center of their thought ecclesiology or textual criticism, thereby wittingly or unwittingly marginalizing the gospel.\"\nMy husband and I saw this same mistranslation happen with our children when we were not deliberate about the gospel. Even worse than merely de-emphasizing the gospel, we started realizing that our children had become judgmental little scoffers. Why? Because we were so busy comparing and contrasting our education, parenting, and worship style choices with those of other parents that we had marginalized the gospel before our kids. We were way more excited about high church liturgy, classical education, \u201ccourtship,\u201d family worship times, you name it. We actually believed they were signs of spiritual maturity. The only problem was, we had neglected the one and only thing that could ever give our children and us the power and strength for real spiritual maturity\u2014the gospel.\n(HT: Tim Challies)\n1. Things nobody tells you about being a dad \u2013 Chicago area pastor Daniel Darling, a father of four, provides some insightful reflections -- and funny ones, especially about the awesomeness of minivans \u2013 on the wonder and sometimes terror of being a father.\n2. How the New Testament books were chosen \u2013 Timothy Paul Jones, a professor at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, explains what qualified writings to be included in the New Testament.\n3. Heavenly mindedness makes a difference on earth \u2013 Author Randy Alcorn writes about the importance of Christians having a biblical understanding of Heaven.\n4. The seduction of porn and the integrity of Christian marriage (Part 1) \u2013 Al Mohler, the president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, reposts a two-part series that was first published seven years ago. He concludes in this first part about porn\u2019s threat to marriage with this: \u201cPornography represents one of the most insidious attacks upon the sanctity of marriage and the goodness of sex within the one-flesh relationship. The celebration of debauchery rather than purity, the elevation of genital pleasure over all other considerations, and the corruption of sexual energy through an inversion of the self, corrupts the idea of marriage, leads to incalculable harm, and subverts marriage and the marital bond.\u201d\n5. The seduction of porn and the integrity of Christian marriage (Part 2) \u2013 Mohler describes what sex should be in marriage \u2013 as contrasted with what it is for the porn-consumed \u2013 and closes this way: \u201cThe deliberate use of pornography is nothing less than the willful invitation of illicit lovers and objectified sex objects and forbidden knowledge into a man\u2019s heart, mind, and soul. The damage to the man\u2019s heart is beyond measure, and the cost in human misery will only be made clear on the Day of Judgment. From the moment a boy reaches puberty until the day he is lowered into the ground, every man will struggle with lust. Let us follow the biblical example and scriptural command that we make a covenant with our eyes lest we sin. In this society, we are called to be nothing less than a corps of the mutually accountable amidst a world that lives as if it will never be called to account.\u201d\nMondays are for music: 'Satisfied in You' (Psalm 42)\nThe Sing Team leads music at one of the campuses of Mars Hill Church in the Seattle area. Brian Eichelberger leads the team and writes music. One of his songs is \"Satisfied in You,\" based on Psalm 42. Here is what he said about the song, according to a post by Justin Taylor: \"The song begins by following closely to Psalm 42 singing, 'As the deer pants for water so my soul thirsts for you.' The second verse then dives more into my personal response to the Psalm. A lot of times my tendency is to go into a depression looking into myself which only spirals me further down. The song is meant to preach to myself and call me to remember the times when I experienced the glory and goodness of God which can help bounce me out of that vicious cycle. It\u2019s meant to get my eyes off of me and be satisfied in God alone.\" (HT: Dane Ortlund and Justin Taylor)\n\"Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name\" (Ps. 103:1). \"Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to his name\" (Heb. 13:15). From these verses, I think we can at least make the observation that worship is not passive. Given that worship involves an active participation, I pose the following as some questions each of us could ask in preparation for worship as a church this Sunday:\n-- What is an attribute of God that has been particularly meaningful to me this week?\n-- What recent work of God do I have to thank Him for?\n-- What difference has the gospel of Jesus -- and/or reflecting on the gospel -- meant in my life recently?\n-- In what ways can I praise and thank God this Sunday so that He would be glorified and other worshipers would be built up?\n-- Will I fight during worship to be focused -- and stay focused -- on our Triune God and his work?\n-- Will I sing with understanding that I might teach others the truth in so doing?\n-- How can I serve fellow worshipers this Sunday that I might exalt Christ and bless them?\n-- Will I see my fellow worshipers as my true and eternal brothers and sisters who need grace as I do?\nWorshiping as a church: An introduction\nThis post begins a new series on corporate worship. My goal for this series is to help each of us worship in spirit and in truth each Sunday as a part of a church. I hope God will use it in some small way to help stir a revival of corporate worship among His people. I am writing it with our church \u2013 Covenant Community Church of Fredericksburg, Va. \u2013 in mind, but I hope it will help other disciples and their churches as well.\nThis post is an introduction to the rest of what I will write. The statements below are some of those I think are important on the subject and hopefully will explain why I consider this series vital to our church. They are not comprehensive. I could say much more about corporate worship. I write with the belief these truths are consistent with Scripture, especially the New Testament, and foundational to what a church is and what its worship is:\n-- Each Christian is created and re-created to worship his or her Creator.\n-- Worship is always personal but not always private. It also is to be corporate.\n-- The church is the body that is to practice corporate worship regularly.\n-- The church is the body of Christ, purchased by Him, gifted by Him and brought together by Him to glorify God, exalt Him and make disciples.\n-- The gathering of the church on the Lord\u2019s Day is normally the most important meeting a Christian will participate in each week, except possibly those in his or her home.\n-- Corporate worship as part of a local church is indispensable to every Christian.\n-- Corporate worship with a local church of which a Christian has become a member should be a priority.\n-- Corporate worship is for participants, not spectators.\n-- Worship, including corporate worship, is a response to God\u2019s revelation of Himself and His works.\n-- Corporate worship has both vertical (toward God) and horizontal (toward other worshipers) aspects.\nWhy men are addicted to Internet porn and video games\nRussell Moore can regularly be counted on to write provocatively and with keen insight. He has a way with words, and those words often cause me to marvel at the deep understanding God has given him regarding the gospel and its implications.\nThe theology dean at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary did it again May 25 in a blog post for Desiring God. His post is titled \u201cFake Love, Fake War: Why So Many Men Are Addicted to Internet Porn and Video Games.\u201d He addresses a major challenge for the church, the family and the culture. Without a God-centered, gospel-infused engagement by the church especially, we indeed may lose much of a generation of males. I have reprinted his post below, because of its importance. I think anyone who reads it will benefit from its biblical, gospel insight.\nThis is another in a series of posts at this blog on the scourge of pornography.\nYou know the guy I'm talking about. He spends hours into the night playing video games and surfing for pornography. He fears he's a loser. And he has no idea just how much of a loser he is. For some time now, studies have shown us that porn and gaming can become compulsive and addicting. What we too often don't recognize, though, is why.\nIn a new book, The Demise of Guys: Why Boys Are Struggling and What We Can Do About It, psychologists Philip Zimbardo and Nikita Duncan say we may lose an entire generation of men to pornography and video gaming addictions. Their concern isn't about morality, but instead about the nature of these addictions in reshaping the patten of desires necessary for community.\nIf you're addicted to sugar or tequila or heroin you want more and more of that substance. But porn and video games both are built on novelty, on the quest for newer and different experiences. That's why you rarely find a man addicted to a single pornographic image. He's entrapped in an ever-expanding kaleidoscope.\nThere's a key difference between porn and gaming. Pornography can't be consumed in moderation because it is, by definition, immoral. A video game can be a harmless diversion along the lines of a low-stakes athletic competition. But the compulsive form of gaming shares a key element with porn: both are meant to simulate something, something for which men long.\nSatan isn't a creator but a plagiarist. His power is parasitic, latching on to good impulses and directing them toward his own purpose. God intends a man to feel the wildness of sexuality in the self-giving union with his wife. And a man is meant to, when necessary, fight for his family, his people, for the weak and vulnerable who are being oppressed.\nWhen these drives are directed toward the illusion of ever-expanding novelty, they kill joy. The search for a mate is good, but blessedness isn't in the parade of novelty before Adam. It is in finding the one who is fitted for him, and living with her in the mission of cultivating the next generation. When necessary, it is right to fight. But God's warfare isn't forever novel. It ends in a supper, and in a perpetual peace.\nMoreover, these addictions foster the seemingly opposite vices of passivity and hyper-aggression. The porn addict becomes a lecherous loser, with one-flesh union supplanted by masturbatory isolation. The video game addict becomes a pugilistic coward, with other-protecting courage supplanted by aggression with no chance of losing one's life. In both cases, one seeks the sensation of being a real lover or a real fighter, but venting one's reproductive or adrenal glands over pixilated images, not flesh and blood for which one is responsible.\nThe answer to both addictions is to fight arousal with arousal. Set forth the gospel vision of a Christ who loves his bride and who fights to save her. And then let's train our young men to follow Christ by learning to love a real woman, sometimes by fighting his own desires and the spirit beings who would eat him up. Let's teach our men to make love, and to make war . . . for real.\nTemptation, porn and valuing Jesus\nI didn't plan it this way, but our corporate worship May 27 as Covenant Community Church turned out to focus in a significant way on esteeming Jesus as our greatest treasure. Our musicians were out of town, so I chose the songs, in addition to leading in worship. I realized at some point -- I think during this time of worship -- that even songs I had not considered in this way were about Christ's supreme value. I thank God the Spirit for His leadership in demonstrating an important part of His ministry -- making much of God the Son.\nFor instance, here are some lines or verses about Jesus' value from the songs our church sang that day:\n-- \u201cFor He alone is worthy, for He alone is worthy, for He alone is worthy, Christ the Lord.\u201d\n-- \u201cOn earth is not His equal\u201d\n-- \u201cLet goods and kindred go, this mortal life also \u2013 the body they may kill; God\u2019s truth abideth still: His kingdom is forever.\u201d\n-- \"I will not boast in anything, no gifts, no power, no wisdom, but I will boast in Jesus Christ, His death and resurrection.\"\n-- \"Lord, You are more precious than silver; Lord, You are more costly than gold; Lord, You are more beautiful than diamonds, and nothing I desire compares with You.\"\n-- \"Give me Jesus; give me Jesus; you can have all this world; you can have all this world; you can have all this world, but give me Jesus.\"\nIt shouldn't be surprising that valuing and treasuring Jesus should be at the heart of our worship as individuals and as a church. The Father has exalted Him to the highest place. We should seek in our worship to follow suit by exalting our Lord and Savior.\nIt seems to me our lives are largely about value. Whom do we value? What do we value? Whatever we value -- or whomever we value -- determines how we live much of our lives. What -- or whom -- we value receives our attention, time and resources. We dwell on in our minds what or whom we truly value. We commit our schedules to what or whom we truly value. We give priority to what we truly value. Other things and other relationships fade in comparison to what we truly value.\nThis concept has deep and wide implications for life. It affects our approach to spending time in God's Word and in prayer. It affects our approach to our church. It affects our approach to our marriage. It affects our approach to parenting, to finances, to work, to school, to friendships, to leisure time, to hobbies, and the list goes on.\nIt also affects our response to temptation, it seems to me. Whatever the temptation -- and gluttony, mindless entertainment, pornography and inappropriate relationships are only some -- it seems treasuring Jesus is an indispensable part of overcoming.\nSo some of the questions that flow from this reality are: Whom -- or what -- do we value supremely? Is Jesus our greatest treasure? If so, is that evaluation on our part reflected in how we live our lives?\nIn about three minutes, D.A. Carson -- author and professor at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in suburban Chicago -- shares in this video interview with Desiring God about overcoming temptation, specifically porn. He comments on the practical, negative aspect but also on the positive aspect of delighting in Jesus.\nMondays are for music: 'Creation Sings the Father's Song'\nKeith and Kristyn Getty have a passion for helping the church worship God in song. Natives of Northern Ireland, they have collaborated often with another great hymn writer, Stuart Townend. The song \"In Christ Alone,\" co-written by Keith Getty and Townend, has been the most popular song in churches for the last six years, according to CCLI. The song in this video -- \"Creation Sings the Father's Song\" -- dwells \"on not just the beauty of God's creation but how all of it points ultimately to Christ and eagerly longs for His return,\" the Gettys wrote in notes for the album \"Awaken the Dawn.\" Kristyn is the vocalist and Keith the pianist. (The video quality is weak, but the audio seems to be fine. It is more difficult than I expected to find quality videos online of some artists and songs.)\n\u201cFor You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in lovingkindness to all who call upon You\u201d (Ps. 86:5). This is the God we \u2013 as His own -- will gather to worship this Sunday. David says He is \u201cgood.\u201d That means everything \u2013 everything \u2013 He does is good. He is perfect in this attribute and all others He possesses \u2013 all at the same time. He is \u201cready to forgive,\u201d David writes. He does not grudgingly forgive. Forgiveness is not something He has to be coaxed into or prodded to present. One reason we know this is because He has gone to supreme lengths to provide forgiveness: He sent His own perfect Son and gave Him into the hands of sinful men to provide the way of forgiveness. David says He is \u201cabundant in lovingkindness to all who call upon\u201d Him. God\u2019s mercy overflows. It is not like a trickle. It is like a flood. He pours out this undeserved favor upon all who trust in Him for it. These are just a few of the truths that will inform our worship as we gather once again as His church. May we respond to Him with the praise, adoration, thanksgiving, humility, submission, trust and love due Him.\nWorshiping as a church: Showing up \u2013 for the durat...\nMondays are for music: 'Satisfied in You' (Psalm 4...\nWhy men are addicted to Internet porn and video ga...\nMondays are for music: 'Creation Sings the Father'...",

        "title": "Revised Mercedes G-class revealed | News Update",
        "raw_content": "Revised Mercedes G-class revealed\nFollowing a premature reveal in the background of a photograph depicting the latest version of the Mercedes-Benz GLK, the firm has now officially lifted the veil on a lightly facelifted Mercedes G-class \u2013 the military grade off-roader that has just entered its 33rd year of production.\nSet to make its public debut at the Beijing motor show later this month, the reworked G-class is planned to go on sale in the UK in June boasting a series of subtle exterior styling tweaks, a new range of engines mated to an updated gearbox, a lightly altered interior and a brace of new electronic driver aids.\nAmong the changes made to the G-class\u2019s classic square rigged exterior is a restyled grille with standard models receiving three prominent slats in place of the older model\u2019s seven slats, new headlamp inserts featuring horizontally mounted LED running light, redesigned mirror housings, altered tail lamp graphics and a new line of alloy wheels.\nAlongside standard G500 and G350 BlueTec models, Mercedes has also introduced a G55 AMG-replacing G63 AMG as well as a rapid G65 AMG performance flagship. All are assembled at Mercedes-Benz partner Magna\u2019s factory in Graz, Austria.\nThe two new AMG models are visually distinguished from their standard siblings by a two-slat grille, a deeper front bumper with larger air ducts, red brake callipers and unique 20-inch wheels. As with the outgoing G55 AMG, the G63 AMG also receives side mounted exhaust pipes that exit from underneath the rear doors on either side.\nBoth of the G-class\u2019s standard engines are retained for the 2012 model year, including the 383bhp naturally aspirated 5.5-litre V8 and 208bhp 3.0-litre V6 common rail diesel in the G500 and G350 BlueTec respectively.\nFurther up the line-up, the 12-year-old G55 AMG\u2019s long running 500bhp supercharged 5.4-litre V8 finally makes way for a 544bhp version of AMG\u2019s contemporary twin-turbocharged 5.5-litre V8 engine in the new G63 AMG.\nThe big news, however, surrounds the addition of a plush new G65 AMG range-topping model to the G-class line-up. It runs an earlier evolution of the twin-turbocharged 6.0-litre V12 engine recently confirmed for the SL65 AMG. With 612bhp, it is described as the most powerful series production four-wheel drive on sale right now.\nThe G65 AMG is the first G-class model to ever receive V12 power but it is unlikely to be officially sold in the UK.\nAll new G-class models also receive Mercedes\u2019 seven-speed 7G-tronic gearbox, with the unit on the G63 AMG benefiting exclusively from stop-start along with brake energy recuperation systems that contribute to a combined average consumption of 20.5mpg \u2013 a 2.7mpg improvement on the outgoing G55 AMG\u2019s 17.8mpg.\nDrive is channelled permanently to all four wheels with a trio of differential locks providing added traction in the rough.\nOther upgrades brought to the G-class is a revised instrument pack brought over from the third-gen M-class together with a colour monitor and Merc\u2019s latest Comand system that incorporates internet based functions.\nFurther options include Mercedes-Benz\u2019s hi-tech Distronic Plus radar controlled cruise control system, Blind Spot Assist and the parking aid Partktronic, which now incorporates a reversing camera. The standard ESP (electronic stability program) has also been revised and now includes Trailer Stability Assist and a hill hold function.\nThe facelifted G-class will continue to be offered with the choice of two different wheelbases: 2400mm in standard guise and 2850mm in long-wheelbase form. The quirky cabriolet is also set to continue, but only in combination with the standard 383bhp 5.5-litre V8 engine as the G500 Cabriolet.",

        "raw_content": "No matter the war. No matter the military branch. No matter the generation. These local veterans are steadfastly proud of their efforts.\nAnd they\u2019re still fighting to keep the focus on those who died in battle \u2013 and the battles still fought by those returning home today.\nPearl Harbor survivor E.J. \u201cChuck\u201d Kohler has made it his mission to commemorate the World War II attack and the people who died there. Each year, the Navy vet speaks at the Mount Diablo beacon lighting ceremony as part of Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day.\n\u201cWhen that beacon light is turned on, that\u2019s a tribute to those individuals that lost their lives at Pearl Harbor,\u201d said Kohler.\nJohn Dreisbach of Concord is disabled due to sarin gas exposure during Desert Storm, yet the Army vet proclaims: \u201cI will continue to try to do what I can to help other veterans.\u201d\nHe joined the Jerry Novakovich Post 1575 Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) to find others who could relate to combat duty. \u201cEven though we served in different locations and experienced different things, the commonalities of war are constant,\u201d he said.\nFormer VFW Post 1575 commander Pete Loechner advocates for veterans in numerous ways. He is a member of the American Legion and Korean War Veterans Association as well as volunteering every Monday at the Veterans Administration clinic in Martinez.\n\u201cAny veterans in the area who have a problem, we help them,\u201d he said. \u201cI just can\u2019t thank the people of Concord and Clayton enough. They are so good to give donations. I\u2019ve never had anybody give us any static \u2013 they just seem to be helpful.\u201d\nWWII vet Wilfred Wilcox founded the Mount Diablo Marine Corps League in 1996. \u201cWe\u2019re involved in community activities, burial ceremonies, parades,\u201d said Wilcox, who also is a VFW member. \u201cI think one of the important parts about a veterans\u2019 group is for vets to meet others like them.\u201d\nSteve Barton calls the VFW \u201cone of the premiere organizations for supporting veterans.\u201d He became a member after the group was instrumental in the presentation of his Bronze Star for service in Vietnam. \u201cAll the money raised goes toward the veterans, and that is something to admire,\u201d he noted.\nAs an owner of the Clayton Club, Barton offers a free drink for vets on Veterans Day and Memorial Day.\n\u201cI ask where they served, but I don\u2019t get too nosy about their experiences unless they want to offer it,\u201d he said. \u201cCombat veterans don\u2019t do a lot of sharing. It has to be the right circumstance.\u201d\nDreisbach and many other vets are struggling to cope with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). \u201cMy PTSD got so bad that my wife left,\u201d he said. \u201cI don\u2019t feel embarrassed to say it \u2013 it\u2019s just what happened.\u201d\nMark Steinberg, the new Concord VFW post commander, suspects he has PTSD but has never sought a diagnosis. \u201cI have anger issues, and it may be related to that,\u201d said Steinberg, a Navy vet from the Vietnam era.\nHe also has health issues that he thinks may be linked to Agent Orange exposure. \u201cI was stationed in Saigon, so my stuff was minor. A lot of veterans who were in combat were much worse.\u201d\nSteinberg is committed to reaching out to younger veterans, including students at Diablo Valley College in Pleasant Hill.\n\u201cWhen I got out and went back to school, you didn\u2019t talk about being a Vietnam veteran in those days. It just wasn\u2019t done,\u201d Steinberg said. \u201cThe goal of Vietnam veterans was to make sure that newer veterans did not have to go through the same things we did.\n\u201cThe younger veterans know what we had to go through and what we\u2019ve done to help them,\u201d he added. \u201cWe\u2019re here to help them get their claims, because they have a lot of medical problems. We also try to help homeless veterans.\u201d\nThese brave men are unwavering in their support of today\u2019s troops \u2013 as well as careers in the military.\n\u201cThe military is where some people perform the best. A lot of people find themselves in the military,\u201d said Wilcox, noting that the Marine Corps taught him about love of country and responsibility. \u201cIt\u2019s been my guide through my life.\u201d\nKohler said a whole new world opened up for him after he enlisted in the Navy at age 17. \u201cI met a number of those who were the kind of person I hoped to be,\u201d he recalled, \u201cand a hell of a lot of examples of the kind of person I would never want to be.\u201d\nLoechner said his father, who emigrated from Germany, always told him how lucky he was to be an American. Although Loechner\u2019s plans to become an air cadet didn\u2019t pan out, he remains passionate about enlisting. \u201cI would tell the young people, listen, if you want a good education, join the Air Force.\u201d\nBarton said he always admired his father for his service in the Battle of the Bulge during WWII. \u201cI felt that it was patriotic to answer the call,\u201d said Barton, who was drafted into the Army.\n\u201cYou\u2019re called to duty, you do your duty.\u201d\nDreisbach calls military service \u201ca complex question\u201d but said he would encourage today\u2019s youth to serve their country. Yet he can\u2019t ignore the toll it took on him: a severe skin condition, short-term memory loss, migraines and now, a failing heart.\n\u201cI was a kinder person, I think, before the war. I know that\u2019s a clich\u00e9,\u201d he reflected. \u201cBut after the war, life was a lot harder. Things weren\u2019t so simple and easy anymore. But I would do it again, knowing that what happened to me is gonna happen.\u201d\nPrevious On laws, sausage and power\nNext City looks at CNWS cleanup \u00adefforts",

        "title": "ICI - ICI Letter on International Tax Matters (to Austria)",
        "raw_content": "By Electronic Delivery\nMs. Judith Herdin-Winter\nInternational Tax Law, Division IV/4\nRE: Treaty Eligibility for RICs under Austria-U.S. Tax Convention\nThank you for the time you spent with me recently discussing collective investment vehicles (\u201cCIVs\u201d) organized in the U.S. as regulated investment companies (\u201cRICs\u201d) and whether RICs are eligible, as entities, for reduced withholding tax rates under the Austria-U.S. income tax convention. It always is a pleasure to see you. This letter follows up on our discussions regarding \u201ctax transparency\u201d and why the Investment Company Institute 1 submits that RICs, as beneficial owners, should not be required to include the attestation of holdings with reclaims filed after 2007.\nAs discussed in my April letter to you (attached), RICs are corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes; RIC investors are not taxed as if they own the RIC\u2019s underlying assets directly. For all of the reasons described in the April letter, RICs are not tax transparent. Among the many differences between the taxation of RIC shareholders and investors in a pass-through vehicle (such as a partnership) are:\nRIC investors are taxed based upon the distributions that they receive \u2013 which are based upon their proportionate interests in the RIC on the date the RIC distributes its income (rather than their interests on the dates that the income is received by the RIC); investors in pass-through vehicles, in contrast, effectively are taxed based upon their proportionate interests on the date the income is received, because (unlike RIC shareholders) investors in pass-through vehicles are treated as owning directly their proportionate interests in the underlying assets;\nall income distributed by a RIC to its shareholders is taxable as a corporate dividend except to the extent that a specific provision of Subchapter M of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code provides for character retention; in contrast, the tax character of income is retained in the hands of investors in pass-through vehicles;\nall RIC income not distributed is taxed at the entity level; in contrast, pass-through vehicles\u2019 income never is taxed at the vehicle level;\nRICs cannot flow through net operating losses nor net capital losses to their shareholders; in contrast, these losses always flow through pass-through vehicles to their investors;\nAll of these differences, the Institute submits, are attributable to the different legal rights of the investors in these different investment vehicles. RIC investors, for the reasons discussed above, simply are not the beneficial owners of a RIC\u2019s income; the RIC itself is the beneficial owner.\nTwo foreign tax credit considerations provide further support for treating the RIC as the beneficial owner of its income. The first consideration involves the different conditions under which a foreign tax credit is available to investors in RICs compared to investors in pass-through vehicles. The second consideration involves the differences in how the foreign tax credit rules are applied to RIC shareholders depending on whether or not they are U.S. residents.\nNo RIC shareholder has any possibility of claiming a foreign tax credit on the RIC\u2019s income unless two conditions are satisfied. First, under Subchapter M, a RIC must hold more than half of its assets in the stock or securities of foreign corporations to be eligible to flow through the foreign tax credit. If the RIC is ineligible, it deducts the foreign taxes as an expense in determining its distributable income. Second, if the RIC is eligible to flow through the credit, it must elect to do so; if the election is not made, the RIC deducts the foreign taxes as an expense.\nInvestors in pass-through vehicles, in contrast, may claim the foreign tax credit without regard to the pass-through vehicles\u2019 holdings or elections. U.S. residents investing in pass-through vehicles always may claim credits for foreign taxes paid on income received by the pass-through vehicle. Foreign investors likewise should be entitled to claim foreign tax credits in their residence countries on non-U.S. withholding taxes paid on the foreign income received by the pass-through vehicle; so long as the investor\u2019s country of residence treats the U.S. pass-through vehicle as tax transparent (as the pass-through vehicle is treated for U.S. tax purposes), the foreign taxes should be treated as paid directly by the investor in the pass-through vehicle and creditable as such.\nThe second consideration \u2013 the treatment of RIC shareholders who are U.S. residents and those shareholders who are not \u2013 further supports the position that the RIC beneficially owns its income. Specifically, as illustrated below, a RIC shareholder eligible to claim a credit for foreign taxes paid by the RIC will be deemed to have additional taxable income equal to the amount of the creditable taxes allocated to that shareholder. A RIC shareholder who is neither a citizen nor resident of the U.S. is not treated as having any additional taxable income and is not provided a credit against U.S. withholding tax for the foreign taxes paid by the RIC.\nTo illustrate, assume a RIC that invests only in foreign securities all of which pay dividends subject to foreign withholding taxes at a 15 percent rate. Further assume two RIC shareholders who each receive a cash dividend of $85 on their proportionate interest in the RIC on the date that it distributes its income for the year. If the RIC elects to flow through the foreign tax credit, the first shareholder (a U. S. resident) will be treated as having received $100 of income (the $85 cash dividend and an additional deemed distribution of $15, which is equal to the amount of creditable foreign taxes allocated to that shareholder based upon the shares held on the date the RIC distributes its income). Thus, the U.S. resident shareholder effectively gets the \u201cbenefit\u201d of the foreign taxes paid by the RIC because the foreign taxes paid will offset the shareholder\u2019s U.S. tax liability on a dollar-for-dollar basis.\nThe second shareholder (the foreign nonresident) receives only $85; U.S. withholding tax is imposed upon this amount. The only credit for foreign taxes that a foreign shareholder in a RIC may claim is a credit in the shareholder\u2019s residence country for the U.S. withholding tax on the amount actually distributed by the RIC ($85 in this example).\nFor the reasons discussed above and explained in more detail in my April letter to you, the ICI submits that a RIC is the beneficial owner of its income. Consequently, RICs should not be required to complete the attestation of holdings to receive the benefits of the Austria-U.S. income tax convention.\nIf I can provide you with additional information regarding the taxation of RICs, or any related matter, please do not hesitate to contact me at 001-202-326-5832 or lawson@ici.org. Thank you again, Judith, for the thoughtful consideration you have given already to this request. I look forward to speaking with you again soon.\nSenior Counsel \u2013 Tax Law\nBarry Shott",

Out of the predicted sales over the next few years, smartwatches are expected to be responsible for 68 million compared to 50 million from fitness trackers. It\u2019s already claimed that 1 in 4 people are using an app or device of some sort to measure their fitness level or performance.\nThis is quite a dramatic increase that will see fitness wearable\u2019s become an extremely lucrative market and with the high profile releases recently like the Apple iWatch, I suppose it comes as no surprise.",

Photography and film are also huge influences, however, ultimately I find inspiration in a variety of forms \u2013 ranging from architecture and interiors to nature & travel.\nGenerally speaking I\u2019m a slave to Apple and Adobe. Although when it comes to conceptualizing and wire framing you can\u2019t go wrong with a sketchbook and pen. I\u2019m a firm believer in removing yourself from the digital realm as often as possible and experimenting with alternative mediums\u2026this is where the real creativity begins.\nI\u2019m most productive when I\u2019m outside and enjoying nature. Although not always viable, I do my best to work from alternative environments as much as possible \u2013 an office atmosphere gets old pretty quick. I also think it\u2019s important that I\u2019m surrounded by like-minded creatives as often as possible. Collaboration is key.",

        "raw_content": "analysis, exercises & tips, opinion\nEven after 11 years of dancing contact improvisation, every now and then I still feel like I\u2019m on the outside \u2014 like there\u2019s a group of people that I\u2019m not a part of, and don\u2019t know how to become part of. I\u2019m not even sure that I want to be part of that group. But nevertheless feel like I\u2019m excluded from that group can make me feel lonely, sad, rejected, frustrated, or confused. It\u2019s not even one particular group all of the time \u2014 just sometimes, I don\u2019t feel like I\u2019m being accepted by whom I want to accept me, in the way I want to be accepted. Whatever that is!\nI think this feeling can sometimes be exacerbated by certain aspects of our community. Contact improvisation provides a great sense of intimacy and connection, but that connection isn\u2019t necessarily always mutual, or even when it is, it doesn\u2019t necessarily extend to intimacy and connection off of the dance floor. Our community is open and accepting, but that openness and acceptance doesn\u2019t necessarily become friendship or closeness. We touch each other, frequently and publicly, and when you walk into a room of people lounging on top of each other, and don\u2019t find yourself immediately invited to join, you may feel it hard to get in, and find an increased sense of being out.\nThere is a lot to say on this subject, but the main advice I can give to those feeling out is this: it is normal. It is so, incredibly normal, that it happens to everyone, or at least everyone who is still taking social risks, and it will keep happening to you throughout your contact life, as long as you go to a jam without knowing who will show up. When it gets too much, it\u2019s totally okay just to take a break, or give yourself permission to feel sad/angry/upset/lonely/confused/hopeless/helpless. Or you can see what happens if you just try a little more \u2014 try one more dance, try one more connection, go to one more jam. But I know folks who have been dancing 7, 10, 20 years who still feel and encounter this. I think it\u2019s actually pretty healthy \u2014 it\u2019s a sign that you care about connecting, and a sign that you\u2019re pushing yourself to connect with new or different people.\nTo those who are not feeling out, I\u2019d like to say this: every now and then, look around to see if someone is feeling out, and think about what kind of contact community you want. You have no obligation to try to integrate someone feeling left out into the contact community \u2014 but you may have an interest in having your contact community being one that is inviting, welcoming, interesting, diverse, growing, etc. The typical response is something like, \u201cI spend so much time taking care of other dancers, or my local contact community, or my kids, or my career priorities, or my personal situation of some sort, that I want to just come to the jam and dance. Why do I have to \u2018take care\u2019 of someone? I don\u2019t have the energy/time/patience for that.\u201d I think that it\u2019s important to give time for yourself, to address your needs and your desires. And I think that you may realize that having a certain kind of contact community is part of your needs and desires, and that helping/including someone can help feed those needs and desires. Maybe. Not all the time, but maybe here and there.\nOne more piece of advice for people feeling out \u2014 try to find a way to talk about it. Maybe particularly with another contact dancer at the same event. It usually helps.\nTags: Earthdance In and Out multi-day jams\n\u2190 CQ back issues on sale through Jan. 1, 2014\nUnicorns, or why this picture moves me \u2192\n1 comment for \u201cIn and Out\u201d\nThat pretty much described how I felt at This New Year\u2019s Jam at Earthdance.It is funny to see this article been written before the event.

        "title": "CONVERSABLE ECONOMIST: Venting about the Helium Market",
        "raw_content": "The US Department of the Interior has identified a list of 35 \"critical minerals,\" which is \"a mineral identified to be a non-fuel mineral or mineral material essential to the economic and national security of the United States, the supply chain of which is vulnerable to disruption, and that serves an essential function in the manufacturing of a product, the absence of which would have significant consequences for the economy or national security.\"\nI'm constitutionally skeptical of such lists. It often seems that when supplies of a \"critical\" mineral decline and price rises, there is a short-term spike in articles talking about a \"crisis.\" But then the market responds to the higher price with a mixture of finding new sources, increased recycling, or finding ways to substitute for that mineral in a substantial number of uses. Life goes on. As one example, here's my write-up of \"The Rare Earths Shortage: A Crisis with a Supply and Demand Answer\" (March 10, 2015). Yes, rare earths remain on this \"critical minerals\" list. Another entry on the critical minerals list is aluminum, and I have previously discussed \"The National Security Argument for Steel and Aluminum Tariffs\" (March 7, 2018).\nI can't claim to have looked at all 35 items on the critical minerals list, but one that does perplex me is the quite peculiar market for helium. Stephen T. Anderson lays out the background in \"Economics, Helium, and the U.S. Federal Helium Reserve:Summary and Outlook,\" which appears in Natural Resources Research (December 5, 2017). Here is his quick summary of the peculiarities of the helium market from the abstract:\n\"In 2017, disruptions in the global supply of helium reminded consumers, distributors, and policy makers that the global helium supply chain lacks flexibility, and that attempts to increase production from the U.S. Federal Helium Reserve (the FHR) may not be able to compensate for the loss of one of the few major producers in the world. Issues with U.S. and global markets for helium include inelastic demand, economic availability of helium only as a byproduct, only 4\u20135 major producers, helium's propensity to escape earth's crust, an ongoing absence of storage facilities comparable to the FHR, and a lack of consequences for the venting of helium. The complex combination of these economic, physical, and regulatory issues is unique to helium, and determining helium's practical availability goes far beyond estimating the technically accessible volume of underground resources.\"\nThese issues are not new. Back in 2008, for example, Science Daily was reporting \"Helium Supplies Endangered, Threatening Science And Technology\" (January 5, 2008). In 2010, Nobel prize-winner in physics Robert Richardson, who shared the prize \"for their discovery of superfluidity in helium-3,\" was giving speeches which ran under headlines like \"The world is running out of helium: Nobel prize winner,\" (Phys.org, August 24, 2010)\nIn 2012, William J. Nuttall, Richard H. Clarke and Bartek A. Glowacki were discussing the problem in Nature magazine (\"Resources: Stop squandering helium,\" (May 31, 2012, pp. 573-575). Helium is trapped in certain (not all) natural gas fields, but natural gas is a $1 trillion per year industry and helium is a $1 billion per year industry. As a result, natural gas producers often ignore helium and let it vent away as a waste product. Once the helium is in the atmosphere, it isn't recoverable at reasonable cost.\nThey point out that, for a time, the US government was a main producer and consumer of helium. In the 1920s, the government designated a natural underground dome near Amarillo, Texas, as the site for a helium reserve. Starting in the 1960s, the US government greatly expanded the reserve. It provided some additional certainty in the market: helium producers knew that they had a place to sell, and helium consumers knew they had a place to buy. Nuttall, Clarke, and Glowacki provide this chart showing how helium production ramped up in the 1960s to fill the reserve. They also show in recwent years that the reserve is being drawn down in the aftermath of a 1996 law, which is why shipments have exceeded production in the last couple of decades. They argue that it is time for an international helium reserve.\nIn July 2015, Wired magazine was pointing out that helium prices have been rising since 2000, and it was all the government's fault for trying to sell off and privatize the helium reserve (The Feds Created a Helium Problem That's Screwing Science,\" by Sarah Zhang, July 15, 2015). However, less than a year later in July 2016, Wired was reporting \"That Dire Helium Shortage? Vastly Inflated\" (by Brendan Cole, June 29, 2016). Partly, this was because of a discovery of huge helium deposits in an area of Tanzania. In addition, the point is made that when helium prices rise, places where natural gas production is relatively rich in helium--like Qatar--will have an incentive to extract it.\nWhich sounded OK until July 2017, when as Steven Anderson note: \"On June 5, 2017, neighboring countries initiated a trade embargo of Qatar, which had accounted for approximately 32% of the global helium supply prior to the blockade ...\" Overall, as Anderson notes:\n\"Helium is an exhaustible natural resource for which there are limited or no substitutes including for its use as a coolant in military aircraft, certain types of nuclear reactors; the manufacture of optical fiber and semiconductors; providing low enough temperatures for superconducting magnets; enabling modern magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technologies to operate; other cryogenic applications; and in other applications (Cai et al. 2012). Because of its unique properties, helium is expected to continue to be essential in\nenabling the development of such critical technologies in the future ...\n\"The American Physical Society and Materials Research Society (2011) recommended that the United States should maintain a nondefense stockpile of helium, but not of any of the 13 other energy critical elements (ECEs) that they identified. They suggested that helium is unique even in comparison with other ECEs, because it is unlikely that any economic source of helium besides natural gas will be found, helium is often vented into the atmosphere during the production and consumption of natural gas, and natural gas production (without separation of helium) and consumption is likely to continue to increase. Since then, natural gas production and consumption in the country has increased, but that has been mostly owing to increases in the production of shale gas, which may not have any significant helium content.\"\nAt present, US policy under the Helium Stewardship Act of 2013 is to sell the reserves, but as Anderson reviews the limited academic research, it's clear that helium policy is on shaky ground. For example, it might make sense to allow the helium reserve to be privatized as a profit-making facility. It might make sense for the US government to hold a larger reserve. If it's really difficult to find substitutes for helium, which seems possible, and if there cold be important and as-yet-discovered uses for helium in the future, we might wish to encourage natural gas producers to produce and save helium now, rather than being so quick to vent it into the air. The very limited number of US producers, and the fact that some of the main international producers are in not-always-reliable places like Russia and Qatar, complicates the issue. Orr perhaps we need to push research on finding cost-effective ways to extracting helium from the atmosphere, as a backstop if helium prices rise dramatically.\nAs Anderson notes, helium is a peculiar market where concentrated economic analysis might bring real insights. As the King says repeatedly in the old Rogers and Hammerstein musical, \"The King and I\": \"It's a puzzlement.\"\nFollow-up: Tim Worstall offers a useful perspective on how the rise of liquid natural gas production could be intertwined with the production of more helium.",

        "raw_content": "Along with many other \u201ctrendy\u201d supplements, collagen (usually in the form of a powder or bone broth) has been popping up along shelves everywhere over the last year or so. And while you might not have heard the word \u201ccollagen\u201d before seeing it in the supplements aisle, you\u2019re actually very familiar with it, because collagen is the most abundant structural protein in your body. Found in skin and other connective tissues like ligaments and tendons, collagen makes up about 1/3 of the protein in the human body. But before throwing that box of bone broth in your shopping cart, let\u2019s take a closer look to see if this supplement could help improve your health and wellbeing.\n\u201cCollagen fibers start to break down in our early to mid twenties, so the idea behind taking dietary collagen supplements is that it could help repair our bone matrix and joint surfaces.\u201d\nWhile it might seem like a trend, collagen supplements actually date back to 1981, when the FDA approved bovine collagen to be used for cosmetic injection. For decades, collagen has been used to smooth wrinkles and improve things like skin complexion and hair health. And its proven to be very good at doing this job, but how did we transition to using collagen as a dietary supplement? Lately, improvements in technology have allowed production of ingestible forms of collagen supplementation like powders and bone broths, which have their roots in Chinese medicine dating back over 2,500 years.\nCollagen fibers start to break down in our early to mid twenties, so the idea behind taking dietary collagen supplements is that it could help repair our bone matrix and joint surfaces. This might prevent some musculoskeletal issues that are common with aging. If you\u2019ve ever had achy knees, this might sound like a worthwhile investment. However, it\u2019s not quite that simple. Collagen is a protein that is produced from a long and complicated chain of reactions that happen within the body. When we consume collagen in its pure form, digestion breaks it down into its individual amino acids, so there is no guarantee that it will actually end up being built back up into collagen proteins. Therefore, collagen supplements are most likely not any more effective than consuming adequate amounts of protein that can also supply the essential amino acids necessary to allow our bodies to produce collagen.\nFurther, when taking a look at the research, there are few if any studies that have even looked at, let alone supported, the idea that collagen supplements can have an effect on musculoskeletal health. And as with all supplements, keep in mind that the FDA does not require that supplements be effective or have accurate labels to be put on shelves, they only have to prove they don\u2019t do any harm.\nDon\u2019t worry though, all is not lost in the battle to keep our skeletons happy and healthy, because there are a variety of foods that have been proven to boost collagen production within our bodies; including red, orange, and dark green vegetables, berries, fish, citrus, lean proteins (egg, nuts, etc.), white tea, and garlic. Ensuring that we\u2019re eating these foods and getting sufficient amounts of other vitamins that support bone and joint health like vitamin D and calcium may be a better first step than jumping on the collagen bandwagon. However, if you have dietary restrictions or struggle to eat enough protein throughout the day, collagen supplements might be a good choice for you, just know that they\u2019re not the only option and make sure to do your research first.

Dale Righter (R-Mattoon) voted in support of Senate Bill 2039 Dec. 7, legislation that releases the state\u2019s portion of the motor fuel tax (MFT) money and includes funding for 911 call centers, fire prevention, veterans\u2019 homes, lottery winners, payment of utility bills, and other programs..\n\u201cWith the winter season upon us, it\u2019s imperative our local governments have this funding so they can purchase enough road salt and fix roadways so our citizens remain safe,\u201d Righter said. \u201cThis bi-partisan compromise is a step toward ultimately fixing our state\u2019s finances, passing a balanced budget, and moving Illinois forward.\u201d\nThe state currently owes the city of Marshall thousands of dollars in unpaid utility bills for Illinois Department of Transportation facilities. In October, Marshall threatened to shut off power to these facilities unless the state paid up. In SB 2039, there is millions of dollars allocated for utility costs for state buildings and other services across Illinois.\n\u201cThese are badly needed funds the city of Marshall and other local governments are rightfully owed,\u201d Righter said. \u201cIt\u2019s about time the state pay up. I want to stress, originally, House Speaker Michael Madigan didn\u2019t want this legislation to go through. However, this legislation is proof that political pressure can work, as constituents voiced their concerns in large numbers. That\u2019s the best formula that can work to solve the state\u2019s overall budget impasse going forward.\u201d\nFunding for police training services, nursing home licensing and inspections, and the state portion of the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) is also included in this legislation.\nSB 2039 now heads to Governor Rauner.",

        "raw_content": "Confederate Monument in Pioneer Park Photo courtesy of Oz's Travels\nThis week's city news was dominated by two hot topics that have generated loads of controversy, and that's not likely to change any time soon.\nThe city of Dallas is considering a plan of action regarding the juvenile curfew, which expired in mid-January after 28 years on the books. The first of two public hearings took place on February 6, when the Dallas City Council heard more than one hour of comments from residents, ministers, lawmakers, youth group representatives, and the ACLU \u2014 the majority of which were opposed to reinstating it.\nSome said that the curfew can help kids, but Rev. Rachel Baughman with Faith Forward Dallas said she was opposed because the curfew affects people of color.\n\"Evidence demonstrates that the curfew does not impact crime rates in our community, nor does it benefit youth safety, but instead contributes to the troubling pattern of disproportionate policing in communities of color and fuels the school to prison pipeline,\" she said.\nLauren Elaine Brown with the ACLU of Texas said that the city faced potential action because curfews are not legal.\nThe final public hearing curfew is on February 13 at 6 pm, at Park in the Woods Recreation Center, 6801 Mountain Creek Pkwy.\nDixieland decisions\nDallas continues to wrestle with how to deal with Confederate statuary with the latest dilemma being what to do about the Confederate Monument, a towering, 65-foot monument in Pioneer Cemetery.\nOn February 6, the Office of Cultural Affairs presented three options to the City Council: take it down, leave it alone, or reimagine the thing to provide racial and civil rights context.\nThe monument consists of five Confederate statues of Stonewall Jackson, Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, Joseph Johnston and a soldier.\nIt was originally erected in 1897 in Old City Park and was relocated to Pioneer Cemetery in 1961. Pioneer Cemetery is a Dallas Landmark, and the city Landmark Commission would have to approve a demolition.\nMayor Pro Tem Casey Thomas and council members Kevin Felder, Tennell Atkins, Phillip Kingston, Omar Narvaez, Carolyn King Arnold, Mark Clayton, and Lee Kleinman all recommended removing the Confederate art.\nRemoval is projected to cost a $500,000 and could take nearly six months of approvals before any work could get started. It would be disassembled and stored out of view of the public.\nIf Landmark denies City Council's request, city staff would appeal to the City Plan Commission. If the City Plan Commission says no, then city would then sue both commissions to get a demolition. That process would take between three and six months.\nPhilip Kingston proposed bypassing all that process by first writing an ordinance to remove the red-tape process, and then vote to take down the statues.\nOutgoing Council member Ricky Callahan was the lone voice for preserving the monument, saying that \"it's a feel-good gesture to right the wrongs of the past,\" to put it to a referendum.\nThat's exactly what State Senator Pat Fallon (R) of Prosper is proposing in a bill before the Texas Legislature this session. His bill would require cities and other government bodies to put changes to monuments and memorials to a public vote and would add other measures to preserve Confederate and other memorials.\nThe City Council is expected to vote on the future of the monument and will need at least an eight-vote majority to proceed.",

        "title": "Tumblr, SEO, and Why I Moved To WordPress | Dan Zambonini",
        "raw_content": "A number of people have asked about, or questioned my SEO-influenced move from Tumblr to (self hosted) WordPress for this blog. A lot of people know a little about SEO, which has caused a number of, \u201cIt\u2019s not Tumblr, you just haven\u2019t configured it; just edit the template\u201d style responses, which I\u2019ve seen repeated elsewhere on the web too. I\u2019m writing this post to dispel those myths; deep down, Tumblr is currently pretty limited for good SEO.\nI should first qualify that I think Tumblr is amazing \u2013 from the minute I started using it, I became an advocate. And I still am. A lot of people use Tumblr for many good reasons, and it\u2019s the perfect product for them. Tumblr is not meant to be a WordPress competitor, it\u2019s a very different thing: the simplicity and underlying social principles give it a different feel to standard blogging platforms.\nUnfortunately, a standard blogging platform is what I need. Simplicity isn\u2019t at the top of my list, and I get my social connection fixes elsewhere. I need flexibility and power, and don\u2019t mind paying the price of tweaking time and expertise to get there.\nI\u2019ve been increasingly suspicious of Tumblr SEO qualities over the last 6 months. Of all the blogs I run, most of them are on WordPress (e.g. The Januarist, Amorphous Blog, Contentini), and a few are on Tumblr (including, previously, this one).\nI launched my personal site on Tumblr just over a year ago; The Januarist about 8 months ago; Amorphous Blog about 2 months ago; Contentini about a week ago. Page ranks are: Contentini (0), Amorphous Blog (0) \u2013 both because they are too new to be assigned one \u2013 The Januarist (4) and my blog domain (5). Even though my personal domain has a pretty good pagerank (5) and is fairly old, I\u2019d rarely get any search traffic that didn\u2019t include my name. Maybe a couple of referrals a day. The Januarist, on the other hand \u2013 with less Page Rank, a newer domain, and less content \u2013 gets 30-40 search engine referrals on a bad day, for a wide variety of search phrases. Even the incredibly new Contentini and Amorphous Blog get more search engine traffic than my personal (higher ranking, more content) blog.\nNot that search engine traffic is my top priority, but if you\u2019re investing time writing posts and trying to make your way in the world of web professionals, it makes sense to optimize the traffic you get from any source. On (very rare) occasion, I\u2019ll write something that I think is fairly important or interesting, and it would be good to know that relevant people are finding and reading it. Currently, most are not.\nSo anyway, on to some specific reasons. I\u2019ve started to set up a test Tumblr site for this, using a tweaked default template (I tried searching for SEO optimized Tumblr themes, but couldn\u2019t find any).\nPage title <title> is the most important element of the page for on-page SEO, and Tumblr just doesn\u2019t cut it. No matter how many tweaks you read and try, the lack of flexibility really lets it down. Sure, you can put your post title first, and if you really try (and you really do have to), get unique page titles for paginated archive pages. But I want a unique, descriptive page title for my home page \u2013 can I do that? I don\u2019t know, but I can\u2019t find a way of doing it. What if I want to include my blog title at the end of all pages EXCEPT individual blog posts? Again, not sure if I can do that, but it\u2019s certainly not easy. Or include a different postfix to the title depending on the category/tag of post? I don\u2019t necessarily want to do that last one, but at some point, I might. And it would be nice to have a counter that displayed as you were approaching the 60/64/66 character limit that most SEO people use for titles. For WordPress, install the \u201cAll in One SEO\u201d plugin, and the world is your oyster.\nSimilarly for meta description. OK, so this isn\u2019t particularly important for SEO, but it would be nice to have SOME kind of flexibility if you did want to use it in earnest. I know, you can put some summary blurb in there and that kind of thing, but there\u2019s no way of explicitly defining it per post/page/whatever.\nURLs: there\u2019s no flexibility over the structure of URLs. This may be subtle, but I don\u2019t want my title to come after some random ID number in the URL. Even if it only has a minuscule affect on ranking, it may have a bigger impact on SERP (Search Engine Results Page) click through rates (based on both the perception of the user, and the length of URL displayed by Google before cut-off).\nH1. After the page title, the <h1> is probably next on the priority list for SEO. I think it\u2019s terrible that the default Tumblr template doesn\u2019t mark-up post titles as headings, not just from an SEO perspective but from an accessibility (structure of the page) angle too. Sure, you can change it, but shouldn\u2019t that be default? There\u2019s no excuse. Anyway \u2013 have you tried creating a \u201cPhoto\u201d post in Tumblr? You don\u2019t have an option to set a title (and therefore <h1>) for it! You may say, \u201cWell, just use the Text type\u201d \u2013 but then you miss out on the specific photo functionality. And\u2026\nImage alt attributes. Again, this is an accessibility as well as an SEO issue. By Tumblr allowing easily preventable accessibility issues to prevail, they are potentially promoting the creation of illegal websites (at least, in the US and UK, and I\u2019d imagine in many other countries too). When you\u2019re in a \u201cText\u201d post and you use the \u201c+ Upload a photo\u201d option (which you have to, to upload a photo from your computer), it will upload and insert the image without prompting you for alt text. You have to remember to then highlight the image, and click the depressed \u201cImage\u201d button in the WYSIWYG in order to assign it some text (or alternatively, edit the HTML). Why should you have to remember to do this each time? Alt text is a necessity, not an option, in terms of accessibility.\nInter-page linking. It\u2019s important, in terms of SEO, to ensure you have an excellent internal linking structure for your content. Tumblr makes it difficult (again, as far as I can tell \u2013 let me know if I\u2019ve missed something) for you to create \u2018related\u2019 pages between posts, automatically display relevant/recent posts (e.g. in the sidebar), etc.\nNative comments. Here\u2019s a sentence full of cliches for you: User Generated Content (UGC) is a great way to get some long-tail keywords and phrases into your blog. In other words, as comments build up on your page, the amount of indexable content is also building up, helping your SEO (in most cases). Tumblr has limited capabilities for comments and other UGC (integrating Disqus \u2013 because it is javascript based \u2013 is not so great for indexable on-page SEO content).\nMiscellaneous tweaks. As you get more heavily into SEO, you want to start playing with PageRank sculpting, adding noindex/nofollow to certain pages/links, and other techniques, which Tumblr makes difficult (at least, more clumsy than simply downloading a plugin for WordPress).\nSo there you have some of the reasoning. To reiterate: I like Tumblr, and don\u2019t think it should integrate advanced SEO features (except where they need to make some simple changes for accessibility reasons) \u2013 it needs to retain the simplicity that makes it successful. But if SEO is particularly important to you, look elsewhere.\n7 Responses to \u201c Tumblr, SEO, and Why I Moved To WordPress \u201d\nbaltimore seo on June 3, 2010 at 2:26 am\nThe days of appealing to the search engines by \u201ckeyword stuffing\u201d your webpage are long gone, but you should still ensure that your keywords appear a few times in the course of your page. I recommend somewhere between a 1% and 4% keyword density. Don\u2019t go any higher than this, or your site will look like a spam site to the search engines, and may be penalized.\nTumblr vs Wordpress SEO, Revisited: The Aftermath on June 15, 2010 at 1:28 am\n[\u2026] Almost four weeks ago, I switch my personal blog (this very one) from Tumblr to WordPress, because I didn\u2019t think Tumblr was particularly versatile or good for SEO. [\u2026]\nRobin Brown on December 9, 2010 at 11:28 am\nThere\u2019s no question in my mind about Tumblr\u2019s uselessness for SEO purposes. Google just seems to ignore my Tumblr blogs, despite any tweaking, whereas I can get a WP blog up to PR4 in very little time. It\u2019s the traffic too, though, Google just doesn\u2019t seem to send any traffic to Tumblr.\nHaving said this, like you, I like the concept and some of the functionality of Tumblr. Ho hum.\nBill Addison on January 30, 2011 at 7:50 pm\nI arrived here on a search for \u201cTumblr SEO\u201d. I also had the same hunch that Tumblr blogs have no SEO juice, at least not on default settings. I was really interested in starting a Tumblr blog due to the simplicity, but then realised that I\u2019ve never landed, not once, at a Tumblr blog via search. Same goes for the others like Posterous.\nGoogle Traffic on October 27, 2011 at 5:24 pm\nI had the same experience. I had a bunch of blogs on Tumblr, one of the about stock picks and Google never visited the site and never indexed the content. Tooks weeks if not months for a post to show up in the index at all. But in Blogger \u2013 with an hour on a brand new blog.\nI think it\u2019s because of the way you can link content in Tumblr. The structure is too easy to abuse. You can see it on Tumblr pages that have a high page rank, you\u2019ll see 3000+ likes with names like \u201creal estate website\u201d as the like.\nPrakruthi on February 10, 2012 at 7:17 am\nWe are doing the same today.. Shifting from Tumblr to WordPress today. Hopefully Google responds better to this now!\nHelldunkel on March 23, 2012 at 10:39 pm\nI\u2019m having the same issue, I started my blog and there is still at this point 0 reference on google\u2026",

        "raw_content": "I get this question.\nNot like get it from other people, I mean like; \u201cI get it\u201d. I understand where it\u2019s coming from. I might have even asked this same question at one time.\nHowever I do know there is a difference between advertising and marketing, and I also know why chiropractors would think if you\u2019re running a few chiropractic ads, then you are also marketing.\nOn the other hand there are those who know there is a difference between the two, but maybe feel intimated by the \u201cmarketing\u201d word.\nLet\u2019s face it, we are chiropractors and that\u2019s the profession we are trained in, not marketing. So for a chiropractor to know how to effectively market his or her practice would be about as ridiculous as a person with a degree in marketing setting up a practice and offering chiropractic care to the public. In reality, that can\u2019t or should not happen, but it\u2019s also a reality that chiropractors need to learn the art of marketing so they can build a successful business.\nI\u2019m not claiming to be an expert, but I want chiropractors to understand the difference and reassure them that they don\u2019t need to be intimated when it comes to marketing. It\u2019s really pretty easy, once you get the hang of it.\nSince I like a good story, I\u2019m going to use one to try and explain how advertising and marketing are different and why you need to do both to help build your practice.\nThere is a private school in town that teaches graded K thru 12. This school offers sports to the higher grades. They have a football team, cheerleaders a band and a drill team. I\u2019m assuming the attendance at the games might have been low, and at some point, somebody must have asked how they could increase the numbers. Higher attendance equals more revenue for the school.\nThey could have advertised, but that would mean spending money on advertising and to who? The parents of the student body? That wouldn\u2019t be prudent since they were probably already aware of the games from newsletters and parent meetings.\nShould they advertise to the general public?\nThey could but why would anyone, who didn\u2019t have a child at this school, want to attend one of their football games? Even though these students would supply entertainment for the crowd, there just wasn\u2019t any demand from the general public. They couldn\u2019t expect to receive a good return on their investment.\nThis is where marketing comes in. It turns out some of these students involved in these sports, needed volunteer credits.\nSo somebody came up with a idea and a committee was formed to help plan and facilitate a cheer camp for the girl students in the younger grades. The cheerleaders and drill team would volunteer their time and earn volunteer credits by teaching the camp participants a few cheers, dance moves. Pom-poms, t-shirts and lunch were provided and the cost of this day camp was $50. The camp was held on a Saturday from 8am to 2pm.\nNow I know that they didn\u2019t clear $50 on each camper. I\u2019m sure there was a some overhead for lunch and props, but those things could have been donated as was time of the volunteers. Even so, if the school invested $15 for supplies and lunch the school\u2019s profit was $35 per camper. Wow, that\u2019s a ROI of 233%!\nBut that\u2019s not all, 40 campers registered and they were given the opportunity to preform during half time at the next game. This meant moms and dads, brothers, sisters and maybe even grandparents would be purchasing tickets to the game so they could see their little cheerleaders show off what they learned at camp.\nThere\u2019s more, there were concessions and who doesn\u2019t love to eat while watching a sporting event?\nWhat that school did, that was great marketing. Preparing and providing the opportunity to get a service from a business in return for a fee and setting in motion a way to receive residual earnings after the fact. You experience this at concerts when you pay to see your favorite band and then buy the t- shirt or CD on your way out the door. Except those businesses go one step further and turn their fans into walking advertisements when they wear the clothing with their logo on it. (logo = brand = marketing)\nYou might be asking; \u201cgreat story, but isn\u2019t that advertising?\u201d Nope, but advertising did happen as part of the school\u2019s marketing plan at some point. I\u2019ll have to cover that on my next post.\nWrapping up\u2026marketing is a process. It\u2019s preparing your chiropractic business for your targeted audience, this would include getting condition specific chiropractic ads ready for the patients you want to see in your office. It\u2019s this preparation that will ultimately attract potential patients to your office.\ndrbeck2014-11-21T19:04:26+00:00Categories: Chiropractic Marketing, Uncategorized|Tags: Chiropractic Marketing, roi|Comments Off on Isn\u2019t Chiropractic Advertising the Same as Chiropractic Marketing?",

        "raw_content": "George Lucas created a pretty big world in Star Wars. A world we\u2019ve seen some pretty small \u201cofficial\u201d glimpses of, but Disney took over and stepped up those glimpses tenfold, and then some. But one thing we\u2019ve seen in even smaller doses is the glimpse of that grey area of war that comes with the nature of the beast. There is good in bad and bad in good. Always. The bad guys never see themselves as bad guys, and the good guys are fighting \u2013 and killing \u2013 in the name of their cause. Rogue One is the first Star Wars film to address this head on, and do a wonderful job of it. In fact, I can\u2019t think of any other film that does it this well\u2026not off the top of my head anyway.\nJust a head\u2019s up, there\u2019s a spoiler here. At least one. So if you\u2019re bothered by that, I\u2019d stop reading after this sentence. But if you haven\u2019t seen the newest Star Wars movie yet, you\u2019re not a big enough fan to be worried about that, honestly. Two weeks to see one film, when in the past we\u2019ve waited decades for another glimpse into the Star Wars Universe\u2026you probably won\u2019t be bothered. Also, pretty much all the characters from this movie are dead now, so it won\u2019t really matter in the long run anyway. Oh yeah, that\u2019s the spoiler\u2026the first one.\nRogue One follows a rogue band of Rebels stealing the Death Star plans from an Imperial Base, which leads directly into the beginning moments of A New Hope. Literally.\nThe whole thing seems like an unnecessary story to tell. We don\u2019t need the info, really. Plans came into the hands of the Rebels, and that\u2019s all we needed to get the original trilogy started. Everything worked fine that way. All except the \u201cflaw\u201d in the Death Star exhaust port, which has been the butt of jokes for decades now\u2026\nRogue One gives us a great answer for the Death Star\u2019s crushing weakness \u2013 in a way that I hadn\u2019t thought about, but never really bothered to, either \u2013 but it gives us much more than that. We get to see that sometimes tough to think about, grey area of wartime in a very real way. In a way relatable to the galaxy of the characters we know, or any other galaxy as well.\nSo let\u2019s start with this: Cassian Andor is one of the strongest characters in the Star Wars lore \u2013 and possibly one of the best wartime characters, in general. The first thing we see of Cassian is an encounter with an Imperial informant, in which he murders the man for his own \u201cselfish\u201d means. Saving the the man from torture, sure, but mainly keeping the Rebel Alliance hidden from the Empire. \u2026but where do you stand here? The man would\u2019ve been tortured and put to death no matter what, right? So\u2026killing him to save the Rebel secrets makes sense\u2026right?\nThis is everywhere in Rogue One. The nature of war is dark and light \u2013 which is perfect for Star Wars in name and in spirit \u2013 and this film deals with the dirty secrets we need to accept. The first thing we see is Galen Erso, a retired(?) Imperial engineer, yielding himself to the Empire in order to save his daughter\u2026but he did what he had to, didn\u2019t he? Helped the Empire with their evil plans, in order to keep his loved ones safe? Built the ultimate weapon, to keep himself from slaughter\u2026but built it with a flaw to help the Rebel Alliance from the inside?\nThe intentions are both good and bad for almost every character, but for Cassian, he is the grey area, embodied.\nCassian is ordered to kill Galen Erso when he\u2019s found. A traitor to the Alliance, Galen was too problematic for the Alliance to keep alive\u2026but as an audience, we know more than the rest of the characters. We know Galen isn\u2019t as evil as the Rebels believe. But the orders still stand, and Cassian is faced with a choice. And even when he chooses not to kill Galen, his crew discovers what he had planned to do, and he loses their trust. It wasn\u2019t his fault, and he disobeyed a direct order to do \u201cthe right thing,\u201d but it still negatively affects the rest of the mission.\nCassian\u2019s speech to the crew after Galen\u2019s eventual death represents what the Rebel Alliance is made of. A bunch of people dedicated to a cause, no matter the cost\u2026but isn\u2019t that the same as the Empire? Dedicated because they believe it\u2019s the best option for the future of the galaxy?\nIf there are two sides to every story, Rogue One is both sides for everyone. Cassian\u2019s speech before the final infiltration of Scarif says everything that needs to be said: We\u2019ve all done bad things for a cause we believe in. We couldn\u2019t live with ourselves if we stopped now. This realization is the nature of the Rebellion, and what it means to be at war.\nThe morality of the film is so grey throughout, it\u2019s hard to miss it, but it isn\u2019t absolutely necessary information either. We had enough in A New Hope to carry three films. But getting the information helps paint a new picture: This is war. Which, aside from the shooting and two specific factions clashing, we never really got this full idea from the original films.\nCouple this with the rest of the Rogue One\u2019s dark spots \u2013 like LITERALLY everyone dying \u2013 this is one mature film. The action, effects and performances make this film absolutely entertaining\u2026for fans, at least. Other than that, I\u2019m not sure how it plays. I do know that with Rogue One \u201ctechnically\u201d being a Star Wars prequel, this is EASILY THE GREATEST thing we could\u2019ve hoped for.\nmovie review Star Wars",

        "raw_content": "2018 Lavin Seed Fund Award Winner: Jerrin Padre\nThe Foster School\u2019s Buerk Center for Entrepreneurship proudly awards grants to Lavin Entrepreneurship Program students to help bolster their startup journey as they balance both school and work. The annual Seed Fund is unique to the highly competitive program at the University of Washington. Students compete and pitch their existing or early-stage ventures to a select group from the Seattle entrepreneurial community in early March. Each of the 2018 Lavin Seed Fund award winners shared an update on their startup journey with us. Here\u2019s Jerrin Padre of \u201cBo & Whimsy\u201c.\n2018 has been a doozy, folks! I sort of feel like I\u2019m on the tail end of a treadmill that\u2019s running a little too fast and the only thing preventing me from tripping and being launched backwards is my death grip on the rail. Only, in this case, the rail is my current responsibilities while the treadmill represents the tidal wave of deadlines leading up to graduation.\nSince receiving the Lavin Seed Finding, I\u2019ve primarily been in development mode. March and April was filled with numerous phone calls to different printing companies trying to figure out the best deal going forward. I\u2019d love to be able to print in hardcover, which is a goal for the next printing round, but finding a cost effective way to do so is proving mighty difficult. I\u2019ve talked to both local and national printing companies and narrowed it down to a list of 4 or 5. As for distribution strategy, I\u2019ve also been reaching out potential partners and influencers. There are a few accounts I\u2019m still working on, but so far they look promising! Updates to come.\nI\u2019ve also been chatting back and forth with our illustrator, Chawin, who is currently based out of Thailand. Dealing with WiFi and a 14-hour time difference doesn\u2019t make for the most streamlined communication, nor is it the leanest and meanest way of getting things done. With our busy schedules, it sometimes take us a week to get back to one another, which can get frustrating when we\u2019re trying to adhere to self-imposed deadlines.\nOf course, all the Bo & Whimsy work throughout the past few months has been done in tandem with a full-time course load, working 3 other jobs, and dodging the 90 mph curve balls life tends to throw at you.\nA lot of people tell you what it takes to keep a company afloat, but don\u2019t really talk about what it takes to keep oneself afloat. And this makes sense\u2014kind of. Everyone\u2019s experience is different, and what works for some may be the downfall of others. However, if there\u2019s anything I\u2019ve learned throughout this process, it\u2019s how to better manage myself.\nI\u2019m an impatient, hands-on person who often bites off way more than I can chew. One minute I\u2019ll be talking strategy and the next I\u2019m fighting in the trenches. I like to be involved in big and small decisions, and my attention-to-detail may have the tendency to turn into full-blown neurotic-ism. So, for the sake of every poor soul who\u2019s so graciously dealt with me during those times (and my future spouse and children), I\u2019m here to make a change! Starting with letting go. I said a swift, \u201cBye, Felisha!\u201d to the idea that I could and should publish a book all by myself. The same goes for asking for help. I was able to realize my discomfort with delegating and started to let more people in on my process. Since doing so, I\u2019ve felt more inspired and supported than I have in a while, and hearing other\u2019s perspectives on the book and it\u2019s direction made me fall in love with the project all over again!\nRead more about Jerrin Padre in this profile piece here.

Teresa Jones\u2019s dreams of flying contrast sharply with her dreary, earthbound life working as a filing-clerk in a CD store. But when she meets Miguel Angel Ramirez, a misfit Mexican immigrant who builds and flies kites for a living, Teresa will be challenged to give up her low self-esteem and Life Sucks t-shirts, and discover that the happiness she thinks is out of her reach might actually be just one small leap of faith away.\nTo read more about this book, click here.\nThe Whirling of the Serpent\nJos\u00e9 Luis D\u00edaz (Antares, 2009)\nWith delicate prose and painstaking research, reflection and analysis, Jos\u00e9 Luis D\u00edaz reveals how the myth of Quetzalcoatl, the plumed serpent of the ancient Mexicans, lives on today. This powerful icon has come to play a significant role in the construction of the Mexican nation, and this book traces the story of the Quetzalcoatl myth from its distant origins up to its most recent artistic, literary and political mutations. The work also compares Quetzalcoatl with other myths from the neighbouring cultures of Peru, Colombia, Brazil and Paraguay, constituting a decisive and fascinating endeavour of recovery and assimilation.\nTo read a review of the book, click here.\nBajo la luz de mi sangre/Under the Light of My Blood (Bilingual Edition)\nJorge Enrique Gonz\u00e1lez Pacheco (Trafford, 2009)\nIn his collection Under the Light of my Blood, Jorge Enrique Gonz\u00e1lez Pacheco paints a poetic tapestry of powerful and often unsettling images of his life in Cuba, where he was born. The poems express a search for identity, or an interior autobiography chronicling the events from the poet\u2019s birth until his exile. His poetry thus constitutes a means of capturing the author\u2019s most intimate formative experiences.\nMario Guillermo Huacuja (Trafford, 2009)\nThrough its examination of the relationship between a single immigrant mother and her son, In the Name of the Son offers a perspective on the lives of Hispanic American migrants, as well as the social, political and economic upheavals that have marked the U.S. and Mexico at the beginning of the 21st Century. Mario Huacuja delivers a fast-paced novel with a cinematic flavor, offering unexpected twists in every scene. It is perhaps no accident that one of the characters turns out to be the silver screen legend himself, Robert De Niro.\nJos\u00e9 Manuel S\u00e1nchez Berm\u00fadez (Brill, 2012)\nIn its current stage of historical development, capital \u2013 embodied in a handful of gigantic transnational companies whose representatives battle to consolidate themselves as a global oligarchy \u2013 continues to concentrate its economic, political and military power into ever fewer hands. This book offers an analysis of the mechanisms on which capital is based, and identifies signs that the current neoliberal phase of capital domination constitutes the final stage of development of a capital in decline.\nThe Minotaur\u2019s Island\nAna P. Jim\u00e9nez & H\u00e9ctor J. P\u00e9rez (ADS, 2012)\nOn the island of Crete during World War II, a young Australian soldier and a local village girl flee from the invading Nazis and become hopelessly lost in an underground labyrinth. To find their way out, they must decipher the mysterious hieroglyphs on the walls around them. As they do, they begin to unlock one of the world\u2019s greatest secrets, a secret that could change the course of history itself: the secret of the Minotaur.\nPaulina Derbez (Editorial Ink, 2014)\nThe Conscious Musician is a book destined to change parents\u2019 and teachers\u2019 perception of the process of teaching and learning music. Mexican violinist and music teacher Paulina Derbez drew from her own experience to produce this book, which functions as both a practical learning manual and a philosophical exploration of the true meaning of making music. \u201cOnly when we understand, as Paulina does, that music is neither a simple form of amusement nor an obligation, neither a mindless pleasure nor a mere display or technical prowess, but as she suggests, a fundamental part of human life, and of our inner lives, will we be able to comprehend its importance\u201d \u2013 Jorge Volpi\nAmigonian Identity in Action\nJuan Antonio Vives Aguilella (Fund. Univ. Luis Amig\u00f3, 2014)\nIn this book, Spanish theological scholar Juan Antonio Vives Aguilella explores the philosophical foundations of the pedagogical approach of the Congregation of Capuchin Tertiary Friars (or Amigonians), who for 125 years have worked to support poor children and youth dispossessed of their rights. This text is at once a pedagogical manual for members of the Amigonian congregation, which now has a presence on four continents, and a biography of the life and thought of its founder, Luis Amig\u00f3, whose dedication to the Christian humanist principles of love and social justice form the basis of Amigonian identity.\nThe Order of the Knights of Time I: The Mystery of Queen Nefertiti\nC.T. Cassana (Amazon Books, 2017)\nWhen the Wilfords move into an old, ramshackle house in London, they have no idea that hidden somewhere inside it is a powerful object, as wondrous as it is dangerous. After young Charlie Wilford accidentally stumbles upon this mysterious treasure, he and his busybody sister, Lisa, will find themselves caught up in all kinds of challenging adventures. Meanwhile, Maggie Wilford, Charlie\u2019s mother and an acclaimed archeologist, will attempt to uncover one of the greatest mysteries of Ancient Egypt: the true identity and burial place of the Great Queen Nefertiti.\nSELECTED PUBLISHED TRANSLATIONS (ARTICLES AND SHORT STORIES)\nMarzal-Felici, Javier, and Mar\u00eda Soler-Campillo. \u201cThe Spectacle of Excess: Representations of the Financial Crisis of 2008 in Mainstream American Cinema.\u201d Revista Latina de Comunicaci\u00f3n Social. 73, pp. 89-114.\nLabarga-Ad\u00e1n, Ignacio, Laura Gonz\u00e1lez-D\u00edez, and Pedro P\u00e9rez-Cuadrado. \u201cDigital Native Magazines in the Field of Sports in Spain: The Case of MARCA Plus.\u201d Mediterranean Journal of Communication.

        "raw_content": "On Saturday evening we decided to go out for Chinese food, but I wanted to watch the Preakness at 6:15, so we agreed to wait until after the race was over.\nWhat a tragedy. Edgar Prado did a wonderful job of trying to pull up the injured Barbaro, but 1,300 pounds of adrenaline-soaked horse in pain takes a while to stop. I thought immediately of Go For Wand in the Breeders' Cup stretch and Ruffian in her match race against Foolish Pleasure and couldn't watch it any more.\nI was actually more traumatized by it than I realized. The rest of the weekend, I kept flashing back to the sight of the colt, standing surprisingly calmly while being tended by the track vets and his trainers, holding his broken ankle in pain. I kept checking the internet for reports from the New Bolton Center on when his surgery would be performed and how he was doing.\nAnd I'm not the only one. Even today, three days after his injury, Google News lists over 2,500 news articles about Barbaro. The Edmonton Oilers, one win away from becoming the Stanley Cup Champions, only have about 1,000 stories. People are coming in droves to leave presents and messages for the stricken horse at the University of Penn large animal hospital and the media is following intently the daily press conferences with his surgeon and owners.\nAs one article notes:\nIn fact, in some perverse way, you can make the case that the sport might be attracting more attention now than if Barbaro had actually won the Preakness, on his way to a possible Triple Crown.\nThat's winning and losing. This is life and death. Roles have reversed. Stripped of what he does best, Barbaro is now an underdog fighting long odds.\n\"What makes Barbaro's plight so heartbreaking is that he exuded such joy in his extraordinary gift for running, and now he has been cheated of it,\" (Laura) Hillenbrand said. \"He has lost the thing that defined him, and it was something so beautiful and so precious and rare. I don't think anyone can look upon that and not feel moved.\nHis owners, Roy and Gretchen Jackson, live just outside of Philadelphia, and have bred horses for many years. Mrs. Jackson summed up what I think most people are feeling about this horse who was relatively unknown to the world until the first Saturday in May:\n\"My only hope for him is that he lives a painless life. Whether that means he'll be a stallion and we're lucky enough to see little Barbaros, that would be a supreme hope for him.\"\n[I hope we get to see little Barbaros too.]\n\"Hope is a gift we give ourselves, and it remains when all else is gone.\"\nNaomi Judd (1946 - ____) US singer",

        "title": "David Koch, Billionaire Political Donor, Announces Retirement",
        "raw_content": "Charles Koch, 82, has been the primary leader in recent years for the Koch political network, a vast empire of organizations that's rivaled by only the Republican Party in terms of influence in conservative politics.\nOfficials said David Koch would transition to a director emeritus role at the company, the second largest privately held firm in the United States.\nThe LIBRE Initiative President Daniel Garza stated, \"We are pleased to stand with those who understand how greatly America benefits from trade - and how badly hurt we are by tariffs and other barriers\". Here is an excerpt from the note sent to staff.\nA letter to Koch Industries employees from its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Charles Koch attributes David Koch's decision to deteriorating health. \"As a result, he is unable to be involved in business and other organisational activities\". \"Because of this, David will be retiring from his responsibilities at Koch and other organizations\".\nThe announcement Monday by three groups funded by the billionaire industrialists comes days after the Trump administration imposed new levies on steel and aluminum imports from the European Union, Canada and Mexico and threatened to press ahead with $50 billion in tariffs on Chinese products.\nThe Kochs, who have channeled billions of dollars into conservative causes, kept their distance from Trump during the 2016 presidential election.\nThis story is developing and updates may be added to this post. By contrast, the Koch network spent more than $120 million in the unsuccessful 2012 effort to defeat President Barack Obama.\nIn an April interview with the Washington Examiner, Charles Koch described his younger brother this way: \"David is much more political than I am\". They have, however, distanced themselves from and disagreed with President Trump on a variety of issues.\nBorn and raised in Wichita, David Koch received his bachelor's and master's degrees in chemical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.\nKoch, who now lives in NY with his family, will continue to serve on some boards of organizations to which he has philanthropic ties. The longtime philanthropist, who has supported vaunted NY institutions such as the American Museum of Natural History, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Lincoln Center, also funded a cancer research institute at MIT and has donated over $700 million to medical causes since his 1992 cancer diagnosis.\nAlthough David Koch's involvement had been reduced in recent years, he still held several top positions within the Koch network, including as chairman of a foundation that supports Americans for Prosperity.\nCiting concerns about Trump's style and substance, the network refused to endorse either presidential candidate in the 2016 election. They won about 1% of the vote.\nThe document also says the United Kingdom would be able to implement new trade deals - something which Brussels may push back against.\nStatistics Canada says trade deficit narrowed to $1.9 billion in April\nStatistics Canada said lower imports of motor vehicles and parts and consumer goods outweighed higher imports of energy products. Still, \"trade tensions remain a threat to the outlook and clearly have the potential to derail economic growth\", he said.\nManchester City baulk at \u00a360m asking price for Napoli's Jorginho\nJohnson's warden, case manager and vocational training instructor each wrote letters in support of her clemency.

        "title": "Hurricane Florence: South Carolina vs. Marshall matchup canceled due to storm",
        "raw_content": "President Donald Trump both touted the government's readiness and urged people to get out of the way.\n\"Don't play games with it\".\nHurricane Florence, now a Category 2 storm, is slowly approaching the US coast, and the storm's massive fury is on full display in video footage taken from the International Space Station.\nTim Bowen said nearby cities like Kinston and Goldsboro are more inland, but have a history of severe flooding and the situation might be even worse for evacuees.\n\"Some say North Carolina is getting a break, but we are on the wrong side of this story\", he said.\nAs of 11 p.m. ET Wednesday, the storm was centred 455 kilometres east-southeast of Wilmington, N.C., moving northwest at 28 km/h.\nBleak warning issued as Hurricane Florence heads for the US. But that was out in the open ocean, where deeper water means bigger waves.\nCoastal towns up and down the Carolina coast are nearly completely deserted. Closer to central North Carolina, Fayetteville could see winds of 27 miles per hour. Cars and trucks full of people and belongings streamed inland.\nWeather Underground meteorology director Jeff Masters said Florence eventually could strike as merely a Category 1 hurricane with winds less than 160 km/h, but that's still enough to cause at least $1 billion in damage.\nLarge and risky, Hurricane Florence is drawing closer to the coast of the Carolinas, where it threatens to become the most intense storm to strike the region in at least 25 years, since Hugo. Most other beachgoers were long done.\n\"Its been really nice\", Nicole Roland said. \"Also, a little creepy\". \"If they're telling you to leave, you have to leave\", Graham said. Airlines cancelled almost 1000 flights and counting.\nEven miles away from the Atlantic, North Carolina residents in low-lying areas are boarding up and emptying stores.\n\"This morning I drove around for an hour looking for gas in Cary\".\nRoslyn Fleming, 56, said her granddaughter was baptized in the inlet near where she lives in the coastal community of Sea Breeze and on Thursday morning she used her iPad to make a video of the scene. The more the Great Lakes one wins, the more southerly Florence will be. Damaging effects from the storm are expected to be felt far inland, particularly as it's projected to stall once it crosses the coastline. Forecasters also were tracking two other disturbances.\nA hurricane's numerical classification tends to dominate the headlines, but it tells only part of the story - it rates a storm's wind speeds - and not necessarily the most life-threatening part. The Navy, Air Force and Army were moving ships and aircraft out of harm's way. Florence's heavy rains could cause an environmental disaster if waste from hog manure pits, coal ash dumps and other industrial sites wash into homes or threaten drinking water supplies.\nHurricane Isaac is now moving through the western tropical Atlantic Ocean but will likely bring heavy rain and damaging winds to parts of the Lesser Antilles later this week.\n\"You have water coming onshore and you can rainfall coming down that's trying to move out\", he said.",

        "title": "A 3D look at ancient Hellenic houses | Baring the Aegis",
        "raw_content": "I recently came across this video of a 3D reconstruction of an ancient Hellenic home. It's a house is a reconstruction of one in Olynthus was an ancient city of Chalcidice, built mostly on two flat-topped hills 30\u201340m in height, in a fertile plain at the head of the Gulf of Torone, near the neck of the peninsula of Pallene. Olynthus was abruptly destroyed in 348 BC by Phillip of Macedon after allying with Athens. The houses are relatively undisturbed and provide a relatively unique look at the life of Ancient Hellas before Hellenism swept through and marked the very end of the Classical age. This model is the House of the Tiled Prothyon, a broadly higher class or oikos of Olynthus.\nAncient Hellenic homes were simple structures, made from clay, wood, and stone. The roofs were covered with tiles, or reeds, and the houses had one or two stories. Most houses were small, just a few rooms, with a walled garden or yard in the middle. Others, like the house in the video, were much larger. They were not solely homes, but often doubled as offices, shops, entertainment areas, and as a place of worship. In many cases, a large wall with a single door connected the house to the street, while insuring maximum privacy tot he occupants of the house. Rooms at the front of the house often served as store rooms or work shops. Other rooms in the house served as bedrooms, as a kitchen, bathroom, and smaller store rooms. Symposia were held in special rooms, reserved only for men. The only women who entered the male-only rooms were serfs. These rooms were called 'andron' (\u03b1\u03bd\u03b4\u03c1\u03ce\u03bd). Female-only rooms were called 'gynaikon' (\u03b3\u03c5\u03bd\u03b1\u03b9\u03ba\u1ff6\u03bd).\nThe courtyard of the home often held a b\u00f4mos, a free standing, raised, altar where the majority of household worship took place. Some houses also had a wall niche, an indoor worship area, either in a room especially designated for worship, or in the main family room. These altars were used to worship the Ephestioi (\u0395\u03c6\u03b5\u03c3\u03c4\u03b9\u03bf\u03b9), the most personal of the household Theoi. These almost always included: Hestia, Zeus Ephestios (Overseer of the Hearth), Zeus Kthesios, and Agath\u00f3s Da\u00edm\u014dn. Worship of these deities was highly personal, and many other Theoi could be added to this worship list.\nHestia was represented by the hearth fire that was always kept burning. If it went out, the male head of household would go to the prytaneion (\u03a0\u03c1\u03c5\u03c4\u03b1\u03bd\u03b5\u1fd6\u03bf\u03bd), the structure where state officials met and where the city kept a fire for Hestia burning day and night, for a new flame. All fires in the house were lit from this one fire, so Hestia would watch over everything and everyone inside the house. Zeus Ephestios was and is a more active defender of the home. He shields the actual structure of the house. Where Hestia watches over the occupants, Zeus Ephestios guards the very walls, the roof, the floor, and any possessions inside the structure. He was worshipped at the main altar.\nZeus Kthesios guards the pantry, and was honoured there as well, where he had his own shrine, often adorned with a kathiskos. Agath\u00f3s Da\u00edm\u014dn and the ancestors were also worshipped at the main altar, although they may have had small shrines to themselves, especially in the case of wall niches.\nIn the courtyard of the house, the Herkeioi (\u1f19\u03c1\u03ba\u03b5\u03b9\u03bf\u03b9) were honoured: those of the herkos or front court. Most notably, this was Zeus Herkeios (\u1f19\u03c1\u03ba\u03b5\u03b9\u03bf\u03c2), protector of the enclosure of the house. And just outside the house, and especially near the gate to the street, small shrines and altars were placed in honor of the less personal protectors: Apollon (sometimes in his epithet of 'Aguieus' (\u1f08\u03b3\u03c5\u03b9\u03b5\u03cd\u03c2), protector of the streets, public places, and the entrances to homes), Hermes Propylaios, Hekate, and especially in Sparta, the Dioskouroi. H\u0113rakl\u0113s sometimes took the place of Apollon.\nZeus Herkeios' altar stood in the courtyard and He, from the inside of the house, protected against anyone wanting to harm the house or the family living in it. These altars were most often pillars, on or around which the offerings could be placed. Hermes, Apollon, and Hekate were represented by a pointy four-sided post. The top was reserved for Apollon, the bottom often held a niche where Deipnon offerings could be placed to Hekate, and Hermes' face (and sometimes his genitalia) was sometimes carved into the post. Hermes sometimes got his own post, called a 'herm', which was a rectangular post, with His face carved on top, and his genitalia carved out on the front.\nNot all of these things can be seen in the video, but some are.

I was hooked from the first page to the final.\nThis book takes place five years before the events of The Force Awakens. We find Leia still part of a Senate. Where she was once fresh and perhaps a bit naive, she has grown up becoming more mature and much more aware of the worlds around her. The New Republic Senate is reeling from the departure of Mon Mothma, leading to the bickering and power struggles between its members.\nYet Leia is relentless in her desire to continue for peace among the planets and galaxies part of the New Republic.\nA rumor begins to circulate that there is a new threat coming in the form of a kingpin who has taken over what the Hutts were. Leia volunteers to lead the mission to investigate the rumors to see if these are true. Yet she is not going alone. She is lined with an rival of her own faction. With her own faction pushing her to try for the job of the Senate's most powerful position, Leia sets out to discover the truth of the rumor.\nI was highly impressed with Claudia Gray's Leia. She has fleshed her out making her more than just a heroine of the rebellion but also still very much still human.\nAnd she gave breath to the expanded universe belonging to the Star Wars world.\nThis book and it's cover will draw you in until the very end and you will come of it wanting more of it.\nI am seriously looking forward to further writings of Claudia Gray and her divulge into the Star Wars universe.\nTags: author: claudia gray, series: star wars canon",

Before we begin, however, it is useful to note that the number 15 (as in 15%) will appear frequently in this dissertation. For those who are mathematically challenged, it is simpler perhaps to divide the total by 10, and then in half, and add those two values together. For example, for a $23.00 bill, divide the total by ten (that is, move the decimal point one hop to the left) which gives $2.30. Then divide that in half ($1.15, which I hope should be easy enough for the reader to derive on his own). Now add the two together: $2.30 plus $1.15 is $3.45. It is acceptable to offer exact change, but rounding the total to the next-highest quarter (or preferably the next-highest dollar) makes the traveler appear less of a cheapass; thus, you could quite properly count out $26.45, but to hand the server $27 with \"keep the change\" will.\nIt is strongly recommended you read the article!",

The windshield and glass that comes standard on all vehicles sold in this country provides a great deal of protection to the occupants if it is in good condition. If there are any chips, cracks, or other damage, the strength of the entire piece of glass could be compromised. Whenever possible, Auto Glass Las Vegas attempts to repair the damage, rather than replacing the entire part. Our innovative repair process takes about an hour, requires no further maintenance, and restores the original strength of the glass. Glass with significant damage or with damage that is too close to the edges cannot be repaired and must be replaced to maximize the safety of the vehicles occupants. When a replacement is needed, we use only high quality rated safety glass. Call us today to speak to our experts.\nFor the Best Windshield Replacement Services Call (702) 605-6221\nOur company provides customers with piece of mind knowing their vehicle is safe. A strong windshield plays a role in a variety of the safety functions of your vehicle. This comes into play perhaps most often in the case that the airbag deploys. The airbag is designed to wedge between the steering wheel and the windshield to reach the adequate internal pressure to provide protection. If the glass is not installed properly, or it is already damaged, there is a strong chance that it will either pop out, or shatter. This leaves the occupants vulnerable to subsequent impacts because the layer of safety that the glass provides is removed. Furthermore, the airbag will not generate the necessary force to adequately protect the occupants of the vehicle. When a vehicle rolls over, a strong and well bonded windshield provides about twenty percent of a car\u2019s strength. If for whatever reason this strength is reduced, the occupants can be at serious risk. It is important to choose people with a high level of training and experience to work on your vehicle. According to some statistics, over three quarters of replacements are done wrong.\nCall us about All of Your Windshield Replacement Needs\nOur auto glass replacement technicians use only the highest quality parts and materials when doing any repairs. The reason that repairs are always preferable is because the glass that comes standard on your vehicle must meet stringent safety standards, and provides the maximum level of protection. Replacement glass does not have to meet these specifications, and therefore, provide less protection. The bond holding the glass in place can also be weak, meaning it can pop out when you need it most. Our highly trained and experienced technicians have the knowhow to get the job done right. Our innovative replacement process uses the latest vehicle specific binders to ensure that the maximum amount of strength is achieved. We are the leaders for a reason.",

Listening to it, you couldn't help but think that the British band would end up the subject of a VH-1 \"Behind the Music\" installment, with surviving members talking about how the singer's drug addiction destroyed the group. That singer, Pete Doherty, has by all accounts cleaned up his act. And the sadness of the debut seems to have been replaced by a sort of weariness on The Libertines' second, self-titled release. No, the band doesn't sound tired or dull, just older and wiser.

        "title": "What\u2019s Better About Windows 8?",
        "raw_content": "Articles Software System Utilities What\u2019s Better About Windows 8?\nWhat\u2019s Better About Windows 8?\nYou know, the really annoying thing about OS updates is that updating can be a pain. Not only are there additional costs, but the actual act of updating can be a challenge. What\u2019s more, sometimes updating is simply not worth the effort. I have no doubt that by now you\u2019ve heard a lot of hype about Windows 8. According to a number of sources, Windows 8 will be better, stronger, faster than Windows 7. But, how much truth surrounds these rumors? Will Windows 8 really be all that much better or should you just stick with your Windows 7 version? If you\u2019re as curious as I am about Windows 8, here are some of the things that you can look forward to (or not).\nIt\u2019s Hard to Ignore Aesthetics\nWindows 8 has a whole new interface called \u201cMetro UI.\u201d This interface really doesn\u2019t look anything like the old Windows 7 interface. Instead, Metro UI places home screen apps directly on your desktop, so that you can just click on these apps to get started (much like Apple has done in the past with OS X). What you\u2019ll see when you open a Windows 8 OS are a number of very colorful tiled apps (much like the current Verge homepage, oddly). Inside of these apps you will find lots of stuff like emails, messages, and various other details.\nAside from the way that the apps on the homepage look, these apps will be in real-time. So, if you want to keep up with Twitter, for example, you will see every bit of new Twitter news right on your homepage. Scrolling through these apps is a bit different too. Instead of scrolling up and down, to go through the homepage apps you will have to scroll from left to right, much like you would on a tablet or smartphone.\nSo, What About That Faster Part?\nA faster OS is a better OS for all kinds of reasons. Most importantly, a faster OS means that your workday will fly by a lot faster. Windows has promised faster OS updates in the past, though some of these updates didn\u2019t deliver. How does Windows 8 measure up? A number of tech blogs have actually had the chance to go hands-on with Windows 8 and test out the speeds. Thus far, all reports claim that the new OS is, indeed, faster than its predecessor. The tech blog Lifehacker reports that Windows 8 boots 25 seconds faster than Windows 7 \u2013 25 seconds is a big deal when it comes to boot time.\nUnification Promises\nMicrosoft has also promised that Windows 8 will be able to unify a few devices running Windows. If you have a Windows smartphone, tablet, and PC, you can run Metro UI on all three devices without a hitch \u2013 only, there is a slight hitch. Currently Windows phones are not (and will not be) upgradable to Windows 8. If you happen to have a current Windows smartphone, you\u2019re out of luck. If you\u2019re about to buy one, the promise is that Windows 8 will run seamlessly. Lastly, let\u2019s talk about price. Microsoft has told consumer that the upgrade to Windows 8 will be \u201clow cost.\u201d How low is that cost? Around $39.99. Is the upgrade worth the price? Right now, it certainly looks like the new OS will be worth upgrading to, but I\u2019m going to recommend waiting a few weeks to see how it all goes. If no major glitches have popped up by then, go ahead and make the switch \u2013 all signs point to a better all-around OS.",

Courts generally agree that linking to another website does not infringe the copyrights of that site, nor does it give rise to a likelihood of confusion necessary for a federal trademark infringement claim. However, there are a couple of things that we need to be careful of regarding external links:\nLinking to infringing works\nAvoid a situation where you knowingly link to works that clearly infringe upon someone\u2019s copyright, like pirated music files or video clips of commercially distributed movies and music videos. In this situation, you might be liable for what is known as \u201ccontributory copyright infringement\u201d. \u201cContributory copyright infringement occurs by \u2018intentionally inducing or encouraging direct infringement\u2019 of a copyrighted work.\u201d As long as you do not know that a work infringes someone\u2019s copyright, then you cannot be held liable for contributory infringement for directing users to that work. On the other hand, it is not necessarily safe to simply claim that you \u201cdidn\u2019t know\u201d when the circumstances make it clear the material you link to is infringing. Use your common sense. Fred von Lohmann gives the following rules of thumb to help avoid contributory copyright infringement (specifically with reference to embedding videos):\ndon\u2019t embed videos that are obviously infringing, and\nconsider removing embedded videos once you\u2019ve been notified by a copyright owner that they are infringing.\nRelatedly, you may be able to protect yourself against claims of contributory copyright infringement by complying with the notice-and-takedown procedures of the the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). For details, see Notice-and-Takedown.\nLinking to sites with a No Deep Linking policy\nMany copyright experts believe that deep linking (links that bypass a website\u2019s home page) is not copyright infringement \u2014 after all, the author of a novel can\u2019t prevent readers from reading the end first if they so desire, so why should a website owner have the right to determine in what order a user can access a website? Some well-known websites such as Amazon.com welcome deep links. However, if a commercial website has no linking policy or says that deep links are not allowed, it\u2019s wise to ask for permission before deep linking (Source).\nhyperlink, URL, copyright, resource, all rights reserved, permission, link, infringe, embed, sites, policy",

        "raw_content": "Julio Urias\u2019 time might come sooner rather than later\nDustin Nosler 04/28/2016\tJulio Urias 1,436 Comments\nJulio Urias is making his fourth start for Oklahoma City today. He has fared pretty well in his first three starts, which isn\u2019t surprising.\nWith some Dodger starters struggling \u2014 Scott Kazmir (though, he was solid on Wednesday), Alex Wood and, to a lesser extent, Ross Stripling \u2014 Urias\u2019 call to the majors might come earlier than expected. At least, maybe it should be considered.\nIn his first three starts, Urias has a 3.00 ERA, 3.21 FIP, 33.4 K% (20 strikeouts), 3.4 BB% (two walks) and a great .193 batting average against. Those are dominant numbers. There\u2019s a number that\u2019s even more dominant: his swinging strike rate.\nUrias has induced 40 swings and misses in his first three games, good for a 17.2 percent swinging strike rate. For comparison\u2019s sake, Noah Syndergaard and Michael Pineda (!) lead MLB with a 16.6 swinging strike rate thus far. Now, Urias wouldn\u2019t come up and get a swinging strike on every sixth pitch he throws, but the talent is apparent and obvious (and has been for the last three years).\nHyun-Jin Ryu threw a bullpen session earlier this week, but he\u2019s still a long way away from coming back. Even when (if) he does, there\u2019s no telling how well he\u2019s going to pitch. Brandon McCarthy is in the same boat, as he also threw a bullpen earlier in the week. But he\u2019s probably even farther away than Ryu. So, why not give Urias a chance?\nWell, one reason is his stamina. Urias has not topped 80 pitches or five innings in his first three starts (those are his highs). This has been the issue since he debuted. I understand not wanting to push a 16-year-old in his first taste of professional ball back in 2013, but he should have been allowed to build innings more gradually each season. Here are his innings pitched breakdown by season:\n2013: 54 1/3, 3.0 IP/GS\n2014: 80 IP, 4 IP/GS\n2016: 15, 5.0 IP/GS\nThe 2014 total doesn\u2019t include the five games out of the bullpen, due mostly to players being on rehab assignments. In those five outings, he totaled 7 2/3 IP, 2 H, 3 R/ER, 9 BB (oof), 12 K. And of course, he missed two months due to cosmetic eye surgery. In that piece, I wrote about how his development was stunted because of it.\n\u201cI get it. He\u2019s 18 (19 next month) and there\u2019s no reason to really push him that hard. But he was projected to throw 100-120 innings this season. To date, he\u2019s at 40 2/3 innings with about six weeks left in the minor-league season. He hasn\u2019t yet made it back to Double-A Tulsa and time is running out to build up his stamina. His career-high in innings is 87 2/3, which he reached last year. He could (and should) get some work in the instructional league in September and the Arizona Fall League in October and November. That would be best for his development, but it still doesn\u2019t compare to the rigors of a full starting schedule. He could also \u2014 in theory \u2014 be recalled to be reliever out of the bullpen for the Dodgers, ala David Price for the Rays back in 2008. While some signs appear to be leading that direction, I\u2019m still skeptical the Dodgers would throw him into that situation at 19, coming off surgery and without pinpoint command. It just doesn\u2019t seem like a mutually beneficial situation.\u201d\nReasons for the surgery notwithstanding, his development was a bit stunted.\nTechnically, he\u2019s throwing more innings per start, which is good. But at this point, a player going into his fourth minor-league season should be averaging a bit more in the way of innings per start than Urias is. I know his case is different than most, but he isn\u2019t a frail kid anymore. He\u2019s a grown-ass man (6\u20192, 205 pounds) who could benefit from a challenge like pitching in the majors.\nDave Cameron made a good point back in March after Brett Anderson suffered a back injury.\n\u201cUrias, generally considered the best or second-best pitching prospect in baseball, is just 19 years old and spent most of last year in Double-A, where he threw only 68 innings. Realistically, the Dodgers would like to not rely on him, and maybe give him a taste of the majors in relief work in the second half of the season, where he could get his feet wet without carrying a huge workload. But the talent and the performances both suggest that Urias could hold his own in the big leagues right now, and if the Dodgers are targeting something like 120 innings for Urias this year, another injury might provoke the question of whether they\u2019d be best served getting those earlier in the year instead.\u201d\nSeeing as Ryu, McCarthy, Mike Bolsinger and maybe Anderson should all be back later in the season (and who knows what they will/won\u2019t do at the trade deadline), getting some MLB innings out of Urias early might be the way to go. It might also give the pitching staff a boost.\nIt wouldn\u2019t solve the issue of anyone but Clayton Kershaw being able to throw more than five or six innings consistently, but it would give the rotation an injection of talent. It would also give the Dodgers another option if Kazmir and Wood can\u2019t figure out their issues. Pairing Urias with Wood might be the best way to go, seeing as Wood begins to struggle the third time through the batting order.\nI\u2019m not sure how realistic it is, but it might be an option going forward. Kenta Maeda probably won\u2019t continue pitching as well as he is (because he has been amazing), so an infusion of youth and pure talent might be much-needed in a matter of weeks until some of the veterans come back from their injuries.\nPrevious Marlins 2, Dodgers 0: Offense Puts On A Pathetic Show For Everybody\nNext Marlins @ Dodgers April 28, 2016: Maeda Mania vs. Fernandez in Series Finale",

Twelve hours ago, I was in a jucuzzi sipping a Heineken with Iggie and now I\u2019ve got my (electric = costly) heat running at full blast and my poor cat is burying himself under the covers of my bed (which is a good thing because otherwise, he\u2019d be mangling my Christmas Tree).\nWhile I was in Florida on holiday, or Floriday as I like to call it (don\u2019t bother looking it up, it doesn\u2019t exist), I got the opportunity to spend sometime with family. I traditionally say that \u201cFriends are God\u2019s way of making up for Family,\u201d but this isn\u2019t the case with mine.\nOn the flip-side of things, I also got to see Grandmere and Grandpere and spend some QT with my Mom\u2019s side of the family, whom I absolutely adore.\nEither way, things have been going extremely well, lately, on both the personal side of things and with my business. I just sent a 40-page designer booklet to bed for The Australian Trade Commission, as they\u2019re having their first annual Australian Designers Collections here in New York. The event features 16 designers from down-under, parading the hottest new trends from the exact opposite side of the globe as me. And while it was frustrating to work with people who don\u2019t understand the time difference (read: 2am phone calls on Sunday evening), it really got me excited to learn more about their culture and eventually tour the perimeters of their island/continent/country. You know their money is actually plastic, since they do so much swimming and water sports? That should tell you something about their culture.\nWe\u2019ve got a number of other projects in the works and about a dozen agreements/proposals in the air for the first quarter of 2006. I actually am turning away more work now than I did when I begged Mike to come aboard a few years back. And the cool thing is that a lot of it is print work; which I somehow find more gratifying than web design. Either way, I certainly feel blessed.\nBy the way, if you haven\u2019t yet tattoo\u2019d the pickel barrel, you really should.\nA Brazilian In NYC",

        "raw_content": ".....Barclay was launched in New Bedford in October 1793 for William Rotch Jr.1 It served as a whaler for over 50 years.\nAfter about 20 of those years, Job Coffin was master when it left New Bedford on 14 July 1815.2 Little has been found about the ship or crew while they were out. Most reports, from ships that had \"spoken\" either at sea or in port, place them at or off the west coast of South America during both trips that included John Briggs. On the first trip they left Lima, Peru, for home about 7 August 1817, sailing with Globe of Nantucket for most of the trip.

From this it is known they left \"Tongo Bay\" in the South Pacific on 26 June, and it's likely this was their last port of call before returning to New Bedford.

        "raw_content": "We are all experiencing this kind of feeling where everything is so overwhelming. There are times that we don\u2019t want to continue anymore. I am also experiencing this kind of feeling, that feeling of being burnout.\nHere are some of the things to do when experiencing burnout.\n1. Take a break from your work/priorities. When it comes to work, I put all my effort especially when I am in the mood for writing. Lately, I learned that in order to be effective, you just have to relax and take one step at a time. Sometimes we just need even 25 minutes to veg out and take a break. I\u2019ve been practicing this for quite sometime now and it works!\n2. Set a little \u201cMe Time\u201d. Give yourself a little pampering because you deserve it. From time to time, I see to it that I have my \u201cMe Time\u201d. This is a way of rewarding yourself from all the hardwork you\u2019ve done. Whether having a meni/pedi, going to the spa, or even applying on face masks to pamper your skin.\n3. Learn to say \u201cNo\u201d. Learn to say \u201cNo\u201d to certain obligations. You have the right to choose what task or job you can do for a day. You can say \u201cNo\u201d to extra obligations your boss may say to you. It is not all the time that you were always there to serve your boss. This may also happen to few circumstances. If you are not in the mood to go out with your friends, say it to them nicely.\n4. Get lots of Sleep. This is very important especially to working professionals. In order to avoid burnout, get a lot of sleep. 7-8 hours is the recommended time but I know not all the time we can make this happen. My tip to you is to atleast take some nap maybe 30 minutes or in my case I sleep for an hour. This way, you will be able to energize yourself and be in the mood to get back to work.\n5. Unplug from social media for a while. There are times that we need to move away from social media. It is not necessary that we should have our phones, ipad, tablet and laptop beside us all the time. Even if you can just unplug awhile at dinner or something like that, do it. It will help you step away from your obligations even if only for 20 minutes.\n6. Take a long weekend. Go away from reality by having a vacation. Maybe on a road trip or in the beach, go on a hiking. Be with your family and friends and enjoy the long weekend with some activities.\nburnout lifestyle",

        "raw_content": "Vocal fold polyp is a clearly demarcated mass usually found at the midpoint the vocal cord and are not cancerous or pre cancerous in nature. The phonotrauma or the physical stresses on the vocal fold due to heavy voice or voice use under adverse circumstances can be the reason for the typical location. Polyps on throat may be the result of localized bleeding from the ruptured small blood vessels of the vocal folds. A polyp is a reddish lesion with abrupt margin and is different from surrounding tissue. Polyps may occur singly or in pairs, one on each vocal fold directly opposite one another. The position of polyp will be always at the midpoint of the vocal fold.\nExceptional polyps overgrow due to repeated trauma. Any lesion that enlarges rapidly cannot be considered as a polyp and should be removed. It can cause a wide range of voice disturbances depending on the nature of the polyp.\nThe major symptom of polyps is painless hoarseness. The hoarseness is the result of irregularities in vocal fold closure as well as irregularities in vibration. In some cases it causes only intermittent voice breaks or may be accompanied by a feel of trapped foreign body at the level of the vocal folds.\nVocal cord therapy includes voice rest, to improve the voice, but it will not remove polyp. Voice therapy is the best choice especially in the case of a small lesion; these minimize the effect of the polyp and restore good voice. Depending on the degree of disability patient may be advised for a microlaryngoscopic surgery. The recurrence of another polyp is extremely low after surgery and voice therapy.\nVocal cord cysts are firm masses of tissue contained in a sac and are surrounded by a membrane. The cysts get settled near the surface of the vocal cord or deeper, near the ligament of the vocal cord. The degree of disruption of vocal cord vibration and the severity of hoarseness or other voice problem depends on the size and location of the cyst. The vocal cysts may result from the blocked mucous glands. The irritation of the vocal folds makes them vulnerable to clogging. The phonotrauma or the physical stress due to abuse of voice use, may also contribute to the formation of cyst. Depending on the origin vocal cord cysts are divided in to two; Mucus retention cysts, originates from the blocked glands and Epidermoid cysts due to developmental problems. Cysts are not precancerous or cancerous lesions. The symptoms experienced due to vocal cord cysts include: hoarseness, pain, fatigue and a sudden loss of voice. Vocal cysts can deteriorate the quality of human speech production. Females are more prone to develop vocal fold cysts and the size of the cyst is affected by the menstrual cycle. The cysts are seen on one side of the vocal fold but due to irritation it may cause swelling on the opposite side.\nVery rarely, a cyst may resolve on its own when the blockage that led to the accumulation of fluid resolves and the cyst drains. Initial therapy involves vocal training and speech therapy in conjunction with medical interventions to decrease irritation of the cyst. Voice rest may improve the voice to some level, but the cyst will not usually shrink. In some cases, enlarged cyst necessitates surgery to remove the cyst. Surgery followed by voice therapy is the most commonly recommended treatment for vocal cord cysts that significantly limit voice. Surgical methods like microlaryngoscopic surgery remove the entire cyst, since incomplete removal may lead to recurrence.",

Because population growth is considered by many to be the foremost problem facing developing countries in 2020, the paper addresses the question of whether population growth kept in check by AIDS mortality might lead to greater availability of food in 2020 than would be possible without AIDS.\nSubject - keywords AIDS (Disease)\nFood security -- Africa, Sub-Saharan.\nPopulation forecasting -- Africa, Sub-Saharan.\nEconomic development -- Africa, Sub-Saharan.\nPhysical description vi, 32 pages : ill., tables ; 28 cm.\nIFPRI Web link http://www.ifpri.org/publication/potential-impact-aids-population-and-economic-growth-rates\nAdd tags for The potential impact of AIDS on population and economic growth rates\nPost a Comment for The potential impact of AIDS on population and economic growth rates",

One of the key features of regulatory institutions is their independence which allows them to strike a balance between the opposing interests of energy companies, consumers and policy makers. In order for this to be feasible, it is necessary that the energy sector be excluded from the sphere of politics. In achieving this goal, the regulators, at the European and national levels, must have the dominant role, which should enable the proper balance between the political and market aspects. The second question is whether the energy sector can be clearly defined and different from other sectors, and as such survive in the future? Bearing in mind the complexity of the tasks of independent regulatory bodies, as well as the need to create a favorable environment for their proper work, it is clear why they originated first in modern states and their legal systems. The paper analyses three energy regulators, through an overview of their foundation, organization, goals and tasks they perform. The current regulatory phase is greatly influenced by the changes taking place in EU policies, which certainly influence the new and different approach to energy regulation.\nELEMENTARY SCHOOL LEARNING ABOUT ENTREPRENEURSHIP\nKatarina Diklic\nElementary School \u201eVuk Karad\u017ei\u0107\u201c, Sur\u010din, katarinadiklic@gmail.com\nLearning about entrepreneurship should start from a young age.

The author gives an overview of the role and significance of the stress tests that provide a quantitative assessment of the vulnerability of the banking portfolio and which are most often associated with unexpected but real economic events and shocks. The results of stress tests carried out in the United States as well as in the European Union mem\u00acber states in the context of a crisis with a focus on the framework for testing stress resistance in Basel II and III were also presented.\nTHEORETICAL DEVELOPMENT AND RESTRUCTURING OF THE ORGANIZATION\nSinisa Dostic\nFaculty of Business Studies and Law \u201cUniversity Union Nikola Tesla\u201d\nLjiljana Tesmanovic\nInstitute for textbooks Belgrade\nKenan Ademovic\nInternational University of Sarajevo, ademovic.kenan@gmail.com\nOrganizational theories have been developin from the first written traces of organization. For many years, many authors have tried to give their contribution to theories of the organization, and classical theory has created the foundations of organizational theory and leadership, putting emphasis on internal organization, relationships and efficiency. The emergence of cybernetics, the development of new technologies and other contemporary processes contributed to the further development of system theory which resulted in the restructuring of existing ones and the development of new models of the organization, which will be further discissed in this paper.\nRENTABILITY ANALYSIS OF SERBIAN CEREALS WITH REFERENCE TO GROSS SOCIAL PRODUCT AND THE EUROPEAN MARKET\nFaculty of Business Studies and Law, University \u201cUnion \u2013 Nikola Tesla\u201d, Belgrade, aleksandra.gajdobranski@fpsp.edu.rs\nMaja Andjelkovic\nFaculty of Informational Technologies and Engeenering University\u201eUnion \u2013 Nikola Tesla\u201c, Belgrade, maja.andjelkovic@fiti.edu.rs\nFaculty of Business Studies and Law, University \u201cUnion \u2013 Nikola Tesla\u201d, Belgrade, milan.jankovic@fpsp.edu.rs\nThe paper presents the profitability analysis of the most important cereals in Serbia (wheat and corn) with a turn onto the European market. The main aim of the research is to perceive the characteristics and tendencies in improving the profitability of wheat and maize in our country by using scientific methods and analyzing the trend of production and transport trends in the European market.

In this respect, fairs management can be viewed as a process of event management. If knowledge in the field of knowledge management is applied, fairs can be referred to as large systems or organizations in which knowledge management takes place. From the point of view of knowledge management, fairs represent the great learning organization. In the context of knowledge management, organizations and enterprises also represent learning organizations and systems in which knowledge management takes place. The fairs in this paper are viewed from the point of view of the role they play in the processes of knowledge manage\u00acment in organizations \u2013 primarily business organizations or enterprises. The aim of this paper is to create an empirical model for exploring the role of trade fairs in knowledge management processes in organizations, as well as creating a questionnaire for the survey.\nSOME ASPECTS OF THE WASTE MANAGEMENT IN SERBIA ACCORDING TO LEGISLATION ON ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION\nRadoljub Tomic\nFaculty of Strategic and Operational Management, Belgrade, SERBIA, e-mail: radoljub.tomic@fsom.edu.rs\nMilun Kokanovic\nFaculty of Strategic and Operational Management, Belgrade, SERBIA, e-mail: milun.kokanovic@fsom.edu.rs\nMilos Arsic\nHigh shipping school of academic studies, Belgrade, SERBIA, e-mail: misaarsa@yahoo.com\nThe solving the problem of sustainable resources and ecosystems must be firstly dedicated to monitoring, protecting and conserving the environment in relation to water and waste treatment. It is difficult to imagine a proper non-waste management action that is present everywhere (for example, waste in waters, which primarily affects the quality of water). Of course, waste can be used for different purposes (in production and processing, in energy and industrial processes, etc). Waste must be managed from the level of expectation, production, becoming, treatment and reuse or permanent disposal. This paper deals with the problems of waste management and gives a modest but recognizable contribution to how to have the care about waste, bearing in mind the application of the laws (in the case of R. Serbia). Given the problem of waste increasing, significant inputs and interfaces can be used in order to achieve improve results at the level of research and implementation in complementary areas related to industrial processes, materials, energy, water management and ecosystem management as a whole.",

I could bore you with all of the history of the Crane, but you can read about it on the Crane\u2019s website: https://www.smore.com/u513\nThe Crane can be whatever you want it to be.

If it\u2019s not something you want to deal with, you\u2019re more than welcome to mail him back to me.\nYou are encouraged to tweet as the Crane. Know that I will periodically tweet as him, but rarely. The more you tweet the less I will.\nIf you have questions or comments, please let me know. He\u2019s meant to just be a fun thing so play around however you want. Again, congrats on being a part of the EdCamp Crane story!\nThanks, Maryann Ngoon\ndancallahan on May 2, 2014 at 10:19 am said:\nI\u2019m so excited to finally meet the Edcamp Crane in person!

        "raw_content": "DatingfamilyInternet Datingmental health issuesrelationshipsSexYouth\nMental health issues need to be taken seriously\nMy cousin, 22, recently had a baby. She\u2019s bi-polar, has sought mental health help, and is taking her medication.\nMy aunt, who\u2019s currently going through a divorce, another legal battle, and must sell her home, is obsessed with controlling my cousin\u2019s life - whether she breastfeeds, what diapers she buys, etc.\nShe\u2019s overbearing and demanding with everyone.\nMy cousin and her infant daughter were initially living with her mother.\nMy aunt felt she should be focusing on school (though the baby was only a month old), but my cousin entered into a relationship with the baby\u2019s \u201cfather.\u201d\nHer mother says my cousin just chases guys, is a sex addict, and doesn\u2019t really love him.\nShe tells everyone that he may not be the father. However, her boyfriend believes he\u2019s the baby\u2019s father and wishes to be in her life.\nMy cousin spent two nights with the baby\u2019s father (they have a crib and other necessities).\nMy aunt called his mother and told her everything wrong that my cousin has ever done (drugs, running away, etc.).\nShe then called Children\u2019s Services seeking an order that my cousin and her baby stay with her due to mental health issues.\nInstead, Children\u2019s Services approved her to live with my parents. My cousin and the baby moved in with them.\nMy cousin offered to spend several days a week at her mother\u2019s house to work on their relationship and then return to my parents.\nMy aunt refused this.\nShe also refuses to get mental health help for herself.\nAll this has divided our family, with everyone avoiding my aunt except my grandmother.\nShe\u2019s suggesting she sell her own home so she and my aunt can buy a home together. They\u2019ve lived together before and it never works out.\nMy grandmother\u2019s having major surgery soon and I\u2019m worried about the strain this situation puts on her health. I\u2019m also worried about the strain on my parents.\nHow should my family and I deal with my aunt? How do we talk my grandmother out of a bad living arrangement? What should my cousin do toward having a healthy relationship with her mother?\nUnhealthy Family Ties\nThere\u2019s no one package of right answers to resolve all these complicated issues. But there are some helpful approaches.\nEveryone involved must recognize that the new baby is the most vulnerable person of all, and that the most important issue is her well being and safety.\nSince your cousin accepts your parents\u2019 supervision, and is sticking with her treatment and medication, she\u2019s on the right path and needs as much family support as possible.\nYour parents need to be clear and consistent in their role.\nAnd, also be prepared to step in to get her to therapy and back on meds if she falters.\nYour aunt should not be their focus, or her daughter\u2019s at this time. It\u2019s important to keep her from interfering and messing up what\u2019s working.\nThis aunt is herself a woman living with chaos and creating more of it when she can. At some point, she may realize she needs therapy herself, or be forced by circumstances to get her own mental health help.\nMeanwhile, your parents (and you through phone contact) can try to use your grandmother\u2019s surgery as the reason she mustn\u2019t make any stressful moves.\nIf your cousin proves successful at looking after herself and her child, she may develop the confidence to have a relationship with her mother, with boundaries.\nWe met online, had two dates, and started having sex. I do all the planning and texting about getting together because he works two jobs and is very busy.\nHe doesn\u2019t always text back and mostly just lets me know when he\u2019s free after work. It\u2019s always late so he just comes over. We have sex and he stays awhile.\nHe told me he\u2019s not interested in a serious relationship at this time. I think he dates others. I\u2019m late-20s and really like him.\nHe keeps coming back, which makes me think he may change his mind about a relationship.\nI\u2019m not getting a picture of romantic progress from this account.\nHe\u2019s treating you like a booty call. And you\u2019re doing all the work of trying to keep up contact.\nBe unavailable for a while. If he comes after you, stay cool and suggest real dates. You hardly know each other out of bed.\nChaotic family relationships are unsafe for those who need support and protection.\n\u00ab Spooked over sex\nTalk about the elephant in the room \u00bb",

        "raw_content": "If a natural disaster such as a hurricane or a tornado is coming your way, it will inevitably cause a significant amount of damage, but at least you could have the chance to get out of harms way. But how would you evacuate in the event of a natural disaster from outer space, capable of wiping out entire species in a relatively short amount of time? Is the potential for an asteroid colliding with earth one of our planet\u2019s greatest threats?\n\u201cSooner or later we will get\u2026 a minor or major impact,\u201d says Rolf Densing, head of the European Space Operations Centre (ESOC) in Darmstadt, Germany. Densing explained that even though we may not be alive to see it happen, \u201cthe risk that Earth will get hit in a devastating event one day is very high.\u201d\nAsteroid sizes range from just a few millimeters to over 6 miles in length, which astrophysicists believe is the size of the space rock that wiped out the dinosaurs millions of years ago. What\u2019s worse is that if one of these gigantic asteroids were to enter Earth\u2019s atmosphere again, there\u2019s really nothing we would be able to do to stop it.\n\u201cWe are not ready to defend ourselves\u201d in the event that an asteroid begins falling towards our planet, said Densing. \u201cWe have no active planetary defense measures.\u201d\nWe know that the largest types of asteroids \u2013 the kind that are capable of wiping out all life on our planet \u2013 strike Earth about once every 100 million years. But even though we have a general idea of the impact frequency of these behemoth space rocks, there are still many things we don\u2019t know. How big will it be exactly? Will it wipe out all of humanity, or will there be survivors? And by the time a giant asteroid does begin falling towards Earth, will we have the technology to intercept it or destroy it?\nOver the past several years, NASA has been working on a program called the Planetary Defense Coordination Office, which locates objects in space, like asteroids, and issues warnings when an impact with Earth is possible (RELATED: NASA only has a 10 percent chance of detecting asteroids before they hit Earth.) Likewise, the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency is in the process of acquiring $450 million to send an advanced telescope into space in order to track giant space rocks that could potentially collide with our planet.\nBut studying and tracking asteroids near Earth is only half of the battle, because all of the data in the world wouldn\u2019t be able to stop one of these rocky behemoths from slamming into our world. We would still be faced with the task of either pushing the asteroid out of the way or blowing it to pieces.\nJason P. Dworkin of NASA\u2019s Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland says that the action taken to intercept an asteroid depends on certain factors, like how much time we have and the asteroid\u2019s shape. \u201cIf it was up to me, I would send a rocket with some titanium dioxide on it and paint it white, and have that Yarkovksy effect accelerate, and move it away from the Earth,\u201d Dworkin explained. He adds, \u201cIf you have something like 50 years, that could deflect it enough, and it might be a whole lot simpler than sending up nuclear weapons.\u201d\nGiven the numerous threats that we are already trying to deal with today, it\u2019s understandable that the potential of an asteroid hitting Earth is not something that is often discussed. However, it is important that we not only continue to track asteroids floating around in outer space, but also that we continue to develop new technology that one day could be used to save the human race.\nSource: Humanity is one asteroid impact away from being wiped out\nSolar Storm Sentries: Spacecraft at Mars, Saturn and More Spot Huge Sun Eruption (Video)\nNASA Finds Moon of Saturn Has Chemical That Could Form \u2018Membranes\u2019\nSnowstorms on Mars?\nHubble Finds \u2018Hot Jupiter\u2019 Exoplanet Has Glowing Atmosphere Of Water\nPartial lunar eclipse of August 7, 2017\nNews asteroid strike,asteroids,culture & society,earth impact,extinction event,Germany,NASA,natural disasters,population collapse,prepping,Rolf Densing,science,space,via bookmarklet",

        "raw_content": "2018\u2019s Best Cheap Web Hosting Service Providers\nWhen choosing a cheap web hosting service provider, a reliable uptime, good page load time, and secure customer support via email or live chat are the most important features. Read and discover the best cheap web hosting service providers for this year!\nSelecting a good web hosting service provider is really important, but let\u2019s face it \u2013 the price is important as well, especially if you are a beginner and you are starting out with a limited budget.\nA lot of people think that if you get a cheap web hosting, that automatically means that the service will be poor, the loading speed will be slow, and etc. Yes, you have to be careful as there are so many unreliable web hosting service providers out there, but that doesn\u2019t mean that you can\u2019t find a high-quality and cheap web hosting provider. You need a web hosting that is both fast and reliable. You need a secure web hosting, as this is the only way you can develop your website and move forward with your online business.\nIn this article, we are going to present you the best cheap web hosting service providers of 2018. Take a look at these hosting providers and decide which one suits your needs the most\u201d\nHostGator \u2013 This is one of the cheapest hosting service providers on the web. The monthly plan will cost you around $2.99 and with this plan, you will get free website transfer, 565 ms load time, and 99.9% uptime. They offer a pretty reliable web hosting and as you can see their prices are quite cheap as well. They offer a good support with an average response time of 2-3 minutes.\nHostinger \u2013 Another great cheap hosting service provider. The cheapest hosting plan will cost you around $2.15 per month and you will receive 475 ms load time and 99.8% uptime. While being one of the best and cheapest web hosting providers on the web, they offer great loading time, but the uptime is not so good. Great load times, low prices, and hopefully an improvement on uptimes is what makes Hostinger a great choice.\nBluehost \u2013 You probably are familiar with this popular hosting provider. They host more than 2 million websites and are known as the best options available for shared hosting. They offer great uptime or 99.98% and their average load time is 521ms. If compared with other cheap hosting plans out there such as HostMetro, your website will be 4 times faster. They are very beginner friendly and if this is your first time buying a hosting plan, you will be able to get a free domain from them. They offer 24/7/365 live chat customer support to all of their users. One downside of using this hosting provider is that the cheapest hosting plan only comes with 3-year commitment and cost $2.95. If you want to use their services for one year, you will have to pay $4.95 per month.\nMDDHosting \u2013 Offering professional services since 2006, this company knows a thing or two about running and managing a hosting server. The cheapest hosting plan is $2.55 and comes with 534 ms load time and 99.9% uptime.\nInMotion \u2013 InMotion is not a bad provider for the low price you pay.

The Union\u2019s president and vice-president were also accounted for the conduct. Fines totalize BRL 383 thousand.\nThe anticompetitive practice consisted of imposing a table with minimum prices to be charged for the provision of services of private security. The prices would have been settled based on an academic study developed by request of the Union. According to the entity, it would not be possible to charge lower prices than the ones suggested by the table.\nThe Administrative Proceeding no. 08700.000719/2008-21 began after the Union itself came to CADE to report the alleged practice of unfeasible prices by companies that took part in public bids in the State of S\u00e3o Paulo.\nHowever, along the analysis of the case, CADE detected that there were no anticompetitive practice by the companies. Nevertheless, the imposition of minimum prices by the Union was indeed an anticompetitive conduct.\nTo impose the table, the Union fined associates that did not adopt the established rates and also pursued the disqualification of proposals presented in public procurements with prices lower than the one in the table.\n\u201cThese attitudes evidenced a deviation in the function of the study, which could be only informative or statistical. In the hands of the Union, the study became an instrument of coercion and price fixing\u201d, stated the Reporting Commissioner, Alessandro Octaviani.\nThe Commissioner also highlighted that, by establishing a minimum price, the Union induced the increase of prices charged by the companies, and, consequently, of the cost of services to bidders.\nFiled under: anticompetitive practices, price fixing, sesvesp, condemnation, private security",

        "raw_content": "Auto Tool: Save | Print | E-mail\nGovt offers incentives to electric car buyers\nChina's first indigenous purely electric supermini car hit the market on Monday as part of a government-sponsored project to encourage the use of energy-saving vehicles.\nRoewe E50 buyers in Shanghai could save around 100,000 yuan ($16,000), thanks to government subsidies and an upcoming local policy waiving license plate fees, according to company sources.\nThe E50, a purely electric vehicle , is the result of three years' research and development by Shanghai Automotive Industry Corp, said Shen Ling, public relations manager of the company's new energy department.\nThe car applies advanced energy-saving and safety technologies to ensure zero emissions, she said.\nAlthough the new model officially retail s at 220,000-240,000 yuan, buyers may enjoy steep discounts as the government and automakers strive to promote new-energy vehicles.\nUnder a central government notice, a rebate of up to 60,000 yuan is offered on the purchase price to buyers of battery-powered cars, and the Shanghai municipal government is offering a subsidy of up to 40,000 yuan.\nA move which could give the sector a further shot in the arm is a policy due to be unveiled by the Shanghai authorities offering free license plates to owners of electric vehicles.\nAccording to Shen, the decision, which is subject to the approval of the National Development and Reform Commission , is likely to be implemented \"very soon\".\nOther than government incentives, auto manufacturers are seeking to drum up buyers' interest with value-added services.\nMeanwhile, SAIC is finalizing plans to offer discounts on group purchases by businesses, she added.\nShen said the company has set no sales targets for the new model. But SAIC chief engineer Ling Tianjun said in August that it expects to sell 1,000 vehicles next year.\nThe launch of the car on the retail market will be a step forward for new-energy vehicles in China, as the majority are currently owned by government bodies or used for public transportation.\nThe average energy conversion rate of electric vehicles is 46 percent higher than conventional cars, and they have the potential to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by up to 68 percent, said Raymond Tsang, a partner at Bain and Company.\nApart from purely battery-powered electric vehicles, hybrid cars, which run on a combination of batteries and conventional engines, are also popular as they are easier to operate, he said.\nChina's strategy to develop new energy cars has gained ground on many fronts, according to Wang Tianwei, policy director of the policy coordination department of Jiading Auto City in Shanghai.\nOn the policy front, the development of the electric vehicle industry has been a priority of the Ministry of Science and Technology for more than a decade.\nOn the regulatory front, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the National Development and Reform Commission have issued at least 20 regulations over the past decade to regulate and promote the wider use of hybrid and electric vehicles.\nThe target was to make the country a world leader in electric vehicles by putting 500,000 on the road by 2011.\nBut Wang said the deadline has been extended to 2015 as a result of technological constraints and a lack of policy coordination.\nBattery performance remains the greatest threat to the credibility of electric vehicles in motorists' eyes. Wang said Chinese companies still lag far behind their competito rs in the West in battery technology.\nA study conducted by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs said China holds just 1 percent of the total patent registrations for lithium ion batteries, while Japan owns 52 percent and the United States has 22 percent.\nThe other common concern is a lack of recharging stations, he said.\nSAIC has set up 1,170 recharging stations in Shanghai, but most of those are in suburban areas.\nTao Weishuo, a veteran motorist in Shanghai, said that despite all the incentives he was still reluctant to buy an electric vehicle.\n\"The shortage of recharging stations in the city center would limit where I could drive. What's the point of owning a car if it fails to take me anywhere I want?\"\nMore subsidies for electric vehicles in Shanghai [11-05-2012]\nElectric vehicle industry in the slow lane [10-26-2012]\nElectric vehicle sales likely to fall short of govt targets [10-25-2012]\nChina's electric cars lag behind in global race [10-23-2012]\nChinese entrepreneur to develop electric vehicles from Singapore [07-15-2012]",

        "title": "Layer Cake Federalism - Federalism in America",
        "raw_content": "While there has been little argument that the United States operates in a federal system\u2014one where the powers of government are divided between the federal government and the states\u2014the understanding of the nature and scope of that interaction has changed and evolved over time. Much of the study of federalism is concerned with understanding the different views of how the interaction occurs and the rules that govern the relationship.\nPrior to the 1930's, the popular conception of federalism was one where the roles of the federal and state governments were separate, distinct, and within their own spheres. This was referred to as \u201cdual federalism\u201d and was analogous to each government having its own layer, or sovereignty, in the larger system symbolized by a cake. Because of the analogy, the concept was referred to as \u201clayer cake federalism\u201d and rested on the proposition that federal and state governments have separate functions.\nThe primary source for this construct was the U.S. Constitution, which set forth a formal division of powers. Both state governments and the federal government derive their authority from the dictates of the Constitution, which separated out the governing powers and responsibilities. With each government having its own responsibilities, federalism was most easily understood in terms of these separate layers.\nYet, despite this simple conception of the workings of the federal system, in practice, the process of defining and delineating the scope of each government\u2019s authority into separate distinct and observable spheres or layers proved problematic. While it presented a clear and direct image of a federal system, layer cake federalism failed to describe the nature of governmental relationships in a society where government functions grew, expanded, and overlapped in unpredictable ways. Since both the federal government and the state government have their own sovereignty, they can often conflict with each other in a number of areas, including taxation, regulation, or law enforcement. The separate layers proved to be not as separate as they appeared.\nIn 1960, Morton Grodzins presented a new, more dynamic means to conceptualize the federal system. Grodzins suggested that the relationship between governments was not described by insulated layers or spheres, and suggested a new image. He proposed \u201cmarble cake federalism,\u201d a term first coined by Joseph E. McLean, as an attempt to view federalism in a more complex and interactive setting. It is a view of federalism that seeks to understand the relationship between the federal and state governments as one in which all jurisdictions of government are involved in various issues and policies rather than having formal lines of division.Layer cake federalism remains a useful means to explain the initial conceptual divisions in our federal system, especially in the infancy of the American constitutional system. Nonetheless, it is a limiting and restrictive view when understood against the more modern American political reality.\nMorton Grodzins, \u201cThe Federal System,\u201d in Goals for Americans (Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Prentice Hall, 1960).\nKevin M.

        "raw_content": "Scientists are baffled by mysterious galaxy that seems to be missing its dark matter\nFor David, he encountered several challenges when capturing the galactic-looking scenes on camera, from timing to Milky Way positioning, dish movement and ambient lighting, Bishop, California, April, 2017. (Getty Images)\nAstronomers have discovered a strange galaxy that is missing most, if not all, of its dark matter.\nThe absence of this mysterious stuff in NGC 1052-DF2, described Wednesday in the journal Nature, could shed light on galaxy formation and help scientists narrow down what dark matter actually is.\n\u201cParadoxically, not seeing the dark matter in this object is evidence that it exists,\u201d said lead author Pieter van Dokkum, an astronomer at Yale University.\nDark matter can\u2019t be seen or touched, but it outweighs all the normal matter in the universe by more than 5 to 1. Astronomers know it\u2019s there because of its gravitational influence, but they can\u2019t detect it any other way.\nUntil now, every known galaxy has been thought to be filled with dark matter, which forms a halo around its galactic host. Scientists think that clumps of dark matter were the gravitational seeds that actually allowed galaxies to form.\nDark matter also connects giant clusters of galaxies with thin tendrils, forming an enormous cosmic web that gives the universe its structure.\nGalaxies about the size of our Milky Way are thought to have around 30 times more dark matter than normal matter (that is, all the stuff that we can see, from stars and supernovas to planets and moons). For both smaller and larger galaxies, that share of dark matter rises even higher.\nTake NGC 1052-DF2, which covers about the same volume as the Milky Way but has about 200 times fewer stars and is thus much dimmer and less massive than our galactic home. Such large, dim, sparsely populated galaxies, called ultra-diffuse galaxies, are supposed to have around 300 times as much dark matter as they have normal matter, astronomers say.\nVan Dokkum and his colleagues were not looking for a dark-matter-deficient oddball when they started studying NGC 1052-DF2. In fact, a similar galaxy had been found that seemed to be made entirely of dark matter \u2014 and he\u2019d been hoping to find another one.\nThis large, fuzzy-looking galaxy is so diffuse that astronomers call it a \u00e2EURoesee-through\u00e2EUR\u009d galaxy because they can clearly see distant galaxies behind it. (Yale University)\nAstronomers figure out how much dark matter is in a galaxy by measuring the velocities at which objects inside it are traveling. The more mass there is, the faster that stars and star clusters go. But because there\u2019s so much dark matter in a galaxy, those stars will travel faster than can be explained by the normal matter we see. The faster they\u2019re moving, the more dark matter there must be.\nThe astronomers measured the speeds of 10 bright globular clusters within the galaxy to calculate how much dark matter there was. What they found shocked them: The clusters were hardly moving at all.\nThe ultra-diffuse galaxy at left is rich in globular clusters, which hold the key to understanding this mysterious object\u2019s origin and mass. On the right is a closer look at one of the globular clusters within the galaxy, all of which are much brighter than is typical.\nThat meant there was very little, if any, dark matter in this galaxy. At most, there was about two-thirds as much dark matter in this galaxy as normal matter. There could potentially be none. Either way, that\u2019s at least 400 times less dark matter than would be expected.\nIt\u2019s unclear how this ultra-diffuse galaxy developed without dark matter. Perhaps it formed from the gas flung out as two other galaxies merged. Perhaps it formed from the gases swept up by quasar winds. Or perhaps its growth was influenced by a massive galaxy nearby.\nNone of these ideas is a perfect fit for the evidence, van Dokkum said. In any case, the findings show that galaxies do not necessarily require dark matter. And ironically, the fact that the dark matter is missing actually helps establish that it exists.\nThat\u2019s because some scientists have been arguing in recent years that dark matter is not really there \u2014 that it\u2019s simply a change in the laws of gravity that we don\u2019t understand.\nBut if that were the case, this effect would have to be everywhere, all the time. The fact that there appears to be almost no dark matter in NGC 1052-DF2 shows that the two don\u2019t always go hand in hand \u2014 and that dark matter must be stuff, not just a tweak in the rules of nature.\n\u201cIt does show fundamentally that galaxies and dark matter are separable \u2014 that a galaxy does not always have dark matter,\u201d van Dokkum said. \u201cIt may mean there are places in the early universe where you had a lot of gas but not a lot of dark matter, and that\u2019s something we hadn\u2019t expected.\u201d\nStill, van Dokkum pointed out, his study was based only on the movements of the 10 globular clusters in this galaxy because those were all that were available.

Her Chinese name is Sui Yuanjing. She started ballroom and Latin dancing four years ago and was partnered earlier this year with Francis, who lives in the English county of Shropshire.\nThe two were friends before they performed together and Kerry said their friendship is one of the best things about her dancing partnership with Francis.\nTheir hard work, under the guidance of teachers Laura O'Brien and David and Helen Truman, meant Kerry and Francis have seen quite a lot of success.\n\"When Francis is stressed, I can calm him down, because he hasn't really been in many big competitions, such as the nationals and internationals,\" Kerry said. \"My mum said I have to guide him.\"\nFrancis said Kerry has a positive attitude and described her as always remaining upbeat.\nAnd they both have a dance that they like the least: the tango.\n\"The tango is like an angry dance, you have to be sharp,\" Kerry said.\nThe dancers often visit each other's families and describe their friendship and their teachers' involvement as like being in a big family. She said a visit to China put a strain on the close bonds.\n\"I was in China for six weeks and there was a dance studio there where I would practice, but I felt lonely,\" Kerry said.\nFrancis described the time they spent apart as \"horrible\".\nKerry and Francis were training on Saturday in Wolverhampton, a city in England's West Midlands region, in advance of a competition in Stoke-on-Trent on Sunday. The event was cancelled due to the heavy snowfall across parts of the United Kingdom.\nThe pair head to Italy in January for a competition, before jetting off to China to appear on a TV show.",

Therefore social structure improvement is needed to deal with the expansion of urban population.\n\"In (Chinese) leadership's minds, they want to find solutions to growth, aiming to establish a strong country,\" Brown said.\n\"A big achievement by former Chinese leaders Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao is economic growth,\" he told the forum.\nTo keep the momentum of development, Li proposed to increase domestic consumption and improve the development of service sector so as to address the structural problems, but above all he talked about urbanization, Brown said.\nErnest Caldwell, lecturer in Chinese law from the School of Law with the University of London, has been studying the Chinese legal system for over ten years.\n\"I saw good developments since the reform and opening-up,\" he told Xinhua, taking the revision of criminal law and criminal procedure law as examples.\nAfter Chinese President Xi Jinping and Premier Li took office, Caldwell added, \"there is increasing discourse of the rule of law.\"\nAt the mean time, he saw growing right consciousness from grassroots.\nCaldwell especially talked about the constitution, which the Chinese leaders used against corruption and the ordinary people used to protect their individual interest.\nHowever, he noticed that legal reform is still a challenge for the Chinese leaders. \"We need to see how the constitution better utilized and ... how steps are taken with big issues, such as Hukou (household registration system) reform,\" he said.\nHe praised the emphasis of rule of law at the Third Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, but noting it takes time to see the progress.",

If a foreign teacher breaks the Chinese laws, they are subject to Chinese punishment, incarceration, and/or deportation, depending on the infraction.\nIn most cases, embassies are powerless to help the teacher in trouble other than notify family and act as consultant. Breaking Chinese regulations can be as small as not having your Residency Permit in a timely manner (fine is involved) to being involved in a traffic accident where the blame is put on the foreigner (large fines, possible incarceration, probably deportation depending on the circumstances). The foreign teachers should realize that any infraction in their own country is probably an infraction in China.\nForeigners should not participate in any political gatherings and should be aware that underground churches are monitored. Participation can be perceived as breaking the law and arrest can follow. Proselytizing is also not allowed, in or out of the classroom.\nIf a teacher of Chinese background enters China using only an ID card, they are treated as a Chinese citizen in cases of breaking the law. The embassies have no jurisdiction over that person, even if a citizen of another nation.\nIf there are questions concerning specific regulations, these should be discussed with the school/institution foreign affairs officer.\n\u00b7Chinese parasol gray to be Nanjing's chief color\n\u00b7Chinese and foreign students experience intangible cultural heritages in Nanjing\n\u00b7Chinese character for \"dragon\" seen amid rape flowers in SW China\n\u00b7Chinese leaders attend opening meeting of 5th session of 12th CPPCC National Committee\n\u00b7Chinese bike-share service to hit UK",

        "title": "Ethics and Religion: August 12, 2015: Column 1772: How To Reduce Teen Driving Deaths",
        "raw_content": "How To Reduce Teen Driving Deaths\nWe regularly read headlines like this: \"2 Teens Killed When Car Smashes Into Tree.\" They had been at a party with underage drinking, and beer cans, still cool to the touch, were in the car's wreckage.\nThe teens who died were in the backseat without their seatbelts on: Calvin Jia-Xing Li, 18, an outstanding wide receiver on his high school football team and Alexander Murk. Joseph Ellis, the 18-year-old driver, was a star quarterback, who broke the state record with 557 passing yards in one game. He was seriously injured but survived.\n\"They were all really good kids, great athletes,\" said Monica Lewis, whose son played football with them. \"And they all had really promising futures. They were all headed to college.\"\nWhen police arrived at the home where the party had occurred, a parent answered the door. Several teenagers were cited for underage alcohol possession.\nWhat's wrong with this picture? Parents should not be hosting parties where alcoholic beverages are served to minors. In fact, Maryland has a \"Social Host Law\" to prosecute parents or homeowners permitting parties with underage drinking. They are indirectly responsible for the deaths of those two teenagers. However, to date, six weeks later, no parent has been charged. Why not?\nThree weeks later was another headline: \"Teen Driver in Fatal Crash Allegedly Reached 119 MPH.\" The driver, Austin Donovan Hall, lost control of the car in a 35 mph zone in Olney, MD. Shawn Gangloff, 15, was ejected and died. Another passenger, Max Dechter, 17, was severely injured. Hall pleaded guilty to a charge of vehicular manslaughter in Gangloff's death and a charge of causing a life-threatening injury (to Dechter) while driving impaired by alcohol.\nProsecutors said that Hall's blood-alcohol level was .11 when he was tested at 4 a.m., hours after the accident at 1:30 a.m. on August 30. His attorney said he pled guilty because he wanted to take responsibility to honor and respect the families.\nDechter was hospitalized for five weeks and was in a rehabilitation hospital for five more months. His neck was fractured and an elbow shattered. He also suffered traumatic brain injury that required him to have to learn to eat and walk again. \"I had to relearn everything,\" he said. He was wearing a seatbelt which saved his life.\n\"We want a message sent to the community that you have to be accountable for your actions,\" said Alison Gangloff, the driver's mother. What good will that do if guilty parents are not charged? (In the Olney accident parents weren't charged because they were out of the country.)\nMax Dechter said his message to other teens would be not to get in a car with a driver who has been drinking: \"It puts others at danger and yourself at danger.\"\n2,524 teenagers aged 13-19 died in motor vehicle crashes in 2013 . Such crashes are the leading cause of death for U.S. teens. Some 44% of those deaths were to passengers, not drivers. Teens also cause an astounding number of injuries \u2013 292,000 were treated in hospital emergency rooms. Young people aged 15-24 are 14% of the population, but account for 30% ($19 billion) of the total costs of vehicle injuries by males and 28% of those among females.\nThe only good news is that the number of teen deaths is 71% fewer than in 1975 when 8,748 teens were killed. There were even 11% fewer than 2012.\nThere are three major reasons for the decline in teen deaths. First, seatbelt use by drivers rose from only 14% in 1983 to 42% for teen drivers (and 87% for adults). Second, 71% fewer teens had blood alcohol content (BAC) at or above .08 percent in 2013 than in 1982.\nThird, all states now have \"Graduated Licensing Laws\" that restrict teen driving to some degree. First, teens have a learner's permit, allowing them to drive only with adult supervision for some months. Stage two allows unsupervised driving, but kids must be home by 11 p.m. or midnight. Only New Jersey requires teens to be age 17 to drive.\nI asked what the impact would be if all states required age 17. \"It would have a sweeping effect,\" said a spokesman for the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.\nParents: why don't you require your teen to be 17? And home by 11?\nMy wife and I told our sons they could not drive until age 17, and they had to pay part of their insurance costs, and had a curfew. We told them about our rules years in advance.\nNone had an accident.",

        "raw_content": "So far we have discussed the original goals of WEP and given an overview of the design and use of keys. Now we will look in much more detail at the way in which WEP is implemented. You need to understand where the weaknesses of WEP arise.\nWe are used to using the telephone. There was a time when all telephones looked the same. This was partly due to the monopoly of the telephone companies but probably was also due to the need for people who had not grown up with telephones to feel comfortable with the user interface they had learned. Today, telephones are part of our psyche. We can handle phones in any shape or size as naturally as catching a ball or walking on unfamiliar ground. We pick up the phone, dial the number, and talk to the other person with little effort. We don't care about the many complicated processes that occur between our lips and the ear of the receiver (that sounds a bit weird. but we're talking about electronic processes). A similar situation has evolved for application programs. There was a time when a programmer needed to know about the details of the network protocols and hardware that were used for communication. Today, the operating systems environment allows application programs to make a connection and communicate data with ease and without knowledge of the network implementation.\nIf a network includes a Wi-Fi LAN link, data from the operating system or a driver needs to pass to the IEEE 802.11 MAC service layer. In other words, a packet of data arrives at the Wi-Fi LAN with instructions to send it out. This packet of data is called an MSDU (MAC service data unit). If things go well, this MSDU will eventually pop out of the MAC service layer on the destination device and be passed to the operating system or driver for delivery to the target application. Before it reaches the radio for transmission, however, the MSDU may be broken up into several smaller pieces, a process called fragmentation. Each fragment is processed for WEP encryption. A MAC header is added to the front and a checkword added to the end.\nYou can see that the original MSDU may now be spread across several smaller messages and have had more bytes added on?quite apart from the fact that it will now be encrypted. Each one of the smaller messages is called an MPDU (MAC protocol data unit). We'll look at the last few stages, during which an MPDU encounters the encryption process.\nThe process treats the data as a block of unformatted bytes; the size depends on the original MSDU contents and the fragmentation settings. It is typically in the range of 10?1,500 bytes. The first step in encryption is to add some bytes called the integrity check value (ICV).\nIntegrity Check Value (ICV)\nThe idea behind the ICV is to prevent anyone from tampering with the message in transit. In both encrypted and unencrypted messages, a check is made to detect whether any bits have been corrupted during transmission. All the bytes in the message are combined in a result called the CRC (cyclic redundancy check). This 4-byte value is added on to the end of the frame immediately prior to processing for transmission. Even if a single bit in the message is corrupted, the receiving device will notice that the CRC value does not match and reject the message. While this detects accidental errors, it provides no protection from intentional errors because an attacker can simply recompute the CRC value after altering the message and ensure that it matches again.\nICV is similar to the CRC except that it is computed and added on before encryption. The conventional CRC is still added after encryption. The theory is that, because the ICV is encrypted, no attacker can recompute it when attempting to modify the message. Therefore, the message is rendered tamper-proof. Er\u2026 well, only in theory, as we'll see shortly that clever people found a loophole. For now, let's suppose it works as intended.\nSo the ICV is computed by combining all the data bytes to create a four-byte checkword. This is then added on the end, as shown in Figure 6.7.\nFigure 6.7. Adding the ICV\nPreparing the Frame for Transmission\nAfter the ICV is appended, the frame is ready for encryption. First, the system must select an IV value and append it to the secret WEP key (as indicated by the active key selection). Next, it initializes the RC4 encryption engine. Finally it passes each byte from the combined data and ICV block into the encryption engine. For each byte going in, an encrypted byte comes out until all the bytes are processed. This is a stream cipher.\nFor the receiver to know how to decrypt the message, the key number and IV value must be put on the front of the message. Four bytes are added for this purpose. The first three bytes contain the 24-bit IV value and the last byte contains the KeyID number 0, 1, 2, or 3, as shown in Figure 6.8.\nFigure 6.8. Adding the IV and KeyID bits\nFinally, the MAC header is attached and the CRC value placed at the end to detect transmission errors. A bit in the MAC header indicates to the receiver that the frame is WEP encrypted so that it knows how to handle it.\nThe receive process follows logically. The receiver notes that the WEP bit is set and therefore reads and stores the IV value. It then reads the key ID bits so it can select the correct WEP key, append the IV value, and initialize the RC4 encryption engine. Notice that with RC4 there is no difference between the encryption and decryption processes. If you run the data through the encryption process twice, you get back to the original data?in other words, the second encryption cancels out the first. Therefore, you need only one engine for both encryption and decryption. After the encryption engine is initialized, the data is run through one byte at a time to reveal the original message. The final step is to compute the ICV and verify that the value matches that in the received message. If all is well, the data portion is passed up for further processing.\nRC4 is the name of the encryption algorithm used by WEP. An encryption algorithm is just a set of operations that you apply to plaintext to generate ciphertext. Obviously it is not helpful unless there is a corresponding decryption algorithm. In the case of RC4, the same algorithm is used for encryption and decryption. The value of an encryption algorithm lies partly in how strong it is and partly in how easy it is to implement. The strength of an algorithm is measured by how hard it is to crack the ciphertext. There certainly are stronger methods than RC4. However, RC4 is remarkably simple to implement and considered to be very strong if used in the right way. This last point is important because we will see all the weakness of WEP later, and those weaknesses do not derive from faults in RC4, but in the way it is applied in the case of WEP.\nRC4[2] is a proprietary stream cipher designed in 1987. While the algorithm has received a great deal of public attention, RSA Labs, Inc. regards the description of the algorithm as a trade secret. Implementers should consult RSA Labs about this issue. However, the algorithm was reverse-engineered and made public anonymously in 1994.\n[2] RC4 stands for the fourth cipher designed by Ron Rivest (Rivest Cipher 4).\nFortunately, because RC4 is simple to implement, it is also simple to describe. The basic idea behind RC4 encryption is to generate a pseudorandom sequence of bytes called the key stream that is then combined with the data using an exclusive OR (XOR) operation. For those not familiar with the XOR operation, it combines two bytes and generates a single byte. It does this by taking and comparing corresponding bits in each byte. If they are equal, the result is 0; if they differ, the result is 1. An example is shown in Figure 6.9.\nFigure 6.9. XOR Operation\nXOR is often written mathematically using the symbol \" \" so the example shown in the figure would be written:\n00110101  11100011 = 11010110\nOne important characteristic of XOR is that if you apply the same value twice, the original value is returned:\nIn other words, if A B = C, then C B = A. You might guess that in the case of RC4, this property is exploited as follows:\nEncryption: Plaintext  Random = Ciphertext\nDecryption: Ciphertext  Random = Plaintext\nIt is necessary that \"random\" looks random to an attacker but that both ends of the link can generate the same \"random\" value for each byte processed. It is therefore called pseudorandom and is generated by the RC4 algorithm.\nThe most important property of a pseudorandom key stream is that you can calculate the next byte in the sequence only if you know the key used to generate the stream. If you don't know the key, it really looks random. Note that the XOR operation completely hides the plaintext values. Even if the plaintext is just a long series of 0 values, the ciphertext still looks random to an attacker.\nXOR is a trivially easy operation for a computer to implement so the only challenge is to generate a good pseudorandom number stream. You need one pseudorandom byte for each byte of the message to be encrypted. RC4 generates such a stream.\nThere are two phases in RC4: key setup and pseudo-random generation. The first phase, the key setup algorithm, establishes a 256-byte array with a permutation of the numbers 0?255; that is, all the numbers are present in the array but the order is mixed up. The permutation in the array, or S-box, is established by first initializing the array with the numbers 0?255 in order. The elements in the S-box are then rearranged through the following process. First, a second 256-byte array, or K-box, is filled with the key, repeating as needed to fill the array. Now each byte in the S-box is swapped with another byte in the S-box. Starting at the first byte, the following computation is made:\nj = (Value in first byte of S-box ) + (Value in first byte of K-box)\nj is a single byte value and any overflow in the addition is ignored.\nNow j is used as an index into the S-box and the value at that location is swapped with the value in the first location.\nThis procedure is repeated another 255 times until each byte in the S-box has been swapped. The process is described by the following pseudocode for people familiar with programming:\nFor i = 0 to 255 do\nj = (j + Si + Ki) mod 256;\nSwap Si and Sj;\nOnce the S-box has been initialized, the next phase in RC4 is the pseudorandom generation phase. This phase involves more swapping of bytes in the S-box and generates one pseudorandom byte per iteration (R). The equations for the iterations are shown here.\ni = (i + 1) mod 256\nj = (j + Si) mod 256\nSwap Si and Sj\nk = (Si + Sj) mod 256\nR = Sk\nTo generate the ciphertext, each byte of plaintext is XORed with a value of R as produced by the RC4 algorithm. Notice how the whole process has been done using byte length additions and swaps?very easy operations for computer logic.\nTheoretically, RC4 is not a completely secure encryption system because it generates a pseudorandom key stream, not truly random bytes. But it's certainly sufficiently secure for our application, if applied correctly to the protocol.\nUsing XOR in this way is similar to a Vernam cipher (Vernam, 1926). Gilvert Vernam developed this cipher during World War I while working for AT&T. However, it is only completely secure if R is a true random byte (Menenez et al., 1996). What constitutes a true random byte is a philosophical debate we won't open here. But suppose that you generated a huge table of random numbers by sampling cosmic noise or some genuinely random physical event rather than using a pseudorandom algorithm such as in RC4. You could use your random numbers by sending a secret copy to your friend for use with the Vernam cipher. This has the advantage that the numbers are truly random and known to both ends of the link. This approach is very secure, but you would be allowed to use the table only once. Then you would have to eat it or otherwise dispose of it?it is a one-time pad. Ensuring that a one-time pad system is completely secure requires never reusing the same series of random bytes twice. Because the former Soviet Union made this serious mistake following World War II, the American National Security Agency (NSA) was able to decrypt a number of enciphered messages sent by Soviet agents in a project code named VENONA (U.S. NSA, 1999).",

        "raw_content": "Nina Shtanski: \u201cWe Don\u2019t Negotiate with Moldova on the Status of Transnistria or Any Other Political Constructions\u201d\nBy Artiom Buzila\nIn Germany, in the city of Rottach-Egern, another round of multilateral talks was held with the participation of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Moldova Vlad Filatov and the President of non-recognized Transnistria Moldovan Republic (TMR) Eugen \u0218evciuk, as well as European, American, Russian and Ukrainian intermediaries. The parties, involved into solution of a long-standing Transnistria conflict, including western ones, expressed satisfaction with establishment of the dialogue between official Kishinev and Tiraspol. \u201cPolitcom.Ru\u201d talked to the TRM Foreign Affairs Minister Nina Shtanski on the prospects of Transnistria conflict regulation and on new foreign doctrine of Transnistrian government.\nRelaxation of relations between Moldova and breakaway Transnistria region yet a few years ago, probably, was observed as science-fiction. Nevertheless, with coming of a new team headed by the President Eugen \u0218evciuk to power, the situation has significantly changed. Only for one and a half year of being the President \u0218evciuk has already three times met Moldovan government represented by the prime Minister Filat, by this, another fourth meeting shall be held already in July in Vienna.\n- Dear Nina Victorovna, thank you for the time you give to answer the questions of \u201cPolitcom.Ru\u201d. President \u0218evciuk, whose team you represent, has been at power in Transnistria already for almost half a year. Many politicians, experts, reporters of Europe as well as from the CIS, consider that the newly elected head of Transnistria shall manage to move the Moldovan-Transnistrian conflict from a dead point. Which is the difference in this issue of \u0218evciuk and his team from the old power represented by Igor Smirnov?\n- Let me thank your resource for the interest to the issue of regulation of Transnistria-Moldova relations. I\u2019ve read your resource for a long time and I already answered some questions of \u201cPolitcom\u201d. As for the views that we\u2019ll manage to move the conflict from a dead-end, I would allow myself answer with the words of Eugen \u0218evciuk himself, sounded during one briefing: \u201cI treat the progress noted in the process of regulation with restrained optimism\u201d. Yet heading the Supreme Council of Transnistria \u0218evciuk constantly repeated, that there is no alternative to talks and all disagreements should find their solution only by negotiations. It is not surprising, that during his inauguration speech he noted the need to focus on development of good neighbor relations, and after a few months in his address to state bodies the President gave the corresponding orders in this direction.\n> Map of Transnistria\nToday talks process is in a quite active phase. With our negotiation partners we focused on solution of social-economic issues, solution of old problems. We hold dialogue at all levels simultaneously. It is the level of expert groups, where the specialists of various spheres together search for possible solutions and mutually acceptable mechanisms of accomplishment of earlier reached agreements. By the way there are a bit less than two hundred of them accumulated for the years of negotiating. At diplomatic level we\u2019ve resumed official talks at the level of political representatives in the format \u201c5+2\u201d, during the two rounds held this year we\u2019ve managed to agree on the principles and procedures of negotiating and agenda. We maintain and promote contacts at the top level.\n- Dmitry Rogozin was appointed a special representative of the Kremlin to Transnistria \u2013 the person having the reputation of a pretty hard and in many cases intransigent political and statesman. What does the TRM counts on from the kind of appointment?\n- Dmitry Olegovich is a talented, experienced and, I won\u2019t afraid to use the word, meticulous diplomat, professional. Already after his appointment, he actively joined the work within Transnistria direction, despite top position and wide range of other, not related to Transnistria regulation authorities and duties. The work he arranged already today gives Transnistrian people tangible results. Without doubts, his diplomatic experience within, to put it mildly, complicated directions shall contribute a lot also into the process of Transnistria regulation. Except for that, Dmitry Olegovich co-chairs at Russian-Moldovan Intergovernmental Commission. And I am sure that his active involvement into this work shall assist searching of constructive solutions, including also, those directly touching upon the interests of Russian people, living in Transnistria.\n- Another question regarding Russia. It\u2019s understood that Russia helps Transnistria economically and politically and this aid is priceless for Transnistrian people. On the other hand, officially Moscow still keeps to the line of territorial integrity of the Republic of Moldova. This was, by the way, confirmed by Putin in his decree \u201cOn measures to accomplish foreign political course of the Russian Federation\u201d right after his taking the post...\n- Help is really priceless. Starting from guarantee functions, performing which Russia in fact assures preservation of peace and stability along the banks of Dniester, and finishing with significant and very demanded in terms of the most complicated social-economic situation humanitarian, financial aid to Transnistria. Specified by you official line has been persistent during many years, and it was once again noted in the newly published decree. But today we don\u2019t have talks with Moldova on the status of Transnistria or any other political constructions. The cornerstone is the solution of practical troubles at both banks, and here the role of Russia is pretty significant.\n- Which role does Ukraine play today within Moldovan-Transnistrian regulation? Is it a supporter of your country? During the Presidency of Yushchenko the attitude towards official Tiraspol wasn\u2019t really pleasant, now by Yanukovych, at least, represented by the acting Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Grishchenko, it seems that the situation is changing. Could you please comment on this issue?\n- Yet in 1995, in July of 1995, during the negotiations the parties to conflict expressed their intention to support and strengthen the status of intermediaries. With the adopted Treaty on Peacekeeping and Security guarantees between the Republic of Moldova and Transnistria the parties addressed to the Russian Federation, Ukraine and the OSCE with a favor to become the guarantors of the treaty. The Russian Federation and Ukraine expressed their readiness to perform within the regulation process the function of states-guarantors and the Presidents of these states sig\u0442ed a joined statement in Moscow on January 19th, 1996. The both states at the moment are the key actors of regulation, their role is the leading one which is conditioned with a number of geopolitical factors, as well as the circumstance that about 100 000 citizens of Ukrainians and about 170 000 of Russian people live in Transnistria, which comprises more than half of the republic\u2019s population.\nI would say that in general many pretty various factors influence the policy of Ukraine within Moldovan-Transnistrian conflict. They include existence of territorial disputes between Ukraine and Moldova, as well as partner relations with Moldova within the frameworks of international organizations and programs; a number of difficulties within Ukrainian-Romanian relations; actively developing Ukrainian-Russian dialogue; Ukrainian course at European integration and others.\nActive participation of Ukraine within regulation of Moldovan-Transnistrian conflict, to my mind, is a good space for enhancement of international authority of Ukraine, especially considering the oncoming in 2013 chairmanship of Ukraine in the OSCE. The last one, I guess, can give Ukraine additional opportunities to make its contribution into the regulation.\n- What is the target goal of Tiraspol during the oncoming international talks on Transnistria in July in Vienna?\n- They want to find new decisions for old problems, first of all. Or, at least, to reach development of a common approach to the solution of a number of those. In course of the past round we managed finally to agree on the documents, defining the principles and procedures of talks, to agree on talks agenda. The approved document wasn\u2019t signed. It\u2019s what we have to do. However, there are circumstances, which make us to treat this work more precisely. I mean those interpretations, which were made by officials of Moldova towards the agreed principle of equality during talks.\nLet me explain. As the participants of the format \u201c5+2\u201d have different statuses \u2013 the EU and the USA possess the status of observers, then the named principle was agreed on with the corresponding exception together with the reference on specific documents, defining the given status. Thus, this document not only doesn\u2019t change the status of observers and doesn\u2019t extend their authorities, but also doesn\u2019t allow to do this at all, within the frameworks of the mentioned negotiation process. Additionally, by the initiative of Transnistrian party we wrote in the document literary all the participants. \u201cThe participants of the \u201cPermanent Council\u201d are the parties \u2013 the Republic of Moldova and Transnistria, intermediaries \u2013 the Russian Federation, Ukraine and the OSCE, and also the observers \u2013 the European Union and the United States of America\u201d, - which is specified in the document. This allows giving a direct answer on the question, who the parties in the negotiation process are. And these are exactly Moldova and Transnistria with no exceptions. Unfortunately, despite this, as it seems absolute clearness, Moldovan interpretations intensively spread by the Mass Media, confused seriously everybody along the both banks of Dniester. This obliges us to proceed working with the documents during the oncoming Vienna round. Now we have to discuss the situation, work out specifying wordings and to find the form to fix them. I really hope in addition for fruitful work within the frameworks of the so-called social-economic basket of negotiation agenda.\n- Is the format 5+2 still efficient? Or it has exhausted itself?\n- I have no doubts that none of the actors involved into the process of regulation doubts the efficiency of this format. I consider a great achievement of the intermediaries, and especially Russian diplomacy, that in the end of the last year ,after a long break official rounds in the format \u201c5+2\u201d were resumed. Today Political Council is the only efficient negotiation mechanism at the moment. Someone can object saying that even in the format \u201c1+1\u201d the parties manage to discuss the issues and even solve some of them. Indeed, but yet such format is not stable, it hasn\u2019t yet revealed its efficacy. Contacts and their number not always synchronize with quality and results. Although, naturally, this is what we strive for. Important also is that \u201c5+2\u201d is a multilateral complex negotiation format, within the frameworks of which the EU and the USA can officially participate in discussion of the issues on the course of Moldovan-Transnistrian relations regulation. We shouldn\u2019t however forget that this configuration has repeatedly attempted to be transformed, and since 2004 when Moldova for the first time suggested to exclude Transnistria from this format, the idea has been repeatedly presented to include into the format Romania and to enhance the role of the EU to the status of intermediary (equally to the OSCE).\nAt some moment the negotiation process practically fell to the level of quasi-talks with the use of imitation strategy. As more than 170 treaties concluded within the frames of talks process were not observed, but by this the parties still do not withdraw their signatures. This affects definitely the whole format, compromises it. Today the process has gained a new impulse. A new negotiations agenda is being developed, within the frameworks of which the first role is granted to the issues of practical interaction on social-economic sphere. Except for that, the parties have agreed on the principle that by working out new decisions earlier achieved agreements shall be considered, as well as they agreed on obligatory observance of the treaties. Important is that now by development of decisions and treaties the parties shall define the mechanisms to assure their accomplishment.\n- You are already experienced official, moreover considering your young age. Would you like to make a party carrier simultaneously? Considering that the power in any country should ground on this or that organization-party structure. As earlier you held one of the leading roles in the organization \u201cRevival\u201d, which today has transformed into the Presidential political party.\n- Today I have no plans to make a party career. Many of my colleagues, friends are the members of \u2018Revival\u201d. I share the approaches of the party towards reforms of economy and optimization of the system of state management. The Transnistrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs actively promotes its interaction with the institutions of civil society in various forms, and I\u2019m sure that they with develop this dialogue also with parties.",

        "title": "European Commission - PRESS RELEASES - Press release - Commission presents White Paper on the future of Europe: Avenues for unity for the EU at 27",
        "raw_content": "As announced in President Juncker's 2016 State of the Union speech, the European Commission today presented a White Paper on the Future of Europe, which forms the Commission's contribution to the Rome Summit of 25 March 2017.\nAs we prepare to mark the 60th anniversary of the EU, we look back on a peace spanning seven decades and on an enlarged Union of 500 million citizens living in freedom in one of the world's most prosperous economies. At the same time, the EU has to look forward at how it will carve a vision for its own future at 27. The White Paper sets out the main challenges and opportunities for Europe in the coming decade. It presents five scenarios for how the Union could evolve by 2025 depending on how it chooses to respond.\nEuropean Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said: \"60 years ago, Europe's founding fathers chose to unite the continent with the force of the law rather than with armed forces. We can be proud of what we have achieved since then. Our darkest day in 2017 will still be far brighter than any spent by our forefathers on the battlefield. As we mark the 60th anniversary of the Treaties of Rome, it is time for a united Europe of 27 to shape a vision for its future. It's time for leadership, unity and common resolve. The Commission's White Paper presents a series of different paths this united EU at 27 could choose to follow. It is the start of the process, not the end, and I hope that now an honest and wide-ranging debate will take place. The form will then follow the function. We have Europe's future in our own hands.\"\nThe White Paper looks at how Europe will change in the next decade, from the impact of new technologies on society and jobs, to doubts about globalisation, security concerns and the rise of populism. It spells out the choice we face: being swept along by those trends, or embracing them and seizing the new opportunities they bring. Europe's population and economic weight is falling as other parts of the world grow. By 2060, none of our Member States will account for even 1% of the world's population \u2013 a compelling reason for sticking together to achieve more. A positive global force, Europe's prosperity will continue to depend on its openness and strong links with its partners.\nThe White Paper sets out five scenarios, each offering a glimpse into the potential state of the Union by 2025 depending on the choices Europe will make (see Annex). The scenarios cover a range of possibilities and are illustrative in nature. They are neither mutually exclusive, nor exhaustive.\nScenario 1: Carrying On - The EU27 focuses on delivering its positive reform agenda in the spirit of the Commission's New Start for Europe from 2014 and of the Bratislava Declaration agreed by all 27 Member States in 2016. By 2025 this could mean:\nEuropeans can drive automated and connected cars but can encounter problems when crossing borders as some legal and technical obstacles persist.\nEuropeans mostly travel across borders without having to stop for checks. Reinforced security controls mean having to arrive at airports and train stations well in advance of departure.\nScenario 2: Nothing but the Single Market \u2013 The EU27 is gradually re-centred on the single market as the 27 Member States are not able to find common ground on an increasing number of policy areas. By 2025 this could mean:\nCrossing borders for business or tourism becomes difficult due to regular checks. Finding a job abroad is harder and the transfer of pension rights to another country not guaranteed. Those falling ill abroad face expensive medical bills.\nEuropeans are reluctant to use connected cars due to the absence of EU-wide rules and technical standards.\nScenario 3: Those Who Want More Do More \u2013 The EU27 proceeds as today but allows willing Member States to do more together in specific areas such as defence, internal security or social matters. One or several \"coalitions of the willing\" emerge. By 2025 this could mean that:\n15 Member States set up a police and magistrates corps to tackle cross-border criminal activities. Security information is immediately exchanged as national databases are fully interconnected.\nConnected cars are used widely in 12 Member States which have agreed to harmonise their liability rules and technical standards.\nScenario 4: Doing Less More Efficiently - The EU27 focuses on delivering more and faster in selected policy areas, while doing less where it is perceived not to have an added value. Attention and limited resources are focused on selected policy areas. By 2025 this could mean\nA European Telecoms Authority will have the power to free up frequencies for cross-border communication services, such as the ones used by connected cars. It will also protect the rights of mobile and Internet users wherever they are in the EU.\nA new European Counter-terrorism Agency helps to deter and prevent serious attacks through a systematic tracking and flagging of suspects.\nScenario 5: Doing Much More Together \u2013 Member States decide to share more power, resources and decision-making across the board. Decisions are agreed faster at European level and rapidly enforced. By 2025 this could mean:\nEuropeans who want to complain about a proposed EU-funded wind turbine project in their local area cannot reach the responsible authority as they are told to contact the competent European authorities.\nConnected cars drive seamlessly across Europe as clear EU-wide rules exist. Drivers can rely on an EU agency to enforce the rules.\nThe White Paper is the European's Commission contribution to the Rome Summit, the moment when the EU will discuss its achievements of the past 60 years but also its future at 27. The White Paper marks the beginning of a process for the EU27 to decide on the future of their Union. To encourage this debate, the European Commission, together with the European Parliament and interested Member States, will host a series of 'Future of Europe Debates' across Europe's cities and regions.\nThe European Commission will contribute to the debate in the months to come with a series of reflection papers on:\ndeveloping the social dimension of Europe;\ndeepening the Economic and Monetary Union, on the basis of the Five Presidents' Report of June 2015;\nharnessing globalisation;\nthe future of Europe's defence ;\nthe future of EU finances.\nLike the White Paper, the reflection papers will offer different ideas, proposals, options or scenarios for Europe in 2025 without presenting definitive decisions at this stage.\nPresident Juncker's State of the Union speech in September 2017 will take these ideas forward before first conclusions could be drawn at the December 2017 European Council. This will help to decide on a course of action to be rolled out in time for the European Parliament elections in June 2019.\nSixty years ago, inspired by a dream of a peaceful, common future, the EU's founding members embarked on an ambitious journey of European integration, with the signing of the Treaties of Rome. They agreed to settle their conflicts around a table rather than in battlefields. As a result, the painful experience of Europe's troubled past has given way to a peace spanning seven decades and to a Union of 500 million citizens living in freedom and opportunity in one of the world's most prosperous economies.\nThe 60th anniversary of the Treaties of Rome on 25 March 2017 will be an important occasion for EU27 leaders to reflect on the state of play of our European project, to consider its achievements and strengths as well as areas for further improvement, and to show common resolve to shape a stronger future together at 27.\nAs announced by President Juncker in his State of the Union speech of 14 September 2016, which was welcomed by the EU-27 leaders at the Bratislava Summit of 16 September 2016, the Commission has today presented a White Paper on the future of Europe in order to launch the debate ahead of the Rome Summit.\nThe White Paper will serve to steer the debate among the 27 Heads of State or Government and help structure the discussion at the Rome Summit and well beyond. It will also be used by the Commission as the starting point for a wider public debate on the future of our continent.\nEuropean Commission White Paper on the future of Europe\nWebpage: The EU at 60\nThe European Story: 60 years of shared progress\nPresident Juncker's 2016 State of the Union address: Towards a better Europe \u2013 a Europe that protects, empowers and defends\nANNEX-EN.pdf",

Letting a donkey sleep in a bathtub is illegal in Arizona. There are also some unique laws in force in Pennsylvania.\nThe Key Stone State has established its own laws governing residential bathrooms. Campers and house trailers are exempt from a law mandating that a child\u2019s bedroom be no more than 200\u2032 from the lavatory.\nFurther compliance with this law requires the bathroom have a shower stall or tub. One word of caution, if the child or any household member should sing while in that tub they will be committing an illegal act.\nOutdoorsmen in Pennsylvania should be aware that employing dynamite to catch fish is illegal. It also violates state game laws to use goldfish, the variety of goldfish known as comets, and carp as live bait. Also, please use a line and hook instead of your hands to land fish.\nBig game hunters are not allowed to shoot an animal if the animal is swimming. The penalties for this are such that if you shoot a bathing deer or bear and get caught you will not be laughing. It is also illegal to undertake bagging game in a cemetery.\nLadies, do not have more than fifteen roommates. A sixteenth roommate will cause your home to be reclassified as a bordello. When cleaning your house whatever you do do not sweep dirt under the rug.\nIf someone uses being inebriated during the ceremony as grounds for ending a marriage they will be confessing to breaking the law. Members of the clergy need to make sure a bride and groom are sober before proceeding with a wedding ceremony.\nIf anyone celebrates recent nuptials with firearms, fireworks, or literally, with artillery, they will be violating a law prohibiting private citizens from touching off cannons.\nKarl Heideck currently practices law in the Philadelphia area.

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb Languages \u00bb English (Sr. Secondary) \u00bb Essay on \u201cJudicial Activism\u201d Complete Essay for Class 10, Class 12 and Graduation and other classes.\nJudicial activism\u2019 is the current term in use. In a way, it is an absurd term\u2014if we have a judiciary, it is to be hoped that its members will be active; but the term \u2018activism\u2019, of course, implies Intervention\u2019.\nJudicial activism involves innovative interpretations of the nuances of law. According to Justice J.S. Verma of the Supreme Court, \u201cThe role of judiciary in interpreting existing laws according to the needs of times and filling in the gaps appears to be the true meaning of judicial activism.\u2019 In other words, it is judicial activism that helps to advance the cause of law, and it has been a continuous process in India. Judicial activism is, in fact, an essential part of judicial review.\nIn this context, it may be pointed out that the doctrine of the basic structure of the Constitution limits the scope of amending power of Parliament in substantial ways. Some of the features of the basic structure, though not actually listed, include rule of law, equality, federalism, secular polity, and, most important, judicial review. The judgment enunciating that the concept of the basic structure of the Constitution may be described as \u2018judicial activism\u2019 and it came more than twenty-five years ago. A decade later came the public interest litigation (PIL) in favour of social action and the courts accepting its validity and stepping in to set things right. The PILs are a big weapon to the social-spirited people, the seekers of truth and the votaries of justice. The amount of support rendered to the social issues through the public interest litigations has come as a big shield against the government\u2019s excesses as well as apathy.\nIdeologically, such litigation and judicial intervention born out of it has transformed the \u201cclassical liberal rights model enlisted in the Constitution (Part III) into a paradigm of people\u2019s rights\u201d. Such litigation has indeed democratized the access to the apex court. These cases have broadened the scope of fundamental rights to include right to dignity, shelter, health, environment, privacy, etc. They have given rise to fresh forms of judicial scrutiny of governmental institutions whether they be hospitals, prisons or juvenile homes.\nPublic interest litigation\u2014perhaps more aptly termed social action litigation\u2014grew because public-spirited individuals began to seek redress in matters affecting them not individually, but the rights of the people in general. Termed as public interest litigation, it was initially encouraged in the 1980s by Justice P.N. Bhagwati. The then Justice M.N. Venkatachalliah came on the scene and he set the tone for a new activism. As the Chief Justice, he adopted a posture independent of the government and encouraged to the filing of PIL cases. He took the lead and judges began to get bolder.\nPolity usually comprises three wings\u2014Executive, Legislature and Judiciary. Each generally has its own role to perform. In this context, it may be worthwhile recalling the views of Professor Jeffrey Jowell from England. Outlining the guiding principles of judicial activism, he said, \u201cjudges may intervene if the Executive exceeds the terms of power conferred on them.\u2019 So is judicial intervention to be invited if the State refuses to comply with the statutory provisions? It is also to be seen that policy is not sacrificed for principles. We live in an era where governments are not very sensitive to public issues. Judges, in the circumstances, provide better guide posts to the state so that policy is not ignored. Elected representatives must fulfill the legitimate aspirations of the people. Judiciary, executive and legislature cannot operate in mutually exclusive closed compartments.\nTrue, utilitarian policies socio-economic actions and rational implementation is best tackled by the state, but abuse of power, unfair procedure, unconstitutional action, or even lack of required action may surely be checked by the judiciary. As politicians are elected and judges are not, the former do not like to be pulled up by the latter. However, if the elected representations betray the mandate reposed in them, they surely should be brought to book. And the process is only through recourse to courts. To bring back the rule of law in a peaceful manner and not through bloody revolution, judicial activism is the first step. Judicial activism becomes necessary to put a check on tyranny born out of a temporary political majority in legislature which might otherwise seek to rewrite the Constitution in order to hold on to power. In the same way judicial intervention becomes inevitable when the executive and the legislature become indifferent towards their duties and responsibilities.\nIn some quarters, there are fears that the judiciary is overstepping its authority that it is trespassing into spheres reserved for the Legislature and the Executive. Policy-making and administration or carrying on the business of government is the executive\u2019s job; to legislate\u2014or change the law\u2014is the prerogative of the legislature, after due debate and discussion on issue of public interest. Indeed, Article 212(1) provides immunity to legislative assemblies from any judicial action over conduct of business in the House. In a similar way, Article 122(1) gives immunity to the members of Parliament for proceedings in parliaments.\nIn the present wave of judicial activism prompted by public interest suits on issues ranging from out-of-turn allotment of government houses without proper reason, discretionary allotment of petrol pumps and LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) connections to those having influence with highly placed bureaucrats/politicians, to the fraud involving animal husbandry department in Bihar, and, of course, the infamous \u2018Hawala cases\u2019, the Supreme Court has taken firm decisions. The Supreme Court\u2019s directions on the Jharkhand imbroglio may be a recent example, but there have been numerous other Instances when either the apex court or the high courts have addressed issues of importance that impact the people and the country. Among such initiatives have been the orders given by the Supreme Court to the Delhi Government to clean the polluted air in the city by phasing out diesel-run public transport in favour of vehicles run on CNG (Compressed Natural Gas).\nJudicial activism saw the judges wanting the politician Pappu Yadav with criminal antecedents to be lodged in New Delhi\u2019s Tihar jail as he was virtually making a mockery of his imprisonment in Bihar by ignoring every restriction. Judicial activism also saw the high court\u2019s go into the act in various parts of the country by banning day-long general strikes because of their disruptive effect on daily life or asking that political processions be restricted to certain localities and certain specified periods. It was judicial activism that helped the Election Commission to insist on the publication of the assets of candidates before contesting the election, and even more important, declare if any criminal charges existed against them.\nThese are citizen-friendly moves. True, in some cases. the court has assumed the role of issuing directions\u2013telling the CBI to investigate thoroughly and not to close any case without the court\u2019s orders\u2014a job of the Executive. It may also be pointed out that as the law stands, the CBI is an investigating agency under a particular minister, and there is no provision in law that the agency should report to a court and not to the minister concerned. And the CBI is also. under law, not empowered to investigate cases in a state without the state government\u2019s permission. The law, as it stands, may be productive of abuse, but changing that law is the business of the legislature, and of not the courts. So, here is the judiciary actually legislating.\nHowever, the citizens are helpless if the executive fails to do anything about the spreading canker of corruption in public life, and the legislature, including the highest one, is unable to do anything except to paralyze itself. Having lost all hope of any self-reform by the political system, most Indians have started viewing politicians of all hues with cynicism, even contempt. They look up to the higher judiciary as the only possible redeemer in the despairing situation as the judiciary comes to the people\u2019s rescue and supports them to stand upright. Although all is not well with the judiciary too, it is still the best guard of national interests and the upholder of the rights of people-guaranteed in Constitution. It tends to be so even at the risk of being dubbed as overactive. The former Chief Justice of India A.M. Ahmadi has opined. The present situation is not really a case of one democratic institution trying to exert itself over another: rather, it is a case of citizens finding new ways of expressing their concern for events occurring at the national level, and exerting their involvement in the democratic process.\u201d\nAs the incumbents of Parliament in recent years have become less representative of the will of the people. there has been a growing sense of frustration with the democratic process. The ordinary citizens have reacted in two ways. One group\u2014whose members constitute a large majority\u2014has chosen to look upon these developments as an unavoidable feature and has adapted itself to these uncertainties while continuing to bemoan its destiny. The other group which constitutes a very small minority has chosen a more positive innovative approach and has sought to achieve its objectives through the judiciary. This, it does by approaching public-spirited organizations and bodies, who in turn file public interest cases before the courts.\nThis would have been wholly unnecessary if the issues were fully discussed in Parliament and people were kept informed of developments when such citizens raise grave constitutional issues and exercise their fundamental rights in invoking the jurisdiction, the Supreme Court is left with little choice but to act.\nThe decline in the role played by the other two institutions of the state has inexorably changed the role of the court from being a \u201csentinel on the qui vive\u201d to a savior on call. The Supreme Court. as the final court of appeal is known as The court of last resort\u201d, but the wide writ jurisdiction enjoyed by it has often made it the court of first and only resort.\nThe Indian Constitution allows a person to move the Supreme Court directly for redress of violation of basic rights (Article 32). In the circumstances, the doctrine of separation of powers can only signify a division of functions. If the decisions of the coordinate branches of government are constitutionally correct, the judiciary has no right to interfere. But, if a decision violates a right of the Indian people, it is not constitutionally correct, hence judicial intervention is valid.\nEven conscientious and highly knowledgeable citizens of India don\u2019t support judicial activism on the ground that it may lead to a violation of basic principle of democracy\u2014replacing an elected government by a nominated body. In these circumstances there is a fear about the very survival of democracy. If today, the duty of governing the country can be shifted from the government to the Supreme Court, tomorrow it may be shifted from the elected representatives to nominated individuals.\nHowever, in the present circumstances, there appears to be no choice\u2014the judiciary seems to be the hope of the people for restoring lost, democratic rights. After all, how can democracy be better served if, along with the executive and legislature, the judiciary too turns indifferent to the citizens. This could lead to a situation in which the citizens may be compelled to take the law into their own hands. Then, there would be a revolution.\nHowever, \u2018activism\u2019 should not become \u2018populism\u2019; nor should it lead the judiciary to assume the mantle of arrogant righteousness, which can graduate to despotism. Judges, too, are human and prone to errors and aberrations. Furthermore there can be no escape from an intense debate about the merits and defects of the Supreme Court\u2019s judgments.\nJust as the ministers, bureaucrats and legislators are not above criticism, similarly, the judges of the High Court and the Supreme Court cannot be presumed to be beyond scrutiny. Judicial activism should not become judicial fundamentalism, one worry concerning judicial activism is, however, real: what if the orders passed are not enforced? The hope awakened in the public will die out. To obviate such a situation, the courts must seek to enforce their orders\u2014through the contempt power, for instance, or by requiring senior members of bureaucracy to be present during hearings.\nIt is also necessary that the effort to \u201credemocratise\u201d India is not left to judges alone. It is the duty of every thinking citizen of this country to help the judiciary in this effort. The media, too, has a role in educating the public and crusading for a clean and efficient administration.",

        "title": "Faking Good Breeding: Preparing for a Phone Interview",
        "raw_content": "Though I'm still having a hard time believing it myself, I'm finally a college senior, which means that I'm less than nine months from being unemployed if I don't get my act together and find a job. It's a scary but also exciting position to be in, and this month I've begun sending out applications, networking with alums and old co-workers and spending endless hours tweaking details of my resume.\nA few days ago I got a callback for my first real job interview, which will occur on the phone in a couple of weeks. I've had phone interviews before, and while they always went fine, I tend to prefer an in-person interview. It's always difficult to get a full picture of what the other person thinks of you when you don't have the benefit of physical cues, and I always feel so disconnected when I can't look someone in the eye when I talk to them for the first time.\nBut there are benefits to having a phone interview as well. You can sit in the comfort of your own room, in your normal clothes, and most importantly, you can use a cheat sheet to get you through the interview. You can also write down information during the interview (I always try to write down the interviewer's name, so I can thank her by name at the end and then send a thank you note to her office after the interview's over).\nI am a huge fan of the phone interview cheat sheet, as it's the best weapon against those moments where you just lose your train of thought, which can often make or break the interview.\nTo make a cheat sheet, I first come up with a list of all the probable questions I'll be asked. There are generic questions that are asked in just about every interview such as, \"Why do you Want this position?,\" \"What makes you qualified for this position?,\" and \"Why do you want to work for our company?\" I'll formulate full answers to these questions in my head or practice saying them out loud and then I'll write down a few words or phrases to jog my memory when I'm in the actual interview. Since interviewers love specific answers, I try to make sure that I don't have a generic \"I think your company is really cool\" responses, and use the word cues to remind myself of really compelling reasons why I want and would be great for the job.\nInterviewers often ask situational questions like, \"Tell me about a time when you showed leadership.,\" \"Give me an example of a situation where you worked under pressure.\" or \"What do you do when you have to work with people you don't get along with?\" These are by far the most difficult questions to answer if you aren't prepared. To prepare for these, I'll list 5-8 different situations that challenged me and but that I overcame through the use of various skills. It's hard to think of these situations, but I try to write down a variety of different experiences working in different jobs, classes or outside organizations. I practice telling the stories, keeping them fairly short and sweet, with the moral of what I learned or how I handled a tough situation, at the core of the story. Writing down these cues really helps when you're racking your brain for a good story during the interview.\nFinally, interviewers always ask if you have any questions at the end of the interview. This is a good opportunity to further show your knowledge of the company or their products and services, and I like to write down a few specific questions to ask. To prepare for this, I'll do research on the company by reading everything on their website, searching for news articles about them and if I know someone who has worked in the industry or at the company, asking them what questions they recommend that I ask. This research is really important and can come in useful during the entire interview, as displaying your knowledge of the company shows that you're really serious about the job and want it badly. It can give you an extra edge that separates you from other applicants.\nThis might sound like a lot of work, but I think that it can make all the difference in the world if you feel confident and prepared when going into an interview. A cheat sheet doesn't have to be a long, formal document, just a list of short phrases to inspire you when you blank on a question. It also can really help to ask a friend to ask you common interview questions, so you can start formulating answers out loud to practice for the real thing. If you're a college student, be sure to take advantage of the resources at your school's career development center. They often can tell you what to expect in your interview, give you more information about the company or industry and help you improve your resume. If your interview is for a job that you really, really want, it only makes sense to do as much as you can to prepare yourself.\nAnyone else have tips for surviving a phone interview?\nLabels: College Life, Etiquette, For Guys, Professional Situations\nGood tips, Meg! The cheat sheet idea is particularly helpful as long as it's used as a memory aide and not a script; if the interview candidate writes all answers out in full and reads them off the paper, it'll definitely sound scripted over the phone.\nI also agree with your suggestion of brainstorming situational stories for some of those tough \"talk about a time when you had to...\" questions. When I learned how to do interviews via workshops put on by my faculty's co-op program, they taught us the \"STAR\" method to formulate our answers and keep them concise. STAR stands for situation (contextual details), task (what you had to do or the problem you had to deal with), action (what you did to handle it), and result (what positive thing happened because of what you did).\nThe cheat sheet is a great idea-- I wish I'd had that for past phone interviews. Other tips that I've found useful are a bit counter to what you mentioned-- yes, a phone interview allows you to curl up in your favorite chair wearing your favorite sweats-- but you could also wear a suit and stand up during the conversation. It sounds silly, but it works. They can't see you, but you know that you're dressed professionally and you've put in the effort for the interview. Standing also helps you to project better and speak more authoritatively. I've done it for at least the first couple of minutes of an interview-- I find it helps to calm my nerves. I eventually sit down, but in my desk chair with my notes in front of me, and not slouching but sitting up straight the whole time. I think it makes a real difference. Good luck!\nOne of the best tips I've used is to make a point of smiling when you are talking. Even though they can't see you, it changes the way your voice sounds and the impression that gives. Looking in a mirror while on the phone can help remind you to hold yourself up properly and smile. Sounds hokey but it works.\nI sat on the other end of the phone for many interviews in my last position, and my coworkers always loved the candidates who made them laugh. It's impossible to plan that (and may not be appropriate for all positions), but being relaxed and pleasant while still articulate leaves people with a positive feeling -- which is really the point of most interview, since your facts are already available on your resume/CV and cover letter.\nI always took pen and paper for notes during in-person interviews as well -- as long as you're not distracted, I think it's totally appropriate.\nIt sounds goofy, but stand up, look in the mirror and smile while doing the interview. It totally changes the way you sound to the other person.\nWhen I was in College and had phone interviews, I always tried to be in front of my computer so that I could google something if I didn't know the answer to. I also kept some accounting/finance textbooks next to me in case they ever asked me any technical questions. Good luck on your interview!\nMarie_R said...\nAlso remember your manners! I did a phone interview with only one person interviewing me. They asked if I could hold for a moment, I was holding in a huge cough so I coughed and cleared my throat. Little did I know that they still had their ear to the phone! If you need to cough, sneeze etc remember to use the mute button.\nGood luck with your interview Meg!\ngreat tips (and from comments as well)! that's why this blog is so great...not only do you have advice on fashion but also career tips! *2 thumbs up*\nTexas said...\nMake sure you are in a location where you won't be bothered... where no one will come in and turn on the TV, where your cell phone won't ring, or where sounds of traffic from outside won't make their way in through an open window. There is nothing worse than having to tell a phone interviewer to hang on while you tell your roommate to go in the other room!\nI am in a similar position now and its really a really time consuming process. I have been having difficulty coming up with answers for \"What is your greatest weakness?\" question. There are many tips on what you should say but haven't found them helpful... Say smth that is not related to the job, or say smth that is actually a positive.. all very confusing. So if you have any tips on that...\nOMG. How much more boring can you get- first the gloves, and now phone interviews?- It's like that sex in the city episode where Carrie's life is so dull that she starts writing about her sock drawer \"men as socks\" - You really need to go out and get laid, then come back and write something interesting!!!\nKelly is 100% correct. Keep a smile on your face the entire time, even if you're faking it!\nTo Anonymous R-- My boss once mentioned that a good idea is to pick something that most everyone has as a weakness, admit to it, but then put a positive spin on it. He always says something like, \"Well, I have a tendency to procrastinate. But if I'm given a definite timeline that helps me to stay on top of my work and wrap things up in a timely manner!\" No one can really fault you for being a procrastinator-- we all are!-- but they will appreciate your admission of it as well as your search for a solution.",

        "raw_content": "Girl please, you know your name is Jezebel!!\nI may not be a lot of things but one thing I know for sure is that I am very self-aware. I enjoy reflecting on where I'm at and trying to seek The Lord on how I can be better in that area.\nI was doing some of that reflecting earlier this week. A guy at work had been gone for a few days and the second me and co-worker saw him walk in, we didn't even say hello, we just started telling him what we needed. His response was, \"Wow, so I don't even get an I miss you or anything? Y'all just want me to do stuff?\"\nImmediately at that very moment I realized that that was exactly what I did to my husband quite frequently. I'd go as far to say maybe over 70% of the time.\nNow that I am single, there are guys everywhere that are so flirty. And which ones are the worst offenders? All the married guys. I'm always interested in knowing why they do this. I know it's what my husband did and I know it's rampant in the workplace.\nWhen posed this question, the answer is always the same. They say because they can just have a normal conversation and not have to talk about work and bills and stressful stuff AND that they feel like you care and are genuinely interested in what they are saying.\nThat got me to thinking. And ya know, I could rip a guy to shreds over that kind of response. But you know what? Instead, I took it to heart. So if you are married, acknowledge your husband. Listen to what they say with your full attention, let them unwind and chill out for a little bit when they get home.\nLearn from my own mistakes, take it upon YOURSELF to step up and do the right thing without waiting for them to...just be the bigger person.\nDon't be a hard headed beotch and wait until its too late to fix it. Don't let that ever controlling, manipulating, scheming, \"Jezebel\" side of you win!! Don't pay ALL your attention to everything their doing wrong, which could be a whole laundry list, but focus on YOUR part and do what YOU can do. Then, let God take care of the rest!!\nLabels: Jezebel, love, marriage",

        "title": "FH - Swiss watch industry exports in the first half of 2017",
        "raw_content": "Home News Exports first half 2017\nSwiss watch industry exports in the first half of 2017\nThe result has stabilized sooner than expected\nAfter having to contend with an unfavourable economic, structural, political or security environment, depending on the markets, the Swiss watch industry has gradually adjusted to the new environment in which it will have to operate. The adverse consequences on the state of business have given way to a recovery which has already become a strong upturn on some markets. Although Swiss watch industry exports are not equally dynamic everywhere, their overall trend has stabilized, spelling the end of the downturn. This stabilization had not been expected before the end of the year.\nIn the first six months of the year, watch industry exports were worth 9.5 billion francs. The variation against the result for the first half of 2016 was +0.1%. China and the United Kingdom reported strong growth and made a major contribution to this trend.\nThe target for the whole of 2017 has therefore already been achieved after six months, thanks to a good second quarter (+3.0%). However, the situation remains fragile locally. The United States did not participate in the recovery and some European or Asian markets are still undergoing significant readjustments. The forecast for 2017 therefore remains one of prudent optimism.\nWatches, the flagship product of Swiss watch industry exports, reached a value of 8.9 billion francs, up 0.7% on the first half of 2016. On the other hand, the corresponding number of pieces did not follow the same trend and contracted by 3.3%. In six months, the Swiss watch industry sent 11.6 million timepieces abroad.\nValue growth was supported by mechanical watches (+2.0%) while quartz products (-4.5%) lost ground.\nWatches priced at less than 200 francs (export price) were the only ones to see their value diminish against the first half of 2016, at -11.2%. The number of pieces also fell (-5.6%) with a strong impact on the total. The value of watches in the 200-500 francs range rose by 3.0%, while those priced at more than 500 francs reported 1.3% growth of export sales.\nOver the first half as a whole, gold watches posted a fall which was precisely offset by the growth of steel timepieces. Products made of platinum and bimetal watches in particular tipped the balance into positive territory. Volumes were affected by the decline of the Other materials and Other metals categories.\nAmong the main regions, the trend in Europe was the most interesting with +3.3% between January and June. Still benefiting from the level of its currency, the United Kingdom made a major contribution here. Asia remained stable overall (-0.3%), with some markets steeply higher and others falling sharply. The American continent reported a fall of 3.7% due to the downturn in the United States.\nThe steep increase in Swiss watch exports to the United Kingdom (+16.3%) was a salient feature in Europe, Some other markets reported modest growth, including Italy (+0.4%), Spain (+0.8%) and Austria (+4.8%), but elsewhere there were further falls. Germany (-6.1%) and France (-4.2%) are only recovering very gradually from the steep contraction experienced by them since early 2016.\nAsia also saw an alternation of rises and falls. Hong Kong (+0.5%) stabilized in the first half. China (+21.7%) maintained the highly positive trend which it has been posting for nearly one year now and achieved the highest growth rate of all the Asian countries. At the other extreme, Japan (-9.8%), the United Arab Emirates (-11.3%) and Taiwan (-19.2%) saw steep declines.\nDespite more optimistic forecasts, figures for the United States remained weak in the first half (-5.9%). The situation there has not improved for more than twelve months and for the time being there is nothing to suggest that the outlook will brighten soon.",

        "raw_content": "FIA to meet President Ramaphosa as part of PPGI\nArticle by Lizelle van der Merwe\nThe FIA recently represented our members at a meeting of the multi-sector Public and Private Growth Initiative (PPGI) in Johannesburg. The PPGI is a joint initiative between the Department of Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation and various industries within the private sector. It has been tasked by President Ramaphosa to identify potential synergies between Government\u2019s growth plans and those of the private sector, as well as any inhibitors that may need to be overcome.\nBy participating in the PPGI, the FIA is contributing towards stronger relations between business and government while raising awareness of the important role that intermediaries play in the financial services sector. We are also highlighting the impact that increasing regulation is having on our sector, i.e. increased costs for existing businesses and barriers to entry for new players.\nThe PPGI meeting brought leaders from 12 sectors together to identify growth inhibitors and opportunities for development for the next five years in the context of the National Development Plan. The FIA presented a number of insights into trends, policy changes, success inhibitors, etc. and shared our five key focus areas, namely:\nEnterprise and supplier development programme for intermediaries\nSkills development programmes for intermediaries\nManage ongoing regulatory and policy change\nA Centre of Intelligence \u2013 developing a data hub for the insurance industry\nConsumer education \u2013 empowering consumers to better understand their financial needs and risks\nAcross the board, the leaders at the meeting indicated that an increase of approximately 5% to GDP should be achievable over the next five years, in partnership with Government. Individual projections varied between 3% and 5% subject to circumstances relevant to the specific sector. However, the projection of an overall 5% contribution to GDP is based on the expected multiplier impact on associated businesses that cannot accurately be quantified at this stage.\nLeaders in each of the 12 sectors remain confident that South Africa has the ability to grow by these percentages and offer lucrative opportunities for both domestic and foreign investors.\nIn order to help achieve this growth, the intermediary market has committed to growing the number of independent intermediary businesses in the country. This will result in increased competition, which bodes well for consumers and market growth.\nWe also aim to ensure that broker intermediation remains a natural and quick entry point for upcoming entrepreneurs in the sector.\nOn the 29 January, the PPGI presented its consolidated report, including submission by the FIA to President Ramaphosa. We will publish an update on our participation in the PPGI in the next issue of FIA Insight, which is due for publication at the end of March.\nIn the meantime, if you would like any more information on this or any other topic, don\u2019t hesitate to contact me.",

        "raw_content": "How to Find The Best Remortgage Rates\nby Nick Lewis on 31 October 2011 4 comments\nThere may be two main reasons why you may be looking for the best remortgage rates:\nyou may be seeking to reduce your monthly out-goings by finding a cheaper mortgage;\nyou may be looking to convert some of the equity that you have built up over the years into some ready cash for some home improvements, a new car or some other project;\nWhatever your reason for a remortgage is, you need to be sure that the deal you finally select actually delivers what you are looking for. It may be important therefore to be sure that you have all the relevant facts to hand before making a switch, do note that what you consider to be the best remortgage deal for you.\nIt may not be the most suitable product for someone else getting a number of remortgage quotes is obviously a good place to start and there are online remortgaging sites where this may be achieved easily and quickly for your quotes for the best remortgage rates to be as accurate as possible. You may typically need to be able to supply information on why you want to remortgage, how much you would like to borrow, how long you want to borrow for and the current value of your property.\nYou may then be able to study the offers from a number of lenders and determine which may be most suitable for you with any of these quotes. You may wish to bear in mind that the introductory rates on offer may be available for a relatively short period of time (when measured against the term of the remortgage) and having an understanding of what happens when this period expires.\nThis is important \u2013 particularly if looking for a solution to reduce your monthly expenditure on an ongoing basis one area that you may not be able to ignore in your calculations. The next thing is considering your existing commitment to your current mortgage provider, since your arrangement with them may include an early redemption penalty payment. Including this sum into your calculations may help to ensure that you end up with the best remortgage rates.\n[easyazon-block asin=\u201dB000P6RHNM\u201d align=\u201dnone\u201d]\nNick Lewis is a Finance writer who has worked in marketing departments for some of the biggest finance high street names .

This field is cross-disciplinary, spanning biology and chemistry to physics and engineering, with physical chemistry at its core, essential to fundamentally understand the underlying processes that enable light absorption, charge separation and efficient redox catalysis.\nThis Faraday Discussion meeting will be the third edition in a series on this topic (Edinburgh, 2011 and Kyoto, 2017) and will discuss recent breakthroughs and contemporary challenges in the field. The dynamic pace and progress in artificial photosynthesis research justify the timeliness of this meeting, as we are now at a decisive stage where some of the fundamental questions have been answered and applications are becoming a reality.

        "title": "Matthew 3.16 the heavens were opened to him",
        "raw_content": "'the heavens were opened to him\u2019 Matthew 3.16\nIt is a curious phrase. It conjures up visions of the sky being riven apart and the person actually seeing what is above the sky. Of course this is predicated on a view of the world where the earth is a flat disk supported by pillars (1), with the firmament above like an upside down mixing bowl the inside of which is a sky blue colour (2). The flat disk has waters below and the firmament keeps the waters above from falling down and swamping us completely. The sun and the moon travel along the inside of the mixing bowl, giving us light. So it we are to take this literally, if the heavens were open at Jesus' baptism, the mixing bowl split, the earth would be inundated with water. Not a promising prospect! I am grateful for a diagram of the ancient view of the world reflected in the Bible by Dr James F. McGrath (3)\nSo if we put this aside, perhaps Jesus received an image of the universe as seen by the Hubble telescope, a vision of indescribable beauty as the vastness of the universe became apparent to Jesus. This at least is closer to the picture of what we now think the universe looks like. But I suppose that equally Jesus could have received a vision of the microscopic world, the indescribable beauty of the atomic nature of the universe, well before it was actually discovered by humanity.\nBut perhaps Jesus had a vision of the interconnectedness of all humanity, of what might be possible, indeed what actually is necessary for all to live in peace, where all people are accorded dignity as well as the necessities of life. Perhaps Jesus had a vision of what the words: 'Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven\u2019 (4) actually mean. Readers will not be surprised when I say that this is what I think Jesus saw.\nAt the beginning of any strategic review it is necessary to define the aim of the organisation. If the members of an organisation have different objectives it is going to be difficult to work together to achieve the actual aim. Sometimes I think that the aim of the church is to continue to exist. Our idea of heaven is for our church to continue - \u2018as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen\u2019 ending the \u2018Gloria Patri\u2019, the doxology (5). We make our liturgy imitate that described in the book of the Revelation to St John the Divine (6) thinking that this will fulfil the petition in the Lord\u2019s Prayer. But we should not miss the words: 'Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, singing, \u2018To the one seated on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honour and glory and might for ever and ever!\u2019\u2019 (7) If 'every creature in heaven and earth\u2019 worship in this way, obviously they have been given reason to worship, they, each and every one of them, has been affirmed and included. This is again a vision of the interconnectedness of all humanity.\nGod gives Jesus this vision of what he is sent for, the aim of incarnation, the aim of mission, the aim of resurrection. So his baptism is less about the special relationship Jesus enjoyed with God, but the task ahead of Jesus and the way he was to engage in that task.\nIt is not often that I prefer the King James Version of a text but I do with these words from Proverbs: 'Where there is no vision, the people perish.\u2019 (8) A vision is not just for the one seeing it, if it does not give life to all others it is deceptive or (more usually) misappropriated. Jesus says: 'From everyone to whom much has been given, much will be required; and from the one to whom much has been entrusted, even more will be demanded.\u2019 (9) It is demanded because what is given is to be shared with others.\nAt the inauguration of his ministry, the vision of the opening of the heavens is the promise of life for all people. At the inauguration of Jesus\u2019 ministry, he is given a vision of what God is all about, the interconnectedness of all people, the affirmation and inclusion of everyone. And I want to ask, is not this a worthy vision? Or to put it the other way, is anything else actually worth dying for? Is this not a vision for which all people actually yearn and which many find the church an obstacle and a distraction? I am reminded of the words of the prophet Isaiah as I read the evening office (10) 'But upon you the \\ Lord shall \\ rise: and the glory of the \\ Lord \u2022 will ap\\pear up\\on you. Nations will \\ come \u2022 to your \\ light: and kings to the \\ brightness \\ of your \\ rising. No longer will violence be \\ heard \u2022 in your \\ land: nor ruin or de\\struction \u2022 with\\in your \\ borders.\u2019 (11) The vision which attracts nations and kings is precisely the absence of violence, the promise, prospect and the actuality of inclusion and affirmation of all. Otherwise they would not come, no matter what extravagant and arrogant claims are made by the founder or the disciples.\nAnd if this is so, then the vision of the interconnectedness of all people, of the affirmation and inclusion of all, is to put real meaning to the words \u2018to fulfil all righteousness\u2019. This does not mean liturgical correctness, moral purity, or adherence to ethical demands, all of which implicitly imply the exclusion of some.\nI believe what prompted this vision of the kingdom of heaven being opened was the scene before Jesus' eyes: 'the people of Jerusalem and all Judea were going out to (John), and all the region along the Jordan, and they were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. But when he saw many Pharisees and Sadducees coming for baptism, he said to them, \u2018You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?\u2019 (12) Jesus saw ordinary people coming together and being welcomed and it was this coming together that was the important thing. The author of the letter 1 Peter expresses it well when he says: 'maintain constant love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins.\u2019 (13) Our welcome of others is the foundation of our faith, it is the heavens opened, it is this that God wants, not eternal self-berating over minor misdemeanours - things that the orthodox and the devout can so often occupy their time.\nWe who count ourselves as religious have to recognise that Jesus\u2019 vision of heaven is where everyone else is welcomed - where the only people excluded are not the gays and lesbians but those who bring their religion with them - their religion of entitlement and superiority. If we have made our \u2018christianity\u2019 a badge of personal superiority and entitlement for divine acceptance, then we are going to have to put that aside.\nSo the heavens are opened to us as we religiously welcome others, when we put aside our religious differences and make our faith into valuing the interconnectedness of all people. Sadly there are always those who want to micro-manage religion to enhance their own status, and it is these that earn John\u2019s rebuke: \u2018You brood of vipers!\u2019 and who eventually will have Jesus killed. Jesus was killed not because he taught that individuals should love others, he was killed because he taught that the ancient faith of Israel was to accept others who didn\u2019t share their faith and heritage..\nWhich makes me ask the question: \u2018How does a corporation like the church love her neighbours, if not by affirmation and inclusion?\u2019\nAnd we read in our first lesson for today the conclusion of Peter\u2019s conversion: Peter who was brought, step by painful step, out of his exclusive religion into the gentile household of Cornelius to come to this same realisation: \"I truly understand that God shows no partiality, but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him. You know the message he sent to the people of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ -- he is Lord of all.\u2019 (14) And in the context, doing what is right is about being affirming and inclusive of others, not being 'religious'. Despite being the chosen disciple and chief apostle, witnessing the death and resurrection of Jesus - he still has to learn that faith is not actually about him at all, but about how he treats all others.\nDo we catch this vision given to Jesus, shared with us, for us to share with all? A vision of people responding to a God of affirmation and inclusion!\n(1) 1 Samuel 2.8\n(2) Genesis 1.6\n(3) https://www.facebook.com/exploringourmatrix\n(5) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doxology\n(6) Revelation 4,5\n(7) Revelation 5.13\n(8) Proverbs 29.18\n(9) Luke 12.48\n(10) NZPB p 61\n(11) Isaiah 60.3,18\n(12) Matthew 3.5-7\n(13) 1 Peter 4.8\n(14) Acts 10.34",

Amen.\nThe reading appointed for the Old Testament lesson is from the book of the prophet Isaiah chapter 7 beginning at the 10th verse:\nThe LORD spoke to Ahaz, saying, Ask a sign of the LORD your God; let it be deep as Sheol or high as heaven. But Ahaz said, I will not ask, and I will not put the LORD to the test. Then Isaiah said: \"Hear then, O house of David! Is it too little for you to weary mortals, that you weary my God also? Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Look, the young woman is with child and shall bear a son, and shall name him Immanuel. Hear the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.\nPsalm 40: 6-13 APBA p 263\nThe reading appointed for the Epistle is from the letter to the Hebrews chapter 10 beginning at the 4th verse:\nIt is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. Consequently, when Christ came into the world, he said, \"Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired, but a body you have prepared for me; in burnt offerings and sin offerings you have taken no pleasure. Then I said, 'See, God, I have come to do your will, O God' (in the scroll of the book it is written of me).\" When he said above, \"You have neither desired nor taken pleasure in sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings\" (these are offered according to the law), then he added, \"See, I have come to do your will.\" He abolishes the first in order to establish the second. And it is by God's will that we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. Hear the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.\nThe Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke chapter 1 beginning at the 26th verse. Glory to you, Lord Jesus Christ.\nIn the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name was Mary. And he came to her and said, \"Greetings, favoured one! The Lord is with you.\" But she was much perplexed by his words and pondered what sort of greeting this might be. The angel said to her, \"Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favour with God. And now, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you will name him Jesus. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his ancestor David. He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.\" Mary said to the angel, \"How can this be, since I am a virgin?\" The angel said to her, \"The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be holy; he will be called Son of God. And now, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son; and this is the sixth month for her who was said to be barren. For nothing will be impossible with God.\" Then Mary said, \"Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word.\" Then the angel departed from her.

        "raw_content": "The swamp cooler reborn? Researchers have \u201cpioneered\u201d a water-based air conditioning system\nWednesday, July 11, 2018 by Russel Davis\nhttp://www.futuresciencenews.com/2018-07-11-the-swamp-cooler-reborn-researchers-have-pioneered-a-water-based-air-conditioning-system.html\nA team of researchers at the National University of Singapore\u2019s (NUS) Faculty of Engineering developed a breakthrough water-based air conditioning system that was deemed cost-efficient and sustainable. The scientists explained that the vapor compression air-conditioning system, first invented by Willis Carrier in 1902, remains to be the most widely used air-conditioning technology to date. However, the experts cautioned that the system often require a large amount of energy to eliminate moisture and to cool the dehumidified air.\nThe scientists added that the large amount of energy used in running vapor compression air-conditioning systems may contribute to the already worsening climate change. The researchers noted that buildings located in tropical countries may even allot more than 40 percent of their total energy usage to air-conditioning alone. However, the experts touted that the new water-based air-conditioning system may help cut back on energy consumption by up to 40 percent compared with the current system.\nLikewise, the scientists explained that the new system reduces the use of chemical refrigerants \u2013 such as chlorofluorocarbon and hydrochlorofluorocarbon \u2013 during the cooling process. Moreover, the researchers noted that the new air conditioning technology generates drinking water while it simultaneously cools ambient air.\n\u201cIn contrast, our novel membrane and water-based cooling technology is very eco-friendly \u2013 it can provide cool and dry air without using a compressor and chemical refrigerants. This is a new starting point for the next generation of air-conditioners, and our technology has immense potential to disrupt how air-conditioning has traditionally been provided,\u201d lead researcher Associate Professor Ernest Chua told The Engineer online.\nHow the new water-based air conditioning system works\nThe scientists explained that the new system was designed to employ two separate systems that will remove moisture and to cool the dehumidified air. The researchers added that using separate systems to perform each function may help promote process control and achieve greater energy efficiency. According to the experts, the system first uses a breakthrough membrane technology that helps eliminate moisture from humid outdoor air. (Related: Groundbreaking technology has the potential to generate power from polluted air.)\nThen, the dehumidified air is cooled through a dew-point cooling system that uses water as the cooling medium rather than toxic chemical refrigerants. The new system does not discharge hot air into the atmosphere, unlike vapor compression air conditioners. Instead, the new system releases a stream of cool air that is less humid than the environment. According to the research team, this effect mitigates the risk of developing a micro-climate. The system may also generate as much as 12 to 15 liters of drinking water after operating for one whole day, the experts said.\n\u201cOur cooling technology can be easily tailored for all types of weather conditions, from humid climate in the tropics to arid climate in the deserts. While it can be used for indoor living and commercial spaces, it can also be easily scaled up to provide air-conditioning for clusters of buildings in an energy-efficient manner. This novel technology is also highly suitable for confined spaces such as bomb shelters or bunkers, where removing moisture from the air is critical for human comfort, as well as for sustainable operation of delicate equipment in areas such as field hospitals, armoured personnel carriers, and operation decks of navy ships as well as aircrafts,\u201d Assoc Prof Chua said in a separate Science Daily article.\nThe researchers were reportedly refining the system\u2019s design to improve its user-friendliness. Likewise, the experts were working on new features such as real-time energy monitoring and pre-programmed thermal settings based on human occupancy.\nVisit FutureScienceNews.com for the latest in technology and future science.\nTagged Under: Tags: air conditioner, air conditioning system, eco-friendly, future tech, goodscience, humidity, innovation, invention, technology, user-friendly, water, water-based",

As a matter of recent practice the Virginia Senate has declined to allow for anyone to be appointed to a judgeship whose relative was a currently serving member of the General Assembly. Thanks to some activities that occurred earlier this year, however, there\u2019s now an effort to ban appointment for those related to recently serving members of the legislature.\nBack in June Republicans convinced Democratic Senator Phillip P. Puckett to resign, shifting the balance of power in the evenly divided state senate (20-20) in favor of the Republicans (20-19). Moreover the resignation meant that Puckett\u2019s daughter, who had been serving by temporary appointment to a District Court judgeship and had been approved by the Virginia House for a permanent judgeship, would now be eligible for appointment by the Senate.\nWhen the Virginia House came back into special session in July a House bill (HB 5006) was introduced to put into law, applicable to both the House and Senate, a policy that would prohibit the legislature from appointing a person to a judgeship if the person is an immediate family member (spouse, parent, child, brother, or sister) of a member of the General Assembly or former member of the General Assembly for at least 24 months after such member has ceased to be a member of the General Assembly. That bill went nowhere in the special session but has now been prefiled for the 2015 session as HB 1282.\nPosted on August 29, 2014 Author Bill RafteryCategories SelectionTags Virginia1 Comment on Virginia: House member wants ban on election of judges whose relatives were current or recent members of the legislature",

A strike usually takes place in response to employee grievances. Strikes became common during the Industrial Revolution, when mass labor became important in factories and mines. In most countries, strike actions were quickly made illegal,{{citation needed|date=August 2016}} as factory owners had far more power than workers. Most Western countries partially legalized striking in the late 19th or early 20th centuries.Strikes are sometimes used to pressure governments to change policies. Occasionally, strikes destabilize the rule of a particular political party or ruler; in such cases, strikes are often part of a broader social movement taking the form of a campaign of civil resistance. Notable examples are the 1980 Gda\u00c5\u0084sk Shipyard, and the 1981 Warning Strike, led by Lech Wa\u00c5\u0082\u00c4\u0099sa.

For the first time in history, large numbers of people were members of the industrial working class; they lived in cities and exchanged their labor for payment. By the 1830s, when the Chartist movement was at its peak in Britain, a true and widespread 'workers consciousness' was awakening. In 1842 the demands for fairer wages and conditions across many different industries finally exploded into the first modern general strike. After the second (Chartism#1842: Chartism's biggest petition and 'the General Strike'|Chartist Petition) was presented to Parliament in April 1842 and rejected, the strike began in the coal mines of Staffordshire, England, and soon spread through Britain affecting factories, mills in Lancashire and coal mines from Dundee to South Wales and Cornwall.WEB,weblink The General Strike of 1842: A Study in Leadership, Organisation and the Threat of Revolution during the Plug Plot Disturbance, F.C.Mather, George Allen & Unwin Ltd London, web.bham.ac.uk/1848, 1974, 2008-01-30, Instead of being a spontaneous uprising of the mutinous masses, the strike was politically motivated and was driven by an agenda to win concessions.

The object of collective bargaining is for the employer and the union to come to an agreement over wages, benefits, and working conditions. A collective bargaining agreement may include a clause which prohibits the union from striking during the term of the agreement, known as a \"no-strike clause.\" No-strike clauses arose in the United States immediately following World War II.WEB,weblink A Wobbly Strategy for Fundamental Change - Industrial Workers of the World, www.iww.org, Some in the labor movement consider no-strike clauses to be an unnecessary detriment to unions in the collective bargaining process.WEB,weblink No-Strike Clauses Hold Back Unions - Labor Notes, labornotes.org, Generally, strikes are rare: according to the News Media Guild, 98% of union contracts in the United States are settled each of the 67 years without a strike.{{Citation needed|date=June 2008}} Occasionally, workers decide to strike without the sanction of a labor union, either because the union refuses to endorse such a tactic, or because the workers concerned are ionized. Such strikes are often described as unofficial. Strikes without formal union authorization are also known as wildcat strikes.In many countries, wildcat strikes do not enjoy the same legal protections as recognized union strikes, and may result in penalties for the union members who participate or their union. The same often applies in the case of strikes conducted without an official ballot of the union membership, as is required in some countries such as the United Kingdom.A strike may consist of workers refusing to attend work or picketing outside the workplace to prevent or dissuade people from working in their place or conducting business with their employer. Less frequently workers may occupy the workplace, but refuse either to do their jobs or to leave. This is known as a sit-down strike. A similar tactic is the work-in, where employees occupy the workplace but still continue work, often without pay, which attempts to show they are still useful, or that worker self-management can be successful. For instance, this occurred with factory occupations in the Biennio Rosso strikes - the \"two red years\" of Italy from 1919-1920.{{Citation needed|date=May 2018}}Another unconventional tactic is work-to-rule (also known as an Italian strike, in ), in which workers perform their tasks exactly as they are required to but no better. For example, workers might follow all safety regulations in such a way that it impedes their productivity or they might refuse to work overtime. Such strikes may in some cases be a form of \"partial strike\" or \"slowdown\".During the development boom of the 1970s in Australia, the Green ban was developed by certain unions described by some as more socially conscious. This is a form of strike action taken by a trade union or other organized labor group for environmentalist or conservationist purposes. This developed from the black ban, strike action taken against a particular job or employer in order to protect the economic interests of the strikers.United States labor law also draws a distinction, in the case of private sector employers covered by the National Labor Relations Act, between \"economic\" and \"unfair labor practice\" strikes. An employer may not fire, but may permanently replace, workers who engage in a strike over economic issues. On the other hand, employers who commit unfair labor practices (ULPs) may not replace employees who strike over them, and must fire any strikebreakers they have hired as replacements in order to reinstate the striking workers.File:Battle strike 1934.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Teamsters, wielding pipes, clash with armed police in the streets of Minneapolis during a 1934 strike.]]Strikes may be specific to a particular workplace, employer, or unit within a workplace, or they may encompass an entire industry, or every worker within a city or country. Strikes that involve all workers, or a number of large and important groups of workers, in a particular community or region are known as general strikes. Under some circumstances, strikes may take place in order to put pressure on the State or other authorities or may be a response to unsafe conditions in the workplace.A sympathy strike is, in a way, a small scale version of a general strike in which one group of workers refuses to cross a picket line established by another as a means of supporting the striking workers. Sympathy strikes, once the norm in the construction industry in the United States, have been made much more difficult to conduct due to decisions of the National Labor Relations Board permitting employers to establish separate or \"reserved\" gates for particular trades, making it an unlawful secondary boycott for a union to establish a picket line at any gate other than the one reserved for the employer it is picketing. Sympathy strikes may be undertaken by a union as an orgition or by individual union members choosing not to cross a picket line.A jurisdictional strike in United States labor law refers to a concerted refusal to work undertaken by a union to assert its members\u00e2\u0080\u0099 right to particular job assignments and to protest the assignment of disputed work to members of another union or to unorganized workers.A student strike has the students (sometimes supported by faculty) not attending schools. In some cases, the strike is intended to draw media attention to the institution so that the grievances that are causing the students to \"strike\" can be aired before the public; this usually damages the institution's (or government's) public image. In other cases, especially in government-supported institutions, the student strike can cause a budgetary imbalance and have actual economic repercussions for the institution.A hunger strike is a deliberate refusal to eat. Hunger strikes are often used in prisons as a form of political protest. Like student strikes, a hunger strike aims to worsen the public image of the target.A \"sickout\", or (especially by uniformed police officers) \"blue flu\", is a type of strike action in which the strikers call in sick. This is used in cases where laws prohibit certain employees from declaring a strike. Police, firefighters, air traffic controllers, and teachers in some U.S. states are among the groups commonly barred from striking usually by state and federal laws meant to ensure the safety or security of the general public.Newspaper writers may withhold their names from their stories as a way to protest actions of their employer.WEB,weblink A note from the editor \u00e2\u0080\u0093 Twin Cities, Activists may form \"{{vanchor|flying squad}}\" groups for strikes or other actions to disrupt the workplace or another aspect of capitalism: supporting other strikers or unemployed workers, participating in protests against globalization, or opposing abusive landlords.JOURNAL, Levant, Alex, Flying Squads and the Crisis of Workers' Self-Organization, New Socialist, 40,weblink 1488-2698, mdy-all,\nOn 30 January 2015, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that there is a constitutional right to strike.Saskatchewan Federation of Labour v Saskatchewan, 2015 SCC 4 In this 5\u00e2\u0080\u00932 majority decision, Justice Rosalie Abella ruled that \"[a]long with their right to associate, speak through a bargaining representative of their choice, and bargain collectively with their employer through that representative, the right of employees to strike is vital to protecting the meaningful process of collective bargaining...\" [paragraph 24]. This decision adopted the dissent by Chief Justice Brian Dickson in a 1987 Supreme Court ruling on a reference case brought by the province of Alberta. The exact scope of this right to strike remains unclear and will no doubt be subject to further litigation. Prior to this Supreme Court decision, the federal and/or provincial governments had the ability to introduce \"back to work legislation\", a special law that blocks the strike action (or a lockout) from happening or continuing on further. Canadian governments could also have imposed binding arbitration or a new contract on the disputing parties. Back to work legislation was first used in 1950 during a railway strike, and as of 2012 had been used 33 times by the federal government for those parts of the economy that are regulated federally (grain handling, rail and air travel, and the postal service), and in more cases provincially. In addition, certain parts of the economy can be proclaimed \"essential services\" in which case all strikes are illegal.WEB,weblink FAQ: Back-to-work legislation, Examples include when the government of Canada passed back to work legislation during the 2011 Canada Post lockout and the 2012 CP Rail strike, thus effectively ending the strikes.

Since the government in such systems claims to represent the working class, it has been argued that unions and strikes were not necessary.{{citation needed|date=October 2016}} In 1976, China signed the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, which guaranteed the right to unions and striking, but Chinese officials declared that they had no interest in allowing these liberties.\"Still waiting for Nike to do it,\" by Tim Connor, page 70.

A law \"on social dialogue and continuity of public service in regular terrestrial transports of passengers\" was adopted on 12 August 2007, and it took effect on 1 January 2008.This law, among other measures, forces certain categories of public transport workers (such as train and bus drivers) to declare to their employer 48 hours in advance if they intend to go on strike. Should they go on strike without having declared their intention to do so beforehand, they leave themselves open to sanctions.The unions did and still oppose this law and argue these 48 hours are used not only to pressure the workers but also to keep files on the more militant workers, who will more easily be undermined in their careers by the employers. Most importantly, they argue this law prevents the more hesitant workers from making the decision to join the strike the day before, once they've been convinced to do so by their colleagues and more particularly the union militants, who maximize their efforts in building the strike (by handing out leaflets, organizing meetings, discussing the demands with their colleagues) in the last few days preceding the strike. This law makes it also more difficult for the strike to spread rapidly to other workers, as they are required to wait at least 48 hours before joining the strike.This law also makes it easier for the employers to organize the production as it may use its human resources more effectively, knowing beforehand who is going to be at work and not, thus undermining, albeit not that much, the effects of the strike.However, this law has not had much effect as strikes in public transports still occur in France and at times, the workers refuse to comply by the rules of this law. The public transport industry - public or privately owned - remains very militant in France and keen on taking strike action when their interests are threatened by the employers or the government.The public transport workers in France, in particular the \"Cheminots\" (employees of the national French railway company) are often seen as the most radical \"vanguard\" of the French working class. This law has not, in the eyes of many, changed this fact.\nThe Industrial Relations Act 1971 was repealed through the Trade Union and Labour Relations Act 1974, sections of which were repealed by the Employment Act 1982.The Code of Practice on Industrial Action Ballots and Notices, and sections 22 and 25 of the Employment Relations Act 2004, which concern industrial action notices, commenced on 1 October 2005.Legislation was enacted in the aftermath of the 1919 police strikes, forbidding British police from both taking industrial action, and discussing the possibility with colleagues. The Police Federation which was created at the time to deal with employment grievances, and provide representation to police officers, has increasingly put pressure on the government, and repeatedly threatened strike action.NEWS,weblink Police in strike action threat, BBC News, Prison officers have gained and lost the right to strike over the years; most recently despite it being illegal, they walked out on 15 November 2016.NEWS,weblink Prison officers stage unofficial walkout on day of public sector action, The Daily Telegraph,\nFile:Striker assembly.jpg|thumb|right|250px|A strike leader addressing strikers in Gary, IndianaGary, IndianaThe Railway Labor Act bans strikes by United States airline and railroad employees except in narrowly defined circumstances. The National Labor Relations Act generally permits strikes, but provides a mechanism to enjoin strikes in industries in which a strike would create a national emergency. The federal government most recently invoked these statutory provisions to obtain an injunction requiring the International Longshore and Warehouse Union return to work in 2002 after having been locked out by the employer group, the Pacific Maritime Association.Some jurisdictions prohibit all strikes by public employees, under laws such as the \"Taylor Law\" in New York. Other jurisdictions impose strike bans only on certain categories of workers, particularly those regarded as critical to society: police, teachers and firefighters are among the groups commonly barred from striking in these jurisdictions. Some states, such as New Jersey, Michigan, Iowa or Florida, do not allow teachers in public schools to strike. Workers have sometimes circumvented these restrictions by falsely claiming inability to work due to illness \u2014 this is sometimes called a \"sickout\" or \"blue flu\", the latter receiving its name from the uniforms worn by police officers, who are traditionally prohibited from striking. The term \"red flu\" has sometimes been used to describe this action when undertaken by firefighters.Often, specific regulations on strike actions exist for employees in prisons. The Code of Federal Regulations declares \"encouraging others to refuse to work, or to participate in a work stoppage\" by prisoners to be a \"High Severity Level Prohibited Act\" and authorizes solitary confinement for periods of up to a year for each violation.{{uscfr|28|541|3}} The California Code of Regulations states that \"[p]articipation in a strike or work stoppage\", \"[r]efusal to perform work or participate in a program as ordered or assigned\", and \"[r]ecurring failure to meet work or program expectations within the inmate's abilities when lesser disciplinary methods failed to correct the misconduct\" by prisoners is \"serious misconduct\" under \u00c2\u00a73315(a)(3)(L), leading to gang affiliation under CCR \u00c2\u00a73000.{{citation | title=California Code of Regulations \u00c2\u00a73000 | quote=Gang means any \u00e2\u0080\u00a6 formal or informal organization, association or group of three or more persons which has a common name or identifying sign or symbol whose members and/or associates, individually or collectively, engage or have engaged, on behalf of that organization, association or group, in two or more acts which include, \u00e2\u0080\u00a6 acts of misconduct classified as serious pursuant to section 3315.}}Postal workers involved in 1978 wildcat strikes in Jersey City, Kearny, New Jersey, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C. were fired under the presidency of Jimmy Carter, and President Ronald Reagan fired air traffic controllers and the PATCO union after the air traffic controllers' strike of 1981.\nFile:New York garbage cart being stoned.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Strikebreaking driver and cart being stoned during sanitation worker strike. New York CityNew York CityA strikebreaker (sometimes derogatorily called a scab, blackleg, or knobstick) is a person who works despite an ongoing strike. Strikebreakers are usually individuals who are not employed by the company prior to the trade union dispute, but rather hired after or during the strike to keep the organization running. \"Strikebreakers\" may also refer to workers (union members or not) who cross picket lines to work.Irwin, Jones, McGovern (2008) believe that the term \"scab\" is part of a larger metaphor involving strikes. They argue that the picket line is symbolic of a wound and those who break its borders to return to work are the scabs who bond that wound. Others have argued that the word is not a part of a larger metaphor but, rather, was an old-fashioned English insult whose meaning narrowed over time.\"Blackleg\" is an older word and is found in the late-nineteenth/early-twentieth century folk song from Northumberland, \"Blackleg Miner\". The term does not necessarily owe its origins to this tune of unknown origin. The song is, however, notable for its lyrics that encourage violent acts against strikebreakers.File:Chicago Tribune 1986 strikebreakers.jpg|thumb|175px|left|Strike breakers, Chicago Tribune strike, 1986, ChicagoChicago\nUnion strikebreaking\nThe concept of union strikebreaking or union scabbing refers to any circumstance in which union workers themselves cross picket lines to work.Unionized workers are sometimes required to cross the picket lines established by other unions due to their organizations having signed contracts which include no-strike clauses. The no-strike clause typically requires that members of the union not conduct any strike action for the duration of the contract; such actions are called sympathy or secondary strikes. Members who honor the picket line in spite of the contract frequently face discipline, for their action may be viewed as a violation of provisions of the contract. Therefore, any union conducting a strike action typically seeks to include a provision of amnesty for all who honored the picket line in the agreement that settles the strike.No-strike clauses may also prevent unionized workers from engaging in solidarity actions for other workers even when no picket line is crossed. For example, striking workers in manufacturing or mining produce a product which must be transported. In a situation where the factory or mine owners have replaced the strikers, unionized transport workers may feel inclined to refuse to haul any product that is produced by strikebreakers, yet their own contract obligates them to do so.Historically the practice of union strikebreaking has been a contentious issue in the union movement, and a point of contention between adherents of different union philosophies. For example, supporters of industrial unions, which have sought to organize entire workplaces without regard to individual skills, have criticized craft unions for organizing workplaces into separate unions according to skill, a circumstance that makes union strikebreaking more common. Union strikebreaking is not, however, unique to craft unions.\nAntistrike action\nMost strikes called by unions are somewhat predictable; they typically occur after the contract has expired. However, not all strikes are called by union organizations \u2014 some strikes have been called in an effort to pressure employers to recognize unions. Other strikes may be spontaneous actions by working people. Spontaneous strikes are sometimes called \"wildcat strikes\"; they were the key fighting point in May 1968 in France; most commonly, they are responses to serious (often life-threatening) safety hazards in the workplace rather than wage or hour disputes, etc.Whatever the cause of the strike, employers are generally motivated to take measures to prevent them, mitigate the impact, or to undermine strikes when they do occur.(File:Giant inflatable rat.jpg|thumb|right|200px|To bring public attention, a giant inflatable rat (named 'Scabby') is used in the U.S. at the site of a labor dispute. The rat represents strike-breaking replacement workers, otherwise known as 'scabs'.)\nStrike preparation\nCompanies which produce products for sale will frequently increase inventories prior to a strike. Salaried employees may be called upon to take the place of strikers, which may entail advance training. If the company has multiple locations, personnel may be redeployed to meet the needs of reduced staff.Companies may also take out strike insurance prior to an anticipated strike, to help offset the losses which the strike would cause.One of the weapons traditionally wielded by already-established unions is strike action. Some companies may decline entirely to negotiate with the union, and respond to the strike by hiring replacement workers. This may create a crisis situation for strikers \u2014 do they stick to their original plan and rely upon their solidarity, or is there a chance that the strike may be lost? How long will the strike last? Will strikers' jobs still be there if the strike fails? Are other strikers defecting from the strike? Companies that hire strikebreakers typically play upon these fears when they attempt to convince union members to abandon the strike and cross the union's picket line.Unions faced with a strikebreaking situation may try to inhibit the use of strikebreakers by a variety of methods \u2014 establishing picket lines where the strikebreakers enter the workplace; discouraging strike breakers from taking, or from keeping, strikebreaking jobs; raising the cost of hiring strikebreakers for the company; or employing public relations tactics. Companies may respond by increasing security forces and seeking court injunctions.Examining conditions in the late 1990s, John Logan observed that union busting agencies helped to \"transform economic strikes into a virtually suicidal tactic for U.S. unions.\" Logan further observed, \"as strike rates in the United States have plummeted to historic low levels, the demand for strike management firms has also declined.\"\"The Union Avoidance Industry in the United States\", British Journal of Industrial Relations, John Logan, Blackwell Publishing Ltd, December 2006, pages 651\u00e2\u0080\u0093675.In the U.S., as established in the National Labor Relations Act there is a legally protected right for private sector employees to strike to gain better wages, benefits, or working conditions and they cannot be fired. Striking for economic reasons (like protesting workplace conditions or supporting a union's bargaining demands) allows an employer to hire permanent replacements. The replacement worker can continue in the job and then the striking worker must wait for a vacancy. But if the strike is due to unfair labor practices, the strikers replaced can demand immediate reinstatement when the strike ends. If a collective bargaining agreement is in effect, and it contains a \"no-strike clause\", a strike during the life of the contract could result in the firing of all striking employees which could result in dissolution of that union. Although this is legal it could be viewed as union busting.\nSome companies negotiate with the union during a strike; other companies may see a strike as an opportunity to eliminate the union. This is sometimes accomplished by the importation of replacement workers, strikebreakers or \"scabs\". Historically, strike breaking has often coincided with union busting. It was also called 'Black legging' in the early 20th century, during the Russian socialist movement.Arthur Koestler, Darkness at Noon, p. 60.\n(File:Stanis\u00c5\u0082aw Lentz, Strajk.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Strike, painting by Stanis\u00c5\u0082aw Lentz)One method of inhibiting or ending a strike is firing union members who are striking which can result in elimination of the union.

PATCO reformed to become the National Air Traffic Controllers Association.File:Ob\u00c4\u009bti sr\u00c3\u00a1\u00c5\u00beky st\u00c3\u00a1vkuj\u00c3\u00adc\u00c3\u00adch s vojskem v dubnu 1917.jpg|thumb|Victims of a clash between striking workers and the army in Prost\u00c4\u009bjovProst\u00c4\u009bjovIn the U.S., as established in the National Labor Relations Act there is a legally protected right for private sector employees to strike to gain better wages, benefits, or working conditions and they cannot be fired. Striking for economic reasons (i.e., protesting workplace conditions or supporting a union's bargaining demands) allows an employer to hire permanent replacements. The replacement worker can continue in the job and then the striking worker must wait for a vacancy. But if the strike is due to unfair labor practices (ULP), the strikers replaced can demand immediate reinstatement when the strike ends. If a collective bargaining agreement is in effect, and it contains a \"no-strike clause\", a strike during the life of the contract could result in the firing of all striking employees which could result in dissolution of that union.\nAnother counter to a strike is a lockout, the form of work stoppage in which an employer refuses to allow employees to work. Two of the three employers involved in the Caravan park grocery workers strike of 2003-2004 locked out their employees in response to a strike against the third member of the employer bargaining group. Lockouts are, with certain exceptions, lawful under United States labor law.\nFile:Ramon Casas Charge.jpg|thumb|The charge by Ramon CasasRamon CasasHistorically, some employers have attempted to break union strikes by force. One of the most famous examples of this occurred during the Homestead Strike of 1892. Industrialist Henry Clay Frick sent private security agents from the Pinkerton National Detective Agency to break the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers strike at a Homestead, Pennsylvania steel mill. Two strikers were killed, twelve wounded, along with two Pinkertons killed and eleven wounded. In the aftermath, Frick was shot in the neck and then stabbed by Alexander Berkman, surviving the attack, while Berkman was sentenced to 22 years in prison.\nFinal Offer - A look at the 1984 contract negotiations between General Motors and its union.\nHarlan County, USA, Director: Barbara Kopple, USA 1976\u2013A documentary film about a very long and bitter strike of coal miners in Kentucky\nAmerican Dream, Director: Barbara Kopple, USA 1990 \u2013 A documentary film about the unsuccessful 1985-1986 meatpacker's strike against Hormel Foods in Austin, Minnesota.\nJimmy Hoffa, a labor union leader who ran the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT) union from 1958 until 1971, was portrayed by Robert Blake in the 1983 TV-film Blood Feud, Trey Wilson in the 1985 television miniseries Robert Kennedy & His Times, and by Jack Nicholson in the 1992 biographical film Hoffa.\nBastard Boys, A miniseries based on the 1998 Australian waterfront dispute.\nMade in Dagenham, A film about the strike by female employees at the Ford Motor company in the UK.\nThe Great Grunwick Strike 1976-1978 Director: Chris Thomas, Brent Trades Union Council (2007 film)\nStatschka (\"Strike\"), Director: Sergei Eisenstein, Soviet Union 1924\nBr\u00c3\u00bcder (\"Brother\"), Director: Werner Hochbaum, Germany 1929\u2013On the general strike in the port of Hamburg, Germany in 1896/97\nThe Stars Look Down, Director: Carol Reed, England 1939 \u2013 Film about a strike over safety standards at a coal mine in North-East England - based on the Cronin novel\nThe Grapes of Wrath a 1940 film by John Ford includes description of migrant workers striking, and its violent breaking by employers, assisted by the police.

Dr. Osei also revealed that many social vices and heinous crime were committed by people with mental illness.\n40% of all cases at any general hospital, he said, have some relationship with mental health problem. Over 300 types of mental illness, the Chief Executive Officer of Mental Health Authority said exists.\nSpeaking at a mental health stakeholders meeting in Accra, he called for, speeding passage of the Legislative Instrument [LI] on Ghana\u2019s Mental Health Act. Dr. Osei also said there was the need to reconstitute the governing council of the mental health board which GhanaNewsOnline.com.gh has gathered had not been in place for the past two years.\nCommenting on the passage of the mental health bill, the Speaker of Parliament, Professor Mike Oquaye assured stakeholders in the mental health care that the House will work towards the passage of the LI on Ghana\u2019s Mental Health Act.\nThe 2nd Lady, Mrs Samira Bawumia in her delivery called for collaborative effort to tackle mental health issues. She said \u201cMental illness can affect anyone. People pretend they are okay. Families and friends turn a blind eye. It is attributed to all sorts of superstition or they are in denial, probably in fear of stigmatization, until it is too late.\u201d\nMental health according to her was not a challenge for those who suffer from mental illness but also their dependants including the society at large.\nMs. Priscilla Owusu Sekyere, the country manager of Johnson and Johnson on her part, said, her outfit was fostering mental health partnerships with stakeholders to ensure that no patient was left behind.\nShe stated that Janssen was leading efforts at transforming mental health care by raising awareness, reducing the stigma associated with mental illness, building the capacity of healthcare professionals and improving access to health care.\nThe meeting was organized by the Mental Health Authority, in collaboration with Johnson and Johnson, a pharmaceutical and cosmetic company.

        "raw_content": "CRACKS AT THE CORE OF THE CORE / CREDIT BUBBLE BULLETIN\n| Etiquetas: Financial Markets, Stock Markets, World Economic And Political\nCracks at the Core of the Core\nJanuary 15 \u2013 Bloomberg (Matthew Boesler): \u201cThe U.S. economy should continue to grow faster than its potential this year, supporting further interest-rate increases by the Federal Reserve, New York Fed President William C. Dudley said. \u2018In terms of the economic outlook, the situation does not appear to have changed much\u201d since the Fed\u2019s Dec. 15-16 meeting, Dudley said, in remarks prepared for a speech Friday\u2026 He added that he continues \u2018to expect that the economy will expand at a pace slightly above its long-term trend in 2016,\u2019 and said future rate increases would depend on incoming economic data.\u201d\nJanuary 15 \u2013 Reuters (Ann Saphir): \u201cThe stock market's swoon does not change the economic outlook and is merely market participants trying to make sense of global developments, San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank President John Williams told reporters\u2026 \u2018As the Fed is moving gradually through a process of normalization it's not surprising that we are not going to be at the peak stock prices\u2019 of last year, Williams said. So far swings in stock market prices have not fundamentally changed his expectation for moderate economic growth, he said.\u201d\nThe world has changed significantly \u2013 perhaps profoundly \u2013 over recent weeks. The Shanghai Composite has dropped 17.4% over the past month (Shenzhen down 21%). Hong Kong\u2019s Hang Seng Index was down 8.2% over the past month, with Hang Seng Financials sinking 11.9%.\nWTI crude is down 26% since December 15th. Over this period, the GSCI Commodities Index sank 12.2%. The Mexican peso has declined almost 7% in a month, the Russian ruble 10% and the South African rand 12%. A Friday headline from the Financial Times: \u201cEmerging market stocks retreat to lowest since 09.\u201d\nTrouble at the \u201cPeriphery\u201d has definitely taken a troubling turn for the worse. Hope that things were on an uptrend has confronted the reality that things are rapidly getting much worse. This week saw the Shanghai Composite sink 9.0%. Major equities indexes were hit 8.0% in Russia and 5.0% in Brazil (Petrobras down 9%). Financial stocks and levered corporations have been under pressure round the globe. The Russian ruble sank 4.0%, increasing y-t-d losses versus the dollar to 7.1%. The Mexican peso declined another 1.8% this week. The Polish zloty slid 2.8% on an S&P downgrade (\u201cTumbles Most Since 2011\u201d). The South African rand declined 3.0% (down 7.9% y-t-d). The yen added 0.2% this week, increasing 2016 gains to 3.0%. With the yen up almost 4% versus the dollar over the past month, so-called yen \u201ccarry trades\u201d are turning increasingly problematic.\nImportantly, the past month has seen contagion effects from the collapsing Bubble at the Periphery penetrate the Fragile Core. Japan\u2019s Nikkei 225 index was down 7.6% over the past month. While bubbling securities markets have worked to underpin European economic recovery, now prepare for the downside. The German DAX is off 11% in the first two weeks of 2016, with stocks in Spain and Italy also sporting double-digit declines. France\u2019s CAC 40 is down 9.2% y-t-d. And highlighting a key Issue 2016, European bonds have provided little offsetting protection against major equity market losses. So far in 2016, German bund yields are down only eight bps. Yields are little changed in Spain and Italy. Sovereign yields are up 20 bps in Portugal and 130 bps in Greece. European corporate debt has posted small negative returns so far in 2016.\nRecent weeks point to decisive cracks at the \u201cCore\u201d of the U.S. financial Bubble. The S&P500 has been hit with an 8.0% two-week decline. Notably, favored stocks and sectors have performed poorly. Indicative of rapidly deteriorating economic prospects, the Dow Transports were down 10.9% to begin 2016. The banks (KBW) sank 12.9%, with the broker/dealers (XBD) down 14.1%. The Nasdaq100 (NDX) fell 10%. The Biotechs were down 16.0% in two weeks. The small cap Russell 2000 was hit 11.3%.\nBubbles tend to be varied and complex. In their most basic form, I define a Bubble as a self-reinforcing but inevitably unsustainable inflation. This inflation can be in a wide range of price levels \u2013 securities and asset prices, incomes, spending, corporate profits, investment and speculation. Such inflations are always fueled by some type of underlying monetary expansion \u2013 typically monetary disorder. Bubbles are always and everywhere a Credit phenomenon, although the underlying source of monetary fuel often goes largely unrecognized.\nI\u2019ll posit another key Bubble Dynamic: De-risking/de-leveraging at the Periphery is problematic, with a propensity for risk aversion and associated liquidity constraints to spur contagion effects. At the Core, de-risking/de-leveraging becomes highly destabilizing. Indeed, I would strongly argue that de-leveraging at the \u201cCore of the Core\u201d is tantamount to financial crisis.\nIt is the \u201cCore of the Core\u201d that now concerns me the most. It is here where Federal Reserve (and global central bank) policies have left their greatest mark. It is at the \u201cCore of the Core\u201d where momentous misperceptions and market mispricing have become deeply entrenched. It\u2019s the \u201cCore of the Core\u201d that has attracted enormous amounts of \u201cmoney\u201d over recent years. It\u2019s also here where I believe leverage has quietly been used most aggressively. Over recent years it became one massive Crowded Trade. Now the sophisticated players must contemplate beating the unsuspecting public to the exits.\nI\u2019ll return to \u201cCore of the Core\u201d analysis after a brief diversion to the \u201cCore of the Periphery.\u201d\nAt $275 billion, Chinese Credit growth surged in December to the strongest pace since June.\nWhile growth in new bank loans slowed (15% below estimates), equity and bond issuance jumped. China\u2019s total social financing expanded an enormous $2.2 TN in 2015, down slightly from booming 2014. Such rampant Credit growth was (barely) sufficient to sustain China\u2019s economic expansion. At the same time, I would argue that Chinese stocks, global commodities and developing securities markets in particular have been under intense pressure due to rapidly waning confidence in the sustainability of China\u2019s Credit Bubble.\nA similar dynamic is now unfolding in U.S. and other \u201cCore\u201d equities markets: Sustainability in the (U.S. and global) Credit Bubble - the monetary fuel underpinning the boom - is suddenly in doubt. The bulls, Fed officials and most others see the economy as basically sound, similar to how most conventional analysts argued about the Chinese economy over the past year. Inherent fragility and unsustainability are the key issues now driving securities markets \u2013 in China, in the U.S, and globally. And, importantly, sentiment has shifted to the view that policy tools have been largely depleted.\nJanuary 15 \u2013 Reuters (Trevor Hunnicutt): \u201cFund investors continued to sour on U.S. stocks and corporate debt during the weekly period that ended Jan 13, Lipper data showed\u2026, as risk appetite waned in the wake of global market turmoil. U.S.-based stock mutual funds and exchange-traded funds lost $9.0 billion to withdrawals during a week that saw U.S. stocks continue one of their worst starts to a new year\u2026 The outflows also included $5 billion pulled from one ETF alone: SPDR S&P 500 ETF\u2026 Before last week, ETF investors had been bullish on U.S. stocks, pumping money in for twelve weeks straight\u2026 Corporate bond funds suffered too. Investment-grade bond funds, widely held by retail investors, extended to eight straight weeks their streak of outflows after posting $740 million in outflows during the week. The two-month run of outflows now totals $15.4 billion, about 1.8% of the assets those funds held when the trend started\u2026\u201d\nJanuary 15 \u2013 Barron\u2019s (Chris Dieterich): \u201cMoney hemorrhaged from of mutual and exchange-traded funds for the second week in a row, EPFR Global data show\u2026 Global investors pulled $12 billion out of U.S equity funds and a combined $4.5 billion from high-yield bond, bank loan and total return funds in the week ended Jan. 23. Emerging-market funds shed cash for the 11th week in a row. Over the past two weeks, some $21 billion has come out of equity funds, still shy of the $36 billion during the August 2015 selloff.\u201d\nJanuary 15 \u2013 Bloomberg (Aleksandra Gjorgievska and Fion Li): \u201cExchange-traded funds that hold U.S. junk bonds dropped to their lowest levels since 2009 as the global growth fears that clobbered stock markets also raised doubts about whether companies\u2019 would continue to generate as much cash to pay their debt obligations.\u201d\nThis week saw the Bank of America Merrill Lynch High Yield Energy Bond Index trade to a record17.43% yield, surpassing the December 2008 high (from Barron\u2019s Amey Stone). \u201cTriple C\u201d bond yields jumped to 18.8%, the high since 2009 (FT\u2019s Joe Rennison). The yield on the Markit iBoxx Liquid High Yield index jumped this week to the highest level since 2012.\nReturning to \u201cCore of the Core\u201d analysis, investment-grade corporate debt has rather abruptly joined the market turmoil. After a rocky first week of 2016, investment-grade debt spreads widened again this week to a three-year high, as investment-grade funds suffered their eighth straight week of outflows.\n\u201cTriple A\u201d MBS occupied the mortgage finance Bubble\u2019s \u201cCore of the Core\u201d. GSE securities were perceived as \u201cmoney\u201d-like (\u201cMoneyness of Credit\u201d), with implied backings from the Treasury and Fed seemingly guaranteeing safety and liquidity. Throughout the global government finance Bubble period, I have often invoked the concept \u201cMoneyness of Risk Assets.\u201d With the Federal Reserve and global central banks determined to do just about anything to uphold booming securities markets, the marketplace perceived that safety and liquidity were virtually ensured. Trillions flowed into global stock and bond mutual funds, the majority into perceived low-risk U.S. equities indexes and investment-grade corporate debt products.\nIt is worth recalling that my tally of Total U.S. Securities (Treasuries, Agencies, Corp Bonds, Munis and Equities) ended Q2 2015 at a record $76.924 TN, or 429% of GDP. This was up $30.90 TN (77%) from 2008\u2019s $46.034 TN (313% of GDP) \u2013 and greatly exceeded 2007\u2019s $53.279 TN (368% of GDP).\nAnd as securities market inflation inflated Household Net Worth, spending increases bolstered corporate profits and income growth. Booming markets, especially ultra-easy financial conditions throughout the corporate Credit market, spurred stock buybacks and incited record M&A activity. As noted above, Bubbles are self-reinforcing but inevitably unsustainable.\nEspecially with faltering Bubbles at the \u201cCore of the Core,\u201d wealth effects will now operate in reverse. Spending (household and corporate) will slow, with domestic issues joining international to pummel corporate profits. Significant tightening in corporate Credit will weigh heavily on both stock repurchases and M&A. And as economic prospects darken at home and abroad, there will be reinforcing downward pressure on U.S. equities and investment-grade corporate debt.\nBack in 2000, Dallas Fed president Robert McTeer suggested that our economy\u2019s ills would be rectified \u201cif everyone would hold hands and buy an SUV.\u201d And for the next 15 years Fed policies did the unimaginable in the name of (indiscriminately) stimulating growth of any kind possible. And if epic mortgage finance Bubble financial and economic maladjustment was not enough, the past seven years have seen the type of financial folly and egregious wealth redistribution that tear societies apart.\nThe bottom line is that Bubbles destroy and redistribute wealth, though the true effects are masked for a while by inflated securities and asset markets \u2013 along with resulting unsustainable spending patterns and economic activity. Regrettably, years of policy mismanagement, gross financial excess, deep structural maladjustment and the most imbalanced economy in our nation\u2019s history will now come home to roost.\nAt this point, I cannot confidently forecast how quickly the bust will unfold. I do, however, believe this process has begun as Bubbles falter at the \u201cCore of the Core.\u201d\nTHE GLOBAL SLOWDOWN HITS THE U.S. / THE WALL STREET JOURNAL OP EDITORIAL\n| Etiquetas: Bond Markets, China, Credit Bubbles, Economics, Global Markets, The Fed, U.S. Economic And Political, World Economic And Political\nThe Global Slowdown Hits the U.S.\nAmerica dodged the Asian financial crisis of 1997-98, but much has changed. Today\u2019s world economic slide is starting to hurt us.\nPhoto: Getty Images/Hemera\nPlunging stock prices and slowing economic growth in China have raised anew the question of how much events abroad really matter to the U.S. Many of the answers are quite placid, drawing on the precedents of the 1997-98 Asian financial crisis, when there was similar concern about impacts at home, which never came. The U.S. grew at a 4.5% annual pace during those two years. For much of 2015, when U.S. growth remained steady despite volatile and weak growth in the rest of the world, the optimists said it was like 1997-98 all over again.\nThat may be, but the world has changed a lot in two decades. After 1998, the U.S. share of global GDP topped out at 32% but has since fallen to 24%, based on my analysis of raw data from the International Monetary Fund, while the emerging-world share bottomed out at 20% but has since doubled to nearly 40%. In that time, China has supplanted the U.S. as the largest contributor to global growth.\nThe assumption that the U.S. isn\u2019t much influenced by events abroad may be subtly reinforced by widespread talk about \u201cdeglobalization,\u201d but this is a bit of a misnomer. While for the first time in decades global trade is no longer growing faster than the global economy, it has retreated only slightly from its peak of around 60% of global GDP in 2012, and is still way up from 45% at the time of the Asian financial crisis, according to data from Haver Analytics. The trading world is much more interconnected than it was in 1998, and since that year the share of foreign trade in the U.S. economy has risen from 18% to 23%.\nThe sanguine narrative argues that the U.S. is again the safest house in a volatile world, but in the latter half of 2015 signs started to emerge of a slowdown in the U.S. The 2.8% growth rate in the first half dropped in the third quarter and is expected to come in below 2% for the fourth quarter, amid growing signs that this U.S. recovery was more subject to global forces than its predecessors. Since the recovery began in 2009, exports have contributed 15% of U.S. growth, up from an average of 9% during the previous seven postwar recoveries.\nThe first signs of U.S. weakness emerged in manufacturing, which is deeply influenced by the global economy. Though manufacturing represents a shrinking share of the U.S. economy, now 12% of GDP, it is still a leading indicator, in part because of the outsize role it plays in the financial markets.\nManufacturing industries account for some 60% of profits among companies on the S&P 500, which are increasingly reliant on foreign sales. In this decade, American companies have earned 27% of their profits overseas, compared with 17% in the 1990s. By the second half of last year, surveys of manufacturing had started signaling a significant slowdown, with one suggesting a possible contraction.\nIn 1998 manufacturing and export weakness was offset in the U.S. by falling oil prices, declining interest rates and surging consumer demand. But here too much has changed. In the past, Americans spent virtually all of the windfall from falling oil prices, boosting the economy.\nThis time they are saving 40% of the windfall, perhaps still unnerved by the 2008 crisis.\nSince 1998 the U.S. has also emerged as the world\u2019s largest oil producer. The shale energy boom has increased oil production from eight million barrels a day to 12 million. Though America is still a net importer of crude oil, it has become a net exporter of petroleum products, and investment in energy has been hit hard by the sudden drop in oil prices. When oil prices rallied a bit to $60 a barrel in mid-2015, markets expected the price to stabilize. Then it dropped again, driven in part by falling demand in China, to just above $30.\nThat delivered a psychological shock, which is at least comparable to the dot-com bust of 2000.\nIn late 2014 the total energy investment of large American companies peaked at 2.3% of GDP, nearly double the peak in 2000 for telecom, media and technology investment. The dot-com bust led to a brief recession the following year, and while the shale-oil bust may not cause an outright recession, it is already undermining growth. Since December 2014, energy investment among large U.S. companies has fallen 22% to $340 billion, according to Empirical Research Partners.\nThe credit markets sense trouble. Since 2009 the U.S. junk-bond market has increased by around 80% to $1.3 trillion; the market for energy junk bonds has increased even faster, up 180% to more than $200 billion, fueled by the Fed\u2019s easy-money policies. Since the Fed began signaling an end to those policies in mid-2014, leading to a surging dollar and falling oil prices, the shale credit boom has been threatening to go bust.\nThe Fed\u2014which had room to lower rates during the 1997-98 Asian crisis\u2014doesn\u2019t have the same options now that rates are near zero. That doesn\u2019t mean a recession is coming: U.S. households have cut back their debt and increased savings, job growth continues at a decent pace, and America still relies more on exports to Europe and Japan than to slowing China. But this does suggest that 2016 forecasts for U.S. growth that begin with a 2 may have to be revised to begin with a 1. The global slowdown is coming here.\nMr. Sharma is the head of emerging markets and global macro at Morgan Stanley Investment Management, and the author of \u201cThe Rise and Fall of Nations\u201d coming in June from Norton.\nA NEW HOUSING CRISIS THAT MAY DERAIL THE MIDDLE CLASS / YAHOO FINANCE\n| Etiquetas: Economics, Housing, Middle Class, U.S. Economic And Political\nA new housing crisis that may derail the middle class\nBy Glenn Kelman, CEO of Redfin\nDavid Paul Morris | Bloomberg | Getty Images.\nThe lack of new housing created during this economic recovery threatens to undermine the future of many US cities and the middle class.\nAmerica's future is happening first here, in Seattle. Just this year, Seattle technology jobs increased 21 percent. Housing prices rose 12 percent. And all the people who built this city out of coffee, lumber and airplanes have struggled to keep up.\nOnly a third of Seattle homebuyers outside of technology now report being confident they'll be able to afford to live here in 10 years. The same thing will happen in Austin, Boston, Denver, Portland and, eventually, to a dozen other American cities that will become less affordable over the next decade.\nThe problem is housing.\nWhen we talk about a city's cost of living, we don't mean food, transportation or clothing, which cost about the same everywhere. We mean housing.\nWe need a government policy all-out in favor of more, denser housing.\nHousing is in short supply. For the 40 years prior to 2008, ground was broken on an average of nearly 1.6 million housing units per year. Starts over the past seven years averaged 788,000; even in 2015, a boom year, starts were only 1.1 million.\nWhat happened to the laws of supply and demand? From 2010 to 2013, home prices were 56 percent higher than construction costs, an increase from the 1990s when home prices were 33 percent higher than construction costs; most economists attribute this increase to zoning laws designed to preserve a city's character and to protect home prices.\nIn Seattle, there are 40 percent fewer homes on the market than just a year ago, yet this summer, the city council flip-flopped on the mayor's plan to support more high-density construction after neighborhood associations revolted; even with people marching in the streets for affordable housing, only 37 percent of Seattle homebuyers support denser development.\nWith Seattle's racial diversity a centerpiece of the failed plan, the fight to preserve local character has become fraught with uncomfortable implications. In Boulder, Colorado, this fall, the rallying cry of residents who attempted to prevent any zoning changes was, \"They're coming for our neighborhoods.\" The maze of NIMBYs (\"Not in my backyard\"), pols and community organizations a mayor has to win over to get anything built in San Francisco is so complicated, it's now a board game.\nThere are small signs of change. Austin has a new zoning initiative explicitly defined to create a more affordable, integrated city. Seattle just announced $45 million in funding for affordable housing, raised in part from local developers. But this is a far cry from the all-out effort to keep housing costs low that we'd pursue if our priority was the people who need affordable housing, not the ones who already have it. As it stands today, housing is the only consumer good where any price drop is universally viewed by the government as a calamity.\nOn a national scale, the impact of this mentality is breathtaking. The migration from poor areas to rich areas that defined American history for a century is, according to academics, reversing, a phenomenon the mayor of Oklahoma City has described as the \"Wrath of Grapes.\"\nThese same academics note that janitors now earn less in New York after housing costs than in the Deep South. They argue that limits in housing supply are driven by land-use regulations and increase a city's wealth disparity.\nEmployers are as sensitive to housing costs as their employees, which is why, when we build more houses, we create more jobs. Google (NASDAQ: GOOGL) and Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) are opening campuses across the U.S. because even software engineers can no longer afford San Francisco, where the median home price just topped $1 million . Businesses move jobs across the country or overseas to find places where the same wages can still offer a comfortable life, which begins with a home you can afford.\nThis is a problem we can solve. It's hard to improve our schools. It's hard to redistribute wealth created by the concentration of technological and financial power or to increase middle-class wages. But it might be easier to lower middle-class costs by building more housing.\nFirst, federal immigration reform would help. The top new piece of legislation on the lobbying list for the National Association of Homebuilders is immigration reform, to give builders more skilled workers from outside the U.S. How serious is the labor shortage? Builders today are hiring security guards to patrol construction sites, not to safeguard lumber but to prevent recruiters from poaching their people.\nWe also need federal support for low-income lending; at the moment in 2008 when home prices plummeted, the government essentially outlawed private lending to the working class without adequately funding public programs to fill the gap. The result was nearly a decade of profiteering from cash investors who bought distressed properties for pennies on the dollar, then rented them at above-market rates to folks who couldn't qualify for a mortgage.\nBut the heroes in this story will be our cities. It should be clear by now to the mayor of every major city that deregulating new construction is key to preventing inequality, sprawl and job losses. And the time is now. When homes are built in an area, anyone can see that change in this boom-and-bust nation happens unevenly, with things staying the same for decades, then changing almost overnight.\nA middle-class-friendly housing policy would be aggressively focused on causing a glut of housing, but current policy instead causes a shortage \u2014 of fairly historic proportions \u2014 causing our cities to become unaffordable, with lower job growth.\nIt's a little scary to imagine how different our neighborhoods will be if we welcome the growth now coming to many American cities. But what will happen if we don't? Americans will always be protective of where we live, and rightly so. But improving the affordability and diversity of our neighborhoods can enrich their history and character and enrich this nation.\n\u2014 By Glenn Kelman, CEO of real estate brokerage company Redfin\nBRITAIN\u00b4S BREXIT TANTRUM GRATES IN A BRITTLE WORLD BUT THE DIE IS CAST / THE TELEGRAPH\n| Etiquetas: Brexit, China, Europe Economic and Political, Germany, NATO, United Kingdom\nBritain's Brexit tantrum grates in a brittle world but the die is cast\nDeclassified US intelligence files show that Washington funded the EU project for decades, but the US would adapt to a post-Brexit UK\nDavid Cameron did not know that the world was about to turn nasty when he first set the EU referendum in motion in early 2013 Photo: AFP\nMoral blackmail is creeping into the Brexit debate.\nWe are told that it would be deeply irresponsible to walk away from the European project at a moment when the EU is struggling for its life, and doubly wicked to do so in the midst of a geostrategic storm that threatens to overwhelm the Western liberal democracies.\nIt is certainly a dangerous time. An exhausted America has lost the will to police the Middle East, leaving a lethal vacuum and a three-way struggle between Saudi Arabia, Iran and a neo-Ottoman Turkey drifting ever further from the Western camp.\nFour wars are raging across the region, and we are not far from an epic settling of scores between the Sunnis and Shias. The ISIS caliphate still controls Mosul, Iraq's second city, and jihadi ideology is spreading across southern Asia. Even the Maldives have become an ISIS recruiting ground.\nAn exhausted America has lost the will to police the Middle East\nChina blows hot and cold. It chose to work hand in glove with the US at the Paris climate summit, but is acting as a predatory imperial power in its own neighbourhood, asserting military control over the reefs and atols of the South China Sea with complete disregard for the competing claims of other states.\nBeijing has shrugged off a case lodged by the Philippines at the international tribunal in The Hague, even though it is a signatory to the convention on the law of the seas. This is the litmus test of Xi Jinping's \"China Dream\".\nA heavily-armed Russia has overturned a recognized border by military invasion, the first time this has happened in Europe since the Second World War. It has violated its solemn pledge in the 1994 Budapest accords to uphold the territory of Ukraine after Kiev agreed to give up its nuclear weapons.\nTo the extent that Vladimir Putin has been checked, it is in part because he has so far failed to break Europe's unified front. He admitted to Bild Zeitung this week that Western sanctions are \"severely harming Russia\", as indeed they are, since the freeze on foreign funding has compounded the crash in oil prices.\nA heavily-armed Russia has overturned a recognized border by military invasi\u00f3n\nYet he is still testing the credibility of Nato's Article 5 on a weekly basis. Nato jets had to scramble 160 times last year to intercept Russian aircraft over the Baltics.\nIt is a little disturbing that India, Brazil and South Africa - though democracies - have refused to utter a whisper of reproof against Russia for tearing up the rules of global governance. The \"Brics\" alliance comes first.\nDavid Cameron did not, of course, know that the world was about to turn nasty when he first set the EU referendum in motion in early 2013, but critics are clearly right that this is a terrible time for Britain to throw a tantrum.\nEven so, it is a stretch to argue that Britons should forgo their one chance to restore full parliamentary control over their laws, courts and borders, given that this referendum is surely the only chance they have to issue their verdict on 40 years of EU conduct. Alea iacta est.\nIt is a stretch to argue that Britons should forgo their one chance to restore full parliamentary control over their laws, courts and borders\nThere is no necessary reason why Brexit should in any way alter the UK's role in the security structure. It remains a member of Nato. European defence is, in any case, a Franco-British venture, and this would go on exactly as before.\nNor should we forget what happened when France and Britain went to war in Libya in 2011 to prevent a massacre in Benghazi, backed by the Arab League, Spain and Italy, and acting under the United Nations' \"duty to protect\".\nGermany lined up with the dictatorships in the Security Council against its EU allies, much to the disgust of former vice-chancellor Joschka Fischer. You can argue that the Libyan campaign was ill-conceived, but you cannot pretend that there was any such thing as an EU foreign policy.\nNeedless to say, Washington wants Britain inside the EU tent making the Atlanticist case for it.\nWe know from declassified State Department files that US intelligence agencies funded the proto-EU movement in the 1950s and 1960s, using a network of spies from the former Office of Strategic Services under General William Donovan to funnel money to front groups.\nWashington wants Britain inside the EU tent Photo: AFP/GETTY\nThe documents show that leaders of the European Movement and others who played a key role in the creation of European Community were treated as hired hands in Washington's Cold War strategy, receiving half their budget from the US. The EU has always been an American project, even if it later slipped US control.\nAmerica prefers to deal with a unified Europe as a matter of convenience and its anti-Brexit rhetoric should be taken with a pinch of salt. The White House would come to terms with the reality of British withdrawal within 24 hours, seeking the best way to perpetuate a historic alliance under what is for them slightly altered circumstances. The relationship would probably be even closer.\nAn incendiary column by a Dutch writer in The Guardian this week argued that the EU should \"turn the tables on bullying Britain\" and punish us for kicking Europe when it is down, and for behaving badly when the world is going to ruin. He urged Brussels to \"spell out all the ways in which we will make the English suffer\".\nIt is an attitude one encounters from time to time in the corridors of the Berlaymont and the Justus Lipsius building, but it is an odd argument to make if you are worried about global stability. European leaders must operate in the real world. They will surely be keener to bury the hatchet and reach a modus vivendi with the UK as soon as possible, precisely because the strategic stakes are so high.\nPersonally, I have not yet decided how to vote, hesitant perhaps because I have spent so much of the past quarter-century grappling with the politics of Europe. My decision will be based on:\n1) Whether Brexit poisons relations between England and Scotland, and whether it creates an impossible situation for Ireland, a country for which we have a special duty of care. Concord within these Isles' matters must be paramount.\n2) Whether Britain's withdrawal would upset the internal chemistry of the EU, lead to a toxic German hegemony that the Germans themselves do not want, and ultimately set in motion a disorderly breakdown of the European system.\n3) Whether the whole process of EU integration has run it course, and it is safe to conclude that our sovereign parliaments will be respected, or whether the elites will continue to seize on every crisis to push further.\n4) Whether we can share a judicial union - with an automatic EU arrest warrant on the word of a magistrate, who may or may not be a scoundrel - with three or four member countries under authoritarian control, either led by pocket-Putins, or without a safe rule of law and a free press, and in two cases essentially mafia states.\nTheresa May's decision to opt back into 35 criminal and police \"JHA\" measures when we had a legal opt-out will weigh heavily. She did so overriding the scrutiny reserve resolution of Parliament and in breach of Cabinet Office guidelines.\n5) Whether the eurozone can ever be made to work, or whether it is a doomsday machine with a depressionary Fiscal Compact and misaligned exchange rates that will grate forever, so distorting the EU that its all-consuming mission is just to save the euro, and by whatever means.\nAny scare tactics, let alone threats from Brussels, will harden British euroscepticism. An appeal to altruism, to the national myth of fair play, has a much higher chance of succeeding.\nAs for Mr Cameron's four negotiating points: what were they again?\nHUMANIZING AN INHUMAN FUTURE / PROJECT SYNDICATE\n| Etiquetas: Human Behaviour, Science And Technology\nHumanizing an Inhuman Future\nWASHINGTON, DC \u2013 The impact that groundbreaking technological advances like artificial intelligence will have on the functioning of our economies and labor markets has been a hot topic for a long time. But Jerry Kaplan\u2019s recent book Humans Need Not Apply: A Guide to Wealth and Work in the Age of Artificial Intelligence has impressed upon me the true size of the socioeconomic stakes.\nOne relatively well-known example of the digital revolution\u2019s impact on the workings of markets is the ability to earn huge returns in high-speed trading by being a microsecond \u201cahead\u201d of everyone else. Another is the capacity for price discrimination by new electronic market makers like Uber, which thus appropriate every penny of the old \u201cconsumer surplus\u201d of microeconomic theory. Soon a new kind of enhanced Uber could emerge, integrating car, bus, ship, airplane travel, and hotel rooms into one super-app. In fact, some car manufacturers are now working on exactly that.\nA key question is why good old competition does not whittle away these profits rapidly. The answer often lies in the business model. Companies borrow a lot to start up, accumulate large fixed costs, and offer such low prices at first that they lose money. This enables them to expand their businesses virtually competition-free until they have established what is essentially a monopoly. At that point, they can hike prices and engage in price discrimination relatively freely.\nAs Kaplan points out, that is precisely what Amazon has done. It first achieved massive scale, enabling it to store unordered products at diffuse locations and thereby reduce transport costs.\nNow it can offer fast and free delivery, which smaller companies cannot beat. Add to that complex algorithms that set prices in a way that maximizes profits, and the company\u2019s dominance seems relatively secure.\nAs this approach facilitates the rise of global super-firms, it creates serious problems for labor markets and societies, because it destroys mid-level jobs based on old skills faster than comparable jobs based on new skills can be created. Equally serious, it contributes to shocking levels of income equality, with a few households not only enjoying massive wealth, but also wielding considerable political influence. If income becomes too concentrated too quickly, desired investment will tend to fall short of available savings, creating a Keynesian macroeconomic imbalance. (Contrary to popular belief, what matters is not the actual amount of income flowing toward top earners, but the changes in that income.)\nAs it stands, the impact of these technological disruptions remains relatively small in the advanced countries. But it could affect some 20% of GDP and 40% of jobs by 2030. That is a huge shift, happening at an unprecedented speed.\nThough we are becoming accustomed to breaking records \u2013 in 2013, more than 90% of all data ever accumulated in human history had been accumulated in the previous two years \u2013 the reality is that the speed and scale of this transformation pose major challenges. If we fail to address them adequately, the outcome is unlikely to be a safer and more prosperous society, but rather one in which frustration and hopelessness increase, potentially leading to extreme behaviors.\nOne proposal, made by Kaplan, is to create a \u201cjob mortgage.\u201d Companies with a future need for certain skills would become a kind of sponsor, involving potential future job offers, to a person willing to acquire those skills. The worker could secure a loan against their projected future income to finance their studies. The loans would be repaid once the job began. If no job materialized, the individual would be held responsible for repaying only a fraction of the loan, with the balance absorbed by the company, which thus bears a share of the risk. There would also be a cap on repayments as a percentage of income.\nOther proposals focus on reforming legal frameworks to reflect more accurately new ways of working. For example, those who are partly self-employed and partly employed by a third party would have to be better incorporated into social policies.\nSuch changes would undoubtedly be useful. But none of these proposals reflects the scale of the transformation that we are confronting. What we really need is fundamentally to transform the way our societies function \u2013 and fast.\nFrance Strat\u00e9gie, which advises the French government, and the American entrepreneur Nick Hanauer have proposed social-policy reforms that share a similar conceptual foundation.\nIndividuals earn \u201cclaims\u201d over their lifetimes, first by being legal residents, and then by, say, obtaining educational degrees, earning professional certifications, performing community service (including military service), and making money. These claims can be exchanged for various benefits, such as family leave, retraining, or supplementary retirement income. The system would include all residents and be completely portable, with plenty of room for people to choose how and when to use their claims. Complementary arrangements \u2013 with, say, potential employers offering additional credits for retraining \u2013 could also be implemented.\nAt the same time, governments must upgrade competition policy to protect against the emergence of global monopolies. Here, new mega-regional trade deals, such as the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership and the Trans-Pacific Partnership, should prove invaluable, provided that today\u2019s powerful players are not permitted to dictate terms that advance only their interests. International cooperation should also be strengthened to prevent multinationals from avoiding taxes by shifting profits among jurisdictions. Such tax avoidance has reached hundreds of billions of dollars.\nTinkering with existing systems will not be enough to prepare us for the technology-driven transformation that we are facing. We need a comprehensive strategy aimed at making markets \u2013 and politics \u2013 truly competitive, and ensuring that public policy works for the benefit of all.\nRead more at https://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/technological-transformation-strategy-needed-by-kemal-dervis-2016-01#WD7iih0Wb466QKIH.99\nDENIAL IS NOT JUST A RIVER IN EGYPT / DAVE\u00b4S DAILY\nDenial Is Not Just Not A River In Egypt\nA one-day oversold rally didn\u2019t do the trick for bulls as Friday\u2019s reversal was severe.\nCurrently markets are marching lock-step lower with oil markets.\nSome are calling for $20 oil in the near future which, if it happens, would devastate both small and large producers alike.\nConsider all the debt exploration and producing company\u2019s carry and bankruptcy would occur trickling down thru the financial system. What could stop this from occurring is an intervention by OPEC producers and even a war between the Saudi\u2019s and Iran. The latter would quickly see prices explode higher.\nThursday\u2019s bizarre oversold short squeeze rally saw no follow-through Friday but the opposite occurred with new lows the feature. Headline market sectors are quickly down nearly 10% YTD with others falling nearly 20% YTD. This puts us near bear market territory. Europe and emerging markets are already in bear markets with many in recession. Institutional investors are in shock and denial this is happening.\nWhen markets display this kind of behavior given many oversold rally failures, then we\u2019d have to admit markets are in great trouble.\nWhose fault is it? It\u2019s easy to pin blame on the Fed since they\u2019ve created this situation.

PPI declined to -0.2% vs prior 0.3%; Retail Sales were down to -0.1% vs prior 0.4%; Empire State Manufacturing Survey collapsed to -19.37vs prior -4.59; Industrial Production down to -0.4% vs prior -0.9%; Business Inventories down to -0.2% vs prior 0.1% and consumer Sentiment rose to 93.3 vs prior 92.6 (with focus on cheaper gas and heating oil).\nStocks were crushed again on heavy volume as market sell-off may become a full-fledged bear market with a follow-on recession.\nMarket sectors moving higher included: Volatility (VIX), Treasury Bonds (TLT), Gold (GLD) and little else.\nMarket sectors moving lower included: Everything else.\nBelow is the heat map from Finviz reflecting those ETF market sectors moving higher (green) and falling (red).\nDependent on the day (green) may mean leveraged inverse or leveraged short (red).\nVolume was once again heavy and breadth per the WSJ was quite negative.\nU.S. Market Sectors & ETFs (12)\nCommodity & Currency ETFs (10)\nXLB WEEKLY\nXLI WEEKLY\nXLV WEEKLY\nXRT WEEKLY\nXLP WEEKLY\nITB WEEKLY\nHYG WEEKLY\nCYB WEEKLY\nGLD MONTHLY\nGDX MONTHLY\nDBB MONTHLY\nDBA WEEKLY\nDBC MONTHLY\nGiven Wednesday\u2019s collapse and Thursday\u2019s rally, Friday\u2019s sharp decline puts us in short-term oversold conditions but also worse than unstable.\nSure, it\u2019s likely to respond positively to any rally in crude oil just so it\u2019s not due to any geopolitical events between Iran and Saudi Arabia.\nWe\u2019re flat and have been in cash since the last day of 2015.\nI\u2019m desirous of shorting but need to wait for short-term oversold conditions to moderate.\nTrading stops are too far away allowing for too much risk.\nThis is the worst yearly start ever for most equity indexes ever even going back to Dow in 1928.\nCRACKS AT THE CORE OF THE CORE / CREDIT BUBBLE BUL...\nTHE GLOBAL SLOWDOWN HITS THE U.S. / THE WALL STREE...\nA NEW HOUSING CRISIS THAT MAY DERAIL THE MIDDLE CL...\nBRITAIN\u00b4S BREXIT TANTRUM GRATES IN A BRITTLE WORLD...\nDENIAL IS NOT JUST A RIVER IN EGYPT / DAVE\u00b4S DAILY...\nWILL ABENOMICS 2.0 BE ENOUGH TO \"BRING JAPAN BACK ...\nMINI--REPUBLICS: A SYRIAN VILLAGE SEEKS TO SURVIVE...\nWHAT BLOWS UP NEXT ?

        "raw_content": "Home News Chariot Festival Celebrated in Gothenburg\nLord Jagannath\u2019s Chariot Festival (Rath Yatra) was celebrated in Gothenburg by singing devotional songs, changing mantras and dancing in religious ecstasy. The chariot was adorned with the idols of Lord Jagannath, Lord Balabhadra and their sister Subhadra, and it was pulled and pushed up and down Avenyn by devotees of Hare Krishna or International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) \u2013 a denomination of Hinduism that is popular in the West.\nLord Jagannath, Lord Balabhadra and their sister Subhadra\nGovindas the temple-cum-restaurant of ISKCON in Gothenburg organized the chariot festival to mark the celebration of Lord Jagannath\u2019s Rath Yatra.\nThe chariot resembling like a Hindu temple started its journey at Stenhammarsgatan the little side street next to the Poseidon at G\u00f6taplatsen, and journeyed up to Tr\u00e4dg\u00e5rdsf\u00f6reningen the Botanical Society of Gothenburg and took a turn back to G\u00f6taplatsen.\nMore than 100 devotees sang and danced, and also distributed sweets (prasadam) to the passers-by and bystanders and onlookers.\nA passer-by taking note of the chariot festival \u2013 the cultural diversity of the city\nGothenburgers demonstrated their secular credentials by taking photographs, accepting sweets, and some stood solemnly until the chariot passed by as a mark of respect, and no unpleasant incident was happened.\nThe 3-hour-long journey paused on its way to give an opportunity for people to see the idols for it happens only once a year like in Puri in the eastern Indian state of Odisha.\nPradeep Sriraman is an IT consultant from India who has come to Sweden on an assignment, and is living in Gothenburg. He said he felt blessed to take party in the chariot festival for he is a theist. He said, \u201cYesterday I just saw the post in Facebook, so, it made me to join the Rath Yatra.\u201d\nRath Yatra is a defining feature of Hindu temples, says Darepalli Ravi Kumar from Hyderabad in India. He came to attend the festival along with his mother. He said, it was a great opportunity to participate in the chariot festival that too in Sweden, and seek the blessings of Lord Jagannath, Lord Balabhadra and Subhadra.\nThe festival became the major attraction for visitors\nRaju Prasad Yadav came with his family, and also helped the organizers in making the event successful. He said that the chariot festival is an ancient festival from time immemorial. He noted that this festival in the West was the result of ISKCON founder Srila Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada. \u201cFortunately, today is the day in 1967 he started the rath yatra in San Francisco from then on we are celebrating.\u201d\nLord Jagannath\u2019s Rath Yatra is one of most popular festivals in Hindu calendar and the Indian city Puri receives millions of tourists and pilgrims for the festival.\n\u201cAs every year Lord Jaganatha, Lord Baladeva and Srimati Subhadra come to Gothenborg and give their Darshan to the crowd. It is a very auspicious event so please take the opportunity to join us when we walk up and down the Avenue and distribute the Holy Name and Sweet balls to the people. The Ratha Yatra festival is a very big event in India and even here in Sweden the Lord gives us the possibility to serve him,\u201d said Govindas. After the festival, the temple hosted a prasadam (feast without a price to pay) to the devotees as a gesture of goodwill.\nThe chariot and the devotees at G\u00f6taplatsen\nRain was predicted during the day but during the chariot festival there was no rain, but it came with hailstones after 8 pm. Some parts of Gothenburg received a downpour and others saw hailstones hitting the roofs and pavements.\nGovindas i G\u00f6teborg\nPrevious articleLack of Tactile Love\nNext articleCheesy Matters of Divorcees\nKD in Gotheburg: \u2018Companies create jobs, jobs create welfare, so companies...\nWill the Dream Return to Hj\u00e4lbo?\nAccept, Except, Exception, Excerpt, Acceptor, Excerption\nGaff, Gaffe",

        "raw_content": "It used to be just an old-guy technique, something you might grasp at when all else failed with your putting stroke. Now young guys are using it, and winning with it, and the subject is a matter of international debate, compelling sports fans to learn words like \u201cbifurcation.\u201d\nGee whiz, Craig Foster says. It didn\u2019t have to come to this.\nThe technique is \u201canchoring,\u201d and though the word has other definitions in other life endeavors, in golf it means taking a longer-than-normal putter and jamming it firmly into your belly to negate the effects of nerves (shot) and grip (shaky) on the strike-through.\nBifurcation, in this discussion, refers to the real possibility that the USGA and the Royal and Ancient might, for the first time, establish different rules for amateurs and professionals. Pros, including 26-year-old Keegan Bradley, who won the 2011 PGA Championship, would be barred from anchoring if the golf governing bodies\u2019 joint proposal is implemented.\nFoster is an Olympia, Wash., golf club technician, musician and inventor.\nHe doesn\u2019t like to be a grump, generally, but anchoring isn\u2019t fair, he says, and furthermore, it\u2019s unnecessary.\nTry this, he says. Try DynAlign, a \u201cdynamic alignment\u201d technique that uses the natural angles of the skeleton to keep a putter firmed up and on target.\nTo help us get an idea about DynAlign, Foster made an edit for YouTube of a recent interview with Danielle Tucker on The Golf Club radio show from Hawaii. While you\u2019re at YouTube, you\u2019ll find several other short videos about DynAlign.\nDynAlign\u2019s main professional advocate is Steve Elkington, a newly minted 50-year-old, who has taken his refreshed putting stroke (thanks to DynAlign) to the Champions Tour.\nElkington is a founder of Secret in the Dirt, a Website where the game of golf, the long and short of it, is obsessed over, dissected, and bi- and trifurcated. All of Foster\u2019s full-length videos are available at Secret in the Dirt.\nIt\u2019s certainly possible to think too much about golf, and there is much of biomechanical science in the DynAlign technique. Foster has done all the thinking so you don\u2019t have to.\n\u201cAnchoring,\u201d as defined in the field of psychology, is a common cognitive bias whereby a person clings to an initial judgment or belief despite new information that contradicts it.\nCraig Foster would say, \u201cGet over it.\u201d\nHis putting technique is simple \u2013 to learn and to use \u2013 and it will always be legal. The debate over anchoring will be somebody else\u2019s problem.",

        "raw_content": "Vernon Hershberger Farm Member Speaks Out for Raw Milk Freedom\nFiled Under: Food Politics | May 8, 2013\nJoy Martinson Speaks Out on Raw Milk\nRaw Milk Should be Just as Available as Processed Foods, Tobacco and Alcohol\nGuest blog by Joy Martinson\nPoor health reduced me, literally, to a nonfunctioning being. In excruciating pain, I lay in bed praying to die. Conventional doctors could find nothing wrong \u2013 their only remedy being antidepressants which I chose not to take. I changed my diet to include only raw foods. I have improved healthfully every single day and I now enjoy a full and rewarding life.\nI am an informed consumer and I choose to obtain healthy food directly from the farmer without government intervention. I am a member of the private food co-op located at the Vernon Hershberger farm in Loganville. He and his family house, feed and take loving care of our animals. They gather the eggs, milk the cows and perform all farm tasks on our behalf and we compensate them for this service when we pick up our food. Unfortunately, there are those who believe it is their right to prevent me from acquiring the foods that are responsible for my return to good health. And yet, I fully support those who wish to choose processed foods, tobacco, alcohol, etc. \u2013 all under the control of a government who claims to be looking out for our best interests.\nWe will never be in agreement, but we can certainly co-exist.\nRaw food is the food my creator has provided to fuel my body. There are no creatures on this earth who are required to adulterate their food in order to thrive. I have complete faith that God-given foods (in the form which He created) are safe and I have absolutely no fear when consuming same.\nAs with all food products, one needs to be familiar with the source to know that the food is being raised in a natural, healthy and uncontaminated manner. With raw milk in particular, we only need to look at the human example to understand the difference between safe and unsafe. A healthy mom, eating a nutritious diet, provides the perfect food for her newborn, her breast milk. Whereas, a child feeding on the breast milk of a drug-addicted mother will not flourish.\nSo when that huge conglomerate known as our \u201cdairy industry\u201d spouts of the dangers of raw milk, I agree wholeheartedly. THEIR raw milk CAN KILL YOU. If mega-farm raw milk were to become available for my purchase, I wouldn\u2019t go near it, nor should anyone else. It is no longer, in any way, shape or form, a God-given food. It has been adulterated by human greed.\nI do not pretend to have superior knowledge of raw milk. I have no sort of higher education or accreditation. I cannot spout statistics or speak of this study or that. What I do have is my life experiences. And I listen carefully as other individuals relate their experiences. From this, I have learned much. I have learned that my friends and acquaintances do not have agendas.

        "raw_content": "This is the genealogy of my grandmother Anna Andreasson. Because she was born on the island of Tj\u00f6rn, Sweden, her genealogy includes some of the families that have lived on Tj\u00f6rn for centuries.\nAs I remember it being told, Anna came from a large family. Her mother died when she was still a young girl. The family was too large for her father to manage alone, he being a seaman, so Anna was sent to America to live with her older sister who had already moved there. She became ill during her passage across the Atlantic, and it apparently was a very traumatic experience for her. From that she developed a deep and long lasting fear of travelling by sea, and later by air. My impression was that she would have preferred to return home to Sweden but was too averse to the idea of travel to make the journey. So, she lived her life in America.\nShe married and lived for a time in Chicago, Illinois. During the great depression of the 1930's, the family moved to San Diego, California looking for better economic prospects. She raised a family of one son and three daughters, Ralph, Helen, Pauline, and Ruth. All her children have since passed away, but many grandchildren and great-grandchildren are alive today in different parts of the USA.\nAlthough she was born Anni Andreasson, she usually used the more Americanized name of Anna Anderson. Her and her husband strongly believed their children should assimilate into American culture. Even though she could speak Swedish and English, and her husband could speak German, Russian and English, only English was allowed to be spoken in the home. She maintained ties with her family in Sweden, corresponding until late in life with some of her siblings there.",

If new terms could not be reached, NAFTA would die. Canada and Mexico are against this because such a pact would create uncertainty, report Reuters. NAFTA has been in effect nearly 25 years.\nThe office of U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, who is leading the U.S. negotiating team, did not respond to an emailed request for comment. \"He's a man whose style I really like\", Seade said.\nBut experts remain skeptical, especially given Canada's absence in the latest round of negotiations, and some are questioning the legality of the bilateral deal.\nGuajardo, the top Mexican negotiator, told reporters in Washington that it would take at least a week to finalize the deal once Canada re-enters the talks.\n\"Nothing is done until everything is truly done\", he said.\n\"Today will be an important day\", he added.\nTrump prompted the Nafta revamp more than a year ago, complaining the pact has benefited Mexico to the detriment of U.S. workers and manufacturing.\nHowever, one major stumbling block involving all three countries is the U.S. demand for a so-called \"sunset clause\", which would oblige the three countries to renew the trade pact every five years.\n\"We're expecting good news\", Castanon said when asked if a breakthrough in negotiations between the USA and Mexico is imminent.\nIndustry sources believe that they are close to agreeing on raising the regional automotive content threshold for tariff-free access under NAFTA to around 75 percent from 62.5 percent.\nTalks ground to a halt in May, in part due to the July 1 presidential elections in Mexico.\nThe team of leftist Mexican President-elect Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has resisted enshrining the 2013-14 opening of the oil and gas sector enacted by the now outgoing President Enrique Pena Nieto in the new NAFTA, people with direct knowledge on the matter said.\nLong skeptical of foreign companies entering the Mexican oil industry, Lopez Obrador opposed Pena Nieto's energy reform.\nSears has steadily shed properties in recent years, but the pace quickened in 2017, when it closed at least 175 stores.

        "raw_content": "The Wondrous Benefits of Soy Protein\nSoy protein is emerging as one of the great alternative protein sources for human consumption. Health experts are all excited about how soy protein can change the face of nutrition. What\u2019s all the rage? Here are some great reasons to get with soy protein.\nSoy Protein is Plant Protein\nSoy beans contain complete protein and have one of the best protein digestibilities among all protein sources. Soy beans also contain little or no fat and have virtually no cholesterol. Lactose intolerant ones will be pleased to know that soy beans contain no lactose.\nBeing a plant protein, soy is free from steroids and antibiotics animal protein contains. It is also free from the parasites that contaminate some of these products. They also contain none of the diseases one can contract from mean sources such as Mad Cow Disease, and Foot and Mouth Disease.\nVegetarians love this bean as it provides a comparable \u2013 if not better \u2013 source of protein as compared to its animal counterpart. It provides a protein that is better and easier to digest and is comparable to most protein supplements.\nSoy Beans are Very Versatile\nSoy beans are very versatile. Various cuisines, especially Asian ones recognize the value of the humble soy bean. A variety of naturally yummy delicacies are all soy based: tofu, soy pudding, Soya milk, and meat substitutes \u2013 not to mention condiments such as soy sauce, and hoi sin sauce.\nTo counter the problem of world hunger, the growing of soybeans has been suggested. Not only are soybeans easy to grow and harvest, they will grow pretty much anywhere and produces much in a little time. There have been farmers reported to have replaced their entire crop line with soy bean plants. These hardy little plants produce much per harvest, and, as said earlier, can grow in even the most trying terrain.\nThe Great Substitute\nSoy is low in fat and can be used to substitute most protein sources. When cooking, you may use soy substitutes instead of flour for a low fat alternative. This makes it a great protein source for those that are looking to lose weight without compromising their protein requirements.\nBodybuilders are considering how this can make their jobs a lot easier. Without the fat and with all the protein goodness \u2013 easily digestible at that \u2013 bodybuilding has just received a great blessing of a food.\nAlthough these bodybuilders are currently debating how soy can be a help to bodybuilders, it doesn\u2019t take away anything from what soy can contribute to the overall health of a person.\nIt is very advisable to stick to natural protein rather than processes protein if possible, as processed foods typically have some risk attached to them. The best use of this food can be attributed to how it perfectly fits into anyone\u2019s low-fat, high-protein diet.\nSoy products can be incorporated into shakes and drinks. And being lactose-free, lactose intolerant people will still be able to get their milkshake fix without having to suffer so.\nSoy products are also a great source of other nutrients such as saponins, isoflavones, and phytosterol. Saponins help support a healthy immune system. It also combines with cholesterol to avoid increased absorption of cholesterol in the body. Phytosterols also help reduce the absorption of cholesterol in the body in the same way saponins do.\nIsoflavones are powerful antioxidants and prevent the effects of free radicals in the body. They prevent many of the signs of aging and have been known to help prevent cancer. This alone makes soy a miracle protein source in its own right.\nIsoflavones, along with vitamins A,C, and E are among the front liners in the fight against such disease \u2013 they also counter the effects of pollution, and stress.\nUnlike other protein sources, it is pretty safe to consume a wide amount of soy products. While allergies to soy products exist, cases are few and far between. When changing to a soy diet, however, it would be best to consult your physician or your nutritionist. Ask specifically if the soy interferes with any prescription drugs you are taking.\nSoy can be great blessing for people who are looking for a great source of protein that does not entail the side effects of most of the other sources. It would be advisable for one to explore how it can improve one\u2019s diet.\nSoy is an excellent source of high-quality protein. It is also beneficial to reduces the risks of heart related diseases.\nSoy reduces the risks of heart related diseases. And they helps to increase nutritional value of other foods. It is an excellent source of high-quality protein. Many people add soybean to other dishes to increase the protein in their diets.\nprincyroger said...\nSoy protein is emerging as one of the great alternative protein sources for human consumption.It is rich in iron, zinc, and oft times calcium. That's why it is so perfect in protein bars.",

        "raw_content": "Daniel Coxe\nFor the tennis player, see Daniel Cox.\n2nd Governor of West New Jersey\nEdward Hunloke\nEdward Byllynge\nEdmund Andros (Dominion of New England)\n3rd Governor of West New Jersey\nRebecca Coldham\nDr. Daniel Coxe (c.\u20091640 \u2013 January 19, 1730) FRS was an English physician and governor of West Jersey from 1687-1688 and 1689-1692.\n2 Colonial landowner\nThe Coxe family traced their lineage to a Daniel Coxe who lived in Somersetshire, England in the 13th century and obtained a doctor of medicine degree from Salerno University. Daniel Coxe's father was also called Daniel Coxe. He was from Stoke Newington, London and died in 1686.\nDaniel Coxe the son was born in London, the oldest of thirteen children, and was educated at Jesus College, Cambridge where he became a doctor of medicine in 1669.[1] He was a Fellow of the Royal Society and a member of the Royal College of Physicians (Coxe is the Society member referred to by Samuel Pepys in his diary entry of 3 May 1665 when he poisons a cat with tobacco oil at Gresham College). Coxe was appointed a physician to the court of King Charles II of England and later to that of Queen Anne.\nColonial landowner\nCoxe never left England, he served nominally as Governor of New Jersey by purchase of land. He then bought other land in the Mississippi Valley. He attempted to settle a colony of Huguenots in Virginia, but failed.\nInitially Coxe purchased land in West Jersey in the mid-1680s. He bought out the heirs of Edward Byllynge there in 1687.[2] Coxe opened the earliest commercial-scale pottery in New Jersey.[3] He sold out most of his land there to the West New Jersey Society of London, in 1692.[2]\nLater in the 1690s Coxe acquired a grant of land in 1698 known as \"Carolana\" which had been given by Charles I to Sir Robert Heath;[2] this he purchased from Sir James Shaen,[4] or his son Arthur; Shaen had acquired the rights from Henry Howard, 6th Duke of Norfolk.[5] The Carolana holding remained with the Coxe family until 1769 when it was exchanged for land in the Mohawk valley of what is now New York state.\nCoxe died in 1730, and was buried in London, England. His portrait is held by the Royal College of Physicians in London.\nCoxe married Rebecca Coldham (only surviving child and heiress of John Coldham, Esquire of Tooting Graveney, Alderman of London and Rebecca Wood) on 12 May 1671. They had a son Colonel Daniel Coxe and a daughter Mary.\nDaniel Coxe, Jr.(1673\u20131739), with an agent John Tatham, went to his father's North American lands. He lived in the American colonies from 1702 to 1716 and after returning to England published an account in 1722 of his travels and a description of the area encompassed by his father's claim, entitled A Description of the English Province of Carolana, by the Spaniards called Florida, And by the French La Louisiane. He was appointed by the Duke of Norfolk as Provincial Grand Master of Freemasons for the provinces of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, but died before he had chartered any lodges. In 1731, he claimed that he possessed superior title to that of the West Jersey Society, via a superseding deed that his father had recorded years earlier; the courts upheld Coxe's claim. Hundreds of families were forced to repurchase their own property from Col. Coxe or be forcibly evicted. The ensuing scandal was one of many injustices that inflamed American anger against the British during the years leading up the Revolutionary War. There were lawsuits; there were riots; Col. Coxe was burned in effigy; but to no avail. As a result, many Hopewell residents left New Jersey, either unable to pay Col. Coxe or disgusted with the colony's rampant political corruption. One group of Hopewell expatriates settled on the Yadkin River in what was then Rowan County, NC. This community, the Jersey Settlement, continued to attract new settlers from the Hopewell area for several decades.\nMary became a Maid of Honour to Queen Caroline, the wife of King George II and later married John Montgomery (died 1733) in 1732 and had a son Alexander, who were both M.P.'s for County Monaghan in Ireland. After Col. John Montgomery's death she married William Clement LL.D. Vice Provost of Trinity College, Dublin and M.P. both for the College and the City of Dublin. She died at Beaulieu, Co. Louth in 1790 aged 97 years.\n^ \"Coxe, Daniel (CKS659D)\". A Cambridge Alumni Database. University of Cambridge.\n^ a b c Hunter, Michael. \"Coxe, Daniel\".

        "raw_content": "Market Reaction: Commercial Litigation Third-Party Funding\nIn Raafat Imam v Life (China) Co. Ltd [2018] HKCFI 1852, the Court of First Instance refused to grant a declaration that a proposed commercial litigation funding agreement to be entered into between the plaintiff and a commercial third-party funder did \"not offend the law prohibiting maintenance and champerty\" or came within the \"recognized exception relating to access to justice\".\nIt is important to emphasise that the agreement had not been entered into. Indeed, the plaintiff's application in the proceedings could be seen as something of a \"test case\", in order to test the parameters of the common law of maintenance and champerty in Hong Kong or its miscellany of exceptions.\nThe case has caught the eye of the commercial disputes market in Hong Kong; anticipating a day when such a case might come along (in the absence of, for now, progress with legislative initiatives of the sort seen in some other common law jurisdictions and disputes resolution centres).\nAt the time of writing it is not clear whether there will be an appeal.\nWithout commenting on the merits of an appeal, Thomson Reuters asked around in the market about third-party funding for commercial disputes.\nDenis Brock (Partner at O\u2019Melveny, Hong Kong) notes:\n\"Commercial funders wishing to come to the Hong Kong market probably have two main strategies, which are not mutually exclusive. They can lobby and wait for legislative reform (which in the local circumstances of Hong Kong might take a while) and they can hope that the right case is pushed through the courts \u2013 ultimately, as far as the top court.\"\nAmita Kaur Haylock (Counsel at Mayer Brown JSM) said:\n\"If you go down a 'test case' route, then you need the right case. For example, something that can tap into 'access to justice' considerations. One line of argument is to demonstrate that a plaintiff's impecuniosity is an 'access to justice' exception. Whether this might succeed on an appeal in a case remains to be seen. A successful appeal could open up a possibility of funding for some other types of claims. We already have the potential for third-party funding of arbitration, including in my area of practice \u2013 intellectual property disputes.\"\nGary Yin (Partner at RPC, Hong Kong) comments:\n\"If third-party funding for commercial litigation is accepted in Hong Kong (without impacting on legal aid) it will help fortify Hong Kong's reputation as a disputes resolution centre. What this case also does is remind all stakeholders to get on with full implementation of the legislative reforms relating to third-party funding for arbitration and commercial mediation in Hong Kong.\"",

        "raw_content": "Home Essays Reorganizing the Woody...\nTopics: Lean manufacturing, Manufacturing, Six Sigma Pages: 5 (1342 words) Published: April 28, 2008\nReorganizing the Woody Company \ufffd PAGE * Arabic \ufffd1\ufffd\nReorganizing the Woody Company: A Strategy for Growth\nWoody Company is a small sole-proprietorship that specializes in the manufacture of high quality bar stools. Currently, three types of bar stools are marketed with increases in standing orders currently reaching $750,000. Mr. Woody has decided to expand his organization to and aggressively pursue the market, but realizes that issues with defective wood from his suppliers, manufacturing quality defects and problems associated with late delivery of his finished product has impacted his profit margin (Bateman & Snell, 2007, p. 317). My assistance has been solicited to optimize the organizational structure, recommend pay structure and determine work allocation within the company.\nA small company is, by definition, one that employs less than 500 employees (Hatten, 2007, p. 5). This is only relevant from the prospective that being a small business by definition allows for certain assistance from the Small Business Administration and tax code specifications. More importantly, the small business is a mindset of operation that will capitalize on the potential strength of flexibility and responsiveness that can only be exercised with a company that \"can move fast, can provide quality goods and services to targeted market niches, and can inspire greater involvement from their people\" (Bateman & Snell, 2007, p. 298). Mr. Woody has provided a mission and vision statement for his company that states the following: \"To manufacture world-class products that are competitive in the world market in quality, reliability, performance, and profitability (and) to create a culture where pride, ownership, employment security, and trust are a way of life\" (Bateman & Snell, 2007, p. 317). What follows is a plan that will meet these expectations and provide opportunity for increased growth.\nSome of the agility that is afforded by keeping the focus of the company on remaining small is a greater ability to use a mechanistic structure that is able to remain responsive, promoting both a high involvement and a continuous learning environment, enhancing quality improvement standards and embracing lean manufacturing as a means to improve overall profitability.\nFigure 1 (p. 8) is the proposed organizational chart for Woody Company which I will use to illustrate work responsibilities covered later in this proposal. Although this structure may serve to contradict some popular beliefs that organic structures can be more responsive to changing company dynamics and market realities (Bateman & Snell, 2007, p. 292), a 2006 article in the Academy of Management Journal which studied the difference between mechanistic and organic structures contradicts this viewpoint. In this study Sine, Mitsuhashi and Kirsch prove that mechanistic structures promote \"low role ambiguity, high levels of individual focus and discretion, low coordination costs, and generally high levels of organizational efficiency\" (pp. 130-131). I submit that this type of organizational structure is precisely what Woody Company needs to build on existing successes. By following my model of reorganization, the benefits that can be seen in a more organic structure, such as an inherently increased amount of flexibility through coordinated decision making and individual employee empowerment, can and will be realized. Top-down investment in the continuous training of the employees of Woody Company, through the direct efforts of the Human Resource and Training Office is an investment that will pay rewards in not only employee loyalty, but also efficiency in all the operations.\nFocus on Communication Strategies\nManagement focus on preventing or lessening communication barriers will serve to not only empower all employees, but also help improve processes which may lead to greater efficiency and profits.

This company is organized in a hierarchical manner where executives at the headquarters oversee regional managers who intern supervise employees (Shultz, 2012). The regional division was thought to be the most effective for two reasons. The first one is that stores could funnel their concerns through geographical headquarters that would link with Starbucks\u2019 main headquarters in Seattle, Washington (Shultz, 2012). The second reason for organizing in this way was that costumers\u2019 needs would be addressed better if they are approached by culturally or territorial differences. The recent downturn in the economy, increasing competition, and other factors prompts the question: should Starbucks change its structure and if so which structure would fit best. The answer: Yes and Product departmentalization structure (Reilly and Back, 2011). Just as important as the structure of the company is the quality its employees and baristas is where the rubber meets the road. Job Description: Besides manager who keep stores running smoothly, baristas are the first impression customers get of the company as a whole (Shultz, 2012). They will never know how much an executive cares about them or how interested...\n...[Title] [Name] [School] MGT 330 [Professor] [Date] Final Paper In today's economy, corporations have to fight to stay at the top in their chosen market(s) to stay competitively viable and return a profit to the vested shareholders. The profits not only have to be able to pay dividends to the shareholders, but they have to be able to sustain corporate operational expenses as well. This is becoming increasingly more difficult for companies based in the United States when their competitors from other countries have huge advantages in the form of lower taxes, lower labor wages and less or no benefits at all just too mention a few of improprieties. By implementing control systems we can track and have an accurate standing of the organization to keep us on track or ahead of the competition. We will look at, in depth, the functional and dysfunctional control systems within Whirlpool, Amana Division. We will interpret criteria for developing and evaluating control systems within the organization. We will also analyze the essentials of quality management and the techniques that are associated with it. I will discuss the impact of the decisions made and how they affect my personal and professional life. Within Whirlpool, Amana Division we utilize Total Productive Manufacturing (TPM), Safety, and Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) as the primary functional control systems. From these primary control systems are numerous...\nMgt 330 Management for Organization Essay\n...When I began this course I I was unsure of what to expect. The name of the class \"Management for Organization\" seemed like such a broad title. Just reading the title I new this class would entitle lots information. I was praying that I didn't get a hard professor. Through out the course I have learned a lot about responsibilities and characteristics of a CEO or managers on down the line of a business. There were a few things that I like most and I will explain them to in this paper. The topics I gained the most insight from were: big five personality traits, Levels of planning, Personal leadership style and managerial tasks. I will explain and tell you abut and what they mean and how they apply to me. Many things in life you have to deal with personality some good some bad. But on manger stand point there are five personality traits. Some manger could be on the low end of some can be on the high end of it and others are in between. It being a effective manager. The first one is Extraversion means the tendency to experience positive emotions and moods and feel good about oneself and the rest of the world. You might ask yourself what doe this mean. This is in most cases when a manger who is on the high end of extraversion they are often called extraverts and the tend to be sociable. Mangers who are on the low end of extraversion are often called introverts. And they tend to be less inclined toward social interactions and have a less positive outlook.

In doing so, this provides a potential employee with some knowledge of the company, an understanding of the mission statement, as well as what their responsibilities would entail. Below is a sample of how my job description for Starbucks would read. The Starbucks Corporation is an international coffee company that was founded in Seattle, Washington (Starbucks.com). With 19,435 stores in 58 countries, it is the largest coffeehouse chain company in the world; Starbucks sells a variety of hot and cold drinks. These include espresso coffee, cappuccino, coffee mocha, and drip brewed coffee. Our Baristas are considered to be the face of Starbucks. They produce a positive experience for customers while making delicious and perfect drinks. We make it a point to address each visitor, one drink and one customer at a time. There are key responsibilities and essential job functions that our Barista\u2019s have with the company. A Barista is expected to act with a high level of integrity, knowledge and honesty that promote the companies values. A Barista must maintain a calm demeanor during peak hours of operation and during all escalated customer interactions.

Management and leadership have the team-based work environment in common. Certainly, both styles associate with teamwork; however, the messages they send to teams are different from each other. Management influences teams through intimidation, rigorous systems and defined roles within the organization allow a few individuals to control the company\u2019s operations. Management lacks either the knowledge or the desire to encourage employees\u2019 personal growth as it puts emphasis on rehiring resources rather than providing adequate training to the employees. Effective managers are not necessarily leaders but this position has an opportunity for leadership (Bateman, 2009). The difference between management and leadership surprisingly requires less organizational structure and more on managerial methods. It would seem evident that many individuals with strong leadership skills will find themselves into positions of power. Management has a single delivery style of communication and control whereas leadership style has an open and honest communication style that can be prominent. Leaders are outlined with charismatic and generally inspirational people who have passion and vision. These individuals lead using a...\nMgt 330 Final Essay\n...The Five Functions of Effective Management Lolita Davis MGT330: Management for Organizations Instructor: Sangita Patel November 5, 2012 The Renacer Westside Community Development Corporation is a 501 \u00a9 3 not for profit community based organization.

I am currently serving in the U.S. Army and this organization has effectively applied the five management functions, because its existence depends on those five functions. They Army is constantly engaging in the five management functions; their operations are well led, organized, carefully planned, staffed, and constantly evaluated. I do not believe there is any organization other than the military where you would see these five functions linking so well coordinated. \u201cPlanning is a systematic process in which managers make decisions about future activities and the key goals that the organization will pursue. The necessity of careful environmental scanning has an immediate impact on planning processes\u201d (Reilly, Minnick, and Baack, 2011, sec. 7.2). Making plans for future activities is one of the Army\u2019s key functions; without planning its subordinate commands would deteriorate and lose focus on mission objectives and the quality of work. In the Army, we use the Eight-Step Training Model; for which planning always starts out backwards by starting with the objective and working its way back to day zero. The planning is then broken down into three phases; long term, short-term and near term depending on the size of the organization or unit. I find the planning phase in the Army to be very effective because it...",

There are many other quotations from Persian manuscripts and publications, and these I have translated, unless otherwise indicated. Most quotations had to be edited prior to translation. The footnotes to these quotations, however, are mostly mine, and this is indicated explicitly where confusion may arise. Verses taken from the Qur'an are numbered in accordance with the Arabic text, although their numbering may differ from that given in English translations. Persian and Arabic names are transliterated in accordance with the system adopted for books on the Baha'i Faith, but quotations are reproduced in their original form.\nThe early followers of Baha'u'llah seldom sought to be photographed. Occasionally group photographs were taken, from which it has been possible to obtain many of the individual photographs which I have included, in the belief that their historical interest outweighs the fact that some are faded and out of focus. I am deeply indebted to the Audio-Visual Department of the Baha'i World Centre for supplying most of these photographs. I should like to thank Mr Ruhi Shakibai for his excellent reproduction of some of the photographs printed in this book.\nI wish to acknowledge with sincere thanks the co-operation of the Baha'i Publishing Trust, London, and the Baha'i Publishing Trust, Wilmette, Illinois, in permitting me to quote from their publications. <pxvi>\nI desire to record my warm appreciation to Dr May Ballerio for her untiring efforts in helping me to speed up the preparation of the manuscript and for her skilful editing, and for the making of the index. My thanks go to Miss Eithne Earley for typing the manuscript from my original scribbled notes, many of which were illegible and often difficult to decipher, and to Mrs Corrine Alexander for additional typing assistance. I am also grateful to Mr Harold Boyce for his careful reading of the proofs.\nAlthough I consider this work to be a very insignificant contribution to the great wealth of Baha'i knowledge, nevertheless it has taken me a very long time to produce this volume. The main reason has been lack of time on my part. I have had to work during my free hours at home, usually in the late evening, and consequently the pace has been very slow. And probably the same situation will apply to Volume 4. However, in all my work I am deeply indebted to my wife Lesley for her constant support and encouragement.\nAdib Taherzadeh <pxvii>\nThe arrival of Baha'u'llah in 'Akka, signalizing the long-awaited fulfilment of the prophecies of the advent of the Lord of Hosts in the Holy Land, opens a new chapter of glorious consummation in the Revelation of Baha'u'llah. The momentous events associated with this period surpass those of the earlier days of His ministry. The final acts of the proclamation of His Message to individual kings, rulers and ecclesiastics, the revelation of the laws of His Dispensation regarded as the warp and woof of His World Order, the reversing of the tides of misfortune and misrepresentation into those of honour and public reverence, the revelation of countless Tablets bringing to a mighty climax all that had been revealed in the past, and the release of vast spiritual energies destined to regenerate human society and create a new race of men, all these characterize this period of Baha'u'llah's ministry in 'Akka and later in Bahji.\nThis volume, covering the first nine years of the ministry of Baha'u'llah in 'Akka, is an attempt to catch a glimpse of this mighty Revelation. But how puny and feeble are the mind and vision of man, how poorly they equip him to venture into the arena of Divine Revelation which is far above his ken. It is obvious that we are unable to fathom this deep ocean of the Word of God in this age. We can only pass over the surface.\nThe aim of this volume is to describe some of the contents of the Tablets of Baha'u'llah. To achieve this, the author has followed the same pattern as in the two preceding volumes. He has outlined some of the main topics of a Tablet and elaborated on certain points which are in his opinion helpful for understanding some basic truths of the Faith. The aim has not been, however, to write a book of history. It is only to provide <pxviii> a background to the revelation of the Word of God that the author has dwelt at some length on the life of Baha'u'llah, the circumstances of His imprisonment in the barracks and later in 'Akka, and has also given brief accounts of the lives of some of the early believers involved.\nThe study of the Writings of Baha'u'llah is a never-ending spiritual experience; the many significances contained in His utterances and the power of His words are inexhaustible. The reader, therefore, will discover in this book only a drop out of the ocean, for only through a deeper study of the Writings of Baha'u'llah can we see the immensity of the Knowledge of God which Baha'u'llah has bestowed upon us in this day, a knowledge which will continually expand and unfold itself with the passage of time.\n'AKKA IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY <p1>\nBaha'u'llah's Arrival at 'Akka The journey of Baha'u'llah from Adrianople to 'Akka described briefly in the closing chapter of the former volume, was laden with enormous hardship and suffering. It once again high-lighted the abasement to which Baha'u'llah and His companions were subjected, and the indignities heaped upon Him by the actions of His enemies. And when He arrived in the prison of 'Akka, these sufferings were intensified to such an extent that He designated that city as the 'Most Great Prison'. Referring to the first nine years of His exile in 'Akka, the Pen of the Most High in one of His Tablets has recorded these moving words:\nKnow thou that upon Our arrival at this Spot, We chose to\ndesignate it as the 'Most Great Prison.' Though previously\nsubjected in another land (Tihran) to chains and fetters, We\nyet refused to call it by that name. Say: Ponder thereon, O\nye endued with understanding!(1)\nOne of the fascinating features of the life of Baha'u'llah is the contrast between His glory and majesty born of God, and the imprisonment and abasement to which He was subjected by His enemies. We may observe with amazement that Baha'u'llah, the Supreme Manifestation of God, One who held the powers of earth and heaven in His hands, the movement of whose pen could revolutionize the lives of all men, whose words were endowed with such potency as to subdue His adversaries; such a Being submitted Himself with utter resignation to those who had arisen with all their might and authority to take His life and extinguish the light of His Cause. <p2> He did not exercise His God-given spiritual powers to stay the hands of the oppressors persecuting Him. He could have--as He Himself attests in many of His Tablets--conquered the hearts of His enemies with the utterance of one word, had He so wished. But this was not to be. For God has created man and has given him free will to choose between good and evil, to follow the Truth or tread the path of error.\nIf the Manifestations of God were to reveal fully the signs and tokens of their power, if they were to overwhelm and destroy their persecutors through the force of their spiritual might, such a revelation would run counter to the principle of free will which God has bestowed upon man. Because no one, whether good or bad, deserving or undeserving, when confronted with the manifold evidences of the overwhelming power of the Manifestation of God, would have any choice but to acknowledge His authority and accept the authenticity of His message. In such a case man would be reduced to a mere puppet who loses control over his actions, and those who have no spiritual merit would become equal to those who have.\nThis is why the Manifestations of God hide their powers from the eyes of men in general and occasionally (and to a certain extent) reveal them to a few who are endowed with spiritual qualities.[1] For instance, Christ enabled some of His disciples to witness the signs of His glory, but the great majority of the people in the Holy Land, their religious leaders and their rulers, were not affected by these. He did not use His spiritual ascendancy to prevent His own crucifixion.\n[1 See vol. 2, p. 83, and p. 300 below.]\nThe powers of the Manifestation of God remain hidden behind the veil of His human temple. He lives like the rest of the people and is subject to all the limitations which this imposes on Him. He has to eat and sleep in order to survive. He feels pain if He is afflicted with sufferings, He becomes ill at times and eventually dies. Indeed, He comes as if camouflaged by His mortal frame. And this prevents most of His contemporaries from recognizing His station. His actions <p3> also prove to be great barriers and stumbling blocks for those who come into contact with Him. The way He lives is similar to the life of His countrymen. He speaks the same language, obeys the same laws, and practises the same customs. He does not appear to know the future, has to be informed of the news of the day, and even some of His teachings and words may cast doubt into the minds of many who are veiled from His glory. Those intellectuals and men of learning who are spiritually blind, and who weigh His utterances with their own standards, will often find fault with His sayings and reject His message outright.\nAll these human characteristics which the Manifestation of God displays act as a thick cloud hiding the splendours of the light of His Revelation from the eyes of men. For He does not reveal Himself in His naked glory. Only those with spiritual eyes may penetrate through and witness the radiance of the Sun of Truth behind this cloud. Man has to make an effort in order to find the truth. This is an irrevocable law of creation, and through it man's free will is preserved. This free will is bestowed upon man by God. He has given him authority to rule over this world. Man has the power of life and death in his hands. He can lead a peaceful life and build a united world, or he can kindle the fire of enmity and bring destruction and death to great multitudes. And although God has sent His Messengers from time to time to show the way to the human race, and has thrown light upon its path, yet He has left man free to choose for himself. In each Dispensation a considerable number of people have been led to follow the path of truth by their own free will, whereas the majority of the peoples have rejected the call of God and followed the dictates of their own selves.\nIn this age humanity has strayed far from the path of truth, and the call of Baha'u'llah to recognize Him as the viceregent of God on earth has fallen on deaf ears. But a careful study of His writings leads us to believe that His Revelation, being the culmination of past Revelations and one which has ushered in <p4> the Day of God Himself, will exert such a potent influence upon mankind as a whole that eventually all the peoples of the world will recognize His station of their own free will and embrace His cause of their own volition. And this in turn will bring about, in the distant future, the appearance of a new race of men whose noble character and spiritual virtues we, in this age, are unable to visualize.\nWith this basic principle in mind that the Manifestations of God hide their glory from the eyes of men, we can appreciate more clearly the manner in which they have appeared and acted among the peoples of the world. We observe that they have always submitted themselves to their enemies, and yet through the power of God they have succeeded in firmly establishing the foundation of their Cause among men. The sufferings which were inflicted on Baha'u'llah by His enemies throughout His forty-year ministry and the forbearance and resignation with which He endured these, demonstrate this principle. This becomes especially apparent in 'Akka where those in authority inflicted on Him tribulations more severe than at any other period in His ministry.\nAlthough Baha'u'llah submitted Himself to a hostile enemy who made Him a prisoner and condemned Him to solitary confinement for the rest of His life, yet no one could rob Him of His majesty and glory. Even those who had no spiritual eyes and who were blind to His divine authority were forcibly struck by the outward manifestations of His eminent and august personality.\nAs with other incidents in His life when people came face to face with Him, not one of the officials accompanying Baha'u'llah on His journey to 'Akka, nor others who either in the course of duty or for other reasons came into His presence, could fail to recognize His greatness. One such was a young man by the name of Constantine, a Christian, who went aboard the ship at Alexandria in Egypt and attained His presence. This young man was one of the characters in an important incident during Baha'u'llah's journey to 'Akka. <p5>\nThe Alexandria Incident\nTowards the end of His stay in Adrianople, Baha'u'llah sent Nabil-i-A'zam to Egypt on a mission. The Iranian Consul-General in Cairo, Mirza Hasan Khan-i-Khu'i, was an inveterate enemy of the Faith. As soon as he learnt of Nabil's visit, he approached the Egyptian authorities, brought false accusations against him and urged his arrest. Consequently Nabil was sent to a prison in Cairo and later transferred to one in Alexandria. Completely unaware of the fate of Baha'u'llah and his imminent exile to 'Akka, Nabil spent his days in Alexandria prison, which was located close to the sea where ships used to anchor.\nAs we have already stated in a previous volume,[1] a certain Christian physician, a Syrian by the name of Faris, who had been put in the same prison for financial reasons, became attracted to Nabil. At first the former tried to convert the latter to Christianity. But instead Nabil gave his companion the tidings of the coming of the Father and the advent of the Day of God. He disclosed to his eyes the light of the new-born Faith and imparted to him the knowledge of His revelation.\n[1 Vol. 1, pp. 203-4.]\nSoon, as a result of Nabil's teaching work inspired by his spirit of detachment from this world, and aided by his profound and intimate knowledge of the message of Baha'u'llah, Faris became assured of the truth of the Cause. The fire of faith began to burn fiercely in his heart, and the love of Baha'u'llah, possessed his whole being. He was filled with joy and ecstasy, the gloom of the prison life vanished and he found himself for the first time in the midst of paradise.\nWhile Nabil was in Cairo prison, one night Baha'u'llah\nappeared to him in a dream and assured him that after eighty-one\ndays the hardships of prison life would come to an end.\nThat day fell on Thursday, 27 August 1868, and it was on that\nday that the significance of Nabil's dream came to light.[1]\n[1 According to the shipping records the Austrian Lloyd steamer was due to leave Gallipoli on 21 August 1868 and was due in Alexandria on Wednesday 26 August early in the morning. Baha'u'llah and His companions transshipped to another steamer of the same company in Alexandria bound for Cyprus via Haifa, which sailed on Friday 28 August.]<p6>\nAround the time of sunset he went on the roof of the prison and began to watch people passing by. Not long after he had settled in a corner on the roof, to his amazement Nabil sighted Aqa Muhammad Ibrahim-i-Nazir (caterer) among the passers-by, escorted by a guard. Aqa Muhammad Ibrahim used to do the work of catering for Baha'u'llah and His companions in Adrianople. Now in Alexandria he had left the ship to purchase provisions for the journey. Not knowing anything about Baha'u'llah's exile to 'Akka, the astonished Nabil called out to Muhammad Ibrahim who succeeded in persuading his guard to allow him to visit his friend in the prison. There he told him of the fate of Baha'u'llah and His companions and pointed to the ship which carried the exiles and could be seen from the prison.\nThis amazing incident caused great agitation in the heart of Nabil, for he found himself so close to his Beloved and yet so far. When Faris Effendi was informed, he too became highly excited but frustrated at not being able to attain the presence of His Lord.\nThat night neither of the two could sleep. Both decided to write a letter to Baha'u'llah and the next morning Faris Effendi made arrangements with a certain Christian youth, Constantine, who was a watch-maker in the city, to deliver their letters to Baha'u'llah on board the ship. They both stood on the roof of the prison to watch the ship, turned their hearts to Baha'u'llah and communed with His spirit with much devotion and love.\nAfter a short while they were heart-broken to see the ship steaming away before Constantine could gain admittance. But amazingly, after a few minutes the ship stopped and Constantine, who was in a rowing boat, reached it and went <p7> aboard. He handed the envelope to one of the attendants who took it to Baha'u'llah. The news of Nabil's whereabouts, and especially the letter of Faris, which was read aloud by Baha'u'llah to those who had assembled in His presence, created great excitement on board the ship. Baha'u'llah revealed a Tablet in honour of Nabil in which He bestowed His bounties and blessings upon Faris, and assured him that soon he would be released from the prison. He then called the messenger to His presence, and handed him the Tablet with loving kindness and affection. 'Abdu'l-Baha and the Purest Branch also sent some gifts to Nabil.\nThis short visit made an abiding impression upon Constantine. Having come face to face for a brief period with the Supreme Manifestation of God, and seen a glimpse of His glory, he left the ship overwhelmed and awestruck. When he came to deliver the parcel to Faris Effendi, he was in such a state of excitement that he was heard shouting aloud, 'By God, I have seen the face of the Heavenly Father.' In a state of ecstasy and rapture Faris embraced Constantine and kissed his eyes which had gazed upon the countenance of his Lord.\nThe Tablet of Baha'u'llah was in the handwriting of His amanuensis Mirza Aqa Jan in the form of 'Revelation Writing'.[1] It imparted a new spirit of love and dedication to Faris; it fanned into flame the fire of faith which had been ignited in his heart by Nabil in that gloomy prison. As promised by Baha'u'llah, Faris was released from prison three days later. After his release he arose in the propagation of the Faith among his people. Nabil was also freed soon after, but being ordered to leave Egypt he proceeded to the Holy Land in pursuit of his Lord.\n[1 See vol. 1, pp. 24-5, 35-7.]\nIn more than one Tablet Baha'u'llah has Himself described the episode of Faris in Alexandria as a token of the power of God. In a Tablet(2) revealed soon after His arrival in 'Akka and addressed to Rad'ar-Ruh,[1] a devoted follower from Manshad <p8> who died as a martyr, Baha'u'llah relates the story of His banishment from Adrianople, and the outpouring of the revelation of the Word of God in the course of that journey; he declares that the breezes of the revelation of the Words revealed in that period wafted over the entire planet. Referring to Himself as the 'Most Great Ocean', He describes in majestic language His boarding the ship and sailing upon the sea, while every drop of its waters was exhilarated and from it could be heard that which no one is capable of hearing.\n[1 See vols. 1 and 2. The date of his martyrdom is not clearly known but was probably around the time that Baha'u'llah arrived in 'Akka and sent him the above Tablet.]\nPerhaps the highlight of this Tablet concerns the story of Faris. Baha'u'llah relates that while the ship was anchored in Alexandria, He received from the hand of a Christian messenger a mighty letter from which He could inhale the fragrances of holiness. It was written by one who had detached himself from worldly ties and embraced His Cause. Baha'u'llah states that He wished Rad'ar-Ruh had been present to hear the soul-stirring Voice of his Lord as He read aloud to His companions on board the ship the letter of supplication and declaration of faith. This letter, written in Arabic, is indicative of a passionate faith in the Cause of Baha'u'llah, a deep understanding of His Revelation and a true recognition of His station. Baha'u'llah became so happy on receiving this moving letter that He wanted to share it with the believers. On His instructions, therefore, part of Faris's letter was copied and sent to some individuals in Persia, that they might read and ponder upon the creative power of the Word of God which is capable of transforming the human heart and leading it to the world of the spirit.\nThis is a summary of part of Faris's letter:\nO Thou the Glory of the Most Glorious and the Exalted of\nthe Most Exalted! I write this letter and present it to the One\nwho has been subjected to the same sufferings as Jesus\nChrist... It is incumbent upon us to offer praise and <p9>\nthanksgiving to God, the All-glorious, the All-bountiful.\nAnd now I beseech Thee to grant me and my kindred a\nportion of the ocean of Thy bounty, O Thou who art the\nEver-living, the Self-subsisting and the Wellspring of Purity\nand Sanctity.\nI entreat Thee by the mystery of Thy most joyful Being,\nby Thy Prophet who conversed with Thee (Moses), by Thy\nSon (Jeses), by Thy Friend (Muhammad) and by Thy\nHerald (The Bab) who for the love of Thee offered up His\nlife in Thy path, not to deprive me and my family, these\npoor ones, from beholding the glory of Thy countenance.\nO Thou who hast endured for our sake sufferings and\ntribulations. Strengthen our faith, choose us for Thy service\nand accept us as martyrs in Thy path so that our blood may\nbe shed for the love of Thee. We are weak and ignorant,\nconfer upon us Thy glory so that we may not be among the\nlosers. Grant us the distinction of love and faith, and cleanse\nour hearts from whatsoever runs counter to Thy good\npleasure. Aid us to forget our own selves so that we may\nseek no rest in Thy service except by Thy leave and pleasure.\nO Thou who knowest the secrets of the hearts! Art Thou\nsailing in an ark made of wood? O how I long to be a part of\nthat vessel, for it is blessed to be a carrier of the Lord. O, the\nsurging sea! is thy restlessness because of the fear of the\nglorious Lord? O Alexandria! art thou grief-stricken\nbecause He who is the Ever-living, the All-wise, is leaving\nthy shores? O, the desolate city of 'Akka! Thou art clapping\nthy hands in fervent joy and art in a state of rapture and\necstasy, for the Lord in His great glory will bless thy land\nwith His footsteps...\nIn the aforementioned Tablet to Rad'ar-Ruh Baha'u'llah makes an important statement which confirms one of the fundamental verities of the Cause of God. Referring to Faris's recognition of His station, Baha'u'llah states that God transformed his heart and created him anew, and that such a creation is greater in the sight of God than the creation of earth and heaven. We may appreciate this statement when we reflect that the soul of man is the most precious reality in this creation, <p10> bestowed upon him by God. There is a spiritual and mysterious force of attraction between the soul and the Creator.[1] It is this love relationship that Baha'u'llah refers to in the Hidden Words when He says:\n[1 In this context we are not referring to 'Creator' as the Essence of God, but God manifested to man.]\nO Son of Man! I loved thy creation, hence I created thee.\nWherefore, do thou love Me, that I may name\nthy name and fill thy soul with the spirit of life.(3)\nBut the soul becomes attached to this world and it is this attachment which becomes a barrier between the soul and its Creator. If the barriers are removed, however, the soul will draw nearer to God, will recognize Him, will acquire the spirit of faith[1] and become a new creation. The soul thus fulfils the purpose for which it was created, and this is the most meritorious event in the sight of God and more important than all that is, in this physical creation. It is in this connection that we can appreciate the exhortations of Baha'u'llah with regard to teaching His Faith[2] which result in bringing a soul to its God. It is not surprising that Baha'u'llah has enjoined upon every believer the duty of teaching His Cause and has regarded it as 'the most meritorious of all deeds'.\n[1 see vol. 1, pp. 73-4]\n[2 see vol. 2, pp. 91-4; and below, p. 331.]\nFaris was probably the first Christian to embrace the Faith of Baha'u'llah. Through the radiance of Nabil's indomitable faith, and helped by his own knowledge of the Arabic language and of the Bible, Faris became a faithful believer with a deep understanding of the station of Baha'u'llah. That Faris and Nabil should have met in the prison of Alexandria is no accident. God works in mysterious ways. When He is manifested to man, He attracts souls that are detached from this world to Himself. During the ministries of the Bab and Baha'u'llah, great numbers were led to the Fountain-head of God's Revelation in mysterious ways--through dreams and <p11> visions, through intuition or even through miraculous circumstances. This is because the Manifestation of God was living among men and those who were pure in heart were drawn to Him.\nBy the righteousness of the one true God! If one speck of a\njewel be lost and buried beneath a mountain of stones, and\nlie hidden beyond the seven seas, the Hand of Omnipotence\nwould assuredly reveal it in this Day, pure and cleansed\nfrom dross.(4)\nFaris devoted his time to teaching the Cause among his own people. The Lawh-i-Aqdas[1] (The Most Holy Tablet) otherwise known in the West as the 'Tablet to the Christians', is reputed to have been revealed in his honour, but this cannot be substantiated. Up till now, it has not been possible to ascertain for whom this Tablet was revealed.\n[1 Published in Tablets of Baha'u'llah, pp. 9-17. Not to be confused with the Kitab-i-Aqdas, the Most Holy Book.]\nAfter this extraordinary contact which was made at Alexandria between Baha'u'llah and the two Baha'i prisoners, the steamer headed towards its destination,[1] and after three days it arrived at Haifa in the early morning of Monday 31 August.\n[1 According to the shipping records, the Austrian Lloyd steamer was due to leave Alexandria at 11 a.m. on Friday, arriving at Port Said on Saturday at 5 p.m., at Jaffa on Sunday at 6 p.m., at Haifa on Monday at 8 a.m., and at noon two days later at Cyprus.]\nThe Most Great Prison\nBaha'u'llah and His companions--seventy in all--disembarked from the ship and were taken ashore in sailing boats. All their belongings were also ferried across with them. There, the prisoners were all counted and handed over to government officials.[1] A few hours later they were all taken <p12> aboard a sailing vessel which took them to 'Akka in the afternoon of the same day. As there were no landing facilities at 'Akka, the men had to wade ashore from the boat and it was ordered that the women were to be carried on the backs of men. But at 'Abdu'l-Baha's insistence the women were carried ashore one by one sitting in a chair which He Himself procured.\n[1 It was here that four of Baha'u'llah's followers were not allowed to land and were taken to Cyprus instead, and here that one of them, 'Abdu'l-Ghaffar, threw himself into the sea. See vol. 2, p. 411.]\nWhen Baha'u'llah arrived in 'Akka, that city was a penal colony. Its population in the 1880S was estimated to be about nine thousand. The Turkish Government had consigned to it from its vast empire a great number of criminals, murderers, political detainees and every type of troublemaker. The inhabitants, whom Baha'u'llah had stigmatized as 'The Generation of Vipers', had sunk to a very low level. Among these people wild rumours and false accusations were circulating concerning Baha'u'llah and His followers as they were about to arrive. The company of exiles, those God-intoxicated heroes who had accompanied their Lord to this most desolate of cities, were considered to be evil men, criminals of the worst type who deserved to be treated most cruelly. It is no wonder, therefore, that great numbers from among the inhabitants of 'Akka had assembled at the landing site to jeer at them and at their Leader whom they referred to as 'the God of the Persians'.\nYet among the crowd there were some endowed with a measure of spiritual perception. These, as they gazed upon the countenance of Baha'u'llah, were struck by His majesty and witnessed a glory they had never seen before. Among them was a certain Khalil Ahmad 'Abdu, a venerable old man who used to say to the inhabitants of 'Akka that he could see in the face of Baha'u'llah signs of greatness and of majesty and truthfulness. He often said that the people of 'Akka should rejoice and be thankful to God for having ennobled their <p13> homeland by the footsteps of this great Personage. He prophesied that through Him the inhabitants would be blessed and prosper, and this of course literally came to pass.\nAnother man in the crowd watching the arrival of the exiles was known as 'Abdu'llah Tuzih. He saw the radiance, the power, and the glory of Baha'u'llah's countenance and was drawn to Him. He later became a believer and his daughter (who was born on the same day that Baha'u'llah arrived in 'Akka) was some years later joined in wedlock with Husayn-i-Ashchi, a cook in Baha'u'llah's household and one of His devoted servants.[1]\n[1 See vol. 2, pp. 169, 404.]\nHow incomparable is the difference between the vision of those assembled at the sea gate of 'Akka to jeer at and demonstrate their hostility towards the company of exiles and their Leader, and the vision of Baha'u'llah Who a few years before, in the Tablet of Sayyah[1] foreshadowing His arrival in the city of 'Akka, disclosed to those who were endowed with spiritual insight a vastly different spectacle:\n[1 see vol. 2, p. 213.]\nUpon Our arrival We were welcomed with banners of light,\nwhereupon the Voice of the Spirit cried out saying: 'Soon\nwill all that dwell on earth be enlisted under these banners.'(5)\nThe attitude of these onlookers, blind to the world of the spirit and the all-encompassing vision of Baha'u'llah, is characteristic of man's attitude to the Revelation of God in every age. Over one hundred years have passed since Baha'u'llah uttered these words. The majority of mankind, its rulers and wise men, have so far failed to recognize their truth. They either remain unaware of the coming of the Lord or turn a deaf ear to His voice. But those who have embraced His Cause can believe in the vision of their Lord that 'soon will all that dwell on earth be enlisted under these banners'.\nThe history of the rise of every religion demonstrates a similar situation. When Christ was on the cross He saw the <p14> vision of His Cause spreading to the far ends of the world, while humanity, represented by His contemporaries in the Holy Land, was insensitive to such a vision. It saw in Christ only a man captive and helpless, dying on the cross. But it did not know the power of the Holy Spirit, a power which brought millions under the shadow of the Christian Faith.\nWhen Muhammad and His disciples were on one occasion completely surrounded and greatly outnumbered by hosts of His enemies, and when there was no hope of survival among His followers, the Prophet is reported to have stood on a rock and forcefully struck it with His staff saying, 'I have conquered the Roman Empire,' and repeating the same act, 'I have conquered the Persian Empire'... Even some of His followers at that time did not have the vision to comprehend these words but soon they witnessed their fulfilment.\nThus the enemies of Baha'u'llah, unable to discern the power of the Almighty which was animating His Cause and the person of His own Manifestation, imagined that by confining Him to the prison they could succeed in putting out His light and destroying His Cause. It was for this reason that the authorities had been ordered to impose the harshest restrictions upon Him and His followers.\nIn the masterly language so characteristic of his divinely guided writings, Shoghi Effendi, the Guardian of the Baha'i Faith, has briefly touched upon the significance of Baha'u'llah's arrival in 'Akka. He writes:\nThe arrival of Baha'u'llah in 'Akka marks the opening of the\nlast phase of His forty-year-long ministry, the final stage,\nand indeed the climax, of the banishment in which the\nwhole of that ministry was spent. A banishment that had, at\nfirst, brought Him to the immediate vicinity of the\nstrongholds of Shi'ah orthodoxy and into contact with its\noutstanding exponents, and which, at a later period, had\ncarried Him to the capital of the Ottoman empire, and led\nHim to address His epoch-making pronouncements to the\nSultan, to his ministers and to the ecclesiastical leaders of <p15>\nSunni Islam, had now been instrumental in landing Him\nupon the shores of the Holy Land--the Land promised by\nGod to Abraham, sanctified by the Revelation of Moses,\nhonoured by the lives and labours of the Hebrew patriarchs,\njudges, kings and prophets, revered as the cradle of\nChristianity, and as the place where Zoroaster, according to\n'Abdu'l-Baha's testimony, had 'held converse with some of\nthe Prophets of Israel,' and associated by Islam with the\nApostle's night-journey, through the seven heavens, to the\nthrone of the Almighty. Within the confines of this holy and\nenviable country, 'the nest of all the Prophets of God,' 'the\nVale of God's unsearchable Decree, the snow-white Spot,\nthe Land of unfading splendour' was the Exile of Baghdad,\nof Constantinople and Adrianople condemned to spend no\nless than a third of the allotted span of His life and over half\nof the total period of His Mission. 'It is difficult,' declares\n'Abdu'l-Baha, 'to understand how Baha'u'llah could have\nbeen obliged to leave Persia, and to pitch His tent in this\nHoly Land, but for the persecution of His enemies, His\nbanishment and exile.'\nIndeed such a consummation, He assures us, had been\nactually prophesied 'through the tongue of the Prophets\ntwo or three thousand years before.' God, 'faithful to His\npromise,' had, 'to some of the Prophets' 'revealed and given\nthe good news that the \"Lord of Hosts should be manifested\nin the Holy Land.\"' Isaiah had, in this connection,\nannounced in his Book: 'Get thee up into the high\nmountain, O Zion that bringest good tidings; lift up thy\nvoice with strength, O Jerusalem, that bringest good\ntidings. Lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah:\n\"Behold your God! Behold the Lord God will come with\nstrong band, and His arm shall rule for Him. \"' David, in his\nPsalms, had predicted: 'Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even\nlift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of Glory\nshall come in. Who is this King of Glory? The Lord of\nHosts, He is the King of Glory.' 'Out of Zion, the\nperfection of beauty, God hath shined. Our God shall\ncome, and shall not keep silence.' Amos had, likewise,\nforetold His coming: 'The Lord will roar from Zion, and <p16>\nutter His voice from Jerusalem; and the habitations of the\nshepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither.'\n'Akka, itself, flanked by the 'glory of Lebanon,' and Lying\nin full view of the 'splendour of Carmel,' at the foot of the\nhills which enclose the home of Jesus Christ Himself, had\nbeen described by David as 'the Strong City,' designated by\nHosea as 'a door of hope,' and alluded to by Ezekiel as 'the\ngate that looketh towards the East,' whereunto 'the glory of\nthe God of Israel came from the way of the East,' His voice\n'like a noise of many waters.' To it the Arabian Prophet had\nreferred as 'a city in Syria to which God hath shown His\nspecial mercy,' situated 'betwixt two mountains... in the\nmiddle of a meadow,' 'by the shore of the sea... suspended\nbeneath the Throne,' 'white, whose whiteness is pleasing\nunto God.' 'Blessed the man,' He, moreover, as confirmed\nby Baha'u'llah, had declared, 'that hath visited 'Akka, and\nblessed he that hath visited the visitor of 'Akka.'\nFurthermore, 'He that raiseth therein the call to prayer, his\nvoice will be lifted up unto Paradise. ' And again: 'The poor\nof 'Akka are the kings of Paradise and the princes thereof. A\nmonth in 'Akka is better than a thousand years elsewhere.'\nMoreover, in a remarkable tradition, which is contained in\nShaykh Ibnu'l-'Arabi's work, entitled 'Futuhat-i-Makkiy-yih,'\nand which is recognized as an authentic utterance of\nMuhammad, and is quoted by Mirza Abu'l-Fadl in his\n'Fara'id,' this significant prediction has been made: 'All of\nthem (the companions of the Qa'im) shall be slain except\nOne Who shall reach the plain of 'Akka, the Banquet-Hall\nof God.'(6)\nBaha'u'llah and His party entered the prison city through the sea gate and were conducted along the narrow and twisting roads of 'Akka to the barracks. The hardships of the long and arduous journey from Adrianople to 'Akka in the burning heat of the midsummer season, with inadequate and primitive facilities on board the ships crowded by so many, had exhausted everyone. And now added to all this were the appalling conditions of their confinement in the barracks, <p17> especially during the first night of their arrival there. Baha'u'llah was placed in a filthy room completely bare and devoid of any furniture. Later He was moved into a room on the upper floor of the barracks; this room, the interior of which is now kept in good condition and visited by Baha'i pilgrims, was in the days of Baha'u'llah unfit for habitation. He Himself has recounted in a Tablet(7) that its floor was covered with earth, and what plaster remained on the ceiling was falling.\nBaha'u'llah's followers were huddled into another room, the floor of which was covered with mud. Ten soldiers were posted at the gate to guard the prisoners. The foul air and the stench in the prison, coupled with the sultry heat of the summer, were so offensive that Baha'iyyih Khanum, the daughter of Baha'u'llah entitled the 'Greatest Holy Leaf', was overcome and fainted on arrival.\nThere was no water for drinking except that in a small pool which had already been used for washing. The water in this pool was so filthy that the mere thought of drinking it would make one sick. That first night, water was withheld from the prisoners. Everyone was thirsty in those hot surroundings and some of the women and children were overcome by thirst. Mothers with suckling babes were unable to feed them, and for hours the children were crying for food and water. 'Abdu'l-Baha made several appeals to the guards to show mercy to the children and even sent a message to the Governor of 'Akka, but all was without avail. At last in the morning some water was given to the prisoners and three loaves of bread to each as a daily ration: the bread was unfit to eat but after some time they were allowed to take it to the market and exchange it for two loaves of a better quality.\nSoon after the arrival of the prisoners the Governor visited the barracks for inspection. 'Abdu'l-Baha, accompanied by a few believers, went to see him. But the Governor was discourteous and spoke to them in a provocative manner. He threatened to cut the supply of bread if one of the prisoners <p18> went missing and then ordered them back to their room. Husayn-i-Ashchi, one of 'Abdu'l-Baha's attendants, could not bear to remain silent after such insulting treatment. He retorted with rage and hurled back at the Governor some offensive remarks.\n'Abdu'l-Baha immediately chastised Husayn by slapping him hard in the face in front of the Governor and ordering him to return to his room. This action by 'Abdu'l-Baha not only defused a dangerous situation but also opened the eyes of the Governor to the existence of a real leader among the prisoners, a leader who would act with authority and justice.\nHusayn-i-Ashchi, who has recorded this incident in his memoirs, and who prided himself on being chastised by the Master on that occasion, recalls that because of this action the Governor's attitude towards 'Abdu'l-Baha changed. He realized that, contrary to the wild rumours circulating in 'Akka at the time, 'Abdu'l-Baha and His family were from a noble background, and not criminals as he had been led to believe. The Governor therefore began to act in a more humane way towards the prisoners. He eventually agreed to substitute the allotted ration of bread with a sum of money and allowed a small party of the prisoners, escorted by guards, to visit the markets of 'Akka daily to buy their provisions.\nThree days after the arrival of Baha'u'llah and His companions, the edict of the Sultan condemning Him to life imprisonment was read out in the Mosque. The prisoners were introduced as criminals who had corrupted the morals of the people. It was stated that they were to be confined in prison and were not allowed to associate with anyone.\nIn the course of a talk[8] to the friends in Haifa, 'Abdu'l-Baha has described His being summoned by the Governor of 'Akka to hear the contents of the edict. When it was read out to Him that they were to remain in prison for ever,[1] 'Abdu'l-Baha responded by saying that the contents of the edict were <p19> meaningless and without foundation. Upon hearing this remark, the Governor became angry and retorted that the edict was from the Sultan, and he wanted to know how it could be described as meaningless. 'Abdu'l-Baha reiterated His comment and explained that it made no sense to describe their imprisonment as lasting for ever, for man lives in this world only for a short period, and that sooner or later the captives would leave this prison either dead or alive. The Governor and his officers were impressed by the vision of 'Abdu'l-Baha and felt easier in His presence.\n[1 In Arabic the term used for life imprisonment is often 'prisoner for ever'.]\nIt is interesting to note that some time later, when the Master emerged as the most eminent and the most loved person in 'Akka and the neighbouring lands, when practically all the people of 'Akka, both high and low, turned to Him for help, and when the Governors and high officials sought His advice and sat at His feet to receive enlightenment, the edict of the Sultan together with other documents relating to the imprisonment of Baha'u'llah and His companions were removed from the government files and presented to 'Abdu'l-Baha by a government official.\nIn the meantime, life in the prison of 'Akka in the early days was extremely difficult and tortuous. For three months, the authorities did not allow Baha'u'llah to attend the public bath which in those days was the only place where people could take a bath. The guards had been given strict orders not to allow any person to visit Him. Even when a barber came to attend to Baha'u'llah's hair, he was accompanied by a guard and was not allowed to talk to Him. 'Abdu'l-Baha had to live in a room on the ground floor which had been formerly used as a morgue. Its moist air affected His health for the rest of His life. As for the prisoners, the filthy conditions under which they were living, the lack of proper food and hygiene, and the severity of restrictions, took their toll. Shortly after their arrival in the barracks, all but two fell sick. Nine of the ten guards were also struck down by illness. Malaria and dysentery added to their ordeal. The only two unaffected at <p20> that stage were 'Abdu'l-Baha and Aqa Riday-i-Qannad,[1] although both of them were taken ill at a later time. The Master, helped by this believer, attended to the needs of the sick and nursed them day and night. The authorities did not call for a doctor to administer medicine. With the few provisions at His disposal all that 'Abdu'l-Baha could do was to cook for them a simple broth and some rice each day. But the hygienic conditions were appalling. The heat was severe during the day and there was no adequate water for washing.\n[1 See vol. 1, pp. 288-9; vol. 2, pp. 403-4.]\nIn these circumstances three people died. The first victim was a certain Abu'l-Qasim-i-Sultan Abadi. Then two brothers, Ustad Muhammad-Baqir and Ustad Muhammad-Isma'il, both tailors by profession, died one evening within a few hours of each other. They were locked in each other's arms as they lay on the floor. Baha'u'llah particularly expressed His grief at this tragic death, and stated that never before had two brothers passed away from this dark world and entered the realms of glory in such unity. He, as stated in a Tablet,(9) praised them, showered His bounties upon them, and blessed their parents.\nThe burial of these three posed a difficult problem for the company of exiles. For the Government refused to allow anyone from among the prisoners to bury them, nor did they provide funds for their burial. The guards demanded payment of necessary expenses for burial before removing the bodies. And as there were very few possessions which could be sold, in order to raise the money Baha'u'llah ordered the sale of the only luxury He had, a small prayer carpet used by Him. This was done, and the proceeds were handed to the guards who then pocketed the money and buried the dead in the clothes they wore, without coffins and without the customary Muslim rites of washing and wrapping the bodies in shrouds.\nAs they were not allowed to be buried inside the Muslim Cemetery they were laid to rest outside it. Some years later <p21> 'Abdu'l-Baha arranged for one of the believers to build their graves, which are joined together.\nAfter the death of these three men, Baha'u'llah revealed a short healing prayer especially for the believers in the barracks and asked them to chant it repeatedly and with absolute sincerity. This the friends did and soon everyone recovered.\nThe Desolate City\nLong before His departure from Adrianople, Baha'u'llah had prophesied the impending calamities which were to befall Him in His forthcoming exile to 'Akka. In some of His Tablets revealed in Adrianople He had alluded to that city, in others He had mentioned 'Akka by name as being the next place of His exile. For instance in the Lawh-i-Sultan,[1] the Tablet to Nasiri'd-Din Shah of Persia, He had clearly prophesied that the next place of His exile would be 'Akka. Concerning that city He writes in that Tablet: 'According to what they say, it is the most desolate of the cities of the world, the most unsightly of them in appearance, the most detestable in climate, and the foulest in water.'(10)\n[1 See vol. 2, ch. 16.]\nIn another Tablet (11) revealed soon before His departure from Adrianople He predicts a new wave of calamities that would soon encompass Him in the fortress of 'Akka. He describes the conditions of the city in similar terms as those in the Lawh-i-Sultan, but declares that soon its climate would improve, because its Builder would enter it and adorn it with the ornament of His Greatest Name.\nThe foul air of 'Akka was often summed up by the proverb that a bird flying over the city would drop dead. But the climate changed soon after Baha'u'llah's arrival. To this the inhabitants of 'Akka testified, and many attributed it to the presence of Baha'u'llah. To cite one example: Mirza Abu'l-Fadl,[1] the famous Baha'i scholar, has, in his well-known <p22> work Fara'id, quoted the testimony of one of the leading men of culture in 'Akka. These are his words:\n[1 See below, p. 91.]\nIn the year AH 1313 (1895-6) when the writer was staying in\nSyria, Ya'qub-ibn-Betros of Lebanon, who is a learned\ndoctor of divinity and linguistics in those parts and well\nknown amongst the Christian community of 'Akka,\ncomposed the following statements in praise of the Holy\nShrine of Baha'u'llah in 'Akka and offered this composition\nto His Holiness 'Abdu'l-Baha, and presented me with a\ncopy of the composition as a gift.\n'Set betwixt the twin mounts of Lebanon and Carmel is the\nBahji,\nTherein is the resting place of Baha, the Lord of Bounty and\nThe Chosen Master, the Lamp of Guidance, Baha--the\nSplendour and the Light of the Sun of Truth,\nHe Who is the Luminary of all names,\nTherein the true joy, the Desire of all hearts, hearts that seek\nHis lights,\nThe Solace of the eyes, the Fulfilment and Realization of all\nBy His beneficent presence, the water that springs from the\nwells of those parts was purified (i.e. of 'Akka) and the air\nand clime of 'Akka and its environs were changed.'\nIn these words above there is a definite and clear reference\nto the transformation that occurred in the city of 'Akka as a\nresult of the presence of Baha'u'llah. As this land was well\nknown for its foul water, for its bad weather, for the\nbitterness and saltiness of its fountains and wells, so much\nso that it was the prison city for those who had gravely\noffended the Ottoman Government and it was the penal\ncolony of those condemned to death, its peoples were all\nusually ill and had a sallow appearance because of its bad\nweather and climate. But when this territory became the\nplace of exile of Baha'u'llah, its bitter waters were changed,\nits inclement weather transformed.(12)\nWhen Baha'u'llah arrived in 'Akka there was no source of <p23> fresh water within the city gates fit to drink. There was a well, situated about ten minutes walk from the city, from which most of the people carried water to their homes. But its taste was very unpleasant. Baha'u'llah and His companions used this water, which was carried by the believers to the prison. There was one believer in particular, Aqa 'Azim-i-Tafrishi, who served Baha'u'llah and His companions as a water-supplier. It was a difficult task, as he had to make numerous trips to the well and carry skinfuls of water on his back to the friends in 'Akka. Later he managed to get water with a better taste from springs at Kabri, which were situated in the same direction as Bahji and about half an hour's walking distance from 'Akka.\nAqa 'Azim was a devoted believer who had first attained the presence of Baha'u'llah in Baghdad and become the recipient of His bounties and favours. After some time he returned to Persia where he engaged himself in serving the friends. There he worked as a servant in the household of Mirza Nasru'llah-i-Tafrishi and when the latter went to Adrianople in company with his son and with his brother Mirza Rida-Quli, 'Azim also went with the party. Mirza Nasru'llah, who was a brother of Badri-Jan, one of the wives of Mirza Yahya Azal,[1] died in Adrianople. However, 'Azim remained in Adrianople in the service of Mirza Rida-Quli and his nephew.\n[1 See vols. 1 and 2; and below, p. 235.]\nThe main reason for their journey to Adrianople was that their sister had deserted her husband and had taken refuge in the household of Jinab-i-Kalim,[1] Baha'u'llah's faithful brother. In these circumstances the two brothers were summoned to Adrianople to take their sister back to Persia. But soon after the death of Mirza Nasru'llah, Baha'u'llah and His companions were exiled to 'Akka; Badri-Jan, her brother Rida-Quli, and nephew along with Aqa 'Azim were included in the party which accompanied Baha'u'llah. As we shall see later, Rida-Quli and his sister joined hands in 'Akka with <p24> Siyyid Muhammad-i-Isfahani,[2] the Anti-Christ of the Revelation of Baha'u'llah, and were cast out of the community by Baha'u'llah; later Rida-Quli was murdered along with two other followers of Mirza Yahya.[3]\n[1 See vols. 1 and 2.]\n[3 See below, pp. 235ff.]\nAs to Aqa 'Azim, as soon as he discovered the signs of unfaithfulness towards Baha'u'llah in his master, he dissociated himself from him and continued to serve Baha'u'llah and His companions with great devotion and selflessness. Through his sincerity, faith, and services he acquired the good pleasure of his Lord who continued to shower upon him His blessings till the end of his life.\nThe water in 'Akka, of which 'Azim was a carrier for Baha'u'llah and His followers, improved considerably not merely in its quality but became more easily available through the restoration of a disused aqueduct, bringing fresh water to the city. This also happened through the influence of the word of Baha'u'llah.\nWhen Baha'u'llah was in the house of 'Abbud, He prophesied to him that God would raise up a person to restore the aqueduct, which had fallen into disuse, and expressed a desire that 'Abbud might become the one to carry out this project. 'Abbud was a Christian merchant of great influence in 'Akka and was highly respected by the people. It is said of him that when he walked through the city people stood up and showed their respect to him. But 'Abbud did not follow Baha'u'llah's advice. Soon after this, Ahmad Big Tawfiq, the Governor of 'Akka who had become aware of Baha'u'llah's greatness and had evinced an ardent admiration for 'Abdu'l-Baha, and who often sat at His feet for instruction and illumination, was allowed an audience with Baha'u'llah. It was in the course of that audience when the Governor offered to do some service for Him, that Baha'u'llah suggested the restoration of the aqueduct for the benefit of the people of <p25> 'Akka. To this suggestion, the Governor readily responded and arose to carry it out.\nHowever, the restoration of the aqueduct was not completed until Faydi Pasha became Governor of 'Akka. He was a great personality in government circles in Istanbul and a man of action. It was he who completed this project, although his tenure of office was very short indeed. Husayn-i-Ashchi has left us with an account, summarized below, concerning the aqueduct.\nWhen Faydi Pasha arrived in 'Akka, he noticed that water\nfrom the springs at Kabri was now within easy reach of\n'Akka but the work of completing the building of the\naqueduct was at a standstill. He remonstrated with those\nresponsible and ordered an immediate resumption of work.\nMunicipal workers were drafted to complete this project\n... with his tremendous drive and personal supervision, a\ntask which would normally have taken at least six months to\naccomplish was completed within six days. Fresh water\narrived in 'Akka and the people of the city rejoiced. One\nhundred and one cannon shots were fired to celebrate the\noccasion.(13)\nLawh-i-Salman (Tablet of Salman)\nThis is a significant Tablet revealed in honour of Shaykh Salman whose life story has been mentioned in the two previous volumes. He is the one who travelled every year between Persia and the places of Baha'u'llah's exile, carrying His Tablets for the friends to Persia and bringing their letters and messages back to Him. Salman has several Tablets in his honour, two of which are known as Lawh-i-Salman I and II. The first Tablet is described in volume 2, chapter 13. This is the second. This Tablet was revealed in 'Akka during the early part of Baha'u'llah's imprisonment in the barracks, for in it He refers to the believers exiled[1] to Mosul from Baghdad. This <p26> happened in the summer of 1868. Baha'u'llah refers to this event also in His Tablet to Nasiri'd-Din Shah of Persia which was written shortly before His departure from Adrianople.\n[1 See vol. 2, pp. 334-6.]\nIn this Tablet Baha'u'llah counsels Salman to be resigned to the decrees of God and with acquiescence accept tests and trials in His path. He describes His own sufferings, states that although every door is closed to His face and the enemies are at all times at work trying to extinguish His light, yet it shines as brilliant as the sun, shedding light upon all who are in heaven and on earth. He urges Salman to follow His example and never complain when afflicted by abasement or misery in this life, rather he should focus his attention upon God, and seek no one but Him. In one of His Tablets, Baha'u'llah cites His own celebrated utterance: 'He doeth what He pleaseth and ordaineth what He willeth.' He states that anyone who fully believes these words will remain steadfast in His Cause and will find himself possessed of such confidence and certitude that nothing in the world will make him falter or fill him with fear and dismay.\nBaha'u'llah reminds Salman that those who look for glory in this world and are proud of their position in it have grievously erred, for soon the messenger of death will bring an end to all earthly attachments.\nIn a Tablet to Nabil-i-A'zam, Baha'u'llah reveals these words concerning the transitory nature of this world: By the righteousness of God! The world and its vanities, and its glory, and whatever delights it can offer, are all, in the Sight of God, as worthless as, nay, even more contemptible than, dust and ashes. Would that the hearts of men could comprehend it! Wash yourselves thoroughly, O people of Baha, from the defilement of the world, and of all that pertaineth unto it. God Himself beareth Me witness. The things of the earth ill beseem you. Cast them away unto such as may desire them, and fasten your eyes upon this most holy and effulgent Vision.\nThat which beseemeth you is the love of God, and the <p27>\nlove of Him Who is the Manifestation of His Essence, and\nthe observance of whatsoever He chooseth to prescribe\nunto you, did ye but know it.(14)\nWhen the news of Baha'u'llah's banishment from Adrianople reached the people of Persia, the enemies together with the followers of Azal took heart and prophesied the downfall of the Cause and its Author. They fabricated false stories and widely spread them around to demoralize the believers. Among these was the rumour that Baha'u'llah and His companions had been drowned on their way to 'Akka. Many believers were alarmed and some even made enquiries about the circumstances of Baha'u'llah's banishment through the British Telegraph office in Julfa, the centre of the Christian community in the neighbourhood of Isfahan.\nIt was at this time that some of the teachers of the Cause, those whom Baha'u'llah had referred to(15})as the 'learned ones in Baha', and extolled as 'the billows of the most Mighty Ocean', 'the stars of the firmament of Glory' and the 'standards of triumph waving betwixt earth and heaven', arose with determination to refute these false rumours.\nForemost among them were the erudite Mirza Ahmad-i-Azghandi and Mulla Muhammad-i-Furughi. We have already referred to the former in a previous volume[1] and described the extent of his knowledge. We have also mentioned briefly the circumstances which had led the latter,[2] a survivor of the Fort of Tabarsi, to recognize the station of Baha'u'llah. In more than one Tablet Baha'u'llah has extolled the station of these two men from the Province of Khurasan, and has stated that God had chosen them especially to announce the glad-tidings of His Revelation to the peoples of the world.(16) These two men, who were teaching the Faith and explaining the fulfilment of the prophecies of old concerning the coming of the Promised One of Islam and later of Baha'u'llah, were of <p28> especially great help to the believers in this incident. Through their vast knowledge of the prophecies and their depth of understanding, they proclaimed to the friends the falsity of such rumours as the drowning of Baha'u'llah in the sea. They made it clear that if such a thing had happened, then all that had been revealed by God in past Dispensations--including the Revelation of the Bab--would have been invalid.\n[1 Vol. 1, p. 194]\n[2 See vol. 2, pp. 114-15]\nIndeed, Baha'u'llah's exile to 'Akka and the establishment of His Throne in the Holy Land is one of the great proofs of the authenticity of the Revelations of the past, which have in numerous passages and in glowing terms foretold the coming of the Lord to that land.\nThe Templers of Haifa\nSignificantly, many Bible scholars of the nineteenth century concluded that the second coming of Christ was at hand and that, according to many, it would happen around the year 1844.[1] Therefore, it is not surprising that a group of Germans known as the Templers left their homes in their enthusiasm to meet the Lord when He should come, and sailed to the Holy Land. They had concluded from the prophecies that the Messiah would appear there, that the people of all races would recognize Him and that He would establish His spiritual throne in that land. They began to arrive at the foot of Mount Carmel in the year of Baha'u'llah's Declaration in far-off Baghdad (1863), and built a colony (1868) which was located about a mile to the west of the then village of Haifa. On their doorways still remains the inscription 'Der Herr ist Nahe' (The Lord is near).\n[1 The year of the Declaration of the Bab, the Forerunner of Baha'u'llah.]\nHow significant it is that when in Haifa years later, Baha'u'llah even pitched His tent next door to them: God passed them by and they did not recognize Him. A Tablet was even revealed by Baha'u'llah in response to a letter from Georg David Hardegg, the head of the Templers in Haifa. This <p29> Tablet, known as the Lawh-i-Hirtik (Tablet of Hirtik), is in Arabic and appears to have been revealed in the house of 'Udi Khammar (see below, p. 221).\n[Illustrations appearing between pages 28 and 29:]\nBearing in mind that the Templers had come to the Holy Land for the sole purpose of witnessing the return of Christ, this Tablet assumes a special significance. Its perusal leads one to think that Hardegg, its recipient, must have been familiar with the language of mystery which is to be found in this Tablet. Baha'u'llah states that He had found in Hardegg's letter signs which pointed to his sincerity, and prays that God may assist him to understand the truths hidden in this Tablet, and enable him to hear the melodies of the Divine Nightingale. He urges him to meditate on the word of God, its power as well as its sweetness, reminds him that it was the power of the word of God which attracted the heart of the first believer in Christ, states that it is through their idle fancy and vain imaginings that the majority of the peoples have been kept back from recognizing their Lord, asserts that land and sea in this day are proclaiming the truth of God, and that when the appointed time had come, Mount Carmel became exhilarated by the breezes wafting from the direction of its Lord.\nBaha'u'llah calls the attention of Hardegg to the days of Christ when the divines, the learned and the philosophers of the time denied Him, while a fisherman devoid of knowledge and learning recognized Him. He assures Hardegg that if he were to meditate sincerely on the history of the past while keeping God in his sight, he would behold the light of God manifest before his eyes. Baha'u'llah confirms Hardegg's views about the darkness which has fallen upon the earth and explains that darkness is vain imaginings which have enveloped the peoples and prevented them from turning to the Kingdom of God which is manifested in this Day.\nAlthough Baha'u'llah in this Tablet speaks generally about the Revelation of God in this age, of the warbling of the Nightingale, of the flowing of the water of life, of the appearance of the light of God and of His Kingdom, He does <p30> not explicitly state His own station nor does He refer to His own person in clear terms. Indeed, He declares that if He were to reveal the sign of the One who is veiled in mystery-- meaning Himself--the hearts of the people would be filled with fear and consternation. Perhaps the reason for this is that Baha'u'llah, who had already forbidden His followers to teach His Faith to the people living under the rule of the Ottoman Empire, found it unwise to proclaim His station in an explicit manner to the members of the Christian colony living in Haifa.\nFurthermore, part of this Tablet is revealed in the language of mystery. For instance, Baha'u'llah in a maze of several Arabic letters, and alluding to certain key words from His other Tablets or those of the Bab and even of Islam, constructs His own name. One needs to be well versed in the Holy Writings of these Faiths in order to grasp the significance of these symbolic utterances used by Baha'u'llah. Moreover, by employing the technique of using the numerical values of Arabic letters,[1] He produces the word 'Comforter' which is a reference to His own station in the terminology of the New Testament. It is hard to believe that the recipient of this Tablet would have been able to fathom some of the symbolic and mysterious terms deliberately used by Baha'u'llah. Probably it is for this reason that in the beginning of this Tablet, He prays that God may assist Hardegg to understand the significance of what is hidden in His words. He assures him that if he should meditate on what He has advised him and follow His counsels, he will find the truth in this day.\n[1 Each letter of the Arabic alphabet has a numerical value; therefore it is\npossible to express a word by a number and vice versa.]\nNeedless to say, neither Hardegg nor any other member of the Christian colony was able to recognize the truth of the Message of Baha'u'llah. This in spite of the fact that from the early days some members of the colony, including Hardegg himself, had been in contact with the believers and with 'Abdu'l-Baha, and that later, towards the end of His ministry, Baha'u'llah Himself visited Haifa and at one time stayed in one <p31> of the houses belonging to the Templers. That they failed to recognize Him may seem strange to an observer who is unfamiliar with the history of religions--a history which repeats itself every time a new Manifestation of God is revealed to mankind. Almost two thousand years before the German Templers came to the Holy Land, the inhabitants of that same land expected with much earnestness the coming of their Messiah, and yet when He manifested Himself in the person of Christ and appeared in their midst, they rejected Him. These words of Baha'u'llah are truly applicable to their case:\nConsider the past. How many, both high and low, have, at\nall times, yearningly awaited the advent of the\nManifestations of God in the sanctified persons of His\nchosen Ones. How often have they expected His coming,\nhow frequently have they prayed that the breeze of Divine\nmercy might blow, and the promised Beauty step forth\nfrom behind the veil of concealment, and be made manifest\nto all the world. And whensoever the portals of grace did\nopen, and the clouds of divine bounty did rain upon\nmankind, and the light of the Unseen did shine above the\nhorizon of celestial might, they all denied Him, and turned\naway from His face--the face of God Himself...(17) <p32>\n'The Cause of God will Flourish through Persecution'\nThe rejection by man of the Manifestation of God is the most grievous event in human society and one which brings great sorrow and suffering to Him. It was through man's perversity and blindness that Baha'u'llah suffered unbearable hardship and tribulation in 'Akka. But all the forces of opposition which were leagued against Him proved ineffective in destroying Him or His Cause. In many Tablets(1) revealed soon after His arrival in the prison of 'Akka, Baha'u'llah stated that the Cause of God would flourish through persecutions. He often counselled the believers not to be disturbed or feel sad when they heard the sufferings of their Lord in the Most Great Prison. He urged them not to dwell on the hardships and sufferings of His imprisonment, but rather to rejoice, because the Blessed Beauty, although severely oppressed, was in the utmost joy and contentment. In another Tablet He states:\nKnow thou, moreover, that We have been cast into an\nafflictive Prison, and are encompassed with the hosts of\ntyranny, as a result of what the hands of the infidels have\nwrought. Such is the gladness, however, which the Youth\nhath tasted that no earthly joy can compare unto it. By God!\nThe harm He suffereth at the hands of the oppressor can\nnever grieve His heart, nor can He be saddened by the\nascendancy of such as have repudiated His truth.\nSay: Tribulation is a horizon unto My Revelation. The\nday star of grace shineth above it, and sheddeth a light which\nneither the clouds of men's idle fancy nor the vain\nimaginations of the aggressor can obscure.(2) <p33>\nAnother theme repeatedly announced in the Tablets revealed in the early days of 'Akka is the invincibility of the Cause of God and the impotence of its enemies to destroy it. In one of these Tablets(3) Baha'u'llah assures the believers that tribulations inflicted upon Him in the path of God will never render Him powerless, nor will the winds of trials succeed in extinguishing the lamp of His Cause, a lamp whose radiance, He states, has illumined the whole world. He affirms that no measure of persecution and suffering which the enemy may heap upon Him is capable of depriving Him of His sovereignty and power, and He declares in majestic language the ascendancy of His Cause, an ascendancy such that if all the peoples of the world were to rise up against Him and attack Him with drawn swords from every direction they would be impotent to destroy His Cause. In the midst of the most harrowing afflictions He would proclaim that He was the Glory of God revealed for all who are in the heavens and all who are on earth.\nIn another Tablet(4) revealed in the same period, Baha'u'llah describes how His enemies had placed barriers between Him and His companions in the prison of 'Akka, barriers as feeble as their own vain imaginings. For they thought that they could hide the glory of the Sun behind the clouds of their self and passion, unaware that all created things derided their ignorance and blindness.\nAnd finally, there are Baha'u'llah's assuring words in most of these Tablets prophesying that ere long, through the power of God, the doors of the prison would be flung open, and He would come out of it with majesty and glory.\nAs we shall see later, these prophecies--the invincibility of His Cause, the ascendancy of His Revelation and the release of His own person and His companions from the prison of 'Akka--were all fulfilled.\nLawh-i-Ra'is\nIn the early stages of His imprisonment in the barracks and <p34> soon after the death of three of His followers, Baha'u'llah revealed the momentous Tablet of Ra'is in Persian, addressed to 'Ali Pasha, the Grand Vizir of Turkey, who was His great adversary and the one who had brought about His exile to 'Akka.[1]\n[1 See vol. 2.]\nAlready, a few months earlier, on His way to Gallipoli, Baha'u'llah had addressed to 'Ali Pasha a Tablet in Arabic known as the Suriy-i-Ra'is.[1] In it He had forcefully condemned the actions of the Grand Vizir as the main instigator of His exile to the prison city. Of the significance of this Tablet Baha'u'llah declares:\n[1 See vol. 2, pp. 411-17. The two Tablets, commonly designated as the Suriy-i-Ra'is (in Arabic) and the Lawh-i-Ra'is (in Persian) are addressed to the same person. In His writings Shoghi Effendi generally referred to these Tablets in this order, although occasionally he used the designation Surih for Lawh and vice versa.]\nFrom the moment the Suriy-i-Ra'is was revealed until the\npresent day, neither hath the world been tranquillized, nor\nhave the hearts of its peoples been at rest.(5)\nNow, in the Lawh-i-Ra'is, the second Tablet to 'Ali Pasha, written from within the walls of the Most Great Prison, Baha'u'llah rebukes him further for his acts of cruelty and inhuman treatment.\nThe tone of this Tablet is at once moving and tender. In it Baha'u'llah refers to 'Ali Pasha as one who considers himself to be the most exalted among men and Baha'u'llah, the supreme Manifestation of God, as the lowest of all servants. He identifies 'Ali Pasha with those who had opposed the Manifestations of the past and had wrongly regarded them to be the cause of discord and dissension in older dispensations. He admonishes him for his ignorance and immaturity, and reveals for him his true status as a person ruled by the most abject of all created things--namely self and passion. <p35>\nThis thought-provoking statement of Baha'u'llah denouncing self and passion as the worst of all human characteristics merits some explanation: we find similar statements in other Tablets also.\nThere are two contrasting forces working within man, the animal nature and the spiritual one. Self and passion may be described as the expression of the animal nature in the life of man, that nature which tends to drag him down into the abyss of material existence. On the other hand, the soul, which emanates from the spiritual worlds of God, becomes, if illumined with the light of faith, the motive power for the elevation of man into the realms of the spirit. One brings about his perishing on this earth, the other confers eternal life in the realms of God.\nThese two opposing forces within man are similar to the force of gravity pulling down a bird and the force of its wings lifting it upwards. As long as man turns away from the Manifestation of God--in this day Baha'u'llah--his soul is in darkness and devoid of the necessary power to lift itself up from the fetters of this mortal world. The animal nature becomes victor and the soul a bond-slave of self and passion.\nIn one of His Tablets(6) 'Abdu'l-Baha states that the word 'courageous' can apply to a person who conquers his own self and passion. For it is easier to conquer whole countries than to defeat one's own self. The purpose of the coming of the Manifestations of God is to endow the soul of man with spiritual qualities and enable him to defeat his greatest enemy--his own self.\nAnother enemy as dangerous as one's own self and passion is association with the ungodly which will dampen or destroy one's faith. This is Baha'u'llah's ominous warning:\nO Son of Dust! Beware! Walk not with the ungodly and\nseek not fellowship with him, for such companionship\nturneth the radiance of the heart into infernal fire.(7)\nThe word 'ungodly' should not be misunderstood. An <p36> ungodly person may profess belief in God, while many who regard themselves as agnostics or atheists may not be ungodly in reality. An ungodly person is one who through his friendship, knowingly or unknowingly, prevents a believer from following the dictates of his faith and becomes a barrier between him and his God.\nReturning to the Lawh-i-Ra'is, Baha'u'llah in that Tablet rebukes 'Ali Pasha for his cruelties in committing a number of innocent people including women and young children to the harsh life of a grim prison, expatiates on His own sufferings and those of His companions in that fortress, recounts the inhuman treatment meted out to everyone on the first night of their arrival in the barracks when the guards had refused to give them food or water, thereby causing unbearable hardship especially to mothers and their suckling babes, relates the tragic story of those two of His disciples who as a result of the prison's loathsome conditions were found dead locked in each other's arms, extols the spirit of love and devotion which two of His followers had manifested when they were prevented by the authorities from accompanying Baha'u'llah,[1] describes other cruelties and deprivations to which the prisoners were subjected without any justification, and asserts that no measure of persecution will ever affect the believers, for they long to offer up their lives in the path of their Lord.\n[1 Haji Ja'far-i-Tabrizi, who cut his own throat (see vol. 2, pp. 406-7) and 'Abdu'l-Ghaffar, who threw himself into the sea in desperation (see vol. 2, p. 411).]\nBaha'u'llah informs 'Ali Pasha that if he were to become vivified by the breezes of holiness which were being wafted from the glorious court of His presence, he would become so transformed as to renounce the world and long to dwell in one of the ruined quarters of the Most Great Prison. He narrates for him a story of His childhood, portraying in a dramatic way the instability and futility of this earthly life, counsels him not to rely on his pomp and glory as they will soon be coming to an <p37> end, reveals to him the greatness of His Revelation, points out the Pasha's impotence to quench the fire of the Cause of God, denounces him for the iniquities he has perpetrated, states that because of his cruelties, the Spirit of God has lamented, the pillars of His Throne have trembled and the hearts of His loved ones been shaken. He emphatically warns him that God's chastisement will assail him from every direction and confusion overtake his peoples and government, and affirms that the wrath of God has so surrounded him that he will never be able to repent for his wrongdoings or make amends.\nOn this last point, Mirza Aqa Jan, Baha'u'llah's amanuensis, asked Him what would happen if, after all, 'Ali Pasha changed his attitude and truly repented. Baha'u'llah's emphatic response was that whatever had been stated in the Lawh-i-Ra'is would inevitably be fulfilled, and if all the peoples of the world were to join together in order to change one word of that Tablet, they would be impotent to do so.\nOn Miracles\nBaha'u'llah in the Lawh-i-Ra'is also states that at Gallipoli He sent a verbal message to the Sultan of Turkey through the Turkish officer in charge, who had promised to convey the message. He asked the Sultan to meet Him face to face for a few minutes in order that He might demonstrate to him the authenticity of His Mission. Baha'u'llah affirmed His readiness to produce anything that the Sultan considered to be a criterion for the truth of His Revelation. Should he fulfil this criterion through the power of God, then the Sultan should free all the innocent prisoners.\nBaha'u'llah explains that the only reason for this proposition was that a number of women and children were among the prisoners and had become the victims of tyranny and were afflicted with great hardship and suffering. He reiterates the basic principle that it is not befitting God to justify Himself to any man. For all the peoples of the world <p38> have been created to worship and obey Him. However, Baha'u'llah had consented in this case to allow the Sultan to seek from Him the truth of His Cause, so that the innocent might not suffer. But neither did the Sultan respond to this challenge nor did the above-mentioned officer send a report to Baha'u'llah.\nThis was not the only time Baha'u'llah offered to establish the validity of His Cause for those who held the reins of power in their hands. A similar challenging proposition was made to Nasiri'd-Din Shah of Persia in the Lawh-i-Sultan,[1] a proposition which was ignored by him and the divines.\nOn another occasion, in Baghdad, the divines of Shi'ah Islam requested Baha'u'llah to perform a miracle for them. He accepted their demand provided they pledged their allegiance to His Cause should the miracle that they ask for be performed by Him. The divines became fearful and did not pursue the matter any more. We have already described the circumstances of this challenging episode in a former volume.[1]\nOn occasions such as this Baha'u'llah always stated that it was for God to test His servants and not the other way round. Indeed man will find himself in a sorry plight should he contemplate testing the Manifestation of God.\nThe question of miracles is one of the most misunderstood subjects concerning the prophets and messengers of God. The followers of most religions attribute miracles to their prophets. The belief in miracles comes from the study of the Holy Books of old religions and through traditions handed down from generation to generation. Religious leaders have endeavoured to emphasize miracles as one of the most important proofs of the authenticity of their faiths. Consequently the followers of a religion regard their own Prophet as one who had a halo of light around his head and carried out supernatural acts to convince people of His station.\nThe study of the life and teachings of the Prophets and their <p39> Holy Books shows that the opposite is true. The Manifestations of God have not established miracles as a testimony to their truth. They are the bearers of the Message of God and their mission is to educate the souls of men. Their word is creative and may be regarded as the greatest instrument for the vivification and regeneration of humanity. The Baha'i view concerning miracles is that the Manifestations of God derive their power and authority from Almighty God. They are the embodiments of His attributes and the manifestations of His glory in this world. They are therefore able to do what they will, even to change the laws of nature and perform miracles. For it is obvious that God, having established the laws of nature, is Himself able to change them if He so wishes. To entertain doubt that He can do this is tantamount to attributing impotence to Him. The followers of Baha'u'llah therefore do not deny the possibility of the performance of miracles by the Prophets and Messengers of God. However, such miracles, even when they have been performed, are valid as proof only for the few who have witnessed them. They cannot be regarded as a conclusive testimony to the authenticity of the message of the Prophet. For no one can prove that a certain miracle attributed to a Prophet has actually been performed. On the other hand, some of the miracles mentioned in the Holy Books such as the raising of the dead, the curing of lepers, or the ascending to heaven have spiritual significance. Baha'u'llah has revealed these meanings in many of His Writings and especially in the Kitab-i-Iqan.\nThere is a great difference between fact and belief. There are things in this life whose existence is proved and no one has ever denied them. For example, the existence of the sea on this planet is a proven fact and no person, including those who have never seen the sea, has ever denied its existence. But having a belief in something with which a number of people may disagree is a different matter. Such a belief may not be used as factual evidence for the simple reason that its authenticity is <p40> challenged, even though the belief in itself may be true. Miracles are examples of this. For instance, the followers of Christ believe that He performed many miracles. But since many people have denied the claim, one cannot consider these miracles as a factual reality, although they may well have been performed.\nIn the earlier days of the Baha'i Faith when religion was still a vital force in society and exerted a far deeper influence upon the hearts of men than it does nowadays, people asked for religious proofs when they took part in discussion with Baha'is. One of the major questions was that of miracles. Many people believed blindly in them and the task of the Baha'i teacher was to explain the reality and true significance of miracles in religion. But when beliefs are held fanatically a mere explanation is not always successful. This is why some of the old teachers of the Faith, when conversing with a dogmatic person whose religious beliefs bordered on vain imaginings, conducted their discussions in such a way as to enable him to first see the hollowness of his ideas, and then to present him with the Message of Baha'u'llah. This often helped those who were sincere and pure-hearted to see the light of truth.\nTo cite an example, here is the gist of a dialogue between Haji Muhammad Tahir-i-Malmiri,[1] one of the early believers, and a Christian missionary in Yazd. The former has recorded his recollections of this dialogue in his memoirs. The following is a translation of a part of this interesting discussion:\n[1 The father of the author; for more information see vol. 1, Appendix II.]\nSome years ago a Christian clergyman... was touring\nPersia doing missionary work. While staying in Yazd he\nused to give public lectures and interview such people as he\nregarded as prospective converts. He knew the Persian\nlanguage well and had a fairly good knowledge of Persian\nlife, habits and trends of thought. One morning I, together\nwith a couple of friends, went to see him at the missionary\nhouse. He received us very kindly. We exchanged greetings\nand after indulging in a few minutes of ordinary talk the <p41>\nsubject of religion was broached. So far as I can remember\nthe following is the gist of the conversation that passed\nbetween us:\nI: What do you know about the Baha'i Faith?\nHe: I am afraid I do not know anything about it.\nI: What do you know about the Christian Faith?\nHe: Well, I know almost everything about Christianity.\nI: Could you please explain to me some of the things you\nknow about the Christian religion?\nHe: Oh yes, by all means and with pleasure. But is there\nanything particular you want me to describe?\nI: I would like you to prove for me the authenticity of\nChrist's message; in other words, how can I be sure that\nthe Christian religion is true and divine?\nHe: But you already believe that Christ was the Son of God\nand that Christianity is divine in origin, don't you?\nI: Yes, in fact I do; but this belief came to me through the\nword of Muhammad, and since you regard him as an\nimpostor, then in that case his word loses its authority\naltogether and none of his utterances can be trusted to\ncontain truth.\nHe turned round and reached for a copy of the New Testament which lay on his desk. He then started reading passages concerning miracles performed by Christ--raising the dead, curing the leper, healing the sick, etc. Then after a pause conversation was resumed as follows:\nI: I regret to say that your readings did not help to\nenlighten me on the subject. I shall appreciate it if you\nwill kindly demonstrate for me the truth of Christ's\nrevelation by means of rational proofs.\nHe: I am sorry we don't have anything other than what is\ngiven in the Book.\nI: Muslims attribute lots of miracles to their prophet,\nHe: There is not a grain of truth in all that they say.\nI: The Jews categorically deny all these miracles you\nascribe to the person of Christ, as you deny those\nmiracles which Muslims attribute to Muhammad.\nHe: You know Jews are our antagonists, and as such you <p42>\nshould not expect them to utter words in praise of our\nI: Muslims also argue the same way. They say since\nChristians reject Islam as a false religion, therefore the\nview they hold regarding our Prophet is highly biased\nand distorted.\nHe: You ought to be sure that the charges they bring against\nus are ail baseless.\nI: Now let us see, if an earnest seeker sincerely wishes to\ncomprehend the reality of Christ's mission, do you\nthink these miracles will lead to the truth?\nHe: Oh yes, I think these miracles are the greatest proof of\nI: But can anyone regard miracles as conclusive proof\nwithout witnessing them?\nHe: Yes, you ought to be sure that it all came to pass.\nI: Can we accept the miracles attributed to Muhammad as\ntrue without any visual evidence?\nHe: Certainly not.\nI: How is it then that in the case of miracles which you\nattribute to Christ there is no need for evidence,\nwhereas in the case of Muhammad's it should be\nsubstantiated by visual evidence?\nHe: Because we regard Muhammad as one of the false\nprophets and the so-called supernatural acts of his are\nmere fabrications.\nI: The Zoroastrians attribute some miracles to Zoroaster.\nCan we accept their assertions without any evidence?\nHe: No. For the simple reason that we do not recognize\nZoroaster as a divine messenger.\nI: Baha'is attribute certain supernatural acts to the Bab,\nthe Forerunner of the Baha'i Faith, who appeared in\nShiraz, Persia. Can we believe what they say?\nHe: I think Baha'is can be trusted, but even so they must\nfurnish evidence in support of their claim.\nI: Now let us see, how is it that all the creeds other than\nChristianity Will have to substantiate their assertions by\nevidence while you maintain that the words written in\nthe Bible ought to be accepted arbitrarily as conclusive\nproof? <p43>\nHe: As I said, we don't have any proofs greater than\nmiracles, however, if you can produce anything from\nBaha'u'llah superior to those acts of Christ I shall be\nmuch delighted.\nI: So long as you fail to appreciate the reality of Christ in\nits true perspective and persist in regarding miracles as\nthe decisive test for a prophet--miracles which you\nhave never seen nor could prove to have occurred in\ntheir outward sense--I am sorry to say that you won't\nbe able to know Baha'u'llah.\nHe: Then what is the conclusive evidence other than\nI: We Baha'is believe that the proof of Prophethood must\nbe something so convincing, so overwhelming, that no\none in the whole world could deny or be able to\nquestion its validity.\nHe: Can you tell me what that proof is?\nI: I did not mean to say what that proof is. I simply\nwanted to point out the essential quality of such a proof.\nYou already know that the Jews, Buddhists and\nZoroastrians deny those miracles you attribute to\nChrist, the same as you reject those which Muslims,\nBuddhists and Zoroastrians ascribe to their respective\nprophets. Therefore miracles ought to be dismissed\naltogether as a conclusive proof, because they fall short\nof the essential quality such proofs must possess.\nHe: That sounds right and I agree with you, but is there any\nproof you could call conclusive?\nI: Now, I will tell you something, please see if it stands the\nHe: Very well.\nI: I think no one in the whole world would deny the fact\nthat over 1900 years ago there lived a man named Jesus\nwho rose up and declared Himself as one who\nembodied the Spirit of God.\nI: Well, do you think there is anyone who could deny this\nfact? Even those who disbelieve in Him admit that He\ndid claim to have been invested with such a mission,\nthough they might say His declaration was a false one. <p44>\nIs there anyone who could say there is no Christian in\nthe world, that those many millions who bear allegiance\nto Christianity do not owe their faith primarily to the\nWord of Christ or that Christ influenced his adherents\nthrough acquired knowledge or through material\nwealth or power?\nI: Can you or I or any other human being on this planet,\nguided by his own impulse, stand up to-day, say the\nsame thing that Christ said and succeed in establishing a\nnew religion without any material means?\nHe: That is splendid. How about Muhammad?(8)[1]\n[1 See vol. 2, pp. 21-2, for the rest of the dialogue.]\nThe greatest miracle of the Manifestation of God is that He changes the hearts of people and creates a new civilization merely through the influence of His word. Every word that He utters is creative[1] and endowed with such potency that all the powers of the world will not be able to resist the world-vivifying forces that are released through it. Like the animating energies of the spring season which are let loose in abundance and penetrate to the core of all living things, the creative Word of the Manifestation of God revolutionizes human society and by its resistless force breaks down man-made barriers of opposition, creating a new race of men and a new civilization.\n[1 See more explanation about the Word of God in vols. 1 and 2.]\nThere can be no miracle greater than this, a miracle that every unbiased observer can witness and the glory of which can never be dimmed by the passage of time. But those who have no spiritual insight and follow their own vain imaginings have opposed the Manifestations of God and one form of this opposition is to demand the performance of miracles.\nWhen Baha'u'llah was in 'Akka, four Muslim divines from the village of Manshad in the province of Yazd sent a letter to Baha'u'llah introducing themselves as followers of Azal in order to test Him. They posed two riddles and promised to <p45> accept His Cause if He revealed the correct answers. This is a translation of a part of their letter:\nThe first question is to inform us of the death of a certain\nman or woman of Manshad, by predicting the exact hour,\nand the date of death, the cause of death together with the\nname of the person, the name of his mother, his address, the\ndescription of his relatives and family and altogether every\ndetail of his personal status.\nThe second question is to inform us of the birth of a\ncertain child, by predicting its sex, the name of the mother,\nand of the father, and the exact time and date of birth in this\nyear...(9)\nMan, with his petty mind and narrow vision and in an egotistical mood, stands before his Lord, challenges Him to comply with his trivial and idle fancies and warns the Manifestation of God that unless He produces what is demanded of Him, He will be rejected. How dreadful this seems to anyone endowed with a measure of spiritual insight! The questions put to Baha'u'llah on this occasion are as comical as they are pitiful. In answer to this a lengthy Tablet(10) was revealed by Baha'u'llah, partly in the words of His amanuensis and partly His own words,[1] admonishing the writers for their perversity and blindness in testing God. In it He announces the advent of the Day of God, and states that the outpouring of His Revelation has encompassed the world. How grievous then is the plight of those who are seeking proof when the signs of His power and majesty are evident on all sides. This is not the day for asking questions but for hearkening to the call of God and embracing His Cause. He reminds them, by quoting various passages from the Qur'an, <p46> that the unbelievers of a previous dispensation had demanded the performance of miracles from the Prophet of Islam. They asked Him to send down angels from heaven, to make water gush forth out of the earth, to cause the sky to lie shattered in pieces, to produce a house made of gold, to ascend to the heavens and bring back a book and many similar demands. The study of the Qur'an makes it clear that Muhammad's response to these preposterous requests was that the main proof of His Mission was the revelation of the Word of God.\n[1 Some Tablets of Baha'u'llah are composed in such a way that a part of the Tablet is in the words of His amanuensis, but in fact was dictated by Baha'u'llah to appear as if composed by the amanuensis. Every word of the Tablet therefore is from Baha'u'llah Himself. For more information see vol. 1, pp. 40-42.]\nBaha'u'llah warns the four clergymen of Manshad that by testing God their plight was as grievous as those who denied Him in former dispensations. An interesting aspect of this episode is that since these men introduced themselves as followers of Azal, Baha'u'llah addressed them in this Tablet as if they were Azalis. He quoted profusely from the Writings of the Bab in support of His argument. This He did notwithstanding the fact that He knew well who the four were. Apart from His divine knowledge which encompassed all created things, it was well known to Him and even. to His disciples that there were no such followers of Azal in Manshad. Some of the believers living at that time[1] in 'Akka were actually from the village of Manshad and knew the identity of these men very well!\n[1 This was in 1885.]\nThis is where the Manifestation of God tests man by appearing to be ignorant of the truth. This is where he hides His glory and knowledge from the eyes of men so that the bad may not gain admittance into His Court of holiness and become equal with the good. And this is where man's free will to follow whichever path he may choose is not interfered with, and he is not turned into a puppet manipulated from on high.[1] By addressing them as if they were the followers of Azal, Baha'u'llah put these four men to the test. Actually one of the four was known to have claimed privately to a few Baha'is that he was inclined towards the Faith in his heart. This Tablet, <p47> however, was a test for him. He failed in it and lost his faith altogether.\n[1 See also pp. 2-4 above.]\nTest is an integral part of creation. Even in this physical world there are tests. We note that as long as an object is stationary there are no tests, but as soon as there is movement there will be resistance, which is nature's form of test. The faster one moves, the greater the resistance. For instance, a modern aircraft flying faster than sound meets such resistance by its sheer speed that its body becomes red hot.\nThis is true in a spiritual sense also. God tests His servants. It is stated in the Qur'an:\nWe will surely prove you by afflicting you in some measure\nwith fear, and hunger, and decrease of wealth, and loss of\nlives and scarcity of fruits...[1](11)\n[1 The Arabic word for 'fruits' is thamarat, which also means descendants, or one's children. One could translate this phrase as 'loss of lives and descendants'.]\nIn many of His Tablets Baha'u'llah speaks of tests, especially in this Day when God, by revealing Himself, has tested even the realities of the Prophets and chosen ones. These are the words of Baha'u'llah:\nBy the righteousness of God! These are the days in which\nGod hath proved the hearts of the entire company of His\nMessengers and Prophets, and beyond them those that\nstand guard over His sacred and inviolable Sanctuary, the\ninmates of the celestial Pavilion and dwellers of the\nTabernacle of Glory.(12)\nWhen the individual embraces the Cause of God he will be tested in many ways, often without realizing it. Each time he is successful in passing a test, he will acquire greater spiritual insight and will grow stronger in faith. He will come closer to <p48> God, will be elevated to a higher level of service and his tests will be more difficult next time. But if through ego, which is the most harmful form of attachment to this world, he fails in this, his faith will be weakened and he could lose it altogether. There were many believers among the outstanding teachers of the Cause who served it with great distinction and ability and defended it against its adversaries; yet when the winds of tests blew, their insincerity and selfish ambitions became apparent and robbed them of the mantle of faith so that they perished spiritually.\nBut the nature of the tests which confront the believer may vary from age to age. In the days of the Bab, Baha'u'llah, and 'Abdu'l-Baha, tests were mainly in the form of persecution and martyrdom. The believers were often faced with situations in which they had either to recant their faith in public or give their lives. But the hand of divine power had so sustained and strengthened them that the great majority stood steadfast till the end and heroically quaffed the cup of martyrdom.\nToday in the Formative Age the tests of the Baha'is come mainly from two sources. The first lies outside the Baha'i community; it is the challenge to live in a Baha'i way in a world which is corrupt, spiritually bankrupt, and characterized by all the evil influences of a decadent civilization. Within such a world heading swiftly towards destruction, Baha'is must learn to be happy and confident, to hold to Baha'u'llah's vision of future society, and to adorn themselves with the characteristics of a Baha'i life. To live in accordance with the teachings of Baha'u'llah in a world so weighed down with evil is a severe test in this day, a test which every believer must undergo.\nThe other source of tests is from within the Baha'i community. Those who lived and laboured in the Heroic Age did not often suffer these tests as must do the present and future generations, for they had come into direct contact with the Supreme Manifestation of God and the Centre of His Covenant. Intoxicated by the wine of Their utterances, these souls forgot themselves and through their love and attraction <p49> became the spiritual giants of this Dispensation. There were less grounds for ill feeling or misunderstanding among the believers, since there were then no community activities as we know them now.\nBut in this Formative Age, the Baha'is work together within communities. Their Administrative Order, now maturing in its embryonic form, throws up many tests, embracing as it does people from every stratum of human society, rich and poor, young and old, learned and uneducated, veteran and newly enrolled, who must work in unity for the progress of the Faith. To work within such a community, the very nucleus and pattern of future world society, is not always free of tests.\nToday, then, the greatest tests come to the individual from his inability to work with the right spirit either within the institutions of the Administrative Order, or in relation to them. The basic problem may stem from an inadequate understanding of the nature of the institutions of the Faith. From old religious traditions come the idea that religious institutions are man-made additions to the teachings of the Prophet. Such an idea may act subconsciously as a bias in the mind of the individual when he studies the teachings of Baha'u'llah. Consequently he may not appreciate fully that, unlike other religions, the Author of the Faith Himself has brought into being, as part of the religion of God, its administrative institutions, and that the administrative principles of the Faith are on a par with its spiritual principles.\nAnother contributory factor to this misconception originates from the outside world where man-made institutions have become the focal points of contention and strife within society. Such thoughts, whether originating from old religions or from present-day political and social institutions, are so stamped upon the minds of men that they become as subconscious obstacles to the proper understanding of the Baha'i Administrative Order. There is need for real deepening in the verities of the Faith before the effect of these ill-judged notions can be completely eradicated. <p50>\nThe institutions of the Administrative Order are inseparable organs of the Faith of Baha'u'llah. The main features of this divine order were delineated by Baha'u'llah Himself[1] and by 'Abdu'l-Baha. It was Shoghi Effendi, the Guardian of the Faith, who erected its foundations and explained its functions. In his masterly description of the birth of the Administrative Order, Shoghi Effendi has summarized its genesis in these words:\n[1 See ch. 14.]\nThe moment had now arrived for that undying, that world-vitalizing\nSpirit that was born in Shiraz, that had been\nrekindled in Tihran, that had been fanned into flame in\nBaghdad and Adrianople, that had been carried to the West,\nand was now illuminating the fringes of five continents, to\nincarnate itself in institutions designed to canalize its\noutspreading energies and stimulate its growth.(13)\nThis great and penetrating vision of Shoghi Effendi, the unerring Interpreter of the Word of God, has disclosed in simple terms the relationship between the Revelation of Baha'u'llah and the Administrative Order of His Faith. It clearly emphasizes that the institutions of the Cause are not man-made additions, but rather divine channels through which the energies released by the Revelation of Baha'u'llah can flow to mankind.\nThe crowning edifice of the Administrative Order is the Universal House of Justice, its supreme institution. It is essential for a Baha'i to accept the authority of this august body and to believe that, in the words of 'Abdu'l-Baha, it is 'the source of all good and freed from all error...'(14) This is one of the verities of the Faith which a believer accepts wholeheartedly when he embraces the Cause of Baha'u'llah. No faithful Baha'i will question the authority or infallibility of this supreme body which is under the guidance of the Bab and Baha'u'llah.\nBut tests are often brought about when serving on local or <p51> national institutions. To cite one example: during the consultation period members are often tested, probably without realizing it. The standards of conduct which must govern the motives and actions of the members of assemblies during consultation are noble and very high indeed. The following words of 'Abdu'l-Baha set out some of these lofty standards:\nThe prime requisites for them that take counsel together are\npurity of motive, radiance of spirit, detachment from all else\nsave God, attraction to His Divine Fragrances, humility and\nlowliness amongst His loved ones, patience and long-suffering\nin difficulties and servitude to His exalted\nThreshold... The first condition is absolute love and\nharmony amongst the members of the assembly. They must\nbe wholly free from estrangement and must manifest in\nthemselves the Unity of God, for they are the waves of one\nsea, the drops of one river, the stars of one heaven, the rays\nof one sun, the trees of one orchard, the flowers of one\nThe standards established by 'Abdu'l-Baha in the aforementioned Tablet are essential requisites for Baha'i consultation and are not subject to compromise or change.[1] Failure to apply them may turn the meeting of a Spiritual Assembly into a battle arena for its members, whose faith and steadfastness in the Covenant may be severely tested during consultation. The spiritual battles within the heart begin when the ego comes on to the scene. A believer will bring suffering and test upon himself to the extent that he ignores 'Abdu'l-Baha's exhortations and allows his selfish interests or un-Baha'i practices to influence his participation in assembly consultation.\n[1 See also below, pp. 317-18.]\nThe practice of the spiritual principles of consultation must be genuine and true. The feelings of love, unity, patience, humility, servitude, devotion, courtesy and other virtues called for by 'Abdu'l-Baha must come from the heart. If not, one has failed to meet the tests, and the spiritual battle has not been won. <p52>\nThe edict of the Sultan condemning Baha'u'llah to solitary life imprisonment and forbidding Him to meet anyone, including His companions, was at the beginning carried out strictly. But very soon the prison authorities became aware of the striking majesty of Baha'u'llah, the loftiness of His standards and the exalted character of His person. They were also deeply impressed by the loving disposition of the Master, His divine qualities and virtues; they increasingly turned to Him for advice and guidance. As a result they became lenient and relaxed some of the restrictions.\nAs time went on the companions of Baha'u'llah were allotted rooms in different parts of the barracks. Some of them took on essential duties such as cooking, cleaning, water delivery or shopping and some were able to spend their free time in other useful work. At one stage 'Abdu'l-Baha engaged a certain Egyptian by the name of Haji 'Aliy-i-Misri[1] to come to the barracks and teach the prisoners the art of making rush mats. As the restrictions were somewhat relaxed the companions were able to communicate with Baha'u'llah and even attain His presence.\n[1 As a result of coming into contact with 'Abdu'l-Baha this man was deeply attracted to the Cause, and his son, who was a rebellious youth, was transformed into a new person and became an ardent believer.]\nAn important point to bear in mind is that at no time did Baha'u'llah break the rules imposed upon Him, either in the prison or in later years. It was the authorities, sometimes encouraged by 'Abdu'l-Baha, who relaxed the restrictions. The story of His leaving the House of 'Abbud and taking up <p53> residence outside the gates of the city, as we shall see later,[1] is a clear example of His total submission to the will of His enemies or those who were charged by them to guard His person.\n[1 See below, pp. 414-17.]\nAlthough the barracks was a depressing place to live in, soon the companions of Baha'u'llah, mainly through 'Abdu'l-Baha's leadership and guidance, organized their daily lives in such a way as to create the best possible conditions for the whole community. Their greatest source of joy was nearness to their Lord, and sometimes Baha'u'llah visited them in their quarters where they entertained Him with what meagre food or refreshments they could provide.\nBelievers in the Holy Land\nThere is a Tablet(1) revealed by Baha'u'llah in the barracks on the ninth day of the Festival of Ridvan.[1] It was probably revealed during Ridvan 1869, the first of the two Ridvan Festivals that He celebrated in the prison, for in it He mentions the names of several believers who had tried to enter 'Akka and been stopped by the authorities.\n[1 21 April to 2 May, in commemoration of the twelve days that Baha'u'llah spent in the Garden of Ridvan in Baghdad in 1863 when He declared His mission to a few companions.]\nIn this Tablet Baha'u'llah describes how on that day He was invited by one of the believers in the prison to honour his room with His presence and attend the celebration of that great Festival. His companions on that day were truly intoxicated with the wine of His presence. The believer who had invited Baha'u'llah entertained Him with the best food he could provide. Baha'u'llah refers to this and states that other believers had invited Him to their rooms during the Ridvan period also. Each according to his capacity had provided some food and some had nothing to entertain Him with except a cup of tea. <p54>\nIn this Tablet Baha'u'llah showers His bounties upon His companions, and prays that they may remain steadfast in His Cause and united among themselves. When the Tablet was revealed there were two Persian believers living in 'Akka itself, there were some who were trying to come in, and some who were staying at Haifa; Baha'u'llah refers to them all in this Tablet. The two in 'Akka were Muhammad Ja'far-i-Tabrizi, entitled Mansur, and Mirza Hadi entitled 'Abdu'l-Ahad. The latter was the first to arrive in 'Akka. He had been sent there by 'Abdu'l-Baha some time before Baha'u'llah's exile to that city, thus establishing a valuable contact. No one suspected him of being a Baha'i. Helped by the Persian political agent in that city he had managed to open a shop but did not try to contact Baha'u'llah and His companions in the barracks when they arrived. However, the few Baha'i prisoners who went to the market every day to purchase provisions met him and knew that he was a Baha'i. Through him, and by other means, the news of Baha'u'llah's whereabouts soon reached the believers in Persia and a few of His followers travelled to 'Akka. 'Abdu'l-Ahad very discreetly helped some of the visitors who had managed to enter the city to approach the barracks. Sometimes he even had to hide the visitors in the back of his shop. The disciples of Baha'u'llah, most of whom had walked all the way from Persia, were only able to stand in front of the barracks and watch Baha'u'llah wave His blessed hand. This was sufficient to inspire them with faith and courage and uplift them to such heights that they were ready and longing to lay down their lives in His path.\nAmong those living at Haifa was Mirza Ibrahim-i-Kashani,[1] a copper-smith by profession, whom Baha'u'llah refers to as Khalil in the forementioned Tablet of Ridvan. He was a devoted believer, on fire with the love of Baha'u'llah, and had been among the Baha'i prisoners sent from Baghdad to Mosul.[2] Accompanied by some relatives he had managed to <p55> leave Mosul and settle in Haifa. In those days, entering 'Akka was very difficult for the believers, but he managed to enter frequently by taking some of his copper implements for sale. He thus became an important channel of communication between the believers and Baha'u'llah.\n[1 See 'Abdu'l-Baha, Memorials, pp. 81-2.]\nAnother believer mentioned in the Ridvan Tablet, and one in whose heart the fire of love for Baha'u'llah burnt very brightly, was an old man, Ustad Isma'il. He was a master builder of wide experience who had worked for the government officials in Persia. When he became known as a Babi, he had to leave his work. He then went to Baghdad where he was given the honour of carrying out construction work on the house of Baha'u'llah.[1] And when the believers in that city were exiled to Mosul, he managed to travel to 'Akka. In spite of old age he walked all the way until he came and stood in front of the Most Great Prison eagerly waiting to behold the face of his Beloved from across the moat.\n[1 See vol. 1, pp. 211-12.]\nBut alas, because of his old age and the feebleness of his eyesight he failed to see the hand of Baha'u'llah waving from one of the windows of the barracks. This was a pitiful scene He broke into tears which brought tears also to the eyes of the Holy Family and a few others who were watching the sad plight of that devoted believer. Baha'u'llah is reported to have said on that occasion that soon through the power of God restrictions would be relaxed and circumstances would make it possible for the believers to attain His presence.\nOf course, not until Baha'u'llah left the barracks in 1887 was it possible for the Baha'i pilgrims to come into His presence freely. However, during the time that He was in the prison, it was officially impossible for any outsider to come in and attain His presence, but as restrictions were gradually relaxed, the officials often turned a blind eye and in some cases they actually helped some of His disciples to enter.\nUstad Isma'il eventually succeeded in entering the prison where he stayed for a short while and attained the presence of <p56> His Lord. His usual place of residence in the Holy Land was a cave on Mount Carmel. He earned his living as a peddler, carrying around a small tray on which he set out some needles, thimbles and other trifling articles for sale. He lived in poverty, but in the utmost happiness, his heart filled with the joy of nearness to His Lord.\nAs he wandered about with his shabby little tray, his heart was in communion with Baha'u'llah. Sometimes he would walk around the barracks in order to feel close to his Beloved. On one occasion Baha'u'llah was watching him from the prison window. He called His cook Husayn-i-Ashchi, who was a nephew of Ustad Isma'il, and asked him if he had ever seen the tray that his uncle carried around. When he replied that he had not, Baha'u'llah in an amusing tone told him that if he were to put on a pair of glasses he might see him in the distance carrying a few rusted needles placed on one side of the tray and a few rusted thimbles on the other! Baha'u'llah often praised him for his detachment from this world and his thankfulness to his Lord.\nOne of those whom Baha'u'llah mentions in the Tablet of Ridvan is Nabil-i-A'zam, who travelled to 'Akka but was expelled from the city. After being released from prison in Alexandria, Nabil hastened to the abode of his Beloved. Although he was disguised[1] as a man from Bukhara, he was nevertheless recognized by two of Baha'u'llah's enemies who reported him to the Government authorities and consequently he was expelled. These two men were Siyyid Muhammad-i-Isfahani, the Anti-Christ of Baha'u'llah's Revelation,[2] and Aqa Jan known as Kaj Kulah.[3] Although they regarded themselves as followers of Mirza Yahya, they had been condemned to imprisonment in 'Akka, and accompanied <p57> Baha'u'llah and His companions to the barracks. But very soon after their arrival they allied themselves with the authorities who transferred them to a room overlooking the land gate of the city. There they acted as spies and identified the followers of Baha'u'llah when they tried to enter.\n[1 For fear of being identified as followers of Baha'u'llah, most Baha'is who attempted to enter 'Akka in the early period of Baha'u'llah's banishment to that city adopted some form of disguise.]\n[3 See vol. 2, pp. 326, 397, 402.]\nAccording to a letter written by Nabil from 'Akka to the Baha'is of Darakhsh in the province of Khurasan, he made the first attempt to enter the city around the end of October 1868. He succeeded in entering and stayed for three days but could not attain the presence of Baha'u'llah before being expelled.\nHe retreated to the caves of Mount Carmel and roamed the countryside for about four months. But he could not endure separation from His Lord. The ardour of his love was increasing day by day until he found it impossible to remain away from the city of his Beloved.\nIn about the middle of February 1869 he made his second attempt to enter the city. This time he succeeded in remaining for a longer period. He met Mirza Aqa Jan and a few other believers who had come out of the barracks to purchase provisions. But in his letter Nabil mentions that at last he achieved his heart's desire of seeing Baha'u'llah on the 18th of Muharram 1286 (1 May 1869).\nSome Early Pilgrims\nThe first pilgrims to succeed in entering the presence of Baha'u'llah were Haji Shah-Muhammad-i-Manshadi, entitled Aminu'l-Bayan (Trusted of the Bayan) by Baha'u'llah, and Haji Abu'l-Hasan-i-Ardikani, entitled Amin-i-Ilahi (Trusted of God) by Baha'u'llah. Such were the services of these illustrious Trustees of Baha'u'llah that their story demands to be told in detail and will be found in Chapter 4.\nAnother eminent Baha'i who came to 'Akka but was recognized and expelled from the city was Mulla Muhammad-'Ali, surnamed Nabil-i-Qa'ini by Baha'u'llah.[1] He had known <p58> Baha'u'llah in Tihran some years before the Bab declared His mission. At that time he had recognized the superhuman qualities of Baha'u'llah and become an ardent admirer of His person. When Nabil-i-Akbar returned from 'Iraq to his native town of Qa'in, he began to teach the Cause of the Bab openly to the public. As soon as Mulla Muhammad-'Ali heard the news of the Bab and Baha'u'llah, he became an ardent believer, saying that he had attained the presence of Baha'u'llah in Tihran and had been deeply attracted to Him then.\n[1 Not to be confused with Aqa Muhammad-i-Qa'ini, entitled Nabil-i-Akbar, whose life story may be found in vol. 1, pp 91-5. Both men were from Qa'in in the province of Khurasan.]\nThe next time he saw the face of His Lord was in the prison of 'Akka. At first he was driven out of the city. But he made other attempts and eventually plans were made for him to enter the barracks. This he did successfully and was ushered into the presence of Baha'u'llah. The glory and majesty emanating from His person so overwhelmed Nabil-i-Qa'ini that as soon as his eyes beheld Him he fainted and fell upon the ground.\nThis great man, who had lived many years of his life in luxury and honour and had been held in high esteem by the people of his native town, was now living in such poverty that like Ustad Isma'il he too had to sell needles and thimbles as a peddler to the people of Nazareth. He earned his living in this way for about two years, selling to the women of Nazareth needles at the rate of three for an egg! During this time he succeeded in converting a number of her Christian citizens to the Faith.\nNabil-i-Qa'ini was a shining example of faith and detachment; he will be always remembered as one who had recognized Baha'u'llah's powers prior to the Declaration of the Bab. He passed away in 'Akka.\nA devoted follower of Baha'u'llah who found his way into the prison in an extraordinary fashion in the early days of Baha'u'llah's incarceration in the barracks was a certain <p59> 'Abdu'r-Rahim, a native of Bushru'iyyih, the birthplace of Mulla Husayn, the first to believe in the Bab. His original name was Ja'far, but when he attained the presence of Baha'u'llah he was given the name Rahim (Compassionate). Before his conversion to the Faith, 'Abdu'r-Rahim had been a fanatical Muslim. Having noticed the growth of the Faith, he once sought guidance from a local clergyman as to his attitude towards the Baha'is. 'To fight them', the clergyman said, 'is as meritorious as taking part in the Jihad (holy war), to kill them is praiseworthy in the sight of God, and to be killed is a privilege which bestows upon the individual Muslim the reward of martyrdom and entrance into the highest paradise.'\nThese words provoked in 'Abdu'r-Rahim a strong urge to kill some Baha'is. Armed with a weapon, he one day confronted an old believer by the name of Haji Baba, and told him in no uncertain terms that he had come to take his life because he had strayed from the path of truth and had embraced the Faith of the Baha'is.\nFaced with the threat of death, Haji Baba displayed unruffled calm and spoke with tenderness such words that the heart of 'Abdu'r-Rahim was touched. Soon his mood changed. Instead of being an enemy intent upon killing, he now wanted to investigate the truth.\nHaji Baba conducted 'Abdu'r-Rahim to the home of the sister of Mulla Husayn where the friends often held their meetings for teaching the Cause. That meeting with 'Abdu'r-Rahim lasted one day and one night, during which time he was most assiduously involved in discussion. At the end of that marathon meeting he recognized the truth of the Cause and became filled with such a new spirit of faith and enthusiasm that he could not rest in his native town any longer. Knowing that the Supreme Manifestation of God was on this earth he could not resist the urge to go and see Him face to face. So he set off on the long journey to attain His presence.\nFor six months 'Abdu'r-Rahim travelled on foot until he reached the abode of his Beloved--the prison city of 'Akka. He <p60> arrived in the early days of Baha'u'llah's incarceration in the barracks when no visitor suspected of being a Baha'i was permitted even to approach the vicinity of the prison. His arrival coincided with the period when Nabil-i-A'zam was attempting in vain to get a glimpse of his Lord. Nabil poured out his heart to 'Abdu'r-Rahim and lamented over his own inability to achieve his purpose. But 'Abdu'r-Rahim, undismayed, proceeded to attempt to circumambulate the prison.\nBefore undertaking such a holy mission, he decided that he must wash his clothes which were unclean, as they had been worn throughout the journey. He washed them in the sea and waited until they were dry. When he put them on, however, he looked very odd and shabby as the clothes had shrunk and were torn.\nWith the utmost devotion and a heart overflowing with the love of Baha'u'llah, 'Abdu'r-Rahim approached the prison and began to circumambulate it. Then to his surprise he noticed that a hand from a window of the prison was beckoning him to come inside. He knew it was the hand of Baha'u'llah summoning him to His presence. He rushed to the gate of the prison which was guarded by soldiers. But the soldiers seemed to him to be motionless and without life; they appeared not to see him. They did not even move an eyelid as he went through the gate.\nSoon 'Abdu'r-Rahim found himself in the presence of His Lord, overwhelmed by emotion and carried away into the world of the Spirit, communing with the One who was the object of his adoration and love. Baha'u'llah told him that through the hands of power and might He had temporarily blinded the eyes of the guards so that he might attain His presence as a bounty on His part.\nIt is not clear how many days 'Abdu'r-Rahim remained in the prison. However, Baha'u'llah revealed a Tablet for him while he was there. In that Tablet He confirms that He had closed the eyes of the guards so that 'Abdu'r-Rahim could enter His presence and witness the glory of His countenance.He calls him by the new name Rahim (Compassionate), showers His blessings upon him, and urges him to recount the experience of his pilgrimage to the friends on his return home.\nTHE BARRACKS FROM BEYOND THE MOAT\nTrustee of Baha'u'llah and one of His Apostles <p61>\nBefore leaving, Baha'u'llah entrusted 'Abdu'r-Rahim with Tablets to be delivered to some believers in Persia. While in Baghdad on his way to Persia, the guards saw him one day in the bazaar and became suspicious. They followed him, intending to arrest him. As soon as 'Abdu'r-Rahim realized this, he took the parcel containing the Tablets of Baha'u'llah out of his pocket and as he was walking along threw it into the shop nearest to him. He did this so quickly that the guards did not see it. He took this action because he knew that if the guards had discovered the Tablets of Baha'u'llah, not only would they have destroyed or confiscated them, but his own life would have been endangered also.\nAs he threw the parcel into the unknown shop, he put his whole trust in Baha'u'llah, turned to Him in prayer and begged Him to protect these Tablets through His all-embracing power. This is reminiscent of the story of the mother of Moses who placed her babe, as it lay in a box, on the river, trusting that God would take care of it and deliver it into the right hands.\nThe guards arrested 'Abdu'r-Rahim and took him into custody. After some investigations into his identity, the authorities were satisfied that he was a man of God and a harmless person. They released him and gave him a small sum of money in compensation. As he looked at the money placed in the palm of his hand, 'Abdu'r-Rahim could not help complaining to Baha'u'llah in his heart saying: 'You took away from me the most precious of all the things in the world--the Tablets--and gave me instead a few coins!' He then returned to the bazaar with much trepidation to see what had happened to the parcel.\nAt first he strolled up and down the bazaar several times and occasionally stood near the shop and looked inside, but nothing happened. Eventually, toward the end of the day, he <p62> went near the shop again. This time there were no customers there and he saw the shopkeeper beckoning him in. He went inside. To his great surprise the shopkeeper came forward, warmly embraced him, welcomed him with the Baha'i greeting 'Allah'u'Abha!' and handed him the parcel. He happened to be one of the few Baha'is living in Baghdad. The two men marvelled at the power of God and regarded this incident as a miracle. For there were hundreds of shops in the bazaar, but on that fateful day and at the moment when the guards were approaching him, 'Abdu'r-Rahim, a complete stranger, happened to be passing in front of the only shop which was owned by a Baha'i.\nThe joy and gladness of 'Abdu'r-Rahim in finding the Tablets knew no bounds. He stayed a few days in the house of the Baha'i friend, the shopkeeper. Through him he met a few believers in Baghdad, and then departed for Persia. He visited several towns and delivered the Tablets of Baha'u'llah to their owners. To each of the believers he recounted the stories of his pilgrimage and spoke of Baha'u'llah, of His power and majesty and of the unfailing confirmations which He had bestowed upon him throughout the journey. When 'Abdu'r-Rahim arrived in his native town he was like a ball of fire ignited by the hand of Baha'u'llah. The radiance of his face and the force of his utterance were evident to all. He began to teach the Faith fearlessly after his return from 'Akka, but this action provoked the wrath of the clergy and the fanatic populace who rose up against him and forced him out of his native town of Bushru'iyyih. He took residence in another town, Faran.[1]\n[1 A new name given by Baha'u'llah to the town of Tun in Khurasan.]\nSome years later Baha'u'llah conferred a great honour upon Mulla Sadiq-i-Khurasani, entitled Ismullah'u'l-Asdaq (The name of God, the Most Truthful),[1] one of the most outstanding followers of the Bab and Baha'u'llah, by inviting him to travel <p63> to 'Akka and attain His presence. But since he was very old, Baha'u'llah directed that on his journey to 'Akka Ismullah'u'l-Asdaq be accompanied by a trustworthy man. The Baha'is of Mashhad could not agree among themselves who that person ought to be. Therefore they drew lots and 'Abdu'r-Rahim's name came up. In this way he was given the privilege of attaining the presence of Baha'u'llah for the second time. And when he arrived in 'Akka Baha'u'llah confirmed that by 'a trustworthy man' he had actually meant 'Abdu'r-Rahim.\n[1 See 'Abdu'l-Baha, Memorials, pp. 5-8; also Taherzadeh, vol. 1, pp. 92-3; and below, pp. 252ff.]\nIn this life we observe that each individual can progress to the extent of his capacity. The bounties of God reach all created things as the rays of the sun reach every object. But an unpolished rock cannot reflect that light as a mirror could. Similarly man must acquire a greater spiritual capacity by cleansing his heart in order to receive a greater portion of the bounties of God. In a Tablet to Hadiy-i-Qazvini',[1] Baha'u'llah reveals this basic principle in God's creation:\n[1 One of the Letters of the Living; see vol. 2, pp. 144-5.]\nFrom the exalted source, and out of the essence of His\nfavour and bounty He hath entrusted every created thing\nwith a sign of His knowledge, so that none of His creatures\nmay be deprived of its share in expressing, each according to\nits capacity and rank, this knowledge. This sign is the mirror\nof His beauty in the world of creation. The greater the effort\nexerted for the refinement of this sublime and noble mirror,\nthe more faithfully will it be made to reflect the glory of the\nnames and attributes of God, and reveal the wonders of His\nsigns and knowledge. Every created thing will be enabled\n(so great is this reflecting power) to reveal the potentialities\nof its pre-ordained station, will recognize its capacity and\nlimitations, and will testify to the truth that 'He verily is\nGod, there is none other God besides Him'...\nThere can be no doubt whatever that, in consequence of\nthe efforts which every man may consciously exert and as a <p64>\nresult of the exertion of his own spiritual faculties, this\nmirror can be so cleansed from the dross of earthly\ndefilements and purged from satanic fancies as to be able to\ndraw nigh unto the meads of eternal holiness and attain the\ncourts of everlasting fellowship.(2)\nThere are many Tablets of Baha'u'llah and 'Abdu'l-Baha in which They state that man's attainments in life depend on his spiritual capacity and perceptiveness. 'Abdu'l-Baha in one of His talks in 'Akka is reported to have said:\nPilgrimage should be carried out in a state of utter\nhumbleness and devotion. Otherwise it is not true\npilgrimage, it is a form of sight-seeing...\nMany people used to come and attain the presence of\nBaha'u'llah. They saw His virtuous character, His blessed\nsmile, His magnetic attraction and His infinite bounties, yet\nthey remained unaffected by Him. Some others were\ninstantly transformed by attaining His presence.\nJamal-i-Burujirdi[1] attained the presence of Baha'u'llah in\nAdrianople. With him were two men from Burujird. One of\nthem was called Mirza 'Abdu'r-Rahim.[2] He was so influenced\nby the magnetic person of Baha'u'llah that he was\ncompletely transformed. The Blessed Beauty stated that this\nman within ten minutes took one step from this mortal\nworld and placed it in the realms of eternity.\n[2 Not the believer by the same name whose story is recounted above, pp. 58-63.]\nIt is therefore necessary to acquire spiritual receptiveness.\nA deaf ear will not enjoy the melody of a beautiful song, and\na diseased nostril will be insensible to the perfume of the\nrose. The sun shines, the breeze is wafted, and the rain falls,\nbut where the land is a salt marsh nothing grows but weeds.\nWhen Baha'u'llah was in Baghdad, some of the chiefs of\nthe tribe of Jaf who had become His admirers in the days of\nSulaymaniyyih had come to Baghdad by order of the\nGovernor. While there, they would come to the house of\nBaha'u'llah, get permission and then attain His presence in <p65>\nthe utmost humility and courtesy. Among them was a Kurd\nwho was truly attracted to the Blessed Beauty. He said to\nme that he wished to see Shaykh Muhammad (i.e.\nBaha'u'llah) once more, and to gaze upon His luminous\nCountenance. I realized that he was enchanted by\nBaha'u'llah. Not wanting to keep him waiting, I sent him\nstraight into His blessed room. Baha'u'llah received him\nwith loving-kindness and permitted him to sit alongside the\nchiefs of the tribe. Should, however, all the bounties of God\ndescend upon a person who has no perceptiveness and\ncapacity, there will be no result whatsoever. In the days of\nBaghdad there was a man by the name Muhammad-Rida\nwho used to attain the presence of Baha'u'llah every day in\nthe morning and in the evening... When the days of\nBaghdad came to an end he said proudly: 'I associated with\nthese people for ten years and they could not influence me!'(3)\nCitizens of 'Akka\nAn example of those who had spiritual perceptiveness to recognize the station of Baha'u'llah without being taught or approached by the Baha'is was Shaykh Mahmud-i-'Arrabi, a native of 'Akka. Shaykh Mahmud was one of the religious leaders of 'Akka when Baha'u'llah was exiled to that city. He was born into a family of devout Muslims. When he was about ten years of age, an old Shaykh, a religious man revered by Mahmud's father, had a vision of the coming of the Person of the 'Promised One' to 'Akka. He intimated this to Mahmud in the presence of his father and told him that his father and himself were old men and would not live to see that day. But he assured Mahmud that he would then be a grown-up person and bade him watch out for the coming of the Lord. He even indicated to Mahmud that He would speak in the Persian tongue and reside in an upper room at the top of a long flight of stairs.\nSome years passed and the young boy grew up into a strong man, learned and pious, well respected by the community and <p66> known as Shaykh Mahmud. But he seldom thought of the vision, and when Baha'u'llah came to 'Akka it never occurred to him that He might be the One foretold by the old Shaykh. On the contrary, he deeply resented the action of the Government in sending Baha'u'llah, whom the authorities had described as an evil man and the 'God of the Persians', to the city of 'Akka. For some time he was in a state of agitation, wanting to do something to rid the city of such a person. It must be remembered that soon after the imprisonment of Baha'u'llah in the barracks, the prison authorities relaxed some of the restrictions which had at first been imposed and strictly adhered to. For instance, they agreed to allow a small party of Baha'i prisoners to visit the city daily for shopping. At times 'Abdu'l-Baha went out with them and this is how the people of 'Akka came into contact with His magnetic personality and began to unbend towards the company of exiles.\nShaykh Mahmud was very perturbed one day to see 'Abdu'l-Baha in the Mosque. He is reported to have grabbed 'Abdu'l-Baha by the hand and exclaimed, 'Are you the son of God?' The Master with His characteristic charm pointed out that it was he who was saying it, and not 'Abdu'l-Baha. He then reminded him of the injunction of Islam as stated in one of the Traditions: 'Be charitable toward the guest even though he be an infidel.'\nThe impact of these words and the loving personality of the Master affected Shaykh Mahmud and he changed his attitude of aggressiveness towards Him. But being a religious leader, he could not remain indifferent to the presence of the group of exiles whom he considered ungodly. He therefore decided to put an end to all this by himself. One day he hid a weapon under his cloak and went straight to the barracks with the intention of assassinating Baha'u'llah. He informed the guards at the prison gate that he wished to see Baha'u'llah. Since he was an influential personality in 'Akka, the guards complied with his request and went to inform Baha'u'llah of the identity of the visitor. 'Tell him', Baha'u'llah is reported to have said, <p67> 'to cast away the weapon and then he may come in.'[1] On hearing this Shaykh Mahmud was astounded, for he was sure that no one had seen the weapon under his cloak. In a state of utter confusion he returned home, but his agitated mind could not be at rest. He continued in this state for some time until he decided to go to the barracks again, but without any weapons this time. Being a strong man he knew he could take Baha'u'llah's life by the mere strength of his hands.\n[1 These are not the exact words of Baha'u'llah, but convey the message he is reported to have given.]\nSo he went again to the prison gate and made the same request to visit Baha'u'llah. On being informed of Shaykh Mahmud's desire to meet Him, Baha'u'llah is reported to have said: 'Tell him to purify his heart first and then he may come in.'- Perplexed and confused at these utterances, Shaykh Mahmud could not bring himself to visit Baha'u'llah that day. Later he had a dream in which his father and the old Shaykh appeared to him and reminded him of their vision regarding the coming of the Lord. After this dream Shaykh Mahmud went to the barracks again and attained the presence of 'Abdu'l-Baha. The words of the Master penetrated his heart and he was ushered into the presence of Baha'u'llah. The majesty and glory of His countenance overwhelmed the Shaykh and he witnessed the fulfilment of the prophecy of the coming of the Lord to 'Akka. He prostrated himself at His feet and became an ardent believer.\nAfter recognizing the station of Baha'u'llah, he arose to serve Him and His Cause. He played a significant part in assisting the believers to enter the city and then harbouring them until they were able to attain the presence of Baha'u'llah. On some occasions he even ordered ropes to be lowered so that the Baha'i visitors might be pulled up the walls which surrounded the city. Another method he sometimes employed was to leave the city and return at night accompanied by one of the believers who would be posing as a servant carrying a <p68> lantern in front of his master.[1] After the believer had attained the presence of Baha'u'llah, Shaykh Mahmud would enable him to leave the city in the same manner that he had entered it. Shaykh Mahmud was loved by the Master and served the Cause with great devotion till the end of his life. He made a compilation of the Islamic traditions related to 'Akka and its glorious future.\n[1 In the old days there was no public lighting and therefore it was necessary to carry a lantern at night. Important people always had servants who performed this service for them.]\nWell known among those whom Shaykh Mahmud assisted to enter 'Akka was Mirza Hasan-i-Mazindarani, who was brought into the city by the sea gate. He stayed at first in the Shaykh's house and later managed to enter the barracks where he stayed for about six months before returning to Persia. Mirza Hasan was a cousin of Baha'u'llah and a devoted believer. His father, Mulla Zaynu'l-'Abidin, was Baha'u'llah's paternal uncle. He was among Baha'u'llah's kinsmen who had been converted to the Babi Faith by Baha'u'llah Himself in the early days of the ministry of the Bab. He had recognized the station of Baha'u'llah and was very devoted to Him. It was this uncle who accompanied Baha'u'llah to Amul[1] and when He was to be bastinadoed, threw himself on the feet of Baha'u'llah as a shield. As a result he was beaten so much that he fainted.\n[1 See Nabil-i-A'zam, The Dawn-Breakers.]\nMirza Hasan, who was much loved by Baha'u'llah and 'Abdu'l-Baha, made several trips to 'Akka and each time he carried back many Tablets for the believers living in the northern cities of Persia. We have already described in a previous volume the story of seventy Tablets that he was carrying on the last of these journeys and the circumstances which led to their disappearance.[1]\n[1 See vol. 1, p. 50.]\nAnother person, a resident of 'Akka who independently recognized the station of Baha'u'llah was Ahmad-i-Jarrah, an officer in the Turkish Army. He witnessed the majesty of <p69> Baha'u'llah in the barracks, but it was some years later that his heart was touched, when Baha'u'llah (Who was then residing in the house of 'Abbud) was taken to the Governor's house and kept in custody for about three days. As we shall see later,[1] this humiliating treatment resulted from the murder of three Azalis in 'Akka. Ahmad-i-Jarrah was one of the officers present in the case and it was then that the majesty and glory of Baha'u'llah made a deep impression upon his soul. The mighty and powerful words He uttered on that occasion enabled Jarrah to realize that the Prisoner in his custody was not an ordinary man but One endowed with divine authority. After reading some of the Writings and becoming fully conscious of the station of Baha'u'llah, he entered the rank of the believers.\n[1 See p. 234.]\nAmin Effendi, a brother of Jarrah and the head of the municipality of 'Akka, also recognized the truth of the Faith and became a believer. An interesting incident happened which confirmed their faith. One day, Amin and Ahmad sought permission to attain the presence of Baha'u'llah. Permission was granted and they came. They wanted particularly to complain and seek advice about a certain superior officer by the name of Aqasi who was a bitter enemy of theirs. Before they were able to utter a word, Baha'u'llah turned to them and said, 'Praise be to God who has rescued you from the evil doings of Aqasi!'[1] The two brothers were surprised to hear this. Only two days later, the officer was dismissed by the order of the Sultan. A third brother of Ahmad was Khalid. He was a physician, attained the presence of Baha'u'llah, and was attracted to Him and to His Cause. He showed much love to the believers and attended them when they were sick.\n[1 These are not the exact words of Baha'u'llah, but convey the message he\nis reported to have given.]\nThere were other inhabitants of 'Akka who either embraced the Faith or became admirers of Baha'u'llah and His supporters. Husayn-i-Ashchi has recounted the story of some <p70> of these men in his memoirs. The following is a summary of his reminiscences:\nAfter his recognition of the station of Baha'u'llah, Shaykh\nMahmud went to see a certain Salih Effendi with whom he\nwas very friendly. He reminded him that when they were\nyoung, they had both been present at a meeting when the\nold Shaykh, the religious leader of the father of Shaykh\nMahmud, had prophesied the coming of the Lord to 'Akka,\nand had stated that they should both seek Him. Shaykh\nMahmud conveyed to his friend the glad tidings that the\nprophecy of the Shaykh had been fulfilled and that he had\nbeen led to the Lord in 'Akka and had attained His presence.\nHe thus invited his friend to follow his example.\nBut Salih Effendi, although he acknowledged the validity\nof the station of Baha'u'llah, did not embrace the Faith\nbecause he maintained that he lived a life which was not\nworthy of the exalted station of Baha'u'llah, and his deeds\nwere not in conformity with His teachings. But he always\nexpressed his love for the believers and he did not harm the\nFaith in any way. Some years later he became ill with\ntuberculosis, which was incurable in those days, and\n'Abdu'l-Baha provided regular medical help for him till the\nend of his life.\nAnother person of note was Shaykh 'Aliy-i-Mlri, the\nMufti of 'Akka. He was a somewhat fanatical man. But later\nhe changed as a result of his association with 'Abdu'l-Baha.\nFor he discovered that his own knowledge and learning was\nas a drop when compared with the ocean of 'Abdu'l-Baha's\ninnate knowledge. He therefore showed signs of humility\nand gradually became friendly.\nOne day he conveyed to 'Abdu'l-Baha his desire to meet\nBaha'u'llah as he had some questions and wished to be\nenlightened. But in those days Baha'u'llah did not grant\ninterviews to people, mainly because He did not wish to act\nagainst the orders of the Government. However, because of\n'Abdu'l-Baha's pleading, Baha'u'llah gave permission and\nthe Mufti of 'Akka attained His presence in the barracks. He\nwas shown to his seat while 'Abdu'l-Baha stood by the <p71>\ndoor. The kitchen in which I was working happened to be\nopposite the room of Baha'u'llah. I could see and hear Him.\nThe Mufti asked some questions and then the Tongue of\nGrandeur began to speak. At one stage when the utterances\nof Baha'u'llah were still continuing, the Mufti was moved to\nsay something. 'Abdu'l-Baha gave him an emphatic and\ncommanding signal with his hand that he should not\ninterrupt the words of Baha'u'llah. He complied but his\npride was hurt.\nWhen the interview was over he left, 'Abdu'l-Baha\naccompanying him to the prison gate, but he was annoyed\nbecause of the incident, for he was well respected by the\ninhabitants of the town and as he walked in the bazaars\npeople showed their respect to him and kissed his hands. At\nthat stage he was not aware of the truth of the Cause and the\ngreatness of its Author, therefore he was displeased with the\nway 'Abdu'l-Baha had bidden him be silent. But it did not\ntake very long before he realized that in the presence of\n'Abdu'l-Baha he was as utter nothingness. He used to visit\nthe Master and partake of His knowledge and wisdom. He\ntherefore changed his attitude. In the streets and bazaars,\nwhenever he accompanied 'Abdu'l-Baha he always walked a\nfew steps behind Him and was never found to be walking in\nfront.[1] When Baha'u'llah was moved out of the barracks he\nused to come regularly to the outer apartment of the\nhouse--a room set aside for visitors--and sit at the feet of\nthe Master. He diligently carried out every service that He\nreferred to him.\n[1 In the East it is considered disrespectful to walk in front of an eminent person when accompanying him.]\nAs time went on the devotion of the Mufti of 'Akka\ntowards Baha'u'llah and 'Abdu'l-Baha increased. He\nbecame so attracted that once he intimated to 'Abdu'l-Baha\nthat every time he stood up to pray, the majestic figure of\nBaha'u'llah appeared before him. 'Abdu'l-Baha always\nshowered his favours upon the Mufti, as indeed on other\nprominent people in the land. It is true to say that a time\ncame when the Government of 'Akka used to revolve\naround the person of 'Abdu'l-Baha. Every one of the <p72>\nofficials was longing to receive His blessings and favours.\nAnd because of His qualities and prestige the condition of\nthe believers changed from abasement into honour.\nAnother person from 'Akka who became a believer was\n'Uthman Effendi. When the exiles were residing in the\nbarracks, he had a grocery shop in town. He used to supply\nBaha'u'llah's daily provisions and was paid on a monthly\nbasis. He was attracted to the Cause by the good deeds and\nhonest dealings of the believers. He embraced the Faith and\nattained the presence of Baha'u'llah who promised him that\nhe would become a wealthy and influential man. Soon\n'Uthman Effendi acquired considerable wealth. He owned\nhalf the village of Kasra which is one of the Druze villages.\nHe also became a man of considerable influence well\nrespected in government circles in 'Akka.(4) <p73>\nTrustees of Baha'u'llah\nAmong all those who attained the presence of Baha'u'llah while He was in the barracks, the first two were Haji Shah-Muhammad-i-Manshadi, entitled Aminu'l-Bayan (Trusted of the Bayan), and Haji Abu'l-Hasan-i-Ardikani, entitled Amin-i-Ilahi (Trusted of God). The former was the first trustee[1] of Baha'u'llah, and the latter was appointed to the same position after the death of Haji Shah-Muhammad in 1298 AH (AD 1881). Both men were from the province of Yazd.\n[1 One who acted on behalf of Baha'u'llah on matters related to Huquq'u'llah (the Right of God), which is prescribed in the Kitab-i-Aqdas. It is one of the ordinances of Baha'u'llah not yet implemented in the West and involves those whose possessions reach a certain value. For more information see Synopsis, p. 60.]\nIn the early days of the Faith Haji Shah-Muhammad embraced the Cause and became an ardent believer. He first attained the presence of Baha'u'llah in Baghdad. As a result of this he became a new creation on fire with the love of Baha'u'llah, a love that sustained him throughout his life and enabled him to render notable services to His Cause.\nHe owned some farm land in his native village of Manshad, but it did not earn him enough to live on, so he engaged in cattle dealing. He used to buy cattle in the province of Fars and sell them in Yazd. But after embracing the Faith he gave up this work. He gave a portion of his estate to each of his four daughters, sold the rest, and faithful to the specific injunction of the Bab[1] to his followers to offer priceless gifts in their possession to 'Him Whom God shall make manifest', he <p74> presented the proceeds of the sale to Baha'u'llah whom he had recognized as 'Him Whom God shall make manifest'.[2]\n[1 Baha'u'llah abrogated this injunction and absolved the believers from the obligation.]\n[2 For more information about 'Him Whom God shall make manifest' see vol. 1, ch. 18.]\nThis action, prompted by the purity of his heart and the intensity of his devotion for the Faith, evoked the good pleasure of Baha'u'llah, who, while accepting the gift, handed it back to him, conferred upon him the title 'Amin' (Trusted One), and appointed him as His Trustee. In this way, it was made possible for the believers to fulfil their spiritual obligation of Huquq'u'llah through him.\nHaji Shah-Muhammad used to travel frequently from Persia to attain the presence of Baha'u'llah and receive His instructions. He would then set out to carry them out on his return.\nAs the years went by he discovered in Haji Abu'l-Hasan-i-Ardikani (Amin-i-Ilahi) a zealous and devoted co-worker. So, as he became older, he took Haji Abu'l-Hasan with him on his journeys as an assistant.\nIt was soon after Baha'u'llah's arrival in the Most Great Prison, around the same time that Nabil-i-A'zam was denied admittance to 'Akka by the authorities, that Haji Shah-Muhammad, accompanied by Haji Abu'l-Hasan, entered the city. The two had bought a few camels on the way and disguised themselves as Arabs seeking to sell their merchandise which was carried on the camels. This was a common scene in those days. They were not suspected of being followers of Baha'u'llah and were admitted.\nThey succeeded in sending a message to Baha'u'llah informing Him of their arrival and expressing their eagerness to attain His presence. Baha'u'llah allowed them to see Him in the public bath,[1] but they were advised to show no sign of <p75> recognition. On the appointed day the two men entered the public bath. But no sooner did Haji Abu'l-Hasan behold the majestic person of Baha'u'llah than he was seized by such emotion that his body shook, and he stumbled and fell to the ground. The floor being made of stones, he injured his head very badly and had to be carried out with blood pouring on his face and body.\n[1 As there were no baths in houses in those days, practically everyone had to go to a public bath. These were similar to what is known in the west as Turkish baths--warm with a steamy atmosphere. People would be partly-clad in a cotton towel, as nudity was considered immoral. People often spent hours washing and relaxing in public baths. Certain days of the week were allocated to men and certain days to women. The gathering of people in one place created a social atmosphere, and it was possible to meet one's friends and acquaintances there.]\nThe two Amins remained in 'Akka for some time. Haji Shah-Muhammad was there when Aqa Buzurg, entitled Badi',[1] came to 'Akka and as we shall see later, the two met on Mount Carmel as directed by Baha'u'llah.\n[1 See pp. 182-3 below.]\nHaji Shah-Muhammad rendered notable services to the Faith as the Trustee of Baha'u'llah. One of the major missions with which Baha'u'llah entrusted him was the transfer of the casket containing the remains of the Bab when its whereabouts in Persia, for several years unknown to the mass of the believers, became public knowledge. The dangers in such a situation were apparent, for the enemies of the Faith, once informed of the casket's location, could have attacked and destroyed it. This transfer of the remains of the Bab from place to place in Persia, covering a period of no less than fifty lunar years, and finally laying them to rest on Mount Carmel is an eventful and moving story.[1]\n[1 See Appendix I.]\nIn the year AH 1298 (AD 1881) Haji Shah-Muhammad was caught up in a massacre by the Kurds of the people of Miyanduab and fatally wounded. His assistant Haji Abu'l-Hasan, who was accompanying him as usual, was shot in the leg but managed to escape. It was after this event that Baha'u'llah appointed Haji Abu'l-Hasan as His Trustee, and conferred on him the title 'Amin' (Trusted One), in place of Haji Shah-Muhammad, Aminu'l-Bayan. <p76> Of Haji Shah-Muhammad we have the following eulogy from the pen of 'Abdu'l-Baha:\nAmin, that is, Shah-Muhammad, was honoured with the\ntitle of the Trusted One, and bounties were showered upon\nhim. Full of eagerness and love, taking with him Tablets\nfrom Baha'u'llah, he hastened back to Persia, where, at all\ntimes worthy of trust, he laboured for the Cause. His\nservices were outstanding, and he was a consolation to the\nbelievers' hearts. There was none to compare with him for\nenergy, enthusiasm and zeal, and no man's services could\nequal his. He was a haven amidst the people, known\neverywhere for devotion to the Holy Threshold, widely\nacclaimed by the friends.(1)\nWe have already stated that Haji Shah-Muhammad and Haji Abu'l-Hasan were the first believers to succeed in entering the city of 'Akka and attain the presence of Baha'u'llah in the public bath in the early days of His confinement in the Most Great Prison. Haji Abu'l-Hasan--or Haji Amin, as he generally became known--is one of the Apostles of Baha'u'llah whose life of self-sacrifice and utter dedication to the Cause has left a shining example for posterity to follow. In his youth he was a staunch Muslim. His parents arranged his marriage to the daughter of a merchant in his native town of Ardikan, Yazd. The merchant, who had six sons and one daughter, insisted that Haji Amin, instead of living in the house of his father as was the custom, should live in the bride's home so that she would not live away from her parents. Haji Amin's parents agreed to this request and he took up residence in the home of his father-in-law.\nAs a result of living in that house, Haji Amin soon discovered that his brothers-in-law were all Babis. His wife, like himself, was a devoted Muslim and was unaware of her brothers' faith. After lengthy discussions at gatherings of the Babis, Haji Amin became aware of the truth of the Cause of the Bab and embraced His Faith. He then taught his wife who also became a believer. <p77>\nSome time later he recognized the station of Baha'u'llah and this brought about a mighty transformation in his life, a life totally and completely dedicated to Baha'u'llah. So thorough was this transformation of spirit that it is very hard, if not impossible, to attempt to fathom the depth of his dedication to his Lord, or describe in words an adequate appreciation of his outstanding and selfless services to the Cause he loved so much.\nNo doubt his first attaining the presence of Baha'u'llah in the public bath and in such dramatic circumstances as described earlier must have left an abiding impression on his soul and released the necessary forces for the making of one of the greatest spiritual giants of this Faith. His devotion to Baha'u'llah knew no bounds and because of this he was truly detached from this world. The flame of love for Baha'u'llah that burnt so brightly in his heart illumined the souls of the believers and burnt away the veils of blindness from the faces of the enemies.\nHe travelled extensively throughout Persia, went to the homes of almost every Baha'i and poured out so much love and encouragement upon them that they all cherished his companionship. In their homes he was warmly accepted as a true father or brother, one who genuinely cared for the wellbeing and spiritual development of each. Knowing that he was an intimate and loving friend of everyone, parents (who in those days were in the habit of arranging marriages) often turned to him to suggest suitable partners for their sons and daughters.\nDetachment from worldly things and utter self-sacrifice in the service of Baha'u'llah were among Haji Amin's greatest qualities. Ever since he arose to serve the Cause as the assistant and confidant of Haji Shah-Mu4ammad, and later as the Trustee himself, Haji Amin gave everything he had to the Cause. He kept not a penny for himself; he also made every possible effort to convey to the believers, by word and by deed, that man's most meritorious achievement in life is to <p78> offer up everything he has--his time, his labours, his substance and even his life--in the path of God. The Holy Writings fully confirm that there can be no loftier concept of life than this.\nGod has created two opposing forces within man, the animal and the spiritual. The animal nature inclines him to the material world; self and passion and attachment to earthly things are the characteristics of the animal nature. To subdue these powerful forces, the individual has to develop and strengthen his spiritual qualities so that they can dominate his animal inclinations. Within the human being there is a constant battle between these two forces. If it is left to nature, it is inevitable that the material side will dominate.\nThis is because the animal characteristics are part of his nature and without any effort on his part will drive him towards the material world. When this happens, man may behave in a manner even worse than an animal.\nBut the development of spiritual qualities is not controlled by nature. Although the soul aspires to spiritual things, the acquiring of spiritual qualities depends upon effort. It is in this domain that man has been given free will. This is very similar to a bird which in flight must use its wings to counteract the force of gravity. If it fails to do this, it will be pulled down instantly by this force.\nThe subduing of the animal nature through the ascendancy of the spiritual powers latent within man is the essence of detachment spoken of by Baha'u'llah in many of His Tablets. We have already discussed this theme in previous volumes and explained that by detachment is not meant poverty or the living of the life of a mendicant or an ascetic. To become careless of one's personal interests or the affairs of the world is contrary to the teachings of Baha'u'llah. Indeed, one may possess the things of this world and its riches and yet remain detached.[1]\n[1 For further information on this point see vols. 1 and 2, 'Detachment'.]\nTo the extent that man can dominate his lower nature will he <p79> become detached from this world. Not only has he to exert himself to acquire spiritual qualities, but also in subduing his self with all its manifold aspects, he must be prepared to go through pain and suffering and tests. This is only natural, for there is always a reaction when a force is suppressed. Man's material inclinations, when curbed by the dictates of his spiritual being, will undergo some form of deprivation and sacrifice. For instance, one may sacrifice his comfort and material means in order to help the poor and the needy. In so doing, one is rewarded spiritually, but has to give up something of material value instead.\nThis sacrifice, if carried out in the path of God and for His sake, is most meritorious. It enables the soul to become detached from the material world, and thus brings it closer to God. This is one of the fruits of sacrifice.\nIt was the realization of this important principle which led Haji Amin to offer up everything he had to the Cause of God. Through the influence of the Word of God revealed by Baha'u'llah and the example set by Haji Amin, the believers willingly poured out their substance for the promotion of the Cause. Being the Trustee of Baha'u'llah, he was the recipient of the friends' contributions. Although he exhorted the friends generally to sacrifice, he never solicited their giving to the funds, for such soliciting is forbidden in the Faith.\nTo give to the Baha'i Fund is an act of devotion to God. It is voluntary and motivated by the desire on the part of the individual to sacrifice something of this material world and spend it in the path of God.\nMan is born naked and when dead he is also naked. He brings nothing with him to this world, and when he departs he cannot take anything physical with him to the next. But whatever he has given to the Cause of God while on this earth, his time, his labours, his resources, as well as his services to his fellow human beings, these he can take with him to the spiritual realms. This is one way of transforming something which belongs to the world of matter into the spiritual worlds of God. <p80>\nThe motive for contribution by the believers to the Huquq'u'llah or the Baha'i Funds, whether in the days of Baha'u'llah or in any other time, has been and always will be their love for Baha'u'llah and His Cause. It is the love of the individual for Him that endows the offering, no matter how small, with a celestial potency through which the Cause of God can be propelled forward. This is why the privilege of giving to the Baha'i Fund is exclusively vouchsafed to the believers. For the promotion of the Cause of God, whether through teaching or contributing to the Baha'i Funds, is dependent upon devotion to Baha'u'llah and the performance of stainless deeds by the believers. These two factors bring victory to the Cause.\nDuring the days of Baha'u'llah, the majority of the believers in Persia were poor, and some needy. But when Haji Amin visited them, they had set aside through sacrifice small sums of money and were able to offer them for the Cause of God. It must be made clear that under Baha'u'llah's supervision the funds were spent for the promotion of the Cause, and very little, if any, for His own expenses or those of His companions. The history of the life of Baha'u'llah bears ample testimony to this fact. For during the forty years of His ministry He lived for the most part in the utmost poverty. There were days when a mere loaf of bread was not available to Him, and the garments He wore were the only clothes He had. The last few years of His earthly life, although relatively more comfortable, were nevertheless greatly influenced by the austerity that had characterized His life since the days of the Siyah-Chal in Tihran, when all His possessions had been confiscated and He had been deprived of the means to support Himself and His Family.[1]\nDesire for wealth is non-existent in the person of the Manifestation of God. He abides in a realm which is independent of all creation. And he is detached from all earthly things. Baha'u'llah has stated in many of His Tablets that this <p81> mortal world is only a handful of dust and as utter nothingness in His sight. For example, in His second Tablet to Napoleon III, Baha'u'llah admonishes the monarch for his attachment to this world and states how insignificant this world is in His estimation. These are His words, uttered with authority and might:\nHe, for Whose sake the world was called into being, hath\nbeen imprisoned in the most desolate of cities ('Akka), by\nreason of that which the hands of the wayward have\nwrought. From the horizon of His prison-city He\nsummoneth mankind unto the Dayspring of God, the\nExalted, the Great. Exultest thou over the treasures thou\ndost possess, knowing they shall perish? Rejoicest thou in\nthat thou rulest a span of earth, when the whole world, in\nthe estimation of the people of Baha, is worth as much as the\nblack in the eye of a dead ant? Abandon it unto such as have\nset their affections upon it, and turn thou unto Him Who is\nthe Desire of the world.(2)\nAnd in His Will and Testament, the Kitab-i-'Ahd, He has left us these exalted words:\nAlthough the Realm of Glory hath none of the vanities of\nthe world, yet within the treasury of trust and resignation\nwe have bequeathed to Our heirs an excellent and priceless\nheritage. Earthly treasures We have not bequeathed, nor\nhave We added such cares as they entail By God! In earthly\nriches fear is hidden and peril is concealed. Consider ye and\ncall to mind that which the All-Merciful hath revealed in the\nQur'an: 'Woe betide every slanderer and defamer, him that\nlayeth up riches and counteth them.' Fleeting are the riches\nof the world; all that perisheth and changeth is not, and hath\nnever been, worthy of attention, except to a recognized\nmeasure.(3)\nIt must be pointed out that the same attitude of detachment from earthly things so permeated the souls of 'Abdu'l-Baha and Shoghi Effendi, the two successive Centres of the Cause of <p82> Baha'u'llah, that it was against their nature to turn their affection to the things of this world. They both lived austere lives and followed the example of Baha'u'llah. Although they received large contributions from the friends, they authorized their spending strictly for the promotion of the Cause of God and did not have the slightest inclination to spend the funds for their own personal ends. Indeed, similar to Baha'u'llah, neither of them had any personal assets, whether monetary or of any other type.\nWhen 'Abdu'l-Baha travelled to the West to spread the Cause of Baha'u'llah and diffuse the divine fragrances in Europe and America, He had to use some of the funds which the Persian friends had contributed to Haji Amin as Huquq'u'llah. But He observed such care in spending the absolute minimum for Himself that His companions sometimes felt concerned about the lack of comfort which often resulted.\nThe renowned chronicler of 'Abdu'l-Baha's journeys to the West, Mirza Mahmud-i-Zarqani, His devoted secretary and companion, has recorded in his diaries (Badayi'u'l-Athar) that when 'Abdu'l-Baha and His party were travelling across the United States, the train journey proved to be tiring--especially for 'Abdu'l-Baha who was nearly seventy years of age. Yet in spite of this, He frequently declined to pay the extra small sum of money for sleeping accommodation on the train. Instead He would sit up all night on the hard wooden seats and close His eyes to rest. But, as demonstrated on that journey, He opened His purse and generously placed coins of silver and gold in the palms of the poor and needy wherever He found them. How different are the ways of God and man!\nIt was during those same epoch-making journeys that 'Abdu'l-Baha demonstrated a magnanimity and detachment characteristic of God's chosen ones by declining with graciousness all offers of funds and gifts from friends and strangers.\nIn his famous diaries Mirza Mahmud recounts a story of <p83> 'Abdu'l-Baha when He was in New York shortly before His departure from the United States:\n... that day some of the friends presented 'Abdu'l-Baha\nwith some funds, but He did not take them in spite of their\npersistently begging Him to accept them. He said: 'Offer it\nup to the poor on my behalf. It would be as if I have\npersonally given to them. But for me the best gift is the unity\nbetween the loved ones of God, their service to the Cause,\nthe diffusion of divine fragrances and their carrying out the\nteachings and exhortations of the Blessed Beauty.'\nOn such occasions the believers became very sad, because\ntheir offerings were not accepted by their Beloved. In spite\nof this the believers in New York, knowing that these were\nthe last few days of His stay in the United States, gathered\nsome presents for the members of the Holy Family[1]...\nsome of the friends had vowed together that they would\npersist in their request for acceptance of the gifts, that they\nwould cling to the hem of his garment and not leave His\npresence until He accepted their offerings. They presented\ntheir gifts and earnestly pleaded with Him to take them. He\nthen spoke to them in these words:\n[1 Including the wife of 'Abdu'l-Baha, His sister, daughters and other female members of His household.]\n'I am very grateful for all your services. Truly you have\nserved me, offered hospitality, rendered your services day\nand night and persevered in the diffusion of divine\nfragrances. I shall never forget your devoted services,\nbecause you had no other motive but to attain the good\npleasure of God, and had desired no station other than entry\ninto His Kingdom. Now you have brought some gifts for\nmy family. These gifts are very praiseworthy, but more\nexquisite than these are the gifts of the love of God which\nmay be preserved within the treasure-house of the hearts.\nThe former gifts are transitory, but the latter are eternal.\nThese gifts are to be kept in boxes and upon the shelves and\nWill eventually perish, but the other will remain eternally in\nall the worlds of God treasured within the heart. Therefore I <p84>\ncarry with me your love to them [i.e. The Holy Family]\nwhich is the greatest gift of all. In our house there is no room\nfor diamond rings or other jewellery. That house is devoid\nof the vanities of this world.\n'Now, I accept these gifts, but I entrust them to you to sell\nthem and send the proceeds to Chicago for the construction\nof the Mashriqu'l-Adhkar [Baha'i House of Worship].'\nThe friends, with tearful eyes, were disappointed.\n'Abdu'l-Baha said: 'I want to take with me a gift from you\nwhich may remain till eternity, the jewels which belong to\nthe treasure-house of the heart.'\nIn spite of much persistence and shedding of tears the\nbeloved Master did not accept the gifts and asked the friends\nto spend them for the Mashriqu'l-Adhkar in Chicago.(4)\nReturning to the story of Haji Amin, he lived a long life and was Trustee of the Huquq'u'llah during the ministries of Baha'u'llah and 'Abdu'l-Baha and during part of the ministry of Shoghi Effendi. During his long and turbulent life he was a source of inspiration and loving guidance for all the believers. He often visited their homes and urged them to become detached from the things of the world and to follow the path of modesty in all aspects of life. He disliked extravagance, as it would lessen the ability of the believers to contribute all they could to the Cause of God. So much was he against extravagance that whenever the friends invited him to dinner, they knew that Haji Amin would be most unhappy if they entertained him lavishly with various dishes at the table. He insisted that there be only one dish and that it consist of the simplest food. He often urged the host to add some extra water to the pot for his share of the food, and this recipe of adding extra water is widely known among the Persian believers as 'The soup of Haji Amin'!\nThere are many heartwarming stories about the way he conducted his life and the sacrifices he made in order to serve His Lord. These stories, ranging from trifling anecdotes to highly interesting and instructive comments made by him are <p85> entertaining and popular, but must be left out here, because to appreciate them the reader needs to be familiar with the customs and way of life at that time in the Middle East.\nHaji Amin suffered many persecutions in his long life of service. Among them was his imprisonment first in Tihran and then in Qazvin in the year AH 1308 (AD 1891) along with Mulla 'Ali-Akbar-i-Shahmirzad, known as Haji Akhund, one of the Hands of the Cause of God appointed by Baha'u'llah. These two heroes of God were imprisoned by the orders of Nasiri'd-Din Shah and his son Kamran Mirza, the Governor of Tihran.\nTheir imprisonment in Qazvin lasted about eighteen months, after which Haji Akhund was released but Haji Amin was transferred to a prison in Tihran where he remained for a further year. During this period their feet were kept in stocks and their necks placed in chains. When in the prison of Qazvin, a photographer was specially sent to take their photograph for the monarch to see. This photograph, showing the two in chains sitting with absolute resignation and calm, is widely in circulation among the believers. It was placed by 'Abdu'l-Baha in the hallway of His house opposite His room. He gazed upon it many times and rejoiced in His heart at beholding the faces of the two who were chained and fettered in the path of Baha'u'llah and were the embodiment of steadfastness and faith among the believers.\nIt was soon after the imprisonment of these two souls in Qazvin that Baha'u'llah in the opening paragraph of the Lawh-i-Dunya[1] (Tablet of the World) referred to the prison of Qazvin as 'mighty prison' and revealed these exalted words in their honour:\n[1 This Tablet was revealed in honour of Mirza Aqay-i-Afnan, entitled Nur'u'd-Din. We shall refer to him and to the Tablet in the next volume.]\nPraise and thanksgiving beseem the Lord of manifest\ndominion Who hath adorned this mighty prison with the\npresence of their honours 'Ali Akbar and Amin, and hath\nillumined it with the light of certitude, constancy and <p86>\nassurance. The glory of God and the glory of all that are in\nthe heavens and on the earth be upon them.\nLight and glory, greeting and praise be upon the Hands of\nHis Cause, through whom the light of fortitude hath shone\nforth and the truth hath been established that the authority\nto choose rests with God, the Powerful, the Mighty, the\nUnconstrained, through whom the ocean of bounty hath\nsurged and the fragrance of the gracious favours of God, the\nLord of mankind, hath been diffused. We beseech Him--\nExalted is he--to shield them through the power of His\nhosts, to protect them through the potency of His dominion\nand to aid them through His indomitable strength which\nprevaileth over all created things. Sovereignty is God's, the\nCreator of the heavens and the Lord of the Kingdom of\nNames.(5)\nIt is interesting to note that of the two mentioned in the Tablet, only Mulla 'Ali-Akbar had been nominated a Hand of the Cause of God by Baha'u'llah. However, Shoghi Effendi, Guardian of the Faith, conferred the same rank upon Haji Amin posthumously. Haji Amin passed away in Tihran in 1928, leaving behind an imperishable memory among the believers. Upon his death Shoghi Effendi appointed Haji Ghulam-Rida (entitled Amin-i-Amin), who for several years had been Haji Amin's assistant, to succeed him as Trustee of the Huquq'u'llah.\nIn appreciation of Haji Amin's services, 'Abdu'l-Baha named one of the doors of the Shrine of the Bab after him. <p87>\nLawh-i-Fu'ad\nFu'ad Pasha, Foreign Minister of the Ottoman Empire, had been a close collaborator of the Grand Vizir 'Ali Pasha in bringing about the exile of Baha'u'llah to 'Akka and His imprisonment there. In 1869 Fu'ad Pasha was dismissed from his post and subsequently died in France, at Nice. We have already seen how and in what terms Baha'u'llah had addressed the Grand Vizir in the Suriy-i-Ra'is and the Lawh-i-Ra'is. Now He revealed the Lawh-i-Fu'ad, another Tablet of great significance, in which He severely rebukes Fu'ad Pasha, declares that God had taken his life as a punishment, and describes in strong terms the agony of his soul in facing the wrath of God in the next life for having inflicted such sufferings upon His Supreme Manifestation. In this Tablet Baha'u'llah foreshadows the downfall of 'Ali Pasha and the Sultan himself in these prophetic words:\nSoon will We dismiss the one[1] who was like unto him, and\nwill lay hold on their Chief[2] who ruleth the land, and I,\nverily, am the Almighty, the All-Compelling.(1)\n[1 'Ali Pasha.]\n[2 Sultan 'Abdu'l-'Aziz.]\nIt did not take long after the revelation of this Tablet until 'Ali Pasha was disgracefully dismissed from his post and died in AD 1871. At the same time a process of opposition to the Sultan was set in motion in Turkey which culminated in AD 1876 in his dethronement and imprisonment by revolutionaries; a few days later he was killed. <p88>\nAs we shall see, the Lawh-i-Fu'ad was to play an important role in the conversion to the Faith of its foremost scholar, Mirza Abu'l-Fadl.\nShaykh Kazim-i-Samandar\nThe Lawh-i-Fu'ad was addressed to Shaykh Kazim-i-Samamdar, a native of Qazvin. This great man was one of the Apostles of Baha'u'llah and has been described by Shoghi Effendi as a flame of the love of God. His grandfather had met the Bab in Karbila before His declaration, had witnessed His extraordinary powers of invocation at the time of prayer and become deeply enchanted with the grandeur and majesty of His person. His father Shaykh Muhammad, entitled Nabil,[1] was one of the devoted followers of the Bab and attained His presence in the Fortresses of Mahku and Chihriq. Later he went to Baghdad and attained the presence of Baha'u'llah. He suffered persecution and his home in Qazvin was the centre of the activities of the early Babis.\n[1 Not to be confused with Mulla Muhammad-i-Zarandi, Nabil-i-A'zam or Mulla Muhammad-i-Qa'ini, Nabil-i-Akbar.]\nShaykh Kazim-i-Samandar, born a few months before the Declaration of the Bab, grew up in such a home and from his earliest days associated with the early disciples of the Bab, among them some of the Letters of the Living and the uncle of the Bab. Even in childhood Shaykh Kazim showed a great enthusiasm for Babi affairs and when he grew up he was a knowledgeable and devoted believer. Later he recognized the station of Baha'u'llah and became one of His outstanding followers, succeeding in diffusing the light of His Faith throughout Persia in general and in Qazvin in particular.\nWhen the news of the Declaration of Baha'u'llah and the claims of Mirza Yahya[1] reached him, he made an exhaustive study of the Writings of the Bab. His conclusions that Baha'u'llah alone was the Promised One of the Bayan were <p89> clear and unmistakable. In AH 1283 (AD 1866-67) he wrote a treatise in Arabic denouncing Mirza Yahya's rebellion, refuting his arguments and demonstrating his claims to be utterly false. Baha'u'llah refers to this treatise in the Lawh-i-Siraj[2] and states that God had inspired Shaykh Kazim in writing it. It is reported that Baha'u'llah conferred the title of Samandar[3] upon Shaykh Kazim after the writing of this challenging treatise.\n[1 See vols 1 and 2.]\n[3 A legendary bird supposed to live in fire.]\nIn His Tablets Baha'u'llah often commends those who refute the arguments of the enemies of the Faith. In the Tablet of Salman[1] He exhorts His followers in these words:\nWarn, O Salman, the beloved of the one true God, not to\nview with too critical an eye the sayings and writings of\nmen. Let them rather approach such sayings and writings in\na spirit of open-mindedness and loving sympathy. Those\nmen, however, who, in this Day, have been led to assail, in\ntheir inflammatory writings, the tenets of the Cause of God,\nare to be treated differently. It is incumbent upon all men,\neach according to his ability, to refute the arguments of\nthose that have attacked the Faith of God. Thus hath it been\ndecreed by Him Who is the All-Powerful, the Almighty.\nHe that wisheth to promote the Cause of the one true God,\nlet him promote it through his pen and tongue, rather than\nhave recourse to sword or violence. We have, on a previous\noccasion, revealed this injunction, and We now confirm it, if\nye be of them that comprehend. By the righteousness of\nHim Who, in this Day, crieth within the inmost heart of all\ncreated things: 'God, there is none other God besides Me!'\nIf any man were to arise to defend, in his writings, the Cause\nof God against its assailants, such a man, however\ninconsiderable his share, shall be so honoured in the world\nto come that the Concourse on high would envy his glory.\nNo pen can depict the loftiness of his station, neither can\nany tongue describe its splendour. For whosoever standeth <p90>\nfirm and steadfast in this holy, this glorious, and exalted\nRevelation, such power shall be given him as to enable him\nto face and withstand all that is in heaven and earth. Of this\nGod is Himself a witness.(2)\nShaykh Kazim-i-Samandar was an outstanding teacher of the Faith. Many early believers of Qazvin in particular owe their allegiance to the Cause to his indefatigable labours in propagating the Message of Baha'u'llah. His enthusiasm and faith, his zeal and devotion, deeply affected the hearts of his listeners and made them attentive to the Call of God in this age He also played an important part in defending the Cause of God from the misrepresentations of the followers of Mirza Yahya and those who at a later date during the ministry of 'Abdu'l-Baha were misled by Mirza Muhammad-'Ali,[1] the Arch-Breaker of the Covenant of Baha'u'llah. The believers in Qazvin, who from the early days of the Faith were affected by the spirit of division, of controversy and Covenant-breaking, were greatly helped by the presence of Shaykh Kazim in their midst. Mainly through his steadfastness and perseverance, the community was transformed.\nShaykh Kazim paid special attention to the education and upbringing of his children. A certain Mulla 'Ali entitled 'Mu'allim' (teacher) whom he had converted to the Faith and who was a man of learning, took up residence in the house and volunteered the work of educating the children.[1] This he did after reading Baha'u'llah's exhortation in the Kitab-i-Aqdas:\n[1 In those days people of means often employed a tutor at home for their children's education.]\nUnto every father hath been enjoined the instruction of his\nson and daughter in the art of reading and writing and in all\nthat hath been laid down in the Holy Tablet. He that putteth\naway that which is commanded unto him, the Trustees are\nthen to take from him that which is required for their\ninstruction, if he be wealthy, and if not the matter devolveth <p91>\nupon the House of Justice. Verily, have We made it a shelter\nfor the poor and needy. He that bringeth up his son or the\nson of another, it is as though he hath brought up a son of\nMine; upon him rest My Glory, My loving kindness, My\nMercy, that have compassed the world.(3)\nIt was the last sentence which inspired Mulla 'Ali to offer his services as a teacher to Shaykh Kazim's numerous children. He carried on this work for about thirty-six years. In one of His Tablets,(4) Baha'u'llah commends Mulla 'Ali for implementing one of His exhortations and refers to him as the first teacher who has attained the good pleasure of God by carrying out what has been revealed in the Kitab-i-Aqdas. He confers upon him His blessings, declares that the mere mention of him in that Tablet is the greatest reward for his soul, assures him that his name will be immortalized in all the schools throughout the world and intimates that he will send him a gift as a token of appreciation for his work. Baha'u'llah later instructed His Trustee, Haji Amin, to send Mulla 'Ali the gift of an 'aba (cloak) on His behalf and added a note that the 'aba should be of very good quality.\nShaykh Kazim-i-Samandar went twice on pilgrimage to attain the presence of Baha'u'llah in 'Akka. Among those who accompanied him on his second pilgrimage in AH 1308 (AD 1891) were Mulla 'Ali 'the teacher', and the Shaykh's son Mirza Tarazu'llah-i-Samandari who served the Faith as an eminent Baha'i teacher for many years. Shoghi Effendi was later to confer upon the latter the rank of Hand of the Cause of God.\nThe Conversion of Mirza Abu'l-Fadl\nThe dire prophecies in the Lawh-i-Fu'ad, foreshadowing in clear terms the downfall of the Sultan and of 'Ali Pasha, were often the subject of speculation and discussion among the believers of those days. A great many non-Baha'is who attended Baha'i gatherings heard the words of Baha'u'llah in <p92> this and similar Tablets. They noted His warnings with awe and wonder and some even made their acceptance of the Faith conditional upon their fulfilment. Notable among them was the renowned Mirza Abu'l-Fadl, a scholar of great eminence who, after having investigated the Faith, was looking for a conclusive proof to enable him to recognize its truth. He waited for the fulfilment of these prophecies. And when he embraced the Faith he became one of its greatest luminaries and one who defended the Faith from its adversaries with exemplary skill and devotion.\nSince Mirza Abu'l-Fadl is one of the greatest scholars of the Faith, an apologist of the highest calibre and whose contributions to the literature of the Faith are immense, it is befitting to devote a few pages in this book to his cherished memory.\nThe story of his encounters with the believers after having come in contact with the Faith is interesting indeed. In the year AH 1293 (AD 1876) when he was at the height of his career as the head of a theological college in Tihran, he was approached by one of his students who asked him to help him reply to some of the arguments put forward by a few Baha'is with whom he was in contact. This man used to bring the questions to Mirza Abu'l-Fadl and take back his comments to the Baha'is.\nThere was a devoted believer at the time by the name of 'Abdu'l-Karim-i-Mahut Furush (draper) who had a shop in the bazaar; his home was a place for the meetings of the Baha'is and those who were investigating the Faith. These meetings often lasted till the early hours of the morning. Independently of his student who often brought up the subject of the Baha'i Faith, Mirza Abu'l-Fadl somehow became acquainted with 'Abdu'l-Karim and occasionally used to visit him in his shop. For some time, however, Mirza Abu'l-Fadl did not discover that 'Abdu'l-Karim was a Baha'i. Then a small incident happened which provoked him to encounter a Baha'i directly.\nOne Friday afternoon, Mirza Abu'l-Fadl, in company with a few mullas, left the city to visit a certain shrine in the <p93> countryside in the vicinity of the capital. They were all riding on donkeys. It was customary in those days for the people to leave the city for nearby villages on Fridays (which is a public holiday in Islamic countries) for pleasure as well as visiting holy places.\nIt so happened that on the way out one of the donkeys lost a shoe, so the party called at the nearest blacksmith for help. Noticing the long beard and large turban of Mirza Abu'l-Fadl --indications of his vast knowledge--the blacksmith Ustad Husayn-i-Na'l-Band (shoeing smith), who was illiterate, was tempted to enter into conversation with the learned man. He said to Mirza that since he had honoured him with his presence, it would be a great privilege for him if he could be allowed to ask a question which had perplexed his mind for some time. When permission was granted he said, 'Is it true that in the Traditions of Shi'ah Islam[1] it is stated that each drop of rain is accompanied by an angel from heaven? And that this angel brings down the rain to the ground?' 'This is true,' Mirza Abu'l-Fadl responded. After a pause, the blacksmith begged to be allowed to ask another question to which Mirza gave his assent. 'Is it true', the blacksmith asked, 'that if there is a dog in a house no angel will ever visit that house?' Before thinking of the connection between the two questions, Mirza Abu'l-Fadl responded in the affirmative. 'In that case', commented the blacksmith, 'no rain should ever fall in a house where a dog is kept.' Mirza Abu'l-Fadl, the noted learned man of Islam, was now confounded by an illiterate blacksmith. His rage knew no bounds, and his companions noticed that he was filled with shame. They whispered to him, 'This blacksmith is a Baha'i!'\n[1 It must be pointed out that the majority of the so-called traditions of Shi'ah Islam are man-made and consist of trivial sayings. However, there are some authentic and weighty utterances by the Holy Imams which are in conformity with the form and the spirit of the Qur'an. And there are certain criteria for assessing the authenticity of such traditions. Baha'u'llah, for instance, has quoted many authentic traditions in the Kitab-i-Iqan.] <p94>\nThis incident left a deep impression on Mirza Abu'l-Fadl. The blacksmith, on the other hand, reported the whole story to 'Abdu'l-Karim and suggested that because his pride had been hurt, Mirza Abu'l-Fadl would now welcome an encounter with a Baha'i teacher in the hope of restoring his superiority. This assessment proved to be correct. For when 'Abdu'l-Karim invited Mirza Abu'l-Fadl to take part in a discussion with a certain Baha'i friend, he accepted the invitation. It appears that even up to this point, Mirza Abu'l-Fadl had not realized that 'Abdu'l-Karim himself was a Baha'i.\nThe meeting was arranged in the home of 'Abdu'l-Karim. But the Baha'i teacher whom 'Abdu'l-Karim had invited was a man devoid of learning. He was not an educated man. But his heart was connected to the Source of all Knowledge. Every abstruse subject that Mirza Abu'l-Fadl brought up during the discussion and every objection he raised was dealt with in simple terms and in such a manner that he could not question the validity of the arguments put forward by the Baha'i teacher.\nIt may seem strange that uneducated people may become the recipients of the knowledge of God. Indeed, one of the proofs of the power of God in this Revelation is that in addition to the many learned people who ranked foremost among the teachers of the Faith, there were those who did not have a proper education and in some cases were even illiterate, but who succeeded in guiding many souls to the Cause of God.\nAs has been stated in previous volumes,[1] the knowledge of God and His Manifestations, the power to discover the mysteries of life, to comprehend religious truth, and to understand the reality of man is not dependent upon academic education. This knowledge is bestowed upon the individual by God. And it is the heart of man which receives it and becomes the wellspring of enlightenment, power and understanding. Baha'u'llah has clearly stated that the prerequisite for becoming the repository of such knowledge and understanding <p95> is detachment from this world. In the opening paragraph of the Kitab-i-Iqan He declares:\n[1 See vol. 1, pp. 43-4, 98-9, 172-3, 186; vol. 2, pp. 33-4.]\nNo man shall attain the shores of the ocean of true\nunderstanding except he be detached from all that is in\nheaven and on earth. Sanctify your souls, O ye peoples of\nthe world, that haply ye may attain that station which God\nhath destined for you and enter thus the tabernacle which,\naccording to the dispensations of Providence, hath been\nraised in the firmament of the Bayan.\nThe essence of these words is this: they that tread the path\nof faith, they that thirst for the wine of certitude, must\ncleanse themselves of all that is earthly--their ears from idle\ntalk, their minds from vain imaginings, their hearts from\nworldly affections, their eyes from that which perisheth.\nThey should put their trust in God, and, holding fast unto\nHim, follow in His way. Then will they be made worthy of\nthe effulgent glories of the sun of divine knowledge and\nunderstanding, and become the recipients of a grace that is\ninfinite and unseen, inasmuch as man can never hope to\nattain unto the knowledge of the All-Glorious, can never\nquaff from the stream of divine knowledge and wisdom, can\nnever enter the abode of immortality, nor partake of the cup\nof divine nearness and favour, unless and until he ceases to\nregard the words and deeds of mortal man as a standard for\nthe true understanding and recognition of God and His\nProphets.(5)\nTrue understanding is the act of perceiving the inner meaning and the significance of a truth. Detachment from this world, a theme which has been constantly repeated and its meaning explained in the Writings of Baha'u'llah, is the key to living a life in harmony with the laws of creation. As we have already stated in previous volumes,[1] detachment from the world does not mean mendicancy, asceticism, poverty or carelessness in worldly affairs. One form of attachment, perhaps the most formidable, is the love of oneself and of one's <p96> accomplishments. In the above passage, Baha'u'llah has emphatically closed the door to any alternative by which man may obtain the great gift of understanding, which is not the same thing as scholarly knowledge acquired through learning and study.\n[1 See vols. 1 and 2, 'Detachment'.]\nA great scholar, a man of learning, may not necessarily be able to understand or discover the inner realities of God's creation and His Revelation. He must become detached from this world, and the greatest attachment for such a man is his knowledge![1] Indeed, as Baha'u'llah has often stated in His Writings, acquired knowledge may often become a veil for preventing the heart from receiving the light of divine guidance and the gift of true understanding. 'Abdu'l-Karim, who was not educated, and the other uneducated people who were primarily involved in teaching the Faith of Baha'u'llah to eminent men of learning such as Mirza Abu'l-Fadl, were endowed with the knowledge of God and possessed a great power of understanding. They had acquired these through their faith in Baha'u'llah and their detachment from their own ego and passion.\n[1 See vol. 2, pp. 39-43.]\nIn his first interview with the believers, Mirza Abu'l-Fadl was surprised to find himself unable to cope with a Baha'i who was not a learned man, and could not refute his arguments. However, he requested his host 'Abdu'l-Karim to arrange a meeting in which one of the learned Baha'is would take part, for he desired to have an encounter with a person of his own calibre so that he could establish once and for all his own superiority and demonstrate the falsity of the claims of the Bab and Baha'u'llah!\nThe meeting was arranged, but 'Abdu'l-Karim did not invite a learned Baha'i as Mirza Abu'l-Fadl had requested. Although uneducated, 'Abdu'l-Karim in his great wisdom knew that a man who was so proud of his knowledge would be blind to the Message of God. He knew that what Mirza Abu'l-Fadl needed most was someone who could expose his real ignorance of true religion. No one would be better suited to carry out this than a simple believer devoid of academic knowledge but possessed of faith and spiritual understanding.\nand was his link with Baha'u'llah (see p. 269) <p97>\nWhen Mirza Abu'l-Fadl arrived for this meeting he found himself again confronted with uneducated people. In the course of discussion he was utterly confounded by the simple yet brilliant proofs which were put forward in support of the Faith and in answer to his questions. He marvelled at these men who were devoid of learning and knowledge yet possessed such a marvellous understanding of the mysteries of the Qur'an and other Holy Books.\nIn the course of several meetings, discussions between Mirza Abu'l-Fadl and his unschooled Baha'i teachers continued. As anticipated by his host, these discussions had a sobering effect on Mirza Abu'l-Fadl. Since his prime motive in coming to Baha'i meetings was to disclose the absurdity of the claims of the Baha'is, he was remarkably humbled by his inability to refute the arguments presented by those few uneducated souls from among the believers, and his pride was badly hurt by the many humiliating defeats he encountered in the course of discussions with them. Later he met with learned Baha'is and conversed with them in numerous gatherings always finding their arguments irrefutable. Once he entered into discussion with the renowned Mulla Muhammad-i-Qa'ini (Nabil-i-Akbar).[1] At the end of that meeting he is reported to have exclaimed in an astonished tone: 'By God! No one could ever be found capable of withstanding the force of argument of this great man of knowledge.'\nIn one of his writings, Mirza Abu'l-Fadl describes his early\ndays of contact with the Faith in these words:\nIn the year AH 1293 (AD 1876) when the writer of these pages\n[i.e. Mirza Abu'l-Fadl] was a resident of Tihran and\nsteadfast in the faith of Shi'ah Islam, through some incidents\nhe established association with the people of Baha. The <p98>\nprime object of his endeavours was to compel them to\nsurrender and help stifle their growth. For nearly eight\nmonths he held many a debate with the learned of this Faith.\nAt the end of this period he found that all his vain\nimaginings had been broken down and had vanished. He\nthen began to tread the path of search after truth. He exerted\nall his efforts in investigating the proofs of this Faith,\nestablished close association in a spirit of brotherhood with\nthe leaders of all religions, the Jewish, Zoroastrian,\nChristian, Sunni, Shi'ah and Azali, made extensive enquiries\nfrom both friends and foes concerning the history of the\nFounder of this Faith, studied the Holy Books attentively,\nmeditated on the words of gnostics and divines most\ncarefully, and prayed in the dead of night and at dawn\nsupplicating the Almighty in a state of utter helplessness and\nanguish to bestow upon him guidance and grant him a\nseeing eye--until at last, through the operation of the will of\nGod, he acquired a penetrating insight into revealed\nreligions, and his distressed heart was filled with calm and\ncertitude.(6)\nBut before reaching the final stage of attaining certitude and embracing the Faith, Mirza Abu'l-Fadl went through a great deal of intellectual struggle. His mind was unable to reject the truth of the Cause but his heart was not touched by the light of faith and assurance. During this period of search he read most of the 'Writings of the Bab and Baha'u'llah that were available. The story of his reading the Kitab-i-Iqan for the first time and his reactions are recorded in a previous volume.[1] That incident is not only highly entertaining: at the same time it reveals the purity of his motive.\n[1 Vol. 2, pp. 219-20.]\nWhen Mirza Abu'l-Fadl found himself utterly confounded by the proofs and arguments which his Baha'i teachers had put forward, he entertained the idea that not until Baha'u'llah performed a miracle for him would his heart be satisfied. The Baha'is explained to him that miracles could not be regarded as a conclusive proof of the truth of the Messengers of God, for <p99> they were not capable of being witnessed universally and at all times. They were only meaningful for the few who had seen them. Furthermore it was not for man to test God. But Mirza Abu'l-Fadl insisted. He wrote a few questions on a paper, placed it in an envelope, sealed it with his own seal and handed it to 'Abdu'l-Karim for safe keeping. He then placed a blank sheet of paper in another envelope and asked 'Abdu'l-Karim to forward it to Baha'u'llah. He stated that if his questions were answered he would entertain no doubt about the truth of the Cause.\n'Abdu'l-Karim, accompanied by Mirza Abu'l-Fadl, took the blank letter and the sealed envelope to the home of Haji Muhammad Isma'il-i-Dhabih[1] so that he could forward the letter to Baha'u'llah. Mirza Abu'l-Fadl later told the story to Haji Mirza Haydar-'Ali, whose account is summarized in the following translation:\nWhen we arrived we learnt that the Haji was not at home,\nbut his wife, who knew 'Abdu'l-Karim... warmly welcomed\nus and insisted with such love and hospitality that\nwe went inside... We entered a room in which there were\nbooks and a case containing Holy Tablets... She gave\nus permission to open the case if we wished and study the\nHoly Writings. As 'Abdu'l-Karim was unable to read, he\nasked me if I would read for him. Through courtesy which\nwas characteristic of me I complied.\nThere was a Tablet written on blue paper addressed to\nSultan 'Abdu'l-'Aziz.[1] As I read it, I came upon the story of\nthe 'Show of Sultan Salim'[2] and I was fascinated by it. I\nfound the passages to be of the utmost eloquence, lucidity <p100>\nand sweetness. The more I read it, the more I wanted to\nread. I had never in all my life come across such wonderful\nutterances, which captivated my mind and attracted my\nheart. But I was thinking of everything in my mind except\nthat these were the words of God!\n[1 Haji Mirza Haydar-'Ali seems to have confused the issue of the Tablets. These were the Lawh-i-Ra'is and the Lawh-i-Fu'ad addressed to 'Ali Pasha and Fu'ad Pasha respectively and not to the Sultan, although references are made to the Sultan in these Tablets.]\n[2 As a child, Baha'u'llah attended the wedding feast of one of his brothers in Tihran. There He saw a puppet-show which he recounts in the Lawh-i-Ra'is.]\nThen I came to these exalted words: 'Soon will We dismiss the one who was like unto him, and will lay hand on their Chief[1] who ruleth the land, and I, verily, am the Almighty, the All-Compelling.'[2]\n[2 This is a passage from the Lawh-i-Fu'ad, see p. 87. From what Haji Mirza Haydar 'Ali narrates, one concludes that Mirza Abu'l-Fadl had first read the Lawh-i-Ra'is (revealed in 'Akka) and then the Lawh-i-Fu'ad. It is reasonable to assume that he read the Suriy-i-Ra'is as well, because the latter (which was addressed to 'Ali Pasha) was revealed in honour of\nDhabih in whose house Mirza Abu'l-Fadl was.]\nUpon reading this statement I was awe-struck, and plunged into a state of astonishment and wonder. For about half an hour I became speechless. Immersed in my thoughts, I wondered whether It was great magic or sorcery, and certainly it provided a grave test for me.\nEventually I was satisfied in my thoughts that we were\nentering the 'time of the end' and not until Godlessness\nspread would the Promised One come. I contended that\nBaha'u'llah had made these statements and prophesies in\norder to mislead ordinary people and keep a hold on His\nfollowers. Otherwise it would not be possible for a person\nwho was a prisoner by the order of a King to address him in\nsuch strong language and denounce him in such wrathful\nterms, especially when He was single and alone, without a\nhelper in a foreign land... These vain imaginings and\nsatanic thoughts were flooding my mind and yet I praise\nGod and thank Him for his loving grace that I was never\ninclined to dislike Baha'u'llah or be discourteous to Him.\n... Anyhow, in order to rescue myself from 'Abdu'l-Karim,\nI said to him... 'To possess the Dower of life over\ncreated things is a miracle the like of which has not been\nmanifested by the Prophets of past'... Therefore I took\nback the sealed envelope and my blank letter addressed to <p101>\nBaha'u'llah and tore them up and declared that for me the\nfulfilment of these prophecies would constitute the proof\nand a criterion for truth. I also got a pledge that no one\nwould talk to me about the Faith any more until these\nprophecies were fulfilled.\nI thought to myself that the incident of going to the house\nof the Haji was not only an act of providence which relieved\nme of further discussion with the Baha'is, but also provided\na way by which I would be able to guide these souls and\nrescue them from going the wrong way. But the believers\ndid not altogether cut off their association with me. They\ncame from time to time to see me and by their discourses...\ntried to rescue me from the fetters of vain imaginings. But I\nwas like a spider. The more they cut the web of my idle\nfancies the more I continued to make it.\nFive or six months passed by [from the day he read the\nabove Tablets]. During this period I often thought of\nBaha'u'llah's prophecy concerning the Sultan. Until one\nday I was passing by the Masjid-i-Shah (the Shah Mosque)\nof Tihran. My eyes fell upon Haji Mirzay-i-Afnan who was\na respectable merchant and one of the illustrious believers of\nthis Most Great Revelation. He was accompanied by Mirza\nHaydar-'Aliy-i-Ardistani,[1] a survivor of the Fort of Shaykh\nTabarsi.[2]\n[1 Not to be confused with the renowned Haji Mirza Haydar-'Aliy-i-Isfahani whose chronicles we are quoting in these pages.]\nThese two men were standing in the street and talking\ntogether. As I was trying to shun the Baha'is and steer clear\nof them, I pulled my 'aba over my head[1] and began to cross\nthe road away from these two men. But they saw me and\ncalled my name, and I had no choice but to respond to their\ncall. They said, 'Now the proof of the Faith of God has\nbeen established for you. The news of the dethronement of\nSultan 'Abdu'l-'Aziz has reached here by telegram.' This\nnews dealt me an enormously heavy blow. Although I knew <p102>\nwhat they were aiming at, I flared up with rage and shouted\nat them angrily, 'It is no concern of mine that the Sultan has\nbeen deposed. I am not a relative of his.' 'Did you not make\nyour acceptance of the truth of this Faith', they reminded\nme, 'dependent upon this event?' I was so convulsed with\nrage that I walked away without saying farewell. I did not\nproceed to where I was intending to go; instead I went back\n[1 The 'aba was a cloak worn by orientals in those days. It was normally placed over the shoulders, but on cold days it was customary to pull it over one's head.]\nKnowing the immensity of this test, I was overcome with\nemotion and with tears flowing uncontrollably from my\neyes I begged God to assist me so that I might not be misled.\nWhile I was in this condition, 'Abdu'l-Karim and two\nothers arrived. I was in no state of mind to invite them in, so\nI left the house and did not return home until late at night\nThese friends knew that I could not face them and that I had\nrun away. They waited two to three days and then came. I\napologized for my behaviour on that evening, and said to\nthem that we must now wait until the prophecy of 'We will\nlay hand on their Chief' be fulfilled. I explained that the\nterm 'lay hand on' did not mean natural death, for everyone\ndies. It signified that he must be killed.\nMy zeal in finding the truth had by now reached its\nclimax. I visited all the learned men whom I trusted and\ndiscussed the principles of religion with them but found\nthem helpless, while the proofs put forward by the Baha'is\nwere, in my view, overwhelming and far superior. By this\ntime I found myself able to discover the mysteries and\nunderstand the reality and significances of the verses of the\nA few days passed and the news of the assassination of the\nSultan was flashed by telegram. I went out of my mind, and\nwas utterly perplexed. I was so agitated that I even aimed\nblows at myself. At one time I would fight with God, at\nanother I would turn unbeliever, then I would repent and\nbeseech God to assist, guide and protect me. I went through\nsuch an ordeal that day and night I could not relieve myself\nfrom these thoughts. I could neither eat nor sleep. I could\nnot eat. I only drank tea and smoked and wept.\nOne night I was roused from my slumber and I began to <p103>\nadmonish myself in these words: 'It is about one year that\nyou have been associating and arguing with these Baha'is.\nThese men are illiterate and uneducated, yet they have\nasserted their ascendancy over you every time, they have\nadduced proofs and demonstrated the validity of their\nCause. Although you consider yourself to be a learned man\nand a researcher in the Holy Books, commentaries and\ntraditions, yet you know that these men are much more\nresourceful than you are. It is as if they are inspired and\nassisted by God, and the Holy Spirit speaks through them.\nYou have also been a witness to their exalted character and\nheavenly virtues. Why then should you interpret their\nwords as the breathings of the evil whisperer? You\nremember how enchanted you were when you read the\nstory of the 'Show of Sultan Salim' in the Lawh-i-Ra'is!\nHow you were attracted by the eloquence and sublimity of\nthose words! Now, you ought to read and investigate the\nwritings of the one who claims to be the revealer of the\nWord of God with the eye of justice and fairness. If this\nCause be untrue, the first to contend it is God. Therefore, its\nsurvival is impossible...\nI arose, performed my ablutions and said prayers. I then\ntook the Tablet of Baha'u'llah [Lawh-i-Ra'is] which,\nalthough it had been in my possession for a long time, I had\nnot been moved to read. I opened it, turned tearfully and\nwith devotion to God, and began to read it. It was then that I\nheard the voice of God... calling me through the\nmouthpiece of this Manifestation, 'Am I not your Lord?'\nTo that call reaching me from the Beauty of the All-Glorious,\nI responded with all my heart, 'Thou art, thou\nart![1] I believed.\n[1 In Islam, this expression is used as the response of the believer to the call of God when He manifests Himself to him.]\nI passed from the state of idle fancies and vain imaginings\ninto that of certitude... I became highly attracted to the\nWord of God and carried away by its power. I felt such love\nand devotion towards the Dayspring of Divine Revelation\n[Baha'u'llah] and experienced such joy and ecstasy in myself\nthat I cannot ever describe it. Words cannot express the <p104>\nheights of spirituality to which I had been transformed... I\nknew that if I served these souls who had become the cause\nof my guidance to the end of my days, and if I laid down my\nLife in their path, I should never be able to repay them for\ngiving me eternal salvation and spiritual life...\nWith infinite joy I spent that night. Before dawn I\nhastened to the house of 'Abdu'l-Karim, kissed the\nthreshold of his door, prostrated myself at his feet and\nmanifested such humility and self-effacement towards him\nthat he was highly embarrassed. He told me that my\nbehaviour was not warranted and it was based on my vain\nImaginings, for God is the one who guides the souls and not\nAfter embracing the Faith of Baha'u'llah, Mirza Abu'l-Fadl became an entirely new creation. He acquired keen spiritual insight and a faith seldom seen among the followers of Baha'u'llah. Probably the reason for this, in the first instance, was the purity of his heart which enabled him in his arduous journey of search after truth to battle through and tear up many veils of pride, superstition and vain imaginings, until there was nothing left but a pure spirit attracted to Baha'u'llah as a piece of iron would be to a powerful magnet. So complete was this attraction that, like to the iron when it becomes magnetized, he surrendered his will entirely to that of Baha'u'llah and as a result became a spiritual giant adorned with such virtues and accomplishments that few, if any, of the Apostles of Baha'u'llah have surpassed him in qualities and perfections.\nIn the second instance, through the influence of the Faith of Baha'u'llah, his vast knowledge of religion, history and philosophy acquired a new dimension, a new quality and a new power. The forces of the Revelation of Baha'u'llah acted as rays of light, and his knowledge as the eye. The combination of the two brought him new vision. This knowledge, now guided by the light of faith and coupled with detachment from all earthly things, bestowed upon him the gift of true <p105> understanding of such magnitude that he became a wellspring of divine knowledge. He used this knowledge as a tool to understand, to the extent that it is possible for man to do, the inner reality of the Revelation of Baha'u'llah. Through the knowledge of God, detachment from all earthly things, and living the life, he recognized the station of Baha'u'llah and the greatness of this Cause to a degree that perhaps only a few have attained.\nThe recognition of the Manifestation of God (Baha'u'llah, in this day) is the first step towards the spiritual development of the soul. And as this recognition is relative and varies from person to person, it is apparent that those who succeed in recognizing the grandeur of the Revelation of Baha'u'llah in depth, and become truly aware of His transcendent glory and awe-inspiring majesty, will be endowed with far greater powers of spiritual understanding. Mirza Abu'l-Fadl achieved this to a supreme degree and became the fulfilment of these words of Baha'u'llah:\nWhoso hath recognized Me, will arise and serve Me with\nsuch determination that the powers of earth and heaven\nshall be unable to defeat his purpose.(8)\nThat he had perceived with such penetrating insight the significance and greatness of the Day of God ushered in by Baha'u'llah is evident from his writings and the example of his life.\nThe late Ali-Kuli Khan,[1] who spent a considerable time with Mirza Abu'l-Fadl, has described the ardour with which the latter used to pray, and then comments: 'The reason he prayed with such fervour and such weeping was his concept of the greatness of God and his own nothingness; his belief that his very existence, bestowed on him by Divine mercy, was a sin in this Day \"whereon naught can be seen except the <p106> splendours of the Light that shineth from the face of thy Lord ...\"'[9]\n[1 He rendered notable services to the Faith in the early days of its establishment in the West; among his services were many works of translation.]\nThrough these qualities Mirza Abu'l-Fadl became a source of divine knowledge and an embodiment of Baha'i virtues, of humility and self-effacement to such an extent that 'Abdu'l-Baha in one of his talks(10) after Mirza Abu'l-Fadl's passing described him as a 'supreme exemplar for the Baha'is to follow'. On another occasion He referred to him as a 'lamp of this Cause', 'the light of guidance', 'a brilliant star', 'a billowing ocean'. When in America, the Master sent a telegram to a friend in Egypt directing him to take great care of Mirza Abu'l-Fadl and saying, 'His person is to be regarded as My own self.'\nThe same Ali-Kuli Khan has described him in these words: 'If I had never seen 'Abdu'l-Baha and Shoghi Effendi, I would consider Mirza Abu'l-Fadl the greatest being I ever laid eyes on.'(11)\nMirza Abu'l-Fadl knew the station of Baha'u'llah to be so exalted, and himself so unworthy, that he felt unable to seek permission to attain His presence. He was one of the Apostles of Baha'u'llah who never gazed upon the face of His Lord. But he attained the presence of 'Abdu'l-Baha for the first time in 1894 and basked in the sunshine of His love for about ten months. Here he showed such humility and self-effacement that the believers who were present learned from him the meaning of true servitude and utter nothingness. Ali-Kuli Khan has described this so beautifully:\n... Yes, but really to know his greatness, you had to watch\nhim when he was in the presence of 'Abdu'l-Baha. Then his\nknowledge reduced him to nothingness, and you thought of\na pebble on the ocean shore.(12)\nConcerning the great bounty of meeting 'Abdu'l-Baha he has written this account:\nWhen in AD 1894 the author travelled to the Holy Land and, <p107>\nthrough the assistance of the Divine Favors, attained unto\nthe visit of His Holy Threshold, he was amazed to behold in\nHim all virtues and perfections. These were witnessed\nduring ten months residence in the shelter of His nearness.\nMany a time we were in His Holy Presence when\nmultitudes of prominent people were there, such as judges,\ndoctors and great military and civil officials of different\nnationality, religion and language. While He was in their\nmidst large packages of letters from all parts and countries\nof the world were brought to Him. Although encompassed\nwith insurmountable difficulties, He--Glorified is His\nName and Grandeur!--continued to answer questions and\nrequests made by those present, while He wrote replies to\neach letter. These Tablets and replies were written without\nmeditation, pause of pen, or preliminary rough-copy, and\nwithout the help of a scribe. All regions are filled with His\nTablets and hearts are attracted through their spread. He has\ncaused the Voice of His Lord... to reach the high heavens.\nThrough the words of His widespread epistles, which exhale\nthe purest fragrances of His Utterances, souls are uplifted;\nand from their verses the fountains of knowledge and\nwisdom flow onward.(13)\nThis great man, whom Baha'u'llah and 'Abdu'l-Baha cherished so dearly, and the example of whose life 'Abdu'l-Baha bade His followers emulate, in memory of whose outstanding services to the Cause is named one of the doors of the Shrine of the Bab, served the Faith of God with distinction mainly because he had detached himself from all earthly things and had the capacity to become the recipient of the bounties and confirmations of Baha'u'llah.[1]\n[1 For an account of Mirza Abu'l-Fadl's activities as a Baha'i teacher, see Appendix II.] <p108>\nThe World's Most Powerful Rulers\nIn spite of the severity of the restrictions laid on Baha'u'llah in the barracks of 'Akka, He joyously imparted to His followers the glad tidings that soon through the power of the Almighty the gates of the prison would be opened and the spiritual influences of His all-encompassing Revelation would increasingly permeate the whole world. As we survey the succession of events from the day Baha'u'llah declared His station in the Garden of Ridvan in 1863 up to the time that He was incarcerated in the Most Great Prison, we note with awe and wonder the momentous happenings which had taken place and the immensity and vastness of His Revelation which had so effectively revitalized the fortunes of the community of the Most Great Name.\nDuring this short period of time covering not quite six years, Baha'u'llah, the Supreme Manifestation of God, had unveiled the glory of His Countenance hidden behind 'a myriad veils of light' to a number of His companions in that Garden, when according to His own testimony the whole of creation had been 'immersed in the sea of purification' and the splendours of the light of His Countenance broke upon the world. At that moment the seed of a new world-embracing, world-vitalizing order, divine in origin and possessed of immeasurable potentialities, had been sown in the soil of human society, destined to germinate one decade later with the revelation of the Kitab-i-Aqdas when the laws and ordinances as well as the institutions of that same order would be brought into being.\nIn the short period of time separating the Declaration of His Mission and His imprisonment in 'Akka, the great majority of <p109> the followers of the Bab had embraced the Cause of Baha'u'llah, identified themselves with His name, and some had gone as pilgrims, travelling long distances, often on foot, to attain His presence. As a result of their coming into contact with the vitalizing spirit of His exalted Person, most of them became a new creation. They glowed like balls of fire, returned to their homes and radiated the light of His Faith to countless souls in Persia; many of them willingly accepted the crown of martyrdom and laid down their lives in His path.\nIn that same period, the Cause of God had witnessed a prodigious outpouring of divine revelation for five years in Adrianople, culminating in the historic proclamation of His Message in that land. The Suriy-i-Muluk[1] (Surih of the Kings) had been revealed in language of authority and power and through it the clarion call of a mighty King had been sounded and His claims fully asserted. The Tablet described by Him as 'The Rumbling' of His proclamation, addressed to Nasiri'd-Din Shah of Persia had been revealed, though not yet delivered.\nHis first Tablet to Napoleon III had been dispatched. The Suriy-i-Ra'is[1] in which 'Ali Pasha, the Grand Vizir, had been severely rebuked and about which Baha'u'llah had testified that from the moment of its revelation 'until the present day, neither hath the world been tranquillized, nor have the hearts of its people been at rest', had been revealed, and the prophecies it contained had been noted with awe and wonder.\nFurthermore, the process of the disintegration and rolling up of the old order had been set in motion when the summons of the Lord of Hosts to the kings and rulers of the world was either rejected or ignored. Also in that short period of time, the breaker of the Covenant of the Bab, Mirza Yahya, stigmatized by Baha'u'llah as the 'Most Great Idol' had been cast out with the hands of power and might from the community of the Most Great Name. <p110>\nSuch were the great and momentous events that had marked the opening years of Baha'u'llah's ministry since the declaration of His mission in Baghdad, and now, in 'Akka, though confined to a cell and cut off from the body of the believers, the outpouring of Baha'u'llah's Revelation did not cease. The Ocean of His utterance continued to surge and the Tongue of Grandeur spoke with authority and might. Behind the walls of the Most Great Prison, the Pen of the Most High directed its warnings and exhortations first to His immediate persecutors and then to some of the outstanding monarchs of the world at that time.\n'Never since the beginning of the world,' Baha'u'llah\nHimself affirms, 'hath the Message been so openly proclaimed.'\n'Each one of them,' He, specifically referring to\nthe Tablets addressed by Him to the sovereigns of the\nearth--Tablets acclaimed by 'Abdu'l-Baha as a 'miracle'--\nhas written, 'hath been designated by a special name. The\nfirst hath been named 'The Rumbling,' the second 'The\nBlow,' the third 'The Inevitable,' the fourth, 'The Plain,' the\nfifth 'The Catastrophe,' and the others 'The Stunning\nTrumpet-Blast,' 'The Near Event,' 'The Great Terror,' 'The\nTrumpet,' 'The Bugle,' and the like, so that all the peoples\nof the earth may know, of a certainty, and may witness, with\noutward and inward eyes that He Who is the Lord of\nNames hath prevailed, and will continue to prevail, under\nall conditions, over all men.'(1)\nTablet to Napoleon III\nBaha'u'llah's first Tablet to Napoleon III, sent while He was in Adrianople, had been received by the monarch with discourtesy and disrespect.[1] He is reported to have flung down the Tablet saying 'If this man is God, I am two gods!' The second Tablet to Napoleon III was revealed (in Arabic) <p111> and sent to him in 1869, after Baha'u'llah had received a communication from one of the Emperor's ministers informing Him that up till then there had been no reply forthcoming. This Tablet, unlike the previous one which was written in a mild tone, is revealed in majestic language, has the tone of supreme authority and declares unmistakably that its Author is none other than the King of Kings. Its opening paragraph alone is sufficient to convey to the reader a glimpse of the majesty of Baha'u'llah's utterance:\nO King of Paris! Tell the priest to ring the bells no longer.\nBy God, the True One! The Most Mighty Bell hath\nappeared in the form of Him Who is the Most Great Name,\nand the fingers of the will of thy Lord, the Most Exalted, the\nMost High, toll it out in the heaven of Immortality, in His\nName, the All-Glorious... Give ear, O King, unto the\nVoice that calleth from the Fire which burneth in this\nVerdant Tree, upon this Sinai which hath been raised above\nthe hallowed and snow-white Spot, beyond the Everlasting\nCity: 'Verily, there is none other God but Me, the Ever-Forgiving,\nthe Most Merciful!'(2)\nIn this Tablet Baha'u'llah prophesies Napoleon's downfall, states the reason for it, and declares his doom to be inevitable unless he makes amends and arises to serve His Cause.\nThese passages gleaned from the Tablet will serve to acquaint the reader with Baha'u'llah's compelling utterance rebuking one of the mightiest monarchs of His time:\nO King! We heard the words thou didst utter in answer to\nthe Czar of Russia, concerning the decision made regarding\nthe war (Crimean War). Thy Lord, verily, knoweth, is\ninformed of all. Thou didst say: 'I lay asleep upon my\ncouch, when the cry of the oppressed, who were drowned in\nthe Black Sea, awakened me.' This is what we heard thee\nsay, and, verily, thy Lord is witness unto what I say. We\ntestify that that which wakened thee was not their cry, but <p112>\nthe promptings of thine own passions, for We tested thee,\nand found thee wanting. Comprehend the meaning of My\nwords, and be thou of the discerning... Hadst thou been\nsincere in thy words, thou wouldst have not cast behind thy\nback the Book of God, when it was sent unto thee by Him\nWho is the Almighty, the All-Wise. We have proved thee\nthrough it, and found thee other than that which thou didst\nprofess. Arise, and make amends for that which escaped\nthee. Ere long the world and all that thou possessest will\nperish, and the kingdom will remain unto God, thy Lord\nand the Lord of thy fathers of old. It behooveth thee not to\nconduct thine affairs according to the dictates of thy desires.\nFear the sighs of this Wronged One, and shield Him from\nthe darts of such as act unjustly. For what thou hast done,\nthy kingdom shall be thrown into confusion, and thine\nempire shall pass from thine hands, as a punishment for that\nwhich thou hast wrought. Then wilt thou know how thou\nhast plainly erred. Commotions shall seize all the people in\nthat land, unless thou arisest to help this Cause, and\nfollowest Him Who is the Spirit of God (Jesus) in this, the\nstraight Path. Hath thy pomp made thee proud? By My\nLife! It shall not endure; nay, It shall soon pass away, unless\nthou holdest fast by this firm Cord. We see abasement\nhastening after thee, while thou art of the heedless...\nAbandon thy palaces to the people of the graves, and thine\nempire to whosoever desireth it, and turn, then, unto the\nKingdom. This, verily, is what God hath chosen for thee,\nwert thou of them that turn unto Him... Shouldst thou\ndesire to bear the weight of thy dominion, bear it then to aid\nthe Cause of thy Lord. Glorified be this station which\nwhoever attaineth thereunto hath attained unto all good\nthat proceedeth from Him Who is the All-Knowing, the\nAll-Wise... Exultest thou over the treasures thou dost\npossess, knowing they shall perish? Rejoicest thou in that\nthou rulest a span of earth, when the whole world, in the\nestimation of the people of Baha, is worth as much as the\nthe Desire of the world. Whither are gone the proud and <p113>\ntheir palaces? Gaze thou into their tombs, that thou mayest\nprofit by this example, inasmuch as We made it a lesson\nunto every beholder. Were the breezes of Revelation to\nseize thee, thou wouldst flee the world, and turn unto the\nKingdom, and wouldst expend all thou possessest, that thou\nmayest draw nigh unto this sublime Vision.(3)\nIt took only a few months for Baha'u'llah's prophecies to be fulfilled; the Emperor met his doom in 1870.\nShoghi Effendi has written a brief account of this in The Promised Day Is Come:\nThe significance of the sombre and pregnant words\nuttered by Baha'u'llah in His second Tablet was soon\nrevealed. He who was actuated in provoking the Crimean\nWar by his selfish desires, who was prompted by a personal\ngrudge against the Russian Emperor, who was impatient to\ntear up the Treaty of 1815 in order to avenge the disaster of\nMoscow, and who sought to shed military glory over his\nthrone, was soon himself engulfed by a catastrophe that\nhurled him in the dust, and caused France to sink from her\npreeminent station among the nations to that of a fourth\nPower in Europe.\nThe battle of Sedan in 1870 sealed the fate of the French\nEmperor. The whole of his army was broken up and\nsurrendered, constituting the greatest capitulation hitherto\nrecorded in modern history. A crushing indemnity was\nexacted. He himself was taken prisoner. His only son, the\nPrince Imperial, was killed, a few years later, in the Zulu\nWar. The Empire collapsed, its programme unrealized. The\nRepublic was proclaimed. Paris was subsequently besieged\nand capitulated. 'The terrible year' marked by civil war,\nexceeding in its ferocity the Franco-German War, followed.\nWilliam I, the Prussian king, was proclaimed German\nEmperor in the very palace which stood as a 'mighty\nmonument and symbol of the power and pride of Louis\nXIV, a power which had been secured to some extent by the\nhumiliation of Germany.' Deposed by a disaster 'so <p114>\nappalling that it resounded throughout the world,' this false\nand boastful monarch suffered in the end, and till his death\nthe same exile as that which, in the case of Baha'u'llah, he\nhad so heartlessly ignored.(4)\nThe Tablet of Baha'u'llah to Napoleon was taken out of the Prison by a person who hid it in his hat so that it might not be detected by the guards. It was delivered to the French consular agent in 'Akka[1] who translated it into French and sent it to the Emperor. The reading of the Tablet revealed in such majestic and eloquent language, containing such ominous warnings to the Emperor, deeply affected the son of the French agent who became a believer when he saw to his amazement the fulfilment of Baha'u'llah's prophecies within so short a period of time.\n[1 Louis Catafago, a Christian Arab.]\nFor those who have embraced the Cause of Baha'u'llah and recognized the divine origin of His Revelation, there can be no comparison between His Words--the Words of God--and the writings of men. Indeed, immeasurable is the difference between the two. Not only are His words creative, not only do they penetrate deep into the hearts of people and revolutionize human society, but from a literary point of view alone, the Writings of Baha'u'llah do not always follow the logical pattern which the minds of men have devised. A writer worthy of his name will commonly dwell on one subject at a time and develop his theme step by step in a logical manner. He does not introduce a subject which is not relevant to his theme half-way through. But the revealed Word is not sent down by God in the pattern of man's thinking and logic. It is exalted above human limitations; it is like a limitless ocean beyond the reach of man, an ocean from whose billowing waves only a few drops resembling words fall upon the shores of human understanding. But its outpouring follows no pattern which the mind of man can comprehend.\nAn example of this non-conformity may be found in the Tablet to Napoleon, where Baha'u'llah gives one of His most binding commandments to His followers in these words: <p115>\nGod hath prescribed unto every one the duty of teaching\nHis Cause. Whoever ariseth to discharge this duty, must\nneeds, ere he proclaimeth His Message, adorn himself with\nthe ornament of an upright and praiseworthy character, so\nthat his words may attract the hearts of such as are receptive\nto his call. Without it, he can never hope to influence his\nhearers.(5)\nAnd also He counsels His loved ones:\nO people of Baha! Subdue the citadels of men's hearts with\nthe swords of wisdom and of utterance. They that dispute,\nas prompted by their desires, are indeed wrapped in a\npalpable veil. Say: The sword of wisdom is hotter than\nsummer heat, and sharper than blades of steel, if ye do but\nunderstand. Draw it forth in My name and through the\npower of My might, and conquer, then, with it the cities of\nthe hearts of them that have secluded themselves in the\nstronghold of their corrupt desires. Thus biddeth you the\nPen of the All-Glorious, whilst seated beneath the swords\nof the wayward. If ye become aware of a sin committed by\nanother, conceal it, that God may conceal your own sin. He,\nverily, is the Concealer, the Lord of grace abounding. O ye\nrich ones on earth! If ye encounter one who is poor, treat\nhim not disdainfully. Reflect upon that whereof ye were\ncreated. Every one of you was created of a sorry germ.(6)\nAnother example is when Baha'u'llah chooses to announce, in the middle of His Tablet to Napoleon, that the two greatest Festivals in the Faith are the Festival of Ridvan and the Festival of the Declaration of the Bab, and that these are followed by two other Festivals, His own birthday and that of the Bab. In this Tablet, Baha'u'llah also announces the formulation of the law of fasting and stipulates its duration to be nineteen days.[1] Such is divine Revelation!\n[1 A great part of the Tablet to Napoleon III is translated into English and published, but some passages such as those referred to above are not translated yet.] <p116>\nTablet to Pope Pius IX\nThe Tablet to Pope Pius IX (in Arabic) was revealed by Baha'u'llah around the same time as that to Napoleon. In it Baha'u'llah identifies Himself as the Lord of Lords and addresses the Pope with the authority and majesty of God, proclaiming to him in unequivocal language the promised return of Christ in the glory of the Father, and summoning him with the commanding voice of the Almighty to leave his palaces and hasten to present himself before the throne of his Lord.\nHere are some extracts from this mighty Tablet:\nO Pope! Rend the veils asunder. He Who is the Lord of\nLords is come overshadowed with clouds, and the decree\nhath been fulfilled by God, the Almighty, the Unrestrained\n... He, verily, hath again come down from Heaven even as\nHe came down from it the first time. Beware that thou\ndispute not with Him even as the Pharisees disputed with\nHim (Jesus) without a clear token or proof...\nDwellest thou in palaces whilst He Who is the King of\nRevelation liveth in the most desolate of abodes? Leave\nthem unto such as desire them, and set thy face with joy and\ndelight towards the Kingdom... Arise in the name of thy\nLord, the God of Mercy, amidst the peoples of the earth,\nand seize thou the Cup of Life with the hands of confidence\nand first drink thou therefrom, and proffer it then to such as\nturn towards it amongst the peoples of all faiths...\nCall thou to remembrance Him Who was the Spirit\n(Jesus), Who when He came, the most learned of His age\npronounced judgment against Him in His own country,\nwhilst he who was only a fisherman believed in Him. Take\nheed., then, ye men of understanding heart!...\nO Supreme Pontiff! Incline thine ear unto that which the\nFashioner of mouldering bones counselleth thee, as voiced\nby Him Who is His Most Great Name. Sell all the\nembellished ornaments thou dost possess, and expend them <p117>\nin the path of God, Who causeth the night to return upon\nthe day, and the day to return upon the night. Abandon thy\nkingdom unto the kings, and emerge from thy habitation,\nwith thy face set towards the Kingdom, and, detached from\nthe world, then speak forth the praises of thy Lord betwixt\nearth and heaven. Thus hath bidden thee He Who is the\nPossessor of Names, on the part of thy Lord, the Almighty,\nthe All-Knowing.(7)\nIt is significant that very soon after the revelation of this Tablet, the temporal sovereignty of the Pope, which for centuries had proved to be the most powerful in Christendom but which had been diminishing in its power and influence for some time, was, through the potency of the words of the heavenly Father, dramatically extinguished.\nShoghi Effendi in his evaluation of this event has written:\nIn 1870, after Baha'u'llah had revealed His Epistle to Pius\nIX, King Victor Emmanuel I went to war with the Papal\nstates, and his troops entered Rome and seized it. On the eve\nof its seizure, the Pope repaired to the Lateran and, despite\nhis age and with his face bathed in tears, ascended on bended\nknees the Scala Santa. The following morning, as the\ncannonade began, he ordered the white flag to be hoisted\nabove the dome of St. Peter. Despoiled, he refused to\nrecognize this 'creation of revolution,' excommunicated the\ninvaders of his states, denounced Victor Emmanuel as the\n'robber King' and as 'forgetful of every religious principle,\ndespising every right, trampling upon every law.' Rome,\n'the Eternal City, on which rest twenty-five centuries of\nglory,' and over which the Popes had ruled in\nunchallengeable right for ten centuries, finally became the\nseat of the new kingdom, and the scene of that humiliation\nwhich Baha'u'llah had anticipated and which the Prisoner of\nthe Vatican had imposed upon himself.\n'The last years of the old Pope,' writes a commentator on\nhis life, 'were filled with anguish. To his physical infirmities\nwas added the sorrow of beholding, all too often, the Faith\noutraged in the very heart of Rome, the religious orders <p118>\ndespoiled and persecuted, the Bishops and priests debarred\nfrom exercising their functions.\nEvery effort to retrieve the situation created in 1870\nproved fruitless. The Archbishop of Posen went to\nVersailles to solicit Bismarck's intervention in behalf of the\nPapacy, but was coldly received. Later a Catholic party was\norganized in Germany to bring political pressure on the\nGerman Chancellor. All, however, was in vain. The mighty\nprocess already referred to had to pursue inexorably its\ncourse. Even now, after the lapse of above half a century, the\nso-called restoration of temporal sovereignty has but served\nto throw into greater relief the helplessness of this erstwhile\npotent Prince, at whose name kings trembled and to whose\ndual sovereignty they willingly submitted. This temporal\nsovereignty, practically confined to the minuscule City of\nthe Vatican, and leaving Rome the undisputed possession of\na secular monarchy, has been obtained at the price of\nunreserved recognition, so long withheld, of the Kingdom\nof Italy. The Treaty of the Lateran, claiming to have\nresolved once and for all the Roman Question, has indeed\nassured to a secular Power, in respect of the Enclaved City, a\nliberty of action which is fraught with uncertainty and peril.\n'The two souls of the Eternal City,' a Catholic writer has\nobserved, 'have been separated from each other, only to\ncollide more severely than ever before.'\nWell might the Sovereign Pontiff recall the reign of the\nmost powerful among his predecessors, Innocent III who,\nduring the eighteen years of his pontificate, raised and\ndeposed the kings and the emperors, whose interdicts\ndeprived nations of the exercise of Christian worship, at the\nfeet of whose legate the King of England surrendered his\ncrown, and at whose voice the fourth and the fifth crusades\nwere both undertaken.[8]\nTablet to Czar Alexander II\nAnother Tablet revealed in 'Akka was a Tablet to the Czar of Russia, Alexander II. It was revealed in Arabic. In it Baha'u'llah proclaims His station, identifies Himself as the <p119> Heavenly Father and calls on him to arise in His Name, proclaim His Mission and summon the nations to His Cause. These are some of the words of Baha'u'llah addressed to the Czar:\nO Czar of Russia! Incline thine ear unto the voice of God,\nthe King, the Holy, and turn thou unto Paradise, the Spot\nwherein abideth He Who, among the Concourse on high,\nbeareth the most excellent titles, and Who, in the kingdom\nof creation, is called by the name of God, the Effulgent, the\nAll-Glorious. Beware lest thy desire deter thee from turning\ntowards the face of thy Lord, the Compassionate, the Most\nMerciful... Beware lest thy sovereignty withhold thee\nfrom Him Who is the Supreme Sovereign. He, verily, is\ncome with His Kingdom, and all the atoms cry aloud: 'Lo!\nThe Lord is come in His great majesty!' He Who is the\nFather is come and the Son (Jesus), in the holy vale, crieth\nout: 'Here am I, here am I, O Lord, My God!', whilst Sinai\ncircleth round the House, and the Burning Bush calleth\naloud: 'The All-Bounteous is come mounted upon the\nclouds! Blessed is he that draweth nigh unto Him, and woe\nbetide them that are far away.'\nArise thou amongst men in the name of this all-compelling\nCause, and summon, then, the nations unto\nGod, the Exalted, the Great.(9)\nDescribing the pre-eminent nature of His Revelation, Baha'u'llah writes:\nSay: This is an Announcement whereat the hearts of the\nProphets and Messengers have rejoiced. This is the One\nWhom the heart of the world remembereth and is promised\nin the Books of God, the Mighty, the All-Wise. The hands\nof the Messengers were, in their desire to meet Me, upraised\ntowards God, the Mighty, the Glorified... Some lamented\nin their separation from Me, others endured hardships in\nMy path, and still others laid down their lives for the sake of\nMy Beauty, could ye but know it. Say: I, verily, have not\nsought to extol Mine Own Self, but rather God Himself <p120>\nwere ye to judge fairly. Naught can be seen in Me except\nGod and His Cause, could ye but perceive it. I am the One\nWhom the tongue of Isaiah hath extolled, the One with\nWhose name both the Torah and the Evangel were adorned\n...(10)\nThe exhortations of Baha'u'llah fell on deaf ears. Unmoved by the proclamation of so mighty a message, Alexander II ruled over his country until 1881 when he was assassinated, and with the rise of Bolshevism in 1917 his dynasty was extinguished.\nThere is a passage in this Tablet in which Baha'u'llah refers to the Czar's supplication to God but does not reveal its details. He writes:\nWe, verily, have heard the thing for which thou didst\nsupplicate thy Lord, whilst secretly communing with Him.\nWherefore, the breeze of My loving-kindness wafted forth,\nand the sea of My Mercy surged, and We answered thee in\ntruth. Thy Lord, verily, is the All-Knowing, the All-Wise.(11)\nA certain believer Aqa Muhammad-Rahim, a native of Isfahan, was confronted with a question from a Russian Consul in Esterabad concerning the above passage. This is his story as recorded in the memoirs of Ustad 'Ali-Akbar-i-Banna[1] of Yazd.\nAqa Muhammad-Rahim became a believer at a time of\npersecutions and sufferings. But he did not become\ninhibited by opposition. He taught the Faith openly and as a\nresult some people embraced the Faith while others rose up\nin opposition, intent upon harming him, especially his\nfather who was bitterly against him. Eventually he had to <p121>\nforgo wealth and prosperity at home, and, detached from all\nearthly things, he migrated to Sabzivar (Province of\nKhurasan) where he worked for some time in the copper\nmines. Later, as a result of persecutions against the believers\nin Sabzivar he left for 'Ishqabad where he resided till the end\n[1 Ustad 'Ali-Akbar was an outstanding follower of Baha'u'llah who was martyred in Yazd in 1903. He lived for some years in 'Ishqabad and rendered notable services to the Faith. His memoirs deal mainly with the history of the Cause and the believers in 'Ishqabad. The Tablet of Tajalliyat was revealed in his honour. We shall refer to him in more detail in the next volume.]\nAqa Muhammad-Rahim was an accomplished teacher of the Faith as well as a writer. He visited 'Akka twice during the lifetime of Baha'u'llah and attained His presence. He told us the following story:\n'Before I went on my first pilgrimage to attain the Holy\nPresence of Baha'u'llah, a Russian Consul in Esterabad had\nintimated to an Armenian merchant that he would like to\nmeet a Baha'i from Sabzivar who could bring some Baha'i\nbooks for him. He had also offered to pay the expenses\ninvolved. The Armenian merchant gave this message to Haji\nMuhammad-Kazim, a merchant of Isfahan (a Baha'i). The\nHaji and other believers consulted together and decided that\nThe Armenian merchant wrote a letter of introduction to\nthe Consul which I took with me along with some Baha'i\nbooks. I travelled to Esterabad and two days later I went to\nthe Consul and handed him the letter. He invited me to stay\nat his home, which I did. We used to talk together in the\nevenings. He talked about some parts of the history of the\nFaith t at he knew, and I enlightened him on subjects that\nhe was not familiar with. One night he said to me: 'The main\npurpose in calling you here is to ask you the meaning of the\nfollowing passage which appears in Baha'u'llah's Tablet to\nthe Czar: \"We, verily have heard the thing for which thou\ndidst supplicate thy Lord, whilst secretly communing with\nHim. Wherefore, the breeze of My loving-kindness wafted\nforth, and the sea of My mercy surged, and We answered\nthee in truth. Thy Lord, verily, is the All-Knowing, the All-Wise.\"'\nWhat did the Czar ask in his prayer which was granted to\nhim? I did not know what to answer, so I said, 'God knows\nthat.' 'That is obvious,' he said, 'but how do you interpret\nthis passage?' I meditated for a little while on the subject and <p122>\ncame to the conclusion that kings don't ask anything from\nGod except victory in their conquests and defeat for their\nenemies... To reverse the situation after Russia's defeat in\nthe Crimean War, the Czar had prayed to God to make him\nvictorious in his fight against the Ottomans and to enable\nhim to conquer their cities. I conveyed all these thoughts to\nthe Consul and suggested that he ought to write a letter to\nthe Czar and inform him that his prayers would be\nanswered and that he should carry out his plans and\nAfter a few days he paid my travelling expenses and I\nreturned home. But in my heart I was apprehensive lest my\ninterpretation of the Tablet might have been incorrect. I was\nworried about this subject. Fear and hope dwelt together in\nmy heart until I travelled to 'Akka and arrived at the\nCaravanserai. It did not take very long before Mirza Aqa\nJan [Baha'u'llah's amanuensis] came to see me. Among\nother things he asked me: 'What things did you say to the\nRussian Consul?' I remained silent and became\napprehensive. An hour later Ghusn-i-Akbar [Mirza\nMuhammad-'Ali, the son of Baha'u'llah who later became\nthe Arch-Breaker of the Covenant of Baha'u'llah] came to\nvisit me. He also asked the same question. That added to my\nThe following morning, the Most Great Branch ['Abdu'l-Baha]\ncame. I felt obliged to tell Him the whole story\nexactly as it had happened and I confessed to the mistake I\nhad made in my statement. 'Abdu'l-Baha said to me, 'Be\nhappy and relieved, for the statement you have made was\nthe truth, because on a certain day the Blessed Beauty\nintimated that at that very moment someone was reading\nthe Tablet of the Czar. Then Baha'u'llah mentioned you.\nHe said, \"The Russian Consul asked one of Our servants\n'What was the prayer of the King?' The answer he received\nwas a correct one.\" Then He revealed your name, saying\n\"That person was Aqa Muhammad-Rahim-i-Isfahani.\"'[1] I\nthanked God for this and was very happy to hear it.\"(12)\n[1 These are not the exact words of Baha'u'llah or 'Abdu'l-Baha. They are the recollections of Aqa Muhammad-Rahim.] <p123>\nThese thoughts of Aqa Muhammad-Rahim, conveyed to the Russian Consul, refer to the war of 1877-8 between Russia and Turkey. The Czar went to war apparently to avenge the defeat of his father in the Crimean War. At first his armies made considerable progress and were moving toward Constantinople. Then their progress was halted by the Turks and many Russian soldiers were killed in the battles which followed. The Czar saw the prospect of defeat again, and Aqa Muhammad-Rahim thought this must have been the time that the Czar had turned to God in prayer beseeching His help. Baha'u'llah states in His Tablet that the Czar's prayers were answered.\nIt should be noted here that in the Suriy-i-Ra'is, revealed a few years before when He was on His way to 'Akka, Baha'u'llah had foretold the calamities which were to befall the Turkish Government and people as a punishment from God for the cruelties they had inflicted on Him and His disciples. And later, in the Kitab-i-Aqdas (The Most Holy Book), He made a further denunciation of the tyrannical regime in Turkey and prophesied its downfall.[1]\n[1 See below, pp. 151-2.]\nThe murder of Sultan 'Abdu'l-'Aziz in 1876 was the initial punishment, followed by the war of 1877-8 which brought victory to the Russians and set in motion the process of the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire. Adrianople was occupied by the Russians and no less than eleven million people were freed from the cruelties of that tyrannical regime.\nTablet to Queen Victoria\nA Tablet in Arabic replete with counsels and exhortations was addressed by Baha'u'llah to Queen Victoria. In it He proclaims the coming of the Lord in His great glory and summons her to His Cause:\nO Queen in London! Incline thine ear unto the voice of thy <p124>\nLord, the Lord of all mankind, calling from the Divine\nLote-Tree; Verily, no God is there but Me, the Almighty,\nthe All-Wise! Cast away all that is on earth, and attire the\nhead of thy kingdom with the crown of the remembrance of\nthy Lord, the All-Glorious. He, in truth, hath come unto\nthe world in His most great glory, and all that hath been\nmentioned in the Gospel hath been fulfilled... Lay aside\nthy desire, and set then thine heart towards thy Lord, the\nAncient of Days. We make mention of thee for the sake of\nGod, and desire that thy name may be exalted through thy\nremembrance of God, the Creator of earth and heaven. He,\nverily, is witness unto that which I say.(13)\nBaha'u'llah commends the Queen in this Tablet for having 'forbidden the trading in slaves' and for having 'entrusted the reins of counsel into the hands of the representatives of the people'. It should be noted here that Baha'u'llah in the Kitab-i-Aqdas, the Book of Laws, forbids the trading of slaves. He approves the system of government in which representatives of the people take part. In His Tablet to the Queen, Baha'u'llah exhorts the members of the British Parliament in these words:\nIt behoveth them [the members of the Parliament] however,\nto be trustworthy among His servants, and to regard\nthemselves as the representatives of all that dwell on earth.\nThis is what counselleth them, in this Tablet, He Who is the\nRuler, the All-Wise... Blessed is he that entereth the\nassembly for the sake of God, and judgeth between men\nwith pure justice. He, indeed is of the blissful...(14)\nWhat a great contrast between these sublime teachings, which constitute the distinguishing character of the future institutions of the Baha'i Commonwealth,[1] and the present political systems in which everyone fights for himself and his country to the exclusion of others!\n[1 For a study of the Baha'i World Commonwealth see The World Order of Baha'u'llah, pp. 161-206, and other writings of Shoghi Effendi.]\nThe fundamental teaching of the oneness of mankind, which <p125> is deeply rooted in the Faith of Baha'u'llah and the attainment of which, on a spiritual level, is promised by Him to take place in the fullness of time in the Golden Age of His Faith, plays a significant part in the attitudes and conduct of His followers in their daily lives. Such a universal outlook that all humanity is one, created by the same God through His love, transcends all other standards for a Baha'i.\nBaha'u'llah, in His Tablet to the Queen, has established this basic principle for the members of a Parliament. The exhortation that they ought to 'regard themselves as the representatives of all that dwell on earth' may be acceptable to some on moral grounds, but cannot be carried out in practice in a world so divided against itself, and its implementation may be looked upon as an impossibility by those who have not as yet recognized the divine origin of the Cause of Baha'u'llah. But those who have embraced His Faith and who are already witnessing the spirit of universal love practised in their local, national and international councils, entertain no doubt that as these embryonic institutions grow and develop to a point where they will be adopted as systems of government, the members of these councils the world over will have acquired such a universal outlook as to fully conform with Baha'u'llah's exhortation revealed in the above Tablet. It is then that the Most Great Peace referred to by Baha'u'llah will be established.\nOn World Unity\nIn the Tablet to the Queen Baha'u'llah counsels the rulers of the world to establish peace on earth. Then He makes this important statement:\nNow that ye have refused the Most Great Peace, hold ye fast\nunto this, the Lesser Peace, that haply ye may in some\ndegree better your own condition and that of your\ndependants.(15) <p126>\nAny unbiased observer who is willing to study the Writings of Baha'u'llah will come to the conclusion that each one of His teachings or counsels, revealed over a hundred years ago, has become part of the spirit of the age, especially those which deal with social aspects of the life of man on this planet. Unaware of the source of these teachings, humanity is increasingly being driven by forces beyond its control to uphold and enforce them.\nOne such teaching is the creation of the Lesser Peace which is a form of political peace. Its terms are to be concluded between the nations of the world and its aim to abolish global wars. Baha'is believe that since Baha'u'llah has advocated it, similar to the rest of His Teachings, the Lesser Peace will inevitably be established. The creative words of God uttered by Him will exert their influence in such a way that man will have no choice but to establish the Lesser Peace. Already man has built up such an arsenal of destructive weapons that he could wipe out the entire human race with them. Probably the Lesser Peace will come into being as a last resort and as a desperate measure to save humanity from total destruction.\nThe Lesser Peace, a political system, although vastly inferior to the Most Great Peace and far removed from the bounties and perfections inherent in the latter, is nevertheless an important milestone in the emergence of that glorious destiny of mankind prophesied by Baha'u'llah. Concerning the Most Great Peace, which may be regarded as synonymous with both the establishment of the Kingdom of God on Earth prophesied by Christ, and the Baha'i World Commonwealth, Shoghi Effendi writes:\nThe Most Great Peace, on the other hand, as conceived by\nBaha'u'llah--a peace that must inevitably follow as the\npractical consequence of the spiritualization of the world\nand the fusion of all its races, creeds, classes and nations--\ncan rest on no other basis, and can be preserved through no\nother agency, except the divinely appointed ordinances that\nare implicit in the World Order that stands associated with\nHis Holy Name.(16) <p127>\nWith the establishment of the Most Great Peace and the spiritualization of the peoples of the world, man will become a noble being adorned with divine virtues and perfections. This is one of the fruits of the Revelation of Baha'u'llah, promised by Him. The nobility of man and his spiritual development will lead him in the future to such a position that no individual could enjoy eating his food or resting at home while knowing that there was one person somewhere in the world without food or shelter. It is Baha'u'llah's mission to create such a new race of men.[1]\nIn His Tablet to the Queen, Baha'u'llah further counsels the elected representatives of the people throughout the world in these words:\nO ye the elected representatives of the people in every land!\nTake ye counsel together, and let your concern be only for\nthat which profiteth mankind, and bettereth the condition\nthereof, if ye be of them that scan heedfully. Regard the\nworld as the human body which, though at its creation\nwhole and perfect, hath been afflicted, through various\ncauses, with grave disorders and maladies. Not for one day\ndid it gain ease, nay its sickness waxed more severe, as it fell\nunder the treatment of ignorant physicians, who gave full\nrein to their personal desires, and have erred grievously.\nAnd if, at one time, through the care of an able physician, a\nmember of that body was healed, the rest remained afflicted\nas before. Thus informeth you the All-Knowing, the All-Wise.\nWe behold it, in this day, at the mercy of rulers so drunk\nwith pride that they cannot discern clearly their own best\nadvantage, much less recognize a Revelation so bewildering\nand challenging as this. And whenever any one of them hath\nstriven to improve its condition, his motive hath been his\nown gain, whether confessedly so or not; and the\nunworthiness of this motive hath limited his power to heal\nor cure.(17) <p128>\nOver one hundred years have now passed since these words were uttered by the Supreme Manifestation of God, the True Physician come to heal the ills of mankind. The world situation has dangerously deteriorated since these prophetic words were issued by Baha'u'llah. Only when mankind as a whole has recognized Baha'u'llah as the Divine Physician and has embraced His Faith will these words of His, addressed to Queen Victoria, be universally fulfilled:\nThat which the Lord hath ordained as the sovereign remedy\nand mightiest instrument for the healing of all the world is\nthe union of all its peoples in one universal Cause, one\ncommon Faith. This can in no wise be achieved except\nthrough the power of a skilled, an all-powerful and inspired\nPhysician. This, verily, is the truth, and all else naught but\nerror.(18)\nThe followers of Baha'u'llah, therefore, do not subscribe to the view, commonly held by the peoples of the world everywhere, that the grave problems besetting mankind may be resolved by administering the usual remedies which the minds of men are devising. They conscientiously believe that the appalling world conditions will not be totally improved by any scientific, economic or political measures, and that none of the expedient methods used during the past century, nor those that are currently being pursued, can succeed in healing the diseased body of mankind. A discerning unbiased person can also come to the same conclusion. For it is very clear that in spite of all the efforts being made by the generality of mankind, its rulers; and its wise men, to improve the world situation, and in spite of all their knowledge and accomplishments, the plight of humanity is worsening day by day.\nShoghi Effendi, as far back as 1931, wrote:\nHumanity, whether viewed in the light of man's individual\nconduct or in the existing relationships between organized\ncommunities and nations, has, alas, strayed too far and <p129>\nsuffered too great a decline to be redeemed through the\nunaided efforts of the best among its recognized rulers and\nstatesmen--however disinterested their motives, however\nconcerted their action, however unsparing in their zeal and\ndevotion to its cause. No scheme which the calculations of\nthe highest statesmanship may yet devise; no doctrine\nwhich the most distinguished exponents of economic\ntheory may hope to advance; no Principle which the most\nardent of moralists may strive to inculcate, can provide, in\nthe last resort, adequate foundations upon which the future i\nof a distracted world can be built.\nNo appeal for mutual tolerance which the worldly-wise\nmight raise, however compelling and insistent, can calm its\npassions or help restore its vigour. Nor would any general\nscheme of mere organized international cooperation, in\nwhatever sphere of human activity, however ingenious in\nconception, or extensive in scope, succeed in removing the\nroot cause of the evil that has so rudely upset the\nequilibrium of present-day society. Not even, I venture to\nassert, would the very act of devising the machinery\nrequired for the political and economic unification of the\nworld--a principle that has been increasingly advocated in\nrecent times--provide in itself the antidote against the\npoison that is steadily undermining the vigour of organized\npeoples and nations.\nWhat else, might we not confidently affirm, but the\nunreserved acceptance of the Divine Programme enunciated,\nwith such simplicity and force as far back as sixty\nyears ago, by Baha'u'llah, embodying in its essentials\nGod's divinely appointed scheme for the unification of\nmankind in this age, coupled with an indomitable\nconviction in the unfailing efficacy of each and all of its\nprovisions, is eventually capable of withstanding the forces\nof internal disintegration which, if unchecked, must needs\ncontinue to eat into the vitals of a despairing society. It is\ntowards this goal--the goal of a new World Order, Divine\nIn origin, all-embracing in scope, equitable in principle,\nchallenging in its features--that a harassed humanity must\nstrive. <p130>\nTo claim to have grasped all the implications of\nBaha'u'llah's prodigious scheme for world-wide human\nsolidarity, or to have fathomed its import, would be\npresumptuous on the part of even the declared supporters of\nHis Faith. To attempt to visualize it in all its possibilities, to\nestimate its future benefits, to picture its glory, would be\npremature at even so advanced a stage in the evolution of\nmankind.(19)\nWorld unity as envisaged by Baha'u'llah does not consist merely of a system m which humanity enjoys political unity and the sharing of the resources of the world equitably among its peoples and nations. It goes much further than that. The unity described by Baha'u'llah in His Writings is the unity of hearts, and this can only be realized when mankind recognizes the Manifestation of God for this age and turns to Him as a focal point, believing in His words that everyone has been created by the same God, and obeying His commandment to love all human beings.\nThe following statement by Baha'u'llah is the key to world unity:\nWe fain would hope that the people of Baha may be guided\nby the blessed words: 'Say: All things are of God.' This\nexalted utterance is like unto water for quenching the fire of\nhate and enmity which smouldereth within the hearts and\nbreasts of men. By this single utterance contending peoples\nand kindreds will attain the light of true unity. Verily He\nspeaketh the truth and leadeth the way. He is the All-Powerful,\nthe Exalted, the Gracious.(20)\nHistory has shown that the words and teachings of the Manifestations of God are creative. They are endowed with such potency that they penetrate into the hearts and move the people to obey them. Indeed, the greatest mission of every Manifestation of God during His own Dispensation has been to release such spiritual forces into the world as to revitalize all those who turn to Him. But the words of men, no matter how <p131> exalted they may be, are incapable of influencing the hearts of people and making them united.\nThe coming of a Manifestation of God is very similar to the appearance of springtime in nature. The rays of the sun and the vernal showers of that season give new life to the physical world. The fruits appear in the summer as a result of the life-giving forces of the spring. Then winter follows, and nature becomes dormant and cold. When the next spring arrives, the same process is repeated again.\nThe coming of the Manifestations of God follows the same pattern. Each time they appear they give spiritual life to the body of mankind. But each one has a Dispensation, a specific period during which His teachings revive humanity and impart to it the impulses which cause its progress. Then comes decline, leading to the end, when the teachings of that particular religion lose their influence altogether. It is after such a stage that God sends a new messenger to mankind to release fresh spiritual forces for its regeneration. And the teachings are designed in accordance with the conditions of the new age.\nThe teachings of God in this day, revealed by Baha'u'llah, revolve around unity, and it is to this goal that a disconsolate humanity is striving. But with all his resources and capabilities, man is helpless to establish a lasting peace among the warring nations and peoples of the world. This in spite of the fact that humanity has advanced enormously in many fields of knowledge and has within its ranks brilliant men and women who have produced great achievements in almost every aspect of life on this planet. But one thing they have proved themselves to be incapable of--namely to unite the hearts of men who are each other's enemy, and make them love one another.\nReferring to the unity established among the warring tribes of Arabia, the Qur'an states:\nIt is he [God] who hath strengthened thee with his help, and <p132>\nwith that of the faithful: and hath united their hearts. If thou\nhadst expended whatever riches are in the earth, thou\ncouldst not have united their hearts, but God united them;\nfor he is mighty and wise.(21)\nA cursory study of the nature and composition of the world-wide Baha'i Community can demonstrate the supernatural influence of the words of Baha'u'llah in bringing unity to the hearts of millions of people of diverse origins, people who come From every conceivable background, in all parts of the world. The unity which binds the members of this multi-racial, world-encircling community is inspired not by a desire for friendship or other expedient reasons. It is generated through the knowledge of the advent of a universal Manifestation of God[1] in this age, and submission to His commandments. When the individual recognizes Baha'u'llah as the Mouthpiece of God in this age, he can then easily accept and carry out His teachings, relinquish all kinds of age-long prejudices which have divided mankind, and replace them with an all-embracing love for every human being. This is similar to the transforming influence of the words of Christ which inspired the Christians to turn the other cheek in the early days of Christianity.\n[1 See vol. 1, p. 309.] <p133>\nSuriy-i-Haykal\nOne of the most momentous of the Writings of Baha'u'llah is the Suriy-i-Haykal or Suratu'l-Haykal (Surih of the Temple). Baha'u'llah ordered the Surih and the Tablets to the Kings to be copied in the form of a pentacle symbolizing the human temple. The Tablets were copied in the following order: the Suriy-i-Haykal itself, then the Tablet to Pope Pius IX, the Tablet to Napoleon III, the Tablet to Czar Alexander II, the Tablet to Queen Victoria and the Tablet to Nasiri'd-Din Shah. Associating this with the prophecy of Zechariah in the Old Testament, Baha'u'llah concludes the Suriy-i-Haykal with these words:\nThus have We built the Temple with the hands of power and\nmight, could ye but know it. This is the Temple promised\nunto you in the Book. Draw ye nigh unto it. This is that\nwhich profiteth you, could ye but comprehend it. Be fair, O\npeoples of the earth! Which is preferable, this, or a temple\nwhich is built of clay? Set your faces towards it. Thus have\nye been commanded by God, the Help in Peril, the Self-Subsisting.\nFollow ye His bidding, and praise ye God, your\nLord, for that which He hath bestowed upon you. He\nverily, is the Truth. No God is there but He. He revealeth\nwhat He pleaseth, through His Words 'Be and it is.'(1)\nThroughout the Tablet, the Pen of the Most High addresses the Haykal (Temple) and reveals the glory and majesty with which it is invested. In answer to a question, Baha'u'llah has stated[2] that the Haykal which is addressed in this Surih is the Person of Baha'u'llah, and so is the voice which addresses the <p134> Haykal. It is fascinating to know that the One Who speaks with the voice of God in this Tablet is identical with the One spoken to.\nIn this Surih it is stated that the Haykal has been made a mirror to reflect the sovereignty of God and to manifest His Beauty and Grandeur to all mankind. It has been given the power to do whatsoever It desires. Oceans of knowledge and utterance have been placed within Its heart, and It has been made the Manifestation of God's own Self for all who are in heaven and on earth.\nSpeaking in this Surih of the transcendent glory with which the Haykal is invested, Baha'u'llah states:\nNaught is seen in My temple but the Temple of God and in\nMy beauty but His Beauty, and in My being but His Being,\nand in My self but His Self, and in My movement but His\nMovement and in My acquiescence but His Acquiescence,\nand in My pen but His Pen, the Mighty, the All-Praised.\nThere hath not been in My soul but the Truth, and in Myself\nnaught could be seen but God.(3)\nTo fully appreciate the majesty and power of this outstanding work of Baha'u'llah in the absence of a translation is impossible. Suffice it to say that every time He addresses the Haykal He unveils a new facet of God's Revelation, as if opening a new door leading to some mystery enshrined in His Writings, a mystery hitherto hidden from the eyes of men. If the pure in heart is enabled to have just a glimpse of this infinite realm of divine Revelation which is beyond his comprehension, such a glimpse can endow his soul with an insight which no human agency can ever hope to confer upon it. In one of His Tablets referring to the vastness and richness of His Revelation, Baha'u'llah states:\n... immerse yourselves in this Ocean in whose depths lay\nhidden the pearls of wisdom and of utterance...(4)\nThese words of Baha'u'llah become a reality when the <p135> believer, in a state of detachment from this world, meditates upon the verses of the Suriy-i-Haykal. For he will find many such pearls hidden within its verses. The concept of the Haykal (Temple), in the form of the human temple and representing the Person of Baha'u'llah, in itself invokes many thoughts and opens many doors to a deeper understanding of His Revelation. Whereas the human temple is made of flesh and bone, the Haykal is constituted of the Word of God. It is portrayed vividly by Baha'u'llah in this celebrated Surih, and He adds more mystery and realism to it when He addresses some limbs and organs of that Temple as well as the letters (H, Y, K, and L) which constitute the word.\nEvery word and letter uttered by the Manifestation of God assumes meaning and significance beyond the understanding of man. For example, there are lengthy Tablets revealed by the Bab and Baha'u'llah explaining the meaning of only one letter mentioned in the Holy Books of older religions. We have already given examples of this in a previous volume.[1] In the Suriy-i-Haykal, Baha'u'llah reveals the significance of the letters which form the word 'Haykal', and the potentialities with which each one has been invested by God. It is difficult to convey these without having access to the words of Baha'u'llah. Baha'u'llah states that the Haykal is the source of the creation of the new race of men, that through each one of its letters, God will raise up wonderful beings whose numbers are known to none except Him and whose faces will shine with the radiance of their Lord. These souls will circle around the Cause of God as a shadow moves around the sun. They will protect the Faith from the onslaught of the deniers and will offer up their lives willingly for the promotion of His Cause among men. This Tablet is replete with glad-tidings of the appearance of a band of devoted believers whom Baha'u'llah refers to as the new race of men. These words are revealed in the Suriy-i-Haykal:\nThe day is approaching when God will have, by an act of\nHis Will, raised up a race of men the nature of which is\ninscrutable to all save God, the All-Powerful, The Self-Subsisting.(5)\nBaha'u'llah exhorts the eye of the Haykal not to gaze upon the world of creation but to focus only upon the beauty of His Lord. He promises the advent of a day when He will have created, through this eye, people of penetrating insight who will see the signs and tokens of His Revelation with a vision bestowed upon them through His bounty and favour.\nTo the ear of the Haykal, Baha'u'llah gives counsel to become deaf to the voices of the ungodly and to listen to the melodies of His Revelation. Again, He states that through this ear He will create a race of men with ears purified and worthy to hear the Word of God as revealed by Him in this day.\nThe tongue of the Haykal is also addressed in the same vein--it has been created to mention the name of God and celebrate His praise. He gives the joyous tidings that through the creation of this tongue, God will raise up souls who will conquer the hearts of men through the power of their utterance and the sway of their word.\nBaha'u'llah calls on the Haykal to stretch out its hands upon all the dwellers of earth and heaven, and to hold within its grasp the reins of the Cause of God. He prophesies that through these hands, He will soon create hands of power and might through whom God will reveal His omnipotence and ascendancy to all the peoples of the world. Concerning these hands Baha'u'llah reveals in the Surih:\nHe will, ere long, out of the Bosom of Power draw forth the\nHands of Ascendancy and Might--Hands who will arise to\nwin victory for this Youth and who will purge mankind\nfrom the defilement of the outcast and the ungodly. These\nHands will gird up their loins to champion the Faith of God,\nand will, in My name the self-subsistent, the mighty, subdue\nthe peoples and kindreds of the earth.(6) <p137>\nThe heart of the Haykal, Baha'u'llah states, is the source of\nall knowledge. Of this knowledge He declares:\nWithin the treasury of Our Wisdom there lies unrevealed a\nknowledge, one word of which, if we chose to divulge it to\nmankind, would cause every human being to recognize the\nManifestation of God and to acknowledge His omniscience,\nwould enable every one to discover the secrets of all the\nsciences, and to attain so high a station as to find himself\nwholly independent of all past and future learning. Other\nknowledges We do as well possess, not a single letter of\nwhich We can disclose, nor do We find humanity able to\nhear even the barest reference to their meaning. Thus have\nWe informed you of the Knowledge of God, the All-Knowing,\nthe All-Wise.(7)\nBaha'u'llah affirms that through the outpouring of knowledge from the heart of the Haykal, He will soon raise up scientists of great calibre who will bring about such marvellous technological achievements that no one can as yet imagine them. This prophecy of Baha'u'llah has already been fulfilled--and this is only the beginning. We have previously stated[1] that the Revelation of the Bab ushered in a new era in the fields of science and technology, especially in communications, to prepare the way for the coming of Baha'u'llah. His Message being for all mankind, it is only logical that the same God who has revealed it would also create the means for its universal propagation, so that the news of the coming of Baha'u'llah might reach every part of the world.\nThe technological developments which have taken place in the field of communications since the advent of the Bab bear ample testimony to this. As the Faith of Baha'u'llah grew, the means of communication kept pace with it. During the early days of Baha'u'llah's ministry, His disciples had to travel mainly on foot or by donkey and mule to teach the Faith, but it did not take very long until some began to travel by steamship. <p138> They took His Message to India and other countries in this way.\nSoon after the passing of Baha'u'llah, the time had come for the expansion of the Faith throughout the world, especially the West, but the pace was still slow. When 'Abdu'l-Baha Journeyed to the West, He travelled by steamship, railway and automobile. The Baha'i communities in those days were, for the most part, isolated from each other and movement was slow. But today the Baha'i community is engaged in enormous teaching activity covering the whole world. Wherever there is freedom of religion they are bringing the message of Baha'u'llah to the notice of their countrymen and consequently more people embrace the Faith. Hundreds of national and international teaching projects, and administrative functions involving peoples of all nations and races, are carried out in the five continents of the globe. All these activities are made possible by using the fast and marvellous system of communications which has become available in recent times. The Baha'is believe that this is no coincidence: that God, having called the peoples of the world to unity through the message of Baha'u'llah, has also provided the means by which that unity may be established. In the meantime, humanity benefits without realizing why these marvellous inventions have come about.\nThose, who are unfamiliar with the Faith or have not recognized the station of Baha'u'llah will no doubt view with scepticism the argument that the advent of the modern communications system is primarily due to the appearance of a universal religion in the world. It seems far-fetched and unacceptable. But in surveying the progress of their Faith, the followers of Baha'u'llah have seen that whenever the propagation of the Faith or the building of its Administrative Order[1] needed some new material means, they were miraculously provided in time. Some of the new inventions <p139> which have played a vital part in the development of the Faith have come about just in time to serve a particular need. To cite one example of many: Baha'u'llah revealed many Tablets, Epistles and Books which, if compiled, would produce about one hundred volumes. 'Abdu'l-Baha's writings are no less in range. The Writings of Baha'u'llah and 'Abdu'l-Baha contain, among other things, teachings both spiritual and social, laws, exhortations and explanations about many subjects including man, the purpose of his life and his relationship to God. Added to these are the voluminous writings of Shoghi Effendi, the Guardian of the Faith. In addition to his famous works, he has written no less than twenty-six thousand letters, some of them so lengthy that they warranted being printed in the form of a book. His writings contain invaluable guidance which, as the authorized Interpreter of the Words of Baha'u'llah, he has given to the Baha'i world. It can be seen therefore that the Baha'i Holy Writings are enormous in range and contain matters of vital interest for all humanity.\n[1 See the writings of Shoghi Effendi for an appreciation of the Administrative Order of Baha'u'llah.]\nWhen the Universal House of Justice, the supreme governing body of the Baha'i community, came into being in 1963, one of the most essential needs was the collating of all the Writings of the Central Figures of the Faith and the making of a comprehensive index of all the subjects they contained. This was a vital necessity for the supreme institution of the Faith which had to have access to each and every subject recorded in these Writings, so that it could guide the Baha'i community in accordance with the teachings of Baha'u'llah, and also legislate whenever feasible on matters which are not explicitly mentioned in these Writings.\nUp until the formation of the Universal House of Justice, it was impossible even to attempt to make this comprehensive index. Such a colossal undertaking, involving the provision of a detailed list of every subject within such a vast range of writings, would not have been a practical proposition given the small size of the Baha'i community because of the non-existence of technological aids at that time. The invention of <p14O> these aids, such as photocopiers and electronic processors, and their commercial use, were almost synchronized with the birth of the Supreme Body of the Faith of Baha'u'llah. And soon this vital task was undertaken. Had it not been for this timely development, insignificant as it may seem today, it is difficult to imagine how the Universal House of Justice could have discharged its sacred functions in the Baha'i world effectively, bearing in mind that prior to taking every major decision, the Supreme Body has to refer to the Writings of Baha'u'llah, 'Abdu'l-Baha and Shoghi Effendi and take into consideration their words which have a bearing on the subject.\nIndeed, as the believers play their part in the propagation and consolidation of the Cause of Baha'u'llah, God provides the means for its progress and eventual establishment as a world religion for all mankind. Both the constructive and destructive forces in the world assist in its promotion. The process of the breaking up of the old order is in itself a positive step, paving the way for the spreading of the new.\nOn the other hand, through the transforming power of the Revelation of Baha'u'llah, God is creating a new race of men who arise to champion His Cause. Through the sacrificial outpourings of their substance and resources, they attract the spiritual forces which together with all the material aids sent down by Providence, propel the Cause of God forward.\nBaha'u'llah in the Suriy-i-Haykal rebukes the people of the Bayan[1] for their blindness to His Revelation in spite of the fact that the Bab had nurtured and prepared them for His Coming. He identifies Himself with the Bab in the Suriy-i-Haykal when He addresses the Babis:\n[1 The followers of the Bab. However, the term 'people of the Bayan here applies to followers of the Bab who did not embrace the Cause of Baha'u'llah.]\nHad the Primal Point (The Bab) been someone else beside\nMe as ye claim, and had attained My presence, verily He <p141>\nwould have never allowed Himself to be separated from Me,\nbut rather We would have had mutual delights with each\nother in My Days.(8)\nBaha'u'llah in the Surih expatiates on His sufferings at the hands of the breakers of the Covenant of the Bab, those who denied His trust and turned away from His Cause. He describes how he had chosen one of his brothers, Mirza Yahya, showered upon him a sprinkling from the Ocean of His Knowledge, clothed him with the ornament of a name, and exalted him to such a station that all the believers turned to him in devotion and protected him from every tribulation.[1] Yet when Mirza Yahya witnessed the ascendancy of the Bearer of the Message of God for this age, he rose up against Him, attempted to take His life and repudiated His Cause. In a challenging tone Baha'u'llah declares that if the followers of Mirza Yahya did not turn to Him [Baha'u'llah] and lend their support, God would assist Him with His supreme Hosts, both visible and invisible, and would assuredly raise up a new race of men who would champion His Cause and make Him victorious in the end.\n[1 See vols. 1 and 2. The title 'Subh-i-Azal' (The Morn of Eternity) was conferred upon Mirza Yahya. He was nominated by the Bab as head of the Babi community.]\nBaha'u'llah in the Suriy-i-Haykal reveals that the power of God is beyond the comprehension of man. Through this power all created things have come into being. If it be His will, He can in one instant take life from everything and in another bestow a new life upon it. These are His Own Words:\nIt is in Our power, should We wish it, to enable a speck of\nfloating dust to generate, in less than the twinkling of an eye,\nsuns of infinite, of unimaginable splendour, to cause a\ndewdrop to develop into vast and numberless oceans, to\nInfuse into every letter such a force as to empower it to\nunfold all the knowledge of past and future ages.(9) <p142>\nHe further explains that created things may be likened to the leaves of a tree which derive their sustenance and life from the root but outwardly seem to be flourishing independently of it. It is in the Suriy-i-Haykal that, while admonishing the people for their perversity and blindness to His revelation, Baha'u'llah refers to the Manifestation of God who will come after Him.[1] These are His words:\n[1 According to the text of the Kitab-i-Aqdas (Baha'u'llah's Most Holy Book) the next Manifestation of God will not appear before the lapse of at least a thousand years.]\nBy those words which I have revealed, Myself is not\nintended, but rather He Who will come after Me. To it is\nwitness God, the All-Knowing... Deal not with Him as ye\nhave dealt with Me.(10)\nThere is no doubt that this passage refers to the Manifestation of God who comes after Baha'u'llah, since Shoghi Effendi has confirmed this in His writings.[1] There is a similar passage revealed in another Tablet concerning the next Manifestation of God:\n[1 See Dispensation, p. 117.]\nI am not apprehensive for My own self, My fears are for Him\nWho will be sent down unto you after Me--Him Who will\nbe invested with great sovereignty and mighty dominion.'(11)\nHowever, the following passage from the Writings of Baha'u'llah, which sounds similar to the passages quoted above, relates to the person of 'Abdu'l-Baha:\nBy God, O people! Mine eye weepeth, and the eye of 'Ali\n(the Bab) weepeth amongst the Concourse on high, and\nMine heart crieth out, and the heart of Muhammad crieth\nout within the Most Glorious Tabernacle, and My soul\nshouteth and the souls of the Prophets shout before them\nthat are endued with understanding... My sorrow is not for\nmyself, but for Him Who shall come after Me, in the shadow <p143>\nof My Cause, with manifest and undoubted sovereignty,\ninasmuch as they will not welcome His appearance, will\nrepudiate His signs, will dispute His sovereignty, will\ncontend with Him, and will betray His Cause...(12)\nIn the Writings of Baha'u'llah there are references to the symbolic appearance of the Maid of Heaven to Him.[1] In the Suriy-i-Haykal He describes in a fascinating manner the proclamation of His mission by the Maiden symbolizing the 'Most Great Spirit' which animated Him throughout His Ministry. This is how He reveals the descent of this mysterious Spirit upon Himself:\nWhile engulfed in tribulations I heard a most wondrous, a\nmost sweet voice, calling above My head. Turning My face, I\nbeheld a Maiden--the embodiment of the remembrance of\nthe name of My Lord--suspended in the air before Me. So\nrejoiced was she in her very soul that her countenance shone\nwith the ornament of the good-pleasure of God, and her\ncheeks glowed with the brightness of the All-Merciful.\nBetwixt earth and heaven she was raising a call which\ncaptivated the hearts and minds of men. She was imparting\nto both My inward and outer being tidings which rejoiced\nMy soul, and the souls of God's honoured servants.:\nPointing with her finger unto My head, she addressed all\nwho are in heaven and all who are on earth, saying: 'By God!\nThis is the Best-Beloved of the worlds, and yet ye\ncomprehend not. This is the Beauty of God amongst you,\nand the power of His sovereignty within you, could ye but\nunderstand. This is the Mystery of God and His Treasure,\nthe Cause of God and His glory unto all who are in the\nkingdoms of Revelation and of creation, if ye be of them that J\nperceive.'(13)\nIt is impossible for man to understand the nature of the Manifestations of God and the spirit which motivates them. Just as it is impossible for a creature in the animal kingdom to <p144> appreciate the nature of man, so it is beyond the capacity of a human being to grasp the inner reality of God's Messengers, for they abide in a spiritual realm far above the reach of men. In former Dispensations the Holy Spirit manifested itself to the Founders of the great world religions and enabled them to reveal the teachings of God to humanity. But a human being can never understand nor experience this. In order to convey to his followers that He was animated by the power of God, each Manifestation of God has spoken in symbolic language concerning the appearance of the Holy Spirit to Him. In the Holy Writings of former religions we read how Moses heard the voice of God through the Burning Bush or how the Dove descended upon Christ or how Muhammad received His Revelation through the Angel Gabriel. All these are different symbols of the same entity, the Holy Spirit, which acts as an intermediary between God and His Manifestations. This link is similar to the rays of the sun by which energy is transmitted to the planets. Baha'u'llah, being the Supreme Manifestation of God,[1] whose advent has been hailed in the Heavenly Books as the advent of the Day of God Himself,[2] has stated in some of His Tablets that the Holy Spirit was created through one word of His. And in the Suriy-i-Haykal He declares:\n[2 See vol. 1, pp. 64, 236-8.]\nThe Holy Spirit Itself hath been generated through the\nagency of a single letter revealed by this Most Great Spirit, if\nye be of them that comprehend.(14)\nIn His Writings, Baha'u'llah has indicated that whereas in past Dispensations the Prophets and Messengers of God received their Revelation through an intermediary, in this Dispensation the voice of God may be heard directly from the Person of Baha'u'llah. Affirming this in one of His Tablets,[15] Baha'u'llah states that the same voice which Moses heard through the Burning Bush may be heard directly from Baha'u'llah in this Day. <p145>\nIn reading such statements, however, one may be erroneously led to think that Baha'u'llah is identifying Himself with the Godhead. Such a conclusion is due to our lack of understanding of the infinite Realms of God. Our minds are limited, while the world of the Manifestations of God is beyond our capacity to appreciate. Baha'u'llah has clearly stated that God in His essence is unknowable and inaccessible to all, including His Manifestations. In one of His prayers Baha'u'llah describes His relationship with God in these words:\nWhen I contemplate, O my God, the relationship that\nbindeth me to Thee, I am moved to proclaim to all created\nthings 'verily I am God!'; and when I consider my own self,\nlo, I find it coarser than clay!(16)\nThe station of Baha'u'llah is that of the Supreme Manifestation of God. Only by reading His own words and meditating on them in a prayerful attitude may we be enabled to acquire a limited understanding of His divine powers and attributes, Whom Shoghi Effendi describes as 'transcendental in His majesty, serene, awe-inspiring, unapproachably glorious'.(17)\nThe Suriy-i-Haykal contains many challenging themes. Every line is charged with enormous power and every subject is indicative of the greatness of the Cause of Baha'u'llah, such greatness that sometimes it staggers the imagination.\nAlthough extensive parts of the Tablets which are added to the Surih have been translated into English by Shoghi Effendi and published, only a few passages from the Surih itself have been translated. We have already included most of them in this account, and quote the following in conclusion:\nThe onrushing winds of the grace of God have passed over\nall things. Every creature hath been endowed with all the\npotentialities it can carry. And yet the peoples of the world\nhave denied this grace! Every tree hath been endowed with <p146>\nthe choicest fruits, every ocean enriched with the most\nluminous gems. Man, himself, hath been invested with the\ngifts of understanding and knowledge. The whole creation\nhath been made the recipient of the revelation of the All-Merciful,\nand the earth the repository of things inscrutable\nto all except God, the Truth, the Knower of things unseen.\nThe time is approaching when every created thing will have\ncast its burden. Glorified be God Who hath vouchsafed this\ngrace that encompasseth all things, whether seen or\nunseen!(18) <p147>\nKings and Ecclesiastics\nThe proclamation of the message of Baha'u'llah to the kings and rulers of the world had been initiated in Constantinople when He issued His first Tablet to Sultan 'Abdu'l-Aziz of Turkey. It reached its climax in Adrianople with the revelation of the Suriy-i-Muluk (Surih of the Kings), a lengthy Epistle addressed to the kings collectively. It continued with the Tablets which form part of the Suriy-i-Haykal, and it was completed by the revelation of the Kitab-i-Aqdas in the course of the first few years of Baha'u'llah's imprisonment in 'Akka. Kings Addressed in the Kitab-i-Aqdas.\nThe Kitab-i-Aqdas, designated by Baha'u'llah as the 'unerring Balance', is the Mother Book of His Dispensation. It is more fully discussed in Chapters 13-17 of this volume. But it is significant that in this Book also Baha'u'llah addressed the kings, rulers and ecclesiastical leaders collectively, and some individually.\nThese are some passages gleaned from the Kitab-i-Aqdas in which Baha'u'llah's majestic utterances are directed to the rulers of the world, summoning them to His Cause.\nO kings of the earth! He Who is the sovereign Lord of all is\ncome. The Kingdom is God's, the omnipotent Protector,\nthe Self-Subsisting. Worship none but God, and, with\nradiant hearts, lift up your faces unto your Lord, the Lord of\nall names. This is a Revelation to which whatever ye possess\ncan never be compared, could ye but know it.\nWe see you rejoicing in that which ye have amassed for <p148>\nothers and shutting out yourselves from the worlds which\nnaught except My guarded Tablet can reckon. The treasures\nye have laid up have drawn you far away from your ultimate\nobjective. This ill beseemeth you, could ye but understand\nit. Wash from your hearts all earthly defilements, and hasten\nto enter the Kingdom of your Lord, the Creator of earth and\nheaven, Who caused the world to tremble and all its peoples\nto wail, except them that have renounced all things and clung\nto that which the Hidden Tablet hath ordained... O kings\nof the earth! The Most Great Law hath been revealed in this\nSpot, this scene of transcendent splendour. Every hidden\nthing hath been brought to light, by virtue of the Will of the\nSupreme Ordainer, He Who hath ushered in the Last Hour\nthrough Whom the Moon hath been cleft, and every\nirrevocable decree expounded.\nYe are but vassals, O kings of the earth! He Who is the\nKing of Kings hath appeared, arrayed in His most wondrous\nglory, and is summoning you unto Himself, the Help in\nPeril, the Self-Subsisting. Take heed lest pride deter you\nfrom recognizing the Source of Revelation, lest the things of\nthis world shut you out as by a veil from Him Who is the\nCreator of heaven. Arise, and serve Him Who is the Desire\nof all nations, Who hath created you through a word from\nHim, and ordained you to be, for all time, the emblems of\nBy the righteousness of God! It is not Our wish to lay\nhands on your kingdoms. Our mission is to seize and\npossess the hearts of men. Upon them the eyes of Baha are\nfastened. To this testifieth the Kingdom of Names, could ye\nbut comprehend it. Whoso followeth his Lord, will\nrenounce the world and all that is therein; how much\ngreater, then, must be the detachment of Him Who holdeth\nso august a station! Forsake your palaces, and haste ye to\ngain admittance into His Kingdom. This, indeed, will profit\nyou both in this world and in the next. To this testifieth the\nLord of the realm on high, did ye but know it.'(1)\nTo Kaiser William I, Emperor of Germany, Baha'u'llah addressed these words in the Kitab-i-Aqdas: <p149>\nSay: O King of Berlin! Give ear unto the Voice calling from\nthis manifest Temple: Verily, there is none other God but\nMe, the Everlasting, the Peerless, the Ancient of Days. Take\nheed lest pride debar thee from recognizing the Dayspring\nof Divine Revelation, lest earthly desires shut thee out, as by\na veil, from the Lord of the Throne above and of the earth\nbelow. Thus counselleth thee the Pen of the Most High. He,\nverily, is the Most Gracious, the All-Bountiful. Do thou\nremember the one whose power transcended thy power, and\nwhose station excelled thy station. Where is he? Whither are\ngone the things he possessed? Take warning, and be not of\nthem that are fast asleep. He it was who cast the Tablet of\nGod behind him, when We made known unto him what the\nhosts of tyranny had caused Us to suffer. Wherefore,\ndisgrace assailed him from all sides, and he went down to\ndust in great loss. Think deeply, O King, concerning him,\nand concerning them who, like unto thee, have conquered\ncities and ruled over men. The All-Merciful brought them\ndown from their palaces to their graves. Be warned, be of\nthem who reflect.\nWe have asked nothing from you. For the sake of God\nWe, verily, exhort you, and will be patient as We have been\npatient in that which hath befallen Us at your hands, O\nconcourse of kings!(2)\nIn the above passages, Baha'u'llah refers to Napoleon III as the 'one whose power transcended thy power', and summons the Emperor to heed His call. But it was a call which remained unheeded.\nThe decline in the fortunes of William I and of his grandson William II was then set in motion, culminating in the dissolution of his Empire and the establishment of the Republic. In another passage in the same Book, Baha'u'llah reveals this remarkable prophecy which now after two World Wars is clearly seen to be fulfilled:\nO banks of the Rhine! We have seen you covered with gore,\ninasmuch as the swords of retribution were drawn against <p150>\nyou; and you shall have another turn. And We hear the\nlamentations of Berlin, though she be today in conspicuous\nglory.(3)\nAnother King addressed in a tone of rebuke in the Kitab-i-Aqdas was the Hapsburg monarch, Francis Joseph, Emperor of Austria and King of Hungary. He visited Jerusalem when Baha'u'llah was in 'Akka. With these words Baha'u'llah admonishes the Emperor:\nO Emperor of Austria! He Who is the Dayspring of God's\nLight dwelt in the prison of 'Akka, at the time when thou\ndidst set forth to visit the Aqsa Mosque.[1] Thou passed Him\nby, and inquired not about Him, by Whom every house is\nexalted, and every lofty gate unlocked. We, verily, made it[1] a\nplace whereunto the world should turn, that they might\nremember Me, and yet thou hast rejected Him Who is the\nObject of this remembrance, when He appeared with the\nKingdom of God, thy Lord and the Lord of the worlds. We\nhave been with thee at all times, and found thee clinging unto\nthe Branch and heedless of the Root. Thy Lord, verily, is a\nwitness unto what I say. We grieved to see thee circle round\nOur Name, whilst unaware of Us, though We were before\nthy face. Open thine eyes, that thou mayest behold this\nglorious Vision, and recognize Him Whom thou invokest in\nthe daytime and in the night season, and gaze on the Light\nthat shineth above this luminous Horizon.[4]\n[1 Jerusalem.]\nSoon after the revelation of these words, repeated tragedies and disasters involving the members of the royal family brought much gloom to the Emperor's reign. These were only precursors to the final dissolution of a dynasty which had lasted for almost five hundred years, and the dismemberment of a mighty empire.\nAnother Kingdom which Baha'u'llah repeatedly condemned was that of Turkey. As has already been stated[1] He had warned <p151> and severely condemned its rulers since His days in Constantinople.\n[1 Vol. 2, p. 58.]\nThese are some of the prophetic words of Baha'u'llah revealed in the Suriy-i-Ra'is:\nHearken, O Chief... to the Voice of God, the Sovereign,\nthe Help in Peril, the Self-Subsisting... Thou hast, O\nChief, committed that which hath made Muhammad, the\nApostle of God, groan in the Most Exalted Paradise. The\nworld hath made thee proud so much so that thou hast\nturned away from the Face through Whose brightness the\nConcourse on high hath been illumined. Soon thou shalt\nfind thyself in evident loss... The day is approaching when\nthe Land of Mystery (Adrianople) and what is beside it shall\nbe changed, and shall pass out of the hands of the King, and\ncommotions shall appear, and the voice of lamentation shall\nbe raised, and the evidences of mischief shall be revealed on\nall sides, and confusion shall spread by reason of that which\nhath befallen these captives at the hands of the hosts of\noppression. The course of things shall be altered, and\nconditions shall wax so grievous, that the very sands on the\ndesolate hills will moan, and the trees on the mountain will\nweep, and blood will flow out of all things. Then wilt thou\nbehold the people in sore distress.([5)\nNow, in the Kitab-i-Aqdas, after the revelation of the Lawh-i-Fu'ad in which He clearly prophesied the Sultan's extinction,[1] Baha'u'llah reveals these prophetic words:\n[1 See above, p. 87.]\nO Spot[1] that are situate on the shores of the two seas! The\nthrone of tyranny hath, verily, been established upon thee,\nand the flame of hatred hath been kindled within thy bosom,\nin such wise that the Concourse on high and they who circle\naround the Exalted Throne have wailed and lamented. We\nbehold in thee the foolish ruling over the wise, and darkness\nvaunting itself against the light. Thou art indeed filled with\nmanifest pride. Hath thine outward splendour made thee <p152>\nvainglorious? By Him Who is the Lord of mankind! It shall\nsoon perish, and thy daughters and thy widows and all the\nkindreds that dwell within thee shall lament. Thus\ninformeth thee the All-Knowing, the All-Wise.(6)\n[1 Constantinople.]\nThe downfall of Sultan 'Abdu'l-'Aziz, the end of his shameful reign and that of his successors, the extinction of a dynasty which had lasted for six and a half centuries, the dismemberment of an empire which had once stretched as far as Hungary in Europe to the Caspian Sea in Asia and to Oran in Africa, and above all the collapse of the Caliphate, the most powerful institution in Islam--all these took place in that short period of time after the 'Prisoner of 'Akka' had issued His clear warnings of the dire retributive calamities which were to descend upon the despotic rulers of the Land of Turkey.\nShoghi Effendi makes some significant remarks about the extinction of the Ottoman dynasty and the Caliphate:\nThough Baha'u'llah had been banished from His Native\nland, the tide of calamity which had swept with such fury\nover Him and over the followers of the Bab, was by no\nmeans receding. Under the jurisdiction of the Sultan of\nTurkey, the arch-enemy of His Cause, a new chapter in the\nhistory of His ever-recurring trials had opened. The\noverthrow of the Sultanate and the Caliphate, the twin\npillars of Sunni Islam, can be regarded in no other light\nexcept as the inevitable consequence of the fierce, the\nsustained and deliberate persecution which the monarchs of\nthe tottering House of 'Uthmin, the recognized successors\nof the Prophet Muhammad, had launched against it. From\nthe city of Constantinople, the traditional seat of both the\nSultanate and the Caliphate, the rulers of Turkey had, for a\nperiod covering almost three quarters of a century, striven,\nwith unabated zeal, to stem the tide of a Faith they feared\nand abhorred. From the time Baha'u'llah set foot on Turkish\nsoil and was made a virtual prisoner of the most powerful\npotentate of Islam to the year of the Holy Land's liberation\nfrom Turkish yoke, successive Caliphs, and in particular the <p153>\nSultans 'Abdu'l-'Aziz and 'Abdu'l-Hamid, had, in the full\nexercise of the spiritual and temporal authority which their\nexalted office had conferred upon them, afflicted both the\nFounder of our Faith and the Centre of His Covenant with\nsuch pain and tribulation as no mind can fathom nor pen or\ntongue describe. They alone could have measured or borne\nThe orders which these foes issued, the banishments they\ndecreed, the indignities they inflicted, the plans they\ndevised, the investigations they conducted, the threats they\npronounced, the atrocities they were prepared to commit,\nthe intrigues and baseness to which they, their ministers,\ntheir governors, and military chieftains had stooped,\nconstitute a record which can hardly find a parallel in the\nhistory of any revealed religion. The mere recital of the most\nsalient features of that sinister theme would suffice to fill a\nvolume. They knew full well that the spiritual and\nadministrative Centre of the Cause they had striven to\neradicate had now shifted to their dominion, that its leaders\nwere Turkish citizens, and that whatever resources these\ncould command were at their mercy. That for a period of\nalmost three score years and ten, while still in the plenitude\nof its unquestioned authority, while reinforced by the\nendless machinations of the civil and ecclesiastical\nauthorities of a neighbouring nation, and assured of the\nsupport of those of Baha'u'llah's kindred who had rebelled\nagainst, and seceded from, His Cause, this despotism should\nhave failed in the end to extirpate a mere handful of its\ncondemned subjects must, to every unbelieving observer,\nremain one of the most intriguing and mysterious episodes\nof contemporary history.\nThe Cause of which Baha'u'llah was still the visible leader\nhad, despite the calculations of a short-sighted enemy,\nundeniably triumphed. No unbiased mind, penetrating the\nsurface of conditions surrounding the Prisoner of 'Akka,\ncould any longer mistake or deny it. Though the tension\nwhich had been relaxed was, for a time, heightened after\nBaha'u'llah's ascension and the perils of a still unsettled\nsituation were revived, it was becoming increasingly evident <p154>\nthat the insidious forces of decay, which for many a long\nyear were eating into the vitals of a diseased nation, were\nnow moving towards a climax. A series of internal\nconvulsions, each more devastating than the previous one,\nhad already been unchained, destined to bring in their wake\none of the most catastrophic occurrences of modern times.\nThe murder of that arrogant despot in the year 1876; the\nRusso-Turkish conflict that soon followed in its wake; the\nwars of liberation which succeeded it; the rise of the Young\nTurk movement; the Turkish Revolution of 1909 that\nprecipitated the downfall of 'Abdu'l-Hamid; the Balkan\nwars with their calamitous consequences; the liberation of\nPalestine enshrining within its bosom the cities of 'Akka and\nHaifa, the world centre of an emancipated Faith; the further\ndismemberment decreed by the Treaty of Versailles; the\nabolition of the Sultanate and the downfall of the\nHouse of 'Uthman; the extinction of the Caliphate; the disestablishing\nof the State Religion; the annulment of the\nShari'ah Law and the promulgation of a universal Civil\nCode; the suppression of various orders, beliefs, traditions\nand ceremonials believed to be inextricably interwoven with\nthe fabric of the Muslim Faith--these followed with an ease\nand swiftness that no man had dared envisage. In these\ndevastating blows, administered by friend and foe alike, by\nChristian nations and professing Muslims, every follower of\nthe persecuted Faith of Baha'u'llah recognized evidences of\nthe directing Hand of the departed Founder of his religion,\nWho, from the invisible Realm, was unloosing a flood of\nwell-deserved calamities upon a rebellious religion and\nCompare the evidences of Divine visitation which befell\nthe persecutors of Jesus Christ with these historic retributions\nwhich, in the latter part of the first century of the\nBaha'i Era, have hurled to dust the chief adversary of the\nreligion of Baha'u'llah. Had not the Roman Emperor, in the\nsecond half of the first century of the Christian Era, after a\ndistressful siege of Jerusalem, laid waste the Holy City,\ndestroyed the Temple, desecrated and robbed the Holy of\nHolies of its treasures, and transported them to Rome, <p155>\nreared a pagan colony on the mount of Zion, massacred the\nJews, and exiled and dispersed the survivors?\nCompare, moreover, these words which the persecuted\nChrist, as witnessed by the Gospel, addressed to Jerusalem,\nwith Baha'u'llah's apostrophe to Constantinople, revealed\nwhile He lay in His far-off Prison, and recorded in His Most\nHoly Book: 'O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the\nProphets and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how\noften would I have gathered thy children together, even as a\nhen gathereth her chickens under her wings!' And again, as\nHe wept over the city: 'If thou hadst known, even thou, at\nleast in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace!\nbut now they are hid from thine eyes. For the days shall\ncome upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about\nthee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every\nside, and shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy\nchildren within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one\nstone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of\nthy visitation.'(7)\nTo the Presidents of the Republics of America, Baha'u'llah has addressed these words recorded in the Kitab-i-Aqdas:\nHearken ye, O Rulers of America and the Presidents of the\nRepublics therein, unto that which the Dove is warbling on\nthe Branch of Eternity: There is none other God but Me, the\nEver-Abiding, the Forgiving, the All-Bountiful. Adorn ye\nthe temple of dominion with the ornament of justice and of\nthe fear of God, and its head with the crown of the\nremembrance of your Lord, the Creator of the heavens.\nThus counselleth you He Who is the Dayspring of Names,\nas bidden by Him Who is the All-Knowing, the All-Wise.\nThe Promised One hath appeared in this glorified Station,\nwhereat all beings, both seen and unseen, have rejoiced.\nTake ye advantage of the Day of God. Verily, to meet Him is\nbetter for you than all that whereon the sun shineth, could\nye but know it. O concourse of rulers! Give ear unto that\nwhich hath been raised from the Dayspring of Grandeur: <p156>\nVerily, there is none other God but Me, the Lord of\nUtterance, the All-Knowing. Bind ye the broken with the\nlands of Justice, and crush the oppressor who flourisheth\nwith the rod of the commandments of your Lord, the\nOrdainer, the All-Wise.(8)\nIn all these Writings, one message in particular was conveyed in an unequivocal language, expressed with vigour, eloquence and majesty, and that was that God had manifested Himself and that His Vicegerent on earth was summoning the Kings to Himself. The warnings in all these messages were unmistakably clear and explicit and might be summed up by the following passage revealed in the Suriy-i-Muluk (Surih of the Kings):\nIf ye pay no heed unto the counsels which, in peerless and\nunequivocal language, We have revealed in this Tablet,\nDivine chastisement shall assail you from every direction,\nand the sentence of His justice shall be pronounced against\nyou. On that day ye shall have no power to resist Him, and\nshall recognize your own impotence. Have mercy on\nyourselves and on those beneath you.(9)\nThe forces of 'Divine chastisement' released by the creative power of the Words of Baha'u'llah have been exerting pressure upon the kings and the institution of kingship since those historic summons were issued and not heeded. How remarkable has been the fulfilment of the prophecy of Baha'u'llah foreshadowing the decline in the fortunes of royalty who had wielded absolute power throughout the ages! 'From two ranks amongst men', is Baha'u'llah's clear pronouncement, 'power has been seized: kings and ecclesiastics.'(10) So swift was the downfall of the kings that within the span of a few decades after Baha'u'llah's warnings, many powerful monarchies toppled to the ground, and most remaining ones lost their influence altogether. Revolutions, often combined with violence, took place in different parts of the world and <p157> dramatically changed the whole system of political and governmental institutions.\nIn the Tablet of Salman already referred to in Chapter 1, Baha'u'llah makes this significant remark concerning the institution of kingship. He writes:\nOne of the signs of the maturity of the world is that no one\nwill accept to bear the weight of kingship. Kingship will\nremain with none willing to bear alone its weight. That day\nwill be the day whereon wisdom will be manifested among\nmankind. Only in order to proclaim the Cause of God and\nspread abroad His Faith will anyone be willing to bear this\ngrievous weight. Well is it with him who, for love of God\nand His Cause, and for the sake of God and for the purpose\nof proclaiming His Faith, will expose himself unto this great\ndanger, and will accept this toil and trouble.(11)\nIn His Writings, Baha'u'llah has given three signs for the maturity of mankind. One is the above statement concerning the decline in the fortunes of kings. Another, to which we have made a reference in the previous volume,[1] is the transmuting of elements, the achievement of alchemy. The third, mentioned in the Kitab-i-Aqdas, is the adoption of an international auxiliary language.\n[1 Vol. 2, p. 268.]\nFrom all that has been said it must not be inferred, however, that the Baha'i teachings condemn the institution of kingship. On the contrary, in one of His Tablets, Baha'u'llah has declared:\nAlthough a republican form of government profiteth all the\npeoples of the world, yet the majesty of kingship is one of\nthe signs of God. We do not wish that the countries of the\nworld should remain deprived thereof...(12) <p158>\nThe Baha'i teachings envisage the re-establishment in the future of properly functioning constitutional monarchies in various countries of the world.\nIn another Tablet, Baha'u'llah prophesies the future of this institution in these words:\nEre long will God make manifest on earth kings who will\nrecline on the couches of justice, and will rule amongst men\neven as they rule their own selves. They, indeed, are among\nthe choicest of My creatures in the entire creation.(13)\nShoghi Effendi has written the following explanation of the Baha'i teachings on the institution of monarchy:\nLet none, however, mistake or unwittingly misrepresent the\npurpose of Baha'u'llah. Severe as has been His condemnation\npronounced against those sovereigns who persecuted Him,\nand however strict the censure expressed collectively against\nthose who failed signally in their clear duty to investigate the\ntruth of His Faith and to restrain the hand of the wrong-doer,\nHis teachings embody no principle that can, in any\nway, be construed as a repudiation, or even a disparagement,\nhowever veiled, of the institution of kingship. The catastrophic\nfall, and the extinction of the dynasties and empires\nof those monarchs whose disastrous end He particularly\nprophesied, and the declining fortunes of the sovereigns of.\nHis Own generation, whom He generally reproved--both\nconstituting a passing phase of the evolution of the Faith,--\nshould, in no wise, be confounded with the future position\nof that institution. Indeed, if we delve into the writings of\nthe Author of the Baha'i Faith, we cannot fail to discover\nunnumbered passages in which, in terms that none can\nmisrepresent, the principle of kingship is eulogized, the rank\nand conduct of just and fair minded kings is extolled, the\nrise of monarchs, ruling with justice and even professing His\nFaith, is envisaged, and the solemn duty to arise and insure\nthe triumph of Baha'i sovereigns is inculcated. To conclude\nfrom the above quoted words, addressed by Baha'u'llah to\nthe monarchs of the earth, to infer from the recital of the <p159>\nwoeful disasters that have overtaken so many of them, that\nHis followers either advocate or anticipate the definite\nextinction of the institution of kingship, would indeed be\ntantamount to a distortion of His teaching.(14)\nIn the Kitab-i-Aqdas Baha'u'llah prophesies a time when the kings and rulers of the world will embrace His Cause, and He showers His blessings upon such a ruler. These are His words:\nHow great the blessedness that awaiteth the king who will\narise to aid My Cause in My Kingdom, who will detach\nhimself from all else but Me! Such a king is numbered with\nthe companions of the Crimson--the Ark which God\nhath prepared for the people of Baha. All must glorify his\nname, must reverence his station, and aid him to unlock the\ncities with the keys of My Name, the omnipotent Protector\nof all that inhabit the visible and invisible kingdoms. Such a\nking is the very eye of mankind, the luminous ornament on\nthe brow of creation, the fountain-head of blessings unto the\nwhole world. Offer up, O people of Baha, your substance,\nnay your very lives, for his assistance.(15)\nSpeaking of future monarchs who will embrace the Cause, it is appropriate at this juncture to recount the story of Haji Shah Khalilu'llah-i-Farani, a believer of wide repute who, in company with his illustrious father, Aqa Mir Muhammad Big, attained the presence of Baha'u'llah in 'Akka in the year AH 1306 (AD 1889). He was a native of Faran[1] in the Province of Khurasan. In his memoirs he describes their arrival in 'Akka and how they attained the presence of Baha'u'llah:\n[1 See p. 62.]\nAt last we arrived in the City of 'Akka and were taken to the\nBaha'i Pilgrim House situated in the Khan[1] where pilgrims\nand some resident Baha'is were staying. We enjoyed the\ncompany of these devoted and sincere believers immensely.\nIn the afternoon of our arrival, 'Abdu'l-Baha came to visit <p160>\nus. He illumined our eyes by the effulgent rays of His\ncountenance. He showered upon us His loving kindness,\nasked about our journey and the state of the friends in\nvarious towns, and breathed into our hearts the spirit of joy\nand gladness.\n[1 Khan-i-'Avamid. (A.T.)]\nThe following day we were summoned to the presence of\nthe Blessed Beauty. God is my witness as to our state and\ncondition at that time. A flood of tears was flowing from our\neyes as we beheld His countenance. Through His all-bountiful\nfavours, the Tongue of Grandeur[1] spoke to us and\nsaid 'Did you see how the Hand of Power took you and\nbrought you here? Otherwise, Faran is situated on one side\nof the world and 'Akka on the other...'[2] He spoke to us\nwords of such loving kindness and showered upon us so\nmany bounties that my pen is unable to record them...\nEach day we attained His presence and were fed from the\nliving waters of His grace. The eyes of His bountiful favours\nwere often directed toward us... One day we were\nsummoned at the time of revelation[2] and heard the melodies\nof holiness. Gracious God! at such a time not only was the\nsoul exhilarated, but it seemed as if even the door, the walls,\nthe trees and the fruits were made to vibrate with\nexcitement. The Blessed Beauty was seated upon the throne\nof utterance, the verses of God were pouring out as a\ncopious rain and the shrill voice of the Pen of the Most High\ncould be heard. Each day we received our portion of\nbounties from His presence and were in the utmost joy...\nOne day we were told at the Pilgrim House that His Blessed\nPerson was going to the Mansion of Bahji[4]... we were\nsummoned to His presence in the Mansion... and some\naccommodation was assigned to us in that neighbourhood.(16)\n[1 Baha'u'llah. (A.T.)]\n[2 These are not to be taken as the exact words of Baha'u'llah. (A.T.)]\n[3 On the revelation of the Word of God see vol. 1, pp. 18-44.]\n[4 Baha'u'llah had moved to the Mansion a long time before this but at times He visited 'Akka and stayed there for some time. (A.T.)]\nIn a spoken chronicle to some friends, Haji Shah Khalilu'llah has recounted a story of Baha'u'llah who one day visited them in their residence: <p161>\nOne day Baha'u'llah informed my father that He would be\nvisiting us in the afternoon. That day He arrived with a few\nof his disciples. We were both highly honoured by His\npresence and immersed in the ocean of His grace and\nbounties. After some time He arose to depart. We\naccompanied Him to the door and as He went out, He\nsignalled to us not to accompany Him further. I watched\nfrom behind His graceful stature and the majesty of His\nwalk, until He disappeared from my sight. I was so carried\naway, and in that state I said to myself: What a pity! If only\nthe kings of the world could recognize Him and arise to\nserve Him, both the Cause and the believers would be\nexalted in this day.\nThe following day when we attained His presence, He\nturned His face to me and addressed the following words to\nme with infinite charm and loving kindness. He said: 'If the\nkings and rulers of the world had embraced the Faith in this\nday, you people could never have found an entry into this\nexalted Court. You could never have had the opportunity to\nattain Our presence, nor could you ever have acquired the\nprivilege of hearing the words of the Lord of Mankind. Of\ncourse the time will come when the kings and rulers of the\nworld will become believers, and the Cause of God will be\nglorified outwardly. But this will happen after the meek and\nthe lowly ones of the earth have won this inestimable\nbounty.[1](17)\n[1 These are not to be taken as the exact words which Baha'u'llah spoke on that occasion. (A.T.)]\nHaji Shah Khalil'u'llah grew up in a Baha'i, atmosphere. His father was an outstanding believer, very influential among the people and endowed with a deep understanding and knowledge of God. His home was a centre of Baha'i activities in Faran. Haji Shah Khalil'u'llah followed in the footsteps of his father. He became an eminent Baha', whose devotion to and enthusiasm for the Faith endeared him to the believers throughout Persia. In his native town, he was a well-trusted citizen like his father before him, and although he was known <p162> to be a Baha'i he was respected by a great many non-Baha'is who often turned to him for help and advice.\nSome years after the ascension of Baha'u'llah he attained the presence of 'Abdu'l-Baha and basked in the sunshine of His love for some time in 'Akka. During Shoghi Effendi's ministry too he was twice given the privilege of visiting the Holy Land, where he had the honour of going into the presence of Shoghi Effendi almost every day during his pilgrimage.\nHaji Shah Khalil'u'llah was a great teacher of the Faith. Through his loving disposition he attracted many people to the Cause of God. His spiritual qualities, coupled with the burning love he cherished for Baha'u'llah and His Faith, made him an outstanding Baha'i who warmed the hearts of the believers wherever he went.\nReligious Leaders Addressed in the Kitab-i-Aqdas\nAnother category of people who wielded enormous power was the clergy. Throughout the whole period of recorded history these men held the reins of power in their hands, and guided the masses in their ways. This was perhaps necessary as in former days most people were illiterate and needed to be led by someone. The authority with which religious leaders acted within the community, both in the East and the West, was so deeply rooted in the hearts of people that even kings were bound to obey them. To cite one example: the kings of the Qajar dynasty in Persia ruled as powerful dictators of a totalitarian regime. At one stage, one of the leading divines of Persia had forbidden people to smoke. Although this order did not last very long, everyone had to obey it until it was rescinded. Even the Qajar King in his palace did not dare to smoke. Such was the sway of the word of the clergy when Baha'u'llah appeared! With a stroke of His mighty Pen, He abolished the institution of priesthood and announced that He had seized their power, a power they had wielded from time immemorial.\n[Illustrations appearing between pages 162 and 163:]\nHAJI SHAH KHALULU'LLAH-I-FARANI\nBaha'u'llah to proclaim the Faith to Baron Rothschild <p163>\nTo Shaykh Baqir, a Muslim Persian Mujtahid whom Baha'u'llah stigmatized as 'Wolf' because of his orders to execute two illustrious Baha'is, Baha'u'llah has addressed these words:\nO heedless one! Rely not on thy glory and thy power. Thou\nart even as the last trace of sunlight upon the mountain-top.\nSoon will it fade away, as decreed by God, the All-Possessing,\nthe Most High. Thy glory, and the glory of such\nas are like thee, have been taken away, and this, verily, is\nwhat hath been ordained by the One with Whom is the\nMother Tablet...(18)\nIn the Kitab-i-Aqdas Baha'u'llah addresses the divines of all religions collectively; these are some extracts from His words:\nSay: O leaders of religion! Weigh not the Book of God with\nsuch standards and sciences as are current amongst you, for\nthe Book itself is the unerring balance established amongst\nmen. In this most perfect balance whatsoever the peoples\nand kindreds of the earth possess must be weighed, while the\nmeasure of its weight should be tested according to its own\nstandard, did ye but know it.\nThe eye of My loving-kindness weepeth sore over you,\ninasmuch as ye have tailed to recognize the One upon\nWhom ye have been calling in the daytime and in the night\nseason, at even and at morn. Advance, O people, with snow-white\nfaces and radiant hearts, unto the blest and crimson\nSpot, wherein the Sadratu'l-Muntaha is calling: 'Verily,\nthere is none other God beside Me, the Omnipotent\nProtector, the Self-Subsisting!'\nO ye leaders of religion! Who is the man amongst you that\ncan rival Me in vision or insight? Where is he to be found\nthat dareth to claim to be My equal in utterance or wisdom?\nNo, by My Lord, the All-Merciful! All on the earth shall\npass away; and this is the face of your Lord, the Almighty,\nthe Well-Beloved.\nWe have decreed, O people, that the highest and last end\nof all learning be the recognition of Him Who is the Object <p164>\nof all knowledge; and yet, behold how ye have allowed your\nlearning to shut you out, as by a veil, from Him Who is the\nDayspring of this Light, through Whom every hidden thing\nhath been revealed. Could ye but discover the source\nwhence the splendour of this utterance is diffused, ye would\ncast away the peoples of the world and all that they possess,\nand would draw nigh unto this most blessed Seat of glory.\nSay: This, verily, is the heaven in which the Mother Book\nis treasured, could ye but comprehend it. He it is Who hath\ncaused the Rock to shout, and the Burning Bush to lift up its\nvoice, upon the Mount rising above the Holy Land, and\nproclaim: 'The Kingdom is God's, the sovereign Lord of all,\nthe All-Powerful, and Loving!'\nWe have not entered any school, nor read any of your\ndissertations. Incline your ears to the words of this\nunlettered One, wherewith He summoneth you unto God,\nthe Ever-Abiding. Better is this for you than all the treasures\nof the earth, could ye but comprehend it.(19)\nO concourse of divines! When My verses were sent down,\nand My clear tokens were revealed, We found you behind\nthe veils. This, verily, is a strange thing... We have rent the\nveils asunder. Beware lest ye shut out the people by yet\nanother veil.

This, verily, is the counsel of God\naforetime and hereafter... Had ye believed in God, when\nHe revealed Himself, the people would not have turned\naside from Him, nor would the things ye witness today have\nbefallen Us. Fear God, and be not of the heedless... This is\nthe Cause that hath caused all your superstitions and idols to\ntremble...\nO concourse of divines! Beware lest ye be the cause of\nstrife in the land, even as ye were the cause of the repudiation\nof the Faith in its early days. Gather the people around this <p165>\nWord that hath made the pebbles to cry out: 'The Kingdom\nis God's, the Dawning-Place of all signs!'... Tear the veils\nasunder in such wise that the inmates of the Kingdom will\nhear them being rent. This is the command of God, in days\ngone by, and for those to come. Blessed the man that\nobserveth that whereunto he was bidden, and woe betide the\nnegligent.(20)\nIn many of His Tablets Baha'u'llah has made references to the divines. The following are just a few:\nWhen We observed carefully, We discovered that Our\nenemies are, for the most part, the divines.\nAmong the people are those who said: 'He hath repudiated\nthe divines.' Say: 'Yea, by My Lord! I, in very truth, was the\nOne Who abolished the idols!'\nWe, verily, have sounded the Trumpet, which is Our Most\nSublime Pen, and lo, the divines and the learned, and the\ndoctors and the rulers, swooned away except such as God\npreserved, as a token of His grace, and He, verily, is the All-Bounteous,\nO concourse of divines! Fling away idle fancies and\nimaginings, and turn, then, towards the Horizon of\nCertitude. I swear by God! All that ye possess will profit\nyou not, neither all the treasures of the earth, nor the\nleadership ye have usurped. Fear God, and be not of the lost\nSay: O concourse of divines! Lay aside all your veils and\ncoverings. Give ear unto that whereunto calleth you the\nMost Sublime Pen, in this wondrous Day.\nThe world is laden with dust, by reason of your vain\nimaginings, and the hearts of such as enjoy near access to\nGod are troubled because of your cruelty. Fear God, and be\nof them that judge equitably.(21) <p166>\nShoghi Effendi has written in some detail on this topic in his The Promised Day Is Come. These are some of his remarks:\n... The decline in the fortunes of the crowned wielders of\ntemporal power has been paralleled by a no less startling\ndeterioration in the influence exercised by the world's\nspiritual leaders. The colossal events that have heralded the\ndissolution of so many kingdoms and empires have almost\nsynchronized with the crumbling of the seemingly\ninviolable strongholds of religious orthodoxy. That same\nprocess which, swiftly and tragically, sealed the doom of\nkings and emperors, and extinguished their dynasties, has\noperated in the case of the ecclesiastical leaders of both\nChristianity and Islam, damaging their prestige, and, in\nsome cases, overthrowing their highest institutions. 'Power\nhath been seized' indeed, from both 'kings and ecclesiastics.'\nThe glory of the former has been eclipsed, the power of the\nlatter irretrievably lost.\nThose leaders who exercised guidance and control over\nthe ecclesiastical hierarchies of their respective religions\nhave, likewise, been appealed to, warned, and reproved by\nBaha'u'llah, in terms no less uncertain than those in which\nthe sovereigns who presided over the destinies of their\nsubjects have been addressed. They, too, and more\nparticularly the heads of Muslim ecclesiastical orders, have,\nIn conjunction with despots and potentates, launched their\nassaults and thundered their anathemas against the Founders\nof the Faith of God, its followers, its principles, and its\ninstitutions. Were not the divines of Persia the first who\nhoisted the standard of revolt, who inflamed the ignorant\nand subservient masses against it, and who instigated the\ncivil authorities, through their outcry, their threats, their\nlies, their calumnies, and denunciations, to decree the\nbanishments, to enact the laws, to launch the punitive\ncampaigns, and to carry out the executions and massacres\nthat fill the pages of its history? So abominable and savage\nwas the butchery committed in a single day, instigated by\nthese divines, and so typical of the 'callousness of the brute\nand the ingenuity of the fiend' that Renan, in his 'Les <p167>\nApotres,' characterized that day as 'perhaps unparalleled in\nthe history of the world.'\nIt was these divines, who, by these very acts, sowed the\nseeds of the disintegration of their own institutions,\ninstitutions that were so potent, so famous, and appeared so\ninvulnerable when the Faith was born. It was they who, by\nassuming so lightly and foolishly, such awful responsibilities\nwere primarily answerable for the release of those violent\nand disruptive influences that have unchained disasters as\ncatastrophic as those which overwhelmed kings, dynasties,\nand empires, and which constitute the most noteworthy\nlandmarks in the history of the first century of the Baha'i\nThis process of deterioration, however startling in its\ninitial manifestations, is still operating with undiminished\nforce, and will, as the opposition to the Faith of God, from\nvarious sources and in distant fields, gathers momentum, be\nfurther accelerated and reveal still more remarkable\nevidences of its devastating power.(22)\nBaha'u'llah proclaimed His Message to the leaders of the world collectively and to a few monarchs individually. But this proclamation was not meant only for the kings or religious leaders alone. The peoples of the world had to hear it also through their leaders as there was no other form of communication. The mass media of today was non-existent in the days of Baha'u'llah. It was God's purpose that leaders of the world hear the advent of His Manifestation, respond positively to His summons, embrace His Cause and communicate His Message to their peoples. But no one responded. Yet God had fulfilled His role in His Covenant with man by vouchsafing His Revelation to mankind and proclaiming it to him. It now rested with man to respond of his own volition to the call of His Creator.\nProclamation to the Jewish Leadership\nA survey of Baha'u'llah's letters to the leaders of the world <p168> indicates that all the nations and major religions of the world were given the opportunity to hear of His coming. Probably one exception was the Jewish people as they did not belong to a particular state at the time. One year before His passing, Baha'u'llah had made a remark concerning His proclamation to the rulers of the world. He is reported to have said that by then He had fully proclaimed His Mission to the crowned heads of the world, but He desired to convey the Message of God to Baron Rothschild[1] who could be considered as the leader of the Jewish people at the time. This remark was addressed to a believer of Jewish descent, Mirza 'Azizu'llah-i-Jadhdhab who had gone to 'Akka to attain the presence of Baha'u'llah for the third time in the year AH 1308 (AD 1891). Baha'u'llah directed him to write to Baron Rothschild and proclaim the Faith to him and if possible pay him a visit.\n[1 Probably Baron Nathaniel Mayer, Lord Rothschild of London (1840-1915), then considered the lay head of world Jewry; or else Baron Edmond de Rothschild of Paris (1845-1934), the great benefactor of thousands of Jews then settling in Palestine.]\nThe story of the life of Mirza 'Azizu'llah and his services to the Cause of God are interesting and inspiring indeed. He was of Jewish descent. His father, living in the city of Mashhad, was a learned man and well versed in the Old Testament and other religious books. He used to teach the Old Testament to the Jewish youth. Pure-hearted and with great insight into religious matters, he recognized the truth of the Faith of Islam and secretly declared his conversion to the Muslim authorities. With the exception of his wife, no other members of the Jewish community, not even his own children, were aware of his conversion to Islam. This was about sixteen years before the birth of the Babi Faith. In particular, he advised his family to watch for the coming of the Lord of Hosts, as he had discovered according to the Holy Books that His advent was at hand.\nA few years later, in 1838, some tragic incident resulted in the massacre of about thirty-five Jews in the city of Mashhad by <p169> the Muslims. All the surviving Jews took refuge in the homes of Muslim clergy and in order to save their lives, agreed to accept the Faith of Islam. They were officially converted by the clergy, but, of course, in secret they practised the Jewish Faith. Although their lives had been saved, the Jews newly converted to Islam continued to live in a separate quarter of the city and were not fully integrated with the Muslim community. They were referred to as the 'newcomers' and were still persecuted by the Muslims.\nMirza 'Azizu'llah lived in this community. He went to a Muslim school as a child, but soon left it. Instead, he learnt the Old Testament, became fully acquainted with the Jewish Faith, and practised it in secret. Although his education was elementary, he became a successful merchant and emerged as a man of ability and enterprise.\nThe first time he heard the word 'Baha'u'llah' was when one of his brothers, who had become a Baha'i, mentioned the story of the martyrdom of Badi' to him. But Mirza 'Azizu'llah, being very staunch in the Jewish Faith, did not show any interest, and the brother did not pursue the matter any further.\nSome time passed and the two brothers had to undertake a series of journeys together on business. In the course of these journeys Mirza 'Azizu'llah decided to polish up his elementary knowledge of reading and writing Persian. Being a talented man, it did not take him very long to become proficient as a reader.\nOne day when his brother was out he took a Baha'i book and began to read it. He was moved by what he read, but discounted the whole idea of a new Faith. Then one night he had a dream, of which he has written this account in his memoirs:\nIn my dream, I heard the announcement that the Lord of\nHosts, the Promised One of all ages, had appeared, and that\nHe was inspecting the company of the Prophets and all their\nfollowers. I went along immediately to the appointed place. <p170>\nI saw a vast place on which multitudes of people were\nassembled in lines. Each prophet along with his followers\nwas seated facing the Qiblih.[1] I was surprised by the\nextraordinary light and vision which was given to my eyes,\nas I could easily see all the people lined up in that vast area.\n[1 Literally: point of adoration. A point to which the faithful turn at the time of prayer.]\nOpposite the multitudes and facing them, a venerable\nfigure was seated upon a chair uttering some words. I was\nstanding at the end of a line. His blessed Person was over\nfifty years of age, had a long black beard and was wearing a\ngreen Taj[1] sewn with green silk thread. With His blessed\nhand He signalled me to go to Him. With my hands I\ngesticulated to say, how can I come with all these crowds in\nfront of me? He waved His hands to the multitudes and they\nall prostrated themselves on the ground. He then beckoned\nme to go forward. I was not sure at this point whether it was\nto me or someone else that He was signalling. He then\nrepeated His command. This time I went forward\nimmediately, stepping on the backs of people who lay\nprostrate in front of me, until I reached Him. I prostrated\nmyself at His feet and kissed them. He then helped me up to\nmy feet with His hand and recited the verse of the Qur'an:\n'Blessed be God, the most excellent Creator.(23)\n[1 Head-dress similar to the one that Baha'u'llah used to wear.]\nAlthough this dream made a great impression on Mirza 'Azizu'llah, he still remained steadfast in his Jewish faith until some time later when he was converted to the Faith of Baha'u'llah by Haji 'Abdu'l-Majid, the father of Badi'. Soon after embracing the Faith, Mirza 'Azizu'llah and his brother journeyed to 'Akka to attain the presence of Baha'u'llah. This was in the year 1876, his first pilgrimage to the Holy Land. When the appointed time arrived, Mirza 'Azizu'llah was ushered into the room of Baha'u'llah in 'Akka. As soon as his eyes saw the person of Baha'u'llah he was awestruck to find <p171> himself in the presence of the One whom he had seen some years before in that memorable dream, wearing the same clothes and the same green head-dress. With all the devotion and love in his heart Mirza 'Azizu'llah promptly prostrated himself at the feet of his Lord. Baha'u'llah bent down, helped him up to his feet and recited the verse of the Qur'an: 'Blessed be God, the most excellent Creator!'\nDuring his stay in 'Akka, Mirza 'Azizu'llah attained the presence of Baha'u'llah and 'Abdu'l-Baha many times. As a result, he became endowed with a new spirit of faith and assurance. The first time that he attained the presence of Baha'u'llah, he witnessed the revelation of Baha'u'llah's Tablets and heard His voice as He revealed them. This experience left an abiding impression upon him. The only regret he had was that he could not read Arabic and hence was unable to fully appreciate the Holy Writings. This was because he had left school so young and had missed the opportunity to learn Arabic. He felt remorseful over this. Someone in 'Akka volunteered to teach him Arabic, but he declined the offer as he had no time or patience to learn a language so vast in vocabulary and so complex in grammar.\nThe next day when he attained the presence of Baha'u'llah, he approached Him by way of the heart and begged that through His bountiful favours, He might enable him to understand Arabic without going through the usual method of learning the language. His wish was granted, and Mirza 'Azizu'llah one day became very excited when he found himself reading and understanding the Qur'an and the Tablets of Baha'u'llah in Arabic.\nMany early believers were uneducated but they were endowed by Baha'u'llah with a knowledge which men of learning but devoid of faith did not possess. Earlier on[1] we have described this form of knowledge, a knowledge which wells out of the heart and is not dependent on learning.\n[1 pp. 94-5.]\nConcerning the special mission given him during his last <p172> pilgrimage to 'Akka, to proclaim the Faith to Baron Rothschild, Mirza 'Azizu'llah has recorded the following in his memoirs:\nAfter leaving the Holy Land,[1] I arrived in Istanbul. There I\nknew a certain broker who had the knowledge of the French\nlanguage. I asked him if he would teach me a little French\nevery day, so that on my journey to meet Rothschild I\nwould be able to converse a little in that language. In the\nmeantime, I composed a letter to Rothschild which was\nrendered into French. In this communication I informed\nhim of the coming of Baha'u'llah and of the fulfilment of the\nprophecies of the Old Testament concerning the advent of\nthe Lord of Hosts who had revealed Himself on Mount\nCarmel at this time. I explained that the followers of\nBaha'u'llah were inviting us to embrace His Cause,\nadducing proofs and demonstrating that prophecies have\nbeen fulfilled. I reminded him that he was considered as the\nhead of the Jewish People. Therefore, I asked him to refer\nthis matter to the Jewish divines in Jerusalem so that they\nmight respond to this question. I explained further that\neither one had to nullify the proofs and the prophecies of the\nOld Testament or to accept this blessed Cause. After\nsending this communication I began to learn French. In\nthose days, Aqa Siyyid Ahmad-i-Afnan[2] was in Istanbul.\nHe was very curious to find out the reason for my learning\nFrench at this time in my life, and for what purpose I was\nthinking of going to Paris and London. But since the visit to\nRothschild was a confidential matter I did not disclose\nit...(24)\n[1 This was in 1891. (A.T.)]\n[2 A member of the Afnan family who ran a business in Istanbul.]\nUnfortunately the memoirs of Mirza 'Azizu'llah are not conclusive in that there is no mention of whether he succeeded in meeting the Baron or not.\nAnother interesting mission which Mirza 'Azizu'llah undertook during 'Abdu'l-Baha's ministry was to visit Leo <p173> Tolstoy, the famous Russian philosopher and writer. Tolstoy was already informed of the Revelations of the Bab and Baha'u'llah, and had praised Their teachings. Mirza 'Azizu'llah succeeded in meeting him in September 1902 and in the course of an interview spoke to him at length on the history and the teachings of the Faith and explained the station of Baha'u'llah as the Promised One of all ages. The detailed discussions, questions and answers in this interview and the favourable response of Tolstoy, who believed that the Cause of Baha'u'llah would spread throughout the world are all recorded in his memoirs. <p174>\nThe Pride of Martyrs\nDispatch of the Lawh-i-Sultan\nA Tablet of great significance, described by Baha'u'llah as the 'rumbling' of His proclamation to the kings and rulers of the world, was revealed in Adrianople and addressed to Nasiri'd-Din Shah of Persia. But it was sent to him from 'Akka. An account of the Lawh-i-Sultan has been given in the previous volume. Its dispatch required a personal messenger as it would have been impossible for the Shah to receive the Tablet through any other channel.\nClergy and government in Persia were hand-in-hand in ruthlessly persecuting the defenceless followers of the new Faith during the reign of Nasiri'd-Din Shah. Anybody or anything remotely connected with the name Bab' or Baha'i could become a target for assault and destruction. There could be dangerous consequences for a person found to be in possession of a letter which had some connection with the Faith. When travellers entered a city they would be questioned about their identity and could be searched by officials who lived by bribery and extortion; often through harassment, imprisonment and torture, these men extracted from people as much money as they could. Whenever they came across a Baha'i, they would thoroughly search him for Baha'i materials such as letters, books and Tablets, and if they found any, not only would these be confiscated but also the Baha'i's life would be in great danger. Because of these difficulties all the Writings of Baha'u'llah were taken to Persia by individual believers, very often by Shaykh Salman. He exercised such tact <p175> and wisdom in his journeys that none of the Tablets he was carrying ever fell into the hands of the enemy.[1]\n[1 Honoured by Baha'u'llah by the appellation 'Messenger of the Merciful', Shaykh Salman carried His Tablets to the believers and brought back their letters to Him. He performed this service for several decades. For his life story see vol. 1, pp. 109-13, vol. 2, passim.]\nTo send a Tablet to the Shah of Persia, however, was a different matter. Not only was a great deal of wisdom needed to protect the Tablet, but the messenger had to be willing to lay down his life as well. When Baha'u'llah revealed the Tablet He had commented that the person who was to take it to Nasiri'd-Din Shah had not yet been created. This person had to be endowed with supreme faith and manifest such courage and forbearance in the face of suffering and torture as to astonish the world. Baha'u'llah wrote a few lines about the delivery of the Tablet on its cover:\nHe is God, exalted is He.\nWe ask God to send one of His servants, and to detach\nhim from Contingent Being, and to adorn his heart with the\ndecoration of strength and composure, that he may help his\nLord amidst the concourse of creatures, and, when he\nbecometh aware of what hath been revealed for His Majesty\nthe King, that he may arise and take the Letter, by the\npermission of his Lord, the Mighty, the Bounteous, and go\nwith speed to the abode of the King. And when he shall\narrive at the place of his throne, let him alight in the inn, and\nlet him hold converse with none till he goeth forth one day\nand standeth where he [i.e. the King] shall pass by. And\nwhen the Royal harbingers shall appear, let him raise up the\nLetter with the utmost humility and courtesy, and say, 'It\nhath been sent on the part of the Prisoner.' And it is\nincumbent upon him to be in such a mood that, should the\nKing decree his death, he shall not be troubled within\nhimself, and shall hasten to the place of sacrifice saying, 'O\nLord, praise be to Thee because that Thou hast made me a\nhelper to Thy religion, and hast decreed unto me <p176>\nmartyrdom in Thy way! By Thy Glory, I would not\nexchange this cup for [all] the cups in the worlds, for Thou\nhast not ordained any equivalent to this, neither do Kawthar\nand Salsabil[1] rival it!' But if he [i.e. the King] letteth him\n[i.e. the messenger] go, and interfereth not with him, let him\nsay, 'To Thee be praise, O Lord of the worlds! Verily I am\ncontent with Thy good pleasure and what Thou hast\npredestined unto me in Thy way, even though I did desire\nthat the earth might be dyed with my blood for Thy love.\nBut what Thou willest is best for me: verily Thou knowest\nwhat is in my soul, while I know not what is in Thy soul;\nand Thou art the All-Knowing, the Informed.'[1]\n[1 The names of two rivers in Paradise.]\nThe Story of Badi'\nThe person who was created anew and performed this sacred mission was a youth of seventeen by the name of Aqa Buzurg, entitled Badi'. The father of Badi', Haji 'Abdu'l-Majid-i-Nishapuri known as Aba Badi' (father of Badi') was one of the outstanding believers of the Babi Faith and later became a devoted follower of Baha'u'llah. An account of his life and martyrdom at an old age is given in a previous volume.[1] Although Badi' grew up in the home of a very devoted believer, he was not touched sufficiently by the spirit of the Faith as to make him believe in the Cause and he remained cold and aloof in relation to it.\nTowards the end of His sojourn in Adrianople, Baha'u'llah sent Nabil-i-A'zam to Persia to strengthen the faith of the believers, especially because of Mirza Yahya's opposition to the Cause of God. In the course of his journeys, Nabil went to the city of Nishapur where he was entertained by Aba Badi', 'the father of Badi\", who expressed to Nabil great disappointment in his son. Nabil, in his unpublished history, has recorded that in Nishapur, Aba Badi' invited him to his home and himself began to entertain him. Nabil asked him, <p177> 'Do you not have a grown-up son?' He replied that he had one but that he was not obedient to him.[1] Nabil called for the son and he came in. He was a simple-hearted tall youth, and Nabil requested that he act as his host.\n[1 The reason behind the question was that Nabil must have been surprised that Aba Badi' was entertaining him personally. Because in those days the young generally paid great respect to their parents, and in a case such as this, a young son would not allow his father to serve the guest personally, bearing in mind that it was against the custom of the time for\nthe female members of the family to entertain guests of the opposite sex.]\nGradually, he became attracted to matters pertaining to God and spiritual things and wept throughout the night. In the morning he prepared the tea and went to town; after he had gone Aba Badi' came to talk to Nabil. He said, 'I have never heard him weep before... I am prepared to serve him if he remains steadfast in the Cause.' Aqa Buzurg insisted that he would like to accompany Nabil to Mashhad but his father wanted him first to finish his studies, then study the Kitab-i-Iqan and make a copy of it[1] before going on such a journey.\n[1 In the early days of the Faith, the Holy Writings were not published. Handwritten copies were made by individual believers.]\nAfter Nabil left Khurasan and arrived in Tihran, Shaykh-i-Fani,[1] a devoted believer, went to Nishapur. He disclosed his plans to travel to Baghdad and then to Adrianople, and stated that he had permission from Baha'u'llah to take one person with him. Aba Badi' provided his son with funds and a beast of burden for transport to accompany the Shaykh to Baghdad where they could join Nabil and from there all of them proceed together to the presence of Baha'u'llah. Badi' accompanied the Shaykh as far as Yazd. There he parted company with him, gave him all his possessions and alone travelled on foot to Baghdad. The spirit of devotion to the Faith had so touched Badi' that he was longing to gaze upon the countenance of Baha'u'llah and partake of His glory in person.\n[1 Shaykh Ahmad-i-Nishapuri, not to be confused with Shaykh Muhammad-i-Hisari, also entitled Shaykh-i-Fani. <p178>]\nWhile Badi' was in Baghdad, the enemies of the Cause fatally wounded Aqa 'Abdu'r-Rasul-i-Qumi[1] an ardent follower of Baha'u'llah who had taken upon himself the arduous task of carrying water[2] to the House of Baha'u'llah in that city. The supply of water to that House was essential as some believers were living there. When Badi' learned of the tragic story of the martyrdom of Aqa 'Abdu'r-Rasul, he volunteered for the job and began to carry skins of water from the river to the House of Baha'u'llah and the believers; consequently, he too became a target of assaults by the enemy. He was attacked several times as he was carrying water and each time stabbed with knives or daggers. Undeterred by the malice of the fanatic mob, this youth, whose destiny was to become a new creation of God in this Day and a spiritual giant of this Dispensation, continued in this work. God vouchsafed His protection to him during those turbulent days.\n[2 In those days in the Middle East, there was no running water in houses Water had to be carried from springs or rivers; there were water carriers in every town. The most common method was to carry large leather skins filled with water on one's back.]\nWe have already recounted the fate of the believers living in\nBaghdad. They were eighty-eight in all who were exiled to\nMosul.[1] But Badi' was not among them. He had gone to Mosul\nbefore the exiles arrived, and was able to serve them in the same\ncapacity of water carrier. After some time the news reached the\nbelievers that Baha'u'llah had been exiled to 'Akka. Badi' could\nwait no longer. He departed from Mosul and walked all the\nway to 'Akka.\nHe arrived there early in 1869. This was some time after Haji Shah-Muhammad-i-Aminu'l-Bayan and Haji Abu'l-Hasan-i-Amin (the two Trustees of Baha'u'llah[1] had arrived in the City. Badi' seems to have entered the city without much difficulty. The watchful eyes of Siyyid Muhammad-i-Isfahani and his accomplice Aqa Jan, who were housed above the gate <p179> of the city so that they might report to the authorities the arrival of any person they suspected of being a Baha'i, failed to recognize the youth carrying his water skins and wearing a long cloak of coarse cotton of the type worn among the Arabs.\n[1 See above, ch. 4.]\nBadi' wandered in the city for some time not knowing the residence of his Lord or how to enter it. He went to a mosque and there he sighted a few Persians and he knew that the one standing in front of them was none other than 'Abdu'l-Baha. He waited till the prayer was finished and then approached the Master with great reverence and handed him a note containing two lines of a poem he had hurriedly composed on the spot. In it he had, without introducing himself, declared his loyalty to the Master and his faith in Baha'u'llah in moving and tender language. 'Abdu'l-Baha warmly welcomed Badi' and managed to take him to the barracks.[1]\n[1 'Azizu'llah-i-Jadhdhab (see p. 168), a devoted believer has recorded in his memoirs that 'Abdu'l-Ahad (see p. 54) took Badi' with his water-carrying skin inside the barracks. It is possible that 'Abdu'l-Baha had instructed 'Abdu'l-Ahad to accompany him to the prison.]\nIn one of the Tablets(2) written by Mirza Aqa Jan, it is stated that Badi' was ushered into the Presence of Baha'u'llah alone on two occasions. No one knew what was happening in these audiences except that Baha'u'llah had said that God was about to create a new creation and Badi' himself was unaware of it. In another Tablet,(3) Baha'u'llah states that He created him anew with the hands of power and might and sent him out as a ball of fire. It was in the course of these two meetings that Baha'u'llah gave him the name Badi'--Wonderful.\nIn yet another Tablet(4) Baha'u'llah has testified that He took a handful of dust, mixed it with the waters of might and power and breathed into it a new spirit from His presence, adorned it with the ornament of a name (Badi') in the Kingdom of Creation and sent it out to the King with a Book revealed by God.\nIn a Tablets to the father of Badi', Baha'u'llah recounts in moving language the exciting events which took place when <p180> his son had attained His presence. He indicates that when He desired to create a new creation He summoned Badi' to come to His room and uttered 'one word' to him, a word which caused his whole being to tremble. He affirms that had it not been for the divine protection vouchsafed to him at that moment, Badi' would have swooned away. Then the Hand of Omnipotence, according to Baha'u'llah's description, began to create him anew and breathed into him the spirit of might and power. So great was the infusion of this might, as attested by Baha'u'llah, that single and alone he could have conquered the world through the power of God, had he been ordered to do so.\nBaha'u'llah states that when this new creation came into being he smiled in His presence and manifested such steadfastness that the Concourse on High[1] were deeply moved and exhilarated and the voice of God was heard calling aloud: 'Hallowed and glorified be Baha for having fashioned a new and wonderful creation.' Baha'u'llah testifies that He disclosed to his eyes the 'Kingdom of Revelation', and as a result his whole being was filled with an ecstasy that rid him of all attachments to this world and made him arise to assist his Lord and bring victory to His Cause.\n[1 The company of the souls of the Prophets and Holy Ones in the next world.]\nThere are many references in the Writings to the Kingdom of Revelation of which Baha'u'llah speaks in the above Tablet. This Kingdom, sometimes translated as the 'Kingdom of the Cause', is far above the understanding of man. We have written briefly about this in the previous volume.[1] This is the Kingdom through which all Revelations have been sent down. The kingdom of creation, of which man is a part, has also come into being through the instrumentality of the Kingdom of Revelation. The two kingdoms are often referred to together in the Writings. Man dwelling within the kingdom of creation has the duty to serve the Kingdom of Revelation, because a <p181> lower kingdom always serves a higher one. The Cause of Baha'u'llah has been vouchsafed to humanity through the instrumentality of the Kingdom of Revelation, therefore the true function of a believer is to serve the Cause of Baha'u'llah, and many thousands have even sacrificed their lives to this end.\nThat Baha'u'llah had enabled Badi', while in His presence, to see the Kingdom of Revelation is a unique bounty of which we can have no understanding. The only thing we can deduce from observing this illustrious youth is that whatever had happened to him in the presence of Baha'u'llah, he was entirely a different person when he left. Before, he was only 'a handful of dust', but after his two audiences with Baha'u'llah he became a new creation into which 'the spirit of might and power' had been breathed. And it is for no light reason that this youth of seventeen is named as one of the nineteen Apostles of Baha'u'llah. We are not attempting to compare the station of these Apostles because it is beyond any man to judge the station that God has destined for His chosen ones in the spiritual worlds of God; nevertheless, we observe that he is placed second on the list, the first being Mirza Musa, Aqay-i-Kalim, the most faithful brother of Baha'u'llah.\nThat Badi' had been carried away into a world of joy and eternal ecstasy as a result of meeting Baha'u'llah is not in itself a unique experience. Every one of His followers with a pure heart was deeply moved and exhilarated when they came in contact with Him, like a piece of iron which becomes magnetized when in contact with a magnet. But the case of Badi was a special one. Haji Mirza Haydar-'Ali, the account of whose life and services have been given in previous volumes[1] and who is often remembered as the 'Angel of Mount Carmel'--a designation by which 'Abdu'l-Baha had called him--has explained some of his experiences in the presence of Baha'u'llah in 'Akka and made a comment about Badi'. Haji Mirza Haydar-'Ali describes the effect of being in the presence of Baha'u'llah when He chanted a Tablet He had revealed for <p182> him. This is the translation of some of his words:\nThis Tablet... was chanted by the Beauty of the All-Bountiful.[1]\nWhat an effect it had on me! To what a world\ndid I ascend! To what a paradise did I enter! What did I see!\nIn what way did I hear that voice and that melody!...\nThese I cannot tell. I entered that Paradise which no eye had\nseen, and no ear had heard, nor any heart had felt. I saw the\nKingdom of grandeur and majesty, and felt the might, the\ntranscendent power, the glory, and the sovereignty of the\never-living, the ever-abiding, the incomparable God. But to\nspeak of it, write about it, give an image or likeness of it,\nexalt and sanctify it, allude to it, extol and Praise it, or\ndescribe and narrate it, all these are impossible for this\nhumble servant or anyone else in the world. We have only\naccess to words and terms, whereas that experience and\ncondition are exalted above all things. They cannot be put\ninto words or described by talks. No one can interpret the\ninner feelings of one's conscience... But this condition\nremains only for a single moment. It is a fleeting experience.\nIts manifestation within the human being is due to a special\nbounty of God. Its duration, varying from the twinkling of\nan eye to a longer period, depends upon one's capacity to\nbecome the recipient of this bounty. The deeds and actions\nof the person demonstrate its existence. But it has never\nbeen heard that this condition lasted for three or four\nmonths in a person except in Badi'...(6)\n[1 Baha'u'llah. [A.T.]]\nWhen Badi' learnt that Baha'u'llah was looking for someone to deliver a special Tablet to Nasiri'd-Din Shah, he begged to be allowed to carry out this service, knowing full well that he would have to lay down his life. Baha'u'llah accepted him for this important mission, instructed him to proceed to Haifa where he would be given the Tablet and instructed him also not to associate with any believer, either on the way or in Tihran. The Tablet to the Shah of Persia was not handed to Badi' in 'Akka. Baha'u'llah entrusted Haji Shah-Muhammad- <p183> i-Amin[1] with a small case and a Tablet to be delivered into the hands of Badi'.\n[1 The first Trustee of Baha'u'llah; see p. 73.]\nThe following is the story as recounted by Haji Shah-Muhammad to Haji Mirza Haydar-'Ali and recorded by the latter.\n... I was given a small case... and was instructed to hand it\nto Badi' at Haifa together with a small sum of money. I did\nnot know anything about the contents of the case. I met him\nat Haifa and gave him the glad-tidings that he had been\nhonoured with a trust... We left the town and walked up\nMount Carmel where I handed him the case. He took it into\nhis hands, kissed it and knelt with his forehead to the\nground. I also delivered to him a sealed envelope [a Tablet of\nBaha'u'llah for Badi' himself]. He took twenty or thirty\npaces, sat down facing the most Holy Court ['Akka], read\nthe Tablet and again prostrated himself to the ground. His\nface was illumined with the radiance of ecstasy and the\ntidings of joy. I asked him if I could read the Tablet also. He\nreplied: 'There is no time.' I knew it was all a confidential\nmatter. But what it was, I had no idea. I could not imagine\nsuch a mission.\nI mentioned that we had better go to the town [Haifa] in\norder that, as instructed [by Baha'u'llah] I might give him\nsome money. He said, 'I will not come to the town; you go\nand bring it here.' I went; when I returned I could not find\nhim, in spite of much searching. He had gone... We had no\nnews of him until we heard of his martyrdom in Tihran.\nThen I knew that the case had contained the Tablet of\nBaha'u'llah to the Shah and the sealed envelope contained a\nTablet which imparted the glad-tidings of the martyrdom of\nthe one who was the essence of steadfastness and strength.(7)\nThe same chronicler has written the following account given by a certain believer, Haji 'Ali, who met Badi' on his way to Persia and travelled with him for some distance:\nHe was a very happy person, smiling, patient, thankful, <p184>\ngentle and humble. All that we knew about him was that he\nhad attained the presence of Baha'u'llah and was now\nreturning to his home in Khurasan. Many a time he could be\nseen walking about a hundred feet from the road in either\ndirection, turning his face towards 'Akka, prostrating\nhimself to the ground saying: 'O God! do not take back\nthrough Thy justice what thou hast vouchsafed unto me\nthrough Thy bounty and grant me strength for its\nprotection.'(8)\nThe Tablet(9) that Baha'u'llah sent to Badi' himself when he was in Haifa is very moving and beautiful. In it He calls him by his new name Badi', exhorts him to put on the new and wonderful robe of the remembrance of God and crown himself with the crown of His Love. He reminds him that earthly life will eventually come to an end, and urges him to sacrifice his mortal frame in the path of the Beloved, so that he may attain to everlasting life and eternal glory.\nBadi' travelled on foot all the way to Tihran. On arrival in the summer of 1869, he discovered that the King was on a camping expedition. He made his way to the area and sat on top of a rock far away, but opposite the royal pavilion. There he sat for three days and three nights in a state of fasting and prayer, awaiting the passing of the royal escort. What thoughts must have passed through his mind as he communed with his Lord, and what feelings of emotion must have filled his being as he sat so close to fulfilling the sacred mission with which he was entrusted, no one can say. One thing we can be sure of, that he possessed a supreme power and a supreme joy and was confident of victory.\nOn the fourth day, the Shah looking through his binoculars spotted a man dressed in a white garb sitting motionless and in a most respectful attitude on a rock opposite. He guessed that he had some demand to make for justice or was seeking help for his difficulties. He sent his men to find out who he was and what he wanted. Badi' told them that he had a letter from a very important personage for the Shah and must hand it to him <p185> personally. The officers searched him and then brought him to the King. It seems very surprising that these officials, drunk with pride, ruthless and cruel in every way, did not grab the letter from him and walk away. The only explanation is that they must have felt the extraordinary power with which Baha'u'llah had invested His messenger. Otherwise, it was very unusual to allow an ordinary citizen to come and meet the sovereign face to face.\nOnly those well versed in the history of Persia in the nineteenth century can appreciate the immense dangers which faced an ordinary person like Badi' wishing to meet a palace official, let alone the King. A despot such as Nasiri'd-Din Shah ruled his country with a rod of iron. The government officials showed their authority through tyranny. They were accustomed to deal ruthlessly with anyone who dared to utter a word, or raise a finger against them or the established regime. The mere sighting of a soldier wearing the military uniform, or of a low-ranking government officer, was sufficient to frighten people away. As these men passed through the streets most people showed their respect for them; sometimes they had to bribe them and the timid often ran away.\nTo meet the King was far more frightful! When the forward section of the royal escort arrived in the street, the cry of the herald who announced to the public the approach of the King's entourage would strike terror into the hearts of the citizens. It was a familiar term to all when he shouted: 'Everyone die', 'Everyone go blind.' The significance of these instructions was that as the King and his men passed by, everyone must stand still as a dead corpse and all eyes must be cast down as if blind.\nKnowing the circumstances which prevailed at the time, we can appreciate the courage and steadfastness of Badi' and the spirit of ascendancy and superhuman audacity which this youth of seventeen manifested as he stood assured and confident, straight as an arrow, face to face with the King. Calmly and courteously he handed him the Tablet and in a loud voice movingly called out the celebrated verse from the <p186> Qur'an: 'O King, I have come unto thee from Sheba with a weighty message.'[1]\n[1 Qur'an xxvii, 22. This verse differs slightly from what Badi' uttered in the presence of the Shah. The verse refers to words which were addressed to Solomon by his messenger, Hoopoe, a mystical bird, when it brought for him tidings from Sheba.]\nBadi' was arrested. The Shah, who must have remembered the attempt on his life by two Babis about two decades earlier, was taken aback by the courage and fearlessness of Baha'u'llah's messenger. Sending the message to Mulla 'Aliy-i-Kani, a well-known Muslim divine, to provide an answer, he ordered his men to get from Badi', first through persuasion and promises, and then by torture if he refused to cooperate, the names of other Baha'is. The officer in charge was Kazim Khan-i-Qarachih-Daghi. When he failed to persuade Badi' to reveal names of other Baha'is to him, he ordered that he be stripped of his clothes and branded several times with hot bars of iron. Badi' endured these tortures for three successive days with a fortitude that astonished the officials who were watching him. They saw him utterly joyous while being tortured. It seemed to them that he was not feeling the pain; he often seemed to be laughing. This in spite of the fact that at times the smoke and smell created by the burning flesh was so intense that some officials could not stand it and had to leave the tent. The Shah, who was usually eager to see the photographs of prisoners, ordered a photograph to be taken of Badi', especially when he had heard the stories of his fortitude under torture. This photograph shows the brazier of fire containing the rods of iron in the foreground and is the best testimony to the spirit of steadfastness and resignation, of calm and assurance which Badi''s face portrays.\nAs the three successive days of torture by branding yielded no information about the identity of other believers, the Chief Officer, Kazim Khan, threatened Badi' with death unless he cooperated. Badi' smiled at this threat and, as he did not reveal any name, his head was beaten to a pulp with a butt of a rifle. <p187> His body was thrown into a pit and earth and stones heaped upon it. This was in July 1869.\nIn 1913 when 'Abdu'l-Baha visited Paris, a high-ranking Persian officer by the name of Muhammad-Vali Khan, a Field Marshal (Sipah-Salar-i-A'zam), was staying in Paris for medical treatment. Mme. Dreyfus-Barney, a devoted American believer, met this man. Mme. Barney had in earlier years attained the presence of 'Abdu'l-Baha in the Holy Land and had asked many questions of Him. 'Abdu'l-Baha's answers were written down and later compiled by her and published under the title Some Answered Questions.\nIn Paris Mme. Dreyfus-Barney, having met the above-named Persian officer, presented him with a copy of that book. When Muhammad-Vali Khan read the account given by 'Abdu'l-Baha of Baha'u'llah's Tablets to the kings including Nasiri'd-Din Shah, he took up his pen and wrote in the margin some first-hand information he had personally heard from the fore-mentioned Kazim Khan, the officer in charge who tortured and eventually martyred Badi'. This is a translation of his notes:\n6 Rabi'u'l-Avval 1331\nParis, Hotel d'Albe, Avenue Champs Elysee\nThat year, when this letter [Baha'u'llah's Tablet] was sent,\nthe messenger came to the Shah in the summer resort of Lar,\nand this is the full account of what happened.\nThe late Nasiri'd-Din Shah was very fond of the summer\nresorts of Lar, Nur[1] and Kujur. He ordered my father,\nSa'idu'd-Dawlih the Sardar [Sirdar], and myself (then a\nyouth with the rank of Sarhang [Colonel]) to go to Kujur\nand find provisions and victuals or the royal camp.[2] 'I am <p188>\ncoming', he said, 'to the summer resort of Lar and from\nthere to the resort of Baladih of Nur and thence to Kujur.'\nThese resorts adjoin each other and are contiguous. My\nfather and I were in the environs of Manjil-i-Kujur when\nnews reached us that the Shah had arrived at Lar, and that\nthere he had put someone to death, by having him strangled.\nThen it was reported that this man [who was put to death]\nwas a messenger of the Babis. At that time the word 'Baha'i'\nwas not known and we had never heard it. All the people\nrejoiced over the slaying of that messenger. Then the Shah\ncame to Baladih of Nur. My father and I went forth to greet\nhim. Near the village of Baladih, where a large river flows,\nthey had set up the Shah's pavilion, but the Shah had not yet\narrived. Kazim Khan-i-Turk, the Farrash-Bashi of the Shah,\nhad brought the advance equipage.[3] We wanted to pass\nby. My father, who had the rank of Mir-Panj [General] and\nhad not yet received the title of Sa'idu'd-Dawlih, was\nacquainted with this Kazim Khan. He told me, 'Let us go\nand Visit this Farrash-Bashi.' We rode up to the pavilion and\ndismounted. Kazim Khan was seated with much pomp in\nhis tent. We entered the tent. He received my father\nrespectfully and showed me great kindness. We sat down\nand tea was served. The talk was about the journey. Then\nmy father said, 'Your Honour the Farrash-Bashi, who was\nthis Babi and how was he put to death?' He replied, 'O Mir-Panj!\nlet me tell you a tale. This man was a strange creature.\nAt Safid-Ab-i-Lar, the Shah mounted to go hunting. As it\nhappened I had not mounted. Suddenly I saw two cavalrymen\ngalloping towards me. The Shah had sent for me. I\nimmediately mounted, and when I reached the Shah, he told\nme that a Babi had brought a letter. \"I ordered his arrest,\"\nthe Shah said, \"and he is now in the custody of Kishikchi-Bashi\n[Head of the Sentries]. Go and take him to the\nFarrash-Khanih. Deal with him gently at first, but if not <p189>\nsuccessful use every manner of force to make him confess\nand reveal who his friends are and where they are to be\nfound--until I return from the hunt.\" I went, took him\nfrom the Kishikchi-Bashi and brought him away, hands and\narms tied. But let me tell you something of the sagacity and\nthe alertness of the Shah. This man was unmounted in that\nplain and as soon as he raised his paper to say that he had a\nletter to deliver, the Shah sensed that he must be a Babi and\nordered his arrest and the removal of any letter he had. He\nwas then detained but had not given his letter to anyone and\nhad it in his pocket. I took this messenger home. At first I\nspoke to him kindly and gently; \"Give me a full account of\nall this. Who gave you this letter? From where have you\nbrought it? How long ago was it? Who are your comrades?\"\nHe said, \"This letter was given to me in 'Akka by Hadrat-i-Baha'u'llah.[4]\nHe told me: 'You will have to go to Iran, all\nalone, and somehow deliver this letter to the Shah of Iran.\nBut your life may be endangered. If you accept that, go;\notherwise I will send another messenger.' I accepted the\ntask. It is now three months since I left. I have been looking\nfor an opportunity to give this letter into the hands of the\nShah and bring it to his notice. And thanks be to God that\ntoday I rendered my service. If you want Baha'is, they are\nnumerous in Iran, and if you want my comrades, I was all\nalone and have none.\" I pressed him to tell me the names of\nhis comrades and the names of the Baha'is of Iran,\nparticularly those of Tihran. And he persisted with his\ndenial: \"I have no comrade and I do not know the Baha'is of\nIran. I swore to him: \"If you tell me these names I will\nobtain your release from the Shah and save you from\ndeath.\" His reply to me was: \"I am longing to be put to\ndeath. Do you think that you frighten me?\" Then I sent for\nthe bastinado,[5] and farrashes (six at a time) started to beat\nhim. No matter how much he was beaten he never cried out,\nnor did he implore. When I saw how it was I had him\nreleased from the bastinado and brought him to sit beside <p190>\nme and told him once again: \"Give me the names of your\ncomrades.\" He did not answer me at all and began to laugh.\nIt seemed as if all that beating had not harmed him in any\nway. This made me angry. I ordered a branding-iron to be\nbrought and a lighted brazier.[6] While they were preparing\nthe brazier I said: \"Come and speak the truth, else I will\nhave you branded\"; and at that I noticed that his laughter\nincreased. Then I had him bastinadoed again. Beating him\nthat much tired out the farrashes. I myself was also tired out.\nSo I had him untied and taken to the back of another tent,\nand told the farrashes that by dint of branding they ought to\nget a confession from him. They applied red-hot iron\nseveral times to his back and chest. I could hear the sizzling\nnoise of the burning flesh and smell it too. But no matter\nhow hard we tried we could get nothing out of him. It was\nabout sunset that the Shah returned from hunting and\nsummoned me. I went to him and related all that had\nhappened. The Shah insisted that I should make him confess\nand then put him to death. So I went back and had him\nbranded once again. He laughed under the impact of the\nred-hot iron and never implored. I even consented that this\nfellow should say that what he had brought was a petition\nand make no mention of a letter. Even to that he did not\nconsent. Then I lost my temper and ordered a plank to be\nbrought. A farrash, who wielded a pounder used for\nramming in iron pegs, put this man's head on the plank, and\nstood over him with the raised pounder. I told him: \"If you\ndivulge the names of your comrades you will be released,\notherwise I will order them to bring that pounder down on\nyour head.\" He began to laugh and give thanks for having\ngained his object. I consented that he should say it was a\npetition he had brought, not a letter. He even would not say\nthat. And all those red-hot rods applied to his flesh caused\nhim no anguish. So, in the end, I gave a sign to the farrash,\nand he brought down the pounder on this fellow's head. His <p191>\nskull was smashed and his brain oozed through his nostrils.\nThen I went myself and reported it all to the Shah.'\n[1 Baha'u'llah's ancestral home is in the district of Nur (Nur means light). (A.T.)]\n[2 When Nasiri'd-Din Shah went on a hunting expedition or touring in the summer he took a large entourage with him. They included his ministers, thousands of troops with their officers, servants and executioners. (A.T.)]\n[3 He is the same Kazim Khan-i-Qarachih-Daghi whose father, Isma'il Khan, was a son-in-law of Fath-'Ali Shah and was present at the conference in Tabriz when the Bab formally proclaimed his prophetic mission to the company of divines and Nasiri'd-Din Mirza, heir to the throne. (A.T.)]\n[4 His Holiness Baha'u'llah. (H.M.B.)]\n[5The victim is made to lie on his back while his feet, inserted in a loop are raised and the soles beaten with a cane or a whip. (A.T.)]\n[6 Branding a person was a common form of torture in those days in Persia. Rods of iron were placed in a brazier full of burning coal. When the rod, became red hot they were placed on the naked body of a person and kept in that position until they got cold. (A.T.)]\nThis Kazim Khan-i-Farrash-Bashi was astounded by that\nman's behaviour and endurance, astonished that all the\nbeatings and application of red-hot metal to his body had no\neffect on him, causing him no distress... That same letter\nthe Shah sent to Tihran for Mulla 'Aliy-i-Kani and other\nmullas to read and to answer. But they said that there was\nnothing to answer; and Haji Mulla 'Ali wrote to\nMustawfiyu'l-Mamalik (who was the Premier at the time)\nto tell the Shah that, 'If, God forbid, you should have any\ndoubts regarding Islam and your belief is not firm enough, I\nought to take action to dispel your doubts. Otherwise such\nletters have no answer. The answer was exactly what you\ndid to his messenger. Now you must write to the Ottoman\nSultan to be very strict with him and prevent all\ncommunications.' Sultan 'Abdu'l-'Aziz was living then. It\nwas during his reign.\n27 Rabi'u'l-Avval 1331, 2 March AD 1913\nWritten at the Hotel d'Albe in Paris.\nTonight I could not sleep. Mme. Dreyfus had sent me this\nbook and I had not yet read it. It is early morning. I opened\nthe book and read on till I reached the theme of Letters to\nthe Kings, and to Nasiri'd-Din Shah. Because I had been\nthere on that journey and had heard this account personally\nfrom Kazim Khan-i-Farrash-Bashi, I wrote it down.\nA year and a half later, on the journey to Karbila, this\nKazim Khan went mad. The Shah had him chained and he\ndied miserably. The year I went to Tabriz, as the Governor-General\nof Adharbayjan, I found a grandson of his, begging.\n'Take heed, O people of insight and understanding.'\nMuhammad-Vali, Sipahdar-i-A'zam.(10)\nThe Shah is reported to have been immensely displeased with the attitude of the divines in refusing to meet the challenge and write an answer to Baha'u'llah, but he could do nothing to change their decision. <p192>\nThe Fortitude of the Martyrs\nThat Badi' endured such unbearable tortures with joy and seemed not to feel the pain during those sessions of torture is no unique event in the history of the Faith. Numerous were other martyrs during the Dispensations of the Bab and Baha'u'llah who gave their lives willingly and demonstrated to the public in no uncertain terms that they were longing to attain the crown of martyrdom in the path of their Lord. They demonstrated a heroism and a self-sacrifice unprecedented in the annals of mankind. There are many who endured agonizing tortures and did not appear to feel the pain. A notable example is Mulla Muhammad-Riday-i-Muhammad-Abadi otherwise known as Shaykh Riday-i-Yazdi.\nThe story of Mulla Rida in prison is recounted in a previous volume.[1] The gaoler and his men flogged his bare back most brutally for a considerable time. And yet he raised not the faintest cry and showed not the slightest expression of agony on his face. At the end of the ordeal he confided to his fellow Baha'i prisoner that he had never felt the slightest pain and that during the beating he was in the presence of Baha'u'llah, communing with Him.\n[1 See vol. 1, p. 88. For a similar story, when Mulla Rida was bastinadoed see vol. 1, pp. 85-6.]\nMulla Rida and Badi' were not the only ones who showed this extraordinary fortitude. The history of the Faith is replete with similar stories. The power of faith is such that, as Christ affirmed, it can move mountains. In the Writings of Baha'u'llah we can find similar statements affirming that when man acquires faith, he can accomplish great tasks consistent with the measure of his faith.\nLet us try to discover, through the study of the Writings as well a s the history of the Cause, the reason for this extraordinary fortitude shown by many martyrs of the Faith. History confirms that any time a believer has been conducted to the scene of his martyrdom by his would-be executioners or <p193> has been savagely tortured prior to his death, he has been faced with making a choice between giving his life in the path of God, or recanting his faith as a result of which he would be set free.\nIf at that moment of decision he is unable to sever himself from the things of the world, from its delights and pleasures, or from the joys and contentment of life at home where he could continue to live among his loved ones, then such a person remains fully attached to this world and consequently severs his connection with Baha'u'llah. It is at this point under the threat of death that the individual becomes deprived of the sustaining power of Baha'u'llah, and as a result becomes filled with such fear that he will recant his faith in order to save his own life. Although counted as one of the believers before he was confronted with these severe tests and trials; yet because he has not been able to detach himself from worldly affections, he succumbs under the pressure of tests, and like a man who has been standing on the summit of a lofty mountain, falls into the abyss.\nWe have already discussed in great detail the idea that the only barrier which separates man from the Manifestation of God is attachment to this world. It is this barrier that stops the flow of divine power to the human soul and denudes the individual of the mantle of courage and faith.\nOn the other hand, if the believer at the hour of his gravest test decides not to barter the precious gift of his faith for this transitory life, such a person reaches the pinnacle of detachment. This is the absolute limit, for there can be no greater detachment than to give one's life. The moment that this decision is made, by virtue of becoming completely detached from this world, he becomes filled with such powers from on high as to become a spiritual giant. The confirmations of Baha'u'llah will instantly descend on him and will surround and strengthen him.\nAlthough he still tarries among men, in reality he is transported into another world. Fear will completely <p194> disappear from his being. Instead his face will radiate such joy and strength that it bewilders the onlookers as they see him give his life.\nBaha'u'llah confirms in many of His Tablets that great powers will descend upon a soul who becomes detached from the things of this world. To cite an example, in one of His Tablets[11] He states that if a believer becomes detached from all save God, He will be enabled to influence the realities of all created things, and to do anything he desires. Such a person will not observe anything but the face of his Beloved and will be afraid of no one even if all the peoples of the world arise against him.\nThose few such as Badi' or Mulla Rida who have ascended the pinnacle of faith, were possessed of extraordinary powers including superhuman fortitude. They were so drawn to Baha'u'llah that physical separation from Him did not sever the link of the true communion with Him. That they considered themselves in the presence of Baha'u'llah was not a mere expression of words or an illusion. It must have been a real experience for them. Badi', for example, at the time of his martyrdom or during those many hours of torture, was so closely linked with Baha'u'llah and saw himself so truly in the presence of his Beloved that he was not affected by any affliction whatsoever.\nTo appreciate such a state of being is not possible for anyone who has not reached to the loftiest summit of faith. But thousands of men and women who went to the field of martyrdom and joyously laid down their lives in the path of God must have experienced the presence of Baha'u'llah so vividly and with such real feeling that the giving of life became a Joy instead of torture. To cite an example, the following is a story which Haji Muhammad-Tahir-i-Malmiri[12] has recounted about Mirza Aqay-i-Halabi Saz who was a devoted believer and had had the privilege of attaining the presence of Baha'u'llah. He was a tinsmith and had a shop in one of the bazaars of Yazd. In 1891, seven Baha'is were put to death by <p195> the order of Mahmud Mirza, the Jalalu'd-Dawlih, the Governor of Yazd. They are known as the first seven martyrs of Yazd, the story of whose martyrdom Baha'u'llah wrote to The Times of London.[1] The seven were chained together and conducted towards the bazaar amid scenes of jubilation, and at each major crossroads one of them was executed in a most barbaric fashion. The other believers who were shopkeepers or merchants were ordered to stay at their premises and were forced to join others in decorating their shops to celebrate the event.\n[1 An account of this will appear in the next volume.]\nHaji Mirza was sitting in his shop, his heart filled with grief owing to the tragic turn of events. Then came the tense moment when the few remaining of the seven, chained together, passed in front of his shop. The next junction where one of them was to be beheaded was not far away and could be easily sighted. Haji Muhammad-Tahir-i-Malmiri has recounted that Haji Mirza used to tell the believers in Yazd of his unusual experience on that occasion. He saw to his great surprise that Baha'u'llah Himself passed in front of his shop only a few hundred paces behind the martyrs-to-be and was walking quickly in order to reach them. Haji Mirza immediately stepped out of his shop to follow Baha'u'llah, who signalled him with the movement of His hand that he should return to the shop. From there, Haji Mirza looked out and saw that Baha'u'llah reached the party at the junction and at that very moment the executioner removed the chain from one man and executed him.\nOf course, Haji Mirza knew that Baha'u'llah was in 'Akka and not in Yazd, but he had no doubt that it was Baha'u'llah whom he saw in the bazaar. From this amazing vision he realized that the martyrs were not alone at the time of martyrdom, that their unparalleled courage and heroism was not entirely due to themselves, that Baha'u'llah strengthened them with His unfailing power and that those who had reached the pinnacle of faith and assurance were bound to feel the <p196> presence of Baha'u'llah at their side. It is interesting to note that some years later, Haji Mirza himself was martyred in Yazd.[1]\n[1 For a story of his life see vol. 2, pp. 358-68.]\nWhat Haji Mirza witnessed in the bazaar, although there is no way of proving it, was not mere imagination. The Revelation of Baha'u'llah is not a man-made, man-inspired cult. Any cult which the minds of men have created can only be expressed within the bounds of man's experience by virtue of its limitations. On the contrary, the Revelation of Baha'u'llah has originated from God, it has released unimaginable potentialities, both material and spiritual, within human society and like other religions it has brought forth mysteries which human beings can in no wise fathom. The history of the Faith shows episodes similar to that experienced by Haji Mirza.\nTo cite one example: when the Bab was imprisoned in the castle of Mah-Ku, the warden of the Castle was a man named 'All-Khan, who discharged his functions with the utmost severity and refused to allow any of the followers of the Bab to gain admittance into His presence. Shaykh Hasan-i-Zunuzi, one of the ardent disciples of the Bab, came to Mah-Ku, but was refused admission. Nabil-i-A'zam has recounted the following story as related by Siyyid Husayn-i-Yazdi, the amanuensis of the Bab:\n'For the first two weeks,' Siyyid Husayn further related, 'no\none was permitted to visit the Bab. My brother and I alone\nwere admitted to His presence. Siyyid Hasan would, every\nday, accompanied by one of the guards, descend to the town\nand purchase our daily necessities. Shaykh Hasan-i-Zunuzi,\nwho had arrived at Mah-Ku, spent the nights in a masjid\noutside the gate of the town. He acted as an intermediary\nbetween those of the followers of the Bab who occasionally\nvisited Mah-Ku and Siyyid Hasan, my brother, who would\nin turn submit the petitions of the believers to their Master\nand would acquaint Shaykh Hasan with His reply. <p197>\n'One day the Bab charged my brother to inform Shaykh\nHasan that He would Himself request 'Ali Khan to alter his\nattitude towards the believers who visited Mah-Ku and to\nabandon his severity. \"Tell him,\" He added, \"I will\ntomorrow instruct the warden to conduct him to this\nplace.\" I was greatly surprised at such a message. How\ncould the domineering and self-willed 'Ali Khan, I thought\nto myself, be induced to relax the severity of his discipline?\nEarly the next day, the gate of the castle being still closed,\nwe were surprised by a sudden knock at the door, knowing\nfull well that orders had been given that no one was to be\nadmitted before the hour of sunrise. We recognised the\nvoice of 'Ali Khan, who seemed to be expostulating with the\nguards, one of whom presently came in and informed me\nthat the warden of the castle insisted on being allowed\nadmittance into the presence of the Bab. I conveyed his\nmessage and was commanded to usher him at once into His\npresence. As I was stepping out of the door of His\nantechamber, I found 'Ali Khan standing at the threshold in\nan attitude of complete submission, his face betraying an\nexpression of unusual humility and wonder. His self-assertiveness\nand pride seemed to have entirely vanished.\nHumbly and with extreme courtesy, he returned my salute\nand begged me to allow him to enter the presence of the Bab.\nI conducted him to the room which my Master occupied\nHis limbs trembled as he followed me. An inner agitation\nwhich he could not conceal brooded over his face. The Bab\narose from His seat and welcomed him. Bowing reverently,\n'Ali Khan approached and flung himself at His feet.\n\"Deliver me,\" he pleaded, \"from my perplexity. I adjure\nYou, by the Prophet of God, Your illustrious Ancestor, to\ndissipate my doubts, for their weight has well-nigh crushed\nmy heart. I was riding through the wilderness and was\napproaching the gate of the town, when, it being the hour of\ndawn, my eyes suddenly beheld You standing by the side of\nthe river engaged in offering Your prayer. With\noutstretched arms and upraised eyes, You were invoking\nthe name of God. I stood still and watched You. I was\nwaiting for You to terminate Your devotions that I might <p198>\napproach and rebuke You for having ventured to leave the\ncastle without my leave. In Your communion with God,\nYou seemed so wrapt in worship that You were utterly\nforgetful of Yourself. I quietly approached You; in Your\nstate of rapture, You remained wholly unaware of my\npresence. I was suddenly seized with great fear and recoiled\nat the thought of awakening You from Your ecstasy. I\ndecided to leave You, to proceed to the guards and to\nreprove them for their negligent conduct. I soon found out,\nto my amazement, that both the outer and inner gates were\nclosed. They were opened at my request, I was ushered into\nyour presence, and now find You, to my wonder, seated\nbefore me. I am utterly confounded. I know not whether\nmy reason has deserted me.\" The Bab answered and said:\n\"What you have witnessed is true and undeniable. You\nbelittled this Revelation and have contemptuously\ndisdained its Author. God, the All-Merciful, desiring not to\nafflict you with His punishment, has willed to reveal to your\neyes the Truth. By His Divine interposition, He has\ninstilled into your heart the love of His chosen One, and\ncaused you to recognize the unconquerable power of His\nFaith.\"'\nThis marvellous experience completely changed the heart\nof 'All Khan. Those words had calmed his agitation and\nsubdued the fierceness of his animosity. By every means in\nhis power, he determined to atone for his past behaviour. 'A\npoor man, a shaykh,' he hastily informed the Bab, 'is\nyearning to attain Your presence. He lives in a masjid\noutside the gate of Mah-Ku. I pray You that I myself be\nallowed to bring him to this place that he may meet You. By\nthis act I hope that my evil deeds may be forgiven, that I may\nbe enabled to wash away the stains of my cruel behaviour\ntoward Your friends.' His request was granted, whereupon\nhe went straightway to Shaykh Hasan-i-Zunuzi and\nconducted him into the presence of his Master.(13)\nThe Station of Badi'\nReturning to the story of Badi': after his martyrdom, the Pen <p199> of Baha'u'llah lamented his sufferings, extolled his act of self-sacrifice and heroism and referred to him as the 'Pride of Martyrs' (Fakhru'sh-Shuhada). In almost every Tablet revealed in a space of three years, He referred to Badi' in glowing terms, recalling his martyrdom and his indomitable faith. And these Tablets He designated as the 'Salt of My Tablets '.\nIn these Tablets, Baha'u'llah not only glorifies the station of Badi', but also attaches great importance to the proclamation of His message to the Shah of Persia. In one of these Tablets(l4) He states in referring to Badi' that He had offered up the life of one of His servants after having created him anew with the hands of might and power, and sent him straight into the mouth of a serpent, so that the peoples of the world might become assured that the Almighty God stands transcendent and supreme over His creation. Baha'u'llah further states that He sent Badi' with a Book in which He had proclaimed His Cause and declared conclusively His proofs to all humanity: He affirms that He had removed from the person of Badi' every trace of fear, adorned him with the ornament of faith and power, fired his soul with the utterance of a Word and sent him out as a ball of fire to proclaim His Cause.\nStatements such as these may be found in numerous Tablets which flowed from the Pen of Baha'u'llah during these three years.\nThe proclamation of the Cause of Baha'u'llah to the Shah of Persia had a special significance. This momentous Tablet,[1] handed to the person of the sovereign himself, was meant to introduce the Faith of Baha'u'llah in its true perspective to the inhabitants of Persia. The people in that country knew a good deal about the Babi Faith and the majority were antagonistic to it. For over two decades the people of Persia had witnessed memorable acts of heroism performed by that small band of God-intoxicated heroes whose devotion and self-sacrifice had lit a great conflagration throughout the country.\n[1 The main topics of the Lawh-i-Sultan (Tablet to the Shah) are briefly described in vol. 2, pp. 337-57.] <p200>\nThe Message of the Bab, the accounts of His martyrdom and the transforming power of His Cause had already reached every corner of that land and from there its reverberations had echoed to the western world. But the people of Persia did not differentiate between the Revelation of Baha'u'llah and that of the Bab. Most people considered the Baha'i Faith to be the same as the Babi Faith and did not appreciate the vast differences in the teachings of the two.\nAs attested by Baha'u'llah in a Tablet,(15) not until this momentous epistle was delivered to the King had the nature of the Cause of God, or the claims of its Founder, or its principles and teachings, been clearly enunciated to those who held the reins of power in their hands. He mentions in the same Tablet that before Badi' had delivered that weighty epistle to the King, God's testimony had not been fulfilled and the conclusive proofs of His Faith had not been declared. But after the proclamation of His Message, there was no remaining excuse for anyone to arise against His Cause. And, since the people of Persia did not respond to the Call of God, which was clearly raised in that Message, sufferings and tribulations which had already been prophesied by the Pen of Baha'u'llah descended upon them as a punishment from God.\nDivine Chastisement\nIn one instance this took the form of a famine which soon after the martyrdom of Badi' claimed the lives of a great many people in that land. The effect of the famine was so devastating that Haji Mulla 'Ali-Akbar-i-Shahmirzadi, known as Haji Akhund,[1] wrote a letter to Baha'u'llah, begged forgiveness for the people of Persia and asked for relief in their sufferings. In a Tablet to him,[16] Baha'u'llah affirms that the famine was God's punishment for the martyrdom of Badi', declares that prior to <p201> that He had prophesied in His Tablets impending afflictions and tribulations, and states that were it not for the sake of the believers, the whole nation would have been struck down by God. He then responds favourably to Haji Akhund's intercession and assures him that soon the situation would change and God would grant them relief.\n[1 One of the four Hands of the Cause whom Baha'u'llah appointed a few years before the end of His life. We shall write about this in the next volume.]\nIn one of the forementioned Tablets,(17) Baha'u'llah states that after the proclamation of His Message to the Shah of Persia, and through Him to the public, there was no excuse left for anyone. He then makes an interesting comment about the inevitability of God's punishment and states that the believers ought to meditate as to why the wrath of God, which afflicted the people so promptly, had allowed the Shah himself a period of respite.\nThis is a point which had puzzled many believers in relation to Nasiri'd-Din Shah, stigmatized by Baha'u'llah as the 'Prince of Oppressors', one who had inflicted so much persecution on the followers of the Bab and Baha'u'llah. Yet in spite of all his cruel acts he reigned for fifty years, whereas Napoleon's downfall was precipitated so soon after Baha'u'llah's warning was issued.\nBaha'u'llah has explained this point in different ways. In one of His Tablets[18] He describes the perversity of the divines in Persia and their continual attacks on the Cause of God from the pulpits and states that if it were not for the mercy of God which pervades all created things, the entire company of the enemies of the Cause of God would have perished. There were two reasons why they were being spared. One was God's forgiveness, and the other, the misdeeds of some who confessed allegiance to His Faith.\nIn order to appreciate the second reason, let us look at the relationship of the believers and Baha'u'llah. The Author of the Faith regards the believers as the 'loved ones' of God. To the non-Baha'i public too, the believers, individually as well as collectively, are so closely linked with Baha'u'llah that their behaviour, whether good or bad, is attributed to Him. <p202> Therefore, every misdeed of a follower of Baha'u'llah could be looked upon by the public as coming from Him. According to Baha'u'llah's statement, the application of God's justice is impeded when someone who deserves punishment has been grievously wronged by those who profess allegiance to His Cause and are associated with His Name. For how can God punish a person for rising up against His Faith, when some of His 'loved ones' have ill-treated him?\nHaji Mirza Habib'u'llah-i-Afnan, who, in company with his illustrious father, Mirza Aqa, entitled Nur'u'd-Din (light of faith),[1] attained the presence of Baha'u'llah in Haifa and 'Akka in 1891, has recorded the following in his memoirs:\n[1 He was one of the distinguished members of the family of the Bab. He was the only son of the sister of the wife of the Bab, a devoted follower of Baha'u'llah and one whose services to the Cause were valued by Him. We shall give a brief account of his life in the next volume.]\nThe late Haji Abu'l-Hasan-i-Shirazi... was present. He\nsubmitted to Baha'u'llah that the reign of Yazid[1] came to an\nend three years after the martyrdom of Imam Husayn,\nwhereas it is almost fifty years since the Martyrdom of the\nBab, and Nasiri'd-Din Shah is still reigning with undiminished\npower. Day and night he is trying his best to\noppose the Cause, and yet God has not seized him, instead\nhe had been given such a long period of respite.\nBaha'u'llah's reply was that this delay was due to an attack\nby some ignorant believers who in the early days of the\nFaith made an attempt on his life. Baha'u'llah assured him\nthat his turn would also come.(19)\n[1 Yazid I, one of the Umayyad Caliphs of Islam, responsible for the martyrdom of Imam Husayn.]\nIn the forementioned Tablet[20] to Haji 'Abdu'l-Majid, the father of Badi', Baha'u'llah states that the Temple of the Cause of God was adorned by Badi' and that his station was so exalted that no pen could describe it. Through him, Baha'u'llah affirms, the pillars of tyranny were shaken and the countenance of victory unveiled itself. He had attained to such <p203> heights in the worlds above that no mention could be made of it.\nIn this Tablet Baha'u'llah reiterates one of the basic teachings of God. He states that he has prescribed unto every son[1] to serve his father and that this is a commandment in the Book of God. He calls upon Haji 'Abdu'l-Majid not only to forgive his son for his failure to serve him during his life, but to be pleased with him.\n[1 This obviously applies to a daughter as well.]\nHaji 'Abdu'l-Majid became one of the proudest fathers when he heard the news of Badi' and the story of his martyrdom. In 1876 he travelled to 'Akka where he attained the presence of Baha'u'llah. Here are his own words:\nOne day I had the honour to be in the presence of the\nBlessed Beauty when He was talking about Badi' who had\nattained His presence, carried His Blessed Tablet to Tihran\n[for Nasiri'd-Din Shah] and won the crown of martyrdom.\nAs He was speaking, my tears were flowing profusely and\nmy beard became wet. Baha'u'llah turned to me and said\n'Aba Badi'! A person who has already spent three-quarters\nof his life should offer up the remainder in the path of God\n...' I asked 'Is it possible that my beard which is now\nsoaked in my tears may one day be dyed crimson with my\nblood?' The Blessed Beauty replied 'God willing...'[21][1]\n[1 The words attributed to Baha'u'llah are not necessarily His exact words.]\nAnd so it happened: the father of Badi' too became a martyr His story is told in a previous volume.[1]\n[2 Vol. 2, pp. 129-36.] <p204>\nThe Death of The Purest Branch\nA little under two years had passed since Baha'u'llah's confinement in the barracks, when suddenly a most tragic event occurred. It was the untimely death of Mirza Mihdi, entitled the Purest Branch, the younger brother of 'Abdu'l-Baha, who was fatally wounded when he fell from the roof of the barracks.\nIn 1848, at a time when the followers of the Bab were engulfed by sufferings and persecutions, a son had been born in Tihran to Baha'u'llah and His illustrious wife Asiyih Khanum, entitled Navvab.[1] He was four years younger than 'Abdu'l-Baha and was given the name 'Mihdi', after a brother of Baha'u'llah who was dear to Him and had died a year before. Later the Pen of the Most High bestowed upon this son the title 'Ghusnu'llahu'l-Athar' (The Purest Branch).\nUnlike 'Abdu'l-Baha, Mirza Mihdi could not remember much of a life of luxury in Tihran, for when he was just over four y ears of age His father had been imprisoned in the Siyah-Chal, and all His possessions plundered and seized by the enemies of the Cause. During the four months that Baha'u'llah lay in that horrible dungeon, the Holy Family spent their days in anguish and fear, not knowing what would happen to Him Often frightened and anxious, this child, tender in age and delicate by nature, found his only shelter and refuge within the arms of a loving and devoted mother. But Providence deprived him of this also. As the journey to Baghdad, undertaken in the severe cold of the winter, was laden with hardships and dangers unbearable for a child as delicate as Mirza Mihdi, he had to be left behind in Tihran in the care of relatives. For about seven years he tasted the agony and heartbreak of separation from his beloved parents. It seems that at this early age, his soul was being prepared by the Almighty through pain and suffering to play a major part in the arena of sacrifice and to shed an imperishable lustre upon the Cause of his heavenly Father.\nMIRZA MIHDI, THE PUREST BRANCH\nhuman race <p205>\nMirza Mihdi was taken to Baghdad to join the Family in the year AH 1276 (circa AD 1860). It was in that city that this pure and holy youth, noted for his meekness, came in touch with the Divine Spirit and was magnetized by the energizing forces of Baha'u'llah's Revelation. From that time on, he devoted every moment of his life to the service of his heavenly Father. He was Baha'u'llah's companion in Baghdad, Adrianople and 'Akka, and served Him as an amanuensis[1] towards the end of his life, leaving to posterity some Tablets in his handwriting. The last ten years of his life were filled with the hardship and suffering inflicted on Baha'u'llah and His companions in the course of the three successive banishments from Baghdad to 'Akka.\n[1 It must be noted that although Mirza Aqa Jan was Baha'u'llah's amanuensis, there were also others who were engaged in this task from time to time.]\nThe Purest Branch resembled 'Abdu'l-Baha, and throughout his short and eventful life he displayed the same spiritual qualities which distinguished his illustrious Brother. The believers loved and venerated him as they did 'Abdu'l-Baha.\nIn 'Akka, the Purest Branch lived in the barracks near his Father. Often he attained the presence of Baha'u'llah late in the afternoon to act as His amanuensis. On 22 June 1870, early in the evening, Baha'u'llah informed His son that he was not needed that day to write and that instead he could go up on the roof for prayer and meditation as was his custom. It was a normal practice of the prisoners to go on the roof for fresh air in the evening of a hot summer day. The Purest Branch had <p206> often paced up and down that roof chanting prayers and meditating. But on that fateful evening as he chanted the verses of the Qasidiy-i-Varqa'iyyih, one of Baha'u'llah's most moving poems revealed in Kurdistan,[1] he was carried away in a state of utter detachment and joy. As he paced along that familiar space wrapped in his customary meditations with his eyes closed, he fell through an open skylight on to an open crate Lying on the floor below. He was badly wounded, and bled profusely. He was so terribly injured that they had to remove his clothes by tearing them from him. The following is a summary of an account given by Husayn-i-Ashchi, the cook in Baha'u'llah's household, and a devoted believer. In this he describes the tragic circumstances of the fall and death of the Purest Branch:\n[1 See vol. 1, pp. 62-4.]\nIt is not possible for anyone to visualize the measure of\nhumility and self-effacement and the intensity of devotion\nand meekness which the Purest Branch evinced in his life.\nHe was a few years younger than the Master, but slightly\ntaller than him. He used to act as Baha'u'llah's amanuensis\nand was engaged in transcribing the Writings... When he\nhad finished writing he was in the habit of going on to the\nroof of the barracks for prayers. There was a skylight, an\nopening in the middle of the roof near where the kitchen\nwas situated. As he was pacing in a state of prayer, attracted\nto the Kingdom of Abha, with his head turned upwards, he\nfell through the skylight down on some hard objects. The\nterrific loud sound of the impact made us all run to the scene\nof the tragedy where we beheld in astonishment what had\nhappened as decreed by God, and were so shocked as to beat\nupon our heads. Then the Ancient Beauty came out of his\nroom and asked what he had done which caused his fall. The\nPurest Branch said that he knew the whereabouts of the\nskylight and in the past had been careful not to come near it,\nbut this time it was his fate to forget about it.\nWe carried his precious person to his room and called a\ndoctor who was an Italian, but he could not help... In spite <p207>\nof much pain and agony, and being weak, he warmly\ngreeted those who came to his bedside, showered an\nabundance of love and favours upon them and apologized to\neveryone, saying he was ashamed that while they were all\nsitting, he had to lie down in their presence...(1)\nMembers of the Holy Family and some of the companions gathered around him and all were so distressed and grief-stricken that 'Abdu'l-Baha with tearful eyes entered the presence of Baha'u'llah, prostrated Himself at His feet and begged for healing. Baha'u'llah is reported to have said 'O my Greatest Branch,[1] leave him in the hands of his God.' He then proceeded to the bedside of his injured son, dismissed everyone from His presence and stayed beside him for some time. Although no one knows what took place in that precious hour between the lover and the Beloved, we can be sure that this son of Baha'u'llah, whose devotion and love for the Cause of His Father knew no bounds, must have been exhilarated by the outpouring of bounties and love from his Lord.\n[1 'Abdu'l-Baha.]\nIt must be remembered that the relationship of Baha'u'llah and the members of His family who remained faithful to the Cause was not identical to the relationship which exists between members of other families. Normally, a father and a son at home have a very intimate and informal attitude towards each other. But in the case of Baha'u'llah and His faithful children, it was very different indeed, although that intimate relationship of father and son did indeed exist. However, the station of Baha'u'llah as a Manifestation of God completely overshadowed His position as a physical father. 'Abdu'l-Baha, the Greatest Holy Leaf and the Purest Branch looked upon Baha'u'llah not merely as their father, but as their Lord. And because they had truly recognized His station, they acted at all times as most humble servants at His threshold. 'Abdu'l-Baha always entered the presence of Baha'u'llah with such genuine humbleness and reverence that no one among His followers <p208> could manifest the spirit of lowliness and utter self-effacement as He did. The humility of 'Abdu'l-Baha as He bowed before His Father, or prostrated Himself at His feet or dismounted His steed when He approached the Mansion in which Baha'u'llah resided, demonstrates this unique relationship which existed between this Father and His faithful sons and daughter.\nIn the light of all this we can appreciate how the Purest Branch must have felt when his Father went to his bedside. What expressions of devotion, love and thanksgiving must have passed through his lips on that occasion, we cannot imagine. All we know is that Baha'u'llah, having the power of life and death in His hands, asked His dying son whether he wished to live. He assured him that if this was his wish God would enable him to recover and grant him good health. But the Purest Branch begged Baha'u'llah to accept his life as a ransom for the opening of the gates of the prison to the face of the many believers who were longing to come and enter the presence of their Lord. Baha'u'llah accepted his sacrifice and he died on 23 June 1870, twenty-two hours after his fall.\nThus ended the life of one of whom Baha'u'llah states that he 'was created of the light of Baha', whose birth had taken place during some of the darkest hours in the history of the Faith, whose infancy had been spent within the cradle of adversity, whose soul at an early age had been set aglow with the fire of ordeal and separation, whose days of joy had been spent in exile and within the walls of a prison, and whose tragic death had clothed him with the crimson vesture of sacrifice, shedding thereby an imperishable lustre upon the Cause of his glorious Father.\nThe death of the Purest Branch within the confines of the prison created a bitter commotion among the companions who lamented the loss of one of the most illustrious among the family of Baha'u'llah. The following is a summary of Husayn-i-Ashchi's notes: <p209>\nWhen the Purest Branch passed away, Shaykh Mahmud[1]\nbegged the Master to allow him to have the honour of\nwashing the body and not to let anyone[2] from the city of\n'Akka perform this service. The Master gave permission. A\ntent was pitched in the middle of the barracks. We placed his\nblessed body upon a table in the middle of the tent and\nShaykh Mahmud began the task of washing it.[3] The loved\nones of God were wailing and lamenting with tearful eyes\nand, like unto moths, were circling around that candle\nwhich the hands of God had lighted. I brought water in and\nwas involved in washing the body. The Master was pacing\nup and down outside the tent. His face betrayed signs of\ndeep sorrow...\n[1 See pp. 65-7.]\n[2 In Islamic countries the body of the dead is washed before being wrapped in a shroud. There are men in every city whose profession is to wash the dead. (A.T.)]\n[3 Another person who took part in washing the body was Mirza Hasan-i-Mazindarani, Baha'u'llah's cousin. See p. 216.]\nThe body after being washed and shrouded was placed\ninside a new casket. At this moment the cry of weeping and\nmourning and sore lamentation rose up to the heavens. The\ncasket was carried high on the shoulders of men out of the\nbarracks with utmost serenity and majesty. It was laid to\nrest outside 'Akka in the graveyard of Nabi Salih... At the\ntime of returning to the barracks an earth tremor shook the\narea and we all knew that it was the effect of the interment of\nthat holy being.[2]\nNabil-i-A'zam has said that he, Siyyid Mihdiy-i-Dahaji[1] and Nabil-i-Qa'ini[2] were in Nazareth when the earth tremor occurred. It lasted for about three minutes and people were frightened. Later when they heard the news of the death of the Purest Branch they realized that it coincided with the timing of his burial and then they knew the reason for it. Baha'u'llah, in one of His Tablets referring to the Purest Branch, confirms the <p210> cause of the earth tremor in these words:\nBlessed art thou and blessed he that turneth unto thee, and\nvisiteth thy grave, and draweth nigh, through thee, unto\nGod, the Lord of all that was and shall be... I testify that\nthou didst return in meekness unto thine abode. Great is thy\nblessedness and the blessedness of them that hold fast unto\nthe hem of thy outspread robe... Thou art, verily, the trust\nof God and His treasure in this land. Erelong will God\nreveal through thee that which He hath desired. He, verily,\nis the Truth, the Knower of things unseen. When thou wast\nlaid to rest in the earth, the earth itself trembled in its\nlonging to meet thee. Thus hath it been decreed, and yet the\npeople perceive not... Were We to recount the mysteries\nof thine ascension, they that are asleep would waken, and all\nbeings would be set ablaze with the fire of the remembrance\nof My Name, the Mighty, the Loving.(3)\nAfter his tragic death the saintly mother of the Purest Branch mourned the passing of her beloved son and wept almost incessantly. When Baha'u'llah assured her that God had accepted her son as a ransom, that the believers might attain the presence of their Beloved and that mankind as a whole be quickened, that noble mother was consoled and her weeping ceased.\nThe blood-stained clothes of the Purest Branch are among the precious relics gathered by the hands of his devoted sister, the Greatest Holy Leaf, and left to posterity as a silent witness to this great sacrifice.\nSoon after the martyrdom of the Purest Branch many restrictions in the barracks were relaxed and several believers who were longing to attain the presence of Baha'u'llah did so. And about four months after this tragic event, Baha'u'llah and His companions left the prison barracks altogether. As we shall see later, Baha'u'llah resided in a house in 'Akka, and soon many pilgrims from Persia came and attained His presence.\nIn December 1939 Shoghi Effendi, the Guardian of the Faith, in the face of great dangers and difficulties and in the <p211> company of a few friends, with great care and with his own hands, removed the rernains of the Purest Branch, together with those of his illustrious mother, from two different cemeteries in 'Akka, and at a profoundly moving ceremony on Christmas Day in the presence of a few believers, carried the caskets on his own shoulders and buried those sacred remains on the slope of Mount Carmel, adjacent to the resting place of the Greatest Holy Leaf and in the vicinity of the Shrine of the Bab.[1]\n[1 See Appendix III. ]\nThe death of the Purest Branch must be viewed as Baha'u'llah's own sacrifice, a sacrifice on the same level as the crucifixion of Christ and the martyrdom of the Bab. Shoghi Effendi, the Guardian of the Faith, states that Baha'u'llah has exalted the death of the Purest Branch to the 'rank of those great acts of atonement associated with Abraham's intended sacrifice of His son, with the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and the martyrdom of the Imam Husayn...'(4) In another instance, Shoghi Effendi states(5) that in the Babi Dispensation, it was the Bab himself who sacrificed His life for the redemption and purification of mankind. In the Dispensation of Baha'u'llah, it was the Purest Branch who gave his life releasing thereby all the forces necessary for bringing about the unity of mankind.\nAlthough we will not be able to fully understand the mystery of sacrifice in this world, we can find through the Writings that there is a tremendous power released when man sacrifices something in the path of God. We have already discussed this theme in volume 2. In one of His Tablets, 'Abdu'l-Baha explains that not until a seed completely disintegrates under the soil can it produce a tree. It is then that an object as insignificant as a seed, by sacrificing itself completely, will be transformed into a mighty tree with branches, fruits and flowers. It is the same when man sacrifices something of his own.\nA human being has two opposite forces working within <p212> him, the animal and the spiritual. The animal nature inclines man to the material world. The Manifestations of God have exhorted their followers to detach themselves from material inclinations so that their spiritual side may dominate over the physical. As we have already stated in this and previous volumes,[1] by detachment is not meant renunciation of the world, mendicancy or asceticism. In a nutshell, detachment is to submit one's will to the will of God and to seek His good pleasure above one's own. Therefore, the challenge to every believer in this life is detachment from all else save God. To become detached from something of this world is often a painful process and this is where sacrifice becomes necessary, because man is attracted to the material world and to his own self by nature. When the believer sacrifices something of this world, an act which entails pain and suffering or deprivation of material benefits, he will attain to a higher spiritual status, depending on the measure of sacrifice.\n[1 For more discussion on this important subject see vols. 1 and 2.]\nAnd when he gives up something dear to him for the sake of the Cause of God, as testified by Baha'u'llah in His writings mysterious forces will be released which will enable the Faith to grow. To offer up one's time, to labour for the establishment of the Faith in a locality, to give up the comforts of home and to go as a Baha'i pioneer to foreign lands, to offer up one's substance for the promotion of the Cause, to be persecuted for one's faith, all these sacrifices are meritorious in the sight of God and will undoubtedly bring victory to the Cause of Baha'u'llah, provided one's motives are pure and sincere. But to lay down one's life in the path of God when circumstances demand it is the ultimate in the realm of sacrifice. It is like a seed which sacrifices its all to the soil. Thousands of martyrs in Persia, faced with the challenge of either relinquishing their Faith or dying, have released enormous spiritual forces for the promotion and consolidation of the Cause of Baha'u'llah by their sacrifice. For two things are primarily responsible for the spreading of the Faith and its <p213> penetration into the hearts of men. One is the outpouring of the world-vivifying, soul-stirring energies of the Revelation of Baha'u'llah which like the rays of the sun in spring give new life to all created things, the other is the blood of the martyr which waters the tree of His Cause. In one of his letters(6) to the believers of the East, Shoghi Effendi has attributed all the great victories of the Cause in the western world, including the conversion to the Faith of Queen Marie of Rumania,[1] to the mysterious forces released by the blood of countless martyrs in Persia. However, in this Dispensation Baha'u'llah has exhorted His followers not to seek martyrdom. He has instead decreed that the believers should live to teach the Faith, and has exalted the reward of teaching to that of martyrdom.[2]\n[1 For further information see God Passes By, pp. 389-95.]\nBeing the sacrifice of Baha'u'llah Himself, the Purest Branch by offering his life as a ransom for the opening of the gates of the prison, released incalculable spiritual energies within human society, energies which in the fullness of time, according to Baha'u'llah, will bring about the unity of the human race. In a prayer revealed by Baha'u'llah on the day that the Purest Branch died, Baha'u'llah has made the following statement which Shoghi Effendi described as 'astounding'.\nGlorified art Thou, O Lord, my God! Thou seest me in the\nhands of Mine enemies, and My son bloodstained before\nThy face, O Thou in Whose hands is the kingdom of all\nnames. I have, O my Lord, offered up that which Thou hast\ngiven Me, that Thy servants may be quickened and all that\ndwell on earth be united.(7)\nWithout these utterances by Baha'u'llah, revealing the tremendous potentialities of this sacrifice, probably no one among His followers could have visualized the significance of the death of this noble son. Quoting the above passages, Shoghi Effendi in a letter addressed to the believers in the East(8) <p214> on the occasion of the transfer of the remains of the Purest Branch and his illustrious mother to their glorious resting places on Mount Carmel, has made it clear that the quickening of the peoples of the world, the unity of the nations on this planet, and the oneness of mankind--which are the primary objectives of this Revelation--will be all realized through the mysterious forces released by the sacrifice of the Purest Branch.\nHow befitting, therefore, that the buildings intended to house the international administrative institutions of the Faith--the vehicle through which the world-redeeming, world-embracing Order of Baha'u'llah is to be established on the surface of this planet, thereby achieving the unity of the human race--are to be situated on the slopes of Mount Carmel around an arc in whose very centre lie not only the remains of the illustrious daughter of Baha'u'llah, the Greatest Holy Leaf, and of her mother, but also those of a noble son sacrificed by his Almighty Father so that we, his servants, 'may be quickened and all that dwell on earth may be united'.\nElaborating on the future unfoldment of the World Centre of the Faith, and its spiritual links with these three members of Baha'u'llah's family, Shoghi Effendi, as far back as 1939, wrote these highly illuminating words:\nFor it must be clearly understood, nor can it be sufficiently\nemphasized, that the conjunction of the resting-place of the\nGreatest Holy Leaf with those of her brother and mother\nincalculably reinforces the spiritual potencies of that\nconsecrated Spot which, under the wings of the Bab's\novershadowing Sepulchre, and in the vicinity of the future\nMashriqu'l-Adhkar,[1] which will be reared on its flank, is\ndestined to evolve into the focal centre of those world-shaking,\nworld-embracing, world-directing administrative\ninstitutions, ordained by Baha'u'llah and anticipated by\n'Abdu'l-Baha, and which are to function in consonance with <p215>\nthe principles that govern the twin institutions of the\nGuardianship and the Universal House of Justice. Then,\nand then only, will this momentous prophecy which\nilluminates the concluding passages of the Tablet of\nCarmel[2] be fulfilled: 'Ere long will God sail His Ark upon\nthee (Carmel), and will manifest the people of Baha who\nhave been mentioned in the Book of Names.'\n[1 Literally 'the dawning-place of the mention of God', a Baha'i House of Worship. See below, pp. 345-8. (A.T.)]\n[2 The Tablet of Carmel revealed by Baha'u'llah may be considered as the\nCharter for building the World Centre of the Faith. We shall refer to this\nTablet in the next volume. (A.T.)]\nTo attempt to visualize, even in its barest outline, the\nglory that must envelop these institutions, to essay even a\ntentative and partial description of their character or the\nmanner of their operation, or to trace however inadequately\nthe course of events leading to their rise and eventual\nestablishment is far beyond my own capacity and power.\nSuffice it to say that at this troubled stage in world history\nthe association of these three incomparably precious souls\nwho, next to the three Central Figures of our Faith, tower in\nrank above the vast multitude of the heroes, Letters,\nmartyrs, hands, teachers and administrators of the Cause of\nBaha'u'llah, in such a potentially powerful spiritual and\nadministrative Centre, is in itself an event which will release\nforces that are bound to hasten the emergence in a land\nwhich, geographically, spiritually and administratively,\nconstitutes the heart of the entire planet, of some of the\nbrightest gems of that World Order now shaping in the\nwomb of this travailing age.(9)\nThe Pen of the Most High did not stop revealing the words of God because of that mournful event, the death of the Purest Branch. The Manifestation of God is never preoccupied with one matter at a time and nothing of this world can thwart Him from His all-encompassing vision. He is not limited, as human beings are, in His dealings with things. We have already discussed this aspect of the Manifestation of God in previous volumes.[1] On the same day when the spirit of the Purest <p216> Branch ascended to the Realms above, Baha'u'llah revealed a Tablet in honour of one of the believers in Qazvin. In it He pays glowing tribute to His son and bestows upon him His benedictions. This is part of the Tablet:\n[1 See vol. 1, pp. 262-3; vol. 2, pp. 416-17.]\nAt this very moment My son is being washed before My\nface, after Our having sacrificed him in the Most Great\nPrison. Thereat have the dwellers of the Abha Tabernacle\nwept with a great weeping, and such as have suffered\nimprisonment with this Youth in the path of God, the Lord\nof the promised Day, lamented. Under such conditions My\nPen hath not been prevented from remembering its Lord,\nthe Lord of all nations. It summoneth the people unto God,\nthe Almighty, the All-Bountiful. This is the day whereon\nhe that was created by the light of Baha has suffered martyrdom,\nat a time when he lay imprisoned at the hands of his\nUpon thee, O Branch of God! be the remembrance of\nGod and His praise, and the praise of all that dwell in the\nRealm of Immortality, and of all the denizens of the\nKingdom of Names. Happy art thou in that thou hast been\nfaithful to the Covenant of God and His Testament, until\nThou didst sacrifice thyself before the face of thy Lord, the\nAlmighty, the Unconstrained. Thou, in truth, hast been\nwronged, and to this testifieth the Beauty of Him, the Self-Subsisting.\nThou didst, in the first days of thy life, bear that\nwhich hath caused all things to groan; and made every pillar\nto tremble. Happy is the one that remembereth thee, and\ndraweth nigh, through thee, unto God, the Creator of the\nMorn.(10)\nLawh-i-Pisar-'Amm (Tablet to the Cousin)\nThis Tablet was revealed in the barracks of 'Akka in honour of Mirza Hasan-i-Mazindarani, a cousin of Baha'u'llah. We have already stated that Mirza Hasan managed to enter the barracks and remained there for some time. He was present when the Purest Branch passed away and assisted Shaykh Mahmud in <p217> washing his body. This Tablet was revealed when Baha'u'llah directed Mirza Hasan to return home. This kinsman of Baha'u'llah was very dear to Him. It was Baha'u'llah Himself who, in the early days of the ministry of the Bab, had converted his father Mulla Zaynu'l-'Abidin (a paternal uncle of Baha'u'llah) to the Faith. His son Mirza Hasan was devoted to the Cause and had dedicated himself to the service of its Author.\nIn the opening passages of this Tablet, Baha'u'llah urges Mirza Hasan to offer thanks to God for having enabled him to enter the presence of His Lord, being the first among Baha'u'llah's relatives to do so in the Holy Land. Also, to treasure His gracious favours through which the ties of kinship were not severed. He affirms that the bounty of retaining this family tie was so precious that nothing in this world could equal it.\nAs already stated in previous volumes,[1] a number of Baha'u'llah's relatives including uncles and cousins, as well as brothers and sisters, fully recognized the station of Baha'u'llah and became his devoted followers. In His sight they were distinguished from the rest, for they had strengthened their physical relationship with spiritual ties of faith. Since the primary mission of the Manifestation of God is to confer spiritual life upon the souls, those who become deprived of this are therefore reckoned as dead in His estimation. In the Writings of Baha'u'llah and in the Holy Books of other religions, the word 'dead' is often used to refer to those devoid of faith and spiritual life. In the light of this, it becomes clear that those among Baha'u'llah's relatives who were not illumined with the light of faith had, indeed, severed their relationship with Him.\n[1 See vol. 1, pp. 8, 12-16, 49-51, 122-3; vol. 2, p. 205n.]\nIn this Tablet Baha'u'llah exhorts Mirza Hasan to make mention of his Lord and to conduct himself in such wise that people might inhale from him the fragrances of the Beloved, and witness the purity and excellence of his deeds, deeds which <p218> were praiseworthy in the sight of God. He counsels him to detach himself from the world and its transitory vanities. Instead he should endeavour to adorn himself with the glory of His Name which is imperishable and everlasting.\nThe rest of the Tablet consists of exhortations to other people. First, there is a long message which appears to be addressed to Baha'u'llah's half-brother Mirza Rida-Quli. He does not mention his name in this Tablet, but from the tone and contents of Baha'u'llah's words, one may deduce that it is probably for him. In a previous volume[1] we have referred to this brother briefly. Although his wife Maryam,[2] a cousin of Baha'u'llah, was a devoted believer, Mirza Rida-Quli himself was not touched sufficiently by the light of the Faith to enter into the fold. He remained distant from Baha'u'llah and there is a suggestion in this Tablet that at one stage he had requested Baha'u'llah not to write to him. It must be noted that from time to time Baha'u'llah had maintained communication with this brother and urged him to open his inner eyes so that he might behold his Lord and embrace His Faith. In this Tablet Baha'u'llah expresses His grief and deep sorrow for a brother who remained aloof from the Cause of God, and with loving-kindness exhorts him to arise and make amends.\nMirza Rida-Quli was held in high esteem in Tihran. The following account by Haji Mirza Haydar-'Ali throws some light on his attitude towards Baha'u'llah. The story relates to Mirza Husayn-Khan-i-Mushiru'd-Dawlih[1] who was the Persian Ambassador in Turkey for ten years. He was recalled to Tihran and in 1871 was made Prime Minister:\n[1 See vol. 2, passim.]\nAnd when he [the Mushiru'd-Dawlih] went to Tihran, the\nMinisters, leaders and dignitaries came to visit him. Among\nthem was the late Haji Mirza Rida-Quli, a half-brother of\nthe Ancient Beauty. He was introduced as a brother of <p219>\nBaha'u'llah. Due to embarrassment and fear he said, 'I have\na father, why can't you introduce me through him?' On\nhearing this the Mushiru'd-Dawlih exclaimed in a rebuking\ntone: 'You ought to pride yourself on and glory in being a\nbrother of Baha'u'llah. It is a very great honour and a source\nof pride for Persia and the people of Persia that Baha'u'llah\nis a native of this country. Every Prince, minister or ruler\nwho went from Persia to Istanbul at any time, became, in\nvarious ways, the cause of disgrace and humiliation for the\ngovernment and the people of Persia... Although exiled by\nthe government, Baha'u'llah conducted Himself with such\nfirmness and dignity and manifested such an ascendancy\nand glory that He truly revived Persia and her peoples...(11)\nThat such a glowing tribute should be paid by Mirza Husayn-Khan, the Mushiru'd-Dawlih,[1] who in earlier years as Persian Ambassador in Turkey had assiduously worked against Baha'u'llah, but who later changed his attitude, is a proof that nothing can be as effective as pure and holy deeds in convincing people of the truth of the Cause of God. We find in the Writings of Baha'u'llah numerous exhortations concerning this. In the Ishraqat (Splendours) Baha'u'llah states:\n[1 For further information about him and the change that took place in his attitude towards Baha'u'llah see vol. 2, pp. 399-401.]\nIn this Revelation the hosts that can render it victorious are\nthe hosts of praiseworthy deeds and upright character.(12)\nIn another Tablet He declares:\nMan is like unto a tree. If he be adorned with fruit, he hath\nbeen and will ever be worthy of praise and commendation\nOtherwise a fruitless tree is but fit for fire. The fruits of the\nhuman tree are exquisite, highly desired and dearly\ncherished. Among them are upright character, virtuous\ndeeds and a goodly utterance. The springtime for earthly\ntrees occurreth once every year, while the one for human\ntrees appeareth in the Days of God--exalted be His glory. <p220>\nWere the trees of men's lives to be adorned in this divine\nSpringtime with the fruits that have been mentioned, the\neffulgence of the light of Justice, would, of a certainty,\nillumine all the dwellers of the earth and everyone would\nabide in tranquillity and contentment beneath the sheltering\nshadow of Him Who is the Object of all mankind.(13)\nAnd in the Lawh-i-Dunya (Tablet of the World) Baha'u'llah declares:\nThis Wronged One hath forbidden the people of God to\nengage in contention or conflict and hath exhorted them to\nrighteous deeds and praiseworthy character. In this day the\nhosts that can ensure the victory of the Cause are those of\ngoodly conduct and saintly character. Blessed are they who\nfirmly adhere unto them and woe betide such as turn away\ntherefrom.(14) <p221>\nThe Wronged One of the World\nThe Prison Gates Open\nAbout four months had passed since the death of the Purest Branch when, as he had wished on his death-bed, the gates of the prison of 'Akka were opened. Baha'u'llah, His family and companions left the barracks after being confined there for a period of two years, two months and five days. This transfer, which took place in the autumn of 1870, became necessary as the barracks were needed to accommodate Turkish troops. Baha'u'llah and His family were confined in a house while some of His companions took residence in other houses and the rest were consigned to the caravanserai, named the Khan-i-'Avamid.\nBaha'u'llah resided in a number of houses, staying a few months in each. First He moved to the house of Malik, and later the nearby house of Mansur Khavvam was added to it. From there He moved to the house of Rabi'ih. Eventually His residence was transferred to the house of 'Udi Khammar. This house was attached to the house of 'Abbud; the partition between the two houses was later removed, and the two houses became one, the whole becoming known as the house of 'Abbud. The eastern section was the house of Khammar and the western, facing the sea, was that of 'Abbud. 'Udi Khammar was a Christian, so was 'Abbud, and they were close relatives. The house of 'Udi Khammar was very inadequate for the needs of Baha'u'llah and His household. Baha'u'llah occupied the small upstairs room in the eastern side of the house. The other room upstairs was overcrowded--at one time thirteen people <p222> of both sexes had to sleep in that room in rows. It is a well-known story that one night the person who used to sleep on a shelf in that room fell down on the top of others while asleep!\nAs for the Khan-i-'Avamid (Inn of the Pillars), it was a caravanserai unfit for a dwelling-place. Most of the companions of Baha'u'llah were consigned to this place, occupying rooms on the upper floor mostly in the western and southern wings of the building. 'Abdu'l-Baha occupied one room Himself and for some time this was the room in which He entertained guests. The pilgrims arriving from Persia were first received by 'Abdu'l-Baha in this room. He saw to it that they were ready to attain the presence of Baha'u'llah. Not only did the pilgrims learn from Him, through His courtesy and utter selflessness, lessons of humility before Baha'u'llah, but also they were helped to improve their outward appearance-- for example by putting on new clothes when they were to attain His presence.\nThe rooms in the Khan-i-'Avamid were damp and filthy. 'Abdu'l-Baha sold a certain gift which had been given to Him in Baghdad and with the proceeds began to repair the rooms for the companions of Baha'u'llah. He left the repair of His own room to the last. The money ran out and as a result His room remained unrepaired and in very bad condition. Not only were its walls damp but the roof leaked and the floor was covered with dust. He sat and slept on a mat in that room. His bed cover was a sheepskin. The room was infested with fleas and when He slept under the sheepskin, fleas gathered and began biting. 'Abdu'l-Baha had worked out a tactic of defeating the fleas by turning over his sheepskin at intervals. He would sleep for a while before the fleas found their way again to the inner side. He would then turn the sheepskin over again. Every night He had to resort to this tactic eight to ten times.\nThese companions of Baha'u'llah had to live in an austerity similar to that when they were in the barracks. Food was scarce and rations far from adequate for each person. Yet they spent <p223> their time in the utmost joy. Their greatest longing was to be called to the presence of their Lord. Their attachment to Baha'u'llah was the source of their strength. It enabled them to live in the utmost happiness in spite of all the hardships which were heaped upon them in those gloomy surroundings. As time went on, however, the situation changed, the companions of Baha'u'llah were able to find other accommodation in town and managed to engage in some humble professions. The Khan-i-'Avamid then became the first Baha'i Pilgrim House in the Holy Land. Some individuals remained there and had the task of serving the pilgrims, who stayed for months--and some for years. Notable among those who lived there for a long time were Zaynu'l-Muqarribin and Mishkin-Qalam to whom reference has been made in volume I.\nLawh-i-Ru'ya (Tablet of Vision)\nThe Lawh-i-Ru'ya in Arabic, similar in style to the Lawh-i-Huriyyih,[1] was revealed in 1873 in the house of 'Udi Khammar on the eve of the anniversary of the birth of the Bab which in that year fell on 1 March.[2] Baha'u'llah revealed this Tablet for one of the believers in order to show him a glimpse of the world of the spirit in this dark world, stating that if it were His will, He could make manifest from an atom the lights of the sun, and from a drop the waves of an ocean. This Tablet, remarkable for its allusive language, portrays a spiritual vision beautiful in its concept and descriptive in its style of imagery. Its perusal uplifts the heart and fascinates the mind.\n[2 The birth of the Bab and Baha'u'llah are celebrated in the East according to the lunar calendar.]\nBaha'u'llah portrays His vision of the appearance of the Maid of Heaven before Him, a vision which is beyond the comprehension of mortals and cannot be understood in its reality. The 'Maiden' has sometimes been described symbolically as the personification of the 'Most Great Spirit', <p224> which descended upon Baha'u'llah. The descent of the Holy Spirit in other Dispensations upon the Manifestations of God has been described figuratively in the form of the Burning Bush, the Sacred Fire, the Dove or the Angel Gabriel.\nIn the Lawh-i-Ru'ya Baha'u'llah describes His vision of a Maiden dressed in white and illumined with the light of God. She entered the room in which Baha'u'llah was seated upon His throne of Lordship. She displayed an indescribable enthusiasm and devotion, circled around Him, was enraptured by the inebriation of His Presence, was thunderstruck at His Glory. And when she recovered, she remained in a state of bewilderment. She longed to offer up her life for her Beloved and finding Him captive in the hands of the unfaithful, she bade Him leave 'Akka to its inhabitants and repair to His other dominions 'whereon the eyes of the people of names have never fallen', words which found their fulfilment nineteen years later with the ascension of Baha'u'llah. In the absence of a translation it is not possible to convey the beauty of the verses and the mystery of the subject revealed in the Lawh-i-Ru'ya. The theme of this Tablet is as enchanting as it is unfathomable and mysterious.\nSoon after Baha'u'llah moved to the house of 'Udi Khammar, a serious crisis which had been growing within the community suddenly erupted into a major catastrophe which engulfed Baha'u'llah, 'Abdu'l-Baha and other companions. This was the murder by seven believers of Siyyid Muhammad-i-Isfahani,[1] Aqa Jan-i-Kaj-Kulah[2] and Mirza Rida-Quliy-i-Tafrishi, all of whom claimed to be followers of Mirza Yahya. This heinous act, contrary to all the principles and to the spirit of the teachings of Baha'u'llah, brought the greatest sorrow to His heart and tarnished the good name of the Faith for a considerable time.\n[1 See p. 56; also vols. 1 and 2. ]\n[2 See p. 56; also vol. 2, pp. 326, 402.]\nIt will be remembered that soon after their arrival in the <p225> barracks, Siyyid Muhammad and Aqa Jan had been transferred to quarters overlooking the city gate where they could spy on all Baha'is trying to enter 'Akka. In this way many of the pilgrims had been expelled from the city. Siyyid Muhammad had adopted the name 'Quddus Effendi' (Holy One) and Aqa Jan began to use the name 'Sayfu'l-Haqq' (The Sword of Truth), a title bestowed on him by Mirza Yahya. They then began to do everything in their power to misrepresent Baha'u'llah. One of their comrades was the above-named Mirza Rida-Quli who had been used to associate freely with the companions of Baha'u'llah. But he lived a life contrary to the teachings of the Faith, and committed some shameful deeds in the company of some Christians in the city. Through his reprehensible conduct, he brought public disgrace upon the Faith and Baha'u'llah finally expelled him from the community.\nHaving been disgracefully dismissed, Mirza Rida-Quli and his sister Badri Jan,[*] an estranged wife of Mirza Yahya, joined hands with Siyyid Muhammad and Aqa Jan in a campaign of calumnies against Baha'u'llah designed to discredit Him in the eyes of the people, who had been beginning to unbend towards the company of exiles. The effect of this campaign of lies and misrepresentations was that the mind of the public was poisoned against Baha'u'llah and His faithful companions. The fire of sedition and strife which these four ignited in the hearts of the people of 'Akka began to engulf the community of the Most Great Name. People began to show open enmity and malice towards the believers. It was at this time that Baha'u'llah decided to close the door of His house to the faces of friends and foes alike. He did not allow anyone to attain His presence. 'Abdu'l-Baha also left the Khan-i-'Avamid and stayed close to His Father in the house of 'Udi Khammar. The seclusion of Baha'u'llah in His house, reminiscent of the time <p226> when He had retired to the house of Rida Big in Adrianople, isolated Him from everyone, and brought grief to the hearts of His companions.\n[1 She had left Mirza Yahya in the Adrianople days and taken refuge in the house of Aqay-i-Kalim; the faithful brother of Baha'u'llah. She and her brother had journeyed with the companions to 'Akka.]\nLawh-i-Qad Ihtaraqa'l-Mukhlisun (The Fire Tablet)\nTowards the end of 1871 Baha'u'llah received a letter from one of His devoted followers in Persia, Haji Siyyid 'Ali-Akbar-i-Dahaji, a nephew of Siyyid Mihdi, the Ismu'llah.[1] In answer to his letter, Baha'u'llah revealed the Lawh-i-Qad Ihtaraqa'l-Mukhlisun, or the Lawh-i-ihtiraq, translated into English and known in the west as the Fire Tablet. In the previous volume reference has been made to Haji Siyyid 'Ali-Akbar, the recipient of this Tablet, and a brief account of his life and services to the Cause is given there.[2] He was so much loved by Baha'u'llah that when he passed away Baha'u'llah gave his uncle the name 'Ali-Akbar, in memory of that devoted believer.\n[1 See vol. 2, pp. 118-19, 272-4, 290.]\nThe Lawh-i-Qad Ihtaraqa'l-Mukhlisun is one of Baha'u'llah's most celebrated Tablets; it is possessed of great powers, and the believers often recite it at times of difficulties and suffering. Of this Tablet Baha'u'llah states: 'Should all the servants read and ponder this, there shall be kindled in their veins a fire that shall set aflame the worlds.'(1) The Fire Tablet is in Arabic rhyming verse; it moves the heart when chanted in the original language. It was revealed at a time when great afflictions and sorrows had surrounded Baha'u'llah as a result of the hostility, betrayal and acts of infamy perpetrated by those few individuals who had once claimed to be the helpers of the Cause of God. Baha'u'llah pours out His heart in this Tablet and expatiates on His afflictions. For nothing brings more sorrow to the heart of the Manifestation of God than unfaithfulness and treachery from within the community. Imprisonment and all manner of persecution by the outside <p227> enemy can do no harm to the Cause. What harms it are the actions of those who bear His name and yet commit deeds contrary to His good-pleasure. These few breakers of the Covenant of the Bab, who followed Mirza Yahya and rose up against Baha'u'llah from within, created such havoc in the community and among the inhabitants of 'Akka that the Pen of Baha'u'llah lamented in this Tablet in a manner unprecedented in all His Writings.\nWhen this Tablet was revealed the followers of Baha'u'llah became aware of the immensity of His sufferings at the hands of the wicked and ungodly. He addresses Haji Siyyid 'Ali-Akbar, its recipient, in these words: 'O 'Ali-Akbar, thank thy Lord for this Tablet whence thou canst breathe the fragrance of My meekness, and know what hath beset Us in the path of God, the Adored of all the worlds.'(2)\nIn a passage (untranslated) addressed to the aforementioned Siyyid Mihdiy-i-Dahaji, Baha'u'llah states that He revealed the Fire Tablet for the Siyyid's nephew so that it might create in him feelings of joy as well as igniting in his heart the fire of the love of God.\nIn order that the mind of man, limited and finite as it is, may be able to reflect and meditate on the sufferings heaped upon the Manifestation, and at the same time see a glimpse of His All-Glorious Being, Baha'u'llah has revealed this Tablet in a special way. It seems as if it is His human Person, as distinct from the Manifestation of God, that recounts His afflictions and dwells on the iniquities perpetrated by His enemies. Then comes the voice of God and Baha'u'llah's response to it. But in reality, Baha'u'llah, the Supreme Manifestation of God, cannot be divided into two. His human nature and divine spirit are so mingled together that at no time can He be regarded as a man devoid of the Most Great Spirit which always animated Him. It cannot be assumed that at times a Manifestation of God ceases to be a Manifestation and becomes purely a man. On the contrary, He is always a Manifestation of God, <p228> although He often hides His glory[1] and appears to be like an ordinary human being. To appreciate this indivisibility, let us consider man with his two natures. We observe that whereas man combines within himself the animal and the spiritual natures, yet he is always a man and at no time can he be considered to be a pure animal devoid of the human spirit or temporarily become robbed of his powers as a man. Similarly, the Manifestation of God can never be divided into separate parts.\n[1 See p. 2.]\nProbably the basic reason that Baha'u'llah in the Fire Tablet has spoken with the voice of man is to enable the believers to appreciate how grievous were the attacks launched against Him, and how much His companions suffered when they were unable to attain His presence. In the opening passages, Baha'u'llah refers to this separation between Him and His loved ones and invokes the Almighty to succour and comfort them.\nIndeed the hearts of the sincere are consumed in the fire of separation:\nWhere is the gleaming of the light of Thy Countenance,\nO Beloved of the worlds?\nThose who are near unto Thee have been abandoned in the\ndarkness of desolation:\nWhere is the shining of the morn of Thy reunion, O\nDesire of the worlds?\nThe bodies of Thy chosen ones lie quivering on distant\nWhere is the ocean of Thy presence, O Enchanter of the\nIn other passages Baha'u'llah alludes to His withdrawal from everyone, such as when he refers to Himself being 'veiled by evil suggestions', or when He states that the 'sea of grace is stilled', and 'the door leading to the Divine Presence is locked'.\nIn this Tablet one comes across statements clearly referring to the evil doings of Siyyid Muhammad and his henchmen. He <p229> refers to them as the 'infidels' who 'have arisen in tyranny', describes their activities as the 'barking of dogs', the 'whisperings of Satan', states that through their deeds 'the lamps of truth and purity, of loyalty and honour, have been put out', and affirms that through their evil spirit 'the leaves are yellowed by the poisoning winds of sedition'.\nBaha'u'llah expatiates on His sufferings in this Tablet. He makes mention of 'abasement' and 'sorrows' which have afflicted Him, states that His 'Face is hidden in the dust of slander' and that His 'robe of sanctity is sullied by the people of deceit'. These heart-rending passages are clear references to the effects of the vast campaign of misrepresentation and slander carried out by Siyyid Muhammad against Baha'u'llah in public, and bear ample testimony to the harrowing afflictions which had been heaped upon Him.\nHaving dwelt on His sufferings, Baha'u'llah then, as the 'Tongue of Grandeur', replies to Himself. These are among His utterances:\nWe have made abasement the garment of glory,\nAnd affliction the adornment of Thy temple, O Pride of\nThou seest the hearts are filled with hate,\nAnd to overlook is Thine, O Thou Concealer of the sins\nof the worlds.\nWhen the swords flash, go forward!\nWhen the shafts fly, press onward! O Thou Sacrifice of\nIn this Tablet Baha'u'llah invokes the wrath of God for His enemies, when He asks, 'Where is the lion of the forest of Thy might?' 'Where is the meteor of Thy fire?' or 'Where are the signs of Thy avenging wrath?' God is loving and forgiving, but occasionally He appears in His wrath. One of these occasions is when some individual opposes His Manifestation while knowing who He is and the station He occupies. Whereas the Manifestation of God can invoke the wrath of God upon such <p230> people, man has no right to do so. In this Dispensation Baha'u'llah has forbidden His followers to condemn other men.\nIn one of His Tablets[3] revealed in 'Akka, Baha'u'llah refers to this subject. He quotes the following passage from the Fire Tablet: 'The necks of men are stretched out in malice; Where are the swords of Thy vengeance...', and states that although outwardly these words seem to contradict the teaching of God for this age and invoke His wrath and vengeance, they are not meant to advocate contention and strife. Rather, such statements were made in order to convey the enormity of the sufferings caused by a few wicked people. Their transgressions reached such proportions that the Pen of the Most High was made to lament in the way it did.\nHaving clarified the reasons for invoking the wrath of God, Baha'u'llah in this Tablet warns the believers against using such terms as a pretext for creating strife and sedition. He exhorts them to unity, love and compassion toward all the peoples of the world, states that the hosts which can render the Cause of God victorious are praiseworthy deeds and an upright character and asserts that the commander of these hosts is the fear of God.[1]\nAs we survey the Writings of Baha'u'llah and those of the other Central Figures of the Faith, we observe that the greatest portion of these consists of exhortations and commandments on living a life based on the spiritual teachings of God. In most of His Tablets, Baha'u'llah exhorts His followers to goodly character, pure deeds, and praiseworthy conduct. He calls on them to foster the spirit of fellowship and unity among the peoples of the world and become the embodiments of loving kindness to all who dwell on earth.\nExhorting Badi'u'llah, one of His sons, to live the life of servitude, Baha'u'llah has revealed the following passage. His counsels in this Tablet may be said to epitomize His teachings on the question of individual conduct in this life. <p231>\nBe generous in prosperity, and thankful in adversity. Be\nworthy of the trust of thy neighbour, and look upon him\nwith a bright and friendly face. Be a treasure to the poor, an\nadmonisher to the rich, an answerer of the cry of the needy,\na preserver of the sanctity of thy pledge. Be fair in thy\njudgment, and guarded in thy speech. Be unjust to no man,\nand show all meekness to all men. Be as a lamp unto them\nthat walk in darkness, a joy to the sorrowful, a sea for the\nthirsty, a haven for the distressed, an upholder and defender\nof the victim of oppression. Let integrity and uprightness\ndistinguish all thine acts. Be a home for the stranger, a balm\nto the suffering, a tower of strength for the fugitive. Be eyes\nto the blind, and a guiding light unto the feet of the erring.\nBe an ornament to the countenance of truth, a crown to the\nbrow of fidelity, a pillar of the temple of righteousness, a\nbreath of life to the body of mankind, an ensign of the hosts\nof justice, a luminary above the horizon of virtue, a dew to\nthe soil of the human heart, an ark on the ocean of\nknowledge, a sun in the heaven of bounty, a gem on the\ndiadem of wisdom, a shining light in the firmament of thy\ngeneration, a fruit upon the tree of humility.(4)\nSubmission of the Manifestation of God to Trials\nIn the Fire Tablet we observe two different features of Baha'u'llah. The first is the station of sovereignty and lordship, a station exalted above the world of man. In this station He is not affected by the tumult and conflicts of this life, because He is animated by the Most Great Spirit which makes Him independent of all things except God. The other station is that of meekness and submission to God. This is a station in which Baha'u'llah is referred to in many of His Tablets as the 'Wronged One of the World'. In this station He submits Himself to His enemies, welcomes sufferings and accepts bondage and imprisonment so that mankind in this Dispensation may become freed from the fetters of tyranny and oppression and attain the light of unity. <p232>\nIn the Lawh-i-Sultan (Tablet to Nasiri'd-Din Shah)\nBaha'u'llah makes these thought-provoking remarks:\nBy God, Though weariness lay Me low, and hunger\nconsume me and the bare rock be My bed, and My fellows\nthe beasts of the field, I will not complain, but will endure\npatiently as those endued with constancy and firmness have\nendured patiently, through the power of God, the eternal\nKing and Creator of the nations, and will render thanks\nunto God under all conditions. We pray that, out of His\nbounty--exalted be He--He may release, through this\nimprisonment, the necks of men from chains and fetters,\nand cause them to turn, with sincere faces, towards His\nFace, Who is the Mighty, the Bounteous.(5)\nIn another Tablet, Baha'u'llah makes it clear that He has accepted suffering for the sake of the redemption of human kind. These are His exalted words:\nThe whole earth is now in a state of pregnancy. The day is\napproaching when it will have yielded its noblest fruits,\nwhen from it will have sprung forth the loftiest trees, the\nmost enchanting blossoms, the most heavenly blessings.\nImmeasurably exalted is the breeze that wafteth from the\ngarment of thy Lord, the Glorified! For lo, it hath breathed\nits fragrance and made all things new! Well it is with them\nthat comprehend. It is indubitably clear and evident that in\nthese things He Who is the Lord of Revelation hath sought\nnothing for Himself. Though aware that they would lead to\ntribulations, and be the cause of troubles and afflictive trials,\nHe, solely as a token of His loving-kindness and favour, and\nfor the purpose of quickening the dead and of redeeming all\nwho are on earth, hath closed His eyes to His own well-being\nand borne that which no other person hath borne or\nwill bear.(6)\nHere and in many other Tablets Baha'u'llah has stated that no one on earth has been, or will be, subjected to so much suffering as He. It may be difficult for those who are not fully <p233> familiar with the Faith of Baha'u'llah to accept such a statement. They may argue that there have been many people who were afflicted with unbearable tortures and life-long sufferings. In order to appreciate the words of Baha'u'llah let us suppose that there was a community somewhere in the world whose people were savage, barbarous and brutally cruel. Those born and brought up within such a community, who had lived there all their lives and had never been in touch with civilization would find life to be normal. Although to the outsider the standard would seem to be very cruel, yet for the members of that community every event that took place in their midst would be a natural happening and accepted as such. As in every other community, there must be moments of joy and comfort as well as sadness and suffering for the people who belonged to this society. However, should a noble person who had lived in a highly civilized society be forced to join this uncivilized community, it is only natural that he would suffer much more than the rest. Because he had been used to a far superior standard in his life, it could be said of him that he had undergone such cruelties and hardships, both mental and physical, that no one else in that community had experienced.\nIt is the same with a Manifestation of God who is sent to live among men. There is a vast contrast between the world of man and the world of the Manifestation of God. The former is limited and full of imperfections while the latter is the realm of perfections far exalted above the comprehension of human beings. Coming from such a realm, possessing all the Divine virtues and embodying God's attributes, these exalted Beings descend into this world and become prisoners among human beings. Man's ignorance, his cruelty, his ungodliness, his selfishness, his insincerity and all his sins and shortcomings act as tools of torture inflicting painful wounds upon the soul of the Manifestation of God who has no alternative but to bear them in silence with resignation and submissiveness. One act of unfaithfulness--even a glance betraying the insincerity of the individual or an unworthy thought emanating from his <p234> mind--is as painful torture to Him. But He seldom reveals the shortcomings of men, or dwells on His own pain and suffering. Like a teacher who has to descend to the level of a child and act as if he does not know, the Manifestation of God comes as a man appearing to be the same as others.[1] He has the sin-covering eye to such an extent that some may think that He does not know.\n[1 See pp. 2-3.]\nThroughout the forty years of His ministry, Baha'u'llah\ntreated people in this way. He submitted Himself to His\nenemies and bore life-long hardships and persecutions with\nresignation; He always closed His eyes to the shortcomings of\nthe believers unless someone was harming the Faith or\nbringing disgrace upon it. He poured upon His followers\nloving encouragement for whatever service they rendered.\nEven in the case of proud and conceited followers such as\nJamal-i-Burujirdi or Siyyid Mihdiy-i-Dahaji[1] who were\nactively engaged in teaching the Faith, He always showered his\nbounties and favours upon them, at the same time counselling\nthem to rectitude of conduct and purity of motive. His sin-covering\neye was so all-encompassing that these and many\nother people believed that Baha'u'llah did not know what was\nhidden in their hearts!\n[1 These two men, who ranked foremost among teachers of the Faith were only cast out of the community when they became Covenant-breakers. For further details see vol. 2.]\nMurder of Three Azalis\nNow, when Baha'u'llah retired to the house of 'Udi Khammar and allowed no one to attain His presence, Siyyid Muhammad and his associates took advantage of this. On the one hand, they began to mix with some of the faithful followers of Baha'u'llah, and on the other, they intensified their campaign to misrepresent the Author of the Faith. Mirza Rida-Quli had some Tablets of Baha'u'llah in his possession. He and Siyyid <p235> Muhammad interpolated these Writings with passages designed to arouse the animosity of the populace, and distributed the falsified texts widely. Mirza Rida-Quli and his sister Badri Jan, who had been cast out of the community by, Baha'u'llah, publicly claimed that they had left the Baha'is voluntarily and were now Muslims. Siyyid Muhammad and Aqa Jan did likewise.\nNot long after the revelation of the Fire Tablet Baha'u'llah revealed another significant Tablet(7) in which He clearly prophesied the appearance of a great affliction. He described it as the ocean of tribulation surging and its billowing waves surrounding the Ark of the Cause of God. It took only one day for Baha'u'llah's prophecies to be fulfilled. For in the afternoon troops surrounded His house, summoned Him to the office of the Governor (Mutasarrif) and kept Him in custody there. The reason was that Siyyid Muhammad, Aqa Jan and Rida-Quli had been slain by seven of Baha'u'llah's followers. This frightful act, so contrary to Baha'u'llah's admonitions, unleashed the anger and hatred of the inhabitants of 'Akka against the community and its leader.\nIt was Badri Jan, the sister of the murdered Mirza Rida-Quli, who went to Government House and shamelessly accused Baha'u'llah of ordering the death of these men. This she did in spite of the fact that she knew well that Baha'u'llah always exhorted His followers to avoid any act which might inflict the slightest hurt upon a fellow human being, how much more such an odious act. She knew that Baha'u'llah had expressly forbidden those of his followers who had asked permission to deal with the offenders themselves, from taking any action in the matter. She also knew that He Himself had cut off His association with the believers.\nIndeed, Siyyid Muhammad himself had written several letters to the friends in Persia telling them that Baha'u'llah had completely dissociated Himself from all His companions.\nThe seven believers who, against the advice of Baha'u'llah and without His knowledge, perpetrated such a ghastly crime, <p236> knew well that their action would invoke the wrath of Baha'u'llah. They knew that He who had expelled Mirza Rida-Quli from the community merely on the grounds of misbehaviour in public, would disown them and drive them out of His presence for ever, if they carried out their intention which was far more reprehensible than the misdeeds of Mirza Rida-Quli. Indeed, some of them had concluded that by committing such a crime and dishonouring the good name of the Faith, they would never be forgiven by God and their souls would be damned in all the worlds of God. But they could not bear to see Baha'u'llah and His loved ones being so mercilessly attacked with slanders and false accusations. They decided that they would rather sacrifice their spiritual existence by committing this reprehensible crime than allow their Lord to suffer in this way.\nBaha'u'llah Himself has described the details of His imprisonment in a Tablet revealed in the words of Mirza Aqa Jan, His amanuensis. Shoghi Effendi, writing about this tragic episode, has based part of his narrative on this Tablet. These are his words:\nTheir[1] strict confinement had hardly been mitigated, and\nthe guards who had kept watch over them been dismissed,\nwhen an internal crisis, which had been brewing in the\nmidst of the community, was brought to a sudden and\ncatastrophic climax. Such had been the conduct of two of\nthe exiles,[2] who had been included in the party that accompanied\nBaha'u'llah to 'Akka, that He was eventually\nforced to expel them, an act of which Siyyid Muhammad did\nnot hesitate to take the fullest advantage. Reinforced by\nthese recruits, he, together with his old associates, acting as\nspies, embarked on a campaign of abuse, calumny and\nIntrigue, even more pernicious than that which had been\nlaunched by him in Constantinople, calculated to arouse an\nalready prejudiced and suspicious populace to a new pitch\nof animosity and excitement. A fresh danger now clearly\nthreatened the life of Baha'u'llah. Though He Himself had\nstringently forbidden His followers, on several occasions,\nboth verbally and in writing, any retaliatory acts against\ntheir tormentors, and had even sent back to Beirut an\nirresponsible Arab convert, who had meditated avenging\nthe wrongs suffered by his beloved Leader, seven of the\ncompanions clandestinely sought out and slew three of their\npersecutors, among whom were Siyyid Muhammad and\nAqa Jan.\n[1 Baha'u'llah and His fellow-exiles. (A.T.)]\n[2 Mirza Rida-Quli and his sister Badri Jan. (A.T.)]\nas a school.\ncustody for one night during the interrogation. <p237>\nThe consternation that seized an already oppressed community was indescribable. Baha'u'llah's indignation knew no bounds. 'Were We,' He thus voices His emotions, in a Tablet revealed shortly after this act had been committed, 'to make mention of what befell Us, the heavens would be rent asunder and the mountains would crumble.' 'My captivity,' he wrote on another occasion, 'cannot harm Me. That which can harm Me is the conduct of those who love Me, who claim to be related to Me, and yet perpetrate what causeth my heart and My pen to groan.' And again: 'My captivity can bring on Me no shame. Nay, by My life, it conferreth on Me glory. That which can make Me ashamed is the conduct of such of My followers as profess to love Me, yet in fact follow the Evil One.'\nHe was dictating His Tablets to His amanuensis when the governor, at the head of his troops, with drawn swords, surrounded His house. The entire populace, as well as the military authorities, were in a state of great agitation. The shouts and clamour of the people could be heard on all sides. Baha'u'llah was peremptorily summoned to the Governorate, interrogated, kept in custody the first night, with one of His sons, in a chamber in the Khan-i-Shavirdi, transferred for the following two nights to better quarters in that neighbourhood, and allowed only after the lapse of seventy hours to regain His home. 'Abdu'l-Baha was thrown into prison and chained during the first night, after which He was permitted to join His Father. Twenty-five of the companions were cast into another prison and shackled, all of whom, except those responsible for that odious deed, <p238> whose imprisonment lasted several years, were, after six days, moved to the Khan-i-Shavirdi, and there placed, for six months, under confinement.\n'Is it proper,' the Commandant of the city, turning to Baha'u'llah, after He had arrived at the Governorate, boldly inquired, 'that some of your followers should act in such a manner?' 'If one of your soldiers,' was the swift rejoinder, 'were to commit a reprehensible act, would you be held responsible, and be punished in his place?' When interrogated, He was asked to state His name and that of the country from which He came. 'It is more manifest than the sun,' He answered. The same question was put to Him again, to which He gave the following reply: 'I deem it not proper to mention it. Refer to the farman of the government which is in your possession.' Once again they, with marked deference, reiterated their request, whereupon Baha'u'llah spoke with majesty and power these words. 'My name is Baha'u'llah (Light of God), and My country is Nur (Light). Be ye apprized of it.' Turning then, to the Mufti, he addressed him words of veiled rebuke, after which He spoke to the entire gathering, in such vehement and exalted language that none made bold to answer Him. Having quoted verses from the Suriy-i-Muluk, He, afterwards, arose and left the gathering. The Governor, soon after, sent word that He was at liberty to return to His home, and apologized for what had occurred.\nA population, already ill-disposed towards the exiles, was, after such an incident, fired with uncontrollable animosity for all those who bore the name of the Faith which those exiles professed. The charges of impiety, atheism, terrorism and heresy were openly and without restraint flung into their faces. 'Abbud, who lived next door to Baha'u'llah, reinforced the partition that separated his house from the dwelling of his now much-feared and suspected Neighbour. Even the children of the imprisoned exiles, whenever they ventured to show themselves in the streets during those days, would be pursued, vilified and pelted with stones.(8) <p239>\nThe perpetrators of the crime were sentenced to long imprisonment by the authorities. Others were kept in confinement for six months and were released as it gradually became apparent that they had not been involved. As time went on it became clear to everyone that Baha'u'llah Himself could never have had anything to do with such an odious act, let alone being the motivating force behind it.\nProblems of Historical Evaluation\nOne of the tragic aspects of the life of Baha'u'llah is that the majority of people who came into contact with the Faith failed utterly to appreciate Him and His claims. The above incident provides some examples of this. Of course, it is to be expected that those who were His avowed enemies should misrepresent Him. Similarly some non-Baha'i historians, orientalists and missionaries--those who were biased or prejudiced--gave false impressions of Him also. Yet even those who were unbiased or friendly could never succeed in making the right Judgment, because they did not know the true nature of Baha'u'llah's claims or His station.\nBaha'u'llah had strictly forbidden His followers to teach His Faith within the Ottoman Empire. This is why even some important personalities who were His well-wishers and admirers regarded Him as merely a religious leader or the head of a sect, One who was very great, whose majesty and authority overwhelmed them, but whose station they did not fully understand. For this reason we find that most non-Baha'i contemporary historians and writers have left to posterity accounts which are either totally false and full of prejudice, or which contain a great deal of misinformation.\nThere is no way by which a scholar, however unbiased and objective he is, can write a true version of the history of the life of Baha'u'llah, or submit an authentic appreciation of His mission, unless he be a believer in His Faith. Just as a layman can never evaluate the work of a scientist except in a superficial <p240> way--he has to be a scientist himself to understand the true significance of a scientific discovery--so he who writes the history of a religion has to relate historical events to the truth of God's Revelation which is enshrined in that religion. This is not possible for the sceptic. The art of writing any history lies not merely in describing events, but in relating them to each other and putting them into their proper context. And in religious history the Revelation itself is obviously central--it cannot be left out. The Founders of religions receive their teachings through divine revelation, an experience which man can never have. This makes it beyond scientific enquiry.\nThe only work of history that can portray, to a limited degree, the true image of Baha'u'llah and His Revelation is one written by a believer devoted to Him and well-versed in His writings--one who understands His claims and can interpret His actions and utterances in the light of His teachings. But even such a person can never hope to evaluate fully the events associated with the life of the Manifestation of God, for the simple reason that it is beyond man to fully understand Him. In the Kitab-i-Aqdas (The Most Holy Book) Baha'u'llah states:\nand kindreds of the earth possess must be weighed, while\nthe measure of its weight should be tested according to its\nown standard, did ye but know it.(9)\nSeveral disciples of Baha'u'llah have written their accounts of Him, and each one in accordance with his spiritual capacity has recorded some aspects of the history of the Faith. Nabil-i-A'zam has written a detailed narrative, a part of which is edited and published as The Dawn-Breakers. His narratives are considered by the Baha'is to be among the most authentic histories of the ministries of the Bab and Baha'u'llah. <p241>\nNo account of the history of the Faith would be complete without mentioning God Passes By by Shoghi Effendi, the Guardian of the Faith. This book deals with the historical events associated with the ministries of the Bab, Baha'u'llah and 'Abdu'l-Baha, as well as the birth and development of the Administrative Order. It is a masterpiece of history--concise yet filled with vivid detail of the most significant events of the first Baha'i century. Shoghi Effendi in his masterly style has condensed volumes of material within the compass of a few hundred pages. Almost every line of this book is laden with much information, superbly gleaned, without appearing to be, from numerous narratives and historical documents as well as profuse quotations from the vast reservoir of the writings of the Central Figures of the Faith.\nBeing the Guardian of the Faith, Shoghi Effendi was more qualified than anyone else to write such a book on Baha'i history. As the unerring interpreter of Baha'u'llah's Writings, he was, next to 'Abdu'l-Baha, endowed with a unique capacity to understand and appreciate the Revelation of Baha'u'llah to an extent that no other human being can ever hope to achieve. He elucidates every major event in the light of the Revelation of Baha'u'llah and injects into every subject a measure of the truth of the Faith. In the course of writing the accounts of the lives of the Central Figures of the Cause and their disciples, he explains the true motive behind their actions, calculates the effects of these actions, puts into the right perspective the heroism and self-sacrifice of the Babi and Baha'i martyrs, enumerates the victories and crises that the Faith has encountered, recounts the downfall of its enemies, demonstrates the unfoldment of its world-embracing institutions and foreshadows its future destiny.\nIn contrast to the writings of Shoghi Effendi, one who had truly understood the station of Baha'u'llah and was in a position to explain His actions, we come across the writings of those who had very little knowledge of the Faith and have left behind much erroneous information. How can a man who is <p242> either full of prejudice or, if unbiased, is blind to the reality of the Manifestation of God, write a correct account of His life and be able to interpret His words and actions? How could the unbelieving contemporaries of Jesus, including the Jews in His days, be expected to render a true appreciation of His life and teachings? They could not do this because they were veiled from His glory. The same is true in Baha'u'llah's day.\nOne example is the incident of the slaying of the three men in 'Akka. Many people, both high and low in the city, in the early stages considered Baha'u'llah as the instigator of this odious deed. But as time went on most of them realized their mistake and began to see the loftiness of His virtues and the purity of His deeds. Some Western writers heard biased stories and distorted versions of His interrogation, and wrote these down in their dispatches and memoirs. What these men did not realize was that those who heard Baha'u'llah speaking to the officials at the time of enquiry were not familiar with His claims, nor did they understand the terminology He used in His utterances.\nFor instance, while in the seat of honour and in the presence of officials and dignitaries of the city including the Mufti of 'Akka, Baha'u'llah recited, in a vibrant voice, some passages from the Suriy-i-Muluk (Surih of the Kings) and some other Tablets. Those who are familiar with these Writings know that unless one is well versed in Baha'u'llah's teachings and utterances, one will not be able to appreciate the significance of the various allusions He has made in these Tablets, allusions which were clear to the believers, but almost incomprehensible to others. The outcome of all this is gross misunderstanding by those non-Baha'i authors who have written an account of Baha'u'llah's interrogation.\nTo cite one example: Laurence Oliphant, a traveller of note in his book Haifa, or Life in the Holy Land, alleged that Baha'u'llah after being interrogated was set free as He had 'with an enormous bribe... purchased an exemption for all further attendance at Court'.(10) Had Oliphant been interested <p243> to learn a little more about Baha'u'llah, who had for almost thirty years submitted Himself unconditionally to His enemies, he could not have made such a gross misrepresentation. If Baha'u'llah had been interested in freeing Himself from imprisonment in the manner alleged, He could easily have freed Himself from the Siyah-Chal of Tihran, twenty years before, or from the sufferings of Adrianople or the barracks of 'Akka. If the writer of this account had been able to investigate, however summarily, the teachings of this Faith and the Divine perfections and virtues with which its Author was invested, he could have discerned that the story reported to him was a lie aimed at damaging the integrity of Baha'u'llah. Moreover, had he known about the life of austerity which Baha'u'llah and His family had lived and were living at the time, he would have written a different account altogether.\nIt is not the aim of this book to engage in refuting the misrepresentations of various non-Baha'i writers. However, in this case it is interesting to look further into Oliphant's report which contains other untrue allegations. For instance, it is alleged that when Baha'u'llah was asked by the interrogating officer about His profession, He replied, '... I am not a camel driver... nor am I the Son of a carpenter'-- allusions to the Prophet Muhammad and Jesus Christ respectively. Here again the person who had made this malicious statement to Oliphant intended to introduce Baha'u'llah as a proud man and a heretic who had no regard for other Prophets.\nThose who are familiar with Baha'u'llah and His teachings know that nothing could be further from the truth. In innumerable Tablets Baha'u'llah has paid glowing tributes to Muhammad and Christ. None of the followers of these two religions have ever written about their respective founders in a way which could match the sincerity, the power, the beauty, the profundity and eloquence of Baha'u'llah's utterances when He extols and glorifies the station of these two Manifestations <p244> of God and pays homage to them. To cite one example: in the course of a Tablet revealed in answer to some questions by a certain Christian Bishop residing in Constantinople, Baha'u'llah pays the following tribute to Jesus Christ.\nKnow thou that when the Son of Man yielded up His breath\nto God, the whole creation wept with a great weeping. By\nsacrificing Himself, however, a fresh capacity was infused\ninto all created things. Its evidences, as witnessed in all the\npeoples of the earth, are now manifest before thee. The\ndeepest wisdom which the sages have uttered, the\nprofoundest learning which any mind hath unfolded, the\narts which the ablest hands have produced, the influence\nexerted by the most potent of rulers, are but manifestations\nof the quickening power released by His transcendent, His\nall-pervasive, and resplendent Spirit.\nWe testify that when He came into the world, He shed the\nsplendour of His glory upon all created things. Through\nHim the leper recovered from the leprosy of perversity and\nignorance. Through Him, the unchaste and wayward were\nhealed. Through His power, born of Almighty God, the\neyes of the blind were opened, and the soul of the sinner\nLeprosy may be interpreted as any veil that interveneth\nbetween man and the recognition of the Lord, his God.\nWhoso alloweth himself to be shut out from Him is indeed a\nleper, who shall not be remembered in the Kingdom of\nGod, the Mighty, the All-Praised. We bear witness that\nthrough the power of the Word of God every leper was\ncleansed, every sickness was healed, every human infirmity\nwas banished. He it is Who purified the world. Blessed is the\nman who, with a face beaming with light, hath turned\ntowards Him.'(11)\nThere are also many Tablets in which Baha'u'llah has paid exalted tribute to the Prophet of Islam. Moreover, there are numerous laudatory passages in His writings concerning the Manifestations of God in general. The perusal of the Kitab-i-Iqan, for example, will enable the reader to observe the <p245> profoundly respectful language with which He refers to God's Chosen Ones on earth and extols their station. All these bear ample testimony to Baha'u'llah's noble vision of the Prophets of the past, and how He held them in high esteem and honour. Indeed, He would not tolerate it if anyone in His presence belittled their station or spoke of them in a discourteous manner.\nThe following story demonstrates this point. It concerns Mirza Taqi Khan-i-Amir Nizam, who for many years was Persia's Prime Minister during the reign of Nasiri'd-Din Shah. It was he who ordered the execution of the Bab, and committed great atrocities against the Babi community.\n'Abdu'l-Baha recounts(12) that one day Mirza Taqi Khan attended a gathering (presumably in Tihran) at which Baha'u'llah was present. He was referring to some verses of the Qur'an in a disrespectful manner and mockingly questioned the truth of the following verse:\nHe knoweth that which is on the dry land and in the sea;\nthere falleth no leaf, but he knoweth it; neither is there a\nsingle grain in the dark parts of the earth, neither a green\nthing, nor a dry thing, but it is written in the perspicuous\nbook [Qur'an].(13)\nBaha'u'llah's immediate response was to disapprove the attitude of Mirza Taqi Khan and to affirm that the above verse was undoubtedly true. When he asked for further explanation, Baha'u'llah told him that it meant that the Qur'an was the repository of the Word of God; it contained various subjects such as history, commentaries, prophecies and so on. Within its pages were enshrined verities of great significance and indeed one might discover that everything was mentioned in this Book.\n'Am I mentioned in it?' asked Mirza Taqi Khan arrogantly.\n'Yes, you are,' was Baha'u'llah's prompt response.\n'Am I alluded to or referred to clearly by name?' he asked.\n'Clearly by name,' Baha'u'llah stated. <p246>\n'It is strange', Mirza Taqi Khan retorted with some degree of sarcasm, 'that I have not yet found a reference to myself in the Qur'an!'\n'The reference to your name', Baha'u'llah said, 'is in this verse: \"She said, I fly for refuge unto the merciful from thee if thou art Taqi.\"'[1] (14)\n[1 Naturally, those who rendered the Qur'an into English have translated the word 'Taqi', which means 'fearful'.]\nOn hearing such a disparaging reference attributed to him by Baha'u'llah, Mirza Taqi Khan became extremely angry, but did not reveal his anger. Instead he made a further attempt to ridicule the verse of the Qur'an in question and discredit Baha'u'llah. He asked, 'What about my father, Qurban, is there a reference to him in the Qur'an also?'\n'Yes, there is,' Baha'u'llah affirmed.\n'Is he alluded to or referred to by name?' he asked.\n'He is referred to by name in this verse,' responded Baha'u'llah,\n\"'... come unto us with the Qurban[1] consumed by\nfire.\"'(15)\n[1 Translated as 'sacrifice'.]\nAnother story which demonstrates that Baha'u'llah always defended the Prophets of the past is the following recounted by Mirza Abu'l-Fadl.[1] It relates to the time when Baha'u'llah was a youth in Tihran, before the birth of the Babi Faith:\nAlthough He [Baha'u'llah] had not entered any of the\nschools[1] in Persia and had not acquired knowledge in any\ninstitutions of learning, nevertheless from His early youth\nsigns of greatness and majesty, of good judgement and keen\nintelligence were strikingly apparent in His countenance.\nWhen He was in their gatherings, great men of learning\nwere unable to speak because of His vigorous and awe-inspiring\nutterances which have always been the early signs <p247>\nof the truth of the Manifestations of God.\n[1 Baha'u'llah received the modest education customary for the people of His class. He did not attend the schools of higher learning which were set aside for theologians and divines. See vol. 1, pp. 18-20.]\nA leading figure of the Muslim community recounted the\nfollowing story. 'One day I was present at a meeting in\nwhich a number of state dignitaries and high-ranking\ngovernment personalities were gathered in the presence of\nthe celebrated religious philosopher, Mirza Nazar-'Aliy-i-Hakim-i-Qazvini.\nHe was a leader and a spiritual guide to\nMuhammad-Shah of the Qajar dynasty, and one to whom\nall the sages and devout mystics of the time turned for\n'This famous philosopher, talking in terms of knowledge\ncurrent at the time, was expounding the subject of man's\nattainment to the highest level of spiritual perfection. He\ntalked in this vein until the dormant passion of egotism and\nsensuality was aroused in him, and it then took over the\nreins of speech. He diverted from his topic and turned his\nattention to his own accomplishments. Speaking of his own\nattainments and perfections, he said: \"For example, if at this\nmoment my servant arrived and informed me that Jesus\nChrist was standing outside the door and was asking for\npermission to attain my presence, I would find myself in no\nneed of Him and would not deign to meet Him.\"\n'A few of those present remained silent and the majority,\nas is customary among flatterers, agreed with him.\nBaha'u'llah was present at that meeting. Such a disparaging\nremark about Christ... prompted Him to voice his\nobjection. He could not bear to hear the Manifestation of\nGod treated with insolence. His face showing signs of\nemotion, Baha'u'llah asked the learned philosopher\nwhether he would be willing to answer a question. When he\nagreed, Baha'u'llah said, \"In spite of the fact that the King is\nan ardent admirer of yours, suppose that right now the chief\nexecutioner arrived here with ten soldiers to arrest you and\ntake you to the King. Would you, in these circumstances, be\nfrightened and disturbed or would you respond to his\norders calmly and without fear?\" After a little pause the <p248>\nlearned man replied, \"To be honest, I should be very\nfrightened, would not be able to remain calm and even my\ntongue would be powerless to move.\" Baha'u'llah said, \"A\nperson who is in such a weak position ought not to utter\nsuch a claim!\" Those present were awestruck at the firmness\nof His speech and amazed by the strength of His\nargument.(16)\nThe Majesty of Baha'u'llah\nSome of the disciples of Baha'u'llah who attained His presence have referred to the transcendental majesty of His person. This was such a striking feature of Baha'u'llah that people who came face to face with Him were awed by His presence and often became speechless. Haji Mirza Haydar-'Ali in the course of recounting the stories of his own pilgrimage to 'Akka has commented on this in these words:\nOutwardly He was a Prisoner, condemned and wronged,\nbut in reality He was the Sun of Glory, the Manifestation of\ngrandeur and majesty, the King of the Kingdom of poise\nand dignity. Although he showed much compassion and\nloving-kindness, and approached anyone who came to His\npresence with tender care and humbleness, and often used\nto make humorous remarks to put them at ease, yet in spite\nof these, no one, whether faithful or disbelieving, learned or\nunlettered, wise or foolish, was able to utter ten words in\nHis presence in the usual everyday manner. Indeed, many\nwould find themselves to be tremulous with an impediment\nin their speech.\nSome people asked permission to attain His presence\nfor the sole purpose of conducting arguments and engaging\nin controversies. As a favour on His part, and in order\nto fulfil the testimony and to declare conclusively the\nproofs, He gave these permission to enter the court of\nHis majesty and glory. As they entered the room, heard\nHis voice welcoming them in, and gazed at His countenance\nbeaming with the light of grandeur, they could <p249>\nnot help but prostrate themselves at His door. They would\nthen enter and sit down. When He showed them where\nto sit, they would find themselves unable to utter a word\nor put forward their questions. When they left they would\nbow to Him involuntarily. Some would be transformed\nthrough the influence of meeting Him and would leave\nwith the utmost sincerity and devotion, some would\ndepart as admirers, while others would leave His presence,\nignorant and heedless, attributing their experience to pure\nWhen a believer describes what he has experienced in the\npresence of Baha'u'llah, his impressions may be interpreted\nas being formed through his attitude of self-effacement and\na feeling of utter nothingness in relation to Him. But to\nwhat can it be attributed when one enters into His presence\nas an antagonist and leaves as a believer, or comes in as an\nenemy but goes out as a friend, or comes to raise controversial\narguments, but departs without saying anything and,\ndue to wilful blindness, attributing this to magic? To be\nbrief, the bounties which were vouchsafed to a person as a\nresult of attaining His presence were indescribable and unknowable.\nThe proof of the sun is the sun itself.(17)\nTo cite one example: although in 'Akka Baha'u'llah occasionally allowed certain non-Baha'is to attain His presence, this was the exception rather than the rule and as the years went by He was less inclined to give audiences to people. There was a time when one of the Governors of the City of 'Akka wanted to attain the presence of Baha'u'llah and for years He would not give him permission to do so. Instead, he was to see 'Abdu'l-Baha. Some years passed, and in spite of repeated requests permission was not granted, until the Central Government in Syria required the Governor to visit Baha'u'llah. This being so, he, in the company of a European General, was admitted into His presence. No sooner had they entered the room than they were both struck by His majestic presence. So much were they awed by His person that they <p250> knelt at the door. Although Baha'u'llah had indicated seats for them, they did not change their position. It was unbearably difficult for the General to sit in that posture, especially as he was a stout man. Since Baha'u'llah had nothing to say to them and they remained silent throughout the audience, after about ten minutes they asked permission to leave.\nAs has already been stated in a previous volume,[1] Baha'u'llah used to associate freely with the public when in Baghdad and to a lesser extent in Adrianople. Now in 'Akka He almost completely dissociated Himself from the people of the city and left it to 'Abdu'l-Baha to keep in touch with the public. The contrast between His days in Baghdad and those in 'Akka was great indeed. When in Baghdad, Baha'u'llah had not yet declared His mission. Officially, He and His companions were regarded by the public as the followers of the Bab. He had freedom and so He moved among the people. At one time in Baghdad, His typical engagements during the day were as follows:\nAfter having breakfast in the inner section[1] of His house, He went to the outer apartment set aside for the reception of visitors. The friends used to gather in that room where they attained His presence for about a half to one hour. During this time He used to either sit or pace up and down the room. He then proceeded to an oriental inn (coffee house) in the old part of the city, accompanied by at least two believers. The inn was owned by a certain Siyyid Habib, an Arab, who was not a Babi, but a great admirer of Baha'u'llah and one who showed extraordinary reverence towards Him. Many people, both high and low, attained His presence in this inn. Baha'u'llah often used to speak to them about the Faith of the Bab and expound some verities of the Cause of God. After the meeting in the inn, which usually lasted over an hour, He used to return <p251> to His house, where in the afternoon the believers were able to attain His presence again. He then went back to the inn and returned home about the time of sunset. Then, some evenings, the believers used to come to His house and attain His presence there. Also at times, some eminent personalities, civil and religious dignitaries, Persian princes, and others, came to His presence to seek guidance and sit at His feet, but Baha'u'llah never went to their houses although sometimes He visited the homes of the believers.\n[1 Houses in the Middle East had inner and outer sections. The outer apartments were always set aside for visitors and guests. The inner apartment was private.]\nIn Adrianople Baha'u'llah did not appear in public as much as He had done in Baghdad. Occasionally He visited mosques and sometimes received important guests such as the Governor of the city. But as we have already stated, as the years went by in 'Akka, He seldom received anybody outside the circle of the believers. Of course, there were always exceptional cases. For instance, a short time after the slaying of the three Azalis, the Governor, Salih Pasha, who was ill-disposed towards Baha'u'llah, was dismissed and replaced by Ahmad Big Tawfiq, who was much more sagacious than his predecessor. Soon after he was installed as Governor, Badri Jan, the sister of the murdered Mirza Rida-Quli, went to see him intent upon discrediting Baha'u'llah. In an attempt to completely poison the mind of the Governor, she brought false and slanderous accusations against Baha'u'llah, representing Him as One who was aspiring to rule over all men, the kings included. To prove her allegations she left him a copy of the Suriy-i-Muluk (Surih of the Kings) and some other Tablets.\nThe reading of this Epistle had the opposite effect on the Governor. According to Baha'u'llah's own testimony in a Tablet[18] revealed in the words of His amanuensis, Mirza Aqa Jan, the Governor himself took the Surih and other Tablets to 'Abdu'l-Baha and told Him that as a result of reading those, he had been convinced of the truth of the Cause, and he begged to be allowed to meet Baha'u'llah. After some time, 'Abbud came to Baha'u'llah and requested that permission be given for the <p252> Governor to attain His presence, a request to which Baha'u'llah gave His consent. It was in the course of that meeting that the heart of the Governor was touched with love for Baha'u'llah and was deeply impressed with His spiritual powers. He begged to be allowed to perform a service for Him. Baha'u'llah declined the offer of a personal service, and instead suggested the restoration of a disused aqueduct for the benefit of the inhabitants of the city, a suggestion to which the Governor responded positively.[1]\n[1 For further details of this episode see pp. 24-5.]\nIt was this same Governor who had recognized the distinguishing qualities of 'Abdu'l-Baha and had become His ardent admirer. He often came to the Master for guidance on difficult matters which he faced in the course of his duties. And it was he who raised no objection to the inflow of pilgrims from Persia, although he knew he was acting contrary to the provisions of the edict of the Sultan in this regard.\nAlthough in 'Akka Baha'u'llah did not associate with the public generally, the outpourings of His grace and bounty upon the people did not cease. For 'Abdu'l-Baha, on behalf of His Father, spread His wings of loving-kindness and protection over the inhabitants of 'Akka and its neighbouring lands. To him came for advice and help both high and low. The governors, religious leaders, business men, tourists, the ordinary people of 'Akka and its poor came to either seek His help or to sit at His feet and receive enlightenment from His person. During the lifetime of Baha'u'llah, the modest room in which 'Abdu'l-Baha received people was always open till the early hours of the morning. He attended to the peoples' needs with such genuine love and care that He earned the title 'Father of the Poor' and some referred to Him as the 'Master of 'Akka'. His all-embracing love a\nFirst Converts Outside the Muslim Community\nIt was mainly through 'Abdu'l-Baha's labours and the influence of His magnetic personality that the animosity of the people of 'Akka towards Baha'u'llah and the company of exiles began to change gradually into understanding and, eventually, respect. The door of Baha'u'llah's house which had been closed to the faces of friends and foes alike was now opened, and some believers travelled from Persia and were able to attain His presence in the house of 'Udi Khammar.\nThe Story of Ismu'llahu'l-Asdaq\nNotable among the visitors was Mulla Sadiq-i-Khurasani.[1] 'Sadiq' meaning 'truthful', Baha'u'llah entitled him Ismu'-llahu'l-Asdaq (the Name of God, the Most Truthful). As we shall see, he was instrumental in confirming the first Jewish convert to the Faith of Baha'u'llah.\n[1 See also vol. 1, pp. 92-3; vol. 2, pp. 110, 293n, 388.]\nIt was Baha'u'llah who, unasked, had sent a Tablet to Ismu'llahu'l-Asdaq in Khurasan and invited him to travel to 'Akka for the purpose of attaining His presence. He was one of the most outstanding and devoted believers in this Dispensation. He was a man of learning. Prior to his conversion to the Faith of the Bab he had been a Muslim divine esteemed for his uprightness and dignity, and renowned throughout the province of Khurasan for his piety and truthfulness. A Shaykhi, he had had the unique privilege of <p254> meeting the Bab several times in the city of Karbila prior to His declaration. He had been deeply impressed by the radiance and gentleness mingled with majesty which the youthful Bab evinced as He prayed most tearfully at the Shrine of Imam Husayn. Ismu'llahu'l-Asdaq is reported to have exclaimed when his eyes first fell on Him, 'Glorified be our Lord, the Most High!' He had become a devoted admirer of that Youth while in Karbila, in spite of the fact that the Ismu'llah was a learned divine, one who was held in high esteem by the people, while the Bab was a youth with little education. He had also witnessed the extraordinary reverence shown to that Youth by Siyyid Kazim-i-Rashti,[1] the celebrated leader of the Shaykhi community, who knew that He was none other than the Qa'im Himself, the Promised One of Islam.\n[1 See Nabil-i-A'zam, The Dawn-Breakers, for further information.]\nSoon after the Declaration of the Bab in 1844, when Mulla Husayn was on his way to Tihran, he met Ismu'llahu'l-Asdaq in the city of Isfahan, informed him of the advent of the Bab and gave him some of His Writings to read. Upon reading a few pages he became an ardent believer. But Mulla Husayn, as bidden by the Bab, was not allowed to reveal the identity of the Bab as yet.\nIn his narratives, Nabil-i-A'zam records the circumstances in which the Ismu'llah became an ardent believer:\nMulla Sadiq-Khurasani, formerly known as Muqaddas, and\nsurnamed by Baha'u'llah, Ismu'llahu'l-Asdaq, who\naccording to the instructions of Siyyid Kazim, had during\nthe last five years been residing in Isfahan and had been\npreparing the way for the advent of the new Revelation, was\nalso among the first believers who identified themselves\nwith the Message proclaimed by the Bab. As soon as he\nlearned of the arrival of Mulla Husayn in Isfahan, he\nhastened to meet him. He gives the following account of his\nfirst interview, which took place at night in the home of\nMirza Muhammad-'Aliy-i-Nahri: 'I asked Mulla Husayn\nto divulge the name of Him who claimed to be the promised <p255>\nManifestation. He replied, \"To enquire about that name and\nto divulge it are alike forbidden.\" \"Would it, then, be\npossible,\" I asked, \"for me, even as the Letters of the Living,\nto seek independently the grace of the All-Merciful and,\nthrough prayer, to discover His identity?\" \"The door of His\ngrace,\" he replied, \"is never closed before the face of him\nwho seeks to find Him.\" I immediately retired from his\npresence, and requested his host to allow me the privacy of a\nroom in his house where, alone and undisturbed, I could\ncommune with God. In the midst of my contemplation, I\nsuddenly remembered the face of a Youth whom I had often\nobserved while in Karbila, standing in an attitude of prayer,\nwith His face bathed in tears at the entrance of the shrine of\nImam Husayn. That same countenance now reappeared\nbefore my eyes. In my vision I seemed to behold that same\nface, those same features, expressive of such joy as I could\nnever describe. He smiled as He gazed at me. I went towards\nHim, ready to throw myself at His feet. I was bending\ntowards the ground, when, lo! that radiant figure vanished\nfrom before me. Overpowered with joy and gladness, I ran\nout to meet Mulla Husayn, who with transport received me\nand assured me that I had, at last, attained the object of my\ndesire. He bade me, however, repress my feelings. \"Declare\nnot your vision to anyone,\" he urged me; \"the time for it has\nnot yet arrived. You have reaped the fruit of your patient\nwaiting in Isfahan. You should now proceed to Kirman, and\nthere acquaint Haji Mirza Karim Khan[1] with this Message.\nFrom that place you should travel to Shiraz and endeavour\nto rouse the people of that city from their heedlessness. I\nhope to join you in Shiraz and share with you the blessings\nof a joyous reunion with our Beloved.\"'(1)\n[1 See vol. 1, Appendix IV.]\nSoon after he embraced the Faith of the Bab, persecutions and sufferings descended upon the Ismu'llah and he bore them with exemplary patience and joy. He was one of the three believers who were severely tortured for the first time in the history of the Faith in Persia. The other two were Quddus[1] <p256> and Mulla 'Ali-Akbar-i-Ardistani. The scene of these harrowing persecutions was the city of Shiraz. Nabil recounts the following story concerning Ismu'llahu'l-Asdaq, whom he refers to as Mulla Sadiq:\n[1 The last but the greatest of the company of the Bab's disciples. See The Dawn-Breakers.]\nAn eye-witness of this revolting episode, an unbeliever\nresiding in Shiraz, related to me the following: 'I was\npresent when Mulla Sadiq was being scourged. I watched\nhis persecutors each in turn apply the lash to his bleeding\nshoulders, and continue the strokes until he became\nexhausted. No one believed that Mulla Sadiq, so advanced\nin age and so frail in body, could possibly survive fifty such\nsavage strokes. We marvelled at his fortitude when we\nfound that, although the number of the strokes of the\nscourge he had received had already exceeded nine hundred,\nhis face still retained its original serenity and calm. A smile\nwas upon his face, as he held his hand before his mouth. He\nseemed utterly indifferent to the blows that were being\nshowered upon him. When he was being expelled from the\ncity, I succeeded in approaching him, and asked him why he\nheld his hand before his mouth. I expressed surprise at the\nsmile upon his countenance. He emphatically replied: \"The\nfirst seven strokes were severely painful; to the rest I seemed\nto have grown indifferent. I was wondering whether the\nstrokes that followed were being actually applied to my\nown body. A feeling of joyous exultation had invaded my\nsoul. I was trying to repress my feelings and to restrain my\nlaughter. I can now realise how the almighty Deliverer is\nable, in the twinkling of an eye, to turn pain into ease, and\nsorrow into gladness. Immensely exalted is His power\nabove and beyond the idle fancy of His mortal creatures.\"'\nMulla Sadiq, whom I met years after, confirmed every detail\nof this moving episode.(2)\nThis episode may be considered only as a prelude to many more agonizing persecutions that this man of God went through till the end of his life. Many times in the course of his travels throughout the length and breadth of Persia where he was engaged in teaching the Faith, he was surrounded by the enemies who inflicted all kinds of tortures and afflictions upon <p257> him and were intent on taking his life. He was one of the companions of Quddus and Mulla Husayn in the Fortress of Shaykh Tabarsi.[1] After going through harrowing experiences of pain and suffering in that fortress, his life was providentially spared so as to manifest, at a later time, yet greater heroism and self-sacrifice in the path of the One who was the object of the adoration of the Bab and His disciples.\n[1 See The Dawn-Breakers.]\nIsmu'llahu'l-Asdaq recognized the station of Baha'u'llah as readily as he had the Bab's. He attained the presence of Baha'u'llah in Baghdad and became fully convinced of His exalted station as 'Him Whom God shall make manifest' long before Baha'u'llah made His Declaration in the Garden of Ridvan. For about fourteen months he basked in the sunshine of Baha'u'llah's loving-kindness in that city, and then, as bidden by Him, returned to Persia, ablaze with the love of his new-found Master. He stood out as a tower of strength among the believers and became an instrument for guiding countless souls into the Cause of God. Among them were many people who became renowned in the Faith, such as Ahmad-i-Yazdi, the recipient of the celebrated Tablet of Ahmad, and Haji Mirza Hasan-Ali, the youngest uncle of the Bab.\nThe journey to 'Akka, the scene of his second pilgrimage, was undertaken at an advanced age. The sufferings and hardships of well-nigh thirty years had taken their toll and left him frail, laden with infirmities and weakness. When Baha'u'llah summoned him to 'Akka, He instructed him to leave his son[1] at home and travel in the company of a believer who could take care of him throughout the journey. He arrived in 'Akka probably in the early part of 1874, because Shaykh Kazim-i-Samandar[2] states that when he, together with two of his companions, Haji Nasir-i-Qazvini[3] and Mansur-i-Usku'i, <p258> arrived in 'Akka, Ismu'llahu'l-Asdaq was present there. Shaykh Kazim arrived in 'Akka on 1 March 1874. This pilgrimage to the presence of his Lord was the crowning glory of the life of Ismu'llahu'l-Asdaq. After staying several months in 'Akka, during which he was ushered into the presence of Baha'u'llah many times, he was bidden, in a Tablet revealed for him in 'Akka, to return home.\n[1 He was 'Ali-Muhammad, known as Ibn-i-Asdaq, later appointed by Baha'u'llah as a Hand of the Cause of God.]\n[2 See pp. 88-91.]\nIn this Tablet(3) Baha'u'llah showers His blessings upon him and affirms that in both this visit and his previous one to Baghdad, he had drunk deep of the waters of everlasting life from the hands of his Lord. He then commands him to convey His counsels to the friends so that they may be enabled to adorn themselves with the ornament of goodly character and live a saintly life. He states that the most meritorious of all deeds in this day is to remain steadfast in the Cause of God in such wise that the vain imaginings of the people may be powerless to influence them.\nLawh-i-Ahbab (Tablet of the Friends)\nBaha'u'llah has revealed many Tablets in honour of Ismu'llahu'l-Asdaq. Among them is the Lawh-i-Ahbab. This is one of Baha'u'llah's well-known Tablets revealed in Arabic and contains many passages of loving encouragement addressed to various individuals. This Tablet appears to have been revealed when Baha'u'llah was still in the barracks of 'Akka or soon after He had left it. For in it He mentions that He had written Tablets to some of the kings and also pays glowing tribute to Badi'. It is one of those Writings referred to as the 'Salt of His Tablets'.\nIn the Lawh-i-Ahbab, Baha'u'llah showers praises upon Ismu'llahu'l-Asdaq in such profusion that it is not possible to describe them all. He refers to him as the one who recognized the Promised One as soon as he heard His call--a reference to his meeting Mulla Husayn and reading some passages from the Writings of the Bab. It is clear from the utterances of <p259> Baha'u'llah in this and other Tablets that Baha'u'llah regarded him as one of His most devoted followers and a true believer in every sense of the word, one who would be worthy of emulation by all.\nMost of the Lawh-i-Ahbab contains passages addressed to the friends. Baha'u'llah's counsels in this Tablet are many and cannot be summarized. They are revealed in such terms that no pen can describe them. The power and beauty of the words of the Manifestation of God can be felt only in their own utterances, and not through man's explanation of them. Nevertheless, here is an attempt, however inadequate, to refer to a few of His teachings in this Tablet.\nBaha'u'llah exhorts the believers to steadfastness in His Cause and to detachment from everything beside God, and to unity among themselves. He reminds them that He has accepted sufferings and tribulations so that mankind might become united. He warns them never, therefore, to allow differences to enter their midst. He gives them a commandment: first to live their lives in accordance with His teachings and then to conquer the hearts of men in His Name by holy deeds and exalted character. He enjoins on them to teach the Cause with wisdom, counsels them to arise for the triumph of His Faith in such wise that no earthly power can deter them from executing their purpose, assures them that the glances of His loving-kindness are directed towards them, and prophesies the advent of a day when the banners of victory will be planted in every city, when the peoples of the world will glory in the believers' names and lament over all the sufferings they have borne in the path of their Lord.\nThe following words of 'Abdu'l-Baha paying tribute to this noble and outstanding believer, Ismu'llahu'l-Asdaq, upon whom He conferred posthumously the rank of Hand of the Cause of God, stand out as a eulogy to his cherished memory:\nHe was like a surging sea, a falcon that soared high. His\nvisage shone, his tongue was eloquent, his strength and <p260>\nsteadfastness astounding. When he opened his lips to teach,\nthe proofs would stream out; when he chanted or prayed,\nhis eyes shed tears like a spring cloud. His face was\nluminous, his life spiritual, his knowledge both acquired\nand innate; and celestial was his ardour, his detachment\nfrom the world, his righteousness, his piety and fear of\nGod.(4)\nNo story of Ismu'llahu'l-Asdaq would be complete without referring to his imprisonment in the Siyah-Chal of Tihran where he succeeded in confirming the faith of the first believer of Jewish background. Soon after this historic conversion, a great many of the Jewish people in Persia recognized Baha'u'llah as the promised Lord and became ardent and active believers. To appreciate the story, it is essential to understand the circumstances prevailing at the time in Persia concerning the religious minorities and their attitude to the new-born Faith .\nReligious Minorities in Persia\nAt the time of the coming of the Bab, there were three religious minorities in Persia--the Zoroastrians, the Jews and the Christians. The great majority of the nation consisted of Shi'ah Muslims. Of the three minorities, the Jews and, to a lesser extent, the Zoroastrians were treated with contempt and at times were persecuted by the fanatic mob, often at the instigation of the Muslim clergy. The Christians, mostly of Armenian and Assyrian background, enjoyed greater freedom and respect. This was mainly due to their religious ties with European governments which exercised great influence in Persia at the time.\nThe Zoroastrians, and more especially the Jews, were the underprivileged people. They lived in ghettos and always went in fear of persecution. In their relationship to Muslims, they had to observe certain rules, such as showing respect to a Muslim in the street, and never having an argument with him. <p261> If accompanying him, never to walk alongside him but to be one or two steps behind. Not to touch his garments as otherwise they would become defiled. The money which a Jew or a Zoroastrian handed to a devout Muslim would have to be washed before he could put it in his pocket.\nHaji Muhammad-Tahir-i-Malmiri has recorded some of the incidents that used to occur daily in a certain area of Yazd and which often sparked off disturbances involving the large Zoroastrian community there. The following is a summary of his notes:\nThe Muslim clergy wielded great power and the\ngovernment was weak. Every day, they would find a pretext\nand invent a story against the Zoroastrians. For instance,\nthey would inform the public that a certain Zoroastrian was\nseen to be riding his donkey in the presence of Muslims.[1] It\nwas understood that such an act was an offence, because it\nwas not considered courteous to ride if a Muslim was\nwalking. This accusation would result in the corporal\npunishment of the victim. Or, they would claim that the\ncolor of the head-dress of a certain Zoroastrian merchant\nwas dark and somewhat resembled the color of the headdress\nof the Siyyids.[2] The color ought to have been bright\nyellow. The mass hysteria created as a result of such an\nincident was so powerful that almost instantly it could bring\nabout an upheaval in the city.\n[1 A great part of the Zoroastrian community in Persia lived in Yazd and surrounding villages. Those in the villages often had to ride on donkeys to come to the city, but once in the bazaars they had to dismount as a sign of respect to the Muslims.]\n[2 The descendants of the Prophet Muhammad. Theirs was the exclusive right to wear green turbans.]\nOn another day, they would accuse a certain Zoroastrian\nthat he had passed a Muslim in the street but failed to salute\nhim. Or that a certain Muslim had reason to beat up a\nZoroastrian, but in the course of being beaten up, the poor\nZoroastrian had mustered such audacity as to raise his hand\nas if intending to defend himself. Such a person would then\nbe punished by the authorities. It was an established ruling <p262>\nthat every Zoroastrian who came out of his house had to\ncarry a piece of cloth with him. This was needed if he had to\nsit somewhere, for he would not be allowed to sit[1] unless he\nspread the cloth and sat on it, as otherwise he would have\ndefiled the earth.(5)\n[1 In those days people did not use chairs in shops, business premises and homes, and it was common to sit on the floor.]\nBeing ill-treated during centuries of Islamic rule, the Jews and Zoroastrians immensely disliked the Muslims and had developed some defensive tactics. The most effective one was to keep their distance from Islamic peoples and institutions. They despised the culture, the Arabic language and anything to do with Islam.\nThe Bab and Baha'u'llah appeared within such a society. Both were from Islamic background. The Bab was a descendant of the Prophet Muhammad. Like Jesus Christ, who was from Jewish background and practised that Faith, the Bab and Baha'u'llah before the birth of the New Faith were practising Muslims. And when they revealed themselves as the Manifestations of God, their words and teachings, especially those of the Bab, had such strong links with the religion of Islam that in the early days the new Faith appeared to the minority religions in Persia to be a sect of Islam. For this reason it was very natural for Jews and Zoroastrians to avoid the Babis and Baha'is at all costs. Another disadvantage was that a great part of the Writings of the Bab and Baha'u'llah were revealed in Arabic which was not only incomprehensible to them, but despised and hated because it was the language of Islam.\nIt will be readily seen that the conversion of Jews and Zoroastrians to the Faith of Baha'u'llah which to all outward appearances was the extension of Islam, whose literature was in the Arabic language and whose followers were exclusively from Muslim background, was one of the miracles of the time. It also demonstrates the creative power of the Revelation of <p263> Baha'u'llah which, in spite of so many barriers, exerted a tremendous influence upon these people, vivified their souls, granted them a new vision, enrolled them under the banner of His Cause and enabled them to render meritorious services in spreading His message, first among their own communities and later the whole nation.\nThere can be no greater proof of the universality of the message of Baha'u'llah and the authenticity of His claim to be the Promised One of all ages, than the Jews and Zoroastrians of Persia embracing His Faith in the nineteenth century. Their conversion was not superficial, nor was it an expedient measure to free themselves from the yoke of suppression and tyranny. Rather, when these people joined the ranks of the Baha'is, their sufferings were multiplied. Not only would they become fresh targets for attack by the Muslims who abhorred their conversion to the Faith of Baha'u'llah, but also their own communities often persecuted them, and in some instances they were martyred by their own people. For instance, in Yazd the Zoroastrian priests rose up against a number of people in that community who had become Baha'is. The fierce persecutions which started within the Zoroastrian enclave by the Zoroastrian people and often in alliance with the Muslim clergy and fanatics against the newly converted followers of Baha'u'llah are reminiscent of the cruelties perpetrated by the Muslims, the chief adversaries of the Faith in Persia. Thus, in the villages surrounding Yazd, a couple of Baha'is of Zoroastrian background were martyred. In the city an outstanding personality within the community was done to death because of his genuine interest and sympathy towards the newly emerging Faith.\nThe fate of the Jews who had embraced the Cause of Baha'u'llah was no brighter. They too were subjected to harassment and persecution from within their ghettos as well as from outside. The conversion of Jews and Zoroastrians to the Cause of Baha'u'llah was a genuine act of faith. They fully recognized Him as the Promised One of their own Holy <p264> Books, One who is described by Shoghi Effendi in these words:\nHe Who in such dramatic circumstances was made to\nsustain the overpowering weight of so glorious a Mission\nwas none other than the One Whom posterity will acclaim,\nand Whom innumerable followers already recognize, as the\nJudge, the Lawgiver and Redeemer of all mankind, as the\nOrganizer of the entire planet, as the Unifier of the children\nof men, as the Inaugurator of the long-awaited millennium,\nas the Originator of a new 'Universal Cycle', as the\nEstablisher of the Most Great Peace, as the Fountain of the\nMost Great Justice, as the Proclaimer of the coming of age\nof the entire human race, as the Creator of a new World\nOrder, and as the Inspirer and Founder of a world\nTo Israel He was neither more nor less than the\nincarnation of the 'Everlasting Father,' the 'Lord of Hosts'\ncome down 'with ten thousands of saints'; to Christendom\nChrist returned 'in the glory of the Father,' to Shi'ah Islam\nthe return of the Imam Husayn; to Sunni Islam the descent\nof the 'Spirit of God' (Jesus Christ); to the Zoroastrians the\npromised Shah-Bahram; to the Hindus the reincarnation of\nKrishna; to the Buddhists the fifth Buddha.(6)\nThe entry into the Faith by members of these two religious minorities in Persia during its early days demonstrated to the people of that country that the Cause of Baha'u'llah was an independent religion. It silenced and discomfited the enemies who, in order to undermine the new Faith, had dismissed it as the outcome of an irresponsible adventure by its Founders who were of Muslim extraction, and had falsely introduced it to the public as a sect of Islam.\nIt also demonstrated the power of Baha'u'llah's creative Word in that once they accepted Baha'u'llah, the followers of these two religions also acknowledged the authenticity and the divine origin of the Messages of all the Prophets, the Founders of the world's major religions, including Christ and <p265> Muhammad. A great many Muslims in the early days of the Faith were amazed to hear words of praise and glorification of the Prophet Muhammad and proofs of the truth of His Mission coming from the Baha'is who had once belonged to the Jewish or Zoroastrian communities. This angered the fanatic Muslims very much. For they knew that for over one thousand years very few, if any, Muslims had succeeded in making the Jews or Zoroastrians acknowledge the truth of Islam, and now, through the words of Baha'u'llah, thousands had been converted. But there were others among the Muslims who were pure-hearted and were deeply moved when they heard these people had accepted the truth of Islam; consequently some were led to investigate the Faith of Baha'u'llah and eventually become Baha'is.\nThe Baha'i community in Persia consisted from the early days of believers who had come from the three major religious backgrounds. The majority were from the Islamic and the rest from the Jewish and Zoroastrian Faiths. But the Faith did not make much headway among the Christians in Persia. The majority of the Christians who entered the Faith came from countries of the Western world. This process started during the early years of 'Abdu'l-Baha's ministry.\nThe Story of Hakim Masih, the First Jewish Believer\nThe first of the Jewish community to recognize the truth of the Mission of Baha'u'llah in Persia was a notable physician named Masih. (Messiah) referred to as Hakim Masih.[1] Being highly skilled in his profession, he was appointed as a physician to the court of Muhammad Shah, and when the Shah made a journey to 'Iraq, Hakim Masih. accompanied him. When in Baghdad, he learnt that Tahirih was staying in the home of one of the early believers, and was holding discussions with the divines in the city. He went there to see what was being said. No sooner <p266> had he heard the utterances of Tahirih addressed to the company of divines, and witnessed their helplessness to refute her proofs in support of her newly found Faith, than he was captivated by her powerful arguments and sheer personality. Although he was not allowed to enter into any discussions, Hakim Masih was very curious to find out how Tahirih had acquired such eloquence and powers which bordered on the supernatural.\n[1 The title of Hakim was given to people who were skilled physicians and were endowed with wisdom and divine knowledge.]\nShaykh Kazim-i-Samandar[1] has recorded the following in his memoirs:\n[1 See pp. 88, 257.]\nI met Hakim Masih who was of Jewish descent. He was the\nfirst among the Jews to enter the community of the friends\n(i.e. Baha'is). It surprised me when I discovered that he was\nfriendly, faithful, full of enthusiasm and love; and so said to\nhim, 'There is a large gap between the Faith of Moses and\nthis great Cause, how did you make this long and glorious\njourney and arrive at this abode?' He said, 'My visit to\nBaghdad coincided with the time that Tahirih was in that\ncity. Through some circumstances I was present at some of\nthe meetings where she conversed with the divines. I was\nastonished and awestruck by the way she talked, by the\nmanner in which she conducted her conversations, and by\nthe power of her utterances. I became attracted and began to\nmeditate and decided to investigate this Cause and deepen\nmy knowledge of it. I made some enquiries in Baghdad and\nlater in other places, until I attained my heart's desire.(7)\nSome years after meeting Tahirih in Baghdad, Hakim Masih met Ismu'llahu'l-Asdaq, a meeting brought about by Providence. The Ismu'llah had been arrested because of his allegiance to the Faith, put in chains and brought to Tihran under escort. This cruel act was carried out by order of the Governor of Khurasan who was enforcing an edict issued by no less than eighteen divines of Islam in that province. The Ismu'llah was forced to take with him his youngest son, Ibn-i-Asdaq, who was a mere child at the time. Two other believers <p267> were also chained and taken to Tihran with him.\nThe intention was to execute them in the capital city. Instead, the Government ordered that they be imprisoned in the Siyah-Chal. Father and child were chained together and kept in that terrible dungeon for about two years and four months.\nThe hardships of prison life took their toll and the young child became seriously ill. The chief gaoler, a certain Mashhadi 'Ali, was a kind person and he sent for a physician. But no physician could be found who would be willing to treat a patient who was a Babi. In desperation he called on Hakim Masih who was Jewish. He accepted and immediately went to the prison.\nFor a period of two months he regularly attended the child until he recovered from his illness. At the same time, having been so deeply impressed by Tahirih, this gave him the opportunity to learn about the Faith from an illustrious believer. Even after his patient had fully recovered he used to spend hours in the prison, sitting at the Ismu'llah's feet and learning about the Faith. Soon after, he became a believer fully aware that the Promised One of the Old Testament, the 'Everlasting Father', the Lord of Hosts, had manifested Himself. When Baha'u'llah was informed of His conversion, He revealed an exalted Tablet in his honour. He has revealed other Tablets for him too, but unfortunately most of these were destroyed. This is because in those days the believers used to protect their Baha'i materials by hiding them underground or inside the walls, so that they might not fall into the hands of the enemy. Sadly, when unearthed, the Tablets of Hakim Masih. were found to have been destroyed by moisture.\nIn one of these Tablets,(8) Baha'u'llah urges Hakim Masih to be steadfast in the Cause of God so that he may not be shaken by the winds of opposition which were blowing from the direction of the enemies. He states that the people were following the dictates of their passions and corrupt desires, <p268> and directs him to counsel such people to abandon their evil ways and turn to their God. Baha'u'llah, in this Tablet, showers His favours upon Hakim Masih and affirms that He has bestowed upon him a great station. Hakim Masih taught the Faith to his family who became ardent believers. Notable among his descendants was Dr Lutfu'llah Hakim, his youngest grandson, who served the Master and Shoghi Effendi with exemplary devotion and was elected to the Universal House of Justice in 1963 when that Supreme Body of the Faith came into being for the first time.\nThe light of the new Faith of God which shone forth in the heart of Hakim Masih illumined many more among his co-religionists in Persia. At first, a few embraced the Cause of Baha'u'llah in Hamadan and Kashan and soon great numbers from the Jewish community joined the Faith and swelled the ranks of the believers in Persia. There are many Tablets revealed by Baha'u'llah in honour of the believers of Jewish background.\nZoroastrians Enter the Faith\nThe introduction and growth of the Cause among the followers of Zoroaster was no less spectacular and far-reaching. The following story is related by 'Abdu'l-Baha:\n... they relate that the possessions of a certain Babi in\nKashan were plundered, and his household scattered and\ndispersed. They stripped him naked and scourged him,\ndefiled his beard, mounted him face backwards on an ass\nand paraded him through the streets and bazaars with the\nutmost cruelty, to the sound of drums, trumpets, guitars\nand tambourines. A certain guebre[1] who knew absolutely\nnaught of the world or its denizens chanced to be seated\napart in a corner of a caravansaray. When the clamour of the\npeople rose high he hastened into the street, and, becoming <p269>\ncognizant of the offence and the offender, and the cause of\nhis public disgrace and punishment in full detail, he fell to\nmaking search, and that very day entered the society of the\nBabis, saying, 'This very ill-usage and public humiliation is\na proof of truth and the very best of arguments. Had it not\nbeen thus it might have been that a thousand years would\nhave passed ere one like me became informed.'(9)\n[1 Zoroastrian. (A.T.)]\nHAKIM MASIH\nHaji Mu'inu's-Saltanih, a historian from Tabriz, has stated that the believer who was persecuted in the above account was a certain Haji Muhammad-Rida, a merchant of Kashan, and that the Zoroastrian who acknowledged the truth of the Faith of the Bab was Suhrab-i-Pur-Kavus. Unfortunately, there is not much information available about him.\nThe first to believe among the Zoroastrians during the ministry of Baha'u'llah is reputed to be Kay-Khusraw-i-Khudadad and the story of his becoming aware of the truth of the Faith is similar to that of Suhrab-i-Pur-Kavus. Kay-Khusraw, a native of Yazd, was also living in Kashan as a merchant. He saw one of the believers tortured and put to death. This harrowing scene evoked in him an urge to investigate the Cause and as a result he became a follower. Some early believers among the Zoroastrians who came in contact with him in Kashan owe their allegiance to the Cause through his teaching work.\nKay-Khusraw-i-Khudadad was well-known in the Zoroastrian community. He was a member of a special 'Council of Zoroastrians' set up by Manikchi Sahib. The latter went from India to Persia with a view to helping his co-religionists in that country and obtaining more freedom for them He met Nasiri'd-Din Shah and succeeded in securing a royal decree absolving the Zoroastrians from payment of a certain religious tax which for years had been imposed upon religious minorities in Persia. He also invited a number of prominent Zoroastrians to serve on the above Council which was recognized by the Shah. <p270>\nLawh-i-Manikchi Sahib\nManikchi passed through Baghdad on his way to Persia when Baha'u'llah was in that city. He attained His presence there and became His admirer. In later years he maintained friendly contact with Baha'u'llah through correspondence. He was assisted in this by Mirza Abu'l-Fadl, who after embracing the Faith worked as a secretary for Manikchi for some years. In answer to a letter, Baha'u'llah revealed a Tablet for him known as the Lawh-i-Manikchi Sahib.(10) This is mainly revealed in pure Persian,[1] for the latter was keen to promote the Persian language in its original form. Although Manikchi did not become a Baha'i, he remained a sympathetic friend.\n[1 When Islam became the main religion of Persia, Arabic words were introduced into the Persian language. The present Persian language incorporates many Arabic words, which have become part of the Persian vocabulary. As against this, there is the 'pure Persian' which is not commonly spoken, but is occasionally written. Some scholars have excelled themselves in this field: Mirza Abu'l-Fadl was one. But pure Persian is not in general use. In most of Baha'u'llah's Writings in Persian\nArabic and Persian words are used together. Only a small number of Baha'u'llah's Writings, those addressed to Zoroastrian believers, are mainly revealed in pure Persian.]\nFrom the literary point of view, the Tablet of Baha'u'llah to Manikchi Sahib is a masterpiece of the pure Persian language. In its lucidity and eloquence, its richness and beauty, it is no less outstanding than other celebrated Tablets revealed either in Arabic or Persian. This Tablet contains some of the choicest utterances of Baha'u'llah. The celebrated passage, 'Ye are the fruits of one tree and the leaves of one branch', was revealed in this Tablet.[1] Baha'u'llah here invites the peoples of the world to enter the portals to freedom which have been opened wide through His Revelation, and to drink deep from the springs of knowledge which have welled forth from His utterances. He uses the analogy of an eyelid, a small shutter, which can obstruct the vision, to illustrate that the veil of covetousness can likewise obscure the light of the soul. He likens harsh <p271> words to a deadly sword, and a kindly tongue to refreshing food, states that God, the Creator, approves of any process through which the individual may be enabled to shed some of his ignorance and increase his knowledge and understanding, affirms that man will experience peace and tranquillity when he becomes the well-wisher of all that dwell on earth and exhorts the peoples to leave the darkness of enmity and enter the light of unity.\n[1 This famous passage is to be found also in the Ishraqat.]\nThe following is a small portion of the Tablet to Manikchi which has been translated into English by Shoghi Effendi:\nThe All-Knowing Physician hath His finger on the pulse of\nmankind. He perceiveth the disease, and prescribeth, in His\nunerring wisdom, the remedy. Every age hath its own\nproblem, and every soul its particular aspiration. The\nremedy the world needeth in its present-day afflictions can\nnever be the same as that which a subsequent age may\nrequire. Be anxiously concerned with the needs of the age ye\nlive in, and centre your deliberations in its exigencies and\nWe can well perceive how the whole human race is\nencompassed with great, with incalculable afflictions. We\nsee it languishing on its bed of sickness, sore-tried and\ndisillusioned. They that are intoxicated by self-conceit have\ninterposed themselves between it and the Divine and\ninfallible Physician. Witness how they have entangled all\nmen, themselves included, in the mesh of their devices.\nThey can neither discover the cause of the disease, nor have\nthey any knowledge of the remedy. They have conceived\nthe straight to be crooked, and have imagined their friend an\nIncline your ears to the sweet melody of this Prisoner.\nArise, and lift up your voices, that haply they that are fast\nasleep may be awakened. Say: O ye who are as dead! The\nHand of Divine bounty proffereth unto you the Water of\nLife. Hasten and drink your fill. Whoso hath been re-born\nin this Day, shall never die; whoso remaineth dead, shall\nnever live.(11) <p272>\nLawh-i-Haft Pursish (Tablet of Seven Questions)\nThe Council of Zoroastrians which was set up by Manikchi Sahib consisted of the most prominent Zoroastrians of Yazd. At one time there were nineteen councillors, six of whom became Baha'is. As we have already mentioned, Kay-Khusraw-i-Khudadad, the first believer, was among them. Others who joined the Faith were men of learning or people held in high esteem by the community. Notable among them was the renowned Ustad Javan-Mard, the Secretary of the Council. He was a teacher by profession and became a devoted believer. He wrote a letter to Baha'u'llah and asked some questions. The Lawh-i-Haft Pursish, in pure Persian, was revealed in his honour. Baha'u'llah in this Tablet calls him by a new name, Shir-Mard (Lion of a man). The following is a short extract from the Lawh-i-Haft Pursish, translated by Shoghi Effendi:\nO high priests! Ears have been given you that they ma\nhearken unto the mystery of Him Who is the Self-Dependent,\nand eyes that they may behold Him. Wherefore\nflee ye? The Incomparable Friend is manifest. He speaketh\nthat wherein lieth salvation. Were ye, O high priests, to\ndiscover the perfume of the rose-garden of understanding,\nye would seek none other but Him, and would recognize, in\nHis new vesture, the All-Wise and Peerless One, and would\nturn your eyes from the world and all who seek it, and\nwould arise to help Him... Whatsoever hath been\nannounced in the Books hath been revealed and made clear.\nFrom every direction the signs have been manifested. The\nOmnipotent One is calling, in this Day, and announcing the\nappearance of the Supreme Heaven.(12)\nShir-Mard was the first Zoroastrian Baha'i to be buried instead of having his body disposed of in the Dakhmih[1] as was <p273> the custom among his people. Other Baha'is from the Zoroastrian background followed his example and built a special Baha'i Cemetery. This action provoked fierce opposition from the community. The Baha'i Cemetery was attacked and some of the graves were desecrated.\n[1 An open tower, usually built outside the city in which the dead bodies of Zoroastrians are placed and exposed to nature. After the flesh has been devoured by vultures, the bones are thrown into a deep well.]\nThis opposition was not over the issue of burials only. The mere act of conversion to a new Faith, something which had never happened to Zoroastrians since the early days of Islam, provoked the wrath of the high priests against the newly converted Baha'is who openly proclaimed to the community that the Shah-Bahram, the Promised One of the Zoroastrians, had been manifested in the person of Baha'u'llah. Soon persecutions began, sometimes with the tacit approval of the Muslim clergy. A certain Master Khudabakhsh, a distinguished member of the Council of Zoroastrians and a school teacher of wide repute, although not officially a Baha'i, was shot dead because of his sympathy and generous support for the Baha'is. Others were persecuted in different ways. But soon the number of converts to the Faith of Baha'u'llah grew, and to the astonishment of both Muslims and Zoroastrians, a great many families acknowledged the station of Baha'u'llah and swelled the ranks of the believers especially in Yazd and its surrounding villages.\nThe conversion of Muslims, Jews and Zoroastrians to the Faith of Baha'u'llah in Persia in the early days of the ministries of the Bab and Baha'u'llah was followed by the conversion of adherents of other Faiths in other parts of the world. Within a short period of time, the followers of all religions, creeds and ideologies as well as pagans, agnostics and atheists, representing peoples of all colours, races and tribes, embraced the Faith, and began to build unitedly the foundations of the Baha'i world community. So dynamic has been the process of entry into the Faith by the peoples of the world that within less than a hundred years since Baha'u'llah's Declaration in the Garden of Ridvan, an army of pioneers and travelling teachers <p274> from every conceivable background has arisen to circle the globe for the spreading of the Cause of Baha'u'llah and the diffusion of the light of His Faith to the world's multitudes. This process which began in the early days of the Faith is now gathering momentum and will continue to forge ahead until the goals of the unification of the entire human race and universal allegiance to the Cause of Baha'u'llah are totally fulfilled.\nthe upper left. <p275>\nKitab-i-Aqdas.\n1. The Law of God\nIn the early part of 1873, almost five years after His arrival in 'Akka, Baha'u'llah, then confined in the house of 'Udi Khammar, revealed the Kitab-i-Aqdas, the Most Holy Book, regarded as the Mother Book of this Dispensation, a Book unique and incomparable among the world's sacred scriptures, designated by Himself as the 'Source of true felicity', the 'unerring Balance', the 'Straight path', the 'quickener of mankind', the 'river of mercy', the 'Ark of His laws'. To it the Prophets of the past have alluded as the 'new heaven', the 'new earth', the 'Tabernacle of God', the 'Holy City', the 'Bride' and the 'New Jerusalem coming down from God'. Shoghi Effendi has acclaimed it as the charter of Baha'u'llah's new world order and of future world civilization.\nThis book, written in Arabic, the brightest emanation from the Pen of the Most High, stands out from among all Baha'u'llah's writings as the 'Mother Book' of His Dispensation. Next to it in rank is the Kitab-i-Iqan (Book of Certitude).[1] Of the Kitab-i-Aqdas, Baha'u'llah states, 'this Book is a heaven which We have adorned with the stars of Our commandments and prohibitions', and again, 'verily, it is My weightiest testimony unto all people, and the proof of the All-Merciful unto all who are in heaven and all who are on earth'(1)\nAs well as being the mightiest and most exalted of Baha'u'llah's writings, the Kitab-i-Aqdas is from the literary point of view one of the most beautiful. It is matchless in its eloquence, unsurpassed in its lucidity, enchanting in its style, superb in its composition and varied in its theme. Every <p276> sentence is simple and easily intelligible to the reader: it is impossible to suggest a better or more eloquent construction. It is the masterpiece of Baha'u'llah's utterances. Though basically a book of laws and ordinances, it is so revealed that its laws are interwoven with passages of spiritual counsel and exhortation, of weighty pronouncements and divine guidance. The manner in which this is done is unique and original. It fascinates the reader with its beauty and enchantment. Of it Baha'u'llah speaks, 'By My life! It hath been sent down in a manner that amazeth the minds of men.' And in another passage He states:\nBy God! such is the majesty of what hath been revealed\ntherein, and so tremendous the revelation of its veiled\nallusions that the loins of utterance shake when attempting\ntheir description.(2)\nIn revealing the Kitab-i-Aqdas, Baha'u'llah may be likened to a celestial bird whose habitation is in the realm of the spirit far above the ken of men, soaring in the spiritual heights of glory. In that station, Baha'u'llah speaks about spiritual matters, reveals the verities of His Cause and unveils the glory of His Revelation to mankind. From such a lofty horizon this immortal Bird of the Spirit suddenly and unexpectedly descends upon the world of dust. In this station, Baha'u'llah announces and expounds laws. Then the Bird takes its flight back into the spiritual domains. Here the Tongue of Grandeur speaks again with majesty and authority, revealing some of the choicest passages treasured in the Kitab-i-Aqdas. Shoghi Effendi, the Guardian of the Baha'i Faith, translated a considerable number of these passages into superb English and included most of them in Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah.[1]\n[1 The following passages in Gleanings are from the Kitab-i-Aqdas XXXVII, LVI, LXX, LXXI, LXXII, XCVIII, CV, CLV, CLIX and\nCLXV.]\nThis ascent and descent, the revelation of spiritual teachings <p277> on the one hand, and the giving of laws on the other, follow one another throughout the Book. There seems to be no visible pattern for the interweaving of the two, nor is there any apparent connection between them. Baha'u'llah, after expounding some of His choicest teachings or revealing some of His counsels and exhortations, abruptly changes the subject and gives one or more laws which outwardly seem not to have any relevance to the previous subject.\nEvery major religion has had laws given by its Founder. These laws have played an important part in governing community affairs and guiding the lives of the individual believers; Judaism and Islam are the best examples. In the' Christian Faith, however, there are not many laws given by Christ, and because of this, it may be difficult for people of Christian background to appreciate the significance of religious laws and the vital role they play in the life of the community. Probably the reason why Christ did not reveal many laws for His followers is that His Message was mainly directed towards individual salvation, and left no major guidelines for community affairs. He laid emphasis on the spiritual health of the individual as epitomized in His Sermon on the Mount, but left no laws to govern the activities of communities and nations and to define their relationship to each other.\nThe laws of every religion are valid and applicable until the next Manifestation of God appears. After that they become out of date and lose their effectiveness; people do not feel the urge to follow them. For instance, the laws of Moses were in accord with the spirit of the age until the appearance of Christ when they became out of date. There are many laws in the Old Testament which were good for the age they were designed for and which were practised for over a thousand years, but they are not applicable any longer. The laws of Islam which were given by the Prophet Muhammad were valid up to the time of the coming of the Bab. These laws were operative among the Islamic nations for about thirteen hundred lunar years. Ever <p278> since the revelation of the Kitab-i-Aqdas, in which the laws of the new age were formulated, most of the laws of Islam have become inoperative. Not only have some of the Islamic governments been forced to abandon the application of Islamic laws in favour of civil laws which they themselves have enacted, but the spirit of the new age, manifesting itself both through constructive and destructive processes, has so radically changed social circumstances that in many instances it has become impossible to implement the laws of Islam.\nThe laws revealed in the Bayan by the Bab were designed to be short-lived. Some of them were incomplete, being either directly or by implication dependent upon the advent of 'Him Whom God shall make Manifest'.[1] The laws of the Babi religion were abrogated by the revelation of the Kitab-i-Aqdas. Only a few of the laws given by the Bab were confirmed by Baha'u'llah and these were reinstated in that same book. 'Abdu'l-Baha has declared that those laws of the Bab which were not confirmed in the Kitab-i-Aqdas are to be considered as abrogated.(3) In another Tablet He sates that any law revealed elsewhere in the Writings of Baha'u'llah, if contrary to the laws of the Aqdas, is invalid. But those which are not contrary, or are not mentioned in the Kitab-i-Aqdas, are valid and binding.\n[1 Baha'u'llah. See vol. 1, ch. 18.]\nIndeed, as we survey the Writings of Baha'u'llah, we come across many Tablets which contain some laws or deal with the elucidation and application of laws. Such Tablets are regarded as supplementary to the Kitab-i-Aqdas. It is therefore clear that the Kitab-i-Aqdas on its own does not contain all the laws of Baha'u'llah. After its revelation Baha'u'llah permitted Zaynu'l-Muqarribin,[1] one of His devoted companions, who was formerly a mujtahid (Doctor of Islamic law) and highly experienced in the application of Islamic law, to ask any questions he might have regarding the application of the laws of Baha'u'llah. The answers given by Him are contained in a <p279> book known as Questions and Answers which is to be regarded as an appendix to the Kitab-i-Aqdas.\nIn a Tablet[4] written by Mirza Aqa Jan, Baha'u'llah's amanuensis, dated 15th of Jamadiyu'l-Awal 1290 (11 July 1873), it is stated that the Kitab-i-Aqdas was revealed around that time. It also refers to the circumstances which led to its revelation. For some years, the believers had been asking questions about the laws of the Faith, but Baha'u'llah did not find it timely to respond to them. While in Adrianople He revealed a number of laws in His Persian writings, but did not release them to the believers. Questions continued to come to him while in 'Akka, and when the time was propitious, Baha'u'llah revealed the Kitab-i-Aqdas. But from the beginning He stressed to His followers the need to be discreet and wise in the implementation of its laws. He advised them not to practise any of its provisions which might prove to be untimely or could cause agitation or disturbance among the people.\nShortly after the revelation of the Kitab-i-Aqdas, Haji Siyyid Javad-i-Karbila'i,[1] a distinguished believer who was held in high esteem by the community, was anxious for the Baha'is to implement the laws of that Book. In a Tablet addressed to him, Baha'u'llah discloses the pre-eminent position which the Kitab-i-Aqdas occupies, refers to it as the most great magnet through which the hearts of the peoples of the world will be attracted, and prophesies that through it the majesty and sovereignty of God will, ere long, be made manifest. But He counsels Haji Siyyid Javad to exercise caution and wisdom in the implementation of its laws at that time. The following is an extract from the above-mentioned Tablet to Haji Siyyid Javad:\nFor a number of years, petitions reached the Most Holy\nPresence from various lands begging for the laws of God,\nbut We held back the Pen ere the appointed time had come. <p280>\nThereupon the Day-Star of the laws and ordinances shone\nforth from above the horizon of the Will of God, as a token\nof His grace unto the peoples of the world. He, verily, is the\nEver-Forgiving, the Most Generous... Indeed the laws of\nGod are like unto the ocean and the children of men as fish,\ndid they but know it. However, in observing them one must\nexercise tact and wisdom... Since most people are feeble\nand far-removed from the purpose of God, therefore one\nmust observe tact and prudence under all conditions, so that\nnothing might happen that could cause disturbance and\ndissension or raise clamour among the heedless. Verily, His\nbounty hath surpassed the whole universe and His\nbestowals encompassed all that dwell on earth. One must\nguide mankind to the ocean of true understanding in a spirit\nof love and tolerance. The Kitab-i-Aqdas itself beareth\neloquent testimony to the loving providence of God.(5)\nIn the same year that the Kitab-i-Aqdas was revealed Baha'u'llah allowed Jamal-i-Burujirdi,[1] who was then in 'Akka, to copy certain parts of it and share it with the friends in Persia. But again He emphasized wisdom and discretion in the application of its laws. It has already been explained in the previous volume that through their mercy and compassion the Manifestations of God do not announce all their new laws to their followers suddenly. Knowing man's strong attachment to old laws and customs, they introduce their new laws gradually over a period of time during which their followers become enlightened and ready to receive them.[2]\n[1 It is interesting to note that this proud and egotistical Jamal asked\nBaha'u'llah to make him exempt from obedience to the laws of the Kitab-i-Aqdas.\nBaha'u'llah granted him his wish and conveyed to him that he\nwas free and did not have to obey any of the laws of that Book. For further\ninformation on this notorious person who eventually became a\nCovenant-breaker, see vol. 2.]\n[2 For further information on this subject see vol. 2, pp. 353-4.]\nThe study of the Writings of Baha'u'llah and 'Abdu'l-Baha makes it clear that most of the laws of the Kitab-i-Aqdas, apart from those which are of a spiritual nature, or in conformity <p281> with the conditions prevailing at the time, are designed for the future when the Baha'i Faith becomes the religion of the land It is then that these laws will be fully implemented within the framework of a new civilization which is to emerge later from amidst the chaos and confusion of present-day society.\nShoghi Effendi, the Guardian of the Faith, has described the laws of the Kitab-i-Aqdas as the 'warp and woof' of Baha'u'llah's World Order. Without these laws, mankind will not be able to take part in the establishment of the promised Kingdom of God on earth. The World Order of Baha'u'llah, however, is still growing in its embryonic form. In the fullness of time it will be born and will usher in an age the glories of which we in this day cannot fully visualize, an age in which the teachings of Baha'u'llah will guide and govern the life of man on this planet. Then and only then will the wisdom and significance of all the laws of the Kitab-i-Aqdas become manifest, their relevance to the needs of the age become apparent and their application become a vital necessity.\nWithin the compass of three pages in God Passes By Shoghi Effendi has summarized the Kitab-i-Aqdas in such a masterly fashion that if studied carefully, the reader will know all the basic subjects that are contained in this exalted Book. The following is part of his summary enumerating some of the fundamental laws of this Dispensation:\nIn this Book He, moreover, prescribes the obligatory\nprayers; designates the time and period of fasting; prohibits\ncongregational prayer except for the dead; fixes the Qiblih;\ninstitutes the Huququ'llah (Right of God); formulates the\nlaw of inheritance; ordains the institution of the\nMashriqu'l-Adhkar; establishes the Nineteen Day Feasts,\nthe Baha'i festivals and the Intercalary Days; abolishes the\ninstitution of priesthood; prohibits slavery, asceticism,\nmendicancy, monasticism, penance, the use of pulpits and\nthe kissing of hands; prescribes monogamy; condemns\ncruelty to animals, idleness and sloth, backbiting and\ncalumny; censures divorce; interdicts gambling, the use of <p282>\nopium, wine and other intoxicating drinks; specifies the\npunishments for murder, arson, adultery and theft; stresses\nthe importance of marriage and lays down its essential\nconditions; imposes the obligation of engaging in some\ntrade or profession, exalting such occupation to the rank of\nworship; emphasizes the necessity of providing the means\nfor the education of children; and lays upon every person\nthe duty of writing a testament and of strict obedience to\none's government.(6)\nThere are some laws which Baha'u'llah has not formulated in the Kitab-i-Aqdas or other Tablets. He has deliberately gaps in the structure of His laws and these will have to be filled by the Universal House of Justice, the supreme legislative body of the Faith, authorized by Baha'u'llah to enact laws which are not explicitly revealed by Him. The laws enacted by this body can be altered at a later time by the same body when conditions in society will have radically changed and this provision guarantees that laws which are temporary in nature may keep pace with humanity's progress.\nThe laws that Baha'u'llah has formulated, however, are fundamental laws, fixed and unalterable during the entire period of His Dispensation. Only the next Manifestation of God can abrogate them. It should be noted that there are certain laws given by Baha'u'llah that are intended for a future condition of society, and these cannot be implemented without the necessary legislation by the Universal House of Justice for their application. Shoghi Effendi writes through his secretary:\nWhat has not been formulated in the Aqdas, in addition to\nmatters of detail and of secondary importance arising out of\nthe application of the laws already formulated by\nBaha'u'llah, will have to be enacted by the Universal House\nof Justice. This body can supplement but never invalidate or\nmodify in the least degree what has already been formulated\nby Baha'u'llah. Nor has the Guardian any right whatsoever\nto lessen the binding effect, much less to abrogate the\nprovisions of so fundamental and sacred a Book.(7) <p283>\nThe Kitab-i-Aqdas has not been translated into any language so far by any Baha'i authority. The reason for this is that a mere translation without making reference to other Tablets would be very misleading indeed. The Universal House of Justice has explained this point in these words:\nThe Kitab-i-Aqdas itself is the kernel of a vast structure of\nBaha'i law that will have to come into being in the years and\ncenturies ahead as the unity of mankind is established and\ndevelops. Thus to properly understand the contents of that\nBook one should also read many other Tablets of\nBaha'u'llah relating to them, as well as the interpretations of\n'Abdu'l-Baha and the Guardian, and realize that great areas\nof detail have been left by Baha'u'llah for the Universal\nHouse of Justice to fill in and to vary in accordance with the\nneeds of a developing society. In addition, a translation of\nthe Kitab-i-Aqdas made without proper comprehensive\nfootnotes referring to those other Tablets which elucidate\nHis laws as well as to the interpretations of the Master and\nthe Guardian can give a very misleading impression--quite\napart from the problem of achieving a beauty of style in the\nEnglish which can approach that of the original.(8)\nIn another instance the Universal House of Justice writes:\nThe Guardian explained that an essential prelude to the\npublication of the Most Holy Book was the preparation of a\nsynopsis and codification of its Laws and Ordinances. This\nwould be followed in due time by a complete translation of\nthe Book itself, made by a competent body of experts, and\ncopiously annotated with detailed explanations. Such\nannotations will undoubtedly have to contain references to\nthe many Tablets of Baha'u'llah which supplement the\nAqdas, to the interpretations penned by 'Abdu'l-Baha as\nwell as those from the writings of Shoghi Effendi, and will\nneed to elucidate certain passages of the Book or to amplify\nits religious, cultural and historical references.\nIt is clear that such a Book, rich in allusion and referring\nto laws and practices of previous Dispensations, could <p284>\neasily be misconstrued by anyone unfamiliar with such laws\nand practices, insufficiently versed in the Teachings of\nBaha'u'llah and not thoroughly informed of His\nfundamental purposes. In particular, inadequate\ntranslations could be seriously misreading. During His own\nlifetime Baha'u'llah commented upon a translation of the\nAqdas made by one of the believers: 'Although the\nintention of the translator was good, such an action in these\ndays will lead to differences and is therefore not\npermissible.'(9)\nIt is some time now since the Universal House of Justice has accomplished the task of the codification of the laws, and has published the book entitled Synopsis and Codification of the Laws and Ordinances of the Kitab-i-Aqdas. This work entailed a great deal of research into the Writings. Those Tablets of Baha'u'llah which supplement the Kitab-i-Aqdas, and the Writings of 'Abdu'l-Baha and Shoghi Effendi which deal with the interpretation of the laws, have been taken into account in the production of this important work. 'This synopsis and codification', the Universal House of Justice states, offers a concise and comprehensive presentation of the laws, ordinances, exhortations and other subjects which appear in both the Kitab-i-Aqdas itself and in the Questions and Answers which forms an appendix to that Book. Not all details are included, nor is it possible to give in such a circumscribed form an impression of the loftiness and magnificence of the language of Baha'u'llah. In order to provide readers with at least some intimation of this splendour of theme and language, there are included as a prelude to the Synopsis and Codification, and in the order in which they appear in the Kitab-i-Aqdas, those passages which have been translated into English by the Guardian of the Faith. It will be the formidable task of future translators to match the beauty and accuracy of Shoghi Effendi's rendition.(10) <p285>\nObedience to the Laws of God\nObservance of the laws of a religion is of the utmost importance; it is an obligation binding on its followers. The enforcement of some of the laws of the Kitab-i-Aqdas began in the ministry of Shoghi Effendi. Knowing that the believers in the cradle of the Faith had been brought up within a society where the significance of religious laws and their implications were understood, he directed the Spiritual Assemblies in that part of the world to begin the enforcement of some of the laws of the Kitab-i-Aqdas within the Baha'i community. In the course of His ministry, he elaborated on the application of these laws, elucidated many intricacies and details connected with them, urged the Spiritual Assemblies never to compromise when enforcing the laws and counselled them to uphold the standards of justice and impartiality in all cases. Thus he built up in this particular field a great reservoir of knowledge and experience which will be of great value in the future.\nPresent-day society in the Western world is not, however, oriented to obedience to religious laws. Not only has it been steadily moving for a long time now towards humanism and materialism, but also the Christian tradition has left the people without a full appreciation of the significance and importance of religious laws within the community. As we have already stated, this is probably because Christ, whose message was primarily directed to the individual, did not give many laws in His Dispensation.\nThe introduction of the laws of the Kitab-i-Aqdas within such a society and at a time when the Faith is still in its infancy has been slow and gradual. Indeed, from the beginning of the Formative Age of the Faith up to the present time, only a few of the Kitab-i-Aqdas have been introduced to the Western world. No doubt in the future as the Cause grows and conditions within human society become more favourable, other laws will be introduced. <p286>\nConcerning the laws of the Kitab-i-Aqdas, Shoghi Effendi has written these words through his secretary:\nHe feels it his duty to explain that the Laws revealed by\nBaha'u'llah in the Aqdas are, whenever practicable and not\nin direct conflict with the Civil Laws of the land, absolutely\nbinding on every believer or Baha'i institution whether in\nthe East or in the West. Certain laws, such as fasting,\nobligatory prayers, the consent of parents before marriage,\navoidance of alcoholic drinks, monogamy, should be\nregarded by all believers as universally and vitally applicable\nat the present time. Others have been formulated in\nanticipation of a state of society, destined to emerge from\nthe chaotic conditions that prevail today.(11)\nThe followers of Baha'u'llah all over the world strive to develop the characteristics of Baha'i life in their individual lives and their communities, by trying to put into practice the teachings of Baha'u'llah and observing those laws and ordinances which are at present binding on them. A true believer carries out the commandments of Baha'u'llah wholeheartedly, for the cornerstone of faith is obedience to the commandments of God as revealed by Baha'u'llah in this age.\nIn order to appreciate this important point, let us study\nnature. As we have already stated,[1] God's creation is one\nentity. The spiritual and physical worlds are closely related to\neach other; they are not two different creations. In one of His\nTablets,(12) Baha'u'llah states that every created thing in this\nphysical world has counterparts in all the worlds of God. It\nfollows that the laws and principles which govern this physical\nlife are equally operative in the spiritual worlds of God. But\nthey are applied on a higher level possessing certain new\nfeatures which are not to be found in the lower kingdom. The\nsame basic laws and principles which operate in nature are also\nto be found in the world of man and in religion. But again they\nare applied on a higher level.\n[1 See vol. 1, pp. 1-3.] <p287>\nTo cite one example: some of the laws which govern the life of a tree are similar to those in the life of man. A tree thrusts its roots into the soil from which it receives its nourishment and upon which it depends for its existence. But the tree itself, its trunk, branches and leaves grow in the opposite direction. As if it dislikes the soil, the tree moves away from it. This is similar to the state of detachment from material things in the world of man when the soul aspires to spiritual things and away from earthly desires. By moving in the opposite direction the tree receives the rays of the sun and as a result it will blossom and bear fruit. Of course, the growth of a tree is involuntary; it is dictated by nature. But supposing the tree had a choice; what a difference it would have made if, feeling an attachment for the soil, it had inclined its branches and leaves towards the earth and buried itself in the ground! Then it would have rotted away and been deprived of the life-giving rays of the sun.\nThe same principle is true of man, for he has to live in this material world and is entirely dependent upon this earth for his existence. His soul, however, ought to become detached from the material world and turn instead towards spiritual things. But unlike the plant, which has no control over its growth and development, man has been given the power to determine his own destiny. He has been given free will and can choose the direction in which he wants to move. If he focuses his attention only on material things and becomes attached to this world and its vanities, pomp and glory, his soul will remain in relative darkness. But if like a tree, he does not direct all his affection towards material things, and reaches a state of detachment from this world[1] and allows his soul to aspire towards heavenly qualities, he could then receive the rays of the Sun of Truth--the Manifestation of God. Then and only then can his soul produce a fruit and give birth to the spirit of faith[2] which <p288> is the ultimate purpose of its creation.\n[1 Much has been said in these volumes on detachment from the Bah\u0087'\u0092 point of view, which is completely opposite to the ideas of renunciation of the world, mendicancy or asceticism.]\n[2 See vol. 1, pp 73-4.]\nThe above example was given merely to demonstrate how the worlds of God, both physical and spiritual, are related by the same laws. It is therefore possible that by studying the laws and principles of the physical world, we may be able to discern a spiritual principle, provided we bear in mind the words and sayings of the Manifestations of God and let their explanations guide us to discover clear parallels between the spiritual and material principles.\nThe Covenant of God with Man\nTo understand the importance of obedience to the laws of God, which is a spiritual principle, let us first examine the relationship of God--the Source of life--to His creatures in this physical world, and then from a spiritual point of view we may come to a conclusion. We note that all living things in this world are subject to the laws of nature. The Creator has so arranged life on this planet that the sun pours its energies upon all created things, the earth supplies the food, and the elements make their contribution. And so, God gives life. This is the part He plays.\nLiving creatures, on the other hand, have to play their part if they are to live. They have to receive the outpourings of energy, but strictly in accordance with the laws that nature has imposed on them. For instance, the fish lives in water, while a bird soars in the air. Both live in accordance with the laws which nature dictates to them. For on this physical level, the reaction of all created things to God's outpourings of energy is involuntary. Each creature is bound by the laws of nature and cannot deviate a hair's breadth from them. But the essential point is that the creatures' response is in harmony with the vivifying forces of life which are released by nature.\nIt is the same spiritually. The response of man to God's Revelation ought to be that of harmony with His Teachings. But man, although physically an animal, is not spiritually <p289> subject to the laws of nature. Instead he is bound by the laws of the Covenant of God with Him. As in every covenant, and as in nature, there are two parties involved here. In the same way that God provides the life-giving energies for the physical world, and the creatures respond to these, the same Creator releases spiritual forces for the development and progress of the soul of man, and the individual must play his part. But unlike the physical world, the response of man to God's bounties is voluntary. Man has free will, whereas other created things are devoid of this faculty.\nThe mere act of creation brings into being the Covenant of God with man which has two sides. God on his part creates man in His own image which is the act of bestowing upon him His attributes. He provides him with his physical needs in this life and sends His Messengers to throw light upon his path so that he may draw near to Him.\nThe part that man has to play in this Covenant is to be conscious of these bounties, to recognize His Manifestation and to abide by His teachings and laws. The most natural course, which can alone bring about harmony between the two sides of the Covenant, is for man to obey the precepts laid down by God. To rebel against them is to live in conflict with the laws of creation and to cut oneself away from the good. To believe in God but to think that this Covenant does not exist and that the Creator has not laid down any laws in the spiritual domains of His creation is tantamount to attributing incompetence to Him.\nThe Covenant of God with man is similar to the terms which a school headmaster lays down for the pupils. The moment a child walks into a school for the first time, he, without knowing it, enters into a covenant with the headmaster. Again, this covenant has two sides. The headmaster provides the child with all his educational needs. He appoints teachers to teach him and draws up the programme. The part that the child has to play is to learn every lesson he is taught and follow every instruction he is given. Only in this way can he acquire <p290> knowledge and become mature with wisdom and understanding. When the child is ready to receive a higher level of education, the headmaster delegates a new teacher to teach him more.\nThe terms of this covenant are drawn up by the headmaster alone, and the child has no say in it. Its author is strong, knowledgeable and wise, but the child, the other party to the covenant, is weak, unlettered and immature. Most arrangements made by the strong for the weak are against the interests of, and are designed to exploit, the latter. But not so in this case, because the motive of the headmaster in drawing up such a contract between himself and the child is pure. His intention is to educate the child and endow him with good qualities and perfections. If the pupil plays his part well and follows the instructions of his master, this covenant becomes the greatest blessing in his life.\nExactly the same is true of God and His Covenant with man. God sends His Messengers to teach humanity from age to age and each one brings a new message suited to the requirements of the time. Similar to the above analogy, this Covenant is also established unilaterally by One Who is the Almighty, the All-Knowing, the All-Wise. It also confers the greatest blessing upon man, for its purpose is to enable him to become a spiritual being and acquire eternal life. To achieve this lofty position, man has to live in accordance with the teachings of the Manifestation of God and obey His commandments.\nAs the moral and spiritual values in life decline today, a great many people all over the world look upon the word 'obedience' with suspicion and fear. They regard this word to be synonymous with dictatorship, blind acceptance, religious fanaticism and all sorts of fettered beliefs. The majority of those who hold this view are among the honest, open-minded and enlightened peoples of the world. Some may belong to religious groups with a liberal outlook, others may be intellectuals, agnostics or atheists. They are fully aware of the <p291> dangers which blind obedience may cause within human society and are weary of any so-called authority, whether religious or secular, which demands obedience to its commands.\nSuch fears are fully justified and those who campaign against the setting up of such an authority and abhor its reign, are worthy of praise and admiration. For, as we survey the religious field, we come across many a 'false prophet' who, for lust of leadership, appears in the guise of a religious leader, posing as a man of holiness, and for his own personal benefit rules over his followers' minds. There are also millions of people, followers of the worlds' major religions, many of whom are fettered in the cage of outdated religious doctrines and antiquated dogmas. During this century, more and more of these people are becoming awakened to their tragedy, breaking the shackles which had been placed on their minds and freeing themselves from this bondage. They either remain lukewarm, disillusioned followers, or join the rank of agnostics and atheists. The voice of religious leadership, which in older days inspired multitudes, is now heard by these people with various degrees of indifference or hostility. The reason for this change is that God has manifested Himself through Baha'u'llah and religious leaders have not recognized Him and in His words they have become as 'fallen stars'.[1] We have already stated[2] that every religion has a certain period of validity during which its teachings are operative. That period comes to an end with the birth of a new religion.\nAs major world religions progressively lose their vitality and effectiveness, religious leaders are losing their grip on the minds of people. Their dictates and edicts, which in older days inspired obedience from their followers, have now become counter-productive. A great many people now rebel against the idea of obedience and they are quite justified in doing so. However, when we study the way of life in human society, we <p292> note that man wholeheartedly obeys any person or institution that speaks with the voice of truth and has authority to do so. The same person who shuns the word 'obedience' blindly obey, instructions issued from certain authorities in his daily life. For example, a man not knowing the way to a city follows blindly the road signs and never questions their authenticity. The reason for this blind obedience is that he accepts the authority of the body which has placed the signposts. The same is true of a patient who unquestionably obeys his doctor's prescription even to the extent of letting him amputate a limb. Again, this is because he has faith in the physician and accepts his advice without any hesitation.\nObedience is a natural step for man to take provided he finds the truth. Baha'u'llah makes this point very clear when He states in the opening paragraph of the Kitab-i-Aqdas:\nThe first duty prescribed by God for His servants is the\nrecognition of Him Who is the Dayspring of His Revelation\nand the Fountain of His laws, Who representeth the\nGodhead in both the Kingdom of His Cause and the world\nof creation. Whoso achieveth this duty hath attained unto\nall good; and whoso is deprived thereof, hath gone astray,\nthough he be the author of every righteous deed. It\nbehoveth every one who reacheth this most sublime station,\nthis summit of transcendent glory, to observe every\nordinance of Him Who is the Desire of the world. These\ntwin duties are inseparable. Neither is acceptable without\nthe other. Thus hath it been decreed by Him Who is the\nSource of Divine inspiration.(13)\nThis is the part that the individual has to play in the Covenant of God with man, namely to recognize Him as the Source of all good and then follow His commandments. In the light of this, we see that Baha'u'llah has attached paramount importance to one of the basic principles of His Faith--the unfettered search after truth by the individual. Every person who becomes a Baha'i must investigate the truth until he <p293> becomes assured in his heart that Baha'u'llah is the Manifestation of God for this age. When the individual reaches this stage, he will then want to follow His commandments. And as he deepens his knowledge of the Faith and turns to Baha'u'llah to draw from His power, his heart will become the recipient of the knowledge which God can bestow upon a believer. It is then that he can realize the wisdom behind all the laws and teachings which are binding on him. It is then that obedience to the commandments of Baha'u'llah becomes coupled with a deep understanding of their purpose, their wisdom, their excellence and their need. It is then that carrying out the teachings of Baha'u'llah becomes a source of joy for the individual, and he will find that his thoughts, his aspirations, his words and his deeds are in harmony with the provisions of the Covenant of God with man. It is for such a person that Baha'u'llah has revealed the following in the Kitab-i-Aqdas:\nO ye peoples of the world! Know assuredly that My\ncommandments are the lamps of My loving providence\namong My servants, and the keys of My mercy for My\ncreatures. Thus hath it been sent down from the heaven of\nthe Will of your Lord, the Lord of Revelation. Were any\nman to taste the sweetness of the words which the lips of the\nAll-Merciful have willed to utter, he would, though the\ntreasures of the earth be in his possession, renounce them\none and all, that he might vindicate the truth of even one of\nHis commandments, shining above the Dayspring of His\nbountiful care and loving-kindness.(14)\nMirza Abu'l-Fadl,[1] the great Baha'i scholar, states that the laws of God in the Holy Books of past religions and those of the Kitab-i-Aqdas may be divided into three categories. The first category is devotional laws and ordinances which govern man's worship of God. The ordinances of obligatory prayer, fasting and similar devotional acts are among this group of laws.\n[1 See pp. 104ff. and Appendix II.]\nThe second category is laws which benefit the individual only, such as cleanliness and other acts which are aimed at elevating the personal and spiritual condition of the individual.\nThe third category is the laws which concern society and these constitute the bulk of the laws of the Kitab-i-Aqdas. These laws, together with the principles ordained by Baha'u'llah in His Writings, constitute the two pillars which sustain the institutions of His future World Order. Shoghi Effendi, speaking about the laws and distinguishing them from the principles of the Faith, states that both together constitute 'the warp and woof of the institutions upon which the structure of His World Order must ultimately rest'.(15)\nIn the light of this we can appreciate the preponderating role which the laws of the Kitab-i-Aqdas will play in the future world civilization of which that Book is a charter. Concerning His laws and ordinances, Baha'u'llah states in the Kitab-i-Aqdas:\nThey whom God hath endued with insight will readily\nrecognize that the precepts laid down by God constitute the\nhighest means for the maintenance of order in the world and\nthe security of its peoples. He that turneth away from them,\nis accounted among the abject and foolish.(16)\nIn the Lawh-i-Maqsud Baha'u'llah further declares:\nThe structure of world stability and order hath been reared\nupon, and will continue to be sustained by, the twin pillars\nof reward and punishment.(17)\nThe application of the laws of Baha'u'llah will involve both reward and punishment. He has also conferred upon the Universal House of Justice the right to legislate on the application of His laws, or to specify punishments for the breaking of other laws which He Himself has not formulated. <p295> Law and order are the basis of peace and security in every civilized society and the breaking of these laws must incur some punishment. The same is true of the laws of the Kitab-i-Aqdas.\nThe guarantor for the establishment in the future of a world community in which the oneness of mankind-- Baha'u'llah's main spiritual principle--is fully realized is justice. The bonds which unite individuals are love, compassion and forbearance, but what binds nations together into a spiritually united world is justice. Baha'u'llah has proclaimed this fact in many of His Writings: 'The best beloved of all things in My sight is Justice'(18) is a simple expression by Baha'u'llah of this important principle. To uphold the standard of justice, He makes this important statement:\nJustice hath a mighty force at its command. It is none other\nthan reward and punishment for the deeds of men. By the\npower of this force the tabernacle of order is established\nthroughout the world...(19)\nIn present-day society, punishment is generally meted out to offenders of the law, but the tendency in many parts of the world is to show compassion and reduce sentences as much as possible. This tendency is growing in direct proportion to humanitarianism. Wrongly, it has almost become a common view today that the individual should not be fully blamed for his criminal actions and that most of the blame ought to be directed towards society. It is claimed that the criminal is merely a victim of circumstances over which he has had little control. And so mercy and pardon instead of justice and punishment are the hallmark of modern civilization. Leniency and compassion in the courts of law, supported by modern theories aimed at forgiveness and clemency have increased the reign of violence in the world to alarming proportions.\nThe teachings of Baha'u'llah advocate the opposite attitude to this. Since the laws of the Kitab-i-Aqdas are the laws of God for this age, they must be obeyed without compromise. In this <p296> Book, Baha'u'llah categorically states that those who apply the law should not show mercy to a criminal, nor become compassionate when punishing him, for if they do, they will undermine the foundations of justice. Many enlightened people today disagree with what Baha'u'llah advocates. They look for mild punishments and plenty of compassion and some advocate education rather than punishment. This is mainly because most people are only concerned with life on this planet and seldom think about life after death, and there are many who do not believe in the latter. The aim of these people is to gain as much, and to lose as little, as they can for as long as they live.\nGenerally, therefore, there is not much concern about the consequences which the actions of a man will have on the progress of his soul in the next life. Whereas it is a cornerstone of Baha'i belief that this world is only a transitory stage in the life of man, preparing him for an eternal life. It is like a womb-world in which he has to acquire the spiritual qualities that are essential requirements for his existence in the spiritual worlds of God.[1] So there is a vast difference between a Baha'i outlook on life and that of humanists. The former strives to use the opportunities of this life to reap a rich harvest in the next, while the latter exerts all efforts to prosper while on this earth. It is these contrasting views that constitute the basis for Baha'u'llah's emphasis on punishment and the humanist view on leniency and compassion.\n[1 For further information on the soul and its progress in the next world see vol. 1, pp. 72-3.]\nFrom a careful study of the Writings of Baha'u'llah one may reach the surprising conclusion that just punishments in general, and those ordained in the Kitab-i-Aqdas in particular, are a mercy of God to man, and a token of His loving-kindness to him. Baha'u'llah in one of His Tablets(20) reveals some of the mysteries of this life and the next, describes how everything in this mortal world has counterparts in the spiritual worlds, and explains that the individual's deeds in this life will affect his <p297> existence in the next. To illustrate the benefits which will accrue to the soul, if he is punished in this world for his misdeeds, He uses the example of a man who steals a seed of a tree from someone in the spring season. If he returns it to its owner in that same season, he has cleared his debt and does not owe him anything else. But if he fails to give it back in the spring, what does he owe him in the summer? He owes him a tree and its fruits, because to give back the seed in the summer is useless. This analogy explains that if the individual pays for his misdeeds in this life by receiving the punishment which is ordained in the Holy Writings, his burden of sin will be far lighter in the next life. Otherwise, who knows how heavily his soul will have to pay if he somehow avoids punishment in this world.\nIn the same Tablet Baha'u'llah states that pure and holy deeds will be manifested in the spiritual worlds of God and transformed into such exalted and glorious forms that if He were to disclose them, every author of such deeds would discard his human temple and joyously hasten to the realms beyond.\nAnyone who has recognized Baha'u'llah as the vicegerent of God on earth and has deepened his understanding of the verities of His Cause, will readily acknowledge that the observance of the laws of Baha'u'llah is the cause of the salvation of the soul. In the Kitab-i-Aqdas Baha'u'llah testifies:\nThink not that We have revealed unto you a mere code of\nlaws. Nay, rather, We have unsealed the choice Wine with\nthe fingers of might and power. To this beareth witness that\nwhich the Pen of Revelation hath revealed. Meditate upon\nthis, O men of insight!(21)\nAnd again in that same Book He states:\nConsider the mercy of God and His gifts. He enjoineth\nupon you that which shall profit you, though He Himself <p298>\ncan well dispense with all creatures. Your evil doings can\nnever harm Us, neither can your good works profit Us. We\nsummon you wholly for the sake of God. To this every man\nof understanding and insight will testify.(22)\nBaha'u'llah's View of Liberty\nAnother topic in the Kitab-i-Aqdas which could be misunderstood by some people is that of freedom and liberty. These are the words of Baha'u'llah in that Book:\nConsider the pettiness of men's minds. They ask for that\nwhich injureth them, and cast away the thing that profiteth\nthem. They are, indeed, of those that are far astray. We find\nsome men desiring liberty, and priding themselves therein.\nSuch men are in the depths of ignorance.\nLiberty must, in the end, lead to sedition, whose flames\nnone can quench. Thus warneth you He Who is the\nReckoner, the All-Knowing. Know ye that the embodiment\nOf liberty and its symbol is the animal. That which\nbeseemeth man is submission unto such restraints as will\nprotect him from his own ignorance and guard him against\nthe harm of the mischief-maker. Liberty causeth man to\noverstep the bounds of propriety, and to infringe on the\ndignity of his station. It debaseth him to the level of extreme\ndepravity and wickedness.\nRegard men as a flock of sheep that need a shepherd for\ntheir protection. This, verily, is the truth, the certain truth.\nWe approve of liberty in certain circumstances, and refuse\nto sanction it in others. We, verily, are the All-Knowing.\nSay: True liberty consisteth in man's submission unto My\ncommandments, little as ye know it. Were men to observe\nthat which We have sent down unto them from the Heaven\nof Revelation, they would, of a certainty, attain unto perfect\nliberty. Happy is the man that hath apprehended the\nPurpose of God in whatever He hath revealed from the\nHeaven of His Will, that pervadeth all created things. Say:\nThe liberty that profiteth you is to be found nowhere except\nin complete servitude unto God, the Eternal Truth. Whoso <p299>\nhath tasted of its sweetness will refuse to barter it for all the\ndominion of earth and heaven.(23)\nBaha'u'llah condemns the idea of absolute liberty for man. Indeed, there is no progressive society or nation In the world in which absolute freedom is allowed. There is the rule of law in every civilized country and people in the exercising of their right to freedom cannot overstep the bounds of constitutional law. There would be anarchy if they were left free to do what they liked. In the words of Baha'u'llah, it would 'lead to sedition, whose flame none can quench'. All the freedom-loving nations of the world enjoy their freedom within the limits of the law and other conventions which have come about through tradition and have become accepted as a way of life. It is these laws and traditions, including religion and culture, which give each nation a certain characteristic, and produce an atmosphere in which people live and exercise their lawful rights freely.\nBaha'u'llah advocates the same, except that man must adopt the teachings of the Manifestation of God for this age to guide and direct him in his life. He will then find ample scope to live in liberty within the framework of His laws and teachings. It is possible that some people who have not accepted the Message of Baha'u'llah could argue that although humanity needs to be guided by some laws and principles, nevertheless, the mere act of adopting Baha'u'llah's teachings as guide-lines for society would be an infringement on liberty. This view would be correct if Baha'u'llah were not the Manifestation of God for this age. But if He is, then His laws and teachings must, and will in the end, be enforced by humanity, and will guide the peoples of the world to exercise their freedom within the framework of the World Order He has come to establish. The essential point, therefore, is to investigate the truth of the claims of Baha'u'llah. Once the individual is assured of the authenticity of His Message, he will joyously allow the teachings and commandments of Baha'u'llah to govern his life. <p300> It is then that guided by the principles of the Faith he will be able to develop with absolute freedom all that is potential within him and attain to true liberty.\nThe Infallibility of the Manifestation\nIn the Kitab-i-Aqdas Baha'u'llah declares the doctrine of the Most Great Infallibility of the Manifestations of God, and states that no one else can ever possess it. We have touched upon this subject in the previous volume.[1] This infallibility is an inherent characteristic of the Manifestations of God, in the same way that light and heat are inherent to the sun. He derives His powers from God and is the knower of all things. His knowledge extends over past, present and future. As we have stated previously,[2] the reason that His all-encompassing power is hidden behind the veil of His human temple is that if His glory were to be openly revealed to the eyes of men in general, all human beings would instantly recognize Him. And by so doing they would lose their free will and become puppets of God.\nHowever, Baha'u'llah always revealed a measure of His hidden glory and omnipotence to those of His loved ones who had recognized His exalted station and were in need of further confirmation of their faith. There are many stories left to posterity by the early believers who had the great privilege of attaining the presence of Baha'u'llah, relating how they witnessed the signs of His all-encompassing knowledge which was disclosed to their eyes in accordance with their capacity. The incidents which took place in each case came to them as thunderbolts and dazzled them by the evidences of His glory. Each time He disclosed a measure of His Divine power, the believer concerned reached the highest peaks of assurance and acquired absolute certitude in his faith. When this stage was reached the individual was no longer an ordinary human <p301> being. He had been transformed into a spiritual giant, a mountain of steadfastness, a new creation possessed of all the powers of this universe, a heroic soul who in spite of the fierce onslaught of the enemy threw himself into the arena of service to the Cause of Baha'u'llah and, considering this earthly life as a worthless existence, longed to lay down his life in the path of His Beloved.\nMany believers who attained the presence of Baha'u'llah have witnessed the signs of His all-encompassing knowledge and left for posterity some of their experiences. To cite some examples we quote the following:\nHaji Muhammad-Tahir-i-Malmiri, who attained the presence of Baha'u'llah in 'Akka writes in his memoirs:\nWhenever I came into the presence of the Blessed Beauty, if\nthere were anything I wanted to ask, I would say it by the\nway of the heart, and He would invariably answer me. This\nis because, in His presence, the tongue was powerless to\nutter one word. I always sat in His presence spellbound,\noblivious of my own self. One of the questions I wanted to\nask concerned the station of the Holy Imams.[1] I wanted to\nknow whether they were equal or, as I thought, some of\nthem were exalted above others. For about six months I\nwanted to ask this question, but every time I attained His\npresence I forgot to think of it in my heart. One day, as I was\ngoing to the Mansion to attain His presence, I kept on\ncontinuously reminding myself about this question so that I\nmight remember to communicate it through the heart to\nBaha'u'llah. Even as I was climbing the steps of the Mansion\nI was thinking of it. Suddenly I heard the voice of\nBaha'u'llah greeting me saying 'Marhaba' (Welcome). I\nlooked up and saw Him standing at the top of the stairs. I\nforgot everything! He went to His room, invited me in, and\ntold me to be seated. I sat by the door. He then paced up and <p302>\ndown and revealed a Tablet[2] in my name. The Tablet was\nin Persian and halfway through it he said, 'The Imams all\ncame from God, spoke of God and all returned to Him.'[3]\nThis answered my question and I realized that their station\nwas equal.(24)\n[1 'Ali, the son-in-law of Muhammad, was according to Baha'i belief the legitimate successor of Muhammad, and the first Imam. Ten of his descendants succeeded him and are known as the holy Imams. The Qa'im is believed by Shi'ah Islam to be the return of the twelfth Imam.]\n[2 This Tablet was not recorded and therefore no copy exists.]\n[3 These are not the exact words of Baha'u'llah.]\nIn another instance, Haji Muhammad-Tahir writes:\nIn my heart I often begged the Blessed Beauty to enable me\nto lay down my life as a martyr in His path. Every time that I\nturned to Him in my heart with this plea, he would smile at\nme and reveal to me the signs of His pleasure and bounties\n... until one day when these thoughts entered my mind, he\nturned to me and said, 'You must live to serve the Cause\n...'(25)\nAnother believer who attained the presence of Baha'u'llah in 'Akka was Aqa Riday-i-Sa'adati, a native of Yazd. In his youth Aqa Rida was a devout Muslim. He had a passionate love for God and His Prophet Muhammad. But he was not satisfied with the form of religion. His greatest ambition was to meet Imam Husayn, one of the illustrious successors of the Prophet, face to face. Driven by a mysterious force, Aqa Rida went almost out of his mind for some time and his parents were at a loss to discover the cause. Until one day he came in contact with a follower of Baha'u'llah who told him that God had manifested Himself, that Baha'u'llah was the return of the Imam Husayn[1] and that he could go and attain His presence in 'Akka. Through the help of some of the believers and the reading of the Kitab-i-Iqan, Aqa Rida recognized the truth of the Cause. But he could not disclose his Faith to his parents. In his memoirs he writes:\n[1 Shi'ah Islam expects the appearance of the Qa'im followed by the return of Imam Husayn. Baha'u'llah's name was Husayn-'Ali.]\nThey (the Baha'is) introduced me to a well known Baha'i, <p303>\nUstad Kazim, a builder of wide repute. He used to read the\nKitab-i-Iqan for me... Through the study of this book, I\nacquired certitude and assurance and became filled with joy\nand excitement. Sometimes I used to leave the house with\nthe excuse of going to bring water[1]... I would carry the\npitcher with me but instead of going directly to the public\ncistern which was about four kilometres away, I used to run\nall the way to the house of Ustad Kazim, read some passages\nfrom the Kitab-i-Iqan and then go to fetch water home.(26)\n[1 In Yazd people used to carry drinking water from a public cistern to their homes. Each district in the city had a public cistern.]\nAqa Rida eventually left Yazd for 'Ishqabad and from there he received permission to go on pilgrimage to 'Akka where he attained the presence of Baha'u'llah. He writes in his memoirs:\nEvery time I attained His presence, I would find the portals\nof His grace and revelation open before my eyes. Each of\nthem was a mighty proof and a precious gift. All those\nsupernatural acts that I witnessed in His blessed presence\nand the immense joy which flooded my soul as I sat before\nHim are indescribable and cannot be recorded here... In\nthe gatherings of the friends, if the Blessed Beauty turned\nhis face to a person, that individual was unable to gaze upon\nHis countenance and see the effulgent rays of the Sun of\nTruth. It was therefore Baha'u'llah's practice to look to the\nright side as He spoke, so that the friends might find it easier\nto look at His face. And if He ever turned His face towards\nthe friends, He would close His eyes and speak...\nOnce I entered into the presence of Baha'u'llah at a time\nthat He was reciting the verses of the Tablet of Visitation of\nImam Husayn.[1] At times, He would interrupt and utter\nsome words, or receive the friends as they arrived. Eventually\nthe number reached about forty-five. At this time\nI began to think of the friends in 'Ishqabad... I decided to\nremember them in His presence and dedicate my pilgrimage\nto them. I thought of Mirza Abu'l-Fadl and five others... <p304>\nAs soon as I remembered them, He promptly turned His\nface towards me and smiled. He then mentioned the names\nof Mirza Abu'l-Fadl and the other five and said to me: Your\nremembrance of these people and your pilgrimage on their\nbehalf is accepted by us, accepted by us. He repeated it\ntwice. And so He revealed everything that was in my heart.\n[1 Baha'u'llah revealed a Tablet of Visitation for Imam Husayn which is very moving.]\nI was staggered by this revelation. My sight became\nblurred and I was close to collapsing. As soon as He saw me\nin this state, he ordered His servant[1] to bring in some\nsweetmeats. He brought a plateful and placed it in front of\nBaha'u'llah who handed one sweet to each person. But to\nme He gave two. After this we were all dismissed from His\npresence. But I was so overwhelmed by this experience that\nwhen I left I was not in control of my faculties and halfway\ndown the steps I collapsed...(27)\n[1 Mirza Aqa Jan, Baha'u'llah's amanuensis, acted as His servant. Baha'u'llah usually called him 'Abd-i-Hadir (Servant in Waiting).]\nAnother story recounted by Siyyid Mihdy-i-Gulpaygani, an outstanding believer and a nephew of Mirza Abu'l-Fadl, reveals the same truth that Baha'u'llah, the Supreme Manifestation of God, was the knower of all things visible and invisible. He used to tell this story to the believers in 'Ishqabad:\nAn influential person became a Baha'i in Isfahan but he did\nnot live a good life. He went to 'Akka and attained the\npresence of Baha'u'llah and this is his story: 'On the first\nday of my attaining the presence of the Blessed Beauty, I\nwas among a number of pilgrims who were standing in His\npresence He was pacing up and down speaking words of\nexhortation and encouragement. I was in a state of\nenchantment as I watched the majesty of His bearing. I said\nto myself: I know that the Blessed Perfection is the Supreme\nManifestation of God and the Promise of all ages. But in\nsome of His writings He describes Himself as the One who\nhas sent all the Messengers of God and the revealer of all\nheavenly books. I did not understand this. As soon as this\nthought flashed through my mind, the Blessed Perfection <p305>\ncame toward me, placed His hand on my shoulder, and in a\nmajestic tone said \"Yes, We are the One who has sent the\nMessengers and revealed all the heavenly Books.\"[1] I was\nawestruck.(28)\n[1 These are not to be taken as the exact words of Baha'u'llah.]\nIn previous volumes, a great deal has been said concerning the exalted station of Baha'u'llah.[1] There are many passages in the Kitab-i-Aqdas on this theme. He states that the word Prophet[2] or Messenger should not be used to describe His station. He is the Supreme Manifestation of God who has fulfilled the prophecies of the past and ushered in the Day of God. These are the words of Baha'u'llah in the Kitab-i-Aqdas:\n[1 See vol. 1, pp. 303-14; vol. 2, pp. 77-86, 185, 213.]\n[2 An important mission of the Manifestations of God in the past was to give prophecies of the coming of the Day of God. The last one to do so was the Prophet Muhammad, known as the 'Seal of the Prophets'. See also vol. 1, p. 66.]\nThis is the Day in which He Who held converse with God\nhath attained the light of the Ancient of Days, and quaffed\nthe pure waters of reunion from this Cup that hath caused\nthe seas to swell. Say: By the one true God! Sinai is circling\nround the Dayspring of Revelation, while from the heights\nof the Kingdom the Voice of the Spirit of God is heard\nproclaiming: 'Bestir yourselves, ye proud ones of the earth,\nand haste ye unto Him.' Carmel Lath, in this Day, hastened\nIn longing adoration to attain His court, whilst from the\nheart of Zion there cometh the cry: 'The promise is fulfilled.\nThat which had been announced in the holy Writ of God,\nthe most Exalted, the Almighty, the Best-Beloved, is made\nmanifest.'(29)\n'He who held converse with God' and the 'Spirit of God' in the above passage signify Moses and Christ respectively.\nThere are several passages from the Writings of the Bab which are quoted by Baha'u'llah in the Kitab-i-Aqdas as a testimony to the exalted nature of His own Revelation. He points out that <p306> some of these passages clearly demonstrate that the Cause of 'Him Whom God shall make manifest'[1] will become established in the world before that of the Bab Himself. Baha'u'llah in this Book also clarifies one of the utterances of the Bab which had caused misunderstanding among the people of the Bayan, those followers of the Bab who had rejected Baha'u'llah. In a Tablet(30) addressed to 'Him Whom God shall make manifest', the Bab states: 'May the glances of Him Whom God shall make manifest illumine this letter at the primary school.'\nSome of the Babis argued that since this Tablet would have to be handed to 'Him Whom God shall make manifest' at the primary school, it followed that He would be a child when He received it. They therefore contended that since Baha'u'llah was even older than the Bab, He could not possibly fulfil the promises of the Bab. 'Abdu'l-Baha in one of His Tablets(31) states that the school referred to is not a physical school. The school of 'Him Whom God shall make manifest' is not the school of the unlettered children. It is a spiritual school which is far beyond the reach of men and it is sanctified from the limitations of this contingent world. Baha'u'llah states that He had seen this Epistle, this gift of the Bab, in the School of God which is exalted above the comprehension of men.\nConcerning the Tablet of the Bab and the school, Baha'u'llah reveals the following in the Kitab-i-Aqdas:\nO Thou Supreme Pen! Move over the Tablet by the leave of\nThy Lord, the Creator of the heavens. Call Thou then to\nmind the day when the Fountainhead of divine unity sought\nto attend the school which is sanctified of all save God, that\nperchance the righteous might become acquainted, to the\nextent of a needle's eye, with that which is concealed behind\nthe veil of the inner mysteries of Thy Lord, the Almighty,\nthe All-Knowing.\nSay, We, in truth, entered the school of inner meaning\nand exposition at a time when the minds of all that dwell on\nearth were wrapt in heedlessness. We beheld what the <p307>\nMerciful Lord had revealed, accepted the gift He [the Bab]\nhad offered Me of the verses of God, the Help in Peril, the\nSelf-Subsisting, and hearkened to that to which He had\nattested in the Tablet. We, verily, are the Witness. We\nresponded to His call at Our Own behest, and We are, in\ntruth, the Ordainer.\nO people of the Bayan! We entered the School of God\nwhen ye were slumbering on your couches, and perused the\nTablet when ye were fast asleep. By the righteousness of\nGod, the True One, We had read it before it was revealed,\nand ye were utterly unaware. Indeed Our knowledge had\nencompassed the Book when ye were yet unborn.\nThese utterances are revealed according to your measure,\nnot to God's, and unto this beareth witness that which is\nenshrined in the knowledge of God, did ye but know. Unto\nthis testifieth He Who is the Mouthpiece of God, could ye\nbut understand. By the righteousness of God! Were We to\nlift the veil ye would swoon away. Take heed lest ye dispute\nwith Him and His Cause. He hath indeed appeared in such\nwise as to encompass all things, whether of the past or of the\nfuture. Were We to speak forth at this time in the language\nof the dwellers of the Kingdom, We would say that God\nraised up this School ere the earth and the heavens were\nbrought into being, and We entered it before the letters 'B'\nand 'E' were joined and knit together.[1](32)\n[1 For the significance of the letter 'B' and 'E' see vol. 1, p. 30. (A.T.)]\nIt is interesting to note, however, that when Baha'u'llah was resident in 'Iraq, He visited a school and while He was there, 'Abdu'l-Baha came in and handed Him this Epistle of the Bab. 'Abdu'l-Baha explains that this was not done by design but happened purely by accident. <p308>\n2. A New World Order\nIn the Kitab-i-Aqdas, Baha'u'llah refers to a new World Order which may be regarded as one of the fruits of His Revelation. The Bab in the Persian Bayan has revealed the following: 'Well is it with him who fixeth his gaze upon the order of Baha'u'llah and rendereth thanks unto his Lord! For He will assuredly be made manifest.' And these are the words of Baha'u'llah in the Kitab-i-Aqdas:\nThe world's equilibrium hath been upset through the\nvibrating influence of this most great, this new World\nOrder. Mankind's ordered life hath been revolutionized\nthrough the agency of this unique, this wondrous System--\nthe like of which mortal eyes have never witnessed.(1)\nIt was difficult to discern the upheaval in the life of man in 1873 when Baha'u'llah revealed these words. But today, a little over a hundred years later, it is evident that 'mankind's ordered life hath been revolutionized'. Describing the decline in the fortunes of humanity, Shoghi Effendi writes:\nBeset on every side by the cumulative evidences of\ndisintegration, of turmoil and of bankruptcy, serious-minded\nmen and women, in almost every walk of life, are\nbeginning to doubt whether society, as it is now organized\ncan, through its unaided efforts, extricate itself from the\nslough into which it is steadily sinking. Every system, short\nof the unification of the human race, has been tried,\nrepeatedly tried, and been found wanting. Wars again and <p309>\nagain have been fought, and conferences without number\nhave met and deliberated. Treaties, pacts and covenants\nhave been painstakingly negotiated, concluded and revised.\nSystems of government have been patiently tested, have\nbeen continually recast and superseded. Economic plans\nof reconstruction have been carefully devised, and\nmeticulously executed. And yet crisis has succeeded crisis,\nand the rapidity with which a perilously unstable world is\ndeclining has been correspondingly accelerated. A yawning\ngulf threatens to involve in one common disaster both the\nsatisfied and dissatisfied nations, democracies and dictatorships,\ncapitalists and wage-earners, Europeans and Asiatics,\nJew and Gentile, white and coloured. An angry Providence,\nthe cynic might well observe, has abandoned a hapless\nplanet to its fate, and fixed irrevocably its doom. Sore-tried\nand disillusioned, humanity has no doubt lost its\norientation, and would seem to have lost as well its faith and\nhope. It is hovering, unshepherded and visionless, on the\nbrink of disaster. A sense of fatality seems to pervade it. An\never-deepening gloom is settling on its fortunes as she\nrecedes further and further from the outer fringes of the\ndarkest zone of its agitated life and penetrates its very heart.(2)\nThe gloom described almost fifty years ago by Shoghi Effendi has deepened even further, and today the world is moving dangerously and at an alarming speed towards the brink of a catastrophe. But, alas, the generality of mankind, its leaders, its intellectuals, its seers and philosophers, have not as yet discovered the real cause for such a revolution in the life of man on this planet. Baha'u'llah describes the reason in these words:\nA new life is, in this age, stirring within all the peoples of the\nearth; and yet none hath discovered its cause, or perceived\nits motive.(3)\nTo appreciate the reason for the turmoil of this age, the breaking up of the old order and the derangement of the <p310> world's equilibrium, we could do no better than to turn to nature and learn from its laws. Because the laws of nature and those of religion, as we have already stated, are closely linked together. Whatever happens in nature is a reflection of something spiritual.\nLet us examine, for example, the principle of the conception of a new life and the growth of the embryo. We may study the condition of an egg before and after it is fertilized. Before the conception of the new life, the egg is in its normal state and contains good food. But when the new life begins to grow within it, the condition inside changes radically. The food turns bad and becomes corrupted. Yet the new life lives within this corrupted matter and feeds on it. At first this change is not obvious. But as the new life grows, the condition inside becomes more unstable. And there comes a time when the egg cannot remain whole anymore. Eventually, it breaks open; the young creature is born and the egg is reduced to a broken shell.\nExactly the same is happening in the world of humanity today. For thousands of years mankind's progress was very slow and limited, and few changes took place in the life of nations. One might say that before the coming of Baha'u'llah the peoples of the world had lived their lives in peace and tranquillity, compared to what came afterwards.\nBut over a hundred years ago when Baha'u'llah declared His mission, He sowed the seed of a new community in human society. At that moment a new life was conceived and the world has never been the same since--it has been revolutionized. With the coming of Baha'u'llah, as the process of growth and development of the embryonic institutions of His Faith was set in motion, so was the process of the extinction of the old order. The new world community is now growing within the womb of the old. The more it grows and becomes lively, the more will human society be plunged into the abyss of darkness and corruption. Its condition will continue to deteriorate until, as prophesied by Baha'u'llah over a hundred years ago, it will disintegrate like the egg in the <p311> above example. These are the words of Baha'u'llah written all those years ago, describing in clear terms the tormenting ordeals which humanity must experience at the time of the breaking up of the old order:\nThe world is in travail and its agitation waxeth day by day.\nIts face is turned towards waywardness and unbelief. Such\nshall be its plight that to disclose it now would not be meet\nand seemly. Its perversity will long continue. And when the\nappointed hour is come, there shall suddenly appear that\nwhich shall cause the limbs of mankind to quake. Then and\nonly then will the Divine Standard be unfurled and the\nNightingale of Paradise warble its melody.(4)\nIn another instance, Baha'u'llah writes:\nAfter a time, all the governments on earth will change.\nOppression will envelop the world. And following a\nuniversal convulsion, the sun of justice will rise from the\nhorizon of the unseen realm.(5)\nShoghi Effendi describes the conception of the institutions of the Faith within the womb of human society in these words:\nResplendent as has been the Age that has witnessed the\ninception of the Mission with which Baha'u'llah has been\nentrusted, the interval which must elapse ere that Age yields\nits choicest fruit must, it is becoming increasingly apparent\nbe overshadowed by such moral and social gloom as can\nalone prepare an unrepentant humanity for the prize she is\ndestined to inherit.\nInto such a period we are now steadily and irresistibly\nmoving. Amidst the shadows which are increasingly\ngathering about us we can faintly discern the glimmerings of\nBaha'u'llah's unearthly sovereignty appearing fitfully on\nthe horizon of history...\nDeep as is the gloom that already encircles the world, the\nafflictive ordeals which that world is to suffer are still in\npreparation, nor can their blackness be as yet imagined. We <p312>\nstand on the threshold of an age whose convulsions\nproclaim alike the death-pangs of the old order and the\nbirth-pangs of the new. Through the generating influence of\nthe Faith announced by Baha'u'llah this New World Order\nmay be said to have been conceived. We can, at the present\nmoment, experience its stirrings in the womb of a travailing\nage--an age waiting for the appointed hour at which it can\ncast its burden and yield its fairest fruit.\n'The whole earth,' writes Baha'u'llah, 'is now in a state of\npregnancy. The day is approaching when it will have\nyielded its noblest fruits, when from it will have sprung\nforth the loftiest trees, the most enchanting blossoms, the\nmost heavenly blessings. Immeasurably exalted is the\nbreeze that wafteth from the garment of thy Lord, the\nGlorified! For lo, it hath breathed its fragrance and made all\nthings new! Well is it with them that comprehend...'\n'The Call of God,' 'Abdu'l-Baha has written, 'when\nraised, breathed a new life into the body of mankind, and\ninfused a new spirit into the whole creation. It is for this\nreason that the world hath been moved to its depths, and the\nhearts and consciences of men been quickened. Erelong the\nevidences of this regeneration will be revealed, and the fast\nasleep will be awakened.'(6)\nAlthough the immediate future is very dark and perilous, the outcome--the emergence of the Community of the Most Great Name--is glorious indeed. At present, the majority of the peoples of the world are either unaware of the existence of the embryonic institutions of the Faith, or cannot fully appreciate the tremendous potentialities which are latent within these institutions. They cannot fully understand their purpose and the role they are destined to play, in the fullness of time, by assuming their full share in the act of government of mankind.\nThe reason for this ignorance is, that although the Faith of Baha'u'llah is being increasingly proclaimed to humanity, the institutions of the Faith have not yet fully evolved to the point of being, noticed by the people. In the passage quoted on page <p313> 311, Baha'u'llah prophesies that the exaltation of His Cause will take place only after dire tribulations and calamities have afflicted humanity. He states:\nAnd when the appointed hour is come, there shall suddenly\nappear that which shall cause the limbs of mankind to\nquake. Then and only then will the Divine Standard be\nunfurled and the Nightingale of Paradise warble its melody.\nThis prophecy has not yet been fulfilled. In the terms of the above analogy, the egg has not yet broken to cast its burden. The old order is still lingering on its death bed and the hour of the birth of the new has not yet struck.\nThe position of the Baha'i community today is similar to the position of a gardener who claims to have a most beautiful garden full of flowers and trees. But when the enquirer visits the garden he sees no sign of vegetation whatsoever. All that the gardener can do is to point to the seeds that he has sown and explain that the plants will emerge in time.\nOnly when the pangs of the birth of the new order of Baha'u'llah have been experienced and the embryonic institutions of His Faith have emerged, will the peoples of the world take notice of them and become aware of their potentialities. This emergence, closely linked with the rolling up of the old order, is only the beginning and must not be confused with that day of days in the distant future when Baha'u'llah's World Order will be established throughout the planet. The emergence of the embryonic institutions of the Faith is similar to the birth of a child. A newly born infant cannot use his limbs and organs effectively. A long time must elapse before it can reach the state of maturity and manhood. The emergence of the Baha'i community from obscurity and the evolution of its institutions are therefore different from the emergence, in the distant future, of the World Order of Baha'u'llah.\nIndeed, the rolling up of the present-day order and the trembling which, according to Baha'u'llah's pronouncement, <p314> must seize the limbs of mankind will, on the one hand, pave the way for the establishment of the Lesser Peace,[1] and on the other, witness the evolution of the Baha'i national and local institutions of the Faith.\n[1 See pp. 125ff.]\nThe blessings which the Lesser Peace will confer upon humanity will enable it to produce a new political structure freeing humanity from the curse of war. The social and humanitarian teachings and principles of Baha'u'llah which have already become the spirit of the age and which are being pursued by the enlightened peoples of the world will become incorporated in this political structure. Without being conscious of their origin, mankind will increasingly adopt these social teachings in every aspect of its life. These principles include the establishment of a world federated system, a world commonwealth, a world legislature, a world government backed by an international force, a world language, and other institutions as enunciated by Baha'u'llah in His teachings. The energies released by the Revelation of Baha'u'llah over a hundred years ago will to an increasing degree so penetrate within human society as to leave no other option for humanity but to incorporate such teachings as the equality of the sexes, compulsory education, the abolition of extremes of poverty and wealth and similar ones in all its Institutions. This is already evidenced by the application of these Baha'i principles within many progressive movements in the world.\nThis new form of government must emerge from amidst the ruins of a doomed and dilapidated present-day order, and govern humanity until such time as the nascent institutions of the Faith of Baha'u'llah will have attained their state of maturity. It is then that the Baha'i World Order will be established in its great glory and this vision of Shoghi Effendi stretching far into the future will be realized.\nTo the general character, the implications and features of <p315>\nthis world commonwealth, destined to emerge, sooner or\nlater, out of the carnage, agony, and havoc of this great\nworld convulsion, I have already referred in my previous\ncommunications. Suffice it to say that this consummation\nwill, by its very nature, be a gradual process, and must, as\nBaha'u'llah has Himself anticipated, lead at first to the\nestablishment of that Lesser Peace which the nations of the\nearth, as yet unconscious of His Revelation and yet\nunwittingly enforcing the general principles which He has\nenunciated, will themselves establish. This momentous and\nhistoric step, involving the reconstruction of mankind, as\nthe result of the universal recognition of its oneness and\nwholeness, will bring in its wake the spiritualization of the\nmasses, consequent to the recognition of the character, and\nthe acknowledgement of the claims, of the Faith of\nBaha'u'llah--the essential condition to that ultimate fusion\nof all races, creeds, classes and nations which must signalize\nthe emergence of His New World Order.\nThen will the coming of age of the entire human race be\nproclaimed and celebrated by all the peoples and nations of\nthe earth. Then will the banner of the Most Great Peace be\nhoisted. Then will the world-wide sovereignty of\nBaha'u'llah--the Establisher of the Kingdom of the Father\nforetold by the Son, and anticipated by the Prophets of God\nbefore Him and after Him--be recognized, acclaimed, and\nfirmly established. Then will a world civilization be born,\nflourish, and perpetuate itself, a civilization with a fullness\nof life such as the world has never seen nor can as yet\nconceive. Then will the Everlasting Covenant be fulfilled in\nits completeness. Then will the promise enshrined in all the\nBooks of God be redeemed, and all the prophecies uttered\nby the Prophets of old come to pass, and the vision of seers\nand poets be realized. Then will the planet, galvanized\nthrough the universal belief of its dwellers in one God, and\ntheir allegiance to one common Revelation, mirror, within\nthe limitations imposed upon it, the effulgent glories of the\nsovereignty of Baha'u'llah, shining in the Plenitude of its\nsplendour in the Abha Paradise, and be made the footstool\nof His Throne on high, and acclaimed as the earthly heaven, <p316>\ncapable of fulfilling that ineffable destiny fixed for it, from\ntime immemorial, by the love and wisdom of its Creator.(7)\nThe Baha'i Administrative Order\nThe Local and the Universal Houses of Justice, the basic institutions of the Faith, were ordained by Baha'u'llah. These are His words in the Kitab-i-Aqdas concerning the institution of the Local House of Justice:\nThe Lord hath ordained that in every city a House of Justice\nbe established wherein shall gather counsellors to the\nnumber of Baha,[1] and should it exceed this number it does\nnot matter... It behoveth them to be the trusted ones of the\nMerciful among men and to regard themselves as the\nguardians appointed of God for all that dwell on earth. It is\nincumbent upon them to take counsel together and to have\nregard for the interests of the servants of God, for His sake,\neven as they regard their own interests, and to choose that\nwhich is meet and seemly. Thus hath the Lord your God\ncommanded you. Beware lest ye put away that which is\nclearly revealed in His Tablet. Fear God, O ye that\nperceive.(8)\n[1 The numerical value of the word 'Baha' in Arabic is nine. (A.T.)]\nLocal Houses of Justice are already established all over the world in many cities and villages in their embryonic form known as Local Spiritual Assemblies. The growth and development of the Faith and its institutions follow the same pattern as any created thing which has an organic growth. Therefore, in the future, these bodies will be transformed into Houses of Justice as an infant is into an adult, and the passage of time will be needed to bring this about.\nPresent-day Local Spiritual Assemblies are instituted in localities where there are nine or more adult believers resident. These bodies are elected annually by every adult member of the Baha'i community, and are charged with the responsibility <p317> of directing the affairs of the community in accordance with certain principles laid down in the Writings of the Faith. Baha'i elections, carried out in a prayerful attitude, are spiritual in nature, and vastly different from any system in existence today.[1] So is Baha'i consultation which, as described in a previous chapter,[2] is designed to take place in an atmosphere of love and unity.\n[1 For more information see Principles of Baha'i Administration.]\nOne of the unique features of the Dispensation of Baha'u'llah is that He has attached great importance to consultation in every sphere of human activity. Baha'i communities and institutions, whether local, national or international, function through Baha'i consultation. These bodies not only consult on community affairs, but are empowered also to deal with personal matters affecting the lives of individual believers. However, Baha'u'llah has not limited consultation to the institutions of His Faith. He has stressed the importance of consultation on personal matters with friends and experts. These are some of the words of Baha'u'llah gleaned from His Writings on this subject:\nThe Great Being saith: The heaven of divine wisdom is\nillumined with the two luminaries of consultation and\ncompassion. Take ye counsel together in all matters,\ninasmuch as consultation is the lamp of guidance which\nleadeth the way, and is the bestower of understanding.(9)\nConsultation bestoweth greater awareness and transmuteth\nconjecture into certitude. It is a shining light which, in a\ndark world, leadeth the way and guideth. For everything\nthere is and will continue to be a station of perfection and\nmaturity. The maturity of the gift of understanding is made\nmanifest through consultation.(10)\nIn all things it is necessary to consult. This matter should be\nforcibly stressed by thee, so that consultation may be <p318>\nobserved by all. The intent of what hath been revealed from\nthe Pen of the Most High is that consultation may be fully\ncarried out among the friends, inasmuch as it is and will\nalways be a cause of awareness and of awakening and a\nsource of good and well-being.(11)\n'Abdu'l-Baha too has written a great deal on this subject. These are only two passages out of many:\nSettle all things, both great and small, by consultation.\nWithout prior consultation, take no important step in your\nown personal affairs. Concern yourselves with one another.\nHelp along one another's projects and plans. Grieve over\none another. Let none in the whole country go in need.\nbefriend one another until ye become as a single body, one\nand all...(12)\nThe purpose of consultation is to show that the views of\nseveral individuals are assuredly preferable to one man, even\nas the power of a number of men is of course greater than the\npower of one man. Thus consultation is acceptable in the\npresence of the Almighty, and hath been enjoined upon the\nbelievers, so that they may confer upon ordinary and\npersonal matters, as well as on affairs which are general in\nnature and universal.\nFor instance, when a man hath a project to accomplish,\nshould he consult with some of his 6rethren, that which is\nagreeable will of course be investigated and unveiled to his\neyes, and the truth will be disclosed. Likewise on a higher\nlevel, should the people of a village consult one another\nabout their affairs, the right solution will certainly be\nrevealed. In like manner, the members of each profession,\nsuch as in industry, should consult, and those in commerce\nshould similarly consult on business affairs. In short,\nconsultation is desirable and acceptable in all things and on\nall issues.(13)\nLocal Spiritual Assemblies are the bed-rock upon which the National Spiritual Assemblies, designated by 'Abdu'l-Baha as <p319> 'Secondary Houses of Justice', are established. These national bodies are today instituted in most countries of the world and are empowered to 'direct, unify, coordinate and stimulate the activities of the individuals as well as local Assemblies within their jurisdiction'.(14) Their members are also given the responsibility of electing The Universal House of Justice, the Supreme Body of the Faith of Baha'u'llah and regarded as the apex of the Baha'i Administrative Order. This august institution, which was elected for the first time in 1963, is ordained by Baha'u'llah with the assurance of divine guidance. He has conferred infallibility upon its decisions and given it the authority to enact laws which are not specifically revealed by Him.\nIn the Ishraqat (Splendours) revealed in the latter part of Baha'u'llah's life He declares:\nThis passage, now written by the pen of Glory, is accounted\nas part of the Most Holy Book: The men of God's House of\nJustice have been charged with the affairs of the people.\nThey, in truth, are the Trustees of God among His servants\nand the daysprings of authority in His countries.\nO people of God! That which traineth the world is\nJustice, for it is upheld by two pillars, reward and\npunishment. These two pillars are the sources of life to the\nworld. Inasmuch as for each day there is a new problem and\nfor every problem an expedient solution, such affairs should\nbe referred to the House of Justice that the members thereof\nmay act according to the needs and requirements of the\ntime. They that, for the sake of God, arise to serve His\nCause, are the recipients of divine inspiration from the\nunseen Kingdom. It is incumbent upon all to be obedient\nunto them. All matters of State should be referred to the\nHouse of Justice, but acts of worship must be observed\naccording to that which God hath revealed in His Book.(15)\nOne of the basic differences between the institutions of the old order and those of the Administrative Order of Baha'u'llah is that the latter are animated by the spirit of the Cause of God, <p320> whereas the former are as bodies without spirit. The divinely-founded order is alive and growing; the old order is disintegrating and its ability to solve the problems of the world is constantly declining. A man-made institution, to carry out its tasks successfully, must function with vigour and health Should any of its members fail in the conduct of affairs, the work of the whole system may well become ineffective. It may be likened to a machine which cannot operate unless all its component parts function efficiently, for the failure of one part can paralyse or even wreck the machine as a whole.\nIn contrast to such a machine, which is lifeless and depends for its proper functioning on perfect coordination between its parts, we may observe that a young and living organism grows healthily without being perfect, and before its faculties are fully matured. A child, for example, can flourish and be active while possessing many imperfections due to immaturity. It has a vigour and a vitality that no lifeless object can rival. Although it makes mistakes, upsets the order of things and creates disturbances around itself, yet no one demands maturity and perfection from it, and no one is unduly concerned about its childish behaviour. For it is normal that as the child grows up it will cease to act immaturely, and in the fullness of time will acquire wisdom and other perfections.\nTrue Baha'is understand the nature of their national and local institutions to be organic. They know that these bodies, animated by the spirit of the Cause, are in their infancy. They recognize that these assemblies, the embryos of future National and Local Houses of Justice, may make wrong decisions at times and may on occasion act unjustly, but in spite of these shortcomings they are pulsating with life and growing in strength and vitality day by day. Far from attacking and criticizing them, Baha'is rally around them with loving care and pride. For they know that Baha'u'llah has vouchsafed His protection to the embryonic institutions of His Faith. And they realize that like any living organism, the local and national institutions of the Faith must have their growing pains until <p321> the problems now facing them will gradually disappear.\nThough insignificant in the eyes of the outside world and relatively small in numbers, these local and national bodies have already demonstrated their ability to forge ahead, overcome difficult problems, remove apparently insurmountable obstacles, win great victories for the Cause and grow steadily to a point where, in the fullness of time, they will establish the foundations of justice and love for the peoples of the world. <p322>\n3. Divine Education\nThere are many exhortations in the Kitab-i-Aqdas calling the believers to live a saintly life and to adorn themselves with the ornament of goodly character and divine virtues.\nThere are many people, not Baha'is, who have been brought up to live a good life in their own traditions. They are trained from childhood to be courteous, kind and loving. They evince many good qualities which are inculcated in them until they have become second nature. They perform good deeds habitually. Such people merit the highest praise. But because they are deprived of the spirit of faith borne by God's Messenger to this age, they are like exquisite lamps which have not been lit. To live one's life as a Baha'i is different in so far as the heart is illumined with the love of Baha'u'llah. It is this love which makes the difference and which enables the believer to mirror forth the teachings of Baha'u'llah to others. Without this it is impossible for a Baha'i to achieve all that he could in this life. Indeed, the story of every religion is written in the language of love. Some people recognize Baha'u'llah intellectually; this is not sufficient. Not until the individual becomes a true lover can he acquire the spiritual capacity to serve the Cause of God fully in this day.\n'Immerse Yourselves in the Ocean of My Words' But like most things in this life which grow, there is always a beginning to this love for Baha'u'llah. When the individual embraces the Cause, the spark of faith appears in his heart. He then begins his journey of love towards Baha'u'llah. The <p323> candle of his heart is then just lighted. But this love must be allowed to grow, this light must be allowed to become a great fire.\nWhen a person finds a friend he likes, the only way by which he can strengthen the ties of friendship and love is to get to know his friend and become more intimate with him. Should he stay away and remain aloof, the friendship will not endure. The journey of a lover to his beloved may begin with mere acquaintance, but it can develop into a deep love as a result of close association and a selfless devotion.\nSimilarly, a believer must continue his journey of love to Baha'u'llah. The most important step in achieving this is to read the words of Baha'u'llah in order to commune with Him and become attracted to His Holy Person. Indeed, this is one of His commandments in the Kitab-i-Aqdas. He enjoins His followers to recite His words[1] twice a day, in the morning and the evening, and states that those who do not have failed to fulfil their pledge to the Covenant of God. These are His words in that Book:\n[1 The reading of the words of Baha'u'llah is not to be confused with saying of prayers which is a different commandment altogether.]\nRecite ye the verses of God every morning and evening\nWhoso reciteth them not hath truly failed to fulfil his pledge\nto the Covenant of God and His Testament and whoso in\nthis day turneth away therefrom, hath indeed turned away\nfrom God since time immemorial. Fear ye God, O concourse\nof My servants.\nTake heed lest excessive reading and too many acts of\npiety in the daytime and in the night season make you vainglorious.\nShould a person recite but a single verse from the\nHoly Writings in a spirit of joy and radiance, this would be\nbetter for him than reciting wearily all the Scriptures of\nGod, the Help in Peril, the Self-Subsisting. Recite ye the\nverses of God in such measure that ye be not overtaken with\nfatigue or boredom. Burden not your souls so as to cause\nexhaustion and weigh them down, but rather endeavour to <p324>\nlighten them, that they may soar on the wings of revealed\nVerses unto the dawning-place of His signs. This is\nconducive to nearer access unto God, were ye to\ncomprehend.(1)\nIn another passage in the Kitab-i-Aqdas He states:\nImmerse yourselves in the ocean of My words, that ye may\nun ravel its secrets, and discover all the pearls of wisdom that\nlie hid in its depths.(2)\nThe reading of the words of Baha'u'llah exerts the same influence upon the soul as food does to the body. It enables the soul to draw nigh to Baha'u'llah and become filled with His love. Without regular reading of the Writings twice a day, a Baha'i cannot grow spiritually and there is no alternative to compensate for this loss.\nIn the Kitab-i-Aqdas, Baha'u'llah states that there is no merit in reading His words when tired. He says that to read a few lines with a spirit of joy and fragrance is better than to read a whole book when depressed and weary. This commandment is very much tune with the law of nature which advocates that a person eat his food only when he is hungry. Another similarity is that in nature one must eat food regularly every day. To eat once in a lifetime is not sufficient. It is the same with reading the Words of God, which is the food for the spirit. To read the Holy Writings once in a while is not enough. As ordained by Baha'u'llah, the individual must, if he is to grow spiritually, read His words which are recorded in His Tablets twice every day. These words with all their vivifying forces must then be allowed to penetrate the heart and to strengthen one's faith.\nThe reading of the words of Baha'u'llah not only enables the faithful to increase his love for Him every day, but also deepens him in the Faith as well.\nDeepening in the Faith is often misunderstood. It is taken to imply participation in study classes, courses, and intellectual <p325> discussions. Often in these discussions the individual may inject his own ideas, as well as modern theories, into the teachings of Baha'u'llah, and make the Faith appear as complicated a highly involved scientific theory. In fact, the study of the Faith is so simple that any person with common sense, even if he lacks education, can fully understand its truth, provided his heart is pure. If we look at the talks of 'Abdu'l-Baha in the Western world we notice how in simple language He explained profound subjects.\nReal deepening occurs when the believer reads the Writings with the eyes of faith knowing that he is reading the Word of God, not the words of men--a Word which is charged with tremendous potency. Deepening also takes place when the believer associates with someone who is on fire with the love of Baha'u'llah. The very company of such a person increases one's faith in God. Baha'u'llah states in the Hidden Words:\n'... He that seeketh to commune with God, let him betake himself to the companionship of His loved ones; and he that desireth to hearken unto the word of God, let him give ear to the words of His chosen ones.' This is why those who meet a true servant of Baha'u'llah often become filled with a new spirit.\nIn the Heroic Age of the Faith the believers were deepened in faith by meeting together and sharing their knowledge and love of Baha'u'llah. One devoted Baha'i who had been in His presence, whose heart was filled with His love, or who had received Tablets from Him, could impart his fire and faith as well as his knowledge and understanding to others who associated with him. In those days believers did not have access to all the Writings and often did not know much about the teachings of Baha'u'llah. But their hearts were so filled with His love that a great many laid down their lives in His path.\nThere may be a tendency today to become too academic, even mechanical, in the study of the Faith. A purely intellectual approach may so cloud the heart that the rays of the Sun of Truth are unable to shine within it. What the <p326> believer needs, in addition to knowledge of the Faith, is to open his heart to the influences of the Revelation of Baha'u'llah, to commune with His spirit, rejoice in His Name and seek especially the companionship of His true lovers. Without the infusion of the spirit of faith in his life, without turning with his heart in humbleness to Baha'u'llah, he cannot deepen himself in the Cause, because the knowledge of God is first reflected within the heart of man, and then his intellect will grasp it. This is clear in the Writings.\nAnd now let there be a word of warning concerning this vital subject. Reading the writings of Baha'u'llah, important as it is, can never be conducive to spiritual progress unless it is combined with service to the Cause. Should a person take food regularly and in abundance, but fail to move about and use his muscles every day, he would soon become an invalid. In the same way, the study of the Writings must be accompanied by deeds, deeds which are enjoined by Baha'u'llah in His teachings and laws.\nIf the individual who has recognized the station of Baha'u'llah immerses himself in the ocean of His words, if he opens his heart to the influences of His Revelation, if he associates with devoted Baha'is who are on fire with the Faith and eschews fellowship with the ungodly,[1] and if he arises to serve the Cause, then his love for Baha'u'llah will increase day by day, and he will become a deep Baha'i.\n[1 A person who lives his life contrary to the teachings of God. He may profess belief in God, while many who regard themselves as agnostics or atheists may not be ungodly in reality. ]\nBaha'u'llah in the Kitab-i-Aqdas has placed an enormous responsibility upon parents for the proper upbringing and education of their children. These are His words in that book:\nUnto every father hath been enjoined the instruction of his <p327>\ninstruction, if he be wealthy, and if not the matter devolveth\n'Abdu'l-Baha in one of His Tablets(4) states that if the parents fail in the proper upbringing of their children, they have committed a sin that God cannot forgive.\nBringing up children, according to Baha'u'llah, is not merely teaching them good manners and arranging for their education. It has far-reaching implications. Baha'i education consists of academic as well as spiritual education. The former can be acquired in all the schools of the world. The latter, which from the Baha'i point of view is more important, is the acquiring of the knowledge of God and His Manifestations, the understanding of the mysteries of creation, the becoming well versed in the teachings of Baha'u'llah, the acquiring of good character, and the becoming equipped for serving the world of humanity.\nThe following words of Baha'u'llah gleaned from His Writings demonstrate the importance which is attached to the upbringing of children:\nKnowledge is as wings to man's life, and a ladder for his\nascent. Its acquisition is incumbent upon everyone. The\nknowledge of such sciences, however, should be acquired as\ncan profit the peoples of the earth, and not those which\nbegin with words and end with words... In truth\nknowledge is a veritable treasure for man, and a source of\nglory, of bounty, of joy, of exaltation, of cheer and gladness\nunto him.(5) <p328>\nSchools must first train the children in the principles of\nreligion, so that the Promise and the Threat recorded in the\nBooks of God may prevent them from the things forbidden\nand adorn them with the mantle of the commandments; but\nthis in such a measure that it may not injure the children by\nresulting in ignorant fanaticism and bigotry.[6]\nWe prescribe unto all men that which will lead to the\nexaltation of the Word of God amongst His servants, and\nlikewise, to the advancement of the world of being and the\nuplift of souls. To this end, the greatest means is education\nof the child. To this must each and all hold fast. We have\nverily laid this charge upon you in manifold Tablets as well\nas in My Most Holy Book. Well is it with him who deferreth\n'We ask of God that He will assist each and every one to\nobey this inescapable command that hath appeared and\nbeen caused to descend through the Pen of the Ancient of\nDays.(7)\n'Abdu'l-Baha has also stressed the importance of child education in many of His Tablets. The following are a few examples:\nIt is for this reason that, in this new cycle, education and\ntraining are recorded in the Book of God as obligatory and\nnot voluntary. That is, it is enjoined upon the father and\nmother, as a duty, to strive with all effort to train the\ndaughter and the son, to nurse them from the breast of\nknowledge and to rear them in the bosom of sciences and\narts. Should they neglect this matter, they shall be held\nresponsible and worthy of reproach in the presence of the\nstern Lord.(8)\n... from the very beginning, the children must receive\ndivine education and must continually be reminded to\nremember their God. Let the love of God pervade their\nInmost being, commingled with their mother's milk.(9) <p329>\nMy wish is that these children should receive a Baha'i\neducation, so that they may progress both here and in the\nKingdom, and rejoice thy heart.\nIn a time to come, morals will degenerate to an extreme\ndegree. It is essential that children be reared in the Baha'i\nway, that they may find happiness both in this world and\nthe next. If not, they shall be beset by sorrows and troubles,\nfor human happiness is founded upon spiritual behaviour.(10)\nThe Baha'i teachings on child education attach great importance to the role which a mother plays in bringing up children. These are the words of 'Abdu'l-Baha concerning this vital role of mothers:\nToday it is obligatory for the loved ones of God, and their\nimperative duty, to educate the children in reading, writing,\nthe various branches of knowledge, and the expansion of\nconsciousness, that on all levels they may go forward day by\nThe mother is the first teacher of the child. For children,\nat the beginning of life, are fresh and tender as a young twig,\nand can be trained in any fashion you desire. If you rear the\nchild to be straight, he will grow straight, in perfect\nsymmetry. It is clear that the mother is the first teacher and\nthat it is she who establisheth the character and conduct of\nWherefore, O ye loving mothers, know ye that in God's\nsight, the best of all ways to worship Him is to educate the\nchildren and train them in all the perfections of humankind;\nand no nobler deed than this can be imagined...(11)\nOne important aspect of the role of the mother in child education and spiritual training is seen in the emphasis which the Baha'i teachings place on the education of girls. For one day they will become mothers and the first educator of the child is the mother.\nThese and other basic teachings on child education will enable future educationalists to formulate a programme of <p330> Baha'i education. As human society inclines itself more and more towards Baha'i ideals, these teachings will be adopted by mankind. The following was written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi, the Guardian of the Baha'i Faith, in answer to a question concerning the Baha'i educational programme:\nYou have asked him [Shoghi Effendi] for detailed\ninformation concerning the Baha'i educational programme;\nthere is as yet no such thing as a Baha'i curriculum, and there\nare no Baha'i publications exclusively devoted to this\nsubject, since the teachings of Baha'u'llah and 'Abdu'l-Baha\ndo not present a definite and detailed educational system,\nbut simply offer certain basic principles and set forth a\nnumber of teaching ideals that should guide future Baha'i\neducationalists in their efforts to formulate an adequate\nteaching curriculum which would be in full harmony with\nthe spirit of the Baha'i Teachings, and would thus meet the\nrequirements and needs of the modern age.\nThese basic principles are available in the sacred writings\nof the Cause, and should be carefully studied, and gradually\nincorporated in various college and university programmes.\nBut the task of formulating a system of education which\nwould be officially recognized by the Cause, and enforced\nas such throughout the Baha'i world is one which the\npresent-day generation of believers cannot obviously\nundertake, and which has to be gradually accomplished by\nBaha'i scholars and educationalists of the future.(12)\nEducating children and youth is of such paramount importance in the Baha'i teachings that Baha'u'llah has praised the work of teachers and educationalists very highly. The teaching profession is held in such high esteem by Him that in the Kitab-i-Aqdas He has ordained, in cases of intestacy, for an inheritance to be divided among seven categories of people,[13] all from within the family except the last which is the teacher or teachers. In His Writings He has showered His favours and bounties in abundance upon those teachers who have recognized His station and are engaged in both spiritual and <p331> academic education. We have already cited one example of this.[1]\n'Abdu'l-Baha likewise has praised the station of teachers who are devoted to their profession. In a Tablet He describes their service as true worship of God, and states that they are the spiritual fathers of the children whom they teach, and therefore their work is highly meritorious in the sight of God.(14)\nTeaching the Cause\nIn many of His Tablets, Baha'u'llah has enjoined upon His followers to teach His Faith to the peoples of the world. In the Kitab-i-Aqdas too He exhorts the faithful to arise in the service of His Cause and refers to teaching as the crowning glory of every righteous deed. As stated in the previous volume, the primary purpose of teaching is to bring a soul to its God, and it is therefore regarded by Baha'u'llah as the 'most meritorious of all deeds'.[1]\n[1 See vol. 2, pp. 91-106.]\nThe prerequisites of teaching are to be found in the Writings of Baha'u'llah and 'Abdu'l-Baha, and Shoghi Effendi has enumerated some of them in his letter entitled The Advent of Divine Justice.(15) They may be summarized in a few words: 'Living one's life in accordance with Baha'i teachings.' Baha'u'llah in one of His Tablets states:\nhearers.(16)\nThis statement leaves no room for doubt, for Baha'u'llah says: <p332>\n'Without it, he can never hope to influence his hearers.' The word 'never' is very emphatic and rules out any other method. In numerous other Tablets Baha'u'llah has revealed similar statements.\n'Abdu'l-Baha in a Tablet writes:\nThe aim is this: The intention of the teacher must be pure,\nhis heart independent, his spirit attracted, his thought at\npeace, his resolution firm, his magnanimity exalted and in\nthe love of God a shining torch. Should he become as such,\nhis sanctified breath will even affect the rock; otherwise\nthere will be no result whatsoever.(17)\nThe emphasis of the last sentence is clear: 'otherwise there will be no result whatsoever.' There are numerous Tablets of 'Abdu'l-Baha with similar conclusions.\nShoghi Effendi has also drawn our attention to this truth in many of his letters. To cite one celebrated passage:\nNot by the force of numbers, not by the mere exposition of\na set of new and noble principles, not by an organized\ncampaign of teaching--no matter how worldwide and\nelaborate in its character--not even by the staunchness of\nour faith or the exaltation of our enthusiasm, can we\nultimately hope to vindicate in the eyes of a critical and\nsceptical age the supreme claim of the Abha Revelation\nOne thing and only one thing will unfailingly and alone\nsecure the undoubted triumph of this sacred Cause, namely\nthe extent to which our own inner life and private character\nmirror forth in their manifold aspects the splendour of those\neternal principles proclaimed by Baha'u'llah.(18)\nHere Shoghi Effendi leaves no alternative to this vital prerequisite for teaching, for he says (and let us note his double emphasis): 'One thing and only one thing will unfailingly and alone secure the undoubted triumph of this sacred Cause...' Having discussed one of the most important prerequisites for teaching, let us now examine the work of teaching itself. <p333> There are no set methods or procedures, although we have been given certain principles and guide-lines by the Author of the Faith and by 'Abdu'l-Baha and Shoghi Effendi. These principles and guides are at variance with standards and methods current outside the Faith, where frequently every expedient measure is used to influence people and convert them to various ideologies. The Cause of Baha'u'llah is founded on the truth of God's Revelation, and truth cannot be clothed in false standards. It cannot employ the techniques of salesmanship, propaganda, expediency and compromise. The methods used in the commercial world to attract people to new ideas, such as extravagant and sensational publicity based on slogans, extreme statements and similar gimmicks, are all alien to the Cause of God.\nIn his teaching work a Baha'i presents the Message of Baha'u'llah as one would offer a gift to a king. Since his primary object in teaching is not to increase numbers,[1] but rather to bring a soul to its God, he ought to approach his fellow men with feelings of love and humility, and above all take to them the transforming power of Baha'u'llah and nothing of himself. Indeed, if he tries to project himself, by impressing upon the listener his knowledge and accomplishments, and aims to establish the ascendancy of his arguments while teaching the Faith, then the power of Baha'u'llah cannot reach him.\nSuccess in teaching depends on one's ability and readiness to draw from the power of Baha'u'llah. There is no alternative. If the believer does not open the way for Baha'u'llah through his love for Him, by his life and by teaching His Cause with devotion, His confirmations and assistance cannot reach him, and he will fail in his service to Him. Those who rank foremost among Baha'i teachers were always conscious of the presence of Baha'u'llah at every stage of their teaching activities. It was because of the consciousness of His presence that they were enabled to approach with genuine love and humility those who <p334> were seeking the truth, attracting them with the warmth of their faith and the creative power of their words. It was this consciousness which enabled them to radiate the glory of the new-born Faith of God, to demonstrate its truth, to promote its interests, to withstand the onslaught of its enemies and to win imperishable victories for their Lord.\nBaha'u'llah often counselled His followers how to teach the Faith. For example, He directed Haji Muhammad-Tahir-i-Malmiri, when he was leaving His presence, to engage in teaching the Cause in his native city of Yazd and gave him some instructions as to how to teach. Foremost among these instructions was to pray for the seeker and urge him also to pray so that the confirmations of God might reach him and open his eyes to the truth of the Cause. Another counsel was to begin teaching with the account of the history of the religions of the past and their Founders, similar to the accounts given in the Kitab-i-Iqan. This would enable the enquirer to get an insight into his own religion that he might recognize the truth and the reality of the Founder of his own Faith. When this stage was reached, the individual would be ready to appreciate and understand the Cause of God for this day.[1]\nTo cite another example: there is a Tablet(19) from Baha'u'llah in which Faris[1] (the Christian Syrian who embraced the Faith in Alexandria) is exhorted to teach with wisdom. He counsels him not to disclose to people everything about the Cause at first, but rather to teach them little by little until they are ready to absorb more. He likens this process to feeding infants who need to be given a little milk at a time until they grow in strength and are able to digest other food. This exhortation of Baha'u'llah is the basis of teaching the Cause of God. The principles involved are very similar to those which a schoolteacher employs in teaching his pupils little by little and in accordance with their capacity. Before teaching the Cause to any person, it is important to know his background and <p335> capacity. The most successful teachers are those who after familiarizing themselves with the beliefs and ideas of an individual, reveal the truths of the Faith gradually to him, but what little they impart is the correct remedy and is so potent as to influence and stimulate the soul and enable it to take a step forward and become ready to absorb more.\n[1 See pp. 5-11.]\nHaji Mirza Haydar-'Ali, the celebrated Baha'i teacher to whose outstanding services we have already referred, has left to posterity the following account of one of his memorable interviews with Baha'u'llah in 'Akka, in the course of which He spoke these words about teaching the Cause of God:\nThe way to teach is to have a pleasing disposition and to deal\nwith people in a spirit of loving-kindness. One must\nacknowledge whatever the other person says, even if it is\nvain imaginings, beliefs which are the result of blind\nimitation, or absurd talk. One should avoid in engaging in\narguments or adducing proofs which bring out\nstubbornness and contention in the other person. This is\nbecause he finds himself defeated, and this will lead to his\nbecoming more veiled from the truth and will add to his\nwaywardness.\nThe right way is to acknowledge the other person's\nstatements and then present him with the alternative point\nof view and invite him to examine it to see whether it is true\nor false. Of course, when it is presented to him with\ncourtesy, affection and loving-kindness, he will hear and\nWill not be thinking in terms of defence, to find answers and\nlook for proofs. He will acknowledge and admit the points.\nWhen the person realizes that the purpose behind\ndiscussions is not wrangling or the winning of arguments,\nbut rather to convey the truth and to reveal human qualities\nand divine perfections, he will of course show fairness. His\ninner eyes and ears and heart will open and, through the\ngrace of God, he will become a new creation and will\npossess new eyes and new ears.\nBaha'u'llah spoke a great deal about the evils of\ncontroversial argument and aiming to become a winner in <p336>\ndiscussion. He then said, 'The Most Great Branch[1] will\nlisten to any absurd talk with such attentiveness that the\nperson concerned believes that He is deriving enlightenment\nfrom him. However, little by little, and in a way that the\nperson cannot realize, He bestows upon him a new vision\nand a new understanding.'[2](20)\n[2 These are not the exact words of Baha'u'llah but convey the purport of His talk.]\nThe talks of 'Abdu'l-Baha in the West provide the best example of wisdom in teaching. He addressed audiences who were almost alien to the history and genesis of the Faith and unfamiliar with the claims and the station of its Founder. Yet He disclosed to them with simplicity and brevity only those essential truths which they were capable of understanding and which constituted the first stepping-stones for their eventual recognition of the stupendous Message of Baha'u'llah. He clearly avoided at that early stage any elaboration on the many implications of the station of Baha'u'llah and His Revelation as well as the unfoldment of His laws and His World Order in the future. Instead, He bestowed upon every one who had the capacity a measure of His all-embracing love, which animated and sustained those few who embraced the Faith in the West.\nPerhaps it is a temptation for a Baha'i teacher, especially if he is a knowledgeable one, to pour out upon a seeker all his knowledge, and bombard him with a series of profound utterances and lengthy discussions with the aim of proving the truth of his own arguments. When this happens it blocks the way for the power of Baha'u'llah to reach the heart of the seeker and enlighten him with the light of faith.\nIn following the footsteps of the Exemplar of the Faith of Baha'u'llah we may observe that when someone asked 'Abdu'l-Baha a question, He often did not give the person all the answers. He gently prepared him to understand the subject. For example, He talked about something which <p337> seemed unrelated to the question but in the end led him to discover the truth. One may cite the example of Howard Colby Ives, a Unitarian Minister in the United States who became attracted to 'Abdu'l-Baha when He visited that country, and eventually became an ardent believer. One gathers from reading his fascinating chronicles Portals to Freedom that 'Abdu'l-Baha led him to the path of truth very gently and slowly. The following story is recorded in that book:\nIn all of my many opportunities of meeting, of listening to\nand talking with 'Abdu'l-Baha I was impressed, and\nconstantly more deeply impressed, with His method of\nteaching souls. That is the word. He did not attempt to\nreach the mind alone. He sought the soul, the reality of\neveryone He met. Oh, He could be logical, even scientific in\nHis presentation of an argument, as He demonstrated\nconstantly in the many addresses I have heard Him give and\nthe many more I have read. But it was not the logic of the\nschoolman, not the science of the class room. His lightest\nword, His slightest association with a soul was shot through\nwith an illuminating radiance which lifted the hearer to a\nhigher plane of consciousness. Our hearts burned within us\nwhen He spoke. And He never argued, of course. Nor did\nHe press a point. He left one free. There was never an\nassumption of authority, rather He was ever the\npersonification of humility. He taught 'as if offering a gift to\na king'. He never told me what I should do, beyond\nsuggesting that what I was doing was right. Nor did He ever\ntell me what I should believe. He made Truth and Love so\nbeautiful and royal that the heart perforce did reverence. He\nshowed me by His voice, manner, bearing, smile, how I\nshould be, knowing that out of the Pure soil of being the\ngood fruit of deeds and words would surely spring.\nThere was a strange, awe-inspiring mingling of humility\nand majesty, relaxation and power in His slightest word or\ngesture which made me long to understand its source. What\nmade Him so different, so immeasurably superior to any\nother man I had ever met?(21) <p338>\nAnother story which throws light on the subject is the following by Colby Ives:\nSo one cold Spring day, a strong east wind blowing, I made a\nspecial journey to ask 'Abdu'l-Baha about renunciation. I\nfound the house at Ninety-sixth Street almost deserted. It\nseemed that 'Abdu'l-Baha was spending a day or two at the\nhome of one of the friends on Seventy-eighth Street and so I\nwalked there and found Him on the point of returning to\nthe home I had just left. But I was too intent on my mission\nto allow difficulties to interfere. I sought one of the Persian\nfriends and, pointing to the passage in the little volume I\ncarried in my pocket, I asked him if he would request\n'Abdu'l-Baha to speak to me for a few moments on this\nsubject, and I read it to him so that there should be no\nmistake: 'Prevent me not from turning to the Horizon of\nrenunciation.'\nReturning, he handed me the book saying that 'Abdu'l-Baha\nrequested that I walk with Him back to Ninety-sixth\nStreet and He would talk with me on the way.\nI recall that there was quite a little procession of us, a\ndozen or so, mostly composed of the Persian friends but a\nfew others; Lua Getsinger was one, I remember. The east\nwind was penetrating. I buttoned my coat closely with a\nlittle shiver. But 'Abdu'l-Baha strode along with his 'aba\n(cloak) floating in the wind. He looked at me as we walked\ntogether at the head of the little group, with a slightly\nquizzical glance: He said that I seemed cold, a slightly\namused glance accompanying the words, and I unaccountably\nfelt a little disturbed. Why should I not feel\ncold? Could one be expected to live even above the weather?\nBut this slight remark was indicative. Always His slightest\nword affected me as a summons. 'Come up higher!' He\nseemed to say.\nAs we walked a few paces ahead of the others He talked at\nlength about Horizons. Of how the Sun of Reality, like the\nphysical sun, rose at different points, the Sun of Moses at\none point, the Sun of Jesus at another, the Sun of\nMuhammad, the Sun of Baha'u'llah at still others. But <p339>\nalways the same Sun though the rising points varied greatly.\nAlways we must look for the light of the Sun, He said, and\nnot keep our eyes so firmly fixed on its last point of rising\nthat we fail to see its glory when it rises in the new Spiritual\nSpringtime. Once or twice He stopped and, with His stick,\ndrew on the sidewalk an imaginary horizon and indicated\nthe rising points of the sun. A strange sight it must have been\nto the casual passer-by.\nI was greatly disappointed. I had heard Him speak on this\nsubject and had read about it in Some Answered Questions.\nIt was not of horizons I wanted to hear, but of renunciation.\nAnd I was deeply depressed also because I felt that He\nshould have known my desire for light on this subject, and\nresponded to my longing even if I had not been so explicit in\nmy request; but I had been most explicit. As we approached\nour destination He became silent. My disappointment had\nlong since merged into great content. Was it not enough to\nbe with Him? What, after all, could He tell me about\nrenunciation that was not already in my own heart? Perhaps\nthe way to learn about it was by doing, and I might begin by\ngiving up the longing to have Him talk to me about it. Truly,\nas the outer silence deepened, my heart burned within me as\nHe talked with me on the way.\nWe came at last to the steps leading up to the entrance\ndoor. 'Abdu'l-Baha paused with one foot resting on the\nlower step while the little group slowly passed Him and\nentered the house. 'Abdu'l-Baha made as if to follow, but\ninstead He turned and, looking down at me from the little\nelevation of the step, with that subtle meaning in eyes and\nvoice which seemed to accompany His slightest word, and\nwhich to me was always so unfathomable and so alluring:\nHe said that I must always remember that this is a day of\ngreat things, very great things.\nI was speechless. It was not for me to answer. I did not\nhave the faintest inkling of what lay behind the words, the\nresonant voice, that penetrating glance. Then He turned and\nagain made as if to ascend but again He paused and turned\nHis now luminous face towards me. My foot was raised to\nfollow but as He turned, I, of course, paused also and hung <p340>\nuncertainly between rest and motion.\nHe repeated, saying to me so impressively, so earnestly,\nthat I must never forget this, that this is a day for very great\nWhat could He mean? What deep significance lay behind\nthese simple words? Why should He speak so to me? Had it\nanything to do with that still alluring thought of\nAgain 'Abdu'l-Baha turned to ascend and I made to\nfollow; but for the third time He paused and, turning, as it\nseemed, the full light of His spirit upon me, He said again,\nbut this time in what seemed like a voice of thunder, with\nliterally flashing eyes and emphatically raised hand: that I\nshould remember His words that This is a Day for very\ngreat things--VERY GREAT THINGS. These last three\nwords rang out like a trumpet call. The long, deserted city\nblock seemed to echo them. I was overwhelmed. I seemed to\ndwindle, almost to shrivel, where I stood, as that beautifully\ndominant figure, that commanding and appealing voice,\nsurrounded me like a sea, and blotted out for the moment, at\nleast, all the petty world and my petty self with it. Who and\nwhat was I to be summoned to accomplish great things, very\ngreat things? I did not even know what things were great in\nthis world awry with misbegotten emphases.\nAfter what seemed a very long moment, in which His\nburning eyes probed my soul, He gently smiled. The great\nmoment had passed. He was again the courteous, kindly,\nhumble host, the Father whom thought I knew. He touched\nHis fez so that it stood at what I called the humorous angle,\nand a slightly quizzical smile was around His mouth as He\nrapidly ascended the steps and entered the open door. I\nfollowed closely. We passed through the few steps of the\nhall to the stairs. I remember the wondering, slightly\nenvious glances that followed me as I followed 'Abdu'l-Baha\nup the stairs. The upper hall was empty and 'Abdu'l-Baha\nswept through it and up another flight to His room, a\nlarge front room on the third floor. And still I followed. I\nhave often marvelled since at my temerity. Had I known\nmore or felt less I never should have dared. It is said that <p341>\nfools rush in where angels fear to tread. Perhaps that is the\nway that fools are cured of their folly.\nWe came to the door of 'Abdu'l-Baha's room. He had not\ninvited me there, nor had He looked once behind Him to see\nthat I was following, and it was with much inward\ntrepidation that I paused at the threshold as He entered the\nroom. Would He be displeased? Had I overstepped the\nbounds of the respect due 'Abdu'l-Baha? Had I been lacking\nin due humility? But my heart was humility itself--He\nmust know that. He swung the door wide and turning\nbeckoned me in.\nAgain I was alone with 'Abdu'l-Baha. There was the bed\nin which He slept, the chair in which He sat. The late\nafternoon sunlight lay palely across the floor, but I saw\nnothing. I was conscious only of Him and that I was alone\nwith Him. The room was very still. No sound came from\nthe street nor from the lower rooms. The silence deepened\nas He regarded me with that loving, all-embracing, all-understanding\nlook which always melted my heart. A deep\ncontent and happiness flooded my being. A little flame\nseemed lit within my breast. And then 'Abdu'l-Baha spoke:\nHe simply asked me if I were interested in renunciation.\nNothing could have been more unexpected. I had entirely\nforgotten the question which had so engrossed my thoughts\nan hour since. Or was it that in that hour during which the\nword renunciation had not been mentioned, all that I\nwished or needed to know about it had been vouchsafed\nme? I had no words to answer His question. Was\ninterested? I could not say I was and I would not say I was\nnot. I stood before Him silent while His whole Being\nseemed to reach out to embrace me. Then His arm was\naround me and He led me to the door. I left His Presence\nwith my soul treading the heights. I felt as though I had been\nadmitted, for the moment at least, into the ranks of the\nmartyrs. And it was a goodly fellowship indeed. During all\nthe long years of renunciation that followed, the memory of\nthat walk with Him; my disappointment that He had not\nunderstood; His ringing challenge: This is a Day for very\ngreat things: my following Him up those long stairs without <p342>\neven knowing whether He wished me to or not, and then\nthe question wrapped in that sublime love: Are you\ninterested in renunciation? has risen before me, a\ncomforting and inspiring challenge. Indeed I was interested\nand my interest has never flagged from that day to this. But I\nnever dreamed that renunciation could be so glorious.(22) <p343>\n4. Worship and Daily Life\nThe Mashriqu'l-Adhkar\nOne of the commandments of Baha'u'llah in the Kitab-i-Aqdas is the establishment of the institution of the House of Worship, designated by Him 'Mashriqu'l-Adhkar' (Dawning-place of the mention of God). He has ordained that in every locality an edifice be built with the utmost perfection for the exclusive purpose of worshipping God. In it only the word of God may be read or chanted in a way that will exhilarate the ears and uplift the souls. He also counsels parents to teach their children the words of God revealed by Him, so that they may chant them in the Houses of Worship.\nThese are the words of Baha'u'llah revealed in the Kitab-i-Aqdas:\nBlessed is he who directeth his steps towards the\nMashriqu'l-Adhkar at the hour of dawn, communing with\nHim, attuned to His remembrance, imploring His\nforgiveness. And having entered therein, let him sit in\nsilence to hearken unto the verses of God, the Sovereign, the\nAlmighty, the All-praised. Say, the Mashriqu'l-Adhkar is in\ntruth any House raised in towns or villages, for mention of\nMe. Thus hath it been named before His Throne; would\nthat ye know it. And those who chant the verses of the\nMerciful in most melodious tones will attain thereby unto\nthat with which the kingdoms of earth and heaven can never\ncompare. And they will inhale therefrom the fragrance of\nMy realms which none discerneth in this day save those who <p344>\nhave been granted vision by this sublime Beauty. Say,\nverily, the verses of the Merciful uplift the stainless hearts\nunto those realms of the spirit which cannot be described in\nwords or expressed in symbols. Blessed are they that\nhearken!(1)\nTeach your children that which hath been sent down from\nthe heaven of majesty and power that they may recite the\nTablets of the Merciful in the halls of the Mashriqu'l-Adhkars\nin most melodious tones. Verily, he who hath been\ndrawn by the magnet of the love of My Name, the Merciful,\nwill recite the verses of God in such wise as to enrapture the\nhearts of those who are fast asleep. Well is it with him who\nhath quaffed the choice wine of immortal life from the\nutterances of his Lord, the Lord of Mercy, through the\npower of this exalted Name whereby every high and lofty\nmountain hath been reduced to dust.(2)\nWe note that Baha'u'llah urges His followers to conduct prayer services in the Mashriqu'l-Adhkar at the hour of dawn, a time which is specially conducive to spiritual upliftment. In the earlier days of the Faith when social circumstances were favourable in Persia and people worked very flexible hours, the believers often gathered in the home of a Baha'i before dawn to pray and to read the Writings of Baha'u'llah. No doubt, in the future, when the World Order of Baha'u'llah is fully established and in every city a sufficient number of Baha'i Houses of Worship erected, a new social pattern will emerge which will regulate man's way of life in such spheres as work, rest, leisure and service to the Cause, enabling him to arise before dawn and engage in praise and glorification of God. And this will result in a balance being created between his spiritual and physical needs.\nThe spiritual activities of future society will mainly circle around the institution of the Mashriqu'l-Adhkar itself, while its humanitarian and administrative activities will be focused <p345> upon a cluster of institutions built around it as its dependencies. These, according to 'Abdu'l-Baha's words, include hospitals, orphanages, schools, universities, hostels and similar institutions. The teachings of Baha'u'llah always combine the spiritual and human values together. Like the balance that exists between the soul and the body, the Baha'i Faith advocates the observance of spiritual and physical laws which can alone guarantee the well-being of man. The Mashriqu'l-Adhkar and its dependencies provide this balance in the community. One is the centre of spiritual forces generated through prayer and thanksgiving to God, the other, the institutions of social service, the focal point of all human endeavour, of love and compassion.\nShoghi Effendi, as far back as 1929, explained some of the salient features of the Mashriqu'l-Adhkar in a letter to the American Baha'is who were then engaged in building the first Baha'i House of Worship in the Western world.\nIt should be borne in mind that the central Edifice of the\nMashriqu'l-Adhkar, round which in the fullness of time\nshall cluster such institutions of social service as shall afford\nrelief to the suffering, sustenance to the poor, shelter to the\nwayfarer, solace to the bereaved, and education to the\nignorant, should be regarded apart from these Dependencies,\nas a House solely designed and entirely dedicated to\nthe worship of God in accordance with the few yet definitely\nprescribed principles established by Baha'u'llah in the\nKitabu'l-Aqdas. It should not be inferred, however, from\nthis general statement that the interior of the central Edifice\nitself will be converted into a conglomeration of religious\nservices conducted along lines associated with the\ntraditional procedure obtaining in churches, mosques,\nsynagogues, and other temples of worship. Its various\navenues of approach, all converging towards the central\nHall beneath its dome, will not serve as admittance to those\nsectarian adherents of rigid formulae and man-made creeds,\neach bent, according to his way, to observe his rites, recite\nhis prayers, perform his ablutions, and display the <p346>\nparticular symbols of his faith, within separately defined\nsections of Baha'u'llah's Universal House of Worship. Far\nfrom the Mashriqu'l-Adhkar offering such a spectacle of\nincoherent and confused sectarian observances and rites, a\ncondition wholly incompatible with the provisions of the\nAqdas and irreconcilable with the spirit it inculcates, the\ncentral House of Baha'i worship, enshrined within the\nMashriqu'l-Adhkar, will gather within its chastened walls,\nin a serenely spiritual atmosphere, only those who,\ndiscarding forever the trapping of elaborate and ostentatious\nceremony, are willing worshippers of the one true\nGod, as manifested in this age in the Person of Baha'u'llah.\nTo them will the Mashriqu'l-Adhkar symbolize the\nfundamental verity underlying the Baha'i Faith, that\nreligious truth is not absolute but relative, that Divine\nRevelation is not final but progressive. Theirs will be the\nconviction that an all-loving and ever-watchful Father\nWho, in the past, and at various stages in the evolution of\nmankind, has sent forth His Prophets as the Bearers of His\nLight to mankind, cannot at this critical period of their\ncivilization withhold from His children the Guidance\nwhich they sorely need amid the darkness which has beset\nthem, and which neither the light of science nor that of\nhuman intellect and wisdom can succeed in dissipating. And\nthus having recognized in Baha'u'llah the source whence\nthis celestial light proceeds, they will irresistibly feel\nattracted to seek the shelter of His House and congregate\ntherein, unhampered by ceremonials and unfettered by\ncreed, to render homage to the one true God, the Essence\nand Orb of eternal Truth, and to exalt and magnify the name\nof His Messengers and Prophets Who, from time\nimmemorial even unto our day, have, under divers\ncircumstances and in varying measure, mirrored forth to a\ndark and wayward world the light of heavenly Guidance.\nBut, however inspiring the conception of Baha'i worship,\nas witnessed in the central Edifice of this exalted Temple, it\ncannot be regarded as the sole, nor even the essential, factor\nin the part which the Mashriqu'l-Adhkar, as designed by\nBaha'u'llah, is destined to play in the organic life of the <p347>\nBaha'i community. Divorced from the social, humanitarian,\neducational and scientific pursuits centering around the\nDependencies of the Mashriqu'l-Adhkar, Baha'i worship,\nhowever exalted in its conception, however passionate in\nfervour, can never hope to achieve beyond the meagre and\noften transitory results produced by the contemplations of\nthe ascetic or the communion of the passive worshipper.\nIt cannot afford lasting satisfaction and benefit to the\nworshipper himself, much less to humanity in general,\nunless and until translated and transfused into that dynamic\nand disinterested service to the cause of humanity which\nit is the supreme privilege of the Dependencies of the\nMashriqu'l-Adhkar to facilitate and promote. Nor will the\nexertions, no matter how disinterested and strenuous, of\nthose who within the precincts of the Mashriqu'l-Adhkar\nwill be engaged in administering the affairs of the future\nBaha'i Commonwealth, fructify and prosper unless they\nare brought into close and daily communion with those\nspiritual agencies centering in and radiating from the central\nShrine of the Mashriqu'l-Adhkar. Nothing short of direct\nand constant interaction between the spiritual forces\nemanating from this House of Worship centering in the\nheart of the Mashriqu'l-Adhkar, and the energies consciously\ndisplayed by those who administer its affairs\nin their service to humanity can possibly provide the\nnecessary agency capable of removing the ills that have\nso long and so grievously afflicted humanity. For it is\nassuredly upon the consciousness of the efficacy of the Revelation\nof Baha'u'llah, reinforced on one hand by spiritual\ncommunion with His Spirit, and on the other by the\nintelligent application and the faithful execution of the\nprinciples and laws He revealed, that the salvation of a\nworld in travail must ultimately depend. And of all the\ninstitutions that stand associated with His Holy Name,\nsurely none save the institution of the Mashriqu'i-Adhkar\ncan most adequately provide the essentials of Baha'i\nworship and service, both so vital to the regeneration of the\nworld. Therein lies the secret of the loftiness, of the\npotency, of the unique position of the Mashriqu'l-Adhkar <p348>\nas one of the outstanding institutions conceived by\nBaha'u'llah.(3)\nThe Baha'i House of Worship is a nine-sided building, symbolic of the number of Baha.[1] Baha'u'llah has forbidden the display of pictures or statues within its walls and since there are no clergy in the Faith, there are to be no sermons. Another prohibition is the use of musical instruments. Only the human voice may be used in chanting or reading the word of God and glorifying his Name.\n[1 See p. 316n.]\nThe Obligatory Prayer\nBaha'i worship is not limited to a service at the Mashriqu'l-Adhkar. One of the ordinances of Baha'u'llah in the Kitab-i-Aqdas is the daily obligatory prayer. It is enjoined upon every believer from the age of fifteen to observe this commandment in the privacy of his own chamber. This is one of the rituals of the Faith of Baha'u'llah. But no individual or institution of the Faith has the right to enforce this law. The believer alone is responsible before his God for this act of devotion to Him. In saying the daily obligatory prayer, one must perform all its rites including the turning towards the Qiblih[1] of the Baha'i world.\n[1 Literally: point of adoration. The Shrine of Baha'u'llah is the Qiblih to which Baha'is the world over turn when saying their obligatory prayers.]\nBaha'u'llah has revealed three obligatory prayers for the individual and has enjoined on him to recite one of these prayers every day. These are known as the long, the medium and the short obligatory prayers. In the first two Baha'u'llah has ordained certain genuflectory actions which are designed to heighten man's devotion and servitude to his Creator.\nIn order to appreciate the significance of these actions let us recall that the human personality of the Manifestation of God influences the form of the religion He founds. We have <p349> discussed this theme in a previous volume.[1] To cite one example: we know that the Word of God in its innermost reality is exalted above and independent of any language. It emanates from the Kingdom of Revelation,[2] and as such it is limitless in its potency and far removed from the material world. However, this spiritual entity is clothed within the mantle of the 'spoken word' which is limited and belongs to the world of man. This is one way in which the personality of the Manifestation of God affects the form of religion. Since Baha'u'llah was a native of Persia, the Word of God has been revealed in the Persian and Arabic languages. Had the person of the Manifestation of God been a native of another land, the revealed Word would have assumed a different form altogether.\nThe effect of the personality of the Manifestation on His religion is not limited to influencing the Word of God. It affects almost every feature of that religion. The genuflectory actions ordained in the obligatory prayers provide an example, for this important religious rite has been formulated and to some extent influenced by the personality of Baha'u'llah. These genuflections are intended to convey symbolically man's attitude towards his Lord. The combination of the words uttered with the actions that accompany them will bring about a greater consciousness of the sovereignty of God and of man's impotence and poverty in this life.\nThe form that these actions take, however, is based in Baha'u'llah's own personal background. In the society in which He was brought up, the language was Persian and there were certain expressions which were conveyed by the movements of one's hands or body. Similar to the use of the Persian language in the revelation of the Word of God Baha'u'llah has incorporated these movements, which were known to Him, to express symbolically various feelings such as humility, supplication and servitude to God. <p350>\nEvery culture has its own language and customs. The person of the Manifestation of God from the human point of view abides within His own environment. He expresses himself like the rest of His countrymen. In the Persian culture it was customary to raise one's hands towards heaven when supplicating the Lord, or to bend one's body when showing humility or to prostrate oneself before one's God when expressing one's utter nothingness before Him. These actions Baha'u'llah has incorporated in the obligatory prayers in order to increase the ardour and devotion of the servant when praying to his Lord and to demonstrate both by words and by action, the loftiness, the grandeur and the glory of God, while recognizing his own station of servitude at His threshold.\nBaha'u'llah has attached utmost importance to the obligatory prayer. 'Abdu'l-Baha in one of His Tablets[4] describes it as 'the very foundation of the Cause of God' and the 'cause of spiritual life' for the individual. In another Tablet[5] He states that the observance of the ordinance of obligatory prayer is binding on all and no excuse is acceptable, except when a person is mentally deranged or is confronted by extraordinary circumstances.\nApart from the obligatory prayers, which are enjoined on all believers, there are many prayers revealed by the Bab, Baha'u'llah and 'Abdu'l-Baha which are of a different nature and the recital of which do not constitute a religious rite. Their recital is voluntary and can be said whenever the individual is moved to do so, either in private or public.\nIn Islam it is customary to say the obligatory prayer in congregations. Baha'u'llah has forbidden congregational prayers except for the dead. Unlike the obligatory prayer which must be said in private, the special obligatory prayer for the dead is-to be recited in congregation. Here we notice the difference between ordinary prayers revealed by the Bab, Baha'u'llah and 'Abdu'l-Baha, which may be recited in public, and the obligatory prayer for the dead which is one of the rites of the Baha'i Faith and Baha'u'llah has permitted its recital in <p351> public. The word 'congregational' may cause a misunderstanding in that one may assume that the whole congregation must join in unison to recite the prayer. But this is not so. The prayer for the dead is to be recited by one person in the presence of the congregation. On the other hand, there are Tablets or prayers revealed by Baha'u'llah or 'Abdu'l-Baha which in the original language lend themselves to be chanted in unison. But since these are not part of any rite their recital in this manner is not termed congregational.\nAnother form of worship which Baha'u'llah has ordained in the Kitab-i-Aqdas is one's work, when carried out in the spirit of service to mankind. This teaching is unique in religious history, and is a source of spiritual and material progress.\nIt is enjoined upon every one of you to engage in some form\nof occupation, such as crafts, trades and the like. We have\ngraciously exalted your engagement in such work to the\nrank of worship unto God, the True One. Ponder ye in your\nhearts the grace and the blessings of God and render thanks\nunto Him at eventide and at dawn. Waste not your time in\nidleness and sloth. Occupy yourselves with that which\nprofiteth yourselves and others. Thus hath it been decreed\nin this Tablet from whose horizon the day-star of wisdom\nand utterance shineth resplendent.\nThe most despised of men in the sight of God are those\nwho sit idly and beg. Hold ye fast unto the cord of material\nmeans, placing your whole trust in God, the Provider of all\nmeans. When anyone occupieth himself in a craft or trade,\nsuch occupation itself is regarded in the estimation of God\nas an act of worship; and this is naught but a token of His\ninfinite and all-pervasive bounty.(6)\nAlthough the worship of God is the paramount duty of man and the purpose of his life, yet Baha'u'llah states in one of His Tablets(7) that should a person be occupied with the worship of <p352> God throughout his life, but devoid of pure deeds and deprived of those spiritual qualities which help promote the Cause of God, his act of worship is of no benefit to him and will produce no result.\nAnother institution of vital importance which originated from the Bab and was confirmed and established by Baha'u'llah in the Kitab-i-Aqdas is that of the Nineteen Day Feast. Each Baha'i month,[1] the members of the Baha'i community take part in a feast which combines three important features of devotional readings and prayers, of consultation and of fellowship. Baha'u'llah states that the main purpose of the Nineteen Day Feast is to create love and unity in the hearts of people.\n[1 In the Baha'i calendar there are 19 months of 19 days. For more information see vol. 2.]\nAbolition of Monasticism and Confession of Sins\nIn the Kitab-i-Aqdas Baha'u'llah categorically condemns mendicancy and asceticism. He strongly disapproves the practice of retiring in solitude, of self-mortification and inflicting hardships upon the body. He affirms that such deeds are not conducive to spiritual gain and have no merit in the sight of God. We have referred to this subject in a previous volume.[1] In several Tablets Baha'u'llah has reiterated this important teaching. In the Kalimat-i-Firdawsiyyih (Words of Paradise) revealed in honour of Haji Mirza Haydar-'Ali, Baha'u'llah reveals these words:\nO people of the earth! Living in seclusion or practising\nasceticism is not acceptable in the presence of God. It\nbehoveth them that are endued with insight and <p353>\nunderstanding to observe that which will cause joy and\nradiance. Such practices as are sprung from the loins of idle\nfancy or are begotten of the womb of superstition ill beseem\nmen of knowledge. In former times and more recently some\npeople have been taking up their abodes in the caves of the\nmountains while others have repaired to graveyards at\nnight. Say, give ear unto the counsels of this Wronged One.\nAbandon the things current amongst you and adopt that\nwhich the faithful Counsellor biddeth you. Deprive not\nyourselves of the bounties which have been created for your\nsake.(8)\nIn the Bisharat (Glad-Tidings) Baha'u'llah directs the Christian monks to come out of their cloisters and live a life of service to mankind. These are His words:\nThe pious deeds of the monks and priests among the\nfollowers of the Spirit[1]--upon Him be the peace of God--\nare remembered in His presence. In this Day, however, let\nthem give up the life of seclusion and direct their steps\ntowards the open world and busy themselves with that\nwhich will profit themselves and others. We have granted\nthem leave to enter into wedlock that they may bring forth\none who will make mention of God, the Lord of the seen\nand the unseen, the Lord of the Exalted Throne.(9)\n[1 Jesus.]\nBaha'u'llah in many of His Writings describes the exalted station of man. He has exhorted him to loftiness of character and whatever will enhance his honour and dignity. In the Kitab-i-Aqdas He has forbidden the practice of the confession of sins which is conducive to humiliation for the individual. Instead He has ordained that the sinner should repent to God and seek forgiveness from Him. In one of His Tablets He states:\nWhen the sinner findeth himself wholly detached and freed\nfrom all save God, he should beg forgiveness and pardon <p354>\nfrom Him. Confession of sins and transgressions before\nhuman beings is not permissible, as it hath never been nor\nwill ever be conducive to divine forgiveness. Moreover such\nconfession before people results in one's humiliation and\nabasement, and God--exalted be His glory--wisheth not\nthe humiliation of His servants. Verily He is the\nCompassionate, the Merciful. The sinner should, between\nhimself and God, implore mercy from the Ocean of mercy,\nbeg forgiveness from the Heaven of generosity and say:\nO God, my God! I implore Thee by the blood of Thy true\nlovers who were so enraptured by Thy sweet utterance that\nthey hastened unto the Pinnacle of Glory, the site of the most\nglorious martyrdom, and I beseech Thee by the mysteries\nwhich lie enshrined in Thy knowledge and by the pearls that\nare treasured in the ocean of Thy bounty to grant forgiveness\nunto me and unto my father and my mother. Of those who\nshow forth mercy, Thou art in truth the Most Merciful. No\nGod is there but Thee, the Ever-Forgiving, the All-Bountiful.\nO Lord! Thou seest this essence of sinfulness turning\nunto the ocean of Thy favour and this feeble one seeking the\nkingdom of Thy divine power and this poor creature\ninclining himself towards the day-star of Thy wealth. By\nThy mercy and Thy grace, disappoint him not, O Lord, nor\ndebar him from the revelations of Thy bounty in Thy days,\nnor cast him away from Thy door which Thou has opened\nwide to all that dwell in Thy heaven and on Thine earth.\nAlas! Alas! My sins have prevented me from approaching\nthe Court of Thy holiness and my trespasses have caused me\nto stray far from the Tabernacle of Thy majesty. I have\ncommitted that which Thou didst forbid me to do and have\nput away what Thou didst ordain me to observe.\nI pray Thee by Him Who is the sovereign Lord of Names\nto write down for me with the Pen of Thy bounty that\nwhich will enable me to draw nigh unto thee and will purge\nme from my trespasses which have intervened between me\nand Thy forgiveness and Thy pardon.\nVerily, Thou art the Potent, the Bountiful. No God is\nthere but Thee, the Mighty, the Gracious.(10) <p355>\nAnother practice denounced by Baha'u'llah in the Kitab-i-Aqdas and one that is repugnant to Him is that of using religion and the worship of God for one's own self-advancement. In the past, countless men have used the cloak of religion in order to gain leadership. Some ambitious people posed as holy men in order to win the respect of the community. In this day too there are many who are doing the same. Today the real meanings of piety and holiness have been lost, and instead these words have often become the trademark for the hypocrite disguised in the garb of religion, pretending to be a holy man, while his deeds and private life vastly differ from his words.\nFor instance, in Persia, the cradle of the Faith of Baha'u'llah, many people have been led to believe that one of the signs of spirituality and holiness is for a religious leader to be muttering the words of the Qur'an as he walks among the public. Often the clergy are seen in the streets to be moving their lips, pretending to be reciting prayers. Baha'u'llah has forbidden this practice in the Kitab-i-Aqdas. Another form of hypocrisy current among many people in Persia in the early days of the Faith was to force a permanent impression of a small prayer tile[1] on their foreheads in order to advertise their piety to the public. When the ignorant and the fanatic gazed upon one's swollen forehead, they were carried away in adoration of a so-called holy man who had spent so much of his time in prayer prostrating himself so frequently upon the hard prayer tile that a callous had formed on his forehead! Although there must be many religious people who with pure motive live a goodly life, yet the hypocrisy associated with those who pose as pious and holy is widespread.\n[1 The faithful Muslim praying in the mosque performs certain genuflections. One of these is prostration, when the worshipper lies with face to the ground as a token of submission and humility. There is a custom among Shi'ah Muslims when they lie prostrate, to place their foreheads upon a small tile supposed to be made of holy dust gathered from the vicinity of one of their shrines.] <p356>\nIn His teachings, Baha'u'llah places paramount importance upon purity of motive and sincerity in one's thoughts and actions. In the Kitab-i-Aqdas He enumerates some of the virtues that must adorn a human soul:\nAdorn your heads with the garlands of trustworthiness and\nfidelity, your hearts with the attire of the Fear of God, your\ntongues with absolute truthfulness, your bodies with the\nvesture of courtesy. These are in truth seemly adornings\nunto the temple of man, if ye be of them that reflect. Cling,\nO ye people of Baha, to the cord of servitude unto God, the\nTrue One, for thereby your stations shall be made manifest,\nyour names written and preserved, your ranks raised and\nyour memory exalted in the Preserved Tablet. Beware lest\nthe dwellers on earth hinder you from this glorious and\nexalted station. Thus have We exhorted you in most of our\nEpistles and now in this, Our Holy Tablet, above which\nhath beamed the Day-star of the Laws of the Lord, your\nGod, the Powerful, the All-Wise.(11)\nIn the Hidden Words, He rebukes the 'ulama in these words:\nO ye that are foolish, yet have a name to be wise! Wherefore\ndo ye wear the guise of shepherds, when inwardly ye have\nbecome wolves, intent upon My flock? Ye are even as the\nstar, which riseth ere the dawn, and which, though it seem\nradiant and luminous, leadeth the wayfarers of My city\nastray into the paths of perdition.(12)\nO ye seeming fair yet inwardly foul! Ye are like clear but\nbitter water, which to outward seeming is crystal pure but\nof which, when tested by the divine Assayer, not a drop is\naccepted. Yea, the sun beam falls alike upon the dust and the\nmirror, yet differ they in reflection even as doth the star\nfrom the earth: nay, immeasurable is the difference!(13)\nIn another passage He indicates that in this Dispensation nothing but pure deeds will be acceptable to God:\nO my friends! Quench ye the lamp of error, and kindle\nwithin your hearts the everlasting torch of divine guidance. <p357>\nFor ere long the assayers of mankind shall, in the holy\npresence of the Adored, accept naught but purest virtue and\ndeeds of stainless holiness.(14)\nHealth and Medicine: Lawh-i-Tibb (Tablet of Medicine) In the Kitab-i-Aqdas Baha'u'llah states that God has created the means for the achievement of everything in this life. He urges the people to use them. For instance, He directs His followers to consult a skilled physician when ill. In this example medicine is the means by which an ill person may recover from his illness. Similarly, there are means through which man may overcome his poverty, ignorance, or any other problem.\nOf course, prayer plays an important part in the life of man, but prayer without action has little or no effect at all. The two must go hand-in-hand. By adhering to the means for achieving a goal, and by drawing on the power of God through prayer, one's efforts will become crowned with success. The sick person should follow the advice of a skilled physician by taking the remedy, and at the same time praying for healing.\nBaha'u'llah has clearly stated that through prayer the sick person may recover from his illness, and has revealed several healing prayers; but He has not made the spiritual approach to healing an alternative to a doctor's prescription. In order to emphasize this point Baha'u'llah, in most cases, ordered His companions to seek the advice of a doctor when they were ill, rather than healing them through His divine powers. He also told them to pray for the sick person and when the members of His own family were taken ill, He asked for a doctor to come.\nIt must also be pointed out that while Baha'u'llah emphasizes the importance of prayers for the sick, He does not advocate any other method of spiritual healing such as those practised by faith healers or similar practitioners. In answer to a question by an individual, Shoghi Effendi writes through his secretary: <p358>\nThere is no such thing as Baha'i healers or a Baha'i type of\nhealing. In His Most Holy Book (the Aqdas) Baha'u'llah\nsays to consult the best physicians, in other words, doctors\nwho have studied a scientific system of medicine; he never\ngave us to believe that He himself would heal us through\n'healers', but rather through prayer and the assistance of\nmedicine and approved treatments.(15)\nBaha'u'llah teaches that the science of medicine and the art of healing must be developed. 'Abdu'l-Baha has stated that the science of medicine will be so perfected in the future that most diseases will be treated with foods, herbs and natural remedies. Although it is not the main mission of Baha'u'llah to give guidance on matters dealing with food and health--a role which must be played by science in this age--He has nevertheless given some basic advice about diet and hygiene.\nIn the Tablet known as the Lawh-i-Tibb (Tablet of Medicine) revealed in honour of Aqa Mirza Muhammad-Riday-i-Tabib, a physician from Yazd, Baha'u'llah advocates medical treatment when it is necessary, recommends treating the patient first through diet and resorting to medicine if the former proves ineffective. In this Tablet He enumerates some of the basic prescriptions for good health and gives some dietary advice.[1] He also stresses the importance of contentment under all circumstances for good health, asserts that grief and sorrow will cause man the greatest misery and warns that jealousy will consume the body while anger will burn the liver.\n[1 These counsels are not discussed here because they would open up some important medical subjects which are beyond the scope and purpose of this book.]\nIn this Tablet, Baha'u'llah exhorts the physician to heal the patient by first turning to God and seeking His assistance, and then prescribing the remedy. He affirms that a physician who has recognized Him and has become filled with His love will exert such an influence that his mere visit will restore health to the patient.\nIndeed Aqa Mirza Muhammad-Rida, for whom this Tablet <p359> was revealed, lived up to these high ideals. Of him, Haji Muhammad Tahir-i-Malmiri writes:\nOne of the early believers who embraced the Faith when\nSiyyid Yahyay-i-Darabi, known as Vahid,[1] came to Yazd,\nwas Aqa Mirza Muhammad-Riday-i-Tabib. He was a\nskilled and distinguished physician, and an embodiment of\ngrace and steadfastness. The Pen of the Most High revealed\nthe Lawh-i-Tibb in his honour. In that exalted Tablet,\nBaha'u'llah states that the mere visit of a physician who has\ndrunk deep of the wine of His love will cure the patient.\nMirza Muhammad-Rida was truly the fulfilment of these\nwords of Baha'u'llah. He used to cure the patient by\nadministering very simple remedies. Truly, he possessed\nwonderful qualities which made him a very special person in\nthe community of the Most Great Name. Owing to his\nintense piety he became highly disturbed when Mirza\nYahya broke the Covenant. As a result he was bewildered\nand stunned; he even became hesitant in the Cause for a\nshort time. Then it was as though Divine Providence sent\nMulla Zaynu'l-'Abidin, a native of Najafabad (he was\nentitled by Baha'u'llah as Zaynu'l-Muqarribin[2] to Yazd in\norder to calm his agitation and dispel his doubts. Zaynu'l-Muqarribin\nat first stayed in the house of this servant in the\ndistrict of Malamir, but when he learned of the intense\nanguish and distress that Mirza Muhammad-Rida was\nsubjected to, he changed his residence and stayed in his\nhome instead. Consequently, Mirza Muhammad-Rida\nbecame fully aware of the circumstances of the Revelation\nof Baha'u'llah.[3] He later received many Tablets from the\nPen of the Most High, and served the Faith of Baha'u'llah\nwith devotion and love till the end of his life. He was about\neighty years old when he passed away.(16)\n[1 See vol. 1, Appendix III.]\n[3 In the early days of the Faith, in the absence of proper communication the Babis were easily misled by rumours and false propaganda. There was nothing more assuring than meeting those who were truly learned and had first-hand knowledge of the Revelation of Baha'u'llah.] <p360>\nIn the Lawh-i-Tibb Baha'u'llah praises the science of medicine as being the most meritorious of all sciences, and states that it is the means which God has created for the well-being of mankind. And it is at the end of this Tablet that He reveals one of His most celebrated healing prayers:\nThy Name is my healing, O my God, and remembrance of\nThee is my remedy. Nearness to Thee is my hope, and love\nfor Thee is my companion. Thy mercy to me is my healing\nand my succour in both this world and the world to come.\nThou, verily, art the All-Bountiful, the All-Knowing, the\nAlso in this Tablet Baha'u'llah states the importance of courage and steadfastness in His Cause as well as wisdom in teaching it. He categorically affirms that if the believers had faithfully carried out His commandments, the majority of the peoples of the world would have embraced His Faith in His days.\nNo reference to medicine and its role in healing would be complete without mentioning the power of the Holy Spirit which is exclusive to the Manifestations of God, a power that can heal without any physical means. This is the power that Christ possessed and that Baha'u'llah manifested fully in this day. There were many occasions when Baha'u'llah or 'Abdu'l-Baha, upon whom the same powers were conferred, brought miraculous healing to a person when doctors had failed.\nAlthough Baha'u'llah has forbidden His followers to attribute miracles to Him, nevertheless there are many accounts left to posterity by His disciples,. describing the circumstances in which He either healed incurables or raised the dead. We have described one such case in the previous volume.[1] But none of these supernatural acts were considered by His followers to be a proof of the truth of His Cause, as otherwise this would amount to the degradation of His exalted station.\n[1 See vol. 1, pp. 290-91.] <p361>\n'Abdu'l-Baha also possessed this power. Dr Yunis Khan,[1] a distinguished and trusted secretary of 'Abdu'l-Baha and one of the Heralds of the Covenant of Baha'u'llah, writes an interesting account in his memoirs. The following is a summary of his reminiscences:\n[1 For a brief account of his life and service to the Cause see The Bah\u0087'\u0092 World, vol. XII, pp. 679-81. The title 'Herald of the Covenant' was sometimes given by 'Abdu'l-Baha and Shoghi Effendi to outstanding promoters of the Covenant.]\nI heard 'Abdu'l-Baha many times speaking about the subject\nof medicine: He used to say that Jinab-i-Kalim\n(Baha'u'llah's faithful brother) was very knowledgeable in\nherbal medicine and used to practise it. In the early days\n'Abdu'l-Baha also used to prescribe medicine to those who\ncame to him for healing. But later Baha'u'llah directed Him\nnot to prescribe for patients, so that the believers might turn\nto the medical profession and not form the habit of seeking\nmedical advice from unqualified people. This advice was\ngiven by Baha'u'llah so that His injunction in the Kitab-i-Aqdas\nto consult a skilled physician might be realized.\nAlthough we all knew that because of this particular\ncommandment in the Kitab-i-Aqdas, 'Abdu'l-Baha, the\nhealer of spiritual ills, would not consent to prescribe for a\nphysical sickness, yet whenever the doctor's treatment\nfailed to cure, the patient used to turn to the Master and beg\nfor healing from the One who was the Healer of all ills. And\nsince the compassionate nature of 'Abdu'l-Baha was such\nthat He could not withhold help from an individual who\nturned to Him, in such cases He would, as a matter of\nprinciple, employ some means to cure the patient. This He\ndid by offering some remedy and thus conferring healing on\nthe individual. More surprising is the fact that whereas the\nbelievers acted with some restraint, the non-Baha'i public\nwho were not aware of the real situation used to come to\nHim for healing more often, and none of them left feeling\nOne of the remedial means which was at 'Abdu'l-Baha's\ndisposal and which He offered to many a sick person, was a <p362>\ndelicious sauce made from pomegranates. The fruit had\nbeen grown in the Garden of Ridvan in 'Akka. To whomsoever\n'Abdu'l-Baha gave this sauce, whether a believer or a\nnon-Baha',, He would say that the pomegranates had\ngrown on trees in the Garden of Ridvan, trees which had\nbeen blessed by Baha'u'llah's eyes. But what were the\ncircumstances which produced healing? Was it an inherent\nnature of the patient to be cured, was the cure the result of\ntaking the sauce, or was it purely through the will of\n'Abdu'l-Baha? I do not know the answer, but one thing I\nknow that it was proved time and time again that this\ndelicious fruit sauce was the remedy for many an illness!\nThis was one of the topics often discussed among the\nbelievers in the Pilgrim House.\nAnother prescription which 'Abdu'l-Baha gave to some\nwas that of fasting or cutting down on certain foods. But\nthere was another method which 'Abdu'l-Baha, the healer\nof man's spiritual ills, would use. And that was healing\nwithout any means... Once I was cured by Him without\nany material means. This is the story:\nDuring the time that Dr. Arastu Khan was in 'Akka and\nstaying in the Pilgrim House, I became ill... Although this\nillness lasted for a long time and the pain was intolerable, I\ndid not ask 'Abdu'l-Baha for a cure. Instead Dr. Arastu\nKhan treated me and used all the tricks he knew. But I was\nno better... One night I experienced an excruciating pain\nwhich was beyond endurance. All the pilgrims who heard\nmy groaning became so weary that although it was two\nhours after midnight, we all agreed to despatch Aqa\nMuhammad-Hasan, the caretaker of the Pilgrim House, to\nthe house of the Master, and beg for healing. This was done.\nI do not know whether His blessed Person was asleep or\nawake at the time. The only thing I know is that when Aqa\nMuhammad-Hasan had returned, I was in a deep sleep.\nWhen I woke up in the afternoon, there was no pain, and in\nthe evening I felt able to walk. For about twenty-five days I\nhad been ill and the last few days confined to bed. During\nthis period I had been deprived of attaining the presence of\nthe Master. So I walked slowly towards His house. I met <p363>\nHim on the road where I attained His presence. He asked\nabout my health and showered His bounties and grace upon\nme. I felt it was an opportune moment to beg Him to grant\nme complete recovery. This I did. He said, 'Very well, but\nyou ought to have a blood-letting operation, either by using\na cupping-glass or by phlebotomy.'[1]\n[1 The cupping-glass is an old method of blood-letting. A cut is made in some part of the body, usually in the back, then bleeding takes place by applying a glass vessel with open mouth to the skin and forming a partial vacuum which helps to suck the blood out. Phlebotomy is another old method of blood-letting by cutting the vein.]\nThe word cupping-glass frightened me, and like a spoiled\nchild, I pulled up my shoulders and screwed up my face,\nmeaning that I could not bear a knife or a cupping glass!\nSeeing me in this mode, He said in an amused voice, 'Good\ngracious, man, I want to send you to face the swords of the\nenemies and you are afraid of a cupping-glass!'\nBeing outspoken and known for my blabbing habits, I\nventured to say jokingly, 'When that happens, God will\nshow his benevolence to me! But if I wanted to use the\ncupping-glass as a means of recovery, why would I come to\nyour presence and beg for healing from you?' He smiled...\nand that was the final remedy for me. I was healed without\nany material means.(17)\nOne of Baha'u'llah's injunctions in the Kitab-i-Aqdas is immaculate cleanliness. He calls on His followers to become the embodiment of purity among the peoples of the world. Although this commandment of Baha'u'llah relates to physical cleanliness, and therefore is conducive to man's dignity and distinction, it exerts an appreciable influence on his spiritual state. For outward cleanliness is a sign of spiritual purity and liveliness. In every stage of His life, whether in prison or in freedom, 'Abdu'l-Baha, the Exemplar of the Teachings of Baha'u'llah, lived up to this important teaching. One of His striking features to which friends and foes have paid glowing tribute, was His spotless cleanliness and His outward appearance. <p364>\nIn His Writings Baha'u'llah has enjoined upon His followers spotless chastity for both men and women. In the Kitab-i-Aqdas He reiterates this important moral issue. At a time when the forces of irreligion are sweeping across the world and standards of morality are declining, the teachings of Baha'u'llah on chastity shine as a light in darkness. The exhortations in the following passages gleaned from one of His Tablets demonstrate the highest standard of morality which He inculcates in His followers:\nSay, he is not to be numbered with the people of Baha who\nfolloweth his mundane desires, or fixeth his heart on things\nof the earth. He is my true follower who, if he come to a\nvalley of pure gold will pass straight through it aloof as a\ncloud, and will neither turn back, nor pause. Such a man is\nassuredly of Me. From his garment the Concourse on high\ncan inhale the fragrance of sanctity... And if he met the\nfairest and most comely of women, he would not feel his\nheart seduced by the least shadow of desire for her beauty\nSuch an one indeed is the creation of spotless chastity. Thus\ninstructeth you the Pen of the Ancient of Days, as bidden by\nyour Lord, the Almighty, the All-Bountiful.(18)\nHaving surveyed the Writings of Baha'u'llah, Shoghi Effendi, the Guardian of the Baha'i Faith, has summarized some of Baha'u'llah's teachings on this subject. These are his conclusions:\nA chaste and holy life must be made the controlling\nprinciple in the behaviour and conduct of all Baha'is, both in\ntheir social relations with the members of their own\ncommunity, and in their contact with the world at large. It\nmust adorn and reinforce the ceaseless labours and\nmeritorious exertions of those whose enviable position is to\npropagate the Message, and to administer the affairs, of the\nFath of Baha'u'llah. It must be upheld, in all its integrity\nand Implications, in every phase of the life of those who fill\nthe ranks of that Faith, whether in their homes, their travels,\ntheir clubs, their societies, their entertainments, their <p365>\nschools, and their universities. It must be accorded special\nconsideration in the conduct of the social activities of every\nBaha'i summer school and any other occasions on which\nBaha'i community life is organized and fostered. It must be\nclosely and continually identified with the mission of the\nBaha'i Youth, both as an element in the life of the Baha'i\ncommunity, and as a factor in the future progress and\norientation of the youth of their own country.\nSuch a chaste and holy life, with its implications of modesty,\npurity, temperance, decency, and clean-mindedness, involves\nno less than the exercise of moderation in all that\npertains to dress, language, amusements, and all artistic and\nliterary avocations. It demands daily vigilance in the control\nof one's carnal desires and corrupt inclinations. It calls for\nthe abandonment of a frivolous conduct, with its excessive\nattachment to trivial and often misdirected pleasures. It\nrequires total abstinence from all alcoholic drinks, from\nopium, and from similar habit-forming drugs. It condemns\nthe prostitution of art and of literature, the practices of\nnudism and of companionate marriage, infidelity in marital\nrelationships, and all manner of promiscuity, of easy familiarity,\nand of sexual vices. It can tolerate no compromise\nwith the theories, the standards, the habits, and the excesses\nof a decadent age. Nay rather it seeks to demonstrate, through\nthe dynamic force of its example, the pernicious character of\nsuch theories, the falsity of such standards, the hollowness\nof such claims, the perversity of such habits, and the sacrilegious\ncharacter of such excesses.(19)\nBaha'u'llah has encouraged the people to enter into matrimony and has affirmed it to be a cause of well-being and unity among the children of men. In the Kitab-i-Aqdas He states:\nEnter into wedlock, O people, that ye may bring forth one\nwho will make mention of Me...(20) <p366>\nAs indicated in this passage, the main purpose of marriage according to Baha'i teachings is procreation.\nTo promote unity and avoid disagreement between families, Baha'u'llah has ordained that after the consent of both parties which is an essential element in marriage, the couple must obtain the consent of their natural parents as well. Without the latter a Baha'i marriage cannot take place. The Baha'i marriage ceremony is a very simple and moving experience. At present it is conducted under the auspices of Spiritual Assemblies.\nBaha'i teachings emphasize that a true marriage is one that creates a union between man and wife on both the physical and the spiritual levels. Such a marriage becomes an eternal partnership and brings happiness and joy to the hearts.\n'Abdu'l-Baha in one of His Tablets writes:\nMarriage, among the mass of the people, is a physical bond,\nand this union can only be temporary, since it is foredoomed\nto a physical separation at the close.\nAmong the people of Baha, however, marriage must be a\nunion of the body and of the spirit as well, for here both\nhusband and wife are aglow with the same wine, both are\nenamoured of the same matchless Face, both live and move\nthrough the same spirit, both are illumined by the same\nglory. This connection between them is a spiritual one,\nhence it is a bond that will abide forever. Likewise do they\nenjoy strong and lasting ties in the physical world as well,\nfor if the marriage is based both on the spirit and the body,\nthat union is a true one, hence it will endure. If, however,\nthe bond is physical and nothing more, it is sure to be only\ntemporary, and must inexorably end in separation.\nWhen, therefore, the people of Baha undertake to marry,\nthe union must be a true relationship, a spiritual coming\ntogether as well as a physical one, so that throughout every\nphase of life, and in all the worlds of God, their union will\nendure; for this real oneness is a gleaming out of the love of\nGod.(21)\nAnd again: <p367>\nBaha'i marriage is the commitment of the two parties one to\nthe other, and their mutual attachment of mind and heart.\nEach must, however, exercise the utmost care to become\nthoroughly acquainted with the character of the other, that\nthe binding covenant between them may be a tie that will\nendure forever. Their purpose must be this: to become\nloving companions and comrades and at one with each other\nfor time and eternity...\nThe true marriage of Baha'is is this, that the husband and\nwife should be united both physically and spiritually, that\nthey may ever improve the spiritual life of each other, and\nmay enjoy everlasting unity throughout all the worlds of\nGod. This is Baha'i marriage.(22)\nMusic: 'Spiritual Food of the Hearts and Souls'\nIn Islamic communities music had been condemned by the clergy because they considered it to be conducive to pleasure and leading man to lust. In Persia, during the early days of the Faith, musicians were denounced by religious leaders as agents of Satan. The stigma attached to music was so distasteful that musicians had to hide their instruments in public. At weddings, for instance, people had to observe some religious rites in the presence of the clergy. But it was a well-known secret that the musicians were waiting in another room and when the Mulla's performance was finished and he had left, they came out to play their instruments and make merry.\nThe following story serves to illustrate the severity with which the clergy dealt with anyone who indulged in this art.\nIn the bazaars in Persia there are shops selling kebab. The meat was placed on a wooden board and had to be chopped and then minced with a very large and heavy chopping knife which usually had to be held by its two ends. When the chopping knife hit the meat on the board, it made a loud noise. In a busy shop at least one man would be engaged from morning till night doing this work.\nThere was a man in the city of Yazd who was working in this <p368> capacity in such a shop, but he was a merry man at heart and loved music, so as he hit the board he cleverly used to produce a rhythm. Though not more than a mere thumping sound, it was attractive to the ear. This, combined with the rhythmic movement of his body, made an interesting spectacle for the passer-by. For some time there was controversy over this man and his way of mincing the meat! Eventually, one of the mujtahids[1] of Yazd decided to put an end to this sacrilegious act! The poor man was summoned and warned that he would be severely punished if he continued this practice.\n[1 Doctor of Islamic law.]\nWithin such a society, Baha'u'llah declares in the Kitab-i-Aqdas that music is a means by which the spirit of man may experience upliftment and joy. These are His words in that Book:\nWe have permitted you to listen to music and singing.\nBeware lest such listening cause you to transgress the\nbounds of decency and dignity. Rejoice in the joy of My\nMost Great Name through which the hearts are enchanted\nand the minds of the well-favoured are attracted.\nWe have made music a ladder by which souls may ascend\nto the realm on high. Change it not into wings for self and\npassion. I seek refuge in God that you be not of the\nignorant.(23)\n'Abdu'l-Baha too has praised music and singing, in several Tablets. In one of these He writes:\nThis wonderful age has rent asunder the veils of superstition\nand has condemned the prejudice of the people of the East.\nAmong some of the nations of the Orient, music and\nharmony was not approved of, but the Manifested Light\nBaha'u'llah, in this glorious period has revealed in Holy\nTablets that singing and music are the spiritual food of the\nhearts and souls. In this dispensation, music is one of the\narts that is highly approved and is considered to be the cause\nof the exaltation of sad and desponding hearts. <p369>\nTherefore... set to music the verses and the divine words\nso that they may be sung with soul-stirring melody in the\nAssemblies and gatherings, and that the hearts of the\nlisteners may become tumultuous and rise towards the\nKingdom of Abha in supplication and prayer.(24)\n'That No One Should Exalt Himself over the Other'\nIn the Kitab-i-Aqdas Baha'u'llah censures in very strong terms all acts of strife, contention and violence. He absolutely forbids His followers to engage in anything from which the odour of mischief and sedition can be detected. He counsels them never to sow the seeds of dissension or to foment discord among men. Baha'u'llah's commandments in this respect are uncompromising. He categorically states that any mischief-maker or stirrer-up of sedition is not of Him and cannot claim allegiance to His Cause.\nBaha'u'llah enjoins love and unity towards the peoples of the world regardless of their background. In the Kitab-i-Aqdas, He reveals these words:\nConsort with all religions with amity and concord, that they\nmay inhale from you the sweet fragrance of God. Beware\nlest amidst men the flame of foolish ignorance overpower\nyou. All things proceed from God and unto Him they\nreturn. He is the source of all things and in Him all things\nare ended.(25)\nAnd in the same book Baha'u'llah warns His followers not to show pride or haughtiness to anyone, and reminds them that all humanity has come into being from the same substance, and that all shall return to dust. He urges them therefore not to prefer themselves to their neighbours, nor to wish for others what they do not wish for themselves.\nOne of Baha'u'llah's prohibitions in the Kitab-i-Aqdas is slave trading. For thousands of years people took slaves. With the <p370> coming of Baha'u'llah, however, God released in the world the forces of unity, and proclaimed the equality of human rights. These have now become the spirit of the age and humanity has come a long way during the last hundred years, abandoning the age-long practice of slavery. In forbidding slavery, Baha'u'llah in the Kitab-i-Aqdas simply states that it is not proper for a man to buy another man. For all are the servants of the one true God and are equal in His sight.\nIn the Hidden Words Baha'u'llah thus admonishes the peoples of the world:\nO Children of Men! Know ye not why We created you all\nfrom the same dust? That no one should exalt himself over\nthe other. Ponder at all times in your hearts how ye were\ncreated. Since We have created you all from one same\nsubstance it is incumbent on you to be even as one soul, to\nwalk with the same feet, eat with the same mouth and dwell\nin the same land, that from your inmost being, by your\ndeeds and actions, the signs of oneness and the essence of\ndetachment may be made manifest. Such is My counsel to\nyou. O concourse of light! Heed ye this counsel that ye may\nobtain the fruit of holiness from the tree of wondrous\nglory.(26)\nO Brethren! Be forbearing one with another and set not\nyour affection on things below. Pride not yourselves in\nyour glory, and be not ashamed of abasement. By My\nbeauty! I have created all things from dust, and to dust will I\nreturn them again.(27) <p371>\n5. The Covenant of Baha'u'llah\nIn several passages in the Kitab-i-Aqdas Baha'u'llah prepared His followers for the time when He would depart from this world and, in His own words, ascend to His 'other dominions, whereon the eyes of the people of names have never fallen'.(1) In two of these passages there is a clear indication that after Him, the faithful must turn to the Centre of His Covenant:\nWhen the Mystic Dove will have winged its flight from its\nSanctuary of Praise and sought its far-off goal, its hidden\nhabitation, refer ye whatsoever ye understand not in the\nBook to Him Who hath branched from this mighty Stock.(2)\nWhen the ocean of My presence hath ebbed and the Book of\nMy Revelation is ended, turn your faces toward Him\nWhom God hath purposed, Who hath branched from this\nAncient Root.(3)\nAlthough Baha'u'llah did not explicitly identify the Centre of His Covenant in either of these passages in the Kitab-i-Aqdas, there was no doubt in the minds of the believers that Baha'u'llah was referring to no other person than 'Abdu'l-Baha. Baha'u'llah made this appointment clear when He quoted the above verse in His Will and Testament known as the Book of His Covenant, and stated that it referred to the Most Great Branch ('Abdu'l-Baha).[1]\n[1 The Covenant of Baha'u'llah and its Centre, 'Abdu'l-Baha, will be further discussed in the next volume.] <p372>\nIn another passage in the Kitab-i-Aqdas concerning his ascension,[1] Baha'u'llah assures His loved ones of His unfailing support and confirmation in these words:\n[1 Baha'is often refer to the passing of Baha'u'llah as His ascension. This signifies the ascension of His Spirit to the spiritual realms of God.]\nLet not your hearts be perturbed, O people, when the glory\nof My Presence is withdrawn, and the ocean of My\nutterance is stilled. In My presence amongst you there is a\nwisdom, and in My absence there is yet another, inscrutable\nto all but God, the Incomparable, the All-Knowing. Verily,\nWe behold you from Our realm of glory, and shall aid\nwhosoever will arise for the triumph of Our Cause with the\nhosts of the Concourse on high and a company of Our\nfavoured angels.(4)\nNot only did Baha'u'llah allude in the Kitab-i-Aqdas to the One who would be His immediate successor, but by implication He, in that same book, anticipated the institution of the Guardianship.[1] Although the following passage in the Kitab-i-Aqdas is about Huququ'llah,[2] it indicates the pattern of the unfoldment of the Faith of Baha'u'llah.\n[1 For more information about the institution of the Guardianship see The Will and Testament of 'Abdu'l-Baha, and Shoghi Effendi, The Dispensation of Baha'u'llah.]\n[2 See p. 73n.]\nThe endowments dedicated to charity revert to God, the\nRevealer of Signs. No one has the right to lay hold on them\nwithout leave from the Dawning-Place of Revelation. After\nHim the decision rests with the Aghsan (Branches), and\nafter them with the House of Justice--should it be\nestablished in the world by then--so that they may use\nthese endowments for the benefit of the Sites exalted in this\nCause, and for that which they have been commanded by\nGod, the Almighty, the All-Powerful. Otherwise the\nendowments should be referred to the people of Baha, who\nspeak not without His leave and who pass no judgment but\nin accordance with that which God has ordained in this <p373>\nTablet, they who are the champions of victory betwixt\nheaven and earth, so that they may spend them on that\nwhich has been decreed in the Holy Book by God, the\nMighty, the Bountiful.(5)\nThe word Aghsan (plural of Ghusn), literally means 'branches'. This word was exclusively used by Baha'u'llah to refer to His male descendants. In the above passage this word is used in the plural which indicates that there would be more than one Ghusn in His Dispensation who would become the Centre of the Cause. It turned out to be two, 'Abdu'l-Baha and Shoghi Effendi, the Guardian of the Faith. In this passage there is a striking indication that there will be a break in the line of the Aghsan. It also makes provision for the eventuality that this line might end before the House of Justice had been instituted--a situation which actually took place after the passing of Shoghi Effendi in 1957. For a little over five years the Hands of the Cause of God managed the affairs of the Baha'i community as custodians of the Faith, and in 1963 the Universal House of Justice came into being and took over the reins of the Cause of God.\nThere is a moving passage in the Kitab-i-Aqdas addressed to Baha'u'llah's unfaithful half-brother Mirza Yahya. He had been brought under the shadow of the Faith of the Bab at an early age by Baha'u'llah. He was cared for by Baha'u'llah at every stage of his youth, so that he might serve the Cause of God with devotion and sincerity. But, alas, his lust for leadership induced him to break the Covenant of the Bab and rise up in opposition against the Supreme Manifestation of God. We have already described in previous volumes his rise and fall, as well as the unbearable sufferings that he inflicted upon Baha'u'llah.\nIn spite of the harrowing afflictions that the Blessed Beauty suffered at the hand of this half-brother, He, in the Kitab-i-Aqdas, reminds Mirza Yahya of the early days of his life when <p374> He, as a token of His bounty, nurtured him so that he might become a worthy instrument for the service of the Cause. He asks him to call to mind the times when he used to be summoned to stand before Baha'u'llah and take down the verses of God which were revealed by Him, counsels him to return to God after his shameful rebellion against His Manifestation, and assures him that God would forgive all his iniquities should he now repent and beg forgiveness from Him.\nThese words fell on deaf ears, and Mirza Yahya, in spite of losing the support of his master, Siyyid Muhammad-i-Isfahani, remained unrepentant. He outlived Baha'u'llah by several years and after witnessing the rising prestige of the Faith of Baha'u'llah and the diffusion of its light in the Western world, he died ignominiously on the island of Cyprus in 1912.\nOne of the most important teachings of Baha'u'llah, perhaps the most important, is that He has strictly forbidden His followers to interpret His words. In the Kitab-i-Aqdas He reveals:\nWhoso interpreteth what hath been sent down from the\nheaven of Revelation, and altereth its evident meaning, he,\nverily, is of them that have perverted the Sublime Word of\nGod, and is of the lost ones in the Lucid Book.(6)\nIn other Tablets too He has clearly indicated that no one has the right to interpret, modify or alter His words. As we have already stated, 'Abdu'l-Baha is the authoritative Interpreter of Baha'u'llah's words and so is Shoghi Effendi. The reason that this is the most important teaching of Baha'u'llah is that every schism in older religions was caused, in the first place, by differences of interpretation among their leaders.\nIn an attempt to highlight some of the distinguishing features of Baha'i teachings, especially those which are not to be found in other religions, the outstanding Baha'i scholar Mirza Abu'l-Fadl outlines nine teachings and briefly dwells on <p375> each, presumably in their order of importance. The first two relate to this subject. This is a translation of his words:\nFirst, a command which is particularly a feature of the Baha'i\nreligion and is not found in the other religion is 'abstaining\nfrom crediting verbal traditions.' It is well known to men of\nlearning that it was verbal tradition which divided the Jews\ninto two great sects. Such traditions are the basis of the book\nof Talmud, and caused the division of that one nation...\nSimilarly in the Christian religion the main cause of\nschism and division were these verbal traditions which were\ntermed 'authoritative'. Each one of the Christian churches,\nsuch as the Catholic, the Orthodox, the Jacobite, the\nNestorian and others consider it obligatory to follow these\ntraditions inherited from and handed down by the fathers of\nthe Church, as the very text of the Holy Book...\nLikewise in the religion of Islam, claiming these verbal\ntraditions which were related of the Founder of that\nreligion, subsequent to His death, was the cause of the\ndivision and separation into various of the principal sects.\nEach of these hold to a set of traditions considered as\nauthentic by their own sect.\nBut BAHA'O'LLAH closed to the people of the world this\ndoor which is the greatest means for sedition; for He has\nclearly announced that 'in the religion of God all recorded\nmatters are referable to the Book and all unrecorded matters\nare dependent upon the decision of the House of Justice.'\nThus all narrations, relations and verbal traditions have\nbeen discredited among the Baha'i people and the door of\ndissension, which is the greatest among the doors of hell,\nhas been closed and locked\nSecond: One of the laws and ordinances peculiar to the\nBaha'i religion is the law prohibiting the interpreting of the\nWord of God. For interpretation of the Words and\nexposition of personal opinion has been one of the greatest\nmeans of dissension in the former religions, the cause of\ndarkening of the horizon of faith and concealing the real\nmeaning of the Book of God.\nIt is an evident fact that learned men differ in their minds, <p376>\nand the natural gifts of sagacity and intelligence or the lack\nof understanding and comprehension vary in degrees\namong them. Thus when the door of interpretation and\nperverting of the Words from their outward meaning is\nopened, strange opinions and curious contradictory\ninterpretations will result and different sects will arise\namong the one people and one religious community.\nConsequently BAHA'O'LLAH has explicitly commanded\nHis followers to wholly abandon the door of interpretation\nand follow the Words revealed in the Tablets according to\ntheir outward meaning, so that the events which have\ntranspired among the past nations should not recur among\nthe Baha'i people and the unwelcome happenings which\nappeared among the various sects due to difference in\nmentality and viewpoint should not become manifest in this\nnew auspicious day, which is the day of the glorious Lord.(7)\nOur Part in the Covenant\nThe progress of the Cause of Baha'u'llah is dependent upon the actions of the believers. Every pure deed attracts the confirmations of Baha'u'llah which in turn bring victory to the Cause. But without the individual taking the step, God's assistance cannot reach the Baha'i community This is one of the irrevocable laws of the Covenant of God. This Covenant has two sides, God's and man's. God's part of the Covenant cannot be confused with man's part. God pours out His bounties and grace upon man, but man must make the necessary move to receive them. Without him opening his heart and submitting himself, the gifts and bounties of God cannot reach him. In the Hidden Words Baha'u'llah has laid down the law of this Covenant in these words:\nLove Me, that I may love thee. If thou lovest Me not, My\nlove can in no wise reach thee. Know this, O servant.(8)\nIt may be said that in this Dispensation God has given us two things out of His bounty. One is the Revelation of <p377> Baha'u'llah; the other, derived from the former, is the person of 'Abdu'l-Baha who became the repository of that Revelation, the Centre of the Covenant, as well as Shoghi Effendi, the Guardian of His Cause. These two, the gifts of God to man in this age, constitute the side of the Covenant pertaining to God. It is through these two sources that God's bountiful favours are bestowed upon humanity in this age.\nThe part that man has to play is to recognize Baha'u'llah as the Manifestation of God, then obey His Teachings. When the individual achieves this, he has fulfilled his side of the Covenant with God. It is then that his faith, his obedience to the commandments of God and his living the life as a Baha'i will attract bountiful confirmations from on high; such a person will bring victory to the Cause of God. His words will become creative and his deeds will reflect the teachings and commandments of Baha'u'llah, he will influence the souls and move the hearts of people.\nHaji Mirza Haydar-'Ali, that great man of insight and understanding, writes:\nBy nature, human beings are ignorant, weak, sinful,\nrebellious and wrongdoers, whereas authority, power,\nsovereignty, forgiveness, lordship, beauty, grandeur,\nmajesty and perfection all revolve around the will of God\nand His Word. To the extent that we may, through the will\nof God and His bounties, place ourselves under the shadow\nof His boundless favours, will our inherent shortcomings,\nour animal characteristics, passions, and ignorance be\ntransformed into perfections and divine qualities,\nbestowing upon us a measure of holiness, of knowledge, of\npower and all the gifts of the Kingdom...(9)\nIndeed, the greatest source of strength for a Baha'i is to draw from the power of Baha'u'llah. It is the only way through which the believer can effectively promote His Cause. The essential prerequisite for gaining access to this limitless source of spiritual energy is to have faith in Baha'u'llah and to believe <p378> wholeheartedly that this power exists. Without a sincere belief that Baha'u'llah is the Manifestation of God for this age and that He, and He alone, is the source of all creative energies destined to vivify the souls of all men, a Baha'i cannot succeed in tapping this mighty reservoir of celestial strength. It is the same in nature; how can a person utilize some form of energy without knowing its source? To have certitude in the Faith[1] is the first condition for success in drawing on the power of Baha'u'llah.\n[1 For further information on this subject see vol. 2, pp. 216-21.]\nThe second condition is to become humble and consider oneself to be as utter nothingness in relation to God and His Manifestation. To appreciate this, let us turn to the laws of nature, for the laws and principles of this physical world are similar to those of the spiritual world. This is because God's creation, both physical and spiritual, is one entity. The laws of the lower kingdom exist in the higher kingdom but they are applied on a higher level. Energy can be generated between two points where there is a difference of levels. Water can flow from a higher plane on to a lower one. Electrical energy may be generated when there is a difference of potential between two points in the circuit.\nSimilarly, to draw on the power of Baha'u'llah, the believer must assume the position of lowliness in relation to Baha'u'llah's station of loftiness. Baha'u'llah may be likened to the summit of a mountain, and the believers to the valley below. In the same way that water pours from the mountain top into the valley, the energies of the Revelation of Baha'u'llah and the tokens of His power and might can reach a Baha'i who turns to Him in a spirit of true humility and servitude. The Writings of the Central Figures of the Faith bear abundant testimony to this basic principle which governs the relationship of man to his Creator. In the Hidden Words Baha'u'llah prescribes: 'Humble thyself before Me, that I may graciously visit thee...'(10) When the believer assumes the position of humility and utter nothingness towards his God, <p379> he will long to commune with Him in a spirit of prayer, a prayer which is without desire and 'transcends the murmur of syllables and sounds', a prayer of praise and glorification of God.\nTo have faith, to become humble and to raise one's voice in prayer and glorification of God, are not sufficient prerequisites for drawing on the power of Baha'u'llah. There is yet another vital condition which the individual must fulfil, namely, to arise to serve the Cause. If he does not act, the channels of grace will remain closed, and no amount of devotion to Baha'u'llah and humility before Him can release the powers from on high. The very act of arising in itself is bound to attract the confirmations of Baha'u'llah. In many of His Tablets, Baha'u'llah has assured His followers that if they arise with faith and devotion to promote His Cause, the unseen hosts of His confirmations will descend upon them and make them victorious. The following passage gleaned from the Kitab-i-Aqdas is one such statement among many:\nVerily, we behold you from Our realm of glory, and shall\naid whosoever will arise for the triumph of Our Cause with\nthe hosts of the Concourse on high and a company of Our\nfavoured angels.(11)\nThe belief that the power of Baha'u'llah by itself can accomplish the promotion and establishment of the Faith throughout the world, without the believers fulfilling their obligations in teaching and building up the institutions of the Cause, is unfounded and completely against the laws of the Covenant of God. Indeed, the hands of Baha'u'llah are tied if the individual does not arise to serve His Cause. In some of His Writings as far back as in the days of 'Akka, Baha'u'llah has stated(12) that if all the believers had fully carried out His teachings in their daily lives, the great majority of the peoples of the world would have recognized Him and embraced His Cause in His days. <p380>\nThe Bab has stated(13) that every Revelation from God in the past was endowed with the potency to become a world religion. The reason that they did not was due to the fact that the believers in each Dispensation did not live up to the teachings of their Prophets. He mentions Islam and Christianity as examples. That neither of these religions spread through the discovered world of those days, that both failed to bring mankind in its entirety under their shadow, was because their followers did not faithfully practise their teachings. All this indicates that the Revelation of God, mighty and penetrating as it is, needs a worthy carrier to plant it in the hearts of men. The power to quicken and create a new spirit in souls comes from the Revelation of God. The believer acts as a channel designed to transmit the vivifying forces of the Faith of God to his fellow human beings.\nAlthough the greater part of the human race did not embrace the Cause of Baha'u'llah in His days, for the reasons already stated, yet He has clearly prophesied that ultimately, His Message is destined to envelop the whole world, illumine the hearts of its peoples and unite them under the influence of one common religion--His Faith. In the Lawh-i-Dunya Baha'u'llah reveals these assuring words:\nHow vast is the tabernacle of the Cause of God! It hath\novershadowed all the peoples and kindreds of the earth, and\nWill, ere long, gather together the whole of mankind\nbeneath its shelter.(14)\nIn another Tablet He states:\nGrieve thou not at men's failure to apprehend the Truth.\nEre long thou shalt find them turning towards God, the\nLord of all mankind. We have indeed, through the potency\nof the Most Sublime Word, encompassed the whole world,\nand the time is approaching when God will have subdued\nthe hearts of all that dwell on earth. He is in truth the\nOmnipotent, the All-Powerful.(15) <p381>\nIn a Tablet(16) to Shaykh Kazim-i-Samandar,[1] 'Abdu'l-Baha refers to a prophecy of Baha'u'llah made towards the end of His life, to the effect that soon God would raise up holy and detached souls for the spreading of His Cause throughout the World. Baha'u'llah has promised that these souls will be like stars in the heaven of guidance and the light of the morn of truth. They will burn as torches lighted by the hand of God, and as lamps shedding their lustre upon a dark world. These souls will not rest for a moment, nor will they become attached to the things of this world. They will spend their time in teaching the Cause and the diffusion of divine fragrances. Their faces will shine with the light of God's Revelation and their hearts will be filled with His love. They will disperse throughout the world, travel to every country, speak every language, proclaim His Message in every assembly, reveal the divine mysteries, diffuse His light, and promote His teachings among the peoples of the world. 'Abdu'l-Baha in this Tablet ardently prays that these souls, as promised by Baha'u'llah, may soon arise so that through the staunchness of their faith, the loftiness of their deeds, the potency of their detachment and the breaths of the Holy Spirit, they may bring victory to the Cause of Baha'u'llah.\nToday a vast number of dedicated believers from all over the world, and of every conceivable background, have arisen with vigour and devotion to promote the Cause of God as Baha'i pioneers and teachers. Indeed, with the rising of these detached and holy souls, the initial stage of this promise of Baha'u'llah has already been realized. The Faith of Baha'u'llah has now reached all parts of the world; through their self-sacrifice, their detachment and their faith, these men and women, drawing on the power of Baha'u'llah, have succeeded in erecting the framework of the divinely-ordained institutions of the Faith everywhere. The embryo of a new world order is now growing within the old, and for this reason the world will never be the same again. <p382>\n'We Are With You at All Times'\nFrom the beginning of this Dispensation up to the present time, every victory that the Faith of Baha'u'llah has achieved is due to His confirmations and assistance. The power released from on high has been responsible for the progress of the Cause and the building of its embryonic institutions. With very insignificant resources, handicapped by the lack of facilities and manpower, and often devoid of much knowledge and learning, thousands of men and women have scattered throughout the world and pioneered into the most inhospitable areas of the globe. And yet, in spite of their powerlessness and inadequacy, these souls have won astounding victories for the Cause of Baha'u'llah. All these people who arose with devotion have experienced the unfailing confirmations of Baha'u'llah reaching them in miraculous ways, enabling them to teach the Faith and build its institutions in spite of great and at times seemingly insurmountable obstacles.\nThe outpouring of confirmations pledged in the Kitab-i-Aqdas is clearly conditional upon the activity of the individual believer. It depends upon one action which may be summed up by the single magic word: 'Arise.' It is to the believer's inner urge to teach the Faith, and his act of 'arising', that God responds, releasing His powers from on high to sustain and strengthen him in his efforts to promote the word of God. Through the mere act of stepping forward to serve the Cause, great bounties will flood the soul, transforming its weakness into strength and its ignorance into wisdom and understanding.\nIn many of His Tablets Baha'u'llah makes similar promises. For example, He utters these assuring words:\nBy the righteousness of God! Whoso openeth his lips in this\nDay and maketh mention of the name of his Lord, the hosts\nof Divine inspiration shall descend upon him from the\nheaven of My name, the All-Knowing, the All-Wise. On <p383>\nhim shall also descend the Concourse on high, each bearing\naloft a chalice of pure light. Thus hath it been fore-ordained\nin the realm of God's Revelation, by the behest of Him Who\nis the All-Glorious, the Most Powerful.(17)\nFrom 'Abdu'l-Baha, in many Tablets, have come similar assurances, as in this one:\nBy the Lord of the Kingdom! If one arise to promote the\nWord of God with a pure heart, overflowing with the love\nof God and severed from the world, the Lord of Hosts will\nassist him with such a power as will penetrate the core of the\nexistent beings.(18)\nAnd Shoghi Effendi, too, reaffirmed these overwhelming promises. Through his secretary he wrote:\n... Today, as never before, the magnet which attracts the\nblessings from on high, is teaching the Faith of God. The\nHosts of Heaven are poised between heaven and earth, just\nwaiting, and patiently, for the Baha'i to step forth, with pure\ndevotion and consecration, to teach the Cause of God, so\nthey may rush to his aid and assistance. Let those who wish\nto achieve immortality step forth and raise the Divine Call.\nThey will be astonished at the spiritual victories they will\ngain.(19)\nThere is another passage in the Kitab-i-Aqdas in which Baha'u'llah refers to His ascension and assures His followers of His unfailing support at all times:\nBe not dismayed, O peoples of the world, when the day-star\nof My beauty is set, and the heaven of My tabernacle is\nconcealed from your eyes. Arise to further My Cause, and\nto exalt My Word amongst men. We are with you at all\ntimes, and shall strengthen you through the power of truth.\nWe are truly almighty. Whoso hath recognized Me, will\narise and serve Me with such determination that the powers\nof earth and heaven shall be unable to defeat his purpose.(20) <p384>\nIn this passage, Baha'u'llah states, 'We are with you at all times, and shall strengthen you through the power of truth.' Many of His disciples in His day became assured of this and literally saw with their own eyes that He was with them at all times. We cite two examples: one is a story recounted in detail by Haji Muhammad-Tahir-i-Malmiri.[1] It concerns an incident which occurred in the course of his journey to 'Akka, and the words that Baha'u'llah addressed to him when he was ushered into His presence for the first time.\nFrom his native city of Yazd, Haji Muhammad-Tahir went to Kirman on his way to 'Akka. There he met a devoted believer, Haji Muhammad-Khan-i-Baluch, a high-ranking personality of Baluchistan, who was going to 'Akka too. They decided that they would travel together. In his memoirs Haji Muhammad-Tahir writes:\nAfter a stay of three months in Kirman we went to Sirjan\nand stayed there for forty days. Muhammad-Khan was\ndressed in the garb of a dervish and had flowing hair.\nBecause of this, the dervishes of Sirjan used to come to him\nevery night and he had to entertain them and give them\nfood. I suggested to him that he had better cut his hair short\nand change his head-dress, so that we would get rid of the\ndervishes in the city.[1] He agreed with my suggestion and\nchanged his attire. After this, whenever the dervishes came,\nthey were told that the leader had gone, and so we were left\nalone. While in Sirjan, a certain believer, Aqa Muhammad-'Ali\n... asked Muhammad-Khan to take him as his personal\nservant on the journey. This offer was accepted by the Khan\n... and he accompanied us to 'Akka... We set off for the\nport of Bandar-i-'Abbas... There we met about one\nhundred Muslim pilgrims who were natives of Baluchistan\nand were on their way to Mecca for pilgrimage. When these\npeople heard that the Khan had arrived in the port, they <p385>\nassumed that he was also going to Mecca. So they all came to\nhim, enquired about the details of his journey to Mecca and\nexpressed their happiness that they would travel with him\n...[2] Muhammad Khan then intimated to me that we were\nnow trapped and had no alternative but to accompany the\npilgrims to Mecca, perform the rites of pilgrimage, and from\nthere proceed to 'Akka which is a shorter way than the\nalternative route of going to Jedda (via Bombay) and Port\n[1 The dervishes considered Muhammad-Khan, who was rich and influential, as a religious guide.]\n[2 In those days Baha'is did not disclose their faith to the general public. These people did not know that Muhammad-Khan was a Baha'i and was travelling to 'Akka. It would have been most unwise for the Khan to disclose to them his real intentions on this journey; and so he had to pretend that he was on his way to Mecca.]\nI told the Khan that I would not go to Mecca. He again\nemphasized that it would be a much shorter journey, but I\nrefused. He explained that he had had no intention of going\nto Mecca either, but circumstances had forced him this way.\nIf he did not go to Mecca on this journey, the news would\nreach home and it would cause embarrassment for his\nfamily... I reiterated my position and said that in my\nconscience... I could not bring myself to go to Mecca on\npilgrimage. I suggested that we part company, that I would\nproceed via Bombay and the Khan via Mecca in the\ncompany of his people... In refusing to go, however, I was\nnot being obstinate or bearing a grudge against the Khan.\nIndeed I was very bothered to have to disagree with his\nwishes. I also knew that our journey via Mecca would be\nshorter, but my heart could not accept such a course of\naction... Our stay in Bandar-i-'Abbas lasted for eleven\ndays, and every night the Khan spoke about this and insisted\nthat I change my mind. But I was immovable in my opinion.\nI used to tell him: 'My intention on this journey is to attain\nthe most holy presence of Baha'u'llah, not to go on\npilgrimage to Mecca and become a Haji.'[1]\n[1 Title given to those who perform the rites of pilgrimage in Mecca.]\nEventually the Khan gave in and advised his people to\nproceed to Mecca on their own.\n... After these people left, the Khan and myself set off <p386>\ntowards the court of the presence of the Beloved. We\njourneyed to Haifa via Bombay, and on arrival we\nintroduced ourselves as Baha'is. We were taken to the home\nof Aqa Muhammad-Ibrahim of Kashan, the coppersmith.\nThis believer was directed by Baha'u'llah to make his\nresidence in Haifa, to handle the distribution of letters and\nto give assistance and hospitality to Baha'i pilgrims. When\nBaha'u'llah was informed that the three of us had arrived,\nHe advised us, through Mirza Aqa Jan... that in 'Akka I\nshould stay with my brother Haji 'Ali.[1] We were driven\nfrom Haifa to 'Akka in 'Abdu'l-Baha's carriage... that day\nI was most happy. Joy and ecstasy filled my soul.[2]\n[1 See The Baha'i World, vol. IX, pp. 624-5, article on Haji 'Aliy-i-Yazdi.]\n[2 For further detail of Haji Muhammad-Tahir's arrival in 'Akka see vol. 1,pp. 131-2.]\nThe third evening of their arrival, the three pilgrims were summoned to the presence of Baha'u'llah and were received by Him with loving-kindness. Haji Muhammad-Tahir writes about his first meeting with Baha'u'llah:\nWhen I attained His presence, I prostrated myself at His\nfeet. After showering His bounties upon me, He said, 'Well\ndone! May God bless you! People were going to Mecca and\nyou did not go there for the love of God. Instead, you\nconsidered coming to the Most Great Prison to be of prime\nimportance. Truly your understanding was correct. Pilgrimage\nto Mecca can have the same reward as in the past[1]\nonly if it is carried out with Our permission; otherwise, it\nhas no value.[2](21)\n[1 'Past' means during the period of the validity of the Faith of Islam, i.e.up to 1844, the date of the appearance of the Bab. For more information on the subject of the period of validity of a religion see p. 277.]\n[2 When Haji Muhammad-Tahir was leaving 'Akka on his way home, Baha'u'llah directed him to proceed to Mecca and perform all the rites of pilgrimage. So he became a Haji by Baha'u'llah's permission. It should be noted also that the above quotation does not record the exact words of Baha'u'llah.] <p387>\nThese words of Baha'u'llah describing the episode of Bandar-i-'Abbas were the first signs of His all-encompassing knowledge which were revealed to these three pilgrims, and left them awestruck. These words helped to further confirm them in their faith and enabled them to believe with absolute certitude that, as testified by Him in the Kitab-i-Aqdas and many other Tablets, He was indeed with them at all times.\nMuhammad-Khan rendered great services to the Faith. Having recognized the Supreme Manifestation of God, he could not sit idle. He conveyed the glad tidings of the Revelation of Baha'u'llah to his friends and associates, among them Mirza Yusuf Khan, the Mustawfiyu'l-Mamalik, who at one stage was Prime Minister of Persia. 'Abdu'l-Baha relates the story of Muhammad-Khan (whom he refers to as 'the Haji') when he embraced the Faith, and describes his enthusiasm and his meeting with Mirza Yusuf Khan in these words:\nThus at the very moment when he heard the call from the\nKingdom of God, he shouted, 'Yea verily!' and he was off\nlike the desert wind. He travelled over vast distances,\narrived at the Most Great Prison and attained the presence\nof Baha'u'llah. When his eyes fell upon that bright\nCountenance he was instantly enslaved. He returned to\nPersia so that he could meet with those people who\nprofessed to be following the Path, those friends of other\ndays who were seeking out the Truth, and deal with them as\nhis loyalty and duty required.\nBoth going and returning, the Haji betook himself to each\none of his friends, foregathered with them, and let each one\nhear the new song from Heaven. He reached his homeland\nand set his family's affairs in order, providing for all, seeing\nto the security, happiness and comfort of each one. After\nthat he bade them all goodbye. To his relatives, his wife,\nchildren, kin, he said: 'Do not look for me again; do not\nwait for my return.'\nHe took up a staff and wandered away; over the\nmountains he went, across the plains, seeking and finding <p388>\nthe mystics, his friends. On his first journey, he went to the\nlate Mirza Yusuf Khan (Mustawfiyu'l-Mamalik), in Tihran.\nWhen he had said his say, Yusuf Khan expressed a wish, and\ndeclared that should it be fulfilled, he would believe; the\nwish was to be given a son. Should such a bounty become\nhis, Yusuf Khan would be won over. The Haji reported this\nto Baha'u'llah, and received a firm promise in reply.\nAccordingly, when the Haji met with Yusuf Khan on his\nsecond journey, he found him with a child in his arms.\n'Mirza,' the Haji cried, 'praise be to God! Your test has\ndemonstrated the Truth. You snared your bird of joy.'\n'Yes,' answered Yusuf Khan, 'the proof is clear. I am\nconvinced. This year, when you go to Baha'u'llah, say that I\nimplore His grace and favour for this child, so that it may be\nkept safe in the sheltering care of God.'(22)\n'Abdu'l-Baha in one of His Tablets(23) states that when Baha'u'llah was informed of this request He directed Muhammad-Khan to go home via Tihran especially to meet Mirza Yusuf Khan, give him a sugar plum to eat and convey to him the assurance that God would give him a son. It was on his final return to the Holy Land that Muhammad-Khan saw with his own eyes the fulfilment of that promise.\nMuhammad-Khan was a devoted believer on fire with the love of Baha'u'llah. When he embraced the Faith and later attained Baha'u'llah's presence, he became an entirely new creation. The honour and high esteem in which he was held by his people and the comfort and prosperity he enjoyed in his life were now utterly worthless to him. His greatest desire was to relinquish his all and become a servant of Baha'u'llah as a doorkeeper. He attained his wish and for some years was a servant in the household of Baha'u'llah.\n'Abdu'l-Baha has recounted his story as follows:\nHaji Muhammad then went to the blissful future martyr\nthe King of Martyrs, and asked him to intercede, so that he\nthe Haji, might be allowed to keep watch at the doorway of\nBaha'u'llah. The King of Martyrs sent in this request by <p389>\nletter, after which Haji Khan duly arrived at the Most Great\nPrison and made his home in the neighbourhood of his\nloving Friend. He enjoyed this honour for a long time, and\nlater, in the Mazra'ih garden as well, he was very frequently\nin Baha'u'llah's presence. After the Beloved had ascended,\nHaji Khan remained faithful to the Covenant and\nTestament, shunning the hypocrites. At last, when this\nservant was absent on the journeys to Europe and America,\nthe Haji made his way to the travellers' hospice at the\nHaziratu'l-Quds; and here, beside the Shrine of the Bab, he\ntook his flight to the world above.\nMay God refresh his spirit with the musk-scented air of\nthe Abha Paradise, and the sweet savours of holiness that\nblow from the highest Heaven. Unto him be greetings and\npraise. His bright tomb is in Haifa.[24]\nConcerning this ever-present supernatural knowledge, Baha'u'llah addressing Mulla Muhammad-i-Qa'ini, Nabil-i-Akbar, reveals these words in the Lawh-i-Hikmat (Tablet of Wisdom):\nThou knowest full well that We perused not the books\nwhich men possess and We acquired not the learning\ncurrent amongst them, and yet whenever We desire to quote\nthe sayings of the learned and of the wise, presently there\nWill appear before the face of thy Lord in the form of a tablet\nall that which hath appeared in the world and is revealed in\nthe Holy Books and Scriptures. Thus do We set down in\nwriting that which the eye perceiveth. Verily His\nknowledge encompasseth the earth and the heavens.\nThis is a Tablet wherein the Pen of the Unseen hath\ninscribed the knowledge of all that hath been and shall be--\na knowledge that none other but My wondrous Tongue can\ninterpret.(25)\nThe other story is that of Mirza Muhammad, entitled Na'im, a believer of remarkable faith and devotion and a poet of outstanding calibre. The following story is his spoken chronicle and demonstrates the truth of the words of <p390> Baha'u'llah when He said: 'We are with you at all times':\nAfter my arrival in Tihran, I was once reading the Epistle to\nthe Son of the Wolf, and I came across a very beautiful and\npenetrating prayer revealed by Baha'u'llah and quoted in\nthat book. I immediately wished in my heart that these\nresplendent words had been revealed from the Pen of the\nMost High for me, this insignificant servant. Some time\npassed when one day I received a message from Haji Mirza\n'Abdu'llah-i-Sahih-Furush... who was a well-known\nfigure among the Baha'is and a channel of communication\nwith the Holy Land. In this message he told me that a Tablet\nin my name had arrived from the Realm of Glory and that I\nshould call in person at his office in Sabzih-Maydan and\ncollect it. I hastened to his office where I received an exalted\nTablet... as a result of this I was moved to the depth of my\nemotions. I worked out carefully that at the same moment\nthat I had made a wish in my heart to have the above prayer\nrevealed for me, the bounties of Baha'u'llah had been\ndirected toward me in Tihran. He had re-revealed the same\nprayer at that very moment in my name and He sent it to\nme. The time that it normally took for communications to\narrive in Tihran from the Holy Land was the same as that\nbetween my making a wish in my heart, and the arrival of\nthe Tablet. Glorified be God, the Lord of Grandeur and\nMajesty! Although sufferings and tribulations had\nencompassed the Realm of Glory from every direction, yet\nthe bounties of Baha'u'llah were being vouchsafed to His\nmost insignificant servants, and this demonstrates the truth\nof the words: 'Nothing whatsoever keepeth Him from\nbeing occupied with any other thing.'[1](26)\n[1 For an explanation of these words of the Qur'an see vol. 1, pp. 262-3; vol. 2, p. 4l6.]\nThis is the text of the prayer that Na'im had wished for:\nGlory to Thee, O my God! But for the tribulations which\nare sustained in Thy Fath, how could Thy true lovers be\nrecognized; and were It not for the trials which are borne for <p391>\nlove of Thee, how could the station of such as yearn for\nThee be revealed? Thy might beareth Me witness! The\ncompanions of all who adore Thee are the tears they shed,\nand the comforters of such as seek Thee are the groans they\nutter, and the food of them who haste to meet Thee is the\nfragments of their broken hearts. How sweet to my taste is\nthe bitterness of death suffered in Thy path, and how\nprecious in my estimation are the shafts of Thine enemies\nwhen encountered for the sake of the exaltation of Thy\nWord! Let me quaff in Thy Cause, O my God and my\nMaster, whatsoever Thou didst desire, and send down upon\nme in Thy love all Thou didst ordain. By Thy glory! I wish\nonly what Thou wishest, and cherish what Thou cherishest.\nIn Thee have I, at all times, placed My whole trust and\nconfidence. Thou art verily the All-Possessing, the Most\nHigh.(27)\nIn His Tablet to Na'im, Baha'u'llah addresses him in words of loving-kindness, states that He has re-revealed the prayer as a token of His favours, and affirms that although it had been previously written for someone else, He had again revealed it for him especially, so that he might chant it with the melody of the birds of heaven and be of those who have achieved their heart's desire.\nIt is obvious that after having such an experience, the believer reaches the summit of certitude in his faith and this in turn gives birth to a courage which no earthly man can ever exhibit. This is the courage of the martyr and the hero and nothing but the power of God can produce it in a believer.\nNa'im was a truly devoted servant of Baha'u'llah. As a result of embracing the Faith, he suffered great persecutions in his native village of Sidih near Isfahan. By order of the clergy, he and four other believers had their arms tied to their bodies; they were then tied closely together with a rope and paraded barefoot through the village. Crowds had gathered from neighbouring villages to watch them being tortured. For about fourteen hours the victims were alternately beaten with sticks <p392> by the officials. Their bare bodies, painted in different colours, were exposed to the severe winter cold and were so badly battered that many spectators were horrified to witness them. After some time in prison in Isfahan, they were exiled from their homes. In the case of Na'im, his wife was taken from him and married to another man without any divorce proceedings.\nNa'im and his fellow believers left Isfahan on foot. They were penniless and suffered great hardships on the way until they arrived in Tihran. Na'im, to earn a living, at first occupied himself with transcribing the Writings of Baha'u'llah which were usually bought by the believers at a modest price, as there were no printing facilities available at that time. His income was so inadequate that he lived in the utmost poverty for some time. Later, however, through his literary talents he secured a prestigious post as a teacher and became prosperous.\nNeither in poverty nor in prosperity did Na'im ever fail in his devoted services to the Cause, services that he rendered with the utmost devotion and self-sacrifice. He occupied most of his free time with teaching the seekers after truth, and deepening the Baha'is, until the end of his life. Noteworthy among his activities was a special class he conducted for several years, teaching and deepening a limited number of Baha'i youth, most of whom became very prominent teachers of the Cause.\nNa'im's contribution to the literature of the Faith is outstanding. His poetry, deservedly regarded as brilliant, was only matched by his deep understanding of the Faith of Baha'u'llah and other religions. Among his works is an enchanting book of proofs in verse which is a brilliant exposition of the truth of the Cause of Baha'u'llah. This book has been used in many study circles in Persia for deepening in the knowledge of the Faith and understanding the significance of many abstruse passages in the Holy Books of older religions (especially the Qur'an), demonstrating the truth of the Cause of Baha'u'llah and proving the authenticity of its divine origin.\nThe poems of Na'im, those gem-like verses that this highly <p393> gifted believer has left to posterity, will no doubt be for all time a source of teaching material for seekers of truth, and a wellspring of inspiration for the believers.\nThe Kitab-i-Aqdas, the Most Holy Book, stands out as the mightiest testimony to the sovereignty of Baha'u'llah. To any Baha'i who deeply meditates on this book, Baha'u'llah appears as the ruler of all mankind. In the words of Shoghi Effendi, He will be acclaimed by posterity in the same way that He is already recognized by his followers as:\nThe Judge, the Lawgiver and Redeemer of all mankind, as\nthe Organizer of the entire planet, as the Unifier of the\nchildren of men, as the Inaugurator of the long-awaited\nmillennium, as the Originator of a new 'Universal Cycle', as\nthe Establisher of the Most Great Peace, as the Fountain of\nthe Most Great Justice, as the Proclaimer of the coming of\nage of the entire human race, as the Creator of a new World\nOrder, as the Inspirer and Founder of a world civilization.(28)\nThere is no doubt that when the station of Baha'u'llah is universally recognized, posterity will look at the story of His life with awe and wonder. People in the future will be amazed at the blindness of man in His days, and astonished at the treatment that was meted out to Him. When the glory of his station is unveiled to the eyes of humanity, it will be hard to imagine that the Lord of Hosts was made to live in the most desolate of the cities, the Heavenly Father held as a captive by a perverse generation and the King of Kings confined in a small room unfit to be a dwelling. And yet in that small room devoid of all the luxuries of life and not even properly furnished, the Kitab-i-Aqdas described by Him as His 'weightiest testimony unto all people'(29) was revealed. It is a staggering thought that in such a room, in an obscure corner of a prison city, unknown to the world, such a mighty instrument as the Kitab-i-Aqdas, the great Charter for future world civilization, should have been born. <p394>\nIndeed, there can be no greater tragedy than God manifesting Himself in all His glory, and mankind being blind to His Revelation. And there can be no greater feeling of loss than realizing this fact when it is too late. Baha'u'llah in the Kitab-i-Aqdas states:\nThe peoples of the world are fast asleep. Were they to wake\nfrom their slumber, they would hasten with eagerness unto\nGod, the All-Knowing, the All-Wise. They would cast\naway everything they possess, be it all the treasures of the\nearth, that their Lord may remember them to the extent of\naddressing to them but one word. Such is the instruction\ngiven you by Him Who holdeth the knowledge of things\nhidden, in a Tablet which the eye of creation hath not seen,\nand which is revealed to none except His own Self, the\nomnipotent Protector of all worlds. So bewildered are they\nin the drunkenness of their evil desires, that they are\npowerless to recognize the Lord of all being, Whose voice\ncalleth aloud from every direction: 'There is none other\nGod but Me, the Mighty, the All-Wise.'\nSay: Rejoice not in the things ye possess; tonight they are\nyours, tomorrow others will possess them. Thus warneth\nyou He Who is the All-Knowing, the All-Informed. Say:\nCan ye claim that what ye own is lasting or secure? Nay! By\nMyself, the All-Merciful. The days of your life flee away as a\nbreath of wind, and all your pomp and glory shall be folded\nup as were the pomp and glory of those gone before you.\nReflect, O people! What hath become of your bygone days,\nyour lost centuries? Happy the days that have been\nconsecrated to the remembrance of God, and blessed the\nhours which have been spent in praise of Him Who is the\nAll-Wise. By My life! Neither the pomp of the mighty, nor\nthe wealth of the rich, nor even the ascendancy of the\nungodly will endure. All will perish, at a word from Him.\nHe, verily, is the All-Powerful, the All-Compelling, the\nAlmighty. What advantage is there in the earthly things\nwhich men possess? That which shall profit them, they have\nutterly neglected. Ere long, they will awake from their\nslumber, and find themselves unable to obtain that which <p395>\nhath escaped them in the days of their Lord, the Almighty,\nthe All-Praised. Did they but know it, they would renounce\ntheir all, that their names may be mentioned before His\nthrone. They, verily, are accounted among the dead.(30)\nThose who recognized the station of Baha'u'llah in His days and were numbered among His followers often availed themselves of the opportunity to have their names mentioned in His presence, and this was considered an inestimable privilege. They often requested a pilgrim who was on his way to the presence of Baha'u'llah, to mention their names to Him. Sometimes the pilgrim would write their names on a list and hand it to Mirza Aqa Jan, Baha'u'llah's amanuensis, for presentation to Him. In all these cases, Baha'u'llah conferred a measure of His loving-kindness and bounties upon these believers. This He did either verbally, or in many cases in His Tablets. There were also many who wrote to Baha'u'llah and in the course of the letters, mentioned the names of some of the believers. In such cases, the Tablet revealed in reply to, and in honour of, the writer contained passages addressed to those whose names were given.\nThe mere act of Baha'u'llah in remembering a believer and vouchsafing His bounties upon him was sufficient to endow his soul with boundless blessings. This was a heavenly favour, and if the individual was able to play his part in living the life and in promoting the Cause with purity of motive, he could become a spiritual giant and a devoted servant.\nOne of the inestimable privileges which Baha'u'llah has conferred upon His followers is that He has summoned them to serve His Cause. In older Dispensations, the Cause of God was usually administered by a few, the religious leaders or clergy. The rest of the people did not have the same opportunity. But in this Dispensation every human being who recognizes the station of Baha'u'llah and is enlisted in His Faith, whether young or old, learned or unlettered, rich or <p396> poor, can render services to the Cause of God. In many of His Tablets Baha'u'llah urges the believers to arise and promote the Faith of God. In the Kitab-i-Aqdas too there are several references to this. There is no limit to serving the Cause. One need not be educated or have influence and standing in society to serve. Often it is the simple people of the world, sometimes illiterate, who rise to great heights of service in the Faith of Baha'u'llah.\nThere can be no greater bounty in this life than serving the Cause, provided one's motive is pure. If service is rendered in the hope of securing fame, influence and other personal gains in this world or even in the next,[1] then such a service becomes a great burden on the soul. It fills one's life with sadness and frustration and as Baha'u'llah has declared in His Writings, it will not be pleasing to God, for nothing but pure deeds and pure motives can be acceptable in His sight.\n[1 For a discussion of attachment to the next world see vol. 2 pp. 36-43.]\nThe Cause of God revealed in this day is very great, and so must be human effort in its determination to promote and serve it with devotion and self-sacrifice. To the extent that a believer recognizes the exalted station of Baha'u'llah will he be able to purify his motive in the service of the Cause, and to the same extent he will be rewarded spiritually. Baha'u'llah often proclaimed the stupendous character of His Revelation. In the Kitab-i-Aqdas He reveals these moving words:\nO peoples of the earth! God, the Eternal Truth, is My\nwitness that streams of fresh and soft-flowing waters have\ngushed from the rocks, through the sweetness of the words\nuttered by your Lord, the Unconstrained; and still ye\nslumber. Cast away that which ye possess, and, on the\nwings of detachment, soar beyond all created things. Thus\nbiddeth you the Lord of creation, the movement of Whose\nPen hath revolutionized the soul of mankind.\nKnow ye from what heights your Lord, the All-Glorious\nis calling? Think ye that ye have recognized the Pen\nwherewith your Lord, the Lord of all names, commandeth <p397>\nyou? Nay, by My life! Did ye but know it, ye would\nrenounce the world, and would hasten with your whole\nhearts to the presence of the Well-Beloved. Your spirits\nwould be so transported by His Word as to throw into\ncommotion the Greater World--how much more this small\nand petty one! Thus have the showers of My bounty been\npoured down from the heaven of My loving-kindness, as a\ntoken of My grace; that ye may be of the thankful.(31)\nSome of the disciples of Baha'u'llah had reached this summit of faith and discovered for themselves the loftiness of the station of Baha'u'llah. When these embodiments of detachment attained His presence, they were carried away to other realms beyond this world. They wanted to express the depth of their devotion to their Lord. But words were not adequate to describe their feelings of utter dedication and self-effacement. Above all, the majesty of Baha'u'llah was such that they were unable to utter a word in His presence, unless He empowered them to do so. Therefore, each person demonstrated the measure of his love and his readiness to lay down his life in His path by some act. Some went down on their knees in His presence, others prostrated themselves at His feet, yet others stood in silence rapt in spiritual communion with Him. Here is a story of Haji Mirza Haydar-'Ali, in the presence of Baha'u'llah in 'Akka, as he himself recounts:\nOne day I attained His presence. I was standing and the\nBlessed Beauty was pacing up and down the room. The\nocean of His utterance was surging, and the sun of His\nbounteous favours was shedding its luminous rays upon my\nsoul. The thought occurred to me, as I found myself in His\npresence, that I should throw myself on His blessed feet and\nkiss them,[1] as this had been one of my cherished desires for\na long time. Every time He walked towards me, I found\nmyself pinned motionless like a painting to the wall. But <p398>\nwhen He turned away, I moved one, two or three steps\nforward with the intention of prostrating myself at His feet.\nThen as He turned back and walked toward me, the awe and\nmajesty of His glorious person drove me back to the wall\nwhere I stood motionless. Three or four times I went\nforward in this way and then back to the wall. His Blessed\nPerson noticed this and, smiling, said: 'What happens to\nyou? You keep taking a step forward and then retreating.'\nHe then signalled to me with His hand to stay in my place.\n[1 To prostrate oneself at someone's feet and kiss them was considered by the people of the Orient to be the profoundest expression of humility.]\nAlthough it was the greatest ambition of my life and the\nmost cherished desire of my soul to throw myself at His\nfeet, an act which I was prevented from carrying out, and I\nshould have been disappointed and sad, yet the few words\nthat He uttered and the movement of His hand created in\nme such joy that till eternity I shall remain in a state of\nhappiness and feel greatly honoured by what happened on\nthat day.(32)\nThe Kitab-i-Aqdas is truly like an ocean and it is difficult to describe every subject revealed in that book. We have so far referred to some of its major themes. References have also been made previously to some of Baha'u'llah's teachings and prophecies in the Kitab-i-Aqdas. These subjects include the appearance of the next Manifestation of God,[1] the praising of the learned in the Faith,[2] Baha'u'llah's summons to the kings and rulers and ecclesiastics,[3] the signs of the maturity of mankind[4] and other topics.[5]\n[5 For some other topics in the Kitab-i-Aqdas see vol. 1, pp. 47, 124, 212 301; vol. 2, pp. 122, 240, 355; and the discussions in this volume.]\nThe spiritual truths revealed in the Kitab-i-Aqdas are fathomless. No one in this life can ever claim to have fully appreciated the potentialities hidden within each one of its revealed words. For (with the exception of its laws which are to be followed literally) the Kitab-i-Aqdas is full of hidden <p399> significances. Baha'u'llah reveals these words in the Kitab-i-Aqdas:\nunravel its secrets, and discover all the pearls of wisdom that\nlie hid in its depths. Take heed that ye do not vacillate in\nyour determination to embrace the truth of this Cause--a\nCause through which the potentialities of the might of God\nhave been revealed, and His sovereignty established. With\nfaces beaming with joy, hasten ye unto Him. This is the\nchangeless Faith of God, eternal in the past, eternal in the\nfuture. Let him that seeketh, attain it; and as to him that hath\nrefused to seek it--verily, God is Self-Sufficient, above any\nneed of His creatures.\nSay: This is the infallible Balance which the Hand of God\nis holding, in which all who are in the heavens and all who\nare on the earth are weighed, and their fate determined, if ye\nbe of them that believe and recognize this truth. Say:\nThrough it the poor have been enriched, the learned\nenlightened, and the seekers enabled to ascend unto the\npresence of God. Beware, lest ye make it a cause of\ndissension amongst you. Be ye as firmly settled as the\nimmovable mountain in the Cause of your Lord, the\nMighty, the Loving.(33)\nIn one of His Tablets,(34) 'Abdu'l-Baha states that when Baha'u'llah was engaged in formulating the teachings and revealing the verses of God which streamed from His pen, the power which was released by the revelation of the Word[1] created such a thrill in His heart that He could not eat His meals. Sometimes He used to eat very little and there were days when He could not eat at all.\n[1 For more information on the manner of the revelation of the Word of God see vol. 1, ch. 3.] <p400>\nLast Days Within the Citadel\nThe promulgation of the Kitab-i-Aqdas, which according to Shoghi Effendi may well rank as the most significant act of the ministry of Baha'u'llah, should be regarded as a potent source for the regeneration of mankind. The mysterious forces which the revelation of this Book released in the world may be said to have been a major factor in turning the tide of the fortunes of the Faith and its Author in 'Akka.\nWe recall, as we survey the history of those days, how Baha'u'llah and His companions were engulfed in a sea of tribulations as a result of the murder of the three followers of Mirza Yahya, a reprehensible act which had cast a shadow upon the community of the Most Great Name. Now, a year later, the gloom was beginning to lift and the prestige of the Faith had begun to rise. All the believers who had been put in gaol, with the exception of the seven actually responsible for that heinous act, were released. Once again confidence was restored among the inhabitants of the city towards the company of exiles whose integrity and uprightness had dispelled all the false accusations which had temporarily tarnished their good name.\nThe marriage of 'Abdu'l-Baha to Munirih Khanum[1] took place in the same year that the Kitab-i-Aqdas was revealed. 'Abbud, Baha'u'llah's next-door neighbour, who had through fear earlier on reinforced the partition between the two houses, was now moved to open a room from his own house to Baha'u'llah's in order to provide accommodation for 'Abdu'l-Baha and His bride. And then the partition between the houses <p401> was removed and 'Abbud left his house to Baha'u'llah and went to live elsewhere. In this way more accommodation became available for Baha'u'llah and His family.\nBaha'u'llah Himself moved into a more spacious room with a veranda facing the sea and 'Abdu'l-Baha moved into the room which Baha'u'llah had occupied up until then. Compared to the old one, the new room of Baha'u'llah was a delightful place. Here He could see the sea as He walked on the veranda. Also the believers could attain His presence in more comfortable and brighter surroundings.\nIt was in this room that for some years the pilgrims from Persia came to His presence, and it was here that many important Tablets were revealed.\nBaha'u'llah often walked on the veranda in front of His room where He could be in the open air and gaze out to sea. Usually he did this in the afternoon. The believers from 'Akka who had shared His imprisonment and sufferings with the greatest joy and fortitude and were now living and working in different parts of the city were immensely delighted by this new development.\nHaji Mirza Haydar-'Ali, an eye-witness to the events of those days, has left for posterity these reminiscences:[1]\n[1 This account relates to the year 1877, a few months before Bah\u0087'u'll\u0087h left the house of 'Abbud and took up residence in Mazra'ih. (A.T.)]\nThere were about one hundred believers in 'Akka consisting\nof those who resided there and the visitors. Most of these\npeople were engaged in some trade or business. There was\ntremendous love and unity among these souls. They derived\ngreat joy from associating with each other and were very\nproud to have the privilege of serving one another. All this\nmade them feel that they were living in paradise.\nIt had become Baha'u'llah's established practice to\nsummon some of the believers to attain His presence. This\nusually took place from three hours before sunset up to two\nor three hours after sunset. Therefore, all the believers\nwould leave their work three hours before sunset and <p402>\nassemble in the street outside the house of Baha'u'llah.\nSome would walk around the house, others would stand\nand some would sit in groups. There were those who were\ninside the reception room of 'Abdu'l-Baha as they had some\nduties to perform...\nThe believers were thus able to see their Lord as He\nwalked on the veranda of the house. Many a time through\nHis bounty and loving-kindness, He would, with His\nblessed hand, signal to some to come up to His presence...\nThe unity which existed among the believers was such that\nthey were as one body; each one was ready to sacrifice his\nlife for the other. And when one individual or a group was\nsummoned in this way, the joy which flooded their hearts\nwas indescribable. The person would run inside with such\nspeed that even the door and the walls vibrated with\nexcitement. He would be so thrilled at that moment that he\ncould not recognize anybody, and if someone talked to him,\nhe could not hear it. He would be on his way to meet his\nLord, to reach the paradise of Divine Presence which is\nmuch more glorious than paradise itself, a paradise which\ncannot be seen or felt or heard by those who have not experienced\nit. And, after being dismissed from Baha'u'llah's\npresence, the individual was so carried away that it would\ntake him some time to regain consciousness, when he would\nbe able to recognize his friends and talk to them. Only one\nout of many could perhaps recount, in a very inadequate\nway, the words that he had heard in His presence. But no\none was ever able to describe the spiritual experiences of his\nmeeting with his Lord.(1)\nThe devotion and love which Baha'u'llah's companions had for Him were beyond measure. There was a believer in 'Akka, Mirza Muhammad-Hadiy-i-Sahhaf (bookbinder), who wanted to make sure that the eyes of Baha'u'llah would not fall on any unclean sight when He emerged from His room on to the veranda. Although he was an outstanding artist engaged in illuminating the Books and Tablets of Baha'u'llah, he nevertheless took upon himself the task of cleaning and <p403> sweeping[1] the area around the house of 'Abbud. 'Abdu'l-Baha has written his story in these words:\n[1 The streets of 'Akka were covered in earth. There was no proper system of refuse collection at the time, and people often threw litter into the streets. This is why many householders would sweep the approaches to their houses, and sprinkle the ground with water.]\n... among those who emigrated and came to settle near\nBaha'u'llah was the bookbinder, Muhammad-Hadi. This\nnoted man was from Isfahan, and as a binder and\nilluminator of books he had no peer. When he gave himself\nup to the love of God he was alert on the path and fearless.\nHe abandoned his home and began a Dreadful journey,\npassing with extreme hardship from one country to another\nuntil he reached the Holy Land and became a prisoner. He\nstationed himself by the Holy Threshold, carefully\nsweeping it and keeping watch. Through his constant\nefforts, the square in front of Baha'u'llah's house was at all\ntimes swept, sprinkled and immaculate.\nBaha'u'llah would often glance at that plot of ground, and\nthen He would smile and say: 'Muhammad-Hadi has\nturned the square in front of this prison into the bridal-bower\nof a palace. He has brought pleasure to all the\nneighbours and earned their thanks.'\nWhen his sweeping, sprinkling and tidying was done, he\nwould set to work illuminating and binding the various\nbooks and Tablets. So his days went by, his heart happy in\nthe presence of the Beloved of mankind. He was an excellent\nsoul, righteous, true, worthy of the bounty of being united\nwith his Lord, and free of the world's contagion...\nHe was a man short of stature, lofty of station and mind.\nHis heart was pure, his soul luminous. During all those days\nwhen he served the Holy Threshold, he was loved by the\nfriends and favoured by God. From time to time, a smile on\nHis lips, the Blessed Beauty would speak to him, expressing\nkindness and grace(2)...\nThe extraordinary love and devotion that the companions of <p404> Baha'u'llah entertained in their hearts for Him, and their enthusiasm to attain His presence as described by Haji Mirza Haydar-'Ali were mainly due to two things. One was the staunchness of their faith in Baha'u'llah as the Supreme Manifestation of God, and the other their complete surrendering of their own wills to His. To the extent that His disciples acquired these two qualities were they able to draw near to Him. There were also believers who gained admittance into the presence of Baha'u'llah, witnessed the outpourings of His Revelation, were awed at His majesty and were filled with the spirit of faith. But as they were not detached from the things of this world and could not subdue their self and ego, they remained remote from His bountiful favours.\nIn one of His Tablets(3) Baha'u'llah states that there were\nsome believers who attained His presence day and night[1] and\nyet did not draw nigh to Him because they were spiritually\nremote. And there were those who never attained His presence\noutwardly, but enjoyed nearness to Him spiritually.\n[1 Mirza Aqa Jan is an example of this. He was in Baha'u'llah's service most of the time, but at the end he became a Covenant-breaker and destroyed a forty-year life of service to Baha'u'llah.]\nIn this Tablet Baha'u'llah declares that the reward which God has destined for a sincere and pure-hearted believer who has attained His presence is far greater than the reward for all the good deeds in the world put together. Indeed, the reward for such a bounty, He testifies, cannot be described in words. Only God is aware of it.\nBaha'u'llah states in this Tablet that even those who visit the land in which the throne of the Manifestation of God is established will be bountifully blessed in the world to come, how much more will be the reward of those who actually have attained His presence.\nTo subdue one's self and to surrender one's will to the will of the Manifestation of God may prove to be the most difficult task for man to achieve. When the individual achieves this exalted goal of submitting himself to God, he becomes the <p405> recipient of His boundless favours.\nAll living creatures submit themselves in a physical sense to the forces of nature. A tree shows no resistance to the rain and the rays of the sun. It receives their life-giving energies and as a result it grows and flourishes. In a spiritual sense, man must do the same if he is to receive the bounties of God. The only difference is that whereas other living creatures submit themselves involuntarily to the forces of nature, man has free will to decide his options.\n'Abdu'l-Baha in one of His Tablets(4) states that the highest degree of sacrifice in the path of God for a believer is to surrender his will entirely to the will of God, and become a true servant of the loved ones of the Blessed Beauty. For God, in His essence, is exalted above man's servitude to Him. Therefore to become a servant of God, one must serve His loved ones. 'Abdu'l-Baha in this Tablet reiterates His station of servitude stating that in His innermost heart, He considers Himself to be the lowliest servant of the believers, and that His greatest ambition is to be able to render devoted service to each and every one of the friends.\nThe story of 'Abdu'l-Baha's servitude is widely acknowledged by those who came in contact with Him. His Writings also bear ample testimony to his unique life of service to all the human race. As the 'perfect Exemplar' of the teachings of Baha'u'llah, 'the embodiment of every Baha'i ideal', and 'the incarnation of every Baha'i virtue',(5) 'Abdu'l-Baha's life has already inspired many, and will continue to inspire countless generations of the future in their endeavour to become selfless and live a life of humility and servitude.\nDr Yunis Khan-i-Afrukhtih[1] served the Master for some years in 'Akka. His love for 'Abdu'l-Baha and His constant association with Him left an abiding impression upon his life. He became one of the spiritual giants of this Faith, a magnetic personality and an illumined soul endowed with great humour <p406> and talent. He has written a great deal in His memoirs about the Master. In them he states that after the passing of Baha'u'llah, the Covenant-breakers arose in opposition against 'Abdu'l-Baha. They did everything in their power to discredit Him and belittle His station as the Centre of the Covenant of Baha'u'llah. The reaction of the steadfast believers was to exalt the station of the Master to the point of exaggeration. This displeased Him immensely, for He always considered Himself to be only a servant. The following is a translation of Dr Yunis Khan's thoughts and recollections concerning 'Abdu'l-Baha's station of servitude.\nAs the Covenant-breakers intensified their campaign of\ntrouble-making for the Master and went on belittling His\nstation, many of the steadfast believers, due to their\nenormous love for Him, exaggerated His station.\nEventually all this resulted in a situation that if a believer\nwas moved, for instance, to compose a poem about 'Abdu'l-Baha's\nservitude, he would assuredly become the recipient\nof the Master's unbounded favours and bounties. But if, on\nthe contrary, he would sing His praises and exalt His name,\nHe would be displeased, and even ask the writer to repent\nand beg forgiveness.[1]\n[1 see vol. 2, pp. 395-6]\nThe only station that He retained for Himself was that of\nthe appointed Interpreter of the Writings of Baha'u'llah.\nAnd this He did so that if a person ever sought to glorify His\nstation by referring to the many exalted titles by which\nBaha'u'llah had designated Him, He then would merely\nsay, 'I am the Interpreter of the Words of God and my\ninterpretation of all these designations is 'Abdu'l-Baha\n(Servant of Baha'u'llah)'... At one stage He wrote many\nTablets and prayers concerning His own station of\nservitude. Among them was a prayer which is now used as a\nPrayer of Visitation for 'Abdu'l-Baha. Concerning this\nprayer He wrote, 'Whoso reciteth this prayer with lowliness\nand fervour will bring gladness and joy to the heart of\nthis servant; it will be even as meeting Him face to face.'\nIn this prayer He describes His station of servitude in <p407>\nsuch lowly terms: 'Lord! Give me to drink from the chalice\nof selflessness; with its robe clothe me, and in its ocean\nimmerse me. Make me as dust in the pathway of Thy loved\nones, and grant that I may offer up my soul for the earth\nennobled by the footsteps of Thy Chosen ones in Thy path,\nO Lord of Glory in the Highest.'\nO dear reader! Most of the believers know this prayer by\nheart and are in the habit of reciting it every morning. This is\nwhy this servant has not quoted its full text here. My appeal\nto you now is to recite this prayer[1] first and then read the\nfollowing which is entitled:\n[1 'Tablet of Visitation' of 'Abdu'l-Baha, in most Baha'i prayer books. (A.T.)]\nThe story of a bitter-sweet experience\nIn those days when the friends in Persia were aflame with\nthe fire of love, and at the same time, with a spirit of\nforbearance, burning in that fire of envy and hatred, of\ncalumny and slander, created by the people of malice and\nthe Covenant-breakers, Baha'i poets and people of letters in\nthat country used to write poems in praise and glorification\nof 'Abdu'l-Baha. In laudatory and most eloquent language\nthey used to acclaim His exalted station.\nBut we, the resident Baha'is of 'Akka, the spot round\nwhich the Concourse on High[1] circle in adoration, were\nvery careful not to breathe a word about the station of\nsovereignty and lordship of the blessed Person of 'Abdu'l-Baha.\nWe knew well that He had often advised the poets\nthat instead of singing His praise they ought to exalt His\nstation of servitude and utter self-effacement.\n[1 See p. 180n. (A.T.)]\nDuring this time, one day I received a letter from one of\nthe handmaidens of God[1]... This letter, composed in\nverse, and laudatory in its tone, was addressed to 'Abdu'l-Baha\nin the form of a supplication to the holy presence of\nGod. I handed the poem to the Master as He was coming\ndown the steps of the house in front of the sea. I thought it <p408>\nwas the right moment to give it to Him. He had hardly read\none or two lines when He suddenly turned His face towards\nme and with the utmost sadness and a deep sense of grief\nsaid: 'Now even you hand me letters such as this! Don't you\nknow the measure of pain and sorrow which overtakes me\nwhen I hear people addressing me with such exalted titles?\nEven you have not recognized me! If you have not\nappreciated this, then what can be expected of others?...\nDon't you see all that I do day and night, and everything I\nwrite in my letters... I swear by Almighty God that I\nconsider myself lowlier than each and every one of the loved\nones of the Blessed Beauty. This is my firm conviction...\nTell me if I am wrong. This is my greatest wish. I don't even\nwish to make this claim, because I dislike every claim. He\nthen turned towards the Qiblih and said, 'O Blessed Beauty,\ngrant me this station'...\n[1 Baha'u'llah often designated the male believers as 'servants of God' and the female as 'handmaidens of God'. (A.T.)]\n'Abdu'l-Baha spoke angrily in this vein with such vigour\nthat my heart almost stopped. I had a sensation of choking,\nmy whole body became numb. Truly, I felt that life was\ngoing out of me. Not only was the power of speech taken\nfrom me, but energy for breathing seemed to have gone also\nI wished the earth would open and swallow me up so that I\nmight never again see my Lord so grief-stricken as this.\nTruly for a moment I was not present in this world. Only\nwhen the Master resumed His walking down the stairs, the\nsound of His shoes jolted me. I quickly followed Him. I\nheard Him say: 'I told the Covenant-breakers that the more\nthey hurt me, the more will the believers exalt my station to\nthe point of exaggeration...'\nNow that the blame was removed from the believers and\nplaced on the Covenant-breakers, I somewhat regained\nconsciousness and a little life. I listened carefully to His\nwords, but my thoughts were elsewhere. I now understood\nthat it was the iniquities and transgressions perpetrated by\nthese ruthless Covenant-breakers which had produced a\nstrong reaction among the believers who could not control\ntheir feelings and sentiments.\nThis bitter experience of mine was ended now. The\nMaster was pacing up and down the hall and speaking more <p409>\nabout the machinations of the Covenant-breakers. But I\nwas not in a position to think properly or meditate deeply. I\nwas very perturbed that I had brought such grief upon the\nMaster, and I did not know what to do. Then I heard Him\nsay: 'This is in no way the fault of the friends. They say these\nthings because of their steadfastness, their love and devotion\n...' Again my thoughts were directed to His words. Then I\nheard Him say to me: 'You are very dear to Me, etc...'[1]\nFrom these utterances I realized that it was always the\nMaster's way never ever to allow a soul to be hurt. And now\nthis was a time for giving me comfort and encouragement.\nThe pressure in my heart was now released. All the anguish\npent up in me was gone. I burst into tears which flowed in\ngreat profusion upon my cheeks and I listened more\ncarefully. I heard His utterances as He showered His\nbounties upon me in such heartwarming and affectionate\nterms that they went far beyond the normal limits of\nencouragement. So much loving kindness and favour He\nbestowed upon me that when I considered my limited\ncapacity and worth, I could not bear to hear Him; therefore\nI never allowed those words to enter into my memory.\nNevertheless, I was filled with such an indescribable joy and\necstasy that I wished the doors of heaven would open and I\ncould ascend to the Kingdom on high.\n[1 It is obvious that through his modesty and humility Dr Yunis Khan does not wish to reveal all the praise and encouragement which the Master had showered upon him.]\nWhen He dismissed me from His presence I went\ntowards the Pilgrim House in such a state of intoxication\nand excitement that I walked all around the streets of 'Akka\nnot knowing where I was going!\nAnd now, my dear reader, you can see how a bitter\nexperience turned into a sweet one, and how it all ended.\nThe earth did not open up to swallow me, neither did the\nheavens open to let me go up! And, so I can write down the\nstories o those days and in memory of His radiant\ncountenance may say to you: 'Allah'u'Abha!'[1](6)\n[1 Literally: God is most glorious.] <p410>\nDuring the time that Baha'u'llah resided in the house of 'Abbud, His fellow exiles had fully settled down in the city of 'Akka, and most of them were successful in their humble professions. During the governorship of Ahmad Big Tawfiq, they enjoyed relative peace in their work. But with the arrival of a new Governor, 'Abdu'r-Rahman Pasha, the situation changed. For he proved to be one of the most hostile Governors towards Baha'u'llah and His companions. He was very covetous and when his designs to extract money from the company of exiles failed, he submitted an inflammatory report to the authorities in Istanbul. He complained that instead of imprisonment, all the Baha'is in 'Akka were free and working. The response from the Sublime Porte--the office of the Grand Vizir in Istanbul--was that the edict of the Sultan must be obeyed, that they were prisoners and had no right to work.\nHusayn-i-Ashchi has given a detailed account of this episode in his memoirs. It must be noted that Aqa Husayn was at the time serving a sentence in prison because of his part in the slaying of the three Azalis in 'Akka, but through the goodwill of some of the authorities, he was allowed to go every morning to the house of Baha'u'llah where he used to work as a cook and return to the prison at night. The following is a summary of his notes:\nWhen 'Abdu'r-Rahman Pasha received the note from the\nSublime Porte condemning the exiles to imprisonment, it\nboosted his arrogance. He decided to use it as a means of\nextracting some money for himself... Having failed to do\nthis, one evening he called on Shaykh 'Aliy-i-Miri, the\nMufti[1] of 'Akka who was an admirer of 'Abdu'l-Baha, and\nshared with him his plan of arresting the Baha'is in the\nmorning. His plan was to arrest them as they came to open\ntheir shops and send them to prison. He also planned to\nrestrict 'Abdu'l-Baha's freedom of movement in the city.\nHe solicited the support of the Mufti in this plan... That <p411>\nsame night the Mufti went to 'Abdu'l-Baha, told him the\nnews and strongly urged the Master to bribe the Governor,\nas otherwise everyone would be arrested in the morning.\nDisapproving the Mufti's solution, 'Abdu'l-Baha assured\nhim that God was compassionate and merciful, and that He\nwould leave this matter in the hand of God. He advised him\nto go home and to rest assured of the outcome. It was late\nand Baha'u'llah had just retired. Nevertheless, 'Abdu'l-Baha\nwent to Him and gave Him the news. Baha'u'llah\nordered that the believers be advised not to go to work in the\nmorning. Everyone was informed and they all assembled in\nthe reception room of 'Abdu'l-Baha in the morning.\n[1 The religious leader of the city who usually wielded greater influence and authority than a governor.]\nI was, at the time, confined to prison... but each\nmorning was permitted to go to the house of Baha'u'llah\nwhere I worked as a cook and at night I returned to prison.\nOn that morning, on my way, I noticed that the shop of Aqa\nMuhammad-Ibrahim, the coppersmith, was closed and so\nwere other shops belonging to the believers. I was very\nsurprised and wondered what had happened. I hastened to\nthe house of Baha'u'llah where I found all the shopkeepers\nassembled in the reception room. I was told the news and\nwent into the kitchen to work. It was approximately two\nhours after sunrise when a man pushed aside the curtain in\nfront of the door with his walking stick. I looked up and it\nwas Iskandar Effendi, the head of the telegraph office. He\nwas in great haste but signs of joy could be detected in his\nappearance. He wanted to see the Master who was upstairs\nat the time. I went up and found that He was in the presence\nof Baha'u'llah. I told the Master that Iskandar Effendi had\ncome to see Him and he was in a happy mood. The Blessed\nBeauty smiled and said 'Go downstairs, Aqa![1] He has good\nnews. No one can frustrate God in His purpose.'\n[1 The Master, one of 'Abdu'l-Baha's titles given to Him by Baha'u'llah. He usually addressed 'Abdu'l-Baha as Aqa.]\n'Abdu'l-Baha went to the reception room where He was\nshown a telegram just received containing the order of\ndismissal of 'Abdu'r-Rahman Pasha.[1] After a few minutes <p412>\nHe went hurriedly upstairs. Halfway up, I asked Him if he\ncould tell me the news. He smiled and said in a loud voice,\n'God has struck a severe blow at the Pasha.' He then went to\nconvey the news to Baha'u'llah.\n[1 It was not unusual for a telegraph office to share such news with people, as there were no other news media. The fact that 'Abdu'l-Baha received the news before the Governor shows the deep regard some officials had for the Master.]\nAs to 'Abdu'r-Rahman Pasha, in the morning, accompanied\nby a few soldiers, he went to arrest the believers at\ntheir shops and send them to prison. To his surprise he\nfound the shops were closed. At first he thought the late\nopening was perhaps due to the month of Ramadan when\npeople were going late to work. Soon after, he went to the\nPolice Station where he waited for the shops to open up.\nDuring this time he was unaware of God's intervention...\nThe above telegram was addressed to Shaykh 'Aliy-i-Miri,\nthe Mufti of 'Akka, who communicated its content to the\nPasha... The Mufti had been truly astonished by this\nevent. For it was late in the evening when the Governor's\nscheme had come to light, and in the morning the telegram\narrived. He considered this incident to have been a miracle.\nHe said to the Master, 'I am almost on the verge of losing my\nmind over this episode. Please tell me, what did Baha'u'llah\nsay late that evening when you informed Him of the plot?'\n'Abdu'l-Baha responded by saying that the Blessed Beauty\nordered the believers not to open their shops in the morning\nand advised them to leave their affairs in the hand of God\nBaha'u'llah also declared that when a person leaves his\naffairs to God, he ought not to take any other measures\nhimself, otherwise he could frustrate the plan of God.(7)\nIn a Tablet(8) Baha'u'llah describes 'Abdu'r-Rahman Pasha as an embodiment of Satan, one who ruled over God in 'Akka. He asserts that God assisted him in his evil schemes for some time, until suddenly He took hold of him with might and power. Admonishing the ousted Governor, Baha'u'llah states that he was unable to prevent God from executing His will, and reminds him that men greater than him did not succeed in frustrating His purpose. He also refers to the fate of other <p413> hostile governors and officials who were either dismissed or stricken with disease through the power of God.\nOther Governors who followed 'Abdu'r-Rahman Pasha were friendly. First Asa'd Effendi was dispatched to 'Akka. He was Acting Governor for a short time and was especially commissioned to investigate the condition of the exiles. Although Baha'u'llah did not usually give interviews to anyone outside the circle of His followers, He gave permission to Asa'd Effendi to see Him. This was a result of repeated requests by Asa'd Effendi and the intercession of 'Abbud. Asa'd Effendi was so impressed by the glory of Baha'u'llah's countenance that he knelt before Him and when he was leaving, he kissed the hem of His garment.\nThe next Governor was Faydi Pasha to whom we have referred previously.[1] During his short stay of about two months in 'Akka as Governor, he became one of the ardent admirers of 'Abdu'l-Baha. One day he noticed that some religious leaders, including the Mufti of 'Akka, were taking part in religious discussions in the Mosque. He conveyed to them his displeasure at seeing that 'Abdu'l-Baha was not there to conduct such classes. He was told that the reason was the order of the Sultan which prohibited such an activity. On another occasion, when he noticed that 'Abdu'l-Baha did not leave the city boundaries, he sent word that He should feel free to visit other localities outside 'Akka. Faydi Pasha was a man of action. His admiration for and support of 'Abdu'l-Baha boosted the prestige of the community. This is a summary of Husayn-i-Ashchi's memoirs concerning Faydi Pasha:\nOne day the Master was in the presence of Baha'u'llah and\nwas talking about Faydi Pasha. I was present on that\noccasion when the Master was recounting in detail some of\nthe activities of the Governor and praising his steadfastness,\nhis services and his sincerity. Baha'u'llah said, 'Aqa! this\nPasha is a great personality. A man as great as he will not be <p414>\nallowed to remain here very long. You will find that he will\nbe summoned to Istanbul suddenly by a telegram. If there\nwere a few personalities such as this among the Ottoman\nrulers, the Government would have made good progress.'\nThen 'Abdu'l-Baha left and went to the reception room\ndownstairs. It did not take more than one hour and a half\nbefore a telegram arrived from the Sublime Porte directing\nFaydi Pasha to go to Istanbul. The telegram was first shown\nto the Master by the chief of the telegraph office and then\nwas taken to the Governor... When he came to say\nfarewell, he particularly offered his help if in his absence any\ndifficulties should be created for the company of exiles. He\ntold us to send him a telegram and he would do his best to\nassist. He was a very influential man. He treated us with\nloving-kindness and in various gatherings he spoke highly\nof the community.(9)\nAfter Faydi Pasha, Ibrahim Pasha, who was friendly, was installed as Governor, and after him Mustafa Diya Pasha, who was so impressed with 'Abdu'l-Baha and the whole community that, although it was against the edict of the Sultan, he indicated that Baha'u'llah was free to pass through the gates of the city. However, Baha'u'llah declined his suggestion and remained in the House of 'Abbud until June 1877 when the Mufti of 'Akka, as we shall see, literally fell on his knees and begged Him to leave 'Akka.\nFor almost nine years since His arrival in 'Akka, Baha'u'llah had not left the confines of His residence. Although, as we have already stated, the water supply was brought in, the air purified and the brackish water of the wells changed into fresh water, yet the city, devoid of all greenery, was a gloomy prison in itself. From the Writings of Baha'u'llah we have learned that the Manifestation of God abides in a spiritual realm far from the ken of men. In that station, imprisonment and calamities have no effect on Him. But the human part feels pain and suffering. <p415>\nWhen we survey events in the ministry of Baha'u'llah, these nine years spent in the city of 'Akka can be regarded as the most depressing in His earthly life. For He was, from a human point of view, extremely enamoured of the beauty of nature. He loved oriental gardens with their perfumed flowers and shrubs. In His youth, before the birth of the Babi Revelation until He was deprived of all His possessions at the time of Siyah-Chal,[1] He spent much of His time during spring and summer in the open countryside. In His ancestral home in the village of Takur, in the district of Nur, He lived in beautiful surroundings. For days He used to tarry in gardens of exquisite beauty. And when the Babi Faith was born, He used to entertain the believers on His regal estates.\n[1 See vol. 1, pp. 7-11.]\n'Abdu'l-Baha in a Tablet(10) describes the beauty of the scenery of a summer residence where Baha'u'llah stayed one summer. This was in one of the villages in the area of Shimiran close to the Alburz mountain near Tihran. This place had beautiful gardens and a lake. A huge stone platform was built in the middle of the lake. Upon it a tent was pitched surrounded by flowers. This was in the early days of the Babi Faith and the believers used to come there, sometimes a hundred and fifty of them. Enchanted by the presence of Baha'u'llah, they would all sit around and chant the divine verses amid the charm of the surroundings. This is just an example of how He loved to spend His days in the countryside.\nIn Baghdad too, where Baha'u'llah lived an austere life for many years, He was free to walk along the banks of the Tigris in the open air, or to pitch his tent in certain of the garden parks outside the city, and stay there for some time. And in Adrianople there were occasions when Baha'u'llah was able to spend some time in gardens which He rented. But in 'Akka for nine years He did not see even a blade of grass to rejoice His heart. Once He had made a remark to this effect and 'Abdu'l-Baha knew that through the creative power of His Father's <p416> words, it was time for Him to move out of 'Akka. 'Abdu'l-Baha tells the story of how Baha'u'llah's confinement came to an end:\nBaha'u'llah loved the beauty and verdure of the country.\nOne day He passed the remark: 'I have not gazed on\nverdure for nine years. The country is the world of the soul,\nthe city is the world of bodies.' When I heard indirectly of\nthis saying I realized that He was longing for the country,\nand I was sure that whatever I could do towards the carrying\nout of His wish would be successful. There was in 'Akka at\nthat time a man called Muhammad Pasha Safwat, who was\nvery much opposed to us. He had a palace called Mazra'ih,\nabout four miles north of the city, a lovely place,\nsurrounded by gardens and with a stream of running water.\nI went and called on this Pasha at his home. I said: 'Pasha,\nyou have left the palace empty, and are living in 'Akka.' He\nreplied: 'I am an invalid and cannot leave the city. If I go\nthere it is lonely and I am cut off from my friends.' I said:\n'While you are not living there and the place is empty, let it\nto us.' He was amazed at the proposal, but soon consented. I\ngot the house at a very low rent, about five pounds per\nannum, paid him for five years and made a contract. I sent\nlabourers to repair the place and put the garden in order and\nhad a bath built. I also had a carriage prepared for the use of\nthe Blessed Beauty. One day I determined to go and see the\nplace for myself. Notwithstanding the repeated injunctions\ngiven in successive firmans that we were on no account to\npass the limits of the city walls, I walked out through the\ncity gate. Gendarmes were on guard, but they made no\nobjection, so I proceeded straight to the palace. The next\nday I again went out, with some friends and officials,\nunmolested and unopposed, although the guards and\nsentinels stood on both sides of the City Gates. Another day\nI arranged a banquet, spread a table under the pine trees of\nBahji, and gathered round it the notables and officials of the\ntown. In the evening we all returned to the town together.\nOne day I went to the Holy Presence of the Blessed\nBeauty and said: 'The palace at Mazra'ih is ready for you, <p417>\nand a carriage to drive you there.' (At that time there were\nno carriages in 'Akka or Haifa.) He refused to go, saying: 'I\nam a prisoner.' Later I requested Him again, but got the\nsame answer. I went so far as to ask Him a third time, but he\nstill said 'No!' and I did not dare to insist further. There was,\nhowever, in 'Akka a certain Muhammadan Shaykh, a well-known\nman with considerable influence, who loved\nBaha'u'llah and was greatly favoured by Him. I called this\nShaykh and explained the position to him. I said, 'You are\ndaring. Go tonight to His Holy Presence, fall on your knees\nbefore Him, take hold of His hands and do not let go until\nHe promises to leave the city!' He was an Arab... He went\ndirectly to Baha'u'llah and sat close to His knees. He took\nhold of the hands of the Blessed Beauty and kissed them and\nasked: 'Why do you not leave the city?' He said: 'I am a\nprisoner.' The Shaykh replied: 'God forbid! Who has the\npower to make you a prisoner? You have kept yourself in\nprison. It was your own will to be imprisoned, and now I\nbeg you to come out and go to the palace. It is beautiful and\nverdant. The trees are lovely, and the oranges like balls of\nfire!' As often as the Blessed Beauty said: 'I am a prisoner, it\ncannot be,' the Shaykh took His hands and kissed them. For\na whole hour he kept on pleading. At last Baha'u'llah said,\n'Khayli khub (very good)' and the Shaykh's patience and\npersistence were rewarded. He came to me with great joy to\ngive the glad news of His Holiness's consent. In spite of the\nstrict firman of 'Abdu'l-'Aziz which prohibited my meeting\nor having any intercourse with the Blessed Perfection, I\ntook the carriage the next day and drove with Him to the\npalace. No one made any objection.(11)\nThis episode alone demonstrates the spiritual supremacy of Baha'u'llah, His majesty and greatness. Although the decree of the despotic Sultan condemning Him to solitary life imprisonment was still in force, it was the highest dignitary of the city of 'Akka who with great humbleness knelt before Him and insisted that He leave the prison city and take up residence wherever He wished. 'Abdu'l-Baha describes this event as one <p418> of Baha'u'llah's greatest miracles. These are the words of the Master:\nFor the Most Great Name was held prisoner and confined\nnine years in the fortress-town of 'Akka; and at all times,\nboth in the barracks and afterward, from without the house,\nthe police and farrashes had Him under constant guard. The\nBlessed Beauty lived in a very small house, and He never set\nfoot outside that narrow lodging, because His oppressors\nkept continual watch at the door. When, however, nine\nyears had elapsed, the fixed and predetermined length of\ndays was over; and at that time, against the rancorous will of\nthe tyrant, 'Abdu'l-Hamid, and all his minions, Baha'u'llah\nproceeded out of the fortress with authority and might, and\nin a kingly mansion beyond the city, made His home.\nAlthough the policy of Sultan 'Abdu'l-Hamid was\nharsher than ever; although he constantly insisted on his\nCaptive's strict confinement--still, the Blessed Beauty now\nlived, as everyone knows, with all power and glory. Some of\nthe time Baha'u'llah would spend at the Mansion, and again,\nat the farm village of Mazra'ih; for a while He would\nsojourn in Haifa, and occasionally His tent would be\npitched on the heights of Mount Carmel. Friends from\neverywhere presented themselves and gained an audience.\nThe people and the government authorities witnessed it all,\nyet no one so much as breathed a word. And this is one of\nBaha'u'llah's greatest miracles: that He, a captive, surrounded\nHimself with panoply and He wielded power. The\nprison changed into a palace, the jail itself became a Garden\nof Eden. Such a thing has not occurred in history before;\nno former age has seen its like: that a man confined to a\nprison should move about with authority and might; that\none in chains should carry the fame of the Cause of God to\nthe high heavens, should win splendid victories in both East\nand West, and should, by His almighty pen, subdue the\nworld. Such is the distinguishing feature of this supreme\nTheophany.(12)\nShoghi Effendi, the Guardian of the Baha'i Faith, has also <p419> referred to the same subject. Citing some passages from the words of Baha'u'llah and 'Abdu'l-Baha, he writes:\n'Sultan 'Abdu'l-'Aziz,' Baha'u'llah is reported by one of His\nfellow-exiles to have stated, 'banished Us to this country in\nthe greatest abasement, and since his object was to destroy\nUs and humble Us, whenever the means of glory and ease\npresented themselves, We did not reject them.' 'Now, praise\nbe to God,' He, moreover, as reported by Nabil in his\nnarrative, once remarked, 'it has reached the point when\nall the people of these regions are manifesting their submissiveness\nunto Us.' And again, as recorded in that same\nnarrative: 'The Ottoman Sultan, without any justification,\nor reason, arose to oppress Us, and sent Us to the fortress of\n'Akka. His imperial farman decreed that none should\nassociate with Us, and that We should become the object\nof the hatred of everyone. The Hand of Divine power,\ntherefore, swiftly avenged Us. It first loosed the winds of\ndestruction upon his two irreplaceable ministers and\nconfidants, 'Ali and Fu'ad, after which that Hand was\nstretched out to roll up the panoply of 'Aziz himself, and to\nseize him, as He only can seize, Who is the Mighty, the\nStrong.'\n'His enemies,' 'Abdu'l-Baha, referring to the same theme,\nhas written, 'intended that His imprisonment should\ncompletely destroy and annihilate the blessed Cause, but\nthis prison was, in reality, of the greatest assistance, and\nbecame the means of its development.' '... This illustrious\nBeing', He, moreover, has affirmed, 'uplifted His Cause\nin the Most Great Prison. From this Prison His light was\nshed abroad; His fame conquered the world, and the\nproclamation of His glory reached the East and the West.'\n'His light at first had been a star; now it became a mighty\nsun.' 'Until our time,' He, moreover, has affirmed, 'no such\nthing has ever occurred.'\nLittle wonder that, in view of so remarkable a reversal in\nthe circumstances attending the twenty-four years of His\nbanishment to 'Akka, Baha'u'llah Himself should have\npenned these weighty words: 'The Almighty... hath <p420>\ntransformed this Prison-House into the Most Exalted\nParadise, the Heaven of Heavens.'(13)\nThe sufferings of Baha'u'llah during the nine years of His confinement within the walls of the prison city of 'Akka and especially the two years in the barracks, were the most grievous of His ministry. Yet it was in this period that some of the most momentous Writings were revealed by His Pen. The Kitab-i-Aqdas, the Mother Book of the Dispensation of Baha'u'llah, described by Shoghi Effendi as the 'brightest emanation of the mind of Baha'u'llah', was revealed, as we have noted, at this time of great afflictions and sorrows. The proclamation of His Message to the kings and rulers of the world reached its final consummation during this period. And it is significant that most of His summons to the crowned heads of the world were delivered from within the confines of that prison city. It was also in this period that the foundations of the Baha'i community in the land of its birth were greatly strengthened, on the one hand by the heroism and self-sacrifice of its martyrs such as Badi', and on the other by the appearance of dedicated and highly gifted teachers of His Cause, among them the learned apologist Mirza Abu'l-Fadl.\nAnd, significantly, it was during these calamitous years, and as a direct result of the afflictions and sufferings which were heaped upon the Supreme Manifestation of God in this Most Great Prison, that enormous spiritual forces were released causing humanity to be freed of all fetters which had been placed upon it in the course of past ages and centuries. As testified by Baha'u'llah in the following Tablet, revealed in 'Akka, He had consented to be bound in chains so that generations yet unborn might find themselves freed from the curse of oppression and injustice and be enabled to live a noble life in real freedom and peace.\nThe Ancient Beauty hath consented to be bound with\nchains that mankind may be released from its bondage, and\nhath accepted to be made a prisoner within this most mighty <p421>\nstronghold that the whole world may attain unto true\nliberty. He hath drained to its dregs the cup of sorrow, that\nall the peoples of the earth may attain unto abiding joy, and\nbe filled with gladness. This is of the mercy of your Lord,\nthe Compassionate, the Most Merciful. We have accepted to\nbe abased, O believers in the Unity of God, that ye may be\nexalted, and have suffered manifold afflictions, that ye\nmight prosper and flourish. He Who hath come to build\nanew the whole world, behold, how they that have joined\npartners with God have forced Him to dwell within the\nmost desolate of cities!(14) <p422>\nThe Transfer of the Remains of the Bab\nThe remains of the Bab and His disciple Mirza Muhammad-Aliy-i-Zunuzi who was martyred with Him were taken to the edge of the moat outside the gate of the city of Tabriz on the evening of the day of martyrdom, 9 July 1850, and ten sentinels were posted to guard them.\nThe person who became instrumental in removing the remains of the Bab and His companion from the edge of the moat was His courageous and faithful follower Haji Sulayman Khan, the son of an officer in the service of the father of Muhammad Shah. He was a highly influential man. Amir Nizam, the Prime Minister of the time, was induced to spare his life, in spite of the fact that many of his fellow believers were being put to death.\nHowever, two years after the death of his Master, he too died as a martyr in a spirit of jubilant heroism, and shed a great lustre upon the infant Cause of God. It was he in whose body several incisions were made and burning candles inserted. He chanted the praises of His Lord as he was being paraded in the streets of Tihran prior to his martyrdom with blood pouring all over his body and his flesh sizzling with the flame of the candles.[1]\n[1 For details of his martyrdom see The Dawn-Breakers, pp. 610-21.]\nThe following words, uttered prior to his martyrdom and when he was informed that his life could be spared if he recanted his faith, are indicative of the courage and devotion of one who had set off from Tihran for Tabriz with the intention of rescuing the Bab from the imminent danger that threatened His life. Having arrived two days too late, he instead had <p423> carried out the dangerous and most difficult task of removing the remains of the Bab from the hands of the enemy:\n'Never, so long as my life-blood continues to pulsate in m\nveins, shall I be willing to recant my faith in my Beloved!\nThis world which the Commander of the Faithful[1] has\nlikened to carrion will never allure me from my heart's\nDesire.' He was asked to determine the manner in which he\nwished to die. 'Pierce holes in my flesh,' was the instant\nreply, 'and in each wound place a candle. Let nine candles be\nlighted all over my body, and in this state conduct me\nthrough the streets of Tihran. Summon the multitude to\nwitness the glory of my martyrdom, so that the memory of\nmy death may remain imprinted in their hearts and help\nthem, as they recall the intensity of my tribulation, to\nrecognise the Light I have embraced. After I have reached\nthe foot: of the gallows and have uttered the last prayer of my\nearthly life, cleave my body in twain and suspend my limbs\non either side of the gate of Tihran, that the multitude\npassing beneath it may witness to the love which the Faith of\nthe Bab has kindled in the hearts of His disciples, and may\nlook upon the proofs of their devotion.'(1)\n[1 Imam 'Ali. (A.T.)]\nHe died exactly as he had wished.\nOnly a few hours after his arrival in Tabriz, Haji Sulayman Khan, with the help of the Mayor of the city (who was a personal friend) succeeded in planning his strategy for the rescue of the remains of the Bab. The Mayor called on the venturous Haji Allah-yar, a courageous and daring man, to render this service to his friend. In the middle of the night Haji Allah-yar took some of his men accompanied by two Babis from Milan (a town in the province of Adhirbayijan) to the spot where the remains of the Bab and His disciple lay. The soldiers guarding the bodies did not dare to challenge the Haji's men, and in the morning they had no choice but to announce that the wild beasts at night had devoured the bodies! <p424>\nThe sacred remains were wrapped in the 'aba[1] of one of the believers and delivered to Haji Sulayman Khan who with the help of Husayn-i-Milani took them to the silk factory of Haji Ahmad, a believer of Milan. Husayn-i-Milani (who was one of the two believers accompanying Haji Allah-yar on that historic night) was later martyred in Tihran on the same day that Haji Sulayman Khan laid down his life in the path of his Beloved. For two days the remains were left in the silk factory. They were wrapped in shrouds and hidden under the bales of silk. They were then placed in a special casket and transferred to another place of safety. Haji Sulayman Khan communicated the news to Baha'u'llah and awaited His instructions.\n[1 Cloak worn by Persian men at the time.]\nIt is important to realize that the arrival of Haji Sulayman Khan at Tabriz was an act of providence directed by Baha'u'llah Himself. As soon as He was informed that the martyrdom of the Bab was imminent, Baha'u'llah had summoned Haji Sulayman Khan to His presence and instructed him to proceed immediately and speedily to Tabriz.\nNow, when the latest news reached Him, He directed His faithful brother, Mirza Musa (entitled Aqay-i-Kalim) to send a trusted person to Tabriz and bring the casket to Tihran. This was done and the sacred remains were taken via Zanjan (where they were kept for one night) to Tihran. The casket arrived at a time when Baha'u'llah had departed from Tihran for Karbila. According to His instructions the casket containing the remains of the Bab and His companion was delivered to Aqay-i-Kalim who placed it in the Shrine of Imam-Zadih Hasan[1] in a safe location. The only other person who was involved in this mission was Mirza 'Abdu'l-Karim-i-Qazvini, known as Mirza Ahmad.\n[1 A Muslim shrine in Tihran.]\nFrom there they transferred it after some time to the house of Haji Sulayman Khan in Tihran; later it was placed in the Shrine of Imam-Zadih Ma'sum. It was concealed in a northern corner of the shrine and a wall was constructed in front of it. <p425> No one except these men knew its whereabouts. But Mirza 'Abdu'l-Karim and Haji Sulayman Khan were both martyred in Tihran in 1852 during the great massacre of the Babis following an attempt on the life of Nasiri'd-Din Shah. The only person left who knew of its exact whereabouts was Aqay-i-Kalim.\nThe sacred casket remained concealed in Imam-Zadih Ma'sum until AH 1284 (1867-68). From Adrianople, Baha'u'llah directed Mirza Aqa of Kashan (entitled Munib[1]) to transfer the remains to another place. Aqay-i-Kalim briefed him as to its exact location, but Munib failed to find it. Baha'u'llah then addressed a Tablet to Mulla' Ali-Akbar-i-Shahmirzadi, known as Haji Akhund,[2] and Jamal-i-Burujird[3] instructing them to remove the casket immediately. The details of its whereabouts were again furnished by Aqay-i-Kalim.\n[2 He was appointed later as a Hand of the Cause of God. We shall refer to his life and services in the next volume.]\n[3 He was an outstanding teacher of the Faith who later became a Covenant-breaker, see vol. 2.]\nThe transfer of the remains proved to be an act of providence directed by Baha'u'llah. For very soon after, the custodians of the Shrine of Imam-Zadih Ma'sum carried out extensive reconstruction work which would have definitely revealed the secret of that precious trust reposing behind one of the walls of the Shrine. Such a discovery could have had disastrous consequences for the protection of the sacred remains.\nHaji Akhund and Jamal succeeded in finding the casket and removing it from the Shrine of Imam-Zadih Ma'sum. They carried it to a village outside Tihran in which stands the celebrated shrine of Shah 'Abdu'l-'Azim. Finding conditions unsatisfactory for depositing the casket in that area, they moved towards the village of Chashmih-'Ali. On the way they came upon the Mosque of Masha'u'llah, an old and dilapidated building which was not commonly visited by people. They waited there until sunset. Haji Akhund opened the casket and <p426> in the dim twilight gazed upon the remains of the Martyr-Prophet of the Faith. What feelings of awe, reverence and grief must have descended upon his soul and what emotions must have erupted in his heart at that time, no one can tell. But knowing the degree of his faith and devotion to the Cause and the vibrant nature of his personality we can imagine the impact of such a mighty event on his soul. It is said that he found a flower which had dried up placed on the old shroud, probably a symbol of loving devotion by Haji Sulayman Khan.\nHaji Akhund and Jamal wrapped yet another silken shroud around the remains and closed the casket. They placed it in a niche in a wall and bricked it up with old bricks which could be found in plenty in that dilapidated building.\nThat night the two returned to a village near by. The next morning they decided to visit the place on their way to the capital. Upon arrival at the spot they discovered to their consternation that someone had opened up the section of the wall and broken the casket. But soon they were relieved to find that the remains were untouched. This was the work of some men who must have seen the two placing the casket inside the old mosque and thought it was treasure of some sort, leaving it alone when they discovered it to be otherwise. Immediately Haji Akhund and Jamal closed the casket and took it away Both were riding on donkeys; one of the men held the casket in front of him and in this way proceeded towards Tihran.\nIn those days guards were placed at the gates of the cities and used to search people entering. Haji Akhund and Jamal were extremely worried in case the officials might attempt to open the casket. But Providence played its part in this episode. As the two approached the city gate, a severe gale unexpectedly arose, heavy rain began to pour and gusty winds blew it hard in every direction. Crowds of people ran through the city gate to find shelter and with them went Haji Akhund and Jamal.\nThey took the sacred casket to the home of Mirza Hasan-i-Vazir, a believer of note. Haji Akhund rented that house and lived in it as a custodian of that sacred trust. For about fourteen <p427> months it was kept in that house, but after some time its whereabouts were no longer a secret. Believers used to come from all over the country to visit the house and pray at the threshold of the room in which it was kept. Alarmed at the possible consequences of this discovery, Haji Akhund reported the matter to Baha'u'llah who by that time was imprisoned in the barracks of 'Akka. On receiving the news, Baha'u'llah ordered His Trustee Haji Shah-Muhammad to proceed immediately to Tihran and remove the holy remains to another place of safety.\nSoon after this Haji Shah-Muhammad arrived in Tihran. He handed to Haji Akhund a Tablet of Baha'u'llah addressed to him. In that Tablet Baha'u'llah had directed Haji Akhund to hand over the sacred casket to Haji Shah-Muhammad. The emphasis was on secrecy and Baha'u'llah had bidden Haji Akhund not to question the bearer of that sacred trust as to the place of its safe keeping. Once Haji Akhund had consigned the casket to the Trustee of Baha'u'llah, he did not even look to see in which direction it was carried.\nHaji Shah-Muhammad, assisted by one of the believers, succeeded in burying the casket beneath the inner sanctuary of the Shrine of Imam Zadih Zayd, where it remained for about sixteen years.\nIn the year AH 1301 (1884-85) Baha'u'llah instructed Mirza Asadu'llah-i-Isfahani,[1] one of the believers resident in Tihran, to remove the remains from Imam Zadih Zayn and take it to another place of safety. The exact location of the casket was charted by Baha'u'llah and the chart sent to Mirza Asadu'llah. It must be borne in mind here that the act of burying a casket in an Islamic shrine without anyone seeing it, and later removing it in similar circumstances, called for great wisdom, caution <p428> and courage. There is no doubt that all those who were charged by Baha'u'llah to carry out this important mission were assisted by the invisible forces of divine Providence.\n[1 He had married the sister of Munirih Khanum (the wife of 'Abdu'l-Baha). Dr. Farid was their son whose contemptible behaviour brought much sorrow to the heart of 'Abdu'l-Baha and who was eventually announced as a Covenant-breaker. Mirza Asadu'llah himself also defected towards the end of his life. ]\nMirza Asadu'llah succeeded in removing the casket from the Shrine. He first took it to his own house and kept it there for some time, then he transferred it to other localities including the houses of Husayn-'Aliy-i-Isfahani (entitled Nur) and Muhammad Karim-i-Attar where it remained hidden till the year AH 1316 (1899).\nThe manner in which the remains of the Bab were taken to these homes is interesting. It demonstrates that those who were charged with their protection carried out their task with great caution and wisdom.\nThe following is the translation of the spoken chronicle of Mirza Husayn 'Aliy-i-Isfahani concerning the transfer of the remains of the Bab to his house:\nIt was about the year 1269 (AH solar) (AD 1891) that Mirza\nAsadu'llah-i-Isfahani accompanied by his wife came to stay\nwith me at my home in Tihran... After a few days they\nintimated to me that they were on their way to the Holy\nLand, and wished to entrust me with a case containing some\nimportant items. They indicated that they would collect it\non their return home. But they emphasized that I should\npay great attention to its safe keeping. I agreed. The next\nday, he and his wife brought a wooden case and with much\nreverence placed it in a room near the entrance to the house.\nHe requested that the room be locked and no one enter it for\na day or two. We locked the room and he took the key.\nThe following day Mirza Asadu'llah and his wife brought\nan empty steel case. They went into the room and pulled the\ncurtains across. No one could see what they were doing\ninside. For about four hours they stayed inside the room\nThen they opened the door and called me in and said 'This is\nthe trust which is given to your care.'\nI saw the steel case, which was new, placed in the middle\nof the room, padlocked and sealed; a strong scent of attar of\nrose had filled the room. We placed the case inside an alcove <p429>\nin the room and one of the Baha'i youths who was a\nbricklayer closed it in with bricks.[1]\n[1 It was common practice by the believers in those days to place the Holy Writings in a steel case and bury it in the ground or place it inside a cavity in the wall and close it in with bricks, or other material.]\nThe protection and safekeeping of any trust is a difficult task, especially if one suspects that the items he is entrusted with are Tablets and Holy Writings in the handwriting of the Bab and Baha'u'llah.\nThis is why after Mirza Asadu'llah's departure, I committed myself wholeheartedly to the safekeeping of his trust. At night I used to stay in that room for hours to guard it. For some time I used to sleep in that room, but after a while I gave up sleeping there.\nAbout two years had passed when the enemies of the\nFaith in Tihran renewed their persecution against the\nBaha'is and imprisoned certain believers... There were\nrumours that the houses of the friends could be plundered.\nThis news caused us great anxiety as we were afraid that\nthe enemies might attack the house and take away the case\nwhich was entrusted to us. Therefore we held a family\nconsultation and decided that it should be hidden in a safer\nplace. Immediately we transferred the case into another\nroom... We made an opening in one of the walls, placed\nthe case vertically in the middle and re-built the wall in front\nof the case and plastered it during the night. We even lighted\na big fire inside the room so that by morning the plaster had\ndried and it did not look different from the rest of the wall.\nThat day I wrote a letter to Mirza Asadu'llah-i-Isfahani\ninforming him of the disturbances in Tihran where the\nfanatical mob and the ruffians were threatening to harm this\ninnocent community and if they found it possible they\nmight attack and plunder the homes of the believers...\nTherefore I suggested to him to return to Tihran as soon as\npossible and take away his trust.\nSome time passed and a reply came from Mirza\nAsadu'llah saying that at an appropriate time he would\nmention the situation to the Master, and when permission\nwas granted he would return to take away the case. He <p430>\narrived in Tihran about one year later, and came to our\nhouse. We took out the case from the wall and handed it to\nhim. After careful examination of the case, he took it away\nand deposited it in the house of another believer, Aqa\nMuhammad-Karim-i-Attar.\nAbout six months passed by when I received a letter from\nMirza Asadu'llah thanking me for all my efforts in\nprotecting the case which had been entrusted to me for\nabout four years. He went on to say that the trust which had\nbeen kept in my house was so precious that even my\ndescendants in the future would pride themselves on its\nsafekeeping in that house... He then revealed to me that\nthe case contained the sacred remains of the blessed Bab!...\nImmediately after reading this letter I invited some of the\nbelievers to the house and read the letter to them. We had\nsuch a glorious meeting, the like of which has seldom been\nexperienced... The lovers of that Beloved of the world\nwere ecstatic They prostrated themselves at that holy place\nand chanted joyous melodies and prayers.\nThe remains of the Bab were kept in the house of Aqa Muhammad-Karim-i-Attar until the year AH 1316 (AD 1899). As directed by 'Abdu'l-Baha, Mirza Asadu'llah, together with a number of other believers who did not know what the case contained, transported the sacred remains to the Holy Land via Baghdad, Damascus and Beirut. They arrived safely in 'Akka on 31 January 1899.\nFor ten years the sacred remains were secretly kept in the Holy Land, for a time in the home of 'Abdu'l-Baha in 'Akka and later in a place on Mount Carmel. In the meantime 'Abdu'l-Baha, in spite of great difficulties and in the midst of disturbances created by His enemies and misrepresentations by the Covenant-breakers, succeeded in building six rooms for the Shrine of the Bab on Mount Carmel at a site chosen by Baha'u'llah Himself.[1] 'Abdu'l-Baha asked the Baha'is of <p431> Rangoon to order the construction of a marble sarcophagus. This was done and the sarcophagus was presented to 'Abdu'l-Baha as a gift. It was carved out of solid stone and had the Greatest Name in the handwriting of Mishkin-Qalam[2] engraved on its sides. This together with a casket made of hardwood arrived in Haifa by sea. As there were no vehicles for its transportation, the crate containing the sarcophagus was placed on wooden rollers and dragged by men from the pier all the way up the mountain.\n[1 We shall refer to this in greater detail in the next volume when describing Baha'u'llah's visit to Mount Carmel.]\nShoghi Effendi, the Guardian of the Faith, describes the historic and moving occasion when 'Abdu'l-Baha laid to rest the sacred remains of the Bab and His companion in the Shrine He had built on Mount Carmel:\nFinally, in the very year His royal adversary lost his throne,\nand at the time of the opening of the first American Baha'i\nConvention, convened in Chicago for the purpose of\ncreating a permanent national organization for the\nconstruction of the Mashriqu'l-Adhkar, 'Abdu'l-Baha\nbrought His undertaking to a successful conclusion, in spite\nof the incessant machinations of enemies both within and\nwithout. On the 28th of the month of Safar 1327 AH, the day\nof the first Naw-Ruz (1909), which He celebrated after His\nrelease from His confinement, 'Abdu'l-Baha had the marble\nsarcophagus transported with great labour to the vault\nprepared for it, and in the evening, by the light of a single\nlamp, He laid within it, with His own hands--in the\npresence of believers from the East and from the West and in\ncircumstances at once solemn and moving--the wooden\ncasket containing the sacred remains of the Bab and His\nWhen all was finished, and the earthly remains of the\nMartyr-Prophet of Shiraz were, at long last, safely\ndeposited for their everlasting rest in the bosom of God's\nholy mountain, 'Abdu'l-Baha, Who had cast aside His\nturban, removed His shoes and thrown off His cloak, bent\nlow over the still open sarcophagus, His silver hair waving <p432>\nabout His head and His face transfigured and luminous,\nrested His forehead on the border of the wooden casket,\nand, sobbing aloud, wept with such a weeping that all those\nwho were present wept with Him. That night He could not\nsleep, so overwhelmed was He with emotion.\n'The most joyful tidings is this,' He wrote later in a Tablet\nannouncing to His followers the news of this glorious\nvictory, 'that the holy, the luminous body of the Bab...\nafter having for sixty years been transferred from place to\nplace, by reason of the ascendancy of the enemy, and from\nfear of the malevolent, and having known neither rest nor\ntranquillity has, through the mercy of the Abba Beauty,\nbeen ceremoniously deposited, on the day of Naw-Ruz,\nwithin the sacred casket, in the exalted Shrine on Mt.\nCarmel... By a strange coincidence, on that same day of\nNaw-Ruz,[1] a cablegram was received from Chicago,\nannouncing that the believers in each of the American\ncentres had elected a delegate and sent to that city... and\ndefinitely decided on the site and construction of the\nMashriqu'l-Adhkar.'(2)\n[1 See vol. 1, p. 268, for another important incident on that day. (A.T.)] <p433>\nMirza Abu'l-Fadl of Gulpaygan\nThe conversion of Mirza Abu'l-Fadl to the Faith of Baha'u'llah is described in Chapter 5 He was to become the foremost scholar of that Faith.\nThe teaching activities of Mirza Abu'l-Fadl began soon after he embraced the Faith. Almost all his Baha'i career, stretching over a period of well-nigh forty years, was spent in teaching the Cause to members of the public and in deepening the Baha'is in the verities of the Faith.\nAbout five years after Mirza Abu'l-Fadl joined the ranks of the believers, Baha'u'llah in a Tablet(1) commanded him to arise in His Name and invite the peoples of the world to come to him so that he might recount to them the news of the 'Most Great Announcement', might show them the vista of the 'Most Exalted Horizon' and might enable them to hearken to the 'Voice of God' in this day.\nThis Tablet and the command of Baha'u'llah exerted a galvanizing influence upon Mirza Abu'l-Fadl. Some time later, quoting this Tablet and knowing that the confirmations of Baha'u'llah would surround him from every direction he wrote these challenging words addressed to the peoples of the world:\nAnd lately this servant who considers himself to be the most\ninsignificant among the servants of the Lord of creation, and\none who has quaffed only a drop from the ocean of\ncertitude, is prepared, bearing in mind the auspicious\nutterances of the Lord of Lords quoted above,[1] to inform <p434>\nany person of any nationality in the world of the truth of\nthis great Cause, and to prove to him its authenticity based\non the clear proofs by which the truth of that person's\nreligion is also established. If he be of the people of\nphilosophy and logic, to prove by intellectual and rational\nproofs, and if he belongs to the people of controversy and\ncontention, to convince and silence him by adducing\ncompelling and binding proofs. This is in order that the\nright path may be distinguished from the path of error, truth\nfrom falsehood and health from disease. And, in what we\nsay, we rely entirely upon God, exalted be He.(2)\n[1 A reference to the Tablet of Baha'u'llah which had been revealed for him.]\nThey were not mere empty words that this great and godly man wrote and published in the Fara'id, one of his outstanding works. He lived up to everything he said. Not only did he hold discourses with countless souls of different backgrounds and religions, and converted hundreds of them to the Cause, but he also left for posterity the fundamentals of Baha'i proofs from every point of view, that generations yet unborn might learn from them and deepen their knowledge and understanding of the Faith of Baha'u'llah.\nMirza Abu'l-Fadl was renowned for his knowledge. His name 'Abu'l-Fadl' which he had adopted when he was a Muslim, means the father of knowledge. 'Abdu'l-Baha in a Tablet addresses him as the father of knowledge, its mother and its brother. But those who knew him have testified that as far as his knowledge and understanding were concerned there was a vast difference before and after he was a Baha'i. He himself has testified that before his coming in contact with the Faith of Baha'u'llah he was the embodiment of vain imaginings and idle fancy and his vision was obscured by these. Haji Mirza Haydar-'Ali writes of him:\nHis honour, the dearly loved Abu'l-Fadl,... has adorned\nthe City of Isfahan with his presence. Since formerly he was a\nstudent in Isfahan, he is well known by the scholars and men\nof learning here. These men have met him and have realized <p435>\nthat he is not the same person as in the past. They confess\nthat his vast knowledge, learning and power of utterance\nputs him in the forefront of all. In the past he was as a drop,\nnow he is as a billowing sea. He was then as a mere atom and\nnow he shines as a brilliant star...(3)\nSoon after embracing the Faith of Baha'u'llah Mirza Abu'l-Fadl was forced to leave his post as head of a theological college in Tihran. The high esteem and honour in which he was held by the public as well as in government and ecclesiastical circles up till then, turned into abasement and persecution. He was twice imprisoned, the last time for about twenty-two months. He lived very modestly and earned a small income, often working as a scribe.[1] His attachment to Baha'u'llah knew no bounds. But he was as detached from this world as he was attached to His Lord, and this alone conferred upon him all his powers and virtues. Prayer and meditation were the cornerstone of his life and through them he polished the mirror of his heart so perfectly that he radiated the light of the Faith of Baha'u'llah to those who came into contact with him When he was in Egypt, he did not disclose his faith at first This was suggested to him by 'Abdu'l-Baha. A great many scholars and professors of the famous University of Al-Azhar and others recognized the depth and profundity of his knowledge and were attracted to his person. Since they did not suspect him of being a Baha'i there was no prejudice and they congregated around him in great numbers. So earnest was their quest for the outpouring of spiritual knowledge from his lips that they sat spellbound at his feet and some of them were enraptured with his explanations of the verities of the Qur'an and other spiritual subjects.\n[1 In those days people who were illiterate would engage the services of a scribe to write letters for them. Mirza Abu'l-Fadl also used to earn a small sum of money by transcribing Baha'i holy books, which were in great demand by the believers.]\nTo cite one example of the homage that men of learning paid <p436> to Mirza Abu'l-Fadl, the following is a tribute by 'Abdu'r-Rahman-i-Baraquqi, a learned scholar and journalist of the time:\nAbout eight years ago we heart that a learned man from\nPersia by the name of Abu'l-Fadl was living in Cairo. We\nwere told that he had become a point of adoration for\nscholars and a centre of pilgrimage for those who yearn after\nknowledge and understanding. We sought his abode and\nwent to see him. There we saw a man of slender build and of\nmedium height. He was old, more than seventy Years of age,\nbut from the point of view of vitality, zest, intelligence and\nkeenness of insight he looked like a man of thirty... He\ncaptivated our minds through the magic of his words and\nthe sweetness of his utterances. Soon we became his devoted\ndisciples in such wise that there was nothing more enjoyable\nthan to sit at his feet and no story could be found sweeter\nthan that which was recounted by him. The more we\nassociated with him and examined his person, the more we\nrespected him and became conscious of his exalted station.(4)\nAmong those scholars who venerated Mirza Abu'l-Fadl there were some who went as far as to believe that he was endowed with divine powers which are bestowed only upon God's chosen ones. One such person was a certain Shaykh Badru'd-Din-i-Ghazzi who later became an ardent believer, as about thirty other scholars did when they learned that Mirza Abu'l-Fadl was a Baha'i.\nShaykh Badru'd-Din describes how he was enraptured by listening to Mirza Abu'l-Fadl's discourses. After some time he came to the conclusion that Mirza Abu'l-Fadl was one of the chosen ones of God, possessed of a great spiritual station and exalted above other men. In a spoken chronicle to a number of friends, he said:\nI asked him about his station and he said that he did not have\nany. One day I told him plainly: 'O Master, why do you\nhide from me? If you are a chosen one of God and have a <p437>\nstation, please tell me, for I will accept and follow you.' He\nlaughed at this statement and deferred the answer to this\nmystery to a later time. Time passed and I had to depart for\nPalestine. He then bade me attain the presence of 'Abdu'l-Baha\nwhile there. I obeyed, attained His presence and\ndiscovered the truth of the Cause.\nSome years passed and I did not see Mirza Abu'l-Fadl.\nWhen I returned to Egypt, I met him there, and said to him:\n'When in the past I came in contact with you, I considered\nyou to be a unique person and one without a peer in this\nworld, but when I attained the holy presence of the Master,\nI realized that you are no more than a drop in relation to that\nbillowing ocean.' Hearing this, Mirza Abu'l-Fadl became\nfilled with joy, and in a state of ecstasy threw his arms\naround me and said: 'Now I know that you have recognized\nthe truth.'(5)\nA striking feature of the life of Mirza Abu'l-Fadl was his absolute submission to the will of his Lord. His steadfastness in the Covenant and obedience to the wishes of Baha'u'llah and the Master knew no bounds. He would rather die than contemplate even a small deviation from the words and teachings of the Cause. The following story recounted by a certain believer, Husayn-i-Ruhi Effendi, who knew Mirza Abu'l-Fadl, illustrates this point clearly.\nWhen I was in 'Akka, I procured a copy of a Tablet of\n'Abdu'l-Baha known as Lawh-i-Dukhan which is written\nin honour of Muhammad-Husayn-i-Vakil... When I\narrived in Egypt I shared the contents of this Tablet which\ndisapproved of smoking[1] with Mirza Abu'l-Fadl.\n[1 This Tablet in the West is known as the 'Tablet of Purity' and is published in 'Abdu'l-Baha, Selections, pp. 146-50. Smoking is not forbidden in the Baha'i Faith, but 'Abdu'l-Baha has discouraged it for the sake of health and cleanliness.]\nI had not yet finished the reading of the Tablet for him\nwhen he took his cigar case, threw it out in the street and\nsaid that this was the end of smoking for him, although he <p438>\nwas a chain-smoker. He used to roll his own cigarettes by\nhand, light a new one with the old, and smoke non-stop\nfrom morning till evening. He said to me: 'O Ruhi Effendi, I\nhave been smoking for fifty-five years and I am addicted to\nit. And, soon you will see that because of the effect of\nnicotine a member of my body will be paralysed.\nIt did not take very long until one of his arms was\nparalysed and he could not move it. This lasted for two\nyears. The doctors strongly urged him to resume smoking\nbut he refused, saying, 'I prefer to die than to disobey\n'Abdu'l-Baha.'(6)\nThe following is an extract from the Lawh-i-Dukhan:\nObserve how pleasing is cleanliness in the sight of God, and\nhow specifically it is emphasized in the Holy Books of the\nProphets; for the Scriptures forbid the eating or the use of\nany unclean thing. Some of these prohibitions were\nabsolute, and binding upon all, and whoso transgressed the\ngiven law was abhorred of God and anathematized by the\nbelievers. Such, for example, were things categorically\nforbidden, the perpetration of which was accounted a most\ngrievous sin, among them actions so loathsome that it is\nshameful even to speak their name.\nBut there are other forbidden things which do not cause\nimmediate harm, and the injurious effects of which are only\ngradually produced: such acts are also repugnant to the\nLord, and blameworthy in His sight, and repellent. The\nabsolute unlawfulness of these, however, hath not been\nexpressly set forth in the Text, but their avoidance is\nnecessary to purity, cleanliness, the preservation of health,\nand freedom from addiction.\nAmong these latter is smoking tobacco, which is dirty,\nsmelly, offensive--an evil habit, and one the harmfulness of\nwhich gradually becometh apparent to all. Every qualified\nphysician hath ruled--and this hath also been proved by\ntests--that one of the components of tobacco is a deadly\npoison, and that the smoker is vulnerable to many and\nvarious diseases. This is why smoking hath been plainly set\nforth as repugnant from the standpoint of hygiene... <p439>\nMy meaning is that in the sight of God, smoking tobacco is deprecated, abhorrent, filthy in the extreme; and, albeit by degrees, highly injurious to health. It is also a waste of money and time, and maketh the user a prey to a noxious addiction. To those who stand firm in the Covenant, this habit is therefore censured both by reason and experience, and renouncing it will bring relief and peace of mind to all men. Furthermore, this will make it possible to have a fresh mouth and unstained fingers, and hair that is free of a foul and repellent smell. On receipt of this missive, the friends will surely, by whatever means and even over a period of time, forsake this pernicious habit. Such is my hope.\nAs to opium, it is foul and accursed. God protect us from the punishment He inflicteth on the user. According to the explicit Text of the Most Holy Book, it is forbidden, and its use is utterly condemned. Reason showeth that smoking opium is a kind of insanity, and experience attesteth that the user is completely cut off from the human kingdom. May God protect all against the perpetration of an act so hideous as this, an act which layeth in ruins the very foundation of what it is to be human, and which causeth the user to be dispossessed for ever and ever. For opium fasteneth on the soul, so that the user's conscience dieth, his mind is blotted away, his perceptions are eroded. It turneth the living into the dead. It quencheth the natural heat. No greater harm can be conceived than that which opium inflicteth. Fortunate are they who never even speak the name of it; then think how wretched is the user...\nMake ye then a mighty effort, that the purity and sanctity which, above all else, are cherished by 'Abdu'l-Baha, shall distinguish the people of Baha; that in every kind of excellence the people of God shall surpass all other human beings; that both outwardly and inwardly they shall prove superior to the rest; that for purity, immaculacy, refinement, and the preservation of health, they shall be leaders in the vanguard of those who know. And that by their freedom from enslavement, their knowledge, their self-control, they shall be first among the pure, the free and the wise.(7) <p440>\nAnd, finally, the writings of Mirza Abu'l-Fadl are the best proof that his person was assisted by the powers and confirmations of Baha'u'llah. It is no exaggeration to claim that apart from the Holy Writings and those of Shoghi Effendi, the Guardian of the Faith, his are the most inspiring, the most informative, the most challenging and the most voluminous, in the literature of the Faith of Baha'u'llah. He may be described as the most able spiritual diver who immersed himself in the ocean of the Revelation of Baha'u'llah and brought out in profusion pearls of infinite preciousness--truths and mysteries which lay hidden in its depths and filled the pages of his numerous books with their verities. Almost all the Baha'i teachers in the East have used his writings as a basis for deeper study of religion in general, and proofs of the Faith of Baha'u'llah in particular. His explanations and profuse quotations from the Holy Scriptures of the past, as well as the apologies he has written in defence of the Faith have been used by scholars and writers of both East and West.\nIt is beyond the scope of this book to enumerate the vast range of his writings or write in appreciation of them. Suffice it to say that from the literary point of view alone his writings have been acclaimed by critics of the time as superb, while their contents have, on the one hand, inspired the friends and the fair-minded, and on the other, discomfited and silenced the enemies. Indeed, one of his great contributions to the promotion and protection of the Faith of Baha'u'llah is his voluminous oeuvre in defence of the Cause. Whenever the enemies opposed or misrepresented the Faith, his pen was ready to defend it with a vigour and assertiveness that confounded the enemy and strengthened the friends. The book of Fara'id, over 800 pages, written without revising or improving his original draft, from which it was printed, is the best example.\nIn praise of those who arise to defend His Faith, Baha'u'llah declares: <p441>\nany tongue describe its splendour. For whosoever standeth\nto face and withstand all that is in heaven and on earth. Of\nthis God is Himself a witness.(8) <p442>\nThe Burial of the Purest Branch and the Mother of 'Abdu'l-Baha\nfrom an article by Ruhiyyih Rabbani(1)\nThe garden is dark. Twilight has fallen on Mount Carmel and the veils of dusk have deepened over the bay of 'Akka. A group of men stand waiting by the gate, beneath the steps. Suddenly there is a stir, the gardener runs to illumine the entrance and amidst the white shafts of light a procession appears. A man clothed in black rests the weight of a coffin on his shoulder. It is the Guardian of the Cause and he bears the mortal remains of the Purest Branch, Baha'u'llah's beloved son. Slowly he and his fellow bearers mount the narrow path and in silence approach the house adjacent to the resting place of the Greatest Holy Leaf. A devoted servant speeds ahead with rug and candelabra from the Holy Shrines and swiftly prepares the room. The gentle, strong face of the Guardian appears as he enters the door, that precious weight always on his shoulder, and the coffin is laid temporarily to rest in an humble room, facing Bahji, the Qiblih of the Faith. Again those devoted servants, led by their Guardian, return to the gate and again remount the path with another sacred burden, this time the body of the wife of Baha'u'llah, the mother of the Master.\nWhat a wave of joy seems to come onward with those simple processions! A joy indefinable, touched with deep tenderness and pathos. Like a great white pearl the marble temple marking the grave of Bahiyyih Khanum glows in the light of its reflectors, seeming afire on the dark mountain side, lighting up and watching over those two approaching the scene of their last resting place. <p443>\nWhen we enter to pay our respects to those beloved, revered and long since departed ones, their presence seems to fill the room. At last, after seventy years, that saintly mother lies reunited beside her son of whom Baha'u'llah wrote: 'He was created of the light of Baha.' Side by side, facing 'Akka, the sweet fumes of attar of rose with which they have been anointed by the Guardian filling the room, they lie. And above them, lit by the flickering lights of the sentinel candles, the picture of The Greatest Holy Leaf hangs, her beautiful eyes, so full of love and that purity which is goodness itself, looking out over her mother and brother. What cause for joy and gratitude!\nThat tender youth, born to affliction, reared in exile, died in prison, buried in solitary haste! Here he lies, raised up from the earth by the hands of the Guardian of his Father's Faith, removed from the lonely isolation of the Arab cemetery where he had been interred so long ago and placed beside his illustrious sister and holy mother, that mother who was affectionately known as 'Buyuk Khanum' or 'Great Lady.' Slender, stately, lovely to look on with white skin and blue eyes and dark hair; she who, when Baha'u'llah was thrown into the dungeon of Tihran, was abandoned by friend and foe alike and who purchased food for her children by selling the gold buttons of her robes; she who was forced to leave this same son, then a delicate child of four, behind her when she followed Baha'u'llah into exile; she whose tender hands, unaccustomed to work, bled as she washed the clothes of her family; who remained patient, devout, serene and selfless to the end of her life, and who was laid to rest near 'Akka in a cemetery away from her son, now lies beside him, so to remain forever more.\nAs we meditate beside those two eloquent coffins, covered with woven cloths, strewn with jasmine from the Threshold of the Bab's Tomb, so all pervading is the presence of their spirits--or maybe it Is their memory, as perfume lingers when the flower is withered--that the very room they rest in for so short a while becomes itself filled with the sweet peace of a shrine.\nNot only has the Guardian raised them to rest in their <p444> rightful graves, put them where the whole world may see their honor and their glory, but in some mysterious way he has given them back to us. So long ago they passed away, so quietly, in days of such turmoil and oppression, were they laid to rest, that their places, at least to us of the West, were on written pages of the history of our Faith. But now their places are in our hearts. The veil of time and obscurity separating us has been rent asunder, and we find, to our joy and astonishment, two glowing and holy figures drawing nigh to us, entering into our lives, and ready to help us on that path which leads to their Lord and ours, Baha'u'llah...\nBaha'u'llah asked of His dying son if he desired to live, but he replied that his sole desire was that the gates of the prison should be opened so that the believers might visit their Lord. Baha'u'llah granted that youth's earnest wish and sat beside His youngest son as they made him ready for the grave, and it was in those tragic circumstances that He revealed the following: 'At this very moment My son is being washed before My face after Our having sacrificed him in the Most Great Prison...' 'Glorified art Thou, O Lord, My God! Thou seest Me in the hands of Mine enemies, and My son blood-stained before My face!' Such sentences as these were wrung from the heart of the Blessed Beauty as He gazed upon His child. But then thundering forth came these marvelous words: 'I have, O My Lord, offered up that which Thou has given Me, that Thy servants may be quickened and all that dwell on earth be united.' The tremendous significance of these words is inescapable; Baha'u'llah designates to His own child the role of blood offering in order that the unity of all men which He has proclaimed may come about. The sacrifice of Isaac by Abraham is accomplished.\nAfter, in secrecy, poverty, and haste, the Purest Branch had been interred, his gentle mother, the victim of so many sorrows and deprivations, saddened and wept unceasingly Baha'u'llah on learning of her plight came to her and assured her she had no cause for grief for God had accepted this precious son as His Ransom to draw not only the believers nigh unto their Lord but to unify all the sons of men. After hearing these words that saintly soul was greatly comforted <p445> and ceased to mourn her heavy loss.\nAnd who was such a mother? Not merely a holy and faithful woman, willing in the path of God to sacrifice her all, but she of whom Isaiah, in his 54th chapter, says:[1] 'For thy Maker is thy husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; the God of the whole earth shall he be called.' 'For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee. And she to whom Baha'u'llah revealed the following: 'Hear thou Me once again, God is well pleased with thee... He hath made thee to be His companion in every one of His worlds and hath nourished thee with His meeting and presence so long as His name and His remembrance and His kingdom and His empire shall endure.'\n[1 The authority for this statement is the words of 'Abdu'l-Baha Himself in Tablets of 'Abdu'l-Baha, vol. 1, p. 107. (R.R.)]\nHow fleeting and priceless the days that this mother and son lie side by side in that small room! To be privileged to draw close--in that strange and pitiful closeness one feels to a coffin in which all that remains of dear ones after the soul has flown rests, a token and reminder of our common mortality and immortality--is something never to be forgotten. Thousands will read these Prayers and Tablets of Baha'u'llah and 'Abdu'l-Baha forever immortalizing them. They will supplicate those radiant spirits to intercede on their behalf. They will seek humbly to follow in their noble footsteps. But it will never, so it seems to me, be as sweet and touching as to see them Lying there together under the watchful eyes of Bahiyyih Khanum.\nWhilst their tombs were still in process of excavation from the solid rock of the mountain, the Guardian had learned that the Covenant-Breakers were protesting against the right of the Baha'is to remove the Mother and brother of 'Abdu'l-Baha to new graves, actually having the temerity to represent to the government their so called claim as relatives of the deceased. As soon, however, as the civil authorities had the true state of facts made clear to them--that these same relatives had been the arch-enemies of the Master and His family, had left the true Cause of Baha'u'llah to follow their own devices, and had been <p446> denounced by 'Abdu'l-Baha in His Will and Testament--they approved the plan of the Guardian and immediately issued the necessary papers for the exhumation of the bodies. Without risking further delay Shoghi Effendi, two days later, himself removed the Purest Branch and his mother to Mount Carmel where, watched over by the loving devotion of the believers, and safeguarded from any danger of insult or injury, they could await, close to Bahiyyih Khanum's shrine, their reinterment.\nThe last stone is laid in the two vaults, the floors are paved in marble, the name plates fixed to mark their heads, the earth smoothed out, the path that leads to their last resting place built, but storm and rain sweep unceasingly over the crest of the mountain postponing the final arrangements until the day before Christmas dawns, bright and clear, as if a sign that this is the appointed time. At sunset we all gather in that humble, twice blessed house. We hear the voice of one of the oldest and most devoted believers of the Near East raised, at the command of his Guardian, in prayer. Tremulous, faint, yet filled with a poignant faith and love hard to describe but never to be forgotten, he prays. As voice follows voice, one of them that of the Guardian himself, it seems as if one could almost hear the refrain of those prayers sung in triumphant joy by an invisible concourse on high.\nAnd now, again on the shoulder of the Guardian, the are borne forth to lie in state in the Holy Tomb of the Bab. Side by side, far greater than the great of this world, they lie by that sacred threshold, facing Bahji, with candles burning at their heads and flowers before their feet. It is the eve of the birth of Christ. She who was foretold of Isaiah, he who was the son of Him of Whom Jesus said: 'Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth,' rest quietly here their last night before the earth hides them forever more from the eyes of men.\nThe following sunset we gather once again in that Holy Shrine. The Guardian chants the Tablet of Visitation, first in the Tomb of the Bab, then in the Tomb of the Master. The privileged friends who have been able to make the pilgrimage to Haifa for this sacred occasion enter with the Guardian a <p447> second time the Bab's Shrine. Slowly, held aloft on the hands of the faithful, led by Shoghi Effendi, who never relinquishes his precious burden, first the mother of 'Abdu'l-Baha and then the Purest Branch are ushered from that Holy Spot. Once they circumambulate the Shrines, the coffin of beloved Mihdi, supported by the Guardian, followed by that of the Master's mother, passes us slowly by. Around the Shrine, onward through the lighted garden, down the white path, out onto the moonlit road, that solemn procession passes. High, seeming to move of themselves, above the heads of those following, the coffins wend their way. They mount the steps and once again enter that gate leading to Bahiyyih Khanum's resting place. They pass before us, outlined against the night sky, across whose face fitful clouds make sport of the full moon. They approach, the face of the Guardian close to that priceless burden he bears. They pass on towards the waiting vaults.\nNow they lay the Purest Branch to rest. Shoghi Effendi himself enters the carpeted vault and gently eases the coffin to its preordained place. He himself strews it with flowers, his hands the last to caress it. The mother of the Master is then placed in the same manner by the Guardian in the neighbouring vault. Not six feet apart they rest. The silent faces of the believers in the brilliant light of the lamps, form a waiting circle. Masons are called to seal the tombs. Respectfully and deftly they fulfil their task. Flowers are heaped upon the vaults and the Guardian sprinkles a vial of attar of rose upon them. The pungent scent is caught UP on the breeze and bathes our faces. And now the voice of Shoghi Effendi is raised as he chants those Tablets revealed by Baha'u'llah and destined by Him to be read at their graves.\nSurely this is a dream? It cannot be I that stand here gazing at these new-made graves, laid in the breast of ancient Carmel! Beneath me stretches an endless vista. 'Akka gleams white across the bay, that onetime prison city where these two were so long captives, near which they were once buried. The reaches of the sea and plain lie before me, opening out to where the moon silvers the rims of the mountains of the Holy Land, the Land of the Prophets, the Land of the loved ones of God, the Land chosen to be the Seat of the Ark of God in this most <p448> glorious Day. Forever and increasingly about the resting place of this mother, sister, brother of 'Abdu'l-Baha, the life-giving activities of their Faith will gather. Close to them, focused on their shrines, great institutions will rise to strengthen the soul and body of mankind. And forever interwoven with those institutions will be the memory and example of these three holy persons. Their way has become our way and they lead us on before, heading the ranks of Baha'u'llah's followers. <p449>\n'ABDU'L-BAHA.

        "raw_content": "The ABCs of Death is a spin on classic children\u2019s books, with each letter of the alphabet representing a different way to die. There was a competition to bring together 26 different segments from 26 different directors for the storybook. Each letter lasts about 3-5 minutes, if one is easily offended or can not stomach gore, this is not a good film choice. For someone such as myself, whose favorite movies are the Saw series, Human Centipede, and Hobo with a Shotgun, this movie was perfect. Tim League, the co-producer, referred to his film as the \u201cperverted\u201d version of children\u2019s books. He cautioned that the film could be very upsetting to pregnant women and parents.\nAs a self-proclaimed disturbing-film-fanatic, I have never been so disturbed or on the verge of any other film. Having eaten through Human Centipede 1 & 2 and laughing through Hobo with a Shotgun, I was shocked by Abcs of Death, spending most of the letter segments peeking through my fingertips just in case.\nComical relief was much needed by the letter \u201cF,\u201d thankfully it was delivered. Luckily for the viewers periodically we were given a break from the grotesque sequences flashing across the screen.\nSome directors were much more creative than others, but all-in-all everyone did a great job putting together their shorts. The letters that stood out the most were \u201cF\u201d, \u201cL\u201d, \u201cM\u201d and \u201cY\u201d to me. Each was different, \u201cM\u201d stood out because it was the only letter I did not like. I found it uncreative and predictable. The letter \u201cY\u201d I found the most unique and it was actually gag-causing. When I later discovered the letter \u201cY\u201d was directed by the director of Hobo with a Shotgun, I was no longer surprised at how well it was put together and how well done it was.\nI recommend seeing the ABCs of Death only if you can stomach gore movies and are not overly-sensitive. This is the most disturbing, offensive, twisted and perverted film of 2012.\nJames Bowen, senior at HPU, gives his reaction to ABCs of Death:\nJames Bowen REACTION",

Within this device are hundreds of creditable people who know just what to say when I need advice or just listen to a nonsense pick-me-up. Although most of these people are/were celebrities, and their lives are probably anything but average, the sounds they make connect with us strongly.\nShuffle Is Your Best Friend\nBecause amazing things happen at random. Get out your handy-dandy music player, press shuffle, and see what happens.\nI got out my iPhone, hooked up my headphones, opened the Music App, selected \u2018Songs\u2019, scrolled all the way up above the letter \u2018A\u2019 and pressed \u2018Shuffle\u2019. Of the 2207 songs, these are the first 3 consecutive ones that played:\nBeck \u2013 Peaches & Cream\nThe first track that comes up is Beck\u2019s \u201cPeaches & Cream\u201c. Don\u2019t tell your right hand, baby, what your left hand do. In fact, it\u2019s probably a good idea to not talk to your hands at all. That\u2019s just weird, man.\nSublime \u2013 Burritos\nNext is Sublime\u2019s \u201cBurritos,\u201d which names of a bunch of stuff he doesn\u2019t wanna do and suddenly, you think of a bunch of stuff you don\u2019t wanna do, either. I have my own ever-growing list of stuff I don\u2019t wanna do. And I don\u2019t even wanna write out that list. And I sure as hell don\u2019t wanna eat burritos. They don\u2019t go with my coffee.

You may be very disappointed when you realize which people were never truly your friends, but it gets better. After riding trains to end of lines for a while, like you\u2019ve got nothing but time, you\u2019ll move on. With your left foot in front of right, you\u2019ll meet more new people along the way and make new friends. Friends who accept you as you are. People who prefer the main streets and hide the side streets, never really belonged in your life in the first place.\nCheck out if your music player has something along the lines of \u201cTop 25 Most Played\u201d list and see what the #1 song is on your list.

If you want to find the right answers, you should take the time to focus on the options you have at hand, how they can help you and commit to the one that provides a proper solution. This is not the easiest choice to make, but will be able to make it if you take the time to search for the right answers.\nA truck driver has a lot of different opportunities when it comes to a career. Hauling big loads from one place to the other will provide the opportunity to see the country and meet new people on every trip. You can enjoy your time along the way no matter where you will go next. If this sounds like a solution for your career, you have to take a number of steps to make it happen.\nSigning up with a truck school is the first option you have to consider. This means you have to find the one that will provide all the answers you need when you want to become a truck driver, but it will imply a hefty effort along the way. You have to study and you have to spend a lot of time behind the wheel so you can hone your skills and be ready for the open road in the end.\nThe first answer you should get from the truck driving school is to find a guide that will allow you to learn for the theoretical exam. First you have to learn how to behave behind the wheel and then you can start driving. Once you get the guide, it is time to study and you have to commit to it because the final test is not too easy. If you do not pass this test, you will not be able to drive.\nOnce you have the CDL permit that allows you to start learning, you must find out more about what the truck school is able to offer. Each student will learn at a certain pace and you must be sure they offer the solution for it. You have to find courses that will range between 2 weeks and go all the way to 3 months. It is important to choose the program that suits your needs best.\nIf you have been through this already, but you are looking for a way to refresh your knowledge before you take the final test, the trucking school has to provide a number of courses so you can get back on track. You can spend a few hours with an instructor before the day of the exam or you can do this every day for a week prior to it. You must know how much time you need for it.\nIf you know everything there is to know about driving a truck and you want to take the exam to get your license, one of the things you may need for it is a vehicle. There are schools that allow you to rent a truck for two hours so you can take the exam even if you did not take their classes. This is a solution that provides the means to pass the test and show your skills behind the wheel.\nThe reputation of the truck driving school is one of the first criteria you should focus on before you make up your mind. There are quite a few options on the market today and each of them will promise results, but they may not deliver. If you take the time to learn more about the reputation they have in the field, you will know it is one of the best choices you have to make for a school.\nUsing the web is one of the best solutions you can turn to because it is going to provide all the answers you need in a very short period of time. The website of the trucking school is the first one you have to visit to find answers and you should learn as much as you can about it. You can rely on the reviews of the users to get an idea about what you can expect once you will sign up.\nThis is a career opportunity that you can make the most of for the rest of your life. If you want to take the right steps from the start, you have to find the right source for answers.\nResource box: A truck school is the place where you can learn how to drive a big rig, but there are quite a few other answers you can use.

In remembrance of this national tragedy, Governor John Hickenlooper (and the State of Colorado) and Mayor Michael Hancock (and the City and County of Denver), in partnership with The Counterterrorism Education Learning Lab (The CELL), The Denver Post and AEGLive Rocky Mountains, are hosting a commemorative event and concert to honor victims, first responders and members of the U.S. Armed Forces on September 11, 2011, at Civic Center Park from 1:00 pm to 6:00 pm. The event is free and open to the public. The event will feature a special musical tribute by The Beach Boys, Tyler Ward and a performance by the Colorado Symphony.\nThe Colorado Symphony, led by resident conductor Scott O'Neil, will perform several poignant and patriotic favorites by American composers. Among the works featured is Copland's Fanfare for the Common Man. Composed in 1942 in response to the entry of the U.S. into World War II, it was partly inspired by a speech made by vice president Henry A. Wallace proclaiming the dawning of the \"Century of the Common Man.\"\nIn addition, the Colorado Symphony will perform John Williams' Liberty Fanfare, which was composed in 1986 to celebrate the centennial of the Statue of Liberty, as well as Gould's American Salute, composed during World War II and inspired by the Civil War song \"When Johnny Comes Marching Home.\"\nThe Colorado Symphony will also feature Barber's Adagio for Strings. Composed in 1936 and premiered in New York in 1938 during a national live radio broadcast conducted by Arturo Toscanini, it was one of the few American works to be played in the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Today, it is considered among the 20th-century's most popular works.\nThe event program will begin with a remembrance procession, led by the Colorado National Guard, firefighters, law enforcement, first responders and memorial pipes and drums, which will be followed by a presentation by the Honor Guard, a wreath laying ceremony, firing salute, taps and a military flyover.\nLawn seating will be available on a first-come, first-served basis; arriving early is greatly encouraged, as are the use of blankets or low-rise concert/beach chairs. Attendees are welcome to bring their own picnics. Concessions will also be available on-site. The event will take place rain or shine.\nDenver Free Orchestral",

A little boy attended \u201cEcole de Louvre\u201d in Paris and then moved to New York. After having attended the \u201cEcole de Louvre\u201d in Paris, he created a photography agency in New York (USA) specializing in decoration and interior design. During these shoots in Mexico, England, Italie or India that he acquired his taste for design, the sense of volumes and the game of colors. All these elements become decisive for the rest of his career.\nThis focus on design led Pinto to take up interior design almost four decades ago. The 17th century private residence at the Place des Victoires in Paris was the home of Pinto\u2019s interior design and decoration agency. The agency consists of 60 people who work on the design of large scale and atypical places, such as private residences, corporations, hotels, yachts, and private jets. Notable projects include the Oceanco\u2019s Yacht Y708and the Seaside Hotel Palm Beach, in Maspalomas.\nSEE ALSO : 5 TOP STAIRS IDEAS FOR YOUR HOUSE!\nThe projects that came out of his 70-person Paris office were often swashbucklingly dynamic, replete with overscale patterns, bold color schemes, and sumptuous appointments that found favor with Middle Eastern royals and international captains of industry. A study in Cairo was paneled with wood inlaid \u00e0 la parquet de Versailles, while a Geneva dining room\u2019s Louis XVI scheme seemed to await the arrival of Marie Antoinette.\nIn fact, for Alberto Pinto very few styles seemed beyond his talents. the proof for this, may be his quote. \u201cI have no specific style or period that I am especially fond of,\u201d adding, however, that he was enamored with \u201cimmense rooms, partly because I pride myself on knowing how to bring together immensity and comfort. Most people are afraid of houses on a grand scale, but I\u2019ve always been completely at home in them.\u201d\nClassic look of french design \u2013 CHRISTIAN LIAIGRE French Design \u2013 JEAN-LOUIS DENIOT Inspiration from France \u2013 India Mahdavi",

        "raw_content": "Pseudomonas, trach tubes, ICU issues\nPseudomonas aeruginosa is a gram-negative rod that can multiply in moist environments. It frequently enters the hospital on the clothes or skin of patients or hospital personnel, with plants or fruit brought into the hospital, and in the gastrointestinal tracts of patients. Colonization of any moist environment may ensue. Colonization of a patient's skin,\nthroat, nasal mucosa, and stool is low at admission to the hospital, but it increases to as high as 50% to 70% with prolonged hospitalization and the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, chemotherapy, or mechanical ventilation. P aeruginosa historically has been found to contaminate ventilators, tubing, and humidifiers, but this is uncommon today with appropriate disinfection procedures and routine changing of equipment. Patients whose upper respiratory tracts are colonized are at risk of pneumonia if they aspirate P aeruginosa-contaminated secretions, which allows the organism access to the lungs. P aeruginosa is found in the respiratory tracts of most patients who have cystic fibrosis; at death, more than 90% of patients are colonized with multiple strains of these bacteria. This bacterium is virtually specific for cystic fibrosis, and once acquired, generally is not eradicated from the respiratory tract.\nTracheostomy tubes frequently are colonized with P aeruginosa. When a child who is colonized is hospitalized for respiratory problems, it is important to distinguish Pseudomonas infection from colonization to prevent unnecessary use of potent antibiotics. Infection often is signaled by an increase in sputum production and a change in the character of the sputum from thin and white or clear to thicker and more purulent. If the child has symptoms suggestive of a serious Pseudomonas infection, therapy usually includes an antipseudomonal penicillin such as piperacillin or ticarcillin and/or an amino-glycoside antibiotic.\nOther pathogens are colonizers in the intensive care unit. Skin flora such as noncoagulase-positive staphylococci may colonize venous catheters and can gain access to the bloodstream by this route, giving rise to catheter-related infections. Foley catheters frequently become colonized with fecal flora, and scrupulous care is required to prevent introduction of these organisms into the bladder via the catheter. Surgical wounds may become infected with Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pyogenes, which are both colonizers of skin surfaces.\nBaltimore RS. Pseudomonas, Burkholderia, and Stenotrophomonas.

        "raw_content": "How I Met My Hero, Janusz Korczak\nI have been a pediatric physical therapist for over 30 years, working in an outpatient setting of a pediatric hospital in the inner city. I work with children with special needs, and with parents in poverty. My specialty is in the developmental needs of children.\nI first became aware of Dr. Korczak about 15 years ago, and immediately felt a personal bond with him as an educator and as a physician. I have read The King of Children, How to Love a Child, and am currently rereading The Ghetto Diary.\nWorking with children in a medical facility, I was especially moved by the story in which Korczak took his medical students into a classroom where a child stood behind an X-ray machine. Korczak told his students: \u201cWhen you have had a bad day in the clinic, when the children you are treating are getting on your nerves, remember what you are seeing today: the beating heart of a frightened child.\u201d I try to keep these words in mind as I go through my busy day; they help me keep my focus where it should be: on the child and family I am serving. A hospital can be a very frightening place for a child. I am fortunate that my job involves helping them experience the joy of play and movement. They can enjoy being children again!\nThe children I serve face many of the same dangers that Korczak\u2019s kids faced: poverty, disease, disability and violence. Sometimes I feel like I am struggling to do all I can to keep the children off those trains. Like Korczak, I have a strong community of support; unlike Korczak, I have many more resources available to help these children. Reading Korczak\u2019s diary helps me appreciate and use all that I have to help them. His diary also shows me that children can teach me very valuable lessons!\nI think kids today have the same need for care and respect as they had in Korczak\u2019s day. I also think that adults have the same needs as they did as children. When we can connect to each other honestly, as children do, we can be happier and build a more peaceful world, and we can help our children grow into peaceful, healthy adults.\nI am so glad to have found this community of people who have a passion for learning, sharing and promoting Korczak\u2019s legacy for future generations!\nTo reach Pam, you can email her at yisroela@hotmail.com.",

        "title": "Slavoj Zizek - On Alain Badiou and Logiques des mondes",
        "raw_content": "......\u2022 On Alain Badiou and Logiques des mondes \u2022\nBadiou is right: anti-capitalism cannot be directly the goal of political action - in politics, one opposes concrete political agents and their actions, not an anonymous \"system.\" However, if one may apply here the distinction between goal and aim, if not goal, it should be its ultimate aim, the horizon of all its activity.\nOne of the Gothic DVD games starts with the wisdom: \"Each Event is preceded by Prophecy. But without the Hero, there is no Event.\" One can easily translate this obscure wisdom in Marxist terms: \"The general outlines of each revolutionary event can be foretold by social theorists; however, this event can effectively take place only if there is a revolutionary subject.\" Or, as Badiou would have put it: \"Only if there is a subject, an Event can occur within an evental site.\"\nIs the minimal difference in politics not the one between Nazism and Stalinism? In a letter to Herbert Marcuse from 20 January 1948, Heidegger wrote: \"To the serious legitimate charges that you express 'about a regime that murdered millions of Jews...' I can merely add that if instead of 'Jews' you had written 'East Germans,' then the same holds true for one of the allies, with the difference that everything that has occurred since 1945 has become public knowledge, while the bloody terror of the Nazis in point of fact had been kept a secret from the German people.\" [1] Marcuse was fully justified in replying that the thin difference between brutally ex-patriating people and burning them in a concentration camp is the line that, at that moment, separated civilization from barbarism. One should not shirk from going even a step further: the thin difference between the Stalinist gulag and the Nazi annihilation camp also was, at that historical moment, the difference between civilization and barbarism.\nPerhaps, Badiou's matrix of four basic responses to an Event (the faithful subject; the reactive subject; the obscure subject; resurrection) should be complicated a little bit, so that there are six responses:\n1. The responses to the Freud-Event were: (1) fidelity (Lacan); (2) reactive normalization, re-integration into the predominant field (ego-psychology, \"dynamic psychotherapy\"); (3) outright denial (cognitivism); (4) obscurantist mystification in a pseudo-Event (Jung); (5) total enforcing (Reich, Freudo-Marxism); (6) resurrection of the \"eternal\" Freud's message in \"returns to Freud.\"\n2. The responses to a love-Event are: (1) fidelity; (2) normalization, re-integration (marriage); (3) outright rejection of the evental status (libertinage, the transformation of the Event into sexual adventure); (3) thorough rejection of sexual love (abstinence); (5) obscurantist suicidal mortal passion a la Tristan; (6) resurrected love (re-encounter).\n3. The responses to the Marxism-Event are: (1) fidelity (Communism, Leninism); (2) reactive re-integration (Social Democracy); (3) outright denial of the evental status (liberalism, Furet); (4) catastrophic total counter-attack in the guise of a pseudo-Event (Fascism); (5) total enforcing of the Event, which ends up in an \"obscure disaster\" (Stalinism, Khmer Rouge); (6) renewal of Marxism (Lenin, Mao...).\nSo how do (1) and (2) co-exist (in figures like Lenin or Lacan)? This brings us to a further hypothesis: an Event is necessarily missed the first time, that true fidelity is only possibly in the form of resurrection, as a defence against \"revisionism\": Freud didn't know the true dimension of his discovery, it was only Lacan's \"return to Freud\" that allowed us to discern the core of the Freudian discovery; or, as Stanley Cavell put it apropos the Hollywood comedies of re-marriage, the only true marriage is the second marriage (to the same person).\nBadiou develops the notion of \"atonal\" worlds (monde atone), [2] worlds lacking a \"point,\" in Lacanese: the \"quilting point\" (point de capiton), the intervention of a Master-Signifier that imposes a principle of \"ordering\" onto the world, the point of a simple decision (\"yes or no\") in which the confused multiplicity is violently reduced to a \"minimal difference.\" That is to say, what is a Master-Signifier? In the very last pages of his monumental Second World War, Winston Churchill ponders on the enigma of a political decision: after the specialists (economic and military analysts, psychologists, meteorologists...) propose their multiple, elaborated and refined analysis, somebody must assume the simple and for that very reason most difficult act of transposing this complex multitude, where for every reason for there are two reasons against, and vice versa, into a simple \"Yes\" or \"No\" - we shall attack, we continue to wait... None other John F. Kennedy provided a concise description of this point:\nThe essence of ultimate decision remains impenetrable to the observer - often, indeed, to the decider himself.\nThis gesture which can never be fully grounded in reasons, is that of a Master. There is thus no reason to be dismissive of the discourse of the Master, to identify it too hastily with \"authoritarian repression\": the Master's gesture is the founding gesture of every social link. Let us imagine a confused situation of social disintegration, in which the cohesive power of ideology loses its efficiency: in such a situation, the Master is the one who invents a new signifier, the famous \"quilting point,\" which again stabilizes the situation and makes it readable; the university discourse which then elaborates the network of Knowledge which sustains this readability by definition presupposes and relies on the initial gesture of the Master. The Master adds no new positive content - he merely adds a signifier which all of a sudden turns disorder into order, into \"new harmony,\" as Rimbaud would have put it. Think about anti-Semitism in Germany of the 1920s: people experienced themselves as disoriented, thrown into undeserved military defeat, economic crisis which melted away their life-savings, political inefficiency, moral degeneration... and the Nazis provided a single agent which accounted for it all - the Jew, the Jewish plot. Therein resides the magic of a Master: although there is nothing new at the level of positive content, \"nothing is quite the same\" after he pronounces his Word... The basic feature of our \"postmodern\" world is that it tries to dispense with this agency of the Master-Signifier: the \"complexity\" of the world should be asserted unconditionally, every Master-Signifier meant to impose some order on it should be \"deconstructed,\" dispersed, \"disseminated\": \"The modern apology of the \"complexity\" of the world /.../ is really nothing but a generalized desire of atony.\"(443) Badiou's excellent example of such an \"atonal\" world is the Politically Correct vision of sexuality, as promoted by gender studies, with its obsessive rejection of \"binary logic\": this world is a nuanced, ramified world of multiple sexual practices which tolerates no decision, no instance of the Two, no evaluation (in the strong Nietzschean sense). This suspension of the Master-Signifier leaves as the only agency of ideological interpellation the \"unnameable\" abyss of jouissance: the ultimate injunction that regulates our lives in \"postmodernity\" is \"Enjoy!\" - realize your potentials, enjoy in all its forms, from intense sexual pleasures through social success to spiritual self-fulfilment. What we have today is not so much the POLITICS of jouissance but, more precisely, the REGULATION (administration) of jouissance which is stricto sensu post-political. Jouissance is in itself limitless, the obscure excess of the unnameable, and the task is to regulate this excess. The clearest sign of the reign of biopolitics is the obsession with the topic of \"stress\": how to avoid stressful situations, how to \"cope\" with them. \"Stress\" is our name for the excessive dimension of life, for the \"too-muchness\" to be kept under control. (For this reason, today, more than ever, the gap that separates psychoanalysis from therapy imposes itself in all its brutality: if one wants therapeutic improvement, one will effectively get a much faster and efficient help from a combination of behavioral-cognitivist therapies and chemical treatment (pills).\nHowever, far from liberating us from the guilt-pressure, such dispensing with the Master-Signifier comes at a price, the price signalled by Lacan's qualification of the superego-command: \"Nothing forces anyone to enjoy except the superego. The superego is the imperative of jouissance - Enjoy!\" [3] In short, the decline of the Master-Signifier exposes the subject to all the traps and double-talk of the superego: the very injunction to enjoy, i.e., the (often imperceptible) shift from the permission to enjoy to the injunction (obligation) to enjoy sabotages enjoyment, so that, paradoxically, the more one obeys the superego command, the more one is guilty. This same ambiguity affects the very base of a \"permissive\" and \"tolerant\" society: \"we see from day to day how this tolerance is nothing else than a fanaticism, since it tolerates only its own vacuity.\"(LdM-533) And, effectively, every decision, every determinate engagement, is potentially \"intolerant\" towards all others... There are only a couple of qualifications to be added to this Badiou's thesis. First, insofar as world as such is sustained by a \"point,\" is a point-less, atonal, world not a name for worldlessness? Badiou himself recently claimed that our time is devoid of world, referring to Marx's well-known passage from The Communist Manifesto about the \"de-territorializing\" force of capitalism which dissolves all fixed social forms\nThe passage where Marx speaks of the desacralisation of all sacred bonds in the icy waters of capitalism has an enthusiastic tone; it is Marx's enthusiasm for the dissolving power of Capital. The fact that Capital revealed itself to be the material power capable of disencumbering us of the \"superego\" figures of the One and the sacred bonds that accompany it effectively represents its positively progressive character, and it is something that continues to unfold to the present day. Having said that, the generalized atomism, the recurrent individualism and, finally, the abasement of thought into mere practices of administration, of the government of things or of technical manipulation, could never satisfy me as a philosopher. I simply think that it is in the very element of desacralisation that we must reconnect to the vocation of thinking. [4]\nBadiou thus recognizes the exceptional ontological status of capitalism whose dynamics undermines every stable frame of re-presentation: what is usually the task to be performed by the critico-political activity (namely, the task of undermining the re-presentational frame of the State), is already performed by capitalism itself - and, this poses a problem for Badiou's notion of \"evental\" politics. In pre-capitalist formations, every State, every re-presentational totalization, implies a founding exclusion, a point of \"symptomal torsion,\" a \"part of no-part,\" an element which, although part of the system, did not have a proper place within it - and the emancipatory politics had to intervene from this excessive (\"surnumerary\") element which, although part of the situation, cannot be accounted for in its terms. However, what happens when the system no longer excludes the excess, but directly posits it as its driving force - as is the case in capitalism which can only reproduce itself through its constant self-revolutionizing, through the constant overcoming of its own limit? To put it in a simplified way: if a political event, a revolutionary emancipatory intervention into a determinate historical world, is always linked to the excessive point of its \"symptomal torsion,\" if it by definition undermines the contours of this world, how, then, are we to define the emancipatory political intervention into a universe which is already in itself world-less, which, for its reproduction, no longer needs to be contained by the constraints of a \"world\"? How are we to revolutionize an order whose very principle is constant self-revolutionizing? Within the Deleuzian field, it was Brian Massumi who formulated clearly this deadlock, which is based on the fact that today's capitalism already overcame the logic of totalizing normality and adopted the logic of the erratic excess:\nthe more varied, and even erratic, the better. Normalcy starts to lose its hold. The regularities start to loosen. This loosening of normalcy is part of capitalism's dynamic. It's not a simple liberation. It's capitalism's own form of power. It's no longer disciplinary institutional power that defines everything, it's capitalism's power to produce variety - because markets get saturated. Produce variety and you produce a niche market. The oddest of affective tendencies are okay - as long as they pay. Capitalism starts intensifying or diversifying affect, but only in order to extract surplus-value. It hijacks affect in order to intensify profit potential. It literally valorises affect. The capitalist logic of surplus-value production starts to take over the relational field that is also the domain of political ecology, the ethical field of resistance to identity and predictable paths. It's very troubling and confusing, because it seems to me that there's been a certain kind of convergence between the dynamic of capitalist power and the dynamic of resistance. [5]\nThere IS thus, beyond all cheap jibes and superficial analogies, a profound structural homology between the Maoist permanent self-revolutionizing, the permanent struggle against the ossification of State structures, and the inherent dynamics of capitalism. One is tempted to paraphrase here Brecht, his \"What is the robbing of a bank compared to the founding of a new bank?\", yet again: what are the violent and destructive outbursts of a Red Guardist caught in the Cultural Revolution compared to the true Cultural Revolution, the permanent dissolution of all life-forms necessitated by the capitalist reproduction? This capitalist reappropriation of the revolutionary dynamics is not without its comic side-effects. It was recently made public that, in order to conceptualize the IDF urban warfare against the Palestinians, the IDF military academies systematically refer to Deleuze and Guattari, especially to Thousand Plateaux, using it as \"operational theory\" - the catchwords used are \"Formless Rival Entities\", \"Fractal Manoeuvre\", \"Velocity vs. Rhythms\", \"The Wahabi War Machine\", \"Postmodern Anarchists\", \"Nomadic Terrorists\". One of the key distinctions they rely on is the one between \"smooth\" and \"striated\" space, which reflect the organizational concepts of the \"war machine\" and the \"state apparatus\". The IDF now often uses the term \"to smooth out space\" when they want to refer to operation in a space as if it had no borders. Palestinian areas are thought of as \"striated\" in the sense that they are enclosed by fences, walls, ditches, road blocks and so on:\nThe attack conducted by units of the IDF on the city of Nablus in April 2002 was described by its commander, Brigadier-General Aviv Kokhavi, as \"inverse geometry\", which he explained as \"the reorganization of the urban syntax by means of a series of micro-tactical actions\". During the battle soldiers moved within the city across hundreds of metres of overground tunnels carved out through a dense and contiguous urban structure. Although several thousand soldiers and Palestinian guerrillas were manoeuvring simultaneously in the city, they were so \"saturated\" into the urban fabric that very few would have been visible from the air. Furthermore, they used none of the city's streets, roads, alleys or courtyards, or any of the external doors, internal stairwells and windows, but moved horizontally through walls and vertically through holes blasted in ceilings and floors. This form of movement, described by the military as \"infestation\", seeks to redefine inside as outside, and domestic interiors as thoroughfares. The IDF's strategy of \"walking through walls\" involves a conception of the city as not just the site but also the very medium of warfare \"a flexible, almost liquid medium that is forever contingent and in flux\". [6]\nSo what does it follow from all this? Not, of course, the nonsensical accusation of Deleuze and Guattari as theorists of militaristic colonization - but the conclusion that the conceptual machine articulated by Deleuze and Guattari, far from being simply \"subversive,\" also fits the (military, economic, and ideologico-political) operational mode of today's capitalism. And, back to Badiou, as Alberto Toscano noted in his perspicuous analysis, he also gets caught here in an inconsistency: he draws the \"logical\" conclusion that, in a \"worldless\" universe (which is today's universe of global capitalism), the aim of emancipatory politics should be the precise opposite of its \"traditional\" modus operandi - the task today is to form a new world, to propose new Master-Signifiers that would provide \"cognitive mapping\":\n/.../ whilst in Badiou's theoretical writings on the appearance of worlds he cogently argues that events engender the dysfunction of worlds and their transcendental regimes, in his 'ontology of the present' Badiou advocates the necessity, in our 'intervallic' or world-less times, of constructing a world, such that those now excluded can come to invent new names, names capable of sustaining new truth procedures. As he writes, 'I hold that we are at a very special moment, a moment at which there is not any world' /.../ As a result: 'Philosophy has no other legitimate aim except to help find the new names that will bring into existence the unknown world that is only waiting for us because we are waiting for it.' In a peculiar inversion of some of the key traits of his doctrine, it seems that Badiou is here advocating, to some extent, an 'ordering' task, one that will inevitably, if perhaps mistakenly, resonate for some with the now ubiquitous slogan 'Another World is Possible'. [7]\nIn order to throw some light on this impasse, one should bear in mind that Badiou's triad Being-World-Event functions in the same way as Kierkegaard's triad of the Aesthetic-Ethical-Religious: the choice is always between two terms, and either/or, i.e., the three terms do not operate at the same ontological level. It is like with Lacans Imaginary/Symbolic/Real or with Freud's ego/superego/id: when we focus on one term, the other two get condensed into one (under the hegemony of one of them). If we focus on the Imaginary, the Real and the Symbolic get contracted into Imaginary's opposite under the domination of the Symbolic; if we focus on R, I and S get contracted under the domination of S. (Therein resides the shift in Lacan's work announced by his Seminar VII on the ethics of psychoanalysis: the shift from the axis I-S to the axis S-R.) Or, in Freud's case, if we focus on the Ego, its opposite is the Id (which encompasses the Superego); etc. (The irony is thus that the title of Badiou's first great book to which Logiques des mondes is Part II, Being and Event, should be read in the same way as Freud's The Ego and the Id: as an implicit reference to the missing third term, World, or, in Freud's case, superego.)\nIn Badiou's Logiques des mondes, the shift is from the axis Being-Event to the axis World-Event. What this means is that, in Logiques des mondes, Being, World and Event do not form a triad: we have either the opposition of Being and World (appearance), or the opposition of World and Event. There is an unexpected conclusion to be drawn from this: insofar as (Badiou emphasizes this point again and again) a true Event is not merely a negative gesture, but opens up a positive dimension of the New, an Event IS the imposition of a new world, of a new Master-Signifier (a new Naming, as Badiou puts it, or, what Lacan calls vers un nouveau significant). The true evental change is the passage from the old to the new world. One should even make a step further and introduce the dimension of dialectics here: an Event CAN be accounted for by the tension between the multiplicity of Being and the World, its site is the symptomal torsion of a World, it is generated by the excess of Being over World (of presence over re-presentation). The properly Hegelian enigma is here not \"how is an Event, the rise of something truly New, possible?\", but, rather, how do we pass from Being to World, to (finite) appearance, i.e., how can Being, its flat infinite multiplicity, APPEAR (to itself)? Is it not that this presupposes a kind of \"negativity\" that has to be somehow operative in the midst of Being itself, some force of (not infinity, but, on the contrary) finitization, what Hegel called the \"absolute power\" of tearing apart what in reality belongs together, of giving autonomy to appearance. Prior to any \"synthesis,\" Spirit is what Kant called \"transcendental imagination,\" the power to abstract, to simplify/mortify, to reduce a thing to its \"unary feature,\" to erase its empirical wealth. Spirit is the power to say, when it is confronted with the confusing wealth of empirical features: \"All this doesn't really matter! Just tell me if the feature X is there or not!\" Maybe, a FOURTH term is thus needed, which sustains the triad of Being/World/Event, a negativity (\"death drive\") reducible to none of the three.\nWhen Badiou talks about \"eternal truths,\" trans-historical truths whose universality cuts across specific historical worlds, horizons of sense, this universality is not a mythic universality of a Jungian archetype (even if his description of the Idea of the horse from pre-historic cave paintings to Picasso sometimes comes dangerously close to it), but the sense-less universality of the Real, of what Lacan calls \"matheme.\"\nWhat, then, was the historical result (lesson) of the Cultural Revolution? It is difficult to miss the irony of the fact that Badiou, who adamantly opposes the notion of act as negative, locates the historical significance of the Maoist Cultural Revolution precisely in signaling \"the end of the party-State as the central production of revolutionary political activity. More generally, the Cultural Revolution showed that it was no longer possible to assign either the revolutionary mass actions or the organizational phenomena to the strict logic of class representation. That is why it remains a political episode of the highest importance.\" These lines are from Badiou's \"The Cultural Revolution: The Last Revolution?\" [8], which, at its conclusion, emphatically reiterates the same point:\nIn the end, the Cultural Revolution, even in its very impasse, bears witness to the impossibility truly and globally to free politics from the framework of the party-State that imprisons it. It marks an irreplaceable experience of saturation, because a violent will to find a new political path, to re-launch the revolution, and to find new forms of the workers' struggle under the formal conditions of socialism, ended up in failure when confronted with the necessary maintenance, for reasons of public order and the refusal of civil war, of the general frame of the party-State.\nThe key importance of the last truly great revolutionary explosion of the XXth century is thus NEGATIVE, it resides in its very failure which signals the exhaustion of the party/Statist logic of the revolutionary process. However, what if one should make here a step further and conceive both poles, presentation (\"direct\" extra-Statist self-organization of the revolutionary masses) and re-presentation as the two interdependent poles, so that, in a truly Hegelian paradox, the end of the party-State form of revolutionary activity guided by the telos of \"taking over the state power,\" is simultaneously also the end of all forms of \"direct\" (non-representational) self-organization (councils and other forms of \"direct democracy\")? - When, in his more recent Logiques des mondes, Badiou makes the same point about the Cultural Revolution, his accent changes almost imperceptibly: the Cultural Revolution\ntested, for all revolutionaries of the world, the limits of Leninism. It taught us that the politics of emancipation can no longer go on under the paradigm of revolution, or as captivated by the party-form. Symmetrically, it cannot be inscribed into the parliamentary and electoral dispositif. Therein resides the dark genius of the Cultural Revolution: it all began when, between 1966 and 1968, saturating in the real the previous hypotheses, the Red Guardist high-school pupils and students, and then the workers of Shanghai, prescribed for the decades to come the affirmative realization of this beginning, of which they themselves, since their fury remained caught into what they were raising against, explored only the face of pure negation. [9]\nThere is a tension between these two interpretations. According to \"The Cultural Revolution: The Last Revolution?\", the failure of the Cultural Revolution \"bears witness to the impossibility truly and globally to free politics from the framework of the party-State that imprisons it,\" with the cause of this failure is specified at a rather common sense level (\"the necessary maintenance, for reasons of public order and the refusal of civil war, of the general frame of the party-State\" - in short, the exigencies of the \"servicing the goods\": whatever the revolutionary perturbations, life must go on, people have to work, to consume, etc., and the only agency to do this was the party-State...). Contrary to this claim about the impossibility to free politics from the framework of the party-State, the passage from Logiques des mondes perceives as the lesson of the Cultural Revolution the impossibility to pursue radical political activity within the framework of the party-State, i.e., \"the end of the party-State as the central production of revolutionary political activity.\" So neither can we practice revolutionary politics OUTSIDE the party-State frame, nor can we do it WITHIN this frame? No wonder that, when, in Logiques des mondes, Badiou confronts the key question (is the \"eternal Idea\" of the egalitarian-revolutionary politics with its four components - equality, terror, voluntarism, trust in the people - rooted in the statist-party model, relying on a revolutionary State, which exhausted its potential by the Cultural Revolution, so that we have to abandon it, or is it truly \"eternal\" and, as such, waiting to be re-invented in our post-revolutionary epoch?), he offers an answer which does not appear too convincing:\nWhat effectively constitutes the trans-worldly subjectivity of the State revolutionary is that it tries to impose the separation between State and revolutionary politics, with the particular twist that it tries to do it within State power. Consequently, the figure we are dealing with only exists under the presupposition of this separation. This is why, incidentally, one can construct it philosophically only today, after a thought of the politics made thinkable and practicable the way one can, in order to think the action, locate oneself within a politics for which the State power is neither its goal nor its norm. [10]\nThe true question here is: how is this externality with regard to the State to be operationalized? Since the Cultural Revolution signals the failure of the attempt to destroy the State from within, to abolish the State, is then the alternative to simply accept the State as a fact, as the apparatus that takes care of \"servicing the goods,\" and to operate at a distance towards it (bombarding it with prescriptive proclamations and demands)? But does such a position not come closely to, say, Simon Critchley, who recently argued that the emancipatory politics is\nenacted or even simply acted - practically, locally, situationally - at a distance from the state. /.../ It calls the state into question, it calls the established order to account, not in order to do away with the state, desirable though that might well be in some utopian sense, but in order to better it or attenuate its malicious effects.\nThe main ambiguity of this position resides in a strange non sequitur: if the state is here to stay, if it is impossible to abolish the state (and capitalism), why act with a DISTANCE towards state? Why not with(in) the state? Why not accept the basic premise of the New Left's Third Way? Perhaps, it is time to take seriously Stalin's obsessive critique of \"bureaucracy,\" and to appreciate in a new (Hegelian) way the necessary work done by the State bureaucracy. In other words, is Critchley's (and Badiou's) position not that of relying on the fact that someone else will assume the task of running the state machinery, enabling us to engage in the critical distance towards the state? Furthermore, if the space of emancipatory politics is defined by a distance towards the state, are we not abandoning the field (of the state) all too easily to the enemy? Is it not crucial WHAT form the state power has? Does this position not lead to the reduction of this crucial question to a secondary place: ultimately, it doesn't really matter what kind of state we have? So when Badiou claims that the Red Guardists \"prescribed for the decades to come the affirmative realization of this beginning, of which they themselves, since their fury remained caught into what they were raising against, explored only the face of pure negation,\" will this \"affirmative realization\" be the one of inventing a new way of dispensing with the State, of \"abolishing\" it, or a mere distance towards the State, or - much more radically - a new APPROPRIATION of State apparatuses?\nIn his Logiques des mondes, Badiou provides a succinct definition of \"democratic materialism\" and its opposite, \"materialist dialectics\": the axiom which condenses the first one is \"There is nothing but bodies and languages ...,\" to which materialist dialectics adds \"... with the exception of truths.\" This opposition is not so much the opposition of two ideologies or philosophies as the opposition between non-reflected presuppositions/beliefs into which we are \"thrown\" insofar as we are immersed into our life-world, and the reflective attitude of thought proper which enables us to subtract ourselves from this immersion, to \"unplug\" ourselves, as Morpheus would have put it in The Matrix, a film much appreciated by Badiou, the film in which one also finds a precise account of the need, evoked by Badiou, to control oneself (when Morpheus explains to Neo the lot of ordinary people totally caught (\"plugged\") in the Matrix, he says: \"Everyone who is not unplugged is a potential agent.\"). This is why Badiou's axiom of \"democratic materialism\" is his answer to the question of our spontaneous (non-reflexive) ideological beliefs: \"What do I think when I am outside my own control? Or, rather, which is our (my) spontaneous belief?\" Furthermore, this opposition is immediately linked to what (once) one called \"class struggle in philosophy,\" the orientation most identified by the names of Lenin, Mao Zedong and Althusser - here is Mao's succinct formulation: \"It is only when there is class struggle that there can be philosophy.\" The ruling class (whose ideas are the ruling ideas) is represented by the spontaneous ideology, while the dominated class has to fight its way through intense conceptual work, which is why, for Badiou, the key reference is here Plato - not the caricaturized Plato, the anti-democratic philosopher of the aristocratic reaction to Athenian democracy, but the Plato who was the first to clearly assert the field of rationality freed from inherited beliefs. After all the bad words about the \"phono-logocentric\" character of Plato's criticism of writing, it is perhaps time to assert its positive, egalitarian-democratic, aspect: in pre-democratic despotic state, writing was the monopoly of the ruling elite, its character was sacred, \"so it is written\" was the ultimate seal of authority, the presupposed mysterious meaning of the written text was the object of belief par excellence. The aim of Plato's critique of writing is thus double: to deprive writing of its sacred character, and to assert the field of rationality freed from beliefs, i.e., to distinguish logos (the domain of dialectics, of rational reasoning which admits no external authority) from mythos (traditional beliefs):\nThe significance of Plato's criticism thus appears: to remove from writing its sacred character. The way to truth is not writing but dialectics, i.e. the spoken word with its implication of two or rather three parties: the speaker, the listener and the language they share. With his criticism, Plato, for the first time in man's history, distilled the notion of rationality as such, free from all mixture with belief. [11]\n(The qualification I am tempted to add here is that, perhaps, one should nonetheless suspend Badiou's understandable reticence apropos \"dialectical materialism\" and turn around the subject-predicate relationship between the two opposites: \"materialist democracy\" versus \"dialectical materialism.\") There is a more constrained anthropological version of this axiom: for democratic materialism, \"there is nothing but individuals and communities,\" to which materialist dialectics adds: \"Insofar as there is a truth, a subject subtracts itself to all community and destroys all individuation.\" [12]The passage from the Two to Three is crucial here, and one should bear in mind all its Platonic, properly meta-physical, thrust in the direction of what, prima facie, cannot but appear as a proto-idealist gesture of asserting that material reality is not all that there is, that there is also another level of incorporeal truths. Along these lines, one is tempted to supplement Badiou in two ways. First, are bodies and languages not synonymous with being, its multiplicity, and worlds? The Three we are dealing with is thus the Three of being, worlds and truths: for democratic materialism, there are only the multiplicity of being (the endlessly differentiated reality) and different worlds - linguistic universes - within which individuals and communities experience this reality. (One should then, against Badiou, insist on the strict equality between world and language: every world sustained by language, and every \"spoken\" language sustains a world - this is what Heidegger aimed at in his thesis on language as a \"house of being.\") Is this effectively not our spontaneous ideology? There is an endlessly differentiated, complex, reality, which we, individuals and communities embedded in it, always experience from a particular, finite, perspective of our historical world. What democratic materialism furiously rejects is the notion that there can be an infinite universal Truth which cuts across this multitude of worlds - in politics, this means \"totalitarianism\" which imposes its truth as universal. This is why one should reject, say, Jacobins, who imposed onto the plurality of the French society their universal notions of equality and other truths, and thus necessarily ended in terror... This brings us to the second supplement: there is an even more narrow political version of the democratic-materialist axiom: \"All that takes place in today's society is the dynamics of post-modern globalization, and the (conservative-nostalgic, fundamentalist, Old Leftist, nationalist, religious...) reactions and resistances to it\" - to which, of course, materialist dialectics adds its proviso: \"...with the exception of the radical-emancipatory (Communist) politics of truth.\"\nIt is here that the materialist-dialectic passage from the Two to Three gains all its weight: the axiom of Communist politics is not simply the dualist \"class struggle,\" but, more precisely, the Third moment as the subtraction from the Two of the hegemonic politics. That is to say, the hegemonic ideological field imposes on us a field of (ideological) visibility with its own \"principal contradiction\" (today, it is the opposition of market-freedom-democracy and fundamentalist-terrorist-totalitarianism - \"Islamofascism\" etc.), and the first thing to do is to reject (to subtract from) this opposition, to perceive it as a false opposition destined to obfuscate the true line of division. Lacan's formula for this redoubling is 1+1+a: the \"official\" antagonism (the Two) is always supplemented by an \"indivisible remainder\" which indicates its foreclosed dimension. In other terms, the TRUE antagonism is always reflective, it is the antagonism between the \"official\" antagonism and that what is foreclosed by it (this is why, in Lacan's mathematics, 1+1=3). Today, for example, the true antagonism is not the one between liberal multiculturalism and fundamentalism, but between the very field of their opposition and the exclude Third (radical emancipatory politics). - One is even tempted to link this Threesome to three different mechanisms of keeping a social body together:\n- the traditional matrix of authority in which a community is established through sacrifice or is grounded in some primordial crime, so that it is the guilt which keeps the members together and subordinates them to a leader;\n- the \"invisible hand\" of the market, i.e., a social field in which, by means of a Cunning of Reason, the very competition among individuals, each following his or her egotistic concerns, results in a mysterious balance which works for the best of all;\n- the open political process of social cooperation in which decisions are neither made by the supreme authority, nor are they the outcome of a blind mechanism, but are reached through conscious interaction of individuals.\nAnd, furthermore, do these three modes not form a kind of Levi-Straussian triangle? Both market liberalism and the properly democratic space of civil public action and planned social cooperation. (One can argue, of course, that the triangle should be extended to a Greimasian semiotic square, since the third mode is itself split between democratic self-organization proper and the State Power imposed from above onto society - \"self-management versus bureaucracy.\")\nThis allows us also to approach in a new way Badiou's concept of \"point\" as the point of decision, as the moment at which the complexity of a situation is \"filtered\" through a binary disposition and thus reduced to a simple choice: all things considered, are we AGAINST or FOR (should we attack or retreat? support that proclamation or oppose it?) With regard to the Third moment as the subtraction from the Two of the hegemonic politics, one should always bar in mind that one of the basic operations of the hegemonic ideology is to enforce a false point, to impose on us a false choice - like, in today's \"war on terror,\" when anyone who draws attention to the complexity and ambiguity of the situation, is sooner or later interrupted by a brutal voice telling him: \"OK, enough of this muddle - we are in the middle of a difficult struggle in which the fate of our free world is at stake, so please, make it clear, where do you really stand: do you support freedom and democracy or not?\" (One can also imagine a humanitarian version of such a pseudo-ethical blackmail: \"OK, enough of this muddle about the neocolonialism, the responsibility of the West, and so on - do you want to do something to really help the millions suffering in Africa, or do you just want to use them to score points in your ideologico-political struggle?\") The obverse of this imposition of a false choice is, of course, the blurring of the true line of division - here, Nazism is still unsurpassed with his designation of the Jewish enemy as the agent of the \"plutocratic-bolshevik plot.\" In this designation, the mechanism is almost laid bare: the true opposition (\"plutocrats\" versus \"Bolsheviks,\" i.e., capitalists versus proletariat) is literally obliterated, blurred into One, and therein resides the function of the name \"Jew\" - to serve as the operator of this obliteration. The first task of the emancipatory politics is therefore to distinguish between \"false\" and \"true\" points, \"false\" and \"true\" choices, i.e., to bring back the third element whose obliteration sustains the false choice - like, today, the false choice \"liberal democracy or Islamofascism\" is sustained by the obliteration of the radical secular emancipatory politics. So one should be clear here in rejecting the dangerous motto \"the enemy of my enemy is my friend,\" which leads us to discover \"progressive\" anti-imperialist potential in fundamentalist Islamist movements. The ideological universe of movements like Hezbollah is based on the blurring of distinctions between capitalist neoimperialism and secular progressive emancipation: within the Hezbollah ideological space, women's emancipation, gay rights, etc., are NOTHING BUT the \"decadent\" moral aspect of Western imperialism...\nThis, then, is where we stand today: the antagonism imposed on us by the space of dominant ideology is the secondary antagonism between (what Badiou calls) \"reactive\" and \"obscure\" subjects, leading their struggle against the background of the obliterated Event.\nIn his reading of Badiou, Adrian Johnston[13] discerned the ideologico-critical potential of the Badiouian topic of evental breaks: when the balance of an ideological situation is disturbed by arising \"symptomal knots,\" elements which, while formally part of the situation, do not fit into it, the ideological defense can adopt two main strategies, the false \"eventalization\" of the dynamics which is thoroughly part of the existing situation, and the disavowal of the signs which delineate true evental possibilities, their reading as minor accidents or external disturbances:\none, making mere modifications appear to promise evental newness (a tactic that comes to the fore in the ideology of late-capitalism, whose noisily marketed \"perpetual revolution\" is really just an instance of the clich\u00e9 \"the more things change, the more they stay the same\"-or, as Badiou puts it, \"capitalism itself is the obsession of novelty and the perpetual renovation of forms\"); two, making the sites sheltering potentially explosive evental upheavals appear to be, at a minimum, unremarkable features of the banal, everyday landscape, and, at most, nothing more than temporary, correctable glitches in the functioning of the established system.\nPerhaps, this line of thought needs just one qualification: Johnston writes that \"the ideology of the worldly state, through a sort of bluff or masquerade, disguises its non-integrated weakest points, its Achilles' heels, as fully integrated cogs and components of its allegedly harmonious functioning-rather than as loci containing the potential to throw monkey wrenches in its gears and thereby generate evental dysfunctions of this regime, a regime that is never so deeply entrenched as it would like to appear to be in the eyes of its subjects.\" Would it not rather be that one of the ideological strategies is to fully admit the threatening character of a disfunction, and to treat it as an external intrusion, not as the necessary result of the system's inner dynamics? The model is here, of course, the Fascist notion of social antagonisms as the result of a foreign intruder - Jews - disturbing the organic totality of the social edifice.\nRecall the difference between the standard capitalist and the Marxist notion of economic crisis: for the standard capitalist view, crises are \"temporary, correctable glitches\" in the functioning of the system, while from the Marxist point, they are its moment of truth, the \"exception\" which only allows us to grasp the functioning of the system (in the same way that, for Freud, dreams and symptoms are not secondary malfunctionings of our psychic apparatus, but moments through while one can discern the repressed basic functioning of the psychic apparatus). No wonder Johnston uses here the Deleuzian term \"minimal difference\" - \"a minimal/miniscule difference (here construed as the difference between the change-category statuses simultaneously assigned to a single intra-situational multiple both by the ideology of the state and, in opposition, by another, non-statist framework)\": when we pass from the notion of crisis as occasional contingent malfunctioning of the system to the notion of crisis as the symptomal point at which the \"truth\" of the system becomes visible, we are talking about one and the same actual event - the difference is purely virtual, it does not concern any of its actual properties, but only the way this event is supplemented by the virtual tapestry of its ideological and notional background (like Schumann's melody for piano first played with and then without the third line of notes written only for the eyes). Johnston is right here in critically taking note of\nBadiou's quick dismissal of apparently gradualist measures of seemingly minor political adjustments and reforms (i.e., not-quite-evental gestures) in the spheres of legislation and socio-economics while awaiting the quasi-divine intervention of the system-shattering evental rupture ushering in an uncompromisingly \"perfect\" revolution. But, the preceding analyses call into question whether he can be entirely confident and sure that what appears to be gradual or minor really is so, or, rather, simply seems this way solely under the shadow of statist ideology's assignation of change-category statuses.\nOne cannot ever be sure in advance if what appears (within the register and the space of visibility of the ruling ideology) as \"minor\" measures will not set in motion a process that will lead to the radical (evental) transformation of the whole field. There are situations in which a minimal measure of social reform can have much stronger large-scale consequences than self-professed \"radical\" changes, and this \"inherent incalculability to the factors involved in setting the pace of the cadence of socio-political change\" points towards the dimension of what Badiou tried to capture under the title of the \"materialist notion of grace.\" So when Johnston raises the question of\nwhat if the pre-evental actors \"don't really know exactly what they're doing or quite where they're going? What if, under the influence of statist ideology, they anticipate that a particular gesture will effectuate a system-preserving modification only to find out, after-the-fact of this gesture, that their intervention unexpectedly hastened (rather than delayed) the demise of this very system?\n- is not the first association that comes to mind here that of Mikhail Gorbachov's perestroika which, while aiming at minor improvements that would make the system more efficient, triggered the process of its total disintegration? These, then, are the two extremes between which political interventions has to find their way: the Scylla of \"minor\" reforms which eventually lead to total collapse (recall also the - justified, we can say today - Mao Ze Dong's fear that even a minimal compromise with market economy will open up the path that ends in total surrender to capitalism), and the Karybda of \"radical\" changes which in the long run merely fortify the system (Roosevelt's New Deal, etc.). Among other things, this also opens up the question of how \"radical\" different forms of resistance are: what may appears as \"radical critical stance\" or as subversive activity can effectively function as the system's \"inherent transgression,\" so that, often, a minor legal reform which merely aims at bringing the system in accordance with its professed ideological goals can be more subversive than the open questioning of the system's basic presuppositions. These considerations enable us to define the art of a \"politics of minimal difference\": to be able to identify and then do focus on a minimal (ideological, legislative, etc.) measure which, prima facie, not only does not question the system's premises, but even seem to merely apply to its actual functioning its own principles and thus render it more self-consistent; however, a critico-ideological \"parallax view\" leads us to surmise that this minimal measure, while in no way disturbing the system's explicit mode of functioning, effectively \"move its underground,\" introduces a crack in its foundations. Today, more than ever, we effectively need what Johnston calls a \"pre-evental discipline of time\":\nThis other sort of temporal discipline would be neither the undisciplined impatience of hurriedly doing anything and everything to enact some ill-defined, poorly conceived notion of making things different nor the quietist patience of either resigning oneself to the current state of affairs drifting along interminably and/or awaiting the unpredictable arrival of a not-to-be-actively-precipitated \"x\" sparking genuine change (Badiou's philosophy sometimes seems to be in danger of licensing a version of this latter mode of quietism). Those subjected to today's frenetic socio-economic forms of late-capitalism are constantly at risk of succumbing to various forms of what one could refer to loosely as \"attention deficit disorder,\" that is, a frantic, thoughtless jumping from present to ever-new present. At the political level, such capitalist impatience must be countered with the discipline of what could be designated as a specifically communist patience (designated thus in line with Badiou's assertion that all authentic forms of politics are \"communist\" in the broad sense of being both emancipatory as well as \"generic\" qua radically egalitarian and non-identitarian) - not the quietist patience condemned above, but, instead, the calm contemplation of the details of situations, states, and worlds with an eye to the discerning of ideologically veiled weak points in the structural architecture of the statist system. Given the theoretical validity of assuming that these camouflaged Achilles' heels (as hidden evental sites) can and do exist in one's worldly context, one should be patiently hopeful that one's apparently minor gestures, carried out under the guidance of a pre-evental surveillance of the situation in search of its concealed kernels of real transformation, might come to entail major repercussions for the state-of-the-situation and/or transcendental regime of the world.\nThere is, however, a limit to this strategy: if followed thoroughly, it ends up in a kind of \"active quietism\": while forever postponing the Big Act, all one does is to engage in small interventions with the secret hope that somehow, inexplicably, by means of a magic \"jump from quantity to quality,\" they will lead to global radical change. This strategy has to be supplemented by the readiness and ability to discern the moment when the possibility of the Big Change is approaching, and, at that point, to quickly change the strategy, take the risk and engage in total struggle. In other words, one should not forget that, in politics, \"major repercussions\" do not come by themselves: true, one has to lay the ground for them by means of the patient work, but one should also know to seize the moment when it arrives. Even more, the lesson of Rosa Luxemburg's critique of reformism is pertinent here: it is not enough to patiently wait for the \"right moment\" of the revolution; if one merely waits for it, it will never come, i.e., one has to start with \"premature\" attempts which - therein resides the \"pedagogy of the revolution\" - in their very failure to achieve their professed goal create the (subjective) conditions for the \"right\" moment. The \"specifically communist patience\" is not just the patient waiting for the moment when radical change will explode like what the system theory calls \"emergent property\"; it is also the patience of losing the battles in order to gain the final fight (recall Mao's slogan: \"from defeat to defeat, to the final victory\"). Or, to put it in more Badiouian time: the fact that the evental irruption functions as a break in time, as introducing a totally different order of temporality (the temporality of the \"work of love,\" the fidelity to the event), means that, from the perspective of non-evental time of historical evolution, there is NEVER a \"proper moment\" for the revolutionary event, the situation is never \"mature\" for the revolutionary act - the act is always, by definition, \"premature.\" Recall what truly deserves the title of the repetition of the French Revolution: the Haiti revolution led by Toussaint l'Ouverture - it was clearly \"ahead of his time,\" \"premature,\" and as such doomed to fail, yet, precisely as such, it was perhaps even more of an Event than the French Revolution itself. These past defeats accumulate the utopian energy which will explode in the final battle: \"maturation\" is not waiting for \"objective\" circumstances to reach maturity, but the accumulation of defeats.\nProgressive liberals today often complain that they would like to join a \"revolution\" (a more radical emancipatory political movement), but no matter how desperately they search for it, they just \"don't see it\" (they don't see anywhere in the social space a political agent with a will and strength to seriously engage in such activity). While there is a moment of truth in it, one should nonetheless also add that the very attitude of these liberals is in itself part of a problem: if one just waits to \"see\" a revolutionary movement, it will, of course, never arise, and one will never see it. What Hegel says about the curtain that separates appearances from true reality (behind the veil of appearance there is nothing, only what the subject who looks there put it there), holds also for a revolutionary process: \"seeing\" and \"desire\" are here inextricably linked, i.e., the revolutionary potential is not there to discover as an objective social fact, one \"sees it\" only insofar as one \"desires\" it (engages oneself in the movement). No wonder Mensheviks and those who opposed Lenin's call for a revolutionary takeover in the summer of 1917 \"didn't see\" the conditions for it as \"ripe\" and opposed it as \"premature\" - they simply did not WANT the revolution. (Another version of this skeptical argument about \"seeing\" is that liberals claim how capitalism is today so global and all-encompassing that they cannot \"see\" any serious alternative to it, that they cannot imagine a feasible \"outside\" to it. The reply to this is that, insofar as this is true, they do not see at all, tout court: the task is not to see the outside, but to see in the first place (to grasp the nature of today's capitalism) - the Marxist wager is that, when we \"see\" this, we see enough, inclusive of how to get out...) So our reply to the worried progressive liberals, eager to join the revolution, and just not seeing its chances anywhere around, should be like the answer to the proverbial ecologist worried about the prospect of catastrophy: don't worry, the catastrophy will arrive...\nTo complicate the image further, we often have an event which succeeds through the self-erasure of its evental dimension, as it was the case with the Jacobins in the French Revolution: once their (necessary) job was done, they were not only overthrown and liquidated, they were even retroactively deprived of their evental status, reduced to a historical accident, to a freakish abomination, to an (avoidable) excess of the historical development. (It was none other than Hegel who, in his very \"critique\" of the Jacobine \"abstract freedom\", perceived the necessity of this moment, dispelling the liberal dream of by-passing 1794, i.e., of passing directly from 1789 to the established bourgeois daily life. The dream denounced by Robespierre as the dream of those who want \"revolution without revolution\" is the dream of having 1789 without 1793, of eating the cake and keeping it...) This theme was often varied by Marx and Engels - how, once the \"normal\" pragmatic-utilitarian bourgeois daily life was established, its own violent heroic origins were disavowed. This possibility - not only the (obvious) possibility of an evental sequence reaching its end, but a much more unsettling possibility of an event disavowing itself, erasing its own traces, as the ultimate indication of its triumph, is not taken into account by Badiou: \"the possibility and ramifications of there being radical breaks and discontinuities that might, in part due to their own reverberations unfolding off into the future, become invisible to those living in realities founded on such eclipsed points of origin.\"\nSuch a self-erasure of the event opens up the space for what, in the Benjaminian mode, one is tempted to call the Leftist politics of melancholy. In a first approach, this term cannot but appear as an oxymoron: is not a revolutionary orientation towards future the very opposite of the melancholic attachment to the past? What if, however, the future one should be faithful to is the future of the past itself, i.e., the emancipatory potential that was not realized due to the failure of the past emancipatory attempts and for this reason continues to haunt us? In his ironic comments on the French Revolution, Marx opposes the revolutionary enthusiasm to the sobering effect of the \"morning after\": the actual result of the sublime revolutionary explosion, of the Event of freedom, equality, and brotherhood, is the miserable utilitarian/egotistic universe of market calculations. (And, incidentally, is not this gap even wider in the case of the October Revolution?) However, one should not simplify Marx: his point is not the rather commonsensical insight into how the vulgar reality of commerce is the \"truth\" of the theater of revolutionary enthusiasm, \"what all the fuss really was about\". In the revolutionary explosion as an Event, another utopian dimension shines through, the dimension of universal emancipation which, precisely, is the excess betrayed by the market reality which takes over \"the day after\" - as such, this excess is not simply abolished, dismissed as irrelevant, but, as it were, transposed into the virtual state, continuing to haunt the emancipatory imaginary as a dream waiting to be realized. The excess of revolutionary enthusiasm over its own \"actual social base\" or substance is thus literally that the future of/in the past, a ghost-like Event waiting for its proper embodiment.\nMost of the Romantic liberal enthusiasts who first welcomed the French Revolution were appalled by the Terror, the \"monstrosity\" unleashed by the revolution, and started to doubt its very rationale. The notable exception is here Percy B. Shelley who remained faithful to the Revolution to the end, without idealizing it, without washing away its terror; in his poem The Revolt of Islam, he formulated a rejection of the reactionary claim that the tragic and violent outcome is in some way the \"truth\" of the bright revolutionary hopes and ideals of universal freedom. For Shelley, history is a series of possible outcomes, possibility has priority over actuality, there is a surplus in it over its actualization, the spark that persists underground, so that the very immediate failure of emancipatory attempts signals to those who harbor future revolutionary aspirations that they should be repeated more radically, more comprehensively.\nPerhaps, the reason Badiou neglects this dimension is his all too crude opposition between repetition and the cut of the Event, his dismissal of repetition as an obstacle to the rise of the New, ultimately as the death drive itself, the morbid attachment to some obscure jouissance which entraps the subject in the self-destructive vicious cycle. In this sense, \"life\" as the subjective category of the fidelity to an Event \"keeps at a distance the conservation drive (the instinct misnamed 'of life'), as well as the mortifying drive (the death instinct). Life is what breaks up with drives.\" [14] What Badiou misses here is the fact that \"death drive\" is, paradoxically, the Freudian name for its very opposite, for the way immortality appears within psychoanalysis: for an uncanny excess of life, for an 'undead' urge which persists beyond the (biological) cycle of life and death, of generation and corruption. As such, death drive stands for the very opposite of the obscure tendency to self-annihilation or self-destruction - as is rendered clear in the work of Wagner whom Badiou admires so much. It is precisely the reference to Wagner which enables us to see how the Freudian death drive has nothing whatsoever to do with the craving for self-annihilation, for the return to the inorganic absence of any life-tension. Death drive does NOT reside in Wagner's heroes' longing to die, to find peace in death: it is, on the contrary, the very opposite of dying - a name for the \"undead\" eternal life itself, for the horrible fate of being caught in the endless repetitive cycle of wandering around in guilt and pain. The final passing-away of the Wagnerian hero (the death of the Dutchman, Wotan, Tristan, Amfortas) is therefore the moment of their liberation from the clutches of the death drive. Tristan in Act III is not desperate because of his fear of dying: what makes him desperate is that, without Isolde, he cannot die and is condemned to eternal longing - he anxiously awaits her arrival so as to be able to die. The prospect he dreads is not that of dying without Isolde (the standard complaint of a lover), but rather that of the endless life without her. The ultimate lesson of psychoanalysis is that human life is never \"just life\": humans are not simply alive, they are possessed by the strange drive to enjoy life in excess, passionately attached to a surplus which sticks out and derails the ordinary run of things. This excess inscribes itself into the human body in the guise of a wound which makes the subject \"undead,\" depriving him of the capacity to die (apart from Tristan's and Amfortas' wound, there is, of course, THE wound, the one from Kafka's \"A Country Doctor\"): when this wound is healed, the hero can die in peace.\nIt is at this point that one should turn to Deleuze against Badiou, to Deleuze's precise elaborations on repetition as the very form of the emergence of the New. (Of course, Badiou is too refined a thinker not to perceive the evental dimension of repetition: when, in Logiques des mondes, he deploys the three \"subjective destinations\" of an event (faithful, reactive, obscure), he adds a forth one, that of \"resurrection,\" the subjective re-activation of an event whose traces were obliterated, \"repressed\" into the historico-ideological unconscious: \"every faithful subject can thus reincorporate into its evental present a truth fragment which in the old present was pushed beneath the bar of occultation. This reincorporation is what we call resurrection.\" [15] His beautifully developed example is that of Spartacus: erased from official history, his name was resurrected first by the black slaves' rebellion in Haiti (the progressive governor Laveaux called Toussaint l'Ouverture \"black Spartacus\"), and, a century later, by the two German \"Spartakists,\" Rosa Luxembourg and Karl Liebknecht. What matters here, however, is that Badiou shirks from calling this resurrection repetition...)\nThe proper Deleuzian paradox is that something truly New can ONLY emerge through repetition. What repetition repeats is not the way the past \"effectively was\", but the virtuality inherent to the past and betrayed by its past actualization. In this precise sense, the emergence of the New changes the past itself, that is, it retroactively changes (not the actual past - we are not in science fiction - but) the balance between actuality and virtuality in the past. Recall the old example provided by Walter Benjamin: the October Revolution repeated the French Revolution, redeeming its failure, unearthing and repeating the same impulse. Already for Kierkegaard, repetition is \"inverted memory\", a movement forward, the production of the New, and not the reproduction of the Old. \"There is nothing new under the sun\" is the strongest contrast to the movement of repetition. So, it is not only that repetition is (one of the modes of) the emergence of the New - the New can ONLY emerge through repetition. The key to this paradox is, of course, what Deleuze designates as the difference between the Virtual and the Actual (and which - why not? - one can also determine as the difference between Spirit and Letter). Let us take a great philosopher like Kant - there are two modes to repeat him: either one sticks to his letter and further elaborates or changes his system, as neo-Kantians (up to Habermas and Luc Ferry) are doing; or, one tries to regain the creative impulse that Kant himself betrayed in the actualization of his system (i.e., to connect to what was already \"in Kant more than Kant himself\", more than his explicit system, its excessive core). There are, accordingly, two modes of betraying the past. The true betrayal is an ethico-theoretical act of the highest fidelity: one has to betray the letter of Kant in order to remain faithful to (and repeat) the \"spirit\" of his thought. It is precisely when one remains faithful to the letter of Kant that one really betrays the core of his thought, the creative impulse underlying it. One should bring this paradox to its conclusion: it is not only that one can remain really faithful to an author by way of betraying him (the actual letter of his thought); at a more radical level, the inverse statement holds even more - one can only truly betray an author by way of repeating him, by way of remaining faithful to the core of his thought. If one does not repeat an author (in the authentic Kierkegaardian sense of the term), but merely \"criticizes\" him, moves elsewhere, turns him around, etc., this effectively means that one unknowingly remains within his horizon, his conceptual field. When G.K. Chesterton describes his conversion to Christianity, he claims that he \"tried to be some ten minutes in advance of the truth. And I found that I was eighteen years behind it.\" Does the same not hold even more for those who, today, desperately try to catch up with the New by way of following the latest \"post-\" fashion, and are thus condemned to remain forever eighteen years behind the truly New?\n[1] Berel Lang, Act and Idea in the Nazi Genocide, Syracuse Univ.

        "raw_content": "La Mirada Pack 815 Will Allow Girls to Become Cub Scouts Beginning January 1st\nLa Mirada~Many of you may have heard the news announced this past October; Boy Scouts of America (BSA) is moving to a Family Scouting Program allowing girls to now become Cub Scouts.\nAlthough this topic may still be considered a \u201chot button,\u201d Cub Scout Pack 815 of La Mirada has stayed informed. Together, its leaders have made the decision to move to a Family Scouting Program as of January 1st, 2018.\n\u201cFamily units are not the same as they were fifty or even twenty years ago,\u201d Cubmaster Sandra Green shared. \u201cWhen my oldest son started Cub Scouts about seven years ago, I noticed many of the leaders were women. His den leader was a busy working mom, the committee chair was a full time working mom and so many of the key roles to keep the pack going were filled by women.\u201d\nShe continued, \u201cYears ago, Cub Scouts was geared more towards a father-son program but now, it\u2019s the norm to have moms, aunts, and grandmothers leading dens and packs.\u201d\nGreen, herself, never thought the role of Cubmaster would be one she would take on one day, \u201cWe recently split from a larger pack to form a smaller family community group and I was nominated to take on the role. It\u2019s been daunting at times, but a welcome challenge and a wonderful opportunity to meet new families. We\u2019ve learned so much since we started this pack in August\u2014just a few months ago. Our families have been amazing and the amount of support for our pack has been tremendous.\u201d\nThe decision to accept girls was made with careful consideration of the consequences including the fact some families may leave, wanting to be part of a program geared only towards boys.\n\u201cThe news came out at 10 a.m. on October 11th by BSA to allow girls into Cub Scouting. By noon, only two hours later, I had four non-scout families with daughters asking if our pack was going to accept girls and if so, they asked when their daughters could join,\u201d said Green.\n\u201cIt was a bit overwhelming because anyone who knows me is well aware of how opinionated I can be, but this was not the time for me to express my opinion but to just look at the facts. The facts are I\u2019m a Cub Scout leader. How could we deny a girl wanting to be in the same role participation in the program itself? It certainly wasn\u2019t up to me to make the decision alone. Our leader committee is incredible, with an Eagle Scout amongst our group. It was a discussion we opened up with our leaders.\u201d\nShe continued, \u201cI can see why people would be hesitant to have their daughters be part of Cub Scouts when the option for girls has traditionally been Girl Scouts. The funny thing is, I\u2019m also a Girl Scout Troop leader and I see both groups as options to empower our girls.\u201d\nGreen said sometimes change is good, \u201cIn the end, it\u2019s really about having our children become good citizens and leaders of tomorrow. Both organizations have so much to offer so why not give everyone an option? Cub Scouts make important decisions from a young age. Why not include everyone in those decisions and build critical thinking skills? Girls deserve just as much a chance as boys. I\u2019m glad we get to be part of this initial year of this evolving program.\u201d\nCub Scout Pack 815 is in its\u2019 first year of charter and meets within La Mirada regularly. Scout activities include camping, hiking, racing model cars, going on field trips, and participating in projects that benefit the community.

        "title": "Marianne Knuth leader of the month",
        "raw_content": "Marianne Knuth\nMarianne Knuth's story:\nThe story of Marianne Knuth is a story of achieving a unique perspective and following the passion of conviction.\nPerspective. When Marianne's family moved from Denmark to Zimbabwe during her childhood, a new reality confronted her. Many modern Western amenities were absent, yet she found a love of nature and a sense of community that had not been present in the West. With family still in Europe and Africa, Marianne spent time in both environments growing up. She went to school during the year in Denmark but returned to Zimbabwe in the summers. Her schooling continued in Denmark after her high school years as she advanced on to her undergraduate and master's degree. The perspective that her experiences had given her precluded Marianne from settling for a Western corporate job. Rather, she felt called to embrace the conviction of her passion.\nIt was this passion that led Marianne to establish a learning center in Zimbabwe to contribute to the creation of healthy, vibrant communities. Kufunda Village is a small learning village. Kufunda has model compost toilets, herbal remedy projects, day care centers for AIDS orphans, and more initiatives underway in several rural communities.\nFor her noteworthy perspective on the world, the vigor with which she has pursued her passion, and the significance of the task she is lending her leadership to, Marianne Knuth is the Leader of the Month for November 2005. Below, Marianne describes her insights and background with additional depth and detail.\nAbout Marianne Knuth\nCreator of the Kufunda Learning Village in Zimbabwe\nPlaces you call home: Kufunda, Zimbabwe & Copenhagen, Denmark\nHow Marianne arrived at her place in the world today: In 1984 our family moved from Denmark to Zimbabwe. Soon after our arrival we went to my grandparents homestead in Mhondoro in rural Zimbabwe. Since then I have been back and have loved it, but on this first journey I was shocked by all that wasn\u2019t as I was used to. My grandparents were not showering us with Christmas gifts as my Danish grandparents used to, the toilet was a squat toilet outside!, the water we drank came from a well quite a distance from the homestead, the Christmas dinner was not the roast duck I had become used to, it was boiled chicken and roasted goat (for them a wonderful treat that they had prepared for us and all the many, many members of the family arriving from far and wide), and worst of all I did not speak the language, so I was just a silent witness to this bizarre vibrant African gathering.\nAnd yet, though that memory stands so vividly, what I most recall was how happy I was over the next couple of years. We had bought a farm outside of Harare. I remember life at farm with lots of animals, and lots of scouting around out and about in the bush with our dogs, as sweet and fun and rich. I loved it. In subtle ways. It made Zimbabwe my soul home \u2013 the place where I felt truly home, where my body feels it belongs. And I have since come to realise how many important lessons she has taught me \u2013 during those early days and in the years that have followed. Lessons around the importance of spending time in nature, of being in community, perhaps simply of Being \u2013 with others. I also remember finally coming to love and appreciate my Zimbabwean grandparents, who I admired for the agility and hard work that they were still engaged in, this late in life: up at 5 each morning, and then to work \u2013 tilling the land, collecting water, grinding maize, and whatever else their days contained depending on the season.\nAt 16 I returned to Denmark. Alone. My grandmother invited me to come up for a summer educational programme, but through the ensuing conversations, we shaped it so that I returned for high school and subsequently university. My mother wasn\u2019t too pleased, but off I went. It seems that despite my Zimbabwean experiences I was still imprinted with the notion that the west was better and more advanced than Zimbabwe, and that it was \u2018cool\u2019 to be on this adventure.\nDuring my three years in high school I became increasingly puzzled at the notions of development, and progress, and wealth that I was coming to pay more attention to all around. I went home to Zimbabwe each summer vacation and became more and more aware of the absurdity of the discrepancy between that which I was told to value, and that which I was told to pity. It was the wealth/poverty distinctions, and more specifically as they were played out in my grandmothers that struck me. My Danish grandparents were a reverse culture shock to me as I returned to Denmark. They seemed suddenly so cold and aloof in comparison to my Zimbabwean ones. So focused on money, and giving me good manners, and keeping up appearances, as opposed to simply spending some good time together. And in fact, over the next years, I realised that my Danish grandmother was actually not happy, though in the eyes of the world, she was beautiful, wealthy and intelligent. My poor dusty Zimbabwean grandmother, by contrast, was full of energy, life, vitality, love and joy (though her life was and still is tough and demanding). She still stands as an incredible inspiration to me for what true wealth might mean.\nIt has become a part of my on-going journey to not value material wealth unduly, and to look more deeply for true wealth of heart, mind and spirit.\nPlace in the world you would most like to visit: Cuba: I have already traveled to many amazing countries around the world (I think Brazil is a favourite), but Cuba is one place that I have not been where I simply have to go to. I probably have an idealized image of the socialist experiment that Cuba is today. Regardless of whether or not I will be disappointed, I have to go and see what they have done. I would love to be a tourist in Cuba, their music and caf\u00e9 life sound amazing, and yet I would also want to go and visit their co-operative farms, their healthcare system (apparently Cuba has the highest number of doctors per capita in the world!), their schools, to get a sense of what they have accomplished and their lessons learnt.\nCurrent personal passion: An on-going passion, living at Kufunda, is demonstrating local self-reliance. Below, Marianne describes some of her other daily passions:\nBicycling: Growing up in Denmark, biking is an integral part of everyday life. Everyone bikes everywhere. Go to Copenhagen and you will see men in pinstriped suits cycling to their next meeting. Having moved back to Africa I have just recently rediscovered biking. Here it is not so much a matter of getting from \"a\" to \"b\" (unfortunately with the distances a car is necessary) as it is a way of getting incredibly enjoyable exercise. I am completely in love with it.\nGoing for a run with Jack, my dog, will forever be a passion of mine. Even if my body doesn\u2019t feel like it, knowing just how much he will enjoy it is enough to get me out running in the African bushveld.\nVipassana meditation \u2013 can that be called a passion? I think it might be. Although it is not always enjoyable, I think I do really love settling down on my cushion for my daily meditation.\nDream: An awakened Africa. Africa is incredibly wealthy in the power and wisdom of its people, communities, nature. And yet people don\u2019t recognize it, don\u2019t claim it. As long as we keep focusing on everything that we do not have, the very real material poverty that is, and are caught up in trying to catch up with the north, we shan\u2019t grow significantly. My dream is of a people reclaiming their power, wealth and wisdom, and applying it in a way that is true to them and their culture. What that looks like I have no idea. I am not dreaming of going back to the village or the past, but I am dreaming of an alternative to the chaos and mess that today characterizes much of urban and so-called developed Africa.\nToke Paludan M\u00f8ller, co-founder and C.E.O. of InterChange, a training and consulting company, says of Marianne Knuth, \"Marianne is a servant leader of the younger generation but holds grounded wisdom that has no age in her actions. She can lead anything that has soul and authentic meaning to sustainable fruition. She can be trusted to serve others and the new patterns we need to discover and create in the world right now. She always seeks to act from clarity and compassion. Marianne has the courage of the heart, constantly in learning and lives a life of practicing what she preaches. Humbly she serves life and humanity with her life. I truly respect, love and honor her as a friend, human being, teacher and as a leader. She wants no pedestal or honor for her efforts - and therefore she deserves to be leading others into their greatness. I wish there would be many more like her to lead in this important time for Africa and for the human race at large. And she is great fun to be with.........\"\nSera Thompson says of Marianne, \"I am one of many people who can say that meeting Marianne changed my life. It is kind of strange to say that because she is such a humble and down-to-earth person. But there is a huge power in this playful, elegant and sparky young woman. Marianne creates spaces which allow people to see something that they hadn\u2019t seen before. Meeting her and working with her was an experience of meeting my own potential and the force within me that I hadn\u2019t yet acknowledged. The thing that is most special about her leadership is that she inspires and capacitates other leaders. The shift that she helps create is about stepping into your potential and seamlessly helping others step into theirs. She creates these virtuous cycles every time she works, and she does it with grace and ease.\"\nBob Stilger, co-president of the Berkana Institute, shares his thoughts on Marianne: \"Marianne Knuth is a friend of brevity and silence. When she comes into a new room, she does so quietly. She listens. She offers respect to everyone. When she speaks, she does so with a powerful, grounded voice which commands immediate attention. When she speaks, she does so with deep authenticity. Her leadership arises from that place where her inner-world intersects with the needs of the outer-world. As she stands at that intersection, she calls others to find a similar place in themselves. Each time Marianne and I are together, I know that I\u2019ve been invited to be in the world from a space of true authenticity.\"\nMarianne Knuth and Leadership\nFavorite book: I thought about this for a long time \u2013 trying to think of books that influenced me growing up, and yet I arrived at a more recent book: Leadership and the New Science by Meg Wheatley. I think this book was a turning point for me in bringing lenses and language to things I had been feeling but did not know existed outside of me, and that I could use in my organizational work. I read it at the beginning of my term as president of AIESEC International, a global student organization, spanning 87 countries and 50,000 students. It became our compass and guide during the year, and the thinking has become an integral part of my life and approach.\nBooks recommended for aspiring leaders: Leadership and the New Science (mentioned above); Calling the Circle by Christina Baldwin; The Little Prince; anything by Herman Hesse; books by Ayn Rand \u2013 not that I subscribe to her worldview, but I find reading her very illuminating to understand certain views that inform a large part of the world today.\nMost admired leader: Nelson Mandela \u2013 Especially looking at countless examples of African leaders who have been unable to let go once they have tasted power. Mandela is an outstanding example of love and compassion. He forgave those who condemned him and his people to oppression. Other leaders speak the words of forgiveness but don\u2019t live them. He lived them fully though his leadership. And then after one term he stepped back. He had played his role as the one to bring South Africa from Apartheid to democracy, no need for him to stay on for another one or even two terms. Mugabe by contrast is on his 5th term! I also love him for his joyful spirit, coloured shirts, and quirky dance steps, which he brought with him into his statesmanship. A great man who does not take himself too seriously. A few more like him, and Africa would be such a different continent.\nTraits most important in a leader: Humility, Patience, Holding it all lightly, including him/herself (I still struggle with this), Ability to listen, Compassion/love for others\nFavorite quotation: \"Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. And on a quiet day, if you really listen, you can hear her breathing.\" - Arundhati Roy\nAdvice for aspiring leaders: Learn to dance with the universe. My experience \u2013 increasingly \u2013 over the past several years is that we can learn to work in tune with the universe. Often when we are in flow, things don\u2019t actually come from us, but rather come through us, and it is our work to learn how to be this channel, and how to access flow.\nFlow won\u2019t be with us as a constant, though. We will undoubtedly meet failure and obstacles, and yet we have to keep going. We have to trust and continue, even when it appears that we have hit the end of the road. As we keep going, we need to keep listening to our larger self, to the universe, god, call it what you may. Try to keep ego and fear of failure at bay, and walk on as a servant of life. In that knowledge that I am serving something larger, I have learnt to keep going. Eventually you will succeed \u2013 even if success will look quite different to what you thought it should as you set out on your journey.\nAnd as we go on our way, let\u2019s let go of the habit of trying to figure it all out on our own. I have learned the power of community and in what can happen when people get together with the intent to listen to each other, to learn together, to grow together, to create together. Magic can happen when we truly connect.\nI have included below notes from my master\u2019s thesis, where I studied nine people who in my view were exemplary in how they had managed to bring their spirit fully into their work. I have written it as advice to others seeking to learn how to do the same:\nGo to where your heart bides you go. Do only what fires you up. Find what you really care about and live a life that shows it. Live with the tingling!\nKnow that your life is meaningful, and that there is a special reason for you to be here. Find that meaning, and let it transform your life.\nFind your gift. What is your gift? Give it to the world. Express it. Sing it! Sing it loud and clear. Go only where you can exercise your gift.\nChoose who you want to be. Where are you going to draw the line? Draw it! And don\u2019t cross it.\nSimple and yet incredibly tough.\nFind a friend, find many, who will support your crazy explorations, who are there to tell you that you are not insane, who are there to tell you how great you are even as you go against the ideas and expectations of the entire world.\nAnd when the going gets really tough, take time for silence and connection to the vaster space inside and around you. Go for a walk in nature, meditate, go for a run, take a hot tub bath. Whatever it is that you do to wind down. Don\u2019t turn on the TV to zone out instead of zoning in.\nCome into the moment. Take time to arrive wherever it is you are. At the breakfast table, marvel over the beauty of the food before you, in the board room, what have you gathered here today to do, in groups of friends, at the communion you share.\nLive now, with consciousness.\nEmbrace yourself as the miracle you are. Allow yourself to shine, to laugh and to love. Embrace yourself as the miracle you are.\nToday. Not tomorrow. Today. Tomorrow does not exist. It slips into today forever evading us.\nWhat is your metaphor, story, or analogy for leadership? To me leadership is all about being a facilitator. When I returned to Zimbabwe I had the strong sense that I did not know the answers to the challenges faced in the villages I would be working with, but I knew that if I could bring people together we could figure it out together. And so I have brought something to people that they could not have brought to themselves, but the actual content of the knowledge and wisdom generated came from them, from the collective. Sometimes we bring in outsiders as we can see that there is important knowledge missing, but essentially what I do is facilitate group wisdom, group organizing towards action. It is such that at the end of the day they can say we actually did this by ourselves.\nWhat and where are the best training programs for leaders? Come to Kufunda for some months!\nLifetime Leadership Highlights for Marianne Knuth\nMy terms as president of AIESEC International. AIESEC is the internal association of students in business and economics ( www.aiesec.org). I joined AIESEC in '91, and in '96 became the first female president of the eighty-seven country, 50,000 member organization. I spent two years working full time for AIESEC in the Bruxelles headquarters, the second as President. In itself this was a feat for me (I had never been a president before, neither at national or local level in AIESEC, and no woman had been president of the global organisation), and yet what makes it a highlight is that it was during these years that I came to develop my understanding of more life-giving ways of organizing human endeavour. It was during this time that I was introduced to leadership and the new science and began to apply it to the organization. In many ways, Meg\u2019s book was a compass throughout the year, as our team set about to support AIESEC in becoming a more vision-filled, flexible, people-centred organisation.\nWe set out to dismantle a bureaucracy, and to work with developing the vision and DNA of the association together with its members \u2013 not as a small group of people, separated from the rest of the organisation, in a distant ivory tower, which AIESEC International was often accused of. We were looking for a DNA that would enable people to think for themselves, and to be free to respond creatively to different contexts and situations \u2013 instead of having a rigid organisation, in which people only knew to do one or few things, regardless context or change of context.\nAt the end of our one-year term, people were excited by the energy and the vision and passion that we had brought to the association. Yet they missed an essential piece of what this was all about: the creation of a flexible organisation, working with a clear identity as its base, enabling varied and creative responses depending on country and situation. The team that followed ours turned around and moved back towards more structure \u2013 streamlining AIESEC operations essentially. With it, they lessened the need for people to question and ponder and bring their own passion and heart and creativity into what could have become an ever-evolving AIESEC.\nAlthough the one-year terms that are the norm in AIESEC mean that it is hard to really engage in a longer-term process of change, it was an incredibly important learning for me of just how difficult it is to bring on the new, and how completely critical it is to keep working at developing good processes to do it, that truly involve and bring on board the people one is supposedly working for. This experience has defined for me my role in life of learning how to bring life-affirming practices to life in organizations and communities. It also made it clear to me that I did not wish to pursue the corporate route I had been in training for.\nBetween 1999 and 2001 I was setting up Pioneers of Change ( www.pioneersofchange.net) with a group of friends from around the world. Pioneers is a global learning community of change agents seeking to find ways to influence and positively shape the organizational systems they are a part of.\nSetting up Kufunda: In 2001 I returned to Zimbabwe with a strong dream, and no savings. A learning centre to contribute to the creation of healthy vibrant communities in Zimbabwe. It was to be an important part of my larger vision for an awakened Africa. At the same time, the Danes pulled out of Zimbabwe because of the political unrest, and my hopes for funding were dashed.\n4 years later, Kufunda is a reality: A small but vibrant learning village. 14 employees working full time in service of 5 rural communities. We run learning programmes at Kufunda, aimed not at handing over knowledge to the poor, but at generating and creating knowledge, new insights, practical solutions to sustainability challenges together. Kufunda also serves as a bridge between the north and the south. We have welcomed several groups from the US and Europe to join with us and the community organizers we work with in learning together, and in experiencing the richness of African community \u2013 in the midst of material poverty.\nFor me it was a case of knowing that I had to do it, and then just getting busy. It was a case of learning to ask for help (lots of help, lots of times) and in the process beginning to realize the value that was being created as friends stepped in to support me in making this dream a reality. The power of intent, and of simply starting. If I had waited until the funding had been there, or the programme had been clear, or \u2026 then I would still be waiting. Instead we have model compost toilets, herbal remedy projects, day care centres for AIDS orphans, and more initiatives under way in several rural communities. Most importantly people are working with a different level of belief in what is possible as they come together to work as a group.\nWhere to Go for More About Marianne Knuth\nVisit the website for the Kufunda Learning Village: http://www.kufunda.org.\nVisit the website for Pioneers of Change: http://www.pioneersofchange.net.",

        "raw_content": "With a variety of LGBT films showcased this week, we share our must-see picks to watch on the big screen.\nAs one of the longest-running LGBT film festivals in the country, the Honolulu Rainbow Film Festival will be celebrating its 28th year with 20 film screenings at the Doris Duke Theatre, in addition to talk story programs and other special events.\nIn addition to the 20 films screened between August 10th and August 18th, the Honolulu Gay and Lesbian Cultural Foundation (HGLCF) will roll out the signature Red Carpet on August 19th for a glamorous evening affair with delegates, celebrities, actors, and filmmakers.\nFinishing the festival with a bang, the Oscar-winning screenwriter of Milk, Dustin Lance Black, and Olympic diving medalist, Tom Daley, are hosting a pool party fundraiser in Waik\u012bk\u012b to benefit HGLCF.\nOur team selected a handful of films we\u2019re interested in to help you sort through the diverse titles.\nSummertime (L\u2019estate Addosso)\nI\u2019m a sucker for the \u201cendless summer\u201d genre and I\u2019m charmed by the story line of two Italian teens traveling to America, uncertain of their future and the events that will highlight their summer adventures. In addition, the film was awarded Best Soundtrack at the 2016 Venice International Film Festival. Fantastico! \u2014 Aja Toscano, digital content coordinator\nScreens Saturday, 8/12 at 8:15 p.m.\nI Dream in Another Language (Sue\u00f1o En Otro Idioma)\nThis film looks intriguing. A linguist researching the dying language Zikril unravels the troubled past of the last two Zikril speakers. The two men, who were once inseparable, have not spoken to one another in 50 years. The trailer suggests their relationship fell apart because of a woman, but the film festival\u2019s description implies it was their own romance that went sour. I guess I\u2019ll just have to watch the film to find out. \u2014 Andrea Lee, intern\nScreens Wednesday, 8/16 at 6 p.m.\nTrans people played a large role in the early LGBT rights movement in America, and I feel like films highlighting their impact and life are rare. Given the mystery and drama surrounding her death, it will be interesting to see how the movie tries to dig up details on such an old case and bring some sort of closure to a Stonewall icon. \u2014 Mitchell Fong, designer\nScreens Friday, 8/18 at 1 p.m.\nTimely and important. This film also looks affirming in making visible the resistance and leadership of those who are often the most marginalized in the community\u2014queer, black, and female.

        "raw_content": "\u00ab \u201cExodus: Gods and Kings\u201d Movie Review\n\u201cBirdman\u201d Movie Review \u00bb\nWhen you exit the theater after viewing \u201cThe Theory of Everything\u201d, the idea that any obstacle in life can be overcome has an even more profound meaning. The story of the famous English Cosmologist Stephen Hawking is, at times, a difficult film to watch, but ends in a way that becomes undeniably inspiring. Stephen\u2019s story is one of triumph and director James Marsh wisely chooses to focus attention primarily on his family life, while occasionally pointing to his accomplishments in the scientific community. The film is based on a memoir written by his wife of 30 years, Jane Hawking, which chronicles the peaks and valleys of their life together from the early years at Cambridge University, until they ultimately grow apart as neither is able to give what the other needs. As Stephen, Eddie Redmayne (\u201cMy Week with Marilyn\u201d, \u201cLes Miserables\u201d) turns in one of the best performances of the year, capturing both the charm and sly wit his character possesses, along with the physical demands of accurately depicting a person saddled with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig\u2019s Disease.\nAs a student in Cambridge\u2019s astute Physics department in the mid 1960s, Stephen impresses his professors with an array of brilliant ideology, consistently challenging the theories of his predecessors with ideas of his own that center around how the solar system was created and the existence of a God. He\u2019s awkward for sure. Reminding of Mike Myers\u2019 memorable Austin Powers character with his black rimmed glasses always seemingly crooked on his face. When he has a chance meeting with another student, Jane (Felicity Jones), they hit it off and soon find themselves falling in love. In life, tragedy can strike at any time as the situation Stephen finds himself in soon turns from good to bad. While simply walking to class, he stumbles unexpectedly to the ground and knocks himself out as if his legs gave out and failed him. After a number of medical tests, a doctor solemnly tells Stephen he has ALS, a disease which at the time gave him another two years to live.\nAs is covered extensively in the film, ALS systematically shuts down the ability of the brain to control muscular movement. As the disease progresses into its later stages, the patient will begin to lose voluntary movement, including functions such as chewing, swallowing, and speaking, among other complications. As a twenty something college student, Stephen was ill equipped to deal with the ramifications of the disease with his response being to virtually shut out his friends, teachers, and most importantly, Jane. With the story being as much about Jane as it is Stephen, we are quickly introduced to a resilient woman who makes a decision within the prime years of her life to dedicate herself to caring for Stephen, knowing full well what such a decision would mean.\nIt\u2019s not long before Stephen becomes confined to a wheelchair and is unable to feed or clothe himself. His speech becomes barely intelligible and yet he shows throughout the story his undying spirit and will to live. Rather than focusing on what he can\u2019t do, he focuses on what he can do. He is able to finish school, receiving his PhD in Physics and soon becomes a published author, noted around the world as a foremost expert in the theories involving black holes. Stephen and Jane are able to have a family and over time have three children. But Stephen\u2019s condition continues to get worse, even though it becomes clear he has outlived the original life expectancy by decades as the film moves into its third act. A bout with pneumonia renders him unable to speak, and yet he is still able to overcome this with the help of a nurse hired to care for him while recovering from a coma caused by the pneumonia. That nurse, Elaine Mason (Maxine Peake), would eventually become Stephen\u2019s second wife.\nElaine is able to step in to fill the void of being able to communicate that Jane is now clearly struggling with. Even though Stephen is outfitted with a device that allows him to type words one letter at a time at an expected rate of four words per minute, it becomes clear Jane is frustrated and longs for a normal life with a man who can fulfill her needs after caring so long for the needs of Stephen. What\u2019s not lost on the viewer is the extraordinary journey Stephen and Jane have taken and the amount of patience and dedication Jane has infused into their relationship. There is no doubt Stephen realizes this and as presented in the film, it\u2019s obvious the two decide to part on amicable terms. Amazingly, Stephen is alive today and at the age of 72, continues to head up the Center for Theoretical Cosmology at the University of Cambridge. Where many would likely have given up, Stephen Hawking has lived despite a terrible handicap and continues to be one of the greatest scientists in the world today. \u201cThe Theory of Everything\u201d capably honors Stephen and all he has accomplished, but also highlights the woman in his life whose love and sacrifice allowed him to succeed.

        "raw_content": "3 Ways the New Tax Law May Affect You\nThere are some pretty big changes coming for homeowners as a result of the tax reform legislation enacted last December. The available deductions and exemptions may change depending on whether you itemize your deductions in 2018 or take the standard deduction. The effect of the new tax law will vary depending on a variety of factors such as income level, whether or not you have a vacation home, and which state(s) your home is in. Below is a brief overview of some of the changes and the impact they may have on homeowners. Consult a tax expert to find out how the changes will affect you personally.\nMortgage Interest Deduction \u2013 This lowers the cost of homeownership by letting owners deduct the interest they pay on their home, second home, and vacation home (so long as they aren\u2019t rented out for more than two weeks a year) from their taxable income. The new tax law also lowered the cap for mortgages eligible for interest deduction from a million dollars to $750,000.\nMortgage Insurance \u2013 The deductibles for mortgage insurance costs and the value you receive from a short sale were not renewed in the new tax law.\nProperty Taxes \u2013 In the past, property taxes at the state and local level were deductible. The new law limits deductible property taxes to $10,000 per year.",

        "raw_content": "New Las Vegas museum has a 24-foot bong\nLas Vegas (CNN) - In this city where just about everything is over the top, a 24-foot bong might establish a new, well, high.\nThe two-story-tall specimen of supersized drug paraphernalia is the main attraction at Cannabition, a nonconsumption cannabis-themed museum opening September 20 at Neonopolis in Downtown Las Vegas.\nThough the museum doesn't sell weed for guests to smoke or eat, it does celebrate the recent rise of cannabis culture in Nevada and across the country. A progression of 12 small exhibits is designed to take visitors on a zany journey that teaches about botany, chemistry, psychoactive compounds such as Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and stoner culture since the 1960s.\nThe 10,500-square-foot museum comes at a time when the cannabis tourism industry in Las Vegas is -- pardon the pun -- budding out. Recreational cannabis use became legal in Nevada on July 1, 2017, and since then, statistics from the state's Department of Taxation indicate 61 licensed dispensaries have opened statewide, including 47 in Clark County (which includes the Las Vegas Valley).\nThis cannabis crescendo certainly is paying off for the state, which collected $69.8 million in tax revenue for the year ending July 1, 2018, 140% more than expected. By law, the money now will be allocated to fund state and local regulation of the industry, and what's left will be deposited into education coffers and a general fund.\n\"The entire experience of legalizing marijuana has been more successful than we ever thought it would be,\" says Nevada State Sen. Tick Segerblom, one of the legislators who led the push to make pot legal in the state. \"This museum, this idea of crafting an experience around cannabis, takes everything to the next level.\"\nWhat makes Cannabition work so well is the way it blends education and entertainment -- you're learning while you're there, but the place is almost too quirky and curious for you to notice.\nThis being Las Vegas, of course, there's an aspect of the museum that's endearingly superficial. Like the Museum of Ice Cream, Museum of Color and a handful of other attractions across the country, Cannabition was designed as an \"immersive experience.\"\nFor 38-year-old founder and CEO J.J. Walker, this means the entire place exists as one big backdrop for social media, replete with opportunities for \"hero moments\" you can share on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.\n\"People travel so differently today -- it's as much about doing something as it is about having done it and getting great pictures to prove you did it,\" says Walker, who opened and ran one of the first dispensaries in Colorado before moving to Las Vegas in 2015 to start the museum project.\n\"If we can get people in here, get them to share highlights of their experience with friends and in the process teach them something and make them more comfortable with the idea of cannabis, we've done our jobs.\"\nTouring the museum certainly is a surreal experience.\nAfter purchasing tickets at a kiosk on Fremont Street, visitors enter a room behind Banger Brewing Company with giant digits that spell out \"420,\" code for marijuana smoking in progress.\nFrom there, \"Cannaguides\" lead groups of 10 visitors through the first two exhibits -- an \"underground\" room with a daybed inside a pod designed to resemble a marijuana seed and a \"grow room\" with 7-foot-tall buds you can hug.\nOnce the guides depart, visitors are left to explore on their own. In one room there's a giant bag of weed with buds the size of bed pillows. In another, you climb up steep steps and launch yourself down a slide that whisks you through statues of human lips and smoke rings into a pool of foam nugs (for the uninitiated, these are really good buds).\nAn art room delves into the relationship between cannabis and creativity. A multisensory exhibit teaches about terpenes, the fragrant oils that give cannabis its range of different scents.\nThen there's the Red Shark, the 1973 Chevrolet Caprice owned by the late author (and noted cannabis aficionado) Hunter S. Thompson when he reported and wrote \"Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.\" Thompson was such a pothead he had developed his own strains of weed.\nOther spaces are designed to spotlight the two major types of marijuana: Indica and Sativa. The Indica room sports a giant Buddha and warm colors -- a Zen-like atmosphere for the calming and soothing highs the strain typically delivers. The Sativa room comprises cloud art and clouds you can sit on, a metaphoric reference to the uplifting and energetic highs people can get from this type of weed.\nThere's even an exhibit dedicated to the ways in which people currently use cannabis. Highlights of this area include a tree swing sponsored by Pax vape pens and a giant gummy bear.\nThe grand finale, of course, is Bongzilla, the 24-foot bong.\nThe piece is made entirely of blown glass, and is smokable, provided you pack a bowl with about a quarter-pound of weed.\nThough officials have no plans or permits to fill the bong's 100-gallon reservoir and light it for the public, visitors can climb steps or take an elevator to the top and pose so it looks like they're pulling a hit. The museum has set up a camera to capture this shot perfectly.\nThe rest of the museum is a work in progress. Later this fall, Walker says Cannabition will open an event space, a head shop (selling paraphernalia) and a store with products that comprise Cannabidiol, a legal cannabis compound that many experts believe to have medical benefits. Combined, the new areas will comprise roughly 3,500 square feet.\nHe adds that Cannabition also likely will offer free shuttles to popular dispensaries around town. One of them, the NuWu Cannabis Marketplace, is open 24 hours, boasts a drive-thru and bills itself as the largest dispensary in the world.\nEventually, whenever Nevada starts to dole out social consumption licenses, Walker says the museum will reconfigure part of its space to accommodate a lounge for smoking, vaping and consuming edibles.\nUntil then, however, the goal remains simple: To raise awareness, understanding and acceptance of cannabis across the board.\n\"Even as cannabis has become more widespread, there are still so many misconceptions about it,\" Walker says. \"With this experience, in this amazing city, we hope to demystify them all.\"",

        "raw_content": "YouTuber Nathalie Paris' Young Age Deals Dating Rumors & Alleged Boyfriend\nYouTube personality Nathalie Paris is famous for eponymous videos on YouTube.\nThe Colombian native, who also works as beauty and fashion blogger, has garnered a massive fan following at an early age of 18. Along with fame, she also got entangled with rumors of having a boyfriend.\nHowever, she shocked everyone instead by revealing that she was sexually harassed and hated men since then.\nFollow down the whole story!\nCrushes Rumors Regarding Affair\nBack in 2015, Nathalie was sparkling her interest in dating and made her social media, a medium for it.\nShe posted a tweet on 17 Aug 2015 and mentioned about wanting a boyfriend and a dog. Well, not sure about the dog, but she was linked to a dating rumor, hinting the presence of possible boyfriend.\nNathalie, who celebrates her birthday on every 23 October, was speculated to be dating Vine star Carter Reynolds after the pair was spotted hanging out at the Coachella together in April 2016. Carter even shared a picture of the alleged couple later on 17 April 2016, which further added fuel to the fire.\nNathalie hangs out with alleged boyfriend Carter on 17 April 2016 (Photo: Carter Reynold's Instagram)\nHowever, the rumored romance news didn't go well with Carter's ex-girlfriend, Maggie Lindemann, who had previously accused the Viner of forcing her to give an oral sex when she was a minor of only 15 years.\nMaggie went on to accuse her ex-boyfriend of dating another minor and wrote a tweet,\n\"Why does my ex keep getting with 15 year olds? You make me look bad.\"\nShe later deleted the tweet; however, the damage had been done as Nathalie had already seen the post. On 26 April 2016, she came forward on Instagram to disprove any rumors of the ongoing affair with Carter and even mentioned her age to be 16 and not 15.\nNathalie disproves the alleged romance with Carter Reynolds (Photo: Nathalie Paris' Instagram)\nAs of 2018, Nathalie is single and she may have a pretty strong reason as to why she doesn't want to date a man.\nReveals Sexual Harassment And Hatred Towards Male\nOn 22 October 2017, the beauty of Latin-American ethnicity came forward with a video in which she revealed her experience of being a sexual harassment victim. Further, she went to talk about the female celebrities who were the victim of the casting couch including Lady Gaga. She also went on to speak about her best friend, a singer, who had been repeatedly demanded by producers to have sex with them.\nNathalie further mentioned about men who had no respect and value for the opposite sex and treated women like a piece of commodity. Also, the YouTube personality talked about men who tried to hook up with her besides having their own girlfriends.\nMoreover, Nathalie described that all the Hollywood couples' relationships were fake and much different from how they show in public.\nIt seems like Nathalie has a lot of trust issues to address and unless she makes peace with the Hollywood lifestyle. And chances are the YouTuber may not date anyone until she gains back trust in relationships.\n#YouTuber #Carter Reynolds #Maggie Lindemann",

For years West side Irrigators have been dumping their selenium pollution into the San Joaquin River and SF Bay Delta Estuary without required pollution control permits.\nOn Friday August 31, 2012, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District if California ruled this selenium-polluted ground water being discharged into the sloughs, San Joaquin River and San Francisco Bay Delta Estuary is subject to the pollution control provisions of the Clean Water Act. Background: Since 1996 San Luis Delta Mendota Water Authority and USBR have been allowed to discharge Selenium into the sloughs, San Joaquin River and Delta in excess of Clean Water Act water quality protection standards without required permits. Recently in 2010 Western San Joaquin Valley growers sought and obtained another approximate decade long extension. The dischargers argued they do not need to comply with the Clean Water Act pollution control measures because they are exempted under an irrigated return flow provision.\nU.S. Geological Survey says benzene in California groundwater is mostly naturally occurring\nBenzene occurs infrequently in California public supply wells and comes predominantly from naturally occurring petroleum deposits deep in the ground, according to a study by the U.S. Geological Survey. Spills associated with underground fuel storage and above ground distribution systems have long been considered the main source of benzene in groundwater. This unique study finds that contamination most often occurs in older, brackish, groundwater located near naturally occurring deep underground oil and gas deposits.\nAs part of a statewide study assessing groundwater quality, scientists analyzed untreated groundwater from wells, not treated tap water. Groundwater used for public supply is typically treated by water providers to ensure compliance with water quality standards. \u201cThis study illustrates the value of letting scientific facts speak for themselves when dealing with critical issues such as the frequency and potential sources of groundwater contamination,\u201d said USGS Director Marcia McNutt.

The release of the Action Plan follows the agency\u2019s analysis concluding that existing federal and state water quality programs are not adequately safeguarding the ecosystem. \u201cCalifornia\u2019s economic security depends on a healthy Bay Delta,\u201d said Jared Blumenfeld, EPA\u2019s Regional Administrator for the Pacific Southwest. \u201cBy upholding the goals of the Clean Water Act, we can ensure that our water is fit for drinking, farming, recreation, and for fish and wildlife.\u201d\nThe Action Plan responds to findings and recommendations made following EPA\u2019s Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in 2011 that sought public input on the effectiveness of existing federal and state water quality protection programs.

        "raw_content": "Church settles lawsuit against Burbank\nBurbank, Illinois\u2014In 2010, Christian Assembly Rios de Agua Viva, a mainly Hispanic church located in Chicago, sought to accommodate its growing congregation by contracting to purchase the former Old Barn Restaurant at 8100 South Parkside, which had been vacant since 2008. While Rios was under contract to purchase the property that was then zoned commercial, it applied for a special use permit to use the facility for worship. At the time, the zoning code required churches to obtain a special use permit in commercial zones, but permitted similar use by civil, social, fraternal and political organizations without city approval. While the Church\u2019s special use permit was pending, Burbank city officials rushed through a zoning code amendment which prohibited churches at that location. Rios originally filed suit on Dec. 3, 2010. A few weeks later, the Church was forced to terminate the contract to purchase the property after the zoning code changed.\nAfter years of litigation, parties were preparing to head to jury trial to receive a ruling on the issues of Burbank paying damages to Rios for its discriminatory treatment of the Church. The parties reached a settlement on January 8, 2018 on the eve of a damages trial. The Court had previously found that the City\u2019s prior zoning ordinance violated the equal terms provision of the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (\u201cRLUIPA\u201d), 42 U.S.C. \u00a7 2000cc, and the Church could recover damages on this specific claim.\nPursuant to the terms of the settlement finalized on May 30, 2018, the City agreed to pay the Church $459,801 in damages, attorneys\u2019 fees and costs.\nAs for the Old Barn property, Burbank eventually constructed a power generator in the middle of the residential neighborhood. It is a shame Rios could not purchase the property, but thankfully, in November 2015, the Church purchased the former Oak Lawn Community Church located at 9000 S. Ridgeland Avenue, where it continues to worship and serve the greater Hispanic community to this day.\nPastor Luis Ruiz said, \u201cwe are pleased that we were able to settle this dispute. Our prayer is for Burbank to prosper in God\u2019s ways and to never again engage in such hurtful discrimination.\u201d\nFor press inquiries, contact Attorney John Mauck at 312-853-8709 or jmauck@mauckbaker.com.",

He received his B.S. and M.S. degree, both in electrical engineering, from the National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan in 2011 and 2013, respectively. He arrived at USC one week ago, and now we have an interview with him, talking about his background and his thoughts on USC and MCLab.\nWhat were your first impression of USC and MCLab?\nUSC definitely has a wonderful campus view. The buildings are beautiful and consistent in style. There are trees and grass yards everywhere, and of course I notice the famous fountains in the campus. After the first look on the USC campus, I am so excited that I can pursue my degree in this wonderful place.\nAs for MCLab, my first impression is that it is really like a big family. People in here are really friendly and willing to help as well as share their own experience, either in academy and living. I have received lots of help since I decided to join MCLab, especially from Professor Kuo, Brian and Joe.\nCould you briefly describe your previous research experience?\nIn the last 2 years of my B.S. program, I was interested in various areas, such as wireless communication, machine learning, video coding, and computer graphics. Since my M.S. program, my research topic mainly focuses on wireless video transmission. I have worked on two projects on wireless video transmission. Both of them tried to adaptively improve video quality over wireless channel with different channel quality. But one tries to improve video quality with video codec parameter selection, and the other proposed a cross-layer video decoding algorithm, exploiting the natural information redundancy with video sequence.\nWhat is your future expectation in MCLab?\nThe most important thing is that I wish I could find some interesting and challenging research topics. After all, this is the main reason why I want to pursue further study in a Ph.D. program. I really enjoy the feeling that devoting myself to solve a problem using my own knowledge. Currently, I keep open-mind to all the research topics, and I think that computer vision is really interesting and challenging. Second, I would like to keep improving my coding and implementation skills, which is crucial to my future research and career life in my opinion. Moreover, I wish I could excel at English skills including presentation, communication and academic writing. Last but not the least, I expect that I could enjoy a fulfilling life in USC with all the MCLab members.\nBy Siyang Li|August 26th, 2014|News|Comments Off on Interview with new MCL member Wei-Chih Hung",

Beginning in June, when current cards expire, they will be replaced with new cards having a DOD identification number replacing the Social Security number, officials said. The DOD identification number is a unique 10-digit number that is assigned to every person with a direct relationship with the department. The new number also will be the service member's Geneva Convention identification number.\nAn 11-digit DOD benefits number also will appear on the cards of those people eligible for DOD benefits. The first nine digits are common to a sponsor, the official said, and the last two digits will identify a specific person within the sponsor's family.\nSocial Security numbers embedded in the bar codes on the back of identification cards will remain there for the time being, and will be phased out beginning in 2012.\nThe department will replace identification cards as they expire. \"Because cards will be replaced upon expiration, it will be approximately four years until all cards are replaced with the DOD ID number,\" Matoush said.\nThe identity protection program began in 2008, when DOD started removing Social Security numbers from family member identification cards.\nCommon Access Card Website [ http://www.cac.mil ]\nDOD to Drop Social Security Numbers from ID Cards [ http://www.defense.gov/news/newsarticle.aspx?id=63409 ]",

(Whom I assume represents the voters and taxpayers?)\nOther significant landowners in the New Forest National Park include the National Trust, Hampshire County Council, the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust and some private estates and landowners.\nFor those interested in \u2018fungi politics\u2019 the EU Charter on Fungi Gathering and Biodiversity 2013 sets out very clear guidelines for the way that landowners and land managers (especially of publicly owned lands) like the Forestry Commission England, Natural England and other authorities should engage with the public. It also sets out the responsibility of those of us who forage, both private individuals and commercial collectors.\nIt is clear, in the case of the New Forest blanket fungi picking \u2018ban\u2019, that the Forestry Commission completely ignored the EU guidelines. The full Charter paper is here. From page 9 onwards, a set of Principles are laid out with recommendations for all parties in the debate. At the heart of this, is transparent regulation and consultation with ALL stakeholders which includes local people who forage (including the Eastern European community), those who teach foraging (many represented by the Association of Foragers), commercial pickers as well as mycological societies, conservation groups, etc.\nI can\u2019t imagine that any of the public want to see the loss of a habitat or a species. This includes commercial foragers (possibly excepting \u2018illegal gangs\u2019) as nonsustainable harvesting now, depletes their livelihood in the future. I know several commercial foragers and, from personal experience, they are acutely interested in conservation. But conservation also needs to include humans and human activities.\nThe answer to everything is Education, Education, Education (of all parties) and that requires Engagement and Consultation. The Forestry Commission has no evidence on the impact of collecting fungi on the forest and yet hasn\u2019t engaged with those that forage and know the forest and its fauna intimately in a way that the FC doesn\u2019t.\nThey are missing a huge opportunity to gather data, teach more people about sustainability, and create support for strategies that ensure all benefit \u2013 including the fungi. Sadly, their one-sided blanket pick \u2018ban\u2019, even on the forestry plantations which don\u2019t qualify for SSSI status except that they are adjoined to ancient forest, demonstrates a dictator-like, non-consultative approach to the general public. This doesn\u2019t bode well for access to any public land in the future by us, the commoners, although it will probably do nothing to deter the \u2018illegal gangs\u2019.\nPlease also note that the Forestry Commission Scotland is a separate body that does have an excellent approach to the inclusion of stakeholders in the management of foraged resources.\nPrevious PostWhy foraging?

        "raw_content": "Dead Remote (formerly The Nielsen Raiding), Thanks Buddy, & Bryan McPherson @ The Blue Lagoon Wednesday 11/21/12\nDead Remote (formerly The Nielsen Raiding)\nIt ain't easy being a three piece in a world of music that is processed and overdone so we bring what is real back to a punk rock trio. Oh, and we will bring it.\nWe are three guys hailing from Santa Cruz, California. Have you heard of it, dudes? We brought you The Lost Boys...that's right...The Lost Boys. Whatchu got? S.C. also has a lineage of punk rock and the three of us are glad to put it back on the map.\nFolk Punk Rock N Roll band outta Santa Cruz, CA\nBuncha friends playing good ol rock and roll tunes for ya.\nFolk / Rock / Punk\n\"Bryan McPherson was born and raised in Dorchester, MA, an Irish-Catholic neighborhood of Boston known for its tough demeanor and sometimes narrow world view. He grew up exploring music through Boston's punk rock scene, which often reflected the values fostered by his hometown. When it came time to pursue music of his own, however, Bryan found his own road to walk. While his friends bought second-hand half stacks, he got an acoustic guitar. Dorchester's Street Dogs and Pug Uglies often sing about the trials of growing up in that neighborhood. Bryan's lyrics also reflect his upbringing, but from a broader perspective as he explores his place in this world and the struggles of the human race. Bryan's road brought him to folk music: the music of the people.\nOn Bryan McPherson\u2019s second album, he finds himself in California continuing the story that started in Boston. In American Boy American Girl, Bryan explores the dark underbelly of the American dream. From factories to farmlands, riots to prisons, mountains to dark city streets, Bryan explores this narrative and spits rage in the face of those who oppress, those who would have us be afraid, those who control for their own selfish means. He paints humanity as one group, with \"no creed, no class, no nation.\" The songwriting reveals his punk rock foundation through a lens shaped by Dylan and Guthrie. American Boy American Girl displays Bryan's range and talent, and hints at a future of limitless potential. Bryan McPherson's songs are protest music at its best. He rails against injustice and inequality, and government in any form that would make subjects of its citizens. Fittingly, American Boy American Girl will be released on April 17, 2012: tax day.\"\n- State Line Records\n\u2022 Bryan McPherson was a major supporter of the \"Occupy\" movement. He performed at the protest\nencampments for free alongside Amanda Palmer, Michael Moore, NoFX and Anti-Flag.\n\u2022 Bryan toured with the Dropkick Murphys and did a week-long residency as a part of their St. Patrick\u2019s Day celebration in Boston where he played to an estimated 24,000 people.\n\u2022 Bryan played a pivotal role in the New York City \"Anti-Folk\" movement.\n\u2022 Bryan had the rare opportunity to open up and perform for Rock and Roll Legend, Chuck Berry.\n\u2022 Bryan's reach continues to grow; he recently returned from London where he performed a one-off show in\nfront of a capacity audience.",

        "raw_content": "In some personal injury cases, filing a lawsuit is the only way to recover any compensation from the guilty party. However, if your case is not strong, there is a possibility that going to court is not the best option for you. Before filing your lawsuit, here is what you need to know.\nWhy Should You File?\nThere are several advantages to filing a lawsuit in a personal injury case. For instance, the verdict could result in more compensation than you would have gotten through negotiating with the defendant. In addition to this, depending on the circumstances of your case, you could also receive punitive damages.\nPunitive damages are awarded by juries when they feel that the actions of the defendant were particularly reckless. The amount that you would receive is decided by the jury.\nAnother benefit of filing a lawsuit is that you will have a court order in hand that can be enforced through various methods in case the defendant does not want to pay the amount ordered. For instance, you could ask the court to order wage garnishment if you are unable to collect what you are ordered.\nWhy Should You Not File?\nAlthough there are advantages to filing, there are some drawbacks. One of the biggest is the possibility that you could lose. If you do, you could lose out on receiving any compensation for your injuries and damages.\nAnother downside to consider is the fact that filing a lawsuit can take time. How quickly your case moves through the court system depends on several factors including the court's availability and whether or not there are any motions slowing the process. By contrast, you could probably settle your case in a shorter period of time.\nIs Filing the Right Move?\nUltimately, the decision of whether or not to file a lawsuit is yours to make. However, you should carefully examine the details of your case to determine if a lawsuit is your best option. When evaluating your case, there are several details to pay close attention. Those factors include:\nThe extent of your injuries and damages\nThe cost of filing a lawsuit\nYour role in the accident that led to the injuries\nAll of these factors could have an impact on how successful your case is. For instance, if you were partially responsible for the accident, a jury might not agree that the defendant owes you anything for your injuries or damages.\nConsult with a personal injury attorney to receive help determining if filing a lawsuit is the right move in your situation.\nFor a car accident lawyer, contact a law firm such as Klafter & Mason LLC.",

        "raw_content": "by Jeffrey Taylor \u00b7 Published November 14, 2017 \u00b7 Updated November 15, 2017\nLast month (October 2017) more than 250 experts from 35 countries met at the Royal Hospital Kilmainham in Dublin for the 31st Plenary Meeting of the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR). The Plenary marked the beginning of Ireland and Iceland\u2019s Co-Chairmanship of the regime, which will last until the next Plenary meeting scheduled for 2018.\nFive days of planned meetings were condensed into four days when severe storm conditions across Ireland on Monday October 16th meant that the first day of meetings had to be cancelled.\nHowever, thanks to the flexibility and diligence of the chairpersons of the meetings, and the participants themselves, the shortened MTCR Plenary week remained a productive forum for discussion on a wide range of issues related to missile proliferation.\nOn Tuesday and Wednesday, technical expert groups met to exchange information on proliferation trends and procurement strategies used by proliferators, technology trends in missile programmes and efforts to exploit export controls.\nOn Wednesday afternoon (October 18th), the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, Simon Coveney T.D formally opened the 31st Plenary Meeting of the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) alongside the Icelandic Permanent Secretary of State, Mr Sturla Sigurj\u00f3nsson.\nIn his remarks Minister Coveney stated:\n\u201cIreland is very proud to partner with our Icelandic counterparts and assume the role of Co-Chair for the 2017-18 Session of the MTCR\u2026 together with our Icelandic partners, we are showing ourselves ready to meet our obligations to promote non-proliferation by co-chairing the MTCR\u201d\n\u201cIn the 30 years since its formation, the MTCR has proven its worth. It has now expanded to encompass 35 partners, partners who are united in a common purpose. The spirit of cooperation has always been a feature of this regime and it is a feature that is now more than ever needed if we are to ensure our success and to continue to lead the way in terms of missile non-proliferation.\u201d\nMr Sigurjonsson, in his remarks, highlighted the need for the MTCR to remain relevant in the face of a rapidly changing security environment, and fast-paced technological advancements.\n\u201cWe as MTCR partners have a responsibility to adapt to emerging threats to our security with technical expertise, flexibility, political judgement. \u2026 We will also work to ensure that the MTCR retains its efficacy in the face of ever-evolving technical and security developments.\u201d\nFollowing these statements, the Outgoing Chair of the Regime, Director General Ham Sang-wook handed over the gavel to the Incoming Co-Chairs \u2013 Ambassador Breifne O\u2019Reilly from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade in Ireland and Minister Counsellor Bjarni Vestmann from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Iceland.\nOver the course of the Plenary meeting delegations discussed a variety of issues including the challenges posed by Intangible Technology Transfer, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and Regional Proliferation.\nOn Friday afternoon, all 35 MTCR Partners agreed a joint Public Statement by consensus, the full text of which can be found here. The Statement reiterates the regime\u2019s commitment to limit the risks of missile proliferation by controlling international transfers than can contribute to delivery systems that can be used for Weapons of Mass Destruction.",

By this time he had composed several works for chorus and a Humoreske for orchestra, which enjoyed a vogue in Germany.\nHis chief reputation rersts on his opera Haensel und Gretel, which was produced at Weimar, 1893. In 1896 the Kaiser made Humperdinck a Professor and he went to live at Boppard.\nFour years leater, however, he went to Berlin where he was appointed head of a Meister-Schule of composition.\nAmong his other operatic works may be mentioned Dornroschen, Die Honigskinder (produced for the first time in New York this season) and Die Heirath wider Willen.\nNext story Alexandre Alexandrovich Ilynski\nPrevious story Johann Nepomuk Hummel",

        "raw_content": "The Ukraine situation is continuing and could possibly to degenerate into civil war. Now, I usually love to write about things like this. I do my research and take the time to write an article that explains everything. But, Ukraine? Well, that situation changes so rapidly that any article I write is out of date by the time I post it.\nTwo of the characters in this story have very similar names so I will give them middle names so you can tell them apart.\nEnough with the perfectionism I will just have to write it anyway. Ukrainian politics has been quite tempestuous over the past two decades after breaking away from the USSR in 1991. In Ukraine there seems to be two forces at play one pulling them towards the Russian Federation and another pulling them towards the west. There appears to be animosity between Russian speakers in eastern Ukraine and Ukrainian speakers in the west.\nThe roots of this crisis began in September 2004 when Viktor \"Uki\" Yushchenko was nearly killed by dioxin poisoning possibly given to him by Russian agents. In November that year the pro-Russian Viktor \"Rusky\" Yanukovych won the election. The result was disputed by the opposition candidates, the scarred but alive Viktor \u201cUki\u201d Yushchenko and Yulia Tymoshenko. There were large protests that finally resulted in the Ukrainian Supreme Court annulling the November election results - an event now called the orange revolution. After a second poll in December a coalition of Viktor \u201cUki\u201d Yushchenko and Yulia Tymoshenko was victorious.\nThere was a falling out between Viktor \"Uki\" Yushchenko and Yulia Tymoshenko splitting their coalition. This resulted in Viktor \"Rusky\" Yanukovych winning the 2010 election - Yulia Tymoshenko was sent to jail soon after.\nWith such brutal political scheming it is no surprise that everything fell apart in November 2013. The Ukrainian government still refused to release Yulia Tymoshenko. The Ukrainian cabinet also ditched a trade agreement with the EU. This outraged many in western Ukraine provoking very large protests. The pro-Russian Ukrainian cabinet made the stupid decision to use extreme violence against the protesters.\nThis only generated more outrage and pretty soon Viktor \"Rusky\" Yanukovych disappeared only to reappear in Russia a couple of days later.",

I pass out randomly..it has happened to me three times over the past year and it happened to me once again tonight, but tonight it occured three times in a row. Does anyone have any thoughts or ideas on what might be happening to me? Could it possibly be I'm lacking something in my diet, or is it something severe? It occurs very rarely, but I think I have pinpointed it to every few months......I am very confused!!!!!\nThis kind of problem isn't something to ignore. You could have an injury, brain damage, brain cancer that's pressing on an artery, or worse.\nSee a doctor now.\nI think that any time anyone experiences ANYTHING out of the ordinary, like blacking out, for instance, they should see a doctor right away. I do not think posting about the problem on a message board is wise because posting does NOT give one the medical attention they need!\nAs Myst pointed out, your condition could be very serious, or it could be benign. You may be having seizures...but you will not and cannot know for sure, unless you see a doctor!\nI urge you to see one as soon as possible!\nYes please see a doctor, but when you do make sure your room mate drives you, I would hate to hear that you blacked out while driving and got into an accident.\nI am aware that posting on a message board doesn't help the situation.....yet this doesn't happen all the time and I know when it will happen, as I stated in my original message......I was just wondering if there is a possibility of lask of sodium, or something to that effect...\nNo, there isn't. You don't black out from not having enough salt.\nYou black out from a serious problem that you should be seeing a doctor about.\nhttp://health.yahoo.com/health/dc/003092/0.html\nAnd I think you should follow the advice of those who have posted and see a doctor as soon as you can. You're doctor can tell you if you're problem is dietary, or otherwise. He or she is also better able to diagnose you, since they can examine you, and a poster cannot. (unless, of course, they happen to be your doctor! :) ) the fact is, a doctor or nurse, is far better able to diagnose you than we are. Yes, some doctors probably do post and ead here, but I think they would urge you to consult your own doctor, even if they suggested a possible diagnosis. It is the best way to assure accurate treatment.\nAnd Neo Phoenix has a point, you should have a friend drive you, just in case you feel a fainting spell coming on.\nI MY opinion, and my opinion only, I feel the BEST way to find out about any potential medical condition is to see someone trained in medicine. If cost is problem, orif you do not have a personal phsyician, most areas have a low cost or free clinic, which can also provide you with answers, or a referal to someone who can help you.\nI hope you follow the advice of those who have posted so far and, get well soon! :)\nhospital emergency rooms are obligated to treat you by law,\nregardless of your condition to pay.\nwow, I didn't know that little tidbit of information! I am doing fine for all of your information...thank you for your concern w/this matter!\nOriginally posted by tube527\nHave someone else drive you to the doctor.\nMy father started blacking out a while ago. He'd start laughing, or coughing, and all of a sudden, just slump in his chair, and completely black out. It was very scary, and very wierd, because it could happen anywhere, at any time. At the dinner table, behind the wheel of a car, at work.....\nGet it Checked...soon. And I totally agree with Mol. Until you get treated, and figure out what is wrong, best not to do anything which could put you in danger. No driving, i wouldn't go taking walks alone..operating heavy machinery..etc. Make sure you let others around you know what is going on..so say you black out in the bath, you don't like..drown yourself..etc.\nOh..in my Dad's case, it was throaght pollyps. What would happen is that they would occasionally swell, and cut off his air supply.

        "raw_content": "You are here: Home / Dating / The 6 deadly mistakes in women appeal\nThere are many mistakes in women\u2019s response. This leads to the woman slowly losing interest. For it is shown to her that one does not necessarily possess the typical masculine qualities that women seek.\nHere I show 6 mistakes that men make when they want to appeal to women and for some reason, it does not work out.\nToo long waiting\nA long wait will cause your head to find more and more excuses for a non-response. If you\u2019re waiting for women to wait too long, you\u2019re getting more and more nervous. It is bad if you want to address the lady but still think in and around. Sometimes it makes sense to wait, for example, when it is served at the bar grade.\nIf you have the chance to speak to the woman, then do it. If you do not know what you can say, then say something like \u201cHey, how long have they still open here?\u201d. This is enough for an icebreaker to build a conversation.\nMake excuses to avoid talking\nMaybe you know this: You go down the street and you see a woman who likes you. Now all the excuses come, not to speak to them. All of this makes you think of your brain. Actually, nothing can happen to you.\nIf you ask her, then the worst thing that can happen to you is \u201cThank you, but I have a friend!\u201d. This response can be overcome. But not with willpower. The excuses are only in your head.\nTo solve the problem, you can go to town for an afternoon and write down all the excuses that appeal to women. Most excuses in women are just thought constructions.\nThink that women do not want to be addressed\nWomen want to be addressed and get to know a great and attractive man. Unless they are happily forgiven, then less. If you are a great conversational partner and you can give it a great time, then yes.\nIt is important that you do not approach them in the same way. Over a compliment or an invitation to coffee, most women are happy. You can address the women indirectly and build a conversation with her.\nIf you want your relationship lasting longer, please read unlock her legs review to know more tips.\nIf a woman keeps eye contact with you, then she wants to be addressed. But if you hesitate and consider for a long time whether you should address them, the woman remembers. It\u2019s amazing how good women remember that.\nThe longer you wait, the worse your chances are. Because it comes over as if you want to address them, but can not address. This is not a good start. You should not go over there. If you go through the 6-step exercise against the response, you will feel much safer.\nWhat is also important is clean clothes and a reasonable style. Since you simply let yourself be advised by a professional.\nComplexes because of their own appearance\nThe appearance of a man is not as important as the typical male characteristics. Why? As a man, you are responsible for protecting the woman, taking the lead, defending your family, and finally ensuring the transmission of your genes.\nBecause the good appearance does not matter. Different with the woman. The appearance of the women is important for the men, as they recognize how healthy and fit the woman is.\nMen stand on the look of a woman and women stand on the typical male characteristics of a man.\nOf course, you should take care of your body and eat well as well as make sports (eg combat sports). But focusing only on your own appearance is unfortunately wrong.\nDo not know what to say\nIf you have nothing to think about with the woman, then it is as if you have no similarities. Self-awareness in dealing with women is important. Nevertheless, one should also know what to talk about.\nBy this I mean the topics to get to know each other better. This includes sexual issues. For girls, I think it\u2019s good for you when you read talk to his heart review before dating.\nThese errors are more or fewer uncertainties. And uncertainties are an abductee for women. Because they show that you do not have the necessary self-awareness. As I said, the male characteristics are important to women.\nI recommend the online seminar of Estefano D\u2019Elano for the necessary self-esteem. If you want to get a better understanding of the topic of \u201cmanhood\u201d, I recommend Orlando Owen and his blog magickmale.com. Learn the basics of authentic male strength.\nThere you will find many important tips and a free e-mail training. You can get the same at Estefano D\u2019Elano from Dating-Psychologie.com.\nFiled Under: Dating Tagged With: women appeal",

Once again, she perfectly mixes her witty dialogue, fabulous characters, engaging storyline, and sexy romance. After reading the prior books in the series, I knew these two would have a story to tell, and boy, did they!\nDawson and Paige were best friends, turned frenemies, turned something more. They had been friends since childhood until something changed it all, leaving them in a constant battle against one another. Although, maybe this battle is a little bit more one sided than the other realizes. A weekend away, some heartache, too much alcohol, and a few bad decisions throw these two together in the most unlikely way.\nI can't get enough of this series. The complexity and evolution of these characters made it so easy to fall in love with them. Blaine created the perfect balance of sarcasm and truth, of strength and vulnerability. Together, they shined. Their chemistry was palpable and their passion was undeniable.\nWe are treated to time with past characters. We get the chance to see where their relationships are now and enjoy the interactions between the group.\nP.I.T.A is RomCom at its best! The laugh out loud moments were ample and perfectly combined with a few emotional moments and a tumultuous, yet sweet and sexy romance. Bravo, Ms. Blaine, you've outdone yourself!",

The spacebar is used to shoot. The shift key is used to enter hyperspace. If you need to pause the game, you may do so by using the P key.\nMissilebreak Outvaders Moon Patrol Berzerk Iron Mike's Punch Out Joust Xevious Track and Field II\nAsteroids Walkthrough\nAsteroids is a classic arcade game released in 1979 by Atari. It was developed by Lyle Rains and Ed Logg (although Logg did all of the actual programming). Asteroids became a smash hit in the United States, and spawned numerous clones and ports that can be found on home consoles, cellular phones, and all across the Web. Some of these clones add new features, while others remain true to the original arcade game. This Flash version of Asteroids does an excellent job mimicking the original arcade game.\nThe objective of Asteroids is to destroy all of the asteroids on the stage. Shooting asteroids causes them to break apart into smaller, faster-moving asteroids until they are at the smallest size, where shooting them will cause them to disintegrate completely. When all asteroids have been destroyed, you will advance to the next level where the process will be repeated. Just like in the original version of this classic game, UFOs will occasionally appear on screen and shoot at you. These UFOs can be destroyed by your weapons, but they can also crash into asteroids. If your ship is hit by a UFO's gunfire or if you collide with a UFO or asteroid, you will lose one life. When all lives are lost, the game is over.\nControlling your ship is simple. The left and right arrow keys rotate your ship. The up arrow key activates your thruster. Unlike the original version of this arcade game, your ship will eventually slow down after releasing the thruster, so you do not need to worry about inertia as much. Passing the edge of the screen will cause your ship to appear on the other side of the screen. If you need to quickly evade collision, press the shift key to enter hyperspace and reappear in a random position on the screen. Be careful when entering hyperspace, because you may end up getting out of the pan only to jump into the fire!\nThis Flash version of Asteroids is a respectable clone of the classic game. I wasn't able to make it to 99,990 points, but if anyone does, please let us know if the score reverts back to zero like it did in the arcade game!\nBubble Bobble 2 is the Flash version of the NES game, Bubble Bobble Part 2, which was released by Taito...",

        "raw_content": "Displaying items by tag: Benigno Aquino\nModi, Aquino Visits Emphasize Canada\u2019s Commitment to Asia\nby Peter Sutherland in Toronto\nAfter a hesitant start, Canada has picked up its game and appears committed to play a larger role in Asia, the world\u2019s fastest growing economy and most dynamic region. This is clear from the recent visits by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Philippine President Benigno Aquino.\nAlthough the two countries differ in scale and influence, the visits shared much in common. Both had a strong trade and investment orientation and both played to large, politically active Diasporas.\nNarendra Modi\u2019s visit was the first by an Indian Prime Minister in 42 years and was prompted in part by his appreciation for Canada\u2019s early engagement in Gujarat during his tenure as Chief Minister.\nIt was equally motivated by the prospect of attracting Canadian investment in two priority sectors \u2013 infrastructure and manufacturing. Infrastructure is the biggest single bottleneck to faster economic growth, and significant expansion in manufacturing jobs is needed to absorb the 11-12 million young people entering the workforce every year.\nThe most tangible result of the visit was the signing of a $350 million agreement with Cameco for the long-term supply of uranium. This is the first concrete manifestation of the Nuclear Cooperation Agreement signed in 2013, which removed a major bilateral irritant, and is intended to encourage further collaboration in nuclear and other forms of energy.\nAlthough there was commitment by both Prime Ministers to accelerate finalization of the Comprehensive Economic Partnership (CEPA) and Foreign Investment Protection (FIPPA) agreements, there was no significant movement and the opportunity for a breakthrough was missed.\n[quote align=\"center\" color=\"#999999\"]The foreign leaders see the approximately 1.2 million Indo-Canadians and 800,000 Filipino-Canadians as bridge-builders between the two countries, an important source of remittances, investment and support back home.[/quote]\nThe Philippine President\u2019s visit was also a long time coming, the last being in 1997 when former President Fidel Ramos visited. The country is one of the top three fastest growing economies in Asia and, like India, Canada has designated it a trade priority.\nAlthough a smaller market than India ($1.8 billion versus $6.3 billion in merchandise trade), the Philippines is a gateway to Southeast Asia and a founding member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) group, which has a collective GDP over $2.3 trillion. It is also chairs the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) this year.\nSimilar to the Indian Prime Minister, President Aquino was keen to talk up Canadian investment in infrastructure and other sectors of the Philippine economy and had the opportunity to do so in Ottawa, and with a select group of CEOs in Toronto, as did Modi. There was also an unexpected agreement to begin exploratory discussions about a free trade agreement.\nThe Philippines has recently been designated as a focus country for Canada\u2019s development assistance program and the visit saw the signing of a framework agreement outlining the specifics of this assistance. Canada\u2019s bilateral assistance program in India ended in 2002.\nSecurity was a common theme in both visits. Prominent on the agenda were the growing assertiveness of China in the region and ongoing terrorist threats in South and Southeast Asia. Canada has an annual Security Dialogue in place with India and signed an agreement for cooperation in security and defence with the Philippines in 2012.\nIndian, Philippine Diasporas Underutilized Assets\nThe highlight, and some say the point of both visits was relations with the large Indian and Filipino Diasporas.\nThe foreign leaders see the approximately 1.2 million Indo-Canadians and 800,000 Filipino-Canadians as bridge-builders between the two countries, an important source of remittances, investment and support back home. With a federal election six months away, the timing of the visits was felicitous for the Harper government.\n[quote align=\"center\" color=\"#999999\"]For companies, finding a Canadian who is familiar with local business practice in these markets and has ready access to a network of reliable contacts on the ground can be a substantial competitive advantage.[/quote]\nApart from the political mileage to be gained by courting the two Diasporas, they are underutilized assets. Not in the sense of influencing an ethnic-oriented foreign policy, which is in nobody\u2019s best interest, but as informed stakeholders who can contribute to the policy debate and sometimes play a back-channel role in its implementation.\nFor companies, finding a Canadian who is familiar with local business practice in these markets and has ready access to a network of reliable contacts on the ground can be a substantial competitive advantage.\nNotwithstanding the agreements reached, documents signed and the photo-ops, the most important result of the two visits was reaffirmation that Canada is ready to play a larger role in Asia.\nWe have been slower than many to recognize and act on the gravitational shift from west to east. Sustained and active engagement is therefore needed to prove our bona fides and secure a place at the table.\nPeter Sutherland is the Senior Business Advisor Asia at Aird & Berlis LLP and former Canadian High Commissioner to India and Ambassador to the Philippines.\nAquino Visit Foiled by Low Turnout, Protests, Poor Planning\nAfter a whirlwind of quick stops that took him first to Chicago and then to Ottawa and Toronto, President Benigno Aquino III ended his first North American visit in Vancouver Saturday.\nBut the small audiences that came to see him on the west coast marred whatever political mileage his host, Prime Minister Stephen Harper, was clearly aiming for.\nEven more disconcerting were the dogged persistence of a small, but militant, advocacy group, Migrante Canada, which describes itself as \"an active defender of the rights and welfare of overseas Filipino migrants\" and in some ways was able to distract attention from Aquino during the Toronto and Vancouver visits.\nAccording to a pamphlet the organization gave out during the protest, Migrante B.C. is deploring the President's visit as a, \u201cploy to create a fictitious image of the Harper government\u2019s harmonious relationship with our community in Canada, which at this very moment is reeling from the recent changes to the Temporary Foreign Workers\u2019 Program and the overhaul of the former Live-in Caregiver Program.\u201d\n[quote align=\"center\" color=\"#999999\"]To be fair to Aquino, his \u2018kababayans\u2019 (countrymen) across Canada were more than eager to meet him \u2013 the legacy of his mother and father\u2019s assassination still lingering in their minds.[/quote]\nImmigration Minister Chris Alexander announced the changes to the program last year affecting temporary workers and caregivers under the \u2018four in and four out\u2019 rule. A worker must work in Canada for fours years and return to the country of origin for fours years before applying again. Those affected by the rule were deported starting April 1 this year.\nVancouver protesters were actually duped by the visit organizers, as they were under the false impression the event would be held at the Pan Pacific Hotel \u2013 just a block away from the Vancouver Convention Centre.\nWhen the protesters arrived at the hotel they had to regroup in front of the Vancouver Convention Centre.\nPolice told them to move their demonstration to a nearby street but they refused, moving just a few metres from the front of the convention centre.\nBy this time almost all of the people attending were already inside the building and did not notice the demonstration.\nMost of the people who stopped to listen to the speeches of the protesters were tourists who were walking around the Coal Harbour seawall, as two cruise ships were at the dock.\nExcept for the CBC, all of the mainstream media and local Filipino media were inside covering the reception. It is doubtful if Aquino himself knew about the protest, although a couple of TV camera men with the presidential entourage quickly passed the demonstrators and hurried back inside the centre.\nNot the Media Frenzy of Modi\nTo be fair to Aquino, his \u2018kababayans\u2019 (countrymen) across Canada were more than eager to meet him \u2013 the legacy of his mother and father\u2019s assassination still lingering in their minds.\n[quote align=\"center\" color=\"#999999\"]Attendance was far lower than the 10,000 earlier media reports said the Toronto Consulate was initially aiming for.

Silva (@VSilvaCusi) in Toronto\nFrom Ottawa to Toronto to Vancouver, protest actions met Philippine President Benigno S. Aquino III wherever he went on his three-day state visit to Canada.\nIn Toronto, protesters gathered earlier than the scheduled opening of doors at 3 p.m. At around the same time, some Filipino guests invited to the \u2018by-invitation-only\u2019 event also started to line up to enter the venue.\nGroups of Filipino-Canadian protestors, joined by their Canadian supporters, numbered at about 200 by their estimate, turned up to advocate against some policies of both Aquino and Prime Minister Stephen Harper.\nAmong the issues that the protesters brought to the fore were Aquino\u2019s alleged human rights violations, the Mamasapano deadly encounter, Mary Jane Veloso\u2019s death row case in Indonesia and the plight of other Filipinos overseas on death row and the policies affecting Filipino temporary foreign workers (TFWs) in Canada, including live-in caregivers.\n\u201cMigrant rights, human rights under attack, what do you do? Stand up! Fight back!\u201d chanted the protesters.\n[quote align=\"center\" color=\"#999999\"]\u201cWe urge you to look deeper in the root causes of our community\u2019s issues.

(Photo Credit: Wynne's official Twitter account.)\nMigrante Canada, one of the groups protesting, said it was reaching out to the Kababayans (Filipino countrymen) who attended the Toronto event also.\n\u201cWe urge you to look deeper in the root causes of our community\u2019s issues,\u201d said Jesson Reyes, regional coordinator for Migrante Canada in Ontario. \u201cIt is poverty, lack of decent jobs and landlessness in the countryside in the Philippines that continue to hold us back as a nation.\u201d\nHe also noted that the two state leaders talked about nothing new in their speeches, and he took aim at the objective behind the state visit.\n\u201cIt is without a doubt that certainly one of the few agendas of PNoy\u2019s visit to Canada is for the Conservatives to secure the votes of Filipino-Canadian voters in the upcoming federal elections,\u201d said Reyes. \u201cBy listening to the tone of the Prime Minister, he ensured people yesterday that his government\u2019s \u2018promises\u2019 will be kept for so long as he is seated in Ottawa.\u201d\n[quote align=\"center\" color=\"#999999\"]\u201cThis government is not going to have a policy \u2013 for as long as I\u2019m Prime Minister \u2013 where we will have a permanent underclass of temporary people who are here forever with no rights of citizenship and no rights of mobility.\u201d - Stephen Harper[/quote]\nIn a press conference in Ottawa, earlier in the day, Harper defended the controversial TFW program, which affects thousands of Filipinos.\n\u201cThis government is not going to have a policy \u2013 for as long as I\u2019m Prime Minister \u2013 where we will have a permanent underclass of temporary people who are here forever with no rights of citizenship and no rights of mobility,\u201d said Harper in Ottawa.\nAnd Aquino responded: \u201cI think that policy should be held proud, not criticized.\u201d\nReacting to this, Reyes said: \u201cIt shows that PNoy and his government do not have a clear understanding of the plight of TFWs in Canada and the abuses many of our Kababayans face by not having a permanent status.\u201d\nMigrante Canada joins other migrant groups in calling for landed status for foreign workers. The organization also deplores the Philippines\u2019 labour export policy, which is driving many Filipinos to seek employment elsewhere.\nThe Conservative Campaign\nIn the weeks leading up to Aquino\u2019s visit media reports reiterated Reyes\u2019 sentiment that the state visit could be a strategy of the Conservatives to try to win over the Filipino community in Canada \u2013 estimated to number from half a million to 700,000 \u2013 in time for federal elections scheduled in fall. In recent years, the Philippines has been one of the top source countries for immigrants to Canada, next to China and India.\nIn Toronto, the state leaders spoke to a crowd of some thousands of members of the Filipino-Canadian community at Roy Thomson Hall. While Aquino\u2019s speech was the highlight of the community gathering, Harper brought in his campaign team to cheer for him.\n[quote align=\"center\" color=\"#999999\"]The event, at times, sounded more like an election campaign, with each leader taking turns speaking of each other\u2019s accomplishments while highlighting bilateral ties and trumpeting the Pinoys\u2019 good qualities.[/quote]\nNational Defence and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney (MP, Calgary Southeast), who was formerly Citizenship and Immigration Minister, wore a Barong Tagalog and gamely posed for photographs with some Filipinos in the lobby after the event.\nKenney has been credited for winning the so-called ethnic votes for the Tories in the 2011 elections.\nNot to be outdone, federal Finance Minister and Torontonian Joe Oliver told the crowd: \u201cJason Kenney may be wearing a barong, but I\u2019ve reached the third level in the Knights of Rizal,\u201d something which drew applause from the crowd.\nBut it was Harper who got the loudest applause for revealing: \u201cI\u2019m also going to note \u2013 with some pride \u2013 that on my wife\u2019s side, I now also personally have some Filipino relatives.\u201d He didn\u2019t elaborate though.\nThe event, at times, sounded more like an election campaign, with each leader taking turns speaking of each other\u2019s accomplishments while highlighting bilateral ties and trumpeting the Pinoys\u2019 good qualities.\nFilipinos Integral Part of Canada: Harper\n\u201cThe President\u2019s visit gives our government, gives Canadians, the chance to recognize and celebrate the success and contributions of Canada\u2019s Filipino community,\u201d said Harper.\nAs an example of this Filipino success, the Prime Minister proudly recognized the Filipino-Canadian designer who created the logo of the 150th anniversary of Confederation, which will be in 2017, Ariana Mari Cuvin of Toronto.\nHarper went on to enumerate Filipino qualities that have become world famous \u2013 work ethic, loyalty, and deep faith: \u201cFilipino-Canadians have now become an integral part of every single aspect of Canadian society.\u201d\nThen, there was the reminder of Canada\u2019s multi-million dollar aid to the Philippines after Typhoon Haiyan struck in late 2013.\n\u201cDuring those dark days, Canada was there for our friends in the Philippines,\u201d said Harper. \u201cCanada was, in fact, the third largest humanitarian donor in the world to the relief efforts, a drive led by Filipino-Canadians that our government was proud to match dollar for dollar right across this country.\u201d\nIn early 2014, it was announced that individual Canadians contributed over $85 million in eligible donations.\nCanada also sent relief teams to the Philippines to help out and has committed more assistance in the reconstruction of areas affected by the typhoon.\n[quote align=\"center\" color=\"#999999\"]Unfortunately for the Filipino Torontonians, Aquino hardly offered the crowd something new.

His speech in Toronto was almost identical to the one he gave in Chicago, Illinois a few days prior.\nFor example, in boasting of his administration\u2019s infrastructure projects, Aquino told the Toronto crowd the same joke about the new Lullutan Bridge in Isabela.\n\u201cAng tawag kaya, ang buong pangalan kaya nito ay Lullutang at Lulubog Bridge? (Do they call this bridge Lullutang (floating) and Lulubog (sinking) Bridge?),\u201d Aquino asked the audience in Toronto. And like in Chicago, this part of the speech elicited the same response of laughter.\nAlso like in Chicago, Aquino boasted about his administration\u2019s job programs and economic gains, adding that the numbers he presented were actual statistics.\nBut there were other projects Aquino mentioned to the Toronto crowd like achievements in the coconut industry and in the Philippines\u2019 weather forecasting capabilities.\nAmidst the mix of cheers, standing ovations and protests, both state leaders outlined the gains earned from the state visit.\nCanada announced more aid and assistance to the Philippines, which has been identified as a country of focus for Canada\u2019s international development efforts, and initiatives were announced in the areas of free trade, occupational health and safety, development assistance, police and security, and counter terrorism in the Asia-Pacific region.\nPresident Aquino Arrives in Ottawa\nJust days after Filipinos worldwide suffered the blow of boxer Manny Pacquiao\u2019s loss to American Floyd Mayweather, the Philippines\u2019 President Benigno Aquino landed in North America, first in Chicago yesterday, and then in Ottawa today, for a three day Canadian state visit.\nThough the visit didn\u2019t generate quite the media frenzy as last month\u2019s visit from Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Aquino was met with a warm, but fairly private, welcome in the nation\u2019s capital.\nThe visit, which sparked mixed reactions from the Filipino-Canadian community, is aimed at strengthening the relationship between both countries and their respective leaders.\nThe Philippines is Canada\u2019s third largest source of immigrants from Asia, right after India and China respectively. And while Winnipeg, Toronto and Vancouver have large Filipino Diasporas, the growing community of 700,000 plus extends as far as up north in the Whitehorse, Yukon and Yellowknife, Northwest Territories.\n[quote align=\"center\" color=\"#999999\"]\"Canada aims to support the Philippines through a variety of programs and responses.

With a deal on nuclear trade, renewal of bilateral trade relations and promises made on counter-terrorism, this trip can be hailed a massive domestic and international success for Stephen Harper.\nHarper could only hope for the same type of success with President Aquino.\nYet, with visits from these two leaders \u2013 who represent countries with high levels of immigration to Canada \u2013 an important counter-narrative has also emerged.\n[quote align=\"center\" color=\"#999999\"]With Prime Minister Modi\u2019s visit, speculation has been rife about the \u00ad\u201cModi-effect\u201d on Conservative electoral chances in Indo-Canadian populated regions in the country, arguably some of the most heavily contested ridings in Canada.[/quote]\nFor example, Tim Harper at the Toronto Star has suggested that the \u201creal payoff for Harper might come when Indo-Canadian voters go to the polls in October.\u201d\nOthers have wondered if Harper\u2019s overtures may also have an electoral motive with the large diaspora groups settled in Canada from these two countries.\nWith Prime Minister Modi\u2019s visit, speculation has been rife about the \u00ad\u201cModi-effect\u201d on Conservative electoral chances in Indo-Canadian populated regions in the country, arguably some of the most heavily contested ridings in Canada.\nModi\u2019s trip to Canada certainly was diaspora-focused.\nSpeaking in Toronto, he commanded a 10,000-strong audience of largely Indo-Canadians keen to get a glimpse of India\u2019s new \u201cRockstar\u201d PM. This event marked the halfway point in a four-day Canadian tour, which included a whirlwind of photo ops at Parliament Hill, Rideau Hall and the Air India Memorial in Toronto.\nThis was followed by visits to Vancouver and a trip to a Hindu temple and Sikh gurudwara in Surrey, BC \u2013 one of the most densely Indo-Canadian populated cities in the country.\nYet, we should be wary of making tall claims about electoral gains. If Conservatives see electoral gains in these ridings, it won\u2019t be because of Modi or Aquino necessarily.\nMore Required to Sway Votes\nAs shown by Prime Minister Modi\u2019s trip, these visits do not do enough to differentiate Stephen Harper\u2019s foreign policy from other candidates to be an election issue, particularly the Liberals' Justin Trudeau.\nTrudeau\u2019s sit down with Modi also articulated the importance of India for his party, suggesting Canada-India relations would not be damaged by a Liberal victory this fall.\nSimilar to Harper\u2019s army of ministers traveling to India in droves, Trudeau\u2019s Liberal party has also made its presence known in India. There is precedent for this \u2013 it was, after all, Liberal Prime Ministers Chretien and Martin that led Team Canada delegations to India in the late 1990s.\nOn the other hand, Tom Mulcair didn\u2019t seem to think Modi\u2019s visit would change his electoral fortunes. He did not take an opportunity to meet with Modi, citing scheduling challenges.\n[quote align=\"center\" color=\"#999999\"]Harper seems to assume that immigrant voters are not particularly complex. He appears to believe that a few photo ops and press conferences with foreign leaders will sway ethnic Canadians to the Conservative party.[/quote]\nMeeting with Modi might not be electorally important to Mulcair \u2013 two large Indo-Canadian communities in Canada, Brampton East and Surrey North, are already held by NDP MPs, despite the party\u2019s limited stance on Canada-India relations.\nFurther, Harper seems to assume that immigrant voters are not particularly complex. He appears to believe that a few photo ops and press conferences with foreign leaders will sway ethnic Canadians to the Conservative party.\nHowever, like all other voters in the country, immigrant communities have complex reasons for how they vote \u2013 there is no electoral proof that ridings with large ethnic populations will elect one party over another on the basis of foreign policy.\nMPs from all parties are elected in ridings in Brampton, Mississauga, Scarborough, Abbotsford, Surrey and Richmond \u2013 all highly diverse communities across Canada.\nImmigrant Vote is Complex Terrain\nMy research rejects this developing narrative. It has found that Canada\u2019s immigrant communities are driven by all of the same factors as other voters, including quality of social services, investments, health care, education and economic benefits such as tax relief.\nThey may vote Conservative because of their social values, NDP for their environmental policies, or Liberal because of their social policies, but explanations should not be isolated to one set of beliefs.\n[quote align=\"center\" color=\"#999999\"][T]hese communities are composed of second- and third-generation immigrants, women, linguistic and religious minorities, none of whom necessarily vote for or identify with homeland politics. [/quote]\nIn a review of electoral outcomes, my research found that votes are often split between parties in largely ethnic ridings, regardless if opposing candidates are from the same or different immigrant groups. This research is supported by significant scholarship in Canadian Foreign Policy that has acknowledged that foreign policy has little salience in electoral politics.\nSimilarly, this narrative does not account for differences and complexities within immigrant communities. It ignores the idea that these communities are composed of second- and third-generation immigrants, women, linguistic and religious minorities, none of whom necessarily vote for or identify with homeland politics.\nProminent India-watchers in Canada, such as Kasi Rao have noted that the \u201cIndo-Canadian community has made strides in all parties in Canada, federally and provincially and I think the community has now deepened in Canada.\u201d\nGiven the religious, ethnic and nationalist divisions within the Indian diaspora, it cannot be assumed that they vote as a unified entity.\nWith President Aquino\u2019s visit upon us, expect numerous photo opportunities, important speeches and a number of well-timed handshakes. But if Prime Minister Harper believes that this will have a positive effect on the upcoming election, he may have another thing coming.",

Ahead of each FIFA World Cup, the SCWC unites street children from across five continents to play football and join in a unique international conference. Through football, art and campaigning, the SCWC aims to challenge the negative perceptions and treatment of street children around the world, and as representatives from Burundi, we are overjoyed to be able to take-part in this movement and to promote and challenge those same perceptions of street child in Burundi and further afield.\nWe will be joined in Rio by teams from all over the world, including Brazil (obviously!), the Philippines, Ukraine, Tanzania, Kenya, Sierra Leone, India and Pakistan, and we cant wait to meet with each team and take part in some healthy competition!\nAs the SCWC approaches, New Generation is busy training with some of our boys and girls often 3 times per week, and we hope to really bring the nation together with this fabulous opportunity. We will be sending a team of 8 boys to Rio, and they are already excited about the prospect.\nThe 2010 SCWC saw India emerge as victors, and the boys believe they have a chance to bring home the World Cup to Burundi! And why not! Its a fabulous opportunity not only for our boys but also to spread the message held dear by the SCWC organisers that every child should have the right to the same opportunities and protection, whatever their history and their background.

        "raw_content": "Home / Business / Cambridge Analytica to File for Bankruptcy After Misuse of Facebook Data\nCambridge Analytica\u2019s offices in London in March. The firm became embroiled in a data harvesting scandal on Facebook that compromised the personal information of up to 87 million people.CreditAndy Rain/EPA, via Shutterstock\nThe embattled political consulting firm Cambridge Analytica announced on Wednesday that it would cease most operations and file for bankruptcy amid growing legal and political scrutiny of its business practices and work for Donald J. Trump\u2019s presidential campaign.\nThe decision was made less than two months after Cambridge Analytica and Facebook became embroiled in a data-harvesting scandal that compromised the personal information of up to 87 million people. Revelations about the misuse of data, published in March by The New York Times and The Observer of London, plunged Facebook into crisis and prompted regulators and lawmakers to open investigations into Cambridge Analytica.\nIn a statement posted to its website, Cambridge Analytica said the controversy had driven away virtually all of the company\u2019s customers, forcing it to file for bankruptcy in both the United States and Britain. The elections division of Cambridge\u2019s British affiliate, SCL Group, will also shut down, the company said.\nBut the company\u2019s announcement left several questions unanswered, including who would retain the company\u2019s intellectual property \u2014 the so-called psychographic voter profiles built in part with data from Facebook \u2014 and whether Cambridge Analytica\u2019s data-mining business would return under new auspices.\n\u201cOver the past several months, Cambridge Analytica has been the subject of numerous unfounded accusations and, despite the company\u2019s efforts to correct the record, has been vilified for activities that are not only legal, but also widely accepted as a standard component of online advertising in both the political and commercial arenas,\u201d the company\u2019s statement said.\nCambridge Analytica also said the results of an independent investigation it had commissioned, which it released on Wednesday, contradicted assertions made by former employees and contractors about its acquisition of Facebook data. The report played down the role of a contractor turned whistle-blower, Christopher Wylie, who helped the company acquire Facebook data, calling it \u201cvery modest.\u201d\nCambridge Analytica did not reply to requests for comment. The news of Cambridge ceasing operations was earlier reported by The Wall Street Journal and Gizmodo.\nThe company, bankrolled by Robert Mercer, a wealthy Republican donor who invested at least $ 15 million, offered tools that it claimed could identify the personalities of American voters and influence their behavior. Those modeling techniques underpinned Cambridge Analytica\u2019s work for the Trump campaign and for other candidates in 2014 and 2016.\nBut Cambridge Analytica came under scrutiny over the past year, first for its purported methods of profiling voters and then over allegations that it improperly harvested private data from Facebook users. Last year, the company was drawn into the special counsel investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election.\nThe company was also forced to suspend its chief executive, Alexander Nix, after a British television channel released an undercover video. In it, Mr. Nix suggested that the company had used seduction and bribery to entrap politicians and influence foreign elections.\nFacebook has since announced changes to its policies for collecting and handling user data. Its chief executive, Mark Zuckerberg, testified last month before Congress, where he faced criticism for failing to protect users\u2019 data.\nThe controversy dealt a major blow to Cambridge Analytica\u2019s ambitions of expanding its commercial business in the United States, while also bringing unwanted attention to the American government contracts sought by SCL Group, an intelligence contractor.\nBesides working for the Trump campaign, Cambridge Analytica was previously hired by the political action committee founded by John R. Bolton, the national security adviser. It had also worked for the 2016 presidential campaigns of Ben Carson and Senator Ted Cruz.\nBut no candidates for federal office in the United States have disclosed paying Cambridge Analytica during the 2018 cycle. A Republican congressional candidate in California did report voiding a $ 10,000 transaction with the company in early March, according to federal election records.\nThe company also unsuccessfully tried to court some major commercial clients in the last year, including Mercedes-Benz and Anheuser-Busch InBev, the global brewer, according to one former employee. Cambridge pitched AB InBev by claiming that it could position Bud Light as the beer for the young party crowd and Budweiser for old-school conservatives, according to the former employee, who asked not to be named because the person was restricted from speaking about the company\u2019s business.\nIn recent months, executives at Cambridge Analytica and SCL Group, along with the Mercer family, have moved to created a new firm, Emerdata, based in Britain, according to British records. The new company\u2019s directors include Johnson Ko Chun Shun, a Hong Kong financier and business partner of Erik Prince. Mr. Prince founded the private security firm Blackwater, which was renamed Xe Services after Blackwater contractors were convicted of killing Iraqi civilians.\nCambridge and SCL officials privately raised the possibility that Emerdata could be used for a Blackwater-style rebranding of Cambridge Analytica and the SCL Group, according two people with knowledge of the companies, who asked for anonymity to describe confidential conversations. One plan under consideration was to sell off the combined company\u2019s data and intellectual property.\nAn executive and a part owner of SCL Group, Nigel Oakes, has publicly described Emerdata as a way of rolling up the two companies under one new banner. Efforts to reach him by phone on Wednesday were unsuccessful.\nThe former Cambridge Analytica employee said that staff members were originally told there would be an all-hands meeting in London on Tuesday, but that it was pushed back a day. Then, after assembling at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday, they were kept waiting through the morning and much of the afternoon before Julian Wheatland, the company\u2019s chief executive, delivered the news.\nThe damage to the company\u2019s reputation was simply too severe, and it was \u201cfutile\u201d and \u201cpointless\u201d to try to rebuild amid investigations in the United States and Britain, Mr. Wheatland said, according to the former Cambridge Analytica employee, who was informed by those in attendance.\nEmployees in Washington were notified during a conference call later in the day. They were then told to turn over their identification cards and any company property and to go home. By 2 p.m., Cambridge Analytica offices on Pennsylvania Avenue were empty save for a single man, who refused to answer questions from a reporter.\nBen Protess and Adam Goldman contributed reporting.\nA version of this article appears in print on , on Page A1 of the New York edition with the headline: Scandal Sinks a Consulting Firm That Mined Facebook for Trump.

        "raw_content": "U.S. Backs Florida's New Counterterrorism Database\n'Matrix' Offers Law Agencies Faster Access to Americans' Personal Records\nWednesday, August 6, 2003; Page A01\nPolice in Florida are creating a counterterrorism database designed to give law enforcement agencies around the country a powerful new tool to analyze billions of records about both criminals and ordinary Americans.\nOrganizers said the system, dubbed Matrix, enables investigators to find patterns and links among people and events faster than ever before, combining police records with commercially available collections of personal information about most American adults. It would let authorities, for instance, instantly find the name and address of every brown-haired owner of a red Ford pickup truck in a 20-mile radius of a suspicious event.\nThe state-level program, aided by federal funding, is poised to expand across the nation at a time when Congress has been sharply critical of similar data-driven systems on the federal level, such as a Pentagon plan for global surveillance and an air-passenger-screening system.\nThe Florida system is another example of the ongoing post-Sept. 11 debate about the proper balance between national security and individual privacy. Yesterday the District and the Department of Homeland Security announced plans to launch a pilot law enforcement data-sharing network that will include Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania and New York.\nPaul S. Cameron, president of Seisint Inc., the Boca Raton, Fla., company that developed the Matrix system and donated it to the state, said: \"It is exactly how law enforcement worked yesterday, except it's extraordinarily faster. In this age of risks that appear immediately, you have to be able to respond immediately.\"\nSome civil liberties groups fear Matrix will dramatically lower the threshold for government snooping because other systems don't allow searches of criminal and commercial records with such ease or speed.\n\"It's going to make fishing expeditions so much more convenient,\" said Ari Schwartz, associate director of the Center for Democracy and Technology, a nonprofit that monitors privacy issues. \"There's going to be a push to use it for many different kinds of purposes.\"\nThe Justice Department has provided $4 million to expand the Matrix program nationally and will provide the computer network for information sharing among the states, according to documents and interviews. The Department of Homeland Security has pledged $8 million, state officials said.\nAt least 135 police agencies in the state have signed up for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement database service, which began operation more than a year ago. At least a dozen states -- including Pennsylvania, New York and Michigan -- said they want to add their records.\nIn some ways, Matrix resembles other data-driven counterterrorism initiatives started since the 2001 attacks. The Pentagon's controversial Terrorism Information Awareness program also sought to use personal data in new ways, but on a far larger scale. The idea, started by retired admiral John Poindexter, was to create a global data-surveillance system that might find subtle signs of imminent threats. Lawmakers sharply limited the program's funding several months ago, and now some intend to shut it down.\nA Justice Department document from early this year describes Matrix as an effort \"to increase and enhance the exchange of sensitive terrorism and other criminal activity information between local, state and federal law enforcement agencies.\" Matrix organizers met several times with Sen. Bob Graham (D-Fla.), while he was head of the Senate Intelligence Committee, to discuss the system's development.\nMatrix is short for Multistate Anti-Terrorism Information Exchange. The name was chosen somewhat whimsically by a Florida law enforcement officer, an agency official said. Florida officials say the system will be used only by authorized investigators under tight supervision. They said it includes information that has always been available to investigators but brings it together and enables police to access it with extraordinary speed.\nTechnical challenges include ensuring that data are accurate and that the system can be updated frequently.\n\"The power of this technology -- to take seemingly isolated bits of data and tie them together to get a clear picture in seconds -- is vital to strengthening our domestic security,\" said James \"Tim\" Moore, who was commissioner of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement until last month.\nA senior official overseeing the project acknowledged it could be intrusive and pledged to use it with restraint. \"It's scary. It could be abused. I mean, I can call up everything about you, your pictures and pictures of your neighbors,\" said Phil Ramer, special agent in charge of statewide intelligence. \"Our biggest problem now is everybody who hears about it wants it.\"\nThe Matrix project began soon after the 2001 attacks. Seisint founder Hank Asher, a wealthy data entrepreneur, called Florida police and claimed he could pinpoint the hijackers and others who might pose a risk of terrorist activity. \"Asher says, 'I'll develop this for free,' \" Ramer said.\nWorking without a contract or pay, Asher set about creating the system in Florida, Ramer said. \"We showed it to the other states, and the other states went nuts.\" They came up with an idea of a search engine called \"Who\" that would be at the core of the \"concept as a national intelligence project,\" he said.\nRamer added that he's never seen so powerful a system in his many years in law enforcement. To replicate it \"we'd have to go to 10,000 systems,\" he said. \"It would just take you forever.\"\nIn 1999, the Drug Enforcement Administration and the FBI suspended information service contracts with an earlier Asher-run company because of concerns about his past, according to law enforcement sources. The Chicago Tribune reported in 1987 that court documents in a federal drug case said defense lawyer F. Lee Bailey, who identified Asher as a pilot and onetime smuggler, offered him as an informant.\nJennie Khoen, a spokeswoman for the Florida department, said yesterday that the agency knew about Asher's \"history with drug smuggling,\" including his work as an informant. Moore said his department \"knew about Mr. Asher's past.\"\n\"We were aware of his informant activity,\" Moore said. \"But we were also aware he had never been arrested or charged.\"\nBecause of the renewed questions about his past and because the state is entering into a contract for the Matrix services, Khoen said \"it is prudent and responsible for us to do a comprehensive review of his background.\"\nThe Florida legislature just allocated $1.6 million to begin paying Seisint for its work.\nAsher didn't respond to several requests for interviews.\nSeisint's Cameron said people should focus on the value of the technology for fighting terrorism and crime. He said privacy fears are overblown because Matrix relies on the same records that police have always had access to.\nAsher has also donated services to the FBI, the Secret Service and other agencies. And authorities credit Seisint with helping to turn up links among the hijackers who slammed planes into the Pentagon and the World Trade Center, and to some of their associates.\nThe Secret Service, the FBI, and the Immigration and Naturalization Service gave Asher letters of commendation last year. They are prominently displayed as awards on Seisint's Web site. Spokesmen at the FBI and the Secret Service said the letters are routinely given as thank-you notes to hotels and other companies that help their agencies.\nFormer Secret Service head Brian Stafford recently went to work as a senior executive at Seisint.",

        "raw_content": "At least 12,000 to 15,000 children are born in Bangladesh every year with thalassemia, the most common congenital disorder in a human body, and the parents who carry the abnormal genes pass it to their kids. Talking to BSS on Thursday, eminent physician Dr Apurbo Pandit quoting Bangladesh Thalassemia Samity said at least 10 percent of the country\u2019s total population carry this disease, posing a serious threat to the public health with its current trend of rise. The parents only come to know when a child is born with thalassaemia. There is a 25 percent chance of a child suffering from thalassaemia if the parents are carriers. \u201cThe carrier status of thalassaemia trait is about 10pc in Bangladesh, meaning there are about 16 million carriers, but presumably less than 1 percent of the population is aware of it,\u201d he said. Putting forward a suggestion, Dr Apurbo Pandit said blood test of both the bride and the groom before marriage and discouraging marriage between close relatives could largely protect the newborns from the wrath of thalassemia. There is a wide variation in carrier status in different regions of Bangladesh with a very high frequency among the tribal people. Also the editor of an online health journal, The amarhealth.com, Dr Pandit urged all concerned to launch a countrywide awareness drive against thalassemnia, the disease that requires regular blood transfusion resulting in excessive collection of iron in the body of the victim. \u201cThis collection of iron is toxic causing damage to the heart, liver, pancreas and pituitary gland leading to organ failure. This iron needs to be removed by drugs which are expensive. The treatment is life-long. Bone marrow transplantation is the only cure but very costly and has many complications,\u201d he observed. In Bangladesh, the infant mortality rate is rapidly decreasing due to targeted vaccination programmes, better health care and nutrition with the rise of per capita income resulting in more children attending hospital with genetic disorders like thalassaemia. As thalassaemia poses demanding challenge in terms of managing with limited resources in a country like Bangladesh, awareness, screening of carriers and prevention of births of the thalassaemic children by prenatal diagnosis are important. Experts say the role of gynaecologists and obstetricians is also important as they should advise couples to know their carrier status. Every couple in Bangladesh should be advised to have their carrier status checked before marriage or in early pregnancy. \u201cIf anyone of the couple is positive for thalassaemia, DNA analysis should be advised with the option of abortion to the parents. DNA laboratories should be set up in every division with appropriate training facilities,\u201d Dr Pandit said. Bangladesh has already started the screening programme in a limited scale, an encouraging step that would eventually help a lot to drop rapidly the births of thalassaemic children like the rest of the world. Thalassemia basically means anemia, a genetic blood disease which the child could inherit if one or both of his/her parents is carrying the disease gene. The risk is higher if both parents have this disease. Symptoms are not visible, but it can be identified through medical tests. There are various types of thalassemia, but most of the people are infected with Beta Thalassemia. Symptoms of Thalassemia are weakness, fatigue, slow growth, pale appearance, abnormal swelling, abnormal bone structure, especially in the face and skull, heart problems and iron overload. Due to phenomenal success in the control of infectious diseases in Bangladesh, child mortality has declined by 71% as compared to that observed in the 1990s. Therefore, the genetic disorders, particularly thalassemias, are likely to be a major public health concern in the country in the coming decades. According to the experts, the prime objective of a thalassemia prevention programme is to educate the common people as well as the health professionals about the concept and consequence of genetic disorders. General observation shows that health professionals are a vital source of information for a thalassemia affected family. To make an effective public awareness strategy, priority should be given to educate healthcare professionals first. Because of the young age structure of the population, thalassemia awareness focused on schools, colleges and universities had a significant impact in most developed societies and it would have the same impact in countries like Bangladesh.

        "raw_content": "I don\u2019t consider any of these spiritual inclinations to be religious in nature and have not identified with any religious system in my adult life. I grew up in a religious family\u2026 it just didn\u2019t take. I didn\u2019t make some statement about it either (at the time)\u2026 I simply moved on to other subjects that interested me more\u2026 like evolutionary theory and Kung Fu.\nIn all seriousness, my journey into the land of awe and wonder began when I was introduced to Bruce Lee and Richard Dawkins in my early 20s. Epiphanies took on a devotional quality and I sought them out in all areas of study: science, art, friendship, romance, etc. I read voraciously then as now, and spent a lot of my personal time exploring artistic mediums of self-expression, from writing to performance art. I have never felt at a loss for meaning or purpose or looked beyond myself for these.\nBy the time I was 25, I was practicing Yoga nearly every day. I simply can not say why it became such an abiding interest. Any attempt would be a rationalization rather than a reason. I just\u2026. LOVE it. One of the main reasons Yoga has stuck with me for so long is that at no point in my experience with the teachings has faith ever been required for me to progress. Do the work and progress is made. No mediums, no special talents, no belief without evidence. Just do the work with curiousity and intention.\nI credit much of my clarity in practice to my training with Tony, my capital \u2018T\u2019 Teacher. Tony is the least confused person I have ever met. I have never been able to manipulate him for approval and he has never asked me to replace my own wisdom with his. He is also the only person\u2026 ever\u2026 to render me silent. He answers EVERY one of my questions clearly and without appeal to authority or Authority. Even, or even especially, when the answer is \u201cI don\u2019t know, kiddo.\u201d\nThe teachings come through teachers\u2026 not systems. Much of what we gather about Yoga, or any other system, is predicated on having a teacher, and quality matters. One of my inspirations at the moment, Vanda Scaravelli, said, \u201cThere are no good students. Only good teachers.\u201d I believe it because I mirror one of the finest teachers on the planet and enjoy the results in every conscious moment. I was never a good student, but I chose my Teacher wisely.\nAnd by no means am I done with the process. The work continues\u2026 and it is more than enough for me. It was never not enough.\n\u201cIf you have any image of what the Truth is, slay it immediately because that's not It. We must leave the entire collection of conditioned thought behind and let ourselves be led by the inner thread of silence into the unknown, beyond where all paths end, to that place where we go innocently or not at all, not once but continually.\u201d ~Adyashanti\nTo view my latest Youtube vid, \"When the work becomes play...\" click here.",

        "raw_content": "Posted on 06 May 2015 by Chris James\nIf, like me, you\u2019re a true sports fan, then you\u2019ll be pleased to know that my review is basically like a match report. It\u2019s going to tell you all you need to know about The King's Game and will make it easier to determine whether or not it\u2019s a sure thing, a slow starter or even a non-runner? I\u2019ve put in a lot of time researching The King's Game, trying to find out as much as I can, so that I save you time from having to do it, which I\u2019m sure you\u2019re very grateful for. Despite the fact that I haven\u2019t used it yet, the investigation I\u2019ve done has ensured I\u2019m as familiar with it as the back of my hand; soon you\u2019re going to be too. However, before you jump the gun, I must tell you this is data that I\u2019ve spent a decent amount of time looking into and putting together for you, (to the exasperation of my wife), so that you don\u2019t end up buying the wrong thing and as yet, I haven\u2019t had the opportunity to try out it for myself. So, I hear you ask, what\u2019s included in this assessment? To put it briefly, all you should wish to know about The King's Game. In great detail, I include a number of ratings that the product\u2019s received, as well as price, where you can buy it and essential info regarding the seller too. I\u2019ve also done research on the seller\u2019s additional items and deals and at the end of my review will give you my very own score for The King's Game too. All of the details I include will allow you to make your buying decision, so I can assure you that if I think a product\u2019s a clear winner or a false starter, I\u2019ll let you know. One thing I\u2019ve got to tell you about just before you read any more is that if you do decide to purchase The King's Game, I could possibly earn a commission. So, if you want to get the ball rolling and find out more about me personally and how this all works, you can click here\nProduct Name The King's Game\nWebsite http://www.thekingsgame.com/s pecial/vsl44/\nI\u2019m hopeful that my review\u2019s going to help you decide whether The King's Game will be worth your hard earned cash. Really, all that you should know is that your cash isn\u2019t going to get wasted. I realize this, so make every effort to detail all the benefits and drawbacks that will make your final decision a lot easier to make. So to help you make your mind up about it, I\u2019ll explain to you the sales figures, including refund details and all the other items the vendor is selling. So, if you still want to play ball \u2013 let\u2019s get cracking with the review itself.\nRight, so you probably want to know how I rank the items I review. Well to begin with I can assure you that I do so in a sportsmanlike manner and take all available information into consideration, with the most obvious being sales numbers. There\u2019s no guess work involved here as I\u2019m able to see the product sales figures from the payment processor who handles all the transactions for the vendor. This specific payment processor uses something called Gravity to position products on how well they\u2019re selling, with each product being given a score between 0 and 1000, or higher. In the case of The King's Game, it has received a Gravity score of 8.02383. I prefer my own ranking system because Gravity can usually get quite confusing simply because scores can be so disproportionate. My system rates products between 0 and 100 and achieves this by comparing the product under consideration to all the others on my site. My ranking system is weighted and out of 100, which means that anyone will be able to see quickly if a product\u2019s a high flyer or a bottom feeder. I\u2019ve scored The King's Game 0.46/100. This is not a great rating \u2013 when compared to the other products on this web web site, it has not been selling well in any way.\nMoving on, I now want to focus on informing you about the merchant. This will include informing you about the other products they are selling, as well as giving you some insight into how many refunds they\u2019ve had. The Overall Refund rate takes into account every one of the merchant\u2019s products, not just The King's Game, so remember this when it comes to the ranking itself. You\u2019ll see the ranking is based upon a score between 1 and 5, with 5 being the best and marginal refunds and 3 being the worst, with the most returns. If a product happens to score a 3, it\u2019s most likely that it\u2019s brand new to market so there is simply not much data out there. The King's Game has scored 3. This means the overall refund rate is really reasonable and definitely nothing to concern yourself with.\nI\u2019m now going to talk to you about the actual website where you can buy this system from, thekingsgame.com. It\u2019s important, when searching for any product you can purchase on the web, to examine the web site so that you can evaluate how long it\u2019s been around, how reliable it is and how much of an authority in its particular specific niche market, it is. The more you can find out about thekingsgame.com, the better as it will give you great insight into whether or not you should risk buying The King's Game. So, for starters \u2013 how many pages does thekingsgame.com have? Well, I\u2019ve counted and it has 42, this is an OK number of pages and gives the impression that the website\u2019s on its way to being well-known. Now, it\u2019s time for us to look at back-links, which are links from other sites back to this one. These are typically useful because they help us work out how much authority a web site has in its specific niche. This technique is, in a way, kind of similar to how a footballing club chooses its coach \u2013 after all who would select a novice; nobody. You\u2019d never choose somebody that hasn\u2019t won any medals and isn\u2019t a guru. However, these have to be quality links \u2013 coming from websites that are an authority in their own right and not spamming web-sites. You don\u2019t want to see tons of links coming from the same blog, even if the owner is sports mad. Instead you want to see lots of links originating from well-established, trusted and relevant web-sites. Taking a look at thekingsgame.com, we can see that they have 10. This gives it an authority rating of 54.17/100. This is an OK score, as it isn\u2019t really that high but it isn\u2019t way too low either \u2013 you most likely need to weigh this score up with everything else. One thing that playing and watching sport has taught me is that you can never know too much about your competitors. Exactly the same thing applies when you are buying anything. It\u2019s always a decent idea to check out the product owner; fortunately, I\u2019ve done lots of this for you. When it comes to this product owner, we can take a look at their domain registration details. As an example, I can tell you that it was registered under Identity Protection Service. If you\u2019d like more details about this registration, please click the link.\nWhat further products is this retailer selling?. There\u2019s currently 0 additional product on sale from this merchant. There\u2019s no harm in checking out the additional product. In any case, there\u2019s no pressure to buy and it also helps you figure out what kind of merchant they are too.\nIf, like me, you are sick and tired having to scour the internet looking for fab products, then you\u2019ll be pleased to know that you only have to go to one place. You won\u2019t find these products anywhere else offline or on the internet, as all of them are sold from the web site, thekingsgame.com. If, by chance, you\u2019re unable to locate something you want on the web site, be sure to check your junk mail or even just your inbox for emails that contain product or special links. You can also just click on any of the product links I\u2019ve included in this evaluation and you\u2019ll be taken straight through to the appropriate product page.\nI mentioned at the very start of this assessment, that it\u2019s feasible for me to obtain a commission in return for you choosing to buy a product after clicking one my links. This is great for me but what do you get? Well, I\u2019ve made a decision to thank you in my own special way through the channel of a special bonus.

        "raw_content": "sales Apr. 6, 2017\nThe Lawn-Care Salesman Who Runs From Door to Door\nAs told to Alexa Tsoulis-Reay\nPhoto: Serenethos/Getty Images\nCarlos Rodriguez, 22\nThere are lots of pretty lawns in Wheeling. My job is to canvass the neighborhood and get people to agree to a lawn-care estimate for the company I work for: Weed Man Lawn Care. I have to get people\u2019s names, numbers, and signatures on my tablet at the door. Later, the sales team calls them and tells them how much it will cost based on satellite imaging. I have the top amount of sales for our office. As a whole team, we\u2019re doing pretty good out here, with over $165K.\nThere\u2019s about six of us and we all travel in a van together. We all have nicknames \u2014 well, I give them nicknames. There is Jake the Stormtrooper; Chris the Crab; Marvin the Mexican Lad; Canonaco, and then there\u2019s the two new rave kids that we don\u2019t know what to call yet, and occasionally we have \u201cThe Steve.\u201d My bosses are Jake and Scott. We are like The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.\nOur commission is based on all the sales at the end of the year, and it\u2019s about $5 per sale. We get paid $12.50 an hour and overtime because we work weekends. I want to get 200 sales \u2014 I will get the commission at Christmastime. My first New Year\u2019s resolution ever was this year and I said, I want to be a man who knows how to save money. I live with my mom and I give her some money every paycheck. This is the wealthiest I\u2019ve ever been \u2014 I feel like a celebrity.\nI\u2019m full-time from 12 to 8 p.m. And that\u2019s all door-knocking except for a 45-minute lunch break. I\u2019m taking some classes at community college. So I get out of school and head straight to work. I go to the office where we all get dressed in these silly Weed Man outfits that are green and yellow and say \u201cWeed Man\u201d on your chest in big letters. Then I take a seat and wait for my instructions. Our managers always tell us either \u201cyou had a great day yesterday\u201d or \u201cyour numbers are low, you need to step it up.\u201d They go round the room and ask each person to say their script and then the bosses will \u201crole play\u201d an objection and we have to come back with a rebuttal. I like to think outside the box, so I do not stick to the script completely. Here\u2019s my pitch:\nKnock-knock. Hello ma\u2019am, how are you doing today? My name is Carlos Rodriguez with Weed Man Lawn Care, registered with the village. We\u2019re providing all your neighbors with free lawn-care estimates. Just wanted to make sure you got yours as well, ma\u2019am. Just to confirm this is 123 New Zealand St. And to whom I am speaking? Okay, Alexa. We don\u2019t send anyone here to measure the front or back lawn. It\u2019s all done by satellite. So when that\u2019s complete, what would be the best number to provide you with the estimate? I\u2019m going to read you one last thing to clarify the free quote. It says right here, \u201cDear homeowner, thank you for the opportunity to provide you a free no-obligation quotation for lawn-care services.\u201d The final step, it says \u201cfree lawn-care quote, I authorize Weed Man to call me.\u201d This is just for permission purposes to legally give you the free lawn-care quote.\nSome people do tweak out giving us their signature but my script reduces the fear. We don\u2019t mention all our ingredients because we have the top-notch ingredients and we don\u2019t want other companies to get hold of them, but they are natural and the closest thing to organic. We just haven\u2019t bought the organic label. I would never say: Would you like this? That\u2019s an invitation for people to say no. But deep down many people are just a little bit interested in it so you\u2019ve got to capitalize on that. A lot of people are not familiar with Weed Man and a lot of people are not a fan of people knocking on their door. I would prefer that they become a fan of seeing me at the door.\nOur supervisor assigns us the street. He\u2019ll say, you get Fourth Ave. and there are 40 houses for you. We use tablets to feed the numbers back to the office. You click on the house numbers and you start knocking from top to bottom and every time you talk to someone you hit a green check. If they tell you no, or it\u2019s no answer, you hit the red check and select: no answer, no homeowner, not interested, or uses other company.\nI don\u2019t like my numbers looking bad and having to hit the red cross, but when I get a two-lead streak it makes my yes percentage go up, which is pretty great. I have a 32.6 percent yes percentage which is nearly one person in every three that is giving me a yes. We are supposed to get one out of every four, but lots have only every five or six. If the day isn\u2019t going great, the supervisor might ask if he needs to walk with you, but they understand if you\u2019re having a bad night. He\u2019ll ask if you need some support and walk alongside you and help you, or if you need a drink or some advice or whatever.\nWhen I ring the doorbell I watch to see who is approaching through the windows. I always have a smile on my face but I will change the way I act based on who I see. If it\u2019s an old stern white man, I don\u2019t give him a bubbly personality, I give him the pure business talk. Most of the people I encounter are old, stern people. The young people, who knows what they\u2019re doing \u2014 maybe they\u2019re out partying? When I encounter them I give them a bubbly personality and they tend to love me. I speak more gently and sweet to older women. I like working in lower-middle-class areas [where there] are families and the neighborhoods are bonded and united; I can have a really good time out there.\nOne way to turn a bad day around is to \u2018storm\u2019 from door to door. Jake the Stormtrooper introduced me to that tactic. That\u2019s actually why I call him that. Last year, he was kicking my butt. I was like how is he getting so much success? So I watched him and I saw him running. It was snowing that particular day so he looked exactly like a stormtrooper. I thought, I need to start stormtrooping! That\u2019s when it all began. Now I run, and I tell my mind that I am doing a combative sport and I\u2019m coaching myself, saying, keep pushing. Recently, I decided to use a \u2018police-style\u2019 door knock on the door and that tends to work! I will BANG BANG BANG with a simple knock. Not ferocious, but a stern \u201cthis means business\u201d knock. Not barbaric! And after a stern knock they open the door and are like, \u201cOh, Weed Man!\u201d\nThe weirdest thing I have seen at a door was when I went to a house with all these Native American things around the house. They had trees with carvings of, like, a bear or a moose or something. I ring the doorbell and out comes what looks like a grizzly bear. It\u2019s on four legs. It was a man in a bear costume and he sat there perched on his knees and arms and he just looked at me. I was waving at him like, hello? And he didn\u2019t move. So I got out a flyer, and said, \u201cI got this flyer for you sir, you have a good day\u201d and I put it on his door and moved on.\nAs you keep doing the job and getting paid really well, approaching people\u2019s doors just isn\u2019t scary any more, and even if you get a bad response from someone I just think: Who cares? Some people will be like \u201cOh, hey, the Weed Man!\u201d Usually those people will ask me if I\u2019m selling the actual plant itself and I say, \u201cNo, I\u2019ll give you something a little less exciting but still exciting because it\u2019s free, it\u2019s a free lawn-care estimate!\u201d And they\u2019ll be laughing, and they\u2019ll be like, \u201cOkay, so give me a free lawn-care estimate, Weed Man!\u201d When I meet people like that I\u2019ll tell them, \u201cWow, you\u2019re one of the nicest guys I\u2019ve met in this neighborhood,\u201d and they\u2019re like, \u201cHeck, yeah!\u201d And it\u2019s like a little party, a very small party!

        "raw_content": "Can Arsenio Hall Succeed In New Talk Show After Celebrity Apprentice Win?\nMay 22, 2012 Mark Ryabtsev Entertainment, News, Pop Culture 0\nSunday night on Donald Trump\u2019s \u201cCelebrity Apprentice,\u201d Arsenio Hall was victorious over pop star Clay Aiken.\nTo win, Hall showed his ability to promote his charity of choice, the Magic Johnson Foundation, via a charity event, a PSA for the charity, and a raising of funds. Aiken out performed Hall in terms of money gained, but Trump was more impressed with Hall\u2019s tactics.\nWith winning, Hall brought in not only the amount of money he raised at his charity event, ($167,100) but also another $250,000 for winning the \u201cCelebrity Apprentice\u201d to the Magic Johnson Foundation.\nAfter Hall is done promoting the show, which will require a great deal of travel that might be an issue due to the entertainer\u2019s openness about his fear of flying, he has his eyes set on something much bigger than a reality show.\nHall made it clear that he is interested in returning to late night with a new talk show.\n5 and 1,248.\n5 is the number of years of experience Hall has as a talk show host from 1989 to 1994. 1,248 is the number of episodes (and hours) of experience Hall has in his old show. For those old enough to remember (or with the 2 minutes to Google it) Arsenio Hall hosted The Arsenio Hall Show for half of a decade. In addition, Hall was the host of FOX\u2019s The Late Show for about 4 months in 1987.\nHall\u2019s show, distributed by CBS, was the center of pop culture. His guests included some of the biggest names of the day. Memorable guests include MC Hammer, Bill Clinton, Eddie Murphy, Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, Whitney Houston, Michael Jordan, Madonna, and Michael Jackson.\nSince the cancellation of his show in May of 1994, Hall has worked on TV, a few films, and has been regularly involved in radio shows. But now, with his newfound resurgence in fame, Hall is coming very close to returning to late night.\nTMZ reports that Hall is already speaking with NBC and a pair of other networks to put together a return to the talk show world. With the late night lineup currently packed, it is possible Hall might have to settle for a daytime slot.\nBut can Arsenio Hall connect with today\u2019s audience?\nWithout a doubt at first the ratings would be high as fans would be excited to see Hall\u2019s return and to see the quality of his monologues and what guests he would have on. He will likely be able to bring on his old friends such as MC Hammer, Magic Johnson, and Eddie Murphy. But based on his previous guest list of the biggest names in pop culture, will Hall be able to relate to today\u2019s top stars?\nOf course Hall will be able to interview and get along with his guests, but will he need to update his style from two decades ago?\nProbably so. Hall will need to bring his style up to date to be able to set himself apart from Letterman, Leno, and Kimmel. He will need to shake things up a bit to bring entertaining interviews with entertainers like Lil Wayne, Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, Drake, and other pop culture figures from the acting world, sports world, politics, and more.\nIf he ends up with a night time slot, he will not only need to prove he still is relevant and exciting, but that he is equally or more entertaining than Letterman, Leno, and Kimmel.\nArsenio Hall is riding a wave of popularity after winning the \u201cCelebrity Apprentice.\u201d Fans have very fond memories of The Arsenio Hall Show from the early 1990\u2019s. But can a show that was at its height twenty years ago still succeed today?\nArsenio Hall New Show\nArsenio Hall Wants New Talk Show\nArsenio Hall Wins Celebrity Apprentice\nCan Arsenio Hall Succeed With New Talk Show\nNetworks Wants Arsenio Hall\nNew Show for Arsenio Hall",

In 1992 he was accepted to the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague under professor Zden\u011bk Beran and graduated in 1999. Most of his exhibitions since then have been in Prague, including venues such as the Liechtenstein Palace, town hall and the Rudolfinum but also the cities of Brno, Hradec Kr\u00e1lov\u00e9 and at the Czech Centre in New York City. Many of his paintings have grotesque or sadomasochist themes, and he often portrays feelings of anxiety. via\nPosted by Khaos[] at 22:14 , 6 comments\nOlaf Martens is interested in staging his pictures like a theatre play. In his often humorously constructed images, Martens combines a take on fashion, documentary, conceptual, social, even animal photography, art historical and socio-political references. His work cannot be categorised but is a combination of what can be termed a kind of post - modern eclecticism. Marten's view of the feminine takes on a very particular, interesting turn in his work and is the central theme around which all else revolves.\nMartens undermines the seemingly homogenous facade of the photographic. His works is characterised by uniting contrary details, and refiguring them in a very unique and hybrid manner. This leaves many questions to the viewer, not apparent on first glance.\nThe theme of the outside and the outsider has been a recurring theme in Marten's work from the very beginning. His images are most often taken in dis-used factories, the outskirts of cities, and in new and up-coming cities like Russia, Czechoslovakia, Turkey and East Germany.\nSimilar to David Lynch's imagery, Martens uses recurring roles and types usually those of outsiders to society. Cleaning women, dwarfs, seamstresses, overly fat women, strippers, dancers, transvestites are of particular fascination to him. They inhabit the opposite end of the spectrum and Martens ironically combines them with seemingly flawless models. Yet, here the model appears in latex, gas masks, workers' outfits and high heels, adding another hybrid layer to his work.\nOlaf Martens studied photography at the highly renowned Leipzig Academy for \"Graphik und Buchkunst\". His contemporaries are the well-known \"Leipzig School\" with artists such as Neo Rauch, Tim Eitel or Tilo Baumgartel. His work has been exhibited in many museum group exhibitions on contemporary German photography as well as in solo exhibitions at the Kunst Museum, Bonn, Grassi Museum, Leipzig, Moscow House of photography, Leopold Museum, Vienna, German Historical Museum in Berlin, Deichtorhallen, Hamburg. He has exhibited in galleries nationally and internationally. His work is included in collections such as the FC Gundlach Collection and the Sammlung Goetz, Munich. via\npics after the click are NSFW\nSUKA OFF is a Poland based artist collective existing since 1995.

        "raw_content": "Kevin Hawkes writes, \u201cGrowing up, I never thought I\u2019d be an artist, I just loved to draw and paint. I drew just about everything I could think of: ships, castles, racecars, monsters and sharks. Art class was my favorite. When I was five, my family lived in central France and many of my childhood memories seem to find their way into my work: cobblestone streets, marshes and woods, grassy hills and Mediterranean skies.\nOUR WHITE HOUSE. Illustration \u00a9 2008 by Kevin Hawkes. Reproduced by permission of the publisher, Candlewick Press, Somerville, MA.\n\u201cMy mother and father loved books. Mom was always reading bedtime stories and Dad entertained us (often from the driver\u2019s seat of a white rambler station wagon) with stories of dragons and giants. Some of my favorite books are James and the Giant Peach, The Chronicles of Narnia, The Secret Garden, and all of the Freddy the Pig books.\n\u201cIn college I signed up for history and science. I took a few art classes too but nothing seemed to grab my attention. Then a friend suggested I take an illustration course. When I saw the art of N.C. Wyeth, Howard Pyle, Maxfield Parrish and many other great illustrators, I knew I was hooked. Although my work is often described as off-beat and quirky, I also have a love for traditional painting. Some of my favorite artists are Vermeer, Bouguereau, Caravaggio, and Sargent.\n\u201cAfter college, my first art job was working as an assistant animator producing cartoons for Saturday-morning television. I was horrible! I had my own style and could never make it work with those cartoon characters. After three months I got a new job as a photographic retoucher. It was a good job because I learned how to do fine details in a realistic way. When my wife, Karen and I moved to Boston, I ended up in a bookstore working in the children\u2019s section. For two years I read picture books on every lunch break, studying the artwork. I began to get an idea of what books were really out there and in the evenings I started developing my own style of work. One day, with a portfolio filled with my favorite pieces, I set off on a train to New York to see a publisher about doing my own books. After a few tries, I got the contract for my first book, Then the Troll Heard the Squeak (HarperCollins), and have been illustrating picture books ever since. Now I keep busy doing picture books, chapter books, book jackets, and various art-related projects. When I get the chance I enjoy landscape painting, especially at Acadia National Park. I also like to putter in my garden, and go hiking and camping with my wife and children.\nI love to visit children in schools and to share my books with them. I once gave a presentation to a group of kindergarten children. Just before a reading of Lady Bugatti (HarperCollins), one little boy in the front row blurted out, \u201cThis looks like a weird book, but I think I\u2019m ready for it!\u201d I enjoy creating books, especially new worlds for children to explore.\nLearn more KevinHawkes.com.\nMore Books by Kevin Hawkes\nA Pig Parade Is a Terrible Idea, written by Michael Ian Black (Simon & Schuster)\nMeanwhile, Back at the Ranch, written by Anne Isaacs (Schwartz & Wade)\nChicken Cheeks, written by Michael Ian Black (Simon & Schuster)\nThe Road to Oz: Twists, Turns, Bumps and Triumphs in the Life of L.

        "raw_content": "I get the lab results detailing exactly how toxic I am.\nAlmost a month ago, I was tested for several types of environmental toxins: Pesticides and heavy metals. This morning I got the results.\nThe doctor in charge of all this is Walter Crinnion, who teaches at the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine. He is probably the foremost authority on environmental medicine in the world. I am actually seeing his students, as the clinic I go to is the student clinic of SCNM. However, today was my second visit and both times I got to see Dr. Crinnion in person.\nMy husband, Michael, is also a student at SCNM. He is just starting his third quarter, and is assigned to the clinic on Mondays. His shift started at 8 am, and my appointment was 8:30 am; so I brought him to the clinic and then waited to be seen.\nIt being a new quarter, there's a new crop of students. Normally that doesn't matter, as my charts would carry on. However, my main charts had been misplaced, possibly because I had switched to Dr. Crinnion from another doctor at the clinic. In any case, since my part of the paperwork (my residential and exposure history, and list of complaints) were all here in my blog, I was able to locate them and the new docs, a guy named John and a woman named Hadassah, could print them out.\nFortunately, my lab results were not missing.\nTo understand them, though, requires a brief trip to the year 1874, where in Strasburg, Austria, a young chemical student named Othmar Zeidler performed an experiment that produced a new chemical which he recorded in his notes as dichlorodiphenyl trichloroethane. But he saw no use for it, and the formula lay dormant in the records of the Chemical Society for sixty-five years.\nIn 1939 Swiss farmers were bothered with an unusual number of insects and since there was a great shortage of the usual insecticides the Geigy Chemical Company of Switzerland began to look around for substitutes. One of their young chemists, Paul Mueller, resurrected Zeidler's old formula and tried out some of the dichlorodiphenyl trichloroethane, abbreviated D.D.T.\nNow, there's a lot of unanswered questions at this point. Did Mueller go through every useless chemical, trying them all as insecticides? If not, what made him guess that DDT would have that effect? In any case, the new substance showed amazing promise. It was instantly lethal to all insects\u2014not just the ones attacking Swiss crops, but flies, lice, and mosquitoes. And when the war broke out, and soldiers began dying of malaria more than from bullets, DDT was rushed into mass production and used as a miracle cure for the \"scourge of insects\".\nPaul Mueller won the Nobel Prize in 1948 for his discovery\u2014not of DDT, but of its use as an insecticide.\nDDT works by opening sodium ion channels in neurons, causing them to fire spontaneously, which leads to spasms and the eventual death of any insect encountering this molecule, whose effects are intense and long-lasting. Very long lasting: DDT molecules resist degrading; they maintain their integrity for a very long time; and even then, when they do degrade, it is into the form Dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene, or DDE.\nWhat people of the 1940s didn't realize, is that anything that kills insects can't be good for other species. And of special significance are compounds that are not biodegradable, such as DDT. By the late 1950s, some environmentally-aware scientists began to notice that something was changing: In the previous twenty years, eggshells were becoming more brittle, resulting in fewer baby birds being hatched. Not just those of chickens, but of all birds, causing an unexplained endangering of entire species, such as the bald eagle. Naturalist Rachel Carson reported meticulously gathered data on this phenomenon, finding a link between the widespread spraying of DDT and the reduced numbers of birds in her 1962 book Silent Spring.\nCarson was violently assailed by threats of lawsuits and derision, including suggestions that this meticulous scientist was a \"hysterical woman\" unqualified to write such a book. A huge counterattack was organized and led by Monsanto Company, Velsicol, American Cyanamid \u2014 indeed, the whole chemical industry \u2014 duly supported by the Agriculture Department as well as the more cautious in the media.\nIt can be argued that DDT had the immediate, beneficial effect of saving perhaps hundreds of millions of lives from being lost to malaria by killing the mosquitoes that spread it. However, a common insect mutation would eventually have left us with a mosquito population immune to DDT. And because this chemical is so pervasive and long-lasting, it's unchecked use would have eventually destroyed the bird populations that are the mosquito's natural predators. Eventually, malaria would have bounced back, worse than ever.\nDespite the worst efforts of the chemical industry however, in 1972 DDT use was banned in the United States.\nBut in the 1960s, it was being spewed from the backs of mosquito control trucks in places like Florida, where I lived, and where kids like me thought it was fun to run behind the trucks and inhale the fumes.\nWhen DDT does break down, it becomes DDE. DDE is a fat soluble molecule; it is also toxic in its own right. Because it is fat soluble it finds its way into our body stores of fat, where it simply stays. Mother's milk is a fatty substance, of course; mothers with a toxic burden of DDE pass it on to their nursing babies. But unless something heroic is done, it tends to remain in the body, just as it persists in the environment.\nAccording to my lab results, I carry a significant load of DDE, as revealed by gas chromatography and mass spectrography of lipids (fats) contained in the blood sample they took from me.\nIn addition to contributing to body fat directly (the body fills in adipose tissue with fat specifically as a go-to place for fat-soluble toxins), DDE is associated with diabetes and low-testosterone, both of which conditions I have. I don't have Alzheimer's (I think!) but that is also a condition associated with DDE. I don't have Alzheimer's (I think!) but that is also a condition associated with DDE.\nAnother pesticide, that was banned in 1983, is Chlordane. It was used primarily on crops, but also was used against termites by tenting houses and filling them with Chlordane gas. And in 1973, I worked as a pest control technician. Although I didn't personally tent houses, the office from which I worked was used to store the tents; and the guys who did tent came in and hung around, still wearing the uniforms they'd worn while working with the pesticide.\nA breakdown chemical of Chlordane is trans-Nonaclor. I also carry a significant amount of that.\nI predicted that I was going to be oozing every heavy metal in the heavy metal test, but actually I wasn't that bad. Of significance were:\nCadmium, probably accumulated from the shrimp I love to eat.\nLead, probably from the lead water pipes in our old house in Vermont when I was a kid, plus the fumes of all those leaded gasoline engines on the road before 1978.\nMercury, from the kids' toys I played with in the 1950s and early 1960s. We used to break the toys apart to play with the mercury drops within. Plus, I have had a lot of mercury fillings in my teeth.\nUranium, which as an amount didn't seem to cause so much concern but I have no idea where or when I was exposed to any.\nSo, how do we get rid of this stuff?\nNot all at once, to be sure. I've had nearly six decades to accumulate these toxins and they won't disappear overnight.\nOne of the body's primary methods of detoxing itself is a substance called glutathione. To understand what it does, you have to know what a \"free radical\" is.\nBasically, a free radical is a type of toxin. It is an atom with a missing electron (another name for this is \"positive ion\") that roams the body, stealing electrons from any place it can, thus turning healthy cells into slightly defective cells, and even damaging our DNA. The word for this is \"oxidation\". The antidote to free radicals are thus antioxidants, which are big in the news (and on food labels) these days.\nGlutathione is the most powerful, super-duper antioxidant there is.\nBut the act of scooping up a free radical destroys a molecule of glutathione. Fortunately, we can make our own. Any cell in the body can create glutathione. However, the liver produces most of it.\nWhat can happen though, and may have happened in my case, is that a serious toxic burden can both impede the liver from producing enough glutathione, and also of course neutralize what is made. Moreover, glutathione cannot be taken as a supplement; studies have investigated this but the glutathione is simply digested and broken down into its component amino acids.\nSo, what I was told to do was to take supplements that would boost my liver's ability to create glutathione, and others that would help usher out any loosened toxins.\nI also gave another blood sample, from which to obtain a \"baseline\" reading of my glutathione levels. I'm not sure how baseline it will be, really, since I've been taking glutathione-boosting supplements for a month now. But we did it, anyway.\nAnd then I picked up, from the clinic's medicinary, the supplements aimed specifically at the toxins and metals I tested high in.\nClean Phase CGL-Detox, a daily fiber supplement to support elimination of persistent toxins. I am to take a tablespoon of this stuff in a small cup of water before each meal. That's probably not going to happen with lunch, but before breakfast and dinner is easy. (The label says 1-3 times a day, so skipping lunch should be okay.) I've had my first dose, and it doesn't taste bad\u2014faintly of cinnamon, which is one of its ingredients.\nGreen Phase CGL-Detox, which promotes the production of glutathione and the scavenging of fat-soluble toxins. The ingredients of this include turmeric, milk thistle, and broccoli, all of which I was taking already; but also several other herbs. I take three capsules about an hour after dinner.\nLean Phase CGL-Detox, which helps to to properly metabolize dietary fats. This is one capsule with each meal.\nNAC, also known as N-acetyl-L-cysteine, a naturally-occurring substance that is a powerful supporter of the liver production of glutathione.\nInterestingly, nothing was said\u2014yet\u2014about intravenous or hydrocolonic treatments. But my instructions did say to follow the nutritional advice from Dr. Crinnion's book, which means I may have to cut out those mini-churros I've been getting from Jack-In-The-Box every morning.\nBut\u2026we'll see.",

        "raw_content": "Hsin-Hsiao Wang, MD, MPH; Jonathan Routh, MD, MPH; Richard Lee, MD\nMax Wilms\u2019 description of a solid kidney tumor of triphasic pathology was first published in 1899.[1] At the time, the pathological entity which would eventually come to be known as Wilms\u2019 tumor (WT) was a near-universally lethal disease, despite aggressive surgical and chemotherapeutic interventions.\nLuckily, however, the world of pediatric renal tumors has dramatically changed since that time. Beginning in the 1960s and 1970s, cooperative multi-institutional and international trials such as the National Wilms\u2019 Tumor Study Group (NWTSG), the Children\u2019s Oncology Group (COG), the United Kingdom Children\u2019s Cancer Study Group (UKCCSG), and the Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Internationale d\u2019Oncologie P\u00e9diatrique (SIOP), among others, began to coordinate the care and study of children with renal tumors. Currently, the overall five-year survival rates for WT are roughly 90 percent in the most recent trials of NWTS/COG and SIOP groups.[2-4]\nWT is the most common solid renal malignancy in children with an annual incidence rate of approximately 7 to 10 cases per million for children younger than 15 years; tumors occur in approximately 500 children per year in the United States.[5-8] More than three-quarters of WT cases are diagnosed before age 5 with median age at 3.5 years. WT is seen slightly more in females than males. There are racial/ethnic differences in the development of WT; for example, African-Americans are at a slightly higher risk of developing WT, whereas Asian-Americans are found to have a lower risk of WT compared with Caucasians.[7, 9] Bilateral WT are diagnosed at an earlier age than unilateral tumors, typically at a mean of 2.5 years.[7, 10]\nMulti-disciplinary management of WT has revolutionized disease outcomes, although at an associated higher cost. This translates into worse outcomes in developing countries, where factors such as an inability to afford chemotherapy or proper follow-up may lessen survival rates.[11, 12] The total chemotherapy-related costs have been estimated at approximately USD 1,500 to 4,500 in a previous NWTSG report.[13] Follow-up imaging costs have also been reported to be substantial.[14] Efforts to develop more cost-effective protocols without sacrificing patient survival are under investigation.[13, 15-17]\nEtiology/Biology\nThe classic triphasic WT histologic pattern includes blastemal cells, stromal cells, and epithelial cells. Blastemal cells, frequently referred to as \u201csmall round blue cells,\u201d are undifferentiated cells characterized by a tightly packed pattern with basophilia and high nuclear-to-cytoplasmic ratio. Stromal cells are most commonly observed as immature smooth and skeletal muscle, osseous, adipose, or cartilaginous cells. Epithelial cells frequently form tubular, glomerular, or papillary structures.[18] The diagnosis of WT is complicated by the fact that there may only be one or two of the cell types found instead of the classic triphasic appearance.[19]\nAnaplasia, defined as large nuclear diameter, hyperchromatism, and abnormal mitotic figures,[20] is defined as an unfavorable histologic (UH) feature; anaplasia has an approximate 5% incidence across NWTS and SIOP. Since it was first described, anaplasia has been consistently associated with a poor prognosis \u2013 specifically, with a significantly higher rate of death and tumor recurrence.[21-23] Anaplasia is further categorized as a focal or diffuse pattern, with the latter found to be associated with an even worse prognosis[22]. In the absence of anaplasia, other WT histology types are categorized as favorable histology (FH).\nIn FH WT, differentiated epithelial-predominant cell type was found to be associated with earlier stage but poor chemotherapy response; on the contrary, diffuse blastemal pattern was highly aggressive with a good response to chemotherapy. Whether the predominant cell type plays an important role in FH WT prognosis with modern WT treatment strategies has been disputed, with some data suggesting equivalent outcomes,[24] while other reports suggest that epithelial- or blastemal-predominant tumors may have a worse event-free survival rate.[25] In anaplastic WT, blastemal cell predominance has been identified to be an independent predictor for poor outcomes.[26]\nNephrogenic rests (NR) are precursor lesions to WT that are found in more than a third of resected WT.[27, 28] Most NR does not progress into WT cells as they are incidentally identified in around 1% of infant autopsy studies.[29] Distinguishing between hyperplastic NRs and WT can be challenging.[29] WT can present with a pseudocapsule composed of compressed atrophic renal tissue adjacent to normal renal parenchyma. NR can be further categorized into perilobar nephrogenic rests (PLNRs) and intralobar nephrogenic rests (ILNRs). ILNRs are associated with WT1 related condition such as aniridia, WAGR, and Deny-Drash syndrome. PLNRs are seen in patients with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome related to the 11p15 locus.\nNRs tend to occur bilaterally.[27] WT patients with NR, especially PLNRs, should have frequent and regular surveillance of their contralateral kidney due to an increased risk for metachronous tumor development.[15, 30] Diffuse hyperplastic perilobar nephrogenic rests are associated with a higher risk of developing WT and with an increased incidence of anaplasia.[31]\nLike other pediatric malignancies, the genetic components of WT development are the subject of extensive research inquiry, including associated syndromes. One of the first genetic alterations associated with WT identified was WT1(located at 11p13) deletion in patients with WAGR syndrome - a rare syndrome with features of WT, aniridia, genitourinary abnormalities, and mental retardation.[32] PAX6 gene (highly associated with aniridia) is adjacent to WT1 gene; higher WT rates in aniridia patients with deletion of both WT1 and PAX6 have been reported.[33] Interestingly, further research has revealed that WT1 plays an essential role in differentiating genitourinary tissue[34-36].\nUnlike WAGR syndrome, which is commonly associated with WT1 deletion, children with Denys-Drash syndrome (male pseudohermaphroditism, renal mesangial sclerosis, and nephroblastoma) have WT1 missense mutation.[37, 38] WAGR syndrome and Denys-Drash syndrome patients were found to have higher risk of bilateral WT.[39]\nBeckwith-Wiedermann syndrome (BWS) constitutes features including macroglossia, macrosomia, hypoglycemia, visceromegaly, omphalocele, and predisposition to several tumors, most commonly WT. Genetic mutations with BWS affect the WT2 gene, located at the 11p15 region.[40, 41] Imprinted genes expressing either maternally or paternally inherited gene are found at the 11p15 locus and alterations to those imprinted genes (such as loss of imprinting (LOI) of IGF-2) may be responsible for WT development in subsets of patients.[42]\nLoss of heterozygosity (LOH) is defined as loss of one of two copies of a chromosomal region also plays an important role in WT tumorigenesis. Approximately 20% of WT patients have been recently reported to have LOH at 16q,[43] while LOH at chromosome 1p occurs in 10% of children with WT.[44] Data from NWTS-5 suggested that tumor-specific LOH at chromosome 16q and 1p are associated with significantly worse outcomes, specifically with increased relapse and death.[45] By contrast, LOH at 11q has been associated with diffuse anaplastic tumors, but is not independently associated with worse outcomes unless the entire long arm of chromosome 11 is lost.[46]\nNew techniques such as DNA microarray expression profiling and array comparative genomic hybridization are being utilized more to investigate the molecular genetics of WT. They provided new perspectives on WT genetics by examining global gene expressions in specific tumor types/histologies.[47, 48]\nOther genes reported to be associated with WT include: WTX (a tumor suppressor gene on X chromosome) ,[49] CTNNB1 (\u03b2-catenin gene in WNT/\u03b2-catenin signaling pathway associated with WT1 and WTX in WT),[50, 51] FWT1 (located at 17q12-q21) and FWT2 (located at 19q13.4).[52, 53]\nIn order to avoid the twin extremes of over-treatment with excessive complications and under-treatment with compromised survival, prognostic biomarkers that can achieve better risk stratification are actively sought worldwide. Multiple biomarkers have been reported to predict WT recurrence, including markers of genetic abnormalities,[54] chromosomal LOH,[55] disordered apoptosis,[56] abnormal cell/nuclear proliferation,[57] anomalous growth factor production,[58] and altered regulation of tumor suppressor genes and/or oncogenes.[59, 60]\nLoss of apoptosis in tumor cells is identified as one of the important mechanisms in tumor progression. Apoptosis-associated regulatory protein Bcl-2, Bax , and Bcl-X were found to be related to WT progression.[56] Survivin, an inhibitor of apoptosis, was reported to be potentially associated with favorable outcome of WT with decreased cytoplasmic survivin expression.[61] The tumor suppressor protein p53 has been reported to occur more frequently in anaplastic WT and in more advanced disease stages.[62, 63] Interestingly, p53 expression has been reported to be altered after chemotherapy.[59] Tumor expression of B7-H1, a cell-surface glycoprotein of the B7 family of T-cell coregulatory molecules, is associated with an increased risk of tumor recurrence and of treatment failure in patients with both favorable histology and anaplastic tumors.[64, 65]\nTable 1- Syndromes associated with WT\nOvergrowth syndromes\nmacrosomia, macroglossia, omphalocele, prominent eyes, ear creases, large kidneys, pancreatic hyperplasia\nfetal gigantism, visceromegaly, unusual face, bilateral renal hamartomas with nephroblastomatosis\nfacial, extremity, and cognitive abnormalities\norganomegaly, bulldog appearance, congenital heart disease, polydactyly\nNon-overgrowth syndromes\naniridia, GU abnomalities, Renal impairement, intellectual disability\nDeny-Drash syndrome\nprogressive renal disease, male pseudohermaphroditism\nprogressive glomerulonephropathy, male pseudohermaphroditism, streak gonads, gonadoblastoma\nAssociated Syndomes\nThere are a number of congenital anomalies and syndromes associated with development of WT (Table 1). These can be broadly categorized as overgrowth and non-overgrowth syndromes. Overgrowth syndromes include Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS), Perlman syndrome, Sotos syndrome, and the Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndromes. The most studied non-overgrowth syndromes are WAGR syndrome and Deny-Drash syndrome. Other reported syndromes that are associated with WT include Frasier syndrome, familial WT syndrome, Mosaic variegated aneuploidy, Fanconi syndrome, Li-Fraumeni syndrome, neurofibromatosis, and Bloom\u2013Torre\u2013Machacek syndrome.\nCurrent WT treatment strategies depend heavily on risk of tumor progression and recurrence. Major prognostic factors include tumor staging, histology, and biology markers.\nStaging criteria are base upon anatomical extent of the tumor without considering other factors such as histology or biological prognostic markers. Higher stage tumor is associated with worse prognosis. The most commonly used staging systems are developed from COG and SIOP. Unilateral tumors are classified as stage I to IV; bilateral tumors are classified as stage V. The major difference is that NWTS/COG stages tumor before chemotherapy is administered and SIOP stages are determined after initial chemotherapy. The details of staging are addressed in detail below.\nTumor histology is perhaps the most critical factor affecting prognosis. Anaplastic histology, especially diffuse type anaplasia, forebodes poor prognosis. Studies suggested the presence of anaplasia was associated with higher rate of recurrence, metastasis, and death.[21, 26] NWTS/COG determines favorable or unfavorable histology based on presence of anaplasia. SIOP has three histologic classifications: low-risk (completely necrotic or cystic partially differentiated nephroblastoma); intermediate-risk (epithelial, stromal, mixed, regressive, or focal anaplastic nephroblastoma); and high risk (blastemal or diffuse anaplastic nephroblastoma).[66]\nBiological factors provide additional information to further stratify the risk and depict prognosis for WT patients. In NWTS-5, LOH of either chromosome 16q or 1p was found to have a significantly higher rate of relapse independent of tumor stage or histology.[45, 55, 67] LOH of 11p15 was associated with more tumor relapse in very low risk WT patients who were not treated with chemotherapy, but rather were surgically excised and then observed.[60]\nHistorically, other factors such as age were also heavily considered in prognostic evaluation. Children less than 24 months old were found to have lower relapse rate.[68] With the new advancement in WT regimens, the role of age greatly diminished.[21, 69]\nThe typical presentation of WT is a palpable, firm, smooth, non-tender abdominal mass. Other symptoms include abdominal pain, hematuria, fever, and hypertension. Subcapsular hemorrhage can cause rapidly increasing in abdominal size, anemia, hypertension, and fever. Tumor rupture can present as an acute abdomen. Tumor extension to renal vein or IVC can lead to varicocele, hepatomegaly, ascites, and congestive heart failure.[70] Due to the fact that WT is commonly associated with congenital syndromes, children should be assessed for associated anomalies including aniridia, hemihypertrophy, or genitourinary abnormalities.\nThe differential diagnosis of WT includes neuroblastoma and other renal tumors. Their histologic and other major characteristics are listed in Table 2.\nTable 2- WT differential diagnosis\nHistology and Major characteristics\nHomer-Wright pseudo-rosettes: small, round and blue, and rosette patterns\naccumulation and excretion of the intermediates HVA, VMA, and dopaminem in urine\nmost common cancer in infancy\ncords and nests of pale-stained tumor cells with abundant extracellular matrix separated by a network of fine capillary arcades\nbone-metastasizing renal tumor of childhood\ntypically presents between the ages of two and three years of life\nRhabdoid tumor of the kidney\npresence of monomorphic cells with vesicular nuclei and prominent nucleoli\nmetastatic presentation\noccurs most frequently in children less than two years of age and almost never in those older than five years of age\nclassic CMN: locally-infiltrative fascicles of spindle cells; cellular CMN: hypercellular with sheets of closely-packed spindle cells\nassociated with hypertension and elevated concentrations of calcium and renin\ncommon within the first year of life\npapillary or pseudopapillary architecture with or without psammoma bodies and clear cells with copious cytoplasm\nfrequently associated with genetic translocations\nmore common during the second decade of life and beyond\nlarge nuclei with prominent vesicles and nucleoli as well as intensely eosinophilic cytoplasm with intense inflammatory response\nalmost exclusively in African-Americans with sickle cell trait or sickle cell disease\nreported mostly in adolescent and young adults\nLaboratory tests should include complete blood count, renal and liver function tests, serum calcium, urinalysis, and a coagulation panel. Complete blood count can detect anemia. Serum creatinine and BUN can help evaluate pre-interventional renal function. Liver function tests may be abnormal with liver metastasis. Hypercalcemia can be found in patients with rhabdoid tumor of the kidney or congenital mesoblastic nephroma.[71] Urinalysis may reveal proteinuria which can be seen in patients with Denys-Drash syndrome. Acquired von Willebrand's disease has been reported in around 8 percent of WT patients at presentation, which is obviously significant for operative planning.[72]\nAbdominal ultrasound is the first-line imaging study for children with an abdominal mass. Doppler can be used to further detect tumor extension to renal vein or inferior vena cava that occurs in 4 percent of WT patients.[73] Once the mass has been confirmed on US, CT scan should be ordered in order to provide more detailed anatomy of the renal mass, contralateral kidney tumor evaluation, and metastasis detection. In contrast to earlier recommendations, thin-sliced helical CT is recommended rather than routine surgical exploration of the contralateral kidney.[74, 75] Controversy exists in the choice of imaging study between chest CT and chest X-ray for lung metastasis.[76, 77] MRI is utilized when tumor infiltration of renal vein or IVC detection is equivocal by ultrasound or when the patient cannot tolerate CT contrast dyes.\nTumor staging and histology are the most potent predictors of WT outcomes. The most commonly used staging systems are developed by NWTS/COG and SIOP. Unilateral tumors are categorized as stage I to IV and bilateral tumors at presentation are categorized as stage V. The central difference lies in the timing of the staging. NWTS/COG system assigns staging at primary surgery. The staging system by SIOP is performed after pre-operative chemotherapy. The detailed staging criteria are listed in Table 3.\ntable 3- NWTS/COG & SIOP staging systems\nTumor confined to the kidney and completely resected. Intact renal capsule. No tumor rupture or renal sinus extension.\nComplete resection with negative margins and lymph node involvement. Regional tumor extension (extracapsular penetration, renal sinus extension, vascular involvement)\nResidual nonhematogenous tumor confined to the abdomen (lymph nodes , any tumor spillage, pre-operative biopsy, tumor removed more than one piece)\nHematogenous metastases (lung, liver, bone, brain), or lymph node metastases outside the abdominopelvic region\nBilateral renal involvement at diagnosis\nUnless a tumor is deemed to be unresectable, biopsy prior to chemotherapy is not typically recommended due to risk of tumor spillage and seeding \u2013 a biopsied tumor will typically be upstaged based on the violation of the tumor capsule. This is controversial, however, as some centers have adopted pre-chemotherapy biopsy to reduce inappropriate treatment such as giving chemotherapy to benign conditions or inadequate chemotherapy to non-WT.[78-80] UKCCSG trials demonstrated no significant difference of 5-year survival between immediate nephrectomy compared with initial biopsy with chemotherapy and delayed nephrectomy.[81] Open biopsy rather than percutaneous biopsy is indicated in bilateral WT with poor chemotherapy response in order to achieve accurate assessment of anaplasia.[82]\nRadical nephrectomy with transperitoneal approach is the mainstay of WT management. Proper surgical staging along with tumor extent evaluation and abdominal cavity exploration are essential for adjuvant therapy planning including chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Sampling of suspicious nodes is recommended for tumor staging as well. Gentle handling of the tumor is mandatory throughout the entire process to prevent tumor spillage; spillage is known to be a significant risk factor for local tumor relapse and requires more aggressive adjuvant therapy.[83]\nNWTS/COG and SIOP differ in terms of timing of surgical excision relative to chemotherapy. The NWTS/COG approach (pre-chemo surgical excision) provides accurate assessment of the disease extent and tumor histology. It also identifies patients with benign disease and thus avoids unnecessary chemotherapy. By contrast, the SIOP approach (post-chemo surgical excision) has the advantage that surgery is often technically easier with reduced tumor size and lower tumor spillage rate after initial chemotherapy.[84] Currently both groups report an excellent 5-year overall survival rate of approximately 90%.[2-4]\nConcerning chemotherapy, the most significant recent advance has been the adoption of dactinomycin and vincristine; these drugs dramatically improved WT patient survival even in advanced disease. NWTS/COG and SIOP conducted multiple randomized trials to adjust the combination of regimen in order to further improve survival with lower complication rates. The recommended NWTS/COG treatment protocol is organized in Table 4.\nTable 4 - COG treatment protocol\nStage/Histology/Biomarker\nChemothereapy\nStage I FH <2y/o <550gm\nStage I FH >2y/o >550gm\nEE-4A\nStage II FH\nStage I-II FH with 1p/16q LOH\nDD-4A\nStage III FH without 1p/16q LOH\nStage I-III FA\nStage I DA\nStage III-IV FH with 1p/16q LOH\nStage IV FH non-pulmonary mets\nStage IV FH pulmonary mets\nLesions persist after 6 wks of chemo\nLesions resected at diagnosis\nLesions resolve after 6 wks of chemo\nStage II-III DA\nStage IV FA\nStage IV DA (no measurable disease*)\nStage IV DA (measurable disease)\nVCR+IRIN window\nStage IV DA (CR/PR after VCR+IRIN window)\nFH= favorable histology; FA= focal anaplasia; DA= diffuse anaplasia\nEE-4A= Vincristine, dactinomycin\nDD-4A= Vincristine, dactinomycin, doxorubicin\nM= Vincristine, dactinomycin, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, etoposide\nUH-1=Vincristine, dactinomycin, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, etoposide, carboplatin\nUH-2=Vincristine, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, etoposide, carboplatin, Irinotecan\nVCR= vincristine; IRIN= irinotecan; CR= complete response; PR= partial response\n*measurable disease: presence of lesion with longest diameter at least 1cm on CT or MRI\nThere are some exceptions in which COG protocols recommend pre-operative chemotherapy. These include WT patients who are undergoing a planned partial nephrectomy/nephron sparing surgery, who have inoperable tumor, and who have caval thrombus extending above the hepatic veins.[10, 70, 85-87]\nIn the SIOP protocol, a 4-week course of preoperative vincristine and dactinomycin are given prior to surgery. Vincristine, dactinomycin, and doxorubicin are administered for six weeks preoperatively if there is any extra-abdominal metastasis. The post-operative regimen is organized in Table 5.\ntable 5 - SIOP treatment protocol\nAMD+VCR x 4wks\nAMD+VCR+DOX x 27wks\n15 Gy at regional LN\n12 Gy if persistent lung lesion at wk 9\nadd ifosfamide, carboplatin, etoposide at wk9 if complete response not achieved for 34 wks\nAMD, dactinomycin; DOX, doxorubicin; VCR, vincristine\nThe COG recommended radiation regimen in detail is organized in Table 6.\ntable 6 - Radiation treatment recommendation by COG\nFlank irradiation\nStage III FH, Stage I-III FA or DA\nWhole abdomen irradiation\nAbdominal stage III\n1. preop tumor rupture\n2. peritoneal mets\n3. tumor spillage\nWhole lung irradiation\n1. 1p/16q LOH\n2.

Duarte described the initial experience of laparoscopic nephrectomy on WT patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy.[88] Since then, there have been multiple reported series of laparoscopic nephrectomy for WT, typically restricted to patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy.[89, 90]\nHistorically, nephron sparing surgery (NSS) was generally reserved for bilateral WT or children with a solitary kidney in whom preservation of renal function was mandatory.[3] Recently, this technique has garnered increasing attention from investigators. Data on NSS in preserving long-term renal function, cardiovascular function, and overall health provide an insight of the potential wider applicability of NSS on selected WT.[91, 92] The AREN0534 trial of COG allows for NSS in children with bilateral WT, or for unilateral WT in children with syndromes which predispose to renal failure or bilateral WT.[93] Although contemporary data on NSS seems quite promising,[89, 94-96] data on NSS outcomes in children with WT remain scarce. As practice patterns continue to evolve, NSS will likely be primarily utilized mainly at high-volume referral centers.\nBilateral WT\nBilateral WT is found in roughly 5-7% of WT patients.[10, 97] The major challenge in these children is to preserve renal function while adequately treating the tumors. Historically, bilateral WT was managed by radical nephrectomy of the more involved side and NSS on the contralateral kidney. However, these patients were found to have a significant risk of ESRD due to tumor recurrence and subsequent nephrectomy.[98, 99] Modern management of bilateral WT incorporates neoadjuvant chemotherapy along with NSS as first-line treatment.[100-102] The most current COG protocol (AREN0534, as noted above) recommends 6 weeks of vincristine, dactinomycin, and doxorubicin, followed by re-evaluation. Depending on tumor response, the patient then receives either an attempt at NSS or an additional 6 weeks of chemotherapy. Following surgery, adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation therapy regimen depend on tumor histology and staging. Open bilateral biopsy may be considered if the tumor has a poor response to adjuvant chemotherapy; poor chemotherapy response has been reported to be due to tumor differentiation, which has a good prognosis if completely resected.[82, 103]\nOf note, true tumor enucleation is generally reserved for large, centrally located tumors due to the concern for positive margin. Anaplasia with positive margin will require additional resection to avoid worse survival.[102, 104-106]\nLate Effects of WT Treatments\nWT survivors may suffer from long-term complications depending on the therapy regimen.[107] The major reported sequelae include development of a second malignancy, cardiotoxicity, renal impairment, musculoskeletal problems, and reproductive issues. Patient who received more aggressive chemotherapy and radiation therapy are obviously at higher risk.\nSecond malignancy is one of the concerning late effects from WT therapy. WT survivors have been reported to have a 1% cumulative incidence at 10 years post-diagnosis and increasing incidence developing second tumor thereafter.[108-110] Radiation therapy is associated with a significantly higher risk of late tumor; most second tumors have been reported to occur within the radiation field.[109, 110] Additionally, doxorubicin may potentiate this radiation effect.[111]\nCardiotoxicity is a well-established late effect of doxorubicin, specifically myocardial dysfunction and reduced contractility. Common manifestations include congestive heart failure and increased left ventricular afterload.[112, 113] The risk of cardiac dysfunction is closely related to the total cumulative dose of doxorubicin.\nRenal impairment in WT survivors can be caused by loss of renal parenchyma from surgery or from nephrotoxicity related to chemotherapy and radiation. Severe renal dysfunction is usually associated with bilateral WT involvement especially if they receive radiation therapy.[98, 114, 115] Other significant risk factors for late renal impairment include Denys-Drash and WAGR syndromes in addition to radiation nephritis.\nMusculoskeletal problems such as scoliosis and short stature were found to be associated with radiation treatment.[116-118] Females who received high-dose abdominal radiation therapy are at risk of abnormal ovary development, higher incidence of infertility, spontaneous miscarriages, premature birth and intrauterine growth retardation of offspring.[119-121]\nOverall five-year survival rate of WT patient has dramatically improved to greater than 90% at present.[2-4] Event-free survival (EFS) rates rely heavily upon prognostic factors like tumor staging, histology, biologic markers, and to a lesser extent, age at diagnosis and tumor weight.\nIn the past, only 30% of WT patients survived with tumor recurrence. With salvage therapy, the five-year survival rate of patient who have recurrence improves to 50-60% [122, 123]. Lung is the most common site for recurrence. Prognostic factors that are associated with favorable prognosis include favorable histology, lower tumor stage, lower number of pulmonary nodules, no prior radiotherapy, recurrence beyond 6-12 months after initial diagnosis, only dactinomycin and vincristine as initial treatment, and complete resection of original tumor.[2, 123, 124] The ideal salvage therapy strategy remains under investigation.[122, 125-129]\nNon-Wilms\u2019 Pediatric Renal Tumors\nCongenital Mesoblastic Nephroma(CMN) is the most common renal tumor in infants within the first several months of life, with 90% diagnosed within the first year of life.[130, 131] In one large series, the median age at diagnosis was reported to be 19 days.[132] Beyond three years of age, CMN is rarely encountered.[130-136] CMN has been noted to be more common in males, with a roughly 2:1 male to female ratio. CMN is thought to originate from the nephrogenic mesenchyme, with two distinct histologic subtypes: the classic and cellular varieties.\nClassic CMN typically presents with a lower tumor stage, smaller tumor volume, and at a younger age than cellular CMN.[132] Classic CMN was initially described in 1967 and noted to be composed of locally-infiltrative fascicles of spindle cells. Vascular invasion at the tumor periphery has been reported.[137] By contrast, cellular CMN is hypercellular, with sheets of closely-packed spindle cells.[138, 139] Both types may coexist in a mixed pattern as well.\nRecent studies have shown that the classic and cellular variants have differing genetic features. In the cellular variant, a t(12;15)(p13;q25) translocation has been shown to produce a ETV6-NTRK gene fusion product which over activates tyrosine kinase signaling; this translocation has not been demonstrated in classic CMN, however.[140, 141] Interestingly, this same translocation is found in infantile fibrosarcoma, leading many authors to conclude that cellular CMN is in fact the renal manifestation of that disease process.[140, 141]\nPrognosis for CMN is generally excellent, particularly in comparison to other renal tumors.[131] Most patients can be successfully treated with radical nephrectomy alone; attempts to preserve renal parenchyma in these patients through the use of partial nephrectomy are often unsuccessful, perhaps due to the tumors\u2019 locally invasive nature.[132] For patients with Stage III tumors, particularly older infants with the cellular variant, some authors have suggested the use of adjuvant chemotherapy.[132] Given the relative chemosensitivity of infantile fibrosarcoma, this approach would seem logical in high-risk patients.[142]\nClear Cell Sarcoma of the Kidney (CCSK) is one of the more common \u201chigh-risk\u201d renal tumors of childhood, representing 3% of pediatric renal tumors in the United States.[143] CCSK is typically described as a large, homogenous, and often multi-cystic mass arising from the renal medulla; necrosis and hemorrhage are common. Histologically, these tumors are classically defined by cords of oval or spindle-shaped cells separated by regularly spaced fibrovascular septa.[20, 143, 144] CCSK typically presents between the ages of two and three years of life (range 2 months to 14 years) with a 2:1 male to female ratio. No cases of bilateral CCSK have been reported.[131, 143]\nPerhaps the most notable feature of CCSK is its propensity to metastasize to bone. Among 351 tumors from the NWTSG, 4% of CCSK tumors presented with metastatic lesions; after lymph node involvement (20%), bone lesions were the most common metastatic site at presentation (1.4%), followed by lung and liver (1.1% each). Importantly, bone was the most common site of tumor recurrence (14%), followed by lung (11%) and abdomen (7%).[143] CCSK recurrences commonly occur years after the initial diagnosis; interestingly, this phenomenon is heightened among patients receiving doxorubicin, despite a reduced overall recurrence rate in patients receiving this drug.[143]\nOverall survival among children with CCSK is reduced as compared to other renal tumors. Eight-year overall survival has been reported to be as high as 83% among children 1 to 3 years of age; however, this figure is reduced among both infants and children older than 4 years of age.[131, 143, 145] Other negative prognostic factors include increased tumor stage and the presence of histologic tumor necrosis. Therapy with doxorubicin is perhaps the most important modifiable risk factor for tumor recurrence, as its use reduced the risk of relapse by 68% in the largest series reported to date.[143]\nRhabdoid Tumor of the Kidney (RTK) is a rare but lethal pediatric renal tumor, comprising less than 2% of all renal tumors in the combined European and US data.[131] Initially described as a sarcomatoid variant of WT, RTK was subsequently recognized as a distinct pathologic entity.[20] RTK is characterized histologically by the presence of monomorphic cells with vesicular nuclei and prominent nucleoli. Immunohistochemical staining commonly shows perinuclear vimentin staining,[146] as well as complete lack of expression of the tumor suppressor gene product INI1.[147]\nRTK commonly presents with hematuria and metastatic disease.[131, 148] Median age was 11 months (range 1 month to 5 years) with a slight male predominance (male to female ratio 1.4:1). In a combined analysis of data from both NWTSG and European trials, 29% of infants with RTK presented with metastatic disease, far more than other tumor types.[131] Importantly, RTK has been noted to have a predilection for concurrent central nervous system involvement, which may be either metastatic RTK or synchronous primary CNS malignancies.[148] Among RTK patients with metastatic disease at presentation, the most common metastatic sites were lung (83%), brain (73%), liver (7%), and bone (5%).[131]Overall survival among patients with RTK in the NWTSG trials was 23%. Survival has been shown to be decreased with higher stage tumors (42% vs. 16% 4-year survival), presence of CNS tumors (universal mortality in NWTS 1-5), and decreased patient age (41% 4-year survival above age 2 years vs. 9% survival below age 6 months). By contrast, patient gender, chemotherapy regimen, and the use of radiotherapy have not been associated with survival.[148-150] Recently, cases of long-term survival after autologous stem cell transplant have been reported.[151]\nRenal Cell Carcinoma/Translocation Renal Cell Carcinomas\nAlthough WT is the most common primary renal neoplasm during the first decade of life, renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is more common during the second decade of life and beyond.[152, 153] RCC constitutes 2-6% of pediatric renal tumors overall,[154-156] and with a roughly 2:1 female to male ratio is more common among girls.[157-160] Pediatric RCC has recently been shown to significantly differ from adult RCC, in terms of both tumor biology and clinical behavior.[157, 161-163]\nIn particular, pediatric RCC has been characterized by its unique genetic features, specifically by chromosome Xp11 or t(6;11) translocation and lack of chromosome 3p mutations. This insight has led to the coining of the terms \u201ctranslocation RCC\u201d or \u201ctranslocation carcinoma of the kidney\u201d, now recognized as a distinct pathologic subtype under the 2004 WHO classification.[164-166] Xp11.2 is the locus of the TFE3 gene, a member of the microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MiTF) family; at least 6 specific TFE3-related cytogenetic translocations and gene fusion products have been reported, with the most common being ASPL-TFE3 (t(X;17)(p11.2;q25)) and PRCC-TFE3 (t(X;1)(p11.2;q21)).[167-169] A second member of the MiTF family, TFEB, is also associated with a subset of pediatric RCC, characterized by the Alpha-TFEB gene fusion product and a t(6;11)(p21;q12) translocation.[164, 170] Histologically, Xp11.2 translocation RCC most commonly exhibits papillary or pseudopapillary architecture with or without psammoma bodies and clear cells with copious cytoplasm.[160] t(6;11) translocation RCC is morphologically similar, but tends to stain positive for HMB-45, while Xp11.2 translocation RCC typically does not.[164] Importantly, the development of translocation RCC has been recently reported to be associated with a history of exposure to cytotoxic chemotherapy, particularly topoisomerase II inhibitors or alkylating agents such as cyclophosphamide.[166, 171] The mechanism behind this association is at present unclear.\nJust as translocation RCC can also occur in adults, so too can non-translocation RCC occur in the pediatric age range;[168] however, the average age of non-translocation RCC patients is between 60 and 65 years.[172] Although non-translocation RCC may develop spontaneously even in young patients, multiple familial syndromes predispose to the development of RCC at young ages. In particular, von Hippel-Lindau syndrome,[173, 174] tuberous sclerosis,[175] Birt-Hogg-Dube,[176] hereditary papillary renal carcinoma,[177] and hereditary leiomyomatosis renal cell carcinoma[178] have been reported to be associated with the development of RCC among children and adolescents.[175, 179, 180]\nIn addition to genetic and etiologic differences, pediatric RCC differs from adult RCC in terms of clinical behavior. While adult RCC patients with lymph node involvement tend to fare poorly, pediatric RCC patients with lymph node involvement have a surprisingly good prognosis.[160, 161] Importantly, these tumors have been reported to occur more commonly than expected among children who have experienced prior chemotherapy.[159, 166, 181] Depending on tumor characteristics (in particular tumor size), some authors have noted that some pediatric RCCs may be suitable for treatment with partial nephrectomy;[158] the role of retroperitoneal lymph node dissection in these patients has been debated as well.[182, 183] Regardless of treatment strategy, the prognosis for RCC has been shown to be somewhat better than for other pediatric renal tumors, with five-year survival rates of 72-87%.[155, 161]\nRenal Medullary Carcinoma (RMC) is a rare and extremely aggressive primary renal tumor which has been reported to occur almost exclusively in African-American adolescents and young adults with sickle cell trait or sickle cell disease; indeed, RMC has been labeled as the \u201cseventh nephropathy\u201d of sickle cell disease.[184] RMC was originally described in 1995, with fewer than 100 cases of RMC described since then.[184, 185] The reported mean age of RMC patients is 21 years, ranging from 5 to 39 years, with a 2:1 male to female ratio.[186, 187]\nAs their name implies, RMC tumors arise centrally within the kidney, perhaps from the transitional epithelium of the renal calyces; RMC is generally believed to be a variant of collecting duct RCC.[188] Tumor growth patterns is often reticular, though a variety of growth patterns have been described.[189] Microscopically, RMC is characterized by large nuclei with prominent vesicles and nucleoli as well as intensely eosinophilic cytoplasm; the tumors are often accompanied by an intense inflammatory response.[184] Cytologically, RMC appears similar to other high-grade carcinomas.[190] Similar to RTK, RMC specimens have also been shown to have complete loss of INI1 expression.[189]\nRMC often presents with gross hematuria and abdominal or flank pain, reflecting its propensity to invade the renal sinus and/or pelvis as well as other local structures. Of 61 patients reported in the two largest case series, all presented at tumor Stage III or IV.[184, 187] Despite a wide variety of attempted therapies,[185, 191] the prognosis of RMC patients is dismal. With the exception of a single patient who was alive at 2 years\u2019 follow-up (and whose tumor was discovered at 1.8 cm in size),[192] the longest reported survival of any RMC patient is 17 months.[193]\nRenal angiomyolipoma (AML) is a generally benign neoplasm of the kidney consisting of a varying proportion of dysplastic blood vessels, smooth muscle, and adipose tissue.[194] These tumors are found much more frequently in women than men (female to male ratio 4:1) at a mean age of 48 years (range 1-86). Though classically associated with tuberous sclerosis (TS), 80% of AML occur spontaneously.[195] Among TS patients, however, up to 70% may develop AML, and up to 10% will have renal complications due to their AML.[196, 197] AML in TS patients tend to develop at a young age, often during infancy; once present, AML is likely to grow over time. This has prompted some authors to recommend annual renal ultrasound screening of TS patients.[196]\nAML is typically a solid tumor, though cystic variants have been described.[198] The triphasic components of AML are classically present in roughly equal proportions, although any one can be predominant in individual tumors.[194] On imaging studies, fat-poor AML in particular can be quite difficult to differentiate from RCC or other renal tumors.[199] AML is generally located at the renal poles, may be bilateral or multifocal, and may extend into the perirenal fat. Classic AML is most often cytologically bland, although the smooth muscle component may assume an atypical appearance with hyperchromatic nuclei and prominent nucleoli.[194] Recently, a rare malignant AML variant known as epithelioid AML has been reported, with the possibility of widespread tumor metastasis.[200]\nAlthough AML may be incidentally discovered on imaging studies, 60% of patients present symptomatically, most commonly with flank pain, a palpable mass, or hematuria.[195] In 15% of patients, AML presents with retroperitoneal hemorrhage (Wunderlich syndrome), which can be life-threatening.[195, 201] Previous studies have shown that tumor size of 4 cm or greater is the most significant predictor of tumor rupture; it is therefore recommended that asymptomatic AML larger than 4 cm be treated in order to prevent their rupture.[201] Although rare, AML-related renal hemorrhage during pregnancy may result in fetal or maternal demise; thus this guideline is particularly recommended for women of child-bearing age who desire to become pregnant.[195, 202]\nGiven the generally benign nature of AML, and given the propensity for multiple or recurrent tumors in TS patients, preservation of renal function is a paramount concern in treatment planning. Nephron-sparing techniques such as partial nephrectomy[199, 203, 204] or vascular embolization[205, 206] are thus preferred to radical nephrectomy in most patients, particularly children and young adults. Although it is more invasive than vascular embolization, partial nephrectomy is less likely to result in the need for repeated treatments; up to 40% of embolized tumors require further therapy.[203-206]\nMetanephric tumors: Metanephric Adenoma, Metanephric Adenofibroma, & Metanephric Stromal Tumor\nMetanephric tumors represent a spectrum of tumor pathology, varying based on the relative proportion of stroma and epithelium. Some authors have suggested that these tumors represent the most hyperdifferentiated, mature form of WT.[207] These tumors arise from the renal medulla and are generally benign, although there have been rare (and controversial) reports of malignant behavior.[207, 208]\nMetanephric adenoma (MA) is a purely epithelial lesion occurring across a wide range of ages (5 to 83 years in the largest reported series). Most patients with MA are adults, though children may be affected as well; there is a roughly 2:1 female predominance.[209, 210] The tumors are typically solid, though cysts may occur. Microscopically, these tumors are unencapsulated but well demarcated, and are composed of embryonal epithelial cells forming regular, closely packed tubular structures. Mitotic activity is rare.[209, 210] On immunohistochemistry, MA stains positive for WT-1, lending support to its putative connection with WT;[211] further support comes from reported cases of MA occurring in patients with hemihypertrophy.[212] Clinically, MA tends to be found incidentally or as a palpable mass; approximately 10% of MA patients also present with polycythemia, perhaps due to direct production of erythropoietin.[213] Given their benign behavior, these tumors are generally best managed by partial nephrectomy.[199]\nMetanephric stromal tumor (MST) is a purely stromal lesion occurring predominantly in children (median age 13 months, range 2 days to 11 years), though rare adult cases have been reported.[214, 215] Both sexes are equally effected. Like MA, MST are more commonly solid, though 10% demonstrate cystic components, and are typically unencapsulated.[214] Unlike MA, these centrally-located lesions often infiltrate into the renal pelvis and occasionally into the renal sinus and ureter.[214, 216] Microscopically, MST is also superficially infiltrative, enclosing native renal tubules and vessels in an \u201conion-skinning\u201d pattern; these \u201ccollarettes\u201d are typically surrounded by bland spindle cell fascicles. Because of their tendency to entrap entire glomeruli, MST induce juxtaglomerular cell hyperplasia in up to 25% of affected kidneys, resulting in rennin-dependent hypertension. On immunohistochemistry, MST tends to stain positive for CD34 and vimentin.[214] MST has been hypothesized to arise from intralobar nephrogenic rests, further supporting the connection between WT and metanephric tumors.[207, 214] Clinically, these tumors may present with a palpable renal mass or with hematuria due to renal pelvis involvement; MST are generally treated with nephrectomy, though partial nephrectomy may be an adequate treatment if negative margins can be achieved.[214-216] There are no reports of MST exhibiting malignant behavior.[207]\nMetanephric adenofibroma (MAF) is a biphasic epithelial & stromal tumor, with a varying ratio of epithelium to stroma.[217, 218] Although the stromal component is identical to the bland spindle cell stroma seen in MST, the epithelial component may be more mitotically active than MA.[217, 218] Importantly, either WT and papillary RCC may arise from the epithelial component of MAF,[217] and spindle-cell sarcomas (dubbed \u201cmetanephric adenosarcoma\u201d) may arise from the stromal component.[219] Similar to MA and MST, MAF is also unencapsulated, but with indistinct borders. These tumors generally presents in children, though adults may be affected (median age 2.5 years, range 5 months to 36 years); males are more commonly affected (male to female ratio 2:1).[217] As with MST, most patients have been treated with radical nephrectomy, though partial nephrectomy is likely a reasonable option provided that negative margins can be obtained. Because most of the reported patients were initially diagnosed with WT, most received adjuvant chemotherapy; it is thus impossible to comment on the natural history of patients treated with surgery alone. However, prognosis in patients with available follow-up has been universally excellent.[217]\nCystic Kidney Tumors: Cystic Nephroma, Cystic Partially Differentiated Nephroblastoma, Cystic Renal Cell Carcinoma, and Mixed Epithelial Stromal Tumors\nCystic renal tumors are relatively uncommon among young children, accounting for 0.5% of the renal tumors reported to both NWTSG and SIOP.[220, 221] The first description of these tumors was published in 1892;[222] since then, however, the classification of these entities has proven controversial.[223-226] Although they are considered as separate entities under the 2004 WHO classification, some authors have suggested that Cystic Nephroma (CN), Cystic Partially Differentiated Nephroblastoma (CPDN), and Mixed Epithelial Stromal Tumors (MEST) represent a pathologic spectrum which may be related to WT.[225, 226] In general, these tumors follow a benign course, with surgical resection alone typically sufficient to ensure a cure.[220, 221, 224, 227, 228]\nLike many renal tumors, CN can occur in adults or children. While in adults CN occurs far more commonly in women (female to male ratio 8:1), the opposite is true in children (female to male ratio 1:2).[226] In children, these tumors often present as a palpable abdominal mass at a median 18 months of age.[221, 224, 229] Pathologically, CN is defined according to the criteria of Joshi and Beckwith[224] as a discrete cystic tumor, well-demarcated from the normal non-cystic renal parenchyma, without significant solid components. The cysts are lined by flattened, cuboidal, or hobnail epithelium, while the septa contain only fibrous tissue or well-differentiated renal tubules.[224] Owing to their benign clinical course and well-demarcated structure, these tumors can be removed using nephron-sparing surgery with no need for adjuvant chemotherapy.[227, 230]\nSimilar to pediatric CN, CPDN occurs predominantly among boys, with a 3:1 male to female ratio.[220] These tumors also present similarly to WT and CN, most commonly as a palpable abdominal mass at a median age of 16 months.[220, 224] CPDN is pathologically quite similar to CN, with the primary difference between the two being the presence of immature or blastemal cells in the septa of CPDN.[223, 224] Two pathologic subtypes of CPDN, conventional and papillonodular, have been described.[228] Also similar to CN, CPDN follows a generally benevolent course with few reported tumor recurrences following surgical removal, which can be performed by either partial or radical nephrectomy.[220, 221]\nMEST is another tumor which is clinically and pathologically similar to CN; several authors have proposed that these tumors are in fact the same identity.[225, 226, 231] However, unlike CN or CPDN, MEST occurs almost exclusively in adults, and as such will not be discussed in detail here.\nLastly, multilocular cystic RCC can also occur among children, though they are markedly more common among adults.[232, 233] Cystic RCC is pathologically and taxonomically distinct from other pediatric cystic neoplasms such as CN or CPDN,[223, 233] and is generally considered to be a rare variant of clear cell RCC.[232, 234] Cystic RCC can occur in the setting of genetic predisposition, such as VHL or TS, or in the setting of acquired renal conditions such as acquired cystic kidney disease. Importantly, cystic RCC is characterized by a uniformly good prognosis following surgical resection by partial or radical nephrectomy.[232-234]\nMiscellaneous Rare Renal Tumors\nIntrarenal Neuroblastoma\nAlthough neuroblastoma has been previously reported to arise from within the kidney parenchyma,[235, 236] this entity is described in detail elsewhere in this text and we will therefore refrain from discussing it further here.\nDesmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumor (DSRCT) is an uncommon but aggressive tumor, with roughly 150 cases described since the original report in 1989.[237] DSRCT most commonly arises from the peritoneal serosa, with roughly 25% of tumors found in genitourinary sites.[237, 238] Rarely, these tumors may originate within the renal parenchyma.[239] Regardless of site of origin, DSRCT is characterized by a single chromosomal translocation, t(11;22)(p13;q12). This translocation results in the fusion of exon 7 of the Ewing sarcoma gene with exon 7 of Wilms\u2019 tumor suppressor gene, leading to a unique gene fusion product, EWS-WT1.[240-242]\nAs the name implies, DSRCT are microscopically characterized by sheets of abundant small undifferentiated cells with scant cytoplasm and hyperchromatic nuclei. DSRCT of the kidney typically demonstrates abundant mitotic figures and prominent apoptosis and necrosis. The tumors are unencapsulated, and tumor borders are uniformly infiltrative.[239, 241] Because the histologic appearance of DSRCT can easily be confused with other tumor types, notably blastema-predominant WT and PNET,[243] the diagnosis of DSRCT should be applied to a primary renal tumor only in the presence of EWS-WT1staining.[239]\nWith the exception of a single case report in an adult,[244] DSRCT of the kidney occurs in young children (mean age 6.8 years), and, in contradistinction to extrarenal DSRCT, is slightly more common in girls.[239, 245] Tumors tend to appear hypovascular, heterogeneous, and well-circumscribed by ultrasound and computed tomography.[246] Although extrarenal DSRCT has a dismal prognosis, 2 of 4 reported patients had no evidence of disease at last follow-up, while the remaining 2 have had a stable clinical course following multi-modality therapy.[239]\nPrimitive Neuroectodermal Tumor (PNET) is thought to be a part of the Ewing\u2019s sarcoma family, most commonly found in bone or soft tissue. Although Ewing\u2019s is a relatively common tumor, primary intrarenal PNET is quite rare, with roughly 50 pediatric cases reported in the literature.[247-252] PNET is frequently noted to have one of two balanced chromosomal translocations (t(11;22)(q24;q12) and t(21;22)(q22;q12)), which result in fusion of the EWS gene with FLI1 or ERG, respectively.[253] These gene fusion products are expressed in >95% of tumors and can be readily detected by FISH or PCR for diagnostic purposes.[249, 250]\nIntrarenal PNET typically occurs in adolescents or young adults at a median age of 24 years (range 4 to 66 years).[247] Histologically, intrarenal PNET is identical to PNET in other locations, with sheets or rosettes of small ovoid cells and a high nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio.[251] Strong membrane immunohistochemical staining for CD99 is a nearly universal feature.[248]\nPNET typically presents with abdominal or flank pain, hematuria, or the presence of a palpable mass; most tumors are detected at an advanced stage.[247, 248] Inferior vena cava thrombi are not uncommonly present (33%) at the time of diagnosis, as are metastases to the lymph nodes (25%), lung (20%), and liver (14%).[247, 249] Of patients with available follow-up data, 43% had died of disease within 2 years of their diagnosis, despite an aggressive multi-modality treatment regimen.\nAnaplastic Sarcoma of the Kidney\nAnaplastic Sarcoma of the Kidney (ASK) has only recently been described as a distinct pathologic entity.[254] These tumors are quite rare with only 21 reported cases,[254, 255] and may be confused with anaplastic WT. Grossly, ASK is typically a large, soft, and friable tumor, with mixed cystic and solid architecture in one-third of cases. Histologically, these tumors consistently demonstrate a spindle cell component arranged in fascicles; as the name implies, anaplasia is universally present, with \u201cbizarre, pleomorphic, multinucleated\u201d cells commonly present. Chondroid differentiation is commonly present, and ASK tumors often stain positive for vimentin and desmin.[254]\nASK occurs at a median age of 5 years (range 10 months to 41 years), with a slight female predominance (female to male ratio 1.5 to 1).[254] A palpable renal mass and/or flank pain are the most common presenting symptoms, with hematuria occurring less frequently. The most common sites of metastases were lung (15%), liver (10%), and bone (10%). Of 14 patients with known follow-up, 3 (21%) had died at a mean 1.6 years after diagnosis; the remaining 11 (79%) were alive at a mean follow-up of 7.4 years.[254, 255]\nMiscellaneous Rare Primary Renal Tumors\nIn addition to the non-WT pediatric primary renal tumors detailed above, multiple other neoplastic entities have been reported to rarely originate within the kidney parenchyma. These include tumors which are typically extrarenal or typically occur in adults, such as synovial sarcoma,[256, 257] rhabdomyosarcoma,[258] lymphoma,[259, 260] leiomyosarcoma,[261] liposarcoma,[262] malignant fibrous histiocytoma,[263] and even melanoma.[264] However, it should be noted that these tumors are prohibitively rare among children.\n1.

        "raw_content": "\u2018Once you accept money\u2026you lose all creditability\u2019\nA $200,000 donation from wind developers Suncor and NextEra is drawing fire.\nLambton County announced in a news release that the owners of the Cedar Point Wind Energy Centre \u2013 Suncor and NextEra \u2014 would contribute $200,000 over four years to the Creative Counties Fund.\nThe announcement listed over a dozen groups receiving money from the fund; but that wasn\u2019t what was drawing the attention.\nPoliticians and anti-turbine activists were questioning why the county accepted the donation at all.\nPlympton-Wyoming Mayor Lonny Napper \u2014 whose community has fought the establishment of Cedar Point project in court\u2014 says councillors were not aware of the sponsorship. \u201cI thought there would have been a red flag come up on this,\u201d he says adding, \u201cBy taking this money, we\u2019re giving the message, \u2018ya, we oppose turbines, but give us some money and it will be nice\u2026One you accept money from them, you lose all credibility.\u201d\nSanto Giorno of WAIT PW, which organized to stop the project, agrees. \u201cThe optics aren\u2019t very good,\u201d he says. \u201cMembers of county council appear to be giving support to the Cedar Point project \u2014 that may not have been the intention \u2014 but by accepting the funds and praising the generosity of Suncor and NextEra, they appear to be giving approval.\n\u201cIt puts them in a very awkward position\u2026what are they going to do when Suncor and NextEra comes back and says they want to put another project in the county?\u201d\nBut Lambton County Warden Bill Weber doesn\u2019t see a problem saying it would be difficult to turn the donation down. \u201cAnytime grant money is made available\u2026I think we have to participate with that and do positive things with it,\u201d he says.\nWeber understands some municipalities have very strong feelings about the wind industry. \u201cPlympton-Wyoming and Lambton Shores and the county are unwilling hosts\u2026however it is the law is through the Green Energy Act, and they\u2019ve occurred in our municipality\u2026if groups don\u2019t want to apply to (the fund) because of where the money comes from, they don\u2019t need to apply for it.\u201d\nNapper wishes councillors had a say in the matter. He believes the money should have been refused. \u201cI don\u2019t think you could oppose them and take their money.. being an unwilling host brings with it responsibility.\n\u201cIf you do that (accepting the cash) take the (unwilling host) bylaw off the books.\u201d\n2 Responses to \u201c\u2018Once you accept money\u2026you lose all creditability\u2019\u201d\nTim Gillies December 16th, 2016\nRefuse the pieces of silver. These companies do this so they have you over a barrel and become their pawn. Do the right thing and turn the money down.\nRural Grubby December 21st, 2016\nOf you could be like Essex and essentially being told you either take the money and the wind developer gets their way or you don\u2019t take the money and the wind developer can still forge ahead. Municipalities lost their planning authority when the Green Energy act came in, which in turn made it so much easier for local politicians to just throw up their arms and say the province is forcing us therefore we can\u2019t do anything. This happened because most councillors don\u2019t have to live directly next to these behemoths, resulting an easy decision to just let it all happen. So what if there will be a handful of residents who will be robbed of their restorative sleep or that thousands of birds and bats are killed. (Sacarm!!) These things don\u2019t directly affect the town\u2019s budget and we will be getting revenues to offset any kind of inconvenience.",

        "raw_content": "NBA travels: Pit stop Cleveland's Q Arena (PHOTOS)\nCLEVELAND -- It's one of the loudest, wildest arenas in the NBA. It's called the Quicken Loans Arena or simply the Q. It is the official home of the Cleveland Cavaliers.\nPhilBoxing paid a visit to this arena jewel in the Midwest yesterday when LeBron James and his Cavaliers recently hosted Derrick Rose and the stampeding Chicago Bulls.\nUnfortunately, the game failed to live up to the hype as the Cavs scored a one-sided 108-94 beating behind Cleveland's Big three of James, Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving, who combined for\n60 points to dent Chicago's vaunted defense.\nFormerly known as the Gund Arena, the Q opened in October 17, 1994 at the cost of $100 million, although it has since been renovated by new owner and billionaire Dan Gilbert. Among the Q's salient features is an HD scoreboard jumbotron, the largest among all NBA affiliated arenas, according to Wikipedia.\nThe author poses at The Q during the Cavaliers vs Bulls NBA game on Monday, Jan 19.\nThe Q is a multi-purpose arena that hosts concerts, shows and other sporting events. But its biggest .lure is LeBron James, today's foremost basketball player, who routinely draws a sell-out crowd of 20,562 fans each time he suits up to play.\nIt was no different last Monday night (Tuesday morning in Manila) when the Cavs dueled with the Bulls. The Q rolled and rollicked under the screams of loyal Cavs fans as they watched their beloved team chalk its third consecutive win, a streak that followed six consecutive losses.\nAlthough it isn't newer, bigger and swankier than other NBA arenas, the Q ably holds its own. And most importantly, it's fit for a king. King James, I mean. (Homer Sayson)",

        "raw_content": "NBA --Hornets continue buzzing, hold off Heat, 78-76\nCHARLOTTE -- The Charlotte Hornets notched their 8th win in nine games, beating Miami Heat 78-76 at the Time Warner Cable Arena.\nThe Heat played catch up most of the way but still had a chance to win it in the last play.\nAfter Chris Bosh drove past Cody Zeller for a lay up to make it 77-76, Kemba Walker was fouled and made one of two free throws, making it 78-76 with 12 seconds remaining. After a timeout, the Heat went for the win, but Bosh airballed a 3 point attempt and Mario Chalmers scrambled for the rebound but missed another 3 point shot as time expired.\n\" I didn't have my feet under me, I rushed the shot and it was a bad miss.\" an obviously dejected Chris Bosh said.\nIt was a defensive game all the way as both teams shot poorly from the field. Hornets shot 33.8 percent (27 of 80 field goals) while the Heat shot 34.5 percent (29 of 84 field goals). The Hornets had a big edge in offensive rebounds 20-10 and 56-41 overall.\n\"That was the game. That's how we won\", Charlotte head coach Steve Clifford said.\nLosing coach Erik Spoelstra told reporters, \"In the first half, we were getting our tails kicked, particularly the offensive rebounding area, loose balls, things of that nature, that really created the separation.\"\nBismack Biyombo had another strong outing for the Hornets with 12 pts, 12 rebounds and 2 blocks. Kemba Walker who missed the previous two games because of a sore knee had 15 pts. while Al Jefferson, off the bench for the second time added 12 pts.\nWade and Bosh both had 17 pts for the Heat.\nThe surging Hornets have held their opponents under 100 points in ten consecutive games, the longest streak in the NBA this season. They have held their last three opponents to 80 points or less, the first team in the NBA to do so this season.\nThey would look to improve their record (18-25) when they hit the road and take on another streaking team, the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday. Meanwhile the Heat (18-24) will try to get back on winning track when they host the struggling Indiana Pacers, Jan 23.",

They were not shocked when assignments were given out and they were assigned to that room.\nEvery knows this, but, did he have to say it? Where is the Principal? Why does he let this guy get away with saying this crap? Why hasn't the union even objected to a room that violates OSHA regulations?\nI'm so lucky to not be part of this system anymore and they are lucky I am not part of their staff. I would take pictures and send them to every newspaper. I would have a recording of the AP's speech to send to the union. I would not sit back and take this crap.\nLabels: APs. saying anything no matter what anyone things, cruel administrators, no self control, OSHA violations, uncaring Principals, useless union\nThis is the same situation as Bryant high School. It was proven that the room the teacher was assigned to was so unsanitary that it was closed and now the teacher who reported it is sitting in the main office all day.

        "raw_content": "Text - Video - Text: Multimodal Remediation with an Eye on Viral Literacy\nContributor: Dan Wuebben\nSchool Affiliation: UC Santa Barbara\nEmail: danwuebben at gmail.com\nThis video describes a multimodal writing with video project assigned for Writing 105M (Multimedia Writing), an upper-division writing course at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB). The second half of the video shows clips from student responses to the prompt; selections from students' written responses to the assignment are in the \"(back to) Text\" section of this wiki page. The purpose of the video assignment is to encourage students to use video recorders and editing tools to open, investigate, and animate texts and genres that often seem closed and rigid; meanwhile, the focus on what I call \"viral literacy\" is meant to help students understand the multifaceted roles of genre, audience, delivery, and reception upon the composition process.\nAssignment Prompt\nGroups of 2-3 work together to plan, script, shoot, edit, and upload a video on YouTube that is between 30 seconds and 2:00 minutes. The content of the video should remediate a text that falls into one of the following categories: 1 A visual interpretation of an \u201cofficial\u201d document such as a statement from the White House, a letter from the Dean, or a parking ticket. 2 An infomercial that outlines the ingredients of a food or a prescription drug (other than marijuana). 3 A grammar lesson: show your audience how to do something useful with the English language (use a semicolon, correct a run-on, etc). 4 A video that re-envisions the process of writing in the community/public spaces. This project is designed to help you use video to both remediate text and rethink rhetoric. Questions you might ask yourself during the process: As a writer, how can you appeal to readers on YouTube? What strategies from writing (planning, drafting, researching, organizing, revising) are germane to the different narrative devices used in short videos? How are the ways that text is composed similar or different from the ways that videos are captured (flip cameras, cell phones), edited (clipped, spliced, layered with text, etc.) and finally distributed (tagged, embedded, etc.)? Assessment: Video = 20% (of total course grade): Your video will be graded holistically based on 1 The critical thinking and creativity displayed by selection and interpretation of the text 2 The rhetorical moves used to remediate the text 3 The overall quality of the edited text (photography, soundtrack, transitions, animations) Final Reflection = 10% (of total course grade): After your video has been uploaded and had a few days to settle in on YouTube, write an analysis of the video you have uploaded and your involvement in the process of writing, capturing, and editing it. While analyzing the finished product, consider the following questions: Who is your audience? Who (besides your classmates and friends) might \u201cview\u201d or even \u201clike\u201d this video? What are some of the best qualities of the video and what would you like to correct if you had more time? How does your video interpret the process of reading and writing? As an added incentive to make an appealing remediation, if your video receives a little \u201cviral\u201d fame and gets 2000 views in the first 72 hours, your group will receive an automatic A for the video. (Note: Only 3% of all Youtube videos get 1000 views in the first month. The number views, likes, or comments will not negatively impact how I grade your video.) We will discuss your proposal to determine how your video will display critical thinking and an appropriate remediation of text. If your final video deviates from that plan (i.e. the critical thinking or the text is pushed far into the background) your video will not qualify for the automatic A.\nThe full assignment prompt listed above relates to a broader movement in higher education suggesting that digital video creation helps undergraduates develop the multimodal and technological literacies that are effective platforms for personal and professional communication. Undergraduate and graduate courses specifically designed for writing with video are becoming more popular. See, for example, Joseph Squier & Kimber Andrews's (2013) \u201cWriting with Video\u201d , Patrick Berry's (2011) \u201cWriting with Video and Across Media\u201d, and Bill Wolff's (2010) \u201cVisual Rhetoric and Multimodal Composition\u201d ). As video assignments are drawn into the composition curriculum, instructors and theorists have begun to examine the distinctions between \u201cwriting to learn\u201d and \u201cwriting/recording/mashing to learn.\u201d Arguing for the importance of teaching basic writers to compose with video, Lillian Spina-Caza and Paul Booth (2012) have claimed that \u201cwriting with video uses the same critical thinking skill set as writing does on paper, but it extends the process into one that involves multi-modal thinking, and therefore has a greater relevance to students\u2019 own lives\u201d (p. 1). Spina-Caza and Booth also outlined an assignment where students were asked to \u201cto generate a short video argument (no more than three- to five-minutes) about the impact of technology on society\u201d (p. 24). When students write and publish videos that reflect on their own experience of media and technology, they learn metacognitive reflection, genre awareness, and technological literacies. Henry Jenkins (2007) has also suggested using media and technology as subjects for student videos, and envisioned a hybridization of theory and practice characterized by an academic unit he tentatively named the YouNiversity. This hypothetical academe would draw from media studies, film, and English to allow students to \u201ctranslate their analytic insights about media into some form of media production\u201d (Jenkins, 2007, para. 12). A range of disciplines and scholars have suggested that students learn about technology or media by making videos about these subjects; the assignment for UCSB Multimedia Writing is somewhat different in that it is grounded by and focused upon text. Incorporating video assignments into the composition classroom should not lessen the importance of text. In fact, online videos are often framed by crucial text. We select \u21f0, titles appear and fade, credits roll, sequences stop, and the screen asks \u21ba \u201cReplay?\u201d Just as viewers read text before, after, and sometimes during a video, students in Multimedia Writing at UCSB write before and after they shoot a video, and their videos are considered extensions and remediations of a text. To keep the focus on text, students begin by writing loose reviews of viral videos. They analyze the feminist elements of Jenna Marbles' confessions, the politics of the Harlem Shake, or the overwhelming sublimity of a double rainbow. Students then sketch ideas for their own viral videos: they pen a pitch, compose storyboards, and draft proposals. As students splice images and edit their own potentially viral videos, they weave text among images captured with a camera: perfecting titles and transitions, adding captions, and tagging the final product with keywords. In the fourth stage students review one another\u2019s videos, write critiques of the video\u2019s meaning, purpose, successes, and shortcomings, and try to situate the multimodal piece in relation to the text which inspired it.\nIt seems that viewers' or readers' perception of news articles, songs, videos, and even academic papers is often heavily influenced by a prominently displayed number of shares, comments, likes, tweets, digs, or \u2764\u2019s--participation in what Henry Jenkins (2006) called the \"convergence culture\" of Web 2.0 Clearly, such qualitative metrics (views, comments, or \u2764\u2019s) can have a flimsy relationship to aesthetic quality or epistemological integrity, but such measures have a more direct relationship to pop culture currency and, by extension, advertising revenue (on Youtube, \u201cviews\u201d have cash value). In conjunction with their written analysis of viral videos, students analyze how popularity metrics (shares, comments, likes, etc.) inform the meaning and value of digital media and the ways online sharing, commenting, or liking either enhance or retard the aesthetic experience. Students also question what might happen if something they created became viral (Lavaveshkul, 2012). This analysis helps students develop what I call \u201cviral literacy\u201d and it is used to help them propose, compose, edit, and publish their own digital videos and to accept the possible risks and benefits of going viral.\n(back to) Text\nMost students responded to the challenge to create a viral video with enthusiasm, but at least a few groups seemed to be carried away with the idea of making their content appealing and as a result their final product lacked (at least from this instructor\u2019s perspective) enough critical engagement with text. For example, one group proposed a documentary-style examination of the ingredients used in a popular energy drink, 5-hour Energy. The group planned to do this by asking consumers of the drink to read the drink's ingredients and then examine the chemical composition of those ingredients and their negative side-effects because, as they wrote, \u201cWe find it ironic that even though 5-Hour Energy accounts for 90% of the national energy shot market, few people can even pronounce the ingredients on the back of the bottle\u201d (TheNewscastersWives, 2013). However, the group found the drink was not as popular on campus as they had thought, and their final product was stripped down to a series of shots in which volunteers who may or may not have ever tried the drink (such as myself) struggle to read the listed ingredients. When I saw the final video, I was dismayed at the lack of any deeper message beyond \u201cHow Fast Can You Read The Ingredients of 5-Hour Energy?\u201d Yet their approach worked. They had 2,000 views in little over 24 hours and comments such as this one posted by Youtube user Xu Chang: \u201cHAH i did it in 37 second! i am current leader!! english is not my first language even! it will be fun intense\ufeff competitions at next Chinese club meetings. drink one of it before attempting for to increase your speed!\u201d This was the type of response that the creators intended. One of the students later remarked, \u201cThe dynamic of asking people to respond with their own videos of trying to read the ingredients as fast as they can, we believe we created something that you cannot do with a typical academic paper. Instead of a one-way message (the video to the viewer), we wanted to have a conversation with the viewer and potentially begin a verbal/visual dialogue between distant viewers.\u201d This particular video has challenged me to reconsider the assignment and its purpose. If, for better or worse, media is ranked by the hits, likes, and views it has accrued, can we in any way assess student work by a similar metric? Is it useful to reward students for promoting and marketing their writing skills? Am I encouraging them to produce viral drivel or developing an inherent literacy? In order to begin answering these questions, my colleague Madeleine Sorapure, who teaches a similar writing with video assignment (but without the viral challenge), helped me to compose a student questionnaire that we then distributed to each of our sections of Multimedia Writing. While this assignment, and the responses to the questionnaires, are the first stages of the research, some of these student reflections (which the authors have given me permission to use) have helped to appease some of my anxiety.\n\u201cAs we learned throughout the video project process, text may be permanent, but interest is ever fleeting. Something that goes viral today is most likely to be a forgotten past by tomorrow.\"\n\u201cThe viral video project process was similar to writing an academic paper in the sense that involved planning an idea and a schedule around this idea, creating a draft of what content\u2014visual and dialogue\u2014would be included in the video, organizing all of the factual and textual information to be included, and revising the video in the end by the sequence chosen and the editing style. Overall, the same process of thinking an idea through and revealing that idea, which is used when writing papers, was used in the creation of the video. It was different in the aspect that both visuals and text had to be considered and combined. Also, collaborating with others to create the video changed and enhanced the creative process.\"\n\"Using music and different video angles and structures, we would be able to emphasize particular aspects of the video to portray certain meanings and symbols worth taking notice about Adderall such as the typical reasons for taking the drug and the usual side effects incurred after its use.\"\n\"It is fascinating to consider the evolution of YouTube. Created in 2005 with an 18-second video about the size of an elephant\u2019s \u201ctrunk,\u201d the site quickly became a creative outlet for the average consumer (or anyone with a recording device) to express themselves and to engage in the interactive world of Web 2.0. In just a matter of years, it became so much more than that: It evolved to become an opportunity to share the tribulations of parenting (HDCYT, 2007), to create a movement (WWF International, 2009), and even to jumpstart a multi-million dollar career (kidrauhl, 2008). What is it, though, that causes users to continue to post videos? Is it the desire for recognition? The element of community? The hope that their video will go \u201cviral?\u201d In this age of likes, retweets, favorites, and shares, it seems as though everything has become a competition: against ourselves, against friends, and even against complete strangers. We strive for recognition and stop at nothing to achieve it.\"\n\"In my opinion, creating a video/text project was the perfect way to demonstrate what we\u2019ve learned throughout the quarter. Most any UCSB undergrad can pound out a paper in a night or two. The number of research papers or novel comparisons I\u2019ve written is outstanding. And for most classes, you can churn out the same cookie cutter structure and appease the professor... We needed something to excite the masses, so that they would not only view\u2026but share. The few times I\u2019ve gotten to control the creativity have been my favorite and most influential learning experiences.\"\n\"As one of my fellow classmates mentioned, this project became something more than just a typical class assignment; it became much more personal. We created an original idea for a video that we hoped would go \u201cviral,\u201d and to see that idea come to fruition was extremely gratifying, more gratifying than any grade for an academic paper could ever be. Throughout every step of the process, brainstorming, filming, editing, and uploading, we would constantly ask ourselves how we could make this enjoyable to our viewers; it was no longer just about a grade, it was about entertaining others.\"\n\u201c...the video gave us some credibility as well as the ability to control our viewers' emotions in a fast way. I\u2019m not saying there aren\u2019t other ways to do that, but this video had aspects such as the right entertainment medium, familiarity, and authority that would give us easy access to our audience.\u201d\nAshton, Kevin.

        "raw_content": "Then Jesus said to his disciples, \u201cTruly I tell you, it will be hard for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.\u201d When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astounded and said, \u201cThen who can be saved?\u201d\nBut Jesus looked at them and said, \u201cFor mortals it is impossible, but for God all things are possible.\u201d Then Peter said in reply, \u201cLook, we have left everything and followed you. What then will we have?\u201d Jesus said to them, \u201cTruly I tell you, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man is seated on the throne of his glory, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields, for my name\u2019s sake, will receive a hundredfold, and will inherit eternal life. But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.\nToday\u2019s gospel follows right after the story of the rich young man who went away sad when Jesus told him to sell what he had and give it to the poor, and then come and follow me.\nFor almost forty years, until he died, I had a wealthy friend. This man was a renowned orthopedic surgeon in Boston. He used to ask me: \u201cWhy is Jesus so hard on wealthy people? I\u2019m a good husband and father. I am generous to my Jesuit alma mater, and I am on the Cardinal\u2019s \u2018Hit List\u2019 of wealthy donors. I use my wealth responsibly.\u201d\nIt took many conversations, but one day we clicked on what Ignatius says in the Spiritual Exercises [#136-148]. In the meditation on the Two Standards/Strategies: Satan seduces people from riches to power to pride, whereas Jesus urges poverty to powerlessness to humility. He rejoiced at this and said: \u201cSo, Jesus really loves me, and he is hard on the wealthy, because he is worried for them.\u201d Yes!\nWhere is Jesus inviting me today? And how do I respond?\n\u2014Fr. Robert Braunreuther, S.J. of the New England province serves in University Ministry at Loyola University Chicago, where he is also the minister at the Arrupe House Jesuit community.\nLord, when people get close to dying, it is then easy to focus on what really matters. As the patriot Patrick Henry prepared for his death, he wrote: \u201cI have now disposed of all my property to my family. There is one thing more I wish I could give them and that is faith in Jesus Christ. If they had that and I had not given them a single shilling, they would have been rich; and if they had not that, and I had given them all the world, they would be poor indeed.\u201d\nLord, let us be your presence this day. Give us the wisdom and the grace to discern what we need to surrender to you. Grant us the courage to trust in you and to look forward to the details of this day with renewed hope.",

        "raw_content": "Well, now that the early games are over, I can more easily sketch the scenario under which the Redskins make the playoffs. I'm not sure if this is the only way they can make the playoffs (it may be), but this is what they need...\nThe Redskins win their remaining 2 games.\nEither Seattle or St. Louis loses the rest of their games.\nThe Giants lose one of their remaining two games.\nWhoever wins the Tampa Bay-New Orleans game today has to lose one of their remaining two games.\nCarolina loses one of their two remaining games.\nIn an earlier version of this post, I left out Carolina, and computed the probability that the Skins would make the playoffs, assuming each game is a 50/50 proposition. The probability drops a little bit once I do this (ahem) correctly, but the fact remains that if the Skins win out, they have a 12.9% chance of making the playoffs. Not high, but not bad for a 5-9 team. That probability should go up after St. Louis loses to Arizona today.\nDisclaimer: Of course, the Skins don't deserve to make the playoffs after the season they've had. Still, it amuses me to figure out the possibilities.\n[Update: St. Louis did lose. New Orleans won. The scenario simplifies to:\nThe winner of the final week's Carolina-New Orleans game has to lose next week.\nSo in order for the Redskins to be eliminated next week, one of the following things has to happen.\nThe Redskins lose.\nBoth Seattle and St. Louis win.\nBoth Carolina and New Orleans win.]\nOK, during the conference, I have wireless access to use during the...less interesting talks. It's my turn to have the laptop today, but don't feel bad for Christina -- she has the Town Car today.\nAside from researching video poker strategies, I'm using this time to follow NFL games. The Redskins, at 5-9, ridiculously have not been mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. What better to do during the mathematics conference than figure out what it takes to be mathematically eliminated?\nOf the teams they might end up tied with (at 7-9) for a playoff spot, the Redskins would win the tiebreaker with Seattle, Minnesota, Carolina, Detroit, Chicago, Tampa Bay, and New Orleans. They would lose the tiebreaker with St. Louis, Dallas, and the Giants.\nTherefore, if Seattle, Minnesota and St. Louis win today, the Redskins are eliminated. Seattle and Minnesota would have better records than the Skins, and St. Louis would win a tiebreaker. One of Seattle and St. Louis would win the division, and the other would beat out the Skins for the tiebreaker.\nIf any of these teams lose, the Redskins have their hopes alive for another week. (Though to be truthful, I don't know how many of them are actually thinking about this.) Seattle looks like it's going to lose, and Minnesota is in a close game, so we'll see.\nHere are just a few of the pictures we've taken so far. I suspect Christina and I will have some more to post...\nOne of the reasons for staying at the Las Vegas Hilton is the Star Trek Experience and other themed Star Trek activity. I can't overly recommend the food at Quark's Bar, but the ambiance is entertaining...\nOne of the features of Las Vegas is the classic buffet. USA Today published some suggestions this week, and we thought we'd try a few out. This prompted road trips to a few of Vegas' newer casinos. (The road trips are a pleasure in and of themselves in the Lincoln Town Car I ended up renting.)\nChristina has concerns with the constant objectification of women in Las Vegas.\nBut it's hard to object to the wide variety of entrees on offer at the Palms...",

        "raw_content": "History of The Parish of Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen of Peace & St. Veronica\nIn April, 1852, Rev. William O'Hara, who later became the first Bishop of the Scranton Diocese, founded and organized St. Philomena's Parish and became its first pastor. At the time, Wayne County belonged to the Diocese of Philadelphia. A wooden church was built on the back corner of the present property which had a seating capacity of 400. The church was dedicated by Bishop John N. Neumann, who has since been canonized as a saint.\nDuring the next few years, several mission churches were established in the adjacent towns of Lackawaxen, Ledgedale, Shohola, White Mills, Matamoras, Milford, Dingman's Ferry, Promised Land, as well as Milanville and Glen Spey, NY.\nOn July 22, 1900, the cornerstone for the present building was laid and blessed by Most Reverend Michael Hoban, Bishop of Scranton, a native of Hawley. It was dedicated on June 20, 1901 by Bishop Hoban. In 1911, the present Rectory was completed.\nSt. Philomena's/ Queen of Peace Cemetery was established in 1849 and is one of the oldest in the Diocese of Scranton. The Grotto Section was added in 1939 and since then more area has been made available for use by the parishioners. In 2001, the Gate of Heaven Section was added giving the cemetery more than two more acres of new useable space.\nIn May of 1947, Father Holleran purchased the Murray property across Chestnut Avenue from the church and had it remodeled into a convent for the Sisters who served the Church and her missions. It also had space for a Kindergarten classroom. Many of Hawley's present residents went to classes there.\nThe mission church, St. Veronica's, was established in Paupack in 1960. As of May 30, 1962, St. Philomena's church became known as Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen of Peace church.\nIn 1982, the parish entered into a major renovation project to modernize the buildings and the grounds. Both churches, B.V.M. Queen of Peace and St. Veronica's, were repaired and repainted, with the result being the beautiful houses of worship we use today. The entrance to B.V.M. Queen of Peace church was enclosed and an elevator installed in 1989. In 1997, the garages behind the rectory were demolished and a Parish Center was built. This building is used for meetings and religious education classes. That same year a three car garage was built to accommodate the parish vehicles behind the Religious Education Center. In 1999 and 2000, both churches were painted and new carpet installed. In 2006, the original roof at B.V.M. Queen of Peace was replaced. The ceiling at St. veronica\u2019s Church was replaced with tongue and groove pine and excellent insulation that same year.\nOver the past 159 years, there have been seventeen pastors assigned to Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen of Peace church. The present pastor, Rev. Richard W. Beck, has celebrated his sixth anniversary with the parish family.\nAt the present time there are1281 families registered in the Parish accounting for 3305 members.",

        "raw_content": "Royal Platinum Wedding: 5 other royal events of 1947\nIn the end, it is the royal event we all remember from 1947. The marriage of the then Princess Elizabeth to Philip Mountbatten on November 20th 1947 has gone down in history as a regal milestone and the start of an historic story. But it wasn't the only major royal event that year.\nThree reigns came to an end, two tenures began, one monarchy ended for good. There was also a regency and a tragic event that would change another throne forever. Here are five more royal events of 1947...\nWho Prince Gustaf Adolf Oscar Frederik Arthur Edmund, Duke of Vasterbotten, eldest son of the Crown Prince of Sweden and second in line to his country's throne\nWhen January 26th 1947\nWhere Kastrup Airport, Copenhagen, Denmark\nWhat Prince Gustaf Adolf was on his way back from visiting Princess Juliana and Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands when his plane made a routine stop in Copenhagen. On taking off again, the aircarft got into trouble, stalled and crashed, killing all 22 people on board.\nConsequences The prince left behind a widow and five children. As Swedish law at the time only permitted princes to succeed to the throne, his only son, nine month old Carl Gustaf, immediately became second in line to the throne. Gustaf Adolf was buried on Karlsborg Island, Solna. His son is now the King of Sweden.\nA change of power in Greece\nWho King George II of the Hellenes and King Paul I of the Hellenes\nWhen April 1st 1947\nWhere Athens, Greece\nWhat King George II of the Hellenes died on April 1st 1947 at the Royal Palace in Athens. He was succeeded the same day by his younger brother who became King Paul I of the Hellenes.\nConsequences The Greek monarchy had gone through turbulent times and George had only returned to his country in 1946 following a referendum which supported the restoration of royal rule. King Paul's rule would be more stable although republican sentiments in Greece continued to flourish. Paul died in 1964 and was succeeded by his son, Constantine, who went into exile in 1967.\nA new king for Denmark\nWho King Christian X of Denmark and King Frederik IX of Denmark\nWhen April 20th 1947\nWhere Amalienborg Palace, Copenhagen\nWhat King Christian X of Denmark died on April 20th 1947 and was immediately succeeded by his son who became King Frederik IX of Denmark\nConsequences Christian X had been a popular monarch and was widely mourned. His son was also well supported and made a major change to the monarchy in 1953 when he changed the rules to allow women to succeed - previously they had had no rights at all. Frederik died in 1972 and was succeeded by the eldest of his three daughters, Margrethe II, who still rules today.\nThe end of an era begins in the Netherlands\nWho Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands and Princess Juliana of the Netherlands\nWhen October 14th 1947 - December 1st 1947\nWhat Juliana, heir to the Dutch throne since her birth, became her country's regent time when her mother's health proved problematic. In that capacity, she attended the wedding of Princess Elizabeth and Philip at Westminster Abbey on November 20th 1947.\nConsequences Wilhelmina is said to have wanted to abdicate during this regency but was urged to remain on the throne by Juliana who wanted her mother to celebrate her Diamond Jubilee, set for 1950. However, in 1948 it became clear that Wilhelmina would step aside and the abdication took place on September 4th that year. Wilhelmina died in 1962. Juliana was Queen of the Netherlands until her own abdication in 1980.\nAbdication of a King\nWho King Michael I of Romania\nWhen December 30th 1947\nWhere Bucharest, Romania\nWhat King Michael of Romania returned from attending the Royal Wedding at Westminster to find his country in more turmoil. The pro Soviet government, in place since the end of World War Two, forced him to abdicate at the end of the year.\nConsequences Michael went into exile in January 1948 and didn't return to his country until 1990. Throughout that time he was supported by his wife, Anne, who he met at the wedding of Elizabeth and Philip. He now enjoys a strong level of popularity in his home nation but has always maintained the monarchy can only be restored there with public backing which has never materialised.\nYou can read lots more about the royal Platinum Wedding on a special page here.\nPhotos Wiki Commons\nBritish Royalty Danish Royalty Dutch Royalty Greek Royalty King Michael of Romania Romanian Royalty Royal Platinum Wedding",

        "raw_content": "Knife crime in the West Midlands is falling with 1,445 fewer offences in 2011/2012 compared to the same period in 2008/2009. However, just one victim is one too many and West Midlands Police remains committed to driving knife crime down even further.\nAnyone found to be carrying a knife in a public place could face a prison sentence of at least four years.\nBut under 'joint enterprise' rules, prosecutors also have the power to bring before the courts people who were present when a crime was committed so that all face the same serious charges.\nThe Knives End Lives campaign aims to raise awareness of the real consequences of carrying a knife and the risk people face if caught in the company of someone who they know is armed.\nOur message is - if someone has a knife and you know they are going to use it, you risk being punished too.\nKnives end lives - don't let that knife end yours. Tell police on 101 or dial 999 in an emergency.\nJust one wound inflicted by a knife can be fatal - in this video a victim's sister and a surgeon from a Birmingham hospital discuss how that fact has proved to be true for them.\nSonya's brother, 21 year-old Yajay Sudra from Birmingham, was stabbed in the street in a random attack on his way home from work in July 2010. He made it back home where he sadly died from a single stab wound to his heart. His sister Sonya tells of her family's heartache over Jay's senseless killing to help raise awareness of the impact knife crime on not only the victims, but also the people they leave behind.\nReducing knife crime\n* Some of the tactics the force uses to address knife crime include:\n* Walk through knife arches at bus, tram and railway stations - as well as schools, colleges and universities as part of pop-up action days\n* Hard hitting presentations to teenagers in local schools\n* Reminders for teachers of their powers to search students and how to do so safely\n* Traffic police using hand-held metal detectors to search drivers as part of intelligence led patrols\n* Visits to shopkeepers to remind them of their responsibilities when selling knives - including undercover 'test purchase' operations, in conjunction with trading standards officers, to ensure that traders are adhering to the law and checking the age of buyers.\nA 17-YEAR-OLD Rednal lad was jailed for seven years in January 2013 for stabbing a student in an unprovoked attack.\nHis victim - a 19-year-old university student from Surrey - was knifed five times in the elbow, chest and abdomen and spent months in Birmingham's Queen Elizabeth Hospital recovering from his injuries.\nThe lad who was jailed was sentenced alongside four of his friends who had been with him on the night of the attack and who had known he was carrying a knife but didn't tell police.\nOver the course of the four-week trial at Birmingham Crown Court, the jury heard how in the early hours of 27 April 2012 the group had roamed the streets of Birmingham goading innocent passers by. They had earlier been drinking at one of their homes where the attacker had shown his friends the deadly three-inch long knife.\nAt around 1am, the gang saw their victim on Bristol Street who had been returning home from a night out with his girlfriend.\nA 16-year-old girl who was in the group then started to punch the woman while the four lads attacked the student. It was during this attack that one of the teenagers held their victim from behind while another repeatedly stabbed him.\nDespite his serious wounds, the student broke free and ran away, collapsing just metres from his front door on Belgrave Middleway.\nFollowing painstaking enquiries, all five gang members were rounded up in the minutes and hours after the attack.\nDetectives pushed all five to be prosecuted for the same offence under a legal doctrine known as 'joint enterprise'. This is where prosecutors have the power to bring before the courts people who were present when a crime was committed so that all face the same charges.\nDetective Chief Inspector Simon Wallis, from the force's Criminal Investigation Department, said: \"Joint enterprise means that two or more people who embark on a project with a common purpose which results in the commission of a crime can be charged with the main offence regardless of their role.\n\"As this case demonstrates, joint enterprise is reserved for all but the most serious offences and it is rare for police forces to push for joint venture prosecutions in this way.\n\"Our determination to bring those responsible to justice reflects the seriousness with which West Midlands Police - and society in general - regards knife crime.\"\nPlay your part in reducing knife crime by reporting people you know or suspect may be carrying a knife.\nCall your local police on 101, or dial 999 if a crime is in progress or a life is in danger.\nIf you can't talk to police, contact the independent charity Crimestoppers by calling 0800 555 111 and give information about crime anonymously.\nSource: westmidlands.police.uk",

        "raw_content": "Accreditation - > The benefits of accreditation\nRCBH has created a solid and effective system of procedures for its activities of conformity assessment of testing laboratories and certification and inspection bodies.\nAccreditation is a transparent and efficient process, the positive effects of which filter through to all operators in the socio-economic system.\nFor institutions and public authorities , from government ministries to controlling authorities, from local bodies to public ones, accreditation is a means of regulation which supports the activities of the competent bodies in controlling operators on the market, verifying their conformity to national and European standards, in conjunction with or in substitution of government authorities. Accreditation is non-profit-distributing, free of the mechanisms of competitiveness so as to be able to guarantee independence and impartiality, under the surveillance of the state with which it operates in full collaboration. It enables the reduction of bureaucracy in those sectors where it verifies the application of recognised international standards, thereby reducing or eliminating entirely the need for legislation at national level.\nAccreditation enables businesses to make a greater impact on the market: possession of an accredited conformity evaluation provides a significant competitive advantage , carrying legislative compliance in some sectors, strengthening market credibility across the board and facilitating entry into foreign markets without the obstacles of additional controls. Possession of an accreditation certification is a process which involves all the functions of an organisation, also in terms of commitment and knowledge, so that the entire structure emerges stronger in terms of both productivity drive and the management of internal and external risks .\nFor the consumer , accreditation is invisible (?), yet it brings with it real advantages, being the basis of the conformity assessment system, independent of third parties. Choosing a certified product or service means being sure that the supplier has fulfilled a series of obligations and has used all possible resources to place on the market a product which is indeed everything it claims to be. This is of particular importance regarding the quality of goods and services and even more so when they impact directly on health and safety . The consumer will choose and have trust in the product which has stringent requirements in matters concerning environmental protection, healthcare in the workplace or food safety.",

        "raw_content": "A chiropractic treatment from Dr. Tracey typically involves a combination of spinal adjusting techniques which may include Diversified, Thompson, SOT, and Activator, depending on patient presentation. She may also use other procedures to complement the chiropractic adjustment such as assisted stretching, and massage or trigger point therapy. Please set aside 30 minutes for your appointment.\nDiversified is a chiropractic technique characterized by a high velocity low amplitude thrust. Across the Chiropractic industry, this the crack/pop sound you commonly hear during an adjustment. It is a combination of many different methods and is the most commonly used technique by chiropractors.\nWith Activator Technique the chiropractor uses a handheld instrument to deliver the treatment. There is no twisting of the patients neck or back which results in a comfortable experience for the patient. Activator Methods are based on the premise that understanding body mechanics and force is the key to understanding how to move bones. Two components are necessary for fast, effective reduction of nerve pressure caused by subluxations. They are speed and line of drive, which is what makes chiropractic the distinct and dynamic art and science that it is. The Activator Instrument was designed to deliver this specific dynamic thrust. Dr. Tracey uses this small hand-held gun-type mechanism that delivers a sharp percussive and low-force thrust upon triggering. The Activator controls the force and speed of the adjustment exceptionally well, resulting in a line of drive that can be more specific than other manual techniques.\nStretching is an excellent adjunct to chiropractic as it helps to improve posture, increase flexibility and relieve stress.\nFascia is another term for connective tissue that is interwoven throughout us. Myofascial pain can come from a trigger point, or a localized and very tender nodule or spasm found in a taut band of muscle fibers. Trigger Points refer pain and tingling from their primary location to other tissues of the body supplied by nerves. They can be caused by vertebral misalignments due to any kind of stress and aggravated by trauma, poor posture, overuse, and ergonomically incorrect work stations. Dr. Tracey treats Trigger Points with the most effective method called Ischemic Compression. This technique involves a repeated, deep, and sustained form of pressure with eventual release. This technique affects the body by eliminating the accumulation of waste in the muscle. The patient is instructed to breathe deeply during the treatment, and to drink plenty of water afterwards to help rid the body of the toxins that were released. Dr. Tracey\u2019s patients who receive Trigger Point work in conjunction with their chiropractic adjustments notice even more dramatic reductions in pain, and a decrease in the amount of time it takes for them to heal from their injury.\nSacral Occipital Technique is a method of normalizing the relationship between the foundation of the spine and the top of the spine. This gentle chiropractic technique is composed of highly accurate and effective procedures focused mainly on the soft tissues which stabilize the body.\nThompsons Terminal Point Technique\nThis technique is built around the research of Dr. Derifield of Detroit, Michigan. Analysis of the patient\u2019s subluxations using the Derifield Technique, depends upon a very accurate leg check. Dr. Tracey uses a Thompson Drop Table for this technique, which contains a special mechanism that instantly weights the patient, and then adds only enough tension to hold the patient in the \u201cup\u201d position before the thrust is given. In this way, gravity is used to assist in the correction of the spinal misalignments.",

        "raw_content": "ASTM A707 is the standard specification covers forged carbon and alloy steel flanges intended primarily for petroleum and gas pipeline in areas subject to low ambient temperatures. It specifies 8 grades, 4 yield-strength classes, and 3 different notch toughness levels. ASTM A707 flanges can be manufactured either to customer-specified dimensions or to dimensional standards such as MSS SP 44 (ASME B16.47 Series A), ASME B16.5, API 605 (ASME B16.47 Series B). The flanges shall be provided free of welding repair.\n1. Chemical Composition Requirements\nN - - 0.010-0.030 - - - - -\n2. Mechanical Properties of ASTM A707 flanges\n3. Limits on Grade-Class in Practice\nASTM A707 flanges can be manufactured to any specific grade and class provided the capability of the composition meets the specified mechanical-property requirements. However, current practice normally limits the following: (1) Grade L1 to Class 1 and 2; (2) Grade L2 to Class 1, 2 and 3; (3) Grade L3 to Class 1, 2 and 3; (4) Grade L4 to Class 1, 2 and 3; (5) Grade L7 to Class 1 and 2; (6) Grade L5, L6, and L8 are generally available in any class.\nAfter forging and before reheating for heat treatment, the forging shall be allowed to cool substantially below the transformation range. The method of cooling shall be such as to ensure against the development of cracks, flakes, etc. All ASTM A707 flanges shall be heat treated by annealing, normalizing, precipitation hardening, quenching-and-tempering, normalizing-and-tempering, normalizing-and-precipitation hardening, or quenching-and-precipitation-hardening. Especially, the precipitation hardening consists of heating the flanges to a temperature between 1000 to 1250\u00b0F[538-677\u00b0C], holding at temperature no less than half an hour, and then cooling at any convenient rate.\n5. Welding, Test & Inspection\nUsually welding processes of SMAW, GMAW, FCAW, or GTAW may be applied for the welding of ASTM A707 flanges. Electrodes shall be selected in accordance with AWS A 5.5. Welding procedures shall be qualified in accordance with ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Division 1 of Section VIII, Paragraph UG-84, and Section IX. Usually visual examination, dimensional inspection, chemical analysis, tension test, hardness test, impact test, as well as ultrasonic examination are required for the forgings.",

Here we present the \ufb01rst \ufb01eld evidence of a third guild, scatter-hoarding of nuts in the genus Leucadendron (Proteaceae) from the south-west Cape.

This \ufb01nding has implications for the understanding of the evolution of myrmecochory and serotiny in shrublands.

        "raw_content": "PH is 5th largest coffee consumer, new industry road map to meet local demand\nJohn Carlo Tria Apr 19, 2018 434 views\nMANILA -- AS the Philippine economy grows, so will its consumptio of coffee. At present, it is the worlds 5th largest coffee consumer behind the European Union, United States, Brazil, and Japan, yet produces less than 20% to meet local demand. This is expected to further increase driven by the growing consumption of coffee by younger generation.\nThe Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) is optimistic that the local production of coffee will increase and coffee products will be more globally competitive with the Philippine Coffee Industry Roadmap 2017-2022, which was signed last month by President Rodrigo Duterte.\nUnder the five-year period roadmap, some 213,788 hectares of land is expected to be made available for coffee farming. At the same time, the program is expected to bring about an increase in the average yield to one ton of coffee beans per hectare from the current 0.33 tons.\nCoffee production at the end of the implementation of the roadmap is targeted at 214,626 metric ton (MT) from the current annual output of 37,000 MT, according to Lopez. This would make the country\u2019s coffee self-sufficiency level increase to 161 percent from the current 41.6 percent level.\n\u201cWe have to have a patriotic drive to encourage demand for Philippine coffee. We are encouraging local producers to expand coffee production to create the demand,\u201d said Lopez.\nThe country produces four varieties of coffee -- the robusta, arabica, excelsa, and liberica, it was explained.\nThe DTI noted the huge local demand for coffee products. The Philippines is fifth largest consumer of coffee globally, behind the European Union, United States, Brazil, and Japan. Domestic demand is expected to further increase driven by the growing consumption of coffee by younger generation. It is working with the Department of Agriculture to implement the roadmap.\nAbout 90 percent of coffee in the country are imported, which amounted to PHP12 billion. This made the country the fourth largest importer of coffee in the world.\nLopez also assured local coffee farmers that DTI has enabling mechanisms to support the industry.\n\u201cThrough DTI\u2019s 7Ms (Mindset change, Mastery, Mentoring, Money, Machine, and Models), we will continue to provide enabling mechanisms to empower coffee farmers and help in addressing the challenges in the industry,\u201d the trade chief said.\nAside from coffee industry, other agribusiness sectors that completed their roadmaps include cacao and tablea, carrageenan, condiments, processed fruit, processed meat, and processed shrimp.\nThe DTI urges industries to craft their own roadmaps that will complement the country\u2019s Comprehensive National Industrial Strategy (CNIS), which aims to integrate manufacturing, agriculture and services.\nThe industry roadmaps and the CNIS also seek to address gaps in the supply chain and link Philippine industries to the global value chain.

While it\u2019s no secret that Hitler was a bit of an art connoisseur, ordering his armies to steal millions of masterpieces during their tear through Europe, few know the tale of the rag-tag bunch of Allied academics who donned fatigues to get it all back.\nAt one point, before having its release delayed until February because of post-production work, The Monuments Men was being mentioned alongside American Hustle and Gravity as an Oscar contender. Since no one had seen it yet I can only surmise it was because folks were just giving George Clooney (who produced, directed, co-wrote, and stars in the film) the benefit of the doubt.\nUnfortunately, The Monuments Men (based on the non-fiction book by Robert Edsel) proves Clooney is not infallible. What should have been a riveting (and at times even harrowing) film comes off as little more than a jaunty field trip for some old guys pretending to be soldiers. It\u2019s much more Stripes than The Longest Day; most of the drama, suspense, or the actual long-shot odds these men faced is inexplicably absent. And in the few instances when it does appear, it\u2019s so jarring your neck might just snap.\nEven the powerhouse cast, which includes Matt Damon, John Goodman, Bob Balaban, and Bill Murray, seem to be skating through the proceedings like they\u2019re at a summer camp\u2014not on the run from Nazis. Sure, the story itself is interesting, but how Clooney and his band of brothers can take it and turn it into something so uneven is startling and, frankly, disappointing.\nCate Blanchett, playing French curator Claire Simone, is the lone bright spot here, turning in a performance that actually looks like she cared.\nDon\u2019t cry for Clooney; he still has a better-than-average track record, and I imagine The Monuments Men will just be written off as a good idea poorly executed. Alas, though, that won\u2019t help put the ten bucks back in your pocket.",

        "title": "Atkinson: Can we trust web based surveys?",
        "raw_content": "Can we trust web based surveys?\nThe topic of web based surveys has been fermenting in background and now it's time for a tasting. One stimulus is Australia's federal election fever (over by the time you read this little contribution) which has embraced the web, and another is the Journal banding survey [1]. These are quite disparate topics, but the underlying technology is pretty much the same, and there may be some informative contrasts.\nFirstly, political surveys on the web. Take this well-crafted, 'good fun' example from the ABC, 10 Nov 2007 [2]:\nFormer Labor leader Mark Latham has called it a Seinfeld election, about nothing. Do you agree?\n\u2022 Yes, both parties are trapped in one upmanship and materialism.\n\u2022 No, Mark Latham is irrelevant and out of touch.\nUnderneath there is some standard HTML with lines like <FORM ACTION=\"/cgi-bin/common/voting/newpoll.pl\" METHOD=\"POST\"> and <INPUT TYPE=\"RADIO\" NAME=\"vote\" VALUE=\"Yes...\"> (that brings back nostalgic memories, I haven't written such stuff myself since about 1998). Upon submitting, I was told \"794 votes counted\" and that the Noes have it, 57% to 43% (somewhat exceeding the more familiar figures in \"two party preferred\" polls data :-) Because I do not have to be unbiased, I can say \"Well done ABC, better than some others!\" Numerous examples, some good, some bad, are easily found in the Australian media. For example, a website [3] associated with Channel 10 contained a survey activity investigating the question \"Are you a KEVIN07 True believer?\" Of the 8 agree/no vote items, the highest scoring item was \"I think Peter Garrett's bald head allows his ideas to come out quicker\", with 44 of the 62 responses agreeing. Meanwhile, Channel 7's website included an \"Election Poll\" question \"Did the first half of the election campaign change your views?\", with a four point scale, recording \"14372 votes since Nov 4 2007\" [4]. Channel 9's \"Passion Pulse\" website offered a daily quote, with 7 November's quote from John Howard, \"The Australian public believe that when it comes to controlling interest rates... the Coalition is a better bet than Labor\", recording 23520 votes, 46% strongly disagree/disagree and 52% agree/strongly agree. Then SBS weighs in with \"Who do you blame for the rise in interest rates?\" [5], where in a four item field \"The Government\" was a runaway winner for a change, scoring 41%, though as SBS didn't state the number of votes counted, we should scratch this entry.\nThe lovely thing about political and similar surveys conducted on the web by media organisations is that the results are almost irrelevant. The big thing is participation, engaging with your viewers or readers, cultivating their loyalty, providing a virtual social activity for them, and (hopefully) getting a larger number of respondents compared with similar surveys done by your media rivals. The question of \"trusting\" a web based survey is not really pertinent, the more appropriate measuring scale may be from \"very discouraging\" to \"very encouraging\", or from \"ratings disaster\" to \"ratings bonanza\", interpreted in a comparative perspective, i.e. against your rivals. The identities or \"demographics\" of the respondents do not matter, it's just the numbers that count.\nIn passing, we could note that in recent years technological advances have made things much easier for aspiring web based survey designers. You don't need to get up to speed on things like <FORM ACTION=\"/cgi-bin/common/voting/newpoll.pl\" METHOD=\"POST\">. For example you can use a free to the Internet facility such as SurveyMonkey (\"Online survey software made easy!\") [6] or PollDaddy (\"Create free polls anywhere online!\") [7], or you can run your own survey facility using open source software such as LimeSurvey (\"The Leading Open Source Tool for Online Surveys\") [8]. Much easier than it was just a few years ago (see, for example, the hassles faced by Carbonaro, Bainbridge & Wolodko, 2002 [9]).\nTurning to academic research surveys on the web, life is not that easy. The identities and \"demographics\" of the respondents do matter. Basically there are two types of approaches, one being to authenticate respondents, and the other being to maintain anonymity and use other techniques that enable the researcher to characterise or selectively limit the population being sampled. The first type, authentication of respondents, is illustrated very well by the widespread use of online, web based questionnaires for student evaluation of teaching [10]. Typically, these are unit or course based, and therefore access must be restricted to students enrolled in a particular unit or course, generally by using the same login name and password that a student has for other purposes such as accessing the university's learning management system. Procedural provisions for guaranteeing student anonymity, well-controlled, familiar, you can trust the results. However, the second type, respondents remaining anonymous, is liable to be more difficult. The Journal banding survey cited earlier [1] is a typical example, stating that:\n...your responses to this questionnaire will be anonymous. No information which identifies you in any way will be accessible to the researchers unless you choose to identify yourself in some other way.[1]\nThis is the point at which web based surveys become really interesting. Having no technologically based procedure such as login name and password that limits access to a specific and known population, how can the researcher know the nature of the population that is being sampled? If you don't know some of the basics, like who is in and who is not in, population size, and response rate, can you \"trust web based surveys?\" This phrasing reflects the title of an article by Gosling, Vazire, Srivastava and John (2004) [11], \"Should we trust web-based studies?...\". These researchers noted compelling benefits underlying increased interest in web based \"self-report questionnaires from self-selected samples\" [11], but with an important caution being raised:\nHowever, these benefits cannot be realized until researchers have first evaluated whether this new technique compromises the quality of the data.[11]\nAnother researcher, Schonlau (2004) [12], gives an explicit definition of the core point of contention, and a different cautionary phrase:\nWhether Web surveys will develop into mainstream survey research tools depends on the possibility of drawing inferences from convenience samples. Conventional survey sampling wisdom holds that inferences cannot be drawn from convenience samples, thereby negating their use - with the possible exception of pilot studies. Still, convenience samples can be used to conduct experiments within that sample...\nThe possibility of drawing inferences from convenience samples is a contentious issue among survey researchers. The excitement needs to be tempered with rational skepticism. [12]\nTo amplify the question raised in this column's title, how can we best ensure the quality of data obtained from self selected, anonymous, non-authenticated respondents? Fortunately, many investigators, particularly from the social sciences and health sciences, have published relevant results and recommendations for conducting and reporting web based surveys. An especially comprehensive checklist for authors, reviewers and editors was developed by Gunther Eysenbach, Editor-in-Chief for the Journal of Medical Internet Research [13]. Numerous researchers have compared the findings from surveys delivered by both conventional techniques and web based techniques. For example a Swedish group [14] undertook a\n...comparison of a 'gold standard' random selection population-based sexual survey (The Swedish Sexual Life Survey) with an internet-based survey in Sweden which used identical demographic, sexual and relationship questions, to ascertain the biases and degree of comparability between the recruitment methods. [14]\nThe phrase 'gold standard' is one I'll store in memory, for critiquing investigative methods when doing journal article reviews. In another example, Gosling et al (2004) [11] compared \"a new large Internet sample (N 361,703) with a set of 510 published traditional samples\". One of their cautions is notable: \"As with all research, the best studies will seek convergence across multiple methods.\" They concluded that\nOur analyses suggest that the samples gathered using Internet methods are at least as diverse as many of the samples already used in psychological research and are not unusually maladjusted. Internet samples are certainly not representative or even random samples of the general population, but neither are traditional samples in psychology. [11]\nWhilst this very small sample of research into the question of trusting web based surveys gives positive indications, it's not easy to relate readily to the Journal banding survey, named above as one of the stimuli for this column. The survey's public documentation and reports to date [1, 15, 16, 17] do not contain the details one would expect for a web based survey drawing upon anonymous, self selected respondents. For example, initial email publicity for the survey [15] indicated an intention to extend the invitation \"to other relevant national and international professional and research organizations related to education.\" HERDSA members received an emailed invitation via Roger Landbeck on 13 December 2006, but ODLAA and ASCILITE members appear to have missed out! [18]. Some universities reposted the invitation to internal emailing lists, but we don't know how many. Without a detailed record of the actual distribution of invitations, or access to self reported details such as membership of professional associations, it's difficult for readers to assess how well the sample represents the target population. This has been defined by DEST as \"Education Studies; Curriculum Studies; Professional Development of Teachers; Other Education\" [19]. Being in the latter group, specifically an editor for an \"Other Education\" journal [AJET, see 20], I'm a bit jittery about the way the RQF is ticking!\nCentre for the Study of Research Training and Impact (SORTI) (2006).

ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0065-230X(07)99002-8\nAbstract: Mouse embryonal carcinoma (EC) cells, also called teratocarcinoma stem cells, are nonpermissive for polyomavirus growth, whereas differentiated derivatives of the cells are permissive. Mutant viruses capable of growing in EC cells can be isolated. They have genomic alterations within the viral enhancer, which is required for viral gene expression and DNA replication. This viral regulatory region was considered as a potential probe for mouse cell differentiation. The 24-bp-long A element within the enhancer was identified as a minimum element, which also shows a lower activity in EC cells compared with the differentiated cells. Transcription factors PEA1/AP1, PEA2/PEBP2, and PEA3/ETS were identified as A element-binding proteins. All of them are absent in EC cells and induced to be expressed when the cells are differentiated. Although PEBP2 has a weaker transactivation activity compared with other two, it is essential for the enhancer function of the A element. Purification and cDNA cloning revealed that PEBP2 has two subunits, DNA-binding \u03b1 (PEBP2\u03b1) and non-DNA-binding \u03b2 (PEBP2\u03b2). PEBP2\u03b1 was found to be highly homologous to a Drosophila segmentation gene, runt, and a human gene AML1 that was identified as a part of the fusion gene, AML1/ETO (MTG8) generated by t(8;21) chromosome translocation associated with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). Core-binding factor (CBF), which interacts with a murine retrovirus enhancer, was found to be identical to PEBP2. runt, PEBP2\u03b1 and AML1 are now termed RUNX family, which are involved in cell specification during development. There are three mammalian RUNX genes, RUNX1, RUNX2, and RUNX3. RUNX1 is essential for generation of hematopoietic stem cells and is involved in human leukemia. RUNX2 is essential for skeletal development and has an oncogenic potential. RUNX3 is expressed in wider ranges of tissues and has multiple roles. Among others, RUNX3 is a major tumor suppressor of gastric and many other solid tumors. \u00a9 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.\nSource Title: Advances in Cancer Research",

        "title": "Los Angeles Auto Show Pushing Fuel Cells This Year",
        "raw_content": "This past week was the semi official start to the auto show season, first was Tokyo, then followed by Los Angeles. Sadly due to distance, time and work constraints, Pace Charging attended neither of the aforementioned. Fortunately the Miami Auto Show is in the dead of our winter where a long weekend in the sun would actually qualify as a potential work related excuse to get out of the cold. Regardless of our absence we took more than a passing glance at the auto headlines to follow the feedback. The New York Sunday Times Automobiles section had some pretty good coverage of the new cars being showcased, the front cover headline read, \u201cFuel Cells At Center Stage\u201d.\nFor years fuel cells have been on the minds of Greentech and environmental cheerleaders with the promise of absolute zero-emissions (maybe). The New York Times article was written by Bradley Berman, who has been both a Nissan Leaf driver and a test \u201cpilot\u201d for a fuel cell Toyota Highlander hybrid \u2013 so I think it\u2019s safe to say Bradley is a little more knowledgeable than the average bear on the subject.\nIn plain English, a fuel cell is a device that generates electricity by way of a chemical reaction between two electrodes (anode and cathode) and an electrolyte to carry the particles and a catalyst to speed the reaction \u2013 a hydrogen fuel cell when mixed with oxygen has water as it\u2019s emissions by product. Sounds great, however hydrogen is extremely flammable and oxygen supports combustion, little spark and, get the picture.\nWhile providing water as waste and the energy conversion being highly efficient, there are the obvious draw backs \u2013 the chemical volatility of fuel, the high pressure storage of the fuel (10,000 psi) and the very relatively very high cost of infrastructure build out \u2013 a single hydrogen refueling station costs between $1mm and $3mm.\nThese days it\u2019s safe to say that the media is always quick to pounce on and hype any new technology (or advances in old). Berman\u2019s assessment of fuel cells was overall guarded but positive. In closing the article he was good to quote Steven Chu, Obama\u2019s first term Energy Secretary,\n\u201cOne keeps poking at it,\u201d he(Chu) said. \u201cI don\u2019t think anyone is knowledgeable enough to say this technology for the next 10 years will not work.\u201d\nBerman ends, \u201cWith developments like more efficient fuel-cell stacks, higher pressure in tanks, greater range and lower cost compared with a decade ago, fuel-cell cars are getting a second look. Dr. Chu summed it up this way: \u201cI think automakers are saying, \u2018Look, hydrogen could be a long shot. But we\u2019re going to put a little bet on it, and we\u2019ll see.\u2019\u201d\nFull NY Times Article Here.",

        "title": "Study: Extreme Weather Costs U.S. $485 Billion Per Year | TIME.com",
        "raw_content": "Sticker Shock: What Extreme Weather Costs the U.S.\nMaddie Meek, 9, and her mother Dina Meek salvage what they can from a home after it was destroyed when a massive tornado passed through Joplin, Mo., on May 24, 2011. (Photo: Joe Raedle / Getty Images)\nIt\u2019s not hard to imagine the damage weird weather inflicts on our planet. Hurricane Katrina, for example, obliterated coastal communities, wiped out businesses and left hundreds of dead bodies in its wake. Quantifying the cost of such a one-off (we hope) event is pretty easy too: Katrina left us with a bill of $81 billion, according to the National Hurricane Center. But what about the year-in, year-out price tag of our increasingly volatile weather? It\u2019s a whole lot harder to calculate the cost of a chronic condition like that \u2014 or at least it was. Now a study by the National Center for Atmospheric Research estimates that the bottom-line cost of all the meteorological craziness is a staggering $485 billion per year in the U.S. alone, as much as 3.4% of the country\u2019s GDP.\n\u201cIt\u2019s clear that our economy isn\u2019t weatherproof,\u201d Jeffrey Lazo, the study\u2019s lead author, said in a statement. \u201cEven routine changes in the weather can add up to substantial impacts on the U.S. economy.\u201d\nThe fact that it took until now for someone to try to come up with a hard figure is a measure of just how daunting the number crunching can be. After all, when it comes to the weather yo-yo, a debit to one industry can be a credit to another. Take what happens in a snowstorm: air travel is disrupted and heating costs skyrocket, but ski resorts hit the jackpot. Or consider a dry spell: crop supplies dwindle, but construction projects are able to stay on schedule.\n(PHOTOS: Firestorm: Scenes from the Texas Wildfires)\nOther industries are affected in myriad ways. If you work in mining, you absolutely hate weird weather events, which eat up 14% of the mining economy each year, probably through several avenues: price fluctuations as demand for oil, gas and coal changes in tandem with the weather; threats to the security of mine water supply; and damage to mines and associated transport infrastructure. Agriculture cuts a close second at 12%; no surprise, crops deal with torrential rain and unreliable temperatures even worse than we do. The manufacturing, finance, insurance, retail and utilities sectors are also sensitive: people don\u2019t buy as many bikinis and bikes in rainy summers, and weather-induced power outages are a huge blow to electric-utility operations. But be thankful if you are in wholesale trade, retail trade or services. They are barely touched by the weather, partly because manufacturers cannot function without wholesalers no matter what the climate; and America still needs its health care and financial advice even when it\u2019s raining.\nLazo also found that states have different vulnerabilities to wild weather. New York was the most sensitive, with weather having a 13.5% impact on its gross state product, and Tennessee fared best, with only a 2.5% impact. While the researchers did not provide a concrete explanation for all the state-to-state differences, they noted that states with a larger gross state product, or larger economic outputs, were more weather-sensitive in absolute terms. (A 10% loss of economic activity in a big-revenue state is simply a lot more money than the same 10% in a smaller state.) Differences may also arise from the fact that coastal regions are hit hardest by tropical storms, while other areas are more susceptible to drought and severe winters. But the study noted that no one part of the country seemed radically more weather sensitive than any other part.\n(PHOTOS: Historic Floods in North Dakota)\nNo matter the regional differences, $485 billion is a lot of money, and it remains to be seen how effectively Americans will respond to the threat. If a recent survey by the HNTB Corp., an infrastructure contracting group, is any indication, we have a lot of work to do. More than two-thirds of Americans don\u2019t realize that flooding is the biggest natural threat to their home, for example; fewer than 1 in 10 have prepared their homes for flooding, and 63% refuse to pay more taxes for flood-protective measures in their neighborhoods.\nFloods are only one part of the weird weather picture, but HNTB flood management practice leader Rob Vining says the survey\u2019s findings are a perfect example of how we do a much better job of reacting to disasters than preparing for them. That may be human nature, but it\u2019s a part of our nature that we have to learn to fight. If a broken planet isn\u2019t enough to mobilize us, a flat-broke country ought to be.\nPHOTOS: Inside the Flood Zone\nPHOTOS: Tornado Rips Through Western Massachusetts",

        "title": "The Mayans and climate change | TIME.com",
        "raw_content": "The interior of Yok Balum cave in Belize, where scientists harvested a telltale stalagmite\nThere are a lot of things that didn\u2019t kill the Mayans: asteroid strikes, planet-wide quakes, global cataclysms prophesied by shamans and etched into ancient calendars. What did wipe them out was likely something that is far less mystical, and indeed is entirely familiar to modern civilizations: climate change. If you want a look at what we could face in the decades and centuries ahead, look at what one of the world\u2019s greatest cultures suffered a millennium ago. That\u2019s the conclusion of a newly released study and what it lacks in Hollywood-friendly drama, it makes up in sound \u2014 and scary \u2014 science.\nThe arc of the Mayan rise and fall is well known: The civilization first took hold in 1,800 BC, in the Central American region that now includes and surrounds Guatemala. It grew slowly until about 250 A.D. At that point, a great expansion of the culture \u2014 known to archaeologists as the Classic Period \u2014 began and continued to 900 A.D., yielding the architectural, political and textual artifacts that have so mesmerized scientists. But a decline began around 800 A.D. and led to a final collapse about 300 years later.\nThe Mayan arc was hardly smooth and steady, and there were periods of turbulence and decline even during the golden era. The great settlement of El Mirador, which once might have been home to 100,000 people, collapsed around 300 A.D, for example. From the fifth to eighth centuries A.D., there was an explosion of the rich tablet texts that provided so many insights into how the Mayans lived and worked. Suddenly, however, starting in 775 A.D., the number of texts began to plunge by as much as 50%, a bellwether of a culture that was declining too.\n(More: How the Drought of 2012 Will Make Your Food More Expensive)\nThere have been a lot of theories for what accounted for such cycles, with climate among the most-mentioned. The better the year-to-year weather \u2014 with plenty of rainfall and reasonably steady and predictable temperatures \u2014 the better crops do, and the more the culture and economy can expand. The texts have hinted at declines in productivity, perhaps climate-related, coinciding with generations of unrest, but there was never a precise way to confirm those writings. Analysis of lake sediments can yield a reliable reading of the levels of sulfur, oxygen isotopes and other atmospheric markers at various points in history, which reveal a lot about rainfall and other critical variables. But the Mayans themselves often unwittingly disturbed those sediments, with deforestation \u2014 including wide-scale burnings \u2014 and fishing.\nAnthropologist Douglas Kennett of Penn State University, leader of an international team of researchers from the U.S., Belize, Switzerland, Germany and elsewhere thus decided to look at another, less vulnerable, source of evidence: stalagmites in caves. Some of the rainfall absorbed by the ground over the course of centuries will seep into caves and be incorporated into the drip-drip-drip of wet limestone that causes stalagmites to form. Oxygen isotopes entrained in the rain can provide an indicator of how wet a region was at any one point in history.\nAs Kennett and his colleagues reported in the current issue of Science, they focused their investigation on a cave in the jungles of Belize, which is within 1.5 km (.9 mi.) of one significant Mayan site and 19 mi. (30 km) of three others. In 2006, the scientists harvested a 22-in. (56-cm) stalagmite from deep within the cave. Knowing the rate at which stalagmites develop, they could calculate that the top 16.3 in. (415 mm) of it had been growing continuously since 40 B.C. Every 0.1 millimeter \u2014 or about four one-thousandths of an inch \u2014 corresponded to about 0.5 years. That\u2019s an awfully fine-grained way to look at history, and the analysis led to some awfully detailed conclusions.\n(More: Why the Drought Won\u2019t Be Getting Better Anytime Soon \u2014 And Why This One Won\u2019t Be the Last)\nDroughts lasting at least a few decades each occurred from 200 to 1100 AD, and repeatedly coincided with struggles and upheaval in the Mayan culture. There were dry periods in the 640 to 660 window, for example, and there was also a lot of warfare in that period, which makes sense for a culture fighting over dwindling resources. Droughts from 820 to 870 similarly were associated with an outbreak of fighting, as well as the disintegration of local polities, or ruling bodies. The decline in historical texts began not long before another period of severe drying, and the collapse of the Mayan culture itself, directly corresponds to the most severe period of drying, from 1020 to 1100.\nBroadly, explains Kennett, the most generous period of rainfall during the millennium or so the Mayans thrived was from 450 to 660. \u201cThis led to the proliferation of cities like Tikal, Copan and Carasol,\u201d he says. \u201cThe new climate data show that this salubrious period was followed by a general drying trend\u2026that triggered a decline in agricultural productivity and contributed to social fragmentation and political collapse.\u201d\n(More: When the Rains Stop)\nThe cause of the climate upheaval that claimed the Mayans was not, of course, human activity, since their culture thrived and died long before the industrial age. Instead it was caused by the combined effects of El Ni\u00f1o events and changes in the northeast and southeast equatorial winds known as the intertropical convergence zone. \u201cThe preceding conditions stimulating societal complexity and population expansion helped set the stage for later stress on [Mayan] societies and the fragmentation of political institutions.\u201d\nThis should not give comfort to the dwindling band of modern-day climate-change deniers likely to take the study as proof that the planet\u2019s current climate woes are merely natural fluctuations. The Mayan drying trend played out over centuries, after all. What we\u2019ve been experiencing is the more abrupt, short time-scale variety, a phenomenon that was first foreseen in climate models nearly 40 years ago, and has been unfolding pretty much on schedule and as predicted. The Mayans had no such power to forecast events and certainly couldn\u2019t correct them. We can do both, and the lesson of the study is that we may pay mightily if we choose to take no action. No culture, as the vanished Mayans so starkly illustrate, is too big to fail.\nMore: Butterflies Moving North to Escape Climate Change",

        "raw_content": "by toucana on November 7th, 2018, 4:05 pm\nPresident Trump has fired Attorney General Jeff Sessions.\nRe: Trump Fires Sessions\nSince Kansas just rejected him for governor I'm sure that eminent voting fraud expert Chris Kobach will be on Trump's short list for new AG.\nSomething strange. In the small town I am in, there is actually a HUGE (considering the population size) protest planned today over this. We rarely have protests in this town, even all the massive ones over the past two years we didn't have anything in my town.\nwith local hosts setting the exact time in each location. There are already more than 300,000 people signed up to attend more than 900 events scheduled across the country!\nhttps://www.trumpisnotabovethelaw.org/event/mueller-firing-rapid-response/search/?s=0&source=GREENPEACE\nby zetreque on November 9th, 2018, 12:24 am\nApparently the guy who organized the satellite protest here used to work for the defense department a long time ago. It was more of a question and answer thing than a protest. I always find it funny that people organize protests but do them in locations where no outsiders even know what the protest is about and no news media is ever told about the protests to cover it.\nPeople drive by are are like \"ok there is a group of people here\"\nor \"ok these people are upset about something, no idea what but good for them\"\nThis one tonight here wasn't even along a street let alone a busy street.\nby TheVat on November 9th, 2018, 11:23 am\nWe had a peaceful assembly in Rapid City, though turnout maybe was reduced by a 15 F/-9.4 C temperature and a stiff breeze. I will go out in any weather, but even I found it a bone chilling ordeal to just stand there. A march would have been a little more warming. Placards waved, supporting motorists honked as they passed, lots of visibility at the city's main intersection. Didn't see media, for this one. We had great turnout for the march early last Spring, after the mass shooting in Florida, and media coverage. Which was enhanced by hostile biker rednecks roaring by and yelling \"come and get them [their guns], fuckers! \" For some reason, they thought universal background checks for gun purchases would result in door to door search and seizure of their weapons.\nby hyksos on November 9th, 2018, 12:16 pm\nIt might be time to reflect about the history of the office of the President. What was the original conception for a POTUS in American government? How does it differ from a \"Prime Minister\"? What year did the POTUS suddenly gain the power to willy-nilly fire Attorney Generals and willy-nilly appoint a new one on a dime? Did this happen some time after WW1? ( Perhaps during the Wilson administration or something? )\nDeeper questions: How could a democracy with a 3 coequal branches have given rise to someone like Donald Trump?\nIt might be a little bit early to start asking these questions, but I feel like we are on a fast-track to replace Ginsburg. After Ginsburg is out, the LEGISLATIVE BRANCH will have fallen under the spell of the Oval Office. The Kavanaugh-Gorsuch nexus will decide that a \"sitting president cannot be indicted\". Then we will be slingshotted into a criminal tyranny.\nWhat year did the POTUS suddenly gain the power to willy-nilly fire Attorney Generals and willy-nilly appoint a new one on a dime?\nThat would be never, on the second part. The Constitution designates the AG as a \"principal officer\" of the US government and therefore requires that appointments are made with the advise and consent of the Senate. The Constitution has never specified causes for firing, however, leaving that to the POTUS's discretion. It has never gone to SCOTUS. Could be political fallout for Trump, however, if he is firing Sessions simply because he did recuse himself. It was a lawful and ethical recusal, and so did not in any way manifest incompetence in the duties of AG.\nby toucana on November 10th, 2018, 5:08 am\nMatthew Whitaker who has just been installed as the acting US Attorney General by Trump was a paid advisory member of the board of a fraudulent Florida based company who were shut down and fined $26 million by the FTC last year.\nhttps://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/nov/09/matthew-whitaker-acting-attorney-general-wpm-scam\nAccording to the Guardian article, the company called World Patent Marketing were a massive invention marketing scam who specialised in swindling US veterans out of their life savings. Thousands of their victims, many of them veterans, including some who were disabled, lost millions of dollars in total in the WPM scam.\nWPM promoted itself as a champion of those who served in the military. \u201cNot only do we honor the veterans and soldiers of our armed forces but we are also celebrating what they are protecting - the American dream,\u201d it said in a statement timed for Veterans Day 2014, which highlighted Whitaker\u2019s role at the firm.\nWhitaker publicly vouched for WPM, claiming in a December 2014 statement it went \u201cbeyond making statements about doing business \u2018ethically\u2019 and translate[d] those words into action\u201d.\nThe FTC legal action that shut down WPM and ordered them to pay almost $26 million in fines and compensation was a civil suit, but according to new reporting by Wall Street Journal last night, the FBI have an active criminal investigation in progress into the affairs of WPM.\nhttps://www.wsj.com/articles/fbi-is-investigating-florida-company-where-whitaker-was-advisory-board-member-1541799564\nThe criminal investigation into WPM is being conducted by the Miami branch of the FBI and the US Postal Inspection service. A telephone help line recording set up by the Justice Department to help victims of the WPM scam says (as of Friday) that this investigation is still active.\nby kudayta on November 10th, 2018, 5:14 am\nBraininvat \u00bb Fri Nov 09, 2018 9:49 am wrote: The Constitution designates the AG as a \"principal officer\" of the US government and therefore requires that appointments are made with the advise and consent of the Senate.\nI'm sorry for my pedantry here: But no, the Constitution does not designate the AG as a principal officer.\nArticle 2, section 2, clause 2 state that the President can appoint ambassadors, public ministers and consuls, judges to SCOTUS, and all officers of the United States not specifically mentioned (with the advice and consent of the Senate). The ones not specifically mentioned are established by law, meaning Congress has designated the AG as a principal officer and Congress can revoke that designation by law.\nThe Constitution doesn't specify a lot of things we take for granted today, it was intentionally left open-ended on the details because circumstances change and even the dudes in the 18th century knew that. The President can fire the AG anytime he wants, but a new appointee needs to be confirmed by the Senate unless they've already been confirmed to another post per the Federal Vacancies Act. That last point may be contested, because the Vacancies Act doesn't specify what to do if the officer is fired.\nThe problem with Sessions and Whitaker is that Whitaker has not been confirmed by the Senate to serve as a principal officer of the United States. And that's a violation of Article 2, the Federal Vacancies Act, and the DOJ's succession statute. It even violates Trump's own executive order on the topic.\nAnd I haven't even touched on the conflicts of interest that Whitaker has regarding Mueller's investigation.\nHi, Kudayta.\nNot sure Congress ever needed to designate the AG as a principal officer. As a high level cabinet post, I believe it was considered so, prima facie. If I had replaced designate with \"recognize\" my post would have better reflected my meaning.\nThe president\u2019s decision to appoint a Department of Justice employee who is not Senate-confirmed to act as attorney general under the FVRA raises an esoteric but unresolved constitutional issue. The Appointments Clause of the Constitution provides that the president can nominate and, \u201cby and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate,\u201d appoint officers of the United States. It further allows that \u201cCongress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.\u201d Consequently, while the clause permits Congress to authorize the appointment of \u201cinferior officers\u201d by the president alone or by the head of a department, it requires that any \u201cprincipal officer\u201d be appointed by and with the advice and consent of the Senate.\nThe attorney general\u2014a Cabinet-level official who is the head of a major executive department and reports only to the president\u2014is plainly a principal officer.\nhttps://www.lawfareblog.com/matthew-whi ... -questions\nI don't think Congress would have standing to revoke the AG as a principal officer. TBH, that strikes me as preposterous.\nhttps://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archi ... er/575770/\nFurther explanation on the constitutional matter.",

In The Beautiful Cure, leading immunologist Daniel M. Davis describes how the scientific quest to understand how the immune system works\u2014and how it is affected by stress, sleep, age, and our state of mind\u2014is now unlocking a revolutionary new approach to medicine and well-being.\nThe body\u2019s ability to fight disease and heal itself is one of the great mysteries and marvels of nature. But in recent years, painstaking research has resulted in major advances in our grasp of this breathtakingly beautiful inner world: a vast and intricate network of specialist cells, regulatory proteins, and dedicated genes that are continually protecting our bodies. Far more powerful than any medicine ever invented, the immune system plays a crucial role in our daily lives. We have found ways to harness these natural defenses to create breakthrough drugs and so-called immunotherapies that help us fight cancer, diabetes, arthritis, and many age-related diseases, and we are starting to understand whether activities such as mindfulness might play a role in enhancing our physical resilience.\nWritten by a researcher at the forefront of this adventure, The Beautiful Cure tells a dramatic story of scientific detective work and discovery, of puzzles solved and mysteries that linger, of lives sacrificed and saved. With expertise and eloquence, Davis introduces us to this revelatory new understanding of the human body and what it takes to be healthy.\nMore by Daniel M Davis\nIl gene della compatibilit\u00e0",

        "raw_content": "Caledonia protesters delay Winnipeg downtown traffic\nFP/Drum Staff\nThe First Perspective/The Drum: http://www.firstperspective.ca\nWINNIPEG -- Four-dozen demonstrators showed their support for Six Nations Mohawks on Friday morning by partially closing a Winnipeg bridge prior to police intervention.\nThey closed off the right hand lane on the Midtown bridge for a very short period of time \u00ad likely less than a minute or two \u00ad before police, who were stationed nearby, moved in and ordered the demonstrators off the roadway portion of the bridge.\n\"Nobody got arrested and nobody got hurt, so we will live to fight another day,\" said Peter Kulchyski, who was carried off the traffic portion of the bridge by three members of the Winnipeg police.\n\"I think it went pretty good considering people were not trained properly,\" said Kulchyski, an Aboriginal studies professor who is on sabbatical and was acting as picket captain.\nHe was a veteran of protests dating back to the 1970s, but many of the demonstrators were new to this type of activity. With more experience, they could have held up traffic a while longer, he explained afterward.\nThe evening before, when planning strategy, they decided their goal would be to slow traffic but leave one lane open while pamphlets were passed to drivers and passengers in other lanes. During the demonstration, police ordered the picketers onto the sidewalks and walkways, saying loudly that they were doing this to keep demonstrators from being hit by vehicles.\nAfter the police intervened, the demonstrators mostly confined themselves to the sidewalks and meridians, although occasionally they walked into the traffic lanes to hand out pamphlets while cars were stopped by red traffic lights. Close to a dozen cops watched.\nThe demonstration began around 8 a.m. and lasted about a half hour. Some motorists opened their car windows to take the pamphlets that were being handed out, but other drivers in the morning rush either refused to open windows or yelled at the demonstrators. Most of the verbal hostility occurred before police cleared the bridge.\n\"Some people did not want any information, but those who took it were supportive,\" said Shelagh Pizey-Allen, who estimated that 30-50 motorists took her pamphlets.\nWhen the demonstrators returned to their drum circle on grass near the foot of the bridge there was general discussion of participation in future events. Heather Lightning, one of the organizers, said the extent of future actions would largely depend on what happens at the Caledonia camp site near Hamilton.\nLightning said the First Nations organizations in Manitoba haven't been active on the issue. That is why individual citizens \u00ad both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal \u00ad decided to act. \"The chiefs' organizations in the province haven't done anything,\" she said.\nThe only chief at the demonstration was Chief Terry Nelson of the Roseau River First Nation. Speaking prior to the demonstration, he said that it was a mistake for First Nations organizations, like Union of Ontario Indians, to tell people to stay away from the Caledonia site saying that they didn't want people going into an area that could be unsafe.\nUOI had called for cooler heads to prevail, but Nelson said the Native people who were standing up for their rights were not responsible for cranking up tensions. \"They should be condemning the police and courts.\"\nHe also said that people across the country would respond with railway blockades if the police or military move against the Six Nations camp at Caledonia and kill people.\nThe demonstration held Friday morning (April 29) is among a series of events being held across the country to show solidarity with the Six Nations and to deter governments and police from using force to evict demonstrators at a sub-division construction site at the town of Caledonia.",

He believed his job of \"cooling things out\" so formal negotiations could begin was over.\nBut a sense of optimism for the first time since the barricades went up in April turned sour.\n\"I don't know how this misunderstanding grew,\" Peterson said. \"It was all going wonderfully.\"\nThe barricade was a major irritant to the community and its removal was supposed to be a sign of good faith.\nPeterson said he had hoped the situation had turned.\n\"What I wanted Caledonia to represent is a new approach to problem solving, as a monument to co-operation, not to violence, evil or to some mistake that stains everybody forever.\"\nTo Trainer, the community sentiment over the barricade was not hard to understand.\n\"The people who are the non-natives have done nothing wrong,\" she said. \"They paid for these roads and yet they're not allowed to use them.\"\nAlong with frustration over the road blockage, there is also concern about some of the area's other land.\nNative protesters have been occupying a 40-hectare piece of land slated for a housing development since Feb. 28, saying it is rightfully theirs.\nThey say they agreed to lease the property for a road in 1835, and disagree with government arguments that it was later sold to the Crown.\nFederal and provincial negotiators have agreed to discuss the issue.\nTrainer said that because of this, questions about land rights now affect residents all along the Grand River.\n\"This issue covers everyone along that six miles,\" she said.\n\"Whether you've lived here eight years or are on your 5th generation, the question people are asking is: If they can open up this land in Caledonia, what about yours and George's and Frank's?

        "raw_content": "Health, Like Everything Else is Holistic - Not Allopathic | Like any ecosystem, our bodies host trillions of bacterial cells that affect our everyday health\nBeing healthy is of primary importance to most people. Who doesn't want vitality and a long productive life free of debilitating disease?\nUnfortunately the clarity afforded the average person regarding what health really is, and how we can attain it is very poor. In our modern world of experts and limited time, many of us simply do not have the proper context to understand what our bodies are, and how we can take care of them properly. We need only look out into the world, at the present state of humanity to see this.\nIn our modern age we are conditioned to think disease is a random occurrence, that our bodies are destined to slowly deteriorate, and that cancer is an eventuality. The medical industry is an Allopathic institution. It does not understand interconnectedness. As such, a drug or treatment may attempt to solve a sore throat with antibiotics, and in turn destroy the immune system, leaving it susceptible to many other diseases in the process. We take 1 step forward and 10 steps backward.\nMany of us develop habits in life which counter our goals for being healthy, and when we reach for answers, there are a whole host of medical quacks muddying the waters. I hope to bring some clarity to the situation by revealing what I have come to know over the years, in a simple and easy to understand way. There is a very simple philosophy behind being healthy; Holism and the recognition of interconnectedness.\nThere are deeply embedded Natural Law principles at work within truly healthy practices, the phrase: As Above So Below, As Within So Without, perfectly describes our relationship to the environment and good health. Organic Food, Earthing, Probiotics and clean toxin free water all are working to restore the harmony between ourselves and the world, and emphasizes a key concept behind good health; Holism.\nAs Without - The Environment\nWithin the past 10 years, more research has hit the mainstream revealing our bodies are far more interconnected to the environment than previously thought, yet this key point has been overlooked by the medical profession. There are 10 trillion cells within our bodies and only 5% of them are 'human.' What this means is that our human cells literally coordinate an entire community of other microbial life - like a Conductor in a Symphony. It is that coordinating ability which slowly gets destroyed by modern habits, from the individual, all the way up to society's' treatment of the environment. In essence this coordinating ability is the immune system, and as we'll see it need to be well learned for proper function.\nThe food we eat has a total effect on our overall health, slowly changing our internal ecosystem to either support longevity and harmony, or cause deterioration. Dr. Max Gerson developed a treatment in the 1930's, successfully curing thousands of people. He often said, the Earth is our external immune system, affecting our health profoundly. What this means is that the quality of our food, how it was grown, and the diversity of microbial life that was used to grow it, all affects health. There is a vast amount of research available suggesting many of the crops used in our modern day world have become denatured and lack the diversity needed to support health. Organic Food is far more nutrient rich than conventionally raised foods because the whole ecosystem must be healthy in order to grow the food.\nConventional and GMO crops use chemical fertilizers, pesticides and even genetic manipulation as an attempt to hermetically seal the crop from the environment itself; an Allopathic philosophy. Monocrops are not found in nature, instead nature produces holistic systems which work together to maintain overall health of all the organisms in the system; not just one.\nIn nature, where the best quality food can often be found, the environment acts as a holistic system, working to produce the right conditions for a healthy plant. Permaculture acknowledges this principle of holism. Often healthy plants are surrounded by other plants which work together to stave off commonly known pests. If holistic systems worked well for the whole of Earth history, why would monocropping be better? It isn't, and any honest monocrop farmer will tell you, it takes a tremendous amount of energy and resources to do what nature does seemingly with no effort. In this sense, Permaculture is not only the best way to produce nutrient rich food, it is also the easiest.\nAs the saying goes: work smart, not hard. A well developed permaculture farm requires a fraction of the maintenance of monocropping, with a far more productive yield. And there is another benefit. Instead of the environment becoming more denatured over time, it gets more healthy over time, unlike monocropping which requires rotation to heal the soil, and artificial fertilizers to replace what was lost.\nThe key point here, is that over time we slowly destroy natures ability to grow healthy food using an Allopathic Philosophy. Each generation becomes more week and disease prone, requiring stronger pesticides and fertilizers as time goes on. This same concept applies to the human eco system, and each generations health is directly related to how healthy the previous generation was.\nLets apply this idea of holism to the human ecosystem, our bodies. Epigenetics is the study of genetic expression, which genes are 'turned on' and why. Bruce Lipton is a well known source of information, conclusively demonstrating that genetic expression is a product of the environment, unlike the modern day belief that our genes are hardwired from birth. These environmental factors include the material within the body - what we eat - as well as the emotional conditions from our beliefs and mental activities.\nEssentially, genes are switched on when an environmental condition within the body sends signals to the cells via the cell membrane. This information passes into the cell and is received by the nucleus which is the storehouse of our genetic material. The vast majority of DNA within the human genome is found within other organisms, the so called 'junk dna,' and is inactive. But if certain conditions arise, they can be activated, affecting our health as a result. Hence, stress and a poor diet lead to disease and bad health.\nTaking this even further, when a child is conceived, the present state of epic genetic activity is transferred to the developing fetus during conception. This is what gives rise to familial disease factors, which have confused modern medical professionals into thinking our genetic compliment is hardwired. During development in the womb, the environment within the mother's body, her store of microbial life, is transferred to the child, and literally gives it the building blocks of microbes to make the body. This is where we get the other 95% of microbes which make up the human organism.\nIf health is poor in the parents, this will affect their genetic expression, which will be passed down to the child. In this sense, parents are the farmers whose habits determine the health of the fruit of their union; a child. As a result of progressive destruction of the environment and poor health habits maintained for thousands of years, the quality of human health has degraded greatly since the time we walked out of nature and into a civilized lifestyle.\nInformation and the Immune System\nThe immune system, the mechanism which unifies all of our bodies various functions, producing overall health. It can be likened to a database of knowledge, determine how each of our bodies system will work when something from the external environment enters our internal environment.\nEven the defunct Medical Institution acknowledges that our immune systems have the capacity to store knowledge. Vaccination is based on the idea we can expose our bodies to a pathogen, which will develop an immunity to it, preventing future disease. While vaccination has been widely accepted as proven science, there is a great deal of flawed concepts within vaccination philosophy. I won't attempt to debunk every point offered in this article, but as a result of understanding what the immune system really is, it should become clear how faulty the vaccination school of thought is.\nThere are many systems in the body, like the lymphatic system, which function to identify what substances are, so the body can produce the right compliment of compounds to process them. Eating food is an excellent example of this. The mouth and esophagus have several different lymphatic systems which identify substances in our food. Smell and Taste senses work using specialized cells called chemoreceptors, which analyzed the chemical makeup of our food much like 2 pieces of a puzzle fitting together.\nThis is an extremely precise mechanism, with millions of specialized receptors designed to locate specific chemical compounds and pathogens. In food there are thousands of different substances, which when combined in the right way, produce the overall sensation of taste or smell. The really amazing part, is that this extremely precise chemical analysis is transferred to our bodies various systems, preparing the perfect batch of enzymes and compounds needed to digest the food. Coffee is an excellent example of this. Caffeine takes approximately 4 hours to take full effect in our bodies, yet even the smell of coffee can cause us to feel its effects; a type of placebo reaction. This is because our immune system has detected the unique chemical signature of the coffee, and based on past experiences, prepare the body for its consumption.\nJust like we learn to read a language slowly by studying the symbols and training our minds, the immune system learns about the environment by what we eat and drink, developing processes for the things it encounters. As a result, if we never teach the immune system about the environment, then when we encounter something unfamiliar, it over reacts, causing the fever response. A fever is an extreme reaction for the body, a type of last resort, where it changes the whole environment of the internal ecosystem, as an attempt to purge a foreign invader it lost control of.\nImmunity to a disease is a learned response. The body has a working knowledge of what the pathogen is, and response to it before we feel symptoms. A cold floating around the office makes many people sick, but after someone has gone through it, they can be exposed to other sick people without risking reinfection. This is an example of a learned response. Its not that the pathogen is magically whisked away from our bodies like a force field, its that we can react faster and more efficiently to deal with the invader. Now this is where it gets really interesting.\nEducating The Immune System\nThere are several different ways to teach our bodies about the environment. Vaccination is like using a sledge hammer, yes we may have hammered the nail into the wall, but we destroyed the wall in the process. Enter Probiotics and Living Foods.\nSince our bodies are primarily composed of microbes, we can learn from the external ecosystem by consuming living foods. Modern day food production is influenced by this same Allopathic Philosophy, that everything must be cooked, sanitized and hermetically sealed. As a result when we finally consume the food it has nearly no living properties. Enzymes and microbes (probiotics) which are essential to nutrient uptake, and digestion, are destroyed by heating them over 50 degrees celsius, 120 degrees fahrenheit. Heating food over the boiling point of water also chemically changes the compounds into toxins called Heat Induced Food Toxicants. What this means is all of the information which is stored in the food, all the immuno knowledge from the environment it was grown in is lost.\nTo further emphasize this point, let's consider breast milk. After a baby is born it's immune system is largely a blank slate, it has not learned about the environment yet. Mothers milk is widely known for its health properties, and is a storehouse of essential vitamins, minerals and nutrients. But there is something else is in breast milk that is not so well know; microbes and antibodies.\nThe living aspects of breast milk, most importantly the collective store of immuno knowledge within the mother's body, is literally transferred to the child during feeding. The child's immune system, via the digestive tract, identifies and absorbs the microbes within the milk, integrating them within the body. Additionally, the antibodies from the mother are decoded by the receptors in the lymphatic system, transferring that knowledge to the baby. This process of information transference continues for at least two years after the child is born. Breastfed children are more intelligent, healthy and lead more productive lives as result.\nThe key concept here is that our bodies come with systems specifically designed to gain knowledge about the environment, from the things we consume. Eating raw living foods, literally transfers the immuno knowledge within that food to the body. The immune system is the whole human organism working to create overall health. And when we consume dead food, the ecosystem begins to get out of balance, which leads to an overproduction of certain types of microbes. Candida is one example of this.\nDead foods, high in sugar, slowly destroy the delicate balance of microbial life in our bodies, eventually causing an outbreak of certain types. This leads to a whole host of poor health conditions such as bad skin, hair loss, rapid aging, mental deterioration, bone loss and cancer. Eating poorly is a double edged sword, as the ecosystem is destroyed and immuno knowledge is never gained.\nRaw milk, even from cows, helps us restore the immune function within the body by giving it a crash course. But this must be matched with a diet that feeds our internal ecosystem what it needs to be healthy. Raw foods, and a diet rich in fresh vegetables and sprouted nuts, provide an excellent fertilizer for growing a healthy immune system. In this sense, the immune system like the garden of our bodies, and we are the gardner. What we eat, how much, and how often all play an essential role in tilling the fields of good health.\nKnowledge is Power, If Acted Upon\nIn summary, the consistent theme of all my research into health is holistic knowledge. In our modern world, we are trained to eat food for emotional satisfaction and temporary gains, at the cost of longer term health. We unconsciously reach for things that taste good as the only thing of value when choosing what to eat. By developing a conscious awareness of the dynamics in our bodies, and how they work, we can begin the process of rationally choosing the best food for health.\nThis brings me to my last point; food addiction. I have redefined addiction to mean any habit or behavior which attempts to bring emotional stability, as a result of incomplete knowledge and action. In this sense, modern day eating habits have little to do with providing health, and more to do with feeding our addictive tendencies. The food industry knows this very well, and has been manipulating the denatured food it provides with chemical such as MSG to create a dependency. Sugar is another additive in food which literally creates an addiction cycle within the brain.\nThe average person eats a high sugary diet with no living properties, creating a body which is overrun by harmful bacterial balances. They feel low energy, poor concentration and deteriorating health as a result. The cure is simple, but requires strength of will.\nThe reason we crave these poor foods is we desire emotional satisfaction. Consuming food stimulates us much in the same way that sex does, and can be thought of as a tantric experience. As a result, we must begin the process of expanding our desires to be more active and creative in our lives. Lethargic habits, lead to low dopamine levels, which usually causes us to 'get the muchies,' a way of releasing the feel good neurotransmitter.\nProper health is therefore is changing one's beliefs and educating one's self about what healthy eating is. Then we can start the process of stimulating ourselves mentally with activities such as yoga, exercise, and walking in nature; Earthing. Rarely do people who are impassioned and lively reaching for munchies. The truth is in our modern world we use food as a supplement for an active, creative and holistically productive life.\nAs such becoming healthy is more than just eating a salad and drinking raw milk. It, like everything else we have discussed here, is a holistic process, a mind body soul interaction. The more we are able to feel bliss and satisfaction from our creative powers being used, the less we will reach for food and drugs to satisfy our emotional needs.\nI hope my efforts to communicate some of these ideas were successful. Health of mind body and spirit is one of my passions, and I have learned a great deal from the research of others. Hopefully I have added to the discussion.\nThe human body contains trillions of cells and not all of them are human; in fact, many of them are microbial, organisms which are so minuscule that the human eye cannot detect them.\nMicrobes are made up of bacteria, archaea, fungi, protists and viruses, each of which have their own set of unique genes.\nTogether, these microbes are considered to constitute the \"human microbiome,\" a term that is still relatively new but is being used more frequently as research continues to emerge in this field of study.\nThe human body plays host to trillions of microbes that all play a fundamental role in many life processes. Scientists are beginning to learn that the collection of microbes that constitute the human microbiome are not random and are likely set up to complement each other and the human host, as described in a report from the American Academy of Microbiology.[PDF]\nHundreds of thousands of different types of microbes exist in the world, but only several hundred of them live on humans. Microbes are found all over the body, including on the surface of the skin, in pores and sweat glands, and in the linings of nasal passages, lungs, and digestive and urogenital tracts.\nThe body's various microbiomes play a crucial role in health and disease\nUnderstanding the way the microbiome plays a pivotal role in health and disease is very young science; however, research indicates that this ecosystem is very important to our overall health.\nWhile there is not yet any evidence indicating that certain mixtures of microbes are responsible for causing specific diseases, research does suggest that they likely play an important factor, one that may have been previously ignored.\nA disturbance in the microbial \"community\" may contribute to the onset of diseases. Such disturbances could be caused by a number of things, one of them being antibiotics.\nFor example, antibiotics can alter the gut's natural microbiome, which may result in uncomfortable symptoms such as diarrhea and inflammation, and even set the stage for infections of such pathogens as Clostridium difficile, a bacterium that's often accompanied by fever, abdominal pain and diarrhea.\nAsthma, diabetes, obesity, cancer and heart disease have all shown to be influenced by the microbiome. While the gut microbiome is widely known for its influence on health and disease, other microbiomes such as in the mouth, skin, vagina, lungs and stomach are also considered influential.\nWhere do we get our microbiomes?\nMost of the microbial cells living on our bodies come from other humans. Newborns are coated with microbial cells when born vaginally. Infants born via C-section receive their microbes through human touch, both from the mother and contact with other humans.\nIt's unclear if the mode of birth has permanent effects on the adult microbiome, but scientists do think early changes have lasting effects.\nInfants are also exposed to microbes through breastfeeding. In addition to providing important nutrients, breastfeeding transfers many different kinds of microbes that populate the baby's gut and help build the immune system.\nThe partnership between microbes and different forms of life\nHumans aren't the only ones with a microbial community, as they exist nearly everywhere in nature including the soil, the ocean and in plants and animals. The partnership that microbes have with plants and animals dates back billions of years where scientists believe microbes existed in every possible ecological niche.\nPreviously, knowledge of bacterial diversity was limited to 5,000 different species; however technological advancements have led scientists to estimate there to be at least 1 million different species of bacteria.\nThis diversity is the result of more than 3 billion years of evolution, during which time bacteria learned to exist and thrive in nearly every type of environment.\nAs scientists continue to unlock the secrets associated with microbes and their hosts, we're sure to gain an even better understanding of the importance of natural health. Making sure not to disturb natural cellular\nhttp://www.naturalnews.com/049432_microbiota_gut_flora_bacterial_ecosystem.html\nLabels: disclosure , fraud of the system , Health , hidden technology , Science , science conspiracy , self education , self healing",

        "raw_content": "Well, it's happening. Currently, it looks like FOX is renegotiating the comics licence with IDW and this five issue arc is conceivably the final set of TXF comics from this publisher.\nWow, some move. This may be a stupid question but do we know anything about Carter's politics? I know he ran a surfing magazine so I can guess but from what I've seen he's always steered clear of commenting directly on it.\nCarter is a liberal liberal. I've seen an old interview where he claims to be more in the center, but the same interview also claimed that government distrust is a liberal mindset, so I think their political scale was broken.\nHis politics aside....what do Mulder and Scully have to do with mundane political issues? Even if Trump were the fascist mastermind that people paint him to be (and he's not, he can't get anything done even with control of Congress), that's not even their area of expertise. For it to be an X-File, he'd have to be an alien or a werewolf or working with aliens and werewolves.\nOr is it going to be a straightforward \"This is more important than X-Files! This is about America!\" kind of thing?\nThey'll probably make it about the Trump admin covering up Aliens or something. If they do take on other stuff (eg Policies, the Russia stuff etc), I think they'll get a surge of PR and praise, but my hunch is the feeling over time might be that it ultimately veeers too much into a territory folks don't think the X-Files should be operating in.\nThe only concrete piece of info I have about this upcoming story arc -- it involves aliens having infiltrated the Trump administration.\nChris Carter isn't really involved in the comics. For the comic book SEASON 10, Carter consulted on the first five issues. Writer Joe Harris wanted the villain of SEASON 10 to be a teenaged William with telekinetic and psychic powers, taking control of the Colonists and Rebels with a new faction called the Believers. But Carter vetoed this, saying he wanted William saved for THE X-FILES III if it ever happened.\nCarter also provided some guidance so that Harris could steer clear of any plots that would contradict a future feature film finale. But we got a TV series instead, Carter had a different vision for THE X-FILES on TV and the comics became part of an alternate universe that wrapped up (somewhat abruptly) before the comics shifted to the Revival universe (with the same writer). While Carter's name is on the covers and he has an Executive Producer credit and he reads the comic scripts, he's not driving it creatively.\nAnyway. Joe Harris and I are of very similar mindsets politically and creatively -- his X-FILES comics are essentially the X-FILES version of SLIDERS REBORN (obsessive love letters to the legacy and history of an unfinished TV show), right to the point of using the same title in our stories where icons of 90s sci-fi TV take on Donald Trump.\nSo, keeping with that, I imagine a situation where Mulder's old friend, Senator Matheson, recruits Mulder and Scully to investigate potential sleeper agents in the White House administration. It's revealed that the sleepers are actually the fire aliens introduced in THE X-FILES #1 (2017) that have been taking over human hosts for some unknown endgame, and Mulder and Scully find themselves forced to protect Trump and his staff from an enemy only they can fight, wrestling with the conflicts between their beliefs and their duty.\nContinuing with the conceit that Harris and I think the same, I'd never have the sliders -- or Mulder and Scully -- defeat Donald Trump. In fact, I think it would be critical that Quinn, Mulder and Scully end completely beaten but score some sort of symbolic, moral victory.\nThanks for the info. It sounds interesting. I don't think it will piss anyone off, though it's clear with the Resistance title he's taking a subtle shot, and I would imagine Chris OK'd it.\nI once had heard a really good interview with Joe on one of the X-Files podcasts. Would you happen to have a link or know the podcast name of the latest interview you mentioned?\nhttps://www.ivoox.com/the-x-cast-89-joe \u2026 698_1.html\nI wonder how real life for the FBI will affect Mulder and Scully, although, to be blunt, Mulder and Scully and the writers ignored the FBI's mission, purpose, protocol and function so often, they might as well have been Agents Mulder and Scully of PHOENIX, KITT, UNIT, the Lightman Group, GI JOE, SHIELD or some other fictional organization.\nMidseason 2018!\nhttp://screenrant.com/x-files-2018-midseason-premiere/\nSo, we're coming up on the end of THE X-FILES comics where Mulder and Scully take on the Trump administration. Trump doesn't ever appear on the page -- he's heard in a phone call with a hilarious pastiche of his incoherent repetition of key words. The plot is that due to the White House's overall ineptitude, they've failed to notice that their staffers have been infiltrated and replaced by aliens plotting to bring the planet to nuclear war.\nOkay, I think that's fair.\nI'd assume Trump would be one of two things to The X-Files lore....some kind of alien masquerading as a President, aka an X-File himself. OR someone who is rabidly interested in the program, I mean, he's basically the editor of the National Enquirer.\nMy Struggle III...\nWTF did I just watch? It was like a film school project, made by the dumb kid in class. How many bad writing/directing cliches did Carter include here? It's like he was working from a checklist.\nA face full of *facepalm*\nPerhaps the most telling aspect of \"My Struggle III\" is how Mulder and Scully are taken to the hospital in dire straits, depart the hospital to engage in meandering drives here and there only to drive right back to where they started with the script trying to use voiceover and quick cutting to clumsily veil how nothing is happening. What we have here is Chris Carter having improvised himself into a brick wall: he scripted \"My Struggle\" to retcon the alien colonization.\nWhile the fifth episode of the season was filming, he hurriedly scripted the sixth episode, \"My Struggle II,\" in a mad dash of improvisation as well. Carter doesn't like to plan, instead writing to whatever his inclinations are; this is why his continuity across his series has been so full of holes and contradictions. His instinct was to bring about the Colonization event he'd teased for the first nine seasons of the show but through the Spartan Virus, then provide a cure for the virus, then end on a cliffhanger -- and now he must improvise a solution.\nHis solution is that the Spartan Virus being unleashed was a dream; that it was merely a vision of what will happen when the Smoking Man lets the virus loose. This makes no sense whatsoever; if the virus has been seeded, why is the Smoking Man holding back? Carter's only rationale: the Smoking Man needs William -- except he didn't in the vision, so how can the vision be trusted? What's happened here: Carter, as usual, does not want to lose the standalone monster of the week, so he decided to declare his end of the world scenario a prophetic hallucination, offer a shocking reveal about Scully's child -- and in between, he has the characters drive around in pointless circles.\nThere is no explanation for why Scully's medical condition ceases to be a concern by the end of the episode. There is no rationale for why Scully trusts her vision when the Spartan Virus clearly hasn't been unleashed. Once again, Carter has declared the end of the world is here -- but awkwardly taken a step back because he has another season of episode's to fill and more monsters of the week to write. So Scully recovers for no reason and offers that tired old chestnut that the answers lie in Mulder and Scully going through the non-myth-arc episodes. And the William revelation is a cumbersome effort to add consequence and weight to an episode that has none whatsoever.\nHonestly, I can't believe THE X-FILES is doing something so unbelievably lame as to declare \"My Struggle II\"'s cliffhanger to be a dream -- except I can because it reflects the same idiocy that had Carter do things like kill Mulder off and then bring him back to life in the silliest way possible or offer a date for Colonization that he unfortunately missed. Carter has often created massive problems without mapping out a solution before lensing his scripts and he's done it here once again.\nThe simplest way to deal with \"My Struggle II\" would have been to pick up two years later: the cure was mass produced and distributed, all is well, but Mulder and Scully are missing. Agents Miller and Einstein are investigating a monster of the week and caught in a deadly situation when suddenly, Mulder and Scully reappear to come to the rescue. Where have they been? They decline to explain and get on with the case of the week. It's not like Carter even enjoys these myth-arc episodes anyway; he clearly takes the most pleasure in the standalones. The only reason he perpetuates the myth-arc; he is trapped in this hopeless belief that if the myth-arc ends, the show ends.\nI think we know that's not the case. BUFFY wrapped up its myth-arc every year, as did ANGEL. SUPERNATURAL played out its five year arc and came up with a new one. But Chris Carter is still trapped in the 1990s and maybe he should have just stayed there because he's looking embarrassingly out of touch. Maybe he and Tim Kring should start a support group for TV writers who clearly have no idea what they're writing anymore.\nVery confusing, I will agree. The fact that the finale of the previous season is NOW a flashforward is incredibly head spinning. That being said, I will say that most people I know seemed to enjoy the premiere FWIW....\nIt's pretty fun being an outsider in the X-Files fandom. I just sorta watch the \"My Struggle\" episodes with a child-like \"Okay! I guess this is happening now!\" way. Jeffrey Spender shows up and I think \"Oh man, I thought he died at some point. Maybe I'll look that up on the X-Files wiki\". And so I do that and Jeffrey Spender's page is convoluted and it looks like he did die but then was horribly scarred but now is back to normal and I just go \"Okay, I guess this is happening now!\"\nCigarette Smoking Man is back and seems alive and healthy and has a new name now and I thought he'd died like five times before but I just smile and go \"Okay, I guess this is happening now!\"\nI watched My Struggle III having not seen a good chunk of the beginning of the series, a good chunk of the end of the series, and having forgotten huge blocks of the time when I watched the show religiously. I watched Season 10 but couldn't remember what the cliffhanger was. I just smiled like Sammy Jankis and went with the flow.\nThere are no continuity errors when I watch the X-Files because I don't remember enough and I'm not invested enough to worry about what's a continuity error. It ends up making the show a lot more watchable.\nI feel similarly, but I also read / listen to what a lot of hardcore X-Files fans say and can't say their hate is unwarranted. Some just want the mythology to go a certain way (eg less convoluted) others are incredibly offended by how My Struggle III ended.\nI thought the episode was entirely rushed from a pacing perspective and wayyyyyy too dense. It needed another 30 minutes. It was not good. BUT, I liked the twist at the end. I liked how they referenced an older episode of the X-Files. It gave me a payoff that made the episode overall entertaining. I was not offended by any of it. But I respect the position of those who are and can see why.\nEither way, I think there may be more too it -- and since they are moving to the MOW stuff until the finale, I think/hope people will be pleased by those stories. I've seen a couple of good reviews. As for the finale, I suspect their may be a twist.\nI just hate that the narrative has become \"Gillian doesn't want to do another X-Files\" / \"X Files creator says they won't do another season without her\" / \"This is the last season for X-Files\" etc etc when we basically just are one episode in. Let's enjoy this. And frankly, X-Files is or has the potential to be one of the shows on TV that we can connect with the characters and have a strong affinity for. It should not just be thrown away. Even if Gillian doesn't want to return. I don't think it has to have her.\nI do feel though that David was rough in finding the Mulder character in the first episode.\nI don't know that half an hour added to \"My Struggle III\" would have done anything but drag out the pointless car chases away from the hospital that lead right back to the hospital.\nI'm going to have to agree with ireactions on this one. I don't think the problem was that the episode was too dense. I think it was pretty much all fluff.\n\"This\" feels like an appropriate title for episode 2 of this season. It's like Glen Morgan just flopped his hands around a keyboard, printed whatever auto-correct typed up, and named it what it was.\nThe episode has no thrust. The action came to Mulder and Scully, rather than them going to the action. This is rarely a good thing for a series like this. There was no lead-in. We're just thrown into a story, and while I kept hoping that it would be revealed to be a work of genius as the story unraveled... it didn't. Scully is suddenly an action star, and Donald Trump now leads an elite team of Russians who work for an American mercenary company that's based out of Moscow, because... I'm assuming the tax incentives in Moscow are great? Except this group has existed for many years apparently, so the strained connection to the President seems a little awkward.\nThey did an episode where Langley was uploaded into a computer without referencing \"Kill Switch\", which was an episode from 1998 that dealt with the same concept.\nThe episode had more focus and better direction than last week, but it lacked an actual plot.\nGillian Anderson is probably smart for jumping ship. While we'd all love to see The X-Files resurrected in all of its former glory, the revival has never actually felt like The X-Files. When we think back on the series, how many of us will include anything that's happened since the show went off the air all those year ago?\nI hope the rest of this season is good. I really do. But it just isn't doing well so far. Chris Carter is not only a bad writer, he's done a horrible job at running this revival as a whole.\nI didn't think the episode was perfect but I enjoyed it. But I will never be a big critic of the show, I am just always happy to see it exist.\nNow that Gillian has made it clear she's done with Scully, I wonder what you guys think -- would you want to see it continue? I would, of course, even if it'd be a blow to the content. There's only one or two other tv shows I care enough to watch live. I love having it back. I think they can find there way if they keep it going but I'm not sure David or Chris would continue.\nI'm fine with seeing it continue without Gillian. I'm not okay seeing it continue with Chris Carter.\nI'd be okay with it being David Duchovny as a mentor to younger agents. I don't really see any point in the show continuing as it is now without Gillian Anderson. I'm also not sure the story would make sense, as things stand now, with Mulder but no Scully.\nI'd end it.\nI also think Carter is on record as saying that he's going to end the season on a cliffhanger either way. So look forward to that.\nMaybe I'll just skip the finale.\n... I don't believe.\nI don't believe Gillian Anderson. She's repeatedly claimed she was done with THE X-FILES; she said she was done in Season 7, again in Season 8. After I WANT TO BELIEVE, she said she was done with THE X-FILES on TV. She said she was done after Season 10. And now she's saying she's done after Season 11. She's said a variety of things: she wanted to spend more time with her daughter, she wanted to play other roles, she wanted to avoid a TV schedule -- but what she really wants, I think, is to get paid a fair wage.\nFOX offered her half of Duchovny's salary for Season 10 which pissed her off. Negotiations for Season 11 were contentious again. I think Anderson is fed up with the studio and the network, but if they start treating her with the respect she's earned, she'll come back.\nShe just won't come back if she has to battle and demand and pull and howl in order to get the same pay as Duchovny.\nSee, the way I've read the reports, it sounds like Anderson's people are just less demanding than Duchovny's, and that's more of a \"them\" problem than a \"studio\" problem.\nThey pushed for more money after learning that he was making more money, but that's probably because his people asked for more money in the first place.\nI'm not really sure what happened, but I have a lot of questions about it. She asked for more and she got more. So the question is, did Fox just run at David with more money, or did his people negotiate better than her people?\nBut yeah, I do think that if they upped her pay enough, she'd return. Hell, they could move production to the UK if they had to. There's no reason why they couldn't tell a few stories there.\nI've thought about this a lot myself... but Gillian keeps doubling down, especially at yesterday's event, that I don't think this is a negotiating tactic. The fact that it took them so long to be able to go ahead with a season 11 was a negotiating tactic.\nI just wish season 11 wasn't draped in negativity. People don't like what they have produced (fair). It's not coming back. Gillian doesn't want to do it again. Rather than getting to enjoy the thing while its still alive, everything has become about it's death.\nDavid made a good point yesterday, saying the X Files is essentially a frame. I agree with that and with so much bad stuff on air, I'd like to see FOX invest in the franchise long term. With enough trial and error you can find a rhythm and what works. Sometimes invention is messy, and they've had to experience that a bit since bringing it back. But it can be ironed out.\nWell doesn't Disney own it now? Wouldn't it be up to them if they want to bring it back or not?\nDisney bought the movie studio but FOX Network I believe is still separate, as is News Corp.\nThey didn't buy the network, but they did buy a lot of the properties (including the Simpsons, Family Guy, etc). Fairly certain X-Files would've been in that box.\nOoh. Maybe they can boot Chris Carter like George Lucas!\nThe X-Files is a great frame. If I were in charge, I would bring in a showrunner to at least co-run the show with Carter. An equal voice who could not be overruled. If Carter didn't like that, he could leave. Because he can't do the job.\nI would keep the known writers, but I would also fill out the writers room (which I'd actually have) with new writers. A lot of writers today grew up with The X-Files and know the tone of the show and what works. Let them work on it. I'd get rid of the Mulder and Scully clone agents that are on the new show, but bring in some new agents who could carry the show. Make Mulder a mentor or a source that they go to from time to time, but not the star of the show. We can't keep one foot in and one foot out like that. Maybe Skinner can stay.\nNew mythology too.\nI hadn't thought about the Disney side, but I wonder if that's a brand they even want to cultivate. I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't shelve a lot of the \"FOX\" stuff and try and build a softer image for the network. There's a ton of wiggle room between being not as edgy as FOX used to be and being edgier than ABC.\nI just have a feeling that, as soon as the purchase is done, Disney is gonna toss a lot of older/flailing properties in the trash. This is a potential one, especially if viewership isn't strong and costs are.\nHard to say. The X-Files is a known name that could make money. It also isn't super edgy or offensive (except for some bad writing), so I could see it being reworked. I could see some less marketable titles being tossed and forgotten though.\nI hate this whole deal.\nThey made less mythology this year than MOW. In fact, I think it's 8 MOW, two mythology. That's what people wanted. I think on balance, fans probably will like this season. The narrative is a bit different now because a lot of hardcore fans hated the premiere. But as this season wears on hopefully people will like what it delivers, and want to see if continue. Scully was a special character, so it might not be as great, but I think they can do fine MOW without her, too.\nI really enjoyed \"This,\" but it wasn't an episode of THE X-FILES as generally defined. Which is to say -- the average episode of THE X-FILES has Mulder and Scully being passive investigators in a world beyond human understanding or control. \"This\" shows Mulder and Scully as action heroes pursuing the conspiracy to stop it rather than investigating to uncover it and they're much more combat-proficient than ever. It's at odds with the majority of other episodes.\nOne in-universe possibility: the onscreen events of \"This\" could be a simulation.\nThe simulated Langley tells Mulder and Scully that he exists in a world of perfection in which all his wants and desires are met, but the artificiality has become maddening for him while Erica Price declares that few if any of the digital personalities ever discover their artificial existence.\nWhen Mulder and Scully are in the bar and narrowing down their investigation, the lighting around them darkens and dims to show them alone in shadow; neither of them react or seem to notice and it creates the sense that the world around them is a computer generated construct that's experiencing a service interruption.\nThere are also a number of errors throughout the episode that are clearly deliberate: Mulder refers to the National Security Agency as the NSI. Byers' headstone has a mis-spelled middle name, an error that writer/director Glen Morgan (the co-creator of the Lone Gunmen) would not make.\nThere is no explanation for how Langly created a cemetery based puzzle for a grave he didn't know he'd be buried in. At one point, Mulder is pretending to be handcuffed but raises his unbound hands in full view of a guard; it goes unnoticed.\nThe existence of a backup, unremarked upon until the final scene, is inexplicably never raised before then.\nThen there's Mulder and Scully's close relationship in \"This.\" In \"My Struggle II,\" Mulder didn't bother to call Scully or answer her when heading off to confront the Smoking Man. Previous episodes had shown him saddened by their breakup and withholding his feelings about William from her.\nBut \"This\" shows Mulder and Scully falling asleep on the sofa together and Scully refers to Mulder's house as \"our home.\" And then there's Mulder and Scully as seemingly invincible action stars.\nNoticeably -- the conceit that the digital personalities only go online when the real person has died doesn't make sense. There is no reason why the simulation and the real-world person could not co-exist.\nHowever, it's possible that the actual meaning is: the simulation only permits one instance of the digital personality at any given time to avoid conflicts and redundant processes, and the backups of the personalities are only activated if the current iteration is erased or otherwise ceases to function. Furthermore, the simulations may exist in sandboxed situations in multiple planes of digital reality.\nIs any of \"This\" actually happening? Or is it a digital dreamworld in which the simulated Mulder and Scully were given an existence in which their fondest desire -- a romantic relationship with endless cases to investigate together and forever -- was granted with reality bending at the seams in order to give them what they want? The fact that William is missing and the Lone Gunmen are still dead in their perfect world indicates that their greatest wish is to be with each other without anyone else in the way -- which is selfish but human.\nMoving on. \"This\" is an episode where Mulder and Scully are targeted by a technological phenomenon and act as action heroes in a sci-fi adventure as they go on the run from the authorities, storm the citadel of the conspiracy using subterfuge, weapons, deception and total confidence in their ability to topple any physical threat. It's strange because in the first nine seasons and two films, Mulder and Scully were hardly ever in combat situations and when they were, their attitude was generally to flee in terror from bees and choppers and tanks and gunmen.\nThey were regularly overpowered, beaten up, shot, pummelled, knocked out and tied up. \"This\" has Mulder and Scully sliding across floors, punching out assassins, shooting down enemies and Mulder, whose defining attribute in Seasons 1 - 7 was to regularly drop his gun, is suddenly a capable marksman whose uncharacteristic profiency in \"My Struggle II\" with defeating a thug has become the new normal.\nAdmittedly, there is a huge time gap between Seasons 9 and I WANT TO BELIEVE during which Mulder and Scully were fugitives and conceivably spent a lot of time retraining themselves for their lives on the run. But the structure of \"This\" is most unlike THE X-FILES: Mulder and Scully are the focus and the protagonists, and their abilities are well above what's been previously established.\nAnd yet, this is actually very much in tune with how THE X-FILES worked in Seasons 1 - 9. It was a different era of TV where viewers were unlikely and unable to watch every single episode. Chris Carter, as a showrunner, rarely rewrote scripts the way modern lead producers do. Instead, his attitude was to invite each individual writer to produce their scripts from writing to airing and he encouraged each individual writer to present their unique, personal vision of THE X-FILES.\nFor example, Chris Carter generally writes Mulder as a stalwart hero with a meaningful purpose and mission, but Darin Morgan (\"Were Monster\") writes Mulder as dysfunctional and fundamentally hopeless in his goals. Chris Carter wrote aliens as unknowable, inhuman monsters of horror and madness; James Wong wrote aliens as figures of unimaginable wonder and beauty.\nVince Gilligan wrote monsters as troubled representations of the dark side of humanity which could be confronted and defeated; Chris Carter wrote monsters as beyond human understanding or control. And Chris Carter writes Mulder and Scully as passive investigators, but Glen Morgan writes them as involved action heroes. So, \"This\" being nothing like the other episodes of THE X-FILES is actually being quite true to THE X-FILES.\nThis conflicting, contradictory approach is also within Chris Carter's own episodes: he writes monster of the week episodes that are clearly set in a universe of supernatural, magical, unknowable forces, but his alien episodes are written in a universe of scientific and technological concepts in which voodoo and ghosts don't fit. His Season 1 - 9 myth-arc episodes are about aliens as a terrifying force outside humanity infiltrating our civilization and infecting it with savagery and monstrosity; his Season 10 - 11 myth-arc episodes are about humans who have co-opted the wonder and beauty of benign aliens to take advantage of humanity's weaknesses and failings. Alien colonization and the Spartan Virus are two different conspiracies; Carter treats them as the same conspiracy (aside from two lines in \"My Struggle III\" where the conspirator says that the aliens are not going to colonize Earth as the planet's no longer worth their while).\nThis is why continuity both for the myth-arc and for the characters has always been a pointless waste of time in this show. THE X-FILES was written in the 90s where episodes were written as self-directing, standalone products without much concern for what aired last week or what would air next week. This was true of both the writers and the majority of the audience and Carter has maintained this approach for Seasons 10 - 11.\nLooking at \"This\" independently as it was meant to be seen: it's clearly about establishing Mulder and Scully as a couple with the plot being at best an afterthought, a framework to put Mulder and Scully together in every scene with the entire episode never showing them apart at all. They are a pair who are so comfortable with each other that they fall asleep on the sofa watching television, reviewing casefiles and eating junk food. They are so familiar that even as fugitives pursued by assassins, they are cheerily at ease with each other in the woods or in parking lots or in a cafe or in a restaurant or on a bus. They are so acclimated that Scully refers to Mulder's house as \"home.\" They are so warm with each other that they can both silently decide not to bother cleaning up the house and will silently let rubbish fall to the floor and head back to the sofa where they were when the episode began.\nThese are not coworkers or colleagues; THE X-FILES (this week) is a love story about two people who are uniquely and intimately suited to each other to the point where their marital status and professional standing are completely irrelevant because they are a team, they are a couple, they are together and they are completely infatuated with each other and their lives. God knows what they'll be like next week, but this is what they're like in \"This.\" It's how Glen Morgan sees them. It may not be how the other writers see them.\nIf you look at it from a continuity minded standpoint -- which is not how THE X-FILES was designed -- you may see an arc. In Seasons 1 - 6, Mulder and Scully went from colleagues who trusted each other to best friends and comrades to the point where even when they'd been reassigned and the X-Files office was closed or kept from them, they would investigate cases in their spare time together to the point where \"Dreamland\" essentially has them as a sexless couple going to Area 51 and \"How the Ghosts Stole Christmas\" show them spending their holidays staking out a haunted house as civilians instead of FBI agents. In Season 7, they kissed on New Year's Eve but it went no further and the Smoking Man remarked to Scully: \"You'd die for Mulder, but you won't allow yourself to love him.\" The episode \"all things\" revealed that Scully had an affair with her professor in her college years that left her feeling that love was somehow a betrayal of indepedence but finally making her peace with that; the teaser and tag scene suggested that Mulder and Scully had finally consummated their relationship.\n\"Hollywood AD\" and \"Je Souhaite\" showed Mulder and Scully distinctly romantic with each other, \"Requiem\" had Scully overjoyed to discover she was pregnant, the Season 8 finale had Scully holding her baby and Mulder kissing her and \"The Truth\" has them running away together. However, I WANT TO BELIEVE shows Mulder and Scully in conflict with the chemistry of a long-divorced couple reluctantly adjusted to how they'll never be rid of each other. \"My Struggle I\" showed them separated with Scully calling a relationship with Mulder \"quite impossible\" and Mulder sadly but gently saying that he and Scully had gone their separate ways \"for better or for worse\" while Scully said to Mulder, \"I'm always happy to see you,\" establishing them as amicably broken up and maintaining constant contact.\nHowever, their relationship starts to get closer. \"Home Again\" has Scully confiding in Mulder that she longs desperately to see William; \"Founders Mutation\" has Mulder claiming he has had to forget William but later revealing that he hasn't at all. \"Babylon\" has Scully getting over the death of her mother and then this reinvigorated Scully visits Mulder at his house and they're holding hands and walking joyfully at the end. They have only one scene together in \"My Struggle II\" and they have brief interaction in \"My Struggle III,\" but \"This\" would suggest that after \"Babylon,\" Mulder and Scully have become a couple again. Scully called Mulder's house \"our home.\"\nOr the next episode will resume having them living in separate dwellings and only seeing each other at the office and, retroactively, \"This\" was a late night work session that became movies and snacking and it was an anomaly, not a regularity. Who knows what the next episode will be? You never know what THE X-FILES is from week to week -- that's the show. It could just as easily be argued that the romantic episodes of Season 7 were simply those writers' personal visions of the Mulder/Scully relationship which exist alongside episodes in which they're platonically friendly or professionally amicable. It's almost like each episode of THE X-FILES is set in a different parallel universe.\nFor better or for worse, THE X-FILES is not really a series as we understand it today; it's an anthology show that features the same actors playing characters with the same names and jobs but with relationships and settings that are radically different from episode to episode and writer to writer with little to no concern for ongoing development or consistency and continuity.\n\"This\" may be the first episode to actually silo its own episode from the rest of the series by proposing that the onscreen are all a simulation -- and it may even explain why Mulder and Scully are so different from week to week, why the conspiracy was in Seasons 1- 9 about an invasion but in Season 10 became population control without alien involvement, why THE X-FILES goes back and forth from sci-fi to supernatural -- these are all different versions of the simulation.\nWow, that actually makes sense in some weird way.\nI was watching the episode under the assumption that Mulder and Scully were in a simulation, but the episode never went there. In the end, it seemed like an absurd waste of time, where Scully could infiltrate a highly secured government facility by winking at a stupid guy.\nYour way works better. Especially because it allows for a universe where Mulder and Scully were never a couple. That never should have happened.\nThis week actually... Didn't suck. I'm surprised.\nIf they cut out the relationship crap that always kills the Mulder/Scully dynamic, this would have felt like a classic X-Files episode.\nAlso, the Trump jabs. It's just petty. And at this point in the series, the FBI has been proven to be horribly corrupt and possibly genocidal, so shutting them down would probably not be the worst idea.\nIn my continuing \"casual X-Files fan\" mode of watching this show, I was confused - I thought Mulder and Scully were actively a couple. Weren't they living together and snuggling on the couch last episode?\n(I just read irreactions' \"This\" review so maybe that was a simulation or an individual's vision of Mulder and Scully?)\nIn my continuing \"casual X-Files fan\" mode of watching this show, I was confused - I thought Mulder and Scully were actively a couple. Weren't they living together and snuggling on the couch last episode? (I just read irreactions' \"This\" review so maybe that was a simulation or an individual's vision of Mulder and Scully?)\nGlen Morgan sees them as a couple. Chris Carter sees them as colleagues and friends, but he doesn't see them as husband and wife or boyfriend and girlfriend because he feels that is too conventional for them. Darin Morgan sees them as amicably broken up but still good friends. James Wong sees them as wisecracking coworkers.\nAnd THE X-FILES isn't really about continuity, so each writer writes their own individual version of Mulder and Scully and Carter doesn't force them to conform, instead encouraging each episode to represent the author's vision even when it contradicts what was onscreen last week and what will air next week.\nYeah, after reading your \"This\" post, I can buy that logic. So my casual watching of the show works fine because it isn't important to understand what came before\nThere are times when THE X-FILES' anthology approach is quite maddening and infuriating -- specifically with the myth-arc episodes trying to tell an epic story with numerous pieces that don't fit together and lacking much effort to at least make them feel like they're part of the same show. I have very mixed feelings about the non-existent script editing except to say it often drives a lot of people crazy and makes them stop watching the show, and that it's very unusual in a TV landscape of serialization.\nIt is admirable, however, that Chris Carter has one view of Mulder and Scully -- but declines to insist that his writers follow it, instead telling them to pursue their vision and passions on his show. He could rewrite them. He could mandate that they revise their romcoms and amiable exes attitude and have them replace it with Carter's preference for platonic intimacy. But he doesn't. And he won't. He wants his writers to write their stories, not Chris Carter's stories.\nI have to disagree about this approach being admirable. Each writer approaches the characters differently, and that usually resulted in characters who were layered and complicated. It added to the show. However, Carter's inability to run the show has constantly damaged the series. Someone needs to figure out what's going on and what path they're going to take when it comes to major developments. That is the job of the showrunner. Carter's job is to steer the writers in the right direction. He is failing at that.\nI kinda wish they would do an X-Files multiverse episode, where all of these different versions of Mulder and Scully are in the same room together. It'd be hilarious to see platonic Scully's reaction to relationship Scully's romance with Mulder. That'd be a fun episode. However, all of these are supposed to be the same person as far as the show is concerned, so it makes no sense!\nStar Trek The Next Generation wasn't heavily serialized and even they could keep track of when Troi and Worf were dating.\nThe problem here is that Mulder and Scully shouldn't be a couple. It kills their dynamic. It is an awkward beat for characters who are partners at the FBI. They're best when they're pushing against each other (verbally) and that allows them to be sarcastic and super close in a way that a romantic involvement doesn't. Now they're trying to have it all, and it doesn't work. Maybe it'd play better if they weren't agents anymore, and they were just partners in some supernatural PI office or something, but that's not what this show is. Mulder and Scully should be like Ken and Barbie (junkless) around each other. It's irritating that they've been forced together, probably because of some vocal shippers, and Carter's inability to make a decision and hold people to it.\nThe relationship scenes this week were like brick walls that the story kept crashing into.\nThis in no way addresses Informant's criticisms except to say: because Carter encouraged each writer to do their own version of the show, produce their scripts and direct their episodes, Vince Gilligan created Breaking Bad, Howard Gordon helped create Homeland, David Greenwalt led Angel, Tim Minear produced Wonderfalls, Darin Morgan gave Fringe its weirdness -- and Carter nourished and encouraged all these writers and their voices and talents and gave them experience to produce and sell other shows -- although none ever ran their writing rooms the way Carter (doesn't) run his. Nearly every X-FILES writer has gone onto huge success and acclaim.\nYeah, but Carter's job wasn't to mentor the executive producers of tomorrow. His job was to run The X-Files, and because he ran it like some sort of writing hippie commune where everyone just did their own thing, Carter failed at his primary job.\nThere is a balance to be struck between allowing different writers to have their own style, and keeping the show consistent. I hate to give Joss Whedon praise, but Buffy was a good example of this. There's no confusing a Marti Noxon episode for a Jane Espenson episode, but the show didn't suffer because of it... Until Marti took over running the show.\nI think the decision to give each writer has his own personal X-FILES universe was a good approach in the 90s. The casual viewer, which was most of the viewers, wouldn't be particularly aware of the inconsistencies because the majority of the audience wouldn't have seen all the episodes.\nFor viewers with at best Slider_Quinn21 level memories of the show, aliens being malevolent monsters in Carter episodes but innocent and benign in a Morgan/Wong episode could be part of the mystery. Scully having a dog in Darin Morgan episodes but making no reference to her pet in any other episodes would go unnoticed. Scully could lose a child in one episode and be back to normal next week.\nThis was TV before DVD sets and viewing on demand; only a small percentage of the viewers were going to be rewatching homemade or official VHS cassettes or marathoning reruns in syndication. Carter's hands-off style has fallen out of vogue in a modern era where serialization is now possible and effective thanks to streaming and each episode is part of a greater whole.\nCarter's approach has not translated well to the modern era, but I can appreciate his wish to keep the anthology approach for the revival.\nChris Carter and Informant are actually in total agreement on Mulder and Scully's romance. Carter didn't want to have one, never has and still doesn't. It annoys him greatly. When first casting Dana Scully, FOX urged him to cast Pamela Anderson. This drove Carter crazy and he fought hard to have a real actress who could play a scientist, a doctor and an FBI agent.\nPart of his distaste for hiring an lead actress simply to objectify her is present in the pilot where Scully, thinking she's found alien implant marks, runs into Mulder's hotel room and strips for him to examine her. Carter's script and Duchovny's performance are very determinedly sexless as Mulder recognizes the marks as mosquito bites, and the moment leads to Mulder sharing his traumatic childhood with Scully.\nIt's pretty clear from the Pilot that Carter wanted to explore Mulder and Scully as platonic friends and partners with a depth of connection well beyond just boyfriend/girlfriend. He wanted to focus on the conflict between the believer and the skeptic and romance was not his area of interest. Also, THE X-FILES wasn't really about relationships anyway; it was about scary stories, monsters of the week and two characters who would be static and unchanging, more icons than people.\nHowever, something strange happened: there was a peculiar romantic chemistry between Duchovny and Anderson that Carter did not want, did not plan for and couldn't understand. Carter was mystified. Duchovny and Anderson did not get along well at all; Duchovny was a studied, serious, thoughtful, nerdy, restrained thespian. Anderson was a hyperactive punk rocker. They chafed against each other. Neither enjoyed Vancouver, both expected THE X-FILES to be cancelled inside six weeks, both were astonished by the success and the renewal and the increasing horror that they were totally mismatched to each other and would never be rid of each other. Carter wanted to put them in couples' counselling after Season 1 and it baffled him that onscreen, Mulder and Scully had a chemistry that the audience viewed as romantic.\nHe refused to acknowledge it for a long time and wrote against it. However, the other writers resisted him and Carter, being laid back with his writers, allowed them to write scripts which played up the romance. Most notable was Darin Morgan's \"War of the Coprophages\" in which Scully refuses to leave her apartment despite Mulder's tales of killer cockroaches -- until she hears that Mulder has met a lady scientist who finds his theories intriguing, then suddenly Scully's hauling ass to catch up with him.\nThen came the movie where Carter, accepting that the audience wanted a romance, had a near-kiss between Mulder and Scully. And with the move to Los Angeles and Season 6, Carter found himself struggling to maintain THE X-FILES' originality when five years of monsters of the week had exhausted all the obvious stories.\nThe writing staff suggested they liven up the show by having a run of romantic comedy episodes. Duchovny and Anderson also pushed for this. Carter conceded that they needed the fresh material that this would bring, but mandated they could only bait the fans with teases and never allow the romance to actually come to fruition.\nSo we had Mulder kissing a Scully doppelganger in \"Triangle\" and telling the real Scully he loved her only to be dismissed, \"Rain King\" where Scully expresses her love for Mulder unknowingly, \"Arcadia\" where the go undercover as a married couple.\nBut then came Season 7 where Gillian Anderson effectively overruled him and wrote and directed \"all things\" where Mulder and Scully finally become a couple. Carter insisted on maintaining deniability where the romance is largely offscreen and indicated only through Mulder and Scully being in really good moods, but then decided to use Scully getting pregnant as a season-ending cliffhanger. Season 8 ended with Mulder and Scully kissing and holding their baby, a final scene that sadly wasn't final.The showrunner had effectively been defeated on this front by his writers, the fans and also the actress.\nThe romance wasn't something Carter wanted, but as it became a selling point and the series' longevity extended well beyond the five seasons Carter had expected, he gave in and he wasn't happy about it.\nThe Season 9 finale, \"The Truth,\" has Scully losing all credibility in court as a witness to the alien conspiracy because her romance with Mulder has undermined her as a scientist. This was Carter's grim observation that Mulder and Scully as a couple instantly reduced Scully to Mulder's love interest. In \"My Struggle I,\" he broke them up immediately, but due to the actors' insistence, he was forced to script them as reconnecting again by \"Babylon.\"\nIt exasperates him, but Carter has grudgingly accepted that the characters he created have shifted due to the actors playing them and what ended up onscreen wasn't what he'd conceived or scripted in the beginning.\nAnd this is where I think a lot of TV writers have problems. Whenever you put two characters in a room together, there will be shippers. Mulder/Scully shippers, Dean/Castiel shippers, Sam/Dean shippers, Buffy/Giles shippers, Oliver/Felicity shippers... pretty much any time there are two (or more!) characters interacting with each other, a percentage of the audience will want them to start jumping each other. And a lot of the time, those fans are very, very vocal. With Supernatural, a lot of the fans ship themselves with the characters and screech every time a woman appears on screen with the guys.\nSometimes, the characters naturally do move toward a relationship (Fringe, Chuck, Psych), but other times, they are better left separate. Sometimes knowing when to deny the audience what they want is as vital as knowing when to give them what they want. Sometimes the plot the story needs isn't the same thing as what the audience wants. In fact, sometimes it's best to recognize what the audience wants, and write in the opposite direction entirely.\nDear lord, I'm about to give Whedon credit again... but the truth is that I did learn a lot about writing from him, before he totally sold out...\nOn Buffy, there was a certain death that I won't spoil for anyone who hasn't watched the show yet. It happened in season 2, and it was shocking. In playing the reaction to that death, Anthony Stewart Head's instinct was to cry, but Joss told him not to. He said that the second Giles releases that emotion, the audience will feel the release of theirs. By denying the expectation and denying the strong instinct in that moment, the story becomes much more powerful. Not to the characters, but to the audience. This is a lesson that I've carried with me for many years now.\nIt comes down to the instinct of the writer. To know the characters and know the story, and to hold true to it. The X-Files was Chris Carter's responsibility, not his writers and not the audience. He owed it to the story and to the characters to keep that story on course and to stay true to the characters. Many people probably just wanted Mulder and Scully to end up together because that's what's supposed to happen with any male/female interaction, and that's what the audience has been programmed to expect from the story. This situation was one where working against those expectations would have made the story so much stronger. Working against the expectations would have made the Mulder/Scully bond much more unique, much stronger, and much more interesting. Now they are exes with benefits, who are partners at the FBI (is that even allowed?). Instead of being special and compelling, their relationship devolved into a cliche that checked every box that we've come to expect.\nCarter knew what the right choice was. Good for him. However, he allowed himself to be overruled by people who worked for him and whose job it was to fulfill his vision. He let the animals run the zoo. Even when he makes the right decision, he proves that he shouldn't be running the show by allowing his decision to be overruled.\nThere's no reason why Mulder and Scully needed to be romantic with each other in order to have a baby together. It sounds weird, but welcome to the 20th century! We have IVF now!\nI don't really have an opinion on the Mulder and Scully romance except to say: I see lots of storytelling potential with them as lovers and I see just as much with them as platonic partners.",

        "title": "The Last Days of Socrates",
        "raw_content": "Apology (the text)\nThe Apology purports to be an accurate account by Plato of Socrates' trial before an Athenian jury in 399 BCE. The text consists of three speeches that were given by Socrates during this trial.\nTrials began with the prosecutors presenting their case against the accused before the Athenian jury. In this trial Meletus argued that Socrates was guilty of corrupting the youth of Athens and commiting acts of impiety. It is possible that Anytus spoke as well. We have no actual record of what was said during this speech. Speeches were timed by water clocks similar to the ones on the right.\nSpeech 1: Defense After the prosecution finished presenting its side, the defense had a chance to respond to the charges. The Apology begins with the defense speech by Socrates. He began by noting that he was unfamiliar with the law court since he spent most of the time in the agora (17a-18a). He observed that he really had two sets of accusers (old and new) and that he feared the old accusers more (18b-20c) so he would deal with them first. He responded to the charges of the old accusers by telling a story about the oracle of Delphi (20d-24b). He then turned to Meletus' charge of corrupting the youth (24c-25e) and impiety (26a-28a). Socrates described his important mission to Athens (28b-30d) and compared himself to a gadfly (30e-31c). He concluded his defense by discussing his integrity (32d-33b), his followers (33c-34b), and his family (34c-35d).\nAfter Socrates finished his defense, the jury then voted whether he was guilty of corrupting the youth and committing acts of impiety. The jury found him guilty, so the trial moved to the second stage for sentencing. At the right are ballots used by jurors - open centers meant guilty and closed acquittal. Again, the prosecutor went first, so Meletus argued that Socrates should be given the death sentence. We have no actual record of this speech.\nSpeech 2: Penalty: Socrates had to respond by proposing an alternate penalty, and the jury had to choose between the two. Socrates facetiously argued that since his philosophical activity actually benefitted the state, justice required that he be given some good thing such as being treated like an Olympic hero. (35e-37a). He then proposed that he, with the help of his wealthy friends, pay a fine (37b-38c).\nSpeech 3: After the Trial: After hearing both sentencing proposals the jury sided in favor with Meletus. The trial was officially over. However, Socrates, knowing that he was about to die soon, had some final words for the jurors. He told those who voted to kill him that they weredoing a great injustice (38d-39e). To those who would have acquitted him, he said that he was not afraid of dying but looked forward to continuing his philosophical questioning with the heroes in Hades (40a-42a).\nThe title of the Apology can be confusing to students. The initial impression some have is that Socrates is being apologetic about his beliefs or that he is apologizing to the Athenians for what he did. Nothing could be further from the truth. The word apology refers to a defense of a person (or institution) against charges brought against that person. In this work, Socrates has been charged with corruption of the youth and impiety. The Apology is Socrates' response why he should be vindicated of these charges.",

        "title": "Some People Are On The Pitch (Again): 32 For 2010: Denmark",
        "raw_content": "For some reason, it feels like Denmark has been one of the world's best footballing teams since the dawn of time. The truth of the matter is they've only ever reached three World Cups (two of them being as recent as 1998 and 2002) while their first (in 1986) was where they finally achieved any real prominence on the global stage.\nThe Danes, it's true to say, have only been taken seriously for some 23 years and some would argue they're still struggling to do that. They arrived on the scene at Mexico '86 and burned incandescently after beating Uruguay, West Germany and Scotland. Sadly they burned out altogether pretty quickly when Spain beat them 5-1 in the Second Round, but by then they'd well and truly made their mark.\nAn appearance at Euro 88 seemed to confirm their foothold amongst the game's elite, but their failure to win any matches sent them into a brief tailspin until the improbable victory that was Euro 92. Finishing second in their qualifying group, they prepared to sit out the Finals in Sweden but were given an unlikely golden ticket due to the war going on in Yugoslavia. Having sailed across to join their Scandinavian neighbours, they overcame a shaky start to win the competition outright against all the odds.\nYet that was to be about all in the name of significant achievements until they reached the World Cup again in 1998 where the quarter-final stage was reached. Since then, they've been there or thereabouts where the major competitions are concerned without ever achieving very much. So should we expect anything different in South Africa next year?\nIf their qualifying campaign is anything to go by, perhaps yes. While not being in the most difficult group, they still showed great efficiency and consistency in overcoming difficult opposition in the form of Sweden and Portugal. After an opening draw against Hungary (who strangely beat them in the closing match 1-0 as well), the Danes scored three goals in their next four matches. Though their average dropped to one per game for the next three matches (including double 1-0's over Sweden), they remained the team to beat in Group 1 finishing two points clear of Portugal.\nThey also boast the qualifying tournament's leading goalscorer in S\u00f8ren Larsen, the Duisberg striker who bagged five goals along the way. It's probably doing him an injustice to mention that he scored two goals against Malta both home and away along with one against Albania, but they all count and he might just prove to be the unknown quantity in an interesting Danish squad.\nFor a further source of goals, look no further than Arsenal's Nicklas Bendtner. The Gunners' number 52 has recently had his name on the scoresheet against Liverpool and Blackburn domestically and also picked up a goal in both of Denmark's qualifiers against Portugal.\nAt the back, the Danes can also rely upon Stoke City's ever-improving goalkeeper Thomas S\u00f8rensen. Though recognised as a 'keeper prone to the occasional gaff (as Rio Ferdinand's headed goal in the last World Cup proved) this last season-and-a-bit has seen S\u00f8rensen step up a gear in reliability terms with some great performances helping him to become a fans' favourite at the Britannia Stadium.\nDenmark's other key man, though, is Morten Olsen. Taking over as national team coach from Bo Johansson in 2000, Olsen initially did well to guide The Danes to the 2002 World Cup and Euro 2004, but failure to reach the 2006 World Cup and Euro 2008 placed a seed of doubt in the minds of many fans. Reaching World Cup 2010 will not only come as some relief for the former Anderlecht and FC Koln defender but also act as a fitting swansong as Olsen is set to quit his post after next year's finals.\nSo to return to the earlier question, what can we expect of Denmark when they reach South Africa? Well if there's one thing that does look likely, it's that they'll get to the knockout stages \u2013 especially if their First Round draw isn't too severe. Once there, however, it's debatable whether Denmark have a squad strong enough to progress much further.\nFor many people, Denmark's high point came in 1986 when Preben Elkjaer Larsen, Michael Laudrup and Jesper Olsen played the kind of Total Football that made the Dutch team legends of the 1970's. Many would settle for the merest glimmer of that next year, but getting beyond Round One is likely to be the first and only realistic ambition for Denmark's hopeful fans.\nLabels: 32 For 2010, Denmark, World Cup 2010",

        "title": "Thiel: U.S. Open will test TV\u2019s Buck, Norman too | Sportspress Northwest",
        "raw_content": "Thiel: U.S. Open will test TV\u2019s Buck, Norman too\nJoe Buck and Greg Norman will broadcast the U.S. Open for Fox from Chambers Bay for 32 hours over four days \u2014 almost as hard as the course will be for the players.\nFox\u2019s TV\u2019s Joe Buck and Greg Norman will have a major test as well at Chambers Bay during the U.S. Open. / Fox TV\nUNIVERSITY PLACE \u2014 Broadcaster Joe Buck knows about grumbling from players.\n\u201cPeople can complain about how guys react down there,\u201d he said. \u201cBut to me, you\u2019re in their world, their field.\u201d\nThe remark was not about Chambers Bay and the seemingly inevitable crankiness from the world\u2019s elite golfers over the unusual course for the U.S. Open. Buck was answering a question about Richard Sherman\u2019s famous rant after the 2013 NFC Championship in which the Seahawks beat the 49ers 23-17.\nBuck was the Fox TV play-by-play voice when Sherman startled sideline reporter Erin Andrews by going off about the 49ers\u2019 Michael Crabtree: \u201cDon\u2019t you open your mouth about the best, or I\u2019ll shut it for you real quick!\u201d\nFearing profanity/madness, Fox abruptly cut away from Sherman and Andrews.\n\u201cI kinda heard our producer say, \u2018Get it back to Joe,\u2019 and that cut off the interview,\u201d Buck said. \u201cPersonally, I don\u2019t think he would have said anything profane. He\u2019s too smart for that.\u201d\nBuck is well-trained in the perils of live sports TV. He can only hope the golfers testing Chambers Bay are as smart as Sherman, because they may well be just as irritated after the mounds, swoops, hardpan and verticality of Chambers Bay get done disrespecting them.\nBuck and his color analyst, many-time world No. 1 golfer Greg Norman, will be tested as well. The network\u2019s debut in major pro golf will go for eight hours live in each of the tourney\u2019s four days for what some call the Super Bowl of golf.\n\u201cI\u2019ve never been a part of an event on TV that\u2019s this long of an effort,\u201d Buck said. \u201cThirty-two hours of live TV . . . I\u2019m sure I\u2019ll make mistakes and have great moments, and hope that the moments outweigh the mistakes. Live is live, don\u2019t get to take anything back.\n\u201cI\u2019m smart enough to know how hard this game is, how different doing an event like this is \u2013 taking bits of information from 300 acres \u2013 funneling into one telecast. It\u2019s completely different.\u201d\nBuck\u2019s description is similar to what Norman said about the eight-year-old course atop an extinct sand and gravel mine along Tacoma\u2019s western shoreline. They were at Chambers Bay recently to record segments for the June 18-21 tourney.\nNorman played the course with longtime PGA fellow tourist Brad Faxon. The Great White Shark was quick to hit the klaxon for the 156-man field.\n\u201cI think some players will come here and be negatively vocal,\u201d said Norman, whose two wins in majors were on links courses in the British Open rota. \u201cThen some will be positive. It\u2019s how you embrace it.\n\u201cNothing like it in the world . . . fine fescue grasses, the sand underneath, the sound of the ball hitting the green, dropping your putter on the putting surface . . . the massive scale of it \u2014 really wide fairways, massive green complexes, the undulations within the greens.\u201d\nNorman described the golfer who is least likely to end the day with a rant.\n\u201cA one-dimensional player won\u2019t do well here,\u201d he said. \u201cA multi-dimensional player who can visualize and execute shots and realize what a ball is going to do when it\u2019s rolling out.\n\u201cWhat these guys have seen are links courses in true traditional fashion. They\u2019ve never played a links course with this much elevation change. Big difference.\u201d\nNorman, who made $15 million in earnings from a competitive career that went from 1977 to 2009, is still in good shape at 60. But he texted two words of warning to friends on the tour about Chambers Bay.\n\u201cGet fit,\u201d he said. \u201cWhen you get a hilly course when you\u2019re walking down a lot, some players might get shin splints.\u201d\nHe also recommended multiple practice rounds.\n\u201cIt\u2019s going to take more than two rounds to understand this course,\u201d he said. \u201cSome players will have never played on fine fescue, and here, it\u2019s wall to wall. Some of these holes, you won\u2019t know where the front of the green is. You wonder, can I mark my ball or not mark my ball?\n\u201cIt\u2019s something new and different.\u201d\nSo too for the broadcast. This is the first year Buck has done golf, the first year for Norman as a broadcast analyst, and obviously the first time they\u2019ve paired \u2014 on a course hosting the Open for the first time in a region that has never experienced it.\nRookie ball for all. Sorta.\n\u201cI\u2019d be an idiot to not \u2014 not be concerned or apprehensive, but there will be things I\u2019m hit with that I\u2019m not expecting, Buck said. \u201cThis isn\u2019t second nature, but it will be. Gotta start somewhere.\n\u201cMy approach is to take my time and not try to wow everybody with everything I say. Silence speaks volumes, and you pick your spots.\u201d\nHe has zero concern about working with Norman, whose Aussie charm wraps around a directness that should be entertaining for viewers.\n\u201cChemistry came quick,\u201d Buck said. \u201cGreg is a lot like guys I\u2019ve worked with before. I\u2019ve been fortunate to be paired with Hall of Famers Troy Aikman and Tim McCarver. Now Greg. There\u2019s a common work ethic among those guys. You see why they were successful as players, and they\u2019ve become successful as broadcasters.\n\u201cFor as new as I am to golf, he\u2019s new to broadcasting. He\u2019ll defer to me until he feels comfortable, and I\u2019ll defer to him after that, when he\u2019s ready to fly on his own.\u201d\nNorman is jacked for the event because the landscape hard against the sea, with Olympic National Park for a backdrop, will compete well with the dramas of the day.\n\u201cThis is made for TV \u2014 fantastic, from our perspective,\u201d he said. \u201cIt will be such a dramatic visual. Then there\u2019s going to be so many dramatic shots. You might have guys on six who make eagles and others make eight \u2014 on a hole 290 yards long.\n\u201cWhen (players) get in, they\u2019ll spend six hours walking around here. It\u2019s going to be taxing on the brain. Negative thoughts creep in: \u2018I don\u2019t like this, I don\u2019t like that\u2019 . . . they won\u2019t figure it out.\u201d\nThat will make for some good story-telling because of tension and potential frustration.\n\u201cI think it will be high because they haven\u2019t seen the course,\u201d Buck said. \u201cIt\u2019s not like Oakmont (the suburban Pittsburgh course that hosts in 2016), where everyone has played, and you know what you\u2019re going to get.\u201d\nIn fact, no one knows what they\u2019re going to get \u2014 golfers, broadcasters, galleries, groundskeepers, the national/international audiences who will see from drone-mounted cameras and hear from microphones in the bottoms of holes. The only thing for sure is we\u2019ll see it late, with daylight until 10 p.m.\nRant away, gentlemen. If you need help, Richard Sherman is not far.\nForget Buck\u2019s thoughts on Richard Sherman. Ask the Shark about his thoughts on Tom Brady because he went off on him on Twitter yesterday. Not a fan of the NFL\u2019s golden boy it seems.\nI was in Tacoma last week and they have banners and signs everywhere promoting the US Open and that they\u2019re hosting it. It\u2019s great to not only such a huge event in Washington but for it to be somewhere other than in Seattle.\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbSRCjG-VLk\nExcellent. Thanks, nota. I like playing golf (poorly), but that\u2019s funny, especially after a couple Racer 5s.\nJoe Buck? Really? Good Lord.",

I passed the factory a few days ago and now it's confirmed that there is another orange spyker in production. Things changed a lot since the last time I visited the factory!\nAwesome that you got to visit the factory and even more that you got the tour from mr. Muller!! Congratulations on the experience\nThe Florida dealer was picking 5 or 6 cars, but only Laviolettes. He was very picky about the details. He did not like the rivets below the trunk. He was worried that the people that would buy a Spyker would think that the car was a kit-car. Victor promised him to finish the cars he selected in stainless steel. Now, that is taking care of your customers.\nIn June as well as in August 2008, I will visit the factory with a few people. Maybe there is some interest to have a Forum Gathering at the factory.\nI'd love to come - but realistically I probably won't\nThere will be more opportunities.\nI might be in Italy in June, but when I am in Holland I would love to join you Rijk. (It has already been 2 years ago since my last visit inside the factory).\nIt looks that I can be a little more specific about the dates.\nI will be in the Netherlands the week of June 23 and the week of August 18.

        "title": "\ufeff The Feasts of the Lord",
        "raw_content": "Since Easter is celebrated this month I think it\u2019s appropriate that we take a look at the scriptural basis for this holiday. Let\u2019s specifically look at the ordination of this holiday, this holy day. Many believe we celebrate Easter because it is the day that Jesus arose. But its origin actually lies in what Jews call the High Holy Days, and what most Christians errantly call the Jewish holidays.\nI say \"errantly\" because scripture doesn\u2019t call the High Holy Days Jewish holidays, or feasts of the Jews. Scripture tells us that these are the Feasts of the Lord, (Leviticus 23: 2, 4, 44). And by looking at the totality of these holy days, these feasts, we will see that God laid out for us His entire plan for the salvation and reconciliation of mankind. He told us the precise details of His plan through the ordination of the seven feasts of the Lord which are Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, Weeks, Trumpets, Day of Atonement and Tabernacles, and the Sabbath. So lets look at these feasts, these holy days, as they are ordained, in Leviticus 23.\nIn verse 5 we find that God ordains the fourteenth day of the first month Passover. Everyone who has seen Charleton Heston in The Ten Commandments knows the story of the deliverance of the Jews from bondage in Egypt (Well, Cecil B. DeMille\u2019s version of it anyway). The Passover lamb represented Jesus (I Corinthians 5: 7). It was to be sacrificed on Passover and (on the first Passover at least) its blood was painted on the doorposts and beam as a sign for God\u2019s vengeance to \"pass over\" that house.\nBut there are a couple of additional points to note about the Passover lamb that are not so commonly known. In Exodus 29: 34 and Deuteronomy 16: 4 we read that none of the flesh of the Passover lamb could remain until the morning, and in Exodus 12: 46 we find that not a single one of its bones could be broken (see also Psalms 34: 20).\nAnd sure enough, Jesus was indeed sacrificed, crucified, on Passover. And, because it happened that year that the next day was the Sabbath, and especially a Sabbath during the High Holy Days, it would simply have been intolerable that He would have been left on the cross until the next day (see again Exodus 29: 34 and Deuteronomy 16: 4). So the priests had Pilate hasten the deaths of the men on the crosses by breaking their legs (John 19: 31). But since Jesus was the Passover lamb, none of his bones could be broken. And as it happened they weren\u2019t (John 19: 36). Instead the soldier, seeing Him dead already, pierced Him to confirm that He was indeed dead.\nIn Leviticus 23: 6 - 8 we read God\u2019s ordination of the Feast of Unleavened Bread. It begins the next day after Passover and lasts for seven days. During this time the Jews are to eat no leavened bread, only unleavened bread. Also on the first and last days they are to do no work, so in most years they will do no work on three of the days of Unleavened Bread, unless the Sabbath falls on either the first or last day of the Feast.\nIt\u2019s important to understand that leaven is a symbolic element of scripture. It symbolizes sin because of the way that only a small bit of it will turn an entire loaf into leaven. Moreover, did you know that you don\u2019t need a seed yeast (leaven) to grow yeast. It\u2019s true. All you need do to grow a new yeast colony is set out a starter culture. All the recipes tell you to seed a new starter with packaged yeast, but it isn\u2019t really necessary. By doing nothing more than exposing the culture to the world around it, yeast will find their way in and start to multiply. I could think of no more appropriate a metaphor for sin than leaven.\nIt is also important to understand that bread is a symbolic element of scripture that represents Jesus Christ. Let\u2019s think about this. Bread is the fuel by which we live, and it is made from wheat. But where does the wheat come from? You only get wheat when the remains of a once living grain of wheat is plucked and buried in the ground. Only then, after it is raised up again, can we gain new wheat from which to make the bread by which we live. Again, we find an incredibly relevant metaphor, in that Jesus was indeed buried on the first day of Unleavened Bread, but let\u2019s not lean on our own understanding. Lets consider scripture.\nWhen He ordained the sacrament of communion Jesus explained that the unleavened bread of the Passover meal symbolized His body (I Corinthians 11: 24). And of course it had to be unleavened, because He is sinless. But the similarities don\u2019t end there. If you\u2019ve ever seen a loaf of unleavened bread, kosher for Passover, then you will have seen two striking features that the loaf bears, both artifacts of the prescribed preparation. It is pierced all over with holes, and it is burned with stripes (Psalms 22: 16; Zechariah 12: 10; John 19: 34, 37; Isaiah 53: 5; I Peter 2: 24).\nBeginning with verse 9, and on through verse 14, God describes the feast of First Fruits. Pay particular attention to verse 11. There we read that the wave offering of the First Fruits are to be presented before God on the day after the Sabbath.\nClearly Jesus is the First Fruit, the first to be resurrected, to be made anew. To be sure, we are all made new creatures in Christ Jesus (II Corinthians 5: 17), but He was the first. And lo and behold, He rose on the day after the Sabbath, on First Fruits, which is the day we celebrate as Easter.\nDo not let it pass without notice that in most years First Fruits is not the third day after Passover. Yet it was prophesied that Jesus would rise on the third day (see Matthew 12: 40; Matthew 27: 62 - 64). And also, from the Feasts of the Lord it is clear that He had to rise on First Fruits. In most years these would have been mutually exclusive requirements.\nVerses 15 - 22 describe the Feast of Weeks, as it was to be held on the day after the seventh Sabbath after First Fruits. After a week of weeks, seven weeks, plus the next day (again a Sunday), was the Feast of Weeks. Since it is 50 days after First Fruits, some call it the Feast of Fifty Days. You will likely recognize the Greek for this name, the Feast of Pentecostos. Note in verse 17 that again there is to be a wave offering, but this time of loaves made with leaven. These are called the firstfruits unto the Lord.\nSince leaven represents sin, it is clear that these loaves represent sinful men who have been redeemed. And as it happened, on the Feast of Pentecost, the Feast of Weeks, the Holy Spirit (symbolized by oil in scriptures) was poured out on the first church. And they were presented as the firstfruits unto the Lord, the first members of His bride.\nThe Feast of Trumpets is described in verses 23 - 25. It is observed on the first day of the seventh month, and no work is done on this day. This is the first of the Feasts of the Lord which has not yet been fulfilled on Earth.\nStill we can see plainly that it foretells the day when trumpets will herald the resurrection of the dead in Christ, and the taking of those that remain, those still alive (I Thessalonians 4: 15 - 17; see also Matthew 24: 31; I Corinthians 15: 52).\nThe second of the still unfulfilled Feasts of the Lord is described in verses 26 - 32. It is called the Day of Atonement, or Yom Kippur in Hebrew. It is judgment day, and it falls on the tenth day of the seventh month, nine days after Trumpets.\nTo the Jew this is a dread and sorrowful day, a day of lamentation. It is a day when the devout among the Jews literally fear for their eternal soul. To err on this day is to earn eternal damnation.\nThe seventh and final Feast of the Lord, the third that is yet to be fulfilled, is the Feast of Tabernacles (verses 33 - 44). It falls on the fifteenth day of the seventh month and lasts for seven days.\nThe Hebrew word translated here as \"tabernacle\" is actually pronounced sukkot (sue-coat), and it means a tent, a dwelling place. And the Feast of Tabernacles, coming five days after Yom Kippur, is quite the antithesis of Yom Kippur. It is a time of unbridled joy and celebration.\nThis is appropriate, because this represents the time when we will all finally be with the Lord in Heaven (John 14: 2).\nOne can not discuss the Feasts of the Lord without discussing the Sabbath. Even God included it in His ordination of the Feasts of the Lord (verse 3). It was the first observance mentioned, and it is a recurring theme throughout the passage. Each of the Lord\u2019s feasts is observed, and fulfilled, at it\u2019s appointed time, but the Sabbath is recurring continuously throughout the lives of men. Moreover, Jesus tells us that man was not made for the Sabbath, but the Sabbath was made for man (Mark 2: 27). Unlike the Lord's Feasts, the Sabbath is man's holy day. And always, it carries a common theme. The man shall do no work.\nRead the passage concerning Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. It stipulates that anyone unrepentant will be cut off, and anyone who does work will be destroyed. Clearly, the Sabbath signifies that all of this, the reconciliation of man to Him, the salvation of man, is God\u2019s work, not man\u2019s. He and He alone can justify and sanctify us (Ephesians 2: 8 - 10).\nThese are the Feasts of the Lord, His plan for our salvation. None of it is any work of ours, it is all His doing. Jesus was sacrificed on Passover. He was not allowed to remain until the next day and yet none of His bones were broken. He was buried for Unleavened Bread and He arose, presented unto God on First Fruits. Then on Pentecost, the fiftieth day, we were filled with the Holy Spirit and presented as the first fruits unto the Lord. Someday the Trumpet will sound and we, the elect, will be caught up to be with the Lord. Then, on the Day of Atonement, the entire world will be judged.

This day was proclaimed by the UN General Assembly in the resolution dedicated to the 60th anniversary of the end of the Second World War in Europe.\nThe Second World War was the most terrible war in history. In it, the multitude of human and national tragedies merged into an epic picture, which still makes one\u2019s blood freeze, despite the tens and tens of years that have passed. 65 million people were killed all over the world, eight to ten million of them were Ukrainians. During that war two million young men and women were taken out of Ukraine to perform forced labor. That war meant living death and concentration camps. In the hell of Babyn Yar alone, Nazis killed more than one hundred and fifty thousand Ukrainian Jews.\nAlmost seven million our compatriots in the ranks of the Red Army fought against Nazism. Another hundred thousand \u2013 in the Ukrainian Insurgent Army and two hundred and fifty thousand \u2013 in the armed forces of the member states of the Anti-Hitler Coalition. Priceless was also the heroism of those who raised cities and villages from scorched ruins, rebuilt the destroyed national economy, laid the foundations of independent Ukraine. These people today teach us wisdom, endurance, patience and optimism.\nMy deepest respect and honour to all the veterans of the Second World War, to the participants of the Ukrainian liberation movement, to all who had gone through the horrors of the Nazi persecution.\nI wish all the employees and veterans of the Foreign Intelligence of Ukraine, members of their families excellent health, family happiness and well-being, inspiration and energy in serving our Motherland. Let peace and harmony come to our land as soon as possible.\nGlory to all who defended and are defending Ukraine from aggression!",

English: bishop\u2019s weed, lovage.\nWorldwide in tropical and temperate climates. Cultivated in Myanmar.\nSeed: With heating properties similar to the seeds of A. graveolens\n, the seeds of C. copticum\nare used to promote appetite, digestion, and gall bladder and gastrointestinal functioning. The pulverized seeds, mixed with ground with pepper, rock salt, and hot water, are ingested as a treatment for stomachaches, dysentery, and sluggish digestion. Blended with yogurt, the seed powder is consumed to eradicate intestinal parasites. A mixture of the seeds and mother\u2019s milk is given to children to alleviate vomiting and diarrhea. A thick paste made from ground seeds and water is applied two to three times daily to quell itching and to heal burns and rashes.\nThe seeds of this species are considered antispasmodic, tonic, carminative, and are included in plasters to ease pain. Crushed with a variety of simples, they are prescribed as internal medicine for diseases of the stomach and liver, as well as for sore throats, coughs, and rheumatism ( Perry 1980).\nThe seeds have been found to be an important source of thymol, \"a well-known antiseptic\" ( Perry 1980).",

        "raw_content": "One of the things I love best about living in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, is a short drive in any direction delivers you to a different environment. We are spending time with our friends Christine and Mark on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. That\u2019s the Sassafras River behind Gary.\nThe Chesapeake Bay Area is steeped in history. I\u2019ve wanted to see the new Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad National Historical Park since it opened in March. The Choptank River Region in Dorchester County is an area of wetlands, rivers and creeks, much as it was over 150 years ago. Tubman used her knowledge of the mazelike paths and waterways to navigate the landscape, and guide over 70 enslaved people to freedom.\nI am in awe of this remarkable woman. Born into slavery, she freed herself and others, served as a nurse and spy during the Civil War, worked for woman\u2019s suffrage and founded a home for the elderly and disadvantaged.\nThe exhibits at the Visitor Center follow the story of Tubman\u2019s life. It is an illuminating and emotional experience, involving all the senses. In addition to the Center, there is a 125 mile driving tour documenting over 2 dozen sites and scenic vistas associated with Harriet Tubman. I left wanting to know more. Did Tubman come through Kennett Square, an important stop on the Underground Railroad? I will have to research that another day.\nRight next to the new Park is Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge and miles of biking.\nChristine spotted three eagles soaring the thermals high above.\nWe couldn\u2019t decide if this was an eagle or osprey nest.\nBlackwater Refuge has one of the highest concentrations of nesting bald eagles on the Atlantic coast and is an important resting and feeding area for migrating and wintering waterfowl. It\u2019s a great day to bike through the tidal marshes and loblolly pine forests.\nThis could be a problem\u2026 we decided to turn around and ride along the park boundary.\nIt\u2019s just not everywhere you can stop at a local fruit stand and pick up some chicken necks as well!\nJust down the road, we admired a catch of blue crabs, caught with chicken necks as bait.\nThe crabs remind the guys that they are starving and seriously in need of a cold beer. Sounds good to Christine and me.\nI specified outdoor seating with a view and crab cakes on the menu. Portside Seafood Restaurant in Cambridge was perfect. We were able to watch the drawbridge open for \u201cworking boats\u201d returning from the day of fishing or crabbing.\nTwo songs are playing in my mind, \u201cOld blackwater, keep on rollin'\u201d and \u201cFollow the drinking gourd.\u201d Landscape and environment, how people live in different areas, the history of place is so fascinating to me. There just isn\u2019t enough time to do explore it all.\nWOW! Your report makes it ALMOST better than being there. But no, being there with you two, overnight and all was even better than this description and pix.",

(Video)\nA growing conspiracy theory suggests the Moon is occupied by advanced aliens that have banned humans from returning. The theory links in with others that claim there are alien bases on the dark side of the Moon. In a feature devoted to the theory, conspiracy theory website Ancient Code said: \u201cHave you ever asked yourself why mankind has not returned to the moon in recent years?\n\u201cAccording to many researchers and Ufologists, the American space agency is hiding a sinister secret from society, and we are not familiar with everything that has occurred\u2014and is still occurring\u2014on the surface of the moon. \u201cMany people claim there is enough evidence to suggest there are alien bases on the moon. Some conspiracy theorists claim the Moon is now out of bounds to humans.\n\u201cRumours, declassified documents, and whistleblowers have come forward saying that agencies around the globe simply cannot afford to let society know what\u2019s really on the moon.\u201d The theory suggests that NASA astronauts during the moon landings met with aliens, who eventually warned them not to return.\nThe website added: \u201cThe idea that there are alien bases on the moon would explain why we stopped so abruptly going to the moon.\u201dAlso, with our current technology, why haven\u2019t we created a permanent manned outpost on the lunar surface?\u201dWouldn\u2019t it be easier to build a permanent structure on the surface of the moon, than to have a floating space station orbiting around Earth?\u201dThe far-fetched theory goes onto suggest aliens are mining the moon of its resources, and UFOs, that allegedly visit Earth, are stationed on the moon. The late Dr Harold Urey investigated lunar science from the 1950s.\nThe Moon is a no-go area, claim some conspiracy theorists.\nPrevious articleRussia Reveals Antarctica is not what we\u2019re being told (Video)\nNext articleWarning: A Giant Black Hole Is Heading Earth\u2019s Way At 110 Km Per Second (Video)",

As you might have seen (if you have taken a look!) The Pledge is huge so we had a lot of information to take on board!\nWhat we noticed was that of the young people we consulted there were 6 main points that proved to be most important so we took these and made them into The Promise. Young people told us that these were the most important things for us to get right...\nHave a look and see what you think about how well we are doing with our promises to you. Let us know - good or bad - it's important that we get it right for you. Contact Us.\n1. Social worker visits\nYour social worker should visit you at least once every 6 weeks, if that's what you want. If you don't want to see them that much, that's fine and you can agree with them how it will work best for you. Once you have been in your placement for a year and that placement is agreed as your long term placement, your social worker visits must be at least every 3 months.\n2. Your calls to be answered within 24 hours\nIf you contact your social worker, there should be an arrangement in place that they get back to you within 24 hours and if not them then one of their team - ideally someone that you might know but this is not always possible. Your social worker should have given you information about how to get in touch with them e.g. their office number, mobile number, email etc and if they are not available other details of who you can speak to. The great thing about this website is you can get in touch with them right here too - Contact Your Social Worker!\n3. You can have a say\nYou have a right to be involved in the decisions made about you. You have a VOICE and your VOICE needs to be taken seriously. A great way to make yourself heard is to go to your Review Meetings and tell your IRO and other people there how things are going and what you want to happen. Another thing you can do is to become a member of the Children in Care Council. New members are always welcome!\n4. You will have the right money\nYour money needs to be right, even if you've moved. This is really important for care leavers and we've promised to make sure it is. You shouldn't have to worry or chase your weekly payments.\n5. Information is easy to understand\nWe know that you get loads of information and reports and letters (blah blah blah!), most of the time this stuff is really important so they need to be easy to understand. If they're not you need to tell us!\n6. You can access the internet safely\nYou should have access to the internet where you live, not just on your phone but at an actual laptop or computer. This might not be in your room, because that's not always safe, but you should be able to get on the internet in your house. You also need to be able to keep yourself safe online and we need to help you with that.\nIf you don't think these promises are being kept for you, or maybe someone else in care please let us know. Contact us via this website!",

Give her the Vespa ride first and I\u2019ll bet you she\u2019ll be more than willing to go explore on pedal power later. If you\u2019re a sporty type and you really want the exercise, go do it whilst she\u2019s shopping. Oh yeah, give her the credit card and it\u2019s even more romantic ;-)! I just hope you can afford it..\nAnd if you do have to use the bicycle, definitely take a side tour and put her on the handlebars! Better yet, don\u2019t make a race of it and just take a lazy stroll. You\u2019ll be the better for it in the end.\nAnybody got a good recommendation for a Vespa rental in Rome?

It gets a little complicated at first, but can be decoded with a little patience. It might be wise to do a little research, before you size down someone with a disease that you do not fully understand.\nThe POTS disease is difficult to describe to friends and family, and much harder to a complete stranger that is totally unaware of the symptoms. These types of diseases are known typically as \u2018silent diseases\u2019 and are many times swept under the rug.\nMany patients suffer from the awful symptoms and from the opacity dealt from the public. The transparency just isn\u2019t there, so the ones that are trapped in this debilitating nightmare receive little fanfare from family, doctors, the government, or even the spouse.\nMany feel trapped and some commit suicide; with the pain and misunderstanding far too overwhelming. In this case, a patient decides to clarify the medical terminology, and while doing so gets an apology from her doctors and nurses. She gave them a lesson in respect!\nThere are several types and sub-types of Dysautonomia.\nI have two types:\nPOTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. My sub-type is hyperMCA POTS, which is a rare subset of the hyper POTS sub-type.)\nNCH/NMH (Neurocardiogenic Syncope, also called Neurally Mediated Hypotension, as well as a few other variations that all refer to the same thing.)\nDysautonomia is a malfunctioning of the Autonomic Nervous System, which controls the unconscious bodily functions, in other words, all those functions we don\u2019t think about to perform.\nThis includes your heart rate, digestion, breathing blood pressure, pulse pressure, heartbeat, bladder function and narrowing or widening of the blood vessels, body temperature, sweating, bowel function and sleep patterns, among others.\nDysautonomia can also be referred to as Autonomic Neuropathy. Think of it this way\u2014Dysautonomia can interrupt the inner workings of the human body, sort of like a car that is mechanically sound but has wiring issues\u2014and looks new!\nA patient with Dysautonomia is sometimes bedridden for varying periods of time; often we are housebound due to the effects of this condition, whether bedridden or not, or forced to lay down often because when we stand up, our brain fails to send the correct signals to the heart to pump blood to the brain.\nThis can result in a significant drop in blood pressure upon standing, along with an increase in heart rate, because our heart is forced to beat overtime to get blood back up to the brain so we don\u2019t faint (we sometimes call this a \u2018face plant\u2019, although the correct term is \u2018syncope\u2019\u2014by the way, most Dysautonomia patients never actually pass out, according to research which indicates that only about a quarter of patients actually experience syncope\u2014\nI am one of those who does pass out.\nFor example, when I stand up and remain standing still, my heart rate typically reaches between 120 and 165 beats per minute within five minutes, without even having taken a few steps yet (my heart rate actually drops when I begin to move).\nThis is often a target heart rate for someone that has been running on a treadmill for over 25 minutes!\nThis dramatic climb of heart rate (tachycardia) upon standing is a hallmark characteristic of the condition POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), which is a type of Dysautonomia.\nTo \u201cqualify\u201d POTS, a patient must exhibit symptoms of pre-syncope, (symptoms that typically precede actual fainting or passing out) in addition to a rise of 30 beats per minute in heart rate. Some use 25 beats as the standard; most use 30 beats.\nThe autonomic nervous system, also known as the involuntary nervous system, regulates those facets in the body that occur automatically, such as breathing.\nIt is composed of two branches\u2014the parasympathetic nervous system and the sympathetic nervous system. There is actually a third branch, but for the sake of simplicity, I\u2019ll discuss the primary branches as associated with Dysautonomia Sympathetic.\nDysautonomia Sympathetic\nThe sympathetic nervous system is also known as our stress response system, or the \u201cfight or flight\u201d system. It is set into motion when we experience stress.\nIt increases our heart rate and blood pressure (as well as pulse pressure), dilates pupils, restricts circulation, slows down digestion, relaxes the bladder, makes us more alert, and provides a boost of energy so that we are capable of dealing with the stressful situation effectively.\nIt increases energy and is often referred to as the accelerator of the autonomic system. (See also: COMT gene.)\nThe job of the parasympathetic nervous system is the exact opposite. Once the stressful event is over, it brings the heart rate and blood pressure ( as well as the corresponding pulse pressure) back to normal, constricts pupils, improves circulation, enhances digestion, calms us down, contracts the bladder and puts us in a state of rest and relaxation.\nIt conserves energy and is often referred to as the brakes of the autonomic nervous system. Since the Sympathetic is the \u201cfight or flight\u201d side, think of the Parasympathetic as the \u201cchillax\u201d side of things.\nWhat Causes Dysautonomia Symptoms?\nWhen the autonomic nervous system is functioning as it should, the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system work in perfect harmony together to maintain balance in the body.\nThe sympathetic nervous system provides us with the tools we need to respond to stress adequately, and the parasympathetic nervous system restores us to our normal state of peace and tranquility.Those of us with this condition find ourselves stuck in \u201cfight or flight\u201d mode; we yearn for the \u201cchillax\u201d mode.\nDysautonomia, or autonomic nervous system dysfunction, occurs when these two systems fail to work in harmony.\nThe most common scenario is: the sympathetic nervous system remains dominant most of the time and the parasympathetic never turns on. When this occurs, then, the body remains in a state of fight or flight at all times.The intensity will vary, but it stays switched on.\nThis variation is responsible for the wide variations in both symptoms we experience, as well as the severity, which fluctuates a lot. A whole lot. The stress response system never fully turns off, but may increase or decrease.\nIf the body remains in a state of fight or flight at all times, then many degenerative processes begin to happen and result in a variety of chronic health conditions and overall effects on our health like those in the list farther down, because the fight or flight side is only supposed to be on for limited times.\nIt is only supposed to be used for brief emergencies, or when our bodies need that extra boost adrenaline provides.\nThe stress response system was designed to deal with brief emergencies that threaten survival. It isn\u2019t supposed to last very long because the body cannot sustain itself for very long in this state, at least not without significant effects.\nThe natural and preferred state of the mind and body is the parasympathetic state, because it is the regenerative. However, it is willing to forgo its preferred parasympathetic state to deal with acute emergencies and will remain in that state if the emergency continues.\nIf the brain and body remain in the sympathetic state for too long and too often, it is degenerative; it breaks us down. If this cycle continues, then eventually the system burns out.\nIt is this cycle that results in Dysautonomia. The actual causes can vary greatly and can ever be stacked; for example, Ihave at least 7 distinct known causes of contributors to my Dysautonomia.",

Just take a look at the numbers. According to CHD Expert, a firm that collects data and restaurant information for more than 14,000 barbecue restaurants across the U.S., in terms of total barbecue places, Texas leads the nation with 2,238 total restaurant locations and 1,931 independent locations. In fact, when considering the number of barbecue restaurants per capita, Texas has one for roughly every 12,000 people.\nWith so many barbecue places to choose from in the area, how do these restaurants grow their customer base?\nRaju Ali, franchise owner of Dickey\u2019s Barbecue Pit at 1629 S. Highway 69 in Nederland, says consistency is key.\n\u201cWe\u2019ve been around since 1941,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re the largest barbecue franchise in the United States and now have over (530) locations.\u201d\nAlthough Dickey\u2019s was named in Fast Casual\u2019s 2014 list of \u201cTop 100 Movers and Shakers: Restaurants,\u201d and was Technomic\u2019s \u201cFastest-growing restaurant chain in the country\u201d in 2012, the barbecue joint was started as a mom and pop operation by World War I vet Travis Dickey in 1941, when he opened the first Dickey\u2019s in Dallas.\nAccording to the Dickey\u2019s website, the restaurant, which recently celebrated its 75th anniversary, was truly a family operation with Travis working the block and Miss Ollie Dickey serving sandwiches. Space on the restaurant sign was rented out to help pay the start-up costs, and the menu was limited to beef brisket, pit hams, barbecue beans, potato chips, beer, bottled milk and sodas.\nDickey\u2019s has not only has kept the quality of its meat consistent over the years, but the restaurant has also developed its menu to include barbecue offerings that may surprisingly delight customers who grow bored by a limited selection of choices at competing barbecue restaurants.\nBeefy Mac, Bangers & Mash and Texas Frito\u2019s Pie round out a menu that has many choices, including traditional barbecue selections like pork ribs, pulled pork sandwiches and chopped beef.\nTaking a cheese lover\u2019s favorite like creamy mac and cheese and adding slow-smoked brisket is a winning combination and one that we greatly enjoyed. There\u2019s just something about fusing tender barbecue and cheese that tantalizes the taste buds. We highly recommend it!\nNothing says Texas like a Frito pie. History tells us this Lone Star favorite may have been invented by Daisy Doolin, the Fritos founder\u2019s mother and the first person to use Fritos as an ingredient in cooking, or Mary Livingston, his executive secretary. The Frito-Lay company attributes the recipe to Nell Morris, who joined Frito-Lay in the 1950s and helped develop an official cookbook that included the Frito pie.\nBut Dickey\u2019s takes this Texas tradition to a whole \u2019nother level with their version called \u201cTexas Frito\u2019s Pie.\u201d Dickey\u2019s starts with corn chips, beans and chopped beef brisket and tops it with cheddar, onions and sprinkles of rib rub. Now that\u2019s a Frito pie!\nLooking for something a little different than your traditional barbecue dish? Dickey\u2019s has you covered with its Bangers & Mash. Made of mashed potatoes and sausages, it is mostly eaten in the United Kingdom but is growing in popularity in the U.S. Although it is sometimes stated that the term \u201cbangers\u201d has its origins in World War II, the term was actually in use at least as far back as 1919, according to Encyclopedia Britannica Online. The term \u201cbangers\u201d is attributed (in common usage in the UK) to the fact that sausages made during World War I, when there were meat shortages, were made with such a high water content that they were more liable to pop under high heat when cooked. Modern sausages do not have this attribute. Dickey\u2019s Bangers & Mash definitely made an impression on us. The juicy jalape\u00f1o cheddar kielbasa quickly disappeared from our plate, as did the baked potato casserole with it.\nIf you are more of a traditional barbecue lover, you can\u2019t go wrong with Dickey\u2019s St. Louis Style Pork Ribs. These are for the purists, Dickey\u2019s says on its menu, but there is no need to be a hardcore barbecue enthusiast to enjoy them \u2014 trust us.\n\u201cWe cook everything onsite, slow-smoked,\u201d Ali said. \u201cRecipe hasn\u2019t changed since 1941. We\u2019re not reinventing the wheel. Just keeping it old school.\u201d\nDickey\u2019s also offers catering and online ordering.\n\u201cWe do delivery buffet, full-service. We do a lot of weddings. A lot of plants call us out for full service,\u201d Ali said. \u201cWe pretty much open a restaurant in their parking lot.\u201d\nFor the regular customer, ordering online is pain-free, Ali said.\n\u201cIt\u2019s really easy,\u201d he said. \u201cYou can go to dickeys.com from your smart phone, place your order, charge it right then and there, and all you have to do is come to the register and tell them your name, show your ID and pick up your food.\u201d\nBe sure to visit Dickey\u2019s Nederland location Saturday, Dec. 3, to support the Southeast Texas Vintage Cruisers Toy Drive. This vintage car show competition is 11 a.m. \u2013 4 p.m. with winners announced at 3:30 p.m. Bring one unwrapped toy for registration.

        "raw_content": "The Force Awakens [SPOILERS, probably]\nSo I like most people in the world saw Star Wars this weekend. I was caught up in the hype, but was also consistently reminding myself of what happened last time I got hyped up about a new Star Wars trilogy. I must say it did not disappoint.\nIt's pretty much a homage to Episode 4 in terms of the basic story. Abrams seems to have captured that perfectly. It seems as though he paid attention to what makes Star Wars great, as well as everything people hated about the prequels. Having said that it does ad a quality of fourth wall breaking self awareness, but I can put up with that. It's certainly more tolerable than the ham fisted pointless fan service in the prequels like having the kids train with the same device that Han Solo happened to have knocking around in the Millennium Falcon in Episode 4.\nThe new characters are great, the acting is great. The old characters are great too, and do not overstep their supporting roles leaving the new folks to take centre stage. The villain Kylo Ren is great and is set up to have a character arc and motivation, which is something lacking from the prequels---which killed off the only promising bad guy in the first movie. I felt the pacing was a bit fast, but there was a lot of ground to cover, hopefully it will allow for a bit of a slow down in the next one.\nIt's definitely not a perfect movie, but it's a good Star Wars film. I really enjoyed it, and can now get over the trauma caused by the prequels...\nRe: The Force Awakens [SPOILERS, probably]\nI was on board with the whole movie until Rei beat a trained user of a lightsaber by \"concentrating\" on her awakened powers.\nOverall, I thought it was awesome. I actually did a Star Wars marathon event in the movie theater starting at Episode 1 and going all the way through. I won't ever do that again, but it was awesome seeing Episode IV in theater for the first time!\nDustnite wrote: Spoilers Ahead!\nI thought that was ok actually. We saw she was pretty good at fighting with her staff and also very force sensitive so it's not beyond question that she could beat and injured guy.\nAlso I think it's great that they appear to be returning to the mystical energy idea of the force rather than the bullshit Lucas came up with in the prequels. Yes it seems silly that the ground literally tears asunder between the two of them, but not if we accept that it wasn't time for them to face each other due to some force shit. This would also explain her sudden surge of power, she can't be defeated yet and nor can he. It's not time. I like that this movie gives the finger to the prequels by restoring the force to a mystical power.\nSeems like everyone liked the film, from what I'm seeing.\nI saw it last night with some friends, and honestly, I actually left right after the part where the two people stole a battered old space ship from some desert planet. Not much was really memorable. This is probably partly due to the fact I've never seen the originals. I mean, I've tried, but I could never get more than an hour in at best to any of them. I really, really am not a fan of the Star Wars series. Something about them just bores me to tears. And seeing all the hype on my Facebook makes me feel like a bit of an outcast.\nI ended up just walking in to the next showing of In the Heart of the Sea the same day, and loved it. So it wasn't a complete waste of $15.\nitsdemtitans wrote: Seems like everyone liked the film, from what I'm seeing.\nThe thing with Star Wars for me was that it totally captivated me as a kid. I loved it, and it was the source of a lot of cherished memories, not just of watching them, but running around in the woods with sticks recreating the battle of Endor or pretending to be on Hoth every time it snowed etc.\nI can fully see that if I watched the original trilogy now without that nostalgia it wouldn't seem so great. It would just be a hammy 80s sci fi series. So I can totally see why some people just don't get why it's so popular.\nIt's also the reason why the prequels are so hated. Not just because they are bad films but also because for many people they ruined the universe that they inhabited in their childhood imagination.\nIn my opinion Star Wars is totally about that nostalgia and that is why the new movie is great, because it paid attention to what the fans who grew up on it wanted (having been made by those people). But for that reason it probably will fall short for people who have never really been that bothered about Star Wars.\nI just watched The Force Awakens and I still cannot believe that Abrams was able to finely make a good movie. That is the most surprising part!\nI loved just about everything about this movie. I will get the three bad things out of the way first in increasing order. 1) I did not like that Finn was able to use a lightsaber so well against someone that was trained with that weapon for his whole life. However, talking to my wife, she said she thought Kylo Ren was only messing around with Finn (something I did not think the scene showed). 2) I thought the scene when you see Kylo Ren capture Rey should have been the scene that first reveals that Kylo Ren was Han\u2019s and Leia\u2019s son. Snoke\u2019s talking about it with Kylo Ren does not have the same effect of Han revealing that Kylo Ren is his son. 3) The thing that bugged me the most was Maz Kanata, I hated the CGI character. This film had so many actual effects that seeing her as a CGI character, that was not done well in the first place, was somewhat jarring. I did not see the point in making that character like that in this film. They could have either made her into an alien with makeup or created a puppet. That would have gone better with the overall aspect of this movie.\nBeyond those, really minor points, I thought it was fantastic. I loved that it was a homage to A New Hope. This was a movie that was made by someone that truly was a fan of the original trilogy and understood why those were great. I loved Kylo Ren and how he is trying to be like grandpa, but is afraid he cannot. I loved Finn and Poe Dameron\u2019s dynamic, I loved Finn and Rey\u2019s dynamic, and I cannot wait to see all three of them with Chewbacca in the next two movies gallivanting through space.\nI loved the actual affects in this movie. I loved that it was people in costumes, makeup, and puppets for the most part. My wife and I were joking about just how much CGI would have been used at the beginning of this movie in the junkyard scene if Lucas had made this movie.\nI would rank this as my third favorite Star Wars movie.\nMy one hope is that since Rey was such a good fighter with a stick, I hope she uses a destroy lightsaber in the future.\nitsdemtitans wrote: I ended up just walking in to the next showing of In the Heart of the Sea the same day, and loved it. So it wasn't a complete waste of $15.\nhe_who_is_nobody wrote: You are dead to me.\nSaw it last week and I have to say I enjoyed it. I'm not a huge Star Wars fan but Force Awakens was actually a pleasant surprise. The characters, plot (as much as it borrowed from New Hope), the CGI, the lack of Jar-Jar Binks and everything else made it a nice sit through.\nThe only thing that annoyed me a bit is that the light saber fights were... well I know people who do boffering that would have taken Kylo Rens head off in about 10 seconds, force user or not. Also, how many non lethal wounds can people do in a light saber fight? That blade is known to melt durasteel with ease after all.\nVisaki wrote: Saw it last week and I have to say I enjoyed it.

It seems to me that they went out of their way to emphasize the effect of that weapon to make it clear that Kylo Ren was probably pretty seriously injured. Plus I expect there was still some emotional turmoil going on.

However, this was the second time Finn ever used the lightsaber, and the first time was pathetic and what one expects. Finn is trained to use a blaster. I think that scene would have been better if Finn still had his blaster and it was basically him just running, hiding, and firing on Kylo Ren, with Kylo Ren blocking the beams with his lightsaber and the force (like he did in the opening). I do understand that Kylo Ren was hurt, but he was able to stand and still willed his lightsaber. Kylo Ren\u2019s injury makes sense when he fought Rey and how she was able to stand against him with already established fighting skills and the force awakening in her.\nI really like Rey as a character, it's awesome that we have a female Jedi in the lead role.\nWhat is less awesome however is the absence of her from a lot of the merchandise. http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/ ... ays-hasbro\nI don't get how they could have under estimated the popularity of the main character in a Star Wars movie. Unless they are operating on the dual faulty notions that Star Wars is for boys and boys don't want to play with toy girls. It's either that or no one knew she was a main character, but that doesn't excuse excluding her from the monopoly set, from the trailer you could tell her character was important if not the lead role.\nIt's great to see a progressive Star Wars movie, especially after the racist characters like Watto and Jar Jar from the prequels. It's sad that the merchandising appears to be lagging behind...\nApologies for the poor grammar.

        "raw_content": "This is going to be a long one! 10 paydays left! woohoo. Day 4 of not smoking, hopefully many to follow. All of the pics I'm posting here were taken in Bagram, Afghanistan on the way to Kandahar, I'll update with pics from here on the next entry on next Sunday. The following are some things I wrote about when I didn\u2019t have my own access to the internet. Now that I do, I\u2019ll have plenty of time to update this blog frequently. I'm actually sitting in the Dutch restaurant called \"Echos\" where you can purchase internet access while you eat Dutch Frikadel on a roll, I'm getting internationalized now! If that's actually a word, if it isn't I'll have it added to Websters! haha. So far to date our surgical team, the Danish team, has done 27 surgeries. Some have been very interesting. The longest day has been 19 hours straight in the OR, but we've been steady more than insanely busy so far but we know the long days are coming. I hope everyone is doing great. Shayna is now officially done with school, her Bachelors Degree is complete and she starts her Masters studies this summer, how can someone so smart end up with me? haha. Well that's about it for now, I'll also be adding pics to the gallery so check them out. Take care, I love and miss you Shayna, and lots of love to everyone else! haha.\nRolig\u2026\u2026.Rolig\u2026\u2026Rolig!\nI\u2019m writing this on 18 May 09, we\u2019re still waiting on yet another move into our new barracks where we will have internet access and the chance to update the blog. The trip out here was one that really tested one\u2019s patience. We ended up spending a total of 2 weeks waiting in Kuwait. Our mission was cancelled to Farah so we were sitting in Kuwait being told that we were either going home, going to Bastien or going to Kandahar, obviously we got the latter of the three. We were very happy to finally know where we were going but the test of patience didn\u2019t stop there. We flew to Bagram, Afghanistan where we were only supposed to be waiting for a day and then off to Kandahar, that sounded way too simple and we were prepared for the worst. We went to the airfield with all of our gear and were met by three guys, out of our total of 6, that were supposed to leave 4 hours earlier for Bastien through Kandahar. Come to find out they were bumped on to our flight, which made us happy because we got pretty close with the guys, that was until we found out that they were assigned to take our seats, rolig, rolig, rolig! Rolig is the Danish word for patience! To make a long story short we ended up spending the next six days waiting on a flight to Kandahar, all the while staying in transient tents that held 100 personnel (see video below). Now I know for a fact that I can survive in a homeless shelter or a natural disaster tent. Haha. I have nothing to complain about being stationed in Kandahar, the living quarters are fantastic and the Canadians, Dutch,\nKiwis and Danish are really fun to work with, it\u2019s a great group. So far I\u2019ve been part of 5 surgeries, all of which were ANA (Afghan National Army) personnel plus one US Soldier that was in for an elective surgery. Some of the cases have been a GSW (gun shot wound) to the face, a revision of a foot amputation, a dressing change to a open head wound including exposed brain tissue, a burn case and several more. In the Navy an Officer working as a perioperative nurse only circulates the cases and a scrub technician does all of the scrubbing, or working in the OR field directly with the surgeon. Upon arrival to the OR here I was told by the Canadians that I would be scrubbing, granted I\u2019ve watched many surgical procedures over the last 4 years, but I\u2019ve never scrubbed. I\u2019ve scrubbed 2 of the previous 5 cases with no problem, at least I don\u2019t think there has been a problem, the surgeons were probably calling me an idiot in Danish! It\u2019s very interesting seeing all of the countries that are represented at this camp, here are a few; Holland, Estonia, Denmark, Canada, USA, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Czechoslovakia, France, Scotland and obviously Afghanistan! It\u2019s relatively safe here, they have had some rocket attacks in the past, but they have been very sparse. I guess that the ammunition that they are using is really old, so the chances of one going off are very little and they are just taking pot shots at us, no aiming involved. We have been wearing our body armor for the past couple of days, I guess the threat level is up right now but we know very little. I\u2019ve got our address if any of you are interested in sending anything. The base I\u2019m at now has several exchange shops so all of the basic needs are met, but here it is anyways:\nLT David Davis\nTask Force Med South\nWell that about brings everything up to speed up to the 18th of May, only 11 paydays left in this \u201cbeautiful\u201d land! Woohoo. Shayna I love and miss you very much, hello and take care to everyone else.\nIt\u2019s now 26 May. Yesterday was a long one, 19 hours in the OR, which brings our surgical teams total to 20 surgeries. The only good thing about that is that the days have been flying by. So far we\u2019ve worked on everything from an open appendectomy to massive face and brain trauma. I\u2019ve been telling people that our location shouldn\u2019t be called the MMU (Multinational Medical Unit), it should be called the Multinational Craniotomy Unit! We have the only Neuro Surgeon in Afghanistan, and the forces are keeping him busy. He is a great guy, he has a long white beard and people say that he is Santa Claus when he isn\u2019t a British Neuro Surgeon! I asked him if it was true and he said that he does take up some side work in the winter. Haha. I\u2019ve been running on a treadmill 6 miles or so every other day, which is good for the stress and to keep me from coming back to Shayna looking like a whale. Shayna asked me not to come back looking like I did from Iraq, I left for Ramadi 155 pounds and came back home at 173, and believe me it wasn\u2019t muscle. So with help from Shayna and her diet plans, I\u2019ve now lost 11 pounds by eating smaller portions, sweating my you know what off and by running. I\u2019m allowed one cheat day for ice cream. Last week I did great by running and eating correctly just waiting for Sunday, which is now Sundae since I eat ice cream that day. I walked up to the place that has soft serve and the machine was broken, that was not a good thing! Well there\u2019s always next Sundae! I love and miss you Shayna, everyone else take care.\nIt\u2019s now the 28th of May at 2030 (8:30 PM) and I\u2019m in the new barracks. Wow! It\u2019s better than all of the barracks I\u2019ve ever lived in, I feel guilty sleeping in here while most of the other nations are in tents, not that guilty though! Haha. It certainly beats the heck out of the wooden box 4 of us stayed in while we were in Ramadi. Sorry Carl! Haha. Obviously I don\u2019t have a solid internet connection yet either, the people that run the barracks say that it\u2019s coming soon, so far Afghanistan \u201csoon\u201d is much slower than American \u201csoon\u201d, must be because we are on the other side of the globe! I decided to stop smoking yesterday, days one and two went fine, hopefully I\u2019ll be able to hold out. We are running a 10K race this weekend for the Canadian Air Force, should be a lot of fun, at least something more to write about. So far our surgical team is up to 23 cases, I\u2019m predicting a total of 360 when it\u2019s all said and done, we\u2019ll see how close I am later on. As always I love and miss you very much Shayna, everyone else take care and I love you also. Haha.\nWell I'm in Kandahar, Afghanistan now and have been since 16 MAY. I have limited internet access right now so I haven't been updating the blog as much as I'd like to. I will be moving to a new living area in a week or so that will have internet access and I'll be updating promptly. I have a couple of articles that have been written but no way to post to the blog. It will be catch up time soon! We have seen some massive injuries come through our OR. We are the only facility in Afghanistan with a Neuro Surgeon, so we get many head traumas. I'll write more later, but all is safe and well. I love and miss you very much Shayna, everyone else take care.\nWhen you want to make a phone call you probably just reach for your cell phone or your wireless home phone. When I want to make a call I have to take 514 steps to reach a phone. Believe me I\u2019m not complaining, being able to call Shayna every day is fantastic. Yes, I\u2019m very bored, if you can\u2018t tell by the fact I\u2018m counting steps! Haha. We have been sitting in Kuwait for 10 days now wondering what the heck is going on. We received some information today at least. The word is that we will be going to Kandahar or Bastien, don\u2019t know when or how but we know we may be going to one of those two places. The 6 of us that are stranded here on the island of misfit toys are still very psyched to go, but the waiting does take a little toll on your motivation. Our buddies that left for Afghanistan a couple of days ago were met with rain, mud and a fallen soldier ceremony, I\u2019m glad we missed that evolution. Things always work out though, it looks like Farah is heating up, the Police Chief was assassinated and according to the Stars and Stripes a US air strike killed 30 civilians and the locals are in an uproar. Probably not a good place to be right now! So our day consists of getting up to the sounds of the bugle call at 0600, going to eat breakfast, going to the phone center to call Shayna, let my food digest and then hit the treadmill at 0900, shower, relax, go eat lunch at 1115, relax, go eat dinner at 1800, call Shayna, relax, read and then sleep. That pretty much covers my day, at least I\u2019m not getting shot at! That\u2019s about it for today I\u2019ll write more as we find out more info. Shayna I miss and love you very much, everyone else take care!\nTattoine\nHello Everyone. I'm now in Kuwait and have been here since 26 APR, not as bad as I thought it would be! We are in 9 man tents, vice the 300 man tents I was expecting. It's very hot but tolerable. We have been doing some training but basically just climatizing. The picture is of me standing at the Udari range, I called the blog entry \"Tattoine\" for all of you Star Wars fans out there. I was just waiting for C3PO and R2D2 to come over the sand dunes! The training was very interesting, of course we started with some good ol' shooting in 110 degrees wearing the full body armor and then off to convoy training. We drove through a 17 Km course that was laden with IEDs (improvised explosive devices), not live IEDs! We had an 8 vehicle convoy, I was in the first vehicle, aka target! haha. We did a good job overall, only \"blown up\" twice. I have new found respect for the Soldiers, Sailors and Marines that do this every day, with the added pressure of the well hidden IEDs. The only bad thing about the Udari range was the fact that we didn't have showers or running water, ate MREs (meals ready to eat) for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We had a sand storm the first night out there, wow! It actually hurt when the sand hit your skin, nothing like a free dermabrasion! We also slept on the floor of the buildings where our classes were taught. When we returned back to Camp Virginia, Kuwait we were actually happy to see our cots and our showers, when before there were some people complaining about the cots and showers! Well we will be leaving here in a couple of days for our next destination, can't wait to see what's in store for us there. The good thing is that we'll be given the official word of where we will be ending up, nothing like the unknown to make things a little exciting! Hopefully I'll be able to do another entry next weekend, if not, I'm still very safe and healthy. Shayna I miss and love you very much, everyone else take care and I'll be writing soon.",

        "raw_content": "How to Use Intermittent Fasting Strategies to Prevent or Overcome Cancer\nby Dr. David Jockers DC, MS, CSCS for The Truth About Cancer\nI will often ask people\u2026 \u201cif there was something you could do that every great sage and spiritual leader throughout history has done, was no-cost, and would have a significant impact on your overall health and vitality\u2026 would you do it?\u201d\nFasting has been practiced by all of our ancestors unintentionally due to a lack of available food at times. It has also been practiced consciously by many of the most intelligent and spiritually advanced people around the world. This healing strategy costs no money and has an incredibly rejuvenating effect on the immune system and cellular mechanics.\nThe only challenge is that we have to break free from the societal programming that tells us we need to have three meals a day plus snacks in between. We have to liberate ourselves from the idea that we are going to starve if we skip a meal.\nHistorical Mentions of Fasting\nFasting is mentioned in the Bible and is part of many religious and spiritual practices, both past and present\nIn Biblical times, fasting was a normal part of a spiritual life. Jesus fasted for 40 days before beginning his ministry. Many of the prophets discussed fasting, and Jesus, when talking to his disciples and followers said, \u201cWhen you fast\u2026\u201d This reference shows that fasting was a normal way of life for the Hebrew people.\nThe Greek historian Herodotus (484-425 BC) believed the Egyptians to be much healthier than the Greeks due to their regular fasting practices. He was quoted as saying that \u201cThe Egyptians are the healthiest of men, since each month for 3 days they conduct purification by vomiting and enemas, believing that a person receives all illness through food.\u201d\nHippocrates, the Father of Modern Medicine, once said,\nThe addition of food should be much rarer, since it is often useful to completely take it away while the patient can withstand it, until the force of the disease reaches its maturity. The man carries within him a doctor; you just have to help him do his work. If the body is not cleared, then the more you feed it, the more it will be harmed. When a patient is fed too richly, the disease is fed as well. Remember \u2013 any excess is against nature.\nFasting for Metabolic Flexibility and Energy Efficiency\nAs you begin to understand how fasting benefits your body, you need to know some basic terminology. The key terms are metabolic flexibility and energy efficiency.\nMetabolic flexibility is the ability to change your metabolism to meet the demands of your environment.\nEnergy efficiency is the ability to use your energy in the most efficient matter possible to meet all the energy needs of the body.\nAs humans, we had to adapt to a number of different challenging environments in the past. We have been forced to run, climb, fight, lift, starve, and even kill in order to survive.\nOur ancestors did not always have ready access to food and would regularly experience times of food shortage and famine. These challenges primed our physiology and gave us a stronger survival advantage by developing our ability to change our metabolism to meet the unique demands we face.\nIn our modern 21st century society, we don\u2019t have to do many of these things any more. We can basically sit back and stay stationary all day while continuously feeding ourselves. This causes a loss of metabolic flexibility and energy efficiency \u2013 making us weaker as a species and more susceptible to infections and chronic diseasesincluding diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer\u2019s disease, and even some types of cancer.\nHow to Improve Your Metabolic Flexibility and Energy Efficiency\nSomeone with a high level of metabolic flexibility and energy efficiency will be able to immediately produce a high level of strength and speed to accomplish a particular task. They are also able to think sharply and clearly and be productive and creative in their endeavors. Finally, they are also able to comfortably go at least 16 to 18 hours without food.\nThere are a number of different ways to improve your overall metabolic flexibility and energy efficiency. Here are 5 key ways:\nIntermittent Fasting or Prolonged Water Fasting Periods\nKetogenic Diet or Cyclical Ketogenic Diet\nInterval and Resistance Training Exercises\nAll of these strategies work to help the body to run more efficiently. In this article we will do a deep dive into fasting and touch on the ketogenic diet which plays a role with fasting.\nWhat Is a Ketogenic Diet or Cyclical Ketogenic Diet?\nBurning ketones instead of glucose as a primary fuel source provides numerous health benefits, including for many types of cancer\nA ketogenic diet works by restricting glucose and supporting the body\u2019s ability to produce an alternative energy source called ketones. Ketones are the breakdown product of fatty acids that the body uses to produce cellular energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).\nIn order for your body to produce and utilize ketones, you must restrict your consumption of foods that get converted into glucose in the body. This includes both sugar and starch as well as high levels of protein.\nKetone metabolism produces an abundant amount of cellular energy (36 ATP) as compared to glucose metabolism (2 ATP). In addition, glucose metabolism produces a tremendous amount of metabolic waste and inflammation, compared to ketone metabolism. This makes ketones a much cleaner energy source than glucose. As a result, a ketone- or fat-adapted individual will have lower levels of metabolic waste production as well as lower levels of inflammation in their body.\nWhen the body is trained to use ketones for energy, it becomes much more metabolically flexible and energy efficient. The individual is then able to go longer periods without food and is able to preserve muscle mass even in times of famine.\nAny individual who is fasting will burn fat stores and produce ketones. These ketones provide the energy source needed to continue to move and do all the things necessary for living. Using ketones as a primary energy source also helps the body to cleanse and detoxify more effectively during a fast.\nFasting Allows Energy Conservation and Reduces Digestive Inflammation\nIn physics, the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant, and it is said to be conserved over time. The body \u2013 even though it is not exactly an isolated system \u2013 has a certain amount of energy it can produce at any given time. The key to great health is in how efficient we are at using that energy.\nYou need energy for the digestive system, the immune system, tissue regeneration, physical movement (kinetics), to maintain mental focus, and to carry out many other activities. We all have a certain amount of energy that remains constant in order to do all of these things.\nDigestion is a very energy demanding process, meaning that it takes a lot of energy to break down and digest the food you consume and absorb the nutrients into your body. Fasting allows you to utilize stored nutrients without the energy demand of digestion. It also challenges your body to be more efficient with the resources it has.\nWhen you eat food, you also increase inflammation in the body. This happens even when you consume so-called \u201canti-inflammatory\u201d foods. This is because the actual process of digestion stimulates inflammation.\nA healthy diet will produce significantly less inflammation than an unhealthy diet, but both will increase inflammation in the body. The harder the meal is to digest, the more inflammatory activity it will provoke.\nIn order to heal from an illness, you need as much energy as possible devoted towards the immune system and tissue regeneration. This is why when people are ill they naturally lose their appetite. This is an innate mechanism of the body to influence us to fast so we can produce the proper environment for optimal healing.\nFasting Improves Immune Regulation\nThe practice of fasting allows the body to put more energy and focus into the process of effective immune regulation. Fasting while drinking water and other cleansing beverages flushes out the digestive system and reduces the number of natural microorganisms in the gut. The microorganism count is typically regulated by the immune system, allowing it to divert energy to other more important areas.\nIntermittent fasting reduces inflammatory cytokines which usually results in decreased inflammation in the body\nIntermittent fasting is a terrific regulator of the immune system as it controls the levels of inflammatory cytokines that are released in the body. In particular, two major cytokines \u2013 Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (TNF-alpha) promote very potent inflammatory responses in the body.\nStudies have shown that fasting reduces the release of these inflammatory mediators. The immune system modulation that intermittent fasting provides may also be helpful if you have moderate to severe allergies.\nFasting Stimulates Cellular Autophagy\nFasting also stimulates the process of autophagy \u2013 a process where the body breaks down old damaged cells and abnormally developing cells to recycle their contents for energy. The process of autophagy is part of the innate immune system and utilizes pattern recognition receptors to identify viral cell invaders.\nIntermittent fasting stimulates autophagy processes, which restrict viral infections and the replication of intracellular parasites. This catabolic process helps the body rid itself of intracellular pathogens as well as stop abnormal cancer cell development. It is also important in protecting the brain and tissue cells from abnormal growths, toxicity, and chronic inflammation.\nFasting Improves Genetic Repair Mechanisms\nResearch has shown that cells have a greater lifespan during times of food scarcity and famine. Intermittent fasting enhances cellular rejuvenation by acting on certain genetic repair mechanisms. We use less energy to repair a cell than to divide and create new cells.\nWhen food consumption is low, the body slows down cellular division to conserve energy. This is a very important finding as cancer cells are driven by very fast and out of control cellular division. In this way, the act of fasting will reduce the very mechanism that cancer cells use to take control.\nThe main hormone that governs this cellular repair process is human growth hormone (HGH). HGH creates changes in our metabolism that favor fat burning and muscle tissue sparing. It signals an increased focus on tissue repair where the body uses amino acids and enzymes to repair tissue collagen, which improves the overall functionality of the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones.\nResearchers at the Intermountain Medical Center Heart Institute found that men who had fasted for 24 hours had a 2,000% increase in circulating HGH. Women who were tested had a 1,300% increase in HGH. The researchers found that the fasting individuals had significantly reduced their triglycerides, boosted their HDL cholesterol, and stabilized their blood sugar.\nFasting Improves Insulin Sensitivity\nThousands of years of food scarcity has led our bodies to develop a protective mechanism to adapt to alternating phases of food abundance and scarcity. During times of food scarcity, our cell membranes become more sensitive to insulin. This is especially important when food is scarce, because it ensures that every bit of food is efficiently used or stored.\nDuring times of food abundance, the body desensitizes the cells to insulin in an effort to avoid the stress of a heavy calorific intake. This results in elevated insulin levels, increased fat storage, and increased oxidative stress and inflammatory conditions in the body.\nToday, we have a massive abundance of food sources. We can virtually eat anytime we would like. In fact, many health coaches recommend eating 5-6 small meals throughout the day. However, this process sends the body the signal of surplus that inhibits key tissue repair hormones that have powerful anti-aging effects.\nHGH and insulin are endocrine opposites. This means that they trigger your physiology in an opposite manner to each other. HGH is designed to help improve tissue repair, while signaling efficient fuel usage and anti-inflammatory immune activity.\nInsulin works to stimulate energy storage and increases both cellular division and inflammation in the body. Insulin is the dominant player in this chess match. When the bodily conditions demand an insulin release \u2013 such as when food is consumed (especially sugar and starch) \u2013 then HGH is inhibited.\nFasting has been shown to reduce insulin secretion and improve cellular insulin sensitivity. This results in the body using insulin better, so that less insulin is needed when eating. By reducing the overall demand for insulin, you reduce inflammation in the body and improve HGH levels.\nIntermittent fasting starves cancer cells and leaves them more vulnerable to destruction\nIntermittent Fasting and Chronic Diseases\nMany individuals with autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, colitis, and Crohn\u2019s disease have seen a tremendous improvement in symptoms with the incorporation of intermittent fasting. This process reduces the hyperinflammatory processes these individuals undergo and allows for more normalized immune function.\nCancer cells are known to have anywhere from 10 to 70 times more insulin receptors than normal cells and depend upon anaerobic metabolism of sugar for fuel. Intermittent fasting starves cancer cells and leaves them vulnerable to free radical damage and ultimate destruction.\nTips for How to Intermittent Fast\nThere are many fasting strategies you can try, including intermittent fasting, where you go anywhere from 12 to 36 hours without food. You could also do a 3 to 5 day water fast, or a longer one such as a 7 to 10 day water fast.\nFor the purpose of this article, we will stick with intermittent fasting strategies that can be applied on a daily or weekly basis.\nWith fasting, we have what we call our building window and our cleansing window. These are defined as follows:\nBuilding Window \u2013 This is the time between your first meal of the day and your last meal. This can also be called the \u201ceating window.\u201d\nCleansing Window \u2013 This is the time between your last meal of one day and the first meal of the next day. This can also be called the \u201cfasting window.\u201d\nFor example, if you ate between noon and 8:00 pm and then fasted until noon the next day, then you would have an 8-hour building window and a 16-hour cleansing window.\nTo begin fasting in a non-intimidating way, I have divided the fasting strategy into 6 variations. Pick one that you feel good with and stick with it, or change it up and challenge yourself with a deeper fast from time to time. Having some sort of a consistent pattern with intermittent fasting is the best way to develop the metabolic flexibility and energy efficiency that will strengthen your body\u2019s internal resistance.\nIf you have never done an intermittent fast before, begin with the simple fast and stick with it for a while until you feel that it is simple. Be sure to drink 8 to 16 ounces of water at a minimum when you first wake up to help reduce morning hunger, prolong the fast, and improve the cleansing process.\nIntermittent Fasting Variations:\nSimple Fast: Basic fast with water only for 12 hours between dinner and breakfast which gives the liver a chance to complete its cycle. Example: Finish dinner at 7:00 pm and don\u2019t eat again until 7:00 am.\nThis is really the best way to start. Everyone \u2013 other than pregnant women and infants \u2013 should be able to do a simple fast. This is the first goal to get into a regular pattern of simple fasting.\nBrunch Fast: This is where you do a 14-hour fast between dinner and breakfast. It is called the brunch fast because you are going to eat your breakfast a bit later than most people do. Example: Finish dinner at 7:00 pm and don\u2019t eat again until 9:00 am.\nCycle Fast: Three times each week you fast for 16 hours by skipping either breakfast or dinner. Example: Finish dinner at 7:00 pm and eat again around 11:00 am to noon the next day. Do this on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday each week.\nStrong Fast: Consume all food in a 6 to 8 hour eating window each day. You would eat 2 meals per day and fast through either breakfast or dinner.\nThere are many types of fasts. Start with a simple fast before gradually working your way up to longer periods of fasting\nExample: This would mean fasting in the morning and eating between noon to 7:00 pm each day or 8:00 am to 3:00 pm each day, or whichever 6- to 8-hour period you like best.\nWarrior Fast: Ancient warriors would often march all day and would feast at night. Consume all food in a 3 to 5 hour eating window each day.\nExample: Consume 2 meals in a 3 to 5 hour eating window such as 2:00 to 6:00 pm or 3:00 to 7:00 pm.\n1-Day Food Fast: For 24 hours each week only consume water, greens powders, and herbal tea. Some people may also consume a diluted organic broth during this fast.\nYou could also do green juices as long as they don\u2019t have any fruit in them other than lemons or limes, which contain very little carbohydrate. As an example, making a green juice with lemon, celery, cucumber, kale, parsley, and ginger root would be acceptable to get nutrients into the body while also maintaining the benefits of the fast.\nOvercoming Challenges with Intermittent Fasting\nMost people will do quite well by reducing starches and sugars and consuming more good fats such as coconut oil, olives, and avocados and incorporating a simple fast each day. The good fats help with blood sugar stability, so the fast will be easier.\nWhen you begin your fast it is important to make sure your blood sugar is stable and you want to focus on hydration during your cleansing window. As mentioned above, I recommend drinking at least 8 to 16 ounces of water in the first 15 minutes after waking.\nOver time you will have a natural craving for more water in the mornings and will easily drink 32 to 48 ounces (at a minimum) of water in the first few hours of waking. I drink one full gallon of clean water (as herbal tea, organic broth, with added lemon or apple cider vinegar, etc.) before noon every day. It gives me incredible energy, takes away hunger, and helps me to move my bowels a few times to fully get rid of the waste from the day before.\nWhile intermittent fasting has numerous benefits, here are a few conditions to be aware of that may make it difficult to sustain longer fasting periods.\nAdrenal Fatigue: When an individual is not able to produce enough stress hormone, they can feel fatigued as they fast.\nConstipation: If the bowels are not moving, it will create a toxic buildup that will drive an increased stress response in the body.\n4 Ways to Deal With Adrenal Fatigue and Constipation\nDrink 8 to 16 ounces of water within 15 minutes of waking up\nSuper Hydration: Drink as much clean (filtered) water, herbal teas, etc. as possible. The hydration will help reduce levels of stress hormones and stimulate bowel motility. Drinking 1 to 2 cups of water immediately upon arising and then continuously hydrating your body throughout your cleansing phase will reduce hunger, stabilize the adrenal glands, and keep your bowels moving appropriately.\nMinerals: We need minerals to produce electrochemical energy and adrenal hormones. When fasting or on a low-carb diet, we excrete sodium, so it is VITAL to replace this mineral in the body. I recommend adding some Himalayan sea salt to your water, using greens powders, or organic broth or bone broths (Organixx makes a very high quality bone broth which is available at https://organixx.com/bonebroth-protein/) during the cleansing phase in order to ensure adequate mineral intake.\nMagnesium supplementation: The body uses magnesium much like a car uses oil. We need magnesium for over 300 vital functions in the body. Magnesium is also key for calming the adrenals and improving bowel motility. Using a good magnesium citrate, glycinate, malate, or threonate supplement can help you function much better during a fast. (You can find a report ranking magnesium supplements here: https://labdoor.com/rankings/magnesium)\nProbiotics: Probiotic supplementation can help to improve bowel tone and reduce gut-induced inflammation that would trigger the adrenals.\nIs Fasting Safe for Everyone?\nFasting is not recommended for women in their 2nd and 3rd trimester of pregnancy\nThe only population groups that should NOT consider fasting are pregnant women, in particular during the 2nd and 3rd trimesters, as their babies are rapidly growing during this stage. During the first trimester, the pregnant mother can do a simple fast so long as she feels good doing it.\nNewborn babies up until 6 to 8 months will most likely not do a simple fast as they are rapidly growing and their bodies need more calories than their small stomachs can handle during a 12-hour feeding period. After about 8 to 9 months, a child will typically sleep for roughly 12 hours overnight and will essentially do a simple fast.\nMost children and teenagers can do a simple fast, although heavy volume athletics may compromise this. If a child is working out intensely for over an hour each day (such as playing basketball or football), then a simple fast may be very challenging.\nEach of these scenarios should be dealt with on a case by case basis, but the same rule of drinking 16 to 32 ounces of water upon arising can help to dramatically reduce morning hunger and extend the fast and cleansing period for the body.\nIncorporating periods of intermittent fasting and using the strategies shared in this article can help your body become stronger and more resilient and help it to fight against the development of chronic diseases.\nFasting is one of the few health modalities that actually saves you money. It has been spoken about by wise men and spiritual leaders throughout the centuries and has the potential to greatly improve the health of your mind, body, and spirit. I hope you are inspired to begin practicing intermittent fasting from here on out!\nThis article first appeared in the January 2017 edition of TTAC\u2019s Heroes Against Cancer newsletter.

        "raw_content": "Healthy Sweetener Options\nRefined sugar is incredibly harmful, and artificial sweeteners are just as bad if not WORSE for humans depending on who you talk to. For this reason, clean eaters are looking for healthy alternatives, and the GOOD NEWS is that there are many low-calorie, low glycemic, whole, organic, nutrient dense sweeteners on the market that taste just as good.\nHoney will not spoil or rot, it can crystallize overtime, but do not mistake this for it going bad. If honey does crystallize, simply loosen the lid and let the jar sit in hot water, as this will allow the honey to liquefy naturally. It is important not to heat honey in a microwave as it will kill the beneficial enzymes. It also stops the growth of bacteria, and when used topically, it heals wounds & minor burns. It relieves sore throats, and is touted for it\u2019s ability to treat high cholesterol and high blood pressure.\nPure Maple Syrup is the product of the sap from sugar maple, red maple or black maple trees, and should not be confused with ordinary syrup made with high fructose corn syrup and imitation maple flavorings. Healthy sweetening foods can be tricky to find if you\u2019re trying to clean up your diet, but researchers have found that the compounds contained in pure maple syrup offer cancer prevention benefits, and the ability to prevent the proliferation of cancer cells. These cancer fighting properties are greater if the syrup is dark in color. Another benefit of pure maple syrup is that it has been found effective in lowering blood glucose levels.\nBlackstrap Molasses is a sweetener that is a healthful sweetener that contains significant amounts of a variety of minerals that promote your health. Unlike refined white sugar and corn syrup, which are stripped of virtually all nutrients except simple carbohydrates. It is also much better than artificial sweeteners like saccharine or aspartame, which not only provide no useful nutrients, but have been shown to cause health problems in sensitive individuals. Blackstrap is darker than other versions and adds a distinct flavor into foods. Molasses supplies energy to your body in the form of simple sugars, or carbohydrates that are readily absorbed by your digestive system providing a quick burst of energy to fuel your activities. Consuming decent amounts of the correct carbohydrates spares your dietary protein, so it can support the maintenance of muscle mass as well as other protein needs. The carbohydrates in molasses also help your body during strenuous physical exertion. Some people have even said that taking blackstrap molasses regularly can prevent your hair from going gray too early, and that it can change graying hair back to it\u2019s original color.\nNavitas Naturals Coconut Palm Sugar is an ideal replacement for regular sugar. It\u2019s low-glycemic, has a wonderful brown sugar flavor, that works well for baking. It also dissolves easily in hot and cold liquids. A sweet bonus: coconut sugar\u2019s nutritional profile includes amino acids, potassium, magnesium, zinc, iron and B vitamins, and it is low on the gycemic index so it enters the blood stream more slowly to help curb blood sugar spikes!\nLucuma Powder offers an abundance of healthy benefits when added to your favorite food or beverage. In addition to satisfying your sweet tooth, this powdered all natural, organic sweetener is also gluten-free and an amazing source of antioxidants to boost the immune system, fiber, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals necessary for bodily functions. I use Navitas Naturals Lucuma Powder, that is made from whole Peruvian lucuma fruit that they dry at low temperatures and mill into a fine powder. It is also a is low-glycemic sweetener like Coconut Palm Sugar, contains many nutrients including beta-carotene, iron, zinc, vitamin B3, calcium and protein, and has a unique, maple-like taste that\u2019s perfect for a variety of recipes. Lucuma provides 14 essential trace elements, including a considerable amount of potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus. Studies has shown it has anti-inflammatory effects and is wonderful for wound healing, promoting tissue regeneration and skin aging.\nApart from being a healthy and safe sugar substitute, Monk Fruit is widely used for the treatments of whooping cough, constipation, acute bronchitis, acute tonsillitis, sore throats, cute gastritis, etc. Different parts of Monk Fruit have different medicinal uses. The mashed root is able to help psoriasis & boils, while external use of the fruit hair can be used for wounds. Monk Fruit tea can be a cool refreshing drink that can prevent respiratory infections, and provide longevity if used on a daily basis. In addition, the monk fruit concentrate and extract are often utilized as a condiment to make nourishing stew, broth, cakes, candy, cookies, granules, syrups, fruit essence, cough syrup, and so on.\nStevia is a sweetener that has become immensely popular in recent years. Stevia is a 100% natural, zero calorie sweetener with a number of health benefits that have been confirmed in human studies. It is a green, leafy plant that is native to South America, and has been used for medicinal purposes for many centuries. The plant has also been bred for its strong, sweet flavor and used as a sweetener. Stevia comes in either liquid or a powder, or a version of the plant\u2019s isolated sweet compounds, that are hundreds of times sweeter than sugar.",

        "raw_content": "Man: What is the most important thing for success on the path?\nKen: Wanting truth is the key. Lesser motivations won't sustain you over the long haul \u2014 and awakening does not happen quickly enough for most of us. Wanting a better life or some kind of success may get you started on the path but will not hold up for the duration, especially the difficult portions of the path. Only a desire for the truth will sustain you for the entire journey.\nAnd a desire for the truth will help protect you from the dangers along the way, especially that of false or deluded teachers. If you are committed to truth \u2014 that is, to not deceiving yourself \u2014 you cannot be ensnared by a false teacher for very long. For a false teaching to succeed there needs to be collusion between the pseudo-teacher and the student. If you are rigorously honest with yourself that cannot happen for very long and you will move on.\nMan: What do you mean by wanting the truth? What is this truth that you want?\nKen: The truth is not some fixed static thing that you get once and for all. It is the moment to moment seeing what is happening and responding from that clarity. There is no fixed something or other that is the truth. Truth is your experience of life unfolding moment by moment. It is seeing what is.\nMan: That sounds abstract. Can you give some examples?\nKen: Yes. For instance, it is necessary to see ourselves as we are, not as we might like or imagine ourselves to be. Often a person who appears to be very \"nice\" and agreeable needs to acknowledge the buried anger and resentment that they are holding. They have built up an image of themselves as very good, helpful people and it can be difficult to face the buried hostility. Or conversely, you may be a very up-front, aggressive, take command person. This kind of person often finds it difficult to acknowledge the part of them that feels weak and vulnerable; indeed, it threatens their whole self-image. But until we see and fully acknowledge what lies behind our persona we will remain stuck. This unacknowledged material will influence our lives in ways that are harmful.\nMan: These seem to be psychological issues rather than spiritual. What do they have to do with the spiritual path?\nKen: There is a very deep misunderstanding of what the spiritual path is. The spiritual path deals with what is; both what appears to be and what actually is. In actuality we are buddhas, or a part of god. But that is not how we perceive ourselves or how we function in the world. Though we are this absolute quality we have lost that in our daily functioning. We think we are this person or that person with these problems and these situations. Thus we need to see how we function on a daily basis, how our minds are put together, how our thoughts affect our emotions and how our emotions influence our thoughts.\nIt is only by unmasking the operations of our personal dynamics that we get free of them and can return to our original nature. We cannot leapfrog over our conditioning. If, through good fortune, we touch into what we really are, that experience will be lost or captured by our personality. One of the reasons there are so many religious traditions, paths, and sects in the world is that the originators or founders had a glimpse of reality but did not work through their own conditioning sufficiently and did not understand their own limitations. Thus, these various sects, paths and -isms are tainted with personal elements and are incomplete or misleading and, while they may help you along somewhat, they do not provide a complete understanding or a way to radically liberate yourself.\nMan: But aren't these teachings still helpful?\nKen: Yes and no. Yes, in the sense that anything that helps you become more aware of yourself or pushes you into new experiences can help move you along. No, in the sense that you may become trapped by these teachings (perhaps out of gratitude for the help they have provided) without realizing that they are keeping you from further progress. The story is told of the egg of a flying bird that has fallen, without breaking, out of its nest in a tree and is found and raised by a land bird. Though it has been given its life, the land bird is unable to help it fulfill its destiny because it will not be encouraged to fly, there being no nest in the tree to be pushed out of, nor does the land bird understand its potential for flight.\nThis is where your commitment to truth is very important. If you are honest with yourself you will see that you have settled for something less than the truth, like being accepted warmly in a group, finding friends or learning enough to achieve worldly success. Perhaps, the sense of truth is that quietly nagging inner voice that says \"There is something still missing, no matter how improved life is.\" Perhaps it is a vague dissatisfaction that keeps you moving until you realize your true nature.\nMan: But haven't we been taught that acceptance is part of the spiritual path, that chronic dissatisfaction is kind of neurotic?\nKen: We are not talking about the usual dissatisfactions like I want to lose weight, I need to make more money, I wish I had more friends, etc. This is not the mind complaining about something. It is a very subtle sense of lack, that something is missing without being clear on what that something is. We can't know what is missing, it is truly beyond the ability of the mind to grasp.\nPerhaps we sense that in spite of our success in a conventional sense that we lack inner peace, that we lack the ability to just be with ourselves. Society sells us on so many things that we are told will make us happy but do not. If you look at your life and examine what happens when you get what you want; does it really leave you fulfilled or is there still some sense of unease?\nPerhaps this awareness of the insufficiency of what we are told should make us happy is part of an affinity for the truth. In the Hindu tradition they have a saying; Neti, neti which means \"not this, not that\". It means to keep on looking at your life and dismissing that which does not truly fulfill until you come to that which truly leaves you at peace with yourself and the world. That is awakening or enlightenment.\nYou need to examine what works in your life and what doesn't. But you must be rigorously honest with yourself. The best way to do that is to be in touch with your feelings. Your feelings will tell you how something affects you. This circumvents mental processing which can be highly misleading. You can believe or disbelieve anything you want to, but your feelings usually do not lie.\nWhen you have been with a person see how you feel afterwards. Are you calm or agitated? Do you have more or less energy? Is your mind quieter or busier? Are you looking forward to seeing this person again? This last one is a little tricky because if you are, then that is a subtle form of disturbance, a desire for something in the future. Many apparently good things backfire because you want more of them and that creates problems.\nMan: Does this sense of truth involve other people?\nKen: Not really. This affinity or wanting truth is something internal. With respect to other people it means that you need to see them clearly. Because you like or love someone else does not mean that you whitewash their failings. Or, conversely, because we are angry at or dislike someone does not mean we will indulge our minds tendency to make them wrong about everything or overlook their strong points. We do not allow ourselves to mentally paint fantasies of others that suit our needs or moods.\nWith yourself, you must be ruthlessly honest. The worst thing we can do is to lie to ourselves. There are times when it might be appropriate or expeditious for us to lie to someone else. But we have to acknowledge to ourselves that we are lying. If we fool ourselves we are sowing the seeds for future suffering.",

        "raw_content": "Round Round Round the Bend\nThe Indigo Girls Fill It Up Again\nWell, the brain surgeons at the WB canceled Angel this week.\nIf you\u2019re not a fan of the show, you won\u2019t give a crap, but as for me, it\u2019s the only TV show I watch with any regularity. Angel is a spinoff of my beloved Buffy the Vampire Slayer, created and produced by Joss Whedon, perhaps network television\u2019s only remaining genius. And while it has always suffered in comparison to its sister show, Angel is still one of the smartest, funniest, most inventive things to hit the airwaves since pretty much ever. Its passing will leave the cultural wasteland a far worse place.\nMore importantly, though, this decision by the WB seems like the final act of a dastardly plot that has finally succeeded in driving Whedon from the networks completely. He\u2019s just barely recovered from the fiasco that was Firefly over on Fox. Here was a show that pretty much reinvented televised science fiction, breaking fully free from the Star Trek model. Here was a show full of engaging and mysterious characters, sparkling dialogue, and endless surprises. How did Fox treat this gift Whedon had given them? Well, let\u2019s see. They aired the second episode first, leaving new viewers totally confused. They gave it no promotion, and they canned it after 11 episodes. Nice, guys.\nSo Buffy\u2018s seven-year run is over, Firefly has been executed and its corpse dressed up in a bittersweet DVD package, and now Angel is ending, seasons earlier than expected, and despite a decent ratings boost from last year. And for the first time since 1997, there will be no Joss Whedon show in the fall lineup this year. And I think I\u2019m giving up television entirely. We still have eight Angel episodes left, and they\u2019re still as off-the-cuff brilliant as ever \u2013 witness this week\u2019s ep, in which our titular vampire investigates a haunted children\u2019s program and is turned into a puppet, complete with three-fingered hands and permanent scowl. Next week\u2019s was even written and directed by Whedon himself. But it\u2019s somehow less exciting now.\nThere\u2019s the obligatory petition online, but I\u2019m not sure it will do any good. I think the best case scenario would be this \u2013 Whedon goes away and makes his Firefly movie, and then comes back and pitches something equally brilliant to HBO. It seems to be where all the visionaries are headed these days.\nSo there\u2019s this old band called Human Radio that I love. They only released one album, self-titled, but it remains one of the most criminally overlooked pieces of smartass pop I\u2019ve yet heard. Imagine the Beatles hanging out with Stevie Wonder (when he was good) and inviting violinist Sugar Cane Harris to come jam with them, and you\u2019ve kind of got the idea. Plus frontman Ross Rice wrote some terrific songs, witty and weaving wonders that transcend the dated production of the album. Last I heard from him, he\u2019d made his nifty solo debut, Umpteen, in 1997, and then disappeared.\nImagine my surprise, then, to discover Rice\u2019s website, complete with a first-person history of the Human Radio days. And imagine my further shock and delight to find that the band recorded a whole second album, one which was never released. Ten legal and sanctioned downloads later, I became the proud owner of a copy of Human Radio II.\nAnd it\u2019s good stuff. It\u2019s not quite on par with the first one, but I\u2019ve had more than 10 years to dig into that one, so we\u2019ll see if the sophomore effort holds up over time. There are some embarrassments (\u201cThis House,\u201d \u201cThink Too Much\u201d), but there are also some glittering gems like opener \u201cYesterday Girl\u201d and sweet love song \u201c15 Million Worlds Apart.\u201d The prize here is \u201cWhile You Were Sleeping,\u201d which has vaulted over some long-loved favorites as my pick for best Human Radio song. And to think I might never have heard it at all. So thanks, Ross.\nIt\u2019s like Christmas.\nMy favorite CD of the year so far only has four songs on it.\nYou can guess that this has caused me some consternation \u2013 by my current set of rules, this record won\u2019t be eligible for the Top 10 List in December. And while I certainly hope there will be 10 better albums than this EP in 2004, and I don\u2019t foresee a big problem, at the moment my favorite record is again disqualified.\nI am talking here about the Bens, and their self-titled four-song EP. The Bens are Ben Folds, Ben Kweller and Ben Lee, and I hope these four songs are merely a teaser for a full-length record, because they seem to have combined their strengths beautifully here. Opener \u201cJust Pretend\u201d is a sweet breeze, \u201cXFire\u201d is a trashy \u201980s pop tune complete with synth vocals, \u201cStop\u201d is a lo-fi winner, and closer \u201cBruised\u201d is just perfection, Folds in the lead with his voice and piano. The three Bens take turns singing lead, and they harmonize gloriously.\nSimply put, this is four different shades of terrific pop. The EP is only available at shows and online. The Bens are continuing with upcoming solo projects, including Kweller\u2019s On My Way and Folds\u2019 still-untitled project, but it would be a shame if they decided not to continue this partnership. This is 14 solid minutes of pop bliss, folks. Like the man said, it\u2019s all about the Benjamins.\nAnd now I have to try to find something new to say about the Indigo Girls.\nThis is not an easy task. Emily Saliers and Amy Ray have been doing what they do so well for so long that pretty much everything one can say about their sound has been said. For nine albums now, the Girls have plied their stock-in-trade: wonderfully written folk, rock and pop songs, sung by two voices that were born to go together. We\u2019re talking about a career that\u2019s just vaulted past the 15-year mark. We\u2019re talking about one of the most loyal cult followings in the country. We\u2019re talking about one of the most important and influential folk music successes since the days of Joan Baez. What more can I add?\nAll I can do is tell you about the new album, All That We Let In, and put it in perspective with the rest of their catalog. Do I even need to mention here that it\u2019s another really good one? Didn\u2019t think so.\nLast decade, the Indigos released a series of albums that expanded their sound exponentially. The songs remained pretty much the same, but the production grew and grew. 1998\u2019s Shaming of the Sun felt like critical mass, and 2000\u2019s Come On Now Social slipped into overload. How sweet, then, was 2002\u2019s Become You, a knowing return to the Girls\u2019 acoustic roots. All That We Let In continues in the same vein, with a few more pop leanings. It bears the most resemblance to Rites of Passage, actually -acoustic guitars prevail, pianos and mandolins augment, and the Girls sing beautifully as usual.\nThe album is a joy right from the start. It opens with \u201cFill It Up Again,\u201d simply the best and sprightliest single they\u2019ve released since \u201cGalileo.\u201d True to its title, it\u2019s about replenishing, about finding roads and places that re-energize: \u201cYou\u2019ve been the hole in my sky, my shrinking water supply, before my well runs dry, I\u2019m going round the bend and fill it up again,\u201d Saliers sings, with perfect accompaniment from Ray. Really, if this song is not at least a minor hit, then something\u2019s wrong, and radio has lost touch with the sort of songs that made pop music great in the first place.\n\u201cFill It Up Again\u201d is so perfectly formed that leading with it could have cast the rest of the record in a bad light. Though it never again achieves that level of energy, the album doesn\u2019t flag \u2013 the remaining 10 songs are all winners too. Saliers has tapped into her melodic folk well again, delivering unabashedly sentimental numbers like \u201cFree In You\u201d and the lovely \u201cCome On Home.\u201d On the latter she offers another sweet song of support, like many she\u2019s written before, but they never get old. \u201cI\u2019m stacking sandbags against the river of your troubles,\u201d she sings, and it melts your heart.\nAmy Ray has long been the more political and explosive of the two, and while this album never ignites with the fury of her solo album, she does contribute an edge here. One song in particular, \u201cTether,\u201d cranks up the electrics for four minutes of concerned observation: \u201cCan we bring it together, can we call from the mountain to the valley below? Can we make it better, do we tether the hawk, do we tether the dove?\u201d Similarly, she notes in \u201cPerfect World\u201d that all we need do to make the song\u2019s title a reality is \u201clook the other way.\u201d\nBut this is not a political record. If you want a boiling reaction to world events, you might want to try recent Ani Difranco albums. The Girls these days are more about love and beauty, and their music is all the better for it. Even a song called \u201cRise Up,\u201d which in days past might have mentioned oppression and injustice, even hintingly, is here about finding new life in yourself and others: \u201cJust move to the music, move your body to the band and rise up.\u201d All That We Let In is another in a hopefully endless series of great Indigo Girls folk-pop albums, full of laughter and joy and small, wonderful delights. And in a way, making an album like this these days is a political statement all its own.\nMy inner geek cannot let me end this review without mentioning the album\u2019s cover art. It\u2019s by Jaime Hernandez, one of the famous Los Bros Hernandez who write and draw the superb comic Love and Rockets for Fantagraphics. Hernandez even crafted a wordless comics story for the interior booklet pages, and his work makes this gorgeous little album even more so. Jaime has dedicated most of his artistic life to chronicling the lives of his spunky creations Maggie and Hopey, and those stories are soon to be collected in a deluxe hardcover called Locas. Check him out here.\nNext week the deluge begins, with new records by Jonatha Brooke, Jonny Greenwood, Grant-Lee Phillips, Starflyer 59, and advance peeks at forthcoming discs by Peter Mulvey and Dada. Hope I can clear my schedule\u2026",

        "raw_content": "Or, the British Invasion, Day 15,350\nI\u2019m still not sure what I think of the new Coldplay album.\nI\u2019ve given myself the better part of a week, listening to nothing else, and I still don\u2019t have a cast-iron opinion ready to go. I suppose that\u2019s a good sign for the record \u2013 previous Coldplay albums had me either excited or bored by the second listen. I\u2019ve heard the new one, portentously titled Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends, about 12 times now. Each time is a different experience \u2013 one trip through, and the record will click, and I\u2019ll sing its praises. Another, and I\u2019ll stumble over each one of its flaws.\nI will say this up front \u2013 this is a bold album for Coldplay. They\u2019ve never been known as the most daring band, and I criticized their last effort, 2004\u2019s X&Y, for being too timid. The band stretched out a bit on about half the songs, but played it safe on the others, aiming for the charts. Perhaps, I mused, the band was a bit too concerned with the expectations placed upon them, and the hundreds of suit-and-tie drones who would be affected by a low-selling album.\nIf they were before, they\u2019re not now. For their fourth outing, Coldplay hired Brian Eno to twiddle the knobs. Eno is perhaps best known as part of the production team behind U2\u2019s biggest albums: The Unforgettable Fire, The Joshua Tree and Achtung Baby. He\u2019s also an electronic music pioneer, and a master of reinvention \u2013 he produced Paul Simon\u2019s dazzling Surprise in 2006, introducing Simon to trip-hop beats and ambient soundscapes.\nTogether, Eno and the band deliberately stripped away everything identifiably Coldplay from the new material. Gone are the willowy piano ballads, gone is the majestic mid-tempo pop the band made its name with, and gone is the reliance on Martin\u2019s voice and emotional resonance. I\u2019m sure there are discs and discs full of outtakes that sound like Coldplay, but none of them made it to Viva la Vida. It is a strikingly different, frequently marvelous transformation, but it rarely sounds like the same band that made A Rush of Blood to the Head.\nThis is good and bad news. There\u2019s little doubt in my mind that Viva la Vida is a transitional work, that Coldplay used the sessions to throw new sounds at the wall and see what stuck. What emerges, though, is a series of homages to other bands. \u201cLovers in Japan\u201d is so U2 that Bono and company could have grounds for a lawsuit. \u201c42\u201d (a sly Douglas Adams reference, just like their earlier \u201cDon\u2019t Panic\u201d) is their Radiohead pastiche, grafting a Thom Yorke piano melody to a Jonny Greenwood guitar workout. \u201cLost!\u201d is Us-era Peter Gabriel. \u201cStrawberry Swing\u201d is David Byrne through and through.\nThe good news, though, is that Coldplay convincingly sells each of these sounds, and occasionally comes up with their own. The album opens with an instrumental, \u201cLife in Technicolor,\u201d that marries a shimmering synth line to some terrific guitar work from Jonny Buckland. That segues into \u201cCemeteries of London,\u201d a haunting, wonderful piece with an otherworldly \u201cla-la-la\u201d chorus. And \u201cLost!,\u201d for all its Gabriel tricks \u2013 front-and-center organ, hand percussion, etc. \u2013 is a great song, with a great first line: \u201cJust because I\u2019m losing doesn\u2019t mean I\u2019m lost\u2026\u201d\nThis is an album with a sprawling array of sounds, but it\u2019s surprisingly compact \u2013 13 songs in about 45 minutes. Only a few of these songs break four minutes, and those only by a couple of seconds. It\u2019s quite the trick. Viva la Vida is a short trip through a surprising number of different neighborhoods \u2013 dig the Middle Eastern string lines on \u201cYes,\u201d the circular guitars of hidden track \u201cChinese Sleep Chant,\u201d and the John Lennon-style vocal effects on \u201cViolet Hill.\u201d\nThe final track, \u201cDeath and All His Friends,\u201d is mesmerizing \u2013 a low-key piano piece segues into a stunning instrumental explosion, some choral vocals, and a too-quick fade-out. But not to worry \u2013 the album actually ends with hidden track \u201cThe Escapist,\u201d which brings back the synth shimmers from \u201cLife in Technicolor\u201d and adds some sweet, sad vocals and strings to them. It\u2019s perhaps the most beautiful thing here, and the song that most effectively uses Eno\u2019s penchant for ambient music.\nFor all that, though, the album isn\u2019t particularly memorable, at least on first listen. The choruses are subtle, the melodies buried, and the soaring arena-pop sound the band worked so hard to cultivate is all but missing. Thank God, then, for \u201cViva la Vida,\u201d the most Coldplay-esque song here. Over swelling strings, Martin unleashes the best melody on the album, and for once, his voice is right up front. You won\u2019t forget this song once you hear it \u2013 it\u2019s simple, effective, and astonishingly well-produced. (For example, the drums never kick in once, and yet, you could dance to this.) This is what I was hoping for from the fourth Coldplay album \u2013 a natural, organic growth of their sound, instead of a rejection of it.\nBut honestly, this album is pretty marvelous. Coldplay has been taking baby steps forward since their first record, but on Viva la Vida, which takes its name from a Frida Kahlo painting and its cover art from a depiction of the French Revolution, they rip up the maps. Listen after listen, I\u2019m continually knocked out by the band\u2019s willingness to experiment \u2013 they run the risk of leaving their old fans in the dust with this album, but it\u2019s the first one that really tries to earn them their status among the most important bands in the world. And given a few listens, even those fans who miss the old sound will find much to love here.\nI\u2019m not sure why I\u2019ve given Coldplay such a hard time for swiping other bands\u2019 sounds. Many of my favorite artists do the same thing all the time \u2013 hell, it\u2019s a trademark for some of them. Music is a neverending cycle, feeding off its own history. As Todd Rundgren once said, \u201cLouie Louie\u201d is \u201cMore Than a Feeling\u201d is \u201cSmells Like Teen Spirit,\u201d forever and ever, amen.\nThe British do it better than anyone. In the 1960s, they took the all-American template for rock \u2018n\u2019 roll and perfected it \u2013 they gave us the sleazy barroom side with the Rolling Stones and the literate pop-rock side with the Beatles, and we\u2019ve been cribbing from both of them ever since. Americans invented the blues, too, but it\u2019s British white guy Eric Clapton who has arguably had the most success with that art form. And in the 1970s, a little Brit band you may have heard of called Led Zeppelin took the old blues sound, ripped it off completely, and refashioned it as thunderous, godlike, capital-R Rock.\nBritish rock has been feeding off itself for decades. Sure to be in my top 10 list is Join With Us, the second album by the Feeling \u2013 they rip off Electric Light Orchestra and 10cc and countless other British pop bands of the last 40 years. And I don\u2019t even need to mention the dozens of bands taking pages from Radiohead\u2019s book, including Coldplay and Travis and Muse and on and on. That\u2019s what pop music is all about \u2013 you take the good stuff from your predecessors and try to move it forward.\nWhich brings us to Supergrass, one of the finest British burglar bands around. I liked their first three records well enough, but their fourth, Life on Other Planets, was a masterpiece. Not only did the quartet, led by brothers Gaz and Rob Coombes, swipe a hundred different styles and puree them together, but each element was produced to sound vintage. If the bass line was taken from the Velvet Underground, well then, it would damn well sound like a VU bassline, even as it supported a Beatles piano sound and a Who guitar figure. For a music history junkie, it was a lot of fun.\n2005\u2019s Road to Rouen wasn\u2019t nearly as enjoyable \u2013 it felt like a last gasp, in fact. So I\u2019m pleased to report that album number six, the regrettably titled Diamond Hoo Ha, is all kinds of awesome, a grand return to form.\nFor starters, this one simply rocks. The guitars are dirty, the drums explosive, the electric pianos funky, and Gaz Coombes\u2019 voice wonderfully ragged. After the dark and brief Rouen, Diamond Hoo Ha is a party in a box. Of course, its most blatant rip-off is right up front \u2013 \u201cDiamond Hoo Ha Man\u201d steals the guitar riff from Zeppelin\u2019s \u201cMoby Dick,\u201d grafting on a great chorus. It\u2019s a rock and roll monster, and \u201cBad Blood\u201d is even better, all flailing drums and thick six-string. This is Supergrass as live band \u2013 the energy on this album just bursts out of the speakers.\nThat energy never flags, either. The first hint of a slowdown is \u201cGhost of a Friend,\u201d at track eight, but even this acoustic piece, reminiscent of Jay Ferguson\u2019s songs for Sloan, is propelled ever onward by Danny Goffey\u2019s double-time drums. Towards the end, the band gets more experimental \u2013 you simply must hear the horns and chanting on the intro to \u201cWhiskey and Green Tea,\u201d before the song explodes into a guitar-and-sax fiesta. But the record never loses steam.\nMidway through Diamond Hoo Ha, Gaz Coombes celebrates \u201cthe return of inspiration,\u201d and he\u2019s right to. The album is informed by a hundred different rock-pop-funk records, but the result is thoroughly Supergrass, and is their finest album in years.\nThe best artists find ways to weave their influences into their own sound. Supergrass are there \u2013 the songs on Diamond Hoo Ha don\u2019t usually bring specific antecedents to mind, the title track notwithstanding. The last of our British pop bands this week is not quite there yet \u2013 their influences are firmly on their sleeves, and certain songs absolutely take from certain other songs. But that hasn\u2019t stopped them from making one of my favorite bursts of pop-and-roll to come out this year.\nThe band is the Hoosiers, out of London, not Indiana. Their album The Trick to Life was released in October of last year in the UK, which disqualifies it for this year\u2019s top 10 list, even though it came out a month or so ago on these shores. That\u2019s a shame, because it would probably make it \u2013 The Trick to Life is a whirlwind 37-minute synthesis of Jeff Buckley and ELO, cribbing from a million things at once and ending up with a slice of near-perfect pop.\nLet\u2019s get the rip-offs out of the way first. Lead track \u201cWorried About Ray\u201d takes the verse melody from \u201cHappy Together\u201d by the Turtles, then shoots it into orbit with a thunderous chorus. Lead singer Irwin Sparkes can hit the high notes like a junior Freddie Mercury, although his most obvious vocal influence is Buckley \u2013 you can hear his songwriting style all over \u201cRun Rabbit Run,\u201d among others. \u201cCops and Robbers\u201d sounds an awful lot like \u201cThe Lovecats\u201d by the Cure, and \u201cGoodbye Mr. A\u201d borrows a bunch from ELO\u2019s \u201cMr. Blue Sky.\u201d\nBut I dare you to care while you\u2019re listening to this thing. The Trick to Life barrels forward, throwing one awesome melody after another at you \u2013 \u201cWorst Case Scenario\u201d is an amazing two minutes, and if you can sit still for the whole thing, you\u2019re probably dead. The aforementioned \u201cGoodbye Mr. A\u201d is fan-bloody-tastic, zipping from one wild melody to the next. At 4:27, it\u2019s the longest song here. Every one of these little pop gems is exactly as long as it needs to be.\nIf you think head-spinning pop music is all the Hoosiers have to offer, think again. They take a liberal dose of epic rock from Buckley, especially on stunners like \u201cA Sadness Runs Through Him.\u201d It\u2019s on the acoustic-based, slower tunes, like \u201cClinging On for Life,\u201d that Sparkes stretches out vocally, whipping out a strong falsetto, and the other two band members match him with Queen-worthy harmonies. For the emotional high point, listen to \u201cEverything Goes Dark.\u201d Over a simple acoustic figure, Sparkes gives his best vocal performance here, reaching impossibly high in the verses and stretching the word \u201cdark\u201d into the most memorable melody on the album.\nYeah, the Hoosiers pilfer from more artists than I can count, but I oddly don\u2019t care \u2013 the songs, the sound, the overall vibe of The Trick to Life is just so much fun. It\u2019s not as self-consciously important as Coldplay\u2019s record, and it doesn\u2019t integrate its influences as well as Supergrass\u2019 effort, but I find myself returning to the Hoosiers disc more often. When they learn to only take what they need, building their own sound and using their influences as decoration, they\u2019re going to be an amazing band. The seeds are there, they just need to water and grow them.\nNext week, Sigur Ros and Fleet Foxes. And the second quarter report.",

        "title": "Why Same-Sex Marriage Is a Communion-Dividing Issue",
        "raw_content": "Why Same-Sex Marriage Is a Communion-Dividing Issue\nUM News Service reporter Heather Hahn recently recounted the third forum on sexuality held by the Connectional Table, this one in Mozambique. I was intrigued by the views of Bishop Christian Alsted of the Nordic and Baltic Area. Alsted \u201csaid some of the conferences he serves want to allow same-sex marriages and gay ordination, while others would be opposed to such a move. Still others, he said, are split on the question. But he sees no reason those differences should threaten the church unity. \u2018It has always been part of my understanding of our DNA that we as United Methodists are willing to ask the hard questions\u2026 and to do this with respect, grace and compassion.\u2019\u201d When asked what might happen if the church changed its position on marriage and sexuality, \u201cAlsted said some churches would welcome the development while he is sure others \u2018would consider leaving the connection.\u2019\u201d\n\u201c\u2019However, it is a mystery for me that this one issue has become such a dominant issue within our denomination and in our society, and that presents a problem,\u2019 he said. \u2018The issue of human sexuality, in particular homosexuality, is an important issue. But it does not have the significance or importance to split us as a church. And if we go in that direction, I wonder what we will think of our past in 50 years.\u2019\u201d\nI agree with Alsted that \u201cUnited Methodists are [and ought to be] willing to ask the hard questions\u201d and engage one another \u201cwith respect, grace, and compassion\u201d (at least on our better days). But his statements bring up the important question, whether the issue of homosexuality has \u201cthe significance or importance to split us as a church.\u201d I believe this issue is a communion-dividing issue for at least three reasons:\n1) Empirically, it has already proven to be a communion-dividing issue for many other Protestant Christians. The United Church of Christ, The Episcopal Church, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, and the Presbyterian Church (USA) have all experienced denominational separation after changing their position on marriage and ordination for same-sex persons. In addition, thousands of persons have left Mainline congregations, including The United Methodist Church, over the past 20 years due to struggles over what we believe about sexuality. Churches who become \u201cReconciling\u201d often lose a significant percentage of their membership. One can say that it doesn\u2019t have to be that way, but evidently many people do see a change in the church\u2019s position as a reason to separate.\n2) Evangelicals view compromising the church\u2019s teaching on marriage and sexuality as a violation of biblical authority. We say that we believe the Bible is \u201cthe true rule and guide for faith and practice. Whatever is not revealed in or established by the Holy Scriptures is not to be made an article of faith nor is it to be taught as essential to salvation\u201d (Confession of Faith, Article IV). Yet that is precisely what advocates of same-sex marriage are proposing, making the affirmation of same-sex behavior an article of faith. Scripture is clear on this matter, as we say in our Book of Discipline, all persons are of sacred worth and loved by God, but homosexual behavior is not consistent with God\u2019s will for us. I have read many different attempts to portray an alternative interpretation of Scripture that would allow same-sex marriage. By and large, these are rationalizations, not faithful interpretations of the Bible. The best any of them can say is that the words of Scripture do not mean what they say, or that they no longer apply to us today. There is no positive warrant in Scripture endorsing same-sex behavior. Against that is 2,000 years of Christian teaching and an additional 1,000+ years of Jewish teaching about the complementarity of the sexes and the meaning of marriage. These teachings were promulgated in many different cultural situations, some of which allowed or even embraced homosexual behavior. Yet the teaching has remained consistent throughout that God\u2019s design is for marriage between man and woman \u2014 and most ideally between one man and one woman for life. Given the stress on obedience in the Bible, including in the words of Jesus, for the church to turn its back on biblical teaching would leave many evangelicals no choice but to separate.\n3) Alsted (along with Rev. Adam Hamilton and a number of other church leaders) seems to believe that it is possible for the church to exist with part of it endorsing same-sex marriage and ordination and part of it opposing this. However, proponents of same-sex affirmation would not be satisfied with such a situation. Even Hamilton views that accommodation as only a temporary one, until the older generations die and the younger generations are in a position to change the church for everyone. If by some chance a compromise were reached that would allow people to live according to whatever they personally believe, it would not last long. Advocates for same-sex affirmation view their cause as a civil rights issue on par with slavery, racism, and discrimination against women. Just as the church could (rightly) not exist \u201chalf slave and half free,\u201d or segregated by race, or not giving women full equality in every part of the church, so same-sex advocates will not rest until every part of the church affirms the goodness of same-sex marriage and the endorsement of homosexual behavior. Anyone who cannot agree with such a program will eventually be forced to leave the church. What is the difference if that separation happens now or in 20-30 years? It will happen just the same.\nMuch as I would like to believe that persons holding different views on human sexuality and having different practices regarding marriage and ordination could all live together in the same church body, I do not believe it is possible. For either side to live with the other\u2019s actions would require each side to give up their deeply held convictions and violate their consciences. This truly is a communion-dividing issue.\nYes it is a communion dividing issue. Do any of our bishops have anything meaningful to say? Are they all a bunch of \u201ccompany men\u201d who just \u201ctow the line\u201d?\nI don\u2019t what is going to happen with us as a denomination but I long for a day when we have bishops who speak with passion for orthodox Christianity.\nSonja LeVan says:\nI have always believed the Bible is the guideline on how we should live\u2026..It is sad that part of the Denomination wants us to turn our backs on God and his teaching in his word\u2026\u2026If we do that\u2026..We will stand before God and He will say\u2026.\u201dI never knew you\u201d\u2026\u2026WE NEED TO DEVIDE NOW!!\u2026..Social issues (worldly views) are draging us down into the pit!!!\u2026..SHAME ON THE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH FOR PUTTING UP WITH THIS\u2026..If we do not rectify this now, it might be too late and if we do not stand up and oppose it then we are just as guilty as those that propose this worldly way of thinking that \u201ca man laying with a man or a woman laying with a woman is ok\u201d\u2026\u2026So I would say, Which is your master\u2026\u2026.The world or God!!!\u2026..Stand up and be counted for God\u2019s Glory!\nAmen to your comments about using scripture to defend God\u2019s Word on sexuality. That this is even a debate is unbelievable to me! Just check out Genesis 19, Leviticus 18:22, 20:13, Romans 1:26-27, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, 18-20, 1 Timothy 1:9-11, Jude 1:4-7. It\u2019s bad enough when the world perverts God\u2019s will and tramples on His Word, but when the church does it, it is terrifying. We better get ready to defend our faith because persecution is on its way, even inside the church.\nIt is a mystery to me why it is a mystery to Alsted that why homosexuality has become such a dominant issue in the denomination when Bible revisionists have been pushing it since the beginnings of the denomination.\nAs Tom says, it is a matter of Biblical authority. It is not just about homosexuality, that is just the primary presenting issue because that is what Bible revisionists have made of it. It is about a rejection of the authority of the word of God and thus a rejection of the authority of God Himself.\nHow can this not be a communion-dividing issue?\nRick Rhodes says:\nWe are not authorized by God to change his word to fit this unruly world. This is the slow work of satan to keep wiggling his way into the Church and as we know, satan hates the church. Love the sinner but despise the sin. Leave the Holy word \u201cMarriage\u201d to one man + one woman united by God. Let the same sex union be just that a \u201cUnion\u201d by man\u2019s law. Keep the sacred word \u201cMarriage\u201d reserved for those of us who try to honor God\u2019s Holy Word as it is.\nI am fearful of the way the church is going. We should not even try to change God\u2019s word. The bible states the the word was god! We will end in hell if we try to change the word. Bishops need to get a backbone and honor gods word.\nCommenting on your numbered list:\n(1)\tUMC now \u2013 and also in 2016 and 2020 \u2013 is in a hugely different place in terms of (a) public opinion and (b) legal status of same sex marriage. Marriage equality makes all the difference because if gives gay folk equal opportunity as straight folk to follow the traditional Christian ethic of chastity in singleness and faithfulness in marriage. That why it is no longer just a \u201cliberal cause\u201d (politically) or a \u201cprogressive cause\u201d (theologically). We will not see same degree of fallout as those other denominations you cited. Remember the folks who have been leaving UMC also includes gay-friendly folks too due to UMC\u2019s increasingly out-of-touch stance.\n(2)\tOur UMC caucus groups do not speak for all evangelicals. The biggest developments in 2014 has been the growing shift in opinion by evangelical leaders. I\u2019m not saying it is majority, but we seem to be at a huge transition (especially with younger generations). See 2014 books by evangelical biblical scholar James Brownson, evangelical ethicist David Gushee and young gay evangelical Christian Matthew Vines. The evangelical camp now has strong voices who take a high view of biblical authority in establishing their SSM-affirming argument as biblically-grounded. (Personally, I\u2019m more moderate theologically and just a lay person. But deep in my heart, and after a lot of study, I feel that the traditional church view of homosexuals is not consistent with God\u2019s message as revealed in scripture and through the example of Jesus Christ).\n(3)\tI\u2019m a person who is affirms SSM but also values the full range of theological diversity within our communion; most of us are somewhere in between. Pardon me for seeing the charge that affirming Methodists will run out the non-affirming Methodists as just a scare tactic. I don\u2019t think the liberals want to do that, and I know the moderates will not let them. Schism would be loss for all three camps. We did divide over slavery, but we managed through a lot of messy transition during civil rights and women\u2019s rights eras. I predict this will be much like women\u2019s ordination.\nI recognize that some may persist in pushing for separation. And that grieves me. But the largest share of conservatives (who might have left if today\u2019s scenario had played out in the 1990s) will now envision a different future that allows them to back away from the cliff. I hope we see more evangelicals like Asbury professor Steve Harper step up to avert disaster. Think how well it could go for the evangelical renewal cause if, instead of separating from the UMC, you separated from what most people consider (rightly or wrongly) as an \u201canti-homosexual cause\u201d. Granted, Tom, I appreciate that you don\u2019t see it as \u201canti-homosexual orientation\u201d but rather as \u201canti-homosexual practice\u201d and also I respect your valid reasons why even though we disagree. But public perception of Christians as being anti-homosexual is hurting our Christian witness.\nPonder a different future where evangelical Asbury grads go forth in a future UMC unencumbered by this non-essential point of disagreement. How large might they grow the Body of Christ within that UMC future?\n1) The word of God does not change with the times, nor does God Himself. Marriage equality makes no difference because legally the same things could be accomplished through civil same-sex unions not called marriage. Marriage is defined by God as between one man and one woman, so homosexuals cannot possibly follow a traditional Christian ethic of faithfulness in marriage. And it is not the stance of our church that is out of touch; it is those who want to ignore or re-interpret the word of God who are out of touch with God, His word, and His will for the church, for His people.\n2) Evangelical is not what people call themselves or what someone else calls them, it is what people believe and do. Perhaps you could share some of those supposedly Biblically grounded views of SSM, because I say that is an oxymoron. The Bible is very clear about what it says about homosexuality, and it always says that it is a sin.\n3) If \u201cliberals\u201d don\u2019t want to run off orthodox and evangelical believers in TUMC, then why all the bullying, name-calliing, accusations of being hateful, etc? Whatever perception there is of Christians being anti-homosexual comes in great part from these bullying tactics by \u201cliberals\u201d in the name of Jesus and love. And of course from groups like Westboro Baptist who are no more Christian than my Honda CR-V is a Rolls Royce. What is hurting the witness of TUMC, and what is causing us to lose members by the hundreds of thousands annually, is at least in great part the constant bullying and bickering in the name of \u201choly conferencing\u201d and \u201cdialogue\u201d.\nThis is no non-essential point. It goes to the authority of the word of God and the authority of the Author of the word of God. That is as essential as you get for a Christian.\nExcuse me but I don\u2019t think you can take just part of Scripture to support your belief system. The whole of scripture supports the positive marriage between one man and one woman. Paul says in 1 Corinthians 6:11, \u201cAnd this is what some of you USED to be,\u201d indicating that the transformation of Christ delivered those who practiced homosexuality.\u201d You should read Karen Booth\u2019s book, \u201cForgetting How to Blush: United Methodism\u2019s Compromise with the Sexual Revolution.\u201d She documents the move to accept not just homosexual practice but all sexual practice from around 1913 to today. It is well researched. Before you write those of us off who would keep the UMC stance the way it is, you should read the history of the movement. I stand with the present stance even though I have a gay son whom I love. God loves him too.\nYou would also do well to proofread your comments for grammar. They were sometimes hard to read.\nRev. Thomas L. Teate says:\nDave, If public perception of Christians is what is important then we are no longer followers of Christ! You might want to read Galatians 1:10 and 1 Thess. 2:4. We have too many pastors, elders and bishops trying to please people rather than simply preach the Truth of God\u2019s Word! I am a United Methodist Pastor for now battling for our church to repent of the sin of abortion, homosexuality and pornography. If the sinful darkness of this present age is not confronted, we will have already ceased to be a part of the Body of Christ. We will have become what Wesley feared\u2026a dead sect. Yet, confrontation makes us uncomfortable and many bishops, elders and pastors don\u2019t have the stomach for anything uncomfortable\u2026.maybe the United Methodist Church needs to simply stop trying to be a Christian Church because true Christianity confronts sin at every turn and makes us all very uncomfortable. If it is comfort you are looking for, then I recommend you seek another religion other than Christianity. The Bible makes me very uncomfortable with my own sin and leads me to stop, drop and pray. I pray to God confessing my sin, repenting of it and asking God to enable me to be the man He calls me to be in accordance with His holy Word. Until we repent as a church, we will continue to be a dead sect.\nThank you Dave for your wise words. I agree.\nNed Weller says:\nI don\u2019t believe that the character of God in scripture has changed. That in itself should frighten us.\nThis schism in the UMC is full blown and there is absolutely no way that Orthodox Methodists and Liberal Methodists can come to any sort of co-existence solution because the disagreement is so great that both would have to give up far too much for that to happen. This \u201cthird way\u201d idea being discussed by the Connectional Table is nothing but step one for the full implementation of the gay agenda across the church. Only liberals are represented at this table \u2014 it\u2019s rigged from the get go as they continue their passive-aggressive tactics in pursuit of their ultimate goal. It is time to shift all energy and effort to General Conference 2016. No more debate, it\u2019s becoming time to vote. Let\u2019s get focused on that and bring this thing to conclusion so that Methodists across the church can decide their futures one way or another.\nAnne Haldan says:\nDear brothers and sisters in Christ. I am a simple layperson and have no theological expertise to offer you. Just my own \u2013 ordinary \u2013 story. I grew up in a very normal family where my parents often made the least of each other. When I was 17 I remember telling a teacher that I was never going to marry. In my experience nothing good could come of it. As a Christian I have later been blessed to see and experience the life changing power of love. I feel in no position to discriminate between different kinds of truly loving relationships. In fact I am just grateful for any true love in this world.\nAnne, I just want to be clear. Are you saying homosexual relationships are among the \u201cdifferent kinds of truly loving relationships\u201d? Since homosexual relationships are the topic of this blog post, it seems like that is what you are saying, so I will go ahead and respond to that.\nTrue love is defined by the word of God, not by society or by human opinions and feelings.\nThe Bible tells us that God is love (1 Jn 4:8) and that God is holy, and we are to be holy too (1 Pet 1:16).\nGod says in His word very clearly that homosexual relationships are sinful (Rom 1:26-28; 1 Cor 6:9-11; 1 Tim 1:8-11). Sin is opposed to holiness and love. So homosexual relationships cannot be loving, according to the word of God.\nLikewise, marriages are not loving when husbands and wives commit adultery or otherwise sin against each other.\nThe difference is that marriage itself is not a sinful relationship, but a loving and holy one.\nAnne, it\u2019s not a matter of discrimination. It is a matter of discernment, of discerning between good and evil, which we are all called to do as Christians (1 Thess 5:19-21).\nWhat has happened to using God\u2019s Word to defend God\u2019s Word. That marriage and human sexuality is debated in the church is unbelievable to me. Repeatedly in scripture, God tells us that marriage between a man and a woman is sacred and that the practice of homosexuality is a sin. Check out the following scriptures: Genesis 19, Leviticus 18:22, 20:13, Romans 1:26-27, 1 Corinthians: 9-11, 18-20, 1 Timothy 1:9-11, Jude 1:4-7. For the church to pervert God\u2019s will and trample on His Word is serious business. We better get ready to defend our faith because persecution is promised.\nThe UM must not allow the CT to slip unnoticed into the conflict and further \u201cmuddy the waters\u201d. Their current recommendation gives the less than one quarter what they want General Conference to approve. I realize this amounts to a recommendation. If I were a gay person I would KNOW we have been heard.\nYou are correct Ned, God\u2019s call for purity does not change with human cultural shifts.",

        "title": "Tulisan Murtad: Muslim Leaders Sign Letter Against ISIS, But Endorse Sharia",
        "raw_content": "A published letter to the Islamic State (ISIS) signed by 126 international Muslim leaders and scholars, including top American leaders, is getting major press for rebutting the theological arguments behind the actions of Islamic State. Unfortunately, the same letter endorsed the goal of the Islamic State of rebuilding the caliphate and sharia governance, including its brutal hudud punishments.\nPoint 16 of the letter states, \u201cHudud punishments are fixed in the Qu\u2019ran and Hadith and are unquestionably obligatory in Islamic Law.\u201d The criticism of the Islamic State by the scholars is that the terrorist group is not \u201cfollowing the correct procedures that ensure justice and mercy.\u201d\nThe Muslim \u201cmoderates\u201d who signed the letter not only endorsed the combination of mosque and state; they endorsed the most brutal features of sharia governance as seen in Iran, Saudi Arabia and elsewhere.\nAn example of a hudud punishment is the death penalty for apostates (Muslims who leave Islam). The letter does not dispute or oppose that. It says that labeling Muslims as apostates is only permissible when an individual \u201copenly declares disbelief.\u201d\nThe signatories are not condemning the execution of apostates, only how the Islamic State is deciding who qualifies as an apostate.\nPoint 7 states that Islam forbids the killing of diplomats, journalists and aid workers, but it comes with a very important exception.\n\u201cJournalists\u2014if they are honest and of course are not spies\u2014are emissaries of truth, because their job is to expose the truth to people in general,\u201d it reads.\nThis is actually an endorsement of targeting journalists that Muslims feel are unfair. Islamists, including Islamic State supporters, often claim that the journalists they kill are propagandists and/or spies, meeting the letter\u2019s standards.\nPoint 22 of the letter states, \u201cThere is agreement (ittifaq) among scholars that a caliphate is an obligation upon the Ummah. The Ummah has lacked a caliphate since 1924 CE. However, a new caliphate requires consensus from Muslims and not just from those in a small corner of the world.\u201d\nA caliphate is a pan-Islamic government based on sharia; virtually all Islamic scholars agree that this objective requires the elimination of Israel. It is also fundamentally (and by definition) expansionist.\nAgain, the \u201cmoderate\u201d signatories endorse the principles of the Islamic State and other jihadists but criticize their implementation.\nPoint 5 states, \u201cWhat is meant by \u2018practical jurisprudence\u2019 is the process of applying Shari\u2019ah rulings and dealing with them according to the realities and circumstances that people are living under.\u201d\nIt continues, \u201cPractical jurisprudence [fiqh al-waq\u2019i] considers the texts that are applicable to peoples realities at a particular time, and the obligations that can be postponed until they are able to be met or delayed based on their capabilities.\u201d\nThis is an endorsement of the Islamist doctrine of \"gradualism.\" This is an incremental strategy for establishing sharia governance, supporting jihad and advancing the Islamist cause.\nThe Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), whose leader is a signatory of the letter, preaches this concept in its own publications. An ICNA teaching guide published by the Clarion Project preaches gradualism as its strategy for implementing sharia governance and resurrecting the caliphate.\nICNA\u2019s manual directs Muslims to use deception and infiltrate the government. The gradualist strategy is part of a jihad that includes war with the ultimate goal of conquering the world.\nA weakness in the letter is the vague terminology that gives room for terrorist groups like Hamas to justify their violence.\nFor example, point 8 states that \u201cJihad in Islam is defensive war. It is not permissible without the right cause, the right purpose and without the right rules of conduct.\u201d\nThe letter goes into detail about these qualifications in order to condemn the tactics of the Islamic State, but the terms of a \u201cdefensive war\u201d are not spelled out. All Islamist terrorists consider their attacks \u201cdefensive.\u201d\nMuslim-American activist Michael Ghouse pointed out the need for clarification in a conversation with me about the letter. He said:\n\u201cDefine the right cause. Is fighting against India in Kashmir a jihad? Was the war between Iraq and Iran two decades ago a jihad? This group needs to continue to update these situations to let the common Muslim know what is right and what is wrong, lest he commits himself to the jihad.\u201d\nIslamists regularly redefine words like \u201cclear disbelief,\u201d \u201cdemocracy,\u201d \u201cjustice,\u201d \u201cpeace\u201d and \u201cterrorism\u201d on their own terms. The use of subjective language like \u201cinnocents,\u201d \u201cmistreat,\u201d \u201cdefensive\u201d and \u201crights\u201d leave much room for interpretation.\nThis is what enabled a terrorism-supporting cleric named Sheikh Abdullah Bin Bayyah to sign the letter. He is linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, has called for attacks on U.S. soldiers in Iraq, supports Hamas and seeks the destruction of Israel.\nThe Islamist leaders behind the anti-Islamic State letter are still endorsing Islamic sharia law, which is oppressive and incompatible with Western values. The implementation of sharia is what drives all Islamic extremism.\nThe letter also utilizes Islamist thinkers that formed the intellectual foundation for today\u2019s extremism. For example, it cites Ibn Taymiyyah. Terrorism expert Atto Barkindo writes, \u201cSome scholars suggest there is probably no other Islamic theologian, medieval or otherwise, who has had as much influence on radical political ideology of Islam as Ibn Taymiyya.\u201d This includes the leaders of Al Qaeda.\nGhouse told the Clarion Project that shari,a as encoded by such scholars, needs revising. \u201cClassical texts that are referred to in the list are part of the problems,\u201d Ghouse said. \u201cWe need to make a commitment to question and revise the exegeses of the Ulemas [scholars] like Ibn-Kathir, Ibn Taymiyyah, Maududi, Hassna al-Banna and others. We cannot equate them to Quran and Hadith.\u201d\nThe letter does make a much-needed rebuttal to the murdering of diplomats, noncombatants, labeling of Yazidis as apostates, attacks on Christians, forced conversions and torture. It states that Arab Christians are exceptions to the \u201crulings of jihad\u201d because of \u201cancient agreements that are around 1400 years old.\u201d\nThe letter also does tries to persuade Muslims to reject the Islamic State because of its tactics and procedures; however, it reinforces the Islamist basis of those actions.\nFar from proving that the Muslim-American signatories are \u201cmoderate,\u201d the letter actually exposes them as Islamist extremists because of their endorsements of sharia governance, its brutal hudud punishments and the resurrection of the caliphate.\nThese 18 leaders include:\nNaeem Baig, President of the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA)\nAzhar Azeez, President of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA)\nNihad Awad, National Executive Director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR)\nHatem Bazian, chairman of American Muslims for Palestine\nOussama Jammal, Secretary-General of the U.S. Council of Muslim Organizations\nSheikh Mohamed Magid, Executive Director of the All Dulles Area Muslim Society Center and former President of ISNA\nYasir Qadhi, Dean of Academic Affairs at Al-Maghrib Institute and Professor of Islamic Studies at Rhodes College\nZulfiqar Ali Shah, Executive Director of the Fiqh Council of North America and director of religious affairs at the Islamic Center of Milwaukee\nJamal Badawi, Executive Councilman of the Fiqh Council of North America and a founder of the Muslim American Society (MAS)\nOmar Shahin, Secretary-General of the North American Imams Federation Imam Talib Shareef, President of Masjid Muhammad (The Nation\u2019s Mosque) in Washington, D.C. and National Chaplain of the Muslim American Veterans Association\nIhsan Bagby, General Secretary of the Muslim Alliance in North America, councilman of the Fiqh Council of North America and Associate Professor of Islamic Studies at the University of Kentucky.\nMohamad Adam El-Sheikh, Executive Councilman of the Fiqh Council of North America and former imam of Dar al-Hijrah Islamic Center and founder of the Muslim American Society.\nYusuf Kavakci, councilman of the Fiqh Council of North America and scholar-in-residence of the Islamic Association of North Texas\nMuzammil Siddiqi, a founder of ISNA and Fiqh Council of North America Executive Council Chairman\nAhmad Shqeirat, member of the North American Imams Federation and Imam of the Islamic Community Center of Tempe (Arizona)\nProfessor Joseph E.B.

        "raw_content": "ATLANTA, GA \u2013 June 28, 2016- Tulix Systems, a leading provider of end-to-end over-the-top (OTT) streaming solutions and CDN services, today announced that it has begun offering application development for Apple TV. The new Apple TV deployments are fully integrated with Tulix\u2019s entire OTT solution, meaning content providers can stream and monetize their live, linear, and VOD content through their own branded applications. The announcement was made following the successful launch of Tulix\u2019s first Apple TV application for Guda.TV, a subscription streaming television service that is powered entirely by Tulix\u2019s truly end-to-end OTT system.\nTulix develops streaming applications for all major OTT platforms, including Android, Android TV, Roku, Amazon Fire TV and iOS. Apple TV launched in 2007, but the platform has only recently opened up for content providers to submit their own applications. With millions of users, Apple TV had long been a targeted device by Tulix, and the company worked quickly to integrate its full solution once the platform opened up to developers.\n\u201cOur responsibility is to help our customers reach as many viewers as possible in the most cost-effective manner,\u201d said Nino Doijashvili, Tulix EVP. \u201cOur OTT solution is one of the few options on the market that really focuses on the business logic and robust back-end that allow content providers to successfully monetize.

        "raw_content": "Getting Lost In Rock \u2018n\u2019 Roll Symbols\nThese are the people who believe Courtney Love murdered Kurt Cobain. They hear alien messages in Jimi Hendrix\u2019s Are You Experienced. They think that Paul McCartney is dead.\nLet\u2019s stereotype for a second. Those who hunt for conspiracies in music usually have greasy hair. They wear cargo pants with too many pockets. They like to rant in an obnoxious near-shout. They make you feel guilty for listening to pop music and for not understanding references to drugs recorded backwards on vinyl.\nThere are websites and books devoted to their crackpot theories. The Vigilant Citizen site, for example, attempts to interpret the occult symbols of pop music and videos. In the Citizen\u2019s most infamous article, \u201cLady Gaga, the Illuminati Puppet,\u201d the site asserted that the pop icon used references to Fritz Lang\u2019s 1927 film \u201cMetropolis\u201d and the all-seeing eye (among others) to support mind control.\nAccording to the Citizen, Gaga is \u201ca puppet who embodies exactly what the public represents in the eyes of the elite: mindless drones, mannequins, remote- controlled robots, hypnotized degenerates incapable of thinking coherently.\u201d\nI can only imagine what the dude who wrote that article is like. He\u2019s probably a blast at dinner parties.\n\u201cOh hey, have you seen the \u2018Born This Way\u2019 video? Weird, right?\u201d\n\u201cAh yes. The references to Baphomet were entirely too obvious, but the video serves as a prime example of the Illuminati agenda.\u201d\nLet me italicize for emphasis: really fucking weird.\nBut alas, I am now no better. In my fanatical post-King of Limbs bliss I discovered the most remarkable theory about Radiohead, and I fell for it like every Thom Yorke freak on the planet.\nAllow me to explain. Radiohead\u2019s 2007 hit In Rainbows was released on Oct. 10 (10/10), exactly 10 years after their 1997 magnum opus, OK Computer. Both album titles have exactly 10 letters and each album has 10 tracks. After the announcement of In Rainbows, the band posted 10 cryptic messages on their web site \u2014 all of which emphasized the letter \u201cx\u201d (they used phrases like \u201cMarch Wa X\u201d and \u201cXendless Xurbia\u201d), the Roman numeral for 10 \u2014 and released the album 10 days later. Even the album cover for In Rainbows swapped the \u201ci\u2019s\u201d and \u201co\u2019s\u201d in the band\u2019s name for ones and zeroes. In fact, the working title for OK Computer was actually Zeroes and Ones \u2014 the mirror image of 10.\nThis all adds up, obviously, to one clear theory: Radiohead crafted a binary code of ones and zeroes across the albums, thereby allowing you to combine the two into one decade-spanning mega album. To create the trippy playlist, just start with the first track from OK Computer, \u201cAirbag,\u201d and follow with In Rainbows\u2019 track one, \u201c15 Step.\u201d Then, just alternate the albums track by track, using OK Computer\u2019s \u201cFitter Happier\u201d as the filler between the two halves.\nFinally, add a 10-second crossfade between tracks on your iTunes preferences and begin to trip balls.\nAfter enough bong rips, the songs actually sound like they were meant to be played this way. The four drum beats at the end of \u201cAirbag\u201d set the new tempo for \u201c15 Step\u201d; the reverb from \u201cSubterranean Homesick Alien\u201d lingers into \u201cNude.\u201d Lyrical themes even emerge from one song to the next (though ideas of paranoia and anxiety are prevalent among all of their work, and may also be amplified by your substance of choice).\nTheories aren\u2019t new to the band, either; Chuck Klosterman famously wrote of Kid A\u2019s peculiar prediction of 9/11 in his book \u201cKilling Yourself to Live,\u201d and the band even hid a booklet underneath the case of that album, which included lyrics that would appear on future releases Amnesiac and Hail to the Thief.\nIt\u2019s likely that Thom Yorke and co. are just fuck- ing with their fans\u2019 propensity for overanalysis. Either way, my listening habits have been destroyed. Goodbye sweet normalcy, hello listening to every record I own backwards (just in case). But hey, at least I have a small sense of pride in knowing that I will always opt for skinny jeans over cargo pants.\nBurn the Hood\nBonnie Dune: Not Just For \u2018Gleeks\u2019",

We have employed a multivariate Granger-causality framework that incorporates financial development, investment and trade openness as intermittent variables \u2013 in an effort to address the omission-of-variable bias. Based on the newly developed ARDL bounds testing approach to co-integration and the Error-Correction Model-based causality model, our results show that in Ethiopia, there is a distinct unidirectional Granger-causality from economic growth to energy consumption. These results apply, irrespective of whether the estimation is done in the short run or in the long run. We recommend that policy makers in Ethiopia should consider expanding their energy-mix options, in order to cope with the future demand arising from an increase in the real sector growth.\nName: Working Paper ...\nUnisa Economic Research Working Paper Series [79]",

Some of these benefits include small resident population, privacy, location, as well as 24/7 access to high-quality amenities.

We know that there is a stigma attached to entering rehab facilities, and we are here to protect your identity. We\u2019re not here to shame you, we\u2019re here to help - but if helping means keeping your identity, private, we can accommodate.

There\u2019s a harsh and ever-looming stigma behind the disease of addiction - shame, embarrassment, and above all, fear of failure takes over the desire to benefit oneself, but it\u2019s still a medical disease. All these things can especially be true when one is trying to go through a rehab center, but recovery doesn\u2019t have to be as difficult. United Drug Rehab Group can not only alleviate your nerves, but help build you a stable life and a bright future.",

        "title": "Screenings: Unseen Cinema",
        "raw_content": "version of this review\nScreenings: Unseen Cinema\nReview by Brian Frye\nIf a student\u0092s seen any American avant-garde film, odds are it\u0092s Maya Deren and Alexander Hammid\u0092s Meshes of the Afternoon. That\u0092s because conventional wisdom says the contemporary American avant-garde starts with Deren. Bruce Posner, the iconoclastic curator of \"Unseen Cinema: Early American Avant-Garde Film 1894-1941,\" disagrees. According to Posner, the American avant-garde begins with Edison\u0096the original innovator\u0096and continues straight on through to today. To back up his argument, he assembled a touring collection of films acquired from the British Film Institute, George Eastman House, Deutsches Filmmuseum, the Library of Congress, the Museum of Modern Art, Anthology Film Archives, and an assortment of regional film archives.\nWhen Posner premiered his retrospective in 2001, it stirred up quite a tempest in the hermetic world of the avant-garde. But whether or not enthusiasts bought his thesis, they went to the programs. Now, Posner and producer David Shepard have transformed the project into a seven-dvd box set that is the must-have release of the year for any serious collector. The Unseen Cinema dvds present a decidedly eclectic collection of short films, sorted into seven broad themes: The Mechanized Eye, The Devil\u0092s Plaything, Light Rhythms, Inverted Narratives, Picturing a Metropolis, The Amateur as Auteur, and Viva la Dance. Each disc purports to define a sub-genre and trace its development.\nAnd yet, Posner\u0092s historical argument is, frankly, unconvincing\u0096largely because it\u0092s essentially semantic. Basically, he redefines \"avant-garde\" as \"innovative\"\u0096and then proclaims every technically or aesthetically innovative prewar film he can find part of the American avant-garde. That\u0092s fine, as far as it goes. But it\u0092s also uncontroversial. No one actually believes innovation and experimentation started with Deren. \"American avant-garde film\" describes a genre, not a set of formal qualities. So the interesting question is whether the postwar avant-garde borrowed from the prewar experimenters or broke with them. The answer looks to be a touch of the former, but mostly the latter.\nIn any case, it\u0092s hard to credit a theory that places Thomas Edison, D.W. Griffith, Jay Leyda, Orson Welles, Man Ray, Busby Berkeley, and Joseph Cornell in the same aesthetic tradition. Even a casual viewer will find Posner\u0092s argument implausible. Still, he does have a point. Surely, the postwar avant-garde was at least aware of its past. A few filmmakers\u0096notably Cornell and Rudy Burckhardt\u0096even weathered the transition. But Posner\u0092s illustrations obscure and even frustrate his argument. Every film he chooses is interesting, and many are truly great. But it\u0092s obvious that the prewar avant-garde he documents identified with Hollywood, and the postwar avant-garde identified with the art world. And that\u0092s a fundamental difference.\nBut really, who cares? You don\u0092t have to buy Posner\u0092s theory of the avant-garde to love the movies he\u0092s collected. And Unseen Cinema is packed with 155 fantastically obscure, astonishingly beautiful, and historically significant films that are difficult or impossible to see anywhere else. That\u0092s reason enough to recommend the collection right there.\nA few obscure films by famous directors jump out, like Orson Welles\u0092s The Hearts of Age (34) and Robert Florey\u0092s The Love of Zero (28). But Unseen Cinema makes its most significant contribution by collecting the films of little-known outsiders like James Sibley Watson, Melville Webber, Slavko Vorkapich, Ralph Steiner, Mary Ellen Bute, and so on. It adds some of the most unusual of the first Edison and Porter experiments, then continues with charming early home movies. It then caps things off with truly brilliant films by Cornell, Burckhardt, Lewis Jacobs, Steiner, Douglas Crockwell, and others.\nThe Cornell films are especially welcome. Best known for his intricate sculptural boxes, Cornell is among Posner\u0092s best examples of a prewar filmmaker who had an immense influence on the postwar avant-garde. Posner\u0092s done an immense service by making films like Cornell\u0092s Children\u0092s Party (38), Cotillion (38), and The Midnight Party (38) readily available. Not to mention little-known rarities like Thimble Theater (38) and other Cornell shorts, only recently discovered by researchers at Anthology Film Archives.\nIn truth, it is an avant-gardist\u0092s wish list. The image is top quality, transferred from exceptionally good prints. While some of the films are still marred by scratches, missing frames, and so on, existing prints are generally much worse, if available at all. The budget-minded can purchase Picturing a Metropolis, focusing on New York City, the only disc available on its own. It\u0092s a treasure, featuring ebullient primitive films from the Gilded Age and Progressive Era gems by Paul Strand, Robert Flaherty, and Leyda. But the entire collection is well worth the price.",

        "raw_content": "Search Results for: where-love-and-friendship-dwelt-by-belloc-lowndes\nAuthor: Elyssa Warkentin\nOut of the London fog, a mysterious stranger arrives on the Buntings\u2019 doorstep seeking lodgings and a kindly ear \u2013 but a horrifying secret lurks behind his gentlemanly fa\u00e7ade. Can Mrs Bunting uncover the true nature of his strange obsessions and avert looming disaster for her family? Marie Belloc Lowndes\u2019s psychological thriller The Lodger (1913) was the first novelization of the infamous and still-unsolved \u201cJack the Ripper\u201d murders of 1888. The novel transformed a sordid story of the London streets into a taut domestic tale of conflicted motivations, uncertain loyalty, and slow-burning terror. Lowndes, a contemporary \u2013 and rival \u2013 of Agatha Christie, adopted and subverted the detective fiction genre in order to explore women\u2019s roles within the family and within larger society in ways that still resonate strongly today. This scholarly edition revives a pivotal text by an undervalued late-Victorian and early twentieth-century author, and adds to our understanding of that transformational literary period. This edition brings together, for the first time, Lowndes\u2019 1913 novel and the 1911 short story upon which it was based, providing new transcriptions of the texts alongside facsimiles of Henry Raleigh\u2019s original illustrations. A critical introduction offers historical, thematic, and biographical context drawn from new archival research, as well as an exhaustive bibliography of Lowndes\u2019s published work.\nA Life of Hilaire Belloc\nWith access to previously unpublished material in the form of Hilaire Belloc's letters and photographs, Pearce's major new biography uncovers a romantic, complex, and solitary character. Illustrations.\nFord Madox Ford\u2019s Literary Contacts\nThe controversial British writer Ford Madox Ford (1873-1939) is increasingly recognized as a major presence in early twentieth-century literature. This series of International Ford Madox Ford Studies was founded to reflect the recent resurgence of interest in him. Each volume is based upon a particular theme or issue; and relates aspects of Ford s work, life, and contacts, to broader concerns of his time. The present book is part of a large-scale reassessment of his roles in literary history. Ford is best-known for his fiction, especially \"The Good Soldier,\" long considered a modernist masterpiece; and \"Parade s End,\" which Anthony Burgess described as the finest novel about the First World War; and Samuel Hynes has called the greatest war novel ever written by an Englishman . But he was a prolific writer in many different modes, which include criticism of others writing, and reminiscences of the many writers he had known. One of the most striking features of his career is his close involvement with so many of the major international literary groupings of his time. In the South-East of England at the \"fin-de-siecle,\" he collaborated for a decade with Joseph Conrad, and befriended Henry James, and H. G. Wells. In Edwardian London he founded the \"English Review,\" publishing these writers alongside his new discoveries, Ezra Pound, D. H. Lawrence, and Wyndham Lewis. After the war he moved to France, founding the \"transatlantic review\" in Paris, taking on Hemingway as a sub-editor, discovering another generation of Modernists such as Jean Rhys and Basil Bunting, and publishing them alongside Joyce and Gertrude Stein. He spent more time in America from the later 1920s, spending time with Southern Agrarians, and poets such as William Carlos Williams, Charles Olson, and Robert Lowell. He was always a tireless promoter of younger writers, reading manuscripts and recommending them to publishers. This book takes Ford s literary contacts to include such creative friendships, editorial involvements, and influential biographical encounters; and they form the most substantial, central section on Contemporaries and Confreres, covering figures like Proust, Carlos Williams, Rebecca West, Herbert Read, and Hemingway. But it also explores contacts with literary texts. The first section on Predecessors considers the impact of Ford s reading of Trollope, George Eliot, and Turgenev. The final section discusses Successors: writers such as Graham Greene, Burgess, and A. S. Byatt, whose literary contacts with Ford have been as his admiring readers and eloquent critics. Ford has been described as a writer s writer . This volume reveals how true that has been, and in how many ways, as it sheds new light on his relationships with other writers, both familiar and surprising. It includes two pieces published here for the first time: one by Ford himself, on Turgenev; the other a memoir about Ford by his contemporary, Marie Belloc Lowndes (the sister of Hilaire Belloc).\"\nEncyclopedia of British Writers, 1800 to the Present\nAuthor: George Stade,Karen Karbiener\nProfiles the finest British poets, novelists, playwrights, essayists, and other writers of the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries, including essential details about the author's life and work and suggestions for further reading.

His variety is very extensive. Examples of his collection of photographs can be found on his other website www.photoartcards.net.\nTom's photographic relationship with The Battle Creek Hot Air Balloon Championships led to the design and production of three quality official balloon championship posters from 1987 thru 1989. From posters, postcards, balloon pins, and refrigerator magnets his selection of products was very well received and most are available here on line. Expanding into the Internet allows anyone to obtain these unique representations of a very popular sport.\nIn the 1980s Tom participated in many West Michigan art fairs and won a number of awards for his unique photography. His artistic talents were also displayed by the way his photography was matted, framed, and presented to the public.\nHis latest venture involves an alternative to expensive matting and framing with glass. The Plak-it system is a unique and attractive method of mounting, protecting and displaying photos, posters, certificates, prints or any type of art. Examples of this system as well as his unique collection of custom ordered greeting cards can be found on his other website www.photoartcards.net. As a distributor for the Plak-it company anyone can contact Tom to have their artwork processed by the company. E-mail him with questions thru viualartistry@att.net.\nExpanding into the wedding business has allowed him to use his professional training from a well respected local wedding photographer. Tom uses his experience, personality, and artistic \u201ceye\u201d to deliver affordable wedding photography to the local West Michigan area: garden weddings at beautiful Southern Exposure just outside Battle Creek is one of his favorites. Tom's current wedding schedule is accessible here and a small variety of his work can be seen on his wedding page. Thank you for your inquiry of Visual Artistry.",

From losing weight to finally getting that promotion, there are a lot of common New Year\u2019s Resolutions that people seem to make every year but just cannot stick with past the spring. These are the people who need to try a new method for meeting their goals.\nThere are a lot of great new technologies out there that can make reaching goals easier than ever before. Anyone can achieve their goals faster and with less hassle than they would have been able to even a year ago with these technologies. Anyone can try these gadgets and tools out to see if they can achieve a new goal this year. Here are some technologies to help anyone keep their New Year\u2019s Resolutions.\nTry a New App\nThere are a lot of great apps that can help people reach any resolution that they have their heart set on. From calorie counter apps to help people reach weight loss goals to organization apps to help someone do better in school, there is an app for any resolution that a person might want to achieve.\nGo with a Website\nFor the people who prefer to do it on their computers or any non-mobile form, a good-old website can be just as effective as the apps are for helping people reach their goals. Anyone can use a website to track their behaviors and make sure that they are on task to reach their goal by the end of the year.\nUse Some Wearable Tech\nWearable technology is the newest way that people are keeping their goals on their minds throughout the day. Wearable technology can track a person\u2019s health, give them specific reminders and warnings and help keep them accountable every minute of the day and night. This is a great investment that everyone can find a use for.\nFor a free version of motivation, anyone can utilize social media to help them reach their goals. Using things like social media groups can help people stay motivated, focused and encouraged to reach their goals. These pages can also help connect people with others who are working for the same goals. This can help people get new ideas and methods that will help them reach their resolution goals faster and more easily.\nMake a New App\nWhen all else fails, anyone can take the leap and make a mobile app of their own to help them reach their resolution goals. Anyone can use mobile design agency Blue Rocket to create an app that will serve to help meet the needs they have. Additionally, they can market the app and potentially make money off of it, which is a win-win for everyone involved. All of these ideas can be used by anyone to make their New Year more productive.",

        "raw_content": "By Morrie Amitay, JINSA Vice Chairman\nThere has already been a great deal of concern expressed over President Obama's foreign and security policies in general, including the administration's future relationship with Israel. Given JINSA's unique agenda to strengthen U.S.-Israel strategic ties while supporting a credible U.S. defense posture, there will be a number of pressing issues that will merit close attention in the coming months. Congress will necessarily continue to play an important role in both defense and foreign policy. It is easier to predict the behavior of the new 113th Congress with regard to JINSA's concerns than what the president is likely to do. Like its predecessor, Congress can be expected to support measures and take initiatives designed to promote closer U.S.-Israel defense cooperation, while seeking to avoid the more serious consequences of sequestration.\nAs it has done in the past, Congress will likely approve funding for joint American and Israeli programs above administration requests. While there will be a large number of changes in the legislators serving on the relevant committees, initiatives to enhance Israel's security should continue to have firm support predicated on the belief that they also serve American national interests. However, as defense spending as a whole will undoubtedly have to absorb cuts, it is unreasonable to believe that Israel will not be somewhat negatively affected.\nIn the House Armed Services Committee, Chairman Buck McKeon (R-CA) will continue in his lead role, as will Ranking Member Adam Smith (D-WA). In the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, the Democratic side will bear some watching with the retirement of Ranking Member Norm Dicks* of Washington and the primary election defeat of Rep. Steve Rothman of New Jersey. But the majority GOP side should remain strongly supportive.\nWith regard to broader Middle East policies, the current term-limited Chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen of Florida, has been unrivaled in her activist role in promoting pro-Israel policies and initiatives. Either Representatives Ed Royce of California or Chris Smith of New Jersey will replace her. They are both veteran backers of policies supportive of Israel's security. With the defeat of California's Howard Berman and the retirement of Gary Ackerman of New York, the new minority Democratic lineup will most probably be headed by one of two other supportive members, Brad Sherman of California or Eliot Engel of New York.\nOn the Senate side, with Carl Levin (D-MI) chairing the Armed Services Committee and GOP Senator James Inhofe of Oklahoma replacing Arizona's term-limited John McCain*, there should be no change in the Committee's pro-Israel orientation.\nThe Appropriations Committee, chaired by the iconic Sen. Daniel Inouye* (D-HI), should continue its vital support. And with the reelection of Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey and the expected return to action of Republican Sen. Mark Kirk of Illinois, new sanctions on Iran, and just as importantly stringent administration implementation of current measures, should remain on the front burner. Both of these legislators have been instrumental in promoting Iran sanctions legislation in the Senate by working through the Banking Committee, which is predisposed to be much tougher on Iran than the Foreign Relations Committee chaired by Sen. John Kerry (D-MA), and former Ranking Member Sen. Dick Lugar.\nWith Lugar's primary election defeat ending his six terms in the Senate, and with Kerry possibly taking a cabinet position, there could be important changes in the Committee. On the Republican side, Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee, just re-elected for his second term, is slated to take over the top minority slot. He has an undistinguished, yet positive, record on issues championed by JINSA during his first term, and has to be considered an improvement over Lugar, who invariably adhered to State Department policies. Should Kerry depart, Sen. Barbara Boxer is next in line in seniority. But it is believed that the Senator from California would probably want to retain her chairmanship of the Environment and Public Works Committee. This could make Sen. Menendez chairman, a possibility that is definitely worth watching. What we do know already is that retiring Senators Joe Lieberman* and John Kyl* will be sorely missed.\nWith regard to the direction of the White House over the next four years, conventional wisdom holds that attention will first have to be paid to America's worsening economic situation and the impending \"fiscal cliff\" before the pursuit of dramatic foreign policy initiatives. But since the rest of the world won't go away, important decisions will have to be made. How prominent the Middle East will be as President Obama seeks to create his legacy is an open question. Right now, it is not known how much time and energy the president will have or want to devote to foreign policy problems as part of his legacy.\nThe number one national security problem looming is the prospect of a nuclear-armed Iran. With President Obama's reluctance to use force and engage our troops in yet another conflict, support for any military action by Israel will surely be lacking. Instead, we can expect a high-priority effort by the White House to work out some kind of accommodation with Tehran. But with the Iranian regime's record of interminable negotiations and cheating, such an approach poses great uncertainties for genuine success. Given Iran's unremitting active hostility to U.S. interests, its widespread support of terrorism, and, of course, its enmity to \"the Zionist entity,\" any deal that could be negotiated must be seen as a leap of faith.\nClose by geographically, the White House also has Syria, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt to worry about right now. Does this necessarily mean abandonment of plans to pressure Israel into an agreement with the Palestinians? In the short run, most probably yes. Given all the other serious issues President Obama must deal with, and with scant indication that the rifts with the Palestinians can be ended (along with continuing incitement and violence against Israel), one can hope that promoting a sham peace agreement a la Oslo - is not in the White House's legacy playbook.\nFurther afield, we can anticipate seeing some of the \"flexibility\" toward Russia that the president promised with regard to arms control and nuclear non-proliferation. Despite the White House's pivot to the Pacific we should expect a very cautious policy toward China given Beijing's holding of an increasing share of American debt. But the larger question here is how realistic is it to be able to pivot away from the pressing problems in the Middle East?\nIn the foreign policy arena where a president, not facing re-election, can act more independently from the electorate and from Congress, there is always the fear that he can abandon the pursuit of domestic accomplishment to go for a home run in the foreign policy field. Our Israeli friends must hope that they are not part of this calculus.\nCautious pessimism is perhaps the wisest stance to take in predicting what the next four years will actually mean for America, our allies, and the rest of the world. We certainly do live \"in interesting times\"!\n* recipient of JINSA's Henry M. Jackson Distinguished Service Award",

I work with data collected at the CMS experiment, which is one of the two large general-purpose detectors at the LHC, the other being ATLAS. CMS has now collected 20 inverse fento-barns or data at 8 TeV; that combined with earlier data taken at & TeV has allowed us to observe a new state at 126 GeV, which we have now conclusively shown to be the Standard Model Higgs.The LHC is now shutdown for two years for an upgrade so that it can run at 14 TeV, with operations restarting at the end of 2014. In this new energy regime we will be searching for evidence of physical processes beyond the standard model.\nIn addition to studying the physics of high energy collisions, I have an interest in the problem of particle detection and the application of new emergent technologies to experimental high energy physics.

        "raw_content": "Kelly, a swimming champ and Olympic hopeful, resisted Chiari surgery until the pain became unbearable. This is her story.\nI am one of three girls in my family \u2014 all competitive swimmers. My parents wanted us to learn to swim after my uncle drowned. So I started swimming at the age of 6, and when I was 10, I won the New Jersey State Swim Meet. It was a close race between me and two other girls and the first time I won something that big. That was the time I decided to become a competitive swimmer.\nMy proudest moment as an athlete was making it to NCAA this year which is the highest achievement in college. While I didn't do that well time wise, it wasn't that important. It was just the experience of being in this incredible competition that mattered. Our 800 free relay was 10th in the nation and so I can say proudly claim to be \"all American\". There's nothing better than ending my swimming career at the top. I am newly retired at the ripe old age of 21. I'm so used to my daily swimming routines that it's an adjustment to having this whole new level of freedom. While I still work out with my teammates, I can now do swimming just for fun.\nA Big Disappointment to Get Over\nI missed the Olympic Trials in 2008 by 7/10th of a second! I wanted to go to the trials even though I knew I would not make the Olympics. That was hard for me because it was my one chance to make it since I would not be trying out in 2012. I was upset about it and realized it was affecting my swimming. It was a big disappointment to get over. There was also a lot of pressure from my hometown which made it much harder \u2013 I felt like I let them down. I gained weight because I was not happy with my performance and was losing motivation. I hated the feeling of not pulling through when my team needed me.\nI realized I needed to change my attitude so my team could rely on me. It was a wake up call. It made me understand how others can impact how you perform. Having outside support from my teammates showed me that the sport needed to be team focused rather than \"me\" focused. I will miss is training with my team. They have helped me get through some hard sets and hard times.\nSwimming has taught me a lot about discipline, time management and who I am. My schedule has been incredibly strict for 15 years. As a result, you meet your closest friends through the sport. It taught me the benefits of hard work and how you can influence people when they are having a hard time and make a difference.\nGetting Diagnosed With Chiari\nWhen I first was diagnosed with Chiari, I felt I could fight it and would not need surgery. I was so competitive about swimming that I did not want it to stop me from achieving my goals. Despite being closely monitored, I kept the pain to myself, even from my parents. I was pretty stubborn. And then freshman year of highschool, after I won the YMCA National 200 Backstroke and could no longer live with the pain, I decided to go ahead with surgery.\nChoosing a Neurosurgeon\nI interviewed several doctors, among them Dr. Souweidane. We had an immediate connection and I immediately trusted him. He was really friendly and easy to talk and it was clear that he really cared about his patients. I was pretty nervous before the surgery, but confident that it was going to work. When other doctors said I would never swim again, he reassured me that I would not only be OK, but back in the pool. And he was right! I also had an awesome nurse who helped me a lot.\nAfter only three days in the hospital I was back home and then kicking in the pool two weeks later. My hair grew back fast so I couldn't see the scar very well. It was kind of cool \u2014 kind of Frankenstein with staples. Dr. Souweidane said swimming was actually great PT for my neck rotation and it helped me recover much faster. His confidence in me also made me feel a lot better.\nMy Doctor, My Coach\nSomething really amazing happened. When I swam my first post surgery competitive mete, Dr. Souweidane actually came to cheer me on. I don't think any other doctor would have done that. Knowing how incredibly busy he is meant all the more to me to have him there to encourage me to swim at my best. I did really well and won my heat and turned in a great time. Dr. Souweidane not only made it possible for me to return to the sport I love, but to take my performance to a whole new level.\nWhat Chiari Has Taught Me\nThe experience of going through the surgery helped me to be the swimmer and the person I am today. It made me more mature and empathic towards people with problems and disabilities. I know this sounds strange, but it's pretty cool that I had brain surgery. A lot of people are very surprised when they find out given my ability to compete at such a high level.\nFrom Swimmer to Coach\nI have been contacted by teen swimmers with Chiari as well as their parents. It's really helped and encouraged them to know I am a Division 1 athlete and that someone close to their age was able to overcome it and continue excelling at a sport they have a passion for. In addition to coaching other Chiari patients, my experience has inspired me to become an athletic coach so that I can help other athletes work through their own challenges to attain their personal best.\nMy Advice to Other Kids with Chiari\nThe message I give other Chiari patients is: Don't be intimidated by brain surgery. I was only in the hospital for three days. It was not as bad as I anticipated. Keep your faith that things will work out and believe in yourself. And I tell people that it's pretty cool to be able to say \"I had brain surgery\" and that it did not hold me back from anything I wanted to do. I also think keeping in shape helped my recovery. Chiari motivated me to work harder because I wanted to prove to myself that nothing would hold me back.\nRead more Chiari Patient Stories | Chiari CARE at Weill Cornell\nPhotos by hokiesports.com\n\u2039 A Patient's Story: Connor Ventura Parents' Perspective: Kelly's Comeback \u203a",

The air inside your home contains moisture from your day to day activities. Showers, cooking and even breathing will add moisture inside your home. When the inside temperature cools down, the air cannot hold as much water vapour. The result is that the water vapour condenses as a liquid and becomes visible particularly on cold surfaces such as windows. By adding double glazing you reduce the likelihood of condensation forming on the glass, but the moisture is still present in your home. You can reduce this moisture from your home by having a well ventilated house.",

        "raw_content": "Dippy, the Natural History Museum London\u2019s famous diplodocus, stands resplendent at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow. The eagerly awaited Dippy on Tour: A Natural History Adventure opened on Tuesday 22 January. On Saturday and Sunday Dippy greeted more than 24,000 people entering the Centre Hall, the largest number of visitors to Kelvingrove Museum in a single weekend in more than a decade.\nThe splendid 292 bone structure, now replete as an impressive 21.3 meter long diplodocus cast, is on show until 6 May 2019. Admission is free and you do not require a ticket to visit, although people are being asked to leave a little extra time to see Dippy, especially at weekends and during school holidays.\nDippy\u2019s visit to Glasgow is the only Scottish stop on an eight city UK wide tour. Dippy on Tour: A Natural History Adventure is being brought to Kelvingrove Museum and visitors across the UK by the Natural History Museum, London in partnership with the Garfield Weston Foundation, and supported by Dell EMC and Williams & Hill.\nChair of Glasgow Life, Councillor David McDonald, said: \u2018Dippy, the Natural History Museum\u2019s iconic dinosaur, now stands resplendent in Kelvingrove Museum. Over the weekend Dippy greeted an incredible 24,000 plus visitors as they entered the main hall. That\u2019s our busiest Saturday and Sunday for over a decade. From the feedback we\u2019ve received so far he has certainly impressed his Scottish audience.\n\u2018At Glasgow Museums we are always striving to put on world class exhibitions, alongside our standing collection, and its clear Dippy has captured the public\u2019s imagination. Dippy is free to visit, but with so many fans keen to see him we would ask visitors to consider using public transport to get to Kelvingrove Museum and to allow a little extra time for their trip.\u2019\nDippy on a mission to inspire five million natural history adventures and encourage families to explore nature on their doorstep. Glasgow Museums will use Dippy\u2019s visit, together with a supporting public and schools programme, to showcase the city\u2019s natural history collection and stunning local natural habitats.",

        "raw_content": "The S-Scale Zilwaukee\n- - Mainline Track - -\nMain Line Track on the New ZOT in S-Scale\nPhoto 1 - The doorway swing bridge\nEntry to the train room is by way of a pair of pocket doors. The track plan runs around the walls. I prefer to have no duck-unders. So, this section of the layout is mounted with a hefty door hinge. It is about five feet long and I could find no hinges that were strong enough to support the weight. The chain provides some relief although it is visually unappealing - compromises are required.\nPhoto 2 Bridge Tracks - View 1\nOn the swing bridge are the tracks that complete the loops and provide access to the car ferry and engine service facilities. The main line track runs around the room twice in an over and under configuration. The actual crossing takes place here on the swing bridge. Also on the bridge the hidden staging tracks connect with the main line and complete their own, independent loop. Finally, the lead for the car ferry and the rest of the wharf area breaks off from the main line on the bridge. This view shows the north end of the bridge. The following view shows the south end.\nThis is the south end of the swing bridge. The top track is part of the main line. The track directly below it is part of the staging track loop. Parallel to that track is the lower portion of the main line.\nPhoto 4 North East Corner\nHere you can see the corner of the layout as it approaches the swing bridge from the north. In the lower foreground area, there will be a turntable and an engine service and storage facility.\nPhoto 5 South East Corner\nHere you can see the corner of the layout as it approaches the swing bridge from the south. The corner is fitted with a mirror. You can see the upper level main line track and the lower level main line as well. Hard to see and slightly behind the lower level track is the track from the staging yard. In the foreground, you can see the hull of the steamer St. Ignace. It will be a waterline model of a car ferry that worked the Straits of Mackinac in the late 1800's and early 1900's.\nThe car ferry model hull is made from layers of foam board that have been shaped, filled and coated with black epoxy.\nPhoto 6 South side and South West Corner\nThis view shows the wharf area and the hull of the St. Ignace. The upper level track is dropping down and the lower level track is rising to meet it. In the background, you can see the even lower staging tracks. The backdrop is made from foam board attached to firring strips and painted my choice for sky blue.\nPhoto 7 South West Corner - Normal View\nIn this view, you see the layout from the normal, viewing perspective. It is about 52 inches from the floor to the deck of the car ferry. The other tracks are higher. Most of the staging yard will be covered with lift-out sections of scenery.\nPhoto 8 West End\nThe west end of the layout is the location of the town. For my inspiration, I am working from photos of the town of St. Ignace on the north side of the Straits. I am also using photos of the village of Mackinaw City on the south side (there are many creative ways to spell the name of the area and the natives up there use them all) and of Sutter Creek in California. All three municipalities are currently supported largely by tourist revenues. All three have somewhat similar architecture - some dating from about the same time frame. Many of these buildings predate the estimated 1955 time frame for my railroad and they all seem to have similar character.\nAt this point, the two parts of the main line loop are level with each other. The staging tracks are covered by the removable town. You can see the beginnings of the buildings that will represent the town. I am using HO kits as my starting point. By adding a foot or so to the foundations and using larger doors, they become S-Scale models. Thank goodness that many HO kits are made a tad oversized.\nPhoto 9 North West Corner\nHere you can see that the outer track is beginning to rise and the inner track to descend. You can also make out the staging tracks below them. My current power is a standard MRC pack and a homemade TAT IV throttle.\nAlthough I have allowed for DCC in the future, I have not yet made up my mind about it. Some recent experiences with DCC on other layouts has convinced me that the case is not clear cut. The sound systems get to be a bit irritating after a few minutes. Also, I have seen numerous instances of unexpected loss of memory in locos and throttles. It all seems to add a layer of complexity that detracts from the railroad experience. It may be that simple block controls will suffice.\nPhoto 10 North Side\nHere is a high view of the north side. The main lines are diverging in height and the staging tracks are rising to meet them on the swing section. Soon, the lead to the wharf area and to the engine service facility will be constructed on the inside of the benchwork.",

        "title": "RENTING YOUR HOME LONG TERM IN SPAIN Pt 3 \u2013 Landlords have rights \u2013 so do tenants\u2026 \u00ab Writers in Spain",
        "raw_content": "Info, Javea (Xabia), Lynn Cobb\nHow do I know the property I\u2019m renting won\u2019t be repossessed or sold?\nThis seems to be a growing problem. I\u2019ve known several people & families in the last year or so who have had to move because the owners of the property they are renting haven\u2019t paid the mortgage & the bank has started repossession proceedings \u2013 it has happened to one family I know twice in around 6 months! So what can you do to protect your home? Some agents will insist that the property owner sign a declaration that there are no debts against the property, including mortgage payments & utilities.\nThere is provision for the rental contract to be registered with the Land Registry. If registered, then if the property is sold or repossessed, the tenant has \u2018sitting tenants\u2019 rights & the contract has to be honoured.\nIt\u2019s also possible to get a nota simple for the property at a small cost, which will also show any debts or legal proceedings against the property.\nHow can I be sure that the tenant will pay the rent?\nIt\u2019s of course possible to check references \u2013 although that can be difficult if the tenant has just arrived in the country. It\u2019s not unreasonable in that situation to ask pointed questions about income. Many agents will share information about the reliability of tenants too.\nIf you\u2019re using an agent, check if this is part of what they will be doing for you. If the rental contract is registered with the Land Registry, eviction for non-payment of rent can be initiated when the rent is just 10 days late.\nWhat about the deposit & the rent? The law requires 1 month deposit, equal to a month\u2019s rent \u2013 however the tenant & landlord can agree to more should they wish to. Rent is usually paid a month upfront/in advance. The deposit is supposed to be held in a separate account (in escrow) so that it is available for return when the tenant leaves. It should be returned to the tenant when they leave, less any costs incurred for damages (actual damage, not wear & tear or cleaning) & any unpaid bills. To avoid disagreement as to the condition of the property it is highly recommended that both tenant & landlord have a set of photos & a full inventory of equipment, when the tenant takes possession of the property. Some owners prefer to have the rent paid in cash. If so, a proper receipt should be issued each month. It is recommended that a standing order for the rent to be set up to pay the rent directly from the tenant\u2019s account to the owner\u2019s.\nTax. Landlords are supposed to declare the rental income for tax \u2013 they can then claim tax breaks for all sorts of things regarding the upkeep of the property. Many tenants can also declare their rental against their income tax. Not all landlords do declare the income, unfortunately. Tenants who will be including their rental in their tax returns need to be sure that the landlord is also declaring. This is best discussed before a contract is signed.\nEnergy efficiency certificate. All long term rental properties now have to have an Energy Efficiency Certificate. It is the owner\u2019s responsibility to arrange & pay for this.\nAccess to the property. The agent or owner of the property can have reasonable access. This means that they can periodically visit to ensure that all is OK. All visits should be arranged in advance & should only take place when the tenant is present. The agent or owner should never enter the property \u2013 even the garden \u2013 without the tenant\u2019s knowledge or consent. Most of the time all that is required is a quick phone call to agree on a time.\nUtility Bills. These are usually the responsibility of the tenant. It is common practice for utility bills to remain in the owner\u2019s name, but be paid by direct debit by the tenant. Some owners prefer to pay the bill & collect the cash from the tenant, and sometimes the bills are put into the tenant\u2019s name. Agree on how this is to be dealt with before the contract is signed. Local taxes are usually the responsibility of the owner. This should be made clear in the contract\nThe contract. It should be written in Spanish \u2013 if there were ever reason to go to court it would have to be in Spanish, so it\u2019s best to just have it in Spanish in the first place. If you \u2013 owner or tenant \u2013 don\u2019t speak a good level of Spanish, make sure you get an independent translation \u2013 not a googletranslate version \u2013 or at the very least get a Spanish speaker to check over any translation you might have been provided. Don\u2019t sign anything unless or until you are happy with what you are signing.\nA link to a pro-forma contract",

        "raw_content": "http://ns.msu.edu/index.php/students/career/career-exploration/careers-for-biological-sciences-majors/#zoology\nThe Michigan State University College of Natural Sciences website offers great information on what career choices are available for individuals with a degree in zoology. It also provides information on specific job duties as well potential education paths and salaries.\nZoologists are life scientists who study animals, observing them in the laboratory and in their natural habitat. They study the origin and development of species as well as their habits, behaviors and interactions. Zoologists, who also research the development of animal diseases, sometimes known as animal scientists or animal biologists because zoology is the branch of biology that deals with the animal kingdom.\nZoology is a wide field offering many career opportunities for research, especially because there still is a great deal to learn about it. A career in zoology offers an opportunity to make a difference to the planet\u2019s ecology through conservation work. Most zoologists are employed by colleges and universities, where they engage in research and teach students.\nIn general, all zoology specializations involve work with animals, either in the wild or in a lab. Some zoologists study the entire organism while other zoologists study only parts of an organism. Also, zoology is not merely an observational pastime for natural history buffs; it involves analytical research and experimental laboratory components, just as all other biological sciences do. As with other disciplines, zoologists work outdoors in the field and in laboratories using a wide variety of scientific equipment. Some zoologists conduct field research in remote areas and harsh climates, which can involve strenuous physical activity and primitive living conditions.\nCounty, state and federal agencies employ zoologists in a wide range of positions, and sometimes the hiring agency might not be related directly to zoology. The Department of Energy and the U.S. Geological Survey are two good examples. Many of these jobs involve research, and some can include work in the regulation and enforcement of environmental laws.\nZoologists also can find careers in industry and private business. For example, some industries employ field biologists to monitor and manage effluent production, land use around a factory and environmental health.\nExamples of typical job duties for a zoologist are as follows:\nMonitoring wildlife health and creating recovery plans\nCommunicating with the public by conducting field trips to point out scientific, historic and natural features of a park\nSetting up equipment to monitor and collect pollutants from sites, such as smoke stacks, manufacturing plants and mechanical equipment\nConducting experimental studies indoors and outdoors\nStudying the origin, interrelationships, classification, life histories, diseases, development, genetics and distribution of organisms in basic research.\nDaily tasks vary widely based on the specific career in zoology. The following are a few key tasks for some of the available zoology roles:\nA zookeeper\u2019s role includes preparing animals\u2019 meals; caring for animals; cleaning enclosures; monitoring and recording behavior; ensuring the animals are healthy; grooming, exercising and training animals; and talking to visiting groups about the animals.\nAmong other duties, wildlife educators reside at the study location and research and explore various intricacies of wildlife behavior; research and write information for use in printed materials and on websites; prepare information for educational visits; design and prepare displays; and buy or raise animals for exhibition.\nResearchers perform experiments; identify new data achieved through research; use data to help solve environmental or health problems; breed and raise specimens; dissect animals and preserve their bodies; use computers, microscopes and other equipment to analyze and record findings; prepare collections of preserved specimens or slides for identification and study; research species in their natural surroundings; collect specimens to study in the lab; collect or catalog species; write papers and give speeches; and prepare grant proposals to obtain funding.\nWildlife rehabilitators care for ill, injured and orphaned wild animals and birds; release animals back into their habitat; and acquire relevant permits from state and federal wildlife agencies.\nStudents planning careers as field biologists need strong mathematical skills and should like working with computers. Perseverance, curiosity and the ability to concentrate on details and work independently are essential.\nIn addition to basic biological knowledge, interested students should seek opportunities to demonstrate they can work well with a wide variety of people. Good oral and written communication skills are critical, as many scientists work as part of a team, write research papers or proposals and have contact with clients or customers with nonscience backgrounds.\nExperience through internships, undergraduate research or co-op programs is valued highly by employers and graduate schools. Although there are career opportunities for zoologists with only a bachelor\u2019s degree, many professional field biologists hold either a master\u2019s degree or a Ph.D. For this reason, individuals interested in careers in zoology should give careful consideration to graduate study and should research the different jobs available at the B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. levels as part of choosing a major of study.\nThe average salary range for a zoologist in the initial stages of his or her career is $30,000 to $45,000 per year. After five years of work experience, the range is $40,000 to $55,000 per year. After 10 years of work experience, the range is $45,000 to $65,000 per year. For senior zoologists (20 or more years of work experience), salary range is $55,000 to $80,000 per year.",

        "title": "The New Africa: 5 amazingly simple ways to make more money and create massive impact",
        "raw_content": "5 amazingly simple ways to make more money and create massive impact\nLet\u2019s face it \u2013 we all want to multiply our income and create more impact. It\u2019s our motives that differ. More money means more options. It gives us the latitude to do the things that matter to us, the kind of things that we cannot do when we are busy slaving our lives out to make ends meet. We all have lofty dreams. We want to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, shelter the homeless and rehabilitate the destitute. We want to live prosperously to affect others positively. We want to publish books, build businesses and create products that will solve people\u2019s problems and perhaps change the world.\nSo, why are we not doing these things? What is the most obvious challenge that is holding us back? Well, the answer for most people is money. Little wonder the Good Book says that \u201cMoney answers all things.\u201d Now, money is certainly not the first or most important thing. My brilliant and enterprising friend, Olugbenga Odeyemi of e86 Technologies, recently pointed out that the real issue for most people is preparation of the mind. Are you prepared to take advantage of the opportunity that you seek?\nIf you were given N10million right now, would you know what to do with it? The truth is 90 percent of us would keep this money in the bank while we think of what to do with it. This is because, like my friend pointed out, most people\u2019s minds are too blocked to think through their situation. Now, the question is: why are people\u2019s minds so blocked? And that for as large a proportion as 90 percent! Well, we can adduce reasons like indiscipline, poor resolve, lack of ambition and a host of others. While the foregoing factors are certainly relevant, a closer examination of the situation will point us to Maslow\u2019s Hierarchy of Needs.\nIn a 1943 paper, A Theory of Human Motivation, Abraham Maslow pointed out that all of us have a desire to do great things, maximise our potentials and be all that we can be. However, to achieve these ultimate goals, we must meet some basic needs first \u2013 needs like food, good shelter, financial security, physical safety, healthy lifestyle, love and self esteem. It is only after meeting the basic needs \u2013 also called deprivation needs \u2013 that we can go on to meet the higher needs also known as the being needs.\nHowever, most people are so trapped at the lower levels that they don\u2019t have the margin to even think about or effectively pursue the higher goals. In other words, most of us are living as human doings rather than human beings.Most people would love to engage in more profitable activities but they are stuck with their current jobs because they have bills to pay right now, and a job is the only thing that offers the promise of providing money right now.\nWhat do you really need; job or income?\nAgainst this backdrop, the first goal \u2013 or the most basic reason \u2013 for desiring to make more money is to put us in a position where we can trade less time for money so that we have more time and energy to pursue our higher aspirations. What if you could make more money while still working your job? That will give you more latitude to not only sufficiently take care of your basic needs but also to explore more options to make your life count even more.\nMy goal in this article is to acquaint you with five channels through which I am making more money so I can sufficiently meet my basic needs and have the presence of mind to clarify and pursue my dreams. You might be familiar and comfortable with some of them. You might be sceptical and wary about others but I assure you that I have personally explored and I\u2019m still exploring all these avenues with good success and modest results.\nOver time, I am confident that the results will go from modest to over-the-top. That is why I\u2019m inviting you to come along and let\u2019s enjoy the journey together. Please note that you need a self-hosted website to take full advantage of the strategies I\u2019ll be talking about. However, that should not deter you. You can still implement some of them without having a website. And when you decide that you need you need a website, just talk to me and I\u2019ll be glad to help you set it up. Alternatively, you may refer to my website setup tutorial and get it done easily. So, if you want to make extra money while working on your business or job, what are your options?\nThis is perhaps the simplest way to make money online. You recommend a product or service and get a commission when someone purchases through you. The key here is to recommend products and services that you use and honestly believe will offer tremendous value to your audience or clients. Don\u2019t recommend a product simply because of how much you can make from it. I recently stopped recommending a web host because I can no longer vouch for the quality and integrity of their services. I moved over to another host that only pays me 50 percent of what the other host used to pay.\nDo I like to make more money? Certainly! But it is more important to me that I provide value for my people, keep their trust and preserve the confidence they have reposed in me. What I love most about affiliate marketing is the fact that it enables me to help people get what they need at a great bargain while I also make money at no cost to them. In most cases, they would still have bought the product anyway, maybe even at a higher price. So if I can help them get it at a cheaper rate and get paid for that, why not?\nYou are not open for business until you have something to sell. One of the low hanging fruits in this regard is eBooks. Everyone has knowledge that can be packaged into an eBook. The key is to make the information you\u2019re sharing valuable and of practical use to your audience. Seek first to add value before making money. Your primary goal should be to solve a problem or ease a burden. But you need to make money so you can continue to offer value. You can be so focused on adding value that you get to a point where you cannot even cover your basic costs, thus taking you back to square one.\nOne good thing about selling your own products is that unlike affiliate marketing where you build customers for another company, you are building customers for yourself when you sell your own products. And you can make recurrent income for many years from a single product, with occasional tweaks. My preferred platforms for selling eBooks are mypersonal website, Smashwords, Amazon and Gumroad.\nAnother way to make some good extra income is by offering services that meet the need of your audience. For instance, a good proportion of my readers are speakers, writers and young professionals. They want to create a professional profile, build a decent web presence and look good online. Some of them also want to become published authors. And since those needs are within my areas of expertise, I offer to meet them with a bouquet of relevant services.\nYes, networking marketing is on the list. Of course, I know that many network marketing businesses are little more than pyramid schemes that only benefit those at the top. However, there are a few good ones that have refined their business models such that everyone gets rewarded handsomely for their efforts, and that within a relatively short period of time. For instance, one of the network marketing businesses I\u2019m involved with rewards you with twelve times your initial investment within two weeks. That\u2019s a profit of 1200 percent!\nThe beauty of network marketing is the synergy it affords, especially when you have a good team. You realise the truth in the saying that \u201cTogether, Everyone Achieves More\u201d. We also know that your network determines your net worth. Network marketing provides a platform to leverage on this knowledge. The first challenge I have experienced with network marketing has to do with selling products that no one wants to buy. The second challenge is creating time for one-one-one physical meetings with prospects. However, since I have verified that network marketing is a realistic business model, I chose not to be deterred and eventually discovered improved models that do not have those bottlenecks. I don\u2019t have to sell expensive products; rather I help people to solve their financial problems. I don\u2019t need to have face-to-face discussions with prospects; we can have virtual meetings.\nIf you have been using information products and eBooks for any considerable length of time, you would find that as good as many of them are, they do not afford the same kind of help that you have when you have someone to literally hold you by the hand and show you exactly what to do. Even when you have training videos, you can learn more from a good teacher than you can from a video. Coaching goes beyond providing information to offering the help and support that you need to achieve your goals. That\u2019s what Michael Hyatt does with his team at Platform University. Many popular bloggers have similar programs. If you prefer to engage in physical one-on-one coaching, one platform that I highly recommend is Tuteria. Backed by team that is relentlessly committed to excellence, Tuteria has a remarkable application process with a wide range of options for teachers and learners alike.\nNow, those are my top five recommended channels for making extra income and massive impact right now. You\u2019ll certainly need to invest a measure of effort to have the kind of results you desire. Truth is: there is no such thing as passive income; effort is always part of the equation. The key is to find a system that allows you to leverage your efforts such that with little time and effort, you can achieve massive results. Do you remember the concept of load and effort in elementary physics? With a small lever correctly deployed, you can lift a load that you would ordinarily not be able to lift. That\u2019s what the five strategies we have discussed will do for you.\nNow that you have read this, what do you think and what are you going to do about it? Which of these five channels are you using already and which ones do you intend to start using? If you have any question or need any help, let me know in the comments section. Alternatively, you can send me an email and I\u2019ll be delighted to help.",

        "raw_content": "2016InReview: Nigeria's 6 religious killings that happened in 2016\nIn 2016, Nigerians have seen many killed because of their religious convictions. These deaths have been deeply saddening as the bereaved have continued to cry out for justice.\nAs the year ends, Naij.com is compiling a list of some of the religious killings that shook the country to its core, so that we might reflect on them and prevent such happenings in the new year.\n1. Bridget Agbahime\nLate Mrs Bridget Agbahime\nBridget Agbahime was a 74 year old Igbo market woman, originally from Imo state, who sold kitchen utensils in Kano.\nOn June 2, 2016, she was brutally attacked and killed at Kofar Wambai Market in Kano by a Muslim mob who accused her of blasphemy.\nAccording to reports, she was pounced upon and murdered after she refused to allow a Muslim man perform ablution in front of her shop.\nAs expected, there was outrage and promises to bring the perpetrators to justice. The prime suspect in the murder, Dauda Ahmad was arrested, and so were four others: Abdullahi Mustapha, Zubairu Abubakar, Abdullahi Abubakar and Musa Abdullahi.\nHowever, six weeks ago they were all set free by the court and as at the time of this report, no explanation has been given. No justice has been served.\n2. Eunice Olawale Elisha\nMrs Eunice Elisha\nEunice Olawale Elisha was a 42-year-old mother of seven, who loved to preach. What she loved was one of the factors that led to her death on July 9, 2016.\nThe Ekiti state born indigene has lived in the Kubwa area of Abuja, with her family for many years before she lost her life in the early hours of July 9.\nShe was well known as a Pentecostal preacher. Reports have it that she was stabbed to death by suspected Muslim extremists.\nShortly after the body was discovered, on a Saturday, the police said they had arrested some suspects and had commenced investigation on the matter.\nYet up till now, about five months later, no suspects have been brought to justice.\n3. Mr Methodus Chimaije Emmanuel\nChimaije Emmanuel\nMr Methodus' death was reported by the Nigerian army as follows:\n\"At about 6pm yesterday, May 29, 2016, one Mr Methodus Chimaije Emmanuel, a 24-year-old trader based in Pandogari, Rafi LGA of Niger state was attacked and killed by a mob in the town on allegation of posting a blasphemous statement about Prophet Muhammad on the social media.\"\nThe alleged Facebook post is yet to be presented, but it was said that he insulted the Prophet Muhammad in the post.\nThe Nigerian army quelled the resulting riot, there have been no reports of the prosecution of his killers.\n4. 8 Christians killed in September 2016\nWomen weeping following a killing\nOn Sunday, September 18, eight Christians were killed as they left church according to the Catholic Herald in the UK.\nDuring the same time, Islamic extremists, suspected to be Boko Haram killed more than 40 troops from a multi-national force in an attack on a convoy in north-east Nigeria.\n5. 40 Christians killed in Kaduna\n41-year-old Pastor Akut of the Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA) said this about the attack on Christians in Kaduna state:\n\u201cWe fled into the bushes, and some of us escaped to safer areas,\u201d he said. \u201cThe attackers were in the hundreds and were well armed.\nSome of them wore army uniforms, while others wore police uniforms. Some of them exchanged gunfire with the few soldiers stationed at the post office in the town, while others burned down houses of Christians.\u201d\n6. Zamfara 8\nIn August 2016, northern CAN has asked Christians to defend themselves whenever they came under attack, following the killing of eight Christians in Talata-Mafara in Zamfara state and a Pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Luka Ubangari, by suspected Fulani herdsmen in Unguwan Anjo in Kaduna state.\nMay we see less of such in 2017.",

        "raw_content": "Neurological Basis of Altruism\nAltruistic behavior is often seen as a hallmark of civilized person. Defined as a selfless concern for the well-being of others, or action/behavior that benefits others at someone\u2019s own expense, altruism was, for very long time, viewed from two opposite perspectives.\nSome would argue that altruism is an integral part of human nature, something that is written in our genes. Others would say that altruism is a product of civilizing influence which start to appear in human society with the development of culture and/or religion. The question appears to be mostly philosophical rather than scientific, and indeed it was mostly discussed and analyzed in philosophical and theological circles. Surprisingly, more definitive answer to this question may come from neuroscience. Indeed, recent research findings provide convincing evidences that, to a certain degree, we are biologically programmed to be good and caring of each other.\nAltruism is not an exclusive domain of human culture \u2013animals are known to be altruistic. Animals fearlessly defend their youngsters, even when knowing that the offspring belong to other members of the species. Many researchers do not view parental behavior as real altruism, though. In a more convincing experiment, scientists were giving electric shocks to a rat each time when its neighbor was eating food. The neighbor eventually stopped eating! Should we view this as an example of higher level of intelligence and brain development? Neuroscience provides a remarkable answer to this question.\nAltruism and charity\nIn their seminal work published in 2006, Moll and co-authors investigated the human brain activity using functional MRI when participants were making decisions on charitable donations with real money. Anonymous charitable activity is universally seen as an example of pure altruism since individuals donating money can hardly ever expect any benefits, favors or financial gains come back to them.\nThe main theme of this experiment was to construct a map of the neural pathways involved in the decisions based on self-interests or any kind of altruistic behavior. The participants were provided with the list of charitable organizations and their mission statements, and were asked to donate small amount of their sum to organizations of their own choice so that scientist could study their brain activities. But the experiment involved an additional unusual feature: the money that were not donated would be given to participant as his/her personal monetary reward. Thus, there was a conflict between decisions to donate or to oppose the cause.\nMost of the participants made consistently costly decisions donating, on average, 40% of money. Participants also took longer time making costly decisions than non-costly, showing that such decision involves moral emotions in judgment. Activity in different regions of the brain was observed according to the decision of the participant, either involving self-interest or selfless decisions.\nMidbrain ventral tegmental area (VTA), dorsal striatum and ventral striatum were activated by both pure monetary rewards and decisions to donate. Donating to social causes activates two regions: VTA and striatum mesolimbic network. This suggests that both donation to societal causes and money earning activate anatomical system of reward reinforcements and expectancy.\nThe subgenual area (Brodmann\u2019s area 25) was highly specific for decisions involving donations. This area plays an important role in social attachments. Unlike the midbrain VTA, this area was activated in situations where monetary rewards were not expected. The ventral striatum (with adjoining sepal\u2019s region) was seen to be more active for donations rather than pure monetary rewards. The anterior prefrontal cortex was involved in decisions purely involving the benefits of others.\nLeaving this anatomical description aside, what these findings demonstrate? The areas of brain that were lighting up during altruistic donations are actually the same ancient parts of the brain that are activated in response to food, sex and material gains. The results suggest that altruistic behavioral traits are hard-wired in the brain, and they are even pleasurable.\nAltruism in the pre-frontal cortex\nThere are many areas in the brain that are responsible for decision making and reasoning. They include the amygdala, somatosensory cortex, anterior insula and prefrontal cortex. The combined effect of processes happening in these areas influences our altruistic behavior. Some areas are more important for decision making while others are involved in empathy, the sympathy for pain and feelings for others. But the most important area of them all was shown to be the prefrontal cortex.\nRecent experiments have showed that the prefrontal cortex is responsible for behavioral changes and controlling impulses. In one study, researchers aimed to find out if certain areas of the prefrontal cortex might be involved in blocking the altruistic impulses.\nThe study participants were subjected to a noninvasive procedure called theta-burst Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). This procedure temporarily dampens activity in specific regions of the brain, thus allowing to observe what happens when a specific part of brain is not active.\nThose participants in whom the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex was dampened tended to be generous to people with higher income, i.e. those who wouldn\u2019t be in much need of handouts. And in those participants in whom the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex was dampened, there was a tendency to be more generous towards everyone. The findings demonstrate once more that altruism is really encoded in our brain. By nature, we are very altruistic indeed.\nApart from answering the deeply philosophic question about our nature and morality, neuroscience appears to suggest potential new avenues for increasing empathy. This can have far reaching practical applications, particularly for treating people who have experienced desensitizing situations, such as war experience or a period of staying in prison. I won\u2019t be surprised if one day we will have some pills aimed at modifying our character to the better.\nBaumgartner, T., Knoch, D., Hotz, P., Eisenegger, C., & Fehr, E. (2011).

        "raw_content": "In November last year, the International Finance Facility for Immunisation (IFFIm) issued a US$500 million sukuk with a difference \u2013 the funds would be used to buy life-saving vaccines.\nFrom an attempt to wipe out polio in the Democratic Republic of Congo, to the deployment in Haiti of a five-in-one vaccine that tackles haemophilus influenza, tetanus, hepatitis B, diphtheria and whooping cough, the funds from the sukuk, structured by a consortium of banks including NBAD, will be used to support a project that is estimated to have already saved more than 6 million lives.\nAs an added bonus, the sukuk pays, in quarterly coupons, a Sharia-compliant profit rate equivalent to the US 3-month London Interbank Offered Rate plus 0.5 per cent. For Islamic investors interested in putting their money to its best use, products such as these are an obvious choice. \u201cThe principles underlying our work are very well aligned with the principles of Islamic finance,\u201d says Rene Karsenti, the chairman of IFFIm. \u201cThe sukuk offers a profit, a good rate of return, and the social benefit \u2013 use of the proceeds for a very noble cause, which is to save lives.\u201d\nIFFIm\u2019s sukuk indicates a growing similarity between two heretofore disparate areas of asset management: Islamic finance, and the largely western socially responsible investment (SRI) tradition,\nThe IFFIm, which is part of the World Bank, has secured $6.3 billion in funding from nine different countries, to be paid over a period of 20 years \u2013 so the organisation has decided to issue debt against these promises to fund current vaccination projects.\nThis serves two purposes. First, the more vaccines that are provided at once, the more effective a vaccination programme is. If you vaccinate half the population of a given area, disease can still spread rapidly; if 99.9 per cent of a population is vaccinated, there is a good chance that the disease may die out completely.\nThe second reason is more immediate: hundreds of thousands of people are dying from treatable diseases every day. So why wait?\nMr Karsenti says opting for an Islamic product allows IFFIm to attract Islamic investors. In this, IFFIm has been successful: 68 per cent of total orders originated in the Middle East and Africa.\nMr Karsenti describes the move as \u201cnatural\u201d for IFFIm, whose vaccination project has invested more than half of its funds in 33 Organisation of Islamic Countries member states, including Mali, Mozambique, Bangladesh, Niger and Afghanistan.\nLast year, SRI funds totalled about $6.57 trillion in assets under management in the US alone, the US Social Investment Forum says, while global Islamic finance assets are estimated to total $1.7tn in 2014, according to Ernst & Young. Both are recording double-digit growth rates.\nSRI grew out ofChristian religious institutions that wanted to place their funds in companies that did not violate Biblical teachings.\n\u201cSRI means different things to different people, but ultimately, the bottom line, or profit, is not the only consideration. Most funds want to show that they are making an impact on society,\u201d says Joshua Brockwell, the investment communications manager at Azzad Asset Management, an Islamic fund in the US.\nSRI funds choose from two non-exclusive approaches. Negative screening means a fund cannot invest in some asset areas regarded as morally impermissible. Positive screening involves searching for investments that return a positive social benefit.\nIt is positive screening where the commonalities are most evident \u2013 an emphasis on delivering clear social benefits, where labour conditions, the environment, standards of governance and fair-dealing are taken into account. \u201cThere is a vast overlap between what can be considered socially responsible investing and Islamic finance,\u201d says Farmida Bi, the head of Islamic finance at Norton Rose Fulbright. \u201cThe basis of Islamic finance is real economic activity, which must not be based on the oppression of other people. SRI principles are very similar to these ideas,\u201d Ms Bi says.\n(The National Business / 08 January 2014)",

        "raw_content": "You are here: Home > Sports-Medicine > Sprains-And-Strains > diskitis\nDiscitis is the infection or inflammation of the disc between 2 vertebrae.\nThe spine consists of bony structures called vertebrae stacked one on top of another. Vertebrae are separated by discs, or plate-like bodies made up of cartilage, that act as shock-absorbing cushions. In discitis, the disc becomes infected or inflamed, later causing destruction of the adjoining vertebral bone. Discitis usually affects children ranging from toddlers to adolescents. It may be seen in adults as a complication of spinal surgery. The lower back area (lumbar spine) is the part of the spine most often involved.\nThe main symptom is pain. The toddler may refuse to walk or may lean forward when walking, sometimes with the hands on the thighs to support the back. Getting up from the floor may also be difficult.\nSigns include a temperature ranging from normal to low-grade fever, depending on the type of infection. Straight leg raising may be limited.\nDiscitis is caused when an infection in another part of the body, particularly the pelvic area, spreads through the blood stream to the spine. Bacteria are found in less than 50% of cases. Other cases are thought to be viral or inflammatory. In rare cases, such as in tuberculosis, infection may spread from bone to disc, the reverse order of the spread in discitis.\nThe best prevention is the prompt, appropriate treatment of infections in other parts of the body.\nDiscitis is suspected based on the symptoms and signs above, but diagnosis is often not easy. Blood tests may show signs of infection, but are not enough to make the diagnosis. An x-ray can show the narrowing of disc space and abnormalities in the vertebrae, but not for about 2 to 3 weeks after the onset of the disease. Bone scans and special x-rays such as an MRI are often helpful, revealing the spread of infection in a given area.\nIf the infection progresses to involve the vertebrae significantly, the vertebrae of the spine may fuse, or grow together. If this occurs in a young child, the spine may begin to tilt forward as it grows, a condition known as kyphosis.\nThere are no risks to others, as discitis is not contagious.\nTreatment varies depending on what the cause may be. If the cause is bacterial, a combined therapy of intravenous and oral antibiotics may be given for a total of 4 to 6 weeks. For other causes, therapy may consist of rest and a body brace or cast. Rarely is surgery need to clean out the infection.\nIn the case of prolonged antibiotic use, side effects, such as diarrhoea or allergic reaction to the medication may occur.\nPotential complications include kyphosis or chronic inflammation of the spine.\nPain levels and temperature should be monitored. The doctor will check blood tests and x-rays periodically.",

        "title": "Six Critical Elements of an Effective Fire Safety Plan",
        "raw_content": "Dec 4, 2018 - Terry Guidry, The American Equity Underwriters, Inc.\nIt is well known that the shipyard industry is a highly hazardous work environment. One of the most recognized hazards is employee exposure to \u201cfire events.\" OSHA has written the standard \u201cFire Protection in Shipyard Employment\u201d (1915 Subpart \u201cP\u201d) for shipyards to implement and maintain. The standard is intended to protect all employees working at the shipyard from burns and other possible injuries when exposed to fire events. A shipyard can begin to mitigate its risk to employee injuries by fully understanding a few of the elements of the OSHA standard and implementing a plan for their facility.\nThe first element of protecting employees from a fire event is to have a written fire safety plan. In drafting the plan, a shipyard should assess their operations to identify the areas where fire hazards may exist. These areas need to have specific guidance on fire preventive measures, how to sound the alarm, emergency contact information for fire responders, evacuation areas, and a process for accounting for each employee\u2019s safety. Employees need to be trained on their responsibilities during a fire event. The plan needs to be reviewed annually and made available at regulatory request.\nCommunicate the plan to everyone working in your yard \u2013 including subcontractors.\nOnce the plan is completed, it is the shipyard\u2019s responsibility to ensure it is communicated and understood by all individuals visiting or working at the facility. Since a growing number of shipyards are dependent on outside laborers to accomplish their work, the shipyard is responsible for instructing third-party workers on the elements of the fire plan. Before starting work, subcontractors should communicate to the shipyard any added fire hazards being brought to the facility and the process to control the hazard.\nDon\u2019t forget about fire suppression systems on your vessels.\nOne significant, and often overlooked, hazard that vessels bring into shipyard operations is the shipboard fire suppression system. These systems are often left unaddressed during shipyard operations and pose a life-or-death situation to employees working in the discharge areas. These systems, both manual and automatic, should be disengaged or use positive means to prevent discharge.\nOutline your process for responding to a fire event.\nThe OSHA standard also requires a shipyard to have a designated process for a fire response. The shipyard can have an internal trained fire response team or rely on an external local municipality fire department. The determining factor for internal vs. external is contingent on the actual response time to the shipyard by the responding fire unit. If the response time exceeds 15 minutes, then the shipyard can be required to have an internal fire response team. In some cases, shipyards may choose to have a combination of both internal and external response teams, since several shipyard workers may be trained volunteer firefighters. >\nWhen using an external fire response organization, the shipyard needs to establish a liaison with the organization to ensure a full understanding of what each group will be required to perform. Some municipality fire department are not adequately trained to perform marine firefighting, thus exposing themselves to unwanted risk. The two groups are required to conduct an annual physical fire exercise to identify areas for improvement. Our blog on working with outside response agencies gives a full outline of how to engage with fire departments before a workplace emergency occurs.\nInternal fire response teams can be more effective during fire events simply because of their immediate knowledge of the shipyard and their quick response. The downside toward internal response teams is that they are costly and personnel is hard to maintain.\nUnderstand where hot work occurs in your facility.\nAnother often-overlooked area of a fire safety plan is an outline of any hot work the vessel\u2019s crew will be performing while in the shipyard. The OSHA standard includes measures to prevent a fire event, such as inspecting all areas before starting hot work. When any flammable and combustible materials or gases are in the hot work areas, they are required to be removed immediately. If materials cannot be moved, then a trained firewatch will be assigned to the area to prevent the start of a fire.\nPurchase and maintain equipment necessary to prevent and fight fires.\nFirefighting equipment, including fire extinguishers, fire pumps, hoses, etc., plays a major role in any fire safety plan. Employees required to use firefighting equipment should be educated on the limitations of the equipment. Firefighting equipment needs to be maintained in a state of readiness. It needs to be inspected monthly for any deficiencies and replaced when defects are found.\nIn summary, OSHA has acknowledged that shipyards are dangerous environments to work in and around when it comes to fires. Therefore, to protect our employees from fire events, shipyards need to have an effective and updated fire safety plan.

        "raw_content": "Grain Sorghum-it's also called milo. Kansas producers grow over 40 percent of the nation's grain sorghum every year. Kansas is the nation's leading producer of grain sorghum, producing 145 million bushels of sorghum in 2006--45 percent of the nation's crop. Total US sorghum production was 278 million bushels. Kansas growers value grain sorghum because it is well suited to perform well in many types of soils and weather. Kansas is a diverse state with soils ranging from sandy to clay to loam, and with summertime weather patterns ranging from hot and humid in the east to hot and dry in the west. With these varying weather and soil conditions throughout Kansas, grain sorghum is a crop that Kansas farmers can depend on.\nMost of the grain sorghum produced in Kansas is used as livestock feed. However, the market is expanding with new uses including the production of ethanol, a clean burning fuel for automobiles and starch based biodegradable products like packaging materials. In Kansas, grain sorghum used at the seven Kansas ethanol plants located in Campus, Atchison, Garden City, Colwich, Leoti, Garnett and Russell. The byproduct of ethanol production is distillers' grain, which is valued as a high-nutrient livestock feed. Interest is also growing among consumers who are interested in reaping the benefits of adding nutritious food grade grain sorghum to their diets.\nGrain sorghum ethanol also produces distillers grains. Grain sorghum will also be expanded in use at some of the new Texas ethanol plants that will come online the first quarter of this year.\nKansas Ethanol\nLabels: Biobased, Ethanol, Feedstocks",

        "raw_content": "Rules from the Road: Early Lessons\nAs you may have heard, Team Kugler packed up shop and moved across the country. One small act in a massive amount of change that has enveloped our life over the past year. As a part of that transition, my organization is allowing me to work remotely from Seattle, and I\u2019m very fortunate to have a flexible arrangement (as well as wonderful friends and family that have allowed us to live rent-free for a few months). Since August, I took week to move across the country, prepped and helped organize our biggest conference in the past few years and launched a new video for the organization (more on that later), all the while planning initiatives for 2014. It was vital to develop discipline and routine during these first few months of working remotely in order to be successful. And I\u2019ve researched and learned as much as I could along the way.\nIn this space of telecommuting and flexible work environments, I feel like there needs to be one more addition to the conversation:\nWhat are some of the tips and tricks of working remotely?\nGini Dietrich and her team made a commitment to remote work, and a lot of my daily routine is thanks to their example. (You should read Spin Sucks, really. They put it better than I can.) Here are some things I discovered over the past few months:\nMake your space your own \u2013 Boundaries are a priority when it comes to work, so making your \u201cspace\u201d extends well beyond your desk and computer. If you\u2019re an organizer like me, the motto \u201ca place for everything and everything in it\u2019s place\u201d is your hallmark. Make sure you spend the time to have your files, post-its, pens, computer, databases and more in order before you begin. Beyond that, make sure your family and significant others (and pets!) understand what time is work and what time is flexible. You can also allow yourself the work breaks you\u2019d normally have in an office setting \u2013 although your breaks can also include making cookies or doing laundry. Most days, I opt for the former.\nBe flexible and learn your own work style \u2013 Chances are, your shift to a flexible work arrangement will come with it\u2019s own growing pains. Maybe you realize after a few months that you miss the camaraderie of the office. Maybe you discover that your 6 a.m. \u2013 3 p.m. schedule (ahem, Amy!!) leaves you drained by Friday at 10 a.m. Ultimately, if your boss is allowing you to determine what work situation works best for you, do yourself the favor and take time to reflect for yourself. You might find that your preconceived notions about how to work best from home will not work for you at all \u2013 and you need to be flexible in order to determine a good fit.\nBe present \u2013 I hear what you\u2019re saying: \u201cHuh, Amy? I\u2019m not in the office. What does \u201cbeing present\u201d mean? While you\u2019re not physically in a workplace and talking with your colleagues around the water cooler, you should go above and beyond trying to connect with them in ways that work for all of you. My colleagues have embraced Google + and Google Hangouts as a way to stay in touch. In fact, I video chat/talk/communicate with each of them at least once a day. But, being present goes beyond just getting online and saying hi. It\u2019s most effective when you approach the conversation with a purposeful list of things that need to be discussed. Distraction is the easiest way to kill productivity (and potentially a colleague\u2019s trust) when you\u2019re video chatting.\nMeetups and co-working spaces are your friend \u2013 I don\u2019t care if you swing from one end of the Myers Briggs personality spectrum to another \u2013 humans were made to connect with other humans. While I\u2019d like to think that the two Boston terriers currently in my lap can have a conversation with me, it is vitally important to connect with others who are like-minded and homo sapiens. Not only that, but it helps refresh your perspective of why you love your job and helps bring some new, innovative ideas to the table. Win-win for all.\nI could go on with about five or six bullet points on best practices, but I think we should save those for another time. The Rules from the Road series will be a permanent fixture on the blog and we\u2019ll cover this issue from all perspectives. Grab your Moleskine notebooks, ballpoint pens and let\u2019s go for the ride!\nFrom One Washington to Another \u2013 Yet Another Catch up Post",

As the daughter of Margaret Tafoya and granddaughter of Serafina Tafoya, Lu Ann grew up learning to make pottery from the masters. She began producing pottery in her late teens and the list of awards she has earned since then is very long. She has participated in juried competitions at the SWAIA Santa Fe Indian Market, Heard Museum Guild Indian Fair & Market, Gallup Intertribal Ceremonial and the Eight Northern Pueblos Arts & Crafts Show, winning awards almost every year since 1980. In 2003 she earned the Blue Ribbons for Best of Pottery and Best of Show at Santa Fe Indian Market.\nLike her famous mother and grandmother, LuAnn specializes in larger pieces: red, black and brown, highly polished and exquisitely carved. She is also a master of the outdoor firing process. Everything about the building, carving and firing of a large piece is different. The clay mix needs more temper, the building of the pot takes more time as it sometimes requires that a coil be allowed to dry some before the next coil is added. Polishing is a more drawn out process, as is carving. And then comes the most dangerous part of the process: the final firing. Lu Ann has mastered them all. She also learned to make pottery in the San Juan style and has earned awards for some of those pieces.\nLuAnn has been a featured artist in books and exhibitions like The Legacy of Generations, Fourteen Families in Pueblo Pottery and Margaret Tafoya: A Tewa Potter's Heritage & Legacy. Some of her work is on display at the Heard Museum of American Indian Art & History in Phoenix, the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, DC, Cincinnati Museum of Fine Art, and at the Poeh Museum in Pojoaque, New Mexico.\nLuAnn has made almost every traditional Santa Clara and San Juan pottery form. Her favorite designs to decorate them with include bear paws, the avanyu, clouds, birds, kiva steps, winds and gourds.\nPhoto of LuAnn Tafoya courtesy of the artist, \u00a9 LuAnn Tafoya, 2006.",

        "title": "The Truth About Rondout Valley Kennels",
        "raw_content": "The Truth About Rondout Valley Kennels\nDear friends, fellow shelter workers, and animal lovers: My family and I have been preparing this statement for weeks now. We are writing this letter in an effort to inform rescues and shelters everywhere of a great injustice being done in the dog world. We spent the last 9 years of our lives working for Sue Sternberg at Rondout Valley Kennels in Accord, New York. Most of you have heard of Sue, for those who haven't she is an internationally known dog trainer and behaviorist. She is also the developer of the temperament test which is implemented in shelters everywhere to determine the adoptability of shelter dogs. Before we continue, let me just tell you we are not bitter ex-employees. We think Sue Sternberg has some wonderful programs. Her radio show is informative and her knowledge of behavior is unsurpassed. Sue was not only our boss, she was an extension of our family. If she heard a noise in the middle of the night, she called us. If we had a problem we needed help with, we called Sue. The incidents leading up to the termination of our employment at Rondout Valley Kennels are serious. We never believed that euthanizing dogs would be more important to Sue than our relationship with her. We were wrong. The incidents leading up to our dismissal at Rondout Valley Kennels are serious. We feel everyone should be aware of them. We have met a lot of you at Rondout Valley Kennels, at APDT conferences and at Sue's seminars. Those of you who know us know we are honest, caring people. Everything we are about to tell you is true and factual, based on our personal experiences, not hearsay or second-hand information. In the years we worked for Sue Sternberg, we not only believed in her temperament test, we believed in her. We truly felt that Rondout Valley Kennels was the best place to surrender a pet or to bring a homeless pet into. The loving care and attention given to the shelter dogs was incredible. We treated them as if they were our own. Presently, the shelter workers have told us that they're afraid to attach themselves to the adoption dogs. They get less personal attention than they did before because they feel they need to distance themselves from the dogs in order to avoid more heartbreak. The temperament test is a valuable tool. It was designed to flush out aggression in a potentially dangerous dog. It was also helpful in determining what behavior issues the dog may have so he could be placed on a program to help or manage the problem. The test was also helpful in determining how a dog should be placed (i.e. no children, experienced home, etc.) When a dog was temperament tested, if he was found to guard a rawhide but not his food, he was put on a program. To try to rectify the guarding, a puppy with signs of dominance was put on a program to put him in his place. I can give examples of both of the above. Flo-Jo is a beautiful Labrador mix who was at Rondout years ago. She never guarded food or toys but she did guard rawhides. She was put on a program and was adopted out to a couple who were aware of her issue. She is very happy to date. Baby Jake would be an example of a puppy with an issue. Baby Jake was an 8 week old Lab mix who had been a stray in Kingston with his litter mate Baby Remy. Baby Remy had no issues. Baby Jake had dominance, food bowl, and possession guarding issues just to name a few. Baby Jake was put on a program and placed in a family where he and the family are very happy with each other to date. I'm giving you these examples so you can see how things have changed. Incoming puppies with dominance or food bowl issues are euthanized. They are no longer placed on programs. The most recent example of this is Scotty. Scotty was a beautiful 7 week old Boxer PitBull mix. He was found in a box outside of a supermarket and brought to Rondout by the family that rescued him. He came complete with toys, a bed, blankets, biscuits and everything else a puppy could possibly want. They were not able to keep the puppy, so they brought him to Rondout. The father consoled the two children as they cried when he handed Scotty over. He had nothing negative to say about this puppy. Scotty was temperament tested by Sue and labeled dominant aggressive and promptly euthanized. No program, no chance...what makes this a particularly bad situation is no staff member saw the temperament test performed. Another example was Rita. Rita was a beautiful Treeing Walker Coonhound. She was at Rondout Valley Kennels for 2 days before a Live Long and Prosper seminar. During the seminar she growled over a rawhide. She was never re-tested, never put on a program...and euthanized the next day. My family does Coonhound rescue and we had brought Rita to Rondout. I will have nightmares over Rita forever. Those of you who attend Sue's Live Long and Prosper seminar that's done at Rondout Valley Kennels are probably unaware of how the demo dogs come about and how they end up. For approximately 2 months leading up to a Live Long and Prosper seminar, Sue begins to gather dogs to use as examples. The more aggressive the dog, the better! These dogs sit in the boarding kennel in what the staff has labeled \"death row\". They have a red dot on their cage which means \"caution\", therefore they do not go out to the exercise yard, and are not given the extra attention and love the adoption animals should receive. An example of this would be Bandit, a 10 month old Husky. He was surrendered due to divorce. He had horrible food bowl aggression, he sat in the boarding kennel for 3 weeks: unexercised, just waiting for his turn to be used as a \"demo dog\" at Live Long and Prosper. After he served his purpose, he was euthanized. The last Live Long and Prosper that we attended, a horrific 14 dogs were euthanized when the seminar ended. Sue took them all at once, in the Kennel Van, which she dubbed the \"death mobile.\" This was one of the most devastating days, the staff was asked to bring the dogs out to the crates in the kennel van through tears of absolute devastation.To this day we remember their names: Ely, Rebel, Seymore, Shamrock, Clover, Wacka, Demon-Seed, Nella, Chloe, Champ, Bandit, Storm, and two last-minute surrenders who weren't even brought down to the adoption kennel. One of the reasons we were able to work at Rondout for so long was Sue's policy. If a dog failed the temperament test, and was unadoptable by Sue's standards, staff members were able to take the dog home or privately place them. Sue's main concern was always liability. Over the years we have adopted many of these dogs and also placed plenty of them. The dogs we placed privately have had no problems to date. I don't know what brought about the change in policy, but as of September, the staff was not allowed to take home or place any dog Sue found unadoptable. (If Sue found a dog to be unadoptable, it was going to die.) If we questioned her, her reply was always \"I'm a professional.\" The staff was no longer able to contact a rescue group. The staff was not even allowed to contact the people who surrendered the dog originally, unless it had been expressly written on the surrender contract. Unfortunately, frequently we were aware of a person wanting to be contacted, but we forgot to write it down. One very recent example of this was Valentino, a beautiful Beagle. From day one, Sue did not like Valentino. He passed the temperament test and the staff routinely dressed him up in sweaters, t-shirts, and carried him around. Sue found him \"unsocial\" and altered his cage card to read: \"I am not a pet, I do not like people.\" We still have this card. Valentino did not like to have his feet touched, he wouldn't bite down, but he would make a lot of noise if you touched his feet. This was only on isolated occasions. The Rondout Valley Kennel Receptionist/Dog-Trainer said that she felt he would never bite. He was basically telling you to leave him alone, and trying to get away from you, not get \"at you\" for touching his feet. On this particular day, Sue had scheduled Valentino and another dog Sasha for euthanasia. The Receptionist/Trainer and I pulled his file. The trainer said that she remembered his owners saying to call them before euthanasia, however, she had neglected to write it down. She called his owner anyway, and was instrumental in preventing his euthanasia and rehoming him. Now, let me tell you about Sasha. Sasha was a beautiful, yet high-strung long-haired Shepherd mix. She did not do well in the shelter environment. She had been placed in a home with a woman who had no problems with her, other than she did not have the time to care for her. The Receptionist/Trainer and Sue temperament tested Sasha, and Sasha passed. She was put up for adoption. She would play too roughly with Sue's Japanese intern, however, she would not repeat this behavior with any other staff member. Sue thought this was enough to substantiate euthanasia. On this particular day, we had managed to move Valentino out. Sue returned late, actually missing her 5 oclock veterinary appointment to euthanize the two dogs. The trainer told her of Valentino's rehoming, and asked her to please take Sasha out in the field with her and demonstrate what Sasha was being euthanized for. The Japanese Intern was also present. Sasha demonstrated the rought play with the intern, and would pay no attention to the trainer or Sue. Sasha was promptly euthanized. The trainer told me the next day, she felt she had sacrificed Sasha in order to save Valentino. She said Sue had become very angry about Valentino being rehomed, and she felt \"Sue needed to kill a dog that day.\" (as of this time, Valentino has been placed in a family with a 13-yr old boy and a cat, with no report of any aggression incident) The temperament test has been revised. What was once a tool to flush out aggression in a potentially dangerous dog was now a weapon that condemns the average dog. A basic tooth exam, one of the first parts of the temperament test, that was done five times for five seconds in a row is now done repetitively until a dog resists. Any sign of resistance is a sign of dominance. This dog is now unadoptable, and he will die. I feel this is borderline abusive. If a person pokes you in the arm over and over, won't you eventually say \"stop it!\" This is the best comparison I can come up with. If a dog ignores Sue, it's labeled dominant aggressive. An example of this is Lady. Lady is a 5-yr old Shepherd mix. She was a surrender to the Town of Rosendale (frequentlly Sue works with the local dog control officers, temperament-tests the dogs they have, and will take the dogs for adoption if they pass the test. If they fail, the dog control officers have the option of taking the dog back, or allowing Sue to euthanize them.) We watched Sue temperament test Lady in the Kennel office. She had no issues, however she was preoccupied with looking out the window into the agility field. (possibly owner-searching) She ignored Sue, Sue labeled her \"dominant\" and \"independent\" based on this, slated her for euthanasia unless the dog control officer wanted her back. The dog control officer took her back, and placed her herself and has had no problems to date. From September to January, 9 out of 10 dogs coming in were labeled dominant aggressive and were euthanized. How is this possible? Sue would temperament test the dogs in the office, and the staff would watch. The Shelter Receptionist/Trainer, who has studied under Sue for years, would also watch the tests. If the dog would fail, which was usually the case, the trainer would say how unfair the test was, or how she didn't see the \"look\" Sue said she saw (in the dog). Some of the dogs she felt, just needed a program. Unfortunately, she would never voice her opinion in Sue's presence for fear of losing her job. She still works there, we voiced our opinion...we don't. The trainer has also designed her own version of the temperament test for small dogs. This way she could tell Sue that she temperament tested the dogs and they passed. She just didn't tell Sue that they passed her own test. They never would have passed Sue's test. Recently, I read an e-mail from someone who described Sue's staff as \"cheery.\" I'd like to know the last time they were at Rondout. The last few months we spent there were filled with crying and employees who became physically ill as a result of the euthanasia. One of the best employees Rondout had, quit after four years because of the amount of senseless euthanasia. (her goal is to one day open her own sanctuary and rescue facility for animals of all types) This particular worker on the day of a rabies clinic, walked into Sue's office to take care of some quarantined cats, and was horrified to find the bodies of several dogs that Sue had the veterinarian that was running the rabies clinic euthanize, while he was there. The staff wasn't even aware of what was going on. To date, all employees of Rondout Valley Kennels have voiced their disapproval to us on Sue's ideas, and none of Sue's workers support what she does...what does that say about her euthanasia policies? The first red flag that I saw was when I was having two Pit Bulls and a German Shepherd mix transported from Long Island where they were slated to be euthanized. I felt they would be given a fair chance here. When I told Sue about it, she said \"don't get your hopes up, there are no adoptable dogs in Long Island.\" I thought she was kidding...I've since learned otherwise. When these dogs arrived, as my daughter was unloading them and bringing them into the kennel, Sue passed her and said \"don't get attached.\" Needless to say, these dogs were all euthanized. I don't feel they were ever given a fair chance, they were labeled unadoptable before they even arrived. The second red flag was all the lying that was being done. On many different occasions, most related to Sue's training wheels program, people were being convinced to surrender their dogs to Rondout Valley Kennels so that they could be rehomed. Sue never had any intentions of rehoming any of these dogs. One example would be a backyard breeder who had many Great Pyrennees dogs. She did not keep these dogs in good conditions, many were underfed and neglected. Over the years she had surrendered plenty of these dogs to Sue and they had been placed. On this particular occasion, she surrendered 5 or 6 dogs to Sue; Sue promising the dogs would be rehomed. These dirty, malnourished, neglected dogs were dirven directly to the vet and promptly euthanized, they never came into the shelter and got a bath, meal, or a wam place to sleep. What makes this particularly horrific is the staff was directed to lie whenever the breeder would call and check on the dogs. We were told to tell her that they were placed, and they were fine. The staff never even met them. Another example would be a man in Sullivan County (I don't remember his name) who had many dogs on his property, mostly tied to dog houses. The man had very little, basically all he had were these dogs. The local shelter would call him when a dog was going to be put down, and he would take them. He cared for these dogs the best he was able to...they knew nothing else. I personally visited these dogs and this man; at the point that I was there, the dogs had toys and bedding in their houses, along with water and food (most of the toys were supplied by training wheels.) Sue ,in conjunction with AWAN, (Animal Welfare Adoption Network) visited this man and convinced him to surrender some of his dogs, under the pretense that they would be rehomed. Sue drove these dogs directly to the veterinarian where they were promptly euthanized. When I came in the next morning, I played the messages on the machine, there were at least four from Holly of AWAN, begging Sue not to euthanize the dogs, she had foster homes for them. They never had a chance...it was never intended for them to have a chance. What started out to be a wonderful program - going into the community, handing out training supplies, and giving advice - turned into a program talking people into surrendering their pets, and the pets being euthanized, and most of the time the people were unaware of the fate of their dogs. What gives Sue the right to play God? Why should she decide who lives and dies? What gives her the right to lie to people about the fate of their pets, because she decides that they would be better off dead? Recently somebody sent out an e-mail saying that I was a caring person, but I allowed a dog named Agnes to suffer needlessly, I feel I have to tell you about Agnes' story. We all loved Agnes. She was part of Rondout years ago, and returned to us when her owner died. She was a big old Dobe Shepherd mix, about 12 years old, we all loved her dearly, and treated her as if she were our own pet. In Agnes' last days, she developed a heart-ailment which caused her to be weak in her hind legs. She was not painfully arthritic, she was weak. She had been put on a new medication and the veterinarian asked us to wait a week or two to see if she responded to it. While Agnes was in the office, she lunged for a small dog, my daughter grabbed her collar to prevent her from hurting the dog, Agnes twisted and fell and dislocated her hip. I was not there for this, I was not even aware of it until the next morning when I found Agnes on the floor of my office, unable to get up. Sue had been aware of it. We called the veterinarian and were going to bring Agnes right in, however it was too painful for Agnes to be lifted. All of us together decided it would be best for Agnes to be put down. The veterinarian gave me a choice of 1pm or after 7pm when he would be able to come and euthanize Agnes at Rondout. My husband went to the vet's office and picked up pain-killers to get Agnes through the day. We asked the veterinarian to come at 1, or as soon as possible, so Agnes wouldn't have to suffer too long. Sue called the veterinarian and asked him to come after 7, then she called the two film-makers who had been doing a documentary on Sue and Rondout Valley Kennels. She kept Agnes allive on the floor in my office, in pain, as each of the staff members came in and sobbed over her. This poor dog had her last hours spent with bright lights and cameras in her face, just so Sue could have a \"dramatic\" documentary. My family and I protested and had nothing to do with this, even the veterinarian had asked me why she had him come so late. I didn't respond. About two weeks before we were fired, Sue and I had a conversation in her office. She told me she needed me to back her up when she decided a dog needed to be euthanized. I told her I didn't think I would be able to do that, because I had problems with the reasons she chose to euthanize dogs...I offered to quit. She asked me to give it a month, I tried. It was two weeks after this conversation that we were let go. Here's how it all came to a head... A New Hampshire Humane Society picked up a lot of dogs from a county shelter in Virginia. They were bringing some to us. First of all, Sue was pissed because \"they were only giving us the fuc**g hounds\" (her words). She left before they arrived, so I waited for them. What I didn't know was that Sue had instructed her Japanese Intern to put the hounds in her house so I wouldn't see them. This way if they were unadoptable by her standards, they would be euthanized without me ever seeing them. Just for the record, Sue herself told me, Karl (my husband), Christina (my daughter), and the women from the New Hampshire shelter this was the case. As the dogs came in, one seemed a little too hyper. I asked the New Hampshire shelter if they would consider taking this dog with them and giving us a different dog. The way Sue had been lately I knew she would not like this girl. Then the shit hit the fan. Sue arrived and became enraged that I would send the dog elsewhere because she wouldn't like her. At this point Sue sent her intern into the house to get the dog, jerked the dog around on a leash and angrily proceeded to temperament test her outside of the New Hampshire shelter van after this poor dog had been in a van for 7 hours. This goes against everything Sue says about temperament testing. She broke her own rules to make a point. I'm 100% sure she sealed this dog's fate. The poor thing never had a chance. After the spectacle, Sue went in her house, and we went home. When we showed up for work the next day, Sue greeted us at the car and said \"guys, I need you to take the day off. I need a break. If any of your girls are working in the afternoon, have them take the day off too.\" She also sent the kennel Receptionist/Trainer home. I thought she knew of the trainer's involvement in rehoming Valentino, but she must have had another reason for sending her home. We were called in the next day and fired. I was fired for my inability to agree with her euthanasia policy, my husband and children were fired for being related to me. Sue will not tolerate opposition. Years ago when Sue wanted to go non-profit, her biggest concern was that a board of directors would have the final say over how the shelter was to be run. Her way around this was to assemble a board of directors made up solely of family and life-long friends. In a nutshell, people that would never challenge her. We were her euthanasia opposition, we were fired. At a recent seminar in Vermont, Sue was quoted as saying her goal is to euthanize 75% of the dogs in the Northeast. I find this statement disturbing, to say the least. Recently I had a conversation with a friend and fellow trainer of Sue's about this comment. She said she felt the number was too low, if she had made the statement, she would have made it 85% of the dogs in the Norhteast. Apparently, this has been Sue's goal all along. She has nicknamed herself Hitler, and is basically having her own Doggy Holocuast, practicing \"genocide\" on all Northeastern dogs, right under all of our noses. Just remember, Sue has a goal, and I have never known her to change a goal, what she is doing is very dangerous for animals everywhere, especially in the Northeast. Dedicated Advocates for Animal Welfare, Ann, Karl, Jennifer, Christina, Dana Naumann We would like to dedicate this e-mail to all of the defenseless animals who were wrongly euthanized at Rondout Valley Kennels: Arlo, Rita, Butch, Bear, Joey, Bo, Regis, Bandit, Sasha, Pepper, Deegan, Lucky, Swan, Selma, Damien, Bessie, Domingo, Alfredo, Scotty, Sugar, Seymore, Chew-Baka, Rocky, Dominick, Goofy, Layla, Doobie, Rebel, Travis, Shamrock, Champ, Otto, Cisco, Zeus, Xi, Gracie, Bart, Emma, Butler, Jeeves, Calhoun, Betty, dozens of others never even brought to the kennel, and too many others to name (especially the 20 from this past February.)

        "raw_content": "Posted by Rohan Mohmand\nThe 'title' - it's been taken from the words of the great Robert Bresson, an iconoclastic artist and a philosopher. Bresson, a singular film-maker, once wrote, 'build your film on white, on silence, and on stillness,' expressing a philosophy that the action on screen shouldn't be for intentional purposes. That cinema is about less rather than more.\nBresson was referring to cinema in general. Though, cinema today - the west, especially, has drastically changed. To some for the better and to some for the worst. Cinema, in its truest form, has been stepped upon. Pure cinema that is, has been the hostage of the very inventions that man is behind. We have to ask ourselves, is technology being utilized in the right manner, which is to capture imagery, characters, the story, the conflict.\nMan, who is a student of art, is inspired by art. But man is also on the verge of its absolute destruction. Man is not aware any longer that the viewing of the picture on the canvas - the motion picture on the screen, should it be a product of gimmickry or education. Education to understand life. Education to end a conflict within the society that the man is a member of.\nThose who find themselves inspired by \"the cinema\" are on a quest to help reconstruct the cinema of awareness, information, education - cinema of soul, life and personality.\n\"It is in its pure form that an art hits hard.\"",

        "raw_content": "Author: Xebbie\nStory Title: Leather After Dark\nCharacters: Ares/Jett, Joxer & Meg\nSummary: Jett hears tell of the death of the Warrior Princess during the Twilight of the Gods, and takes the opportunity to bust out of jail. He relies on his brother to put him up until things die down, but Ares has had his own plans for Joxer and they didn't include a lookalike.\nThis rating is for explicit m/m sexual situations.\nExplicit male/male sexual situations.\nYou can also find Xebbie's stories at The GJerotica Archives and Xebbie's Adult Fics\nSend feedback to adobe_lan@yahoo.com\nLeather After Dark\nby Xebbie\n\u00a9 02/01 by Xebbie\nThe Warrior Princess was dead, or so he'd heard.\nNot that he was one to believe the idle gossip as it flooded through the prison halls, but this was a rumour that had lasted for weeks, as far as he could tell. It was hardly the first time tales of Xena's death had spread, but this time rather than tapering out and being replaced, they were growing. Her little blonde too, they said. Dead in a wagon fight. The Twilight was a hoax, the Gods were spared.\nSo she was dead. As time passed more details came in, and he listened, and he came to believe.\nThe only one who could truly make his life miserable if he were caught outside of this hellhole... was dead.\nThe assassin began to plan.\nThey made sure that he didn't have any utensils, of course - even a spoon could be deadly in his hands, and he knew it, and they knew it. When they fed him, it was boneless food only, no plates, no utensils... the bastards thought they were being clever, being safe.\nBut he'd been here so damn long... And he wanted out, and now that he could stay out if he made it...\nHe'd lost weight. It was only natural, since he had a meager diet; he hadn't even seen much of the sun for the past few years. It was natural, but the manacles they'd put him in didn't naturally follow his body's fluctuations, so in the end although it wasn't easy to slip his hands through them, it was possible. It hurt. It hurt a lot.\nBut pain wasn't a stranger in his life.... His father being how he was, his own profession being what it was, he'd made a study of it early on. Focus, grit teeth, push - and - through.\nSometimes pain reminded you that were alive.\n____****____\nThe guard on the night shift approached the assassin's cell, his grimy hands cupping a piece of hard bread and some wilting vegetables. He made his way to the door, shoved against the small metal trap that yielded against his hands and reached in to drop the food to the floor. Only then did he look into the cell; only then did he see the manacles lying empty on the floor, just at the edge of the shadows.\nThe whispered curse was all he had time for, as hands grabbed at him suddenly, one lunging and pulling his own hand full through the trap. A snapping and grinding filled his head as his arm broke, but the assassin didn't stop pulling; the other hand shot out, grabbed his keys from his belt, and pulled them back in. Another yank against the doorframe, and his shattered arm ground against the wood until the guard saw spots. The pain was dizzying - he wasn't sure if he was going to throw up, or pass out.\nAnother brutal yank, and it turned out it was the latter. The guard was released, and slid to the ground with a thud, while the assassin's hands held the trap open, fumbling for the lock with the keys -\nThe door swung open and shut again quickly. The assassin, his hair travelling down his back, his face half-hidden by an unkempt beard, ran lightening-quick hands over the guard's body in a weapons check. Coming up with a short-bladed knife and a large club, he tossed the club aside, swept the knife up in long, slender fingers, and ran before his absence was noticed.\nJoxer ordered another ale.\nHe shouldn't be here. He knew that. There was searching to be done. Gods, they were out there somewhere, he knew it in his heart... And he'd find them. He knew he would.\nJust... He was alone. And this was a journey that no man could stand on his own... At least not without a healthy amount of alcohol. Just for the time being.\nThe bartender accepted his money with neither smile nor frown, just a peculiar sort of bored expression, and Joxer took only one gulp before setting it back on the bar.\nThey were somewhere... waiting for him. He knew it.\nIt wasn't that he didn't think that Xena could save them. Xena could do anything. She'd proven that often enough. It wasn't that he thought she couldn't...\nIt was that he knew she hadn't. Just like when they were in Rome... the nightmares, and the certainty while he was awake - the heavy, pendulous certainty that he had to be there, they needed him somehow.\nHe shut his eyes, and saw them as they'd looked on the crosses, frozen and blue and hauntingly, miserably beautiful...\nHis mostly-full tankard of ale (the third one he'd bought) sat on the counter as he stalked off again, back to Argo who was waiting in the stables or something (she wandered out sometimes, particularly when he forgot to tie her up, which he often did... once, in something of a temper, she'd actually made her way into the tavern he was wallowing in and bit at his sleeves until he'd allowed himself to be dragged from the premises).\nA little wobbly, he found his way back to the stables where he'd put her up and pushed through the doors. Nearby, his reflection staggered with him... and boy, he needed a shave. And a haircut. And... something was really not right here.\nJoxer blinked, nearly losing his balance, as his reflection moved independently and completely outside of any looking glass. \"Jox.\"\n\"Jett!?\"\nIn an instant, a thin and extremely dirty hand had shot out and covered his mouth. \"Have you gotten even stupider?!\" he hissed, looking around.\nJoxer pulled away from his brother's grip, and shook his head. \"Sorry - sorry,\" he whispered, trying to get past his shock. \"I just - geez - I never thought I'd see you!\"\n\"I need a place to go,\" Jett rumbled insistently, the look in his eyes an urgent one. Joxer nodded in silent understanding, too grateful to be with a member of his family again to care that he was abetting a known felon. He dashed to Argo and grabbed a blanket from her saddlebags. She shied away, eyeing Jett angrily, and in an earlier time, Joxer would have been jumpy around her when she seemed this skittish. But now, each was all the other had, and both knew it, and he knew he was safe near her.\nJoxer flung the blanket at Jett, who looked at it disdainfully. \"What am I supposed to do with this - wear it like a toga?\"\n\"They're gonna be looking for you! Just - cover up with it until we can get you shaved and cleaned up and stuff. Then you can pretend to be me or something - lay low.\" He gathered a few more things together in Argo's saddlebags, and checked his dinar supply. Meg's wasn't too far off - it was the best chance Jett stood for a hideout right now. He could stay there, pretending to be Joxer, while Joxer himself looked around for a place for him to stay. If they were seen together, that was it for both their covers.\nHe untied Argo and turned back to his brother, who was sniffing the blanket he'd been given, a look of disgust on his face. \"This is filthy,\" he griped.\n\"Have you looked in a mirror lately?\" Joxer shot back, and led Argo towards him. \"C'mon. I can getcha a place for tonight, maybe tomorrow. You get on Argo - \"\nArgo refused, backing up so quickly and forcefully that Joxer, still holding her reins, was pulled off his feet. \"Okay. I'll ride Argo... You walk behind us and try to... blend in.\"\nJett looked displeased with the situation, but since Argo snorted and threatened to rear up when he came close to her, he accepted it.\nJoxer did have to admit, Jett had somehow managed to make that dirty old blanket look mysterious and intriguing. He'd ended up draping it in layers over himself, sort of as a poncho, with the top used in a hood fashion; the edges fell over his forehead, obscuring most of the upper half of his face. He looked anonymous, yes - but too anonymous, and Joxer was as nervous as Argo on the way back to Meg's place.\nThey'd made it there without incident, thank the Gods (which was, Joxer actually felt, a phrase he'd have to train himself to stop using), and after Joxer had taken Meg aside to briefly explain his situation and get her okay, Jett had gone into a back room to cut his hair and clean up. Joxer, who had been forced to acknowledge some time ago that planning things on his own had never been his strong suit, now found himself responsible for the plan to keep his brother out of Maramis and for finding his two best friends.\nMeg seemed slightly confused by the whole situation, but she accepted it, as long as Joxer asserted that everything would be okay. She stepped behind him and began massaging his shoulders. \"So - he's your identical twin brother, huh? He didn't look all that much like ya.\"\n\"Well, he hasn't had a bath in at least a year,\" Joxer answered absently. Part of him yearned to just stay here, where Meg and her girls were nice to him, and he had no responsibility other than paying for his room and any other services he required. But there was that awful certainty that they were waiting for him... He had to grow up. And it sucked. He sighed. \"I'm sorry about this, Meg. I really meant to get going and travel again.\"\n\"Hey, don't sweat it. Any family of yours is family of mine,\" Meg said cheerfully. \"'Sides, I can't wait to see what he looks like when he cleans up. Two Joxies... Yum.\" She grinned at him, looking so totally unlike Xena with that sort of expression on her face that he felt his heart lift a little. \"You sure you're not gonna stick around, though? We got your room all fixed up, still, and we can put together a new one for your brother...\" She stopped the massage and slid her arms around his shoulders. \"I worry 'bout'cha when you're gone, ya know.\"\nAll he could do to answer was give a stiff sort of nod. Did she have to ask that every time? He had to grow up now, and Joxer just wished Meg could understand that. She wasn't making it any easier.\n\"Yeah, I'm gonna go,\" he said, hoping he sounded firm enough in his decision that she wouldn't press the matter. \"We really can't be seen together. I think, if he can pass for me for a little while, and I can go out and find him a place to stay or something... then everything can get back to normal for a while.\" The unspoken \"as normal as possible\" hung in the air, and Meg heard it even though Joxer refrained from saying it.\n\"Well, okay,\" she said uncertainly. \"We'll make your brother feel at home, then, huh?\"\nHe winced. \"Uh - no - it'd probably be better not to make him the centre of attention or anything. Jett's kinda... a loner. Besides, if he has to pass for me it's kinda better not to make him pretend to be me too often.\"\n\"What? He's not good at it? I thought you guys were twins.\"\n\"He...\" Joxer trailed off. Jett could play him, sure - in fact he enjoyed playing him. Unfortunately the version of Joxer that he played was usually a caricature of the real man, and Jett managed it by doing as many stupid things as possible. It was the thought that Jett would be convincing by purposely acting like an idiot that Joxer found rather disconcerting. \"He can... just... he probably needs a chance to rest, really. That sorta thing.\"\n\"Ohhh. No prob. I won't even tell the others that he - or you - are here, unless they find out themselves.\"\nHe grinned. \"Thanks, Meg. I knew I could trust you.\"\nThe door to the other room opened then, and Jett walked out, washed, shaven, and trimmed. His wet hair had been slicked back in the usual way, and other than the fact that his frame was about 20 pounds lighter, he looked like his old self again. His old self clad in rags, but the face was the important thing. He jumped when he saw Meg, then recovered. \"It's going to take me a while to get used to that,\" he mumbled.\nMeg was staring. \"Ditto,\" she said, without taking her eyes off of him. \"You weren't kiddin', Joxie.\"\nJoxer nodded. \"Toldja. Okay, Jett - it's settled, and you can stay here for a couple of days. Meg's a good friend, she won't tell anybody here, and she'll cover for you if people come by.\"\n\"Walking alibi, that's me,\" Meg grinned, but Jett ignored her.\n\"You don't have to cover for me,\" he said, in the growling voice that made it impossible for Joxer to tell whether Jett was genuinely pissed off or just keeping up his image of intimidation. \"I can leave now. I've spent most of my life on the run, bro, and I don't need -\"\n\"Look, Jett, as a favour, huh?\" Joxer interrupted him. \"I just - I want to know where you are. I don't want you to drop out of sight for five years, with me not even knowing if you're dead or alive. Let me just do this for you, okay - find you some place where you can set up camp for a while, hang out until they're less focused on you - and I'll just feel a hell of a lot better.\"\nJett looked at his brother, the face he'd seen in the mirror just a few minutes back when he'd finished shaving, and noticed the lines that had developed there. Joxer wasn't supposed to have those lines. Jett had them, because he'd spent the past four years in maximum security prison and had hated every minute of it. Joxer, though, Joxer was the easy-going one between the two of them (Jace, of course, being an entirely different story). He thought about what Joxer had said the last time they'd met up - about having met Xena and it having changed his life. He thought also of how Joxer had looked whenever Xena's blonde had even looked in his direction. Man, he'd really hero-worshipped those two. He even had a girlfriend now who looked exactly like the Warrior Princess.\nBut the thing was that Joxer really had changed. He'd gotten him all the way here; he was thinking on his feet for once. It was weird. From the look of things, Xena and Gabrielle had really had a positive effect on him. And then the lines made sense. Joxer had been forced into real life, and pain, and it was as much a prison for him as Maramis had been for Jett.\nHe sighed. His time being cooped up was practically at an end - what was a couple days more, if it would put his brother's mind a bit at ease? \"Okay, bro. You do the footwork, I'll lay low here for a while. Okay? But don't think this means I'm in the habit of letting you think for me. I may have been in prison for a while, but I'm not stupid.\"\nJoxer grinned, looking more the way Jett remembered him. \"Thanks. Anyway, if you need anything, just ask Meg. She'll take care of you.\"\n\"Sure,\" Meg said, less flirtatiously than she had before. Jett looked her up and down, more objectively now. It had, of course, been years since he'd been with a woman, and he briefly considered her before deciding that Joxer probably wouldn't like the way it would turn out with his girlfriend. Meg, as if sensing these thoughts, drew back from him a little uneasily. \"Uh... I'll take ya upstairs to Joxer's room,\" she offered, and Jett nodded curtly.\nJoxer joined her as she led the way, and said to Jett, \"I keep a few of my things here, too, so you can just wear what's in the closet.\"\nGreat, thought his brother, the height of Dork Fashion. Oh well - he did appreciate what Joxer was doing for him, not that he'd necessarily tell him so, but he wouldn't really complain, either.\nWhen he was looking over his new quarters - Just another word for 'cell', he thought - Joxer cleared his throat. \"Okay - I'm gonna set out. Don't do anything stupid, huh?\"\n\"Just shut up, bro, before I point out how you're not one to talk.\"\nJoxer looked sheepish, frustrated, and at the same time oddly pleased to be back to receiving this sort of abuse. Without warning, he threw his arms around Jett and hugged him. Jett took it, a little uncomfortable, and finally gave a mental shrug and slung an arm around his little brother's shoulders in return.\nWiping his eyes, Joxer let him go. \"Okay - see ya soon.\"\n\"Right.\" He was embarrassed now - shows of emotion always embarrassed him. He wished Joxer had just let him noogie him for old time's sake or something.\nAs Joxer left the room, he considered telling him that he appreciated all this. He considered thanking him for looking out for him. And just for a moment, he strongly considered telling him that he was proud of him - that he'd actually made good. But, he didn't, because he was Jett; and Joxer led Meg out, and shut the door, and was gone.\nAs Meg walked him outside, through the back door, she commented, \"He's not like you. Somethin' about him creeps me out.\"\n\"He's a little... intense,\" Joxer hedged, nodding in sympathetic agreement and hoping that she wouldn't ask why he'd been in prison for so long. He'd neglected to mention that Jett had been at Maramis; Meg would be more at ease if she didn't know that she was secretly housing the most highly-efficient killer in Greece.\n\"Guess that's natural, when you've been away from people for so long,\" she added. \"Kay - gimme a kiss, and hurry back.\"\nHe smiled and obliged, again fighting the urge to just run from it all, stay here with her, and let her take care of everything from now on. He'd always wanted to be needed; now, everyone needed him at once, and he'd live up to their needs or die trying. \"Take care, Meg,\" he said, squeezing her warmly, and departed for Argo.\nShe watched him go. \"If you get killed, I'll never forgive ya!\" she called after him.\nI know the feeling, he thought as he rode away.\nJett stripped, and tossed the rags he'd been wearing into a pile in the corner. He'd been itching to do that all day, but of course wandering around without clothing would get him arrested again twice as fast. The first chance he got, he vowed, he would burn those hideous things.\nThe sun was just setting. He stretched on the bed, nude, and exhaustion overcame him suddenly. With a decision that he would spend the next day and a half (at least) asleep, he crawled underneath the bedspread and fell asleep within five seconds.\nIt was dark when he awoke again, and for a moment he had a claustrophobic feeling that had always been associated with Maramis. He lay totally still, afraid that his escape had been a dream; but it smelled wrong for Maramis, it smelled much more open, much more alive, so he relaxed.\nWhat day is it? How long was I asleep? he wondered, listening to the stillness, to his breathing. There were a few squeals and bumps coming from down the hall, but compared to the constant thumping of the guards and the wails of the prisoners it was golden, amazingly quiet. He wondered what had woken him up.\nA strangeness in the feel of the room settled over him. It felt ... tight... Unnaturally ready, with a tinge of menace. Jett associated it with the feeling he had shortly before he made a hit on someone; there was a dark sort of danger here, hiding beneath layers of night and shadows.\nAnd for some reason, there was also a powerful eroticism about it. He remembered again just how long it had been since he'd known any physical pleasure, and felt a warmth in his stomach. The thin sheet lying over his hips hung loosely upon him, and as his skin became more sensitized, the feeling of the linens began to add to his arousal.\nHe knew, somehow for certain, that there was something waiting for him to speak - waiting for him to ask who was there. He was clearly supposed to be able to feel the presence that was waiting just out of sight, though whether there was supposed to be this sexual effect on him, he couldn't tell. Either way, he refused to give it the satisfaction of giving in to fear, or frustration or whatever it expected him to be feeling. Jett was good at waiting - it came with the job. He lay in bed, taut and ready, watching the shadows.\nFinally, at last, the God who had been hiding came out in a show of mystical light and shimmers.\nJett's breath did catch for a moment - despite his family's loyalty to Ares, he'd never expected to actually be looking the God of War in the face. Ares gave him a cool look, cocking his head back and staring down at the lanky man in the bed, and pulled his lip up into a sneer.\nWithout the first clue why Ares would be here for him - it couldn't be to take him back to jail, could it? - Jett didn't allow any reaction to cross his face, not even the appreciative look he was tempted to give. He stared back, looking guarded, and again he managed to wait Ares out.\nThe God spoke. \"I'm not going to beat around the bush, Joxer,\" he rumbled quietly.\nJett felt a stab of disappointment. He was here for Joxer? ...For Joxer?! Wow - the dork really had made good in his life, if Ares was coming to see him personally. And from the way he addressed him, it wasn't the first time they'd met, either. Curiosity got the better of him, and he remained silent, raising his eyebrows in an unspoken question.\n\"I know she's supposed to be dead. You and I saw them all die - Xena, Gabrielle, and the baby. But none of us ever thought to check on the kid.\" He took a step forward, and moonlight spread shadows over his arms, outlining each muscle as they pulled and relaxed. \"I'm not going to hurt her, Joxer,\" he murmured, holding out his hands in front of him as if to show how peaceful his intentions were. \"She should have been my child. I would never harm one of my children, or one of hers.\"\nHers - as in, Xena's? The brat that was supposed to bring about the Twilight of the Gods? Yeah, sure. Not even Joxer would be stupid enough to believe that Ares would take a protective interest in her. Of course, the point was moot, since Jett didn't even know the brat's name, let alone if she was alive or not. He decided to see how this would play out, so he put on one of his Confused Joxer faces. \"I dunno....\" he said carefully. It had been a while since he'd done his Joxer voice - hell, before today he'd barely spoken at all for a few years - but Ares looked convinced.\n\"I need you, Joxer,\" he said, and Jett couldn't repress a shiver at the words, \"I need you as my ally. Help me find her, and I'll raise her as my own - in Xena's memory, and Gabrielle's - and I'll make you one of my highest-ranking warriors.\" He knelt at the bedside, his face level with Jett's. \"I can be a very powerful ally, Joxer,\" he breathed.\nJett never trembled, though if he'd been any other man he would be trembling now. His arousal was hidden only by a sheet, and the fact that the God could no doubt plainly see his state through the thin cloth only added to his excitement. \"Show me,\" he growled, not bothering to do the Joxer voice.\nAres smirked. \"You're a man who knows what he likes,\" he said, his hand snaking slowly down the bedspread and settling at Jett's knee. \"I like that,\" he purred, as his hand began to slide up the other man's thigh, slowly, swirling the sheet as he went. The intermittent pull of the linens against Jett's throbbing organ made his head swim.\nThe God's mouth met his own, roughly insistent, and Jett's lips parted of their own volition in order to taste the skin and tongue of his partner. Ares matched the fierce, quick pace of the kiss, gripping Jett's head with his free hand and suckling with a will at the slender man's mouth. His hand continued its climb along the assassin's leg, slipping from top to side, finally claiming Jett's already rock-hard member as though it had been his own right all along.\nJett moaned against Ares's mouth, and bit his lover's lower lip as the God's hand encircled his shaft and massaged, teasingly slow, then faster, harder; he was left gasping when Ares pulled away, looking beautiful and superior, and trailed maddeningly soft kisses down his chest. The linen slid away, quickly replaced by hands, then mouth.\nAres' tongue trailed, warm and wet and soft, in circles around the tip of his shaft, then down, towards the base, and he was alternately engulfed and suckled, massaged and licked - the mortal was left grabbing handfuls of the mattress beneath him as he writhed and watched, watched himself disappearing into the mouth of the God of War, watched the moonlight catch and shine on the deity's arms, on his leather-clad back.\nHe threw his head back as Ares started a pressure on his organ, started to really suck it, and couldn't restrain himself from grabbing the God's head and pulling down, forcing him to deep-throat it. And that did it; he bucked his hips, arching, sliding as deeply down Ares's throat as he could go, and he came, with a surge of self-fulfillment at his situation.\nAres released him, then slid snake-like up the bed to lie next to him, regarding him with a cool, self-confident leer. \"Good, I take it.\"\n\"Holy shit,\" Jett panted, and left it at that.\n\"There's more where that came from, Joxer, if you just give me a helping hand from time to time.\" He cocked an eyebrow. \"So to speak.\"\nJett had spent a lifetime managing to keep his emotions in check. He didn't even get angry if the time wasn't right. Still, maybe it was the absurdity of the situation, the fact that he'd just broken out after years in near-solitary confinement, the fact that he'd just been given a complimentary blow job by the God of War... who knew - Whatever the case, he couldn't keep himself from bursting out laughing.\nThe expression on Ares's face changed subtly, from utterly self-assured smirk to tense-and-slightly-disgusted sneer. \"I'm glad you found that funny,\" he said, a warning in his tone.\nRecovering, Jett snorted. \"Hah.. There... There's only one thing I can tell you, Ares.\"\n\"And that would be...?\"\n\"You got the wrong guy,\" Jett said, chuckling again, and he only laughed louder when Ares's eyes widened and the God jumped up from the bed.\nPointing a glowing fist at him, Ares snarled, \"Dare to say that again.\"\n\"Wrong ... guy,\" Jett panted, wiping his eye and hoping that this loss of control wasn't going to become habitual with him. \"You of all people ought to know that we're triplets.\"\nAres's fist didn't waver, but his expression changed yet again - twice, in fact, first to shock and then to realization. \"You're Jett. You bastard, you're Jett, aren't you?!\"\nThere was no more laughter, only a cool stare and a brief nod. \"And I have to thank you, 'cause this was one hell of a way to celebrate a first night out of prison.\"\n\"You BASTARD!!\" Ares roared, pulling his fist back with the obvious intent of sending something flying, then stopped himself. \"I should crush you, but I'll give you one chance. Got it? One.\" He glared at the assassin poisonously, and snarled, \"Tell me where Joxer is, and I'll let you live.\"\nJett shrugged. \"Can't. I don't know. But...\"\nThe cliffhanger sentence caught Ares. \"But what. Don't play games with me, you little worm, or I'll snap you in two.\"\n\"But... keep in mind that, when I was growing up, any girl who went for Jox was considered pretty pathetic. Nobody ever admitted to so much as giving him a greeting on the street.\"\n\"What does that have to do with this,\" Ares growled.\nJett shrugged. \"I don't know. I just thought it might be about the same in Olympus, is all. Enough so that if Hades heard why I was fried in my bedroom by you, you might find it a little tough to cover for your rep.\"\nFrom the look on his face, Ares was just barely fighting down the urge to barbeque him anyway. Finally he managed, \"All right then. Your life for your silence. But,\" some of his composure returned, and he drew himself up and managed to look about twice as tall and muscular as usual, \"your killing career is over. And the moment you tell anyone about this, there are gonna be about 500 armies on your tail.\"\nJett shrugged. \"Hey, I'm not the one going around giving free head, but whatever you want.\"\nAres was shaking as he flashed out. That image was going to stay with Jett for quite some time, he could tell. He settled back in the bed, pulling the linen back up over his hips, and allowed himself a grin that was a mile wide. Hell of a way to celebrate, that was for damned sure.",

        "raw_content": "Biography of Mike Tyson\nMike Tyson \u2013 American Former Professional Boxer\nFull name: Michael Gerard Tyson\nNickname(s): Iron, Kid Dynamite, The Baddest Man on the Planet\nRated at: Heavyweight\nReach: 71 in (180 cm)\nPlace of birth: Brooklyn, New York City, New York, U.S.\nFather: Jimmy Kirkpatrick\nMother: Lorna Smith Tyson\nSiblings: Rodney, Denise\nSpouse: Lakiha Spicer (m. 2009), Monica Turner (m. 1997\u20132003), Robin Givens (m. 1988\u20131989)\nChildren: Exodus Tyson, Amir Tyson, Morocco Tyson, Rayna Tyson, Milan Tyson, Miguel Leon Tyson, Mikey Lorna Tyson, D\u2019Amato Tyson\nMike Tyson, in full Michael Gerald Tyson, byname Iron Mike was born on June 30, 1966, in Brooklyn, New York, U.S. He is an former American boxer who, at age 20, became the youngest heavyweight champion in history. He won the WBC title in 1986 after stopping Trevor Berbick in two rounds. In 1987, Tyson added the WBA and IBF titles after defeating James Smith and Tony Tucker. This made him the first heavyweight boxer to simultaneously hold the WBA, WBC, and IBF titles, and the only heavyweight to successively unify them.\nStanding tall at 5ft 10 inches, weighing 200 pounds and more is a heavy muscled prodigious puncher Mike Tyson. Christened as Michael Gerard \u2018Mike\u2019 Tyson, ever since his early days, Tyson showed signs of moving in to the world of boxing. His violent streak as a child, uncanny behaviour and a resolve for violence to have his way through situations and people laid the strong foundation for him to opt for boxing, not to forget his ginormous weight of 200 pounds at 13 years of age. Popularly known for his terrorising power and intimidating temperament, Tyson quickly climbed up the ladder of success under the strong guidance of Cus D\u2019Amato and Rooney to earn the nicknames \u2018Iron Mike\u2019 and \u2018the baddest man on planet\u2019. He was popular for defeating his opponents with a single blow. Tyson dominant performance at the sports saw him reach the pinnacle of success, by becoming the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. But just as quickly did Tyson climb the ladder of success, he went into the pitfall with the same speed, courtesy his tarnished childhood, poverty-stricken upbringing, poor judgement and criminal behaviour. As such, when he was enjoying raving success and was at the peak of his power, Tyson suffered from serious blows due to his bizarre behaviour, rape conviction, financial loss, bankruptcy and imprisonment. His biting off the ear of opponent Evander Holyfield was the zenith as the world wrote him off as a damaged animal incapable of existing outside the ring. Though Tyson has tried to make amendments thereafter, his image has been destroyed for good, making him one of the most tragic figures of the American sports history.\nChildhood, Family and Educational Life\nMichael Gerard Tyson was born on June 30, 1966, in Brooklyn, New York, to parents Jimmy Kirkpatrick and Lorna Tyson. When Michael was two years old his father abandoned the family, leaving Lorna to care for Michael and his two siblings, Rodney and Denise. Struggling financially, the Tyson family moved to Brownsville, Brooklyn, a neighborhood known for its high crime.\nSmall and shy, Tyson was often the target of bullying. To combat this, he began developing his own style of street fighting, which ultimately transitioned into criminal activity. His gang, known as the Jolly Stompers, assigned him to clean out cash registers while older members held victims at gunpoint. He was only 11 years old at the time. He frequently ran into trouble with police over his petty criminal activities, and by the age of 13, he had been arrested more than 30 times.\nYoung Tyson completed his schooling from Tryon School for Boys in Johnstown, New York. It was there that Bobby Stewart, a juvenile detention center counselor and former boxer, noticed Tyson\u2019s boxing skills. He honed them a little before introducing the destined-to-be champion to Cus D\u2019Amato.\nUnder Amato\u2019s guidance, Tyson trained for the sport. He was under the full-time custody of Amato who set a rigorous training schedule for the aspiring boxer. Tyson attended Catskill High School by the day and practiced in the ring by the evening. However, he did not graduate from the school and left his studies as a junior.\nMike Tyson has been married thrice and has fathered eight children. His first marriage was to actress Robin Givens. The union did not last more than a year (from February 7, 1988 to February 14, 1989) as the two separated following allegations of violence, spousal abuse and mental instability by Givens on Tyson. The couple had no children.\nTyson then went into the wedlock with Monica Turner. The marriage lasted for five years (from April 19, 1997 to January 14, 2003) after which Turner pursued divorce on grounds of adultery. The couple had two children, Rayna and Amir.\nIn 2009, in an unfortunate accident, Tyson lost his daughter Exodus after the latter was found unconscious and tangled in a cord, dangling from an exercise treadmill. She was on life support and declared dead the following day.\nTyson walked up to the altar the third time on June 6, 2009 with Lakiha \u2018Kiki\u2019 Spicer. The couple has been blessed with a daughter Milan and son Morocco. Tyson\u2019s other children include Mikey, Miguel and D\u2019Amato (born 1990). He has a total of eight children including the deceased Exodus. He has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. He follows a vegan diet and sober lifestyle.\nTyson\u2019s training was very well evident in his performance at the Junior Olympic Games in 1981 and 1982, where he won gold medals by convincingly, beating opponents Joe Cortez and Kelton Brown, respectively. He fought against the eventual 1984 Summer Olympics heavyweight gold medallist Henry Tillman twice in the trials, losing on both occasions. Failing to make it to the Olympics team, Tyson turned professional.\nTyson made his professional debut as an 18-year-old on March 6, 1985, in Albany, New York. He defeated Hector Mercedes via a first round knockout. He had 15 bouts in his first year as a professional. Fighting frequently, Tyson won 26 of his first 28 fights by KO or TKO; 16 of those came in the first round. The quality of his opponents gradually increased to journeyman fighters and borderline contenders, like James Tillis, David Jaco, Jesse Ferguson, Mitch Green and Marvis Frazier. His win streak attracted media attention and Tyson was billed as the next great heavyweight champion. D\u2019Amato died in November 1985, relatively early into Tyson\u2019s professional career, and some speculate that his death was the catalyst to many of the troubles Tyson was to experience as his life and career progressed.\nBy 1986, at the age of 20, Tyson had garnered a 22-0 record\u201421 of the fights won by knockout. On November 22, 1986, Tyson finally reached his goal: He was given his first title fight against Trevor Berbick for the World Boxing Council heavyweight championship. Tyson won the title by a knockout in the second round. At the age of 20 years and four months, he beat Patterson\u2019s record, becoming the youngest heavyweight champion in history.\nTyson\u2019s success in the ring didn\u2019t stop there. He defended his title against James Smith on March 7, 1987, adding the World Boxing Association championship to his list of victories. On August 1 he became the first heavyweight to own all three major boxing belts when he won the International Boxing Federation title from Tony Tucker.\nTyson had three fights in 1988. He faced Larry Holmes on January 22, 1988, and defeated the legendary former champion by a fourth round KO. This was the only knockout loss Holmes suffered in 75 professional bouts. In March, Tyson then fought contender Tony Tubbs in Tokyo, Japan, fitting in an easy two-round victory amid promotional and marketing work.\nOn June 27, 1988, Tyson faced Michael Spinks. Spinks, who had taken the heavyweight championship from Larry Holmes via a 15-round decision in 1985, had not lost his title in the ring but was not recognized as champion by the major boxing organizations.\nIn late 1988, Tyson parted with manager Bill Cayton and fired longtime trainer Kevin Rooney, the man many credit for honing Tyson\u2019s craft after the death of D\u2019Amato. Following Rooney\u2019s departure, critics alleged that Tyson began to use the Peek-a-Boo style sporadically. Tyson insisted he hadn\u2019t altered the style that made him a world champion. In 1989, Tyson had only two fights amid personal turmoil. He faced the popular British boxer Frank Bruno in February. Bruno managed to stun Tyson at the end of the 1st round, although Tyson went on to knock out Bruno in the fifth round. Tyson then knocked out Carl \u201cThe Truth\u201d Williams in one round in July.\nThe crack in the armour was prevalent in the 1990 fight against Buster Douglas. Despite being the betting favourite and experts\u2019 choice, Tyson failed to match up to Douglas, who landed a flurry of blows on Tyson to lay him out of the canvas in the tenth round. This was the first time Tyson faced such a defeat. He did not just lose the match but lost the undisputed championship as well. The result of the match sent a wave of shock to the sports fraternity across the globe. The ferocious fighter, the brutal puncher and the undefeatable champion had lost his charm and his defeat meant the end of an era.\nIn 1991, just when his professional life seemed to get back on track, Tyson was arrested for raping Desiree Washington, Miss Black Rhode Island.\nIn 1992, he was convicted on the rape charge was sentenced to six years in prison followed by four years on probation.\nWhile serving his sentence, Tyson went into intense reflection and converted into Islam, receiving the name Malik Abdul Aziz. Reading philosophical books cast an influential role in the mind of Tyson who resolved to lead a disciplined life.\nHe was released in March 1995 after serving three years.However, upon returning from the jail, his alliance with Don King disrupted his theory of leading a disciplined life as he resolved to bizarre behaviour.\nAfter his personal and professional setbacks, Tyson seemed to be making a positive change in his life. After several successful fights, Tyson came head-to-head with his next big challenger: Evander Holyfield. Holyfield had been promised a title shot against Tyson in 1990, but before that fight could occur Douglas defeated Tyson. Instead of fighting Tyson, Holyfield fought Douglas for the heavyweight title. Douglas lost by knockout on October 25, 1990, making Holyfield the new undefeated, undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.\nOn November 9, 1996, Tyson faced Holyfield for the heavyweight title. The evening would not end successfully for Tyson, who lost to Holyfield by a knockout in the 11th round. Instead of Tyson\u2019s anticipated victory, Holyfield made history by becoming the second person to win a heavyweight championship belt three times. Tyson claimed he was the victim of multiple illegal head butts by Holyfield, and vowed to avenge his loss.\nTyson trained heavily for a rematch with Holyfield, and on June 28, 1997, the two boxers faced off yet again. The fight was televised on pay-per-view and entered nearly 2 million households, setting a record at the time for the highest number of paid television viewers. Both boxers also received record purses for the match, making them the highest-paid professional boxers in history until 2007.\nOn July 9, 1997, the Nevada State Athletic Commission revoked Tyson\u2019s boxing license in a unanimous voice vote, and fined the boxer $3 million for biting Holyfield. No longer able to fight, Tyson was aimless and unmoored. Several months later, Tyson was dealt another blow when he was ordered to pay boxer Mitch Green $45,000 for his 1988 street-fighting incident. Shortly after the court ruling, Tyson landed in the hospital after his motorcycle skidded out of control on a ride through Connecticut. The former boxer broke a rib and punctured a lung.\nHis next highly publicized fight would be in 2002 with WBC, IBF and IBO champion Lennox Lewis. Tyson was once again fighting for the heavyweight championship, and the match was a very personal one. Tyson made several remarks to Lewis before the fight, including a threat to \u201ceat his children.\u201d At a January press conference, the two boxers began a brawl that threatened to cancel the match, but the fight was eventually scheduled for June of that year.

The banks also help to provide a safe haven for the rich middle and upper class to set aside their surplus funds. The financial institutions play a vibrant role to secure loans for businesses so that they can expand their capacity and increase gross domestic products of the country.

Factors such as organizational structure, level of technology incorporated etc. affects the flow of communication.\nCommunication flow can be top down, bottom up or two ways. In Dhaka Bank questioned mostly a formal chain is maintained, irrespective of the direction of communication. In banks a greater sense of control is required, thus the requirement of a formal chain is obvious.\nDhaka Bank has incorporated technology to speed up the communication process. Intranet is one form through which information is exchanged instantaneously. Intranet is actively used for bottom up communication in most of the banks. In most formalized banks circulars are dispatched to send information to the lower tier employees. Some respondents used the annual business review meetings and social meetings as the way to communicate from bottom to top. Circulars are the most widely used top to bottom communication method.\nCommunication is extremely important in two aspects: decision making in branch expansion and decision making in lunching of a new product.\nCommunication Flow in Launching a Product\nBefore understanding the communication flow regarding the decision making process Dhaka Bank follows a reactive strategy in terms of designing and launching a new product. They try to track the movement of competitors\u2019 portfolio and adopt thereby. When they are copying an existing product of the market, they try to modernize it according to their resources. Dhaka Bank do not have R&D department or a product designing department and they try to design new products measuring the market needs. For Dhaka Bank, products are brought in to the market with Management Committee or Managing Director or Board of Directors\u2019 approval and without pre-testing it. Dhaka Bank is strongly dependent on IT resources, and they try to include IT department in terms of developing a product. For very few, this entire process is a Top-Down approach. That is, Management Committee or even Board of Directors brings in the concept of launching a new product. One important point to be noted is that irrespective of the approach, a feasibility test is carried out before launching a product.\nCommunication in Branch Expansion Decision\nSome banks have annual expansion plan whereas for others, expansion is completely need based. Banks having annual expansion plan, go for research and business monitoring of any geographic area of interest and then propose the management committee for the expansion. With the further approval of Board of Directors\u2019, they approach Bangladesh Bank for License. For banks believing in Need Based Expansion, the R&D or General Services wing tries to track the need and business of all the regions having no presence of their own. Out of which, some lucrative places are selected and the expansion proposal is sent to the management committee for approval in the aforesaid sequence. There are few exceptions as well. There are PCBs who deploy HR team to plan for expansion. However, for almost half of the PCBs, expansion is NOT a part of its Strategic Planning.\nStrategic Management Models\nProduct-Market (Ansoff) Matrix\nMarket Present New\nPresent Market Penetration:\nCorporate Banking Product Development:\nSME and Agriculture\nNew Market Development:\nRetail Banking Diversification:\nBonds and Derivatives\nTable 1: Product-Market (Ansoff Matrix) (Source: Adopted from \u201cStrategies for Diversification\u201d by Igor Ansoff)\nThe Ansoff growth matrix depicts the alternative growth strategies that a firm can exercise by leveraging its present and potential products and markets. Market penetration involves increasing market share in present markets using existing products. This is the least risky since the firm\u2019s existing resources and capabilities are generally sufficient. In market development, the bank will try to grow by selling existing services in new markets. Despite the proliferation of retail banking products, consumers\u2019 awareness is very low. Therefore consumer awareness has to be cultivated to develop the market.\nThe development of new markets for the product may be a good strategy if the firm\u2019s core competencies are product-specific rather than in a specific market segment. However, the firm\u2019s strengths may be its ability to operate in a particular market segment rather than a specific product. In this situation, it can engage in product development which is the launch of new products targeted to existing customers. A diversification growth strategy is adopted by firms launching new products in new markets and willing to undertake the high risk involved. A bond market is in the development stages and bond trading and underwriting have the potential to be a lucrative source of revenue.\nCustomized Porter\u2019s Diamond for Dhaka Bank\nThe porter\u2019s diamond tries to identify the variables that can Impact the position of the banking industry and contributes to its competitiveness. The model identifies four major dynamic segments namely: Central bank, firm\u2019s strategy, depositors-borrowers and factor conditions. The depositors and borrowers are the lifeblood of the whole industry and they contribute to the dynamism of the overall model. The depositors and borrowers are affected by consumer and business confidence. The level of optimism in the economy influences the level of savings, while consumer confidence triggers higher loans for credit purposes or expansion of existing production facilities. The socio-cultural aspects may encourage or deter borrowing or savings. This includes the religious sentiments associated with receiving or paying interest as a return for lending or borrowing money.\nThe central bank plays a major role in the whole model. The vigilance and proactiveness of the apex body defines the extent of discipline that can be attained in the sector as a whole. The Bangladesh bank usually provides a free hand to the commercial banks although their activities are bound by well defined guidelines issued by the central bank. The central bank has the authority and ability to influence other economic variables of the economy through the commercial banks. This is signified by their interconnection with all the other major factors as seen in the model.\nThe factor conditions are defined as those variables that can influence the overall functionality of the whole sector. The factors include condition of the capital market, overall economic and political atmosphere and level of foreign savings and investment. The stock market is a crucial indicator for the economic well being of the economy. A bullish stock market can help to add vigor to the consumer and business optimism. Banks can also cash in by making wise and sound investment in the market. A stock market downturn may dent business and consumer confidence leading to negative repercussions to the sector as whole. Sound economic outlook will usually lead to flurry of investment resulting in rise in the level of loans taken out by business and consumers. Higher spending in the economy will have multiplier effects contributing to higher growth in the economy.\nThe banking industry is directly impacted by the call money market which it uses to retrieve loan on a short term basis. However, the call money market is monitored by the central bank which ensures prevalence of market discipline.\nCustomized Porter\u2019s Five Forces Dhaka Bank\nThe Porter\u2019s five forces model can be customized to explain the reality in the banking industry in Bangladesh. The five forces shaping and reshaping the industry are namely: central bank, Depositors, borrowers, substitute capital market sources and potential entrants as shown in the diagram above. The depositors and the borrowers are two main components of the model. Their importance lies in the fact that they provide the necessary dynamics in the banking flow. The deposits kept by small and medium savers are used to disburse off loans to borrowers which include business, government or consumers. The depositors have minimal power because they are not unified, therefore cannot dictate interest rates for their deposits. Borrowers have gained some power over the years, mainly due to increased competition in the industry as a whole. Borrowers taking out larger loans have more power than smaller ones because they enjoy the benefit of bulk.\nThere are several substitutes of the banking industry for both depositors and borrowers which include capital market, non-bank financial institutions (NBFI), and public commercial banks. Higher return on these options will encourage depositors to move. Borrowers can also shift to these options if these turn out to be viable in terms of cost.\nThe central bank plays a passive role in the operation of banking industry although they have the capacity to exert significant influence on all the stakeholders. They have great influence in deciding whether new banks will be given license to operate in the market. New entrants may pose as a big threat for incumbents but for the last seven years Bangladesh bank hasn\u2019t issued a single license.\nThe relative powers of the five stakeholders define the way the banking industry will behave. The balance of power among stakeholders is of paramount importance to ensure effective functioning of the banking industry.\nOpportunities of and Threats to Dhaka Bank\nConsolidation: There is awareness that there are too many banks relative to the local market size. Therefore acquisitions by established second-generation banks and mergers between third generation banks may benefit the overall industry.\nShariah compliant products: Our research indicates that there is awareness that Islamic banking is a thriving area of finance. With multinationals like HSBC and Standard Chartered launching sharia compliant financial products, local PCBs have much to gain from considering this opportunity.\nHuman Resources: Many of the second and third generation banks place a great deal of emphasis on training employees. This is a very positive development for the industry\u2019s future. It is likely to foster efficiency and innovation among these banks and establish them as industry leaders in the future. PCBs have not been affected by the global financial crisis and the downturn represents an opportunity to draw talent away from adversely affected multinational banks.\nLack of Awareness: The lack of awareness and practice of strategic management reduces the private commercial banks\u2019 ability to compete with the multinational banks. The local PCBs are catching up to multinational firms regarding services and technology but the lack of focus on relationship management and strengthening their brand equity is detrimental to their competitiveness.\nLack of innovation: Local PCBs are mostly reactive rather than proactive regarding product design. They rarely take the initiative to determine customer needs and forecast changes in the environment. Although BRAC Bank is a third generation bank it has surpassed many first and second generation banks in consumer banking and is perceived as an industry leader by many. For many of the local PCBs, product design merely involves copying the attractive features of a popular product launched by a competitor.\nExpansion: Some banks judge their success on the rate of expansion. It can take as much as a year to recover the fixed costs of a new branch opening. Some locations turn out to be unprofitable due to the high concentration of existing banks in the area. PCBs need to be careful to avoid rapid expansion that reduces shareholder value.\nEthics: Some respondents raised concerns that the severe competition in the industry results in ethical infractions. Banks are less upfront with customers about fees and charges and key product features are buried in the fine print.\nTechnology: Most banks have identified depositors as their most important stakeholder. However some PCBs have been slow to adopt technology thereby alienating young, tech-savvy depositors. Banks which are focused on older customers and are not taking any steps to gain the loyalty of customers through product innovation and customer-friendly solutions are limiting their long term growth.\nCentralized decision-making process: In many PCBs, the decision to make large loans ultimately rests with the Board. Banks which fail to curb the issuance of non-performing loans at the behest of special-interest groups will find it difficult to survive in the increasing tough regulatory and competitive environment.\nSuggested Strategic Management Procedure for Dhaka Bank\nThe first step for a bank embarking on the strategic management process is stating the mission and vision. To achieve the vision, the bank must analyze the environment and take stock of available resources and determine future resource requirements and constraints. This would lead the bank to recognize its core competencies. The core competencies of the bank would have to be aligned with the bank\u2019s mission and vision statements as well as resource requirements, availabilities and constraints.\nThen, the bank would define the strategically important activities based on its core competencies and then focus on successfully performing these activities. In the process, the firm will be able to identify the critical success factors that are essential to thriving in the industry and achieving its business objective.\nThen the bank would undertake a strategic planning process. This involves anticipating different possible scenarios and the possible outcomes in each case. This would provide the bank with a framework to plan around. Then the bank would formulate the overall strategic direction for itself: prospector, analyzer, defender and reactor. The role that the bank would choose for itself would depend on the following: the bank\u2019s mission and vision, core competencies and resource constraints.\nAt this stage the bank is ready to accumulate resources. It will then allocate these resources as needed based on its role decision and strategically important activities that it had identified in step 4.\nAt this stage, the bank is ready to develop its competitive advantage. These should be derived from the bank\u2019s core competency, since there is a high possibility that the bank will perform these tasks or activities better than its competitors. However, a core competency does not automatically translate into a competitive advantage, since anything a bank does better than its rivals (and possibly even the market) can become a competitive advantage for itself. For example, a bank might have corporate banking as its core competency, but it might also cite customer satisfaction as its competitive advantage.\nOnce the bank has built competitive advantage over its rivals, it can differentiate itself and deliver superior value to its customers. This would ideally lead to customer satisfaction, retention and consequently, profitability.\nThe last step would be the continuous and regular monitoring, evaluation and revision of the bank\u2019s strategic management processes and decisions to reflect sudden or anticipated changes in the environment and other factors.\nStrategic Management of MARUTI SUZUKI\nElectric Transformers Definition\nBenefits of Help Desk Outsourcing\nProduct Sourcing Company\nEvaluate of Recruitment and Selection Process of AMTEX BD\nReport on Employee Retention Strategy of Eastern Bank Limited (Part-2)\nSample Application for Issuance of Provisional Certificate for Admission\nAssignment on William Shakespeare\nDiscuss on Monocular Vision Equipment\nTheoretical perspective of Human Resource Policies\nRepayment Behavior of Retail Loan Borrowers of BRAC Bank\nCustomer Satisfaction on Credit Card Services Provided by Brac Bank\nFinancial Performance Evaluation of Some Selected Commercial Bank in Bangladesh\nForeign Exchange Transaction System of National Bank Ltd\nMerchandising and Operation Process Development of Dynasty Knit Fashion Ltd\nDifferent Modes of Investment of Islami Bank Bangladesh",

        "title": "BBC - Capital - The ultimate stress antidote that costs nothing",
        "raw_content": "The ultimate stress antidote that costs nothing\nScottish literary giant Robert Louis Stevenson wrote that it\u2019s \u201cnot so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men\u2019s hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air, that emanation from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit.\u201d\nForest bathing is more closely related to a contemplative practice\nForests have long been a place we go to clear our minds. But the simple act of strolling through woods, like Stevenson often did, isn\u2019t so common these days. That could change if former wilderness guide Amos Clifford, who founded the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy in 2012, has his way. He\u2019s formed a \u2018forest therapy\u2019 group for one reason: to preach the gospel of a new form of preventative healthcare known as \u201cforest bathing\u201d (a poetic term for using our five senses to absorb a forest\u2019s atmosphere).\nView image of The Lodge at Woodloch staff train in &#39;forest bathing&#39; (Credit: Amos Clifford)\n\u201cIf you compare it to other ways of being in nature that we\u2019re familiar with \u2013 like hiking \u2013 it\u2019s different because forest bathing is more closely related to a contemplative practice,\u201d Clifford said.\nOn one of his guided walks in Sonoma County, near San Francisco, a group of between six and 15 \u201cbathers\u201d might stroll just a half-mile in three hours. That\u2019s because the practice is about slowing down the mind and body, as well as unplugging from devices.\nThe latest research from venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins shows that the average American spends 9.9 hours each day glued to the screens of TVs, tablets, smartphones and computers. The figures are even more alarming in China, the Philippines and Indonesia. Some worry we\u2019re becoming more slave to technology than its master.\nView image of Forest bathing (Credit: Amos Clifford, Association of Nature and Forest Therapy)\nDuring a typical forest therapy session \u2013 where the use of technology is strongly discouraged (but not banned) \u2013 Clifford proposes a series of questions to help participants unplug. How does the damp soil smell? What is the texture of the tree bark? Can you hear the wind through the woods?\nA 2015 study from researchers at Stanford University, found walking in a park reduces blood flow to a section of the brain that\u2019s typically associated with brooding\n\u201cWe\u2019ve developed a kind of time sickness where every moment has to be productive,\u201d Clifford said. By soaking in the woody atmosphere, he explained, we can reset our nervous systems, effectively turning our bodies into healing machines.\nIt might sound like a tree-hugger\u2019s pseudoscience, but there\u2019s a growing body of evidence to suggest that spending time in a wooded area really does have tangible effects on our body, which range from lowering blood pressure to boosting energy and combating depression.\nA 2015 study from researchers at Stanford University, found walking in a park reduces blood flow to a section of the brain that\u2019s typically associated with brooding (a mental state researchers claim is disproportionately common among urbanites). Meanwhile, similar studies show that adults who regularly take walks in green spaces have better concentration and are significantly less likely to suffer from depression than those who don\u2019t.\nThe late Apple CEO Steve Jobs was famous for conducting meetings while walking outdoors. Lately, more executives in Silicon Valley, among other places, have turned to forest bathing not only as an antidote for stress, but also a tool for business.\nWhen exactly did we get to the point where a walk in the woods needed to be branded as \u201cbathing\u201d and sold back to us in the form of wellbeing? The answer, in part, lies in the changing demographics of our planet. The urban population worldwide grew from just 746 million in 1950 to a staggering 3.9 billion in 2014, according to the United Nations Population Division. That means that more than half the planet now lives in urban areas where access to nature \u2013 and the once habitual act of walking through it - can be difficult.\nLi\u2019s research has also found that extended time in the forest reduces levels of the stress hormone cortisol while increasing our sense of vigour.\nIf there\u2019s a country that\u2019s familiar with this conundrum it\u2019s Japan, where 93% of the population lives in cities. In fact, it was Japan\u2019s Forest Agency that first coined the term forest bathing, or \u201cshinrin-yoku,\u201d in 1982. The concept was inspired by ancient Shinto and Buddhist practices and has since become a pillar of preventative healthcare in the country, with the government pouring more than $10m into forest bathing research over the last decade, according to Qing Li, a professor at Tokyo\u2019s Nippon Medical School and president of the Japanese Society of Forest Medicine.\nLi\u2019s research indicates that the forest is where our nervous system operates at its optimum level. \u201cIt has a similar affect to natural aromatherapy,\u201d he explains. Trees and plants emit aromas known as phytoncides that Li believes enhance our so-called natural killer cells, which are helpful in warding off disease. Li\u2019s research has also found that extended time in the forest reduces levels of the stress hormone cortisol while increasing our sense of vigour and mental energy.\nJapan isn\u2019t the only country to latch on to the idea that forests can aid in preventive healthcare. The Korea Forest Service plans to establish 34 public healing forests and two forest healing centres by the end of 2017. And in forest-rich Scandinavia, Finland has a government-funded taskforce on forests and human health that was launched in 2007 to, among other goals, increase the amount of trees near schools and offices.\nMany companies have contracts with forest therapy bases in their local area to hold meetings, conduct new employee education sessions, or to use them in stress management\nEven so, much of the hard data on the benefits of forest bathing still comes from Japanese forests where visitors frequently fill out questionnaires or agree to biometric measurements. Areas where the research indicates positive results on stress levels, among other factors, are deemed forest bathing \u201cbases.\u201d There are now 62 nationwide often near major cities with onsite guides and, in many cases, links to nearby medical institutions.\nLi said that these bases have become particularly popular among Japan\u2019s business community. \u201cMany companies have contracts with forest therapy bases in their local area to hold meetings, conduct new employee education sessions, or to use them in stress management,\u201d he explained.\nHiroshi Mikitani, the CEO of Tokyo-based e-commerce giant Rakuten, doesn\u2019t use a fixed base, but is well-known for taking his top executives on offsite walks through rural Japan. It\u2019s a trend that\u2019s also becoming popular on the other side of the Pacific in California.\nClifford said that, through his guide-training programme with the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy, he\u2019s certified organisational development consultants who work with Google, Facebook and other San Francisco Bay Area tech firms. He also has a contract with the Santa Rosa City Schools who will pilot a forest bathing program for stressed-out teachers and is working with healthcare provider Kaiser Permanente to set up walks for its doctors.\nPrescriptions for parks\nAs more doctors understand the research, many are now prescribing spending time outdoors in nature as a remedy for things like digital addictions and depression. The United States\u2019 Park Rx community health initiative, for example, is a national plan to reconnect Americans with nature through prescriptions to public parks.\nWe jump to medicines or we jump to referring a patient to a specialist when, in fact, a lot of what\u2019s going on is lifestyle\nPark Rx advisor Robert Zarr said he sees parkland as an underutilised resource that\u2019s been neglected by doctors. Often \u201cwe jump to medicines or we jump to referring a patient to a specialist when, in fact, a lot of what\u2019s going on is lifestyle,\u201d the doctor explained.\nAustralia and New Zealand boast similar \u201cgreen prescription\u201d schemes, while the UK just launched a three-year beta version of its own program in Dartmoor and Exmoor in Devon. Zarr said the seed has been planted, and the movement to reconnect with nature is finally taking root.",

Who are the people that make the world\u2019s most intricately designed watches?\nRoger Smith\u2019s heart was in his mouth. Across the table from him sat George Daniels, the best watchmaker in the world. Here they were in Daniels\u2019 own workshop, on the Isle of Man. Smith was only 27. He\u2019d flown over from his home in the north of England to show something to the great craftsman. Something he\u2019d been working on for five and a half years. A handmade mechanical watch.\nHe waited anxiously as Daniels turned the device over gently in his hands, inspecting every surface and every detail with an authoritative eye. Daniels asked Smith to confirm who had made various bits of the watch. To every question, Smith\u2019s reply came back, \u201cI did.\u201d There were only a few of these questions. And then, Daniels stood up. \u201cCongratulations,\u201d he said, with a smile, \u201cyou\u2019re a watchmaker.\u201d\nThat was how it all really began in earnest for Smith, who shortly afterwards became Daniels\u2019 apprentice. Although Daniels passed away in 2011, Smith now produces his own line of luxury watches, still on the Isle of Man.\nView image of Roger Smith, a luxury watchmaker based in the Isle of Man (Credit: Chris Baraniuk)\nSmith and his team make just 10 watches a year\nDespite the rise of electronic watches, demand for mechanical timepieces has remained among those who can afford them, with manufacturers ranging from Rolex to Patek Phillipe. What\u2019s unusual about Smith and his small team is that they make just 10 watches a year. They\u2019re very rare, very beautiful \u2013 and very expensive. What goes in to the making of intricate watches like these?\nThe RW Smith workshop, nestled in a hamlet on the Isle of Man, is actually a cottage \u2013 once Smith\u2019s own house \u2013 converted into a kind of mini factory. The whole area is relaxed and rural. On one side of the building lies the Irish Sea, just visible across a field. To the other, Snaefell Mountain, gently reclining in the distance.\nView image of (Credit: Chris Baraniuk)\nQuietly, in the midst of this idyllic landscape, the RW Smith watchmakers spend hours, days, weeks and months crafting the components for every watch. Cutting, drilling, weighing, polishing \u2013 all at a minuscule scale. Inside the workshop itself are just three rooms containing some vintage watchmaking machinery, a noisy milling device and a series of benches where the most delicate parts of the procedure can be painstakingly carried out under ample overhead light.\nSmith has set everything up as precisely as one of his watches. He points to the milling machine. \u201cIt\u2019s German,\u201d he says, \u201cIt\u2019s used extensively in Switzerland in the watch industry. And this gives us total independence from anyone. It enabled me to design a new British [watch] movement.\u201d\nA drawer in a large cabinet is pulled open. Tiny boxes labelled all the way up to 100 and beyond lie in neatly arranged rows \u2013 the individual components for one of Smith\u2019s Series 2 watches. In another corner lies an older milling machine, originally bought by Daniels in the 1970s. It\u2019s not needed anymore. But an even more ancient-looking device near it is. It\u2019s used for engine-turning \u2013 a kind of geometric metallic patterning which is one of the signature features of an RW Smith watch design.\nSmith points to one of his in-production dials to explain. \u201cA dial like that will take about two to two-and-a-half weeks to make,\u201d he says, commenting that it is designed to be serviceable or restorable in 100 or 200 years\u2019 time \u2013 if not more. \u201cThe lettering and numerals are all hand cut and we fill those with ink so that they can all be refreshed when the time comes.\u201d\nView image of If designers make a mistake it can take days to rectify (Credit: Chris Baraniuk)\nThere is a clean whiteness to the metal of the dial and Smith explains that this hue is achieved by heating the material, silver, under a flame to oxidise it gently. That\u2019s the sort of detail few might realise goes into the production of a device like this.\n\u201cThe finish has got to be completely flawless. There are no excuses, it\u2019s either right or wrong, there\u2019s no in-between,\u201d he says.\nOne single watch, depending on its complexity, could take three years to make\nThe effort required to achieve this level of \u2013 to use Smith\u2019s own word \u2013 perfection, is mind-boggling. One single watch, depending on its complexity, could take three years to make. And from start to finish Smith\u2019s watchmakers are working to tolerances of within 3-4000th of a millimetre. Anything less could make the watch unreliable. And in the assembly of each one, it\u2019s the final stages which are the most challenging. \u201cIt\u2019s very, very demanding,\u201d says Smith.\n\u201cSuddenly every single time you pick up the watch you\u2019ve got to protect it with your fingers. You\u2019ve got to think about picking up the screwdriver to un-do a screw, you don\u2019t want to slip because if you slip you could spend a couple of days correcting the fault.\u201d\nDuring this process, the watchmaker can enter a near trance-like state, he admits. \u201cYou have to sharpen your wits. You have to just sit down and really concentrate,\u201d says Smith.\nAs he explains, a watch is a relatively simple concept as a mechanical device. Energy stored in a coiled spring is gradually released by a mechanism called an \u201cescapement\u201d, essentially a series of gears. Ultimately these gears turn a final set of cogs which unwind and move the minute and hour hands. It\u2019s a complicated business, though, because of the small size and the aforementioned tolerances involved. And also because of the longevity. Watch owners expect their watches to work flawlessly without servicing or interfering with them for many years. Imagine, says Smith, asking your car\u2019s engine to be as reliable.\nAn RW Smith watch currently starts at \u00a3100,000, but some can cost more than \u00a31m\nSmith\u2019s low rate of production means there is currently a three year waiting list for one of his Series 2\u2019s. If you are prepared to wait, an RW Smith watch currently starts at \u00a3100,000 though he is also making several other watches, using a movement designed by George Daniels himself, which cost \u00a3174,000. For some clients that\u2019s a drop in the ocean, though. Smith\u2019s latest bespoke project for one customer will sport a completely unique design. \u201cThat will be probably over a million by the time it\u2019s finished,\u201d he says nonchalantly.\nDespite being so remote, Smith\u2019s workshop does get visited by his wealthy clients. \u201cThey all come at some point,\u201d he says. \u201cI think it\u2019s only really when they come and visit that they fully understand what we\u2019re trying to do here. When they see the kind of working, the finishing of components that go into a watch.\u201d\nIt hasn\u2019t always been easy. Smith says that there were times in the early days of his business when he was \u201con the breadline\u201d. At one point, things were so dire that he even had to sell the special watch he made all those years ago to impress George Daniels.\nIt\u2019s clear Smith has an uncompromising view about quality, and the importance of his craft. \u201cI make no apology for being a purist. Ours is the purest of mechanical arts,\u201d he wrote last year in an open letter online criticising the shortcuts of other British watchmakers. He argued they were misleading customers as to the origins of their watches\u2019 components. Some, it had transpired, were selling Swiss-made movements in their watches while claiming them as wholly British designs.\nWhat does Smith think of the Apple Watch? \u201cNot a great deal really,\u201d he quips. For Smith, a watch is mechanical, it has a soul, he says, and can be seen as a friend or companion. \u201cIt might sound a bit nutty, but, you know, it\u2019s something that you can understand and really look at and study,\u201d he explains.\n\u201cI don\u2019t know if you can ever have that connection with an electronic thing that you have to keep charging every day and that only has a tiny amount of information in it.\u201d\nCould mechanical purists like Smith be a dying breed though? Not necessarily. Across the Atlantic, there are signs of another purist in the making. In Los Angeles, California, Cameron Weiss has been establishing his own watchmaking business. Although he currently uses Swiss movements, Weiss plans to launch an American design by the end of the year. \u201cWe\u2019re about to be the first and only company with a US-made watch, a US made-movement in production,\u201d he says.\nCameron\u2019s story is not unlike Smith\u2019s. As a boy, he too was fascinated with watches. In Cameron\u2019s case, he learned the skills of his trade at Wostep, a Swiss watchmaking institute, before going on to work for Vacheron Constantin, which describes itself as the world\u2019s oldest watch manufacturer.\nPerhaps the ubiquity of electronics in our era has persuaded people to look again at the intricate and the mechanical\nWeiss, like his colleagues in the industry, is obsessed with the details of watchmaking and describes processes such as heat-treating the metal on screws to turn them, in one case, a magical shade of light blue. Another example he points to is the care taken over polishing so that oils will not seep away from their parts during years of wear and tear. \u201cThe amount of focus that goes into each component is unreal,\u201d he says. While Weiss works to a high standard, he targets consumers rather than wealthy collectors \u2013 a Weiss watch starts at $950.\nUltimately, Weiss hopes that he will inspire others to follow in his footsteps. \u201cReally, the goal is to try and rebuild the American watchmaking industry,\u201d he explains. He shares Smith\u2019s hope, then, that others around him will strive for the same degree of quality. The same perfection.\nAlthough many challenges still lie ahead in the US, Britain and elsewhere, Smith is positive about the future of watchmaking. \u201cI think it\u2019s on the up,\u201d he says cheerfully. Perhaps the ubiquity of electronics in our era has persuaded people to look again at the intricate and the mechanical \u2013 the cogs and dials of a carefully assembled watch. Smith certainly thinks so. And it\u2019s hard to argue with someone who has spent so many hours and invested so much of himself in these devices. Pretenders may come and go, but as the Isle of Man watchmaker says, \u201cThere\u2019s nothing that can beat a really good mechanical watch.\u201d\nFollow BBC Future on Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and LinkedIn.",

        "title": "9 Supporting Actors We\u2019d Like to See Take the Lead | Anglophenia | BBC America",
        "raw_content": "9 Supporting Actors We\u2019d Like to See Take the Lead\nBy Brigid Brown | 3 weeks ago\nIt seems everyone has their favorite actor. And, it\u2019s so great when they start popping up in new projects. It was recently confirmed Australian actor Ben Mendelssohn is set to take on a lead role in the forthcoming TV series adaptation of Stephen King\u2018s 2018 novel The Outsider. His previous work typically landed him in supportive roles; we\u2019re excited to see him step into the spotlight.\nWe can even include BBC America\u2019s Sandra Oh (Grey\u2019s Anatomy) and Jodie Whittaker (Broadchurch) as actors who made the jump, with the two women taking the lead in their shows Killing Eve and Doctor Who, respectively.\nHere are 9 actors whose work we thoroughly enjoy and would like to see more of \u2014 front and center:\nMark Strong is a regular on Anglo, starring in some our favorite ensemble films like 2008\u2019s RocknRolla and 2011\u2019s Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. He\u2019s been a major force in the Kingsman franchise (2014, 2017), taking on the role of an advisor to the recruits.\nInstead of the right-hand man, can he be THE man.\n2. Bill Nighy\nBill Nighy has won our heart over, multiple times. Going back to 2003\u2019s Love Actually when he played a slightly down-and-out pop singer and more recently as a loving dad to Domhnall Gleeson in 2013\u2019s About Time. We should mention, in About Time, his character possessed the ability to time travel.\nWe could see him captaining a sci-fi TV series, for sure.\n3. Emily Watson\nEmily Watson did take the lead in 2013\u2019s The Politician\u2019s Husband, with David Tennant playing the supportive spouse. As of late, we\u2019ve seen her play wife to Albert Einstein in 2017\u2019s Genius and Marmee March in The Little Women miniseries, also in 2017.\nWe\u2019d like to go back to her on-screen parliament days: we vote for Watson for lead!!\n4. Vera Farmiga\nVera Farmiga was definitely on-screen a lot in Bates Motel (2013-2017), being mother to Freddie Highmore\u2018s Norman Bates, which won her an Emmy nomination in 2013. The Psycho spinoff revolves around Norma and Norman\u2019s relationship, ultimately providing insight into her creepy killer offspring\u2019s psychology.\nAs well, we really enjoyed her as Alex Goran in 2009\u2019s Up in the Air as George Clooney\u2018s travel companion-turned-love interest (also winning her an Oscar nod), but\u2026 it was mostly about his character.\nWith that said, we\u2019d like to see Farmiga, playing a rounded-out character, examining her needs and wants!! She\u2019s earned household name status by this point.\n5. Sam Rockwell\nSam Rockwell won a 2018 Oscar for Best Actor in a Supporting Role for his portrayal of Dixon in Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. And just this year, he was nominated for a 2019 Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture for Vice, where he plays George W. Bush. Okay, okay, he\u2019s doing something right, clearly.\nEven so, it would be interesting to see him take the lead, with the other actors playing off of his powerhouse performance. With that said, we should mention, it was just recently announced Rockwell is set to portray famed choreographer and director Bob Fosse, who won an Academy Award for his 1972 film adaptation of Cabaret.\nOK, that box is checked, he is taking the lead, and we can confidently say\u2026 we weren\u2019t wrong.\nRose Byrne has been on our watch list for a while, but it seems like she\u2019s a little under the radar. She starred in the 2011 breakout hit Bridesmaids, as Kristen Wiig\u2018s rival maid of honor. Also in 2011, she joined the X-Men franchise as Dr. Moira MacTaggert, a champion of the mutant superheroes. She also popped up as a Google executive in the 2013 buddy film The Internship, starring Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn. In 2015, she starred opposite Melissa McCarthy in the comedy-action flick Spy as the resident baddie.\nShe\u2019s racking up a plethora of solid roles, but we think it\u2019s Rose\u2019s time to rise.\nVincent Cassel is one of those actors who looks familiar, but it might be hard to place him. In 2004, he starred in Ocean\u2019s Twelve as Fran\u00e7ois Toulour, a professional thief. He returned to the franchise in 2013 for Ocean\u2019s Thirteen to reprise the role. We saw him as the unseemly ballet director in 2010\u2019s Black Swan, starring Natalie Portman in the title role. He also popped up in 2016\u2019s Jason Bourne as the elite agent\u2019s (Matt Damon) nemesis, who went by Asset.\nHmm, maybe switch gears to make the leap to lead. Say, possibly as a teacher at a public school, helping the kids flourish (giving up the bad boy reputation).\nWe were first introduced to Thandie Newton in 2000\u2019s Mission Impossible II, opposite Tom Cruise. In 20024, she had a scene-stealing role in the much talked about Crash. We caught up with her in 2007 when she starred opposite Simon Pegg in the romantic comedy Run, Fat Boy, Run, as the love interest. She currently stars in the mega hit TV series Westworld as a renegade android.\nNewton is currently booked, but when she\u2019s free, we see her at the top, like a CEO of a company, where bad, bad things are happening (we have killer-thrillers on the brain).\n9. Yvonne Strahovski\nYvonne Strahovski caught our eye in the 2007 spy series Chuck, as Sarah Walker. She continued on a TV trek starring in Dexter (2012-2013) as Hannah McKay, 24: Live Another Day (2014) as Kate Morgan, and The Astronaut Wives Club (2015) as Rene Carpenter. But, it was The Handmaid\u2019s Tale, starring Elisabeth Moss, where she really made her mark as Serena Joy Waterford, wife to the Commander (Joseph Fiennes).\nThe Handmaid\u2019s Tale is preparing for a third season, and it\u2019s yet to be confirmed who of the cast will be returning. But if and when Strahovski does find herself available to take on new material, possibly she\u2019ll need a break from the seriousness of it all. Like, starring in a romantic comedy where she can let her hair down (literally!).\nWho\u2019s on your wish list!?\nFiled Under: Dream Casting",

        "title": "Bernard Baruch Biography",
        "raw_content": "Bernard Baruch Biography\nBernard Mannes Baruch (August 19, 1870 - June 20, 1965) was an American financier and presidential adviser. On April 16, 1947 Baruch coined the term \"Cold War\" to describe the relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union.\nBernard Baruch advised American presidents on economic matters for over 40 years. These ranged from Woodrow Wilson to John F. Kennedy and in his later years Baruch was highly regarded as an elder statesman. He was described as a man of immense charm who enjoyed a larger-than-life reputation that matched his considerable fortune.\nBernard Baruch was born in Camden, South Carolina on Friday August 19, 1870 to Simon and Belle Baruch, the second of four sons, his father was a German immigrant who came to America in 1855 to avoid conscription in the Prussian army and became a field surgeon on the staff of Robert E. Lee for the Confederate army during the Civil War.\nIn 1881 the family moved to New York City and in 1889 he graduated from the City College of New York. His first job was as an office boy earning $3.00 a week.\nHe eventually became a broker and then a partner in the firm of A. Housman and Company.

        "raw_content": "The Girl Without Arms\nBrandon Shimoda is the author of a few books, including The Girl Without Arms, published by Black Ocean in 2011, and Portuguese (Octopus Books & Tin House, 2013). He has collaborated with artists and writers, including Sommer Browning, Julia Cohen, Lucas Farrell, James Jack, Karen McAlister Shimoda, and Phil Cordelli, with whom he is The Pines. Born in California, he has lived most recently in Arizona, Nova Scotia, and Taiwan.\nThe precondition for a reckless power, a knowingly foolhardy, sometimes comic investigation of what our instincts know.\nBrandon Shimoda seems to be an Ur-being, a totally new creature: And I never wanted children, but now / I want children / To drop / Through skeletal netting / Nameless / Into black beds / As like into potters aglow in generous helpings of children. His language changes natural laws. We, standing by, reading, shivering in awe, are stopped. Mute, then refreshed and launched. His children.\nBrandon Shimoda\u2019s The Girl Without Arms is a whirlwind of language. I got lost in the turning and I was so happy to be lost, for once. Because the genius of poetry is to make you feel like you always want to be lost in a cone of words and light, twisting around what may have started out as your one self but is now so many selves. And twisting, tearing, and splitting you so pleasantly into many selves is exactly what this book does.\nSometimes I can taste the world in a poem. Sometimes there is a poet in service to deliver everything you want to taste in the world. Brandon Shimoda is such a poet. If every book he writes is as good as The Girl Without Armsthere will be many years of never going hungry. Some people have faith in god, but I have faith in Poetry. I have faith in Brandon Shimoda.\nOf himself and his work Brandon writes:\nI was born in the San Fernando Valley of southern California, to an Irish-Scottish girl and a Japanese boy. They were married in the Swiss Alps in the early 70\u2019s. They were children at the time, and have sustained themselves as fortunately so, for now I count them both among my siblings. My mother is a visual artist and my father founded a non-profit organization based out of Laos. My sister, Kelly, is a photographer; her photos compose a resource of astonishingly acute feeling\u2014especially feeling possessed by people in and out of their element\u2014that I am in continual awe of, and constantly fail to enact in my own work. The three of them\u2014my mother, father and sister\u2014are a basic part of my motivation, the four of us obscured by the problems that refuse to sway, giving rise to a fruitful and communal elaboration of energies. Another principal motivation is my father\u2019s father, Midori Shimoda\u2014also a photographer, imprisoned in a federal detention center in Montana during the second World War for being one. And for being Japanese; he was born in Hiroshima, in 1910, emigrated to the U.S. in 1919, though was not granted citizenship until 1955.\nMy first memories are of living in Belgium, in the early 80\u2019s, where I began to develop my interests and animosities. There were epic and stately trees in that country, though I spent a great deal of time in the basement of our house\u2014arranging things, lining things up, making shapes on the floor. On the weekends we traveled around Europe. I recall a cavalcade of paintings and statues, narrow canals, wet stones and bright hillsides. Though I\u2019ve returned many times since, this genesis became the crucial movement, and the chorus of bells in the Alps ...\nEverything thereafter has been a moving in and out of cities and the wilderness. I love the wilderness of people, and the wilderness of art. I am constantly failing both, though finding some solace and salvation in that failing. There is a kind of negative space that overwhelms me when I\u2019m walking around, eating sandwiches, sitting in a chair, looking at the arms of my friends\u2014poetry is one means of giving a form to that negative space; making things is another. I have always been fascinated with creators\u2014artists, and painters especially\u2014the way they work, the conditions they take for that work, and the ways in which they talk about it. I studied and made art from a young age, and only started to write poems when the conditions prevented anything larger, more material, from taking place. (This was in Brooklyn, in 2000). Some day I hope it becomes something else \u2026 aspirations of going to the festival, for example, with both arms mightily intact.\nThere are many people to whom I turn to be renewed in my own thinking and work, included among whom are poets and artists, musicians and filmmakers, and especially good friends and family members. I regularly read works in translation, most recently from the Arabic (Sabah Zwein, Unsi al-Hajj, Muhammed al-Maghut) and Japanese (Ryuichi Tamura, Kazuko Shiraishi, Gozo Yoshimasu, Minoru Yoshika). I read a lot of writer\u2019s and artist\u2019s journals and letters. I am building a library of volumes on the bombing of Hiroshima. Field guides never cease in their benefits. I find great confirmation in the work of many of my good friends and peers\u2014some of them toiling the fish ladder of academia, some of them making their days as farmers\u2014all of them poets and writers in the truest sense, and I make a rule of paying close attention to all of their work. I am constantly envisioning a time when we might all congregate in a field somewhere, for a meal without conceivable end. The time will never come, I know, but so goes the inflation of vision, and my heart ...",

Find out what you need for certain functions with the HD-DVD player.\nMicrosoft has bit the bullet and will fix Xbox 360's sold in 2005 for free, giving refunds to those who already sent their systems in to get fixed.\nNintendo isn't making many friends, or rather won't let your friends all play at the same time. Most first party titles are capped at two players. We assume that's why it's called \"Wii\" and not \"Wiiii\".\nOh, and Link is usually left handed, but in Twilight Princess for the Wii, most people used their right hand. So the game on both the Wii and Gamecube is going to be mirrored.\nMTV has acquired Harmonix, the developer of Guitar Hero.\nMeanwhile, Activision, the publisher of Guitar Hero, announced that it's coming to \"every signifigant new format.\"\nIt's grown up so fast - GDC is about to get a whole lot bigger!",

        "title": "Colorado Department of Corrections asks state to add millions to this year's budget to reopen prison - Canon City Daily Record",
        "raw_content": "Colorado Department of Corrections asks state to add millions to this year's budget to reopen prison\nNoelle Phillips/The Denver Post\nThe Colorado Department of Corrections is asking the state to add $11 million to this year's budget to lease a private prison while it attempts to reopen a closed prison in Ca\u00f1on City.\nCritics, however, say the state needs to look for options rather than pour money into more prison beds. They are especially concerned about the department's plan to put general-population prisoners in Centennial Correctional Facility-South, a prison designed for solitary confinement.\nMark Fairbairn, a corrections department spokesman, said in an email that officials would not discuss their plans until an official request is made Wednesday to the legislature's Joint Budget Committee.\nHowever, The Denver Post obtained a copy of the department's supplementary budget request that shows it wants $10.9 million to open a 250-bed private prison because of unexpected increase in the number of people being sent to prison.\nThe department would use the private prison while a $636,000 recreation yard is under construction at Centennial South, which also has been called Colorado State Penitentiary II in previous years.\nFederal law requires general-population prisons to provide recreational options for inmates, and the project would meet that criteria.\nHowever, state law forbids the corrections department from housing prisoners at Centennial South, so it would need the legislature to change that.\nChristie Donner, executive director of the Colorado Department of Corrections, said Colorado needs to study what is driving a rising inmate population and devise alternatives to sending more and more people to prison.\n\u201cThe historical approach of going back to get more money from the taxpayers to open another facility should not be the only option on the table,\u201d Donner said. \u201cMy concern is this is the only option being presented by the department.\u201d\nIn June, the department asked the Joint Budget Committee for an extra $15 million in its 2017-18 budget.\nOf that, $14.5 million was marked to lease a vacant private prison and staff it with corrections department employees, according to a report prepared by the Joint Budget Committee. An additional $636,000 was earmarked to build the recreation yard at Centennial South, the report said.\nThe legislature's Joint Budget Committee denied the request.\nCentennial South is widely considered a boondoggle. The prison, constructed after the state borrowed $208 million, opened in 2010 and was closed two years later. Taxpayers are still paying the construction bill.\nSince then, state prison officials unsuccessfully have tried to lease Centennial South to another state, the federal government and a private corrections company.\nBut few prison systems are interested in a solitary confinement facility.\nSolitary confinement, also known as administrative segregation, is no longer considered an appropriate way to manage violent or out-of-control inmates.\nAdministrative segregation is not used in Colorado. Instead, the corrections department uses \u201cextended restrictive housing\u201d for its most difficult inmates. Those inmates are allowed out of their cells four hours per day instead of the single hour allowed under the old administrative segregation system.\nCentennial South does not include a recreation yard or cafeteria, and its day rooms and classrooms are fewer and smaller than what most other prisons offer.\n\u201cCSP II was carefully designed as a high-tech prison in which inmates would be utterly and completely isolated from meaningful human contact,\u201d said Rebecca Wallace, a staff attorney with the ACLU of Colorado, who works on prison issues. \u201cIt is hard to imagine it ever being cost-efficient for this state to retrofit the prison so that it becomes a humane and constitutionally adequate location to house incarcerated people.\u201d\nUnder the corrections department's two-part proposal, 250 inmates would be moved to Centennial South once the recreation yard was finished, the supplemental budget request said.\nThe department said it would need to hire 119 full-time equivalent positions at a cost of $8.4 million, the request said. It also would have start-up costs of $1.7 million, which would pay for furniture, employee training and communications equipment.\nStartup costs also would include modifying cells because computers installed during the original construction are obsolete. Removing those computers would leave openings in the cells, the request said.\nIn denying the corrections department's first request, the Joint Budget Committee determined the assertion that more prison beds are needed was credible. But the committee's staff recommended the state open a private prison under private management because there are empty private facilities in Colorado, the report said.\nAs of July 31, 20,144 people were housed in the state's prisons. That gives the department a vacancy rate of less than 1 percent, the budget request said.\nIn its request, the corrections department warned that a crowded prison system could increase stress and racial tension and cause crowding at county jails.\n\u201cIf this request is not funded, the department will have insufficient bed capacity for growing numbers of offenders, who will be retained in jails awaiting placement,\u201d the request said.",

        "raw_content": "Can you briefly describe your career path for us?\nA karyotype (female ): the arrangement of the 46 human chromosomes for genetic analysis\nI finished my Masters in Human Genetics and started my career as a Cytogeneticist at Manipal University. I was hired as a temporary replacement for someone who went on leave. It was a wonderful opportunity and I worked very hard to gain as much experience as I could. Thankfully, my boss noticed my hard work and hired me full-time. Soon after, I got an opportunity to do diagnostic work as well as teach, which I have been doing for the past twelve years.\nA very important part of my work has been the initiation of prenatal diagnostics at the university medical center. It was a steady progress over one and a half years before we could establish the diagnostic procedures.\nWhat drove you to choose a career in Genetics?\nI was very good at Prenatal Genetics. As a student, it was my favorite subject. I am generally inspired by the application part of a subject. I loved the practical classes in Cytogenetics. And that\u2019s what motivated me to continue learning more.\nBased on my work so far, I could become a lab director, supervising diagnostics. I think that would be an ideal position for me, but after a few years. The early part of my career was driven by my thirst for knowledge and work experience. Now, I am at a point where I have to look for opportunities to leverage my skills and offer my services to young labs that need guidance to get up and running.\nConsidering that this is a dynamic field with technologies evolving every day, there is a huge need for experienced Cytogeneticists to help the establishment of new labs. Among clinicians, there is an increasing need for genetic diagnosis in the areas of cancer and prenatal care.\nHow many years would a high school student have to consider putting in, to settle down in this field?\nIdeally, one can settle down in about 9 to 10 years after passing out from school; if every things goes well. But, practically speaking, it may take up to 12 or 13 years to establish oneself and winning the trust of clinicians to send cases for analysis. It may be shorter if they start working immediately after a Masters. But, it may be difficult to get up the ladder without a doctorate.\nFlourescence in situ hybridization: a diagnostic method to identify genetic abnormalities.\nWhat, in your opinion, are the three most important skill sets that you had to develop, outside of academics, in your career?\nFrom my experience, the first thing is laboratory skills. We don\u2019t really learn enough when we perform an experiment in class or in the exams. A lot has gone into making that experiment work perfectly for us as students. But, when you perform the experiments on a daily basis, a number of things can go wrong, and most of the time, your troubleshooting solutions are not explained in any textbook.\nThe second is learning a lot of clinical genetics through working with physicians and seeing patients on a daily basis.\nThe third is management skills: management of laboratory operations, consumable purchase, equipment maintenance, and people. These are skills I learned on the job, and they have made me a better and stronger professional.\nWhat are some of the challenges women may face in a career like yours?\nOne of the biggest challenges for women is adjusting culturally. I have observed that the work environment, in India, is still very conservative. People don\u2019t distinguish between the professional and personal aspects of an individual. And when one does not personally conform to societal norms, the society automatically questions their professional credibility. Women especially have to constantly try to break that orthodoxy. As it is, as women, we have to fight a lot harder to establish our credibility.\nDoes your career offer you a good work-life balance?\nIt is a matter of one\u2019s personality. My job would have offered me a good work-life balance, had I stuck to my work timings. But, I chose to do extra work and work after hours, which have largely helped me grow technically stronger. I have no regrets about it. Again, it was my personal choice.\nWhat is your advice to students who aspire to take up Cytogenetics?\nOne has to be prepared to work hard. I don\u2019t mean to sound intimidating. But the hard work is certainly rewarding. I know a lot of Cytogeneticists, including myself, who are very passionate about the subject. Also, it is always a good idea to take advice from experienced mentors. I am speaking from my personal experience. Until my mentor showed me the way, I had no idea in which direction to head. I have been lucky to have a number of supportive mentors throughout my career. It is especially important in the early stages of our careers because when we come out of school, most of us are pretty clueless about what we want to do. We go with the advice of parents or just do what our friends do. It really helps to listen to an unbiased third person who can objectively analyze our strengths and suggest ways forward.\n\u2190 Q&A with a Social EntrepreneurQ&A with a Scientist \u2192",

Not only he financially helped a lot of videos, documentaries and advertising films but also, he played a role in many of them. At par with the world of technology and computers, the eyes of Bill Gates are equally focused on the world of camera and advertisements. Based on the importance of ad films, in the year 2008, he made an extensive ad campaign plan for Microsoft. Under this, he even made an ad commercial with Jerry Seinfeld in which Gates was seen buying shoes. In a different commercial of his, Bill was seen with a struggling family. People were amazed to see Bill Gates\u2019 performance like that of a professional actor. The prudent vision of Gates is well visible from his decision of buying the video rights of lectures of Physics (1964) by the famous American scientist Richard Feynman. Gates had a view that this lecture could be very handy and useful in the development of technology. In July 2009, Gates issued these through his online platform project known as Truva. The 1999 movie \u201cPirates of the Silicon Valley\u201d featured the competition between Bill Gates and Steve Jobs regarding the development of personal computer. The movie was based on the book \u201cFire in the Valley\u201d.\nDocumentaries which featured Bill Gates\nTriumph of the Nerds \u2013 This 3 hour documentary movie showcases the development cycle of American personal computers. In this documentary of 1996, Gates, by the means of an interview tells about the contributions of Microsoft.

        "raw_content": "Remembering Former Mets Owner: Nelson Doubleday Jr. (1980-2002)\nNelson Doubleday Jr. was born July 20th 1933 in Oyster Bay, Long Island, New York. He is the grandson of Frank Doubleday who founded the Doubleday Publishing Company & the son of Nelson Sr. who built the business into a mass market powerhouse.\nDoubleday Jr. grew up mostly in Long Island & was an avid baseball fan rooting for the Brooklyn Dodgers.\nNelson Jr. attended Green vale School on Long Island, Deerfield Academy & Princeton University where he earned a degree in economics. Doubleday played football & hockey at Princeton then served in the US Air Force. In the early seventies he was an investor in the New York Islanders hockey club with his Country Club pal John Pickett.\nIn 1978 he became president of the Doubleday Company and the business reported sales of $350 million at the time he bought into the New York Mets Baseball Club.\nIn 1980 Doubleday posted 80% of the record $21.1 million to purchase the New York Mets from the Joan Whitney Payson family. Fred Wilpon & City Investing Corp. were the other partners. At the time the Mets were at rock bottom & in last place. He had a lot to do with the turn around of the organization, which came quickly, as the Mets were competing by 1984 & won a World Championship by 1986.\nBy 1985 the Doubleday Company was not making much money & he shocked the business world by selling the Company for nearly $500 million. Doubleday Jr. always kept out of the lime light & was behind the baseball scenes, letting GM Frank Cashen run the show.\nIn 2002 he sold his portion of the Mets to Wilpon for a reported $135 million.\nDoubleday passed away at his home in Locust Valley, New York on June 17th 2015, he was 81 years old.\nThe Mets said in a statement: \u201cWe were saddened to hear the news of the passing of Nelson Doubleday Jr. Nelson had a love of baseball and the Mets.\nOn behalf of everyone at the organization, we send our condolences and sympathies to his family.\u201d\n1986 Mets Ron Darling & Keith Hernandez paid tribute to Doubleday on their Mets broadcast as the news broke.",

        "raw_content": "TYPES OF ACCESS DOORS.\nAn access door can be defined as a versatile piece of building that comes in variety of types to serve a variety of intentions. Access doors may permit access to an enclosed space behind a wall, floor, or ceiling. Even though some can accommodate human beings, most are smaller because they simply need access to small spaces or partitions located just behind them. The purpose of most access doors is to align with the surfaces in which they have practical reasons. Maintaining your building\u2019s structural integrity, fire safety, confidentiality and meeting other essential elements are other purposes of access doors.\nCurrently, access doors are one of the most important tools available to us. These doors have proven to be helpful to us as we strive to achieve our various goals from security to technical support, while carrying out domestic or business tasks. We get to know more about the various types of these doors when we appreciate them.\nFire-Rated Access Doors are the most fashionable types. They are the ones that have been tested for fire resistance. They can endure fire at certain levels. They are either insulated or non-insulated. The insulated type is intended for rooms where heat is always a factor. The the door can dissipate the heat. Rooms Where temperatures are not always a factor, the non-insulated type is designed for it.\nThe doors that don\u2019t come with a fire rating and are meant for easier uses are the Non Rated Access Doors. They are simply doors that permit people to move from one point of the building to a restricted area. These entries are created for areas in a building where heat is not an issue. They can be used as an entrance by employees entering their place of work or by technicians repairing certain equipment that is maintained in a restricted area.\nThere are other kinds of access doors depending on the material used. For light duty purposes those made of plastic are used. Often, those made of stainless steel are used by banks for their vaults. Without a doubt, this type is intended for heavy-duty purposes where lighter varieties just won\u2019t do. Stainless steel doors are also used for high-security areas with maximum restrictions. For attics in home attic access doors are used. Often, People keep their old yet most treasured belongings in the attic, yet only individuals who live in the home may have access to these belongings. This leads to the creation of these specialized doors resulting in the attic.\nThere are many benefits of access doors, and it all depends on the use and how they can be of help. Whether for organization or home purposes, these doors benefit for a wide variety of uses, from security to technical.\n5 Takeaways That I Learned About Attics\nPrevious PostPrevious A Beginners Guide To Experts\nNext PostNext What You Should Know About Attorneys This Year",

The new business, named \u2018Hide and Seek Tots\u2019, is due to open next week and will feature an open day on the Thursday.\nThe nursery will also feature a special dining area, where parents can go to get away from the hustle and bustle of parent life and enjoy a quiet meal on their own, safe in the knowledge their children are being looked after. The restaurant will offer Portuguese themed cuisine, a favourite of the McCanns.\nParents who would like to learn from the McCanns\u2019 famed parenting techniques can also take special classes at the childminding centre, where Kate and Gerry will be teaching parents how to look after their children properly.\nOne of the classes taught at the childminding centre will be Gerry McCann\u2019s class on \u2018how to clean up a mess your child has made\u2019 \u2013 which Gerry says is a great lesson for parents and something that has served him well in the past.\nSome children playing, while their parents are in the restaurant.\nIn an exclusive interview with the Bugle, Kate McCann commented:\nSpeaking as a loving parent, I hope to pass on our knowledge to other parents so they can become as trusted role models as we are.\nThe childminding centre opens next Friday, with an open day on the Thursday so parents can experience first-hand what the McCanns\u2019 children have experienced and benefited from growing up.\nWill you be attending the open day next week?

Bring 3 children and leave with 2, what a novel idea! Really looking forward to the tapas and also the parenting classes. I really admire the mccanns. They way they dusted themselves down and threw themselves into this project is highly commendable. In fact I think the couple ought to be nominated for the Queens next b\u2019day honours. I don\u2019t know if any other couple being able to moneyspin like this pair and they\u2019re so generous as the small toy shop in the town where they live, has been on the verge of closing down for over a decade, but every year, Gerry and Kate make their pilgrimage to the shop so as to spend the funds they raised on presents for their eldest daughter which they wrap up and leave in their eldest daughters room. They don\u2019t get anything for the twins but they should be grateful for their holidays. The publishers and printers of Kate\u2019s book also did well from their generosity. Writing a book of bullshit which thousands bought, enabled many people to remain in employment. They\u2019ve also kept policemen in work when the police commissioner said jobs must go\u2026 they kindly started another round of publicity seeking on This Morning , Lorraine and Kate appeared on Loose Women and another police investigation began. I am really looking forward to Hide and Seek tots. I also heard that Kate and Gerry were thinking of fostering problem children. That\u2019s how good they are.\njay 8th January 2018 at 1:46 pm\nthats the first time i\u2019ve laughed a cup of tea through my nose :\u2019D\nLes Gaston-Johnston 5th January 2018 at 10:17 pm\nSurely this is a joke.

        "raw_content": "On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina came ashore on the US Gulf Coast and left a path of death, devastation and destruction that is unprecedented in recent US history. Government emergency services and many other relief workers have begun the long job of rescue relief and restoration. People from all over the United States and the world have offered help and have shown overwhelming generosity toward those areas and people affected by the devastation.\nIn response to this tragedy, many chiropractors have begun setting up facilities to help those who were displaced by this event, as well as those who will be involved in the massive aftermath and cleanup. This scene is strikingly similar to post 9-11 efforts, when the chiropractic profession responded by setting up free clinics at the Pentagon and Ground Zero to offer care to those workers who were involved with the massive cleanup.\nThe picture shown here documents the efforts of one newly set up facility at one of the large centers housing displaced citizens outside of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. This is only the beginning of what will be an ongoing and growing chiropractic relief effort at this center, and many more to come. At this one center alone, nine Doctors of Chiropractic have initially volunteered their time to help those affected by the storm.\nDr. Butch Sonnier, was one of a group of chiropractors who set up mobile chiropractic aid stations in and around New Orleans. He reported, \"We loaded up and then traveled into the city of New Orleans where we set up shop at several staging areas for different law enforcement groups that were working the area and adjusted several hundred more. Once we were past the checkpoints and in the area, it looked like scenes from a Hollywood disaster film. By the time we were out of the New Orleans area, we estimated that we gave approximately 1000 adjustments to refugees, guardsmen and law enforcement people in one and one half days. The docs from Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Louisiana really represented our profession with passion, love and devotion. In the short 2 days we were there, no one asked for our credentials, malpractice papers or gave us a hard time. We were welcomed with open arms and thanked profusely for our efforts. Out of the 1000 or so adjustments given, we estimated that approximately 80% were first time adjustments! Once again, thanks for the prayers and well wishes.\"\nChiropractic's great benefit at these facilities is to help those who were either displaced or who are involved in the massive cleanup. \"Those affected by this crisis are under extreme physical and emotional stress,\" said Dr. John Maltby, President of the International Chiropractors Association, (ICA). \"Chiropractic care helps these people function as best they can under these extreme circumstances.\" He continued, \"We (the ICA and local chiropractic groups) are working to expand the number and outreach of these chiropractic aid facilities throughout the stricken areas.\"",

        "raw_content": "You are here: Bible Studies The Bible Lives New Testament John John 17\nFriday, 15 May 2015 08:26\tK B Napier\nThe intensity of Jesus\u2019 words increases as His time on this earth draws to a close. He says that His time is now due because His work has been done. Later in the chapter we see that Jesus did not come to die for the world as a whole, but only for those who are elect. He specifically said it \u2013 so Arminians and Amyraldians do not have a leg to stand on! Their arguments are worthless. (Amyraldians claim that God provided a general worldwide \u2018offer\u2019 of salvation, but a specific response from the elect. See article on this, A/555 and others).\nJesus had just finished speaking to His disciples who were baffled about His words. He then looked upwards (a symbolic gesture of looking \u2018up\u2019 to Heaven) and said that His time on this earth had now come to a close. He asked the Father to glorify Him just as His coming death would glorify the Father.\nThough many, even this day, did not understand that He had total power in His hands to do whatever He wished (but kept it back because of His mission), He nevertheless had power over all mankind. He had the power also to give salvation, but ONLY to those who had already been given to Him by the Father. He is referring here to election. It is logical to say that Christ\u2019s salvation matches His choice to limit those He died for*. He defines \u201clife eternal\u201d as knowing the One True God through and in Jesus Christ, sent by the Father to die for the elect. (* Thus, Christ died for 100 and elected 100. It is as simple as that. He did NOT die for two hundred only to save 100. Such would be a ridiculous illogic).\n(In strictest terms it IS - not \u2018was\u2019 - part of God\u2019s will in eternity, which spans from no beginning and no end! That is, it always exists and has always been. This also goes for the election of some to salvation, and, obviously \u2013 but hated by many \u2013 the election of the majority to hell. It is illogical and human avoidance of truth, to say God does not elect them to damnation; it implies that God is \u2018fuzzy around the edges\u2019 when it comes to damnation, when, in reality, the effect of being unsaved is not altered by our feelings).\nNow they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.\nFor I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.\nHere, Jesus prays the fact that He preached to the disciples \u201cwhich thou gavest me\u201d, who were chosen out of their sinful state to become believers. \u201cThine they were\u201d \u2013 they were elected by God in eternity and so were given to Christ to facilitate the wider preaching goals of God. Jesus assures the Father that they now believed and were living holy lives (albeit with faltering steps). It could be argued by some that \u201cthe men\u201d refers to all men who heard Jesus. But, verse seven clearly refers to the very recent acknowledgement (possibly that same hour) by His disciples that now they understood that He knew all things (John 16:29-31). Therefore, the \u201cmen\u201d referred to had to be the disciples.\nThis is further alluded to in verse 8, where Jesus definitely speaks only of His disciples... He gave them the Father\u2019s words and they received them, knowing that He came from the Father, proving His divinity. They believed that the Father had sent the Son to them. All of this can only refer to the disciples, given chapter 16. It is true that Jesus had ALSO manifested the Father\u2019s words to all the people/men who heard Him speak, and who saw the miracles. But, the current speech was about the disciples in particular (and secondarily to all who are saved).\nAnd now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.\nThen we come to words of Jesus that totally oppose the claims of universalists/ Arminians/Amyraldians \u2013 verse 9. Jesus prayed for \u201cthem\u201d, identified ONLY as \u201cthem which thou hast given me\u201d \u2013 the disciples (and, by extension, all who believe). Jesus said He ONLY prayed for them, and NOT for the whole world. Those He prayed for were the elect, who belonged to the Father, and no-one else.\nWe can see that this confirmation/affirmation also applies to all who are elect in all of history (verse 10): \u201call mine are thine\u201d \u2013 the reciprocal arrangement between Father and Son in election, further said in \u201cand thine are mine\u201d.\nJesus then speaks as One Who is \u201cno more in the world\u201d, verse 11. He speaks of this in the past tense and yet He was still alive on earth. How can this be? It seems obvious: He had already said that His purpose for coming to earth was now completed, so, effectively, He was now no longer of this earth. It is also a statement of eternity, for in God\u2019s view whatever is going to happen has already happened, because all things are in His control and seen/known beforehand. The proposition \u2018in\u2019, en, can also be taken to mean \u2018with\u2019, so that Jesus was still alive on earth but is not aligned with it and its sinful woes.\nThe disciples, however, were still in the world; their tasks were yet to begin. Jesus asked (but already knew the positive outcome) that the Father should keep them safe, and that He should infuse them with one-ness in faith and power. This unity is not the unity commonly adopted by Christians today, whose idea of unity is only in formal agreed statements. The union and only unity of Christians is the same as the unity of Father and Son. The union of Christians should be of the same magnitude to be valid. The unity of Father and Son (and the Spirit) is unbreakable because each is the same as the other and speak the same words.\nHow many Christians today are of this type? Christians glibly and ignorantly speak of their \u2018unity\u2019, which, by comparison, is superficial and very wrong. (I have written in more detail on this unity in articles on prayer meetings). Can you honestly claim that your \u2018unity\u2019 with me and other believers is the same as the unity between Father and Son? Think hard!\nJesus again speaks in the past tense in verse 12: \u201cWhile I was with them...\u201d He kept them safe in the Father\u2019s name, so that they would become His emissaries on earth when Jesus was ascended. This ONLY applied to those given to the Son by the Father \u2013 the elect. Not one of the elect was lost. From this verse we can see that Judas Iscariot was NOT one of the elect, so was not \u2018lost\u2019, but was following his state of unbelief: \u201cthe son of perdition\u201d. His role was not as one of the elect but was part of God\u2019s eternal plan, so Christ could prove His role as Saviour. Jesus was speaking thus, so that while He was still alive on earth, the disciples might know the same joy as He had in the Father. This, too, was part of prophecy fulfilled.\nVerse 14 shows that \u2018word\u2019 is not \u2018Word\u2019 (with a capital W: see article A-087 on this difference). Rather, \u201cI have given them they word\u201d can be paraphrased as \u2018The Word (Christ) has given them your word/teachings and commands\u2019. Very few Christians understand the difference, let alone pastors and preachers!\nUnbelievers hated the disciples because, like Himself, they were not of their kind \u2013 unforgiven sinners (the world). In this text Jesus uses the present tense \u2013 they are already \u201cnot of the world\u201d. In this sense, Christians are \u201cnot of the world\u201d and though living IN the world they are already partly in the Heavenly realm and not OF this world, as Jesus was and is. Paul taught something similar.\nThough Jesus knew of the hardships and hatred to be imposed on the disciples and other followers (even to this day) He did not ask the Father to remove them from the world, but that he should, rather, keep them safe from Satan and those who hated them. Are we not in the same position today? To be more precise Jesus asked the Father to \u2018keep\u2019 them, the verb t\u0113re\u014d; to keep them in their holy condition and to be guarded from enemies. This should be our own prayer.\nJesus then repeated His statement that neither they nor He were \u201cof the world\u201d. He asked that the Father should sanctify them through His truth. To sanctify is to separate them from sin and to consecrate them to God and holiness; they were to be dedicated to the things of God. This is how all of us must be as believers... not \u2018should be\u2019 but MUST be! They and we are sanctified through the truth of God. We are told how we find this truth \u2013 in God\u2019s word (for us, the Bible). The words of scripture ARE God\u2019s truth. Read and place in your heart! Let their meaning fill your very soul and let your spirit be guided by the Holy Spirit within.\nVerse 18 tells us that the work of Jesus was the same as that of the disciples, in that both shared the task of preaching the Gospel. Because the disciples were to be sanctified, Jesus sanctified Himself. Thus, both were dedicated to the things of God. Because Jesus was sanctified, His sanctification was passed on to His followers as an authentic state.\nAs I said earlier, Jesus\u2019 prayer for the disciples was also meant, by extension, for all believers (verse 20). This is how I know that the words of Jesus were not localised to the 12, but were for all believers throughout all of time... and this includes gifts, which appear not to have been rescinded or available for only a short time, even though they are much restricted today. (I reject the false charismatic idea of gifts).\nThe link between disciples/us and the unity of Father and Son is formidable. It can only point to one thing \u2013 the need for absolute holiness, for Father and Son are themselves absolutely holy. The silly and frivolous saying, that \u201cIf you find a perfect church, don\u2019t join it\u201d, should be highlighted as unbiblical and sinful. We are CALLED to be perfect and holy! No alternatives are given: it is an imperative command.\nThe words \u201cI in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one\u201d indicate an absolute requirement, and shows the fully integrated nature of Christians with Christ and the Father. Though we sin, our relationship and intentions are just as absolute. Only by openly showing this God-Man relationship of holiness can Christians prove to the world what they claim \u2013 that Christ was sent to save and love His own, and that the Father loves Christ.\nJesus further prays that the disciples (and again, by extension, us), the elect, will be with Him in Heaven. \u201cWhere I am\u201d can also refer to His eternal position as Lord of all who obey and are elect. In this way, we can know God\u2019s glory, the same glory belonging to the Son before Creation.\nThe \u201cworld\u201d (in this context, unsaved sinners) did not know the Father. In this case He was mainly talking about Israel, who knew the outward form and the Torah, but did not have a personal relationship with the Father. Even so, the people of Israel who believed (here talking about the disciples) now knew Jesus was sent by the Father, so were \u2018legitimised\u2019 by His relationship with the Father (just as they were).\nJesus had declared His Name; that is, He told them everything about God\u2019s nature, and would continue to do so, through the Holy Spirit. In this way the disciples would know and share in the love of the Father for the Son, and the Son for them (and, again by extension, for us also). The words agap\u0113 (feminine noun) and agapa\u014d (verb) are used in this verse. (Another mistake by Christians \u2013 always assuming that every word for \u2018love\u2019 is agap\u0113!).",

The Gospel is good news and Christians are called to proclaim the message of Jesus Christ to every nation.\nIn a world where the headlines on newspapers and the images on the nightly news are filled with bad news, Christianity proclaims the best news the world has ever heard!\nThe Gospel proclaims there is life everlasting, there is forgiveness of sins, there is hope in despair, there is peace in turmoil, there is power to change and there is meaning to life \u2013 and it is all through Jesus Christ! Trusting not in ourselves for salvation, but in the atonement of Christ on the cross, Christians proclaim a message of salvation by grace through faith.\nThe Bible says\u2026 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. -Romans 5:6-8\nFor it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast. -Ephesians 2:8-9\nMy dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defense - Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world. -1 John 2:1-2\nAll who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written: \"Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.\" Clearly no one is justified before God by the law, because, \"The righteous will live by faith.\" -Galatians 3:10-11\nThis is the good news of our faith. Christianity is not about a demonstration of what we can do for God, but a proclamation of what God has done for us. Due to our sin, rebellious humanity deserves the wrath of God. But because of His mercy, God sent His only son Jesus Christ into the world to redeem those who put their trust in him.\nWe ask you to choose Jesus today! Believe in Him as your Savior and Lord. Turn from your sin, return to the Father and receive the eternal life only Jesus can give.",

        "raw_content": "Home Comment Looking back at 2017\nGigglingGigi, Flickr\nThe idea that 2016 was a bad year is not an especially new one; from the deaths of prominent celebrities to political developments causing society to become increasingly divided, there was a general consensus that 2017 could only get better. However, my own experience over the last 12 months started with a general malaise and more than anything, the first half of this year felt confused and sluggish.\nIn a strange way, I saw this same pattern reflected on the political stage as the year went on. The snap-election was called to provide a definitive answer to Britain\u2019s political divisions; if the Conservatives won then they would\nhave a clear mandate to handle Brexit negotiations while if Labour won then they could have begun an ambitious and controversial program of anti-austerity reforms. Instead of a clear outcome, the result was a Tory government propped up by a national party that most voters could only form an opinion on based off their Wikipedia page.\nHowever, my first indication that the global stage may be improving came with the tidal wave of allegations against Hollywood stars and high-ranking politicians. These allegations are being treated extremely seriously is a sign that society is finally moving in the right direction. These offences existed as \u2018open secrets\u2019 for decades but only in 2017 have they finally come to public attention.\nWhile the idea of harassment in Hollywood and Westminster being taken seriously may not seem particularly uplifting, it is incredibly important that these issues can finally be the subject of public scrutiny.\n2017 may not have been the perfect year to serve as a palate- cleanser after the train-wreck of 2016, but I am cautiously optimistic that 2018 will see the continuation of the upward trend that started towards the end of this year. Besides, I hear there\u2019s going to be a wedding\u2026\nPrevious articleGive someone a book this Christmas\nNext articleBelieve the hype, it\u2019s the best bit",

        "raw_content": "AndroGel Lawsuit Plaintiffs Ask for Creation of Federal MDL in the Northern District of Illinois\nWith roughly 30 cases over AndroGel now pending in the Northern District of Illinois, plaintiffs have requested that all similar testosterone lawsuit filings be transferred there for pretrial proceedings, court documents indicate.\nIn a brief filed on March 28th, 2014, plaintiffs in these cases assert that a federal multidistrict litigation (MDL) in the U.S. District Court, Northern District of Illinois is necessary for claims filed over the hormone-raising therapy, given that the number of AndroGel-related suits may be on the rise. They go on say that centralizing these claims, which similarly allege the risk for strokes, heart attacks, blood clots and other injuries caused by the testosterone treatment therapy, will help to conserve the resources of the court in handling thousands of lawsuits that may be filed in the future. According to AndroGel lawsuit plaintiffs, additional cases have also been filed in federal jurisdictions in Pennsylvania and Colorado.\nCourt records indicate that the recent brief, which was submitted to the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML), follows an Order on March 14th from the Executive Committee of the U.S. District Court, Northern District of Illinois that all claims filed in the jurisdiction be consolidated before a single judge.\nAndroGel Lawsuits Allege Strokes, Heart Attacks and other Injuries\nIt is noteworthy to add that all AndroGel lawsuits currently pending in Illinois federal court were filed after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced in January 2014 that it was reviewing certain \u201cLow T\u201d testosterone therapy treatments. Plaintiffs in cases over AndroGel allege that it was aggressively marketed by its manufacturer as a treatment for low libido, fatigue, and other symptoms associated with aging, causing it to be prescribed to men without a serious medical need. Their suits point out that \u201cLow T\u201d treatments like AndroGel are only approved by the FDA to treat low testosterone levels in conjunction with a serious medical condition, such as hypogonadism.\nIn addition to cases over AndroGel, the medication, Testim is also now involved in several testosterone lawsuits. Court records indicate that two claims were filed in March 2014 in the U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Pennsylvania, and another was filed on February 26th in California federal court.\nIf you were prescribed AndroGel, Testim or another \u201cLow T\u201d treatment therapy, you may be eligible to file a claim against its manufacturer.

I\u2019m working up the nerve to write a a series on health insurance that will doubtless infuriate everyone, but since I\u2019m also furious, I guess it factors out. Stay tuned.\nHBO is making no friends with their current stunt, which was to harrass a 13-year-old girl for posting a painting entitled \u201cWinter Is Coming.\u201d The painting has nothing whatsoever to do with Game of Thrones, as any fool with three brain cells could tell. Granted, it may be like me giving up whisky for lent, but it\u2019ll be a cold day in hell before I ever give HBO a nickle. I\u2019m a little surprised this hasn\u2019t gone more viral than it has; give it a hand if you can.\nWhy did we move to Phoenix? Lots of reasons, but this recent video set from Montreal is the biggie: Frozen water liquefies on compression, greatly reducing the coefficient of friction. In simpler terms, when it snows, heavy stuff runs into other heavy stuff, and makes lots of broken stuff, including (in this case) a snowplow trying to stuff a police car into the hind-end of a city bus.\nNot that Colorado Springs is immune to such things. Here\u2019s our entry. And Part 2. Be careful with your speakers; the narrator is, um, free with his language.\nAnd here\u2019s the reason we didn\u2019t move to North Dakota, not that that was ever a possibility. Hell, I\u2019ve already done my time in Chicago.\nWe\u2019ve just seen the steepest drop in global temps since record-keeping began, almost certainly due to the end of the near-record El Nino we\u2019ve been having. A temperature spike is not climate. It\u2019s weather. What El Nino gives, La Nina takes away.\nSF writers, heads up: Here\u2019s one of the best sites I\u2019ve ever seen on advanced rocket tech, much of which was completely new to me.\nArticles like these can get tiresome if you\u2019re not an enthusiast, but I continue to post them because we need to break people of the government-forged assumption that fat is bad for you. Eating more fat may help you lose weight, depending on the specifics of your metabolism. It certainly did for me. That said, making universal statements is impossible because of individual differences in human beings. As I said in my metadiet picobook, you are the experiment. Do the science.\nAnd another: Butter won\u2019t hurt you. Margarine could kill you. New science shows animal fats to be harmless, but when you get to the end, read carefully: The supposed health experts in the UK simply reject the science out of hand, because to do otherwise would require them to admit that they\u2019re wrong. Experts never do that, because if they did, it would mean that they\u2019ve been fake experts all along. (Thanks to UK reader Dermot Dobson for the link.)\nI call this sort of thing a sarcalisticle, and here\u2019s one about the Republic (not the state) of Georgia. I\u2019m interested in Georgia because it\u2019s the world center of medical bacteriophage research. There may be a local-color thriller in that, involving a near future in which we\u2019re confronted by a bacterial plague that defies all antibiotics. I hadn\u2019t given any thought to actually going there, but I admit, the pictures make it look pretty good. Lonely Planet has more photos and additional information.\nHere\u2019s yet another way that Obamacare is screwing patients: Insurers publish lists of in-network providers, and those lists are often hideously inaccurate. There are rules governing directory accuracy, and those rules are rarely enforced. My solution: Require providers to remain on a network list for five years after signing up for it, and pull the licenses of providers who refuse to treat patients who are in-network according to the current directory. Better, fine insurers heavily (I\u2019m talking many millions of dollars per error) for leaving errors in their directories. Better still: Forget networks (which are just back-door care rationing anyway) and go back to the days of \u201cany willing provider.\u201d\nNarrow networks can be so narrow that for some patients, care is impossibly far away. To me, this is serious insurance fraud. Somebody should do hard time. I nominate Jonathan Gruber.\nAlthough I generally don\u2019t do politics, ESR published a brilliant essay about the recent election that I think needs to be read in its entirety by both sides, keeping in mind that he is not a Republican. (Neither am I; there are such creatures as political independents in the world, really. In fact, I\u2019m pretty sure that independents decided the recent election.)\nThe House Is Ours!\nI offer you this photo, the first of us standing in front of our new front door. Taken by Elva Weissmann, Realtor Extraordinaire, without whom I doubt we would have found it at all.\nAnd now the real work starts. First task: Free our new gargoyles from the deadly embrace of the catsclaw vines. That should happen tomorrow.\nI have other things of some importance to write about. Nobody has yet written about the true and lasting legacy of the Sad Puppies, so I guess I\u2019ll just have to do it. Give me a couple of days and all will become clear.\nI\u2019ve been away a long time. Sorry about that. We bought a house\u2026at least three months earlier than we expected to.\nAs you may recall, Carol and I drove down to Phoenix back in May for two weeks in order to interview neighborhoods for a winter place. We hadn\u2019t intended to look at individual properties, but after meeting a local real estate agent during a walk through one of Phoenix\u2019s parks, we decided to accelelerate the process, and saw ten or twelve homes before we ran out of time.\nElva Weissman (who is perhaps the single most expert and energetic agent we\u2019ve ever worked with) plugged our parameters into her MLS portal as a sort of stored query, and the system has been emailing us listings for a couple of months now. We jotted down a short list of properties we wanted to look at during our planned August trip, including a couple that stood out, one in particular in the NE corner of Phoenix that checked more of our boxes than nearly any other. It was about $50K too expensive by my reckoning, but it was at the top of our list as the closest match so far. We figured if it was still listed in August we\u2019d arrange a showing. We were also following another strange and wondrous house that had a patio and a swimming pool right smack in the middle, with the rooms arranged in a rough pentagon all around them. That one sold about a month ago, but it was very cool.\nThen, on July 7, the seller cut the price by\u2026$50K. Suddenly the house was dead-center in the crosshairs. Carol and I looked at one another, ground our teeth for a minute, and then got on the phone to arrange a trip in record time. By that Saturday morning we were on a plane, and on Sunday morning we were walking through a 3000 ft2 one-level Southwestern midcentury ranch, which had been gutted to the walls and rebuilt in 2003. I gulped. This was a winner. I took some notes and some pictures, and we walked through another three or four properties that same day. All those other houses just pointed up how close we had already come to a perfect match. By the end of the day we had submitted an offer. 24 hours later, the seller accepted it. We were both nervous wrecks. But hey, do the math with us:\nIt\u2019s all on one level, and (like all of north Phoenix) over a mile lower in altitude than Phage House here in Colorado Springs. My lowest blood oxygen reading there was higher than my highest here.\nIt\u2019s on over 5/8 of an acre, with 75\u2033 block walls on two of three sides of the backyard.\nIt has a separate one-car garage to serve as a workshop. I may build a bigger shop later on, but for the time being, as soon as I have an AC unit installed, it will do.\nThere is no homeowner\u2019s association, and having been built in 1966, the deed restrictions are simple and mostly concern setbacks. There is no mention of antennas whatsoever, and there are guys within a block or two with 50\u2032 towers and rotatable beams.\nThe back yard has a great deal of vegetation (including several ginormous palm trees) but nothing with thorns. Carol and I did thorns when we lived near Cave Creek in the \u201990s, thank you very much. No more.\nIt has a small walled courtyard with a newish 6-person hot tub.\nIt has a gorgeous PebbleTec pool with a gas heater and a granite-rock waterfall. There is room for a solar pool heater, which is in our five-year plan.\nIt has a nice 25-bottle wine fridge and a huge standalone freezer.\nIt has a dedicated fenced dog run, with a doggie door into the laundry room.\nIt has a huge tiled great room spanning 40 feet at its greatest extent. Good party house.\nIt has a pair of gargoyles to either side of the front courtyard gate. Or at least there will be when we cut enough of the vines down so you can actually see them.\nThe leaded glass design in the front door looks like it has a little Space Invaders guy at the center.\nThe walk-in closets (like all the ceilings) are ten feet high, with three ranks of clothes bars, one right at the top. They\u2019ll hold a great deal, but you have to fish your less-often-worn shirts down with a hookie thing on a long wooden handle.\nThe pool still needs a fence, to keep doggies out of it.\nThe walls around the yard and front courtyard are covered with some as-yet-unidentified thornless (whew) creeper vines that shed foot-long bean-ish seed pods.\nIt\u2019s no longer $50K overpriced, but it was still $50K more than we had hoped to spend. Ahh, well.\nThere\u2019s a grapefruit tree. I like grapefruit a lot, but I can\u2019t eat them on one of the meds I\u2019m now taking. Bummer. Maybe someday.\nIt has a gigantic wet bar in the corner of the great room with an icemaker, a fridge, and a two-keg beer keg cooler and taps.\nIt\u2019s painted dark gray.\nSo as you can tell, the pros win by a Phoenix mile. Most of the cons can be fixed. In fact, we\u2019ve already talked to Keith\u2019s handyman, who says he can get rid of the mirrors behind the wet bar without much trouble. Whether we should keep the wet bar itself is something I won\u2019t know until we throw a couple of parties. Such a thing might well be handy for buffet dinners. The beer taps will have to go, though. I have a reputation to maintain.\nAs I\u2019ve already told my inner circle, the real work starts now. We\u2019re going from 4400 ft2 to 3000. I will have nothing like my 12 foot high library wall with rolling ladder. We will have to manage two houses for at least a year, while we get Phage House ready to sell. I\u2019m already throwing stuff in boxes to give Rescued Hearts, and our trash can is getting a workout every week.\nWe may well keep a (small) place here in Colorado, but what and where we just can\u2019t know yet.\nAs for everything else, stay tuned. I had hoped to mount several ebooks (including The Cunning Blood) before the end of July. Not going to happen, sigh. May not happen in August, either. We\u2019ll see. But the cover art for Ten Gentle Opportunities is going to be spectacular. A novella I\u2019m calling Fire Drill is growing in the back of my head and starting to hammer on the inside of my skull to be let out. I really really want to be a writer again. The word \u201ctriage\u201d looms large in my near future.\nWhatever. With Carol by my side and an extra-large economy-size jar of Aleve on the shelf, we can do it. Gonna be a wild ride but a good one, trust me.",

        "raw_content": "Sep 8 (First) Ladies First\nBehind every president, with the exception of James Buchanan, there has been a strong first lady helping her husband deal with the pressure and problems inherent in running the country.\nOn July 18, 1940, Eleanor Roosevelt became the first first lady to give a speech at a national nominating convention. This front and center, national level appearance on behalf of FDR, during her husband's third campaign for the presidency, is a tradition that lives on today.\nAt their respective political conventions, Ann Romney and Michelle Obama each tried to humanize their husbands, to explain why they were better than the alternative, and to appeal to female voters.\nWhen comparing the two speeches, Michelle Obama drives all three points home more effectively than Ann Romney. The first lady was able to truly humanize her husband with stories of his childhood, his struggles with student loans, and his achievements in office. She was also able to make the speech relatable to women of all classes, ages, and backgrounds touching on issues that apply to each group.\nMrs. Romney on the other hand delivered her speech well, but there were fewer stories. Overall her speech was a little heavy handed in the approach to gain the votes of women \u2014 at one point she shouted \"I love you women.\" Mrs. Romney focused most heavily on middle class women who keep the home. While Mrs. Romney did try to appeal to other demographics she first singled out parents by only talking about issues in relation to family and mostly in relation to children. Then she singled out women with \u201cIt's the moms who always have to work a little harder, to make everything right.\u201d She tried to reach all demographics of mother \u201cIt's the moms of this nation \u2014 single, married, widowed \u2014 who really hold this country together. We're the mothers, we're the wives, we're the grandmothers, we're the big sisters, we're the little sisters, we're the daughters.\u201d In contrast, Mrs. Obama touched on topics that related to many if not all demographics and seemed more at ease with the text and tenor of her speech. When she discussed growing up with her working class parents and her story of having more student loan debt when she first got married than mortgage debt surely struck a chord with many listeners. She also acknowledged \"that so many people had a hand in our success, from the teachers who inspired us to the janitors who kept our school clean ... and we were taught to value everyone's contribution and treat everyone with respect.\u201d\nCampaigns that include the wives of the candidates often lighten the tone and galvanize the female electorate. If a campaign chooses to do this then the speech should address issues that are important to the campaign as a whole but also those issues which are more particular to the demographic being appealed to. This basic logic means that in a campaign that has seen, both in the primary season and the national campaign, women's reproductive rights as a front and center issue one would expect Ann Romney to at least reference them.\nNow I am not saying that the entire speech should have been focused on the issue of women's health care rights, but the issue should have at least paid it lip service. Ann Romney's commentary would presumably have taken the opposite side, but it would have been interesting to hear an educated woman try to defend the RNC platform or even her own husband's stated opinions on insurance coverage for birth control, the availability of abortion, or even just the availability of cancer screening and prenatal care as provided by Planned Parenthood and other worthy organizations.\nOne can make the argument that Mrs. Romney stayed away from the issue all together and Mrs. Obama was mostly avoiding the issue as well because both campaigns would rather focus on the economy. But this issue has been so controversial lately because both other politicians (remember Senator Santorum during the primaries, and Senator Akin most recently) and the public want to discuss it. These campaigns cannot avoid this issue just because they want to focus on other topics, especially with the links Vice President Nominee Paul Ryan has to recent bills such as the Sanctity of Life Act of 2009. And let's not forget his rape is just another \"method of conception\" gaffe.\nann romney, Danielle Fong, democratic convention, michelle obama, Republican convention, Web Columns\nSep 10 Political Minutes: Touring a Tense Manhattanville",

In particular, the students of this course should develop a front-end compiler for ALLCOT. The intermediate representation (i.e. the target language) will be a subset of the C language.\nThe name ALLCOT stands for A Language for Learning COmpiler Theory. and refers to the ALDOR programming language (A Language for Describing Objects and Relationships) developed at ORCCA. The ALLCOT language is largely inspired from ALDOR, but as a teaching language, the features of ALLCOT are very limited comparing to those of ALDOR.\nThis document is evolving and the remaining sections show the development of the specifications of the ALLCOT language. Sections 1, 2 and 3 were part of the original draft. They give an overview of the language. However, Section 3 evolved as Students implemented their first YACC parsers for ALLCOT. The changes related to the language (resolving inconsistencies, language extensions ...) are reported in Section 5 and Section 6 whereas those related to the grammar for statements are reported in Section 4.\nIn order to realize an ALLCOT compiler, one needs to clarify the specifications of the built-in types and the inheritance mechanism.

        "raw_content": "Foolkiller 2010\nWritten: Monday, July 5, 2010\nHi Team FARA fans! We mentioned a few weeks ago that Team FARA is not only for cycling, the Team extends to anyone who wants to make progress for the cause...so meet Team Foolkiller:\n\"In September 2008, just before her 13th birthday, our daughter, sister, and friend, Grace, was diagnosed with Friedreich\u2019s Ataxia (FA), a degenerative neurological disease for which there is presently no treatment or cure. The diagnosis came after several years of trying to find out what was causing Grace\u2019s balance and gait problems. Finally, a genetic test at Mass General confirmed what the doctors suspected. The news was life-changing for each of us in the Hopkins family. We found out everything we could about FA, and none of what we learned was encouraging. We learned that Grace can expect to be in a wheelchair within a few years, gradually lose her abilities to move, speak and see and to develop a heart disease which is often fatal for FA-ers at a young age. We found out that FA is a very rare disease and is sort of like winning the multi-state lottery, as far as the odds go.\nWe learned some good things, however. We learned to have strength in our family and our faith. We learned that we have the best family, friends and neighbors one could hope for. We learned about the FA Parents Group, where we have met the most courageous and generous people God produces, and where we can share our experiences, joys and sorrows. And we learned about FARA \u2013 the Friedreich\u2019s Ataxia Research Alliance \u2013 a group of far-seeing and dedicated folks who are providing real hope for FA-ers through funding some very promising research and treatment avenues, some of which are in clinical trial phase right now. FARA consists of FA-ers and their families and friends who together have put us on the road towards understanding and beating this disease. But it is a race \u2013 for Grace and for all FA-ers waiting for a treatment and, hopefully, a cure. That is why it is so important to help out at this time.\nOne of the ways we decided to help is through an idea my neighbor, Web Barrett, came up with. We had been hiking the White Mountains every summer for the past few years \u2013 Web, myself(Tom), Web\u2019s son, Kyle, and Francis. We started with Mount Washington and have covered a few additional 4,000\u2019 + peaks since. (Web\u2019s done most of them already a few times over). This year, we decided to turn the climb into an opportunity to raise awareness and fund research for a cure for FA, by raising the FA banner over at least five 4,000\u2019 peaks. We decide to name the climb the \u201cFoolKiller 2010,\u201d after one of the peaks. This year Clare will round out our five member Team FARA. Our five member team will be hiking 5-8 mountains, all over 4,000 feet, within five days and four nights.\nYou can help out with a generous tax-deductible donation to FARA, by clicking here:\nhttps://sna.etapestry.com/fundraiser/FriedreichsAtaxiaResearchA/teamfara/team.do?participationRef=968.0.194552948\nAlso, check out our other sites sites:\nhttp://sites.google.com/site/teamfarafoolkiller2010/home/grace\nFor more information on FA and FARA you can visit: http://www.curefa.org/\"",

        "raw_content": "An Introduction To The Euro Currency Exchange Rate\nYou will find that almost every country has their own type of currency or money. The exchange of money or currencies will take place when at least two countries do business together. Since each country has its own amount that their currency is worth there has to be a rate of exchange to make the other countries money of the same value. If you were to try to pay your food bill at a restaurant in Britain with US dollars your money would be refused. You would have to take your money and trade it for the currency that is used in Britain. This is known as the foreign exchange.\nEuro is the name for currency that is used in the European Monetary Union (EMU). It is a replacement for the ECU or European Currency Unit. An easy way to explain the euro to dollar rate of exchange is to say that it is the amount or price that the world demand for United States dollars is equal to the supply in the world for euros. It doesn't matter what area or geographical origin it comes from. If there is a rise in the demand for euros it will lead to the euros increased appreciation as reflected in the international Euro currency rate.\nYou will find that there are many factors that can have an effect on the Euro currency market. The four most common factors are known as the fundamental determinants of the dollar to the real Euro foreign currency rate of exchange.\nThe actual cost or price of oil The relative fiscal position The differential of the international real interest rate The non- traded and traded goods sectors relative prices\nThe exchange rate that appears to get the most attention, would be the nominal bilateral dollar to euro exchange. It has been shown, that trading with the UK, is of more importance to the euro zone then links of euro to US dollar bilateral trade. Even though the euro and the US dollar share a strong predisposition of running together, in the short term there are still discrepancies that can be significant. One fine example of this would be the fact that in 2003 there was a very strong appreciation of the US dollar verses the euro.\nIf you are planning to travel to European areas then you will want to have some of your traveling money exchanged for Euro so you will be able to pay for things in the proper manner. You can check with the foreign exchange offices in your areas to get the current Euro rate of exchange. When you return to your home country you can then exchange your foreign money to the currency of your country. You will want to check what the going rate of exchange is so you know what your money is worth when you travel as the rate of exchange can vary.",

        "raw_content": "The courts launched the online probate application service in 2018 and it has recently been rolled out to the general public and executors seeking to \u201cDIY\u201d probate. According to the courts service the probate process is now \u201csimpler and easier\u201d as people can now apply for probate from the comfort of their own home. But is this truly a move in the right direction?\nA Grant of Probate is usually needed when someone dies who owns property, or significant assets. Traditionally, many people have turned to lawyers for assistance at these difficult times, or at least needed to visit a solicitor or commissioner to swear an oath as part of the probate process. But the new online service now available removes the need for a lawyer\u2019s assistance at any stage, as the application can simply be done online and oaths have been replaced with Statements of Truth that no longer require a solicitor or commissioner to swear them.\nHowever, whilst the new system certainly may make the process easier to obtain a Grant, it will not assist everyone and will not provide some executors with the assistance and advice they need.\nThe first problem with the new probate online service is it is only available for the simplest of estates, and cannot be used in cases where:\nThere is no Will (intestacy) \u2013 although this will be brought in in future\nThe original Will is missing\nIf the person who has died was not domiciled in England and Wales.\nWhere the executors do not get on and are not willing to apply jointly.\nIn order to use the online service, you will also be required to complete an Inheritance Tax return prior to the online probate application. If you don\u2019t know where the Will is, or only have a copy, aren\u2019t quite sure how to complete an Inheritance Tax return, or there is a dispute between the appointed executors, there can be huge risks in applying for a Grant of Probate online, without having taken proper advice.\nAnother issue of the online system, is the lack of assistance and support it provides people with. By applying online, executors will no longer be getting the advice that lawyers should be giving to any person applying to probate. Executors will no longer be asked \u2018Have you taken all the necessary steps to ensure this is the original Will? Has the correct type of Inheritance Tax return form been completed? Have you taken all necessary steps to identify any assets you may not be aware of? How can you as executor limit being personally liable for any claims against the estate once you\u2019ve got your Grant of Probate?\u2019\nIan Bond , chair of the Law Society\u2019s Wills and Equity committee has said that the online system \u201cabsolutely has its place and can be a great tool for administering simple estates. However more complex estates can quickly become difficult to administer and many members of the public are unaware that they can find themselves personally liable for any mistakes they make\u201d. Ultimately his advice was \u201c\u2018If in doubt over any complex probate issues, it is always best to consult a professional to ensure the estate is administered properly\u201d.\nWorryingly, the Probate application fees are also still due to change this April, to a graded system where probate fees will increase in line with the size of the estate, with a maximum fee of \u00a36,000 being payable. As the process to complete the forms at home coincides with the increase in fees, the temptation for some executors to incorrectly declare assets in estates for Inheritance Tax purposes to avoid higher probate fees may result in Executors facing penalties and interest as well as additional tax. These are areas in which executors would have received advice, and assistance in the past when using a probate lawyer.\nIn a world that is increasingly litigious, executors who may decide to take advantage of the new online service may do so not realising the potential for claims to be brought against them personally, and therefore as a result of the online service, we may see more and more contentious probate claims being brought against Executors who are not aware of their duties and responsibilities to the estate and its administration. Executors who are named in Wills may not realise the various options available to them, including whether or not to act, or steps they can take to reduce their personal liability.\nFor now, we will continue to see how the new system works and whether we will see an increase in claims against estates and issues or rectifications when Grants of Probate go wrong. Just because something has been made easier for some, does not mean it is better for everyone!",

        "raw_content": "This interview with Peter Hook was conducted by Dave Haslam in September 2007 at Peter\u2019s home, around the time the film \u2018Control\u2019 was about to be released, and some of it was used in an XFM podcast. It appears here for the first time in a raw, unedited form. Students, journalists etc; please acknowledge the source (www.davehaslam.com) of any quotes taken from here.\nSo, when you are out and about DJing around the world, you must come across Joy Division fans all over?\nErm, yes sometimes it does surprise me. What always makes me laugh is that we never did t-shirts for Joy Division and yet everywhere you go in the world you see Joy Division t-shirts. We actually got fined by the taxman once because he wouldn\u2019t believe us that we didn\u2019t do them, he said \u201cWell I see them everywhere so I\u2019m fining you accordingly.\u201d Which he did do. Everywhere you go you see these Joy Division t-shirts and they\u2019re not ours.\nHow do these people explain their devotion, what is it about the band that makes the appeal travel all round the world?\nI don\u2019t suppose its about the band really is it, it\u2019s about the music. And the thing is that I suppose luckily \u2013 which is purely by fate, it wasn\u2019t by design \u2013 the music has lasted. And the thing is what I do, when I get a piece of great music is that I play it to people that I think will appreciate it. So what you\u2019ve got is people playing Joy Division tracks to each other because they think that their friends will appreciate it, it perpetuates all the time.\nIt does amaze me sometimes; my daughter was telling me that when she went to university that when the girls all meet up in the dorm they help each other you know, get the rooms ready, it\u2019s part of the thing, and she said she went in with this girl from Ireland who was putting her posters up and said \u201cWill you give me a hand putting my posters up?\u201d and my daughter went in with this girl and she was putting her Joy Division poster up on the wall and my daughter went \u201cOh my dad\u2019s in that band\u201d and this girl went \u201cYou WHAT?!!\u201d and she went completely to pieces, and yet my daughter was like \u201cWhat\u2019s the big deal, it\u2019s just me dad you know!\u201d And I suppose it\u2019s because people like me don\u2019t appreciate the effect that music like that can have on other people, and like my daughter won\u2019t appreciate the awe that someone might hold because to her it\u2019s just her dad, you know, the daft bugger who\u2019d lies in bed on a Sunday morning reading a paper, you know.\nThe fact that it\u2019s got longevity, it just happened. It was the perfect example of chemistry between four people creating something that\u2019s lasted. And I suppose one of the wonderful things about it is that none of us wanted that; it just happened.\nAnd the other thing is that people talk about Joy Division being a Manchester band, but there\u2019s people who\u2019ve never been to England, never been to Manchester, can still really relate to it. It\u2019s that international thing, I know someone who was born near a beach in Venezuela and she can hardly speak English, but \u201cJoy Deebizzeeon\u201d is like her favourite ever band.\nWell I don\u2019t know what it is, I didn\u2019t go into it knowing what I was doing, I think if I\u2019d known what I was doing I probably wouldn\u2019t have done any of it to be honest. I think you just did it because you had to do it; that does sound quite bizarre, but the way that people like me write music is by not knowing what they are doing, they just go in and do it. You know, I watch Mani do it, I watch Andy Rourke do it, they just do it, and that is quite weird. But it\u2019s something that we take for granted you know, and you don\u2019t think, \u201cI\u2019m going to write a piece of music now that lasts for thirty years\u201d you just don\u2019t do that you know, and when you was sat in TJ Davidson\u2019s rehearsal studio, it was just an old warehouse! Freezing your balls off, you didn\u2019t really think that the song that took you two hours to write would last for 30 years you know. You just don\u2019t do you?\nAnd obviously the other thing is that you would never have envisaged is the films that have been made. \u201924 Hour Party People\u2019 and now \u2018Control\u2019, are you sort of getting used to this?\nWell we haven\u2019t had that many! It\u2019s a great compliment, isn\u2019t it? I mean and it\u2019s an even greater compliment that someone\u2019s making a film about you while you\u2019re even alive! It\u2019s weird, it\u2019s just odd. It is odd, I mean I\u2019m going down to London tomorrow for the premiere of \u2018Control\u2019, and I\u2019ve seen it three times now, I did a presentation for it and DJ\u2019d after the Athens premiere and it\u2019s funny how much it still affects me even though I\u2019ve seen it. Anton\u2019s managed to tune it into to me as well which I find quite odd. You know, \u201924 Hour Party People\u2019 I could take as it was \u2013 it was a bit like reading a comic book version of events \u2013 but when I watched \u2018Control\u2019 its more tuned in to me, it upsets me every time, and I didn\u2019t expect that someone would get that, but Anton\u2019s managed to do it, which is strange. But no, it\u2019s funny. I mean, one of the great things about my job is that it\u2019s really wacky, and really unusual things happen to me all the time and that\u2019s great! And I love it for that, and this is just another aspect of when I picked up that guitar in 1977, you know, it\u2019s led me to this.\nAnd when you picked up the bass guitar did you have an idea that you were going to, I mean the way you play bass, and I\u2019m not a musician at all, but the bass plays a much bigger part in the Joy Division sound, you know it\u2019s kind of the main melodic instrument in a lot of the songs in a way that you don\u2019t get in punk\u2026\nI know, I was lucky there, wasn\u2019t I?!\nWhat was the genesis of that Hooky bass style?\nWell, it came about through necessity really, because Bernard\u2019s amp was so loud that I couldn\u2019t hear myself play in the rehearsal room, and the only way I could hear myself play was to play high on the bass because that cut through and you could hear it. And Ian just picked up on it and said \u201cThat sounds really good when you play high and he plays low chords, rhythm or block chords\u201d or whatever, and it was through that discovery that he did \u2018She\u2019s Lost Control\u2019 and \u2018Insight\u2019 and \u2018Twenty Four Hours\u2019, they were all done like that. And it was mainly down to him hearing something that he liked. I mean that was Ian\u2019s role really; that he didn\u2019t write music but that he heard it and he would stop us and go \u201cThat was really good that, really good\u201d you know, and \u201cDo that and you do that\u201d and \u201cSteve, out some drums to this like you do on the other one\u201d and you know it was like that, he was like the orchestra leader, which was why when he did go, you know it left us floundering a lot, trying to find our way really because we didn\u2019t have someone orchestrating it, I suppose.\nDid you audition other singers for the band that you and Bernard were in before Ian came along, and what was it about Ian that got him the job?\nYeah, it\u2019s funny this because I was watching the Joy Division documentary recently, which is called \u2018Joy Division\u2019 and our American manager\u2019s done it which is an amazing thing because I\u2019d never heard Bernard talk about Joy Division, and Steve because they just don\u2019t, we just don\u2019t, unless we\u2019re doing interviews and to watch them talk about it in great detail as they do on the Joy Division documentary is quite interesting, it\u2019s a perfect counterpart to the \u2018Control\u2019 film funnily enough.\nBernard says that Ian phoned up to be the singer which I don\u2019t remember. I remember it that we used to bump into Ian all the time when we were out, and punk bands were \u2013 or our idea of a punk band \u2013 one guitarist, one bass player, one drummer, one singer \u2013 and we didn\u2019t want to deviate from that. So we had a guitarist and a bass player, and Ian\u2019s band had a guitarist and a drummer, which meant that we couldn\u2019t get together because we had the guitarists in the way, you see. So we were talking about the bands for quite a while and it wasn\u2019t until Ian\u2019s guitarist had left that we could talk about getting together, which was how I had thought we had got together. Bernard remembered it completely differently, which was quite spooky!\nAnd we got together then, when Ian\u2019s band lost their guitarist, and we went to join up but we lost the drummer on the way so Ian joined Bernard and I, and then we didn\u2019t audition a few drummers; we asked a few mates and that didn\u2019t work out, a kid we used to go to school with called Mike Gresty, he was the one we wanted to sing but he wouldn\u2019t do it \u2013 he was too shy \u2013 and we put an advert in a record shop in town and got a few adverts \u2013 we had a hippy from Chorlton that we went and met, but with none of them, nothing came of it and Ian sort of filled the gap quite quickly I thought.\nAnd what was it then about him that made it happen? Obviously it was when you first met him, did you see him play? Did you know he was going to be such a brilliant live performer, write lyrics like that, there must have been something about him?\nNo, we\u2019d never seen him, we just felt that you could get on with him. You felt that he was like you. I never heard Ian\u2019s lyrics until we went in the studio to do \u2018Unknown Pleasures\u2019, all I heard was \u201cmmaaaaggnnnnmmnn\u201d!! but he seemed to say it in such a way that it fulfilled what you wanted out of the group! I\u2019d never heard Steve\u2019s drums, all I heard was \u201cwwwwwooofffffmmmmmnn\u201d behind me, which I thought was great. You know, we hadn\u2019t heard each other \u2019til we got in the studio, but I think that you felt and you knew that something was right.\nI think I\u2019ve got a handle on the name change from \u2018Warsaw\u2019 to \u2018Joy Division\u2019 but I\u2019m still in the dark a bit about \u2018The Stiff Kittens\u2019.\nNo, what happens was, we got offered the gig supporting The Buzzcocks and we were in between names then, we couldn\u2019t decide on a name. We had \u2018Slaves Of Venus\u2019, no actually to be honest with you, I can\u2019t remember what names we had then, I don\u2019t think we had many then; in fact, the \u2018Slaves Of Venus\u2019 was an alternative to \u2018Joy Division\u2019, after \u2018Warsaw\u2019 \u2013 I can\u2019t remember what we were doing but we couldn\u2019t make our minds up and we didn\u2019t know what we were going to call ourselves, and Richard Boon wanted to get the posters done, and he was going \u201cYou\u2019ve got to give us a name\u201d and we were going \u201cRight right right\u201d but just couldn\u2019t think of one. So we kept throwing it about and couldn\u2019t agree on it and in the end he got so fed up that him and Pete Shelley came up with the name \u2018Stiff Kittens\u2019 and they gave us that name, which we of course hated. It was bound to happen, wasn\u2019t it?\nObviously once you started playing live the chemistry between the four is obvious, but also something kind of big happens, and Ian\u2019s performance was obviously amazing, and Bono is quoted as saying that \u2018In his time Ian was by far the best frontman in the world\u2019, you know, there was something about that performance that was breathtaking, wasn\u2019t there?\nYeah, I think it came as much of a surprise to us as it did to anybody really. We never talked about it, one of the weirdest things about our whole musical history is that we never talk about what we were going to do, you know, we just did it. And we never said \u2018Oh you know Ian, you should do this\u2019 \u2013 we never did, it just came naturally. To him, we didn\u2019t discuss it, he never told us what he was going to do or anything like that, you know. It wasn\u2019t important, the important thing was writing music and getting gigs. We never thought about how we were going to look when we got there; I mean you did with your clothes and stuff but you never thought how you were going to act on stage, you didn\u2019t think about it. So it was as much of a surprise to us I think as it was to Ian when he did it, you know, when his style came about. But it was fantastic, you couldn\u2019t ask for anything more but it wasn\u2019t planned. He never orchestrated it or choreographed it, he just did it.\nSo you\u2019re kind of lucky you didn\u2019t have that conversation \u2013 \u201cWe should do it like Kraftwerk\u2026\u201d\nNo, the only actual one conversation we had to do with anything image-wise was the one when we all decided we were going to dye our hair blond. This was really early on in Warsaw days, and we all went home thinking it was a great idea, and then came back to the next rehearsal and there was only me that was blond. The bastards hadn\u2019t done it.\nThat kind of post-punk moment, obviously you\u2019d described yourself as a punk band and Steven remembers seeing the advert for \u2018Drummer Wanted \u2013 Punk Band\u2019 but at what point did you think there\u2019s a world beyond \u2018bang bang bang Sex Pistols-type punk\u2019?\nI never thought about it, our music developed as it developed and it was funny because I didn\u2019t put much thought into it, it just came quite naturally and when I was watching Bernard on the documentary he said that we were \u201cemulating bad punk\u201d. And I don\u2019t remember that, I just remember writing some tunes! And they were shit, and they were punk, but I don\u2019t remember emulating anybody while doing it, it was just what you did, and what happened was, as you got better and better your music grew and I suppose I don\u2019t know whether that would be luck or skill. (laughs)\nA song like \u2018Digital\u2019 is sort of half way between the more punky numbers and that \u2018Unknown Pleasures\u2019 sound isn\u2019t it?\n\u2018Digital\u2019 is a very unusual song isn\u2019t it? The thing about Joy Division songs that I now appreciate is like when I look at a song like \u2018Isolation\u2019 or I look at a song like \u2018Digital\u2019 or I look at a song like \u2018Glass\u2019 \u2013 they\u2019re pretty different to most people\u2019s music you know. \u2018Digital\u2019 has got a fantastic bass riff, and most people in most bands would kill for a bass riff like that. We were very lucky in that we had loads of bass riffs like that. (laughs) \u2018Digital\u2019 is a very unique tune. You listen to it and go \u2018Wow. Phew. That\u2019s pretty amazing that\u2019 and considering how early on in our career it was written.\nThe change from when we were emulating punk to writing distinctive music that has turned out to be timeless was actually quite short, it was like, six months. Or nine months, or a year at the most. You were doing \u2018werwerwerrrrrrr\u2019 to \u2018Transmission\u2019 and \u2018Love Will Tear Us Apart\u2019 and it\u2019s unbelievable, the rest of your time, twenty-five years you\u2019ve spent trying to emulate those songs. \u201cOh let\u2019s write one like \u2018Love Will Tear Us Apart\u2019, dead simple\u201d and it\u2019s impossible to do, it\u2019s very, very difficult to write simple, fast songs.\nAnd \u2018Digital\u2019 was the first time you were in the studio with Martin, is that right?\nYeah, with Martin was the first time we recorded properly, I suppose you\u2019d say, was \u2018Digital\u2019 and \u2018Glass\u2019\nAnd what did he bring to the recordings?\nWe could write the music but we couldn\u2019t make it sound good, you know, and when we\u2019d demo\u2019d before it just sounded awful. Mainly because you didn\u2019t have anyone who loved it, it could have been down to the music I don\u2019t know but it just sounded rotten. So you didn\u2019t have the skills to produce it. I think when you write the music you think you\u2019ve got everything, but that isn\u2019t true. The thing is that we didn\u2019t know how to record music. Martin did. And as he said in that interview in that I was listening to \u2013 this band were a gift to him because the music was fantastic. I mean, if I was a producer and someone said \u2018Do you want to produce this band?\u2019 and played me tunes like that I\u2019d go \u2018Oh what? This is fantastic!\u2019 That\u2019s a great thing to get and I suppose he was in the right place at the right time as well.\nAnd obviously there was a connection with Factory in those early days, but then come early \u201979 there were other labels around, what made you decide to go with Factory and record an album?\nBecause Rob told us to do it! (laughs) It\u2019s funny because I was reading that quote about Tony when he said \u201cWe made Art, darling, not money\u201d because if he\u2019d told everyone at the start that they were going to make art not money, they\u2019d have all gone \u201cOh piss off!\u201d. You know; we were going to go with someone who would make money. We all wanted to be successful, that\u2019s one of the main reasons you do it. But Rob just weighed up the pros and cons, and the thing was that signing as we were going to do which was to Radar we would have lost a lot of freedom and also lost a lot of control \u2013 no pun intended \u2013 and Rob decided not to give that up. He\u2019d met Tony, we\u2019d done the Factory sample, obviously he felt that that had gone well.\nRob was very much able to look at the overall picture where as we weren\u2019t because we were so closely involved with it, and he just made the decision to do it. It\u2019s quite simple maths really, because on Factory you could sell ten thousand albums and you\u2019d make ten thousand pounds, if you were Siouxsie and the Banshees on Polydor as they were, to make ten thousand pounds you\u2019d have to sell three hundred thousand albums. So that meant that instantly you were on the back foot, you couldn\u2019t take it at your own pace, you had somebody telling you what to do, and you had to do it a different way, you couldn\u2019t survive. So we were lucky in a way because it enabled us to survive quite easily by selling only a few records so you didn\u2019t have to compromise.\nAnd were you put on wages?\nAll this bit gets a bit shady because I remember us going full time after Buzzcocks, I remember us getting nine pound a week or something and Ian got more because he had a baby, I think he was on thirteen and we were on nine, and it stayed that way for a long time. We never really made any money up until Ian died, and then when Ian died we had the Hacienda so we never made any money again. So it was quite an odd thing, when I was thirty-odd I was on a hundred pounds a week, so we were never, I suppose what you\u2019d have to say is \u2018spoilt\u2019. We were removed from that side of it, the financial side of it really, we just carried on doing what we were doing as well as we were doing it and there was no money coming in.\nWhat may be hard for people to get a handle on about Joy Division is that even though you are a legendary group with iconic songs, the actual scene and the network in 1980 it was a small world wasn\u2019t it, the gigs weren\u2019t stadium gigs you know, in a sense you kind of think of bands like the Kaiser Chiefs now in many ways seem like a bigger band.\nWell yes, I suppose, it\u2019s funny though because The Killers selling out Manchester Evening News Arena and when I went to see The Killers at the Manchester Evening News arena they didn\u2019t seem big enough to fill it, to me. They didn\u2019t act like a big band, they still seemed like you should be seeing them in the Academy, it was quite an odd feeling. I can\u2019t remember what Joy Division, what our gigs were like, when we finished there were like, two hundred, three hundred people \u2013 the biggest crowd we played to was at Futurama festival and we were on at something like two o\u2019clock in the afternoon, something like that. That was the biggest crowd, about a thousand people.\nIt\u2019s kind of a hard thing for people to get their heads around\u2026\nWe\u2019re as big as any band has ever been now, which is quite odd, it\u2019s quite an odd thing. We were very much a well kept secret really. I think I\u2019d only been abroad twice, been to Belgium twice, I don\u2019t think we played anywhere else, no we played in Paris once, we hadn\u2019t been far really at all.\nTalking of Belgium, how did the arrival of Annik into Ian\u2019s world change the dynamic?\nWell, that\u2019s a very strange question isn\u2019t it really? I suppose it was his Yoko Ono moment, wasn\u2019t it? I think we were very careful because financially you couldn\u2019t afford to bring your girlfriend with you, she couldn\u2019t afford to come on the train and she couldn\u2019t come in the car because there was no room, so we never had our girlfriends; we were never in a position where we could afford to bring our girlfriends. But Annik was with Ian because it was the only place that they could be together, on the road. We didn\u2019t have our girlfriends with us. It was quite an odd occurrence really but I suppose it was again like a Yoko Ono moment, isn\u2019t it. Happens to a lot of people.\nAnd did you as a group of lads, was there a sense that it was healthy or unhealthy that situation? I mean Ian was obviously ill, apart from the epilepsy there was some kind of depressive illness maybe?\nWell I think Northerners are a bunch of piss-taking bastards anyway aren\u2019t we, so we just took the piss out of him all the time because he had a girl with him really. We were too young really to think like that, we didn\u2019t think like that, we were just having a laugh really \u201cOh she\u2019s here again aww\u201d \u2013 like that you know \u2013 \u201cFucking hell\u201d it was as simple as that really.\nWhen the lyrics to \u2018Love Will Tear Us Apart\u2019 came along, they\u2019re kind of very specific aren\u2019t they? Was there any kind of discussion as to whether they were too specific?\nNo, no, never, as I said to you, I\u2019d never really, strange as it seems, I never analysed his lyrics, I just thought they sounded good and that was good enough for me. We were all happy and that was it, it was only afterwards when you sat down and looked at it with the benefit of hindsight with what had happened that you thought \u2018oh my God\u2019. Ian was great at telling everybody that he was alright and he wanted you to believe him; so you did believe him. And I think in your heart as well and your mind you wanted it to be alright, so if he was telling you it was alright then that was OK. \u2018You alright?\u2019 \u2018I\u2019m fine! Don\u2019t worry about me! Let\u2019s carry on!\u2019 and you\u2019re going \u2018But, you know, you tried to kill yourself last week\u2019 and he\u2019s going \u2018Nah! Nah! It\u2019s nothing that, I was pissed, come on let\u2019s carry on\u2019 and we wanted to carry on so we just went on, you know. We went along with it.\nAnd one of the elements that was in that deterioration or whatever it was that Ian suffered was the epilepsy and the medication, the medication didn\u2019t really seem to be working did it?\nWell there\u2019s an interesting point in the Joy Division documentary when they take Ian\u2019s prescriptions to an expert on epilepsy now, and get him to analyse what Ian was taking as to how successful it would have been in treating his symptoms and the guy who\u2019s an expert in treating epilepsy now was absolutely appalled that they would even think that the combination of drugs that they were giving him then could do anything for him apart from completely fuck him up.\nI didn\u2019t realise that \u2013 so someone\u2019s been able to go back and research?\nIf we were bad letting him carry on at twenty three, then the doctors and the psychiatrists who let him out were much worse than us because they were supposed to know what they were doing. Obviously they didn\u2019t have a clue, did they? He was so heavily sedated and then they were giving him uppers and downers together, so it was amazing, they just didn\u2019t seem to know what they were doing.\nI was reading about Vini Reilly talking about Ian and saying that when he got the call saying that Ian had died that he wasn\u2019t surprised, was that your reaction?\n(laughs) Oh no, I was surprised. Shocked. Again, with hindsight you\u2019d look back and say \u201cWell, that\u2019s not surprising is it? He\u2019d already done a cry for help and he\u2019d basically carried on\u2026\u201d The doctor said to him \u2013 in all fairness to the doctor \u2013 what he should do was take it easy, get some early nights, have no undue excitement, don\u2019t drink, and look after yourself. And he went on tour with a rock \u2018n\u2019 roll band. It\u2019s not really going work is it to be honest. And someone should have said no, and we did, you know; we all said \u201cCome on let\u2019s stop\u201d. Rob said it all the time; we\u2019ll pack it in, just stay at home, do a bit of recording. He didn\u2019t want to do that, he was \u201cNo! no we\u2019ve got to carry on, we\u2019ll lose the momentum, we\u2019ve got the impetus now, we\u2019ve got to go to America, we\u2019ve got to do this\u201d and he was always the one doing that.\nLet\u2019s talk about Rob, in the film \u2018Control\u2019 Rob, a bit like yourself, the characters provide some of the humourous moments in the film, but talking about Rob, what did he bring to Joy Division?\nI don\u2019t know, he was perfect wasn\u2019t he? He was the piece of the jigsaw that made it perfect; his attitude helped create the myth of Factory, the myth of Manchester, the Hacienda, everything, it comes from Tony and Rob really. It was their job I suppose you\u2019d say, it was their job to think about what we were doing and which they did. With Tony\u2019s death, and after he\u2019s gone it makes you think about how important he was and important somebody like Rob was, but you only realise it after they\u2019ve gone really, which is the saddest thing, it\u2019s a sad fact of life isn\u2019t it?\nRob was instrumental in creating the myth of Joy Division. The reason that we had dark and moody lighting was so it didn\u2019t send Ian in a fit because all the lighting guys used to flash the lights all the time because that\u2019s what you do in rock \u2018n\u2019 roll. So Rob developed this thing of having mean and moody lighting and it became Joy Division\u2019s and then New Order\u2019s kind of image, so he was instrumental in a lot of things like that. Also he had the foresight to realise that we could keep control and earn more money by sticking with Factory, and his only thing about it was that I\u2019d say if you\u2019ve got music like Joy Division\u2019s then it\u2019d be very difficult to make a mess of it, really.\nUnless you were signed with a major label and then\u2026\nBut even then the music would still live on, it\u2019ll still live on, wouldn\u2019t it? It was a very interesting thing, Rob\u2019s thing about interviews was that he\u2019d say to me and Barney \u201cOh you two shouldn\u2019t talk because you\u2019re fucking stupid, so shut up! Let Ian talk, or Steve\u201d, because Steve\u2019s completely bonkers and Ian was always quoting all his favourite authors and me and Barney were just a couple of meatheads! That worked, it gave us an air of mystery, you know! When you see Rob\u2019s notebooks, they\u2019ve got Rob\u2019s notebooks, and he was forever planning and writing down, what he was going to do next, and there\u2019s sheets and sheets of it and there\u2019s a bit in the Joy Division documentary about what he was going to do with the group and that to me is the sign of a great manager who never stops thinking about what he can do with his group that\u2019s different to what\u2019s been done before, and Rob never stopped, he was fantastic.\nI think that idea of doing something that\u2019s not been done before is so key to it, I\u2019ve never really thought of it in that way, if you think about so many other groups and labels and so-called creative people, a lot of them are wrapped up in \u2018What\u2019s everyone else doing?\u2019 and there doesn\u2019t seem to be that in your career and the career of the people around you.\nYes, but its quite odd though because it seemed quite natural to us when we came to do the sleeve and Barney came up with the design, and you know we never thought about putting us on the cover, it never crossed anybody\u2019s mind at all, it was just not of interest, and it wasn\u2019t until years later when we signed to Quest, Quincy Jones\u2019 label, in America, when someone said to us \u201cHey guys, you ever thought of putting your pictures on the front?\u201d and we were like \u201cWhat do you want our pictures on the front for, are you joking?\u201d you know it was like, as simple as that really, there wasn\u2019t much ego in it. And to watch The Clash, even though it was a great album, The Clash sprayed on a wall and them all stood in front of it, just didn\u2019t appeal to us at all.\nAlso, I know I\u2019ve read the interviews and all that, but you\u2019re the one who slightly debunks the artiness and the intellectual adventure that was around at that time, but there was a sense wasn\u2019t there that bands and someone like Ian could read books, could have deep thoughts or could dress differently to the mainstream or be different to the mainstream \u2013 there were other groups, the Pop Group, Throbbing Gristle, Gang Of Four \u2013 there was something in the air wasn\u2019t there at that time?\nWell I suppose it\u2019s very difficult for me because there was very much a culture, very much a class division which I found from Magazine to The Buzzcocks, they did look down on you because you were working class, there was no doubt about it. Maybe it was our working class antics that they didn\u2019t like, I mean I know for a fact that I\u2019m not an idiot, but I\u2019m not the way people perceive maybe Ian to be, I\u2019m more, I don\u2019t know, it\u2019s a funny thing, it\u2019s in your character isn\u2019t it, I mean whether you read great books or not wouldn\u2019t have made Joy Division\u2019s music any better. I could have read Dostoevsky or whatever but it wouldn\u2019t have made that music any better, would it? I can only debunk the myth from how it affected me. I found a lot of the time Pete Shelley and Howard Devoto to be quite pretentious and it was a bit arty and middle class art school what I consider to be bollocks. Can\u2019t say anything more than that!\nAnd when Paul Morley was writing about the band in the NME?\nI didn\u2019t understand it! I\u2019d try and read it and I didn\u2019t understand it. It was interesting because we asked Paul Morley to write the sleeve notes for \u2018Still\u2019 I think and this wonderful piece of writing that had obviously come straight from his soul, you read it and it was wonderful, it was straight talking conversation and then he withdrew it and put in this big thing of arty rubbish. I\u2019ve still got that piece of paper that he originally did actually, I\u2019ve got it downstairs. And the contrast is like, why are people doing this, are they doing it to appear intelligent?\nWe did a gig with the Birthday Party once, and the Birthday Party thought that we were very arty and we thought that the Birthday Party were wild and a bunch of lunatics you know, and it was exactly the opposite \u2013 we were wild and a bunch of lunatics and the Birthday Party were all sat there reading books! It was peoples\u2019 ideas though, it wasn\u2019t the truth. The thing about Joy Division was when those four people came together, they made very deep, very lasting, very impressive music. You just have to be good at what you do, you know, if that sounds right or wrong, I\u2019m not even sure what I\u2019m trying to say there. I mean, I didn\u2019t realise the enormity of what we were creating while we were creating it, and I was maybe a little bit flippant and a little bit yobbish, but that was just the way I\u2019d been brought up and the way I like to act! (laughs)\nThere was obviously very little time between the effective end of Joy Division and New Order\u2026\nThere was a week, less, four days before we started New Order if you consider carrying on. The next rehearsal which we scheduled in for Joy Division was the one with New Order where the three of us started playing again, we didn\u2019t know what to do, I didn\u2019t want to go back to the docks, that was for sure, I went to the rehearsal room because the rehearsal room seemed a damn sight more attractive than the docks!\nAnd you were singing some of the songs?\nYeah we all sang, and we sang three each I think, Bernard, Stephen and I, we shared the vocal duties. We all sounded amazingly alike actually .\nObviously the \u2018Movement\u2019 album there\u2019s a bit of that classic Joy Division sound in there as well, that must have been an uncomfortable, difficult album to do generally.\nIt\u2019s funny, I was reading that review of the Joy Division album when the guy said \u201cIf you want to hear a desolate, lost album listen to \u2018Movement\u2019\u201d and funnily enough I understand what he meant now. Terrible time, very unhappy album actually. The jockeying for position and trying to sort everything out was very difficult.\nAnd Martin Hannett was also, for what ever reason, maybe connected with Ian\u2019s death, Hannett was going through a few things as well wasn\u2019t he?\nYeah, cocaine, heroin, morphine\u2026 he was going through a lot of things, yeah. (laughs) His head was up his arse basically, he was going through a massive drug addiction that I now realise and he was very hard to work with and very, very difficult to work with. So what Bernard and I realised very early on was that he was a genius, and what we should do was just learn how to do it ourselves and get rid of him, because that was all you could do, you know, he was killing you. Terrible things; the way he was acting at that very delicate stage that we were in, you know we were literally about quarter of an inch from falling apart completely and he didn\u2019t help us at all. He didn\u2019t get us all together, he didn\u2019t say \u201cDon\u2019t worry lads it\u2019ll all be alright, stick with me\u201d. He just said \u201cI\u2019ll be in the tape room if you want me and if I hear anything good I\u2019ll come out\u201d. And that wasn\u2019t the most helpful thing in the world.\nI think if anything one of the reasons why you\u2019re as strong as you are, or became as strong as you were maybe musically and or as people, was you had to pull yourselves right back from the brink of that, it was a very, very awful period and the way that Martin treated us, and Bernard especially, with regards to his singing was sometimes was vile and disgusting. He was terrible, he was so vague, he was no help what so ever, it was murder. It really was difficult. But he hated our voices, he loved Ian\u2019s voice and he hated ours.\nWhen in 1998 when New Order played The Apollo, I think it was the Reading year, I only remember because it was such a brilliant gig, and also New Order had also started playing Joy Division songs. What caused that kind of change, maybe a bit more accepting of that period, or what was it that you brought out the New Order songs?\n(laughs) No, I think that the only kind way to put it was that we had a certain fragility with Gillian\u2019s playing, she wasn\u2019t very gung-ho, we were more fragile as a group, and when Phil came along he sort of played more like Bernard, which enabled Bernard to sing like Ian, and we sounded more like Joy Division. It was as simple as that. I think if anything, musically that was a change in New Order, and by getting Phil in we became rockier. And we lost a lot of our \u2013 which a lot of the fans didn\u2019t like actually \u2013 our vulnerability. I don\u2019t know how to put it, \u2018delicateness\u2019 maybe might be a nicer way of putting it. We lost a bit of our fragility when Gillian went, we became more like Joy Division and less like New Order, if that makes sense. So those songs that were very rocky and heavy, I suppose you\u2019d have to say, they felt right. They felt stronger, more the way you\u2019d written them. And also I think there was a period of getting over what you wanted to do, you know, you definitely had enough space from then to \u201998, there was definitely enough space for you to enjoy doing it again.\nAnd if there was one Joy Division song that you had to say, you know, if the end of the world was coming and you were allowed to save one, which one would it be?\n(long pause) Hmmm, (pause) my favourite Joy Division song has to be \u2018Atmosphere\u2019, and it\u2019s funny because while Robbie Williams gets \u2018Angels\u2019 at weddings, we get \u2018Atmosphere\u2019 at funerals. I\u2019d save that one, because it was like a game, one of those songs you wrote in a matter of hours, and it was just so powerful and so wonderful, and I don\u2019t know, I have a real fondness for Joy Division songs, because I was so close to New Order that I don\u2019t get an objectiveness with New Order, I can\u2019t be objective about New Order where I can be objective about Joy Division and listen to it and think it\u2019s fantastic and just enjoy it as music, I haven\u2019t got to that stage yet with New Order. So I enjoy listening to Joy Division a lot.\nOne more question, it\u2019s a bit of a difficult one, when you were on stage with New Order and you had all that history with the band and Joy Division and all that, were there times when it was almost like Ian\u2019s presence was still kind of there?\nNo, I never felt like that because it always felt like, we always completely ignored Joy Division, we never relied on it, we never even mentioned it most of the time, we just put it to bed when we began New Order, and New Order felt like a very long climb up a very slippy hill, so we never, it was such a struggle.\nI didn\u2019t think about that, you know. If we\u2019d carried on playing Joy Division with someone else singing then maybe that image of Ian living there or being round you, you know, would have felt like that but we didn\u2019t. We just literally put it away completely to one side and just carried on and ignored it for years and years and years and years. And it was a very odd thing to do actually, now I think it\u2019s an insane thing to do but it worked for New Order. And also I think it gave you a stature in your new endeavour that you might not have done had you mixed the two; I think it gave you a class, that people appreciated the fact that you realised that that was different, that belonged to Ian, this was now you, this was different, we\u2019re not asking you to judge us because of that, we\u2019re beginning again, that took a lot of guts that, and I don\u2019t think that we would have done that without people like Tony Wilson and Rob Gretton with us \u2013 and Martin Hannett, to be honest, even though it didn\u2019t seem like that when he was working with us! But I think that those people gave you the strength to carry on, you know, and obviously did have a belief in you as people to do it, but I mean, it is quite an odd thing to do actually as a group, I\u2019ve never known any other group do it. And it was quite interesting, it is quite difficult and quite odd to find somebody who was a guitarist in a band then becoming a singer. And I never thought about it because he just did it with us and it was quite natural. And when I sat down and thought about it, and I thought \u2018God that is quite weird isn\u2019t it?\u2019 for somebody to do that, and I suppose it was an odd thing. New Order were very groundbreaking and, I don\u2019t know really, it was a weird thing to do, yeah. It makes me wonder now that New Order have split up and have finished, whether the next thing I do, \u201cWill I Play New Order songs or will I not do that?\u201d (laughs) Because everybody wants you to play New Order songs, they want to hear it, and it does makes me wonder, when I get Freebase up and running or whatever. I mean in Freebase for instance we\u2019ve got Mani who could play Stone Roses songs, Andy Rourke plays Smiths songs, I could do Joy Division and New Order, it\u2019s quite an interesting thing, do you ignore it or do you enjoy it? There\u2019s a conundrum, isn\u2019t it?",

        "raw_content": "Johnson: Solo encounter with escaped convict on Mt. Graham (conclusion)\nBy Ted Johnson, Courier Columnist\nAfter a fitful night\u2019s sleep, we discussed our options. No longer a spring chicken, I explained to Mike that there was no way I could walk 18 miles in one day with full gear, especially with an elevation gain of 4,000 feet. He understood. We opted to hike down to Thatcher, less than 10 miles. From there, we would catch a ride back to my truck.\nWhat would happen at my truck? I would cross that bridge when I got to it. I hoped his orange pants would attract attention or that I would be able to tip someone off to the situation when we made contact with civilization. I prayed for two things. First, that he would not care about his pants. I had other clothes at my truck. Second, that God would send in the cavalry, so to speak.\nOn the way down the hill, we noticed fresh quad tracks on the old logging road. I hoped the off-road enthusiasts might still be around and be willing to give us a lift. As we approached Frye Mesa Reservoir, we saw two people on quads near the dam. As soon as they saw us, they started their engines and hurried our way.\nWhen some 50 feet away, they drew their rifles and started giving orders. Mike was told to hit the dirt. I was told to back off. It seems that the orange pants had attracted their attention.\nA DPS helicopter landed within 15 minutes. Two divine appointments on one hike. I was breaking all sorts of odds on this trip! A squad of ATVs soon arrived and the ugly reality of prison life became immediately apparent.\nThere was no dignity to be had and no independent thinking. Mike was told when to get up, when to move, when to be still. He was taken to Florence and got five years added to his sentence. He was also ordered to pay $55,000 in restitution for the cost of the search. My contribution to his capture was not part of this calculation.\nI was field interrogated to make sure I wasn\u2019t an accomplice. The news reported that the escapee was found wandering in the desert. No mention was made of a clueless librarian who happened to be in the neighborhood, who basically handed over their escapee. I was given a ride back to my truck by a Department of Corrections (DOC) officer who explained how things worked at Ft. Grant and why he quit mining to become a DOC officer.\nHe said that 25 teams of trackers, dogs and helicopters were leaving no stone unturned. He added, \u201cWe take our prisoners seriously. When one goes missing, we pull out all the stops.\u201d\nNow that I have gotten to know Mike over the years, I am confident that if we had made it to my truck and were able to leave the area, we would have returned to Phoenix without incident. As time went on, I testified at a hearing before the Governor\u2019s Board of Executive Clemency advocating for Mike\u2019s early release.\nThough approved by the Board, the Governor denied the request. Apparently, any escapee has given the Department a black eye and that\u2019s the end of the story.\nWhile circumstances vary, this experience taught me that kindness is powerful, prayer makes a difference and God\u2019s ways are often difficult to understand.\nNext: Hiking Resolutions for the New Year.\nJohnson: An unexpected solo encounter with a convict on Mount Graham (Part 1)\nJohnson: Mt.

        "raw_content": "Grotto: an ancient haven\n1. A small cave or cavern; 2. An artificial structure or excavation made to resemble a cave or cavern.\nGrottoes are to gardeners as wine cellars are to oenophiles. They are dark, cool, mysterious, smelling pleasantly of the earth.\nEven though I\u2019ve read a few mystery plots involving grottoes that appear on the grounds of old European estates, the only real grotto I\u2019ve toured is located in Portland (seen above).\nI remember going to see it in the late 1970s when I was a junior or senior in high school. Portland\u2019s \u201cGrotto\u201d is actually part of a Catholic shrine and 62-acre botanical garden. It was originally established as an early 20th Century monastery. Here\u2019s some information from the web site, which is also the source of the photographs seen here:\n\u201cKnown affectionately as the Grotto, this lush 62-acre tract at Sandy Boulevard and NE 85th Avenue was once a rock quarry owned by the Union Pacific Railroad. The Order of Servants of Mary later acquired the property and created an urban oasis of gardens, sculptures, and shady paths.\nThe sanctuary\u2019s central attraction is Our Lady\u2019s Grotto, an altar dedicated to Mary, the mother of Jesus. The grotto was carved from a basalt cliff in 1923 and is now the setting for daily masses and special events such as the annual Blessing of the Animals (in July), when pets and their human companions fill the 600-seat outdoor chapel.\u201d\nI looked to history in search of the origins of a grotto. The Oxford Companion to Gardens devotes nearly three pages to this unusual stone cave or garden shelter:\n\u201cThe primary distinction is between a natural covered opening in the earth and an artificial recess made to resemble a natural grotto; hence, art imitating and surpassing nature is a constant leitmotiv. . . .\nThe grotto is also associated with ornamental styles:\nin the 16th c. with grottesca, a fantastic decor based on capricious human, animal, and floral forms found in excavations of underground vaults of ancient buildings.\nin the 18th c. with rococo, derived from \u2018the shell-work in the shape of Satyrs and other wild fancies.\u2019\nalso in the 18th c., the Third Earl of Shaftesbury (Anthony Ashley Cooper), an English politician and philosopher, promoted the ideal of \u201cBeautiful Nature.\u201d He commended rocks, caverns, cascades, and grottoes . . . and preferred \u201cwilderness in nature\u201d rather than the mockery of princely gardens.\nIs it possible to find a modern-day grotto in a residential garden?\nIn 2003, when I participated in the Hardy Plant Study Weekend hosted by the Hardy Plant Society of Oregon, I was delighted to discover a dark, alluring, dome-topped stone folly in the garden of Burl and Cindy Mostul of Rare Plant Research, a mostly wholesale nursery from which clever retail customers can often order cool tropical and desert plants.\nOh, the folly! The interior of this little round structure, hand-built with mortared pieces of concrete and stone, was noticeably cooler than that toasty June afternoon climate. It was soothing and quiet. Once I entered, I really didn\u2019t want to share it with anyone else.\nThe word \u201cgrotto\u201d came to mind immediately, even though I\u2019d only seen one other cave-like space made of stone. The presence of a stone wall and fanciful hand-built columns and arches reinforced the ancient feeling of the landscape (see below, top row).\nI was seduced by the notion of hiding out there \u2013 inside the stone room \u2013 whenever I wished to escape from heat, humidity and bright light. A place for languishing, of course.\nThis past spring, I visited the garden of Robert Crudup, head of Valley Crest\u2019s residential landscaping division here in Southern California.\nHe is an amateur winemaker, so it was a treat to see Robert\u2019s personal wine \u201ccave,\u201d which he has built into the hillside behind his home in Newbury Park.\nLike an ancient grotto, rediscovered for today\u2019s practical purposes, the exterior is draped in vines and drips with water. Spilling from an unseen source in the hillside, the water fills a terra cotta urn and then cascades over the bowl\u2019s rim to the stones below.\nIf this doesn\u2019t say \u201cgrotto\u201d to you, I don\u2019t know what would!",

        "title": "Cars 2 (2011) - Decent Films",
        "raw_content": "Cars 2 is something more disappointing than Pixar\u2019s first unmistakably mediocre film: It\u2019s a work of disheartening anonymity.\nDirected by John Lasseter, co-director Brad Lewis. Larry the Cable Guy, Owen Wilson, Michael Caine, Emily Mortimer, Eddie Izzard, John Turturro. Pixar/Disney.\nAnthropomorphized vehicular violence (including multi-car crashes and car fatalities); a sequence in which a car is tortured and killed; some toilet humor, if you can believe it.\nIn the 16 years since their pioneering masterpiece Toy Story, Pixar did more than accumulate one of the most consistently excellent track records in Hollywood history. They fashioned a creative culture emphasizing story, characters, theme and emotional truth.\nAlthough each film is supposed to represent the vision of its director, there is also a sense of the studio itself as auteur or author. It\u2019s impossible to imagine movies like Finding Nemo and Wall-E having been made anywhere else in Hollywood.\nThe original Cars wasn\u2019t a great film, but it was unmistakably a Pixar work, fueled by the filmmakers\u2019 palpable passion for stock-car racing, with a lovingly nostalgic ode to the American Midwest, the 1950s and the \u201cmother road,\u201d Route 66.\nCars 2, which takes Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson) and Mater the tow truck (Larry the Cable Guy) abroad for the first World Grand Prix race, still has a lot of racing and makes a lot of cultural jokes, but there\u2019s little sign of the filmmakers being inspired by anything beyond 007 / \u201cInspector Gadget\u201d spy fantasy \u2014 something DreamWorks\u2019 genre spoofs (Kung Fu Panda, Monsters vs. Aliens, Megamind) have done better.\nMore pointedly, Cars 2 is exactly the sort of sequel many Pixar fans feared Disney was poised to crank out back when it looked like Pixar and Disney were parting ways. Pixar owned the films, but Disney had sequel rights, and a Pixar-less version of Toy Story 3 was in the works at Disney until the Mouse bought Pixar, and John Lasseter, taking the reins at Disney animation, pulled the plug. Later, Lasseter reconsidered and reworked Toy Story 3 from the ground up as a pretty worthy wrap-up.\nThe Toy Story sequels took the characters and relationships of the original to new territory. Cars 2 takes its characters to new countries, but nothing that could be called character development occurs, and there are no relationships to speak of. Lightning still considers Mater his best friend, but other than revisiting memories of tractor tipping, there\u2019s not much to their relationship besides Lightning affectionately tolerating or not tolerating Mater\u2019s obnoxious or embarrassing behavior. Lightning\u2019s still dating Sally Carrera (Bonnie Hunt), but their relationship\u2019s dramatically irrelevant.\nThe story bifurcates into overlapping plots involving Lightning and Mater. On the one hand, Lightning accepts a challenge to race against a self-aggrandizing Italian racecar named Francesco Bernoulli (John Tuturro), a Grand Prix that will take them to Tokyo, Rome and London (with a stopover in Paris). (In a nice touch, the film establishes that Lightning, having learned that winning isn\u2019t everything, is willing to rise above Francesco\u2019s taunts and pass on the race in order to spend his time off in Radiator Springs \u2014 but he ultimately accepts when he realizes that his friends want to see him take Francesco down a peg.)\nMater, meanwhile, gets mixed up in an exhausted mistaken-identity spy plot involving automotive British superspy Finn McMissile (an Aston Martin, naturally, voiced by Michael Caine) and Jaguar-like Bond girl Holley Shiftwell (Emily Mortimer). Like all superspies in all such movies, Finn and Holley are so super competent that they never, ever suspect that Mater is actually an idiot and not a top American superspy pretending to be an idiot.\nWhich of these two plotlines is more dominant is signaled by a notable reshuffling in the credits lineup: Owen Wilson takes second billing, and Larry the Cable Guy is now the star. In fact, Cars 2 makes a lot more sense once you realize it\u2019s not so much a sequel to Cars as a feature-length expansion of Mater\u2019s post-Cars solo adventures, first in the short Mater and the Ghostlight and then in the TV series Cars Toons: Mater\u2019s Tall Tales.\nCars 2\u2019s spy story is almost exactly like a feature-length version of one of Mater\u2019s Tall Tales, except that the tall tales are told as if they came from Mater\u2019s overheated imagination, whereas Cars 2 tells its story straight. He even gets outfitted with Bond-car extras (afterburners, Gatling guns, etc.) \u2014 just the sort of thing that happens in the Tall Tales. Unlike the Tall Tales, in Cars 2 the violence is pretty rough, particularly for a G-rated film (in one scene a captive car is tortured and \u201ckilled\u201d by the bad guys, and there are a number of other automotive \u201cdeaths\u201d as well as crack-ups).\nOne other important difference: In the Tall Tales, Mater is a confident, competent hero who\u2019s always in control. Cars 2 makes him a blithering buffoon who not only humiliates Lightning at a Tokyo cocktail party with his blundering behavior, but obliviously costs Lightning a race by getting distracted while acting as crew chief. Lightning takes as much of this as he can before blurting in exasperation, \u201cThis is why I never bring you to my races! I don\u2019t want your help! I don\u2019t need your help!\u201d\nIt\u2019s a mark of the film\u2019s falsity that Lightning, not Mater, is ultimately adjudicated to be in the wrong, while Mater is affirmed \u201cjust the way he is.\u201d Being affirmed \u201cjust the way he is\u201d does not mean that Mater can\u2019t have cool spy-movie upgrades.\n\u201cIf he is your friend,\u201d someone asks Lightning in what\u2019s meant to pass as a wise, penetrating line, \u201cwhy do you ask him to be someone he is not?\u201d Um, because making a spectacle of yourself isn\u2019t always acceptable behavior? Later, a contrite Lightning tells Mater, \u201cIf anyone has a problem with who you are, they\u2019re the one with the problem.\u201d So when Mater cost him the race, Lightning was the one with the problem?\nThis pattern is reiterated in the spy thread in which Mater obliviously blunders through life-and-death situations before being unavoidably confronted with his shortcomings by an unknowing remark from Finn McMissile, who refers to his \u201cidiot tow truck\u201d act. When Mater, stunned, asks if that\u2019s how McMissile sees him, the superspy answers, \u201cThat\u2019s how everyone sees you. \u2026 No one realizes they\u2019re being fooled, because they\u2019re too busy laughing at the fool. Brilliant cover, Mater!\u201d\nAfter humiliating Mater in this fashion, the movie makes it up to him in condescending, wish-fulfillment fashion, not only allowing him to save the day while demonstrating his mastery of technical minutia, but topping it off with Finn solemnly lauding Mater to his friends as \u201cone of the smartest and most honest chaps we\u2019ve ever met,\u201d while Holley identifies herself as \u201cMater\u2019s girlfriend,\u201d thereby validating Mater\u2019s earlier misapprehensions along those lines. It\u2019s as phony a group-hug ending as any I can think of.\nThe automotive Cars universe, with its complete absence of human or animal life, never made sense, but at least the first movie managed to maintain an illusion of consistency. There were tractors and farms, but you could watch the film without wondering who the crops were for. In Cars 2 Mater scarfs down wasabi at a cocktail party. Wasabi? That would never have passed in the original.\nOne of my favorite lines is Mater\u2019s rhetorical response to a stupid question: \u201cIs the popemobile Catholic?\u201d Later, though, in the Rome sequence, we actually see the white-mitered popemobile \u2014 and he\u2019s riding in a \u2026 popemobile-mobile, which may be an absurdity too many.\nP.S. Cars 2 is preceded by Hawaiian Vacation, a short featuring the Toy Story gang, now living in Bonnie\u2019s room. Pixar\u2019s best shorts start with a concept and noodle it in hilarious directions, often with little or no dialogue. Here, starting with a talky cast of characters developed for a feature film, they\u2019re reduced to character gags, a number of which we\u2019ve seen before. (Buzz pompously mispronounces a word and is corrected by Woody! Rex wants bigger arms! Etc.) Ken and Barbie were hilarious in Toy Story 3, but here they run out of juice after about a minute and a half. I suspect that removing these characters from their feature-length context, above all with Andy out of the picture, isn\u2019t likely to pay off. Toy Story is over. Leave the characters in peace.\nTags: Animation, Comedy, Debilitating Sequelitis, Family, Fast Track, Pixar, Spy Kids Stuff, Spy vs. Spy, World of Cars\nRE: Cars 2\nI wanted to thank you for your review for Cars 2. Because you gave it a negative review, I went to see the movie with no expectations. Thanks to my lack of expectations, I was able to appreciate the movie for what it was \u2014 a fun, stunningly beautiful summer popcorn flick. It was certainly not anywhere close to Pixar\u2019s best film \u2014 \u2014 but I think after so many brilliant successes Pixar can be cut a bit of slack? Not everyone can be perfect 100% of the time. If the next film is not up to \u201cPixar Standards\u201d, then I think there is reason for concern. But from my point of view, this movie just proves that Pixar can pull off even lighthearted summer flicks better than any studio in Hollywood. (Compare How to Train Your Dragon with Cars 2 \u2014 there isn\u2019t any comparison.)\nThanks for all the hard work you do. I really appreciate your reviews and agree with you about 80% of the time. (I am not a big action movie fan.)",

They\u2019ll get rid of fine lines, clear up dark circles below your eyes, and also overall give you a youthful appearance. Nonetheless, you\u2019re not likely to prefer to pick virtually any anti-aging cream. You\u2019re going to wish to find one that you know works prior to deciding to spend your hard-earned funds on it.\nBefore selecting a good anti-aging cream such as LifeCell, you\u2019re going to need to see precisely what everyone else which has chosen it thinks.

Double glazing is a big funding and also you wish to make sure you choose a great supplier.\nDouble glazing salesmen have historically had a fame on the same stage as that of used automotive salesmen but that is not the case now, as a lot more durable rules have been introduced in for double glazing suppliers, and for gross sales of this kind.\nIn at the moment\u2019s financial climate, value is usually a deciding factor when investing in home improvements. Nonetheless, this should not be the one factor to influence your determination, and many individuals have been let down by firms they thought had been giving them an unbeatable deal.\nOf course, cowboys do not only exist within the double glazing business, and very few suppliers are literally dishonest or incompetent. However, it is important to minimise the danger to your money and property.\nSo how have you learnt if the double glazing supplier you may have chosen is an efficient one? Trust Linplas.\nIn case you are in England or Wales, crucial factor to do is to verify the company is FENSA registered and regulated. FENSA is the organisation arrange by the double glazing industry to guard homeowners. There are an a variety of benefits to choosing a FENSA registered company, not least of which is the reassurance that the work of the company is usually inspected, and that it\u2019s lined by a 5-10 year insurance coverage-backed guarantee.\nSometimes, there could also be firms who use the FENSA brand on their supplies illegally. This is a serious offence, and _x0013_ HYPERLINK \u201chttp://www.fensa.org.uk\u201d _x0001__x0014_www.fensa.org.uk_x0015_ publishes details of these, as well as an inventory of registered double glazing companies.\nFor those who select a FENSA registered firm, you additionally know that the works shall be lined by Constructing Regulations.\nAmong the best ways to make sure you are hiring a reputable firm is to get recommendations from other customers. If you don\u2019t know anybody who has had any double glazing work carried out, then there are sometimes native groups who can advocate suppliers and contractors in your area. Failing that, the web is a good source of information.\nOf course there are large double glazing firms who have been round for a few years and have constructed up a stable reputation. Nevertheless it at all times pays to get more than one citation, and to perform a little research earlier than you make a decision. In spite of everything, although it\u2019s a very smart funding, double glazing is not low-cost and also you need to ensure you are spending wisely.",

There's nothing really to it, and no real point. But it captures the feel, at least as far as an outsider can, of the mind of a young child who is walking but not yet speaking in complete sentences.\nMom and Dad get a human baby.\nIt's a recognition of the important role that pets play in people's lives, understanding that just as it's difficult for children to accept new siblings, it's also difficult for the pets to accept it.\nBabies are a big change, but a positive one.\nOde to capitalism.\nIt presupposes a world where mice are intelligent and humans exist but don't realize that the mice are intelligent, which is kind of a difficult world to live in when you realize that we kill mice for pretty trifling things.

        "raw_content": "29 Rue Boulard, 75014 Paris, France\nBetty Parsons Gallery, 15 E 57th St, New York, NY 10022\nBetty Parsons (born Betty Bierne Pierson, January 31, 1900 \u2013 July 23, 1982)[1] was an American artist, art dealer, and collector known for her early promotion of Abstract Expressionism.[2]\nBetty Bierne Pierson was born on January 31, 1900, the second of three daughters.[1] She came from a wealthy New York family that divided its time between New York City, Newport, Palm Beach, and Paris.\nAt the age of ten, Parsons was enrolled in Miss Chapin's school for girls in New York. She remained at the Chapin School for five years but was a mediocre student who was easily bored. In 1913, Parsons visited the Armory show, the International Exhibition of Modern Art. She was delighted and inspired by what she saw and described this pivotal moment years later: \"It was exciting, full of color and life. I felt like those paintings. I couldn't explain it, but I decided then that this was the world I wanted... art.\"[3] Although her parents disapproved, she soon began studying art in the studio of Gutzon Borglum, whom she described as a poor teacher.[4]\nIn 1919, Parsons married Schuyler Livingston Parsons, an affluent, New York City socialite ten years her senior. Her family hoped that Parsons would settle down into a conventional lifestyle, but the couple divorced in Paris only three years later on the grounds of incompatibility.[5] Parsons remained in Paris and enrolled in the Acad\u00e9mie de la Grande Chaumi\u00e8re, where she studied under the sculptors \u00c9mile-Antoine Bourdelle (formerly an assistant to Auguste Rodin) and Ossip Zadkine. In the summers, she studied painting with Arthur Lindsey on the coast of Brittany.[6] She bought a small house in Montparnasse where she lived with English artist Adge Baker, with whom she had a romantic relationship. The two separated in 1932 but remained lifelong friends.[5]\nIn 1933, after losing her money in the Great Depression, Parsons returned to America. She first traveled to Santa Barbara, California, where she taught sculpture classes for a short time.[3] In 1936, she moved back to New York and had her first solo exhibition in New York at Midtown Gallery. Her watercolor paintings were well-received, and referred to in one review as \"delightful\" and \"interestingly conceived\".[7] She would have nine more one-woman shows at Midtown over the next twenty years.[8]\nFollowing her one-woman show at the Midtown Galleries, owner Alan Bruskin offered Parsons her first gallery job: selling art on commission.[8] That position was short-lived and, in the fall of 1937, Parsons began working at the gallery of Mrs. Cornelius J. Sullivan, a founding trustee of the Museum of Modern Art, New York.[9]\nIn 1940, Parsons left Sullivan's gallery and took a position managing a contemporary gallery in the Wakefield Bookshop at 64 East 55th Street. This was her first job managing a gallery on her own; she had full curatorial control regarding artists and exhibitions. She was soon representing many contemporary artists, including Saul Steinberg, Adolph Gottlieb, Alfonso Ossorio, Hedda Sterne, Theodoros Stamos, and Joseph Cornell.[5]\nIn September 1944, after four years at the Wakefield Gallery, Parsons was invited to start and manage a contemporary art division in the gallery of art dealer Mortimer Brandt.[3] When Brandt moved to England after the war, Parsons subleased the space from him and opened her own gallery at the urging of her artists.[10]\nThe Betty Parsons Gallery opened in 1946 at 15 East 57th Street in Manhattan.[11] The gallery regularly exhibited twelve shows a season, from September to May, with each show lasting only two to three weeks. At a time when the market for avant-garde American art was minuscule, Parsons was the only dealer willing to represent artists like Jackson Pollock after Peggy Guggenheim closed her Art of This Century gallery and returned to Europe in 1947.[12] Parsons showed work by William Congdon, Clyfford Still, Theodoros Stamos, Ellsworth Kelly, Mark Rothko, Hedda Sterne, Forrest Bess, Michael Loew, Lyman Kipp, Judith Godwin, and Robert Rauschenberg among others. In 1950, she gave Barnett Newman, whom she had met in 1943, his first solo show;[13] Rothko and Tony Smith assisted with the installation. In the late 1950s, Smith and Newman helped to remodel Parsons\u2019 gallery, creating an almost cube-shaped main space framed by white walls with subtly curved corners and a concrete floor whose proportions fitted their ordered works. Helen Frankenthaler, the painter, who met Parsons in 1950, said, \"Betty and her gallery helped construct the center of the art world. She was one of the last of her breed.\" Many of the Abstract Expressionist artists she had launched left her gallery for more commercial galleries such as Sam Kootz and Sidney Janis. Art critic B. H. Friedman noted, \"She was resentful. She had struggled so long to get them established, and other dealers capitalized on her efforts.\"\nShe later moved on to a younger generation of American artists, including Agnes Martin, Jasper Johns, Jack Youngerman, Richard Pousette-Dart, Jeanne Reynal,[14] Walter Tandy Murch, Leon Polk Smith, Richard Tuttle, Mino Argento,[15] Jos\u00e9 Bernal, and Oliver Steindecker (who was Mark Rothko's last assistant)[16] among others. She ran the gallery until her death in 1982 after which it was taken over by her former gallery assistant Jack Tilton (1951 - 2017) who then transformed it into his own establishment.[12]\nParsons was generous in promoting artists. She never refused walk-in artists with their artwork. Always encouraging and caring, she often gave crtitiques on the spot. Parsons nurtured the artists who assisted her and they were encouraged to show at her gallery. Richard Tuttle had his first show a year after he began assisting Betty Parsons. Thomas Nozkowski worked for her after graduating from Cooper Union. Parsons showed his sculptures.[17] In 1980, Ib Benoh began working for Betty Parsons as her assistant and within a few months she included him in a group show.[5]\nParsons was also a painter. In 1959, Tony Smith designed her waterfront house-studio on the North Fork of the east end of Long Island, New York, perched on a cliff overlooking Long Island Sound, where Parsons worked on her art in her time off from the gallery.[12] Her painting style changed in 1947, turning from small landscapes and portraits into a bold, subjective abstraction when she began to make constructions from bits of wood and other materials that washed up on the beach near her home;[18] most often her constructions reflected the area around her North Fork home, but sometimes the pieces reflected her travels to the Caribbean and abroad.[10]\nParsons' work has been exhibited in a number of galleries, including the Anita Shapolsky Gallery in New York City, Spanierman Gallery in New York City, Virginia Miller Galleries in Coral Gables, Florida, and Whitechapel Art Gallery in London.[19][20][21]\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/queerplaces/images/Betty_Parsons",

        "raw_content": "Home / Browse / Little Rock Zoo\nThe Little Rock Zoo is Arkansas\u2019s only public zoo. Since its beginning, the zoo has grown and become a major attraction in Little Rock (Pulaski County).\nThe zoo began in 1926, with only an abandoned timber wolf and a brown bear. Soon after, the Arkansas Democrat began a public campaign for the zoo and bought three buffalo with the funds it had raised. The public donated small animals, while others were donated through the help of the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission. The city bought a lion, and several deer were donated. The zoo was then part of the Little Rock Parks and Recreation Department.\nIn 1928, the city hired a carnival, and the zoo received the proceeds of its shows. The money, about $4,000, was used to help buy animals from other zoos. At that time, the zoo had about three dozen animals, including two alligators. By 1930, the value of the animals and buildings in which they were housed was more than $50,000. In 1936, the value was $118,729. Attendance climbed from 158,437 annually in 1947 to 235,817 in 1953. During this period, between 1947 and 1953, two lions and two tigers were added.\nSome animals have brought many visitors to the zoo. One such animal was Big Arkie, a thirteen-foot alligator found in Yellowstone Creek in 1952. After spending the night in a small pool, Big Arkie was transported to the zoo in a crate. An estimated 3,000 people came to see him on his first day, and he continued to draw crowds during his eighteen years there. At his death, he was believed to be the largest captive alligator in the western hemisphere.\nMany citizens and organizations have also helped the zoo. The Civitan Club of Little Rock began association with the zoo in 1953. Through the Civitan Club, the zoo built a children\u2019s area, which had a mule, a donkey, an otter pool, and three pigs. The club bought a miniature train for the zoo and, in 1998, gave $100,000 for the construction of an outdoor amphitheater.\nThe Little Rock Zoo Docents was organized in 1975, and the Little Rock Zoo Explorer Post was established in 1977. The members of these two groups support the zoo by caring for the animals.\nIn 1998, a pivotal point in the zoo\u2019s history, the city lost its license from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to display animals when officials missed the renewal deadline by ten days. To regain the license, the zoo had to pass inspection, but it failed to do so and faced closure. In July, the American Zoo and Aquarium Association withdrew accreditation, but things improved when the zoo passed the third federal inspection. About two years later, it regained accreditation.\nThe zoo is now its own department under the city and is still expanding. Special events, such as \u201cBoo at the Zoo\u201d at Halloween, have proven very popular.\nIn April 2016, the zoo opened its Arkansas Heritage Farm exhibit in partnership with Heifer International. The interactive exhibit features sheep, chickens, turkeys, geese, pygmy goats, and miniature horses and donkeys.\nLittle Rock Zoo. http://www.littlerockzoo.com (accessed August 15, 2016).\nConor J.

        "raw_content": "I fully reject the grain-based, fat-phobic food pyramid that has been taught to physicians, health care workers and the general public for the past several decades.\nThis way of eating has made (and is keeping) us fat, sick, depressed and miserable; while enabling huge multi-national pharmaceutical companies and food processors to turn HUGE profits from our suffering.\nAnd... the diet and fitness industry has done nothing except capitalize on our suffering. Most times, this industry causes more long term damage than anything. Overtraining and ill advised diets often lead to permanent damage to our metabolism and our endocrine systems. Sadly, these industries are loaded with undertrained, incompetent or uncertified personnel who may present themselves as being credible experts. Caveat emptor.\nWhy I Do This...\nWhen I initiated my business, I really wanted to specialize in weight loss. I have a history of morbid obesity myself, and I thought that this kind of personal experience plus some formal education would be a killer combination for a career as a weight loss councillor. I was wrong.\nIt seems like people did not want to hear my message about weight loss by returning to our natural diet and making some real lifestyle changes. Rather, the overwhelming majority appeared to want pills, shakes, HCG shots, cabbage soup diet, Master Cleanse diet, Jenny Craig, or any diet plan that promises fast easy weight loss without changing their habits much, if at all.\nI simply can not compete with the lies being propagated by the billion dollar weight loss industry. After one year, I decided to change the focus of my business to promoting the Paleo/ancestral diet and lifestyle and the health benefits that it can bring. Incidentally, weight loss is usually a side effect.\nI can clearly see that the government, media, processed food manufacturers and billion dollar pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies have taken control of our food supply, our health care system and even public and private education.\nInformation and research about what really constitutes healthy eating is often altered or hidden in order to serve financial agendas or to maintain a good image to the public.\nWorst of all, people are becoming sick, injured and are dying because they trust this advice, which is propelled by money and ego.\nNow You Know the \"Why\". Here is the \"Who\". Photos and Video At The End...\nA marketing professional whom I respect once said to me, \u201c The people who make the very best drug counselors are people who have, at one time, been drug addicts themselves.\u201d\nAs a child, I was overweight and so endured nearly daily teasing and social isolation from children and adults alike. As statistics predict, with maturity my weight problem became worse.\nBy age 30, I was morbidly obese with high blood sugars. I was over 100 pounds overweight. My blood sugars were spiking and crashing and my back was giving out.\nVascular disease, heart disease and diabetes run rampant in both sides of my family, and I had seen the effects of poor nutrition and obesity in several of my relatives, both near and distant. I was becoming increasingly terrified for my future health. I knew that I had to get serious, and it had to be now.\nDoctors and dieticians were of no help, and well-intentioned friends and family gave misguided advice. I set about to find out the truth about good nutrition and health. What a \"needle in a haystack\" endeavour that turned out to be.\nI followed the Canadian Food Guide. I ate the Special K and drank the skim milk. I ate whole grains, fruits and vegetables. I ate low fat, then I tried high fat. I tried eating more, then tried starving the fat off by eating 2 apples a day for weeks. I did the \u201cDiabetic Diet\u201d. I did virtually all of the diets\u2026 the big \u2018diet chains\u2019, the grapefruit diet, the cabbage soup diet. I ate all of the 'diet foods'. I read all of the diet books. I exercised until I vomited. I did hours of cardio, HIIT, lifted heavy weights. In my mid 30's, I even managed to lose enough weight to compete as an amateur bodybuilder at a few local shows. I lost the weight only to gain it back, plus more every time.\nI had to un-learn a lot of bad information that I had picked up over the years from TV (now made worse by such personalities as Dr. Oz), magazines, news reports, people around me, the diet industry and even trusted professionals. Plus, like everyone else, my eating habits were engrained from birth.\nAfter completing a Certified Holistic Nutrition program (C.H.N), health and wellness certs and attending seminars and taking more courses in evolutionary biology, I found out that...\nThe truth was actually not right in front of me. Rather, it was behind me. About 10,000 years behind me.\nMy Own Transformation...\nThe photos and video below tell the story better than I can...\nTo be fair, I lost 110 pounds on my own, and weighed 140 pounds. From there, a trainer was used to guide me through the contest preparation dieting and dehydration. This process took an additional 15 pounds off and got me on stage at 125 pounds.",

        "raw_content": "Home > New World Wines > Californian and United States Wines\nWine Production in the U.S. is as old as colonial America itself. It is natural that when the first European settlers arrived they bought with them grape vines which were soon expertly grown in appropriate climates.\nWine is grown across the United States, and not just in California, as one might be forgiven for thinking \u2013 California produces by far the most wine in all of America.\nHistory of Wine in the USA\nGrapes were readily grown in the U.S. before the arrival of colonial settlers, leading the U.S. to be first dubbed \u2018Vinland\u2019 (land of vines), a point echoed in novelist Thomas Pynchon\u2019s satirical look at the U.S. way of life called \u2018Vineland\u2019.\nIt was soon discovered by settlers that none of the grapes grown in the U.S. were of the Vitis Vinifera variety (the variety that all wine is made from). Consequently attempts were made to cultivate Vitis Vinifera in the U.S. Initial production resulted in fairly poor wines made from grapes that though of the Vitis Vinifera variety were not ideally suited to quality wine production.\nGradual advances were made however, and Californian wines slowly improved up until the prohibition. Under the \u2018prohibition\u2019 the production and consumption of alcohol was banned (1920-1933). This had two results: It led to illicit drinking and spun a web of crime around the alcohol market, making it a much more dangerous substance than it had previously been, and it led to wide scale production of inferior drinks. It would take American wine a long time to recover from this. Whereas California was beginning to establish itself as a wine producing region prior to prohibition, after prohibition the state became known for poor dessert wines.\nInterestingly, whilst regional reputations are quick to suffer where poor wines are produced; it takes many years for a region to recover their reputation \u2013 even if they produce excellent wines. It was Andre Tchelistceff who from 1938 onwards was credited with having the foresight to develop quality European style wine making techniques in the U.S. This policy railed against the tendency of Americans to drink only cheap sweet wines.\nCalifornian Wine Develops a World Beating Reputation\nBy the 1970\u2019s U.S. wine had developed an outstanding reputation, sometimes beating European wines in International competitions. California is now one of the biggest quality wine producers worldwide, and one of the most familiar producers for U.K. supermarket shoppers.\nCalifornia tends to excel in the low to mid range market, producing good French style wines, often incorporating the noble grapes \u2018Merlot\u2019 and \u2018Cabernet Sauvignon\u2019. Not being French is actually one of California greatest advantages. Where the French would be loathe to mix certain grapes (Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, for example) the Californians have cut their reputation through wanton experimentation, producing some exceptional wines. This has involved novel blends, as well as pushing the limits of varietal wines: The Californian Syrah pushes this grapes spicy elements to the extreme.\nBesides California Washington and Oregon are the most noteworthy wine producing regions in the U.S, both of which produce high quality Burgundy style wines.\nApart from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah, Chardonnay, Riesling and Gerwurtztraminer are also grown effectively in the U.S.A. It is this mixture of adherence to popular old European grapes and producing methods, admixed with a willingness to experiment that characterises the bold and ambitious wines of North America.",

        "raw_content": "A common concern for many cosmetic surgery patients involve areas of unwanted, stubborn areas of fat that are difficult to get rid of with diet and exercise alone. Whether you are hoping to re-contour your body after pregnancy, experience bulges of fat along your back and sides, or pincheable areas around your thighs, localized areas of fat can be hard to get rid of permanently.\nOne of the most popular cosmetic procedures performed all around the world is liposuction\u2013 and for good reason. This cosmetic surgery can safely, effectively, and permanently remove sebaceous fat and re-define the contours of your body. Though liposuction is an effective method to remove stubborn areas of fat, it involves incisions and a period of time to recover, which some individuals may not be able to afford.\nIn recent years, non-invasive body contouring procedures have surged in popularity because they require almost zero downtime and provides excellent results. These treatments do not require anesthesia or incisions, and the vast majority of patients are able to return to their day to day activities almost immediately.\nHow Do Non-Invasive Body Contouring Procedures Work?\nThere are many fat reducing body contouring treatments available on the market today, and each uses different modalities to specifically target and eliminate stubborn fat deposits through a topical procedure, as opposed to a surgical one. Popular non-invasive body contouring procedures include the following:\nCoolSculpting. CoolSculpting is the most ideal for candidates who are close to or at their ideal weight but would like to reduce small, localized areas of fat on their stomach, arms, hips, or thighs. Using a process called cryolipolysis, a device is used to freeze unwanted fat cells to the point of death without harming surrounding skin, tissue, or muscle. Once they are frozen, the fat cells are flushed from the body and naturally eliminated within days and weeks after the procedure. Your final results will usually be noticeable within 1 to 3 months, and your body will continue flushing out the cells for up to 6 months. Repeated treatments can help achieve and maintain optimal results.\ntruSculpt. truSculpt works very similarly to that of CoolSculpting but uses controlled radiofrequency technology to get rid of stubborn fat deposits on the stomach, hips, thighs, back, and buttocks. The treatment process usually takes approximately one hour and a series of two treatments is usually required to achieve both noticeable and optimal results.\nZerona. Zerona is slightly different than the previously mentioned methods of non-invasive fat removal because the results are usually noticeable within several weeks or even less! The cold laser targets sebaceous fat cells that cause the storage form of fat to expel from the cell. Then, the body will naturally flush out and get eliminated from the body, which results in the shrinkage of the fat cell itself.\nThese treatments are recommended and would provide the best results to patients who are close to or at their ideal weight, but would like to reduce localized fat in troublesome areas that are difficult to eliminate with diet and exercise. Patients should be realistic about their expectations in that they should expect no more than a 25% reduction of fat in the treatment areas. It is also important to note that non-invasive body contouring treatments will not provide you with the benefits of skin contracture, which occurs with traditional means of fat removal such as liposuction.\nNon-Invasive Body Contouring Recovery\nOne of the reasons why fat freezing and other forms of non-invasive body contouring procedures have surged in popularity is because there is zero downtime associated with the procedure. Often times, our patients are able to return to the usual hustle and bustle of their day to day lives immediately following their session. For a few weeks after your procedure, you may experience slight numbness in the treatment area while the fat is in the process of being eliminated. It is also normal to experience bruising in the treatment area, as well as some tenderness and redness that will resolve on its own.",

        "raw_content": "Life Modifications\nI've meant to write this post since Saturday, but I've been having a tough time getting the energy to do it. On Friday, I had a major blood pressure spike that sent me straight over to Labor & Delivery at the hospital. We got there at about 2:30ish in the afternoon - give or take... it might have been earlier, but I think that's about the time they started working on me.\nWe started off monitoring my blood pressure and the baby's heart beat/contractions. I wasn't sure at the time, because I thought Tyler was just ticked off at the monitor... but those tight feelings I was having were indeed contractions.\nAs the night wore on, my temperature was up and white blood cell count high... so they did a catheter to check for a bladder infection. (Not a pleasant way the end a week!!) At about midnight - they finally got the word from the doctor that it was okay for me to go home, and that for at least this week - I will be on modified bed rest.\nModified bed rest - as I understand it - means that I can still get up and do a few things, but that for the most part... I am to rest and stay off my feet. I'm hopeful that this will allow me to be able to rest while also getting James' Life Book completed for our next meeting with the adoption agency in a couple of weeks. Crafting fits in with resting, right?\nJames is still spending the week at the sitter's during the day so that I can rest, and we'll see what the doctor says. I go back tomorrow afternoon to see her, and possibly again later in the week. She mentioned seeing me at least once a week if not twice... so good times!\nI've had some minor back pain and maybe one contraction since I've been home... and my blood pressure has inched toward the high side once, but nothing like it was on Friday. I guess that I'll have plenty of time to write on this old blog and hopefully catch up on some of the other blogs out there this week - while I'm trying to find things to entertain myself with... so those of you that have felt neglected because of my lack of reading/commenting... I'm going to give it my best shot to give you some love while I'm off work.\nI will post some cute photos of James' adventures lately, and let you know how things are going with the bed rest stuff... and what the doctor is saying my future holds. Until then... I think I'm heading back to bed for a nap.\nI'm glad that you're getting the rest you & Tyler need this week. I'd say that crafting is definitely allowed! I don't about you, but it relaxes me. It sounds like that's exactly what you need.\nAnd don't let me find out you're checking work emails from home, miss!\nGlad you're getting some much-needed rest this week! Being home sounds DIVINE! :)",

A recognized, broad multi-stakeholder platform, each MFW has had a particular focus, and in Lebanon it will be the Paris Agreement. The 6th MFW also aims to raise the profile of Mediterranean forests, highlighting their important social significance for the Mediterranean populations and countries and their central role in developing resilience in addressing climate change.\nThe importance of the Committee on Mediterranean Forestry Questions-Silva Mediterranea\nJos\u00e9 Manuel Jaquotot, Chairperson of Silva Mediterranea, explains why the Committee is such an important, collaborative FAO body for the countries of the Mediterranean region, addressing major forestry-related problems common to Silva Mediterranea member countries. He continues by describing the Agadir Commitment, a landscape-restoration and landscape-degradation initiative endorsed in Agadir Morocco in 2017 that aims at restoring, on a voluntary basis, 8 million hectares of land in the region by 2030, facilitated and monitored by Silva Mediterranea.\nThe Agadir Commitment\nImprove Forest and Landscape Restoration, Land Degradation Neutrality and biodiversity conservation in the Mediterranean\nThe fifth Mediterranean Forest Week, held in Agadir, Morocco, culminated on March 24, 2017 with the \"Agadir commitment\" endorsed by ten countries - Algeria, France, Iran, Israel, Lebanon, Morocco, Portugal, Spain, Tunisia, and Turkey \u2013 and strongly supported by several international organizations - to improve Forest and Landscape Restoration (FLR), Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) and biodiversity conservation efforts in the Mediterranean region. This Agadir Commitment proposes to establish a new Regional Mediterranean Initiative on FLR to support the achievement of the Bonn Challenge and Sustainable Development Goal 15 (SDG15). It also encourages political and administrative authorities at the national level, as well as stakeholders involved in the management of Mediterranean forest ecosystems and other wooded lands, to strengthen their respective FLR efforts in the context of the United Nations Strategic Plan for Forests 2017-2030 of the United Nations Forum for Forests (UNFF) and in line with the global FLR objectives of the Rio Conventions and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

        "raw_content": "Hey Everyone! So as you know my blog has taken a bit of a back seat at the moment. I just have had so much stuff going on in my life along with my laptop being in for repair and me still not heading to John Lewis to pick it up because I literally don't have the time. However I have had the time I need to come back to my blog with some fresh ideas, new posts lined up and more time in my life to now focus on my blog as well. I have split this post into a few categories with a brief overview of what has happened. Keep reading to find out what has been going on with me lately.\nPersonal: Yes, sadly relationships is what makes this personal section have to be included. This part of my life sadly hasn't been great. From getting messed about with to being cheated on I've had it all these past couple of months and unfortunately it hasn't made me the happiest person at all. However, everything happens for a reason and I am super thankful those guys are now out of my life. I don't really tend to past my 'love' life all over the internet as it's something that is quite personal to me and something I never ever have luck with. Like I said this is bottom of my priority list at the moment anyway and I'm focusing more on myself first as if I'm not happy how can I expect to make someone else happy. My mental health has to come first and unless I meet someone who can understand that I'm staying far away. It's more trouble than it's worth.\nWork: This is one part of my life I'm actually super happy with at the moment. Yes shift work can be absolutely exhausting and make me the moodiest person you will ever meet but still, I love my job. Working for an airline is something I've wanted to do my entire life. I've always loved to travel and I just love the hustle and bustle of the airport. However it has taken a lot of my time over the past few months. As you all probably know if you've been following this blog for a while now I've been to Mauritius twice this year and went on a week long trip to Yorkshire in August and I'm heading on a 4 day trip to Germany in December too and I've been working loads to get this time off which is good as I love my job but it has been tiring. I have also recently become permanent which I am super pleased about as I must have been doing something right. It is on a part time basis at the moment which I'm not particularly keen on but at least it means I can devote that time to my blog as well as my friends and family so it's not all that bad. Fingers crossed I get a full time contract soon though!\nFriends and Family: My Mum and brother have just come back from a month long trip to Mauritius so my Dad and I have been the only ones in the house and between working most days and not really getting time to sit down and catch up on each other's days we have had to clean, wash, cook, visit other family all whilst making sure we can take calls from my Mum and brother in Mauritius. It has been quite exhausting. Friendship wise, I have lost a couple of friends this year including one of my best friends from school sadly due to the fact I was so busy and didn't really communicate more. We were never able to fully resolve this and it is something that has upset me quite a bit as she was one of my best friends and a person I thought would always be there but I can understand where she's come from which is another reason why I'm glad my schedule is going to be a lot less hectic now as it means I can now work on building my friendships more and being there for them a lot more than I have been and just become a better friend.\nOther Bits and Bobs: Other things I've been doing more include reading more. I love books and I love reading and discovering new books. I've also been spending a lot of time watching new films, going on long walks and just trying hard to move more instead of being constantly set on a chair either at work or at home and it's helped lots. I've learnt a lot more and have had a clearer head as well. It's doing this things that is helping me become a more positive person.\nSo as you can see life has been fairly stressful for me at the moment. However now heading towards Christmas and New Year I want to end 2016 on a high so I look forward to spending more time with friends and family, enjoying my working life, working on my blog more and just genuinely looking forward to my overall happiness improving. It's something that I think plays a huge importance on your overall health and wellbeing and definitely something I'm going to make a lot of time for.\nI hope you enjoyed this post and like I said at the beginning I have got quite a few posts lined up over the next few weeks that I am excited to get to work on and for you all to read. Leave me a comment below to let me know what kinds of posts to like to see on my blog or even what you think I could do to make my blog a bit better. It is something I want to improve on so hearing your thoughts would be amazing.",

A total of 97 participants took part to the self-training activities; among them, 42% came from the research and academic world, while 58% from other kind of institutions. It is worth mentioning the relevant participation of geoenvironmental companies (21%, mainly SMEs) and governmental institutions with roles in water management issues (18% of the participants). In addition, a total number of 42 students took part in the self-training activities, both as part of the Core Training Groups or within MSc courses in 8 different countries. A relevant milestone reached is that FREEWAT starts to be used as tool for delivering classes in MSc Courses. A total of 55 Institutions were involved in Task 3.1 in 20 countries both EU and non-EU. Finally, it is worth recalling that a basic course using a very preliminary version of FREEWAT (course title: FREEWAT: open source groundwater modeling integrated in GIS environment) was given as pre-congress course at IAH 2015 in Rome on September 12th 2015 and attended by 19 participants (further info at: http://www.iah2015.org/pre-congress-courses-and-workshops/#3).\nFrom May the 1st 2016 to end of July 2016 one week training was delivered at the premises of each case study partner (SSSA, UNESCO, METCENAS, ZETA, RT, IEI, ERU, NTUA/AMD, INHGA, PRN, UTARTU, TSNUK, BUGS, SUPSI) by the FREEWAT Steering Group (SSSA, TEA, TUDa, IDAEA-CSIC and SUPSI).\nThe specific objectives of these courses were: 1) to demonstrate all the platform capabilities and its potential application to each case study, 2) to serve as testing phase as functionalities implementation are completed, 3) to serve as the basis for building capacities at national level in further phases of this project (Task 3.3). The course included several lectures on the different modules of the FREEWAT software platform, including a theoretical part and a set of exercises to practice the capabilities of each module developed. Participants to these courses provided several suggestions and feedbacks that have been taken into account for the release of version 0.3.2 of the FREEWAT platform and for the final version of the training material.\nA total of 99 people (excluding MSc and undergraduate students) participated in various Training of trainers courses; among them, 37% came from the research and academia and the rest from other entities, such as: the 24% from governmental institutions with roles in water management issues, the 17% from geoenvironmental companies, the 6% from environmental agencies, the 2% from water utilities and 5% from River Basin Authorities, while a 5% were professionals belonging to local authorities involved in water management and 4%. Furthermore, a total of 8 MSc students and 1 undergraduate student participate in these courses. A total of 50 institutions from 17 different countries both EU and non-EU were then involved in Task 3.2.\nThe present version of the training material is a compilation of lectures, tutorials and exercises oriented to demonstrate the FREEWAT platform capabilities.",

        "raw_content": "PokerStars and Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood Team Up for Action-Packed Poker Schedule\nONCHAN, Isle of Man \u2013 PokerStars and Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood have teamed up to bring Florida players an action-packed live poker schedule throughout November, when PokerStars will award three Platinum Passes to the PokerStars Players No Limit Hold\u2019em Championship (PSPC), which will take place in the Bahamas in January 2019. Each Platinum Pass is worth approximately $30,000 and includes a $25,000 PSPC buy-in, accommodation at the Atlantis Paradise Island Resort and approximately $2,000 for travel and expenses.\nThe month-long program consists of the Moneymaker PSPC Tour, the Feeding South Florida Charity Poker Tournament, and Seminole Hard Rock\u2019s Rock \u2018N\u2019 Roll Poker Open series.\nMoneymaker PSPC Tour\nPokerStars Ambassador Chris Moneymaker will be among hundreds of hopefuls keen to make their mark at the Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood Poker Room from November 9-11, 2018 when the Moneymaker PSPC Tour makes its final stop of the series. The event will guarantee a $30,000 prize pool and offer players the chance to win life-changing sums of money by parlaying an $86 buy-in into a Platinum Pass. Starting flights will take place at 10 a.m. on November 9 and 10, with Day 2 kicking off at noon on Sunday, November 11.\n\u201dWith multiple major series throughout the year, as well as some of the best cash action in the region, Seminole Hard Rock has really made a name for itself as one of the Meccas of the poker world,\u201d said Chris Moneymaker. \u201cBringing the Moneymaker PSPC Tour to Hollywood was a no-brainer and we\u2019re eager to change the life of one of the property\u2019s players by awarding him or her a $30,000 Platinum Pass for only an $86 buy-in. I will be on site and in the field for this can\u2019t-miss event.\u201d\nTo date more than 4,000 entrants have participated in the Moneymaker PSPC Tour, Chris\u2019 brainchild. Four more $86 buy-in tournaments, each awarding cash prizes and a Platinum Pass, are scheduled as follows:\n10-Oct to 14-Oct at Live!, Baltimore, Maryland\n23-Oct to 23-Oct at Run It Up Reno, Reno, Nevada\n31-Oct to 02-Nov at Talking Stick, Phoenix, Arizona\n9-Nov to 11-Nov at Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood, Florida\nFeeding South Florida Charity Tournament\nFollowing Hurricane Irma in 2017, PokerStars and Seminole Hard Rock united to raise important funds for the relief effort in South Florida. Last year\u2019s charity poker tournament raised more than $66,000 and this year\u2019s charity tournament will continue to raise funds for the organization, directly helping those most in need of assistance.\nThis year\u2019s $300 buy-in event will commence on Tuesday, November 13 at the resort\u2019s new Hard Rock Event Center. A player pre-party will kick-off the evening at 6 p.m., with the tournament starting at 7 p.m. Players can re-enter the tournament during the first two hours. More than $50,000 in cash and prizes, including a PSPC Platinum Pass, will be up for grabs.\nSue Hammett, Department Head, Corporate Giving at The Stars Group said, \u201cPokerStars is delighted to once again work with Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood to raise money for Feeding South Florida. Last year we saw players getting behind a charity poker tournament in the wake of Hurricane Irma and this event will once again enable them to support a charity which makes an important difference in Florida, with the added bonus of the chance to win a much sought-after Platinum Pass.\u201d\nRock \u2018N\u2019 Roll Poker Open\nFrom November 14\u201327, players who play in any tournament (multiple entries and re-entries permitted) during the Rock \u2018N\u2019 Roll Poker Open at Seminole Hard Rock will earn an entry in a drawing for a Platinum Pass. The drawing is set to take place on November 28. So far, $330,000 worth of Platinum Passes have been awarded to 11 U.S. players.\nFind out more about current PSPC winners here.\nFor further information, please contact press@pokerstarslive.com",

        "raw_content": "Last week, the FCC released the date and details of both the start of spectrum incentive auctions and changes to the RF spectrum that will remain available for wireless microphones.\nWith the ever-greater use of mobile broadband and the internet-of-things, the demand for RF bandwidth is immense, so television broadcasters are being asked to relocate and vacate, and secondary users like wireless microphones, wireless intercoms, and in-ear monitoring systems will be forced out, too.\nThe start of the auctions will be May 31, 2016. While details are not yet fully known, it appears that wireless microphone users will have 126MHz less RF spectrum available and that use of frequencies above 566MHz will become obsolete (and illegal) at some point.\nWhen users will be required to vacate the use of frequencies above 566MHz is not yet known, but in previous announcements, the time period of 42 months has been mentioned. From this point forward, you will begin to see a transition to new technology, the reuse of the VHF spectrum and placement of microphones in the 900MHz and 2.4GHz portions of the RF spectrum.\nThe primary takeaway from this announcement is that you should avoid purchasing wireless systems with operating ranges between 566-700MHz, if you plan to use them for more than a few years.\nIf you have questions about how this impacts your set-up, or if we can help with planning during this time of transition, please be in touch. And of course, we will keep you informed as we learn more.",

        "raw_content": "Repairing homes, and so much more\nReprinted with permission from The State newspaper, Wednesday, June 13, 2012\nBy CINDI ROSS SCOPPE\nVALLE CRUCIS , N.C. -- Lady Jane moved to the North Carolina mountains when she was looking for a change and someone kept leaving a copy of the Blowing Rock newspaper on her stoop. She considered it providence, and over the next 30 years she settled in, made friends and helped found an Orthodox Church mission in nearby Boone.\nAs she advanced in years, the one-time socialite whose second husband was knighted by the Ecumenical Patriarch of the Eastern Orthodox Church found herself turned into what she refers to as \"the impoverished gentility.\" As she grew unsteady on her feet and no longer could drive, the stunning vistas and solitude that had been such a welcome change from her cosmopolitan life gave way to isolation. Today, she refuses to use her wheelchair, says she is able to get around with a cane because she's too stubborn not to and is convinced that God still has work for her to do.\nBut little things have become challenging, even dangerous. Like the dilapidated floor in the living areas of her mountaintop home, with its cracking and peeling vinyl just waiting to catch the edge of a shoe and send her tumbling.\nLast week, while most of their peers were luxuriating in those first magical days of summer vacation, two high school students, two college students, a carpenter from Bethlehem and I laid a new floor for Lady Jane. (She quite properly insisted that it was no longer appropriate to call her Lady Jane, and I quite petulantly insisted that we would call her that if we pleased.)\n\"Last week, while most of their peers were luxuriating in those first magical days of summer vacation, two high school students, two college students, a carpenter from Bethlehem and I laid a new floor for Lady Jane.\"\nWhile most teenagers were sleeping late and staying up later, these four and 22 others from Columbia, Aiken and Charleston were crawling out of bed for a morning prayer service at 7 and, after evening services in the medieval-style church at our compound, minding the nonnegotiable 10 p.m. lights out.\nIn that, they were no different from the hundreds of other youths and adults from South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia and Louisiana who participate in a Home Works mission project every year, or the thousands more who participate in similar programs across the state and nation. Last year, 1,747 volunteers repaired 147 homes through the Columbia-based ministry. Since Home Works was founded in 1996, more than 25,000 people have volunteered to help more than 1,700 homeowners, repairing roofs and floors and walls, building wheelchair ramps, painting, doing yard work, installing smoke detectors and making electrical and plumbing repairs.\nHome Works' mission is to \"show God's love for all through service to others and to assist others in their faith journey\" by \"providing home repairs to homeowners in need, assisting youth in their development and empowering communities to meet the needs of its members.\" Materials cost an average of $2,000 per home, and nearly 98 cents of every dollar donated to the organization goes to program costs.\nMost volunteers work in their hometowns (two sessions were held last week in Columbia), but some volunteer for a two-week work trip to Peru and weeklong events on James Island and at a former Episcopal monastery and school at Valle Crucis, just outside Boone.\nThe Rev. James Lyon IV has been leading the Valle Crucis work trip and predecessor trips into other parts of the Appalachians for 28 years, the past 21 as rector of the Church of the Good Shepherd in Columbia, which provides generous financial support and most of the adult volunteers.\nThis year, our ecumenical group of traditional and Anglo-Catholic Episcopalians and Roman Catholics had 14 adult volunteers: Fr. Lyon, the Rev. Joseph Whitehurst of St. Thaddeus Episcopal Church in Aiken, the youth leaders from St. Thaddeus, St. Joseph Catholic Church in Columbia and Stella Maris Roman Catholic Church on Sullivan's Island, a nurse, an electrician, a cabinetmaker/carpenter, a skilled handyman, two people who are helpful with repairs, the mother of a camper, a Latin teacher and me.\nFr. Lyon asked me to come on the work trip five years ago, for reasons that I still don't quite understand, and I agreed, for reasons that likewise remain elusive.\nEveryone has a different reason for volunteering the first time. Some on the work trips simply want to get away from their parents for a week. Many participate because their friends do, or because their youth group is involved or their parish has a strong tradition of participation. Some are drawn to service or have service requirements at their schools.\nThey come back - and the vast majority do come back, at least on our trip - because they were touched in some way by the experience. By the friends they made and the fun they had, by the Christian fellowship, by the sense of community that enveloped them, by the satisfaction of helping others, of following Christ's directive that we love our neighbors as ourselves.\nOn Friday, one of the boys urged everyone to find a way to continue sharing that love by being kind to and helping people after they left this cloistered community and returned home.\nThe next morning, before we left, one of the girls told her new friends that they could look at the experience as \"going a week without our phones, getting up in the cold, being away from a lot of our friends, or we can think about how much we mean to the people we serve.\"\nLady Jane was delighted by her new floor. More than that, she was delighted by the time we spent together, which she likened to a vacation.\nShe made hummus and baba ghanoush for Tawfiq Hodaly, the carpenter from Bethlehem and operations manager for St. Joseph with whom I have been paired on all five of our work trips. She gave me her copies of the Book of Common Prayer, printed in 1908, 1929 and 1945, and an Episcopal hymnal printed in 1892. She invited Kati, Abi, Sabrina and Conner to split up her 1906 set of the complete works of Shakespeare.\nAnd like so many of the people we serve through these projects, she enriched our lives every bit as much as we did hers.\nMs. Scoppe can be reached at cscoppe@thestate.com or at (803) 771-8571. Read more of her columns at thestate.com/scoppe,\nLady Jane in 2012 in front of a painting of younger self.",

This bold approach will aid the efforts of various companies in the coming years for keystone infrastructure projects such as High Speed 2, Crossrail 2 and the development of \u2018smart motorways\u2019 across the UK.\nEmma Jones, Crown Representative for Small Business, says:\n\u201cThe new CCS contract is shorter and easier to understand and takes a more standardised approach. This should save SMEs time and money when deciding to bid for CCS deals and I welcome the approach.\u201d\nThe new simplified procurement process from the Crown Commercial Service is due to be replicated at Government-owned Network Rail. Named the Supplier Qualification System (SQS), this new technology-driven platform is set to become the primary source for future procurement opportunities within the rail industry.\nNetwork Rail is expected to procure \u00a32 billion worth of goods and services over the next decade, and the new centrepiece system will cut out bureaucracy by streamlining suppliers\u2019 progress through the bidding process, providing a more efficient procurement procedure.\nhttps://www.trackerintelligence.com/resources/procurement-news/easier-bid-government-tenders/",

        "raw_content": "Since \"Jude,\" \"Juda,\" Judas,\" and \"Judah\" are all variants of the same name, and since Judah was one of the sons of Jacob, we find one or another form of this name many times in the Bible. This Jude, or as he is called in Matthew 13:55 , Judas, identifies himself as \"the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James.\" Although he does not say so, he is also the brother of our Lord Jesus, as was James. His great concern in this epistle is to warn the saints against the false teachers that have come in unawares, and are trying to lead the saints astray.\n(Verses 1 and 2) \"Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them who are sanctified by God the Father, preserved in Jesus Christ, and called: mercy unto you, and peace, and love be multiplied.\"\nJude here identifies himself as a \"servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James.\" His letter is addressed to, \"them who are sanctified by God the Father, preserved in Jesus Christ, and called.\" Thus he acknowledges the work of the Trinity in the salvation of the saints; for they are \"elect according to the foreknowledge of God,\" the Father, the blood of Christ Jesus redeems and keeps them, and the Holy Ghost calls them. This letter is to those who have thus been sanctified by God the Father, preserved in Jesus the Christ, and called. Now his prayer for them is that mercy, peace, and love be multiplied unto them.\n(Verses 3 and 4) \"Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered to the saints. For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.\"\nJude's phrase, \"common salvation,\" seems to have given some much trouble in understanding. It has no reference to this salvation's being \"common\" in the sense of being any less valuable than some other. Its only meaning is that it is provided in common to all God's elect, just as much to one as to another. It is that great salvation which is wrought out by Christ Jesus for every one of His saints, from the least to the greatest. \"Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered to the saints,\" shows clearly a change from the subject he had intended to write about. There is little said in this epistle about salvation. Starting with verse 4, and continuing through verse 19, the whole subject is the false teachers who have crept in. So evidently what he is saying is that, when he had very diligently considered writing about salvation, he found himself faced with an even more pressing problem, which needed addressing, \"To write unto you and exhort you that ye earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered to the saints.\" \"The faith which was once delivered to the saints\" is that whole body of truth which we call the gospel, especially the doctrines that set forth Jesus as the Christ, the Son of the living God, and as having by the offering of Himself to God as the sacrifice for sins, with no help and no need of help from any other, for ever put away the sins of His people, together with the doctrine of His resurrection, ascension, and promised return for all those who look for His appearing. As he continues, Jude tells us why this change of subject matter is necessary. \"For there are certain men crept in unawares.\" This shows the insidiousness of Satan and his ministers. They do not come boldly up, and declare their enmity against our Lord. Instead they creep in, pretending to love Him. And when they have gained the confidence of some of the saints, they begin, little by little, to project their own false doctrines, by setting forth an idea here, and a thought there, without alarming any except those who are well acquainted with, and well grounded in \"the faith which was once delivered to the saints.\" These are ungodly men who have from long ago been ordained (appointed, prepared, or any other word of similar meaning) to this condemnation. They turn the grace of God into lasciviousness. That is, they use the doctrine of salvation by grace as a license to sin, and fulfill all their evil lusts, saying, \"If we are saved by the grace of God, and not by works, we can do any thing we please and still be saved, so we can continue in sin as before.\" The Apostle Paul's answer to this lie is, \"God forbid. How can we that are dead to sin, live any longer therein\". They, unless stopped by those who know the truth, will continue on with worse and worse teachings, until finally they come out boldly and deny \"the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.\" Notice that Jude does not say, \"their Lord Jesus Christ\" for this HE CERTAINLY IS NOT, so far as a saving relationship is concerned, albeit they will find on the day of judgment, and will be made to acknowledge that \"Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of the Father.\" The Apostle John, in both his first and second epistles, leaves no doubt that those who do not believe that Jesus is the Son of God, HAVE NOT GOD, but are of antichrist; and Jude's language certainly bears witness of the same. With such men and their doctrines having crept in at the time of this writing, one hardly needs to be surprised at who, and what, are presently among us.\n(Verses 5 through 7) \"I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt , afterward destroyed them that believed not. And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, He hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.\"\nIt is often necessary that our memory be refreshed concerning the works of God. We, of course, prefer to be reminded of the blessings He has given us, instead of the judgments and chastisements He has sent. But the latter are often necessary as well. We are familiar with the wanderings of Israel on their journey from Egypt to the land of Canaan , and how that the Lord, because of their unbelief, made them wander in the wilderness until a whole generation of them, with the exception of Caleb and Joshua, had died. However it seems that Jude's reference here specially concerns those who because of their unbelief rebelled against Moses and God, and were destroyed in a violent manner by the judgments of God, more than the remainder of Israel . Then He mentions \"the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation\". There are few scriptures that deal with the record of these \"fallen angels,\" but there are enough to give us the general idea that, Satan was himself created an angel, as were all the demons over which he is now the prince. Our Lord Himself said, \"I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.\" Jude says, \"The angels which kept not their first estate,\" that position in which they were first installed, \"but left their own habitation, He hath reserved in chains [bonds] under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.\" The objection may be raised that Satan and his hordes are still loose and roaming the earth today. While this has some truth in it, they still are bound, in that limitations are set beyond which they cannot pass, just as, in our worldly court system, a criminal awaiting trial, may be \"out on bond\" instead of being locked up in jail, but there are restrictions placed upon him by that bond. The difference between our analogy and the reality is that in our court system we are not always able to enforce the restrictions of the bond; but God never fails. In this case they are shut up \"under darkness.\" They enjoy not the light of the presence of God. Even the near approach of God causes them fear and torment, as witnessed by Matthew 8:29, Mark 5:7, and Luke 8:28. The only access Satan has to heaven, or to God, is as the accuser of the saints, and that he well knows will also be cut off, as shown in Revelation 12:7-9. So Satan and his angels are reserved for judgment at a time already appointed by the Judge, Christ Jesus our Lord. For a description of that judgment, see Revelation 20: 7-15. Now Jude turns to another example of the judgments of God upon evil men, \" Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them\" All Bible readers, and many who read it very little, are acquainted with this example. And there is no need to repeat the account of it at this point. We are all aware of what fornication is, and the phrase, \"going after strange flesh,\" [unnatural flesh], means that terrible sin of homosexual behavior, whether of men or women, and is the sin for which Sodom is so infamous, even today. It is the \"going after strange flesh,\" in that it is strange, or foreign even to the laws of nature. It brought Sodom to destruction, as it has other nations and kingdoms since, though most of them are not so well known as Sodom ; and unless there is a great change it is soon to bring destruction upon this nation of ours. Another point to be noticed is that Jude says, concerning Sodom and the other cities, \"In like manner_ _ _.\" This phrase cannot refer to \"the angels\" in verse 6, because they are asexual, and therefore not capable of such a sin. Therefore there is no antecedent left for this phrase except those men who have crept in unawares, are \"turning the grace of God into lasciviousness, and denying,\" first by their deeds, and then by their doctrine, \"the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.\" Now since the \"lifestyles\" of these ungodly men and the people of Sodom are alike, Sodom serves as an example of what will be the end of these. They will suffer the vengeance of eternal fire.\n(Verses 8 through 10) \"Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominions, and speak evil of dignities. Yet Michael the Archangel , when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee. But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.\"\nThese \"filthy dreamers\" (certainly while they are awake, but, even worse, while they are asleep, their minds are filled with filthy things) who have crept in, are going in the very tracks of the sinners of Sodom and Gomorrha. They \"defile the flesh\" with this filthy \"lifestyle,\" even bringing upon themselves, and upon others around them, various diseases that primarily belong to such sinful practices. They despise, or have no respect for, authority, and speak evil of [blaspheme] those in high offices. Compare this with Michael, the Archangel , who, \"when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.\" This is, perhaps, a reference to Zechariah 3:1-2. The wording is slightly different, but that is not unusual in New Testament quotations from the Old. There we have, \"And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him. And the Lord said unto Satan, The Lord rebuke thee, O Satan; even the Lord that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?\" In this picture we see Joshua the high priest being resisted by Satan as they stand before the Angel of the Lord. The name, \"Michael\" means, \"Who is as God,\" and Michael is called \"the Archangel ,\" signifying that there is only one. This is the highest angel, and many scriptural references indicate that he is in command of angels. Isaiah says, \"For He said, Surely they are My people, children that will not lie: so He was their Saviour. In all their afflictions He was afflicted, and the Angel of His Presence saved them: in His love and in His pity He redeemed them.\" (Isaiah 63:8-9) In blessing the sons of Joseph , Israel said, \"The Angel, Which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads.\" (Gen. 48:16) In both these quotations it seems clear that our Lord is \"the Angel\" to Whom reference is made. No other but He is \"as God.\" So it seems reasonable to interpret the \"Angel of the Lord,\" in Zech. 3:1, as none other than Michael, Who is also our Lord Jesus the Christ. Therefore, in keeping with Jude's wording, we have a contention between Michael and Satan, which, some might say, does not fit the picture given by Zechariah, in that he says that Satan was at Joshua's right hand to resist him. If we but look we can see that it was not Joshua who spoke to Satan, but the Lord, which certainly intends \"the Angel of the Lord\" Who was present. \"The body of Moses\" seems to have no reference to the physical body of Moses, but to the law, since it was a common manner of expression to refer to the law as \"Moses.\" Instead of saying \"the law says,\" they often said, \"Moses says.\" Nevertheless the real point of the lesson here is that, with all His power and authority, Michael used no hard words and made no evil remarks about Satan, but simply said, \"The Lord rebuke thee.\" However that is not the way of those who creep in and try to lead astray the Lord's people. They speak evil of any thing and any one that they do not know, and since they do not know the Lord, they are certainly going to speak evil of Him, even to the denying of His divinity. They also speak evil of His ways and His commandments. Even things that they do know, strictly from the fact that they have natural life, that is, by natural instinct, as do the brute beasts, are used of them contrary to the laws of nature, and by such deeds they destroy themselves. (The word translated, \"corrupt,\" means \"destroy.\")\n(Verses 11 through 13) \"Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and run greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.\"\nThere is certainly nothing good ahead for these false teachers; all that can be said of them is, \"Woe unto them.\" They are following the same path that Cain followed. They have a form of religion, but no faith, and without faith it is impossible to please God. Cain brought an offering to God, but the writer of the Hebrew epistle says, \"By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain.\" It is not a matter of comparing Abel's faith to Cain's faith. He did not say that it was because Abel's faith was better than Cain's, and for this his offering was more excellent. He just says, \"By faith Abel_ _ _.\" That is, Abel had faith, and Cain did not. The error of Balaam is that he, desiring the reward promised by Balak, thought that perhaps God could be persuaded to turn against His chosen people if they could just be enticed into immoral conduct. And he did not realize that God's love for His people is anchored in, and based upon, Himself, and not their works. For this reason he continued trying to find a view of Israel that he thought might induce God to curse them. Failing in this, he taught Balak to place temptation before them. This is also the way of these evil ones. Core, or Korah, as the name is given in Numbers 16:1-35. rebelled against the authority of Moses and Aaron, which, since they were chosen and called of God for this work, is actually the authority of God; and the account of the incident is given in the above referenced text. These filthy dreamers are doing the same thing, and shall finally come to the same end. Jude says that, as long as they are allowed to partake in your feasts of charity, they are spots in those feasts. This is a reference to the \"love feasts\" that were a common practice of early Christians, and though not actually a part of it, were followed immediately by the Lord's Supper, to which the statement may also refer. They defile the feast, as a dirty spot defiles an otherwise clean garment. They are brazen enough that they have no fear of getting caught, and neither do they have any fear of God. They are clouds without water; they cannot refresh the soul that longs for comfort and edification from the word of God. As clouds are blown about by winds, so are they carried from one false idea to another. They are trees without fruit. If there is ever the appearance of fruit about them, it withers away, and nothing of any value comes of it. They are twice dead, or worse than dead. If one wants to consider the literal expression, \"twice dead,\" it is readily apparent this is fulfilled in that they are dead in sin, and having made a profession of faith in our Lord, (for that is the only way they could have crept in unawares,) they are dead to even that profession, which certainly constitutes being \"twice dead.\" Seeing that they are plucked up by the roots, there is no hope for their recovery. More loathsome characters can hardly be imagined than Jude depicts in his next words concerning these. \"Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.\" They are forever lost, without remedy.\n(Verses 14 and 15) \"And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of His saints, to execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.\"\nWe do not know from whence Jude had his information about the prophecy of Enoch, since it is not found in Genesis, where the account of Enoch is given, but there is no reason to question its validity, inasmuch as we believe the scriptures of both Old and New Testaments to be inspired of God. He may have received this by inspiration, or he may have had a source, which has been lost to us. He says that, these very persons are the ones, of whom Enoch spoke, when he said that the Lord is coming to execute judgment upon them. In this declaration, Jude uses the word, \"ungodly\" four times, applying it to them, their words, their deeds, and the manner of their committing those deeds, leaving no doubt as to his meaning.\n(Verses 16 through 19) \"These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage. But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; how that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.\"\nIt seems totally unnecessary to make any comment on verse 16, seeing that in it Jude has added a little further description of those who have been his subject since the beginning of verse 4, and it is clear enough to be understood by children. In verses 17 and 18 he reminds us that these men are the fulfillment of what the apostles of our Lord Christ Jesus have already said would come. These are the mockers that walk after their own ungodly lusts. Verse 19 should be understood, \"These be they who cause divisions, sensual, having not the Spirit.\"\n(Verses 20 through 23) \"But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. And of some have compassion, making a difference; and others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.\"\nJude turns from his description of these wicked deceivers, to give some final instructions to the saints, saying, \"But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith_ _ _.\" Certainly faith, as given to each of God's children by the Holy Spirit, is \"most holy.\" But it appears that Jude is referring not to this, but to that which he, in verse 3, called \"the faith which was once delivered to the saints\", the whole body of truth concerning our Lord Jesus the Christ and His works in salvation, with particular attention given to the fact that He is the Son of God. We can indeed, and should, build up ourselves on these things by constantly meditating upon them, and with the help of the Holy Ghost, praying always that our Lord will reveal Himself more and more unto us, that we may be able to hold fast to this faith, and not be deceived by the enticements continually set before us by these false teachers. Thus we will be able to walk in the love of God, and this is what Jude means when he says, \"keeping yourselves in the love of God.\" As we thus continue in close fellowship with God, we can expect the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. A glance back at verse 1 reminds us that this letter is addressed to those who are \"sanctified by God the Father, preserved in Jesus Christ, and called.\" It is therefore obvious that Jude is not telling us how to obtain eternal life, but how to continue in the assurance of it. By doing what he says, we can \"look for,\" or confidently expect, that the mercy of our Lord will keep us \"unto eternal life,\" that is, as the apostle Peter says, \"unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.\" Although the scriptures sometimes speak of eternal life as already in our possession, Jude is considering the time of its being fully unveiled, as it were.\n(Verses 22 and 23) \"And of some have compassion, making a difference: and others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.\"\nIt is obvious from the theme of this entire epistle, that Jude is concerned with saving our brethren from the clutches of these unprincipled and ungodly men who have crept in unawares, and are wreaking havoc in the churches. When he says, \"save with fear,\" the emphasis is on saving them from the pitfalls and traps these men are setting before them, not saving them from hell. \"The fire\" of which he speaks is the bitter chastisement that is sometimes necessary to bring an erring one back to the way of truth, or it may have reference to the fiery judgment of \"the great day,\" to which these evil ones are bound, but from which God's children are always pulled back, whether through the efforts of His faithful servants, or the chastening rod of God. Just as there is difference of physical strength among men, so are there differences of spiritual strength among God's children. We are to have compassion upon the weak, and gently, with loving kindness, we are to point them to the truth of our Lord, and encourage them in it, tenderly warning them of pitfalls and sorrows ahead for those who become entangled in the web of these false teachers. At the same time, those who are well grounded in the principles of Christ, but begin to show a tendency to follow these evil ones, are to be dealt with more forcefully, and warned more severely. And while warning them, we are to make it manifest that while we love them, and are doing this for their good, even their slight leaning toward such evil is detestable, and an object of hatred to us, and more importantly, to our Lord. Although they may have led an exemplary life before becoming entangled in the deceit of these evil teachers, that garment is now \"spotted by the flesh,\" defiled with such evil conduct, and is an object of hatred to us, and should be to them.\nThe remaining two verses of this epistle are so clear, they need no explanation. Therefore we quote them without comment. \"Now unto Him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the Presence of His glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever, Amen.\"",

        "raw_content": "For many decades, the liver problems have been connected to the excessive drinking of alcohol. Among the serious ailments that have been connected to the drinking habits include the hepatitis. But the connection between excessive drinking and the alcoholic hepatitis is very intricate. The fact of the matter is that most people who drink excessively have a lower percentage of contracting alcoholic hepatitis. This only means that those who drink rarely also have a chance of contracting the alcoholic hepatitis.\nOnes a person has contracted the alcoholic hepatitis, this can be cured through avoiding drinking. But this is not always the case as some of the alcoholic hepatitis is known to continue eating up the liver. When this is so, the alcoholic hepatitis can easily lead to liver cirrhosis which would later result to the failure of the liver if one does not stop drinking immediately. If an alcoholic addict does not stop his drinking, this could be deadly.\nFrom the recent research, results have come out to educate individuals on how and why alcoholic hepatitis takes place. Despite carrying out all these researches, no treatment for the alcoholic hepatitis has been found yet. The only requirement for those suffering from alcoholic hepatitis is abstaining from alcohol and other products that can damage the liver.\nWhen the liver has been completely damaged that has led to its failure, the only option that will be left will be a liver transplant. But this has not been an easy task. For one, it is very difficult to find a donor. The other problem that is very sensitive is that, when you find a donor, your blood must always much with his/hers.\nSigns and symptoms of alcoholic hepatitis\n\u2022\tQueasiness and vomiting (sometimes vomiting blood)\n\u2022\tAbdominal pains and tenderness\n\u2022\tThe yellowing of the skin and whitening of the eyes\n\u2022\tConstant fevers\n\u2022\tSwelling of the stomach (due to build up of fluids)\nThis does not mean that they are the only symptoms but they will, depend on the extent of the malady. The condition will continue worsening if the person does not abstain from alcohol.\nCauses of alcoholic hepatitis\nThe liver is one of the vital organs in the body. It is known to perform most of the working as compared to other vital organs. Among the functions that are performed by the liver include\n\u2022\tDispensation of nutrients\n\u2022\tProduction of bile\n\u2022\tProduction of blood clotting reagents\n\u2022\tElimination of harmful from the blood system.\nDuring the break down of the alcohol, chemical substances are produced. These chemicals trigger inflammation which destroys the liver. At times these deposits that form on the liver thus they tend to substitute the healthy liver tissues which in turn alter the functioning of the liver.\nThis is what is referred to as the liver cirrhosis and it is the last stage of alcoholic liver disease that is very fatal.",

        "raw_content": "Ryan Bingham announces American Long Song for 2/15 release\nRyan Bingham is back with his first effort since 2015\u2019s Fear and Saturday Night, an album that is my favorite in Bingham\u2019s catalog. American Long Song will see the light of day on 2/15/19. Check out the first track and here\u2019s some info on the track from the PR team.\nWolves deals with the painful memories of his youth and those inevitable confrontations with the next school bully. But it\u2019s also a response to Bingham\u2019s emotions when the March for Our Lives students, in the wake of the Parkland school shooting, had to contend with men and women questioning their integrity on social media.\nRyan Bingham is here\nRyan Bingham \u2013 Fear and Saturday Night Review [album review]\nI didn\u2019t know what to expect from Fear and Saturday Night when it was announced. Truth be told \u2013 his last effort, Tomorrowland, is probably the last Bingham record I reach for when I need a fix of the LA based artist. But upon hearing a 3 song advance way back in October, I was fairly convinced that Fear and Saturday Night would become the Bingham record I would be reaching for the most now, and years to come.\nI have been listening to Fear and Saturday night so much since I got the advance copy that it feels as if it has been released for a year now. I almost feel a bit of a guilt that I have been enjoying it so much. Fear and Saturday Night reminds me of another HearYa favorite, Jason Isbell\u2019s Southeastern and Strand of Oaks\u2019 HEAL. Both of those albums are personal, cathartic and show the signs of coming out of a dark time.\nFor the writing process, Bingham holed himself up in an Airstream trailer in the LA mountains. From there he penned tracks to his unborn child, Broken Heart Tattoos; songs about redemption, Nobody Knows My Trouble and the mariachi tinged The Adventures of You and Me. Throughout every tune, Bingham\u2019s lyrics and delivery flies in the face of the corporate country machine. Bingham could have easily built on his 2010 Oscar win for Thee Weary Kind and became a watered-down version of himself.\nInstead, he formed his own record company, Bingham Anxster Records and has delivered the first great record of 2015. If you thought Southeastern was a truly phenomenal album, run don\u2019t walk to pick up Fear and Saturday Night.\nRyan Bingham annouces Fear And Saturday Night \u2013 1/15/15\nRyan Bingham is back with a new album. Fear and Saturday Night will be out on January 15th via Axster Bingham Records distributed by Thirty Tigers.\nFacing down his past, including the deaths of his mother to alcohol and his father to suicide, resulted in the triumphant \u2018Fear and Saturday Night. The 12 original songs on \u2018Fear and Saturday Night\u2019 were written by Bingham while isolated in the mountains of California. Secluded in an airstream trailer without distractions in the form of people, cell phones, even electricity, Bingham was alone with his thoughts and guitar, sitting still for the first time after a childhood spent moving around the Southwest and years touring the country, with performances everywhere from Fallon and Letterman to Good Morning America and The View. \u201cIt felt like I lived out of a cardboard box growing up until I was old enough to buy my own suitcase,\u201d he says. \u201cI was just running from everything.\u201d\nThe lead track Broken Heart Tattoos stands amongst his best work. I\u2019ve also been privy to two other tunes \u2013 Radio and Snow Falls In June. You need to get excited for this album. I\u2019ve heard a quarter of the album and it is stellar.\nRyan Bingham Discusses New Album, The Road, Geto Boys, Marine Biology, and One Crazy Heart. I Mean Year. [Interview]\nIn the song, \u201cThe Wandering\u201d off his new album Junky Star, Ryan Bingham sings in his signature gravel shredded vocals:\nIf youre so inclined\nJust leave some time\nFor the wandering\nHere Bingham speaks of his experience with the many temporary distractions that have interrupted his lifelong journey through America. Whether it was a few months in a new city, an hour in a crumbling watering hole off a desert highway, a few weeks digging holes on a construction site, or a night at the Oscars, Bingham has always had his heart set on getting back out on that never-ending road.\nFor Bingham, staying the course on the road to nowhere has led him to be a bull rider, a bar crooner, a co-headliner with Willie Nelson, and an Academy Award winner. Its also made this 29-year-old wise beyond his years.\nOn his third album, Junky Star, Bingham details the woes of the beautiful losers that hes crossed paths with over his years traversing the country. During our discussion, he emphasized the importance of singing about what you know and writing songs that are a reflection of what you see around you. In a time of uncertainty and economic depression that has devastated the lives of millions, Junky Star introduces us to characters that struggle to find their way in America today. As our country desperately tries to figure out who we are, Bingham is the voice of that unsettling man in the mirror.\nRyan was gracious enough to chat with us this week about life on the road, his massive year, the Geto Boys, and his aspirations in the field of marine biology.\nAnd thats home for you, right?\nThis has been a huge year for you with Crazy Heart, an Oscar win, and a new album, Junky Star. Now you guys are about to head out for a tour. Have you been taking some time to relax before you hit the road?\nYeah, Ive been trying to just lay low as much as I can. But, we were actually on the road last month doing a tour on the west coast. Were leaving again next week for a couple of months. Well be going all over the place and then off to Europe in November.\nHow do you like touring in Europe?\nTouring in Europe is so different than it is here in the States. We went over there for the first time 3 years ago and we were really surprised with how many people came out to see us. We had just come off of playing small clubs over here that were really just bars and what not. To go over there and have 300-400 people in the crowd standing in a room all silent and really listening, it was great.\nSo what percentage of questions nowadays have to do with Crazy Heart or \u201cThe Weary Kind?\u201d\nYeah, I get a lot of em (Laughs), its been crazy this past year.\nWell, Ill try to keep them to a minimum, but do you mind if I ask a few?\nNo man, of course not, go ahead.\nSo, youve probably written hundreds of songs. Is it surreal that one song (The Weary Kind) of those hundreds can have such a profound impact on your life?\nOh yeah, for sure. I mean it was all just so crazy to see one song take off like that all of a sudden. Its amazing what can happen when you get the big machine behind it. You really see whats possible and what a big impact it can have. Its cool though; its a whole different way to express yourself. I didnt really know much about film and I still dont. Ive been trying to figure that all out.\nDo you have interest in staying involved with the film industry?\nYeah, definitely. My wife is a filmmaker and is working on a feature film right now. So, Ive been working on some music for that. I think Ill try to stay involved, maybe learn a little more and just see what comes up.\nAs far as acting goes, was it always the plan for you to be in the film?\nYeah, that was actually not part of the original plan. The director came out to see us play one night in LA and afterward was like, I need a young band in the film to play in a bowling alley. And I was like, look no further, thats what we do. We didnt have to do much acting; we just had to be ourselves.\nHave you actually played in a bowling alley before?\nJunky Star certainly isnt an uplifting album and deals a lot with people who are down and out. Yet, youve had so many positive things happening in your life lately. Where did these sad songs come from?\nTo me, songwriting has always been a way of venting and getting stuff off my chest. Traveling across the country in times like these, you really see the condition that this country is in and that the people are in. You see people in really difficult circumstances and I can relate to them in a way. You know? I just try to describe the things that I see going on all around me. If what you see is a lot of people going through pain or in desperate times then that makes its way into the songs. You have to write about what you see and what you know.\nJunky Star is the 3rd record in 3 years. Are you writing constantly out on the road?\nThe songwriting goes in spurts. Sometimes Ill sit down and write 3 to 4 songs in a day. Sometimes Ill go for a month without writing anything. I really dont try to sit around with a pen and paper and write things down. I try to just let it come to me.\nIve been a big fan since my buddy sent me your Dead Horses record in 2006. Its been fun to watch your career take off. I realized you were really making your way into the mainstream when I turned on the TV and saw you flanked on a couch by Whoopi Goldberg and Barbara Walters. Was playing The View the strangest gig of your life?\n(laughs) Yeah, Yeah it might have been. All that stuff, you know the TV stuff, the press and everything. That shit was crazy.\nBut seriously, with all of that exposure this past year, whats the one thing you got to do that you never thought youd be doing 3 years ago?\nThis past month, in September, we got to do a tour with Willie Nelson. That was something I never thought would be possible. Being able to stand there on the side of the stage and watch him playing every night. It was crazy man. I grew up listening to him and I never imagined wed be out there on tour with him.\nYou spent time on the rodeo circuit before you found your way into music. If you werent doing either of those, what do you think youd like to be doing?\nWell, I dont know that I always really thought that Id be doing music. But, now its like I cant think of anything else that Id really ever want to do. When I started playing music it was a way out. All growing up, I had to have a day job that was something I knew I didnt want to be doing for very long. For a while I was doing construction and I realized I liked the feeling of a guitar in my hands better than a shovel. I could either make $50 digging holes or I could get a gig playing tunes at a bar. It was a pretty easy choice (laughs).\nIt was also a way to get out on the road and travel. Music was all I needed. If you could make enough money to eat, you were fine. You could travel around to all these different places just doing what you could do to survive. Now, Id probably be more interested in going back to school more than anything. Before I didnt really have a choice of whether or not to go to school because I had to work. I had to make money. But now that I have the opportunity I think Id like to do that maybe at some point.\nWell, I grew up in the desert but Ive always fascinated by the ocean. So I think Id like to study to become a marine biologist or something.\nYou and I are the same age. Im always interested to hear what other people who grew up in my era were listening to. Do you remember the first record you bought?\nOh man, I dont know if I remember what the first record I bought was. But, I was living with my Uncle when I was 12 or 13 and he had piles of records from 60s and 70s that I really got into. I was into a lot of stuff from that era, from Bob Marley to Bob Wills, Dylan, The Stones, Neil Young, Waylon, Willie Nelson, I loved all those guys.\nYou can hear a lot of those guys in your songs. Is there anything that you were ever into that people would be surprised to hear?\nYeah, there was a time when I lived down in Houston and at that time, in the 80s, there was all that hip-hop stuff coming out of there. Groups like the Geto Boys, I was into that stuff. I dont think a lot of people would really suspect that (laughs).\nYouve traveled around the country for most of your adult life. Junky Star is full of stories about people youve met during your travels. Now youre settled in CA, do you miss being on the road? Does that impact your songwriting?\nWell, we really still get plenty of time out on the road. As far as it impacting songwriting, I think it definitely does. You write about what you know about. So its kind of inevitable that you write about where you go and what you see. When I was living in West Texas, Id write more about that. Now that Im living here, Im writing about what I see here. But, were always traveling all around, going coast to coast, and to Europe and Australia. You get a chance to meet people from all sides of the globe and hear their stories. All of that comes out in the songs. But as much as I like getting back out on the road and seeing everything, its nice to have a place to come home to.\nYou spend 90% of your time not actually playing live when youre on the road. What do you do to pass the time between shows?\nThats for sure (laughs). Most of the time youre in the van and driving or youre sitting somewhere just waiting around. Honestly, thats what it comes down to. Theres driving in the van and then theres waiting around. You get to a point where you just cant sit in the van for another second. We call it van madness. Well try to get out to see whatever city were in though. You cant just sit around the hotel all the time, youve got to get out there when you can.\nWhats the best way to bounce back after a big night on the town?\nYou just gotta grit your teeth and power through.\nWell, youve got 2 sold out shows coming up in Chicago, we cant wait to see you there. I will say, a few years ago when you were doing the first national tour, you stiffed Chicago. Do you have hard feelings toward the Windy City?\nNo way man. We always enjoy coming to Chicago, seriously. Were really excited to be out there. If we didnt play there its only because none of the promoters knew who we were. At the time when we were first traveling around, you had to fight for every gig you got.\nWell, its been a huge year for you. Any idea what the future holds?\nDont really know what the future holds. Were just excited to get back out on the road for this tour. After that all I know is well keep making music because thats what we do. Hopefully well get in the studio and start working on a new record in the Spring.\nThanks for the nod to the little guys, Ryan Bingham.\nRyan Bingham sat down for a 30-minute interview with our very own Safariman this morning. We\u2019ve been huge Bingham fans for years and were thrilled with his Oscar win for \u201cThe Weary Kind\u201d from Crazy Heart.

But Apollonius replied: \"Do you, O king, go on with your sacrifice, in your own way, but permit me to sacrifice in mine.\" And he took up a handful of frankincense and said: \"O thou Sun, send me as far over the earth as is my pleasure and thine, and may I make the acquaintance of good men, but never hear anything of bad ones, nor they of me.\" And with these words he threw the frankincense into the fire (\u03ba\u03b1\u1f31 \u03b5\u1f30\u03c0\u1f61\u03bd \u03c4\u03b1\u1fe6\u03c4\u03b1 \u03c4\u1f41\u03c5 \u03bb\u03b9\u03b2\u03b1\u03bd\u03c9\u03c4\u1f41\u03bd \u1f10\u03c2 \u03c4\u1f41 \u03c0\u1fe6\u03c1 \u1f45\u03ba\u03b5\u03bd), and watched to see how the smoke of it curled upwards, and how it grew turbid, and in how many points it shot up; and in a manner he caught the meaning of the fire, and watched as it appeared of good omen and pure. Then he said: \"Now, O king, go on with your sacrifice in accordance with your own traditions, for my traditions are such as you see.\" [1]\nThe Goddess Venus (Aphrodite) was furious with Sol (Helios the Sun) for exposing her love affair with Mars (Ares) to her husband Vulcan (Hephaestus). To avenge herself, she made Sol [2] fall in love with Leucotho\u00eb. Sol disguised himself as Eurynome, Leucotho\u00eb's mother, to gain entrance to Leucotho\u00eb's chamber. He then united with her. But her sister, Klytie, had fallen deeply in love with Sol. The jealous girl revealed the affair to her father, who then buried Leucotho\u00eb alive. By the time Sol discovered the punishment of her father, Leucotho\u00eb had died. Unable to awaken his beloved with light, Sol swore to revive the girl and make her rise to the sky. He covered her in the nectar of the Gods. The body of Leucotho\u00eb melted away and filled the soil with its fragrance, and out of the earth arose the frankincense tree, for this land of Persia burns with the sun, and therefore frankincense is associated with the Sun. When Sol refused to forgive Klytie, she died of sorrow and the God changed her into the heliotrope, a flower which follows the sun.

[5]\nFRANKINCENSE IN HISTORY\nFrankincense is the supreme fragrance and is likely mentioned in ancient texts with more frequency than any other incense-offering to Gods. One can find reference to its religious use in ancient Hellenic literature, very prominently in the Hymns of Orph\u00e9fs. It remains one of the most elegant and precious offerings to this day, appropriate for the rituals of \u00c6llinism\u03ccs (Hellenismos; Gr. \u1f19\u03bb\u03bb\u03b7\u03bd\u03b9\u03c3\u03bc\u03cc\u03c2), the ancient Greek religion.\nIn the opening to his article on frankincense, the Egyptologist A. Lucas states,\n\"This has been regarded from a very early period, and is still regarded, as true or genuine incense.\" [6]\nA curious statement, that the very antiquity of the use of frankincense as incense carries such weight that it has a particular legitimacy and precedence.\nPythag\u00f3ras (Gr. \u03a0\u03c5\u03b8\u03b1\u03b3\u03cc\u03c1\u03b1\u03c2), philosopher-mathematician and priest of Ap\u00f3llohn (Apollo; Gr. \u1f08\u03c0\u03cc\u03bb\u03bb\u03c9\u03bd), performed libations and sacrifices to Gods with \"fumigations and frankincense\" [7] (instead of sacrificing animals).\n\"He used to practice divination, as far as auguries and auspices go, but not by means of burnt offerings, except only the burning of frankincense.\" [8]\nIn the writings of Herodotus (330 BC), the great traveler known as the \"father of history,\" the Chald\u00e6ans of Babylon offered a thousand talents' weight (98,422 pounds) of frankincense to (Zeus)-Bel at his yearly festival. [9] By 1 AD, 3000 tons of frankincense were exported to Greece and Rome from Southern Arabia. Elsewhere in his Histories, Herodotus points out that frankincense was excluded from the mummification process [10], without giving a reason why.\nThere is connection in antiquity between frankincense and the sun. Ovid tells the story of the creation of the frankincense tree and the heliotrope (a plant whose flower follows the sun) involving Sol (\u00cdlios; Gr. \u1f2d\u03bb\u03b9\u03bf\u03c2) and the love set in his heart by Venus (Aphrod\u00edti; Gr. \u1f08\u03c6\u03c1\u03bf\u03b4\u03af\u03c4\u03b7) for Leucotho\u00eb (Lefkoth\u01fda; Gr. \u039b\u03b5\u03c5\u03ba\u03bf\u03b8\u03ad\u03b1). In the myth, Sol had witnessed the love between Venus and Mars (Ar\u00eds; Gr. \u1f0c\u03c1\u03b7\u03c2) and revealed it to Vulcan (\u00cdphaistos; Gr. \u1f2d\u03c6\u03b1\u03b9\u03c3\u03c4\u03bf\u03c2). Venus caused Sol to fall in love with Leucotho\u00eb, whose sister Clytie (Klyt\u00eda; Gr. \u039a\u03bb\u03c5\u03c4\u03af\u03b1) was jealous. Clytie revealed the advance of Sol on Leucotho\u00eb to her father, who buried her alive. Sol warmed the earth over Leucotho\u00eb and she arose as the frankincense tree. Abandoned by Sol, Clytie became the heliotrope flower, following his every movement. [11]\nThe religious custom of burning incense for any reason dwindled with the rise of Christianity and the suppression of the older traditions, to which its use was greatly associated.\n\"The creator and father of the universe does not require blood, nor smoke, nor even the sweet smell of flowers and incense,\" [12]\n...declared Athenagoras the Christian apologist (133 CE-190 CE), a sentiment abhorrent to \u00c6llinism\u03ccs as impious (i.e., that a suppliant's gift, an expression of his \u01fcrohs [Eros; Gr. \u1f1c\u03c1\u03c9\u03c2]), would not be welcomed by the Gods and that the practitioner of the ancient religion would imagine that their Gods needed anything). Eventually such expressions as the use of incense were punishable by law:\n\"(Cod. Theod. xvi. ro. 4, 6), forbidding all sacrifices on pain of death, and still more by the statutes of Theodosius (Cod . Theod. xvi. 10.12) enacted in 392, in which sacrifice and divination were declared treasonable and punish-able with death; the use of lights, incense, garlands and libations was to involve the forfeiture of house and land where they were used; and all who entered heathen temples were to be fined.\" [13]\nThe use of frankincense later re-emerged, now in the dominant Christian church, following the seeming destruction of ancient Hellenic religion, but its use was not at the level of antique times.\nTHE FRAGRANCE OF FRANKINCENSE\nHow can you describe a fragrance? Frankincense is so sublime that it is characterized with terminology not unlike that used for wine tasting. Juliet Highet, in her wonderful book about frankincense, filled with beautiful photographs, describes Omani silver, a type of frankincense, with these words:\n\"...it is indeed a wonderful fragrance, warm, woody and balsamic, honeyed but not cloying, with an almost austere balancing note of pine and vetiver.\" [14]\nYou would think she was painting a picture or trying to describe the qualities of ambrosia. Whenever I entertain guests and there is the lingering perfume of frankincense in the air, it always draws warm comments because people find it very pleasing. But in the ancient world, it was believed that frankincense pleased the Gods, and we who worship still believe this today.\n\"In its literal meaning the word 'incense' is one with the word 'perfume,' the aroma given off with the smoke (per fumum) of any odoriferous substance when burnt. But in use, while the meaning of the word 'perfume' has been extended so as to include everything sweet in smell, from smoking incense to the invisible fragrance of fruits and exquisite scent of flowers, that of the word 'incense,' in all the languages of modern Europe in which it occurs, has, by an opposite process of elimination, been gradually restricted almost exclusively to frankincense.\" [15]\nThe origin of the word is uncertain.\n\"Before 1398 fraunkencense, in Trevisa's translation of Bartholomew's De Proprietatibus Rerum; apparently from Old French frank genuine or true, and encens incense.\" [16]\nFrank comes from the Latin Francus, of or belonging to the Franks. [17] Incense comes from the Latin incensum, a setting fire to, lighting, incense. [18]\nAnother explanation sees the word as a combination of the Old French word franc meaning \"pure\" or \"abundant,\" added to the Latin word incensum, meaning \"to kindle.\" Still others say that it means \"the incense of the Franks,\" because during the Crusades, the Franks re-introduced it to Europe.\nTHE COST OF FRANKINCENSE\nAlthough there are affordable grades of frankincense, the highest quality resin is very, very costly, but in ancient times it was even more expensive. An average person could not afford it. One of the major reasons for the high price was that the resin was harvested from trees that only grew in distant areas. Therefore, the product was shipped, and generally taxed repeatedly as it passed from one country to the next. By the time it arrived in Greece or Rome, it had greatly compounded in price. We are very fortunate that contemporary shipping costs are much less. Truly, most anyone today can afford at least the lower grades of frankincense, but the highest grades still command a steep price. These highest grades of frankincense produce a fragrance that is so sublime it is almost otherworldly, truly a most worthy gift to the Gods we love, yet even the lowest grades are very sublime.\nFRANKINCENSE COMES FROM A TREE\nFrankincense, an oleo-gum resin, comes from a deciduous, often shrub-like tree of the Burseraceae (balsam) family. The genus is Boswellia, and various species within this genus are used to obtain the resin. The tree has particular habitat requirements. There was an attempt in Egypt around 1480 BC, detailed in the funerary temple of Queen Hatshepsut in Luxor, to import frankincense and myrrh trees and establish them for local use. The rains destroyed the trees. Moisture must be provided principally by mist, not rain (with the possible exception of B. frereana). The trees tend to grow in very dry climates rich in limestone, often in crags where they cling to the rocks with a sucker-like appendage and little or no soil.\nIn Dhofar, the area most famous for high quality frankincense, the tree is thought to be a gift from God, therefore they are not planted or watered deliberately. The tree is scored using a tool called amanqaf (mengaff or minquaf), making incisions one and a half to three inches long. The bark is removed revealing the red inner core of the branch. The resin oozes out from ducts in this core, dries in the sun for ten days to three weeks, and is collected. After having dried, the resin is semi-water soluble. This method of acquiring the frankincense resin is essentially unchanged since ancient times as can be attested in the writings of Th\u00e6\u00f3phrastos (Theophrastus; Gr. \u0398\u03b5\u03cc\u03c6\u03c1\u03b1\u03c3\u03c4\u03bf\u03c2) of \u00c6r\u00e6s\u00f3s (Eresos; Gr. \u0395\u03c1\u03b5\u03c3\u03cc\u03c2), the successor of Aristot\u01fdlis (Aristotle; Gr. \u1f08\u03c1\u03b9\u03c3\u03c4\u03bf\u03c4\u03ad\u03bb\u03b7\u03c2) at the Peripatetic school, in his Enquiry Into Plants, IX.IV.\nThis family of trees has many sub-species and the one in question is the genus Boswellia. Although there are over twenty-five species of Boswellia, there are but a dozen used in the production of frankincense. The most common ones are as follows: Boswellia carterii (the Mohr Madow tree) and Boswellia frereana (the Vigaar tree) from Ethiopia, Somalia and Oman. Boswellia thurifera from Somalia and India. Boswellia papyrifera from Ethiopia, East Africa and the Sudan. Also there is Boswellia serrata, primarily from the Indian subcontinent. Boswellia neglecta is found in Kenya and India, but this author has never found any of the product. Boswellia rivae, Ogaden frankincense, from Southeast Ethiopia. The most famous variety of all is Boswellia sacra (called variously hojary, hojari, houjari, hogary, hawjari, hawjeri), which grows wild in Arabia, inland, flourishing in the limestone hills, plains and valleys from Hadramawt east to Dhofar. It must be noted that there is confusion as to the scientific classification of the varieties of plants that produce frankincense, as it is difficult to differentiate between species. Beyond the various species, the student will find additional mystery and obscurity concerning other qualities of frankincense as well.\nReading information about frankincense, you may encounter this: B. carterii Birdwood. Is \"Birdwood\" a particular variety of this shrub? No. The two-part scientific name for frankincense was created by George Christopher Molesworth Birdwood (1832-1917). The first species named was Boswellia carterii. The initial word, Boswellia, immortalizes James Boswell, a friend of Samuel Johnson; carterii honors H.J. Carter, a surgeon who had been surveying the south Arabian coast.\nWhen you purchase frankincense, try to find out the scientific name and country of origin. Write these things on the container you put the incense in. This will help you to become familiar with the subtleties of difference between the various types.\nFRANKINCENSE FROM OMAN AND YEMEN\nIn discussions of frankincense from Oman and Yemen we encounter names such as hojary, nagdi (najdi, nejdi), silver, hasiki, and fusoos. There exists thoroughly contradictory intelligence regarding these words. Each of these terms are recommended, depending on the source, as \"the best\" frankincense. Despite all these various names, the actually grading may be less dependent on fragrance than on other factors (see below).\nThe frankincense from Yemen (B. carterii) is very similar to the Omani, perhaps the same, but sold at a slightly lower price-point. Sometimes you will see frankincense sold as Aden. Aden is a city in Yemen.\nHojary frankincense, indeed probably all the resin from Oman and Yemen, comes from Boswellia sacra, yet some experts say that B. sacra, B. carterii, and possibly even B. thurifera, are all the same shrub. Others insist that B. sacra is the only frankincense tree found in this region (Dhofar) and is distinct from the other plants. Perhaps it is actually the particular characteristics of the region itself that somehow causes the difference in the fragrance and possibly even a difference in the appearance of the tree.\nThe frankincense is said to be graded by various factors such as the time of the year that the resin is harvested, the color of the resin, and the size of the tears. Tear is a term that simply refers to the shape of the solidified resin as it drops from the cuts in the tree. Generally, lighter color and large chunks sell for a higher price. It most be noted that the entire grading process of incense from Oman and Yemen is unclear, and consistent information about it has been illusory to this author. One source told this author that frankincense from Oman is graded not so much by how pleasant the fragrance is but by basically two measures: size and characteristics. The larger the tears, the higher the grade, the whiter tears more valuable, the browner less (with other colors complicating the process). From this point of view, there are no \"grades\" of frankincense, only different sizes with different colors.\nFrom my experience, it seems that any of the frankincense resin that comes from Oman and Yemen is quite distinct from frankincense from other parts of the world; it is unique and extraordinary.\nOTHER VARIETIES OF FRANKINCENSE\nMaydi frankincense\nAnother famous type of frankincense is known as maydi frankincense and it is collected from Boswellia frereana. This resin is also quite costly. It's fragrance is distinct from the Omani types. It may at first give you the impression of a more varnish-like fragrance, a little like eucalyptus, yet the more your experience deepens you will discover that it is very rich and elegant. It is the frankincense used by the Coptic Christian Church of Egypt. There are supposedly seven or eight grades of maydi frankincense, some used as chewing gum.\nOgaden frankincense\nOgaden frankincense, Boswellia rivae, is a difficult resin to obtain in the United States although you can readily buy it in oil form. The fragrance is incredibly rich, similar to the finer varieties of Boswellia serrata, a very heady perfume. It is generally dark brown to reddish and black and is found in chunks. Although it is somewhat costly, it is also a lovely gift to the Gods. You can obtain this frankincense at Floracopeia.\nBoswellia thurifera and Boswellia papyrifera\nThe less expensive varieties of frankincense, such as Boswellia thurifera and Boswellia papyrifera have a more gum-like fragrance. This gum-like smell is difficult to describe but it is a fragrance that is common to most resin incense. If you could take away the distinguishing quality of a resin (regardless if it is frankincense, sandarac, myrrh or whatever), what is left is this gum-like odor that I am referring to. So, when I say that the modestly priced varieties of frankincense have more of this gum-like smell, it is really saying that they have less fragrance, the fragrance that masks the gum-like smell. But do not be deceived, because this is not to say that these types of frankincense are not worthy. They are all frankincense and they all have a pleasing fragrance. And there are subtleties and depth to every type, some of the reasonably priced varieties being quite sublime.\nThe frankincense from India, Boswellia serrata, known as Salai gugal, is one of my personal favorites, an exquisite and rich fragrance, again, quite different from the other varieties. Some call this olibanum. The etymology of the word, like frankincense, is uncertain. Al-luba'n is Arabic for \"milky\" or \"that which was milked,\" being that frankincense is milked as a sap from the Boswellia tree. Luba'n seems to have etymological ties with a Semitic root referring to \"milky whiteness,\" purity, white (the resin found by this author is of a brownish color). Another possibility is that it may be a contraction of \"oil of Lebanon,\" since frankincense was traded in Lebanon.\nThe issue of frankincense and olibanum adds yet another level of confusion to the classification of these resins. To many specialists, they are equivalents, i.e. they refer to the same resin. Furthermore, the term olibanum in the trade is sometimes used as a generic term meaning simply \"incense,\" similar to the generic term \"benjamin.\" But some say that Boswellia resins can be classified by the citrus quality of their fragrance. This method of classifying says that those resins that have a distinctly lemon-like fragrance are frankincense while those resins that have a more orange-like fragrance are classified as olibanum. There is no universally accepted agreement about this, but I will admit that there does seem to be these lemon and orange associations. Some say that this orange-like fragrance is only found in B. serrata, therefore B. serrata is olibanum while the rest is frankincense, more lemon-like. I have even heard of some frankincense as having a lime-like smell. But there are yet other differences between the varieties that confuse the systems of classifying. So, it is really a matter of personal choice and one's ability to distinguish subtle aromas.\nUnfortunately, there is much conflicting information about frankincense and olibanum. Despite the fact that it is confusing, I felt it better to present all the issues and leave it to the reader to do his or her best with it. The many varieties of incense exist in a fascinating world of fragrance and history. It is my hope that this discussion will encourage people to try the many resins available and offer them to the Gods and share the great beauty that they embody. Frankincense is one of the most splendid gifts our world offers, and a magnificent present to the divine Gods who bless our lives.\nFOR ASSISTANCE in using frankincense as well as sources of where to purchase frankincense, visit this page:\nThe Orphic Hymns and Frankincense\nFrankincense (l\u00edvanon; Gr. \u03bb\u03af\u03b2\u03b1\u03bd\u03bf\u03bd) is requested in the Orphic Hymns twenty-two times, that is, if we include the hymns which include a combination of m\u00e1nna (Gr. \u03bc\u03ac\u03bd\u03bd\u1fb0) with frankincense, and a list of those hymns follows. M\u00e1nna is sometimes translated as frankincense, but this does not seem to be accurate.\nThe use of frankincense as a high quality varnish\nFrankincense (as well as other incense resins) is used as a varnish for high quality furniture. This varnish is used in the production of the finest violins and other symphonic instruments. Here are some recipes using various resins including frankincense: http://www.jubilatores.com/varnish.html\nIr\u00f3dotos and the flying serpents\nIn the history of Di\u00f3dohros Sik\u00e6li\u00f3htis (Diodorus of Sicily; Gr. \u0394\u03b9\u03cc\u03b4\u03c9\u03c1\u03bf\u03c2 \u03a3\u03b9\u03ba\u03b5\u03bb\u03b9\u03ce\u03c4\u03b7\u03c2), we find a description of dark red poisonous serpents amongst the frankincense trees (Library of History Book III.46-47).\nIr\u00f3dotos (Herodotus; Gr. \u1f29\u03c1\u03cc\u03b4\u03bf\u03c4\u03bf\u03c2), the historian, also describes these creatures:\n\"The frankincense they procure by means of the gum styrax, which the Greeks obtain from the Ph\u0153nicians; this they burn, and thereby obtain the spice. For the trees which bear the frankincense are guarded by winged serpents, small in size, and of varied colours, whereof vast numbers hang about every tree. They are of the same kind as the serpents that invade Egypt; and there is nothing but the smoke of the styrax which will drive them from the trees.\" (Ir\u00f3dotos Histories Book III.107, trans. George Rawlinson, 1858-1860; found here in the 1997 Everyman's Library/Knopf edition on p. 276)\nBut Ir\u00f3dotos has also been called \"the father of lies\" because some of his history is fantastic and scholars have found inconsistencies of dating etc. His description of the flying serpents is an unforgettable narrative and indeed the details do not sound credible, but, amazingly, the story is based on fact. Carpet vipers (echis) infest the mountains of Dhofar into the present time. These snakes coil up and strike high, almost as though they were flying. They are also said to leap onto victims from samur trees. The bite is quite toxic and there is no known antidote.\nAlexander the Great and frankincense\nWhen Al\u01fdxandros (Alexander the Great; Gr.\u1f08\u03bb\u03ad\u03be\u03b1\u03bd\u03b4\u03c1\u03bf\u03c2 \u1f41 \u039c\u03ad\u03b3\u03b1\u03c2) was a boy, his tutor L\u00e6ohn\u00eddis (Leonidas; Gr. \u039b\u03b5\u03c9\u03bd\u03af\u03b4\u03b7\u03c2) scolded him for excessive offerings of frankincense: \"When you conquer the lands where these sweet things grow, then be extravagant with this perfume.\" After conquering Gaza, the epicenter of the incense trade, Al\u01fdxandros remembered the incident:\n\"From hence he sent great part of the spoils to Olympias, Cleopatra, and the rest of his friends, not omitting his preceptor Leonidas, on whom he bestowed five hundred talents' weight of frankincense and an hundred of myrrh, in remembrance of the hopes he had once expressed of him when he was but a child. For Leonidas, it seems, standing by him one day while he was sacrificing, and seeing him take both his hands full of incense to throw into the fire, told him it became him to be more sparing in his offerings, and not to be so profuse till he was master of the countries which those sweet gums and spices come from. So Alexander now wrote to him, saying, ' We have sent you abundance of myrrh and frankincense, that for the future you may not be stingy to the Gods.' \"\n(\u03a0\u03bb\u03bf\u03cd\u03c4\u03b1\u03c1\u03c7\u03bf\u03c2 \u0392\u03af\u03bf\u03b9 \u03a0\u03b1\u03c1\u03ac\u03bb\u03bb\u03b7\u03bb\u03bf\u03b9, Life of Al\u01fdxandros 25.4-8, trans. John Dryden in 1683.)\nAl\u01fdxandros' father, Ph\u00edlippos II (Philip the Second of Macedon; \u03a6\u03af\u03bb\u03b9\u03c0\u03c0\u03bf\u03c2 \u0392\u0384 \u1f41 \u039c\u03b1\u03ba\u03b5\u03b4\u03ce\u03bd), held a banquet of which one of the guests was the Syracusan physician, Menecrates, who committed the hubris of comparing himself to Zefs (Zeus; Gr. \u0396\u03b5\u03cd\u03c2) on account of his healing abilities.\n\"He was invited one day by Philip to a magnificent entertainment, where the other guests were sumptuously fed, while he himself had nothing but incense and libations, as not being subject to the human infirmity of hunger. He was at first pleased with his reception, but afterwards, perceiving the joke, and finding that no more substantial food was offered him, he left the party in disgust. (Athen, Aelian, l. c.)\"\n(A Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology, edited by William Smith, 1880, entry: Menecrates)\nWhen Howard Carter opened the tomb of the Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamun in 1922, incense was found. The chemist who examined the resin, A. Lucas, believed it to possibly be powdered frankincense rolled into balls. When burned, Lucas found it still fragrant after 3,500 years, giving off a 'pleasant aromatic odour.'\nMedical uses of frankincense\nNot only is frankincense a holy gift to the Gods, but it is a great boon to mankind. The following is a list of medicinal qualities frankincense is believed to possess.\nDisclaimer: This information has been copied from various lists and I cannot vouch for the ability to produce a cure. If you do wish to experiment, I suggest doing further research and possibly consult your physician. Frankincense for internal use must be sold as such. Boswellic acids are said to have a very low toxicity but this author is not an expert on the medical use of frankincense and cannot take responsibility for the results of anyone's experiments.\n1. The resin, applied as a salve, is used for rheumatism, wounds, and athletic injuries, said to be unsurpassed at healing skin abrasions, acne, dry skin, wounds and scars, and in general having a rejuvenating effect on skin. It is antiseptic.\n2. The soot from burning the resin can also be used to treat wounds and cancerous lesions.\n3. The smoke from the resin is said to be beneficial in general, said to be useful for a sick-room.\n4. The smoke is said to cure some types of headaches.\n5. The resin is anti-inflammatory and analgesic (B-boswellic acid).\n6. The resin is useful for some nervous disorders including forgetfulness, lethargy, emotional fatigue, nervousness, and stress.\n7. Used as an oil in diffusers or as a chest rub, frankincense is decongestant and helpful for colds, sinusitis, bronchitis, night coughing, asthma, emphysema, and laryngitis. Inhaling frankincense is said to slow and deepen the breath and generally relax the patient.\n8. Dissolved in milk, frankincense is said to be useful to subdue a cough.\n9. B. serrata is used extensively in Aryuvedic medicine.\n10. Frankincense is used internally to heal joints and improve mobility.\n11. Frankincense is taken internally for arthritis.\n12. Frankincense, taken internally, is said to be useful for gastro-intestinal problems; it stimulates appetite and digestion, and stops diarrhea and vomiting.\n13. Frankincense has been taken internally for menstrual pains and urinary tract infections.\n14. Frankincense is chewed to strengthen the teeth and gums.\n15. A solution made from frankincense can be used as an eyewash, said to sooth the eyes and aid in eye infections.\n16. Pliny claimed that frankincense is an antidote to hemlock poisoning.\nPlease visit this page: Glossary of Frankincense in Ancient Greek Religion.\n[1] \u03a6\u03b9\u03bb\u03cc\u03c3\u03c4\u03c1\u03b1\u03c4\u03bf\u03c2 \u03a4\u1f70 \u1f10\u03c2 \u03c4\u1f78\u03bd \u03a4\u03c5\u03b1\u03bd\u03ad\u03b1 \u1f08\u03c0\u03bf\u03bb\u03bb\u03ce\u03bd\u03b9\u03bf\u03bd 1:31, trans.

Commissioned in December 1946, She performed her first three years' service in the Atlantic, making one deployment to the Mediterranean in 1948. Early in 1950, Rochester shifted to the Pacific, and was soon sent to the Far East to become Seventh Fleet flagship. She served there until January 1951, taking an active part in Korean War operations and the Formosa Straits patrol.\nRochester made two more Korean War combat tours during 1951-53. She was then modernized, receiving new anti-aircraft guns and other equipment. The rest of the 1950s saw her return to the Far East for five more Seventh Fleet deployments. Rochester's ninth, and final, Western Pacific cruise took place in April-October 1960. She was decommissioned in August 1961 and spent the next dozen years in reserve at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. USS Rochester was stricken from the Naval Vessel Register in October 1973 and was subsequently sold for scrapping.\nThis page features portrait views of USS Rochester.\nFor other images of and on board this ship during and after her Korean War tours, and of her insignia, see:\nUSS Rochester (CA-124) Korean War Activities; and\nUSS Rochester (CA-124) Post-Korean War On Board Views and Ship's Insignia.\nUSS Rochester (CA-124)\nPhotographed in Boston Harbor, Massachusetts, 19 December 1946, the day before her commissioning ceremonies.\nPhotograph dated 27 June 1950.

The study was a cross-sectional survey that employed the use self-administered questionnaire to collect primary data from a sample of 200 respondents of two banks through personal contact. The findings are that customers of Merchant Bank, Ghana (MBG) are more satisfied with the IBSQ than those of Ghana Commercial Bank (GCB). Moreover, income influenced the satisfaction of customers for IBSQ generally. It was found that, generally, customers of the two banks are dissatisfied with the promptness of reception of responses to customer request, the ability to be guided online to resolve problems, offering of preferentially lower fees/ rates and charges, and reasonability of the transaction fee for online banking transactions, but are less satisfied with the quickness of web pages loading when using online banking transactions. Theoretical and managerial implications of the findings have been discussed, and limitations are noted. The paper contributes to the literature in area of customer satisfaction in electronic banking.\n[1]\tZ. Liao and M.T.

So they\u2019d hit a home run and the thing would just go forever, and we would go pocket them. I forget how many baseballs we got but we got a bunch of them.\u201d\nGrowing up in Toronto and spending eight years of their lives in Ontario\u2019s capital, the Oklahoma-born brothers felt the excitement in the air for that game. Fortunately for the teenaged sports fans, that feeling overtook any other, as they braved a variety of weather huddled up in the bleacher seats with plenty of other fans who didn\u2019t mind the cold.\n\u201cI\u2019ve seen a lot of baseball games,\u201d Ryan said. \u201cObviously I am a big baseball fan. But I remember Doug Ault hitting the two homers. I skipped school that day with my twin brother \u2013 not that that was going to hurt the GPA or anything \u2013 but I remember it had every kind of weather known to man. It snowed, it did everything.\u201d\nOf course, the Ryan brothers stayed for the duration of that inaugural Blue Jays matchup, and savoured every moment of it. Rex fondly recalled some of the moments that stood out most for him during the press conference at Coca-Cola Field that followed his somewhat wild pitch to open the International League season in Buffalo.\n\u201cI remember Alvis Woods hitting a home run in his first major-league at-bat,\u201d the 18th head coach in Bills history said. \u201cBill Singer [started] and he was like me. He was a little inconsistent when he started that game. The ball was going all over the place. Richie Zisk \u2026 hit the home run.\n\u201cBut I remember the Blue Jays winning and it was a great game. It really was. And probably the most memorable game that I\u2019ve ever been at because of the significance of it, being the first-ever Blue Jays game.\u201d\nMore than 38 years later, Ryan enjoyed adding his own Opening Day appearance \u2013 his second time tossing from a regulation mound after throwing out a ceremonial pitch at a New York Mets game in June of 2010 \u2013 in his new home city.\n\u201cI was thrilled when the Bisons asked me to throw out the first pitch,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s really an honour. It really is. I probably should have practiced a little more, but it is a great thrill and I appreciate the Bisons.\u201d\nPrevious articleAnesty, Martin, plus 3 join Jrs.\nNext articleUBC track off to Burnaby for Emilie Mondor Invitational",

        "raw_content": "This article is about the geographical reference system. For other uses, see Latitude (disambiguation).\nA graticule on the Earth as a sphere or an ellipsoid. The lines from pole to pole are lines of constant longitude, or meridians. The circles parallel to the equator are lines of constant latitude, or parallels. The graticule determines the latitude and longitude of points on the surface. In this example meridians are spaced at 6\u00b0 intervals and parallels at 4\u00b0 intervals.\nIn geography, latitude (\u03c6) is a geographic coordinate that specifies the north-south position of a point on the Earth's surface. Latitude is an angle (defined below) which ranges from 0\u00b0 at the Equator to 90\u00b0 (North or South) at the poles. Lines of constant latitude, or parallels, run east-west as circles parallel to the equator. Latitude is used together with longitude to specify the precise location of features on the surface of the Earth. Two levels of abstraction are employed in the definition of these coordinates. In the first step the physical surface is modelled by the geoid, a surface which approximates the mean sea level over the oceans and its continuation under the land masses. The second step is to approximate the geoid by a mathematically simpler reference surface. The simplest choice for the reference surface is a sphere, but the geoid is more accurately modelled by an ellipsoid. The definitions of latitude and longitude on such reference surfaces are detailed in the following sections. Lines of constant latitude and longitude together constitute a graticule on the reference surface. The latitude of a point on the actual surface is that of the corresponding point on the reference surface, the correspondence being along the normal to the reference surface which passes through the point on the physical surface. Latitude and longitude together with some specification of height constitute a geographic coordinate system as defined in the specification of the ISO 19111 standard.[1]\nSince there are many different reference ellipsoids the latitude of a feature on the surface is not unique: this is stressed in the ISO standard which states that \"without the full specification of the coordinate reference system, coordinates (that is latitude and longitude) are ambiguous at best and meaningless at worst\". This is of great importance in accurate applications, such as GPS, but in common usage, where high accuracy is not required, the reference ellipsoid is not usually stated.\nIn English texts the latitude angle, defined below, is usually denoted by the Greek lower-case letter phi (\u03c6 or \u0278). It is measured in degrees, minutes and seconds or decimal degrees, north or south of the equator.\nMeasurement of latitude requires an understanding of the gravitational field of the Earth, either for setting up theodolites or for determination of GPS satellite orbits. The study of the figure of the Earth together with its gravitational field is the science of geodesy. These topics are not discussed in this article. (See for example the textbooks by Torge[2] and Hofmann-Wellenhof and Moritz.)[3]\nThis article relates to coordinate systems for the Earth: it may be extended to cover the Moon, planets and other celestial objects by a simple change of nomenclature.\nThe following lists are available:\nList of cities by latitude\nList of countries by latitude\n1 Latitude on the sphere\n1.1 The graticule on the sphere\n1.2 Named latitudes on the Earth\n1.3 Map projections from the sphere\n1.4 Meridian distance on the sphere\n2 Latitude on the ellipsoid\n2.1 Ellipsoids\n2.2 The geometry of the ellipsoid\n2.3 Geodetic and geocentric latitudes\n2.4 Length of a degree of latitude\n3 Auxiliary latitudes\n3.1 Geocentric latitude\n3.2 Reduced (or parametric) latitude\n3.3 Rectifying latitude\n3.4 Authalic latitude\n3.5 Conformal latitude\n3.6 Isometric latitude\n3.7 Inverse formulae and series\n3.8 Numerical comparison of auxiliary latitudes\n4 Latitude and coordinate systems\n4.1 Geodetic coordinates\n4.2 Spherical polar coordinates\n4.3 Ellipsoidal coordinates\n4.4 Coordinate conversions\n5 Astronomical latitude\nLatitude on the sphere\nA perspective view of the Earth showing how latitude (\u03c6) and longitude (\u03bb) are defined on a spherical model. The graticule spacing is 10 degrees.\nThe graticule on the sphere\nThe graticule formed by the lines of constant latitude and constant longitude is constructed with reference to the rotation axis of the Earth. The primary reference points are the poles where the axis of rotation of the Earth intersects the reference surface. Planes which contain the rotation axis intersect the surface in the meridians and the angle between any one meridian plane and that through Greenwich (the Prime Meridian) defines the longitude: meridians are lines of constant longitude. The plane through the centre of the Earth and orthogonal to the rotation axis intersects the surface in a great circle called the equator. Planes parallel to the equatorial plane intersect the surface in circles of constant latitude; these are the parallels. The equator has a latitude of 0\u00b0, the North Pole has a latitude of 90\u00b0 north (written 90\u00b0 N or +90\u00b0), and the South Pole has a latitude of 90\u00b0 south (written 90\u00b0 S or \u221290\u00b0). The latitude of an arbitrary point is the angle between the equatorial plane and the radius to that point.\nThe latitude that is defined in this way for the sphere is often termed the spherical latitude to avoid ambiguity with auxiliary latitudes defined in subsequent sections.\nNamed latitudes on the Earth\nThe orientation of the Earth at the December solstice.\nBesides the equator, four other parallels are of significance:\nArctic Circle 66\u00b0 33\u2032 39\u2033 N\nTropic of Cancer 23\u00b0 26\u2032 21\u2033 N\nTropic of Capricorn 23\u00b0 26\u2032 21\u2033 S\nAntarctic Circle 66\u00b0 33\u2032 39\" S\nThe plane of the Earth's orbit about the sun is called the ecliptic. The plane perpendicular to the rotation axis of the Earth is the equatorial plane. The angle between the ecliptic and the equatorial plane is called the inclination of the ecliptic, denoted by in the figure. The current value of this angle is 23\u00b0 26\u2032 21\u2033.[4] It is also called the axial tilt of the Earth since it is equal to the angle between the axis of rotation and the normal to the ecliptic.\nThe figure shows the geometry of a cross section of the plane normal to the ecliptic and through the centres of the Earth and the Sun at the December solstice when the sun is overhead at some point of the Tropic of Capricorn. The south polar latitudes below the Antarctic Circle are in daylight whilst the north polar latitudes above the Arctic Circle are in night. The situation is reversed at the June solstice when the sun is overhead at the Tropic of Cancer. The latitudes of the tropics are equal to the inclination of the ecliptic and the polar circles are at latitudes equal to its complement. Only at latitudes in between the two tropics is it possible for the sun to be directly overhead (at the zenith).\nThe named parallels are clearly indicated on the Mercator projections shown below.\nMap projections from the sphere\nOn map projections there is no simple rule as to how meridians and parallels should appear. For example, on the spherical Mercator projection the parallels are horizontal and the meridians are vertical whereas on the Transverse Mercator projection there is no correlation of parallels and meridians with horizontal and vertical; both are complicated curves. The red lines are the named latitudes of the previous section.\nNormal Mercator\nFor map projections of large regions, or the whole world, a spherical Earth model is completely satisfactory since the variations attributable to ellipticity are negligible on the final printed maps.\nMeridian distance on the sphere\nOn the sphere the normal passes through the centre and the latitude (\u03c6) is therefore equal to the angle subtended at the centre by the meridian arc from the equator to the point concerned. If the meridian distance is denoted by m(\u03c6) then\nwhere R denotes the mean radius of the Earth. R is equal to 6,371 km or 3,959 miles. No higher accuracy is appropriate for R since higher precision results necessitate an ellipsoid model. With this value for R the meridian length of 1 degree of latitude on the sphere is 111.2 km or 69 miles. The length of 1 minute of latitude is 1.853 km, or 1.15 miles. (See nautical mile).\nLatitude on the ellipsoid\nIn 1687 Isaac Newton published the Philosophi\u00e6 Naturalis Principia Mathematica in which he proved that a rotating self-gravitating fluid body in equilibrium takes the form of an oblate ellipsoid.[5] (This article uses the term ellipsoid in preference to the older term spheroid). Newton's result was confirmed by geodetic measurements in the eighteenth century. (See Meridian arc.) An oblate ellipsoid is the three-dimensional surface generated by the rotation of an ellipse about its shorter axis (minor axis). \"Oblate ellipsoid of revolution\" is abbreviated to ellipsoid in the remainder of this article. (Ellipsoids which do not have an axis of symmetry are termed tri-axial.)\nMany different reference ellipsoids have been used in the history of geodesy. In pre-satellite days they were devised to give a good fit to the geoid over the limited area of a survey but, with the advent of GPS, it has become natural to use reference ellipsoids (such as WGS84) with centres at the centre of mass of the Earth and minor axis aligned to the rotation axis of the Earth. These geocentric ellipsoids are usually within 100m of the geoid. Since latitude is defined with respect to an ellipsoid, the position of a given point is different on each ellipsoid: one can't exactly specify the latitude and longitude of a geographical feature without specifying the ellipsoid used. Many maps maintained by national agencies are based on older ellipsoids so it is necessary to know how the latitude and longitude values are transformed from one ellipsoid to another. GPS handsets include software to carry out datum transformations which link WGS84 to the local reference ellipsoid with its associated grid.\nThe geometry of the ellipsoid\nThe shape of an ellipsoid of revolution is determined by the shape of the ellipse which is rotated about its minor (shorter) axis. Two parameters are required. One is invariably the equatorial radius, which is the semi-major axis, a. The other parameter is usually (1) the polar radius or semi-minor axis, b; or (2) the (first) flattening, f; or (3) the eccentricity, e. These parameters are not independent: they are related by\nMany other parameters (see ellipse, ellipsoid) appear in the study of geodesy, geophysics and map projections but they can all be expressed in terms of one or two members of the set a, b, f and e. Both f and e are small and often appear in series expansions in calculations; they are of the order 1/300 and 0.08, respectively. Values for a number of ellipsoids are given in Figure of the Earth. Reference ellipsoids are usually defined by the semi-major axis and the inverse flattening, 1/f. For example, the defining values for the WGS84 ellipsoid, used by all GPS devices, are[6]\na (equatorial radius): 6,378,137.0 m exactly\n1/f (inverse flattening): 298.257223563 exactly\nfrom which are derived\nb (polar radius): 6,356,752.3142 m\ne2 (eccentricity squared): 0.00669437999014\nThe difference of the major and minor semi-axes is about 21 km and as fraction of the semi-major axis it equals the flattening; on a computer the ellipsoid could be sized as 300px by 299px. This would be indistinguishable from a sphere shown as 300px by 300px, so illustrations always exaggerate the flattening.\nGeodetic and geocentric latitudes\nThe definition of geodetic latitude (\u03c6) and longitude (\u03bb) on an ellipsoid. The normal to the surface does not pass through the centre, except at the equator and at the poles.\nThe graticule on the ellipsoid is constructed in exactly the same way as on the sphere. The normal at a point on the surface of an ellipsoid does not pass through the centre, except for points on the equator or at the poles, but the definition of latitude remains unchanged as the angle between the normal and the equatorial plane. The terminology for latitude must be made more precise by distinguishing\nGeodetic latitude: the angle between the normal and the equatorial plane. The standard notation in English publications is \u03c6. This is the definition assumed when the word latitude is used without qualification. The definition must be accompanied with a specification of the ellipsoid.\nGeocentric latitude: the angle between the radius (from centre to the point on the surface) and the equatorial plane. (Figure below). There is no standard notation: examples from various texts include \u03c8, q, \u03c6', \u03c6c, \u03c6g. This article uses \u03c8.\nSpherical latitude: the angle between the normal to a spherical reference surface and the equatorial plane.\nGeographic latitude must be used with care. Some authors use it as a synonym for geodetic latitude whilst others use it as an alternative to the astronomical latitude.\nLatitude (unqualified) should normally refer to the geodetic latitude.\nThe importance of specifying the reference datum may be illustrated by a simple example. On the reference ellipsoid for WGS84, the centre of the Eiffel Tower has a geodetic latitude of 48\u00b0 51\u2032 29\u2033 N, or 48.8583\u00b0 N and longitude of 2\u00b0 17\u2032 40\u2033 E or 2.2944\u00b0E. The same coordinates on the datum ED50 define a point on the ground which is 140 m distant from Tower.[citation needed] A web search may produce several different values for the latitude of the Tower; the reference ellipsoid is rarely specified.\nMain article: Meridian arc\nIn Meridian arc and standard texts[2][7][8] it is shown that the distance along a meridian from latitude \u03c6 to the equator is given by (\u03c6 in radians)\nThe function in the first integral is the meridional radius of curvature.\nThe distance from the equator to the pole is\nFor WGS84 this distance is 10,001.965729 km.\nThe evaluation of the meridian distance integral is central to many studies in geodesy and map projection. It can be evaluated by expanding the integral by the binomial series and integrating term by term: see Meridian arc for details. The length of the meridian arc between two given latitudes is given by replacing the limits of the integral by the latitudes concerned. The length of a small meridian arc is given by[7][8]\n0\u00b0 110.574 km 111.320 km\n15\u00b0 110.649 km 107.550 km\n30\u00b0 110.852 km 96.486 km\n90\u00b0 111.694 km 0.000 km\nWhen the latitude difference is 1 degree, corresponding to /180 radians, the arc distance is about\nThe distance in metres (correct to 0.01 metre) between latitudes ( deg) and ( deg) on the WGS84 spheroid is\nThe variation of this distance with latitude (on WGS84) is shown in the table along with the length of a degree of longitude:\nA calculator for any latitude is provided by the U.S. government's National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA).[9]\nAuxiliary latitudes\nThere are six auxiliary latitudes that have applications to special problems in geodesy, geophysics and the theory of map projections:\nReduced (or parametric) latitude\nRectifying latitude\nConformal latitude\nThe definitions given in this section all relate to locations on the reference ellipsoid but the first two auxiliary latitudes, like the geodetic latitude, can be extended to define a three-dimensional geographic coordinate system as discussed below. The remaining latitudes are not used in this way; they are used only as intermediate constructs in map projections of the reference ellipsoid to the plane or in calculations of geodesics on the ellipsoid. Their numerical values are not of interest. For example, no one would need to calculate the authalic latitude of the Eiffel Tower.\nThe expressions below give the auxiliary latitudes in terms of the geodetic latitude, the semi-major axis, a, and the eccentricity, e. (For inverses see below.) The forms given are, apart from notational variants, those in the standard reference for map projections, namely \"Map projections: a working manual\" by J. P. Snyder.[10] Derivations of these expressions may be found in Adams[11] and online publications by Osborne[7] and Rapp.[8]\nThe definition of geodetic (or geographic) and geocentric latitudes.\nThe geocentric latitude is the angle between the equatorial plane and the radius from the centre to a point on the surface. The relation between the geocentric latitude (\u03c8) and the geodetic latitude (\u03c6) is derived in the above references as\nThe geodetic and geocentric latitudes are equal at the equator and poles. The value of the squared eccentricity is approximately 0.0067 (depending on the choice of ellipsoid) and the maximum difference of (\u03c6-\u03c8) is approximately 11.5 minutes of arc at a geodetic latitude of 45\u00b05\u2032.\nDefinition of the reduced latitude (\u03b2) on the ellipsoid.\nThe reduced or parametric latitude, \u03b2, is defined by the radius drawn from the centre of the ellipsoid to that point Q on the surrounding sphere (of radius a) which is the projection parallel to the Earth's axis of a point P on the ellipsoid at latitude . It was introduced by Legendre[12] and Bessel[13] who solved problems for geodesics on the ellipsoid by transforming them to an equivalent problem for spherical geodesics by using this smaller latitude. Bessel's notation, , is also used in the current literature. The reduced latitude is related to the geodetic latitude by:[7][8]\nThe alternative name arises from the parameterization of the equation of the ellipse describing a meridian section. In terms of Cartesian coordinates p, the distance from the minor axis, and z, the distance above the equatorial plane, the equation of the ellipse is:\nThe Cartesian coordinates of the point are parameterized by\nCayley suggested the term parametric latitude because of the form of these equations.[14]\nThe reduced latitude is not used in the theory of map projections. Its most important application is in the theory of ellipsoid geodesics. (Vincenty, Karney).[15]\nSee also: Rectifying radius\nThe rectifying latitude, \u03bc, is the meridian distance scaled so that its value at the poles is equal to 90 degrees or \u03c0/2 radians:\nwhere the meridian distance from the equator to a latitude \u03c6 is (see Meridian arc)\nand the length of the meridian quadrant from the equator to the pole (the polar distance) is\nUsing the rectifying latitude to define a latitude on a sphere of radius\ndefines a projection from the ellipsoid to the sphere such that all meridians have true length and uniform scale. The sphere may then be projected to the plane with an equirectangular projection to give a double projection from the ellipsoid to the plane such that all meridians have true length and uniform meridian scale. An example of the use of the rectifying latitude is the Equidistant conic projection. (Snyder, Section 16).[10] The rectifying latitude is also of great importance in the construction of the Transverse Mercator projection.\nSee also: Authalic radius\nThe authalic (Greek for same area) latitude, \u03be, gives an area-preserving transformation to a sphere.\nand the radius of the sphere is taken as\nAn example of the use of the authalic latitude is the Albers equal-area conic projection. (Snyder,[10] Section 14).\nThe conformal latitude, \u03c7, gives an angle-preserving (conformal) transformation to the sphere.\nwhere gd(x) is the Gudermannian function. (See also Mercator projection.) The conformal latitude defines a transformation from the ellipsoid to a sphere of arbitrary radius such that the angle of intersection between any two lines on the ellipsoid is the same as the corresponding angle on the sphere (so that the shape of small elements is well preserved). A further conformal transformation from the sphere to the plane gives a conformal double projection from the ellipsoid to the plane. This is not the only way of generating such a conformal projection. For example, the 'exact' version of the Transverse Mercator projection on the ellipsoid is not a double projection. (It does, however, involve a generalisation of the conformal latitude to the complex plane).\nThe isometric latitude is conventionally denoted by \u03c8 (not to be confused with the geocentric latitude): it is used in the development of the ellipsoidal versions of the normal Mercator projection and the Transverse Mercator projection. The name \"isometric\" arises from the fact that at any point on the ellipsoid equal increments of \u03c8 and longitude \u03bb give rise to equal distance displacements along the meridians and parallels respectively. The graticule defined by the lines of constant \u03c8 and constant \u03bb, divides the surface of the ellipsoid into a mesh of squares (of varying size). The isometric latitude is zero at the equator but rapidly diverges from the geodetic latitude, tending to infinity at the poles. The conventional notation is given in Snyder (page 15):[10]\nFor the normal Mercator projection (on the ellipsoid) this function defines the spacing of the parallels: if the length of the equator on the projection is E (units of length or pixels) then the distance, y, of a parallel of latitude \u03c6 from the equator is\nThe isometric latitude is closely related to the conformal latitude:\nInverse formulae and series\nThe formulae in the previous sections give the auxiliary latitude in terms of the geodetic latitude. The expressions for the geocentric and reduced latitudes may be inverted directly but this is impossible in the four remaining cases: the rectifying, authalic, conformal, and isometric latitudes. There are two methods of proceeding. The first is a numerical inversion of the defining equation for each and every particular value of the auxiliary latitude. The methods available are fixed-point iteration and Newton-Raphson root finding. The other, more useful, approach is to express the auxiliary latitude as a series in terms of the geodetic latitude and then invert the series by the method of Lagrange reversion. Such series are presented by Adams who uses Taylor series expansions and gives coefficients in terms of the eccentricity.[11] Osborne[7] derives series to arbitrary order by using the computer algebra package Maxima[16] and expresses the coefficients in terms of both eccentricity and flattening. The series method is not applicable to the isometric latitude and one must use the conformal latitude in an intermediate step.\nNumerical comparison of auxiliary latitudes\nThe following plot shows the magnitude of the difference between the geodetic latitude, (denoted as the \"common\" latitude on the plot), and the auxiliary latitudes other than the isometric latitude (which diverges to infinity at the poles). In every case the geodetic latitude is the greater. The differences shown on the plot are in arc minutes. The horizontal resolution of the plot fails to make clear that the maxima of the curves are not at 45\u00b0 but calculation shows that they are within a few arc minutes of 45\u00b0. Some representative data points are given in the table following the plot. Note the closeness of the conformal and geocentric latitudes. This was exploited in the days of hand calculators to expedite the construction of map projections. (Snyder,[10] page 108).\nApproximate difference from geodetic latitude ( )\n0\u00b0 0.00\u2032 0.00\u2032 0.00\u2032 0.00\u2032 0.00\u2032\n15\u00b0 2.91\u2032 3.89\u2032 4.37\u2032 5.82\u2032 5.82\u2032\n30\u00b0 5.05\u2032 6.73\u2032 7.57\u2032 10.09\u2032 10.09\u2032\nLatitude and coordinate systems\nThe geodetic latitude, or any of the auxiliary latitudes defined on the reference ellipsoid, constitutes with longitude a two-dimensional coordinate system on that ellipsoid. To define the position of an arbitrary point it is necessary to extend such a coordinate system into three dimensions. Three latitudes are used in this way: the geodetic, geocentric and reduced latitudes are used in geodetic coordinates, spherical polar coordinates and ellipsoidal coordinates respectively.\nGeodetic coordinates P(\u0278,\u03bb,h)\nAt an arbitrary point P consider the line PN which is normal to the reference ellipsoid. The geodetic coordinates P(\u0278,\u03bb,h) are the latitude and longitude of the point N on the ellipsoid and the distance PN. This height differs from the height above the geoid or a reference height such as that above mean sea level at a specified location. The direction of PN will also differ from the direction of a vertical plumb line. The relation of these different heights requires knowledge of the shape of the geoid and also the gravity field of the Earth.\nGeocentric coordinate related to spherical polar coordinates P(r, \u03b8, \u03bb)\nThe geocentric latitude \u03c8 is the complement of the polar angle \u03b8 in conventional spherical polar coordinates in which the coordinates of a point are P(r, \u03b8, \u03bb) where r is the distance of P from the centre O, \u03b8 is the angle between the radius vector and the polar axis and \u03bb is longitude. Since the normal at a general point on the ellipsoid does not pass through the centre it is clear that points on the normal, which all have the same geodetic latitude, will have differing geocentric latitudes. Spherical polar coordinate systems are used in the analysis of the gravity field.\nEllipsoidal coordinates P(u,\u03b2,\u03bb)\nThe reduced latitude can also be extended to a three-dimensional coordinate system. For a point P not on the reference ellipsoid (semi-axes OA and OB) construct an auxiliary ellipsoid which is confocal (same foci F, F') with the reference ellipsoid: the necessary condition is that the product ae of semi-major axis and eccentricity is the same for both ellipsoids. Let u be the semi-minor axis (OD) of the auxiliary ellipsoid. Further let \u03b2 be the reduced latitude of P on the auxiliary ellipsoid. The set (u,\u03b2,\u03bb) define the ellipsoid coordinates. (Torge[2] Section 4.2.2). These coordinates are the natural choice in models of the gravity field for a uniform distribution of mass bounded by the reference ellipsoid.\nCoordinate conversions\nThe relations between the above coordinate systems, and also Cartesian coordinates are not presented here. The transformation between geodetic and Cartesian coordinates may be found in Geodetic system. The relation of Cartesian and spherical polars is given in Spherical coordinate system. The relation of Cartesian and ellipsoidal coordinates is discussed in Torge.[2]\nAstronomical latitude (\u03a6) is the angle between the equatorial plane and the true vertical at a point on the surface. The true vertical, the direction of a plumb line, is also the direction of the gravity acceleration, the resultant of the gravitational acceleration (mass-based) and the centrifugal acceleration at that latitude (see Torge.)[2] Astronomic latitude is calculated from angles measured between the zenith and stars whose declination is accurately known.\nIn general the true vertical at a point on the surface does not exactly coincide with either the normal to the reference ellipsoid or the normal to the geoid. The angle between the astronomic and geodetic normals is usually a few seconds of arc but it is important in geodesy.[2][3] The reason why it differs from the normal to the geoid is, because the geoid is an idealized, theoretical shape \"at mean sea level\". Points on the real surface of the earth are usually above or below this idealized geoid surface and here the true vertical can vary slightly. Also, the true vertical at a point at a specific time is influenced by tidal forces, which the theoretical geoid averages out.\nAstronomical latitude is not to be confused with declination, the coordinate astronomers used in a similar way to describe the locations of stars north/south of the celestial equator (see equatorial coordinates), nor with ecliptic latitude, the coordinate that astronomers use to describe the locations of stars north/south of the ecliptic (see ecliptic coordinates).\nAltitude (mean sea level)\nDeclination on celestial sphere\n\u2191 The current full documentation of ISO 19111 may be purchased from http://www.iso.org but drafts of the final standard are freely available at many web sites, one such is available at the following CSIRO\n\u2191 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 2.5 Torge, W (2001) Geodesy (3rd edition), published by De Gruyter, isbn=3-11-017072-8\n\u2191 3.0 3.1 Hofmann-Wellenhof, B and Moritz, H (2006).

That is according to an F5 Networks report, \u20182018 Phishing and Fraud Report: Attacks Peak During the Holidays\u2019, which points out that this time of year, when many in the western world start preparing to wind down for the holidays, is: \u201calso peak season for phishing, when scammers use e-mail, text messages and fake websites to trick people into giving up their personal information.\nIt\u2019s \u2018prime crime time\u2019 when phishers and fraudsters creep out of their holes to take advantage of people when they\u2019re distracted; businesses are wrapping up end-of-year activities; key staff members are on vacation; and record numbers of online holiday shoppers are searching for the best deals.\u201d\nSimon McCullough, Major Channel Account Manager at F5, said, \u201cUnfortunately, cybercriminals don\u2019t necessarily take time off to celebrate the holiday season, which is a prime time for all kinds of phishing attacks. During this time of year, when people are frantically starting to try and wind down their workloads, and are perhaps too busy and distracted to pay proper attention to all the e-mails they have to open, it\u2019s easy for hackers to try and take advantage by sending out mischievous fake e-mails with the aim of stealing credentials and other confidential information. If your employees view these malicious e-mails on your network, your company could be at risk of a major breach.\u201d\nThe report, which is based on data from a variety of sources, including the F5 Security Operations Center (SOC) and F5\u2019s data partner Webroot, looks at phishing and fraud trends over a year, the top impersonated companies in phishing attacks (by both name and industry), the growth rate in phishing attacks and the fastest growing targets. The report outlines some of the following pertinent facts:\nFraud incidents in October, November and December jump over 50% from the annual average. Employees need to be warned and trained how to recognise phishing attempts and reduce their click-through rate on malicious e-mails, links and attachments\nWith the cloning of legitimate e-mails from well-known companies, the quality of phishing e-mails is improving and fooling more unsuspecting victims\nFinancial organisations are the fastest growing phishing targets heading into the \u2018holiday phishing season\u2019 but F5 expects also to see a rise in e-commerce and shipping\nIn order to guard against employees who can fall victim to phishing attacks, security professionals are advised to make sure their organisation\u2019s protection includes web filtering, anti-virus software and multi-factor authentication\nAnton Jacobsz, Managing Director at Networks Unlimited, a value-added distributor of F5 in Africa, added: \u201cAs this retail prime time season approaches, we know that many shoppers are more concerned with getting themselves a good deal than avoiding phishing scams.\n\u201cScammers send malicious e-mails and messages to consumers to try to obtain credit card details, usernames, passwords and other sensitive information, and so, to avoid being taken advantage of, it\u2019s important for consumers to be on the alert for the signs of a phishing scam and only shop at trusted sites.\n\u201cAs with most cyberthreats, phishing can be guarded against using a combination of people, processes and technology \u2013 there are steps that can be taken to fortify your organisation and empower your employees.

        "raw_content": "Role of traditional birth attendants to change\nBLANTYRE, 19 October 2007\nMalawi is planning to change the role of Traditional Birth Attendants (TBAs) in an attempt to reduce one of the world's highest rates of maternal and infant deaths.\nA 2004 Malawi Demographic and Health Survey said the maternal and infant mortality rate was 984 out of every 100,000 live births, translating to 6,000 maternal deaths each year.\nBut such a move, observers say, does not take into account the already overburdened public health system, which would be overwhelmed if TBAs were removed.\nAdamson Muula, a lecturer in community health at the Malawi College of Medicine, in the commercial capital of Blantyre, said less than half the women in Malawi delivered their babies at recommended hospitals, \"yet the system is overtaxed.\"\n\"If government plans not to use TBAs anymore, then a safe alternative must be identified. In many cases, not all women, even if they wanted, would end up\ndelivering at the hospital. Again, if just 70 percent of all pregnant women were to deliver at the hospital, the hospital system would not cope,\" he said.\nBirth attendants shoulder the blame\nSabinna Mlusu, the District Nursing Officer in Blantyre, said the reason for government ending the practice of licensing TBAs was the discovery \"that most maternal and infant deaths are caused by delays in arranging transport from homes of TBAs to clinics, and then to referral hospitals. Such delays ended up complicating cases which TBAs could not treat.\"\nIf government plans not to use TBAs anymore, then a safe alternative must be identified. In many cases, not all women, even if they wanted, would end up delivering at hospital\nShe said the majority of deaths were a consequence of such complications as internal bleeding and high blood pressure, which required emergency medical attention only available at public and private clinics.\nDiana Khonje, neonatal health officer at the Reproductive Health Department in Malawi's Ministry of Health, said government would not completely discard the TBAs, but that they would no longer perform the duties of midwives.\n\"They have been given a new roles. One of them will be to arrange transport for expectant women to clinics and teach lactating mothers the importance of breast feeding,\" Khonje said.\nShe dismissed concerns that removing TBAs from the loop would exert an added burden on public health facilities. \"There is enough capacity in our hospitals to handle maternity cases. The problem is that most women are ill-informed ... [often] by the same TBAs who were getting paid for the services rendered.\"\nShe said the process for switching the TBAs from handling expectant mothers would be gradual. \"We believe in their new roles the TBAs will help government to reach out to the rural poor who are ... [mostly] ill-informed about childbirth and breast feeding.\"\nChimota Phiri, the Blantyre District Health Officer, told IRIN that the government was also using traditional leaders to convince people to stop using TBAs. \"People tend to listen much more to what their traditional leaders tell them than anyone else. Chiefs must therefore tell people the importance of coming to hospitals with problems affecting their health.\"\nHe said the country's high maternal and infant mortality rate was a consequence of home births. \"Such unsafe conditions cause infections to both the mother and the baby, which, in most cases, lead to death.\"\nBut not all traditional leaders accepted that the high rate of maternal and infant deaths could be attributed to TBAs. Chief Kabunduli, from northern Malawi, said government should also shoulder some of the blame. \"Experience has shown that most maternal and child deaths occur in houses of TBAs, but it is government that accredits these people.\"\nCharles Munthali, a health official from the same region, said in one district only 4,000 of the about 10,000 expectant mothers had visited a hospital for antenatal services. \"Maternal and newborn deaths are avoidable, but most women prefer to go for deliveries by unskilled TBAs.\"\nThe United Kingdom Department for International Development (DFID), which has donated about US140 million to Malawi for 2006/07 - including $40 million for budget support, another $40 million for health and HIV/AIDS, and $14 million for education - said there were evident challenges in the health sector, as the maternal mortality rate had risen by more than 50 percent since 1992.\nHowever, at the same time, the under-five mortality rate had declined to 133 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2004 - a 43 percent reduction in 12 years - and was on target to reach the 2015 Millennium Development Goal in this category.\nThe UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) estimates that almost half of all births in developing countries occur without a skilled birth attendant present. Globally, 529,000 women die every year in pregnancy or birth, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO).\njk/go/he",

This could affect their credit ratings and create problems with existing loan covenants, especially if long-term leases are involved. The new rules would apply to existing leases, regardless of when they were implemented, but would not affect how a lease is treated for income tax purposes.\nProponents of the change contend that it will create uniformity in global accounting standards, and make it easier to compare the financial status of various companies now that they all will be required to include leased assets and liabilities on their balance sheets.\nThe effect on companies could be dramatic. Adding the increased liability to their balance sheets may force some businesses to have their current loans called because of changes in their financial ratios. And it could make it much more difficult for them to attract investors and lenders.\nOwners and landlords would also feel the pinch from the rules change. Companies discussing new leases would likely try to negotiate more flexible terms, while businesses currently leasing space would try to renegotiate for shorter lease terms and more renewal options. At the very least, those companies would be forced to monitor renewal dates and termination clauses to a far greater degree than before.\nWhat all this means to owners and landlords is they may well have to change the way they do business. For starters, they\u2019ll need to develop strategies to address far more demands from lessees during negotiations. The expectation is that many companies would respond to the new reporting requirements with demands to renegotiate and restructure their current leases.\nFinancial industry experts say adoption of the proposed change is virtually assured. The shift in rules would significantly change the playing field for commercial real estate brokers, who would be able to count on new opportunities as more companies respond to the rules change by buying, rather than leasing property. Any time there is a change in the market, there is opportunity!\nJoe Larkin is a 30+ year veteran of the commercial real estate industry.

        "title": "Fourth Row Center: Film Writings by Jason Bailey: #Sundance Review: \"Safety Not Guaranteed\"",
        "raw_content": "Darius Britt, the heroine of the stripped-down time travel comedy Safety Not Guaranteed, can barely remember a time where she was hopeful or optimistic. Nowadays, she says, \u201cI just expect the worst.\u201d Darius is played by Aubrey Plaza, and it is not exactly casting against type; Plaza co-stars on Parks and Recreation, where her delightfully bone-dry line readings and biting deadpan never fail to beguile. Safety is her first starring role (she played supporting roles in Funny People and Scott Pilgrim), and it may as well be accompanied by fanfares. She\u2019s got a terrific screen presence, and the camera simply loves her. She also picks her project well\u2014this modest, stripped-down effort is utterly enchanting.\nDarius is an unloved intern at a glossy Seattle magazine who volunteers to investigate a peculiar classified ad, seeking out a \u201cpartner\u201d to travel through time. Smug writer Jeff (Jake M. Johnson) brings interns Darius and Arnau (Karan Soni) to the coastal town from whence the ad originated; Darius does some amateur sleuthing and lands on Kenneth Calloway (prolific indie filmmaker Mark Duplass). Darius is the most promising \u201cundercover\u201d agent of the bunch, so she offers herself up to accompany Kenneth on his mission.\nIt\u2019s pretty clear, from their first meeting, that he\u2019s met his match\u2014the scene is Plaza\u2019s comic high point, vamping her way through the tough-girl charade (\u201cWell, there\u2019s no sense in nonsense, especially when the heat\u2019s hot\u201d). As she spends more time with Kenneth, embarking on a \u201ctraining\u201d regimen for their \u201cmission\u201d (target practice, hand-to-hand-combat, long-distance running), she\u2019s not quite sure what to make of this guy, and neither are we. Clad in a jean jacket and driving a sports car, both of which appear to date from the mid-\u201880s, he comes off at first like a broad, survivalist, paranoid caricature. But there\u2019s a specificity to the character, to his syntax choices and manner of carrying himself. I\u2019ve known a couple of guys like this, and I get the feeling Duplass has too.\nMeanwhile, Jeff (a writer with an apparent aversion to actually writing) has taken the opportunity of the trip to track down and reconnect with a girl he dated as a teenager. Early on, his plotline seems disconnected, almost a distraction, until its thematic link becomes clear: he\u2019s looking to travel through time as well, albeit in a manner less literal and (presumably) more easily achieved.\nFor most of its running time, Safety Not Guaranteed hums along on its charm and quirk. Derek Connolly\u2019s script is composed of short, punchy scenes, and Colin Trevorrow\u2019s direction is a model of efficiency; there are moments where he gets a laugh with a well-timed cut. His triumph, though, is in his smooth manipulation of the picture\u2019s tonal variations. He shifts into contemplative pathos and genuine wonder in the third act with such skill that it\u2019s almost a sneak attack\u2014you\u2019re surprised by how absorbed you\u2019ve become in this nutty little picture.\nI\u2019ll confess to being left a little agog by the film\u2019s ending, which has to do about twelve difficult things at once, and does them all without bobbling a single one of them. There\u2019s a charge in watching a filmmaker take the kind of chances Trevorrow does, and pull it off; this viewer exited the screening with a big grin and a couple of leftover goosebumps. Safety Not Guaranteed is a genuine original.\nLabels: aubrey plaza, jake johnson, mark duplass, sundance",

        "raw_content": "Escape to Alaska\nLast week in Fairbanks, Alaska, the temperature dropped to 53 below. It was more than 100 degrees warmer in Boulder, where I was mashing pedals through four inches of thick slush on top of mud. My speed stayed firmly lodged in the 2.5 mph range, while I fretted about the state of the world, geopolitical nonsense, and strong desire to not face a certain crushing expedition, now just a month away. I'm not ready for the Iditarod, again ... but of course I've never been ready, and I never will be. But I was desperate for a modicum of confidence. If I could just test my current and mostly non-negotiable state of fitness in real Alaska conditions \u2014 a place where the air is rich and cold, where the boreal forest stretches out for hundreds of miles, and I could possibly even tune out the news ... at least for a few days.\nThat's how I ended up hovering over the Alaska Airlines Web site, debating mileage ticket possibilities, convincing Beat it was a good idea, and finally flying solo to Fairbanks on Tuesday night. By the time I landed, temperatures had risen to -12. They would be +12 before morning, and continue rising to +30 by Thursday. So much for true Alaska training conditions. But it felt right, all the same.\nOn Wednesday it was nice and bright by 11 a.m., which seemed quite early \u2014 usually we visit Fairbanks over Christmas break; in comparison, late January seems like practically summer. Of course it does, when temperatures are in the teens when you've emotionally banked on 50 below. I put together my sled for the first time since 2015, and hauled it on a five-hour drag through a few inches of fluff over lightly traveled trails.\nWhy was I dragging a sled? Because I'm still considering it as a way to avoid that terrifying expedition by committing to a harder \u2014 but more predictable \u2014 effort on a shorter route. And, truthfully, I missed the quiet rhythm of hauling a heavy load through the snowy woods. The sled pulls me into deep but dispassionate concentration, breathing in and out, thinking only of forward motion and the tidy patterns of a monochrome world.\nFive hours was enough to remind me that I haven't pulled a sled more than a few miles here and there since 2014. My hips became sore, my hamstrings screamed and my calves burned. Still, I can't help but appreciate the strain of sled-dragging. It's the only activity I've found where my (meager) aerobic capacity exceeds my (surprisingly inadequate) leg strength. Breathing was easy. Walking was hard.\nOn Thursday I returned to the familiar, borrowing my friend Corrine's bike for a six-hour spin that of course included hike-a-bike and multiple near-crashes while negotiating soft, rutted trail in flat light. It was interesting to find highly variable trail conditions in a short distance \u2014 from the perfect smooth singletrack of O'Conner Creek, to wind drifts on the ridge, to the aforementioned soft ruts and overflow on Eldorado Creek.\nI was breathing really well today, which may have been a result of difficult trail conditions that never allowed me to really \"open up.\" Still, it was refreshing not to experience any constriction, wheezing, dizziness, or even brief bouts of shallow breathing. Lower altitudes probably played a large role in this. It's encouraging, though. I came to Alaska to search for confidence. I may not find it, or even need it, but I keep looking, all the same.\nThe gray, warm day cleared up and cooled down. I fish-tailed, mashed and crashed my way down Eldorado Creek, taking a multitude of breaks just to gaze toward the orange-frosted trees and think, \"How did I get here? I'm so lucky to be here.\"\nEven luckier is our plan for the weekend \u2014 a three-day cabin trip into the White Mountains, where there's no Internet and no way to hear whether the world ended while we were away. Yes, I may not gain confidence, but I've already found peace.\nMy first car was a 1989 Toyota Tercel, which I bought the summer after I graduated from high school. I called the car \"Terry.\" It was my loyal partner in adventure \u2014 trips to the Southern Utah desert, snowboarding at Brighton, New Year's Eve 1998 in Portland. For my 21st birthday, my friends and I drove to Wendover, Nevada \u2014 a hedonistic outpost on the edge of the Bonneville Salt Flats. The following day, while driving east on a long, flat straightaway of Interstate 80, I decided to test Terry's limits. Hot August sunlight shimmered across the white desert as I floored the gas pedal \u2014 100 mph, 110 mph. All four of us in the car were screaming as I buried the needle beyond 115 mph for several seconds, until fear got the better of me.\nI'll never know if that Salt Flats speed record was the catalyst, but after that, my underpowered, 12-year-old car with 190,000 miles went downhill fast. First the car started sputtering up hills, and then the gas mileage plummeted. Terry would vibrate horribly while idling, and then wouldn't start on its own. I had to park the car on hills and pop the clutch. While driving, I had to give the car gas at all times; otherwise the engine would die and wouldn't start again. It was quite a contortionist act to keep all three pedals pressed at stop lights. I quickly got used to Terry's quirks, but my sister borrowed the car once and is still traumatized by the experience. Finally I took Terry to see a mechanic, who told me one of the engine's cylinders had burned out. For a car that didn't have a lot of oomph to begin with, it was only going to continue to lose power. I'd eventually end up stranded, the mechanic said, unless I invested in a complete engine overhaul.\nSometimes I think about that Tercel when I am sputtering up a hill. I wonder whether, in the spirit of this seriously contorted analogy, I too have a burned-out cylinder. Maybe I buried my own needle one too many times. It was the death of Terry; I sold it to the Pick n' Pull for $150. Cars can be replaced. Humans have to work with their imperfect engines. Don't get me wrong; I'm grateful I'm still moving. But I need to reconcile the sputtering somehow, in case an engine overhaul never happens.\nSince returning from Idaho, I've been mulling what to do about Alaska this year. The Iditarod is a hard thing to quit. I considered leaving my bike at home and starting with a sled and the intention to walk the 350. Perhaps I should delay attempting the Southern Route to Nome until I'm stronger and more ready, should that year ever arrive. If I was on foot, it would be easier to manage my pace and breathing. A 45-pound sled is often less strenuous to manage than an 80-pound bike. Hiking over the Alaska Range offers plenty of adventure without fretting about becoming dizzy and keeling over when I'm truly in the middle of nowhere, like the Shageluk Hills or the wind-blasted Yukon River. True, I've done no sled training and haven't run enough miles this winter to guess whether my body could handle that distance right now. By this point I had hoped to have at least one test sled run, but I haven't even found all of the pieces of my sled to put it together.\nOver the weekend, we joined our friends Jorge and Wendy on a climb up to 12,000 feet on Niwot Ridge. Although I was the only one not dragging a sled, I still sputtered up the mountain in my snowshoes, and grumbled at Beat when he teased me for not keeping up. The sky was a dynamic mix of sun and cloud, and the snow was deep in the trees and scoured on the ridge. The weather was warm and almost eerily calm. It was a beautiful day that I probably would have enjoyed more if I wasn't trying to imagine it as \"training.\" I mused about becoming a hobby hiker and never worrying how long these types of outings even take (for the record, 12 miles in just under seven hours.)\nIt's a strange experience, being so out of shape from a power standpoint, while subsequently feeling like I've never been stronger in terms of endurance. I wasn't sore after 19 hours on the Fat Pursuit course, wasn't tired after a night of sleep, and felt like I was just warming up when the seven-hour snowshoe hike ended. Sitting at home, I'm full of energy and feel like I could burst out the door at a full sprint. Of course the minute I set out, I start sputtering, and the negative feedback loop renews. But if I can avoid the sputtering, I genuinely believe I could just keep moving and not become weary.\nSo I'm torn about what to do about Alaska, as you can see, and wondering whatever happened to Terry the Tercel. That's the beautiful thing about the Pick n' Pull \u2014 parts can live on long after the car is gone.\nI honestly don't know why I keep coming back here. There's invisible Velcro under my tires, just like there was in 2015, and I don't understand why my legs are burning. I'm just pedaling \u2014 as slowly as possible, really \u2014 while wispy clouds strain to capture fading light. The sun set and we're just getting started. I'm already lost in memories. I want to find new experiences, but I keep coming back here. It's inevitable that I'll relive the past. Island Park, Idaho \u2014 this is the place where I crumbled in this same 200-mile bike race last year. Two years ago, the Warm River gorge is where I stopped during the Tour Divide, crawled into a clammy sleeping bag, and alternately sobbed and coughed because I'd never felt so weak or hopeless. And yet I here I am. I keep coming back.\nThe pack fades into the distance and I continue spinning slowly, trying to ignore the tightness I already feel in my chest. This is how it is. This is who I am. I'm going to work with it, use it to find the same joy and awe I've always found on life's outer limit. Night is descending and the temperature follows. It was 2 degrees at the start; five miles later, it's already down to 5 below. I stop to put a fleece jacket on. My water valve is already frozen. Golden-tinted plumes of steam rise from Henry's Fork, billowing around a flock of geese. \"Why don't they leave for the winter? I suppose water is warmer than air.\"\nThe course winds through Herriman State Park. I burn a few matches propelling myself up steep singletrack. My lungs burn as a mash the pedals. Hard surges are something I promised myself I wouldn't do, but I'm feeling good, and I am at the back of the race, so I can't dawdle too much.\nMiles roll by, the Velcro snow becomes stickier, and the night more menacing. After two hours under my armpit, the water valve final opens. I greedily suck water and roll deep-frozen cinnamon bears on my tongue. It's minus 16, then minus 19. Around mile 25 I catch up to Beat, who is miserable in his vapor barrier shirt. He can't tell whether he's wet or cold, and can't strip in these temperatures. \"It's minus 24 now,\" I announce. My feet and hands are toasty, but I can hear a quiet gurgle in my breaths. I know that's the thing that's really not good.\nWe reach the spur to Mesa Falls, dropping steeply into a gorge for no good reason, but it's part of the race. We walk gingerly along an icy overlook and glance across the canyon. Last year the night was overcast and I couldn't see anything at all, but this year the moon is out. Sheer cliffs are bathed in sliver light. \"It's really beautiful,\" I say to Beat, and we stand a few seconds longer until shivering sets in. This isn't weather for standing still.\nThe long climb begins, and I'm hunched beside my bike, barely putting one foot in front of the other up impossibly steep slopes. I start coughing and spit up a gob of thick gunk. This is the point I know has no return. I can't recover from this. Perhaps it was inevitable, but there's always hope that I'll beat it. \"This is just like the Tour Divide,\" I think. \"Only different.\"\nThe night flickers and fades, muted by reduced awareness that I think of as \"oxygen deprivation.\" I try to remind myself to eat, trail mix and cinnamon bears that I have to hold in my mouth for at least five minutes before they're malleable enough the chew. Beat sticks with me even though I'm moving slowly, perhaps too slowly to stay warm, but my head is fuzzy and it's the best I can do. We think the temperature will warm as we climb, but it doesn't feel that way. Finally I check the thermometer, and it's minus 30. Then minus 34. Minus 37. Beat has told me that when it's minus 40, there's always a devil lurking in the shadows. I'm warm but I can sense the devil, stalking through the trees, waiting for that single mistake to strike.\nWe pedal and walk, mostly walk, because that's all I can manage on even slight inclines. Beat prefers walking. Moonlight fades, and the sky is stars upon stars. The air seems colder. A stiff breeze pushes against us; on bare skin it feels like fire. The windchill is the coldest I've ever felt, but I don't dare check the thermometer. The devil tells me the temperature will just keep dropping, and I don't want to think about that. I can't fish the water hose out of my jacket, so I give up on drinking. I keep eating, as though food could somehow give me the energy I desperately need. I'm coughing. My breathing sounds horrible inside my face mask. It's obstructing the air, so I pull it down. \"Nose frostbite isn't really that bad.\"\nThere are many quiet hours when I'm certain light will appear on the horizon. It never does. I don't think about the race or the miles ahead, only the need to keep moving, keep breathing. The night is long and expansive, the forest is drenched in frost, the snow is glistening with starlight, and it really is beautiful. It is so beautiful. How could I ever describe it? I cannot. I am oxygen- and sleep-deprived, addled, and know on an intellectual level that this intense beauty exists only in my imagination. But I am happy to be here. Through it all, this is what I came for.\nDawn appears. Beat has drifted ahead. It's still minus 32. Even as orange light dusts the tips of trees, it doesn't warm up. I've already put on my big coat because I wanted to feel toasty, but hints of lucidity return and I regret that I didn't preserve more of a margin for error. I'm coughing more, and in daylight I can see yellow mucous in the snow. I know it won't get better. I know I'll keep moving more slowly, struggling and possibly becoming more sick until time cutoffs force what is now an inevitable DNF. I know I have to stop. This is no sadness or relief in this, just stoic acknowledgement. I'm not really an endurance athlete anymore. I can keep pushing it and I'll probably keep having the same results, unless something changes. But there's no reason I can't keep hoping for change.\nThe descent is long and I feel like I have to work hard to move forward, even here. Beat waits for me at the bottom. We've both made peace with the fact we're going to stop at mile 80, again. The night was harsh, and most of the field of 25 or so either quit at this point or turned around earlier because of cold concerns or equipment failures. A handful pressed on into temperatures that swung 60 degrees into the low 20s, followed by a stowstorm. Of those, only one man finished. The Fat Pursuit is indeed a hard race, even without Arctic temperatures. Although I may have gone into it with a defeatist attitude, I really did want to finish, to prove to myself I can still be strong, I can still breathe fire, I can still seek intense beauty. But what is it they say about the definition of insanity?\nI've said this before, but I really should do some soul-searching about my plans for this year. Regardless of what I decide, I'm not going to sign up for the Fat Pursuit in 2018. Hold me to that. If I want things to change, I need to change.\nOut of shape and maybe okay with it\nToday I returned for allergy shots after a much-enjoyed two-week break while the clinic was closed. Before administering the shots, the nurses measure my peak expiratory flow rate (basically measuring how well I breathe out, a common way to monitor asthma.) Since I started the immunotherapy treatments, this number has been on a small but steady decline. The normal rate for a woman my age and height is about 430. The last time I went in for shots, my peak flow registered 290 \u2014 which is pretty much off-the-charts low. The nurse made me keep trying until I boosted it to 330, because if the number is too far below my norm, I can't get shots. I didn't tell her how light-headed I was feeling.\nToday, however, I registered 410 on the first puff. This time, the nurse urged me to try a few more times to ensure it was a correct reading. Since my normal is in the low 300s, a 400 reading may lead to registering too low for shots the next time around. \"If they ask, tell them you were having a good lung day,\" she said.\nA good lung day. Why can't all the days be good lung days? Who knows whether this good lung day was a result of my allergy shot vacation, or something else entirely. (I've been having an interesting discussion with a blog reader about a chronic condition caused by c. pneumoniae.) Either way, my lung capacity is fairly low most of the time, and that may just be the way it is. It effectively means I'm out of shape, except for my muscles and joints are strong. So I can pedal or walk all day and not become tired, but ask me to pedal or run *relatively* fast, and I'll falter immediately.\nIn the afternoon, Beat and I set out for one last loaded bike test, including the task that is never fun \u2014 firing up the stove when it's snowing and windy and 5 degrees. Tomorrow I will drive out Idaho for the 200-mile Fat Pursuit, a snow bike race that I'm fairly certain I'm not fast enough to finish. For a winter race, its cutoffs are relatively stout. I've been on the course before, so I have a general idea of what conditions might be like, and an discouraging but more realistic understanding of my abilities. I'm not sure why I signed up for the Fat Pursuit or why I'm still clinging to this endurance racing thing ... but here I am.\nThe aspects of endurance racing I've always loved are the mastery of mind over matter, and the beautiful intensity one can experience when challenging the impossible. I suppose that hasn't changed. I remind myself that I can still do my best, still experience all the awe and wonder, and still have a great adventure \u2014 without fixating on the end result. I can muddle around in the snowy woods, listen to ice crystals chime in sub-zero air, take a nap under the stars, walk my bike for a while if I make it all the way to Sunday when 8-12 inches of snow is predicted \u2014 and if that's not enough to finish the race, well, I'll walk my bike to the highway and spin happily back to Island Park. I'm going to do the best I can, as slow as that may be. I'm not going to try to force it, like I did last year \u2014 with disastrous results.\nSo, I'm filled with dread, but excited as well. The Fat Pursuit starts Friday evening and will have live tracking here: http://trackleaders.com/fatpursuit17\nAt times like these, I'm reminded of scenes from the TV show \"Arrested Development.\"",

        "raw_content": "Keats Talk at Keats House\nby ColSilver \u00bb Sun Feb 10, 2013 4:54 pm\nI attended a talk by David Pollard at Keats House in Hampstead on Saturday 9th February, 2013, and thought I would post a brief account for anyone who is interested. There's a small conference room at the back of the house, overlooking the famous Nightingale garden, and that's where the event took place. Here's David Pollard's profile on Amazon:\nhttp://www.amazon.co.uk/David-Pollard/e/B0071IRBNI\nDavid Pollard did his doctoral thesis on \"The Poetry of Keats: Language and Experience\" and this is what he talked about on Saturday. The gist of it as I understood it was that poetry comes from Silence, that is to say, that language is just a sort of mediator, that the true poet finds expression in his inner self and communicates it when he is \"moodless\" - this is akin to Keats' Negative Capability and is expressed very well in the Ode on Indolence. (He read from the Cave of Quietude section in Endymion to emphasise the point.) The true poet's productions are eternal and perfect in a Platonic way, but he emphasised that he did not consider Keats to be a mystic. When Keats wrote about the Grecian Urn, he renounced the urn of his imagination and let it speak for itself. He had a lot to say about other great writers and philosophers, that he thought Milton and Tennyson used language as a tool (unlike Keats who used it as mediation). He said Keats was a great thinker, as are, of course, the very best writers and philosophers. There's no doubt he thinks Keats was unusual and special, both as an intellect and as a person.\nDavid Pollard's interests (and books) are very wide ranging and he pulled a lot of other people and subjects into the talk, especially when answering questions at the end. He talked for about 20 minutes or so and then there was about half an hour of questions, most of them about Keats' Negative Capability, etc. There was a also a question from a young student, and then a brief discussion, about Haydon's love of the Elgin Marbles and his influence upon Keats (the subject of my own book). I'd say there were about 60 people there of all ages and types - some older people, several young people, students, etc., but everybody very keen and interested in Keats.\nIt was a very pleasant day out, and (all being well) I shall be looking forward to more events at Keats House in the future.\nRe: Keats Talk at Keats House\nby Raphael \u00bb Mon Mar 18, 2013 3:22 am\nThanks for that. Lucky you going to that! Not ever been to the House.\nThanks ColSilver for that report. I am extremely envious of your opportunities to go to Keats House. I have never been there - too costly from NY. But I dream of it.",

        "raw_content": "Adding to the craziness of yesterday\u2019s Lunar Eclipse in Leo is the fact that transiting Ceres is part of the equation as she is currently residing at 11 degrees Leo and that degree also coincides with the planetary node of Neptune. Ceres makes us aware of where we are and aren\u2019t nurturing ourselves towards optimum health while Neptune adds a sense of confusion, illusion, delusion and cloudiness. It\u2019s very, very hard to decipher feelings right now. Do not take knee-jerk action or make knee-jerk decisions in response to the actions of others. You do not have a clear head about all the information and perhaps not all the information is readily available. Use the positive side of Neptune toward meditation and spiritual guidance.\nThe Neptune/Ceres element of this eclipse has a great deal to do on an evolutionary level with the sexual abuses of women and children and particularly because the sign is Leo it is bringing out the hidden elements in the entertainment industry coupled. The polar opposite sign is Aquarius where the Solar Eclipse will take place on the 15th of the month and that sign rules politics and politicians. Aquarius likes to clear the air and get a bird\u2019s eye, objective view.\nPluto is triggering his own node as well and on January 9 Venus made her superior conjunction with the Sun alongside Pluto so the lord of the underworld has dragged Demeter, Persephone and Aphrodite down to his home turf in order to face the dark side. Perhaps there is a sexual healing going on personally for you as well as on a collective level. There may be a very important relationship in your life undergoing intense transformation and you\u2019ll have to decide in the coming months whether or not to redefine to insure its continuance or let it go. Either way there is a major shift in love. It\u2019s about healing but that doesn\u2019t necessarily mean staying together. Think deeply, profoundly and seriously about what is occurring on a psychological level.\nSaturday, February 10 \u21d2",

        "raw_content": "Kyrgyz Government recognized the role of NGOs in a UNDP-backed reform of free legal aid\nBISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan \u2013 On November 21, 2014 representatives of civil society, legal experts and other interested parties gathered in Bishkek to discuss the current state of the system of guaranteed legal aid in the Kyrgyz Republic. Participants discussed issues related to legal consultations, role of NGOs in the free legal aid system, joint plans on advancing ideas on expansion legal opportunities of vulnerable demographics and creating a network of NGO to work with the free legal aid system.\nA task force working on the draft law on \u201cState guaranteed legal aid\u201d also participated in the discussion.\n\u201cCurrently Kyrgyzstan is reforming its judicial system and the Government intends to reform the system of free legal aid (FLA) as part of this process. The draft law on state guaranteed legal aid is developed and the contribution of NGOs in this reform will be invaluable\" said Ainura Bekkoenova UNDP Democratic Governance Dimension \u0421hief.\nThe draft law on legal aid guaranteed by the state includes some innovations such as expanding the number of beneficiaries and recognizing the role of NGOs in the system of free legal aid. Until now there were no legislative framework to regulate the relationship between the state and non-governmental structures. This framework will make the national system of free legal aid more efficient.\n\u201cThe main role of NGOs is to help the state to create a vision of how should the system of free legal aid work. We begin this dialogue today, we will continue in the future, and it means that the person who has no documents will not be left unattended\u201d said Nurianna Kartanbaeva, Director of the Legal Program of the \"Soros-Kyrgyzstan\" Foundation.\nSpeaking about issues related to legal aid and consultations, representative of the \u201cFoundation of development rights and business\u201d Damira Bustanova noted that rendering free legal services will provide access to justice for especially vulnerable demographics.\nFree services resolve not only legal problems, but also increase their legal knowledge. According to the Foundation, its experts provided legal assistance in 2, 535 cases from September 12, 2013 to August 30, 2014 in 30 pilot municipalities of Kyrgyzstan. Damira Bustanova noted that almost all of these cases are consequences of low quality of state and municipal services.\nThere are a number of active legal clinics, which provide free legal aid as part of different projects in Kyrgyzstan. Unfortunately, these clinics provide free assistance as long as their projects last and that\u2019s why participants of the round table highlighted the importance of creating a stable system. They also suggested training paralawyers, persons who don't have legal education, but passed basic law courses and can provide free legal aid. This practice is wide-spread around the world.\nLegal expert Ruslan Hakimov presented results of analysis of different models of state legal aid from around the world, which was carried out as part of UNDP\u2019s project on widening access to justice. Ruslan Hakimov looked at experience Armenia, Lithuania, Moldova, Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Netherlands and identified several ways of providing legal aid:\nAssistance is provided directly by staff of state agencies and local governments as part of their professional duties;\nAssistance is provided by government free legal aid offices (centers) at which lawyers and attorneys get paid by the government.\nState agencies delegate these services to attorneys\u2019 community. However, they control funding, monitor quality, participate in selection of lawyers and attorneys.\nThe mixed form at which, legal services are provided by both state agencies and public organizations, and secondary attorneys\u2019 render.\nThe right for the qualified legal aid is among constitutional rights. Part 3 of article 40 of the Kyrgyz Republic Constitution stipulates that everyone has the right to qualified legal aid. In cases indicated in laws, the legal aid is provided by the government for free. However in reality, it is often declarative as the activity of those who provide qualified legal aid remain unregulated, they lack proper funding. There is insufficient attention of the government to this matter in general.\n\u201cWidening access to justice for legal empowerment in the Kyrgyz Republic\u201d project of UNDP and Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Finland.

        "raw_content": "Vanadium & Sodium Levels\nNo economical process exists for removing vanadium from either crude oil or residual fuel. Vanadium is a metal present in all crude oils in an oil-soluble form.\nThe levels found in residual fuels depend mainly on the crude oil source, with those from Venezuela and Mexico having the highest levels. The actual level is also related to the concentrating effect of the refinery processes used in the production of the residual. Most residual fuels have vanadium levels of less than 150 mg/kg. Some fuels however, have a vanadium level greater than 400 mg/kg.\nIn general, fuel when delivered contains a small amount of sodium, typically below 50 mg/kg. The presence of seawater increases this value by approximately 100 mg/kg for each percent of seawater. If not removed in the fuel treatment process, a high level of sodium will give rise to post-combustion deposits in the turbocharger. Although potentially harmful, these can normally be removed by water washing.\nHigh temperature corrosion and fouling can be attributed to vanadium and sodium in the fuel. During combustion, these elements oxidise and form semi-liquid and low melting salts that adhere to exhaust valves and turbochargers. In practice, the extent of hot corrosion and fouling are generally maintained at an acceptable level by employing the correct design and operation of the diesel engine. Temperature control and material selection are the principal means of minimising hot corrosion. It is essential to ensure exhaust valve temperatures are maintained below the temperatures at which liquid sodium and vanadium complexes are formed and for this reason valve face and seat temperatures are usually limited to below 450\u00b0C.\nWhen a fuel is bunkered with a vanadium level greater than that recommended by the engine designer, there is a risk that hot corrosion and fouling may occur. One operational solution is by the use of a fuel additive, and numerous ash-modifying compounds are available. They should be used with care as situations can arise where the effect of the ash-modifier, by incorrect application, can cause further problems in the downstream post-combustion phase.\nDo not run with vanadium levels above specification for extended periods. Watch for a sodium (Na) to vanadium (V) ratio of 1:3, as the lowest melting point corrosive sodium/vanadium/oxide salts are formed. Vanadium, Sodium and Ash will cause fouling in the Turbocharger.\nThe above image shows the effect of hot corrosion on exhaust valves.",

        "raw_content": "Olive tree - Olea europaea L.\nThe olive tree is an ancient cultural and characteristic plant of the Mediterranean, which comes from a Mediterranean wild family, the Olea europaea var sylvestris. The farming of the tree goes back many millennia and probably took place in the Eastern Mediterranean. There are about 300 different olive varieties grown worldwide for the production of table olives and olive oil. These products represent a very important branch of industry in the Mediterranean countries, particularly Spain, Italy and Greece.\nThe olive tree is a very vital tree, makes little demands on the soil and climate and is several hundred years old. It can also be used throughout its entire life. Its trunk is gnarled and frequently twisted. Even when the inner wood of the trunk dies and becomes hollow, it will always grow new branches. The olive tree is about 20m high and develops a wide sweeping, light crown. Its leaves are narrow, grey green on the upper surface, silvery white underneath, growing opposite each other on the branches. After the second year they fall off. The yellowish-white flowers grow like panicles on anxillary short shoots, they blossom in June, and from October to December the olives ripen. There are single-seeded drupes, depending on the variety, green or blue-black, like a small plum; 60 to 65kg of olives could be harvested per tree per year. The olive tree unites early European history with its high symbolic value. So its branches were a sign of peace, even at the early Olympics the victors were adorned with a wreath of olive leaves.\nThe dried leaves and the oil of the fruit are used. The leaves are mostly imported from Spain, olive oil from other European and North African Mediterranean countries.\nOlive leaves contain esterified phenolic secoiridoids, mainly oleuropein, a glycosidically bound ester of elenolic acid with hydroxytyrosol, also free tyrosol and hydroxytyrosol and flavonoids. When drying and processing the olive tree leaves the diacetal oleuropein from the Oleacein is generated by the ring opening. The quantitatively most important fatty acid of olive oil is oleic acid (after saponification of the oil 56-86%).\nOlive tree leaves (Olea folium)\nOlive tree leaves dried extract (Oleae folii extractum siccum)\nExtra virgin olive oil (Olivae oleum virginal)\nRefined olive oil (Olivae oleum raffinatum)\nThe Commission E has awarded the olive tree leaves an unfavourable risk-benefit ratio (negative monograph). In traditional medicine, the olive tree leaves are used against high blood pressure, gout, arteriosclerosis and rheumatism. The oleuropein contained in the leaves and the resulting Oleacein of the drying process are responsible for the blood pressure lowering properties. In animal experiments with olive leaf extract and some iridoids removed from it, confirmed the blood pressure lowering properties, clinical studies however have not been conducted, so the efficacy has as yet not been established. See also \"traditional use\". Olive oil is used pharmaceutically as an extraction agent for the production of oil resins (such as cayenne pepper oleoresin) and in its purified form for the manufacture of parenteral preparations (injections).\nOlive tree leaves have no listing as a traditional medicine (traditional use acc. to \u00a7 109a). Traditionally used to support the cardiovascular function (registration).\nTea infusion: drink 1 cup of olive leaf tea 3 to 4 times a day.\nPour 150ml of boiling water over 2 cups of finely cut leaves and strain after 30 min.\nNo studies have been made on the use of olive tree leaves during pregnancy and breast-feeding. The disease of high blood pressure is not relevant to children and adolescents.\nKommentar zum Europ\u00e4ischen Arzneibuch (Olive tree leaves, no. 1878)",

        "raw_content": "Kilinochchi - destroyed water tower as war memorial\nKilinochchi, a Sri Lankan district capital since 1980, is the northernmost significant town of the Vanni region, which includes all areas of the Northern Province on the mainland except from Jaffna Peninsula (which in fact is an island). The town was established under British colonial rule in 1936 to reduce an overpopulation of the Jaffna Peninsula. The separatist rebel army LTTE occupied Kilinochchi in 1990. The Sri Lankan army regained control in 1996. Kilinochchi fell again into the rebel army\u2019s hand in September 1998. During the final year of the civil war, when Jaffna was under government control, Kilinochchi was the de facto capital of the separatist army LTTE. Before the Sri Lankan army recaptured Kilinochchi in the final stage of the civil war in 2009, the LTTE, when leaving the town, forced large parts of the population to come with them to their last stronghold near Mullativu to serve them as human shields. Using a kins of tactic of scorched earth, the LTTE destroyed the city\u2019s water supply be bombing the water tower, just before fleeing the city on 31st December 2008. As fresh water is a scarce ressource in the Vanni dry zone, this act of terrorism deprived the citizens of drinking water. They had to collect water from the tanks, which increased the risks of waterborne diseases. The central government, with assistance of the government of Japan, built two new water towers and water pipelines in the Kilinochchi area. The fallen water tank was left as a memorial of the destructive forces of war. In 2014, the broken water tower was fenced off and turned into a monument officially.",

        "title": "Grand Valley Lanthorn | Advertisers need to ditch the age-old sexism",
        "raw_content": "Advertisers need to ditch the age-old sexism\nBy Amy McNeel | 4/5/18 3:26am\nRecently, I came across a campaign series by Saint Hoax, a Syrian artist and sociopolitical activist. The campaign, called \u201cMaking America Misogynistic Again,\u201d is a collection of old, sexist advertisements whose original headlines have been replaced by quotes that President Donald Trump has said about women. All of the advertisements are classic examples of the misogynistic advertisements of the 1950s and 1960s, and Trump\u2019s quotes fit them almost immaculately. In one ad for Van Heusen ties, a woman is kneeling down in front of her husband, who is in bed, setting a fully prepared dinner in front of him. Hoax paired this ad with the quote, \u201cMust be a pretty picture, you dropping to your knees,\u201d which Trump said live to a female contestant on Celebrity Apprentice in 2013.\nHoax\u2019s series is incredible and very eye-opening, but what surprised me most is that Trump\u2019s quotes, however disgusting, actually aren\u2019t far off from the original headlines of the advertisements. The ad I mentioned above was released by Van Heusen in 1951 and was originally headlined, \u201cShow her it\u2019s a man\u2019s world.\u201d As I continued my research, I realized that sayings and advertisements like this were not atypical during that time, and many advertisements did indeed represent a power deficit between men and women.\nAnother ad that caught my attention was a 1953 Alcoa Aluminum advertisement for twist-off bottle caps. The advertisement is a picture of a surprised-looking girl holding a bottle with the words, \u201cYou mean a woman can open it?\u201d written across the bottom. Other popular themes of ads during that time were women in the kitchen, women sewing, women being beaten by their husbands and women being looked down upon by their husbands. These advertisements made me feel angry and astonished, and I know that today they would be nowhere near acceptable.\nHowever, these advertisements made me think a lot about present-day marketing. While sexism isn\u2019t as blatant as it was in the 1950s, I believe it is still a marketing strategy used in a lot of advertisements today. This phenomenon is particularly apparent in the old adage \u201csex sells.\u201d Female bodies are regularly sexualized in advertisements; their bodies are there for no other reason than to be ogled.\nAn example of this sexual objectification of women in ads is a 2007 Dolce & Gabbana advertisement where a woman is being restricted by a man, surrounded by three other half-dressed men. This advertisement not only degrades and objectifies women, but it also glorifies sexual abuse. When I look at this advertisement, I do not see marketing for a fashion company: I see an advertisement for sexual assault.\nFurthermore, today\u2019s advertisements often contain some of the same stereotypical conventions of the 1950s. In April 2017, Co-op released an advertisement for its chocolate pi\u00f1ata egg that said, \u201cBe a good egg. Treat your daughter for doing the washing up.\u201d This advertisement exemplifies the outrageous conventions our society is accustomed to seeing; throughout the years, misogynistic advertisements have become normalized.\nToday, many of the underlying messages in advertisements are no worse than those seen in the 1950s and 1960s. While technology, worldviews and equality have evolved, misogynistic advertisements have stayed consistent. It\u2019s disgusting that marketing techniques still utilize the objectification of women. In the past 70 years, we have progressed by leaps and bounds in so many ways, but we still have a long way to go. It\u2019s time that advertising techniques catch up with the equal-power society of today.",

The Boston-based organization was chosen from a total of 549 applicants, during a competitive review process.\nThe Leaders through Education, Action and Hope (LEAH) Project\u2019s mission is to cultivate the power of youth to transform their lives and communities through science, education, and service. LEAH is a science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), college readiness, and workforce development program for low-income Boston Public School (BPS) high school students of color, called LEAH Mentors.\n\u201cWe are thrilled to receive this Cummings Foundation grant to support the mission of the LEAH Project. These funds will allow the LEAH Project to expand our College Readiness Program for our Boston high school students, 85 percent of whom are first generation college students.\u201d Lisa Aslan, LEAH Program Manager.\nThe LEAH Project engages low-income high school students of color from BPS to reach their college, career, and personal goals; creates pathways to college for these students; and addresses the disparity of low-income youth of color in STEM fields. The College Readiness Program will increase the college support and college visits offered by the LEAH Project as well as increase the supports offered to program alumni. By participating in the LEAH Project, LEAH Mentors sustain motivation for academic success, particularly in STEM fields, gain professional experience that increases their employability, and are inspired to pursue goals beyond high school graduation.\nRecent high school graduated, Gaelle, who is heading to Fitchburg State University this fall, commented on her experience with the LEAH Project and college readiness:\nSince my sophomore year of high school, LEAH has offered opportunities for me to participate in workshops on scholarships, college essay writing, and resume building. They provided one-on-one guidance about my financial and academic needs for college. These opportunities were not readily available from my school, but LEAH came to the rescue! Currently I feel confident and relieved knowing that I, a first generation student with parents who scarcely understand English, was able to go through the college application process and choose a school that is right for me. LEAH showed that they truly wanted to help me through the college process and cared for me the whole way.\nThe LEAH Project will leverage the funds from the Cummings Foundation to continue to provide college readiness support to Boston Public high school youth just like Gaelle.\n\"Nonprofit organizations like The LEAH Project at Health Resources in Action are vital to the local communities where our colleagues and clients live and work,\" said Joel Swets, Cummings Foundation's executive director. \"We are delighted to invest in their efforts.\"\nAbout The LEAH Project at Health Resources in Action\nThe Leaders through Education Action and Hope (LEAH) Project is a STEM, college readiness, and workforce development program for Boston Public School (BPS) students. Established in 2005 through the Boston Public Schools (BPS), the LEAH Project has a mission to cultivate the power of youth leaders to transform their lives and communities through science, education, and service. When BPS funding ended in 2013, LEAH moved to its new institutional home at Health Resources in Action (HRiA). HRiA is a national nonprofit organization located in Boston, MA with a mission to help people live healthier lives and build healthy communities through prevention, health promotion, policy and research. Additional information is available at www.leahproject.org and www.hria.org.\nWoburn-based Cummings Foundation, Inc. was established in 1986 by Joyce and Bill Cummings of Winchester. With assets exceeding $1.4 billion, it is one of the largest foundations in New England. The Foundation directly operates its own charitable subsidiaries, including two New Horizons retirement communities, in Marlborough and Woburn. Its largest single commitment to date was $50 million to Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University.

It focuses on the experimental achievements in reducing the speed of light by factors of tens of millions and covers some of the implications of that research. The first section emphasizes the critical role that the speed of light in a vacuum plays in our understanding of our universe. It also outlines the \"natural\" way of slowing light by small amounts by passing it through materials of different refractive indices. Section 3 then details the type of experimental setup used to slow down light \"artificially\" in the laboratory and analyzes the fundamental quantum processes that permit physicists to reduce light's speed to that of a cyclist\u2014and even to stop light altogether and hold it in storage. Next, Section 7 covers methods of converting light into matter and back again. And finally, Section 8 points out various applications, real and potential, of the increasing ability to manipulate light.\nby Lene Hau\nMeasuring and Manipulating the Speed of Light\nA Sound Design for Slowing Light\nMaking an Optical Molasses\nSlowing Light: Lasers Interacting with Cooled Atoms\nImplementing These Ideas in the Laboratory\nConverting Light to Matter and Back: Carrying Around Light Pulses\nPotential Long-Term Applications: Quantum Processing",

        "raw_content": "Comicside\nAttorney makes time to write 'funny books' about super heroes\nThese days, Charles Soule finds himself practicing law less and chronicling the adventures of super-heroes more.\n\u201cI still practice law, in part because it\u2019s a business I built myself \u2013 I\u2019m proud of it, and I like my clients very much,\u201d said Soule.\nThe sole proprietor of the Law Offices of Charles D. Soule in Brooklyn, N.Y., where he also lives, Soule specializes in immigration law, although he\u2019s been trained in business/transactional law.\n\u201cImmigration is an area of law where you can directly influence peoples\u2019 lives \u2013 say through obtaining a marriage-based green card so a couple can be together \u2013 and I enjoy that. Writing is wonderful, too, of course, but law is certainly not drudgery for me,\u201d he explained.\nA Milwaukie native, Soule graduated from the University of Pennsylvania 1996 with his undergraduate degree in Asian/Middle-Eastern studies with a focus on Chinese history/language, as well as a minor in music composition. In 2000, Soule graduated from Columbia University Law School.\n\u201cI lived in Hong Kong for a while before coming to Penn, and while there I started studying Mandarin. I also took a few trips with my family up to the mainland, and a lifelong love of Chinese history and culture was born. I assumed back then I would live most of my life in Asia \u2013 I ended up in New York City instead, (which isn\u2019t) a terrible trade-off,\u201d explained Soule.\nHis first professional work in the comic book medium was the creator-owned \u201cStrongman\u201d for SLG Publishing five years ago. While it wasn\u2019t that successful from a commercial standpoint, it had just enough impact to open a few eyes. This led to Image Comics\u2019 \u201cTwenty-Seven,\u201d something Soule described as \u201cAlien\u201d meets \u201cHouse of Cards\u201d as the President of the United States learns of a hostile alien presence the previous administration covered up. It\u2019s been optioned by the SyFy Channel for a TV series.\n\u201cIt\u2019ll appear when it appears,\u201d said Soule, not sweating it.\nSince then, Soule\u2019s popularity has skyrocketed. He\u2019s written some high profile characters, including DC\u2019s Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Swamp Thing, Green Lantern, and Marvel\u2019s Wolverine.\nIn fact, he\u2019s dramatically changed these characters\u2019 status quos. Not only is he one of the creators instrumental in making Superman and Wonder Woman a couple \u2013 the definitive power couple \u2013 in DC Comics\u2019 \u201cSuperman and Wonder Woman,\u201d he also killed off Wolverine \u2013 one of Marvel\u2019s most popular characters \u2013 in 2014\u2019s blockbuster mini-series \u201cThe Death of Wolverine.\u201d\n\u201cI think it\u2019s important to respect what\u2019s come before, but they\u2019re all just characters. Really great characters, but if you start treating them like icons, you can\u2019t get good stories out of them. Find the ways they\u2019re like people \u2013 not gods \u2013 and that\u2019s when things start to work,\u201d explained Soule.\nMaking Superman and Wonder Woman a couple was a controversial move by DC since long-time fans prefer Superman with Lois Lane (they\u2019re no longer a couple since DC restarted its characters in 2011).\n\u201cThe nice thing is once people started reading the book, all of that died away, which is exactly the reaction you want,\u201d said Soule. \u201cI was thrilled to delve into their relationship in a new way.\u201d\nSoule has been a guest at Comics & More in Madison Heights twice in the past two years. According to owner Chris Brown, he\u2019d like to make Soule\u2019s appearance an annual event.\n\u201cI first read Charles\u2019 work on \u2018Twenty-Seven\u2019 \u2026 Then I saw his name popping up on some other titles, and I always gave those books a shot because I liked his writing. The next thing you know, the guy is writing the only DC titles worth reading; for me, that was \u2018Swamp Thing\u2019 and \u2018Superman and Wonder Woman,\u2019\u201d said Brown. \u201cHere\u2019s a guy who\u2019s a practicing lawyer and still has time to write 8-9 monthly titles.\u201d\nSoule jumped at the chance when Marvel asked him to kill Wolverine.\n\u201cGetting a chance to write a final chapter in the fictional life of a gigantic character like Wolverine doesn\u2019t come around every day,\u201d he said. \u201cI was thrilled to do it.\u201d\nLast year, Soule signed an exclusive contract with Marvel. Recently, he ended a critically-lauded, memorable run on Marvel\u2019s \u201cShe-Hulk.\u201d His take focused more on She-Hulk \u2013 who\u2019s really an attorney named Jennifer Walters, the Hulk\u2019s younger cousin \u2013 fighting bad guys in the courtroom than on the battlefield.\n\u201cI\u2019m the first lawyer to write the title, for better or for worse,\u201d he said. \u201cShe-Hulk\u2019s office happens to be located in the same building in Brooklyn where I have my office. I bring a lot of my legal-world experiences to the book, and I think \u2013 and hope \u2013 it\u2019s stronger for it.\u201d\nHis \u201cShe-Hulk\u201d and \u201cThe Death Wolverine\u201d titles sold well at Green Brain Comics in Dearborn, according to co-owner Dan Merritt.\n\u201cWhile Mr. Soule wrote the best-selling \u2018Death of Wolverine\u2019 mini-series, he really won me over with his too-short-lived \u2018She-Hulk\u2019 series and his creator-owned sci-fi/political action/drama \u2018Letter 44,\u2019\u201d said Merritt.\nCurrently, Soule\u2019s writing Marvel\u2019s \u201cInhuman\u201d and \u201cWolverines\u201d (a spin-off of \u201cThe Death of Wolverine\u201d).\n\u201c(\u2018Inhuman\u2019 is) another book with a rich tapestry that was always sort of second fiddle to the X-Men, and the minute Marvel decides to move them to the top, they tap Charles,\u201d said Brown. \u201cThen they need someone to kill Wolverine, they tap Charles.\u201d\nBeing a lawyer has sharpened Soule\u2019s skills as an author.\n\u201cI can work on a story for a long time \u2013 not stand up until it\u2019s done \u2013 just as I might a legal brief. I like to make sure my books have an internal logic, too, and I think that comes from my legal practice as well,\u201d said Soule. \u201cPlus, I grew up loving to read comics, and it seemed like a pretty plausible extrapolation that I might love making them as well. When I got out of law school, I knew I wanted to keep on with creative work; writing \u2013 which eventually became my current comics work \u2013 seemed like a great way to do that.\u201d\nYou are here: HomeWashtenaw County > Comicside",

        "raw_content": "Henchman Fashion File: The Rocketeer's Rocketeer-Racketeers\nIt's that time again: time to over-analyze the fashion choices that the super-villain on the go is making for his underlings. What fun we shall have!\nThe Villain: This is the guy, and I'm going to call him the Rocketeer (more on that later):\nThe Rocketeer (no relation) had a cunning plan to steal missiles in-flight for... some reason. The issue was actually less about whatever he was scheming as it was about the personal heartbreak of Batman's pal, who hadn't followed his family's tradition and gone into the armed forces and so had to be the best scientist ever in order to have some semblance of self-respect. And the fact that people were going to the trouble of stealing them mid-flight wasn't proof that they were good rockets, either, so don't bring that up in the comments.\nThe Rocketeer (no relation) was also notable for having a much worse costume than his underlings, but again, more on that later.\nThe Henchmen: These guys I'm calling the Rocketeer-Racketeers, because it's on the cover.\nAs far as henchmen go, the Rocketeer-Racketeers have it pretty sweet: they get to fly, they have great costumes... The only problem is that they just aren't all that good at their jobs. Or possibly that they were hired solely for their abilities in the stealing-a-rocket-in-flight field and were never actually tested for Batman-opposing skills. What I'm trying to say is that they are incompetent, to the extent that I don't know if I have any more pictures that feature them not being punched out.\nAttractiveness of Costumes:\nI'm going to come right out and say it: these things are totally awesome. Flared gloves? Goggles? Head and shoulder fins? Hell, even their pistols look like they were stolen from a moon-man. It's only the fact that the whole thing is bright orange that disqualifies this from my list of potential Halloween costumes, and the little rocket on the chest almost outweighs that.\nUtility of Costume:\nAlso surprisingly high, actually. As opposed to some of our earlier examples of henchman couture, the Rocketeer-Racketeers appear to actually be appropriately attired. There are no awkwardly-placed tail-fins just waiting to get stuck in an inconvenient hedge, no giant rocket-shaped helmets to make them top-heavy, and they reliably fly! Well, semi-reliably. Also, I'm concerned about the placement of the jets - I reckon that over the long term the Rocketeer (no relation) is going to be dealing with a lot of lower-back injury related workman's comp claims.\nThere's also the issue of speed. As far as I can tell, these particular rocket packs must fluctuate wildly. After all, they managed to catch at least three rockets in-flight, but later on:\nIt sure does look like they get overtaken by a couple of guys in parachutes. And even if that's not the case, they definitely get out-manouvered by them. Happily for the Rocketeer-Racketeers, though, they regain some of their lost points via this little innovation:\nGiven the amount of time that these fellows spend crashing into the ocean, an amphibious mode is basically the best option that they could have thought to build into their suits. Hell, they kind of out-thought Batman on that one. Good call!\nBudget for Costumes:\nExactly where it should have been, in my opinion. If you're going to go into super-crime then you have to go all the way. If there's one place that they skimped, it was on the surplus Orange fabric that they used to make the things. At least they all have the same colour.\nThe high quality of his henchmen's uniforms, in fact, is likely to be the reason behind the Rocketeer's abysmal fashion choices. Desperate to distinguish himself from the common hench-rabble, he added element after element, little caring that each one took more and more away from the attractiveness of the whole. Especially the writstbands and rocket-fin helmet. Only the rakish moustache was a good idea.\nChance for Bonus Points: Does the Villain Have a Lieutenant with a Marginally Cooler Costume and Possibly a Name?\nKind of? Actually, the Rocketeer 9no relation) himself fills that role, as he's kind of a first among equals. In the context of the story, it's the group that's referred to as the Rocketeers, or the Racketeers, or maybe the Rocketeer-Racketeers. So even though he's clearly the leader, the Rocketeer is also kind of the one henchman with a nicer more elaborate uniform. But no name.\nI just kind of confused myself, so I arbitrarily decide that he gets no bonus points. Still, the final total is a very respectable 11/15. Good job, you orange-clad crash-monkeys.\nEnjoy your victory, Rocketeers!\nbatman, costumes, henchmen, Henchmen fashion file",

        "raw_content": "Super Bowl XLIX Playing Field Ready to Roll\nFor the second time in 7 years, the Super Bowl Field at University of Phoenix Stadium will make the smooth roll from its sunny outdoors spot in the Arizona desert climate to indoors. The playing field, designed by Arizona based Lloyd Civil and Sports Engineering, formerly CMX, is the only fully retractable sporting surface in the Western Hemisphere, and will be a focal point for the global event that is Super Bowl XLIX.\nThis unique engineering solution, accomplished in collaboration with a talented team of designers from several engineering and architectural firms for The NFL Arizona Cardinals and the Arizona Stadium and Tourist Authority, completed the vision to provide both the highest quality natural grass playing field and a true multi-purpose events venue. \u201cThe entire system is performing flawlessly, and the fact that the field is not commonly part of the public conversation, but rather an important \u2018behind the scenes\u2019 component of the overall stadium, is a true compliment. And rightfully so, because the focus should be on the incredible athletes and the intricate coaching strategies that are at the core of the competition.\u201d statedMike Lloyd, founding Principal of the firm and one of the innovators behind the design.\nPrior to game day, the playing field rests outside the stadium, allowing the grass to soak up the sun and leaving space inside for trade shows and other events. This one of a kind solution brings together optimum venue elements---a natural grass playing surface and controlled environmental conditions---where athlete combatants decide the outcome for the ultimate football competition. The NFL Players Association conducts a yearly survey that rates each of the NFL stadium fields. The majority of players consistently prefer to play on a top quality natural grass playing surface, and have ranked the University of Phoenix field at or near the top of the list each year since the stadium opened in 2006. Because the fully enclosed University of Phoenix Stadium will render any wind, rain, snow or ice a non-factor, the two Super Bowl teams will decide the game on Sunday, February 1, 2015.\nThe moveable field system, which moves into the Stadium as a single unit, is 234 feet long by 403 feet wide. A 37-inch deep tray of steel and concrete supports the playing field, which consists of 12 inches of custom-blended sand growing medium, together with sophisticated irrigation, aeration, drainage and electrical control systems. The entire tray system weighs nearly 18 million-pounds, and is powered by 76 one-horsepower electrical motors that drive the one-piece assembly into the stadium atop 13 hardened steel tracks. The steel tracks are securely embedded in reinforced concrete, both outside the stadium and in the floor of the venue itself. Sound simple? In addition to these structural support and mechanical moving systems, playing field design also provided specialized \u201ccoupling\u201d devices so that pipes and control wires can be easily disconnected as the tray begins its brief 57 minute journey into the stadium, where water and power are just as easily reconnected to maintain a healthy stand of grass and support indoor game day operations.\nLloyd Civil and Sports Engineering is a full service civil engineering firm specializing in recreation and athletics facilities, with a unique focus designing and delivering high performance sporting venues. Founding Principal Mike Lloyd resides in the Phoenix area and is available to consider media requests, including on camera interviews, between now and Saturday January 31, 2015.

        "raw_content": "THE FOUR CORNERS IN MADISON\nAs we approach the blinking light in Madison today, it is hard to imagine the history which took place at this well-known intersection. Today\u2019s two homes, a vacant lot and the Post Office building, at the crossing point of Madison County Rt. 83 and U.S. Rt. 20, are a far cry from the activity of the past.\nIn the early settlement of the township, the area which we now know as the Village of Madison was bypassed in favor of two more desirable locations. The first was established at \u201cIndian Opening,\u201d just to the north of Madison Lake. It was a natural opening in the forest frequented by the Oneida tribe for hunting and fishing. The other settled area was at Madison Center, which was on a roadway from the Sangerfield area to Payne\u2019s Settlement. (today\u2019s Hamilton) Both settlements grew and each established a church, as well as a mercantile store and a tavern.\nStretching east from what is now the Village of Madison was a very wet and swampy area. Hillside roads brought our first settlers from New England by ox cart and horseback. Many of these settlers had been soldiers in the Revolutionary War, had seen the rich farming lands to their west, and following the war, brought their families here to start a new life away from their rocky coastal farms.\nIn 1803 the Third Great Western Turnpike was chartered by the State of New York. It was to run from Cherry Valley in the east, through the Township of Madison and on to Manlius. It was immediately nicknamed the \u201cCherry Valley Turnpike.\u201d Work was begun in 1805 and the entire 65 miles was completed by 1811. Traffic along the new roadway attracted businesses to what became the four corners area of a new community \u2013 Madison.\nThe new turnpike, which extended from east to west, along with the north-south road from Payne\u2019s Settlement to the Augusta area, proved to be a profitable intersection. Madison Four Corners, as it was initially named, gained business as the hamlets of Indian Opening and Madison Center lost traffic and trade.\nAs the four corners grew, the name was changed to Madison Village following its incorporation in 1816, and a few years later the name was finally shortened to Madison. We know that James Madison was a popular U.S. figure at the time of the settlement of our area. He was President of the United States at the time of the War of 1812, (1812-1815) which was also called the Second War for American Independence. As a result of our victory over the British in that war, many things were named for him. In our immediate area we have Madison County, the Township of Madison, the Village of Madison, Madison Street in Hamilton and Madison University, the early name for Colgate University.\nBusinesses were established on each of the four corners. On the northwest side was a hotel built in 1807. The hotel is now gone and the property is the site of the home of Mary Bikowsky. The hotel was a favorite spot for travelers to obtain fine food and drink, comfortable lodging and also to receive good care for their animals at the stable next door. Political rallies were held at the hotel and many business deals were finalized on the premises.\nOn the northeast corner John Lucas moved his mercantile store from \u201cThe Opening\u201d to the turnpike. The site is a vacant lot at present. The store later became a hardware store with a tinsmith shop in the rear portion of the building.\nBusinesses were also located on the southeast corner in the home which still stands today. An early barber shop was located here with the owner living in the upstairs portion of the building. Further to the east a harness shop was established.\nLocated on the southwest corner was the heart of the Madison business district. A corner store, mercantile establishments and the early Post Office were built here. The brick structure was built by Gen. Erastus Cleaveland, one of the town\u2019s earliest settlers and a General of Militia at the time of the War of 1812. The corner store and also the next building in the business row burned in a fire in 1986. The new Post Office now occupies the site.\nLet\u2019s recall some unique things which could have been seen or have occurred at the four corners over the years.\nThe village watering trough was located near the middle of the intersection so that animals could get a refreshing drink while passing through.\nA \u201cLiberty Pole\u201d was erected at the southeast corner of the intersection and the flag was prominently displayed on all national holidays.\nA bandstand was erected in front of the hotel and summer band concerts were enjoyed by all.\nHorse races were conducted on the main street from the location which is now Quack\u2019s Diner to the eastern edge of the village.\nParades have been a constant over the years, especially in the centennial year of the village in 1916 and during the years immediately following WW11 when the servicemen and women, happy to have survived the war, proudly marched the American flag through the four corners.\nThings have certainly changed at the four corners area. Even the name Cherry Valley Turnpike was renamed to U.S. Rt. 20. But the memories still linger and the spirit of the community continues.\nAs you enjoy the antique shops in the Village of Madison, take a moment to consider some of the events of the storied past of Madison\u2019s four corners.",

        "raw_content": "Repairs Worth Making Before Selling Your House\nPreparation for a big move requires a lot of work,including repairing your house for the new owner. If you\u2019re moving, you want to make sure that your old home gives its new owner(s) the same feeling that you had when you first started living there (if it was a good feeling), but it can be easy to overlook essentials. The amount of time you\u2019ve lived in the house, as well as how long the house has been standing before you arrived, can affect how much wear and tear you\u2019ll need to take care of.\nIt\u2019s important to make the outside and inside of the house appear and perform as good as new. Here are some things to keep in mind before you turn your house over to its new owner.\nPresentability will determine how many potential buyers your house will attract. If your property comes with a fence, its appearance can affect not only how pleasant the house looks, but how secure the new owner may feel, especially if they\u2019re not familiar with the area. You should repaint or replace any portions of the fence, if you have one, to keep it in good condition. The front and back yards should be full of grass, flowers, and other flora to add color and life to the property. You may need to resurface the driveway or sidewalk if there are any cracks so that they are not an issue in the future.\nThe main exterior element of your home that you\u2019ll need to focus on is the roof. Being able to withstand harsh weather conditions and avoid leaks will determine how safe the roof is able to make its residents feel. The new owner(s) may be able to tell if the roof was ignored if they spot pieces damaged or missing or if moss has been growing.\nOrganizations such as Everdrain provide the services needed to make sure that your roof look clean and prepared for the elements, such as falling trees in a thunderstorm or snow pile-ups in a blizzard.\nCertain rooms in a house serve multiple purposes, acting as a place for meals one day, a source of relaxation another day, and a setting for games the next. Among these rooms is the kitchen, and you need to ensure that everything looks new and functions well. Elements to focus on for repair and replacement include drawers, cupboards, and countertops. You\u2019ll need to see if any hinges and doors need to be fixed, as well as if the surface of the counters and tables should be replaced: marble and granite are popular choices for countertops.\nThe bathroom is another important spot because of the issues that can arise fromconstant use. The functionality of the sink and toilet will affect how likely potential buyers will consider moving in. You\u2019ll need to repair or replace any leaking faucets, especially if they\u2019ve been around for a while. Cleaning or replacing tiles on the floor can help the new residents avoid stepping on a broken piece and cutting their foot. And, of course, new sinks, toilets, and tiles will all add to the aesthetic appeal.\nWhile it is not one of the rooms people will see first or frequently, the basement should be taken care of just as much as the kitchen and bathroom. This spot is just as susceptible to leaks and damage, and the condition of the pipes can affect the rest of the house. Get a hold of a basement waterproofing service to make sure the basement stays dry, which will keep laundry (if the basement houses the washer and dryer) in good condition, as well. The pipes should be replaced if needed so that they don\u2019t lead to any issues for heating throughout the house.\nThere are certain repairs that you can make without the help of a professional, including new paint jobs. Even if your house hasn\u2019t been around as long as others in the neighborhood, a new coat of paint inside or outside will make a visitor feel like they\u2019re in a brand-new home.\nIf you have dated wallpaper, get rid of it, and opt for paint! We recommend choosing light or neutral colors, which are \u201csafe\u201d and also make the rooms seem larger.\nYou might not have to paint every room, either. It\u2019s best to focus on rooms or doors with chipped paint, as well as those with darker colors, to balance out the rest of the house. It\u2019s also important to use sand and/or putty to plug up any nail holes in the walls before you start the paint job.\nIf you\u2019re relatively new to painting, you can watch instruction videos online to get the hang of it; however, professionals are always available in case you want the paint job to look like it was done by an expert.\nEnsure that these repairs are made so that the new owners of your house will be just as excited to move in as you were.\nPrevious postAll About Kitchen chimney\nNext postContaminants and Impurities managed by a Water Filtration System",

The plan calls for the addition of 37,000 sq. ft. to the Doctors Hospital.

The existing hospital \u2013 some 72,000 sq. ft. \u2013 will be renovated after the new construction is complete.\nThe clinical expansion will be accomplished by adding two floors above the existing building, as well as a similar addition above the two-story portion of the 1991 Hospital Building. The new structure will provide the opportunity for surgical services to grow in place and the opportunity to increase total bed capacity from 68 to 84 beds.

Outside of the classroom, Jessie is an impressive athlete, a leader of her class, and a contributing member of the community. She has been on the Winter and Spring Track teams throughout high school and is a fierce competitor on the the Varsity Soccer team each fall. For her senior year, she was chosen by her teammates to be one of the captains of the Varsity Soccer team, which is not only a reflection of her leadership skills but also her passion and tenacity for the sport that she loves, which is contagious with her teammates. Jessie is President of the Student Council Executive Board this year and she has held leadership positions in student council throughout high school. She is also President of the Peer Leaders Club, she has been a member of the Junior Leos community service club throughout high school, and she is a dedicated member of the Millis Chapter of the National Honor Society. She has participated in several community service activities through her membership in these clubs, but she has also sought ways to give back to her community on her own time, including mentoring and working as a spanish tutor for younger students. This year, Jessie is organizing a 5K in town to raise money for research for Frontotemporal Dementia. Jessie exemplifies admirable character and academic accomplishment and she undoubtedly serves as a positive role model for the entire student body.\nKweku Ashiagbor has increased the rigor of his coursework each year and has excelled in a range of College Prep, Honors, and AP classes.

Kweku has worked to influence important decisions for the entire student body as a representative on the Student Council Executive Board throughout high school, and he is currently the Co-President of the Class of 2019 Student Council. Last year, Kweku was one of the students chosen by teachers to be a student representative of the Game Change Program, where he was trained as a mentor in our Violence Prevention program through Northeastern University. Kweku would never miss an opportunity to give back, and he spends a great deal of his spare time volunteering, teaching, and mentoring younger students. He volunteers as a recreational basketball coach, he teaches drum lessons and piano lessons for younger kids, and he leads a youth group for his church, which requires him to lead meetings, organize group outings, and help out with a weekly clothing drive. Every weekday, Kweku works after school as an educational aide in the elementary extended day program. This past spring, Kweku was an easy selection for the Millis Chapter of the National Honor Society given his commitment to academics, his leadership skills, his exemplary character, and his commitment to the community.\nKweku and Jessica embody all of the qualities that make up the NESDEC award. Their accomplishments and contributions deserve special recognition as they have been exceptional students, leaders, and positive role models at Millis High School.",

        "raw_content": "ERs focus on geriatric care: Stop unnecessary hospitalizations\nA relatively new program that uses transitional-care nurses to identify specific health needs of geriatric patients in emergency rooms is cutting their rates of hospitalizations and leading to better medical outcomes.\nAbout one-third of patients older than 65 who visit an emergency room nationwide end up being hospitalized, but this new program can cut that rate, according to a study by researchers from Mount Sinai Health System in New York City; St. Joseph\u2019s Regional Medical Center in Paterson, New Jersey; and Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago.\nThe Geriatric Emergency Department Innovations in Care through Workforce, Informatics and Structural Enhancements, or GEDI WISE, program launched in 2012. At the three hospitals that were part of the study, a patient was 10 percent more likely to be discharged from the hospital when compared with the same type of patient not seen by such a transitional nurse.\nInterventions initiated during an older patient\u2019s arrival in the emergency room have a significant impact on care, said lead investigator Ula Hwang, M.D., associate professor of emergency medicine and of geriatrics and palliative medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.\n\u201cSpecifically trained advanced-practice nurses target older adults through questions and assessments to see if they can face a safe discharge,\u201d Hwang said.\nSpecialized triage\nWhile a patient who has suffered cardiac arrest is not going to be sent home, others who may have come in for a cough or a fall may be. In the past, though, many of these individuals were \u201csocial admissions,\u201d Hwang said, meaning no safe discharge arrangements could be made for the patient, so he or she was hospitalized.\nTransitional-care nurses assess patients for cognitive function, delirium, agitation, functional status, falls risk and caregiver strain. A score-based assessment determines the extent of care that will be delivered in the emergency department, Hwang said.\nNurses ask questions to understand the bigger picture of what\u2019s going on in a patient\u2019s life, Hwang said: What medications are you taking, and do you have other underlying medical conditions? What level of social support do you have at home? Can you care for yourself or do you need help?\nIf discharged, patients will receive follow-up calls, receive counseling from a social worker or sometimes be transferred to a nursing home.\nAhead of a trend?\nPrograms like GEDI WISE are trending nationwide. In 2013, the American College of Emergency Physicians, American Geriatrics Society and Society for Academic Emergency Medicine joined with the Emergency Nurses Association to develop and publish the Geriatric Emergency Department Guidelines. In 2017 the first ACEP Geriatric Emergency Accreditation became available for such ERs.\n\u201cBottom line, the population is aging. Hospitals and health-care systems have to focus on this vulnerable aging population. At a time when the national average for emergency department admissions with older adults is on the rise, programs that can reduce hospitalization risk are crucial,\u201d Hwang said.\nHospitals can be a dangerous place for older adults, Hwang said. Some risks include adverse drug effects, falls, cognitive decline and ulcers. More than 30 percent of older adults develop a hospital-associated disability after an acute admission, and many do not return to their previous functional state.\nNurses are a central part of making programs like this work, Hwang said. \u201cThey play an interdisciplinary role working\u201d with other medical professionals including social workers, pharmacists, doctors, physical therapists and home health aides, she said.",

DiMeglio\nMANCHESTER, Tennessee \u2014 To give you a sense of just how insane Skrillex's Superjam was at Bonnaroo on Saturday night, let's just start with a few of the highlights.\nJanelle Monae tackled Michael Jackson's \"Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' \" and James Brown's \"I Feel Good\"; A$AP Ferg deftly handled Biggie's \"Juicy\"; Cage the Elephant's Matt Shultz flawlessly belted out \"Break On Through,\" backed by the Doors' own Robbie Krieger and Skrillex himself on guitar; and New Orleans rap hero Mystikal tore through three of his most well-known songs, \"Bouncin' Back,\" \"Danger\" and \"Shake Ya Ass.\"\nAnd after all that, the definitive highlight came in the form of a surprise guest: Ms. Lauryn Hill.\nhttps://twitter.com/hilmonstah/status/478086384033730560\nShe had the crowd bouncing and chanting along to \"Lost Ones,\" delivered at rapid-fire speed, before asking, \"Do we have any Fugees fans in the house tonight?\"\n\"Fu-Gee-La\" and \"Ready or Not\" followed, along with Bob Marley & The Wailers' \"Jammin.\" Hill was certainly warmed up: She'd played a commanding solo set just a few hours earlier that included an acoustic rendition of \"Mr. Intentional\" and a hyped-up \"Killing Me Softly,\" complete with singalong. The superjam set was capped off with her Grammy-winning 1998 solo classic \"Doo Wop (That Thing).\"\nhttps://twitter.com/FestivalSnob/status/478086260507283456\nEDM superstar Skrillex kicked off his epic Superjam with crowd-pleasers like Toto's \"Africa\" and Naughty By Nature's \"Hip Hop Hooray.\"\nSpecial guests Warpaint got the crowd moving with Technotronic's \"Pump Up The Jam\" and David Bowie's \"Let's Dance.\"\nAfter his flawless take on the Notorious B.I.G.'s \"Juicy,\" Ferg launched into \"Work\" and \"Shabba,\" ending with \"Wild For the Night,\" Skrillex's hit collabo with fellow A$AP Mob member A$AP Rocky.\nBig Gigantic brought the horns to Damian \"Jr. Gong\" Marley's \"Welcome to Jam Rock\" and his take on his father's \"Get Up, Stand Up.\"\nVisibly stoked with the results of his efforts, Skrillex was feeling the Bonnaroo love. \"Raise your hands if you came with your friends,\" he encouraged. \"And make some noise if you made new friends at Bonnaroo.\"",

        "raw_content": "How Gillian Welch Avoids Getting Screwed\nNeumu's Michael Goldberg writes: When Gillian Welch and her partner, David Rawlings, got the opportunity to walk away from the label they were on, with ownership of the masters to their first two albums, they took it.\nThey could have signed to another established label \u0097 they'd sold some 200,000 copies of those excellent albums, Revival and Hell Among the Yearlings, according to a cover story in the current issue of No Depression \u0097 but they didn't. Instead, they formed their own label, Acony (named after the flower she sang about in \"Acony Bell\") and re-released both previous albums as well as their latest, the wondrous Time (The Revelator).\nWelch is real clear about why they chose to go it on their own. \"There was no one out there that excited me,\" she told No Depression co-editor Grant Alden. \"The first time around, Jerry Moss [co-founder of both A & M Records and Almo Sounds, the label Welch and Rawlings were signed to] excited me. I don't know how else to put it. He's legendary, he's a gentleman, he's personable, he cares about the music. All that stuff. You look at him, is he a label exec? No. He's a record man. He makes records. And I saw no replacement.\"\nWelch may have given up the chance to become a really big star. Without the deep pockets of a major, will she ever be as popular as that other modern country artist, Lucinda Williams, who is currently signed to UMG's new Lost Highway alterna-country label? Yet what Welch has gained could more than make up for that. She is one of the few artists in the history of recorded music who owns her art \u0097 the recordings on her three albums belong to her.\nThis is radical stuff. Elvis didn't own his masters. Nor did the Beatles. Bob Dylan's recordings belong to Sony, while Nirvana's are the property of Vivendi Universal.\nI'm sure Welch and Rawlings feel the freedom that comes from answering to no one. I can only imagine the pressures an artist feels on a major label. Certainly Welch and Williams are very different artists, but it's interesting to see that where Williams' follow-up to a strong album was the disappointing Essence, Welch recorded Time (The Revelator) just the way she wanted at the legendary RCA Studio B in Nashville (where legends including Elvis and the Everly Brothers worked), and produced one of the albums of the year (and an album that takes her art to another level).\n\"This is the kicker to the whole thing,\" Welch told Alden. \"One of the main reasons we started our own label was for the stability. Believe it or not, me starting my own label seemed like a better bet for long-term stability, which is really important to me. I don't have time to every two years be getting into contract negotiations. ... I hate the record business, I just want to make records. So, because I hate the record business, I started my own label. What? I'm supposed to hang around in the majors long enough to get screwed?\"\nThe InsiderOne Daily Report appears weekdays at 9 AM PST, except when it doesn't.",

In due course she headed the mathematics department and also became Deputy Head.\nIn her retirement, Pat is kept very busy as the School's official archivist, cataloguing the vast - and still expanding - number of photographs, drawings and cuttings recording the history of the School over 400 years.

        "raw_content": "OCRL computer use policy\nOCONEE REGIONAL LIBRARY\nCOMPUTER & INTERNET ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY\nApproved by the Oconee Regional Library Board, February 2016\nThe Oconee Regional Library Board of Trustees supports the idea that all members of the community have free and equal access to the entire range of library resources regardless of content, approach, format or amount of detail. These rights extend to all users of the public library.\nThese rights are balanced by 1) the Library\u2019s responsibility to abide by the Children\u2019s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) and Georgia Code (\u00a720\u20105\u20105), which requires public libraries to provide content filtering on public access computers and internet service, and 2) the Library\u2019s desire to support the right and responsibility of parent and legal guardians to monitor their minor children\u2019s access to library materials and services.\nIn using this Service, users understand and accept:\n\u00b7 To use this Service is to do so at their own risk.\n\u00b7 Library computers, internet, and related equipment and services, are neither private nor secure.\n\u00b7 The Library shall have no liability for direct, indirect or consequential damages related to the use of this Service. To the fullest extent permitted, by applicable law, the Library expressly disclaims all guarantees, warranties and conditions of any kind, whether express or implied, regarding this service or any information, services or materials accessed through this service.\n\u00b7 Users shall respect the privacy of other users and shall refrain from attempting to view or read material being used by others, as well as to censor or comment on what others are viewing.\n\u00b7 Users shall make every effort to not disrupt or disturb others next to them or elsewhere in the Library.\n\u00b7 The screens of library computer and personally-owned devices shall always be considered visible by children. Appropriate local, state and federal laws concerning the display of materials harmful to minors will be strictly enforced.\n\u00b7 Misuse of the Library\u2019s computers or internet service will result in the loss of computer privileges, potential loss of library privileges and possible prosecution. Such misuse includes, but is not limited to, using the computer for 1) illegal activities, 2) accessing or transmitting illegal materials, materials which by local community standards would be obscene, or materials harmful to minors; 3) damaging or attempting to damage computer equipment or software; 4) interfering with systems operations, integrity or security; 5) gaining unauthorized access to any computer network or files; 6) sending harassing messages; 7) violating copyright laws and/or software licensing agreements; 8) initiating excessively high volume data transfers, such as those which, in the view of authorized library staff, risk consuming bandwidth to the detriment of other users.\n\u00b7 The Library may cooperate with legal authorities in the investigation of any suspected or alleged crime or civil wrong.\n\u00b7 The Library abides by Georgia Code (\u00a724.9.46) which defines the confidential nature of certain library records.\nRules Governing Access\n\u00b7 Users shall present their PINES library card or valid picture ID to access public computers, except for specially-designated computers, if available at the facility, such as library catalogs and children\u2019s computers. Georgia residents must specifically present their active PINES library card in good standing for access. However, member libraries may create and post local guidelines governing exceptions to this requirement to offer some limited access.\n\u00b7 Users shall sign up in person to use a computer on a \u201cnext available station\u201d basis. Stations may not be \u201creserved\u201d for other persons and will not be held for persons who are not in the immediate vicinity. Telephone reservations will not be taken.\n\u00b7 Computer sessions may be limited to 30 minutes, unless no one is waiting. Member libraries shall create and post local guidelines regarding the maximum amount of time, maximum number of sessions and other factors affecting computer sessions to ensure equitable access based on facility-specific demand and resources.\n\u00b7 Users must end their session and leave the station when asked to do so by Library staff.\n\u00b7 In the interest of providing services to the maximum number of patrons, the number of computer sessions available per day, per user, may be limited by the staff person in charge. At times, users needing computer access for educational or vocational purposes shall have priority over users needing computers for recreational purposes. Such limitations will be dependent on facility-specific demand and computer availability as determined by library staff.\n\u00b7 The staff person in charge may limit the number of people at each computer.\n\u00b7 Prompt payment is required of users who incur charges for printing or other authorized fees.\nThe Library does not review or exercise any control over the content or materials made available over the Internet by third parties. However, in compliance with the Children\u2019s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) and Georgia Code (\u00a720\u20105\u20105), the Library uses filtering/blocking technology on all public access computers and internet service. Under the law, adult patrons (ages 17 and older, as defined by CIPA) can request an unfiltered session on one of the Library\u2019s public access computers for bona fide research or other lawful purpose. Adult patrons can also request that erroneously blocked websites be unblocked by submitting an Improperly Blocked Internet Site Form, which will begin the process. Requesting adults need not explain why they wish to disable the filter or unblock a particular website.\nThe Library may remove, block, filter, or restrict by any other means any materials that, in the Library's sole discretion, may be illegal, may subject the library to liability, or may violate this Acceptable Use Policy.\nAccess by Minors / Responsibility of Parents and Legal Guardians\nThe Library upholds and affirms the right and responsibility of parents and legal guardians to determine what materials, information and services are or are not appropriate for their minor children to view or access. The Library is not responsible for a minor\u2019s selection of library materials or use of the internet and other services. Parents, legal guardians or caregivers are responsible for accompanying their minor children in the use of the Library if they wish to restrict their child\u2019s use of services and collections.\nParents and legal guardians:\n\u00b7 Accept responsibility for the following: 1) the safety and security of minors when using email, chat rooms and other forms of direct electronic communications; 2) unauthorized access, including \u201chacking\u201d and other unlawful activities by minors online; 3) unauthorized disclosure, use and dissemination of personal identification information concerning minors; 4) measures designed to restrict minors\u2019 access to materials \u201charmful to minors\u201d as currently defined by law.\n\u00b7 Accept that the Library cannot restrict minor access to wireless internet service, and therefore, accept responsibility for a minor\u2019s access and use of any wireless device that is not provided by the Library.\n\u00b7 Must sign a Computer Use Registration Form, to be kept on file by the Library, for any minor under the age 15 to use the library computers without a parent present, excluding specifically-designated children\u2019s computers or library catalogs, when available in a facility. Parents/guardians may revoke this written permission by notifying library staff.\n\u00b7 Must notify library staff if they want to restrict their 15 or 16 year old minor\u2019s access to library computers, excluding specifically-designated children\u2019s computers or library catalogs, when available in a facility. Otherwise, 15 or 16 years old minors shall be allowed access without written parental/guardian permission on file.\nFor minors who violate the Library\u2019s computer use policies, the Regional Director or authorized library personnel may choose to contact parents or guardians, if necessary.\nLibrary staff shall make available information resources to help parents/guardians educate themselves and their children about internet safety for minors.\nTermination or Prohibition of Access\nBranch Managers, Department Heads, or in their absence, a designated library employee are authorized to terminate any user\u2019s computer or internet session, or to prohibit a user from subsequent computer sessions for up to two weeks from the date of informing the user of that action, given cause to believe that the user has violated this policy.\nConviction of illegal activities and/or misuse of this Service will result in immediate and permanent loss of computer use privileges. It may result in similar loss of all internet access privileges. For less severe violations, a patron will receive a warning for a first offense; a second offense will result in a temporary loss of privileges to this Service for a period of two weeks; a third offense will result in a loss of privileges to this Service, the length of which shall be determined by the Regional Director, with a minimum period of 3 months, up to a permanent loss of privileges.\nReview of Permanent Record\nIf a patron has been permanently barred from this Service, they may appeal in writing to the Regional Director once every 2 years. The prohibition may be extended or suspended upon decision of the Regional Director.\n\u201cMinor\u201d for purposes of CIPA is a person under 17 years of age pursuant to 47 U.S.C.A 254(h) (7) (D).\n\u201cHarmful to minors\u201d as defined in 47 U.S.C.A 254(h) (7) (G).\n\u201cInappropriate matter\u201d for minors is material that is obscene as defined under Georgia law (O.C.G.A. 16-12-80)\n\u201cChild pornography\u201d is defined under federal and state law (18 U.S.C. 2256; O.C.G.A. 16-12-100)",

Our school is set in the beautiful Hertfordshire countryside just a little way from Hitchin. Our school motto is to \u2018Be all you can be\u2019 and as a school we believe passionately in supporting our children to develop all of their skills - not just academically, but socially and emotionally as well, within the context of an inclusive Christian community. Our ethos is based on faith in action and this means that we are committed to providing the children with a broad and balanced curriculum which provides the very highest standards of teaching and learning both inside and outside of the classroom including sports training, musical events and outdoor learning.\nWe value each child as having individual abilities, gifts and needs and encourage all of our pupils to reach their full potential academically, personally and socially. Our pupils are extremely well behaved, polite and care for each other and their environment and our school is full of happy pupils inspired by the challenges we provide for them.\nWe have an active PTA, known as OSA, (Offley School Association) that meet regularly to arrange events throughout the school year. Their efforts and activities raise several hundreds of pounds that go towards making our school environment a special place.\nOn these web pages you will be able to get to know a little about our friendly school, but the best way to get to know us is to come and see us. Visits to the school are always welcome and Mrs Smith, our office manager will be pleased to organise an appointment for you. We look forward to seeing you soon.",

        "raw_content": "Roblin\u2019s new movie examines anxiety-driven psychological disorders\nLowell, MI - Robert Roblin feels that his new motion picture, In This Place, is important not just from an artistic standpoint \u2013 but from a humanistic angle as well.\nIn This Place, Roblin\u2019s second full-length indie feature film, examines the trials and tribulations of a woman experiencing some very difficult mental health issues. Samantha, the lead character, is a woman in her early 20s who suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder and depression.\n\u201cThe film is significant in that it creates awareness about anxiety-driven psychological disorders and how people experience destructive behaviors,\u201d said Roblin, who lives in Lowell, Mich., a Grand Rapids suburb, and will focus on utilizing local talent and film locations.\n\u201cIn this case, you\u2019re experiencing Samantha\u2019s problems through her own first-person narrative and it\u2019s a powerful presentation. This is a psychological, dramatic, romantic story. The movie observes how she deals with her life and her stress. Samantha lives in constant fear, torment and sadness.\u201d\nAfter years of unrelenting pain, Samantha ventures out one night and runs into something terrifying and unexpected. \u201cWhat happens next shatters her routine and she begins to step into a new life, which is unnerving and exciting,\u201d Roblin said.\nThe script is finished and some of the scenes are shot, but an additional $10,000 is needed for cameras, equipment, sound production, music composition, travel expenses, set design and wardrobe. In order to generate this capital, Roblin has launched an Indiegogo campaign, which can be viewed at www.indiegogo.com/projects/in-this-place\nA movie trailer is available at www.vimeo.com/102897456\nDonations of any amount are welcome. For a pledge of $25, backers can get their names in the film credits. Larger contributions are rewarded with tickets to the film\u2019s opening, DVDs and posters. For a $500 donation, you can receive all of the above and become an extra in the film.\n\u201cI think people will find this motion picture to be engaging and entertaining, but also informative,\u201d Roblin said. \u201cWe\u2019re looking at psychological and behavioral issues from a unique perspective. It\u2019s a really fascinating story.\u201d\nFor additional information, visit www.indiegogo.com/projects/in-this-place or the movie\u2019s Facebook page, www.facebook.com/pages/In-This-Place/1464954870428238?ref=bookmarks\nRoblin can be reached directly at exitmediaproductions@gmail.com\nContact Name: Robert Roblin\nCompany Name: EXIT Media Productions\nEmail Address: exitmediaproductions@gmail.com\nWebsite URL: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/in-this-place",

The book also covers the ethical and legal requirements in setting up a clinical trial due to an increase in governance responsibilities and regulations.\nThis practical guidebook is ideal for busy clinicians and other health professionals who do not have enough time to attend courses or search through extensive textbooks.

In it he discusses the affect an object has and how that dictates our ability to interact with it in different situations. A must-read by anyone interested in design.\nAffect therefore regulates how we solve problems and perform tasks. Negative affect can make it harder to do even easy tasks: positive affect can make it easier to do difficult tasks. [...]\nImagine a plank 10 meters long and 1 meter wide. Place it on the ground. Can you walk on it? Of course - no problem. You can jump up and down, dance, and even walk along with your eyes shut. Now lift the plank 3 meters in the air. Can you walk on it? Yes, although more carefully.\nWhat if the plank were 200 meters in the air? Most of us wouldn't dare go near it, even though the act of walking along it and maintaining balance should be no more difficult than when on the ground. Why would a simple task suddenly become so difficult - impossible, even? Tell yourself all you want that if you can walk on the plank on the ground, you can still walk on it in the air. You still won't walk along it, let alone jump and dance or, heaven forbid, close your eyes while walking. Fear dominates.\nWhy should affect have such an influence?\nGo read the article.

The movie stars Chris Evans (Captain America) who plays a single man raising his child prodigy niece. So in our conversation, I asked Marc about what he learned from researching this movie about how to help a gifted child fulfill their potential without pushing them too far. I also asked Marc how he gets the best performances out of child actors, which can be a very hard thing to do. I know I struggle to get my kids to say please, so I can\u2019t imagine what it would be like to try to get them to say a memorized monologue. I will say, however, that Mckenna Grace, the girl who plays Chris Evans\u2019 niece in the movie, is a very gifted actress. I know she helped make Marc\u2019s job easier.\nAnd finally, I asked Marc about directing Spiderman, because that\u2019s kind of a big deal. According to IMDB, The Amazing Spiderman 2 had a 200 million dollar budget. That\u2019s a lot of responsibility for a director. But Marc did awesome, just like he did this interview.\nBehind the Scenes: When I interviewed Marc, we were both at the Dad 2.0 Conference in San Diego, so there is a little bit more noise in the background than usual. My interview last week with HGTV\u2019s Josh Temple was at the same conference.\nMe and Marc Webb at the Dad 2.0 Conference in San Diego, California.\nGifted movie trailer (in case the video above isn\u2019t loading for you)\nGifted IMDB page\nMarc Webb IMDB page",

Christian Miller\nSiemens headquarters in Munich, Germany. Photo: EPA\nEditor's Note: This reporting is the result of a joint investigation of international bribery by PBS FRONTLINE, ProPublica and the Investigative Reporting Program at UC Berkeley. A documentary will air on FRONTLINE on April 7, 2009 at 9 P.M. ET on PBS. Check back on this website beginning January 2009 for a series of investigative reports and in-depth features on international corruption.\nThis story was published by The New York Times on Sunday, Dec. 21, 2008.\nMUNICH - Reinhard Siekaczek was half asleep in bed when his doorbell rang here early one morning two years ago.\nStill in his pajamas, he peeked out his bedroom window, hurried downstairs and flung open the front door. Standing before him in the cool, crisp dark were six German police officers and a prosecutor. They held a warrant for his arrest.\nAt that moment, Mr. Siekaczek, a stout, graying former accountant for Siemens A.G., the German engineering giant, knew that his secret life had ended.\n\"I know what this is about,\" Mr. Siekaczek told the officers crowded around his door. \"I have been expecting you.\"\nTo understand how Siemens, one of the world's biggest companies, last week ended up paying $1.6 billion in the largest fine for bribery in modern corporate history, it's worth delving into Mr. Siekaczek's unusual journey.\nExcerpts from PBS FRONTLINE interview with Reinhard Siekaczek discussing a culture of bribery at the German conglomerate.\nA former midlevel executive at Siemens, he was one of several people who arranged a torrent of payments that eventually streamed to well-placed officials around the globe, from Vietnam to Venezuela and from Italy to Israel, according to interviews with Mr. Siekaczek and court records in Germany and the United States.\nWhat is striking about Mr. Siekaczek's and prosecutors' accounts of those dealings, which flowed through a web of secret bank accounts and shadowy consultants, is how entrenched corruption had become at a sprawling, sophisticated corporation that externally embraced the nostrums of a transparent global marketplace built on legitimate transactions.\nMr. Siekaczek (pronounced SEE-kah-chek) says that from 2002 to 2006 he oversaw an annual bribery budget of about $40 million to $50 million at Siemens. Company managers and sales staff used the slush fund to cozy up to corrupt government officials worldwide.\nMr. Siekaczek says that from 2002 to 2006 he oversaw an annual bribery budget of about $40 million to $50 million at Siemens.\nThe payments, he says, were vital to maintaining the competitiveness of Siemens overseas, particularly in his subsidiary, which sold telecommunications equipment. \"It was about keeping the business unit alive and not jeopardizing thousands of jobs overnight,\" he said in an interview.\nSiemens is hardly the only corporate giant caught in prosecutors' cross hairs.\nThree decades after Congress passed a law barring American companies from paying bribes to secure foreign business, law enforcement authorities around the world are bearing down on major enterprises like Daimler and Johnson & Johnson, with scores of cases now under investigation. Both companies declined comment, citing continuing investigations.\nAlbert J. Stanley, a legendary figure in the oil patch and the former chief executive of the KBR subsidiary of Halliburton, recently pleaded guilty to charges of paying bribes and skimming millions for himself. More charges are coming in that case, officials say.\nBut the Siemens case is notable for its breadth, the sums of money involved, and the raw organizational zeal with which the company deployed bribes to secure contracts. It is also a model of something that was once extremely rare: cross-border cooperation among law enforcement officials.\nReinhard Siekaczek was interviewed by PBS FRONTLINE in Munich in September 2008.\nGerman prosecutors initially opened the Siemens case in 2005. American authorities became involved in 2006 because the company's shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange.\nIn its settlement last week with the Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission, Siemens pleaded guilty to violating accounting provisions of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which outlaws bribery abroad.\nAlthough court documents are salted throughout with the word \"bribes,\" the Justice Department allowed Siemens to plead to accounting violations because it cooperated with the investigation and because pleading to bribery violations would have barred Siemens from bidding on government contracts in the United States. Siemens doesn't dispute the government's account of its actions.\nMatthew W. Friedrich, the acting chief of the Justice Department's criminal division, called corruption at Siemens \"systematic and widespread.\" Linda C. Thomsen, the S.E.C.'s enforcement director, said it was \"egregious and brazen.\" Joseph Persichini Jr., the director of the F.B.I.'s Washington field office, which led the investigation, called it \"massive, willful and carefully orchestrated.\"\nMr. Siekaczek's telecommunications unit was awash in easy money. It paid $5 million in bribes to win a mobile phone contract in Bangladesh, to the son of the prime minister at the time and other senior officials, according to court documents. Mr. Siekaczek's group also made $12.7 million in payments to senior officials in Nigeria for government contracts.\nIn Argentina, a different Siemens subsidiary paid at least $40 million in bribes to win a $1 billion contract to produce national identity cards. In Israel, the company provided $20 million to senior government officials to build power plants. In Venezuela, it was $16 million for urban rail lines. In China, $14 million for medical equipment. And in Iraq, $1.7 million to Saddam Hussein and his cronies.\nThe bribes left behind angry competitors who were shut out of contracts and local residents in poor countries who, because of rigged deals, paid too much for necessities like roads, power plants and hospitals, prosecutors said.\nBecause government contracting is an opaque process and losers don't typically file formal protests, it's difficult to know the identity of competitors who lost out to Siemens. Companies in the United States have long complained, however, that they face an uneven playing field competing overseas.\nAll told, Siemens will pay more than $2.6 billion to clear its name: $1.6 billion in fines and fees in Germany and the United States and more than $1 billion for internal investigations and reforms.\nBen W. Heineman Jr., a former general counsel at General Electric and a member of the American chapter of Transparency International, a nonprofit group that tracks corruption, says the enforcement of some antibribery conventions still remains scattershot. \"Until you have energetic enforcement by the developed-world nations, you won't get strong antibribery programs or high-integrity corporate culture,\" he said.\nAfghanistan, Haiti, Iraq, Myanmar and Somalia are the five countries where corporate bribery is most common, according to Transparency International. The S.E.C. complaint said Siemens paid its heftiest bribes in China, Russia, Argentina, Israel and Venezuela.\n\"Crimes of official corruption threaten the integrity of the global marketplace and undermine the rule of law in the host countries,\" said Lori Weinstein, the Justice Department prosecutor who oversaw the Siemens case.\nSiemens's general counsel, Peter Y. Solmssen, in an interview outside a marble-lined courtroom in Washington, said the company acknowledged that bribes were at the heart of the case. \"This is the end of a difficult chapter in the company's history,\" he said. \"We're glad to get it behind us.\"\nMr. Siekaczek, who cooperated with German authorities after his arrest in 2006, has already been sentenced in Germany to two years' probation and a $150,000 fine. During a lengthy interview in Munich, a few blocks from the Siemens world headquarters, he provided an insider's account of corruption at the company. The interview was his first with English-language news outlets.\nSiekaczek: Internal Fingerpointing and Blame\n\"I would never have thought I'd go to jail for my company,\" Mr. Siekaczek said. \"Sure, we joked about it, but we thought if our actions ever came to light, we'd all go together and there would be enough people to play a game of cards.\"\nMr. Siekaczek isn't a stereotype of a white-collar villain. There are no Ferraris in his driveway, or villas in Monaco. He dresses in jeans, loafers and leather jackets. With white hair and gold-rimmed glasses, he passes for a kindly grandfather -- albeit one who can discuss the advantages of offshore bank accounts as easily as last night's soccer match.\nSiemens began bribing long before Mr. Siekaczek applied his accounting skills to the task of organizing the payments.\nWorld War II left the company shattered, its factories bombed and its trademark patents confiscated, according to American prosecutors. The company turned to markets in less developed countries to compete, and bribery became a reliable and ubiquitous sales technique.\n\"Bribery was Siemens's business model,\" said Uwe Dolata, the spokesman for the association of federal criminal investigators in Germany.\n\"Siemens had institutionalized corruption.\"\nBefore 1999, bribes were deductible as business expenses under the German tax code, and paying off a foreign official was not a criminal offense.\nBefore 1999, bribes were deductible as business expenses under the German tax code, and paying off a foreign official was not a criminal offense. In such an environment, Siemens officials subscribed to a straightforward rule in pursuing business abroad, according to one former executive. They played by local rules.\nInside Siemens, bribes were referred to as \"NA\" -- a German abbreviation for the phrase \"nutzliche Aufwendungen,\" which means \"useful money.\" Siemens bribed wherever executives felt the money was needed, paying off officials not only in countries known for government corruption, like Nigeria, but also in countries with reputations for transparency, like Norway, according to court records.\nIn February 1999, Germany joined the international convention banning foreign bribery, a pact signed by most of the world's industrial nations. By 2000, authorities in Austria and Switzerland were suspicious of millions of dollars of Siemens payments flowing to offshore bank accounts, according to court records.\nRather than comply with the law, Siemens managers created a \"paper program,\" a toothless internal system that did little to punish wrongdoers, according to court documents.\nMr. Siekaczek's business unit was one of the most egregious offenders. Court documents show that the telecommunications unit paid more than $800 million of the $1.4 billion in illegal payments that Siemens made from 2001 to 2007. Managers in the telecommunications group decided to deal with the possibility of a crackdown by making its bribery procedures more difficult to detect.\nSo, on one winter evening in late 2002, five executives from the telecommunications group met for dinner at a traditional Bavarian restaurant in a Munich suburb. Surrounded by dark wood panels and posters celebrating German engineering, the group discussed how to better disguise its payments, while making sure that employees didn't pocket the money, Mr. Siekaczek said.\n\"It had nothing to do with being law-abiding, because we all knew what we did was unlawful.\" Mr. Siekaczek said. \"What mattered here was that the person put in charge was stable and wouldn't go astray.\"\nTo handle the business side of bribery, the executives turned to Mr. Siekaczek, a man renowned within the company for his personal honesty, his deep company loyalty -- and his experiences in the shadowy world of illegal bribery.\nAlthough Mr. Siekaczek was reluctant to take the job offered that night, he justified it as economic necessity. If Siemens didn't pay bribes, it would lose contracts and its employees might lose their jobs.\n\"We thought we had to do it,\" Mr. Siekaczek said. \"Otherwise, we'd ruin the company.\"\nIndeed, he considers his personal probity a point of honor. He describes himself as \"the man in the middle,\" \"the banker\" or, with tongue in cheek, \"the master of disaster.\" But, he said, he never set up a bribe. Nor did he directly hand over money to a corrupt official.\nGerman prosecutors say they have no evidence that he personally enriched himself, though German documents show that Mr. Siekaczek oversaw the transfer of some $65 million through hard-to-trace offshore bank accounts.\n\"I was not the man responsible for bribery,\" he said. \"I organized the cash.\"\nMr. Siekaczek set things in motion by moving money out of accounts in Austria to Liechtenstein and Switzerland, where bank secrecy laws provided greater cover and anonymity. He said he also reached out to a trustee in Switzerland who set up front companies to conceal money trails from Siemens to offshore bank accounts in Dubai and the British Virgin Islands.\nEach year, Mr. Siekaczek said, managers in his unit set aside a budget of about $40 million to $50 million for the payment of bribes. For Greece alone, Siemens budgeted $10 million to $15 million a year. Bribes were as high as 40 percent of the contract cost in especially corrupt countries. Typically, amounts ranged from 5 percent to 6 percent of a contract's value.\nThe most common method of bribery involved hiring an outside consultant to help \"win\" a contract. This was typically a local resident with ties to ruling leaders. Siemens paid a fee to the consultant, who in turn delivered the cash to the ultimate recipient.\nSiemens has acknowledged having more than 2,700 business consultant agreements, so-called B.C.A.'s, worldwide. Those consultants were at the heart of the bribery scheme, sending millions to government officials.\nMr. Siekaczek was painfully aware that he was acting illegally. To protect evidence that he didn't act alone, he and a colleague began copying documents stored in a basement at Siemens's headquarters in Munich that detailed the payments. He eventually stashed about three dozen folders in a secret hiding spot.\nIn 2004, Siemens executives told him that he had to sign a document stating he had followed the company's compliance rules. Reluctantly, he signed, but he quit soon after. He continued to work for Siemens as a consultant before finally resigning in 2006. As legal pressure mounted, he heard rumors that Siemens was setting him up for a fall.\nThe Siemens scheme began to collapse when investigators in several countries began examining suspicious transactions.\n\"On the inside, I was deeply disappointed. But I told myself that people were going to be surprised when their plan failed,\" Mr. Siekaczek recalled. \"It wasn't going to be possible to make me the only one guilty because dozens of people in the business unit were involved. Nobody was going to believe that one person did this on his own.\"\nThe Siemens scheme began to collapse when investigators in several countries began examining suspicious transactions. Prosecutors in Italy, Liechtenstein and Switzerland sent requests for help to counterparts in Germany, providing lists of suspect Siemens employees.\nGerman officials then decided to act in one simultaneous raid.\nThe police knocked on Mr. Siekaczek's door on the morning of Nov. 15, 2006. Some 200 other officers were also sweeping across Germany, into Siemens's headquarters in Munich and the homes of several executives.\nIn addition to Mr. Siekaczek's detailed payment records, investigators secured five terabytes of data from Siemens's offices -- a mother lode of information equivalent to five million books. Mr. Siekaczek turned out to be one of the biggest prizes. After calling his lawyer, he immediately announced that he would cooperate.\nOfficials in the United States began investigating the case shortly after the raids became public. Knowing that it faced steep fines unless it cooperated, Siemens hired an American law firm, Debevoise & Plimpton, to conduct an internal investigation and to work with federal investigators.\nAs German and American investigators worked together to develop leads, Debevoise and its partners dedicated more than 300 lawyers, forensic analysts and staff members to untangle thousands of payments across the globe, according to the court records. American investigators and the Debevoise lawyers conducted more than 1,700 interviews in 34 countries. They collected more than 100 million documents, creating special facilities in China and Germany to house records from that single investigation. Debevoise and an outside auditor racked up 1.5 million billable hours, according to court documents. Siemens has said that the internal inquiry and related restructurings have cost it more than $1 billion.\nSiemens worked hard to purge the company of some senior managers and to reform company policies... Klaus Kleinfeld, the company's C.E.O., resigned in April 2007.\nSiemens officials \"made it crystal clear that they wanted us to get to the bottom of this and follow it wherever the evidence led,\" said Bruce E. Yannett, a Debevoise partner.\nAt the same time, Siemens worked hard to purge the company of some senior managers and to reform company policies. Several senior managers have been arrested. Klaus Kleinfeld, the company's C.E.O., resigned in April 2007. He has denied wrongdoing and is now head of Alcoa, the aluminum giant. Alcoa said that the company fully supports Mr. Kleinfeld and declined to comment further.\nLast year, Siemens said in S.E.C. filings that it had discovered evidence that former officials had misappropriated funds and abused their authority. In August, Siemens said it seeks to recover monetary damages from 11 former board members for activities related to the bribery scheme. Negotiations on that matter are continuing.\nEarlier this year, Siemens's current chief executive, Peter Loscher, vowed to make Siemens \"state of the art\" in anticorruption measures.\n\"Operational excellence and ethical behavior are not a contradiction of terms,\" the company said in a statement. \"We must get the best business -- and the clean business.\"\nSiemens still faces legal uncertainties. The Justice Department and German officials said that investigations were continuing and that current and former company officials might face prosecution.\nLegal experts say Siemens is the latest in a string of high-profile cases that are changing attitudes about corruption. Still, they said, much work remains.\n\"I am not saying the fight against bribing foreign public officials is a fight full of roses and victories,\" said Nicola Bonucci, the director of legal affairs for the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, which is based in Paris and monitors the global economy. \"But I am convinced that it is something more and more people are taking seriously.\"\nSiekaczek: On the Future for Siemens\nFor his part, Mr. Siekaczek is uncertain about the impact of the Siemens case. After all, he said, bribery and corruption are still widespread.\n\"People will only say about Siemens that they were unlucky and that they broke the 11th Commandment,\" he said. \"The 11th Commandment is: 'Dont get caught.'\"\nSiri Schubert is a reporter with the Investigative Reporting Program at UC Berkeley. Schubert has been published in Fortune International, Business 2.0, The Wall Street Journal Europe and Scientific American Mind. T. Christian Miller is a senior reporter with ProPublica, an investigative media project. He reported for The Los Angeles Times from 1997 until 2008.\nThis article is a joint report by ProPublica, PBS FRONTLINE and The New York Times.\nSiemens was very wrong to try to have one man take the fall, that was very cruel.\nOf course their former CEO Klaus Kleinfeld knew about this, and he has walked away scott-free to the CEO job at Alcoa. What was Alcoa thinking when they hired him?\nFrom the Opium war in China, to ensalaving people to modern day torture flights, things which people in the Western world would never accept for themselves, think they are just fine for others. How funny that bribery was tax deductible until 1999 and still now companies are not harshly punished, just given opportunity to fix their act? Corrupt people still get their money saved in Western banks. How about western ambassadors which twist arms of locals for companies from their countries? This is not just a theft of resources, but people get to suffer in developing world with polluted waters, such high bills that people are doing suicides. There are insurgencies going on because big corporations take out most of the benefits from local resources.Imagine if people from developing world are bribing officials in developed world, hurting economies, causing sufferage and death, what will be world's reaction (isn't that response called War on Terrorism)?\nWhy give to \"corrupt\" industries when we can TAX MMJ and see how the monies are used by our own communities?\nmakesmartchoices.org",

        "raw_content": "DECEMBER 2019 RELEASE: Fokker E.II, flown by Kurt von Crailsheim, FFA 53, Monthois, France, October 1915, 1:48th. Scale. Few aeroplanes have had such a dramatic impact on the history of aerial warfare as the Fokker Eindecker series of monoplanes, aircraft which are regarded as the first true fighter aircraft in the history of aviation. It was not that these single-wing aircraft were such advanced aeronautical designs, as many of the world\u2019s successful early aircraft were monoplanes (such as the Bleriot XI which crossed the English Channel in 1909), however, they did make use of a particularly sinister innovation. The introduction of interrupter gear synchronised the aircraft\u2019s machine-gun to fire through the arc of the propeller, only allowing it to operate once the blade was clear and crucially, in the pilot\u2019s direct line of sight. For the first time, an aeroplane had been specifically introduced to hunt and destroy other aircraft \u2013 the day of the fighter aeroplane had arrived. Despite having a dramatic impact on the Western Front, the Eindecker was still a relatively primitive aircraft and required an immense amount of skill in order to be flown well. This was illustrated by eager young Luftstreitkr\u00e4fte pilot Baron Kurt von Crailsheim, who on being posted to FFA 53 in the summer of 1915, had his and the unit\u2019s first aerial victory by 22nd September. Just a few days later, he crashed the twitchy Eindecker whilst attempting a landing at Monthois airfield, which resulted in his fighter being written off. He later received a new replacement aircraft, which he once again painted in his personal colours, but was to be the machine which claimed his life. Suffering a similar landing accident on 30th December 1915, his injuries would prove so severe that he died in hospital five days later.",

        "raw_content": "HOW TO REPLACE OR FIT BASIN TAPS \u2013 LEVER TAPS \u2013 Plumbing Tips\nThis video will show you how to fit, replace or install new basin lever taps on your basin. This will also work for normal taps. We show you how to remove the old taps and with great close ups show you how to fit the new lever taps.\nWelcome to today\u2019s echoey, yet again, plumberparts.co.uk video. Today is a very easy video. We\u2019re going to show you quickly how to change over these two taps here, that have slightly become more and more difficult to turn off and they look a little bit old and tired. We can change them over for a nice new set of lever taps. So I hope you enjoy today\u2019s video. I hope you subscribe, most importantly of all and I hope you also follow us on our Twitter and Facebook. For now, let\u2019s get on with this job. I\u2019m going to show you how it\u2019s done. Hold tight!\nSo the first thing you\u2019ll need to do is actually turn the water off to the taps, so we can actually do any work to them. What I often do is I\u2019ll just turn each tap on slightly, so just a tiny little bit of water is coming out and then when it comes to turning them off in a minute, we\u2019ll know that we\u2019ve actually successfully turned off the right water supply. Luckily here, there\u2019s two isolation valves underneath this sink, so what I\u2019m going to need is a little slotted screwdriver to turn that off and that should make sure that that\u2019s all done. Once you\u2019ve got that done, we\u2019re probably going to need to use this piece of equipment here. I call it the claw. You can also use a set of adjustable spanners or a pair of grips. Basically, what we need to do is slack them off the pipe that feeds to the bottom of the tap. Using one of these claws, you\u2019ll find they go around both ways. They can either tighten up or loosen off. Also if you\u2019ve got one like mine, you\u2019ll find out that it\u2019s also telescopic as well, so you can reach under there. Next, you can either use your tool, either the claw or the adjustable spanner, to undo the base of the bottom of the tap. And then, after that, you can either use your claw or your spanner again, or you can even use one of these, which is a tube spanner. It has two sizes. A large one for maybe bath taps or a smaller one for basic taps like the one we\u2019re working on today. What you do, you use that to undo the plastic or brass part that actually hold the tap in place. As soon as you\u2019ve undone that, you should be able to remove the old tap. So there you go.\nI\u2019ve got the old tap out of the way. I\u2019ll do this other tap in a minute, but we\u2019re just going to show you how to do this one tap for now because basically it\u2019s exactly the same for each tap. The next thing we do here is prepare our new tap to go in. The first thing is, I usually just give the old seating area, where the old tap was sitting, a nice little rub around. Just get that cleaned off. Hopefully, I\u2019ve made this new one look a little bit better. Then we just remove the nut off the new one, a new plastic nut. As you can see, I\u2019ve got an assorted rubber washer here. That will stay on this side. We\u2019re just going to pop that on there. Then I\u2019m just going to go and hold the tap roughly in place where I want it, get my hand underneath, and just start turning it just like that. You might need help doing this, it depends if you can see underneath the sink very well. Obviously, I\u2019ve done this about a million, squ-illion times, so I\u2019m good at it. Then I\u2019m going to go back under there with my tap spanner. The great thing about having the right tools, I can hole this in place and tighten this down exactly where I want it. Now all I need to do is reattach the cold water feed pipe. Sometimes you\u2019ll find that it\u2019s a really really old bit of pipe. You might even need to replace the actual bit that connects to the bottom of the tap or remove the old fibre washer and put a nice little rubber o-ring washer on there. Or if you\u2019re willing to risk it, you can use a little bit of PTFE tape to try and seal it. We\u2019ve all been there when we can\u2019t be bothered to go back down to the van. I\u2019m just going to change over the other tap now and then hopefully everything should be absolutely brilliant. I\u2019ll turn the water on, check for leaks, and then give it a bit of a clean up. Once again, they\u2019re both done. I just going to turn this water back on now. There we go, that\u2019s that one. That\u2019s the hot water. We should be able to switch that on. Let the air out. There we go. All done! There we go. We\u2019ve gone from the old manky taps to the nice, new quarter turn lever taps. How beautiful they look. I\u2019ll think you\u2019ll agree how easy it was to do this well.",

        "raw_content": "Below we present text about the wooden churches in the Polish Carpathians written and illustrated by Marek Angiel.\nWooden churches are very remarkable structures. Full of charm, they attract with their mystery and simple beauty, but most of all they are the temples approaching man to God. Polish Carpathian wooden churches \u2013 Catholic and Greek Catholic ones \u2013 can be seen in rural areas. They are typical and leading element of the cultural landscape of an existing or non-existing villages in the mountain areas or foothills. Lumps of these small temples perfectly and naturally fit in with the surroundings, creating unity with the natural elements of the landscape.\nThe decisive factor is the size of the solid temples, proportions of the building and the roof, material used for the construction, towers, turrets, helmets, subtlety of details and the color of the building.\nIn the area of \u200b\u200bPolish Carpathians there are over 270 wooden temples, which were built as Catholic or Protestant churches, and more than 160 wooden churches built by the Greek Catholics. The existence of such a large number of active wooden sacral buildings in the area of \u200b\u200bPolish Carpathians is unique in the world! The condition of these temples is mostly good, the facilities are being renovated, and the most valuable ones are protected by conservation. Almost all wooden churches are currently active temples, which serve for masses and other religious ceremonies. Their age and historical or artistic values are different but what unites them is that they are made of wood.\nRzeped\u017a, Beskid Niski (2009)\nWooden churches can be found in all parts of the Polish Carpathian Mountains \u2013 in the Tatra Mountains, the Beskids and Carpathian Foothills. The oldest wooden Roman Catholic churches in the region come from the 15th century. For centuries the appearance of wooden churches was changing, various types of buildings were erected, and older buildings were rebuilt. Temples originating in 15th, 16th and 17th centuries present characteristics of the Gothic or the Late Gothic style, churches from 18th century refer to the Baroque, and the buildings of the 19th and 20th centuries refer to the Gothic style, or have the characteristics of modern architecture.\nBinczarowa, Beskid Niski (2010)\nOlder temples have mostly one nave, with a narrower, polygonal or \u2013 less frequently \u2013 rectangular presbytery. Churches are built mostly in a framework way, their towers usually have a skeleton (columnar) structure. The walls of churches and towers are covered with shingles or formwork boards. For wooden Gothic churches in the area of \u200b\u200bPolish Carpathians, the most characteristic is the roof structure \u2013 churches are covered with slender, one ridge roof covered with shingle or sheet metal.\nOrthodox wooden building in the area of \u200b\u200bPolish Carpathians is varied. It appears in the\nareas inhabited (until 1947) by the population consisting in the majority or a large part of the Ruthenian: Bieszczady Sanocko-Turcza\u0144skie, Pog\u00f3rze Przemyskie, Beskid Niski (Low Beskid) and Beskid S\u0105decki. The oldest wooden Greek Catholic churches come from the end of the 16th century and represent an archaic type of the Ruthenian Greek Catholic church. Most of the church dates from the 19th century, but many of those objects originate in the 18th century. The largest and most diverse group includes Lemko churches in the area of \u200b\u200bthe Beskid Niski Mountains and Beskid S\u0105decki which, due to the characteristics of the structure and location of the region, are divided into distinctive and unique types. The most numerous types are represented by the western Lemko population churches. In the photo: Koma\u0144cza, Beskid Niski.\nThe vast majority of wooden churches in the Polish Carpathians is a tripartite structures consisting of three basic premises: the chancel (sanctuary) \u2013 the place for the priest; the nave \u2013 a place for believers (formerly only for men); and the women\u2019s gallery. Many churches have towers that are constructed on the ground or on the framework of a women\u2019s gallery. Greek Catholic churches are timbered buildings with columnar towers. Buildings are covered with a roof of varied structure. In the case of the western Lemko church each part has a separate tent roof covering or tent broken covering. Roofs are crowned with helmets in the shape of flattened sphere or onions, decorated on the top with ornate cross.\nThe walls and towers of the church are covered with shingles or formwork boards, and the roofs are covered with shingles or sheet metal.\nChyrowa, Beskid Niski, Greek Catholic church (2009)\nAmong the Polish Carpathians churches \u2013 Catholic and Greek Catholic ones \u2013 a lot is unique. In 2003 six wooden churches from Binarowa, Blizne, Debno Podhala\u0144skie, Hacz\u00f3w, Lipnica Murowana and S\u0119kowa had been listed together (as a complex of building) on the UNESCO World Heritage List. In 2013 sixteen wooden churches from the Carpathian region of Poland and Ukraine were added. Eight of the most valuable churches according to UNESCO are located in the following villages: Radu\u017c, Chotyniec, Smolnik, Turza\u0144sk, Powro\u017anik, Owczary, Kwiato\u0144 and Brunary Wy\u017cne.\nBrunary Wy\u017cne, Beskid Niski\nThe pictures of wooden sacred objects presented in this article and in the gallery come from numerous expeditions of the photographer Marek Angiel to the Polish Carpathians in the years 2002-2011. They represent churches of the Carpathian part of the provinces of the Little Poland (Malopolska) and Podkarpackie.\nMarek Angiel\nGallery: New: Wooden temples\nMarek Angiel \u2013 geographer, traveler, explorer, actively cultivating his profession; born\nin Gda\u0144sk, Varsovian of choice.

        "raw_content": "'One thing have I asked of YHVH, that will I seek, to inquire: that I may dwell in the House of YHVH -in His Presence all the days of my life, to behold and gaze upon the beauty of YHVH and to meditate and inquire in His TEMPLE.' \u2013 Psalm 27:4\nThe Precepts of YHVH are right, rejoicing the heart;\nThe Commandment of YHVH is pure and bright,\nIt is about Jesus Christ, the Messiah of Israel and Savior of the Human Race. This site is about investigating and revealing the divine patterns of YHVHs Glory. It is about discerning possible Biblical prophecy in phi ratio of time, patterns, heavenly signs and codes. Although I have posted over 300 articles, I am not a Writer. Although I have published 15 books, I am not an Author. Although I have gone on missions to over 20 nations, I am not an Evangelist. As I study prophecy and posted over 700 charts, I am not a Prophet. Although I help annotate 100s of Bible Codes, I am not a Codesearcher. Although I perform skits and mimes, I am not an Actor. Even though I create graphics and artwork, I am not an Artist. Although I prefer not to share my personal studies publically, I post at the bequest of others.\nThe following research, all inclusive has been posted publically since around 2007-08 when I first started working at Sonoma State University. The research is really my personal devotional studies that I have only shared with close family and friends. I was entreated to post them publically for the sake of the Body. Although I reluctantly agreed, my University Staff Profile was later on censored and taken down. Since around 2010, I have been posting my research on 5 Doves mainly and the then Rapture In The Air Now Rapture forums (No longer available) until I acquired a personal website, PostScripts.\nThe Bible declares that YHVH is the Great Mathematician and Builder. The Creator is the Great Architect of the Universe. The Bible further reveals that Jesus Christ, GOD the SON is the Creator. In Colossians it is said of Him, Jesus that all that is seen and not has been created by Him and for Him. He is the Master Builder, Jesus Christ is currently building His Bride as Eve was constructed from the material of Adam.\nWith these 2 instruments, the square and the compass perhaps Jesus fashioned the Universe. The site's logo is used after that fashion and has a multilevel meaning behind it. Many have inquired about the Square and Compass symbol on the charts. The following is an explanation as to the constructs of the design and meaning behind it. As most if not all graphic artists, designers, and/or painters of the like have a signature mark on their work, so too is the case for the eschatological charts.\nThe monogram is basically my 'signature' on my work. The Square is used by Builders to construct and fashion structures that are level and measured. The Compass is used to determine radius and arcs of degrees. The logo has the Compass erected at a 90 degree angle with the center Compass spanning 32 degrees. It is believed based on astronomical patterns that Jesus Christ was 33 years of age at the time of the crucifixion and resurrection in the year 32 AD if in fact His birth was on September 11, -3 BC. The Square is a 90 degree angle also. The 2 instruments of Creator are also fused to construe a phi ratio proportion in its composition\nThe 1st meaning is that it is an upside down Masonic compass and square. As the Luciferians and Masons mimic the GOD of the Bible\u2019s symbols, letters and numbers for their evil purposes and so called 'hidden' knowledge, the same principle is initiated to reverse their curses that their symbols and number are designed to perform. The 2nd meaning is that it is actually a monogram of my last name VEGA. If you notice carefully the following.\nV-the Compass\ne- a number 6 as an 'eye' or swirl of the Compass knob - also inverted all seeing pyramid\nG-another of the '6s' that make an 'eye'\nA- the Square\ni see u too\nThe G and the e is the '66 for the year I was born. It can be also a 69 and a 96 mirrored combination. The 6 or 'eye' that is within the swivel denotes the 'All Seeing Eye' that is at the apex or pyramidion of the truncated pyramid. In this case it is inverted. The 3rd meaning is that when the monogram is rotated 90 degrees on its vertical axis with my last name going with the horizontal axis, the e and G within the monogram graphic become 'eyes' looking back at the observer. Thus the slogan of \u2018I see u too\u2019 is stated.\nPost means after the fact or what follows. Scripts means a writing as in a letter. The letters 'PS' are used to make additional remarks once a letter or document is written, as in the 'Letters of the Bible'. The website is called Post-Scripts signifying a series of letters or articles that are a commentary on Bible themed topics. \u2018A postscript (P.S.) is an afterthought, thought of occurring after the letter has been written and signed. The term comes from the Latin Post Scriptum, an expression meaning written after which may be interpreted in the sense of that which comes after the writing\u2019. In this case after the Old and New Testament. The 27 in the alternative logo is in reference to Psalm 27 which is my life verse. The site is dedicated to the presenting the research on eschatology, the study of the end or Last Days. It is also intended to reveal and expose the so called 'deep secrets' of the enemies of the Cross of Jesus Christ.\nLucifer seeks to be \u2018GOD\u2019 and as YHVH is a Builder with a plan and Great Work, so too has Lucifer sought to mimic the traits of the Creator by initiating a call for a false creation and plan of redemption to transform humanity into his image. Thus in his Synagogues of Satan, he uses the Square and the Compass as his logo to ascribe divinity to himself. He uses so called secrets orders of the crafts to initiate his 'Builders' into his \u2018secret knowledge\u2019. Lucifer\u2019s ultimate plan and purpose is to present an alternate salvation and redemption for Humanity and be worshiped as GOD in Heaven in place of YHVH.\nAccording to the Bible, YHVH reveals His mysteries and secretes to those that ask and seek His Face in holiness and sincerity of heart like the Prophet Daniel, Joseph and the Apostle John, among many others. YHVH knows all, sees all and nothing is hid from His Presence. Eventually, all that is done in secret will be revealed from the house-tops. For this very reason, GOD sent GOD the SON to reveal the heart and purpose of the Creator. And currently Christ\u2019s Great Work is the Great Commission given during this special time in Human history called the Church Age for His Ambassadors to speak the Gospel and prepare for the Harvest of Souls at the Resurrection and Rapture of the Bride of Christ and the World for Judgment Day.",

        "raw_content": "Home > Commercial Lending > Types of Commercial Real Estate Loans\nCommercial real estate loans are utilized to purchase business property to operate and buy commercial properties for generating income. How the real estate is used determines the right kind of commercial mortgage for you. Land and construction loans are the common loans taken in real estate. Commercial real estate loans could be as short as few months or as long as 30 years.\nCommonly, office complexes, hotels, apartments, retail centers along with acquisition, development and the construction of the mentioned properties are completed through commercial real estate loans. Similar to residential loans, independent lenders and banks are actively in making commercial property loans. Pension funds, insurance companies and private investors also make commercial real estate loans. The incentives for lenders for making commercial real estate loans are they attract wealthy tenants and sometimes are able to make quite a handsome revenue amount.\nThough the risk involved in commercial real estate loans is high, the incentives of making money are higher. Being informed about the different loan options and how they can actually help both commercial building owners and real estate professionals in making better decision after understanding the various numerous financing options available to them in times of need.\nTypes of Commercial Real Estate Loans:\nListed below are the types of commercial property loans:\nBridge Loan:\nIn bridge loan, the borrower gets instant cash flow to be able to finance the immediate needs and requirements of a project. Bridge loans have a term period of one year or so and are temporary. Bridge loans are usually obtained when the borrower is actually waiting for the long-term financing to come through. Private lenders usually offer bridge loans. For a bridge loan, the borrower needs to have excellent credit score and a proof of income. Furthermore, a borrower has to show that they have sufficient cash to cover the existing expenses of the property and the new loan.\nReal Estate Purchase Loan:\nSimilar to adjustable rate and fixed rate commercial mortgages; real estate purchase loans have certain requirements. In order to qualify for real estate purchase loan the borrowers must have an impressive credit score of 700 or higher. Borrowers are also required to have substantial savings in personal and business bank accounts. The commercial property has to be used by the lenders as collateral and the rate of the loan is determined by following the loan-to-value ratio.\nThe owner has to list the commercial property as collateral to qualify for hard money loan even if the loan is taken for the purpose to save it. Private lenders commonly offer hard money loan as they are not obligated to meet the same standards followed by the mainstream commercial lenders. Therefore, there is a higher risk of default and a high interest rate.\nHard money loans are temporary and are only offered when time is of critical importance like a foreclosure proceeding.\nJoint Venture Loan:\nWhen the partners of a property share the profits and losses of a property equally, a joint venture loan tends to be the appropriate option of commercial real estate loan. If neither of the party is able to gain advantage, this type of loan can be beneficial. Investment firms and private investors offer joint venture loans usually. Normally two of the partners of a group apply for the financing.\nThe relationship between the loan applicants does not have to be official or extend beyond the financed property unlike real estate partnership.\nParticipating Mortgage:\nThe lender in participating mortgage, is allowed to share in part of the profit acquired produced by commercial property. A monthly mortgage payment is received by the lender with interest along with a share in the rental income of the property or the sales proceeds.\nAmong commercial property loans and property development finance, participating mortgage is popular for retail and office properties as the financial stable tenants sign long-term leases.\nRequirements of Commercial Real Estate Loans:\nCommercial real estate loans are made to business against owned real estate. There are land and construction loans as well as property development finance. Commercial property loans tend to have more severe criteria compared to residential loans due to having a direct impact on the economy and financial status of company.\nA commercial borrower has to meet all the below mentioned requirements to receive a loan:\nDocumented Property Value:\nThe commercial property that is being offered as a collateral/ security has to pledge to lender in exchange for loan and its value must be worth the amount of mortgage that has been requested. A loan-to-debt is the commonly used ratio for determining whether property is acceptable. The mortgage amount is divided by the recent appraisal and net income of borrower or a licensed professional determines the market value. The resulting outcome has to be 75% of commercial loan.\nProperty Cash Flow:\nThe cash flow of the business is compared with the debt carried by the business by underwriters of commercial real estate loans. A steady source of net income that has to be 20% higher than the carried debt is generally looked for by the lenders. Detailed statements showing the budget aspects, expenses and income of the business and the borrower\u2019s experience of running the company have to be provided to the lender. The lender may request evidences of both assets and savings can be converted into cash as proof of borrower for paying the mortgage for specified time period in case of a massive financial setback.\nGuarantor\u2019s Assets &Income:\nSometimes the assets, income and credit of guarantor of the commercial real estate loan are utilized in the process. The owner is usually the guarantor of the business and guarantees that the loan shall be paid if business default. Lender may require business\u2019s guarantor for mortgage receiving. The assets and income of guarantor have to be documented along with this credit score and history so that the lender\u2019s requirements can be met in order to further proceed with the commercial loan.\nPlease visit this for more info on Commercial Lending Types.\nUnderstanding Commercial Lending TypesCorporate Loan Types Explained",

        "raw_content": "\"From Broomsticks to Battlefields\" Tells of PTSD, Traumatic Brain Injury in the Civil War Biography of a Vicksburg and Corinth Veteran\nIn From Broomsticks to Battlefields, Author Bill Speer has used Henry Clay Robinett\u2019s life to shed light upon several aspects of the American experience and society in the mid-nineteenth century that have not yet been fully explored.\nFrom Broomsticks to Battlefields gives us a little more insight into the extent to which the horrors of war affect the personality.\nHenry Clay Robinett, a graduate of Delaware Military College, distinguished himself with valor during two Civil War battles \u2013 the defense of \u201cBattery Robinett\u201d during the Battle of Corinth (October 3-4, 1862), where he was wounded with a musket ball that creased his scalp, and later during the siege of Vicksburg. While honorable, Robinett\u2019s service seems little different from that of any other young man, North or South, who went off to war in 1861. At a glance, Robinett, who emerged from the war as a Major, would hardly seem a likely subject for a biography.\nIn \"From Broomsticks to Battlefields,\" Bill Speer has used Robinett\u2019s life to shed light upon several aspects of the American experience and society in the mid-nineteenth century that have not yet been fully explored, namely the treatment of TBI and PTSD sufferers.\nUnlike many who returned to civilian life after the war, Robinett pursued a career in the Regular Army. That career, however, was marred by increasingly erratic behavior that ended in his suicide just three years after the war - the result of complex psychological problems that are carefully discussed in the book. From Broomsticks to Battlefields gives us a little more insight into the extent to which the horrors of war affect the personality and reminds us that historians and psychologists have barely begun to study the question of post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury among Civil War veterans.\nThrough the years, Delaware Military Academy transformed numerous times, evolving into Pennsylvania Military Academy, Pennsylvania Military College, PMC Colleges, Widener College, and finally Widener University. Bill is a 1972 graduate of Pennsylvania Military College.\n\"From Broomsticks to Battlefields\" is now available from Deeds Publishing at http://www.deedspublishing.com.\nJan Babcock\n\"From Broomsticks to Battlefields\" is now available at www.deedspublishing.com",

Grebinski\n\u200bAs we begin the 2013-14 school year, I want to extend a warm welcome to all our new and returning students and their families. The first days of school are always exciting ones but they are also a chance for parents and students to become familiar with teachers, classrooms or class schedules and bus schedules. The connection between school and home is very important to student success.\nIn Prairie Valley School Division, we put students first by focusing on five specific areas, students, programming, staff, facilities and finance which tie into effectiveness in our schools.\nAs you arrive back at your schools, you may notice that our staff has been hard at work this summer doing maintenance work, installing new computers and completing renovation projects at many schools!\nMany of you contributed to the strategic plan for the school division during public consultation held in April and May. Your feedback has now been incorporated into a plan set our course for the next four years. The Board of Education will be sharing this report with the public in the near future.\nI\u2019m looking forward to a rewarding school year for all our students and families.

        "raw_content": "Qualified Mortgage / Mortgage Tips & Advice / Check Your Credit Score Before Applying for a Mortgage\nCheck Your Credit Score Before Applying for a Mortgage\nSummary: This article explains why you should check your credit score before applying for a mortgage loan. It explains how lenders use your score for risk assessment, and how this can help or harm your chances of getting approved.\nMortgage lenders have been looking at borrowers\u2019 credit scores for many years. It has long been a key part of the mortgage approval process. But recent trends suggest that lenders may be putting even more emphasis on these three-digit numbers.\nAccording to financial publisher Kiplinger: \u201cFannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which set the standards for mortgages they buy from lenders, require a minimum credit score of 620; you\u2019ll get the best rate if your score exceeds 720.\u201d\nBut what is a credit score? Where does it come from? And how does it affect you during the mortgage approval process? Let\u2019s start with a basic definition and progress from there:\nA credit score is a three-digit number used by lenders to measure risk. Anyone who has ever borrowed and repaid money in the past will likely have a credit score. The scoring system most commonly used by mortgage lenders is the FICO score. This is a three-digit number between 300 and 850.\nThe score is based on information contained within a consumer\u2019s credit reports. The reports, in turn, are based on information that gets reported by creditors (banks, credit card companies, etc.).\nWhy are these scores so important to mortgage lenders? In a word, risk.\nMortgage lenders are concerned with the level of risk a borrower brings to the table. It is partly what determines whether or not a particular borrower will be approved or rejected. It also influences the interest rate they assign to each loan. This is referred to as risk-based pricing:\nA borrower who is deemed to be a higher risk will be charged more interest.\nIn contrast, a more responsible borrower who is considered to be a lower risk will qualify for a lower interest rate.\nThis is how your credit score relates to the mortgage-shopping process. Having a high score indicates that you\u2019ve been a responsible borrower in the past. Thus, you represent a lower level of risk for the mortgage lender. As a result, they will probably offer you their best interest rate available. Having a low credit score has the opposite effect. The lender will charge you a higher rate if you have bad credit.\nSo the credit score ties into mortgage shopping in two ways:\nIt will partly determine whether or not you can get approved for a loan in the first place.\nIt also partly determines the interest rate you get from the lender.\nWhen it begs the question: What credit score do you need to get approved for a mortgage loan? Most lenders today want to see a score of 620 or higher, on the FICO scoring scale. But that number is not set in stone.\nCheck Your Score Before Shopping for a Mortgage\nNow you can see why it\u2019s so important to check your credit scores before applying for a home loan. In fact, I recommend that you check them before you even begin the mortgage-shopping process.\nYou might\u2019ve noticed I said \u201cscores,\u201d in the plural. That\u2019s because you have three of them, one for each of the credit-reporting companies in the United States. You have one score produced by TransUnion, another produced by Equifax, and a third produced by Experian. I recommend that you check all three of them, because you never know which one the lender is going to look at.\nDon\u2019t be surprised if you find three different numbers. While the scores may be based on the same information from your credit reports, they are produced by three different companies. It\u2019s actually rare to have the same score across all three of the bureaus. But we\u2019re getting into the weeds here. What I want you to take away from this article is the importance of checking your credit score before you shop for a loan.\nExpect to Pay a Small Fee\nYou can obtain your credit reports for free, and I recommend doing so. The federal government requires the three reporting bureaus (TransUnion, Equifax and Experian) to give each consumer a copy of his or her credit report for free, once per calendar year. The official website for obtaining your free reports is AnnualCreditReport.com.\nYour scores are a different matter. You will probably have to pay a small fee to check your credit scores before shopping for a mortgage. The last time I checked mine, I paid around $19 for each one. I obtained them through AnnualCreditReport.com, when I was also requesting my free reports. At the end of that process, I was presented with an offer to check all three scores for a single price. You can also get your scores from MyFICO.com. This website is owned by the company that created the FICO credit-scoring model mentioned earlier.\nWe\u2019ve covered a lot of information in this story. So let\u2019s recap some of the key points:\nIt\u2019s important to check your credit score before applying for a mortgage loan.\nLenders use these three-digit numbers to evaluate the level of risk the borrower brings to the deal.\nA low score suggests a pattern of the irresponsible borrowing, and will therefore result in higher interest charges.\nA high score indicates a pattern of responsible credit use, and will help the borrower qualify for a lower interest rate.\nBy itself, the credit score has the potential to make or break a mortgage loan. So it\u2019s important for two reasons \u2014 loan approval and interest charges.\nBy law, you are able to obtain your credit reports for free. But you will probably have to pay a small fee for the scores.\nChecking your credit before applying for a mortgage puts you in a better position. For instance, if you have excellent credit, very little debt, and a decent down payment, the lender should offer you their best interest rate. If they don\u2019t, you should be confident in your ability to secure a lower rate elsewhere. But you won\u2019t have this kind of negotiating leverage until you figure out where you stand as a borrower. The credit score is a key piece of that puzzle.",

        "title": "Computer Model Recreates Realistic Touch Sensation",
        "raw_content": "Computer Model Recreates Realistic Touch Sensation\nNeuroscientists from the University of Chicago have developed a computer model that can simulate the response of nerves in the hand to any pattern of touch stimulation on the skin. The tool reconstructs the response of more than 12,500 nerve fibers with millisecond precision, taking into account the mechanics of the skin as it presses up against and moves across objects.\nThe software will allow scientists to see how entire populations of nerve fibers respond when we interact with objects. This model will allow scientists to better understand how the nerve responds to touch, and can be used to build realistic sensations into bionic hands for amputees.\n\"Almost everything we know about how the nerve responds to stimulation on the skin of the hand is built into this model,\" said Sliman Bensmaia, PhD, associate professor of organismal biology and anatomy at the University of Chicago, and principal investigator for the new research. \"Finally, you can see how all these nerve fibers work together to give rise to touch.\"\nDetails of the model were published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The study, led by postdoctoral scholars Hannes Saal and Benoit Delhaye, along with Brandon Rayhaun, a former undergraduate in the lab, builds upon years of research by Bensmaia's team on how the nervous system and brain perceive the sense of touch.\nPreviously, researchers had to conduct costly and time-consuming experiments with animals or human subjects to see how the nervous system responds to a given touch stimulus. Even then, they could only record responses from one neuron at a time. But the sensation of touch comes from thousands of nerve fibers responding in concert as the hand touches, holds, and manipulates objects. The responses of individual nerve fibers aren't enough to convey stimulus information by themselves. Rather, information about objects we grasp is distributed over large groups of touch-sensitive nerves working together.\nFor instance, when you hold a cell phone in your hand, some of the nerve response is driven by skin receptors located where the edges of the phone press into your fingertips. But skin deformations also radiate away from this area, down the fingers, and throughout the rest of the hand, activating many other receptors in the process. The simulation reveals how interacting with an object creates these unique, detailed patterns of nerve activity.\nIn addition to its impact on the basic understanding of how these sensations work, the model is also a foundation for restoring touch in bionic hands for amputees. To achieve realistic feelings of touch, neural engineers try to reproduce the natural patterns of nerve activity generated when we manipulate objects. The computer model provides engineers with the nerve output generated by a given stimulus, which can then be recreated in a prosthetic by electrically stimulating the nerve through an interface implanted in the body.\nBensmaia and his team validated the output of the model against data from a wide variety of experiments conducted by other research teams, and show that it matches their output with millisecond precision. The software will be available as a free download, so other engineers can begin using it in their own work.\n\"Using a model to reproduce a biological system precisely is challenging, and we have been working on this simulation for a very long time. But the final product, I think, is worth it,\" Bensmaia said. \"It's a tool that will yield insights that were previously unattainable.\"\nThe University of Chicago Medicine & Biological Sciences is one of the nation's leading academic medical institutions.

        "raw_content": "The Thugs of Hindostan \u2013 Confessions of a Thug\nAbout the Book : The Thugs of Hindostan - Confessions of a Thug\n\"Adopted and raised by a thug, Ameer Ali committed around 719 murders in his lifetime just by the use of a roomal, strangling his prey with his grip, thus preventing any noise from being heard. Philip Meadows Taylor's Confessions of a Thug (1839) is the most influential novel about India and was one of the best-selling crime novels of the nineteenth century.\nIn the course of a confession to a white 'sahib' the imprisoned Ameer Ali recounts his life as a devoted follower of Thuggee, a secret religious cult practising ritual mass murder and robbery. Introducing a new standard of ethnographic realism to western fiction about India, Confessions of a Thug is a strikingly vivid, chilling and immensely readable thriller. This unique critical edition makes available a fascinating and significant work of Empire writing; a spine-tingling tale of crime of the Thugs of Hindostan. \"\nAbout the Author : Philip Meadows Taylor\n\"Colonel Philip Meadows Taylor (25 September 1808 \u2013 13 May 1876) was an administrator in British India and a novelist. He made a number of contributions to the Gulburga region in India, by initiating a number of reforms. He encouraged improvement of agriculture, opened up more job opportunities, started schools and improved infrastructure. He was known to spend his own money to provide drought relief. The local people started calling him as \"\"Mahadev Baba\"\". Taylor carried out significant archaeological excavations in Gulburga, and published his findings in the Transactions of the Royal Irish Academy and the Journal of The Bombay Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society and in this capacity acquired a proficient knowledge of the languages and the people of southern India.\nWhile on furlough in England in 1840, he published the first of his Indian novels, Confessions of a Thug, in which he reproduced the scenes which he had heard about the Thuggee cult, described by the chief actors in them. This book was followed by a series of tales, Tippoo Sultaun (1840), Tara (1863), Ralph Darnell (1865), Seeta (1872), and A Noble Queen (1878), all illustrating periods of Indian history and society, and giving a prominent place to the native character, for which and the native institutions and traditions he had a great regard and respect. Seeta in particular was remarkable for its sympathetic and romantic portrayal of the marriage between a British civil servant and a Hindu widow just before the Indian Mutiny. \"",

        "raw_content": "Double gold medalist Ligety gives Utah edge over Denver in Olympic chase\nTed Ligety, River Radamus and Steve Nyman talking Olympics at a press conference in Beaver Creek last week (David O. Williams photo).\nBEAVER CREEK, Colo. \u2014 With Reno-Tahoe now out of the running, some of Utah\u2019s most accomplished Olympic athletes feel very confident their state has a strong advantage in its competition with Denver to make a run at the 2030 Winter Games.\nPark City\u2019s Ted Ligety, the only American man to ever win two Olympic ski-racing gold medals, says Utah still has the well-maintained venues in place from hosting the 2002 Winter Olympics and proximity between its major metro area and its ski areas that Colorado simply can\u2019t match.\n\u201cSalt Lake is the no-brainer choice really from the sustainability part of it. You see so many places spending tens of billions of dollars on the Olympics and basically everything\u2019s already in place tomorrow in Salt Lake,\u201d Ligety said at a press conference in Beaver Creek during last weekend\u2019s Xfinity Birds of Prey men\u2019s World Cup races.\n\u201cAnd Denver offers a big challenge having Vail Pass and all that stuff. It\u2019s hard to get up here on a snow day, where I\u2019ve never in my life had Parleys Summit be closed to get to Park City,\u201d Ligety said of the I-80 climb between Salt Lake and Park City, which takes about 30 minutes.\nU.S. Olympic Committee (USOC) officials met with the Denver and Colorado Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games Exploratory Committee members in Denver on Nov. 13 to discuss the possibility of Colorado hosting the Winter Games in 2030 or beyond. The visit came just a day after the Reno-Tahoe Winter Games Coalition withdrew the California-Nevada cities from consideration, leaving just Denver and Salt Lake City among the two possible U.S. candidates.\n\u201cThe meeting gave us an opportunity to share our vision for how we could host a world-class, privately funded Winter Games in our state, as well as to share comprehensive operational and financial details that were included in \u2026 [the committee\u2019s] final report released this past summer,\u201d Denver exploratory committee chairman Rob Cohen said in a release.\nThe Colorado Springs-based USOC is expected to choose a candidate to offer up to the International Olympic Committee by the end of the year. Another hurdle for Colorado is the committee\u2019s recommendation, despite the private funding promise, that voters should get the final say on hosting the games. A statewide referendum would be held no later than 2020.\nA no vote by Coloradans over environmental, financial and logistical concerns is what derailed the 1976 Denver Winter Olympics after the IOC already awarded them \u2013 the first and only time that\u2019s ever happened in Olympic history. Beaver Creek was conceived as a venue for those games, and now hosts an annual World Cup stop, with races through Sunday.\nReno-Tahoe reportedly pulled out of consideration due in part to Los Angeles hosting the 2028 Summer Olympics and therefore holding exclusive marketing rights from 2019 up through 2028. That would leave a compressed two-year window to market the 2030 Winter Olympics, and that shorter window made the games economically unfeasible for Reno-Tahoe, officials said.\nUtah would appear to be the frontrunner over Colorado from both an infrastructure and logistical standpoint, said one ski industry official who requested anonymity.\n\u201cI think they just need to move into a trend of using sites that already exist,\u201d said U.S. Ski Team veteran Steve Nyman, of Provo, Utah. \u201cAll this stuff is built, and Utah\u2019s done a great job utilizing it and developing athletes in all kinds of sports over those years since 2002. If that\u2019s something [IOC officials] want to move towards, I think Utah\u2019s a great candidate.\u201d\nThe IOC adopted the Olympic Agenda 2020 after the $50 billion spent on the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics scared away many of the bidders for 2022, which ultimately was awarded to Beijing, China \u2013 making the 2008 summer host city the first to ever have both winter and summer games.\nRiver Radamus, a 20-year-old racer from Edward, Colo., who\u2019s in his first year on the World Cup circuit, said he\u2019d love to compete in an Olympics in his home state, if he\u2019s still racing.\n\u201cObviously, it\u2019s a complicated economic issue just because of how the Olympic committee is set up right now, but if it makes sense financially, obviously every American would love to see it in any place in America,\u201d Radamus said. \u201cI\u2019d love to race in Colorado if it ever happened.\u201d\nNyman echoed that an Olympics anywhere in the United States would be awesome, although at age 36 he\u2019s pretty sure he won\u2019t be competing.\n\u201cIt would be pretty cool to see the Olympics here at Beaver Creek, but I wish I could be racing. Maybe I will be racing in 2030,\u201d Nyman joked. \u201cBut Snowbasin [site of the 2002 Olympic downhill] was a fantastic track. It would be amazing to see the Olympics again in Salt Lake. Hopefully we get the games, either Salt Lake of Denver. We\u2019ll see.\u201d\nLast year from Vail, retired Olympian Bode Miller predicted California (Reno-Tahoe) would be the USOC\u2019s pick. An NBC commentator for the 2018 Pyeongchang Games, Miller also raised concerns about the stale format of the Olympics and shrinking winters due to climate change. He aded shorter winters are part of the business plan for gear companies like his Bomber Ski brand.\nLigety, who like Miller is part owner of a ski gear company, also addressed climate issues impacting the ski industry, especially at lower elevations in the European venues where most of the World Cup is contested.\n\u201cIf you look at a place like Soelden [Austria, the annual World Cup opener] and how much that glacier\u2019s changed in just the course of my career, it\u2019s pretty stunning, so that\u2019s something that\u2019s always in the forefront of all of our minds,\u201d said Ligety, founder of Shred googles. \u201cFrom a business standpoint \u2026 we are definitely very conscious of trying to protect our playground.\u201d\nLigety explained what that looks like for Shred.\n\u201cWe partner with organizations like 1% For the Planet and POW [Protect our Winters] \u2013 both of which are great organizations for trying to bring climate awareness out there and also trying to make changes, \u201d Ligety said. \u201cWithin the company we try to do as much as we can sustainability-wise in the way that we build and source our products and the materials that we use and how we do everything there \u2013 just out general operations. That\u2019s something that we\u2019re really cognizant of.\u201d",

And how fun to do this.\nOkay, a little background: I didn\u2019t grow up reading romance, a fact I see as totally pathetic and sad. Oh, how my teen years would\u2019ve been improved by some good romances.\nBut, oh well, I\u2019m one of those people who came to romance later in life, entering through the door of urban fantasy and fantasy, which led me to paranormal romance, and then my ultimate love historical romance, which is what I read for pleasure, but would never be able to write in a million years.\nAnyway, since my historical romance reading life started in 2008, I missed out on the great 1990\u2019s Fabio era of books, these books people swoon over when you say their name on Twitter. But little by little I\u2019ve been digging back and trying them out. Some of the oldies leave me thinking wtf!! (The Windflower, for example.)\nOthers have left me breathless. Panting for more. Amazed out of my head!\nOne of these amazing books is Flowers from the Storm by Laura Kinsale. Is the greatness of this book old news to everyone here? Is posting about this like announcing George W. Bush won an election? Are there other people like me who haven\u2019t read it? Because it was just startling to me.\nFirst published in 1992, the tale begins when the brilliant, dashing, rakish math genius, the scandalous Duke of Jervaulx, captures the eye (and pious disapproval because he\u2019s a yummalicious rake) of sheltered Maddy, a Quaker goody two-shoes who assists her mathematician father.\nNothing comes of the brief interaction, but then Jervaulx is struck by an illness that leaves him unable to speak. People think he\u2019s crazy and throw him into a horrible asylum. His mother thinks he\u2019s being punished for his wicked ways.\nThe Duke of Jervaulx is alone in the world.\nMaddy, who so looked down on him, is the only one who realizes he\u2019s not the monster everyone thinks he is. She alone understands him, she alone can rescue the super-hot and damaged duke from the clutches of evil people. OMG, if you haven\u2019t read this book, don\u2019t even listen to my sucky description. It is so exciting and good.\nHonestly, when I was reading this, I would often exclaim to my husband, OMG, I can\u2019t believe how amazing this book is!!\nHe, of course, gave me massive crap for the Fabio-esque cover \u2013 yes, this is the edition I found at my trusty USB. Well, it was worth it. I can\u2019t remember the last time I was so heart-racingly compelled by a plot and a hero and heroine.\nSo that is my recommend. A blast from the past. I hope, if you pick it up, that you enjoy it as much as I did.\nThanks so much to Caroline Crane for sharing her flashback recommendation! I asked Caroline to be a part of this feature because I loved her Disillusionist trilogy. They are original and engaging and they shocked me with great plot twists. The story follows a hypochondriac heroine who ends up using her illness as a weapon. Plus, a great love triangle develops. If you haven\u2019t read these books, I strongly suggest you give Mind Games a try. I\u2019ll bet you can\u2019t stop there.\nSo, do you want a blast from the past? I\u2019m giving away an ecopy of Flowers from the Storm via Amazon or Barnes & Noble. If you can receive an ebook from them, you are eligible to win.

I have a closet with bookshelves from ceiling to floor and both are stuffed to the brim and overflowing. Some are books I\u2019ve kept since I was in high school, others are research books, and some are new authors I\u2019ve discovered through word of mouth. I tend to read a little of everything, and when I\u2019m working on my own historical romances, I like to read paranormal romance.\nThe first romance I ever devoured was The Maiden by Jude Deveraux. It was medieval, set in a fictional country, and I was completely hooked from page one. I went on to read all of Jude\u2019s books, and spent many happy hours reading and re-reading her historical romances.\nWhile Jude\u2019s stories were the ones that hooked me on romance, it was LaVyrle Spencer who held me in awe. The emotional complexity of her stories held me spellbound, and I\u2019ve read her books so many times, they are falling apart. Favorites include: Morning Glory, a WWII-set story about an ex-con and a pregnant widow who shuns the town; The Endearment, a mail-order bride story; and Vows, which featured a heroine who wanted to be a veterinarian. Even now, I can re-read these books and find something new to savor. If LaVyrle ever comes out of retirement to write a new book, I\u2019ll be first in line to buy it.\nThere are two series in the paranormal world that I adore. First, JR Ward\u2019s Black Dagger Brotherhood series, and in particular, Lover Awakened is my all-time favorite. It\u2019s a Beauty and the Beast story, but with a paranormal twist. And as far as tortured heroes go, Zsadist is one messed-up hero\u2026.which makes it all the more delicious when he earns his happy ending.\nThe second paranormal series I\u2019ve enjoyed is Karen Marie Moning\u2019s Fever series. The first book, Dark Fever, featured a heroine who reminded me of Elle from Legally Blonde. When MacKayla tries to find out who murdered her sister, she discovers an apocalyptic world of things that go bump in the night\u00ac\u2014and her manicure will never be the same. It\u2019s a funny, suspenseful series that grabs you by the throat and the transformation of MacKayla is amazing. I loved every minute of it, and was thankful I hadn\u2019t started the series until Moning had finished the last book. I read all of them in a week.\nThese are some of my favorite books, and I hope you\u2019ll try some of them!\nThanks so much to Michelle Willingham for sharing these fantastic recommendations. I asked Michelle to particpate in this feature because her tortured hero in Tempted by the Highland Warrior really hit my sweet spot. The guy was so tortured he lost the ability to speak!! It was a great love story and a Highlander book and if you haven\u2019t read it yet, I highly recommend that you check it out.\nIn the meantime, I must say that I am also a huge fan of Karen Marie Moning. So much so that I invited her to participate here as well. Unfortunately, she is crazy-busy with the upcoming Iced release. But she offered to provide a signed copy of Fever Moon to give away to one of you! Just fill out the Rafflecopter form below to enter to win.

And my first responsibility to my readers is to write a great book, so when I\u2019m starting work on a new book, I fish around for a book or two to read that\u2019ll help prime my creative pump.\nFirst off, I want the writing to be fabulous. And by that I don\u2019t mean\u2026oh, lyrical descriptions of s manor houses or what have you. For me, prose is utterly secondary to (or rather\u2014I should say it should only be the delivery medium for) a voice and vision and world view that creates a reading experience so immersive that I feel a little disoriented, almost drunk, when I lift my head from the book, as if I\u2019m surfacing from a deep sea dive or a vivid dream. I don\u2019t really need a happy ending, but I like the ending to feel right. And I may or may not want to read a particular amazing book again. Some pack such a visceral wallop I may never read them again, because I never want to risk altering the way I felt when I first read it. Others I\u2019ll read a half dozen or so times or more. I might critically parse books as I read them, questioning a plot direction, for instance, but I ultimately judge a book on its net impact: was I entertained throughout? Was I moved? Does the story linger? What ultimate feeling was I left with? I\u2019m a pretty egalitarian reader\u2014I don\u2019t really think a \u201clight\u201d book has fewer merits than a \u201cheavy\u201d one, and I don\u2019t believe one genre is superior to another. A good book is a good book; a dull book is a dull book. If it takes you away, it\u2019s done its job. If it transforms you, better still. Reading is a GOOD thing.\nYA Author John Green\u2019s THE FAULT IN OUR STARS just\u2026blew me away. And if you haven\u2019t read it, and if you don\u2019t think reading about two teenagers who meet in a support group for terminal cancer is something you want to read\u2026well, start reading and try to stop. It\u2019s gorgeously romantic\u2014a true love story in every sense of the word\u2014but it\u2019s very witty, a bit dark, compassionate, tragic, profound, philosophical, intelligent, compulsively readable, and ultimately uplifting. John Green accomplishes all of this with a deceptively light touch. I know better than to use the word \u201ceffortless\u201d to describe anyone\u2019s book\u2014even if a writer is propelled by instinct and hard pressed to dissect his or her process, so is, say, a panther when it leaps. I suspect little chunks of the author\u2019s heart and soul are the kindling for a book like this. But it\u2019s utterly effortless to read. Fair warning: it\u2019ll likely wreck you, but in the best way.\nDavid Mitchell is a writer that leaves me kind of blinking and drop-jawed, very, \u201cHow\u2026HOW\u2026the HELL does he do THAT??\u201d Again there\u2019s that temptation to pull out the word \u201ceffortless\u201d\u2014CLOUD ATLAS is a set of linked stories that leap from genre to genre, from era to era, from voice to voice, absolutely seamlessly, with wit, skill, depth, enormous intelligence and grace without ever losing the narrative thread or my attention. The writing is quite simply astonishing. They\u2019ve made a movie of it (Tom Hanks, Hugh Grant, Susan Sarandon, Halle Berry, among many others are in the cast), and I can\u2019t wait to see how they try to pull it off. And if you\u2019re a child of the 80\u2019s, I\u2019d recommend Mitchell\u2019s BLACK SWAN GREEN, a story of a boy growing up in England in that era, his challenges at school, his parent\u2019s disintegrating marriage, so much more. It\u2019s lovely, funny, wrenching and gorgeous, and a bit more traditional in format that CLOUD ATLAS.\nIrish author Marian Keyes has been a longtime favorite of mine. She began her career classified as a Chick Lit author\u2014she in fact may have been one of the pioneers of the genre, along with Helen Fielding\u2014but to me, she reads more like\u2026oh, maybe more like a female Nick Hornby: she\u2019s a literate, nuanced, writer with a marvelous emotional intelligence who again employs that deceptively light touch even as she navigates some darker themes, like addiction or domestic abuse or grave illness. But basically, she writes about life: friends, family, romance, betrayals, beginnings, endings, transformation. And she is HILARIOUS\u2014 one of the few authors who can force me put the book down because I\u2019m laughing so hard. She started out a great writer and has simply gotten better with every book. I\u2019ve read everything she\u2019s written several times, but I\u2019m a little too old now for some of the issues in her earlier books (e.g., girls with low self esteem navigating the dating world), but I suspect she is, too, because her themes have also matured. If you haven\u2019t yet read her, I\u2019d recommend THE BRIGHTEST STAR IN THE SKY (hated to see that book end) or IS ANYBODY OUT THERE, my favorite so far of the Walsh sister books, and another book that\u2019ll wreck you, in a good way.\nOther books that I devour: M.C. Beaton\u2019s light and addictive Agatha Raisin and Hamish Macbeth cozies; anything written by Alexander McCall Smith, who writes with such compassion and intelligence and humor and has a fabulous sense of place\u2014his wit is a little edgier and more satirical in his Scotland Street series, and I love it; Laurie R. King\u2019s Sherlock Holmes/Mary Russell books\u2014excellent writing, some dense history, wonderful characterizations; I\u2019ve been on an noire kick lately, gobbling up Raymond Chandler and Vera Caspary, both brilliant and unique writers; I love Donna Leon\u2019s Commissario Brunetti mysteries set in Venice; and lately I\u2019m catching up on David Sedaris books I\u2019ve missed.\nThanks so much to Julie Anne Long for sharing these recommendations. I asked Julie to be a part of the feature because her Pennyroyal Green series finds just the right blend of romance and humor. I always laugh when I\u2019m reading these books, but the love stories really deliver as well. My favorite is probably How the Marquess Was Won, but What I Did for a Duke was a huge fan favorite as well.\nWould you like to try one of Julie Anne Long\u2019s recommendations?

Good luck!\nFiled Under: Favorites from My Favorites Tagged With: Julie Anne Long9 Comments\nFavorites From\u2026 Loretta & Larissa\nLoretta Chase & Larissa Ione\nLoretta: I do read contemporary romance a bit more than my own genre and my go-to authors are Susan Elizabeth Philips and Jennifer Crusie. While neither has ever written a book I didn\u2019t like, here are my favorites:\nSEP: Heaven, Texas\nJC: Bet Me\nAnd outside romance but inside Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Alternate Reality: I think Terry Pratchett is just brilliant. I would start with Guards, Guards, rather than at the very beginning of the Discworld Series. Then, once the reader is completely hooked, she\u2019ll want to read the first book and continue\u2014which has the bonus of allowing her to read Guards, Guards again.\nLarissa: My two all time favorites are Robert Jordan and Sharon Kay Penman\u2026but since you\u2019re probably wanting romance-y, I\u2019d go with Sharon Kay Penman. She writes historical fiction, but her books always have a romantic subplot, and they\u2019re just amazing!!!! My favorite is Here Be Dragons, which features a very strong romance. Love it!\nNeither Loretta & Larissa could contribute a full guest post, but I wanted to share their recommendations with you. I asked Loretta to participate in the feature because I love her historicals, especially Lord of Scoundrels. It features an \u201cugly\u201d hero who never really feels worthy of his heroine. And it makes me swoon just thinking about it.\nLarissa writes fabulous PNR. I love her Demonica series and its spinoff Lords of Deliverance books. They have such amazing world-building and a huge cast of character that give the stories such a rich canvas. And \u2013holy wow\u2013 the lady can write some sex. Thanks to both Larissa & Loretta for taking the time to share their recs with us.\nAnd, of course, we\u2019ve got a giveaway to share.

Thank you for having me as your guest today. I love the idea of asking authors to share recommendations for their favorite books. The hardest part was deciding just which books to choose \u2013 there\u2019s such a wealth of fantastic reading out there.\nRecently I\u2019ve tempered my diet of wonderful romance novels with mysteries. I love how in a good mystery series, we follow that single character through what is often a very long arc (for something like the Nevada Barr series, there are at currently 17 books!). I also love how in many of these series, there\u2019s a romantic subplot that occasionally pushes its way up to become center of attention. Think C.S. Harris\u2019s brilliant Viscount Devlin series set in the Regency period, starting with WHAT ANGELS FEAR.\nYeah, I know, I\u2019m cheating. I\u2019m fitting some extra recommendations in before I get to my ACTUAL recommendation! No mystery there.\nThe Amelia Peabody books by Elizabeth Peters are absolute corkers. They\u2019re a recent discovery for me, but they\u2019ve been around for yonks. CROCODILE ON THE SANDBANK, the first book, was published back in 1975. The latest installment A RIVER IN THE SKY came out in 2010. Talk about longevity! A RIVER IN THE SKY is number 19 and more are promised. Huzzah! Long live Amelia and her many cohorts.\nYou might worry about the earlier books seeming dated. And they are \u2013 right back to late in Queen Victoria\u2019s reign. One of the advantages of writing historical mysteries is that it really doesn\u2019t matter if flares go in and out of style in the current era, the specificity of period is part of the charm.\nIn CROCODILE, we meet Amelia Peabody, forthright, brave, self-opinionated (although often wrong) spinster. When Amelia unexpectedly inherits a fortune, she fulfills her dreams of travel to Egypt in the golden age of archeology. There she meets irascible, disheveled and extremely sexy Radcliffe Emerson, \u201cthe greatest Egyptologist of this or any other age\u201d as we are told at least once in every book (the running jokes are one of the joys of this series). Sparks fly, romance ensues, and in between, there are dead bodies galore. Some of these dead bodies are meant to be that way \u2013 mummies feature strongly \u2013 but some aren\u2019t. Amelia and Emerson play amateur sleuths in between their digging. \u201cEvery year, another dead body\u201d as their overseer Abdullah puts it.\nCROCODILE ON THE SANDBANK sets the pattern for future books. There\u2019s fun and sparkling wit. There\u2019s romance. There\u2019s danger and intrigue. There\u2019s fascinating information about Egypt, both ancient and (relatively) modern. Amelia and Emerson have one son, the dashing, mysterious and charismatic Ramses who becomes the swashbuckling hero of later books. Do you remember I mentioned extended romance plots? Ramses\u2019s path to true love is littered with drama and heartache and by the time he gets his happy ending in THE FALCON AT THE PORTAL, the reader (and Ramses) have been through the wringer. Great stuff!\nAnother joy is the huge cast of characters who swing in and out of the stories. Eccentric scholars, master criminals, young lovers, Egyptians, uppity servants, spies, suffragettes, rotters, real people like Howard Carter or Lawrence of Arabia. Not to mention cats who are characters in their own right. You\u2019re never quite sure what you\u2019re going to get in an Amelia Peabody novel apart from rollicking enjoyment, a great story and a plethora of corpses.\nThe tone is dry and witty with hints of high Victorian. Surprisingly the humor doesn\u2019t jar with the dramatic or tragic elements. There\u2019s Bronte-esque melodrama and Austenish wit and Dickensian universality, yet somehow the books emerge all of a piece. As a writer, I\u2019m in awe every time I read one.\nIf you haven\u2019t read Amelia Peabody, I highly recommend her. If you have, I\u2019m sure I\u2019m speaking to the converted. If possible, read the books in order. Many of plot strands about the family run from book to book with revelations timed for maximum effect. I\u2019m currently up to number 14, THE GOLDEN ONE, and I\u2019m loving it.\nIf you\u2019d like to read more about Amelia, her family and her adventures, here\u2019s a link to the official website: http://www.mpmbooks.com/peabody/index.html\nSo are you a fan of historical mysteries? Do you like a little (or a lot!) romance mixed in with other genres? Have you read any of the Amelia Peabody stories? What\u2019s your favorite?\nThank you to Anna Campbell for sharing her recommendations today. I asked Anna to be a part of this feature because I absolutely adored her Beauty and the Beast themed Seven Nights in a Rogue\u2019s Bed. It follows a woman willing to pay off her sister\u2019s debt in the bed of a scarred recluse.

Nicole Peeler here, sharing with you one of my favorite subgenres. It\u2019s a little different, maybe, for some of you, but if you like para-rom or UF I really think you\u2019ll like\u2026\nParanormal cozy mysteries!\nThe mystery genre, for those of you who don\u2019t read it much, are divided into two primary strains: thrillers and cozies. Thrillers are things like Girl with the Dragon Tattoo or The Snowman, which have lots of action, violence, and violent themes. As for cozies, you\u2019re probably most familiar with them in the shape of Murder She Wrote or Miss Marple. Cozies usually feature an amateur sleuth, rather than a professional, and the sex and violence are toned way down. There are still murders, but they will often be offstage, using a method such as poisoning or a single stab-wound, rather than showing a big gory murder like a thriller would.\nI love cozies and always have, but recently cozies have begun to stretch their wings a little, allowing things into the genre that would never have been considered before. One example of this is the paranormal cozy. You might remember stories like \u201cThe Hound of the Baskervilles,\u201d in which there appears to be a paranormal element. But, just like in Scooby Doo, those elements were always \u201cunmasked\u201d to reveal a human villain.\nLately, however, some cozy authors have been playing with the supernatural in a \u201creal\u201d way. The murderers in these books are still going to be human, and that\u2019s one of the things that makes the paranormal cozy different from urban fantasy. But nowadays we have amateur sleuths who are witches with real arcane power, or true psychics, or mediums who really can see the dead, et cetera.\nSo a cozy paranormal mystery will have all the elements of a cozy. There will be a murder to be solved by an amateur sleuth. There will be minimum sex and violence on stage, although there may be a love interest and some \u201cclosed door\u201d intimacy. There will be a really developed world that\u2019s small in feel, so an actual small village or a small community within a larger one. And there will be lots of great character development, as part of the joy of the cozy is watching someone who shouldn\u2019t have to deal with murder and intrigue being forced to chase after baddies.\nBut a paranormal cozy will have some fun supernatural extras that will appeal to readers of both para-rom and UF.\nIf you like the sound of this genre, two writers I highly recommend are Juliet Blackwell and Victoria Laurie. Both have series with great supernatural elements, wonderful love interests, and very intriguing murders to solve by fun protagonists.\nAs someone who has always loved the cozy, I\u2019m happy to see it opening up to new themes and premises, while still remaining true to its roots.\nThank you to Nicole Peeler for sharing her recommendations today. I asked Nicole to be a part of this feature because her Jane True books add some much needed laughter to my life. The title character is a half-human half-selkie who is just learning about the supernatural world around her and her place in it. The series also features a sexy shapeshifter named Anyan who ratchets up the sexual tension between action and the humor. You can check out my review of the first book in the series, Tempest Rising, for more info.\nIn the meantime, I\u2019ve got a cozy mystery for you to try.

I discovered her about fifteen years ago and each book is like opening a new gift. I started collecting them immediately off eBay (they were actually my first foray onto eBay!) and never looked back. I have hundreds. Some of my personal faves are The Grand Sophy, Arabella, The Toll-Gate, and The Convenient Marriage. She writes in a voice perfect for the genre. I think she\u2019s brilliant.\nOn of my first reads in PNR was Kresley Cole. I hadn\u2019t read much of the genre before her, so she literally popped my genre \u201ccherry\u201d with her Immortals After Dark series. And can I say it was an awesome way to pop! She has an amazing voice. (Voice is huge for me.) Her characters jump off the page and her sex is diiiirty. Start with the first and read all the way through. You won\u2019t be sorry.\nJane Yellowrock is badass and one of my very favorite urban fantasy heroines. Faith Hunter is at the top of the urban fantasy food chain for me. Her writing is flawless and her world absolutely rocks. I like my heroines tough with a mind of their own. Faith delivers every single time. If you haven\u2019t read Jane yet, I urge you to pick one up. The story is original and Faith writes action all day, everyday.\nMy happy go-to place has always been humor. I love to laugh. And for that it\u2019s always David Sedaris. I laugh until I cry when I read one of his books. They are the only books I\u2019ve ever read out loud so my spouse can enjoy by proxy. (Often much to his dismay.) I\u2019ve been known to yell, \u201cWait, wait\u2026there\u2019s one more,\u201d laughs too hard to speak, \u201cyou gotta hear this one. It\u2019s the last one. I promise.\u201d \u201cNo wait, there\u2019s just one more\u2026\u201d Me Talk Pretty One Day is one of his best, but they all rock if you love to laugh.\nAmanda\u2019s bookshelf\nI\u2019d like to thank Red Hot Books for inviting me to chat about books I love. There\u2019s nothing better than an excellent book\u2014a book that leaves you with happy tingles is a true gift. If you\u2019d like to find out more about me and my debut FULL BLOODED, I\u2019m in all the regular places. For more info visit my website at: www.amandacarlson.com\nThanks to Amanda Carlson for sharing these recommendations today. I asked Amanda to be a part of the feature because I really enjoyed her debut, Full Blooded. It features a kick-ass werewolf heroine who is the only one of her kind.

I was a reader long before I became a writer, so it\u2019s great to talk about authors I love. First, a disclaimer: There\u2019s no way I can mention every author I enjoy because that would take too long. For a more complete list, you can go here and that still won\u2019t cover everyone. Disclaimer aside, here are the top five authors that make me drop everything when they have a new release:\nMelissa Marr. Whether it\u2019s sinister-yet-sensual faeries (Wicked Lovely); the Hungry Dead (Graveminder); witches, shifters, and daemons in a mesmerizing carnival (Carnival of Souls), or an otherworld that gives Cowboys and Aliens a run for its money (not-yet-released The Arrivals), I am hooked on Melissa\u2019s stories. She blends richly-layered world building with characters so vibrant it\u2019s not unusual for me to dream about them.\nIlona Andrews. Another author who matches awesome world building with addictive characters. If you\u2019re a series junkie like me, I can\u2019t recommend the Kate Daniels books highly enough. If you like your stories in one-and-done form, then check out Gunmetal Magic, a stand-alone spinoff set in the Kate Daniels world, or any novel in Ilona\u2019s \u201cThe Edge\u201d series. Don\u2019t blame me when you miss out on sleep, though. Her books don\u2019t like to be put down.\nKresley Cole. Her Immortals After Dark series is my literary crack. Each book is filled sexiness, humor, and enough emotional drama to make me tear up at times. These books are firmly on my Keeper shelf for whenever I wanted a guaranteed great read, or a great re-read.\nCharlaine Harris. She\u2019s the woman who brought us Sookie, Eric, Bill, and Alcide. Need I say more? Okay, I will: The Southern Vampire Mysteries manages to blend quirkiness with horror, humor with sensuality, and the supernatural with the mundane so smoothly that one might be tempted to believe Bon Temps actually exists. Also, Charlaine is so warm and gracious that someone ought to tell her she\u2019s a rock star because clearly she\u2019s unaware of that.\nNalini Singh. Her Guild Hunter series is pure magic. I love the blend of angels, vampires, and natural-born hunters. Elena and Raphael burn up the pages, as do Dmitri and Honor, and in case Nalini didn\u2019t hear me the first time I said it\u2026can we get a Bluebell book? PLEASE?! *wink*\nThank you to Jeaniene Frost for sharing these recommendations! I asked Jeaniene to be a part of this feature because her Night Huntress books were among my very first UF/ PNR reads and I still love re-reading them. The series follows the lives and romance of half-blood vampire Cat and her uber-sexy partner Bones. Jeaniene has also written spinoff books featuring side characters in the series (which I also love.) If you haven\u2019t read this series yet, start with Halfway to the Grave. It won\u2019t let you down.\nIn the meantime, here is your chance to try out one of Jeaniene\u2019s recommendations.

I have a long list; stuff like Sharon Kay Penman\u2019s medieval novels (and don\u2019t ignore her Justin de Quincy mysteries, which I loved), Angela Huth\u2019s WIVES OF THE FISHERMEN, Donna Tartt\u2019s THE SECRET HISTORY, Josephine Tey\u2019s THE DAUGHTER OF TIME (which I think should be required reading!), THE CHURCH OF DEAD GIRLS by Stephen Dobyns, INTO THE WOODS by Tana French\u2026the list goes on and on. And yes, of course there are other urban fantasy novels and authors on it, ghost stories and mysteries.\nBut I\u2019m going to step out of genre and talk about Herman Wouk (who, at the age of ninety-something, has a new book coming out soon, btw). His Pulitzer-prize winning THE CAINE MUTINY is my favorite novel ever. But lately I\u2019ve been thinking about, and listening to on audio, MARJORIE MORNINGSTAR. So that\u2019s what I\u2019ll discuss today.\nMARJORIE is about Marjorie Morgenstern (\u201cMorningstar\u201d is her stage name), a young Jewish girl in 1930s New York who dreams of becoming an actress, and who finds herself in a complicated, years-long romance with a fascinating but irresponsible songwriter. The back cover of the first copy I bought\u2014which fell apart, and I had to replace it\u2014described it as something like \u201ca searing romance that crosses two continents.\u201d Which is true, ultimately, but the book is not genre romance by any stretch, and the relationship is both more mundane and more interesting than that. It defines Marjorie\u2026until she decides to stop allowing it to do so.\nIt\u2019s difficult to talk about MARJORIE without spoiling the ending, which is one of the greatest \u201cupsets\u201d I\u2019ve read, but I\u2019ll try. I\u2019ll just say that the ending is both surprising and not surprising, and that it is deeply satisfying. Having spent something like 500 pages with Marjorie, we care about and like her; we understand her. And whatever she may or may not become, when we close the book on the last page, we know that she is truly happy, truly satisfied.\nWe know above all that she has been true to herself. Despite the complex and contradictory advice she is given, despite her battling the demands of her parents and the demands of society, Marjorie ultimately chooses to live as she wants to live, and no other way.\nI first read the book at eighteen, having devoured THE CAINE MUTINY the year before. I remember being a bit confused by the ending; I liked it, I loved Marjorie and I loved the book, but I was\u2026kind of let down. I\u2019d been expecting something else. Marjorie\u2019s final decisions seemed odd to me. I mean, I got it, but I didn\u2019t \u201cget\u201d it.\nQuite frankly, I wasn\u2019t old enough yet to see what Marjorie saw, and to fully understand what led to that decision. This may be due in part to my immaturity at the time\u2014I was only eighteen, after all\u2014but I also believe it\u2019s partly due to Wouk\u2019s skill and the subtlety of the clues he dropped, the way he showed us the character of Noel Airman (the songwriter). At the end, Noel has not changed; he is not presented one tiny bit differently than he has been throughout the book. At eighteen I saw that and didn\u2019t understand what it meant. At eighteen I didn\u2019t quite see, yet, where that led and would lead, how even as Noel is exactly the same the book\u2019s perception of him, and thus Marjorie\u2019s perception of him, has shifted ever so slightly, the way the angle of the sun has shifted in the last week or so, making it feel like fall instead of summer. Everything looks the same; everything is the same, but the way we perceive it, the way it feels, has changed just a bit. It\u2019s like we\u2019ve taken one step to the left.\nThere\u2019s a moment right at the end where Marjorie sees the room before her as if through a green lens, and everything looks clownish and false. Then the lens disappears and she realizes it was the \u201clens\u201d itself that was false. She realizes that she is who she is, and she is proud of that, and excited about the future. That\u2019s rather how it feels reading the scene I can only think of as the \u201cshowdown\u201d in the book\u2019s penultimate chapters, except in that case it\u2019s a rosy lens that has been removed. At eighteen I didn\u2019t see the removal of the lens, at least not as clearly. Now I do. Now I know why Marjorie made her decision. And, silly as it may sound when referring to a fictional character who appeared over fifty years ago, I\u2019m proud of her.\nPerhaps the life Marjorie chooses isn\u2019t one many women choose now, but the fact remains that it is her choice; her decision and no one else\u2019s. The fact remains that she is offered a different life and says no, and never regrets that decision, and we see later how right she was to say no and how strongly she both knew herself and stuck to her guns.\nYou may feel differently, of course. But either way I recommend the book highly. It\u2019s a lovely, absorbing, wonderful story, and I adore it.\nThank you to Stacia Kane for sharing her recommendations today. I asked Stacia to be a part of this feature because I am absolutely captivated by her Downside series. The heroine is a drug addict. She is fundamentally broken in many ways by neglect and abuse. She makes bad decisions. But Chess Putnam hasn\u2019t given up on life. She maintains loyalty to the Church that employs her and does her job well, banishing ghosts for them. The male lead, Terrible, is officially one of my favorite heroes of all time. He is an uneducated, unattractive thug. But he loves Chess in a way that turns him into a damn prince. The series is gritty and disturbing at times. It\u2019s also amazingly good. If you want to know more, check out my review on book one: Unholy Ghosts.\nI don\u2019t have a giveaway just on Marjorie Morningstar, but if you want to give it a try, you can enter the giveaway below. It is for any book recommended by an author during the Favorites From My Favorites feature. (Valued up to $15.) This giveaway is international.\nFiled Under: Closed Giveaway, Favorites from My Favorites Tagged With: Stacia Kane15 Comments\nFavorites From\u2026 Nalini Singh\nI\u2019ve enjoyed Joss Ware\u2019s ENVY series since I first read Embrace the Night Eternal (which is actually the second book in the series \u2013 of course, I then had to go and read book 1!).\nIt\u2019s set in a post-apocalyptic world (starting about 50 years from the apocalyptic event), and features a great cast, plus a really cool concept about how the apocalypse happened. There\u2019s action, adventure, romance, and some creepy zombies who go around saying something that makes no sense\u2026until it does. \ud83d\ude09\nIt\u2019s definitely a series I would recommend to paranormal romance fans. While there is a continuing backstory, each romance stands on its own.\nI hope those of you who decide to try this series enjoy it!\nThank you to Nalini Singh for sharing her recommendation today. I asked Nalini to participate in this feature because her Guild Hunter books are sooo good. The first three center on the Archangel Raphael and Elena, the woman who has captured his ancient, bad-ass heart. Later stories feature other angels or vampires in his circle. Nalini\u2019s also the author of the popular Psy-Changeling series. Both that series and the Guild Hunters are recommended reads by other authors taking part in Favorites From My Favorites. In fact, Nalini was recommended three times\u2026 more than any other author.\nNow, here is your chance to try Nalini\u2019s recommendation. Just fill out the Rafflecopter form below to enter to win the first book in the Envy Chronicles, Beyond the Night.

It is a spontaneous but rational creation where individuals identify the shortest way to go from a to b. The accumulation of single decisions produces, in the end, the path.\nThe team was given a green corner site with a lot of people taking a shortcut across the grass. This had created a visible line across the site and we decided to celebrate it with a series of wooden frames. They remind one of a house that could have been drawn by a child, an homage to the children going to the football pitch or to the elementary school, who are the creators of the line. The structure makes the border between the inside and the outside porous; it allows the users to see through and cross it creating new paths. Following our mission to plan for chance encounters, we added furniture that encourages people meeting on the path to sit and spend time together.\nUrban Intervention for 72HUA, Stuttgart\nCollaborators: all members of Team More or Less",

Bugdayci, M.D.\nOBJECTIVE: To determine the knowledge of, use of and willingness to use emergency contraception (EC) among women in Turkey.\nSTUDY DESIGN: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 1,298 women at 12 primary health care centers in Mersin. Chi-square, Student\\'s t test, Mann-Whitney U and binary logistic regression tests were performed for statistical analysis.\nRESULTS: Overall, 18.1% of the women had heard of EC, and of those, 73.6% correctly identified the time limit for the method\\'s use. Among women who had heard about EC, the most commonly cited source of information was health care centers. Knowledge of EC was independently associated with younger women, higher education, having received counseling about family planning, having had an unintended pregnancy, and being employed. Of women who had been sexually active, 4.4% reported having used EC.\nCONCLUSION: These data suggest that in general a low percentage of the study population has heard of EC. Health care providers and media have an important role to play in the education of women for accurate information about EC. Providing information about EC may help to prevent some unintended pregnancies and induced abortions.\nKeywords: emergency contraception; morning-after pill; pregnancy, unplanned; unwanted pregnancies; women\ufffds health",

        "raw_content": "Columbia school board OKs budget\nBy James Moss on October 3, 2018 at 2:53 pm\nThe Columbia school district\u2019s Board of Education approved its budget for the 2018-19 school year during its September meeting last Tuesday.\nThe budget predicts the district will receive $21,716,458 in revenues this year and expend $21,827,622. That is an overall budget deficit of $111,164.\nThe only funds in the negative this year are the debt service fund, which is in the red by $403,900, and the fire prevention and safety fund, which has a shortfall of $82,064.\nColumbia school superintendent Dr. Gina Segobiano said the latter fund is in the negative because the district has used a nickel levy from last year and this year for projects. The district also began the year with balance of more than $950,000 in that fund.\nShe also said the debt service fund will be less in the red once the district gets its equalized assessed value on property taxes from the county assessor\u2019s office. That fund started the year with more than $400,000 in it.\nSegobiano also said the district not having its property tax funds due to the delayed assessments made writing the budget more difficult.\n\u201cWe do have a lot of guessing games this year because, as you know, property taxes have not been determined and certified yet,\u201d Segobiano said. \u201cSo all the superintendents in Monroe County are at a guessing stage as to what our tax extension will be for the school districts. Local property taxes supports about 80 percent of our entire budget.\u201d\nWith that in mind, Segobiano said she wrote the budget as if the district\u2019s EAV would remain flat this year. It increased last year.\n\u201cI felt that was a gift last year,\u201d Segobiano said. \u201cTherefore, I would rather be more conservative.\u201d\nThe district does not require a deficit reduction plan because all of its operating funds are balanced, each of them showing a surplus.\nThe operating funds are the educational, operations and maintenance, transportation and working cash funds.\nIn another financial matter, the board received an audit report from the accounting firm Schorb & Schmersahl in Columbia.\nJim Schmersahl said the audit, which covered the previous fiscal year, came back positive.\n\u201cYou had a good year,\u201d he summarized. \u201cYou had a clean audit.\u201d\nIn other business, the board passed a change to board policy 4:60 on second reading by a vote of 5-1.\nThe policy deals with the superintendent\u2019s responsibilities as it relates to purchases and contracts.\nThe change allows the superintendent to authorize contracts of up to $25,000. These contracts will be for items that are not budgeted, cannot wait until the next board meeting and are not an emergency.\n\u201cI would recommend the board adopt this to give me more guidance and give the future superintendent more guidance,\u201d Segobiano said. \u201cIt could always be changed. But I think it\u2019s beneficial to keep it clear.\u201d\nBoard member Tammy Hines voted against the policy on the first and second readings.\n\u201cI\u2019d like to reiterate my disapproval with giving the superintendent the authority to spend $25,000 on a single item without board approval,\u201d Hines said.\nShe reasoned that with all the exemptions to this rule the change is not needed. She asked Segobiano for an example of something the district purchased recently that would not fall into any of the exemptions.\nSegobiano said she could not answer for sure without going back through the district\u2019s records, but technology expense items related to Chromebooks could approach that threshold.\n\u201cThere\u2019s not a lot,\u201d Segobiano said of items that would fall under this umbrella. \u201cIt\u2019s not like I authorize contracts of $25,000 often. This just gives me the latitude or the next superintendent the latitude.\u201d\nThe change is now board policy.\nIn a final financial matter, the board approved a resolution to provide tax abatement for the building at the 11 South complex.\nThe board signed a letter of intent to provide the 75 percent tax abatement in 2014 after it was approached by the city, county and developer Joe Koppeis about providing an abatement to incentivize development.\n\u201cThis truly was just an incentive for development,\u201d Segobiano said. \u201cEventually we are going to have great gains at the sacrifice of an early abatement loss.\u201d\nThe abatement continues for 10 years or until the total abatement comes to $1 million, whichever occurs first. The agreement only applies to the first two buildings at 11 South. The million dollar figure is for each building.\nIt is also contingent on no residential buildings being constructed at the site.\nThe district still receives 25 percent of the complex\u2019s property taxes. Before the development, Segobiano said the land netted the district about $50 in property taxes.\nThis marks the first year the complex has received a tax bill, Segobiano said.\nTo read more about the happenings at the Sept. 25 school board meeting related to facility projects going on in the district, see the story in next week\u2019s Republic-Times.\nColumbia special ed concerns discussed\nLocal schools rank among best in state",

        "raw_content": "Rick Warren is a pastor who not only preaches a life of generosity, but he lives it as well. When he and his wife Kay got married over 30 years ago, they started tithing. Every year, they made a commitment to increase that amount by half a percent, a percent, or more. Over the years, they gradually built up their giving to over 30% of their income.\nThe Warrens were practicing obedience to God's direction in their giving, and then suddenly in the mid-2000s, they became multi-millionaires after his book The Purpose-Driven Life became a national bestseller. Rick credits the success of his book to being a \"God thing.\" He believes God blessed this book because of he and Kay's faithfulness in giving and that God wanted to take them to a new level of stewardship in their finances.\nStewardship of Affluence\nSo now, the Warrens were faced with an interesting new challenge. They had millions of dollars. What should they do with all of this wealth? Buy a Hummer? Increase their standard of living? No. He and his wife decided they would not let prosperity change them. Instead, they made five concrete decisions regarding God's financial blessing.\nThe 5 Decisions of Rick and Kay Warren\nThey would not alter their lifestyle one bit. They would not buy a new home. They would not purchase a vacation home. They wouldn't buy a Hummer, boat, or jet ski. They would keep their life exactly the same as it had been.\nHe would stop taking a salary from Saddleback Church. He now served as senior pastor for free.\nHe added up the salary from Saddleback for 25 years of ministry and paid it all back! Pastor Rick wanted to be above reproach so that he could tell the media that he worked for free and did not get rich from serving at a mega-church.\nThey set up three different foundations to help the poor and needy in the world.\nThey became reverse tithers. God brought them to the place in their lives where they were able to give away 90% and live on 10%.\nAbout Rick Warren\nRick Warren is the founder and senior pastor of Saddleback Church, currently the eighth-largest church in the United States. He is also an author of many Christian books, including The Purpose Driven Church and The Purpose Driven Life, which has sold over 30 million copies, making Pastor Warren a New York Times bestselling author.\n[Note: the source of the information for this profile came from Rick Warren's testimony for Generous Giving]",

        "raw_content": "This photo showed up in my Facebook feed this morning and it has been taunting my subconscious all day. Given the time of the year, I think it is appropriate to address the importance of taking time for yourself.\nSo often we get lost in the hustle and bustle of life and combined with the stress of wanting or needing to get training sessions in can cause the same signs of over training. We may lose sleep (even though we are exhausted), elevated or suppressed morning HR, longer HR recovery periods, persistent illness or injury, and/or lack of confidence and overall lack of quantitative progress. Basically we turn into a burning ball of fury that is ready to explode on our loved ones or coworkers.\nAlthough many of us see the off season as a chance to work on our weaknesses, build strength or speed, or simply reassess our goals, I can\u2019t stress the importance of taking time for yourself \u2013 outside of training. Don\u2019t be afraid to take more active recovery days, restructure your microcycle, grab an extra massage, or simply go for a walk.\nPersonally, I have a workaholic, obsessive personality and it is very hard for me to break away from my routine. I remember going through a particularly challenging time in my life a few years ago when a friend said, \u201cjust come over and relax\u201d. My immediate answer was, \u201cand do what?\u201d. Wave the red flag. Just like you, I\u2019m a work in progress. I\u2019m becoming better at taking \u2018me-time\u2019, whether that is a walk with the dog in the dark, a coffee in the corner of coffee shop (please do still come and say hi if you see me hunkered down. I would love to chat.), or taking part in the latest coloring craze.\nSo when you find yourself overwhelmed with the holiday cluster, Christmas Eve shopping, in-laws, and cramming training sessions in, take a step back. Take care of #1 and the rest will fall into place.",

        "title": "2013's Most Interesting Financial Disclosures",
        "raw_content": "2013's Most Interesting Financial Disclosures\nAdriel Bettelheim\n@abettel\nThe annual congressional financial disclosure forms come in various sizes (from three pages to hundreds), styles (some are hand-written, others are farmed-out to third party accountants) and submissions (from on-time to extensions and even, possibly, amendments) with listed assets varying from college savings plans to professional sports teams.\nAs another year comes to an end, here is a look back at some of the most notable items gleaned from this year\u2019s forms, which report assets from the 2012 calendar year.\nSome folks are all over the place.\nThe varied portfolio of Rep. Jared Polis, D-Colo., includes stakes in Japanese retirement housing and a $2.85 million share of the world\u2019s only aquaculture venture capital firm, Aquacopia Venture Partners.\nOne of the biggest assets listed by Rep. Dianne Black, R-Tenn., is a $5 million to $25 million stake in Aegis Sciences Corp., which her husband founded as a sports anti-doping laboratory at Vanderbilt University and is now a full-service forensic science company.\nSome members dedicate significant holdings to their children.\nA member of the education panel, Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., reports a majority (54 percent) of his total assets as various savings accounts and education plans designated for his four children. His portfolio is rounded out with a Pennsylvania state employee pension plan (39 percent) and a few banking and investment accounts (11 percent).\nRepublican Rep. Blake Farenthold of Texas, 47th on the 50 Richest List, derives most of his net worth from a single trust set up by his grandmother to benefit his two children. The ABMH Management Trust is worth $5 million of his total net worth of $7.74 million.\nMany members invest in the food and beverage industry.\nSen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., has at least a $50,000 stake in the Churchill Coffee Company which describes itself as a \u201csmall batch roaster and retailer of fine coffees and teas\u201d located in Springfield, Mo. His wife Abigail works for Kraft Foods.\nRep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., had $1,000 to $15,000 invested in The Boston Beer Company, the maker of Samuel Adams brand that he sold in December of last year.\nThe \u2018poorest\u2019 member of Congress, freshman Rep. David Valadao, R-Calif., operates several dairy farms, a business started by his parents after emigrating from Portugal\u2019s Azores islands.\nOther members have focused on the entertainment and media businesses \u2014 with some successes and failures.\nA member of the 50 Richest list, freshman Rep. Suzan DelBene, D-Wash., invested in the low-budget comedy \u201cDumping Lisa\u201d that did so poorly that \u201cas of last year [it] was declared worthless.\u201d\nSen. Al Franken, D-Minn., a screenwriter and comedian who appeared on \u201cSaturday Night Live\u201d and Comedy Central, reports his self-titled multimedia company is worth at least $500,000 and also includes a million-dollar profit-sharing plan. He still receives royalties from SNL songs and merchandise and books including, \u201cRush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot.\u201d\nSen. Dan Coats, R-Ind., served as U.S. ambassador to Germany from 2001-05 and still invests in the Berlin-based Radio Paradiso, an easy-listening station.\nDonald Sussman, the husband of Rep. Chellie Pingree, D-Maine, has a controlling stake in Maine&apos;s largest newspaper company, Maine Today Media, which publishes the Portland Press Herald.\nSen. Herb Kohl, owner of the Milwaukee Bucks, retired at the end of the 112th Congress, but some current members still like to invest in professional sports teams.\nCindy McCain, the wife of Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., is a minority owner of the Arizona Diamondbacks. Her share of the company is worth between $500,000 and $1 million.\nAnother baseball team owner, Rep. James B. Renacci, R-Ohio, increased his stake in the Lancaster, Calif.-based JetHawks in 2012. The team also happened to win its first league championship last year. The businessman also co-owned the now-defunct arena football team the Columbus Destroyers.\nHouse Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and her husband had a $1 million to $5 million stake in the Sacramento Mountain Lions of the United Football League and also reported $50,000 to $100,000 in grape sales from a vineyard they own in St. Helena, Calif.\nAnother Californian, Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein, reported owning at least $1 million worth of OZ Fitness Inc., a health club chain in the Northwest.\nTopics: nationwide house-representatives-congress senate-congress icnw",

        "raw_content": "Student FUNDRAISERS from LEWISHAM College\nIn order to make grants to students, we have to raise money. More than 94% of the money raised goes directly to supporting individuals. Even quite small sums can make an enormous difference.\nCourse fees are rising sharply and adults, especially those with a first language other than English, find it increasingly difficult to finance their studies.\nChanges in funding for ESOL mean that many would-be learners cannot afford to study basic English, so essential to their future in the UK.\nMany others with sufficient language skills also cannot afford to study on vocational or academic courses, as they are unable to meet the increasing course, exam and essential materials costs.\nThe Ruth Hayman Trust is one of the few charities that can help. We can open doors to education and training, allowing people to build new lives and use their skills to contribute to UK society. We support students on a wide range of courses, recently, for example, Security, Beauty Therapy, Plumbing, Hairdressing, Music Technology and all levels of ESOL.\nThose who have received our grants testify how even small amounts have changed their lives:\nN was awarded a \u00a3170 grant to pay IELTS exam fees required for university entrance. It opened the doors to a BSc course in pharmacy and prospects for a successful career.\nZ from Bangladesh who has young children and desperately needs to learn basic ESOL. Her husband\u2019s low-paid restaurant job means they\u2019re unable to afford the high fees for her to learn English, so essential for life in the UK.\nP, who was a doctor in the Republic of Congo. He can\u2019t afford exam fees for both the English exam and the medical test required to practise here. Without financial support, his skills will be wasted.\nA, a young Afghan refugee with limited income needing financial support to study electronic engineering and gain skills for work.

        "raw_content": "You are here: Home / Keep Paulson On?\nKeep Paulson On?\nI\u2019m in a bipartisan mood, although I\u2019m sure it won\u2019t last long.\nBut as long as it does, I should mention that if he wins, it might well behoove a President Obama to keep Henry Paulson on as Treasury Secretary. No one really knows what to do about the financial meltdown, but Paulson seems to have the confidence of the markets as well as anyone, and seems to be doing as competent a job as can be done about it.\nPaulson also comes with credentials that any Democratic President should like. He\u2019s a strong environmentalist, who has spoken out loudly on the climate change issue, and has hired some very smart people at the Treasury (such as Resources for the Future\u2019s William Pizer) to work on the issue. He puts his money where his mouth is, at least to some extent: his campaign contributions are almost universally Republican, but he has given several thousand dollars to the League of Conservation Voters PAC. Interestingly, shortly after becoming Treasury Secretary, Paulson also said that one of his priorities was narrowing economic inequality; I don\u2019t know how sincere he is about that, but most Republicans think that even mentioning it is akin to Marxism.\nMoreover, it\u2019s useful that Paulson seems to have excellent contacts and working relationships with China, which will be America\u2019s most challenging bilateral relationship for the next decades.\nWhen John Kennedy became President, he installed Republican Douglas Dillon in Cabinet. Which position? Treasury. If Paulson can be loyal to a President Obama, it\u2019s something to strongly consider.\nFiled Under: Uncategorized Tagged With: Climate change, Politics and Leadership",

This is particularly true in the context of the eighteenth century, when the techniques, technologies and practices of alcohol consumption grew to become more complex than in any previous period of history. Of particular note in eighteenth-century drinking practice is the widely popular and inherently sociable consumption of punch, characterised and exemplified in the variety and quantity of purpose manufactured vessels and paraphernalia produced as part of a specific technology of punch-drinking.\nThis paper focusses on an examination of one facet of punch consumption, punch bowls; and in particular, punch bowls produced during the second half of the eighteenth century to celebrate the radical politician John Wilkes. This study integrates textual and artefactual sources, employing a methodology derived from the work of Hall (2006, 2009) and Johnson (2006, 1999) to elucidate the hidden transcripts of punch drinking in the context of the Wilkes and Liberty movement. This paper explores the ways in which Wilkes themed punch bowls were instrumental both in cementing together communities of Wilkeite sympathisers through shared experiences and also in helping to code social interactions according to social standing, gender and politics.\nAs a series of case studies, this paper explores the role of the Wilkes and Liberty punch Bowls in identity formation, power relations which are situated at the forefront of historical archaeological research. These themes are particularly relevant in the context of the eighteenth century when society, economy and culture were in flux and people sought to define, renegotiate and assert their identities as both individuals and members of communities.\nThis session is organised by the Early Modern Discussion Group.

        "raw_content": "You are here: Home / Schuylkill County Fire Chiefs Association / Schuylkill County I.M.T.\nSchuylkill County Incident Management Team Type 5\nFollowing the experience of many County fires and other disasters (Flooding) in the past years, one of the emerging priorities within the Schuylkill County EMA and Schuylkill County Fire Chiefs association has been developing an Incident Management Team\nInitially starting as verbal discussions, the idea grew into a meeting of the Schuylkill County EMA and the Schuylkill County Fire Chiefs Association working group. The Working Group decided that it would develop and present a proposal to the County Chiefs association members. The thought behind the Working Group\u2019s IMT development was that during any type of natural or Man-made disaster/emergency within the County, many jurisdictions would become overwhelmed in very short order. Many jurisdictions within the County have small populations and their first response agencies are composed of mainly volunteers, or with individuals that serve in more than one position (i.e. Fire Chief and Local Emergency Management Coordinator).\nBuilding a system that will provide consistent support during an emergency is a priority. The IMT will be a trained, multi-discipline, all hazards response resource for an affected jurisdiction to draw on to assist their staff with command, control and incident management functions. The IMT will be trained to fill these roles in both tactical field operations and in an Emergency Operations Center. The IMT will be developed so that they would be able to be fully self-sustained, not drawing any resources from the requesting jurisdiction. Throughout our County an incident that would require the activation of an IMT would also make it impossible for that jurisdiction to provide any support to that team. Therefore, the IMT will come as a complete package, able to meet all of their personal and work needs, for that time period.\nLocal and Regional Incident Management Team (Type 4 and 5)\nA Local or Regional IMT (Type 4 or 5) is a single and/or multi-agency team for expanded incidents typically formed and managed at the city or county level or by a pre-determined regional entity. It is a designated team of 7-10 trained personnel that responds to incidents that are typically contained within one operational period or usually within a few hours after resources initially arrive on scene. The Local IMT may be dispatched to manage or help manage incidents requiring a significant number of local and mutual aid resources. Incidents that a Local IMT may be utilized at include major structure fires, multi-vehicle crashes with multiple patients, armed robbery operations, or a hazmat spill. The Local IMT may also be used at public events. Local IMTs may initially manage larger, more complex incidents prior to arrival of an All-Hazard IMT or a Type 1 or 2 IMT.\nWhat is the Schuylkill County Incident Management Team (IMT)?\nThe IMT (Type 5) is a group of emergency responders from various response disciplines and specialties that have received extensive training and experience with response and management of large-scale and specialized events. The IMT is an \u201call-hazards\u201d team that can assist local responders with everything from major fires or natural disasters, to planning for specialized events. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is also in the process of training and establishing a Type 3 incident management team for use at longer-term events with multiple operational periods.\nMinimum requirements for Schuylkill County IMT Application include Four years experience in a Command position, completion of Incident Safety Officer (ISO), Incident Command System (NIMS ICS for the Fire Service), NIMS 300, and ICS for Emergency Operation Center course.\n1) The application may be submitted to:\nThe Schuylkill County Fire Chiefs Association IMT Application Committee\nJohn Matz, Frank Zangari and Jim Misstishin.\nQuestions about the application should be directed to any of the IMT Committee members or John Matz Schuylkill County Emergency Management Coordinator.\n2) Once the application is received it will be reviewed by the IMT Committee and if approved the candidate will be notified directly from the IMT committee to establish an interview appointment with you. When notified of the interview please provide copies of the documentation requested as per the application form. Copies should be given to the interview committee at the time of your scheduled interview.\n3) After the Committee interview your application will be signed off and forwarded to the Schuylkill County Emergency Management Coordinator for his/her review. Upon his/her completion the candidate application will be signed off and the candidate notified.",

        "raw_content": "Information Technology and knowledge industries provide the basis for all modern business and government. An Australian degree in IT is a passport to the global community. Our graduates, ranging from technical specialists to the heads of large multinational IT focussed companies, are found throughout the world. A sound knowledge of IT is increasingly important to most professionals and for many, a solid grounding in IT is an excellent foundation not only for IT professionals but also for a later career in many other fields such as management.\nThere are around 40 universities throughout Australia which offer degrees under the broad umbrella of information technology. These range from fairly theoretical computer science courses through information technology to more business oriented information systems. Some universities have faculties of Information Technology, in others there is a joint Faculty of Engineering and IT, and degrees in Information Systems are sometimes found in Business faculties. That provides the international student with a wide range of choices of location, size of school, and educational approach. A student can study at a large metropolitan university in one of the state capitals or choose a university located in one of the major regional centres throughout Australia.\nAlso popular are joint degrees between IT and Business, Law, Engineering or other fields of study. Associated with IT, many universities offer a variety of excellent multimedia, graphics and games courses. Graduates from these courses are in high demand and have been particularly successful local and internationally winning many awards including Oscars for film animation.\nStudents may study at the undergraduate level, usually a three year degree with an optional Honours year. Some universities also offer formal work experience in the IT industry as part of the degree. This ranges from a short project with an industry client to a full paid year, Diploma of IT Professional Practice. Even more popular with international students is postgraduate study in IT. Generally this is a two year Masters degree by coursework. Most universities offer professional Masters, that is Masters for those who already have an undergraduate degree in IT and also conversion Masters, for students whose undergraduate degree is in a field other than IT.\nUniversity degrees in IT in Australia undergo a stringent accreditation process with the Australian Computer Society (ACS)#. This assures quality and the maintenance of standards against national and international benchmarks. Depending on the length, breadth and depth of the degrees, accreditation may be at the professional or the associate level. Graduation from an accredited degree provides eligibility for membership of the ACS at the appropriate grade. Membership is also reciprocal with many other national computing societies.\nAs well as high quality coursework degrees, many universities also have a strong research focus, allowing students the chance to participate in leading edge research activities and centres while studying for a PhD or Masters by research. Many research groups have strong international links while others may work closely with leading edge industries. In either case, research students have opportunities to broaden their study outside their immediate university research environment.\nAustralian IT graduates may be found in focussed IT companies from the biggest multinationals to tiny startups or in the IT departments of many organizations such as banks, airlines, manufacturing or government. While some work in very technical positions, many work as analysts and project managers and as part of teams so working with people is an important part of many IT careers. For the foreseeable future, there is a huge shortage of IT professionals across Australia, both in the Government and private sectors and in most other countries, both developed and developing. There are insufficient IT graduates worldwide to fill these positions so now is an excellent time to do an IT degree.\nAustralia is a great place to study! The high standard of living, a fast growing economy, political stability and tolerance, multi-cultural society, natural beauty and mild climate all contribute to the Australian lifestyle which is culturally rich, outdoors oriented and definitely relaxed. International students comprise 25% of the Australian student population, up from around 10% ten years ago. More and more international students are taking up the opportunity to benefit from the world class education and enjoyable experience that Australia offers.",

I thought, this is what it must have been like in the early 80\u2019s! Urban Legend was one of the few that stood out in the crowd with a decent premise and good cast. I visited these locations over three years ago, which shows you how behind I am on posting. But as this is the 20th anniversary of the film, I thought I had no excuse but to finally get to publishing some location photos.\nThe film was shot in Toronto, Canada and used a couple different locations for the school. The photos throughout are from only the locations I was able to visit on this trip. Our first shot is of Victoria University\u2019s alumni hall, located at 73 Queen Park's Crescent.\nFor the next scene we move to a different campus, Humber College. This is the G Building Centre for Entrepeneurship located at 3155 Lake Shore Boulevard West in Etobicoke, Ontario.\nThe building has been used in many films but most famously in the original Police Academy.\nWe move back to the University of Toronto St. George campus for the next few scenes. I\u2019m not sure why I couldn\u2019t get into this particular hallway at the time\u2026\nSeveral scenes occur at Knox College on the campus at 59 St. George Street in Toronto. As you may be able to tell, this building was closed for renovations during my visit so I was only able to get a few shots through the window.\nNearby on campus is the quad as the girls walk to the\u2026.\n\u2026the back of Diablos Coffee Bar located at 15 King\u2019s College Circle in Toronto.\nPart of the same building but on the entrance is the main building on the St. George campus.\nBack to Knox College. Fortunately I was able to make my way into this hallway.\nKnox College was also featured in the the tv series, Hannibal.\nOn yet another side of the main building on the St. George campus is this entrance.\nThey continue walking until they are right across from the student union as seen in the last shot, which is located at 12 Hart House Circle.\nWe move back to Humber College for this next location, also featured in Police Academy. This is known as the Cumberland House and is directly across from Building G.\nAnother building I couldn\u2019t get into during my visit, but within here is the \u2018radio station\u2019 location.\nBack to Building G on the Humber College campus. As you can see, lots of construction kept me from getting a lot of shots\u2026\nOne area I couldn\u2019t get into was by the side of the building seen in the finale\u2026\nAs with a lot of horror films, I\u2019ve been blessed to meet many of the actors and crew\u2026.\nTagged: Urban Legend, filming location, Toronto, horrors hallowed grounds\nNewer PostBlack Christmas (1974)\nOlder PostLooker (1981)",

        "raw_content": "Filed Under: Constitution Educational Series Tagged With: amendment, congress, constitution, founding fathers, gut and replace, obamacare, origination, ratify, roger sherman, Supreme Court\nRoger Sherman, Originator of the Great Compromise\nPart 1 examined the history and purpose of the US Constitution\u2018s Origination Clause. Part 2 introduced the Senate practice of \u201cgut and replace\u201d that pretends to comply with the Origination Clause. This article explains why \u201cgut and replace\u201d violates the Constitution.[1]\nThe Origination Clause provides that laws for raising revenue[2] must have started in the House of Representatives and that the Senate may agree to a House bill that raises revenue or offer amendments. The Clause, in Article I, Section 7 reads as follows:\nWhy the Origination Clause is Part of the Constitution\nThe Origination Clause became part of the Constitution for two reasons:\nTo create an institutional protection for citizens against onerous taxation.\nTo balance the interests of the large and small states as part of the \u201cGreat Compromise\u201d, proposed by Roger Sherman of Connecticut during the 1787 Constitutional Convention.\nThe institutional protection for citizens against taxes was giving the power to introduce tax bills to the House of Representatives, whose members represented the smallest number of voters and were elected to the shortest terms. The interests of the states were balanced by giving the privilege of introducing tax bills to the House, where the large states have the most representatives[3] and by giving the ability to propose or amend House revenue bills to the Senate, where the small states have equal representation.\nSenate Rules Allowing \u201cGut and Replace\u201d of House \u201cBills for Raising Revenue\u201d\nThe idea that those closest to the people and facing election most often would make those members the most responsible when it came to generating revenue was a sound one, grounded not just in theory, but in historical practice in England and the colonies. Politicians however tend to gather power and taxation is the greatest power government possesses. The Senate established a method that pretends to honor the limits of the Origination Clause, while in reality the Senate creates its own revenue bills.\nThe process is called \u201cgut and replace\u201d. Relying on the Rulemaking Clause,[4] as a practical matter, the Senate originates \u201cbills to raise revenue\u201d. Employing \u201cgut and replace\u201d, the Senate takes a House originated revenue bill, removes all of the House language, keeps the House designated bill number and replaces the language with the Senate\u2019s language. A legal fiction is created to avoid the commands of the Origination Clause.[5]\nReading the Constitution In Line With Its Purpose\nThe Constitution, at its heart, is a power of attorney, where the people are the master and grant specific authority to their servant,[6] the government. An overriding principle of a power of attorney is that the servant has a fiduciary[7] duty to the master. The master grants specific authority for a specific purpose and may place limits on that authority. The servant\u2019s duty is to exercise the authority within its limits to achieve the purpose of the master.\nThe Constitution\u2019s purpose is to establish a government to protect the natural rights of the people as outlined in the Declaration of Independence. The government\u2019s duty is to fulfill that purpose by exercising the authority granted by the people within constitutional limits. These core principles are critical in thinking about the Rulemaking and Origination Clauses.\nBasic Rules for Reading the Constitution\nThere are basic rules involved in reading powers of attorney and other legal documents to determine meaning.[8] The Federalist Papers and proponents of ratification relied upon such rules when explaining the Constitution during the Ratification process. Members of the state ratifying conventions relied upon these rules in voting on the Constitution.\nExamples of such rules are: \u201ca servant\u2019s power is limited to that granted by the master\u201d, \u201ca grant of authority is further limited by language regarding that authority later in the document\u201d, \u201cno word in a document is without meaning\u201d, or \u201ca document is to be read to fulfill its purpose\u201d.[9] Such rules are to be kept in mind when reading the Constitution and its parts such as the Rulemaking and Origination Clauses.\nWhy \u201cGut and Replace\u201d is Inconsistent with the Origination Clause\nKeeping in mind the purposes of the Constitution and the Origination clause[10] and the rules of construction, here is the constitutional problem with \u201cgut and replace\u201d in bullet points:\n\u00b7The Rulemaking Clause appears in Art. I, sec. 5: \u201cEach House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings\u201d\n\u00b7The Origination Clause appears at Art. I, sec. 7\n\u00b7Since the Origination Clause (a limitation) appears after the Rulemaking Clause (a grant of authority) it is a specific limitation on Rulemaking.\n\u00b7The phrase: \u201cAll bills for raising revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives\u2026\u201d is specific language limiting Rulemaking.[11]\n\u00b7The phrase: \u201c\u2026 but the Senate may propose or concur with amendments \u2026\u201d is another specific limit on Rulemaking.[12]\n\u00b7The phrase: \u201c\u2026as on other bills\u201d is a further limit on the Senate rulemaking, because the Senate is without power to add revenue amendments to other bills.[13]\n\u00b7Senate Rules developed the \u201cgut and replace\u201d practice.\n\u00b7Gut and replace\u201d gives the Senate the practical ability to originate a \u201cbill for raising revenue\u201d and amending a House-originated bill to add revenue is beyond the Senate\u2019s authority \u201cas on other bills\u201d.\nThe Senate rule of \u201cgut and replace\u201d frustrates the purpose of the Origination Clause to place responsibility for taxes squarely upon the representatives closest to the people with the most frequent elections. The Senate rule allowing \u201cgut and replace\u201d makes the language of the Origination Clause meaningless and no word in the Constitution is to be without meaning.\nThe Impact of Violating the Origination Clause\nThere has been only a single case to find a law in violation of the Origination Clause in American history. Judge Hough, referring to the law he found unconstitutional, said in Hubbard v. Lowe:\nSuch would be the case of any law passed in violation of the Origination Clause, as was the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare).\nPaul Kamenar, an attorney who represents 40 Members of the House in supporting an Origination Clause challenge to the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) discussed the clause and the case on Constitutionally Speaking.\n[1]The Origination Clause is probably unknown to most Americans, but should be understood, because two cases Sissel v. HHS and Hotze v. Sebelius are working their way towards the Supreme Court. These cases may result in the entire Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) being declared in violation of the Origination Clause and unconstitutional.\n[2]\u201cRevenue\u201d is the language of the Constitution, and over time the courts have limited application of the Origination Clause by different designations of government collections as fines, fees, penalties or taxes. Most people, not lawyers or legislators would think of any mandatory revenue collection by government as a \u201ctax\u201d.\n[3]The House of Representatives has the most members (currently fixed at 435) and those members are divided among the states according to population. Each state has two Senators regardless of population.\n[4]The Rulemaking Clause is found in the Constitution\u2019s Article I, Section 5: \u201cEach House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings.\u201d\n[5]Most people, again, other than lawyers and legislators, would believe a law passed after being \u201cgutted and replaced\u201d by the Senate would have \u201coriginated\u201d in the Senate.\n[6]The reference to master/servant is a phrase from a bygone age. More modern language talks of principal/agent. It is more satisfying to use master/servant in the context of the relationship of people/government.\n[7] A \u201cfiduciary\u201d is a person in whom is placed the utmost trust and confidence to manage and protect property or money. The duties of a fiduciary include loyalty and reasonable care of the assets within his custody. A fiduciary\u2019s actions are performed for the advantage of the beneficiary. The agent appointed by a power of attorney agreement is a fiduciary.\n[8]These principles are often referred to as \u201crules of construction\u201d. They are used to determine what was meant by someone who created a document such as a will, a power of attorney, a contract, a law or a constitution.\n[9]These are paraphrased examples to make the essence clear. Rules such as these developed over hundreds of years and remain in use today.\n[10]The Constitution\u2019s overriding purpose is securing the rights of the people while limiting the authority of the government. The Origination Clause furthers that purpose by limiting the institution of tax plans to that part of the government designed to be most responsive to the people.\n[11]Despite the authority for each house to make rules on how to proceed, neither house can make a rule that allows revenue bills to originate in the Senate.\n[12]The Supreme Court, in one of the few cases in which it has considered the Origination Clause, approved a Senate amendment to a House revenue bill because the amendment was \u201cgermane\u201d or relevant to the original House bill.\n[13]Because of the limits of the first phrase of the Origination Clause.\n[\u2026] Origination Clause. Part 2 explains the Senate procedure of \u201dgut and replace\u201d. Part 3 explains why \u201cgut and replace\u201d violates the [\u2026]\n[\u2026] or agreeing. Over time operation of The Origination Clause has been less than straightforward. Part 3 discusses how the Senate\u2019s use of a process called \u201cgut and replace\u201d to avoid the [\u2026]\n[\u2026] The Origination Clause places responsibility for tax policy with the House of Representatives whose members have the shortest terms and represent the fewest citizens. The Senate practice of \u201cgut and replace\u201d frustrates the Origination Clause and exercises Senate power that the Constitution denies. [\u2026]\nAmendments | penshorngov2015hca says:\n[\u2026] I honestly see no reasoning behind refusing to allow the equally-represented assembly to create tax bills and things of that nature. In fact, the Senate seems more fair than the House of Representatives (yes, I prefer the New Jersey Plan as well) because of states\u2019 rights. No state should be considered more valuable than another state if the U.S. really is united. I doubt this would garner widespread support, because the House of Representatives would have to pass a bill that removes the specialness of one of their privileges. (link) [\u2026]",

        "title": "Sometimes Foodie: Instant Corn Potage Soup - H-Mart: Cherry Hill, NJ",
        "raw_content": "Instant Corn Potage Soup - H-Mart: Cherry Hill, NJ\nI woke up this morning, looked outside my window, and everything was covered in snow. We only got two inches, and I know many of you get a LOT more snow in your area and my piddly little amount is nothing to complain about, but I just hate winter. I'm a total Scrooge about the holidays and I hate being cold. Snow is fun when you're a little kid. You sometimes get out of school, you have snowball fights, build forts, it's magical and whimsical and fun. Once you have your own car, and your college or job won't close unless it's the end of times, and even then you're lucky if you get a 2-hour delay, snow looses a lot of it's appeal.\nSince it's cold and snowy, what better way to warm up than with a bowl of soup?\nCorn Potage is a soup that was originally French, but adopted and tweaked by the Japanese to suit their tastes and preferences. It's quite popular, you can buy hot Corn Potage in vending machines, there are instant packets (like these) in the markets, and you can even buy crispy snacks with this flavoring. I've actually never tried Corn Potage in it's true, soup-y, form. A long time ago I bought a snack pack from the Asian Food Market that had several Umaibo sticks. Although a lot of the flavors were not really my taste, like Veggie Salad, there was one flavor that I really enjoyed, and that was the Corn Potage. I liked it so much, I decided to buy some of the actual soup to see if the taste was really the same.\nOkay, enough rambling, it's review time!\nThe packaging is a bright yellow color, which obviously goes with the overall corn-flavoring, and it's layout is really appealing. I love the images used, the soup looks really appetizing, especially with it being so cold, and the colors are warm and inviting. I'm not sure if this is a popular brand for this product, but out of all the options that were on the shelf at H-Mart, this was definitely the prettiest. (Which is why I tossed it into my cart.)\nInside are three foiled instant soup packets. Is it just me, or do these look like giant ramen seasoning packets?\nI poured the contents of one packet into a bowl, added the recommended 5oz of boiling water, stirred, and it was time to eat! Doesn't get much easier than that. Just add water and you're good to go.\nThe finished soup is really thin and watery, not as thick as it appears on the box, and there are a few pieces of (now) re-hydrated freeze-dried corn.The soup is kind of cloudy and doesn't look all that yummy, but maybe it'll taste better than it looks?\nI took a sip, and it was sweet, salty, slightly creamy, and a bit onion-y. Not bad! I like the flavoring, and it was pretty much the same as the dusty coating on the Umaibo sticks I loved so much, but it's just not filling. There is no way you could eat a bowl of this soup and feel full afterwards. I think this is a food item that's more about warming you up than being a meal on it's own. It's just too thin, and there's barely any corn in it.\nIf I had the opportunity to order this from a hot vending machine on a cold day, I'd definitely do it! The corn and onion flavoring is really nice, and I really love the taste, but I think this meant to be a savory option to buying a hot cup of tea or coffee. This soup just doesn't have enough substance to be a meal. (Also it might give you onion breath, there's no one here to confirm that for me, but my mouth is tasting pretty onion-y right now.) If you like Panera's Summer Corn Chowder, or the Corn Potage Umaibo sticks, this soup is for you. I'd buy it again for sure, although I am kind of tempted to make my own and see if I can make it a bit more hearty.\nLabels: corn, food blog, food porn, food review, h-mart, onion, savory, sometimes foodie, soup, vegetable, veggie, winter",

        "raw_content": "Back to Archived blog posts. Jennings does not want another beating\nJohn Jennings, who lost to John Hostettler 45% to 53% in last year's Congressional race, has decided not to run against Hostettler a second time.\nThe other 2% in the 2004 race went to the Libertarian candidate. It has never made any sense to me why Libertarians are determined to challenge Hostettler, who is one of the most consistent advocates for limited government in Congress. The best that Libertarians can hope for is to play spoiler, ensuring that the winner of the 8th District does not share the principles espoused by the \"party of principle\".\nWhile Indiana's 8th Congressional district is always competitive due to the makeup of the district, John Hostettler is making it less \"bloody\" than it used to be. Hostettler has now won six consecutive elections, starting with his narrow defeat of Frank McCloskey in 1994 and his nail-biter against Jonathan Weinzapfel in 1996.\nHostettler does generate fierce opposition, however, especially from the left wing of the Democratic Party. In October of 1997, forest-protection activists brought a chainsaw to a Halloween-themed protest and ran it in the doorway of Hostettler's Bloomington office.\nThe two best opportunities Democrats had to unseat Hostettler were in 1996 (Members of Congress are traditionally most vulnerable after their first term) and 2002, when Hostettler's district was redrawn. Hostettler will have the advantage of popular Republican incumbent Secretary of State Todd Rokita at the top of the ticket. If Richard Lugar runs for re-election, his traditionally huge margin of victory will help Hostettler as well.\nBarring the unlikely event of a major Democratic year in 2006, I expect Hostettler will again retain his seat.",

        "raw_content": "Back to Archived blog posts. Eleven wins, zero losses\nThe Indianapolis Welfare Queens (also known as the Indianapolis Colts) defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers to go to 11-0. Now the Welfare Queens have an opportunity to be the first unbeaten team since the 1972 Miami Dolphins, although they might not go for the record because they want to keep the players healthy for the playoffs.\nWith or without the starters sitting on the bench, I won't be cheering them on. The Welfare Queens convinced state government to allow them to fleece Hoosier taxpayers in the form of a Food and Beverage Tax earlier this year.\nIt would be nice to be able to root for the hometown team. It would be nice to see Payton Manning win a Super Bowl ring to go along with his individual accomplishments; there is no doubt he is one of the best quarterbacks in NFL history. Manning is a lock for the Hall of Fame. I cannot, however, root for a team that is determined to take money out of the taxpayers' collective wallets, and threatened to leave Indiana if they did not get their way. Since the Welfare Queens have displayed a lack of loyalty to Indiana, I do not have loyalty to them.\nYes, there are a lot of pro sports teams that gladly accept corporate welfare. That does not, however, make it right. Every person that goes to a restaurant around Indianapolis, whether they enjoy football or not, will now pay a little bit more. Millionaires and billionaires acted like children, threatening to take their ball and go elsewhere if they did not get what they wanted. I say the legislature should have called their bluff.\nSee previous posts from January and June of this year.",

        "raw_content": "Dogs are called man\u2019s best friend for a reason. Not only do they show love and companionship when we need it the most, but they can also sense when we are in danger. In Sevier County, Tennessee, one family dog not only saved a family member from danger, but he saved a toddler from certain death.\nMeet Shiloh, the Australian Shepherd that belongs to the Holloway family. Ever since the Holloway\u2019s welcomed their son Bryson 18 months ago, he and Shiloh have been completely inseparable. Bryson\u2019s father, Bryan, said that Shiloh and Bryson do everything together, and that as much as Shiloh \u201cloves everybody else, those two, the baby and that dog, have a bond.\u201d\nLike they do on most days, Shiloh and Bryson were spending time outside playing fetch with the rest of the family outside, as well. Bryson had stepped off of the back porch like normal when Shiloh exhibited some unusual behavior. Bryan Holloway said that the dog \u201cjumped up and took off after him. He lunged right towards the baby and at the baby\u2019s feet, and when he did he kind of jerked back.\u201d\nThe Holloway\u2019s were confused as to what Shiloh saw that made him act so strange. That\u2019s when Bryan hopped up and saw a snake near his son and dog. \u201cAs soon as I saw it\u2026I knew it was a copperhead,\u201d Bryan said. That was when Bryan told his wife, Alicia, to grab baby Bryson and take him in the house. Alicia was still confused as to what was happening and admitted that she was scared.\nThe copperhead snake is a venomous species that can grow up to three feet long and their bites can cause a lot of harm to humans, and it would be especially deadly to a baby. Normally, a copperhead will issue a warning bite without venom and aren\u2019t all that aggressive, but that\u2019s not a chance you want to take with a toddler.\nWhen Bryson had been taken to safety and Bryan had assessed the situation, he knew that his beloved dog Shiloh had been bit since he was \u201cTurning his head to the side and shaking his head.\u201d Even with all of the fur around Shiloh\u2019s neck, it was obvious that he had been bitten since the swelling was already visible.\nThe Holloway family took Shiloh to get immediate medical attention, where a veterinarian gave the Aussie antibiotics and pain medicine to treat the bite. It didn\u2019t take long until Shiloh was back on his feet and hanging out with his best buddy once again. The family had always been appreciative of Shiloh, but now more than ever since their son likely wouldn\u2019t have survived a bite from a copperhead.\nAlicia Holloway said that \u201cWe give God the glory in everything, and we know that he used that dog, that wonderful dog, to protect him, and we\u2019re thankful every day for him now.\u201d They did not mention, however, how many treats Shiloh got on his return home, but we can guess that it was quite a few.",

        "raw_content": "Why I'm not running\nEvery single month I say I'm going to start running at the beginning of the next month. And then I don't. So I say I'll start the following month. And then I don't. So I say.....you get the idea. I have not quite been able to figure out why I keep doing this. I love to run. I want to run. I mentally ready to run. Yet I don't. Every month I come up with all kinds of lame excuses. My constant one lately is that I need to lose weight before I can run. Hello!! I ran when I weighed 225 lbs!!! If I could run then I can run now. So what's stopping me? I honestly didn't know until I read a post the other day by another blogger.\nWhen I started this whole journey I was 225 lbs and bound and determined to lose weight. I wanted to be a runner. That was one of my many motivations. I. Wanted. To. Run. So I started running. Initially I didn't know if I was an overpronator or underpronator I just ran. I did buy good shoes but not the best ones by far. I did great for a few years. I did a lot of running and I was started to get pretty good. The more I ran the more expensive shoes I went for. And now I started looking at things like stability and such. Then I started having problems. Sprained ankles. IT band. Plantar. One right after the other. It got so bad at one point that I would cry when I walked. I ended up going to a chiro to get fixed and he prescribed orthotics - which I got. Even after I felt better my running was just never the same. I could never figure out why that was. I felt great yet I didn't run as much. Why??? I think I just realized (reading someone else's story) that I am scared of injury. The last time I ran consistently I ended up in so much pain and I don't want that to happen again. I'm not sure what I'm going to do about it but as they say, knowledge is power...... Time to figure out what to do....",

        "raw_content": "Successful outsourcing doesn\u2019t just mean selecting the right service provider; you also need an effective stay back team in place. The stay back team is the cornerstone of any outsourcing initiative and is an important link between your corporation\u2019s business and the service provider, not only from the onset of the RFP process and ensuing re-organization when the contract is awarded, but also for ongoing management of the services.\nThe stay back team should be established as early in the process as you can, so the team can be involved from the beginning, giving them the knowledge they need to manage the service provider when they are selected.\nThis is an important consideration, since an outsourcing initiative includes many steps from the decision to the selection and transition of the successful service provider. For the most part, these steps are sequential, and unless your stay back team has been involved in each step along the way, you will lose the continuity and knowledge necessary to effectively manage the contract and the relationship.\nEven so, managing the outsourcing relationship requires flexibility, since not everything can or will be reflected in the contract. The relationships between the service provider and Stay-Back-Team has to be flexible enough to enable changes as the contract progresses.\nRole of the stay back team\nThe role of the stay back team can vary depending on the overall goals of your corporation and the exact nature of the outsourcing initiative, but the core role related to the outsourcing initiative will remain the same \u2013 managing and administering the contractual relationship between your corporation and your service provider.\nGenerally speaking, in any large outsourcing initiative the stay back team performs the following important functions:\nAsset Management / Strategic Planning.\nContract management / administration (including Performance Measurement).\nCoordinating the linkages between the service provider and the corporation.\nOther Facility Management functions retained in-house.\nWhen you hire a professional organization to manage your facility functions, it is important to let the service provider do its job. The stay back team should then concentrate on \"long term\" activities like Asset Management and Strategic Planning, in addition to monitoring the service providers\u2019 performance.\nEven if you outsource Asset Management/Strategic Planning activities to the service provider, a member of the stay back team needs to both oversee the activity and interface with the corporation due to the interrelationships between the facilities and the core business.\nThese new roles may be a fundamental shift for the stay back team members. A typical challenge faced by the stay back team is that the team often used to be the doers, and now they have to change their mindset. This includes \u2018letting go\u2019 of the details of how the service is delivered and focussing more on the strategic issues and outcomes that add value to the corporation.\nIn fulfilling this role, the interaction with the service provider becomes critical, since the service provider in an outsourcing initiative provides a much broader scope of services than with sub-contracting or out-tasking, and includes a larger management component to the service. There must be trust between the service provider and Stay Back Team, since a positive relationship is an important element of a successful outsourcing initiative. The stay back team has an important interface role for the Service provider by:\nTranslating the corporate objectives and goals for the Service provider\nAligning the contractual relationship and objectives for the service provider with those of the corporation\u2019s objectives.\nDefining expectations and priorities\nEstablish short/long term objectives\nWhile the term \u2018Partner\u2019 is embraced by some and avoided by others in their Outsourcing initiatives, the fact remains that your service provider will likely be much closer to the internal \u2018customer\u2019 than you are, and has a major influence on the success of your corporation\u2019s core business. Partnership (in the non-legal sense) is critical to ensure that the service provider is successful, which will ultimately make your outsourcing initiative successful. The most successful organizations take this approach in managing their outsourcing contract. The best way is to work as a team, searching together for solutions that will fulfill both parties' needs.",

        "raw_content": "\"What do you think about adoption?\"\nI started getting this question when I was in college. It made sense; I was getting to the age that I had friends thinking about starting their own families, and anyone who knew my family (at all) knew that I had plenty of experience with adoptions.\nWhat? You don't think that we get mistaken for each other all the time?\nI love my siblings way more than I have words to say. Sometimes when I think about them I'm overcome with the thought that they could have so easily not been my siblings. That I could have not known them. (Which, I guess, is true of any human, more or less, but you catch my drift.) They are such an integral part of me that I'm really not sure who I'd be like without them. We really are our own tiny subculture, complete with one word jokes that can lead to minutes of laughter. (Souffle?)\nBut I hesitate when I get questioned what I think about adoption.\nBecause there isn't an easy answer.\nThere is always a but involved.\nI think adoption shows the heart of God. I believe it teaches us how to better understand God's love for us and is obedient to His will that we care for those who can't take care of themselves.\nThe thing any decision that you make is that you don't know what consequences will come of it. Adoption has wonderful consequences.\nIt can also have effects that will hurt and hurt for years to come.\nIn some ways, it's the same as any other decision for a Christian. You should seek to obey God, knowing that it will likely be difficult, knowing that He is going to use your obedience for His glory and your eternal good.\nWhen people ask me about adoption, I want to tell them to count the cost. There's a financial cost, the sacrificial costs that come with parenting, but there are other possible costs that don't get talked about a lot, maybe because they are so hard to understand until you've lived through them.\nThere are times when you love as much as you possibly can in every way that you possibly can and it isn't enough.\nThere are things that will never fix to being \"normal.\"\nWhen my coworkers joking ask how I stay so calm in the middle of insanity (aka lunch rush), I want to tell them, \"You have no idea.\"\nWhen I find someone else who has a sibling with reactive attachment disorder, I feel like I found a missing sibling of my own. We speak a common language.\nAnd when people ask me what I think about adoption, I hesitate.\nHere are four quotes that are \"linked\" in my mind to my thoughts about the hard parts about having grown up in an adoptive family. (Rereading these as I post them, I think they apply to a lot of situations where we assume that we know someone else's backstory.)\nNow that you know this is my life\nI won't be told what's supposed to be right.\n[from \"Catch My Breath\" by Kelly Clarkson]\nBecause, honestly, I have heard people say dumb, dumb stuff about adoption. And how wonderful it always is. And I want to hit them in the face with a creme pie...or something like that.\nI don't know any way to do justice to the complexities in words. I know that God delights in working good through adverse situations, but trying to make adversity sound less.... adverse.... does no favor to the people who live through it, and it minimizes God's grace.\nDon't paint over the ugly. Don't assume that you know what went wrong and how to fix all of it.\n\"Well, to be fair,\" I said, \"I mean, she probably can't handle it. Neither can you, but she doesn't have to handle it. And you do.\"\n[from The Fault In Our Stars by John Green]\nAt this point in the book, Hazel is talking to her friend Isaac, whose girlfriend broke up with him because he has cancer, telling him that she couldn't handle it.\nI'd say that's true when I think about what my family went through when I was growing up. It wasn't stuff that we could handle. But we had to.\nHow could you ever understand where I come from?\nEven if you ask --\nEven if you listen --\nyou will not really hear, see, or feel.\nYou don't remember my story.\n[from ReMoved]\nI think this is true. Even with my best friends. Even with the best listeners who I know. They don't remember my story. That is no shortcoming in them; I think it's just a function of being finite. I don't really fully understand their stories, either.\nBut sometimes it seems harder, and like it hurts more, to even really try to explain.\nSo a lot of times, I don't.\nMaybe I could get some sleep.\n[from \"Oh My God\" by Jars of Clay]\nThis is probably one of my favorite songs.\nEspecially this line: mercy cuts so deep.\nIt balances so very well in the tension. Real mercy cuts and leaves scars. Real mercy is dirty and messy and hard.\nReal mercy, after all, is the perfect God becoming flesh in a very broken world.\nIt does cut.\nSo when people ask, I hesitate. And warn them that it's going to be a long conversation.\nadoption family journaling quotes relationships\nThe Chickadee Feeder June 28, 2014 at 3:46 PM\nVery thoughtful and well done.

After spending the rest of the decade writing various film, television and stage projects, Gelbart produced his first television series, \"M*A*S*H\" (CBS, 1972-1983), arguably the greatest sitcom of all time. Part situation comedy; part rumination on the tragic consequences of war, \"M*A*S*H\" became not only a long-running ratings winner, but an iconic American series that boasted the most-watched final episode in television history, while continuing to live on in syndication for decades to come. Gelbart went on to find success in the feature world, earning Oscar nominations for writing \"Oh, God!\" (1977) and \"Tootsie\" (1982). Though he maintained a successful and lucrative career, writing an adaptation of \"Barbarians at the Gates\" (HBO, 1993) and producing \"Weapons of Mass Distraction\" (HBO, 1997), Gelbart never again reached the creative heights of \"M*A*S*H.\" But he remained throughout the decades one of the most influential comedy writers of all time.\nBorn Feb. 25, 1928 in Chicago, IL to parents Harry and Frieda, Gelbart began his career while still in high school. His father, an L.A.-based barber, had sung his praises to comedian Danny Thomas as he cut the star's hair, who in turn hired the teenager as a sketch writer for his radio series, \"Maxwell House Coffee Time with Danny Thomas\" after reading some of the teen's jokes. Gelbart soon had an agent and his career was off and running. After graduating from high school, he wrote for such radio shows as \"Duffy's Tavern\" and \"The Eddie Cantor Show.\" A stint in the U.S. Army led to work on \"Command Performance\" for Armed Forces Radio. Following his discharge, Gelbart continued to provide gags for such legendary figures as Jack Paar, Joan Davis and Bob Hope. As television entered its Golden Age in the early 1950s, Gelbart segued to the new medium; first as a staff writer on \"The All-Star Revue\" (NBC, 1950-53) and then alongside Neil Simon, Mel Tolkin, Woody Allen and Mel Brooks on \"Caesar's Hour\" (NBC, 1955-57). Throughout the 1950s, he continued to provide amusing material for Red Buttons, Patrice Munsel and Pat Boone and garnered awards for his work on the NBC variety special, \"The Art Carney Show\" (1959).\nAt the dawn of the 1960s, Gelbart branched out to write the libretto for the ill-fated musical, \"The Conquering Hero\" (1960), but hit pay dirt with his second effort. Along with Burt Shevelove, Gelbart modernized the comedies of Plautus and created the book for one of Broadway's best musicals, \"A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.\" The original 1962 production, with a score by Stephen Sondheim, was produced by Harold Prince and directed by George Abbott. It would win six Tony Awards, including one for its book's writers and one for its star, Zero Mostel. (It was successfully revived in 1972 with Phil Silvers and in 1996 with Nathan Lane).\nAt the same time as his stage success, Gelbart co-wrote the screenplays for his first features. \"The Notorious Landlady\" (1962), scripted with Blake Edwards, was an enjoyable thriller that found Jack Lemmon investigating the mysterious death of Kim Novak's husband. With Carl Reiner, he penned \"The Thrill of It All\" (1963), a spoof of TV commercials with James Garner and Doris Day. That same year, Gelbart and his family relocated to London (quipping that he wanted \"to escape religious freedom in America\") where he spent nine years, in which time he worked on several film scripts, the best of which being \"The Wrong Box\" (1966), co-written with Burt Shevelove. Returning to the United States in the early 1970s, the writer worked on what was to be a critical and very lucrative project - as well as his defining creation. Ingeniously, he turned Robert Altman's black feature comedy \"M*A*S*H*\" (1970) into a weekly series. Working with Gene Reynolds, Gelbart spent four years (1972-76) shepherding the series into the rare kind of comedy and drama mix that would win several awards and earn it the reputation as one of the greatest television shows of all time. \"M*A*S*H\" (CBS, 1972-1983) ran 11 seasons, ending its run in 1983 with a bittersweet finale watched by 106 million viewers, making it the the most-watched final episode in television history.\nDuring the run of \"M*A*S*H,\" he returned to Broadway with \"Sly Fox\" (1976), an adaptation of Ben Johnson's \"Volpone\" that starred George C. Scott.He also resumed his film career by nabbing an Oscar nomination for his genial script of \"Oh, God!\" (1977), in which a supermarket manager (John Denver) is visited by the cigar-smoking Almighty (George Burns). Gelbart co-wrote the pastiche of a double bill \"Movie Movie\" (1978), Stanley Donen's paean to 1930s Hollywood that featured a Technicolor musical and a black and white boxing drama. Disappointed with the final version of \"Rough Cut\" (1980), a Burt Reynolds caper, he eschewed credit in favor of the pseudonym, Francis Burns. In 1980, Gelbart attempted the intriguing \"United States\" (NBC, 1980), a serio-comic look at contemporary marriage starring Beau Bridges and Helen Shaver. Audiences were not primed for such an atypical series, one that abandoned a laugh track, dealt with mundane issues and failed to wrap things up with a happy ending. Ahead of its time, the series had its champions, but failed to earn high ratings and was canceled after two months\nDespite not being involved with \"M*A*S*H\" for years due to burnout, Gelbart helped create the unsuccessful spin-off (sans Alan Alda), \"After MASH\" (CBS, 1983-84). The failure of the spin-off was cushioned by the success of his next effort; this time on the big screen. The troubled production of Sydney Pollack's \"Tootsie\" (1982), for which he provided the original story and clever script, yielded a second Academy Award nomination. Gelbart frequently clashed with director Pollock, who, in turn, clashed with the film's star, Dustin Hoffman. In the end, Gelbart was unhappy to share final credit with Murray Schisgal (although others were also said to have tweaked the script as well) - no doubt due in part to the film's massive critical and commercial success and its status as one of the top feature comedies of all time. Unfortunately, the same could not be said for his next feature - a dismal reteaming with the classic movie musical director, Stanley Donen, \"Blame It on Rio\" (1984), a romantic comedy starring Michael Caine and the up-and-coming Demi Moore.\nReturning to the stage, Gelbart had two very different shows on the boards during the 1989-1990 theatrical season. The short-lived \"Mastergate\" was a satirical examination of political scandals (i.e., Watergate, the Iran-Contra hearings) that closed quickly, although a 1992 television version for Showtime fared better. Gelbart had a bona fide hit, however, with the musical \"City of Angels.\" With a score by Cy Coleman and David Zippel, \"Angels\" was both a pastiche of film noir and a behind-the-scenes skewering of Hollywood. It earned Gelbart his second Tony Award for source material, as well as five others including for Best Musical.\nThe 1990s saw Gelbart back on the small screen, this time in tandem with cable channels. He penned the highly entertaining adaptation of \"Barbarians at the Gate\" (HB0, 1993), chronicling the rise and fall of Nabisco chairman F. Ross Johnson. Gelbart then turned his sights on tabloid media moguls in the black comedy \"Weapons of Mass Distraction\" (HBO, 1997). He also served as executive producer of \"Fast Track,\" a 1997 Showtime series set in the world of professional stock car racing. As the nineties were drawing to a close, the busy writer was juggling a number of projects, including writing drafts of the script for the proposed film version of \"Chicago\" (2002) and writing an HBO series about a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon. Gelbart also contributed to the screenplay for the pallid remake of the Elizabeth Hurley/ Brendan Fraser vehicle, \"Bedazzled\" (2000).\nWith his career as TV and film writer beginning to wind down, Gelbart still remained politically active as a resident blogger on The Huffington Post and a vocal supporter of the 2007 Writer's Strike. He would often contribute to \"M*A*SH\" tributes, including the show's induction into the TV Land Hall of Fame in 2009 - one of his last public appearances - in which he shared the stage with Hawkeye, Hot Lips and Radar. The legendary scribe would pass away from cancer on Sept. 11, 2009 in Beverly Hills. He was 81 years old. Upon hearing the news, Carl Reiner, his longtime friend and colleague, called Gelbart \"the Jonathan Swift of our day. It's a great, great, great, great, great, great loss. You can't put enough 'greats' in front of it. The mores of our time were never more dissected and discussed. He had the ability to make an elaborate joke given nothing but one line.\"\nAFI's 100 Years...100 Movies (1998)\nPatriot Act: A Jeffrey Ross Home Movie (2006)\nIntimate Portrait: Angie Dickinson (2003) Interviewee\nM-A-S-H 30th Anniversary Reunion (2002)\nBrilliant But Cancelled (2002) Interviewee\nHail Sid Caesar!: The Golden Age of Comedy (2001) Interviewee\nHistory vs. Hollywood (2001) Interviewee (\"M*A*S*H*\")\nCollege of Comedy With Alan King III, The (2001)\n70s: The Decade That Changed Television, The (2000) Interviewee\nAFI's 100 Years... 100 Laughs (2000)\nAdapted his play \"Mastergate\" for Showtime\nContributed to the script of \"Movie Movie\"; directed by Stanley Donen\nEarned first Academy Award nomination for his script, \"Oh, God!\"\nServed in the US Army\nShared a Best Original Screenplay Oscar nomination for \"Tootsie\"\nThrough his father (who was Danny Thomas' barber), landed first writing job on the radio show, \"Maxwell House Coffee Time with Danny Thomas\"\nWrote for \"The Red Buttons Show\" (CBS, 1952-54; NBC, 1954-55)\nWrote the TV adaptation of \"Barbarians at the Gate\" (HBO)\nCo-wrote \"A Fine Pair\"; last fim for eight years\nCo-wrote for the NBC variety special, \"The Art Carney Show\"\nCo-wrote with Burt Shevelove, the book for the stage musical, \"A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum\"\nOne of the creators of CBS' \"M*A*S*H\"; also wrote, produced and directed many episodes until leaving after the fourth season\nProduced and wrote several episodes of the CBS sitcom, \"Roll Out!\"\nProduced first feature, \"The Wrong Box\"; also wrote screenplay\nProduced first play, \"My L.A.\"\nScreen tested by Twentieth Century Fox; did not pass the audition process\nTook his name off the final version of \"Rough Cut\" (billed as Francis Burns)\nWas a gag writer for \"The Bob Hope Show\" on the radio\nWas a staff writer on NBC's \"The All-Star Revue\"\nWas a writer for the CBS series, \"The Danny Kaye Show\"\nWrote and directed episodes of the CBS series, \"AfterMASH\"\nWrote first film, \"The Notorious Landlady\"\nWrote last feature for over a decade, \"Blame It on Rio\"; directed by Stanley Donen\nCo-wrote the award-winning variety special, \"Barbra Streisand...and Other Musical Instruments\" (CBS)\nContributed to the script for the remake of \"Bedazzled\"\nPenned the variety special \"Judy and Her Guests, Phil Silvers and Robert Goulet\"\nServed as executive producer of the Showtime series, \"Fast Track\"\nWriter for the screen adaption of the musical, \"Chicago\"\nExecutive produced and wrote episodes of the ABC sitcom, \"Karen\" starring Karen Valentine\nExecutive produced and wrote the TV-movie, \"Weapons of Mass Distraction\" (HBO)\nExecutive producer and writer for the HBO special, \"And Starring Pancho Villa as Himself\"\nHad adaptation of \"Lysistrata\" (with music by Alan Menken) cancelled by the American Repertory Theater for being \"ferociously obscene\"\nPenned 26 five-minute episodes for a politically-themed Internet comedy\nPenned the libretto for the musical, \"The Conquering Hero\"; show closed after seven performances\nReturned to Broadway as the playwright of \"Sly Fox\" starring George C.

Sometimes I just walk around town rewriting license plates.\" --Larry Gelbart in The New York Times, December 10, 1989.\n\"Getting a Broadway musical ready to open is like trying to housebreak a dinosaur.\" --Gelbart quoted by The New York Times, December 10, 1989.\nPatricia Marshall.

The representative of India in this talk will be Prakash Javadekar, Union Minister of environment, Forest and Climate Change. The talk on October 26 at 1700 hours will be organised in collaboration with Google India.\nAccording to the Ministry, the major contributors in the conference MyGov, senior journalists and climate change experts will join the online panel of discussion with the Javadekar. The talk is intended to make better policies of controlling Global warming, other crucial climatic issues and to improve the next INDCs or India\u2019s climate action plan. Much emphasis will also be given on taking public views on making a sustainable lifestyle, cleaner economic development, enhancing forests and adaptation and reduction of emission intensity.\nRumours also states that at the backend of \u2018MyGov Talk\u2019 is a Modi\u2019s decision to make India hold a better and stronger place in the United Nations Organisation (UNO).

By this INDCs the government is working towards cutting down the carbon emission by the automobiles and industries. The country also wants to reduce emission intensity of GDP or Gross Domestic Product, increasing carbon skins i.e. forests, reducing deforestation.\nPreviously Javedkar had attended a luncheon meeting with UN Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon on climate action. State Heads and Foreign Minister including US Secretary of State John Kerry and French President Francois Hollande were also present in the meeting. In the meeting, Hollande raised the issue of finance and said that unless developed nations fulfill their commitment of finance, the Paris talks can fail also. It was complemented by many environment enthusiasts including Mr. Javedkar. He further added that cost of climate action plan would be more than 100 billion dollars per year and might reach trillion dollar. Javedkar warned developed world to do most of the funding for protecting climate as it\u2019s the developed world who had led to this situation and due to their deed entire world including the poor countries are facing the challenges.\nDiscuss on Climate Change @ \u2018MyGov Talk\u2019, Reviewed by Editor on 1:37 PM Rating: 5\nTags : Environment India Social",

        "raw_content": "Here are our most recent 2018 speakers!\nControlling Flapping Flight\nProfessor Itai Cohen is obsessed with matter in motion. At Cornell, his research has focused on investigating the behavior of microscopic and nanoscopic particles suspended in a fluid, exploring the mechanics of materials ranging from biological tissues to origami inspired metamaterials, discovering the mechanisms used by insects during flapping flight, and determining how Tango dancers and audiences at heavy metal concerts coordinate their movement. Understanding the out-of-equilibrium behaviors of these systems remains one of the biggest challenges in physics.\nWhat You Can Do to Reduce Gender Bias, and Why You Should\nDr. Susan Fleming is a Senior Lecturer at Cornell\u2019s Hotel School. After a successful career on Wall Street, she earned a PhD focused on understanding why there are so few women in leadership positions in U.S. society. In addition to her work researching and advocating for women\u2019s advancement, Susan is an active angel investor and corporate director, with experience serving on the boards of six public companies as well as numerous private company and non-profit boards. Susan\u2019s TEDx talk will focus on why both men and women should care about reducing gender bias in our society and offer specific suggestions on how to do that.\nThe Social Structure of \"Maybe\"\nThe internet, and social media in particular, have made individual and institutional discourse visible like never before. Yet the mechanisms that shape the production of discourse \u2014 what leads individuals or institutions to speak up, whom do they address, what do they say \u2014 is not yet well understood. Margolin's research focuses on understanding these dynamics through the quantitative aggregation of collective communication behavior. In particular, his approach emphasizes the role that accountability, credibility, and legitimacy within social networks and communities play in shaping observable discourse.\nThe Brain's Virtual Reality Engine and a Case for Humanist Ethics\nShimon Edelman holds degrees in electrical engineering and in computer science and is trying to understand the brain/mind through behavioral, neurophysiological, evolutionary, and computational studies of vision, language, happiness, and consciousness. His books include \"Computing the Mind: How the Mind Really Works\", \"The Happiness of Pursuit\", and, most recently, \"Beginnings\", a psychological-philosophical science fiction (psy-phi sci-fi) anabasis. His TEDxCornell talk shows how the realization that the brain is a virtual reality engine can help us make a case for humanist ethics.\nIfeoma Ajunwa\nControversies of Ethics and Technology in Modern Workplace Management\nProfessor Ajunwa researches the organizational behavior of organizations, particularly in relation to stigma/social evaluation, diversity, and the adoption of new work technologies. Her research has been mentioned in major media outlets such as, the New York Times, the Harvard Business Review, the Atlantic, the Guardian, Nature Biotechnology, etc. Professor Ajunwa has served as a keynote speaker or panelist at international conferences such as SXSW and has presented her work before governmental agencies such as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the CFPB) and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (the EEOC).\nRenee T. Alexander\nCampus Climate: \"Breaking Bread\"\nAs Associate Dean of Students/Senior Advisor to the Dean, \u201cDr. Renee\u201d focuses on campus climate issues. Through her work with student communities, Renee Alexander\u2019s efforts improve dialogue, collaboration, and understanding. Under her leadership, the Breaking Bread initiative \u2013 which brings participants together for a special meal and facilitated conversation \u2013 won the highly acclaimed Perkins Prize (2017) for its significant impact toward furthering the ideal of university community while respecting the values of racial and cultural diversity. Her contributions also include facilitating Town Hall meetings, convening the Leadership Roundtable of campus student leaders, working within and between groups to foster community and confront complex issues, mediation, resolving conflicts, advising students, and supporting students as they engage across the spectrum of Cornell communities.\nWhy is the Science of Nutrition Ignored in the Field of Medicine?\nProfessor Campbell is a well-established researcher and author. His popular book (co-authored with his son, a physician) titled The China Study (2005), has been translated into more than 50 foreign languages and has sold well over 2 million copies. His second book, Whole (2013), was a New York Times best seller.\nCampbell has conducted experimental research on the effect of food and nutrition on the development of cancer and related diseases. His research program was relatively large, and his findings were published in more than 300 peer reviewed professional papers. He also participated as a member of several expert panels on health of the National Academy of Sciences, the National Institutes of Health and related public agencies. He has been in his professional career for more than 60 years.\nThe Strange Politics of Disgust\nDavid Pizarro is a research psychologist and associate professor at Cornell University. His primary research interests are in moral judgment and he is particularly interested in moral intuitions (especially concerning moral responsibility, and the permissibility or impermissibility of certain acts), and in biases that affect moral judgment. He also has a general interest in the influence of emotional states on thinking and deciding with particular interest in specific emotions (anger, disgust, fear, etc.) and their differential impact on how we process information, how we remember events, and how these emotions impact our moral judgments of others.",

        "raw_content": "Interview with Sandra Block, author of The Girl Without a Name\nJoining us today is Sandra Block, author of the just-released The Girl Without a Name, the follow-up to the psychological thriller, Little Black Lies. Check out our quick Q&A on the book's darker themes and what inspires (and scares!) Sandra, below, and then let us know your thoughts in the comments!\n1. The Girl Without a Name touches on alcoholism, drug abuse, anorexia and mental illness. Do you deal with these tough issues in your practice as a neurologist?\nI'm a neurologist, not a psychiatrist, so I don't directly treat problems like depression or drug abuse. But, I do deal with these issues on a daily basis. Patients may have seizures every time they quit drinking, or neuropathy (peripheral nerve damage) or ataxia (unsteadiness) from years of alcohol abuse. Depression and anxiety also play a huge role in insomnia - on of my specialties as a sleep doctor. Most doctors, in every field, work with mental illness on some level.\n2. What scares you as a writer, and why?\nReviews always fill me with a certain dread, and yet it's so hard not to read them. Nowadays, I'm kinder to myself though. I used to read bad reviews as a sort of tough love, but I'm not so masochistic anymore. It just isn't helpful in a field already sewn with self-doubt. I've come to accept that not everyone will love my books, and everyone has a right to an opinion. I try to focus on the positive reviews and emails I've received. If reading my book has given someone, somewhere, a sense of wonder, escape, or even joy for a few hours, then I've done my job.\n3. What inspired your new character, Jane Doe?\nThe character came to me as first line, while I was on vacation. I had just finished Little Black Lies (the first Zoe Goldman novel) and scored an agent, so I was on a bit of a high. The line goes: \"We call her Jane, because she can't tell us her name.\" Then Jane showed up in the hospital bed. I really couldn't shake the vision of the character, so I wrote her.\n4. We have grown to know and love Dr. Zoe Goldman! What\u2019s next for our favorite doctor?\nZoe is taking a bit of a break at the moment, getting ready for her Forensic Psychiatry fellowship. She does make a cameo in the Detective Adams novel I'm working on right now though. I also have a great case lined up for her next novel, but I'm afraid you'll just have to wait and see on that one\u2026\nContemporary Thriller, 368 pages\nPublished September 8th 2015 by Grand Central Publishing\nAnother gripping pageturner featuring psychiatrist Zoe Goldman, the protagonist from Little Black Lies.\nIn what passes for an ordinary day in a psych ward, Dr. Zoe Goldman is stumped when a highly unusual case arrives. A young African American girl, found wandering the streets of Buffalo in a catatonic state, is brought in by police. No one has come forward to claim her, and all leads have been exhausted, so Zoe's treatment is the last hope to discover the girl's identity.\nWhen drugs prove ineffective and medical science seems to be failing, Zoe takes matters into her own hands to track down Jane Doe's family and piece together their checkered history. As she unearths their secrets, she finds that monsters hide where they are least expected. And now she must solve the mystery before it is too late. Because someone wants to make sure this young girl never remembers.\nThe Girl Without a Name is a powerful novel of memory and forgetting, of unexpected friendship and understanding...and of the secrets we protect no matter the consequences.\ncredit: Brian Block\nSandra A. Block graduated from college at Harvard, then returned to her native land of Buffalo, New York for medical training and never left. She is a practicing neurologist and proud Sabres fan, and lives at home with her husband, two children, and impetuous yellow lab Delilah. She has been published in both medical and poetry journals. \"Little Black Lies\" is her debut, and \"The Girl Without a Name\" in the next novel in the series.\nLabels: interview, Sandra Block, The Girl Without a Name, thriller",

They often don't access healthcare because of homophobia in the medical establishment and inadequate insurance coverage. With its diversity of views and experience, Coming out of Cancer includes contributions from Audre Lorde, Ruthann Robson, Pat Parker, Rachel Carson, and Dr. Susan Love and offers information and support for survivors, loved ones, and community activists.\nWith risk of breast cancer increasing in women who don't get pregnant and don't breastfeed, on top of the homophobia present throughout our society and certainly in our medical system, lesbians are shown to be at higher risk of breast cancer.

        "raw_content": "Dartmouth men\u2019s and women\u2019s squash wrap up road trek\nAfter a three-week break, the No. 5 men\u2019s squash team stormed back onto the courts this past weekend to secure a thrilling victory against No. 12 Cornell University 5-4 before losing to No. 8 Columbia University 5-4 the next day. The women\u2019s team also travelled to New York but dropped both games to Cornell and Columbia 8-1. Then on Tuesday, both the men and women\u2019s squash teams picked up wins, traveling to Williams College and sweeping the Ephs. The men\u2019s team (8-3, 3-2) continued their remarkable season with a 6-3 victory, while the No. 11 women (4-8, 0-5) ended its two-game skid with a 5-4 nail-biter.\nhttp://www.thedartmouth.com/article/2016/02/dartmouth-mens-and-womens-squash-wrap-up-road-trek\nWomen\u2019s basketball drops two games at home this past weekend\nComing off of two overtime games on the road in New York the previous weekend, the women\u2019s basketball team sought to come out strong on its home turf last weekend against two perennial Ivy League powerhouses, Princeton University and the University of Pennsylvania. The weekend resulted in a sweep of the home team. Dartmouth lost 85-48 to Princeton (15-4, 4-1 Ivy) and fell against Penn (16-3, 5-0 Ivy), the top team in the league, 56-41. The weekend\u2019s losses mark the Big Green\u2019s third loss in a row and leaves the team at 2-4 in league play and 7-15 overall.\nhttp://www.thedartmouth.com/article/2016/02/womens-basketball-drops-two-games-at-home-this-past-weekend\nSwim and dive teams drop final dual meet in New York City\nIn the final meet of the dual meet season, the Big Green men and women\u2019s swim and dive teams were defeated by Columbia University. The men won six events while the women won four, The men\u2019s team lost by a total score of 172-127 and the women\u2019s team lost 189-111.\u201cThe Columbia men were pretty good, but we still kept the meet really close,\u201d head coach Jim Wilson said. \u201cAbout two-thirds of the way through we were only five points back. And for the women\u2019s team, it seemed like almost every time we lost, it involved the other team wearing tech suits which we didn\u2019t wear to compete.\u201dIn the 200-yard freestyle, Misha Tovmashenko \u201918 gave the Big Green its inaugural first place finish of the meet (1:40.72), followed by Tony Shen \u201918 in third (1:43.42). James Verhagen \u201916, currently one of the strongest backstrokers in the League, won the 100-yard backstroke (50.68) by almost a full second and, a few events later, took the 200-yard backstroke (1:51.37), finishing almost four full seconds ahead of the nearest swimmer.Tovmashenko would go on to win another event later in the day, the 100-yard freestyle (46.67), out-touching his second-place competitor by less than two-tenths of a second. Though the Big Green was unable to produce a top-three swimmer in the men\u2019s 100-yard breaststroke, David Harmon \u201917 placed first in the 200-yard butterfly (1:54.65) by just one one-hundredth of a second, keeping the Big Green in the competition. Logan Briggs \u201916 finished in second in the 500-yard freestyle (4:45.78), while Shen touched right after him in third (4:46.17).Wrapping up the meet, the men\u2019s 200-yard freestyle relay team comprised of Aaron Athanas \u201916, Brandon Boval \u201918, Tovmashenko and Henry Patrick \u201919 finished in second place (1:24.13), devastatingly close to the first place finisher, Columbia\u2019s A team, that finished just half a second ahead of the Big Green\u2019s A team.\u201cAs a team we were pretty happy with the result,\u201d Briggs said. \u201cWe did better than last year, and we had some good swims. I think we\u2019re all very excited for Ivies as well.\u201dFor the divers, Brett Gillis \u201916 started the meet by securing second place in the 3-meter dive to Columbia\u2019s sophomore top diver, Jayden Pantel, who now has 22 consecutive first place finishes in the event.The two would later meet again in the 1-meter dive with Gillis finishing on top this time. Gillis was victorious by less than one full point, 331.50 points to Pantel\u2019s 330.53 points. With diving events split by Gillis and Pantel, both individuals contributed 13 points to their respective team totals. Finding similar success in the 1-meter dive, women\u2019s Allison Green \u201919 finished in first place (262.20).Gillis said he has known Pantel since the two competed together in Saskatchewan, Canada at a young age.\u201c[Pantel has] been doing really well lately, and he definitely got me on the 3-meter, but the 1-meter went really well for me,\u201d Gillis said. \u201cI just relaxed a little and did a lot better.\u201dThe women\u2019s side found success early in distance swimmers Haley Winter \u201918 and Olivia Samson \u201916 in the 1000-yard freestyle with Winter taking first (10:36.15) and Samson finishing second (10:36.15). Winter pulled out the win after falling behind early and swimming an incredible second half. The Big Green women\u2019s team would receive another first place ten events later in the 500-yard freestyle with another one-two finish by Annclaire MacArt \u201918 in first (4:57.86) and Amber Zimmerman \u201919 finishing second (5:01.90). Megan Crook \u201919 continued her strong rookie season with another victory to her name in the 100-yard IM (58.99). She was also the only swimmer in the event to finish under the one minute mark.Ending the weekend, the women took second and third in the 200-yard freestyle relay, with the A team finishing in 1:37.05 and the B relay touching soon after (1:38.10).\u201cIt was a tough meet, but we\u2019re really excited for Ivies,\u201d women\u2019s swim captain Charlotte Kamai \u201916 said. \u201cI know, as a team, we talked a lot about our personal goals and our team goals for the meet.\u201dThe Big Green swim and dive teams are now preparing for the Ivy League Championships as they begin to taper and focus on swimming their best times. As a team, they plan on having as many swimmers as possible make NCAA cut times to be invited to the NCAA championships. Notable swimmers to look out for to swim their best times to make the cuts include Verhagen, Tovmashenko, Athanas and Harmon.Briggs said he is also looking forward to ending his career in the 400-yard IM and making the NCAA B cut time for consideration to be invited to the NCAA Championships. With his eye on the gold ever since he took the silver in the 1-meter dive in his sophomore year, senior Gillis is looking to put it all together for his last Ivy League Championship.The Big Green teams will separate to compete in the championship meet. The women will head to Princeton, New Jersey Feb. 18 to 20, and the men will wait one more week before going to Providence, Rhode Island from Feb. 25 to 27.\nhttp://www.thedartmouth.com/article/2016/02/swim-and-dive-teams-drop-final-dual-meet-in-new-york-city\nEven the best fall down sometimes.

        "raw_content": "Last week Ulysses and I drove way down to Orange County to meet the person who helped coordinate his rescue from the shelter. Uly had gone from unwanted and unadoptable to rescue superstar, with ten applications to adopt him within a week of him appearing on the rescue's Facebook and website.\nWe met a couple of different families who had passed the approval process. With so much interest in this angelic boy, we were able to pick our favorite family. Ulysses is now named Cal, his new family has a red heeler named Tex. We loved how Tex's dad interacted with him, very patient and extremely positive. Tex's mom also adored him, and Cal liked sitting on her feet for petting.\nThe family also includes a baby and an older boy, around 8. He lamented that Tex only cuddled with his parents. Cal figured out right away this the kid was an easy person to beg for petting. I think he's going to end up bonding with the kids very nicely.\nWe don't know a whole lot about Cal's history. He came into the shelter as a stray, and acted like many things were very new. He had clearly never seen the ocean or a swimming pool before. He may never have been on a leash or in a house before, but he was so good-natured that he figured it all out very quickly.\nCal has been with his new family for a few days now. He is rapidly bonding with his new people, and warming up to them much faster than he did with us. It took him a week to get comfortable enough to play fetch with us, but he was playing ball with Tex and his new family on his second day home. Cal is in for a long life as a beloved family member, full of trips to the lake and snuggles on the couch. He's a naturally well-behaved dog, and he deserves such a wonderful life. I am delighted that I could be a part of his rescue and help him on his way home.\nLabels: adopted, foster, success, Uly, Ulysses",

        "raw_content": "Home News Latest NASA Launch CO2 \"Hunter\"\nNASA Launch CO2 \"Hunter\"\nThe US space agency is set to launch a satellite that can map in detail where carbon dioxide is in the atmosphere. Nasa's Orbiting Carbon Observatory (OCO) will pinpoint the key locations on the Earth's surface where CO2 is being emitted and absorbed.\nCO2 from human activities is thought to be driving climate changes, but important facts about its movement through the atmosphere remain elusive. The agency believes the technology on OCO can end some of the mysteries. \"This is Nasa's first spacecraft specifically dedicated to mapping carbon dioxide,\" principal investigator David Crisp told BBC News. \"The objective of the OCO mission is to make measurements that are so precise that they can be used to look for surface 'sources' and 'sinks' of CO2.\"\nDr Crisp has been presenting details of the mission here at the American Geophysical Union's (AGU) Fall Meeting. As he did so, OCO's launch on a Taurus XL rocket from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California was booked for 23 February. Nasa already has a CO2 detection instrument on its Aqua satellite but this looks at the greenhouse gas some five to 10km above the surface.\nOCO, on the other hand, will detail the concentration of carbon dioxide closer to the ground where its warming effect is most keenly felt. The observatory will be engaged in what amounts to carbon accountancy. Its fortnightly global maps of CO2 concentration will help the mission team work out where the gas is entering the atmosphere and where it is being absorbed by land plants and the oceans.\nScientists have calculated that nature cycles about 330 billion tonnes of carbon every year. Human activities put about 7.5 billion tonnes into the atmosphere - a tiny sum in comparison but enough, say researchers, to imbalance the system and raise the global mean surface temperature of Earth. \"We know where most of the fossil fuel emissions are coming from; we also know where things like cement manufacturing are producing large CO2 emissions,\" explained Dr Crisp, who works at Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.\n\"But there are other things such as biomass (forest) burning and clearing; and we don't have a good quantification of the CO2 released by those processes. \"If you take out the fossil fuels - for which we understand the CO2 source to within 10% - and look at the rest of the carbon dioxide that's introduced into the atmosphere by our activities, it's uncertain by 100%. \"The idea is that OCO will help us to constrain that a whole lot better.\"\nThe sinks for CO2 - the places where it is absorbed - also have many mysteries associated with them. The Earth is thought to be absorbing about 50% of the carbon dioxide we put out - the majority of it going into the oceans. But science's description of the other major absorbers is poor, commented UK Earth-observation scientist Shaun Quegan. \"There's a bunch of atmospheric collection flasks dotted around the planet and when we apply the models to their data, the models all show there is a carbon sink in northern mid-latitudes,\" he said. \"But whether that's in North America, in Siberia, or wherever and what's causing it is a big debate.\" Since science does not have a good handle on where the CO2 is being absorbed, researchers can have only limited understanding of how CO2 sinks are likely to evolve as the climate changes. \"Let's say we found that the boreal forests in Canada and Siberia were the primary sinks of CO2 because of their incredibly rapid growth during summer months when the Sun is up,\" speculated Dr Crisp. \"Well those environments are changing dramatically right now. \"Will they still be the primary absorbers of CO2 as time goes on? We don't really know how big an impact they're having right now. \"This is why OCO is so essential.\"\nThe observatory carries a single instrument - a spectrometer that breaks the sunlight reflected off the Earth's surface into its constituent colours, and then analyses the spectrum to determine how much carbon dioxide and molecular oxygen is present. The data can be used to work out atmospheric concentrations. OCO will map carbon dioxide over 1,600-sq-km (620 sq miles) regions of the Earth's surface to an accuracy of just fractions of 1%. However, to locate the sources and sinks, scientists will need to combine the information with models that estimate how CO2 is being moved and mixed through the air. Once in orbit, OCO will join a fleet of other satellites - known as the A-Train - which carry a range of instrumentation to give a rounded picture of Earth's atmospheric and water systems. The spacecraft cross the equator in the early afternoon on a path that takes them over broadly the same observation point in quick succession. OCO will be followed into orbit next year by a Japanese carbon mission known as the Greenhouse gases Observing SATellite (GOSAT). Europe is considering two carbon observatories - A-SCOPE (Advanced Space Carbon and Climate Observation of Planet Earth) and a mission called BIOMASS - which could fly in 2016. Professor Quegan, from the UK's University of Sheffield, is working on the BIOMASS proposal. \"The spacecraft would measure global forest biomass at scales of about one hectare,\" he said. \"It's a crucial natural resource and ecosystem service - for materials, for energy, for biodiversity - there's a good correlation between how much biomass you've got and how much biodiversity you've got - and for climate and water protection.\" \"So from a carbon cycle science aspect, forests have some critical parameters that need to be pinned down.\"",

        "raw_content": "Synagogue Government Part III\nApart from the franchise, the rights of an elector were honors in the synagogue, the use\nof synagogue officials at weddings and funerals and the right to a sepulcher at his death or at the death of his wife or any minor of his family. At Shearith Israel, no real distinction\nwas made between an elector and a seat holder in the matter of sepulture; at other synagogues the seat holder had to pay a fee for \"breaking ground\" at the cemetery.\nShearith Israel seems, in this, to have continued its original understanding that its cemeteries were for the use of all who were associated with the synagogue. Here as elsewhere, those who were neither seat holders nor electors had to pay a special fee for burial privileges.\nPractically all New York synagogues distinguished sharply between electors and non-electors with regard to honors in the synagogue. Such obligatory honors (hiyuvim) as that of the bridegroom on the Sabbath before his marriage and that of the mourner on the anniversary of the death he mourned were the privilege of electors. Occasionally, such an honor might be granted by the president to a seat holder or a stranger, but never as a matter of right. Strangers were usually defined as those who were passing through or visiting New York, or who had not lived six months in the city. After six months, one was expected to purchase a seat\nin a synagogue.\nThe use of synagogue officials, such as the reader and the sexton, was, for the most part, given free of charge to electors and seat holders alike. Several synagogues, however, among them Anshe Chesed, charged each group a different wedding fee. In one other financial respect, no differentiation was made, fines for disturbing worship were levied on all with impartiality, as the need arose.\nOccasionally, particularly when new places of worship came into being, New York congregations were faced with the problem of electors in more than one synagogue. Some electors desired to worship in a place near their home and yet wanted to keep their prior affiliation for social or sepulchral reasons. All synagogues frowned on this practice and virtually prohibited it by withdrawing the franchise from such people. There were other reasons, besides this, for losing the franchise. Electors whose financial obligations to the synagogue remained unpaid for six months or more lost their membership; those who claimed inability to pay were always\ngiven an extension of time. An elector who left town for a year lost his franchise because the state law required attendance of a year prior to voting. When an elector resigned or dropped his membership, but still owned seats in the synagogue, his account was not considered closed until the seats were purchased by a person acceptable to the congregation as an elector.\nThus we see that membership in the synagogue carried with it financial obligations for which the member was compensated by rights of two kinds: he gained certain religious prerogatives, and, at the same time, became a participant in the organizational life of the congregation. His membership had both spiritual and temporal implications; by being accepted into a religious body, he acquired a position in a businesslike corporation. We now turn to the governing officials of that corporation.\nIn discussing the rights and duties of synagogue membership, we pointed out the limitations of democracy in the government of the synagogue. Inevitably, this question will enter our discussion to an even greater degree as we concern ourselves with the methods of selecting synagogue officials and with the functions and obligations of these officials. Nor will it seem strange that, during the colonial period, there was little trace of popular sovereignty in the synagogue. At a time when the Mayor of New York City and the Governor of the Colony of New York were appointive officials, we might expect to find the same pattern followed by the Jews in their management of religious affairs.\nThe earliest history of Shearith israel for which records remain shows distinctly the influence of the Sephardic congregations in continental Europe. The ruling body, called the Junta, or \"Assistants,\" was a self-perpetuating group. Although the very first president (parnass) was named by the electors, his successors and assistants from this time forth were handpicked by the group in office. By 1748, the influence of the Bevis Marks synagogue in London became dominant in the organizational structure of Shearith Israel. This manifested itself in the creation of a body of Elders, on the pattern of Bevis Marks, composed of former members of the Junta. This new ruling body of Elders met with the Junta, received reports on finances and other temporal matters, and made all rules and regulations for the congregation. The Elders also elected the president and the members of the Junta. The electors were now called in only for the election of the reader, the sexton and the Shohet.\nIn another direction, however, the laws were liberalized at this time, for it became possible to elect as president one who was not an elector, and who became one by virtue of holding office. Such an election was a very rare event; usually the Elders chose the president from among themselves. When the Elders were unable to reach a decision because of irreconcilable disagreement, the whole congregation was called in to decide the question at issue. It is also possible that in this early period the property of the synagogue was under the control of a group of trustees who were entirely dissociated from the president and the Elders.\nSuddenly, in 1761, Shearith Israel took a long stride in the direction of the democratic selection of officials. The president and his assistants were elected by the whole congregation. At this time five assistants formed the Junta; later, the number varied. Ten\nyears later, the new order was scrapped and, for a brief time, the congregation returned to a self-perpetuating group of one president and two assistants. A few months later, the democratic method returned to favor, and five assistants were chosen by the electors; in 1773, the number of assistants rose to seven, and, a year later, it dropped back to five, but the principle of democratic election was retained.\nThe leaven of democracy was thus at work when most of the Jews left New York to escape the British occupation. How the synagogue was conducted during the Revolutionary War we do not know; Alexander Zunz, a Hessian officer, was president for at least part of this period. When the \"exiles\" returned, the old system of an elective president and assistants was restored.

        "title": "North East businesses face power cuts this coming winter - The Journal",
        "raw_content": "As well as rising energy costs North East businesses face power cuts this coming winter, as Peter McCusker reports\nSSI's blast furnace\nRedcar steelmaker SSI opts to shut down large chunks of its operations up to 30 times a year to avoid paying higher energy costs.\nWith electricity bills of up to \u00a330m large industrial plants find these self-imposed \u2018brownouts\u2019 can save hundreds of thousands of pounds a year.\nBut concern is now growing that enforced brownouts \u2013 or even blackouts \u2013 will become a feature of the North East landscape as early as this coming winter, with businesses hit before households.\nMark Stephenson, policy and research manager for the North East Chamber of Commerce (NECC), said: \u201cIf we have a bad winter this year, as we did in 2010, then the most optimistic position is that we will have brownouts.\n\u201cThe most likely scenario is we will be facing blackouts. It\u2019s a frightening situation.\n\u201cThe spare capacity margin is down to 5%, which is the lowest level for 20 years, and with a further 20% of existing capacity coming offline before any meaningful new base-load capacity is built, this a major concern for the UK.\u201d\nAt the NOF Energy annual conference in Gateshead earlier this year former UK Energy Minister Charles Hendry, the Conservative MP for Wealden, said businesses may be asked to shut down during peak hours to ease the strain on the UK powergrid.\nThe National Grid says the winter evenings of 2014/15 and 2015/16 are the time when Britain will be most at risk.\nIt estimates the margin of spare generating capacity could fall to less than 2% and the risk of some disconnections could be as high as 50%.\nIn response, the grid has commissioned more short-term capacity in the form of high carbon emitting and extremely costly, stand-by, diesel-powered generators.\nParticipating operators \u2013 which can include schools, hospitals, prisons, military bases, police and fire headquarters, and council offices \u2013 must be able to provide at least 3MW within four hours of receiving an instruction.\nLatest figures show that diesel\u2019s contribution to the grid\u2019s Short-term operating Reserve (STOR) has risen to 17% of the regular 2.3GW capacity the National Grid has available to support the system \u2013 replacing much of the role previously played by coal.\nThe National Grid is also considering new measures for the next two winters including asking businesses to use less electricity during the winter peak hours.\nCompanies which could be affected by looming blackouts or brownouts will include many of the region\u2019s chemical and process clusters.\nNEPIC (North East Processing Industry Cluster) represents over 500 North East businesses in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and chemical sectors.\nThey generate in excess of \u00a310bn of sales and comprise 30% of the region\u2019s industrial base, and NEPIC\u2019s chief executive Stan Higgins believes its members will be affected before households.\nHe said: \u201cEnergy intensive industries like those in the chemical process industry have for many years worked under duress from the energy companies with contracts that threaten the switching off of their electricity or gas supply under peak winter energy demands by consumers.\n\u201cThis is often despite paying supposedly non-interruptible tariffs to the energy supply companies.\n\u201cAs far as industry is concerned the fact of the matter is, unlike in many other countries, we in the UK will switch off energy to our industry in preference to consumers mainly because of the political fall-out that might occur.\n\u201cUK politicians need to understand that if some large-scale energy intensive industries are switched off in an untimely manner, irreparable and sometimes irreversible damage can be done to furnaces and other equipment.\u201d\nThe Government has three main aims with energy policy; to keep the lights on, keep the costs down and increase the contribution of renewables.\nIt is on target to hit its renewable goals but many in business fear it\u2019s at the expense of security and cost.\nAndy Collier, membership and external affairs manager of manufacturing body the EEF in the North East, said: \u201cWe do have concerns on energy costs and believe there is a case for a review of the Government\u2019s approach to its climate and environment policies which are set to add 30% to UK industrial energy process costs by 2020 and 50% by 2030.\n\u201cClearly in an international sector such as ours energy costs make a huge difference and are a threat to UK competitiveness.\u201d\nStephenson added: \u201cIn our quarterly surveys energy costs are regularly the biggest concern and it\u2019s not just the high-energy users. Energy is a major cost base and has risen sharply in recent years.\n\u201cMost of the larger industries are foreign owned and when they look at where to invest and whether to develop their North East business, the cost of energy in the UK and its exponential growth does not favour us.\u201d\nThe disappearance of spare capacity is mostly the result of policy. Dozens of older coal-fired and gas-fired power plants are closed and under the terms of the EU\u2019s Large Combustion Plant Directive (LCPD).\nThey are being replaced by increasing amounts of wind generation, which is intermittent and less reliable.\nDespite the recent measures introduced in the Energy Act which has been designed to encourage over \u00a3100bn of investment in electricity generation over the next decade investors are still wary of the UK energy sector.\nLabour\u2019s price freeze promise and a number of Coalition policy U-turns have damaged confidence.\nStephenson added: \u201cThe constant shifting in policy, such as the recent announcements to cut solar photovoltaic subsidies are causing major headaches to the investment community and making the country a far less attractive place to invest.\n\u201cInvestors look at a 20-year timescale, but with politicians working to a five-year electoral timescale there is mismatch which is causing major headaches for potential investors. This is creating a perfect storm. Brownouts seem inevitable, but if there\u2019s a bad winter there will be blackouts.\u201d\nHiggins warned of the severe economic impacts any potential blackouts may have, saying: \u201cI am unaware of such an emergency switch off occurring in recent times, although I understand we have been close to this position on several occasions.\n\u201cShould it happen it could mean that some factories might be closed rather than re-opened due to the significant capital costs involved. Therefore in my opinion our energy strategy during the winter months needs to take this into account.\n\u201cMost people would accept some discomfort at home, for a short period of time, rather than being laid off to allow their work place to undertake major repairs or in fact to lose their job because it does not reopen due to the damage done to their workplace.\u201d\nThe price paid to back-up diesel generators can be over ten times the current wholesale price and diesel emits around the same levels of carbon dioxide as coal.\nThe new measures to try and avoid blackouts are set to cost \u00a31bn a year by 2015, adding 5% to energy bills.\nProf Ian Fells, the emeritus professor of energy at Newcastle University, is one of the region\u2019s leading energy experts.\nHe said: \u201cIt all smacks of desperation, and could have been avoided if only successive governments had acted on what has been well-known for years.\u201d\nMeasures to cope with capacity issues\nThe National Grid proposes creating two new mechanisms to curtail demand during peak periods over the next two winters while also aiming to provide incentives for generating units that would otherwise be mothballed or decommissioned to remain on stand-by in case wind farm output proves insufficient.\nBetween November and February in 2014/15 and 2015/16, the projected Demand Side Balancing Reserve (DSBR) would pay customers who agreed to reduce their consumption by a specified amount for up to two hours in response to an instruction from the grid, principally during the peak demand period on week days between 4pm and 8pm.\nThe National Grid has so far received submissions from two dozen interested parties offering up to 1GW of capacity.\nIt is also proposing to create a Supplemental Balancing Reserve (SBR) that would pay operators to keep a number of generating units that would otherwise have been mothballed or decommissioned on standby between November and February of 2014/15 and 2015/16.\nFor the SBR some 2GW of currently mothballed capacity has been offered along with 7GW from plant currently available in the market.\nColin Harrison, director of energy management at Teesside energy business px Group says the two new measures are an insurance policy to cover what is already in place.\nWhile there are increased risks over the coming years he believes there will be enough capacity to cope with all but the most severe winters.\nBob Nicholson, former station manager at the Alcan power station in Northumberland and now a member of the North East Energy Leadership Council, says the capacity issues reflect the loss of much coal-fired capacity.\n\u201cMany coal power stations were able to operate at below maximum capacity and then at times of stress in the system could increase the load they delivered to the grid,\u201d he said.\nHowever the grid is proposing allowing coal-fired power stations, which would otherwise have been mothballed or decommissioned, to remain on standby between November and February of 2014/15 and 2015/16.\nTo avoid disrupting the wider market and government objectives for cleaner electricity, the grid says it would call on these measures as a last resort.\nIf all else fails, National Grid can resort to \u2018MaxGen\u2019, instructing generators to run flat out, or request emergency assistance from other system operators in Ireland and France via the interconnectors.\nAs a last resort, the grid will issue instructions to the regional distribution network operators such as the Northern Power grid to reduce or disconnect demand.\nRedcar steelmaker SSI shuts down some of its operations in a bid to second guess what is known as the Triad charges.\nThere are three half-hour Triad periods every year at times of peak demand, during November to February, and the National Grid uses them to determine charges for the whole winter period.\nLarge industrial users try to second guess when these are, and will receive Triad warnings from market watchers in a bid to keep costs down.\nOne business says it costs \u00a327 to boil a kettle during a Triad period.\nA spokesman for SSI said: \u201cWe have to take these measures on somewhere between 20 and 30 occasions in a year, which is not only a disruption to our operations but also a significant cost to the business.\n\u201cAs a large continuous steel manufacturing business we cannot simply shut down the whole of the operations.\n\u201cHowever, in an attempt to avoid paying the peak charges, we do have to close down parts of the process during the Triad warnings where it is safe to do so.\n\u201cWe cannot stop the steelmaking process but some of the ancillary activities, such as processing the iron ore to make sinter, can be shut down for a period\n\u201cWe have to try and second guess when the Triad period is. Electricity can be a significant cost running into many millions of pounds.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Flirting sometimes is seen as an effective means to catch the attention from a man and it is also helpful in breaking the ice with the strangers. There are some ladies who are born to be flirters, while others could regard flirting as a challenging task. If you are nervous to be engaged in flirting with men, don\u2019t be disappointed, because flirting is kind of skill you should learn and more practice would make you much easier when you really do it.\n1. Try to be approachable.\nIn order to flirt with men, you should wear the clothing which would show something flirtatious and feminine about yourself. If you could find an outfit which help flatter your figure and demonstrate your unique features. Try not to ware anything disheveled or sloppy or clothing. You may show a little skin, avoid doing it too much, your goal is flirtation rather than seduction. Make sure that you are the one who is easy to be approachable. When you go out with some friends of yours, you had better leave them away before you are intended to flirt with someone. Usually men could be easily intimidated by a group of ladies and thus they would be worried about the fact that they would be rejected before your friends. In addition, try your best to keep smiling regularly, which could help you tend to be approachable and confident. Furthermore, you need to show your friendly and open body language whenever possible.\n2. Try to catch men\u2019s attention.\nThere are two approaches to capture a man\u2019s attention, the first one is that you could be coy and wait for him to get close to you. And the other is that you would be bold enough to the initial move by yourself. You should know that some men would be intimidated by a brave lady, but others would appreciate it as being refreshing, for it could eases the pressure on his side. If you want to make a man approach you, you should keep eye contact with him and smile. If you think he is interested in you, then turn your eyes away quickly, and look back at him in a few moments. Once the man shows his interests in you and is courageous enough to get close to you, he surely likes to start with a conversation. As for ladies, more confidence is necessary in making the first move. The procedure is like this; make eye contact, see if he is interested and then get close to him, smile and initiate a conversation. By doing so, you could either compliment him, or find an excuse to speak to him by asking him for the time or to borrowing a pen from. If you find that he is interested in you. That is fine, move on further.\n3. Try to maintain the sparks flowing.\nWhen you start a conversion with a man you met just now, you should remember to laugh at the jokes he makes and direct the conversation towards him. It is common that men prefer talking something about themselves. You could put forward some open-ended questions, and be patient in listening while he gives the answers. The more important is that you should be yourself anyway. If you pretend to be someone else, you would not feel quite confident. If the conversation is going well and you are bold enough, you could try to touch his wrist or arm lightly in a suitable moment. If he would like to get your phone number, you could give it to him when you are really interested in the possibility of dating him. Otherwise, do not give him a fake number. If you are not interested in further move with him, just express your thanks for the enjoyable conversation, find a cordial excuse, and then leave away. When you fail in your first try, never lose confidence. It takes some time to learn flirting technique. The more often you try to flirt, the more confident you become grows. That is the fundamental key to have a successful flirting.\n*Image source: http://www.mensfitness.com/women/dating-advice/how-to-know-when-shes-flirting-with-you\nBeauty Tips for Big Noses\nTags: Approachability \u00d7 Attention \u00d7 Flirting Tips \u00d7 For Her \u00d7 Men\nGeneral Tips for Adult Flirting December 3, 2013\nFlirting Tips with a ManNovember 11, 2013",

        "raw_content": "Intrusive Thoughts -- Flash Backs of Postpartum Depression\nI'm the passenger in this car. I don't care to have control of the radio but please, goddamn it, turn the fucking heat down. It's melting my black soul and I have motion sickness already. Stop jerking the car. I know you don't realize that you're jerking the car but stop anyway. Just stop.\nWe're two hours late, but not really. I didn't make the dinner reservation you suggested I make because I knew we were going to be late. We're always late. So why would I make a reservation I'd have to reschedule? So technically, we're not late, except we are because I remember all of the stupid shit like...Let's leave at 4pm so we can be home at a decent hour and I won't go to bed filled with all the food I kept eating at the Japanese steakhouse because I just couldn't stop, and yes, I would like another whiskey please and thank you.\nI'm angry but we finally make it to the highway, which means we'll just drive in a straight line. Maybe I won't feel like hurling as much now. We pick up speed and now we're cruising. You're trying to get there quick because you know I'm upset and don't feel well, but I know what you're thinking...You never fucking feel well anymore so what the fuck else is new...right?\nI'm sitting here to your right wondering why you want to be seated to my left anymore because I don't talk to you the way I talk to other people and the main reason is because I know you're judging me even though you say you're not, but you are. Oh, you are.\nI sneak a look at the odometer, not because I care how fast you're going, but because the voice in my head is telling me to. Once we get up to 80 MPH it tells me...Now's your chance! Grab the handle and pull it. Yank it hard. Go ahead. Open that fucking door and jump you worthless piece of shit.\nAnd I'm scared and angry and feeling bullied all at the same time. That voice crept in on me seven years ago and told me to do the very same thing when my newborn was in the backseat, nestled between my other sons. Me, sitting to your right. That time, though, I told you to please lock the doors. If you didn't listen, I would have listened, and I wouldn't be in the very same fucking position today as I was back then.\nI didn't listen to the voice but I kept envisioning it happening over and over again. The door would open and fly off the car dramatically just like in those movies with the tornadoes. I'd leap out and hear the wind in my ears as if it were a steady, high pitched scream. When I land on the pavement it ends for me as the car behind yours runs me over and crashes into your car.\nThat scene replays at least fifty times before you pull in front of the restaurant to let us all out.\nOver the weekend, I was brought back to a time in my life I wish was erased forever. I had a flashback from the days of postpartum depression. I was in the car with my family when it took place and I silently turned my head toward the window to breathe through it and never said a word. I only hoped none of you saw me crying.\nIntrusive thoughts can control your every move.\nLabels: Am Writing, Anxiety, Bipolar, Bipolar Disorder, Demented, Intrusive Thoughts, Invisible Illness, Mental Health, Mental Illness, Paranoia, Postpartum Depression, PPD, Suicide, Writing\nKristi Bonney January 19, 2016 at 1:34 PM\nHuge lump in throat after reading this...",

        "raw_content": "Is Self-Doubt Stopping You From Living Your Dreams?\nEveryone suffers from at least a little self-doubt. It\u2019s basic human nature. At the extremes, it can keep you alive. But, in most situations it only serves to limit you.\nThe level of success you achieve is influenced by the level of self-doubt you experience.\nSelf-doubt is one of the primary obstacles to living your dreams. What would you do if you had more confidence in your abilities?\nMost people freeze when faced with self-doubt. Unsuccessful people find an excuse to do something else. If you want to maximize your success, it\u2019s important to find another way.\nUse these strategies to overcome self-doubt and reap the success you deserve:\nBe aware that self-doubt is only as limiting as you allow it to be. Just because you doubt yourself, doesn't mean you have to stop yourself. Self-doubt doesn't have to be limiting at all if you can move past it and take courageous action anyway.\nOvercoming self-doubt is one of the most powerful things you can do to be more successful. While self-doubt doesn\u2019t have to be limiting, most people do find that it inhibits their ability to take action. Your ability to succeed will reach new levels if you can rid yourself of self-doubt.\nLearn that others aren\u2019t concerned with you. By overcoming your self-doubt, you'll realize that others aren't as concerned with you as you thought. This can be very cathartic and create a sense of peace in your life. You\u2019ll find that your courage grows exponentially.\nDevelop optimism. Optimism is the opposite of self-doubt. If you had high expectations for your performance, you\u2019d be pretty optimistic. Optimism is one way to combat self-doubt, and optimism is useful in all parts of life.\nLearn to accept yourself. Self-doubt can arise from having unreasonable expectations of yourself. Accepting yourself as you are will help to soothe any feelings of self-doubt.\nLearn to focus on small wins. Focusing on making progress is another way to limit feelings of self-doubt. It\u2019s also a great approach to life. Small wins are easy to accumulate and maintain. Biting off more than you can chew can be intimidating. I always say \u201ctake baby steps.\u201d\nEffort is worthy of respect. Taking pride in the fact that you tried can short-circuit the doubt you feel in yourself. If effort is good in itself, you\u2019ll be less concerned about failing to get results. Showing up is more than half the battle. Good effort eventually gives good results.\nOvercoming self-doubt will give you the belief that you can overcome other personal obstacles. Each personal battle you win gives you the confidence you need to tackle another. Each won battle makes you a more capable person.\nDealing with self-doubt is part of the human experience. You can either allow it to stop you, plow through it, or work to eliminate it. Eliminating self-doubt takes work, but it\u2019s an extremely effective long-term solution. Otherwise, you\u2019ll be dealing with its barriers for the rest of your life.\nOvercoming self-doubt is a huge step toward self-actualization and success. Most people allow self-doubt to stop them in their tracks. But you aren\u2019t \u201cmost people.\u201d Learn to get past your self-doubt. Start practicing today and enjoy greater success!",

        "title": "A New RNC under Dr Theogene Rudasingwa | Therwandan",
        "raw_content": "Home Politics politicians A New RNC under Dr Theogene Rudasingwa\nA New RNC under Dr Theogene Rudasingwa\nPresence of all founding members, be heard and investigated by the Political Bureau, was ignored.\nIn a meeting of the Political Bureau last month a decision was taken by a \u201cmajority vote\u201d to go ahead with elections in August, 2016, despite dissenting opinion from Dr. Gerald Gahima, Joseph Ngarambe and Jonathan Musonera to the effect that holding elections without first discussing and resolving the major problems facing the organization would destroy it. Dr. Gerald Gahima resigned from a sham electoral committee which Lt. Gen. Nyamwasa controls. Members of the Bureau of the Executive Committee had not, as practice has been, even had the courtesy to discuss the impending decision on election matters with the Coordinator. Subsequently, they sought but failed to deny him a chance to make his opposition to elections in turmoil known to the meeting of the next Political Bureau meeting.\nThrough the disruptive influence of Lt. Gen. Kayumba Nyamwasa and his Tutsi military allies, and the acquiescence of Hutu elements in the Bureau of the Executive Committee, a proposal for the reformed statute of the organization was deemed unimportant and shelved, without giving a chance to the Executive Committee, the Political Bureau and RNC members to discuss it.\nLt. Gen. Kayumba Nyamwasa has now crowned himself the Chairman of the Electoral Commission so that he can decide on the outcomes of the August 2016 elections which, among other things, are intended to expel those with dissenting views and install puppet subordinates over whom he has absolute control.\nThis sad and shameful sequence of events demonstrates that the will of a loud minority, and the silence of a submissive majority, has now become the main driving force, replacing the spirit of debate and compromise that has brought us many achievements in the last five years.\nGiven the above prevailing circumstances, we the undersigned have decided as follows:\n1. We apologize to our members, partners and Rwandans in general that this sad and regrettable state of affairs exists in an organization with a great promise to the Rwandan people and the Great Lakes region.\n2. The Rwanda National Congress must now undertake deep reforms to restore its dignity and trustworthiness, under the name the NEW RWANDA NATIONAL CONGRESS (New-RNC); in French, NOUVEAU CONGRES NATIONAL RWANDAIS; and in Kinyarwanda, IHURIRO RISHYA, with exactly the same vision, objectives and strategies as inspired by Rwanda Briefing of August 2010, and enshrined in the RNC Founding Proclamation of 12th December, 2010, and the RNC Thirteen Strategies Policy Document of 2011.\n3. A Steering Committee is now established to run the affairs of the New-RNC for a period not exceeding thirty (30) days, within which period the new structures and leadership will be decided upon through consultation. Its members are Dr. Theogene Rudasingwa (Chairman), Joseph Ngarambe (Vice Chairman) and Jonathan Musonera (Secretary).\n4. All members of RNC automatically become members of the New-RNC, with all rights and obligations, but each one is free to decide to opt out. All members of the New-RNC will sign the New-RNC Code of Conduct.\n5. With immediate effect we are parting with Lt. Gen. Kayumba Nyamwasa, his allies, and all members of the Bureau of the Executive Committee who have submitted to his will.\n6. All Chairmen in regions remain in office, but they have seven (07) days during which they have to decide on their affiliation with New-RNC. Mr. Chikuru Mwanamayi is appointed the Chairman of Belgium; Mr.Emmanuel Nshimiyimana the Chairman of Brussels; and Mr. Eric Nkombe the Chairman of France.\n7. The New-RNC adopts the new statute as proposed by the committee that was chaired by Dr. Gerald Gahima, pending its discussion within the New-RNC leadership and members. A New-RNC logo will be communicated as soon as possible.\n8. There are no elections expected within the New-RNC until further notice, in any case not earlier than 2018.\n9. The New-RNC stands by the letter and spirit of all decisions undertaken so far under the umbrella of the opposition platform (FDU-Inkingi, AMAHORO PC, PS-Imberakuri, and PDP-Imanzi), but will temporarily exempt itself from the proceedings of the platform in order to reorganize first.\n10. The New-RNC parts with Radio Itahuka, and will therefore not be responsible for its editorial content and activities. The New-RNC will now broadcast through another channel to be communicated as soon as possible.\nWe have not come to the above decisions easily. On the contrary, it has been agonizing months in which we have had to consider the main purpose of our struggle, the interests of our members, and those of our partners and Rwandans in general.\nWe face a formidable yet declining enemy in the form of President Paul Kagame\u2019s dictatorial regime. President Kagame is armed, rich, dangerous and poised to extend his rule indefinitely in 2017. Our ideas and practice must be such that we face his RPF dictatorship with superior ideas, disciplined practice, and an efficient organization that networks with the whole Rwandan society.\nHowever, removing President Paul Kagame from power, though necessary, is not sufficient to justify any means and more sacrifices by Rwandan people unless the pursuit and exercise of power in Rwanda by cliques is uprooted decisively and completely.\nThere is a lot of urgent and difficult work to do immediately that should be our priority. All Rwandans, Africa and the international community have to be mobilized to stop President Paul Kagame from becoming life President in 2017. Rwandans must pool their energies and those of neighbors in the Great Lakes region to prevent another costly regional war through a negotiated, peaceful, political settlement. An international conference on Rwanda, among all Rwandan opposition groups and civil society, must be convened to deliberate on a post-Kagame future on Rwanda, notably on the future of security institutions, truth and reconciliation, democracy with Rwandan safeguards, and regional peace and security. The networks of collaboration and coordination among Rwandan opposition groups and civil society must be strengthened.\nWe must rededicate ourselves to uncovering all crimes committed by RPF in Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo from 1990 until now, shed light on the crimes committed by the MRND regime including those of 1973, and bring to light the crimes committed by MDR PARMEHUTU during its reign. Those involved in shooting down the presidential plane in 1994, killing President Juvenal Habyarimana of Rwanda and President Cyprian Ntaryamira of Burundi, will have to account. In telling the whole truth, and expecting every Rwandan to tell the truth, the aim is not to punish, but to heal and restore from trauma. A general amnesty whose terms will be negotiated with all national stakeholders will provide the necessary framework so that Rwanda may begin to forgive, reconcile, unite and heal at last. We must have the courage to remember together all victims of injustice. That journey must begin with us here, and now.\nThe New-RNC is an umbrella, broad-based organization for all Rwandans to exert pressure and advocate for democratic change through peaceful means.\nIt has to hit the road again running, reforming and reorganizing as it undertakes the tasks before it. It cannot afford to be disrupted by factions, distracted by legalism and bureaucracy, intimidated by militarism, nor tolerate toxic indiscipline especially in the upper echelons of its leadership.\nThe New-RNC must directly reach out to all its members and the whole Rwandan society, by cutting out all bureaucracy, and gradually transform itself into a modern networked organization that is capable of winning by being nimble and agile.\nOnly through a permanent victory of all for all can the true meaning of Rwanda\u2019s political independence be finally realized, the blood of millions of Rwandans atoned for, and the sacrifices of freedom fighters before us retain the catalytic value of creating a free, just, united, peaceful, democratic and prosperous Rwanda.\nLet us go forward with a spirit of love as brothers\nPrevious articleI am So Happy Because Britain Is In a Mess: President Kagame\nNext articleWe welcome the new RNC",

The plantations of foreign wood species are the integral characteristic of Valaam\u2019s landscape, which make its unique look. The originality is that foreign wood species can be met on a vast territory and they make a single whole with native plantations. Secondly, the plantations of foreign species are rather old. Thirdly, foreign wood species are various in family and character. Finally, the combination of the landscape elements and architectural monuments makes it even more attractive. At the same time it is important to remember that this is a region with severe climatic and soil conditions.\nThe bringing of the first foreign wood species to the island is connected with the name of its superior Father Superior Damaskin, who managed the cloister since 1839 till 1881. However, at that time there already were \u201cfew huge oaks and lindens, which were brought to the island by people\u201d.\nOne of the monastery books says: \u201cThis induced Father Damaskin to grow not only oaks, but other wood species on the island\u201d. The nurture was organized in a big way, taking into consideration forest and agricultural demands. This may be judged by the following record: \u201cA nursery forest of coniferous and deciduous trees: cedar, larch, poplar, chestnut, silver fir and so on was organized between the mountains. Then young trees were planted in the different parts of the island. Sometimes the cloister sent the trees to Petersburg, Finland and other places\u201d. A. Andreev also confirms this: \u201cCedar, chestnut, larch, silver firoak, elm, maple and other species are growing at the nursery forest\u2026\u201d So all the microclimatic conditions were given proper weigh.\n\u00abAlleys and woods of foreign wood species were planted on Valaam for a long time untill the 30-ies of the XX century. The main function of these plantations was a decorative one. In the 30-ies the planting were made for industrial purpose. This is confirmed by the presence of mixed plantations or, as forestry specialists say, specimen of larch and silver fir with the native species (pine, fir-tree, birch). The first information about Valaam\u2019s foreign wood species is in the article \u201cGardening and truck farming on the island of Valaam\u201d, which was published in 1870. The article included \u201cthe list of native and foreign trees and bushes of Valaam\u201d. By that time, 50 species of foreign woods had been planted on Valaam, 30 of them were trees. Not all of them were kept till today.\nThe registration showed that there are 40 foreign wood species on Valaam. Most of them (68%) are decorative bushes, which are located on the farmland of the monastery and on the abbot\u2019s cemetery. The majority of trees also grow here. There are five species of foreign coniferous woods: Siberian larch, Cedar Siberian pine, Siberian silver fir, Murrey\u2019s pine and West thuja. Three of these species are of the most scientific and economic interest. They are wide spread on the territory of Valaam and grow in different soil and climatic conditions. Self-sown planting of these species can be often met in the plantations of native wood species. That is the evidence that they have successfully acclimatized on the islands.\nLarch is one of the most spread on Valaam foreign wood species. It can be met in 23 places on six islands of the archipelago and it forms 9 woods and 6 alleys. Sometimes single trees or groups of 3-10 trees can also be seen. The age of the majority of larch plantations is 100-130 years. There are six zones of this specimen at the age of 45-50 years. Nowadays on Valaam larch belongs to one of the largest trees, its plantations are characterized with high productivity. Its forest yield is 1.5-2 times more than the yield of the most productive pineries and fir-woods. The trunks of larch are slender and easy to peel of rind. Their height is 30-32 meters 80-100 cm in diameter.\nA splendid larch wood of 60 trees (1984) is growing in the narrow near Konevskie lakes. One of the largest trees on Valaam is situated here. It is 33 meters high and 99 cm in diameter. Its age is 120 years. A wood of 120 trees near Winter hotel is also impressive. However, at that place the conditions for growing are worse, so the trees are 20-25 meters high. As many large trees are in the wood on the abbot\u2019s cemetery. However, many of them were uprooted during the storm of 1985. Still, larch is a sure-footed tree and is rarely uprooted by wind.\nAn imposing larch alley of 237 trees sets off the road to the abbot\u2019s cemetery. Tracery crowns of the trees close in high above the ground and form a wonderful vault. Other larch alleys are much shorter and consist of 15-30 trees. However, they are also impressive because of their beauty and monumentality.\nSilver fir is as spread on Valaam as larch. It is planted in small groups near buildings or in the form of alleys. It is often used for protecting fields and gardens from northern winds. It yields to larch in the size of trunk and forest yield. But it also forms a good growing energy. Its trunks are slender, straight. The height of silver fir is usually 20-25 meters. Silver fir plantings are also of different age. Trees of 110-130 years old prevail, some trees are 70-100 years old. Six zones are planted with finnish specimen, which are 45 years old. Silver fir is a slender beautiful tree with a thick crown, dark-green needles and gray rind. It is able to live till 200-250 years, but at the age of 60-70 is often affected by rot. It often happens because of truck injuries, which are common on Valaam. They are often made by elks, which feed with the rind of silver fir. Silver fir also suffers from wind. Finally, old plantations of silver fir on Valaam are now twice smaller and need renovation.\nSilver fir is often called a monastery tree. It is difficult to say if monks liked this specimen more than other trees, but they surely appreciated it for its beauty and wide use for the decorative purposes. This is confirmed by silver fir plantations along the roads and hermitages. A silver fir alley, which decorates the road to the abbot\u2019s cemetery, is well known. Unfortunately, it had been damaged by winds and people and now looks worse than before. A so-called \u201calley of a lonely monk\u201d, which is near the upper garden, is also popular. The two rows of trees are planted so close to each other that only one man can walk between them. This was made in order not to give monks an opportunity to look aside spiritual life. However, it is more likely that this alley was made for protective purposes. A similar alley was made along the northeast edge of the church hill. Thick uniserial alleys of silver fir protected fields and gardens near the White hermitage and on Nikolskiy and Saint islands.\nOn Valaam silver fir gives many seeds (cones bear up on the peaks of the crowns), which are thrown 150-200 meters around the tree. It reproduces itself by cloning: its lower branches, which touch the ground, can strike roots. Silver fir can grow under the curtain of fir-woods. However, its young individuals can be rarely meet on Valaam for elks eat them. A cedar Siberian pine, which grows in six places of the archipelago, is of a great interest. On Valaam Siberian cedar does no form woods or alleys. It can be met in the form of small groups or separate trees. Unfortunately, its number is not large: in 1984 there were 123 cedars, 800 silver firs and 1300 larches on the archipelago. More than 80% of cedars grow near the White hermitage.The height of Valaam cedars is 20-25 meters and 54 cm in diameter. Cedars have dark-green crown, long conifers of 5 needles.\nValaam cedars are no more than 130 years old, their lifetime is 300-350 years. The majority of cedars on Valaam grow with the other foreign wood species, sometimes with pines and fir-trees. This is not good for cedar because it grows rather slow and easily gets under the curtain of other trees. As the result two a third of cedars is weak. One-two trees perish every year. At the same time there is no alternative to them for young trees are eaten by elks and also perish.\nCedars bear fruit satisfactorily, but their cones are carried away by woodpeckers. People also harm the tree. In this situation it is necessary to renovate the plantations of cedar on Valaam and to protect the remaining trees. One more foreign wood species on Valaam is west thuja. It is an original tree with scale-shaped needles. It was born in the North America, where rather short (till 20 m), but thick (70 cm) trees can be met. It grows very slow. The specimen was planted on Valaam twice: in the beginning of the century and in the post-war years. Only 6 trees, five of them on the abbot\u2019s cemetery, remain from the monastery times. The best trees are 21 and 24 cm in diameter and 11 meters high. The second planting was made near Winter hotel. The height of the trees is 3-4 meters. The planting looks decorative. The last foreign wood species is Murrey\u2019s pine, which appeared on the siland in late 30-ies. It was born in the North America.\nNowadays about 100 Mureey\u2019s pines grows there. They are surrounded by 40 native pines. The height and diameter of both specimen is common: they are 20 meters and 18 cm correspondingly. The distinctions of Murrey\u2019s pine are dark trunk, covers with scales and curly needles. The first place among deciduous foreign wood species belongs to petiolate oak. It forms rather large woods, beautiful alleys and can also be seen in the form of small groups and separate trees. Altogether there are about 790 oaks, which are more than 100 years old, and 30-40 young trees on Valaam. More than half of all oaks grows on Skitsky island, others \u2013 on Valaam and only 4 trees, which are 50 years old, grow on Zelenyi island.\nThe oldest Valaam oaks (250 years old) grow in a form of alley along the road to the Winter hotel. There are 12 oaks in the alley, but a half of them is about 120 years old and have been planted instead of the laid-down ones. The trunk of the largest oak is 140-160 cm in diameter. Its height is 23 meters, the size of the crown - 14x24 m.\nOak woods are of the most silviculture interest. Two of them - Abbot\u2019s and Beloskitskaya \u2013 are the plantations of one species. In the first wood the trees are planted densely. At present time the trees are close, their trunks are straight and thin. About 140 oaks grows here, their forest yield per a hectare is 377 meters.\nIn the second wood the trees are planted seldom. There are 183 oaks here. The oaks have thick trunks (1.5 times larger than the oaks in the first wood) and branchy crowns. But the productivity of this wood is 1.5 lower. But it is very difficult to define which wood is more beautiful. Oaks on Valaam are more impressive than any other foreign wood species. When one enters the oak wood, it may seem that one is not in the north, but in the midlatitudes.\nMixed oak woods are also very beautiful. There are 7 oak alleys on Valaam. The most beautiful one is an alley of 33 stocky oaks along the road to Belyi hermitage. It was planted in 1855. The trees are planted seldom in 10 meters and grow freely. The trunks of most trees are more than 50 cm in diameter. Their height is between 22 and 25 meters. The condition of the trees is good. Another alley, which connects Konevskoe lake and Moskovsky bay, holds out worse. Some of the trees were planted at the low shores and they suffer underflooding. Other trees are growing in shade of the forest. There are about 00 oaks in this alley, but a third of them is dry and about 30 trees are dead. However, oaks still are very impressive. An alley of 58 trees on the terrace near a 3-meter high mountain looks very pleasant. Still the impression is worsened because of young pines and fir-trees, which close the oaks. The alley needs protection, still the condition of the trees is normal. Other oak trees also are in satisfactory condition. Oaks on Valaam bear lots of acorns. Of course not of them come up, but still the trees reproduce very well. The young oaks can be seen even 200-250 meters away from the oak woods and alleys. The acorns can be moved by jays and squirrels, which eat them in autumn. Thus, oak can spread all over the island. Still there are some factors that prevent it. So it is good fortune if one sees a young oak of 2-3 meters high on Valaam. The acorns of Valaam can be seeds for spreading oaks far to the north. The test plantings of oaks in the Kivach reserve, made by K. Andreev in 1959 are demonstrative. He used acorns from four regions of the country, including Leningradskaya region and Valaam. After long observations he concluded that the oaks from Valaam acorns have more growing energy and are not hurt by frosts. At the age of 10 years Valaam oaks were 2.3 meters high, while oaks from Leningradskaja region were only 1.4 meters. At the border of its natural habitat, which covers the European part of the country, oak has a long lifetime. Some trees live up to athousand years and even more. The condition of Valaam oaks, which are 250 years old, as already have been said, is satisfactory. The main danger comes from people. On the farmland of the monastery, where people\u2019s impact is the largest, the portion of good oaks is only 5%, which is 8-15 times lower than at the other places. Nowadays there are 48 large oaks on the farmland.\nAsh-tree can be seen in the different parts of Valaam. It is a high slender tree with tracery leaves. Ash is considered to be a companion of oak. Its natural habitat covers a sizeable territory of the European part of the country. Ash grows on rich soils and lives till 150-300 years. It is usually about 40 meters high. On Valaam ash grows in a form of separate trees near hermitages. Only on the farmland of the monastery there are 30 trees. Their height is 20-25 meters and trunks are 60 cm in diameter. Ash blossoms before the leaves appeared. At this time one may take ash for a dry tree. The fruits ripen in late autumn and stay on trees even in winter. The ash-fruit is a yellow samara. There are ash-trees of three generations on Valaam: they are 100, 50 and 15 years old. The youngest trees were planted after the forestry was organized in 1964. There are about 40 trees of that time, but almost all of them are damaged by elks.\nThere is one more oak\u2019s companion on Valaam \u2013 linden. Its birthplace is West Ukraine and Moldavia. The difference between the two species of linden is small. First of all, they differ by the size of a leaf, though this can be seen only by an experienced man. The other difference is in the color of the lower side of a leaf. Linden with yellow leaves can be seen on the farmland of the monastery and in four more places on the territory of the island. It grows freely and forms a low branchy crown. Its height is no more than 15-20 meters. Sometimes it grows separately or in small groups. It is most beautiful while blossoming. Three species of poplar grows on Valaam: white poplar, balmy poplar and fragrant poplar. The balmy one is the most prevalent. It was born in the North America, but is planted everywhere in Russia. It grows fast and forms a tree of 20 meters with dark-gray rind and resinous buds. It stands separately or in small groups on the farmland of the monastery, on the abbot\u2019s cemetery and on Svjatoy island.\nThe most large and beautiful is white or silver poplar. It naturally grows in the south and midlatitudes. On Valaam it belongs to large trees with the trunk of 100-200 cm in diameter. It is 25 meters high. Because of its branchy crown covered with silver leave sit can\u2019t be confused with any other tree. This polar is a real decoration of any landscape. However, there are few poplars of this kind on Valaam because at the age of 100-120 this tree is easily uprooted by wind.\nFragrant popler is from east Siberia and Far East. It is similar to a balmy one. It grows on the farmland of the monastery. Its young leaves have pleasant smell. Two species of elm can be met on Valaam \u2013 smooth and shaggy. Both of them naturally grow in the European part of Russia, the northern border of the first one is at the latitude of Petrozavodsk, of the second \u2013 at the latitude of Saint-Petersburg. On Valaam both species grow only in plantings. They differ by their leaves. The smooth elm has unequal-sided leaf, the second elm has a larger leaf with a sharp top. Elms grow fast and form a wide branchy crown with dark-green leaves. Both of the species have a short lifetime. The typical example is that of the alley along Vladimirskiy bridge. This 300-meters long alley if made of an oak from one side and of an elm on the other side. The dropout of oak is 28%, of elm \u2013 64%. A natural reproduction of elm happens rarely. Two species of willow \u2013 brittle willow and Shverin\u2019s willow also belong to foreign wood species of Valaam. Both specimen grow only on the farmland of the monastery (they were planted in late 30-ies). Nowadays this are beautiful trees 10-15 meters high.\nMore than a half of all foreign wood species on Valaam are bushes. The first place among them belongs to lilac. It is represented by two species: Hungarian and ordinary willow. Both of them are planted in different places of the archipelago. Most of them grow on the farmland of the monastery and near hermitages. There is no lilac on the abbot\u2019s cemetery. A grievous atmosphere is needed here and lilac is no good for this. (Nowadays, two-three bushes of lilac still appeared on the cemetery). Ordinary lilac is of different colors: white, violet and red. During blossoming some places of Valaam look like lilac gardens. At that time the air is saturated with the pleasant odor of lilac and visitor dazzle of the beautiful flowers. This view one will remember for good.\nChubushnik is also a beautiful bush (sometimes it is incorrectly called jasmine). Chubushnik blossoms with large white flowers, which exhale a tender but strong odour. The bushes are large, up to 3 meters high. They can be found on the farmland of the monastery and on the abbot\u2019s cemetery. Honeysuckle also grows here. Its flowers are rose or red. They are set in pairs. The berries are red or yellow. They are eaten by birds, but poisonous for people. The bushes are 2-3 meters high.\nOne more beautiful bush \u2013 barberry also grows on Valaam. Its beauty is not in its flowers, because they are barely noticeable and small. The bush is beautiful with its thorny shoots and green leaves, which turn yellow and red in autumn. By that time clusters of small red berries are already mature. The berries are eatable. A plantation of barberry near the White hermitage is very nice, it also can be seen on the farmland, on the cemetery and near the former forestry.\nTwo species of shadberry are planted on Valaam. They form bushes about 3-5 meters high. Their flowers are small, white and easily noticeable. It blossoms and bears fruit annually. The fruits are dark-violet with the original taste. With the Christian perseverance, the monks of Valaam have created a fertile layer of soil on rocks and planted there strange trees and bushes. Suffice it to say that on Valaam melons grew in the in the ground half a century ago.\nThere are lots of rose-bushes on Valaam. One can see three species of them: thorny, wrinkled and dove-colored. The first got its name for its numerous small thorns, the second \u2013 for its wrinkled leaves and the last one \u2013 for the color of its rind and leaves. The beauty of the rose-bushes is in its flowers. The thorny rose blossoms with large white flowers. The other roses are dark-red, but fragrant. The dove colored rose adapted to the conditions of Valaam best of all: its bushes can be seen far from the plantation and even in the woods.\nSometimes one can see streamside maple, elder and dogwood on Valaam. The maple is especially beautiful in autumn, when its leaves are bright red. The elder is intersting for its small orange fruits, which are eaten by birds. Dogwood has nice red shoots. There are five species of hawthorn on the farmland of the monastery. These are hish and thorny bushes or short trees. Its flowers are white and rather large. In the autumn its leaves become yellow, brown or red. Hawthorn are good for making a protective fence. In the conclusion, it is important to mention that now there is a necessity to organize an arboretum on the island. Seedling from the nursery can be used for renovation of woods and alleys and for settling the most valuable foreign wood species on the mainland. A special attention should be paid to the gardens of Valaam. They are planted not only on the farmland of the monastery, but near all of the hermitages. Monks were very serious about them and have achieved remarkable results. At the exhibitions of gardening in Saint-Petersburg, Moscow and abroad they\u2019ve won lots of awards. The efforts on making gardens started with choosing a place for it. The monks took into consideration not only the fertility of soils, but the protectability from winds and the microclimatic characteristics of the area. Monks learned to make soil artificially. They did not bring it from the mainland, but used the soil from the island. One monastery book says: \u201cthe soil on Valaam is rough and stony and if you want to make it suitable for trees, you should take trash and wood chips from the island and intermingle it with soil. After rotting through it forms a good mellow soil, which is nourishing for trees. The layer of the created soil was about a meter thick. This was a troublesome activity. It is known, for example, that it took 20 years to make a garden on the place of a stone breaking. If a garden was placed on a slope, then terraces were created. It was necessary to think over the protection of the garden against winds. If a garden was far from forests, then a special protective line of silver firs or fir-trees was made. In summer the trees and bushes were to be watered. For this purpose a water-pipe was made to the gardens on the farmland of the monastery.\nThe beginning of the gardening on Valaam belongs to the time when the monastery was managed by Father Superior Nazary. That was in 1782-1801. That is mentioned in the article \u201cGardening and truck farming on Valaam\u201d. The author of the article is unknown, but it was brought to the editorial office by Father Damaskin. The time of the prosperity of the monastery on Valaam is connected with the name of this man, who had administered the cloister for 42 years (1839-1881). The golden age of the gardening on Valaam also belongs to this period. The article says: \u201c The first apples were planted under the Father Superior Nazary. Still it is unknown what were the first apples on Valaam and how did they get to the island\u201d. Later the main supplier of the seedlings to the island was a famous Gegel\u2019s arboretum in Petersburg. In 1852 a huge consignment of seedlings of 23 species was brought two the island. Four years later 45 more species got to Valaam. Altogether there are 60 species of apples in the gardens of Valaam. Besides apples, the monks planted pears, cherries, plums, and three species of currant, gooseberry and raspberry. The harvests were not constant. As the monastery books tell \u201cin the good harvest there were about 50 tons of apples, in bad years there were no apples at all. Pears, plums and cherries on Valaam are also productive, but the fruits of these trees rarely grew ripe in the open air\u201d. Bushes beared fruits more regularly. Monks and pilgrims gathered about 5 poods of fresh berries for the dinner.\nThe largest gardens laid out on the farmland. There are 3 of them here. They are located on different heights and are called the upper (Apothecaries\u2019), middle and lower gardens. Their areas are 2,5; 1,1 and 1,5 hectares correspondingly. There were about 530 fruit trees in the gardens in 1885. After the monastery stopped its work the gardens fell into decay. Their productivity decreased many of the treed dried up. By 1984 the gardens were transferred to the balance of the forestry. Unfortunately, there was no gardener there, so there was still no one to take care of them. A year later Institution of Gardening started renovating the gardens. By that time there were 377 apple-trees, 2 pear-trees, 108 currant bushes, 610 gooseberry bushes, 20 raspberry canes and some cherries. The age of some apple-trees was 100-150 years old, but they still beared fruits.\nThe institution worked out special measures to renovate the gardens. In 1987 an arboretum was created. New species were brought to the island from the mainland. The fame must be returned to the gardens. But that\u2019s not the point. Valaam can and should be a center of sapling growing in order to spread them to the north.",

The U.S. Geological Survey said in a report called the \"HayWired Scenario\" that a magnitude 7.0 earthquake on Hayward Fault located under Oakland could kill as many as 800 people and injure up to 18,000. \u201cThis fault is what we sort of call a tectonic time bomb,\u201d USGS earthquake geologist emeritus David Schwartz told the Los Angeles Times. \u201cIt\u2019s just waiting to go off.\u201d Researches said the Hayward Fault is dangerous because it runs through \"one of the most urbanized\" areas in the nation, stretching along the East Bay from Richmond and Berkeley up north, through Oakland, and spanning south toward Fremont. A map showing the potential shaking from an earthquake along the Hayward Fault, located along the eastern part of the San Francisco Bay. (USGS) The USGS, citing findings from a simulated tremor with an epicenter in Oakland modeled to take place at 4:18 p.m. on April 18, said the disaster would cause 400 fires that could destroy 50,000 homes. Nearly half a million people would be displaced, authorities said. Researchers said East Bay residents could be without water from anywhere between six weeks to six months, according to the report. Electricity could be out for up to four weeks in some locations.

More than half the world's active volcanoes located above ground are in this ring, according to the USGS. A map showing the \"Ring of Fire,\" where more than half of the world's active volcanoes above sea level encircle the Pacific Ocean (UGSG) The region is the location of most of Earth's subduction zones, where oceanic plates slide under the lighter continental plates. Earthquakes tend to happen when those plates scrape or subside underneath each other, and, when that happens at sea, it can trigger tsunamis.",

In college, I studied English, Spanish, and German, and wrote my thesis on National Geographic to explore different perspectives on travel writing and photography. I studied and taught in Cuba, Ecuador, and Mexico, was a Fulbright teacher in Austria, and worked as a freelance writer and translator from wherever my travels took me. I went back to the States briefly to study comparative and world literature at Cornell, where I wrote about the space of the hotel and the concept of home in Spanish, Japanese, and English novels.\nIn 2012, my wanderlust and my now-husband convinced me to make a permanent move to Germany, where I write, translate, and teach, and collect absurdly long German words every day. We now run a local business and travel the world together, sometimes for work but mostly for pleasure. Many years ago, we fell in love on a two-month motorcycle trip to Armenia and back, through 14 countries and one self-proclaimed autonomous republic. We live in a picturesque village (pop. 300) in the German countryside outside of Frankfurt and spend about a quarter of the year on the road.\nI started this travel blog to share practical tips, but also to tell you all my stories about the best parts of authentic traveling: the thrill of making it from Germany to Mt. Ararat on a motorcycle without a map, hallucinatory food poisoning in Turkey, almost getting tipped over by a pod of humpback whales in a glorified rowboat captained by a Panamanian named Jesus, getting trapped in a sweltering elevator in Athens, and following a secret map to a perfect beach in Thailand.\nI hope this blog helps you plan adventures of your own. Even though the world has already been mapped, it\u2019s still there to be explored.\nPlease leave a comment on the site to let me know what you think, and you can always get in touch with me at carly.ottenbreit@gmail.com. I\u2019d love to hear from you. Thanks for reading!\nCarly Ottenbreit\nI've visited 50 out of 195 countries worldwide\nAll reviews and opinions expressed here are my own \u2013 there is no paid or sponsored content on this site. I love my day job and don\u2019t earn my living as a travel blogger. Not that there\u2019s anything wrong with travel blogging as a profession (it seems like a pretty cool job!), but that\u2019s just not my goal. I want this to be a free and creative space to develop ideas and work on my writing without having to worry about customer demands, monetizing a brand, or optimizing my content for SEO.\nI write on my own terms in the spirit of sharing and spreading information that all good travelers live by, and I hope the information here will help you plan grand adventures of your own!\nDebrah Golden says:\nSo nice to find your site. Your mom told me of your travels, your web site is lovely. I\u2019ve bookmarked it and will keep up with your travels. I couldn\u2019t get the article about the Thai elephants to come up, I\u2019ll check back later. Thanks for such a nice Sunday afternoon!\nHi Debrah, thank you for your kind words! I will post about the elephants soon, I promise! Hugging that 3-month old baby was such a special moment in my life.",

        "raw_content": "TORONTO, June 3, 2015 -- Toronto Real Estate Board President Paul Etherington announced that TREB Commercial Network Members reported 377,052 square feet of space leased on a per square foot net basis with pricing disclosed in May 2015. This result was down from 629,864 total square feet leased in May 2014. The industrial market segment accounted for 80 per cent of total square footage leased.\nWhile the amount of space leased was down on a year-over-year basis in May, average per square foot net lease rates were up for the industrial and commercial/retail segments. The average office lease rate was down compared to 2014.\n\u201cCommercial leasing activity is often volatile on a month-to-month basis, with one large deal, or the absence thereof, making all the difference to the aggregate results. However, the fact that the average industrial lease rate was up in May compared to last year suggests that the demand for space in this important market segment remains strong,\u201d said Mr. Etherington.\nThe total number of combined industrial, commercial/retail and office properties sold in May 2015 amounted to 52 \u2013 down from 61 transactions reported during the same month in 2014. The average industrial sale price on a per square foot basis was down slightly year-over-year. The average selling prices for commercial/retail and office properties were down by a greater amount, but this was largely due to a change in the mix of properties sold this year compared to last.\n\u201cBoth the sale and leasing markets for commercial properties are dependent on firms\u2019 outlook for the economy. While the positive impact of the lower Canadian dollar is promising for businesses in the Greater Toronto Area, uncertainty in the broader Canadian economic picture will likely feed through into some periodic volatility in results,\" continued Mr. Etherington.",

I went to Lee school, and I always thought it was odd to go to a school named after a military leader from the side that lost the war, but I thought \"what the heck\". It didn't inform my politics, and I doubt it does for others.\nIs there an online repository anywhere that provides a background of the people for whom city streets are named? I think Denver was named after an old general. What about other streets? Do any of those namesakes have shady pasts that would cause a re-evaluation of whether the names should remain the same? I'm fearful this is a slippery slope.\nRe: Historical basis for street names\nI guess I\u2019ve never understood the mindset of people who look for things to be outraged or upset about especially team names, street names, or school names.\nI mentioned this when Tate Brady\u2019s memory was dragged through the gravel a few years back in the re-naming of Brady Street that there were other members of the Klan who were prominent Tulsans at the time and they still have buildings or streets named after them around the city.\nWe can waste a lot of time and energy re-naming things which remind us of our ignorant or hurtful past or we can see the names and let them remind us of how far we have come as humankind.\nQuote from: Markk on August 14, 2017, 06:54:55 pm\nMost avenues are named for cites.

Tulsa is a rather young city so... Cities west of the Mississippi west of Main, east of the river east of Main. And alphabetically (with Main being A I suppose).\nNow the streets running East/West North of the tracks or 1st Street I believe are named after people, or at least some of them are/were.\nI just ain't got time to be offended by street signs.\nAnd the online repository you seek can be found by clicking on the link below.\nQuote from: erfalf on August 14, 2017, 08:27:46 pm\nN/S west of Sheridan that aren't main throughfares (Peoria, Utica, Lewis, Harvard, Yale, Sheridan) are mainly named for cities.

        "raw_content": "The physical world often gives us insight into the unseen, spiritual side of creation, just as creation itself proclaims the glory and power of its Creator. The Living Bible very clearly describes this knowledge:\nFor the truth about God is known to them instinctively. God has put this knowledge in their hearts. From the time the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky and all that God made. They can clearly see his invisible qualities -- his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse whatsoever for not knowing God. Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn't worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. The result was that their minds became dark and confused. (Romans 1:19-21)\nThe Apostle Paul was trying to help us see that the things in the world around us reveal important aspects of what is unseen, but still very real. There are a host of diseases to which we, animals, and plants are susceptible that come from mildews, spores, and viruses. Some can hardly be described as living organisms, as they are so persistent, so enduring, and so very dark in their nature. These diseases should cause us to stop and think. Are they telling us something we should know? They wait for times of weakness and stress in order to invade, take over and, if possible, turn the host into a great factory for producing more of their own useless, destructive kind. Finally, worn out, the unfortunate host dies under the burden, deprived of nourishment, light, and life.\nSmut is a good example of this, in regards to both the fungus which infects weakened plants, and the moral degradation which pervades modern society. No one in his right mind would eat smut-infected corn, yet in some circles it has become a delicacy. In the moral analogy, an upright person would not give his soul over to spiritual smut, yet many falter under the temptation to do what they know is wrong, and even delight in it. Unless one promptly and deliberately turns away from it, the nature of evil begins its work in his soul, just as smut degrades a plant.\nEventually, a person's taste buds can be trained until what was once revolting becomes a delicacy. He puts away the revulsion he naturally feels at eating the twisted, discolored masses of spores (i.e., corn smut) just to have a new and perverse pleasure in life. In the moral analogy, that is like silencing the voice of one's conscience which is telling him not to do something that hurts another person. The toll of \"smut\" weighs on the body and taxes the soul, no matter how much one enjoys it. In the end, as with any sin, it takes away the life of its possessor.\nThe Infection of the First Communities\nSomething like the invasion of smut happened in the spiritual realm many years ago, as the light faded in the early church. In the beginning, the Holy Spirit enabled them to do what has seemed impossible ever since -- put away the obvious deeds of the flesh, such as division, greed, and war, and instead, by His grace, live together in harmony and peace.1 This was the faith they received, the persuasion and the grace that they could do what was otherwise impossible for men to do.2 But Christian theology now proclaims it is impossible, yielding to the overwhelming weight of historical evidence that the flesh really is mightier than the Spirit.3\nAnd it was impossible for the infected, disease-ridden, and smut-laden body the early church became, which mutated beyond all recognition in just a few centuries from its beginnings.4 Since then, that dead body has filled the world with her spores of mistrust, suspicion, and unbelief, teaching that obedience to God's word is not only impossible, but is to be considered an active evil called \"works salvation.\"\nHowever, it was not always so. The first-century church had been the bride-to-be,5 whose corporate life together, gathered in communities following the pattern of the one in Jerusalem, was the light of the world.6 With that light, she was bringing salvation to the ends of the earth (as they knew it then).7\nAs the willingness of the many faded, as silence began to fill the gatherings (except for the emerging clergy), and as more and more disciples took thought for themselves, no longer freely sharing whatever worldly goods they had with one another, the light began to dim. As men began to speak in the flesh, seeking their own glory, the light of revelation ceased to shine upon them in their gatherings. The gates of the unseen realm began to prevail over the church.\nThat spiritual light only shone on those with the glory of their Master, the glory to be one as He and the Father are one.8 In the end, there were only a few who still had the glory of their Master. It departed as their unity crumpled in the face of things like showing favoritism to the rich, not heeding the cry of the poor and hungry in their midst, and not keeping themselves unstained from the world.9 This was in stark contrast to their beginnings when the apostles were ready to stop teaching rather than let the cry of the neglected widows and orphans ascend to heaven, for that cry would have condemned them before their God.10\nEarly in the second century, when James wrote his epistle, he could see where their friendship with the world was leading them -- to wars and murder in order to obtain the things they lusted after. And in this, James was certainly a prophet, as Christian history abundantly shows. The common life of the early believers was history by then, a part of their now-legendary beginnings, meaning that as far as the lives of the people were concerned, Acts 2 and 4 may as well have been a myth. It was no longer the living experience of believers everywhere or even anywhere. Another gospel, another Jesus was being received, as Paul had already warned. They eventually even changed His name, as most modern translations call Him by a name that would have been foreign to His ears.\nFor if one comes and preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted, you bear this beautifully. (2 Corinthians 11:4)\nAfter Paul's warnings, the cries of the other apostles and prophets, such as John and James, were also ignored.11\nThe beginnings of the transition to another Jesus and another gospel and another Holy Spirit are easily found in the Scriptures, but not readily recognized for what they are. To do so would be to question the validity, not just of Christianity past (the horrors which many recoil from), but also of Christianity today as the vehicle of God's salvation. Otherwise, one must repudiate the life and practices of the early churches as recorded in the New Testament, for the two -- the Christian Church of the past nineteen centuries, and the vibrant, communal life of the churches in the first century -- are irreconcilable.\n1. Acts 2:44-46\n2. This is the faith \"once for all received\" of Jude 1:3, not a set of doctrinal statements anyone living any kind of life can subscribe to and say they believe.\n3. For instance, although the Pilgrims viewed the early church as the pattern to be restored, and attempted to do so in the new world, they failed.\n4. \"Between the years AD 100 and AD 500, the Christian Church changed almost beyond recognition. ... [At first] The organization of the church was still fluid...there were no creeds to be recited, no set forms of worship... [By AD 500] The worship of the church was entirely liturgical with fixed, set forms of prayer...\" Tony Lane, The Lion Book of Christian Thought (Lion Publishing Company, Batavia, Illinois, 1984), page 8.\n5. 2 Corinthians 11:2; Ephesians 5:25-27\n7. Paul's words in Acts 13:47 were taken from Isaiah 49:6. Obviously, the knowledge that the apostolic ministry was to raise up the twelve spiritual tribes of Jacob to bring about the promises made to the fathers, as Paul spoke of in Acts 26:6-7, has been lost, along with many other things that need to be restored in the last days.\n9. See James 2 and 5.\n11. These are found in First, Second, and Third John as well as the letters to the churches in Revelation 2 and 3, and the letter of James.\nThe Legacy of Martin Luther",

        "title": "The Twelve Tribes | A Stroll Down Memory Lane : Remembering Billy Graham",
        "raw_content": "A Stroll Down Memory Lane : Remembering Billy Graham\nAs I walked down Hollywood Boulevard I couldn't help counting the bronze stars embedded in the sidewalk, each with the name of a famous star of the entertainment world. There was Barbra Streisand, Jack Nicholson, Glenn Campbell, Bobby Vinton, Zsa Zsa Gabor... I felt as if I knew them as I walked by their name and their star, remembering them for their great performances in movies and songs and plays. As I passed Rex Harrison's star the songs of My Fair Lady flooded my mind, and then I saw William Shatner's star and I was flying through space in the Starship Enterprise. And then I found myself dancing with Judy Holliday, and then... Billy Graham?! I never dreamed I would see Billy Graham's star! Was he star, too?\nIt startled me. What would a preacher of the gospel have to do with these Hollywood stars? Yet there he was: his name, among the great celebrities whom the world loved and adored.\nBut then I remembered how the Bible said in John 3:16 that \"God loved the world so much,\" so why shouldn't Billy Graham be honored by the world he loved so much, and by the world's famous people who loved him? Billy Graham -- the most famous man of God the world has ever known, honored by presidents, kings, popes, and the celebrities of this world -- preached the gospel of Jesus Christ to all of them; and I heard that he said that was what he wanted to be remembered for: the gospel he preached.\nI remembered, when I was a boy, seeing him on \"This is Your Life\" on the Art Linkletter Show, and I remember the admiration I felt toward him and his family, along with George Beverly Shea and Cliff Barrows. Everyone in the world loved this man of God so much, honoring him with great admiration. Just think how many famous athletes, movie stars, pop singers, and even country singers like Johnny Cash, have been saved by his gospel. It brought back to my mind the words of Christ in Luke 6:26, \"Blessed are you when all men speak well of you, for so did men speak of the prophets of old.\" Surely he was blessed and regarded as a prophet, for the whole world loved this man so much -- presidents, kings, popes, all the religions of the world -- for he was a good and righteous preacher of the Good News. Why else would the world love him so much? After all, didn't Jesus say in John 15:18, \"If the world loves you, know that it loved Me first\"?\nWhy, the Gallup Poll listed Billy Graham among the Ten Most Admired Men in the World for 36 years straight, more than any other individual in the world, placing him at the head of the list of those most admired by Americans for the past four decades! It was no wonder that they called him the Reverend Billy Graham! And in 1967, Belmont Abbey College, a Roman Catholic school, granted him an honorary doctorate, so he could be called Dr. Graham. That seemed appropriate, since I remembered how Jesus had told his disciples in Matthew 23:6-12 how ministers should be honored with titles like \"Rabbi\" or \"Father.\"\nBut Dr. Graham was really a humble man, for even though he was honored by all, he was always taking the opportunity to honor others. I remember how he always honored my favorite football players. He knew that friendship with the world is friendship with God, and whoever wants to be a friend of the world makes himself a friend of God, as it says in James 4:4. He loved the world, and the things of the world, as it says in 1 John 2:15, proving that the love of God was in him. He honored singers and movie stars and politicians, who also must have been blessed, since the whole world spoke well of them. I knew, too, from Luke 16:15 that the things that are highly esteemed among men are also very pleasing to God.\nSo it was fine that Dr. Graham had his star among the actors of Hollywood, even though he wasn't an actor himself. Why, in 2 Corinthians 11:13-15, the apostle Paul told how servants of God like Billy Graham never had to masquerade righteousness, for they were only seeking the glory of the one who sent them, as Jesus said in John 7:18.\nHow he loved the world! \"Like father, like son,\" as the old saying goes. It brought to my mind when Jesus spoke to the religious leaders of his day in John 8:39-44, and how he appreciated the way they did the deeds of their father also, and how he took identity with them. They were of the seed of Abraham and wanted to do the deeds he did. He said such wonderful things about them, and how they only wanted to do the desires of their father.\nBut the most wonderful thing that I remember Billy Graham for is how he preached the very same gospel as did the first evangelists and apostles in Acts 2:38-45 and 4:32-37, and with the very same results. It describes there how 3000 people responded to the gospel by giving up their old lives and all their possessions, and how they lived together and shared all things in common. I clearly remembered how at every Billy Graham Crusade thousands of people responded to the gospel in exactly the same way, giving up all their possessions and sharing all they had with each other. Why, this is the foundation and pattern that was established in Acts 2 & 4, which the Christian Church is built upon.\nIt's so amazing that after 2000 years we see all of Billy Graham's converts living the very same way the first disciples did. Just as Acts 2:44 says, all who believe as in John 3:16, then and now, live together in community. Jesus said you can recognize a good tree by its fruit, and even today we see the very same fruit as in Acts 4:32-37 everywhere Billy Graham's gospel is preached. This proves that the gates of hell have not prevailed against the church, as it says in Matthew 16:18, for it is still thriving upon the same foundation, following the same Judean pattern, just as Paul praised the Thessalonians for in 1 Thessalonians 2:14.\nBilly Graham is also well known for the unity he brings about, just as Jesus prayed for in John 17:20-23. This shows that he must truly be like the apostles in John 17:20-21, for his word causes all of his converts to live in perfect unity, so that they all agree and there are no divisions among them, but they are perfectly united in mind and judgment, just as Paul said in 1 Corinthians 1:10. So of course there are no denominations, and everyone loves one another just as Jesus commanded in John 13:34-35 so that the whole world recognizes them as His true disciples. Surely the fruit of his gospel shows that it must be the only true gospel, and not another gospel, as Paul warned the Corinthians about in 2 Corinthians 11:2-4.\nI know that Billy Graham is obeying the Great Commission in Matthew 28:19-20 because of how I was saved back in 1954 in Chattanooga, Tennessee. He taught me, just as he did all of his converts, to obey the very same commands that Jesus commanded his first disciples. Rev. Graham's message was centered on Luke 14:26-33, where he quoted the very words of Jesus showing what everyone had to do to follow Him and be His disciple to have eternal life, just as the first disciples in Mark 10:28-30. I surely didn't want to hang onto my possessions and walk away sad as the Rich Young Ruler did in Mark 10:17-22.\nThe counselor showed me Mark 10:28-30, where I came to assurance that I would receive two things: 1) persecution (and boy, don't Billy Graham's converts get it!), and 2) eternal life. He also explained to me Mark 14:3-9, where the woman broke the alabaster jar and poured everything out on the Savior, so it became clear to me that I would have to pour out everything I had on His Body, which is the church. I knew I had met the true Savior, just as he described Him as the \"greater king\" in Luke 14:31-33, and I heard what I had to do in order to meet the terms of peace with this Greater King.\nHe was also careful to tell me how Paul said in 2 Timothy 2:3-4 that a good soldier of Christ does not get involved in the things of the world. But then I learned that God gives us all things richly to enjoy, and as long as I didn't love them, then it would be OK, as 1 John 2:15 says. I was assured that I knew Jesus, and that I was not a liar, because I knew His commandments, as it says in 1 John 2:4. My preacher once told me to say over and over again, \"I know that I know that I know that I'm saved,\" and so I believe it, and no one can convince me otherwise, which was the purpose of John's first epistle, as is so clear in 1 John 5:13, in the King James Version.\nI learned to live the way the first disciples lived in Acts 2:44-45 and 4:32-37, so this is how I live my life in my home with my family, by going to church on Sunday. Now I work for IBM, being a good witness on the job, and I give a tenth of my income (or whatever is left after I pay all the bills) to the church, and I try to be good, and read my Bible every day, and I know this must be the witness of the kingdom Jesus was talking about in Matthew 24:14. I'm sure that is what will bring Jesus back to earth again, and bring about His kingdom -- this very same gospel that both Billy Graham and the first apostles preached is that witness. I know my job at IBM is that witness to the world, just as 2 Timothy 2:4 says a good soldier of Christ should be.\nI'm so thankful, as Jesus said in John 17:16, that I'm of the world but not in it, just like all the Christian football players and movie stars as they carry on their occupations for a witness to the world, to show who His disciples are... not.",

        "raw_content": "Local athlete breaks world record, again\nRachelle Meidinger of Arlee holds a world record in weight lifting.\nRachelle Meidinger holds her competiton medal from the World Association of Benchers and Deadlifters.\nRachelle Meidinger competes in Las Vegas for the world title with her trainer and the competition judge watching.\nRachelle Meidinger\nRONAN \u2013 Rachelle Meidinger, 21, broke her own world record by lifting 265 pounds during a bench press lift at the World Bench Press and Deadlifters Championship in Las Vegas on Nov. 22.\n\u201cShe already owned the world record, but she chipped it,\u201d Meidinger\u2019s trainer James Greene said explaining that she added another pound to her previous record.\nShe also broke a world record in the push-pull competition that adds a person\u2019s top bench press with their deadlift weight giving her a total of 618 pounds. She took second in the deadlift competition with a 365-pound lift.\nMeidinger competed with more than 500 lifters from all over the world. Each competitor was placed in a category for body weight, gender and age. Meidinger was placed in the women\u2019s junior division for ages 20-25.\nAt the competition, Greene was tasked with selecting the weight she would lift based on what she did during her training sessions. He put 236 pounds on the first lift, 248 pounds on the second lift and 253 pounds on the third lift. Because she was within a world record, she was given a fourth lift, and Greene put 265 pounds of weight on the metal bar. Meidinger made the mistake of looking at the numbers.\n\u201cI didn\u2019t get nervous until I looked at the numbers,\u201d she said. \u201cIt was kind of scary. I didn\u2019t know if I could do it, and I started to shake.\u201d\nGreene said lifting weights is about training hard and having the correct form, but the biggest thing he said is the mental activity.\n\u201cIt\u2019s a mental game,\u201d he said. \u201cYou have to tell yourself that you can do it.\u201d\nMeidinger was diagnosed as bipolar with other mental illnesses, so wrestling with her mind can be a challenge. She said the thought of not being able to accomplish a goal she wanted so badly was messing with her ability to lift the weight.\n\u201cI didn\u2019t think I was going to break my record,\u201d she said, but she had to try. She positioned her back on the bench, put her hands in place, and took the weight off the rack. She brought it to her chest, and after receiving the press command, she lifted the weight up over her head. The judges watched closely and confirmed that she had broken her own world record.\n\u201cI was glad I was able to do it,\u201d she said adding that having her trainer\u2019s voice in her head telling her not to give up helped push her to a new level.\nShe started breaking records as a high school student in Arlee. She graduated in 2012. She was one of the first female athletes to lift 200 pounds at the school, and she\u2019s been lifting even more weight ever since. She started training with Greene in his gym in Ronan earlier this year to help perfect her form and avoid injuries.\nShe added 21 pounds to her original 244.3 bench lift record from earlier this year in Missoula. She took the record up to 264 in June at another competition in Utah, and now, her record sits at 265 pounds. She isn\u2019t sure how high she can take the record, but she plans to keep training.\nArlee Arlee schools",

Continual progress is made in computer technology, in information networks including improvements in sensing systems for satellites. Satellite imagery can be used for observing marine features such as :\nlarge-scale circulation,\nRiver outflow and water quality.\nThis can be visualized by highlighting variations in water colour and/or temperature.\nThese observations can be used for activities such as : environmental monitoring of sensitive coastal zones, hazards assessment, and management of fishing fleets.\nSmall satellites are enabling developing countries to have access to space technology. AlSat-1 (Algerian Satellite), an enhanced micro satellite is Algeria\u2019s first national satellite. It has been designed and constructed by SSTL (Surrey Space Technology Laboratory) at the Surrey Space Centre (UK). ALSAT-1 is part of an international collaboration of Earth observation satellites specifically designed for disaster monitoring, called Disaster Monitoring Constellation - DMC-.Alsat-1 is equipped with two banks of cameras giving a total of 600km field of view at 32 meters ground sampling distance in three spectral bands : Red, Green and Near Infra-Red. Alsat-1 products were used in different parts of the Algeria 1200 km coastline. The results are very interesting and encouraging. The paper will present an overview of these results.",

This is the first in a series of five nationwide public consultations on the family through which the Minister is seeking the views of a cross section of family members and those people who work with them, about families in Ireland today, their changing needs and what they see as the priorities for strengthening family well-being. The remaining fora will take place later on in the year and their location and the times will be announced in advance.\nAt the conclusion of the series a detailed report will be prepared. This will be an important informant of preparations for the Presidency of the EU in 2004, which coincides with the 10 th anniversary of the United Nations International Year of the Family. The report will also inform the continued development of a more comprehensive and integrated family policy.\nOlivia O'Leary, Broadcaster and Journalist, chaired the Forum today and will also chair the following four fora.\n\"The family is perhaps one of our oldest expressions of human relationship. It has survived through the years, adapting itself to changing socio economic conditions and the progress of humanity. In strengthening families, we need to know what works and what does not - addressing this need for first hand information will help inform public policy on our families,\" said Minister Coughlan.\n\"If we want to strengthen and support families we need to know much more about families. We need to know the problems, the challenges and the reward in having families. We need to know what works and what does not \u2013 addressing this need for first hand information will help inform public policy on our families.

        "raw_content": "You are here: Home / Treatments / Dental Implants\nOne of the most asked questions we get is \u201cWhy do I need to replace my missing tooth?\u201d There are a few reasons why you need to replace missing teeth. The most obvious reason is the fact that you will have a big gap in your smile. Some less obvious reasons are loss of chewing function, shifting of your teeth and inability to eat a complete diet once a tooth is missing. But the most important reason to replace a missing tooth is to avoid loosing bone. Teeth stimulate our jaw bone so that it stays strong and continues to regenerate itself when we chew. If there is no tooth present to stimulate the bone, then the bone melts away in that area compromising the teeth on either side of the open space. This melting away of bone contributes to premature ageing of your facial profile and additional tooth loss in that area due to lack of bone support. Dental Implants go where the root of your tooth used to be and are able to stimulate the bone and keep it strong and healthy. It has been determined that there is 40-60% of bone loss with in the first 3 months of a tooth being extracted if a bone graft is not placed to help preserve the bone height until an implant is ready to be placed.\nOur traditional approach to replacing missing teeth have been crown and bridge, dentures, and partials. All of these options are good for reaching short term goals of cosmetics but none of these options have the ability to prevent bone loss where the tooth is missing and also on the adjacent teeth. Dental Implants stimulate the bone with every bite you take and are able to maintain healthy bones.\nModern dental implants are precision devices available in many different sizes and designs to address your specific needs. It is a titanium screw that is placed where the roots of your missing tooth used be in your jawbone, acting as an anchor for a custom made tooth crown. Once the crown is in place you may not be able to tell the difference between it and your natural teeth.\nHow long should implants last?\nThere is a 97-99% success rate of dental implants over a 10 year period. Some factors that can cause implant failure are things that the patient does at home, including lack of hygiene, and smoking.\nDr. Gottfried has been a member of the ICOI since 2009, after finishing his 216 hour implant continuum at the Triangle Dental Institute in Durham, NC. He has been restoring implants for years, and has enjoyed the challenge and satisfaction with placing his own implants for the past few years. He has a passion to keep current and stay ahead of the curve in implant technology by committing to very in depth continuing education courses.\nDr. Mann has also completed the 216 hour Implant Continuum at the Triangle Dental Institute and is excited about telling her patients about dental implants.\nWe believe that Dental Implants are becoming the standard of care, in most cases, for replacing missing teeth and are happy to be able to provide this wonderful service to our patients.",

        "title": "WIA responds to ACMA's proposed update of the Spectrum Plan",
        "raw_content": "WIA responds to ACMA's proposed update of the Spectrum Plan\nThe Wireless Institute of Australia (WIA) has submitted a comprehensive response to the proposed update of the Australian Radiofrequency Spectrum Plan (ARSP), prepared by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) and released for stakeholder comment in September, with a four-week deadline for submissions.\nFollowing up on previous submissions on amateur licence conditions to the ACMA in 2014 and in April this year, the WIA\u2019s response to the proposed Spectrum Plan update seeks access to new bands at 70 MHz and 920 MHz, in addition to the new global amateur band at 5.3 MHz \u2013 60 metres \u2013 agreed at the World Radiocommunication Conference, WRC-15, last November. In addition, the WIA is seeking primary status for 50-52 MHz and extensions to the 160 metre band and the 80 metre DX Window.\nThe Australian Radiofrequency Spectrum Plan includes a Table of Frequency Allocations from 8.3 kHz to 420 terahertz (THz) that divides-up the spectrum to show the general purpose of each band, to which services the bands are allocated, and associated footnotes relevant to particular allocations. It was last reviewed in 2013.\nIn the submission, the WIA notes \u2013 with evident relief \u2013 that there are few changes that impact the 25 amateur bands spread throughout the Table of Frequency Allocations. However, the Institute highlights the issue that the secondary Amateur allocations, where amateurs share bands with primary users, face pressures of spectrum demand \u2013 and loss of band access \u2013 from telecommunications services and applications for the Internet of Things. This is particularly so for amateur bands across the microwave spectrum.\nAccordingly, the WIA submission advocates that, while the position and expectations of primary users is understood, that the Amateur Service should retain some access in all current bands \u2013 anywhere in the spectrum \u2013 where amateurs presently have secondary status, to uphold the fundamental principles embodied in the definition of the Amateur Service \u2013 of self-training, experimentation and intercommunications for personal aims and without pecuniary interest. This signals the Institute\u2019s long-held position that some band access is retained where spectrum demand whittles away parts of a secondary amateur band.\nThe ACMA introduced two additions to its \u201ccatch-all\u201d clause \u2013 Clause 10 \u2013 that enables it to allocate or permit use of a frequency band for a purpose different from that specified in the Table of Frequency Allocations. Clause 10 had eight sub-clauses in the 2013 Spectrum Plan and the ACMA introduced a ninth regarding satellite Space-to-Earth services, and a 10th sub-clause to allow use of a frequency band by an \u201cunspecified\u201d service by written agreement with an incumbent service, provided that harmful interference is unlikely.\nThe WIA signalled its support for the new Clause 10 (10) as the Institute\u2019s view is that it enables a more dynamic response to changing circumstances in demand for and use of spectrum, \u201c . . particularly in response to changing circumstances and new developments, which in the past has been difficult to accommodate in a timely manner, if at all.\u201d\nA drafting error in the Table of Frequency Allocations affecting the 40 metre amateur band was picked up by the eagle eyes of the WIA\u2019s Spectrum Strategy Committee. The proposed update to the Spectrum Plan lists Broadcasting as a primary service in the Australian allocation of the 7100-7300 kHz band when, in fact, this was removed back in 2009. The WIA has requested that the Table of Frequency Allocations be corrected, along with the related Footnote.\nThe updated Spectrum Plan is expected to begin on 1 January 2017. Once it is amended, affected subordinate legislation, such as licence conditions, will also be amended subsequently. The ACMA has advised previously that, due to various factors, all foreshadowed changes may not occur by the end of 2016.\nThe ACMA will publish on its website stakeholder responses to the proposed updates to the ARSP in due course.\nThe WIA\u2019s submission can be downloaded from the link below.\nResponse to ARSP\nResponse to ARSP Update_WIA.pdf",

        "raw_content": "Aerial Ladder Trucks \u2013 Part 3\nFactory-fresh Truck No. 2A poses for its maiden portrait on the shores of Lake Michigan in Kenosha, Wisconsin a few days before it was driven to Windsor.\nThe 1949 Pirsch aerial as it looked late in its career as a spare aerial stored at Station 3.\nTruck No. 2A in action at the Kohen Box Company fire on University Avenue W. on March 11, 1967.\nFaded and stripped of equipment, the old Pirsch ended its days as a billboard for Phoenix Fire Apparatus in Drummondville, Quebec.\n\u201cTHE PIRSCH\u201d\nThe Second World War was finally over, and Windsor was again basking in peacetime prosperity. Because it had been an important centre for war production, with several major auto plants and other vital defense industries, Windsor had expanded considerably during the war years. And so had the city\u2019s need for improved fire protection.\nOn October 28, 1945, Fire Chief Clarence DeFields signed a purchase order for a new aerial ladder truck \u2013 the city\u2019s first in a decade. Ordinarily, this order would have been placed with one of Canada\u2019s two major fire apparatus manufacturers \u2013 LaFrance Fire Engine & Foamite Ltd. of Toronto, or Bickle-Seagrave Ltd. in Woodstock. But for reasons lost to history, the City of Windsor ordered its first modern 100-foot, hydraulically-operated metal aerial ladder truck from an American firm \u2013 the Peter Pirsch & Sons Co. of Kenosha, Wisconsin.\nBecause of a huge backlog of orders faced by all U.S. and Canadian fire apparatus manufacturers in the years immediately following the war, four years would pass before Windsor\u2019s Pirsch aerial truck was completed and ready for delivery. In early April of 1949, the factory-fresh truck was photographed on the western shore of Lake Michigan a few blocks from the Pirsch factory a few days before the long delivery trip to Canada.\nThe 1949 Pirsch Model 41 Senior 100\u2019 Tractor-Drawn Aerial Ladder Truck arrived in Windsor on April 7. Contract price was $22,000 but an additional $5,217 in customs duties and exchange boosted the delivered price to a whopping (for the time) $26,778. Following four days of extensive training, Truck No. 2A was placed in service at the Windsor Fire Department\u2019s Headquarters Station at 254 Pitt St. E. on April 11. The 1936 American-LaFrance 85-foot spring-raised wood aerial the Pirsch displaced was transferred to Station No. 2 at Richmond St. and Walker Rd.\nPowered by a Waukesha six-cylinder engine, the imposing Pirsch aerial had a three-man closed cab \u2013 and a windshield (with wipers) for the tillerman who sat in a bucket seat at the extreme rear of the long ladder truck. But the new truck\u2019s most distinctive feature was its three-section, close-latticed 100-foot aluminum alloy aerial ladder \u2013 a Peter Pirsch & Sons hallmark.\nThe only one of its type ever delivered in Canada, the big Pirsch ran out of the Pitt Street station for 18 years before it was replaced by a new aerial truck in 1967.Nicknamed \u201cThe Big Stick\u201d, the 1949 Pirsch responded with Engine No. 5 and Salvage No. 1 to all alarms in the downtown core area, including frequent runs to Hotel Dieu and Grace Hospitals. Between 1952 and 1964, two aerial trucks actually ran out of Station 1. The \u201cJunior Aerial\u201d (No. 3A) was a 75\u2019 Bickle-Seagrave service aerial that answered all alarms outside the downtown area.\nThe big Pirsch fought many memorable downtown blazes, including an all-day fire that gutted the Baum & Brody furniture store on Chatham St. W. in August of 1957. Truck No. 2A also responded to the Metropolitan Store explosion that took ten lives and injured more than 100 on October 25, 1960. On a lighter note, the big tractor-trailer Pirsch aerial truck always rolled at the head of Windsor\u2019s Labor Day parade with firefighter Tommy Dyson dressed as Popeye The Sailor waving to the crowds from his lofty perch in the tillerman\u2019s seat.\nWhen a new LaFrance/International 100\u2019 service aerial was placed in service at the Pitt Street hall in November, 1967, the Pirsch was reassigned to Station 2 on Walker Road. In later years Truck No. 2A also saw service at the new Station 6 on Tecumseh Rd. E. and Station 3 on Edinburgh St. When Windsor\u2019s first aerial platform was placed in service in 1971, the Pirsch became a spare ladder truck. Its aging ladder no longer safe to climb, Truck 2A was used for training before it was finally retired from service in 1978.\nAfter nearly three decades in Windsor, the Pirsch aerial ladder truck was sold to Pierreville Fire Trucks and in early 1979 was driven to the company\u2019s plant in Quebec. Still lettered \u201cW.F.D.\u201d, the truck was used briefly at the Quebec firefighters training school. Stripped of its ground ladders and faded to a dull pink, the Pirsch ignobly ended its days as a stationary billboard in front of the Phoenix Fire Apparatus Co. plant in Drummondville, Que. Sometime in the early 1990s the Pirsch was hauled off to a local junkyard and cut up for scrap.\nThus ended the colorful tillered ladder truck era in Windsor. All subsequent aerial trucks purchased were of the straight-frame service aerial type. The fondly-remembered Pirsch was truly one-of-a-kind.\nAs a footnote, only three Pirsch aerials were delivered to Canadian fire departments \u2013 all of them within a 50-mile radius of Windsor. Chatham purchased a 65\u2019 Pirsch aerial on International cab-forward chassis in 1941, and in 1948 the Sarnia Fire Department got a 75\u2019 Pirsch service aerial with open semi-cab. Both the Chatham and Sarnia Pirsches are still on the road today, occasionally participating in parades and antique fire apparatus musters.\nWindsor\u2019s Rescue Squads Part 1 7 Apr, 2007",

Inspector Heinrich Runge suspects Tenma of the murders, but can find no evidence to prove his suspicions.\nNine years later, Johan, now a young man, has embarked on a killing spree. Openly blamed for the murders, Tenma goes on the run in search of Johan. Determined to bring an end to the killing, Tenma is torn between the terrible thing he believes he must do and his natural instincts as a healer.\nGreat characters, chilling suspense, and shocking violence are all hallmarks of this series, which originally ran from 1994 to 2001 in Japan's Big Comic Original.

They were the revolutionaries of the 70s.\"\nNow that's a WTF moment!\nSince somebody always asks this whenever I mention my greatest comic-book creation, here's a quick answer:\nI would happily write new Black Lightning stories for the rest of my life. At the present time, that can only happen if DC Comics also wants me to write them and, judging from recent history, the company's editors and publishers don't want this.\nIf you want to see new Black Lightning stories by me, if you want to see my previous Black Lightning stories reprinted, telling me won't achieve this. You have to tell DC Comics representatives. Often. Loudly. Preferably at public gatherings like conventions and convention panels or when taking incriminating photographs of them doing unseemly things.\nBecause if it were up to me, I would have never stopped writing new Black Lightning stories.\nFor many years, I was a member of CAPA-Alpha, first and best of the comics amateur press associations. The apa continues to thrive. Recently, two of my apa buddies who are still members published a swell zine called Giant Dell Giant Index [$10], their attempt to get all 204 of the Dell Giant covers in print in one place.\nWhen Gary Brown sent me a copy of this zine he had published with Alan Hutchinson, I was instantly transported into a world of great comics covers from my childhood. I must have spent two solid hours looking at, nay, studying those covers. More than once, I'd gaze at one of them and say to myself, \"You know, I'd really like to create a comic book like that one,\" and then add another item to my bucket list of things I'd like to write.\nGary and Alan are willing to print additional copies of this zine if they receive enough requests. To make your request, e-mail Gary at:\ngaryfbrown@bellsouth.net\nTell him Tony sent you.\nI had a dream the other night, a flashback to one of the most embarrassing moments of my childhood, even though I myself did not embarrass myself. It was when the Cub Scouts pack of which I was a member got to see a live taping of the local version of the Bozo the Clown show.\nI didn't watch the program, but I knew who Bozo was. As best I can recall, this local version would do some sort of not really a monologue to welcome his studio guests, show them some cartoons, and have them compete for prizes.\nOn this Saturday afternoon, we were all given balloons. The first five or so scouts who blew their balloons up so big that they popped would get prizes. I don't think they were very good prizes because I remember I didn't care whether I won or not.\nSo, there we were, the good Catholic Cub Scouts of Sts. Philip and James Church and School, blowing up balloons. And some of the scouts were...cheating.\nThey were blowing up the balloons and squeezing them between their knees to pop them. The culprits were the usual young bullies and budding douche bags. The guys we all knew dishonored our Scout Code and many other codes of decency on a daily basis. I am sure they didn't care about the prizes any more than I did. They just liked being jerks.\nThat was nothing new. That I was used to. What I wasn't at all used to was being part of a group being verbally disciplined by a disappointed, exasperated clown. It was as if we had taken a pin to Bozo's big shoes and deflated them. I felt bad for the clown, and embarrassed for my fellow scouts.\nThe bullies went on to become Boy Scouts, continued acting in their usual boorish behaviors, and never, as near as I could tell, suffered any consequences whatsoever. They collected their merit badges, usually cheating on them, and probably grew up to be adult lowlifes. I like to think they are now all unemployed, married to ugly, unpleasant wives, and just counting down the days until their hearts or livers explode.\nI graduated from the Cub Scouts to the Boy Scouts and stayed two months. Because I thought, as young men, these kids would have outgrown being jerks. But they didn't. Nor did the adult men who were our alleged role models take them to task for their continued bad behavior.\n\"Authority\" had disappointed young Tony Isabella. It wasn't the first time, it would be galactically far from the last time, but that sick feeling has stayed with me ever since.\nDamn. I didn't mean to end today's TOT on such a sour note. Let's all go surf the web for cute photos of puppies and kittens. I'll be back tomorrow with more cheerful material.",

It has not contained today's Raging Chronic Disease Epidemics. 3.5MM Americans are dying every year of Chronic Diseases. 50% of U.S. Population is Pre-Diabetic or Diabetic, up from 25% seven years ago. 60% are Obese.\nHealthcare is failing. It has not contained today's Raging Chronic Disease Epidemics. 3.5MM Americans are dying every year of Chronic Diseases. 50% of U.S. Population is Pre-Diabetic or Diabetic, up from 25% seven years ago. 60% are Obese. Terry Kent is the Author of The Health Manifesto, How to Prevent, Reverse and Beat Chronic Diseases. In his New Book, he invites Readers to walk with him through his ongoing seven year Journey of Researching and Uncovering Critical, Hidden Information about Health and Disease the American Public should have been told years ago. He is giving away for Free his Remaining Copies of the Reviewers Edition of his Book, until they're gone. He already paid for them. Order it here free : https://terry-kent.mykajabi.com/pl/32381.\nThe Author is a Life-Time Health Investigator and Advocate, having earned a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology, from Willamette University, and a Masters in Theology from Boston University, and was Pre-Med until he decided that devoting another ten years to Post-Graduate Studies was not his True Calling. What motivated him to make the Major Commitment to begin this Research seven years ago was watching Eating, and Healing Cancer from Inside Out, Two Video Documentaries that questioned many Popular Beliefs about Healthcare, and thoroughly Documented Each Thesis.\nThe Documentaries asserted that: 1. Eating is the Biggest Cause of Disease, Disabilities, and Death in the U.S., 2. What the Medical Community considers a Healthy Diet is Dangerous, and is killing us, 3. Traditional Medicine doesn't heal Diseases, but only modifies their Symptoms, and 4. We already have a Cure for Chronic Diseases, our Immune System.\nThe Author fills his 235-Page Book with his Discoveries from his seven years of Reading and Watching thousands of Books, TED Talks, Research Abstracts, and Interviewing Extensive Reliable Sources, including many Startling Facts that he reveals in Chapters 4, 5, & 6 that can hopefully transform our Healthcare Paradigm over time. Several Medical Doctors, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, a Career Surgeon at the World-Renowned Cleveland Heart Clinic, pioneered a Natural Terminal Heart Disease Cure and Neurologist Dr. Roy Swank, pioneered a Natural Cure for multiple Sclerosis, one of the most Devastating Autoimmune Diseases.\nThey asked their Patients to adopt Plant-Based Diets, and over 3-5 months their own Immune Systems reversed their Diseased Conditions completely, and their Bodies recovered to Normal Robust health. President Clinton is one of the Patients whose Heart Disease was totally reversed and cured. Dr. Swank followed 3500 of his Cured Multiple Sclerosis Patients for up to 35 years, and they are living long, Healthy Lives. Both Doctor's Patients, who chose not to follow the Prescribed Regimen, all died within several years.\nThe Author also uncovered one of the biggest Stealth Takeovers in American History that happened over 100 years ago. John D. Rockefeller's Own Medical Administration Executives carried out a Bloodless Coup taking over all U.S. Medical Schools, closed the Naturopathic Schools, and instituted Allopathic Medicine \u2013 focusing exclusively on the Sale of Prescription Drugs for Massive Profits. Unknowingly, American Doctors have been the Front Line of Allopathic Drug Marketing Medicine since 1915. American Healthcare was once committed to ending Chronic Diseases. Where is it now? Chapter 9 details how it all happened.\nThe Author will also Personally host 4 LIVE Online Webinars where he summarizes the Book at 6 pm Pacific Time (9 Eastern), beginning on Sunday, July 15, and also on the following Three Evenings.

And even though I'm not counting on this next one to be much better, it's still newsworthy. I mean, the godfather of the zombie film is making another movie. It can't be any worse than Diary... could it?\nI just think that he should just stop making these zombie films. I mean, like I've said before, \"Dawn of the Dead\" was his only REALLY GOOD zombie film and that was like 31 years ago. I haven't seen \"Diary of the Dead\" yet but it didn't look too appealing in my eyes. \"Land of the Dead\" was okay. I could watch that once in a GREAT while. \"Day of the Dead\" was okay but \"Dawn\" was the best in the series. Like I said, George should just stop. How many stories can you really make using zombies that haven't been done before?\nYouTube has removed the video.",

        "raw_content": "Curiouser and curiouser (politics makes strange bedfellows): even the commies think rape victims are sluts. And come on! - the head of the IMF may have raped one of your employees in your hotel. Of course you phone the head office! There is no need to start to see proof of a Sarko conspiracy.\nNote how sneakily this is written (my emphasis in red; I thought Martin was a straight shooter but there goes his reputation, and all for the head of the IMF!):\n\"The most extraordinary evidence brought forward in the Epstein article concerns the actions of Brian Yearwood, the hotel engineer, and an unidentified man, apparently a security agent of some kind, who are seen on the videotape accompanying Nafissatou Diallo to the security office where she reported the attack. About an hour afterwards, the security office placed a 911 call to the police\u2014a delay which Epstein notes as peculiar and unexplained.\nTwo minutes after the 911 call is placed, bringing the police into the case officially and ensuring the public vilification and humiliation of Strauss-Kahn, Yearwood and the unidentified man appear on a security videotape giving each other high-fives and performing what lawyers for Strauss-Kahn described as a victory dance. What were they celebrating?\"\nActually, if you think it through, the hotel delayed phoning in order to protect their important customer, and almost gave him the chance to flee the jurisdiction. Then they turned right around and, with a lie about the missing phone, tricked DSK into being caught. There are competing forces at work.\n\"The Strange Argument That Dominique Strauss-Kahn Was Set Up\":\n\"Epstein makes much of the disappearance of DSK\u2019s IMF BlackBerry. A \u201cresearcher\u201d at the rival party who somehow has reliable access to such information has told DSK by text (to which Epstein inexplicably has access too) \u201cthat at least one private email he had recently sent from his BlackBerry to his wife, Anne Sinclair, had been read at the UMP offices in Paris. It is unclear how the UMP offices might have received this email, but if it had come from his IMF BlackBerry, he had reason to suspect he might be under electronic surveillance in New York.\u201d Except that there was no need to have DSK surveilled in New York in order to access his email \u2014 an enterprising hacker could have hacked into the server without any access to the physical device.\"\nThis is an iffy paragraph - hacking into Blackberry's servers would be a major task, if not impossible (that's one reason why Blackberries are still used by security-conscious corporations in this age of Apple) - but the point about Epstein's info having to come from DSK himself is valid.\nThere are quite possibly competing conspiracies here, a set-up conspiracy and a counter conspiracy of which Epstein's article, and the mishandling of the charges by the New York prosecutor's office (Cyrus R. Vance, Jr.), are parts. We're watching the tectonic plates of super-power grind against each other. Even the commies are in on it!\n\"Strauss-Kahn and the Dancing Men\" Pretty good response to Epstein. Epstein mixes the phone hack story - quite possible - with the dancing men story - improbable, and denied - to create a larger conspiracy (and Epstein's creation of conspiracies goes back to his writings on the JFK assassination, and does not reflect well on Epstein). I still see absolutely no reason to doubt the story of the victim. As I have already said, there may very well be a conspiracy, with the maid sent up unknowingly to meet a DSK who the conspirators knew was such an animal he would attack her. In other words, even if he was framed (in a way), the frame-up still leaves him as some kind of monster (backed up by other stories of a lifetime of monstrous behavior that are still coming out).\nThe comment by 'ProfRoss' is probably correct:\n\"We have a different view of this overseas. DSK's philandering was legendary within certain exclusive circles, and completely unknown to the general public. Yes, there was a conspiracy at work here, but not of the usual sort. There was a decision made here to reveal the truth, as opposed to conceal it. The French let the NYPD do their dirty work. DSK simply wasn't protected; there was no cover up.\"\nIf there was a conspiracy, who did it? Lots of suspects. Sarko? The other possible candidates for the French 'left'? Somebody with money in the game in Europe who didn't like the direction the IMF was taking?\n\"When the Coffers Run Dry\" Jewish threats to - completely illegally, but what else is new with Israel? - withhold Palestinian tax revenues until the slaves of the Jews do what the Jews want are always just threats, as the collapse of the Palestinian Authority collaborators would mean that the Jews would have to fulfil their obligations under international law to look after the subjects of their illegal occupation, plus 'police' them in their vicious violent supremacist way, all of which would provide terrible problems for the Jews. The Palestinians can always call that bluff.\n\"NBC and the Israel lobby\" Of course, it is the finest distilled essence of 'anti-Semitism' to even think about suggesting that the Jews control the mass media for their own - violent racist supremacist - ends. Yet they do.\n\"The new gilded age\" The craziest ideas have to be introduced gradually, and suddenly one day they become established 'common sense'\n\"Open Letter to Chancellor Linda P.B. Katehi\" It is too bad psychopaths are impossible to shame.\n\"Guardians of the City: An interview with Neturei Karta\u2019s Rabbi Meir Hirsh\" For those who think that the 'Good Jew' is a myth.\nLots from Weiss today: \"\u2018It\u2019s time to stop the bully\u2019: Adbusters editor Kalle Lasn on Occupy Wall Street, the Israel lobby and the New York Times\" On dealing with the muck of being slurred by vicious violent group supremacists who control the mainstream media dialogue. I don't think the Jews realize how much hatred - real hatred, not the phony kind denoted by 'anti-Semitic' - this constant bullying for vicious violent group supremacist ends is creating in moral and decent people. The entire interview is good, the kind of questions and answers you never see, due to control by, and fear of, the you-know-whos and their shabbos goy enablers, but here is the concluding answer by Lasn:\n\"When I see Israel acting so arrogant and so tough\u2014here\u2019s one of the most powerful military forces in the world, they have nukes\u2014and when I see them cordoning off Gaza the way they do and when they attack Gaza the way they did, it just fills me with rage because this is a powerful bully that is basically turning Gaza into kind of a turkey shoot. I really see it in this kind of very visceral way, like how could they possibly get away with doing this?

The weirdness:\n\"By the time Sheehan was called by the hotel at 1:03 PM, Diallo was seated on a bench in the hotel\u2019s ground floor service area, just off the service entrance on 45th Street. Behind her was a \u201cDutch door,\u201d with the upper half opened, that led to the hotel\u2019s security office. Surveillance camera footage shows her entering the area with a tall unidentified man at 12:52 PM. She mains there until 2:05 PM. At 12:56, she is joined there by Brian Yearwood, the large, heavy-set man who is the hotel\u2019s chief engineer. Yearwood had just come down from the presidential suite on the twenty-eighth floor, which he had entered at 12:51, according to the key records. Yearwood remained close to Diallo as she spoke to Adrian Branch, the security chief for the hotel, who remained behind the half-shut door of the security office. She can be seen gesturing with her hands for about four minutes, pointing to different parts of her body over and over again, suggesting she was telling and retelling her story.\nAt 1:28, Sheehan, still on the way to the hotel, sent a text message to Yearwood. And then another text message to an unidentified recipient at 1:30. At 1:31\u2014one hour after Diallo had first told a supervisor that she had been assaulted by the client in the presidential suite\u2014Adrian Branch placed a 911 call to the police. Less than two minutes later, the footage from the two surveillance cameras shows Yearwood and an unidentified man walking from the security office to an adjacent area. This is the same unidentified man who had accompanied Diallo to the security office at 12:52 PM. There, the two men high-five each other, clap their hands, and do what looks like an extraordinary dance of celebration that lasts for three minutes.\"\nThree minutes?

But after being evicted from Zuccotti Park and scattered around the city, Kobi Skolnick, a 30-year-old Israeli-American and one of the main organizers of the two-month trip \u2014 for which the protest movement had funded with $29,000 \u2014 says that they just didn't have time to get a plan together.\"\nHint: there is no such thing as an Israeli-American (btw, how did the 'Israeli-American' issue even come up?).

If they did nothing, ignored the protests and ordered their controlled media to censor information on the protests, they might buy themselves some time, but they cannot accept the tiniest criticism of their class position, and thus do exactly what would be required to make the protests grow quickly. Of course, just like in, say, Egypt, the elites know they aren't prepared to throw the tiniest bone to the 99%, so there is nothing they can do to pretend to care (in fact, the plan is to divert even more money to the 1% from the 99%). It helps that the police - not to mention the mayors, university presidents, and the like - always turn out to be subhuman buffoons, and can always be counted on to behave in a manner most likely to increase general outrage.\nAnd so it always goes. Relatively small protests, massive overreaction - and we haven't even begun to see the inevitable police murders of protesters yet - thus escalating the anger and increasing the number of active protesters, and so on. As long as the anger and the source of the anger persists, the process is inevitable, and the lessons of history, even recent history, are completely lost on the elites and their buffoons.\nGiven how we know things work, can there be any doubt that the repression is orchestrated at the highest levels of government? Why would the elites settle for anything less? The 1% phone the guys at the top (of course!!!). The Department of Homeland Security was set up with one purpose, and one purpose only, to foster Islamophobia in the United States so that Jews could kill people and steal their land in the Middle East. However, once you set up an institution, and give it billions of dollars to do absolutely nothing useful, it needs to find a reason to justify its existence, and beating up 'hippies' fits the bill. Obama-protecting notwithstanding, this is going to become more obvious as time goes on.\n\"Henry Kissinger: Jews Are \u2018Self-Serving Bastards\u2019\" I should immediately note that you can't trust anything said by Henry the K, as his lies tend to reflect what he perceives his audience wants to hear, but one comment, by Gaza Calling, to this typically Jew-centric Gawker posting was interesting (and the reaction of the commentators to someone having the audacity to point out one of the most obvious Jewish tricks to provide more colonialists for Israel so predictable):\n\"The line about \"rescuing Jews stuck behind the Iron Curtain from Soviet oppression\" is simpleton talk. In truth, Jews were among the most highly educated sector of the Soviet population and the whole issue about saving them was one of the biggest scams of the 20th century.\nThe smartest Russians, however, may have been those who stayed behind and through a backroom deal with Yelsin came into possession of all of Russia\u2019s natural resources, making these \"oligarchs\" the greatest collection of thieves, perhaps, in all of history. That they were even more exclusively Jewish than were our neocons was only, of course, a coincidence, such as, for example, the Pope being Catholic.\nIf you want read some fascinating Kissenger talk about the ME from the 70s...read this in full...\n[www.meforum.org]\"\nMore interesting: read the document at the link, a December 1975 memorandum of conversation between U.S. secretary of state Henry the K and Iraqi foreign minister Sa'dun Hammadi. An example of the kind of lying, sprinkled with obvious truths, practiced by American diplomats, but packed full of zingers (my emphasis in red):\n\"Hammadi: We, of course, have different views, and I will tell you why. Iraq is part of the Arab world. We believe the United States has been the major factor in building up Israel to what it is today.\nKissinger: True.\nHammadi: It was created in 1948 and could not have lived up to this day without the United States.\nKissinger: The Soviet Union was active then, too.\nHammadi: True. That is why there were some strained relations with the Soviet Union. Our good relations with the Soviet Union are only more recent. The Communists were not popular with the masses then. But the difference is you believe Israel is there to stay. We believe Israel was established by force and is a clear-cut case of colonialism. Israel was established on part of our homeland. You don't believe that. But that is not the whole story. Israel is now a direct threat to Iraq's national security.\nKissinger: How to Iraq?\nHammadi: Israel has built up to a military power that can threaten Iraq, especially with the recent news that we read of the U.S. supplying sophisticated weapons. So it is not only the Arab world that is threatened, and Iraq being part of the Arab world, but Iraq itself. We think the U.S. is building up Israel to have the upper hand in the area. Even Lebanon\u2014they say it affects Israel's security. A strong, powerful, nuclear Israel with the upper hand in the area. Whatever happens in the Arab world is interpreted as a threat to Israel. Even a change in government in Iraq would be interpreted that way.\nKissinger: My impression is if you change your government in Iraq, they won't object. [Laughter]. I understand your problem.\nHammadi: This is my painting of the picture now\u2014up to 1980. You say the United States is bringing all its weight to bring about a settlement. But this is a settlement, not peace. A new wave of troubles and clashes will start because Israel is not a state to stay within what they are. Because if there is an opportunity, they will expand. The record shows it. And they are supported by the biggest power in the area. What the United States is doing is not to create peace but to create a situation dominated by Israel, which will create a new wave of clashes.\nKissinger: I understand what you are saying. When I say we are willing to improve relations with Iraq, we can live without it. But it is our policy to move toward better relations. I think, when we look at history, that when Israel was created in 1948, I don't think anyone understood it. It originated in American domestic politics. It was far away and little understood. So it was not an American design to get a bastion of imperialism in the area. It was much less complicated. And I would say that until 1973, the Jewish community had enormous influence. It is only in the last two years, as a result of the policy we are pursuing, that it has changed.\nWe don't need Israel for influence in the Arab world. On the contrary, Israel does us more harm than good in the Arab world. You yourself said your objection to us is Israel. Except maybe that we are capitalists. We can't negotiate about the existence of Israel, but we can reduce its size to historical proportions. I don't agree that Israel is a permanent threat. How can a nation of three million be a permanent threat? They have a technical advantage now. But it is inconceivable that peoples with wealth and skill and the tradition of the Arabs won't develop the capacity that is needed. So I think in ten to fifteen years, Israel will be like Lebanon\u2014struggling for existence, with no influence in the Arab world.\nYou mentioned new weapons. But they will not be delivered in the foreseeable future. All we agreed to is to study it, and we agreed to no deliveries out of current stocks. So many of these things won't be produced until 1980, and we have not agreed to deliver them then.\nOur policy is to move our policy towards peace and to improve relations with the Arab world. Iraq is not a negotiator, but I think the policy of Egypt and Syria to improve relations with us helps us to bring pressure for a settlement.\nThe Israelis like you better than [Egyptian president Anwar] Sadat because they like to put it in terms of a U.S.-Soviet problem. We don't want you to have unfriendly relations with the Soviet Union; we don't interfere in your relations with the Soviet Union. But basically, the Israelis prefer radical Arabs.\nIf the issue is the existence of Israel, we can't cooperate. But if the issue is more normal borders, we can cooperate.\nWe have moved toward normalization with others\u2014except Libya. South Yemen, we will move towards.\nHammadi: We are on the other side of the fence. We have the right to ask many questions.\nKissinger: Please.\nHammadi: Given the record, what can make us believe the United States won't continue the policy of the last twenty years of giving unlimited support.\nKissinger: It depends on what you mean by unlimited support. One important change in America \u2026 Sabbagh was with me when I saw Faisal for the first time. I told him it would take a few years; we would have to move slowly. I have told all the Arabs this. It has now reached the point in America where attitudes have changed. When I testify to congressional committees, I face increasingly hostile questions about Israel. No one is in favor of Israel's destruction\u2014I won't mislead you\u2014nor am I.\nBut the support in the 1960s was $200-300 million. Now it is $2-3 billion. That is impossible to sustain. We can't even get it for New York. It is just a matter of time before there is a change\u2014two to three years. After a settlement, Israel will be a small friendly country with no unlimited drawing right. It will be affected by our new electoral law, strangely enough. So the influence of some who financed the elections before isn't so great. This has not been so noticed. It will take a few years before it is fully understood.\nSo I think the balance in America is shifting. If the Arabs\u2014if I can be frank\u2014don't do anything stupid. If there is a crisis tied to the Soviet Union, groups in America could make it an anticommunist crusade.\nHammadi: So you think the U.S. policy after a settlement wouldn't be the same?\nKissinger: We want the survival of Israel but not dominating the area. No one can conquer the Arab world. Even if they take Damascus, Cairo, and Amman, you will be there, and Libya will be there. So if Israel wants to survive as a state like Lebanon\u2014as a small state\u2014we can support them.\nHammadi: What is the Israeli thinking?\nKissinger: First, they want to get rid of me. Because I made them go back. Second, in 1976, they want to provoke the Arabs\u2014in Lebanon, in Syria\u2014because they think if there is war they can win and create great turmoil. Third, they want to pass legislation in America to antagonize as many Arabs as possible. So we get the anti-boycott, anti-discrimination, anti-arms sales legislation. They hope the Arabs will go back to a situation like 1967-1973 when the Syrians and Egyptians adopt an anti-American line. So they can say they are the only American friend in the Middle East. What they want is what you predict\u2014that they be the only friend. We want other friends, to reduce that argument.\nAide: Your Excellency, do you think a settlement would come through the Palestinians in the area? How do you read it? Is it in your power to create such a thing?\nKissinger: Not in 1976. I have to be perfectly frank with you. I think the Palestinian identity has to be recognized in some form. But we need the thoughtful cooperation of the Arabs. It will take a year or a year and a half to do it and will be a tremendous fight. An evolution is already taking place.\nAide: You think it will be part of a solution?\nKissinger: It has to be. No solution is possible without it. But the domestic situation is becoming favorable. More and more questions are being asked in Congress favorable to the Palestinians.\nHammadi: Do you think a Palestinian state is possible?\nKissinger: We don't exclude it as a matter of principle. You can't do it now.\nHammadi: What about Palestinians who are now refugees? The Palestine area is now crowded\u2014Gaza and the West Bank.\nKissinger: They should have a choice, either to stay where they are or go to a Palestinian state.\nHammadi: You think some in, say, the Galilee area might choose to leave Israel and join the new Palestinian state?\nKissinger: In Galilee?\nHammadi: Arab Israelis.\nKissinger: I have told friends that peace isn't a final end. Wars begin elsewhere between countries that are at peace. Only in the Middle East do wars begin between countries that are at war. But we support the existence of Israel. We draw the line at the destruction of Israel.\nAide: The Palestinians already put aside this idea. This is my personal view. Because the Israelis are trying to buy land in the Galilee area, and there is resistance. The Communist Party in the area is using it in the municipal elections. Is this because the Israelis are looking to the creation of a Palestinian state and want to buy this land?\nKissinger: It could be in their minds. I am not familiar with it.\nAide: This is being used by the Communist Party in the area. The Israelis know you Americans are behind the idea of a Palestinian state.\nKissinger: We have to be careful and move gradually. The Israeli press accuses me. I have said we can't move to the Palestinians until they accept the existence of the State of Israel and Security Council Resolution 242. I have never excluded the recognition of the PLO; I have always tied it to recognition of Israel and 242. The implication is we will do something if they do recognize Israel and 242.\nAide: Kaddumi says: \"How can we recognize Israel if they don't recognize the PLO?\"\nKissinger: With all respect, what Israel does is less important than what the United States does.\"\n\"Oakland Mayor Jean Quan Admits Cities Coordinated Crackdown on Occupy Movement\" and a comment by 'ahmedia':\n\"Mubarak playbook\u2026 Night raid, media blackout\u2026 and coordinating assault \u2026\"\n\"Did Feds Coordinate Occupy Wall Street Crackdowns?\"\n\"Update: 'Occupy' crackdowns coordinated with federal law enforcement officials\":\n\"Over the past ten days, more than a dozen cities have moved to evict \"Occupy\" protesters from city parks and other public spaces.

And according to one Justice official, each of those actions was coordinated with help from Homeland Security, the FBI and other federal police agencies.\nAccording to this official, in several recent conference calls and briefings, local police agencies were advised to seek a legal reason to evict residents of tent cities, focusing on zoning laws and existing curfew rules. Agencies were also advised to demonstrate a massive show of police force, including large numbers in riot gear. In particular, the FBI reportedly advised on press relations, with one presentation suggesting that any moves to evict protesters be coordinated for a time when the press was the least likely to be present.\"\n\"Mayors, police chiefs talk strategy on protests\" (I think this is the sanitized Official Story provided as a public service by the AP)\nThere is push-back from the 'left' on this, based on the fear it is a right-wing attack against Obama (who left the country just before the multitude of simultaneous raids, no doubt a big coincidence).\n\"Big Finance Moves In\" by Mike Whitney:\n\"Greek Prime Minister Georgios Papandreou and Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi have both been forced from office and replaced by representatives of big finance.

Original bondholders of the old banks off-loaded the Icelandic bank bonds in the market for pennies on the dollar. The buyers were vulture funds. These bondholders became the owners of the old banks, as all shareholders were wiped out. In October, the government\u2019s monetary authority appointed new boards to control the banks. Three new banks were set up, and all the deposits, mortgages and other bank loans were transferred to these new, healthier banks \u2013 at a steep discount. These new banks received 80 percent of the assets, the old banks 20 percent.\nThen, owners of the old banks were given control over two of the new banks (87% and 95% respectively). The owners of these new banks were called vultures not only because of the steep discount at which the financial assets and claims of the old banks were transferred, but mainly because they already had bought control of the old banks at pennies on the dollar.\nThe result is that instead of the government keeping the banks and simply wiping them out in bankruptcy, the government kept aside and let vulture investors reap a giant windfall \u2013 that now threatens to plunge Iceland\u2019s economy into chronic financial austerity. In retrospect, none of this was necessary. The question is, what can the government do to clean up the mess that it has created by so gullibly taking bad IMF advice?\"\nFunny that we're in the middle of a big propaganda blitz that Iceland did the right thing and is a model for us all, while it looks like a slightly more sophisticated defalcation.\n\"You Are The 98%\" (found via here, with much better comments).

The press dubbed the murders the \"doner killings\" because the victims were all small businessmen and included two kebab shop owners, a grocer, a tailor, a flower seller and a key cutter. The only link that police found between the murders was the weapon used -- a Czech-made Ceska 83 pistol with a 7.65 millimeter caliber. Now investigators suspect the killings may be connected to an ongoing case involving a trio of fugitive neo-Nazis in eastern Germany. Two of them, identified only as Uwe M. and Uwe B., robbed a bank in Eisenach a few days ago and then shot each other in a trailer. There, investigators later found a police-issue pistol that linked them to the murder of policewoman Michele Kiesewetter in 2007 in Heilbronn in eastern Germany.\nTheir roommate and accomplice, Beate Z., is now in jail after handing herself in to police earlier this week. She is accused of blowing up the house where they lived in Zwickau. The trio was known to police in Thuringia because of their suspected bomb-making activities in the 1990s and connections to a far-right group known as the Th\u00fcringer Heimschutz.\"\n\"Why the Washington Post won\u2019t fire Jennifer Rubin\" While I admire the effort, i don't think Greenwald ever answers his own question.\n\"Have you been able to successfully update to Firefox 8?\":\n\"I love Firefox.

Of course, the reality is that Americans are the most selfish group of bastards in the world, and wouldn't be in any international organization if it didn't advance the interests of American big business.\nPalestinian initiative and American Jewslavery have combined to force the Americans to follow the Palestinians around, removing themselves from every international organization which the Palestinians manage to join. This will mean that American big business will lose all the protections that these organizations provide. In a world where Americans have stopped making things, and rely for their prosperity on shuffling paper around and exploiting intellectual property rights. the lack of the protections provided by the international community is going to get very interesting.\n\"Palestine Can Now Join the International Criminal Court\" The solid vote it got at UNESCO is evidence of international acceptance of Palestine as a state. Note the comment (scroll down) by Chris2 (my emphasis in red):\n\"Israel depends, for its existence, on the apathy of the American public, which as a backdrop, highlights the fanatical commitment of a lobby which is well financed but very short of constituents.\nAIPAC is only powerful because most American voters care so little about foreign policy that they lap up the most extraordinary nonsense about Israel and Cuba (as another example.)\nBut all this is changing now. The Depression is biting very deeply in the States, quite apart from the fifty million families reduced to food stamps and an equal number without any medical insurance,, the latest Congressional figures show that half of the population lives in poverty or very close to it.\nIn short people are beginning to ask what happened to the nation\u2019s legendary wealth. And a very obvious part of the answer is that hundreds of billions have been spent pursuing the discredited policies of the Jabotinsky zionists.\nIsrael is the keystone of the US \u201d security architecture\u201d in western eurasia. The preservation of this colony, by increasingly complex and costly manouevres, by dividing its enemies, breaking up their states, betting heavily on three legged outsiders like the Saud family or the kleptocrat emirs in the Gulf, utterly discredited, worn out tyrants such as Jordan\u2019s Hashemites and the latest sysyphusean labour, in the shape of replacing Mubarak with another Mubarak, has become the central obsessive work of the United States. All the power of the Pentagon, all the resources of the State Department are devoted, primarily, to strengthening Israel\u2019s position.\nBut the task is quite impossible: Israel spends all its energies (most of them derived from US taxpayers\u2019 subsidies) to weakening its position. Ir refuses to contemplate the chance of making Peace while everything is in its favour. Instead of cashing in on its victories it pirouettes on a precipice and warns the world that it is endangered.\nAnd everything it does costs the Poor Bloody Punter in Peoria more money (an Iron Dome!) and the lives of more kids from the Appalachians, more R and D for Boeing and Lockheed and more billion dollart a year bases. Mr Karimov is just another element in the edifice of which Israel is the keystone. The prospect of war and peace in the Indian sub-continent is intimately linked with Pakistani alliances in the Gulf and Brahmin empathies with Zionists. Washington is a city obsessed with Israel.\nAnd Israel is but a tiny colony, a pumped up Southern Rhodesia, an Algerie with a dwarf root system. In the current burgeoning crisis in the United States the fact that the government has earmarked about a trillion and a half dollars (and equivalently outlandish sums) annually for decades, simply to preserve Israel\u2019s right to insult and humiliate all comers is going to require justification a little more profound than those currently on offer: 1/ That Europe\u2019s Jews are the descendants of Palestinians exiled more than a millenium ago; 2/ That God wants the Jews to rally in the Holy Land so that they can be liquidated to prepare the way for the return of the Messiah.\nThe story of the period of US superpowerdom is its weakness for fascism. It was that which lay behind the Cold War, the refusal to come to terms not only with a Soviet Union exhausted and eager to treat, but with the anti-fascist forces from Italy\u2019s communists to Ho Chi Minh, Mao and North Korea, which gave rise to the Cold War, which ended with the boot being put in (to the cheers of Croatians fascists and their German friends) to the last Partisan legacy, Tito\u2019s Yugoslav Federation. Throughout the Cold War the US nursed the poisonous remnants of the Nazi axis, protecting Franco and Salazar from their angry populations, cossetting ex-SS groups in every city in north and south America, employing fascists to hunt down communists\u2026it is an old story. And the Jabotinsky zionists are the one fascist party which can claim uninterrupted continuity from the 1930s. The one fascist party that is, besides the original wellspring of fascism which is from the Southern States, the old alliance between vicious business interests and KKK racism, whose current form is the Republican Party, which was the segregationist Democracy of the Solid South and the New South. The principle of extreme inequality and forced labour which is the spectre haunting the modern world.\nAmericans who cannot feed their kids, whose kids schools are broken down, unstaffed and unequipped, who are paying the world\u2019s highest prices for pharmaceuticals, are losing their homes and are unable to find jobs, where BMW workers are earning $12 an hour (and are envied) are beginning to wonder why.\nIt is in these circumstances that Palestine\u2019s calls for peace and a just settlement will in future be examined, whether the Zionists like it or not.\"\nOccupy Wall Street isn't anti-Semitic, but it is definitely not 'good for the Jews'.\n\"Palestinians aim to join 16 other UN agencies\":\n\"It's not just UNESCO: The Palestinians' top envoy in Geneva said Tuesday he believes that joining the U.N. agency for culture, education and science will \"open the door\" to joining 16 other U.N. agencies within weeks.\nIbrahim Khraishi, the top Palestinian envoy at the U.N. in Geneva, told The Associated Press that Palestinian diplomats are now planning to capitalize on Monday's landslide vote to allow the Palestinians into UNESCO by preparing papers to join the other U.N. agencies and a variety of other international organizations.\"\n\"How\u2019s that for turnaround time? \u2014 US cuts off funding for UNESCO\" People criticize my intemperate and tendentious language, but when I say Jewslave, I mean Jewslave. It is simply not possible to deny it. Watch the video! To add to the surrealism of Jewslavery, Victoria Nuland, a Jew (naturally; a gentile might go squishy under the questioning - note how Nuland was brought back from the Bush Administration just to deal with these sticky and embarrassing situations!), is married to ultra-neocon Robert Kagan, co-founder with William Kristol of the . . . Project for the New American Century! You really can't make this stuff up!\n\"Palestine Granted Full UNESCO Membership Despite US Threats\":\n\"Three hours later the US announced that it was cutting UNESCO funds to punish members for voting to grant full membership to the Palestinians. A US state department spokeswoman said a payment of some $60m (\u00a337m) due next month would not be made, but said that while continued US funding was impossible, \"the administration wanted to remain an active member of UNESCO\". Anyone like to give a reason why they should? Perhaps all those nations whose stolen cultural property is sold there because they have no \"1970 Convention article 9 MOU\" might like to take a vote on whether the US has been as active as they could have been and whether it should stay if it's not going to pay. According to UNESCO's constitution, if a country is in arrears in its payments to UNESCO for more than two years, it could lose its voting rights in the body.\"",

Since then the program has been spreading its roots into the hearts of the local Russian-speaking community. This population has long expressed their desire to come together to preserve the cherished, but not forgotten cultural values and ethics that they\u2019ve brought all the way from across the ocean.\nSolnechniy Krug \u2018s first offering, Little Avant\u2013Gardes, is a six week exploration of art, poetry, and music taught in Russian. In these first classes we\u2019ve already seen how the beauty of art in its many shapes and forms, can touch the hearts of children as young as 18 months and spark the curiosity of older kids who are able to create their own avant-garde masterpieces! The works of both Russian-Jewish and Russian poets and composers have not yet left anyone without a smile.\nWe are very enthusiastic and excited to see how Solnechniy Krug will evolve over time, but more important, we can\u2019t wait to see the impact it will have on such an amazing community. They\u2019ve been so brave by willing to take a risk and join us on this wonderful adventure. By coming together, all of our lives will be enriched, from the youngest participants up through the program\u2019s organizers and teachers.\nYou can learn more about Solnechniy Krug on our website. If you are interested in learning more about the program or if you have any questions, please don\u2019t hesitate to reach out to Olga Inglis (), Solnechniy Krug's Program Coordinator and Teacher.\nWe are incredibly thankful for the generous support of Genesis Philanthropy Group and the guidance from the Jewish Education Project, without which this project wouldn\u2019t be possible.",

        "raw_content": "Lots of my friends like Cormac McCarthy. I have tried to read his novels, but I find them portentous and woolly-minded, (the two things often go hand in hand). If I needed confirmation that McCarthy is not all he is cracked up to be when it comes to writing, then this piece, which reports that McCarthy despises almost all punctuation, provides me with just that thing.\nI think what I find most shocking in the article is the fact that McCarthy is so arrogant that he boasts about removing punctuation and:\n'paring down an essay \u201cby Swift or something\u201d'\nwhen nothing written by McCarthy is going to last a tenth of the time that Swift's work has already - and it, unlike McCarthy's work, will, I'm sure, endure, (ideally without his tinkering).\nPeople who proudly say they don't use punctuation, clearly don't understand what punctuation is for. Punctuation is not a decorative optional extra, it's not some kind of doily; punctuation improves clarity, and writing without clarity is not worth doing.\nIt may have been the woman who copy edits at the New Yorker who pointed out that commas are stepping stones that guide the reader through the river of a sentence. Whoever it was, she is absolutely right. Ambiguity is always ready to drown meaning, especially in English, which is a language that seems to lend itself particularly to ambiguity. Take the sentence that begins the paragraph before this one: if I'd written 'People who proudly say they don't use punctuation clearly don't understand what it is for', it would have been ambiguous or even downright misleading. I actually don't much like the comma I have put there - my inclination would be to expand the whole sentence and say 'Those people who proudly say they don't use punctuation only say so because they clearly don't understand what it is for', but in the end I decided that that would be unnecessarily long and that placing a comma before 'clearly', even though it is a bit inelegant somehow, does indicate that the people I'm referring to are declaring their pride in not using punctuation, rather than their pride in using punctuation in an unclear manner.\nSimilarly, in the following two sentences, the absence of one of those things that McCarthy regards as a 'weird little mark' in the first leaves the meaning ambiguous, while its presence in the second makes only one meaning possible:\n'I could tell she\u2019d been crying because her face was red and ugly.'\n'I could tell she\u2019d been crying, because her face was red and ugly.'\nAfter reading about McCarthy and his stupid ideas, I went off and started reading recipe books to calm down. Not any old recipe books, mind you; I turned to one of the best writers I know.\nHis name is Simon Hopkinson. He hasn't won any prizes for writing, I don't think, perhaps because he only writes cookery books. Even so, to my mind he is a great stylist and better than most of the feted authors of today. This tiny example of his prose, taken from The Vegetarian Option, exhibits Hopkinson's care with words and his meticulous use of punctuation. In the space of one sentence, he conveys a piece of information he has been given, while also making it clear that he has quite serious doubts about whether it is reliable or not:\nOkay, it isn't earthshaking, but it also isn't ambiguous - and that's good enough for me.\nBill Peschel 5 February 2018 at 08:00\nI remember reading \"No Country for Old Men,\" and liking the early portion very much. It was gritty noirish prose that wouldn't have been out of place in a 1950s paperback. But the sheriff's philosophizing at the end was juvenile and nonsensical.\nThat sheriff section sounds like the bits I call portentous. The Road just left me astounded by how people could think it was a great piece of work. I thought it was flimsy and trite. Mind you, gritty, noirish prose is not to be sniffed at. I'll give him that.\nCouldn't get anywhere with \"All the pretty horses\". Perhaps if I self-medicated with testosterone, but it doesn't seem worth the side-effects.\nThe real question is would a doctor give you a prescription if you expanded it was in the cause of literary endeavour",

His influence and impact on our culture is unparalleled, and his artistic output of recordings and songs are both cultural landmarks and the genesis of countless great songwriters and musicians that have emerged in the decades since Dylan exploded onto the global stage.\nAmong Dylan\u2019s many cultural milestones, the legendary Basement Tapes \u2013 dozens of songs written and recorded by Dylan in 1967, backed by members of his touring ensemble who would later achieve their own fame as The Band \u2013 have long fascinated and enticed successive generations of musicians, fans and cultural critics alike. Having transformed music and culture during the preceding five years, Dylan had reached unparalleled heights by 1966 through the release of three historic albums, the groundbreaking single, \u201cLike A Rolling Stone,\u201d a controversial and legendary \u2018electric\u2019 performance at the Newport Folk Festival and wildly polarizing tours of the United States, Europe and the United Kingdom. Dylan\u2019s mercurial rise and prodigious body of work in that decade came to an abrupt end in July, 1966 when he was reported to be nearly killed in a motorcycle accident in upstate New York.\nRecovering from his injuries and away from the public eye for the first time in years, Dylan ensconced himself, along with Robbie Robertson, Rick Danko, Richard Manuel and Garth Hudson (and later, Levon Helm), in the basement of a small house in West Saugerties, New York \u2013 dubbed \u201cBig Pink\u201d by the group. This collective recorded more than a hundred songs over the next several months \u2013 traditional covers, wry and humorous ditties, off-the cuff performances and, most important, dozens of newly-written Bob Dylan songs, including future classics \u201cI Shall Be Released,\u201d \u201cThe Mighty Quinn\u201d and \u201cYou Ain\u2019t Going Nowhere.\nWhen rumors and rare acetates of some of these recordings began surfacing, it created a curiosity strong enough to fuel an entirely new segment of the music business: the bootleg record. In 1969 an album mysteriously titled Great White Wonder began showing up in record shops around the country, and the music from that summer of 1967 started seeping into the fabric of our culture and penetrating the souls of music lovers everywhere. With each passing year, more and more fans sought out this rare contraband, desperate to hear new music from the legendary Bob Dylan. The actual recordings, however, remained commercially unavailable until 1975, when Columbia Records released a scant 16 of them on The Basement Tapes album.\nLost On The River: The New Basement Tapes is a music event 47 years in the making. The album celebrates the discovery of never-seen Bob Dylan lyrics from that legendary 1967 period and marks a creative highpoint for the album\u2019s participants \u2013 Burnett, Costello, Giddens, Goldsmith, James and Mumford \u2013 who have brought them to life nearly 50 years later. As Burnett explains, \u201cWhat transpired during those two weeks was amazing for all of us. There was a deep well of generosity and support in the studio at all times, which reflected the tremendous trust and generosity shown by Bob in sharing these lyrics with us in the first place.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Posted on July 8, 2018 by Frank Tipton\nNPR Reporter: \u201cThis is like a legit museum, you guys!\u201d\nGann Student: \u201cI know!\u201d\nTwo years ago, on a beautiful early August day, my husband and I took a lovely walk in the woods. We came upon a neglected cemetery, with little more than a stone wall and a wooden sign to distinguish it from a field. We stopped and looked more closely. The wooden sign indicated that the \u201cMetFern Cemetery\u201d was where students from the Fernald School were buried, as well as the adult patients of the Met State Hospital.\nWhy were children buried in a forgotten corner of the woods?\nBack at our house, quick research yielded some initial info \u2013 the Fernald School was a state residential institution \u201cfor the feebleminded.\u201d The entry exam required a young child to score relatively poorly on a brief and flawed IQ test that took no account of a child\u2019s previous education or level of literacy. The \u201cstate boys\u201d were therefore a mix of students who were truly developmentally disabled (by 2018 standards) and those who were committed there simply by being wards of the Commonwealth. Progressive in its early decades, the Fernald School became a troubled institution by the mid-20th century \u2014 one with many stories of neglect and exploitation, such as the mistreatment of teenagers which led to the revolt chronicled in \u201cThe State Boys\u2019 Rebellion.\u201d Now closed, its 186 acres of land and buildings sit abandoned \u2014 ironically, adjacent to Gann Academy. While Fernald\u2019s entrance is 1 mile away, the property backs up almost to Gann\u2019s fields, with only a thin layer of trees separating one school from another.\nLess than two weeks after our walk, I sat down for coffee with a local historian, Alex Green, who was researching the history of Fernald . He shared with me many well-meaning but often under-resourced efforts to make visible the lives of those whom society had forgotten (\u201cThe State Boys\u2019 Rebellion\u201d being the one exception). It was that conversation that convinced me that a relationship between Gann Academy and the Fernald site was going to be fruitful, perhaps transformative. It was clear how meaningful it would be for Gann adolescents to research the lives of Fernald adolescents, and how powerful it would be for Gann students to help memorialize the site and suggest appropriate ways to preserve and reuse the space. It was an obvious opportunity for project-based learning (PBL). But I also felt that we had a moral obligation to tell the stories of the Fernald School. As a Jewish school with a commitment to \u201cbuild a better world where human dignity will flourish,\u201d we would be authentic to both our mission and our core values if we told these hidden narratives of liberty neglected, of dignity deferred.\nOf course, it was easy for me to have coffee with someone and envision educational, civic, and moral engagement. It was another to invite my school to pursue this resource-intensive work. I did not know how students and faculty would respond to the idea of a project such as this one.\nI need not have been concerned. Gann students and faculty immediately understood both the moral urgency and the possibilities. U.S. History teachers rewrote their curricula, on the spot. We brought Alex on board, first on a volunteer basis and then as a part-time teacher and PBL resource. Students developed a test website with a virtual map of the Fernald campus. A senior conducted research on the MetFern Cemetery, designed an online presence to tell its story, lobbied the Commonwealth to rehabilitate it, and created an online donation portal. That was year one.\nThis past year, two classes of history students learned and taught a history of Americans with disabilities. They analyzed historical artifacts; they researched background and context. They examined the narrative of American history through the lens of those whom mainstream society labeled \u201cdisabled\u201d in different eras. With the support of a grant from the Ruderman Foundation, and in interdisciplinary partnership with students in a graphic design class at Gann, they mounted an exhibit to demonstrate what a national museum for the history of people with disabilities might look like.\nYes. that\u2019s right: a national museum, the first of its kind, to be sited at Fernald, around the corner from our school. It had long been a dream of Waltham City Councilman George Darcy and many other devoted citizens and advocates, although not the vision of every politician in the city. Now, Gann students were prototyping what might be possible.\nOn June 7, 2018, the opening night of the exhibit, politicians, activists, and advocates mingled while students led tours and ran Q&A panels. Waltham Mayor McCarthy stepped to the podium and, in a dramatic gesture, pledged her support for the creation of a national museum at the Fernald site.\nThe exhibit, \u201cA Disability History of the United States: Division, Unity, Hardship, and Progress\u201d, has now attracted national attention:\nNPR (Here and Now): These High Schoolers Are Calling for a National Disability History Museum By Making Their Own\nBoston Globe: \u2018The history of disability was to hide it,\u2019 but Waltham students bring it to light\nWaltham News Tribune: UPDATE: Disability exhibit now on view at Charles River Museum\nDisability Visibility Project: Disability History in the U.S.: Interview with Teddy Bennett and Daniel Rabinovitz\nI am so incredibly grateful to the students, faculty, and staff of Gann Academy, who infused the entire enterprise with such an outstanding ethic of excellence. My school accomplished more than I could possibly have imagined in two years\u2019 time. There is so more to be done, but we are believers and we have the confidence to aim higher and achieve even more. More stories must be told. More advocacy must happen. The museum must be built.\nFor now I\u2019ll simply end by saying: two years ago, my husband and I had a lovely walk in the woods.",

Most original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), even the big ones, could not avoid the risk of a memory chip shortage and rise of memory prices through 2017. Supply shortages occurred not just in the memory IC market, but also in other semiconductor chip markets, such as microcontrollers and discrete, as well as in the passive component market, which benefited the suppliers but troubled the OEMs. On the other hand, successful OEMs are often differentiating their products with their own captive silicon solutions. The increase in OEMs\u2019 captive chip spending is a great risk for commercial chip vendors\u2019 future growth.\nGartner said that the top ten buyers accounted for 40% of the total semiconductor market in 2017, and predicts that this percentage will climb to 45% by 2021.\nVia Digitimes. iPhone X teardown photo: iFixit.",

But few of us get the recommended 7-8 hours of sleep per night, so our energy falters even though we insist on continuing to do \u201ceverything.\u201d\nThe result is higher stress and an even more insurmountable \u201cto do\u201d list.\nSo why do we insist \u2014 either consciously OR subconsciously \u2014 that it is imperative that we \u201cdo it all?\u201d Even more important: why do we apologize when we CAN\u2019T \u201cdo it all?\u201d\nPriorities, Importance, and the Unimportant\nThe answer is to prioritize what\u2019s important to us \u2014 because when everything is important, then nothing is really important.\nThe simple truth (albeit a hard one for many of us to accept) is that we can\u2019t \u201cdo it all.\u201d But we can do the important things \u2014 the things that represent our priorities \u2014 well. \u201cDoing it all\u201d inherently draws us off course as we attempt to also do the unimportant things in our lives.\n\u201cUnimportant,\u201d however, doesn\u2019t mean \u201cunnecessary.\u201d Unimportant tasks are those activities that might need to be done \u2013 but don\u2019t necessarily have to be done\u2026by us.\nTherein lies the challenge: when we admit that a task that we have traditionally accomplished can be done by someone else, it often causes our ego to question our \u201cvalue.\u201d\nOne of the most valuable lessons that I have learned is to accept the fact that I am a human being. This is NOT a human \u201cdoing\u201d nor is it a \u201csuperhero\u201d who doesn\u2019t need sleep, rest, and relaxation. It also means accepting the fact that I can\u2019t do everything \u201cperfectly.\u201d\nBut, like many of us, admitting that I can\u2019t do it all was and (to a certain extent) continues to be a challenge. At no time is this more evident than during the holidays.\nWhen we believe that everything is important, we lose our ability to prioritize things into what\u2019s really important, what\u2019s not important, and what\u2019s \u201cnice\u201d but neither necessary nor enjoyable.\nTrying to do it all leads to feelings of being overwhelmed. Failing in our attempts to do it all leads to frustration and a diminished sense of self-worth. When we exhaust ourselves trying to meet impossible self-imposed deadlines, we burn out.\nYet we continue in our misguided efforts to go beyond our very human limitations.\nHow to STOP Doing It All (and Not Enjoying It)\nThere is a twopart cure for trying to \u201cdo it all\u201d:\nFirst, we must prioritize what\u2019s important to us\u2026\nThen we must have the courage to focus our efforts on only those activities that are important to us\nThis means being able to say \u201cno.\u201d It also means being sufficiently confident of our own unique value so that we can feel comfortable delegating tasks to other people based on what\u2019s important to them.\nIf you love to bake, then by all means bake your family\u2019s traditional holiday cookies!\nHate to decorate the tree? Then enlist your children, nephews, and nieces to \u201cgo wild\u201d with their imaginations in the decorations.\nContinuing to spend days preparing the Feast of the Seven Fishes for your Italian family? Then scale back and prepare only those dishes that your family really looks forward to. (NOTE: I did this in my family \u2014 surprisingly, the missing baccala was not even noticed!)\nBut the most important step to STOP trying to do it all is to stop apologizing when we can\u2019t \u201cdo it all.\u201d\nIt\u2019s time to accept the fact that not only we personally but also everyone else CAN\u2019T \u201cdo it all.\u201d This insight drastically changes our perspectives of what is important, what is feasible, and what is just additional \u201cstuff\u201d that has little if any true importance.\nFREE De-Stressing the Holidays eCourse:\nHow to Move From Bah Hum Bug to HoHoHo!\nAvailable NOW \u2014 enroll in my free 3-lesson eCourse to learn 50 ways to de-stress the holidays at home and at work!

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb blog \u00bb Italian Style Wool Mattress\nI love getting in to work on a day when one of our wool mattresses is being made. Ryan, who is shown above, sits on his wonderful old hand carder and processes a veritable mountain of wool! The Italian style mattresses that this wool goes into came about because of a lovely lady called Mary \u202fwho had bought a wool mattress in Italy in 1968. She came to us to have it remade, and a couple of months later \u202fthe story of Mary and her mattress was picked up by The Telegraph. There is a link to it at the bottom of this page.\nWool is a wonderful fibre, it\u2019s fully sustainable, fire retardant and a great temperature regulator, and from time immemorial has been used to create a comfortable bed. It has a myriad other uses as well, but one of my favourite stories about wool comes from a time long past.\nWhen imported cotton threatened the wool industry in the 17th century, \u202facts were passed in parliament called the Burial in Wool Acts, which required the dead, except plague victims and the destitute, to be buried in pure British wool shrouds. Requiring something of the dead is difficult I think you\u2019ll agree, so the law said that an affidavit had to sworn in front of a Justice of the Peace (usually by a relative of the person who had died) \u202fconfirming burial in wool. There was a fine of \u00a35 for non-compliance \u2026 a huge sum in those days! \u202fBurial records in parish registers from those days are marked with the word \u2018affidavit\u2019 if a woollen shroud had been used, or marked \u2018naked\u2019 for those who were too poor to afford one.\nWhen the wool arrives with us at Abaca it has been washed (scoured is the technical term) but is in big clumps. To be able to use it in our mattresses it has to be opened, so Ryan spends a day or so sitting on his carder churning out the huge heap of soft wool that you see below. There is something hugely satisfying in knowing that wool that has been sheared from Welsh sheep is being turned into a finished product that is the epitome of luxury. Better still is knowing it\u2019s providing skilled work in the rural economy. A win win!\nIf you want more information about these mattresses have a look at our website\nhttps://www.abacaorganic.co.uk/product/newgale/\nThe story about Mary and her Italian mattress is here:\nhttp://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/property/green/9695896/Eco-living-The-mattresses-that-last-50-years.html\nGreat to see this story.\nHello! Do you offer to re-card Abaca wool mattresses when needed? I\u2019m intrigued by them and wondering how frequently it is required. Thank you, Zoe\nAbaca Organic\nHi Zoe, thank you so much for your questions. We do indeed re-card these mattresses when needed, so you can be sure that you\u2019re getting a mattress that will last a lifetime! As to how often they need doing, a rough estimate is every 5-7 years.",

        "raw_content": "'Choosing greatness': Pres. Trump's State of the Union aims for a unifying tone\nPresident Donald Trump said Friday there's a \"good chance\" he will declare a national emergency to get money to pay for his proposed border wall.\nJill Colvin & Catherine Lucy\nPresident Donald Trump heads into his State of the Union address dogged by bruising midterm losses and sinking poll numbers, wounded by a blistering standoff with Democrats. But for the stately speech, he plans to embrace unity - at least for the night.\n\"Well, I'm saying listen closely to the State of the Union. I think you'll find it very exciting,\" he said.\nHe's also expected to discuss the political turmoil in Venezuela and trade negotiations with China.\nOne early excerpt of the speech released by the White House: \"Together we can break decades of political stalemate; we can bridge old divisions, heal old wounds, build new coalitions, forge new solutions, and unlock the extraordinary promise of America's future. The decision is ours to make.\"\nThe administration has also been teasing several other announcements, including on the president's planned withdrawal from Syria.\nSecretary of State Mike Pompeo said in a Fox News interview that the president would \"make a significant announcement, I think in the State of the Union next week, with respect of the status of the caliphate, the real estate, the grounds from which (the Islamic State group) had been operating in Syria.\" Trump tweeted Friday: \"We will soon have destroyed 100% of the Caliphate, but will be watching them closely.\"\nTrump is also expected to seize on recent headlines about late-term abortion amid recent scrutiny of the practice and will talk about \"respect for human life,\" according to the senior administration official.\n\"He desperately needs to send a signal to the American people that his administration is open for business, that he is prepared to negotiate on a wide range of issues that might enable him to broaden support,\" Galston said. He added that after Clinton's losses in the 1994 midterm elections, his State of the Union speeches were \"much more conciliatory. ... He was much more interested in overtly laying out the possibility of common ground.\"\nDemocrats, meanwhile, intend to use the speech as an opportunity to underscore their opposition to the president and highlight the new generation of leaders that emerged during last year's midterm elections. Stacey Abrams, the former Democratic leader of the Georgia House of Representatives, will be offering the Democratic rebuttal.\nDemocrats are also preparing for the possibility of interrupting the president to make their opposition known - something House Whip Steny Hoyer, D-Md., said Trump shouldn't be surprised by.\n\"I think we ought to comport ourselves in a considered way. But I think his speeches are almost always to fire people up. And he should not be surprised that there is an opposite reaction,\" Hoyer said. \"He fires up his people, but he fires up the opposition to what he's saying or doing or suggesting.\"\npoliticsstate of the unionPresident Donald Trumpu.s. & worldwashington d.c.governmentborder wallgovernment shutdownnancy pelosi\nFACT CHECK: 2019 State of the Union address",

        "raw_content": "Statement by Superintendent Austin Beutner on the Resolution Regarding Charter Schools (01-29-19)\nThis Board Resolution is addressed to the Governor and Legislature in Sacramento where the laws and rules on Charter Schools are set. This is occurring in a very unusual circumstance.\nThis Resolution was suggested by a Board Member during the course of negotiations to help resolve a strike. Considered as part of the overall agreement with UTLA, I support the resolution as we are responsible for all of the students in LA Unified\u2014500,000 students in traditional public schools, 125,000 in charter schools and another 75,000 in early education and adult education programs. I did not and do not feel any of those 700,000 students would be in a better position today if the strike had continued while the Board deliberated over this Resolution.\nAs far as the substance of this Resolution I would make the following observations:\nI support school choice for families and recognize charter schools are one of the options for a high quality education. There is nothing in this Resolution to close any existing charter schools or reduce the many choices available to families in Los Angeles Unified.\nThe Charter School Act of 1992 and Prop 39, the ballot initiative approved by voters in California in November, 2000, sets forth all of the rules which govern the opening and operation of charter schools throughout California, including Los Angeles. All of these are non-profit, public schools and for-profit charter schools are unlawful in California. LA Unified does not have any for-profit charter schools.\nThe law is almost two decades old and it makes sense to me to pause while experts, not advocates, study all of the issues and propose what adjustments, if any might be appropriate to the law to provide a path for the next 20 years. The implementation of most laws, especially one as complicated as this, have impacts, good and bad, intended and unintended, and it\u2019s just plain common sense to take a careful look.\nOur responsibility at Los Angeles Unified is to make sure each and every one of our students is getting the best possible education and that all of the money our taxpayers provide us goes to schools to support students, and nowhere else.\nAll schools should be held to the highest possible standard of transparency and accountability, irrespective of their governance model or the nature of their contractual relationship with their employees.\nMore broadly, I would hope all of us engaged in the work of public education can recognize we need to find a way to work together to make things better. This is one of many areas we can work together to help provide a better education for our students and more support to all who work in schools to provide that education for all students. All means all.",

        "raw_content": "Books 2016, Inspiration, Learnings, Reading, Research, Uncategorized\nMS \u2013 A Life in Music by T.J.S. George\nAs a child, I grew up listening to devotional songs by MS \u2013 the Hanuman Chalisa, the Ramnavali, the Suprabatham, and the Vishnu Sahasranamam. One of my proud mommy moments was when my 2-year old second born would regale us with the singing of the first few words of Bhaja Govindam by MS when he had barely begun to string words into sentences. Every once in a while, I would resolve to play her songs at home as steadfastly as my dad did, only to let it slip in the humdrum of life.\nMS, to me and to several others exposed to her mellifluous voice and divine rendition, is synonymous with devotion. A certain sense of peace pervades your being as you lose yourself to her singing. Little did I know that underlying that serenity were stormy forces and scandalous events that made MS a household name in south India.\nIn this biography, MS \u2013 A life in Music, author T.J.S. George has done a phenomenal job of writing the life story of MS in the context of the societal norms, the evolving performing arts, and the people in her life \u2013 notably her mom Shanmughavadivu, her husband Sadasivam, and her contemporaries.\nI confess that half way through the book, a part of me wished that I had not started this book because I was worried that I would feel let down \u2013 I would form impressions of MS that I didn\u2019t want to. But I am glad that I persisted because the rest of the book so beautifully reinforced how that her enablers (her mom and her husband) may have made calculated moves to make MS popular but that did not in anyway adulterate her dedication to her art . From the beginning to end, MS did what she knew best \u2013 being true to her music. With passion. With discipline. And devotion. Nothing else mattered to her.\nIf you heart MS or are a music lover, this is the book for you. You will not only end up learning more about the legend but become more knowledgeable about the dynamics that shaped the carnatic music through generations.\nI leave you with few lines from the book that tugged at my heartstrings.\n\u201cHer involved non-involvement, her detached attachment somehow enhanced her beatific profile. She was Sadasivam\u2019s wife, Rajaji\u2019s disciplie, Kalki Krishnamurthi\u2019s friend, but she was always MS. In the end, she herself was her music and her bhakthi. In the end she attained what the people around her seemed to miss \u2013 a sense of fulfillment. Sadasivam was successful and devout, but did he find ultimate fulfilment? Rajaji stayed for long at the top of political and social pyramids, but did he find the satisfaction of the true achiever?\nA look at MS was enough to convince anyone that she had found herself. When she sang the Rajaji hymn \u201cKurai ondrum illai\u201d it was like she was telling the world about herself and thanking her god for his blessings. One word occurred frequently in the language of those who met MS in her later years: Glow. Everyone talked about how she glowed from within. In the midst of frenetic life, she had found serenity. An aura of grace surrounded her.\u201c\nExperiences, Experiments, Introspection, Kids, Research\nOctober 4, 2015 Maha Leave a comment\nI was going over the Indian National Pledge in preparation of my culture class. This is how it goes.\nAll Indians, are my brothers and sisters.\nI love my country and, I am proud of its rich and varied heritage.\nIn their well being and prosperity alone; lies my happiness.\nA part of me felt very sad that the pledge left the most important piece \u2013 self-respect. Respecting parents, teachers and elders are important and I stand by those values but isn\u2019t respect for self equally important? Why does our culture not teach us to nurture the self? After all, aren\u2019t we our worst critics? Isn\u2019t self-compassion the hardest practice? shouldn\u2019t we all be taught to listen to our inner voice? Isn\u2019t being true to oneself the noblest of all virtues?\nWell, I am not going to start a petition for changing the pledge. But I am a mom and I am a teacher. I can kindle minds, and that\u2019s precisely what I intend to do!\nHari Katha, Learnings, Little Moments, Research\nLearning through music rocks!\nHari\u2019s school rocked today, literally and figuratively. One of the topics in the science syllabus for this year is rocks and minerals. Guess what the music teacher did? She picked a few rock songs from the 50s, tailored the lyrics to be all about rocks and minerals, and organized a concert around it. How very creative is that, isn\u2019t it? Hari\u2019s class sang about the different kinds of rocks (igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic) while another section had a song that talked about how wind, water and ice shape rocks, so on and so forth. The kids sang and danced, and became experts on rocks and minerals along the way. Who knew memorizing can be effortless and fun filled?\nInspired by similar events in the past, I have been experimenting with teaching kids via songs, and hands on activities at sunday school this year. I see a world of difference in the enthusiasm that goes into learning. For instance, I have always stayed away from making kids memorize states and union territories of India. It felt too much. That is until I came across this song on youtube. For the past three classes, I have been spending a few minutes practicing this song with the kids. When I quizzed them based on the lyrics, I was happily impressed with how the kids were competing with each other to answer. As homework, I asked them to practice the first sixteen lines. Want to know their response? They insisted that I extend the homework to have them practice the entire song. What\u2019s not to love about this love for learning?\nExperiences, Learnings, Research\nPTA contributions\nIt took me a couple of school years to fully appreciate the critical role that the PTA (Parents Teachers Association) plays in the school system. The PTA raises funds, facilitates enrichment activities and are vocal advocates of the community. An active PTA truly makes a big difference to children\u2019s learning experience at school. It takes time and effort from an army of volunteers to keep the wheels of the association oiled and running smoothly.\nOn behalf of the PTA, I compile the monthly newsletter for the school. It takes about two to three hours of my time every month. Although the work itself is mundane, the feeling of contributing to a higher purpose makes it gratifying. Today, I worked on a newer version of the newsletter and was very impressed with the cool new templates that Word has (all I did was open up a new Word document and searched for newsletter in the template section). Very excited about the new look and feel\u2026! I had super fun tweaking it and making it relevant for our newsletter.\nAfter mentally rehearsing how I wanted to frame the conversation, I dialed the 1-800 number with determination.\nI had a $18 balance on the credit card of a retail store. They had slapped a $15 late fee for making my payment two days late. While I had already made the payment and as much as I accept that some late fee was in order, this figure seemed outrageous. How could I let it go without a fight? If not anything, I had to express my displeasure.\nWith all this frustration bottled up, I waited for the \u201cnext available customer service agent\u201d. As soon as I heard a human voice, I explained the situation as is, and asked him if the late fee could be waived. And guess what? No arguments, no back and forth explanation. Just a polite, \u201cLet me handle that for you today. Your $15 fee has been waived and your new balance is\u2026 kindly make your payment on time the next time, which is due mid of next month.\u201d I had to pinch myself to make sure that this was real and that all it took was a 10-minute call to get back my $15.\nDa told me he is not surprised and that this is more common than what I think. I did some digging and turns out he is spot on. Check this article out, the story is not very different from mine.\nIf you find yourself in a similar situation, remember to just ask!\nExperiences, Hari Katha, Learnings, Research, Writing\nHari will have his first standardized test for the year tomorrow. The learning and practice for the test has happened over the academic year at school. Additional preparation at home is neither required nor expected. I have not spent a minute coaching the child at home.\nTomorrow\u2019s assessment will be long composition. A writing prompt will be given based on which children will have to write a two-page essay. Most of the school day will be spent in writing a first draft and editing it before it can be finalized. The essay will be graded based on idea development, organization and use of rich language.\nThis was last year\u2019s writing prompt.\nYou are finally old enough to baby-sit, and your first job is this afternoon! You will be spending the entire afternoon with a one-year-old. When you open the door you realize that instead of watching a one-year-old child, you will be watching a one-year-old elephant!Write a story about spending your afternoon with a baby elephant. Give enough details to show readers what your afternoon is like baby-sitting the elephant.\nAnd here\u2019s description of the essay that got the perfect score. I am not reproducing the essay here, but check out the comments to give a sense for what\u2019s expected \u2013 pretty sophisticated writing, I would say!\nThis richly developed and carefully organized composition begins with the engaging introduction, \u201c\u2018WOO-HOO!\u2019 I\u2019m finally old enough to baby-sit!\u201d and immediately draws the reader into an unfolding adventure. The plot continues to develop as it is discovered that the object of this babysitting adventure is an elephant from a family zoo. Effective description of the elephant follows with phrases such as \u201cwith ears too big for her head\u201d and \u201call I could see at the moment was a gray lump wriggling around and trumpeting loudly.\u201d The voice of the writer is apparent as the audience experiences the feeding of this \u201ccutie-pie.\u201d Subtly, the writer strategically places her salad recipe on the counter, leaving it to play a later part in the conclusion. After lunch, the story continues to the backyard kiddie pool where splashing and bathing prove exhausting. The writer uses effective word choice to show that the job is not that easy: \u201cShe cried and twisted, yelped and pulled. I put up a fight sometimes, but this was one tough elephant!\u201d It is evident that the relationship between the two deepens in the writer\u2019s thoughts: \u201cshe snuggled up to my hand,\u201d \u201cwow, she is adorable,\u201d and \u201cI pulled up her blankets and patted her head.\u201d There is an effective interaction of dialogue between the sitter and the family when they arrive home, as everyone is shushing everyone else in an effort to keep the \u201cbaby\u201d sleeping. The writer is praised and invited to babysit the next Saturday. Suddenly, the salad recipe left on the counter is of great interest to the mother. She would like to use it to make a salad to feed \u201cthe other herbivores at the zoo.\u201d She also notes, \u201c[G]et rid of the hay[,] add some chicken and almonds and you\u2019ve got a salad for the rest[a]urant!\u201d The writer\u2019s conclusion finishes with the clever comment, \u201cWell, as for the other animal I\u2019m sitting for on Saturday, I\u2019m praying it\u2019s not a tiger. A monkey would be nice though.\u201d\nI have always felt like I can get better at writing by following tips taught at Hari\u2019s school. They are taught to have a strong beginning, a powerful ending, to appeal to all the senses , to use vivid words, and what not. I love love how writing is taught in schools here\u2026!!!\nWish Hari all the very best for tomorrow.",

Note that applicants based at EU member and associated countries, as well as in countries participating in a bilateral call with the SNSF are not eligible.\nSPIRIT awards CHF 50\u2019000-500\u2019000 for 2-4 years to teams of 2-4 researchers from all disciplines to conduct collaborative scientific projects in any topic. At least 30% of the approved amount must be spent in Switzerland and at least 30% in the partner country or countries.\nSPIRIT aspires to promote cross-border collaboration, as well as the scientific capacity of researchers in countries receiving development assistance and in Switzerland, especially of young researchers and women scientists. Scientific quality being equal, preference will be given to women scientists or to proposals showing better gender awareness in the research project and team.\nPre-proposals can be submitted any time via mySNF.\nFour months after the submission of pre-proposals, pre-selected applicants will receive an invitation to submit a full proposal within the following 2 months. The final decision will be communicated within 10 months from submission of the full proposal.\nA highly competitive selection process is in place, with 12 projects being funded per year. Pre-proposals will be evaluated by the Specialized Committee International Collaboration and by the newly appointed SPIRIT Evaluation Commission (SEC). The SEC comprises a pool of permanent international members from the humanities and social sciences, mathematics and the natural and engineering sciences, and medicine and biology, as well as a gender equality expert. Full proposals will also undergo peer review and will be approved by the Specialized Committee and the NRC Presiding Board.",

In May of that year Nato said that an air strike had killed senior al-Qaeda leader Sakhar al-Taifi in the same province.\nAbout 1,000 Afghan civilians have been killed and more than 2,000 wounded in the first half of this year - most of them in insurgent attacks - according to the United Nations.\nThis represents a 23% increase in casualties compared with the same period last year.\nLabels: Afghans killed, Kunar Province, suicide bombers, Wardak",

        "raw_content": "The men\u2019s rights movement (MRM) is a part of the larger men\u2019s movement. It branched off from the men\u2019s liberation movement in the early 1970s. The men\u2019s rights movement is made up of a variety of groups and individuals who are concerned with issues of male disadvantage, discrimination and oppression.[1][2] The movement focuses on issues in numerous areas of society (including family law, parenting, reproduction, domestic violence) and government services (including education, compulsory military service, social safety nets, and health policies) which purportedly discriminate against men.\nSome scholars consider the men\u2019s rights movement or parts of the movement to be a backlash to feminism.[3] Men\u2019s rights activists contest claims that men have greater power, privilege or advantage than women do and argue that the women\u2019s movement has \u201cgone too far\u201d and harmed men, especially in areas related to child custody, child support, and in division of marital assets during divorce.\nClaims and activities associated with the men\u2019s rights movement have been criticized by scholars, the Southern Poverty Law Center and commentators. Some sectors of the movement have been described as misogynistic.\nSource: Men\u2019s rights movement \u2013 Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\nWhy women should care about men\u2019s rights\nMen\u2019s Rights Activists are pissed off with a comic that made them a bit uncomfortable\nNew Statesman: The \u201cDads for Change\u201d campaign is a good start, but it\u2019s no parenting revolution\nPosted on 16/02/2016 18/02/2016 Author afla2016Categories Elections 2016, Fatherlessness Epidemic, Human Rights, Shared parentingTags Activism, Adam, African American, Al Sharpton, American Cancer Society, Andrew Wyatt, Australia, BBC, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Central America, Child custody, China, Civil and political rights, Domestic violence, Family court, Fathers' rights movement, Feminism, Feminist movement, Human Rights, Men's rights movement, National Football League, Parenting, Roosh, Shared parenting, United Kingdom, United States17 Comments on Men\u2019s rights movement\nby Stephen Baskerville, Ph.D.\nFatherhood is rapidly becoming the number one social policy issue in America. President Bill Clinton stated in 1995 that\n\u201cthe single biggest social problem in our society may be the growing absence of fathers from their children\u2019s homes, because it contributes to so many other social problems.\u201d\nIn 1997, Congress created task forces to promote fatherhood, and in 1998 the governors\u2019 and mayors\u2019 conferences followed. President George W. Bush recently unveiled a $315 million dollar package for \u201cresponsible fatherhood.\u201d Nonprofit organizations such as the National Fatherhood Initiative were formed in the mid-1990s. Fatherhood was seen as the most serious social problem by almost 80% of respondents to a 1996 Gallup poll (NFI 1996 1 ).\nFatherhood advocates insist that the crisis of fatherless children is \u201cthe most destructive trend of our generation\u201d (Blankenhorn 1995 1 ). Virtually every major social pathology has been linked to fatherlessness: violent crime, drug and alcohol abuse, truancy, teen pregnancy, suicide \u2014 all correlate more strongly to fatherlessness than to any other single factor. The majority of prisoners, juvenile detention inmates, high school dropouts, pregnant teenagers, adolescent murderers, and rapists all come from fatherless homes (Daniels 1998; NFI 1996). The connection is so strong that controlling for fatherlessness erases the relationships between race and crime and between low income and crime (Kamarck and Galston 1990).\nYet despite its salience in public policy debates and within psychology, sociology, and law, fatherhood has received little attention from political scientists.\nThis neglect is not a minor omission. Arguably it is what has left the phenomenon unexplained. For despite a decade of attention, little attempt has been made to account for where the fatherhood crisis comes from in the first place. While it doubtless has a number of contributing social and economic causes that stretch back decades, there is evidence that the critical dimensions it has assumed in the last decade proceed at least in part from public policy, and that the problem should be seen less as sociological or psychological and more as political.\nContinue reading The Politics of Fatherhood\nPosted on 06/02/2016 22/05/2016 Author American FathersCategories Elections 2016, Fatherlessness Epidemic, Human Rights, Shared parentingTags Administration for Children and Families, Best interests, Child custody, Child Protective Services, Child support, CNN, Contact (law), Democratic Party (United States), Divorce, Domestic violence, Donald Trump, Family court, Family law, Father, Fathers' rights movement, Human, Human Rights, Miami, Mother, National Fatherhood Initiative, Parent, Parental alienation, Parents' rights movement, Public speaking, Shared parenting, Single parent, Supreme Court of the United States, United States, White House20 Comments on The Politics of Fatherhood\nElections 2016 Candidates\u2019 policy positions that directly address families.\nWhere Presidential Candidates Stand on Supporting Families\nWith the focus during this presidential race on Obamacare, immigration reform, terrorism, and the economy, it\u2019s not surprising that the leading Republican and Democratic candidates have had little to say about what they would do to support strong families. Moreover, the media haven\u2019t been particularly interested in what the candidates would do once elected to build and maintain what is arguably the most important institution in American culture.\nGiven my role as president of National Fatherhood Initiative, you might not be surprised that I\u2019m concerned by this lack of attention. I became further concerned as I watched the results roll in during the Iowa caucus. That\u2019s because Ted Cruz\u2018 win on the Republican side was helped greatly by Iowa Republicans\u2019 desire to vote for a candidate who shares their values. There\u2019s no doubt that Iowans \u2014 Republicans and Democrats \u2014 have long-shared the value of promoting strong families. The issue \u2014 which was certainly more prominent in the last election cycle \u2014 has been lost on pretty much everyone except, of course, the people who matter most \u2014 voters.\nTo be fair, I\u2019m convinced that each of the leading candidates believes in the importance of supporting families. But the proof is in the pudding, as they say. And I have no doubt they\u2019d go about supporting families a bit differently. So I decided to conduct a review of the five leading candidates\u2019 stands on promoting strong families and, most importantly, how they would help build and maintain strong families if elected. I not only wanted to know for myself where they stand. I wanted to help you and others who care about this issue to be better informed when deciding who will get your vote.\nTo conduct my review, I went straight to today\u2019s political version of the horse\u2019s mouth \u2014 the candidates\u2019 \u201cfor president\u201d websites. While acknowledging that some positions each of the candidates has articulated might indirectly strengthen families \u2014 such as policies to get more Americans working \u2014 I looked for policy positions that directly address strengthening families.\nTed Cruz seeks to \u201crestore a culture of life, marriage, and family.\u201d Unfortunately, Mr. Cruz offers nothing substantive on how he would restore that culture. His website simply touts his record on family planning (primarily his efforts to defund Planned Parenthood), anti-abortion legislation, and strengthening marriage.\nDonald Trump says absolutely nothing about strengthening families. Period.\nMarco Rubio offers the most substantive, detailed position on strengthening families among the leading Republicans. Mr. Rubio would seek to reform the tax code to treat parents fairly with, for example, a new $2,500 per child tax credit. He would seek to increase the availability of 4 to 12 weeks of paid family and medical leave for new parents upon the birth of a child, to care for ailing parents, for seriously ill employees, and for military families. He would pay for this leave through tax incentives for businesses that offer such leave rather than through legislative mandate. And he would promote marriage by allowing states to use federal anti-poverty funding for programs that use marriage as a means to lift families out of poverty.\nHilary Clinton\u2018s efforts to strengthen families would rest on guaranteeing paid family and medical leave. Specifically, Ms. Clinton would like to see up to 12 weeks of paid family leave under most of the same conditions as Mr. Rubio \u2014 leave for new parents, for those caring for elderly parents, and for seriously ill employees. She would pay for the cost with increased taxes on the wealthy to avoid burdening businesses with the cost.\nBernie Sanders\u2018 position also rests on guaranteeing up to 12 weeks of paid family and medical leave for the same reasons as Ms. Clinton. In contrast to Ms. Clinton and Mr. Rubio, he would pay for it through an insurance-style program that would be funded by a deduction from workers\u2019 paychecks. Given that he likens it to Social Security, I assume workers would not be able to opt out of this deduction.\nDepending on whether you tend to look at the proverbial glass as half full or half empty, you might be encouraged that three of the leading candidates would seek to implement reforms that would directly strengthen families. On the other hand, you might be discouraged that two of them have chosen not to address this important institution with specific reforms. Either way, I hope this post has given you a little more information to chew on as you decide which candidate to support. And maybe, just maybe, the candidates will have more to say on this issue as the campaign moves on to New Hampshire and beyond.\nChristopher A. Brown discusses the presidential candidates and where they stand on supporting families in his latest post.\nSource: Where Presidential Candidates Stand on Supporting Families\nBe Good to Yourself.

        "title": "[Kenya] Farah Esmail builds name and fame in fitness business",
        "raw_content": "[Kenya] Farah Esmail builds name and fame in fitness business\nAt a time when Kenya is enjoying a boom in the business of fitness buoyed by a growing middle class keen on their health, women are trailblazing in moving fitness beyond hobby to career, a feat of no mean repute that has now catapulted them to international stardom.\nFarah Esmail belongs to that leagues. In an interview with CNN\u2019s African Voices programme, Farah explained how she overcame cultural barriers to realize her dream of becoming a female bodybuilder.\nEsmail described how her childhood shaped her two passions in life: \u201cI had a very healthy childhood. I come from a family that\u2019s very sporty. My dad played a lot of squash and we used to run ten kilometre races together. It\u2019s always been part of my lifestyle to de stress and decompress through sport. On the education side, I was always pushed to excel. As a female, my family wasn\u2019t like: \u2018Oh, you\u2019re a female, we give first interest to the son in the family.\u2019 So I think I am who I am because of my upbringing. Funnily enough, when I was a kid I thought I would be a lawyer. I had a romantic image of me walking up and down with a briefcase.\u201d\nIt was after travelling to America that Esmail discovered bodybuilding: \u201cWhile in the States, I was exposed to a fitness competition. When I got to see these women on stage and the confidence, the amazing body, the physique\u2026 It stuck in my head that it would be an interesting thing to do.\u201d\nUpon returning to Kenya, Esmail had to create a plan for how she could train: \u201cI wanted to start competing but at the time the gyms were really premature in Kenya, not a lot of equipment. I went to the United States to meet a coach who put me on a programme. That year, I competed in Musclemania here in Africa and that was my very first competition. I came first in the bikini category. Then I was hooked.\u201d\nSince then, she\u2019s picked up medals all over Africa and is the three-time reigning \u2018Ms. Kenya\u2019 fitness model.\nEsmail showed the programme what\u2019s involved in her strict diet and fitness regime: \u201cMy workouts focus on a different body part each day. I work out six days a week and then one day I week I will do conditioning training\u2026 My diet is given to me by my coach in the UK and basically it\u2019s five meals a day, focused on vegetables and protein.\u201d\nEsmail explained to the programme that when she first began competing, there were some cultural barriers to overcome: \u201cIn Kenya, as a Kenyan woman on the stage, there\u2019s a lot of cultural issues. There\u2019s no other way to look at muscle other than if you\u2019re on stage in a swimsuit.\u201d\nHowever, the influence of social media and role models like Esmail has encouraged more women to get involved: \u201cWomen in the sport is growing in Kenya. In 2014 when I competed, there were two of us from Kenya. Last year, we had about 15 to 16 girls enter the bikini category. It\u2019s also becoming socially acceptable. Now you see more women in the gym. You see a lot of us on Instagram.\u201d\nEsmail further explained to the programme how competing is about more than just the sport: \u201cThe whole purpose is to get people united through sport, so it\u2019s a chance for me to be on stage with other competitors from other countries.\u201d\nHer ultimate goal, however, is to share her passion with others: \u201cOne of my end goals is, at some point, to be running a healthy resort. One of the things I do want to do is have a place that is a haven for people to come to, where I would impart some of [my] skills and have them come away healthy and fit.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Batman Sidekick Robin Gets TV Pilot\nWired said:\nThe CW Television Network is readying a pilot that will delve into Robin's experiences before he became Batman's sidekick.\nThe show, titled The Graysons, will portray Dick \"DJ\" Grayson during his formative years as he deals with girlfriends, rivals and family problems, Variety reports.\nExecutive-produced by Terminator: Salvation director McG, the show was hatched by Kelly Souders and Brian Peterson, who deal with the early years of Superman as showrunners for the CW's Smallville series.\nIt's not the first time a Batman spinoff has had a shot at prime time. Anybody remember Birds of Prey? Back in 2002, The WB tried to sex up the Gotham mythology with airborne female superheroes who protected the citizenry in Batman's absence. It didn't fly.\nNo word yet on casting the title role, but whoever gets the gig will have a tough time trumping Burt Young (pictured), who portrayed The Boy Wonder in the 1960s Batman TV series. Have any suggestions for likely actors? Let us know in the comments below.\nDidn't Robin's parents die when he was young, very early teens, before being assigned as a ward of the state to Bruce Wayne?\nIf the premise of the show is going to be Dick Grayson's life before becoming Robin, then what exactly is the show going to focus on? What comic books he read?\n\u2018The Graysons\u2019 TV Series Axed By CW: Was Batman\u2019s Success To Blame?\nWhile television seems like the ideal medium for comic book adaptations, they rarely ever make the cut to the small screen. According to Variety, the latest to fail is \u201cThe Graysons,\u201d the CW series that would revolve around Dick \u201cDJ\u201d Grayson in his pre-Robin days. The series was being groomed to either replace or complement Warner Bros\u2019 long-running \u201cSmallville.\u201d\nRumors abound as to why the series was dropped. Some insiders say it is because of Warner Bros taking the time to rethink its DC strategy \u2014 a thought process that seems to be taking an awful long time when it comes to the big, long-awaited properties like Superman, Green Lantern, and Wonder Woman.\nAnother report suggests that Batman\u2019s top man, Christopher Nolan, was uncomfortable with having a Batman-themed TV show on the air. But given that Nolan has no interest in ever including Robin in his Batman films, it seems unlikely that he would care about a television series focused on the Boy Wonder. It was studio president Jeff Robinov who had the final say, and the official studio statement suggests that he was the one who wasn\u2019t interested in competing Batman mythologies. \u201cThe studio has opted not to go forward with the development of \u2018The Graysons\u2019 at this time as the concept doesn\u2019t fit the current strategy for the Batman franchise.\u201d\n\u201cThe Graysons\u201d sounded like it had the potential to be pretty fun \u2014 are you sorry it was abandoned? Or do you think Robin should stay off movie and television screens alike?",

        "raw_content": "Trump\u2019s litmus test for GOP tax plan? It must \u2018cost me a fortune\u2019\nHome / Uncategorized / Trump\u2019s litmus test for GOP tax plan? It must \u2018cost me a fortune\u2019\nTrump\u2019s massive net operating loss in 1995 reduced his tax bill to zero for years.\nAs Matthew Yglesias explained in Vox, \u201cYou don\u2019t need \u2018genius\u2019 to pull off Trump\u2019s tax avoidance \u2014 you just need to be rich.\u201d Rich, that is, and in the real estate business. The key, as tax expert David Cay Johnston documented, is the manipulation of \u201cnet operating losses\u201d (NOLs) on top of the \u201calready liberal tax breaks Congress gives big real-estate owners.\u201d\nTrump dumped the real costs of all this on investors who saw gold in his brand name, but who lost everything even as he was paid tens of millions of tax-free dollars\u2026\nNOLs are incredibly valuable. These tax losses can be used to offset salaries, business profits, and income from, say, a television show or making neckties in China. Thanks to his $916 million of NOLs, Trump could earn much over 18 years in salaries, profits, and interest, but pay no income taxes.\nWithout Donald Trump\u2019s tax returns, there is still much we do not know about the shell game that enabled the reality TV star to stiff Uncle Sam. Still, the most grotesque aspect of Trump\u2019s schemes may be that most of them are probably perfectly legal. (Most, but not all. Trump\u2019s use of the unlicensed charitable Trump Foundation to pay off legal costs generated by his for-profit businesses almost certainly violate laws on \u201cself-dealing.\u201d And Trump apparently used his Foundation to skirt taxes on his appearance and speaker fees by having payments made directly to his \u201ccharity.\u201d)\nBut that \u201cblue-collar billionaire\u201d supposedly devoted to \u201cthe forgotten Americans\u201d isn\u2019t content to rest with the gains\u2014ill-gotten and otherwise\u2014he has withheld from the IRS. Donald Trump has promised that as president, he would implement a new set of windfalls for himself and his children.\nUnder my plan, I\u2019ll be reducing taxes tremendously, from 35 percent to 15 percent for companies, small and big businesses.\nAs Trump spokesman Steven Cheung then confirmed, that same 15 percent rate will also apply to so-called \u201cpass-through\u201d businesses which pay taxes on revenue as personal income. Businesses, that is, like Donald Trump\u2019s.\nThat one change to the tax code wouldn\u2019t just drain an estimated $1.5 trillion from federal coffers over the next decade. That pass-through payday for plutocrats would also redirect millions of dollars from Uncle Sam to Donald J. Trump and family\u2014every year.\nAs Trump\u2019s tax attorneys explained in his campaign\u2019s March 2016 required financial disclosure:\n\u201cYou hold interests as the sole or principal owner in approximately 500 separate entities. These entities are referred to and do business as The Trump Organization. \u2026 Because you operate these businesses almost exclusively through sole proprietorships and/or closely held partnerships, your personal federal income tax returns are inordinately large and complex for an individual.\u201d\nAnd that would mean really YUGE savings for President Donald Trump.\nWho wins from Donald Trump\u2019s tax plan? Among others, Donald Trump.\nAs the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) explained, \u201cPass-through income is claimed by business entities that aren\u2019t subject to the corporate income tax, which currently has a top statutory rate of 35 percent (though most corporations pay an effective tax rate considerably lower than 35 percent). Pass-through income is business income that \u201cpasses through\u201d the business and is instead reported on the individual tax returns of the business owners and taxed at the owners\u2019 tax rates.\u201d\nBut as CBPP also documented, \u201c\u2018pass-throughs\u2019 are not synonymous with \u2018small businesses\u2019 and \u201cpass-through income is highly concentrated at the top:\u201d\nMr. Trump, who has proposed a 15 percent corporate tax rate, proposes a pass-through rate of 15 percent as well. The Trump pass-through proposal would be an expensive tax cut that would flow primarily to the wealthiest Americans. That\u2019s because more than two-thirds of pass-through business income flows to the highest-income 1 percent of tax filers.\nMany businesses, such as law firms, and groups of wealthy investors choose to be taxed as pass-through entities instead of as corporations and often do so to lower the overall taxes they owe. In recent decades, many businesses and their owners have reaped sizable tax savings by doing so. A special 15 percent tax rate on pass-through income such as the Trump tax plan proposes would offer them another large tax cut.\nAs the Washington Post reported, \u201cTrump would tax pass-through income at a rate of 15 percent, compared to the 40 percent personal income tax rate a wealthy business owner would pay today.\u201d And as the Post\u2019s Jim Tankersley explained, one of those wealthy business owners is Donald Trump himself:\nA little-noticed provision in Donald Trump\u2019s tax reform plan has the potential to deliver a large tax cut to companies in the Republican presidential nominee\u2019s vast business empire, experts say.\nTrump\u2019s plan would dramatically reduce taxes on what is known in tax circles as \u201cpass-through\u201d entities, which do not pay corporate income taxes, but whose owners are taxed at individual rates on their share of profits. Those entities are the most common structure for small businesses and increasingly popular for larger ones as well. They are also a cornerstone of the Trump Organization. On his 2015 presidential financial disclosure report, Trump listed holdings of more than 200 limited liability corporations, which is a form of pass-through.\nIt\u2019s no wonder Roberton Williams, a senior fellow at the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center, said \u201cIt\u2019s a really nice deal\u201d for Trump and pass-through owners like him. It was with good reason Hillary Clinton called it \u201cthe Trump Loophole.\u201d\nBut it\u2019s not the only one The Donald is proposing for himself, Ivanka, Eric, Donald Junior, and his other offspring.\nEnding the estate tax could mean a $7 billion windfall for them and a $270 billion hole for Uncle Sam.\nAs you might recall, his campaign finance disclosures claim he has a net worth of $10 billion and earned $557 million between January 2015 and May 2016. While his income sources are no doubt diverse, President Trump would surely reap millions from candidate Trump\u2019s income tax and capital gains tax rate reductions alone. And if he is telling the truth about his net worth, The Donald\u2019s heirs could pocket more than $7 billion from his promise to do away with the estate tax now paid by only the richest 0.2 percent of family fortunes.\nNow, that $270 billion in lost revenue over the next decade from the estate tax repeal will have to be made up somehow. But the plans currently in discussion by the Trump administration and House Republicans led by Paul Ryan would make that hemorrhage of red ink far, far larger. As I noted in November:\nThe man who apparently hasn\u2019t paid Uncle Sam a penny in 20 years has proposed a tax cut scheme that will enrich him, his businesses and his children for years to come. Whether based on The Donald\u2019s own outline or House Speaker Paul Ryan\u2019s \u201cBetter Way\u201d budget blueprint, the Trump Tax Cuts of 2017 will drain roughly $6 trillion from the United States Treasury over the next 10 years. Unfortunately for those forgotten men and women who supported him, decades of evidence show that Trump\u2019s massive supply-side windfall for the wealthy won\u2019t make him \u201cthe greatest jobs president that God ever created.\u201d What the 45th President and his Republican allies will accomplish, however, is the greatest expansion in income inequality since Ronald Reagan ambled into the White House.\nThe question isn\u2019t whether the GOP will give Donald Trump a massive tax cut, only how large.\nTo help offset the dramatic increase in national debt their tax cut windfalls for the wealthy would inevitably produce, President Trump and Speaker Ryan are turning to three tactics. Each has touted a 20 percent \u201cborder adjustment tax\u201d optimistically forecast to raise $1.2 trillion over the next decade. (This de facto tax on importers\u2014and consumers\u2014faces a lot of push-back from Senate Republicans.) In addition, previous proposals from Trump and Ryan have called for draconian cuts in spending, nearly 70 percent of which would come from programs for low and modest income Americans. And then there is the perennial Republican promise to \u201cclose loopholes\u201d and \u201cend tax breaks\u201d which now cost the United States Treasury almost $1.5 trillion a year.\nWho pays for the Republican windfall for the wealthy?\nUnfortunately, neither Donald Trump nor Paul Ryan have ever provided much detail on just which loopholes they\u2019d be willing to close. But what Ryan and Trump Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin have both done is to lie about who will bear the burden. As Ryan comically put it in 2012, \u201cWe\u2019re proposing to keep revenues where they are, but to clear up all the special interest loopholes, which are uniquely enjoyed by higher income earners, in exchange for lower rates for everyone.\u201d For his part, Mnuchin promised during his confirmation hearings that \u201cI think we want to make sure that tax reform doesn\u2019t increase the size of the deficit.\u201d But that\u2019s not all he promised:\n\u201cAny tax cuts for the upper class will be offset by less deductions that pay for it.\u201d\nSame as it ever was: GOP tax cuts for the rich will exceed the value of all deductions they get now.\nBut as James Kwak documented in \u201cThe Deduction Fairy,\u201d Mnuchin\u2019s December pledge simply isn\u2019t mathematically possible. \u201cWhen it comes to the truly rich, however, there just aren\u2019t enough deductions out there to eliminate.\u201d This is precisely the trap Mitt Romney fell into during the 2012 election, when he guaranteed that \u201cfor high-income folks, we are going to cut back on that, so we make sure that the top 1 percent keeps paying the current share they\u2019re paying or more.\u201d As Ezra Klein documented that August, the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center tried their best to make Romney\u2019s promise work:\nThey even tested the plan under a model developed, in part, by Greg Mankiw, one of Romney\u2019s economic advisers, that promises \u201cimplausibly large growth effects\u201d from tax cuts. The fact that they couldn\u2019t make Romney\u2019s numbers work even when they stacked all these scenarios on top of one another shows just how impossible Romney\u2019s promises are\u2026\nThe reason Romney\u2019s plan doesn\u2019t work is very simple. The size of the tax cut he\u2019s proposing for the rich is larger than all of the tax expenditures that go to the rich put together. As such, it is mathematically impossible for him to keep his promise to make sure the top one percent keeps paying the same or more.\nFast forward to 2017. Now, President Donald Trump isn\u2019t, as he boasted, the exception to the rule. He is the rule. If he pays any federal taxes at all, his check to Uncle Sam will only get smaller under his own plan. After all, he calls for cutting the top income tax rate from 39.6 to 33 percent and limiting the capital gains tax rate to 20 percent from 23.8 percent now. Paul Ryan would go even further by dropping the top rate on investment income to 16.5 percent. And in his biggest win of all, President Trump will slash the business tax rate from 35 percent to 15 percent for all companies, including pass-through businesses like the Trump Organization.\nAll of which means that Donald Trump\u2019s tax plan is not \u201cgoing to cost me a fortune.\u201d If Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) can deliver a Republican tax cut bill to Trump\u2019s desk, it will almost certainly provide, well, golden showers for the President and his children. Like him, you can take that to the bank.\nIs Trump Plan to Offset Billionaire Tax Cuts By Repatriating Corporate Funds Stashed Offshore?Uncategorized",

        "raw_content": "Living for Each Other in a Time of Need\nDecember 15th, 2017 - adpifoundation\nCollegiate News | Foundation\nFor Maddie Price \u2013 Eta Pi, Virginia Tech, her life unexpectedly changed seven years ago. The day she found out she made her high school varsity basketball team (as a freshman, no less) was the day her father suddenly passed away from a rare disease that everyone was unaware of at the time.\n\u201cThe loss of a parent is not easy for anyone, especially when you are a freshman in high school and just starting to figure life out,\u201d said Maddie. Family dynamics began to shift. Maddie\u2019s mother was forced to sell the family business. Other assets were sold. It has been difficult for Maddie and her family, who is still picking up the pieces seven years later. Her mother made it a priority to do everything possible to ensure both Maddie and her sister could place their education first.\nMaddie has remained private about her struggles, only confiding in a few sisters. \u201cIn the past few months, the stress of this situation has taken a toll on my health. I do not know where I would be today if it weren\u2019t for the sister who insisted we share our meals together to ensure I eat properly. When one of my sisters noticed a dramatic drop in my weight, she knew exactly what to do. I am so grateful for the friendship that I have with her, and I will forever be indebted for her generosity.\u201d\nMaddie, who just finished her term as Chapter President of Eta Pi, was encouraged to apply for the Abigail Davis Grant after speaking with her Chapter Advisor Judie Hain Reemsnyder \u2013 Gamma Kappa, West Virginia Wesleyan College. Judie said, \u201cWhile looking out for everyone else in the chapter, working hard to keep them on track towards another Golden Lion, Maddie largely keeps her personal life to herself and rarely asks for assistance, feeling that it is her job to take care of her own life and work things out without burdening others.\u201d She continued, \u201cMaddie is an outstanding young woman who possesses a strong moral character, work ethic, and sense of responsibility for herself and others. She is honest, conscientious, hardworking, and reliable. She has already given so much to our sisterhood and wants to continue to give and learn as an Alpha Delta Pi sister.\nMaddie was granted her request to receive the Abigail Davis Emergency Grant earlier this semester to assist with her tuition and school fees. Overjoyed, she shared, \u201cI can\u2019t even begin to express how much that this means to my family and me. My mom fell to the floor and teared up when I shared the news with her. We are so grateful.\u201d\nMaddie is soaring through her senior year and will graduate with a B.S. in Business Information Technology, and minor in Operations and Supply Chain Management. Just this week, Maddie shared, \u201cI recently accepted a full time job working for Amazon as an Area Manager in one of their fulfillment centers. I know this opportunity would have never happened if it wasn\u2019t for the kindness and generosity of the Foundation giving me the opportunity to be able to stay in school.\u201d\nBecause of the support of our sisters, the Alpha Delta Pi Foundation is able to provide emergency grants to our collegiate sisters in need, like Maddie, ensuring they stay in school and continue to reach for their dreams.\nYou made me cry today. I love his story of hope. Thank you for making my day.",

        "raw_content": "March 1, 2016 by Always a South Girl\nThe Lamudi Kick Off Party At Dillinger\u2019s, Greenbelt\nThis was our third event for the day so we arrived there looking really tired and I even came in unprepared, meaning I am not in my fashion sense coz I was wearing a pink hoodie and carrying my heavy gym backpack., but the best part of this party was the free flowing drinks! Also, I met a lot of nice people plus I had a nice chitchat with the CEO.\nThe Lamudi Kick Off presented the 2015 Recent Report giving detailed finidngs about more than half (55.05%) of the respondents cited Metro Manila as their preferred area for their property purchase, with Quezon City being the most preferred city (19.47%), followed by Makati (8.65%), and Manila (8.41%). Cebu Province is the second most cited area by those looking for a property (6.97%), followed by the Province of Cavite (6.73%) and a few that would be mentioned in the press release when you scroll down.\nKEY FINDINGS OF LAMUDI PHILIPPINES\u2019 2015 RESEARCH REPORT Global property website Lamudi Philippines details key findings of its 2015 research paper MANILA, FEBRUARY 3, 2016: Prospective homebuyers and real estate professionals are generally optimistic about the Philippine real estate market in 2016. These are just two of the key findings of a research report recently released by global property website Lamudi Philippines (www.lamudi.com.ph). Lamudi used data from its Q2 2014 to Q1 2015 onsite search, the results of 2015 survey involving real estate professionals and its website\u2019s users, and its listings data to put together the research paper. Below are 11 of its key findings. 1. Metro Manila the most preferred location In Lamudi\u2019s survey conducted in 2015, more than half (55.05%) of the respondents cited Metro Manila as their preferred area for their property purchase, with Quezon City being the most preferred city (19.47%), followed by Makati (8.65%), and Manila (8.41%). Cebu Province is the second most cited area by those looking for a property (6.97%), followed by the Province of Cavite (6.73%). It should be noted that these provinces are home to highly populated and popular cities for homebuyers, including Cebu City, Lapu-Lapu, and Mandaue (Cebu Province) and Bacoor, Imus, and Dasmari\u00f1as (Cavite). 2. Filipinos in general are optimistic about home-owning Lamudi\u2019s survey found that 79.6% of respondents said they\u2019re looking to move house in the future. An overwhelming majority\u201494.86%\u2014is searching for houses, while 2.42% are looking for a condo, and 1.21% looking for townhouse. The survey also found that 79.57% of the respondents cite the Internet as their starting point when searching for a property. They cited real estate websites, search engines, and social media websites as their starting points when searching for property. 3. Reasons for moving house The survey also asked the respondents reasons why they are looking to move house. The most commonly cited reasons were: planning to purchase their own property (79.57%), area preference (either looking for a better area, planning to move to another city, or planning to live close to relatives) as the primary reason for their impending move (14.66%), proximity to schools (1.44%), and work-related relocation (2.4%). 4. Real estate professionals\u2019 observations Real estate professionals are equally optimistic about the industry. In the survey, 36% of them said that banks\u2019 more stringent housing loan approval has little or moderate effect on the housing market, specifically the buyer side. In addition, 51% and 53% of them said that political climate and economic uncertainty will have minimal effect on the housing market. 5. More real estate professionals now online The survey showed that 59% of the surveyed professionals cited online listings platform as their most widely used online channel to advertise their property listings. In addition, only few of the surveyed professionals use offline channels to advertise their listings: traditional media (12%) and their organization\u2019s MLS (10%), and referral from fellow agents (1%). 6. Ten Philippine cities now have average home price of over Php10 million City Ave. House Price (Php) Makati 217.3 million Muntinlupa 55.88 million Taguig 34.37 million Mandaluyong 21.08 million Pasig 18.96 million San Juan 17.66 million Cebu 15.03 million Quezon City 14.75 million Tagaytay 13.35 million Para\u00f1aque 12.18 million Using Paranaque as an example, a homebuyer who plans to buy a house in this city needs to make Php4.8 million per year (using the 2.5 rule) in order to afford the city\u2019s average home price. According to Investopedia, a prospective homeowner can afford to mortgage a home that costs approximately 2.5 times his gross annual income. If a person makes Php50,000 per month (Php600,000 per year), he can afford a property that costs Php1.5 million. 7. Makati and Taguig are the Philippines\u2019 most expensive condo markets Lamudi analysis shows that Makati and Taguig has some of the Philippines\u2019 most expensive condos in Q1 2015. Makati\u2019s average condo price (per sqm) is Php139,503 (US$3,090), while Taguig condos have average asking prices of Php125,031 per sqm (US$2,770). However, using data from Global Property Guide, Metro Manila is considered a bargain when you compare it to other key cities in Asia. In Hong Kong, Singapore, Tokyo, Shanghai, and Bangkok, the average prices of condos stand $22,814, $15,251, $10,784, $6,932, and $3,952 per sqm, respectively. Metro Manila, however, is more expensive than Jakarta ($2,766/sqm) and Kuala Lumpur ($2,616/sqm). 8. More property developers focusing on affordable housing HLURB data shows total licenses to sell declined 15.35% y-on-y to August 2015, due mainly to the drop in the issuances of non-residential projects (memorial parks and parking units). However, there has been an increase in the number of new applications for low-income housing. The number of LTS for socialized housing, doubled as of August 2015 (year to date) from the same period in 2014. There have also been significant increases in numbers of LTS issued by the HLURB for mid-income housing (56.58 percent increase) and low-cost condominiums (22.18 percent). 9. Metro Manila\u2019s share of onsite search volume decreasing Although Metro Manila is the most searched region in the Philippines for online house-hunters, its share of search volume among all regions is decreasing: \u25cf 78.55% in Q2 2014 \u25cf 63.21% in Q3 2014 \u25cf 58.9% in Q4 2014 \u25cf 55.1% in Q1 2015 In contrast, other regions saw their search volume and share increase every quarter: CALABARZON \u25cf 7.89% in Q2 2014 \u25cf 12.67% in Q3 2014 \u25cf 13.29% in Q4 2014 \u25cf 14.71% in Q1 2015 Central Visayas \u25cf 6.09% in Q2 2014 \u25cf 8.66% in Q3 2014 \u25cf 9.99% in Q4 2014 \u25cf 11.99% in Q1 2015 Search volume for CALABARZON\u2019s surged on average 130% quarter-on-quarter from Q2 2014 to Q1 2015, while that for Central Visayas increased on average 104% quarter-on-quarter from Q2 2014 to Q1 2015. 10. Most searched cities Quezon City\u2014the most-searched city on the Lamudi Philippines platform\u2014generated 244,456 searches for Q1 2015, of which 37.3% were searches for for-sale properties (regardless of property type) and 15.6 percent were searches for rental properties. Makati is the Philippines\u2019 second most searched city. Of the total 116,451 searches conducted in the same period, 51 percent were for properties\u2014specifically condos\u2014for rent, while 33.9 percent were for for-sale properties. Paranaque, Pasig, and Mandaluyong are the third, fourth, and fifth most searched cities in the Philippines. On average, search traffic increased 75%, 71%, and 74%, respectively, every quarter from Q2 2014 to Q1 2015. 11. Most searched property types Condos were the most searched among website users looking for rental properties, while houses were preferred by those looking for property for sale. Quezon City is the most searched city for houses for sale: 54.8% of those looking at the city are searching for houses for sale, while 8.7% are searching for house for rent. Makati generated the greatest volume of searches for condos, of which 61.1% were for rentals (while 33.6% percent were looking for for-sale condos)\nLaunched in 2013, Lamudi is a global property portal focusing exclusively on emerging markets.

        "title": "Power Ranking of AMHS Required Reading Books \u2013 THE TALON",
        "raw_content": "Power Ranking of AMHS Required Reading Books\nWhat are the most iconic books the students of AMHS have read?\nAdriana Carter, Staff Writer|October 12, 2018|304 Views\nMs. Hurt's bookshelf features literature textbooks and a few of her famous stuffed animals among other books.\nEach year, the students of AMHS procrastinate reading books for English class until the night before it\u2019s due and then typically cram to finish them (or read SparkNotes) to complete assignments before class begins. There\u2019s some controversy over whether or not required reading is important in schools as a result, and some schools are leaning more towards allowing students to choose what they read. Anna Clifford (9) believes that required reading books are not very beneficial, especially when they\u2019re not very intriguing to students. Some English teachers at AMHS have begun allowing students to read choice novels throughout the school year in combination with required reading. When asked what he thought about the required reading books, Kevin Boyd (12) stated, \u201cWait, we were supposed to read them?\u201d The following is a review of some of the most iconic required reading gems that the students of AMHS read each year.\nDisclaimer: Potential spoilers ahead!\nFor being the first required reading book I ever read for summer reading at AMHS in 9th grade, it definitely ranks as the worst. Mariane Jenkins (9) thought that Siddhartha was super boring, along with the rest of the Magnet student body. Needless to say, I don\u2019t think anyone reached Nirvana after reading this book.\nHawthorne took the common writer\u2019s proverb \u201cshow don\u2019t tell\u201d to the next level with this book. \u201cIt was good for not understanding anything,\u201d says Kate Kuisel (12). Pauline Wang (12) also made a revolutionary discovery about the symbolism of the scarlet letter while reading this book. \u201cSo that\u2019s what those Taylor Swift lyrics meant!\u201d she exclaimed in reference to Taylor Swift\u2019s song \u201cLove Story.\u201d\n8. Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare\nAbby Keating (12) commented, \u201cIf I wanted to read about a bunch of stuffy old white guys conspiring to kill each other, I would just read the news.\u201d At least after reading this book we can now all use the phrase, \u201cEt tu, Brute?\u201d as an allusion when our best friend stabs us in the back. Literally.\nIf I wanted to read about a bunch of stuffy old white guys conspiring to kill each other, I would just read the news.\u201d\n\u2014 Abby Keating\n7. Oedipus Rex by Sophocles\nAlthough Oedipus Rex is not exactly a book, I felt that it deserved a spot on the list. Who can forget about the guy who slept with his mother and killed his father before stabbing his own eye out?\n\u201cWhat a lousy book written by a complete phony,\u201d stated Caroline Young (12). While some people related to the stream-of-consciousness style of writing that Salinger used to depict Holden Caulfield\u2019s thoughts, many just thought he was annoying and needed to take some Prozac.\nSarah Romagnuolo (12) absolutely loved reading Catch-22. She commented, \u201cCatch-22 was my favorite book because I love reading long books that make no sense.\u201d Stuart Philp (12), however, was disappointed in Catch-22. \u201cI didn\u2019t think there were enough deaths in Catch 22,\u201d he said. \u201cIf I had it my way every character would\u2019ve been dead by the end of the book.\u201d\nCatch-22 was my favorite book because I love reading long books that make no sense.\u201d\n\u2014 Sarah Romagnuolo\n\u201cI totally studied for this test,\u201d Lilly Ku (12) said confidently. So it goes.\nWell, old sport, after watching the movie featuring Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan I had a sudden inclination to run around my house throwing clothes everywhere just for the fun of it. Also, protip: if you want your crush to notice you, throwing a huge party every night is an effective method. It has also been discovered that Daisy actually had a child in the book. Who knew?\n2. Frankenstein by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley\nMy impression of the classic horror story Frankenstein has been altered by my memories of watching the iconic movie parody Young Frankenstein in Ms. Novinger\u2019s English class sophomore year. But you also have to give Shelley credit for jumpstarting the infamous career of Frankenstein\u2019s monster. It\u2019s actually pronounced \u201cFronkensteen,\u201d by the way.\nYams are the basic unit of life.\u201d\n\u2014 Dylan Carter\nZinnia Harris (12) claims, \u201cThings Fall Apart jump started my depression.\u201d I don\u2019t know a single person who enjoyed this freshman year summer reading staple, but it gets a 100000/10 just for the yam memes, which bumped it up to first place. According to Dylan Carter (10), \u201cYams are the basic unit of life.\u201d I remember very little of what actually occurred in this book, but I still remember the yams. They have changed the lives of the Magnet student body forever.\nTags: ap lang, books, english, required reading, sparknotes, yams",

I have the experience to give people the advice they need to make thoughtful decisions for their future.\nEducation and Professional History\nI graduated from the University of California, Hastings College of the Law, in 1976, and I was admitted to the Alaska Bar in 1977. I started my legal career as a commercial and business lawyer. For the next fourteen years, I worked with business clients to find practical solutions to the complex problems they often faced in running their companies. While I learned a great deal about commercial and business law, I found I did not have a passion for what I was doing.\nIn early 1991, an opportunity came along, which changed my life. A good friend and family lawyer decided to leave Alaska. She called and asked if she could refer her divorce clients to me when she left. I said, \u201cOf course.\u201d Within a matter of months, I was helping divorce clients find practical solutions for the problems they faced in their divorces. Twenty-five years and many clients later, I still love what I do.\nA Dedicated Divorce, Child Custody, and Family Law Attorney\nThe Alaska Bar Association does not certify family lawyers as specialists. Therefore, I cannot ethically hold myself out as a family law specialist. I can, however, state that my practice emphasizes family law cases.\nI have worked with clients in Anchorage, on the Kenai, in the Mat-Su Valley, and Fairbanks. I have represented clients from many walks of life \u2013 from subsistence fishermen to successful business owners.\nBecause I was a commercial and business lawyer for the first fourteen years of practicing law, I can provide effective and aggressive representation for professionals, entrepreneurs, and corporate executives, and work with them to protect their personal and business legal interests.\nI am a member of the Alaska Bar Association, the California Bar Association, and the American Bar Association.\nYou don\u2019t have to face your divorce alone. We can work together to find solutions to the problems you may face during your divorce. Contact me today to get started.",

The MRI uses magnetic fields and the CT uses x-rays. The MRI may see an injury to the brain that can go undetected in a CT scan as it has a higher resolution.\nUsing electrodes placed on the skull, an EEG records electrical signals coming from the brain. A slowing of these signals may indicate a lesion whilst widespread slowing may indicate a wider disturbance of the brain function. An EEG may be used to confirm diagnosis from other tests.\nIntracranial Pressure Monitor\nDoctors may insert one of these monitors into the skull if they are concerned about pressure from inflammation in the Acute stage of injury.\nThis is a diagnostic test where fluid is extracted from the spinal column. Pressure on the spinal column is measured and the cerebro-spinal (CSF) fluid is then examined for viral cultures, elevated white cell counts and blood. In the majority of cases, ANE patient\u2019s CSF will show elevated protein and no virus\u2019s.\nA Tracheal Intubation or Tracheotomy is sometimes performed, as well as careful montoring of breathing and heart function.\nIt is becoming more common to have ANE warriors tested for the gene mutation, RanBP2. It is a simple blood test. Some hospitals will do the testing as a matter of course. Testing may be done \u201cin house\u201d at the hospital if they they have the facilities to do so. However, some hospitals may send the bloodwork overseas to an appropriate facility for testing.\nMedical Assistance & Medications\nComa Inducing Drugs\nA medically induced coma is when a patient receives a controlled dose of an anesthetic, typically propofol, pentobarbital or thiopental, to cause a temporary coma or a deep state of unconsciousness. This type of coma is used to protect the brain from swelling by reducing the metabolic rate of brain tissue, as well as the cerebral blood flow. Throughout a medically induced coma, a patient\u2019s critical life functions are constantly monitored by an anesthesiologist or other physician in a critical care setting only.\nThese drugs can help stop or prevent seizures. Most ANE patients will have seizures at the onset of ANE. These seizures can be quite dramatic (tonic/clonic) or almost unnoticable (focal or generalized). Anti convulsant medication may have a sedative effect. The most common drug used is Keppra. For a list of other types of anti convulsant medication see \u2013 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anticonvulsant#Benzodiazepines.\nIntravenous Fluids (IV\u2019s)\nIntravenous therapy is the infusion of liquid substances directly into a vein. ANE patients may have the following fluids administered through an IV line. Rehydration fluids after becoming dehydrated, antibiotics , steroids and pain management medications.\nThis is an anti viral drug used for the treatment of influenza. It works by slowing down the rate at which viruses infect cells. It does not eliminate the flu virus, rather it slows its progress. It needs to be taken early in the infection cycle and hence some Dr\u2019s of ANE patients recommend it be taken at the first sign of influenza to guard against recurrence of ANE.\nNasogastric Intubation (NgTube via the nasal passage) or Gastric Intubation (GTube via abdomen walls) is a common procedure that provides access to the stomach for feeding.\nHigh-dose corticosteroids are normally administered for a few days, this helps reduce swelling and pressure within the brain.\nThe physician may provide acetaminophen (Tylenol, others), ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others) and naproxen sodium (Aleve, others) \u2014 to relieve headaches and fever.\nUntil a bacterial infection is ruled out, antibiotics can sometimes be used for prophylactic measures. These will be used if ANE is caused by a bacteria.\nThis therapy can help people with weakened immune systems or other diseases to fight off infections. IVIg gives you antibodies that your body is not making on its own, so you can fight infections. Immunoglobulin is part of the blood plasma. It has antibodies in it to fight germs or disease.\nPlasma can contain antibodies that attack the immune system. A machine can be used to remove the affected plasma and replace it with good plasma or a plasma substitute. This is also known as plasma exchange.\nSometimes, Melatonin is prescribed to helps control the sleep and wake cycles in ANE patients and other ABI patients.\nAfter traumatic brain injury, some doctors are prescribing Ritalin for low arousal or initiation, poor attention and concentration, depression, and slow processing speed. There is research that shows that Ritalin may speed recovery early after moderate to severe TBI. There is also research showing that Ritalin increases mental processing speed after TBI, which can improve memory function in some people.\nThese drugs may sometimes be used in post-traumatic brain injury to treat agitation, disruptive behaviour and/or agressive behaviour as the brain heals.",

In recent years, however, careers in law or medicine have been pushed aside in favor of technologically advanced careers; namely, software development. Technology is on the rise, and software developers are rising with it.",
        "raw_content": "Software developers are taking the lead in job rankings, featuring unsurpassed entry level salaries with exponential growth in future pay, as well as exciting career opportunities. Rated the #1 job in America by CNN, software developers are set to experience a 17% employment growth rate from 2014 to 2024, which is much faster than the average for all occupations. In that period, an estimated 135,300 jobs will open up.\nAs companies turn towards increased automation and a stronger online presence, they seek talented individuals who can help them code their way into the future. Even software engineers who are just starting out with no prior experience face a good financial climate, with starting salaries at a median of $64,970 in 2015, and 60% salary growth throughout their career.\nSoftware developers have one of the most coveted job positions, as Jon Bischke, the CEO of tech recruiting firm Entelo says, \u201cthere aren\u2019t enough qualified software engineers to fill all of the jobs being created by such a boom. Just ask any recruiter.\u201d Employers are always looking to hire software developers, even interns, and many will do whatever it takes to lure a developer from his or her old company. One developer had to cancel his LinkedIn account because he was getting bombarded with requests from recruiters.\nSoftware developers get more than just incredible opportunity, pay and job growth; employers are desperate to hire and therefore think outside the box, offering perks such as unlimited vacation days, the ability to work remote, and great in-office perks (think scooters and nap pods).\nNot only are developers highly desired in today\u2019s job market, they tend to have an overall higher job satisfaction rate than most other careers. Many software developers love the challenge that comes with coding: Problem solving, team-work and surprisingly, a great opportunity to use creativity and ingenuity to create some of today\u2019s most forward technologies.\nUS News features software development as being not only one of the top jobs in the country, but also one with a relatively low barrier to entry. While a software engineering degree can be helpful, it does not always guarantee a job. However, according to Sam Schillace, the Senior VP of Engineering at Box, and former Google employee, \u201csomeone who is a rock star coder with no degree but a huge list of achievements would be an easy hire,\" which paves the way for those who are determined to be successful, and who may have switched careers later in life, such as graduates of a coding bootcamp.\nAs the need for software developers grow, many people who are unhappy at their current jobs, or are looking to boost their salaries in a fast-growing career, seek options such as coding bootcamps to jumpstart their career in coding.\nCurious how a coding bootcamp can help you become a software developer?

        "raw_content": "Culture, History, Humanities, Sociology\nThe Summer Course in Narrative Study (SINS) is a six days intensive program that brings together PhD-students, doctoral students, faculty members and leading scholars in a multi-disciplinary, international discussion of existing and emerging concepts and approaches in the broad field of narrative study.\nThrough a combination of keynote lectures, participant papers, workshops and master classes the summer institute covers the state of the art of current approaches as well as provides the participants with outstanding possibilities of getting feedback on their own work.\nThe institute welcomes scholars working with any and all type of narrative form or function, be that verbal or non-verbal, fictive or non-fictive, spontaneous or artificial, and invites leading key researchers from fields such as postclassical narratology, narrative inquiry, rhetorical narrative theory, storytelling, cognitive narrative theory and transmedial approaches.\nThe Summer Course in Narrative Study is hosted by Aarhus University and takes place in August at the university\u2019s main conference center The Sandbjerg Estate, located in an area of natural beauty in the southern part of Jutland, Denmark.\nOne of the main goals of SINS is to instigate, stimulate and further refine productive dialogue on ongoing narrative research in an international state of the art setting. To help achieve this, the course combines different types of presentation and discussion as well as employs shifts in subject positions to facilitate genuine interaction between participants and the invited key notes. The course consists of three main types of sessions:\nLecture sessions: Invited key note speakers provide both overview and in-depth reports from the most recent research in their field with ample time for questioning and discussion.\nProject presentations: Prior to the course, participants provide a short, written account of an aspect of their ongoing work on narratives and/or narrative theory. On the basis of these accounts the participants are divided into groups, each headed by one of the invited lectures. In these groups each participant will do an oral presentation with comments, suggestions and questions from the rest of the group.\nReading sessions: Taking classic and very recent key texts as well as more marginal or under utilized theory in narrative study as their starting points, these groups provide an option to discuss a wide range of theoretical and methodological issues. Based on their area of interest, the participants are free to pick from the several different simultaneous groups.\nFinal program will be provided to participants at a later date.\nSigning up and Cost\nPhD students/doctoral students, postdoctoral students, scholars as well as senior staff members from all fields of study are encouraged to apply for a spot on the course. In 2019 the course holds a maximum of 36 participants. Should more than 36 apply the organizers of the course will select those deemed most qualified based on a number of factors, among those relevance of research topic. Participants in previous iterations of the SINS course are encouraged to apply again. Deadline for application is April 25, 2019. Filling out the form includes uploading a motivation letter (max 200 words), an overview of current research and interests (max 200 words) and providing information about your educational background. PDF and word file format is accepted. The participation fee is \u20ac350. This includes accommodation, all meals served and housing in single rooms. Participants must cover travel expenses.\nPreparation and Credit\nPrior to the course, participants provide a short, written account of an aspect of their ongoing work on narratives and/or narrative theory. These accounts will be distributed among all participants and will aid in dividing the participants into groups during based on topic, methods and theoretical affiliation. Apart from the short project presentations, participants will be required to read approximately 1200 pages in preparation for the lectures and reading sessions of the course. The course awards 5 ECTS points for those enrolled at PhD-level\nThe Summer Course in Narrative Study is hosted by Aarhus University and takes place at the university\u2019s main conference center The Sandbjerg Estate, located in an area of natural beauty in the southern part of Jutland, Denmark. Participants are housed in single rooms with private bathroom. All meals are included and served on the premises. For those travelling from Aarhus, a SINS bus will leave from the centre of Aarhus. More information on this will follow to the participants at a later date.",

Young businessman working in virtual reality glasses sees the inscription: HR\nRecruiting will never be the same thanks to virtual reality and other immersive technologies.\nIt is safe to say that virtual reality has become a part of many industries and business fields by now. However, we are not fully aware of how deeply it has entered the fabric of our professional lives. For instance, can you think of any application of virtual reality in staff recruitment? None whatsoever?\nIn this case you would be surprised to know that both recruitment companies and in-house HR specialists are already using virtual reality experiences to test and select job candidates and to create a comprehensive presentation of the workplace.\nVirtual Reality and Human Resources: A Perfect Fit\nAttracting top talent is a continuous challenge for HR professionals. Top candidates need strong incentives, one of these being the guarantee that they will become a part of a modern and innovative company, with a solid business culture oriented towards new technologies and real opportunities for personal growth.\nHow do you give a candidate this assurance? First of all, you need to have them face to face to explain to them the benefits of working for the company. But to do so, your job ad and recruitment process must be challenging enough to motivate them to apply.\nWhere does virtual reality fit in this scenario? In every step of the process, as we will show you below:\n1. Augmented and Virtual Reality Help Create a Gamified Application Experience\nJaguar Land Rover is a large car manufacturing corporation in constant need of electronics and software engineering specialists. In order to attract the best possible candidates, the company has created a unique recruitment experience in collaboration with the band Gorillaz.\nThe candidates enter the mixed reality setting of Gorillaz\u2019 actual house, and are free to explore iconic cars made by Jaguar Land Rover in the garage. Then, they must use their code-breaking skills to solve a series of puzzles. The successful candidates are moved one step further up the recruitment process.\n2. Showing Candidates What They Are Expected to Do on the Job\nThe Commonwealth Bank of Australia has decided to create an immersive virtual reality world where job candidates can experience daily work and its various challenges.\nThis virtual reality experience helps potential candidates understand the skills and level of experience they need to make a good fit. This is also helpful for human resources specialists, because some of the people who experience the virtual reality workplace demands in this manner will opt out of applying to a job they feel unprepared to handle properly. In this manner, both candidates and HR specialists save valuable time.\nSee Also: Cheap Virtual Reality Headsets Ranked\n3. Taking a Virtual Reality Tour of the Workplace\nApart from the company culture, the actual workplace has a strong impact on an employee\u2019s capacity to adapt and perform at their highest potential. Most companies offer candidates a quick tour of the offices and facilities, but this is nowhere enough to get a clear picture of the work dynamics.\nGeneral Mills has decided to create a virtual reality rendering of their headquarters which can be explored by candidates at their own pace using the Oculus Rift headset. This tour allows potential job candidates assess whether they would enjoy working there even before applying for a position.\n4. Testing Candidates\u2019 Resistance to Stress for Dangerous Jobs\nNo workplace is more dangerous than the military. In order to make sure that its recruits are a perfect fit for the job, the British Army uses a virtual reality simulator which places the candidates in real life combat situations and training drills.\nAll these applications of virtual reality in recruitment represent a benefit both for candidates and for HR professionals. Having the ability to experience the actual job duties and work environment helps candidates assess their own willingness to join a company, while recruitment specialists can get a first-hand idea of how well a candidate can perform in certain situations.\nSee Also: Experience Space as a Virtual Reality Astronaut\nTags:Human Resourcesoculus riftvirtual reality\nBenefits Beyond Hope for Dementia Patients Using Virtual Reality\nKey Augmented and Virtual Reality News and Events \u2013 July 2018",

        "raw_content": "Taking your living room to the stadium: a review of the FanVision G3\nIt might not be augmented reality just yet, but having action replays in your \u2026\nFor several years now, FanVision has been bringing your living room to sporting events, allowing fans access to the same sort of multiple feeds and replays that we take for granted on the couch at home. Back in 2007, when we still had an F1 race at Indianapolis, I tried out their Kangaroo TV, and found it a pretty good way to enhance a live sporting event. Last year, the company released an updated device, the FanVison G3, for use with a number of NFL teams as well as a couple of other events. This year, the G3 made its F1 debut, and a trip to the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps gave me the opportunity to see the difference four years makes.\nThe FanVision G3 in action at Spa. Wasps not pictured.\nThe original Kangaroo TV\nThe wasps. They never tell you about the wasps. Presumably they are attracted by the waffles, but whatever the reason, by golly there were a lot of wasps. Otherwise, everything else they say about Spa is probably true. It's very picturesque. The hills are very steep. The weather changes every few minutes, and it does make for exceedingly good motor races. The way the circuit wends its way through four-and-a-half miles of the Ardennes means you really need a view of one of the jumbo screens if you want to really stay on top of what's going on. Or, you could use a FanVision.\nBack in 2007, the devices were rental only, and in comparison to the G3, ungainly things with a 4:3 aspect ratio and low screen resolution. The G3 is just about PSP-sized, with a large widescreen display and simplified controls on the right-hand side. Gone is the numerical keypad, replaced by a four-way d-pad, buttons for Home, Video, Stats, and Back, all you really need to navigate the revised UI.\nAs it is fed by a UHF signal, you must be in range of the broadcast transmitters for anything to happen. Assuming you are, when you first fire it up at the track you'll be asked to enter a four-digit event code, and once it authenticates you'll be guided through set up screens to configure the different feeds you can access: on-board cameras from up to three favorite drivers, the trackside commentary feed, team radio transmissions, the BBC Radio 5 Live commentary feed, and so on.\nThe new, improved version\nFrom the Home page, you can navigate to video and audio feeds, a Twitter aggregation page (tweets mentioning @FanVisionF1 seem to be included), live timing and scoring, as well as event information (really quite handy), track analysis, championship information, and assorted help pages. The screen was bright enough to see even with sunglasses on, but you'll want to bring a headphone splitter with you if you plan on sharing the audio feeds with anyone. Good in-ear headphones will double as ear protection from the sound of F1 cars at any rate. Battery life is a claimed five hours; I didn't experience any issues at the track but I did recharge it each night out of prudence.\nThe best feature by far, in my opinion, was the ability to have BBC Radio 5 Live's audio commentary during both qualifying and the race itself. The trackside commentary was bilingual and not nearly as informative. Since we were sitting opposite a jumbo screen, I didn't use the main video feed very much, but the live timing page got a lot of use. This didn't seem to update as frequently as the iPad app does in the comfort of my own home, but I wouldn't want to expose an iPad to the risk of getting wet, muddy, or attacked by wasps at a race.\nIf you see this happen during the race, McLaren has already had a really bad day.\nThat's pretty much my stock answer to a lot of potential criticism towards the G3. Sure, I could potentially roll my own, assuming I had mobile internet access at a reasonable price and complete disregard for IP infringement. But you can't take either for given; I constantly bemoan the fact that my high school French didn't teach me how to buy a pay-as-you-go data microsim, nor how to top one up easily. Then there's the issue of F1's highly complex broadcast rights; just about every way I can think of replicating similar functionality would not be kosher, and the time and effort involved even if I did want to do so would far outweigh the cost of a new G3. Right now that's $250, which is steep, but compared to renting one of the older G2 models at a track, you'd be ahead by year three, possibly two depending on which races and what happens with exchange rates.\nHere's where it gets a bit more interesting. Remember how I mentioned FanVision had launched in 2010 with the NFL? If you have one (or happen to find a used one on eBay), FanVision will let you update it with the F1 firmware in exchange for \u20ac30 (about $41 as of publication), which is also the cost of adding extra races this season. You can also return it back to NFL-spec, and presumably to other sporting events in the future. I'm certainly hoping Le Mans will be available in 2013.\nOverall, I'm as impressed with the FanVision experience as I was in 2007, with the added advantage of not having to walk a rental unit back across baking hot Indianapolis Motor Speedway.\nListing image by www.fanvision.com",

        "raw_content": "I'm really enjoying these weekly Q&A's with Mark Verheiden. Especially since we aren't getting the podcasts in a timely fashion. Remember how some key Lee/Dee scenes ended up on the cutting room floor the last two seasons? Well, it's another couples turn!\nCMix: Considering you wrote this episode, what was your favorite part of it?\nMV: I\u2019ll go a little further this time, and start with what I missed. Even though we try to write these episodes to come out just slightly longer than time, it seems the (finished episodes) inevitably come in longer, and this one was no different. So I miss a few things that were shot but eventually cut.\nThere were, for instance, a couple Helo/Athena scenes that dealt with Athena\u2019s feelings about the mission, and the fact that she feels truly accepted by the others on the crew. This is followed by her and Helo\u2019s wariness/sadness when Pike starts making anti-Cylon comments and all the old suspicions come back. I think those moments would have softened what now feel like some pretty cranky interludes between her and Helo.\nAnd seeing her express how she truly feels accepted may have helped to explain her non-reaction to hearing about what the Cylons were doing to each other. Sigh.\nWELL HELL, that would not be important or relevant AT ALL.\nWell, you know how it goes... they could include scenes to flesh out a well-established character with a part to play in the current plot and scenes involving drama and contraversy around one of their most important plotlines... or they could include more sex. No contest. Cheesecake FTW!\nI was thinking they could have cut some of Baltar's sermons because, gee, those aren't getting redundant.\nI'm not sure why they don't think that character development and character interactions are important enough to include in the final cut of the show. I can't say that I was bothered by the Lee/Dee storyline but I also had zero investment in it (I had forgotten they were married until he said goodbye to her). With more scenes I might've cared a bit. And then leaving out any reaction from Athena about a cylon civil war is just poor storytelling. Perhaps they could've cut a few extended reaction shots of Galen staring blankly to fit it in.\nI was open to the idea of the Lee/Dee relationship early on, but they needed to sell me on why these two would be together, other than they are both good looking, and the scenes that might have helped to sway me were either badly conceived or ended up cut out of the eps.\nMy first thought on reading Mark's comments was why couldn't they cut out one of Baltar's sermons? Was he telling us anything we didn't already know? I think we all have a pretty good handle on what is going on with Baltar and his followers. But we're left confused, at best, by Sharon's non-reaction to the news of what is happening to her people.\nYes! Trim a sermon or two and replace it with an important character interaction.\nWell, that explains a lot! I wish they could put all eps online and then they wouldn't have to worry about length!\nOr at least the deleted scenes like they did with the second season!",

It is an old word in Gorean, Ko-ro-ba, meaning a village market, though few considered its archaic meaning. Kuurus looked on the city. It had once been destroyed by Priest-Kings, but now it was being rebuilt. Kuurus was not much interested in such matters. His was the Caste of Assassins. He had been called to this place.

        "raw_content": "How Do I Copyright My Song?\nOctober 29, 2018 Copyrighting Music / Copyrights / Intellectual Property\nIf you\u2019re a music producer or musician, you know how important it is to protect the rights to your music. After all, if you don\u2019t copyright your song, someone may steal your hard work! Of course, as a musician, copyright law might not be your forte. We\u2019ll do our best below to help you better understand how to copyright your music and protect your artistic property from opportunistic thieves.\nWhat Are Copyright Laws for Music?\nCopyright laws are often confusing \u2013 they vary depending on the type of product you\u2019re trying to copyright. With music, copyright traditionally arises legally when your record a song. The only condition is that the song is original \u2013 if you copy someone else\u2019s work, you can\u2019t copyright it.\nCopyright law can protect the underlying composition of any song you produce as well as the actual recording of the song (or, the master track). Keep in mind sometimes these two copyrights will be owned by two different entities\u2013 this is typically the case if you have a music deal with a label.\nCopyrighting a Song Online\nIf you want to take precautionary measures and submit a formal copyright request for a song, you can start the process by applying through the appropriate national representative body. In Canada, go to the Canadian Intellectual Property Office website. In the U.S. go to the U.S. Copyright website.\nin either case, you\u2019ll first need to create an account. Next, you should register the song you\u2019re trying to copyright and submit a copy. You\u2019ll then need to pay a fee and wait for confirmation of your registration.\nHow Much Is It to Copyright a Song?\nCopyrighting a song is much cheaper than you might think \u2013 this is especially true because you don\u2019t need to use a lawyer to copyright your music. Typically, the fee for copyrighting a single song is $50 CAD in Canada, or $35 USD in the States if you register it online.\nHow Long Does It Take to Copyright a Song?\nThe amount of time it takes to copyright a song will depend on the avenue you use to copyright it. If you use the online platform, the average wait time is around three months after initial registration.\nIf you decide to use a paper application, the process may end up taking ten months. We suggest that you use online copyright registration as it is much easier and ensures you receive your copyright registration much sooner.\nCan You Copyright a Song by Emailing It to Yourself?\nMany people suggest that emailing or mailing something to yourself automatically ensures a copyright is assigned to your musical composition. The idea is that this will document a date attached to your property and ensure no one can claim ownership at a later time.\nUnfortunately, this isn\u2019t true. Current copyright law dictates that your musical property automatically receives copyright when it\u2019s created \u2013 you don\u2019t need to send it to yourself. You should still register it with the U.S. Copyright Office to ensure you benefit from certain protections though.\nIf you want to seek damages for someone using your copyrighted material, it\u2019s essential that you follow the registration procedure mentioned in this article.\nWe hope this guide to copyrighting your music has answered all your questions and helped you protect your music for years to come!",

        "raw_content": "Is Dr. Google Making You Anxious? You May Have \u2018Cyberchondria\u2019\nAbout 1 percent of all searches on Google \u2014 representing tens of millions of inquiries a day \u2014 are symptom-related. But even the search giant admitted in a blog post that health content on the web can be hard to decipher and \u201ctends to lead people from mild symptoms to scary and unlikely conditions, which can cause unnecessary anxiety and stress.\u201d\nNew research has now coined a term for this self-inflicted anxiety from relying too much on \u2018Dr. Google.\u2019 Call it cyberchondria. It\u2019s a hybrid term that combines \u201ccyberspace\u201d with hypochondria, which refers to people who are abnormally anxious about their health.\nA team of researchers from Imperial College London and King\u2019s College London found that symptoms of health anxiety were often mistaken for those of an actual physical illness, which included chest pains and persistent headaches. These anxieties led to expensive and unnecessary medical appointments and clinical tests, the study found.\n\u201cMost of the information online is not complete, and relying too much on this information is what drives cyberchondria,\u201d said David Mishkin, M.D., medical director for Baptist Health\u2019s Care On Demand, a platform that provides patients with immediate online access to a Board-certified doctor via an app.\nEven Google makes a point to warn its search engine users that medical-related data on the web is \u201cintended for informational purposes only and you should always consult a doctor.\u201d\nDr. Mishkin, an emergency room physician, gives this example: \u201cIf you have a headache and you look up possible causes you are often steered towards very dangerous conditions, such as a stroke, infection, or tumor, when in reality the majority of headaches are not life-threatening at all. That is why I always encourage patients to consult with a physician first before making an incorrect self-diagnosis that can only lead to unwarranted anxiety and stress\u201d.\nBaptist Health is planning to expand its Care On Demand virtual platform, which has had more than 10,000 downloads since it first launched in August 2016. The virtual platform offers patients a Florida-licensed physician around the clock. Patients can consult with a board-certified physician regarding minor illnesses for a flat rate of $59 on a computer, tablet or smartphone.\nA typical Care On Demand session lasts on average five to seven minutes. Physicians can also treat children and young adults ages 2 to 18 with parental supervision. Patients can upload photos through the app to provide doctors with more precise information on, for example, rashes or minor burns.\nCare On Demand is part of a growing national trend that is seeing health systems become more interactive with their patients \u2014 and help avoid over self-diagnosing with Dr. Google, says Dr. Mishkin.\n\u201cPatients are more inquisitive and now they have all the resources at hand with the Internet,\u201d says Dr. Mishkin. \u201cCare on Demand is a resource to help alleviate some of that cyberchondria. Instead of searching \u2018Dr. Google,\u2019 you can look us up and talk to a real doctor online about your condition. That\u2019s a vital role we can provide to the community.\u201d\nA positive side of the Internet\u2019s growing role in healthcare: Patients who are \u201cmore informed than ever,\u201d he said.\n\u201cEven before they come to the emergency room or their doctor\u2019s office, a lot of patients have done their homework,\u201d says Dr. Mishkin. \u201cSo now you\u2019re seeing hospitals are trying to provide more accurate information through their websites, apps and other online resources to meet the demand for healthcare information and better educate their communities. We want to continue empowering patients.\u201d\nTags: Care On Demand",

It is his business to write poetry, and to do that he must remain open and vulnerable. We grow through relationships of every kind, but most of all through a relationship that takes the whole person. And it would be pompous and artificial to make an arbitrary decision to shut the door.\nThe problem is to keep a balance, not to fall to pieces. In keeping her balance in her last years Louise Bogan stopped writing poems, or nearly. It was partly, I feel sure, that the detachment demanded of the critic (and especially his absorption in analyzing the work of others) is diametrically opposed to the kind of detachment demanded of the poet in relationship to his own work. We are permitted to become detached only after the shock of an experience has been taken in, allowed to \u201chappen\u201d in the deepest sense.

        "raw_content": "The travel industry is one of the world\u2019s largest industries, with steady growth every year. In 1995, about 520 million people travelled internationally. 20 years later, in 2015, this number had grown to 1,065 million people. The travel industry provides employment to more than 292 million people, which accounts for 10.2% of worldwide employment.\nTravelers first paid with cash, then there were travelers cheques, and eventually there were payment cards to make financing your trip easier. With the development of better modes of transport and the invention of the airplane, reaching the other side of the world has become even easier.\nTravelling has evolved in the past years, however, we at TravelFlex believe we can take it to a higher level. TravelFlex wants to connect the travel industry to blockchain, to make travel financially cheaper and more secure. When you pay with TravelFlex coins (TRF), you don\u2019t have to worry about paying high fees for exchanging cash money, using the ATM or your credit card.\nYour TRF can not be lost or stolen, unlike the cash money or your credit cards you are carrying to your destination. You will never have any problems with the ATM not accepting your debit card or even swallowing your card. TravelFlex will come with its very own physical card that can be used at ATMs.\nFurthermore, we want to install special TravelFlex ATMs at major travel hubs, so you can print your TRF like travelers cheques and scan your cheques at our ATMs. The printed coins only work with your own pincode, so even if you lose your print-out, no worries, no one else can use your cheques.\nTravelFlex will end in 13 days",

        "title": "Reevaluating the Data on Muslim-Majority Countries",
        "raw_content": "Reevaluating the Data on Muslim-Majority Countries\nBy: John M. Owen\nIn a recent Cornerstone post, Daniel Philpott argues that, based on a recent Pew report, Islam is not \u201cgenerally inhospitable to religious freedom.\u201d He notes that the report, which uses measures of religious liberty developed by Brian Grim and Roger Finke, lists just over 25 percent of majority-Muslim countries as exhibiting \u201clow restrictions on religious freedom.\u201d That rating is based on two measures: governmental restrictions on religious belief and practice, and \u201csocial hostilities,\u201d or acts that are intolerant of a religious group and carried out by non-governmental actors.\nAmong those 35 majority-Muslim countries that rate poorly on the Pew scales, Philpott notes significant diversity. Twenty-one have Islamist regimes (i.e., have Islamic law or sharia) and the remaining 14 are secular (i.e., have laws derived from non-Islamic sources). The secular regimes have more in common with the French Revolution of 1789-95 than with the Islamic caliphate, and so their intolerance cannot be blamed on Islam. Even many of the Islamist regimes, such as that of Iran, were reactions to oppressive secular regimes.\nI have three points in response.\nFirst, Philpott acknowledges that 25 percent is not a stellar figure, especially when placed beside the rest of the world. Peculiarly hostile to religious liberty are the Middle East and North Africa, all of whose countries except Israel are majority-Muslim. Pew posts graphs showing that the Middle East and North Africa are significantly more likely than any other world region to have high governmental restrictions and high social hostilities to religious liberty. Philpott is literally correct that far from all majority-Muslim countries deny religious liberty, and in a time when many Islamists and anti-Muslims alike assert that Islam is always and everywhere intolerant, that is an important point indeed. But I think he dodges an important finding: The data he examines show a strong association between majority-Muslim status and religious intolerance. The governments and people of such countries are relatively likely to persecute religious minorities, full stop. Readers still might conclude that Islam is the root of the problem.\nSecond, those readers still would be wrong. It is not Islam that is the root of the problem, but a legitimacy crisis in most majority-Muslim countries over the proper role of religion in government, economics, and society\u2014a legitimacy crisis that has been going on for many decades and shows no sign of resolution. That, at least, is what I have argued in my book Confronting Political Islam (2015). A glance at the history of the Western world reminds us that other cultures or civilizations have gone through sustained, traumatic legitimacy crises characterized by political unrest, suppressions, revolutions, civil wars, violence by non-governmental groups, and foreign wars and interventions. Europe between the 1520s and 1640s had its \u201cWars of Religion,\u201d in which Catholics and Protestants intermittently slaughtered one another. To the Ottoman Empire at the time, it appeared that Christianity was the less tolerant religion. A century and a half later, it was the turn of the Enlightenment, a philosophical and political movement purporting to replace tradition with reason in politics and society. An observer of the decades of war, rebellion, and suppression during and after the French Revolution might be forgiven for believing that the Enlightenment had a problem with toleration. Finally, the twentieth century saw sustained international and national violence over whether communism, fascism, or liberal democracy was the best system.\nScholars, journalists, and ordinary people use various ways to figure out whether Islam or any religion (or ideology) is hostile to religious freedom. One way is to look to the religion\u2019s sacred texts. This method is especially common in my own tradition of evangelical Christianity, which takes sacred texts very seriously. It is no secret that the Qur\u2019an and hadith (sayings of the Prophet Muhammad) contain many statements about killing infidels. But the Bible relates many accounts of God\u2019s chosen people killing pagans, and yet today Christians do very little killing in God\u2019s name. Consulting sacred texts is crucial to an understanding of a religion, but is an uncertain guide to how tolerant its adherents can be. In different times and places, orthodox people make different arguments about how infidels and apostates ought to be treated. I would maintain, of course, that arguments for toleration won out within Christianity because they were true. But my point is that we must not attribute to Islam per se an intolerance that appears historically contingent.\nMy third point is a tentative bit of limited good news. Those of us who have been concerned that, in today\u2019s Muslim world, democracy and religious freedom are contradictory, are probably wrong. As in other cultures and regions, it appears that these two good things\u2014self-government and official toleration\u2014do go together in majority-Muslim societies. A long-standing fear in the West has been that the Middle East would be a more dangerous, less tolerant place if its countries were more democratic. That fear has long haunted the halls of power in the United States, Europe, and Israel. Fear of Muslim democracy seemed to be confirmed by the tragedy of Egypt after the 2011 revolution, when democratic elections produced a Muslim Brotherhood government that induced fear in the Christian minority. Grounding the anti-democracy thesis has been that Muslims today have no principled attachment to toleration, and so need authoritarian rulers to keep them in line. The thesis has underpinned Western support for authoritarianism in friendly states such as Egypt and Saudi Arabia.\nConsider what happens when we place the Pew data for majority-Muslim states from 2013 alongside democracy ratings for the same states from Freedom House for 2015. The good news is that countries with majority-Muslim populations that have low restrictions on religion also tend to stand out from their peers by rating as \u201cpartly free\u201d rather than \u201cnot free.\u201d Freedom House\u2019s methodology uses 25 indicators of political rights and civil liberties; the highest possible rating is 100. Among the civil liberties indicators is religious liberty, and so the Pew and Freedom House indices are not completely separate; some correlation should not surprise us. But the correlation in the table above is high enough to be suggestive.\nThe bad news is that the same juxtaposition of data shows no effect on social hostilities. Evidently religious minorities experience as much persecution from fellow citizens who are Muslim in democracies as in despotisms. Religious minorities in countries such as Egypt and Syria may be forgiven for believing that democracy would not protect them from their fellow citizens.\nSo I maintain my view that an abrupt state implementation of full religious liberty always and everywhere would lead to backlash and worsen the condition of religious minorities in the short term. But religious freedom remains a human right, and in the long term it meshes with other liberties to make for freer and more self-governing countries.\nThis piece was originally written for the Religious Freedom Project's Cornerstone blog as a response to a series which questioned whether or not Muslim countries are fundamentally unreceptive to religious freedom.",

An ethical dilemma is a situation where a person is faced with choices that may challenge his ethical principles or the choice of which may jeopardize crucial elements of one\u2019s life (English, 2008). This being the case, people must act rationally at all times when faced with ethical dilemmas such that emotions do not get a chance to influence one\u2019s choice, thereby making the wrong choice in an ethical dilemma.\nIn the case study, there are several ethical dilemmas that require solutions of different magnitudes.One major ethical dilemma in the case study affects Johnny\u2019s family life. A family gives the basic support required for better performance at work in any profession. Family problems always trickle down to one\u2019s work as they affect people\u2019s emotions and ability to think rationally. Johnny may be very successful but his success may be affected by his problems with his wife. The dilemma Johnny faces is whether to disregard his superiors call to duty impromptu at the expense of his family or to prioritize his work at the detriment of his family. Moreover, the working hours denies Johnny ample time with his family, which appears like family neglect.\nThis ethical dilemma is not totally due to working conditions. Johnny has contributed to his family problem by choosing to go for evening drinks with colleagues after evening shifts. In this cases Johnny can choose to go home and compensate his absence with his family, but opts to go out with co-workers for drinking. A new supervisor can create personal social profiles and reviews of officers both at work. This exercise can help in identifying signs of social problems since such problems may interfere with officers\u2019 performance of duty. Moreover, the supervisor can review the duty shifts from time to time to allow officers enough time with their families. For officers on leave or off-duty, they should only be called to work when the situation s very critical. The supervisor can also organize for special forums where families of officers can meet and share experiences. In such occasions, counselors can be co-opted to help the families to psychologically adapt to the working conditions of the heads of their families. Disagreements with his wife regarding his long working hours have made Johnny to avoid going home after work. He has occasionally spent time at Tony\u2019s place. This is avoiding the problem since his absence worsens his relationship with his family. A new supervisor should try to flex working hours for officers, especially those with families so that they are able to attend to their family duties accordingly.\nIn a criminal justice system, honesty is a highly valued virtue and ensures that there is transparency in the procedures of ensuring justice as well as fairness in delivering justice (McMullan, 1998). Officers in a justice system should carry out their duties in a manner likely to create a good image and credibility in the eyes of the general public being served by the system. Johnny exhibited lack of honesty in his duty when he agreed to attest that Tony had paid an informant $50 for the part she had played in assisting the officers to make progress in a drug case. Though Johnny had not witnessed the transaction between Tony and the inform ant, he signed that the transaction had taken place just to be on the good side with his friend. Johnny was faced with an ethical dilemma of whether to agree to attest t the usage of $50 on an informant and refusing to acknowledge any knowledge of the transaction. Obvious reasons that made Johnny to sign the receipt for the informant could be the fact that Tony was the one who took him through the System when he was transferred there. Moreover, they had worked together for a while and got acquainted with each other, thus Johnny signed the receipt as a gesture of their friendship. However, despite all these factors, honesty was supposed to prevail because it defined the ethical standards of the institution. A new supervise would be required to display the highest level of honesty and transparency so that his leadership would be through example. In addition, the virtue of honesty should be incorporated in the culture of the department such that it is talked about on regular basis. This way, its importance is kept alive in the minds of the officers thus increasing its likely adoption (Weiss and Boruch, 1996).\nAnother ethical dilemma facing Johnny is his inability to attend church. He had been devoted to church before he was taken to the narcotics department. The values he acquired there may have contributed to his ability to restrain from drinking alcohol excessively. This dilemma may be a contributing problem to his marital problems because the drinking may inhibit his ability to perform his duties as a husband and a father.\nOther work related activities have hindered Johnny\u2019s execution of duties at home. For instance, he is unable to attend the compound and the lawns since he attends weightlifting sessions with colleagues at work. This has not gone well with his wife who, due to frustration has hired a person to do the job on behalf f Johnny. At this point, Johnny is faced with another ethical dilemma. He has to make a choice between attending weightlifting sessions and attending to the lawns. The importance of his physical fitness cannot be downplayed, given the condition of his work. He must be physically fit so that he can be able to attentively conduct surveillance and make difficult and strenuous arrests. On the other hand, his family duties form a supportive pillar for his work as an officer and cannot be taken lightly. This ethical dilemma can be solved by Johnny through alternation of weightlifting sessions and attendance to lawns at home. This way he may strike a balance between his work and family.\nJohnny\u2019s challenge of management decisions and policies is an ethical issue that can affect the working conditions of all the employees. In many professions, dissatisfaction is bound to happen due to the diversity of people and their preferences (Mills, 2003). However, the dissatisfaction should be ethically addressed to avoid worsening of the situation. Johnny should act ethically by following the right channel to express his grievances. Talking openly in the midst of his colleagues may be deemed as incitement that may lead to legal action and even sacking from work. A new supervisor to this department can avoid such disagreements from being aired openly by creating a forum where queries are professionally addressed in the most open way.\nBackground Cultural Settings",

        "raw_content": "Spider veins appear as fine, branching reddish-blue lines that are very close to the surface of the skin. They are a common sign of aging on the legs and face but do not usually cause noticeable discomfort. Varicose veins frequently develop along the knees, calves, ankles, and feet. They may appear as bulging, ropy lines under the skin. The color of the veins may show through the skin as a greenish-blue or purple. Tingling, aching, itching, and burning are common sensations caused by varicose veins.\nBoth types of unsightly vascular lesions develop when the valves that prevent blood from pooling in the veins fail. Blood accumulates in the vessels making them distended and discolored. There are many causes of spider veins. Trauma to the skin (including sun damage or bruising) and certain medical conditions such as rosacea are sometimes factors. Varicose veins are often associated with pregnancy, weight gain, and sitting or standing for long periods of time.\nSuperficial varicose and spider veins that are near the surface of the skin can generally be addressed by a dermatologist who is skilled in performing the following treatments:\nSclerotherapy \u2013 a surfactant (detergent) is injected into the affected veins. The solution irritates the damaged veins and causes the cell walls to change texture and become fibrous. This closes the blood vessel so blood no longer pools in the vein. The vein itself disintegrates over time and is replaced with other tissues. Read more about sclerotherapy here.\nLaser Therapy \u2013 Ablative lasers cause tiny bubbles of steam to form in the hemoglobin in the vein. This damages the walls of the blood vessels and causes them to close. The type of laser used varies depending on the severity and location of varicose veins and spider veins. Radio frequency ablation (RF) is a therapy that works in a similar way by targeting collagen in the blood vessel walls. It is a newer treatment that is still being evaluated.\nIntense Pulsed Light (IPL) \u2013 This is a less invasive procedure that is sometimes used for treating spider veins on the face. It may reduce the appearance of inflamed blood vessels while evening out skin tone at the same time. Read more about IPL here.\nStill have questions about spider vein treatment?

        "title": "Dark Buzz: No Nobel Prize for mathematicians",
        "raw_content": "No Nobel Prize for mathematicians\nThe NY Times has a profile of a mathematician, so of course it has to explain whether he has won a Nobel Prize and whether he is crazy like all the other mathematicians:\nHe has since won many other prizes, including a MacArthur \u2018\u2018genius\u2019\u2019 grant and the Fields Medal, considered the Nobel Prize for mathematicians. Today, many regard Tao as the finest mathematician of his generation. ...\nPossibly the greatest mathematician since antiquity was Carl Friedrich Gauss, a dour German born in the late 18th century. He did not get along with his own children and kept important results to himself, seeing them as unsuitable for public view. They were discovered among his papers after his death. Before and since, the annals of the field have teemed with variations on this misfit theme, from Isaac Newton, the loner with a savage temper; to John Nash, the \u2018\u2018beautiful mind\u2019\u2019 whose work shaped economics and even political science, but who was racked by paranoid delusions; to, more recently, \u00adGrigory Perelman, the Russian who conquered the Poincar\u00e9 conjecture alone, then refused the Fields Medal, and who also allowed his fingernails to grow until they curled.\nSergiu Klainerman explains that the Fields is nothing like the Nobel at all:\nConcerning the first issue, the differences between the Fields Medal and the Nobel Prize can hardly be exaggerated. Whatever the original intentions, the Fields Medal is given only to young mathematicians below the age of forty. To have a chance at the medal a mathematician must not only make a major contribution early on, he/she must also be lucky enough to have its importance broadly recognized before the arbitrary fortieth mark. This means that, if an area of mathematics is not represented in the composition of the Fields committee at a given International Congress, truly original and important contributions in that area have very little chance.\nIn contrast, the Nobel Prize has no age limits. The role of a Nobel committee (in natural sciences) is, at least in principle, to identify those breakthroughs deemed most important by a broad segment of the scientific community and then decide who are the most deserving contributors to it. In contrast with the Fields Medal, which is given strictly to an individual, independent of whether other people might have contributed important ideas to the cited works, the Nobel Prize can be shared by up to three individuals. Thus, in theory, a Nobel Prize is awarded primarily for supreme achievements, and only secondarily to specific individuals. ...\nIn fact mathematics does not have any prize comparable with the Nobel Prize. The other major prizes \u2014 Abel, Shaw, and Wolf \u2014 don\u2019t have any age limitation but are almost always given to individuals, based on works done throughout their careers, rather than for specific achievements. Even when the prize is shared there is, in most cases, no identifiable connection between the recipients.\nThe Abel Prize is maybe the closest to being a Nobel Prize for Math.\nThere is a wide perception that all the good math is done by young math prodigies. The most famous big math problems of the last 25 years were Fermat's Last Theorem and the Poincare-Thurston conjecture. Both were by mathematicians around age 40, and that is probably the age of highest productivity.\nAjit R. Jadhav July 25, 2015 at 12:00 PM\n... for (roughly) our generation, with the expected life-span being thrown in, and the geniuses being thrown out.\nThe article says, \"But, Tao explained, if he can show mathematically that there is nothing, in principle, preventing such a fiendish contraption from operating, then it would mean that water can, in fact, explode.\" Not true. See http://edge.org/response-detail/11675 Also see www.ptep-online.com/index_files/2015/PP-40-02.PDF There is nothing in principle preventing the NS equations from becoming singular, but this doesn't mean there must exist a counter-example.\nAs an analogy, consider a prison with no guards and no locks. It is still possible that all of the prisoners are still living there even though there is nothing in principle preventing them from leaving.\nQuantum computing compared to Goddard rockets\nWilczek's new book on beauty in nature\nComparing special and general relativity\nCarroll explains many-worlds to philosopher\nLorentz and Einstein had similar realism ideas\nThe 7 competing Solar System models\nWe cannot really smell a trillion odors",

        "title": "Field notes on the Web: Heartbleed, Shellshock and Raymond's Linus's Law",
        "raw_content": "Heartbleed, Shellshock and Raymond's Linus's Law\nYou have probably heard by now that bash, one of the basic tools in the Linux/GNU toolkit, has had a glaring vulnerability for the last, oh, twenty-plus years, now deemed Shellshock. You've probably also heard of the Heartbleed vulnerability in OpenSSL. Apart from making international press and raising serious questions about computer security, these two bugs have a number of features in common:\nThey're implementation bugs. Bash, as defined in its documentation, does not allow the sort of behavior that Shellshock allows, and likewise for SSL (the protocol) and OpenSSL (an implementation of SSL). In both cases, the implementations were doing things they shouldn't have.\nThey're basic implementation bugs. In Shellshock, text which should be ignored or discarded is instead interpreted as a command. In Heartbleed, a reply message which is supposed to have a given length instead has another.\nNo one noticed them for a long time. In the case of shellshock, a very long time. Or at least, no one seems to have visibly exploited them.\nIt's that last item I want to focus on. In his famous essay The Cathedral and the Bazaar, extolling the virtues of open source development, Eric Raymond claimed that \"given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow,\" or in other words, if you had enough people looking at the source code to a system, any serious issues would be flushed out and fixed quickly. He called this principle Linus's Law, in honor of Linux creator Linus Torvalds (Linus didn't come up with it. Linus did put forth his own Linus's Law, but it doesn't seem to have garnered much attention).\nIn any case, despite bash and OpenSSL being two of the most widely used tools in the software world, these basic and serious bugs don't seem to have been flushed out quickly at all. Now, it is possible that multiple people noticed the problems, shrugged and went on with their lives, or that some entity or another discovered the bugs and exploited them very quietly, but that's not how Raymond's Linus's law is supposed to work.\nI think there are two reasons for this.\nFirst, as many have pointed out, there's no convincing evidence that more eyeballs really do mean more bugs found. Rather, it seems that you quickly hit diminishing returns. Four people may or may not find about twice as many bugs as two people, but forty people probably won't find twice as many bugs as twenty. Forty people may not even find twice as many bugs as two.\nExactly why this might be is a good research topic, but I'd guess that a lot of it is because some bugs are easy to find, some aren't, and once you've found the easy bugs throwing more eyeballs at the problem (now there's an image) won't necessarily help find the hard bugs.\nOne of the sobering implications of Shellshock and Heartbleed is that even simple bugs can be hard to find, but that's not news to anyone who's done much coding.\nI think there's a second reason, though, more subtle than the first but worth noting: There probably aren't really that many eyeballs on the source code to begin with.\nIn theory, millions of people could have found either of these two bugs. If you've installed Linux, you have the bash and OpenSSL source code, or if you didn't copy it, you can easily get at it. Odds are you didn't, though, unless you were actively developing one of those packages. Why would you? I use Linux systems all the time. I don't want to study the source code. I just want it to work. I have looked at various parts of the Linux/GNU source, but generally just to see how it worked, not with a particular eye toward finding bugs. Maybe that makes me a bad net.citizen, but if so, I'm pretty sure I'm in good company.\nOK, but there have still been hundreds of contributors to each of those projects. Surely one of them would have seen the problem code and fixed it? Not necessarily. A tool like bash consists of a large number of modules (more or less), and the whole point of breaking things down into modules is that you can work on one without caring (much) about (many of) the others. Someone who worked on job control in bash would not necessarily have even looked at the environment variable parsing, which is where the problem actually was.\nIn other words, there might only have been a handful of people who even had the opportunity to find Shellshock or Heartbleed in the source code, and they didn't happen to spot the problems, probably because they were trying to get something else done at the time.\nThere's another kind of eyeball, though: testers. Even if only a few people were looking closely at the source, lots of people actually use bash, OpenSSL and other open-source tools.\nFair enough, but again, their attention is not necessarily focused where the bugs are. Most people logging into a Linux box and using bash are not going to be defining functions in environment variables. Most script writers aren't either (though git, headed by Linus himself, seems to like to). It's a moderately tricky thing to do. Likewise, almost no one using OpenSSL is even going to be in a position to look at heartbeat packets. Most of us don't even know if we're using OpenSSL or not, though if you've visited an https:// URL, you probably have.\nIn short, Raymond's implicit assumption that bug-finding is a matter of many independent trials, in the statistical sense, evenly distributed over the space of all possible bugs, looks to be wrong on both counts: \"many\" and \"independent\".\n[The current Wikipedia article on Linus's law cites Robert Glass's Facts and Fallacies about Software Engineering, which made similar observations in 2003, over a decade before this was posted. It also no longer seems to mention any version of Linus's law due to Linus himself. That was removed in this edit --D.H. Oct 2018]\nLabels: Eric S.

        "raw_content": "Home\u2192Articles\u2192Is the \u201cDo-Nothing Congress\u201d Responsible for Job Growth?\n\u2190 A Glimpse at the Coming Death Panels in the U.S.A.\nLegitimate and Illegitimate Constitutional Amendments \u2192\nIs the \u201cDo-Nothing Congress\u201d Responsible for Job Growth?\nPresident Obama railing against the \"Do-Nothing\" Congress in December 2011.\nIn recent speeches President Obama has complained about the \u201cDo-Nothing Congress\u201d and stated this as a reason why he should get re-elected. He also has been talking about increased job growth and taking credit for this because it has occurred during his administration. But what if the increased job growth is a result of the Do-Nothing Congress and nothing to do with his administration?\nTwo reasons for job decline in previous years can be directly tied to an activist Congress. First, the housing bubble was created as a result of government intervention in the housing market by guaranteeing loans to unqualified buyers. This encouraged corruption in the mortgage industry because the lenders were protected in the case of loan failures, and they could make more money by creating bad loans. When this housing bubble burst, large unemployment, initially in the construction business, but later in secondary markets was the result. Hence, job decline can be directly tied to a \u201cDo-the-wrong-thing Congress.\u201d\nSecondly, \u201cObamacare\u201d has incentivized corporations to hire fewer people because of the financial uncertainty, and likely increased burden, it places on employers. This creates a higher incentive for employers to work with as few full-time employees as possible, and encourages part-time jobs and contract labor instead. This also was the result of an activist Congress, passing legislation designed by special interests that did not have overwhelming support from the society as a whole.\nThis past session, the gridlock has caused the government to operate a bit more like the founders intended. James Madison wrote about how the system they designed was intended to produce gridlock unless the entire country was solidly behind something. And indeed, the recent law aimed at reducing the insider trading by members of Congress after both Nancy Pelosi and John Boehner were caught doing it and exposed on CBS 60-Minutes was overwhelmingly passed. This occurred when the entire society was overwhelmingly behind it. It shows that the Congress can still act in the public interest when public consciousness is sufficiently raised. This is as the founders intended.\nThus, I would argue that there is a very good possibility that job growth is directly the result of the failure of the last Congress to either pass new spending programs or enact government economic guarantees that would cause more bubbles. Hence, President Obama got it backwards. This \u201cDo-Nothing Congress\u201d turned out to be a better thing than the Congress that it followed. No, this doesn\u2019t mean that there isn\u2019t a lot more corruption that a \u201cDo-Something\u201d Congress couldn\u2019t clean up, but in this case the \u201cDo-Nothing\u201d Congress was basically a sign that special interests didn\u2019t exercise as much control over the Congress, manipulating it to get something for themselves and place more burdens on American economy.\nIs the \u201cDo-Nothing Congress\u201d Responsible for Job Growth? \u2014 1 Comment\nRobert Yee on February 14, 2012 at 12:39 am said:\nDo nothing; do something and do the wrong thing, are catchy descriptions that would apply to how Congress has acted recently. The first description of , do nothing would reflect how little actions have been taken to curtail , too big to fail banking. Next in line, is the legislation on some kind of national health reform as an example of , do something. Finally, the administration experts in foreign policy have taken the State Department down the path of , do the wrong thing. It should be clear to everyone by now, the investment banking and the mortgage lending industries acted unethically for decades while government oversight commissions turned a blind eye to the wrongs. And, the government continues the same risky practice of underwriting or insuring loans. $500 million dollars of Solyndra Energy debt will likely fall on the government as the insurer of their loans; and, ultimately the cost will be shouldered by the US taxpayer. This is a continuation of too big to fail practices by the President. The same kind of government insurance guarantees remain in place for many big banks. Little has been done to stop this kind of policy. Furthermore, the Federal Reserve continues to shore up European banks with $trillions of dollars in loans.\nThere is much heated debate over Res. Obama\u2019s healthcare plans. Intertwined in the healthcare debate is the looming bankruptcy of the Social Security retirement system. Economist have characterized the Social Security plan as a ponzi scheme on the verge of collapse. It seems the government\u2019s solution to the insolvency of social security and the future cost of national healthcare plans is to have the Treasury \u2026 print more money.\nIf there was a lesson to learned from the Iraq War then it would be \u2026 don\u2019t do the wrong thing. But, a majority of voters would say that the invasion and 9 year occupation of Iraq was not in the best interests of the country. The US foreign policy is confused. The security of Europe must be the responsibility of European powers. The US ought not be the primary force behind the security of the Mediterranean Sea. Nonetheless, the US security pact with Israel would remain unchanged. At the same time the US must turn its attention to the security of the Far East.",

        "title": "National Crime Data Shows Marijuana Arrests Dropping, Still Happen More Than Once a Minute",
        "raw_content": "National Crime Data Shows Marijuana Arrests Dropping, Still Happen More Than Once a Minute\nSep 28, 2016 ACLU, American Civil Liberties Union, arrest, CIUS, Crime in the United States, Drug Policy Alliance, FBI, Huffington Post, possession\nThe FBI just released its annual Crime in the United States report, detailing national crime data for 2015. According to the report, marijuana arrests are at a two decade low. This is definitely a good sign, but even one marijuana arrest is too many, and more than one marijuana arrest occurs every minute.\n...authorities in the U.S. made 643,000 arrests for marijuana-related charges in 2015 \u2015 or about one every 49 seconds. Charges related to the drug accounted for 5.9 percent of all arrests, and about 43.2 percent of all drug arrests.\nThe number of marijuana arrests has been generally decreasing since peaking in 2007. That year, police made 872,720 total arrests related to the drug, including 775,137 for possession. Just about 574,000 marijuana-related arrests in 2015 involved possession, and arrests for the sale and manufacture of the drug reached a nearly 25-year low.\nOpponents to legalization often downplay the significance of marijuana arrests, arguing that they don\u2019t lead to severe punishments and that a very small percentage of Americans wind up jailed for low-level marijuana offenses.\nYet a recent report from the Drug Policy Alliance found that getting arrested for marijuana can still significantly affect a person, even though marijuana-related penalties have been scaled back in many places over recent years.\n\u201cA marijuana arrest is no small matter,\u201d reads the report, which also shows that most people arrested for marijuana are held in jail for a day or more. Many are also branded with a permanent criminal record, which can hurt their employment status and access to education and housing.\nAdditionally, a one-year HuffPost analysis of jail deaths found that several inmates arrested on a marijuana offense died behind bars.\nSuch arrests are also costly \u2015 authorities spend approximately $3.6 billion annually enforcing laws against marijuana possession, according to the American Civil Liberties Union.\nWith five states considering initiatives to regulate marijuana like alcohol in November, another three voting on medical marijuana initiatives, and lobbying efforts planned in dozens of states next year, we could start to see those numbers drop even more in the coming years. There is still much work to do.",

        "raw_content": "Your contractor\u2019s license is the most important first step.\nIn California, a contractor was recently ordered to repay over $750,000 when it became evident that the company had operated without being properly licensed in the state of California. In Oregon, a contractor has been barred from seeking over $285,000 in compensation when his license was suspended during the course of a contract. Don\u2019t let this happen to your contracting business! OnlineEd will tell you what the risks are, and what you can do to mitigate them.\nIn a 2012 court decision, a California constructing contractor was ordered to repay the entire $750,000 contract earned while performing work while unlicensed. The sole proprietor was contracted to construct a temporary access road and parking lot for a casino. After submitting a bid in March 2007, the contracting company finished its work and was paid in full around May. However, an application for a license was submitted while work was ongoing, and the contracting company first received its contractor\u2019s license in October 2007. The court subsequently ruled that the company be required to refund all of the money paid by the client upon completion of the contract.\nWhile harsh, this action is consistent with California courts\u2019 previous decisions that contractors should be held liable for their licensure to the point of being denied payment or being required to refund payment already received.\nSimilar legislation is in place in Oregon, and can be seen in another 2012 court decision which upheld a ruling barring a contractor from commencing action seeking compensation earned while operating without being properly licensed. While constructing a residence, the contractor\u2019s license to perform construction work was suspended for two weeks because of expired liability insurance. Because of this suspension, the court held that the contractor was unable to seek compensation allegedly owed to him through legal means, losing out on an amount over $280,000.\nThese worst-case scenarios are cautionary tales, but they should not be ignored. Licensure costs time and money to obtain, but the alternative is far more expensive. Making sure that your contracting business is properly licensed throughout the entire process \u2013 from bid to completion \u2013 will protect your business from substantial losses. OnlineEd.com can help with your Oregon contractor needs here.\nOnce you have obtained or renewed your license, make sure you fulfill all of the continuing requirements to avoid a suspension. The CCB lists some common mistakes and oversights that can cause your license to be suspended:\nExpired liability insurance.\nCancellation of your bond.\nHiring employees while in an \u201cexempt\u201d employer status\nDeletion of RMI (Responsible Managing Individual) form due to disassociation or death.\nLicense or renewal fees returned as \u201cinsufficient\u201d or other non-payment issues.\nMaintaining a non-exempt status with no workers\u2019 compensation.\nFailure to maintain your corporate or LLC (Limited Liability Company) filing.\nMake the most of your business; ensure you are properly licensed and continue to double-check your license frequently.

        "raw_content": "Real Estate Roundup: Big Annual Inventory Declines in Bay Area\nBAY AREA ANNUAL HOME INVENTORY DECREASES AMONG LARGEST IN U.S.\nA lack of available properties for sale remains a problem for beleaguered Bay Area home shoppers, with our two largest regions posting some of the largest annual inventory declines in the U.S.\nAccording to recent statistics from the National Association of Realtors, the number of homes listed for sale in the San Jose metropolitan area declined 36.2 percent year over year in September, the second largest decrease in the country. San Francisco saw a 23.4 percent decline in listings during that same time period, No. 7 in the country.\nInventory constraints in both regions are helping to keep home prices high. NAR\u2019s data says that San Francisco had the highest median list price in the country in September \u2014 $949,000. San Jose had the third largest median list price of $718,000.\nATHERTON ONCE AGAIN NATION\u2019S PRICIEST ZIP CODE\nFor the second consecutive year, Atherton\u2019s 94027 ZIP code has been deemed the country\u2019s most expensive by Forbes magazine.\nHomes in the San Mateo County town had a median list price of just more than $9 million according to the publication, about $2.5 million more than the second-place finisher. Forbes says there were 24 Atherton homes for sale at the time the list was published and that properties took an average of 111 days to sell.\nAtherton was the only Bay Area community to finish in the upper part of Forbes\u2019 list, unlike last year. In 2013, Los Altos Hills, Belvedere, and Portola Valley ZIP codes also ranked among the country\u2019s 10 priciest.\nRARE NAPA HOME GETS MAKEOVER, CULTURAL LANDMARK STATUS\nA Napa home designed by a Bay Area architect who completed just 10 projects in his lifetime has been fully renovated by its owners, becoming the first post-World War II residence in the city to be named a cultural landmark.\nThe Wall Street Journal has the story of Christiane Robbins and Katherine Lambert \u2013 both architects themselves \u2013 and the 1953 Napa home that they purchased in 2011 for $588,000. Designed by late architect Jack Hillmer, the home was in complete disrepair at the time its future owners first set eyes on it.\nInitially wary that the home could be restored to its past glory without breaking the bank, the pair became convinced it was possible after consulting with a wood-restoration specialist who had worked on another Hillmer home. Using the same four original materials that Hillmer specified \u2013 redwood, concrete, glass, and stainless steel \u2013 workers were able to reinvent the home while still retaining the original woodwork details and structure.\nCALIFORNIA MILLENNIALS PLANNING TO GET IN THE HOMEBUYING GAME\nA new survey from the California Association of Realtors found that, although Millennials are concerned about the state\u2019s high home prices and affordability, most of them plan to make a purchase within the next five years.\nCAR\u2019s poll found that 58 percent of Millennial respondents expect to purchase a home within the coming five years. Fifty-four percent of those surveyed rated homeownership as being very important, which CAR President Kevin Brown said is good news for the state\u2019s housing market.\n\u201cWhat\u2019s encouraging is that while many saw their parents or friends struggle through the housing crisis, the majority haven\u2019t changed their attitude toward homeownership,\u201d Brown said. \u201cYoung buyers may have to delay their home purchase, but they eventually hope to own their own home.\u201d\n(Photo: Flickr/American Advisors Group)\nCategoriesLatest News TagsAtherton, California Association of Realtors, Forbes, Jack Hillmer, napa, National Association of Realtors, San Francisco, San Jose, San Mateo County, The Wall Street Journal\nPrevious PostPrevious Beware: Home-Insurance Premiums Double on Second Claim\nNext PostNext Pacific Union Moves Up List of Bay Area\u2019s Fastest-Growing Companies",

        "title": "Acute Appendicitis: Surgery vs. Conservative Antibiotic Approach",
        "raw_content": "There is a new risk and safety issue in the world of appendicitis. In this issue of TSG Quarterly, we explore the issue of conservative, antibiotic-first management of acute appendicitis with appendectomy reserved for treatment failures. Is it the new standard? Have you proactively addressed this issue with your emergency medicine and surgical practitioners? It is important to get out in front of this issue to keep our patients safe!\nDownload this case as a PDF here.\nConsider the following fact pattern:\nA 40-year-old woman presents to the emergency department at midnight with an acute onset of right lower quadrant pain for 8 hours associated with vomiting. The emergency physician considers the possibility of acute appendicitis in her differential; she orders the appropriate blood tests and performs a bedside ultrasound. The patient\u2019s white count is 28,000, and the bedside ultrasound clearly demonstrates the presence of acute appendicitis. CT was ordered, and there is no apparent evidence of perforation or other complicating factor. The patient is resting comfortably after 2 mgs of Morphine. Re-examination reveals mild RLQ discomfort, and there has been no further vomiting in the ED.\nThe emergency physician receives a surgical referral from the patient\u2019s primary physician. The emergency physician calls the surgeon, who recommends admission with conservative treatment, including NPO and intravenous antibiotics. It is clear that the surgeon has no intention of seeing the patient until rounds the following day and no plan to take the patient to the OR.\nThe emergency physician believes that this patient should go directly to the OR or that the patient will require surgery within a reasonable time period; she is concerned that this is not the surgeon\u2019s plan.\nIs this surgeon\u2019s approach consistent with the current state of the literature? Is this management approach a violation of the standard of care? Is there a role for conservative, non-operative management in patients with a diagnosis of acute uncomplicated appendicitis?\nFrom a risk, safety and legal perspective, there is a new and critically important consideration in patients presenting with appendicitis. Much of our work related to appendicitis over the years has focused on the failure to diagnose appendicitis. But what happens after the diagnosis of appendicitis has been made? In the recent past, there was only one alternative - surgery. Has the management of appendicitis changed?\nThe relevant literature today reveals a fascinating debate over the appropriate initial management of the patient with a diagnosis of uncomplicated appendicitis. Appendectomy first versus antibiotics first.\nResearchers have been focused on identifying whether there is a role for a non-operative approach in some patients with appendicitis. What follows is a brief summary of the current state of the art and some risk and safety recommendations for physician practice and your organization\u2019s approach to appendicitis patients.\nThe key risk and patient safety issue is that surgeons may make recommendations on conservative management that may not be consistent with the latest evidence. This may put the patient, emergency physician, surgeon and the organization at risk. In addition, the failure to take an organizational team approach on this issue may result in controversy and inappropriate delays in management.\nReview of the current literature and specialty guidelines indicates that a surgical approach remains the treatment recommendation for most patients with uncomplicated acute appendicitis. However, research efforts over the past several years attempting to determine whether the use of antibiotics instead of surgery is appropriate for treating patients with uncomplicated acute appendicitis is, to say the least, provocative.\nThus, the surgeon suggesting admission for conservative management does so with some basis in the literature, but this management is not in line with the current recommendations of the national and international surgical societies. This is currently a grey area, and more research is needed for surgical specialty societies to consider a change to their current recommendations. Specialty society recommendations do not establish the standard of care, but they certainly carry a great deal of weight in establishing the standard in legal proceedings. These societies continue to evaluate the literature looking for solid research prior to modifying their recommendations regarding non-operative management of appendicitis.\nA recent publication (JAMA, 2015; 313:2340) presents what is currently the largest multicenter, open-label, non-inferiority randomized controlled trial of antibiotic treatment for appendicitis. That is, the authors attempted to prove that conservative management was NOT inferior to appendectomy. The authors assumed that there would be significant benefits from avoiding surgery and that a 24% failure rate in the antibiotic group would be acceptable. Instead they found a failure rate of 27.4% and were not able to establish the non-inferiority of antibiotic treatment for appendicitis according to their research design. Thus, the study design would speak against conservative management with antibiotics.\nHowever, the authors did note that although they did not reach their goal of establishing the non-inferiority of antibiotic treatment relative to appendectomy, they did find that 186 of 256 patients with uncomplicated appendicitis were successfully treated with antibiotic therapy alone. This study certainly leaves the door open to further analysis of this subject area. Additional carefully controlled trials may demonstrate benefits for certain subgroups of patients with uncomplicated appendicitis.\nThere is a review of the state of the art in a recent NEJM article (N Engl J Med, 2015; 372:1937-43) entitled Acute Appendicitis \u2013 Appendectomy or the \u201cAntibiotics First\u201d Strategy. The author points out that there is \u201ca major uncertainty in the management of appendicitis\u2026whether an appendectomy is needed or whether antibiotics alone, with an appendectomy performed only if the appendicitis does not resolve\u2026is a reasonable alternative.\u201d\nThe review basically reveals that this is one of those fascinating areas in medicine where new management strategies appear to be effective, but the research protocols have been all over the map in terms of methodology. Although many patients appear to do well with an antibiotics-first approach, the evidence does not provide sufficient clarity to endorse a change in initial management. Together with the continuing appendectomy-first recommendations of the three relevant specialty organizations, the author concludes by recommending an appendectomy-first approach in the U.S.\nYet the author notes: \u201cHowever, experience in Europe suggests that an antibiotics-first strategy is an alternative that warrants consideration, particularly in a patient who has had prior surgical complications\u2026\u201d\nThe author encourages patients and practitioners who want to use the antibiotic-first approach to do so within clinical trials, and physicians employing an antibiotic-first approach should include their experiences in a patient registry.\nThe American College of Surgeons, the Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract, and the World Society of Emergency Surgery all describe appendectomy (either laparoscopic or open) as the treatment of choice for appendicitis.\nThe American College of Surgeons currently recommends laparoscopic or open appendectomy as the options available for acute appendicitis www.facs.org/education/patient-education/patient-resources/operation. The ACS patient information guide indicates that antibiotics first may\nbe effective, but there is a higher chance of reoccurrence.\nThe Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract recommends: \u201cExpeditious surgical removal of the appendix is the preferred treatment.\u201d The Society further states that \u201cNon-operative management of uncomplicated appendicitis has been reported but this is not a widely accepted treatment and in some patients has led to recurrent appendicitis.\u201d http://ssat.com/guidelines/Appendicitis.cgi.\nThe 2013 World Society of Emergency Surgery states that \u201cthis conservative approach features high rates of recurrence and is therefore inferior to the traditional appendectomy...Non-operative antibiotic treatment may be used as an alternative treatment for specific patients for whom surgery is contraindicated.\u201d\nThe apparent current consensus is that careful analysis of the literature has not yet identified a subset of patients that can be managed with admission and antibiotic therapy.\nAppendectomy is generally safe with a low morbidity and very low mortality.\nPre-op CT may not exclude the possibility of complicated appendicitis.\nPatients treated non-operatively are at risk for progression of symptoms and developing complicated appendicitis.\nThose treated non-operatively have an appreciable rate of recurrent appendicitis (15% to 25%).\nIn some circumstances, there may be compelling reasons to offer non-operative management, such as patients with a prior history of surgical complications or patients refusing surgery. A conservative approach may be offered in these cases as an alternative to immediate surgery.\nHow should organizations and emergency, medical and surgical practitioners deal with this issue? Be proactive. This is not a subject that should first arise at midnight when a 40-year-old woman presents with acute appendicitis. The hospital, emergency physicians and surgeons should continue to evaluate the literature and specialty society recommendations and come up with a plan for patients with uncomplicated appendicitis. Based on the current analysis, it appears that the plan should be surgery in some reasonable time frame. But this is not an exact science, and the surgeons may reasonably suggest that certain patient subgroups be managed conservatively, at least initially.\nAppendectomy (laparoscopic or open) has been the management of choice for acute appendicitis for decades.\nRecent research, particularly in European countries, has provided a basis for consideration of initial conservative management of uncomplicated acute appendicitis with antibiotics followed by appendectomy for treatment failure.\nState-of-the-art publications addressing antibiotics-first management indicate that current research does not support a high-level recommendation to alter the current management recommendation of appendectomy-first, at least in the United States.\nThe three relevant surgical specialty societies continue to recommend appendectomy-first management, but recognize that antibiotics-first management may be a consideration in certain patients.\nEmergency physicians, surgeons and hospital organizations should proactively review the literature and develop an organizational approach to patients presenting with acute appendicitis.\nAmerican College of Surgeons.

I think I\u2019ll remember to do this more because the other day I horrified myself when I witnessed my disembodied hand subconsciously reaching to turn the volume up to listen to a well-known, polarizing, and certain orange-tinted demagogue.\nAt least I caught myself just in time.\nYup, need to take a break from the news.\nIn such a listening mode, a This American Life episode #573: Status Update caught my attention.

It\u2019s not so much jealousy or envy: those connote a \u201cme too and not them\u201d idea.\nIt\u2019s just: this time in life I\u2019m coming to terms with where things have landed.\nOne of the markers in the new-ish evaluation system is an indication of \u2018student status.\u2019\nTeacher and students demonstrate appropriate teacher-student and student-student relationships that foster students\u2019 well-being and adapt to meet individual circumstances. Patterns of interaction between teacher and students and among students indicate that all are valued for their contributions. Teacher creates opportunities for students\u2019 status to be elevated.\nHere is one thing that\u2019s not mentioned, but has an impact: students are constantly comparing themselves to one another, and are on the look-out for others\u2019 status in terms of diminishing their own. Even a few weeks ago a student said something to the effect, \u201cOh {blank} is your favorite and you will do what {blank} thinks is a good idea.\u201d There was some truth to that: \u201cBlank\u201d is incredibly precocious and creative. It\u2019s difficult not to respond to his ideas and momentum. We all look at those with that \u201cit\u201d factor and unfairly compare ourselves.\nSo how do we elevate the status of each? Not so much a special snowflake disparage, but in terms of how do we recognize that our paths are our own?\nOne thing that\u2019s disappointed me this year is how many students simply will not share their knowledge or questions. I know there\u2019s lots of tricks and tips to get them to create accountable talk \u2014 a term that makes me bristle (and I\u2019m not sure why)\u2013perhaps because it sounds so bean-counter-ish. Perhaps it\u2019s time to have students determine and reflect on their own status and check their personal biases.\nAny suggestions or media that would suit this purpose? I\u2019d love to hear from you.\nPrevious Spent.\nNext Graveyard of Jargon",

        "raw_content": "Planning a successful birthday party never comes easy. Given below are a few tips that are sure to help you plan the best birthday party for kids:\nWork out the menu\nBefore anything else, it is extremely important for you to determine the menu. For this, it is highly recommended for you to ask parents of the kids invited to advise if their children have any allergies as such. This is going to have an impact over the menu that you set for the party. If you take on the services of kids party planners in Abu Dhabi, you will have to inform them about this too so they can set the menu accordingly. Considering that it is a party for children, it is best for you to avoid food items that include peanut butter, nuts and dairy products in case there are children who are lactose intolerant. It is best for you to stick to hamburgers or hotdogs in this case.\nThe birthday party you are about to throw will never be successful unless you plan it out in detail. It is necessary for you plan out every single aspect of the party in as much detail as possible. From the theme, to the food and even the games and toddler activities in Abu Dhabi that you wish to make a part of the festivities, it is vital for everything to be planned ahead of time. If you think all of this is too much for you to handle, then it is highly recommended for you to take on the services of an event planner.\nDecide the date and venue\nPlanning things in advance deems it necessary for you to determine the date and venue for the birthday party. You need to figure out whether you wish to throw the party at home or whether you want to book a venue. For this, you will also have to determine the number of children invited to the party. If you want to book a separate venue, then decide the date and make sure that the venue is booked well in advance. Remember, last minute bookings are not recommended at all. This is because you would face a lot of issues if the venue that you are interested in is already booked for the date you have decided.\nSend out invitations as early as possible\nTo make sure that all the kids invited for the party can actually attend it, it is highly recommended for you to send out the invitation cards as early as possible.",

It is connected with a neutron star, but the size does not allow scientists to understand its nature.\nOuter space is full of unusual signals and sources of radiation, the nature of which is still not clear astrophysicists. Example \u2013 the so-called fast radio bursts (Fast Radio Bursts \u2013 FRB), the powerful millisecond flares of radio emission occurring at several thousand times a day, but still remaining a mystery.\nNow astronomers have discovered a strange new source, this time in infrared (heat) range of the electromagnetic radiation.He discovered by scientists using the Hubble space telescope in the vicinity of the neutron star located in the relative vicinity of the Sun, about 800 light-years. Strange radiation was discovered by group of researchers under the leadership of the University of Pennsylvania (USA) in collaboration with Turkish scientists. The study of the radiation source will help to better understand the evolution of neutron stars \u2013 extremely dense objects that remain in place of supernova explosions.\n\u201cThis particular neutron star belongs to the group of seven nearby x-ray pulsars, the so \u2013 called Magnificent seven (astronomers believe that the young single neutron star with strong magnetic field) that are hotter than would have to be, given their age and the energy generated by braking,\u201d explained Bettina Posselt, Professor of astronomy at the University of Pennsylvania, the author of the article in The Astrophysical Journal. \u2013 We found a wide area of infrared radiation around this neutron star RX J0806.4-4123, the length of which is about 200 astronomical units (2.5 distance from the Sun to Pluto) from a pulsar\u201d.\nAstronomers first discovered a neutron star that is associated with such an extended source of radiation, and only in the infrared range.\nBased on previous observations, astronomers believe they see a much more intense infrared radiation than can come from this neutron star.\nSong Eminem broke the record on YouTube.

The post is focused on my own letter - written on behalf of my father, who turned 75 this month.\"\nThe copyright status of \"Happy Birthday To You\" and the law related to public performances of copyrighted works have recently been brought to my attention. I would therefore like to request permission in advance to sing \"Happy Birthday\" to my father at Frenchy's Original Cafe in Clearwater, Florida, on October 8, at approximately 1 pm.\nMy father will be turning 75 on this day and will probably be ordering the Seafood Gumbo and Fried Grouper. The rest of the party will include Charles Star, my brothers Peter and Paul, their spouses Karla and Cindee, and my mother Lynn. Five of us will be singing while my brothers merely mouth the words and smile. We expect there to be approximately 50 disinterested witnesses.\nI realize this is short notice but we only recently settled the details. If there is a charge for the privilege of singing in this instance, please let me know. And, if there is, please specify whether or not the cost can be reduced by moving to another location.\n(Thanks, Carrie!)",

It took cinematic risks that didn\u2019t translate well with audiences and was seen as a failed effort of appropriately putting Bruce Banner on the big screen.\nThe reboot in The Incredible Hulk was a concerted effort by the Marvel team and Paramount to include the character in the MCU, yet much of the film didn\u2019t explore that inclusion with much of the Easter Egg cameos and references that later films were infamous for. The only pay off for the MCU was a post-credits scene where Tony Stark appears. There, he offers General Ross an opportunity for Bruce Banner to be part of a team that is being put together. With that little inclusion, the Hulk becomes part of the MCU. However, Edward Norton doesn\u2019t reprise his role after the film, and Mark Ruffalo eventually takes on the role in The Avengers.\nAlthough being part of the MCU, critics and audiences saw this more as a CGI monster beat-em-up rather than something that establishes a world with rich characters and a deeper developing plot. In fact, without much of the movie, audiences could\u2019ve gone into watching The Avengers without ever having watched any of the Hulk films, and known exactly who Bruce Banner was and what he was capable of.",

        "raw_content": "Experts say Trump's Russia policy is at odds with itself\nYahoo News photo-illustration; photos: AP, Getty Images\nWASHINGTON \u2014 In the middle of February, U.S. airstrikes killed some 200 Russians who were fighting in Syria alongside troops loyal to dictator Bashar Assad. Russia sees the United States as its primary geopolitical foe, but the development made little news there, according to Russian journalist Yulia Latynina, because Russia had been \u201chumiliated.\u201d\n\u201cPutin doesn\u2019t want a real war,\u201d Latynina concluded. \u201cWhat he wants is a PR war.\u201d She made the comments at a Friday morning hearing of the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe, better known as the Helsinki Commission, named for the agreement signed in the Finnish capital in 1975. Composed of nine U.S. senators and nine U.S. representatives, as well as three members of the executive branch, the Helsinki Commission monitors human rights and security matters across Europe. It is currently chaired by Sen. Roger Wicker, a Mississippi Republican.\nTitled \u201cReality vs. Rhetoric: Assessing the Trump Administration\u2019s Russia Policy,\u201d Friday\u2019s hearing sought to separate the Trump administration\u2019s policy on Russia from reactions to that policy by politicians and the media.\nBut as one of the panelists who testified before the commission argued, it is Trump himself who most frequently obfuscates his administration\u2019s policy toward the Kremlin by making pronouncements \u2014 on Twitter in particular \u2014 that contradict the findings and actions of the U.S. intelligence community and diplomatic corps. That panelist, Alina Polyakova, a Brookings Institution scholar, argued that the Trump administration had actually taken unprecedented measures against Russia. She cited 26 \u201cdistinct policy actions\u201d since 2017, when Trump entered the White House, with 205 new sanctions levied and what she called the largest expulsion of Russian diplomats in American history.\n\u201cThis is significant,\u201d she said, arguing that if Hillary Clinton were president, she would have likely taken similar actions. For all the talk of the Trump presidential campaign\u2019s collusion with Russia, the White House has resorted to what she deemed \u201ca very traditional deterrence strategy.\u201d\nYou wouldn\u2019t know this, Polyakova pointed out, if you listened to Trump, who has expressed an uncommon admiration for Putin. She described a surreal juxtaposition that took place in the previous week: Trump suggested, seemingly unprompted, that Russia should we welcomed back into the G-7 group of the world\u2019s leading economies. On the same day, however, Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats branded Russia a global menace in a speech delivered in Normandy, France.\nRussian President Vladimir Putin and President Trump talk during the APEC summit in Danang, Vietnam, on Nov. 11, 2017. (Photo: Jorge Silva/pool photo via AP)\nIn large part, the three panelists at Friday\u2019s hearing all advocated for a doubling down on the current approach of imposing sanctions on individuals and expelling diplomats, with a greater awareness of Russia\u2019s desire to wage asymmetric warfare on the internet. Latynina was alone in advocating a great show of military might, the kind of display that would intimidate Putin but not lead to war.\n\u201cEuropean allies don\u2019t understand who to listen to in this administration,\u201d Polyakova added.\n\u201cConfusing signals have been sent,\u201d said Herman Pirchner Jr., president of the American Foreign Policy Council, who added that European allies are concerned that \u201cTrump won\u2019t hold the hard line\u201d with Putin.\nThe panelists appeared to agree that among the best measures the U.S. could employ against Putin was to levy tougher sanctions on Russian oligarchs, the class of billionaires who form a kind of buffer between the Kremlin and the rest of Russia, protecting Putin from public discontent (and electoral vulnerability). \u201cThere\u2019s a lot more that Congress can do,\u201d Polyakova said, calling the round of sanctions levied by the Treasury Department earlier this year a \u201cjoke\u201d because they appeared to be based almost entirely on a list of wealthy Russians culled from Forbes magazine. The treasury secretary is Steven Mnuchin, who served as Trump\u2019s campaign chair and is generally seen as unwilling to take measures or make statements that could displease the president.\nFiguring out what exactly Trump wants is one of the challenges in dealing with Russia. In his testimony, Pirchner relayed an anecdote from the film \u201cPatton,\u201d about Gen. George Patton, the legendary World War II commander. A subordinate informs Patton that \u201csometimes the men don\u2019t know when you\u2019re acting.\u201d\nPatton dismisses the concern. \u201cIt\u2019s not important for them to know. It\u2019s only important for me to know.\u201d\nPirchner seemed to be suggesting that the world may not know whether Trump\u2019s overtures to Putin are genuine \u2014 or whether Pentagon and State Department statements reflect America\u2019s policy toward Russia. Nor is there much time to find out: Polyakova warns that Russia has \u201cplanted cyberbombs on our critical infrastructure systems.\u201d And there is consensus in the intelligence community that Russia will meddle in the 2018 midterm elections, just as it did two years ago. That success could have only emboldened the Kremlin.\n\u201cPutin is the kind of guy,\u201d Pirchner warned, \u201cwhose appetite is increased by the eating.\u201d\nTrump says Kim \u2018loves his people.\u2019 Human rights groups beg to differ.\n\u2018Sleep well tonight!\u2019: Trump says North Korea is no longer a nuclear threat\nTrump clashes with reporters over false claim about separating children\nTrump says he\u2019s \u2018prepared to start a new history\u2019 with Kim\nAs North Korea danger recedes ever so slightly, renewed Russian threat looms",

Rafael Suanes-USA TODAY Sports\nIt matched his best score of the year, a four-under 66 in the opening round of the Greenbrier Classic earlier this month, but was the lowest with regard to par during his 2015 campaign.\nWoods, the tournament host, birdied six of his last 13 holes to rocket into contention with an eight-under total of 134, his final birdie of the day coming at the par-five eighth where he drained a 35-footer before celebrating in roundhouse style.\n\u201cI feel like I can still compete, I feel like I can still win,\u201d the former world number one told reporters after mixing six birdies with a lone bogey at the par-five 14th, his fifth hole of the day, to finish one stroke off the early lead.\n\u201cA year-and-a-half ago, I won five times ... so it\u2019s not that long ago that I was player of the year.

You\u2019ve just got to be patient with it.\u201d\nAsked how it felt being back in contention heading into the weekend, Woods replied: \u201cI\u2019m in a good spot.

If that\u2019s the case, then we have to reassess the situation,\u201d he said.\nAn Australian doctor who is part of the rescue mission checked the health of the boys on Saturday night and gave the all-clear for the operation to proceed.\nThe boys were discovered by British divers Richard Stanton and John Volanthen on Monday.\nOf the 13-strong foreign dive team \u2013 mainly from Europe \u2013 three were escorting the children, while the remainder were positioned along the dangerous first kilometer stretch, where the boys will have to navigate through submerged passageways in some places no more than two feet (0.6 meter) wide.\nIf you\u2019re wondering how the doctor was able to get to the team to check on them, the issue throughout has been training the boys to perform this dive. Experienced divers can execute the dive that gets them inside the cave to the boys \u2013 if they\u2019re diving alone \u2013 but bringing the boys out is a much riskier operation because none of the boys can even swim, let alone have experience diving in long, narrow stretches of water in which there are no air pockets.\nGetting them ready for such a dive, which is being executed as a \u201cbuddy dive\u201d in which each boy is hooked to an experienced diver, has been the most challenging thing about the preparation for this rescue. The fact that six of them have made it out is astonishing, and while I know they\u2019ve all worked hard, you can\u2019t tell me God\u2019s hand isn\u2019t in this.\nKeep praying for the boys who are still in the cave, and for their coach, because the early developments are encouraging but this is not over yet.",

        "title": "The 30 Day Gratefulness Challenge \u2013 Candice J. M. Irwin",
        "raw_content": "The 30 Day Gratefulness Challenge\nSo I\u2019m the kind of person that loves to be busy. When my calendar looks like a rainbow has spewed its beautiful colours across the pages I am a happy camper. Because the only thing that I love more than being busy is being organized. Checklists? Built in reminders? Due dates? Sign me up! January though, has not been quite as busy as I had hopped.\nAnd here is what I realized: without a busy schedule my ability to organize becomes negligent to say the least. When there are huge gaps of time all over my week that 10am workout suddenly gets pushed to 1opm and then to the next day until suddenly it disappears. Now this would all be fine and dandy if I was the kind of person that felt complete laying on the couch all day, but the reality is I don\u2019t.\nYesterday while I was wasting time on my computer I ended up watching a TED talk by Shawn Achor where he spoke about how we always think that to be happy we must first be successful, yet our brain is actually programmed to work the other way around. To be successful, we must at first be happy. Now I\u2019m not saying that I am by any means unhappy, more just in need of a change, but his talk kind of kickstarted a desire in me to make my life a little more well rounded.\nOne of the tools Achor briefly mentioned was the 21 day gratefulness challenge where for 3 weeks every day you name three things you are grateful for or that make you happy. This challenge isn\u2019t something I\u2019m unfamiliar with, I actually did it quite successfully a few years back. It got me thinking though, instead of focusing on the fact that I have so much free time on my hands, why not focus on all the awesome things I can fill that time with. Why not celebrate that I am in a position where I can devote hours of my day to whatever truly makes me happy (and I guarantee that isn\u2019t watching Modern Family episodes until 2 in the morning).\nBut I decided to up the anti a little bit this time. I am challenging myself to find three things each day for an entire month that directly relate to my plan for that day. Instead of just waking up every morning thinking of three things and sitting back down on the couch I want the things I am thankful for to inspire me to be more active. Furthermore, by sharing these things with the world wide web, it gives me a sense of responsibility to follow through. Plus it will make me actually use this blog instead of letting it sit here collecting virtual dust.\nSo here goes! Tomorrow morning: Day 1 of being Grateful. But in anticipation, I leave you with a freebie: I am grateful for the ability and means to take control of my future by making changes in myself.\nPosted in 30 Day Gratefulness Challenge\tTagged change, happy, Shawn Achor, TED talks\n\u2190 Why Blogs Scare Me\n30 thoughts on \u201cThe 30 Day Gratefulness Challenge\u201d\n[\u2026] \u2190 The 30 Day Gratefulness Challenge [\u2026]\n[\u2026] grateful for actually helped make the frustrations a little easier to deal with. Hence day 2 of my Gratefulness Challenge has naturally themed itself \u201chow to get through the not-so-great [\u2026]\nWhat a wonderful idea! I look forward to reading about your journey.\n[\u2026] is starting to feel easier! Maybe I\u2019m just in the honeymoon stage of my relationship with my Gratefulness Challenge, but I feel like already I am looking at things just a little differently. It was hard to pick only [\u2026]\n[\u2026] worry, I won\u2019t take personally. And now back to your regular scheduled programming. The gratefulness challenge [\u2026]\n[\u2026] opportunities beginning to present themselves and lots of things to be grateful for! Today\u2019s gratefulness challenge list seems to have somehow themed itself the \u201cbusy dance artist\u201d list. I guess it is [\u2026]\n[\u2026] I felt a little ADD with today\u2019s post. I kept picking three things, beginning to write and then changing my mind and starting again. I kept asking myself \u201cIs that really something I\u2019m GRATEFUL for?\u201d Because there are tons of things I like or that make me happy or that are important to me, but that doesn\u2019t necessarily mean I am grateful for them. Hmmmm I think there\u2019s a larger question in that statement to do with priorities\u2026 I\u2019ll save that thought for another post on another day. Onwards with the Gratefulness Challenge! [\u2026]\n[\u2026] Already one week in to the Gratefulness Challenge! How time flies when you\u2019re having fun blogging (never thought I\u2019d say THAT). I just [\u2026]\n[\u2026] heart. These interactions were the inspiration for the 3 things I chose to write about today for my Gratefulness Challenge. There is no better inspiration for anything in life than the people you care about the [\u2026]\n[\u2026] today\u2019s Gratefulness Challenge post is going to be short and sweet. Not because I\u2019m any less grateful than usual. Sometimes [\u2026]\n[\u2026] woke up all sniffly and decided that a day of rest was much more important. Therefore today\u2019s Gratefulness Challenge entry has become about taking care of the most important person I have in my life: [\u2026]\n[\u2026] the house after hiding away for 24 hours. Also caused the things I chose to talk about today for my Gratefulness Challenge to be more related to the outside world and how I choose to interact with it than yesterday, which [\u2026]\n[\u2026] much a dancers dream day. Therefore lots of inspiration for things to write about in today\u2019s Gratefulness Challenge post came from travelling to new places and meeting new [\u2026]\n[\u2026] I had today\u2019s Gratefulness Challenge post half written yesterday. Then I attended a workshop in the afternoon with Canadian dance icon [\u2026]\n[\u2026] have officially made it to the half way point of my Gratefulness Challenge! I have spoken about so many things over the past fifteen days and there is still so much left to [\u2026]\n[\u2026] Gratefulness Challenge post makes my Saturday sound a lot calmer than it actually was. Perhaps I should go to yoga before [\u2026]\n[\u2026] started to swell with too many things to do. Its hard to fit it all in. Therefore today\u2019s Gratefulness Challenge post has naturally themed itself \u201cHow to get it all [\u2026]\n[\u2026] sure how all that fits into one day, but it did! Makes me even more excited to continue posting my Gratefulness Challenge over the rest of the [\u2026]\n[\u2026] there. This Wednesday is even more momentous because today I am almost 2/3 of the way through my Gratefulness Challenge! I\u2019m extra excited about tomorrow\u2019s milestone because I have yet to loose steam or [\u2026]\n[\u2026] half way through the dreariest month of the year. I am also officially 2/3 of the way through my Gratefulness Challenge. Lots of reasons to celebrate and be [\u2026]\n[\u2026] week is full of Gratefulness Challenge milestones. Three weeks have come and gone! I think it might be time to start counting down the [\u2026]\n[\u2026] Gratefulness Challenge post seems to have taken a more serious and introspective tone than yesterday\u2019s. Maybe [\u2026]\nGratefulness Challenges Days 23 and 24 | Being Myself says:\n[\u2026] oh my! I can\u2019t believe that I missed a day of my Gratefulness Challenge! Sometimes the day takes a turn that you just weren\u2019t planning and there isn\u2019t a whole [\u2026]\n[\u2026] five days to go on my Gratefulness Challenge! Luckily my worry of running out of things to be grateful for by day 25 didn\u2019t come true. [\u2026]\n[\u2026] Gratefulness Challenge is soon coming to an end. It has been a big commitment this month to find time daily to write these [\u2026]\n[\u2026] right before jumping into the deep end. Thank goodness the first thing I wrote about during the Gratefulness Challenge was my appreciation for change because it feels like there is a lot of it coming my way. With this [\u2026]\n[\u2026] weeks of being grateful! What a journey! Only two more days until my Gratefulness Challenge is complete. Crazy how you blink and a month goes [\u2026]\n[\u2026] to last day of my Gratefulness Challenge! Still so many things to talk about. How can I possibly choose? I sense a list of undiscussed items [\u2026]\n[\u2026] so it all comes to an end! 30 days of gratefulness complete! I\u2019m somewhat sad to see it go. Getting to spend a few hours every day writing about [\u2026]\n[\u2026] they all are; the 90 things I have highlighted during my 30 day gratefulness challenge. There is still an even longer list of things I didn\u2019t get a chance to talk about. Still [\u2026]",

        "title": "Intimate Partner Violence: Interventions - UMN CEHD",
        "raw_content": "Intimate Partner Violence: New Research Leads to Better Interventions\nLynette M. Renner, MSW, Ph.D.\nby Lynette M. Renner, MSW, Ph.D.\nEarly Child Development Family Social Science Health & Resilience Social Work\nI first became interested in researching family violence while pursuing my Master of Social Work degree at the University of Kentucky. I was taking classes that focused on practice with children and adolescents, while also doing field work at a group home for female adolescents who were pregnant and receiving services related to parenting and academics. I saw how abuse and trauma affected the lives of girls residing in the group home and knew I wanted to focus on this area.\nWhen I graduated, I took a position at a state psychiatric hospital where I worked as a therapist in a long-term residential unit for adolescents and I supervised social work services on a chemical dependency unit for adults. Again, the theme of abuse and victimization was prevalent in the lives of clients across these settings. During this time, I met a young male who talked about witnessing the physical abuse of his brother by his mother\u2019s boyfriend. Although he was not directly maltreated, he spoke often about what happened to his brother and how much it affected him.\nThis propelled my research interest in children who are not directly maltreated, but reside in families where one or more of their siblings is physically maltreated. I soon realized that, aside from a few studies published in the \u201980s and early \u201990s, no one was really focusing on the subject. Researchers seemed to focus their work either with children who were directly maltreated or children who were exposed to adult intimate partner violence (IPV). I wanted to understand what effect exposure to child maltreatment had on children and adolescents. Through exploring this topic I expanded my knowledge base on children\u2019s exposure to IPV and on women\u2019s experiences with IPV, and I continue to focus on multiple types of family violence in my research.\nI am currently involved with three research projects that focus on different aspects of IPV. It is my belief that, with better data and understanding of IPV and child maltreatment, we can create more effective methods of intervention and prevention.\nProject 1: Group Therapy for Women and Children Exposed to Intimate Partner Violence\nThis project is funded by the University of Minnesota\u2019s Clinical and Translational Science Institute. It is a collaborative, community-engaged project done in partnership with Angela Lewis-Dmello, MSW. She is the Director of Client Services at Domestic Abuse Project (DAP), a Minneapolis\u2013based organization with a 30-year history of providing therapeutic services to families who experience IPV.\nThe focus is on the effects of therapeutic groups for women and children who have experienced IPV. The study includes two groups\u2014an intervention and a control. Both are comprised of women and children seeking services at DAP. The intervention group consists of children participating in a 12-week therapy group and women/mothers participating in a concurrent 12-week parenting group. The control group consists of women/mothers participating in group services without a parenting focus and children not participating in group therapy services.\nAs you can imagine, children exposed to IPV have seen and heard a lot of things and are often left not understanding what healthy behavior and communication looks like within a family environment. During the 12 weeks of group treatment at DAP, children (ages 5 to 15) receive information and education about what abuse is and what is okay and not okay within family interactions. They also learn how to express their feelings about abuse and work to develop a safety plan. Over the course of the group, many children display changes in affect, expression of emotion, and reduction in aggressive behavior. The children talk more about their feelings and work to turn them into something more productive rather than holding them in or acting out.\nThe mothers in the parenting group work to better understand their children\u2019s experiences of violence in the home. DAP therapists work with the women to understand what it\u2019s like for a little one to be in a family environment with a lot of fighting and abuse. Through this study, we examine how involvement in the parenting group shapes parent-child interactions in the home, and ask for example, whether women are reporting positive changes in the relationships with their children.\nBecause the study includes women and children receiving different services, we are able to measure the results of the intervention group against those of women and children who are receiving services through DAP, but are not participating in the psychosocial intervention. Although we are still collecting data, I have completed follow-up interviews with many of the women in the intervention group and all but one said the gains their children made in the group have been sustained in the months since the group has ended. They all also reported positive changes in their family\u2019s communication and parent-child relationships. I believe the study results will demonstrate many successes associated with DAP\u2019s therapy group curriculum for children and women, which will be a value to DAP and many other service providers who work with this client population.\nProject 2: Intimate Partner Violence and Civil Legal Services\nThis project was funded by the National Institute of Justice in 2011 and officially began in 2012. In this study, my colleague from the University of Iowa and I are focusing on how civil legal services impact the lives of women who have experienced IPV.\nTo collect data, we employed several interviewers across Iowa, covering both rural areas and cities like Iowa City, Sioux City, Council Bluffs, Ottumwa, Waterloo, and Des Moines. All of the women in the study have current experiences or recent histories of IPV and are seeking family law services or civil protective orders through Iowa Legal Aid. Women are interviewed, in-person, every six-months for a total of two years and data is collected on their history of IPV and any re-victimization, along with measures of psychological well-being, parenting, and economic self-sufficiency.\nPrior researchers suggest that women who have a high-quality relationship with therapists make substantial gains. In this study, we wanted to see if women who reported a strong bond with their attorney, believed they were respected during the court process (i.e., procedural justice), and believed that they received a fair outcome (i.e., distributive justice) would report greater empowerment over time and experience improvements in psychological well-being.\nWe are still collecting data on the 150 women who started in the first wave. The initial findings show that women are making substantial gains over the two years they are in the study. They report a decrease in physical and emotional violence, fewer mental health symptoms, and increased resilience and parenting satisfaction. They also report high levels of procedural and distributive justice and state that they are making improvements in their family\u2019s economic conditions.\nProject 3: Intimate Partner Violence and the Health Care System\nA third project that connects IPV and healthcare was recently funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Women\u2019s Health. This project is a collaboration between myself, Dr. Cari Clark from the University of Minnesota Department of Medicine, and Dr. Mary Logeais, a physician at the University of Minnesota Primary Care Center, along with a larger community network of service providers. Our goal with this M-Health Community Network Project is to improve screening, referrals, and interventions related to IPV in adult outpatient healthcare settings.\nMost healthcare providers believe it is important to screen for IPV, but many report feeling unprepared to handle the situation when a woman states that she is experiencing violence. We have to be prepared when those issues arise and a goal of this project is to provide healthcare professionals with training, knowledge, and assessment skills. We want to help create a system of care that is able to work effectively with people who are experiencing IPV. We want to develop a seamless exchange between the clinic network and the vast resources in our community. We want to avoid long delays or gaps in services that can prevent women from seeking help or receiving help when there isn\u2019t a coordinated network of care.\nWe\u2019ve completed pilot work at the University\u2019s primary care center, and will expand the project to include both primary and specialty clinics at the Minnesota Clinics and Surgery Center, which is scheduled to open in February 2016. Our focus is on training physicians, rooming staff and other clinic providers to screen for IPV using evidence-based tools. We are also working to expand and standardize existing counseling and referral strategies for IPV, both within the clinics and across the community network, and we will evaluate the effectiveness of the Network project on improving the health and well-being of women.\nThrough these projects and other high-quality research occurring in CEHD and across the University of Minnesota, I believe we can strengthen existing interventions and develop new approaches to more effectively meet the needs of women and children who have experienced IPV and/or child maltreatment. By doing so, we can help create a healthier, safer environment for women, children, and families today and for years to come.\n[sc:lynette-renner]",

        "raw_content": "The Sovereign Consumer...\nNew publication by Niklas Olsen.\nThis book presents a new intellectual history of neoliberalism through the exploration of the sovereign consumer. Invented by neoliberal thinkers in the interwar period, this figure has been crucial to the construction and legimitization of neoliberal ideology and politics.\nAnalysis of the sovereign consumer across time and space demonstrates how neoliberals have linked the figure both to the idea of democracy as a method of choice, and also to a re-invention of the market as the democratic forum par excellence. Moreover, Olsen contemplates how the sovereign consumer has served to marketize politics and functioned as a major driver in a wide-ranging transformation in political thinking, subjecting traditional political values to the narrow pursuit of economic growth.\nA politically timely project, The Sovereign Consumer will have a wide appeal in academic circles, especially for those interested in consumer and welfare studies, and in political, economic and cultural thought in the twentieth century.\nRead more here at Palgrave",

        "raw_content": "The Emergence Of Innovation Centers\nWe look at how specific areas for innovation are springing up\nIn March, Vince Cable, who before the last election was Britain\u2019s Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, opened a new \u2018Urban Innovation Centre\u2019 in London.\nInitiated by the part-government funded corporation \u2018Future Cities\u2019, it looks to accelerate new market initiatives that have the capacity to future-proof urban environments. The center has been built to bring businesses, city leaders and universities together so that they can solve problems and take advantage of autonomy and robotics.\nLondon\u2019s not the only major city to set up a collaboration space. Berlin has a number of co-working labs, which are used to facilitate the innovation process.\nThe most famous of these is the Social Impact Lab, which was described in the Guardian as \u2018a dreamer madhouse where you can work with other crazy people who actually believe you can make money changing the world\u2019. Through the lab\u2019s scholarship programme, a number of companies have worked together to refine their business models so that their current offering is improved.\nJohnson and Johnson, the American pharmaceuticals company, has four innovation centers, with the most recent one being unveiled in London in 2013 - its first outside of North America. Part of its innovation strategy is to \u2018advance human health through collaboration with the world's leading scientists and entrepreneurs.\u2019 The hub will be used to speed up the development of new healthcare solutions so that they are brought to the market quicker.\nPaul Stoffels, Chief Scientific Officer at Johnson and Johnson, states;\n\u2018We are looking forward to collaborating within the UK, home to one of the world's thriving life sciences ecosystems.\u2019\nLondon is home to some of the world\u2019s most prestigious universities and also a high concentration of bio-tech organizations, making it an obvious choice. The city\u2019s innovation infrastructure, like Berlin, is well suited to open innovation and will bring together London\u2019s best pharma talent.\nThe emergence of these centers, coupled with the increasing amount of open innovation programmes, shows that companies, regardless of their size or market influence, want to collaborate and learn from one another.\nThis is good news for us. It means that important discoveries will be made faster, which in the case of city development and pharma, could have a direct impact on our lives. Johnson and Johnson\u2019s center, for example, will focus on technologies which aid the recovery of cancer and dementia.\nIf these centers work, they will give doctors and nurses the equipment they need to carry out their jobs in a more efficient and effective manner, which should stand all of us in good stead moving forward.\nPanel Session: The Cultural Shift",

        "raw_content": "Glasgow 2015: \u2018Clouds of Sils Maria\u2019 review\nMeditations on art, mortality and performance are the lofty thematics explored in Clouds of Sils Maria (2014), a discursive drama from French director Olivier Assayas which features two exceptional performances from Juliette Binoche and Kristen Stewart. Binoche plays Maria Enders, an established and world famous actress who, twenty years prior, was made famous by her role in a play (and then film) as young seductress Sigrid, who destroys the life of her older lover, Helen. As the film opens, Maria is introduced to the audience on a train heading to Zurich to collect a prize on behalf of the writer of the play. She\u2019s ably abetted by her American personal assistant, Val (former Twilight star Stewart).\nMary is in the midst of a divorce and is being pressured to accept roles she is not comfortable with, as well as juggling a busy schedule and suppressing the niggling doubt that she is not what she once was. The sudden death of the writer and a proposal by a daring young director doesn\u2019t exactly provoke a crisis \u2013 Assayas keeps everything restrained and mellow \u2013 but causes her to meditate deeply on the nature of time and age versus youth. This is markedly acute as the director is proposing a revival of the original play but with Maria now playing Helen, the ageing victim was is destroyed by her desire for the manipulative Sigrid who will now be played by the Lindsay Lohan-like starlet Jo-Ann (Chlo\u00eb Grace Moretz). Mary and Val use the writer\u2019s abode to prepare for the role and to go through her scenes.\nConflicted and uncertain as to whether she even wants to do the role, Mary and Val\u2019s relationship also begins to subtly changed as the young assistant begins to shed her devotion and professionalism and begins to feel increasingly dissatisfied with always being in at the behest to the older woman\u2019s whims and her ideas being airily dismissed. Assayas has directed a subtle film with no big aspirations despite its star power. The theatricality of the piece is reminiscent of 1983\u2019s The Dresser, but the tone eschews melodrama, preferring a calm, mature restraint. There are no hysterics, or screaming rows. A subtle frisson of eroticism charges Binoche and Stewart\u2019s rapport, but again Assayas is discreet, fading to black and leaving it up to us to decide if anything actually happens in the interstices. Both actresses are excellent, with Binoche given more to do and she flips between attempting to get into the skin of her character and back to her normal self. Stewart, on the other hand, has an easy naturalism as she moves from devotion to rebellion without ever being able to fully express herself.\nThe two women have a natural humour and ease as they become friends, and perhaps more, but which makes their working relationship increasingly difficult. The theatricality is also offset by the wonderful landscape and the phenomena from which the film takes its title, as the clouds snake through the valley, driven by the morning wind. The slighting references to Hollywood \u2013 the pair even watch a fake sci-fi movie \u2013 do, however, begin to grate. The sound of straw superheroes being knocked to the ground can be heard. The division of the film into chapters also felt unnecessarily literary and a long and redundant epilogue could easily have been excised, and would in fact have added a star to this review if it had. As Robert Pattinson effectively proved in David Mich\u00f4d\u2019s The Rover (2014), Assayas\u2019 Clouds of Sils Maria should go some way to rescuing his Twilight co-star from her teeny stardom and establish her as a serious actress in her own right. It was brave to pitch her against one of the greats in Binoche, but it\u2019s a move that has ultimately paid off.\nThe full Glasgow Film Festival 2015 programme, ticketing details and more can be viewed at glasgowfilm.org.\nJohn Bleasdale | @drjonty",

        "raw_content": "On Writing \u2013 Main Character Creation\nAside from world building and devising an incredible plot for your story, creating characters will definitely be one of the best moments of your writing adventure. I know that well enough of course since I have created quite a few of characters for my own work.\nHowever, do keep in mind that it\u2019s very easy to overdo it and driving on the hype to create your characters itself can be a problem if you don\u2019t steer it cautiously.\nI think you might have come across the feeling of wanting your main character to have a certain look, attitude, and abilities and all the other stuff to compliment the character? I know I have. And it got me super ecstatic to create that specific fictional person for the story.\nWhen I first created Ava Mara, the main character for \u201cINITIATION\u201d (well the whole of AVA & THE TRINITY actually . . .), I planned to give her everything; an independent nature, a fierce persona and all the tools and abilities to help her along the journey.\nHowever, when I sat down one evening I asked myself whether it would be worthwhile writing such a character who is already quite complete. I asked myself whether I can do anything more for this type of character or would I be able to add something else to develop her further or would Ava be able to offer anything else to the story without the need to rely on her established personality and skillset.\nAnd this is something you\u2019ll have to sit and think about as well.\nFor me, the answer that I got was a resounding no.\nWith the plots that I have in mind, I found out that Ava would have very little if not, no room to grow at all and I would have very limited chance to fully explore her character, which in turn translated to close to zero character building. This eventually meant, she would not be a good fit for me as an aspiring writer who is trying to build up his writing.\nYes, it would have been easier to create this awesome ass-kicking type character, traversing through this dark world and write out all the badass scenes that involve her BUT to me, I wanted something more out of it; something that can help me grow along with Ava, my MC.\nOf course, as you ponder on how to create your character, do know that you may have to feel comfortable in writing the character or things could get quite hard to get by further down the road. I\u2019ll like to say that you\u2019ll need to be able to \u201cbond\u201d with your character over time; imagine having an imaginary friend with you and you know the person well enough yet she\u2019s still able to surprise you somehow.\nCreating your main character does sound like a lot of fun but it does take quite a significant amount of work too if you want to create someone with a lot of depth who has tons to offer as you explore further into your story.\nAnd to make things a little simpler, just ask yourselves the questions I\u2019ve asked myself before(as mentioned above), really give a good thought on it and then do your best to build up your character.\nTagscharacter creation, writing\nPrevious Previous post: On Writing \u2013 The Beginning",

HRW said that it has spoken to more than 100 detained asylum seekers and migrants, including eight children, as well as the staff at multiple detention centres in Libya. \u201cSince 2016, the EU has intensified efforts to prevent boat departures from Libya. EU policymakers and leaders justify this focus as a political and practical necessity to assert control over Europe\u2019s external borders and \u2018break the business model of smugglers\u2019, as well as a humanitarian imperative to prevent dangerous boat migration,\u201d the report states. In its announcement of the report, HRW noted, \u201cEnabling the Libyan Coast Guard to intercept people in international waters and return them to cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment in Libya can constitute aiding or assisting in the commission of serious human rights violations\u201d. This report was released days after the International Organization for Migration (IOM) revealed data indicating that the number of migrants entering Europe in the first 16 days of 2019 has been nearly double the total number of arrivals in the same period in 2018.

        "title": "Parenting Difficult Children |",
        "raw_content": "I have spent the past 30 plus years parenting my chiildren. I\u2019ve learned so much over the years. There is no manual to tell you how to raise your children. I have tried and failed at so many things. One thing is for sure, I have always loved my children with all of my heart, mind, body, and soul. Even if they didn\u2019t see it, the love was still there.\nI struggled whether to write today about this because I run the risk of \u201cupsetting\u201d a child. My deciding factor was this. Don\u2019t give me something to write about then. I will most certainly make the most of it. So here I am.\nI am positive that I am not the only parent that has tried her hardest to raise a certain kind of person and ended up with a result that was so far from my vision that I feel as though I failed somewhere. I believe this is normal and I believe that it happens more often than naught. This is always the case once their own free will kicks in and they fight you at every move.\nI have had my children tell me I\u2019m the worst mom ever and that I did a horrible job and I\u2019ve ruined their lives and caused so much damage, yet I\u2019m the first person they call when they need help with their own children. So in actuality, I\u2019m not that bad afterall! Right? Because if I was that bad, I would never be allowed around their children to run the risk of ruining their lives as well.\nThis tells me that once they grow up and start having children of their own, the reasoning behind everything I did becomes their light and it\u2019s like a light bulb goes off and they say now I get it.\nI have made many mistakes. I\u2019ve made some that I would never do again if given the opportunity. There are other situations where I feel I acted appropriately and I stand by my previous actions. What is most important is that you learn as you go and you realize what didn\u2019t work and what did work.\nCurrently, my husband and I struggle with our youngest child and his decision making. He has struggled with doing so much in his life. He is the most caring individual I\u2019ve ever met yet he doesn\u2019t know how to do self-love and take care of himself. He will be 19 soon and all I can think of is where will he be in a year? How can we help him move forward into a better life and get going with himself?\nEveryone has an opinion and they are sure to give it. The only opinion I truly care about is my husbands. It is up to us to produce tough love and to try our best to live by example and teach him how to live appropriately. We do try! Every single day.\nFrustration sets in. Some days are harder than others. We as parents give 110% while he gives back maybe 30%. That is being extremely generous. It can be very exhausting.\nI find myself missing my beaches in San Diego and the peaceful life I once had. It would be so much easier to have stayed there and not chosen my family over myself. That isn\u2019t what God intended though. He didn\u2019t give me a child to love and raise only to abandon. It is my job and my responsbility to be there for my son \u201cuntil\u201d! Until he gets it. Until he understands. Until he can take over and do it on his own. Until he begins to make those sacrifices for himself that we do, for now, on a daily basis.\nI do believe that my son will grow past all of this. I believe that in time he will be that person who we so badly wanted him to be when he was just a baby and we had the visions of how we wanted it to play out. I just think it will be a different version of greatness than we could have ever thought of. I am ok with that.\nAs I type this post I am reminded that there is always someone out there that has it worse than I do. So I learn to go with the flow. I learn to sit back and watch and wait for his own personal growth to kick in. I learn to breathe more and relax more. It isn\u2019t in my timing that all will be accomplished. It is in my son\u2019s life and timing that things will take place.\nThere are times when us parents have to let them make their own mistakes and learn from them and that alone is very difficult. We can sometimes predict the future, even voice it out loud. Still it is ignored and lived out and learning the hard way kicks in.\nWe are not responsible for our childrens decisions as adults. We are only responsible to love them and guide them as much as is allowed. Wait, pray, and hope for a better future.\nI\u2019m in the waiting and praying stage right now. I may be here a while.\nEvery now and then I see the knowledge of how to be as an adult spill out of my son and that is progress. I see it when he talks to his nieces and nephews and teaches them right from wrong. So he knows it, it just doesn\u2019t apply to him yet. Maturity will set in eventually and he will get there. I have faith in him and I will wait \u201cuntil\u201d he gets to a point where I can really relax and trust he has thing crazy thing called life.\nThe only thing I know for sure is that I adore my children and I want the very best for them. I\u2019m there when needed. I love them unconditionally and always. Regardless of anything they can say or do. I believe they all know that by now!\nSo for now, I roll on my oil of Peace and Balance and take one day at a time.\nWe are all in this together. They say it takes a village to raise a child, but I also believe it takes a village to move past every part of our lives. So I write to reach out to my village to offer hope and share that you are not alone. I hope that I portray that in my writing. It is why I do it.",

        "raw_content": "Climate Justice Action was born out of the desire and necessity to link up European grassroots movements. The COP21 became a good excuse for this to happen and in October 2014, the Germans called for a gathering in Cologne.\nWith about 80 people in a room over the weekend, a large variety of groups and struggles were represented, debating how to move forward together.\nIt was clear from the start that we were to learn from our mistakes and not reproduce the \u201cCopenhagen hangover\u201d, when back in 2009, people had mobilized together around the COP15, but failed to see beyond it. With the disastrous results that came out of the negotiations, people\u2019s energy plummeted and the climate movement was destroyed in many countries.\nOut of Cologne, the concept of \u201cParis & Beyond\u201d was installed.\nIn January 2015, a new call out was made to gather in Brussels, opened to all who believed in fighting for climate justice from the bottom up.\nAt this point, it was agreed that we were creating a network of grassroots movements and a list of Common Objectives was formed. Mobilisation ideas around the COP21 were thrashed around and worked on collectively.\nIn the following meetings a Safer Space policy was agreed on, and working groups were installed. The focus was set on using the climate talks to build a stronger, bigger more mobilised climate justice movement, rather than to attempt to influence the negotiators.",

Crest: an arm, embowed, in armour, or, holding in the gauntlet a spur argent leathered sable.\nOrigin, Meaning, Family History and Mapes Coat of Arms and Family Crest\nMapes Origin:\nOrigins of Mapes:\nMapes is an English surname. The origin of this name evolved originally from the nickname of the female Mabel, itself from the Latin \u201camabilis\u201d which mean loveable or lovely. In the language of Middle English and Old French, the name was presented as Amabel, with Mabilie registered in 12th Century documents. Rogerus filius Mabille was registered in the Pipe Rolls of Northumberland in the year 1130. Other examples of the surname included Arnaldus Mobile, in the Knight Templar (Crusader) rolls for the province of Essex, dated 1185, while John Mabb was registered in the Register of Letter documents of London, in the year 1278. The name with the letter \u201cb\u201d changed to a \u201cp\u201d in London Church Recordings at the end of the 16th Century. These included in November 1582, Mary Mape and George Stonestreet who married at St. Botolph\u2019s, Bishopsgate, and in the year 1625, Amy Mapp, who was newborn, was named at St. Dunstan\u2019s, Stepney.

The origin of surnames during this period became a necessity with the introduction of personal taxation. It came to be known as Poll Tax in England. Surnames all over the country began to develop, with unique and shocking spelling varieties of the original one.\nPeople with the Mapes surname also settled in the United States in three different centuries respectively in the 17th and 18th and 19th. Individuals who settled in the 17th Century included John Mapes, who arrived in Massachusetts in the year 1634 at the age of 21. Thomas Mapes and Thomas Mapes who came to Long Island in the year 1640.\nThe following century saw many more people with Mapes surnames arrive. People who came in the 18th century included William Mapes sailed to Antigua in the year 1729 at the age of 17.\nOthers who arrived in the 19th century included Wilhelmine Mapes, aged 29 who came to New York in the year 1858.\nHere is the population distribution of the last name Mapes: United States 6,523; England 371; Australia 71; Canada 117; South Africa 1,041; Mexico 209; France 49; Northlands 18; Russia 4; India 2.\nBruce Mapes (1901\u20131961), was an American character actor.\nCarl E. Mapes (1874\u20131939), was an American politician. He played a major role in politics. He was born on an estate near Kalamo, Michigan, to Selah W. and Sarah Ann (Brooks) Mapes. His father was born in New York and came with his parents at the age of 7 to Kalamo Michigan, where he was selected as a teacher in the district school and controlled different offices.\nCharlie Mapes was an English football player for Crawley city.\nCliff Mapes (1922\u20131996), was a baseball player. He played five seasons of Major League Baseball as an outfielder for the New York Yankees and St. Louis Browns.\nDavid P.

A. Mapes was a famous politician in the state of Washington. He gave many services in the Washington House of counselors.\nJames Jay Mapes (1806\u20131866), was an American chemist, founder, and scholar, famous for his attainments in scientific agriculture.\nMary Mapes (born 1956), was an American reporter and television newscaster.\nTed Mapes (1902\u20131984), was an American stuntman.\nMapes Coat of Arms Meaning\nThe three main devices (symbols) in the Mapes blazon are the lozenge, spur and arm in armour. The two main tinctures (colors) are or and sable.\nThe word spur as a noun indicates a spike on the back of horseman\u2019s boot to goad a horse into action, and for the same reason as a verb it signifies \u201cencouraging action\u201d. Because of this, Guillim assigns the meaning \u201cpress onward\u201d to the prescence of a spur in a coat of arms. 10A Display of Heraldry, J. Guillim, Blome, London, 1679, P256 It can be depicted either as the full item, with connections to the boot, or just as the star-shaped spur rowel which contains the spikes. 11A Glossary of Terms used in British Heraldry, J.H.

The pending departure of the redshirt freshman will add another name to a growing list of transferring players out of Arkansas this offseason.\nWilliams appeared in seven games for the Hogs this season, in which he carried the football 27 times for 144 yards and two touchdowns. But with a running back position led by sophomore Rakeem Boyd and his team-leading 734 rushing yards and sophomore Chase Hayden finishing the season as Arkansas\u2019 third-leading rusher and junior Devwah Whaley as the second-leading rusher, the opportunity to play a significant role in the running game did not appear to be in the cards in the near future for Williams at Arkansas.\nWhere Williams goes next is undetermined, but he will have to sit out a year before being eligible to play again at his next school if it is an FBS program. He would be eligible to play in 2019 at any FCS program or below.\nWilliams is the sixth Arkansas player to transfer from Arkansas this offseason.\nTags: Maleek Williams",

        "raw_content": "Despite a wealth of research, there are still many gaps in our knowledge about the European Mole, one of our commonest mammals and the despair of many a gardener. Nobody has yet succeeded in breeding them in captivity, and there aren\u2019t any in Ireland.\nIt was long believed that the animal was blind but had acute hearing. In fact it\u2019s tiny (1mm diameter) eyes can certainly distinguish light from dark, and its\u2019 sense of hearing is very limited. Its\u2019 most sensitive organ is its\u2019 snout, which is covered with thousands of tiny, raised, nipple-like papillae. It has long hairs (called vibrissae) on its\u2019 face, similar to those of a cat, and it\u2019s these two sets of organs that give it an acute sense of awareness and help it to detect obstacles before running into them. It is easy to suppose, when looking at a multitudinous mass of molehills, \u2013 good alliteration? \u2013 that an army of moles is at work in that area. In fact the mole is a solitary animal, the two sexes only coming together, briefly, to mate in February or March. Each animal\u2019s range extends up to 300 yards.\nMost feeding is done in existing burrows, which act as pit-fall traps. Worms, slugs and various insects fall into these and are quickly devoured. Surface runs (which don\u2019t have molehills) are mainly made during warmer months when food is easier to obtain. The cooler the weather, the deeper the mole tunnels in search of food. As a descendant of the Jacobites I should be raising a glass to the \u2018little gentleman in black velvet\u2019, who was reputedly responsible for King William III\u2019s horse stumbling and throwing him to his death in 1702. I must, however, confess to continually cursing poor Moley, who for years has wreaked havoc in my garden and cocked a snook at endless traps. Until recently, that is, for I believe we have finally discovered an infallible secret weapon, which is none other than a dead mole.\nLet me explain. Moles, like shrews, hate their own species. Fights occur between males, between females and between sexes. They guard their territories most aggressively, and any intruder will be immediately attacked.\nFirst, therefore, catch a mole and keep it in your deepfreeze. As soon as a fresh molehill appears and before you set the trap, rub the (defrosted) dead mole along the floor of the tunnel. You will be amazed how quickly it works. And huge donations, please, from grateful gardeners to the Daws Hall Trust\u2026",

For those of you that missed installment 1 please click here (part 1) and/or installment 2 please click here (part 2) to catch up.\nAs mentioned last month, I posted a thread in the Bronze Section at the CGC Forum based on the first installment of this article. The first installment contained the bulk of information and opinion and delved into various theories regarding the surprising lack of supply to date of various bronze keys and series. Some very interesting discussions and debate took place from that point. Please visit \u2026 GPA Article: \"Where are These Bronze 9.8's\". I think you\u2019ll find it worth the time spent.\nI recently heard from fellow GPAdvisor and \u201cCGC forum legend\u201d Greg Loey (Greggy) who recently submitted a number of items listed in the previous two \u201cWhere are the Bronze 9.8\u2019s\u201d installments. Greg has a reputation as having one of the \u201csharpest eyes\u201d in the hobby. Many of his finest \u201craw acquisitions\u201d were made long ago and were carefully stored until the advent of CGC. The introduction of CGC\u2019s third-party grading has earned Greg enormous rewards for his hard work and forethought that someday ultra high-grade bronze comics would be in demand and command astonishing prices. I own several of his now CGC graded hand-picked beauties and soon will add another to my collection. A recent call to CGC revealed Greg had obtained not only 1, but 2 copies of Howard The Duck 1 in 9.8!

        "title": "The Major Challenges facing the French Leather Industry | Conseil National du Cuir (National Leather Council)",
        "raw_content": "Home > Discover the CNC > The Major Challenges facing the French Leather Industry\nThe Major Challenges facing the French Leather Industry\nThe Conseil National du Cuir (CNC) is an inter-professional organisation that brings together 19 professional federations from the leather industry. It represents the entire French leather industry, ranging from animal breeding to the distribution of finished products, including raw materials processing and the manufacturing of finished products.\nFor the greater good of the industry, the Conseil National du Cuir\u2019s activities are focused on three missions: coordinating the member federations, promoting the excellence of the French leather industry, and representing all industry sectors in dealings with the French public authorities.\nThe major challenges facing the French leather industry are to support businesses within the industry and assist new entrepreneurs, train leather industry professionals and teach them unique skills and methods, produce in a sustainable and responsible fashion, increase Made in France production, and maintain the industry\u2019s excellence.\nThe industry\u2019s 8,000 businesses, artisans, SMEs, and large companies with prestigious names employ 70,000 people and generate a turnover of 15 billion euros. In 2015, they exported goods to a total value of 9.3 billion euros.\nSupport leather industry businesses and assist new entrepreneurs\nRemove the levy cap to increase the performance of SMEs in the leather industry\nThis levy helps to increase the competitiveness of SMEs in the leather industry.\nThe industrial sector pays 60% of it with significant contributions from the major groups, with the other 40% coming from imports.\nThe funds collected are mainly used by SMEs to develop innovation and R&D programmes and improve their competitiveness.\nThis levy is used to:\nAdapt industrial expertise to ensure better quality skins, increase industrial performance, improve the design of finished products, ensure sustainable development, etc.\nMaintain, develop and transfer knowledge, carry out studies for the federations, and develop initial and vocational training programmes.\nSupport the promotion of the leather industry by providing financial assistance to businesses to enable them to take part in national and international trade fairs.\nSince 2012, this levy has been capped at 12.5 million euros. Any excess (\u20ac828,000 in 2014 and nearly 2 million euros in 2015) is paid to the French government. The cap was lowered to 12.25 million euros in France\u2019s budget bill for 2016 (PLF 2016).\nCapping this levy greatly penalises exports, particularly as it limits the ability of SMEs to participate in trade fairs abroad.\nThis situation limits the resources allocated to collective actions carried out for the benefit of SMEs and based on the four \u201cI\u2019s\u201d: International, Investment, Innovation, Industry.\nThe Conseil National du Cuir calls on the authorities to remove the levy cap to improve the performance of SMEs.\nEncourage business creation\nThe industry is made up of 8,000 businesses. The most innovative of these are growing thanks to breakthroughs made in R&D: improvement in the quality of skins, of production, new industrial processes, etc. Other SMEs are being created based on new, highly creative manufacturing concepts in line with trends.\nThe Conseil National du Cuir and the F\u00e9d\u00e9ration Fran\u00e7aise de la Chaussure (FFC - French Footwear Federation), with the support of CTC, joined forces to create the \u2018ADC Au-Del\u00e0 du Cuir\u2019 association.\nADC\u2019s aim is to encourage the emergence of new entrepreneurs and promote French creativity and craftsmanship. ADC supports the development of young labels chosen for the innovative nature of their projects in the fields of footwear, leather goods, luggage and leather objects, by providing training programmes, coaching and financial assistance. ADC puts these new companies in contact with footwear and leather goods production sites all over France.\nA guarantee fund financed at 50% by the Conseil National du Cuir and at 50% by the F\u00e9d\u00e9ration Fran\u00e7aise de la Chaussure has been created. This fund enables young entrepreneurs to accelerate their creative and economic growth, by facilitating their access to bank loans.\nThe Conseil National du Cuir wishes to extend this support to a greater number of entrepreneurs and new business owners in the leather industry by developing the \u2018ADC Au-Del\u00e0 du Cuir\u2019 programme.\nEncourage micro-business and SME succession\nThe industry is made up of artisans, micro-businesses and SMEs that work as subcontractors for larger companies because of their precious know-how. Gradually, these workshops and small businesses are disappearing with no one to take over their operation. As a result, companies are outsourcing their production abroad.\nBy being part of the industry\u2019s value chain, these artisans, micro-businesses and SMEs help to promote France abroad.\nThe Conseil National du Cuir would like to encourage SME and micro-business succession in order to secure the value chain, and to do so it is considering setting up a guarantee fund.\nSupport the fight against the counterfeiting of major brands to protect the Made in France label\nCounterfeiting poses a considerable threat to the \u2018Made in France\u2019 label, particularly in the leather goods and footwear sectors. The leading luxury labels invest significant amounts to protect their designs and models.\nThe Conseil National du Cuir encourages and supports effective actions on the part of French customs authorities and the DGCCRF anti-fraud teams. It calls for greater monitoring and control in all European countries.\nIn France, counterfeiters are very present online but it is very difficult to prosecute them. French companies are faced with highly complex procedures such as having to draw up a notification in the language of the country where the counterfeiter is based, finding a bailiff in that country and serving papers to an address that is difficult to identify.\nCanada and the USA have simple and effective procedures for dealing with counterfeiters, particularly over the internet, and they are successful at blocking sales.\nFrench companies that manufacture leather products also face unfair competition due to the non-application of Decree n\u00b0 2010-29 of 8 January 2010 relating to products which are made in Europe or transit via a European country. This decree prohibits the use of the word leather for any material other than that obtained from an animal skin using a tanning process or an impregnation procedure that preserves the natural form of the skin fibres. However it is currently only applied to French companies.\nThe Conseil National du Cuir calls for greater monitoring and control in all European countries. It would also like legal procedures to be simplified and for action to be taken as quickly as possible to limit the sale of counterfeit products over the internet.\nSecure the leather supply of big companies in the leather industry\nSome 60 tanneries, 44 of which are industrial, generate a turnover of 430 million euros and employ 1,731 people.\nThanks to the expertise of these tanneries, French leather is highly sought-after by big companies in France and abroad. France is one of the global leaders for calf leather and exotic skins (crocodile, iguana, ostrich etc.).\nBig companies have taken measures to secure their supplies in order to counter the shortage of raw materials and the inflationist tendency of the price of leather. Following the same logic as for the integration of manufacturing, companies and major groups such as Weston, Herm\u00e8s, Vuitton and Kering have adopted an upstream production integration strategy to secure the availability of materials and know-how by buying up certain suppliers.\nRecently, Herm\u00e8s acquired Tanneries du Puy.\nThe CNC finds that these takeovers are beneficial for the industry and its activity. Jobs are saved, training programmes are created and skills and expertise are preserved.\nThe CNC would like to see these tanneries continue to collaborate with all their clients. It would also like for the improvements in production and skin quality to benefit all manufacturers, large and small.\nThe Conseil National du Cuir encourages tanneries to preserve their specific production methods and urges them to maintain a diverse range of clients, as proof of their independence and their success.\nReduce the taxes and costs imposed on shopkeepers and manufacturers of leather products and change retail legislation.\nThe difficult economic climate has weakened the retail sector, which has registered a 6% decrease in turnover since 2012, while overheads in that same time have continued to increase. Shop rents, indexed on the ICC (Construction Cost Index), have increased by an average of nearly 15% over the last five years to reach almost 14% of turnover (all taxes included), which is the equivalent of the wage bill. The Contribution Economique Territoriale (CET) business tax has increased by 30% on average for retailers and the tax burden is constantly increasing: the tax on commercial premises, TASCOM, has doubled, and local and environmental taxes are on the rise. The Conseil National du Cuir calls for these taxes to be reduced, as they are too heavy a burden on the retail sector.\nThe CNC is in favour of shops opening on Sundays, particularly in areas popular with tourists. There is a lot to be gained from this, as it would result in additional business growth and the creation of many thousands of jobs (around 20,000 full-time positions). Although progress in this area is still considered to be inadequate, the new bill for growth, activity and equal economic opportunities (known as the \u201cloi Macron\u201d) is a step in the right direction. The Conseil National du Cuir will pay close attention to the results this new bill produces.\nAs labour costs are too high in France, companies manufacturing labour-intensive leather items in France which are aimed at the lower end of the market are penalised by imports, particularly from Asia.\nLowering labour costs would help to partially offset this imbalance and limit mass imports from Asian countries. The CICE (tax credit to boost competitiveness and employment) is a positive first step in meeting the expectations of our businesses.\nThe Conseil National du Cuir calls on the public authorities to take into account the specific characteristics of the leather industry when drawing up new legislative measures for businesses, and to reduce taxes and social contributions in order to allow French businesses to become more competitive.\nTrain professionals in the leather industry and teach them our unique know-how\nDevelop initial training\nVery often, the recruitment needs of leather companies are not being met. Two of the most significant challenges facing the industry are an ageing workforce and professions that hold little appeal for young people.\nPassing on French know-how in the leather professions is absolutely vital for the industry\u2019s development and its reputation. Our expertise is recognised worldwide and is a real plus for the big-name brands and the \u201cMade in France\u201d label. The leather industry thus has a strategic advantage that must be nurtured and passed on.\nThere is a great need for trained workers, yet there are not enough young people undergoing initial training. Furthermore, the initial training programmes offered do not always match the current requirements of shoe and leather goods companies. Companies are looking for a level of skill that does not appear to be developed in some of the training programmes available.\nThe industry relies on a network of 165 schools in France preparing students for 63 qualifications (ranging from post-16 certificates to engineering degrees) across all sectors: leather goods, saddlery, shoemaking, shoe/boot repair, design/fashion, leather clothing, leather tanning, leather binding/gilding.\nTo make the leather professions more attractive to young people, CTC has forged partnerships with scientific, technological and fashion institutions \u2013 ITECH (a leather engineering school), Universit\u00e9 de Savoie (sports engineering), Institut Colbert, and Institut Fran\u00e7ais de la Mode (IFM) \u2013 to enable students to discover the products and materials that are specific to the leather industry.\nMake leather professions more attractive to young people\nThe Conseil National du Cuir is making efforts to improve the visibility of leather professions by taking part in job and training fairs open to the general public and aimed at promoting the professions and training programmes in the leather industry, as well as by sharing the experience of young industry talents on social networks and on our website.\nThe industry\u2019s image problem is due to a lack of knowledge about the leather professions and to their poor drawing power.\nThe Conseil National du Cuir promotes the industry\u2019s 100 professions and training programmes by participating in the career fair \u2018L\u2019Aventure des M\u00e9tiers\u2019, organised by Salon de l\u2019Etudiant and held in November every year.\nThe Conseil National du Cuir calls upon France\u2019s Ministry for Education and the professional federations to work together to achieve a better distribution of training courses across the country and ensure these programmes meet the needs of businesses in the leather industry.\nEncourage vocational training\nTo solve these training issues, businesses have a long-standing commitment to the vocational training and continuing professional development of their staff. CTC offers training programmes adapted to each business.\nTo ensure the skills and expertise of the brands are preserved, CTC also conducts in-company training, a solution which improves the responsiveness of businesses.\nA number of companies, including Repetto, M\u00e9phisto and Herm\u00e8s, have created their own schools. In general, the training is delivered by CTC and these companies\u2019 own in-house craftsmen and women.\nOPCALIA is the accredited fund-collecting agency that contributes to financing these training programmes.\nSupport from local authorities\nThe French regional councils are in charge of vocational training and economic development in their regions and are gradually giving more support to leather companies. In Aquitaine, the regional council backed the creation of a centre of excellence for training in the leather professions, to meet the needs of companies not only within its own region but also in the neighbouring Poitou-Charentes and Limousin. These training programmes are aimed at jobseekers of all ages. The training centre is located within the vocational high school at Thiviers.\nIn the Franche-Comt\u00e9 region, a leathercraft training centre is supported by the Montb\u00e9liard local authority which encompasses Ecole Boudard and Lyc\u00e9e des Huisselets.\nIn the Aveyron region, the leather association P\u00f4le Cuir Aveyron has just been formed on the initiative of local businesses. It is backed by the Aveyron Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Millau Grands Causses Community of Communes.\nThe Conseil National du Cuir would like to see the local authorities supporting the vocational training projects and initiatives of leather companies.\nProduce in a sustainable and responsible fashion\nEnvironmentally-friendly production\nSince the 1960s, the tanning sector in particular has implemented a sustainable development policy to limit the impact of its activities on the environment.\nAs tanneries use large amounts of water and treatment products, the sector has adopted environmental standards and developed environmentally-friendly technologies for:\nWaste management, including systems for sorting, disposal, and recycling\nWater protection with separated drainage networks and appropriate treatments\nAir protection with the development of aqueous formulas to reduce emissions.\nCompanies are subject to French and European legislation governing facilities classified for environmental protection (ICPE) and are audited by the DREAL regional bodies, as well as the Ministry for Work and Employment and various other government bodies.\nThe Conseil National du Cuir encourages companies within the industry to innovate even further in their efforts to protect the environment.\nEnsure French leather poses no health risks to the consumer \u2212 a major concern for the industry\nFrench tanneries use only harmless substances such as chrome 3 or plant-based tanning agents. They adhere strictly to European standards for chemical substances: dosage of water and volatile materials, levels of extractives, soluble materials and soluble mineral materials in leathers, levels of chloride ions to limit any impact on the health of consumers.\nThe French leather industry has issued best practice guidelines to avoid generating allergenic substances such as chrome 6, the use and sale of which has been prohibited for a number of years.\nCTC performs checks using high-precision tools which allow them to measure the concentration levels of chemical substances even at a very low ppm (parts per million or mg per kg of leather).\nIn the footwear sector, a charter known as Innoshoe has been created by a group of manufacturers. The aim is to establish a methodological framework to ensure that the amount of chemicals used in their production poses no threat to the health of consumers. This demonstrates the leather industry\u2019s commitment to consumer protection.\nThe situation is more complex for imported leather and leather goods. Imports by the French leather industry (all products combined) stood at 10.7 billion euros in 2015, up 10% from the previous year. Products from Asia/Oceania made up 50% of total imports.\nAll players in the French market, whether they are leather manufacturers, importers or distributors, are required to comply with European regulations (REACH). France is the only country in Europe to take samples from finished products in order to analyse them; this makes our country one of the safest for consumers.\nFrench companies that import goods must adhere to very precise specifications.\nThe Conseil National du Cuir encourages French companies to implement procedures to identify the traceability of any imported leathers and to ensure they are safe for consumers.\nIncrease the production of leather \u2018Made in France\u2019\nDevelop best practices for breeding\nFrance is the third largest global exporter of raw leather and one of the biggest producers of tanned calf leather.\nToday, the industry is facing supply shortages, particularly for calf leather, the most sought-after material in the leather goods sector. There are three reasons for this: a drop in meat consumption (-4% per year), mechanical injuries to livestock (by barbed wire, for example), and the presence of a parasite, ringworm, which severely reduces the quality of the skin and makes it unsuitable for leather production. Less than 20% of the skins bought from French farmers can be made into quality leather.\nThere is not enough raw material to meet the demand from the big luxury houses. In 25 years, the number of skins used has almost halved.\nGood animal breeding and handling practices are also very important and improve the production and quality of the skins. The Syndicat G\u00e9n\u00e9ral des Cuirs et Peaux provides breeders and other upstream players in the industry with a handbook of best practices. It explains how to adapt herds to reduce the number of defects on the skins and also covers hygiene of premises, vaccination, anti-parasite treatments, and how to manage transport and slaughter conditions in the production chain of calf, young bovine and ovine hides.\nRingworm vaccination is also a way to increase skin quantity and quality. A pilot test carried out in 2012 showed that vaccinating animals against ringworm triples the amount of top-grade skins available. The production of quality skins could thus increase from 10% to 30%.\nNorway, where vaccination was made compulsory in 1978, has eradicated ringworm from its territory.\nVaccination would also be economically advantageous for breeders, since the difference in weight between a ringworm-infected calf and a healthy one at the end of the fattening period is around 4kg per animal.\nIn addition, ringworm vaccination would also improve the animals\u2019 quality of life by reducing the stress caused by itching.\nThe Conseil National du Cuir encourages breeders and other upstream players in the industry to follow breeding best practices and vaccinate their livestock against ringworm to increase the production of top-grade skins.\nOne of the missions of the Conseil National du Cuir: to promote the industry\u2019s excellence\nPromoting the leather industry is one of the priority actions of the Conseil National du Cuir\nAlthough French leather companies are held in high regard by their French and foreign customers, consumers and economic decision-makers have very little awareness of the industry.\nTo increase the leather industry\u2019s visibility, twice a year the Conseil National du Cuir organises Les Rencontres du Cuir, an event held in regions where leather in its many forms has generated significant economic resources as well as opportunities for employment and training.\nIt is organised on the premises of one of the industry\u2019s flagship companies. Local elected officials and representatives of various institutions, the government and the region\u2019s schools providing training in leatherwork, along with young people undergoing training are all invited, as are the regional and local media. Paraboot, Camille Fournet, Tanneries HAAS, the young micro-business Maltier le Malletier and the P\u00f4le Cuir Aveyron association have already participated in these events.\nTo introduce people abroad to the excellence of French leather, representatives of the leather industry attended the international leather fair, APLF-MM&T, in Hong Kong in 2015, at a stand organised by the CNC to represent the Made in France label.\nThis initiative was echoed in France at the R\u00e9v\u00e9lations fair held in the Grand Palais in Paris where a large, high-quality audience was able to discover our manufacturers\u2019 original and exceptional creations.\nTo attract young people to our professions, we must maintain an active and constant presence on social media: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, with videos showcasing skill and expertise, and interviews with young people and industry professionals talking about the possible prospects and opportunities available.\nEvents such as Les Portes du Cuir in the Aquitaine region and Salon de l\u2019Etudiant (a student fair) are opportunities for the CNC to present all of our industry\u2019s professions through live demonstrations by experts.\nThe Conseil National du Cuir develops a number of marketing campaigns to raise awareness of this dynamic French industry that is truly representative of \u2018Made in France\u2019 quality.\nThe leather sector\n\u200bThe Professional Organisations that are members of the National Leather Council\nNational Livestock Confederation // Conf\u00e9d\u00e9ration Nationale de l\u2019Elevage\nNational Federation of Meat Producers and Wholesalers // F\u00e9d\u00e9ration Nationale de l\u2019Industrie et des Commerces en Gros des Viandes\nFrench Confederation of Butchers and Cooked Meat producers // Conf\u00e9d\u00e9ration Fran\u00e7aise de la Boucherie-Charcuterie\nUnion of French Industries of Animal By-products // Syndicat des Industries Fran\u00e7aises des Coproduits Animaux\nGeneral Union of Leathers and Skins // Syndicat G\u00e9n\u00e9ral des Cuirs et Peaux\nFrench Federation of Tanners // F\u00e9d\u00e9ration de la Tannerie-M\u00e9gisserie\nUnion of the Synthetic Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry Industry // Syndicat de l\u2019Industrie Chimique Organique de Synth\u00e8se et de Biochimie\nFrench Footwear Association // F\u00e9d\u00e9ration Fran\u00e7aise de la Chaussure\nFrench Leathergoods Federation // F\u00e9d\u00e9ration Fran\u00e7aise de la Maroquinerie, Articles de Voyage, Chasse-sellerie, Gainerie, Bracelets Cuir\nFrench Glove-making Federation // F\u00e9d\u00e9ration Fran\u00e7aise de la Ganterie \u2013 www.gantdefrance.fr\nNational Syndicat of Preventative and Protective Workwear Manufacturers // Syndicat National des Acteurs du March\u00e9 de la Pr\u00e9vention et de la Protection\nUnion of French Bootmakers // Chambre Syndicale des Bottiers de France\nFederation of Leather Traders in France and associated professions // F\u00e9d\u00e9ration des Syndicats de N\u00e9gociants en Cuirs et Cr\u00e9pins de France et Professionnels connexes\nUnion of Shoe Repairers // Syndicat des R\u00e9parateurs Industriels de la Chaussure\nNational Union of Podo-Orthotists // Chambre Syndicale Nationale des Podo-Orth\u00e9sistes\nFrench Union of Shoe Wholesalers and Importers // Union Fran\u00e7aise des Distributeurs Grossistes et Importateurs de Chaussures\nFederation of Footwear Retail Chains // F\u00e9d\u00e9ration des Enseignes de la Chaussure\nNational Federation of Shoe Retailers // F\u00e9d\u00e9ration Nationale des D\u00e9taillants en Chaussures\nNational Federation of Leathergoods and Luggage Retailers // F\u00e9d\u00e9ration Nationale des D\u00e9taillants en Maroquinerie et Voyage\nCTC is the Professional Committee for the Development of the Leather, Footwear, Leather goods and Glove-making industries.

        "raw_content": "Bitter Orange: Safe For Weight Loss?\nBy Andrew Morris | Jul 6, 2014\nShopping for safe weight loss supplements? Bitter orange is a weight loss supplement containing synephrine, a chemical derivative of ephedra.\nEphedra was banned by the Food and Drug Administration in 2004, fueled by 900 reports of possible toxicity. Bitter orange became popular as an alternative weight loss supplement among shoppers.\nIncluded in the reports were incidents of stroke, heart attack, and sudden death.\nBitter orange is known to increase blood pressure and heart rate, but lacks evidence to be proven unsafe. Interestingly, use of bitter orange is banned for use by the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) for its theoretical athletic enhancement properties.\nOne study found the under-reporting of serious adverse drug reactions to be as much as 95 percent. To this logic, serious adverse events may have been greatly under-estimated.\nOver-the-counter products are regulated by the Federal Trade Commission, not the Food and Drug Administration. For a product to be pulled from the market by the FDA, it must be deemed unsafe through scientific evidence.\nIn my opinion, it\u2019s only a matter of time before supplements containing bitter orange will be pulled from shelves of drug stores across America.\nRegardless of possible safety concerns, products containing bitter orange continue to be among the top selling weight loss products available.\nDo you use bitter orange?

        "title": "The Exorcism of Emily Rose1 Star | The Cornell Daily Sun",
        "raw_content": "The Cornell Daily Sun (https://cornellsun.com/2005/09/12/the-exorcism-of-emily-rose1-star/)\nThe Exorcism of Emily Rose1 Star\nIf you\u2019ve seen the trailer for the Exorcism of Emily Rose, look no further. Based on the same true story that the 1973 William Friedkin\u2019s The Exorcist portrays, Scott Derrickson takes a genuinely terrifying tale of the Catholic Church recognized demonic possession of a 19-year-old-girl, and ruins it by making it the background to an over dramatized, terribly scripted, murder case concerning the priest who oversaw the exorcism itself.\nThe Exorcism of Emily Rose is not the disturbingly frightening horror film that it purports to be in the trailer. The clips of the screaming, Aramaic-spurting, devil-ridden Emily Rose (Jennifer Carpenter) are only used in the film as flashbacks and parts of testimony that witnesses disclose. The rest of the film is a painfully unimaginative, stereotypical trial scene filled with soap opera-esque, monosyllabic dialogue.\nThe film opens with the character development of Erin Bruner (Laura Linney). She\u2019s a tough, unemotional, cut-to-the-chase lawyer who will do whatever it takes to get to the top. She isn\u2019t interested in the client or her case, or telling Emily\u2019s tale. Shots of her up late at night, drinking a glass of wine in her pajamas while looking over papers for the case, something that\u2019s in almost every other murder-mystery or episode of The Practice, is about all the film shows of her as a person other than a lawyer.\nFather Moore (Tom Wilkinson) is the emotionally scarred, devout Catholic priest who only wants to tell \u201cwhat really happened to Emily.\u201d Although the role is acted well by Wilkinson, the lines he is given make him look senile and insane, making it difficult for the audience to sympathize with him. The classic lawyer-meets-criminal-in-a-jail-cell scene is botched by sloppy dialogue that made the audience laugh out loud. Father Moore questions Bruner\u2019s religious beliefs, and she confesses that she is an agnostic, dubious of any religious or spiritual elements in this life. He then warns her of the \u201cdark forces\u201d surrounding the case, and this admonishment, on top of some eerie events that occur in her bedroom, make her slowly change her mind.\nThis is perhaps where the film is at its lowest. The main plot of the trial and the tale of Emily\u2019s possession is paralleled by a ridiculous subplot of the demons haunting Erin Bruner in her sleep. Not only do these episodes fail to be scary, aside from the unexpected loud noise and the creepy orchestral buildup score, but they are completely irrelevant and out of place. These sequences only go to show that demons that possess an innocent girl apparently also hate court cases, and will do anything in their power to spook the lawyer that dared to get involved.\nNevertheless, the film does have some good points to it. The scenes involving Emily, though few and far between, definitely do their job at capturing the petrifying parts of possession that The Exorcist touched on. If all of these moments weren\u2019t already in the trailer, I would have been much more taken aback. Carpenter certainly does a great job contorting her face and body in spooky ways. The scariest part to me, sadly enough, is the photograph of her dead, maimed face that hangs in the courtroom throughout most of the film.\nOther than that, the majority of the movie is a basic religion vs. science battle between Bruner and the sarcastic, mustached \u201cvillain\u201d role lawyer who insists that medicine would have cured Emily immediately.\nIf you\u2019re looking for a typical scary movie, The Exorcism of Emily Rose is not for you, or perhaps any one. With protagonists that you can\u2019t root for and dialogue that is scarier than Carpenter\u2019s facial expressions, it isn\u2019t all that surprising that Derrickson\u2019s only other claim to fame is the straight-to-video Hellraiser: Inferno. I\u2019d stick with The Exorcist instead.\nArchived article by Rachelle Rubinow",

        "raw_content": "Posted on: June 11, 2018 Written by: Elaine Tymchak Categorized in: Leadership, Starting a Nonprofit, Struggles\nWhen things don\u2019t go as you planned, will you lose your patience? When you have to do something that you don\u2019t understand, will you get mad at yourself? These are the questions I\u2019ve been asking myself lately.\nThe other day I had an extremely horrible day. So many small things kept going wrong and altogether I lost hours of my day doing work that I really felt like shouldn\u2019t have to be done, because of my own mistake. I did something stupid that lost me an entire day of work, so I had two options in front of me that day: get really mad and blame it on someone else, and try to take it in stride.\nThe hard thing about being a leader over an organization is that I have to wear many hats. We\u2019re a young organization but can\u2019t afford to hire people to do the things that need to be done, so I have to learn how to do those things. I\u2019ve had to learn how to code websites, how to do accounting, learn how to do my own marketing and promotions, even how to edit videos. Some of these things come easy to me, but most are an uphill battle to learn. Honestly there are times when the difficult things have to be done that I start to get a pain in my stomach because I know that is going to be a tough time for me. I know that the task need to be done and there\u2019s no one else other than me to do it. But nonetheless I despise that time. I fear that I\u2019m doing it wrong. I fear that I\u2019m losing valuable time doing something that takes me much longer than it should. But what other option do I have? I\u2019d like to say that it\u2019s easy to find volunteers to do everything, but the reality is that it\u2019s not. People are well-meaning, but often their time availability is very small. I\u2019m the only one who\u2019s focusing 100% of my working time to making Cultivate move forward.\nSo I need to do the things that are hard, slow, and necessary. And learn to have the right response to these things.\nMy responses typically is to lose my patience, get angry, get frustrated, and just want to give up. But I\u2019m learning to be more patient with myself, to be more gracious with myself, and I\u2019m learning that I don\u2019t have to do things perfectly. If I lose my patience or if I get frustrated, I only hurt myself. Others aren\u2019t being hurt, just me. So even when a bad day happens, I can\u2019t let it ruin me. I am learning to take a deep breath and come back to the task and keep at it. How I respond to these tough situations will make or break me as a leader, and will determine the future for this organization that I love so dearly.\nMaybe someday we\u2019ll have the resources to bring on people who understand these things. Someday we will have someone to do our accounting! I really look forward to that day. But until then, I\u2019ll do the best that I can. I\u2019ll continue to be gracious to myself knowing that I\u2019m going to make mistakes and sometimes those mistakes are going to cost me 10 hours to fix. That\u2019s just the way life goes.\nPrevious post Third World, The Needy, & Black Panther\nNext post Do I Quit When It Gets Too Hard?",

        "title": "The One Tool Alexis Brown Never Goes to Work Without | SevenFifty Daily",
        "raw_content": "Alexis Brown, a Chicago native, fell in love with craft cocktail culture four years ago after joining the United States Bartenders Guild, seeing the documentary Hey Bartender, and attending Tales of the Cocktail\u2014all in one year. Though Brown had tended bar for four years before that, she was immediately rapt by the artistry she saw in this new wave of craft cocktail bartenders. \u201cI started getting involved, applying to all the competitions, challenging myself,\u201d she says. \u201cI really just dove right into the industry.\u201d Brown is now working to make the drinks industry more inclusive and diverse through Causing a Stir, the nonprofit she cofounded with Ariel Neal in 2016, while racking up national recognition for her drink-making skills.\nAt The Drifter in Chicago, where Brown has tended bar for nearly a year, she applies the same obsessive attention to detail that first attracted her to cocktail bartending to her shift each night. In the original \u201920s-era speakeasy cocktail bar, bartenders work in tight quarters to serve an ever-shuffling cocktail menu (literally\u2014the nightly menu is drawn from a 100-card \u201ctarot deck\u201d of drinks). With only two wells, there isn\u2019t much room for more than a couple of barkeeps at a time, let alone extra equipment or bells and whistles. But no matter what, Brown always has her tea strainer on hand during service.\nBrown uses a fine, conical metal sieve strainer during service to prevent tiny flecks of ice or pulp from diluting or muddying an otherwise perfect cocktail. She buys her strainers through a wholesale restaurant supply store in Chicago but says that Cocktail Kingdom\u2019s CoCo Strainer is a close match. \u201cAt The Drifter,\u201d Brown says, \u201cwe are very detail oriented.\u201d While juices and house-made cordials are typically strained through a chinois during prep, Brown says the additional filtering she achieves with the tea strainer ensures that a martini won\u2019t become diluted by small shards of ice in the glass, or that a rye drink made with the bar\u2019s house porcini mushroom cordial won\u2019t be sullied with mushroom sediment.\nBeyond producing clearer drinks, the tea strainer has another function: It\u2019s Brown\u2019s secret to perfect egg white cocktails. She picked up the tip from Liz Pearce, the bar\u2019s owner. \u201cLiz said I needed to strain my egg whites [so that] when I do my foam art, it would stick better and it wouldn\u2019t dissipate,\u201d explains Brown. This method, she says, yields a clear demarcation between cocktail and foam, rather than the latter melting into the former. \u201cThe foam isn\u2019t all bubbly,\u201d Brown says. \u201cIt just sets very nicely, so when you do a garnish you can set it right on top.\u201d\nBrown uses the strainer when serving drinks like the Dose of the Balmy, a vodka, passionfruit, and egg white cocktail finished with a splash of saffron bitters and a fennel frond resting atop the drink\u2019s foam. After dry-shaking her ingredients and then shaking them with ice, Brown funnels the drink through the tea strainer, which gives her firm, meringue-like peaks sturdy enough to support a garnish\u2014or serve as a canvas for a pop of color. Using this method, Brown says, \u201cI can definitely see a change when I\u2019m putting my bitters on top and trying to create some defined artwork.\u201d\nAnd, much like the elegance of Francesco Lafranconi\u2019s silver tongs, the strainer, Brown says, has another, less obvious job: It quietly communicates to guests that their drinks are being made with the utmost care and attention. In fact, Brown says, it\u2019s not uncommon for curious and admiring guests to comment on the strainer as she\u2019s using it to prepare their drink. \u201cWhen they see you really dialed in, it makes them appreciate the product a little bit more\u2014they can see how much work and care you\u2019re putting into it,\u201d she says. That\u2019s the attention to detail and the level of finesse that drew Brown to the craft in the first place. \u201cIt\u2019s not as essential as your shaker or your Hawthorne strainer, but when it comes to details and fine-tuning, then it\u2019s a necessary tool,\u201d she says. \u201cIf your overall goal is being polished, then you can\u2019t do without it.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Unsurprisingly, hip-hop is one of the most popular, if not the most popular, dance styles of today. And it should be because it is an effortless expression of flamboyance.\nWhile many social forms of hip-hop dancing have evolved over the decades, the street dance culture germinated in the 70s amidst neighborhood block gatherings of African-American musical groups, in the boroughs of New York city called the Bronx. With the passage of time, the Hip-hop culture spread across communities in cities, towns, and suburbs throughout the United States and gradually, the whole world.\nThe elements of Hip-hop were reformed and developed significantly as art forms which spread to new cultures around the globe, merging with local styles. In this era on the internet, the Hip-hop as a music and dance form has become a global and unified voice of youth, instead of its connection staying constrained to a race or a place of origin.\nHere are 11 Hip-hop Songs beat-ready for your gym, dance practice or along drive.\nMissy Elliott - Lose Control ft. Ciara & Fat Man Scoop [Official Video] (2005)\n\"Lose Control\" is a must have booze for any hip-hop party. The song peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States.\nCali Swag District - Teach Me How To Dougie (Official Video) (2010)\nWith its metronomic and what they call \"cowbell-bolstered\" beat, this song was certified platinum in the United States.\nWebstar, Young B - Chicken Noodle Soup ft. AG aka The Voice of Harlem (2006)\nFeaturing rappers Young B and the Voice of Harlem, Chicken Noodle Soup was a major hit among young fans of contemporary hip hop.\nHuey - Pop, Lock & Drop It (Video Edit) (2006)\nAt the height of crunk, in 2006, St. Louis rapper Huey emerged with this huge dance single which popped its way to No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. This uptempo American crunk song stormed the charts rising all the way to No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100.\nWalk it out - UNK (2006)\nOne of the smashing ones from DJ UNK, this track played on MTV America's Best Dance Crew during the final walk-offs of eliminated crews.\n\"Low\" was a massive success worldwide. With its catchy south coast club style beats, it was the longest-running number-one single of 2008\nMC Hammer - U Can't Touch This (1990)\nThe song is among the earliest and most famous Hip Hop dance numbers. The \"Hammer\" dance became the talk of the town and the song itself was extensively used in many commercials, TV shows and movies of those times.\nMissy Elliott - Get Ur Freak On [OFFICIAL VIDEO] (2001)\nAnother chartbuster from Missy Elliott and Timbaland. The song became a timeless number with an unforgettable blend of Bhangra, tribal and Hip-hop beats in rhythm with Indian strings.\nGS Boyz - Stanky Legg (2008)\nThe song features dance styles such as the \"Booty Dew\" and the \"Dougie\". The \"Stanky leg\" move itself became such a popular vogue step that the US forwards Jozy Altidore and Charlie Davies used it to celebrate their goal at FIFA Confederations Cup 2009.\nSoulja Boy Tell'em - Crank That (Soulja Boy) (2007)\nThis teenage anthem with an instructional dance video on YouTube which surpassed 27 million views by early 2008, is known for its trademark looping steelpan riff.\nYoung Dro - Shoulder Lean (Feat.

        "raw_content": "Data ScienceRetail & Consumer\nThe games industry\u2019s shift to deep data\nMark Robinson \u00b7 February 25, 2016\nMark Robinson 2016-02-25\nWhen it comes to collecting customer data, the games industry is in a unique and enviable position. Unlike other sectors where customer data is often incomplete, games makers and marketers can access a wealth of live data about every single one of their players.\nGames used to be sold almost exclusively in boxes, and companies, up until very recently, knew little about their players beyond what market research revealed. While it\u2019s not surprising that mobile has heralded a big shift in games, what sets the industry apart from others in the mobile space is how it\u2019s leading data innovation. And this all boils down to the way we now play mobile games.\nA change in how we play games\nThe games industry knew it had to re-think things when the free-to-play model exploded onto our handsets and started picking up billions of new players. While on paper free-to-play may have seemed like a winning formula, the truth was that the majority of games suffered from poor engagement. Users weren\u2019t getting a good enough experience in their first session, so they simply weren\u2019t returning to the game again. If players didn\u2019t stick around, the game made no money.\nAnd this problem wasn\u2019t just the misfortune of bad games. Even now, the most popular free-to-play games see Day One Retention rates sitting between 20 and 40 percent. The fact is, with no upfront payment necessary, players have no commitment to persevere with a game that doesn\u2019t engage them. So, the onus is put firmly on the developer to understand player behaviour and use that data to create gaming experiences that maximise satisfaction.\nDevelopers and marketers had to balance game experience with the requisite monetization mechanics, such as in-game advertising and in-app purchases (IAP), but doing this with big data analytics came with it\u2019s own set of problems.\nData for data\u2019s sake\nBig data has made it possible to record a wealth of data. But with so much of it available, developers run the risk of recording \u2018data for data\u2019s sake\u2019. So, driven by a market in which it\u2019s increasingly hard to retain players long enough to monetize, what we are starting to see instead is the focus shifting toward the right data to generate actionable insights.\nInstead of analyzing hordes of data, a range of tools have been developed to do this work, focusing only on metrics needed to improve games. This is being hailed as the \u2018deep data\u2019 approach. It makes the kind of analysis that used to be available solely to companies with the resource to hire professional teams, accessible even to small indie developers. And, in a hold-up lesson of innovation, they are using it to augment their games.\nAnalytics 3.0: Deep data is taking over\nWith the emergence of deep data, highly accurate game personalization is an effective option, and we\u2019re seeing more and more developers using it. By segmenting players based on their behaviour, games are being adapted and augmented to suit their style. Not only can this be used to change the gameplay, it can completely change the method of monetizing each (and every) player.\nThe evolution of analytics in gaming\nOver the last few years, there has been a significant shift in the games industry\u2019s use of analytics. This evolution can be tracked across three distinct phases:\nAnalytics 1.0 \u2013 This was focused solely on game performance; dashboard reporting of what had happened in the game, but without providing the clarity that would enable developers to know where any issues may lie, or how to solve them.\nAnalytics 2.0 \u2013 This phase was about changing the game at the design level. Developers could see where the problems were, but could only implement broad-brush and one-size-fits-all changes to the game.\nAnalytics 3.0 \u2013 The most current approach. Deep Data \u2013 the combination of a large number of data points, incredibly fast database technology and multiple data sources \u2013 enables the gaming experience to be personalized for individual players within segments, based on their engagement and playing style.\nDeep data is the future\nUsing deep data analytics tools to personalize player experiences in games not only improves monetization, it improves the gameplay for the whole audience. It\u2019s a win-win scenario. In a recent deltaDNA survey of in-game advertising, 50% of games with 100k+ DAU (daily active users) said they provided different experiences to different non-paying players.\nDeep data is not only a move towards efficiency and effectiveness, it signifies the democratization of analytics. Expect to see more and more developers adopting this approach in 2016, as other industries start to follow suite.\nfeatured image credit: Playbuzz\nTags:Deep DataDeltaDNAGamingOnline GamesVideo Games\nStart-ups Pay Huge Salaries to Attract Talented Data Scientists, says Report\nFascinated by the potential of big data and games, Mark Robinson co-founded deltaDNA in 2010 and has made it his personal mission to evangelize how analytics can change the games industry. Mark has over 15 years\u2019 experience in the data mining industry, across companies such as Heineken, Office Depot, Aviva and Unibet. deltaDNA\u2019s mission is to unlock big data to drive player understanding, introducing the concept of Player Relationship Management to build better games.\nBig Data Takes Over the Gaming Industry\nReal Time + Big Data = Move Elephant Move!\nStudy Reveals Girls Are Better at Making Computer Games",

The commerciality of such approaches is a function of the relative costs of three elements:\nenergy storage (electricity or heat);\nthe cost of standby desalination capacity (including treated water storage); or\nthe relative costs of renewable and conventional energy. Our research shows that, with the present state of technology, membrane plants are more cost-effective than thermal plants. It is also more cost-effective to oversize the desalination plant and store water on the back end than to store electric power on the front end. The best current configurations are only competitive if the opportunity cost of the avoided fuel consumption is more than $60/barrel of oil equivalent (BOE).\na-framework-for-comparing-the-viability-of-different-desalination-approaches",

        "raw_content": "NOVELS - FILMS - VOICEOVERS\n6:05PM/EST Phil McDonough and I arrive at West 13th & Washington Streets, where The Standard straddled the High Line. As much as I was a Southern boy, I liked the hip, funky hotel with a chill vibe. Even the rooftop bar was cool\u2014although it could get crazy from time to time. And that is exactly what Mack and I intended to do, once I climbed from McDonough\u2019s traveling humidor and headed inside. McDonough is still talking on the phone, as we arrive. His hush talk had gotten annoying about twenty minutes ago. Now, as I reach for the door handle to get out, he grabs my arm. \u201cWait,\u201d he says to me, then \u201cHold on,\u201d to the phone. I look down at his hand on my arm and stare. He lets it go. \u201cSorry, Carter. I had to take this\u2026and didn\u2019t mean to be rude. Whaddya say we circle back around first thing, huh? I can have a car pick you up, if you\u2019d like.\u201d \u201cThanks, but I\u2019m good. See you at Presbyterian, or, I don\u2019t know\u2026later in the day?\u201d \u201cI\u2019ll be at Presby by 8, but have a court case at 10. I\u2019ll see you then, or we can get together later. Whatever works for you. Happy to help any way I can.\u201d \u201cI\u2019ll let you know.\u201d He says, \u201cGood\u201d and is back on the phone before the door closes. I thank the driver for getting my door with a head nod. He was as expressionless as the moment we started. New York my ass. Time to see my pal and let my girdle down\u2014as my grand mother used to say. While the amount of progress I\u2019d made thus far was good, Mack and I needed to pick things up and knuckle down if we had any chance of catching the psychopaths who put this spectacle into play. And we had to start tonight. After a couple of cold beers to knock the road dust from the back of our throats, Mack and I started catching up on a few personal matters. \u201cSo, you can or you can\u2019t see yet?\u201d I ask. \u201cI can,\u201d Mack said, lifting the patch to show me his eyeball was in fine form. Mack had gone to wearing the eyepatch full time, as he said the ladies dug it. \u201cYou\u2019re insane,\u201d I say, smacking him on the back. \u201cTrue. And while it\u2019s not 100%, it\u2019s 90.\u201d He takes a drink, but fiddles with the cocktail napkin. I\u2019ve known him long enough to know that was a clear sign for I\u2019m trying to decide if I tell you something or not. I wait. Watch the crowd for a minute. Spot a few hotties. Ignore them. View the skyline. \u201cSo, I was thinking\u2026about calling Teresa again,\u201d he says. I grin\u2014more inside my head than outside my face. \u201cReally?\u201d I say, playing coy but enjoying seeing him squirm. He knew I had my eyes on her, but then we both knew she was a fickle gal. \u201cMack, that\u2019s an infatuation with no future,\u201d I say. \u201cYeah, prolly so,\u201d he says, swirling the last drops of beer in the bottom of his bottle. The second sign that he still has stuff on his mind. \u201cAnd?\u201d I ask. \u201cAnd what?\u201d \u201cAnd what does she\u2026think about that?\u201d He finishes the last of the beer and motions to the bartender for another. \u201cLook, let\u2019s just get to talking about why I\u2019m here,\u201d he says, nervously. The beer arrives. He takes a gulp. I wait. \u201cGo ahead. Enjoy that. Now\u2026spill it.\u201d He takes a gulp then leans forward. \u201cOkay, smart ass. She told me that\u2014and I quote here, \u2018Her heart is with Carter, but my body is with you,\u2019 unquote. I chuckle. I couldn\u2019t help it. He had it so bad. But I knew exactly what I had. \u201cOkay, okay. I get it. You play that the way you think\u2019s best. Our friendship will outlast most everything else.\u201d We clinked bottles and finished our beers. I toss a $100 dollar bill on the bar, wink at the overly-tattooed, yet underly-intelligent waitress with a skirt that left nothing to the imagination, and we made our way downstairs. The noise was too much, we were too tired, and despite the fact that we didn\u2019t want to appear bromantic, we did want to be able to hear one another talk. Besides, I needed some food and I knew the Standard Grill served until 3am. And checking my watch, I figured we had just enough time to feed the beast within. Sliding into an oversized leather booth in the corner, we ordered Steak Frittes with extra mayo; otherwise known as meat & fries with a side of artery-clogger. On a more serious note, Mack went on to share that my dad had developed an infection from the scorpion bite he\u2019d gotten over a month ago. The guy named Scorpion we met in Havana dropped his pet killer down my old man\u2019s shirt. Needless to say, both scorpions disappeared shortly thereafter. The good news was that after some hefty antibiotics, Pops was mending nicely. As for his full-time bodyguard Mr. Black, he was walking with a limp, but walking nonetheless. We finished \u201cfamily business\u201d by wrapping up with an update on Xeon\u2014the remaining soldier in our Cuban rescue mission. Word was she had been reassigned to an undercover gig back in Havana. This time, she was on point to intercept intel that was passing through town. We didn\u2019t think it was about a group setting up shop. At least, that was the word under the street. We weren\u2019t sure when we\u2019d see her again. I mentioned we should get her up here to help and how cool it would be not only to see her again, but that we could use her help. She was an ass-kicking machine\u2014like Gina Carano in the movie Haywire; a movie we shared as one of our favorites. The steak and fries were perfect. The beer was overly expensive, but deliciously cold. We both pushed away from the table, rubbing our bellies like two old men. We didn\u2019t care\u2014we were over-tired and underpaid. Okay, so we were paid well and who cared if we were tired; this is what we did. \u201cHow about you bullet point me what you have. And I\u2019ll stop you when I need details. That work?\u201d Mack says, cutting to the chase. \u201cNo other way, right?\u201d We clink glasses. \u201cHere\u2019s what I know,\u201d I begin. \u201cFirst, the guy knows explosives. That puts him in one of several categories.\u201d Mack nods. \u201cTerrorist, military, demolition, or hobbyist.\u201d \u201cRight.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s a team. I\u2019d say anywhere between three and six\u2026with the lead guy being either former military, and or really rich.\u201d \u201cWhy do you say that?\u201d \u201cWhich part?\u201d \u201cWell, I get the three to six. It would take at least three to orchestrate the park snatch. The screaming nanny,\u201d he says, holding up one finger. \u201cThe clown,\u201d he holds up a second finger. \u201cAnd the blind guy,\u201d he finishes with a third finger. \u201cYeah, first grade shit, right?\u201d I joke. \u201cExactly. Plus, potentially another couple for transpo or surveillance puts it at six.\u201d \u201cWe both know military would create this sort of precision. Timing\u2019s everything, right?\u201d He nods. \u201cAlso, being rich seems like a given. Takes money to make money, right?\u201d He nods again, then adds, \u201cThis is not a hobbyist, or terrorist. Too big for a weekend warrior\u2026and too small for a terrorist.\u201d \u201cMy thinking exactly.\u201d \u201cImagine that,\u201d Mack grins. \u201cMoving on. My money\u2019s on one of three opponents. You\u2019ll come to the same conclusion.\u201d \u201cShoot.\u201d \u201cClose,\u201d I say. \u201cI get it,\u201d Mack laughs. \u201cVery funny.\u201d \u201cThanks. My gut says it\u2019s someone he knows; either someone he\u2019s worked with, or works with. Could\u2019ve been someone in the force with him, someone he stepped on\u2014or over, but most likely pissed off.\u201d \u201cRevenge. Logical.\u201d I nod, finishing the last crumbs of fries on the dish in front of us. \u201cSomething keeps nagging at me: Nobody saw anything out of the ordinary?\u201d I purposely punch those three words\u2014either for effect, or because that fifth beer on an earlier empty stomach was testing my dexterity. \u201cCopy,\u201d he smirks, enjoying my theatrics. \u201cI get that it\u2019s a park, but it\u2019s Central Park. Yeah, yeah\u2026nobody wants to get involved, but there\u2019s always someone who comes forward with some cellphone video.\u201d \u201cNothing?\u201d I shake my head. \u201cWhoever it is or was, had or has, is jonesing to hurt Burton.\u201d \u201cMakes sense.\u201d \u201cHurt Burton,\u201d I chuckle. \u201cSounds like Halliburton.\u201d Mack is deadpan. \u201cThe briefcase maker? Never mind.\u201d \u201cLosing your mind,\u201d Mack smirks. \u201cNah, just sleep.\u201d \u201cWhy don\u2019t we say, for the sake of argument sake, it\u2019s a group outside the country: Taliban, Isis, the Chinese\u2014someone with plenty of money and or position, who wants to get even. Or something to gain.\u201d \u201cOkay, let\u2019s think. What\u2019s Burton really got, besides money and potential future power.\u201d \u201cRight,\u201d Mack affirms, but with a questioned look. \u201cMeaning, there are plenty of other rich politicians to hit. Richer, even.\u201d \u201cCopy that. I\u2019m sticking with local.\u201d \u201cAgreed,\u201d I say. \u201cAlso, according to Abigail, we know she was in a tower.\u201d \u201cOh, that so helps,\u201d Mack grins, \u201cWe\u2019re only in the city of towers.\u201d \u201cAnd there was water. Smart ass.\u201d Mack laughs. \u201cAgain, there are two rivers: East and Hudson.\u201d \u201cI know. But this is more than we had 24 hours ago.\u201d \u201cI\u2019m going with the East River,\u201d Mack says. \u201cGoing with the proximity factor. Sounds like they\u2019re watching the Burton\u2019s every move.\u201d \u201cI can see why you\u2019d say that. But I\u2019m going with the Hudson.\u201d \u201cOf course,\u201d he frowns. \u201cHe wouldn\u2019t shit in his own backyard. And, it would double the danger.\u201d \u201cOkay.\u201d \u201cLet\u2019s also talk about the surgery technique.\u201d Mack leans forward. \u201cYeah, tell me about that.\u201d \u201cCould be a surgeon\u2026\u201d \u201cA disgruntled doctor wants to get even for his botched tummy tuck,\u201d Mack jokes. \u201cOr, one on his staff. The perp could also just be a seamstress,\u201d I say, joking. \u201cAnd we\u2019re back to military. Remember, you can sew.\u201d \u201cYeah, buttons,\u201d I say. \u201cFuck that. Remember the time we were in Wrightsville Beach following that East Coast drug dealer and one of his jokers came at me with a knife, and opened my thigh?\u201d \u201cYeah, but that\u2026\u201d \u201cBut nothing,\u201d Mack interrupts. \u201cYou took out fishing line, a hook and sewed me up.\u201d \u201cPoint is: this guy\u2019s precise,\u201d I lean in. \u201cThe opening on that little girl? It was ruler straight\u2026razor thin\u2026and meticulously precise. We\u2019ll know more what lies beneath\u2026\u201d I look at my watch, \u201cIn a couple of hours. \u201cOkay. Got it,\u201d Mack holds up his hands in surrender. \u201cWhat else?\u201d I get the attention of our bartender, who raises his eyebrows to see if we needed anything, and I scribble in the air, asking for the check. \u201cWe gotta crash. I\u2019m toast. And we gotta start early,\u201d I slur. \u201cAnything else we\u2019re missing?\u201d he asks. I let out a big exhale, sit back and stretch my neck from side to side, trying to loosen my shoulders. \u201cWell, we know the team, or someone inside the team, has got to be pretty tech savvy. Or connected.\u201d \u201cWhy\u2019s that? The screens in Times Square?\u201d Mack asks. \u201cYep. While certainly not impossible, that shit takes tech, planning and again, large money.\u201d Mack nods, \u201cMaking it local. That\u2019s a strong possibility, right?\u201d \u201cReading my mind, brother.\u201d The waiter brings the check. I\u2019ve retrieved and tossed my gold Amex, pushing the check toward the waiter before he can move, or before Mack can even touch his pockets. \u201cThanks.\u201d \u201cWhatever.\u201d \u201cLet\u2019s go back to Lukas himself, getting away from the who\u2026and hit the why.\u201d \u201cSolid call. We know he\u2019s an asshole.\u201d Mack snorts. \u201cHow\u2019s that?\u201d I cut him a look. \u201cReally? Marines? Top of his class? Leader of his pack? Clawed and scratched his way to the top of the financial markets the second he bounced from the Corps. Everyone knows he\u2019s the first guy to do whatever it takes to turn his opponents\u2026or even his teammates, into a freakin\u2019 ladder\u2026catapulting him to whatever top he\u2019s aiming for.\u201d The waiter returns with the bill then disappears. \u201cYeah, I was reading up on him on the flight up. Notorious businessman, making millions upon millions.\u201d \u201cUh, try billions.\u201d \u201cOkay. And from what I read, he didn\u2019t make those bucks by making friends.\u201d \u201cCopy that,\u201d I say, tucking the receipt in my pocket, motioning for us to leave. \u201cHold it. Let me just finish this beer,\u201d Mack says. \u201cOh, sorry. Sure.\u201d \u201cI got something,\u201d Mack grins, while finishing his beer. \u201cWhat?\u201d \u201cCould be a shooter, except I haven\u2019t heard any mention of guns except when you called the other day. You thought you saw a sniper in the window across the street.\u201d I shake my head. \u201cYeah, no. That was a fluke. Probably some old lady watching to see what was happening at the Mayor\u2019s home.\u201d \u201cOkay, just a couple last things,\u201d Mack says, rolling a cocktail napkin into the shape of a cigarette. \u201cOkay?\u201d I half ask. \u201cWhy his daughter? Why not the wife?\u201d \u201cGo on.\u201d \u201cWouldn\u2019t his wife be a stronger target? She\u2019s from old money and quite the socialite, right?\u201d Mack scrunches his face like a little boy trying to pronounce something tough. \u201cYes. On both counts.\u201d \u201cAlso, why two asks? I mean, why have the $100-million and then a $500-million? Why not just a billion\u2026and be done?\u201d \u201cFunny, Phil McDonough said the same thing,\u201d I reply. \u201cIt\u2019s something I\u2019ve also thought.\u201d \u201cAnd lastly\u2026\u201d \u201cGood, there\u2019s a lastly,\u201d I say, standing to make my way toward the door. It looks so far away, I think. \u201cLastly\u2026\u201d Mack stands, taking the patch from his eye and tucking it into his shirt pocket. \u201cLastly, why a bomb, if\u2026\u201d he says, stumbling on the table leg. \u201cIF\u2026there really IS a bomb.\u201d We both stop. We look around to see that we are among the last people in the place. \u201cI hadn\u2019t really spent much time thinking about the potential of there not being a bomb. I just assumed so. Well, we won\u2019t know until tomorrow morning, but\u2026\u201d \u201cSee?\u201d I swatted the air, trying to push aside his idea, as it had merit. Motioning for him to join me, we made our way toward the tower where our rooms were located. The lobby had a convoluted arrangement to it, causing us to have to pay close attention. At the elevator, I punch the button and turn to Mack. Putting up consecutive fingers, just as before, I start to make my points. \u201cMy gut? One, it is a bomb. Two, it\u2019s someone he knows. Three, someone in his office, likely close to him, helped set the whole damn thing up.\u201d6:05PM/EST Phil McDonough and I arrive at West 13th & Washington Streets, where The Standard straddled the High Line. As much as I was a Southern boy, I liked the hip, funky hotel with a chill vibe. Even the rooftop bar was cool\u2014although it could get crazy from time to time. And that is exactly what Mack and I intended to do, once I climbed from McDonough\u2019s traveling humidor and headed inside. McDonough is still talking on the phone, as we arrive. His hush talk had gotten annoying about twenty minutes ago. Now, as I reach for the door handle to get out, he grabs my arm. \u201cWait,\u201d he says to me, then \u201cHold on,\u201d to the phone. I look down at his hand on my arm and stare. He lets it go. \u201cSorry, Carter. I had to take this\u2026and didn\u2019t mean to be rude. Whaddya say we circle back around first thing, huh? I can have a car pick you up, if you\u2019d like.\u201d \u201cThanks, but I\u2019m good. See you at Presbyterian, or, I don\u2019t know\u2026later in the day?\u201d \u201cI\u2019ll be at Presby by 8, but have a court case at 10. I\u2019ll see you then, or we can get together later. Whatever works for you. Happy to help any way I can.\u201d \u201cI\u2019ll let you know.\u201d He says, \u201cGood\u201d and is back on the phone before the door closes. I thank the driver for getting my door with a head nod. He was as expressionless as the moment we started. New York my ass.

He knew I had my eyes on her, but then we both knew she was a fickle gal. \u201cMack, that\u2019s an infatuation with no future,\u201d I say. \u201cYeah, prolly so,\u201d he says, swirling the last drops of beer in the bottom of his bottle. The second sign that he still has stuff on his mind. \u201cAnd?\u201d I ask. \u201cAnd what?\u201d \u201cAnd what does she\u2026think about that?\u201d He finishes the last of the beer and motions to the bartender for another. \u201cLook, let\u2019s just get to talking about why I\u2019m here,\u201d he says, nervously. The beer arrives. He takes a gulp. I wait. \u201cGo ahead. Enjoy that. Now\u2026spill it.\u201d He takes a gulp then leans forward. \u201cOkay, smart ass.

But I knew exactly what I had. \u201cOkay, okay. I get it. You play that the way you think\u2019s best.

That puts him in one of several categories.\u201d Mack nods. \u201cTerrorist, military, demolition, or hobbyist.\u201d \u201cRight.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s a team. I\u2019d say anywhere between three and six\u2026with the lead guy being either former military, and or really rich.\u201d \u201cWhy do you say that?\u201d \u201cWhich part?\u201d \u201cWell, I get the three to six. It would take at least three to orchestrate the park snatch. The screaming nanny,\u201d he says, holding up one finger. \u201cThe clown,\u201d he holds up a second finger. \u201cAnd the blind guy,\u201d he finishes with a third finger. \u201cYeah, first grade shit, right?\u201d I joke. \u201cExactly. Plus, potentially another couple for transpo or surveillance puts it at six.\u201d \u201cWe both know military would create this sort of precision. Timing\u2019s everything, right?\u201d He nods. \u201cAlso, being rich seems like a given. Takes money to make money, right?\u201d He nods again, then adds, \u201cThis is not a hobbyist, or terrorist. Too big for a weekend warrior\u2026and too small for a terrorist.\u201d \u201cMy thinking exactly.\u201d \u201cImagine that,\u201d Mack grins. \u201cMoving on. My money\u2019s on one of three opponents. You\u2019ll come to the same conclusion.\u201d \u201cShoot.\u201d \u201cClose,\u201d I say. \u201cI get it,\u201d Mack laughs. \u201cVery funny.\u201d \u201cThanks. My gut says it\u2019s someone he knows; either someone he\u2019s worked with, or works with. Could\u2019ve been someone in the force with him, someone he stepped on\u2014or over, but most likely pissed off.\u201d \u201cRevenge. Logical.\u201d I nod, finishing the last crumbs of fries on the dish in front of us. \u201cSomething keeps nagging at me: Nobody saw anything out of the ordinary?\u201d I purposely punch those three words\u2014either for effect, or because that fifth beer on an earlier empty stomach was testing my dexterity. \u201cCopy,\u201d he smirks, enjoying my theatrics. \u201cI get that it\u2019s a park, but it\u2019s Central Park. The lobby had a convoluted arrangement to it, causing us to have to pay close attention. At the elevator, I punch the button and turn to Mack. Yeah, yeah\u2026nobody wants to get involved, but there\u2019s always someone who comes forward with some cellphone video.\u201d \u201cNothing?\u201d I shake my head. \u201cWhoever it is or was, had or has, is jonesing to hurt Burton.\u201d \u201cMakes sense.\u201d \u201cHurt Burton,\u201d I chuckle. \u201cSounds like Halliburton.\u201d Mack is deadpan. \u201cThe briefcase maker? Never mind.\u201d \u201cLosing your mind,\u201d Mack smirks. \u201cNah, just sleep.\u201d \u201cWhy don\u2019t we say, for the sake of argument sake, it\u2019s a group outside the country: Taliban, Isis, the Chinese\u2014someone with plenty of money and or position, who wants to get even. Or something to gain.\u201d \u201cOkay, let\u2019s think. What\u2019s Burton really got, besides money and potential future power.\u201d \u201cRight,\u201d Mack affirms, but with a questioned look. \u201cMeaning, there are plenty of other rich politicians to hit. Richer, even.\u201d \u201cCopy that. I\u2019m sticking with local.\u201d \u201cAgreed,\u201d I say. \u201cAlso, according to Abigail, we know she was in a tower.\u201d \u201cOh, that so helps,\u201d Mack grins, \u201cWe\u2019re only in the city of towers.\u201d \u201cAnd there was water. Smart ass.\u201d Mack laughs. \u201cAgain, there are two rivers: East and Hudson.\u201d \u201cI know. But this is more than we had 24 hours ago.\u201d \u201cI\u2019m going with the East River,\u201d Mack says. \u201cGoing with the proximity factor. Sounds like they\u2019re watching the Burton\u2019s every move.\u201d \u201cI can see why you\u2019d say that. But I\u2019m going with the Hudson.\u201d \u201cOf course,\u201d he frowns. \u201cHe wouldn\u2019t shit in his own backyard. And, it would double the danger.\u201d \u201cOkay.\u201d \u201cLet\u2019s also talk about the surgery technique.\u201d Mack leans forward. \u201cYeah, tell me about that.\u201d \u201cCould be a surgeon\u2026\u201d \u201cA disgruntled doctor wants to get even for his botched tummy tuck,\u201d Mack jokes. \u201cOr, one on his staff. The perp could also just be a seamstress,\u201d I say, joking. \u201cAnd we\u2019re back to military. Remember, you can sew.\u201d \u201cYeah, buttons,\u201d I say. \u201cFuck that. Remember the time we were in Wrightsville Beach following that East Coast drug dealer and one of his jokers came at me with a knife, and opened my thigh?\u201d \u201cYeah, but that\u2026\u201d \u201cBut nothing,\u201d Mack interrupts. \u201cYou took out fishing line, a hook and sewed me up.\u201d \u201cPoint is: this guy\u2019s precise,\u201d I lean in. \u201cThe opening on that little girl? It was ruler straight\u2026razor thin\u2026and meticulously precise. We\u2019ll know more what lies beneath\u2026\u201d I look at my watch, \u201cIn a couple of hours. \u201cOkay. Got it,\u201d Mack holds up his hands in surrender. \u201cWhat else?\u201d I get the attention of our bartender, who raises his eyebrows to see if we needed anything, and I scribble in the air, asking for the check. \u201cWe gotta crash. I\u2019m toast. And we gotta start early,\u201d I slur. \u201cAnything else we\u2019re missing?\u201d he asks. I let out a big exhale, sit back and stretch my neck from side to side, trying to loosen my shoulders. \u201cWell, we know the team, or someone inside the team, has got to be pretty tech savvy. Or connected.\u201d \u201cWhy\u2019s that? The screens in Times Square?\u201d Mack asks. \u201cYep. While certainly not impossible, that shit takes tech, planning and again, large money.\u201d Mack nods, \u201cMaking it local. That\u2019s a strong possibility, right?\u201d \u201cReading my mind, brother.\u201d The waiter brings the check. I\u2019ve retrieved and tossed my gold Amex, pushing the check toward the waiter before he can move, or before Mack can even touch his pockets. \u201cThanks.\u201d \u201cWhatever.\u201d \u201cLet\u2019s go back to Lukas himself, getting away from the who\u2026and hit the why.\u201d \u201cSolid call. We know he\u2019s an asshole.\u201d Mack snorts. \u201cHow\u2019s that?\u201d I cut him a look. \u201cReally? Marines? Top of his class? Leader of his pack? Clawed and scratched his way to the top of the financial markets the second he bounced from the Corps. Everyone knows he\u2019s the first guy to do whatever it takes to turn his opponents\u2026or even his teammates, into a freakin\u2019 ladder\u2026catapulting him to whatever top he\u2019s aiming for.\u201d The waiter returns with the bill then disappears. \u201cYeah, I was reading up on him on the flight up. Notorious businessman, making millions upon millions.\u201d \u201cUh, try billions.\u201d \u201cOkay. And from what I read, he didn\u2019t make those bucks by making friends.\u201d \u201cCopy that,\u201d I say, tucking the receipt in my pocket, motioning for us to leave. \u201cHold it. Let me just finish this beer,\u201d Mack says. \u201cOh, sorry. Sure.\u201d \u201cI got something,\u201d Mack grins, while finishing his beer. \u201cWhat?\u201d \u201cCould be a shooter, except I haven\u2019t heard any mention of guns except when you called the other day. You thought you saw a sniper in the window across the street.\u201d I shake my head. \u201cYeah, no. That was a fluke. Probably some old lady watching to see what was happening at the Mayor\u2019s home.\u201d \u201cOkay, just a couple last things,\u201d Mack says, rolling a cocktail napkin into the shape of a cigarette. \u201cOkay?\u201d I half ask. \u201cWhy his daughter? Why not the wife?\u201d \u201cGo on.\u201d \u201cWouldn\u2019t his wife be a stronger target? She\u2019s from old money and quite the socialite, right?\u201d Mack scrunches his face like a little boy trying to pronounce something tough. \u201cYes. On both counts.\u201d \u201cAlso, why two asks? I mean, why have the $100-million and then a $500-million? Why not just a billion\u2026and be done?\u201d \u201cFunny, Phil McDonough said the same thing,\u201d I reply. \u201cIt\u2019s something I\u2019ve also thought.\u201d \u201cAnd lastly\u2026\u201d \u201cGood, there\u2019s a lastly,\u201d I say, standing to make my way toward the door. It looks so far away, I think. \u201cLastly\u2026\u201d Mack stands, taking the patch from his eye and tucking it into his shirt pocket. \u201cLastly, why a bomb, if\u2026\u201d he says, stumbling on the table leg. \u201cIF\u2026there really IS a bomb.\u201d We both stop. We look around to see that we are among the last people in the place. \u201cI hadn\u2019t really spent much time thinking about the potential of there not being a bomb. I just assumed so. Well, we won\u2019t know until tomorrow morning, but\u2026\u201d \u201cSee?\u201d I swatted the air, trying to push aside his idea, as it had merit. Motioning for him to join me, we made our way toward the tower where our rooms were located. The lobby had a convoluted arrangement to it, causing us to have to pay close attention. At the elevator, I punch the button and turn to Mack. Putting up consecutive fingers, just as before, I start to make my points. \u201cMy gut? One, it is a bomb. Two, it\u2019s someone he knows. Three, someone in his office, likely close to him, helped set the whole damn thing up.\u201d 6:05PM/EST Phil McDonough and I arrive at West 13th & Washington Streets, where The Standard straddled the High Line. As much as I was a Southern boy, I liked the hip, funky hotel with a chill vibe. Even the rooftop bar was cool\u2014although it could get crazy from time to time. And that is exactly what Mack and I intended to do, once I climbed from McDonough\u2019s traveling humidor and headed inside. McDonough is still talking on the phone, as we arrive. His hush talk had gotten annoying about twenty minutes ago. Now, as I reach for the door handle to get out, he grabs my arm. \u201cWait,\u201d he says to me, then \u201cHold on,\u201d to the phone. I look down at his hand on my arm and stare. He lets it go. \u201cSorry, Carter. I had to take this\u2026and didn\u2019t mean to be rude. Whaddya say we circle back around first thing, huh? I can have a car pick you up, if you\u2019d like.\u201d \u201cThanks, but I\u2019m good. See you at Presbyterian, or, I don\u2019t know\u2026later in the day?\u201d \u201cI\u2019ll be at Presby by 8, but have a court case at 10. I\u2019ll see you then, or we can get together later. Whatever works for you. Happy to help any way I can.\u201d \u201cI\u2019ll let you know.\u201d He says, \u201cGood\u201d and is back on the phone before the door closes. I thank the driver for getting my door with a head nod. He was as expressionless as the moment we started. New York my ass. Time to see my pal and let my girdle down\u2014as my grand mother used to say. While the amount of progress I\u2019d made thus far was good, Mack and I needed to pick things up and knuckle down if we had any chance of catching the psychopaths who put this spectacle into play. And we had to start tonight. After a couple of cold beers to knock the road dust from the back of our throats, Mack and I started catching up on a few personal matters. \u201cSo, you can or you can\u2019t see yet?\u201d I ask. \u201cI can,\u201d Mack said, lifting the patch to show me his eyeball was in fine form. Mack had gone to wearing the eyepatch full time, as he said the ladies dug it. \u201cYou\u2019re insane,\u201d I say, smacking him on the back. \u201cTrue. And while it\u2019s not 100%, it\u2019s 90.\u201d He takes a drink, but fiddles with the cocktail napkin. I\u2019ve known him long enough to know that was a clear sign for I\u2019m trying to decide if I tell you something or not. I wait. Watch the crowd for a minute. Spot a few hotties. Ignore them. View the skyline. \u201cSo, I was thinking\u2026about calling Teresa again,\u201d he says. I grin\u2014more inside my head than outside my face. \u201cReally?\u201d I say, playing coy but enjoying seeing him squirm. He knew I had my eyes on her, but then we both knew she was a fickle gal. \u201cMack, that\u2019s an infatuation with no future,\u201d I say. \u201cYeah, prolly so,\u201d he says, swirling the last drops of beer in the bottom of his bottle. The second sign that he still has stuff on his mind. \u201cAnd?\u201d I ask. \u201cAnd what?\u201d \u201cAnd what does she\u2026think about that?\u201d He finishes the last of the beer and motions to the bartender for another. \u201cLook, let\u2019s just get to talking about why I\u2019m here,\u201d he says, nervously. The beer arrives. He takes a gulp. I wait. \u201cGo ahead. Enjoy that. Now\u2026spill it.\u201d He takes a gulp then leans forward. \u201cOkay, smart ass. She told me that\u2014and I quote here, \u2018Her heart is with Carter, but my body is with you,\u2019 unquote. I chuckle. I couldn\u2019t help it. He had it so bad. But I knew exactly what I had. \u201cOkay, okay. I get it. You play that the way you think\u2019s best. Our friendship will outlast most everything else.\u201d We clinked bottles and finished our beers. I toss a $100 dollar bill on the bar, wink at the overly-tattooed, yet underly-intelligent waitress with a skirt that left nothing to the imagination, and we made our way downstairs. The noise was too much, we were too tired, and despite the fact that we didn\u2019t want to appear bromantic, we did want to be able to hear one another talk. Besides, I needed some food and I knew the Standard Grill served until 3am. And checking my watch, I figured we had just enough time to feed the beast within. Sliding into an oversized leather booth in the corner, we ordered Steak Frittes with extra mayo; otherwise known as meat & fries with a side of artery-clogger. On a more serious note, Mack went on to share that my dad had developed an infection from the scorpion bite he\u2019d gotten over a month ago. The guy named Scorpion we met in Havana dropped his pet killer down my old man\u2019s shirt. Needless to say, both scorpions disappeared shortly thereafter. The good news was that after some hefty antibiotics, Pops was mending nicely. As for his full-time bodyguard Mr. Black, he was walking with a limp, but walking nonetheless. We finished \u201cfamily business\u201d by wrapping up with an update on Xeon\u2014the remaining soldier in our Cuban rescue mission. Word was she had been reassigned to an undercover gig back in Havana. This time, she was on point to intercept intel that was passing through town. We didn\u2019t think it was about a group setting up shop. At least, that was the word under the street. We weren\u2019t sure when we\u2019d see her again. I mentioned we should get her up here to help and how cool it would be not only to see her again, but that we could use her help. She was an ass-kicking machine\u2014like Gina Carano in the movie Haywire; a movie we shared as one of our favorites. The steak and fries were perfect. The beer was overly expensive, but deliciously cold. We both pushed away from the table, rubbing our bellies like two old men. We didn\u2019t care\u2014we were over-tired and underpaid. Okay, so we were paid well and who cared if we were tired; this is what we did. \u201cHow about you bullet point me what you have. And I\u2019ll stop you when I need details. That work?\u201d Mack says, cutting to the chase. \u201cNo other way, right?\u201d We clink glasses. \u201cHere\u2019s what I know,\u201d I begin. \u201cFirst, the guy knows explosives. That puts him in one of several categories.\u201d Mack nods. \u201cTerrorist, military, demolition, or hobbyist.\u201d \u201cRight.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s a team. I\u2019d say anywhere between three and six\u2026with the lead guy being either former military, and or really rich.\u201d \u201cWhy do you say that?\u201d \u201cWhich part?\u201d \u201cWell, I get the three to six. It would take at least three to orchestrate the park snatch. The screaming nanny,\u201d he says, holding up one finger. \u201cThe clown,\u201d he holds up a second finger. \u201cAnd the blind guy,\u201d he finishes with a third finger. \u201cYeah, first grade shit, right?\u201d I joke. \u201cExactly. Plus, potentially another couple for transpo or surveillance puts it at six.\u201d \u201cWe both know military would create this sort of precision. Timing\u2019s everything, right?\u201d He nods. \u201cAlso, being rich seems like a given. Takes money to make money, right?\u201d He nods again, then adds, \u201cThis is not a hobbyist, or terrorist. Too big for a weekend warrior\u2026and too small for a terrorist.\u201d \u201cMy thinking exactly.\u201d \u201cImagine that,\u201d Mack grins. \u201cMoving on. My money\u2019s on one of three opponents. You\u2019ll come to the same conclusion.\u201d \u201cShoot.\u201d \u201cClose,\u201d I say. \u201cI get it,\u201d Mack laughs. \u201cVery funny.\u201d \u201cThanks. My gut says it\u2019s someone he knows; either someone he\u2019s worked with, or works with. Could\u2019ve been someone in the force with him, someone he stepped on\u2014or over, but most likely pissed off.\u201d \u201cRevenge. Logical.\u201d I nod, finishing the last crumbs of fries on the dish in front of us. \u201cSomething keeps nagging at me: Nobody saw anything out of the ordinary?\u201d I purposely punch those three words\u2014either for effect, or because that fifth beer on an earlier empty stomach was testing my dexterity. \u201cCopy,\u201d he smirks, enjoying my theatrics. \u201cI get that it\u2019s a park, but it\u2019s Central Park. Yeah, yeah\u2026nobody wants to get involved, but there\u2019s always someone who comes forward with some cellphone video.\u201d \u201cNothing?\u201d I shake my head. \u201cWhoever it is or was, had or has, is jonesing to hurt Burton.\u201d \u201cMakes sense.\u201d \u201cHurt Burton,\u201d I chuckle. \u201cSounds like Halliburton.\u201d Mack is deadpan. \u201cThe briefcase maker?

And, it would double the danger.\u201d \u201cOkay.\u201d \u201cLet\u2019s also talk about the surgery technique.\u201d Mack leans forward. \u201cYeah, tell me about that.\u201d \u201cCould be a surgeon\u2026\u201d \u201cA disgruntled doctor wants to get even for his botched tummy tuck,\u201d Mack jokes. \u201cOr, one on his staff.

Remember the time we were in Wrightsville Beach following that East Coast drug dealer and one of his jokers came at me with a knife, and opened my thigh?\u201d \u201cYeah, but that\u2026\u201d \u201cBut nothing,\u201d Mack interrupts. \u201cYou took out fishing line, a hook and sewed me up.\u201d \u201cPoint is: this guy\u2019s precise,\u201d I lean in. \u201cThe opening on that little girl? It was ruler straight\u2026razor thin\u2026and meticulously precise. We\u2019ll know more what lies beneath\u2026\u201d I look at my watch, \u201cIn a couple of hours. \u201cOkay. Got it,\u201d Mack holds up his hands in surrender. \u201cWhat else?\u201d I get the attention of our bartender, who raises his eyebrows to see if we needed anything, and I scribble in the air, asking for the check. \u201cWe gotta crash. I\u2019m toast. And we gotta start early,\u201d I slur. \u201cAnything else we\u2019re missing?\u201d he asks. I let out a big exhale, sit back and stretch my neck from side to side, trying to loosen my shoulders. \u201cWell, we know the team, or someone inside the team, has got to be pretty tech savvy. Or connected.\u201d \u201cWhy\u2019s that? The screens in Times Square?\u201d Mack asks. \u201cYep.

I\u2019ve retrieved and tossed my gold Amex, pushing the check toward the waiter before he can move, or before Mack can even touch his pockets. \u201cThanks.\u201d \u201cWhatever.\u201d \u201cLet\u2019s go back to Lukas himself, getting away from the who\u2026and hit the why.\u201d \u201cSolid call. We know he\u2019s an asshole.\u201d Mack snorts. \u201cHow\u2019s that?\u201d I cut him a look. \u201cReally? Marines? Top of his class? Leader of his pack? Clawed and scratched his way to the top of the financial markets the second he bounced from the Corps. Everyone knows he\u2019s the first guy to do whatever it takes to turn his opponents\u2026or even his teammates, into a freakin\u2019 ladder\u2026catapulting him to whatever top he\u2019s aiming for.\u201d The waiter returns with the bill then disappears. \u201cYeah, I was reading up on him on the flight up. Notorious businessman, making millions upon millions.\u201d \u201cUh, try billions.\u201d \u201cOkay. And from what I read, he didn\u2019t make those bucks by making friends.\u201d \u201cCopy that,\u201d I say, tucking the receipt in my pocket, motioning for us to leave. \u201cHold it. Let me just finish this beer,\u201d Mack says. \u201cOh, sorry. Sure.\u201d \u201cI got something,\u201d Mack grins, while finishing his beer. \u201cWhat?\u201d \u201cCould be a shooter, except I haven\u2019t heard any mention of guns except when you called the other day. You thought you saw a sniper in the window across the street.\u201d I shake my head. \u201cYeah, no. That was a fluke. Probably some old lady watching to see what was happening at the Mayor\u2019s home.\u201d \u201cOkay, just a couple last things,\u201d Mack says, rolling a cocktail napkin into the shape of a cigarette. \u201cOkay?\u201d I half ask. \u201cWhy his daughter? Why not the wife?\u201d \u201cGo on.\u201d \u201cWouldn\u2019t his wife be a stronger target? She\u2019s from old money and quite the socialite, right?\u201d Mack scrunches his face like a little boy trying to pronounce something tough. \u201cYes. On both counts.\u201d \u201cAlso, why two asks? I mean, why have the $100-million and then a $500-million? Why not just a billion\u2026and be done?\u201d \u201cFunny, Phil McDonough said the same thing,\u201d I reply. \u201cIt\u2019s something I\u2019ve also thought.\u201d \u201cAnd lastly\u2026\u201d \u201cGood, there\u2019s a lastly,\u201d I say, standing to make my way toward the door. It looks so far away, I think. \u201cLastly\u2026\u201d Mack stands, taking the patch from his eye and tucking it into his shirt pocket. \u201cLastly, why a bomb, if\u2026\u201d he says, stumbling on the table leg. \u201cIF\u2026there really IS a bomb.\u201d We both stop. We look around to see that we are among the last people in the place. \u201cI hadn\u2019t really spent much time thinking about the potential of there not being a bomb. I just assumed so. Well, we won\u2019t know until tomorrow morning, but\u2026\u201d \u201cSee?\u201d I swatted the air, trying to push aside his idea, as it had merit. Motioning for him to join me, we made our way toward the tower where our rooms were located. The lobby had a convoluted arrangement to it, causing us to have to pay close attention. At the elevator, I punch the button and turn to Mack. Putting up consecutive fingers, just as before, I start to make my points. \u201cMy gut? One, it is a bomb. Two, it\u2019s someone he knows. Three, someone in his office, likely close to him, helped set the whole damn thing up.\u201d6:05PM/EST Phil McDonough and I arrive at West 13th & Washington Streets, where The Standard straddled the High Line. As much as I was a Southern boy, I liked the hip, funky hotel with a chill vibe. Even the rooftop bar was cool\u2014although it could get crazy from time to time. And that is exactly what Mack and I intended to do, once I climbed from McDonough\u2019s traveling humidor and headed inside. McDonough is still talking on the phone, as we arrive. His hush talk had gotten annoying about twenty minutes ago. Now, as I reach for the door handle to get out, he grabs my arm. \u201cWait,\u201d he says to me, then \u201cHold on,\u201d to the phone. I look down at his hand on my arm and stare. He lets it go. \u201cSorry, Carter. I had to take this\u2026and didn\u2019t mean to be rude. Whaddya say we circle back around first thing, huh? I can have a car pick you up, if you\u2019d like.\u201d \u201cThanks, but I\u2019m good. See you at Presbyterian, or, I don\u2019t know\u2026later in the day?\u201d \u201cI\u2019ll be at Presby by 8, but have a court case at 10. I\u2019ll see you then, or we can get together later. Whatever works for you. Happy to help any way I can.\u201d \u201cI\u2019ll let you know.\u201d He says, \u201cGood\u201d and is back on the phone before the door closes. I thank the driver for getting my door with a head nod. He was as expressionless as the moment we started. New York my ass. Time to see my pal and let my girdle down\u2014as my grand mother used to say. While the amount of progress I\u2019d made thus far was good, Mack and I needed to pick things up and knuckle down if we had any chance of catching the psychopaths who put this spectacle into play. And we had to start tonight. After a couple of cold beers to knock the road dust from the back of our throats, Mack and I started catching up on a few personal matters. \u201cSo, you can or you can\u2019t see yet?\u201d I ask. \u201cI can,\u201d Mack said, lifting the patch to show me his eyeball was in fine form. Mack had gone to wearing the eyepatch full time, as he said the ladies dug it. \u201cYou\u2019re insane,\u201d I say, smacking him on the back. \u201cTrue. And while it\u2019s not 100%, it\u2019s 90.\u201d He takes a drink, but fiddles with the cocktail napkin. I\u2019ve known him long enough to know that was a clear sign for I\u2019m trying to decide if I tell you something or not. I wait. Watch the crowd for a minute. Spot a few hotties. Ignore them. View the skyline. \u201cSo, I was thinking\u2026about calling Teresa again,\u201d he says. I grin\u2014more inside my head than outside my face. \u201cReally?\u201d I say, playing coy but enjoying seeing him squirm. He knew I had my eyes on her, but then we both knew she was a fickle gal. \u201cMack, that\u2019s an infatuation with no future,\u201d I say. \u201cYeah, prolly so,\u201d he says, swirling the last drops of beer in the bottom of his bottle. The second sign that he still has stuff on his mind. \u201cAnd?\u201d I ask. \u201cAnd what?\u201d \u201cAnd what does she\u2026think about that?\u201d He finishes the last of the beer and motions to the bartender for another. \u201cLook, let\u2019s just get to talking about why I\u2019m here,\u201d he says, nervously. The beer arrives. He takes a gulp. I wait. \u201cGo ahead. Enjoy that. Now\u2026spill it.\u201d He takes a gulp then leans forward. \u201cOkay, smart ass. She told me that\u2014and I quote here, \u2018Her heart is with Carter, but my body is with you,\u2019 unquote. I chuckle. I couldn\u2019t help it. He had it so bad. But I knew exactly what I had. \u201cOkay, okay. I get it. You play that the way you think\u2019s best. Our friendship will outlast most everything else.\u201d We clinked bottles and finished our beers. I toss a $100 dollar bill on the bar, wink at the overly-tattooed, yet underly-intelligent waitress with a skirt that left nothing to the imagination, and we made our way downstairs. The noise was too much, we were too tired, and despite the fact that we didn\u2019t want to appear bromantic, we did want to be able to hear one another talk. Besides, I needed some food and I knew the Standard Grill served until 3am. And checking my watch, I figured we had just enough time to feed the beast within. Sliding into an oversized leather booth in the corner, we ordered Steak Frittes with extra mayo; otherwise known as meat & fries with a side of artery-clogger. On a more serious note, Mack went on to share that my dad had developed an infection from the scorpion bite he\u2019d gotten over a month ago. The guy named Scorpion we met in Havana dropped his pet killer down my old man\u2019s shirt. Needless to say, both scorpions disappeared shortly thereafter. The good news was that after some hefty antibiotics, Pops was mending nicely. As for his full-time bodyguard Mr. Black, he was walking with a limp, but walking nonetheless. We finished \u201cfamily business\u201d by wrapping up with an update on Xeon\u2014the remaining soldier in our Cuban rescue mission. Word was she had been reassigned to an undercover gig back in Havana. This time, she was on point to intercept intel that was passing through town. We didn\u2019t think it was about a group setting up shop. At least, that was the word under the street. We weren\u2019t sure when we\u2019d see her again. I mentioned we should get her up here to help and how cool it would be not only to see her again, but that we could use her help. She was an ass-kicking machine\u2014like Gina Carano in the movie Haywire; a movie we shared as one of our favorites. The steak and fries were perfect. The beer was overly expensive, but deliciously cold. We both pushed away from the table, rubbing our bellies like two old men. We didn\u2019t care\u2014we were over-tired and underpaid. Okay, so we were paid well and who cared if we were tired; this is what we did. \u201cHow about you bullet point me what you have. And I\u2019ll stop you when I need details. That work?\u201d Mack says, cutting to the chase. \u201cNo other way, right?\u201d We clink glasses. \u201cHere\u2019s what I know,\u201d I begin. \u201cFirst, the guy knows explosives. That puts him in one of several categories.\u201d Mack nods. \u201cTerrorist, military, demolition, or hobbyist.\u201d \u201cRight.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s a team. I\u2019d say anywhere between three and six\u2026with the lead guy being either former military, and or really rich.\u201d \u201cWhy do you say that?\u201d \u201cWhich part?\u201d \u201cWell, I get the three to six. It would take at least three to orchestrate the park snatch. The screaming nanny,\u201d he says, holding up one finger. \u201cThe clown,\u201d he holds up a second finger. \u201cAnd the blind guy,\u201d he finishes with a third finger. \u201cYeah, first grade shit, right?\u201d I joke. \u201cExactly. Plus, potentially another couple for transpo or surveillance puts it at six.\u201d \u201cWe both know military would create this sort of precision. Timing\u2019s everything, right?\u201d He nods. \u201cAlso, being rich seems like a given. Takes money to make money, right?\u201d He nods again, then adds, \u201cThis is not a hobbyist, or terrorist. Too big for a weekend warrior\u2026and too small for a terrorist.\u201d \u201cMy thinking exactly.\u201d \u201cImagine that,\u201d Mack grins. \u201cMoving on. My money\u2019s on one of three opponents. You\u2019ll come to the same conclusion.\u201d \u201cShoot.\u201d \u201cClose,\u201d I say. \u201cI get it,\u201d Mack laughs. \u201cVery funny.\u201d \u201cThanks. My gut says it\u2019s someone he knows; either someone he\u2019s worked with, or works with. Could\u2019ve been someone in the force with him, someone he stepped on\u2014or over, but most likely pissed off.\u201d \u201cRevenge. Logical.\u201d I nod, finishing the last crumbs of fries on the dish in front of us. \u201cSomething keeps nagging at me: Nobody saw anything out of the ordinary?\u201d I purposely punch those three words\u2014either for effect, or because that fifth beer on an earlier empty stomach was testing my dexterity. \u201cCopy,\u201d he smirks, enjoying my theatrics. \u201cI get that it\u2019s a park, but it\u2019s Central Park. Yeah, yeah\u2026nobody wants to get involved, but there\u2019s always someone who comes forward with some cellphone video.\u201d \u201cNothing?\u201d I shake my head. \u201cWhoever it is or was, had or has, is jonesing to hurt Burton.\u201d \u201cMakes sense.\u201d \u201cHurt Burton,\u201d I chuckle. \u201cSounds like Halliburton.\u201d Mack is deadpan. \u201cThe briefcase maker? Never mind.\u201d \u201cLosing your mind,\u201d Mack smirks. \u201cNah, just sleep.\u201d \u201cWhy don\u2019t we say, for the sake of argument sake, it\u2019s a group outside the country: Taliban, Isis, the Chinese\u2014someone with plenty of money and or position, who wants to get even. Or something to gain.\u201d \u201cOkay, let\u2019s think. What\u2019s Burton really got, besides money and potential future power.\u201d \u201cRight,\u201d Mack affirms, but with a questioned look. \u201cMeaning, there are plenty of other rich politicians to hit. Richer, even.\u201d \u201cCopy that. I\u2019m sticking with local.\u201d \u201cAgreed,\u201d I say. \u201cAlso, according to Abigail, we know she was in a tower.\u201d \u201cOh, that so helps,\u201d Mack grins, \u201cWe\u2019re only in the city of towers.\u201d \u201cAnd there was water. Smart ass.\u201d Mack laughs. \u201cAgain, there are two rivers: East and Hudson.\u201d \u201cI know. But this is more than we had 24 hours ago.\u201d \u201cI\u2019m going with the East River,\u201d Mack says. \u201cGoing with the proximity factor. Sounds like they\u2019re watching the Burton\u2019s every move.\u201d \u201cI can see why you\u2019d say that. But I\u2019m going with the Hudson.\u201d \u201cOf course,\u201d he frowns. \u201cHe wouldn\u2019t shit in his own backyard. And, it would double the danger.\u201d \u201cOkay.\u201d \u201cLet\u2019s also talk about the surgery technique.\u201d Mack leans forward. \u201cYeah, tell me about that.\u201d \u201cCould be a surgeon\u2026\u201d \u201cA disgruntled doctor wants to get even for his botched tummy tuck,\u201d Mack jokes. \u201cOr, one on his staff. The perp could also just be a seamstress,\u201d I say, joking. \u201cAnd we\u2019re back to military. Remember, you can sew.\u201d \u201cYeah, buttons,\u201d I say. \u201cFuck that. Remember the time we were in Wrightsville Beach following that East Coast drug dealer and one of his jokers came at me with a knife, and opened my thigh?\u201d \u201cYeah, but that\u2026\u201d \u201cBut nothing,\u201d Mack interrupts. \u201cYou took out fishing line, a hook and sewed me up.\u201d \u201cPoint is: this guy\u2019s precise,\u201d I lean in. \u201cThe opening on that little girl? It was ruler straight\u2026razor thin\u2026and meticulously precise. We\u2019ll know more what lies beneath\u2026\u201d I look at my watch, \u201cIn a couple of hours. \u201cOkay. Got it,\u201d Mack holds up his hands in surrender. \u201cWhat else?\u201d I get the attention of our bartender, who raises his eyebrows to see if we needed anything, and I scribble in the air, asking for the check. \u201cWe gotta crash. I\u2019m toast. And we gotta start early,\u201d I slur. \u201cAnything else we\u2019re missing?\u201d he asks. I let out a big exhale, sit back and stretch my neck from side to side, trying to loosen my shoulders. \u201cWell, we know the team, or someone inside the team, has got to be pretty tech savvy. Or connected.\u201d \u201cWhy\u2019s that? The screens in Times Square?\u201d Mack asks. \u201cYep. While certainly not impossible, that shit takes tech, planning and again, large money.\u201d Mack nods, \u201cMaking it local. That\u2019s a strong possibility, right?\u201d \u201cReading my mind, brother.\u201d The waiter brings the check. I\u2019ve retrieved and tossed my gold Amex, pushing the check toward the waiter before he can move, or before Mack can even touch his pockets. \u201cThanks.\u201d \u201cWhatever.\u201d \u201cLet\u2019s go back to Lukas himself, getting away from the who\u2026and hit the why.\u201d \u201cSolid call. We know he\u2019s an asshole.\u201d Mack snorts. \u201cHow\u2019s that?\u201d I cut him a look. \u201cReally? Marines? Top of his class? Leader of his pack? Clawed and scratched his way to the top of the financial markets the second he bounced from the Corps. Everyone knows he\u2019s the first guy to do whatever it takes to turn his opponents\u2026or even his teammates, into a freakin\u2019 ladder\u2026catapulting him to whatever top he\u2019s aiming for.\u201d The waiter returns with the bill then disappears. \u201cYeah, I was reading up on him on the flight up. Notorious businessman, making millions upon millions.\u201d \u201cUh, try billions.\u201d \u201cOkay. And from what I read, he didn\u2019t make those bucks by making friends.\u201d \u201cCopy that,\u201d I say, tucking the receipt in my pocket, motioning for us to leave. \u201cHold it. Let me just finish this beer,\u201d Mack says. \u201cOh, sorry. Sure.\u201d \u201cI got something,\u201d Mack grins, while finishing his beer. \u201cWhat?\u201d \u201cCould be a shooter, except I haven\u2019t heard any mention of guns except when you called the other day. You thought you saw a sniper in the window across the street.\u201d I shake my head. \u201cYeah, no. That was a fluke. Probably some old lady watching to see what was happening at the Mayor\u2019s home.\u201d \u201cOkay, just a couple last things,\u201d Mack says, rolling a cocktail napkin into the shape of a cigarette. \u201cOkay?\u201d I half ask. \u201cWhy his daughter? Why not the wife?\u201d \u201cGo on.\u201d \u201cWouldn\u2019t his wife be a stronger target? She\u2019s from old money and quite the socialite, right?\u201d Mack scrunches his face like a little boy trying to pronounce something tough. \u201cYes. On both counts.\u201d \u201cAlso, why two asks? I mean, why have the $100-million and then a $500-million? Why not just a billion\u2026and be done?\u201d \u201cFunny, Phil McDonough said the same thing,\u201d I reply. \u201cIt\u2019s something I\u2019ve also thought.\u201d \u201cAnd lastly\u2026\u201d \u201cGood, there\u2019s a lastly,\u201d I say, standing to make my way toward the door. It looks so far away, I think. \u201cLastly\u2026\u201d Mack stands, taking the patch from his eye and tucking it into his shirt pocket. \u201cLastly, why a bomb, if\u2026\u201d he says, stumbling on the table leg. \u201cIF\u2026there really IS a bomb.\u201d We both stop. We look around to see that we are among the last people in the place. \u201cI hadn\u2019t really spent much time thinking about the potential of there not being a bomb. I just assumed so.

        "raw_content": "Trulia: Buying 17% Cheaper Than Renting in the DC Area\nA home that recently hit the market in DC.\nDespite rising home prices, it is still cheaper to buy than to rent in the DC area, according to a report published today by Trulia. However, that calculation is tipping more in favor of renting.\nTrulia determined that buying is 17 percent cheaper than renting in the region. Renting would begin to make more sense than buying in the region if interest rates rose to 5.8 percent. When UrbanTurf has reported on this analysis in the past, the percent in favor of buying has been closer to 30 percent.\nAs we have reported when covering this analysis in the past, it is important to understand the criteria that Trulia uses when determining if it is cheaper to buy than rent in a metropolitan area.\nThe company calculates the figures assuming a 20 percent down payment on a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage financed with a 3.85 percent interest rate. It assumes people itemize their federal tax deductions and are in the 25 percent tax bracket, and factors in renovation and maintenance costs, as well as insurance, utilities, and property taxes at the average metro property tax rate. For renters, the company tacks on renters\u2019 insurance.\nPerhaps most significant in the calculations is that Trulia assumes that a homeowner will live in the home for at least seven years.\nIf you don\u2019t agree with the assumptions, Trulia has a rent-versus-buy calculator, so that users can play around with specific numbers.\nSee other articles related to: trulia, buying versus renting\nThis article originally published at https://dc.urbanturf.com/articles/blog/trulia_buying_17_cheaper_than_renting_in_the_dc_area/10486",

The company decided to strengthen the Megafyt brand by restructuring part of the portfolio. The reason for the formation of the new graphics and the partial replacement of the portfolio was a long-term declining market share in the segment and lower demand for teas in pharmacies.\nChildren's teas are perceived as a healthy and safe part of a hydration regimen. However, the pressure of the \"ready to drink\" segment is huge and even small children ask for these types of beverages. Therefore, we had to make the design exceptionally attractive with regard to this target group. Modern vivid design featuring a story, distinctive colors, and fresh ingredients are all elements that will motivate children and their parents to purchase these products. A figure of a dog used to be a key element in the design, which we replaced with the attractive bear. The bear is in different positions, activities, and helps in direct communication with the consumer. With respect to new moms in particular, the design uses elements inspired by baby food. A part of the project was complex design development of tea boxes, re-design of the tea bag, multipacks, gift packaging, POS, collectibles collection, etc.",

        "raw_content": "Some Sad Facts About Kidney Stones\nIf you suffered from a bout of kidney stones, don\u2019t think you are home free. Sadly, if you get them once, you are 50% more likely to get them again.\nIn fact, 10% of the population will get kidney stones in their lifetime.\nMost surprising of all is that 15% of those who have had kidney stones never take their prescribed medications, and 41% never follow \u2013 or only follow the dietary and nutritional recommendations for a short time.\nBest Ways to Avoid Kidney Stones\nThese are the best ways to avoid getting kidney stones for the first time and to prevent having a repeat issue.\nDrink Water, Water, and More Water\nStaying hydrated is the single most important thing you can do to prevent kidney stones. It is commonly noted that eight glasses of water per day is best practice. Everything being relative, of course, this can be off the mark and depends on the individual.\nThose prone to stones probably need even more fluid each day. If it\u2019s summertime, you need more hydration due to the heat and the amount of water we lose from sweating. Sweating causes less urine thereby allowing stone producing minerals to settle in the kidneys. Those that exercise frequently might need to drink more water all year.\nA sure-fire way to know if you are getting enough fluids to prevent stones is to look, yes, look, at your urine. It should be almost clear or very light yellow. If it is a darker color, you are dehydrated, so drink up.\nIt\u2019s okay to include some fruit juice like orange juice and sugar-free or natural lemonade as part of your daily fluid intake along with unsweetened tea.\nThis doesn\u2019t just mean to take the salt shaker away, although that\u2019s not a bad idea. Most people don\u2019t realize how much sodium is in packaged foods, canned veggies and soups, crackers, and chips, Let\u2019s not forget your favorite lunch meats and everything that has sodium in the ingredients. Monosodium glutamate is a good example. All this extra salt can trigger stones.\nInstead, substitute herbs and salt-free seasonings.\nModerate Your Animal Protein\nWe all love a good steak but it\u2019s full of uric acid and phosphates. High levels of uric acid can turn into stones. Mix it up with chicken and fish and maintain a heart-healthy portion size.\nFoods To Eliminate Or Reduce In Your Diet\nThere are a whole list of wonderful tasty foods which we all love, but if you want to keep your vow, it\u2019s time to cut back.\nThey include most cheeses, eggs, spinach, chocolate, beets, most nuts, coffee, rhubarb, and caffeine from colas and energy drinks.\nThere is no guarantee that following these tips will prevent a case of kidney stones, but it will aid in reducing the risks.\nAsk urologist, Eric Diner, MD at (727) 824-7146 for additional recommendations to avoid kidney stones. You can also request an appointment online using his secure form.\nhttps://www.healthline.com/health/kidney-health/how-to-prevent-kidney-stones\nThis entry was posted in Kidney Stones.

        "raw_content": "ARC Review: \u2605HERO\u2605 by Samantha Young\nGenre: Contemporary Romance (standalone)\nThe emotional and unforgettable new romance from the New York Times bestselling author of the On Dublin Street series.\nPRE-ORDER HERO\nThere is nothing better for me than a hate to love trope. Nothing. I eat it up and ask for seconds and thirds. I will never get enough of it. Add into that equation a brooding business man and a fantastic heroine and you\u2019ve got yourself a recipe for a terrific read!\nIf you\u2019re a fan of Samantha Young\u2019s writing, I can almost guarantee that you will love this standalone novel for her about finding love in the most unlikely of places.\n\u2026sometimes you\u2019ve got to let yourself be vulnerable even when it\u2019s the scariest thing in the world.\nAlexa Holland is a succesful assistant to a photographer. She knows her job and she does it well. But her mother\u2019s death recently has left her reeling, and the dirty family secret that it unearthed even more so. She idolized her father as a little girl, so to learn about the dirty details of his shameful past mistakes was a shock. To learn that his actions also ruined the lives of another family was even more so. So she writes her father out of her life and tries to live her life even though she still continues to feel like she\u2019s living in the shadow of his sin.\nThis becomes glaringly obvious to her when she runs into the one person that her father hurt the most with his actions. A man whose life he ultimately ruined but still turned around to make himself an immensely successful and rich business man; Caine Carraway.\nEven though she had nothing to do with her father\u2019s decisions, Lexie wants to explain to Caine who she is and that she\u2019s nothing like her father. Unfortunately her impulsive decision doesn\u2019t quite pan out the way she wants when the only reaction she gets from Caine is disgust and the loss of her job in the process.\nLexie is definitely one tough cookie. This was the thing that I really loved about her character. She never crumbles under the weight of her troubles, she faces them head on. And that\u2019s precisely what she does when she pushes her way into Caine\u2019s office the next day and demands he hears her out. She\u2019ll beg if she has to if it gets him to call her boss and get her job back and to see that she\u2019s nothing like her father.\nBut Caine has a different plan in mind. He refuses to see past the sins of Lexie\u2019s father, and he can make her pay for it\u2026in the form of a job. She\u2019ll no longer be jobless, but she\u2019ll work for him\u2026\nCaine is a very intense character and he definitely doesn\u2019t shy away from making Lexie feel like she\u2019s below him. Luckily Lexie has a backbone and never fails to give as good as she gets.\nTomorrow you\u2019ll receive your employment contracts. Once you sign those I\u2019m your boss.\u201d When I didn\u2019t answer he said, \u201cThat means you act the way I want you to act. That means you shelve your attitude and the twenty questions.\u201d\n\u201cShould I shelve those next to \u2018personality\u2019?\u201d\nThus begins their intricate push and pull. I think this may have been my favorite part of the book. The banter between Caine and Lexie was fantastic. Caine was a straight up asshole at times, and Lexie always pushed his buttons right back. But beneath the obviously anger there was also this undercurrent of lust. Samantha Young did such a fantastic job writing that in without making it be too obvious or too sudden. The chemistry between them, though felt right away, is still a slow burn. And when they finally give into the inevitable?\nCaine doesn\u2019t thaw right away, not even close. The push and pull continues for a very large chunk of the book. There are times where even though you see that he\u2019s drawn to Lexie, he\u2019s still an asshole\nI don\u2019t know what this is you\u2019re trying to do, but you and I are not the same.\u201d He took another step back from me. \u201cAnd I am not for you. I\u2019m not your white knight. I\u2019m just the guy who wanted to fuck you.\u201d\nI really enjoyed that part of the book, though. The progression of their relationship, considering their past, is a very realistic one, and I appreciated that. It takes Caine a while to really see Lexie and who she truly is and Lexie never gives up on him. The chemistry between them is absolutely sizzling. Miss Young can definitely write one incredibly sexy love scene.\nThis would have been a solid five star read for me if not for one small thing; Caine\u2019s \u2018secret\u2019. There\u2019s a lot of build up to why he is the way he is and why he doesn\u2019t believe he can be the man for her. He continuously pushes her away because of this. But I have to say when the entire thing was finally revealed\u2026I was left underwhelmed. It was this feeling of \u2018that\u2019s it? That\u2019s what it was?\u2019. For lack of a better word, it just seemed a little lame. Luckily that was such a small part and it didn\u2019t really take away from my enjoyment of the books as a whole. I definitely really enjoyed this one and highly recommend to any fans of sexy contemporary romance that like their heroes a little intense with a dash of asshole\nReview: Hostage by Skye Warren & Annika Martin\nNew Release, Excerpt & Review: \u2605Hollywood Dirt\u2605 by Alessandra Torre...\nARC Review: \u2605Ruthless Proposition\u2605 by Natasha Anders",

Thx\u201d\nWelcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel and thank you for asking us another great question. You must be getting closer to your trip now - how exciting!!\nI have some great news for you: as Canadians, we get to \u201cpre-clear\u201d U.S. Customs in Canada, so you don\u2019t need to go back through U.S. Customs when you land at Orlando International Airport. This means that you attach your Disney\u2019s Magical Express tags to your luggage in Canada and by-pass going to retrieve your bags at baggage claim, if you choose to have them delivered straight to your Walt Disney World Resort Hotel.\nAs for when you\u2019ll receive your documentation (including your luggage tags), I\u2019ve typically received it for my trips about 3-4 weeks before my trip. If you don\u2019t receive your package by then, I would recommend contacting Disney\u2019s Magical Express in order to find out whether they\u2019ve been shipped out.

The class will run from Tuesday, October 7th \u2013 Saturday, November 1st. I would guess that future classes may be offered if this one is a success, but I don\u2019t know for sure. An interview is required prior to being accepted into the course.\nRyan Colby is the founder of the domain brokerage, Outcome Brokerage. According to his LinkedIn page, he previously worked as a domain broker at Sedo and as Senior Vice President Of Acquisitions & Divestments at Domain Holdings Group.\nIf you have an interest in this course, you can learn more about it at the Domain Academy Facebook page.\nDavid Cook November 6, 2014 at 2:06 pm\nI was in on his first class. Ryan had a long list of trainings he said he would deliver in the period, there must have been at least 20+. He delivered about 5 of then went missing, came back and apologized for being busy brokering some names. He states that students will get something like 12 conference calls and a weekly personal one-on-one call I was at his only 2 conference calls in the period and waited on the phone for his third one that he didnt attend. I had two one-one one calls in the period. He had an online conference class scheduled for early in the week did not turn up to lead the class. Says he is there for his students and they can message him anytime but rarely answers his pm and if he does he says he will get back to you on the question.I had many questions that I never got an answer to. Have copy of messaging history to prove this. Very disappointed Caveat Emptor!\nI expected to learn from Ryan how to source and secure Ultra Premium Domains to get involved in and possibly begin marketing. Wanted to start building my own list and asked Ryan about this a number of time but got no answer that was of any assistance. Ryan Pmed me on FB and asked me to endorse his Course and give a testimonial\u2026 below is a copy of his request:\nHi David, if you make a public plug for my Domain Academy Group I\u2019ll be sure to get you some domain listings soon.\nI didnt want his bribe of Domain Listings, I thought I was there to learn how to do this myself and asked him for this on more than one occasion??\nRyan Colby October 29, 2015 at 9:31 am\nWith all due respect, you never paid for the course training. Since I love teaching, on occasion I like to mentor folks with a serious interest, but you can\u2019t expect to get services or advanced coaching without paying for it. That wouldn\u2019t be fair to the past students who have invested in the training and have also provided many testimonials in terms of the coaching program they received.\nHow many paying students have you had? How are they doing with their brokering?\nIt\u2019s a selective program, and we determine if the student is a good fit beforehand. This is a niche market so it\u2019s not for everyone. I\u2019ve had 7 students go through to date and we have a private Facebook Group where we continue to collaborate.",

        "raw_content": "Developing a GIS safety analysis system a case study\nAline Aylo\nGIS has become one of the most used programs for various project and research areas. It has been widely used in a variety of applications for planning, presenting, and analyzing data and results. Its application in transportation safety however, has been limited. ArcGIS provides the option of creating new tools by programming with different languages such as Visual Basic. Most of the available GIS-based traffic safety tools developed so far perform simple traffic crash analyses by querying, analyzing crash data and ranking of high crash locations by using crash data only. The objectives of this study are three-fold: (1) to review and identify the most important features and methods in safety analysis; (2) to develop a safety analysis application using ArcGIS and Visual Basic; (3) to use the application in a case study. The safety application developed is able to query traffic crashes by accident characteristics which are always reported and included in any traffic accident database such as crash severity, road condition, collision type, light condition, etc. The application also performs analysis both on a micro level and on a macro level. Users have the choice of studying an intersection or a roadway segment as well as a group of intersections or roadway segments that share common characteristics or traits. Eight different safety analysis methods were programmed, which ranged from simple methods such as the crash frequency to the more advanced methods such as the empirical Bayes (EB). A before-after study tool is added and it is able to perform a na\u00efve before-after study and an empirical Bayes study. Finally an output tool is added to the application so the results can be exported to other formats or maps. The application is tested with a case study using Montgomery County as a study area.\nArcGIS, Traffic engineering Geographic information systems, Traffic safety Geographic information systems, Traffic safety Research\nAylo, Aline, \"Developing a GIS safety analysis system a case study\" (2010).

For the last 12,000 to 50,000 years, maybe longer, we have been the same physical species. A baby born in one time frame who was transferred by a magical time machine to any other, including our present day, would grow-up as a native, as would we if we were transferred to another time. There would be no difference in capacity or appearance.\nYet, there have been thousands of variations within our human family over time: thousands of cultures and sub-cultures, thousands of languages, thousands of meaning-systems, thousands of interpretations of reality, thousands of ways to survive and thrive within the Earth community. This variety of ways to survive and thrive is what I understand Thomas Berry to mean when he refers to \u201cways of being human\u201d or \u201cmodes of being human\u201d.\nBecause we are born physiologically immature (having to do with the relationship between baby\u2019s cranium & brain, mom\u2019s pelvis, and our bipedal nature) \u2013 I heard someone call it being \u201cborn half-cooked\u201d \u2013 we are completed by the family and culture into which we are born. Each historical era, each culture, each family, often each generation, invents itself. We humans are self-inventing creatures, to a great extent.\nBecause we invent ourselves, we also REinvent ourselves. Within the limits given by evolution, we can be whatever we want to be as a species, live wherever we want to live.\nBy conscious and unconscious action our current \u201cway of being human\u201d is causing irreparable harm to and diminishment of the Earth community, ourselves and the very things, systems, and beings upon which we rely for our survival and thriving as a species.\nThus we must \u201creinvent the human\u201d by drawing upon our evolutionary capacities to create new cultures, sub-cultures, languages, meaning-systems, interpretations of reality, and ways of surviving and thriving.\nIt is to this Great Work, the reinvention of the human family, that this section \u201cReinventing the Human\u201d (and the whole site, really) is dedicated.",

        "raw_content": "How We Can Say to Students of Color: \u2018You\u2019re Welcome Here. I Believe in You.\u2019\nPosted Mar. 31, 2016 in The Belief Gap\nPaul Collier has worked with youth for 18 years. He is currently a school social worker for the Minneapolis Public Schools, a member of the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers, and a member of Educators 4 Excellence-Minnesota. Full profile \u2192\nMinnesota\u2019s state teachers union recently produced a report that calls for action on an issue that hits home for me as a teacher of color: increasing teacher diversity in our state.\nFor the past 18 years I\u2019ve worked with urban youth. First in enrichment classes and camps, and now as a school social worker. More than disappointed about educational inequities in Minnesota, I feel downright embarrassed about the racial opportunity gaps for students in our state.\nBecoming an educator means becoming a walking example of giving back to our community, and as a school social worker, that is what I try to do each and every day. I feel lucky that I was born to a mother who taught for 39 years, who was able to send me to the school of her choice, and who pushed me to do well. But high-quality urban education shouldn\u2019t just be available to the lucky. This is why I choose to give back.\nWhat it takes to be an educator of color in Minnesota is an uphill battle. The feeling of racial isolation is real, and the cultural awareness and level of sensitivity among my colleagues can be, at times, astonishing. I have heard the \u201cN word\u201d spoken by a colleague at a staff meeting. I have heard students of color being referred to as \u201ccolored,\u201d \u201ccriminal\u201d or even \u201cdumb.\u201d\nAs a black male of larger stature, I\u2019m always cognizant and calculating of how I may be seen or perceived. Every day, I am hyper-vigilant at work.\nOf course, ignorance doesn\u2019t just impact adults. For our students of color, the belief gap is alive and well. Our personal belief about a student\u2019s potential is influenced by his or her race, class and gender\u2014and all of it matters.\nFortunately, an effort in Minnesota and a national movement called TeachStrong are already underway to elevate this important issue. At the same time, we need multiple approaches to recruit, retain and support educators and other school staff of color. The lack of teacher diversity is not a problem that can be solved with a single campaign or legislative session, or even with years of professional development on cultural competency.\nThat\u2019s why I\u2019m working with a group of teachers to advocate for a competitive public grant program to recruit more candidates of color to become Minnesota teachers. This funding could make the innovative, high-quality alternative and non-conventional programs we need a reality. We want this bipartisan bill to aid the state in recognizing and replicating practices of teacher preparation programs that excel in preparing teachers from diverse backgrounds.\nWe also want to require institutions to disaggregate certain indicators on the teacher preparation report card by race, including: satisfaction, four-year graduation, licensure attainment, and employment rates so we can empower candidates of color to select an institution based on its record of success in preparing prospective teachers to attain licensure and secure employment.\nI\u2019m calling on my Minnesota state legislators to pass HF3340 and SF3003 as a small but important step toward increasing diversity.\nBut what I want even more is for my students to enter our school each day and see faces of many shades and colors that say to them: \u201cI see you. You\u2019re welcome here. I believe in you.\u201d\nAn original version of this post appeared on Educators 4 Excellence blog.\nThe Belief Gap, Black Male Achievement, Black Voices, Crossposts, Educators 4 Excellence, Minneapolis, Minneapolis Public Schools, Minnesota, Paul Collier, Students of Color, Teacher Eval, teacher evaluation, teacher quality\nMolly Cole on Opening Brooke East Boston Charter School and Becoming One of the Top Schools in the State\nBack to School, Back to Isolation\nTo the Millions of Juans: I Hope Your Teacher Doesn't Fall Into the Belief Gap",

        "raw_content": "Book review: A very smart book, on a passionately entertaining subject\n\u201cInverting the Pyramid: The History of Football Tactics\u201d by Jonathan Wilson\nThis is the fascinating long history of the Great Game, from the tactical perspectives and the philosophies that come with them.\nThe book began right from where it all started: the meeting organised by H.C. Malden of Godalming, Surrey, in his Cambridge rooms in 1848, which summons university representatives of Harrow, Eaton, Shrewsbury, Winchester, Rugby, and 2 non-public schoolboys, to create the first unified Laws of the Game, the \u201cCambridge Rules.\u201d The rules then spread around the world in the next few decades via British men of various occupations, blended in with the local culture and create distinctively local style of play, until it became a truly global phenomenon in the 20th century.\nThe title of the book brilliantly captures this phenomenon, through the evolution of its formation from the pyramid-like shape 2-3-5 in the early days, to 3-2-5, 4-2-4, 4-4-2 to the inverted pyramid shape 4-5-1 and even 4-6-0 that several teams use today, complete with all the advantages-disadvantages, blank spots, and all the major incidents that colour the many transformations.\nWithin this long tactical evolution the author, Jonathan Wilson, demonstrates a very thorough research down to the smallest incidents on any match played, such as a big match in 1890 or 1953 when there weren\u2019t even a television coverage. And he can describe the socio-cultural influences of every team thoughout history. For instance, the style of play of a football team is apparently largely influenced by the contemporary political system and economic condition, like in Italy and Spain in 1930s and Argentina in 1960s when they were under military dictatorship they played a tough, muscular, and pragmatic football.\nThe book also delightfully gives small trivial facts every now and then, such as the first man to be caught offside after the 1866 law change was Charles W. Alcock. Or how the father of modern football, Viktor Maslov, was the first to use 4-4-2 formation. Or that time Louis Van Gaal dropped his troussers in Bayern Munich\u2019s dressing room, to literally show that he \u201chas the balls\u201d to drop star names.\nAs football evolves, so do the chapters in the book. And we\u2019ll move forward from the likes of the day rugby separated itself from football to the most exciting part for me, the tactics that differentiates modern football from the old: pressing.\nAnd this is where it really gets down to business. The book gives the technical explanations of a lot of matches and team set-up, a lot of which gives a whole new angle on the matches we thought we knew when we watch them. Such as how Greece can (deservedly) won Euro 2004, by controling matches without even controling the ball. Why Sergio Busquet was the most vital player in Guardiola\u2019s Barcelona. And why Arrigo Sacchi had to instruct Carlo Anchelotti to train an hour early with the youth team to make sure his playmaker understands his specific tactics.\nJonathan Wilson declared right in the beginning that he loves Bielsa-esque style of play, with high speed passings and high pressure. And it shows. The discussion of modern football evolve mainly on the style of Bielsa, Sacchi and Cruyff and their descendants like Guardiola and Van Gaal, and not so much on the style applied, for example, by Alex Ferguson, Marcello Lippi, or Jose Mourinho, although their styles (and many more modern managers\u2019 styles) are still analysed albeit not as thorough.\nJust like when watching these fast-paced footballing style, reading the analysis of the tactics, in almost scientific approach, is just downright exhilarating. It gives a bright shining light on how the modern game is really constructed, and makes Marcelo Bielsa in particular \u2013 and his prot\u00e9g\u00e9s \u2013 looks nothing short of a genius. A very enjoyable reading!\nPrevious Previous post: Book review: The importance of Khatam\nNext Next post: There\u2019s such thing as atheist extremists",

        "raw_content": "\u2190 Confederate Culture Wars: Daniel Davis\nReview: \u201cThe First Battle for Petersburg: The Attack and Defense of the Cockade City, June 9, 1864\u201d \u2192\nToday, we are pleased to welcome back guest author Jim Taub\nWhen you first begin seriously studying the Civil War, you quickly learn that the tactics employed in the Civil War, particularly by the infantry (foot soldiers), were profoundly out of date, especially when considering that the weapons had advanced so far. The failure to adapt to modern technology was the apparent cause of the horrendous casualties seen in the battles of the Civil War. Soldiers marched in lines, in wide open fields towards the waiting enemy, generally to try and take high ground. The troops were expected to move through galling fire of both muskets and cannons to take their objectives. The result, as many historians have argued, was complete slaughter.\nYet when you read what these soldiers, and their officers wrote, you can get a better sense of why it was important to maintain these linear formations in a Civil War battle. Because the particular instances within bloody battles are so famous, people tend to forget that most units did not have such high casualty rates in most of their battles. Episodes such as the 1st Texas at Antietam (82%), or the 24th Michigan at Gettysburg (73%) were just not normal in Civil War fights. The men who fought using these tactics have very interesting things to say about them, and are often unheeded. This US belt buckle clearly shows the danger of rifle fire in the civil war, but, it turns out that civil war rifle fire was extremely inaccurate. There were, actually, very few casualties for the number of rounds fired. Whoever was wearing this belt buckle became a casualty, but as you will see, he became one of the poor unfortunates who caught one of the millions of projectiles flying around.\nThe Civil War soldier, in all honesty, was a horrible shot. Allen Guelzo in his book Gettysburg: The Last Invasion quotes a calculation done by Union General William S. Rosecrans after the Battle of Stones River fought from December 31st, 1862, to January 2nd, 1863, in which General Rosecrans concluded that for 2 million small arms rounds fired by the Union soldiers in the battle, only 13,832 Rebels were hit. For every 20,000 rounds of artillery fired at Stones River, only 728 men were hit. Doing the math, these figures show that at the average Civil War battle, such as Stones River, it took 27 rounds from a cannon or 145 from a rifle to inflict a single casualty. [2] These statistics show that it was simply not a case of entire regiments or companies being mowed down by other regiments; for fire to have any effect at all it needed to be massed, just as in the days of Napoleon or Washington. And still the casualties on a unit by unit basis were generally low. So, when you think about it, Civil War battles were not so horribly deadly because the soldiers used linear formations, but, instead, simply because the armies were so big \u2013 their sizes, just like the casualties, had been unheard of in America\u2019s previous wars.\nCo. D., 149th PA Inf. Courtesy of the Library of Congress.\nIt is also important to note that unlike many Hollywood or reenactment portrayals, while a regiment may have started a fight in a perfect, by the book line of battle. When the firing began, especially in regiments who had already \u2018seen the elephant\u2019 (a period term for having been in combat), the organization became less tight as men tried to keep in a line, but really moved as they so pleased. Lieutenant Charles Fuller of the 61st New York saw this happen to his veteran regiment in the Wheatfield, perhaps the bloodiest part of the battlefield, at Gettysburg.\n\u201cIn battle the tendency is almost universal for the men to work out of a good line into clumps. The men of natural daring will rather crowd to the front, and those cast in more timid or retiring molds almost automatically edge back and slip in behind. Hence the necessity of not alone commissioned officers in the rear to keep the men out in two ranks, but sergeants as well.\u201d[3]\nSure, we think about men fearlessly marching into battle but, as indicated by Fuller, not all of the men who fought in these battles were soldiers at heart. One of the many things forgotten about the average Civil War soldier was that he was usually a volunteer. While the soldiers of the war are idolized and praised for their valor and bravery in combat, they were still human, with the same fears and cautiousness anyone would experience after being placed in a combat situation.\nA good historian must always learn to take things with a grain of salt. This is the case with much of what is perceived about combat in the Civil War, as well as with many other topics throughout history. While we constantly hear the harrowing, first person accounts of how intense the fighting was, we need to remain objective. We have to take these accounts and then apply scientific and mathematical resources to verify them. Applying this technique to the Civil War, we know that while there were tons of projectiles flying through the air, it was not the case that they all hit their target. In fact, the vast majority in fact didn\u2019t. Civil War battles were truly horrific events, but there was much more to how they were fought, and how they were won, then how many men were getting hit.\nThis entry was posted in Arms & Armaments, Battlefields & Historic Places, Battles, Civil War Events, Common Soldier, Memory and tagged Battle of Stones River, George Washington, Napoleon, William Rosecrans.

        "title": "Face to face with Milos Riha : News : Kontinental Hockey League (KHL)",
        "raw_content": "Face to face with Milos Riha\nIt is becoming a tradition for SKA players to spend the first training tour of their preseason preparations in the Czech Republic, and this year the destination is Havlickuv Brod, a small town about 75 miles from Prague. But the men from Saint Petersburg are here on business, not pleasure, and have been putting in four training sessions every day. Only at the weekend did the coaching staff lighten the workload: on Saturday the team had one session out on the ice, and on Sunday the activity was limited to an hour\u2019s indoor fitness training followed by a light cross-country run along the shores of a picturesque lake not far from the arena. With the weekend\u2019s coaching done, SKA head coach Milos Riha was free to give an interview to the KHL press service.\n\u201cWhat factors do you have in mind when choosing a destination for your preseason tours?\u201d\n\u201cOf course we try to make sure everything the team needs is there: a good hotel, good food, and a decent arena where we can do various kinds of exercise and practice. We like it in Havlickuv Brod. It is a peaceful little town with all the facilities we need for training.\u201d\n\u201cYour assistant, Andrey Potaychuk, in a recent interview described SKA\u2019s training sessions as grueling. Do you agree?\u201d\n\u201cI don\u2019t think our training methods differ that much from last year\u2019s. We want the guys to put in a large volume of work to get a good level of physical fitness. Yes, we have brought in some new exercises which in the long term will help the guys prepare better for a game.\u201d\n\u201cDo you have any players that are struggling to keep up with the training?\u201d\n\u201cWe have none of those. All our guys returned from vacation in good shape, since they knew that we would set them a heavy workload from the very first day back in training. We\u2019re training four times a day, and so far I have seen no sign of any problems with the players.\u201d\n\u201cEvery summer SKA has surprised and delighted the fans with a big signing. Why has the club been so modest in the transfer market this year?\u201d\n\u201cI\u2019m not really the one to answer that question. Sure, we had a shopping list of players we\u2019d like to have, but for various reasons we could not make an offer for all of them. But we are still trying to sign one well-known player, a famous player.\u201d\n\u201cIn the spring Vladimir Tarasenko decided to leave for America. Do you approve of his choice?\u201d\n\u201cIt was his decision and his choice. In my view, he was a little hasty. I believe he could have stayed another couple of years in the KHL and matured as a player, but he decided otherwise. I can only wish him luck.\u201d\n\u201cAre you counting on the return of Viktor Tikhonov?\u201d\n\u201cTo be honest, for the coming season I wanted to build our game around Tarasenko and Tikhonov. I would have liked to play them in the second or third line and give them a lot of ice time. But I don\u2019t know if Tikhonov is coming back; he\u2019s still thinking about where he wants to continue his career.\u201d\n\u201cYou let Kirill Koltsov leave and you brought in Kevin Dallman. Is it a good exchange, in your view?\u201d\n\u201cI think we did everything right. Yes, Kirill notched up a lot of points, but there were parts of his defensive play we weren\u2019t happy with. Last season all our defenders were left-handers, and now we have Dallman and Chudinov \u2013 both right-handed, and that\u2019s a big plus for the team.\u201d\n\u201cAre you happy that there are no new goaltenders? There are rumors about SKA being interested in Pavelec\u2026\u201d\n\u201cWe have faith in Stepanek and Ezhov. They are young, so we\u2019re counting on them making progress and performing well.\u201d\n\u201cLast year Maxim Afinogenov\u2019s (left) performances drew quite a lot of criticism. Do you think he will find his peak form in the new season?\u201d\n\u201cLast year Maxim was injured and took a while to recover, so there was no way he could have played to his best. He put in a lot of work during his vacation, returned in superb condition and now in training he\u2019s one of the best. I\u2019m sure all that work won\u2019t be wasted and he\u2019ll play some great hockey.\u201d\n\u201cYou already have your full quota of five foreign players. Are you happy with them?\u201d\n\u201cSo far we have no plans to change anything, but over the course of the season anything is possible. I won\u2019t rule out finding someone who is better than those we have.\u201d\n\u201cYou have two exhibition matches coming up. What do you expect from these games, and what kind of hockey do you want to see from your team?\u201d\n\u201cYou understand that the result won\u2019t matter to us. These matches are part of our training process. We\u2019ll definitely use two lines of youngsters, to give these players a chance to prove themselves. Games like these help us to determine which of our young players should stay with the first team.\u201d\nSKA will play twice this week: on the 24th of July the Petersburg men face KHL new boys Slovan Bratislava in the Slovak capital, and then return to the Czech Republic for a game on the 26th in Brno against local side HC Kometa.\nVladimirSamokhin in Havlickuv Brod, special for khl.ru",

        "raw_content": "An investment bank is a financial services company or corporate division that engages in advisory-based financial transactions on behalf of individuals, corporations, and governments. Traditionally associated with corporate finance, such a bank might assist in raising financial capital by underwriting or acting as the client's agent in the issuance of securities. An investment bank may also assist companies involved in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and provide ancillary services such as market making, trading of derivatives and equity securities, and FICC services (fixed income instruments, currencies, and commodities). Most investment banks maintain prime brokerage and asset management departments in conjunction with their investment research businesses. As an industry it is broken up into the Bulge Bracket (upper tier), Middle Market (mid-level businesses), and boutique market (specialized businesses).\nUnlike commercial banks and retail banks, investment banks do not take deposits. From the passage of Glass\u2013Steagall Act in 1933 until its repeal in 1999 by the Gramm\u2013Leach\u2013Bliley Act, the United States maintained a separation between investment banking and commercial banks. Other industrialized countries, including G7 countries, have historically not maintained such a separation. As part of the Dodd\u2013Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (Dodd\u2013Frank Act of 2010), the Volcker Rule asserts some institutional separation of investment banking services from commercial banking.[1]\nAll investment banking activity is classed as either \"sell side\" or \"buy side\". The \"sell side\" involves trading securities for cash or for other securities (e.g. facilitating transactions, market-making), or the promotion of securities (e.g. underwriting, research, etc.). The \"buy side\" involves the provision of advice to institutions that buy investment services. Private equity funds, mutual funds, life insurance companies, unit trusts, and hedge funds are the most common types of buy-side entities.\nAn investment bank can also be split into private and public functions with a Chinese wall separating the two to prevent information from crossing. The private areas of the bank deal with private insider information that may not be publicly disclosed, while the public areas, such as stock analysis, deal with public information. An advisor who provides investment banking services in the United States must be a licensed broker-dealer and subject to U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) regulation.[2]\nSee also: Economic history of the Dutch Republic and Financial history of the Dutch Republic\nThe Dutch East India Company was the first company to issue bonds and shares of stock to the general public. It was also the first publicly traded company, being the first company to be listed on an official stock exchange. The Dutch also helped lay the foundations of the modern practice of investment banking.[3][4][5]\nSee also: History of investment banking in the United States\nInvestment banking has changed over the years, beginning as a partnership firm focused on underwriting security issuance, i.e. initial public offerings (IPOs) and secondary market offerings, brokerage, and mergers and acquisitions, and evolving into a \"full-service\" range including securities research, proprietary trading, and investment management. In the 21st century, the SEC filings of the major independent investment banks such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley reflect three product segments: (1) investment banking (mergers and acquisitions, advisory services and securities underwriting), (2) asset management (sponsored investment funds), and (3) trading and principal investments (broker-dealer activities, including proprietary trading (\"dealer\" transactions) and brokerage trading (\"broker\" transactions)).[6]\nIn the United States, commercial banking and investment banking were separated by the Glass\u2013Steagall Act, which was repealed in 1999. The repeal led to more \"universal banks\" offering an even greater range of services. Many large commercial banks have therefore developed investment banking divisions through acquisitions and hiring. Notable large banks with significant investment banks include JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, UBS, and Barclays. After the financial crisis of 2007\u201308 and the subsequent passage of the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010, regulations have limited certain investment banking operations, notably with the Volcker Rule's restrictions on proprietary trading.[7]\nThe traditional service of underwriting security issues has declined as a percentage of revenue. As far back as 1960, 70% of Merrill Lynch's revenue was derived from transaction commissions while \"traditional investment banking\" services accounted for 5%. However, Merrill Lynch was a relatively \"retail-focused\" firm with a large brokerage network.[7]\nCore investment banking activitiesEdit\nInvestment banking is split into front office, middle office, and back office activities. While large service investment banks offer all lines of business, both \"sell side\" and \"buy side\", smaller sell-side investment firms such as boutique investment banks and small broker-dealers focus on investment banking and sales/trading/research, respectively.\nInns issuing securities and investors buying securities. For corporations, investment bankers offer information on when and how to place their securities on the open market, an activity very important to an investment bank's reputation. Therefore, investment bankers play a very important role in issuing new security offerings.[7]\nFront officeEdit\nFront office is generally described as a revenue-generating role. There are two main areas within front office: investment banking and markets[8]\nInvestment banking involves advising organizations on mergers and acquisitions, as well as a wide array of capital raising strategies.\nMarkets is divided into \"sales and trading\" (including \"structuring\"), and \"research\".\nCorporate financeEdit\nCorporate finance is the aspect of investment banks, which involves helping customers raise funds in capital markets and giving advice on mergers and acquisitions (M&A); this may involve subscribing investors to a security issuance, coordinating with bidders, or negotiating with a merger target. A pitch book of financial information is generated to market the bank to a potential M&A client; if the pitch is successful, the bank arranges the deal for the client. The investment banking division (IBD) is generally divided into industry coverage and product coverage groups. Industry coverage groups focus on a specific industry\u2014such as healthcare, public finance (governments), FIG (financial institutions group), industrials, TMT (technology, media, and telecommunications), P&E (power & energy), consumer/retail, food & beverage, corporate defense and governance\u2014and maintain relationships with corporations within the industry to bring in business for the bank. Product coverage groups focus on financial products\u2014such as mergers and acquisitions, leveraged finance, public finance, asset finance and leasing, structured finance, restructuring, equity, and high-grade debt\u2014and generally work and collaborate with industry groups on the more intricate and specialized needs of a client.\nSales and tradingEdit\nOn behalf of the bank and its clients, a large investment bank's primary function is buying and selling products.[9] In market making, traders will buy and sell financial products with the goal of making money on each trade. Sales is the term for the investment bank's sales force, whose primary job is to call on institutional and high-net-worth investors to suggest trading ideas (on a caveat emptor basis) and take orders. Sales desks then communicate their clients' orders to the appropriate trading rooms, which can price and execute trades, or structure new products that fit a specific need. Structuring has been a relatively recent activity as derivatives have come into play, with highly technical and numerate employees working on creating complex structured products which typically offer much greater margins and returns than underlying cash securities. In 2010, investment banks came under pressure as a result of selling complex derivatives contracts to local municipalities in Europe and the US.[10] Strategists advise external as well as internal clients on the strategies that can be adopted in various markets. Ranging from derivatives to specific industries, strategists place companies and industries in a quantitative framework with full consideration of the macroeconomic scene. This strategy often affects the way the firm will operate in the market, the direction it would like to take in terms of its proprietary and flow positions, the suggestions salespersons give to clients, as well as the way structurers create new products. Banks also undertake risk through proprietary trading, performed by a special set of traders who do not interface with clients and through \"principal risk\"\u2014risk undertaken by a trader after he buys or sells a product to a client and does not hedge his total exposure. Banks seek to maximize profitability for a given amount of risk on their balance sheet. The necessity for numerical ability in sales and trading has created jobs for physics, computer science, mathematics and engineering Ph.D.s who act as quantitative analysts.\nThe securities research division reviews companies and writes reports about their prospects, often with \"buy\", \"hold\" or \"sell\" ratings. Investment banks typically have sell-side analysts which cover various industries. Their sponsored funds or proprietary trading offices will also have buy-side research. While the research division may or may not generate revenue (based on policies at different banks), its resources are used to assist traders in trading, the sales force in suggesting ideas to customers, and investment bankers by covering their clients.[citation needed] Research also serves outside clients with investment advice (such as institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals) in the hopes that these clients will execute suggested trade ideas through the sales and trading division of the bank, and thereby generate revenue for the firm. Research also covers credit research, fixed income research, macroeconomic research, and quantitative analysis, all of which are used internally and externally to advise clients but do not directly affect revenue. All research groups, nonetheless, provide a key service in terms of advisory and strategy. There is a potential conflict of interest between the investment bank and its analysis, in that published analysis can impact the performance of a security (in the secondary markets or an initial public offering) or influence the relationship between the banker and its corporate clients, thereby affecting the bank's profitability .[citation needed]\nMiddle officeEdit\nRisk management involves analyzing the market and credit risk that an investment bank or its clients take onto their balance sheet during transactions or trades. Credit risk focuses around capital markets activities, such as syndicated loans, bond issuance, restructuring, and leveraged finance. Market risk conducts review of sales and trading activities utilizing the VaR model and provide hedge-fund solutions to portfolio managers. Other risk groups include country risk, operational risk, and counterparty risks which may or may not exist on a bank to bank basis. Credit risk solutions are key part of capital market transactions, involving debt structuring, exit financing, loan amendment, project finance, leveraged buy-outs, and sometimes portfolio hedging. Front office market risk activities provide service to investors via derivative solutions, portfolio management, portfolio consulting, and risk advisory. Well-known risk groups in JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs and Barclays engage in revenue-generating activities involving debt structuring, restructuring, syndicated loans, and securitization for clients such as corporates, governments, and hedge funds. J.P. Morgan IB Risk works with investment banking to execute transactions and advise investors, although its Finance & Operation risk groups focus on middle office functions involving internal, non-revenue generating, operational risk controls.[11][12][13] Credit default swap, for instance, is a famous credit risk hedging solution for clients invented by J.P. Morgan's Blythe Masters during the 1990s. The Loan Risk Solutions group[14] within Barclays' investment banking division and Risk Management and Financing group[15] housed in Goldman Sach's securities division are client-driven franchises. However, risk management groups such as operational risk, internal risk control, and legal risk are restrained to internal business functions including firm balance-sheet risk analysis and assigning trading cap that are independent of client needs, even though these groups may be responsible for deal approval that directly affects capital market activities. Risk management is a broad area, and like research, its roles can be client-facing or internal.\nThis area of the bank includes treasury management, internal controls, and internal corporate strategy.\nCorporate treasury is responsible for an investment bank's funding, capital structure management, and liquidity risk monitoring.\nInternal control tracks and analyzes the capital flows of the firm, the finance division is the principal adviser to senior management on essential areas such as controlling the firm's global risk exposure and the profitability and structure of the firm's various businesses via dedicated trading desk product control teams. In the United States and United Kingdom, a comptroller (or financial controller) is a senior position, often reporting to the chief financial officer.\nInternal corporate strategy tackling firm management and profit strategy, unlike corporate strategy groups that advise clients, is non-revenue regenerating yet a key functional role within investment banks.\nThis list is not a comprehensive summary of all middle-office functions within an investment bank, as specific desks within front and back offices may participate in internal functions.[16]\nBack officeEdit\nThe back office data-checks trades that have been conducted, ensuring that they are not wrong, and transacts the required transfers. Many banks have outsourced operations. It is, however, a critical part of the bank.[citation needed]\nEvery major investment bank has considerable amounts of in-house software, created by the technology team, who are also responsible for technical support. Technology has changed considerably in the last few years as more sales and trading desks are using electronic trading. Some trades are initiated by complex algorithms for hedging purposes.\nFirms are responsible for compliance with local and foreign government regulations and internal regulations.\nOther businessesEdit\nGlobal transaction banking is the division which provides cash management, custody services, lending, and securities brokerage services to institutions. Prime brokerage with hedge funds has been an especially profitable business, as well as risky, as seen in the bank run with Bear Stearns in 2008.\nInvestment management is the professional management of various securities (stocks, bonds, etc.) and other assets (e.g., real estate), to meet specified investment goals for the benefit of investors. Investors may be institutions (insurance companies, pension funds, corporations etc.) or private investors (both directly via investment contracts and more commonly via investment funds e.g., mutual funds). The investment management division of an investment bank is generally divided into separate groups, often known as private wealth management and private client services.\nMerchant banking can be called \"very personal banking\"; merchant banks offer capital in exchange for share ownership rather than loans, and offer advice on management and strategy. Merchant banking is also a name used to describe the private equity side of a firm.[17] Current examples include Defoe Fournier & Cie. and JPMorgan Chase's One Equity Partners. The original J.P. Morgan & Co., Rothschilds, Barings and Warburgs were all merchant banks. Originally, \"merchant bank\" was the British English term for an investment bank.\nIndustry profileEdit\nAs an industry it is broken up into the Bulge Bracket (upper tier), Middle Market (mid-level businesses), and boutique market (specialized businesses). There are various trade associations throughout the world which represent the industry in lobbying, facilitate industry standards, and publish statistics. The International Council of Securities Associations (ICSA) is a global group of trade associations.\nIn the United States, the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) is likely the most significant; however, several of the large investment banks are members of the American Bankers Association Securities Association (ABASA),[18] while small investment banks are members of the National Investment Banking Association (NIBA).\nIn Europe, the European Forum of Securities Associations was formed in 2007 by various European trade associations.[19] Several European trade associations (principally the London Investment Banking Association and the European SIFMA affiliate) combined in November 2009 to form the Association for Financial Markets in Europe (AFME).[20]\nIn the securities industry in China (particularly mainland China), the Securities Association of China is a self-regulatory organization whose members are largely investment banks.\nGlobal size and revenue mixEdit\nGlobal investment banking revenue increased for the fifth year running in 2007, to a record US$84 billion, which was up 22% on the previous year and more than double the level in 2003.[21] Subsequent to their exposure to United States sub-prime securities investments, many investment banks have experienced losses. As of late 2012, global revenues for investment banks were estimated at $240 billion, down about a third from 2009, as companies pursued less deals and traded less.[22] Differences in total revenue are likely due to different ways of classifying investment banking revenue, such as subtracting proprietary trading revenue.\nIn terms of total revenue, SEC filings of the major independent investment banks in the United States show that investment banking (defined as M&A advisory services and security underwriting) only made up about 15\u201320% of total revenue for these banks from 1996 to 2006, with the majority of revenue (60+% in some years) brought in by \"trading\" which includes brokerage commissions and proprietary trading; the proprietary trading is estimated to provide a significant portion of this revenue.[6]\nThe United States generated 46% of global revenue in 2009, down from 56% in 1999. Europe (with Middle East and Africa) generated about a third while Asian countries generated the remaining 21%.[21]:8 The industry is heavily concentrated in a small number of major financial centers, including New York City, City of London, Frankfurt, Hong Kong, and Tokyo. The majority of the world's largest Bulge Bracket investment banks and their investment managers are headquartered in New York and are also important participants in other financial centers.[23] The city of London has historically served as a hub of European M&A activity, often facilitating the most capital movement and corporate restructuring in the area.[24][25] Meanwhile, Asian cities are receiving a growing share of M&A activity.\nAccording to estimates published by the International Financial Services London, for the decade prior to the financial crisis in 2008, M&A was a primary source of investment banking revenue, often accounting for 40% of such revenue, but dropped during and after the financial crisis.[21]:9 Equity underwriting revenue ranged from 30% to 38% and fixed-income underwriting accounted for the remaining revenue.[21]:9\nRevenues have been affected by the introduction of new products with higher margins; however, these innovations are often copied quickly by competing banks, pushing down trading margins. For example, brokerages commissions for bond and equity trading is a commodity business but structuring and trading derivatives has higher margins because each over-the-counter contract has to be uniquely structured and could involve complex pay-off and risk profiles. One growth area is private investment in public equity (PIPEs, otherwise known as Regulation D or Regulation S). Such transactions are privately negotiated between companies and accredited investors.\nBanks also earned revenue by securitizing debt, particularly mortgage debt prior to the financial crisis. Investment banks have become concerned that lenders are securitizing in-house, driving the investment banks to pursue vertical integration by becoming lenders, which is allowed in the United States since the repeal of the Glass\u2013Steagall Act in 1999.[26]\nTop 10 banksEdit\nFurther information: List of investment banks \u00a7 Largest full-service investment banks, and Bulge Bracket \u00a7 Membership\nMany of the largest investment banks, including JPMorgan Chase, belong to the Bulge Bracket.\nAccording to the Financial Times, in terms of total advisory fees for the whole of 2017, the top ten investment banks were:[27] Many of these firms belong either to the Bulge Bracket (upper tier), Middle Market (mid-level businesses), or are boutique investment banks (specialized businesses).\nFees ($m)\nJ.P.

Mergers and acquisitions and capital markets are also often covered by The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg.\nGlobal market share of revenue of leading investment[28]\ninstitutions percentage\nFinancial crisis of 2007\u20132008Edit\nThe 2008 financial credit crisis led to the collapse of several notable investment banks, such as the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers (one of the largest investment banks in the world) and the hurried sale of Merrill Lynch and the much smaller Bear Stearns to much larger banks, which effectively rescued them from bankruptcy. The entire financial services industry, including numerous investment banks, was rescued by government loans through the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). Surviving U.S. investment banks such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley converted to traditional bank holding companies to accept TARP relief.[29] Similar situations occurred across the globe with countries rescuing their banking industry. Initially, banks received part of a $700 billion TARP intended to stabilize the economy and thaw the frozen credit markets.[30] Eventually, taxpayer assistance to banks reached nearly $13 trillion, most without much scrutiny,[31] lending did not increase[32] and credit markets remained frozen.[33]\nThe crisis led to questioning of the business model of the investment bank[34] without the regulation imposed on it by Glass\u2013Steagall.[neutrality is disputed] Once Robert Rubin, a former co-chairman of Goldman Sachs, became part of the Clinton administration and deregulated banks, the previous conservatism of underwriting established companies and seeking long-term gains was replaced by lower standards and short-term profit.[35] Formerly, the guidelines said that in order to take a company public, it had to be in business for a minimum of five years and it had to show profitability for three consecutive years. After deregulation, those standards were gone, but small investors did not grasp the full impact of the change.[35]\nA number of former Goldman Sachs top executives, such as Henry Paulson and Ed Liddy were in high-level positions in government and oversaw the controversial taxpayer-funded bank bailout.[35] The TARP Oversight Report released by the Congressional Oversight Panel found that the bailout tended to encourage risky behavior and \"corrupt[ed] the fundamental tenets of a market economy\".[36]\nUnder threat of a subpoena, Goldman Sachs revealed that it received $12.9 billion in taxpayer aid, $4.3 billion of which was then paid out to 32 entities, including many overseas banks, hedge funds and pensions.[37] The same year it received $10 billion in aid from the government, it also paid out multimillion-dollar bonuses; the total paid in bonuses was $4.82 billion.[38][39] Similarly, Morgan Stanley received $10 billion in TARP funds and paid out $4.475 billion in bonuses.[40]\nThe investment banking industry, and many individual investment banks, have come under criticism for a variety of reasons, including perceived conflicts of interest, overly large pay packages, cartel-like or oligopolic behavior, taking both sides in transactions, and more.[41] Investment banking has also been criticised for its opacity.[42]\nConflicts of interestEdit\nConflicts of interest may arise between different parts of a bank, creating the potential for market manipulation, according to critics. Authorities that regulate investment banking, such as the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the United Kingdom and the SEC in the United States, require that banks impose a \"Chinese wall\" to prevent communication between investment banking on one side and equity research and trading on the other. However, critics say such a barrier does not always exist in practice. Independent advisory firms that exclusively provide corporate finance advice argue that their advice is not conflicted, unlike bulge bracket banks.\nConflicts of interest often arise in relation to investment banks' equity research units, which have long been part of the industry. A common practice is for equity analysts to initiate coverage of a company in order to develop relationships that lead to highly profitable investment banking business. In the 1990s, many equity researchers allegedly traded positive stock ratings for investment banking business. Alternatively, companies may threaten to divert investment banking business to competitors unless their stock was rated favorably. Laws were passed to criminalize such acts, and increased pressure from regulators and a series of lawsuits, settlements, and prosecutions curbed this business to a large extent following the 2001 stock market tumble after the dot-com bubble.\nPhilip Augar, author of The Greed Merchants, said in an interview that, \"You cannot simultaneously serve the interest of issuer clients and investing clients. And it\u2019s not just underwriting and sales; investment banks run proprietary trading operations that are also making a profit out of these securities.\"[41]\nMany investment banks also own retail brokerages. During the 1990s, some retail brokerages sold consumers securities which did not meet their stated risk profile. This behavior may have led to investment banking business or even sales of surplus shares during a public offering to keep public perception of the stock favorable.\nSince investment banks engage heavily in trading for their own account, there is always the temptation for them to engage in some form of front running \u2013 the illegal practice whereby a broker executes orders for their own account before filling orders previously submitted by their customers, thereby benefiting from any changes in prices induced by those orders.\nDocuments under seal in a decade-long lawsuit concerning eToys.com's IPO but obtained by New York Times' Wall Street Business columnist Joe Nocera alleged that IPOs managed by Goldman Sachs and other investment bankers involved asking for kickbacks from their institutional clients who made large profits flipping IPOs which Goldman had intentionally undervalued. Depositions in the lawsuit alleged that clients willingly complied with these demands because they understood it was necessary in order to participate in future hot issues.[43] Reuters Wall Street correspondent Felix Salmon retracted his earlier, more conciliatory, statements on the subject and said he believed that the depositions show that companies going public and their initial consumer stockholders are both defrauded by this practice, which may be widespread throughout the IPO finance industry.[44] The case is ongoing, and the allegations remain unproven.\nInvestment banking is often criticized for the enormous pay packages awarded to those who work in the industry. According to Bloomberg Wall Street's five biggest firms paid over $3 billion to their executives from 2003 to 2008, \"while they presided over the packaging and sale of loans that helped bring down the investment-banking system.\" [45]\nThe highly generous pay packages include $172 million for Merrill Lynch & Co. CEO Stanley O'Neal from 2003 to 2007, before it was bought by Bank of America in 2008, and $161 million for Bear Stearns Co.'s James Cayne before the bank collapsed and was sold to JPMorgan Chase & Co. in June 2008.[45]\nSuch pay arrangements have attracted the ire of Democrats and Republicans in the United States Congress, who demanded limits on executive pay in 2008 when the U.S. government was bailing out the industry with a $700 billion financial rescue package.[45]\nWriting in the Global Association of Risk Professionals, Aaron Brown, a vice president at Morgan Stanley, says \"By any standard of human fairness, of course, investment bankers make obscene amounts of money.\" [41]\nInvestment Banking Exam\n^ root (2008-11-19). \"Investment Banking Definition | Investopedia (WATCH THE VIDEO)\".

        "raw_content": "The Pulitzer Prize for Drama is one of the seven American Pulitzer Prizes that are annually awarded for Letters, Drama, and Music. It is one of the original Pulitzers, for the program was inaugurated in 1917 with seven prizes, four of which were awarded that year.[1] (No Drama prize was given, however, so that one was inaugurated in 1918, in a sense.)[2] It recognizes a theatrical work staged in the U.S. during the preceding calendar year.\nThrough 2006 the Drama Prize was unlike the majority of the other Pulitzer Prizes: during these years, the eligibility period for the drama prize ran from March 1 to March 2, to reflect the Broadway 'season' rather than the calendar year. The decision was made, however, that the 2007 Prize would consider works staged during an eligibility period of January 1 to December 31, 2006\u2014thus bringing the schedule for the Drama Prize in line with those of the other prizes.\nThe drama jury, which consists of one academic and four critics, attends plays in New York and in regional theaters. The Pulitzer board has the authority to overrule the jury's choice, however, as happened in 1986 when the jury chose the CIVIL warS to receive the prize, but due to the board's opposition no award was given.\nIn 1955 Joseph Pulitzer, Jr. pressured the prize jury into presenting the Prize to Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, which the jury considered the weakest of the five shortlisted nominees (\"amateurishly constructed... from the stylistic points of view annoyingly pretentious\"), instead of Clifford Odets' The Flowering Peach (their preferred choice) or The Bad Seed, their second choice.[3] Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? was selected for the 1963 Pulitzer Prize for Drama by that award's committee. However, the committee's selection was overruled by the award's advisory board, the trustees of Columbia University, because of the play's then-controversial use of profanity and sexual themes. Had Albee been awarded, he would be tied with Eugene O'Neill for the most Pulitzer Prizes for Drama (four).\nIn its first 98 years to 2013, the Drama Pulitzer was awarded 82 times; none were given in 15 years and it was never split. Many of the prizes were won by multiple people for their collaboration, as many as five in 1976.[2]\n* Star marks winners of the annual Tony Award for Best Play or Best Musical.\n1917: no award[1]\n1918: Why Marry? \u2013 Jesse Lynch Williams\n1920: Beyond the Horizon \u2013 Eugene O'Neill\n1921: Miss Lulu Bett \u2013 Zona Gale\n1922: Anna Christie \u2013 Eugene O'Neill\n1923: Icebound \u2013 Owen Davis\n1924: Hell-Bent Fer Heaven \u2013 Hatcher Hughes\n1925: They Knew What They Wanted \u2013 Sidney Howard\n1926: Craig's Wife \u2013 George Kelly\n1927: In Abraham's Bosom \u2013 Paul Green\n1928: Strange Interlude \u2013 Eugene O'Neill\n1929: Street Scene \u2013 Elmer Rice\n1930: The Green Pastures \u2013 Marc Connelly\n1931: Alison's House \u2013 Susan Glaspell\n1932: Of Thee I Sing \u2013 George S.

They are: George and Ira Gershwin's Of Thee I Sing (1932), Rodgers and Hammerstein's South Pacific (1950), Bock & Harnick's Fiorello! (1960), Frank Loesser's How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (1962), Marvin Hamlisch, Edward Kleban, James Kirkwood, Jr., and Nicholas Dante's A Chorus Line (1976), Stephen Sondheim's and James Lapine's Sunday in the Park with George (1985), Jonathan Larson's Rent (1996), Brian Yorkey and Tom Kitt's Next to Normal (2010), and Lin-Manuel Miranda's Hamilton (2016).\nOf Thee I Sing, Sunday in the Park with George, and Next to Normal are the only musicals that won the Pulitzer Prize and did not win the Tony Award for Best Musical. However, Of Thee I Sing opened when the Tony Awards did not exist, and Next to Normal won the Tony Award for Best Original Score and the Tony Award for Best Orchestrations.[5]\nThe award goes to the playwright, although production of the play is also taken into account. In the case of a musical being awarded the prize, the composer, lyricist and book writer are generally the recipients. An exception to this was the first Pulitzer ever awarded to a musical: when Of Thee I Sing won in 1932, book authors George S. Kaufman and Morrie Ryskind, as well as lyricist Ira Gershwin, were cited as the winners, while composer George Gershwin's contribution was overlooked by the committee. The reason given was that the Pulitzer Prize for Drama is a dramatic award, and not a musical one. However, by 1950 the Pulitzer committee included composer Richard Rodgers as a recipient when South Pacific won the award, in recognition of music as an integral and important part of the theatrical experience.[6]\nAdditionally, since 1983, when the identity of finalists was first disclosed, three musicals have been finalists for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. They are: Lee Breuer and Bob Telson's The Gospel at Colonus (1985); Lin-Manuel Miranda and Quiara Alegr\u00eda Hudes' In the Heights (2009); and Jeanine Tesori and Lisa Kron's Fun Home (2014).[2] The latter two shows, however, each won the Tony Award for Best Musical.\n\u00b9All listed dates are Prize years. Generally, the musical in question opened in New York during either the preceding calendar year or the preceding Broadway season.\nRepeat winnersEdit\nEugene O'Neill won the Pulitzer for Drama four times, three in the 1920s.

        "raw_content": "\"Animal hospital\" redirects here. For the BBC television show, see Animal Hospital.\nA veterinary technician in Ethiopia shows the owner of an ailing donkey how to sanitize the site of infection.\nVeterinary medicine is the branch of medicine that deals with the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease, disorder and injury in non-human animals. The scope of veterinary medicine is wide, covering all animal species, both domesticated and wild, with a wide range of conditions which can affect different species.\nVeterinary medicine is widely practiced, both with and without professional supervision. Professional care is most often led by a veterinary physician (also known as a vet, veterinary surgeon or veterinarian), but also by paraveterinary workers such as veterinary nurses or technicians. This can be augmented by other paraprofessionals with specific specialisms such as animal physiotherapy or dentistry, and species relevant roles such as farriers.\nVeterinary science helps human health through the monitoring and control of zoonotic disease (infectious disease transmitted from non-human animals to humans), food safety, and indirectly through human applications from basic medical research. They also help to maintain food supply through livestock health monitoring and treatment, and mental health by keeping pets healthy and long living. Veterinary scientists often collaborate with epidemiologists, and other health or natural scientists depending on type of work. Ethically, veterinarians are usually obliged to look after animal welfare.\nPremodern eraEdit\nArcheological evidence, in the form of a cow skull upon which trepanation had been performed, shows that people were performing veterinary procedures in the Neolithic (3400-3000 BCE).[1]\nManuscript page of Hippiatrica (14th century)\nThe Egyptian Papyrus of Kahun (Twelfth Dynasty of Egypt) is the first extant record of veterinary medicine.[2] The Shalihotra Samhita, dating from the time of Ashoka, is an early Indian veterinary treatise. The edicts of Asoka read: \"Everywhere King Piyadasi (Asoka) made two kinds of medicine (\u091a\u093f\u0915\u093f\u0924\u094d\u0938\u093e) available, medicine for people and medicine for animals. Where there were no healing herbs for people and animals, he ordered that they be bought and planted.\"[3]Hippiatrica is a Byzantine compilation of hippiatrics, dated to the 5th or 6th century.[citation needed]\nThe first attempts to organize and regulate the practice of treating animals tended to focus on horses because of their economic significance. In the Middle Ages, farriers combined their work in horseshoeing with the more general task of \"horse doctoring\". The Arabic tradition of Bay\u1e6dara, or Shiy\u0101t al-Khayl, originates with the treatise of Ibn Akh\u012b Hiz\u0101m (fl. late 9th century).\nIn 1356, the Lord Mayor of London, concerned at the poor standard of care given to horses in the city, requested that all farriers operating within a seven-mile radius of the City of London form a \"fellowship\" to regulate and improve their practices. This ultimately led to the establishment of the Worshipful Company of Farriers in 1674.[4]\nMeanwhile, Carlo Ruini's book Anatomia del Cavallo, (Anatomy of the Horse) was published in 1598. It was the first comprehensive treatise on the anatomy of a non-human species.[5]\nEstablishment of professionEdit\nClaude Bourgelat established the earliest veterinary school in Lyon in 1762.\nThe first veterinary school was founded in Lyon, France in 1762 by Claude Bourgelat.[6] According to Lupton,[7] after observing the devastation being caused by cattle plague to the French herds, Bourgelat devoted his time to seeking out a remedy. This resulted in his founding a veterinary school in Lyon in 1761, from which establishment he dispatched students to combat the disease; in a short time, the plague was stayed and the health of stock restored, through the assistance rendered to agriculture by veterinary science and art.\"[7] The school received immediate international recognition in the eighteenth century and its pedagogical model drew on the existing fields of human medicine, natural history, and comparative anatomy.[8]\nThe Odiham Agricultural Society was founded in 1783 in England to promote agriculture and industry,[9] and played an important role in the foundation of the veterinary profession in Britain. A founding member, Thomas Burgess, began to take up the cause of animal welfare and campaign for the more humane treatment of sick animals.[10] A 1785 Society meeting resolved to \"promote the study of Farriery upon rational scientific principles.\"\nThe physician James Clark wrote a treatise entitled Prevention of Disease in which he argued for the professionalization of the veterinary trade, and the establishment of veterinary colleges. This was finally achieved in 1790, through the campaigning of Granville Penn, who persuaded the Frenchman, Benoit Vial de St. Bel to accept the professorship of the newly established Veterinary College in London.[9] The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons was established by royal charter in 1844. Veterinary science came of age in the late 19th century, with notable contributions from Sir John McFadyean, credited by many as having been the founder of modern Veterinary research.[11]\nIn the United States, the first schools were established in the early 19th century in Boston, New York and Philadelphia. In 1879, Iowa Agricultural College became the first land grant college to establish a school of veterinary medicine.[12]\nVeterinary workersEdit\nVeterinary physiciansEdit\nMain article: Veterinary physician\nSurgery on a dog\nVeterinary care and management is usually led by a veterinary physician (usually called a vet, veterinary surgeon or veterinarian). This role is the equivalent of a doctor in human medicine, and usually involves post-graduate study and qualification.\nIn many countries, the local nomenclature for a vet is a protected term, meaning that people without the prerequisite qualifications and/or registration are not able to use the title, and in many cases, the activities that may be undertaken by a vet (such as animal treatment or surgery) are restricted only to those people who are registered as vet. For instance, in the United Kingdom, as in other jurisdictions, animal treatment may only be performed by registered vets (with a few designated exceptions, such as paraveterinary workers), and it is illegal for any person who is not registered to call themselves a vet or perform any treatment.\nMost vets work in clinical settings, treating animals directly. These vets may be involved in a general practice, treating animals of all types; may be specialized in a specific group of animals such as companion animals, livestock, laboratory animals, zoo animals or horses; or may specialize in a narrow medical discipline such as surgery, dermatology, laboratory animal medicine, or internal medicine.\nAs with healthcare professionals, vets face ethical decisions about the care of their patients. Current debates within the profession include the ethics of purely cosmetic procedures on animals, such as declawing of cats, docking of tails, cropping of ears and debarking on dogs.\nA wide range of surgeries and operations are performed on various types of animals, but not all of them are carried out by vets. In a case in Iran, for instance, an eye surgeon managed to perform a successful cataract surgery on a rooster for the first time in the world.[13]\nParaveterinary workersEdit\nUS and South African army veterinary technicians prepare a dog for spaying.\nMain article: Paraveterinary workers\nParaveterinary workers, including veterinary nurses, technicians and assistants, either assist vets in their work, or may work within their own scope of practice, depending on skills and qualifications, including in some cases, performing minor surgery.\nThe role of paraveterinary workers is less homogeneous globally than that of a vet, and qualification levels, and the associated skill mix, vary widely.\nAllied professionsEdit\nA number of professions exist within the scope of veterinary medicine, but which may not necessarily be performed by vets or veterinary nurses. This includes those performing roles which are also found in human medicine, such as practitioners dealing with musculoskeletal disorders, including osteopaths, chiropractors and physiotherapists.\nThere are also roles which are specific to animals, but which have parallels in human society, such as animal grooming and animal massage.\nSome roles are specific to a species or group of animals, such as farriers, who are involved in the shoeing of horses, and in many cases have a major role to play in ensuring the medical fitness of the horse.\nVeterinary researchEdit\nAn eye exam of a kitten under way prior to the kitten's adoption.\nVeterinary research includes research on prevention, control, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases of animals and on the basic biology, welfare, and care of animals. Veterinary research transcends species boundaries and includes the study of spontaneously occurring and experimentally induced models of both human and animal disease and research at human-animal interfaces, such as food safety, wildlife and ecosystem health, zoonotic diseases, and public policy.[14]\nClinical veterinary researchEdit\nAs in medicine, randomized controlled trials are fundamental also in veterinary medicine to establish the effectiveness of a treatment.[15] However, clinical veterinary research is far behind human medical research, with fewer randomized controlled trials, that have a lower quality and that are mostly focused on research animals.[16] Possible improvement consists in creation of network for inclusion of private veterinary practices in randomized controlled trials.\nVeterinary medicine portal\nAnimal drug\nTechnology in Veterinary Medicine\nVeterinary medicine in the United Kingdom\nVeterinary medicine in the United States\nHistory of veterinary medicine in Pennsylvania\nHistory of veterinary medicine in the Philippines\n^ Ramirez Rozzi, Fernando; Froment, Alain (19 April 2018). \"Earliest Animal Cranial Surgery: from Cow to Man in the Neolithic\".

        "raw_content": "Mehfil (also spelled mahfil) is an evening of courtly entertainment poetry or concert of Indian classical music and Pakistani classical music (particularly Hindustani classical music) and dance, performed for a small audience in an intimate setting.\nHistorically, mehfils were presented in the homes or palaces of Muslim royalty or noblemen, who acted as these artists' patrons.[1] Mehfils are also an integral part of the Hyderabadi Muslim community, and used as a way of unity among them, all around the world.[2]\nToday they are generally held in the homes of especially avid music lovers or the lovers of poetry-recitation gatherings. Ghazals are a common genre performed at mehfils. Ghazal recitation gatherings are called 'Mehfil-e-Mushaira' in the Urdu language.\nThe word mehfil derives from the Arabic word mehfil (Arabic: \u0645\u062d\u0641\u0644\u200e), which means a (festive) \"gathering to entertain (or praise someone).\"\nMehfil-e-Naat is an Islamic mehfil (forum) in which people sit and recite poetry in the praise of the Prophet Muhammad.\nMehfil-e-Sama is a gathering held for Sufi devotional music such as Qawwali or prayer and chanting, Hadhra, part of Dhikr (remembrance of God).\nSeveral mehfil performances may be seen in the Satyajit Ray film Jalsaghar (1958).

It was established in c. 800, and its capital was Corinth.[1]\n1.1 Slavic invasions and settlements\n1.2 Formation and evolution of the theme\nSlavic invasions and settlements[edit]\nFrom 27 BC until the end of the 6th century, the Peloponnese formed part of the province of Achaea, which during Late Antiquity comprised also the eastern parts of Central Greece. Its capital was Corinth.[2][3]\nFrom the 580s on, as attested in the Chronicle of Monemvasia, the Slavic invasions which affected the wider Balkans reached the peninsula, and led to the abandonment of the urban centres of Antiquity in favour of either remote or offshore locations like Monemvasia, while the inhabitants of several cities such as Patras are claimed by the Chronicle to have emigrated to Italy altogether. Along with statements by medieval chroniclers like Isidore of Seville and Constantine Porphyrogennetos that Greece had completely submitted to the Slavs, this led to assumptions by earlier scholars that collapse of Byzantine control was total, and that the Peloponnese remained outside imperial control for two centuries afterwards.[4][5] The literary evidence is partially confirmed by several buried coin hoards from the 570s/580s and early 7th century, which attest to large-scale upheaval in two waves, one that peaked ca. 587, the date provided by the Chronicle, and one that peaked in the far larger crisis of the reign of Heraclius (r. 610\u2013641).[6] Literary, toponymic and archaeological evidence on the other hand shows that the Slavic invaders settled mostly in the western half of the peninsula, i.e. the fertile plains of Elis and Messenia, Achaea and the plateau of Arcadia, while Byzantine authority survived in the more mountainous eastern parts of the peninsula as well as in various outposts around the coast, including Patras.[5][7] Nevertheless, as the rapid-re-Hellenization of the peninsula in the 9th century shows, a large Greek-speaking population must have remained in the areas overrun by the Slavs.[8]\nFormation and evolution of the theme[edit]\nSometime between 687 and 695, all remaining imperial territory in southern Greece came under the new theme of Hellas, which had a strongly maritime character, being composed of coastal territories and mostly oriented towards the sea.[9][10] In about 800, however, Hellas was split up, and while the name was retained for the territory comprising eastern Central Greece and Thessaly, the Peloponnese became a separate theme, with Corinth as the capital.[1][11] The formation of the new province is directly linked to the re-imposition of the Byzantine government's control over the Slavic tribes at this time. This was achieved by the victories of the strategos (military governor) Skleros in 805, as reported by the Chronicle of Monemvasia, and the failure of a Slavic siege of Patras at about the same time. Emperor Nikephoros I (r. 802\u2013811) followed up these successes with an extensive colonization and Christianization programme, which included the region's resettlement with Greeks from Italy and Asia Minor.[1][12][13]\nThe first known strategos of the Peloponnese is Leo Skleros, attested for 811 (possibly the same as, or a close relative of, the Skleros of 805), who may even be the first holder of the office.[1][14][15] The strategos of the Peloponnese ranked first in the hierarchy of the \"western\" (i.e. European) thematic governors.[16] The role of his administration was mostly controlling the Slavic tribes of the interior\u2014rebellions by the autonomous and tribute-paying Melingoi and Ezeritai tribes occurred in 840/42 and 921/22, the latter followed also by a rebellion of Slavic troops from Asia Minor[17][18]\u2014and defence against the Arab raids, which were frequent in the 9th and 10th centuries: among other subordinate officials, a tourmarches was charged with the defence of the coast and even had a naval squadron of four chelandia under his orders.[1][14]\nAfter the Byzantine reconquest of Crete in 961 put an end to the piratical emirate there, the Peloponnese prospered greatly.[14] From the late 10th century on, the thematic administration was often combined with that of Hellas, and in the late 11th century, this union became permanent, with both provinces coming under the control of the megas doux, the commander-in-chief of the Byzantine navy. Due to the latter's absence from the province, however, the local administration remained under the local praetor, a position often held by senior and distinguished officials like the legal scholars Alexios Aristenos and Nicholas Hagiotheodorites.[1][19] The joint theme of Hellas-Peloponnese was subdivided further during the 12th century into a series of smaller fiscal districts variously termed oria, chartoularata and episkepseis.a[\u203a] The Peloponnese remained under Byzantine control until the early 13th century (1205), when, in the aftermath of the Fourth Crusade, the Latin Principality of Achaea was established there.[14]\n^ a: The episkepseis were large domains allocated for the support of individuals, noble houses or churches and monasteries.[20] The oria were districts tasked with the maintenance of warships and crews for the navy. The chartoularata were districts placed under a chartoularios, and tasked with provisioning the imperial army with horses and pack animals. They also seem to have functioned as military assembly points, similar to the old metata and aplekta.[21]\n^ a b c d e f Nesbitt & Oikonomides 1994, p. 62.\n^ Koder & Hild 1976, pp. 50\u201351.\n^ Avramea 2012, pp. 57\u201367.\n^ Avramea 2012, pp. 135\u2013145.\n^ a b Fine 1991, pp. 59\u201360, 62.\n^ Fine 1991, pp. 63\u201364.\n^ Avramea 2012, pp. 69, 211ff..\n^ Kazhdan 1991, pp. 1620\u20131621.\n^ a b c d Kazhdan 1991, p. 1621.\n^ Pertusi 1952, pp. 172\u2013173.\n^ Pertusi 1952, p. 173.\n^ Herrin 2013, p. 16.\n^ Curta 2011, pp. 171\u2013173.\n^ Magdalino 2002, p. 234.\n^ Magdalino 2002, pp. 162ff., 234.\n^ Magdalino 2002, pp. 234\u2013235.\nAvramea, Anna (2012). \u0397 \u03a0\u03b5\u03bb\u03bf\u03c0\u03cc\u03bd\u03bd\u03b7\u03c3\u03bf\u03c2 \u03b1\u03c0\u03cc \u03c4\u03bf\u03bd 4\u03bf \u03c9\u03c2 \u03c4\u03bf\u03bd 8\u03bf \u03b1\u03b9\u03ce\u03bd\u03b1: \u0391\u03bb\u03bb\u03b1\u03b3\u03ad\u03c2 \u03ba\u03b1\u03b9 \u03c3\u03c5\u03bd\u03ad\u03c7\u03b5\u03b9\u03b1 [The Peloponnese from the 4th to the 8th century: Changes and continuity.] (in Greek).

They were worn and popularised by Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington. The \"Wellington\" boot became a staple of practical foot wear for the British aristocracy and middle class in the early 19th century. The name was subsequently given to waterproof boots made of rubber and they are no longer associated with a particular class. They are now commonly used for a range of agricultural and outdoors pursuits.\n1 Design and use\n2.3 Production in World War I\n2.4 Production in World War II\n3 Usage and terminology\n4 Wellingtons in sport and song\nDesign and use[edit]\nWellington boots in contemporary usage are waterproof and are most often made from rubber or polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a halogenated polymer. They are usually worn when walking on wet or muddy ground, or to protect the wearer from heavy showers and puddles. They are generally just below knee-high although shorter boots are available.\nThe \"Wellington\" is a common and necessary safety or hygiene shoe in diverse industrial settings: for heavy industry with an integrated reinforced toe; protection from mud and grime in mines, from chemical spills in chemical plants and from water, dirt, and mud in horticultural and agricultural work; and serving the high standard of hygiene required in food processing plants, operating theatres, and dust-free clean rooms for electronics manufacture.\nThe Duke of Wellington at Waterloo. By James Lonsdale, 1815. Here he is portrayed wearing tasselled Hessian boots\nThe Duke of Wellington instructed his shoemaker, Hoby of St. James's Street, London, to modify the 18th-century Hessian boot. The resulting new boot was fabricated in soft calfskin leather, had the trim removed and was cut to fit more closely around the leg. The heels were low cut, stacked around an inch (2.5 centimetres), and the boot stopped at mid-calf. It was suitably hard-wearing for riding, yet smart enough for informal evening wear. The boot was dubbed the Wellington and the name has stuck in English ever since. In the 1815 portrait by James Lonsdale, the Duke can be seen wearing the more formal Hessian style boots, which are tasselled.[1]\nWellington's utilitarian new boots quickly caught on with patriotic British gentlemen eager to emulate their war hero.[citation needed] Considered fashionable and foppish in the best circles and worn by dandies, such as Beau Brummell, they remained the main fashion for men through the 1840s. In the 1850s they were more commonly made in the calf-high version, and in the 1860s they were both superseded by the ankle boot, except for riding. Wellington is one of the two British Prime Ministers to have given his name to an item of clothing, the other being Sir Anthony Eden (see Anthony Eden hat) whilst Sir Winston Churchill gave his name to a cigar, and William Gladstone (four times prime minister between 1868 and 1894) gave his to the Gladstone Bag, the classic doctor's portmanteau.\nWellington boots were at first made of leather. However, in 1852 Hiram Hutchinson met Charles Goodyear, who had just invented the sulfur vulcanisation process for natural rubber. While Goodyear decided to manufacture tyres, Hutchinson bought the patent to manufacture footwear and moved to France to establish \u00c0 l'Aigle (\"to the Eagle\") in 1853, to honour his home country. Today the company is simply called Aigle. In a country where 95% of the population were working on fields with wooden clogs as they had been for generations, the introduction of the wholly waterproof, Wellington-type rubber boot became an instant success: farmers would be able to come back home with clean, dry feet.\nProduction in World War I[edit]\nProduction of the Wellington boot was dramatically boosted with the advent of World War I and a requirement for footwear suitable for the conditions in Europe's flooded and muddy trenches. The North British Rubber Company (now Hunter Boot Ltd) was asked by the War Office to construct a boot suitable for such conditions. The mills ran day and night to produce immense quantities of these trench boots. In total, 1,185,036 pairs were made to meet the British Army's demands.\nProduction in World War II[edit]\nIn World War II, Hunter Boot was again requested to supply vast quantities of Wellington and thigh boots. 80% of production was of war materials \u2013 from (rubber) ground sheets to life belts and gas masks. In the Netherlands, the British forces were working in flooded conditions which demanded Wellingtons and thigh boots in vast supplies.\nBy the end of the war in 1945, the Wellington had become popular among men, women and children for wet weather wear. The boot had developed to become far roomier with a thick sole and rounded toe. Also, with the rationing of that time, labourers began to use them for daily work.\nThe lower cost and ease of rubber \"Wellington\" boot manufacture, and being entirely waterproof, lent itself immediately to being the preferred protective material to leather in all forms of industry. Increased attention to occupational health and safety requirements led to the steel toe or steel-capped Wellington: a protective (commonly internal) toe-capping to protect the foot from crush and puncture injuries. Although traditionally made of steel, the reinforcement may be a composite or a plastic material such as thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU).\nSuch steel-toe Wellingtons are nearly indispensable in an enormous range of industry and are often mandatory wear to meet local occupational health and safety legislation or insurance requirements.\nGreen Wellington boots, introduced by Hunter Boot Ltd in 1955, gradually became a shorthand for \"country life\" in the UK.[2] In 1980, sales of their boots skyrocketed after Lady Diana Spencer (future Princess Diana) was pictured wearing a pair on the Balmoral estate during her courtship with Prince Charles.[2][3]\nUsage and terminology[edit]\nFind sources: \"Wellington boot\" \u2013 news \u00b7 newspapers \u00b7 books \u00b7 scholar \u00b7 JSTOR (March 2016) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)\nThough most commonly called \"gum boots\", an alternative name, \"Blucher Boot\", is occasionally used by some older Australians. Bl\u00fccher was Wellington's colleague at the Battle of Waterloo and there is speculation that some early emigrants to Australia, remembering the battle, may have confused a different design the Blucher shoe developed by Blucher. The Australian poet Henry Lawson wrote a poem to a pair of Blucher Boots in 1890.[4]\nUsually called rubber boots, but sometimes galoshes, mud boots, rain boots, mucking boots, billy boots, or gum-boots, are popular in Canada and the United States, particularly in springtime when melting snows leave wet and muddy ground. Young people can be seen wearing them to school or university and taking them to summer camps.\nWhile green is popular in Britain, red-soled black rubber boots are often seen in the United States, in addition to Canadian styles. Rubber boots specifically made for cold weather, lined with warm insulating material, are especially popular practical footwear for Canadian winters. This same style of lined boot is also popular among those who work in or near the ocean as one can wade in and out of shallow, but cold, ocean water, while staying dry and warm.\nColourful PVC Wellingtons\nIn the US white mid-calf rubber boots are worn by workers on shrimp boats and construction workers pouring concrete.\nLeather boots similar to Wellington's original Hessian boots have been marketed in North America as \"Ranch Wellingtons\" or \"Western Wellingtons\". These boots have more rounded toes, lower heels, and less radically scalloped tops than typical \"cowboy boots\".\nIn New Zealand, Wellingtons are called \"gumboots\" \"wellies\" or \"Redbands\" (after a popular brand), and are considered essential foot wear for farmers. Gumboots are often referred to in New Zealand popular culture such as the rurally-based Footrot Flats comic strip. The farming town of Taihape in the North Island proclaims itself \"Gumboot capital of the World\" and has annual competitions and events such as Gumboot Day, where gumboots are thrown. Most gumboots are black, but those worn by abattoir workers, butchers, fishermen and by hospital operating theatre staff and surgeons are white, and children's sizes come in multiple colours.\nThe term \"gum boot\" in New Zealand is thought to derive from the 19th-century kauri-gum diggers, who wore this footwear, or perhaps because the boots were made from gum rubber. The term is often abbreviated to \"gummies\". New Zealand comedy character Fred Dagg paid tribute to this iconic footwear in his song \"Gumboots\" a modified version of Billy Connolly's \"If It Wisnae Fur Yer Wellies\".\nNordic countries[edit]\nThe boots are very popular in Scandinavian countries, with conditions and climate similar to Canada. In fact, before its entry into the mobile phone business, rubber boots were among the best-known products of Nokia.[5][6] Both the Finnish Defence Forces and the Swedish Armed Forces issue rubber boots[7] to all soldiers for use in wet conditions and during the winter with felt liners.\nIn Russia rubber boots were first introduced in the 1920s. Immediately, they became extremely popular because of Russian weather conditions. During the rule of Joseph Stalin, 17 rubber-boot factories were built in different parts of the Soviet Union. Along with valenki in winter, rubber boots became the traditional footwear in springs and autumns.\nWhen Nikita Khrushchev came to power, the boot became charged politically in the context of the \"Battle for Modesty\" campaign, where rubber footwear was proclaimed as \"socialism style\" (thus fashionable), while leather, which was obviously more expensive, was derided as \"capitalism style\" (thus unfashionable). During the period 1961\u20131964 leather footwear disappeared from Soviet shops. When Leonid Brezhnev came to power in 1964, the usual leather footwear returned to shops, and rubber boots quickly lost their popularity, returning to their original role of utility footwear.\nNowadays, Wellington boots in Russia have the same role as in most countries.\nWellington boots are a commonly used form of waterproof footwear in the UK, and usually referred to as \"Wellies\". Wellington boots are particularly popular for small children when they want to jump in puddles.\nWellingtons in sport and song[edit]\nMine workers in South Africa\nIn South Africa, the sound of people dancing in gumboots has been incorporated into a form of semi-traditional popular music, sometimes known as \"gumboot music\" or \"gumboot zydeco\" in Africa, or Welly boot dance by people from Britain. The dance began as a form of communication in the late 19th century in the gold mines of South Africa. The miners were forbidden to speak with each other while they worked, and were stripped of the right to wear their tribal garments. They adopted a system of communication using their work attire and native tribal rhythms. The miner uniform included Wellington boots, hard hats, and chains; so the miners used the items of their work uniform to develop a form of communication, for safety, and simply as a form of entertainment. Songs or chants sometimes accompanied these gumboot dances, often with themes of longing or loneliness, and sometimes making fun of their bosses in the songs. The owners of the mines, impressed with this phenomenon, would allow the best gumboot dancers to form troupes and perform. The dances, the uniform, and the rhythms have lived on, from the gold mines in South Africa, in step dance, as well as many other forms of music and dance that use the body to create arrangements of rhythms. Traditional gumboot dances, as well as contemporary versions, can be seen throughout Africa and the United States, though in South Africa gumboot dancing has become something of a tourist attraction, rather than a celebration of liberation under oppression. The 1986 Paul Simon album Graceland contains the song \"Gumboots\". This song, like much of the album, was recorded in South Africa.\nIn 1974 Scottish comedian Billy Connolly adopted a comical ode to the boot called \"The Welly Boot Song\" as his theme tune, and it became one of his best-known songs. In 1976, satirist John Clarke's alter ego Fred Dagg reworked Connolly's song as \"If It Weren't for your Gumboots\", and created a hit. Wellies have also been used by the band, Gaelic Storm, in their fifth full album, \"Bring Yer Wellies\", and in the song \"Kelly's Wellies\" on the same album.\nBetween 1994 and 1996, BBC1 created several series of William's Wish Wellingtons, about a boy named William whose magical red Wellington Boots could grant him wishes.\nDanish band Alphabeat's 2007 album Alphabeat contains a song called \"Rubber Boots/Mackintosh\".[8]\nIn the song \"Springtime\", Spinal Tap tires of spring, and they want drizzle, sleet, and \"Wellies on my feet\".\nIn the United Kingdom, there is a light-hearted sport, known as wellie wanging, which involves throwing Wellington boots as far as possible.\nBritish Country Clothing\nWaders (footwear)\nWilliam's Wish Wellingtons\n^ James Lonsdale's portrait of Wellington\n^ a b \"Will Kate kick off a war of the Welles?p\".

Lohardaga, Pakur, Bokaro and Ramgarh will also be developed later.\nThe report, which was handed over to the minister by the project management unit hired by it in early 2016, says the Kharkai river in East Singbhum has been chosen for rafting activities. Ranchi's Hundru Falls has been selected for initiating rope-based adventure activities like flying fox. The state's prominent reservoirs like Dimna (Jamshedpur) and Maithon (Dhanbad) will be turned into water-sport activity centers.\nAmadubi in Jamshedpur and Belwara in Hazaribag have been selected for rural tourism. The Dalma Wildlife Sanctuary, Chandil Dam, Tilaiya Dam (Koderma), Getalsud Dam (Ranchi) and Lapung have been shortlisted for promoting eco-tourism.\nIn a bid to attract more visitors, the department has planned to install wi-fi hotspots in major tourist sites across the state. A tender is expected to be floated next month.\nRajiv Ranjan, joint director of the state tourism directorate, said, \"A final approval is still pending from the minister. However, work on equipping prominent tourist sites with wi-fi connectivity is expected to start soon.\"\nTags : Coal, Kiriburu, East Singhbhum, tourism, Dhanbad",

In your case, things probably won't be quite so otherworldly. But some variation of the same story may nevertheless play out.\nFor example, perhaps it turns out that the guy who works two cubicles down from you has a great fastball nobody knows about. Or maybe your 40-year-old next door neighbor played college ball and he's been missing the smell of his glove ever since. Or, what if your kid and his friends at school are budding ballplayers -- only they need a league to give them the opportunity to perform?\nMaybe it's up to you -- yes, you, \"Ray\" -- to listen to that inner voice and bring baseball to your community.\nThe question is, where in the world do you start? We won't lie to you. Starting and operating a league requires a lot of work. In fact, it's not unlike running a business. You'll have to deal with finances, permits, managing people and delegating jobs. And you'll need to check your community laws and regulations to ensure you're going down the right path. In addition, it helps to find a league nearby that you'd like to emulate, and get some advice and tips from people who have already done it.\nAnd most importantly, you'll need some cash flow. Learn more about that on the next page.\nHow to Start a Basketball League",

        "title": "Corey Johnson: global resource nexus, Germany, gas pipelines, overconsumption",
        "raw_content": "Dr Corey Johnson works as Assistant Professor of Geography at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. He holds a PhD and MA in Geography from the University of Oregon, and BA (honors) in Geography and German from the University of Kansas. In the past, dr Johnson participated in the Robert Bosch Foundation Fellowship Program for Future American Leaders and was Visiting Fellow in three German public institutions.\nHe further worked as Media Analyst in the German Embassy (Washington, DC). His main research interests include territorial dynamics of European enlargement and integration, energy and geopolitics in Eurasia and winners and losers of globalization and sustainability.\nAt age nineteen or twenty I took classes at the University of Kansas from Leslie Dienes on the \u2018geography of energy\u2019 and another from Bob McColl on East Asia.\nI suppose it was around that time that I began to appreciate the traditional topic areas of something called \u2018geopolitics,\u2019 though at the time I thought I was more interested in cultural-historical geography as it was practiced by Pete Shortridge at Kansas. I still have a lot of time for that sort of geography.\nThe greatest geopolitical influence early on was a seminar I took from Gregor Sch\u00f6llgen during a wonderful post-baccalaureate year at the University of Erlangen in Germany.\nSch\u00f6llgen is a well-known German historian of the realist school whose early work focused on Germany\u2019s historical role in Europe by virtue of its Mittellage (central position).\nI was definitely out of my league in there\u2014bumbling in a foreign language, totally ill-equipped to contribute anything of substance to the heated discussions on geography and foreign policy between the professor who saw a role for German military power in Europe and the leftist students who wanted nothing to do with hard power (mind you this was on the eve of the Kosovo war).\nIt was nevertheless an eye-opening intellectual experience and gave me a sense of some of the interesting questions you can ask in geopolitics, and how political geopolitics can be.\nThe one common thread through most of my work is European integration, including the geopolitical assumptions and understandings that accompany it.\nThe three main topic areas have been transboundary regionalism, borders, and most recently energy and pipelines. I joke to my students that I started as a Germanist but my interests keep shifting eastward.\nBut this shift in my own research reflects the renewed interest of the European Union and member states in points eastward as sources both of threats (e.g. illicit humans, illicit drugs) and opportunities (e.g. as sources of hydrocarbons).\nIn addition to looking at the wide-ranging material consequences of this recent trend, I find the instinctive nod to classical geopolitical tropes in framing the non-EU East fascinating.\nI appreciate that this is a stock question asked of everyone, but I\u2019ll politely refuse to answer and instead say that I am anxious to see reactions to a couple of book projects in the pipeline.\nOne, appropriately, is on pipelines, specifically natural gas pipelines in Eurasia. In it I appropriate some great work by Simon Marvin and Stephen Graham and others on networked infrastructure in cities and attempt to apply it at a larger scale.\nA simple map of gas pipelines is a very revealing indicator of the networked interconnectivity and political and economic interdependence across Eurasian space, and it helps to explain in part why so many recent observers have found inspiration in the writings of old school geopoliticians.\nA preview of the argument is in a piece I wrote with Matt Derrick (\u201cA Splintered Heartland: Russia, Europe, and the Geopolitics of Networked Energy Infrastructure\u201d, Geopolitics, forthcoming).\nA piece I wrote with my PhD advisor Alec Murphy in 2004, \u201cGerman geopolitics in transition\u201d, is probably the most widely read piece.\nI find how the word is used more interesting than any single definition.\nI am just back to my university job after a year in a think tank in Washington, DC, and it struck me while there that anytime there were territorial and legal ambiguities in describing or arguing for or against the exercise of state power, it (a talk, a paper, a report, a speech) could become explicitly about \u2018geopolitics.\u2019\nI say that \u201cit struck me\u201d, but of course I was filtering everything that I heard and read through the lens of my own reading of critical geopolitics literature.\nThen there were those whose intent appeared to be to add a layer of mystical intrigue to a topic, no matter how mundane. I have probably been guilty of that. My experience in Washington, somewhat closer to the mouth of the beast than I am accustomed, underscored for me that the elasticity of the term \u2018geopolitics\u2019 is precisely what makes it so interesting.\nFor quality of scholarship, moral character, or interesting personality?\nFor consistently thoughtful and thought-provoking work, I tip my hat to John Agnew.\nThere have been some very colorful geopolitical scientists in the past with whom I would love to have a conversation, and Fernand Braudel would be close to the top of that list. I suspect he would not have labeled himself a scholar of geopolitics, though.\nI have a copy of Friedrich Ratzel\u2019s \u201cPolitische Geographie\u201d that I take off the shelf every so often and re-read a few pages at a time.\nIt is great both for the absolute conviction with which he explains the world and the mind-boggling amount of information about the world he synthesized. This was pre-air travel and pre-Wikipedia, very humbling indeed.\nReading it with an early 21st century geographical socialization, there are passages of absolute brilliance interspersed with some real squirm-inducing parts.\nBesides Wikipedia? Definitely this one.\nI have just finished work on a collaborative project on the \u2018global resource nexus\u2019. I think this work has convinced me that the demand for resources against the backdrop of climate change and biodiversity loss will continue to occupy us well into the future. This will have implications not only for territory but also for seas, ice caps, and atmosphere\u2014perhaps even outer space.\nOverconsumption. We know plenty about how much we consume, and how this is likely to increase in the future, but there is a geopolitics of overconsumption that merits much more attention.\nI think the above answers capture more or less my thoughts on this.\nTo what extent humans are willing to extract every last carbon molecule from the ground, and to what extent governments are willing to exercise power to ensure supplies of hydrocarbons, will be perhaps the decisive political challenge of the next few decades.

        "raw_content": "My friend G\u2019s father passed away late last night after fighting the good fight with cancer for more than 10 years. No matter how expected the death, it is still a bit of a shock when it finally happens. Friend G\u2019s \u201cpops\u201d he has known and loved his whole live \u2013 G said his heart stopped beating and his chest fell that final time 12:17 a.m. and 46 seconds on the clock. He was watching his pops\u2019 face and not the clock, but when the monitors began their signal lost buzz he looked up and the clock and recorded the time.\nG is an only child, which makes thing both easier and harder for him. His mother is elderly and was extraordinarily dependent upon her husband. Her health has also been faltering the last few years, and G and I have spoken at length about what his dad\u2019s passing will mean beyond the grief of loss. Mom and dad have been in an assisted living facility for the last year, until his dad had to be moved to a hospice facility. I feel great sadness for G and his family at this time.\nThis latest friend saying goodbye to a parent has me thinking about families and family dynamics. It seems to me in every family there is some \u201cglue\u201d that keeps it together, that keeps the clan members gathering and communicating and in touch with one another. If not it seems you become like my family of origin, where we are around each other, sort of, and typically only out of a sense of obligation. There was no glue there, even before my sister and I arrived on the scene.\nIn my kids\u2019 dad\u2019s family, it\u2019s his parents. They are wonderful people, and even though I have been divorced for their son for decades, I still think very highly of them and admire the very caring, loving, inclusive ways they have ensured my kids stayed part of the family fold. C speaks with trepidation about what will happen when they are gone, about whether or not she will still see her aunt and uncles and cousins. I am reassuring; her aunt has been slowly assuming the glue mantle for several years now as her parents age and wish to simplify family gatherings.\nFor M and I, our family is so tiny with just the kids and us it seems like we are all in this together. Should something happen to me before M, I believe the kids will look after him as best they are capable and as much as he will allow it. I believe he will grow more crotchety as the years pass and becomes less capable of doing things for himself. Time will tell.\nBut hopefully we have a lot of years to left before worries about becoming frailer and less capable overcome us. Hopefully the time and effort we are putting forth toward better health now will pay dividends later. Hopefully it is not too late.\nI had a meeting with our insurance broker today, and health insurance premiums are going up 20%. Ugh. However, for that 20% you get a slightly lower deductible and a lower maximum out-of-pocket. For most of the staff the increase is not terrible; the highest increase in their portion of the premium is $26 per month. For me, the lone person going from Kaiser back to Anthem, I go from $0 out of pocket to $326 per month. I am not delighted but I am not terribly upset, either. I will feel much better back with doctors I trust even if I am not using them all that much these days.\nFriend G\u2019s news today just reminds me M and I are getting older, and we need doctors we can depend upon and trust. Kaiser would be a good choice for M \u2013 he who only goes to the doctor when something seems wrong or off \u2013 but since I am the primary health care consumer and have the chronic condition, I need access to the specialists who make things make sense for me. My peace of mind is worth the monthly premium.\nBecause I am part of the glue that keeps my tribe together. I need to stick around and see watch the rest of the story.\nAnd with that, I am off to bed to read for awhile and get some sleep. Training Thursday at 7 tomorrow, and we\u2019re back to a different mode of exercise. I am very excited about it.\nPosted in My LifeTagged Aging, Aging Parents, Death, Family, Friends, Grief, Happy, Kids\nPrevious Article Extreme?\nNext Article Training #70 \u2013 Wedding bell blues",

There are concerns, however, about whether Congress will continue to provide that level of funding each year for the new system, which will replace Customs' 17-year-old Automated Commercial System.\nAlthough ACE is designed to track cargo, not people, it will play a crucial security role by providing information on the movement of materials that could be used in terrorist acts, Armstrong and other Customs officials said at the conference.\nAfter the Sept. 11 attacks, Customs officers began intensive training in recognizing individual weapons of mass destruction and the \"precursor\" chemicals and biological materials that are used to make them, said Ira Reese, acting director of Laboratories and Scientific Services, Customs' forensic division.\n\"We took the anti-terrorism portion out of our training program and expanded it.

As a result, he decided in 1987 to move to Silicon Valley, where he joined a start-up video card company called Parallax Graphics in Santa Clara. However, he resigned for less than 3 months after working with the company. Mike joined the University of Texas in Dallas as a graduate math student. He joined the music group Anson Funderburgh and the Rockets while he was taking classes.

Over time, it became woven into the world of entrepreneurship, as companies used it as a primary frame of reference for hiring. VCs turned it into a cliche, espousing the importance of culture fit during the entire spectrum of company creation, from the functioning of the very earliest teams through scaling a business.\nFor the past few years, I\u2019ve tried to use the phrase \u201ccultural norms\u201d instead of culture whenever the concept of culture fit was mentioned. At first, this felt a little ponderous as I had to regularly explain what I meant by cultural norms and why I didn\u2019t just say the word culture instead. I eventually learned that if I stated that culture meant nothing and was shorthand for saying \u201cI don\u2019t want to think hard about what is going on here,\u201d I usually stimulated enough of a conversation that it ultimately became a useful one.\nAbout a year ago, I was in a conversation (I can\u2019t remember who it was with) and they mentioned the phrase \u201cculture add.\u201d I immediately loved it. Since then, I\u2019ve used it as a direct contrast to culture fit and let it evolve to the phrase \u201cgo for culture add, not culture fit\u201d as part of a longer rant on diversity on all dimensions (beyond just gender and race) and the evolution of culture norms in a company.\nI felt confident in my understanding of this concept. I\u2019d cite the Rooney Rule as an element of how to hire for culture add. If you aren\u2019t familiar with the Rooney Rule, a relatively recent article in 538 titled Rethinking The NFL\u2019s Rooney Rule For More Diversity At The Top has a short and clear description of it.\n\u201cIn place since 2003 for head coaches and expanded in 2009 to include general manager jobs and equivalent front-office positions, the rule \u2014 named after Dan Rooney, Pittsburgh Steelers chairman and onetime head of the league\u2019s diversity committee \u2014 mandates that an NFL team must interview at least one minority candidate for these jobs. The rule, however, has two fatal flaws: the temptation to substitute sham interviews in place of a search for real diversity, and coordinator-level positions, a crucial step to head-coaching jobs, are not under the umbrella.\u201d\nAs with many things in life, I marched forward, spreading the gospel of the Rooney Rule once I had internalized it as part of the idea of culture add. And then, in February, I ran into a brick wall during a Boulder roundtable on diversity organized by Andrea Guendelman of BeVisible. I was sitting in a big circle in the room, listening carefully, but also feeling like I was contributing my perspective and expertise to the group (which, when I reflect on this, means I was probably feeling smug, self-important, and casually tossing around things like the Rooney Rule) when I heard something referenced from Stefanie Johnson, a CU professor that made me pull out my iPhone and type a few notes to myself.\n\u201cStefanie Johnson just wrote an article that the Rooney Rule doesn\u2019t work. If you have only one female candidate in the finalist pool, it doesn\u2019t increase that probability that you\u2019ll hire a female candidate. The same is true for a non-white candidate. If you want to increase the probability, you have to have at least two female candidates in the finalist pool.\u201d\nI may have said something like \u201ccan you say that again?\u201d If I didn\u2019t, I should have. Regardless, it was seared into my brain. A few days later, I got an email from Stefanie (who had heard about the conversation) with a link to her recent HBR article titled. If There\u2019s Only One Woman in Your Candidate Pool, There\u2019s Statistically No Chance She\u2019ll Be Hired. The article is clear and has the appropriate statistical support for Stefanie\u2019s assertion. If you don\u2019t feel like reading the article, the chart below summarizes it.\nThere\u2019s a lot in the article, including this gem:\nand this punchline:\nAs I finish up this ramble, let\u2019s cycle all the way back to the notion of culture add. By using this phrase, one of the things I\u2019m trying to do is break the notion of hiring people like everyone else in the company as a default to supporting the idea of culture. Instead, you are looking for people who add to your culture. This does not invalidate the idea of adding people like you, but it doesn\u2019t let this be the default. It\u2019s more subtle than mechanisms like the Rooney Rule, but hopefully, it will be effective long-term.\nMore importantly, at a discussion earlier this year, I realized once again how little I know about something I\u2019ve been immersed in for many years. Or, if I\u2019m optimistic, how much I can regularly learn just by paying attention, listening, and participating in a discussion, even when I think I\u2019m one of the experts, advocates, or some other word that makes me feel good about myself. And, most of all thank you, Andrea, for staying after me, and for creating a forum for a major new insight for me that I might have otherwise missed.",

        "raw_content": "Putinology: The Ferocious Pirates of Greenpeace The Ferocious Pirates of Greenpeace...\nThe Ferocious Pirates of Greenpeace\nRussia's decision to charge environmental activists with piracy sets an ominous precedent.\n| October 6, 2013, 12:13 AM\nMOSCOW \u2014 On Oct. 3, when I visited the Moscow headquarters of Greenpeace, the organization\u2019s office was buzzing with anxious staffers and friends. The activists were shocked, their faces drawn and nervous. They had spent hours at meetings with the Kremlin\u2019s administration and the Federal Security Service (FSB) looking for some solution to their problems. Earlier that day, a Russian criminal court had issued prison sentences to 16 more Greenpeace employees and sympathizers, on top of the 14 activists sentenced the day before. The charge: piracy.\nThe Greenpeace members I spoke to have endured years of official pressure and threats in their long struggle to prevent oil spills and other natural disasters. There have been many occasions when Greenpeace ecologists have found themselves confronting the FSB, the successor to the old Soviet KGB. But 15-year jail terms as punishment for environmental activism? The news was a bombshell.\nIn fact, the protest itself was innocuous. On Sept. 18, the Greenpeace ship, the Arctic Sunrise, anchored a few hundred yards away from Gazprom\u2019s Prirazlomnaya oil platform, a 100,000-ton metal giant sitting 60 kilometers off the coast in the icy Pechora Sea. A few unarmed activists (one of them, the Russian journalist Denis Senyakov, equipped only with a camera) approached the platform on two inflatable boats. Then, two of the activists used rock-climbing equipment to climb up the rig\u2019s wall in an attempt to raise a protest banner. \"They were later accused of threatening the security of the rig,\" noted Vladimir Chuprov, the head of Greenpeace\u2019s energy department in Moscow. \"But why is the rig out there in the ocean if it can be threatened by two guys with ropes?\"\nThe activists were soon stopped. Russian Coast Guardsmen in balaclavas pointed guns at the activists and fired warning shots; water cannons on the top of the rig loosed torrents of water at the Greenpeace men. The next day, a helicopter arrived, and security forces soon detained the rest of the Arctic Sunrise crew. Putin later expressed regrets that he never had a chance to sit down with Greenpeace to hear about \"their complaints, demands, and concerns.\" However, he explained that Russian security forces did know the identities of the people who were storming the platform. \"It is absolutely evident, that they are, of course, not pirates,\" he continued. \"But formally they were trying to seize this platform. It is evident that these people violated international law.\"\nGreenpeace is indignant and has called the FSB\u2019s decision an extreme overreaction. \"The Arctic is melting before our eyes and these brave activists stand in defiance of those who wish to exploit this unfolding crisis to drill for more oil,\" read the statement on the group\u2019s website. \"Greenpeace International insists that piracy charges are unjustified, and that Russian authorities boarded the Arctic Sunrise illegally in international waters. Several international legal experts have supported that view.\"\nThe Russian Greenpeace employees wondered how President Vladimir Putin could possibly allow the draconian punishment of environmental protesters, especially since Greenpeace has performed exactly the same protests in many countries over the years, including Greenland, New Zealand, the Netherlands \u2014 even, just a year ago, in Russia itself. Such activism has generally been recognized as free expression; until this past week, no government has ever sentenced environmentalist protestors on piracy charges. I watched as the activists in the Moscow headquarters browsed through pictures of their 30 arrested colleagues, all of whom have received two months of pretrial detention: citizens of Finland, Ukraine, Britain, the Netherlands, the United States, and 13 other countries. It seemed that citizens representing half the world were locked behind bars in Murmansk.\nThe FSB has a close relationship with Russia\u2019s big oil companies and their pipelines \u2014 which is something that Vladimir Chuprov has experienced firsthand. Greenpeace first opened its bureau in Russia in 1989, and went on to work uninterrupted for the next decade. Police raided the organization for the first time during the environmentalists\u2019 struggle to prevent the import of nuclear waste into Russia. Secret agents questioned Chuprov\u2019s family, friends, and even his teachers back in his hometown in the Komi region about his criticism of Russia\u2019s gas and oil giants. His father expressed pride about his son\u2019s activism and pushed the interrogators out the door. Chuprov\u2019s math teacher Galina Shpekht told the FSB: \"If you intend to arrest Chuprov, then you can send me along to the gulag with my former student.\"\nBut not everybody in Russia feels the same way about Greenpeace\u2019s storming of the oil platform in Pechora Sea. As reported by the polling group VTSIOM, around 60 percent of Russians believe the authorities were justified in employing harsh measures against Greenpeace. Russians often accuse Greenpeace activists of working as agents of the U.S. State Department, protesting to support policies that serve U.S. interests in exchange for money.\nMembers of Russia\u2019s underground art scene, by contrast, are more likely to take the activists\u2019 side. They often criticize the country\u2019s oil and gas companies for embodying a destructive national culture of addiction to the energy industry. Last July, for example, the punk rockers of Pussy Riot released a new song called \"As in a Red Prison.\" The lyrics describe Russia as kingdom of gas and oil pipelines enriching Putin\u2019s best friends. Indeed, activists across Europe are staging dramatic protests against the recent arrests. The photo above shows protesters in the Puerto del Sol square in Madrid on Oct. 5.\nInternational diplomats and celebrities, including artist and activist Annie Lennox, Radiohead lead singer Thom Yorke, and actor Ewan McGregor, spoke out against the Russian authorities and their efforts to intimidate Greenpeace. The Dutch foreign minister vowed to free the activists: \"I don\u2019t understand how this could have been thought to have anything to do with piracy,\" he said. \"I don\u2019t see how you could think of any legal grounds for that.\" A Russian conservationist, Mikhail Kreindlin, who has also been threatened by the FSB for his attempts to prevent the destruction of nature around the future Winter Olympics site in Sochi, told me that the charges against his colleagues sounded outrageously unfair. \"We are by principle a peaceful organization,\" Kreindlin said. \"Our colleagues obviously weren\u2019t trying to take Gazprom\u2019s property by force.\"\nThe Kremlin\u2019s response to these criticisms was consistent with its reactions to previous arrests of oppositionists: President Putin\u2019s press spokesman Dmitry Peskov insisted that Putin was not involved in any way in the charges against Greenpeace. He pointed to Putin\u2019s observation that piracy wasn\u2019t an appropriate charge. \"He does not and cannot interfere in the work of investigative agencies,\" said Peskov. Yet one has to wonder how many Russians who heard Peskov\u2019s words took them at face value.\nTags: Corruption, Default, Democracy Lab, Drugs & Crime, Eastern Europe, Energy, Environment, Free, Intelligence, Oil, Pirates, Politics, Putinology, Russia, Web Exclusive",

        "raw_content": "Tea Leaf Nation: The West: Source of All Evil, Including Chinese Scion\u2019s Boob Joke The West: Source of All Evil, Inclu...\nThe West: Source of All Evil, Including Chinese Scion\u2019s Boob Joke\nIt's now fashionable to blame the West for all manner of social (and personal) ills.\nWhen China\u2019s second-richest man Wang Jianlin, a real estate mogul worth $29.4 billion, sat down with state media for an Oprah-style interview this week, he was clearly in crisis-management mode. A little over a week earlier, his son, Wang Sicong, had sparked a scandal by telling reporters at a Valentine\u2019s Day charity event in Beijing that what he looked for in potential dates was a \u201cbig rack.\u201d Though Sicong insisted he was joking, state media was not amused and the official Xinhua News Agency published an editorial on Feb. 15 comparing him to former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, whose lecherous antics have been well documented. Hong Kong-based English-language South China Morning Post called it \u201cBuxomgate.\u201d\nBut the real scandal, at least according to the elder Wang, is Western influence. On Feb. 24, the elder Wang told state-run China Central Television that while his son was smart, he had left China to study abroad in elementary school, making his thinking very \u201cWestern.\u201d Sicong is \u201cvery independent,\u201d the billionaire said, and added that his son says whatever comes into his mind. \u201cThough he\u2019s been back three years, that\u2019s still a short time. It may take five or eight years of being back for him to really become Chinese.\u201d The younger Wang, who has a degree in philosophy from University College London, did not respond to a request for comment from Foreign Policy sent via the social network Weibo.\nIt was a pretty flimsy defense. After all, the elder Wang has a Western fixation of his own, even if it\u2019s one trained on the bottom line, not bust lines. His company snapped up British yacht maker Sunseeker for $1.6 billion in June 2013 and also owns AMC, the biggest movie theater chain in the United States. In November 2013, Wang paid $28.2 million for a Picasso painting.\nStill, Wang\u2019s remarks show how fashionable it\u2019s become in China to invoke \u201cThe West\u201d as an all-purpose bogeyman. On Jan. 29, China\u2019s education minister cautioned students against slandering Communist Party leaders and said that \u201ctextbooks promoting Western values\u201d were forbidden in Chinese classrooms. This week, China\u2019s Supreme People\u2019s Court warned judicial officials against being caught up in Western-style thinking. \u201cResolutely resist the influence of the West\u2019s erroneous thought and mistaken viewpoints,\u201d the top court said in a statement quoted Feb. 26 by Reuters.\nThe anti-Western rhetoric is part of a campaign under President Xi Jinping to get party members and the general public to toe a stricter ideological line. But it also seems to be about misdirection, or getting the public to pin frustrations on a faraway culprit rather than focusing on problems at home. Fears of Western influence are as much a measure of Chinese anxiety about domestic problems as they are concern about whatever moral erosion American television has actually inflicted.\nDali Yang, a professor of political science at the University of Chicago and the faculty director of the university\u2019s center in Beijing, says the antagonism toward the West seems primarily rhetorical at the moment, but it could have real life impact. \u201cIt does raise some concern and it affects business sentiment,\u201d Yang told FP. He added that government declarations against Western thought and ideas could turn off those considering relocating to China.\nAs for mogul Wang, though he blames the West for corrupting his son\u2019s thinking, the bigger issue seems to be a yawning generation gap. After being skewered for his rogue-ish comments, the son took to social media to defend himself and was showered with support from Chinese men \u2014 and women \u2014 alike. Over one hundred thousand users \u201cliked\u201d a Feb. 15 Weibo post in which he wrote, \u201cI was clearly joking when I made the busty remark! Yet people still take it as real! As if I am that shallow!\u201d*\nYang, the University of Chicago professor, said the father-son rift was rather like a \u201cParis Hilton situation\u201d \u2014 a mogul trying to cope with a spoiled and unruly child who happens to have a taste for public attention. While Sicong\u2019s time abroad may have changed him, China itself has also transformed massively since Wang Jianlin was a young man. \u201cIn two generations, Chinese society has totally changed,\u201d Yang said. And there is great uncertainty about what shared morals or values people want to embrace. It can be easy to pin problems on the West, but in China\u2019s case, an acute generation gap seems the more likely culprit.\n*Correction, Feb. 27, 2015: Over 100,000 users liked Wang Sicong\u2019s post. A previous version of this article misstated that number as over 1 million.

        "raw_content": "Mining in Utah\nThread: Mining in Utah\nIs there any info. on uranium mining operations resuming in Moab? Any truth to this story. May well affect Albuquerque as well.\nI don't know about new mining, but I did here a while ago that the big pile of radioactive tailings just north of town was finally going to get cleaned up.\nI hope the clean-up happens, not the new mining.\nSlow and steady gets you...7th place.\n\"Hey! Where is everybody going??\"\nOriginally Posted by Darkan\nBeware of Uranium Mining in the Desert SW\nBy Patrick O'Driscoll, USA TODAY Fri Jan 20, 7:18 AM ET\nHalf a century after the Cold War triggered a rush here to mine uranium for atom bombs, a new generation of prospectors is staking thousands of claims in the desert Southwest. (Related: Copper mining revived)\nSparking the surge is a peacetime demand for more fuel for nuclear power plants worldwide.\nThe Four Corners region where Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona meet was once the hub of uranium mining in the USA. Now it is a haven for extreme adventure sports.\nFor more than a decade, mountain bikers, all-terrain vehicle riders, rock climbers, river rafters and other off-road tourists have staked claims to the red-rock canyons and mesas that surround Moab. Some even use desert roads built decades ago so uranium ore could be hauled from the mines to nearby mills.\nThe prospect of new mines and mills to produce and refine the radioactive mineral has stirred fears of more damage to the environment, health risks and disruption of the bustling tourist economy that took over after the mines closed in the 1980s.\n\"We are very concerned. Our economy's changed now,\" says Joette Langianese of Moab, a Grand County Council member. \"We need to look at this whole potential for a uranium boom again ... so that we're not just repeating our past mistakes.\"\nMoab today is a world-renowned mecca for fat-tire bikes and Jeep safaris. Up to 80% of the town's budget comes from sales taxes, paid largely by 1.5 million visitors a year.\nTest holes being drilled\n\"Our economy now is based on tourism and people who come here with other jobs because of the quality of life,\" says Bill Hedden, executive director of the Grand Canyon Trust, a conservation group that fought for removal of uranium waste from Moab's mining boom.\nMike Shumway of Moab, whose father and grandfather mined uranium, is staking claims and reopening mines. \"The area right here in Moab won't be affected,\" says Shumway, who has built motels and owns a bed-and-breakfast. \"So the mountain bikers are going to have to pass the ore truck on the road out here? Well, they're going to have to learn how to get along.\"\nAs many as 30 test holes will be drilled this month 40 miles southeast of here in Lisbon Valley, near the original 1952 strike by \"uranium king\" Charlie Steen that put Moab on the map. Steen's son, Mark, is guiding the search.\n\"When I was growing up, my dad said, 'The rest of the ore body is over there, across the Lisbon Fault, down deep,' \" says Mark Steen, 55, of Longmont, Colo., who has staked about 4,000 claims since 2003.\nSteen says mining will take off here when the price for uranium increases enough, which he predicts will happen within five years. Uranium at its peak in 1979 sold for $43 a pound. \"It's got to get to about $110 to equal that,\" he says. If it does, \"Brace yourself, Moab,\" Steen says. \"I can't wait for those miners and drillers to start rubbing shoulders with those Lycra-clad bicyclists.\"\nThe price for uranium processed into \"yellowcake\" has ballooned 500% in the past five years to $36.50 a pound.\nThe Utah Geological Survey says more than 6,000 uranium claims were filed last year.\nProspectors \"stake\" claims by pounding corner posts around 20-acre tracts that are scattered across thousands of square miles of federal land in the region. They file a map and a $170 fee for each claim.\nNeighboring Colorado has up to 3,000 new claims in the past year. \"Not all of those will turn into anything, but there's a lot of activity,\" says Tracy Plessinger of the U.S. Energy Department, which manages 25,000 acres of federal land set aside during the Cold War for uranium exploration.\nIn Arizona, at least 700 more claims were filed on remote federal lands near the Grand Canyon. International Uranium, which owns one of only two working uranium mills in the USA, might reopen four old mines there. The company aims to stockpile enough ore to begin processing this year at its White Mesa mill in Blanding, Utah, about 80 miles south of here, says president Ron Hochstein.\nIn New Mexico, another Canadian firm, Energy Metals, has acquired 16 mining leases west of Albuquerque in an area that produced almost 340 million pounds of uranium in the 20th century.\nWhether this renewed interest in uranium leads to production is still in question. Only one company, Denver-based Cotter Corp., has dug any new ore so far - and it suspended operations in November because of high fuel prices to truck the ore 300 miles to its mill in Ca\u00c3\u00b1on City, Colo.\nDealing with uranium waste\nThe uranium revival comes as Moab prepares to remove an unwanted leftover of its past: A 130-acre pile of radioactive waste on the north edge of town. The 12 million tons of mill tailings, left by the bankrupt owner of the defunct plant that processed the ore, has leaked uranium and other toxins into groundwater and killed fish in the Colorado River.\nRailcars will begin hauling away Moab's uranium waste in November 2007.\nThe 10-year federal cleanup could cost $400 million.\n\"It's folly to start pursuing (uranium) development when we still have the tailings to clean up and move,\" says Bob Lippman, a town councilman in Castle Valley, about 20 miles northeast of Moab. \"We still have people dying of lung cancers from the last uranium boom.\"\nSteve Erickson of the Citizens Education Project, a Utah advocacy group on social and economic issues, decries what uranium boosters are calling a \"nuclear renaissance.\"\n\"We have to have it done better this time around,\" he says. \"Don't kill the miners, and don't leave behind the messes after you're done.\"\nLong gone from Moab are signs that once welcomed visitors to \"the Uranium Center of America,\" but other traces remain. The \"Uranium Building,\" a 1950s office, still stands. The Slick Rock Caf\u00c3\u00a9 offers a half-pound \"uranium burger\" laced with bits of garlic and blue cheese to resemble ore.\nAnd the town museum is sprucing up its old uranium exhibit. Dessert for this month's annual dinner features \"yellow cake.\"\nUranium \"is just part of our history,\" says Rusty Salmon, director of the museum. \"It's a part of the personality of the town, whether we want to admit it anymore. And we survived it. Other towns didn't. We've moved on into a tourist industry.\"",

        "raw_content": "Review by KitabuKizuri -- McDowell by William H. Coles\nPost by KitabuKizuri \u00bb 09 Oct 2018, 15:29\nMcDowell is a work of fiction written by William H. Coles. It is a two-part book with 72 chapters in total.\nHiram McDowell is an accomplished surgeon and is gifted musically. He lives with a wife and five kids; three from two previous marriages and two from the current wife\u2019s side. It is a strained marriage coupled with an air of dysfunction in the family. Meanwhile, McDowell secures himself the position of president of The International College of Surgeons. In the process, he passes over Michael O\u2019Leary for the position of executive director for somebody else. Michael had played a huge role in securing him the votes in exchange for the position. Michael attempts to get back at him by opening an investigation against him through the ethics committee. The dirt found on him doesn\u2019t stick.\nThings don\u2019t\u2019 get so rosy in the home front though. In the middle of media scrutiny on his life, McDowell makes a critical mistake while attending to domestic affairs. He now has to deal with jail-time and a desperate quest for freedom that has him constantly on the run from the authorities. While on the run, he learns a few things about himself that humble him and lead him on a path to self-redemption. Will he win back the confidence of those he hurt in the past? Meanwhile, he writes a memoir on his life to tell his side of the story.\nThis is an engaging book with the author weaving through the story in the third person but somehow being able to fit the reader into different mindsets as he tells the story. For instance, he enters into the mind of Gatemouth Willie Brown in chapter fifty-nine; \u2026He don\u2019t talk like a crazy or even a down and out. He got some schoolin\u2019. Probably he run from the law (Without quotes). The two parts of the book are introduced by illustrations that help place the reader in context and add to the memorable nature of the book.\nThis book is great for those who like works of fiction which most likely will have one reading again just to allow the story to sink and for some reflection. I recommend it to them. The nature of the story will leave the reader questioning the morally acceptable choices we ought to make during critical life and death moments of people who fall under our care. To some extent, such moments in the book may not be for the faint of heart. The role and effect of media on society is also explored in the book. Other themes of interest may stand out to the reader as they read through the book.\nI rate the book with 4 out of 4 stars. There were hardly any grammatical or spelling errors except for deliberate alteration to mimic the manner of speech of various characters. There aren\u2019t many offensive moments in the book, so any grown person can read it without a problem. It may not be good for a young audience though. Like I hinted in the previous paragraphs, this book won\u2019t be one to forget for a long time.\nLike KitabuKizuri's review? Post a comment saying so!\nCareykyle\nRe: Review by KitabuKizuri -- McDowell by William H. Coles\nPost by Careykyle \u00bb 11 Oct 2018, 09:24\nI agree with the other the part he says one should tithe where he is fed spiritually. And tithe should not be accompanied by offering cause this are two different things\nReally this is an engaging book and has a lot of entertainment for the readers. So due to its interesting nature, it is not forgetable, it is so memorable.",

        "raw_content": "Beijing, November 20, 2018 \u2013 The failure of the countries attending a major Asia-Pacific summit to agree on a communique resulted from certain countries \u201cexcusing\u201d protectionism, a top Chinese diplomat said, in a veiled criticism of Washington that further sours China-U.S. ties ahead of a meeting of the G20 nations\nIn Washington, a White House official rejected the Chinese line as \u201ccomplete spin and propaganda\u201d and said the standoff did not raise hopes for a positive meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping at the G20 next week.\nAfter months of bickering over trade, the disputed South China Sea and U.S. support for Chinese-claimed Taiwan, Xi and Trump took a step back from the edge with an ice-breaking telephone call early this month.\nThey expressed optimism about resolving their trade war ahead of the G20 in Argentina, but the past weekend\u2019s Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit was marked by open disagreement between the United States and China over trade, security and which would be the better investment partner for the region.\nFor the first time, the gathered leaders failed to agree to a joint communique.\nIn comments on the Chinese foreign ministry\u2019s website late on Monday, China\u2019s top diplomat, State Councillor Wang Yi, said this was \u201cby no means accidental.\u201d\n\u201cIt is mainly that individual economies insisted on imposing their own texts on other parties, excusing protectionism and unilateralism, and not accepting reasonable revisions from the Chinese and other parties,\u201d the ministry cited Wang as saying, in an oblique reference to the United States.\n\u201cThis practice caused dissatisfaction among many economies, including China, and it is obviously not in line with the consensus principle adhered to by APEC.\u201d\nOn Monday, China\u2019s foreign ministry said the United States, whose APEC delegation was led by Vice President Mike Pence, attended the summit in a \u201cblaze of anger\u201d and that China had not gone to \u201cget into a boxing ring.\u201d\nPence said the United States would not back down from the trade dispute, and might even double tariffs, unless Beijing bowed to U.S. demands.\nOn Tuesday, a Chinese foreign ministry spokesman added to the criticism of the failure to sign the communique.\n\u201cAn individual member\u201d of APEC would not heed other members and insisted on trying to add content \u201charming other countries\u2019 basic interests,\u201d trying to \u201cput on a coat of legitimacy to its protectionist, unilateralist ways,\u201d Geng Shuang told a daily news briefing.\n\u201cPAYING LIP SERVICE\u201d\nSpeaking to Reuters, a White House official said the suggestion that the United States was responsible for the APEC breakdown was \u201ccomplete spin and propaganda from the Chinese.\u201d\n\u201cAll 20 out of 21 nations were prepared to sign on with the language that was finalised with the exception of China,\u201d said the official, who did not want to be identified by name, adding that China had seen a line in proposed text referring to unfair trade practices as a veiled shot at it.\n\u201cWe were pushing to get this done, and they just were not having it,\u201d the official said.\nThe official said it did not bode well for the Trump-Xi G20 meeting.\n\u201cThe White House saw ASEAN and APEC as setting the stage for the G20; Pence spoke with the Chinese premier at ASEAN briefly and with Xi at APEC briefly about what President Trump wants to discuss at the G20.\n\u201cWe want to be hopeful,\u201d the official said. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t say expectations are high after our experience.\u201d\nThe trade dispute between China and the United States, the world\u2019s two largest economies, has weighed on financial markets ahead of the meeting in Argentina, which some have billed as the most important in years between the two countries.\nTrump has imposed tariffs on $250 billion worth of Chinese imports to force concessions on a list of demands that would change the two countries\u2019 terms of trade. China has responded with import tariffs on U.S. goods.\nWashington wants Beijing to improve market access and intellectual property protections for U.S. companies, cut industrial subsidies and reduce a $375 billion trade gap.\nLast week, Reuters reported that China had delivered a written response to U.S. demands for wide-ranging trade reforms, though a senior Trump administration official said it was unlikely to bring a breakthrough during the two leaders\u2019 talks.\nIt appeared Trump and Xi had indicated to senior advisers that they wanted to flesh out a deal, Craig Allen, the president of the U.S.-China Business Council, told Reuters this month.\n\u201cThis could be the basis for a ceasefire, a halt to new tariffs, and an opportunity for new negotiations,\u201d Allen said of the planned G20 meeting. \u201cBut I don\u2019t think it\u2019s a guaranteed slam dunk.\u201d \u2013 Reuters\nPrevious articleChina\u2019s Xi visits Philippines as Duterte pressed to take tougher line\nNext articleBut is it art?

        "title": "First Look: 'American Gods' Episodes 5-8 - GeekMom",
        "raw_content": "First Look: \u2018American Gods\u2019 Episodes 5-8\nc. STARZ\nI may have mentioned in my previous write-up that Neil Gaiman\u2019s American Gods is one of my favorite books. You know, in passing. A million or so times. You may also remember I mentioned episodes 1-4 of the STARZ Original series were phenomenal, absolutely blowing my expectations out of the water and gifting viewers with that very rare gift of an adaptation based on a deep understanding, and clear abiding love, of the source material while also taking into careful consideration that novel writing and screen writing are entirely different beasts. Which, quite frankly, is something I didn\u2019t understand all that well before GeekDad Jamie Greene let me sit in on his interview with Daniel Abraham and Ty Francks (see James S.A. Corey).\nHow many times have I seated myself before a screen, either large or small, and, an hour or two hours or three later, walked away disappointed because I didn\u2019t feel what I had seen was faithful to original work I loved? Many, many times. Some of those second generation beasts simply aren\u2019t all that good \u2013 not everything can be. But there are some I\u2019d like to go back and watch again now that I\u2019ve been schooled in the fundamental difference between translation and adaptation. Now that I understand the latter isn\u2019t a disregard for what came before, but, rather, when done properly, can actually be simultaneously different and more faithful.\nSome things can be directly translated. And that\u2019s cool. Some things can\u2019t and that doesn\u2019t mean one shouldn\u2019t move them over to another media, it simply means one must put additional effort into adapting (both the artists and the audience). American Gods isn\u2019t a book which could ever be translated: it\u2019s too dense, too rich, too much. There are also places in which it is too little, either by function of authorial intent (readers need room to use their imaginations after all and the best writers know this) or by function of externally imposed limitations (Gaiman was asked to remove 50K from the original manuscript and was only able to put half of those works back in for the 10th anniversary, author-preferred edition). Also, in truth a writer\u2019s work is never done. No matter how skilled and how experienced an author is, there\u2019s always something he would do differently if given the chance to go back and do \u201cit\u201d over again. Whatever it is.\nAll of this is not to say writers and showrunners being cognizant of the aforementioned is always going to produce something remarkable, or even something halfway decent. Some things just suck. Also, a thing can be faithful and well executed and not appeal to every member of the audience. That\u2019s the nature of art, any art, really.\nIn the case of STARZ\u2019s 8-episode adaptation of American Gods, we fan-people have been given the gift of an adaptation faithful to the sensibility of the source material with additions and subtractions which almost unilaterally strengthen the story and the living presence of the characters. There are enough of the original dialogue and details to satisfy even the most rabid among us (of which I could myself one) and enough which is new to draw both our numbers, and those new to the story, into this surreal, magical entity of a story.\nDetails? Absolutely not. I wouldn\u2019t do that to you even if, as I mentioned when I previewed episodes 1-4, there weren\u2019t a strict anti-spoiler policy in place. I won\u2019t leave you entirely bereft, however. Here are a very few of the things you can expect to see and adore about the second half of American Gods, Season 1:\nWhere before there were interesting, multi-layered female characters, there are now queens without whom the story cannot be told; without whom the story doesn\u2019t exist.\nA man where there was truly only a shadow.\nLove where there was only a chance encounter.\nDeep, gorgeous, troubling, vicious history where before there were only interludes.\nMore magic in places that already seemed full to bursting with it.\nThank you, to the cast and crew, the writers and producers and showrunners.\nThank you from the bottom of my fangirl heart.\nSeason 1 of American Gods airs Sundays at 9pm on the STARZ network; it posts earlier in the day on the STARZ app. Outside of the US, American Gods is available on Amazon Prime. Season 2 has been confirmed although an air date has not yet been announced.\nFiled Under: Books, Entertainment, Featured, GeekMom, TV and Movies\nTags: American Gods, Starz\n\u2190 Discover Your Inner Hero with \u2018Heroic Inspirations\u2019\nFun and Function \u2013 Weighted Compression Vest.

        "raw_content": "How To Boost The Level of Excitement You Experienced Early In a Relationship\nHolding hands and stealing kisses. Doing it like bunnies. Finding excuses to be together and get intimate almost every instant.\nSuch is the passion experienced by partners in the beginning of almost every relationship. But have you noticed that oftentimes, when you\u2019re in a long-term relationship, it is natural to feel the lack of the initial spark on and off.\nWe\u2019ve all been there, when we started feeling that the new relationship vibe or the \u201choneymoon period\u201d fading slowly. This can be due to several factors, which may include but are not limited to the lack of time, the absence of interest, feeling immense pressure and stressed out at work or not knowing how to handle problems and so on and so forth.\nThis is how the shine in a relationship starts dulling and the initial excitement or the heydays of the relationship seem like a distant dream. This happens to the best of us, and to the best of couples.\nThe good news is that there are ways to recover and to cope and let me tell you, these are not too hard! Here are some easy takeaways that you can use to bring back the same level of excitement and energy in your relationship.\nHug and Kiss Often\nBelieve it or not, but hugging and kissing your partner has more benefits than having sex.\nHug them when you wake up from sleep. Kiss them when they do something amazing for you. Hug and kiss to let them know how much you\u2019re going to miss them while going to work. Repeat the act when you come back to tell them that you\u2019ve been waiting for this moment all the while. Kiss and hug them to tell how much you love them and how special they are for you.\nDo this without fail every day and this will keep the old flame burning. And that smile you see on their face after this will be priceless!!\nCouples who have fun together stay together. A good, hearty laugh starts your day on a positive note and helps you inch towards your goal easily.\nBegin by making a list of things that made you laugh in the past such as watching old videos and photos together, going to a photo booth and making hilarious faces, taking a skinny dip in the pool, playing dress up, taking fun challenges on the internet etc. Real life, exciting activities which bring you actively together and involve into some action will work wonders if shared together!\nNot only will laughter keep the stress ay bay, but will also help you create some of the best memories of your life and therefore, ignite flames of passion once more.\nLove the Cheap Thrills\nRomantic treats are not always about candle-lit dinners and live music.\nRemember the paintball scene from 10 Things I Hate About You? You can do something bizarre and offbeat of that sort. For instance, you can take the initiative and find something that\u2019s inexpensive yet intimate for both of you. It can be hitchhiking a ride to the outskirts of the city and enjoying a picnic under the stars. Similarly, you can also make merry by enjoying a boat ride or simply going to the nearest amusement park and holding hands or and get kissing as you get on a rollercoaster ride.\nAt the end of the day, it\u2019s all about bringing back that same level of thrill in the relationship and recreating the magic that you once had. This takes us to the next point.\nPush Yourselves\nOne of the mainstays of new relationship is getting to know each other better. You constantly discover new and intriguing quirks and this keeps you both going. As the relationship progresses, you feel that you know almost everything about your partner down to the most basic level. Soon enough, you\u2019ll find that there remains nothing new to discover. Quite a dampener isn\u2019t it?\nHowever, this may not be true. What you can do is push yourselves and make it a point to discover more about each other. Strive to be open and curious to know your partner up, close and personal. This particular shift in your mindset can be the bridge that connects you both and helps you come closer than ever.\nYou can do this by taking a part in challenging activities such as dance classes, join gaming enthusiasts, train together (perhaps for a marathon) etc. These activities will help you work as a team and make you see your partner\u2019s totally unlike personality. Who knows, you may fall in love with them once more, this time in a different way!\nGo on a Break\nIf Ross and Rachel can do it, so can you!\nI\u2019m talking about taking a break from the routine and from each other, albeit temporarily. This doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that you start seeing other people, but learn to know yourself better and appreciate your partner in their absence. When you step aside, you get the opportunity to use distance to make the heart grow fonder.\nThe more you end up missing your partner and vice versa, the more you\u2019ll see your relationship thrive as soon as break time is over.\nMoreover, if you\u2019ve been having arguments way too frequently, you can use the \u2018off time\u2019 to collect yourself, bring in some calm and refuel your love for your partner. You just have to ensure that the pangs of separation doesn\u2019t end up being pangs of distress.\nFor this purpose, you can take a solo trip or go on a retreat away from your partner. It may look like you\u2019re giving up on them, but in the end, this is how a break will not break up the relationship, but strengthen it like never before.\nRelationships are often hit below the belt due to an overdose of monotony.\nThis is when you need to chalk out a plan that helps you include a bit of excitement in your everyday routine. For instance, if your routine involves taking care of the kids or attending lectures, plan out a time that\u2019s exclusively meant for you and your partner to mingle. Some of the ideas that can help you break the shackles of ennui in your relationship can include:\nWake up every morning and go on a 10-minute sprint to talk about how you\u2019re going to plan your day.\nWait for the kids to leave and hit the shower or a warm, refreshing bath together.\nIf singing is your thing, do an instant jamming session with your partner every alternate day. Singing romantic tracks or a song that reminds you of the early days of your courtship will work like magic.\nBond over your shared love for movies, games or series just before hitting the sack.\nAromatherapy can often enhance the mood for both of you. Try opting for a sensual massage or lighting up scented candles in the bedroom to turn up the romance.\nDo something adventurous once in a while. This can be driving all the way to a beach and skinny dip in the middle of a moonlight.\nOverall, make it a point to invest quality time for each other and keep doing something out of the blue as much as you can. This takes us to the next point.\nSpring Up Some Surprises\nWe all love being surprised and it costs literally nothing to come up with ideas that catch them off guard. Leaving flowers on their dashboard, notes on the refrigerator, packing special lunches for them, dancing to the song of your first dance are some of the warm, soothing gesture that will help you bond better with each other and feel the love!\nFor instance, if your partner is a die-hard fan of Johnny Depp, rent DVDs of his top movies and run a movie marathon in the comforts of your living room. Alternatively, you could just \u201cNetflix and Chill.\u201d\nSimilarly, you can go for an impromptu lunch date by dropping at your partner\u2019s place of work. Another alternative is to pick them up from their work and stop by at a diner that used to be frequented by you both and rekindle those fond memories.\nIf you are more of an outdoors-y person, book a suite in a hotel and take off for a staycation and rediscover various places of interest and take part in various activities in the city. You can also go for camping on weekend, away from the hustle and bustle for some alone time with your significant other.\nIs your partner a bit stubborn when it comes to getting out of her comfort zone? Read about how to encourage her to try new things.\nYou can also surprise them by signing up for something that you both admire and enjoy. It can be fishing, learning pottery, going for art classes, exchanging notes on your latest reads etc.\nIndulge in Countdowns\nCountdowns do have the desired effect on your and your partner. To begin with, you can dedicate a special place in your home such as the refrigerator or the top of the fireplace, where you can display placards or notes that point at countdown to special days. It will give you something to look forward to everyday.\nYou can start countdown to your anniversary, monthersary, first date anniversary, days to go for your annual trip, time left for special days such as Valentine\u2019s day and so on and so forth.\nP.S. It will also save you from forgetting the important occasions and rekindle the love between you and your partner.\nAll said and done, these are some of the ways that can help you prevent a permanent downward spiral for you and your partner. Apart from these, you can devote time in doing more thoughtful activities for/with your partner. In essence, it is all about being thoughtful and considerate and this way, the spark between you both will never fade. What do you think of these ideas? Do you have some more that can be added to the list? Let us know!\nAbout the author Sandy Funches\nSandy Funches is a freelance writer who enjoys writing.

        "raw_content": "in Medical Countermeasures, Public Health\nVaccination Opt Out is Literally Making People Sick\nMeasles have reached a 20-year high in the United States. Eighty-five percent of the unvaccinated U.S. residents who contracted measles cited religious, philosophical or personal reasons for not getting immunized, according to the Center for Disease Control. \u201cReligious, philosophical or personal reasons are not medical reasons for not getting vaccinated,\u201d says Jorge Parada, MD, medical director, infectious disease at Loyola University Health System.\nBetween January 1 and May 23 of 2014, 288 measles cases were reported to the federal health agency, the highest year-to-date total since 1994. Nationwide, measles has caused 43 patients to be hospitalized this year but no deaths have occurred.\n\u201cPeople who consciously opt out of vaccines are depending on herd immunity \u2014 that enough other people will get vaccinated so as to prevent infection \u2014 which seriously undermines the herd immunity they depend on for safety,\u201d says Dr. Parada. \u201cIt\u2019s a numbers game, and America is losing ground in the fight against preventable disease.\u201d\nParada says the people he fears for most are those who for legitimate medical reasons, cannot tolerate a vaccine. \u201cHerd immunity may be life-saving for people who medically cannot tolerate a vaccine and these people are the most vulnerable to disease,\u201d says Dr. Parada. \u201cIt is frightening to every single American that people deliberately are refusing vaccinations.\u201d\nPeople who consciously opt out of vaccinations do so counting on not getting sick, says Dr. Parada. \u201cI have worked in Africa and Europe where I witnessed outbreaks of vaccine-preventable illness due to lack of access to medication, not due to personal choice\u201d he says. \u201cI saw moms begging for vaccines for their kids. In America, the collective memory of the horrific outbreaks of preventable diseases has faded.\u201d\nMany simply underestimate the risk of natural infection and overestimate the risk of vaccinations. \u201cDeliberately choosing not to get vaccinated while relying that others will get vaccinated is a dangerous combination,\u201d says Dr. Parada. \u201cI only hope those who opt out do not live to discover firsthand the devastating consequences of natural infection.\u201d\nLoyola University Health System is recognized internationally as a leader in infection control and prevention. Loyola is one of a few select hospitals who invest in universal screening of all inpatients for MRSA and was one of the first institutions to require all staff to have mandatory flu shots as a condition of employment.\nSource: Loyola University Health System, adapted.\nMeaslesVaccine OppositionVaccines\nPrevious article DTRA RFI \u2013 Nuclear Test Ban Verification Technologies\nNext article Computation Leads to Better Understanding of Virus Replication\nDTRA RFI \u2013 Nuclear Test Ban Verification Technologies\nComputation Leads to Better Understanding of Virus Replication",

        "title": "NGOs lament limited political commitment to funding disaster risk reduction plans",
        "raw_content": "[by GNDR | 3rd WCDRR Sendai | 17 March 2015 | Day 4]\nTwo days after the devastating effects of Cyclone Pam, a coalition of over nearly one thousand non-governmental organisations has lamented the limited financial commitment by world leaders at the United Nations World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction (WCDRR) conference in Sendai, Japan.\nCalls by the major group of NGOs come as details have emerged that government leaders are failing to agree on a comprehensive plan to meet the needs of marginalised and developing countries. While an agreement is expected to be signed on Wednesday, it is already understood that governments have diluted targets at the expense of vulnerable communities and poor across the world in the draft text.\nMarcus Oxley from the Global Network of Civil Society Organisations for Disaster Reduction (GNDR) says: \"We already know that the targets of the new agreement have been weakened in terms of how nations will be held accountable to deliver the intended outcomes. This reduced accountability will hinder the implementation of the agreement over the coming 15 years. This will dramatically impact our ability to respond to and avert humanitarian disasters.\n\"The current talks to finalise the new disaster agreement have become entrenched over how the agenda will be financed. The next 24 hours are critical to finalise and adopt a bold new international agreement on disaster risk reduction, which sets a precedent for the two upcoming agreements on climate change and sustainable development later this year. What we are seeing is that countries with the money to finance the agreement are reluctant to commit any additional and long term funding to help achieve the goals,\" he added. \"They rightly want to see every nation take responsibility, but they do not want to be tied down to specific commitments.\"\nA strong agreement at this conference is essential. Governments are meant to achieve a new disaster risk reduction agreement that will commence in 2015, that builds on the successes and addresses the gaps of its predecessor, the Hyogo Framework for Action. This previous agreement helped to raise the international profile and prominence of DRR, and has led to the creation of national-level DRR\nlaws and institutions in many countries. However, the Hyogo Framework for Action often did not translate into desired impact at the local level, partly due to the lack of adequate resources provided to local government and civil society practitioners on the ground.\nHarjeet Singh of ActionAid, a member of Climate Action Network, said: \"Over the past few days here in Sendai, we have watched the draft agreement grow weaker and weaker in ways so that it will not make a real impact on the lives of poor people.\n\"We have been disappointed to note the weakened inclusion of marginalised groups in the implementation of the agenda. The new agreement must set ambitious global targets to create strong accountability to those on the edge of disaster. It should also have at the core, the interests of those disproportionately affected. These include groups such as children and youth, women, elderly persons, and people with disabilities. Unfortunately this hasn't been the case thus far and it doesn't bode well for our efforts in the coming decades.\" he explained.\n\"We hope that the world leaders will not ignore the wake up call given by Cyclone Pam to come up with bold and ambitious successor to the Hyogo Framework to deal with increasing disasters and climate change impacts.\", added Harjeet.\nIn 2005, the international community agreed on a 10-year plan to make the world safer from natural hazards called the Hyogo Framework for Action on DRR.

        "title": "How to Register a Camper in Tennessee | Gone Outdoors | Your Adventure Awaits",
        "raw_content": "by Beth Rifkin ; Updated October 20, 2017\nRegister your camper in Tennessee through your county clerk's office.\nRegistering a camper in Tennessee requires having the proper documentation, emissions testing, liability insurance and payment of registration fees. Managed by the Tennessee Department of Revenue, the registrations are processed through the county clerk offices that are located throughout the state. A camper registration, whether new or used, has the same requirements and processes as that of a car or truck.\nAll vehicle registrations in Tennessee require the title or bill of sale and a proof of identification, such as a valid driver\u2019s license or state-issued identification card. The vehicle registration form, available at your local county clerk\u2019s office, will also need to be filled out and submitted with the rest of the documentation.\nIf your car is new, you will also need to provide a copy of your current registration, the Manufacturer\u2019s Statement of Origin (MSO) and the invoice for the new vehicle.\nFor a used car, the needed documents include a valid Certificate of Title and an Odometer Disclosure Statement. The latter verifies an accurate odometer reading and is used when a vehicle is sold from one person to another.\nEmissions and Insurance\nIf you live in Davidson, Sumner, Hamilton, Williamson, Rutherford or Wilson counties, proof of emissions testing will need to be shown when registering your camper. The Air Pollution Control Division of the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation requires that motor vehicles manufactured in 1975 or newer and have a gross vehicle weight rate of 10,500 pounds or less, be tested for emissions in these counties.\nRecreational vehicle owners must also have liability insurance before being able to register a camper. The insurance protects you if you have an accident where another person is injured or their property is damaged. The cost of insurance will vary depending on location, driving history and insurance provider.\nYou must go to a local Tennessee county clerk office to register your camper. At this time, there is no uniform way to register a vehicle online throughout the state. Some counties, such as Benton, allow you to receive an online version of the Tennessee Car Registration Handbook and to have your registration forms compiled online, but you must still visit a county clerk office to complete the registration. Check with the clerk\u2019s office in your area for specifics regarding online registration services.\nIf you encounter a problem with registering your camper, such as not having the proper title, you may be able to obtain a temporary vehicle registration called a \u201cRed Tag.\u201d The application for this temporary permit is available at the county clerk\u2019s office. A photo ID, proof of ownership and documentation showing that you are working to resolve the problem must be presented to the county clerk.\nCheck with your local county clerk office to find out the price of registration fees in your area. Costs include state and local fees and can vary by county.\nYou cannot receive a temporary registration due to a failed inspection.\nDMV.com: How to Get a New Car Registration in Tennessee\nDMV.org: Odometer Disclosure Statement\nTrusted Choice: RV Insurance FAQ\nBased on the west coast, Beth Rifkin specializes in business, food, cooking, family, lifestyle and health issues.

We will read approximately the second half of the book for this meeting, having read the first half in February.\nOur aim is to bring together faculty and graduate students interested enough in the topic to contemplate teaching a humanities course either largely or secondarily about climate and some of its implications for cultural, aesthetic, and ethical discourses. The imagined course does not have to yet exist or be a certainty, but it should be a possibility.\nSponsored by the Minor in Sustainability.

        "raw_content": "To Russia\u2019s tundra \u2013 January 8, 2008\nWe began our journey to the Tundra from Salehard. We traveled on a rough highway, then a winter highway to Beliarsk, a city with a population of about 2,000. A winter highway is just that. It\u2019s only around in the winter. It consists of frozen rivers, lakes and tundra. It was truly amazing the see what God has created in the extreme north.\nWe stopped at an orphanage on the way. Unfortunately, many of the children who would be there were on winter holiday and were with extended families. So, there were only a few children at this orphanage. But, out of all of our travels to date, this received the most resounding response. It was from one little boy \u2014 he was maybe 8 or 9. He opened his box and he about jumped for joy. He loved it. Another young boy opened his box an immediately opened his Bible.\nFrom there we traveled the rest of the way through the frozen north to Beliarsk. We stopped at an apartment to eat and get geared up for our snowmobile ride of a lifetime. We snacked on sausage, cheese, crackers, etc. None of us were really ready for what we were getting ourselves in for. Paul Tokarchuk told us we were going about 12 kilometers to our first teepee. And, so we set off.\nUnfortunately, this evening was full of excitement. The sleds we were riding on were more for carrying cargo, or packages, not people. We struggled to stay on the sleds. Each bump hurt. Each turn, we struggled to stay on. You would think they would stop to see how we\u2019re doing \u2014 but they didn\u2019t. They stopped only after someone asked to stop \u2014 me. Wow, it was hard. On one of the stops we saw the northern lights. How beautiful! But, after almost two hours, we arrived at, what we thought was, our destination. It was a tee pee owned by a Ynunsi Christian family. Ynusi are reindeer herders and nomadic. There are only about 30,000 Ynusi. They move their camps (homes) about 7 times each winter to find feed for the reindeer. At this teepee we ate raw reindeer, cookies, crackers, and bread. Tea is served with EVERYTHING. I know why, too. IT\u2019S HOT. We also gave the kids Christmas Gift boxes from the church in Salehard.\nHowever, this teepee wasn\u2019t our final destination this evening. We had to travel another two hours. Unfortunately, the family we were trying to find had moved to find feed for their reindeer. They left a barrel with directions on how to find the camp. It took another 1 1/2 hours to find it. When we arrived at 1:30am, they were waiting for us with tea, raw reindeer meet, and a warm fire to ease the -30 degree cold we were encountering on our long snowmobile ride. After we ate, the fire was stoked, we were covered with reindeer skins to stay warm and we all went to sleep.",

        "raw_content": "Is the Bay Area in the middle of a real estate revolution? Let\u2019s look at some numbers.\nApril 2, 2014 Daniel G.\nQuestion: Are we reaching a real estate market peak, or are we in the early to mid stages of a revolutionary recovery and growth period?In January 2014, it was apparent that our local real estate reporters had misjudged their early forecasts for the Bay Area real estate market for this year. For example, from the Jan. 12, 2014 San Jose Mercury News:\n\"[E]xperts are predicting a much calmer (Bay Area) market in 2014. That's good news for potential homebuyers, since there will be more homes to choose from, fewer bidding wars and less worries about spiraling prices.\"\nSo far, it\u2019s just the opposite in the Bay Area real estate market\nTwo months later we are in the midst of experiencing perhaps the most sustained low inventory/high demand period in our area's real estate market history. Many would draw parallels between this period and that of 1999/2000. Similarities include a tremendous surge in technology, climbing equity markets, major commercial real estate plans/development all coinciding with (and related to) low housing inventory and immense demand.\nReflecting back, however, the 1999-2000 market was a quick acceleration of conditions that did not sustain much longer than 12 months (from mid 1999 through spring/summer of 2000) when conditions down-shifted following the NASDAQ's deflation from its peak of 5,048 on March 10, 2000.\nOur present low-inventory/increasing demand conditions actually began a few years ago and seemingly hit a seasonal and historical bottom in the first half of 2013. Of course, last year was a pivotal year for values as demand surged only to find a limited supply of available properties throughout the Bay Area.\nIn studying and reviewing the inventory figures over the second half of 2013, it was predictable that early 2014 would prove to be an even tighter (lower inventory) and potentially more competitive market.\nSilicon Valley home sales market \u201cin the midst of a bold, intriguing and historically significant dynamic\u201d\nDuring times of change and when multiple factors are affecting the Silicon Valley real estate market, it\u2019s important to devote some time to reading, listening to smart people, following trends and studying statistics. During a recent presentation, top real estate consultant Carole Rodoni explained that the present market is different from 2000, suggesting that we are in the midst of a bold, intriguing and historically significant dynamic that may be nothing short of a revolution.\nWe must remain realistic about the fact that markets cycle in real estate. There are periods of prosperity and climbing values and seasons of value adjustments/corrections. Still, it's dizzying to keep track of all the activity and momentum building in Silicon Valley and making its way up and down the Peninsula and over to the coast in 2014.\nThe NASDAQ has now reached levels above 4000 that haven\u2019t been seen in nearly 14 years. At the same time, there are countless new, state-of-the-art tech campuses planned or under construction. We have seen a very active IPO market and tech titans emerging and evolving into the next new thing we will understand only later.\nBig Data is part that new thing and how the focus now is on human behavior patterns and the socialization of those patterns. Foreign investors/buyers entering our market area continues to make an impact. In addition, real estate investors have been at least as active as first-time or move-up/other buyers in our residential market for several years running now.\nWhile we may or may not be in the midst of a Revolution, no one can argue that the real estate landscape isn\u2019t at least different. In 1999/2000 the majority of people were not really ready or interested in changing their habits and behaviors to accommodate the investors and speculators who poured funds into the dot-com dream, and there was actual fear surrounding this possibility (including Y2K).\nNow, behaviors have most certainly evolved. How many of us shopped mostly online for gifts this past holiday season? Can any business in any part of the world operate today without technology? The Millennials (which includes our children) have been brought up in a wired world and their habits are markedly different.\nWhat does all of this have to do with this monthly market report? Everything.\nIf we are truly in the midst of a technology/behavioral revolution of which we are geographically at the center, then we are more likely in the early to mid stages of a real estate recovery (revolution).\nIn this case, while we may continue to experience some market volatility due to global economic or political instability, there would be more room for this market to run for several years. If we are at or near market peaks, inventory should already be starting to dramatically increase, thereby exceeding demand and leveling out property values.\nOne challenge in arguing for this being a \"market peak\" is that inventory levels are starting from such a historical low-point, it\u2019s difficult to imagine why or how a significant increase would occur anytime in the near term.\nInventory this low can only reasonably climb to more balanced levels over a period of years. Perhaps the continued increase in values will be enough to attract additional sellers to the market. When final sales prices from Q1's multiple offer activity begin to surface, we may observe a modest inventory push late spring into summer.\nIt is logical, then, to anticipate a high volume (increased number of sales at higher average sale prices) period from April through June/July of 2014. In terms of a more balanced market, however, we are most likely at least one to two years out, from an inventory perspective.\nCurrent real estate market statistics for Santa Clara and San Mateo counties\nIn Santa Clara County (class 1 & 2), the two-year \u201csold\u201d median trend is up 39% while the \u201cfor sale\u201d median has risen 31% during the same period. Here are other data points to focus on:\n1. Median Price\na) Feb 2014 sold median of $696,000 as compared to $615,000 same month only one year prior. Feb 2012? $450,000!\nb) More than 50 fewer closings this February as compared to last and 45 fewer new listings on the market this February as compared to same month prior year.\nc) In February 2013, 2,876 properties for sale. This Feb, 2,430.\n2. Supply & Demand Units\na)For sale/supply in units two-year trend remains down 39%, no surprise here.\nb) Under contract number of units now trending down 26%; however, this figure is constrained because of lack of inventory to meet high demand.\nc) Total sold units also reversing a modest upward trend now down 22% during the same period.\n3. Months Supply & Days on Market\na)This is one of the most fascinating statistics over past several years. This stat alone offers a barometer of intensity in the market. Remember that five to six months\u2019 supply is more of a normal, balanced market. Meanwhile, we have seen one month and under in SCC and SMC and even more compressed in several communities throughout the past one to two years.\nb) Months supply for February in each of the past 3 years: 2012 \u2013 2.2; 2013 \u2013 1.6; 2014? \u2013 one month supply! We have hit \"the\" low-point of the past two years (which is likely the lowest SCC MSI in seven to 14 years or more).\nc) Check out the number of SFR properties for sale on the last day of February 2014: 1126 and the number for sale at the end of last February: 1644.\nd) Days on market shrinking back down to 25.\n4. Sales Absorption\na) A good indicator of increasing year-over-year market momentum/demand: 44% of the active SFR inventory in escrow at February 2014 month end vs. 37% February the prior year.\nFor San Mateo County (class 1 & 2): Two-year sold median price trend also up 40% (same as SCZ and SCC) with for sale median price up 32%.\na) Only 1,089 total actives this February as compared to 1,240 same month last year.\nb) The February sold median price of $783,000 is over $250,000 higher than the $525,000 in the same month in 2012.\nc) San Mateo is the only county of the three where the number of new listings was greater this February than February of last year (596 vs. 580).\na) For sale inventory, in terms of number of listings, has trended down further (-42%) over the past two years; the number sold now down 19%; the number of homes under contract also is in decline (-26%) during same time period.\na) Two-plus-year low (arguably as much as a 14-year low) in March of 2013 (1.2MSI). February 2014 stood at 1.3MSI as compared to 1.7MSI in February of last year.\nb) For sale last day of month remains notable: February 2014 \u2013 578; February 2013\u2013 736; February 2012\u2013 1,275.\nc) Average days on market: under 30.\na) 40% PUC last month as compared to 36% for February 2013.\n\u2190 Fewer homes on the market + more buyers = buyers have some work to do27 California Distinguished Schools in Silicon Valley in 2013 \u2192",

The answer lies not at the time of construction in the 1770\u2019s, but before that when the colonists in Maryland and Virginia were trying to build their first houses in the 1600\u2019s.\nImagine the lush 17th century wilderness with lots of trees ready to be cut down for your house. You know how to cut trees down; it\u2019s what follows that\u2019s the challenge. You remember what houses in your village in England looked like and how they were built. So what do you do next?\nOne of the first things you realize is that you have to build your house quickly \u2013 unless you like sleeping in the rain or shivering in the snow. You also know that feeding your family depends on successfully growing and harvesting a crop of tobacco and that this takes up most of your time. Therefore you have to build your house in the short time you have before winter, plus you have to be very mindful not to let your construction interfere with the cultivating, harvesting, and selling of your tobacco.\nSo do you try to copy the English houses you remember? It sounds logical, but it isn\u2019t for one huge reason. There are not enough skilled carpenters or masons in the Chesapeake region to build an English house.\nThe reason you need a carpenter is because they know how to cut down trees, shape them, and join the timber together by a rather complicated system. These trees are now beams, posts, and rafters, and they will make up the skeletal structure of your English house. You also have to put this structure on a foundation of stones or bricks so it won\u2019t rot or get eaten by termites.\nYou might be able to cut down the trees and shape them after a hard day\u2019s work picking off tobacco hornworms, but the one thing you probably can\u2019t do is create the complicated joints needed to hold together the big timbers. This is the work of skilled carpenters and they are practically non-existent in the wilds of the Chesapeake frontier. So what do you do?\nWhat you do is build what your neighbors have built, which is commonly known as a Virginia house. So what is a Virginia house?\nThe Virginia house is a small one-room house which is built of relatively small posts (verticals) and small beams (horizontals) with a roof of small rafters (diagonals) and covered with small pieces of wood called clapboards. How is this Virginia house different from an English house?\nThe answer is that a Virginia house is puny, insubstantial, and is going to rot quicker than the standard 17th century English house. So why would anyone want to build a house like this?\nThe answer is that it\u2019s quick to build, it\u2019s not going to take you away from your precious tobacco crop, and the small posts, beams, and rafters can be nailed or pegged together without the need of a carpenter. It is also very much cheaper to build than a proper English house which means the money you save can be used to buy that prime tobacco-growing property next door. So what does this have to do with the Hammond-Harwood House roof which was built roughly 200 years later?\nThis also takes some explanation, so bear with me a little longer. The Virginia house was built by sticking posts directly into the dirt and then by putting a beam across the tops of the posts. This beam is called a plate and this is what the roof is attached to. The walls are held together at the top by horizontal beams called cross ties if they are big or joists if they are small. These keep the long parallel walls from falling inward or outward and create the base of the strong triangle that the roof covering rests on. Now we are getting to the crux of the matter!\nIn building the English house large posts, large plates, large cross ties and joists, and large rafters are held together with complex joints which in the 17th century were almost solely the work of a carpenter. In the Virginia house the rafters are not nailed directly onto the plates; the cross ties and joists go over the plates and stick out to create an eave on both sides of the house. The tops of these cross ties and joists that stick out provide the Virginia house builder with a place onto which a smaller flat plank \u2013 not a big beam \u2013 can be nailed to create a flat surface onto which you can nail the ends of the rafters. This means that you can use smaller (common) rafters rather than the much larger (principal) rafters used in the proper English house.\nEssentially the difference between the English house and the Virginia house is \u2013 aside from the size of the wooden parts and the clapboard covering \u2013 the way the bottoms of the rafters connect to the walls of the house. The Virginia house system uses a flat timber plank which is laid on the tops of the joists that are sticking out from the tops of the walls. This new flat plate is called a false plate and is distinct to the architecture of the colonial Chesapeake.\nSo how does this relate to the Hammond-Harwood House\u2019s roof? The answer is that the false plate becomes an integral part of colonial building in the Chesapeake region and continues to be used even when buildings become very complex and more like contemporaneous buildings in England. It reminds me of the coccyx bone in the human body because it\u2019s a vestige of a skeletal past that remains even after its usefulness is gone.\nNow in our case we have brick walls and a light (common) roof structure sitting on top of them. If this house had been built in London in 1774 it would have a principal roof of stout wooden parts with sturdy rafters which would connect directly to robust horizontal plates, but it wasn\u2019t built in London, it was built here in Annapolis and it was built with a slight yellow pine roof structure with a false plate. The Hammond-Harwood House has stout 6 x 8 plates and puny 3 x 3 3/4\u201d rafters that are nailed directly into a 1 1/4\u201d x 9 3/8\u201d false plate which is nailed to short stubby outriggers which are in turn dovetailed into the plates. This, combined with the substitution of outriggers for cross ties, has caused the majority of challenges that we have had to deal with in the wings of the Hammond-Harwood House.\nWhat has happened in our case is that the weight of the roofs \u2013 wood, metal and slate \u2013 has caused the rafters to push down on the false plate, which in turn has lowered at its outer extremity causing the stout plates to rotate outward and causing the lower points of the rafters to rise away from the false plate and expose their nails.\nOur challenge has been to take the weight off the roof structure, so that the plate will not roll outwards and make the tip of the rafter come up and away from the outrigger. This situation occurs because our vestige of the Virginia House \u2013 the false plate \u2013 has been applied where another form of roof to wall connection would have been a better choice.\nThe roof structure of the Hammond-Harwood House, with a visible gap where the false plate has separated from the outrigger\nCategory : Blog &History",

An annual flu shot provides you continuous protection since flu viruses are always changing. Each year the flu strains that are covered in the flu vaccine are reviewed, as each year can be different.\nThe flu vaccine is covered by many health plans.\nThe flu vaccine is the most effective way of preventing illness caused by the seasonal influenza viruses. The risk of developing flu symptoms drops by 40 \u2013 60 percent just by getting your flu shot. Although effectiveness can vary year to year.\nGetting the flu is more serious than you may think. In 2016 \u2013 2017 there were an estimated 600,000 hospitalizations for influenza. The flu can also be deadly, especially to people in the high risk category.

Alkaloids have a ring containing at least one nitrogen atom in their structure. They often have noticeable effects on the human body. Examples of alkaloids that have significant effects on humans include nicotine, caffeine, and morphine. The name of an alkaloid often ends in \"ine\".\nIf a glass of tonic water is exposed to sunlight, it will emit a faint blue glow. The action of the ultraviolet rays in sunlight on the quinine in the tonic water is responsible for this glow. Quinine is fluorescent. A fluorescent substance emits light of one colour when it's exposed to light of another colour (or to another form of electromagnetic radiation). If tonic water is exposed to a stronger UV light source than sunlight, it will emit a brighter glow.\nTonic water contains quinine. When ultraviolet light is shone on quinine, it fluoresces, releasing a blue light. | Source\nThe Cause of Malaria\nMalaria is caused by a one-celled parasitic organism called Plasmodium. Malaria parasites enter a person\u2019s blood in the saliva of an infected Anopheles mosquito when the insect bites its victim. The bite delivers saliva containing an anticoagulant. The anticoagulant stops blood from clotting and allows the mosquito to withdraw liquid blood.\nOnce the parasites have entered the body of their host they invade the liver cells, where they reproduce. After this reproduction the parasites enter the red blood cells. Inside the red blood cells the parasites continue to multiply. The cells eventually burst open, releasing new parasites, which can then infect more cells. Infected red blood cells all open at about the same time, releasing toxins that cause the victim to experience the typical chills, fever, headache, and muscle pain of malaria.\nA stained slide showing the malarial parasite (blue) in blood and the red blood cells | Source\nHow Does Quinine Destroy the Malarial Parasite?\nQuinine is best known as an antimalarial drug. Until the 1940s, cinchona bark and quinine were the best treatments for malaria. Quinine is still used to treat the disease today, but other drugs are sometimes preferred.\nPlasmodium breaks down the hemoglobin in red blood cells for food. Hemoglobin is the red pigment that transports oxygen in the blood. As Plasmodium digests hemoglobin, it releases a toxic substance called heme from the hemoglobin. The parasite converts this toxin into a substance called hemozoin or malarial pigment, which is nontoxic. It\u2019s thought that quinine inhibits one of the parasite\u2019s enzymes, preventing the conversion of heme into malarial pigment. The heme therefore kills the parasite.\nThe malaria parasite exists in different forms in different stages of its life cycle. Quinine is only active against one form of the parasite, so malaria symptoms may reappear if quinine therapy is stopped.\nThe Malaria Parasite's Life Cycle in the Human Body\nSide Effects of Quinine Treatment: Cinchonism\nQuinine treatment for malaria can be very helpful but often results in a condition called cinchonism. Symptoms of mild cinchonism include headache, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, sweating, confusion, and dizziness. A person may also experience blurred vision, a rash, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and the loss of high-frequency hearing. These symptoms disappear once quinine therapy is stopped.\nQuinine also stimulates the release of insulin from the pancreas. Insulin is the hormone that triggers blood glucose (or blood sugar) to enter cells. Too much insulin causes hypoglycemia, which is an abnormally low level of glucose in the blood.\nSevere cinchonism produces serious effects such as heart arrhythmia, blindness, a decreased number of blood platelets, kidney failure, low blood pressure, and anaphylaxis (a life-threatening and body-wide allergic response). Quinine can also interfere with the action of other drugs which a person is taking.\nMalaria can be dangerous for a pregnant woman and for her fetus, so it must be treated. If a pregnant woman is given quinine as a treatment, the dose and the woman's response to the medication should be carefully monitored.\nMalaria is one of the world's major health problems. Many antimalarial drugs are available, including quinine, which may be used on its own or in combination with other medications.\nThe antimalarial drug or drugs of choice depends on several factors, including the species of Plasmodium involved, the resistance of the parasite to the drug, the mechanism of action of the drug, and the condition of the patient. The development of parasite resistance to a particular medication is a frequent problem.\nDoctors have to prescribe the medications that are both widely available and effective in their area. In some parts of the world they may be limited in their choice. Artemisinin in combination with another drug is often considered to be the best treatment for malaria today, but there are signs that the parasite is developing resistance to the drug.\nFacts About Malaria From WHO\nIn 2016, an estimated 216 million cases of malaria occurred worldwide. There were an estimated 445 000 deaths from malaria globally, compared to 446 000 estimated deaths in 2015.\n\u2014 World Malaria Report 2017 from the World Health Organization, or WHO\nCinchona pubescens flowers | Source\nQuinine and Leg Cramps\nQuinine has been used to treat the painful leg cramps that some people experience at night. This is an off-label use of the medication, however. An off-label use is one that hasn't been approved by a regulatory agency (such as the FDA or Food and Drug Administration in the United States).\nA leg cramp is a sudden and painful contraction of a muscle that lasts from seconds to minutes. The pain is usually in the calf but may develop in the thigh or foot instead. It often appears just before a person falls asleep. The cramps may occur on their own or may be accompanied by arthritis or restless legs syndrome. The likelihood of experiencing leg cramps increases as we age.\nQuinine may reduce the excitability of the nerves that control the leg muscles. The results of clinical trials to test the effects of quinine on leg cramps have been mixed, however. Some experiments suggest that quinine can help while others conclude that the chemical has no effect.\nQuinine tablets must be obtained by prescription in the United States. The FDA doesn't recommend the use of quinine for leg cramps due to the potential for serious side effects, including heart rhythm abnormalities and thrombocytopenia (a low platelet level). The NIH or National Institutes of Health warns people that they shouldn't use quinine to either treat or prevent nighttime leg cramps.\nCinchona pubescens saplings | Source\nA dilute source of quinine can be found in grocery stores, Quinine is added to tonic water in very small quantities to produce the bitter taste that is enjoyed in some alcoholic drinks.\nIn British colonial times, tonic water had a much higher quinine content than today and was used to treat malarial symptoms. It really was a \u201ctonic\u201d water. Quinine is so bitter that drinking tonic water can cause vomiting unless the solution is very dilute or unless the taste of quinine is masked by sugar and flavourings.\nThe FDA limits the amount of quinine in tonic water today. A glass of tonic water contains around 20 mg of quinine, which is much less than a normal therapeutic dose. Even so, there are anecdotal reports of people with nighttime leg cramps who have drunk tonic water before going to bed and have been relieved of their cramps. The Harvard Health reference source mentioned below says that drinking a few ounces of tonic water \"isn't likely\" to prevent cramps, however.\nIt's important that a person doesn't drink large amounts of tonic water, which might supply a dangerous dose of quinine. If cramps aren't relieved by a normal quantity of tonic water or by the commonly recommended treatments mentioned below, a doctor should be seen.\nDrinking water may help nighttime legs cramps, especially if the water contains minerals. | Source\nOther Treatments for Leg Cramps\nOther treatments may help leg cramps. Stretching the legs, massaging the leg muscles, applying cold compresses or hot pads to the cramped area, or taking hot baths may relieve the pain.\nIncreasing the intake of nutrients such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, and vitamin B complex may also help leg cramps. Drinking enough fluids may be beneficial, too. Some people report that a sports drink containing a high level of minerals is helpful.\nWhen I wrote the first edition of this article I had never experienced a nighttime leg cramp. Since then I've experienced nocturnal cramps in a calf muscle and in a foot. They are definitely painful events! I haven't suffered from any more cramps since I've started taking a daily mutivitamin/multimineral supplement. I don't know for certain that the cramps have stopped because of the supplement, though.\nIf you plan on taking a daily vitamin and mineral supplement, you should do some research about the best type to take. A woman's need for iron decreases after menopause, for example. Since excess iron can be dangerous, a supplement designed for a younger woman may not be suitable for a postmenopausal one.\nCinchona pubescens trees in Hawaii | Source\nShould You Take Quinine?\nDoctors can still prescribe quinine, but the FDA has only approved its use for the treatment of malaria. In all other cases it believes that the risks outweigh any possible benefits. If your doctor suggests that you take the medication, you should ask for detailed information about the benefits and dangers of taking the drug for your health problem.\nIf you're considering regularly drinking tonic water to get a low dose of quinine you should also seek your doctor\u2019s advice, especially if you're pregnant. In addition, you should check how much quinine your chosen brand of tonic water contains. Drinking a large quantity of the water could be dangerous. Cinchona bark and quinine are interesting substances and can be very useful, but they need to be treated with care.\nInformation about quinine safety from the NIH\nQuinine facts and precautions from WHO\nRisks associated with using quinine to treat nocturnal leg cramps from the FDA\nTonic water and leg cramps from Harvard Health Publishing\nManaging leg cramps from WebMD\nThe World Malaria Report 2017 from WHO\nMalaria information from the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)\nIs a 2-liter bottle of sugar-free tonic water too much to drink in a day in order to relieve arthritis pain and muscle pain in a 67-year-old woman? The tonic water has been helping immensely.\nAs I say in the article, it\u2019s important to know much quinine is in your favourite tonic water so that you can work out the daily dose that you\u2019re receiving. You should contact the manufacturer to discover this information. Going to the company\u2019s website and then emailing them might be a good way to do this. Once you know the amount of quinine in two litres of the tonic water, you should check with your doctor to find out how safe that amount is and how it may affect your general health and any other medical conditions that you have.\nI\u2019m glad the tonic water is so helpful for you, but safety is important. You need to remember that in many places quinine is only recommended for malaria treatment and not as a treatment for any other disorder. It\u2019s important to do some research to discover how much quinine you\u2019re ingesting and to get a medical opinion about whether it\u2019s safe.\nHi, Mary. You need to ask your doctor this question. I'm not a physician, so I can't help you.\nWill I have any side effects coming off quinine after being on them for 18 years\nI'm sorry to hear that your sister had to enter the ICU, STy. I hope she recovers very soon.

Thank you for sharing your husband's personal experience, too. I hope he finds (or has found) a good replacement for quinine.\nMy husband use to use quinine for his legs now he can't get it. It really worked. Great hub voted up.\nThanks for the visit and the comment, pickles. You've raised a very good point. There are different causes for leg cramps!\nNot looking for an 'answer' but I am wondering if perhaps the reason quinine sometimes works for leg cramps and sometimes doesn't, is that there could be different reasons for the leg cramps. Like, over use, or some other parasite, perhaps at this time unknown.\nThank you very much, Marlene. I appreciate your comment!\nAlicia c just wanted to say you answers everyone's questions so nicely well done. I've been reading other blogs and have been very disappointed in the way some write on then... Thankyou\nHi, Peggy. Quinine can stimulate the pancreas to release insulin, thereby lowering the blood glucose level, but I've never heard of quinine or tonic water causing pancreatitis This would be a good question to ask your husband's doctor!\nMy husband has had 2 bouts with pancreatitis and,altho he was a light drinker, he has sworn off all alcohol. We were just on vacation at an all-inclusive resort for 2 wks and he enjoyed several tonics with lime juice per day. We got home yesterday and he ended up in the hospital today with another case of acute pancreatitis. Could the tonic have caused this?\nThank you for the information, patience. I'm glad that you had no problems while taking quinine. It's important that pregnant women follow their doctor's instructions and advice if they take quinine.\nquinine is safe for a pregnant woman, 600mg taken orally every 8hrs is d recommended dose for a pregnant woman in her first trimester by WHO, i have once taken it that way and there was no miscarriage\nThat's interesting information, Nellie. I've read reports from other people who say that tonic water helps their leg cramps too, although researchers say the results of their surveys are mixed, with quinine helping some people but not others. Medical researchers do say that a doctor should be consulted before tonic water is drunk regularly because there may be serious side effects.\nNellie Hocutt\nI keep tonic water in my frig. I sometimes wake up with severe leg cramps and have learned that just drinking a swallow or two will knock it dead in it's tracks. Wonderful stuff.\nFosuwaah, you MUST check with your doctor before taking quinine if you are pregnant. In addition, quinine is medically prescribed only for someone with malaria. If you have malaria your doctor may want to try another medication as well as or instead of quinine.\nFosuwaah\nis it good for a pragnant woman to take quinine? am 25 weeks pragnant.\nHi, Benon. According to the following authoritative websites, a high dose of quinine may cause a miscarriage. If pregnant women do take quinine (with a doctor's recommendation) they need to be very careful not to take a quinine overdose.\nhttp://www.medsafe.govt.nz/profs/datasheet/q/q200t...\nhttp://www.medicines.org.uk/EMC/medicine/24105/SPC...\nhttp://www.mhra.gov.uk/home/groups/par/documents/w...\nQuinine does not cause miscarriages\nwill do thanx ,its just dat i've managed to get way more info out of you than i did from my doctor..maybe its cause i didn't ask much i was too freaked out from the whole blindness thing..at the time i literary couldn't see anything,but i didn't even know some of these side effects..i enjoyed reading it btw..i know more now.thank you\nHi Jay. I\u2019m a high school biology teacher, not a doctor. Please make sure that you CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR to see if it\u2019s safe to continue taking quinine. One of the side effects of taking quinine can be blurred vision, as I state in my hub. My research suggests that quinine-induced blindness is rare but has occurred in people taking large doses of quinine. You MUST seek medical advice before you even consider taking quinine again. Good luck.\ni live in africa n recently had malaria,in the past id had it but no other drug worked except for quinine..n this tym it caused blindness..after a few cups of juice i cud see blurred of course but my vision got better within a couple of days..i can see dimly now tho i've been told with time n increase of glucose i will regain my sight completely,is there any danger if i contninue to use it?since no other drugs seem to work?\nI was glad to read your response, Martie. Best wishes.\nMy life is a neverending feast since I left Jo. Leaving him was the best thing I've ever done to myself. Thanks for the interest you've shown. Take good care of yourself!\nMartie, I am so very sorry for the experience that you have described. What a heartbreaking situation. I have just read your hubs about your experiences with your ex-husband. I hope so much that life is very much better for you now.\nWhen my son (second child) was one year old, I fell pregnant because I did not take the Pill for four days \u2013 forgot it at home when we went on holiday. Unfortunately I was married to a man who loved only himself. 'No' was a word he refused to accept. When I realised I was pregnant, must have been 6 weeks, I simply took an overdose Quinine. It was an extremely painful and traumatic experience \u2013 the miscarriage \u2013 and I cried my heart out while I was holding the little fetus in my hand. I still wonder who he/she was and could have been today. Circumstances sometimes force women/men to do things they regret for the rest of their lives.

(Photo by Gary Merrin/Keystone/Getty Images)\nCostello gained even more popularity after a stint with Saturday Night Live in 1977. He played a song that NBC and SNL head Lorne Michaels forbade him to sing, according to AXS. He was quickly banned from the show after, but his \u201ccult status began to grow as a result,\u201d AXS reports.\nThe evening began with Costello and the Attractions filling in on SNL after the Sex Pistols had to cancel. According to Ultimate Classic Rock, their debut album had just dropped, and they were eager to fill the opening. Although his label pushed him to play \u201cLess Than Zero,\u201d Costello didn\u2019t feel that a song about a vilified English politician would resonate with the American audience.\nA few bars into \u201cLess Than Zero,\u201d Costello stopped and said \u201cI\u2019m sorry, ladies and gentlemen, but there\u2019s no reason to do this song here.\u201d The Attractions then launched into the song \u201cRadio Radio,\u201d creating a decades-plus rift between Costello and SNL, UCR reports.\nCostello says he was inspired by Jimi Hendrix and his similar, unscripted performance on the Lulu show.

The cancelled dates included shows in the United Kingdom, Austria and Croatia.\nCostello said his surgery took place six weeks ago, and was successful so he decided to continue his European tour. However, he released a statement stating he must now \u201caccept that it is going to take longer than I would have wished for me to recover my full strength,\u201d the statement said.\n\u201cPost-surgical guidelines for such surgery, recommend three weeks to four weeks recovery depending on whether you are returning to a desk job or an occupation that involves physical work or travel,\u201d he wrote. \u201cIt was impossible to judge how this advisory would line up with the demands on a traveling musician, playing 90-minute to 2-hour plus performances on a nightly basis but by the time we reached the Edinburgh Playhouse, I was almost fooled into thinking that normal service had been resumed.\u201d\n5 Fast Facts, Celebrities, Net Worth\nElvis Costello has built himself a $70 million empire over the last four decades, through a combination of his musical talents, acting and composing.",

        "title": "How to Manage Your Moving Costs After Selling A Home",
        "raw_content": "Moving is stressful enough without having to worry about unexpected costs popping up. Many professional movers have extra fees for different things and those fees can really add up. The initial estimate you receive is one based on the weight of the load and the distance traveled, but that doesn\u2019t always tell you the whole story.\nFortunately, there are ways to avoid having to pay more than you bargained for on moving day!\nWays to Manage Your Moving Costs\nIf you plan on hiring a mover, you need to know the fee structure before you ever agree to hiring them. Getting multiple moving quotes from licensed and insure moving companies is a great option, and can be done at this website free of charge.\nObviously, if you turn over everything to the movers; packing, loading, and unpacking, then you will have to pay for all of that. If the objective is to save money, try to do as much yourself as possible. You also should try to have as open of a time window as possible. Using a shared truck is much cheaper than having the truck all to yourself.\nCommon & Uncontrollable Moving Expenses\nStorage needs are a common expense during a move. Moving when your new home is not ready may mean you need someone to store your belongings for you.\nThere are some things that are completely out of your control, and those things may cost you. For instance, a home that is not accessible to large vehicles, possibly due to a narrow passage way, will result in the mover having to use a shuttle, which will incur extra fees.\nAlso, if the mover must carry your belongings over a very long stretch of space, such as 75 feet, you will incur an extra fee for such a long carry. If you have massive furniture or other items that cannot be broken down to fit through a narrow corridor (such as a grand piano), you will need to pay to have it hoisted up and through a window.\nAnother charge that many do not expect is for keeping the movers idle at your location. If for some reason you are not ready and you keep the movers waiting for a very long time, just understand that the meter is running, so to speak.\nPicking the Right Time To Move\nKeep in mind, if you choose to move at the time most other people are moving, you will pay for it.\nSummertime is the most popular time to move and moving companies take advantage of that by pricing accordingly. In some states, the heat is oppressive and the guys doing the moving certainly deserve some extra pay. If you want to save money here, move during the off-season. The most affordable months go from September to May.\nAnother thing to consider is that the very best movers are almost impossible to book during the busy season, leaving those who didn\u2019t reserve their moves well in advance with more amateurish movers. You are much more likely to get a great mover in the off-season. You will also pay more to move during a holiday or on the first and last days of a month. Within the week, Tuesday is the best day to move since it is the least popular. Weekends are the busiest for movers.\nAnd on to the cost of moving insurance\u2026the basic liability coverage (rated at only 60 cents an item) may not be enough to calm your fears over your stuff. If you have lots of sentimental value stored in your belongings, you may need to spring for the full value protection.\nBefore you sell your home and decide on a moving company, have an answer for each of the issues raised. You can set a rock solid budget that meets your moving needs while still not breaking the bank!\n2018-06-08T22:40:13+00:00\tBy Hillary Hobson|Real Estate Investing|Comments Off on How to Manage Your Moving Costs\n| Comments Off on 7 Easy Tips for Estate Executors",

Elected deputy from Paris to the Estates-General, he was chosen president of the third estate on May 5, 1789, and led the famous proceedings in the Tennis Court on June 20. He was proclaimed the first mayor of Paris on July 15, 1789. He was reelected mayor in August 1790 but lost popularity, particularly after his order to the national guard to disperse a riotous crowd led to the massacre of the Champ de Mars on July 17, 1791. Bailly retired on Nov. 16, 1791, and went to Nantes in July 1792, where he composed M\u00e9moires d'un t\u00e9moin de la R\u00e9volution (\"Memoirs of a Witness of the Revolution\"), an incomplete narrative of the extraordinary events of his public life. Late in 1793 Bailly went to Melun to join his friend, scientist Pierre-Simon Laplace, but was recognized, arrested, and taken before the revolutionary tribunal at Paris on November 10.

Following an announcement by the Chair, members of the audience may choose to leave the room. The footage is NOT suitable for anybody under age, including minors accompanied by adults or teachers.\nSome video footage recently aired by ABC News in late April of this year has brought the issue of impunity for gross acts of human rights violations in the UAE to the attention of a larger audience. The footage, reportedly produced in 2005, depicts Sheikh Issa bin Zayed al Nahyan, brother of the country's crown prince, Sheikh Mohammed, and younger brother of the President of the U.A.E., Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed, severely torturing an Afghani grain dealer. Parts of the tapes were allegedly shown to an US employee at the US Embassy in Abu Dhabi at the time. Later, excerpts of the tapes were introduced in court in the United States on behalf of a former business associate of Sheikh Issa\u2019s in a currently pending civil suit under the Torture Victims Protection Act.\nOver the weekend, the Abu Dhabi Public Prosecution Office issued a statement that the Judicial Department of Abu Dhabi had accepted the recommendation of its Human Rights Office to refer all documents related to the broadcasted videos to the Abu Dhabi Public Prosecution Office. The Human Rights Office had met with the victim, and recommended the suspension of all individuals involved from their duties pending a criminal investigation. According to an UAE official representative, Sheikh Issa was put in pretrial detention in a jail attached to a police station. That the sense of impunity is not limited to members of the royal family, but also includes other UAE citizens, was highlighted by the State Department Country Report for 2008: \u201dTrafficking in persons continued, and legal and societal discrimination against women and noncitizens was pervasive. The government severely restricted the rights of foreign workers. Abuse of foreign domestic servants was common.\u201d\nPlease contact Hans Hogrefe (Rep.

        "raw_content": "In Los Angeles, Artists Open a Museum to Resist Displacement\nA new arts space, the Artists\u2019 Loft Museum Los Angeles, opened in the Arts District studio of two artists who might be forced out of their longtime home and workspace.\nMatt StrombergSeptember 6, 2017\nAnti-eviction banners across the street from the Artists\u2019 Loft Museum Los Angeles (ALMLA) (all photos by the author for Hyperallergic)\nLOS ANGELES \u2014 Over the past 18 months, the debate over arts and gentrification in Los Angeles has largely focused on the neighborhood of Boyle Heights, where local activists have taken aim at a recent influx of galleries and artist-run spaces that they claim are hastening displacement of long-time residents. Meanwhile, another struggle has been taking place just across the LA River from Boyle Heights in the Arts District, this time between developers and the artists who have called the area home for decades.\nMichael Parker at ALMLA\nLast Thursday, a new arts space, the Artists\u2019 Loft Museum Los Angeles (ALMLA), opened in the Arts District studio of artists Michael Parker and Alyse Emdur. The couple has shared the studio, where they also live with other artists, for 16 years. However, a major rent hike might force them out; according to Parker, with this increase, their rent has grown 200% over the past six years. (Unlike many residential properties, \u201clive-work\u201d spaces in LA have no rent control.) Parker came up with the idea for ALMLA as a way to bring attention to \u201ctenants\u2019 rights and the politics and policies of eviction and involuntary displacement,\u201d according to their website. The first exhibition features the work of 35 artists who have lived in or been associated with the studio since the pair moved in a decade and a half ago.\nAlyse Emdur at ALMLA\nEven before the rent increase, Parker says his landlord, Kevin Chen, made it clear that he wanted them out through a pattern of harassment and threatening emails. Parker thinks he is being targeted because he has complained to Chen about illegal construction that he has undertaken, in part to convert other units in the building into Airbnb rentals. (Chen did not reply to email and phone requests for comment.)\nThe day before last week\u2019s opening, Chen took Parker to court to try to get a restraining order to stop the event on the grounds that the space was unsafe, even though the housing department had inspected the unit on July 27, and it passed inspection, according to Parker. The judge ruled that the opening could proceed as long as the number of people inside was capped at 49.\nAlthough Parker\u2019s lease was up on August 31, he\u2019s not planning on moving. \u201cWe\u2019re going to argue in court, if the landlord tries to evict him, that the action is retaliatory,\u201d Parker\u2019s lawyer Elena Popp, executive director of the Eviction Defense Network, told Hyperallergic.\nALMLA and Frankie\nOn the same night as the opening, Chen held a private reception at his fashion boutique Frankie, located downstairs from ALMLA. A black stanchion roped off the entrance, while four security guards stood watch. At one point, they congregated in front of the door leading up to ALMLA \u2014 not blocking the entrance, but not exactly welcoming people in either \u2014 until Popp went downstairs to introduce herself. As drivers dropped off well-dressed guests, artists and activists put up a banner on the green gate of the storage facility opposite the boutique that read \u201cSTOP ARTS DISTRICT EVICTIONS!\u201d\nFrankie security guards outside the entrance to ALMLA\nChen has his own plans for 454 Seaton, the building that houses ALMLA. He is president and chairman of an ambitious plan to convert the building into \u201cinnovative live-&-work condos, retail stores, restaurants, entertainment, and a world class hotel,\u201d dubbed the Arts District Center. According to the architect Togawa Smith Martin, Inc\u2019s website, it will be covered in murals by local artists, and will have over 10,000 square feet of gallery space as well as an open-air \u201cArt Plaza\u201d \u2014 homages to the artists who gave the area its name, but who are struggling to stay.\nIn addition to the artists and friends who came to support Parker and Emdur, a contingent was present from 800 Traction Ave, one of the first artists-in-residence buildings in Los Angeles, whose tenants are experiencing their own eviction struggle. (The 1981 Artists-in-Residence ordinance legalized live-work spaces for artists in formerly industrial buildings, paving the way for the area\u2019s official designation as the Arts District in 1990.) The 16 people who live there, many of whom are senior citizens, were told recently they had to move out by the end of August, after the building was sold to DLJ Real Estate Capital Partners, a New York-based firm that has purchased other historic properties in LA, converting them into luxury condos or retail spaces. \u201cWe\u2019re supposed to be out today,\u201d said Nancy Uyemura, an artist who has lived at 800 Traction for 34 years, and is planning to fight the eviction. \u201cWe\u2019re just holding our breath.\u201d\nView from the window of ALMLA\nThe Artists\u2019 Loft Museum Los Angeles (454 Seaton Street #1, Los Angeles) is open to the public by appointment.\nALMLAAlyse EmdurArtists Loft Museum Los AngelesArts DistrictMichael ParkerNancy Uyemura",

        "raw_content": "Make a Living and Enjoy What You Do as a Children\u2019s Book Author\nChildren\u2019s literature is not a poorer form of fiction. Writing for children connects authors to the most enthusiastic readers and impacts their lives. A 20-year study has revealed that books at home increase the potential level of education of children later in life. If you are considering writing for children, you will be rewarded by your choice.\nChildren Read More Books\nAs revealed at the Nielsen Summit in 2015, 11 of the 20 top-selling books in the country between January 2014 and September 2015 were children\u2019s books. Children\u2019s literature is booming internationally as well. Kids are voracious readers. They read more books than adults. The publishing industry\u2019s dominant growth sector in 2014 was the children and young adult category, according to the Association of American Publishers.\nReading Improves Children\u2019s Brains\nIt is rewarding to know that your work has a positive effect on your readers. A study of 17,000 people in England, Scotland, and Wales revealed that reading for pleasure boosts intellectual progress. Those who read books frequently at age 10 and more than once a week by age 16 earned better test results. The impact of reading was found to be almost four times greater than having a parent with a post-secondary education.\nMoving Fan Mail\nYoung fans\u2019 sincerity and their sharing of how meaningful books have been for them makes this genre a special one for writers of children\u2019s literature. Children\u2019s book authors love and treasure their fan mail! To give you an idea, the chroniclebooks.com blog on February 18, 2015 presented a sweet collection of fan letters received by authors for Letter Writing Month.\nMaking a Living from Children\u2019s Books\nAdvances vary for children\u2019s book writers. According to the Society of Children\u2019s Book Writers & Illustrators, the advance for a standard project ranges between $8,000 and $12,000. However, as this amount is shared with the illustrator, the writer may end up receiving between $4,000 and $6,000.\nRoyalties are paid after the book sales earn back the advance amount. Royalties vary but typically range between three and a half and six percent for a picture book, and otherwise between seven and 10 percent.\nThe payment rates are different if a writer is employed to write a book. In this case, payment is made either per word or per hour. Per-word rates range between $1 and $5, with $3 per word being the average, according to Writer\u2019s Market. Hourly rates range between $50 and $70 per hour, with the average around $63 per hour. In addition to writing, speaking fees for children\u2019s book writers range between $1,000 and $2,500 per day.\nBooks that sell well also sell in bulk because schools and libraries are ready customers. It is hard work to write something that engages children and holds their attention, but the hard work of writing pays dividends.",

REUTERS/Sheir Locke/NASA/Handout/Files\nBoeing had said in 2016 it could end 747 production amid falling orders and pricing pressure. Major U.S. carriers like United Continental Holdings Inc and Delta Air Lines Inc have already said goodbye to the 747.\nBy keeping the 747 alive, Boeing avoids charges and layoffs for halting production at the mammoth wide-body plant outside Seattle.\nIt also shields newer programs like the 787 Dreamliner and the latest model of 777, which would have to bear a larger share of the plant\u2019s huge overhead if the 747 line went dark.\nStill, the 747\u2019s extended lifespan could be tempered by U.S.-China trade tensions and concerns about a broader economic slowdown threatening freighter demand.\nGlobal air cargo rose 3.5 percent in 2018 compared with 9.7 percent in 2017, according to the latest data from the International Air Transport Association.\nThe 747, which had its maiden flight on Feb. 9, 1969 and entered service on Pan American World Airways in January 1970, allowed for more affordable air travel due to its size and range.\nIt still flies passengers for Lufthansa, Korean Air and Air China, and does have one other role.\nThe U.S. government asked Boeing in 2017 to repurpose two 747-8 jetliners for use as Air Force One by the U.S. president. The two aircraft are due to be delivered by December 2024, painted red, white and blue.\nThe $3.9 billion contract followed President Donald Trump\u2019s objection to the $4 billion price tag of a previous Air Force One deal.

        "raw_content": "Home Arts & Culture Screen Full Frame: So what is an \"experimental documentary\" anyway?\nFull Frame: So what is an \"experimental documentary\" anyway?\nStill from The Lanthanide Series\nLife is messy. Interrupted by memories, distractions, mistakes and boring passages where little happens, it's not experienced in a neat, comprehensible line. But you wouldn't necessarily guess that from watching documentary films.\nMany of the documentaries at Full Frame this year adhere to a tidy chronological form. Biographies march through birth, childhood, adulthood and death. Historical docs walk us through events from start to finish. In an even voiceover, a narrator frames it all: the archival footage, the slow zooms into historical photographs, the talking-head interviews with experts and participants. Roll credits.\nYou can mess with that formula, but don't expect Oscar nominations or phone calls from American Masters for an experimental documentary. In fact, \"experimental\" almost seems to be a bad word in the documentary world. It's conspicuously absent from the descriptions of the formally unconventional films at Full Frame. Instead, code words appear.\nThe \"elliptical meditation\" Devil's Rope (April 10, 11 a.m., Cinema 1 at the Carolina Theatre) allows the complex story of barbed wire to accumulate gradually rather than spoon-feeding it through a pat narrative. Kings of the Wind & Electric Queens (April 10, 11 p.m., Cinema 3 at the Durham Convention Center) turns a carnival in India into a \"menagerie of sensory stimulation.\" Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck (April 9, 10 p.m., Cinema 1) roughly cuts together home movies, animation, journal excerpts and interviews into an \"audiovisual collage.\"\nFilmmaker Erin Espeliewhose THE LANTHANIDE SERIES (April 11, 10 a.m., Cinema 1) might be the most experimental work at the festivalcan rattle off the ways documentarians depart from the safe-for-PBS norm, as her film employs them all.\n\"One is experimentation in form,\" she says. \"Another is experimentation with the delivery of content, how information is conveyed. A third is how different or surprising the information can be in terms of jumping between realms of ideas. And a fourth element is how one shoots.\"\nEspelie, an instructor in Duke University's Experimental Documentary Arts graduate program, made a nonlinear video essay that devotes a chapter to each of the 15 lanthanide elements on the Periodic Table. Also known as the rare earth elements, the lanthanides are essential to cameras, microphones and anything with a screen, as well as to the precise polishing of glass lenses.\nFor Espelie, each element serves as a departure point for thoughts about vision, memory and human understanding. She weaves together vintage educational films about glass, documentary footage of mines and shots that use an iPad's surface as a reflector, referencing ancient obsidian \"black mirrors\" that purportedly enabled people to see into the future.\n\"I'm really interested in thinking about the materiality of what is doing the recording,\" she says. \"But also I'm thinking about that metaphorically, about how screens are really starting to control the boundary of our perceptions of the natural world.\"\nSometimes, experimental documentary trends catch on. Espelie tags \"sensory film\" as a breaking one, exemplified at Full Frame by Kings of the Wind & Electric Queens as well as Graminoids (April 10, 10 a.m., Cinema 1), an unnarrated, six-minute visual experience of wind blowing grass.\nOriginating from Lucien Castaing-Taylor's Sensory Ethnography Lab at Harvard University, the style replaces narration with right-in-the-action footage (tiny GoPro cameras have been a revelation) or simply presents raw footage as a proxy for direct experience. Leviathan, a 2012 film about the fishing industry by Castaing-Taylor and V\u00e9r\u00e9na Paravel, stunned critics with its visceral, immersive camerawork.\n\"All documentarywhether you're making a talking-head, traditional, structured film that's Hollywood-based, or you're making an experimental or sensory filmthey're all trying to establish some sort of truth,\" says Durham-based filmmaker Jeremy Smyth.\nWith his twin brother, Brendan, Smyth made the experimental documentaries Por Dinero and Rice for Sale, the latter telling the history of Bali in 10 wordless vignettes. The Smyths aren't showing at Full Frame, but will screen their films in their Unexposed film series at the Carrack on April 27. They call themselves experimental documentarians, but not when submitting their films to some festivals.\n\"Sometimes, if you tell them it's experimental documentary, they assume that it's not true,\" Brendan says. \"People are scared about that word.\" If they say their film is experimental, people at screenings might assume a skeptical posture before the lights go off. But if they simply say it's a documentary, then people engage with it, their idea of the genre expanding to make room for the Smyth brothers' unconventional structures.\nBoth Espelie and the Smyths cite the legendary Errol Morris as an important influence. Morris' career-launching 1978 doc Gates of Heaven, about the relocation of a pet cemetery, is showing at Full Frame (April 12, 10:40 a.m., Durham Arts Council). Unnarrated, the film consists solely of interviews with pet-owners and the cemetery manager, sometimes shot from odd angles, or from very far away.\n\"Something as simple as not having a medium-wide shot makes me want to see that movie, just to see what the hell he's doing with the camera,\" Brendan says. \"Why is it like that?

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb Artist \u00bb Jars of Clay\nFunded via PledgeMusic, this best-of album takes two songs from every studio album as voted on by the fans who pre-ordered it. Celebrating 20 years as a band, this album includes nrw recordings fo 18 Jars of Clay songs as well as two new songs.\nInland (2013)\nJars of Clay returns as in independent band with their signature rock/alternative sound. From \"Age of Immature Mistakes\" and \"Loneliness & Alcohol\" to \"Reckless Forgiver\" and \"Love in Hard Times\", the album speaks of the universal struggles of Christian life.\nGather and Bulid: A Collection (2011)\nA collection of a few of their recent well-known singles as well as re-worked classics and unreleased tracks, this can be downloaded for free from NoiseTrade.\nA slight departure from the regular Jars of Clay album, The Shelter is their take on a modern worship album. Many friends and collaborators make appearances throughout the album.\nThe Jars of Clay sound adds a bit more electronic elements but maintins the rock/pop elements as well.\nCloser EP (2008)\nAn instant holiday classic that combines Christmas originals and old hymns as well as favorites and gives them the Jars of Clay sound.\nJars of Clay release their most rock 'n' roll album to date, with a great opening one-two punch of \"Work\" and \"Dead Man (Carry Me)\". \"Oh My God\" echoes \"Worlds Apart\" from a decade earlier, while the other tracks continue to stretch what is defined as the Jars of Clay sound.\n\"Save the hymnals.\" When my eyes scrolled across those three words on the CD jacket of the latest Jars of Clay CD, they stopped. I read those words with joy. I agree.\nWhen referring to Jars of Clay fandom, you generally fall into one of three factions. First there are the Progressives, who believe that the band breaks intellectual ground, lyrically and musically, with each new album. On the opposing side we have the Regressives. These individuals believe that the world will officially end before Jars releases a better album than their self-titled debut. Last but not least there is the group to which I belong, the Aggressives.\nTime is a powerful weapon. It has the ability to tear down mountains, change youth into elderly, and sway even the sternest of opinions. Many people who say time is on their side are mistaken. Depending upon how we manage ourselves today, time can be either friend or foe. Whenever I look back at the young Jars of Clay from 1995, I like to think that time has treated them well.\nThe DVD is the latest craze in home entertainment. It boasts higher video quality than VHS, support for multiple audio tracks, and, finally, no rewinding before you give it back to Blockbuster. But not many bands have used DVD yet, especially in Christian circles. However, Jars of Clay is one band that stays on the trend, getting their DVD out before it becomes hard to find VHS' of your favorite movies at your local store. The band themselves uses cutting edge technology in home DVD authoring to deliver 11ive, which includes a full-featured concert and so much more.\n\u201cDisappear\u201d opens The Eleventh Hour with a neoteric pop/rock vibe unlike anything the band has ever pulled off before. Dan Haseltine\u2019s vocals cascade with a newfound energy, and the instrumental accompaniment by Charlie, Steve, and Matt is pure and vivid. 42 minutes later, \u201cThe Edge of Water\u201d brings the album to fruition by employing a banjo and using a folksy descant to show their urge for Christ\u2019s return. Not so much of a rebirth as a rediscovery, this is the end result of a band that has again captured the joy they found from being who they are. This is Jars of Clay.\nIf I Left The Zoo, the much anticipated third release by Jars of Clay, is being hailed by some as the best album of the year, and with good reason. Jars of Clay has an ongoing record of unforgettable CDs, including the famous self-titled album that made the jars boys legends in the Christian music industry and the award-winning sophomore album, Much Afraid. Jars of Clay has continued their tradition of excellence with their latest CD, released on November 9, 1999.\nDrummer Boy EP (1997)\nThis is a re-release with both \"Little Drummer Boy\" mixes, plus a new remix of \"Blind\" and an instrumental piece called \"Wicker Baskets\".\nRiding high on the success of Christian music's best-selling and highest acclaimed debut, four guys faced more pressure and expectation for their 1997 follow up than most artists face in their entire existence. Would Jars of Clay be a one hit wonder? With Much Afraid's release, all agree that question is certainly answered in the negative. Eleven tracks of profound honesty, undying passion and tender insight, with the listener gaining as much from the acoustic backdrop as the multidimensional lyrics.\nJars of Clay's Christmas EP, Drummer Boy, was originally released on Essential Records in 1995 (a second version was released in 1997 on Silvertone Records). This follow-up to Jars' self-titled album includes new versions of well-known carols and Jars tunes, uniquely arranged and gracefully performed. It takes its audience on a flashback to the early sound of Jars of Clay, while celebrating the joyous birth of Jesus.\nBack in 1995, the world fell in love with a fresh-out-of-college band who called themselves \"Jars of Clay\". Their first single, \"Flood\", smashed the Christian/mainstream radio barrier and set the standard for today's Christian music. Although the Jars' guys comment they had relatively low expectations at first, they were unaware that their self-titled debut would eventually sell over 2 million copies, gaining them a double-platinum status, more than any other Christian group or artist at the time.",

        "title": "Why Indie Authors Should Adopt New Marketing Trends Early",
        "raw_content": "BookBub Partners Blog > Pub Tips > Why Indie Authors Should Adopt New Marketing Trends Early\nLindsay Buroker is a full-time independent author of fantasy novels. She self-published her first book in 2010, and now has over a dozen titles in the market. An early adopter of price promotions, Lindsay has worked with BookBub numerous times over the past two years, featuring both free and discounted titles. BookBub readers have downloaded over 15,000 copies of her free books, and purchased thousands of discounted copies. She\u2019s generously shared some of her savvy digital marketing insights with us below:\nBookBub: How did you decide to self-publish your work rather than trying to sign a deal with a traditional publisher? Have you found self-publishing to be enjoyable? Successful? Challenging?\nLindsay Buroker: I don\u2019t have a lot of patience when it comes to waiting for responses from agents and editors (I even get crabby if I have to stand in line for more than a minute at Starbucks), so I had two polished manuscripts sitting on my hard drive for a while before I \u2014 with great reluctance \u2014 started looking at agent information on the web. What I found wasn\u2019t particularly inspiring (not many folks wanted fantasy, especially the secondary world adventures I like to write). But I stumbled across one website that had nothing to do with agents at all. It was J.A. Konrath\u2019s blog on self-publishing. I don\u2019t think I read more than three posts before realizing that the Kindle had finally made eBooks viable and that this would be perfect for me. No need to wait on anything except for an editor to take a pass and for an artist to design a cover. I had my first book up within four weeks.\nI\u2019ve definitely found self-publishing enjoyable, and the speediness of the process has been inspiring too. I\u2019ve gotten my work out there more quickly than I ever could have done with traditional publishing, which meant I got feedback more quickly and built a fan base more quickly too. A year into the journey, I was able to turn this into the full-time job.\nBB: You seem to be a very active member of the independent author community on forums and through your own blog. How has engaging with other authors changed or helped your own marketing strategy?\nLB: The biggest thing I do is maintain my blog, where I talk about what\u2019s working for me (and often for others) when it comes to marketing. It\u2019s a topic I\u2019m always interested in, of course, and I like sharing what I\u2019m learning.\nPeople always say not to blog for authors if you\u2019re a writer of fiction [\u2026] but I\u2019ve had quite a few opportunities come my way because I\u2019m out there where people can find me, and I\u2019m trying to help other writers. People have asked me to guest post on popular blogs, I\u2019ve been invited to participate in group promotions, I got some loving at Kobo, and I would guess that someone at BookBub first plugged my free novel because they had stumbled across my site.\nBB: One of your titles, The Emperor\u2019s Edge, is a perma-free book. What\u2019s the rationale behind offering this title for free, and do you still find perma-free to be an effective tool in your book promotions? If so, when would you recommend authors consider making a title perma-free?\nLB: I originally made [The Emperor\u2019s Edge] free in the hope that people would be more likely to check it out and buy the other books. That worked well, especially in the pre-Amazon Select days when there weren\u2019t that many free eBooks available in the Kindle store. Though that\u2019s changed, I find having a first book in a series free still works for me, especially when coupled with a promotion.\nMarketing aside, I also like that people can try my work at no risk. Since libraries rarely carry eBooks by indie authors, this is sort of an alternative. I\u2019ve gone on to make a couple of other shorter works free, just because.\nWould I recommend it to other authors? If it\u2019s the first book in a series, sure. If you\u2019re like me and hate the hard sell, you may find it a lot easier to plug your freebie on Twitter, Facebook, etc. You\u2019re not asking folks to plunk down money, just to take a look and, if it sounds like it\u2019s for them, give it a try.\nThat said, I\u2019ve seen plenty of people do well and sell lots of books without ever offering a free title. It\u2019s just one more thing to try in the book-promotion world, if it suits your personality and goals.\nBB: Do you typically combine your price promotions with broader marketing campaigns, such as blog tours or strategic discounts on your other titles? What do you think is the best way for authors to maximize their exposure while running a promotion?\nLB: I haven\u2019t had much luck with blog tours when I\u2019ve tried them in the past. Buying ads on sites with a lot of readers is one of the most effective things I\u2019ve done (I just wish there were more high-volume sites out there like that!), because getting so many downloads in a short period of time can lift you up in the charts where others will see the book. If you\u2019re lucky enough to write in a genre with wide appeal, that may be all you need to take off (I haven\u2019t been that lucky yet, but I\u2019m able to keep my sales fairly stable from month to month, earning enough to pay for those Starbucks lattes and keep me writing).\nAs far as doing discounts on other titles at the same time as a sale on Book 1, Ed Robertson is the one who convinced me to try that. It can give a boost to sales ranking and visibility for those other titles as well as the one you specifically advertised. Also, it makes sense to discount the early books if you\u2019re doing a sale and promotion of a later title, thus to grab those folks who might be interested but who haven\u2019t read the earlier ones.\nBB: Could you tell us about your most recent BookBub listing, which you discussed on your blog? What was the strategy behind promoting this title at this time? Would you be willing to share any of your results?\nI talked about using a BookBub promotion as part of a sale/\u201cprice pulsing\u201d strategy (I\u2019m not sure if he was the first, but I\u2019m going to credit David Gaughran for coining that term in his book, Let\u2019s Get Visible).\nI usually run advertisements on the early books in my series in the months when I\u2019m not releasing anything new. In September, I put out a new novel, so I had a pretty good sales month, but by November, things were petering off, and I wasn\u2019t ready to publish anything new yet, so\u2026 promotion time.\nSince the first book in my Emperor\u2019s Edge series is free and is the series starting point, it usually makes the most sense to advertise that one. The goal is always to get new people into the series, because naturally I don\u2019t make any money from giving away books.\nI ordered a BookBub ad, as I had done before, but wasn\u2019t certain how effective it would be since some of the audience had already seen and downloaded the book. Also, you hear about people downloading freebies, then never getting around to trying them, especially these days with so many options available. I decided to lower the price on the second and third books in my series for a $0.99 sale at the same time as I advertised the first (those books are usually $4.95). I made sure to mention this in the product description for Book 1, figuring that people who downloaded the first and bought the next two would be more likely to check out the novels sooner than those who simply downloaded the first. Sales were good for the whole series for the rest of the month, and I sold a lot of copies of Books 2 & 3 when they were sale-priced.\nBB: Over the past year, has the self-publishing marketplace evolved in any noticeable ways? What is your general feeling about the marketplace now?\nLB: I think it\u2019s matured and it\u2019s getting harder to find those little tricks to game the system. I was never very good at that anyway, so I don\u2019t mind. There are more books out there than ever, and the big publishers have gotten wise to price pulsing and some of the other strategies that used to give indies an edge. Some people say it\u2019s a lot harder to get started and to make a name for yourself (I joke that I thought the same thing when I started in December 2010 \u2014 the easy money had been made, and I was coming in too late!).\nThat said, I\u2019ve interviewed two authors this year who did great with their debut novels, one writing in historical romance and one writing in epic fantasy, so I know it\u2019s still possible to come out of the starting blocks on fire.\nOf course, not everyone kicks butt with their first book. I didn\u2019t. I slowly and gradually built a fan base by writing and releasing more books that some people enjoyed. You don\u2019t have to please everyone to do well as an author these days; you just have to please a core group of readers who will go on to become true fans. If you can do that, you can make a full-time job of this eventually.\nBB: Anything else you\u2019d like to share with fellow authors and book marketers would be great!\nLB: Even though the marketplace may be more mature, I think there are still going to be lots of opportunities for those who keep their eyes open and pay attention. I\u2019ve definitely had my international sales pick up in the last year, even in markets where English isn\u2019t the first language (hello to my German fantasy readers!), so I\u2019m keeping an eye on foreign markets. Some indie authors have already hired translators, so they can put out foreign-language versions of their works.\nWriting good books \u2014 and letting people know about them \u2014 will always be the best strategy, but it doesn\u2019t hurt to be an early adopter for a new marketing trend either. Even though I\u2019m not a big forum participant, I usually pop into the Writers\u2019 Caf\u00e9 on the Kboards every day or two to keep abreast of what\u2019s working for indie authors in this ever-changing digital marketplace. In the end, luck doesn\u2019t hurt, but plenty of successful people will tell you that you make your own luck.\nTo find out more about Lindsay Buroker, you can visit her website at www.LindsayBuroker.com.

        "title": "Best Films of 2016 \u2013 Jacob Wilson",
        "raw_content": "My last list in the best of the year lists is always the movies, because the end of the year is always loaded with films getting their debuts in last minute in order to qualify for varying awards runs. That being said, there are quite a few films that I either missed their run in my town or they have yet to make it here. Some of these films include: Toni Erdmann, Paterson, Silence, 20th Century Women, The Handmaiden, Certain Women, Elle, Camera Person, Things to Come. I plan on updating this list as I see these films, so expect it to be fluid (and keep checking it out because you\u2019ll never know if there\u2019ll be a new number 1!).\nOne other note I wanted to make before beginning this list was to acknowledge the lack of diversity amongst the stars and directors in my top 15. Last year\u2019s #Oscarssowhite controversy certainly didn\u2019t seem to really affect the hype train among critics, whose opinions I usually try to keep up with. Only Pablo Larrain (from Chile) and Hirokazu Koreeda (of Japan) are non-white males in my top 10. Some of you may roll your eyes at my acknowledgement of this and others of you may care, but I think it\u2019s important to watch films by people who are not white males and I will try to be more cognizant of this moving forward. My 16 through 22 picks are all about or directed by people outside this realm, but just couldn\u2019t crack into the movies that impacted me most (an arbitrary process, I know, but I try to rank them according to what I felt was the best combination of skill and personal impact). Movies are meant to transport you into someone else\u2019s experience and it\u2019s so important to make that experience be told by someone outside of the the small viewpoint it is so often told from. Here\u2019s to more films by people of color and women going into 2017.\n21. The Club\n19 Divines\n17. The Fits\n15. Embrace of the Serpent\n14. Love & Friendship\nWhit Stilman takes his dialogue-heavy wit to the Victorian era in what is a pretty straightforward period adaptation of a Jane Austen short story. It\u2019s one of the most cleverly written scripts of the year, using the complex social dynamics of the time to craft what almost becomes a sort of screwball comedy. Kate Beckinsale gives one of the best performances of the year as a manipulative socialite making her way through the world. If you can keep up with it\u2019s sharp dialogue you\u2019re bound to enjoy it.\nJeff Nichols is one of my favorite working directors and his first feature of 2016 (he also made the respectable civil rights tale Loving) was a sci-fi thriller that doubled down on Nichols\u2019 consistent exploration of family and manhood. The film follows a father (Michael Shannon) as he tries to protect his son from both the government and a cult of religious obsessives as they try to figure out the strange powers his son has. The central mystery of this boy\u2019s purpose is intriguing, the chase aspects are thrilling, but ultimately the film is most interesting in what it means to be a family with Nichols\u2019 putting his characters in unique situations to examine this question (as he also did brilliantly in Take Shelter).\nEverybody Wants Some!!, on its face, seems like an effort to try to recapture the magic of Dazed and Confused, but in reality it\u2019s so good that there\u2019s no way anyone can accuse Linklater of trying to capitalize off of old successes. It takes place in the 80s, following a group of baseball players in their first few days before college begins. Linklater is a master of having his characters sit around a discuss ideas, allowing for dumb jocks to be the smartest people in the room, and capturing in totality the excitement and uncertainty of youth. No other director is better at making you feel like you\u2019re sitting around chilling with your pals.\nThis is essentially \u2018Texas: The Movie\u2019 and perhaps the most representative story of what is now Donald Trump\u2019s America. It follows two brothers (played by Chris Pine and Ben Foster) as they try to save their family\u2019s ranch by stealing from the bank that\u2019s about to foreclose on them. Jeff Bridges and Gil Birmingham star as two cops trying to catch the brothers, their tenuous but loving relationship guiding them along. The film follows both sets until its final culmination of complicated and unfortunate violence. Director David Mackenzie captures a certain American spirit, one of disparaged people caught in a bad place and desperate for a wave of goodwill to move through their lives. It\u2019s a distortion of the American dream, one filled with plenty of laughs, and that will leave you dumbfounded as to how we got here and where we go next.\nThis prequel to Cloverfield was shrouded in mystery, with little known about its plot or that it was even coming out. The team behind this film were satisfied to take a fairly successful existing property and create something within its world without really caring about the world of the existing property. The known entity of there being some sort of monster attack brilliantly exists in the background while Dan Trachtenberg chooses to heighten tension within the house where Mary Elizabeth Winstead finds herself. It\u2019s more psychological thriller than monster movie and Winstead (and the viewer) have no idea whether to be terrified or thankful for John Goodman\u2019s presence (he\u2019s terrifying, and great). It was one of the biggest surprises of the year for me and it pays off brilliantly.\nHirokazu Koreeda is one of my favorite working filmmakers, he crafts small scale family stories where tensions run low, but spirits often run high. This isn\u2019t to say his characters don\u2019t go through a lot, they certainly face situations with high stakes, but the viewer never feels like these characters won\u2019t be anything other than alright. Our Little Sister is about three sisters whose father, who had abandoned them years earlier for another woman, passes away. At the funeral they learn of their step-sister and eventually decide to take her in. The film then fairly simply follows the four of them as they reside together, experiencing those pieces of life that are most important\u2013small disappointing and joyful moments that when placed together make up one\u2019s being. It\u2019s beautiful, like a cup of green tea warming you from the inside out.\nEarly on Manchester By the Sea decides it\u2019s going to wreck you, with Casey Affleck\u2019s brother dying and the introduction of Affleck\u2019s nephew who he is now in charge of. From there Kenneth Lonergan puts you through heart break after heart break as the circumstances of Affleck\u2019s morose Lee Chandler are slowly revealed. This would all be utterly devastating (and it still is) if Lonergan didn\u2019t make the film equally as funny as it is depressing. Lee\u2019s relationship with his nephew Chandler is often ostentatious\u2013they are two depressed people trying to get by, neither afraid to say how they feel\u2013leading to often vicious and brutal snipes that actually help to relieve the tension quite well. The ubiquitous phrase all the feelings has never felt more appropriate than it has here, for good reason, Manchester will likely exist in our collective vernacular for quite a while.\nThis is the funniest movie that came out this year, even if on its face it\u2019s not a straightforward comedy. The Nice Guys follows Ryan Gosling\u2019s private detective Holland and Russell Crowe\u2019s fixer, Jackson, as circumstances force them to come together. Shane Black is able to pull off perfectly constructed slapstick as the two bumble their way throughout Los Angeles trying to find a missing girl. Gosling is surprisingly a comedic genius here. Ultimately, and similar to Inherent Vice, the movie is about decency, the idea that goodness exists in the world even if it is found in the seedy places one wouldn\u2019t expect. The world is a corrupt place, but somewhere out there is an awful detective who really just wants to make things good for people.\nSing Street is a frontrunner for the movie I\u2019m most likely to put on during a Sunday evening when I just want to be comforted. It\u2019s a John Hughes-esque teen comedy directed by the guy who gave us Once and featuring some outstanding original music. Cosmos is a teenager in Ireland, he\u2019s just been forced to change schools, his parent\u2019s marriage is falling apart, and he\u2019s reached that age where his identity is beginning to be discovered. And then he sees a girl and decides to commit everything to impressing this girl. Following his brother\u2019s advice he starts a band, inviting the girl to star in his music video, and through the new wave bands he sees on MTV, his interactions with this girl, and his keen ability to actually write songs, he begins to reach self-discovery. It\u2019s fun, sentimental, and is actually able to capture all the excitement and importance of music\u2013particularly to the lost teenager.\n\u201cWho lives, who dies, who tells your story?\u201d is a lyric and the main theme in Lin-Manuel Miranda\u2019s Hamilton. This is the quote that most profoundly ran throughout my head while watching Pablo Larrain\u2019s Jackie, his English-language debut, which follows Natalie Portman as Jackie Kennedy in the aftermath of her husband\u2019s death. It\u2019s a tale of personal tragedy, Jackie is dealing with the loss of her husband, the father of her children. But it\u2019s so much more than this, she must deal with the legacy of who her husband is, not only her personal and complicated relationship with him, but how the entire country will view him for years to come. Larrain portrays all of this with a meandering camera, his grainy cinematography is probably more beautiful than anything else I saw on the big screen this year. The personal and the national intertwine in an absolutely devastating tale of loss.\nFrom its opening moments, featuring a Los Angeles traffic standstill that quickly turns into a stage for a giant musical number, I was hooked by La La Land. It\u2019s simultaneously a throwback to Hollywood musicals, while also capturing a modern feel. That opening number, which makes a celebration out of the most tumultuous parts of Hollywood\u2013the never-ending traffic and sunshine that won\u2019t go away\u2013captures the dreamlike notion of the movies. And boy does it do so, vibrant colors splash off the screen, characters are always exquisitely dressed, and perhaps most importantly it stars Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone who will charm the socks off of you. Damien Chazelle lets us believe in the unbelievable bliss of romance. Yet, things can never be all good and Chazelle brings us back to reality. As the characters dreams come true, their romance slowly dissipates, but, lest we forget all the magic that preceded it, we get treated to one final glorious sequence that utterly nails everything that could have been, all the dreams that we experience and the magic that lies therein, whether or not they come true.\n3. Hail, Caesar\nHail, Caesar is a tribute film to films and this, while on its face is fairly annoying, is pulled off brilliantly here. The Coen brothers tell the story of their love of cinema through the lens of a crisis of faith. Josh Brolin stars as a old timey Hollywood fixer who must consider if the work he does (mostly trying to make sure his ill-tempered movie stars do what they\u2019re supposed to do) is worth it. He\u2019s been offered another job, one that will pay more and be easier, but there\u2019s just something about movies\u2026 The Coens lovingly pay tribute to all sorts of films as we see Scarlett Johansson in a water set piece, Channing Tatum tap dance his way through a musical number, and breakout star Alden Ehrenreich try to transition from cowboy pictures to a prestige drama. At the center also lies a comical mystery in the disappearance of George Clooney\u2019s Baird Whitlock, which helps tie together the existentialism that Brolin faces. While the crisis facing Brolin is about the power of movies, it also doubles as an affirmation that movies do have a spiritual worth that can lead us into a better well being\u2013good thing too, because I keep watching them.\nYorgos Lanthimos\u2019 English language debut offers up a wacky dystopian world, one in which people without romantic partners are forced to live together in a hotel and if they do not find love within 30 days they are turned into an animal of their choosing. It\u2019s a subtle and often dark comedy that parodies our Bachelor watching culture that is obsessed with finding \u201cthe one\u201d. As the film progresses though, the nature of the parody changes a little, showing that the opposite of a ridiculous belief, when taken to the extreme, can also be awful. It\u2019s a strange movie to be sure, but was one of the most fun stories to watch play out.\nThe Witch succeeds not by giving us supernatural frights (though that is there), but by heightening tensions in what is, at its core, a family drama. Robert Eggers\u2019 horror flick shows us a horror not brought about by explicit evil, but by bringing us into hyper-religious colonial America, a world devoid of grace. In this world where blame out signifies love true terror is allowed to breed like wildfire. The film could almost be titled \u201cHow to turn your child into a witch\u201d for it so perfectly captures the idea of how something like this could come to be. To boost, the film is beautifully shot and Anya-Taylor Joy gives an outstanding performance. The ending is extremely dark, let that be known, but it hammers home that idea that when we don\u2019t allow for grace in our lives, it is the most horrid of all evils.\nBest of 2016, Cinephilia, Top Ten List\nyou need some kids to broaden? your Saturday movie choices\nYou think I need something like Secret Life of Pets in my life?",

        "title": "Speed Cameras in New York City Are Shutting Down",
        "raw_content": "Speed Cameras in New York City Are Shutting Down\nFiled to: speed camerasFiled to: speed cameras\nScreenshot: CBS New York\nAs of 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, speed cameras are dead in New York City. Well, not dead exactly, but the city is no longer authorized to hand out $50 tickets to motorists caught by nearly all of the cameras. For drivers who thought speed cameras were a flagrant violation of due process, it\u2019s great news. For those who claimed they helped reduce crashes and traffic deaths\u2014and the city itself did\u2014not so much. But the reason they died actually has nothing to do with the cameras themselves.\nHere\u2019s how this went down. Until this week speed cameras operated in 140 school zones across the five boroughs (and issues with constitutionality aside, I think if you\u2019re gonna put these anywhere, school zones are the best place for them.) Cameras in 20 of those school zones will keep ticketing until August under a different law, but the other 120 will not.\nSpeed cameras (and red light cameras) have plenty of critics, who argue that they automatically render a motorist guilty without a trial or a hearing. At least when a cop tickets you, they argue, you can question that cop and their evidence in court, as is your right as an American. And let\u2019s also account for the fact that speed cameras elsewhere have been a pure money grab.\nBut believe it or not, while speed cameras are controversial, in New York they largely haven\u2019t been. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, Republicans and Democrats in the state legislature, the New York City Council, and 88 percent of New Yorkers supported the use of speed cameras in the city. The traffic issues that happen here are often radically different from the rest of the country.\nAnd the city argued that the cameras have been proven to reduce speeds, accidents, and injuries where they are installed. Here is some data:\nFurther, the cameras only gave out tickets on school days and during school hours or during school activities\u2014which safety experts say is actually a bad thing since most accidents and injuries occur outside that time.\nBut let\u2019s say the time restrictions were an effort at good faith, to show a hesitant public that this really was about protecting children and not, say, a pure money grab. (According to the city, speed cameras pulled in $53.2 million in net revenue between 2014 and 2016, or about $17 million a year, which, for a city with an annual budget of nearly $90 billion, is a little bit more than chump change but not much.)\nIf there\u2019s any quibble about the speed cameras here, it\u2019s that they operated in secrecy, with the government refusing to disclose their locations, prompting an investigation by public radio station WNYC. Proponents argue that when used transparently and appropriately targeted, speed cameras can be a tool for safety, especially in urban areas where the difference between 30 mph and 20 mph can be life-saving.\nYou can see both sides to the controversy here. But the reason the speed cameras got killed is an incredibly stupid one. As the New York Daily News reports, Democratic State Senator Simcha Felder, who represents parts of Brooklyn and Queens, would not let a bill re-authorizing the cameras get through the Cities committee without help with legislation that would put an armed guard in every New York City school.\nStill, Felder is just one of 63 senators, right? And don\u2019t speed cameras have support from both sides of the aisle? They do, but state Senate Republicans have so far allowed Felder to stop the re-authorization of the cameras, possibly because he caucuses with them, giving them the slimmest of majorities in the senate and enormous power in Albany. Without Felder, Democrats would control the senate. With Felder, Republicans do.\nIt\u2019s a bizarre way for speed cameras to die, especially with how they were used in New York City\u2014in school zones, and with evidence that they improved safety.\nHero Caught Giving Finger To Speed Cameras Thrown In Jail For Laser Jammer\nA Speed Camera In New Orleans Keeps Ticketing This Guy&apos;s Parked Car\nHeroic Lawmaker Wants To Rid Rhode Island Of Speed Cameras",

        "raw_content": "On May 2, 2018 May 7, 2018 By Jen LucasIn C, Crime, Thrillers and Mystery, T, V\nA couple of years ago I saw a tweet from an author I followed about a literary festival devoted solely to the wonder that is crime fiction. Now I had never even considered attending anything of the like in the past, it really wasn\u2019t in my make up to go and plonk myself in a group of strangers and I honestly had no idea what such a festival may be about. But it sounded intriguing, so intriguing that it seemed worth sacrificing a couple of days of my annual leave to find out what was what. Bear in mind this was before I had started blogging, I had little concept of the world of literature outside of the books themselves and this was going to be way outside of my comfort zone, especially as I had only been reading again in earnest for a couple of years.Now, that festival was, of course, CrimeFest, and in a couple of weeks I shall be attending my third festival on the bounce. This one also happens to be CrimeFest\u2019s tenth anniversary and attendees include some old favourites alongside some cracking new talent. The programme looks amazing and if you want to see just how amazing, you can find all the information you need to know right here.\nTo celebrate this auspicious occasion, CrimeFest have teamed up with No Exit Press and some of the greatest crime writers of our time to bring us a collection of crime themed short stories, Ten Year Stretch. Now the lovely folk at No Exit were kind enough to send me a copy of the book and so I have made it my mission to read through the stories, one a day, to get me in the mood for the main event. Edited by Martin Edwards and with a foreword by Peter James, this is shaping up to be a cracking collection that I can\u2019t wait to sink my teeth into.\nMe being me, I got a little impatient and read two stories last night so I thought I\u2019d share my thoughts with you today. Bearing in mind these are short stories, my intro is undoubtedly longer than my reviews can be \ud83d\ude09 but before we take a look at the first two stories in the collection, here is what the main book is all about.\nThe Hired Man \u2013 Bill Beverly\nBill Beverly was born and grew up in Kalamazoo, Michigan. He studied literature and writing at Oberlin College, including time in London studying theatre and the Industrial Revolution. He then studied fiction and pursued a Ph.D. in American literature at the University of Florida. His research on criminal fugitives and the stories surrounding them became the book On the Lam: Narratives of Flight in J. Edgar Hoover\u2019s America. He now teaches American literature and writing at Trinity University in Washington D.C. and lives with his wife, the poet and writer Deborah Ager, and their daughter Olive, in Hyattsville, Maryland. He collects beer cans. Dodgers is his debut novel.\nThe Hired Man is a brilliant little story centered on the days of unnamed Busboy come \u2018Ice-Cream\u2019 server in the employ of some serious players in the underworld. An unfortunate event on one of his days bas on table service leaves the poor chap in a very sticky position and it remains to be seen if his talent for two scoops will be enough to save his skin.\nFunny and acutely observed, in the rich vein of a proper American gangster style drama such as Goodfellas or The Soprano\u2019s I loved the blend of humour, tension and underlying threat, as well as the poor guys ill fated attempts to woo the girl. A brilliant way to open up the book.\nThe Last Locked Room \u2013 Simon Brett\nSimon Brett worked as a producer in radio and television before taking up writing full time. As well as the much-loved Fethering series, the Mrs Pargeter novels and the Charles Paris detective series, he has written a number of radio and television scripts. Married with three children, he lives in an Agatha Christie-style village on the South Downs.\nAuthor Links: Website\nAhhh. I loved this one. The ultimate locked room mystery. An old man, our protagonist, Barnaby Smithson\u2019s, Grandfather, former teacher turned novelist Richard Treeting, was found shot to death in a locked room with no sight of the murder weapon anywhere and no sign of a disturbance. But just how can a man be shot by a third party, in a room with the door locked from the inside and no other means of escape?\nBarnaby had always know he wanted to be a police officer, and having climbed to the very top of his career in his retirement he decides to investigate that one great unsolved mystery of his childhood. Brilliantly crafted, with the answer hidden in plain sight, this felt very much of the era and yet also very current. A fantastic read.\nI\u2019ll be sharing more of my thoughts on the rest of the stories over the next couple of weeks. In the meantime, if you\u2019d like to pick up a copy and read for yourself you can find it at the following retailers:\nIt\u2019s not too late to make plans for CrimeFest either. Still two weeks to go. It really is a brilliant festival, perfect for fans of the genre, readers, writers (and aspiring) alike.\nCrime FestCrime ThrillerNo Exit PressShort StoryTen Year Stretch\n2 thoughts on \u201cTen Year Stretch \u2013 10 Years of CrimeFest. @CrimeFest @noexitpress\u201d\nSee you there then!!!

        "title": "Psychological Development of Emerging Adults in the Military and transition to the civilian workforce",
        "raw_content": "C C Hicks, E Bell, D Gray\nThis paper considers the unique role that serving in the Australian Army may have on shaping the psychological development of emerging adults. Emerging adulthood is defined as the development period from the late teens through the twenties, with a focus on ages 18-25. For most young people in industrialised countries it is suggested that this period involves profound change and significance for the transition from adolescence to adulthood1. It is argued that the unique environment of the army culture has a positive influence on the psychological development of the emerging adult, yet consideration needs to be given as to how this may impact on transition from the Australian Army to the civilian workforce. We combine the lived experience of the authors with existing research with an aim to raise awareness for the need for more research in this area. Specifically, with a focus on supporting the transition from the Australian Army to the civilian workforce.\nFundamentally, the strength of a country is determined by its military prowess and the army culture is shaped by its focus on war. This is nurtured through unique military training that differentiates the combatant from their civilian counterparts2. Therefore, upon joining the military, a recruit very quickly comes to understand the effectiveness of being a part of a team. Army recruits are subjected to the rules and regulations of the military which require the shedding of their former identities. This process in implemented in a way that is unique to military culture where initial and ongoing training comprises of intense challenges within a highly structured program4. Military service during late adolescence enhances educational opportunities, employment progression, psychological wellbeing and life accomplishments2.\nThe enforced regulations and standards normalize the values of the individual and peer group, aimed at developing mutual respect and understanding, which capitalises on the formation of their sense of identity during this later stage of adolescence development.\nThis is achieved by creating a strong foundation where an individual is shown the way to behave by the provision of clear instruction with repercussions for non-adherence5,6. As individuality can tend to disrupt and hinder the realisation of this common purpose, each recruit is treated the same regardless of age, gender or socioeconomic status, indoctrinated by military customs and traditions. The key purpose is to create a sense of belonging within the individual as an integral member of the team and that together any objective is possible. Camaraderie is developed and reinforced by the basic premise of trust, loyalty and unity. It fosters a team mentality and faith in peers that allows for an absolute reliance upon each other, which is facilitated by every serviceman completing the same basic training and abiding the same values and ethos. To be successful in the military culture the emerging adult needs to have adapted to what was previously a foreign culture and environment and it is important to look at how this affects a person\u2019s personal beliefs and values. The Australian Army values courage, initiative, respect and teamwork7. Military values are tools used to unite and develop individuals who come from different socio-economic backgrounds. Identity development therefore is significant as it creates a sense of purpose that each person can share to achieve military objectives4.\nUndertaking basic training and continuous service within the Australian Army shapes the way in which an individual interprets and interacts with their environment4. Upon completion of basic military training, an individual has been nurtured and socialised into the military culture and hierarchy. Bureaucracy, doctrine and organisational structure all work to preserve social order in the Australian Army by reducing the potential for conflict7. Former Chief of Army, Lieutenant General Morrison AO, referred to the importance of integrity, culture, values and ethical standards in the modern day Australian Army [7]. The hierarchy of the military helps to define the identity of a service person through making explicit the link between a person and the organisation. This is described as a Personal-Organisation (PO) relationship and is characterised by the ability to share similar fundamental characteristics such as values8.\nThe processes of recruitment, selection, training, promotion, education, performance appraisal and discharge all contribute to building a collective workforce ethic. Career success relies on the application of standard procedures and drills with the expectation of prompt, visible and measurable results. After basic training, continuous service, annual performance appraisal and mandatory advancement within the military, continues to shape the way in which an individual views the world4.\nMilitary service provides emerging adults the opportunity to effectively negotiate age-graded developmental tasks and experience hardships that individuals outside the military may find demanding or never experience3,6. The development required in emerging adulthood is undertaken without close relationships with family, civilian peers and partners. Although the military environment is demanding, many individuals successfully complete initial training, adjust to the environment, handle the difficult situations effectively, and find these experiences rewarding and of value6. The structured military environment forces individuals to come together as a group and form bonds to overcome obstacles as they adjust to a new and structured environment. This shows the importance of intimacy within the military context and how the gains of comradery, friendship and career development can influence an individual\u2019s development.\nThe importance of strong cohesion, shared values and teamwork regardless of socioeconomic background is evident through research conducted in Australia, Israel and North America3,4,9,10. Service in the Australian Army shapes and changes values and social functioning throughout the lifespan of an individual and enhances educational opportunities, employment progression, psychological wellbeing and life accomplishment3. The Australian Army has a hierarchy that allows people to climb and compete but function effectively within the expected social construct9. The military is structured by divisions, each focused on achieving a specific militarized mandate working towards achieving an overarching strategic objective.\nA key feature of successful attainment of the strategic objective is the expectation that every individual will perform at their maximum capability. This culminates in a cohesive workforce that produces a result that would have been unattainable without the individual efforts. In peacetime this is no different to many civilian organisations, however during war time, this is crucial to maintain life and secure a successful mission in dangerous and life changing environments. Therefore a team focus with unfaltering trust in your peers is essential to prevent loss of life and promote everyone arriving home to their families alive and well. There is no room for individual conflicts or disagreements, or spontaneous actions incongruent with the mandate as established by the hierarchy. This can only be achieved through highly structured and focused basic and ongoing training that develops skill, competence and confidence while adopting shared values and an unwavering ethos of trust and loyalty.\nThe impact of transitioning from a military to civilian workforce upon the individual, is not fully understood and more research is needed, especially considering that the Australian Prime Minister hosted an event in November 2016 with the aim of finding better ways to \u201cuse the valuable skills and leadership of former service personnel into our modern economy\u201d10. Given that comprehensive military structured training results in highly skilled individuals who embody courage, initiative, trust, loyalty, adaptability and teamwork, transition should be seamless.\nMore research using mixed method research to explore the transferable skills when transitioning from the military to the civilian workforce is needed. Research that explores the lived experience of the Army soldier embarking on this transition along with longitudinal studies that are retrospective and prospective. This will promote a greater awareness of the theoretical foundations of the psychological development that occurs within the military culture when considering the emerging adult, and the impact this has on self-identity, transferable lifelong skills and knowledge.\nReferences 1.

Ultimately, while others just got on with things, I thought too long and hard about them, became too bitter, narky and spiteful. I had an imperceptible patience threshold which too many people took to be the limit of my personality.\nI took this period not to be The End, but, in the immortal words of the sadly mortal Stephen Gateley, \u201ctime for a new beginning\u201d. I learned how to use a \u2018puter properly; I found a job where I could use it better; I began to write for fun; soon after, I started to write for money. Not a lot, but I was paid. What\u2019s more, people actively sought me out. They asked for my opinion. Some of them even paid for it. For a while, I was having the time of my life. I don\u2019t say that lightly either. I used to go to bed thanking my lucky stars each and every night.

        "raw_content": "I think eventually every person finds themselves in a difficult relationship with someone or something in their life that they can't seem to get themselves out of. Perhaps it's a job that you feel treats you unfairly or a difficult friend who comes off as disrespectful more than occasionally. These are relationships that seem like endless fountains of anguish and pain that drain the energy out of you. They exhaust you. Yet, for some reason or another, we find some sort of justification for staying in these relationships:\n\"My job is completely chaotic and it's not what I want to do, but I need the money right now and think I can make things better with my team.\"\n\"I'm fighting almost every day with my mother for weeks, but I can see that she's trying to make things better and she just gets carried away with her emotions.\"\n\"My friend keeps flaking on me, but we've been close since we were kids and I know they're just really busy all the time.\"\nWhat is hardest about these kinds of relationships is that they make you feel trapped. You don't know where to draw the line and declare bankruptcy. Should you stick it out and keep hoping that it's going to improve with time? Do you have enough energy and the patience to wait for it to improve? I've found myself in this kind of relationship multiple times in my life, and I've built up a framework to help me make a decision around these sorts of relationships easier. I've figured out a way to know when to say \"no more.\"\nA State of Doubt\nThe first step in this framework is figuring out if you are in a state of doubt about the relationship. In other words, you need to recognize if you have serious existential uncertainty about the relationship for an extended period of time.\nThis is different from the normal feelings of ambivalence that come with rough patches in a relationship. Every relationship, whether it is with someone you're dating, or a client, or anything else, is bound to encounter conflict at some point or another. Couples will fight occasionally over things like who did the dishes last time or how to spend their holiday bonuses on a vacation. Jobs will have their demanding moments during peak seasons and you'll have disagreements over the way forward with your colleagues. Relationships are rarely completely devoid of conflict, and conflict that is dealt with maturely and constructively is perfectly normal and to be expected.\nHowever, there are situations where unhealthy conflict, chaos, and strife on a regular basis will have you thinking about the relationship in existential terms for relatively long periods of time. These thoughts endure and can't be easily shaken off. You start wondering if this is the right person for you in a long-term romantic relationship, and thoughts about breaking up continuously glance your mind for weeks or even months. You suffer multiple 80-hour work weeks that affect your friends and family without much respite, and you start wondering if you should start looking for another job. When you start lingering about whether you should stay in a relationship for extended periods of time, you are in what I call a state of doubt.\nIt\u2019s also worth mentioning that what you're pinpointing is what you feel about the relationship. You are not considering whether the doubt you feel is warranted or if there is a good excuse for the questions you have in mind. You are simply wondering if true, unmistakable doubt is present in the relationship or not. It's there or it isn't there. Just focus on the feeling, and instinctively, you'll know if you're in a state of doubt.\nOnce you recognize you are in a state of doubt, this doesn't mean the relationship is doomed. In fact, this moment might be the best opportunity of turning your relationship around. You are simply aware that your relationship is in peril, and that means you already are or probably should be engaged in seriously addressing the apprehension. At this point, the goal is to actively work on the relationship to take yourself out of that state of doubt, and if you can do so, you should feel glad you were able to bring things back on course.\nIf you're having trouble with a friend who's not dependable, this is the time to sit them down and have a frank conversation about why you're not a priority and how to rebuild trust. If you're overworked at your job, now is the time to talk to your boss about shifting responsibilities or getting a raise so you feel valued for the effort. This process of working at the relationship is always a difficult one, and it probably won't get resolved quickly. However, being honest with yourself about whether a relationship is in danger is the first and best chance you have at recourse.\nThat being said, there is another thing to keep in mind once you recognize your state of doubt: you are now in a dangerous dance with hope. Chances are, you are staying in painful relationships because you are clinging to the possibility that things will get better with time and effort. As you work through the issues in your relationship, you may see that there is clear progress in how you are being treated. The fights are getting shorter, the conflicts are less emotional, and perhaps the other party is even becoming more self-aware of their behavior. What is important to recognize while you are working towards getting out of doubt is that you are racing against your time, your energy, and your patience. Hope is making you stay in this relationship, and what will happen if an offense reoccurs is that you will find every excuse to forgive the incident. Your hope will convince you forgive missteps and keep working at the relationship at great cost. You have to remember that being in a state of doubt and trying to actively resolve the dysfunction is a dangerous dance.\nSo, knowing the danger of staying in a perpetual state of doubt and locked in this dance, you must also set a clear limit to your efforts the moment you recognize the doubt. The worst thing you can do is skip this step because your instincts, your emotional core, your hope will lead you to come up with every excuse to continue repairing your relationship no matter the personal cost. This is dangerous. Not setting up a pre-emptive bright line to your efforts may crush you emotionally and lead to an explosive end to the affair. Once you recognize the state of doubt, set a limit at the outset and stick to it.\nWhat I've come up with as a limit is three emotional strikes. Strikes are offenses that are so severe that they take you from a state of doubt into a deep, sharp sense of violation. In other words, these are offenses that cross a line from being a forgivable speed bump on the way to recovery and into something that is memorably damaging. Your friend who regularly flakes out on you misses a concert last minute. You saved up for weeks to buy these expensive tickets and you can't get a refund and can't resell. You've talked to them about this several times and already expressed your concerns seriously, but the friend shows little remorse. Your boss tells you last minute that you can\u2019t take the day off so you\u2019ll miss your flight, even after a month's heads up that you're planning a family trip to see an aging relative. This is weeks after he's given you the approval and promised you he could find a replacement if an emergency came up, which he\u2019s clearly failed to do. You'll know in your gut when someone violates your trust and gets a strike. Like recognizing a state of doubt, what is important is recognizing the feeling of violation, and not the reasons for it. You're not choosing to give someone a strike, you feel the offense as an emotion. Remember that you are in a dangerous dance with hope, and you are fighting the instinctual reaction to excuse the violation. You have the feeling or you don't, and it's not something you can ignore.\nNow that you know what an emotional strike is, it's also important to know how many to have. I give myself three. The first strike is an excusable violation to me. I feel they get a clear pass if I'm actively working on the relationship, they are really trying, and the incident is just a forgivable stumble I've come to expect as I work through our issues. The second is sign that violations are developing into a pattern, and emergency steps need to be taken. This is when my state of doubt tends to really solidify and the canary flees the coalmine. Finally, the third strike is pulling out the white flag and surrendering. The violations are clearly a pattern, and my state of doubt has turned into flat out rejection despite my best efforts to repair the damage.\nWhen the final strike you've set up for yourself is hit, that's when it's time to say \"no more.\" It doesn't matter how many strikes you give yourself, as long as you have a number in mind at the outset and you stick to it. I personally choose three for most relationships. One of my closest friends said he'd only give one to any relationship. However many it may be, crossing the final strike is when to go. You may not need to tell the other party you\u2019re finished with the relationship immediately, but this is when you have to be determined to get yourself out of the arrangement and actively plan your exit. This may be before you have completely run out of options to address the dysfunction, before you feel utterly exhausted and spent, but that's the entire point. The purpose of the strike framework is to decide to get yourself out of a toxic relationship before it turns disastrous and really runs you dry.\nWhat I find most useful about this framework is that it takes the agency out of making a difficult decision like this. Every step of the framework has clear instructions about what to do and the emotional turning points are large and bright. The way I explain this to my friends is that it feels like following directions on a clearly marked highway instead of wandering through a labyrinthine parking lot looking for an exit. It turns the emotions you are feeling into signposts on a road towards recovery instead of putting these untamed feelings in the driver\u2019s seat so the wild ride never ends. The decision is made outside of you. You're not personally giving up on the relationship and not giving in to the guilt of abandoning what feels like an unhealthy arrangement. Instead, it feels like you\u2019re just following the rules of a framework that you know is sensible, well outside the irrational, emotional turmoil of the parties involved.\nRemember to Forgive\nFinally, regardless of how this framework works for you - whether you need just one strike or five, whether you have a different bar for what constitutes an emotional strike, anything - after the dust settles, remember to forgive. Being in a difficult relationship is a draining affair, especially if it is entered into with the best intentions and it's arduous for an extended period of time. Because of the pain you've experienced, it's tempting to hold on to hard feelings even after you finally exit your state of doubt. That's both for relationships that recover to a healthy state and those that end entirely after the final strike.\n\"Why should I forgive someone that has caused me so much pain?\" people ask me. I can write a whole other post about forgiveness (and I probably will one day). The best reason I can give is not to forgive just for the sake of the other person, but for yourself. You don't need to forgive because someone deserves it. You don't need to forgive because you think someone's behavior was excusable and you're saying it's okay. You forgive for yourself. Holding onto the anger, frustration, and pain after going through such a taxing ordeal means you will continue to suffer even after the episode is over. If you do not forgive, you will never really be free from the anguish you worked so hard to escape in the first place. Forgiveness is the final step of the framework, and for many, it's almost always the hardest part.\nSo if and when you find yourself in a difficult relationship, I hope that working through your issues will eventually take you out of doubt before you reach your emotional limit. If you do end up passing that final strike, remember that leaving a toxic relationship is for your own health and well-being, and there is no shame in looking out for yourself. Regardless of how things pan out, remember to forgive and it will finally set you free from your pain. I hope this framework provides some clarity in what I know is a harrowing experience for anyone who goes through a difficult relationship. It's saved my life more than a few times.\nno more, doubt, strikes, love",

        "raw_content": "[EN] What Do We Mean By the Word \u201cGod\u201d?\nThe question of God\u2019s existence is considered quite problematic by people today. One problem is that absolute truth is not available to us humans as something we can possess\u2014our own human finiteness, our human limitations, come in the way. Another problem is that there are so many religions, each coming up with their own version of God, that one can\u2019t see the forest for the trees. A third problem is that God is seen as something unnecessary.\nWe also saw, however, that not asking the question of God\u2019s existence, or God\u2019s address to us, leads to tremendous problems in relation to meaning and morality. After all, if we are merely aggregates of molecules and atoms, perhaps with some kind of consciousness arising out of and transcending it that cannot be reduced to the sum of its components, there remains no story to be told about what life is really all about. The quest for meaning and morality continue to put the God-question on the agenda.\nThere remains a problem, however, as soon as we attempt to address this God-question: What do we mean with the word \u201cGod\u201d? We use the word, but immediately make use of a concept or a definition of the word God. The concept of God precedes, so to speak, the question of God. But the people with whom we enter into dialogue apply to this word \u201cGod,\u201d as we use it, their own concept. People who discuss the God-question together all bring their own concept of God to the table. These concepts may or may have nothing to do with the Christian use of the word \u201cGod.\u201d Maybe they talk about Zeus, may about an impersonal primordial force, may about an imaginary old man with a long white beard, etc.\nWhen Christians say \u201cGod,\u201d they refer to the One who revealed himself to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as well as the people of Israel. This God encounters and addresses us in Jesus Christ as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Christian testimony about God begins and ends with the history of Jesus\u2019 life, death, and resurrection. End yet it doesn\u2019t begin and end there, for Jesus beginning is without beginning and Jesus\u2019s end is open-ended. This God is not a God of universal characteristics or abstract concepts, but the God who entounters us in Jesus and addresses us in love. It is a God who comes close.\nWhen we talk about God, we need to keep four things in mind:\n1. The word \u201cGod\u201d does not necessarily mean the same for our discussion partners, as I said above. There is no universal concept about God on the basis of which we can start our discussion. We often will have to begin from the beginning.\n2. Our speaking about God can and may not start with a universal concept. It has to start with God\u2019s self-revelation in Jesus Christ. Our own speech can easily become influenced by our own ideas about God. It is our task, however, to testify to what God does in and through Jesus, then and now, as faithfully as possible.\n3. Our arguments for God, based on what we know in this world and about this world, i.e. here below, will never fully do justice to this specific God, the triune Father, Son, and Spirit. Our arguments can merely be signs that point from here below in spite of their failure and finitude to above.\n4. Christians therefore speak specifically about the Christian God and not about some vague notion of God, philosophical or otherwise, in general. At the same time, however, such speaking begins as a speaking from below to above. As such the dialogue between Christians and non-Christians has to begin with things that both parties know and can agree on. Only in this way may we hope that our contribution to the dialogue will be of more value than just being an extra voice that adds to the cacaphony of voices.\nThus when we address the question of God\u2019s existence, we should always mindful of the fact that there is no neutral concept of God the existence of which we can verify. Such a god can never be God. Such objectivity is not possible either. Rather, we will depart from the notion of God as it presents itself in Christ. We can only talk about a revealed God not an imagined one, no matter how ingeniously devised.\nPrevious Post Previous post: [NL] Een dialoog over het evangelie is zinnig\nNext Post Next post: [NL] Schoenmaker hou je bij je leest",

States were invited to highlight the danger of the arms race, propagate the need for its cessation and increase public understanding of the urgent tasks of disarmament. In 1995, the Assembly invited governments, as well as NGOs, to continue taking an active part in Disarmament Week (resolution 50/72 B of 12 December). It invited the Secretary-General to continue using the United Nations information entities as widely as possible to promote a better understanding among the public of disarmament problems and the aims of the Week.\nUN Disarmament Website\nUN Advisory Board on Disarmament Matters\nUN Disarmament Commission\nDepartment for Disarmament Affairs\nUnited Nations Open-ended Working Group on Tracing Illicit Small Arms and Light Weapons\nDisarmament Issues\nDisarmament Resources\nGlobal Issues on UN Agenda \u2013 Disarmament\nGeneral Assembly 61st session. 1st Committee\nE-Mine: The Electronic Mine Information Network\nUN Multimedia on Small Arms\nUN Regional Centre for Peace and Disarmament in Africa\nUN Regional Centre for Peace and Disarmament in Asia and the Pacific\nUN Regional Centre for Peace, Disarmament and Development in Latin America and the Caribbean\nConference to Review Progress made in the Implementation of the UN Programme of Action to Prevent, Combat and Eradicate the Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons in All Its Aspects (New York : 26 June \u2013 7 July 2006)\nAbolition 2000: Global Network to Eliminate Nuclear Weapons\nThe Acronym Institute for Disarmament Diplomacy\nNon-Proliferation Project\nCenter for Non-Proliferation Studies \u2013 Monterey Institute of International Studies\nInternational Action Network on Small Arms\nInternational Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) \u2013 Landmines\nInternational Peace Bureau \u2013 Disarmament Program\nNGO Committee on Disarmament, Peace and Security\nPreparatory Commission for the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization\nProgramme for Promoting Nuclear Non-Proliferation\n\u00a9 United Nations 1995-2009\nUNITED NATIONS DAY: OCTOBER 24, 2009\nUnited Nations Day (October 24)\nUnited Nations Day is an international observance to mark the anniversary of the founding of the United Nations on October 24, 1945. In the spring of that year representatives of fifty nations gathered in San Francisco to put the finishing touches on a document of far-reaching consequence \u2013 the Charter of the United Nations. The October 24th date marks the day when a sufficient number of ratifications had been obtained to launch the new United Nations officially. A new global institution had emerged out of the chaos and destruction of the Second World War to \u201csave succeeding generations from the scourge of war \u2013 to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights \u2013 to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedoms\u201d.\nIn 1947 the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution declaring that October 24 \u201cshall be henceforth officially called United Nations Day and shall be devoted to making known to the peoples of the world the aims and achievements of the UN, and to gaining their support for the work of the United Nations\u201d. UN Day is now marked in the 189 UN Member States, large and small, throughout the world.\nOver the years UN Day has been observed in hundreds of communities across Canada. Those observations have taken many forms, from symbolic events such as the flying of the UN flag in civic venues to serious debates and forums about the issues before the UN, their relevance to Canada, and suggestions on how to address world problems through international co-operation.\nThe generations born after the founding of the UN in 1945 have come to realize that the UN offers no \u201cquick fix\u201d to international problems but that it is an essential instrument through which multilateral processes can be brought to bear to contribute to the solutions to global problems. A United Nations Day programme offers an opportunity to groups and individuals to acquaint themselves with the activities and the accomplishments of the UN \u2013 and to address the challenges we face together as the world moves into a new century.\nPrevious Observances:\n\u201cThe campaign to make poverty history-a central moral challenge of our age-cannot remain a task for the few, it must become a calling for the many. On this International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, I urge everyone to join this struggle. Together, we can make real and sufficient progress towards the end of poverty.\u201d\nUnited Nations Ex-Secretary-General, Kofi Annan\n\u201cExcerpts taken from his message to be delivered on the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, 17 October 2006\u201d.\nThe observance of the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty can be traced back to 17 October 1987. On that day, over a hundred thousand people gathered at the Trocad\u00e9ro in Paris, where the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was signed in 1948, to honour the victims of extreme poverty, violence and hunger. They proclaimed that poverty is a violation of human rights and affirmed the need to come together to ensure that these rights are respected. These convictions are inscribed in a commemorative stone unveiled on this day. Since then, people of all backgrounds, beliefs and social origins have gathered every year on October 17 th to renew their commitment and show their solidarity with the poor. Replicas of the commemorative stone have been unveiled around the world and serve as a gathering place to celebrate the Day. One such replica is located in the garden of United Nations Headquarters and is the site of the annual commemoration organized by the United Nations Secretariat in New York.\nThrough resolution 47/196 adopted on 22 December 1992, the General Assembly declared 17 October as the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty and invited all States to devote the Day to presenting and promoting, as appropriate in the national context, concrete activities with regard to the eradication of poverty and destitution. The resolution further invites intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations to assist States, at their request, in organizing national activities for the observance of the Day, and requests the Secretary-General to take, within existing resources, the measures necessary to ensure the success of the Day\u2019s observance by the United Nations.\nOctober 17th presents an opportunity to acknowledge the effort and struggle of people living in poverty, a chance for them to make their concerns heard, and a moment to recognize that poor people are the first ones to fight against poverty. Participation of the poor themselves has been at the center of the Day\u2019s celebration since its very beginning. The commemoration of October 17 th also reflects the willingness of people living in poverty to use their expertise to contribute to the eradication of poverty.\nGA Resolution A/RES/47/196 of 31 March 1993\nTeleFood campaign\nProfessional Football Against Hunger\n\u201cIt is imperative that we support FAO\u2019s campaign, urging young people, who more than adults enjoy the ability to spring into action\u2026\u201d Rita Levi Montalcini.\n\u201cAchieving Food Security in Times of Crisis\u201d is the World Food Day 2009 theme.\nDonations to TeleFood fund small, self-contained agriculture, livestock and fisheries projects that help poor families produce more food.\nDonations to TeleFood projects\nDonations to TeleFood projects are designed to give poor families and communities the tools necessary to increase the quantity and variety of food they produce. Not a penny is spent on administrative costs. Although small in scale and cost, TeleFood projects make a significant impact.\nOver 200 football clubs playing in more than 100 stadiums and millions of football fans will be involved in the first ever Europe-wide football weekend against hunger being held from 20 to 22 March 2009. The campaign aims at raising awareness about the urgent need to fight hunger and poverty. The funds raised during the football weekend will help to finance TeleFood small scale fighting hunger projects around the world.\nThe International Alliance Against Hunger\nThe International Alliance Against Hunger was created in Rome in 2003 on the recommendation of the World Food Summit, to strengthen both global and national resolve to address the scourges of hunger and malnutrition on a scale that matches the enormity of the problems. At global level, the International Alliance brings together major international institutions responsible for agriculture, food and nutrition with a growing number of international NGOs committed to ensuring that all people have enough to eat healthy diets.[\u2026]\nThe Right to Food information and knowledge system is a knowledge platform to support the progressive realization of the Right to Adequate Food in the context of national food security.

It was declared World Post Day by the UPU Congress held in Tokyo, Japan in 1969. Since then, countries across the world participate annually in the celebrations. The Posts in many countries use the event to introduce or promote new postal products and services.\nIn most countries philatelic exhibitions are organized during this period and special stamps and date cancellation marks are issued on 9 October. Other activities include the display of World Post Day posters in post offices and other public places; open days at post offices, mail centres and postal museums; the holding of conferences, seminars and workshops; as well as cultural, sport and other recreation activities.\nA World Post Day message from the Director General of the Universal Postal Union is sent each year to all Posts, read during celebrations and published in the media.\nThe UPU in cooperation with UNESCO has, for the past 35 years, organized an International Letter-writing Competition for young people.

        "raw_content": "THE CLAIM: Abrams' sister handled election case\nTHE FACTS: U.S. District Judge Leslie Abrams, sister of Georgia Democratic gubernatorial hopeful Stacey Abrams, did not preside over a complaint related to the too-close-to-call governor's race, as reports circulating online suggest. The Georgia Democratic Party's lawsuit against Dougherty County was filed in the Middle District of Georgia's federal court, where Leslie Abrams was confirmed to the bench in 2014. Most federal courts assign cases to judges randomly, including the Middle District of Georgia. Judge Abrams was randomly assigned to the case Nov.8, but it was reassigned to U.S. District Judge W. Louis Sands on the same day, and before any action was taken on the case, court records show. The shift was in keeping with the court's procedure when there is a conflict of interest, according to David W. Bunt, the clerk of court for the Middle District of Georgia.\nTHE CLAIM: Aerial photo shows clouds over California wildfire\nTHE FACTS: A photo of a blanket of gray clouds over a glowing red background was not taken over the recent California wildfires, despite reports identifying it that way on social media. The photo was actually taken in July by Nathan Province over Honolulu, and shows altocumulus clouds during a sunset. Province told The Associated Press that the photo was taken about 7 p.m. from an altitude of around 30,000 feet while he was on a flight to Hawaii. Province said he took the photo with his cellphone about 30 minutes before landing and later posted it to social media. \"I think it's nice that people like the scenery and the beauty of Hawaii, but it is sad that people are using it continually for fake news,\" Province said in a text message.\nTHE CLAIM: Planned Parenthood releases ad saying a baby 'deserves to be a choice'\nTHE FACTS: Planned Parenthood did not release a video advertisement featuring a baby with text saying she deserves to be a choice, despite numerous reports being shared online. Social media users are creating false captions and recirculating the video, released by The Agenda Project Action Fund in 2015, to make it appear as the work of Planned Parenthood. Erica Sackin, Planned Parenthood Federation of America spokeswoman, said the organization did not produce the video, nor is it associated with it in any way. In the ad, a baby in a stocking cap coos and smiles between sentences stating: \"She deserves to be loved. She deserves to be wanted. She deserves to be a choice. #StandWithPP.\" The video was created by a branch of The Advanced Project, a progressive activist organization, and uploaded to its YouTube channel. Erica Payne, founder of the organization, told the AP that she put out the video after she had a baby at the age of 45. Payne said it was her way of expressing how children are miracles. \"They deserve to be loved, wanted and a choice,\" she said.\nTHE CLAIM: Time magazine cover states toxic vaccines are 'Poisoning of An Entire Generation'\nTHE FACTS: A Time magazine cover circulating online that claims an entire generation has been poisoned by toxic vaccines was fabricated. The false cover has a headline stating \"The Poisoning Of An Entire Generation,\" along with text that says, \"Toxic vaccines. Sick kids. And the incompetent leaders who betrayed them.\" The false cover was taken from Time's Feb. 1, 2016, issue which featured a story on the water crisis in Flint, Michigan, with the headline, \"The Poisoning Of An American City.\" Both covers use the same photo of a young child, but the original does not include a syringe with needle in the photo. The subtitles on the real cover say, \"Toxic water. Sick Kids. And the incompetent leaders who betrayed Flint.\" A Time spokesperson confirmed to the AP that the cover was not the work of the magazine, and provided a link on how to identify false Time covers.",

        "raw_content": "McDuffie Introduces Bill to Create Local Tax Credit for Affordable Housing\nWashington, DC \u2013 Today, DC Councilmember Kenyan R. McDuffie (D-Ward 5), along with Chairman Phil Mendelson (D-Chair), and Councilmembers Jack Evans (D-Ward 2) and David Catania (I-At-Large) introduced legislation creating a tax credit to subsidize the production of affordable rental housing. Under the program established in the bill, District of Columbia Low Income Housing Tax Credits (DC-LIHTC) could be awarded to developers as an indirect subsidy toward the production of affordable housing.\nThe DC-LIHTC program is modeled after and designed to supplement the federal low-income housing tax credit. The tax credits would be awarded to developers who could then sell the credits to investors to raise equity for low-income housing development projects. This method of affordable housing finance subsidizes buildings at a significant level, allowing units to be leased at deeply affordable rents. \u201cThe intent behind the bill is to give the private market an incentive to invest in affordable rental housing,\u201d stated McDuffie.\nIn 2012 the District\u2019s Comprehensive Housing Strategy Task Force recommended in its final report that the District study the feasibility of creating a local tax credit to supplement the federal LIHTC program. McDuffie\u2019s legislation advances this recommendation and, if passed, would place the District on par with fourteen other states that have created local tax credits to supplement the federal subsidy.\nSince the year 2000, half of the low-cost rental housing units in the city have been lost and increases in rents have greatly out-paced earnings, particularly for those at the lower end of the economic ladder. McDuffie noted, \u201cInvesting in affordable housing is an essential component of maintaining economic diversity in this city. While we have made admirable strides in recent years to allocate District funds toward the production and preservation of affordable housing, more can and should be done.\u201d\nThe bill was referred to the Council\u2019s Committee on Finance and Revenue and was co-sponsored by Councilmembers Alexander, Bonds, Bowser, Cheh, Graham, Grosso, Orange, and Wells",

        "raw_content": "One of the most difficult tasks I have found as a writer is finding the perfect name for a given character. While this might seem simplistic on the surface, I have often found myself putting as much research into names as almost any other aspect of writing.\nFirst off, when I name a character, the name is instantly placed upon a list which I keep beside the draft of my novels. I cannot count the number of times when, as I journeyed on my path towards becoming a writer, I would come to the sudden realization that I had used the same name for multiple characters within my novel. Because of this, I now keep lists to ensure that I do not double up on the characters. Additionally I often keep character descriptions, such as hair, eye and skin color along with any distinguishing characteristics alongside the list of names.\nIn my experience, naming characters arises in one of two ways. The first is a character who arrives fully formed upon the page. For me, this type of character is generally a protagonist. In my YA series, Rise of the Temple Gods, the first character to appear was Mariana. She appeared upon the page in a short story written many years ago, when the concept for the series was first developed. She arrived with her name, physical appearance, and a general idea of who she was. Interesting enough that she would later become the title character for my four book young adult series. The heroes she worshiped, the brother\u2019s Kale and Koloso, also appeared upon the page fully formed with their names, stories, and backgrounds.\nIt is often difficult to explain how these types of characters come into existence. For me, it has always been like meeting a new friend. They introduce themselves, complete with the name of their own choosing, as though they had existed long before the first word of the novel was written. For me, these characters are a wonderful rarity and often become the most important or central figures within a novel, due to the rich background with which they arise from the depth of imagination.\nThe second type of character is one whose name is chosen more meticulously. They are often created in order to support or conflict with the protagonist in a particular way. Names have meanings behind them and I love the process of searching for names that match the role of a particular character\u2019s personality. Take, for example, some of the names found within my first YA novel, Heir to Kale. At the beginning of the novel, the kingdom is protected by three central figures. The first is Prince Eadmund, a variation of Edmund, which means \u2018protector.\u2019 The second is Edward, leader of a team charged specifically with the protection of the realm. Edward means Guardian. The last is Leonardo, which has multiple meanings including Lion and protector. This name also requires a matter of trust between author and reader. As alternatively, one of the villains also features a name which means protector. I will leave it to the readers to figure that one out.\nIn my upcoming novel, Black Rose, I conducted more research on the names than on any previous novel. Mara and Edward jumped onto the page with their names already set. Others, such as the Sub-Captains of the Rose were all given Irish names in tribute to the fact that the story is based loosely on irish Mythology.\nThere are enchanted horses also featured within the story. The two horses with coats of silver are named Argento and Sterling. The fastest of the horses, Sherwyn ridden by the protagonist, means \u2018swift.\u2019\nAlso, the names of the realms found within the Kingdom were also specifically chosen. All have Latin roots and the names of each kingdom are identifiable with particular aspects of either events which take place within the kingdom, or with physical features of the land.\nOverall, I find the naming of locations and characters alike a fascinating and often challenging process. It is another aspect that I feel is worthy of research and given consideration. It is one of the most difficult and enjoyable parts of my writing process.\nHere\u2019s an article by author Laurell K.

Originally I was going to do a tribute to Beauty and the Beast, inspired by my writing with the word \u201cWitch\u201d. However, upon reflection, I realized I could make a better poster inspired by my time in Paris, inspired by the word \u201ctravel\u201d. I\u2019ve been to France twice, and each time it has been one of the most amazing experiences I\u2019ve ever had. As I wrote in the exercises, I realized I still have a lot to say about my time there.\nFor my poster, I\u2019m going to make a map of Paris the background. On each of my significant locations, I\u2019m going to put a memory trinket above it. I\u2019m also going to scan pages of my diary from my first trip and highlight some significant moments. I\u2019m going to mix the memories of the first trip with the memories of the second. I\u2019m going to lay out my memories across the city from left to right following the routs I would take visiting different land marks and my day-to-day life.\nI\u2019m going to layer different images on top of each other. My tickets and flyers have different textures due to the type of paper printed on as well as some fading/wrinkling with age. I\u2019m also going to include coins and a charging cord which will give the poster depth and dynamic interests. I\u2019m going to add a picture of a key chain of the Eiffel Tower to give a three dimensional look to certain parts.",

        "title": "Derek Haas\u2019 antihero Columbus is likable in spite of himself - Las Vegas Weekly",
        "raw_content": "Derek Haas\u2019 antihero Columbus is likable in spite of himself\nAt least novelist Derek Haas is honest.\n\u201cI told you not to like me,\u201d says Columbus, the protagonist of Haas\u2019 series of Silver Bear thrillers, moments after yet another of the contract killings by which he\u2019s made his name internationally. And that\u2019s just in the first chapter of the series\u2019 latest book, Columbus. For better or worse, there\u2019s no mistaking the type of guy you\u2019ll be spending the next 260 pages with.\nColumbus is just the latest factor in Haas\u2019 master plan: to craft characters with a wretchedness so refined, so incorrigible and so sincere that it\u2019s kind of impossible not to fall for them. With his screenwriting partner Michael Brandt, Haas has explored the vagaries of Old West outlaws (3:10 to Yuma) and the scientific rigors of bullet-bending (Wanted), establishing compelling dramas around bad guys (and gals) who otherwise define the term \u201cantisocial.\u201d And now, with Columbus and last year\u2019s predecessor, The Silver Bear, Haas the novelist takes his title character\u2014and the reader\u2014one step further by yanking down the barrier between antihero and audience.\nDerek Haas book signing\n567 N. Stephanie St., 434-1533\n\u201cWhat I love about this character and why it stays with me is because he\u2019s a dark man\u2014an assassin,\u201d Haas told me recently from his home in Los Angeles. \u201cBut just when you want to disapprove of him, he does something likable and winning. It\u2019s a challenge as writer to say, \u2018I\u2019m going to write this in a first-person voice as a killer, but by the time this book is through, you\u2019re going to like this guy.\u2019 To me, that\u2019s what\u2019s exciting.\u201d\nThe technique is a nifty modern riff on pulp-fiction landmarks from The Killer Inside Me to Elmore Leonard\u2019s original short story \u201c3:10 to Yuma.\u201d In the shadowy orbit of fences (the middlemen who pass along his assignments), marks (his targets) and various other sketchy types encircling Columbus, you\u2019re not really liking him so much as appreciating his cool calculation under deadly pressure. It doesn\u2019t hurt that he\u2019s actually the one hunted throughout much of Columbus, leaving him as the only person shielding readers from even more ruthless murderers in Paris, Brussels, Rome and beyond.\nThat makes the narrative stakes higher than those in The Silver Bear, an origin story introducing Columbus as a man doing virtually all of the stalking himself. But whatever sympathy that costs him is compensated for by the questionable character of those he\u2019s been dispatched to kill: Boston crime lords, fellow assassins and ultimately a cutthroat presidential candidate with an intriguing connection to Columbus himself. Their time spent in Columbus\u2019 aim entitles him (and us) to a persuasive moral relativism.\nEven more essentially, Haas plays with the ideas of work and identity. Cold-blooded as Columbus is, perhaps nothing is more sympathetic than his workaholic drive as assayed in both novels. After all, \u201csilver bear\u201d is nothing more than parlance for a first-class international assassin. He could just as easily be a renowned, in-demand architect or chef.\n\u201cWhen you\u2019re writing about somebody like a hit man and a contract killer, and then you say to your readers, \u2018I\u2019m going to make you relate to this,\u2019 you have to find those universal truths,\u201d Haas said. \u201cAnd that\u2019s what he is doing. He\u2019s trying to strive for A.) the one thing he\u2019s found in his life that he\u2019s good at, and everybody goes through life trying to discover that thing. And then B.) to be the best at what you do. Even if that is killing, you can relate to it.\u201d\nAs such, it may seem appropriate that the bloodiest casualties in Columbus\u2019 life are romantic. This is what Haas means when he talks about the cusp of disapproval, whether it\u2019s the purposefully bruising end of Columbus\u2019 relationship with his young sweetheart in The Silver Bear or the knowing, guilty endangerment of his Italian crush in Columbus. In the latter novel in particular, Columbus\u2019 work strikes a nerve so deep that even another eight-figure fee won\u2019t likely be enough to numb it. By the time Columbus meets Risina, the sexy Roman bookseller who earns the rare privilege of his confidence, a life after contract killing doesn\u2019t seem as far off as it did when we met him. And of course, if there\u2019s anything that can humanize a hit man in a reader\u2019s eyes, it\u2019s to see him waylaid by love.\nYet one senses that Columbus isn\u2019t ready to give up his Glock quite yet. Haas won\u2019t try to convince you otherwise, either. \u201cFrom a writing standpoint it\u2019s a fun dilemma to give your main character,\u201d the author said. \u201cEspecially when it\u2019s kind of a selfish thing to say, \u2018If I bring someone into this, they may be hunted and not even know it.\u2019\u201d\nBut considering how Columbus\u2019 failure to love (and, moreover, to be loved) fueled so much of his ruthless ambition in the first place, it raises a crucial question for Haas going forward: Can a happy hit man be a productive hit man? Can Columbus actually be too likable?\nHaas isn\u2019t saying either way, looking forward instead to his antihero\u2019s third adventure in 2011. \u201cI don\u2019t want to make him just a shark swimming through the water\u2014a killing machine,\u201d he said. \u201cHe\u2019s a human being trying to make sense of this game and this world.\u201d",

        "title": "In a Paperless Office, A Bigger Monitor is Better",
        "raw_content": "In a Paperless Office, A Bigger Monitor is Better\nBy Todd Hendrickson on May 17th, 2013 11 comments\nIn a paperless practice, screen size is critical. Don\u2019t skimp on the screen real estate. You have two choices: jumbo monitors or multi-monitor setups. I\u2019ve opted for the jumbo monitor. Here\u2019s why:\nMulti-monitors are great for segregating programs to different screens. They look very cool. But if you are reading this, you are an attorney, not a day-trader. You will spend the majority of your time at your computer doing two things: reading and writing. Most of what you do falls in one of those two categories. And for those purposes, jumbo monitors excel.\nBut Aren\u2019t Jumbo Monitors Expensive?\nBy jumbo monitor, I mean 27\u2033 or larger. There was a time where these monitors were prohibitively expensive. Not so now. Numerous jumbo monitors can be had in the sub $300 range. Are they going to be the equivalent in pixel glory of the Apple 27\u2033 Thunderbolt Display? Probably not. But they will do the job.\nAren\u2019t Multiple Monitors Better?\nLike I said, you are going to be spending most of your time reading and writing? You are a lawyer, it\u2019s what you do. Whether you are reviewing contracts or medical records, researching, drafting pleadings or legal documents, you are mostly reading and writing. That is significant because most material you will read or write will be formatted (at least originally) to the standard 8.5\u2033 x 11\u2033. Sure, you can scale down, but that is harder on the eyes. A typical dual monitor set up will consist of 2 20\u2033 or 22\u2033 monitors. That\u2019s a lot of screen real estate. But despite that fact, you still can\u2019t display a full size document without having to scroll.\nAs a trial lawyer, I spend a vast amount of time reviewing medical records. A large monitor allows me to have a full page medical record up on the screen side by side with a pleading or memo in Word. The same goes for depositions or any other written material. In fact, I can usually increase the size to 125% of the original or more without having to scroll to see the entire page. This is an efficient way to view, edit and work with any kind of document. With smaller monitors you either have to reduce the size or you are constantly scrolling. That is not efficient.\nAlthough the typical multiple monitor set up gives you a lots of screen real estate, the landscape orientation does not allow for full sized viewing of documents. Some types of documents, like spread sheets, lend themselves to this set up. If you find yourself constantly working with spreadsheets, you may prefer the multi-monitor setup.\nMultiple Desktops Offer Many of the Benefits of Multiple Monitors\nApple OSX offers multiple desktop functionality on a single monitor with Mission Control. It allows you to assign applications to specific desktops, as if you had multiple monitors. You simply swipe to access the other desktops. You can set up 3, 4 or even more desktops. By assigning a keyboard shortcut you can view all the desktops at once and move windows and documents between desktops. There are certainly options for doing this within Windows.\nMy bottom line is this: In a paperless office you need to be able to do your primary work as efficiently and comfortably as possible. I believe a jumbo monitor set up is the best way to achieve that. You maximize your functionality in performing your primary tasks\u2013creating and reviewing documents.\nOf course, if a single jumbo monitor is great, you could always try two \u2026\n(image: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lukeredpath/3428884858/\nD. Todd Smith says:\nI agree 100%. I recently installed two Apple Thunderbolts on my desk and have no regrets.\nWait, so you disagree with Todd\u2019s conclusion that it\u2019s better to have just one big monitor?\nAs I read the post, he\u2019s open to two.\nI guess. Although I think it\u2019s pretty unlikely that a second jumbo monitor increases productivity, instead of distractions.\nI guess it could be, but I\u2019ve found dual 27\u2033 monitors effective for my quasi-paperless appellate practice. I use one as a primary monitor and have the other set off slightly to the side. I put two pages of a PDF appellate record up on one screen, and my word processor and Westlaw up on another. I might shift things around depending on what I\u2019m working on, but overall, this arrangement works well for me.\nTodd Hendrickson says:\nIf you\u2019ve got the desk real estate, I can see that dual jumbo monitors would be the best of both worlds. I just think most people don\u2019t have that option. That is a huge setup. My point is that if you are choosing between a typical dual monitor set up (20\u2033-22\u2033 monitors) and a jumbo, go jumbo.\nI am running a Dell 29 inch monitor at my office and I love it. I am going to be replacing my 24 inch home office monitor with the same one in the near future. I was using two monitors before and prefer using one now. Drafting is way easier with the single jumbo monitor which I can put multiple docs up on the screen at once.\nSingle 15\u2033 Dell anyone?? Like the man says, its really only reading and writing\u2026\nSteven McIntire Allen says:\nI have two 27\u2033 monitors: one vertical and one horizontal. The only reason I did not buy an Apple monitor was because the screen cannot be turned lengthwise, which is closer to the shape of A4 paper. Once you try this setup, you will be spoiled for anything else. You have been warned.\nMichael Leizerman says:\nIt would drive me crazy to have one monitor. Todd does have a good point about a large monitor. I have a 30\u2033 monitor for reading. Next to it, I have three portrait-oriented 20\u2033 monitors (I also have a 55\u2033 Aquos monitor across the room for working with experts, but not exactly relevant to talking about workflow here, although I can say I prefer the 30\u2033 to the 55\u2033 when I\u2019m the only one in the room due to the better resolution.) Portrait makes more sense to me because it matches the shape of a web page or 8.5 x 11\u2033 document. A typical use of this setup is having a PDF produced in discovery open on one monitor, a brief I\u2019m working on in another, a brief I\u2019m copying from on another and Westlaw on another.\nYes, this is the general progression of things. However, the trend will be gradual for most people: first one, then two, etc. The norm will continue to increase. Eventually, I wonder if or at how many the number of monitors on a desk will max out.",

        "raw_content": "Lipstick On The Pig\tin Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Date rape, Depression, Divorced parents, Domestic Violence, Emotional Healing, Narcissism, Parental Alcoholism, Project Semicolon, PTSD\t November 6, 2016 November 14, 2016 1,001 Words\nI believe all masterpieces were created through several rough drafts. A masterpiece comes in many different forms and mediums. Such as oil vs. watercolor, Broadway play vs. film, novel vs. television and food vs. food.\nI believe both of my son\u2019s are masterpieces, each unique and beautiful in their own way.\nThere are flaws in a masterpiece, but only the artist knows of them all. What we see as a possible flaw could have been meant to happen by the artist; therefore I feel critic\u2019s are a waste of space and time. A masterpiece is in the eye of the beholder.\nI also believe that God created us each unique and each a masterpiece per His great design.\nI also believe that a masterpiece evolves and can continuously be altered, added to or adjusted. For example, Oscar-Claude Monet didn\u2019t conduct just one painting titled Water Lilies. Monet painted over 30 variations, presumably to create each very distinctly, yet with just enough difference you can tell them apart. At least to the trained eye you can identify them.\nWhat I love about his work are the combinations of color, chaos, free-flowing brush strokes and depth. This is how I feel God created me. I have various colors I portray, I\u2019m not typically just a sterile white, I have several colorful moods I vacillate through. I am not a super intense person about most things, I\u2019m free-flowing and laid back. There\u2019s a depth to me most will never see on the surface. My mind is in such chaos at times I feel like a tornado sucking up everything in its path.\nTo know this piece of work, you need to take the time to get to know me. By this time in my life per the blog, I am about 22 years old. I have many appreciations and gifts for who I am and what I have.\nPhysically I no longer looked like I was 14. I actually started looking more like a woman with curves. Still slender, brown hair, big green eyes, classy dress for work and play.\nFor employment I was in a career by my own doing, starting off as a receptionist and working my way up in a financial analyst industry. Which is funny to me now, especially since I failed geometry and had to take math for dummies to make up the credit. Watching my mother and father, who were both professionals, I watched them and absorbed their mannerisms. I was excellent at customer service and making clients feel important. I cared for them like I\u2019d know them for years. I was well-known for what I did and I loved it.\nMy domain was perfect and living on my own was liberating, in a little \u201cmatchbox\u201d sized house I rented. I\u2019d decorate it from garage sale finds. Heck at Christmas it was decked out, but I don\u2019t think I ever invited anyone over to see it or visit. It was mine and I was \u201cplaying\u201d house.\nFinancially I was able to buy my first new car on my own. Little red semi sports car. I was so proud of it. I wasn\u2019t a frivolous spender, I watched my money closely. Very responsible.\nRelationships were few and far between. I had a couple that were very serious and would have gone somewhere. Yet one had cheated on me, which ruined the trust factor and reminded me of my father. The other was emotionally destructive, couple bouts of violence and I was done. I wasn\u2019t sleeping around and just enjoyed life.\nMy family at this point was scattered. I tried to build a relationship with Joan, it was important to me, maybe hoping she would see how well I was doing on my own. Hoping she would be proud of me..looking for the nod of acceptance. Clint was still in California and we spoke every few weeks. Our closeness went away, his wife basically shamed him when talking to me. Sis moved to California to live with our Father and start over. I guess when I look back, Joan wanted me around more after Sis left.\nSpiritually I believed in God and Jesus Christ as my savior. I was baptized non-denominational at age 5. Yet we never went to church, not even on Christmas Eve or Easter. I longed to understand more about the bible. I tried reading it, I didn\u2019t understand it. I\u2019d go to church with my paternal grandmother, it was a Baptist church, I felt like a big piece of sin when I left. I never went back. I\u2019d have moments of feeling lost and unattached, I\u2019d drive up the mountain and go to the beautiful church I was baptized at and just sit. I felt so safe there. I\u2019d cry. Pray and talk to God and then go home, never to return until that feeling of emptiness came back.\nDeep down I was confident in what I knew and I portrayed that confidence in all that I did and how I looked. I was tender-hearted and clearly a caregiver at heart, I helped anyone I could with anything they needed. I was hungry for life and to learn more. I could analyze any situation rather quickly. I thought I wanted to be a career woman with a lot of options to go anywhere anytime. Yet I yearned to be married, to be with a man who would love me unconditionally and take care of me, have babies with. Make a life of longterm, one of which I never had as a child.\nThis is who I was as a young adult from the foundation laid out for me. Damn if I could go back to when I was 11 with the knowledge I had at this point, was a lot of the thoughts I had during this time.\nNaive little piggy.",

        "raw_content": "BLOG TOUR BOOK REVIEW: Wicked Game (Robert Finlay), by Matt Johnson #WickedGame\nPublication date: 24th December 2015 (EBook) & 31st March 2016 (Paperback)\nThe sheer dogged determination of Robert Finlay provides one hell of an exhilarating ride, as he dodges bullets, explosives, and the shadows of his past, in this Wicked Game of cat and mouse.\nExpect nothing less than a thrilling journey, where secrets and revenge are delivered with guts and precision and the stakes are as high as they get \u2013 Finlay gives new meaning to the SAS motto of \u201cWho dares, wins\u201c.\nHe\u2019s coordinated the siege on the Iranian Embassy back in 2001, he\u2019s single-handedly stopped IRA terrorists in their tracks on-masse, but at 48 years old he was convinced he\u2019d moved on from his old life in the SAS. Yet, no matter how his career and his life progress he keeps constant vigil over his family as he\u2019s afraid of losing them. When you\u2019ve experienced exactly what people are capable of, you\u2019re aware of dangers all around. Even more so now, as several tragic incidents have occurred involving his old buddies, setting alarms bells off (plus detonations and sporadic gunfire).\nIt feels like too much of a co-incidence, almost like their names are being checked of a list. It\u2019s thought to be impossible, as no one should know who or where they are \u2013 not even his colleagues at Stoke Newington Police Station where Finlay has joined as an Inspector. It seems implausible to even consider how anyone could be privy to such sensitive information, since he was assured his and others\u2019 personnel records and their associated high profile deeds were sealed and would never see the light of day. Their identities should remain forever anonymous to protect them, and those they love.\nAfter Finlay evades a couple of tragic near misses, where the initial feeling is that random police officers are being target, it\u2019s thought the IRA are responsible. Between clandestine off-the-record meetings with MI5 and evading questions thrown at him from his own superiors, he quickly realises he doesn\u2019t know who to trust anymore, as the evidence is pointing to someone far more dangerous than first thought. He can\u2019t even confide in his wife as she is oblivious to his past. All he can do is fear for her safety and that of his daughter \u2013 and he\u2019ll do anything to protect them.\nRobert Finlay, ex-SAS officer, protector of Royalty, Detective to Scotland Yard, more importantly a husband and father, places all his faith in his semi-rusty skills. He\u2019s been out of the game for a little while and he\u2019s not as young as he used to be. He misjudges situations, he\u2019s allowing his emotions to get the better of him, all the things you shouldn\u2019t be when dealing with an invisible threat. But he must put an end to the terror, even if it\u2019s the end of him. This is very, very personal, and those responsible had better watch out. Finlay won\u2019t rest until he stops them \u2013 whoever they are.\nThe threads are pulled in one by one to weave a highly dangerous web and catch a very specific target. I may not have got to grips with the various military acronyms but it truly is a cracking read from start to finish, and puts into perspective what some people have to sacrifice in order to keep others safe.\n(My thanks to Karen at Orenda Books for providing a digital copy of this book for review \u2013 plus a surprise paperback! \u2013 and thanks also to Liz Barnsley for saving a stop on the Orenda tour bus for me once again. Much appreciated, both.)\n2001. Age is catching up with Robert Finlay, a police officer on the Royalty Protection team based in London. He s looking forward to returning to uniform policing and a less stressful life with his new family. But fate has other plans. Finlay\u2019s deeply traumatic, carefully concealed past is about to return to haunt him. A policeman is killed by a bomb blast, and a second is gunned down in his own driveway. Both of the murdered men were former Army colleagues from Finlay\u2019s own SAS regiment, and in a series of explosive events, it becomes clear that he is not the ordinary man that his colleagues, friends and new family think he is. And so begins a game of cat and mouse a wicked game in which Finlay is the target, forced to test his long-buried skills in a fight against a determined and unidentified enemy.\nWicked Game is a taut, action packed, emotive thriller about a man who might be your neighbour, a man who is forced to confront his past in order to face a threat that may wipe out his future, a man who is willing to do anything to protect the people he loves. But is it too late?\nMatt Johnson served as a soldier and Metropolitan Police officer for twenty-five years. Blown off his feet at the London Baltic Exchange bombing in 1993, one of the first police officers on the scene of the 1982 Regent\u2019s Park bombing, Matt was also at the Libyan People\u2019s Bureau shooting in 1984 where he escorted his mortally wounded friend and colleague, Yvonne Fletcher, to hospital. Hidden wounds took their toll.\nIn 1999, Matt was discharged from the police with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Whilst undergoing treatment, he was encouraged by his counsellor to write about his career and his experience of murders, shootings and terrorism. One evening, Matt sat at his computer and started to weave these notes into a work of fiction that he described as having a tremendously cathartic effect on his own condition. He has used his detailed knowledge and memory to create a fast paced, exciting and authentic tale of modern day policing. Matt Johnson is living proof that PTSD is a condition that can be controlled and overcome with the right help and support. He has been described by many fans as an inspiration to fellow sufferers. Matt is currently working on a sequel \u2018Deadly Game\u2019 scheduled for publication Summer 2015.\nBe sure to visit the other stops on the WICKED GAME tour\u2026\nSTEPH BOOK BLOG\nThanks for stopping by, folks.\nCrime thriller, Matt Johnson Author, Orenda Books, Robert Finlay Book 1, Terrorism, Wicked Game\t2 Comments\n\u00ab BLOG TOUR BOOK REVIEW: #TheDolocher, by Caroline Barry\nBook Review: Heavenfield, by L J Ross (Book 3 of the DCI Ryan Series) \u00bb\n2 thoughts on \u201cBLOG TOUR BOOK REVIEW: Wicked Game (Robert Finlay), by Matt Johnson #WickedGame\u201d\nThis is winging its way over to me and I can\u2019t wait to read it!\nIt\u2019s brilliant, Rebecca.

        "raw_content": "Celebrities and the essence of St. Valentine\u2019s day\nBy Shaibu Husseini\nGrace Agu\nSeun Awonusi\nFebruary 14 is St. Valentine Day, and like their fans, some Nollywood celebrities would step out, most of them adorning the usual dress code of a shade of red, to commemorate the day. But there are a few who said they would be caught up on location, filming. We asked a few of them to reflect on the day. Charles Inojie (Actor, Scriptwriter, Director)\nFor me, Valentine is a time to rededicate oneself to the Divine injunction of \u2018love your neighbour as you love yourself.\u2019 I have come to realise that unless you learn to commit yourself to sharing whatever you have with others, you may never know how much your little effort could mean to others.\nValentine has, therefore, become, for me, a time to do a critical self-appraisal to find out how sensitive I have been to the plight of those whom grace has positioned me ahead of.\nAnd yes, I have consciously commemorated the day. In the past, I had gone to spend the day at the orphanage or home of the elderly. I shall commemorate this year\u2019s Valentine with my family, essentially because work has literarily taken me away from them for the past one year.\nIncidentally, I will be filming on that day, but I shall take my family out to have lunch outside of our home. As for words for my fans on Valentine Day, I would say they do should not make Valentine just about a designated day; they should try to spend everyday as if it were Valentine.\nThe plate of food you sometimes share with your gateman, the help you render to people, you never know how far they go to warm the hearts of the beneficiaries.\nI think we should generally learn to love. Ifu ENnada (Nollywood Actress, Producer)\nWell, thanks to some teachings from my younger years, Valentine, to me, is a day Saint Valentine should be remembered because of the sacrifice he made for love.\nThis isn\u2019t always the case, because numerous lovers have seized the day and only a few remember the man that made the day possible. But really, Valentine is a day like every other day; a day love should be celebrated.\nI can\u2019t say I have consciously commemorated the day, but I live everyday showing and giving love. I have never gone on a date on Valentine\u2019s Day because I personally don\u2019t see the big deal in it and I spent my past Valentine Day working.\nRight now, I can assure you that I would not be going out on a date. I will be working, but I will do my best to reach out to some people with extra love.\nAs for my advice, I would say people should spend less time on frivolities and instead use the opportunity to give more love to others, especially those who cannot pay back their kindness.\nOgechi Peters (Actress)\nValentine, for me, is a day set aside for me to spend time with my loved ones. I actually don\u2019t observe the day, like going out or marking the day, as such; I usually prefer to stay indoors with him and you know we will have dinner, watch movies and after enjoying a candlelight dinner for two at home, I would give him a massage.\nThe last Valentine day when I got home from set, my man had our room set up with a candlelit table for two. So, unlike me, who will have mine indoors, because I am naturally an indoor person, I will advice couples to give themselves a treat and tell themselves how glad they are to be married to each other.\nBut importantly, I would say love should not be given and received just on Valentine day; it should be shown every single day.\nGrace Ama (Actress)\nWhat Valentine means to me is to demonstrate love in all I do, love to the people, especially those who are not in any position to say thank you. There are so many people around us who need love and care.\nI don\u2019t think Valentine is a feast to be celebrated in a pop centre, bar and on lavish ceremonies of eating and drinking.\nIt is should be celebrated by putting smiles on the faces of less privileged people, people who cannot help themselves and people who are in great needs. That, for me, is the true meaning of Valentine.\nYes, indeed, I have consciously marked the day. I have tried to visit some orphanages to celebrate with them and to share the little I could, and I intend to spend quality time with children at the orphanage this year.\nBut above all, we must learn to share what we have with others.\nEberechukwu \u2018Bayray\u2019 Nwizu (Actress)\nVALENTINE is a great reminder of what true love is. It is a time to show love and kindness to people.\nSo, Valentine, for me, is a kind of gentle reminder of how beautiful it is to love and be loved.\nI have not consciously commemorated the day and I have good reasons. I think love should be a lifestyle, a state of mind.\nI indulge myself everyday with the things of love, whether it is cracking a joke or spending time with people I love or giving to someone that cannot give back or even being in love with someone and showing it expressly.\nFor this year, I will spend it with special people and family. However, Nigerians should remember that love still exists, love and kindness is still important and we as Nigerians should love ourselves and foster unity.\nSeun Awonusi (Actress)\nVALENTINE day is a day to show and share love.\nI have never gone out of my way to commemorate the day, because I see it as any other day. So, I engage in my usual daily activities and I know I will be filming on that day.\nBut for those who will be out having fun, I will advice that they have fun with their brain. They shouldn\u2019t get carried away with the Valentine day frivolities, such as ladies losing their dignity and teenagers overstepping their teenage abilities and bounds.\nWe shouldn\u2019t let it get into our head. We should spend time reflecting on the essence of the day.\nIjeoma Grace Agu (Actress)\nHONESTLY, it means nothing to me; I just see the day as any other day. So, I haven\u2019t consciously taken time to commemorate the day and for this year, I will be on set, filming. But those who want to have fun should please go ahead and have fun, as there is nothing wrong with celebrating love. It is a good thing.\nIjeoma Grace AguOgechi PetersSeun AwonusiValentine",

Kirstin Payne\nCommunity and development first for Tracie\nWHEN searching for an inspirational woman in the transport industry, you don't need to look far.\nDespite their limited numbers they today can be found in the driver's seat, in the offices and in the boardrooms and workshops.\nGuided by the men and women who came before them all eager to share their skills, knowledge and their passion for transport.\nTracie Dickenson of Daryl Dickenson transport is no different.\nThe 2017 Australian Trucking Association's Trucking Industry Woman of the Year, Tracie dedicates a large amount of her time to the betterment of the sector and the next generation.\nHer busy office floor at the Daryl Dickenson depot, which is scattered sparingly with children's toys, is testament to her commitment to a flexible workplace and training.\nBut Tracie didn't come from a transport family, instead she spent her formative years on a dairy farm.\n\"I hated it,\u201d she laughed.\n\"Hindsight is everything, but it did feel bad when you were out shifting the cows around.\u201d\nThe fleet is a mix of Freightliner, Kenworths and Western Stars. Contributed\nHer love for the transport industry instead took its time, not developing until she met her husband, and namesake of the business, Daryl Dickenson in 1990.\n\"We met and I travelled with Daryl for 14 months, just the two of us together. It blossomed and I went travelling with him. You know it is hard for interstate drivers to see their loved ones while on the road, so that was a really good foundation for me to understand the industry,\u201d she said.\n\"When drivers say we had to sit in line for four hours or there are no rest areas, I know - and as a woman, you know, I had to be flexible,\u201d she laughed.\nIt all changed when in 2001 a contract landed on their doorstep and served as the beginning for the steel, break bulk and container transport company it is today.\n\"We are a pretty typical transport company in that way. You start off as an owner-driver, then you progress and then you find yourself with 30 trucks and you go what happened?\u201d\nPART OF THE TEAM: Jack Dickson, Kyle Bliesher, operations manager Nathan Dickenson, Gary Butler, Alex Coleman and Paul Bambling. Kirstin Payne\nBy 2008, the company had 40 trucks with more than 60trailers.\nBut the whirlwind didn't come without some serious learnings.\n\"Of course the GFC came and we looked at our process and safety records, that is probably when the company matured,\u201d she said.\n\"You stopped and stepped out of the business and thought this is as big as we get, it's a point I think every company gets to and I think you need to decide where it is manageable.\n\"We made mistakes, I think everyone does and it was a hard discussion.\n\"Daryl saw opportunity, we built it together, but I have been described as the Jiminy Cricket in the management.\u201d\nToday, Tracie has turned her focus towards the development of their employees and the changes that can be made to the industry itself.\n\"I am trying to get that focus on the industry and how we as an industry can go out and make change,\u201d she said.\nA member of the QTA board, Tracie is part of the Women Taking the Wheel program, a movement to encourage women into the industry.\nThe company also visits schools to encourage the next generation.\n\"We are all complaining about staff and driver shortages, but a lot of us aren't giving people the training they need,\u201d Tracie said.\n\"We need to reinvest with programs like this, there is no way around it.\u201d\nTracie has 'home grown' a few of the drivers already, getting them out of warehouse work and into the driver's seat.\n\"Just yesterday we had two successful candidates,\u201d she said, smile beaming.\n\"One had been working for us for six years in the warehouse and he said he wanted a change, so we thought 'what can we do about it?'\n\"Now he was walking around with the biggest smile yesterday when he got his licence.\u201d\nDaryl Dickenson Transport Contributed\nIn all, the company has promoted close to a dozen drivers from car licences who have slowly worked through the process.\n\"It is a journey, we make sure they drive body trucks local first, then semis local and then we introduce them on B-double local and then changeovers,\u201d she said.\n\"We are finding when you do that, you get loyalty at the end of the day.\u201d\nMaintenance manager Erin Duff and container manager Anne Lovering. Kirstin Payne\nMaintenance manager Erin Duff was brought from working in the warehouse to her current position and hasn't looked back.\n\"The manager at the time had moved on and I was asked if I wanted to step up, I thought 'great I'll give it a shot',\u201d Erin said.\nWhile it hasn't always been easy, Erin said some standouts had helped her on her way.\n\"There are some gentlemen that are an exception, like Brian Taylor, Chris Lawler, Stephen Lumley, Robert Adams, Nathan Stelzer and Colin Crisp to name a few,\u201d she said.\n\"I give these guys some of the strangest, weirdest and most complicated matters to solve and they have all gone above and beyond what is expected.\n\"The effort these gentlemen put in makes the job more enjoyable and lessens the sexism that comes up every now and then. It is guys like these that make me want to stick around.\u201d\nJack Dickson and Paul Brambling enjoy their work Kirstin Payne\ncareers and training international womens day trucking australia women in transport",

Go figure.\nIn a culture built of lies and legal fictions, the truth is bound to come as a shock, isn\u2019t it?\nThose others you see posing as \u201cJudges\u201d are operating in a foreign system of governance that has nothing to do with Americans and everything to do with \u201cUS Persons\u201d\u2014- Brits and Roman Catholic Church officers, foreign corporations and franchises.\nThey aren\u2019t functioning as American Judges. They don\u2019t administer or enforce the Public Law or the Constitutions\u2014-and they will willingly tell you this themselves, if you bother to ask.\nThey are For-Hire Jurists, working on a contractual basis to enforce the Public Policies of the commercial corporations doing business as Territorial \u201cStates of States\u201d and as Municipal \u201cDistrict Corporations\u201d that employ them.\nWe, the Last American Judges, aren\u2019t members of the Bar Associations.

There will no longer be any Public and Organic Law.\nThe only courts in existence will be private corporate tribunals run by For-Hire Jurists addressing \u201cPersons\u201d \u2014 and collecting debts from those \u201cPersons\u201d for the benefit of the Parent Corporations\u2014 the Territorial and Municipal \u201cStates of States\u201d and the foreign governments that run them.\nYou will be subject to 80,000,000 statutory \u201claws\u201d.\nYou will be responsible for paying for the enforcement of those 80,000,000 statutory laws.\nYou will also be responsible for paying for all the services demanded and entitlements claimed by all the other \u201cPersons\u201d in this System \u2014 which guarantees that you will live as a debt slave and a \u201cPerson\u201d owned by corporations, and that all your assets will be claimed as chattel property donated to those corporations, too.\nTo all those who have been running around spreading the lie that I am a \u201cfake judge\u201d \u2014- you had better hope and pray to the Living God that I am precisely what I say I am, because if I am not, your last hope of peacefully reclaiming your country (and your own private property) is already gone.\nYou had better get behind me and the others like me who have stepped forward and blazed the way home to the land and soil jurisdiction of this country.

        "raw_content": "David Griffiths considers the transformative power of recognition in a TEDx talk about his thinking behind Being Untouchable, an exhibition highlighting the injustice suffered by many of India's 167 million Dalits.\nUnlike most people, I have facing my front door a photograph of a man with leprosy drinking in the street. I do like this picture, somewhat against the odds. There is nothing to celebrate about leprosy: it is a disease suffered vastly disproportionately by the poor and disenfranchised, and leads to great suffering through secondary causes as the sensation of pain is lost: blindness and disfigurement are common. Despite the fact leprosy is easily cured and indeed not easy to contract, the World Health Organisations says that there were over 200,000 new cases in 2014.\nBut the man in the picture is not defined by his disease, nor by the deprivation which gave it to him. He is a figure of life and intrigue in a colourful scene which looks so strangely perfect that it could all be staged (it isn\u2019t). It\u2019s a photograph which demands a story, a punchline.\nThat story, though, is simply the intrinsic dignity of a man treated as a pariah, an outcast in society. It is the story of his need for water, just like mine; of the dexterity of his manner of drinking; of his unexplained command of the attention of all around him as he stands centre-stage.\nThe photograph was taken by Marcus Perkins. I approached him for this work several years ago after scratching my head about how to find an accessible way to communicate the routines of marginalisation, discrimination and violence suffered by the once-called untouchable people of India, the Dalits.\nWhat I wanted to do was find a way to provoke a sense of solidarity across unbridgeable gulfs of society, culture, language, economy; to urge compassion; and to call for justice.\nAll the tools that were available seemed inadequate. There were statistics that were hard to get our heads around: that according to the census data we had available at the time, the number of Dalits matched the populations of the UK, France and Spain together. But quantitative data is never enough to make us care. There were nuances and subtleties that defied easy explanation, but needed not to be ignored: we could make no easy correlations between caste and wealth or power.\nAnd then there were the people behind these walls. What could be done to present their stories with authenticity and forge a sense of connectedness to them and their tribulations? So we turned to photography to open some vignettes into the dramatic and the banal ways of how untouchability is experienced.\nOf course, nothing would have been possible without people opening their lives to us, sharing their stories and their routines; and that would not have been possible without trusted activists and community leaders vouching for us - people who lead the local struggles for change.\nSo it was that, lubricated frequently by chai, we set out to create a set of photographs which conveyed the fundamental beauty and dignity in the often terribly sad stories of some of those marked as untouchable.\nJaya's brother was the breadwinner, sweeping the streets of the nearest city. The family would never be rich but they got by ok. For them this was a story of stunted opportunity, living as they did segregated from the rest of the village.\nUma\u2019s job by virtue of birth was to gather up the human excrement from a dry latrine in a village in southern Andhra Pradesh, which she carried in a basket on her head to a dumping ground. Many of the 800,000 who performed this appalling job found themselves unable to eat, often becoming sick and dying very young.\nIn a bizarre twist of irony, her own home had its own toilet. She was above the indignity foisted upon her.\nWhen the body of work was finished, we called it Being Untouchable. There was the young girl, thrown onto a heap of burning ashes in reprisal for treading on a path reserved for those more socially elevated; the men whose family home had been burned down in caste violence; the community known as rat-eaters for the extremity of their poverty whose daughters would, against all the odds, learn. There were the temple prostitutes, the destitute, the child labourers, the rubbish pickers, the survivors of violence.\nThe resulting exhibition went first to a gallery in Old Street, then to St Paul\u2019s Cathedral, and was featured by the BBC, Guardian, and a bunch of other media. We printed them with a tough laminate which people could run their hands over, repudiating untouchability with touch.\nI do not make any great claims for the impact of this work as a piece of advocacy. But we believed that simply to unmask the deep dignity of those suffering daily humiliation and invite the viewer to meet them on an equal footing was a small transformative act, appealing to the basic human instinct for solidarity which can overpower all that separates us.\nThere are many easy ways to reinforce separation. We are so often prone to language which closes doors. We who do human rights work need to take care to avoid language which distances and objectifies: victims, rights-holders. Nobody, of course, is defined solely by victimhood.\nBut more than that, if we are not careful, the language we use in conversations, in the media, politics, creeps towards a dehumanising quality, reinforcing otherness and creating categories which become intractable. Perhaps none is more chilling than the words we use for the stranger among us: an illegal, or an alien.\nIdentity is profoundly important. We need categories to define ourselves and our place in the confusing tangle of the world and its history. We need to belong to groups, to classify ourselves and those around us.\nBut, when we solidify these groups too much, our consequent failure to recognise each other\u2019s humanity is one of the root causes of our injustice towards each other. I think we are all guilty of this. Our need for self-justification leads us to tell exclusionary narratives: I am different from you, therefore superior; we are better than them. Every -ism, racism, sexism, casteism, begins with a claim to superiority and a failure to recognise in the other the commonality of our humanity.\nSo, as we fight against injustice, how can we pull back the curtain of this delusion? What can we do to move from exclusion to solidarity? How can we recognise the humanity in each other as the starting point in our interaction together, beginning a trajectory of reconciliation rather than rejection?\nIf my small experiments with a photographer have taught me anything, it is that there is something deeply transformative about recognition: Beginning with a recognition of dignity, of equality, of humanity in the other, we can demand much more of ourselves in confronting the ugliness of the world.\nBecause what really matters more than to reimagine horror as beauty, to love the one thought unlovable, to touch the one considered untouchable? How are you going to do it?\nDavid Griffiths is Head of the Secretary General's Office at Amnesty International.\nView Being Untouchable, a series of intimate portraits illustrating the injustice, poverty and inequality suffered by many of India's 167 million Dalits.",

        "raw_content": "to Transform America\u2019s Labor Market to a 21st Century, Skills-Driven Model\nNew York, NY \u2013 Stepping up to the challenge of including all Americans in the opportunities of the digital economy, the Markle Foundation announced today the formation of the Rework America Task Force (Rework America), a coalition of influential leaders with diverse backgrounds and experience who have joined together in service of modernizing the nation\u2019s outdated labor market and unlocking economic opportunity for American job seekers, workers, and businesses.\n\u201cToo many Americans are being left behind by the changes brought about by globalization and technology,\u201d said Zo\u00eb Baird, CEO and President of the Markle Foundation. \u201cWorkers deserve good jobs, solid career paths, and income growth. At the same time, American businesses deserve a skilled workforce, ready for the new, digital economy. The system wasn\u2019t going to change on its own, so we\u2019ve brought together some of the boldest leaders of all perspectives to tackle this challenge head-on.\n\u201cRedesigning the labor market is an ambitious challenge, but we have revolutionary tools at our disposal \u2013 digital technologies that have emerged as powerful, transformative forces in our economy,\u201d Zo\u00eb Baird added. \u201c\u2019Big Data\u2019 and \u2018artificial intelligence\u2019 aren\u2019t buzzwords. They have already had a profound effect on how we do business, and we believe that they can have an equally large impact on how we train workers, and how we connect Americans with opportunity.\u201d\n\u201cThe digital transformation we are living through today is historic, and our response needs to be equally as historic,\u201d said Judy Marks, CEO, Siemens USA, and a Rework America member. \u201cA labor market that was designed in the 20th century to prioritize four-year degrees and work histories is no longer sufficient to keep up with the fast-changing skills necessary to perform the digital jobs of the 21st century. We need to use technology to better align the skills of our workforce to the needs of employers, helping all stakeholders rethink, retool, and revitalize the ways we connect job seekers to open positions. This work is vital for our future, and that\u2019s why I am eager to join the Rework America Task Force.\u201d\nRework America builds on the success of the Markle Foundation\u2019s Skillful initiative, which is transforming businesses as well as the lives of job seekers and workers in Colorado. Established in 2016 as a partnership between Governor John Hickenlooper and the state of Colorado, LinkedIn, and others, Skillful provides data, tools, and resources that enable businesses to define the exact skills they seek, and turn those insights into a skills-based hiring process that allows workers to demonstrate and articulate the skills that they can bring to an organization. Recently, Microsoft invested more than $25 million in Markle to expand Skillful\u2019s model in Colorado, expand to another state, and support Rework America.\nRework America\u2019s cross-sector, non-partisan approach will focus on systems integration \u2013 pulling together, and leveraging currently-existing resources in a more effective manner in order to create new tools and business models to better serve the entire labor ecosystem. The task force will consist of small groups, drawing on each member\u2019s expertise. The task force will deliver its recommendations to key stakeholders and create a path from idea to feedback, to policy and action.\n\u201cThe current labor market fails job seekers, workers, and businesses,\u201d said Denis McDonough, Chair of the Rework America Task Force. \u201cMany workers have the skills employers are looking for to fill open positions, but don\u2019t know it because too many job listings are written in a way that excludes qualified job seekers rather than attracting them. They use credentials like a four-year degree as a proxy instead of listing the actual skills needed to work a job \u2013 which is a problem, since nearly seven in 10 Americans don\u2019t have a four-year degree but many have the relevant skills. And our research has found that a middle skilled worker in Colorado could apply for substantially more jobs \u2013 and with a $7,000 higher average salary \u2013 if jobs with credential gaps reflected today's workforce as opposed to requirements for a college degree.\n\u201cThe Rework America Task Force is ideally suited to help rethink and redesign the American labor market to benefit us all,\u201d Denis McDonough added. \u201cThis is a group of proven leaders who have come together to serve as an incubator for fresh ideas, inform state and national-level policy discussions, and develop real-world solutions to build a smarter, modern labor market \u2013 over both the short-term and long-term.\u201d\nThe Rework America Task Force is supported, to date, by Carnegie Corporation; the Markle Foundation, Microsoft Philanthropies, the Pritzker Traubert Foundation, and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund.\nThe Markle Foundation works to realize the potential of information technology as a breakthrough tool for some of the nation\u2019s most challenging problems. Working as an operating foundation, Markle has participated in partnerships to create policy and technology architecture that has enabled improvements in healthcare, national security, and access to the Internet. Markle\u2019s priority today is to provide Americans with access to good jobs and enable people to prepare for today\u2019s rapidly changing digital economy, as articulated in its book America\u2019s Moment.

The photo above incorporates the bride\u2019s color scheme in a fun festive manner\u2026but the lanterns are relatively inexpensive. Paper lanterns not up your alley? Consider using the natural landscape beauty of your reception site. The beach photo below needs no decoration. It\u2019s loveliness stands on it\u2019s own.\nMaggie and KK are fortunate with their wedding venues. Both have attractive features on their own which necessitate little or no additional decoration. Maggie\u2019s venue, The Wadsworth Mansion, (pictured below), had beautiful furniture, draperies, paintings and hearth decorations. We added floral centerpieces. KK\u2019s, The Pavilion At Crystal Lake, has a different type of beauty. It sports a rustic theme with a tiny lake and beach, gazebo, and a barn-type structure. It was just KK and Tyler\u2019s style\u2026lucky!\nWould you like to add a little \u201d pizazz\u201d to your decorations? DIY projects are an economical way to go. You can assemble them ahead of time to help you decorate your wedding on your budget. I love the photo below. This could be a center piece or an accent item placed at strategic locations (think guest book stand or wedding favor table).\nI think I saved the best for last\u2026I just LOVE the centerpiece below. It is so whimsical, delicate, and well\u2026just plain pretty. The bowls could be purchased at a bulk rate price, and the roses could be obtained from a local florist at a reduced rate. You could request blooms your florist would have deemed not pristine enough for a floral arrangement \u2013 but perfect to float the heads of roses in a bowl!\nMy best advice \u2013 check out wedding blogs for ideas, (like mine!! :-), and pinterest \u2014-then plan ahead and give yourself plenty of time to enjoy the process of making some DIY items.

It is usually considered proper for the groom\u2019s cake to be served separately from the bride\u2019s. Traditionally, groom\u2019s cakes are chocolate and are often garnished with fruit. Many are decorated to reflect the groom\u2019s hobbies, such as golfing, fishing, or hunting.\nBy the middle of the 20th Century, a competing custom incorporating both cakes on the same table had arisen. The bride\u2019s cake would form the base, and the groom\u2019s cake would be mounted on top. The bride and groom would cut the cakes and then give pieces to each other to eat.[3] The cakes would then be served to the guests.\nOne tradition was to cut a piece of the cake and put it in a small box, then present the box to an unmarried woman attending the wedding.[5] The woman was not expected to eat the cake, but rather to put it under her pillow. Superstition held that this tradition would help an unmarried woman find a husband.\u201d\nI remember the first wedding I went to as a little girl of four. I don\u2019t think I was presented with a piece of groom\u2019s cake, but I WAS sent home with a little box with a slice of wedding cake in it. And YES, I did put it under my pillow, as my mother told me I would dream of my husband\u2026Did I?? No, I slept the sleep of the very young, closing my eyes, and opening them ten hours later, as if just a moment had passed\u2026\nI think the tradition of the Groom\u2019s Cake is charming. From the research I\u2019ve done, it appears more often than not, to be a novelty cake. While the top cake looks luscious, and is quite different from the traditional white wedding cake, most of the \u201cGrooms\u2019 Cakes\u201d are themed based.\nI really like the wedding dress/tuxedo theme of the two cakes above, but my favorite is the cake below\u2026I think it\u2019s perfect for Tyler and KK. Both love to fish, and I think it would be a delightful addition to their menu. Rob and Maggie didn\u2019t have a groom\u2019s cake. For another guest dessert option, they picked macaroons, (a sentimental choice for them), and other various pastries.\nHeader: weddingwindow.com\nImage #1 embreehouse.net\nImage #2 blog.wedalert.com\nImage #3 eventstoatdc.com\nImage #4 weddings.gatheringguide.com\nPosted in Groom's cake\tTagged groom's cake, wedding cakes\tLeave a comment\nA Beautiful Alternative to the Sand Ceremony\nFirst it was the unity candle, then the sand ceremony. What is a sand ceremony? you may ask. Well, according to the website, \u201cHow Stuff Works\u201d, (see citation below), it is:\n\u201cAt its simplest, a sand ceremony involves a symbolic blending of two different-colored sands into a single vessel. The meaning is clear: The blending of two different beings, the bride and the groom, into a single, inseparable unit that is theirmarriage \u2014 the joining of their lives. Hard as it would be to separate out those grains of sand, that\u2019s how difficult it is to separate these two people. It usually takes place after the exchange of rings and vows (although it can go before or even during), and lasts just a couple of minutes.\u201d http://people.howstuffworks.com/culture-traditions/cultural-traditions/sand-ceremony1.htm\nBut people, especially brides, are always trying to be different, unique. A forward thinking company came up with a new idea\u2026that of providing a bride and groom glass beads that they can blend together at their wedding ceremony. The beads are then shipped back to the company in a prepaid box to be made into a beautiful, colorful work of art. The hope is that it will become a priceless family keepsake. Please see the description below from the company\u2019s own website. Be forewarned, however\u2026their pieces of art do not come cheap. The bowl below retails for $ 539.00 US Dollars. That is a mid-range price. A few are less\u2026a few more.\nTHE SAND CEREMONY ALTERNATIVE.\nUnity in Glass\u2122 has taken the unity ceremony to the next level of artistic expression. Unity in Glass is an extremely thoughtful and lasting alternative to a sand ceremony or a unity candle. Together with you, we create a work of art to remember your wedding for a lifetime.\n\u201cWith your custom made Unity in Glass sculpture, vase or bowl, you are taking the Unity Ceremony to the next level of personalization and artistic expression. As a lasting alternative to a unity candle or a sand ceremony you are creating a symbolic, highly personal, one of a kind art piece for your home. The process is collaborative and captures your spirit. You\u2019re working together with a highly skilled glass artist to create a work of art that will last a lifetime. You will share the story of your special day for years to come.\u201d http://www.unityinglass.com\nWill KK and Tyler do this\u2026keep reading to find out! \ud83d\ude42\nPosted in Sandy Ceremony\tTagged Alternative to the Sand Ceremony, Sand Ceremony\tLeave a comment",

This isn\u2019t exactly true, but I\u2019d have to be very piecemeal on my story work\u2026 and that doesn\u2019t have to be a bad thing.\nIt\u2019s also because I\u2019ve come up with a new game. It started when staying with my brother and his housemates over the summer; I asked them to give me a number between one and eighty, and each of these would be one of my poems that I then had to go back to and try to fix up. Yes, I have about eighty \u201cunfinished\u201d poems on my computer these days, although even the ones that are \u201cfinished\u201d and posted on here could be fixed up a bit.\nSo I\u2019ve got a new way to drive myself to write poetry. Feel free to give me one or two numbers in the comments below. Now all I need is something to get me back on the Longer Fiction Wagon. NaNoWriMo (which I\u2019ve failed at for several years) is going to rear it\u2019s ugly head again soon, though I wonder how much I\u2019ll like the idea of working on my story for an hour after a full day\u2019s work, every day for the whole of November. Probably I won\u2019t get very far.\nContinue reading \u201cCartography\u201d\nAuthor noseflautistPosted on October 17, 2010 November 26, 2010 Categories PoetryTags age, angel, beauty, cartography, drawing, face, Flickr, memory, NaNoWriMo, statue, stone, wrinkles, writing, youth1 Comment on Cartography\nIt\u2019s No Fun, Getting Old\nI promised you a short story today, and I shall not disappoint. This is a story that I\u2019m both proud and fond of \u2013 I\u2019ve put quite a bit of effort into it, and it\u2019s something that, every time I come back to it, I see ways to make it a little tighter, a little better. I hope that by \u201cpublishing\u201d it here, it doesn\u2019t stop this move to always improve.\nI\u2019m still looking for pictures to go with this story. If you have any, send me some?\nIt's No Fun, Getting Old\nOk, so. It was lunchtime, and I was just sitting on a bench in Charing Cross Station. I had just finished my lunch, I think I had a magazine, I was inside in the shade, so my chocolate bar didn\u2019t melt onto my good skirt. I remember at the time I was all worried about why Kyle hadn\u2019t called or left a message, and why he\u2019d been all distant on the phone the night before. This was back when I was with Kyle, but it wasn\u2019t a major deal, he explained it all later, but at the time I was really worried \u2018cause I thought he thought I was too young for him, I\u2019d seen a photo of his ex online, and I was nothing like her, so you know, was I even his type?\nBut anyway, none of that\u2019s important, it was a little thing, it blew over in like, no time.\nSo I was on this bench, and I was enjoying having lunch breaks, \u2018cause after years of being a student, you know, managing my own time? it was nice to have a bit of structure, you know? It was before I really knew anyone at work, so I wasn\u2019t up for lunch with anyone, and like I said, I wanted to think about Kyle and maybe text him again.\nAnd while I was sitting there, this old guy in a suit came over and stood really close to me. Really close, like he was in my personal space. And at first I was like, what\u2019s with this, you know, because it wasn\u2019t like there was a shortage of space, but you know when someone\u2019s in your space you feel really uncomfortable? So I moved over, to give him space to sit down, and I carried on reading my magazine.\nBut I\u2019d lost my focus and I was thinking about this guy, now. He didn\u2019t move to sit down next to me, but he spoke to me, he said, \u201cI wonder if you could help me.\u201d He was really old, like in his seventies, and he smelt of alcohol.\nAnd he said, \u201cOh, I\u2019ve just been today to my sister\u2019s funeral, and I was wondering if could you assist me to a taxi because I need to get over there.\u201d\nAnd I was like, ok, of course I can help you, but I was a bit miffed at first, because it was like \u2013 no wait, he didn\u2019t say that at first, he just came over and said can you help me to a taxi.\nAnd I thought, they\u2019re just over there, they\u2019re no distance at all, and he\u2019s made it here from wherever, presumably a train. So why\u2019s he come over to talk to me, you know? And afterwards, I felt really guilty for thinking this, for thinking, is this some sort of scam, is he some kind of perve, but actually, it\u2019s natural isn\u2019t it? To think that. Because no one comes up to you and talks to you in London, you have a kind of open privacy, where everyone can see you but no one talks to you. Everyone has this kind of personal space bubble, and when you\u2019re in it, you don\u2019t talk to strangers.\nAnd I know that \u2013 I reckon I\u2019ve got the kind of face, you know the kind of personality, that\u2019s open and foreigners and tourists come up to me and ask me for directions. But this one old man, he smelt of booze and I thought, what\u2019s he after?\nBut, then it was no distance at all, my train wasn\u2019t for ages, and I could see everyone else rushing past not looking, and now he\u2019d asked me, so what could I do? I couldn\u2019t like say no once he\u2019d asked me, I obviously had nothing better to do.\nSo I got up to help him, and he was pretty drunk, you know? His jacket was all crinkled, and his white shirt had this big blotchy red wine stain down it, and he stank of booze, and he was like, \u201cI\u2019ve got to lean on you.\u201d\nSo I had his suitcase by the arm, and he told me to put my other arm round his waist, right? But I just thought, let\u2019s get this done, and I started leading him across to the taxis, but obviously we were walking really slow, and he wants to lean on me, and I\u2019m thinking why, and I later found out he was limping, but he was just all like \u201cI\u2019ve got to lean on you\u201d, so I was being cautious.\nAnd we stopped for a break, about half way there, and then he really announced it to me, all of a sudden; \u201cI\u2019ve just come from my sister\u2019s funeral,\u201d all clear and precise, and then he started crying.\nAnd what do you do in that situation? I tried to be comforting, and say the right things, like \u201cOh, I\u2019m sorry to hear that,\u201d and then I didn\u2019t know what to say, and he was crying.\n\u201cWhere was the funeral?\u201d\n\u201cOut in Bournemouth. I went over there last night, the funeral was this morning. She died of cancer.\u201d\n\u201cOh, I\u2019m so sorry, that\u2019s awful. Was it unexpected?\u201d\n\u201cThere were a few months notice, but there was no time to do anything. She was younger than me,\u201d he said, \u201cshe was younger, she was only 82.\u201d\nAnd most of the time, I didn\u2019t say anything, he just talked and I said sympathetic things, and I started to ask him questions, thinking it might help him to talk it out. He said he lived alone, out in Shepherd\u2019s Bush in a flat, and sometimes a neighbour comes in, but if he dies in his flat, like no one would know. He didn\u2019t seem to have any kids, well he didn\u2019t mention any. Some of the time I asked questions, and he just sort of stared.\nAt one point I realised he was leading the way, looking straight ahead, not looking at me, and he was going the wrong way, and I said \u201cNo, no, the taxis are over here,\u201d and he said, \u201cNo, it\u2019s this way,\u201d but we could see the taxis by this point, so I pointed them out.\nAnd he said \u201cI\u2019ve not got long now, myself,\u201d and I thought maybe he had cancer too, but he didn\u2019t say, but he repeated it, and, and then he thanked me for helping him. He was very polite.\nAnd I explained slowly and politely that we were about to get to some steps, and that he should just take his time, no rush, and he, he thanked me again, and I walked at his pace down the steps, he was really leaning on me heavy, and I didn\u2019t want him to fall and hurt himself. I was being careful of the limp, and I was encouraging him, you know, not to give up hope, you know? Trying to be cheery. And I was like \u201cIt\u2019s no fun getting old, is it?\u201d\nAnd when we were halfway down, this woman and man came over and the woman asked us if we needed any help?\nSo I said I was taking him to a taxi, and she asked me where the taxi was to, and I said, \u201cOh, no, I\u2019m not, not with him, I\u2019m just helping out.\u201d So the old man told her Shepherd\u2019s Bush. She was in her thirties, and she was very helpful, she went over and got a taxi to come to the bottom of the steps, and told the driver where he was going, and to wait. And he started telling them the same story, that he was coming from his sister\u2019s funeral in Bournemouth, and the man was really sympathetic and took the bag, and put it in the boot.\nWe all helped him into the taxi together, and got his legs in on the passenger seat at the back, and he pressed my hands together and it was like, like, god bless you, and he smiled at me, a kind of worn-out smile, and still crying, but he said, \u201cyou\u2019re a Samaritan, you really are, you\u2019re all Samaritans. Thank you. Thank you very much.\u201d And the woman closed the door, and the taxi drove off, and she and the man left into the station.\nI stood there for a minute in the heat, and thought about it, and I got all emotional and went and sat down somewhere quiet. It was a real mix of emotions, \u2018cause I sort of thought, why did he come up to me, why, did he choose me? I sort of felt quite honoured.\nI called up Sarah and told her, and I think I even cried a bit. \u2018Cause he was such a sweet old man, and it must be horrible to have your younger sister die before you, and feel all alone.\nBut I\u2019ve thought about it since, and wondered if it was all an act, a way to get help from people, but that\u2019s a horrible thing to think, isn\u2019t it? And then I felt bad for questioning it, you know?\nI\u2019ve been playing with writing in a different voice, and it\u2019s actually a lot of fun to be a step further distant from the action \u2013 it means I feel more comfortable editing details, for a start, and I got to have a little go at being an unreliable narrator.

Two of them are short story writers, which is totally my favourite area. One is in the middle of writing a novel, and brings us extracts. There are a couple of others who turn up sporadically, but with me and my poetry / short stories, we\u2019re the centre of the group.\nLast week we decided that this week we should all write a piece of Flash Fiction \u2013 a story in 500 words or less. It\u2019s something they\u2019ve all had some experience of and I haven\u2019t, but I was totally up for the challenge. After all, if it\u2019s half way between the two media I use write, it can\u2019t be too hard, right?\nBefore I go further along this line, here\u2019s the story, with a brief introduction (which may be part of it\u2019s imperfection. It\u2019s the last 500 words (and the only words yet written) of a short story idea that was born from a dream, fully fledged. Sounds corny, I know, but I was SO excited that it happened. I woke up and wrote and wrote notes of what happens, and, while I have yet to re-read them, they came to 20 A5 pages of scrawl.\nAnyway, without further ado:\n\u201cHere\u2019s your car.\u201d\nShe stood, patient and warmly smiling by my car, her hands clasped on her handbag in front of her, as I fidgeted with my car keys.\n\u201cWell, this is goodbye, then,\u201d I said, trying to inflect my voice with a heartiness that fell flat.\nShe smiled in sympathy at me, a \u2018poor boy\u2019 smile at my attempt. \u201cYou\u2019re not used to goodbyes, are you? I am.\u201d We looked at one another.\n\u201cTell me,\u201d she said, \u201cCan I\u2026 can I touch your face? \u2026 Can I feel\u2026 if it\u2019s\u2026?\u201d She didn\u2019t need to finish that sentence. I took her right hand, gently, and brought it up to my face, then let go. First she touched my forehead, just with the tip of a finger, then moved it gently sideways, her other fingers joining it, and slowly moved to my hair, and brushed lightly against my ear. Her hand circled my ear, and I looked down to her to see that she\u2019d closed her eyes. I removed my glasses. Still brushing lightly, with the tips of three fingertips, she drew down to my bristly cheeks and sighed as she touched my chin. Then, infinitesimally slower, she drew her whole hand up my face, feeling with each finger the contours of my lips, cheeks, eyes, nose, and finally back to the forehead, before it rested for a second, then lifting her hand slowly away. She opened her eyes, full of sadness.\n\u201cSo much the same, and yet so different\u2026 \u2026 did I tell you how, when you picked up the phone, your voice\u2026 it made my heart leap?\u201d\nShe looked down at the tarmac, and I said, \u201cThings change. Time moves on, and things don\u2019t just stay the same forever.\u201d\n\u201cAnd despite it all, the dead would want us to be happy, to live our lives.\u201d She chuckled. \u201cSometimes the clich\u00e9s are true. I hear them at funerals. You\u2019re far too young to know the real truth of that wisdom, a lesson it takes a whole life to learn, and yet\u2026 it still surprises you, catches you by the throat.\u201d\n\u201cStill, I\u2019m glad to have met you.\u201d\nShe smiled warmly at me. \u201cYou know, in all you have shown me, nothing has felt quite real, except the time I\u2019ve spent with you.\u201d\nIt seemed wrong to, but I leant down, and lifted her chin, and kissed her, briefly, softly, on the lips.\nI stepped into my car and drove away.\nHaving read that, a few points, which may explain its confusion. It is about the narrator\u2019s grandfather\u2019s lover, and she\u2019s not blind.\nThis was amongst the criticisms I received \u2013 lack of clarity. I\u2019ve also learned to cut all cliches from my writing (including \u201csometimes the cliches are true\u201d) , and that,despite all the positive reinforcement I\u2019ve been getting, I still have a long way to go.\nWhich is why I\u2019ve posted this version of the story \u2013 as something to look back on when I\u2019m better at this and say, \u201cYes, I\u2019ve improved.\u201d I think Flash Fiction merits more practice, for a start, and I also think this story may resurface as a complete short story.\nPlease feel free to post comments!\nAuthor noseflautistPosted on April 26, 2009 May 12, 2009 Categories Short StoriesTags age, creative writing, flash fiction, goodbye, memory, old woman, short storyLeave a comment on \u201cGoodbye\u201d Story, and Lessons to Learn",

        "raw_content": "You are here: Home / Entertainment / Music / Talking story with Jeff Bridges before he plays the Sheraton Maui Resort\nTalking story with Jeff Bridges before he plays the Sheraton Maui Resort\nJanuary 20, 2016 by Kate Bradshaw 2 Comments\nThere\u2019s probably no actor whose name is as synonymous with just taking it easy as Jeff Bridges. So we imagine that when he travels to Maui to play a show this Saturday, Jan. 23 at the Sheraton Maui Resort, he\u2019ll enjoy himself. Bridges is perhaps best known for playing the Dude in the insanely quotable cult classic The Big Lebowski, but the Oscar winner, musician and anti-hunger activist is quite the achiever. We recently caught up with Bridges, who abided us a conversation about everything from his work with No Kid Hungry to being the Dude.\nMAUITIME: I noticed you\u2019re playing a show on Maui, but not on the other islands. What brings you out to Maui to play a single show?\nJEFF BRIDGES: We were asked, for one thing. And that\u2019s always nice, to be invited. And my brother has a place in the islands, so I\u2019ll be spending some time with him. And it gives me a chance to play with my good buddy Chris Pelonis, who is my good friend and musical director of the Abiders, the band that we are both in.\nMT: Do you plan on doing any island-hopping while you\u2019re there?\nJB: Yeah, we\u2019ll probably be [checking out] different islands. We haven\u2019t figured \u2018em out yet, which ones we\u2019re going to visit, but we\u2019ll probably take a little trip. My wife will be coming with me. She\u2019s my, uh, groupie. I travel with my own groupie. That\u2019s kind of nice.\nMT: Yeah, that seems like a good idea. Maui is the kind of place where you never know who\u2019s going to show up on stage and play a set. Willie Nelson comes to mind in that regard. Is that in the cards, potentially, while you\u2019re there?\nJB: Could be. You never know. Chris and I love to play around, so if something pops up, we may just show up somewhere else, too.\nMT: Any plans on working some island-inspired sounds\u2013say, working a uke part into a tune or two?\nJB: I don\u2019t think so, no, not at this time, but we never know what\u2019s going to happen ourselves at our shows, so it\u2019s hard to give any predictions. Who knows? I\u2019ll have to run that by Chris. He plays an uke, so who knows? We may add a little of that.\nMT: Do you work out your set lists in advance or do you just kind of see how it feels and build it from there?\nJB: We\u2019ve been working on some new material and reworking some of the other stuff. Some songs from Crazy Heart and some stuff from our albums we\u2019ve done in the past with the Abiders, an album that I put out with my buddy T-Bone Burnett after Crazy Heart. We\u2019ll do some songs off that, and some, like I said, some new songs that we\u2019re working on, too.\nMT: Very cool. I have to ask, given the shocking news we had recently, do you plan on doing any songs to pay tribute to David Bowie?\nJB: Not right now, but you never know. You\u2019re dropping a lot of good ideas on me. The Bowie idea, the uke idea\u2026We\u2019re both Starman, you know, so I have an affinity to him in that way. But I haven\u2019t worked out any of those tunes.\nMT: So, another thing I have to ask is Dude-related, of course. I imagine that the Sheraton that night is going to stock the bar with a lot of Kahlua, more so than usual. Do you expect to see a lot of people out in the audience clad in bathrobes?\nJB: [Laughs.] Could be. I feel so blessed to have been a big part of that movie, The Big Lebowski. It\u2019s one of my favorite movies, whether I was in it or not. It\u2019s just a wonderful film, you know? The Coen Brothers, they\u2019re masters. They really know how to make movies\u2026 And of all my movies, that\u2019s probably the one I\u2019m most recognized for. And I don\u2019t mind that at all.\nMT: You\u2019ve been involved with the fight against child hunger for a long time. Any plans on helping to bring the issue into the national dialogue ahead of the 2016 elections?\nJB: I\u2019ve been very involved with the hunger issue for about 30 years now. I helped out an organization called the End Hunger Network 30 years ago, and about 20 years ago we shifted our focus from world hunger to hunger here in America, because it started to raise its head and it continues today. One in five kids here in our country struggle with food insecurity\u2026 I\u2019m happy to say that it\u2019s really a bipartisan issue. We\u2019ve had great response from Republicans as well as Democrats to make their states No Kid Hungry states. Primarily we\u2019re talking about Breakfast After the Bell at school. So many of these kids that are struggling with hunger depend on nutrition at school.\nMT: Speaking of politics, in my mind, the Dude would totally support Bernie Sanders. Do you have any thoughts on the candidate roster going into this election?\nJB: Yeah, they\u2019re all fascinating. I\u2019m enjoying listening to all the candidates. Talking about hunger, Martin O\u2019Malley, also running on the Democratic ticket, we jammed together up in Maryland. He\u2019s a musician and we played together at different events. He\u2019s really on the forefront of ending child hunger in his state.\nMT: You\u2019ve always seemed like a happy guy\u2014blissful, even. What could you tell our readers about maintaining that state of mind in an often chaotic world?\nJB: Yeah, well, it\u2019s quite wonderful to be alive, you know? And like the Dude might say, there\u2019s strikes and gutters. There are some bad times that are challenging and some wonderful times. And for me, one of the strategies or the tasks is to get out of my own way\u2013whether it\u2019s preparing for a role, or doing music or making a painting or anything, just kind of get out of my way of my own personal notions about the results that are hoped for and just kind of letting the thing come through me.\nSaturday, Jan. 23 at 8pm\n2605 Ka\u2018anapali Pkwy.\nKate Bradshaw is a former MauiTime staff writer/calendar editor now working as the News and Politics Editor at Creative Loafing Tampa.\nPhoto: Gage Skidmore/Wikimedia Commons\nFiled Under: Music Tagged With: Bernie Sanders, Sheraton Maui Resort and Spa, Willie Nelson",

It wasn\u2019t that he was bullied or picked on, but he describes himself as just \"overlooked\". It wasn\u2019t until he began to perform in Off-Broadway theater productions that he began to understand his place in the world as an actor. It also provided a way to get out of school, which was an added bonus.\nEisenberg has been able to take his passion for acting into a number of film roles, including a neurotic college student in the horror-comedy Zombieland, a stoner who is unknowingly a government agent in American Ultra and his Oscar-nominated performance as Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg in The Social Network.\nHe's written and starred in three Off-Broadway plays. And for the past few years, he's also been writing short fiction, which has appeared in the New Yorker and McSweeney's.

        "raw_content": "\"A Good Life: Newspapering and Other Adventures\" (03:54)\nBenjamin Bradlee began his memoirs in 1994; this video contains quotes from the autobiography and interviews throughout. In October 1940, W.T. Grant began a study to understand the factors that led to intelligent living; Bradlee participated.\nMilestones in Bradlee's Life (03:17)\nBradlee contracted polio at the age of 14. On August 8, 1942, he graduated Harvard, married Jean Saltonstall, and was commissioned an ensign in the U.S. Naval Reserve; he became Officer of the Deck. Bradlee discovered leadership skills and a lack of fear.\nBradlee's First Newspaper Job (03:11)\nIn August 1948, Jean gave birth to Benjamin Bradlee Jr. In December, Bradlee got a newspaper job and moved to Washington; he was assigned to municipal court. Hear an excerpt from the Grant Study about Bradlee's psyche and desire to be a foreign correspondent.\nForeign Correspondent (05:18)\nIn 1953, Bradlee was offered the job of Newsweek European correspondent. He enjoyed living in France and reveled in his sexuality; he had an affair with a friend's wife. In 1954, Bradlee fell in love with Antoinette (Tony) Pinchot Pitmen.\nBradlee Returns to Washington (05:44)\nBradlee and Tony married in 1956 and Bradlee returned to the Newsweek Bureau. He and Tony became close friends with John and Jackie Kennedy. JFK's presidency was an exciting but confusing time for Bradlee.\nAssassination of the President (03:50)\nIn 1962, JFK gave Bradlee the scoop on the story that Francis Gary Powers was traded for Rudolf Abel. The Bradlees and the Kennedys spent a day together a week before the president's trip to Texas. Bradlee struggled with JFK's death.\nMary Pinchot Meyer (04:21)\nA few months after JFK's assassination, Bradlee's sister-in-law was murdered. Her diary stated she had an affair with the president; Bradlee did not consider reporting the story. Experts reflect on the president's extra marital activities.\nMajor News in the U.S. (04:01)\nGoldwater called for bombing in Vietnam while crowds in America protested. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated, triggering riots; Robert Kennedy was killed three months later. Richard Nixon became president and Bradlee became editor of \"The Washington Post; Bradlee invented \"Style.\"\nPentagon Papers (06:53)\nIn 1971, the \"New York Times\" released a story about the depth of America's involvement in Vietnam. An injunction halted the \"Times'\" publication of the papers so \"The Washington Post\" began publishing installments; the Justice Department obtained another injunction. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of the two newspapers.\nFire Bradlee?

Top White House aides were fired; Bradlee wanted to expose Nixon as a liar.\nWatergate Panel Hearings (04:29)\nA Senate committee investigated the Watergate scandal and subpoenaed the White House tapes; Nixon refused and impeachment became a possibility. Bradlee acknowledged that the press would be blamed for something bad happening during the presidency. Nixon resigned the presidency.\n\"All the President's Men\" (05:30)\nDustin Hoffman and Robert Redford portrayed Woodward and Bernstein in the movie; Jason Robards portrayed Bradlee. Bradlee was skeptical of Hollywood. Sally Quinn and Bradlee fell in love and married in October 1978.\nNewspaper Newsroom (02:33)\n\"All the President's Men\" interested people in journalism. Many sought jobs at \"The Washington Post;\" hear stories from former Post reporters.\n\"Jimmy's World\" (09:01)\nJanet Cooke joined \"The Washington Post.\" She wrote an article which won a Pulitzer Prize; the story turned out to be fabricated.

In July 1991, Bradlee retired from \"The Washington Post.\"\nBradlee's Legacy (03:55)\nIn his autobiography, Bradlee recounts his life during significant moments in American history; he died in 2014. Hear Bradlee's lesson for many and his letter to a high school student.\nCredits: The Newspaper Man (01:25)\nCredits: The Newspaper Man\nThis feature documentary tells the fascinating story of one of America\u2019s most influential and celebrated newspaper editors, utilizing rare home movies and photos, archival material spanning over 70 years, interview footage with family and colleagues, and voice-overs of passages from Ben Bradlee\u2019s 1995 autobiography A Good Life: Newspapering and Other Adventures, to chart the career and personal life of a man who freely admitted he had been \u201cdealt an awfully good hand.\u201d A Harvard-educated scion of a prominent Boston family, Bradlee found himself at the center of many of the 20th Century\u2019s most seismic storms, including: World War II (he was a Navy officer in the Pacific theater); the ascension and assassination of John F. Kennedy (Bradlee and his wife were extremely close with Jack and Jackie); the First Amendment fight to publish the Pentagon Papers (detailing secret strategies of the U.S. military in Vietnam) in The New York Times and Bradlee\u2019s newspaper, The Washington Post; and the fall of Richard Nixon after the Post\u2019s electrifying Watergate revelations. As a result, Bradlee was cast as the country\u2019s most prominent (and possibly only) celebrity newspaperman, apologist (he had to admit a 1981 Pulitzer Prize-winning Post story was bogus), and elder statesman preaching the gospel of good journalism: \u201cnot to be loved, but to go after the truth.\u201d\nFrom The Library of Black History: ...\nHas America Had Five Black Presiden...\nHis-Story: Black History\u2019s Little K...\n10 Modern Marvels that Changed Amer...",

        "raw_content": "META architecture office and MikeViktorViktor architects have designed 5 building clusters around a green, traffic-calmed square. These include residential properties, a centre for adult education, commercial spaces and an underground car park. The Oude God Mortsel project is located in the interior area between the new Stadspark, the Mechelsesteenweg and the Edegemsestraat.\nThis green square \u2013 the Stadsterras (city terrace) of Mortsel \u2013 will connect the centrally located Gemeenteplein (town square) with the new Oude God city park. The construction of this new urban park provided the impetus for converting several remaining plots in the heart of Mortsel into a qualitative core in-fill project that will enrich the city. META and MikeViktorViktor have designed this development of approximately 22,000 m2 with a 245-space underground car park.\nThe Sint-Lutgardis school, which was bombed by the Allies in 1943, today houses the LBC-NVK Centre for Adult Education (CVO). The school is part of the historical heritage of the city of Mortsel, a tangible reminder of the drama of the bombardment. The design team have opted to preserve the entire building, which will be converted into a residential project with a green courtyard garden.\nThe main building on the Mechelsesteenweg will acquire a low-threshold, commercial function on the ground floor. In the back section, classrooms will be converted into residential units. For the design team, the preservation of the existing patrimony was a given. They were not only inspired by its historical significance but also by the concept of sustainability, which dictates that the existing patrimony should not be unnecessarily replaced.\nThe Centre for Adult Education will vacate the historic property and be given a new building that meets all the requirements of a school environment in the 21st century. Architectural quality, a clear structure and a focus on sustainability are paramount.\nAlong the connection to the Mechelsesteenweg, in addition to the new school building, there will also be a residential programme with commercial and tertiary functions on the ground floor, such as, for example, a nursery, a doctor\u2019s office and spaces for other liberal professions. The connection from the Edegemsestraat also includes a residential programme with social housing on one side and, on the other, a commercial ground floor surmounted by a residential development. A new neighbourhood supermarket with an underground car park will occupy a central position on the square. There is also a focus on collective initiatives and facilities throughout the area.\nLandinzicht and Quadrant have design a traffic-free and above all green public space \u2013 one that shapes the transition from park, crosses the adjoining gardens and abuts the Mechelsesteenweg and Edegemsestraat \u2013 in a sound and well-considered manner.\nThe public domain will be enhanced through the integration of art by the internationally renowned artist Dirk Braeckman. Amongst his many notable achievements, Braeckman represented Belgium at the Venice Biennale in 2017.\nCommercial, Public, Education, Collective\nMikeViktorViktor architects architect partner\nDirk Braeckman integrated art project\nQuadrant landscape engineering\nDMI Vastgoed project development\nDemoco general contracting",

        "raw_content": "New report: River water quality sees big improvement, some declines in last 40 years\nWater quality in the seven-county metro area\u2019s three major rivers shows major improvement in the last 40 years in some respects, but in others pollution has become more of an issue over time. Generally, concentrations of sediment, bacteria and phosphorus decreased from 1976 to 2015, but nitrogen and chloride increased.\nThe Metropolitan Council recently published \u201cRegional Assessment of River Quality in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area 1976-2015: Minnesota, Mississippi, St. Croix Rivers\u201d (PDF, 17MB). The report is intended to provide a solid base of technical information to support decisions about water resources in the region.\n\u201cOur region is a highly desirable place to live, borne out by population growth of more than one million people since 1976,\u201d said Sam Paske, Assistant General Manager for Environmental Quality Assurance in the Council\u2019s Environmental Services division. \u201cThe investments and collaborative work by communities, watershed organizations, state agencies, nonprofit organizations and the Metropolitan Council have shown real, positive results for water quality. It demonstrates that working together is the best approach to dealing with challenges we face as a region.\u201d\nMonitoring of the rivers dates back to the 1920s. Just a few years after passage of the federal Clean Water Act in 1972, the Council\u2019s river monitoring program was broadened. The electronic record of the data is available starting in 1976.\nCommon river pollutants include sediment, nutrients, bacteria and chloride (see box). Generally, concentrations of sediment, bacteria and phosphorus (a nutrient) have decreased since 1976, leading to improvements in water quality. But concentrations of nitrogen (another nutrient) and chloride increased, which is an issue for the rivers.\nWhy has water quality of the rivers improved?\nSediment \u2013 Silt and other particles suspended in water can reduce light for plant growth, clog fish gills, raise water temperature, and carry nutrients to receiving waters.\nNutrients \u2013 Largely phosphorus and nitrate, they can cause severe algae growth and reduce oxygen in the water.\nBacteria \u2013 Microscopic organisms, some of which can harm human health.\nChloride \u2013 A component of salt that can hurt aquatic life.\nMany factors have likely contributed to the improvements since passage of the 1972 Clean Water Act:\nState water quality standards targeting pollutants such as sediment, phosphorus and bacteria.\nInvestments in wastewater treatment technology, such as advanced secondary treatment and bio-phosphorus removal, to reduce pollutants in treatment plant discharges.\nLegislation banning the use of phosphorus in laundry detergents, dishwasher detergents and lawn fertilizer.\nWatershed-wide restoration efforts and implementation of best management practices.\nChanges in agricultural practices, including conservation tillage and stream buffers.\nBetter management of urban stormwater runoff.\nWhy have some pollutants increased?\nDespite some improvements, portions of the metro area rivers still have degraded water quality. Some likely factors:\nIncrease in hard, impervious surfaces which leads to more runoff into rivers.\nIncreased use of de-icing and water softening salts.\nIncreased number of drain-tile systems on farmland to remove water quickly, which can lead to streambank and gully erosion.\nImproper use of fertilizer in urban and agricultural settings.\nCollective efforts, education and a new standard needed to make further progress\nMany groups are working to protect and restore Minnesota\u2019s water resources. Continued collective efforts will be needed to support state, regional and local water resources management and pollution control programs. The report recommends several strategies to support these efforts:\nEstablish a state water quality standard that aims to reduce nitrate being discharged to our water resources to protect aquatic life.\nEducate citizens and municipalities on efficient chloride use to help combat the rising chloride concentrations across the region.\nMaintain working relationships between citizens, local water management organizations, and state and federal agencies to plan and carry out projects that improve river water quality.\nContinue long-term monitoring of metro area rivers to stay informed on changing water quality.\nMore about the Regional River Water Quality Report\nRegional Rivers Assessment Overview Fact Sheet (PDF)",

        "title": "Trayvon Martin: Florida Policeman Fired For Using Trayvon Martin Shooting Targets",
        "raw_content": "Trayvon Martin: Florida Policeman Fired For Using Trayvon Martin Shooting Targets\nThat hoodie, Skittles, and iced tea are back in the limelight as a Port Canaveral police sergeant and firearms instructor was fired this week for possessing shooting targets with the likeness of Trayvon Martin. Sgt. Ron King was fired this week after an internal investigation revealed that he had offered the paper targets to others for practice.\nGiven the wide ranging and often frustrating reactions to this case from the beginning, including the specific racist overtones that have emerged about the hoodie alone, one cannot be surprised that somebody thought the idea of having shooting targets resembling Trayvon would be a good idea. However, the fact that a uniformed member of the police force would feel confident enough to first purchase, and then publicly display the targets intended for use is a clear example of the incomplete nature of race relations and sensitivity training in modern America.\nThe paper targets, that surfaced online last year shortly after the incident, are black and white images of a faceless person wearing a hoodie and holding an iced tea in the right hand with a bag of Skittles peaking through from the right pocket. This is the description of Trayvon Martin that neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman called in to 911 before stepping out and confronting Martin and shooting him on February 26, 2012.\nPort Canaveral Interim Chief Executive Officer John Walsh described Sgt. King&apos;s behavior as either coming from \"hatred or stupidity, [and] none is tolerable\" when discussing King&apos;s termination from the Port Canaveral Police Department. Fellow officers who saw Sgt. King&apos;s shooting targets reported him to the department, prompting the investigation and consequent termination.\nThe Martin family issued a statement through their lawyer Benjamin L. Crump, summarizing common sense sentiment that, \"using a dead child\u2019s image as target practice is reprehensible.\" King is trying to make his case that he agrees. In a video posted to YouTube on Sunday, King defends himself by saying that his intent for the shooting targets was to use them as an example of \"no-shoot\" scenarios while training his students. Saying that he is being used as the scapegoat for \"political agendas\" of the Port Canaveral Police Department.\nThis story is about to become national news as the court case against Zimmerman continues on June 10, as has every single aspect of this case because of the lack of dialgoue surrounding these issues. That might seem like an underestimation but given the rise of self-expression through the internet using social media, it is clear how many people continue to harbor ignorance and latent (or not so latent) racism in this country.\nWe tend to pay attention to the loudest and most absurd, but events like this are to remind us the that majority of the people are like King, exhibiting a racist ignorance common in our cultural reality and acting as a consequent victim of the ignorance.",

In addition, specific CTL recognizing leukemia antigens such as BCR/ABL, proteinase-3 and Wilms tumor 1 protein have been identified in CML patients without SCT 6. However, in the peripheral blood of CML patients, only low-avidity CTL were detectable. High-avidity CTL might have\nbeen deleted through apoptotic processes due to the persistence of the CML 7. Nevertheless, CML-specific CTL may be involved in the control of the leukemia in the chronic phase over several years and coexist Raf inhibitor with the leukemia. The mechanisms controlling this delicate balance between the immune system and BGJ398 leukemia are largely unknown. CD8+ T cells are activated and develop their effector functions after antigen recognition. Clonal expansion and differentiation into effector CD8+ T cells is followed by a contraction phase, in which cells either die after fulfilling their effector functions or develop into long-living memory CD8+ T cells. The maintenance of memory CD8+ T cells\nand CD8+ T-cell homeostasis is dependent on IL-7 and IL-15 8, 9. A fraction of the effector CD8+ T cells, expressing the IL-7 receptor \u03b1-chain (IL-7R\u03b1) Glutamate dehydrogenase during the primary response, is selected to differentiate into memory CD8+ T cells, whereas a majority of the effector CD8+ T cells remains IL-7R\u03b1\u2212. IL-7 maintains T-cell viability through the JAK-STAT and the PI3K-AKT pathways, which act to increase the expression of the antiapoptotic proteins Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL, repress the expression of proapoptotic Bax and maintain glucose metabolism to prevent cellular atrophy and death 10. Therefore, IL-7R\u03b1+ effector CD8+ T cells are protected from activation-induced cell death and persist long-term.\nIL-7 secretion has been documented by fetal liver cells, stromal cells in the bone marrow and thymus and other epithelial cells, including keratinocytes and enterocytes 11. The IL-7 receptor consists of the IL-7R\u03b1 (CD127) and the common cytokine receptor \u03b3-chain 12 and is expressed on early thymocytes, activated T cells, pre-B cells and bone marrow macrophages 13. Several studies in murine bone marrow transplantation models have documented that post-transplant IL-7 administration to recipients of syngeneic or allogeneic bone marrow transplantation enhances lymphoid reconstitution 13\u201315. Moreover, IL-7 increased homeostatic proliferation of transferred and de novo generated T cells 16. In this study, we analyzed the involvement of CD8+ T cells in the control of CML in a murine retroviral bone marrow transduction and transplantation model.",

        "raw_content": "March 9, 2015 March 10, 2015 mikhaeyla kopievskyCP Patrick, indie author, quick six, self-publishing, The Truth About Awiti1 Comment\nThe Quick Six \u2013 with Sara Whitford\nMarch 1, 2015 March 1, 2015 mikhaeyla kopievskyindie, indie author, interview, quick six, sara whitford, self-publishing, the smuggler's gambitLeave a comment\nThis week, I\u2019m interviewing Sara Whitford \u2013 a stay-at-home, work-at-home, homeschooling mom living on the North Carolina coast, who also juggles work as a web designer and part-time magazine editor.\nI first met Sara through the monthly writing challenge and was impressed with her support and encouragement of writers and self-publishers. Sara has recently published her first novel \u2013 The Smuggler\u2019s Gambit \u2013 the story of 17-year-old Adam Fletcher, who upon being bound into an apprenticeship finds himself a pawn in the middle of a smuggling war.\n\u200bMy first novel, The Smuggler\u2019s Gambit, is only up for pre-order now. It won\u2019t debut until March 20, so my answer may change once my book is in public circulation, but for now, I\u2019d have to say the most rewarding thing about self-publishing is tied directly into the reason I did it in the first place. I wanted total control over my own creative work.\nLet me put it this way: As much work, as much research, as much heart, as much everything that goes into creating something like a novel\u2014I just can\u2019t see doing all of that and then signing the rights over to a publishing house so that they can pay me a fraction of what the book is bringing in. Not to mention, the only deadlines I had were those I imposed upon myself. I designed the cover art for my book. I did the layout for the interior. I hired my copy editor. I developed the website for the book series\u2014all on my own. It\u2019s a labor of love for me. There was no one else standing over me telling me what to do and when, and I think that was\u200b the most rewarding aspect. Total control, which also means whether my book really takes off, or whether it tanks, I will know that, by God\u2019s grace, I was able to bring it all together and make it happen. I was able to create something that\u2019s never been in the world before\u2014this unique story, with these unique characters, and the circumstances they live through.\n\u200bThe most challenging thing about self-publishing is \u200bthe same thing that makes it rewarding. Total control. That also means the pressure is on. You have to not only make sure you turn out a great story that\u2019s clean, well-edited and with a nice layout and cover, you also have to do the work of marketing the thing. Then again, I\u2019ve heard from some traditionally published friends that even authors who have books with the big publishing houses\u2014unless they\u2019re already bestsellers\u2014have to do a lot of the marketing for the books on their own\u2026 so maybe that\u2019s not unique to self-publishing.\nI do know that once my book launches in a few weeks, I\u2019m going to have to do some public events\u2014things like mini-lectures with question and answer sessions at the end, along with a book signing. I have to confess, I don\u2019t mind promoting my stuff online all day long, but when it comes to getting out in public, it\u2019s a struggle. I\u2019m pretty introverted, as writers can often be, and so it takes a lot out of me to do public speaking\u2014at least I\u2019ve found that to be the case in the past when I\u2019ve done local history lectures.\n\u200bI wish I had realized that writing the first draft really is just getting the basic story down. It\u2019s not meant to be anywhere near perfect, and it will go through so many revisions, and then hopefully a good copy edit. The final product will be quite different from that initial draft.\u200b I am glad that I learned a great technique very early on in producing my first draft. I call it \u201cwriting as if.\u201d I won\u2019t elaborate on that here, but if anyone is interested, I have a post about it on my website.\n\u200bI have a son who\u2019s nearly twelve. He\u2019s a huge inspiration to me\u2014in fact, I dedicated my book to him. I hope that it will show him that if you set a goal and you are willing to work hard to achieve it, then Lord willing, you can make it happen.\u200b\nI\u2019ve also had some great motivation along the way from the WritingChallenge.org community, in fact, that\u2019s how we met, Mikhaeyla.\nAs far as help, I have had two very good author friends who have both been a tremendous help to me: Terrance Zepke and Kevin Duffus. Terrance has had lots of advice for me relating to the publishing industry and the business of actually producing my novel. Kevin is a very knowledgeable historian when it comes to North Carolina coastal history. He has been there answering any of my questions along the way about historical details in the novel.\n\u200bI am so excited about the future for indie authors and self-publishing. And along with that, I\u2019m even excited about what this will mean for traditional publishers and their relationships with authors. As time goes on, traditional publishers are going to have to work a lot harder to convince authors to sign on the dotted line.\nThings are so much easier now\u2014especially with the print-on-demand services by CreateSpace and IngramSpark\u2014that there\u2019s really nothing holding anyone back these days from being a published author.\nSome say that ends up creating far too much inferior work for readers to wade through, but I am a big believer in the idea of the cream rising to the top. I think good books will be enjoyed by readers. And readers will see to it that those books are successful. Of course it\u2019s also on the indie author to make sure folks know about their book. With the ease of creating websites these days, and all of the social media outfits where you can enjoy all kinds of free publicity and interaction with potential readers\u2014there is no excuse for people to not know about your self-published books.\u200b\n\u200bThe Smuggler\u2019s Gambit is the first book of the Adam Fletcher series. The back of the book blurb describes it like this:\nPort Beaufort, North Carolina \u2014 May 1765When 17-year-old Adam Fletcher is forced into an apprenticeship, he unwittingly becomes a pawn in a smuggling war.Soon, he\u2019s forced to make a tough decision. Will he agree to become a spy performing a civic duty to the Crown? Or will he risk everything \u2014 possibly even putting his own family in danger \u2014 to protect his new master?Secrets will be revealed, loyalties will be questioned, betrayals will be uncovered, and a young man\u2019s character will be put to the test in The Smuggler\u2019s Gambit.\u200b\nWhy are people going to love it? Well, it remains to be seen whether or not they will, but I can tell you that I love this story and these characters. It is a mild adventure\u2014at least compared to the wild circumstances Adam will find himself in in book 2, Captured in the Caribbean. \u200bIn The Smuggler\u2019s Gambit, the action builds slowly as the full cast of characters is introduced, but once the ball starts rolling, readers aren\u2019t going to believe how things turn out!\nThe Quick Six \u2013 Interviewing Indie Authors on their Self-Publishing Journey\nFebruary 22, 2015 February 22, 2015 mikhaeyla kopievskyindie author, interviews, quick six, self-publishingLeave a comment\nAs you all know, I am keen to self-publish my debut novel, Divided Elements: Resistance. I get a lot of inspiration from other authors who are going down the same path and I thought it would be great if I could tap into (and share) their unique and fascinating forays into the self-publishing world.\nAnd so, The Quick Six was born. Over the next couple of months (and hopefully well into the future), I will be interviewing independent authors on their self-publishing stories, using six quick questions to gain insight into their processes, thoughts and works.\nKeep an eye out for the first quick six hitting the Indie Authors page in the next couple of weeks.\n(Featured Image courtesy of Holly Gramazio via Flickr Creative Commons)",

The most notable reasons for this study were to provide tangible evidence of the accomplishments of the athletes, teams and coaches, and to observe the strides forward the athletes had made. The history is divided into three time periods. The first spanned the years from inception of athletes in 1905 to 1928. The second begins in 1928 with the affiliation in the Monroe-Vernon Conference and extends to the spring of 1958. The final period begins in the fall of 1958 when conference affiliation was changed to the present day Scenic Central Conference. A chronological narrative approach was used in the study with pertinent incidents mentioned whenever they were appropriate.\nSchool sports -- Wisconsin -- Cashton -- History\nCashton High School",

        "raw_content": "Abbey Lincoln's quotes\nI listened to Billie Holiday a lot in order to learn to sing. She remains one of the extraordinary jazz singers. But my intent is to become my own voice, to be able to interpret these songs in my own way.\nI just feel - specifically about that holiday - why is it just one day that you have to tell the person that you love how much you love them? I think that is a little silly. I am much more the girl that likes the spontaneous.\nThe second trial was a fair trial. I do not call it a second trial. I call it a fair trial, as opposed to the first trial, which was an unfair trial, a Roman holiday.\nI can only say the first thing that pops into my mind is I remember, years ago, seeing kind of a has-been country singer working - when I first moved to Nashville - in a bar in a Holiday Inn.\nThere is no racial or ethnic involvement in Thanksgiving, and people who may be very distant from the Christian system can see the beauty and the positive spirit that comes from the holiday.\nIn our open society, we are inclined to give to the less fortunate for the pure goodness of giving. We open our home to those who are alone on this holiday to spread some warmth into the life of another.\nI have been determined for the past couple of years to move away from all those Holiday programmes.\nI've just finished my next collection, Possible Side Effects, and I'm now working on a collection of holiday stories as well as a memoir about my relationship with my father.\nI knew there was something I had to do yesterday. I couldn't remember what it is. I can't figure it out. I know it's a holiday. I know I don't have a meeting. It's very confusing.\nWho the hell wants fourteen pairs of shoes when they go on holiday? I haven't had fourteen pairs in my life.\nWhen Billie Holiday sings a song, I hear the song, but I always hear her and her truth.\nI love oldies just kind of sweet, slinky, Fifties music. The slow stuff. And Billie Holiday.\nBillie Holiday I never met, but I love her music.\nWe usually use that mostly on the weekends because we have access to the range during the week. But I can tell you a number of times they have had a training holiday at Fort Benning, so nobody trains, and to drag him in is like pulling teeth.\nI have been keeping myself fit. I am going on holiday next week in the Mediterranean so that I can really unwind after the football season and have a rest.\nThere is an atmosphere about the picture theatre that speaks of entertainment and relaxation. The charming surroundings, good music, and the fact that each visitor is determined to enjoy a few hours of holiday all exert an influence on the mind.\nIn August most of Europe goes on holiday.\nThere are a lot of Grinches out there that would like nothing better than to take any references to religion out of the holiday season.\nWith all of the holiday cheer in the air, it's easy to overlook the ingredients in the foods. Ingredients such as salt, sugar, and fat - all of which leads to diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, strokes, heart disease, and cancer.\nI was born in London in 1919. I first went to America in 1946 for a three-month holiday. Then I came back, worked here for almost a year sold up my home and went back on immigration in 1947.\nI don't want to go to the Bahamas on holiday. I hate islands. I want to go to Brittany, where it's cold and raining, and there's nothing fancy about it.\nEvery man who possibly can should force himself to a holiday of a full month in a year, whether he feels like taking it or not.\nI wanted to play piano in restaurants in the south of France. I went there on holiday once and I saw this guy playing in an old tuxedo. He was all disheveled, with a whisky glass on the piano. I thought that was the coolest thing. So what's happened to me with 'Twilight' isn't really what I'd planned.\nSince I'm always working, my best holiday memories are definitely when I can just go home and spend time with my family.\nI thought the Billie Holiday comparison was beautiful. I think, Wow, what a wonderful, creative, helpful spirit. She's someone who wanted to help others by sharing her emotion. That's what I do, too, so I think that's a great comparison.\nI grew up in the 1950s and '60s, when it was almost a holiday when a black act would go on Ed Sullivan.\nApril in Paris, chestnuts in blossom, holiday tables under the trees.\nThe proper behavior all through the holiday season is to be drunk. This drunkenness culminates on New Year's Eve, when you get so drunk you kiss the person you're married to.\nI was trying to do Billie Holiday, because she was the voice to be heard at that time.\nI do not read SF as much as I used to. It's too much like a busman's holiday.\nWal-Mart doesn't really care about your faith. Wal-Mart cares if you have money to spend, and it is going to be as generic as possible in exploiting the holiday season for every buck it can make.",

        "raw_content": "Amadou Diallo\u2013He was shot 41 times.\nThe 4th of February makes the 20th year that Amadou Diallo was shot and he became a victim of injustice and police brutality.\nI ought to have shared this piece but due to the clash of yesterday being \u201cWorld Cancer Day\u201d, I have to postponed this article till today.\nAnywhere, no matter how it is, it is important that this culled article is presented to all my viewers, followers and readers at this moment.\nWHO IS AMADOU DIALLO?\nOne of four children of Saikou and Kadijatou Diallo, Amadou\u2019s family is part of an old Fulbe trading family in Guinea. He was born in Sinoe County, Liberia, on September 2, 1975 while his father was working there, and grew up following his family to Togo, Bangkok and Singapore, attending schools in Thailand, and later in Guinea. In September 1996, he came to New York City where other family members had immigrated. He and a cousin started a business. According to his family\u2019s lawyer, Kyle B. Watters, he sought to remain in the United States by filing an application for political asylum under false pretenses, saying that he was from Mauritania and that his parents had been killed in fighting to buttress his claim that he had credible fear of going back to his country. He worked as a street peddler, selling videotapes, gloves and socks from the sidewalk along 14th Street during the day.\nEVENT OF FEBRUARY 4TH 1999\nThe shooting of Amadou Diallo occurred on February 4, 1999, when Amadou Diallo, a 23-year-old immigrant from Guinea, was shot and killed by four New York City Police Department plain-clothed officers\u2014Sean Carroll, Richard Murphy, Edward McMellon and Kenneth Boss\u2014after they mistook him for a rape suspect from one year earlier. The officers fired a combined total of 41 shots, 19 of which struck Diallo, outside his apartment at 1157 Wheeler Avenue in the Soundview section of The Bronx. The four were part of the now-defunct Street Crimes Unit. All four officers were charged with second-degree murder and acquitted at trial in Albany, New York.\nDiallo was unarmed, and a firestorm of controversy erupted subsequent to the event as the circumstances of the shooting prompted outrage both within and outside New York City. Issues such as police brutality, racial profiling, and contagious shooting were central to the ensuing controversy\nIn the early morning of February 4, 1999, Diallo was standing near his building after returning from a meal. At about 12:40 a.m., police officers Edward McMellon, Sean Carroll, Kenneth Boss and Richard Murphy, who were all in street clothes, passed by in a Ford Taurus. Caroll later testified that Diallo matched the general description of a serial rapist who had struck a year earlier, or that he might have been a \u201clookout\u201d.\nThe officers testified that they loudly identified themselves as NYPD officers, but a witness, Schrrie Elliott, testified that they started shooting without any warnings. Diallo ran up the outside steps toward his apartment house doorway at their approach, ignoring their orders to stop and \u201cshow his hands\u201d. The porch lightbulb was out and Diallo was backlit by the inside vestibule light, showing only a silhouette. Diallo then reached into his jacket and withdrew his wallet. Seeing the man holding a small square object, Carroll yelled \u201cGun!\u201d to alert his colleagues. The officers opened fire on Diallo, claiming that they believed he was holding a gun. During the shooting, lead officer McMellon tripped backward off the front stairs, causing the other officers to believe he had been shot. The four officers fired 41 shots with semi-automatic weapons,[9] more than half of which went astray as Diallo was hit 19 times.\nThe post-shooting investigation found no weapons on Diallo\u2019s body; the item he had pulled out of his jacket was not a gun, but a rectangular black wallet. The internal NYPD investigation ruled the officers had acted within policy, based on what a reasonable police officer would have done in the same circumstances with the information they had. The Diallo shooting led to a review of police training policy and the use of full metal jacket (FMJ) bullets. On March 25, 1999, a Bronx grand jury indicted the four officers on charges of second-degree murder and reckless endangerment. All four officers\u2019 bail were set at $100,000. On December 16, an appellate court ordered a change of venue to Albany, New York, stating that pretrial publicity had made a fair trial in New York City impossible. On February 25, 2000, after two days of deliberation, a jury in Albany acquitted the officers of all charges. Officer Kenneth Boss had been previously involved in an incident where an unarmed man was shot. Another black man, 22-year-old Patrick Bailey, died after Boss shot him on October 31, 1997.As of 2012, Boss is the only remaining officer working for the NYPD. After his acquittal, Boss was disarmed and reassigned to desk duty. In October 2012, Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly restored Boss\u2019 ability to carry a firearm against the protests of Diallo\u2019s family. On December 17, 2015, Kenneth Boss, received a promotion to the rank of sergeant despite objections from the victim\u2019s mother and civil rights activists. Boss was promoted in accordance to police policy, which is not subject to review by top department officials.\nAFTERMATH OF HIS DEATH\nOn April 18, 2000, Diallo\u2019s mother, Kadijatou, and his father Saikou Diallo, filed a US$61,000,000 ($20m plus $1m for each shot fired) lawsuit against the city and the officers, charging gross negligence, wrongful death, racial profiling, and other violations of Diallo\u2019s civil rights. In March 2004, they accepted a US$3,000,000 settlement. The much lower final settlement was still reportedly one of the largest in the City of New York for a single man with no dependents under New York State\u2019s \u201cwrongful death law\u201d, which limits damages to pecuniary loss by the deceased person\u2019s next of kin.\nAnthony H. Gair, lead counsel for the Diallo family, argued that Federal common law should apply, pursuant to Section 1983 of the Civil Rights Act. In April 2002, as a result of the killing of Diallo and other controversial actions, the Street Crime Unit was disbanded. In 2003, Diallo\u2019s mother, Kadiatou Diallo, published a memoir, My Heart Will Cross This Ocean: My Story, My Son, Amadou (ISBN 0-345-45600-9), with the help of author Craig Wolff. Diallo\u2019s death became an issue in the 2005 mayoral election in New York City. Bronx borough president and mayoral candidate Fernando Ferrer, who had protested the circumstances of the killing at the time, later told a meeting of police sergeants that although the shooting had certainly been a tragedy, there was subsequently a move to \u201cover-indict\u201d the officers involved, which led to criticism of Ferrer by the Diallo family and many others following the case.\nThe event spurred subsequent social psychology research. A number of experiments have been conducted with both undergraduate volunteers and police officers playing a computer game where they must choose whether to shoot or not to shoot a target who may be white or black, on the basis of whether or not they are armed. Such studies find that participants made slower and less accurate decisions on whether to shoot an unarmed black target than an unarmed white target, and were quicker and more likely to correctly decide to shoot an armed black target than an armed white target. The authors of one study wrote that the shooting studies \u201cprovide powerful evidence that racial stereotypes create associations and expectations that play a role in the sort of split-second decisions that may literally be a matter of life or death.\u201d However, no correlations have been found between participants\u2019 indicated levels of racial bias, and their performance in the games.\nOn March 13, 2015, Capital New York and other news organizations reported that 50 of the 15,000 IP addresses belonging to the NYPD were associated with edits, dating back to 2006, to English Wikipedia articles, including this article on the Amadou Diallo shooting. These IP addresses geolocate to NYPD headquarters at 1 Police Plaza. Detective Cheryl Crispin, a NYPD spokeswoman, said that \u201cthe matter is under internal review.\u201d\nAmadou Diallo is buried in the village of Hollande Bourou in the Fouta Djallon region of Guinea, West Africa, where his extended family resides.\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Amadou_Diallo\n5 Feb 2019 Amadou Diallo, Shooting\nPrevious Previous post: 12 perish in Ogun auto crash\nNext Next post: Salah wins PFA Player of the Month for January",

My friend, who led our Bible study using this book, also had high hopes, considering the author\u2019s husband is an Old Testament scholar. There were some quality insights sprinkled in each chapter, but not enough to be worthwhile for a semester of studying. If I wanted to do a quick study of Ruth on my own, this may be helpful, but my friend is struggling to get our discussions of the material to last longer than 15 minutes . Not exactly a winner for a study that typically lasts 90 minutes.\nI have not read any other books by Liz Curtis Higgs, so I can\u2019t speak to the quality of those titles.",

Apart from been the CEO of hotels. ng, he is an entrepreneur, software developer, motivational speaker, role model for young entrepreneurs and a start-up investor.\nMark Essiens was born in Ikot Ekpene, Akwa Ibom state, Nigeria on 18th of December, 1980. He attended Monika kindergarten and Federal Government college secondary school all in Ikot Ekpene. At the age of 18, he completed his secondary school and was sent to Germany to study engineering.\nMark graduated from Beuth University, Berlin with a Bachelor\u2019s Degree in computer engineering (Hardware, Robotics). He also did his MSc. at Freie University Berlin in computer science also in Germany.\nAccording to Mark in an interview with Premium times, during his teenage years, he spent most of his free time in public library in Ikot Ekpene, Akwa Ibom state. Like it is said, \u201cReaders are Leaders\u201d. Apart from being a reader, he was a good observer. He observes very well and ask lots of questions coupled with the fact that Google was yet common as at the time he was growing up.\nThanks to his father who understood the potentials of his son and guided him through his career. Parents, guardians and teachers have a role to play in the life of our growing teenagers and youths they find around them (especially those who ask too many questions). Always give attention to that child that seeks attention, give the right answers to every question they ask you intending to know about a subject. Break it down to the simplest form using the right names. These answers are registered in their subconscious minds whether right or wrong. They hold it so tight as a belief and work with it.\nAccording to Mark Essien, for him to be admitted into the University in Germany, he had to spend a year doing something related to his A level field. He didn\u2019t pass the compulsory German language test so he added 6 months to his one year making it one and a half-year. During this period, he started as a ticket tearer in a cinema, he worked in the cinema for 2 months after which he took up a night shift taking care of a paralyzed man.\nAlthough he was familiar with coding skills in Visual basic, he used that period to practice more and learnt programming. He built applications for the then Nascent Apple App store. He also built a file sharing software called Gnumm which was acquired by snoopstar. com but was later shut down and a language learning start-up called Ingolingo.\nMark finally joined the University. When he resumed, they were building same kind of software in C++. He was given two weeks to meet up with the class using a book given to him by his boss. Those period seems like a work experience for him and he became advanced in programming knowledge.\nIn the course of his study, he started looking for a technological company that he could build and make it work in Nigeria. Mark became interested in technology space. He did a market survey in Nigeria and found out that travel/tourism technology online is lacking in Nigeria compared to other countries like South America, Brazil, India and Asians which already has hotel booking agencies. With this, he came back to Nigeria after graduating from the University, he created the first version of Hotel.ng. It consists of a list of hotels at that time in Nigeria and as days goes by, he built it into business.\n\u201cFor you to do anything that will actually be successful, you cannot have preconceptions. You must be flexible\u201d these were the words that kept him going. He wrote this on his blog post and repeats it to himself everyday. He believes that for you to be successful, you have to find out what will work and make it work. According to Mark, switching your mentality from a certain sense of enlightenment can bring you out of the crowd.\nInitial Personal Sacrifice\nIn 2013, Mark launched the listing of hotels on his website. This recorded a huge number of people who were interested, hence, his hypothesis was confirmed. He continued updating the website using manual, he hires people who go to every place where there is a hotel, take pictures of the hotels and upload them. Although it requires hard work to do this across Africa but according to Mark, it was worth the effort. Mark hired lots of contract workers who made up the field agents: they take pictures and do some write-up. He pays them on a performance basis.\nAfter the launch of Hotel.ng, Mark published articles that caught the attention of the founder of Iroko TV, Jason Njoku who also runs a start-up fund called Spark. ng and was looking for a good internet business to invest in. Jason Njoku through Spark.ng, made a first investment of $75,000 in Hotel.ng. Few months later, he made another investment of $150,000 which enabled Hotel.ng to grow and expand its hotel listings.\nMark partnered with friends too and they started taking more photographs of hotels and signing agreement with as many of the hotels.\nHotel.ng continued to grow and attract more investors even from Dangote Investment group which supports building entrepreneurs in Nigeria and invested $10 million in Hotel.ng.\nIt also received $1.2 million investment from the founder of eBay, Pierre Omidyar network and from EchoVc Pan Africa fund on 26th May, 2015 and was expected to be used to expand hotels. ng across Africa starting with Ghana. This was as a result of the profit, $40,000 in monthly revenue announced in 2014.\nHotel.ng launched Hotel.africa and fly. africa as an expansion and working towards their goal of becoming the defacto system for travel and hospitality in Africa and increasing hotels inventory on hotel.africa from 25,000 to 100,000 within the next four years.\nToday, Hotels. ng has become the largest website for booking hotels in Nigeria with about 80 employees. It has over 7,138 hotels in its list and its operation spread across 320 cities in Nigeria and over a million hotel searches to date.\nTwitter profile is one of Mark\u2019s marketing assets where he has 33.8k followers and his personal website which serves as his blog.\nIn 2015, Mark Essien was listed among the 30 youngest entrepreneurs in Africa by Forbes. He was reported to be profitable in just two years after it started operation. Mark serves as a director on the board of Ogavenue.\nAs a motivational speaker, Mark frequently deliver talks on leveraging networks to build a business, how Africa can lead in the global technology space at TedXEuston and TesXGhaganda.\nMark is also a lover of the environment, an environmentalist. Hotel.ng has a corporate Social Responsibility Portfolio where it educate the public about Nigeria\u2019s flora and fauna, it\u2019s aesthetic and the potentials it holds. He talks of the endangered species and disappearing ecosystems and how to mitigate the effects. He also embarks on social campaigns.\nMark launched #ThisYearIMustVisit# a campaign that talks of the less known tourist sites in Nigeria and #RestoreOurCampaign# where he tried to rehabilitate iconic landmarks in Nigeria in January 2016. According to Mark, the death of Jos Lion prompted the campaign about Africa\u2019s diminishing flora and fauna population.\nRead Also: How Jim Ovia Built One of Africa's Largest Banks\nThe story of Mark Essien is a true motivation to the youth. Find something you are good at and make a success of it, no matter how insignificant it might be. Keep working on it everyday until you succeed. If you don\u2019t give up or get discouraged, with time, your efforts will pay off and you will soon become someone whom the world will reckon with because you provided something valuable to people.\nWhy not wake up today and activate the creative powers within you? Begin to look for something that needs to be improved, start thinking of how to make life more easier, how to save more time and money in doing the things we do and how to do things more conveniently and faster. It is good to think about developing something that has never existed, but is easier to start from that improving the things that are already in existence.\n\u201cThe focus for Nigeria and Nigerians should be on producing and building right now\u201d- Mark Essien.\n\u201cMarket is everything. Pick the right market. If you are in a bad market, nothing will save you\u201d-Mark Essien.\nHotels.ngJason NjokuMark EssienNigeria's largest online hotel booking company\nPrevious Post:See The Guidelines For Registering Your Business Name With The Corporate Affairs Commission Of Nigeria\nNext Post:Latest Trends Which Can Grow Your Business And Improve Your Income",

        "title": "FAQs | My Life With John Steinbeck",
        "raw_content": "My Life with John Steinbeck - Frequently Asked Questions\nAn interview with Bruce Lawson, Editor Lawson Publishing Ltd about Gwyn Steinbeck and her memoir: My Life with John Steinbeck\nHow did this journal end up in Wales?\nA friend of mine John Brown, who lives near me in Montgomery Powys, told me he had a script written by his brother Douglas Brown, former editor of the Palm Springs newspaper, The Desert Sun, which had never been published. Douglas Brown had bequeathed it to his daughter Candace, who in turn gave it to her uncle John.\nBecause I had self-published a successful biography of Charles Rolls of Rolls-Royce, pioneer motorist, road racer and early aviator who co-founded Rolls-Royce (ISBN: 978-1-909644-39-7), John Brown enquired as to whether we could get Douglas\u2019 story published.\nWhy is Gwyn called \u201cThe Forgotten Wife\u201d?\nThis theme developed over the two years that I have researched the project. In the standard introduction to any of Steinbeck\u2019s books, there is no mention whatsoever of Gwyn Conger Steinbeck, his second wife, though his first wife Carol is mentioned, as is his last wife Elaine. Gwyn was with him for eight years, during which time he produced some of his best work, and was mother to his only two children, Thom and John Jnr. It seemed unfair that she has been air-brushed out of Steinbeck history.\nHow did the Steinbeck community react to the discovery of the material?\nScholars in America who were advised of our project, reacted by saying \u201cwe wish we had known about this information before.\u201d One is Jay Parini who did a substantial biography in 1994, nineteen years after Gwyn had died entitled John Steinbeck \u2013 A Biography. He always thought he couldn\u2019t get a \u201cfair take\u201d on what Gwyn was like and was interested that this gap material turned up.\nWhat do you think is especially valuable about Brown\u2019s book?\nIt\u2019s important in understanding Steinbeck. During her time with him, she bore him two children. He wrote several of his major works: The Forgotten Village, The Sea of Cortez, his wartime book Bombs Away, The Moon is Down, Cannery Row, The Wayward Bus and The Pearl. She was with him when he left to go to Russia for the book that became A Russian Journal. Also, during their time together he formulated his second \u201cbig book\u201d, the blockbuster East of Eden which later became a film that launched James Dean.\nWhat was Gwyn doing when she met John Steinbeck?\nLured by the glamour and possibility of getting a film part, Gwyn first encountered Steinbeck in Hollywood. She was a tall beautiful girl and she could sing. Her mother who encouraged her, had been a music teacher and a talented musician. Gwyn acted as a film extra, sang in clubs, on the radio, and worked as a waitress-anything to make ends meet.\nSteinbeck was married but it seemed not to be an issue for her. Was this because of the kind of aura that surrounds famous men?\nIt was an issue. They dated for a while then parted. Months later, Steinbeck heard her singing on the radio and contacted her again.\nSteinbeck was married but his first marriage was crumbling, particularly in the aftermath of the publication of The Grapes of Wrath in April 1939. He couldn\u2019t handle the fame of meeting famous people and all the money the book generated. The Grapes of Wrath sold over 400,000 copies in 1939. Film rights were then sold and a movie ensued with Henry Fonda in the lead directed by John Ford.\nI think that Gwyn was first attracted to him because she was intelligent and realised that he was a fascinating and wealthy man. He was drawn to her, because she didn\u2019t argue with him and was young, smart and gorgeous.\nWho were some of the important people in their life together?\nOne was Ed Ricketts, marine biologist, a lifelong inspiration to Steinbeck and at the centre of their social life when they were in Monterey, although by the time Gwyn was involved, they spent a lot of time in New York. A close friend was Burgess Meredith, a well-known star from his title role in the film G.I Joe, and many years later in the Batman and the Rocky films but who had had a very long and distinguished career on the stage. Gwyn also met Ernest Hemingway, photographer Bob Capa, Charlie Chaplin, Henry Fonda, Nat Benchley, Paulette Goddard, writer John O\u2019Hara, composer Frank Loesser (who wrote the musical Oklahoma), and artist Diego Rivera whom she met when in Mexico.\nWhy did they move so often to Mexico, New York, San Francisco, Monterey?\nSteinbeck was a manic personality. When he was involved in a book, he was in a world of his own. When a project was over, he wanted to move onto the next one. Early in his career, he thought Californians didn\u2019t like him because of his left-wing leanings in his books Dubious Battle and The Grapes of Wrath. His take on the plight of the Okies was indeed supported by the wife of President Roosevelt, Eleanor Roosevelt.\nWhen he was well away from the controversy in New York, Steinbeck didn\u2019t like the climate so he would return to California \u2013 where they didn\u2019t seem to value writers as much. From time to time, he would escape to Mexico. The packing up and moving so often wore Gwyn out; as her health was never robust and she had two small children.\nDid she view these migrations as essential for his work?\nNo, apart from the trips to Mexico, to Russia with Robert Capa and later to Norway to receive a decoration in connection with the book The Moon is Down. Later in their marriage, she felt he wanted to escape from her, his children and parental responsibilities. I also think he had a roving eye all his life, until he settled down with his third wife, who was mature enough to handle him (and he could not afford another divorce!)\nWhat happened to Gwyn when Steinbeck went into the army?\nHe didn\u2019t go into the army. He arranged to get into the action as a war correspondent and spoke to Mrs Ogden Reid, owner of the New York Tribune, who got him a passport. He hadn\u2019t had one for years as he was disliked by some authorities in New York because of his left-wing leanings which came out in some books. He managed however to disappear into the European \u201cTheatre of War\u201d within weeks of their marriage, against his new wife\u2019s wishes. Understandably, Gwyn as his new bride, was concerned that he might be killed or wounded. He was slightly injured, which made him grumpy for some time on his return. In her opinion, however successful he was, it was unnecessary and selfish.\nHow did her views of their life together eventually change over time?\nI think that Gwyn was worn out. They got on very well in the physical sense, but Steinbeck was not the most considerate person! Also, having established the fact that he could father a child, he was disinterested in having another and indeed largely ignored his second son. Gwyn says in her script, on at least two occasions, he asked her to have an abortion. This pattern had occurred in his first marriage where Carol apparently agreed not to have children, so that it would not get in the way of his writing. This attitude carried over into his second marriage.\nDid she give up important things to be with him?\nGwyn, a talented singer, was on the national radio at the San Francisco Exposition of 1939. Years later, when he bought her a Hammond organ, she wrote some songs and had them put on a demo disk. Steinbeck was furious: he didn\u2019t like her taking any of his limelight and forbade her to further her musical career. In their house, it appears that there was only one view and that was his.\nGwyn says she was so in love with him, she forgot to take care of herself. And that he was a person \u201cin love with love.\u201d Was this why she asked for a divorce?\nI think it was a cumulative situation for her, as later on in their marriage she did not enjoy robust health. Gwyn had two difficult pregnancies, two Caesarean deliveries, about which he was unsympathetic and in today\u2019s climate, wholly unreasonable. There can come a point in a relationship, where the pros and cons become out of balance, and I think by 1948 she realised he would never change. Gwyn wanted a better life of her own and decided to divorce him, which she later regretted. She was just 31. She probably then missed the excitement and the financial security. Gwyn never remarried and a contributing factor may have been her alcoholism (her alcohol mis-use is referenced in The Other Side of Eden by John Steinbeck Jnr). Her single status made Steinbeck very cross, because he was forced to support her from 1949 until he died in 1968, some nineteen years later.\nWould you say Steinbeck fits the stereotype of men of his era, who famous or not, believed they had the prerogative to behave as they liked, while women existed to serve?\nStraight answer \u2013 yes. Steinbeck was greatly influenced by marine biologist Ed Ricketts. Their relationship was so close, his first wife thought their relationship was, to use Princess Diana\u2019s phrase \u201cmore than a bit crowded\u201d. Ricketts was wholly amoral, and although Steinbeck was from a church-going background, he seemed to become more promiscuous as he got older. He had the wherewithal to attract women, not just with his money and influence but his intellect. After Gwyn left him he had an affair with actress Paulette Goddard, the former wife of Steinbeck\u2019s close friend Burgess Meredith.\nThe \u201cMe Too\u201d movement has been exported to countries around the world. Do you think men and women now view themselves and their roles differently?\nYes. As someone who was born in 1946, attitudes of men to women (and vice versa!) have changed dramatically over the last 50 years. Anyone who hasn\u2019t adjusted their take on relationships is somewhat foolish and out of touch. I have been married twice and feel that I didn\u2019t treat my first wife as well as I could have. I had learned a lot by the time I came into my second relationship, almost twenty years ago. I hope that women don\u2019t overplay their hand, because otherwise a lot of fun will be lost because of too much suspicion between the sexes \u2013 albeit this is somewhat justified, if continuing revelations are to be believed.\nFantasy plays a role in Gwyn\u2019s life with Steinbeck, but her inherent honesty gives a fascinating look at the demands of what we call genius and the psyche of the gifted muse. Perhaps her thwarted talents contributed to her alcoholism later in life?\nI am not sure about this. Steinbeck worked very hard when he was working. He didn\u2019t drink until the end of the day, or on holiday between books. A writer\u2019s life is often abnormal: it is so intense that when a particular project ends, the opportunity to relax and unwind is only natural. People in the creative industries do work hard and play even harder. Gwyn got caught up in this, but eventually she realised that Steinbeck just wanted a courtesan, housekeeper and nanny. He didn\u2019t want her to be anything else. She was not allowed to express herself and this did exacerbate her drinking which together with her asthmatic tendencies, left her less robust than Steinbeck wanted.\nWould you say Gwyn\u2019s book is the missing lynchpin in the portrait of Steinbeck, writer, man, friend, husband and father?\nYes. The genius that was Steinbeck, mellowed by age and experience, eventually found someone who would have been an equal partner, but firm with him, when he married Texan, Elaine. She sought to maintain his persona that he was a country boy, who had made good through sheer hard work. Steinbeck was spoiled by his sisters and his parents, being the only boy in the house. He was for a long time supported financially by his father, for five years between 1930 and 1935. He received an allowance of $50 per month equivalent to $700 today.\nThe biographies of Steinbeck by Jackson Benson in 1984 and Jay Parini in 1994, were written with the cooperation of Elaine Steinbeck who thought there would never be a challenge to her version of Steinbeck\u2019s life and his relationship with Gwyn as known. This was because Gwyn had died in 1975. There is a certain irony that the script has turned up after forty years, which tells of the interaction between Carol and Gwyn, the second wife, and is to quote Jay Parini \u201ca genuinely important literary discovery.\u201d\nIt also describes Steinbeck\u2019s boorish behaviour with his family and frenetic wartime days in America.\nThe book fills a huge gap. It is only fair Gwyn gets a chance to tell her side of the story about her relationship with one of the greatest writers in 20th century America. Very much a missing lynchpin.\nContact: Susan Weinstein PR\n001-212-645-4969/ swpubrel@aol.com",

        "raw_content": "SU drama students put on new production, House of Spirits\nBy Saniya More SYRACUSE, N.Y. (NCC News) \u2014The Department of Drama at Syracuse University unveiled its new production, House of Spirits, earlier this week.\nThe production is based on the Spanish novel by Isabel Allende, which was later turned into a play by Caridad Svich.\nThe show contains a great deal of violence, but Celia Madeoy, an associate professor at SU and director of the production, says this is essential to its plot.\n\u201cWe have to go there,\u201d Madeoy said near the Storch Theatre, where the production is running. \u201cIt\u2019s what the playwright has asked for. We\u2019re the guardians of her words as actors.\u201d\nAccording to Madeoy, the production\u2019s technical aspects make it a must-see for everyone. One of these aspects is the use of projections, which project characters on stage for a haunting effect. This sophisticated use of technology helps to create a specific ambiance for the production, she said.\n\u201cIt\u2019s a really harrowing play. It\u2019s like falling into the ocean,\u201d Madeoy said. \u201cThis play has to span 50 years in the past and in the future. We needed to be able to move in and out of time.\u201d\nThe show addresses various social issues, including gun violence, sexual assault, and domestic abuse. Kristen Misthopoulous, a SU senior acting major, plays Ferula, one of the lead characters. Misthopoulous says keeping up the energy of her character has been her biggest challenge, especially because the projections make the play all the more real.\n\u201cThings that were already pretty vivid somehow became more vivid, and as an actor, having to do that night after night after night, I mean you walk off the stage emotionally, physically and mentally exhausted,\u201d she said.\nMisthopoulous says she hopes people start considering the various social issues the play explores.\n\u201cI want people to walk away, feeling not so overstimulated that they feel like they can\u2019t do anything about these issues, but rather to feel like like they can go home and just start a dialogue,\u201d she said.\nHouse of Spirits will continue running throughout this week at the Storch Theatre, with their final show on Saturday.",

        "title": "P2P money - cheaper lending and borrowing without banks!",
        "raw_content": "P2P money - cheaper lending and borrowing without banks!\nApril 2, 2005 Disintermediation is a term you\u2019ll no doubt have heard and will certainly be hearing a lot more in the future. It means \u201cto remove the middle man\u201d, and it\u2019s something the internet is incredibly good at. With close to a billion people connecting to the internet in the last decade, and computer-mediated anything just a few minutes of Googling away, radical new ideas can promulgate very quickly. And here\u2019s one you\u2019re gonna love \u2026 think of it as P2P money. Zopa hooks up creditworthy people who want to borrow money with people who are happy to lend it to them. And because there's no middleman (e.g. bank), the borrower just pays a 1% exchange fee upfront. Without the greed and inefficiency of a financial institutuion, both borrower and lender get a better deal than they would otherwise.\nFor borrowers, the money is cheaper. For lenders, there are no fees, better returns and the facility to manage the risk and seek even higher returns.\nIf there were a popularity poll for organizations, banks and most other financial institutions would rate towards the bottom of the list, somewhere between monopoly Telcos and the Royal Institute of Executioners \u2013 which is why we think Zopa\u2019s new angle on democratising the lending of money makes so much sense and will garner such a favourable reaction from so many people.\nWhen you lend money through Zopa, there are no charges \u2013 the only fee Zopa takes is 1% from the borrower. That means that as a lender, you\u2019ll get a consistently higher interest rate than you could get elsewhere. You can also choose what level of risk you\u2019re prepared to take, with an interest rate that reflects the risk.\nBorrowers are assessed by Zopa into different markets based on their credit rating and lenders can choose which market they will lend into and what level of risk they\u2019re prepared to accept and the rates are higher in the markets for borrowers with lesser credit ratings. Borrowing is not the harrowing task it is at a bank though \u2013 and apart from the 1% fee, there are no other fees whatsoever. There are no penalties for paying off a loan early and the entire scheme seems so very sensible, you\u2019d think someone would have done it sooner.\nWhy didn\u2019t someone think of this sooner?\nThey did! It\u2019s the same principle as micro-lending schemes that have been operating in Africa, Asia and Latin America where families, neighbours and friends lend amongst themselves to the benefit of the community. Without the frictional losses caused by greed or inefficient institutions, and with trust as one of the key elements, these schemes work wonderfully well.\nAs Zopa puts it, \u201cThe growth of the internet, the advance of verification and credit scoring technology, and changing attitudes to corporate institutions have combined to mean this method of lending and borrowing is now viable for everyone.\u201d\nZOPA stands for Zone of Possible Agreement, a business term for the area of fertile ground between negotiating parties \u2013 it\u2019s the overlap between what negotiating parties will accept \u2013 for example, what one party is prepared to sell for and what the other party is prepared to pay.\nAs your MBA textbooks will tell you, if there\u2019s no ZOPA, there\u2019s no deal and accordingly, it\u2019s a very clever name for this new service and it perfectly describes what it does \u2013 like the Zopa logo which incorporates two intersecting circles, ZOPA has created a broader, more succulent ZOPA for both parties.\nCurrently, you can only borrow from Zopa if you are a UK resident but the scheme seems to have caught the imagination of the UK populace and other countries are likely to follow. Zopa is a private company \u2013 you can\u2019t buy shares.\nThe Zopa web site is well written and easy to follow \u2026 www.zopa.com\nWe particularly liked the thoughts of some of the world\u2019s free thinkers about Zopa.\n#Disintermediation",

        "raw_content": "Mitt Romney won\u2019t be calling Donald Trump a \u201cphony\u201d and a \u201cfraud\u201d any time soon.\nOn Friday morning, Romney made it official: He\u2019s running to replace Orrin Hatch as Utah\u2019s senator.\nI am running for United States Senate to serve the people of Utah and bring Utah's values to Washington. pic.twitter.com/TDkas6gD2p\nRomney\u2019s biggest weakness is that he\u2019s not really from Utah. He grew up in Michigan, and while he did attend Brigham Young University in Provo, he spent most of his professional life in Massachusetts, where he served as governor from 2003-2007.\nThe state\u2019s GOP chairman blasted Romney on these grounds, saying on Thursday that Romney is \u201cessentially doing what Hillary Clinton did in New York\u201d when she ran for Senate in 2000. \u201cI think he\u2019s keeping out candidates that I think would be a better fit for Utah because, let\u2019s face it, Mitt Romney doesn\u2019t live here, his kids weren\u2019t born here, he doesn\u2019t shop here.\u201d The two-minute video accompanying Romney\u2019s announcement makes it clear that his campaign takes that weakness seriously: The words \u201cUtah\u201d and \u201cUtahans\u201d appear a dozen times, and it focuses on Romney\u2019s work as CEO of the organizing committee for the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.\nBut there is still a national message in the ad, and in Romney\u2019s campaign. \u201cI think it will be very much a Utah-centric campaign,\u201d longtime Romney ally Derek Miller told The Atlantic\u2019s McKay Coppins. \u201c[Romney] wants the country to look at Utah as an example. Why are things going so well here? \u2026 What lessons are there to learn, and how do you take them back to the nation\u2019s capital?\u201d In the ad, Romney uses Utah as a model for the country: The people are decent, hard-working, and frugal.\nThis is being held up as a subtle, anti-Trump message: Instead of attacking Trump, as he did during the 2016 election, Romney is embracing an implicit critique by standing up for a different kind of conservatism. But it\u2019s also an acknowledgment that Romney\u2019s critiques of Trump (and his overtures to him) have failed. Romney hasn\u2019t been able to influence the president or his party, so he\u2019s going to try to ignore Trump and run a conventional Senate campaign. The question is whether he\u2019ll also be a conventional Republican senator\u2014which is to say, obeisant to Trump.",

        "raw_content": "Home World EU To Test AI Lie Detectors At Border Points\nLie detectors that are equipped with artificial intelligence are set to be tested at border points across Europe as part of a project that was funded by the European Union. It aims to combat terrorism and crime.\nThe travellers will be requested to upload pictures of their visa, passport, and proof of funds. It will then use a webcam to answer some questions such as \u201cwhat is in your suitcase\u201d from a border guard that will be computer-animated computer-animated.\nThe project is worth \u20ac4.5 million. It will be called iBorderCtrl and will be tested at the borders of Latvia, Greece, and Hungary for a period of six months. The aim of the project is to speed up the traffic at the external borders of the European Union.\nSpain, Germany, Cyprus, Poland, and the United Kingdom are also planning to participate in the said project after the initial trials.\nThe technology is marketed as having a \u201cunique approach to deception detection, analysing the micro-expressions of travellers to figure out if the interviewee is lying.\u201d\nThe travellers who are considered to be of low risk during the pre-screening stage will go through a short re-evaluation of their details for entry, while higher-risk passengers will be undergoing a more detailed check.\nAccording to an early testing, the system is approximately 76 percent accurate, however, the iBorderCtrl team say that they are confident they can improve this to 85 percent.\nThe AI technology will still be supported by human border officials, who will be using hand-held devices in order to automatically cross-check the information. The will also be comparing the facial images that were captured during the pre-screening stage to photos and passports that were taken on previous border crossings.\nThe project coordinator of European Dynamics in Luxembourg, George Boultadakis, informed the European Commission: \u201cWe\u2019re employing existing and proven technologies \u2013 as well as novel ones \u2013 to empower border agents to increase the accuracy and efficiency of border checks.\u201d\nEarlier in 2018, the Government announced its plans to step up the facial recognition technology at British borders. Police, immigration and passport control departments presented a proposal of creating a central system to upload and share fingerprint, DNA, photograph and even potentially voice information in order to cross-check for visa applications or while solving crimes.\neu border checks\nPrevious articleHouse Prices In The UK Increase At Slowest Pace In Five Years\nNext articleRyanair\u2019s Plans To Close Eindhoven Base Blocked By Dutch Court\nBanks Set To Go Through \u2018Cyber Stress Tests\u2019\nShares Of Thomas Cook Continue To Drop\nUK willing to pay up to 40B euros to leave EU",

        "raw_content": "You are at:Home\u00bbFordham Lawyer\u00bbA New Kind of Prosecution\nDana Kai-el McBeth\nBy\tNate Svogun on\t November 12, 2018 Fordham Lawyer, Law School News, News, Public Interest and Service, Students\n3L Stein Scholar Dana Kai-el McBeth appeared in a recent New Yorker article for two questions she posed to Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner at a Fordham Law event. The magazine also mentioned the on-the-spot job interview McBeth had immediately following the event with Krasner, who was impressed by the depth of her queries. But the New Yorker piece only tells part of McBeth\u2019s story.\nMcBeth has a background in public defense; during her 2L year she held externships with the Bronx Defenders in its reentry and community outreach department, and with the Legal Aid Society\u2019s criminal appeals bureau. This past summer, she secured an internship with the highly competitive Equal Justice Initiative and currently serves as co-president of the Fordham Law student group Advocates for the Incarcerated.\nThese experiences made her a perfect fit for Krasner\u2019s team\u2014a DA\u2019s office that has been at the forefront of a burgeoning national trend of embracing more progressive methods of prosecution. Krasner, McBeth noted, is \u201cdefinitely interested in the more defense-minded attorneys. He\u2019s looking for lawyers who are seeking actual justice and not just convictions.\u201d\nMcBeth came to Krasner\u2019s talk at Fordham Law with a healthy dose of skepticism. \u201cI wanted to challenge this person who was being presented as one of the most progressive DAs in the country,\u201d she said. While she had prepared five questions for Krasner, she was able to ask only two during the Q&A following his presentation.\nMcBeth\u2019s well-informed questions, on balancing the perspective of victims in prosecuting cases and on Krasner\u2019s plan to address recidivism, made any potential simple answers suspect, so McBeth was optimistic upon hearing Krasner\u2019s thoughtful responses.\nAlthough a job interview was far from McBeth\u2019s mind when she initially asked her two questions, she found herself the subject of one not twenty minutes after the event concluded, in a conference room peopled only with Krasner and two of his colleagues\u2014Nancy Winkelman, head of the law division at the Philadelphia DA\u2019s office, and Robert Listenbee, first assistant DA to Krasner.\n\u201cIt was a very conversational interview,\u201d said McBeth, who was able to ask one of the other questions she had prepared for Krasner. What was expected to be a 15-minute interview turned into a full hour.\nAt one point, Winkelman asked McBeth for her thoughts on the mass Rikers Island bailout that had been reported that day, an organized effort by a team of human rights activists to identify and free female prisoners who could not afford bail. (More than 75 percent of the Rikers population is eventually released without being sentenced to prison.)\n\u201cI\u2019m actually volunteering with that,\u201d McBeth responded.\nMcBeth left the interview with a job offer, which she accepted. \u201cIt was a very informative, challenging, and helpful conversation,\u201d she said. \u201cIt helped me understand his office and his vision more.\u201d\nThe narrative that you typically hear about prosecutors, McBeth continued, \u201cis how they want to go after the \u2018bad guys\u2019 and get justice for the victims. While I understand that narrative, I also understand the narrative that the person who is being accused or convicted of a crime can be a victim too. So how do you balance two victims?\u201d\nAddressing the root causes of recidivism is especially important for McBeth. Recidivism is highest among adults aged 18 to 21, and poverty and lack of education often play a large role. McBeth remarked that scientific studies have shown the human brain is not finished developing until around age 25.\nWorking in Krasner\u2019s office, McBeth hopes to learn a lot from her colleagues.

Other Yemenis who returned to their homes have often found them damaged or destroyed, UNHCR reported.\nUNHCR said it was providing cash assistance to the most vulnerable families to help meet their immediate needs including life-saving medical treatment.\n\u201cSo far this year, UNHCR has distributed almost $33 million cash assistance. We aim to distribute a total of more than 41 million dollars before the end of the year,\u201d Mahecic stated.\nAt least 10,000 civilians have been killed and millions displaced in Yemen\u2019s three-year-long\ncivil war, which began in 2015 after Shia Houthi rebels backed by Iran seized much of the country, including the capital, Sanaa.

        "raw_content": "Fr. William Fulco was a young Jesuit working on his German language skills when he lived in that divided nation in 1967.\nHe recalls the Berlin Wall \u2014 that notorious symbol of oppression that came to define the Cold War era \u2014 as an omnipresent and \u201cdiabolical\u201d part of everyday life.\nAs an American with a U.S. passport, Fulco \u2014 now a professor of Classics and Archaeology \u2014 was free to travel from West Berlin to East Berlin and back. But he wasn\u2019t able to have any meaningful discussions with the residents of the Soviet-controlled city.\n\u201cWhen I was in East Berlin, I tried to talk to people, and they didn\u2019t want to talk, because they knew I was American,\u201d Fulco said. \u201cIf people were observed in that time speaking to American or British (visitors), then later on they\u2019d very likely be pulled for questioning and harassment. So, they kind of scattered when I came near them.\u201d\nPhotography Professor Diane Meyer went to Berlin on a fellowship in 2012, and found herself entranced by where the wall had once been, and the way that it was still a noticeable presence in some parts of the city, while in others the division had been almost entirely erased.\nShe undertook a project to traverse the entire length of where the wall had been, all 96 miles of it, and take pictures of locations where it had once stood. Then on portions of those printed photographs, she embroidered with different colored threads, creating a look similar to a pixelated image on a computer screen.\n\u201cI wanted to make a trace in the landscape where the wall had been, in a way that you can sort of see what it looks like on the other side,\u201d said Meyer, whose images are part of the current exhibit at LMU\u2019s Laband Gallery. \u201cIt\u2019s kind of a ghost or a tracing of the wall in the landscape.\u201d\nMeanwhile, LMU has its own piece of the wall, which has stood between the Foley Building and Malone Student Center since 1997. Former political science Professor Dirk Verheyen, who now teaches in Berlin, arranged the gift.\nFor today\u2019s students, virtually none of whom were even born when the wall came down on Nov. 9, 1989, the piece of history has varying significance. Several students interviewed for this story said the part of history represented by the wall was so far behind them that they did not see any meaning to its presence on campus.\nThat dovetailed with what Meyer observed in Berlin: that the wall\u2019s ghostly presence meant different things to different people. The memory is stronger for older residents of the city, but in the intervening 25 years, so much has changed that for many the dark era of the Berlin Wall is not even that.\n\u201cFor some people, it\u2019s just a thing that when it came down, people adapted to it not being there, and it\u2019s not something that is thought about that much, which is surprising to us,\u201d she said.\nLMU Center\u2019s Exit Poll Accurately Predicts Results of Three Elections",

A Craftsman home tucked on a small court overlooking a canal exudes European charm. A 1\u00bd-story cottage boasts Tuscan columns. An 18-room stone English manor house recalls a medieval castle.\nLocated on Trenton\u2019s western edge, Cadwalader Heights is the only residential area in New Jersey designed by the renowned landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted. Eleven vintage homes in this notable community will open to the public on September 12 for the neighborhood\u2019s 25th Historic Home and Garden Tour.\nThe self-guided walking tour captures the eclecticism of the neighborhood, with its more than 14 architectural styles. Notable details abound, including slate roofs, half-timbered woodwork, Juliet balconies, vaulted ceilings, sweeping staircases, marble fireplaces and murals. Like the homes, many of their inhabitants, past or present, have a unique story, from the U.S. District Court judge who granted Albert Einstein citizenship, to the local department store tycoon who built a house for his daughter. Right after it was completed, his wake was held there.\nOlmsted, the visionary who created New York City\u2019s Central Park, designed the 16-acre Cadwalader Heights in 1891. He believed that neighborhoods created in harmony with nature would attract diverse residents and promote a strong sense of community. The first of the 73 houses that remain today was completed in 1907. Trenton\u2019s civic leaders, industrialists and foremost educators quickly made Cadwalader Heights their home.\nThe tour will run noon to 5 pm, rain or shine, starting at Cadwalader Asbury United Methodist Church, 900 Stuyvesant Avenue. It includes the Trenton City Museum in Ellarslie Mansion.\nEach tour home will feature food from local restaurants. On-street parking is free. Tickets are $20 in advance at cadwaladerheights.com or $25 on tour day. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the I Am Trenton Community Foundation, which supports organizations that improve Trenton quality of life.\nRead more Jersey Living, Jersey Travel articles.",

        "title": "Surveillance Practices in Switzerland: an Overview | NordVPN",
        "raw_content": "For Swiss people, privacy has been a sensitive topic since the snooping scandal in 1989. When it was revealed that the government had been massively collecting information on citizens suspected for what they called \u201cun-Swiss\u201d behavior, it sparked public resentment. Back then, outraged people went into the streets protesting against this privacy-threatening practice. Paradoxically, 17 years later, Swiss voters have expressed an approval for enhanced powers for intelligence agencies. Let\u2019s take a closer look at what\u2019s happening with privacy in Switzerland.\nThe new law: a surveillance game changer\nStrict privacy laws, being located outside of EU and US jurisdiction and political neutrality are the key things that make Switzerland stand out among other countries in terms of protection of citizens\u2019 privacy. But situation is about to change after this summer, as the new law enhancing the government spying powers comes into force in September.\nUnder the new law, the Federal Intelligence Service (FIS), the intelligence agency of Switzerland, will be granted remarkably greater capabilities than they possess now. The authorities will be allowed to spy on private communications by monitoring emails and Internet traffic, tap phones, hack into citizens\u2019 computers and install malware. Also, the FIS will be able to put spyware, such as surveillance cameras and microphones, to monitor suspects in private locations and even deploy drones.\nBriefly speaking, the new law \u2013 the Nachrichtendienstgesetz (NDG) \u2013 makes the state monitoring way more invasive. Before the introduction of the new law, tapping phones and snooping on emails would have been an impossible case, as it is forbidden regardless of circumstances. However, such snooping practises are set to become investigatory tools.\nWhy Switzerland wants to increase spying powers?\nThe \u201csurveillance\u201d law proposal emerged as a response to the horrifying terror attacks in Paris, Brussels and Nice, which shocked Europe. According to the Swiss government, their intelligence agency was too reliant on help of foreign officials. Also, as for now, the governmental agencies are relying mostly on publicly available data. Due to these limitations, Switzerland\u2019s security services are believed to lack the effectiveness required to ensure domestic security. Therefore, the effort to enhance the spying powers was initiated in order to help Switzerland catch up with the level of other developed countries.\nA thin line between security and massive surveillance\nCombating terrorism, espionage and dissemination of weapons is what the new powers will be used for. According to the authorities, Swiss citizens shouldn\u2019t be concerned about mass spying, as the enhanced monitoring practices will be used for \u201cspecial investigations\u201d only, and they should account for approximately 10 cases per year, according to the estimate.\nIt is important to note that the new surveillance regime does not compare to those strong privacy-diminishing policies seen in the US or UK. Firstly, the major spying on a suspect can only take place if it gets approved by three institutions \u2013 the defence ministry, the cabinet, and the federal court. Secondly, Switzerland chooses to be uniquely transparent: the intelligence agency will be obliged to inform suspects under monitoring of how long and by what means they were spied on.\nDespite of these control measures, a concern arises that the new snooping powers may be abused by invading the privacy of Swiss people. With such extensive spying capabilities granted, there is always a risk of innocent people falling under the magnifying glass for no valid reason.\nSwiss said \u2018yes\u2019 to surveillance\nFrom the very beginning, there seemed to be mixed feelings regarding the legislative changes. The Swiss parliament passed the new law in 2015, but not with absolute approval \u2013 the opposing parties and other privacy advocates weren\u2019t happy about the upcoming monitoring expansion. Switzerland\u2019s system of direct democracy allows to challenge any law with a referendum if 50,000 signatures are collected to force it. And this is exactly what happened with the surveillance law in question \u2013 the Swiss got a chance to decide by themselves whether they want the Federal Intelligence Service to get more powers or not.\nSurprisingly enough, 66.5% Swiss voters have said \u2018yes\u2019 to the new surveillance law. Obviously, this wasn\u2019t what the law opposing parties and privacy activists had expected. The voting results show that the attitudes of the Swiss people towards privacy are changing. Otherwise, how come such a privacy-guarding nation would trade it away so easily? The extremist attacks in the neighboring countries might have played a major role in shifting the public opinion towards tolerance for spying.\nWill the new law truly help to fight terrorism and cyber crimes or it will just invade the Swiss\u2019 privacy and curtail civil liberties? The only way to know if it brings more benefits for domestic security is to wait and see how the new law will be executed.\nIn the light of growing surveillance powers, it is important to take safety measures on your own, no matter if you live in Switzerland or in any other corner of the world. The good way to protect your personal data from both cyber criminals and unwanted snoopers is to use a VPN service whenever you go online. Make sure to choose a VPN service provider that respects your privacy and keeps no logs of your Internet activity, like NordVPN.",

        "title": "Tinkering with Open Space! \u2013 North Star Facilitators",
        "raw_content": "A number of colleagues and I occasionally debate whether it\u2019s ok to modify a well known, well established, outstanding framework. In the course of a recent conversation, a few of us came up with a modification to one of the steps in the Open Space Technology (OST) framework.\nFor me, OST has always been a challenge to both facilitate and be a participant. Yet, there are many good reasons to NOT tinker with tried-and-true tools and frameworks. However, with some nervousness, I am going to propose a change to this framework to make it potentially more inclusive. It may not work for all situations or facilitators. (Notice how hesitant I am with my words here). For me with my usual use of ToP methods \u2013 this change makes it more comfortable because it offers profound respect for everyone\u2019s input and preferred ways to participate. I also think it might get better results. I believe this modification does NOT tinker with the values and principles that are inherent in OST. Read on and see if you agree!\nA full description of OST is included in this blog. This framework typically is used with larger groups (>20) who have emerging agenda items for which they would like input. It\u2019s a wonderful methodology in situations where you cannot predict exactly what the participants\u2019 needs are beforehand. It allows a lot of important subject matter to be discussed by people who are vested in the subject theme. The discomfort I have with using OST primarily comes at the beginning of the \u201cAgenda Setting\u201d step. This is where I\u2019m offering a modification.\nOpen Space modification \u2013 here we come!\nWhy Modify\nAfter the principles and format of OST are made very clear, people are typically asked to come forward and propose a topic on which they want people to work. This is called the \u201cAgenda Setting\u201d step. The number of topics proposed can often be substantial.\nThis is what found in one guide to the typical OST \u201cAgenda Setting\u201d step (link to Resource Guide with full instructions for all steps is noted in the Resource section at the end of this blog):\n\u201cTo get `from here to there\u2019 we will use two very simple mechanisms \u2014 the Community Bulletin Board, and the Village Market Place. In a few moments, I will ask you to identify any issue or opportunity you see around our theme, give it a short title and write that down on the paper provided. Then stand up in front of the group, say what your issue is, and post the paper on the wall. Make sure that you have some real passion for this issue, and that it is not just a good idea for somebody else to do. For you will be expected to take personal responsibility for the discussion. That means saying where and when the group will meet, convening the group, and entering the results of your discussion into our computer system (if you are using a system). You may offer as many issues as you like, and if at the end of the day, you do not see your issue on the wall, there is exactly one person to complain to. Yourself.\n\u201cOnce all the issues are up, we will then open the Village Market Place, and everybody will be invited to come to the wall and sign up for as few or as many of the groups as they desire. From there on out, you are in charge.\n\u201cEven though Open Space is truly open, there are some principles and one law that we need to keep in mind. The Four Principles are. . . [see above]. And the Law is what we call the Law of Two Feet. Everybody has them. . . . [see above].\u201d\n\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014I have often found that the way the topics are framed by the participants leaves me unsure about what I might contribute as a participant. In addition, I almost always never offer topics for three reasons which include: 1) I am not sure that any of the topics I propose are worthy of the groups attention, 2) I\u2019m not sure I want to lead a topic and 3) I don\u2019t want to get up in front of a large group and make a case for a topic (it is just too intimidating to do it that quickly for me).\nThe Proposed Modification\nInstead of having everyone think about whether they want to offer a topic, I\u2019m wondering if it would be helpful to have them first meet in small groups of 3-4. Each person would then take 1 minute to think out loud with the other group members devoted attention, to sketch out potential ideas they might offer before they offer it to the larger group. For some group members they might simply say, \u201cI don\u2019t have anything to offer but I\u2019d be interested in contributing or listening to the following topics.\u201d\nEach person in the small group would take a turn at being listened to around their potential topic choices. After everyone has spoken, the small group might merge common topics and together propose 1-2 clearly stated topics to the larger group.\nThe total amount of time needed to do this \u201cextra\u201d sub step in the Agenda Setting step would be about 10 minutes.\nFour Potential Benefits\nYou don\u2019t feel alone in proposing a topic to the larger group because you now have a partner with whom to lead the topic.\nEveryone has time to think out loud and test the idea with the smaller group to clarify your thinking.\nYou narrow down the topics being proposed (if this might be a problem for the size of group you have).\nYou now know a little bit about 2 topics being proposed and have an easy first choice about what to sign up for if you\u2019re not going to lead\nThe added step might look like this:\nGet in small groups of four people. Each take one minute to share any topics you are thinking about offering or any topics you are interested in. Everyone gets the same amount of time. When one person is speaking, everyone just listens \u2013 no interruptions. Imagine this person is just trying to do \u201cout loud thinking\u201d to help them clarify their thoughts. I will ring a bell after each one minute or you can use your own timer.\nWhen everyone has shared, together discuss where you heard as potentially common topics\nDecide together which two topics you will offer to the whole group and who will lead and co-lead, if desired. Anyone can ask someone in the group to stand up with them to make it less intimidating to offer their proposal to the whole group.\n(Then you go back to the community bulletin board step noted above)\nI have avoided using Open Space Technology because I neither feel qualified to offer a topic or interested enough in someone else\u2019s topic to fully participate. This tinkering of the Agenda Setting step would allow me to gain more ownership in the process. What do you think? As you review the overview below, can you see yourself using this modification?\nOST creates the supportive environment in which the participants solve self-determined issues. Minimal elements of this framework include: Opening, Agenda Setting, Open Space, and Conclusion. These elements will suffice for events lasting up to a day. Longer events will require the addition of Morning Announcements, Evening News, and probably a Celebration.\nWhoever comes is the right people\nLastly When it\u2019s over, it\u2019s over\nWhat People Say is Unique\nSource: Michael Herman\nDiverse, often conflicted groups up to 1000 people, can manage hugely complex issues in minimal amounts of time, with no advance agenda preparation, and little, to no, overt facilitation.\nThe conference agenda is largely unknown to participants in advance of the event, because the agenda is built in real-time, by the participants themselves, just before the conference starts.\nThe entire building and delivery of the agenda typically is completed in less than 90 minutes. The result is dozens of learning sessions. A typical convened session might have 6 to 10 people participating but they can leave anytime to attend a different session. (Law of two feet)\nIt is counter to the way that Western and Asian businesses have run meetings and events. The manager/leader/organizer does not decide who and what and where and when. In OST schedules, project plans, organization, staff, materials are not apparent.\nIt is facilitation of group process \u201cat scale\u201d. As such, it is THE critical success factor in creating successful Open Space events.\nOur Suggestions for Using OST\nBecause there is little structure in terms of what we know or are used to as structure, it can make leaders nervous. It is good to explain the benefits to them carefully, perhaps show them a video of how it works.\nEnsure the following things happen:\nEvery issue of concern to anybody had been laid upon the table.\nAll issues were discussed to the extent that anybody cared to do that. (Law Two Feet)\nA full written record of all discussions existed and was in the hands of all participants.\nAll issues were ranked in priority order.\nCritical \u201cfocal issues\u201d had been isolated and Next Step actions identified for their resolution.\nYou use all parts of the process i.e., OPENING, AGENDA SETTING, OPEN SPACE, ANNOUNCEMENTS, EVENING NEWS\nSome really important things to know about the Law of two feet:\nReally make it SO clear that people can move anytime they want. Explain why it is important (see below). Demonstrate how people can do that politely and get everyone\u2019s agreement up front that you will all use the same ritual of moving on\u2026 say to participants \u201c No matter what, don\u2019t sit there feeling miserable. Unhappy people are unlikely to be productive people.\nOne of the most profound impacts of the law is to make it clear who is responsible for the quality of a participant\u2019s learning. If any situation is not learning rich, it is incumbent upon the individual participant to make it so.\nOne of the more surprising gifts of the Law of Two Feet is the apparent contribution to conflict resolution. Apparently the participants do it all by themselves. Consider 100+ Zulus, Haussa, Afrikaners, and Brits struggling to gain an understanding of each other as they worked to create the New South Africa. Or how about 225 federal bureaucrats, state and local bureaucrats, and Native Americans gathered to work out approaches to building roads on tribal lands.

I hear what you are saying about the barriers to participation in OS. And personally i believe it is just fine to tinker with and adapt methods\u2013part of the art and joy of facilitation is when one moves beyond rigid method application; personally i commonly use elements of established methods in novel ways to do my work. At the same time, i worry that the modification you are proposing would take something away from the essential spirit of OS. One beautiful thing about OS is that topics are not vetted or limited in any way, i love how anyone can post anything they have passion for, there is no consensus of any kind and autonomy and diversity are thereby increased. In my experience groups tend to \u201cover-merge\u201d offerings during the Marketplace stage, so when i\u2019m leading OS i caution against that.\nI\u2019m trying to think what alternatives might address your dilemma. Regarding your reason #2, perhaps craft the invitation to clarify that no expertise is required to lead a topic, for example a topic can start with a great question and nothing more. Regarding reason #1, if people in the group don\u2019t want to give attention to a topic, they will vote with their feet, thus there is no need for proposers to decide worthiness. Regarding reason #3, perhaps allow a few extra minutes during topic writing and tell people that if they want to partner with someone else in the room on offering something that\u2019s ok? Those are my initial thoughts.\nEric Kapono on November 15, 2017 at 3:25 pm\nWhen participating in OS I often don\u2019t post a topic, mostly because other topics catch my fancy more, which says alot about what I care most about. When I do post, it is something I really care about, and it\u2019s that caring that spurs this introvert to stand up and announce my interest.\nWhen facilitating OS, I put some effort into the pre-event invite/announcement, trying to make it clear participants will be the ones setting the agenda, in the hopes it begins the thinking process of what one may want to talk about. I also work with the client/sponsor ahead of time to shape their messaging and communications in talking-up the event, to help spread the point that participants will be creating the agenda with their interests on the theme.\nIn opening and inviting, I do voice a \u201cscript\u201d for folks to use, e.g., \u201cMy name is Eric, and I am interested in talking about bike-friendly streets.\u201d This helps downplay the need for someone to feel they should advocate for their topic, thus easing some of the public speaking anxiety. I\u2019ve also observed at times a participant will ask their neighbor to post for them. I never asked them why, but I\u2019m guessing they didn\u2019t want to stand in front of everyone. Likewise, I\u2019ve seen some younger participants ask the elder next to them if that elder would like for them to post something on their behalf.\nAfter the first wave of postings, I do mention that folks hopefully won\u2019t get home tonight and say \u201cyou know, they never talk about bike-friendly streets.\u201d After the second wave of postings, I sometimes give an auctioneer\u2019s \u201cgoing once..\u201d to let them know we\u2019re about to move on. It\u2019s in this final silence that we often get one more from someone who\u2019d been sitting there sensing their passion for their topic, and jumping up to propose it.\nTo reduce anxiety on whether anyone else is interested, I\u2019ll point to the principles that it\u2019s OK if you\u2019re the only one who shows up for your topic, and then I\u2019ll share a story of once I had a participant propose a topic, convened it and no one else showed up, yet he cared enough to stay there and put his thoughts into the notes, which were then read by the board of the organization hosting the event, and they invited him onto the board the next month and he served the organization for years, and pointing out you never really know the extent of your influence when you stand up for what you care most about.\nWhile I too will often tweak and morph methods to suit different situations, the OS framework has a certain simple elegance that, when properly accommodated for, has yielded some remarkable results, in my experience, and I\u2019m reluctant to change anything. If it cannot be accommodated, due to logistics, topic, organization, or whatever, then I\u2019ll look to another way of doing things than design a change to OS.\nI can understand \u2013 and have experienced my own \u2013 hesitancy in posting a topic, but when facilitating OS I already know not everyone will be proposing topics, nor does everyone need to, because I\u2019m confident they\u2019ll get something from elsewhere in the process. I just try to make it as easy as possible for sparks of passion to grow into a desire to post a topic. That\u2019s what I\u2019ve noticed so far.\nSidney Craig Courtice on November 16, 2017 at 4:33 pm\nHi Barbara and Tree (Tree, I have met you in Calgary during your GroupWorks presentations \u2013\nlove GroupWorks!!) I have used OST quite a bit and like this idea, Barbara, and think it would\nlargely depend on my knowledge of the group (are they familiar with co-creating)\nand what they hoped for an outcome (can it be a true collaboration, open to any result).\nI recall one time when I was asked to \u201cseed\u201d some questions with some \u201cexperts\u201d on the topic \u2013\nwe called it a modified\nOpen Space. We had a true OST process followed by these seeded topics. I still regret agreeing\nto this as it changed the collaborative and co-creating dynamic. Good news is that everyone felt\nownership in the results (or said they did). I also like Tree\u2019s idea of suggesting people partner if they\nwish. I have not found that people are shy to come forward with their Marketplace ideas during\nagenda setting if given enough time to ponder. I also promote the idea of the Butterflies milling\naround the coffee table even at this agenda stage to help with idea generating.\nOverall, I also like that we can modify processes based on the group we are working with.",

        "raw_content": "The Honorable Mitch McConnell The Honorable Chuck Schumer\n230 U.S. Capitol Building (Senate) 419 Hart Senate Office Building\nThe Honorable Paul Ryan The Honorable Nancy Pelosi\n232 U.S. Capitol Building (House) 204 U.S. Capitol Building (House)\nDear Speaker Ryan and Leaders McConnell, Schumer, and Pelosi:\nOn behalf of the Consortium for Ocean Leadership (COL), which represents our nation\u2019s leading ocean science, research, and technology organizations from academia, industry, and aquaria, I want to thank you for your work on fiscal year (FY) 2019 Commerce-Justice-Science appropriations. As you continue with the process, on behalf of COL, I respectfully request robust funding for the National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).\nI am in agreement with the recommendation from Innovation: An American Imperative (a call to action signed by more than 500 industry, higher education, science, and engineering leaders) that suggests at least a four percent annual funding increase to ensure our nation remains strong and competitive in science and innovation. While I support this recommendation, I also understand the intricacies of the budget process (including planned decreases at NOAA due to weather satellites entering the operational phase), so to be as in line with this increase as possible (NSF and NASA topline numbers fall just shy of four percent growth), I respectfully request you fund each agency at no less than the highest level provided in the House and Senate appropriations bills.\nOcean science and technology form the foundation for a strong and secure nation. The idea that our nation\u2019s securities \u2013 national, homeland, economic, energy, food, and water \u2013 are dependent on a healthy and prosperous ocean (which in turn depends on ocean science and technology) is a concept I refer to as \u201cocean security.\u201d Ocean science and technology aid in naval undersea warfare, allow us to predict hurricanes, ensure world-class fisheries management, help us make new discoveries about the planet on which we live, and much more. Investments in ocean science and technology are critical to our ocean security and the safety, competitiveness, and stability of our nation. As you look to provide spending levels and policy direction to NSF, NOAA, and NASA, I request you also consider the following programs and directives within each agency.\nThank you for appropriations bills that increase funding for NSF \u201cto promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; [and] to secure the national defense.\u201d I encourage the committee to fund the agency no lower than the $8.2 billion included in the House bill.\nAdditionally, the inclusion of funding for regional class research vessels (in both reports) and language in the Senate report on marine seismic research that recognizes the importance of ensuring the availability of \u201cNSF-funded marine research vessels with unique capabilities\u201d are critical, not only to our ocean security, but to NSF\u2019s ability to carry out the eight priority science questions laid out in the National Research Council\u2019s report Sea Change: 2015-2025 Decadal Survey of Ocean Sciences. Answering these questions will provide us with more information across a breadth of issues, increasing our understanding about the impacts of pollutants, sustainable use of coastal zones, how ocean changes will impact hurricanes, risk associated with geohazards like tsunamis, and how subseafloor processes and products could be used.\nAs our nation deals with the impacts of hurricanes, droughts, fires, and other natural disasters, the role of NOAA in monitoring and forecasting weather and ocean conditions becomes ever more important. But NOAA does more than predict the weather and ocean, and I thank you for recognizing that and providing funding for key programs slated for elimination in the president\u2019s budget request, including the National Sea Grant College Program, the National Estuarine Research Reserve System, Coastal Zone Management Grants, and the Office of Education. I request that the final bill include no less than the $5.5 billion included in the Senate bill and that the agency\u2019s climate research programs be adequately funded.\nThere are two items of importance I\u2019d like to highlight in Senate report language that strengthen our ocean security. First, the Senate report provides $8 million for the National Oceanographic Partnership Program (NOPP). NOPP facilitates much-needed partnerships between federal agencies, academia, and industry and has funded over 200 projects since its creation in 1997, addressing topics from economic development to national security. Additionally, the Senate provides $15 million for the National Marine Fisheries Service\u2019s aquaculture program, which will play an increasingly important role in expanding domestic seafood production and reducing our reliance on imports to feed our nation, thus ensuring our food security. An important way to advance sound, sustainable aquaculture in offshore U.S. waters is through pilot projects; language directing the continuation of regional pilot programs that advance partnerships between the seafood industry and the community will ensure aquaculture is an economically beneficial and environmentally sustainable venture.\nNASA plays a key role, not just in understanding what is beyond our planet, but in understanding our own planet\u2019s interconnected systems, which is critical to our very survival. Thank you for the increase in funding to the Science Mission Directorate provided in both appropriations bills. To ensure the agency balances its space missions with its Earth ones, I request NASA\u2019s Earth Science Division be funded at no less than the $1.93 billion provided in the Senate bill.\nI also request funding for projects that help monitor Earth\u2019s climate, including the Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem (PACE) mission; the Landsat 9 mission; the Climate Absolute Radiance and Refractivity Observatory Pathfinder mission; and Orbiting Carbon Observatory 3 mission help us understand our ocean and Earth. For example, satellite observations of the ocean, atmospheric aerosols, and clouds collected during the PACE mission will deliver economic and societal benefits, including in areas of fisheries productivity and coastal health. Understanding topics such as these ensure our food security and economic stability; yet another example of how ocean science underpins and strengthens our ocean security.\nIn closing, I respectfully request that in the final appropriations bill for FY 2019, you fund each agency at no less than the highest level provided in the House and Senate appropriations bills, although at least a four percent annual increase would be preferable to ensure our strength and competitiveness in science and innovation. Investing in ocean science and technology will ensure our ocean security, keeping our ocean and our people healthy and our nation safe, secure, and economically competitive. COL, and the member institutions we represent, would be pleased to serve as a resource should you have questions or need any additional information.\nThe Honorable Richard Shelby, Chairman, Committee on Appropriations, U.S. Senate\nThe Honorable Patrick Leahy, Vice Chairman, Committee on Appropriations, U.S. Senate\nThe Honorable Rodney Frelinghuysen, Chairman, Committee on Appropriations, U.S. House of Representatives\nThe Honorable Nita Lowey, Ranking Member, Committee on Appropriations, U.S. House of Representatives\nThe Honorable Jerry Moran; Chairman; Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies; Committee on Appropriations; U.S. Senate\nThe Honorable Jeanne Shaheen; Ranking Member; Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies; Committee on Appropriations; U.S. Senate\nThe Honorable John Culberson; Chairman; Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies; Committee on Appropriations; U.S. House of Representatives\nThe Honorable Jos\u00e9 Serrano; Ranking Member; Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies; Committee on Appropriations; U.S. House of Representatives",

        "raw_content": "Don\u2019t Quarrel with the Way\nDecember 3, 2013 By Eileen R. Ruddell in Rabbi's Blog\n(commentary from Sparks Beneath the Surface, page 57)\n11thTorahPortion, 11th in Genesis \u2013 Vayigash\nJudah pleas with Joseph to free Benjamin. He offers himself as a replacement. Joseph reveals himself to his brothers and forgives them for selling him into slavery. Jacob learns that his son, Joseph is still alive and goes to Egypt. Pharaoh permits Joseph\u2019s family to live in Goshen.\n24) And he [Joseph] sent his brothers off and as they left he said to them, \u2018Don\u2019t quarrel on the way.\u2019 25) So they went up from Egypt and came to their father, Jacob, in yhe land of Canaan. 26) And told him thus, \u2018Joseph is still alive; he is a ruler over the land of Egypt.\u2019 His [Jacob\u2019s] heart fluttered because he couldn\u2019t believe them (45:24-26).\nGenesis Rabbah 94:2 describes the quarrel between the brothers as an argument among them about whether they should rush home to their father or not. The Midrash suggests they not rush because the pace has been determined [by God] so that they will enter towns during the daylight hours. Traveling at night would be dangerous.\nMenachem Mendl of Kotz comments on the passage and the Midrash suggesting that Joseph understood that the brothers would hasten their steps in order to bring the wonderful news to their father that Joseph was still alive. For this reason Joseph said to them (according to Rabbi Kotz), \u201cThe hour of your arrival at your destination has been appointed by Heaven. And if you hurry on the way you will only be delayed by some other reason. So \u2018don\u2019t quarrel with the way\u2019 (45:24) that has been appointed for you.\u201d\nThe Kotzker reminds us that the preposition bet that is placed in front of the noun, derech (\u201cway\u201d) does not mean \u201cin.\u201d Sometimes it can be translated as \u201cwith.\u201d Therefore ba-derech can be read as \u201cwith the say.\u201d Therefore, acknowledge the divine way set before us, which we are supposed to accomplish. The route can be just as important as the destination.\n\u00ab Becoming Accepting of Others\t\u00bb Celebrate the Life and Times of Nelson Mandela",

We\u2019ve had some wonderful weather until today and our lovely T-shirt bras have been hugely popular with several re-orders required to keep up with demand! If you haven\u2019t stopped by the Corsetry Chalet yet then this gap in the sunny weather is the perfect chance. Book an appointment here and I\u2019ll do my best to make sure you have the right T-shirt bra for you before the sun re-appears!\nI\u2019ve just recently got back from 6 lovely days in Amsterdam, Holland. What a lively, lovely place to visit for a few days, so many interesting things to see and such friendly people. A couple of the highlights that we visited was a little known museum called the Church in the Attic, which dates from the 17th C. If you have never seen it put it on your list as a place to go.\nAlso you cannot visit Amsterdam without a boat ride on the canal, we did ours on a lovely sunny day, which included a glass of wine, and what a lovely way of seeing the back of the City.\nNo visit is complete, particularly in the spring without a visit to Keukenhof, the most beautiful spring garden in the world. The tulips where breath-taking particularly with all the beautiful colours and forms that they take, but must admit a special place in my heart was for the display of Orchids. There was a whole room filled with them, again in every shape and colour you can image.\nA good time was definitely had but I\u2019m happy to be back at the Corsetry Chalet taking a look at some of the recently revised lines from Fantasie.\nFantasie Rebecca Lace Cherry (left) and Fantasie Zoe Black (right)\nThe first is Rebecca Lace, which is the best-selling lightweight breathable spacer moulded bra in the collection, now has a luxurious edge with an exclusively designed corded lace finish. We also have Zoe by Fantasie which is also a moulded bra but comes in a plunge balcony shape. Both come in a range of colours including Black and Nude.\nWhatever you\u2019re up to for the rest of May I hope you enjoy it. It\u2019s a fantastic time of year. And if you have time to visit us at the Corsetry Chalet we\u2019d love to see you! Book an appointment here.",

        "raw_content": "Home Pain Management Real Issues that People Living with Chronic Pain Face Every Day\nReal Issues that People Living with Chronic Pain Face Every Day\nHaving Pain Can Mean Making Tough Choices\nAn article by Toni Bernhard, J.D., published earlier this year in Psychology Today, discussed an important point: Having chronic pain can feel like a full-time job. One reason for that, Bernhard wrote, is that we must constantly assess and evaluate if we\u2019re managing our health and our relationships as skillfully as possible. This ongoing decision-making makes up a major part of the workload in this full-time job a position we certainly never applied for!\u009d\nHere\u2019s guidance for navigating some of the decisions chronic-pain sufferers have to deal with:\nOpen up about your health problems or keep them to yourself?\nWhile it can be unhealthy to isolate yourself and not share your feelings, being open can sometimes backfire. People might be turned off or annoyed by your complaints or might start treating you differently, showing not compassion but pity. On the other hand, if you share, even with a stranger, you might get much-needed advice. Before divulging your situation, assess if the person can handle hearing it. Is he or she judgmental, neutral, open-minded?\nAs psychologist Bren Brown, Ph.D., a research professor at the University of Houston, said during an interview with Oprah on OWN about sharing your personal issues with others, Tell your story to people who deserve to it hear it. Sometimes when we confide in others about our pain, or anything negative going on in our lives for that matter, whether it is a divorce or job loss, be sure that person can handle hearing what you have to say. Sometimes people do not know how to respond to what you are saying, and their response, whether intentional or not, could leave you feeling ashamed about your pain. (Watch Brown\u2019s video on the six types of people with whom you shouldn\u2019t confide in.)\nWhen are the downsides to alternative therapies?\nNontraditional treatments can be expensive. They can be advertised on the Internet as lifesaving,\u009d but don\u2019t always believe the hype they can even be harmful in some cases. If you are interested in acupuncture, for example, consult with your doctor about risks so that you can make an educated choice.\nDo you ignore a new symptom or rush to the doctor\u2019s office?\nIt\u2019s counterproductive to worry about every twitch and ache, but ignoring a symptom might not be smart. According to the Mayo Clinic, certain conditions shouldn\u2019t be dismissed, including unexpected weight loss, high fever and shortness of breath whether or not it\u2019s connected to the primary cause of your pain.\nI read in one of my chronic illness books about a woman who ignored a new symptom because she decided it was best to assume it was related to her chronic illness,\u009d Bernhard said. She also said that she waited so long to see her doctor because she didn\u2019t want to bother him. The new symptom turned out to be stomach cancer.\u009d\nShould you push yourself, or take it easy and play it safe?\nWhen you are dealing with chronic pain, the urge to be like everyone else (I\u2019m tired of being sick\u009d mentality) is strong. You might want to exercise like your husband does, or play tennis with friends. But be mindful of how your body responds to activity.\nPrevious articleWalgreens Will See You Now\nNext articleHigh Levels of Fluoride in Tea Linked to Chronic Pain",

        "raw_content": "Market Distortions When Agents are Better Informed: The Value of Information in Real Estate Transactions\n35 Pages Posted: 10 Feb 2005 Last revised: 15 Sep 2010\nSee all articles by Steven D. Levitt\nUniversity of Chicago; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER); American Bar Foundation\nUniversity of Chicago Booth School of Business; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER)\nAgents are often better informed than the clients who hire them and may exploit this informational advantage. Real-estate agents, who know much more about the housing market than the typical homeowner, are one example. Because real estate agents receive only a small share of the incremental profit when a house sells for a higher value, there is an incentive for them to convince their clients to sell their houses too cheaply and too quickly. We test these predictions by comparing home sales in which real estate agents are hired by others to sell a home to instances in which a real estate agent sells his or her own home. In the former case, the agent has distorted incentives; in the latter case, the agent wants to pursue the first-best. Consistent with the theory, we find homes owned by real estate agents sell for about 3.7 percent more than other houses and stay on the market about 9.5 days longer, even after controlling for a wide range of housing characteristics. Situations in which the agent's informational advantage is larger lead to even greater distortions.\nLevitt, Steven D. and Syverson, Chad, Market Distortions When Agents are Better Informed: The Value of Information in Real Estate Transactions (January 2005).

        "raw_content": "May the 4th. A day to celebrate all things Star Wars. And since this is a book blog, I\u2019ve put together a list of Star Wars books I can recommend. I will forego the canon vs noncanon arguments that always flare up when someone makes a list like this. I don\u2019t really care who shot first or if world hunger is minor compared to your hatred of the prequels. When I read a Star Wars book, I\u2019m simply looking for a good story that takes place in my favorite universe. Instead of focusing on the old standards (the Thrawn trilogy, the X-Wing Series, etc), I\u2019ve tried to point out some books people may have missed, but are solid reads.\nCloser to the Core:\nDarth Plagueis by James Luceno\n\u201cDid you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the wise\u2026?\u201d The is the story of Darth Sidious\u2019s (the Emperor) apprenticeship to his master Darth Plagueis. This book tells the whole story of Sheev Palpatine political rise in the galactic senate and his ascent as a Dark Lord of the Sith. Luceno\u2019s exploration into the Rule of Two and the interplay between master and apprentice make this an essential read for fans. I loved it!\nOne of the best characters in the history of the universe, and my favorite of the ones that never appeared in the films. No force sensitivity here, just cold, calculating logic. This book shares his origin and his rise in the ranks of the Empire military complex. This is an awesome introduction to the character and Zahn\u2019s writing.\nA Couple Good Series:\nThe Darth Bane Trilogy by Drew Karpyshyn:\nSet 1000 years before Lucas\u2019s original films, Karpyshyn imagines the epic battles fought between the Sith and the Jedi. From a deep mine on a forgotten planet to the halls of the Sith Academy, Bane gains the knowledge to harness his power in the dark side of the force. A signature anti-hero in the Star Wars galaxy. This series is an excellent read.\nThe Republic Commando Series by Karen Traviss:\nBoots on the ground action from a unit during the Clone wars. Traviss is one of the best writers of Star Wars fiction, and her Commando Series proves it. As a Clone Trooper unit is thrown into mission after mission, the reader learns about their individual personalities and ultimately how they are able to carry out Order 66. The action-packed battle scenes and technical know-how are on point in this 5-book series.\nLockdown by Joe Schreiber:\nNot my favorite character in the first prequel, but this book does a lot to flesh him out. Prior to the events of The Phantom Menace, Maul is sent into a galactic prison by Plagueis and Sidious to take part in a blood sport whose prize is a weapon that would greatly help the Empire\u2019s master plan. This is fun tangent off the main Star Wars plot line. A well-written quick read.\nDeath Troopers by Joe Schreiber:\nSchreiber has written several books in the Star Wars universe that don\u2019t exactly fit the lightsaber/ x-wing box. They are great hybrids that combine several of my favorite genres\u2026 Death Troopers is a zombie/ space mystery. A rag tag team of survivors of a broken-down prison barge must try to figure out how to combat a horrible sickness.\nShadow Games by Michael Reeves and Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff\nA mystery wrapped in the Star Wars world. Han Solo makes a cameo in this story of a body guard tasked to protect a pop star. You also get a good dose of the Black Sun, a notorious crime syndicate that infects politics and smuggling from Coruscant to the Outer Rim. The story is fast-paced and has you guessing throughout.\nYA/ Children\u2019s Books that can be enjoyed by both young people and this 40-year-old:\nAhsoka by E.H. Johnson\nI love the character of Ahsoka from The Clone Wars. This book tells her story between her departure from the Jedi Academy and joining the rebellion with the Fulcrum crew in Rebels. While trying to stay hidden from the Empire after Order 66, she gets pulled into a conflict on a distant planet. She must ask herself whether it\u2019s time to recommit herself to the cause.\nJedi Academy by Jeffrey Brown\nA series of light and funny graphic novels taking place in the Jedi Academy. Roan wanted to be a space pilot like his brother, but after being denied entrance, he has to settle with the Academy. Middle-school high jinks and awkwardness fill these great books.\nSince I read this one a couple years ago, this is the book I most regularly recommend to people looking to read a Star Wars novel . Ciena Ree and Thane Kyrell grow up on the same planet, but their lives take very different paths. One is a Imperial officer and the other a Rebel pilot. They live through all the major events in the original trilogy. A perfect homage to the those great flicks. I loved it.\nWhen happened to Jyn between Saw Guerrera rescuing her and the rebels breaking her out of prison. How did she become the soldier we meet during the bulk of Rogue One? This one filled in a lot of the holes in Jyn\u2019s story. If you\u2019re a fan of Rogue One, this provides some needed depth.\nHow Star Wars Conquered the Universe: The Past, Present, and Future of a Multibillion Dollar Franchise. By Chris Taylor\nThe history of Star Wars from the creation of the characters, movies, and plots lines to the business of toys, books, and Disney. A comprehensive look at all things Star Wars. I enjoyed the business and numbers, just as much as Taylor\u2019s bio of George Lucas.\n#booklist, #maythefourth, #starwars, #starwarsday\nWe Regret to Inform You by A.E.

        "raw_content": "Alumni News Reading Room: Daniel Markey *00\nAmerica\u2019s tortured relationship with Pakistan\nWhen writing his new book about the difficult relationship between the United States and Pakistan, Daniel Markey *00 found an eerily apt metaphor in the famous Jean-Paul Sartre play No Exit. The play features three sinners sentenced to hell by being stuck in a small room with each other. The three are perfectly calibrated to torment each other \u2014 so much so that, by the time they have the opportunity to escape, they have grown so dependent on each other that they stay right where they are.\nIn No Exit from Pakistan: America\u2019s Tortured Relationship with Islamabad (Cambridge University Press), Markey concludes that the United States and Pakistan, like Sartre\u2019s characters, are frenemies who can\u2019t help but torment each other indefinitely.\nCourtesy Council on Foreign Relations\nMarkey writes that the United States often has treated Pakistan as a pawn in its larger goals, such as containing communism or terrorism, rather than seeing \u201cinherent value in trade, cultural affinities, or a shared worldview.\u201d Pakistan, for its part, has pursued its rivalry with neighboring India \u2014 through its support for militants and its successful effort to build a nuclear bomb \u2014 in a way that has risked international stability.\nHowever frustrating these divisions have been, though, full disengagement between Pakistan and the United States isn\u2019t an option. \u201cUnlike Iran, Pakistan is already nuclear. Unlike North Korea, it\u2019s enormous. And it\u2019s a country that\u2019s globally interconnected with terrorism links,\u201d says Markey, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations in Washington, D.C.\nThe U.S. raid to kill Osama bin Laden in 2011 crystallized these tensions. Many in the United States couldn\u2019t imagine how the world\u2019s most-wanted terrorist could have found refuge in Pakistan without the knowledge or cooperation of some Pakistanis. Meanwhile, the United States mishandled the diplomatic side, Markey says, failing to draw up a plan for smoothing foreseeable tensions in the hours and days after the raid.\nTo Markey, it\u2019s impossible to separate Pakistan\u2019s challenges in international relations from its internal difficulties. There\u2019s a huge population of young, insufficiently educated Pakistanis facing weak job prospects. At times, violence seems to be preventing the type of economic progress that could ameliorate these problems, he says.\nThe United States could help economically \u2014 American-funded projects from the 1950s and 1960s such as dams and universities did genuine good, Markey says \u2014 but the United States\u2019 Sisyphean experience in Afghanistan since 2001 has left American policymakers and the public wary of nation building. Instead, Markey suggests more limited strategies.\nThe United States should \u201cprepare for the worst,\u201d he says, by putting in place structures that deter the use of nuclear weapons, while finding \u201ccommon cause\u201d with Pakistan on such issues as promoting trade and regional integration and avoiding past mistakes such as indulging Pakistani leaders\u2019 authoritarian tendencies.\n\u201cWe shouldn\u2019t write off our ability to do good \u2014 just our ability to change an enormous country,\u201d he says.\nThe Way of the Knife: The CIA, a Secret Army, and a War at the Ends of the Earth, by New York Times writer Mark Mazzetti. \u201cIt\u2019s based on incredible reporting that was very useful when it came out in the paper.\u201d\nReading Room: Daniel Markey *00",

Smaller practices, however, face particular challenges in coordinating care for these patients. This paper explores the current landscape of PCMH services for patients with complex needs, details five programs that have addressed the challenges of caring for these patients, and offers programmatic and policy changes that can help smaller practices better deliver services to all patients, including those with the most complex health needs.\nIn light of widespread problems with primary health care in the U.S., many policymakers have called for major improvements in primary care as a key element of successful health care reform. The patient-centered medical home (PCMH) is a model for strengthening primary care through the reorganization of existing practices to provide patient-centered, comprehensive, coordinated, and accessible care that is continuously improved through a systems-based approach to quality and safety (AHRQ, 2011). Diverse stakeholders, including Federal and State agencies, insurers, physicians and other clinicians, employers, and patient advocacy organizations, are engaged in numerous efforts to promote primary care practice transformation into PCMHs through payment reform, practice support, and recognition programs (Maxfield et al., 2008; Berry, 2009; Adams et al., 2009; CMS, 2009; Deloitte, 2008; PCPCC, 2009;Qualis, 2009).\nPCMH standards have focused thus far on improved access to and coordination of medical services. There are, however, some groups of patients with more complex health care needs who require more intensive medical services coordinated across multiple providers, as well as a wide range of social supports to maintain health and functioning. Because of the range and intensity of services needed, these patients tend to be the most costly, and PCMHs that can effectively coordinate the full range of medical, mental health, and social services may have special benefit for them. In the process of acquiring such capabilities, primary care practices may become more effective in providing care to their broader patient population and better ready to serve when those patients suffer complex problems as well.\nThis paper describes the challenges, as well as some promising approaches, for improving the capacity of primary care practices (PCPs) to deliver coordinated and comprehensive care to patients with complex needs. To explore this topic we consider two groups of community-dwelling, noninstitutionalized patients 1 with especially complex health and social support needs: (1) the frail elderly and (2) working-age adults with disabilities. According to the 2009 American Community Survey, about 10 percent of adults ages 18 to 64 (19 million individuals) and 37 percent of adults age 65 and older (14 million individuals) have a disability (U.S. Census Bureau, 2009).2\nLike all people with chronic health conditions, these patients generally use more health services and receive care from more and different health professionals than do people without chronic conditions. But most of these patients with complex care needs also have functional limitations, which means they often need assistance from family members or paid personal care assistants to perform activities of daily living, such as toileting, eating, and getting dressed. They also frequently rely on such social services as accessible transportation or home-delivered meals provided by community organizations. Furthermore, given the complexity of their health problems, they are more likely to have chronic, progressive illnesses or experience life-threatening complications. Thus, palliative care and hospice services are more often a consideration for these patients than for others in primary care, further expanding the range of potential services that must be coordinated to optimize quality of life.\nIn considering the challenges of providing high-quality primary care for these complex-needs patients, we focus particular attention on the capabilities of small practices. While the transformation of a practice into one that meets PCMH standards is difficult for most PCPs, it can be especially challenging for smaller practices where managing the workload is a daily struggle and where limited financial reserves, staff time, and administrative infrastructure may complicate practice redesign efforts. Yet, most primary care clinicians work in such settings: 78 percent work in practices of 5 or fewer physicians (Hing, 2006).\nThe goal of this paper is to promote broader understanding and stimulate discussion about policies and strategies that could help typical smaller PCPs transform into effective medical homes that appropriately serve complex-needs patients. Accordingly, our audience includes private and public payers, policymakers, primary care professional leaders, primary care researchers, and advocates for the PCMH. We first discuss the importance and potential benefits of transforming current PCPs to serve these complex-needs population groups (Chapter 2). We then turn to the current challenges that prevent many primary care clinicians from doing so (Chapter 3) and review the key elements of coordinating care for complex-needs populations (Chapter 4). We next describe several successful programs across the country that work in collaboration with smaller PCPs to provide comprehensive, coordinated care across health and community social service systems. In this discussion, we identify lessons from their experiences (Chapter5) and conclude by highlighting promising ways of overcoming the barriers to providing primary care to complex-needs patients, and we also identify topics for future research (Chapter 6).\n2. How the Patient-Centered Medical Home Could Improve Care for Patients with Complex Needs\nAccounts of the health care system\u2019s failures in primary care are numerous, but perhaps the most poignant are those highlighting the daunting problems of complex-needs patients and their families. Because of their severe or multiple health conditions and functional limitations, these patients are more likely to go to hospitals, emergency rooms, and long-term care facilities, and to need more supportive services to help with activities of daily living or arrange for transportation. As a result, they are more vulnerable to fragmented care and \u201cfalling through the cracks.\u201d\nFigure 1. Patient Experiences\n\u201cA lot of things I think I can handle myself, but we [patients] are not medical people and we don\u2019t know the terminology that [the doctors] use,\u201d said a 71-year-old man.\n\u201cSometimes, I have to spend all day on the phone to my doctor, even to get an appointment,\u201d said an 81-year-old woman.\n\u201cThey don\u2019t assist on the transition [from the hospital back to] home. You have to be tough; be an advocate \u2026 I\u2019d like somebody to tell me what\u2019s available. I don\u2019t know,\u201d said an 82-year-old man caring for his wife, who has terminal cancer and dementia.\nQuotes are from focus groups with patients and caregivers (AARP 2009).\nThe frustration of patients is evident (see Figure 1), and the burden placed on their families is large. Even professionals with expertise in health care delivery and long-term care find it hard to navigate across the two systems. For example, Drs. Rosalie and Robert Kane prominent long-term-care experts, describe the way the current health care system often causes confusion among their patients, contributes to misunderstanding of patients\u2019 inter-related conditions, and subverts patient privacy and quality of life (Gross, 2005). Despite their own considerable expertise, the two doctors found it difficult to arrange reliable home care for their own family members who were frail or disabled. Said Dr. Robert transition Kane: \u201cIt's technically complex, emotionally taxing, there's not much help out there, and panic is the normal reaction. If Rosalie and I can't do it, what chance does the average person have?\u201d David Lawrence, the former CEO of Kaiser Permanente, described his mother\u2019s care after she fell as a \u201cpick-up soccer game in which the participants were playing together for the first time, didn\u2019t know each other\u2019s names, and wore earmuffs so they couldn\u2019t hear one another\u201d (Lawrence, 2003). The disjointed, myopic care Dr. Lawrence\u2019s mother received stalled her recovery and taxed\u2014emotionally and physically\u2014the patient and the family. Unfortunately, these experiences are all too common. An AARP survey showed that a significant proportion of older adults experience problems with their medical care, including a medical error (23 percent), poor communication (20 percent), readmission (15 percent), and lack of follow up (6 percent) (AARP, 2009).\nIn light of the existing medical system\u2019s failure to provide accountable, accessible, comprehensive, and coordinated care, the primary care medical specialties for adults have reaffirmed the responsibility of primary care clinicians to address the broad range of patient health care needs (AAFP, 2011; ACP, 2006), and have promoted the PCMH as a means of practice reorganization to help primary care clinicians address health system problems (Martin et al., 2004; ACP, 2006). The medical home is intended to modernize and build the practice infrastructure to support high quality primary care, which the Institute of Medicine (IOM) defines as \u201cthe provision of integrated, accessible health care services by clinicians who are accountable for addressing a large majority of personal health care needs, developing a sustained partnership with patients, and practicing in the context of family and community\u201d (IOM, 1978; IOM, 1996).\nIn theory, a PCP transformed into a PCMH should improve care for all its patients, including those with complex needs. Indeed, the pediatrics profession first articulated the medical home concept more than 30years ago as a way to enhance primary care through better coordination of care for children with special health care needs (Cooley, 2004). Thus far, however, PCMH accreditation and recognition standards, PCMH research priorities, and advocates of primary care improvement have given limited attention to the challenges faced by small practices trying to properly care for complex-needs patients (AAAHC, 2009;AAFP, AAP, ACP, AOA, 2007; BCBS, 2011; NCQA, 2011; URAC, 2011; Landon et al., 2010; PCPCC,2009). Because complex-needs patients receive services from multiple health professionals and social service agencies, they are at the highest risk for fragmented care and poor outcomes. Examples include poor chronic disease care for those with persistent mental illness (Frayne et al., 2005), inadequate preventive services for adults with developmental or physical disabilities (Fisher, 2004), critical lapses in assessment of vulnerable elders (Boult, Counsell, Leipzig et al., 2010), and poor comfort management for the terminally ill (Field and Cassel, 1997). A fully transformed PCMH practice should be able to address many of these shortcomings. We use the framework from Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality(AHRQ) for the core functions of the PCMH to describe in more detail how the medical home model could support the delivery of high quality primary care for patients with complex needs.\nPatient-centered: The primary care medical home provides primary health care that is relationship-based with an orientation toward the whole person. As noted in the AHRQ definition, \u201cpartnering with patients and their families requires understanding and respecting each patient\u2019s unique needs, culture, values, and preferences\u2026\u201d Individual patient preferences can have a major influence on a broad range of decisions, from the scope of appropriate medical interventions to the venue of care (Peikes, Genevro, Scholle et al., 2011). Maintaining independence and patient involvement in self care is also an important element in the care of complex-needs patients, so it is especially important that \u201cthe medical home practice actively supports patients in learning to manage and organize their own care at the level the patient chooses\u2026\u201d Furthermore, it is often essential that the families of frail elders, patients at the end of life, and individuals with disabilities \u201care core members of the care team \u2026 [and] fully informed partners in establishing care plans\u201d (AHRQ,2011).\nComprehensive care: The primary care medical home is accountable for meeting the large majority of each patient\u2019s physical and mental health care needs, including prevention and wellness, acute care, mental health treatment, rehabilitation, and chronic care. Primary care clinicians typically cannot provide on their own the broad array of services often required by complex-needs patients, so medical homes may have to employ or partner with diverse teams of care providers. As described by AHRQ, medical home teams \u201cmight include physicians, advanced practice nurses, physician assistants, nurses, pharmacists, nutritionists, social workers, educators, and care coordinators\u201d (AHRQ, 2011). For patients with complex needs, the team might also include community mental health workers, personal care assistants, physical and occupational therapists, and family caregivers. AHRQ\u2019s definition suggests that some medical home practices may operate through \u201cvirtual teams linking themselves and their patients to clinicians and services in their communities\u201d; this virtual-team approach may be particularly relevant to smaller PCPs that cannot afford to hire staff to manage all of the services required by patients with complex needs.\nCoordinated care: The primary care medical home coordinates care across all elements of the broader health care system, including specialty care, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, home healthcare, and community services and supports. Patients with complex needs typically require not only abroad range of medical services provided by diverse clinicians and health care institutions but also home and community-based services (HCBS) to overcome functional limitations and maintain independence (personal assistants, home modifications, home care aides, physical therapy, assistive technology, and respite programs supporting family caregivers, for example). Such patients may also need services to facilitate social participation in the community, such as accessible transportation and adult day care (Peikes, Brown, Peterson et al., 2009). The diversity of services calls for robust care coordination; without it, there is great risk of diffused professional responsibility and fragmented care that does not meet patient needs. Primary care coordination may also call for the medical home team to serve as an advocate for patients with complex needs. To achieve this for these most complex patients, medical homes \u201c\u2026 [must] excel at building clear and open communication among patients and families, the medical home, and members of the broader care team\u201d (AHRQ, 2011).\nSuperb access to care: The primary care medical home delivers accessible services. For complex patients, the emphasis on enhanced access to timely care by medical homes is especially important, yet highly challenging. Over time, patients with multiple serious chronic conditions are subject to more health concerns and acute events, thus warranting more consultations with medical professionals. Patients nearing the end of life are often medically unstable and require timely access to medical advice to improve comfort and provide reassurance to family. Frail elderly patients and others with physical disabilities often have limited mobility as well as communication impairments, necessitating alternative means for access to assessment and advice, such as around-the-clock telephone or electronic access to a member of the care team as well as the ability to use alternative methods of communication that respond to patients\u2019 preferences and needs.\nA systems-based approach to quality and safety: The primary care medical home demonstrates a commitment to quality and quality improvement. There are a host of challenges to assuring and improving the quality of care for patients with multiple chronic conditions (Ostbye et al., 2005). Primary care clinicians can be overwhelmed by the task of keeping up with all of the recommended services and clinical guidelines for their care. Moreover, many medical practices see only a few patients with a given disability or constellation of disabilities, and even frail elders may make up only a small proportion of a medical home\u2019s patient panel. Therefore, patients with complex needs would particularly benefit from the systems-based approach to quality and safety inherent to the PCMH, drawing on decision-support tools, taking into account patient experience, and using population health management approaches.\n3. Barriers to Transforming Primary Care to Serve Patients with Complex Needs\nThe organization and financing of the U.S. health system pose many barriers to fulfilling the core functions of a PCMH. Many of the problems are compounded for PCPs trying to provide high quality care to patients with complex needs.\nPrimary Care Payment\nThe predominant method of paying physicians in the U.S.\u2014fee-for-service (FFS) payments such as those set by the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule\u2014provide little reward for the core primary care functions (Berenson and Rich, 2010). While this creates a barrier to effective primary care for any patient, it imposes even greater challenges to comprehensive and coordinated care for patients with complex illness. For example, it is more efficient under current FFS payment mechanisms to identify and document the health problems of a complex-needs patient and then refer that individual to specialists for diagnosis or treatment. Moreover, physician fees do not cover the extra costs of comprehensive geriatric assessments (Brangman and Hansen, 2010), nor do they cover the additional time required to communicate with patients with cognitive impairments or to examine those with physical disabilities. Furthermore, FFS payments are generally based on documented services provided during encounters, which means there is no additional payment for non-visit-related care coordination activities like outreach to patients, collaborating with community agencies on care plans, determining patient eligibility for public assistance benefits, or consultations with specialists, family members, or home care providers. For most PCPs, the additional effort to provide comprehensive assessment and management as well as care coordination for patients with complex needs will result in a financial loss to the practice, even if these efforts generate savings for the overall health system.\nThe current FFS system also makes it hard for PCPs to provide enhanced access to care, an important service for complex-needs patients who often have urgent issues. Existing practices struggle to maintain adequate \u201csame-day\u201d openings in their schedules for urgent visits during regular business hours (Mehrotra, Keehl-Markowitz, Ayanian, 2008). Additionally, there is no payment to offset the higher costs of after-hours visits or weekend services, either in the office or in the patient\u2019s home. Neither does current FFS payment support 24/7 telephone or email communication access, even though patients with complex illness often need assessment and advice of the sort that does not require an office visit. Some of these patients, in fact, have considerable difficulty getting to the office for face-to-face encounters due to limited physical mobility, frailty, transportation issues, or cognitive impairment.\nAssuring Clinical Competence\nCompounding the problem of limited reimbursement is the fact that complex-needs patients often have highly specific diagnostic and management issues. While primary care clinicians may receive relevant training early in their careers, medical knowledge evolves over time, and needed competencies decline without use (Choudhry, Fletcher, and Soumerai, 2005; Lin, Xirasagar, Lin, et al., 2008). Busy primary care clinicians generally cannot devote much time to maintaining skills and knowledge in narrow topics applicable to the care of just a few patients. For example, comprehensive care of frail elders requires skill in recognizing subtle depression; differential diagnosis of delirium, frailty, and cognitive impairment; management of poly-pharmacy; and knowledge of gero-pharmacology. Primary care clinicians with many older patients may keep abreast of new developments in geriatrics, but clinicians serving a predominantly younger population may not. Similar issues arise for the care of patients with severe and persistent mental illness (Croghan and Brown, 2010), developmental disabilities, spinal cord injuries, and a host of other specific disabling conditions. Likewise, providing excellent palliative care requires its own specific knowledge base and competencies (AAHPM, 2009). Thus, accountability for the comprehensive care of patients with uncommon problems can pose a substantial professional burden and an additional barrier to delivering high-quality primary care.\nManaging the \u201cTyranny of the Urgent\u201d\n(Berenson, Hammons, Gans et al., 2008)\nCoordinated and comprehensive care of patients with complex needs is further challenged by new acute medical problems that these patients frequently present to primary care clinicians. The natural history of chronic illnesses common to complex patients includes increased risk of acute complications, fluctuations in symptoms from the underlying condition, and incremental progression to organ failure. Therefore, primary care clinicians are compelled to address these acute medical issues when they arise. However, the time, attention, and emotional energy spent by the providers and the patient on these acute medical problems distracts from other important (albeit less pressing) activities, such as updating needs assessments in nonmedical domains, talking with family caregivers, and coordinating long-term support and community-based services.\nFragmented Financing and Administration of Health and Social Services\nThe health and social service systems often have separate and distinct financing streams, delivery systems, professional training programs, eligibility rules, and terminology (Leutz, 1999). These divisions further complicate the ability of primary care clinicians to manage the full range of services used by patients with complex care needs. Depending on their income and level of disability, these patients may or may not be eligible for Medicaid and other programs for the aged and disabled, which can provide services not covered by Medicare or traditional private insurance. A variety of community-based organizations, such as Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) and community mental health programs, may provide access to needed resources for some patients with complex needs. Depending on the covered benefits and reimbursement policies of State Medicaid programs, including those provided through waivers, other services may be available to some patients. The fact that these support services are \u201csiloed\u201d by payer substantially increases the administrative burden on the practice that is trying to determine which patients are eligible for these services. This complexity challenges not only the primary care clinicians\u2019 ability to determine patient eligibility for services, but also the agencies\u2019 ability to interact effectively and efficiently with primary care clinicians.\nThe Special Issues of Smaller Practices\nOver three quarters of primary care clinicians in the United States work in practices of five or fewer physicians (Hing, 2006). In general, smaller practices have little \u201creserve capacity\u201d or flexibility to devote extra time to a new complex-needs patient or to a new set of comprehensive care challenges for an established patient. While larger medical groups may have more complicated governance, they can draw upon a greater number and breadth of personnel, sometimes including nurse practitioners, social workers, dietitians, pharmacists, and other health professionals who can assist in the management of some patients with complex needs. Larger practices can also permit (and even encourage) areas of special focus among primary care clinicians, allowing, for example, one to stay up-to-date on resources for people with severe mental illness and another on services for people with spinal cord injury. Additionally, the substantially greater population of patients served by larger practices increases the likelihood of a critical mass of complex-needs patients with shared conditions and requirements. For smaller practices, the diverse range of impairments afflicting complex patients and the relatively low prevalence of such cases can create serious challenges. While some PCPs address this challenge through adopting a focus on patients with particular conditions (for example, geriatrics and HIV medicine), most do not specialize this way or are located in communities without a sufficient number of patients of each type to make this model clinically appropriate or financially viable. Thus, small PCPs rarely have sufficient numbers of patients with similar complex needs to make efficient use of any extra investments to develop relevant expertise and capabilities. When combined with inadequate provider payment and complicated health insurance and social service eligibility rules, few small practices can build and maintain the full range of internal expertise needed to effectively serve diverse complex patients.\nExperience from the American Academy of Family Physicians\u2019 National Demonstration Project, one of the largest efforts to strengthen small PCPs, illustrates the challenges involved in transforming even highly committed small practices to provide better primary care for complex patients (Nutting et al., 2011).While the demonstration neither provided additional financial resources nor altered the underlying FFS system for participating practices, even the practices that had support from transformation facilitators were unable to put all of the basic components of a medical home in place during the 2-yeardemonstration. Virtually all practices had difficulty integrating with community services or working in teams. The authors contend that to keep patients from falling through the cracks in a highly fragmented system, small practices need a \u201chealth care neighborhood [to] coordinate and integrate care and eliminate the cracks.\u201d When one considers all of the medical care, social support, and home service providers that potentially comprise the health care neighborhood for complex patients, it is hard to imagine the unaided small primary care practice being able to identify and organize, much less keep track of all those needed services (Taylor, Lake, Nysenbaum, et al., 2011). Smaller PCPs will need additional resources and expertise to effectively coordinate and integrate care for complex-needs patients.\n4. Essential Elements of Care Coordination for Populations with Complex Needs\nIn a PCMH, the level of care coordination depends largely on the complexity of needs of each patient:\nAs complexity increases, the challenges involved in facilitating the delivery of appropriate care also increase, often exponentially. Factors that increase the complexity of care include multiple chronic or acute physical health problems, the social vulnerability of the patient, and a large number of providers and settings involved in a patient\u2019s care. Patients\u2019 preferences and their abilities to organize their own care can also affect the need for care coordination. For patients with uncomplicated care needs in ambulatory settings, primary care physicians may be able to coordinate care effectively as part of their routine clinical work. However, increasingly complex needs can overwhelm these informal or implicit coordinating functions, leading to the need for a care team to explicitly and proactively coordinate care (Meyers et al., 2010; emphasis added).\nOver the past 40 years, a variety of innovative care coordination programs have been developed and tested for these patient populations with complex needs. Numerous trials, pilot programs, and demonstration shave produced consensus on the basic elements of coordinated care and case management3 for them: (1)comprehensive needs assessment, (2) individualized care planning, (3) facilitating access to needed services, and (4) communication and monitoring (Leutz, 1999; Nolte and McKee, 2008; Boult and Wieland, 2010). In describing each of these components of care coordination, we discuss the potential challenges faced by small PCPs in trying to deliver patient-centered primary care for patients with complex needs.\nConduct and Regularly Update a Comprehensive Needs Assessment\nCare coordination for complex patients starts with a comprehensive assessment of each individual\u2019s need for health and social supports. This involves much more than a standard medical history and complete physical examination. In addition to evaluation of medical diagnoses and the traditional family and social history, a comprehensive assessment should note how individuals function in their daily lives and with their family and other social supports. This assessment should also clarify the patient\u2019s preferences regarding community participation and goals for care. The purpose of this comprehensive assessment is to identify all care needs and preferences of both the patient and the caregivers that can be used to formulate the individualized care plan. Primary care clinicians, in conjunction with other providers involved in the patient\u2019s care, should periodically update this information, including when new medical problems or other changes in health or functional status arise. Ensuring complete assessment of each of these domains often requires a multidisciplinary team of health and mental health professionals, as well as social workers and therapists, depending on individual circumstances. For many, including the most complex patients, needs assessments may also have to include direct assessment of the home environment, which can determine the feasibility of care plans and identify adaptations necessary to accommodate an individual\u2019s need for assistance with daily living activities (Boult and Wieland, 2010).\nClearly, comprehensive needs assessment is much more than most primary care clinicians presently have the training or resources to perform. For example, the medical and social support service needs of an 80-year-old patient with diabetes, double amputation, and renal failure are quite different from those of a 55-year-old woman with diabetes, schizophrenia, and neuropathy. Moreover, the knowledge, skills, and tools needed to assess the value of various long-term support services for these specific complex patients will be quite different from those a primary care clinician employs to diagnose the neuropathy or manage renal disease. In many cases, developing such a comprehensive assessment requires teamwork between the primary care practice team and those outside of the primary care setting, such as home health nurses, social workers, and caregivers.\nDevelop and Update an Individualized Care Plan\nA care plan tailored to the patient\u2019s needs and based on the comprehensive assessment forms the foundation for care coordination efforts. Patients, their families, and the care team should jointly create this plan. Ideally, it should reflect current and long-term needs and goals for care; specify the types and frequency of all planned health, rehabilitation, and mental health treatments, medications, home care services and supports, and other services; identify who is responsible for providing each service; and flag any critical issues that trigger a need to revise the plan. In addition, the process of developing the care plan should involve the individual\u2014and family members if appropriate\u2014to ensure that it reflects their values and preferences. Additionally all members of the care team, including the patient, should have easy access to the plan.\nEven primary care clinicians trained to conduct comprehensive assessments of complex patients (such as geriatricians and geriatric nurse practitioners) will often need additional knowledge and resources to develop a realistic care plan for a specific patient with complex illness. The typical PCP does not determine which services someone with a specific disability may qualify for, through private health or disability insurance or public programs, so they may not be aware of the available benefits. Family or other informal caregivers can also serve the needs of patients with complex illness, and their roles should be included in the care plan. Thus, to develop an adequate care plan, the medical home for these patients would need to devote the time and expertise to include family caregiving, reflecting cultural issues and family dynamics at play for each patient. Furthermore, a realistic care plan for complex-needs patients should reflect the physical setting of the patient\u2019s home as well as that individual\u2019s ability to access needed services.\nFacilitate Access to Medical Care and Home and Community-Based Serv-ices and Supports\nComplex populations often have conditions and needs that require a multitude of health and long-term services and supports, so care coordination requires attention to a broader set of services than is typically offered by most PCPs. These services include assistive technology and durable medical equipment, ranging from canes and commodes to motorized wheelchairs, to provide mobility and independence. Frequently, if individuals have disabilities that prevent them from performing activities of daily living, they might need hands-on help in the form of physical therapy, personal care assistance, transportation inaccessible vans to get to medical appointments or shop for groceries, and home-delivered meals. In addition, they often need help accessing public benefit programs, such as Medicaid or food stamps.\nAssuming all of this\u2014the comprehensive needs assessment, determining eligibility for public and private benefits, and selecting appropriate and accessible vendors\u2014is done well, someone must arrange and facilitate receipt of these services. This poses another challenge to the small practice wanting to provide comprehensive primary care services to complex patients. Even if practice staff members can correctly determine what services are needed and whether the patient is eligible for benefits, they must find providers willing and able to deliver the services. Primary care clinicians already struggle to coordinate care within the traditional medical care infrastructure (Taylor, Lake, Nysenbaum et al., 2011; Pham, O\u2019Malley, Bach et al., 2009). When trying to fulfill medical home responsibilities for complex-needs patients, they face the additional challenge of navigating the social service system and referral processes. In many cases, it is also difficult to obtain payer authorization and timely appointments with other providers. In addition, the burden of repeatedly documenting a patient\u2019s ongoing need for these services, often on a monthly basis, strains the primary care clinician and team even further.\nSome patients with complex illness have frequent life-threatening complications; others are in the final stages of illness. These patients may benefit from advance care directives and may need help getting appropriate palliative care, hospice, or other end-of-life services. Primary care clinicians are often expected to facilitate the conversations necessary for patients and families to make difficult decisions about requesting such services. Patients with complex illness often require an extensive array of ongoing medical services as well, including not only primary care visits but ongoing specialized medical care (for example, chemotherapy or dialysis), mental health services, physical or occupational therapy, or skilled nursing care. Exacerbated illnesses will expand this range of services to specialized consultations, diagnostic centers, and possibly acute care hospitals and skilled nursing facilities. Thus, the extent of medical care coordination needs for complex patients can present a daunting challenge to primary care practices.\nRegularly Monitor and Communicate\nLast, but perhaps most important, effective care coordination can be accomplished only through regular monitoring of the patient\u2019s health status, needs, and services, and through frequent communication and the free exchange of information. It often requires multiple modes of communication (in person, by phone, or in writing) and increasingly depends on the effective use of electronic tools (for example, remote physiologic monitoring, electronic data acquisition and reminders, networked electronic health records (EHRs), patient education modules, and informed decision making tools). While the frequency of communication depends on a variety of factors, it must occur at several levels: (1) between health care professionals and patients and their families to ensure they understand the care plan and their responsibility for self care, and any help, such as respite care, that is available; (2) within teams of health and social service professionals; and (3) across the entire care spectrum, particularly when individuals transfer between care settings (for example, hospital, rehabilitation facility, nursing home, or community residence). If care is to be coordinated effectively, all communication must be timely, and it must include the information that each team member must know in order to provide care that is congruent with a patient\u2019s preferences without subjecting the team to information overload. Another key element involves monitoring and support for patient adherence to therapy and other elements of self care.\nMany small PCPs currently lack the information management capabilities needed for effective monitoring and communication for complex patients. There are already widespread communication lapses just between medical specialists and primary care (O'Malley and Reschovsky, 2011; Chen, 2011) for regular patients without complex needs. Furthermore, the capabilities of current health information technology to solve this problem are quite limited (O\u2019Malley, 2011). In light of the numerous other additional caregivers involved, and the range of care plan elements to be monitored, medical homes face much greater challenges keeping track of all the services that may warrant follow up for complex patients.\n5. Strategies for Supporting Primary Care for Populations with Complex Needs\nAlthough the challenges of coordinating services and supports for patients with complex needs are many, there are several programs around the country that illustrate promising approaches for supporting and collaborating with PCPs serving them. We focused on programs that have experience working with smaller, independent PCPs because they let patients maintain existing relationships with primary care clinicians while giving PCPs extra resources to manage the greater needs of complex-needs patients. This section describes five of these programs and explains the different approaches they use to support and collaborate with smaller primary care practices in providing coordinated health and social services to complex-needs patients. In Figure 2 we explain our approach to identifying and selecting the five programs. Detailed information about the approaches used by each program is provided in Tables 1-3.\nThrough searches of published and \u201cgrey\u201d literature, recommendations from a technical expert panel (selected for their expertise in medical home policy, aging and disability services, end-of-life care, financing, small practice environments, and advocacy on behalf of people with disabilities), and conference presentations, we identified more than 20 promising programs serving complex-needs patients. We selected programs that met four criteria: (1) serve frail elderly or adults with disabilities; (2) work with a variety of relatively small primary care practice (PCP) sites, defined as fewer than 10 primary care clinicians; (3) coordinate care across medical and social service systems, though this can be done differently\u2014for example, care coordinators employed by the practice, by the program, or through a team of individuals in the practice and the program; and (4) have been operating for several years.\nWe obtained background information about the programs from published articles, descriptions such as those in the AHRQ Innovations Exchange, and program Web sites. We then conducted short discussions with program leaders to gather information about their experiences and the lessons learned in working with small and medium-sized PCPs. The interviews covered four major topics: (1) the organizational structure, staffing, and processes used to support PCPs in providing care that meets PCMH standards; (2) strategies for overcoming challenges that typically prevent PCPs from effectively serving complex patients, such as availability of funds to support the extra time and resources to care for them; (3) factors that facilitate effective care coordination and linkages between medical and social services; and (4) policies or practice supports that would enable more PCPs striving to be patient-centered medical homes to effectively serve complex-needs patients.\nFigure 2 explains the approach used to identify the five programs the study examined.\nProgram Sponsors, Participating PCPs, and Populations Served\nThe five selected programs are sponsored by different types of organizations (Table 1):\nA nonprofit, physician-led practice support organization with regional branches (Community Care of North Carolina).\nA State health or Medicaid agency (Minnesota Health Care Homes).\nA large, integrated health system (Summa Health System in Ohio) with a geriatrics program (Center for Senior Health) that provides many services and programs to frail elderly patients.\nTwo nonprofit health plans (Commonwealth Care Alliance in Massachusetts and Community Health Partnership in Wisconsin).\nThe number of participating primary care practices in each program varies from about one dozen in Summa Health System\u2019s program to more than 1,400 in Community Care of North Carolina (Table 3).\nMost of these programs are partnerships among several organizations, including public payers, such as State Medicaid and sometimes Medicare (through Medicare Advantage Special Needs Plans or Medicare demonstration programs), nonprofit or for-profit private health plans, and various community agencies.\nAll five programs serve patients who are disabled and have multiple chronic conditions and/or behavioral health problems (Table 1). Three of the five programs serve people who are eligible for Medicaid only or both Medicaid and Medicare (dual eligible\u2019s). The other two programs\u2014Minnesota Health Care Homes and Summa Health System\u2014serve people with any type of health insurance, and finance program operations and pay physicians for care coordination using either State funds and payments by all health plans (as in Minnesota), or State Medicaid and grant funds (as Summa Health System does). The predominance of Medicaid-eligible individuals and Medicaid financing for these programs is due to a few factors: (1) complex-needs populations tend to be older, have disabilities, and are poor, which makes them more likely to qualify for Medicaid than those without such characteristics; and (2) Medicaid was among the first payers to explicitly recognize the need to compensate PCPs for the additional time and resources required to adequately care for complex-needs populations.\nApproaches to Care Coordination and Case Management\nCase Manager Arrangements\nThree of the five programs\u2014Commonwealth Care Alliance (CCA) in Massachusetts, Community Care of North Carolina (CCNC), and Community Health Partnership (CHP) of Wisconsin\u2014provide or contract for case management staff to work in or with PCPs to coordinate care for patients (Table 1).Summa Health System uses case management resources in three of its programs\u2014the After Discharge Care Management of Low-Income Frail Elderly (AD-LIFE) trial, Promoting Effective Advanced Care for Elderly (PEACE) trial, and SAGE partnership programs 4\u2014by arranging for local Area Agency on Aging(AAA) case managers to organize long-term services and supports and to meet with Summa Health System geriatrics and palliative care medical staff in order to coordinate health and social services. Minnesota\u2019s Health Care Homes (HCH) requires PCPs seeking State Health Home certification to identify staff within the practice responsible for care coordination, with flexibility in how this standard can be fulfilled. 5 In all five programs, a variety of professionals with different types and levels of training serve as care coordinators or case managers, including physicians, advanced practice nurses, registered nurses, licensed mental health counselors, and social workers. Many programs also use nonprofessional community health workers in case management teams.\nCase Management Resources and Caseloads\nThere is significant variation in how case managers are shared with PCPs across and within each program, and in average case manager caseloads (Table 2). Some of this variation reflects the funding and resources available, and some reflects differing complexity or severity of the patients in the practice who receive case management. For example, primary care nurse practitioners or nurse case managers in the CCA program typically have caseloads of 40 to 65 patients, a smaller ratio than the others, because most patients in its Senior Care Options (SCO) program are dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid, as well as nursing home eligible, so their health and social support needs are relatively high. By contrast, North Carolina Community Care Network case managers have much higher caseloads (one to 4,000), although only about 5 to 8 percent (200 to 300) of the 4,000 individuals receive intensive case management, and only a few are nursing home eligible (those who are would be enrolled in the State\u2019s home and community-based services [HCBS] waiver case management program).\n\u201cA lot of the services that [case managers] connect patients to are low technology solutions that have a high payoff. For example, we had an asthma patient who kept coming back to the emergency room, and it turned out that she had a problem getting transportation to the pharmacy to fill her medications. The case manager helped her work out a way to get her medications so that she didn\u2019t end up in the ER.\u201d\u2014Dr. Robert Rich, Cape Fear Valley Medical Center\n(a CCNC provider)\nAllocation of Case Managers to PCPs\nWhen deciding how to allocate case management staff and what types of professionals to engage with the PCPs, program leaders almost universally stressed the importance of flexibility in matching staff and resources to the needs and culture of each PCP. Hence, the number of case managers and whether they are shared among several PCPs or dedicated to just one PCP depends on the size of the practice, the types and roles of staff already employed in the practice, and the number of complex patients in the PCP panel (see Table 2). For example, CCA develops a staffing plan based on assessment of the patient mix, including the number of nursing-home-certifiable patients, ambulatory patients, and other characteristics. In North Carolina, regional Coordinated Care Networks stratify the practices\u2019 patients based on prior health care use patterns and patient-level data to identify those who need the most supports. Some practices have such a large number of complex-needs patients who require intensive case management services that the regional network assigns one or more case managers directly to the practice.\nTeams. Case managers in all five programs strive to work with at least some local PCP leadership and staff in teams to share all relevant information about patient needs, preferences, and circumstances when developing care plans. Several program leaders said they judge the success of their case managers or care coordinators by the degree to which they are accepted and integrated into the PCP. For example, CCA creates multidisciplinary teams, using its own clinical staff and that of the PCP to perform comprehensive health and social assessments, provide enhanced primary care, and develop individualized care plans. For patients who are eligible for nursing home care, a nurse practitioner often heads the team and has responsibility for first response and home visits. In this way, nurse practitioners extend the primary care team, providing \u201cenhanced\u201d primary care outside of the clinic setting. CCA also has team members specializing in geriatric social work, behavioral health care, and palliative care available for consultation. According to one CCA staff member, \u201cWe consider our program successful when everyone at the practice views our external team members as internal to the practice. We employ and deploy resources, but it requires leadership from the practice and CCA program directors to ensure the CCA team is integrated into the practice.\u201d\nA physician leader of one PCP in North Carolina said, \u201cThe case managers are physically in our practice, sitting down the hall, and available to answer questions. They interact with the physicians and with the network staff and practice consultants to jointly determine what support or services are needed to lower inappropriate utilization.\u201d One of the regional networks in CCNC added, \u201cWe want our care managers embedded in practices. We want the care management staff integrated into the team so that care managers are seen as an extension of the health care team. We push for full integration so that care managers can gain ready access to patient records and provide real-time consultations.\u201d\nThe team-building process is not without tensions, however, and several programs noted the challenges of bringing disparate providers together. For example, in Minnesota, community agencies that have long been providing case management to older adults and people with disabilities expressed concern that if the primary care practices participating in HCH are paid for care coordination, the community agencies will lose the funding they receive to coordinate care for these individuals. A program official said they deal with this concern by \u201ctrying to reassure and remind everyone that the goal is to move care coordination closer to the patient and the doctor.\u201d CHP in Wisconsin described variable relationships with the several large health systems managing practices in their region. They noted these systems \u201c\u2026 shouldn\u2019t reinvent the wheel. They should go out and see if there are existing programs like ours that they might engage with\u2026 [and] work with existing partners who are already working to tackle the problem.\u201d\nOther Support to PCPs in Managing Care for Complex Populations\nIn addition to providing case management staff, four of the five programs dedicated considerable resources to support practices by helping them reorganize workflow and systems, conducting home assessments, and providing tools to enhance PCP capacity to assure continuous access and ensure care coordination. The range of additional supports to PCPs included 24/7 call lines for patients to complement or substitute for the practice\u2019s after-hours coverage; recommendations on (or provision of) EHR systems, Web-based health information technology (IT) registries, and referral tracking systems; and support in review and analysis of service utilization and quality indicators for the PCP patient panel. Some also facilitated ready access to geriatrics or mental health consultation. The Minnesota Department of Health makes small grants (up to $5,000) available to small practices to help them meet the State\u2019s HCH standards; clinics have used the funds for registries, care planning, and patient-engagement initiatives, among other things.\nIn exchange for these supports, most programs have corresponding requirements for participating PCPs, such as expectations regarding PCMH certification, health IT infrastructure, and participation in quality reviews.\nEHRs/Health IT\nEHRs and other health IT are important tools for case management and care coordination. They enable teams to record and share information on many different aspects of patient needs and service use including: (1) results from needs assessments for different domains (health, medications, home environment, social support, and family caregiver); (2) referrals and results from lab and radiologic tests, specialty consults, and home health and other community-based care; (3) real-time monitoring of such critical events as hospital admissions and ER visits that trigger a need for follow up; (4) prompts and reminders regarding visits and preventive care; (5) decision-support tools for complex patient care, such as clinical care paths and guidelines; and (6) community resources lists.\nThough each of the five programs report that they and their providers use EHRs, three programs (CCA, Minnesota HCH, and CCNC) require PCPs to use an EHR system that feeds information to the overarching program as a term of participation (see Table 2). These systems allow the program to readily access provider-level data on cost, utilization, and outcomes, which are then used to identify and direct services to high-need, high-cost users. The Minnesota program\u2019s certification standards for PCPs require each one to have an electronic and searchable patient registry. The program Web site provides a list of low- and no-cost registries for PCPs to select. Unrelated to the program requirement, about 65 to 70 percent of all clinics in Minnesota already have an EHR system because State law requires clinics to meet health IT meaningful use criteria by 2015. Some clinics, however, do not use very advanced registry capabilities. Some practices use their registries to track referrals to social services; others do not.\nThe other programs reported that their providers and care coordinators used separate electronic systems but consider information-sharing an essential part of each program. At Summa Health System, providers operating on separate EHR systems overcome interoperability barriers by taking notes on a single patient record and communicating via email, phone, fax, and alpha-page (similar to text messaging). At CHP and Summa Health System, case managers accompany clients to clinic visits and discuss relevant case history with the provider, helping to provide the information that would otherwise be lost between separate electronic systems.\nAll of the programs emphasize quality improvement, and many use the EHR and data capabilities described above to report cost, quality, and utilization outcome measures to PCPs, program management, and patients (Table 1). For example, CCA collects data from the Web-based electronic medical records that its practices maintain, and meets every quarter with practice leaders to review and compare the practice\u2019s results on costs, service utilization, and quality indicators, such as 30-day hospital admission rates with those for SCO enrollees overall. They jointly identify areas to target for improvement and maintain a very collaborative approach toward practice improvement. In North Carolina, the State CCNC quality improvement staff helps practices use evidence-based guidelines to manage their populations and measure performance through a wide array of patient health measures. Through the Quality Measurement and Feedback program, the networks collect Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) measure data for Medicaid enrollees from claims data and chart audits, and audit each practice once a year to compare its outcomes to State averages. 6 Minnesota has separate statewide health improvement and quality reporting systems; for example, it contracts with Minnesota Community Measurement, which posts quality scores and data aggregated by clinic on a public Web site at http://www.mnhealthscores.org. The State also applied for the AHRQ Impact Grant, which would provide funds to facilitate quality improvement in small and medium-sized clinics.\nAlthough there is some variation in certification standards, three of the five programs use National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) or State-specific NCQA-like standards to determine whether practices are using PCMH processes (Table 2). Minnesota, for example, requires their participating practices to demonstrate annually that they meet the State\u2019s minimum certification standards, which go beyond those of NCQA by requiring: informed consent, patient inclusion and shared decision making, dedicated staff time for care coordination, routine face-to-face communication between clinicians and care coordinators, patient follow up discussions and planning, collaboration with community-based organizations and public health resources, audits of effective care coordination, participation in a learning collaborative, and a structure for an in-house quality improvement team. 7 Summa Health System currently uses NCQA standards and is considering seeking Accountable Care Organization (ACO)certification.\nThree of the programs sponsored team-based quality improvement through peer-to-peer learning and in-person meetings, though their breadth and intensity varies. CCNC uses a hierarchical approach that provides technical assistance to the network staff, who then sponsor peer-to-peer learning for PCPs in their network. Minnesota sponsors a learning collaborative in which PCPs meet with each other to share strategies for implementing medical home criteria and improving care. Summa Health System also facilitates shared learning through monthly, in-person meetings during which skilled nursing facilities, palliative care specialists, geriatricians, home care providers, care coordinators, and community agencies identify ways to improve transitions of care. Recently, the disparate agencies worked together to design a post-acute-care transfer form with fields for the information that each agency needs to receive a new patient, helping ensure that critical information is not lost or delayed when a patient transfers settings.\nPayment to PCPs for Care Coordination\nIn most cases, programs serving patients with complex needs pay physicians to participate in care coordination activities (see Table 3). Payment helps both in the recruitment of PCPs and at least partially compensates the practice for the additional time and resources involved in team-based care. Two of the five programs studied\u2014those in North Carolina and Minnesota\u2014pay per member per month (PMPM)fees to PCPs to compensate them for the time spent in coordinating care for complex-needs patients, meeting with case managers, and participating in quality improvement activities. CCA is paid risk-adjusted capitation rates from Medicare and Medicaid for those who enroll in its SCO managed care plan (a Medicare Advantage Special Needs Plan for dual enrollees). From these funds, CCA pays primary care clinicians and other providers on a full or partial capitation basis and shares savings with PCPs that accrue from avoided hospitalizations and nursing home admissions (Meyer, 2011). CCA also covers the cost of additional staff and other services to SCO enrollees from these savings. Summa Health System\u2019s program does not pay physicians for care coordination, although they did pay a one-time, per-patient fee to physicians in the intervention group of the AD-LIFE trial.\nThe monthly care coordination payment to PCPs in Minnesota varies by level of patient need. The State\u2019s Department of Health and Department of Human Services created a tiered payment tool to pay for care coordination (Minnesota Department of Health, 2010). Primary care clinics are required to assess and diagnose each patient using the tool and use a patient registry to identify patients who are the most complex. Patients are rated on scale of 0 to 4 (0 for those with no severe needs, 4 for those with the greatest number of diagnoses). PMPM fees are then scaled to the tiers, ranging from no payment for tier0, about $10 per month for tier 1, to about $61 per month for tier 4; this payment increases proportionately based on a patient\u2019s supplemental risk factors. The tiering system also takes into account mental and behavioral health, psychosocial needs, and language. In the Multi-Payer Advanced Primary Care Practice demonstration expected to begin in Minnesota in 2011, Medicare will pay rates similar to those of Medicaid, although private insurers and clinics are free to negotiate their own rates with providers.\nThe monthly PMPM care coordination payment in North Carolina is shared between the PCP and the regional support networks (Community Care Networks). CCNC pays physicians $5 PMPM for Medicaid aged, blind and disabled (ABD) beneficiaries (including dual eligible\u2019s), and half as much for nondisabled Medicaid adults and children. CCNC pays CCNs an additional $13.72 PMPM for ABD enrollees, which they use to cover the extra costs associated with embedding \u201ccare managers\u201d in practices, quality improvement activities, and new programs, such as palliative and transition-care initiatives that began in 2011. One of the physicians we interviewed said that $5 PMPM to coordinate care for ABD patients, or $60 a year, \u201cdoesn\u2019t even cover the cost of a single office visit. Care managers are definitely vital to keeping our costs down, but we are still losing money serving these patients, and many providers are shutting their doors to new Medicaid patients. At that rate, we have to coordinate care and provide services to complex patients on the backs of altruistic physicians (those willing to provide uncompensated care). It doesn\u2019t add up.\u201d\nCHP, in Wisconsin, tried compensating primary care clinicians for their care coordination work. In the past, CHP offered to pay PCPs $25 per month or $125 per care plan review for case management. Very few practices availed themselves of this opportunity, however, because they found it hard to incorporate it into their billing and reimbursement mechanisms. Evidently the payment amount and patient numbers did not justify the additional administrative effort required.\nLessons for Providing Care Coordination Support to PCPs\nThese programs offer several lessons about what motivates PCPs to become involved with and remain in programs that coordinate care for complex-needs patients. In addition, they indicate the types of adjustments that may be necessary to adapt these programs to different types of PCPs, and the range of organizations that might serve as sponsors.\nClinician and Practice Engagement\nMany program representatives stressed the importance of (1) directly engaging the primary care professionals and office staff in the practice and (2) providing sufficient flexibility to allow clinic teams to design the care coordination approach that works best for them. This point of view echoes a finding from research on what makes for effective case management and care coordination programs for patients with complex needs\u2014substantial engagement with primary care practices appears to be key to program success (Peikes, Chen, Schore et al., 2009). Both PCP engagement and flexibility appear to be critical for providing initial motivation to contemplate participating, as well as subsequent commitment to implement, care coordination programs. CCA, for example, typically takes 3 months up front to develop a shared understanding of the clinical model and obtain support and buy-in from all clinicians and staff in the practice. North Carolina program officials also highlight the importance of local provider engagement; all of the regional networks are led by physicians drawn from the local practices, and the State gives each regional network the flexibility to design its programs in ways that fit local circumstances. The Minnesota HCH program requires PCPs to identify professionals within the practice who are responsible for care coordination but allows flexibility regarding which staff to designate and how to organize the functions. The CHP program attempts to achieve PCP engagement by including the program nurse practitioner in each client\u2019s office visit. 8\nClinician Leadership\nMany program leaders emphasized that not only is engagement of clinical staff critical, clinician leadership is also essential for practice transformation (see Table 2, last row). It is so important that CCA sometimes asks the practice to identify a clinical \u201cchampion\u201d and then reimburses the practice for that person\u2019s time to develop the program. CCNC staff note that at the practice level, \u201cinnovation is facilitated by the physician leaders. We work with early innovators who are helping us drive change at the system level, and, generally, they are physicians who have intrinsically altruistic values and want to do a better job for their patients.\u201d Minnesota program officials agreed: \u201cIt\u2019s about having strong [effective] leadership. For example, one doctor in a small town has been working on clinic transformation for 4 to 5 years. Even though he says it takes a long time, there are benefits. He has been able to recruit new physicians to join the practice [even though it is in a small, rural/remote setting] and people will drive a long way to get their services.\u201d This experience suggests it might be more productive, at least initially, to target programs for complex populations to primary care practices that are already PCMHs, trying to meet PCMH standards, or otherwise have physician leaders actively engaged in PCP transformation.\nDirect Payment to PCPs\nSeveral program representatives said that one of their biggest challenges in getting practices involved was convincing physician leaders that the investment of time and resources is worthwhile. Advocates have acknowledged payment reform as an element of the PCMH, and medical home demonstrations typically include financial incentives offered by health plans, employers, and/or Federal and State-sponsored programs. Consequently, programs for complex-needs patients may need payment changes to engage practices and secure commitment from physician leadership to participate. Three of the programs make payments directly to the practice. A fourth program found that its payment method, which asked practices to bill for program services on a FFS basis, were administratively burdensome because it required too much work to adapt standard clinic billing systems. The fifth program found that providing access to external case managers to assist with these complex-needs patients was enough to achieve physician engagement, but only after offering a one-time fee that opened the door. Thus, the way payment to PCP sis structured must take into account the way practices currently bill, and whether changes are acceptable and feasible.\nSome primary care advocates have proposed that risk-adjusted capitated payments for primary care, when combined with certification requirements and performance measures, would provide the necessary incentives for PCPs themselves to hire staff and acquire resources needed to manage the care of complex-needs patients (Goroll, Berenson, Schoenbaum, et al., 2007). But the program leaders interviewed for this paper expressed skepticism that even larger practices could efficiently develop the necessary infrastructure and expertise to provide adequate care coordination for these types of patients. As previously noted, many PCPs find it difficult to achieve even basic PCMH standards focused on routine medical care. In light of this experience, it seems unlikely they could succeed unaided in conducting comprehensive patient and home assessment, engaging family caregivers, mastering community-based services and program eligibility rules, and finding local HCBS vendors. It is possible, however, that if payments were adequately risk-adjusted, small PCPs might pool resources to contract with local programs to help manage their complex-needs patients. Thus, the end result might be the same types of collaborative programs examined in this paper.\nPractice Size and Share of Complex-Needs Patients in Total Practice Panel\nLarger practices are more likely than smaller practices to hire dedicated nurses or social workers as case managers. According to a 2008 nationally representative survey of physicians, about one-third of all physicians used nurse managers to coordinate care for patients with chronic conditions, but this varied from 18 percent for physicians in one- or two-physician practices to 59 percent in group practices of 50or more physicians (Carrier and Reschovsky, 2009). Small practices with one or two physicians might have to share case-management staff across several practices.\nThere are different views on whether a certain threshold of complex patients in the practice is needed to make it feasible for PCPs to participate in these types of programs. From the practice support perspective, a minimum number of complex patients in the practice may be necessary to justify the investment of time in a given practice. The CCA, for example, says a critical mass of around 100 to 150 complex patients must be in the practice panel to make it worthwhile for CCA to invest its \u201cwrap-around\u201d services, such as intensive primary care enhancement clinical services and case management support. Dr. Robert Master explains that \u201cthese patients, although small in the share of total patients, consume a disproportionate amount of a practice\u2019s time, so they\u2019re more visible to practice leadership, which is why we find increasing receptivity for our approach to redesign.\u201d Minnesota has structured its program so that physician practices can adjust the level or intensity of care coordination to patient need, regardless of how many complex-needs patients are in the practice. CHP, in Wisconsin, perceives that practices with larger numbers of clients are more engaged with the nurse case managers and the care coordination of their patients.\nIn the North Carolina program, case managers are responsible for serving patients across several practices, but they say that their job is more challenging in rural communities, because of shortages of other health and social service providers, and also when they have to cover a greater geographical area. Minnesota program representatives described an innovative solution serving patients living in rural areas. Two small-town clinics that focus on frail elders and individuals with disabilities in group homes function almost as \u201cvirtual health care homes;\u201d the clinicians (physicians and nurse practitioners) visit the facilities where patients live (group homes and assisted living facilities) to provide primary care at least once a month, and they also provide care coordination between visits.\nCommunity Partners in Primary Care\nAs the programs featured in this paper show, organizations that can effectively help PCPs by organizing a \u201chealth care neighborhood\u201d for complex-needs populations must be highly committed and flexible, able to provide effective case management for patients with complex health conditions and social situations, and able to cross the boundaries between health and community-based long-term care systems (Meyers, Peikes, Genevro, et al., 2010). The organizational sponsors included health plans, State health departments and Medicaid agencies, a large regional integrated health system, and regional physician-led networks of care coordinators and quality improvement specialists.\nOther types of organizations that might fill this role may be found in the health system, such as hospitals and the types of large health care providers expected to sponsor ACOs. Minnesota officials, for example, attribute the success of some small clinics in attaining HCH certification to their ties to large health systems, which can offer this type of support. But not all large health systems have the physician leaders and management structure to collaborate effectively with small PCPs, nor do they routinely develop the needed linkages with community organizations to marshal case management and other resources. Consequently, large health systems that already engage or own smaller PCPs and have experience providing community-based care to complex-needs patients may be more equipped to provide the support required.\nPartners for small PCPs may also be found among community-based organizations with experience and expertise serving complex-needs populations, such as Area Agencies on Aging, independent living centers, and hospice agencies, which are located throughout the country. But as one physician told us, not all such agencies have the ability to bridge the divide between the health and social service systems: \u201cThey should have several boundary-spanners to make the partnership work, as well as a culture of innovation.\u201d In addition, not all of these community agencies have case managers who are skilled in coordinating care for patients with complex needs and know how to work as a team with PCPs. That is one of the strengths of an organization like CCA; it partners with the statewide aging service system and also has deep understanding of primary care practice. CCA\u2019s CEO said, \u201cWe have done it and lived it, and that allows us to understand our practice partners. Can long-term care or case management organizations transform primary care from the outside? I\u2019m not sure.\u201d\nAlternative Models for Providing Specialized Care Coordination to Patients with Complex Needs\nSome comprehensive, integrated care models for patients with complex needs rely on a closed panel of health professionals. For example, the Program for All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) is a fully integrated care program operating in 29 States. Each PACE program receives capitated Medicare and Medicaid payments to provide and coordinate health and long-term care services and supports to frail older adults. Several studies show that PACE programs maintain or even improve health and functioning at lower costs, while increasing patient and family satisfaction (National PACE Association, 2010; Beauchamp, Cheh, Schmitz, et al., 2008). However, the program may be better suited to people who do not already have a primary care clinician or do not want to continue with one. There are also local requirements, including patient volume, that affect the feasibility of PACE programs for small communities and rural settings. In addition, PACE programs have not to date focused on meeting the needs of working-age adults with disabilities.\nFederally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) participating in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services\u2019 (CMS\u2019s) Advanced Primary Care Practice demonstration offer another potential model. Over the3-year demonstration, CMS will pay a $6 PMPM care management fee in addition to its regular payments to help the FQHC cover the cost of transforming into a patient-centered medical home, as defined by National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) Level 3 standards. The demonstration will encourage FQHCs to implement electronic health records, help patients manage chronic conditions, and actively coordinate care for patients (CMS FQHC Demonstration Factsheet, 2011). While FQHCs are uniquely positioned to serve as safety net providers for many patients with complex needs, the demonstration pays only for each eligible Medicare beneficiary attributed to the practice and does not directly support care for working-age patients. As with the PACE model, relying on this approach to address the range of needs for most complex-needs patients would require expansion of the programs into communities and neighborhoods not currently served, and would require patients to switch to a different source of primary care.\nPrograms that specialize in comprehensive care of adults with specific types of disabilities represent a different model. For example, some programs have been developed to manage and coordinate the health, mental health, and social services needed by people with severe and persistent mental illness. Similarly, medical home models have been proposed for patients with specific conditions, ranging from heart failure to cancer (Heart Failure Society of America, 2010; Community Oncology Alliance, 2011). However, each of these specialized medical homes for patients with complex needs would need to develop all the previously described capabilities and competencies for accessible, coordinated, comprehensive care of the broad array of their patients\u2019 medical and social service needs. And they would need to have robust capabilities for managing multiple conditions or adjudicate transfers from one specialized medical home to another as new conditions arose or previous difficulties flared. Even if all of these problems could be resolved, assuring 24/7 access to competent, specialized medical homes for complex-needs patients in communities throughout the U.S. is not likely to be feasible.\n6. CONCLUSION AND THE PATH FORWARD\nTo achieve the promise of improved quality and reduced costs through primary care delivery by the PCMH, primary care clinicians and policymakers must take concerted steps to ensure that the model can address the needs of patients with complex health needs. Indeed, it is these patients\u2014people with multiple conditions and functional impairments using greater amounts and variety of health services in many settings and requiring long-term services and supports from community organizations\u2014for whom the PCMH may have the greatest benefits.\nBut to serve these challenging populations well, most small PCPs will need help in overcoming several substantial barriers. It is unrealistic to expect small PCPs already stretched for time and resources to address these barriers on their own. Compensation for the extra effort involved in caring for patients with complex needs is clearly important. However, even if these practices were given sizable additional payments for care of complex-needs patients, external expertise and ongoing community partnerships would likely be required to provide high-quality primary care.\nThe programs highlighted in this paper demonstrate that there are several organizational approaches to helping smaller PCPs surmount the barriers; these include providing staff, special expertise, and other resources to support primary care clinicians serving these populations. While their experiences offer insights regarding promising solutions and options, important differences exist in their program structure and operations. Thus, several areas remain for research on the most effective organizational and policy approaches for creating the needed partnerships between small PCPs and other community resources to serve complex-needs patients.\nPolicies and Strategies to Surmount Barriers to Serving Complex-Needs Patients in Small PCPs\n\u201cWe can\u2019t serve people who don\u2019t qualify for Medicaid (right now), but we can illustrate what effective care looks like when funding for all health and social services is combined into one payment that programs can use flexibly to meet each patient\u2019s needs.\u201d\u2014Bob Master, Commonwealth Care Alliance\nPCP Payment Reforms\nPCPs need compensation to offset their additional costs related to the care of complex-needs patients. Among the programs reviewed, CCA appears to pay the greatest amount, by paying a capitated rate for primary care services and sharing with PCPs a portion of savings for lower-than-expected utilization of costly health services. While several other programs have offered practices PMPM care coordination fees, they may not cover all the extra costs to the practice for care of complex-needs patients. Furthermore, private health insurers may be reluctant to pay primary care clinicians a separate fee to coordinate HCBS not covered by the individuals\u2019 health plan benefit. Federal rules governing Medicare Advantage managed care plans also limit payment for coordination of non covered social support services. Most leaders of the programs examined in this paper believe their organizational approaches to supporting primary care of complex patients can succeed only with a fundamental change in payment model. One said, \u201cWe can\u2019t bring value without global payment.\u201d Another program representative similarly said, \u201cThe care coordination function needs to be included in the patient\u2019s total care bill.\u201d Whether provided through capitation or modified FFS, PCMH payment strategies must address the substantial additional costs related to currently uncompensated activities involved in coordinating the care of patients with complex needs to ensure this model will successfully serve them.\nAugmenting Clinical Competence\nThe programs featured in this paper illustrate some different ways to support clinicians in PCPs who provide high quality clinical care to complex-needs patients. CCA and Summa Health System employ teams that offer geriatric consultation to PCPs. Several programs include mental health and other disability-specific clinicians to work in consultation with primary care clinicians. Most also employ advanced practice nurses with specialized expertise to conduct in-home assessments and relay the results to primary care clinicians to facilitate clinical decision making.\nOther types of resources could also augment primary care clinicians\u2019 competence in managing the care of complex-needs patients. In some cases, the primary care clinician for the complex-needs patient could efficiently provide care that meets high clinical standards if he or she had the time to obtain the additional information relevant to the patient\u2019s problem. In many other cases, with the right supporting resources (computer-based decision-support tools or ready access to telephone or video consultation, for example), the primary care clinician could address the problem without specialized referral. Unfortunately, in the current specialist-dominated, FFS-oriented health care system, there is not sufficient motivation for specialists to provide timely telephone advice to the primary care clinicians, much less to develop and implement more sophisticated consultative support technologies (or the incentives for primary care clinicians to use them). Some clinical or social support problems for complex-needs patients require so much advanced knowledge and skill that it will be more efficient to have that problem addressed by a specialized team member in the \u201cmedical neighborhood.\u201d Several programs described in this paper have developed mechanisms to support PCPs in this way, through ready access to either nurse practitioners or physicians with relevant specialized expertise.\nSystematic Quality Improvement\nMany small PCPs do not see a sufficient number of complex-needs patients to be able to discern internal opportunities for care improvement or to reliably compare the outcomes of their patients with those in other practices. However, the programs described here show that there are other ways to engage local primary care clinicians in systematic, population-based quality improvement efforts. North Carolina Community Care Networks involve physicians in regional quality improvement initiatives, based in part on their historical affiliations with Area Health Education Centers. Minnesota and Summa Health System sponsor peer-to-peer learning sessions that bring together primary care clinicians, care coordinators, community agencies, and other players to work toward a common goal of improving the care process. However, much untapped potential remains; most of the programs cannot interface directly with local PCPs\u2019 EHRs. Furthermore, since they do not support cross-provider EHRs, they cannot provide integrated clinical information, computerized reminders, or other computer-based clinical decision support to facilitate quality improvement for the care of complex-needs patients.\nExtra Resources to Manage the \u201cTyranny of the Urgent\u201d\nThe programs described here also provide some tangible resources to help primary care clinicians manage the urgent concerns of complex-needs patients. Several programs augment after-hours coverage, providing24/7 call service staffed by program nurses, sometimes with access to program patient records to facilitate effective triage over the telephone. For nonemergency problems, some program staff may provide in-home assessments as well. This support is not always tightly integrated with the existing practices\u2019 urgent care or after-hours services, however. And support for clinical assessment in the patient\u2019s home for urgent medical problems is not routine. In addition, these systems do not address the high level of competing demands generated by complex patients during the office visit for an acute care problem.\nManaging the care of patients with complex needs requires substantially more time and care coordination resources than more typical patients with chronic conditions. This is a tall order for most small practices, even those that meet the basic requirements for a medical home. Even with a fully integrated clinical information system organizing complex patient information across the \u201cmedical neighborhood,\u201d the current financing environment would have to change dramatically for small PCPs to afford to \u201cgo outside their walls\u201d to do home visiting and comprehensive assessment with individualized care planning, or to effectively coordinate with community-based long-term care providers. Accordingly, most of the programs described in this paper provide resources that are shared across several small practices. These shared resources include specially trained advance practice nurses and social workers available to help the small PCPs assess and plan care of their complex patients. These resources are different from the time-limited technical assistance that facilitates medical home transformation in many PCMH demonstrations (Highsmith and Berenson, 2011). The programs for complex patients share expert clinical staff (sometimes placed part-time or full-time within the practice) who conduct assessments, manage information exchange between PCPs and community agencies, and build partnerships with caregivers and social service organizations.\nResearch to Inform More Effective Ways of Financing and Organizing Support for PCPs Serving Patients with Complex Needs\nSeveral initiatives of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) promise greater funding and resources that might help small PCPs improve their capacity to deliver the full spectrum of primary care services to their patients (Figure 3). Several of these policies directly target complex-needs populations, and each of these initiatives raises some specific research questions relevant to the effectiveness of the policy in improving primary care for complex-needs patients. Furthermore, individually and collectively, these programs elicit some broader research questions as well.\nAmount of Payment to PCPs\nMany questions remain regarding the best approach to reforming payment in ways that will strengthen and enhance primary care for complex-needs patients. In recent years, several State Medicaid programs, commercial health plans (CareFirst Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Maryland, for example) and other private payers, as well as the Medicare program, have launched initiatives to promote and reward practices(through extra payment to primary care clinicians) that adopt PCMH standards. Clearly, effective care of complex-needs populations requires primary care practices to devote more professional time and other resources to them than to their less complicated patients. While the care coordination payments offered in programs discussed are relatively modest ($5 per month in one program), previous estimates by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) suggest much higher reimbursement may be needed to support medical home services for even moderately complex Medicare beneficiaries. One analysis estimated more than $100 per beneficiary per month for medical home services for Medicare patients with greater disease burden and higher predicted future costs to Medicare (those with a hierarchical condition categories [HCC] score greater than or equal to 1.6 [25 percent of beneficiaries]) 9 (Maxfield, Peikes, Shapiro et al., 2008). It was beyond the scope of this paper to determine how each example program targets complex patients for varying levels of care coordination and enhanced services. Also, it remains unclear how much payment is required to compensate PCMHs for the extra time and resources required to provide high-quality, appropriate care to patients with complex and varying needs, so these are critical research questions. In addition, it is important to determine how to structure payments to optimize PCP participation in comprehensive assessment, individualized care plans, consultation with patients and family members, facilitating access to health and social services, and coordinating care across settings and multiple providers.\nIn its guidance to State Medicaid agencies in the design of the new health home State Medicaid plan option, CMS emphasized States could use a \u201ctiered payment methodology that accounts for the severity of each individual\u2019s chronic conditions and the \u2018capabilities\u2019 of the designated provider, the team of healthcare professionals operating with the designated provider, or the health team\u201d (CMS, November 2010).Because States may structure these payment methods differently, an important part of the national evaluation of this program planned by CMS will be to measure the impact of differences in how such tiered payments are structured; how rates are adjusted for various health conditions, disabilities, and levels of severity; and whether payment incentives are made for desired outcomes. How best to blend practice payment with payment for external resource support is another important question. Clearly, under the right circumstances, local programs can provide care coordination staff, home assessments and monitoring, and other resources that offset some of the extra costs to primary care practices.\nImpact of Multi-Payer Strategies\nOther research questions concern how to align payment policy across the many payers responsible for financing care for complex-needs patients. Many such patients are eligible for Medicare and Medicaid, and a substantial number have private insurance coverage as well. Consequently, if more payers begin to compensate PCPs for care coordination, PCPs may have more resources to provide effective primary care to complex patients. But if each payer develops its own payment rates and methods, PCPs may have conflicting incentives or may not be able to serve patients with insurance plans that do not cover care coordination. For some PCPs, the administrative burden of sorting out these confusing plans may make them reluctant to participate in any of them. The ACA allows Medicare to participate in some state primary care home initiatives that are trying to align payment incentives for medical homes across all payers, including Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial insurance plans. Eight States were selected to participate in CMS\u2019s Multi-Payer Advanced Primary Care Program, including North Carolina and Minnesota. Officials in those States believe the demonstration will help increase the total revenue PCPs receive for coordinating care for Medicare beneficiaries. But many questions remain regarding the feasibility and sustainability of these initiatives and the potential impact on access to appropriately transformed medical homes for complex-needs patients.\n\u201cThe more we can get multiple payers to the table, the better. It\u2019ll be easier for practices to bill and sustain their care coordination efforts if all payers are paying for them. Practices find it hard to dedicate case management resources when Medicare only allows billing for certain types of codes, Medicaid has different codes, and private insurers don\u2019t even cover case management services.\u201d\u2014Chris Collins, Community Care of North Carolina\nOrganizational Models and Features\nAs discussed, a variety of organizational arrangements and sponsors exist for providing the infrastructure to support care coordination for patients with complex needs. These include health plans (both nonprofit and for-profit), State health departments and Medicaid agencies, regional integrated health systems, and regional physician-led networks of care coordinators. Other possibilities include Accountable Care Organizations and other community-based organizations, like Area Agencies on Aging or hospice agencies.\nIn view of the current diversity of organizational approaches, many questions arise regarding which arrangements will prove most effective and efficient in helping PCPs serve patients with complex needs. This research may need to take into consideration such characteristics as PCP size and focus, number of complex-needs patients in the practice panel, rural versus urban practice location, and current configuration of community resources. Research could compare care coordination characteristics, including the setting (health plan versus community organization, for example), approaches to comprehensive assessment and care planning (establishing when home visits are essential), intensity of care coordination, degree of care coordinator integration into the PCP, and different ways of engaging PCPs in team-based care. Several more subjective program features appear to be important as well, such as practice engagement, primary care clinician leadership and motivation, and program flexibility and collaboration. To be of practical use to payers interested in developing these models, and to providers seeking to replicate them, studies also should examine program structure and operations in detail, and determine what components are essential to their success and which can be adapted in response to different circumstances (Au, Simon, Chen et al., 2011). There is also an opportunity to develop appropriate and feasible performance metrics for decision makers. Finally, research is needed on approaches that are critical to the successful implementation of these strategies across a diversity of primary care practice types and locations.\nProfessional Competencies Required by Populations, Practices, and Programs\nPrimary care clinicians vary considerably in their original clinical training relevant to the care of complex-needs populations, as well as the competencies they have acquired through the ongoing care of patients prevalent in their practices. Furthermore, different programs currently employ different types of clinical experts and could deploy into PCPs various combinations of onsite and remote human and computer-based resources. Academic health centers could have their own special role to play, providing regional resources to support primary care-based management of specific complex conditions (Arora, Thornton, Murata et al., 2011). Thus, for any given mix of complex-needs patients in a community, a variety of approaches may be available to provide clinicians the knowledge and skills required to optimize primary care. While it is clear that a team of professionals with a broad range of skills is needed to efficiently and effectively provide primary care for patients with complex needs, a host of research questions remain regarding the optimal training of the relevant professionals, both in their individual disciplines and ineffective collaboration in medical home teams. Other research questions relate to the proper deployment and support of these distinct professions, both in the practice and in the community, to achieve integrated are.\nPatients with complex health care needs may represent the greatest challenge to transforming existing primary care practices into high-functioning medical homes, and they also represent one of the greatest opportunities for this transformation to make a dramatic impact on cost and quality. There are a variety of promising strategies to help PCPs serve these populations through a supportive medical neighborhood knitting together social services and supports with specialized expertise in relevant areas, such as mental health, disability, and geriatrics. These approaches provide skilled care coordinators as a shared resource and often also compensate the primary care clinicians for their time spent \u201cin-between the progress notes.\u201d Integrated clinical information systems, clinical decision support, and additional resources to support enhanced access (including home visits) are often part of these as well. Health care payment and delivery reforms hold the potential to expand these strategies to PCPs in communities across the United States, but concerted effort and attention is needed to ensure they do not leave the most vulnerable and challenging patients behind. Additional research would help to clarify the optimal strategies and policies to ensure that high quality primary care services are more widely available to these patients.\nFigure 3. How the Affordable Care Act can support adoption of patient-centered medical homes\nFederal health reform legislation enacted in 2010 authorized several new programs that, if adequately funded and implemented effectively, could provide opportunities to support greater adoption of the principles of patient-centered medical homes (PCMH) by primary care practices (PCPs) and facilitate collaboration between them and community organizations in coordinating health with long-term services and supports for complex populations. Programs marked with an asterisk (*) have been authorized but not funded as of October 2011.\nCommunity-based health teams (Section 3502).* These teams will support medical homes based at small physician practices by providing preventive care and health promotion activities, 24-hour care management and support following hospital discharge, and data collection and reporting on patient out-comes. In return, the contracted primary care providers must develop a care plan for each patient, make patient health records available to the teams, and meet regularly with other providers to coordinate and integrate care.\nPCMHs for high-need individuals (Section 3024). Starting in 2012, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will begin the Independence at Home Demonstration to test an alternative PCMH model in which physician- and nurse practitioner-directed primary care teams provide services inpatients\u2019 homes. The demonstration will serve Medicare beneficiaries with multiple chronic illnesses who live in high-cost service areas.\nCommunity-based Collaborative Care Networks (Section 2534).* Modeled on North Carolina\u2019s Community Care Networks, this section would award grants to State and local governments, health centers, and other entities to provide primary care services and outreach in medically underserved communities.\nPrimary Care Extension Centers (Section 5405).* To be managed by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, these centers are modeled on agricultural extension centers and regional extension centers for health information technology (IT). Health extension agents would be hired to help primary care providers incorporate the principles of the PCMH, link them and their patients to community health and social services, adopt evidence-based medicine, and incorporate into their practices non-acute care services, such as chronic disease management and mental and behavioral health services.\nIncreased Medicare and Medicaid payment rates. Starting in 2011, the Affordable Care Act (ACA)authorized Medicare to pay a bonus of 10 percent to primary care clinicians for certain types of services, such as home visits. Starting in 2013, all States are required to increase Medicaid rates paid to primary care clinicians to match Medicare rates; some States already do so.\nMedicaid Health Homes (Section 2703). Starting in 2011, all States will have an opportunity to obtain 90 percent Federal funding to develop Medicaid \u201chealth homes\u201d for patients with chronic conditions. The law defines these as teams of primary care clinicians, nurse practitioners, or physician assistants who work with other health care professionals to provide comprehensive care management, care coordination and health promotion, transitional care between hospital and primary care, referral to community and social services, patient and family engagement, and use of IT to link services. CMS recognized that many States had already adopted medical home programs, so the health home option was designed to \u201cexpand the traditional medical home models to build linkages to other community and social supports, and to enhance coordination of medical and behavioral health care, in keeping with the needs of persons with multiple chronic illnesses\u201d(emphasis added, CMS State Medicaid Director Letter, 2010).\nMedical Loss Ratio requirements (Sections 158.150-151). The ACA requires issuers to meet a Medical Loss Ratio of 80-85 percent, depending on the market. These dollars can be spent on \u201creimbursement for clinical services provided to enrollees\u201d or \u201cfor activities that improve health care quality.\u201d\nSource: Abrams MK, Nuzum R, Mika S, et al.

However, this paper focuses on care for those living in home and community-based residences. 1\n2. The American Community Survey is representative of the U.S. civilian non institutional population and defines disability as a serious difficulty in one of six capacities: hearing; seeing; concentrating, remembering, or making decisions; walking or climbing stairs; dressing or bathing; doing errands alone. 2\n3. This paper uses the terms \u201ccase management\u201d and \u201ccase manager\u201d because they have been regularly used to encompass the functions described in Section IV (assessment, care planning, facilitating access, and communication with providers). \u201cCare management\u201d or \u201ccare manager\u201d is used when practices and programs described their case managers or care coordination activities using that term. 3\n4. The SAGE Partnership is a 15-year collaborative partnership between Area Agency on Aging 10B, Inc. and Summa Health System\u2019s Institute for Senior and Post Acute Care. The partnership laid the foundation for the AD-LIFE and PEACE research trials and actual case management integration. The AD-LIFE trial is funded through AHRQ Grant # R01 HS014539. The PEACE trial is funded by a grant from the National Palliative Care Research Center. 4\n5. Minnesota Health Care Home standards require primary care clinics to have a dedicated care coordinator who serves as a liaison between providers, patients, and their families as well as between the health care home and community resources. This person is responsible for: developing a plan for communication among the care team, patient, and family; performing post-discharge and transition planning and monitoring; providing referrals to specialists; and communicating test results. The practice must also link patients to community-based organizations and public health resources, such as disability and aging services, social services, transportation services, and home health care services. 5\n6. An overview of chart review measures with references to organizations that endorse similar standards, is available at http://www.communitycarenc.org/elements/media/related-downloads/overview-of-chart-review-measures.pdf. 6\n7. A crosswalk of the NCQA and MN Health Care Home certification standards is available at http://www.health.state.mn.us/healthreform/homes/certification/CertificationAssessmentTool_100423.doc.7\n8. Insufficient practice staff engagement and less intensive patient management appeared to explain why a similar approach designed to improve outcomes for older adults did not have measurable benefits. Developed by Dr. Edward H. Wagner and his colleagues at Group Health Cooperative of Puget Sound, the model aimed to address the lack of primary care clinician training in geriatrics by embedding a \u201cSenior Resource Team\u201d into PCPs. The team included a geriatrician, a gerontological nurse practitioner, and a pharmacist with specialized geriatric training. According to Dr. Wagner, \u201cEven though the geriatric team was just down the hall, the kind of formal consultation that we had in mind didn\u2019t happen very often.\u201d He believed that the more intensive approach used by geriatric evaluation and management (GEM) units, which take over care for a period of time, may be more effective.

The estimate was developed during the design of the Medicare Medical Home Demonstration incorporating cost estimates from the Relative Value Update Committee (RUC). CMS subsequently decided not to pursue implementation of that Demonstration, and instead test the PCMH model in the Multi-payer Advanced Primary Care Practice Demonstration and the Federally Qualified Health Centers Advanced Primary Care Practice Demonstration. CMS also plans to test the PCMH model under the CMS Innovation Center.

        "raw_content": "*Scroll to the bottom of the page to view our interactive map highlighting areas within Peach County that fall in Opportunity Zones.\nA. An Opportunity Zone is an economically-distressed community where new investments, under certain conditions, may be eligible for preferential tax treatment. Localities qualify as Opportunity Zones if they have been nominated for that designation by the state and that nomination has been certified by the Secretary of the U.S. Treasury via his delegation of authority to the Internal Revenue Service.\nQ. How were Opportunity Zones created?\nA. No, they are new. The first set of Opportunity Zones, covering parts of 18 states, were designated on April 9, 2018. Opportunity Zones have now been designated covering parts of all 50 states, the District of Columbia and five U.S. territories.\nA. Opportunity Zones are designed to spur economic development by providing tax benefits to investors. First, investors can defer tax on any prior gains invested in a Qualified Opportunity Fund (QOF) until the earlier of the date on which the investment in a QOF is sold or exchanged, or December 31, 2026. If the QOF investment is held for longer than 5 years, there is a 10% exclusion of the deferred gain. If held for more than 7 years, the 10% becomes 15%. Second, if the investor holds the investment in the Opportunity Fund for at least ten years, the investor is eligible for an increase in basis of the QOF investment equal to its fair market value on the date that the QOF investment is sold or exchanged.\nQ. What is a Qualified Opportunity Fund?\nA. A Qualified Opportunity Fund is an investment vehicle that is set up as either a partnership or corporation for investing in eligible property that is located in a Qualified Opportunity Zone.\nA. No. You can get the tax benefits, even if you don\u2019t live, work or have a business in an Opportunity Zone. All you need to do is invest a recognized gain in a Qualified Opportunity Fund and elect to defer the tax on that gain.\nQ. I am interested in knowing where the Opportunity Zones are located. Is there a list of Opportunity Zones available?\nA. Yes. The list of designated Qualified Opportunity Zones can be found at Opportunity Zones Resources and in the Federal Register at IRB Notice 2018-48. Further a visual map of the census tracts designated as Qualified Opportunity Zones may also be found at Opportunity Zones Resources [link].\nQ: What do the numbers mean on the Qualified Opportunity Zones list, Notice 2018-48?\nA: The numbers are the population census tracts designated as Qualified Opportunity Zones.\nQ: How can I find the census tract number for a specific address?\nA: You can find 11-digit census tract numbers, also known as GEOIDs, using the U.S. Census Bureau\u2019s Geocoder. After entering the street address, select ACS2015_Current in the Vintage drop-down menu and click Find. In the Census Tracts section, you\u2019ll find the number after GEOID.\nQ. I am interested in forming a Qualified Opportunity Fund. Is there a list of Opportunity Zones available in which the Fund can invest?\nA. Yes. The list of designated Qualified Opportunity Zones in which a Fund may invest to meet its investment requirements can be found at Notice 2018-48.\nQ. How does a corporation or partnership become certified as a Qualified Opportunity Fund?\nA. To become a Qualified Opportunity Fund, an eligible corporation or partnership self-certifies by filing Form 8996, Qualified Opportunity Fund, with its federal income tax return. Early-release drafts of the form and instructions are posted, with final versions expected in December. The return with Form 8996 must be filed timely, taking extensions into account.\nQ: Can a limited liability company (LLC) be an Opportunity Fund?\nA: Yes. A LLC that chooses to be treated either as a partnership or corporation for federal tax purposes can organize as a Qualified Opportunity Fund.\nQ. I sold some stock for a gain in 2018, and, during the 180-day period beginning on the date of the sale, I invested the amount of the gain in a Qualified Opportunity Fund. Can I defer paying tax on that gain?\nA. Yes, you may elect to defer the tax on the amount of the gain invested in a Qualified Opportunity Fund. Therefore, if you only invest part of your gain in a Qualified Opportunity Fund(s), you can elect to defer tax on only the part of the gain which was invested.\nQ. How do I elect to defer my gain on the 2018 sale of the stock?\nA. You may make an election to defer the gain, in whole or in part, when filing your 2018 Federal Income Tax return. That is, you may make the election on the return on which the tax on that gain would be due if you do not defer it.\nQ. I sold some stock on December 15, 2017, and, during the required 180-day period, I invested the amount of the gain in a Qualified Opportunity Fund. Can I elect to defer tax on that gain?\nA. Yes. You make the election on your 2017 return. Attach Form 8949, reporting Information about the sale of your stock. Precise instructions on how to use that form to elect deferral of the gain will be forthcoming shortly.\nQ. Can I still elect to defer tax on that gain if I have already filed my 2017 tax return?\nA. Yes, but you will need to file an amended 2017 return, using Form 1040X and attaching Form 8949.\nA. Over the next few months, the Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service will be providing further details, including additional legal guidance, on this new tax benefit. More information will be available at Treasury.gov and IRS.gov.\nFederal Qualified Opportunity Zone FAQs (DCA)\nInvestment in Federal Opportunity Zones - Prepared by: Ponsinelli (Overview slides)",

Regulation of most other aspects of human activity is intense and subject to scrutiny, except politics - until recently. So when exercising our democratic rights to vote in a General Election, we are only electing a person to represent the parliamentary seat in which we live. The rest - government, and prime minister - is by proxy.\nThe party with most seats has expectations to form the next government. Its leader (who has already been elected by its members) is invited to do so and, if successful, appointed by the constitutional monarch as prime minister.\nAs we have seen in the 2010 campaign to date, more vividly perhaps than ever before the medium of television -together with competition between television channels - appears to be quickening the transformation of our parliamentary democracy into a presidential-system of government. The appearance of the party leaders, their body language, facial mannerisms, we are told, account for the vagaries of their respective party's standing in opinion polls more than their party's manifesto policies.\nParty politics for me is defined by motivational values - personal greed (Conservatives) vs the common good (Labour). The Liberal Democrats seem to err in Tory areas more towards sating greed, and in Labour areas more towards the common good, through so-called neighbourhood politics. So their existence as a separate political party today for me reflects more the personal ambitions of its relatively small membership base and elected representatives than a distinctive value set that shapes its policies.\nThis simple categorisation has been thrown into disarray by presidential creep, or the advance of the elected dictatorship. Instead of being encouraged to focus on the policies, we are being bombarded with images of the leaders and invitations to watch debate, rather than participate. The results of round one of the 2010 'prime ministerial' TV debates has been an unprecedented convulsion in public opinion as measured by the opinion polls - showing a meteoric 50% rise in possible support for the Liberal Democrats from 15 - 20% up to 25% - 30% or more. Under Britain's current electoral voting system, it is possible that Labour could win the largest number of seats with the smallest share of the popular vote. Some say that would strip the largest party of democratic legitimacy. I say that's what you get if you allow TV moguls and professional politicians to pervert parliamentary democracy.\nPosted at 11:27 AM in parliamentary democracy, TV debates | Permalink | Comments (3) | TrackBack (0)",

        "raw_content": "I. 'Metaphysics and the Problem of Existence' by Richard Schain\nII. 'Enlightenment: Paradigm that Lasted Three Ages' by Henk Tuten\nIII. 'The Truths of the Soul' by Michael Levy\nThe first question to be faced is whether there is such a thing as a specific problem of human existence. There are problems of survival, of security, of procreation and of power, These are challenges of living that humans share with all other creatures. Homo sapiens, however, has always exhibited a distinctive aspect to his life, conceived by Aristotle as a metaphysical need to know that is of a different order from the problems he shares with the rest of the animal kingdom. This need or problem was formulated by the painter Gauguin in three questions placed on one of his large paintings of Tahitian life. Gauguin was a remarkable writer of philosophy as well as a painter, and his letters, journals and unpublished articles deserve wider attention than confinement to scholars of art history. Freely translated (in accord with his spirit), they convey the following: Why am I here? What must I do? What can I hope for? These questions encompass the specific problem of human existence; they may be fused into the single question, \"What is the meaning of my life?\"\nImmediately, it must be acknowledged that not all individuals are troubled with this problem to the same degree. In fact, it may be confidently asserted that it is a pressing problem for only a small minority. The vast majority of individuals only dimly recognize a problem of existence that distinguishes them from other types of living creatures. The distinctive metaphysical problem of human existence has always been the concern of the few. The semi-mythical Heraclitus is said to have referred to them as 'hoi oligoi', superior beings were few in number. This type of intellectualism elitism has often been adopted by philosophically-minded thinkers seeking to comprehend their isolation in the world.\nThe many who do not feel this problem can be separated into three categories: utilitarian materialists, religious believers and those committed to scientific values. The materialists are by far the largest group of those who are largely oblivious to the metaphysical problem of existence. These are the practical members of society who are responsive to the material problems of daily living. They are the stalwarts of civilized life who provide for themselves, their families and their communities. They judge their success in life by their accomplishments in the here-and-now of social existence. Intimations of mortality may be troublesome at times but, by and large, they are not transformed into awareness of the specifically human problem of existence.\nReligious believers are those for whom the problem of existence has been answered by a religious faith. For Christians, the adherence to traditional Christian beliefs and practices answers the question of the meaning of their life. Religious believers may be materialists as well in the sense that this term is defined above but with the additional dimension of a metaphysical element expressed as a relationship to God or some surrogate figure. The nineteenth century conviction that the age of science would do away with religious dogma has not turned out to be correct. Religious institutions are flourishing at the dawn of the twenty-first century.\nFinally, we come to those who do not recognize a metaphysical problem of existence because they espouse a scientific or scholarly way of thought. These are the scientific specialists, scholars, 'Gelehrten', and all like-minded types who have dominated philosophy for the past two centuries. For them, the problem of existence has become a matter of cognitive science to be answered through analysis of the brain-mind problem, using techniques borrowed from neurophysiology, linguistics and computer science. The problem itself is not recognized as such because all mental processes are believed -- as an act of faith -- to be a matter of biology. The placement of the problem of human existence on a metaphysical level is dismissed out of hand because science does not accept the metaphysical as a valid category of knowledge. These types may be labelled as \"materialists of the mind\" since their one article of faith is that all phenomena, mental or otherwise, are ultimately material in nature and subject to analytic investigation.\nThe difficulty with the approach to the problem of human existence through cognitive science is that it is never elaborated in a meaningful manner. The principal requirement necessary is to recognize its metaphysical nature. The history of civilization has shown that there is a metaphysical need running through humanity like a recurrent symphonic chord. There exists a state of mind, more precisely, a state of consciousness in which this need is embedded. No satisfaction is to be found in materialist explanations, no matter how much they may be padded with ethical theories. Yet the question of consciousness today is dominated by cognitive scientists whose only concern is to analyze it and explain how it is possible. Laborious dissections of thought, analogous to producing a Gray's Anatomy of the mind, are put forth as advances in its understanding. Cognitive scientists would like to show how consciousness is exclusively a phenomenon of the brain, thus establishing it within the framework of the materialist world view. But by now, it is evident that this will never happen -- as William James predicted over a century ago in his Principles of Psychology. While consciousness is being recently more regarded as a phenomenon in its own right (e.g. John Searle), the approach to it is still analytic and value-free.\nThe \"solution\" to the metaphysical problem of existence is to be found in the values arising within the conscious mind, not in the analysis of the latter's nature. The antique Greeks are still our models in philosophy because they were concerned with values, not with analysis of the structure of the mind, which was always a secondary consideration with them. The human condition requires a value-rich metaphysics, without which human beings are merely an out-of-control animal species, on the verge of destroying the milieu in which they live. If Homo sapiens does not respond to the problem of his existence through creating a metaphysical consciousness, he becomes an abortive entity that has missed its purpose. It is not enough for him to survive in the midst of family, offices, honors or possessions, he must develop his mind as something more than a tool for dominating his social and material milieu. This reality transcends all other realities for him. However, nature has always been profligate of individuals in achieving its goals and the human species is no exception.\nThe process of mental maturation is dependent on experiences that make possible the deepening of consciousness, although they do not guarantee it. Experiences can be had at every level of existence, ranging from climbing Mount Everest to reading Plato. The common denominator is increasing depth of consciousness. The oracles of antiquity: \"know yourself,\" \"become what you are,\" \"living according to one's physis,\" [nature] all were concerned with deepening of consciousness. A genuine philosophy concerns itself with these questions, not with the futile effort at reductionist analyses of the mind.\nTwo indicators of the metaphysical need of individuals are the popular appeal of religious sectarianism and \"New Age\" spirituality. By and large, however, one must look to his own self for metaphysical development. Experiencing a writing or a teaching is one thing, subordinating one's mind to them is another. If Christ is permitted to enter one's interior life, he should not be permitted to monopolize it. A still valid criterion for judging the value of contemporary movements is the one Socrates used in judging the Sophists -- do they make money from their teaching? Philosophy and commerce are incompatible activities\nGlorification of the unconscious mind, a concept first expressed by Schopenhauer and brought onto the stage of public awareness by Freud, has undermined the values of philosophy. But the unconscious mind is a contradiction in terms; if a thought is unconscious, it is not part of the mind, which necessarily implies consciousness. The emergence of a thought or idea into consciousness is a creative act of the first order that marks the nature of the human condition. To say that one is \"unconsciously\" aware of something is like saying a fertilized ovum qualifies as Homo sapiens. The metaphysical fact of human development is the emergence of a being possessed of consciousness. If awareness is not present in the conscious state, it forever remains in the void of metaphysical non-being.\nPhilosophy has to do with probing the problem of existence for those individuals who feel it to be central to their lives. What it decidedly is not is a scholarly discipline analogous to chemistry, physics or mathematics. The imprisonment of philosophy within academic structures has resulted in its disfiguration so that its nature has been radically changed. Philosophy today has been transformed into two distinct subjects; a) a subdivision of history concentrating on the study of philosophers or philosophic movements and b) a branch of theoretical psychology analyzing the nature of cognition. Both of these are topics deserving of a certain amount of study but they are not philosophy. Philosophy is the love of wisdom, it is a desire for metaphysical knowledge that is meaningless in the context of objective scientific methodology. Scholars are not philosophers and philosophers not scholars, although there may be some overlap as, for example, a neurologist having some knowledge of the electrician's craft. But as one does not look to electricians for models of what it is to be a neurologist, so one cannot look to scholars for models in philosophy.\nPhilosophical activity can be regarded as a sign of nature transcending its biological limits. If this be mysticism, to paraphrase the American revolutionary hero Patrick Henry, then opponents are free to make the most of it. The hallmarks of the philosopher are metaphysical intelligence, strength of mind and independence of the societal milieu. There are many such figures from the antique world but perhaps the most interesting is the semi-mythical figure of Heraclitus of Ephesus. Virtually nothing is known of his life, but his writings reveal a personality who meets the criteria given above. \"I searched out myself\" may be taken as the guiding principle of philosophy and the password to the philosophic life. The polar opposite of the philosopher is the scholar who searches out the paraphernalia of history in order to arrange them according to his inclinations. The antique world had its models in this area also but they were clearly distinguished from philosophy.\nThe problem of existence arises from the self and its solution comes from the same source -- the enlargement of consciousness that is the outcome of searching into it. However...there is a painful aspect to this search. The self that is the key to a metaphysical universe is also a function of physical being and is dependent on physical processes for its development. There is no escaping the physical world or the mortality that is its consequence. One cannot develop without the five senses and a functional brain, all of which are subject to decay and death. The moving finger writes and then writes no more. The metaphysically developed ancients regarded reconciliation with death as an essential element of philosophy. The problem of existence has to reconcile metaphysics with the fact of one's mortality\nFrom the time of the Pharoahs, powerful individuals have tried to erect monuments and create entities that were meant to perpetuate their existence. Christianity invented the idea of resurrection to evade the perceived finality of death. On a more modest scale, there is the idea that generational continuity continues one's existence or, even more modestly, that this is accomplished through influences and memories initiated during life. Nevertheless, the tragedy of the disappearance of every vital self from the extant world remains a reality to be faced by all, especially philosophers. The miracle of the creation of a living mind reaches its end. Biological death has to be directly faced and apprehended.\nBut there is a metaphysical way of apprehending individual existence; It is a shame to think and feel as if Kant never revealed the relativity of time and space. The latter are pseudo-dimensions erected by the mind as a practical affair in order to orient oneself amidst the chaotic quality of being. An individual's existence is a permanent fact that cannot be abolished because it seems to be terminated by the passage of time. One exists in eternity, Development of this awareness is a joyous feeling as was poetically recorded by Nietzsche. Although it is impossible to escape entirely the instinctual demand to perceive life as existing in a space-time continuum, it is possible to become aware of the relativity of these dimensions and come to a more profound appraisal of one's place in the universe. What has been created cannot become uncreated. The only possible reason for the incredible complexity of life processes is the meaningful creation of an individual. Meaning implies existence in eternity. Otherwise. \"it is just a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.\"\nSt. Augustine wrote that the only two problems of philosophy were God and the soul, but it is quite appropriate to remove God from this list. The unique phenomenon of metaphysics is the development of an individual consciousness. The problem of human existence is to make this development occur. Analytic thought is a movement away from this process, albeit it may be necessary for controlling the physical elements of one's existence. It is a loss to abdicate direction of this development to institutions of any type as spontaneity of thought is the sine qua non of metaphysical knowledge. The opposite of this knowledge is not error but ignorance, obtuseness, cowardice or shallow materialist thinking.\nThe creation of values is the special sign of a metaphysical consciousness. Every person is guided by values, the question is whether they are created or obtained second hand. The best way of judging an individual is to ascertain the nature of his values. There is no reason to shrink from this judgement, it is far better than judgements based on race, ethnicity, religion or even behavior. It is impossible to live without values, but to live fully one must create his own. Otherwise one is a puppet of society or an animal left to his primitive instincts.\nThe concept of metaphysics has been held in bad repute throughout the age of science. Paul Tillich, who is one of the most important of twentieth century metaphysical philosophers, felt constrained to abandon the word entirely in favor of ontology. However, its meaning in his writings is the same. Nietzsche, whose entire life and works were dedicated to metaphysical values, refused to accept the term, preferring to think of himself as a psychologist and devotee of \"Wissenschaft' (science in its broadest sense). For him, metaphysics meant belief in God, heaven, hell, immortality, and mendacious religious dogmas. But he understood the importance of the soul even if he criticized the Christian concept of it. The idea \"reverence for the soul\" comes from Nietzsche, not Albert Schweitzer. The inescapable fact is that the idea of a metaphysical self or soul is more in accord with the phenomena of Homo sapiens than are the dogmas of a scientific neurology.\nWe who live in the shadow of the overpowering forces of scientific technology can hardly be capable of assessing their impact upon ourselves. Sartre was correct in his thought that there is no escape of the individual from the situation in which he finds himself. Our qualities and values are enormously determined by it. But the image and the ideal of the metaphysical self can still be brought into consciousness and valued more highly than they are today. The metaphysical need can be acknowledged without violating one's intellectual conscience and can be rigorously pursued in full accord with the facts of existence. Philosophy is the name given to the effort to live up to this high aspiration.\nAway with feelings, the paradigm of Continental Rationalism\nThe 20th century philosopher Marcuse wrote in 'One Dimensional Man' that the philosopher's job is \"to understand [the world in which we live] in terms of what it has done to man, and what it can do to man.\"\nI asked myself the question: what if Enlightenment wasn't really enlightening? This was based on the observation that skills improved tremendously since the end of the 17th century, but wisdom grew only a little. Improvement is mainly seen in technical detail (skill), and as a consequence of that even the exploration of space. But principally that knowledge was already implied in Cartesian mathematics. It only needed thorough and tedious refining (computers proved to be excellent in this work). Later I found out that partly Nietzsche already tried to warn us with all his might about the same mistake. It need not be that bad, many of my insights I'm sure can be found as well in Zen Buddhism. My doubt proved to lead to remarkable insights. I convinced myself, now I'll set out to convince you.\nOne hint: Think of how Mandelbrot pictures can take enormous skill (like all fractal presentations), but don't take very special knowledge. The skill part came within reach through computers and inkjet color printers. Not because IBM, Microsoft, HP and other multinationals have a direct telephone connection to truth.\nIn my opinion the inheritance of Enlightenment is twofold:\n(1) neglecting the difference between 'religion' and belief (god-belief or secular belief) (and as consequence mistaking skill for knowledge or wisdom)\n(2) neglecting the difference between absolute and relative truth (ignoring feeling)\nIn this article I'll try to follow the words of Marcuse, and defend my view. I'll use the following steps:\nRationalism takes personal views as absolute facts\n...Later\nSkill versus Knowledge\n1. The New Science\nAt present without thinking one uses the notion 'rational'. But this word in the present meaning exists only since \"the Enlightenment\" end 17th century. This stream of thought was triggered by the 'New Science' of thinkers like Newton, Galileo and Boyle. Newton gave the start for space travel (gravity), Galileo invented the bricks of the universe (atoms), and without Boyle no 'boiling' (gas-pressure laws). It heavily diminished the role of the until then very important feelings. Leading philosophers of the time like Leibniz regarded feelings as nothing more than an expression of logic (that influence is still felt at present and surely not in a positive way). Largely the essentials of rationalism haven't changed since then. Nowadays the meaning of the word 'rational' came to point at logical behavior but then it stressed the rock hard belief that the view of the world rested on unchangeable laws of nature. Empirically to observe signs of this nature gave through 'logic' a la Descartes a clue about these laws.\nAs a consequence of the new science, philosophy was split in two disciplines: empiricism and rationalism on one side and metaphysics or pure rationalism on the other. Empiricism and rationalism differed only in the importance given to experience, metaphysics didn't use experience at all. The new science was undermining the validity of metaphysics. People in an age of strong absolutism and god-belief don't throw away all their certainties. So they constructed a knowledge that was both absolute and like a religion. Absolute truth (or human knowledge) became a replacement for god-belief. It is no coincidence that Kant in case of pure reason speaks about \"theological knowledge\". The resulting system of thought, however liberating, was unwillingly a source of dogmatism. Feelings more and more were forced to lead a dormant life, and hided in art, children's literature, street culture and anarchism.\nRationalism delivered amazing technical feats, resulting in flying to the moon. Rationalism unrestrained by feelings gave us nazism, communism, capitalism and 2 world-wars. It gave rise to the typical arrogant human view that sharks were killing machines (just an example). But Capitalism changed the majority of people in leading circles into economic sharks. In the 21st century feelings are rediscovered. Science finds amongst others that sharks are amazing largely un-understood intelligent creatures. Certainly not aiming for economic exploitation of the universe. It's in the line of expectation to see a return of the almost lost value 'respect', as replacement for the value of money or wealth.\n2. Rationalism takes personal views as absolute facts.\nDiscussions often mistakenly focus on normal facts. These are not essential, and neither is the truth or falsity of the way in which they were derived. This common trick only creates a fog around the view. Any knowledge system consists of basic facts or basic presumptions as a point of departure of a view. All other facts are derived from the basic facts using that view.\nIn mathematical functions nobody sees the position of the axis-system as essential. It is the shape of the curve that matters. In the same way basic presumptions are nothing more than the fixation-point of a view. They add nothing to the shape of that view. The statement that something 'is a fact' only has meaning if the view used in this case is known. Using a rational view has become so common, that facts are presumed to be rational. But rationalism only is the plane formed by the following view: \"IF a=b AND b=c THEN a=c.\"\nThat works well if a,b and c are data, because then a, b and c are all members of, for instance, rational numbers (the hidden presumption).But what if a, b and c are feelings, and if feelings cannot be reduced to rational numbers? Because that's what one of the early rationalists presumed (Leibniz). Only he didn't prove it, or derive it using rational view (logic) from basic presumptions. He believed in absolute truth, or the truth that everything is rational (only he never said so).\na=GOOD combined with knowing that a is a feeling raises the question: for whom? What is GOOD for A might be BAD for B. So what does a=GOOD mean in the case of feelings? Only that something raises feeling a in A. It might raise feeling a in B as well, but not the same one as for A. In this case the link (a,A) and (a,B) seems essential., (a,A) is GOOD and (a,B) is BAD. So if something is a member of A THEN the resulting feeling is GOOD, and if that something is a member of B then in case of a it feels BAD. Then feelings are not simple absolute data, but are relative.\nThat's common knowledge, but difficult in straightforward rationalism. Otherwise everybody would love the same person. Very good for his or her sex life, but also very unpractical. Accepting feelings is believing in relative truth. Why is it then that so many dogma's are found around religion? Because religion is the formal part of belief, it says nothing about believing itself. Only the word 'religion' became almost similar to god-belief.\n(There at least is one certainty, everything becomes history.)\nThe Frenchman Descartes got world famous as the founder of rationalism by extracting indications about such absolute laws from nature in his typical method (analysis). That's why this stream of thought in America is sometimes called the French Enlightenment. Under the assumption of continuity of the laws of nature, he cut natural objects into ever smaller pieces. Jigsaw puzzles of those pieces became his truth. Try to cut a human in small pieces, and then to construct the living being again. But Descartes attended surgical sessions (see the painting by Rembrandt), purely with the aim of discovering the building method. Present surgery mainly still uses this method. This method lead to great accomplishments, but at the same time is rather limited. It is based on a technical way of insight (way of understanding), and causes people to work according to methods that they don't fully understand (i.e. surgical operations).\nThe technical side of 'rational' research fitted men better than women (that's why since then temporarily this sex got into second place. The man who wrote in the mid 20th century the song \"It's a man's world\" was more right than he thought.).\nDescartes believed that mathematics transcended the senses, contributing to an overall mathematical order to the universe that is independent of senses. He said that humans are somehow able doubt. Thus, the famous logical statement \"cogito ergo sum\" (I think therefore I am). However, the I is not a physical \"I\", it is an immaterial mind that is identified by \"I\". Cartesian Dualism is the theory that there are two fundamental types of entity: mind and matter. Physical bodies can be expressed in the dimensions breadth, width and depth. Minds however are entirely immaterial and non-spatial; they are the \"I\" Descartes refers to. In his view the mind is the only entity that can think (stones can't), and his cogito argument is used by him to prove the existence this mind.\nIn short, the method of Descartes was based on 4 steps:\n(1) accepting as \"truth\" only clear and distinct ideas\n(2) breaking a problem down into parts\n(3) building a systematic synthesis from the parts\n(4) deduction as a means to derive new conclusions\nTruth was based on so called prescriptive 'innate' ideas, a kind of theoretical axioms. I.e. based on human-made concepts. Descartes doesn't seem arrogant to me, so this in essence arrogant assumption (humans deciding what is truth or not) must have been the spirit of the time.\nThus, (5) The existence of a non-physical mind.\nLooking at this Descartes proved himself to be a rationalist, but not a pure rationalist (metaphysician). Not like Hume believing in analysis based only on praxis only, but still giving it a strong role. In fact seen through 21st century eyes Descartes uses a spreadsheet-like approach. This works as long as the researched phenomena are 'smooth', and can be expressed in a neat mathematical function. But but not if they can't be expressed in mathematical functions or if these are not differential or not integrable. So Descartes' truth was in fact a mathematical one. Simple phenomena fit without problem in integrable mathematical functions, and fitted his idea of clear and distinct. More complex phenomena were simply ignored. This simplifying of reality is the biggest threat of rationalism.\nNietzsche was the first important philosopher who really saw the dangerous consequences of only absolute thinking. But through his (not deliberate) misleading use of the word \"religion\", one generally thought that he only meant the Christian church. He attacked the church as the main source of dogmatism, but without real reason he became known as enemy of the church. His 'Superman' combined absolute and relative thinking. The concept meant things like independence and use of own creativity.\nThe term 'Continental Rationalism' traditionally refers to a 17th century philosophical movement starting with Descartes. It soon got the name Enlightenment, and started with famous names like Descartes, Kant and Hume. After Descartes, several dozen scientists and philosophers continued his teachings throughout continental Europe, and accordingly were titled Cartesians.\nSome of them strayed little from the scientific and metaphysical theories of Descartes. Others used his theories in Calvinistic theology, making this more...rational.\nA few philosophers influenced by Descartes were more original and these people are included under the more general title rationalists. These principal rationalists include the Dutch philosopher Spinoza, the Frenchman Malebranche, the German Leibniz, and the German Christian Wolff. Maybe Wolff was responsible for the neglect of feeling in rationalism, for along with Leibniz this influential philosopher in his 'Wolffian theory of reality' saw feeling as purely logical.\nRationalists believed in a truth deduced by mathematical reasoning from innate ideas (a kind of theoretical axioms as opposed to experience). I.e. infinite perfection.\nEmpiricism in the 17th century was a rival movement, it was said to be founded by the Englishman John Locke and therefore is often named British Empiricism. On two key points principal Empiricism differs from real Rationalism.\n(1) Empiricists rejected proof by only mathematical methods, and also believed in perceptions and emotions.\n(2) Empiricists also used deductive reasoning, but they more often used the inductive method promoted by the British writer Francis Bacon.\nKant tried to take a position between empiricism and rationalism. This way he constructed a weird empiricism (experimental observation based on a priori knowledge), as well a a weird rationalism (because his hero was Hume, experience was given an important position).\nRationalism as initiated by Descartes is at present generally seen by philosophers as being a revolution in science, or a paradigm shift. But in evolutionary eyes it is far too early to say that this phenomenon will stick. Amongst others this way of thinking replaced the use of Aristotelian ideas in Western Europe. Especially it replaced the idea of 'imagination' as representing consciousness.\nIn the world of mathematics, Descartes is known as founder of analysis (think of notions like differentiating and integrating). In fact he was the godfather of computer math, because he showed that continuous functions can without problem be divided in minute parts. And that afterwards the same function can be constructed from those tiny subfunctions. Analysis of objects in tiny subparts as was done in rationalism doesn't easily lead to overview. Even worse, in practice this method was applied on most discontinuous functions too. Mathematical functions are artificial, and discontinuity in real life generally asks for other methods. Empiricism had the same weakness, but contrary to rationalism it accepted emotions (though as subjective). In rationalism pure thought was considered objective ( because of intuition of absolute truth) and experience as subjective. Empiricism took exactly the counter position. In the middle was Kant, who tried to prove that both views were objective (that's why he invented the dubious idea 'a priori').\nAt present philosophers generally consider both pure thoughts as thought triggered by experiences as subjective. But 'absolutists' (like Popper) believe in the existence of only one basic set of laws of nature. Relativists (like Kuhn) hold a different view and presume laws to be dependent of the used system of thought. So Popper with his Critical Rationalism stayed closer to his in principle dogmatic 17th century colleagues. Despite his sympathetic side he chose in essence to believe in an absolute truth behind the manifold subjective interpreted phenomenons.\n4. ...Later\nIn the 18th century the christian church too came to embrace rationalism. Amongst others that is recognized in the fanaticism to convert others to this belief, because of belief in one truth. The trust in one's own beliefs is not typically rational, but is caused by its dogmatic traits. This trait fitted church perfectly (church seen as religion, not as belief). In the 16th century in this way the Spanish without thinking destroyed a whole system of thought in South-America. Many wars were initiated by two conflicting truths.\nAt present rationalism as initiated by Descartes is generally seen by philosophers as a revolution in thought or a paradigm shift). But seen through evolutionary eyes it's much too soon to conclude that this way of thinking will stay. Amongst others this view replaced in Western Europe the Aristotelian way of thinking. Especially it replaced the notion 'imagination' (the ability to fantasize) as a way to present consciousness. Destroying statues may have been a way to destroy remaining consciousness.\n5. Skill versus Knowledge\nWithout doubt human knowledge improved since the end of the 17th century. But not that much as generally thought. What improved tremendously are particular skills. The methods of Descartes were perfected and showed amazing results in almost every science. Sure, sharks are still superior in a man-to-man fight, but no match for nuclear bombs. Knowledge however mainly improved through Darwin and the resulting discovery of DNA. Even the relativity theory of Einstein could be seen as a general application of Cartesian math. So seen from space, not much has happened on earth.\nTry to see the road to wisdom as forever widening, and improving skills as detailing on a narrowing road. Airplanes reach new destinations, while bicycling mainly is sympathetic. Both are infinite processes, only one ends in every time in a bigger space, and the other in a point.\nThis new era, a new scientific paradigm, was called 'Enlightenment'. That indicates the dawning of a bright future after the spiritually dark Middle Ages. When asked in a newspaper what this word exactly meant even Kant could only speculate. Anyway it is far too early too conclude that this was a successful new direction in evolution. Humans count the days, but evolution works with ages.\nWhat is evident is that in leading circles 'ratio' became much more important than feeling, and that technology progressed much faster than knowledge. The 17th century in Europe is also called \"Age of Absolutism\". The 21st century applies for the name \"Age of Terrorism\". At present philosophers are still debating the difference between the absolute and relative view. Indeed, just like at the start of Enlightenment.\nAll my articles are on the Internet. I use referential sources only to check my points of view, never to copy pieces of it. Anyway I hate articles with miles of references. In case you have a question just send me an e-mail.\n(c) Henk Tuten 2003\nE-mail: htuten@daxis.nl Web site: http:---\nMany folks have asked me \"what is your philosophy and how has it guided you through your life.\" Rather than give examples of actions I have taken by living my philosophy, I feel it is far better to describe the philosophy so that everyone can understand, they too can live an authentic, productive and creative life on earth.\nThere can be no philosophy that does not include our true identity and that is our soul. It is our life force and the source of our intelligence. Our personality/ ego is governed by our intellect and thus can get very lost in dark shadows of dogma and man made doctrines.\nThe truths of the soul may be difficult to locate for many people, however I will open up the meaning and philosophy of the soul and spark our conscious minds attention in a mode no other dimension can extend.\nOn September 11th 2001, the world was shaken by an act of terror that killed many thousands of innocent people. It was an act of insanity perpetrated by humans who had lost total control of their true identity and their meaning of life. Where extreme dogmas reign, devastation will surely follow. This highlights an absolute lack of spirit's wisdom. It relies on feeble-minded doctrines that only a mis-conditioned Ego can consume. This is indicative of a society that has not found sound philosophy to guide their lives.\nWith increasing certainty the world in which we live is becoming more negative in all aspects of everyday life. Many of the world's religions have ministered to humankind's needs for the past few thousand years. They are now being abandoned as science makes new discoveries and more scandals in religious leadership hit the headlines. The folks who preach sin and damnation seem to be saying \"Do as I say, not as I do.\" The education system only wants to feed students with knowledge of past text books and finds it very difficult to accept anything other than an attitude that projects, \"That is the way we do things around here.\" So what are we to think and who are we to believe?\nThe financial markets are also plagued with villainy and corruption. Many investors have been hoodwinked by the greedy few. Now fear reigns supreme as many pensions funds have been flushed down the drain with the likes WorldCom, Enron and on and on. Other outrages are waiting in the wings and will no doubt follow.\nOn top of all this numerous wars are being fought in many points on our small globe and terrorist continues to plague society.\nPeople seem to be more miserable now than at any time in human history and yet most folks in the West have all the modern gadgets and \"things\" at their disposal. It seems more means less. More materialistic gains ... less serene happiness. More \"tasty\" foods ... less healthy lives. More information technology ... less of spirit's wisdom More stressful thoughts that lead to heart attacks and cancer. Less meditation and serene relaxation that heals and protects. This translates into more wealth and less health. More money to buy pills that will camouflage our sickness, but will seldom cure. More greedy corporate companies, less compassionate caring people.\nUntil humankind can understand the true meaning of life, more and more grief will be heaped on a world population confused and dismayed by its own self inflicted Be_lie_f systems. Only by comprehending true universal laws can humans exist in peace and harmony and no amount of debate can overcome duality thinking.\nGood and bad do not exist. There is only the blueprint of a human race that is meant to live in peace and harmony without personal perceptions that contain falsehoods and illusions. Negativity can never be reasoned away in a dualistic world, hell bent on its own destruction. Humanity can only survive this onslaught of deceits and lies by accepting universal wisdom that transmits a truthful message. We are just a strand in the web of life. What harm we inflict on our plant and other life forms, we certainly inflict on ourselves.\nJust where do humans get their information from? Who gave Einstein his theories? How did humans discover the electromagnetic force field? How did mortal beings find ways of sending pictures though space and into our homes? Could it be the same intelligence that built the pyramids thousands of years ago? Is it the same intelligence that gave us the Ten Commandments? Did it cultivate Jesus, Buddha and Mohammed? Just what is a human? Let's become an archeologist, dig a little deeper and explore our universal body.\nThe human body is a mass of trillions of particles. Each particle has it's own intelligence and energy source. When we see a particle under a microscope we find most of it is empty space and all the parts are linked by strands and threads. Each particle bonds to its neighbor and together they make a human body.\nAll the solid things we see around us are all made in the same way as a human. Particles of matter bonded together to make a shape or form. The different mix of matter particles makes each component different to the touch and sight. It is the invisible intelligence within the emptiness of each \"thing\" that gives it substance and a solid appearance. A rock looks and feel solid but most of it is empty space containing intelligence. If it was not smart it would fall apart. Trees, grass, flowers, mountains, soil, everything contains intelligent energy.\nWhen that intelligent energy can move and think, we refer to it as an animal, bird or an insect, etc. But everything we see, touch, smell, feel and taste contains strands of intelligent energy.\nNow the big question is, what is this invisible energy and how can we benefit from it to improve our existence here on earth? Our brains are made up of the same stuff as everything else that has been described here. The distinction of a human brain seems to be the fact that we can access fresh intelligent energy in the gaps between our thoughts.\nThroughout the universe, dark matter glues together all the planets, stars and other particles, floating around in space. The electromagnetic forces are part of that glue. It assembles matter and helps to bond the particles into shapes and solids. The intelligence that produced electromagnetism is the same intelligence that created our minds. Just as we have billions of particles bonded together in our bodies, our minds are a multifaceted dimension of intelligent energy. During our evolvement, we have been able to harvest vast crops of thought. As we develop our wisdom, our capacity to learn additional information continues to increase.\nTo describe the imponderable is no easy task and yet it really is so simple. For sure the human being is a complex entity and the more sophisticated we become, the more complex we make our lives. We are now at the point of transmitting information at the speed of light and running faster and faster to a destination with no name. Mankind's curiosity will always lead it on a merry dance, but our dance is losing it's merriment.\nWe all have the ability to find the answers to the imponderable. We may not understand how it is all put together and we may never be able to read the mind of the creator that engineered our existence, but we can tune into the intelligent energy that is all around us. Once we start to understand this energy exists, we begin to realize that the intelligent energy is actually who we are. This is our true identity. It is this intelligence that keeps our bodies functioning and it performs millions upon millions of actions in our bodies every second. If we don't grasp this knowledge then we just end up living with the intellect of learning, dominated by an out of tune society and culture.\nTo rely solely on intellect will cause us to swim isolated in a Quantum aquarium of darkness. It will not be long before a large wave of negative energy consumes our existence. Oh yes, there is also a negative energy. Everything has a positive and negative charge. The opposite to intelligent energy is ignorant energy. When humans behave in a chaotic manner they are tuned into ignorance. It could start out as just a simple lie or unfeeling word. Many times it could and usually does end up as a crisis of one sort or another.\nOn a larger scale propaganda by ignorant governments extends to wars. This primitive action transpires because we cut off the true source of intelligent energy from the part of our being that needs it the most; The conscious part of our brain.\nWisdom for the mind comes from the gaps in our thoughts. We need to be fed intelligence continually or we expire out of ignorance. That is the reason humans have destroyed many of there own species for thousands of years. That is the reason mankind has been wrecking mother earth for the past few centuries. We are unacquainted with our true identity and if we do not acknowledge who we are, then how can we function properly on a day to day basis? We become lost sheep who have gone astray.\nIf we could read the intelligence inside a rock we would be amazed. It would tell us we need a solid foundation in our lives. We need to keep ourselves grounded to mother earth. For if we should lose our connection, then we would become a rolling stone that would cause an avalanche of useless actions to crash into the face of oblivion.\nIf we could hear a tree talk it would tell us we need to be able to sway with nature's forces. We need to bend a little or else we will snap in half with all the pressure of modern living.\nIf we could listen to a flower it would tell of all the beauty there is in this world and if we let it pass unnoticed then we would have lived a wasted existence.\nIf we could pay attention to a fruit or vegetable's information, we would understand that it tells each molecule and cell in our bodies how to retain good health. We would hear them whisper to our cells that they need wholeness to achieve goodness.\nIt would tell of other foods that are refined and have all their intelligence taken out of them, so we are eating dumb, ignorant foods. Foods which have no real meaning to our bodies other than distorting it's well being.\nOh! there is so much intelligence around us to tune into. So much information and so little willingness to take time out to listen. If we could listen into the voice of time itself it would tell us we have such a short season. That to waste a second in worry is foolish behavior fed by our ignorance of not knowing the genius that lives within us ALL.\nIntelligence and Ignorance are both seeking the same home in our minds. Both wish to fill the same space. Which one are we going to allow to enter?\nE-mail: MIKMIKL@aol.com Web site: http:---",

        "raw_content": "If you\u2019re one of the millions of human beings who, despite a preponderance of evidence to the contrary, still believe there is such a thing as \u201cthe truth,\u201d you might not want to read this essay. Seriously, it can be extremely upsetting when you discover that there is no \u201ctruth\u201d \u2026 or rather, that what we\u2019re all conditioned to regard as \u201ctruth\u201d from the time we are children is just the product of a technology of power, and not an empirical state of being. Humans, upon first encountering this fact, have been known to freak completely out and start jabbering about the \u201cWord of God,\u201d or \u201cthe immutable laws of quantum physics,\u201d and run around burning other people at the stake or locking them up and injecting them with Thorazine. I don\u2019t want to be responsible for anything like that, so consider this your trigger warning.\nOK, now that that\u2019s out of the way, let\u2019s take a look at how \u201ctruth\u201d is manufactured. It\u2019s actually not that complicated. See, the \u201ctruth\u201d is \u2026 well, it\u2019s a story, essentially. It\u2019s whatever story we are telling ourselves at any given point in history (\u201cwe\u201d being the majority of people, those conforming to the rules of whatever system wields enough power to dictate the story it wants everyone to be telling themselves). Everyone understands this intuitively, but the majority of people pretend they don\u2019t in order to be able to get by in the system, which punishes anyone who does not conform to its rules, or who contradicts its story. So, basically, to manufacture the truth, all you really need is (a) a story, and (b) enough power to coerce a majority of people in your society to pretend to believe it.\nI\u2019m not going to debunk the Guardian article here. It has been debunked by better debunkers than I (e.g., Jonathan Cook, Craig Murray, Glenn Greenwald, Moon of Alabama, and many others). The short version is, The Guardian\u2018s Luke Harding, a shameless hack who will affix his name to any propaganda an intelligence agency feeds him, alleged that Paul Manafort, Trump\u2019s former campaign manager, secretly met with Julian Assange (and unnamed \u201cRussians\u201d) on numerous occasions from 2013 to 2016, presumably to conspire to collude to brainwash Americans into not voting for Clinton. Harding\u2019s earth-shaking allegations, which The Guardian prominently featured and flogged, were based on \u2026 well, absolutely nothing, except the usual anonymous \u201cintelligence sources.\u201d After actual journalists pointed this out, The Guardian quietly revised the piece (employing the subjunctive mood rather liberally), buried it in the back pages of its website, and otherwise pretended like they had never published it.\nBy that time, of course, its purpose had been served. The story had been picked up and disseminated by other \u201crespectable,\u201d \u201cauthoritative\u201d outlets, and it was making the rounds on social media. Nonetheless, out of an abundance of caution, in an attempt to counter the above-mentioned debunkers (and dispel the doubts of anyone else still capable of any kind of critical thinking), Politico posted this ass-covering piece speculating that, if it somehow turned out The Guardian\u2018s story was just propaganda designed to tarnish Assange and Trump \u2026 well, probably, it had been planted by the Russians to make Luke Harding look like a moron. This ass-covering piece of speculative fiction, which was written by a former CIA agent, was immediately disseminated by liberals and \u201cleftists\u201d who are eagerly looking forward to the arrest, rendition, and public crucifixion of Assange.\nNor are there many truths (i.e., your truth and my truth). There is only one truth \u2026 the official truth. The truth according to those in power. This is the whole purpose of the concept of truth. It is the reason the concept of \u201ctruth\u201d was invented (i.e., to render any other \u201ctruths\u201d lies). It is how those in power control reality and impose their ideology on the masses (or their employees, or their students, or their children). Yes, I know, we very badly want there to be some \u201cobjective truth\u201d (i.e., what actually happened, when whatever happened, JFK, 9-11, the resurrection of Jesus Christ, Schr\u00f6dinger\u2019s dead cat, the Big Bang, or whatever). There isn\u2019t. The truth is just a story \u2026 a story that is never our story.\nThe truth is a story that power gets to tell, and that the powerless do not get to tell, unless they tell the story of those in power, which is always someone else\u2019s story. The powerless are either servants of power or they are heretics. There is no third alternative. They either parrot the truth of the ruling classes or they utter heresies of one type or another. Naturally, the powerless do not regard themselves as heretics. They do not regard their \u201ctruth\u201d as heresy. They regard their \u201ctruth\u201d as the truth, which is heresy. The truth of the powerless is always heresy.\nFor example, while it may be personally comforting for some of us to tell ourselves that we know the truth about certain subjects (e.g., Russiagate, 9-11, et cetera), and to share our knowledge with others who agree with us, and even to expose the lies of the corporate media on Twitter, Facebook, and our blogs, or in some leftist webzine (or \u201cfearless adversarial\u201d outlet bankrolled by a beneficent oligarch), the ruling classes do not give a shit, because ours is merely the raving of heretics, and does not warrant a serious response.\nOr \u2026 all right, they give a bit of a shit, enough to try to cover their asses when a journalist of the stature of Glenn Greenwald (who won a Pulitzer and is frequently on television) very carefully and very respectfully almost directly accuses them of lying. But they give enough of a shit to do this because Greenwald has the power to hurt them, not because of any regard for the truth. This is also why Greenwald has to be so careful and respectful when directly confronting The Guardian, or any other corporate media outlet, and state that their blatantly fabricated stories could, theoretically, turn out to be true. He can\u2019t afford to cross the line and end up getting branded a heretic and consigned to Outer Mainstream Darkness, like Robert Fisk, Sy Hersh, Jonathan Cook, John Pilger, Assange, and other such heretics.\nLook, I\u2019m not trying to argue that it isn\u2019t important to expose the fabrications of the corporate media and the ruling classes. It is terribly important. It is mostly what I do (albeit usually in a more satirical fashion). At the same time, it is important to realize that \u201cthe truth\u201d is not going to \u201crouse the masses from their slumber\u201d and inspire them to throw off their chains. People are not going to suddenly \u201cwake up,\u201d \u201csee the truth\u201d and start \u201cthe revolution.\u201d People already know the truth \u2026 the official truth, which is the only truth there is. Those who are conforming to it are doing so, not because they are deceived, but because it is safer and more rewarding to do so.\nAnd this is why The Guardian will not be punished for publishing a blatantly fabricated story. Nor will Luke Harding be penalized for writing it. Luke Harding will be rewarded for writing it, as he has been handsomely rewarded throughout his career for loyally serving the ruling classes. Greenwald, on the other hand, is on thin ice. It will be instructive to see how far he pushes his confrontation with The Guardian regarding this story.\nAs for Julian Assange, I\u2019m afraid he is done for. The ruling classes really have no choice but to go ahead and do him at this point. He hasn\u2019t left them any other option. Much as they are loathe to create another martyr, they can\u2019t have heretics of Assange\u2019s notoriety running around punching holes in their \u201ctruth\u201d and brazenly defying their authority. That kind of stuff unsettles the normals, and it sets a bad example for the rest of us heretics.\nC. J.

Smithson.\nWhy is that significant? Because Michael Smithson, CPC is the Executive Vice President of both Fred W. Smithson and JobCareers.\nAnd Michael is the Recruiter of the Week in Top Echelon\u2019s recruiting network!\nThere are three main reasons why Michael is the Recruiter of the Week:\nHis agency is celebrating its 25th anniversary as a member of the Network today.\nHis agency is on two nationally recognized lists that were recently published.\nMichael has made three split placements in Top Echelon Network already this year.\nMichael Smithson: in retrospect\nMichael Smithson, CPC\nWe recently announced that Network agency Affinity Executive Search is ranked on two lists published by Forbes magazine. Those lists are \u201cAmerica\u2019s Best Executive Recruiting Firms\u201d and \u201cAmerica\u2019s Best Professional Recruiting Firms.\u201d Affinity is ranked #43 and #75 on those lists, respectively.\nFred W. Smithson, meanwhile, is ranked #218 on the list of \u201cAmerica\u2019s Best Professional Recruiting Firms\u201d and #90 on the list of \u201cAmerica\u2019s Best Executive Recruiting Firms.\u201d\nIronically, one of the three TE splits that Michael has made this year was with Steve Kohn, the President of Affinity Executive Search.\nWe asked Michael to say a few words about his time as a member of Top Echelon Network. As you can see below, he focused on his split recruiting partners and the tremendous experience that he\u2019s enjoyed. And of course, he mentioned his recent split with Kohn.\n\u201cIt has been a great ride with TE throughout the years. I have greatly enjoyed the partnerships, camaraderie, stories, and all-around great people that can be found in the Network. Though quiet for a few years, I have increased my importing/exporting activities and have been on both sides of the job recruiter and candidate recruiter list this year. I look forward to continue the trend throughout the remainder of this year and beyond. And to have made a split with Steve Kohn, I feel complete.

        "raw_content": "\u2018Doodle Jump\u2019 an app favorite\nClayton Mitchell / Senior Writer July 13, 2015 Review, Reviews Print\nI\u2019m a self-admitted lame app user. I never get new apps. I use the same few apps over and over \u2014 and over.\nAfter having a smartphone for a little more than a year, I find that old apps die hard. Many of the apps I continue to use have been around for ages and are still wildly popular among smartphone users.\nSome of these apps are pretty standard, such as Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and FaceTime. Some apps also are the dominant of their type, like the ESPN app (which is lame but still better than their website), Apple\u2019s Podcasts app and the Weather Channel app.\nHowever, when it comes to games, there are very few standards. Many games have a very short half-life, and quickly find their way out of the spotlight, e.g. \u201cFlappy Bird.\u201d\nSo when a game dominates the cellular medium, it can make as many waves as games made for Xbox and Playstation consoles, and is played for years on end. Thus is the case of \u201cDoodle Jump.\u201d\n\u201cDoodle Jump\u201d is a simple game, as many popular mobile games are. The point of the game is to tilt your phone so the jumping character continues to climb the platforms. Sometimes you have to tap the screen to shoot at monsters. Like I said, not complicated.\nSure, the game gets harder the higher you go up. More monsters, fewer platforms to jump on, these platforms move. But ultimately, the purpose of the game stays the same: jump on platforms, climb higher and higher until you fall.\nCo-creator Igor Pusenjak claims the game has had more than a quarter of a billion downloads across all platforms. If his statement is true, the game would be played more than all versions of Nintendo\u2019s \u201cMario\u201d franchise.\nEven if it isn\u2019t true, the game has definitely been downloaded tens of millions of times, which is still a lot.\nYou can find this time transcending game on your local mobile app store for free, and for $.99 to remove ads.",

        "raw_content": "Pitt\u2019s 7-Foot Tall Recruit Goes On Pittsburgh Tour\nFiled Under:Basketball, Bob Pompeani, Jamie Dixon, Pitt Panthers, Pittsburgh Tour, recruiting, Steven Adams\nPITTSBURGH (KDKA) \u2013 The Pitt Panthers\u2019 chances of winning the Big East basketball championship this season greatly improved with their incoming recruiting class, which arguably features one of their best recruit ever.\nSteven Adams is a 7-footer from New Zealand and he chose Pitt mostly because Jaime Dixon and Adams\u2019 dad used to play there and got to know his family.\nKDKA-TV\u2019s Bob Pompeani: Do you like being 7-feet tall?\nAdams: Yeah, I think it\u2019s cool. I think it\u2019s pretty fun. Everyone notices you, it\u2019s pretty good at concerts.\nPompeani recently took Adams on a quick tour of Pittsburgh.\n\u201cI wasn\u2019t like outrageously tall. I was still kind of normal. But, then when I got to middle school, that\u2019s when I started to get much taller than everyone else. And then when I hit high school, that\u2019s when everyone just was small and I was big,\u201d Adams said.\nAdams is big both physically and as part of Dixon\u2019s plan for the upcoming season.\nAdams: I love shooting. I think all big men want to shoot. If they have the chance to shoot it, they\u2019ll shoot it.\nPompeani: What\u2019s your range?\nAdams: I don\u2019t know, I can knock down some threes.\nStops on the tour included Pittsburgh landmarks such as Primanti\u2019s and Mount Washington.\nAdams is excited to be in Pittsburgh and Panthers fans are excited to see him play.\nHe is the No. 1 international ranked recruit and the No. 4 overall recruit, according to Rivals.\nHowever, some people are predicting him to be a one-and-done type of player, but he\u2019s choosing to not look that far ahead.\n\u201cI would like to play in the NBA, but I\u2019m not putting my mind in that sort of area just yet. I just like having fun and enjoying all the little things,\u201d Adams said. \u201cAll I\u2019m trying to do is do hard work. Just make sure I work hard and that\u2019s pretty much it. Work hard for the team and make sure everyone else [is] working hard as well. As long as we do well, as in everyone is playing to the best of their ability, I\u2019ll be happy.\u201d\nAdams is one of 18 kids and his sister, Valerie, is the current world record holder in the shot put.\nShe will also represent New Zealand in the upcoming Olympics in London.\n4-1-Zoo Blog\nMore Reports From Bob Pompeani",

        "raw_content": "River Flowing From The Sunrise: An Environmental History of the Lower San Juan\nJames M Aton December 1, 2000\nThe authors recount twelve millennia of history along the lower San Juan River, much of it the story of mostly unsuccessful human attempts to make a living from the river's arid and fickle environment. From the Anasazi to government dam builders, from Navajo to Mormon herders and farmers, from scientific explorers to busted miners, the San Juan has attracted more attention and fueled more hopes than such a remote, unpromising, and muddy stream would seem to merit.\nHeteroptera of Economic Importance\nCarl W. Schaefer July 28, 2000\nHeteropterans regularly cause a wide variety and large number of problems for humans - at times on a catastrophic scale. The 37,000 described species of this suborder including many pests, disease transmitters, and nuisances exist worldwide, inflicting damage on crops, forests, orchards, and human life. Inspired by the widespread economic impact of this activity, Heteroptera of Economic Importance presents the most thorough, detailed account of true bugs to date, from the bloodsucking bed bug to the dreaded assassin bug. It is the definitive source for biological information not only on true bugs of economic importance, but on the general biology of the major families of Heteroptera as well.\nHeteroptera of Economic Importance integrates the best of insect-focused and crop-oriented references, synthesizing the biology, behavior, and ecology of the true bugs. Each entry includes a detailed life history, helping you to evaluate the impact of harmful and useful Heteroptera. The thorough, comprehensive bibliographies support further research. Separate indices to insects and plants let you adapt the book to your use. It covers the physiology of plant damage and predation by this cosmopolitan group. This coverage, along with information on control measures and natural enemies, helps you evaluate and compare the best methods of management.\nHeteroptera can be serious crop pests, harmful to humans, or can be valuable as biological control agents. This work discusses them individually, with expert presentation of the biology, distribution, damage, and control of each economically significant insect. As a resource that lets you easily access information and research on related bugs globally, Heteroptera of Economic Importance lends itself to sharing of ideas and information across geographical boundaries which will inevitably yield more research, new ideas, and better control.\nMark Talabis November 25, 2014\nInformation Security Analytics gives you insights into the practice of analytics and, more importantly, how you can utilize analytic techniques to identify trends and outliers that may not be possible to identify using traditional security analysis techniques.\nInformation Security Analytics dispels the myth that analytics within the information security domain is limited to just security incident and event management systems and basic network analysis. Analytic techniques can help you mine data and identify patterns and relationships in any form of security data. Using the techniques covered in this book, you will be able to gain security insights into unstructured big data of any type.\nThe authors of Information Security Analytics bring a wealth of analytics experience to demonstrate practical, hands-on techniques through case studies and using freely-available tools that will allow you to find anomalies and outliers by combining disparate data sets. They also teach you everything you need to know about threat simulation techniques and how to use analytics as a powerful decision-making tool to assess security control and process requirements within your organization. Ultimately, you will learn how to use these simulation techniques to help predict and profile potential risks to your organization.\nWritten by security practitioners, for security practitionersReal-world case studies and scenarios are provided for each analytics techniqueLearn about open-source analytics and statistical packages, tools, and applicationsStep-by-step guidance on how to use analytics tools and how they map to the techniques and scenarios providedLearn how to design and utilize simulations for \"what-if\" scenarios to simulate security events and processesLearn how to utilize big data techniques to assist in incident response and intrusion analysis\nLife Everlasting: The Animal Way of Death\nBernd Heinrich June 19, 2012\nAn enlightening look at animal behavior and the cycle of life and death, from \u201cone of the finest naturalists of our time\u201d (Edward O. Wilson).\nWhen a good friend with a severe illness wrote, asking if he might have his \u201cgreen burial\u201d at Bernd Heinrich\u2019s hunting camp in Maine, it inspired the acclaimed biologist to investigate a subject that had long fascinated him. How exactly does the animal world deal with the flip side of the life cycle? And what are the lessons, ecological to spiritual, imparted by a close look at how the animal world renews itself?\nHeinrich focuses his wholly original gaze on the fascinating doings of creatures most of us would otherwise turn away from\u2014field mouse burials conducted by carrion beetles; the communication strategies of ravens, \u201cthe premier northern undertakers\u201d; and the \u201cinadvertent teamwork\u201d among wolves and large cats, foxes and weasels, bald eagles and nuthatches in cold-weather dispersal of prey. Heinrich reveals, too, how and where humans still play our ancient and important role as scavengers, thereby turning not dust to dust, but life to life.\n\u201cIf it has not been clear to readers by now, this book confirms that Bernd Heinrich is one of the finest naturalists of our time. Life Everlasting shines with the authenticity and originality that are unique to a life devoted to natural history in the field.\u201d \u2014Edward O. Wilson, author of The Meaning of Human Existence and The Social Conquest of Earth\nJustin O. Schmidt April 8, 2016\nEntomologist Justin O. Schmidt is on a mission. Some say it\u2019s a brave exploration, others shake their heads in disbelief. His goal? To compare the impacts of stinging insects on humans, mainly using himself as the gauge.\nIn The Sting of the Wild, the colorful Dr. Schmidt takes us on a journey inside the lives of stinging insects, seeing the world through their eyes as well as his own. He explains how and why they attack and reveals the powerful punch they can deliver with a small venom gland and a \"sting,\" the name for the apparatus that delivers the venom. We learn which insects are the worst to encounter and why some are barely worth considering.\nThe Sting of the Wild includes the complete Schmidt Sting Pain Index, published here for the first time. In addition to a numerical ranking of the agony of each of the eighty-three stings he\u2019s sampled so far (from below 1 to an excruciatingly painful 4), Schmidt describes them in prose worthy of a professional wine critic: \"Looks deceive. Rich and full-bodied in appearance, but flavorless\" and \"Pure, intense, brilliant pain. Like walking over flaming charcoal with a three-inch nail embedded in your heel.\"\nSchmidt explains that, for some insects, stinging is used for hunting: small wasps, for example, can paralyze huge caterpillars and then lay their eggs inside so that their larvae can feast within. Others are used to kill competing insects, even members of their own species. Humans usually experience stings as defensive maneuvers used by insects to protect their nest mates.\nWith colorful descriptions of each venom\u2019s sensation and a story that leaves you tingling with awe, The Sting of the Wild\u2019s one-of-a-kind style will fire your imagination.\nVivian Head February 15, 2011\nBees are an integral part of our environment, and by keeping your own you can contribute to their survival as well as ensuring a constant supply of tasty, nutritious honey.

Rearing queens\nDavid Livingstone Smith March 1, 2011\nWinner of the 2012 Anisfield-Wolf Book Award for Nonfiction\nA revelatory look at why we dehumanize each other, with stunning examples from world history as well as today's headlines\n\"Brute.\" \"Cockroach.\" \"Lice.\" \"Vermin.\" \"Dog.\" \"Beast.\" These and other monikers are constantly in use to refer to other humans\u2014for political, religious, ethnic, or sexist reasons. Human beings have a tendency to regard members of their own kind as less than human. This tendency has made atrocities like the Holocaust, the genocide in Rwanda, and the slave trade possible, and yet we still find it in phenomena such as xenophobia, homophobia, military propaganda, and racism. Less Than Human draws on a rich mix of history, psychology, biology, anthropology and philosophy to document the pervasiveness of dehumanization, describe its forms, and explain why we so often resort to it.\nDavid Livingstone Smith posits that this behavior is rooted in human nature, but gives us hope in also stating that biological traits are malleable, showing us that change is possible. Less Than Human is a chilling indictment of our nature, and is as timely as it is relevant.\nAlexandra Horowitz October 4, 2016\nFrom the #1 bestselling author of Inside of a Dog\u2014\u201can incredible journey into the olfactory world of man\u2019s best friend\u201d (O, The Oprah Magazine), Alexandra Horowitz\u2019s follow-up to her New York Times bestseller explains how dogs experience the world through their most spectacular organ\u2014the nose.\nRichard S. Vetter May 7, 2015\nThe brown recluse is a fascinating spider very well adapted to dwelling in houses and other buildings. Because of this very quality and the ghastly reputation associated with the medical consequences of its bite, it has become infamous throughout North America. Although recluse spiders can cause serious skin injuries and, in very rare cases, death, the danger posed by this spider is often exaggerated as a result of arachnophobia and the misdiagnosis of non-spider-related conditions as brown recluse bites. These misdiagnoses often occur in areas of North America where the spider does not exist, making legitimate bites improbable. One of the greatest factors that keeps the myths alive is misidentification of common (and harmless) spiders as brown recluses. With this book, Richard S. Vetter hopes to educate readers regarding the biology of the spider and medical aspects of its bites, to reduce the incidence of misdiagnoses, and to quell misplaced anxiety.In The Brown Recluse Spider, Vetter covers topics such as taxonomy, identification, misidentification, life history characteristics and biology, medical aspects of envenomations, medical conditions misdiagnosed as brown recluse bites, other spider species of medical consideration (several of which have been wrongly implicated as threats to human health), and the psychology behind the entrenched reasons why people believe so deeply in the presence of the spider in the face of strong, contradictory information. Vetter also makes recommendations for control of the spider for households in areas where the spiders are found and describes other species of recluse spiders in North America. Although The Brown Recluse Spider was written for a general audience, it is also a valuable source of information for arachnologists and medical personnel.\nAttracting Beneficial Bugs to Your Garden: A Natural Approach to Pest Control\nJessica Walliser February 26, 2014\nWinner of the American Horticultural Society Book Award\nInsects are indeed valuable garden companions, especially the assassin bugs, damsel bugs, stink bugs, and other predatory carnivores that eat the insects that dine on your garden. Attracting Beneficial Bugs to Your Garden is a book about bugs and plants, and how to create a garden that benefits from both. In addition to information on companion planting and commercial options for purchasing bugs, there are 19 detailed bug profiles and 39 plant profiles. These profiles include a description, a photograph for identification, an explanation of what they can do to support pest control. Design plans show how to create a border specifically for the natural, sustainable inclusion of beneficial bugs in your garden.\nZoology: An Introduction\nKaniz March 2, 2017\nZoology is the branch of biology that deals with the animal kingdom. It\u2019s the scientific study of everything having to do with animals, same as botany is the scientific study of plants. Zoology is a briefly explained field which covers the classification, kingdom of every animal on earth as well as many broader field information and inquiry related to animal life and their behavior.\nThe term zoology was fairly simple back in the 4th Century BC, when the ancient Greek philosopher, Aristotle, proposed some of the first broad of classifications of living beings. He was logically divided and categorized all living beings into animals.\nTopics cover in Zoology: An Introduction are Biodiversity, Taxonomy, Classification of Animals I, Classification of Animals II, Animal Tissues, Nutrition and Food in Animals, Respiration System in Animals, Animal Circulatory System, Excretion and Osmoregulation, Movement and Locomotion, Nervous System and Reproduction in Animals.\nScott Richard Shaw September 11, 2014\nDinosaurs, however toothy, did not rule the earth\u2014and neither do humans. But what were and are the true potentates of our planet? Insects, says Scott Richard Shaw\u2014millions and millions of insect species. Starting in the shallow oceans of ancient Earth and ending in the far reaches of outer space\u2014where, Shaw proposes, insect-like aliens may have achieved similar preeminence\u2014Planet of the Bugs spins a sweeping account of insects\u2019 evolution from humble arthropod ancestors into the bugs we know and love (or fear and hate) today.\nLeaving no stone unturned, Shaw explores how evolutionary innovations such as small body size, wings, metamorphosis, and parasitic behavior have enabled insects to disperse widely, occupy increasingly narrow niches, and survive global catastrophes in their rise to dominance. Through buggy tales by turns bizarre and comical\u2014from caddisflies that construct portable houses or weave silken aquatic nets to trap floating debris, to parasitic wasp larvae that develop in the blood of host insects and, by storing waste products in their rear ends, are able to postpone defecation until after they emerge\u2014he not only unearths how changes in our planet\u2019s geology, flora, and fauna contributed to insects\u2019 success, but also how, in return, insects came to shape terrestrial ecosystems and amplify biodiversity. Indeed, in his visits to hyperdiverse rain forests to highlight the current insect extinction crisis, Shaw reaffirms just how crucial these tiny beings are to planetary health and human survival.\nIn this age of honeybee die-offs and bedbugs hitching rides in the spines of library books, Planet of the Bugs charms with humor, affection, and insight into the world\u2019s six-legged creatures, revealing an essential importance that resonates across time and space.\nGarden Insects of North America: The Ultimate Guide to Backyard Bugs - Second Edition, Edition 2\nWhitney Cranshaw December 5, 2017\nThis second edition of Garden Insects of North America solidifies its place as the most comprehensive guide to the common insects, mites, and other \u201cbugs\u201d found in the backyards and gardens of the United States and Canada.

Bland May 12, 2010\nStudents of entomology at every level need to be able to identify and classify the insects they study. How to Know the Insects has helped generations of readers learn to do just that. The key to insect ordersthe largest section of the bookuses both written text and myriad illustrations to provide identification details down to the family level as well as for common species of each family. In addition, Bland and Jaques provide accounts of insect natural history, the basic biology of each order and of most families, and extensive material in finding, collecting, and preserving insects. The handbook serves as a valuable learning tool or reference for undergraduate and graduate students of entomology, science educators, insect collectors, and anyone interested in the diversity of insects.\nThomas D. Seeley September 20, 2010\nHoneybees make decisions collectively--and democratically. Every year, faced with the life-or-death problem of choosing and traveling to a new home, honeybees stake everything on a process that includes collective fact-finding, vigorous debate, and consensus building. In fact, as world-renowned animal behaviorist Thomas Seeley reveals, these incredible insects have much to teach us when it comes to collective wisdom and effective decision making. A remarkable and richly illustrated account of scientific discovery, Honeybee Democracy brings together, for the first time, decades of Seeley's pioneering research to tell the amazing story of house hunting and democratic debate among the honeybees.\nIn the late spring and early summer, as a bee colony becomes overcrowded, a third of the hive stays behind and rears a new queen, while a swarm of thousands departs with the old queen to produce a daughter colony. Seeley describes how these bees evaluate potential nest sites, advertise their discoveries to one another, engage in open deliberation, choose a final site, and navigate together--as a swirling cloud of bees--to their new home. Seeley investigates how evolution has honed the decision-making methods of honeybees over millions of years, and he considers similarities between the ways that bee swarms and primate brains process information. He concludes that what works well for bees can also work well for people: any decision-making group should consist of individuals with shared interests and mutual respect, a leader's influence should be minimized, debate should be relied upon, diverse solutions should be sought, and the majority should be counted on for a dependable resolution.\nAn impressive exploration of animal behavior, Honeybee Democracy shows that decision-making groups, whether honeybee or human, can be smarter than even the smartest individuals in them.\nThe Insects: An Outline of Entomology, Edition 3\nP.

James February 14, 2018\nThe weird and wonderful world of insects boasts some of the strangest creatures found in nature, and caterpillars are perhaps the most bizarre of all. While most of us picture caterpillars as cute fuzzballs munching on leaves, there is much more to them than we imagine. A caterpillar\u2019s survival hinges on finding enough food and defending itself from the array of natural enemies lined up to pounce and consume. And the astounding adaptations and strategies they have developed to maximize their chances of becoming a butterfly or moth are only just beginning to be understood, from the Spicebush Swallowtail caterpillar that resembles a small snake to the Eastern Carpenter Bee Hawkmoth caterpillar that attempts to dissuade potential predators by looking like a diseased leaf.\nThe Book of Caterpillars unveils the mysteries of six hundred species from around the world, introducing readers to the complexity and beauty of these underappreciated insects. With the advent of high-quality digital macrophotography, the world of caterpillars is finally opening up. The book presents a wealth of stunning imagery that showcases the astonishing diversity of caterpillar design, structure, coloration, and patterning. Each entry also features a two-tone engraving of the adult specimen, emphasizing the wing patterns and shades, as well as a population distribution map and table of essential information that includes their habitat, typical host plants, and conservation status. Throughout the book are fascinating facts that will enthrall expert entomologists and curious collectors alike.\nA visually rich and scientifically accurate guide to six hundred of the world\u2019s most peculiar caterpillars, this volume presents readers with a rare, detailed look at these intriguing forms of insect life.\nFirst in Fly: <i>Drosophila</i> Research and Biological Discovery\nStephanie Elizabeth Mohr March 9, 2018\nA single species of fly, Drosophila melanogaster, has been the subject of scientific research for more than one hundred years. Why does this tiny insect merit such intense scrutiny? Drosophila\u2019s importance as a research organism began with its short life cycle, ability to reproduce in large numbers, and easy-to-see mutant phenotypes. Over time, laboratory investigation revealed surprising similarities between flies and other animals at the level of genes, gene networks, cell interactions, physiology, immunity, and behavior. Like humans, flies learn and remember, fight microbial infection, and slow down as they age. Scientists use Drosophila to investigate complex biological activities in a simple but intact living system. Fly research provides answers to some of the most challenging questions in biology and biomedicine, including how cells transmit signals and form ordered structures, how we can interpret the wealth of human genome data now available, and how we can develop effective treatments for cancer, diabetes, and neurodegenerative diseases. Written by a leader in the Drosophila research community, First in Fly celebrates key insights uncovered by investigators using this model organism. Stephanie Elizabeth Mohr draws on these \u201cfirst in fly\u201d findings to introduce fundamental biological concepts gained over the last century and explore how research in the common fruit fly has expanded our understanding of human health and disease.\nUnderbug: An Obsessive Tale of Termites and Technology\nLisa Margonelli August 21, 2018\nThe award-winning journalist Lisa Margonelli, national bestselling author of Oil on the Brain: Petroleum\u2019s Long, Strange Trip to Your Tank, investigates the environmental and economic impact termites inflict on human societies in this fascinating examination of one of nature\u2019s most misunderstood insects.\nAre we more like termites than we ever imagined? In Underbug, the award-winning journalist Lisa Margonelli introduces us to the enigmatic creatures that collectively outweigh human beings ten to one and consume $40 billion worth of valuable stuff annually\u2014and yet, in Margonelli\u2019s telling, seem weirdly familiar. Over the course of a decade-long obsession with the little bugs, Margonelli pokes around termite mounds and high-tech research facilities, closely watching biologists, roboticists, and geneticists. Her globe-trotting journey veers into uncharted territory, from evolutionary theory to Edwardian science literature to the military industrial complex. What begins as a natural history of the termite becomes a personal exploration of the unnatural future we\u2019re building, with darker observations on power, technology, historical trauma, and the limits of human cognition.\nWhether in Namibia or Cambridge, Arizona or Australia, Margonelli turns up astounding facts and raises provocative questions. Is a termite an individual or a unit of a superorganism? Can we harness the termite\u2019s properties to change the world? If we build termite-like swarming robots, will they inevitably destroy us? Is it possible to think without having a mind? Underbug burrows into these questions and many others\u2014unearthing disquieting answers about the world\u2019s most underrated insect and what it means to be human.\nField Guide to the Spiders of California and the Pacific Coast States Field Guide to the Spiders of California and the Pacific Coast States Book 108\nRichard J. Adams Book 108 January 28, 2014\nJeffrey Lockwood September 25, 2013\nThe human reaction to insects is neither purely biological nor simply cultural. And no one reacts to insects with indifference. Insects frighten, disgust and fascinate us. Jeff Lockwood explores this phenomenon through evolutionary science, human history, and contemporary psychology, as well as a debilitating bout with entomophobia in his work as an entomologist. Exploring the nature of anxiety and phobia, Lockwood explores the lively debate about how much of our fear of insects can be attributed to ancestral predisposition for our own survival and how much is learned through individual experiences. Drawing on vivid case studies, Lockwood explains how insects have come to infest our minds in sometimes devastating ways and supersede even the most rational understanding of the benefits these creatures provide. No one can claim to be ambivalent in the face of wasps, cockroaches or maggots but our collective entomophobia is wreaking havoc on the natural world as we soak our food, homes and gardens in powerful insecticides. Lockwood dissects our common reactions, distinguishing between disgust and fear, and invites readers to consider their own emotional and physiological reactions to insects in a new framework that he's derived from cutting-edge biological, psychological, and social science.\nBiology of Spiders: Edition 3\nRainer Foelix December 31, 2010\nOne of the only books to treat the whole spider, from its behavior and physiology to its neurobiology and reproductive characteristics, Biology of Spiders is considered a classic in spider literature. First published in German in 1979, the book is now in its third edition, and has established itself as the supreme authority on these fascinating creatures. Containing five hundred new references, this book incorporates the latest research while dispelling many oft-heard myths and misconceptions that surround spiders. Of special interest are chapters on the structure and function of spider webs and silk, as well as those on spider venom. A new subchapter on tarantulas will appeal especially to tarantula keepers and breeders. The highly accessible text is supplemented by exceptional, high-quality photographs, many of them originals, and detailed diagrams. It will be of interest to arachnologists, entomologists, and zoologists, as well as to academics, students of biology, and the general reader curious about spiders.\nThe Homing Instinct: Meaning & Mystery in Animal Migration\nBernd Heinrich April 8, 2014\n\u201cA noted naturalist explores the centrality of home in the lives of humans and other animals . . . A special treat for readers of natural history\u201d (Kirkus Reviews).\nEvery year, many species make the journey from one place to another, following the same paths and ending up in the same places. Every year since boyhood, the acclaimed scientist and author Bernd Heinrich has done the same, returning to a beloved patch of western Maine woods. Which led him to wonder: What is the biology in humans of this primal pull toward a particular place, and how is it related to animal homing?\nIn The Homing Instinct, Heinrich explores the fascinating mysteries of animal migration: how geese imprint true visual landscape memory; how scent trails are used by many creatures to locate their homes with pinpoint accuracy; and how even the tiniest of songbirds are equipped for solar and magnetic orienteering over vast distances. And he reminds us that to discount our human emotions toward home is to ignore biology itself.\n\u201cA graceful blend of science and memoir . . . [Heinrich\u2019s] ability to linger and simply be there for the moment when, for instance, an elderly spider descends from a silken strand to take the insect he offers her is the heart of his appeal.\u201d \u2014Julie Zickefoose, The Wall Street Journal\n\u201cDeep and insightful writing.\u201d \u2014David Gessner, The Washington Post\nMedical and Veterinary Entomology: Edition 2\nGary R.

McWilliams June 17, 2008\nThe world of insects is one we only dimly understand. Yet from using arsenic, cobalt, and quicksilver to kill household infiltrators to employing the sophisticated tools of the Orkin Man, Americans have fought to eradicate the \"bugs\" they have learned to hate.\nInspired by the still-revolutionary theories of Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, James E. McWilliams argues for a more harmonious and rational approach to our relationship with insects, one that does not harm our environment and, consequently, ourselves along the way. Beginning with the early techniques of colonial farmers and ending with the modern use of chemical insecticides, McWilliams deftly shows how America's war on insects mirrors its continual struggle with nature, economic development, technology, and federal regulation. He reveals a very American paradox: the men and women who settled and developed this country sought to control the environment and achieve certain economic goals; yet their methods of agricultural expansion undermined their efforts and linked them even closer to the inexorable realities of the insect world.\nAs told from the perspective of the often flamboyant actors in the battle against insects, American Pests is a fascinating investigation into the attitudes, policies, and practices that continue to influence our behavior toward insects. Asking us to question, if not abandon, our reckless (and sometimes futile) attempts at insect control, McWilliams convincingly argues that insects, like people, have an inherent right to exist and that in our attempt to rid ourselves of insects, we compromise the balance of nature.\nCommon Nymphs of Eastern North America: A Primer for Flyfishers and Flytiers\nCaleb J. Tzilkowski September 21, 2011\nAlthough the concept of \u201cmatching the hatch\u201d has been central to flyfishing for 150 years, it has been used almost exclusively for dry flyfishing. With Common Nymphs of Eastern North America: A Primer for Flyfishers and Flytiers, Caleb Tzilkowski and Jay Stauffer Jr. take trout enthusiasts in another hatch-matching direction\u2014to the year-round underwater nymph \u201chatch,\u201d which, in most cases, constitutes 90 percent of trout diets.\nSuccessful flyfishers have at least rudimentary knowledge of the organisms that artificial flies imitate. The relatively few and very best anglers are expert at identifying and imitating nymph appearances and habits. A major hurdle to becoming expert at nymph matching is overcoming two major limitations that make these animals difficult to locate, capture, and identify: first, nymphs live underwater, sometimes burrowed into the stream bottom, and second, many nymphs are nearly microscopic in size. Common Nymphs addresses those challenges by including habitat and life history information regarding the nymphs, tips for their identification, and representative high-resolution photographs of more than thirty types of aquatic organisms and their imitations.\nIn the seemingly saturated flyfishing literature, this book offers something truly groundbreaking. With state-of-the-art microscopy and their years of scientific and practical experience, Tzilkowski and Stauffer provide readers an innovative close-up look at identifying and imitating nymphs that have been historically underrepresented in the flyfishing and flytying literature.\nBugs In The System: Insects And Their Impact On Human Affairs\nMay R. Berenbaum June 18, 1996\nAn introduction to insect physiology, genetics and behaviour which looks at the interaction between humans and insects, and explores both the positive and negative aspects of the relationship.\nBees: Their Vision, Chemical Senses, and Language, Edition 2\nKarl von Frisch August 6, 2014\nOver half a century of brilliant scientific detective work, the Nobel Prize-winning biologist Karl von Frisch learned how the world, looks, smells, and tastes to a bee. More significantly, he discovered their dance language and their ability to use the sun as a compass. Intended to serve as an accessible introduction to one of the most fascinating areas of biology, Bees (first published in 1950 and revised in 1971), reported the startling results of his ingenious and revolutionary experiments with honeybees.In his revisions, von Frisch updated his discussion about the phylogenetic origin of the language of bees and also demonstrated that their color sense is greater than had been thought previously. He also took into consideration the electrophysiological experiments and electromicroscopic observations that have supplied more information on how the bee analyzes polarized light to orient itself and how the olfactory organs on the bee's antennae function.Now back in print after more than two decades, this classic and still-accurate account of the behavior patterns and sensory capacities of the honeybee remains a book \"written with a simplicity, directness, and charm which all who know him will recognize as characteristic of its author. Any intelligent reader, without scientific training, can enjoy it.\"\u2014Yale Review\nThe Formation of Vegetable Mould, Through the Action of Worms, with Observations on Their Habits\nCharles Darwin May 20, 2015\nDifficult to obtain in its original print this classic work on ecology is a fascinating read for anybody with a passion for systems in the natural world.

Ellison November 1, 2012\nThis book is the first user-friendly regional guide devoted to ants\u2014the \u201clittle things that run the world.\u201d Lavishly illustrated with more than 500 line drawings, 300-plus photographs, and regional distribution maps as composite illustrations for every species, this guide will introduce amateur and professional naturalists and biologists, teachers and students, and environmental managers and pest-control professionals to more than 140 ant species found in the northeastern United States and eastern Canada.\nThe detailed drawings and species descriptions, together with the high-magnification photographs, will allow anyone to identify and learn about ants and their diversity, ecology, life histories, and beauty. In addition, the book includes sections on collecting ants, ant ecology and evolution, natural history, and patterns of geographic distribution and diversity to help readers gain a greater understanding and appreciation of ants.\nAdventures among Ants: A Global Safari with a Cast of Trillions\nMark W. Moffett May 5, 2010\nIntrepid international explorer, biologist, and photographer Mark W. Moffett, \"the Indiana Jones of entomology,\" takes us around the globe on a strange and colorful journey in search of the hidden world of ants. In tales from Nigeria, Indonesia, the Amazon, Australia, California, and elsewhere, Moffett recounts his entomological exploits and provides fascinating details on how ants live and how they dominate their ecosystems through strikingly human behaviors, yet at a different scale and a faster tempo. Moffett\u2019s spectacular close-up photographs shrink us down to size, so that we can observe ants in familiar roles; warriors, builders, big-game hunters, and slave owners. We find them creating marketplaces and assembly lines and dealing with issues we think of as uniquely human\u2014including hygiene, recycling, and warfare. Adventures among Ants introduces some of the world\u2019s most awe-inspiring species and offers a startling new perspective on the limits of our own perception.\nKaren S. Oberhauser November 16, 2015\nMonarch butterflies are among the most popular insect species in the world and are an icon for conservation groups and environmental education programs. Monarch caterpillars and adults are easily recognizable as welcome visitors to gardens in North America and beyond, and their spectacular migration in eastern North America (from breeding locations in Canada and the United States to overwintering sites in Mexico) has captured the imagination of the public.Monarch migration, behavior, and chemical ecology have been studied for decades. Yet many aspects of monarch biology have come to light in only the past few years. These aspects include questions regarding large-scale trends in monarch population sizes, monarch interactions with pathogens and insect predators, and monarch molecular genetics and large-scale evolution. A growing number of current research findings build on the observations of citizen scientists, who monitor monarch migration, reproduction, survival, and disease. Monarchs face new threats from humans as they navigate a changing landscape marked by deforestation, pesticides, genetically modified crops, and a changing climate, all of which place the future of monarchs and their amazing migration in peril. To meet the demand for a timely synthesis of monarch biology, conservation and outreach, Monarchs in a Changing World summarizes recent developments in scientific research, highlights challenges and responses to threats to monarch conservation, and showcases the many ways that monarchs are used in citizen science programs, outreach, and education. It examines issues pertaining to the eastern and western North American migratory populations, as well as to monarchs in South America, the Pacific and Caribbean Islands, and Europe. The target audience includes entomologists, population biologists, conservation policymakers, and K\u201312 teachers.Contributors: Anurag A. Agrawal, Cornell University; Jared G.

In essence, it seeks to understand how humans study and conceive of other-than-human animals, and how these conceptions have changed over time, across cultures, and across different ways of thinking. This interdisciplinary introduction to the field boldly and creatively foregrounds the realities of nonhuman animals, as well as the imaginative and ethical faculties that humans must engage to consider our intersection with living beings outside of our species. It also compellingly demonstrates that the breadth and depth of thinking and humility needed to grasp the human-nonhuman intersection has the potential to expand the dualism that currently divides the sciences and humanities. As the first holistic survey of the field, Animal Studies is essential reading for any student of human-animal relationships and for all people who care about the role nonhuman animals play in our society.\nTEXTBOOK OF ANIMAL BEHAVIOUR, THIRD EDITION\nMANDAL, FATIK BARAN September 18, 2015\nThis well-accepted book, now in its Third Edition, is an extension of the previous edition. The text has further enriched with more information to understand animal behaviour coherently and scientifically.\nThe book attempts to provide a reasonably suitable account of animal behaviour for undergraduate as well as postgraduate students. Although behaviour of animals has fascinated people for a long, behavioural biology has been incorporated in the syllabi very recently. The study of behaviour received its important boost from the work of Charles Darwin who used the term \u2018instinct\u2019, to refer to the natural behaviour of animals. In the 1930s, a comprehensive theory of animal behaviour emerged through the work of Konrad Lorenz and, later of Niko Tinbergen. Biological study of behaviour, in fact came of age as a science when Lorenz, Tinbergen and Karl von Frisch received the Nobel Prize for their contribution to science.\nObserving and describing exactly what animals do is fascinating and scientific analysis of their behaviour is significant for several reasons. Each species tends to have an array of stereotyped behaviours, some of which are shared with related species, but others are unique. Ecology, natural selection, macroevolution, microevolution, and gene constitute the foundation of animal behaviour. Various animal groups exhibit diverse strategies for their survival and reproduction which are discussed in this book.\nThe book is primarily intended for the students of B.Sc./M.Sc. (Zoology/Life Science) for their courses. It would be useful for the researchers in the field of animal behaviour, and conservation biologists. It would also attract students who are pursuing courses in Sociology and Anthropology.\n\u2022 Presents a well-balanced view of ethology.\n\u2022 Discusses the current development in the field.\n\u2022 Includes a glossary of important terms.\n\u2022 Offers chapter-end questions to check the students\u2019 understanding of the concept.\nIntegrated Pest Management: Current Concepts and Ecological Perspective\nDharam P Abrol August 28, 2013\nIntegrated Pest Management: Current Concepts and Ecological Perspective presents an overview of alternative measures to traditional pest management practices using biological control and biotechnology. The removal of some highly effective broad-spectrum chemicals, caused by concerns over environmental health and public safety, has resulted in the development of alternative, reduced risk crop protection products. These products, less toxic to the environment and easily integrated into biological control systems, target specific life stages or pest species. Predation \u2014 recognized as a suitable, long-term strategy \u2014 effectively suppresses pests in biotechnological control systems.\nIntegrated Pest Management covers these topics and more. It explores the current ecological approaches in alternative solutions, such as biological control agents, parasites and predators, pathogenic microorganisms, pheromones and natural products as well as ecological approaches for managing invasive pests, rats, suppression of weeds, safety of pollinators, role of taxonomy and remote sensing in IPM and future projections of IPM. This book is a useful resource to entomologists, agronomists, horticulturists, and environmental scientists.\nFills a gap in the literature by providing critical analysis of different management strategies that have a bearing on agriculture, sustainability and environmental protection Synthesizes research and practice on integrated pest managementEmphasizes an overview of management strategies, with critical evaluation of each in the larger context of ecologically based pest management\nJuan A. Morales-Ramos October 8, 2013\nMass Production of Beneficial Organisms: Invertebrates and Entomopathogens is an essential reference and teaching tool for researchers in developed and developing countries working to produce \"natural enemies\" in biological control and integrated pest management programs.\nAs we become aware of the negative impact of pesticides in human health and on the environment, interest is rapidly increasing in developing biological pest control alternatives. Tremendous advances have been made in beneficial organism technology, such as insect predators and parasitoids, mite predators, entomopathogenic nematodes, fungi, bacteria, and viruses. However, developing techniques to mass produce these biological control agents is not enough if the cost of commercialization is prohibitive. Advancing mass production to the level of economic feasibility is critical, so these new technologies can compete in the open market.\nThis book educates academic and industry researchers, and enables further development of mass production so new technologies can compete in the open market. It is also an excellent resource for those researching beneficial arthropod mass production and technologies for other uses, including for study and application in biotechnology and biomedical research.\nFocuses on techniques for mass production of beneficial organisms and methods of evaluation and quality assessmentOrganizes and presents the most advanced and current knowledge on methods to mass produce beneficial organisms in response to the increased global demand for alternatives to chemical pesticides for biological control producers Includes a team of highly respected editors and authors with broad expertise in these areas\nRobert Van Den Bosch November 17, 1989\nProfessor van den Bosch of the University of California was one of the developers of Integrated Pest Management\u2014the use of biological controls, improved pest knowledge and observation, and judicious application of chemicals only when absolutely necessary. His research often suggested that less or no pesticides should be applied, which made him the target of both open and clandestine attack from industry and government figures. In protest, he wrote this passionate account of what Ecology called \"the ultimate social disaster of: evolving pesticide-resistant insects, the destruction of their natural predators and parasites, emergent populations of new insect pests, downstream water pollution, atmospheric pollution, the 'accidental' killing of wildlife and people, and the bankruptcies of indigenous and small farmers.\"\nAs a new Introduction to this edition recounts, some lessening of dangerous overreliance on massive pesticide applications has been achieved since van den Bosch published this book in 1978\u2014partly as a result of its influence. But the structural problems he described remain. The book has thus become a classic, along with Rachel Carson's Silent Spring.\nField Guide to the Flower Flies of Northeastern North America\nJeffrey H. Skevington May 7, 2019\nA groundbreaking guide to flower flies in North America\nThis is the first comprehensive field guide to the flower flies (also known as hover flies) of northeastern North America. Flower flies are, along with bees, our most important pollinators. Found in a varied range of habitats, from backyard gardens to aquatic ecosystems, these flies are often overlooked because many of their species mimic bees or wasps. Despite this, many species are distinctive and even subtly differentiated species can be accurately identified. This handy and informative guide teaches you how.\nWith more than 3,000 color photographs and 400 maps, this guide covers all 416 species of flower flies that occur north of Tennessee and east of the Dakotas, including the high Arctic and Greenland. Each species account provides information on size, identification, abundance, and flight time, along with notes on behavior, classification, hybridization, habitats, larvae, and more.\nSummarizing the current scientific understanding of our flower fly fauna, this is an indispensable resource for anyone, amateur naturalist or scientist, interested in discovering the beauty of these insects.\n\u00b7 3000+ color photos (field and museum shots)\n\u00b7 Multiple images per species, with arrows highlighting key field marks\n\u00b7 Grayscale images showing the actual size of the insect\n\u00b7 Range maps for each species\n\u00b7 Information on size, identification features, abundance, flight times, and more\nInsects, Science & Society\nDavid Pimentel December 2, 2012\nInsects, Science, & Society documents the proceedings of a symposium of the same name celebrating the centennial of entomology at Cornell University. The symposium and the resulting book brought together some of the world's leading entomologists, who discussed recent advances in their diverse specialties. In commemorating the hundred years of entomology, the symposium also honors the founder of the department at Cornell, John Henry Comstock, whose investigations encompassed not only many aspects of entomology\u2014insect taxonomy, morphology, and ecology\u2014but also focused on practical problems of pest control.\nStarting with a discussion that provides a broad perspective of the interrelationship of insects, science, and society, the remainder of the book presents the contributions made by researchers at the symposium. These contributions are organized into five parts. Part I discusses aspects of the social implications of insects. Part II deals with communication among insects. Part III examines other interactions among insects and between insects and plants. Part IV covers insect population dynamics. Part V deals with insect pest management.\nCaterpillars of Eastern North America: A Guide to Identification and Natural History\nDavid L. Wagner April 25, 2010\nThis lavishly illustrated guide will enable you to identify the caterpillars of nearly 700 butterflies and moths found east of the Mississippi. The more than 1,200 color photographs and two dozen line drawings include numerous exceptionally striking images. The giant silk moths, tiger moths, and many other species covered include forest pests, common garden guests, economically important species, and of course, the Mescal Worm and Mexican Jumping Bean caterpillars. Full-page species accounts cover almost 400 species, with up to six images per species including an image of the adult plus succinct text with information on distribution, seasonal activity, foodplants, and life history. These accounts are generously complemented with additional images of earlier instars, closely related species, noteworthy behaviors, and other intriguing aspects of caterpillar biology.\nMany caterpillars are illustrated here for the first time. Dozens of new foodplant records are presented and erroneous records are corrected. The book provides considerable information on the distribution, biology, and taxonomy of caterpillars beyond that available in other popular works on Eastern butterflies and moths. The introductory chapter covers caterpillar structure, life cycles, rearing, natural enemies, photography, and conservation. The section titled \"Caterpillar Projects\" will be of special interest to educators.\nGiven the dearth of accessible guides on the identification and natural history of caterpillars, Caterpillars of Eastern North America is a must for entomologists and museum curators, forest managers, conservation biologists and others who seek a compact, easy-to-use guide to the caterpillars of this vast region.\nA compact guide to nearly 700 caterpillars east of the Mississippi, from forest pests to garden guests and economically important species\n1,200 color photos and 24 line drawings enable easy identification\nFull-page species accounts with image of adult insect for almost 400 species, plus succinct text on distribution and other vital information\nMany caterpillars illustrated here for the first time\nCurrent information on distribution, biology, and taxonomy not found in other popular works\nA section geared toward educators, \"Caterpillar Projects\"\nAn indispensable resource for all who seek an easy-to-use guide to the caterpillars of this vast region\nIlkka Hanski July 14, 2014\nIn many ecosystems dung beetles play a crucial role--both ecologically and economically--in the decomposition of large herbivore dung. Their activities provide scientists with an excellent opportunity to explore biological community dynamics. This collection of essays offers a concise account of the population and community ecology of dung beetles worldwide, with an emphasis on comparisons between arctic, temperate, and tropical species assemblages. Useful insights arise from relating the vast differences in species' life histories to their population and community-level consequences. The authors also discuss changes in dung beetle faunas due to human-caused habitat alteration and examine the possible effects of introducing dung beetles to cattle-breeding areas that lack efficient native species. \"With the expansion of cattle breeding areas, the ecology of dung beetles is a subject of great economic concern as well as one of intense theoretical interest. This excellent book represents an up-to-date ecological study covering important aspects of the dung beetle never before presented.\"--Gonzalo Halffter, Instituto de Ecologia, Mexico City\nEdible Insects of the World\nJun Mitsuhashi December 19, 2016\nThe first book on entomophagy written in this manner, Edible Insects of the World is an enumeration of 2,141 species of edible insects. For the reader\u2019s convenience, insect names are arranged much like a dictionary, first by taxonomic group and then by country. In addition to taxonomic and location information, entries contain applicable details about the history of entomophagy, collecting, cooking, and medicinal uses.\nMike Picker May 30, 2012\nThis is the first comprehensive field guide to the insect fauna of South Africa, with detailed descriptions of over 1 200 of the most common, most economically and ecologically important, and most interesting and attractive insects in the region. The easy-to-read text is matched with superb photography. Each account covers identification, biology, distribution and related species, and is accompanied by a colour photograph of the species or family.\nJon F. Harrison January 26, 2012\nInsects are the most ecologically important multicellular heterotrophs in terrestrial systems. They play critical roles in ecological food webs, remain devastating agricultural and medical pests, and represent the most diverse group of eukaryotes in terms of species numbers. Their dominant role among terrestrial heterotrophs arises from a number of key physiological traits, and in particular by the developmental and evolutionary plasticity of these traits. Ecological and Environmental Physiology of Insects presents a current and comprehensive overview of how the key physiological traits of insects respond to environmental variation. It forges conceptual links from molecular biology through organismal function to population and community ecology. As with other books in the Series, the emphasis is on the unique physiological characteristics of the insects, but with applications to questions of broad relevance in physiological ecology. As an aid to new researchers on insects, it also includes introductory chapters on the basics and techniques of insect physiology ecology.\nInsect Behavior: From Mechanisms to Ecological and Evolutionary Consequences\nAlex C\u00f3rdoba-Aguilar July 19, 2018\nInsects display a staggering diversity of behaviors. Studying these systems provides insights into a wide range of ecological, evolutionary, and behavioral questions including the genetics of behavior, phenotypic plasticity, chemical communication, and the evolution of life-history traits. This accessible text offers a new approach that provides the reader with the necessary theoretical and conceptual foundations, at different hierarchical levels, to understand insect behavior. The book is divided into three main sections: mechanisms, ecological and evolutionary consequences, and applied issues. The final section places the preceding chapters within a framework of current threats to human survival - climate change, disease, and food security - before providing suggestions and insights as to how we can utilize an understanding of insect behavior to control and/or ameliorate them. Each chapter provides a concise, authoritative review of the conceptual, theoretical, and methodological foundations of each topic.\nCarrion Ecology, Evolution, and Their Applications\nM. Eric Benbow August 18, 2015\nShortlisted for the 2018 TWS Wildlife Publication Awards in the edited book category\nDecomposition and recycling of vertebrate remains have been understudied, hampered largely due to these processes being aesthetically challenging (e.g., smell and sight). Technological innovations have provided the means to explore new and historically understood natural systems to give us a plethora of new information. Carrion Ecology, Evolution, and Their Applications covers a broad spectrum of topics including the molecular mechanistic foundations that provide the basis for intra- and interspecific interactions related to population biology, community ecology, and how this manifests into habitat- and ecosystem-level importance. The book connects the science of carrion decomposition from genes to ecosystems in multidisciplinary synthesis of the science.\nThis book brings together a team of global experts involved with measuring and understanding the process and effects of carrion ecology in nature, with special application in such applied fields as forensic entomology, habitat management, animal production (e.g., livestock and aquaculture), and human and environmental health. It fills a large literature gap in ecology, providing a synthesis and future directions important for studies of carrion decomposition that improve the general understanding of decomposition in ecosystems. The book fuses multiple disciplines into a single message explaining the importance of vertebrate carrion ecology in nature.\nIllustrates Carrion Decomposition in a 16-Page Color Insert with 40 Photos\nThe authors illustrate how the study of carrion transcends the globe and expands systems of inquiry, broadening awareness of this important ecosystem process. Whether you are a student, academic, or professional, you will find this book insightful for the fields of molecular ecology, microbiology, entomology, forensics, population biology, community and ecosystem ecology, and human and environmental health.\nInterrelationships of the Platyhelminthes\nD T J Littlewood April 21, 2014\nThe phylum Platyhelminthes is comprised of some 50,000 species of flatworms living in a wide variety of habitats - from the deep sea to the damp soil of tropical forests- where they occupy pivotal roles in many ecosystems. The parasitic forms include tapeworms and flukes, which plague virtually every species of vertebrates and impose major medical, veterinary, and economic burdens.\nInterrelationships of the Platyhelminthes elucidates the role of flatworms in the animal kingdom. It brings together results from an international group of experts, spanning many disciplines, who give evidence for the phylogeny of the flatworms and constituent major taxa. A combined approach, using traditional comparative techniques along with the modern techniques of molecular phylogeny, is utilized to show that the monophyly of the phylum is not fully established, and that the phylum may in fact consist of two groups: the acoels and their direct relatives, which are basal metazoans, and the Rhabditophora, which is a more derived group. The authors review the contributions of neurobiology, morphology, and developmental and molecular biology in light of their contributions to flatworm phylogenetics.\nThis volume provides explicit and fully defined character matrices wherever possible allowing critics, supporters, and future workers to evaluate the state of flatworms systematics and phylogenetics from a single resource. This volume will appeal to all who have an interest in flatworms and recognize the value of phylogenetics as the basis for comparative biology.\nInsect Diets: Science and Technology, Second Edition, Edition 2\nAllen Carson Cohen June 15, 2015\nDr. Allen Carson Cohen\u2019s new edition of Insect Diets: Science and Technology continues to provide a current, integrated review of the field of insect diets. It reaffirms and expands upon the belief that the science of diet development and the technology of diet application in rearing programs require formal foundations and guidelines. Cohen argues for a data-driven approach as well as a focus on humane treatment in insect rearing programs. He also calls for academics and industries to make a new push toward statistical process control (SPC) in their approaches to rearing in general, using his own work with insects as a paradigm. This approach yields the benefits of careful scientific analysis by addressing issues of quality and efficiency in academic research and industrial practices and applications.\nSee What\u2019s New in the Second Edition:\nThis edition expands upon the role of food science in the use of artificial diets in rearing programs, especially texture analysis with rheological techniques. It includes an entirely new chapter focused solely on the subject of food quality in insect diets. The book also revisits microbial relationships to insect diets as a powerful influence on their feeding processes and emphasizes a new, better understanding and utilization of the relationship between insects and microbes in artificial diets.\nCohen also expands his vision of the future of insect rearing, including the use of insects themselves as a potential food source for a rapidly expanding global human population. To that end, this book gives you guidelines to develop, use, and evaluate artificial diets in order to improve their cost and scientific efficiency in the rearing of insects, because as the author urges, it is important to \"know your insect.\" This understanding will serve the multifaceted goals of using insect rearing for research and teaching, pest management strategies and biocontrol agents, as food for other organisms, and for many other purposes.\nGary J. Blomquist October 8, 2003\nA valuable new reference on insect behavior, this exceptional new text delves into the primary sensory communication system used by most insects -- their sense of smell. Insect Pheromone Biochemistry and Molecular Biology covers how insects produce pheromones and how they detect pheromones and plant volatiles. Since insects rely on pheromone detection for both feeding and breeding, a better understanding of insect olfaction and pheromone biosynthesis could help curb the behavior of pests without the use of harmful pesticides and even help to reduce the socio-economic impacts associated to human-insect interactions.Covers biochemistry and molecular biology of insect pheromone productionExplains pheromone production in moths, beetles, flies, and social insectsDescribes pheromone and plant volatile reception\nPheromones: Olfaction and Classification\nVeeraswami Nandagopal June 14, 2018\nThis book enables the students, researchers and teachers of crop protection faculty to understand and practice the pheromones of the fauna that have been designated by scientists. This compendium of information includes the following topics amongst others:\n\u2022 A timeline detailing the history of the pheromones\n\u2022 Information on the mentors of pheromone research\n\u2022 Types of signalling in various groups of fauna\n\u2022 Modes of communication among fauna and insects\n\u2022 Alarm signals, attractants, recognition signals, indirect guiding Kinesis, orthokinesis, klinokinesis, etc.\n\u2022 Types of communication among conspecifics\n\u2022 Modes of Communication\n\u2022 The broad categories of the pheromones\n\u2022 Pheromones in fiction, media franchises, literature etc.\n\u2022 Courting behaviour of fauna\n\u2022 Mating categories and mating behaviour and much more\nThe book contains the 12 different types of classifications which are the world standard classification. In addition, for the benefit of researchers, and field workers, the various types of dispensers used in traps are mentioned. The book also discusses the possibilities of pheromones as antiseptic chemicals and pheromonotherapy amongst various other facts.\nDr. Eleanor's Book of Common Spiders\nChristopher M. Buddle February 6, 2018\nSpiders have a problem, and it\u2019s us. Despite their magnificent talents for crafting webs, capturing mosquitoes, and camouflage, for millennia arachnophobia has hampered our ability to appreciate these eight-legged and -eyed marvels.\nNo longer! In this witty, accessible, and beautifully illustrated guide, Christopher M. Buddle and Eleanor Spicer Rice metamorphose creepy-crawly revulsion into spider wonder. Emerging from ambitious citizen science project Your Wild Life (an initiative based at North Carolina State University), Dr. Eleanor's Book of Common Spiders provides an eye-opening arachnological overview of the natural history of species most noted by project participants, showcasing some of the fascinating spiders found in our attics and tents, front lawns and forests\u2014and even introducing us to spiders that fish. Exploring species from the tiny (but gymnastic) zebra jumping spider to the naturally shy and woefully misunderstood black widow, this guide will be a tremendous resource for teachers, students, and scientists alike. But more than this, it will transform the way we perceive the environment around us by deepening our understanding of its littlest inhabitants, inspiring all of us to find our inner naturalist, get outside, and crawl across the dirt\u2014magnifying glass in hand.\nWhat Bit Me?: Identifying Hawai'i's Stinging and Biting Insects and Their Kin\nGordon M. Nishida January 1, 1993\nThis reference covers the stinging and biting insects, spiders, mites, ticks, and their relatives commonly encountered by humans and pets in Hawai'i. In language understandable by nonscientists, the authors explain the history, life cycle, structure, and venoms and toxins known for each pest species. They provide descriptions to help you recognize what has bitten or stung you and to help you distinguish insects that are nuisances from those that are potentially dangerous. They also discuss how to treat bites and stings safely. What Bit Me? belongs on every home medical bookshelf. It contains information essential to parents, anyone who works with children, hikers, gardeners, agricultural workers, and especially health professionals. Book jacket.\nRichard Schweid June 4, 2015\nSkittering figures of urban legend\u2014and a ubiquitous reality\u2014cockroaches are nearly as abhorred as they are ancient. Even as our efforts to exterminate them have developed into ever more complex forms of chemical warfare, roaches\u2019 basic design of six legs, two hypersensitive antennae, and one set of voracious mandibles has persisted unchanged for millions of years. But as Richard Schweid shows in The Cockroach Papers, while some species of these evolutionary superstars do indeed plague our kitchens and restaurants, exacerbate our asthma, and carry disease, our belief in their total villainy is ultimately misplaced.\nTraveling from New York City to Louisiana, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Morocco, Schweid blends stories of his own squirm-inducing roach encounters with meticulous research to spin a tale both humorous and harrowing. As he investigates roaches\u2019 more nefarious interactions with our species\u2014particularly with those of us living at the margins of society\u2014Schweid also explores their astonishing diversity, how they mate, what they\u2019ll eat, and what we\u2019ve written about them (from Kafka and Nelson Algren to archy and mehitabel). Knowledge soon turns into respect, and Schweid looks beyond his own fears to arrive at an uncomfortable truth: We humans are no more peaceful, tidy, or responsible about taking care of the Earth or each other than these tiny creatures that swarm in the dark corners of our minds, homes, and cereal boxes.\nEntomology and Pest Management: Sixth Edition\nLarry P. Pedigo December 22, 2014\nPedigo and Rice expertly combine basic and applied entomology in this reader-friendly, pedagogically rich text. Assuming only a background in elementary biology, the authors present the major elements of general entomology before moving on to concepts in insect biology and ecology necessary for understanding insect pest management. Both theory and practice are emphasized as readers explore pertinent topics. The authors discuss pest-management issues\u2014both preventive and curative\u2014as aspects of applied ecology, with solutions considering environmental quality, profitability, and durability. Insect diagnostic boxes with detailed information on distribution, importance, appearance, and life cycles of particular species and groups appear throughout the text. Readers will come away with a comprehensive introduction to applied, sustainable pest management appropriate for whatever commodities they must handle.\nCaterpillars in the Field and Garden: A Field Guide to the Butterfly Caterpillars of North America\nThomas J. Allen June 2, 2005\nJeffrey Glassberg's acclaimed Butterflies through Binoculars guides have revolutionized the way we view butterflies. Now there's a field guide in the same practical format, and with the same emphasis on conservation, to identify caterpillars. Caterpillars are as varied, fascinating, and often as colorful as the adult butterflies they become. This is the most comprehensive guide to these creatures available. It contains all the information necessary to find and identify the caterpillars of North America--from Two-tailed Swallowtails, some of the largest butterfly caterpillars at just over two inches when fully grown, to tiny Western Pygmy-Blues. Caterpillar seekers will learn how to distinguish between butterfly caterpillars and moth caterpillars, where and how to find caterpillars, and the visual differences between young and older caterpillars. Each species section describes how to identify the caterpillar, complete with brilliant photos--many published here for the first time. To make for easy field use, each caterpillar's key physical features, abundance, habitat, and major hostplants are listed on the same page as its photo. The book also contains a special section on butterfly gardening, offering valuable information on how to set up a butterfly garden and raise healthy butterfly caterpillars, and provides a thorough list of the plants butterflies most like to feast on. From the concerned gardener who wishes not to kill caterpillars that may one day become beautiful butterflies to the serious butterflier wishing to take the hobby to the next level, this remarkable guide will provide all of the information necessary for an enriching caterpillar experience.\nDave Goulson April 29, 2014\nFOLLOWING IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF GREAT NATURE WRITERS SUCH AS E.O. WILSON AND CHARMING MEMOIRS LIKE GERALD DURRELL'S MY FAMILY AND OTHER ANIMALS, THIS FASCINATING BOOK WILL ALTER THE WAY WE THINK ABOUT BUMBLEBEES.\nDave Goulson became obsessed with wildlife as a small boy growing up in rural Shropshire, starting with an increasingly exotic menagerie of pets. When his interest turned to the anatomical, there were even some ill-fated experiments with taxidermy. But bees are where Goulson's true passion lies\u2014the humble bumblebee in particular.\nOnce commonly found in the marshes of Kent, the English short-haired bumblebee went extinct in the United Kingdom, but by a twist of fate still exists in the wilds of New Zealand, the descendants of a few pairs shipped over in the nineteenth century. Dave Goulson's passionate quest to reintroduce it to its native land is one of the highlights of a book that includes original research into the habits of these mysterious creatures, history's relationship with the bumblebee, and advice on how to protect the bumblebee for future generations.\nOne of the United Kingdom's most respected conservationists and the founder of the Bumblebee Conservation Trust, Goulson combines lighthearted tales of a child's growing passion for nature with a deep insight into the crucial importance of the bumblebee. He details the minutiae of life in the nest, sharing fascinating research into the effects intensive farming has had on our bee population and the potential dangers if we are to continue down this path.\nSex on Six Legs: Lessons on Life, Love, and Language from the Insect World\nMarlene Zuk August 2, 2011\nA biologist presents a \u201cconsistently delightful\u201d look at the mysteries of insect behavior (The New York Times Book Review).\nInsects have inspired fear, fascination, and enlightenment for centuries. They are capable of incredibly complex behavior, even with brains often the size of a poppy seed. How do they accomplish feats that look like human activity\u2014personality, language, childcare\u2014with completely different pathways from our own? What is going on inside the mind of those ants that march like boot-camp graduates across your kitchen floor? How does the lead ant know exactly where to take her colony, to that one bread crumb that your nightly sweep missed? Can insects be taught new skills as easily as your new puppy?\nSex on Six Legs is a startling and exciting book that provides answers to these questions and many more, examining not only the bedroom lives of creepy crawlies but also some of our own long-held assumptions about learning, the nature of personality, and what our own large brains might be for.\n\u201cSmart, engaging . . . Zuk approaches her subject with such humor and enthusiasm for the intricacies of insect life, even bug-phobes will relish her account.\u201d \u2014Publishers Weekly, starred review\nInfested: How the Bed Bug Infiltrated Our Bedrooms and Took Over the World\nBrooke Borel April 8, 2015\nBed bugs. Few words strike such fear in the minds of travelers. In cities around the world, lurking beneath the plush blankets of otherwise pristine-looking hotel beds are tiny bloodthirsty beasts just waiting for weary wanderers to surrender to a vulnerable slumber. Though bed bugs today have infested the globe, the common bed bug is not a new pest at all. Indeed, as Brooke Borel reveals in this unusual history, this most-reviled species may date back over 250,000 years, wreaking havoc on our collective psyche while even inspiring art, literature, and music\u2014in addition to vexatious red welts.\nIn Infested, Borel introduces readers to the biological and cultural histories of these amazingly adaptive insects, and the myriad ways in which humans have responded to them. She travels to meet with scientists who are rearing bed bug colonies\u2014even by feeding them with their own blood (ouch!)\u2014and to the stages of musicals performed in honor of the pests. She explores the history of bed bugs and their apparent disappearance in the 1950s after the introduction of DDT, charting how current infestations have flourished in direct response to human chemical use as well as the ease of global travel. She also introduces us to the economics of bed bug infestations, from hotels to homes to office buildings, and the expansive industry that has arisen to combat them.\nHiding during the day in the nooks and seams of mattresses, box springs, bed frames, headboards, dresser tables, wallpaper, or any clutter around a bed, bed bugs are thriving and eager for their next victim. By providing fascinating details on bed bug science and behavior as well as a captivating look into the lives of those devoted to researching or eradicating them, Infested is sure to inspire at least a nibble of respect for these tenacious creatures\u2014while also ensuring that you will peek beneath the sheets with prickly apprehension.\nEncyclopedia of Insects: Edition 2\nVincent H.

That is, saving energy, preventing waste\u2026you know, being \u201cgreen\u201d.\nAnd, indeed, we are in favor of unplugging.\nBut there\u2019s an exception to this general rule of unplugging \u2013 a big exception, and with implications for your career. Yes \u2013 your career. And be advised, this story is loaded with vitamin I \u2013 for Irony. So chow down.\nThe first part of this ironic story has to do with a huge source of power for Project Managers, a renewable source of endless project energy that often, as shown in the sophisticated schematic diagram on the right, goes untapped. What is this power of which we speak?\nIt\u2019s simple \u2013 it\u2019s the power of your own organization.

        "raw_content": "Home / Profile / Canada Life\u2019s Marchant: Equities aren\u2019t too expensive\nCanada Life\u2019s Marchant: Equities aren\u2019t too expensive\nFor David Marchant, asset allocation requires a balanced approach as markets emerge from an extended period defined by quantitative easing and low rates.\nLike many, the big challenge for David Marchant (pictured) and his multi-asset team is dealing with the transition out of a period of very supportive monetary policy and low rates.\n\u201cIf rates are increased too quickly, that has the potential to damage growth and hit bond markets,\u201d he says. \u201cIf you withdraw the stimulus you have less money slopping around to invest in equities, bonds and property.\u201d\nA hawkish US Federal Reserve bumped rates by 25 basis points in June and hinted at a further two hikes before the end of the year. The European Central Bank, meanwhile, left rates alone but has finally committed to ending quantitative easing at the end of the year.\nIn the UK, the latest inflation figure came in slightly lower than expected, casting doubt on whether the Bank of England would raise rates this summer.\nScale and balance\nAddressing this dilemma requires a balanced approach to asset allocation and fund selection, and one that Marchant, chief investment officer at Canada Life Investments, says necessarily involves spreading risk and exercising caution.\nAs a result, the team is moderately overweight equities, moving into short-duration bonds to avoid the impact of rising rates and using property as a diversifier. The team is currently 2-4% overweight equities relative to a neutral position for its multi-asset funds.\nWithin that, it is marginally overweight the UK and international markets except the US, where Marchant believes there are areas of excess driven by surging e-commerce, or \u2018Fang\u2019, stocks.\n\u201cIf you plot the growth of the Dow Jones e-commerce index, it looks like the bull market to end all bull markets,\u201d he says. \u201cThere we are pretty conservative and do not have significant exposure to them.\u201d\nThat said, Marchant does not feel equities in aggregate are too expensive, saying the UK market remains \u201cquite cheap\u201d on the back of the Brexit vote and that equities are still the preferred asset class.\n\u201cThat is a bit of a consensus call and it is a crowded investment view, so I am cognisant that risk is growing. In our underlying funds we do have more of a conservative position, particularly in the US, where returns have been stronger, yield is lower and valuations are higher.\u201d\nHe adds: \u201cIf you arrived here from Mars and looked at equity markets, I think you would say they are not bad value.\u201d\nMarchant accepts we are in an extended bull market but believes there is no reason to turn negative on risk because the fundamentals \u2013 reasonable growth and low inflation \u2013 are still in place.\nThe team is cautious on bonds, especially government bonds, is heavily weighted in short-duration assets and prefers credit over government bonds.\nHe says: \u201cI would rather buy short-duration credit than government bonds so I can get the increased yield by going into corporates and not have the risk of loss of capital because I am in longer bonds.\u201d\nMost of the fixed income is in UK assets and broadly split one-third short duration, one-third slightly longer-duration corporate bonds and a third government bonds. Exposure to the latter used to be nearer 50% but Marchant has reduced this, stating the risk in UK government bonds is asymmetric.\n\u201cSurely we can find something that is going to deliver more than 1.3% a year for the next 10 years,\u201d he says. \u201cYou are going to lose out on real terms and you are dropping 2.7% against the yield on equities a year.\u201d\nDespite what Marchant terms the \u201cmoderate bullishness\u201d on equities, he accepts that in the short- to medium-term the fallout from the Brexit vote and the transition to a post-EU membership world will mean a period of low growth for the domestic economy. The impact could be lessened if the UK remains part of the economic area and, longer term, he believes there could even be opportunities created from avoiding EU bureaucracy and opening up to other markets.\n\u201cBut I would not want to bet on that,\u201d he says. \u201cOur fundamental case is that the UK will be a laggard in the global economy. But does that worry us? Look at the UK; it\u2019s a very international market.\u201d\nProperty has taken a beating since the Brexit vote but it makes up 5-10% of Canada Life\u2019s risk target-managed portfolios and has a slightly higher weighting in the others.\n\u201cIt adds diversification,\u201d says Marchant, \u201cbut it is a much-disliked asset class. People think Brexit and property prices will fall out of bed. We don\u2019t think it is an overly exciting market to be in but when you have a headline yield of about 5%, you don\u2019t need a lot of capital growth to justify some exposure.\u201d\nExposure is achieved through in-house property funds, which are part of the \u00a32.25bn of direct property managed across Canada Life.\nIn terms of the global economy, Marchant believes Europe is \u201cOK\u201d but going through a bit of a purple patch as structural inefficiencies, high employment and too much debt still exist \u2013 not to mention Italy\u2019s woes. But the bloc is generally supported by accelerating global growth.\nAs for the emerging markets, Marchant finds them attractive as the economies are growing faster. However, he stresses corporate governance is not as strong in these jurisdictions and that political risk is greater. He adds that economies tend to perform despite the best efforts of politicians to derail them, as exemplified by the US where the threat of a trade war is a worry and yet the stock market continues to hit new highs.\n\u201cIf you look at political fears of the past five years, you\u2019ve had Greece, Catalonia, Italy, North Korea. So, generally, it does not pay to worry about political developments.\n\u201cIn this game there is limited benefit in trying to trade around short-term moves. People aren\u2019t very good at it and making investment decisions involves trading and costs, so we take a long-term horizon.\u201d\nSumming up the global view, he says: \u201cThe global economy is in good shape. It is largely synchronised, inflationary pressures are still limited and global growth is generally firm.\u201d\nAt Canada Life, Marchant overseas the asset allocation process and is ultimately responsible for the performance of the underlying portfolios in the multi-asset range, which is split into two groups.\nThe first is five risk-targeted funds, based on Dynamic Planner\u2019s risk ratings three to seven. These have been available in life and pensions for 10 years and as an Oeic range for almost five years.\nThe second is a range of multi-asset funds over which Canada Life Investments has full autonomy when it comes to asset allocation. These are the LF Canlife Strategic Return Total Return, Balanced and 0-35% funds. Marchant is lead manager on the Managed and the 0-35% funds.\nIn terms of strategy, a formal quarterly review takes place where everyone gets the chance to air their views on how they see the world. That is followed up with a quarterly meeting involving a smaller group of decision makers \u2013 head of equities, fixed income, property and multi-asset \u2013 to decide how to implement their views within the portfolios. There is also a weekly review of asset allocation.\nThe team primarily uses in-house funds for the range but leans on third-party expertise for areas where it does not have adequate knowledge or resource. It also benefits from being able to leverage off other funds and asset managers that are part of the Great-West group of which Canada Life Investments is a part. This includes Setanta Asset Management in Ireland for global equities, Putnam for high yield, Mackenzie for global resources funds and GLC for infrastructure.\nElsewhere, passive ETFs are used for emerging markets and index-linked exposure, and the range uses the Blackrock Sterling Liquidity Fund for cash.\nWhy a passive approach to EMs? \u201cIt is not something we can do ourselves and [passive] is an economical way to do it with better returns,\u201d Marchant explains. \u201cWe have had an active fund in the past and it wasn\u2019t particularly successful.\u201d\nAlthough generally an advocate of active management, Marchant is wary that such funds often have an insufficient track record, which is why passive trumps active in certain cases. The challenge with active is in identifying good quality managers.\n\u201cIf you put 100 people in a room tossing a coin, some will get 10 heads in a row. Does that make them good at tossing coins?\u201d\nTicking all the boxes: Canlife Managed 0-35%\nMarchant is eager to highlight the Canlife Managed 0-35% Fund, on which he is lead manager, as a good example of a drawdown fund for retirement.\nHe says a retirement fund should tick three boxes: low volatility, growth and yield.\n\u201cIf you are 65 to 70 years old and you are taking money out over time, you don\u2019t want volatility as it will kill your performance. You want some growth to be able to keep up with inflation and a yield you can live off.\u201d\nTo further mitigate risk, the fund contains only sterling-denominated assets to avoid currency risk and minimise volatility. The portfolio is 26.5% UK equities; 18.9% in UK property; and the rest in cash and fixed income. The latter is split a third each in short duration, corporate bonds and UK government bonds.\nMarchant says: \u201cThe fund focuses on corporate bonds for high yield and short duration because it gives a bit of protection and lower volatility, and UK equities through the LF Canlife UK Equity Income Fund. Income shares tend to be lower volatility and provide a yield.\u201d\nAccording to FE, the Oeic version of the LF Canlife Managed 0-35% Fund, which launched in January last year, has returned 2.85% and 2.58% over six months and one year, respectively, versus the IA Mixed Investment 0-35% Shares sector\u2019s 0.5% and 0.9%.\nTags: canada life investments | David Marchant",

        "raw_content": "Did Tiffany Haddish Lie About Domestic Violence In Her Book?\nHer ex is speaking out.\nThis has been the year of Tiffany Haddish. From Girls Trip to her book The Last Black Unicorn, the comedian is everybody\u2019s fav. In the book, which is a memoir, Tiffany claims she was physically abused by her ex-husband William Stewart. In one section, Tiffany wrote, \u201cHe grabbed me by the collar, he was like, \u2018It\u2019s time to go to the room now,\u2019 in front of everybody. Just snatched me by my shirt, and pulled me to the elevator and threw me in it\u2026once we got to our hotel room, he was so quick. He snatched me by the neck and slammed me into the wall.\u201d Tiffany also alleged that the abuse resulted in her ex-husband being arrested and she suffered a miscarriage. William Stewart is denying all of the claims of domestic abuse.\nIn an interview on V-103\u2019s Ryan Cameron Morning Show With Wanda Smith, Stewart said, \u201cI married Tiffany, her issues, and not the Hollywood lifestyle. I have never beat or hit or called a woman a \u2018MF\u2019 or \u2018B\u2019 while having a disagreement, ever in my life. I never caused a miscarriage, I have documents to prove this.\u201d\nIn an Instagram video over the weekend, Tiffany revealed, \u201cI ain\u2019t gonna lie. Some stuff in the book is a little bit\u2026 I was like, \u2018What?\u2019 I don\u2019t know if when they edit, maybe they tweak things a little. So, then, in the audio-book, I\u2019m like, \u2018No, this is what it is.\u2019\u201d William commented on the video, writing, \u201cI ont [sic] want to respond to my character and my family matters in the book. At this time I will not through [sic] dirt at Tiffany or release things that I know will harm her. I actually don\u2019t think this was all Tiffany\u2019s doings [sic]\u2026 I think people were telling her they need to add stuff to fluff it up. I have NEVER HIT or beat a woman in my life. I\u2019m hurting and thanks.\u201d\n#PressPlay: #TiffanyHaddish's memoir #TheLastBlackUnicorn was released last week but there seems to be some discrepancies over what\u2019s true and what was fabricated in the book. Tiffany recently went live and admitted some things may have gotten tweaked during the editing process. This came after multiple sources reported some of the shocking details shared in the book, including an alleged abusive relationship with her ex-husband who she divorced and married twice. __________________________________________ \"He grabbed me by the collar, he was like, 'It's time to go to the room now,' in front of everybody,\" she wrote. \"Just snatched me by my shirt, and pulled me to the elevator and threw me in it\u2026once we got to our hotel room, he was so quick. He snatched me by the neck and slammed me into the wall.\" __________________________________________ She said things got so bad between them that at one point it led to an arrest and miscarriage. Now, Tiffany\u2019s ex-husband is speaking out against the allegations, saying he loves Tiff until his last breath and he never put his hands on her. #Roomies, take a look and tell us your thoughts.\nAccusations of domestic abuse is extremely serious. If William never hit her then it appears there was an extreme lie from her editors or Tiffany Haddish. As much as everyone loves Tiffany, if he never assaulted her or caused a miscarriage, she needs to make this right \u2014 beyond a video on Instagram.\nSOURCE: V-103\n\u2018Girls Trip\u2019 Star Tiffany Haddish Explains That Bad Bill Cosby Joke\nDid They Get It Right?

She first captured pool glory in 2009 at the age of just 16 years old, stunning legend Karen Corr in the northeastern Chinese city of Shenyang.\nLiu\u2019s win this time certainly had to be much more satisfying, however, as five years ago she was a freewheeling teenager who could play without a care in the world. Now, as a Chinese national team member playing under the pressure of high expectation, and the intense glare of the massive Chinese media spotlight, the 21 year old Liu can finally say she has conquered the world and officially arrived at the mountain top of women\u2019s pool.\nFor the massively talented Chen, the loss proved a bitter disappointment as she had Liu on the ropes right up until the end. The 20 year old Chen has now lost twice in the World Championship final, the first time in 2011 when, as a 17 year old, she went down in flames against fellow Chinese Bi Zhu Qing. Chen was more than up to the task this time, however, and the fact that she couldn\u2019t close out the match had nothing to do with any poor play. The balls at the end simply didn\u2019t give her anything to look at, and Liu executed some memorable shots right when it counted.\nThe fact that the final was played at such a high level was not surprising considering how well both players had been playing in the lead up. The day began with the two semi-finals which were played consecutively at a specially built TV arena inside Guilin\u2019s Dream City development.\nIn the first race to 9 semi-final, Liu squared off with two time world champion Ga Young Kim of Korea. The match was even early before Liu turned up the heat and led 7-4. But just when Liu was ready to move to the hill, she missed a straight in 9-ball. Within minutes Kim had stormed back to tie and was about to move to the hill herself when she missed her own 9-ball. Liu took that rack then broke and ran for the hard nose 9-7 win.\nIn the second semi-final Chen faced Taiwanese veteran Tan Ho Yun. Chen looked like she was going to run away early as she went up 4-0, then 5-1. Tan clawed back to tie the match at 5-5. Chen, however, then put on a brilliant display of potting and cue ball control, and won going away, 9-5.\nThe final, which began an hour later at 5:30pm, swayed back and forth from the very first rack, with both players punishing mistakes by the other, and displaying world class cueing and safety prowess. The pair were tied at scores of 1, 2, 3, and 4.\nAt 4-4 Chen left a safety try open and the steady, reliable and tenacious shot making by Liu put her up by 1 at 5-4. Chen countered in the next rack, starting things off with a clutch bank on the 2- ball and a solid clear to tie the match at 5-5. Chen made Liu pay for an errant safe in the next frame, then broke and ran the subsequent rack to now move up by two at 7-5.\nWith the pressure slowly building Liu broke and ran to move back within 1. But then Chen countered with one of her own to go up 8-6, and it seemed nothing could stop Chen from finally winning her first world title.\nThe next three racks will be ones both players will no doubt never forget, but for completely different reasons. With the match on the line, Liu kept the 15th frame going by potting the 2-ball via an incredibly difficult kick off the rail. She bore down and cleared the remaining colors to make the score 8-7.\nChen missed a difficult cut in the next frame and Liu stood up and, with a steely demeanor, ran the rack. The World Championship had come down to a one game, sudden death decider with Liu breaking.\nLiu made three balls on the break and had a shot on the 1-ball. But she wasn\u2019t out of the woods yet. She made a nervy 4-6 combo but was faced with a difficult cut on the 4-ball and, at the same time, an almost impossible position to the 7-ball up table. With the pressure nearly unbearable, Liu then executed perhaps the greatest shot of her career; she hit a blind cut on the 4-ball into the corner, and sent the cue ball three rails into perfect position on the 7-ball. A few moments later Liu Shasha was the new world champion.\nAfterward, Liu was rightfully over the moon with not just the result, but how she did it. Throw in a bit of luck and she knew it was her night to shine.\n\u201cI was really nervous before the match,\u201d the friendly Liu said. \u201cBut after a few racks, I knew I was playing better than I played all week. When I was down 8-6, I told myself just try your best to do the job. At that point I was nervous but I knew I had to stay focused and try to win the match. I was so nervous on that shot(the 4-ball in the last rack.) But there was no other way to play the shot.\n\u201cI really feel that Siming is a more skillful player than me but when we play each other, I always seem to play good. And I think that sometimes I\u2019m just lucky and maybe she\u2019s not lucky.\u201d\nChen put on a brave face at the awarding ceremony, but in the privacy of the VIP room with just her mother to console her, she wiped away the tears of another bitter finals loss.\n\u201cI\u2019m very disappointed,\u201d Chen said. \u201cI thought I played very well. And Shasha also played well. In 2011 I played in the final and I didn\u2019t play well but here I played good and it was a good match. My emotions are mixed right now. On the one hand I\u2019m very disappointed but the only thing I can do is use this as a learning experience to try and improve.\u201d\nEveryone who watched her play this week knows that the supremely talented Chen will surely win her share of world titles in the coming years. As she doubles down on her efforts, she might want to take Liu Shasha\u2019s words to heart.\n\u201cWinning this year is a better feeling and it\u2019s more important than when I won in 2009,\u201d Liu said. \u201cLast year I was under so much pressure that I thought about quitting pool and I didn\u2019t know if I could improve. So it\u2019s really special that this year I won the World 9-ball Championship. I feel like I\u2019m dreaming right now. I can\u2019t believe I won.\n\u201cThe lesson for me is that you should never give up. Never. Just do your best and good things will happen.\u201d\nFor winning the 2014 WPA Women\u2019s World 9-ball Championship, Liu took home $40,000. Chen pocketed $20,000.\n**The 2014 Women\u2019s World 9-ball was held in Guilin, China from October 13-18, and was sanctioned by the World Pool & Billiard Association(WPA), the world governing body of pool. 64 women players from across the globe competed for the biggest prize in Women\u2019s Pool.\nPlease visit the WPA Facebook page for the 2014 Women\u2019s World 9-ball Championship here; http://www.facebook.com/pages/2013-WPA-Womens-World-9-ball-Championship/360470447416060?ref=hl",

The disease was first reported in Japan and Korea in 1984. Around 2008 there was a very serious outbreak in Italy which has spread throughout Europe affecting predominantly 'Hort16A' (Actinidia chinensis). The highly aggressive strain Psa-V produces an abundance of inoculum and can spread rapidly by aerosols. It infects through natural openings such as stomata, wounds, hydathodes and lenticels. Control options are very limited. Currently they include cutting out infected material and removing secondary infected plants. Maintaining hygiene within orchards is (particularly equipment) very important. Topical applications such as copper-based bactericidal sprays and biological control agents, and the use of elicitors (Actigard, also known as Bion) which induces systemic acquired resistance are currently being trialled.\nWe have sequenced a number of Psa genomes from New Zealand and other countries where the disease occurs. This information has helped us understand the phylogenitic relationships between strains, design a robust detection system that is specific for Psa-V, and identify effectors and pathogenicity factors unique to the virulent isolate.\nVine symptoms\nBacteria exude from stomata\nBacteria exuding from stomata\nSequenced strains\nSee here for an overview of sequenced strains\nThe Psa whole genome sequencing project is a collaboration between Plant & Food Research and Massey University. We have high-quality draft sequences of 25 Psa isolates from around the world. Two of these isolates, Psa V-13 and the type strain ICMP 9617, have been completely sequenced.

        "raw_content": "Crossing in Time (Between Two Evils: Book 1) by D.L. Orton\nTitle: Crossing in Time\nPublisher: Rocky Mountain Press\nDate of publication: May 1st, 2016\nGenre: Women\u2019s Fiction, Dystopia, Science Fiction\nSeries: Between Two Evils\nCrossing in Time \u2013 Book 1\nLost in Time \u2013 Book 2\nCrossing in Time is a fast-paced dystopian/science fiction book that shows that love can cross time. The book alternates between Diego and Isabelle points of view and tells a love story that transcends time. It also tells the story of Harry, an unsuspecting college professor who is working on deciphering the mystery of a large metal ball that took out a hotel and its connection to an upcoming apocalyptic event. Fast-paced, Crossing in Time will keep you on the edge of your seat and wondering what is coming next while watching Diego and Isabelle\u2019s love story unfold.\nIsabelle was one of my favorite people in the book. She was so spunky and didn\u2019t take anyone\u2019s crap. From the beginning of the book, where she was buying the gun from the guy outside the burnt out Wal-Mart to dealing with her ex-husband (who I couldn\u2019t stand) to her relationship with Diego\u2026..she was strong. It was a hit with me because I love strong female characters. Even in situations which could be perceived weak, she was strong. A lot stronger than I could have been.\nDiego, I liked too. You could see that he adored Isabelle. Everything he did in the book was for her\u2026\u2026even in the later parts of the book. Even when he was separated from her, his thought was with her. Again, a big hit with me because this is a romance that will survive anything.\nThe romance between Diego and Isabelle took my breath away. The way it was written, the way it came across was beautiful!!!\nThe science fiction aspect of this book was interesting. The clues left in the globe really didn\u2019t make sense to me at first. But the more I read and the more that was revealed, they made perfect sense. This is also where Harry\u2019s part of the story came into play. He was working on deciphering the clues when they are deciphered, it is found out to be the plans for a time machine. What I liked about this was that the author didn\u2019t make it work right the first, second or third time. Heck, they weren\u2019t even sure if it was going to work when they sent Isabelle through and didn\u2019t know it worked until they figured out that the shell could be tracked. I loved it!!!\nThe end of the book was bittersweet. I was happy because of certain events that happened but also sad because of the unknown (if you want to know what I am talking about, read the book). The way the book ended definitely lead into book 2 and I can\u2019t wait to read that one and see where Harry, Diego and Isabelle stories end up.\nHow many stars will I give Crossing in Time: 4\nWhy: I really enjoyed reading the book. The characters were memorable and the plot line was great. It did lag a bit in the middle but definitely recovered from it. The science fiction part of the story was original and well written too.\nPosted in ARC, book review, NetGalley, Rocky Mountain Press\tBetween Two Evil'sbook 1Crossing in TimeD.L.

        "raw_content": "Review of BLACK HALO by Sam Sykes\nSam Sykes\u2019 Aeon\u2019s Gate series continues to vex me.\nThe first book, TOME OF THE UNDERGATES, dragged heavily through the middle parts, but then picked things up in the last 100 pages. I was disappointed in it largely due to the effusive and glowing praise the book had received from others, but was willing to read the next book in the series because A, I\u2019d already bought it, and B, the ending gave me hope.\nBut BLACK HALO continued to suffer through many of the same issues I had with TOME.\nFirst off, the characters are all terribly immature, so I have a hard time rooting for them, and when the action dies down in the middle parts of the book, all we\u2019re left with is 400 pages of adolescent characters whining about how hard they have it and speaking to apparitions that aren\u2019t really there. In this book, Lenk, our main protagonist, speaks to two different voices in his head, which can get awfully confusing since we still don\u2019t know why Lenk hears the voices or who the voices are. Gariath, hears the voice of a dead ancestor, and wanders around talking to it throughout the book. Asper can\u2019t figure out why God doesn\u2019t treat her better, and wanders around the island complaining about it. Denaos sees the ghost of a woman he killed several years ago (this island if freaking loaded with ghosts!). Dreadaleon mostly stews over the fact that Asper doesn\u2019t love him. Katarina wanders around around the island (but thanksfully doesn\u2019t see or hear apparitions) trying to decide whether or not to kill Lenk, since her people are supposed to kill every human they see. Inexplicably, she doesn\u2019t whine over whether or not to kill the other humans \u2014 in fact, she mostly ignores their existence.\nThere\u2019s an occasional fight scene mixed in, but it\u2019s mostly just an occasionally interrupted stream of each character\u2019s melodramatic whining, and Sykes hams it up as much as he can. Sample line:\nShe stared off into the forest as though looking anywhere else would kill her. Perhaps it would.\nThe copy editing mistakes (where and were are two different words, folks) don\u2019t help matters. But then at the end, there\u2019s a moment where (see?) I almost want to read the next book. Lenk finally realizes that Kataria will probably kill him if given the opportunity, and under the guidance of the dual voices, he decides he\u2019s going to recover the Tome they\u2019ve lost and kill anyone in his path, finally becoming the total badass I\u2019d actually want to read about. It\u2019s as though Sykes has finally realized that this isn\u2019t a love story between Lenk and Kataria, it\u2019s a bloody adventure book that to this point has spent far too much time with its characters wandering blindly around an island.\nBut I\u2019ve already been fooled by one of Sykes\u2019 solid endings to an unspectacular book. I won\u2019t be following him down the rabbit hole again.\nReview of THE SANDMAN: FABLES & REFLECTIONS by Neil Gaiman\nI\u2019ve discovered that my favorite Sandman comics aren\u2019t the ones that focus on Morpheus \u2014 though I continue to enjoy the scenes with the titular hero \u2014 but the ones in which Gaiman takes advantage of the format and the clear freedom his publishers granted him to tell stories that instead focus on the human condition and the part dreams play in our everyday lives and the choices we make. In these stories, the Lord of Dreams is often little more than a supporting character, and at other times he doesn\u2019t show up at all.\nMy favorite story in this collection, the sixth in the Sandman saga, is \u201cThe Hunt,\u201d in which an old man tells his granddaughter a story of their people\u2019s history. Morpheus doesn\u2019t show up until late in the story, after the main character of the story has refused to sell a lost dream item to Lucien. It\u2019s a story about our dreams and how they change, and how sometimes the dreams we think we have aren\u2019t at all what we really want or need. It\u2019s when Gaiman is telling these types of stories \u2014 stories that go beyond the characters \u2014 that he\u2019s at his most effective.\nGaiman borrows a bunch of real historical figures in this collection, including the Emperor of America, Marco Polo, Caius Octavius, Haroun al Raschid and Mark Twain. It\u2019s an eclectic bunch, but I especially liked the story about the Emperor of America and his \u201cmadness.\u201d\n\u201cA Parliament of Rooks,\u201d featuring Eve, Cain and Abel, is also among the best in the collection. I keep pointing to different stories that I like, and as I flip through the pages again, I keep finding more little pieces that I want to re-read. That seems like as good a recommendation as I can provide.\nPosted in Uncategorized\t| Tagged cain and abel, dreams, emperor of america, Fables & Reflections, lord of dreams, Neil Gaiman, sandman comics, The Sandman\t| 5 Replies\nTHE MEMOIRS OF SHERLOCK HOLMES by Arthur Conan Doyle\nPosted on January 2, 2012 by richardmbray\nI\u2019m starting to become quite the fan of these Sherlock Holmes mysteries.\nThe plotting is obviously the best part of these stories, but along the way Doyle has quietly created a pair of characters in Holmes and Watson who have incrementally revealed themselves to the reader, to the point that you don\u2019t really recognize the characterization that has been developed.\nI recently saw Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows in the movie theatre, and while you can see a lot of the pieces from the book that were used in the movie, I found that \u2014 as is so often the case \u2014 I like the book\u2019s characterization far better than the movie. The movie is funnier, but Sherlock is clearly more annoying on the big screen than he is within Doyle\u2019s pages. Doyle\u2019s Sherlock is a more realistic version \u2014 a man so absorbed in his own thoughts that he has difficulty paying attention to what is going on around him unless it interests him somehow.\nThe relationship between Sherlock and Watson has slowly become one of the strengths of the series, and is perhaps at its best at the end of \u201cThe Final Problem,\u201d when we see how Watson is affected by the attack upon Sherlock. To be honest, this story disappointed me a bit, because whereas the stories had been so creatively plotted in the past, this seemed a bit lazy in contrast. Everyone in the world could see that Dr. Watson was being drawn away from Sherlock so Moriarty could attack him, and since the fight took place on a ledge next to a powerful waterfall, it\u2019s also incredibly uninspired to have the duo fall into the water to their apparent deaths. In this regard, the most interesting aspect of the story isn\u2019t the story itself, it\u2019s the introduction to THE COMPLETE SHERLOCK HOLMES by Christopher and Barbara Roden, where they recall that Doyle was growing tired of writing the Sherlock short stories, at one point quoting an outrageous price in the hopes that they would stop asking. Instead, the magazine met that price and Doyle had to continue writing the stories, which unsurprisingly took a lot of time and energy to plot \u2014 as much as a regular novel, Doyle said. In this \u201cThe Final Problem\u201d we saw how Doyle chose to try and avoid writing more Sherlock stories, although we also know how futile this effort was, as I\u2019m still only about halfway through this compendium.\nFor that, I\u2019m quite glad.\nPosted in Uncategorized\t| Tagged complete sherlock holmes, holmes and watson\t| 5 Replies",

Impressions of the quality of teachers in schools are formed by people using various types of evidence. Teachers' salary scales, levels of industrial dispute, academic qualifications, socio-economic origins, children's examination results, level of juvenile criminal and anti-social behaviour, public utterances by teachers and their representatives, and teacher-bashing media campaigns by self-interested politicians and lobbyists are among the types of evidence which contribute to public perceptions of teacher quality.\nHaynes, B.

I think that your career, your work is the most important.\u201d\n\u201cFootball is a collective sport and many times it doesn\u2019t depend on you playing well. It depends if the team is playing well.\u201d\n\u201cSometimes you decide games, but you can\u2019t decide a competition. \u201cSo, Messi\u2019s merit is not undone because he hasn\u2019t won a World Cup.\u201d\n\u201c[Johan] Cruyff didn\u2019t win any World Cup and was one of the great players of history and he will always be.

(Photo by Garrett Ellwood/NBAE via Getty Images)\nIf you\u2019re one of those guys who likes to have action on everything, the NBA\u2019s All-Star Weekend presents an interesting betting opportunity.\nLike the Super Bowl or March Madness, there\u2019s an awful lot of things to bet on, and a lot of ways to win.\nSure, you might end up like Scott Van Pelt on \u201cBad Beats,\u201d delirious over a garbage-time Bradley Beal three that put Team Giannis above the over, or pensive about the ill-fated third rack that destroyed Seth Curry\u2019s chances of winning the three-point contest. But you know what? Even that seems like a lot of fun.\nAnd it\u2019s a great way to make the weekend riveting, even if your interest in All-Star games waned shortly after you started worrying about health insurance and student loan payments.\nAfter years of the traditional East vs West format, the NBA has had a second go at the drafting of rosters for this year\u2019s game. Use these pointers when figuring out whether to put your money on Team LeBron or Team Giannis. And the article covers tips for bets on the Saturday night competitions, too.\nBut for those Saturday contests, we\u2019ve got our own picks. Here\u2019s how we see it playing out.\nThree-Point Contest:\n1. Steph Curry \u2014 The greatest shooter of all-time has obviously got to be the favorite in this contest, even though he\u2019s only won it once (2015) in the five times he\u2019s competed. He\u2019s lost in the final round twice, to Paul Pierce (2010) and Klay Thompson (2016). This time though, things could be lining up for Steph. His brother is involved, things are going to get competitive, and he\u2019s going to want to take home the hardware and some bragging rights (though he\u2019s got plenty of those already).\n2. Buddy Hield\u2013 Watch out for Buddy. He\u2019s an underrated sniper, and he\u2019s already hit some big-time shots for the vastly-improved Kings this year (including a game-winner in Detroit). The man can flat-out shoot the basketball, and he\u2019s good on the move, which should help him as he runs from rack to rack.\n3. Devin Booker\u2013He\u2019s due for a big showing, maybe like a \u201cyo, remember me? I\u2019m still here\u201d type of performance. Booker has been melting from the public\u2019s consciousness out in Phoenix, so he probably wants to get back in the spotlight with a \u2018W\u2019.\n4. Damian Lillard\u2013 Dame is a sneaky pick right here, maybe because he\u2019ll be flying under the radar, and also because he probably wants to prove his three-point shooting prowess at a time when everybody but him seems to be getting all the pub. Lillard is still the most consistently-underrated player in the league, and he might take this opportunity to make a statement and add something to his trophy case.\n5. Seth Curry\u2013 Just because of the fact that his bro will be competing, we\u2019re betting on a nice showing from Seth. We can definitely see him making a run. (How great would it be if he got to the finals and faced Steph)?\nAlso competing: Kemba Walker, Joe Harris, Danny Green, Khris Middleton, and \u2026\n10. Dirk Nowitzki \u2014 We love Dirk, but the big German is just a little bit past his prime. He might have a hard time getting from rack to rack, and his shot is iffy (as evidenced by his 0-for-10 in Boston, when he could have become the West\u2019s all-time leading scorer at the Garden).\n1. John Collins\u2013 If you\u2019ve never seen this dude throw down, stop what you\u2019re doing and Google him. I mean\u2026 he\u2019s ridiculous, right? Collins has to be the clear-cut favorite in this event, which features three other dudes who still remember eighth grade vividly. The toughest part for Collins will be translating his in-game dunking ability to the contest, but we think he\u2019s got a few tricks up his sleeve.\n2. Dennis Smith Jr. \u2014 This kid is a ridiculous athlete, and he\u2019s got the capability of throwing down some trophy-worthy dunks. He\u2019s still really young and could melt under the spotlight, but so could anyone in the dunk contest. Still, Smith has a swagger and star power that could propel him to the top.\n3. Hamidou Diallo\u2013 He\u2019s an athletic kid, and at 6-5, has ideal height for a dunk contest winner (big guys sometimes get penalized). He\u2019s definitely a sleeper pick, but we could also see him letting the pressure get to him.\n4. Miles Bridges\u2013 Like Collins, Bridges may be more of an in-game dunker than a dunk contest dunker, so it\u2019ll be interesting to see what he brings to the table. We could see him missing several attempts and finishing with an ugly score. Sorry, bruh.\n1. Mike Conley\u2013One of the most fundamentally-sound point guards in the game. He\u2019s got the total package for this event, plus he\u2019s a wily vet and not a kid like Luka Doncic, so he knows what it takes to win this thing. The smart money\u2019s gotta be on him.\n2. Luka Doncic\u2013 He\u2019s an obvious choice, but those don\u2019t always pan out. He\u2019s not the fastest dude, and if he slips up on a bounce pass, he could leave the door open for a guy like, say\u2026\n3. De\u2019Aaron Fox \u2014 Fastest dude in the NBA, ultra-competitive guy trying to show the basketball world that he\u2019s the real deal\u2026 yeah, he\u2019s a good bet in this event.\n4.

        "raw_content": "Find current reports, including an updated salary survey at RTDNA.org/research.\nThis is the ninth of nine installments for this year in a series of reports developed from RTDNA's annual survey of newsrooms across the United States. Topics in the series were released every two weeks, including what's new online, social media and mobile strategies, television and radio budgets and profits, stations doing news, news director profiles, and our most popular areas of research; broadcast newsroom staffing, women and minorities in newsrooms, and newsroom salaries. Reports are added here as they are released.\nThe salary survey highlights:\nA decent year for TV salaries\nRadio salaries edge beyond inflation\nTV and radio benefits\nThe latest RTDNA/Hofstra University Annual Survey found that local television news salaries rose by 4% in 2016. That's a bit less than last year\u2019s 4.8%, but still almost double the level of inflation in 2016: 2.1%. That means TV news salaries gained 1.9% purchasing power this past year\u2026 on top of the previous year\u2019s 3.5% net increase. A big improvement over the last few earlier years.\nRadio salaries rose 2.3% from last year. That\u2019s less than last year\u2019s 3.1% increase\u2026 but far better than the two previous years. Factor in low inflation of 2.1%, and radio salaries barely budged in the last year.\nIt was a so-so year in salaries, with eight positions going up, five going down and seven the same. But unlike most years, it was management that took it on the chin. Four of the five positions that went down in salary were in management. The only one that didn\u2019t drop, managing editor, stayed the same.\nI added MMJ to the list two years ago. And, once again, it\u2019s clear that reporters get paid a lot more money, overall, than MMJs. Two years ago, the spread between the two positions was $6,800. Last year, it was $9,000. This year, it\u2019s $12,000. Even accounting for market size, pay for MMJs is noticeably lower.\nNote that I use median salaries for most comparisons because medians tend to be more reflective of what people actually make.\n*News reporter comparison is problematic because I now separate reporter from MMJ\n**Comparison is with internet specialist in 2012 and 2007\nTV salaries over time look like a so-so picture, but it\u2019s an improvement over last year. A year ago, TV news salaries lagged behind inflation for both 5 year and 10 year comparisons. This time around, the 5 year comparison has edged ahead, and the 10 year comparison is a touch closer \u2013 even as it continues to trail inflation. That\u2019s what two straight years of above inflation increases will accomplish.\nEight positions are running ahead of inflation over the last 5 years; eight are behind; and one is essentially tied. Compared to 10 years ago, seven positions are running ahead of inflation while ten lag behind.\nKeep in mind that wages in this country, generally, have not kept pace with inflation.\nThe table of salaries by market size allows me to take a closer look at both salaries by market size as well as salaries by position.\nBy market size, the two smallest did the best\u2026 with the highest number of positions going up in salaries, coupled with the lowest number going down. Top 25 markets came right behind that\u2026 about the same number of positions going up as the smaller markets, but more going down. Next came markets 26 to 50, which at least had more positions on the plus side than on the minus side. Markets 51 to 100 did the worst, with more than twice as many positions dropping in salary than going up. Note that markets 51 to 100 did the best a year ago, so it may just all even out over time.\nSalaries by position were closer. Graphics was the only area where all salaries went up, regardless of market size. After that, executive producer, assignment editor and MMJs did the best\u2026 up in four market sizes and down in one. At the bottom: managing editor and news assistant with just one market going up and four going down. All the rest were in the middle.\n*Insufficient data\nThe smallest newsrooms include a number of newsrooms in the biggest markets, so salary numbers for that group tend to be erratic. Other commercial station salaries tended to be higher than most, and non-commercial salaries tend to be lower (as they usually are). Differences by network or region were inconsistent and inconsequential.\nRadio salaries\nVery much of a mixed year in radio salaries. Note that median is the best indicator of typical salaries.\nNews director salaries went up on average but down in median. That happens because large major market salaries bring up the average, but the large number of lower, smaller and medium market salaries bring down the typical pay. That\u2019s why the median news director salary can be lower than median salaries for news reporter or news producer. Those two latter positions are more often found in larger, higher-paying markets, while news director, frequently the only news employee, is found across the board. All other positions went up except sports. Both sports anchor and sports reporter dropped from a year ago. As a side note, $12,000 is below the federal minimum wage for a full time position At $7.25/hour, that comes out to $15,080 for a 40-hour work week.\nFive and 10 year salary comparisons show two entirely different pictures. Again. The last five years have been tough, overall, in radio news. Half the positions saw salary increases above the rate of inflation, but half were below. The 10 year picture shows mostly strong growth based on some very low salaries reported in 2007. We\u2019ll see how these numbers hold up over time.\nFor both news director and news reporter, salaries went up in large and major markets\u2026 but went down in medium and small markets. The reason sports anchor and reporter salaries dropped from last year is that there were too few to tabulate in the large and major markets this year. Whether that\u2019s because there are fewer of them or the luck of the draw in who returns the Survey I can\u2019t say. We\u2019ll see what the numbers look like a year from now. As usual, salaries generally go up as market size and staff size go up.\nWhat makes a huge difference in pay is commercial vs. non-commercial. Salaries for non-commercial stations were 38.8% higher, overall, than at commercial stations. That\u2019s a 50% higher differential than a year ago. Every position was higher except sports reporter, which there were too few of in non-commercial radio to tabulate.\nStarting Pay - TV and radio\nStarting pay in TV news moved up again this year. The overall average rose by $700, and the median went up by $1,000. The order of the jobs in the list below is the order in which hiring took place. Interestingly, it\u2019s the third year in a row that the sequence of new hires per position has been exactly the same.\nAs a side note, $12,500 is below the federal minimum wage for a full time position. At $7.25/hour, that comes out to $15,080 for a 40-hour work week. A number of states have a higher minimum wage. And while we\u2019re trying to keep everyone legal, note also that there are essentially no positions in TV or radio news that are exempt from overtime pay.\nIn radio, average starting pay rose $600 (it rose $700 a year ago). Median pay rose by $1,000. That\u2019s the same as a year ago, but it had fallen $3,000 the year before that.\nThe list above is in decreasing number of people hired. News reporter remains the top hire, but it has gone down as a percentage of the total: 66% to 59% to 53.5% last year. It has leveled off at 55% this year. We\u2019ll see what happens next year. News anchor comes in a very distant number 2.\nContracts - TV and radio\nTV contracts remained mostly the same from a year ago while radio generally fell slightly.\nFollowing last year\u2019s jump in TV contracts, this year\u2019s numbers are almost all within one or two points of last year. Not a single position moved in a meaningful way \u2013 either up or down.\nFor the third year in a row, most of these radio contract numbers went down from the previous year. Two exceptions: news reporter edged up slightly and sports reporter rose from zero a year ago.\nNote that non-compete agreements are illegal in a number of states.\nBenefits beyond just dollars and cents\nLast year, I asked news directors about comparisons in the workplace over the last 5 to 10 years in terms of family-friendly workplace\u2026 a comparison of health care benefits, availability of overtime, retirement benefits, unionization, and amount of vacation time.\nThis year, I asked about specific benefits a station offered beyond salary.\nA number of TV news directors noted that their dental and drug plans were partly station paid rather than fully station paid. Note that benefits tend to fall with market size, but that\u2019s not the case with staff size, which doesn\u2019t seem to matter much. All the network affiliates except Fox were in the 99% range of paid or partially paid health insurance. Fox affiliates were at 92.6%\u2026 which was higher than other commercial stations at 86.9%. Non-commercial TV stations were 100%. Non-commercial stations were almost five times as likely to have pension plans as commercial stations. All the stations with no benefits at all were in the Northeast.\nThe average TV station offered employees 2.1 weeks of vacation after one year. The median was 2. The only group that was noticeably higher or lower was non-commercial stations which had an average and median of 3 weeks. Unlike radio, non-commercial TV station salaries are noticeably lower than commercial stations.\nNote that \u201cother\u201d benefits generally increase as market size falls. About 10% of news directors noted some \u201cother.\u201d About one-third of those involved personal days, sick days or more vacation after more years of service. Almost as many noted some sort of vision plan. A few cited free or reduced health club/gym/YMCA membership or education reimbursement. Then came part or full cell phone use and company stock or profit-sharing. Then anchor hair styling, disability insurance and \u201cupward mobility.\u201d I wasn\u2019t sure about that one, either.\nA number of radio news directors and general managers noted that their dental and drug plans were partly station paid rather than fully station paid. Note that benefits tend to fall with market size, although the biggest difference is probably commercial vs. non-commercial. Large groups offer more benefits; as with TV, stations in the Northeast lagged behind the rest of the country.\nTwenty-five radio news directors and general managers noted \u201cother\u201d benefits. Five noted paid sick days. Four (each) noted more time off with more time on the job\u2026 or paid or partly paid tuition. Three (each) noted life and/or disability insurance\u2026 and profit-sharing or company stock. Two each said gym memberships and paid holidays (yes, U.S. law does not require paid holidays). One (each) noted family health care and ratings bonuses.\nThe average radio station offered employees 2.2 weeks of vacation after one year. The median was 2. The only group that was noticeably higher or lower was non-commercial stations which had an average and median of 2.7 weeks, but the median was still 2.\nFrankly, the most astonishing number to me was that more than 15% of radio stations offer no benefits whatsoever. More than 20% in small markets. About a quarter of all small market stations reported no paid vacation. A UCLA study reports that the U.S. is the only developed country in the world not to require paid vacation\u2026 and one of only 13 countries in the world, period, that doesn\u2019t require paid vacation. That study was a few years ago, so we\u2019re probably in an even more exclusive club today. In fairness, radio\u2019s dismal number is still better than the overall U.S. workforce.",

        "raw_content": "RT.com / RT projects / Russiapedia / Prominent Russians / Literature / Ivan Goncharov\nProminent Russians: Ivan Goncharov\nImage from www.persony.ru\nThe Russian novelist Ivan Goncharov is one of the greatest realists of Russian literature. His novel \"Oblomov\" and other works are considered classics of Russian fiction.\nIvan Goncharov was born into the well-to-do family of a grain merchant on 18 June 1812 in Simbirsk (now Ulyanovsk). Although the family background was of the merchant class, young Ivan was brought up in the patriarchal atmosphere of Russian manor life. Goncharov's father died in 1819 leaving Ivan to be raised by his godfather, Nikolai Tregubov, a liberal-minded aristocrat and a former mariner. It was Tregubov who developed in the boy a love for novels about traveling, journeys and adventures \u2013 young Goncharov hung upon his stepfather\u2019s lips when the latter recalled his sea voyages and all the difficulties he had to stem.\nGoncharov received an excellent private education. At the age of eight he was sent to a private school, where he stayed for two years until, at the age of 10, he was sent to a private boarding school in Moscow, specializing in commerce. Later, in August 1831, Goncharov successfully entered the Moscow State University, where he studied in the department of literature. Goncharov was quite unsociable and viewed politics with a certain skepticism and therefore did not join any of the student circles that dedicated much of their time to discussing philosophical issues and socio-political matters.\nAfter graduating from the university in 1834 Goncharov returned to Simbirsk and stayed there for nearly a year, serving in the governor\u2019s secretariat. But life far from the city seemed boring, and Goncharov soon moved to Saint Petersburg. The first ten years in the capital were tranquil and longsome \u2013 Goncharov had to serve as a petty official at the foreign trade office. Still, these years turned out to be quite useful, as the writer had plenty of time and opportunity to watch the clerks and officers whose lives he would later describe in his works.\nBeginning of literary career\nIn 1838 and 1839 almanacs of the literary society headed by Nikolay Maikov (Goncharov became acquainted with Maikov\u2019s sons - the poet Apollon Maikov and his brother Valerian - who encouraged Goncharov in his writing aspirations while working at the foreign trade office in St. Petersburg) published Goncharov\u2019s first romantic verses and novelettes. Later, in the spring of 1846 Goncharov met Belinsky \u2013 one of the most renowned Russian literary critics of all times. The latter had a great influence upon the young writer.\nGoncharov's first novel, \u201cObyknovennaya Istoriya\u201d or \u201cA Common Story,\u201d which dealt with the conflicts between the excessive romanticism of a young Russian nobleman freshly arrived in Saint Petersburg from the provinces and the emerging commercial class of the capital with its sober pragmatism, was published in 1847 in the periodical \u201cThe Contemporary.\u201d It was a true sensation in Russia, thanks to the young writer\u2019s talent and praise from the critic Belinsky.\nRound-the-world journey\nBetween 1852 and 1855 Goncharov served as a secretary to the legendary Navy Admiral Yevfimy Putyatin. The writer took part in the historic Russo-Japanese Treaty of 1855, serving as the official interpreter between the Russian and Japanese governments. At that time Goncharov made voyages aboard the Russian Navy frigate \"Pallada,\" visiting many countries in Europe, Africa and Asia. When he returned to Russia he wrote a travelogue describing the journey. It was published in 1858 and presented a chronicle of his three-year voyage; \u201cFrigate Pallada\u201d made a splash in Tsarist Russia.\nImage from www.afisha.ru\nAfter returning to Saint Petersburg in 1856 Goncharov became a government censor - a post that earned him criticism and mistrust among many of his contemporaries. Although his politics as a censor were clearly conservative, when it came to reviewing Russian journals and almanacs, he tried to use his position to allow many important and liberal works of literature into print, including works by Fyodor Dostoyevsky and Alexander Herzen.\nGoncharov\u2019s next book, \u201cOblomov,\u201d published in 1859, made its author a living classic. The novel described a man who was too lazy and inert to live; the work deals not only with the social phenomenon of inertia, but also with the Russian national character. Still, \u201cOblomov\u201d wasn\u2019t easy to write \u2013 Goncharov spent several years producing sketches, throwing them away and rewriting. The novel was hailed as a masterpiece and among others Fyodor Dostoyevsky considered Goncharov a literary equal. From the figure of Oblomov (the main character of the novel) derives the frequently used Russian term \u201coblomovshchina\u201d meaning backwardness, inertia. \u201cOblomov\u201d was even compared to Shakespeare's \u201cHamlet.\u201d The novel was adapted into the eponymous film. In modern Western literature, it is said to have inspired Samuel Beckett's play \u201cWaiting for Godot.\u201d\nIn 1860, when censorship became even more severe than before, Goncharov retired from his government position. But some time later he was again asked to take a position as a censor, which he accepted. He did not quit definitively until 1867.\nGoncharov wrote numerous short stories, critiques, essays and memoirs and continued traveling outside of Russia, but remained known primarily for his novels. During the 1860s Goncharov was part of the St. Petersburg cultural milieu.\nThe third most famous novel by Goncharov, \u201cObryv\u201d (\u201cThe Precipice\u201d), appeared in 1868 though it was started in 1849. As the writer had to work and earn a living, he could not dedicate all his time to writing and the work on the novel slowed and was resumed year after year. Goncharov felt he was getting older, causing him to put the work aside. At times Goncharov felt so pessimistic he thought he wouldn\u2019t be able to finish \u201cObryv.\u201d The last novel of the writer described the rivalry between three men, a nihilist, an idealist and a commonsensical neighbor, for the love of a mysterious woman. The work, however, did not attract much initial attention. Only several years later did the public begin to show interest in \u201cObryv.\u201d With the help of his three most famous novels Goncharov is believed to mirror a certain step in the historical development of Russia.\nOn 12 September 1891 Goncharov caught a cold. The illness developed rapidly and three days later, on 15 September, Ivan Goncharov died of pneumonia at the age of 79. He was buried in Saint Petersburg in the Alexander Nevsky Monastery.\nIvan Goncharov never married, he was said to be shy with women and his love affairs remained a mystery.\nGoncharov\u2019s three major works, commonly known as the \u201cThree O\u2019s\u201d (\u201cObyknovennaya Istoriya,\u201d \u201cOblomov,\u201d \u201cObryv\u201d), are included in the Russian school curriculum and reissued in massive printings.\nGoncharov was said to have shown certain signs of mental instability. For example, he accused Flaubert of getting the idea for \u201cSentimental Education\u201d from Turgenev, who, in his turn, had heard it from Goncharov. Goncharov's unfounded accusation of plagiarism against Ivan Turgenev caused a scandal in the literary world. Goncharov lived most of his life in sedentary seclusion.\nVladimir Nabokov Vladimir Nabokov is Russian-American writer, lecturer and entomologist. Most famous for his novel, Lolita, about a literary scholar\u2019s obsession with a 12 year old girl. Mikhail Lermontov Mikhail Lermontov left a unique legacy in Russian literature and his poetic reputation is second in his native country only to Pushkin\u2019s. Samuil Marshak Marshak was a successful poet, translator, political satirist, state propagandist, magazine editor and author of children's books. Nikolay Leskov Nikolay Leskov was a Russian writer, dubbed the \u201cmost national writer of Russia.\u201d Leo Tolstoy A Russian writer, Leo Tolstoy is widely seen as one of the greatest European novelists of all time. Ivan Turgenev Ivan Turgenev was a novelist, poet and playwright, known for his detailed descriptions of everyday life in 19th century Russia.",

        "raw_content": "January 11, 2016 at 4:19 pm | Posted in Days of my life, Dreams, Inspiration | Leave a comment\nI\u2019ve always had an unwritten wishlist, containing wishes that I thought would\u2019ve never come true. Some items of the list include : I wish I\u2019ve the chance to know my grandparents; I wish I know how it feels to have grandparents; I wish I have siblings; I wish I had the experience of living with a home stay family abroad during a student exchange; I wish I\u2019ve attended Sunday School when I was a child.\nWhen looking at those items logically, they would\u2019ve never happened. Some reasoning/facts behind the concluding logic are : my grandparents have passed away many many years ago; I\u2019m no longer in school so I won\u2019t be doing an exchange, and even if I did, in this age, I would likely prefer to rent a private apartment; and my childhood has way passed to attend a Sunday School.\nYet God is kind and has His own unthinkable way to fulfill our wishes.\nThe professional development program I took back in 2015 includes a 6 weeks module in Hawai\u2019i and in this module, the participants are required to arrange their own accommodation. What the institute has provided us with was a list of host families who are willing to rent out a room in their houses and voila there was I, having a similar arrangement like a high school student when doing an exchange and staying with a home stay family.\nThe other wish which came true was the last one on the list above. In my church we have Sunday School for kids. I just love love kids and always wanted to somehow contribute to the Sunday School. I\u2019ve thought about this since end of 2014 but for certain personal reasons, I\u2019ve only managed to participate last Sunday. There were some songs in the Sunday School that I\u2019m not familiar with and of course I\u2019m not familiar with the dancing/movements that comes along with the songs. Hopefully I\u2019ll manage to learn and get used to it soon.\nIn a further session, the classes where divided based on age, and I joined the 8 year old and above class. Guess what was the topic about? Patience. Hahaha. Something that I\u2019m not so good at and would be my life long learning.\nThough I was in the role as the teacher, it was as if I was learning with the kids as well. That was my impossible-to-happen Sunday School experience. I would never thought that someone like me, who has never participated in a Sunday School before, would\u2019ve able to join and help in a Sunday School. What a magical blessing, isn\u2019t it?\nThere are still lots of items on that wishlist of mine. Some may come true, some may never come true. But one thing I know for sure, that God is kind and He is able \ud83d\ude42\nJanuary 6, 2016 at 4:32 am | Posted in Days of my life, Dreams, Inspiration | Leave a comment\nOn year end of 2014, I said to someone that I just have a hunch that 2015 would be a really exciting year, and it was, with its own definition of \u201cexciting\u201d. I managed to get a job progression, new job offers and a scholarship for an amazing professional development program where not only the content is very good but it also enabled me to live in Japan, Hawaii, Singapore and Thailand for the total of 15 weeks and found precious friendships along the way. Despite those wonderful blessings, my highlight for 2015 is more on the growth of my character through the adversities I\u2019ve to face in 2015.\nIn one of his devotionals, Pastor Rick Warren wrote \u201cGod is more interested in your character than your comfort, and he\u2019s more concerned about your holiness than your happiness\u201d. Through several trials of life, I\u2019ve experienced the meaning of these words myself.\nOn year 2010, I was given an adversity, a trial that is probably His exam to develop several aspects of my character. Unfortunately, I failed, terribly. I became resentful, to God, to this world, and the people in it. I became bitter and it took me years to heal.\nThis year, God gave me different kinds of adversities yet I can see that the exams are for the same characters as He wanted to develop 5 years ago. And there it was, the choice, to be bitter or not to be bitter. Knowing the dark road of bitterness, with His Grace, this time I chose the road to not be bitter but to be better.\nBy choosing the road to be better doesn\u2019t mean that there\u2019s no pain. The pain, the grief, the guilt, the sadness along with other emotions are all still there. But by deliberately choosing not to be bitter is like walking on a dark tunnel towards a light at the end of it, while to be bitter for me is like walking and getting lost in the dark of the wilderness. Both roads are dark and rocky roads and the tunnel is probably a very long one as well, but unlike the uncertain end of the wilderness, the tunnel, no matter how long and dark and rocky it is, provides a light at the end of it, it provides hope.\nAlong the long tunnel, there are temptations, there are so many open exits, wide available access to the wilderness. There were so many situations and emotions that tempted me to be bitter. There were days where I stumbled and need to fight the temptations on daily even hourly basis. I\u2019m blessed that His grace has enlightened me to choose from the start not to be bitter. I began with that decision as the end in mind. I think I unconsciously learned this from Stephen Covey\u2019s The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. I\u2019m also grateful for the hands of the angels sent to me during the difficult times. Those hands have picked me up when I fell and couldn\u2019t get back on my feet by myself.\nHave you ever heard K\u00fcbler-Ross\u2019s five stages of grief? The illustration is as following :\nWe have to pass all of those stages for getting through the adversities. But for me, it\u2019s not stages but more of a spiral or even a roller coaster. There are times when I was moving through the stages back and forth. Sometimes I got angry, depressed, accepting and then back to angry again. It was a horrible roller coaster ride that is exhausting, emotionally, mentally and physically.\nWhen I unconsciously chose the road of bitterness, the uncertain dark of wilderness, the acceptance phase is uncertain. I got lucky because after years I finally came to peace with myself and I got to the acceptance phase. But I\u2019m also seeing examples of people that are still lost in their dark wilderness, stuck on their horrible roller coasters, as long as I\u2019ve known them. They might never end their roller coaster ride. They will be lost forever.\nWhen I deliberately chose the road not to be bitter, I know that I\u2019ll accept it someday. I\u2019ll be okay. I\u2019ll reach the light at the end of the tunnel. The roller coaster ride will end, although I also don\u2019t know when will it end, but I\u2019m trying to get off it day by day, therefore I know and positive that I will end the roller coaster ride and there is hope of a better future beyond the roller coaster ride. The tunnel will lead to something better, according to His plan which is best for me.\nIn the face of adversities, always choose not to be bitter, be better.\nNot only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope (Romans 5:3-4)\nJuly 13, 2015 at 10:25 am | Posted in Uncategorized | Enter your password to view comments.",

        "raw_content": "Previous post: Life Lessons for guaranteed happiness\nNext post: Why people who are not disabled should not use the handicapped restroom\nDo you have a learning disability? Well, I do and with it comes many of challenges. Having a learning disability just means it takes longer for you to understand something. It does not mean that college is completely out of the question. Actually, many with learning disabilities are able to get college degrees they just get the required help. You should never be ashamed to ask for help. People will not look down on you because you don\u2019t understand something, and if they do they\u2019re not worth keeping in your life anyway.\nWhen I was in school I had trouble with math and reading. It didn\u2019t matter how long I looked at the material, it might as well have been in another language. A lot of the time, teachers would try to explain it to me and I would still not get it. I would tell them that. What did they do? They would say the exact same thing but in a louder tone.\nMy problem isn\u2019t hearing, it\u2019s the material I don\u2019t understand. So I would get very frustrated. When someone doesn\u2019t understand something, you need to explain it in a different way not say the same thing but in a louder tone. If I didn\u2019t hear them I would have said so. Sometimes I would get so mad my face would turn bright red and I had to calm myself down. I never understood the logic behind why they just repeated themselves when someone didn\u2019t understand something. I am assuming it\u2019s because they didn\u2019t know any other way to explain it.\nI had a friend with the same problem. She had more of a delay in math than I did. She would sometimes come and ask me for help but since I was barely passing my math class I couldn\u2019t help her. I felt so bad that I couldn\u2019t help but I was better off not helping than trying to help and confusing her more. I wasn\u2019t failing out of pure laziness, it was because of the curriculum, it was designed in a way that had the students teach themselves to do all the problems. I got lucky and I had a teacher that helped me, but my friend was not so lucky. I still couldn\u2019t help my friend, even though I was getting help from the teacher because there was stuff I just never understood!\nMy friends are what help me get through the day when I am having a difficult time. I had a lot of classes with friends that also had a learning disability. If I couldn\u2019t figure something out sometimes they could. Even if they couldn\u2019t, we could always ask for help. Sometimes we would still have a hard time understanding but you have to try. If you don\u2019t at least ask for help, it will look like you don\u2019t care to learn and you don\u2019t want that.\nHaving a learning disability can be challenging but you can also learn a lot about yourself through it. Once you know you\u2019re learning style it can be a lot easier to study. If you don\u2019t know your learning style and you have a learning disability, it\u2019s worth exploring. It will help you learn more efficiently so you spend a lot less time studying. You will know what tools you need.

This claim is backed by observations of increasing atmospheric CO 2 concentrations from nearly 280-ppm around 1750 to 360 ppm in 1995 [4]. By the end of 2010, this number was up to approximately 390 ppm [5]. To reduce human influence on the global environment, carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) is proposed as a means of collecting CO 2 generated through industrial and consumer processes and sequestering it so as not to release it into the atmosphere, thereby reducing atmospheric concentrations of the gas. Suggested methods of sequestration include direct deep-sea injection [6], soil sequestration through improved land use and management practices [7], and geological carbon sequestration in which captured carbon is injected into underground geological features. This research focuses primarily on development and testing of a leak detection technology for deployment to geological sequestration sites. A diverse technology portfolio will be required to implement safe and efficient sequestration solutions [8]. Included in this portfolio is technology capable of monitoring sequestration site integrity; detecting and signaling leakage, should it occur. Early leak detection is paramount to ensuring on-site safety and to minimize, or at least understand, potentially harmful environmental leak effects.",

        "raw_content": "Donald Trump Almost Cameoed as Sharknado 3 President\nWe have a shocking Sharknado revelation: Donald Trump, former reality star and current President of the United States, was this close to making a cameo in 2015's Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! as the movie's president.\nThe third installment in the ridiculous \"it's so bad, it's good\" franchise follows sharknado fighter Fin Shepard (Ian Ziering) as he is in Washington D.C. to receive a Presidential Medal of Freedom from the president (Mark Cuban). While there, another sharknado strikes, devastating the nation's capital leading to the president and Fin to work together to stop the sharks. The movie also has a jam-packed colorful cast of guests stars including Ann Coulter as the vice president, Anthony Weiner, Jerry Springer, George R.R. Martin, Kathie Lee Gifford and more.\nAccording to a report by Screen Crush, Trump was approached by producers to play the movie's president and he actually agreed to the role. That was until producers sent a contract to attorney Michael D. Cohen, only to receive a message back stating, \u201cDonald\u2019s thinking about making a legitimate run for the presidency, so we\u2019ll get back to you.\u201d Considering the movie business waits for no one, they ended up going with Mark Cuban (who played himself) to play the president.\nThat wasn't the end of this crazy Sharknado story though, in typical Trump fashion, he reportedly threatened to sue independent film studio The Asylum and shut the whole film down, according to co-founder and boss David Latt. Here is what Latt recalled published in a story by THR that covered all the wild C-list guest stars in the franchise:\n\u201cThen we immediately heard from Trump\u2019s lawyer,\u201d recalls Latt. \u201cHe basically said, \u2018How dare you? Donald wanted to do this. We\u2019re going to sue you! We\u2019re going to shut the entire show down!\u2019 \u201c Contacted by THR, Cohen acknowledges a dinner with Ziering to discuss casting Trump but says he has no recollection of the angry correspondence.\"\nWhile the entire situation is odd (although not surprising at this point), the timing does make us wonder if the Sharknado 3 offer actually inspired Trump in anyway to run for the actual presidency considering the offer occurred before Trump announced his 2016 presidential bid. Either way, we do know that the newest installment in the series, Sharknado 5: Global Swarming, with the clever tagline \"Make America Bait Again\" was clearly inspired by Trump's presidential campaign and we are curious to see just how much of Trump's politics made it into new movie in the franchise that keeps on swimming while pushing out new, and relevant, sharknado terrors.\nScreen Rant will keep you updated on all Sharknado news.\nTags: sharknado, sharknado 3",

It\u2019s no easy game to live a life of fame; after all in some cases we have seen fame deconstruct the lives of those who we call celebrity.\nThese ideas are extremely important when a cause comes to be in our hands that need to be spoken of and more importantly when action must be taken. HIV/AIDS as been an issue in this country since it\u2019s media storm hit in 1981. In 2011 HIV/AIDS is proudly been renamed as a chronic illness, we have seen many advances in this world of the Positive living.\n2011 also marks a big milestone for HIV/AIDS, this year one of the most famous and infamous diseases turns 30. In its 30years of being, we have seen deaths and life changing examples being lead by those who are know as celebrity. Since the early years of HIV/AIDS it has been stigmatized as a GAY death sentence, and of course the Deviant consequence of a sexual lifestyle. Since the discovery of HIV/AIDS or rather GRID (Gay-Related Immune Deficiency) which was the original name given in 1981, it has transformed us in ways that makes us feel we are the only ones that have this fear. Which is not the case, HIV/AIDS \u201cInfects and Affects\u201d us all.\nWhen life decides to throw a curve ball your way, we feel the sense of being alone in a battle that seems to be larger than us. In times such as these we turn to those who may help us, or just simply distract us from life changing moments. We turn to those who may actually be the friend that is ready to listen and talk some sense into us; we turn to those who are known as celebrity. The ones who for as long as we have admired them, NOW, see them in a different light, we see them in the light of Help, the light of change, and of course The Light at the end of the tunnel. HIV/AIDS is an issue that through the years has slowly become a non issue. Everyday as we get closer and closer to a cure, we seem to notice how many people have stopped talking about HIV/AIDS. In some states, such as TEXAS, HIV/AIDS has even been considered a NON-MAJOR health issue in terms of state funding. The tides are starting to shift into a world of UN-Awareness. HIV/AIDS to this day has the highest numbers of people being infected everyday.\nOne thing remains however, That the voices are still out there, fighting for the ones who feel don\u2019t have a platform. In times of stress no matter work, financial, or Diagnosis related, we must remember the loud voices of reason, the voices of those who we admire, the voices of those who we call Celebrity. As I write these words, we must remember two pioneers, who where among the 1st to voice HOPE. The late Princess Diana and the late DAME ELIZABETH TAYLOR, who at a time of crisis stood up and let the world, know they were equally affected. Celebrity\u2019s play heavy roles in our society, The most important thing we need to notice is that they are just like you and me, expect they have in their possession a platform, a platform of reason, a platform of hope, a POSITITVE PLATFORM.\n\u201dMany thanks to the ones we call Celebrities for helping us voice our fears and above all voice our HOPE!\u201d\n\u201cSpecial Thanks to Jill Zarin, Tyler J. Helms for using your POSTITIVE PLATFORMS\u201d\n\u2190 Fashion-STATE-Ments\nLa Donna Cosa Nostra \u2192",

        "raw_content": "Credit: Turtle Trax\nThe Olive Ridley (Lepdochelys olivacea) is the second smallest of the sea turtles, with sizes marginally larger than its close relative the Kemp\u2019s Ridley. They weigh around 110 pounds and measure only 2.5 feet in length. They get their name from the olive green color of their shell and are found in tropical waters of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans. Even though they are one of the most abundant species in terms of population size, they are currently listed as Vulnerable by the IUCN Red List due to their smaller range and limited nesting habitats. Any major disturbance to just a few of their nesting beaches could be detrimental to the species.\nThe Kemp\u2019s Ridley is a close relative, with the major difference being that the Olive Ridley inhabits warmer waters\nOlive Ridleys are commonly found in coastal areas but during breeding season they have been spotted up to 2,400 miles off the shore\nThey are one of only two species that nest as a synchronized event called the arribada (arrival in Spanish) where hundreds of thousands of females come ashore in waves to nest on beaches in Central America and East India\nCommon food sources for the Olive Ridley include jellyfish, crabs, snails and shrimp\nFemales nest one to three times each breeding season, producing an average clutch size of 100 eggs\nThe Olive Ridley faces threats from poaching, marine debris and bycatch. Conservation efforts to save this species span many countries, as nesting beaches occur in over 10 different nations. Important beaches throughout Central America have been protected as reserves. Modifications to fishing gear will help reduce the amount of incidental capture of sea turtles in the ocean.",

        "title": "American League | Section 26",
        "raw_content": "MLB Realignment Solution\nFor a few weeks, Major League Baseball has been discussing the idea of a \u201cfloating realignment.\u201d This \u201cfloating realignment\u201d would in effect give talented teams in difficult divisions an advantage towards making the playoffs.\nThe key example cited was moving the Tampa Bay Rays to the American League Central and having the Kansas City Royals replace them in the American League East. This change would happen primarily so that the Tampa Bay Rays, Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees would all make the playoffs in the same season.\nThis \u201cfloating realignment\u201d is a mockery and is disrespectful to the concept of honest competition. Moving a talented team to improve their success rate goes against everything we are taught as youths. It supports the idea of taking the easy way out and relying on others to fix your problems rather than working hard.\nI propose a more balanced and just solution. Instead of assisting certain teams in their playoff runs and trying to set up success, MLB needs to take this opportunity to rejuvenate the sport.\nBaseball has had trouble with fan numbers decreasing since the \u201cSteroid Era.\u201d Casual fans have dropped the sport and moved their fandom to more exciting sports on the rise, such as Major League Soccer and the action sports performed in the X-Games.\nWith a possible owner lockout looming over the National Football League, now is the time for MLB to recapture fan interest and take a step closer to becoming the national pastime once again.\nBut the question then arises, what would bring back the casual fans? Look at what excites the typical casual fans in your local area. You are likely to see two key factors: rivalry games and home runs. Instead of realigning for the success of certain teams, MLB should realign to revitalize rivalries.\nThis idea of casual fan interest is what drew me to this realignment. Doing this would put every local rivalry in the same division, therefore providing the fans with more, and more meaningful rivalries.\nAlso, this realignment would give the classic baseball fans such as me new, energetic rivalries for our respective teams. Teams would get to play opponents they would not usually see on the diamond. This would appeal to everyone, from casual fans to die hard fans to the men on the field.\nIn addition to the classic and new rivalries, this realignment would balance out the American League and National League. And because of that, their rules would have to match, meaning the National League would have to implement to designated hitter rule. This would make inter-league play more straightforward and fair. Not to mention this would help with fans because, simply put, chicks dig the long ball.\nThe divisional realignment goes as follows:\nEast \u2013 Baltimore Orioles, Boston Red Sox, New York Mets, New York Yankees, Washington Nationals\nCentral \u2013 Cincinnati Reds, Cleveland Indians, Milwaukee Brewers, Minnesota Twins, Toronto Blue Jays\nWest \u2013 Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Los Angeles Dodgers, Oakland Athletics, San Francisco Giants, Seattle Mariners\nEast \u2013 Atlanta Braves, Florida Marlins, Philadelphia Phillies, Pittsburgh Pirates, Tampa Bay Rays\nCentral \u2013 Chicago Cubs, Chicago White Sox, Detroit Tigers, Kansas City Royals, St. Louis Cardinals\nWest \u2013 Arizona Diamondbacks, Colorado Rockies, Houston Astros, San Diego Padres, Texas Rangers\nThis alignment maintains the two rivalries in baseball that I feel should go untouched, Yankees-Red Sox and Cubs-Cardinals. It also gives more meaning to the local rivalries including the Subway Series, the Bay Series and many others in-state matchups.\nI strongly urge MLB to take a look at this and give it strong consideration. This would keep the die hard fans and regain a firm grasp on the casual fans. Baseball would be able to return to the glorious days of exciting play that we, the fans have all come to miss.\nLeave a Comment \u00bb\t| Major League Baseball\t| Tagged: American League, Arizona Diamondbacks, Atlanta Braves, Baltimore Orioles, Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs, Chicago White Sox, Cincinnati Reds, Cleveland Indians, Colorado Rockies, Detroit Tigers, Florida Marlins, Houston Astros, Kansas City, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Los Angeles Dodgers, Major League Baseball, Milwaukee Brewers, Minnesota Twins, MLB, MLB Floating Realignment, MLB Realignment, MLS, National League, New York Mets, New York Yankees, NFL, Oakland A's, Philadelphia Phillies, Pittsburgh Pirates, Royals, San Diego Padres, San Francisco Giants, Seattle Mariners, St. Louis Cardinals, Tampa Bay Rays, Texas Rangers, Toronto Blue Jays, Washington Nationals, X-Games\t| Permalink\nA S26S Look Ahead to 2010\nNew Year\u2019s Day is right around the corner, which means we must all turn our calendars to 2010.\nThe 2009 sports year was an exciting one, full of surprises and intrigue. Sports fans witnessed the dominance of traditional powers in the NBA and MLB, the true solidification of a NASCAR superstar, and the fall of the greatest athlete in the world, Tiger Woods.\nWhile 2009 gave the fans numerous memories to hold on to for years to come, we at Section 26 Sports would like to take a look at the biggest events to come in 2010. Here are five of the more exciting and captivating events to prepare yourselves for.\nTiger Woods\u2019 Return \u2013 By now, everyone has heard the Tiger Woods story. From the car accident to the affair, to the unbelievable amount of women coming out claiming an affair with the golfer. We are only concerned with the action on the golf course, however. These events originally forced Woods to cancel his participation in his own tournament. He is now in the midst of an \u201cindefinite break\u201d from golf. This can hurt his reputation, as well as that of the PGA Tour. If Woods does not participate, the PGA would likely lose many viewers. Golf will not be the same until he returns. Look and hope for that day to be in 2010, my guess would be closer to the Summer. Sports media will explode that day, so begin preparing now.\nUrban Meyer and Florida Football \u2013 On December 26th, Urban Meyer announced he has resigned as Florida\u2019s head football coach due to health reasons. On December 27th, after a \u201cspirited practice\u201d he changed his resignation to an \u201cindefinite leave of absence.\u201d The point is, at this point, he is expected to not be the head coach for the 2010 season. Instead, current offensive coordinator Steve Addazio will take over as interim head coach. From my personal opinion, expect to hear Urban Meyer\u2019s input all season and an announcement of his return after the annual clash with Florida State. But do not be surprised to hear something else happen, for example Meyer becoming the head coach for the Jacksonville Jaguars as they draft Tim Tebow in the 2010 NFL Draft. Again, that is just a hunch.\nThe 2010 Heisman Race \u2013 What makes this race more intriguing than most years is that the 2009 winner, Alabama running back Mark Ingram will only be a junior. He has the potential to not only repeat, but \u201cthree-peat.\u201d Fans saw this with Florida quarterback Tim Tebow in 2007, but he could not repeat in 2008 or 2009. Ingram will be on an Alabama team that is not expected to drop far from their current status of SEC Champions. The team success and personal achievement of Ingram could lead to a historical Heisman race in 2010. Other names to watch for: Oregon quarterback Jeremiah Masoli, Washington quarterback Jack Locker, Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor, West Virginia running back Noel Devine.\nThe American League East Race \u2013 The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox seem to always come down to the wire in the race for the AL East Pennant. This race epitomizes the excitement in Major League Baseball. Both teams spend more money than many fans think was even possible to do what is necessary to win such a difficult division and league. So far in the offseason, the Yankess have signed outfielder Curtis Granderson and first basemen Nick Johnson, and traded for starting pitcher Javier Vazquez. In the midst of these moves, they will no longer have designated hitter Hideki Matsui or outfielder Melky Cabrera. The Red Sox made big noise signing starting pitcher John Lackey and outfield Mike Cameron in mid-December. And earlier in the month they signed shortstop Marco Scutaro. Expect both of these teams to be two of the top teams in all of MLB and make the playoffs next season. This hated rivalry should become a battle for the top seed in the playoffs and go to September before it is decided.\nThe World Cup \u2013 The World Cup begins play June 11th as the host South Africa faces Mexico. The big match for Americans will be the nation\u2019s first as they play one of the world\u2019s elite teams, England on June 12th. The good news for the USA is that even with a loss to England, the round of sixteen seems a likely achievement. The group to keep your eye on however is Group G, which has been dubbed the \u201cGroup of Death\u201d for 2010. This group is headlined by another of the world\u2019s elite, Brazil, and also fields two of the stronger teams, Portugal and North Korea. As if that was not difficult enough, the World Cup sleeper team, the Ivory Coast also plays in this group. Who escapes this group with hopes for the title is anyone\u2019s guess.\nThe 2010 sports year looks promising for fans of all sports all over the world. Keep your eyes out for these storylines, as well as the many others that are sure to pop up throughout the year.\nLeave a Comment \u00bb\t| College Football, Major League Baseball, NFL Football, Uncategorized\t| Tagged: 2010 Heisman Trophy, 2010 NFL Draft, 2010 World Cup, AL East, Alabama Crimson Tide, American League, American League East, Boston Red Sox, Brazil, Curtis Granderson, England, FIFA, Florida Gators, Florida State Seminoles, Group of Death, Hideki Matsui, Ivory Coast, Jacksonville Jaguars, Jake Locker, Javier Vazquez, Jeremiah Masoli, John Lackey, Major League Baseball, Marco Scutaro, Mark Ingram, Melky Cabrera, Mexico, Mike Cameron, MLB, NASCAR, National Football League, NBA, New York Yankees, NFL, Nick Johnson, Noel Devine, North Korea, Ohio State Buckeyes, Oregon Ducks, PGA Tour, Portugal, SEC, Section 26 Sports, Soccer, South Africa, Southeastern Conference, Steve Addazio, Terrelle Pryor, Tiger Woods, Tim Tebow, United States, Urban Meyer, USA, Washington Huskies, West Virginia Mountaineers\t| Permalink",

        "raw_content": "Home > About > About Sepsis > Patient Stories > Samar's Story\nSamar's Story\nNishi, Shrey and Neel\nIt\u2019s a phone call that will haunt me for the rest of my life. It was the hospital consultant, calling to tell me that my 6 day old son\u2019s heart was failing, and they needed to start chest compressions. Even though I remember that phone call so clearly, I can only remember quick snippets of the horrendous few hours which followed: the struggle to run as fast as we could to the car, leaving my pyjamas in a heap on the floor, and looking back as I closed the front door and seeing them and ludicrously thinking Nishi would tell me off for putting my clothes in a messy heap; the desperate need to reach the hospital as soon as possible and therefore pushing past the speed limit to finish the journey which had become all too familiar in those past few days; the sinking dread of what we would find at Samar\u2019s temporary home once we arrived; and the shattered faces of the doctors and nurses as they knew they would have to deliver the hardest news of all \u2013 they would have to tell parents that their baby had not survived.\nWith hindsight, the phone call from the consultant should not have been a surprise. Samar\u2019s blood pressure had become unsustainable many hours previously, and we had been warned that this could be a potential outcome. Nevertheless, on that mad final 3am dash to the hospital, we had hope in our hearts, and kept a positive outlook in the hope that the chest compressions would somehow not only give him his heart back but also miraculously stabilise his blood pressure in a way that the cocktail of drugs could not. After all, losing a baby was the kind of thing that happened to other couples, not to us, and we weren\u2019t going to give up on our hopes and dreams so easily.\nAnd what hopes and dreams they were \u2013 nothing spectacular, nothing earth-shattering, just the hopes and dreams shared by a hundred thousand parents-to-be from all over the world and all through time\u2026\u2026the fulfilment that comes from adding to your family, the anticipation of Shrey having a little brother to play with, and the bottomless joy that comes from creating new life. These were all hopes and dreams formed not only when he was in the womb for 9 months, but also in those first few days when I held him in my arms and never wanted to let go.\nEven though Samar\u2019s life shone brightly for us in that time, the truth is that in his six days on this Earth he won\u2019t have, can\u2019t have, touched many others in the same way that he touched me and Nishi. So this is an attempt to tell Samar\u2019s story, and even though it feels pointless, I hope the act of sharing his story will ensure that his memory lives long in the minds and hearts of others.\nSamar Gandesha was born on 25 May 2018, at 6.49pm, in Dubai, and he was 6 weeks early and weighed 1.5kg after yet another super-quick labour for Nishi. Small, yes, and early, yes, but within the \u201csafe\u201d ranges for his gestation and as the doctors took him off to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, we felt confident that once he had fed well and grown, he would be able to join us in our newly extended family at home. The doctors told us they didn\u2019t expect any intense medical intervention, and our main priority in the first few hours and days was ensuring that he had enough to eat and enough full nappies to show us he was getting the nutrition he needed. Everything was fine for a couple of days, he lost a bit of weight initially as expected, but the first sign of something wrong came on the evening of the 28th May, when the neonatal nurse spotted a variation in Samar\u2019s temperature. An overnight test for infection came back positive, and suddenly on the morning of the 29th Nishi and I noticed a step-up in both the urgency with which Samar was being treated and the tone with which the doctors addressed us. Even though we didn\u2019t realise it at the time, septic shock was already on the minds of the medical professionals who had the job of directing Samar\u2019s tiny body to fight off the infection that he had suddenly developed.\nThe crux of the matter is; nothing worked. Not the variety of antibiotics they gave Samar, not the blood pressure medication they gave him as his little body began to give in to the infection which was attacking his body, not the central line they fed through his chest to deliver ever-increasing doses of powerful drugs, and certainly not the desperate wishes of his two helpless parents, crouched next to his incubator for two full days and obsessing about every slight fluctuation in his vital signs from the countless number of machines and alarms he was hooked up to. From the evening of the 29th to the morning of the 31st May, Samar\u2019s organs slowly began to shut down, and on the 31st May he passed only a trace amount of urine. From there it was only a short deterioration to reach that fateful 3am phonecall from the hospital, and Samar Gandesha\u2019s life was extinguished just 6 days after it began.\nEmptiness followed. I always thought the death of a loved one would be followed by an intense period of grief, where you don\u2019t know what day of the week it is, whether you\u2019ve showered or not, or what time you last ate. In fact, all I remember from after the first few days after he left us is a feeling of numbness. The best way to describe it would be a feeling of being on autopilot and walking around in a daze not being able to fully appreciate what had happened. Maybe it\u2019s a coping mechanism, but my brain didn\u2019t feel able to compute all the outpouring of love and affection we were receiving from family, friends and colleagues.\nI do remember Nishi and I talking a lot about everything; what had happened, what we had lost, how to break the news to Shrey, and a variety of other things. Even though we didn\u2019t realise it at the time, these were key moments in us reacting to what had happened and slowly beginning to process the grief. And we did react in very different ways. Immediately after he left us, Nishi felt a keen sense of the loss of a baby, and she desperately wanted to have a little one to hold and cuddle. I\u2019m not saying I didn\u2019t feel that way as well, but I do wonder if the act of carrying a baby around for 8 months gave her a visceral connection to Samar which would have taken me time to build. After all, I can only imagine the unspeakable cruelty of carrying a baby around for 8 months, delivering him, holding and feeding him, and then watching him pass away.\nInstead, my grieving in those early days was more focused on the \u201cwhat if\u201d and the massive sense of waste; waste of a brother for Shrey, waste of another boy for me, and waste of another son for Nishi. Seeing Shrey progress from a tiny little baby to a little boy has been the most fulfilling aspect of my life and it feels so wasteful to have had another opportunity to be a father, only to have it cruelly snatched away. Never will we know who Samar would have become and what he would have achieved. Never will we see him sit up for the first time, hear his first words, or toddle after his big brother. What milestones we had to look forward to! A lifetime with Shrey and Samar stretched ahead before us, and it filled us with happiness and anticipation as to what was in store. I know for a fact I would have been as obsessed with Samar as I am with Shrey, and I know that all three of us just had so much love to give baby Samar.\nMy other overwhelming feeling in the early days was one of guilt. The perception of a father as a protector is one that stretches back many thousands of years. Yet I had sat by helplessly and watch my little boy fight and battle and eventually fail in his challenges to overcome his illness. What kind of father was I? I went over and over the times we had been to see Samar in the hospital. Had I failed to wash my hands properly? Had he caught a bug from me? Would this have happened if we had been living in London? Why wasn\u2019t I able to help him? Even now, every time I close my eyes I can see him in his incubator, looking up at me with his big eyes, inquisitively, those eyes politely enquiring when I was going to do something to make him better, and get him home so we could be a family.\nHowever, going too far down that path leads pretty quickly to destruction and that wasn\u2019t something I was going to do. It helps that in Nishi, I had someone who was completely unwavering in her love, support and strength. It\u2019s funny \u2013 the main thing people would tell me in the early days (quite rightly) was to make sure I looked after Nishi and to make sure she was OK. When I imagine what she would have been going through it makes my heart break. Although as things turned out, it was the exact opposite \u2013 Nishi was my strength through everything. We went through our most terrible times together and the crushing sorrow we experienced affected every aspect of our lives. Yet Nishi unquestioningly allowed me to draw on her strength, resolve and courage to help support me when I stumbled, and shone a light for me in my darkest hours. It is no exaggeration to say that without her, I couldn\u2019t have got through it.\nThis was never more true than on the day of the funeral. What Nishi and I experienced together is behind a locked door in our minds. It\u2019s not a door either of us want to go through again any time soon, although I am sure there will be a time when we carefully push the door open, hand-in-hand, and re-visit the day we cremated our 6 day old son. That day is not today, though, and even if I knew every single word from every single language in the world, I still wouldn\u2019t be able to find the words to articulate the events of that day.\nSamar. The name means \u201cCommander\u201d in Sanskrit and \u201cReward\u201d in Arabic. We deliberated for ages before we decided. We wanted our little boy\u2019s name to be perfect. Babies are such blank slates \u2013 they write their own stories as they develop their own personalities, characters and lives \u2013 and Samar had his whole story ahead of him. I constantly wonder what his story would have been, and where his life would have taken him. in fact, we are left with a lifetime of questions. What would Samar have looked like? Who would Samar have looked like? What would he have enjoyed doing? What kind of brother would Shrey have been? Our world is a slightly emptier place without the daily joy he would have brought us and the simple pleasures of having a new baby to love. I\u2019m glad that we at least have some photos of him, even if they were taken in hospital. I\u2019ll never forget the feelings of holding Samar in my arms but at least the photos we do have capture those moments and preserve them as we go onwards.\nOnwards: Time has passed now, and as I write this it\u2019s been 6 months since he left us. The passage of time is cruel \u2013 a blessing in one way, as it gives distance from the raw pain, heartache and despair which seemed to drown us in the early days. However, time also gives a sense of perspective on what we\u2019ve lost and the big hole in our family which Samar has left. When Samar was two days old he had a fit of hiccups. Nothing exciting, I know, but he only weighed 1.5kg and so every violent hiccup would almost throw him up in the air and then he would land with a startled bump. I am not sure why that stuck in my head so clearly, but every single time I have heard someone hiccup since that day has made me think of Samar. It\u2019s the little things that stay with you but also the big picture that looks so different without Samar. We see friends and acquaintances moving forwards with their lives and we are compelled to do the same \u2013 you can\u2019t go backwards \u2013 whilst at the same time yearning for just one chance to hit \u201cUndo\u201d, and do the whole thing again\u2026 maybe things would turn out differently?\nI have also become mildly obsessed with \u201cprotecting\u201d myself from encountering families of four \u2013 utterly ridiculous I know \u2013 because it\u2019s such a stark reminder of what we should have had. Even now my heart skips a beat when I see a pregnant woman. Seeing a new mother with a baby in a pram takes my breath away. It\u2019s the kind of thing that stays with you forever I guess, and not something you \u201cget over\u201d, but I hope I can eventually learn to take happiness in others\u2019 happiness, and rejoice when friends are rejoicing, rather than just feeling a massive sense of injustice.\nBut let me be clear. If there is one aspect where the passage of time has helped, it\u2019s to sharpen our focus on what we do have, rather than what we don\u2019t. We have the unwavering support of each other, but also the love and light from our families and the care and attention from our friends. We live thousands of miles away from our families, and from most of our friends, and yet never have we felt closer than when everyone put their arms around us and were there for us to lean on when we needed them.\nAnd of course \u2013 there\u2019s Shrey.\nIf someone had asked me even 3 months before Samar was born, it would have been the case that Shrey was my whole world \u2013 I couldn\u2019t ever think of a time where I could imagine being happier. However, with the way Samar was taken from us, reverting to the three of us feels cruel and unfair. And that is so harsh for Shrey, who seems to have taken this all in his stride. He asked about baby brother a lot when we told him Samar wasn\u2019t coming home, and he remembers Samar was born on a Friday and he remembers seeing him sleep in NICU.\nBreaking the news to him was entirely confusing and Nishi and I felt so conflicted. How much do we tell him? Do 3 year olds understand death? Shrey talked endlessly about baby brother while Nishi was pregnant, and seeing Shrey now without the brother he was so looking forward to fills me with an overwhelming sadness. I feel like I\u2019ve been kicked in the stomach every time I see a pair of siblings having fun with each other because of what Shrey has been denied. But he\u2019s a resilient little guy. He takes joy from everything a normal 3 year old takes joy in, and is growing up to be a happy and well-rounded boy. He has helped our scars to heal without even realising. One day, in the future, we will tell him Samar\u2019s story when he is old enough. It\u2019s not a day I am looking forward to, and yet it\u2019s not a day I am dreading either \u2013 for 6 days of my life, I had two sons, and Samar\u2019s story is one that I will never get tired of telling.\nSo \u2013 the story of Samar Gandesha is primarily one of indescribable loss. Nishi and I will certainly never be the same people again. He came and left us so quickly, and yet he will have an everlasting impact on everything that we do in our lives. As the anniversaries come and go, we will forever have a piece missing from our family. We miss him every single minute of every single day, and we will love him forever.\nAnd yet\u2026 the story of Samar Gandesha is also one of hope and strength. Nishi and I will never be the same people again \u2013 we will be stronger. He came and left us so quickly yet had a completely and utterly disproportionate effect on our lives and he taught us that love, life, hope and happiness will forever and always defeat sadness, grief and despair.\nWe miss him every single minute of every single day, and we will love him forever.\nNeel Gandesha\nNishi and Neel",

        "raw_content": "Apologies, ranked\nYehuda shares this list with us:\nThere are many incorrect ways to formulate an apology, but only a few correct ones.\nOn a scale of 1 to 10, where 10 is best:\n\"You can always take your business elsewhere.\" (1): Thank you, I will, and so will all of my friends.\n\"It\u2019s not our fault.\" (2): This is a non-apology, where you are not seeking to redress the issue, nor evincing any sort of sympathy for the injured.\n\"We\u2019re sorry that you feel that way.\" (3): This is also a non-apology, which roughly translates into \"It pisses us off that you feel that way. If you didn\u2019t feel that way, we would be happy.\" It also doesn\u2019t take any responsibility for the problem, and places all of it onto the injured party. Be careful of any apology that starts \"I\u2019m sorry that you\u2026\"\n\"We\u2019re sorry if we did something wrong.\" (6): This is getting there, but doesn\u2019t really accept responsibility either. You are not acknowledging that you did anything wrong; you\u2019re still hoping that you haven\u2019t. You are offering an apology for appearances sake.\n\"We\u2019re sorry that this occurred.\" (7): You are sorry, but as a matter of principle you\u2019re still trying to insist that it wasn\u2019t really your fault.\n\"We\u2019re sorry that we caused this problem.\" or \"We\u2019re sorry that we have let this happen.\" (9): This is a full apology, and is what the customer needs to hear. Frankly, it doesn\u2019t matter that it was really the post office\u2019s fault, and not yours; the customer doesn\u2019t care. Most people hearing this cannot help but respond with some sort of graciousness, such as \"Well, all right then, these things happen. What are you going to do to fix it?\" This is the target level that you want to hit for your customer service. But for the record, there is still one level to go. The complete apology is:\n\"We\u2019re so sorry that we caused this problem; we are really distressed over this. Please know that we take this very seriously. This is a huge oversight on our part. I will immediately notify my supervisor, and we will review our procedures to ensure that this cannot happen again. In the meantime, that is no consolation to you for our lack of service! What can we do to regain your trust? We will be sending you a little surprise as a token of our appreciation of having you as a customer.\" (10) In truth, this little speech goes on until the customer interrupts. And it is followed by a few more apologies as the conversation closes, as well.",

        "title": "Was Madame de Genlis Napoleon\u2019s spy? | Shannon Selin",
        "raw_content": "Madame de Genlis by Ad\u00e9la\u00efde Labille-Guiard, 1790\nMadame de Genlis was a popular and prolific writer of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Her works were widely read throughout Europe, as well as in her native France. As governor to the children of the Orl\u00e9ans branch of the royal family \u2013 a rare position for a woman \u2013 Madame de Genlis became known for her innovative approach to education. After losing her husband and fortune in the French Revolution, Madame de Genlis turned to Napoleon Bonaparte for support. In return, Napoleon required her to write him regular letters. This led to suspicions that she was Napoleon\u2019s spy.\nSt\u00e9phanie F\u00e9licit\u00e9 du Crest was born into a family of minor nobility on January 25, 1746 at Champc\u00e9ry near Autun in Burgundy. F\u00e9licit\u00e9\u2019s parents \u2013 constantly in debt \u2013 were not particularly attentive to her education. Her musical skill and taste for literature developed when she and her mother were compelled to stay with relatives in Paris while her father tried to make some money in Saint-Domingue. By the age of 15 she was considered a virtuoso on the harp.\nWhen she was 17, F\u00e9licit\u00e9 married Charles-Alexis Br\u00fblart, the Comte de Genlis (later the Marquis of Sillery). Genlis was an aristocratic colonel of grenadiers who had been imprisoned in England with F\u00e9licit\u00e9\u2019s father. The new Madame de Genlis made up for the gaps in her education by adopting a rigorous schedule of learning: she took up drawing and painting; she practiced music; she read avidly; and she began to write a diary. She also gave birth to two daughters, Caroline (b. 1765) and Pulch\u00e9rie (b. 1767), and a son, Casimir (b. 1768), who died of measles at the age of five.\nIn 1770, at the age of 24, Madame de Genlis became a lady-in-waiting to the Duchess of Chartres. The Duchess and her husband \u2013 the future Duke of Orl\u00e9ans, also known as Philippe-Egalit\u00e9 \u2013 were members of France\u2019s ruling Bourbon dynasty. The Duke entered into a brief affair with Madame de Genlis, and contemporaries believed that the couple had an illegitimate daughter.\nIn 1777, the Duke and Duchess made Madame de Genlis governess of their newborn twin daughters. In 1782, the Duke extended her position to include governorship of the couple\u2019s three sons. This caused a scandal. Women in France did not typically oversee the education of adolescent aristocratic boys, let alone princes. The eldest son later became the Duke of Orl\u00e9ans, who poses a threat to the ruling Bourbons in Napoleon in America. In 1830, he became King Louis Philippe of France.\nAt a time when French education consisted mainly of instruction in traditional disciplines like classics, history and mythology, Madame de Genlis taught her charges natural history, geography, physics, anatomy, modern languages (Italian, English and German instead of Latin and Greek), and manual trades. She took them on field trips. She instructed them in religion, music and theatre. She also wrote prodigiously. In 1779, she published Th\u00e9\u00e2tre \u00e0 l\u2019usage des jeunes personnes, a book of plays for children.\nThese dramas are mere treatises of morality put into action, and it is hoped the Young may find them not devoid of interesting and persuasive lessons: besides, from learning by heart, and representing these Plays, many advantages will result; excellent principles will be graven on the minds of the Performers, their memory will be exercised, their pronunciation formed, and they will acquire grace and a pleasing deportment. (1)\nThis was followed by more volumes of plays, along with numerous pedagogical tracts, pamphlets and articles. In 1782, Madame de Genlis published a long epistolary novel, Ad\u00e8le et Th\u00e9odore ou Lettres sur l\u2019\u00e9ducation, which became popular across Europe.\nThe French Revolution parted Madame de Genlis from her pupils, and took the life of both her husband and her employer. She went into exile, first in England, then in Switzerland and Germany. Madame de Genlis supported herself by writing and painting. Among other things, she published a bilingual guidebook (in French and in German \u2013 later expanded to include English, Italian, Spanish and Russian) that provided phrases helpful for travel at the time. For example, here is some suggested dialogue in the event of \u201ca warrior in an enemy\u2019s country and asking victuals in a private house.\u201d\n[The warrior:] My friends, don\u2019t be afraid, we will do you no harm. We want victuals without any delay. Give us bread, wine, brandy, beer and potatoes. Make haste. We must have them and don\u2019t force us to search your house violently\u2026.\n[The resident of the house:] Brave warrior, may you be blessed by God as you are blessed by your enemy! (2)\nMadame de Genlis returned to France in 1800. As her husband\u2019s assets had been dispersed, she continued to live by her pen, writing on education, morals and religion. Though she remained a supporter of monarchy, she did not write about politics, and (unlike her counterpart Madame de Sta\u00ebl) she did not criticize Napoleon Bonaparte. Instead, Madame de Genlis sought Napoleon\u2019s favour.\nNapoleon\u2019s spy?\nIn 1802, Napoleon provided Madame de Genlis with an apartment in the Arsenal Library. After becoming Emperor in 1804, he granted her a pension of 6,000 francs a year. In return, Napoleon required that Madame de Genlis write him regular letters. Some thought this was a pretext for her to act as Napoleon\u2019s spy among partisans of the ancien r\u00e9gime. French Foreign Minister Talleyrand (not always a reliable source) recounted how, on the evening of the Battle of Austerlitz, he read to Napoleon the \u201creport\u201d of Madame de Genlis.\nIt was long, and written entirely in her own hand. She spoke of the spirit of Paris, and quoted a few offensive conversations held, she said, in those houses which were then called Faubourg Saint-Germain; she named five or six families, which, never, she added, would rally to the government of the emperor. Some rather biting expressions which Mme. de Genlis reported set Napoleon in an inconceivable state of fury; he swore and stormed against the Faubourg Saint-Germain. (3)\nHowever, according to Napoleon\u2019s private secretary Baron M\u00e9neval, the letters were simply intended to make Madame de Genlis feel that she was not living on imperial charity.\nMadame de Genlis\u2026on her return from exile, had found herself like many other honourable exiles, in a state of destitution. The Minister of the Interior, M. Chaptal, gave her an apartment in the buildings of the Arsenal library. Madame de Genlis lived there on the income produced by her numerous books, and some assistance which she received from the funds reserved for literary people. When Napoleon became Emperor he ordered Lavalette to pay her five hundred francs a month, and, in order to spare her feelings, had told her that he wished her to write to him every fortnight on matters of literature and morality. The help which Madame de Genlis received from Napoleon\u2019s generosity, the help which was afterwards extended to her by Queen Julia of Naples, and the resources procured from the sale of her works, did not prevent her from being invariably in embarrassed circumstances. She used to apply to me when she wanted some advance on the income allowed her by the Emperor\u2026. (4)\nNapoleon never met with Madame de Genlis. Their relations were confined to letter writing. While the letters do not appear to have survived, Madame de Genlis jotted down some of the \u201cSubjects of Notes for the Emperor.\u201d These included:\nOn injustice in general. The thing it is most difficult to endure.\nOn Magnetism.\nOn the sorceresses of Paris \u2013 Mlle. Normand.\nOn dreams, etc.\nOn the house of M. de Choiseul.\nOn the newspapers. (Keep this clear of politics.)\nOn the inns of Spain\nOn the occult sciences. (5)\nShe also described her relations with the Orl\u00e9ans family, related accounts of Court in the pre-revolutionary days, and provided Napoleon with advice on the primary education of girls. In 1812, Napoleon appointed Madame de Genlis inspectress of the schools in her district of Paris. He did not, however, sufficiently trust her to educate his nieces, Z\u00e9na\u00efde and Charlotte Bonaparte.\nM. Sabatier\u2026had introduced Madame de Genlis to the virtuous Julie Bonaparte [wife of Napoleon\u2019s brother Joseph], at that time Queen of Naples, and had advised his friend at the same time to ask to be allowed to take charge of the education of the Queen\u2019s daughters. Madame de Genlis, who thought herself born with the vocation for teaching and guiding her neighbour by inculcating her opinions and principles, had jumped at this idea. She wrote in consequence to the Emperor to obtain his consent in the matter. This application was contained in her fortnightly paper, and was accompanied by protestations of gratitude and the expression of her wish to show her gratitude for the kindness of the august head of the family, by assiduous attention in carrying out the duties which such a post would impose. But this letter was not answered, and Napoleon, on the contrary, told his sister-in-law that such a choice would displease him. The Queen on her side had far too much tact to wish to put her neck in such a yoke. She also knew that King Joseph would be very reluctant to give his consent. This consideration would have sufficed to hold the Queen back, even if she could have made up her mind to entrust the education of her daughters to a woman of admitted talents, no doubt, but who was totally unfitted for such a post by associations and prejudices which were incompatible with the new imperial government. To console Madame de Genlis for the Emperor\u2019s refusal, Queen Julia, with that feeling of goodness and generosity which characterized her, accorded her a pension of three thousand francs from her private purse. No allusion, as far as I know, to this act of kindness, is contained in the memoirs of the woman who benefited by it. (6)\nWhen Napoleon\u2019s son, the King of Rome, was born, Madame de Genlis composed a song for the baby.\nThe notes of this lullaby were represented by little roses, which had been delicately drawn and illuminated by her hand. This little composition altogether was carried out with the neatness and elegance which Madame de Genlis displayed in her manual work. (7)\nMadame de Genlis also established a correspondence with Napoleon\u2019s sister Elisa Bonaparte Baciocchi, Grand Duchess of Tuscany. Among other things, Elisa consulted Madame de Genlis on the choice of a governess for her daughter Napol\u00e9one. Madame de Genlis recommended her niece, Henriette de Sercey, Baroness de Finguerlin, who took up the post in early 1812 and held it until Napoleon\u2019s first abdication in 1814. Meanwhile, Madame de Genlis and Elisa kept up a regular correspondence. Madame de Genlis wrote and illustrated at least two instructive notebooks for young Napol\u00e9one. She also wrote a book for Elisa on court etiquette during the ancien r\u00e9gime, which Elisa used as a guide in administering her own court.\nWhen the Bourbons returned to power in 1814, Madame de Genlis offered her services to King Louis XVIII. In 1816, the Irish novelist Lady Morgan visited her and asked about the Napoleon letters.\nI had been told in Paris that Madame de Genlis had carried on a secret correspondence with the late emperor, which is another term for the higher walks of espionage. I ventured one day to talk to her on the subject; and she entered on it with great promptitude and frankness. \u2018Buonaparte,\u2019 she said, \u2018was extremely liberal to literary people \u2013 a pension of four thousand francs, per annum, was assigned to all authors and gens-de-lettres, whose circumstances admitted of their acceptance of such a gratuity. He gave me, however, six thousand, and a suite of apartments at the Arsenal. As I had never spoken to him, never had any intercourse with him whatever, I was struck with this liberality, and asked him what he expected I should do to merit it? When the question was put to Napoleon, he replied carelessly, \u2018Let Madame de Genlis write me a letter once a month.\u2019 As no subject was dictated, I chose literature, but I always abstained from politics. Madame de Genlis added that though she never had any interview with him, yet on her recommendation he had pensioned five indigent persons of literary talent. (8)\nMadame de Genlis continued to write right up until her death. In 1825, she published her memoirs. Dorothea Lieven expressed her opinion of them to Clemens von Metternich:\nMadame de Genlis\u2019s fourth volume is detestable. Her style is watery and feeble. It hasn\u2019t an idea in it; in short, she bores me. The first two volumes interested me in spite of their puerility, or possibly because of it; for they give one an idea of the careless happiness the French enjoyed before, and almost up to the very moment of their bloody revolution. (9)\nAfter living long enough to see her former pupil, the Duke of Orl\u00e9ans, become King Louis Philippe, Madame de Genlis died in her sleep on December 31, 1830 at the age of 84. Her remains were transferred to Paris\u2019s P\u00e8re Lachaise Cemetery in 1839.\nMadame de Genlis authored over 100 books, many of which are available for free on the Internet Archive.

It is well-known that Mme de Genlis wrote reports on society to inform Napoleon (although it is also said that he never read them!), but the rest of her life is usually never mentioned. I think she had very modern ideas on education, way ahead of a lot of other people of that time. A pity that she didn\u2019t have more influence to implement them.\nThanks, Irene. I agree \u2013 her approach to education sounds commonplace today, but was really something new at the time. Regarding her later years, you\u2019d probably enjoy Lady Morgan\u2019s full interview with Madame de Genlis, if you haven\u2019t already read it. See pages 358-361: https://books.google.ca/books?id=PTwUAAAAYAAJ.\nI have a small watercolour by her, of flowers (chaeronia) and a butterfly, inscribed \u201cpeinte par moi d\u2019apres nature\u201d and dated 1805. It is pretty, but not up to the standard of Charlotte Bonaparte as a teenager, I think.\nHow lovely, Geoffrey. I\u2019ve just been searching online to see if there are any examples of Madame de Genlis\u2019s paintings, but have not been able to find any.\nForrice says:\nI enjoy your historical knowledge.\nThank you, Forrice.\nThank you! We might have thought that being born into the nobility (albeit minor) would have worked for the children\u2019s advantage, but it would seem that sons were advantaged, not daughters. Stephanie\u2019s talents in music, literature, teaching and family formation did not seem to count very much.\nInteresting comparison with Madame de Sta\u00ebl.\nGlad you enjoyed the article, Hels. As talented as Madame de Genlis was, one wonders how far she would have got had she not had married into a wealthy and well-connected family (it was through them that she entered the Court circle). I haven\u2019t looked into it, but I wonder how she got along with Madame de Sta\u00ebl (not that well, I suspect).\nIt\u2019s me again! I should have pondered a bit before sending my last, as there is more interest in it than I realised. I think I have previously mentioned my gt.gt. grandmother Henriette Girard\u2018s album, which contains very early works by Charlotte and a fine drawing of the Campagna by Zenaide. These must have been acquired by Henriette in America, from one or both of the princesses. She must have got Madame de Genlis\u2019s w/c from them also, and they must have got it from Madame, which shows there had been social actual contact between Madame and Joseph\u2019s family, where she wanted to be governess. I do not know what other sources reveal about such contacts.\nI also note elsewhere on the net that Madame is supposed to have provided inspiration for Jane Austen, especially in\u201dEmma\u201d, but I think as a target for some gentle mockery.\nThat\u2019s interesting, Geoffrey. Actually, what originally drew my attention to Madame de Genlis was a remark in the catalogue from the exhibit of Charlotte\u2019s artwork (thanks again for pointing me to that), which suggested that Julie Bonaparte had turned to Madame de Genlis for guidance regarding her daughters\u2019 education. So it sounds like there was some contact between them. In Madame de Genlis\u2019s memoirs (which tend to be self-aggrandizing), she makes out that she was actually offered the post of governess to Joseph\u2019s daughters, but turned it down out of respect for the House of Orl\u00e9ans.\nGeoffrey, I was just reading through Madame de Genlis\u2019s letters to Elisa Bonaparte (see the new paragraph added to post). In one of them, dated 5 July 1812, Madame de Genlis refers to visiting the Queen of Spain (Julie Bonaparte) often at the Luxembourg Palace during the latter\u2019s illness, noting the anxiety it caused her because Julie was dear to her (Madame de Genlis\u2019s) heart. In another letter, Madame de Genlis refers to a story she wrote for Z\u00e9na\u00efde. These provide further evidence that your supposition about the social contact between Madame de Genlis and Joseph\u2019s family is well-founded.\nThanks for another fascinating article\nMy pleasure, Christoph. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for taking the time to comment.\nYou have so much knowledge of this topic and era. I am in awe. Thank you.\nThanks, Paula. That\u2019s very kind of you to say.\nHave only just seen your remarks of 15th and 19th January.\nIt\u2019s fascinating how history can be built up from tiny, but connected, facts.\nAnd it\u2019s so much fun to come across these tidbits.\nThanks for this article. I\u2019m joining the the conversation a bit late, but I was wondering, are Madame de Genlis\u2019s letters to Elisa Bonaparte published? Where might I find them?\nHi Marina, the letters were published by Paul Marmottan in the Revue des \u00c9tudes historiques, 1911.\nI had been told in Paris that Madame de Genlis had carried on a secret correspondence with the late emperor, which is another term for the higher walks of espionage.",

        "raw_content": "\u2190 Killer Instinct: Update\nIn September of 2000, Gryffin was on death row. I was just too na\u00efve to know it. When I met him at an Atlanta-area shelter, I saw only an adorable 12-week-old puppy awaiting a home. He was black and gold and as friendly and clumsy as most puppies, but compared with his littermates, he was remarkably calm. His paperwork revealed he was a Retriever/Chow mix; the shelter named him Rebel. He was irresistible. I called Kevin, who was then my fianc\u00e9, and pleaded my case \u2013 Rebel\u2019s case. The next day, Gryffin \u2013 the dog formerly known as Rebel \u2013 came home with me.\nGryffin using a sleeping Kevin as his pillow.\nBut what if we hadn\u2019t adopted him? What if no one had? Then Gryffin would likely be dead, because each year in Georgia, more than 80% of dogs and cats at county shelters are killed, an estimated 300,000 animals, at a cost to state taxpayers of $100 million. Pregnant dogs and cats are killed upon drop-off.\n\u201cAn epidemic is what it is,\u201d says Ginny Millner, one of the founders of Fix Georgia Pets, an organization tackling the crisis of pet overpopulation, and \u201ceuthanasia isn\u2019t the answer.\u201d\nFor those of us living in the Northeast and on the West Coast, spaying and neutering dogs is common. In fact, Nora Parker, at New Jersey\u2019s St. Hubert\u2019s Animal Welfare Center, says it\u2019s rare for dogs dropped off at its shelters not to be fixed.\nThat\u2019s not the case across much of the South, where attitudes about dogs reflect the region\u2019s rural and agrarian history. \u201cPeople thought of dogs as animals, not pets,\u201d says a good friend raised on a ten-acre farm in north Georgia. \u201cA pet is something you care for. It lives inside the house; it is a companion.\u201d Growing up, she says, people had \u201cyard dogs\u201d for protection. \u201cIf they didn\u2019t protect your house they weren\u2019t any good.\u201d Healthcare for a dog, including spaying and neutering, was unthinkable. \u201cPeople didn\u2019t have extra money to spend on their kids, forget their dogs,\u201d she says. So dogs lived outside the house, roaming freely, procreating at will.\nUnfortunately today, much remains the same throughout large swaths of the South, resulting in females birthing litters that give rise to more litters. The numbers are so great that the ASPCA reports that \u201careas of the south are overwhelmed with more dogs than loving homes.\u201d That\u2019s why several rescue groups in the Northeast pull dogs from southern shelters, usually just days before the dogs are scheduled to be killed.\nBut rescue isn\u2019t the solution, according to Ginny Millner, and no one in rescue disagrees. The term \u201cband-aid\u201d is bandied around a lot when talk turns to rescue. The solution \u2013 and the challenge \u2013 is getting dogs spayed and neutered.\nFix Georgia Pets, founded in March, is a non-profit organization devoted to raising awareness about responsible pet ownership and providing grants to clinics and organizations that provide low- and no-cost spay and neuter services to Georgia residents. Its goal: raise $5 million dollars to spay and neuter 100,000 animals in the next two years.\n\u201cIt\u2019s got to be done and it\u2019s got to be done soon,\u201d says Ginny Millner, \u201cbecause the more you wait, the more animals you have.\u201d And that means more animals living on deathrow.\nGryffin, about four months old: spoiled, happy and very much loved.\nGinny Millner hopes Fix Georgia Pets will be a model replicated throughout the South. To learn more, go to www.fixgeorgiapets.org.\nThis entry was posted in adoption, dogs, Georgia, Gryffin, spay/neuter. Bookmark the permalink.\n4 responses to \u201cThe Fix\u201d\nGryffin was adorable. He was so small!\nYou raise an important issue. I hope this blog will draw more much-needed attention to it.\nGryffin was quite the looker! People would stop us all the time to comment on his looks and ask us what breed he was. I\u2019d tell them he was pure mutt!\nThank goodness you rescued Gryffin! Just look at that face and those eyes!",

        "raw_content": "Founded in 1756 as a Moravian community, Lititz, a town of 10,000 in the Lancaster area, is known for its pretzels, its chocolate and, most recently, its 2013 ranking as \"America's Coolest Small Town\" by readers of Budget Travel. Lititz recently welcomed a $3-million expansion from Sechan Electronics, which designs and manufactures high-tech electronic assemblies and complex systems.\nPhoto courtesy of www.discoverlancasterpa.com\nThe Pennsylvania landscape is dotted with large opportunities.\nf you're not familiar with Chambersburg, New Castle or Sayre, Pa., or have somehow missed the turns for Indiana, Sunbury, East Stroudsburg or Meadville, you might need to readjust your navigation settings.\nThose are just a few of Pennsylvania's top-performing small town areas when it comes to attracting corporate facilities. Along with mid-size metro areas such as Lehigh Valley and Lancaster, they're shining proof that the Commonwealth's ample transport and work-force networks connect to plenty of opportunity for growth outside the big cities. In fact, just the communities named above have tallied nearly 100 projects since Jan. 2012.\nOlympic Steel is investing $11 million and hiring 90 more people in Chambersburg, where the Ohio-based company operates two plate processing operations on 26 acres. The facilities, first established by Olympic in 1999, have direct access to two rail lines and three Interstate highways (I-81, I-76 and I-70), allowing orders to be quickly processed and shipped. Olympic operates 29 facilities in North America.\n\"Our partnership with Olympic Steel will result in a significant investment and the retention of jobs in Franklin County,\" said Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett. \"I remain committed to creating a supportive business climate in Pennsylvania that encourages companies like Olympic Steel to continue investing and growing in the state.\"\nOlympic Steel is investing $11 million and hiring 90 more people in Chambersburg. \"Together with the Commonwealth, Olympic Steel is dedicated to advancing high-quality manufacturing jobs in America,\" said Michael Siegal (inset), chairman and CEO of Olympic Steel.\nPhotos courtesy of Olympic Steel\nThe firm considered expanding at its similar U.S. steel processing facilities, including two in Ohio. It ultimately selected Chambersburg to better serve East Coast customers, said the office of Gov. Corbett. The company received a $400,500 grant from the Pennsylvania Dept. of Community and Economic Development (DCED).\nIn April, Chambersburg got more good news, all the way from S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil. That's where Gov. Corbett announced that Wipro Infrastructure Engineering, a hydraulic cylinder manufacturer, will establish a new U.S.-based manufacturing facility in Chambersburg that will create 74 new jobs.\n\"As Pennsylvania's chief executive and salesman, I am working nationally and internationally to strengthen Pennsylvania's position in the global economy and to create new economic and job creation opportunities,\" said Gov. Corbett. \"Wipro, based in India with significant operations in South America, is a firsthand example of a global manufacturer that will call Pennsylvania home.\"\nTwelve Pennsylvania communities were among Site Selection's Top 100 Micropolitan areas for corporate facility projects in 2012, and three were in the Top 10 (red dots on the map), helping the Commonwealth place fourth in the nation in most top micropolitan areas.\nGov. Corbett announced the project at a roundtable discussion with Volvo Construction Equipment (CE), which Wipro serves as a major supplier. Volvo CE recently relocated its Americas headquarters to its Shippensburg, Pa., campus, which is the company's only production facility in North America. Volvo CE inaugurated the $100-million expansion on March 21. In addition to new wheel loader production, the project brings to Shippensburg a customer center and a technology center. The big move follows a $30-million expansion completed in 2010.\nBack in March, even as colder weather still lingered, DCED staff rang in the early spring predicted by Punxsutawney Phil anyway, touring Northeast Pennsylvania's Main Street projects and business incubators and exploring tourism destinations and manufacturing operations. Continuing an \"On the Road\" series launched last fall in Erie, they participated in more than 50 events.\n\"DCED On the Road is a result of my commitment to transform state government from a roadblock to a partner with the private sector,\" Corbett said. \"Working together, we can address the current needs of our businesses and partners to position Pennsylvania for long-term economic success.\"\nOne of those successes kicked off the journey, as Kovatch Mobile Equipment, a fire, emergency and commercial vehicle manufacturer which employs 600 at its headquarters campus in Nesquehoning, announced it plans to hire 100 new employees this year. The hires will support the Carbon County company's new product line \u2014 manufacturing water hauling tankers for police, fire and emergency services and the Marcellus Shale industry.\n\"When Governor Corbett formed the manufacturing advisory council to continue growing Pennsylvania's manufacturing tradition, he had companies like KME in mind,\" said DCED Secretary C. Alan Walker. The company received a funding offer from DCED through the Governor's Action Team (GAT), which worked with the Carbon County Economic Development Corp. to support KME's project.\nSaegertown, located just north of fellow micropolitan area Meadville near the Ohio state line, is welcoming a new $60-million, 74-job expansion investment from LORD Corp. The LORD plant is one of the key plants in the world that makes intermediate products shipped worldwide to supply the automotive industry. LORD, based in Cary, N.C., got its start in Erie in 1924. The company celebrated its 50th anniversary in Saegertown in August 2012.\nAfter multiple expansions and the relocation of the company's Americas headquarters to the site, Volvo Construction Equipment's campus in Shippensburg is now home to more than 1,000 employees from nearly 20 countries. \"This should serve as a very clear signal that Volvo CE is committed to this market and in a better position than ever before to offer our customers products that are made by Americans, for Americans,\" said Volvo CE President Pat Olney (left).\nThe Lancaster MSA, with 33 projects in 2012, placed fifth in Site Selection's ranking of Top Metros with populations between 200,000 and 1 million. The Economic Development Company of Lancaster County and its EDC Finance Corp. helped spur over $69 million in local investment in 2012, including a move into town from Flex-Cell Precision, a CNC machining house that makes enclosures for electronic communications for the military and for implantable medical devices. Anthony Fanning, president of Flex-Cell, says his 30-employee company invested $1.1 million in the real estate purchase and improvements to the site, helped by an SBA 504 loan.\n\"The City of Lancaster has been very helpful in getting us permitted and inspected,\" he says. \"The EDC was instrumental in getting the financing in place.\" A reduction in property taxes made the price right, \"and the location and building size were perfect,\" he says. \"It's a nice part of town and closer to most of our employees than the previous site.\"\nFor companies as concerned with quality of life as with quality of product, nice parts of nice towns are on the rise in Pennsylvania.\nPENNSYLVANIA: The Mighty Middle (Oct 1, 2015)\nCOLUMBUS OHIO: Start Me Up (May 14, 2015)",

        "title": "H&M is failing, and artificial intelligence can\u2019t save it.",
        "raw_content": "H&M Has a Plan to Save Itself\nA customer carries H&M clothing store bags on Jan. 9 in Miami Beach, Florida.\nH&M is good at making amazing frocks for the Met ball, but it\u2019s less good at making money: The company\u2019s profits for the first quarter of this year were down 69 percent, and it effectively ran out of cash in 2017. Cue the \u201cpivot\u201d headlines!\nThe latest pitch from the fast-fashion retailer, covered as a \u201cpivot\u201d in the Wall Street Journal earlier this week, uses lots of trendy buzzwords like A.I. and big data. The general idea is that by \u201cusing algorithms to analyze store receipts, returns and loyalty-card data,\u201d H&M will be able to \u201ctailor merchandise in each store to local tastes, rather than take a cookie-cutter approach.\u201d\nWhat the algorithms need to do is curate a store, and that is something they are not good at.\nStripped of its techno buzzwords, this is the old idea of localization, as laid out in a 2006 Harvard Business Review article by Vijay Vishwanath and Darrell K. Rigby. \u201cThe era of standardization is ending,\u201d they wrote. \u201cSmart retailers and consumer goods companies are starting to customize their offerings,\u201d as part of a broader move \u201cfrom standardization to localization.\u201d\nThis is a formula that can work. Look at Waterstones, in the U.K., a bookseller that faces just as much competition from Amazon as Barnes & Noble does in the U.S. But while B&N is struggling, Waterstones is thriving. The difference: B&N is trying to compete by offering wine and big windows; Waterstones, by contrast, brought in a dusty old-fashioned book guy, James Daunt, whose first order of business was to empower store managers and give them almost total freedom in terms of which books they displayed where. No two stores would look or feel the same; all of them would reflect local tastes and mores. In 2017, its profits soared 80 percent from the year before.\nUnfortunately for H&M, this sort of localization is very, very hard to automate. Computers are good at maximizing things: They can order more of what your customers want and less of what they don\u2019t want. But you don\u2019t need sophisticated A.I. algorithms for that. Any old point-of-sale software can tell you what\u2019s selling. What the algos need to do is curate a store, and that is something they are not good at.\nDaphne Howland, a contributing editor at Retail Dive, uses the example of a shopper who buys two jars of imported French honey every year\u2014honey almost no one else wants. If she\u2019s an important customer, or if the fact you stock that honey makes her love your store and keeps her coming back even when she isn\u2019t buying it, then it makes sense to keep on carrying that honey. That\u2019s the kind of decision that humans can make easily but that A.I. still finds very difficult.\nLocalization is a real thing and has been for as long as there have been shops: Shopkeepers know their customers and stock what those customers want. The difficulty comes when it\u2019s attempted by global chains like H&M that rely on huge economies of scale and the ability to distribute identical goods to thousands of stores around the world. The bigger that a chain becomes, the more its sales are going to be a function of its global brand, rather than its idiosyncratic local stock keeping decisions. A.I. is not going to change that.\nIn the long run, local retail, imbued with deep local knowledge, is actually very well placed to thrive in a connected digital economy. Despite the rise of Amazon, most shopping is local and always will be. And for all of big data\u2019s power, there\u2019s something deeply inefficient about companies like Amazon or Unilever shipping razor blades hundreds of miles to my door, when they\u2019re easily available at the drugstore across the street. This is why I\u2019m reasonably confident that in the not-too-distant future, we will all have apps to which we can just say \u201cdeliver me some ice,\u201d or \u201cshit, we\u2019re out of toothpaste,\u201d or even \u201cthere\u2019s no way I\u2019m walking out the door in my same clothes from last night\u201d\u2014and the nearest, most convenient source of whatever you\u2019re looking for will be able to get it delivered to you quickly.\nIn other words, local retail has the ability to disrupt Amazon more than Amazon has the ability to disrupt local retail. The \u201cretail apocalypse\u201d is not a function of Amazon, it\u2019s a function of America having built vastly more retail square footage per person than any other country in the world. In shopping malls, a lot of that retail is doomed. But in neighborhoods, retail will always be profitable at a reasonable rent. Which means that big chains like H&M\u2014or Sears, or Best Buy\u2014probably don\u2019t have too many pivots left in them.\nAmazon Artificial Intelligence Fashion Retail",

        "raw_content": "When children sleep well, so do their parents. Here's how to get the best sleep for both\nEvery parent is concerned for their family\u2019s well-being. In the chaotic and busy world that we live in, although we have the best intentions to contribute to our family\u2019s health and wellness, unfortunately, following through with these plans are difficult at times.\nOne aspect of a family\u2019s wellness that should not be compromised is healthy sleep. No matter which way you slice it, everyone needs a healthy amount of sleep in order to get through their day, honor their commitments and accomplish their goals.\nI use the term \u201chealthy sleep\u201d for a reason. There is a difference between healthy sleep and what we as child sleep consultants refer to as \u201cjunk sleep.\u201d\nJunk sleep is not beneficial to the sleep cycle and is not mentally or physically restorative. It occurs at times that are not in synchrony with our biological sleep rhythms. As a result, our moods are altered, relationships are compromised and it puts us at an overall risk to properly care for our family.\n\u201cThe more rested a child, the more they accept sleep and expect sleep.\u201d However, in order for this to occur, parents need to respect sleep. It is essential that children practice healthy sleep schedules because it positively contributes to their development, but it is just as important for parents to do the same.\nWhen children sleep well, so do their parents. Routines and scheduled bedtimes are just as beneficial to parents as they are to children. Getting an adequate amount of rest is a struggle for many adults but prioritizing your daily activities is one way to make sure you are home in time to get the rest you need.\nChildren who are not on controlled sleep schedules can develop major sleep problems. Behavior problems are likely to follow. \u201cPersistent sleeping problems in children have been linked to psychiatric symptoms in adolescents, hyperactivity in children, and depression in their mothers.\u201d\nThe long term effects of a healthy sleep routine implemented by parents of a newborn are essential to investing in that child\u2019s future. Healthy sleep has long term benefits, in addition to immediate ones.\nIt improves a child\u2019s mood, their temperament, and most importantly their cognitive development and performance. As parents, one of the steps we can take to making sure that our child will receive these benefits is to make sure that we are recognizing their signs of fatigue and soothing them to sleep promptly.\nThis all begins when parents are caring for their new born. A healthy sleep schedule and soothing routine are essential for every child to learn. When I was pregnant with my son, everyone was offering advice on many aspects of parenting, but for some reason no one was handing out the advice I could have really used which was how to teach my child to get the rest he deserved.\nWhen children are born, parents have so many concerns, worries, excitements and strategies for the raising of that child. Many parents, I included, focused on these other aspects and assumed that proper rest would just come naturally and that a healthy sleep routine would eventually fall into place. After my son was born, reality soon kicked in.\nHealthy sleep is taught by parents and learned by the child. Healthy sleep practices will continue down the road into that child\u2019s future. Children who are forced to \u201ccrash\u201d due to exhaustion and put in harsh and unproductive sleep environments will develop anxiety which will carry on down the road and will surround bedtime.\nBefore hiring a sleep consultant for my son, I had never heard this term used before. I knew that if I hadn\u2019t, then other parents haven\u2019t either. Parents must make sleep a priority and there is a right way to do so!\nMany times parents are so sleep deprived that they might not be thinking clearly and will do anything just to get their child to sleep. This is why I feel it is so important to go into parenthood with the knowledge and tools needed to create a healthy sleep schedule as well as a healthy sleep environment so that you are prepared when the time comes.\nUnfortunately many of these unhealthy and \u201cjunk sleep\u201d situations created by parents leave the child overtired and cranky.\nChild as well as adult sleep quality depends on not only the duration and consolidation of sleep but also the timing of sleep periods. Making sleep a priority is making an investment into your child\u2019s future health and wellness.\nIn order to do this, parents need to respect not only their children\u2019s need for sleep but also their own. Sleep duration and timing of sleep are both factors that contribute to alert and productive wakeful periods.\nSleep deprivation can have a negative effect of a person\u2019s outlook on life. This leads to depression because mood and temperament are being altered. \u201cSleep deprivation is as unhealthy as feeding a child a nutritionally deficient diet.\u201d ((Weissbluth, Marc. Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child: A Step-by-step Program for a Good Night\u2019s Sleep. New York: Ballantine Books, 2005)) In other words, the same way that junk food negatively affects our body; junk sleep negatively affects our brain.\nIn today\u2019s world, it is easy to get caught up in our daily activities and commitments and unfortunately our family\u2019s rest often gets put on the back burner. \u201cWhen you maintain a healthy nap schedule and your child sleeps well during the day, jealous friends will accuse you of being overprotective.\nThey\u2019ll say, \u201cIt\u2019s not real life\u201d or \u201cBring her along so she\u2019ll learn to play with other children\u201d or \u201cYou\u2019re really spoiling her.\u201d\nSuggestion: Change friends, or keep your baby\u2019s long naps a family secret.\u201d Every day, we as parents are making investments into our child\u2019s future, it is imperative that healthy sleep is one of them.",

        "raw_content": "On May 4 an important stage of negotiations has been held with representatives of Bittrex, during which all prospects and conditions for the listing of the token were discussed, and the further direction for work was determined. To implement the addition of RLT on the exchange, the founder of Bittrex Bill Shihara has provided us with the requirements necessary for execution. Due to the fact that the Bittrex administration is based in Nevada and operates under US legislation, the tokens listed on the exchange are subject to limitations connected with the prohibition of the distribution of dividends in ether.\nWe understand that listing on the exchange is high priority event, important for all holders of the token, therefore, basing on the recommendations of Bittrex, it is planned to change the dividend payment system with the distribution of dividends in RLT tokens, which will be purchased at the average weekly exchange rate and distributed after the purchase. Entry into the exchange will have a positive impact on the value of RLT allowing investors trading digital shares in pair with other currencies.\nTo receive feedback from the owners of the tokens SmartPlay.tech launches a three-day poll the participants of which will be able to express their opinion on the implementation of these changes and in case of disagreement vote against them. Owners of RLT tokens can confirm their disagreement by sending the minimum amount of transaction 0.0001 ETH to the address 0x144048309E703BfD7a04527e58644F87F5dDDBa7. If the investors and players whose total share of RLT is more than 50% of the amount participating in the ICO and testing the platform (about 2,100,000 RLT) vote against, the changes will be canceled and another option of the work the exchanges will be developed. Voting will last until 7 p.m GMT on May 11th, 2017.\nDetailed information on the changes\nAccording to the results of voting, 4 users voted against the changes, one of which has no tokens on the balance. Total share of these token holders comprises 0.007% of all the volume. Based on the results of the voting SmartPlay.tech announces the changes required for listing on Bittrex to be approved by the users. All the necessary operations to introduce the modifications are to be implemented by SmartPlay.tech in the nearest time.",

We have short-term and long-term opportunities, and we hope that you find something you\u2019d like to do!\nRead about our different volunteer opportunities. Due to the nature of our work, and the size of our operation, we mostly offer specific ways to volunteer. Most of our volunteer needs are long-term needs (come in regularly after a short period of training) or professional (teaching a class, making repairs to the mission property, etc.). If you don\u2019t see what you\u2019re looking for on our list, but have an idea of how you\u2019d like to help, let us know!\nCall to set up a time to come to the mission. Once you\u2019ve found a way you\u2019d like to help, give us a call and we can set up a tour of the mission, and talk about the details of your volunteering. This will give us the opportunity to give you the full details of each type of volunteer job, and set up training as needed. Call (919) 934-9257 to set up a time to visit.\nOngoing Volunteer Needs\nMany of our volunteer needs are ongoing, and include things like working in the office (answering phones, greeting visitors, etc.), teach a class in our New Life Program (life skills, professional skills, budgeting, health, etc.), transportation for our residents, and preparing a meal.\nYour small group, civic group, club or family/friend group can host what we call a team meal at the mission (most weekdays for lunch or nights for dinner).

        "title": "Florida Driver License Requirements for Mopeds and Motorized Bicycles",
        "raw_content": "Florida Driver License Requirements for Mopeds and Motorized Bicycles\nIn the practice of criminal defense in Florida, there are certain myths that an attorney routinely encounters in his or her dealings with clients and the general public. One common example concerns the requirement of a driver\u2019s license for the operation of so-called mopeds or motorized bicycles on Florida public highways. The myth is typically expressed as follows:\n\u201cEven if my driving privileges have been suspended or revoked, I can legally drive a moped or motorized bicycle on a public street or highway in Florida because neither is considered a \u201cmotor vehicle\u201d for purposes of the Florida driver\u2019s license statute.\u201d\nThe following article discusses the Florida statutes and case decisions governing the operation of mopeds and motorized bicycles without a valid driver\u2019s license. Contrary to the beliefs of many, these types of vehicles almost always require a valid driver\u2019s license to be lawfully operated on a Florida public street or highway.\nBackground: The Requirement of a Driver\u2019s License for a \u201cMotor Vehicle\u201d\nThe statutory provisions governing driver\u2019s licenses in Florida are contained in Chapter 322. Under Section 322.03, \u201ca person may not drive any motor vehicle upon a highway in this state unless such person has a valid driver\u2019s license\u2026\u201d Under 322.34, a person who drives a motor vehicle upon a highway while his or her driver\u2019s license has been canceled, suspended, or revoked, commits either a moving violation or a criminal traffic offense, depending on whether the person knew of their suspended or revoked status.\nWhat is a \u201cMotor Vehicle\u201d for Purposes of Chapter 322, Florida Statutes,\nThe definition of \u201cmotor vehicle\u201d for offenses committed under Chapter 322 is contained in Section 322.01(27), Florida Statutes. It provides as follows:\n\u201c[A]ny self-propelled vehicle, including a motor vehicle combination, not operated upon rails or guideway, excluding vehicles moved solely by human power, motorized wheelchairs, and motorized bicycles as defined in [Section] 316.003.\u201d\nAlthough the statute refers to Section 316.003 as the definition of \u201cmotorized bicycle,\u201d in actuality Section 316.003 merely defines the term \u201cbicycle\u201d and contains within that definition a description of \u201cmotorized bicycle.\u201d However, Florida courts have universally interpreted this description as the operative definition of \u201cmotorized bicycle\u201d for purposes of the licensing requirements of Chapter 322. Section 316.003(2) provides as follows:\n\u201c[E]very vehicle propelled solely by human power, and every motorized bicycle propelled by a combination of human power and an electric helper motor capable of propelling the vehicle at a speed of not more than 20 miles per hour on level ground\u2026 having two tandem wheels, and including any device generally recognized as a bicycle though equipped with two front or two rear wheels.\u201d\nThus, unless the vehicle in question is propelled by a combination of human power and an electric helper motor, and unless that vehicle travels at speeds not in excess of twenty miles per hour on level ground, the vehicle does not qualify as a \u201cmotorized bicycle.\u201d If the vehicle does not qualify as a motorized bicycle within the meaning of the statute, then it requires a valid Florida driver\u2019s license, even it resembles what would commonly be thought of as a motorized bicycle.\nFlorida Case Law: \u201cMopeds\u201d\nFlorida courts have specifically addressed the requirement of driver\u2019s license in the context of a so-called \u201cmoped\u201d operated on public highway. In State v. Meister, 849 So. 2d 1127 (Fla. 4th DCA 2003), the defendant was charged under Section 322.34 for driving on a suspended license while operating a moped. The moped in question had a displacement of less than 50 cc, did not exceed two horsepower, and had pedals to permit propulsion by human power so as to supplement the gasoline engine. The defendant moved to dismiss the charges, arguing that the \u201cmoped\u201d was not a motor vehicle for purposes of Section 316.003(21), Florida Statutes.\nOn appeal, the Florida Fourth District Court of Appeal held that a moped was a \u201cmotor vehicle\u201d for purposes of charges brought under Chapter 322. Using the definition of motor vehicle contained in Section 322.01(27), the court concluded that a moped was a self-propelled vehicle and was in no way excluded from the definition of motor vehicle for purposes of the Florida driver\u2019s license statute. Thus, regardless of how the term moped was defined for purposes of Chapter 316 (pertaining to traffic control), the operative definition for driver\u2019s license requirements was that contained in Section 322.01. The Court furthermore rejected the argument that the differing definition of \u201cmotor vehicle\u201d in Chapter 316 rendered Section 322.34 unconstitutionally vague or ambiguous.\nLike the Fourth District decision Meister, other Florida courts have rejected the argument that a gasoline moped is excluded from the definition of \u201cMotor Vehicle\u201d so as not to require a driver\u2019s license. See Wood v. State, 717 So. 2d 617 (Fla. 1st DCA 1998) (holding that a moped is a \u201cmotor vehicle\u201d which requires a driver\u2019s license for operation under 322.34); Jones v. State, 721 So. 2d 320 (Fla. 2d DCA 1998) (holding that a valid driver\u2019s license is required for the operation of a \u201cmoped\u201d under 322.34(2)).\nFlorida Case Law: Electric \u201cScooters\u201d\nFlorida courts have further rejected the argument that an electric scooter is not a \u201cmotor vehicle\u201d in the context of a charge brought under Section 322.34, Florida Statutes (driving on a suspended or revoked license). In Inman v. State, 916 So. 2d 59 (Fla. 2d DCA 2005), the defendant was cited for driving on a suspended or revoked driver\u2019s license while driving a seated, two-wheeled, battery powered electric scooter on a public street. The scooter did not have pedals and thus was powered exclusively by its electric motor. The defendant moved to dismiss the charge, arguing that a scooter with an electric motor was not a \u201cmotor vehicle\u201d as defined in Chapter 322.\nOn appeal, the Second District Court of Appeal of Florida held that, because the defendant\u2019s vehicle did not operate by a combination of an electric motor and human pedaling, the vehicle fell outside of the definition of motorized bicycle as contained in Section 322.01(27). Thus, the defendant could be properly convicted of driving on a suspended or revoked license, even if his electric scooter had many of the key attributes of a motorized bicycle.\nFlorida Law in a Nutshell: Mopeds and \u201cMotorized Bicycles\u201d\nChapter 322, Florida Statutes, requires the operator of a \u201cmotor vehicle\u201d on a highway of the state to have a valid license. As defined under that chapter, \u201cMotor vehicle\u201d is anything that is self-propelled, but does not include bicycles and qualifying \u201cmotorized bicycles.\u201d As defined in Section 316.003, \u201cMotorized bicycle\u201d means that the bicycle is not capable of self-propulsion, but is propelled instead by a combination of human power and an electric helper motor at a speed of not more than 20 miles per hour on level ground.\nIn interpreting this definition, Florida appellate courts across the State have taken the view that the law means exactly what it says. Thus, if it is a \u201cmoped\u201d powered by gasoline, it requires a license. If the vehicle is powered exclusively by battery, it requires a license. If the propulsion for the vehicle does not derive from a combination human and electric power, then it requires a license. Only those vehicles falling within the narrow exception provided in Section 322.01(27)(referring to Section 316.003) are exempt from the requirement of a driver\u2019s license.",

        "raw_content": "Culture of The Vietnam War How did the Culture of War affect American life?\nValues/Beliefs during the war\nMany American's were opposed to the War. This was highly due to the Draft. The Draft occurred when the United States Military needed more soldiers. So, at the age of 18, by law, men would have to formally declare for The Draft which would pick and choose 18 year old men at random to come serve for the Military. Also, many people didn't like the concept of war. They didn't want bloodshed and wanted peaceful protests to be practiced instead of violence.\nMedic attends to a wounded United States soldier\nFlower placed within the names of those who lost their lives in fight for our country\nTactics During the war\nTactics during The Vietnam War was based around the concept of Guerrilla Warfare. Troops would sit and ambush each other, use raids, booby traps, sabotage, and hit-run tactics. All of these different tactics were used by many different armies.\nPhoto of a gorilla. Not a guerrilla.\nHomefront During the war\nWhile all the men had left for war, protests began to flare because American's were not in support of the war. Many women had to start to go to work now and work the jobs that men used to obtain. This created lots of tension because most American citizens did not support the war, and they were losing one source of their families income. Due to the men leaving, and the source of income also leaving, women had to provide for the family and make money.\nPicture of the front of a home.\nMusic during the war\nIn past wars and hardships within American history, the songs were in support of wars and were positive to help bring American's together. In Vietnam, those past traditions were no longer used by Americans. During The Vietnam War, many songs were created that were anti-war rather than pro-war. This made the American public fight against the war and made the American public not in support of the war unlike previous times.\nMan standing with vintage piano\nPropaganda during the war\nDuring The Vietnam War, the Domino Theory was the first use of propaganda used by the United States Government towards the American public. The Domino Theory was a propaganda experiment that the Government told the American people. It stated that if we don't place troops in South Vietnam, then Vietnam could fall to communism, which would in turn lead to Australia, Japan, New Zealand, and the rest of the world until it was time to attack the United States and spread communism into the United States. This \"Domino Theory\" is better understood by the term \"Slippery Slope.\" One small tiny thing could have a reaction that leads to a huge problem.\nType of Propaganda. (just and example of what propaganda looks like)\nProtests during the war\nThere were many protests during The Vietnam War. Many Americans protested the war because of the draft. They didn't want to have their loved ones (18 year old and older men) be drafted to go fight in the war. When people started getting drafted for the war, many Americans started protesting. Imagine losing your loved ones and having the thought in the back of you head that they may never come back. All because of a war that you never supported. That thought would haunt many for the rest of their lives, so they protested in a anti-war demeanor.\nMedia During the war\nMedia during The Vietnam War is said to have contributed to the negative opinions about the war. The media had a negative reporting style which led the American public to not support the war even more than they already did. The media also televised the war and families would sit down and watch the war while at dinner, which is very strange to think about nowadays.\nEconomics during the war\nThe Economy took hits during The Vietnam War and the requirements of the war strained production capacities of corporations. With men being gone, production quotas were already hard to meet, but now corporations and factories were told to stop producing and making their own products and to start producing products for the war. Also, how much the government was spending on the war caused major problems within the economy. The War caused the economy to fall.\nGovernment/foreign policy during the war\nThe government spent so much money on the war that it sent the economy into an economic downswing. The government also used many \"scare tactics\" and \"excuses\" to tell the American public that made it sound like the war was a good thing for America to submerge themselves in. The United States supported the South Vietnamese, and we were focused on supporting them and providing social support.\nThe draft during the war\nThe Draft during the Vietnam War was when the government made most every 18 year old male and up, by law, enter their name to be selected at random to come serve for the United States Military. The Draft was against public opinion because many families didn't want their loved ones, or young 18 year old men going off and fighting in the war. They didn't want this because there was always a chance that those 18 year olds may never come back. The Draft was the reason the American public was not in support for the war in the first place.\nFamily Roles during the war\nFamily Roles were shifted dramatically during the war. Since all the men had left for the war, it was the women's job to cook, clean, and provide for the family. The women had to step up big time during this time period so the family would survive and not die due to starvation. Women wore the pants in the family over this time period.\nMom coming home from work with the \"bread\" aka \"breadwinner\"\nMom cooking some food\nRe-integration into society\nThe re-integration of men into society was difficult. All the men wanted their jobs back, but the women had already been working them and had already become good at those jobs, and they didn't want to give them back. This caused lots of feuds because the men had just went to war to protect the freedoms, and they come back to a stolen job. Many men were out of work when they arrived back from the war.\nAction shot of soldier hopping out of a helicopter\nPurpose during the war\nThe purpose for the United States to get involved in the war was to keep allies and to give support for the South Vietnamese and South Korean's. Also, The United States was worried that the Communist struck North Vietnamese and North Korea would begin taking over different Countries and spreading Communism to each of those Countries. Eventually, The United States feared an invasion of Communism into our society. The purpose for the war was to stop Communism from spreading.\nSoldier march through the marshes\nRace equality during the war\nThe United States involvement in Vietnam coincided with The Civil Rights Movement. While African-American's were just started to gain their freedoms and rights, the Vietnam war was starting to begin. Not only were African-American's discriminated against in society, they were also discriminated against in the military. But, the strong civil rights movement that had begun was too much to keep the military segregated. The Vietnam War was the first race integrated conflict. That means that the Vietnam War was the first time Black and White's had fought for something together.\nCreated with images by WikiImages - \"viet nam war soldier young\" \u2022 FotoshopTofs - \"military vietnam war us soldier wounded\" \u2022 expertinfantry - \"Vietnam War\" \u2022 angela n. - \"San Francisco Zoo\" \u2022 MsSaraKelly - \"Blue Homefront\" \u2022 obBilder - \"e guitar instrument music\" \u2022 Trondheim byarkiv - \"Norges f\u00f8rste flygel (1966)\" \u2022 Ian D - \"Propaganda\" \u2022 manhhai - \"Vietnam War - Fall of Saigon - B\u00e0 Ki\u1ec1u M\u1ed9ng Thu, d\u00e2n bi\u1ec3u H\u1ea1 vi\u1ec7n, c\u00f9ng v\u1edbi c\u00e1c d\u00e2n bi\u1ec3u, ngh\u1ecb s\u0129 thu\u1ed9c phe \u0111\u1ed1i l\u1eadp bi\u1ec3u t\u00ecnh ng\u1ed3i ch\u1ed1ng ch\u00ednh ph\u1ee7\" \u2022 manhhai - \"Vietnam War - Fall of Saigon\" \u2022 FlanellKamerasFilm - \"nikon nikon f camera\" \u2022 bigblockbobber - \"camera lens photographer\" \u2022 frankieleon - \"Got something to say?\" \u2022 DaveFirth - \"vehicle military amphibian\" \u2022 F1Digitals - \"money cash 500\" \u2022 Freeimages9 - \"thai isolated debt\" \u2022 Arcaion - \"the fence crash barrier boulevard\" \u2022 manhhai - \"Vietnam War 1966\" \u2022 manhhai - \"Vietnam war 1972\" \u2022 cambodia4kidsorg - \"Mom\" \u2022 cambodia4kidsorg - \"Mom\" \u2022 manhhai - \"1972 South Vietnamese Soldier Paratrooper Marches to Quang Tri\" \u2022 WikimediaImages - \"bell uh-1 helicopter iroquois\" \u2022 manhhai - \"Vietnam War 1962 - Crossing Water\" \u2022 WikiImages - \"child soldiers war china\"",

        "raw_content": "Industrial production up 7.2 percent y-o-y in April 2016\nThe industrial production went up 7.2 percent year-on-year in April 2016.\nIllustrative stock photo(Source: SITA)\nThis development was influenced by a y-o-y rise in manufacturing of 8.5 percent and by drops in mining and quarrying of 9.1 percent and in electricity, gas, steam and air-conditioning supplies by 1.5 percent, the Slovak Statistics Office informed on June 10.\nTotal industrial production was affected by growth in the following sectors: the production of investment means \u2013 14.1 percent; the production of products of long-term durability \u2013 13.5 percent; the production for the consumption of inputs \u2013 4.7 percent; and the production of products of short-term durability \u2013 2.8 percent.\nConversely, the production related to power engineering dropped by 8.4 percent for the same period.\nSeasonally adjusted industrial output went up by 3 percent month-on-month in April. In the first four months of 2016, meanwhile, industrial output increased by 3.5 percent y-o-y. This was due to the following y-o-y increases: in manufacturing \u2013 4 percent; and in electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supplies \u2013 1.3 percent. Output in mining and quarrying fell by 8.7 percent.\nLooking at the structure of growth, the growth of electro-technical industry drew attention (21.2 percent y-o-y) which returned to a two-digit growth after two weaker months, Tatra Banka analyst Boris Fojt\u00edk wrote. In the growth dynamics, the biggest powerhouse, the automotive industry, lagged behind only slightly \u2013 with a production higher in 18.8 percent y-o-y, it made up more than two thirds of the whole industrial production. Also, metallurgy and engineering marked a solid growth, around 9 percent. The biggest slump was marked in April by oil products\u2019 producers, by more than 40 percent y-o-y. This sector has the potential to have mild growth in the second half of 2016, depending on foreign demand.\nThe indicator of economic sentiment in industry has been above average for several months, according to Fojt\u00edk.\nJust like foreign trade, the industry also improved markedly against weaker March figures, macro-economic analyst of the UniCredit bank \u013dubom\u00edr Kor\u0161\u0148\u00e1k commented. Although the automotive production stagnated, or even slightly decreased in April, it remained the main force in the Slovak economy in y-o-y comparison, being behind almost \u00be of y-o-y growth of the whole industry.\nApart from the electro-technical industry, the pharmaceutical branch also grew strongly, in 12 percent month-on-month, although still 5 percent less than in the same period of last year. But the chemical industry, except for the pharmacy sector, was declining in yearly terms. Apart from oil products, producers of rubber, plastics and constructions materials also recorded weaker results in the long term.\nThe outlook of Slovak industry could be further helped by a relatively stable recovery of European economies supported by cheap crude oil and loosened monetary policy, according to Kor\u0161\u0148\u00e1k. The sentiment remains prevailingly positive, although expectations of future growth are being slightly reduced.",

        "raw_content": "How To Take A Conservative Investing Approach\nTo most people, becoming a conservative investor means picking the most risk-averse asset classes and investments. The goal of this practice is to guarantee that your principal investment \u2013 the money you initially invest in your portfolio \u2013 will be safe in the long run. However, by simply picking investments that appear to be conservative \u2013 for example, picking investments from typically \u201cless risky\u201d industries \u2013 some investors are likely to miss the mark on creating a truly conservative investment style. Instead, it is essential to not only understand what a conservative investment is, but to research all potential investments to make sure that they meet the necessary characteristics to qualify as conservative investments. For this reason, we have laid out a few of the most important qualifications of true conservative businesses below:\n1. Low Cost of Production\nThis is a very important element of a business that can help to make a company low-risk. If a company can produce at a very low cost, it might mean that, even in a very bad year for the industry or the company itself, the business may still be able to make a profit. For investors, a business\u2019 ability to make a profit is very telling for stock returns, as successful companies \u2013 or companies that generally turn profits \u2013 are more likely to continue to succeed into the future.\n2. Strong Research and Marketing\nCompanies are less risky if they have the ability to stay up-to-date with recent trends. Thus, companies that are very good at research, development, and marketing will be lower risk because they will have the ability to transform along with consumer demand. Of course, if consumers like a company\u2019s products and the company is being held in a favorable light in the news, that will reflect back onto investors.\n3. Financial Skill\nThis qualification is fairly obvious, but companies strive to maximize their returns on their invested capital, as well as minimize their total costs. Thus, a company that understands its own financials and the industry that it operates in will be better able to turn profits and find business success, making it a generally less risky investment overall.\n4. Strong Management Teams\nThe whole is equal to the sum of the parts. That means that if a company has strong managers who move to incentivize other workers, the company will likely demonstrate higher total quality. For this reason, it is typically believed that if companies that have strong management teams or cohesive employees, they are likely to carry less risk as potential investment opportunities.\n5. Clear Advantage/Disadvantage Analysis\nFinally, in determining if a company would make a good conservative investment, it might be wise for investors to conduct an overall analysis of the advantages and disadvantages that the company may come across in its industry. Consider elements such as competition, key resources, and primary skills that might differentiate the company from those around it. By going through this analysis, investors may be able to highlight important factors that might cause a company to be riskier in the future \u2013 which will indicate that the company is not the most conservative investment choice. However, if investors find few or no such characteristics, they will know that the investment creates a strong potential opportunity to add to their portfolios in the future.\nUltimately, by looking at these characteristics, it is important to realize that not all big businesses simply fit into the classification of being \u201cconservative investments.\u201d Further, after going through this analysis, investors might be better prepared to take on a truly conservative investment strategy if they so choose.",

Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech\nComet C/2013 UQ4 (Catalina) has been observed by NASA\u2019s Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (NEOWISE) spacecraft just one day after passing through its closest approach to the sun. The comet glows brightly in infrared wavelengths, with a dust tail streaking more than 62,000 miles (100,000 kilometers) across the sky. Its spectacular activity is driven by the vaporization of ice that has been preserved from the time of planet formation 4.5 billion years ago.\n\u201cThe tail forms a faint fan as the smaller dust particles are more easily pushed away from the sun by the radiation pressure of the sunlight,\u201d said James Bauer, researcher at NASA\u2019s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.\nC/2013 UQ4 takes more than 450 years to orbit the sun once and spends most of its time far away at very low temperatures. Its orbit is also retrograde, which means that the comet moves around the sun in the opposite direction to the planets and asteroids.\nComet C/2013 UQ4 (Catalina) first looked like an asteroid when NASA\u2019s NEOWISE team first observed it on December 31, 2013. These exposures were taken that day, when the comet was at a distance of about 2.9 AU from the sun. Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech\nThe comet was originally thought to be an asteroid, as it appeared inactive when discovered by the Catalina Sky Survey on October 23, 2013. NEOWISE also observed the comet to be inactive on New Year\u2019s Eve, 2013, but since then the comet has become highly active, allowing astronomers around the world to observe it. The comet\u2019s activity should decline as it once again returns to the cold recesses of space.\nNASA\u2019s Jet Propulsion Laboratory manages the NEOWISE mission for NASA\u2019s Science Mission Directorate in Washington. The Space Dynamics Laboratory in Logan, Utah, built the science instrument. Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. of Boulder, Colo., built the spacecraft. Science operations and data processing take place at the Infrared Processing and Analysis Center at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.

The purpose of this study was to examine differences in food choices between 4th-, 8th-, and 11th-grade students. The results provide information that can be used to tailor behavioral-based nutritional programs for children.\nWe determined food consumption patterns using validated data from the School Physical Activity and Nutrition survey; the survey is used as part of a surveillance program of public school students conducted by the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston in partnership with the Texas Department of State Health Services. The sample included a total of 15,173 children in grades 4 (6235), 8 (5362), and 11 (3576). Multistage probability sampling weights were used. Odds ratios were computed controlling for sex, body mass index, and race and ethnicity, and cross-sectional patterns were determined using multivariate logistic regression.\nChildren in grades 8 and 11 were more likely to consume hamburger and other meats, cheese, breads, buns, and rolls, and sweet rolls compared with 4th-grade students. In contrast, 4th-grade students were more likely to consume peanuts or peanut butter, yogurt, cereal, fruit, and milk compared with 8th- and 11th-grade students. Eighth- and eleventh-grade students were more likely to consume snacks than 4th-grade students.\nUsing cross-sectional data to assess differences in dietary intake and meal patterns by grade can provide readily accessible information to develop a needs assessment or intervention materials for children and adolescents.

Perhaps there are many \u201cJewish communities\u201d\nUp until this point we have worked with the assumption that when the High Court rules erroneously and that decision is acted upon by the majority of the Jewish community, the High Court will be obligated to bring a sin offering on behalf of the community, but the individuals will be free of the obligation to do so. The Mishnah on today\u2019s daf (=page) explains that this understanding follows the opinion of Rabbi Me\u2019ir. There are other positions on the matter, however. According to Rabbi Yehudah, it is not the court that brings the sacrifice, but the community, so that twelve sin offerings must be brought \u2013 one by each of the twelve tribes. Rabbi Shimon says that thirteen sacrifices must be brought \u2013 one by each of the twelve tribes and an additional one by the High Court who made the erroneous ruling.\nThe Gemara asks how Rabbi Yehudah and Rabbi Shimon derive that each tribe is considered to be a kahal \u2013 a community \u2013 in itself, which obligates them in individual community sin offerings.\nOne suggestion is that the source is a passage in Sefer Divrei ha-Yamim II, or Chronicles II (20:5) that refers to King Yehoshafat standing in the midst of kahal Yehudah \u2013 the community of the tribe of Yehudah \u2013 in Jerusalem. Although only a single tribe was there, nevertheless they were called a kahal. The Gemara rejects this source, arguing that Jerusalem cannot be brought as a proof, since the tribe of Binyamin was there, as well. Rav Aha bar Ya\u2019akov suggests another source, pointing out that the patriarch Ya\u2019akov refers to a promise made by God to grant him a kahal (see Bereshit 48:4, as well as 35:11) and only a single child, Binyamin, was yet to be born.\nWith regard to the situation in Jerusalem, following King Solomon\u2019s reign during the first Temple period, the monarchy in Israel was divided between the Davidic house in Southern Israel \u2013 the kingdom of Judea \u2013 and the Northern Kingdom \u2013 Israel \u2013 that underwent constant political upheaval and was ruled by a number of successive families. The Southern Kingdom was comprised of two tribes, Binyamin and Yehudah, and the city of Jerusalem, which was originally mainly the territory of the tribe of Binyamin, served as the religious and political capital of these two united tribes.\nHorayot 6a-b - Errors made by the High Priest\nThe same set of passages in Sefer Vayikra that teach about the unique responsibilities of the High Court when ruling on issues that\u2026\nHorayot 4a-b - Judicial leadership\nAs we have seen our Gemara is deliberating the conditions necessary for the High Court's ruling to be accepted so that when\u2026",

Read my comment on Sorina Higgins\u2019 site to see why I think so and listen to the discussion by clicking this link.\nThis past Monday, Signum University hosted a Signum Symposium roundtable discussion celebrating the release of The Inklings and King Arthur. You can watch the recording of the event here:\nPromo for the Book:\nWill King Arthur ever return to England? He already has.\nIn the midst of war-torn Britain, King Arthur returned in the writings of the Oxford Inklings. Learn how J. R. R. Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and Owen Barfield brought hope to their times and our own in their Arthurian literature. Although studies of the \u201cOxford Inklings\u201d abound, astonishingly enough, none has yet examined their great body of Arthurian work. Yet each of these major writers tackled serious and relevant questions about government, gender, violence, imperialism, secularism, and spirituality through their stories of the Quest for the Holy Grail.\nThis rigorous and sophisticated volume of studies does so for the first time.

        "raw_content": "Title: Child Support Guidelines\nThe Child Support Guidelines are the rules used to calculate how much child support a parent pays to help support their child financially.\nThe Guidelines include amounts of monthly child support that are based on the income of the parent who is paying support and the number of children they have to support. There is a separate table with amounts for each province. The table amounts cover expenses like clothes, food, and basic school supplies.\nThe Guidelines also include special or extraordinary expenses that may be paid in addition to the table amounts.\nTitle: Children\u2019s Aid Society\nThe Children\u2019s Aid Society (CAS) has a legal duty to make sure that children are protected from harm. The government has given them this job. In some places in Ontario, CAS is called Child and Family Services.\nTitle: citizenship test\nMost people who apply to become Canadian citizens have to show that they have enough knowledge of Canada and what it means to be a Canadian citizen. They usually do this by passing a written test that's called the citizenship test.\nTitle: civil court\nA civil court deals with non-criminal matters, such as when a person sues someone else.\nTitle: civil forfeiture\nCivil forfeiture is a process in civil court where a judge decides on a balance of probabilities whether or not the police have to return items that they took from you. The judge will decide that the police can keep the items, if it\u2019s \u201cmore likely than not\u201d that the item was:\nbought with money made from a crime, or\nused to commit a crime.\nTitle: claim number\nA claim number is the unique number that the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) gives to each injury you report. It\u2019s on the first letter that you get from the WSIB and all other WSIB documents about your injury.\nTitle: Claimant\nA claimant is somebody who is getting or claiming EI benefits.\nTitle: clearance letter\nWhen you apply for a job or volunteer position, you might be asked for a criminal record check. Instead of a criminal record check, you may be able to get a clearance letter from your local police.\nA clearance letter confirms that as of the date of the letter, you don\u2019t have any:\ncriminal cases that are being dealt with in court\nTitle: closing statement\nAt the end of your trial, you get a chance to briefly tell the judge why you should get the court order you're asking for. This is called a closing statement. Your closing statement should be based on:\nwhat you or other witnesses said\nthe documents used as evidence\nfamily law rules and laws\nYou cannot talk about any new information that wasn\u2019t used as evidence in the trial.\nTitle: co-accused\nThe co-accused are other people who are charged on an information with you. They may or may not be charged with the same offences as you. But their charges are related to yours. Their charges and yours likely involve the same incident.",

We stopped in Chemult at a Pilot Truck stop to get a Subway sandwich. As we are getting ready to ride again, up pulls Ethan\u2019s nana and great aunt! They were on their way back from Bend to Shady Cove and stopped for gas. I think that was fun for Ethan.\nWe stopped at the turn off to the 138 at a little motel/market to get something to drink- it was hot. The lady took us out front and showed us the thermometer; it read 106\u2032! We knew it was hot, but didn\u2019t realize how hot.\nWe continued about 9 more miles up the hill and headed off on a fire road to dry camp for the night. Found a spot\u2026and mosquito central. We set up camp, had a quick dinner of Mac-n-cheese, then retreated to our tents for the night. There were plenty of big black ants and hover flies around as well.\nThis morning, we wrapped up camp, beat a hasty retreat from the bugs and ate a cold breakfast about a mile up the road.\nToday was a spectacular day. We climbed up to 7600\u2032 and onto the rim road around Crater Lake. Crater Lake is a caldera lake located in the south-central region of the U.S. state of Oregon. It is the main feature of Crater Lake National Park and famous for its deep blue color and water clarity. The lake partly fills a nearly 2,148-foot deep caldera that was formed by the collapse of the volcano Mount Mazama. Human interaction is traceable back to the indigenous Native Americans witnessing the eruption of Mount Mazama. There are no rivers flowing into or out of the lake; the evaporation is compensated for by rain and snowfall at a rate such that the total amount of water is replaced every 250 years. At 1,943 feet (592 meters), it is the deepest lake in the United States, and the seventh deepest in the world.\nWe got some great shots as we circled part of the rim. Then we bombed down the south side of the mountain, joining the Rogue River and coasting through thick forest.\nA great few days that deserves a shower; so we got a room at the historic Prospect Hotel. It is a historic building built in 1888 by Albion H. Boothby. It was a stagecoach inn for travelers to Crater Lake. Guests have included Jack London, Theodore Roosevelt,Zane Grey, John Muir, and William Jennings Bryan.\nOther highlights of the day: crossed the Pacific Crest Trail three times; stopped at the Rogue River Gorge and saw some intense whitewater; met a fellow cyclist doing the Sierra Cascades Route from south to north. RW was his name and a great shout out to Yucaipa Bike Center and Mike who he said was the most helpful bike shop on the route so far. It was a kick that he remembered the details of town, where he ate, camping at the regional park, and the big climb up to Big Bear.",

        "raw_content": "Business Presentation Articles Presentations, Pitches & Pictures\nI coach entrepreneurs and business people who have to pitch and present their ideas on a regular basis. For the longest time, the presentations were always full of bullet points and text, so much so that it was like reading a textbook rather than seeing a presentation. With the encouragement of writers like Seth Godin, Guy Kawasaki and Oren Klaff, I am seeing more pictures and visuals, and less text.\nEvocative Images\nWhat is it about a picture that makes it so powerful? It is partly because the picture will go directly to the visual cortex, without interpretation, evoking an emotional feeling and awakening previous memories. As an example, if you had a dog or own a dog, and you see a picture of the dog of the same breed, you can barely help yourself in your emotional reaction. I have noticed people saying \u201cah so\u201d \u2013 and they don\u2019t mean to, it\u2019s just that the picture elicits the emotional reaction. If you can find a visual that supports your point of view that happens to also elicit an emotional reaction, you are influencing the person watching you present.\nFor example; I\u2019m raising funds for the Red Cross. If I have a picture of a disaster area with children in it \u2013 it will elicit a reaction of empathy, sympathy and perhaps the listener will be moved to make a contribution in some way or another \u2013 usually this kind of appeal is asking for funds. In a more direct business sense if you\u2019re offering a service that saves time and money, you might want to find yourself a visual that has time and money incorporated, not the words but in a visual sense, perhaps a stopwatch laying on the top of dollar bills. I have had people tell me that this sometimes is very corny. Yes it is, and it works.\nDigital storytelling is always more effective with pictures \u2013 whether they simply illustrate the story (see the video story below), or are crafted to convey specific information, such as you might see in infographics.\nIf I wanted to show that an event was going to impact people in a positive and friendly way, it makes sense to show crowds or groups of people having fun, being friendly, and having happy expressions. In fact, we did this when we were presenting to the Winter Olympic Committee. We showed happy people on the streets of Vancouver and Whistler, enjoying winter fun.\nThe Pictures Illustrate The Story\nDoes this mean that you can just put up a bunch of pictures that represent what you want to talk about or what you want people to buy or to invest in? No, you still have to write a good presentation, develop a storyline, select the right visuals to go with your storyline and to support your position, and rehearse, rehearse\u2026\nI\u2019ve had some people say that this is outright manipulation of the audience. Yes. What you\u2019re trying to do is to persuade them, to involve them, to have them say yes to your proposal.\nDon\u2019t be afraid to admit that you are in sales, everyone is in sales all the time. One of the best examples that I can think of to learn how to use pictures, graphics and a storyline in making a pitch (or giving a great presentation) is to watch advertising done on television. Some of the best are the Super Bowl ads, which are often saved and judged. You can learn a lot from breaking them down into their storyline, how the visual supports the storyline and the script. These are little daunting because often they have Oscar-winning actors delivering the pitch, and in the real world it\u2019s just you and your pictures.\nI guess you get the point that it\u2019s not just about pictures, it is also about all the other steps that go with it. But pictures make a huge difference, they can impact your audience in a profound way, emotionally involving them in everything to do with your presentation of course if you\u2019re lousy at giving a presentation you still won\u2019t get it or win the bid!",

        "raw_content": "October 19, 2017 January 9, 2018 suffolkldgi\nSuffolk nursery provision in \u201ccrisis\u201d as Conservatives vote against childcare motion\nCouncillors have warned that nursery provision in Suffolk is in crisis, and have raised serious questions over the amount of funding that childcare providers receive from Suffolk County Council.\nSpeaking in support of a Labour motion at the Council meeting on 19 October 2017, Cllr Elfrede Brambley-Crawshaw (LDGI Group Spokesperson for Children\u2019s Services and Education) stated:\n\u201cI am a passionate supporter of 30 hour childcare for working families. But the way this policy has been rolled out by the government threatens all pre-school child provision in our communities. Most providers I have spoken to are struggling to give quality childcare on the \u00a33.87 per hour they receive from Suffolk County Council. Many are not able to offer the full 30 hours because of this, and consequently parents are not receiving the childcare they are supposedly entitled to.\nThe whole system simply does not work and, unless funding for childcare providers increases dramatically, we will soon be facing a crisis in Suffolk.\u201d\nThe motion called on the Council to commit to passing on 100% of the funding received directly to childcare providers. Unfortunately, nearly all Conservative councillors decided to vote against the motion, denying these providers the financial support they so desperately need.\nCurrently, childcare providers in Suffolk receive only \u00a33.87 per hour, which many say simply isn\u2019t enough to fund the quality childcare that they provide. However, since working parents are entitled to 30 hours of \u201cfree\u201d childcare, providers are not able to make up the shortfall in funding from anywhere else. As a result, many are facing huge uncertainty over the future viability of their businesses, and we could soon find ourselves in a situation where there simply aren\u2019t enough nursery places in Suffolk.\nTo make matters worse, Suffolk County Council currently retains 6.3% (approximately \u00a32m) of the funding provided by central government. Whilst this is within the 7% limit permitted by the Department for Education, the LDGI Group questioned whether it was the right thing to do given the financial pressures providers are facing.\nThere is an unacceptable lack of transparency on what this \u00a32m will be spent on. If Suffolk County Council insist on keeping this level of funding when childcare providers are so clearly struggling to keep their businesses afloat, the least they could do is provide some clarity on how it is being spent.\nThe full text of Labour\u2019s motion read as follows:\n\u201cThis Council welcomes the extension of state provision of childcare from 15 to 30 hours and will do everything it can to ensure that all parents, carers and providers who qualify can access this much-needed support, but notes\nThat the level of funding provided by central government does not cover the full cost of provision and is likely to lead to a further reduction in the number of childcare providers;\nThat the reduction in the number of providers will lead to a decrease in the life chances of Suffolk\u2019s children thereby increasing the costs of local authority intervention at primary school; and\nThat because many providers are choosing not to deliver the free 30 hours many parents in Suffolk will be unable to access the support promised.\nTherefore, this Council will\nLobby government to change the Early Years National Funding Formula to make it fairer to providers and parents;\nPass the full hourly rate that this Council currently receives from government to childcare providers;\nEnsure that all parents have access to the full 30 hours regardless of their location in Suffolk.\u201d\nCategories Childcare, Uncategorized\nPrevious Win for rural families as Scrutiny Committee rejects school transport decision\nNext Council\u2019s spending forecast for 2017/18 paints a worrying picture",

This review details its advantages over generic brands of the supplement:\nResearched. Dozens of studies have affirmed the various health benefits of AC-11.\nPatented. As many as 6 patents cover the formulation and manufacturing process behind AC-11.\nPurified. AC-11 supplements are standardized to at least 8% carboxyl alkyl esters through a proprietary purification technique.\nHow AC-11 Works\nAC-11 Patents\nAC-11 preparation\nAC-11 for health benefits in mammals\nAC-11 Nutritional Supplement Uses\nAC-11 Advantages\nAC-11 Research\nAC-11 Dosage\nC-11 is a patented, branded extract of the plant Uncaria tomentosa, which is a woody vine that is native to the rainforests of South and Central America. The plant is highly valued in herbalism and Ayurvedic medicine for its high stores of bioactive compounds associated with health and well-being:\nOxindole alkaloids: Pentacyclic oxindoles are believed to support the immune system, and tetracyclic oxindoles can influence the central nervous system.\nQuinic acid: The compound may have neuroprotective effects.\nCarboxyl alkyl esters: These complex molecular chains have been shown to support cognition.\nApplied sciences company Optigenex has developed a proprietary manufacturing technique that uses aqueous hot water extraction to create AC-11, formerly known as C-MED 100. The supplement is purified and standardized to at least 8% carboxy alkyl esters and a minimal amount of alkaloids.\nWith this unique composition, AC-11 is primed to improve various aspects of health, ranging from maintaining soft and supple skin to lowering oxidative stress.\nC-11 offers a variety of health benefits that function through several distinct mechanisms:\nProtecting enzymes responsible for repairing DNA strands that have been exposed to excess amounts of stress.\nBoosting the production of collagen type III.\nRegulating inflammation in the body by stabilizing levels of inflammatory compound NF-kB.\nIncreasing the lifespan of lymphocytes, or white blood cells, thus enhancing immunity\nDid you know? The primary source of AC-11, Uncaria tomentosa, is commonly referred to as cat\u2019s claw for its claw-shaped thorns.\nUncaria climbing vine. Image by Vangeliq.petrova [GFDL or CC BY-SA 4.0-3.0-2.5-2.0-1.0], via Wikimedia Commons\nU.S. patent 6039949 covers the preparation of AC-11 through a method involving the hot water extraction of bioactive ingredients from the Uncaria plant. This is followed by a purification process that eliminates toxic compounds such as polysacharrides and tannins from the extract.\nThe final AC-11 composition has a low molecular weight, mostly consisting of carboxy alkyl esters with a minimal percentage of steroids and alkaloids.\n-11 brand is also protected by five additional U.S. patents 6238675, 6361805, 6964784, 7579023, and 7595064. Collectively, these patents affirm that the supplement maintains a high degree of anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and immune-stimulatory properties that may help improve health in warm-blooded animals. These positive effects have also been corroborated on studies on human cell cultures.\nResearch has shown that AC-11 has synergistic effects with a wide range of supplements, from vitamins and minerals such as vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin B6 to nootropics such as kava kava root and inositol.\nAC-11 Nu\nic Supplements\nThe high concentration of purified carboxyl alkyl esters and quinic acid in AC-11 make it a likely nootropic, with potential to protect brain cells and improve cognition. Early animal studies have even pointed to the supplement\u2019s capacity to combat memory loss. However, clinical research has yet to confirm such outcomes.\nImmune S\ne invention of AC-11, researchers have predominantly centered on demonstrating its ability to support the repair of DNA molecules. This effect has a pronounced effect on the immune system and may bolster immunity.\nSkin Hea\nion, AC-11\u2019s DNA repair capabilities have been associated with maintaining healthy skin. The DNA-repair pathway can boost the natural production of collagen III \u2014 a high quantity of which is essential for keeping skin soft and supple.\nJoint Heal\ndownstream benefit of taking AC-11 may be improvements to joint health. Studies have shown that AC-11 is able to help normalize the expression of a key compound, NF-kB, responsible for stabilizing inflammation in the body. A steady ratio of inflammatory to anti-inflammatory markers can help minimize the consequences of oxidative stress on joints, especially in people with rheumatoid arthritis.\nAC-11 Advant\non to generic cat\u2019s claw supplements, AC-11 offers several advantages:\nResearch: Multiple animal and cell culture studies have shown that AC-11 has a beneficial effect on the body\u2019s natural DNA repair process \u2014 ultimately promoting healthy skin, immunity, and brain function.\nPatented: Unlike most other cat\u2019s claw supplements, AC-11 consists of a patented formulation of ingredients extracted from the plant. Optigenex uses its proprietary molecular sieving technology to isolate and concentrate the optimal amount of carboxyl alkyl esters for supplementation.\nSafety: The production of AC-11 conforms to the strict specifications established by government standardization claims. Each batch must pass industry-accepted tests in the U.S. and various other countries around the world to guarantee the supplement\u2019s safe use in humans. Furthermore, AC-11 manufacturing follows Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) standards, and is made in an ISO 9002-certified facility in Brazil known as Centroflora Group.\nStandardization: Unlike generic cat\u2019s claw supplements, AC-11 is standardized to a minimum of 8% carboxyl alkyl esters, with a low content of alkaloids (<0.05%).\nEthical harvesting: Optigenex also works alongside the Floravida Institutes in Brazil to ensure biodiversity conservation, environmental education, and social inclusion for the local community. Harvesting is conducted under the authority of the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (IBAMA) in order to minimize damage to the natural environment.\ne Research\nNumerous studies have demonstrated the various health benefits of AC-11 in animals and cell cultures, particularly for promoting healthy brain function, immunity, and DNA repair. A selection of studies is detailed below.\nAC-11 may protect brain cells against oxidative stress\nThis study examined the effect of AC-11 on DNA repair and immune function. AC-11 displayed a keen ability to scavenge free radicals and decrease the level of lipid peroxidation, thus diminishing the harm dealt to cells by oxidative stress. Notably, the influence of AC-11 on brain cells suggested its potential to have therapeutic usefulness against neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinson\u2019s.\nThe researchers concluded that \u201cAC-11 could dose dependently protect 6-OHDA induced cell damage by increasing cell viability.\u201d1\nAC-11 may increase the lifespan of immune cells\nThis study examined the extent to which AC-11 boosted immunity in mice. Compared with the control, AC-11 helped boost immunity by extending the survival of immune cells (i.e., B cells, T cell, NK cells, and lymphocytes). The supplement significantly prolonged the lifecycle of lymphocytes, thus accelerating the recovery of people with leukopenia, or low levels of white blood cells.\nThe researchers concluded that AC-11 may serve as \u201ca potential agent for clinically accelerating the recovery of patients from leukopenia.\u201d2\nAC-11 may stimulate the production of white blood cells\nThis study examined the extend to which AC-11 could stimulate the proliferation of lymphocytes in rats. The rats that took AC-11 had statistically significant increases in white blood cells compared with those that took the control, suggesting improvements in immunity. The same group performed a similar pilot study in humans, which is outlined below.\nThe researchers concluded that \u201cwhite blood cells from the AC-11 treatment groups \u2026 were significantly elevated compared with controls.\u201d3\nbeginning to investigate the extent to which the health benefits of AC-11 in animal studies applies to humans. An early study, led by one of the inventors of AC-11, demonstrated its efficacy in humans.\nAC-11 (250, 350 mg) may enhance DNA repair\nIn this randomized controlled pilot study, 12 participants took a control, 250 mg of AC-11, or 350 mg of AC-11 every day for 8 weeks. Laboratory blood tests did not uncover any statistically significant differences among the groups in terms of physiology. However, DNA tests did reveal that the AC-11 groups had progressively improved levels of DNA repair at increasing doses.\nThe researchers concluded that \u201csupplementation at doses of 250 mg/day or 350 mg/day, the subjects statistically significantly increased the DNA repair capacity.\u201d4\nAC-11 may be able to improve DNA repair in humans.\nials conducted have used either 250 mg or 350 mg of AC-11 per day.\nTypical supplements come in a daily serving size of 350 mg, though several suppliers offer doses as high as 700 mg.\nAC-11 is available in a variety of forms, but is most commonly taken as a capsule or applied to the skin as a spray.\nSupplements in Re\n\u2013 350 mg.\nAC-11 is the premier cat\u2019s claw extract. AC-11 may provide support for multiple processes in the body, including cognition, immunity, and skin maintenance. Based on current research, the supplement seems to be best geared for use as a nootropic. More clinical trials concerning the overall potency of AC-11 in humans is needed.\nStart with a dose of 250 mg of AC-11. We recommend taking 250 mg of an AC-11 pill or capsule as a nootropic. Liquid and cream forms of AC-11 may be better suited for topical skincare.\nShi Z, et al.

We lived together, we shared pieces of each other, we hurt each other. We grew and learned and then went our separate ways.\nSweetie, you need to let it GO. I left you 11 years ago now (Doesn't time fly?). I understand that you're going through some trying times now, and you want to reconnect with all your exes, maybe it's a 12-step-program thing, but just listen to me, okay?\nI know you don't want me back. You just want me to lend you money to spend on your new sweet thing. And while I feel for her, I really do, I just can't be that enabler. Times are tough all over hon, and though I still do love you, AS A FRIEND, I can't just hand you money to blow off on some little coed. It's not good for either of us. And I have to watch my finances now as well. Yeah. No, it's personal. No, we stopped being \"personal\" a decade ago, hon.\nI've moved on. I've grown. I've learned four martial arts styles, gotten my motorcycle license, moved out of state, gotten married, and become the writer of a somewhat famous comic strip. I'm not the same person I was when I left you, and I'd wager you're not the same either. If nothing else, I'm hoping you had that horrible growth on your rear (Segundo Dormitorius) removed at some point. I just want the best for you, sweetie.\nThat said... you need to stop calling me every night. Seriously. I told you 2 months ago that I was laid off, due to my job being moved to Buenos Aires, and I am on a limited budget now. You said you understood. But now you're drunk-dialing me every night at dinner asking me to come back or at least loan you something until payday. Dude, NO. I will NOT be your enabler. We are OVER. I wish you all the best in the future but I will not be a part of it, okay? JUST LET IT GO.\nAnd this is Texas, dear.

        "raw_content": "Whoever is the originator of that meme about making money on Facebook by logging off and getting a [expletive] job is the laughing stock of many individuals and companies who are indeed making money using social media. That person could very well have since learned about the many ways through which people in the know do in fact make money on the likes of Facebook and other social media, but their ignorance will forever live on on the internet as somewhere, somehow, somebody has saved a screenshot of that meme.\nThis swiftly brings into focus the fundamentals of how social media influencers stay relevant online and these are the individuals we\u2019ll be focussing on as our case study of people who make money with social media.\nSocial media influencer isn\u2019t an official title one can earn by going through some course or acquiring some or other marketing qualifications. A social media influencer is basically someone who decides to become one (at least that\u2019s how it happens these days) by building up a big following on social media platforms through the content they constantly produce. Sometimes it\u2019s not even a matter of producing original content, but rather just producing content which trends and gets your followers to take note of it and ideally interact with it.\nThis is when brands come knocking with their products or services and they offer to reward you as an influencer to gain access to your following. It\u2019s purely a marketing tactic and so far it has proven to be a very effective one, particularly in the case of well-known influencers who were already famous prior to their use of social media to spread the word about their sponsors.\nThere isn\u2019t some sort of industry standard which dictates how much one should get paid for a specific brand to gain exposure among that influencer\u2019s following or indeed how they should get paid. It\u2019s all about the perceived value of your following and I guess your negotiation skills.\nIf you\u2019re into handbags for example you might perhaps want some monetary remuneration in addition to the free handbag a certain brand sponsors you with on condition that you show it off to your following in some clever way. So there are cash deals, product sponsorships and many other ways of offering remuneration for social media \u201cinfluence\u201d.\nGetting it right as a social media influencer is somewhat of a hit-and-miss game with many successful influencers enjoying that success as a result of already boasting a big following which they bring into their social media platforms. Yes, there are indeed some successful influencers who made it their mission to become social media influencers, but it\u2019s somewhat of a full-time job in its own right.\nYou have to constantly engage the social media platform and your audience by extension, which means sometimes there\u2019ll be content you share which appears to be a bit superficial. Many influencers find themselves leading what are very fake lives to say the least about that, while others get affected more than others by the high levels of criticism one naturally opens themselves up to by going the route of trying to be a social media influencer.\nIt can be a very lucrative revenue channel, nevertheless.",

        "raw_content": "Chinese team breaks record for largest virtual universe\nCredit: chinadaily.com.cn\n(TechXplore)\u2014A team of researchers with the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing has announced that it has broken a record set just last month by a team at the University of Zurich in Switzerland\u2014they have created the largest-ever virtual universe. An announcement regarding the record breaking feat, was made via Science and Technology Daily, an official Chinese newspaper.\nSince the advent of computers, space scientists have attempted to use them to create a virtual, or simulated universe. The idea is that if the universe can be simulated, it can be better studied because it can be observed over manipulated time from its birth to today. The problem with simulating the universe, of course, is that it is made up of so much stuff. Such simulations are known in the field as N-body simulations, because they become more intense as more particles are added. During the early years of such efforts, in the 1970s, computers could only handle on the order of a thousand particles. That number increased to the trillions over the past few years as computers have grown ever more powerful. The researchers with this new effort used the most powerful computer available in the world today, the Sunway TaihuLight supercomputer, built by China and based in Wuxi.\nOfficials with the project told the press that the team had simulated the universe from birth to early expansions (approximately ten million years after the Big Bang) over the course of one hour and that the effort involved 10 trillion digital particles. The result was a virtual universe five times as big as the one created by the team in Switzerland just last month.\nThe supercomputer gets its speed by utilizing millions of CPU cores\u2014each able to carry out instructions independently. During the creation of the virtual universe, the team was able to make use of 10 million cores, which they described \"as lots of calculations.\"\nThe researchers also reported that because of the unique architecture of the Sunway TaihuLight, the team had to write almost all of the software for the project from scratch\u2014a very labor-intensive task. They also noted that the supercomputer encountered no problems and that the simulation was terminated after just an hour because another team had booked time on the computer.\nCitation: Chinese team breaks record for largest virtual universe (2017, August 2) retrieved 15 February 2019 from https://techxplore.com/news/2017-08-chinese-team-largest-virtual-universe.html\nA unique data center for cosmological simulations\nIs it real?

        "title": "The scientific method",
        "raw_content": "The now-exposed hoax and fraud of man-made global warming has shown that the scientific method was replaced with politics by a lot of people who should have know better. So what is meant by the \u201cscientific method?\u201d Well, one thing it means all the time and everywhere is that the data be made available to others so they can test the hypothesis to reproduce the results that were claimed. That the global warming proponents hid the data to prevent honest peer review of their hypothesis was a sure sign that the scientific method was not being followed.\nHere is what the scientific method is, or is supposed to be:\n1. The scientific method is a complex, variable, human process which differs in detail from scientist to scientist, and from discovery to discovery. However it may differ in detail or application from time to time it must always involve a cycle of observation, synthesis, hypothesis and prediction.\na. The first step in most scientific studies is the collection of data, including observations, measurement, and experiments.\nb. The second step is the recognition of patterns\u2013 the search for symmetries. Most scientists have a deeply held belief that there are regularities and patterns in the physical universe.\ni. Sometimes this step involves recognizing similarities among seemingly different phenomena, such as different forms of electricity.\nii. Sometimes this step is a mathematical synthesis, fitting disparate data into one type of equation, such as Kepler\u2019s discovery of elliptical planetary orbits.\nc. Once a pattern is found, the scientist will propose a possible explanation in the form of a hypothesis.\nd. A scientific hypothesis, theory, or law must lead to unambiguous and testable predictions, requiring a new round of observations. Consequently, a scientific theory can always be disproved by an unfulfilled prediction, but it can never be completely proved.\ne. At the center of this idealized cycle there is always a paradigm\u2014 a prevailing system of expectations about the natural world. The classic book on scientific paradigms, how they change, and the resistance to every paradigm change, is The Structure of Scientific Revolutions by Thomas Kuhn.\n2. The scientific method is rarely followed as an exact cycle. Human imagination, intuition, and chance are vital elements of the process.\na. The example of Dmitri Mendeleev and the periodic table of elements exemplifies the scientific method.\nb. Often an anomaly leads to new insights.\ni. When anomalies are found that violate well-tested theories and laws, it usually means that the old theory or law is a valid special case of a more general law.\nii. An everyday example is provided by the \u201chypothesis\u201d that all objects fall under the force of gravity. The anomaly of a helium-filled balloon leads to deeper understanding, i.e., if an object is lighter than the air it displaces it will rise rather than fall.\nc. The scientific method is an elegant process for learning about the natural world, but it is neither intuitive nor obvious.\nWhen the Earth stopped warming in 1997 and underwent a period of cooling that appears to be continuing today, this was a failure of a major prediction by the global warming proponents. Instead of a new round of data collection followed by a new hypothesis, the proponents merely changed the name of their pet theory from global warming to climate change and did their damnedest to hide the data and demonize other scientists who questioned their methods and conclusions. Michael Mann\u2019s Hockey Stick Trick is an example. See, The Hockey Stick Illusion, Climategate and the Corruption of Science. Of course, that was not good science and it turns out, it was not good politics either.\nThinking about science and the sort of reasoning good science demands, here is something to ponder: Seven Fallacies of Thought and Reason: Common Errors in Reasoning and Argument from Pseudoscience.\nThis book was first published in 1841 and has been continuously in print since then: Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds\n\u2190 Glenn Greenwald Weighs In on New York Governor Andrew Cuomo\nMan made catastrophic climate change theory is based on Lysenkoism \u2192",

        "raw_content": "I grew up in a little town in Mexico. We had a big house with a big yard. There were lots of flowers and trees. There were dogs and cats and a big space for running with my brothers and sisters and friends.\nMy family had mango trees, and the little purple ones? Plums! And oranges, limes, guava, bananas, the common fruits. Also corn, pumpkins and peanuts. Oh, there was a big garden with things for salad too.\nOur farm was like a garden.\nMy father had a cow, and my mother makes cheese and fresh sour cream. There were donkeys and horses. I miss taking the donkeys to the field to help row out the corn? \u2013to plow the rows for corn.\nI married in Mexico and my husband, he brings me to the U.S. It was so different than I imagined. I lived in the city, in Chicago? When I am first here, I live in a small apartment. Very small. Very dark. Everything seems different than my home in Mexico.\nI didn\u2019t eat meat when I first came here. It tasted so different! Not fresh like at home. It looks different. It smells different. I couldn\u2019t eat it! Cheese and milk taste different too. I didn\u2019t like it! Now, it\u2019s better. Now I think it tastes ok. But when I first come? No, I didn\u2019t like it so much.\nMy husband helped me feel better. He teaches me many things. He taught me to drive. In Mexico, I did not drive! When I first came here, he taught me the names of the streets and pointed to the signs so I could know where I am. He wants me to learn and go to school.\nSometimes I miss my little town. I feel very happy then, with my mom, dad, three sisters and three brothers, on the farm over the seasons\u2026everything always changing.\nEverything always changing.\nPrevious Post Poland\nNext Post Ireland\nVery pretty. Chicago really takes us far from nature sometimes and it\u2019s difficult to find it.",

        "title": "Personalized Medicine: 10 Requirements for Pharma Supply Chain - Tenthpin Management Consultants",
        "raw_content": "Blog Personalized Medicine: 10 Requirements for Pharma Supply Chain\nWe all heard the announcements in Fall 2017, that the FDA had approved several CAR-T Cell therapies for human use. These two therapies, Novartis Kymriah and Kite Pharma\u00b4s Yescarta are the first, real personalized medicine and are a huge milestone for the industry and more therapies will follow. We cannot even imagine, what these announcements meant for the patients and their loved ones. But what does it mean for those companies' supply chain who are or will soon be offering CAR-T Cell therapy?\nChallenges in the supply chain which have to be addressed during CAR-T Cell therapy\nCurrently, once a new medicine was approved, it could rely on the traditional validated environment, while moving to the stage of commercialization. Only the manufacturer set-up for the facility and production took part. As a result, the existing supply chain could be re-used to distribute the medicine through the existing distribution channels. Maybe a little adjustment was needed. And now?\nWith the new advanced therapies, we face completely new challenges. These challenges greatly affect the integrated supply chain under the aspect of commercialization stage of the cell therapies.\nCell and Gene Therapies have a distinct business model compared with traditional therapies having a short shelf life, and as a result require complete new production facilities, development of scalable processes and different supply chain logistics\nRequiring an increase of highly skilled labor to scale up autologous manufacturing as current personalized medicine manufacturing technologies require mostly manual labor in opposite to traditional pharma manufacturing\nEvolving manufacturing, process and production characteristics as the process are fine-tuned with new insights\nEvolving ATMP FDA/EU Guidelines (ATMP = Advanced Therapy Medical Products)\nExpensive & labor-intensive processes resulting in high cost of small batch productions resulting in high cost of manual operations and a high cost of QC testing.\nMedical Care Provider\nOnce the appointment with the patient is scheduled and confirmed at the Apheresis centre the planning for following steps will be executed.\nSpecialized Courier\nThe patients T-Cells will be tested, and if passed, they will be shipped to the manufacturing site, while the cells will be kept at predefined temperature.\nThe manufacturing process will contain the enrichment, activation, transduction and expansion/freezing of the cells. The critical parameters of the intermediate materials are monitored.\nLot release testing serves as the final confirmation of the product quality before release the product for commercial use.\nThe new cells are then repackaged and will be send back to the patient's hospital or treatment centers, while the cells will be kept at/in the predefined temperature zone.\nAt the hospital, specially trained staff prepare the cells for infusion into the patients. Perfecting the timing for the last step has proven to be a big concern for the supply chain.\nSupply Chain Requirements for personalized medicine\nThe supply chain must be carefully set up to meet the requirements/challenges since this process is time critical (for some treatments less than 20 days from aphaeresis to re-infusion):\nImproved patient experience by digitilizing the supply chain and information provided to the patient.\nPatient-specific visit scheduling and monitor for infusion extraction.\nUnderstanding the patient\u2019s material or medication status and the location at any given time. Real-time tracking and controlling with a chain of custody and chain of identity is required.\nHow to set up the chain of identity to track down the therapy back to the original donor.\nManufacturing operation including integration with Level 3 systems, e.g. MES, LIMS\nAccelerated quality control and release based on deviations\nSeamless and Real-Time integration with 3rd party systems. Integration of Cell orchestration Platforms, the patient management system, MES, LIMS, or the courier system to track the position and condition (temperature, humidity etc.) of the patient`s cells to harness data for real-time reporting.\nFinancial management to consider the financial requirements for billing, asset management, and human resource considerations.\nBeside detailed scheduling for the required resources, determining the fastest controlled way of transporting the patient\u2019s cells, together with the scheduling of the patient's visits becomes challenging.\nIntegrate a solution to automate the process to reduce the manual intervention as much as possible.\nThe path of advanced therapies like CAR-T and similar personalized treatments present unique challenges to the life science industry. These challenges require a whole new end-to-end capability, from a system, data, process and organizational perspective.\nToday, there are no standard processes and solutions available when it comes to cell therapies. Getting the architecture right is key, we can assist you. We do have the insights and technical know-how to make it happen with you. Our consultants all have a unique \u2018Tenthpin\u2019 DNA: tech-savvy with a deep understanding of the intricacies of the Life Sciences industry.\nWe are investing in SAP S/4HANA as a core to our integrated solution for personalized medicine, as we see great potential in SAP S/4HANA and the built-in functionalities, in SAP R/3 or SAP ECC.\nExisting Best of Breed solutions are not delivering an End-To-End integrated solution. These solutions will increase the maintenance cost in the long-term, due to the requirement of connecting different solutions.\nTags:ATMP, Autologous manufacturing, Cell Therapy, Personalized Medicine",

Jacob started running cross country for Austin his sophomore year when he moved from Nebraska and he told me it was a big adjustment because he had to start fresh and start over in a new town. But he said Cross Country eased the adjustment because everybody was friendly and easy to be friends with and he said \u201cIt felt like they welcomed me into their family with open hands\u201d. When I asked Jacob on how he thinks the season is going to go this year he said the team looks good and they have a good chance on qualifying for state and for him he said that\u2019s his biggest goal because it\u2019s his first year with the varsity squad. Jacob said that he and his team felt confident going in the meet because they been doing well in the past meets. He also said that the Owatonna meet is a challenging meet because they have a lot of good runners and it\u2019s going to be challenging but he said it\u2019s also going to be a fun experience. I asked Jacob how their meet in Owatonna went and he said they did well as a team and good for individuals. The Austin Boys\u2019 Cross Country team took fourth place and the Austin girls finished sixth at the 12-team Ev Berg Invite in Owatonna, Tuesday. Meti Omod took fourth for the Austin Packer boys. Also Henry Hinchcliffe in the same race placed seventh. Abby Lewis took sixth for the Austin girls.

Being able to connect the two worlds as one is my life path and passion. It\u2019s a part of me and has been for many years now as I have been in the industry for over a decade. I am the messenger for Spirit with the information I receive and forward to you. It is a great honor to have that privilege. I endeavor with each Reading for it to be an uplifting, experience in many ways.\nWith my Mediumship Readings I have direct link to your loved ones in Spirit. At the commencement of the Reading I will ask you: Without telling me is there someone you wish to connect with? That is enough in most cases for your loved one to step forward and communicate with me using my senses as, I see, hear, feel and know. You could say it\u2019s a bit like charades. It\u2019s then up to me as the Medium to relay the information to you. I work from the heart and will receive as much information and validation of your loved one from their personality, life and other information along with messages that they are still very much around you.\nPsychic Readings are a completely different from Mediumship it is about seeing into the future, I use two methods. One is the use of Tarot Cards which is a Psychic Tool which I conduct a 6 month spread I will relay what I see in the cards, and you will have time to ask questions, as I prefer to know nothing about you. The other method I use in a Psychic Reading is the information is passed from your guide. Before we were born into this world your guide was assigned to you to guide you on your life path, as we\u2019re all on a contract. As humans we doubt ourselves with our intuition steering more to our logical mind with life choices holding ourselves back. Intuition is about trusting and letting go of the fear of the unknown and failure. I will relay information from your guide that can assist you in the future with choices and decisions, but remember you always have free will. We have many lifetimes, we come here to learn and it\u2019s from the experiences we get this information for our soul to evolve. That's one of the reasons I call myself a Spiritual Psychic/Medium as I walk the talk of what I tell my clients of trusting you intuition. I live my life following my intuition with every decision that I make. I fully embrace and trust my intuition and live my life in the present that I and can honestly say I have never lived such an enriched life until I did.\nI read at the Crystal Shop from 2009 to 2014 before moving to the Wagga Wagga, and opening my own center reading and teaching for 4 years. I have now gone full circle returning closer to Sydney and honored to be asked back to Read in 2019.\nI am available for half hour readings in either Psychic or Mediumship on Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday from 10am - 2:30pm. Bookings can be made on-line or by call The Crystal Shop 02 4655 3703",

        "raw_content": "New Review: The Opiates: Billie Ray Martin returns!\nCazz Blase 6 December 2011\nWith a career spanning over 25 years, Hamburg-born singer, DJ and label owner Billie Ray Martin is a woman with an impressive history in both dance and soul music. Holly Combe salutes her return\nHailed as the \u201cice queen of electronic soul\u201d and a \u201crestless creative spirit\u201d in music magazine The Wire, Billie Ray Martin has outgrown the electronic chanteuse tag others have dubbed her with by retaining control over her style and persona. A perfectionist who has said she \u201cwould change many things, too many too mention,\u201d Billie Ray\u2019s shows have been described as theatrical events that interact with the audience and indicate she is \u201cnever satisfied with the easy option\u201d.\nEmphasising a background in soul as well as electronic music, Billie Ray began her career when she led a Motown-inspired band Billie and the Deep in Berlin during the mid 1980s. After this, she moved to London where she advertised herself in Melody Maker as a \u201cSoul rebel searching for a genius\u201d. This led to the birth of the synth-funk act Electribe 101. Following their split, she went on to collaborate with Spooky and The Grid in 1993, and then compose, produce and arrange her first solo album, Deadline for my Memories, released in 1995.\nLater she co-founded the label Sonnenstahl Records through which she released her second album, 18 Carat Garbage. This purely concentrated on the soulful end of Bille Ray\u2019s talents (previously seen in Deadline\u2018s \u2018I Try\u2019) and saw her digressing from the 4/4 beats and working with renowned Memphis stars such as Carla Thomas and Ann Peebles before returning her attentions to the dancefloor again.\nFast forward through several solo ventures and collaborations to 2011 and Billie Ray is engaged in her latest project, The Opiates, with critically acclaimed Norwegian electronic music composer Robert Solheim. Robert\u2019s work has appeared on the ambient techno label Origo Sound and he started releasing it on his own label, CURRENTMUSIK, in 2005. He has recently shifted from more downtempo styles to music geared towards clubs and dance-floors. This is an area where Billie Ray is arguably at her best, so their meeting of minds over the past few years seems fitting.",

Conservative colleagues keep trying to cage same-sex families in their own country. But freedom of movement is for everyone in the EU, and equality will prevail.\nSometimes the simplest analogies are the strongest.\nThe report also acknowledges that families in the European Union are diverse and include different-sex and same-sex parents [\u2026] who deserve equal protection under national and European Union law. It is also critical of the implementation by some Member States of restrictive definitions of \u2018family\u2019 in order to deny legal protection to same-sex couples and their children.\nAdditionally, in the field of hate crime, the Parliament has also urged the Commission to include homophobic and transphobic violence and harassment in its action programmes against gender-based violence.\nequal rightsEuropelgb rightstrans rights",

        "raw_content": "Montana Catholic Diocese\u2019s $20m Child Sex Abuse Victim Settlement Marks 15th Diocese Bankruptcy In US Because Of Abuse Scandals\nBishop Michael Warfel, bishop of the Great Falls-Billings Diocese, has said his obligation has been to be fair to claimants while ensuring the parishes remain viable.\n\u201cAfter six years of litigation and three attempts at mediation, victims of Catholic clergy sex abuse in Eastern Montana have reached a settlement with the church.\nThe tentative $20 million agreement with the Great Falls-Billings Diocese was announced Friday by the diocese and two law firms representing the victims.\nThe bankruptcy judge and the victims still must approve the settlement.\nThe claims cover allegations of sexual abuse between the 1940s and 1980s at ministries throughout the eastern half of the state, from the St. Labre Indian School on the Northern Cheyenne Reservation to the small town of Absarokee.\nThe tentative agreement was a step in the right direction, Bishop Michael Warfel said in a prepared statement.\n\u201cThis is part of our continuing efforts to reconcile with the survivors of childhood sex abuse while carrying on with the essential mission of the Church,\u201d he said. \u201cWe are hopeful that this settlement without the necessity of years of future litigation will continue the healing process with the abuse survivors.\u201d\nIn a subsequent interview, the bishop said as with any sex abuse settlement it was unlikely all parties were fully satisfied, but that the $20 million was \u201cmaxing us out,\u201d and was the most the diocese could do.\nA year ago the diocese filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection to negotiate a settlement. In March, the diocese moved to dismiss its bankruptcy case, saying negotiations had reached an impasse and continuing legal costs were draining the resources it had to fund a settlement.\nWarfel said at the time that his obligation was to be fair to victims while ensuring the parishes remain viable.\nTo fund the settlement, the church will use bishop assets and money from its insurance carrier, Catholic Mutual Insurance. The insurance coverage started in 1974 and covers just 22 of the claims.\nThe bishop has also been meeting with priests to discuss asking parishioners to contribute toward the settlement, but the bishop said he could not require that. The diocese will also sell off excess property that does not house active ministries, purchased with expansion in mind. That includes two roughly 20-acre parcels in Billings \u2014 in Briarwood and on the West End.\nAttorneys for the victims said they expect the settlement money to be allotted differently based on the circumstances of each claim, as has been done in past settlements with the Catholic church. An independent adjudicator is typically assigned to determine the award amount for individual claims based on established criteria that covers factors like the duration of the abuse and the severity relative to other claims.\nA portion of the $20 million will be used to pay legal fees for attorneys representing the individual victims. Separately, the diocese is paying attorney fees for another group of lawyers representing the committee that speaks for victims throughout the bankruptcy process, as required by Chapter 11 rules.\nThe church aims to pay at least $18 million soon after a settlement plan is confirmed, and pay the remainder within 30 months.\nThe church said it hopes to have the settlement finalized in four months, but attorneys with Tamaki Law Firm in Washington, which represents 38 of the claimants, said it could take longer.\nIn 2015, the Helena Diocese, which serves the western half of Montana, settled with 362 abuse victims for $20 million.\nVito de la Cruz, of the Tamaki Law Firm, said provisions in the settlement aimed at accountability were a top priority for victims and can be more important than the monetary terms of the settlement.\nOften settlement agreements for Catholic clergy abuse require provisions such as making public the names of the accused clergy members, providing counseling services and improving screening procedures for anyone serving or volunteering in the ministry.\nWarfel said those terms have yet to be decided, but that the terms could be similar to the terms of the Helena Diocese settlement, which in part required the diocese to post on its website the names of the accused. He also said the diocese has already taken some steps to prevent future abuse, such as requiring additional training for clergy.\nDe la Cruz represents a 50-year-old man who said his abuse began while he was in the fourth grade attending Catholic school in Billings in the late 1970s. He said he switched to another school, also in Billings, and was abused there by a different clergyman.\nThe man, whom The Billings Gazette is not naming because he is victim of sexual abuse, said his reaction to the settlement news was mixed: He is relieved the litigation process is coming to a close, but he said the money won\u2019t \u201cpay for the pain and suffering\u201d he has endured.\nThe 50-year-old said he knows other victims who dealt with the lifelong consequences of their abuse in other ways, but he resorted to abusing drugs and alcohol, winding up in prison for a period of time. He said he still has nightmares about the abuse.\n\u201cSeeing those priests walking around with those white collars is still a trigger for me,\u201d he said. \u201cI just want to tackle them. That\u2019s how I feel. I\u2019m still very angry.\u201d\nAnother abuse victim, a 71-year-old woman, said she felt disillusioned with the church during the settlement process.\n\u201cThe diocese came to the mediation table without wanting to offer us a decent settlement,\u201d she said. \u201cThey came with a pittance, and they said take it or leave it.\u201d\nThe woman added that she felt like the diocese treated her and other victims \u201clike a dented fender or something,\u201d and that she had lost respect for the church throughout the process.\nDe la Cruz has worked on other Catholic clergy settlement cases in the U.S. and said in sex abuse cases against \u201cpowerful entities like the church, or celebrities like Bill Cosby,\u201d victims often show a mixture of feelings.\n\u201cOne, there is some relief that the case is finally over,\u201d he said. \u201cMore important, some of the survivors sometimes have feelings of accomplishment because they were able to speak truth to the church.\u201d\nThe Great Falls-Billings Diocese bankruptcy was the 15th Catholic bankruptcy case in the United States.\u201d\nPrevious Deputy Head Of Prestigious Church Of England Lincoln Cathedral School Sentenced For Child Sex Abuse\nNext Two More Buffalo Catholic Priests Accused Of Child Sex Abuse, Taking Single Diocese Total To At Least 45",

        "raw_content": "Posted on April 18, 2016 by One of the Guys in Ask the Guys, cheating, cheating in relationships, Dating Advice, getting played, guys, long distance relationships, Relationship Advice: Question/Answer // 24 Comments\nI\u2019m in a long distance relationship (over a year) and my boyfriend goes out to the bars and adds women he just meets to his social media. That bugs me that it happens every time he goes out. What I\u2019m more concerned is that he messages with them. Is that normal behavior? I am new to the social media dating thing. (I was married) I guess I don\u2019t understand why he would need to stay in touch with random women he just met. I need some advice.\nDear New to Social Media,\nWe understand that you\u2019re new to the modern dating scene but traditional values still prevail. Meaning, what was inappropriate 20 years ago is still inappropriate, even if the way in which it\u2019s done may look different.\nWe\u2019re not trying to be cryptic, we\u2019re just saying, trust your gut. What do you think is going on? Obviously, his behavior is making you uncomfortable, and from what you\u2019re telling us, we don\u2019t blame you. Social media makes it easy for men AND women to hide inappropriate behavior in the guise of friendly chatting. But think about it. He\u2019s going out to the bars, he\u2019s exchanging information with women who are not his girlfriend, then he\u2019s taking that information home, adding information to his \u201clittle black book\u201d (social media) and then flirting and putting out feelers. We know the confusing part is that he\u2019s not hiding his behavior, which could make it seem more innocent. But this is only the behavior you\u2019re aware of. We\u2019re not saying he\u2019s cheating, but we\u2019re not saying he\u2019s not. Whatever it is, we don\u2019t think it\u2019s respectful to you.\nThe thing is, whether he believes his behavior is innocent or not, the fact is, it makes you uncomfortable, and that alone should be enough for him to reconsider his actions. The fact that he\u2019s not doing that, is as big a red-flag to us as his actual behavior. It might be time for a heart-to-heart conversation. You two need to work this out somehow.\nFinally, long-distance relationships are not easy. They require even more vigilance than the \u201ctypical\u201d relationship. And these types of issues arise more often in long-distance relationships because of all the freedom each person has. But the bottom line is still the same: When each person is out in the world, they should be asking some important questions.. 1. Would (name here) be okay with my behavior? 2. Am I being respectful to my relationship? 3. Would I be okay if (he/she) was doing this same thing?\nYou see, your partner should have your back when they\u2019re out in the world. You need to ask yourself if you think he does.\nps. We hope you\u2019ll share our site with friends. Thanks! (If you have questions/comments, please leave them in the comments\u2019 section below.)\ncheating in relationships\ndistance and dating\nissues with long distance\nWhy isn\u2019t he making a move?Will he change his mind about having kids?\n24 Comments on Is this normal behavior?\nAnne // April 21, 2016 at 11:58 am //\nI\u2019ve been talking to a guy daily for 4 months who lives in another country. We both shy away from labeling what kind of relationship we have. He has been up front and honest since day 1. First time we spoke he told me his girlfriend left him for another guy but he is still in love with her and hopes to get her back someday. They are still friends. As we have continued to chat and skype we have shared a lot (have become emotionally connected) There are times when we both tease each other by calling ourselves \u201cbest friends\u201d and \u201cI love you\u201d\u2026.never defining what KIND of love. His country is 2nd world country and he is miserable trying his best to find steady work and make a better life for himself there. (Btw. He\u2019s never asked me for money and he\u2019s certainly not after a green card)\nHe is also what I would call \u201cemotionally unavailable.\u201d Although he has slowly opened up to me as trust has been built and he feels comfortable. He tells me \u201cyou make me so happy\u201d and he has almost an obsession with wanting to make ME happy. \u2026always wanting to hear about my day (work is stressful) and making sure I\u2019m ok.\nHere\u2019s my problem. Most of the time I am fine \u2026meaning\u2026I continue to live my life here as I believe this is the healthiest way to be. However, some days I long for him and get depressed and/or jealous about his ex gf. I NEVER mention her, but he posts pics of her and him hanging out on FB. I have stopped looking at his FB page. (We aren\u2019t \u201cfriends\u201d)\nSometimes I want to say to him \u201cI think it\u2019s best that we don\u2019t chat as much or in the ways that we do bc you are still in love with your ex. I do not want to feel like a temporary online girlfriend bc that\u2019s not fair to me.\u201d Is this something you would suggest???\nEvery now and then we speak about him visiting me here in the US\u2026to get to know one another in person. I don\u2019t push the issue and told him to let me know when he is ready. (He has many problems to deal with over there at the moment)\nMy thoughts are that he is in a battle with everything. His feelings for me vs his feelings for his ex. And whether or not he wants/needs to leave his country. I am a healthy support to him without being his therapist. (I try to keep that fine line boundary in place)\nBottom line: do I cut this off now out of fear that I will eventually get hurt? Do I communicate what I mentioned above? Or do I continue on with life with a tiny hope that we will meet someday? Doing my best to keep my emotions in check.\nAnd do you agree with my thoughts of him just trying to figure everything out ? Give him time?\nUgh sorry if this is all a bit confusing. I did my best to summarize. I really need a \u201coutsider\u201d male\u2019s opinion.\nSorry. I think I posted my story under what is supposed to be comments to another post. Oops\nOne of the Guys // April 21, 2016 at 6:18 pm //\n@Anne\u2026..It\u2019s okay. We can give you our opinion here. We like that he\u2019s been upfront with you. But he\u2019s also sending you mixed signals. (Meaning, his actions don\u2019t necessarily match his words.) However, we believe he sees you only as a support, someone who fills the emotional void he feels from missing his ex. And the bottom line is just that: He\u2019s still in love with his ex-girlfriend. We\u2019re not saying this has no chance of working out\u2014we never say never\u2014but it seems unlikely. Let\u2019s say he gets over his girlfriend, that\u2019s just step one. Step two is seeing if the two of you could make a relationship work. Just because you\u2019re close on Skype doesn\u2019t mean it will work in person. It could, but it also couldn\u2019t. Honestly, this doesn\u2019t seem healthy for you, because we think you\u2019re stuck in an emotional holding pattern and that\u2019s keeping you from being open to other possibilities. That\u2019s just our opinion. Thoughts?\nAnne // April 21, 2016 at 8:43 pm //\nI agree. \u201cEmotional holding pattern\u201d hit me hard. That\u2019s exactly what\u2019s beginning to happen. I have spent many months working on myself\u2026.but still I\u2019m human and 36 years old so the loneliness gets worse over time. I want someone I can truly connect with. So I ,too ,have filled my void with him. I quit dating in August to just take a break from the stress of it all. (It\u2019s so very hard to find a good man these days) I focused my energy on self awareness. I have 2 dates next week since August, but I\u2019m only going so I can have a distraction. You helped a lot with the clarity and possible REALITIES of it all. Thank you so much. You\u2019ve validated my thoughts.\nDo you have any suggestions about how I should go about dealing with it from here? I really want to just be honest and say \u201cI\u2019m becoming more and more attached to you and it\u2019s not healthy for me as I know this will probably end in me getting hurt. I care for you but I need to\u2026not chat as often? Or do I cut it off completely? Ugh\nYou know why I\u2019m asking you this:) I want to say it in a way that doesn\u2019t make me look pathetic\u2026.and in a way that will let him know he\u2019s losing me in hopes he will chase me. I\u2019m pretty sure his reaction will be \u201cok\u201d\u2026and he will feel a sense of loss but I believe he will just go find another woman to fill the void.\nThe other part of me says \u201cwait. Keep your cool. Date again and see if he ever comes around\u201d in the meantime I might find someone else. but I don\u2019t know if this will work for me emotionally. I know myself well and it\u2019s a 50/50 chance\nThank you again for your quick response. This might be the most complicated relationship I\u2019ve dealt with (in terms of having no idea what to say to him) so I appreciate any advice.\nOne addition: I\u2019ve been a bit distant lately. He writes more and wants to know what\u2019s wrong and sends me sweet texts. Also: he has mentioned many times \u201cI don\u2019t know what I want. I\u2019m so conflicted. He tells me he is conflicted about work, but I know it\u2019s also about me vs his ex.\n@Anne\u2026\u2026Question: What country is he from? You? (We\u2019re assuming you\u2019re from USA or Canada perhaps) Anyway, we don\u2019t think you look pathetic. In fact there is NOTHING pathetic about you, or what\u2019s going on at all. So stop thinking that. Dating is hard, really hard. And there\u2019s a lot of randomness and luck to it. But it also requires fortitude, like looking for a job. You gotta keep putting yourself out there. (We know. Not very romantic.) The romance comes after the business approach. \ud83d\ude42\nAs per your situation. Like we said, we never say never. He\u2019s kind of living in a fantasy world when it comes to his ex and you. Both are not steeped in reality for different reasons. Just because he\u2019s in love with her still doesn\u2019t mean it will work out for him even if she does come back. Clearly she dumped him for specific reasons and those reasons haven\u2019t suddenly disappeared. On the flip side, he\u2019s not giving you a fair shake because of it, even if he feels strongly connected to you. In some ways you\u2019re both in holding patterns. Hmmm\u2026..Our suggestion: Be honest with him. (It\u2019s not pathetic.) It\u2019s okay to tell him that you\u2019ve begun to develop feelings for him. Remember, the whole goal of a long-distance relationship is to one day live in the same city with one another. You should tell him that if that isn\u2019t the goal, this is not working for you. We can tell you that he\u2019s going to give you a wishy-washy response and throw you a bone, just enough to keep you in the fold, but not enough that much will change.(We hope we\u2019re wrong) At which point you say, \u201cWe can still talk, but I need to cut it back. If this isn\u2019t going anywhere, I need to put myself out there and this is preventing me from doing that.\u201d And then we suggest you get yourself back out there, or try to be open once again. He should be trying to figure out how the two of you can meet somehow. (If he was totally in love with you.) What do you think? ps. Cutting it back is the first step. At some point, you may just need to move on entirely if he\u2019s not going to step up to the plate and go for it.\nAnne // April 22, 2016 at 8:57 am //\nI can\u2019t thank you enough for helping me. Really\u2026.and it\u2019s working. I will take your advice.\nI am from US. He is from Albania. Over 50% unemployment rate. Thousands left recently to find work in Germany. His mother is sick and he is the \u201conly boy\u201d to take care of her so he did say this was one reason he feels like he can\u2019t leave right now. He is currently working with his cousin at a summer job but has nothing lined up after that. His only hope is getting accepted into the police academy. (He will know in about 2 weeks\u2026he was excited at first but now says he doesn\u2019t know what he wants to do) He is very depressed but does not \u201cdump\u201d on me as he says he doesn\u2019t like talking about his problems. However, he\u2019s had some difficult days and has opened up to me\u2026then the next day he wants to know if my opinion of him has changed. (Insecure) He feels like a complete loser. I know if a man can\u2019t provide (job) and have respect from others..it makes them feel worthless. Like I said before\u2026I have been careful not to be his therapist and not offer solutions\u2026but to merely remind him that his circumstances do not define who he is. I listen and support him by reminding him of his good qualities and to please not lose hope.\nI mentioned a long time ago \u2026before I had feelings for him\u2026that I will help him find work here. He says living in America is a dream that he doesn\u2019t think will ever become a reality bc it would be like us winning the lottery. I told him that\u2019s not true bc I can make things happen. He\u2019s forever grateful. I told him \u201cthe invite is there. \u201d I don\u2019t want you to feel pressured so I will not mention it again. You just tell me when/if you are ready. You can visit first and see if you like it.\u201d My friends have also offered to help get him over him financially and my brother owns a company in his line of work and has offered to hire him (sponser) or help him find a job. He said \u201cI will wait to see if I\u2019m accepted to academy then I will let you know.\u201d\nI have learned he has a very difficult time accepting any kind of \u201chelp.\u201d I think it makes him feel emasculated.\nIt\u2019s strange\u2026.I don\u2019t fret about all of this during the day. Only at night when I\u2019m exhausted:)\nYou are right. I will do my best to put myself out there again. God I hate dating \ud83d\ude02Haha. But I need to just do it bc I\u2019m starting to become a hermit.\nThank you for reminding me I\u2019m not pathetic. I know I have a lot to offer. that\u2019s one of the things I\u2019m working on\u2026.loving myself and not beating myself up with negative \u201cself talk.\u201d I was raised in an environment where I was \u201cnever good enough.\u201d It\u2019s taken many years to progress out of that. Still more work to be done:)\nI do believe that if a guy is in love he will do everything/anything to make it happen. For now I will cut back as I have been doing this for 2 days now. (I must say\u2026I\u2019m a champ at not texting and sticking to my guns when I make up my mind to not do that:) hehe. In the meantime I will go out on those dates and try to have a good time. My work helps too as it is my passion. (Piano teacher/performer/classical)\nIf he chooses to stay in Albania (he has to make that decision in a few weeks) I will do what you suggested and be honest.\nWhew. I feel like a burden has been lifted from my mind today. Thanks to you I now have a plan and this brings me comfort and confidence.\nThank you again. I appreciate you. If you have anything else to add please respond \ud83d\ude42\n@Anne\u2026.We\u2019re glad we\u2019re able to help you process your situation. One thing: We understand that you want to help him. But this must be a selfless act. (As much as any act can be selfless.) Meaning, helping him come to the US is a very generous thing to do, but it needs to be separate from your romantic hopes. Obviously, it\u2019s not going to be completely separate, but there are two issues right now and the more they don\u2019t intersect the better. 1. His job situation. 2. Your relationship (Maybe they are related, but they shouldn\u2019t be.) We\u2019re sure you can surmise what we\u2019re getting at. ps. We\u2019re glad you\u2019re putting yourself out there. And yes, your work sounds like it helps ground you, and provides a creative outlet, as well as excitement. A nice combination. You\u2019re lucky. (We have a few musicians here too!) Finally: We hope you let your friends know about us. Thanks.\nI completely agree. I needed to hear that. Reality check! Selfless\u2026.without expectations \u2026I won\u2019t be able to help having romantic expectations/hopes so that seals the deal for me. That\u2019s not fair to him or me. His whole life is on the line and that\u2019s a far bigger problem than I can ever imagine. Onward I go to new things. Haha.\nYES I will tell my friends about you. I\u2019ve already told 3;)\n@Anne\u2026..We hope it works out on all fronts. Keep us posted. Take care. ps. And thanks for spreading the word about us.\nTygirl // March 18, 2017 at 5:42 pm //\nI went out of my way to look online for a solution to a similar situation and I stumbled on this beautiful site.\nI am in a long distance relationship with a former platonic friend who we recently reunited via linkedin after 8 years of being out of touch. He was glad to know I was not yet married and asked for a serious relationship which began 6 months ago. We text and talk often, and we only met physically a few months ago when I traveled to his country for vacation with my brother. I spent a week extra after my brother returned simply to give us time to connect and we had a good time together with a bit more intimacy, during which I met his family members as well.\nNow since I returned, his calls have been far apart, my messages aren\u2019t responded to early enough, initially I tried to explain it away because any time we spoke, he seemed to have a lot he was working on. After a while I decided to reduce my contacts and noticed he made more attempts to text and drive the conversation, nonetheless it is a far cry from what we had before I visited.\nMy brother is of the opinion that I pull away completely and risk not hearing from him again, but really not sure what to do, because whenever he calls, he seems to have some reason for being away without any accusation or questions from me\nI\u2019m near mid thirties actually, and him being Pisces made me excuse some of his disappearing acts\nWhat do you think/advice?\n@Tygirl\u2026\u2026.Being Pisces is no excuse. We tend to agree with your brother. Why not try pulling back and letting him initiate all contact. Look, you\u2019re not happy with how things are going, so you\u2019ve really got nothing to lose. And remember: Being busy is just an excuse guys use when they don\u2019t feel like putting in the time and effort. Do you have any plans for another visit? If not, he should be the one to bring that up.\nI truly appreciate this quick feedback. Pulling away it is then, because I kind of feel taken for granted lately, so my plan is to ignore his whatsapp calls and text for a week and see what happens, because he used to make regular phonecalls before but not once since I returned from vacation, and the whatsapp calls he makes are usually so brief because he is either driving to work when he calls or the calls are intercepted by other regular calls, reducing our conversations to just pleasantries. the plan was that he would visit for a formal introduction to my family,\u2026but now he keeps having a busier schedule and no concrete date in sight.\nI do not plan to visit before does anyway.\n@Tygirl\u2026..You\u2019re welcome. Sounds like a plan. Keep us posted.\nTygirl // April 1, 2017 at 9:25 am //\nAn update as planned:)\nI pulled away immediately for a week, he called initially on whatsapp, no response from me, then he called a day after on a regular phone call(first time since my return from my visit), I was formal and casual. He called again two days later, and said he was sorry for being so busy and unavailable lately, then I was friendlier but didn\u2019t say anything about his being too busy to call.\nI still didn\u2019t call him even after a week, and didn\u2019t respond to whatsapp text he sent. It seems pulling away just made me realize how stressful he\u2019s being unavailable has been on me for over a month now, so I felt he needed to do more than a single apology. Well he called again, and said he was very sorry and had missed me a lot. So my conclusion is pulling away works!..I have called back afterwards, just taking it a day at a time, but definitely avoiding the whatsapp text, cause I think its encouraging laziness on his part.\nAm I right to think, regular phone-calls, beyond costing more time and money, also aids better effort and communication in a long distance relationship? Then I still wonder at his being busy excuses, \u2026time will tell..I guess.\nOne of the Guys // April 2, 2017 at 6:42 am //\n@Tygirl\u2026\u2026It sounds like he\u2019s putting a lot more effort into this. Regular phone calls are good. It seems like he\u2019s kind of \u201cgetting it\u201d now. FYI: Pulling away works, but only temporarily. Meaning, you have to give a little too. Otherwise he\u2019ll get discouraged or think you\u2019re not putting any effort into it as well. So surprise him every once in a while with a phone call. But still, let him do the majority of initiating. And definitely let him initiate the next get together. That\u2019s for sure. And continue to keep us posted.\nTygirl // April 23, 2017 at 1:15 pm //\nI truly appreciate your prompt replies.\nWell Well well, what can I say, I also thought finally he is getting it. But to be honest\u2026his calls have been scarcer than ever, then when I called him twice for two Sundays in a row, there was no pick up..I really was pissed off..because it just felt rude of him.\nEventually after two weeks of silence, he suddenly sent a lengthy message apologising for the silence and stating he is just sad we aren\u2019t together yet, and claiming he loves me. I didn\u2019t reply, then he called the next day..with more apologies..I just kept my calm like nothing happened..( somehow I feel adults know when they have misbehaved, so need not be told)\nWell I called him back..and all seemed well, only for a repeat of the silence again, for over a week now.\nMy question is\u2026what would make a guy act this way?..somehow I am beginning to think he is playing a game..and might be wise of me to move on..but for a 36 year old guy, isn\u2019t that childish?\nI am sincerely confused and irritated too\u2026\nWhat do you guys think is going on?\n@Tygirl\u2026..We think he\u2019s not acting like a guy who\u2019s in love and wants to be in the same city with his woman. Has he talked about your next visit? Is he begging you to come again? Is he begging to come? Has he offered to pay for your visit? Honestly, we think the two of you are not on the same page. And we\u2019re talking beyond the communication. He might say he wants this but we\u2019re not sure he does. His actions are ringing much louder than his words. What do you think? (And what does your brother think? He seems like he\u2019s got a good handle on the situation.)\nTygirl // April 24, 2017 at 11:54 am //\nhmm\u2026I totally agree with your analysis, his words don\u2019t match his actions, I\u2019ve never heard that staying away is as a result of missing someone too much\u2026but that is what he said after the long two weeks silence.\nprior to my visit, he had brushed the idea of getting married while I am there, with a plan for a more traditional and elaborate one later on, and he saw that I didn\u2019t buy into the idea, because I said we do things the proper way in my family. He agreed that he wanted what\u2019s best for us.\nso back to your question..what do I think? well I think he is hoping that somehow without much effort of traveling for the formality from his side (maybe to save costs or whatever) I\u2019ll become desperate enough and explore his initial suggestion.\nthe fact is his mum will be visiting here next month, and I would have thought he would seize the opportunity for a formal introduction\u2026so maybe beyond the communication he is developing cold-feet..and my lack of complaint is making it hard for him to come up with a justifiable reason in his mind to end it.\nMy brother thinks I should not come up with any idea or solution on how we can be together, that as long as he can\u2019t figure it out himself then I should keep silence\u2026and move on if someone better comes along\u2026\nI guess a couple of years back, I would not have bothered to understand what his motivations are, but would just move on once I notice a guy is making himself a mystery for me to solve, but now I just thought to wait and see\u2026but guess waiting isn\u2019t working either..the baffling part is his continuous apology and saying he is bad at keeping in touch ..with so much distance\u2026\nOne of the Guys // April 24, 2017 at 12:04 pm //\n@Tygirl\u2026..Where exactly do you live? Him? So what you\u2019re saying is that he\u2019s not even coming to visit when his mom comes? Really? Is there something we\u2019re missing here? Like some sort of reason you can think of as to why he\u2019s acting the way he is? Is there some sort of angle we\u2019re not getting? Like a religious angle or a sexual angle or some sort of ethnic angle or whatever???? And let\u2019s say he does mean what he says. Well, that tells us he just doesn\u2019t GET IT. And if he doesn\u2019t get this, we wonder what else he won\u2019t get if you actually do stay together? Are we being too harsh?\nTygirl // April 24, 2017 at 12:15 pm //\nlol\u2026believe me ..I like to hear the blunt truth..than sugarcoats.\nHe lives in the US, while I live in Ghana. his mum and siblings live there too\u2026but his sister lives here, in fact the mum sent gifts to her when I visited earlier this year, so I met her when I delivered the gifts upon my return.\nHe is of similar, ethnic and religious background, and maybe he had assumed when he reconnected with me after so many years like I mentioned in my first message here, that he\u2019s being abroad was sufficient to make any lady come running into his laps. but then he should have known better \u2026in fact my visit was a last minute surprise\u2026because he was meant to have visited much earlier..\nthe funny thing is that he is intuitive..so I don\u2019t discount his actions as lack of awareness of the right thing to do..yet when it seems like I am getting over his silence and considering moving on, then he comes back more or less pleadingly\u2026even without my complaint..\nthis is what made me think he is playing some game to get me desperate to be with him..\n@Tygirl\u2026\u2026.Okay, so here\u2019s another thought. Any chance there\u2019s another woman in the picture that you\u2019re not aware of?\nHmmm..initially I considered this a possibility ..especially when he stopped picking my calls when he moved in with his family but would return the call later when driving to work.\nI wondered why he would not pick at home, given I had met the family and their reception was warm..\nbut somehow\u2026with time and more analysis I lost sight of this initial thought\u2026so maybe there is another lady, and yet he wants to string me along, is why he resurfaces and apologises\u2026.I guess with the distance I can only judge by his actions\u2026\n@Tygirl\u2026\u2026Keep us posted. Take care.",

        "raw_content": "Debt Upon Debt And Bankrupt Financial Institutions\nA moment for the big picture, panic set in to resolve the insolvency crisis now upon us, new moral hazard, soon an end to the bubbles, toxic waste worth next to nothing, legislative malfeasance, markets soon to be put under maximum pressure, everyone now terrified of lending and our way of life is set to change\nLet's step back for a moment, and look at the big picture, to determine what the Illuminist miscreants have been up to over the past year. Their plans to pawn off all the toxic waste derivatives on others backfired when Meredith Whitney exposed Citibank's subprime derivatives as being toxic waste, worth a mere fraction of par. This untoward event was a watershed event for our nation, and for Illuminist plans to destroy us. Ever since she exposed the toxic waste derivative subterfuge, which the Illuminists planned to use to infect and sabotage economies around the world, thereby causing the collapse of the world financial system to pave the way for world government, the Illuminists have been in damage control mode. They were caught holding far more of the toxic waste than they had planned because they were unable to unload what had already been created, or that which was in the process of being created, due to Ms. Whitney's timely critique.\nEver since the exposure of their scheme, they have been running around like chickens with their heads cut off trying to stop the fallout from the resulting insolvency of Illuminist companies, and they have been trying in vain to prevent their precious Ponzi financial system from collapsing before they are ready to complete the nationalization of our financial system, and of other economic sectors like the automobile and insurance industries, under a corporatist, fascist police state of Orwellian feudality. Their desperation has become increasingly palpable, such as Hanky Panky's martial law threats to get the TARP plan approved, and his bait and switch trick, wherein he promised to use the bailout funds to buy toxic assets, and then turned around and gave it to his Wall Street cronies in the form of equity injections so they could continue to pay dividends to shareholders and outrageous salaries and bonuses to the executives who have bankrupted their companies, as well as to acquire the smaller fry banks in a fresh round of competition elimination. In the process, they have redefined the term \"moral hazard.\"\nBut the current epic debacles now infesting our financial system as it unravels right before our eyes was carefully set up by these malevolent, Illuminist slime-balls over several decades.\nIn order to create the final real estate and derivative bubbles which they planned to use to take the world financial system down to provide the initiative for implementing world government, they initiated the dot.com Ponzi scheme which ended rather poorly in 2000. The dot.com Ponzi debacle came in the aftermath of the orchestrated 1987 Stock Market Crash which was used as the excuse to get President Reagan to create the President's Working Group on Financial Markets so that the Illuminists could manipulate markets worldwide on a 24/7 basis while cleaning up with insider trading profits based on foreknowledge of such manipulations provided by their puppets in our government. The dot.com bubble was used to shore up the damage caused by various disasters, including the 1987 crash, the S&L crisis, and the recession of the early 1990's. The recession of the early 1990's was in turn caused in the aftermath of the broken real estate bubble that was formed by the Illuminists to cover up the damage created by the nasty recession of the early 1980's. And the nasty recession of the early 1980's came in the aftermath of Paul Volcker's curtailment of the flow of money and credit by use of high interest rates to stop the rampant inflation of the 1970's which commenced with the elimination of the Gold Standard by Nixon in 1971 as failed price controls and the huge expenditures of the Vietnam War came back to haunt us.\nThe breaking of the dot.com bubble provided the impetus for the final series of bubbles, which the Illuminati had planned in order to create the derivative system which they intended to use to infect and destroy the economies of the world to bring about world government.\nFirst, they eliminated Glass-Steagall with the Gramm, Leach Bliley Act during the Clinton Administration so that commercial banks, investment banks and insurance companies could combine to form the same gargantuan banking conglomerates which are now considered to be too-big-to-fail and which are stuffing themselves senseless with bailout money at the public trough to continue the rip-off of our middle class in favor of the crony capitalists and elitist scum. Also during the infamous and traitorous Clinton Administration they passed the Commodity Futures Modernization Act which eliminated regulation of the OTC derivatives markets so they could pawn off their toxic waste on many unsuspecting financial institutions around the world behind the backs of regulators as the greatest bubble of all time was being formed -- a Quadrillion Dollar Derivative Death-Star. And because Glass-Steagall had been eliminated, the system of checks and balances achieved through the separation of the various financial functions of commercial banks from those of investment banks and insurance companies had completely broken down. The fraud committed by the rating agencies who labeled toxic waste as AAA paper was the direct result of the conflicts of interest which arose as the Glass-Steagall Act was discarded and the new behemoth, and now totally insolvent, banking conglomerates were formed.\nThe largest of these behemoths, Citigroup, may well go under despite its de facto nationalization by virtue of loans and loan guarantees as it infamously joins AIG in the suspended animation category while the elitists attempt to unravel its Byzantine puzzle of counterparty liability and other massive potential fallout. Say goodbye to another two or three trillion as these twin titans of financial destruction join Fannie and Freddie in the race to hyperinflate the US public into oblivion as bailout after bailout is funded by direct monetization of treasuries that eventually no one will want anymore. America is already a mammoth hedge fund leveraged at almost 200 to 1. You have Fed general collateral with a face value of about 2.2 trillion that has been, or will be, exchanged for toxic waste under the Term Securities Lending Facility or that has been, or will be, acquired through the Fed's general lending powers, which are now being extended to commercial paper. This toxic waste is at best worth 30 cents on the dollar, and secures $100 trillion in current and future debts and entitlements profligately created by the morons and village idiots in Congress, meaning that $660 billion is now the only security backing a $100 trillion commitment, sort of like a giant credit default swap. And people wonder why treasuries are becoming more and more difficult to unload? The only demand for treasuries right now is being generated by the intentional destruction of the world economy, by de-leveraging and by the relative worthlessness of other fiat currencies. But soon that demand will falter as hyperinflation from trillions in fresh bailout cash and a coming \"re-flation\" of the financial system destroys the value of these perceived safe-haven instruments.\nWhile all this legislative malfeasance was happening, the SEC allowed investment banks to increase their leverage to insane levels of as much as 60 to 1 from the 10 or 15 to 1 level, and of course this was done to help fuel the real estate and derivative bubbles. And while the investment banks were engaged in achieving levels of leverage reserved for psychopathic maniacs, the Illuminati at the Fed initiated ludicrously low interest rates and allowed, by virtue of their total lack of regulation and oversight, the implementation of a deceitful system of loan qualification standards which ignored decades of well developed loan standards. As a result, mortgages were granted to the totally and completely unqualified through rampant loan fraud all the way up the loan chain from the borrowers at the bottom to the securitizers at the top. This is why all the assumptions used to create the various tranches of these financial weapons of mass destruction were totally flawed. They were based on debt created under previous, well-developed, and very wise, loan standards, which were discarded to put homes into the hands of the unqualified. The main Fannie and Freddie fraud was the acceptance of these new moronic loan standards for the granting of mortgages, and this in large part helped to power the granting of loans to the unworthy which is at the heart of the current real estate and credit-crunch debacles.\nThrow in the 911 attack, the destruction of our industry through the free trade, globalization, off-shoring, outsourcing, and legal and illegal immigration agendas which culminated in NAFTA and CAFTA (thanks Slick Willie, for giving us the SHAFTA), as well as the continual lies regarding economic statistics emanating from our government which are causing many companies to make bad decisions, and you have a lethal cocktail of financial trouble which the Illuminists are going to try to use to destroy the world economy to pave the way for world government. Gold and silver are going to rise as the world financial system falls, so make sure that you own some, meaning a lot.\nBillionaire Bilderberger, George Soros, was recently interviewed by the Spiegel (Mirror) of Germany. We find it of interest that Mr. Soros continues to be a financial celebrity in spite of the fact that in France he was convicted of a felony and upon appeal was turned down. He was involved in fraud and rigging markets. Obviously being a Bilderberger is more important.\nMr. Soros says in his latest book, \u201cThe New Paradigm for Financial Markets,\u201d \u201cThe Credit Crisis of 2008\u201d that he predicted the worst financial crisis since the 1930s. It has gone beyond his wildest imagination. We might add that we predicted the same result three years before Mr. Soros did, but then again we are not Bilderbergers nor do we get interviewed by mainstream media.\nHe says over the next two months the market will experience maximum pressure because of lack of leadership. He sees a transition period, which we don\u2019t. We see a long battle between inflation and deflation terminating in depression and either war or revolution or both. He says the financial community has still not grasped the magnitude of the economic decline and he is correct. Even in his projection he sees relief in the short-to-intermediate term, which he should know is not possible \u2013 even Soros is in part in denial. Either that or he is deliberately misleading people by giving them false short-term hope.\nHe went on to say that those in and behind government made a fatal mistake allowing Lehman Brothers go bankrupt. This in part was why Citigroup essentially went bankrupt and they were bankrupt.\nIn regards to Treasury Secretary Paulson, Soros said, \u201cWhen he allowed Lehman Brothers to fail, the breakdown in the financial markets found him totally unprepared. He then went to Congress and the only plan he had was to bailout the holders of toxic waste. That not having worked, he injected equity capital into the banking system, but he went about it the wrong way. Then he stopped doing anything, leaving a vacuum in leadership, and the markets collapsed. What more could you expect from an ex-linebacker?\u201d\nMr. Soros then added that, \u201cI think we need a large stimulus package, which will provide funds for state and local governments to maintain their budgets because they are not allowed by the constitution to run a deficit. This will cost government billions of dollars, perhaps $600 billion.\u201d\nIt is the same old Keynesian theories that don\u2019t work, but serve to enrich the elite.\nThe spread or risk premium on US Treasury CDS, credit default swaps, hit record highs as markets digested the scale of US government programs to buy various consumer loans and related securities. The 10s spread widened to 54.7 bps from a day earlier close of 47.50 bps. The 5s hit 52.0 up from 47.5 bps. Anyone recommending or buying US Treasuries is insane or stupid. That is why we recommend Swiss franc Treasuries.\nPark Central Capital Mgt., a money manager, who\u2019s biggest shareholder of the fixed-income hedge fund is H. Ross Perot, has been liquidated because it is no longer viable having lost 40% of its $1.5 billion this year. This is a result of the Lehman bankruptcy that triggered a sell off in corporate bonds. Many more will follow.\nCitigroup was saved from bankruptcy by American taxpayers under orders from the Treasury and the Federal Reserve. Former Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin was asleep on the Citi board for ten years. He with other board members and officers of Citi allowed this to happen. They expect us to believe they didn\u2019t know what was happening having received millions in compensation. Here are the rest of the cast of characters that joined in on the mismanagement and looting: Chairman Sir Win Bischoff and directors - former CIA Director John Deutsch, Tim Warner, Chairman Richard Parsons, foundation executive Franklin Thomas, former ATT&T CEO C. Michael Armstrong, Alcoa Chairman Alain Belda, and former Chevron Chairman Kenneth Dorn. We don\u2019t believe any of these professionals are dumb. Citi was allowed to go under so it and all other major banks would come under Fed control.\nEach American citizen will pay $1,000 to guarantee Citi\u2019s dubious investments. They can thank the above gang for the tax hoisted upon them. This is the same group, which presided over the helm in 2005 when the Fed suspended Citi\u2019s ability to make acquisitions because of the bank\u2019s failure to adhere to regulatory and ethical standards. As we reach back in our memory before the gang of thugs in suits above, there was the sovereign debt disaster of the 1980s, and the Fed rescue in 1990, where they had to have their own people run Citi, which was also bankrupt at that time.\nCiti has been a cash cow for Illuminists for many years. The management allowed Citi to sort of float at sea aimlessly. Citi will be broken up and sold off with the public footing the bill as the rich and connected walk off with their pockets bulging with money.\nGeneral Growth Properties, which owns more than 200 mall properties throughout the US, is on the edge of failure, it has to produce $958 million now and $3.07 billion next year. Other big losers are Simon Property Group, the top US mall operator and Boston Properties, owners of skyscrapers and office buildings. Ghost malls will be in your future. Many mall inhabitants are going bankrupt, such as Circuit City and Linens \u2018N Things. Hundreds of thousands are closing stores and only keeping their most profitable units open.\nThe problem is no one will lend. The banks are terrified. This is another bursting market in an illiquid environment.\nThe NAPM-Milwaukee reported in at 35.0 down from 42.\nNow we have Union Bank Suisse, Deutsche Bank, Credit Suisse, the Royal Bank of Canada and Hong Kong Shanghai Bank demanding the same tax breaks that US banks are getting from American taxpayers. The gall - the unmitigated gall. They tell us that commercial law and tradition prevent their being discriminated against. Ya, try getting tax breaks in their countries.\nContrary to folklore the Fed did not tighten credit after the 1929 crash. They pumped furiously until the 3rd quarter of 1931. They had to stop for nine months due to statute. Simultaneously, the NY Fed acting independently pumped in money and credit just as aggressively.\nIn those bygone days the government had little debt and no one had credit cards and few could borrow.

        "raw_content": "Book Review: Extra Lives\nExtra Lives: Why Video Games Matter\nThe medium of video gaming has always been a lightning rod for controversy, from the violence levels of \u201cMortal Kombat\u201d to the sex scenes of \u201cGrand Theft Auto: San Andreas,\u201d but in the last year two debates have raised the stakes in new ways. In April Roger Ebert, the grand high priest of film criticism, expanded on his earlier opinion that video games could never be art, delivering an in-depth argument that instigated so much debate online that he was later forced to admit he wasn\u2019t qualified to make that statement. Second \u2013 and with far wider consequences \u2013 the state of California has taken its case for regulating the sale of video games to the U.S. Supreme Court, with a ruling still pending that could either cement games as a truly legitimate media or drive a stake through the industry\u2019s growth.\nWhatever your stance on either of these issues, there\u2019s no disputing video games have become something more than quarter sinks for arcade-goers or time-wasters for the underachieving. In terms of technology, interactivity and storytelling, the potential for video games to do something more has never been higher, and these debates prove it\u2019s time for a serious look at where this medium is going. And it\u2019s for that reason that Tom Bissell\u2019s \u201cExtra Lives\u201d should be required reading for anyone even remotely concerned with the discussion: it\u2019s a well-rounded analysis of several of the most influential games of the last decade, a book that shows the most devoted of fans can also be the most incisive of critics.\nBissell takes several of the most popular titles from the last decade \u2013 Rockstar\u2019s Grand Theft Auto IV, BioWare\u2019s Mass Effect and Capcom\u2019s Resident Evil amongst others \u2013 and breaks them down in loosely connected essays that are equal parts specific criticism and broader industry analysis. His experiences in each game are discussed in detail, covering how well they tackle issues such as storytelling, character development, violence, immersion and problem solving. The book also incorporates stops at game developers\u2019 offices and profiles of some of the industry\u2019s most outspoken figures, including Gears of War mastermind Cliff Bleszinski and Braid auteur Jonathan Blow.\nFittingly for his topic, Bissell avoids a dry academic tone and goes through these games in a journalistic tone that blends research with personal experience. His analysis of each subject is engaging in how he express his reaction to games (he praises the immersion of Resident Evil\u2018s \u201cshock of the new\u201d and cites it as the first video game that had \u201cgone straight for the spinal canal\u201d), and also has the unsparing edge of the professional game writer (the game has a story that\u201ccollapses wherever thought arrives\u201d). It\u2019s criticism accessible to both the fans and the scholars, and one that\u2019s willing to treat the medium seriously \u2013 I can\u2019t think of any other source that can quote Vladimir Nabokov\u2019s \u201cLolita\u201d in analyzing the plot of GTA IV.\nAnd Bissell is nothing if not serious about his video games: as he illustrates in often unflattering detail, his gaming habits regularly hover on the obsessive wavelength. He admits in the opening chapter he missed all of Election Day 2008 because it overlapped the release of Fallout 3, and unapologetically cites 80 hours logged in Mass Effect and 200 in Oblivion. The final chapter equates his gaming with an addiction, as months of cocaine abuse was intertwined with endlessly playing GTA IV. Running through the money and opportunities lost, it\u2019s entirely possible to see him as a poster child for the anti-gaming associations (and this coming from a 20-year gamer who has 80 hours of his own in Fallout 3 and Oblivion, and whose Xbox gamerscore is verging on 30,000 at time of writing).\nBut Bissell is no slack-jawed shooter fan taken in by gaming\u2019s basic flash and violence \u2013 rather, he\u2019s a researcher who\u2019s fascinated by how something so basic as shooting zombies can stir him so mentally and emotionally. When a game has problems (poor vehicle sections, badly written dialogue) he weighs just how much they throw him for the experience, and when he finds a gaming theory unsettling more often than not he goes straight to the designers for an explanation. He treats the topic seriously, and by extension you take his arguments and emotions seriously, so when he reaches a conclusion on a factor like the choices made in Mass Effect\u2018s penultimate story mission his concluding passage resonates deeply:\n\u201cThus the game took my own self-interest and effectively vivisected it. I literally put down my controller and stared at my television screen. When games do this poorly, or even adequately, the sensation is that of a slightly caffeinated immediacy. You have agency, yes, but what of it? It is just a game. But when a game does this well, you lose track of your manipulation of it, and its manipulation of you, and instead feel so deeply inside the game that your mind, and your feelings, become as seemingly crucial to its operation as its many millions of lines of codes. It is the sensation that that the game itself is suddenly, unknowably alive as you are.\u201d\nEven when its chapters feel a bit unfocused (many were published as magazine features and profiles and as such don\u2019t quite form a whole), passages and opinions like these still manage to hit one as definitely as an unexpected sniper headshot in a Halo deathmatch. \u201cExtra Lives\u201d is full of these well-fleshed thoughts, and for this clarity and depth it\u2019s earned a place on the top shelf of books written about this continually evolving medium. It\u2019s impossible to say where gaming is going in the coming years, but it\u2019s certainly going beyond what we expect, and it\u2019s people like Bissell we should be listening to as it develops.\nFor demos of Bissell\u2019s work, previously published chapters of \u201cExtra Lives\u201d can be found online in their original formats at The Guardian and The New Yorker.\n6 Comments\t| Book Reviews\t| Tagged: Braid, Cliff Bleszinski, cocaine, Extra Lives, Fallout, Far Cry, Gears of War, Grand Theft Auto, Jonathan Blow, Mass Effect, Pantheon Books, Peter Molyneux, Roger Ebert, Tom Bissell, U.S. Supreme Court, video games\t| Permalink",

The job done by Mumbai police during the attack was commendable and this inspired Kia to come to India and work with Mumbai police. This is what Harsha Bhogle has to say about the lady:\n\u201cSometimes cricket brings you into contact with the most remarkable people. This morning I met an American lady who knew very little about cricket. Kia Scherr had lost her husband and daughter to the heinous Mumbai attacks on 26/11. Rather than sit back and bemoan her fate, she decided to return to India and work with the Mumbai police, to help train them and spread cheer and happiness and a smile. She has made a 30 page booklet called \u201cA Pocketbook of Peace\u201d so the policeman can read it one page a day to bring a smile. Her One Life Foundation is seeking to bond more with the Mumbai police and other police forces around India to \u201crestore balance, to deepen commitment to love unconditionally\u201d because, as she says \u201clove was brutally lacking in the terrorist attack\u201d.\nKia and a group of expat cricket lovers mainly from Australia and England played a cricket match against the Mumbai police today which they hope will help bridges with the police and in course of time, use cricket to spread the message of peace.\nIt is a nice way to use the power of cricket in India and in an atmosphere of negativity and sensationalism, maybe someone will be able to highlight this.\nKia seems like a bundle of positive energy. She could easily have been the opposite.\u201d\nSometimes cricket brings you into contact with the most remarkable people.

It normally takes three years for a Commonwealth Games Village project to obtain planning consent, but thanks to the \u2018can do\u2019 attitude of the council and its partners, we have already done the job in just 12 months.\u201d\nFollowing the end of consultation, which closes on 4 March 2019, all comments will be reviewed with any appropriate changes then being made before the submission of an outline planning application, ahead of an anticipated decision by the council Planning Committee in summer 2019. The secondary school, proposed to the Department for Education, would open in 2021 if approved.\nThe exhibition will be available via the Birmingham Consultation Hub at: www.birminghambeheard.org.uk/economy/residential-perry-barr-phase-2\nPrevious articleSting & Shaggy announce UK Tour Dates for 2019\nNext articleHeaven is a place on turf for Nursery",

        "title": "Every Tourist in Amsterdam Makes These Same 12 Mistakes",
        "raw_content": "Every Tourist in Amsterdam Makes These Same 12 Mistakes\nAmsterdam is notoriously known for its liberal laws and laid back lifestyle, but the city offers so much more than just a place to party. Whether you\u2019re there to cruise the canals or explore one of the many museums, don\u2019t fall victim to the errors made by most visitors.\nThese are the mistakes every tourist makes when visiting Amsterdam:\n1. Confusing a cafe and a coffeeshop.\nIf the only type of pot you want is a pot of coffee, visit a cafe. If you\u2019d like some cannabis with your cappuccino, head to one of Amsterdam\u2019s many coffeeshops. The shops are licensed establishments that legally sell cannabis, but are not permitted to sell alcohol or any other drugs. Light up the grass all you want, but just don\u2019t try smoking tobacco in these joints (pun intended).\n2. Walking in bike lanes.\nFun fact: There are more bicycles than there are people in Amsterdam. Stay out of the bike lanes and pay attention to where you\u2019re walking. The last thing you want to do on your vacation is end up in a hospital room.\nPhoto by Paul Bence/Flickr\n3. Waiting in line for the Anne Frank House.\nUnless you want to wait in a two-hour long line, purchase tickets for the Anne Frank house in advance on the internet. Anne Frank\u2019s hideaway is a top tourist attraction with a line that wraps around the corner. A limited amount of online tickets are released two months in advance, so snatch them up as soon as you see them available.\n4. Only eating indoors.\nAfter taking a tour of the Heineken Brewery, take a three-minute stroll over to the open air Albert Cuyp Market. Try some of Amsterdam\u2019s most famous street food, like poffertjes (tiny pancakes covered in Nutella and powdered sugar) or freshly made stroopwaffles (way better than the packaged ones offered on United flights).\nPhoto by Franklin Heijnen/Flickr\n5. Drinking Heineken the whole time.\nThere\u2019s no shame in drinking one or two Heineken on your trip to the Netherlands, but don\u2019t be afraid to try another Dutch beer. Venture out, drink something new and save the Heineken for when you want to reminisce about your trip once you\u2019re back home.\n6. Going full-on paparazzi in the Red Light District.\nWalk down De Wallen street and you\u2019ll find half-clothed women standing behind glass windows, surrounded by that notorious red light. What you decide to do in the Red Light District is up to you, but the one thing you absolutely should not do is take photos or videos of the women behind the windows. Follow the rules or you may find yourself in a bit of trouble with security.\n7. Not indulging in copious amounts of cheese.\nWant to have a Gouda time in Amsterdam? Make sure to visit one (or five) of the cheese shops that are scattered throughout the city. The shops offer a large selection of free samples of local cheeses like Gouda, made in its namesake town just an hour away. The unique cheese flavors, like truffle, garlic, lavender and pesto, are sampled alongside a variety of mustards (sounds like a weird combo, but it\u2019s actually delicious). Stop by the Cheese Museum (which is really more of a shop disguised as a museum) to learn about the history of cheese making while you snack on the exhibits.\n8. Taking a taxi.\nTo get from the airport to the city center, take an Uber rather than a regular taxi, which could cost twice as much. Once you\u2019re in the main area, there\u2019s no need to hop in a car. The city is very compact, so walk, bike, or take a tram instead. Many hotels offer complimentary bicycles or will rent them out for a small fee.\n9. Eating like a tourist.\nPlease don\u2019t fly all the way to Amsterdam to eat at the Hard Rock Cafe. There are so many delicious options that this city has to offer. Did you know that one of the must-try cuisines in Amsterdam is actually Indonesian? Indonesia was a colony of the Netherlands for hundreds of years before gaining its independence in 1949, so there\u2019s a substantial influence in town. Try a Rijsttafel, which literally translates to \u201crice table\u201d, for a big feast containing a spread of more than a dozen small dishes.\n10. Skipping the I amsterdam card.\nIf you plan on visiting some of Amsterdam\u2019s museums, purchase the I amsterdam City Card and receive free entry to more than 60 museums and attractions. The card gives you unlimited access to Amsterdam\u2019s public transportation system and includes a free one-hour canal cruise, which definitely should be on your Amsterdam bucket list.\nPhoto by Juan Rubiano/Flickr\n11. Only visiting the big museums.\nThere are a handful of inexpensive museums that the I amsterdam card does not cover, but are worth a visit. Most of them can be toured in an hour and are a good place to pop in when you have some time to kill. Check out the Hash, Marijuana & Hemp Museum, the Museum of Prostitution, or the Sex Museum. When in Rome\u2026 err, Amsterdam.\n12. Packing giant luggage.\nPacking a large suitcase won\u2019t be a problem at most hotels. However, if you plan to stay at an AirBnB or small boutique hotel be prepared to lug your luggage up multiple flights of steep and narrow stairs. The staircases inside these tall, skinny homes are very tight, which makes carrying a large suitcase a real struggle.\nPhoto by Javier Melgar via Unsplash",

        "title": "A VERY PORKCHOP HALLOWEEN: EXQUISITE PAIN: THE STORY OF CANDYMAN \u2013 The PORKCHOP EXPRESS",
        "raw_content": "A VERY PORKCHOP HALLOWEEN: EXQUISITE PAIN: THE STORY OF CANDYMAN\nWritten By: Ryan Long\nEDITOR\u2019S NOTE: This review is broken up into sections. The first section is spoiler free and provides a synopsis of the first part of the film; the remainder of the review assumes you have already seen the film, so proceed with caution.\n\u201cThe point of a horror film is not a big budget. The point of a horror film is transgression and fear, and there\u2019s something very powerful if you can frighten people, particularly at a certain age in their life, in their early teenage years, they\u2019ll never forget it. They\u2019ll carry that with them.\u201d \u2014Bernard Rose, screenwriter/director of Candyman\nThe Writing On The Wall: A Short Synopsis\nChicago in 1990s America. Towering luxury condos housing well-off urban professionals share the skyline with the high-rise projects of Cabrini-Green, * where the residents are imprisoned in a virtual hellscape pervaded by poverty and crime. In reality, these two places are barely a mile apart. Economically and culturally, they might as well be separated by the Grand Canyon.\nStraddling these two disparate worlds is Helen Lyle (Virginia Madsen), a graduate student completing her thesis on urban legends. A chance encounter with two cleaning women at her university leads her to the notorious Cabrini-Green housing projects, where there are have been persistent rumors of gruesome murders committed by someone known as the \u201cCandyman\u201d. Eager to prove herself to her college professor husband, Trevor (Xander Berkeley), Helen ventures into Cabrini-Green with her fellow grad student, Bernadette (Kasi Lemmons). There, they discover the walls covered with unique graffiti including a colorful slogan which reads, \u201cSweets to the sweet\u201d. Helen and Bernadette explore the empty apartment of the most recent murder victim and find a crawl space behind the bathroom mirror. Helen enters to investigate and finds a monstrous wall sized portrait of a black man\u2019s head, his face contorted in an angry scream, his mouth serving as the entryway to the room. Directly beneath this ghastly sight, Helen finds a pile of candy left for some unknown purpose. Enclosed in each piece of candy is a razor blade.\nExiting the apartment, the two women meet and befriend one of the Cabrini-Green residents, Anne-Marie (Vanessa A. Williams), a young woman raising an infant. After getting past her initial distrust, Anne-Marie tells a tale of the night her neighbor was killed, and how she could hear the screams through the walls. She tells Helen and Bernadette that she called 911, but nobody ever came. Later that evening at a dinner with her husband and one of his academic colleagues, Helen is told the tragic story of the Candyman\u2019s origins.\nHelen eventually returns alone to the projects to document the hidden room with her camera. She stops by Anne-Marie\u2019s apartment to speak with her, but a young boy named Jake (Dejuan Guy) informs Helen that Anne-Marie is not home. Helen prods the boy for information on the murdered resident, but Jake refuses to talk and explains to Helen that if he does, he believes the Candyman will come to get him. Helen tries to assure Jake that the Candyman is not real, but Jake is steadfast in his belief. Helen then asks Jake to take her where the Candyman resides, so he leads her to the public restrooms located on the Cabrini-Green grounds. While outside the restroom, Jake regales Helen with yet another tale, this one of a mentally retarded boy who was found in the bathroom with his genitals mutilated, supposedly by the Candyman. Helen enters the facilities and finds the slogan \u201cSweets to the sweet\u201d, this time written in feces, with an arrow pointing the the final stall. She opens the toilet in the final stall only to find it filled with honeybees. Helen starts to exit the bathroom when an imposing individual appears before her with a longshoreman\u2019s hook held in his right hand, claiming he is the Candyman. Helen realizes he is a local drug dealer and tries to bargain her way out, but the man and his gang beat her bloody and leave her lying on the bathroom floor, where she is found by Jake.\nThe action picks up at police headquarters, where a battered Helen picks her assailant out of a lineup. The detective working the case tells Helen about her attacker\u2019s violent history and attributes the recent string of murders to him. Helen meets Jake in the lobby, who is angry about Helen going to the police and still believes the Candyman will take revenge on him. Helen explains that the Candyman is just \u201ca story, like Dracula or Frankenstein. He\u2019s not real.\u201d Jake hesitatingly begins to believe Helen.\nSome time later, Helen returns to the university, her injuries mostly healed, and is eager to resume her research. It is at this point that the real Candyman (Tony Todd) appears to her, claiming that Helen\u2019s undermining of his legend obliged him to appear. Helen\u2019s world is turned upside down as the Candyman begins to lay a grisly trail of carnage at her feet and she is accused of committing murder. But what Helen does not realize is that her part in the legend is bigger than even she could have anticipated, and that Candyman has his own designs for her\u2026\n\u201cBelieve In Me\u201d: Making Candyman Reality\nCandyman began its life in the form of a novella written by the famous English horror/fantasy writer Clive Barker in 1985 for inclusion in his well-known Books of Blood anthology. In this story, a graduate student studying graffiti at a dilapidated council estate in Liverpool gradually becomes enveloped in the myth of a hook-handed killer known as \u201cthe Candyman\u201d who supposedly haunts the grounds. Barker\u2019s writings would become a hot show business commodity the following year when Hellraiser (1986) hit cinemas, introducing horror audiences to otherworldly pleasure-seeking beings called Cenobites, the leader of whom would go on to become a horror film icon affectionately known as \u201cPinhead\u201d. While in L.A. in 1990, through a mutual agent Barker met Bernard Rose, a director and fellow Brit who had made a feature in 1988 which Barker admired called Paperhouse. Rose wanted to do a socially conscious horror film as his next project; he brought up the idea of adapting Barker\u2019s story, and Barker approved, agreeing to act as executive producer. Thus the legend began\u2026\nAny talk about the strengths of Candyman as a film must begin with its leading man. From the beginning of his involvement with the project, Bernard Rose, who would serve as both writer and director, had an actor in mind for the title role whom he had seen co-starring with John Lithgow in a little known TV movie called The Last Elephant (1990). That actor, Tony Todd, had been knocking around Hollywood for a few years in supporting roles in projects such as Oliver Stone\u2019s Platoon (1986), with his most prominent role having come as the male lead in the 1990 remake of Night of the Living Dead. A classically trained actor who retained a love of Shakespeare, Todd\u2019s unique screen presence, command of language and his deep distinctive voice\u2014more on that in a moment\u2014were a perfect fit for the poetic, elegant menace of the title character. With his offbeat good looks, Todd was handsome enough to believably enthrall Helen in the character\u2019s more romantic moments, while unnerving enough to truly frighten the audience when required. Deeply invested in the role, Todd rewarded Rose\u2019s faith with an iconic, committed performance. **\nAlthough the sci-fi and horror genres have received much flak over the years for often relegating female characters to sexist damsel-in-distress roles, it can also be argued that these same genres\u2014in the hands of filmmakers interested in deconstructing those stock female stereotypes\u2014offer talented actresses some of the most complex, multifaceted roles out there for women. It was in this vein that Rose offered the role of Helen Lyle to actress Virginia Madsen (Dune [1984], Highlander II: The Quickening [1991]), who had been a friend of Rose and his wife Alexandra when they first discovered the Clive Barker story that inspired the film. The original idea was for Rose to direct his wife Alexandra, who was also an actress, in the role of Helen, but after she became pregnant the role was offered to Madsen, who made the most of her opportunity. In Madsen\u2019s hands, Helen is smart, driven and capable, yet insecure in some fundamental way. She longs to be accepted among her husband Trevor\u2019s academic peers, but denies the plain truth of his philandering. She is strong-willed enough to travel into a dangerous neighborhood to conduct her research, but she is also somewhat easily manipulated, first by Trevor, then by Candyman. In short, she is a flawed, well-rounded character which, for an actress working in the horror genre, is a rare gift indeed. Madsen matches Todd well in her expressive capacity; for all of Candyman\u2019s otherworldly allure, watching Madsen as Helen is no less compelling.\nRose uses every cinematic trick in the horror film manual\u2014jump scares, flash frames, unusual angles\u2014to make Candyman feel like a uniquely unsettling film, and he mostly succeeds, employing such techniques tastefully and judiciously enough that each occurrence feels fresh instead of clich\u00e9d. Rose and editor Dan Rae (Immortal Beloved [1994], Rasputin [1996]) combine their efforts to bestow the film with a hypnotic rhythm, punctuated by jagged bits of clinical hyper-realism (e.g., Helen photographing the hidden room at Cabrini; scenes set at police headquarters or the psychiatric facility). Every part of Candyman works towards building the feeling that the world is not quite real, and that includes the masterful score by avant-garde composer Philip Glass. Glass\u2019 work for the film is intricate, evocative and haunting. In its grander sections it sounds like the lost background music of a deranged 19th century carnival (roughly contemporary with the period in which the title character was alive), complete with freakish delights and macabre visions. And yet at the heart of it is a simple piano melody that plays like a lullaby written for a stillborn child.\nPerhaps most impressive is the innovative sound design by Nigel Holland (Braveheart [1995], Batman Begins [2005]), used to great effect from the very first post-title scene. The film proper begins by feeding off of the primal fear of honeybees, filling the world (and the screen) with their inhuman droning buzz as Tony Todd\u2019s voice\u2014which sounds equal parts lulling and abrasive, like slates of granite sliding against each other\u2014promises unspeakable horrors to come. Todd\u2019s voice, one of the film\u2019s secret weapons, seems to come from everywhere and nowhere each time his character speaks. Candyman\u2019s victims suffer horrific fates as they are dismembered, disemboweled and decapitated, but the sound work enables the filmmakers to save time and money on typical horror movie gore; graphic, dreamlike imagery works hand in hand *** with visceral sound effects to the point where more carnage is heard and felt offscreen than actually depicted, leaving the viewer\u2019s imagination to do the dirty work. In a film where much of the horror is psychological, it\u2019s a brilliant conceit, making the watcher complicit in bringing the legend to life.\nRose\u2019s literate, thoughtful script marries Barker\u2019s original exploration of the old hook-handed killer trope to that of the Bloody Mary legend, adding both some cinematic value and narrative convenience with the use of mirrors as a summoning device. He also carefully builds anticipation for the appearance of the title character, who doesn\u2019t show up in complete form until roughly halfway through the film\u2019s tight 99-minute running time, and aptly floats into the picture as if walking out of a dream. This is not a killer who stalks relentlessly, \u00e1 l\u00e0 Jason Voorhees or Michael Myers; he doesn\u2019t have to. Candyman saunters; he seduces. And Helen, his would-be victim, responds almost willingly. This is a film that explores several ideas; indeed, in a way, Candyman explores the very idea of ideas; **** that is to say, the power of belief to bring ideas to life. Is it really a malevolent entity committing these brutal acts, or is it Helen? Ultimately, the film seems to decide that the question isn\u2019t all that important. Helen believes Candyman is real and the community believes he is real; hence, he is real, whether originally a product of her imagination or not. For her part, Virginia Madsen\u2019s increasingly unhinged performance seems to suggest that Helen might in fact be capable of such acts, and the film gives plenty of hints to that end. Check the look in her eyes as she confronts her unfaithful husband Trevor after escaping from the mental hospital. Chilling.\n\u201cBe My Victim\u201d: The Racial Politics of Candyman\nStop me if you\u2019ve heard this one: America has a troubling racial history.\nIt could easily be assumed that something explosive was in the air in early \u201890s America. Candyman was released in 1992, the same year as the Rodney King verdict and the L.A. riots. It was a watershed moment for race relations in America. Tensions over systemic racism and police brutality boiled over into the streets (sound familiar?); at the same time, artistic portrayals of the African-American experience were undergoing a cinematic resurgence, with Spike Lee\u2019s seminal Do The Right Thing (1989) hitting theaters three years prior, and John Singleton\u2019s Boyz In The Hood (1991) having been released the year before. The time was ripe for genre films that presented racial conflicts in a relatively honest manner. The best horror films at their heart have a tendency to address social issues in their subtext, i.e. George Romero\u2019s Dead movies; Candyman removed them from subtext and placed them front and center, not unlike a giant face screaming out of a wall.\nIn doing research for this entry, I re-read \u201cThe Forbidden\u201d, the original Clive Barker short story upon which the film is based. Although I had read the story before, I was shocked to be reminded how much of the plot of the film is contained within the original story. The exploration of class issues, along with urban legends and their representation of humanity\u2019s very real capacity\u2014and need\u2014for violence, are all present in the novella. But in a stroke of genius, Rose and Barker mutually decided to relocate the setting of the story from a sordid council estate in England to Cabrini-Green, a real-life inner city housing project in the American city of Chicago, notorious for its criminal activity and squalor. *+ Where he had no origin in the Barker story, Candyman\u2019s legend is given a compelling history in the film, set at some point in the late 1800s. Born the son of a slave who later became a wealthy freedman, Candyman**+ was raised as an educated, cultured artist who later tragically fell in love with and impregnated the daughter of a wealthy white landowner. For this love, he was chased by an angry mob through what later became Cabrini-Green to an apiary, had his hand cut off and replaced by a hook in a grotesque mockery, and was tortured to death by bees after being slathered with honey\u2026all in sight of his lover. *+++\nIt was only fitting that such a powerful entity should be born out of such pure love, and such abject hatred. By placing the story in the context of America\u2019s bloody, haunting racial history, this version of the hook-handed maniac goes from merely chilling to having a believable potency\u2014and indeed, a measure of sympathy that most horror villains don\u2019t get. ***+ This new origin and the decision to root the story in real-life horror lends urgency and a chilling logic to the forces that drive Candyman\u2019s tortured ethereal existence. What is one murderous phantom compared to the specter of racism in America? In making the character\u2019s origin based on an incident of murderous racial hatred (which was precipitated by an instance of interracial love), the themes of the story\u2014the power of imagination, the fear and allure of the unknown\u2014are wedded to and mirrored by the African-American experience, in a society where black people are simultaneously feared and admired, hated and loved by their former captors and present neighbors.\nThe socioeconomic plight of the inner city African-American community looms large over the story, giving the film an underpinning in reality. Rose is careful to avoid stereotyping the ghetto residents, painting them as real people living in a nightmare. More perceptively, he is careful not to judge their collective belief in something so seemingly ridiculous as a malevolent hook-handed spirit haunting the projects, tacitly framing their belief as a necessary evil. After all, when you\u2019ve got Candyman roaming through your walls, living in squalor and dodging bullets and drug dealers during your daily life doesn\u2019t seem quite so terrible. The film also isn\u2019t shy about examining the racial hypocrisy concerning the treatment of Cabrini-Green, which at the time of its existence was practically connected to affluent downtown Chicago. As Anne-Marie tells Helen and Bernadette, the residents of the projects don\u2019t see white people come through there too often, and the ones that do come through\u2014mainly cops and social workers\u2014aren\u2019t too friendly. In a canny bit of dialogue, when Helen later in the film hears that the police went in and shut down the entire complex to find her assailant after she was attacked, she bitterly muses that a white woman being attacked in the projects provoked a greater law enforcement response than any of the black residents who were savagely murdered. Then, of course, more observant viewers can draw their own conclusions about the preferential treatment Helen receives after her first murder arrest, treatment that most African-American suspects certainly would not receive.\nThe opinion that Candyman is a racially progressive horror film is by no means a universal one; as with most things concerning the topic of race, opinions can be as varied as the skin tones of those who hold them.****+ Helen ultimately coming off as a white savior is an arguably valid interpretation; after all, she does save Anne-Marie\u2019s baby from the bonfire and seemingly saves the \u201cpoor, benighted black folk\u201d by sacrificing herself. In the film\u2019s troubling ending, we see that Helen has even usurped Candyman in legend; she has taken his place as the one who is whispered about in the corridors of Cabrini, the one whose story is drawn in murals on the walls. Finally, in death, she is able to pay back her double-dealing husband for all of his betrayals. Leaving aside the worrying implications of a downtrodden African-American congregation living in mortal fear of a white woman, the ending\u2014which is undeniably satisfying for Helen\u2019s character, even as it makes her seem kind of petty\u2014supplants the most interesting character, a black man, in his own freaking movie. As a viewer of color, it is all too easy to watch this series of events unfold and think, \u201cShit! Black people can\u2019t even have the afterlife!\u201d\nHowever, the filmmakers evince enough sensitivity and nuanced understanding that one is inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt. After all, if Helen is indeed the reincarnation of Candyman\u2019s true love, then perhaps he would not begrudge her his place in immortality. Because after all, if she lives on, then a part of him will go on too.\n\u201cWe Must Be On Our Way, You And I\u201d: Conclusion\nCandyman\u2019s reputation as a film has only grown with time. It received excellent reviews (particularly for the horror genre) when it came out, and it remains a high watermark for intelligent psychological horror films. ****++ Still, I can\u2019t help but feel that the picture has not yet received its full due. As a horror icon, Candyman\u2014perhaps due to his sheer intelligence\u2014has not reached the storied heights of Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, Michael Myers, Pinhead and others. He will always have a place in history as perhaps the most prominent African-American character in horror\u2014with all due respect to Blacula\u2014but as much as I hate the idea of watching the movie again, or I\u2019m given a nasty jolt whenever I randomly encounter an image from the film on a movie page\u2014I have to say, he deserves to be bigger. He should be everywhere. The original is that good; the sequels\u2014particularly the third entry starring Donna D\u2019Errico, of Baywatch fame\u2014did the character\u2019s standing no favors. A proposed third sequel, to be written and directed by Bernard Rose, has been rumored for years.\nAt this point, I need to thank Dan for allowing me to write this essay for PCE. When he first broached the idea of me writing something on a horror movie for Halloween, this was my first and only choice. After all, if you\u2019re gonna write 3000 words for a movie, it better be one that makes you feel something, and I can honestly say Candyman had an effect upon my life like no other film did. The film scarred me for years****+++ but I hoped that by writing this article and really picking the movie apart, I would exorcise some of the old ghosts lurking in my head, the ones that still make me twitch when I\u2019m at my most exhausted and hallucinatory, the ones that occasionally haunt my dreams twenty-five years after my initial viewing. It is only in the last few years, as I have had a child of my own, that I have really been able to begin looking at the film with a clear, objective eye. And even then, I remained a little unnerved at the thought of watching it again for this article.\n(Especially since there is a giant mirror on the wall behind me as I write said article. Sheesh.)\nFor better or worse, Candyman is a film that has stayed with me through my entire life. I guess you could say\u2026 I\u2019m a believer.\n* The filmmakers made the bold choice of actually filming at the Cabrini-Green complex where, according to lead actor Tony Todd, five different gangs who controlled the drug markets there were paid off to not harass the film crew. A dangerous decision that added an undeniable level of realism to the story.\n** For the scene where legions of bees emerge from his character\u2019s mouth and torso, Tony Todd patiently endured having the bees crawl from his mouth for the shot. He later claimed to have been stung 23 times during that scene, but ultimately had no complaints as he was paid extra for each time he was stung!\n*** Hand-in-hook\u2026? Sorry.\n**** A theme which Bernard Rose explored to wonderful effect in his first film, Paperhouse (1988), another film in which a strong female protagonist walks the line between dark fantasy and reality.\n*+ The transplant is not entirely seamless: the bonfire which serves as the climax of the movie is more a relic of an English harvest festival and doesn\u2019t really fit the new American setting. But it serves its thematic purpose, allowing Helen to sacrifice herself for Anne-Marie\u2019s baby and be reborn as part of the very legend she once chased so doggedly.\n**+ Named in the sequels as Daniel Robitaille, the character is not referred to as anything except Candyman in the first film.\n***+ This backstory is presented to Helen and the audience entirely through the use of sound, a creative way to make an impact on the viewers\u2019 imaginations, and save money on what would likely have been a costly period setting. The story is also elaborated upon and fully shown in the underrated 1995 sequel, Candyman: Farewell To The Flesh\u2014directed by Bill Condon (Gods & Monsters [1998], Dreamgirls [2006], Twilight [2008])\u2014inevitably losing some of its power in the process.\n****+ Some notable exceptions are Dracula and Frankenstein\u2019s Monster\u2026both of whom, incidentally, Candyman is compared to in a line of dialogue from the film. Dracula in particular shares a bond with Candyman as a terribly romantic movie \u201cmonster\u201d, who also was in a pretty famous movie in 1992.\n****+ My own mother, who claimed to barely remember the film, resisted giving her opinion about it until pressed. She admitted that she thought it was stupid, and that she dismissed it as another\u2014to use her words\u2014 \u201cWhite woman is the desired object\u201d type film.\n****++ Candyman was one of numerous psychological horror films in the early \u201890s that rode in on the wave of critical and commercial success enjoyed by The Silence of The Lambs in 1991. The film\u2019s initial poster played heavily off of Lambs\u2019 memorable artwork; both featured close-ups of eyes set in a deathly pale face as a distinctive insect crawls over it. Interestingly, proponents of the \u201cHelen did it all\u201d theory often point to this original Candyman poster\u2014in which the killer stands at a shadowy remove within Virginia Madsen\u2019s eye\u2014as \u201cevidence\u201d that the vengeful spirit existed entirely within Helen\u2019s mind. The main artwork has since been updated to remove this ambiguity.\n****+++ I saw this film much, much too young, at nine years old. Certainly had a bad effect on a biracial kid with an overactive imagination who wasn\u2019t ready to start contemplating questions about his own identity.\nPosted in A VERY PORKCHOP HALLOWEEN\nPrevious A VERY PORKCHOP HALLOWEEN: SCANNERS\nNext A VERY PORKCHOP HALLOWEEN: CUBE",

They were both founded in 1842, but Hollins was an \u201cinstitute\u201d and a \u201cseminary\u201d before finally becoming Hollins College in 1911, the first chartered women\u2019s college in Virginia.\nRoanoke College history department head Mark Miller and his wife, Linda, the school\u2019s archivist, bring up the point in casual conversation, then smile that \u201cit doesn\u2019t really matter, does it?\u201d and move on to the next topic. Hollins, however, has been far more sensitive to the point over the years, perhaps due to its 19th and early 20th century financial struggles and its difficult battle for accreditation in the 1930s.\nRegardless of the fine points of the argument\u2014if you want to call it that\u2014the fact is that Hollins and Roanoke are the Roanoke Valley\u2019s two prominent liberal arts colleges and neither is in the City of Roanoke. Roanoke College is firmly in the center of Salem and Hollins is in \u2026 well, Hollins, a division of Roanoke County, an area named\u2014as the school was\u2014for a couple of prominent benefactors.\nIn recent years, both schools have outstripped expectations and traditional roles. Hollins\u2019 goal initially was to produce competent wives, who could hold up their end of a discussion while simultaneously cooking a scrumptious beef burgonionne for 20. Quiet Roanoke College has become anything but during the past 20 years and has had a flurry of impressive growth\u2014including a lot of new, big buildings\u2014of late. That means a steady stream of alumni gifts and spectacular fund-raising success.\nMike Maxey took the reins at Roanoke College in 2007 after Nancy Gray accepted the presidency of Hollins in 2004. Both were the 11th presidents of their schools (not counting interim appointments). He had never been\u2014nor even aspired to\u2014a presidency. Gray accepted the presidency of women-only Converse College in South Carolina five years earlier, basically to \u201csee if I could be a college president,\u201d she says now. She became convinced of the value of women\u2019s colleges.\nMaxey had been brought in by President Norm Fintel, whose legacy was expansion and fund-raising, because he showed promise in that regard. He was good at it, but as important, he was roundly liked and respected, so his appointment to the top spot was enormously popular.\n\u201cThe first big fund-raiser in 1989,\u201d he says, \u201chelped define\u201d what was coming for Roanoke. \u201cIt was far and away the biggest we\u2019d ever done.\u201d Programs and faculty reached heights never before imagined. \u201cIt made us see ourselves differently,\u201d he says. The college \u201cwas in great shape when I got here,\u201d and it has improved almost exponentially since then.\nNancy Gray has seen considerable advancement for women in our culture, but despite \u201cmore women in law, medicine, Congress,\u201d there is \u201cstill the invisible ceiling that has not been broken.\u201d Women are underrepresented in the STEM disciplines, she says, and Hollins is intent on making a difference there. Women\u2019s colleges\u2014Hollins specifically\u2014make a difference \u201cby instilling confidence and leadership\u201d in their graduates.\nShe has also seen a questioning of the value of college, especially when escalating costs are considered. \u201cHow do you pay for it? Is it worth [the cost]?\u201d she asks. \u201cWe have to make the case in a stronger and more profound way than ever\u201d as a college intent on producing leaders.\nThe Batten Institute at Hollins, which was begun under interim president Walter Rugaber in 2001, has been wildly successful in training women for business leadership. Hollins, generally, is \u201cpreparing students for jobs that don\u2019t yet exist, technology that\u2019s not yet there.\u201d\nGray earned considerable statewide\u2014and perhaps national\u2014recognition for Hollins\u2019 performance during the deep recession of 2008 and beyond. Maxey calls it \u201cone of the great stories of Virginia\u201d financial sophistication.\nGray likes to quote former President John A. Logan Jr. (1961-1975) with an observation that could equally apply to Roanoke College: \u201cHollins never had any money, but always found a way.\u201d\nCharles Lewis Cocke knew from the time he was a teenager that he wanted to concentrate his life\u2019s work on the \u201chigher education of women in the South.\u201d By the time he was 25 in 1846, the Richmond math instructor had been appointed principal of the four-year-old Valley Union Seminary in Botetourt Springs, the original name of the site of the present campus. He showed up with a wife and 16 slaves in tow and almost immediately established a school for the area\u2019s slaves, teaching them to read.\nThe original co-educational institute was established by Rev. Joshua Bradley in 1842. In 1851, Cocke closed the school\u2019s men\u2019s department, and in 1852, established the Roanoke Female Seminary. Three years later, it was renamed Hollins Institute (after donors John and Ann Halsey Hollins).\nHollins College became Virginia\u2019s first chartered women\u2019s college in 1911 and by 1958, it was offering graduate programs. Hollins achieved university status in 1998.\nCocke\u2019s educational philosophy, basically, was based upon the \u201cSouthern sensibility that a lady was to be trained to submit to the order of men.\u201d He also wrote that \u201cyoung women require the same thorough and rigid mental training as that afforded to young men,\u201d which is considerably closer to the modern Hollins. Under Cocke\u2019s presidency, \u201cThe school became the first in the United States to begin a system of elective study, and it was the first to establish an English department under a full professor,\u201d according to a 1932 Time magazine article.\nHollins struggled financially\u2014though not academically\u2014well into the 20th century, and before the Civil War used slaves to maintain and build a good bit of its campus, a sore point to some today. Cocke\u2019s 45-year-old daughter, Matty, took over the presidency upon Cocke\u2019s death at 81 in 1901, the family actually owning the school outright at that point. Matty Cocke, Virginia\u2019s first woman college president, hated fund-raising and the school had no endowment because it was owned by her family. That meant financial hardship.\nIn 1932, after considerable wrangling, the Cockes released the school to a board of trustees and Matty Cox resigned. The school was then accredited.\nIn 1960, Louis Rubin instituted the Hollins writing program, which was to become the hallmark of the school\u2019s national reputation. The writer-in-residence program, one of the nation\u2019s first, was established a year earlier. In 2008, Hollins opened the Jackson Center for Creative Writing.\nHollins has produced Pulitzer winners Annie Dillard, Natasha Trethewey (also U.S. Poet Laureate), Mary Wells Knight Ashworth and Henry S. Taylor. Other writing grads of note are sportswriter Mary Garber, Man-Booker Prize winner Kiran Desai, \u201cGoodnight Moon\u201d author Margaret Wise Brown and noted author Lee Smith. More recent master\u2019s degree grads include author/journalists Beth Macy (\u201cFactory Man\u201d and \u201cTruevine\u201d) and Roland Lazenby (more than 60 books, including his latest \u201cShowboat: The Life of Kobe Bryant\u201d).\nHollins, which has neither a team nickname nor a mascot (the only college in the country with neither), has won 18 individual national horseback riding championships, two team national championships, and four individual national high point rider championships.\nRoanoke College\u2019s first president, David Bittle, was a thick, bearded man with piercing bright eyes, who looked more like a Mormon than a Lutheran. He once rode to Wytheville and drove a small herd of cattle back to Salem because food was running out for the students. President Mike Maxey loves to tell that story because he sees it as a measure of a man who wanted this small mountain college to succeed.\nThe school was founded in 1842 as Virginia Institute and was located near Staunton. Eleven years later, the Virginia General Assembly gave it a charter as Roanoke College, and Bittle, an original founder, accepted the presidency. His leadership was so strong that Roanoke was one of the few Southern colleges to remain open during the Civil War.\nThe early presidents were activists: Julius Dreher (1870s-1890s) was an internationalist who brought in students as varied as Choctaw Indians, Mexicans, Japanese and Koreans; John A. Morehead concentrated on expanding the physical plant in the 1910s; Charles Smith (1920s-1930s) expanded course offerings, majors and electives and boosted the size of faculty and students (to 200 for the first time).\n\u201cThe college struggled in the 19th century and peaked in the early 20th,\u201d says Mark Miller, author of the college\u2019s history, \u201cDear Old Roanoke.\u201d The school was established by Lutherans in an area that had few of that faith. \u201cIt was their attempt to move south,\u201d he says, but \u201cthe [Lutheran] enrollment never had a significant impact on that population.\u201d He says that \u201csome remarkable early presidents kept the doors open\u201d in the face of the near-impossible.\nBut by 1911, Roanoke \u201chad reached a pinnacle, ranking as one of the elite group of colleges in the South, with Sewanee and Richmond College.\u201d Enrollment was 220 and the faculty full of Ivy Leaguers. But that took a turn when academics at Roanoke began telling the truth about the Civil War, about slavery, and a third of the board resigned \u2026 Roanoke was \u201cbrought to its knees by 1920.\u201d The affiliated prep school was jettisoned in 1920. Thus began \u201ca century of rebuilding,\u201d says Miller.\n\u201cThe first 75 years,\u201d says college archivist Linda Miller, \u201cit was hand-to-mouth just to keep going. There was fund raising the whole time. \u2026 David Bittle and Julius Dreher would go north where the money was, local critics saying they didn\u2019t want the Yankee money.\u201d\nA bright light shone on Roanoke briefly when in 1939 Pop White\u2019s \u201cFive Smart Boys\u201d made the Final Four of the National Invitational Tournament in basketball, the original version of the NCAA tournament. Roanoke later (1970s) won national titles in lacrosse and basketball, but the NIT success marked it for many years.\nThe major push toward national recognition, though, started with Perry Kendig in the 1960s when enrollment took a leap from 800 to 1,250 and the faculty jumped to 65. Kendig was well-known for his support of the arts and a major regional award in the arts is given in his name annually.\nIn 1930, women showed up at the all-male school, primarily because the stock market crash put college out of reach for far more people than previously and it was already too expensive for most. Through World War II, women controlled much of life on the campus. WWII also was the death knell for a vigorous football program, the loss of which is lamented to this day.\nIn 1964, the college\u2019s first black student, Frankie Allen, a soon-to-be All-American basketball player, enrolled. Norm Fintel\u2019s presidency was marked by record-setting raising of funds to expand the campus, which resulted in Olin Hall, Bast Center, purchase of the Roanoke County Courthouse and acquisition of the old Elizabeth College campus. The library was overhauled and named for Fintel and his wife, Jo. Fintel, says Miller, \u201corganized a more modern\u201d college \u2026 \u201ca proper college\u201d and scholarships evolved from need-based to merit, which brought in high-end students. The academic comeback was underway.\nIn the 1990s, President David Gring added the Belk Fitness Center, Colket Center, Sutton Commons and renovations in several areas. Roanoke earned a prestigious Phi Beta Kappa chapter in 2002. Gring pushed for more interaction between students and faculty and created the Summer Scholar program. Sabine O\u2019Hara\u2019s brief term had a focus on integrative learning and establishing the undergraduate research assistant program. Kerr Stadium was also completed. \u201cAn aging 1960s complex was transformed,\u201d says Mark Miller.\nNear the end of the 20th century, two national scandals involving former Roanoke students\u2014John McAfee (1967 graduate) and John Mulheren (1971)\u2014erupted when Mulheren was implicated in the Ivan Bosky scandal. Mulheren\u2019s conviction was overturned and he remained a central supporter for years (his wife remains on the board). McAfee, a computer kingpin who amassed a fortune, ran for president (Libertarian, lost nomination) in 2016. He ran afoul of the law in Belize earlier, causing all kinds of difficulty, though he was never charged or convicted.\nMike Maxey took a job under Norman Fintel 35 years ago and finally rose to president, a job he never aspired to, he insists. But most involved with the college considered him the perfect choice at the time. His term began in 2007 and its impact has been of considerable measure: an intellectual inquiry core curriculum with 80 courses; Lucas Hall re-opened and four residencies were renovated. The Cregger Center, a mammoth athletic and entertainment complex, opened.\nBefore he retires (\u201cin four or five years\u201d) he fully intends to extend that record of achievement, one that has marked Roanoke for some time now.\n... for more from our March/April 2017 issue, Subscribe today, view our FREE interactive digital edition or download our FREE iOS app!",

        "raw_content": "October 2, 2018 Ajay Ghosh Politics, U.S. 0\nOn September 25, 2018, President Trump delivered his second address to the United Nations General Assembly. The speech was highly anticipated in light of President Trump\u2019s often skeptical view of international institutions and multilateral cooperation, as well as recent tensions over U.S.-China trade, the future of the Iran nuclear deal and talks with North Korea, rhetorical spars with U.S. allies in Europe and elsewhere, and more.\n\u201cWe will never surrender America\u2019s sovereignty to an unelected, unaccountable, global bureaucracy,\u201d U.S. President Donald Trump declared this week in his second UN General Assembly speech on September 25th. \u201cAmerica is governed by Americans.\u201d\nTrump was hardly the first U.S. president to make the point. George H. W. Bush put it positively in his 1991 address to the General Assembly, seeing international institutions as an asset in service of an international order \u201cin which no nation must surrender one iota of its own sovereignty.\u201d George W. Bush had a UN ambassador\u2014John Bolton, now Trump\u2019s national security adviser\u2014famous for his fierce defense of sovereignty.\nTrump\u2019s speech went around the globe reprimanding ungrateful allies, lambasting so called bad trade deals and criticizing other agreements that enabled the world to take advantage of America. \u201cThe U.S. will always choose independence and cooperation over global governance, control and domination,\u201d he said, defending his Administration\u2019s retreat from U.N. organizations like the International Criminal Court, Human Rights Council and a global compact on migration.\nTwo weeks earlier, when John Bolton announced that Washington would \u201cuse any means necessary\u201d to push back against the International Criminal Court, the body mandated by most of the international community to prosecute genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity. It was initially intended to act as a \u201ccourt of last resort,\u201d to step in when nations\u2019 legal systems fail. To Bolton, and now Trump, the court is a challenge to its constitutional authority.\nTrump believes that international collaboration has resulted in the U.S. being swindled. For decades, he said, the United States opened its economy with few conditions, allowing foreign goods from all over the world to flow freely across U.S. borders. Other countries did not grant that same access.\nWestern allies have not embraced the message of sovereignty, which has traditionally been pushed by states like Russia, China, Iran and North Korea as a self-defense tactic. U.N. Secretary-General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres, called on the international community to come together to help repair the broken trust. \u201cOur future rests on solidarity,\u201d he said. \u201cWe must reinvigorate our multilateral project.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Posted on September 21, 2015 September 29, 2015 by islandeditions\nAt the end of August, when I was packing to return to the trailer after having spent a few weeks visiting with the cats, my library, and a continuous internet connection, I decided to bring back a collection of DVDs to watch. We don\u2019t subscribe to cable TV at either place, but at least Bequia has the benefit of that internet connection and a wide selection of movies and TV series that we\u2019ve purchased over the years. While at the trailer, I\u2019d been borrowing videos from the public library in Kincardine for my dinner time and early evening hours viewing.\nAs with books and authors, I have my favourites I would never part with, those that I have watched, and would watch again, many times over. For me, they never get old. So, as is usual, while I was searching through the DVDs and deciding what to bring back with me, I created a list. Three lists, actually \u2026 in alphabetical order, because that\u2019s the way I roll.\nRemember, these are my selections. Your taste in movies may, and likely does, differ.\nTop Favourite Movies\n(I own copies of these movies, with the exception of *, have watched them each more times than I can count, and am always game to watch them again. Any time!)\n*Mediterraneo (We had this on video long ago, but it\u2019s never been released on DVD. We do have a digital copy.)\n(I own copies of most of these, have watched them each more than once, some many times.)\nLord of the Rings (all 3 in original series) 1, 2, 3\nWater (comedy set in the Caribbean)\nWhere the Buffalo Roam (Bill Murray IS Hunter S. Thompson!)\n(I own copies)\nPride and Prejudice (with Colin Firth)\nThese are essentially my favourite movies. I\u2019ve included all the IMDB links and urge you to check out any that may not be familiar to you. I believe my life has been the richer for having watched and enjoyed all of them.\nAnd I just know I\u2019m missing some other titles . . .",

GOW3 makes full use of its new system \u2014 this is easily one of the best-looking video games I have ever seen! It really is quite amazing to play through this trilogy in order, just to see how much it has improved over time, especially in the graphics department. The attention to detail is phenomenal. There were times when I was watching a cutscene in the game, didn\u2019t realize the scene was over, and stood there for a good minute before realizing that I was now in control. Seriously, this game looks THAT good. Kratos has never looked meaner, and the violence is gorier than ever before.\nAs always, God of War III opens with a huge fucking bang. Picking up right after the second game\u2019s cliffhanger ending, GOW3 starts with Kratos climbing up Mount Olympus in order to slay Zeus. This introduction is just unbelievable, as Kratos is fighting off enemies while riding on top of the giant Gaia, who in turn is slowly climbing up the mountain. Throw in a massive boss battle during this opening segment, and it rivals the insane boss fight with Colossus that opened GOW2. The game doesn\u2019t let up from this point either. There are epic bosses all over the place, including another batshit crazy battle against a Titan.\nThe core gameplay remains the same other than some small tweaks to the presentation. A handful of new weapons are introduced, including the ever-brutal Cestus which is acquired from one-tough-mother of a boss. The puzzles this time around are improved, and do not feel as out of place as the ones found in previous games occasionally did. Kratos\u2019s journey is full of action and literally takes him into the depths of Hell.\nIf I were to have a complaint about the game, it\u2019s that this is the shortest entry in the series. I finished the game in just over 8 hours, which is less than I spent playing the first two games. Still, I can\u2019t complain too much because the overall experience was just amazing. This is a game that I am proud to have in my collection, and it is one that I plan on replaying at some point in the future.\nSony really went all out with God of War III (even going so far as to have Kevin F\u2019N Sorbo do the voice of Hercules), and the result is that this is one of the best games of 2010. If this really is the end of the trilogy, GOW3 is one hell of a note to go out on. Simply an excellent game from beginning to end. Highly, highly recommended!\nPosted in: Video Games | Tagged: 2010, god of war, god of war III, hack n slash, kevin sorbo, kratos, ps3, scea, video games\nTrue Grit [2010]\nMild Winter [Goose Island Brewery]\n2 thoughts on \u201cGod of War III [Playstation 3, 2010]\u201d\nHoly shit, I had no I idea Sorbo voiced Hercules! That\u2019s AWESOME!\n9.5 is awfully appropriate for this one, really was a total blast to play through and those Cestuses were fucking nuts. Good review, looking forward to revisiting this as well.\nHaha yep, I was pretty surprised about Sorbo, too. They actually had some other noteworthy voice actors like Malcolm McDowell, Clancy Brown, Rip Torn and even Elijah Wood. Really strong cast, definitely made it more cinematic overall.",

        "raw_content": "Physician Assisted Suicide The mission of this hospital is rooted in our emphasis on the individual, and directed toward providing the highest level of autonomy, beneficance, comfort, healing, privacy and respect for the dignity of the patient. With these as our guiding principles, we evaluated Physician Assisted Suicide (PAS) as a possible treatment option at this institution. We have concluded that PAS can be a viable treatment option after making the following considerations: 1. Defing the elements of justified PAS, 2. Consideration of moral justifications, 3. Why personal autonomy is important, 4.\nInformed consent, and 5. The benefits of the approach of causitry to issues of biomedical ethics. The elements of PAS are an agreement between a physician and the patient on the treatment option after consideration of all other options, (informed consent) conditions consistant with the Oregon state law and the asurance of the agent choosing this course of action in an autonymous nature. Moral arguements question the validity of PAS as an option. We make the determination that PAS can indeed be considered equivelent to other medical decisions regarding whether or not continue treatment in cases where the prognosis is immenent death, or prolonged intense suffering followed by death.\nIf for example, a patient with a terminal illness such as lung cancer has a choice between hospice care, and being made comfortable, or PAS, we can not say that the two approaches are inconsistant with eachother. A patient who refuses treatment and accepts death as a consequence has the right self determination by law. If this action is acceptable under law, it is not unfair to consider PAS as an equivelent means to the same end. Therefore, there will be cases where PAS is most certainly a valid option for the patient. To reach our decision, it is important to understand our view of personal autonomy.\nWe will elaborate on it\u2019s relevance and worth in addressing PAS. Finally, criteria for PAS candidates is intricate, and established. Though we justify PAS as a viable treatment option, we do not take issue with the legal criertia established by the state of Oregon. Personal Autonomy Personal autonomy can be characterized as self-determination or the the extent to which an individual actively participates in in how his or her life is lived. Autonomy, therefore, requires some elements of control and choice.\nDefining autonomy in a being that is both rational and passionate can prove complex and problematic. A differentiation of first and second order volitions will help us conclude the what the exact nature of what defines autonomy. First-order desires are those passions to which the agent is subject to as a living being. The desire to live, procreate, feel secure and content are some examples of these desires. While they are certainly expressions of human passions, they do not account for man\u2019s rational capacity, a fundemental facet of human nature.\nSecond-order desires are wants about wants, or the desire to have certain desires. We will focus, however, on second order volitions, which differ from second order desires. Second order volitions involve the wish of an individual that certain first-order desires will motivate him to action. It is the rational choice of the agent which characterizes this, and therefore we will conclude that second-order volitions represent contemplation of a choice by the agent, which leads to a choice that by virtue of this process, is an indication of his true-self. Therefore, it is through these second-order volitions that we exercise autonymous action.1 The expression of rational choice in relation to a first-order desire is what we will define as the main component of an autonymous action.\nThere are those who would oppose this view in lieu of other moral considerations. If the agent has a lack information, or choices, the action in relation to the first-order desire is then no longer autonymous. Therefore, we will require that another dimension to autonomy is the range of options availible to the agent. In order to promote autonomy, it is absolutely essential that informed consent is a focal point of treatment. It is the concept of autonomy which is our guiding force in our formulation of a policy on PAS.\nPAS as a treatment option has no universal application. In Oregon, where it is legal, two patients with the same doctor, the same illness and the same prognosis can make opposite decisions regarding treatment. If one patient simply chooses to wait for death to occur after stopping treatment, and the other chooses PAS, both of these autonymous actions are therefore equal. They have the same end, and individual considerations of quality of life, and an array of potential first-order desires explain the difference in choices. Therefore, it is the execution of the choice by the informed agent which constitutes the autonymous decision.\nWith personal autonomy as the primary consideration, the patient then has the right to PAS as a treatment option, and denial is deprivation of self-determination. (Indeed this constitutes deprivation of freedom, which is intrinsically wrong, and contrary to the patients natural right to self determination. PAS in a Clinical Setting In relation to PAS, the agent must act \u201c1) intentionally, 2) with understanding, and 3) without controlling influences that determine their action.\u201d2 As an institution concerned with autonomy as a central right of the patient, we are supporters of requested withdraw of treatment (as well as PAS,) as there is no difference in the matter of allowing to die and killing. Killing is any form of \u201cdeprivation or destruction of life\u201d, and allowing to die is \u201cintentional avoidance of causal intervention so that a natural death is caused by a disease of injury,\u201d3 which in itself is deprivation. Therefore, there is no distinction between allowing to die and directly intervening to bring about a patient\u2019s death. Moral Jusifications Compassion is a focal virtue in our practice. Compassion is defined as a feeling of profound sympathy and sorrow for another who is affected by misfortune, accompanied by a strong desire to ease the suffering.\nSometimes in healing the terminally ill suffering from profound pain, assisting the patient in suicide is the only means of alleviating his/her suffering. Those who oppose PAS are not subject to judgement or coercion. PAS is a matter of choice and is not an alternative to be suggested by the physician. It is a procedure which is only regarded among request and acute investigation thereafter. Patients are protected from non-voluntary euthanasia because, again, physicians will only address the option of PAS upon the request of the patient and the physician cannot physically be the cause of the death (euthanasia).\nNo actions will act out of accordance with such, especially in situations of life and death. It is clear that opposition to PAS is rooted in the execution of normative judgements, which object to the action unequivically and universally. This view neglects the secular and universal standard of self-determination and autonomy in patient care. This is not a criticism of religous institutions which f \u2026\nThe United States At The Paris Peace Conference\nPrevious Post Chief Illiniwek\nNext Post Essay On Impulsiveness In Romeo Juliet",

        "title": "Theology Of Genesis 111 - Academic Help",
        "raw_content": "Theology Of Genesis 1-11 (A) Introduction Pentateuch is considered to be the most important part in the Old Testament. It recorded the account of creation, the fall of man, the Law Code as well as the experience of the Ancient Israel. Among them Genesis is the first book recorded incidents happened from the creation of the world to Joseph\u2019s time. In chapter one to eleven, the origin of the world and human race are introduced and in chapter twelve onwards are the stories of the Ancestors. In this passage, we will concentrate in discussing the theology of chapter one to eleven which contained much valuable and important message for the readers who were probably Israelites in post-exilic period (which would be discussed later).\nIn order to understand the text it is important to have some knowledge about the background of the readers as the author should compose his work under their background so that they may understand easily. Hence brief introduction of the background of Ancient Israelites and Genesis as well as its authorship would be given before we go into discussing its theology. The discussion will be within four topics \u2014(a) Yahweh has supreme authority and power, (b) Man\u2014as image of God, (c) Mankind\u2019s failure and God\u2019s reaction and (d) Creation\u2014a continuing process. (B) Background of Canaanites\u2019 Religion and Ancient Israelites Both Biblical record and archeological evidence showed that beside the Israelites, there were many other people living in Palestine. They included Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites, Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaim, Amorites, Canaanites, Girga*censored*es and Jebusites.\nIn this passage, they are all regarded as Canaanites. Basically, the Canaanites\u2019 religions are polytheistic. They believed in many gods in many different levels including those national god, functional gods and family gods or ancestors. In the following paragraphs, a brief introduction of Canaanites\u2019 religions would be given as a background for the studies of religion of ancient Israelites. Religion in Ancient Near East Although the gods they worshipped were different, tribes in Ancient Near East did have similar although not exactly the same doctrines. As mentioned above, their religions are polytheistic.\nEach god in their religion had different function and statues. They had different characters and might fight among themselves. We are going to discuss the religion in Canaan and Babylon as examples. One point must be noted is that the functions of the gods in Canaan are closely related to natural phenomena . For example, Baal Hadad was known as the thunder god who was responsible for raining.\nOther examples included El Elyon who was known as the sun god , Yamm who was the god of the sea and Mot who was the god of death . Some of the gods were related to daily life. For instant, Anath was the goddess of war and Astarte was known as the goddess of love and fertility and also of war. Another function of Baal was related to fertility. The Canaanites always explained natural phenomena using myths.\nThe alternation of the seasons and the death and renewal of vegetation were believed to be explained through the following myth. When Baal had his temple built, he sent a message to the god of death Mot in which he threatened Mot\u2019s life. After that there was a struggle between Mot and Baal and Baal was killed in the battle. After some times Baal\u2019s sister Anath went down to the underworld and defeated Mot. Baal was resurrected from death and returned to his power to bring about raining to the Earth.\nThe Canaanites believed that the death and resurrection of Baal happened every year. The defeat of Baal indicated the death of vegetation due to winter frosts or summer drought. The resurrection of Baal revealed the vegetation grew because of annual or seasonal flooding. In this myth, one could easily observe that other that a thunder god, Baal was also a god of fertility. In the sight of the people in Ancient Near East, men were just the slaves of gods.\nFor instance, in Babylon, people believed that mankind was created only because of the laziness of gods . The gods created men so that they could take over their work and serve them. The gods needed the sacrifice of men. However, due to the noise and din of men, Enlil, the King of the lands wanted to destroy men. Another god Ea brought about deliverance to Atrahasis in a series of plagues. Finally, Enlil sent a flood and again Ea warned Atrahasis who made a ship to save himself later.\nThe Gilgamesh Epic had another record of the flood story. When the gods sent a flood to the Earth, Ea warned Utanapishtim in Shuruppak and Utanapishtim built a ship to save himself and his family, together with all sorts of animals. The rain and storm continued up to the seventh day. The story told that the gods became hungry without sacrifice and repent for their decision. Utanapishtim sent out respectively a dove, a swallow and finally a raven.\nWhen the raven did not returned which indicated that the flood was gone, Utanapishtim went out and made a sacrifice. The gods then gather around him immediately indicated that they really needed the sacrifice from men. The flood story was very popular in the ancient Near East. One interesting point must be noted was that the record in the Gilgamesh was in a large extent similar to that in the Biblical account. We will go back to the story in Section E.\nThe Canaanites, as usual, using myth to explain the origin of the world. In the creation story of Canaanites\u2019 religion , the sea god Yam got the approval of El to attack Baal. However, Baal victor over Yam and seized his royal power. Sea was thought to be evil in the sight of Babylonians, Canaanites as well as Israelites. We could find examples in the Old Testament describing the struggle between Yahweh and the sea, for instance, Ps 77 : 16 \u2013 19 and also Isa 27 : 1. One of the creation myth stated that El was drunk during creation and so some deaf, blind and disabled people was created.\nThe Canaanites might use this kind of myth to explain the imperfection of human being. Background of Ancient Israelites When one read through the Old Testament, the text seems to tell us that Israelites were descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob who worshipped Yahweh as their God. Gen 12 : 1 stated that Yahweh told Abraham to leave his own country to where He would show him. It was strange that Abraham would know the name Yahweh in Haran in the North East of Canaan. There was no archeological fact showing that the name Yahweh was known in Haran, Ur as well as Canaan.\nThe Biblical text also showed that God appeared to Abraham was not using the name Yahweh. For instant, in Ex. 6: 3 we find To Abraham, Isaac and Jacob I appeared as El Shaddai, a general name of gods, El, was used. Living among the Canaanites, Abraham himself was no doubt full of their concept in religion. As mentioned above, the Canaanites were polytheistic and there was no idea about monotheistic, Abraham himself would not be exceptional.\nHis religious practices, for example, in making the covenant with God in Gen 15, Abraham split the animals down the middle was a common practice of the Canaanites when they made a covenant with their gods. Moreover, when Yahweh told Abraham to have his son sacrificed, he did not bargain with God since sacrificing sons was common in Canaanites\u2019 religion. As we read through the Bible from Judges to Kings, we may find that the Israelites would turn away from Yahweh and worshipped other gods easily. It would be strange if the concept of monotheism has been well developed. For instant, when a believer turned away from God nowadays, usually he would just believe in himself or simply not believe any religion.\nCases in which believers turned to believe in religions which are polytheistic were not frequent. The point was that once the idea of monotheism was fully developed, turning to worship gods like Baal, Asherah etc would mean to have a complete change in the concept of belief. It would not be so easy to change one\u2019s concept that has been developed since his childhood. However, it would be easily to explain the fact of Israelites turning away from God easily in Judges if their concept of religion were still polytheistic and Yahweh was only one of the god they worshipped. In such a hypothesis it was logical that they worshipped gods such as Baal and Astarte who were god of fertility in Canaanite religion.\nThe idea of polytheism of the Israelites before the exile could be clearly seen in Psalms, for example, in Ps 82 we found that Yahweh was giving judgement in the divine assembly, which was similar to El Elyon to rule over other gods in Canaanites religion. In Deu 32: 8 \u2013 9, the text described Israel was Yahweh\u2019s portion when the Most High (El Elyon) distributed the land among his sons. The king Manasseh had his son sacrificed through fire and built up image of Asherah (2 Kgs 21 :1ff). All these show that before exile the Israelites\u2019 mind was full of concept of Canaanites religions that are polytheistic. (C) Background of Genesis and Yahwists The origin and authorship of the Pentateuch has been discussed over past few centuries.\nMany scholars had different point of views and no final conclusion has been made. In this section, the writer is not attempting to argue and compare the reasons proposed by different scholars in this issue but to give his own viewpoint and reasons supporting for the sake of convenient in the discussion of the theology of Genesis in the later part of this passage. As we read through Pentateuch, the books seem to telling its readers that there are one and only one God ruling over the Earth. In other word, they are presenting a religion that is monotheistic. As we mentioned before, the Israelites had no idea about monotheism before the exile or at least till the late pre-exilic period.\nIt would be strange that such a monotheistic material was widely accepted and being kept if it was written in the period of monarchy during which people were full of idea of polytheism. Rolf Rendtorff rejected the idea of the traditional source criticism (JEDP) but he regarded the Pentateuch as basically the composition of Deuteronomists together with some priestly contribution. Erhard Blum views the priestly material as a correction of certain part of the Deuteronomistic theology. Unlike Rendtorff, he accepted the possibilities of some stories as tradition before the period of monarchy. Blum then drew a conclusion that the Pentateuch was a postexilic compromise between the thought of Deuteronomists and Priestly Reformers.\nIn Leviticus and Numbers, the holiness and uniqueness of God were stressed. The Israelites did not have such ideas until the return from exile in Ezra and Nehemiah\u2019s time. Together with the monotheism presented in the books mentioned above, the writer supports the viewpoint of Rendtorff and Blum that the Pentateuch we have now was actually finished in postexilic period. However, concerning about the authorship the writer has different viewpoint. In Genesis, we found many stories that are similar to those in religions of Ancient Near East, for example, the creation story and the flooding story (we will investigate in more detail in later part of the passage). However, in Deuteronomy no elements from Canaanites religion can be found whereas the identity of the Israelites as Yahweh\u2019s chosen one was stressed.\nMoreover, direct warning to Israelites was used when explaining the laws and urging them to observe the law instead of using stories. Deuteronomy and Genesis is quite different literally and the way the witness was made, the writer agrees to the point of view of Van Seters that Yahwist did exist and participate in the composition of the Pentateuch. Among the five books, Genesis to a large extend was the witness of the Yahwists. One strong evidence showing that the Pentateuch was a post-exilic composition was that some story in Genesis is similar to Babylonia stories but with modification. The flooding story is one of the examples.\nThe author and readers should know nothing about Babylonia culture till the exile. The implication was that its composition should not be earlier than the exilic period. In conclusion, the writers believed that the witness in Genesis was done by Yahwists which was later composite in the book Genesis we have today by some redactors. Nevertheless, the book as well as the witness itself should not be earlier than the late pre-exilic period after the discovery of Deuteronomy law in Josiah\u2019s time. The theology of Genesis discuss below is based on this hypothesis. (D) Purpose of Genesis Under the background of polytheism, people living in ancient Near East, including Israelites believed that each nation had her own national god. To the people of Judah, their national god was Yahweh (Deu 32: 8-9).\nWars between nations were understood as the struggle between the national gods. Under the hypothesis of Pentateuch being exilic or post-exilic composition, ideas such as Yahweh was defeated by gods of Babylon and that Yahweh was powerless in protecting them would by all means appear in the mind of the Israelites. In this circumstance, gods in Persia and their religions, which to the Israelites seems more powerful would be much attractive to them. In fact, in Nehemiah we can find Jews married wives from Ashdod, Ammon and Moab and their children even knew nothing about language of Judah. One of the priest even married the daughter of their enemy Sanballat the Horonites (Ne 13: 28).\nMarrying foreign wives and teaching children foreign language revealed invasion by foreign culture and religion. The author of Genesis tried to give a correct understanding of Yahweh to the Israelites at that time. The authority and power of God over the whole world could be seen in the witness. Moreover, attitude of God towards human being was also presented which differed to those in Canaanites and Babylonia religions. The explanation of man\u2019s suffering due to human\u2019s sin was also introduced. The message was clear \u2014 the poor experience of Israelites of being exiled was due to their sin but not that God was powerless. Furthermore, God\u2019s grace came upon usually following the punishment giving a hope to the post-exilic Israelites that God would never forsake them.\nFinally, the purposes of creation and the process were also described in Genesis 1 \u2013 11. (E) Yahweh has Supreme Authority As we have discussed above, the religion in Canaan was polytheistic and different gods had different function in their concept. Monotheism began to develop in Exilic and Post-exilic period. As monotheism was a new idea towards the audience, the author has used many stories and myths that were well known to present his idea. Sometimes myths from Canaanites or Babylonia religions with modification have \u2026\nPrevious Post Aristocracy In Britain\nNext Post Globalization",

        "raw_content": "Dolce Bellezza hosts this wonderful reading challenge and I've joined in for many of them over the past 7 years! I love this challenge for many reasons, but probably mostly for sentimental reasons. When I started blogging, I wasn't much of a reader, and could never really boast about what books I had read. But this challenge introduced me to some new genres, authors and content that I have really enjoyed. You can see some of my previous posts about these challenges here in my review pages.\nIn most of the previous years I consumed Murakami with a passion. Now I can really boast that I have almost read everything he's done - fiction and non fiction.\nSo this year I've sought out some different authors and styles - and have any another interesting and engaging experience of Japanese Literature. Snow Country, for me was a little weak on interest and plot - but was immensely beautiful in descriptors of the country, the activities and relationships. The author, (I found) Yasunari Kawabata was a Japanese short story writer and novelist whose spare, lyrical, subtly-shaded prose works won him the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1968, the first Japanese author to receive the award. His works have enjoyed broad international appeal and are still widely read. And this is something else I can boast - to have read a Nobel prize winner..\nMistress Oriku: Stories from a Tokyo Teahouse, by Matsutaro Kawaguchi, translated by Royall Tyler is set in Meiji-era Japan, this is the story of the sensitive, compassionate and indomitable Mistress Oriku. Formerly involved in the pleasure trades of Tokyo, Mistress Oriku leaves that life behind to run an elegant teahouse on the city's outskirts. But despite her hopes for a quieter, less hectic life, she finds she can't escape her involvement in the city's creative, intellectual and political circles [borrowed from Goodreads.com].\nI really enjoyed this story about an older women who knew her place in society and her influence, but also enjoyed the company of men. I was impressed by her character and a little envious of the Japanese Culture that allows women such a place.\n(sorry for the bad image).. The Temple of the Golden Pavilion, by Yukio Mishima, Ivan Morris (Translation). In The Temple of the Golden Pavilion, celebrated Japanese novelist Yukio Mishima creates a haunting portrait of a young man's obsession with idealized beauty and his destructive quest to possess it fully. [borrowed from Goodreads.com].\nBased on a real incident that occurred in 1950, The Temple of the Golden Pavilion brilliantly portrays the passions and agonies of a young man in postwar Japan, bringing to the subject the erotic imagination and instinct for the dramatic moment that marked Mishima as one of the towering makers of modern fiction.\nI haven't got anything good to say about this book - I never finished it. Too depressing. Again, that's something I've learned about Japanese writings - it can be all too real!\nI'm yet to finish all the stories in 'The Izu Dancer and other stories' but the Izu Dancer was written by Kawabata (the one who wrote snow country) and I can say his style was much the same in this short story. Very description, almost poetic for me, simple in structure, and based on the country side and activities of the everyday. See - now I can boast I've read two of his works!\nThis is on my e reader, so I pick up these stories when I'm on the train. I'm sure I'll get through the others soon.\nSo that's another episode of Japanese Literature Challenge hosted by Dolce Bellezza. See the challenge site here for all the other amazing entries.\nBefore I sign off though, I want to say a huge thank you to my fellow challengees because with out your wonderful reviews, I wouldn't know where to start on choosing my books. I look forward to joining you all again next Challenge (which usually start July through to January).\nAS much as I love Japan, I've always had trouble with Japanese literature -- but the one about the teahouse sounds like something I might be able to enjoy. I admire you for reading these -- I find Japanese literature styles a little more complicated for me to follow -- not sure why. So, three cheers for you and thanks for the recommendation!\nand a huge thanks to you, Tamara, for your lovely posts and involvement. I have read only six books myself, for my own challenge, and feel I've dropped the ball on being a host. Still, as you point out, the review site is a good place to go to find books with which to begin (or continue) one's love of Japanese literature.\nI really like the new look of your blog! xoxo\nAlso, can we expect a Paris in July Challenge again? I'm already anticipating that! With fingers crossed.\nI am ready and willing to host Paris in July 2014 - I'm note sure if Karen is prepared yet, so I could be looking for another co-host?\nShe (5eyedbookworm) said...\nI only discovered Murakami in 2013 and I consumed, digested and munched on five of his books last year. I'm not sure if I will read a book from this year but he's now one of my favorite authors. (What's your favorite book from him, if I may ask?) :)\nI haven't read the books you mentioned here but I've read some books from Natsuo Kirino, Banana Yoshimoto and Kenzaburo Oe.\nI really am looking forward to reading more Japanese literature this year. I've been delaying my reading of Kawabata's Snow Country for a long time now, maybe I should get to it ;)\nYou got through some heavyweights there. I've been meaning to try Mishima for a while but still haven't - I hear that he writes beautifully in Japanese. And I have a couple of books by Kawabata too. So maybe next year. I do urge you to try Shusako Endo although his novels are quite depressing too...\nI have not read much Japanese literature \u2013 I read a book by Yukio Mishima a long time ago. Right now I have been reading about Russia \u2013 Russian memoirs, etc. but then I did read about the big Russo-Japanese war of 1904-1905 that really started the Russians to be upset with the Tsar and culminated with the revolution ten years later.\nThanks for coming to my blog and to answer your comment the Galette des Rois is only served around January 6th or so \u2013 it used to be a religious tradition but, as most of those traditions in France, it is now just a French tradition. I did write a history on the galette last year on January 11, 2013 - http://avagabonde.blogspot.com/2013/01/our-galette-des-rois-and-more.html .\nIf you are looking for a co-host for the Paris in July challenge I would love to be considered!\nConfessions of a Chocaholic!",

This word is reserved for any air-borne thing that cannot be explained. Most people equate any UFO with extraterrestrial beings (also commonly known as aliens).\nMany people claim to have seen a flying object in so many parts of the world. Sometimes, experts have been able to offer explanations for this sightings, thereby debunking the claims. However, some UFO sightings still remain a mystery to this day.\nThe UFO phenomenon is not restricted to only one country or place. In fact, there have been UFO sightings in many parts of the world. Some eyewitnesses were able to take photos or capture videos as proof of what they saw.\nIn this article, we will be taking look at some of the most popular flying objects that made headlines globally.\nA resident of Kolkata claimed to have seen an UFO before the crack of dawn through the window of his apartment in 2007. The object stayed put until the early hours of the morning which allowed the man ample time to capture it on video. There was no fixed shape of this object, it first appeared to look like a white ball with flaming sides, later it changed to a cylindrical shape.\nThe location of this object was close to the airport but sources at the airport did not notice or record any such phenomenon.\nIn 2006, a group of airport workers at the O\u2019Hare International Airport reported seeing a metallic object in the shape of a saucer. This object was above a plane that was about to take off. Both pilots aboard this plane also saw this unknown object. Apart from these people, there were also eye witnesses to this event outside the airport.\nIn 2010, residents of Booysens in Pretoria claim to have spotted an UFO Sightings 2016. This object showed up two days in a row for a lengthy period of two hours each time. This object was stationary for most of the time and then it would move slowly down and disappear in the horizon.\nThe residents could not make out shape of the object, they could only see very bright, colorful lights. It didn\u2019t look like anything they had seen before. South African officials and experts could not offer an explanation for this event.\nHowever, the Federal Aviation Administration did not investigate this matter further and believed it was a phenomenon related to UFO 2016 caused by the weather.\nFor more information about UFO, visit UFO\nArticle Source: http://EzineArticles.com/expert/Vit_Pheanyoun/2121077\nhttp://EzineArticles.com/?Top-UFO-Sightings-Around-The-World&id=9340866\nThe Unknown What Did You See? ovni 2016, real ufo, real ufo footage, ufo, ufo documentary 2016, ufo sightings, ufo2016\nSunday, November 18, 2018 North Phoenix, Arizona ( Between...\nSeptember 6, 2018 Rod Washington\nUFO is a new dramatic feature that stars Alex...\nIndie Film Movie & TV Reviews News The Unknown\nAugust 9, 2018 TNC\nYELM, Wash., Aug. 9, 2018 / Last weekend Yelm...\nNews The Unknown",

        "raw_content": "A look back at the highlights from last year and what everyone was talking about.\nFranchise Culture\nIt seems like you couldn\u2019t turn around in 2018 without hearing someone talk about company culture. It\u2019s no surprise that tech companies such as Google and Hubspot were the pioneers of cultivating an over-the-top culture, but now the rest of the world is catching up and paying attention to what makes a positive culture and how it affects the success of a business.\nFrom the IFA\u2019s all new Operations Seminar to the 2018 (and 2019) IFA Convention, culture was, and continues to be a hot topic. Franchise executives recognize that the franchising model is unique when it comes to culture and with unemployment at all time lows, it\u2019s more important than ever to pay attention to franchise culture.\nCreating and Maintaining a Positive Culture\nDespite its critical importance, culture is frequently overlooked by those in leadership roles. Yet, at the end of the day, franchise leadership is responsible for the impacts (positive or negative) on productivity and profitability. Franchise Business Review\u2019s President Michelle Rowan and Roger McCoy, a Franchise Business Consultant, authored The CEO\u2019s Guide to Creating and Maintaining a Positive Culture in Franchising to help franchisors better understand how to drive real results by making culture a priority. Get your copy here.\nAligning Operations and Development\nOps and development teams are often under the same executive leader, yet operate with their own goals and objectives. When they come together, it can be a match made in heaven. The 2018 Performance Webinar Series tackled how to shift mindsets to grow your your organization by creating a common vision and shared goals. From how to measure employee engagement and create a positive workplace culture, to ensuring franchisee expectations are being met, the series delivered expert advice from some of the most successful franchise brands.

Consumers and search engines have become increasingly sophisticated, making the power of great content more important than ever before. With so much information floating around the Internet, it can be difficult to differentiate the content you provide to your audience from the rest. To be successful, franchise brands are going to have to make significant investments in content marketing.\nWhether you\u2019re just dipping your toe into content marketing or are looking for ideas on how to maximize your current efforts, this article offers tips specifically for franchisors on how to build content to attract more, and new, franchise candidates.

With an ultra-competitive job market and a booming economy, it wasn\u2019t just difficult to hire at the corporate level;,fewer people were deciding to take the risk to start their own business, leaving franchisors wondering how to find enough viable candidates to keep up with demand.\nWith franchisors all competing for a limited number of candidates, development teams need to get creative when finding new leads. One way to do that is to differentiate your brand and back up your sales and marketing efforts with third party validation. FBR offers practical ideas on how to accelerate development.

This article rounds up some of the best practices for emerging franchisors.

But as you grow, it can become harder and harder to keep those lines of communication open, or meet the growing demand for your attention. This article can help you keep those crucial relationships on track. Read more.\nWhen you think of innovation, what companies immediately jump to mind? Uber? Apple? Amazon? Tesla? While franchises aren\u2019t typically top of mind when it comes to innovation, there are many brands that are successfully pushing the envelope. In 2018, we took a look at that brands that are leading the franchise industry to adopt new ways of thinking.\nThe 100 Most Innovative Franchise Brands of 2018\nFBR analyzed 18 months worth of data from over 24,000 franchisees representing 280 brands. We asked franchisees about brand innovation and creativity within their systems, as well as overall satisfaction. See which brands are not just coming up with creative ideas, but are executing on those ideas \u2013 and keeping their franchisees highly satisfied in the process. See the List.\nToday\u2019s franchise candidates are coming into the development process more educated than ever before, and when they choose to speak to a brand\u2019s sales team, they expect more than a basic screening. Savvy franchisors are recognizing that they need to stay ahead of the curve to make that first call as effective as possible. This article dives into the innovative AI tools that are helping franchisors to drive prospect engagement early on and drive conversion rates. Read more.\nWe talk with dozens of franchisors every day, and one of the recurring themes is employee engagement. Culture is surely an important part of keeping employees happy and satisfied, but with the job market continuing to remain tight, it\u2019s going to be more important than ever to focus on employee engagement.\nWith the unique combination of a strong economy yet growth challenges, Franchise Business Review decided to conduct a first-of-its-kind study of corporate employees across the franchise sector, the [email protected] Employee Engagement & Compensation Study.\nThe full findings will be released in March, but some of the initial highlights indicate that overall satisfaction and engagement are very high, but areas of opportunity and risk remain \u2013 including the gender pay gap, lower satisfaction among customer-facing employees, and getting buy-in from millennials, to name a few.\nHigh employee satisfaction and engagement will clearly have a significant and positive impact on your organization in 2019 and beyond. Join us on March 14, 2019 for a free webinar when we\u2019ll release the full report and reveal the [email protected] award-winning brands.\nRelated Content: Free Planning Tool\nThinking about adding franchisee satisfaction surveys to your annual operating plan?

It was also the final full studio effort from the group, and what a way to bow out \u2014 there was practically no resemblance to the trash glam failures on Adolescent Sex anymore. Rather than repeat the sheer restraint on Gentlemen Take Polaroids, Tin Drum is an album of energy, Sylvian\u2019s singing still the decadently joyful thing it is, but the arrangements and performances tight, full, and active. The fusion of exquisite funk courtesy of Karn and Jansen\u2019s joined-at-the-hip rhythm section and a range of Asian music influences, from instrumentation to subject matter, combined with an even wider use of technological approaches to create the dramatic, sly songs on offer. Only the Talking Heads showed the same attempt at reach and variety at the time, at least in the Western rock world, but Japan arguably outstripped the New York band with its sheer sense of theatrical style. To top it all off, the band was more popular than ever, with \u201cGhosts,\u201d an appropriately haunting ballad notable for its utterly minimal arrangement, almost entirely eschewing beats for Barbieri\u2019s textures and Jansen\u2019s work on marimba, becoming a Top Ten hit in the U.K. The wound-up dancefloor art grooves of \u201cThe Art of Parties\u201d and especially \u201cVisions of China,\u201d the latter featuring what has to be Karnand Jansen\u2019s eternal highlight performance (check out Jansen\u2019s jaw-dropping drum break) were also notable efforts. Meanwhile, the evocation of Chinese culture in general continued with such songs as \u201cCanton,\u201d a slightly martial, stately march with clear inspiration from the country\u2019s classical music tradition, and the concluding \u201cCantonese Boy.\u201d\n1.

        "raw_content": "A will is a written legal document that disposes of a person\u2019s assets upon death. At a minimum in Florida, the will must be signed by the decedent and two witnesses. In order to be a self-proving will and avoid the necessity of searching for witnesses after the death of the decedent, a will must be signed by the decedent and two witnesses, must be notarized, and must contain specific language in accordance with the applicable Florida statute.\nIn general, a will provides for payment of legal debts and funeral expenses and disposes of assets of the decedent\u2019s estate after death. The will should also appoint a personal representative (Florida\u2019s term for an executor/executrix) of his or her choosing to administer the probate estate. Sometimes, it is advisable to set up a trust in a will, which is known as a \u201ctestamentary trust,\u201d for example, when the beneficiaries of the estate are minor children. In the event that a will contains a testamentary trust, the will would also appoint a trustee to hold the assets of the trust.\nIf the decedent\u2019s will disposes of all of the decedent\u2019s probate assets and designates a personal representative, the will controls over the default provisions of Florida law. If the decedent did not have a valid will, or if the will fails in some respect, the identities of the persons who will receive the decedent\u2019s probate assets, and who will be selected as the personal representative of the decedent\u2019s probate estate, will be as provided by Florida law which may differ from what the decedent had intended in the event he or she had drawn up a will.\nDon\u2019t let the State of Florida write your will for you.

Photos: Christina Pfeiffer\nIn Capilano River Regional Park, it\u2019s hard to believe you\u2019re only 10km from the centre of Vancouver\u2019s CBD. From Cleveland Dam, looking across Capilano Lake, the snow-capped twin peaks of The Lions loom large before you.\nThe park is one of the best places to visit in Vancouver for the views and tranquillity.\nAs you walk into the forest, the honking of cars and city noises are replaced by the roar of the river and wind whispering through the trees.\nThere are not many major cities in the world that are right on the doorstep of nature.\nVancouver certainly fits this description.\n15 minutes from the city\u2019s skyscrapers, you could be bathing in the healing energy of the forest.\nWatch this video to learn the hidden language of the trees in Capilano River Regional Park and how man and nature can work in harmony.\nTalking Trees Tour \u2013 Capilano River Regional Park\nThere\u2019s a magnificent view of \u201cThe Lions\u201d across Capilano Lake at Cleveland Dam at Capilano river regional park.\nVancouver\u2019s North Shore is more than just a spectacular backdrop for the vibrant harbour city. Cougars, coyotes and bears pay occasional visits to people\u2019s backyards.\nPods of orcas swim close to the shore.\nThe mountains and forests were where the Coast Salish people \u2013 Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh \u2013 lived off the land.\nOver time, the Coast Salish people developed a relationship with nature and the land. So, learning about the way of life of British Columbia\u2019s First Nations peoples will add a rich dimension to your Vancouver visit.\nWhile on a hike with First Nations storyteller Candace Campo (whose ancestral name is Xets\u2019emits\u2019a) and her cousin Erica from Talaysay Tours, I discover Vancouver\u2019s connection with nature. The tour in Capilano River Regional Park is a sharing of rich stories and ancient lore.\nThe Lions at Capilano Lake\nCapilano River Regional Park is a beautiful park in North Shore Vancouver and a popular spot for locals and visitors.\nIt\u2019s a scenic place to wind down, paint and take photographs of Vancouver\u2019s famous mountains, known as The Lions.\nThe park is also the starting point for forest trails, where you can walk among the trees.\nThe forest at Capilano River Regional Park was once the home of the Coast Salish people, who utilised the plants and the trees in their daily lives.\nClockwise from top left: Candace and Erica in front of The Lions, sun streaming through the trees in Capilano River Regional Park, a great spot to paint, view of The Lions\nThe Lions First Nation name\nTo the Coast Salish people, The Lions are legendary mountains known as the sisters or Ch\u2019ich\u2019iy\u00fay Elxw\u00edkn.\nThe legend involves the Sky Brothers, or Transformers, supernatural beings with magic powers to transform people into mountains and other things.\nMany hundreds of years ago, the people in the area would often war with northern tribes. One time, a raiding party from the northern tribes kidnapped two daughters of a Squamish chief. As the raiding party made their way back inland, the daughters fell in love with their captors.\nThe Transformers wanted to peace and hope for the warring nations that had been fighting each other for eternity. To achieve this, they turned the sisters into two mountains peaks to represent peace and hope between the two nations.\nSo, next time you look at these two snow-covered peaks, think of them as more than a beautiful backdrop. The Lions are a symbol of peace and hope to the First Nations people of the land.\nDecoding the Mystery of the Talking Trees\nGrowing up as a child, Candace Campo had a strong bond with the forest.\n\u201cI used to be a very quiet child and going into the forest, I can\u2019t say I talked to the trees. But I actually felt I had a relationship with them,\u201d says Candace.\nThe First Nations people believe that plants, animals and humans all have a form of intelligence as well as a spirit.\n\u201cWhen I got older, I learned a bit more about the ecology and science of the forest and the forest actually communicates which each other. So that\u2019s why I named it Talking Trees,\u201d she says.\nWhat are the benefits of liquorice?\nIn Capilano River Park, liquorice ferns commonly grow on the Maple trees. This type of fern needs a soft bed of moss for its root system to thrive.\nFirst Nations people harvest the liquorice root in spring and summer, for its potent medicinal qualities.\nThey brew the liquorice root into a tea, which is ministered as a medicine to relieve sore throats and colds.\nAnother way they use the root is to eat it plain or raw.\nThis works as an appetite suppressant, often used by Coast Salish women while they are out in the mountains picking berries with their children.\nMothers would give the liquorice root to their children to stop them from eating all the berries before they reached home.\nThis was a way to ensure that families had a reasonable stash of berries to stow away for winter.\nCapilano River Regional Park is a lovely place for a forest walk.\nFirst Nations practices\nFerns played a big role in the lives of the Coast Salish First Nations people and every part of the plant is utilised.\nThe general practice of Canada\u2019s Aboriginal people is never to waste, to use absolutely everything and take only what they need.\n\u201cWe never had running water. If you had to clean fish or clean meat you didn\u2019t have the luxury we have today of tap or running water to clean it up,\u201d says Candace.\nThey harvested ferns to use as kitchenware or wax paper, to clean the blood off freshly caught fish.\nThe seeds are edible and highly nutritious.\nTo prepare them for consumption, the leaves are removed.\nThe stems are used for weaving and as part of their clothing.\nDown by the Capilano River, Erica pulls out a flask of liquorice tea.\nI swirl the pale yellow liquid in a metal cup, savouring each sip as the winter sun casts long shadows through the forest canopy.\nLearning about culture at Capilano River Regional Park\nTrees in Capilano River Regional Park\nIn a raging forest fire, quite often, the only trees that remain standing are the Douglas Fir.\nThe reason for this is that Douglas Fir trees have a thick and dense bark that serves as its defence mechanism.\nWhen the bark heats up, it will actually explode off the tree leaving the rest of the tree alive and standing.\nCandace points out a Western Red Cedar stump that looks dead.\nI\u2019m surprised to learn that the stump is still alive.\nScientists have come to realise that while a stump may not be getting energy directly from the sunlight because it no longer has its main trunk and branches, its root system may still be intact and other trees will support the life of a stump by sending it nutrients.\nThe Cleveland Dam at Capilano River Regional Park.\n\u201cI think our people knew this intuitively. The trees actually communicate through their root systems. The Birch tree \u2013 in the winter when it goes into hibernation \u2013 sends all its good nutrients to the Douglas Fir tree. They have a whole network and communication system,\u201d she says.\nMiraculously, the Western Red Cedar stump is also sustaining the life of a Western Hemlock tree that is growing inside it.\nI gaze in wonder at the stump and look around me in awe at the forest, marvelling at the incredible support network of the trees.\nI close my eyes and calm my thoughts, listening intently to the sounds of the forest.\nFor a brief moment, I\u2019m absolutely sure the trees are talking to me.\nTalaysay Tours Talking Trees Hike is available all year round. The Spoken Treasures Walk is a delve into Coastal Salish art and the secrets of the Stanley Park totem poles. The company also offers a range of authentic nature and cultural tours.\nIf you\u2019re interested in finding out more about Canada\u2019s First Nations people, there are over 200 First Nations experiences in British Columbia.

The coordinator will report directly to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The coordinator will also be responsible for the security of communications between the US and other governments. The position has been in the works since before WikiLeaks' release of tens of thousands of diplomatic cables.\neID=228900065\u2282Section=Security\nFCC Approves Net Neutrality Rules (December 22, 2010)\nAs expected, the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approved Chairman Julius Genachowski's net neutrality plan by a 3-2 vote. Proponents of net neutrality have been concerned that cable and telecommunications companies could start to wield too much power over Internet traffic. The rules prohibit Internet service providers (ISPs) from favoring one company's traffic over another's on lines to customers' homes, and landline broadband providers cannot block legal content on websites. While the rules allow providers to sell Internet services in which companies pay a premium for faster data delivery, the FCC is unlikely to approve any such arrangements. The rules also require that providers disclose their traffic management policies to consumers. Rules for wireless networks are less restrictive.\n-http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2010/12/fcc-priority-access-deals-unlike\nly-to-get-past-new-open-internet-rules.ars\n-http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703581204576033513990668654.html?m\nod=WSJ_Tech_LEADTop\nMicrosoft Acknowledges Zero-Day Flaw in IE (December 23, 2010)\nMicrosoft has confirmed reports of a zero-day vulnerability in Internet Explorer (IE) that could be exploited to allow remote code execution when IE processes a Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) file with \"@import\" rules. The flaw was reported earlier this month, but exploit code for the vulnerability has recently been released. The flaw affects IE8 on Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 and IE6 and IE7 on Windows XP. The attack defeats IE's data execution prevention (DEP) and address space layout randomization (ASLR) features. Microsoft has issued an advisory with recommendations for protecting systems from attack until a fix is available. The company does not plan to issue an out-of-band fix for the issue.\n-http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9202218/Microsoft_confirms_critical_IE_bu\ng_works_on_fix?taxonomyId=17\n-http://krebsonsecurity.com/2010/12/exploit-published-for-new-internet-explorer-f\n-http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/12/23/ms_zero_day/\n-http://blogs.technet.com/b/srd/archive/2010/12/22/new-internet-explorer-vulnerab\nility-affecting-all-versions-of-ie.aspx\nVA Doctors Used Unauthorized Yahoo Cloud Calendar to Store Patient Information (December 23, 2010)\nThe Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has shut down an unauthorized Yahoo website cloud application that was being used by VA doctors to store sensitive medical information. Late last month, VA information security authorities became aware of a shared calendar on a Yahoo cloud application that had a single password for multiple users. The password had never been changed in the three years that the calendar was in use. The information stored in the calendar included names, types of surgery performed and the last four digits of SSNs. The calendar was ordered to be shut down on November 24 and all the information was deleted. Nearly 900 patients will be notified that their information was stored on the site, which did not have adequate security controls in place. The incident is being called a mishandling of electronic information.\n-http://fcw.com/articles/2010/12/23/va-calendar-cloud-breach.aspx?admgarea=TC_SEC\n-http://www.informationweek.com/news/government/cloud-saas/showArticle.jhtml?arti\ncleID=228900122&cid=RSSfeed_IWK_All\n[Editor's Note (Schultz): The incident may be termed \"a mishandling of electronic information,\" but I fear it may in reality be the result of \"cloud security per the usual.\"\n(Honan): This is a good example of why education and awareness are key elements in an effective infosec program. Many cloud solutions need no intervention from IT to set up. Some services are free while others simply require the client to know how to enter their credit card details into a web page. It is important therefore to ensure your users are aware of the risks involved in using these services and that they consult you before committing sensitive data to them. ]\nCIA Investigating Impact of Leaked Diplomatic Cables (December 22, 2010)\nA CIA task force will examine the implications of the recently released diplomatic cables on WikiLeaks. One issue of concern is the possible erosion of relationships between the agency and informants following the leak. The CIA appears to have been relatively untouched by the leak, due perhaps to its reluctance to share information with other agencies. When asked to make information available on SIPRNet, the CIA refused because of concern about the number of people with access to the network. The National Security Agency's (NSA) response to the WikiLeaks disclosures has been \"to assume that all the components of\nsystem\" have been compromised.\n-http://www.h-online.com/security/news/item/W-T-F-CIA-and-NSA-respond-to-WikiLeak\ns-1158344.html\nMan Pleads Guilty in Wi-Fi Framing Case (December 22, 2010)\nA Minnesota man has pleaded guilty to computer hacking, aggravated identity theft and other charges for sending email threats against Vice President Joe Biden in his neighbor's name. Barry Vincent Ardolf admitted to breaking into his neighbor's wireless network, setting up phony email accounts and sending the threatening messages to appear as though they came from his neighbor. Ardolf also sent offensive email messages to some of the neighbor's co-workers\n-http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/12/22/wi_fi_hack_threat_man_admits_guilt/\n-http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9202160/Man_used_neighbor_s_Wi_Fi_to_thre\naten_Vice_President_Biden?taxonomyId=17\nTexas Man Indicted for Allegedly Stealing US $274,000 from Digital River Programmers (December 22 & 23, 2010)\nA Texas man has been indicted on charges of computer and wire fraud for allegedly stealing more than US $250,000 from a Minnesota e-commerce company. Jeremey Parker allegedly redirected electronic payments from a Digital River subsidiary, SWReg, to his personal bank account. SWReg is used to pay independent software developers who create code for Digital River; they can go online, see how much they are owed in royalties, and transfer the funds to their personal accounts.\n-http://www.startribune.com/local/112307894.html?elr=KArksLckD8EQDUoaEyqyP4O:DW3c\nkUiD3aPc:_Yyc:aUvckD8EQDUZ\n-http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/12/23/digital_river_hack_charges/\nMobile Phone Companies Taking Security More Seriously (December 22, 2010)\nWireless phone companies are taking steps to improve the security of the ubiquitous devices. Carriers are making efforts to help prevent attacks and data theft, while hardware manufacturers are improving their products as well. AT&T has hired 13 PhDs to open a new mobile phone security lab in New York City. Carriers are also working with startup companies that are focused solely on mobile device security. Research in Motion (RIM) plans to improve the way BlackBerry users back up their data and remotely locate, lock or wipe the devices.\n[Editor's Comment (Northcutt): This story was found by my colleague David Hoelzer who noted that an emphasis on secure development will do more good than hiring PhDs to retrofit security. I would agree, but my biggest smartphone concern are the apps that phone home with information about the phone's owner.]\nApple Pulls WikiLeaks App from iTunes Stores (December 21 & 22, 2010)\nCiting violations of developer guidelines, Apple has removed a WikiLeaks iPhone and iPad application from the iTunes store. The app allowed users to access WikiLeaks' Twitter feed and documents on the organization's website. It had been downloaded more than 4,000 times before Apple removed it from the store. Apps sold in the iTunes store \"must comply with local laws and may not put an individual or targeted group in harm's way,\" according to a company spokesperson. The app was unofficial, meaning it was not released or endorsed by WikiLeaks, but the developer said that US $1, or half of the sale proceeds, was being donated to WikiLeaks for each download.\n-http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2010/12/wikileaks-app/#more-22073\nNIST Issues Draft Document on Continuous Monitoring for IT Security (December 21, 2010)\nThe National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has released Special Publication 800-137: Information Security Continuous Monitoring for Federal Information Systems and Organizations. The draft publication says that effective IT security needs to start with organizational level planning rather than working system by system and provides guidelines for developing and implementing an effective continuous monitoring strategy. NIST is accepting comments on the draft document until March 15, 2011.\n-http://gcn.com/articles/2010/12/21/nist-continuous-monitoring.aspx\n-http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/drafts/800-137/draft-SP-800-137-IPD.pdf\n[Editor's Comment (Northcutt): In principle continuous monitoring is a great idea.

        "raw_content": "Issues and answers: Part 5\nWritten by Lee Sonogan\n\u201cThe natural resources of the world do not belong to any person, organization, collective, or so-called nation.\u201d \u2015 Bryant McGill, Voice of Reason\nRaw/natural resources are used to create, make fuel, structures, technology, various sub genres of products/items, land and sold to the highest bidder. Resources can be classified as stock, reserve, potential, actual, renewable, non-renwable, biotic and abiotic resources. Every man-made product is composed of natural resources at its fundamental level. There is much debate worldwide over natural resource sharing, this is particularly true during periods of increasing scarcity and shortages, but also because the exportation of natural resources is the basis for many economies, particularly for developed countries..\nResource extraction is defined as any activity that withdraws resources from nature. This can range in scale from the traditional use of past societies, to global industry. Extractive industries are, along with agriculture, the basis of the primary sector of the economy. Extraction produces raw material which is then processed to add value. Extractive industries are hunting, trapping, mining, oil and gas drilling, and forestry. Natural resources can add substantial amounts to a country\u2019s wealth, however a sudden inflow of money caused by a resource boom can create social problems including inflation harming other industries and corruption, leading to inequality and underdevelopment, this is known by some as the \u201cresource curse\u201d.\nExtractive industries represent a large growing activity in many less-developed countries but the wealth generated does not always lead to sustainable and inclusive growth. Extractive industry businesses often are assumed to be interested only in maximizing their short-term value, implying that less-developed countries are vulnerable to powerful corporations.\nIn recent years, the depletion of natural resources has become a major focus of governments and organizations such as the United Nations. This is evident in the UN\u2019s Agenda 21 Section Two, which outlines the necessary steps to be taken by countries to sustain their natural resources. The depletion of natural resources is considered to be a sustainable development issue. In regards to natural resources, depletion is of concern for sustainable development as it has the ability to degrade current environments and potential to impact the needs of future generations.\n\u201cThe conservation of natural resources is the fundamental problem. Unless we solve that problem, it will avail us little to solve all others.\u201d \u2013 Theodore Roosevelt\nDepletion of natural resources is associated with social inequity. Considering most biodiversity are located in developing countries, depletion of this resource could result in losses of ecosystem services for these countries. Some view this depletion as a major source of social unrest and conflicts in developing nations. At present, with it being the year of the forest, there is particular concern for rainforest regions which hold most of the Earth\u2019s biodiversity. According to Nelson deforestation and degradation affect 8.5% of the world\u2019s forests with 30% of the Earth\u2019s surface already cropped. If we consider that 80% of people rely on medicines obtained from plants and \u00be of the world\u2019s prescription medicines have ingredients taken from plants, loss of the world\u2019s rainforests could result in a loss of finding more potential life saving medicines.\nThe depletion of natural resources is caused by \u2018direct drivers of change\u2019 such as Mining, petroleum extraction, fishing and forestry as well as \u2018indirect drivers of change\u2019 such as demography, economy, society, politics and technology. The current practice of Agriculture is another factor causing depletion of natural resources. For example, the depletion of nutrients in the soil due to excessive use of nitrogen and desertification. The depletion of natural resources is a continuing concern for society. This is seen in the cited quote given by Theodore Roosevelt, a well-known conservationist and former United States president, who was opposed to unregulated natural resource extraction.\nEnvironmental protection is a practice of protecting the natural environment on individual, organisation controlled or governmental levels, for the benefit of both the environment and humans. Due to the pressures of over consumption, population and technology, the biophysical environment is being degraded, sometimes permanently. This has been recognized, and governments have begun placing restraints on activities that cause environmental degradation. Since the 1960s, activity of environmental movements has created awareness of the various environmental issues. There is no agreement on the extent of the environmental impact of human activity and even scientific dishonesty occurs, so protection measures are occasionally debated.\nNatural resource management refers to the management of natural resources such as land, water, soil, plants and animals, with a particular focus on how management affects the quality of life for both present and future generations. Natural resource management deals with managing the way in which people and natural landscapes interact. It brings together land use planning, water management, biodiversity conservation, and the future sustainability of industries like agriculture, mining, tourism, fisheries and forestry. It recognises that people and their livelihoods rely on the health and productivity of our landscapes, and their actions as stewards of the land play a critical role in maintaining this health and productivity.\nNatural resource management specifically focuses on a scientific and technical understanding of resources and ecology and the life-supporting capacity of those resources.Environmental management is also similar to natural resource management. In academic contexts, the sociology of natural resources is closely related to, but distinct from, natural resource management. Natural resource management issues are inherently complex they involve the ecological cycles, hydrological cycles, climate, animals, plants and geographetc. All these are dynamic and inter-related. A change in one of them may have far-reaching and/or long-term impacts which may even be irreversible. In addition to the natural systems, natural resource management also has to manage various stakeholders and their interests, policies, politics, geographical boundaries, economic implications and the list goes on. It is very difficult to satisfy all aspects at the same time. This results in conflicting situations.\nSustainable development is defined as a process of meeting human development goals while sustaining the ability of natural systems to continue to provide the natural resources and ecosystem services upon which the economy and society depends. While the modern concept of sustainable development is derived most strongly from the 1987 Brundtland Report, it is rooted in earlier ideas about sustainable forest management and twentieth century environmental concerns. As the concept developed, it has shifted to focus more on economic development, social development and environmental protection for future generations.\nSustainable development is the organizing principle for sustaining finite resources necessary to provide for the needs of future generations of life on the planet. It is a process that envisions a desirable future state for human societies in which living conditions and resource-use continue to meet human needs without undermining the integrity, stability and beauty of natural biotic systems. The ecological stability of human settlements is part of the relationship between humans and their natural, social and built environments. Also termed human ecology, this broadens the focus of sustainable development to include the domain of human health. Fundamental human needs such as the availability and quality of air, water, food and shelter are also the ecological foundations for sustainable development; addressing public health risk through investments in ecosystem services can be a powerful and transformative force for sustainable development which, in this sense, extends to all species.\nIn ecology, sustainability is the property of biological systems that remain diverse and productive indefinitely. Long-lived and healthy wetlands and forests are examples of sustainable biological systems. In more general terms, sustainability is the endurance of systems and processes. The organizing principle for sustainability is sustainable development, which includes the four interconnected domains: ecology, economics, politics and culture. Sustainability science is the study of sustainable development and environmental science.\nEnvironmental sustainability concerns the natural environment and how it endures and remains diverse and productive. Since natural resources are derived from the environment, the state of air, water, and the climate are of particular concern. The IPCC Fifth Assessment Report outlines current knowledge about scientific, technical and socio-economic information concerning climate change, and lists options for adaptation and mitigation. Environmental sustainability requires society to design activities to meet human needs while preserving the life support systems of the planet. This, for example, entails using water sustainably, utilizing renewable energy and sustainable material supplies. Such as harvesting wood from forests at a rate that maintains the biomass and biodiversity.\nAn unsustainable situation occurs when natural resources ares used up faster than it can be replenished. Sustainability requires that human activity only uses nature\u2019s resources at a rate at which they can be replenished naturally. Inherently the concept of sustainable development is intertwined with the concept of carrying capacity. Theoretically, the long-term result of environmental degradation is the inability to sustain human life. Such degradation on a global scale should imply an increase in human death rate until population falls to what the degraded environment can support.\nSustainable agriculture consists of environment friendly methods of farming that allow the production of crops or livestock without damage to human or natural systems. It involves preventing adverse effects to soil, water, biodiversity, surrounding or downstream resources\u2014as well as to those working or living on the farm or in neighboring areas. Elements of sustainable agriculture include permaculture, agroforestry, mixed farming, multiple cropping, and crop rotation.\nSustainable development may involve improvements in the quality of life for many but may necessitate a decrease in resource consumption. According to ecological economist Malte Faber, ecological economics is defined by its focus on nature, justice, and time. Issues of intergenerational equity, irreversibility of environmental change, uncertainty of long-term outcomes, and sustainable development guide ecological economic analysis and valuation.\nThe total environment includes not just the biosphere of earth, air, and water, but also human interactions with these things, with nature, and what humans have created as their surroundings. Numerous sustainability standards and certification systems exist, including organic certification, Rainforest Alliance, Fair Trade, UTZ Certified, Bird Friendly, and the Common Code for the Coffee Community.\nAs countries around the world continue to advance economically, they put a strain on the ability of the natural environment to absorb the high level of pollutants that are created as a part of this economic growth. Therefore, solutions need to be found so that the economies of the world can continue to grow, but not at the expense of the public good. In the world of economics the amount of environmental quality must be considered as limited in supply and therefore is treated as a scarce resource. This is a resource to be protected. One common way to analyze possible outcomes of policy decisions on the scarce resource is to do a cost-benefit analysis. This type of analysis contrasts different options of resource allocation and, based on an evaluation of the expected courses of action and the consequences of these actions, the optimal way to do so in the light of different policy goals can be elicited.\nNatural resource economics is a field of academic research within economics that aims to address the connections and interdependence between human economies and natural ecosystems. Its focus is how to operate an economy within the ecological constraints of earth\u2019s natural resources. Resource economics brings together and connects different disciplines within the natural and social sciences connected to broad areas of earth science, human economics, and natural ecosystems. Economic models must be adapted to accommodate the special features of natural resource inputs. The traditional curriculum of natural resource economics emphasized fisheries models, forestry models, and minerals extraction models.\nOverall, economics should be only about resources. Because only resources and science limit and make it possible to do things and to nourish the ecosystem on planet earth. This money based system at the moment makes almost everyone, who can do something because he has money, blind in front of the real needs of the communities around him. This system already destroyed so so many healthy cycles on earth including healthy cycles between humans, animals, plants, soil and geology, water cycles and more. In order to reestablish healthy cycles and hence a balance on planet earth again a resource based economy is a good option we should consider. Making all world resources information public is a must. Only then we will know who has what and what we have to use to survive, sustain the planet and create growth. In the next part I will continue on the theme resources with energy.\n\u201c..the planet is just too small for these developing countries to repeat the economic growth in the same way that the rich countries have done it in the past. We don\u2019t have enough natural resources, we don\u2019t have enough atmosphere. Clearly, something has to change.\u201d\n\u2015 Mario J. Molina\nList of predictions of the future",

        "raw_content": "5 Reasons to Use Machine Translation\nYou\u2019ve heard the hype around machine translation, but is it right for your business? Machine translation is unlikely to replace human translators completely, and it isn\u2019t right for every project. However, it can help your organization meet the challenges of doing business with people from across the globe.\nHere are five powerful reasons to use machine translation.\nThere\u2019s one area where machine translation has a definite edge over human translators: speed. Computers can translate text exponentially faster than even the fastest human translator.\nMachine Translation makes it possible to translate vast amounts of data.\nBecause machine translation is so much faster than human-powered translation, it\u2019s the only practical way to handle large amounts of data that need translation. One of the most compelling examples of this would be cross-border eDiscovery.\nCan you imagine trying to find enough linguists to translate terabytes worth of data? The expense and the amount of time required would be prohibitive, and most of the documents won\u2019t be relevant to the case. Machine translation makes it possible to produce a rough translation of everything, cheaply.\nThen, computer programs search the translated content and find documents that are relevant to the case. Human translators can review only the relevant documents for relevancy and accuracy.\nMachine translation is also often the only practical way to translate large amounts of user-generated content, which has become increasingly important in the age of social media.\nMachine Translation improves security and compliance.\nWe\u2019ve all heard the saying, \u201cto err is human.\u201d However, with consumers and regulators alike focusing more on data security now than ever before, forgiveness rarely comes without hefty fines. Machine translation can help improve data security and compliance by reducing the need for human translators to access sensitive data.\nMachine translation also makes it possible to implement compliance monitoring at scale, as well as to maximize the effectiveness of your compliance budget.\nHowever, for machine translation to benefit compliance, it has to be done on a secure platform. Free cloud-based translation platforms can compromise your sensitive data and leave your organization vulnerable.\nmachine translation results in more consistent translations.\nWhether you\u2019re communicating with customers or with internal stakeholders, a consistent brand voice is essential. Using a customized machine translation engine (with human post-editing) can lead to more consistent translation, as terms get translated the same way each time.\nMachine translation saves money.\nFor many organizations, this is the chief attraction of machine translation. It\u2019s just cheaper to have a computer do the translations than it is to pay people to do the same job. With machine translation, you can save anywhere from 35% to 98% of the cost of a human translator.\nOf course, this advantage only applies if you use machine translation appropriately. When used indiscriminately, MT can lead to errors that cost more to correct than you\u2019d have spent on human translation in the first place. Your translation agency can help you determine when and how to deploy machine translation to maximum advantage.\nIf you still have questions about machine translation or translation in general, our team is ready to answer them.

What's interesting about the cover, apart from the lovely retro space hardware, is the depiction of a woman at the helm of a spaceship (or perhaps controlling lunar orbital traffic from a space station). I imagine she's toggling the radio to remind the space cowboy who's just buzzed her that he's violated about twenty navigational regs.\nEDIT: Further thought - maybe the presence of a female space pilot/traffic controller in this old science-fiction illustration isn't so unusual; during the Second World War, just eight years in the past, when the book was published, women had taken on all kinds of roles previously considered the exclusive domain of men.",

From Minneapolis to St. Paul, The Urgency Room is well-equipped with state-of-the-art equipment to help you with a vast range of medical needs.\nWhether you\u2019ve been experiencing some lingering symptoms or you have obviously urgent medical needs, The Urgency Room is your perfect solution.

While your typical emergency room is crowded and laden with illness, germs and long waits, your experience with The urgency Room will open up an entirely new world of urgent care for you.\nYou can always see how short of a waiting time exists at your preferred location by checking our real-time wait trackers. Our friendly staff is standing by for when you need medical care fast\u2014especially for when you have broken bones, dislocated joints, and sprains or strains.\nWhat\u2019s the difference between broken bones, dislocations and sprains/strains?\nIf you\u2019ve ever experienced one or all of these medical situations, you may be aware of their individual telltale signs. However, there are many times when it may be difficult to determine if a bone is broken or if you have a sprain or strain. Broken bones, dislocations and sprains/strains may have similar symptoms such as soreness, swelling and inability to function as you normally would with that afflicted body part. However, these are completely different injuries that require urgent care and specific attention.\nWhen a bone is broken\nWhether it\u2019s called a break or a fracture, it\u2019s a broken bone. However, it isn\u2019t that simple. While bones allow some flexibility, they are still rigid. When bent or impacted beyond its flexibility, a bone will break. There are different types of break and the severity usually depends on the type and extremity of the impact the bone endured.\nDifferent types of breaks include:\n- Stable fracture: A bone that is broken so that the broken ends are still aligned\n- Open, compound fracture: When the broken bone pierces the skin and may or may not be visible in the wound\n- Transverse fracture: A broken bone that has a horizontal fracture\n- Oblique fracture: A broken bone that has an angled fracture\n- Comminuted fracture: A broken bone that has shattered into three or more pieces along the fracture\nYour bones exist to give your body structure\u2014they hold you up, help you function and protect your organs. It\u2019s no wonder they\u2019re incredibly strong. It\u2019s estimated that a rib bone can withstand up to 740 pounds of force while the average femur can take nearly 900 pounds of force. While these are solid estimates, the amount of force your bones can endure before breaking relies on several factors such as:\nThe type and severity of trauma it experienced\nIf you have a pre-existing condition that weakens bones such as osteoporosis\nOveruse often leading to stress fractures\nWhen you break a bone for whatever reason, you may experience symptoms such as swelling, bruising or deformity if the break is severe enough that it has shifted portions of your body. Most commonly, a suspected break will be examined via X-ray. More serious or difficult to see breaks, though, may require magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).\nTreatment for a broken bone varies depending on the break, its severity and where it\u2019s located on your body. Many breaks or fractures require a cast\u2014whether it be plaster or fiberglass\u2014that will hold the broken pieces together and allow new bone to \u201cknit\u201d the ends back together. In severe cases, broken bones will need to be fixated while healing through the use of metal plates and screws applied either internally or externally.\nIt can take anywhere from several weeks to several months for broken bones to heal. To help prevent them altogether, it\u2019s a good idea to improve your diet and increase your exercise. By building muscle, you\u2019re increasing the strength of your bones, thus helping prevent further or more serious breaks in the future.\nWhile breaks can happen at the end of a bone, on a joint or somewhere in between, dislocations can occur only at joints. A dislocation is an injury that causes the ends of your bones out of position within a joint. Common dislocations include ankles, knees, shoulders, hips, elbows, fingers and even your jaw.\nDon\u2019t hesitate when it comes to dislocated bones. Not only is a dislocation generally very painful, but it can also cause further damage to nerves or tendons if not addressed immediately. Your nearest Urgency Room is equipped to care for you and treat your dislocation in the best way possible in the least amount of time.\nSymptoms of a dislocated bone may include swelling, bruising and pain. When a dislocation occurs, you\u2019ll often be able to see the bone \u201cout of place.\u201d Once you come to the Urgency Room, our experienced physicians will be able to assess the severity of your dislocated bone and treat it accordingly.\nDislocation treatment may include repositioning the bone in the joint, a prescription for painkillers or anti-inflammatories, a sling or a splint, and possible rehabilitation treatment. If your dislocation is severe, it may take longer than the usual 2\u20133 weeks to return to full movement. After dislocating a bone, however, be wary as that bone is more prone to dislocation in the future. Many athletes who dislocate knees or ankles may wear special supports or elastic braces in the future to prevent additional dislocations.\nWhat is a sprain/strain?\nA break is a broken or fractured bone, a dislocation is when a bone moves out of its joint, and a sprain/strain is the stretching or tearing of ligaments or tendons. While they may seem similar enough, a sprain and a strain are two different injuries.\nSprain: A sprain involves the ligaments, otherwise known as the fibrous tissues that connect two bones together in your joints.\nStrain: A strain is the stretching or tearing of the tendons, otherwise known as the fibrous tissues that connect your muscles to your bones.\nBoth a strain and a sprain are commonly less severe injuries than breaks or dislocations. However, a trip to the Urgency Room is still a good idea to rule out any fractures or breaks that could cause further pain and damage if left untreated. Also, if a sprain or strain is severe enough, surgery may be required to repair extremely damaged ligaments or tendons.\nThe usual treatment after getting your sprain or strain assessed is R.I.C.E. or rest, ice, compression and elevation. With proper care and diagnosis by your local Urgency Room physician, your sprain or strain should dissipate in a few weeks, leaving you good to go and back on your feet.\nWhether you live in Minneapolis, St. Paul or anywhere around the Twin Cities, heading to your nearest Urgency Room when you need medical attention is the cost-effective solution that could save you valuable time. Call or stop by one of our three locations any time to learn more or experience the best urgent care available.\nIf you\u2019d like to see all that our state-of-the-art facilities offer, take our virtual tour or peruse the types of equipment we offer or the variety of ailments we can diagnose and treat on-site.

        "raw_content": "Read Next:\tJennifer Garner Moves Into Dean Factor\u2019s Former Pacific Palisades Mansion\nKaty Perry Picks Up Secluded Beverly Hills Home in Star-Studded Enclave\nBUYER: Katy Perry\nSELLER: Cody Leibel\nYOUR MAMA\u2019S NOTES: Property records don\u2019t yet reflect a transfer of ownership but word on the celebrity real estate street is that bubble-gum pop music supernova Katy Perry has agreed to pay just shy of $19 million in an off-market deal for a secluded residence in a famously celeb-packed enclave in the upper Coldwater Canyon area of Beverly Hills. Almost entirely surrounded by undeveloped land, the 1.16-acre property is owned by C-Note Records owner Cody Leibel, scion of a substantial Canadian home building fortune, who acquired it in October 2007 for $9.205 million.\nThe two-story transitional contemporary of 5,427-square-feet sits behind massive gates at the end of an approximately one-quarter mile long, flagstone paved drive with off-street parking for upwards of 20 cars. Marketing materials from when the property was last available on the open market in 2009 at $16.5 million show there are five bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, and three fireplaces. Walls of glass open the high-ceilinged interior spaces to shaded verandas and open patios that give way to lushly landscaped grounds that offer thick carpets of rolling lawns and a double-edged infinity pool with serene view into the heavily wooded canyon.\nAlthough the supremely private property was not listed on the open market it\u2019s certainly familiar to property gossips. Over the summer of 2009 rumors ran rampant Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, who then owned and still own another house just around the corner, made an offer on the property and later the same year there were more whispers Lady Gaga expressed serious interest in the property. (Gaga went on to lease a Bel Air mansion owned by Leibel\u2019s father Lorne and later shelled out $23 million for a Malibu mansion and last year coughed up $5.25 million for the Hollywood Hills compound of late avant-garde musician Frank Zappa) Some of the other residents of the star-packed neighborhood include Adele, Jennifer Lawrence, Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden, Nicole Richie and Joel Madden, Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem, and Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis.\nMiz Perry, whose long list of industry accolades include five American Music Awards and five MTV Music Awards but no Grammys despite more than a dozen nominations, currently owns two side-by-side homes at the top of Runyon Canyon in the Hollywood Hills. The properties, one with a Spanish-style residence and the other with a low-slung modern-organic contemporary once owned by Jake Gyllenhaal\u2019s parents, were purchased in two separate but contiguous transactions in April 2013 for a total of $11.2 million from oil heiress and philanthropist Aileen Getty.\nThe purchase of the Beverly Hills property comes as a bit of a surprise given that after a much-publicized two-year long legal battle, Miss Perry\u2019s dogged efforts to purchase the convent of the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in the hills between Los Feliz and Silver Lake recently moved forward. The California native agreed to pay around $14.5 million in cash for the 8-acre multi-structure nunnery that contains a total of 25 bedrooms and 29 bathrooms according to property records. The ecclesiastical compound\u2019s sprawling main building, a quirky pastiche of Medieval, Spanish, Tudor and Gothic architecture designed and built in 1927 by architect Bernard Maybeck for radio pioneer and car dealership mogul Earle C. Anthony, wraps around a prairie-sized courtyard with a picturesque oval swimming pool.\nlisting photos: via Zillow\nCody Leibel",

        "raw_content": "Speaker Profile: Brian Noyes\nBrian Noyes certainly didn't follow a typical entry into the world of software development. He didn't grow up programming and using computers. He didn't like typical geek things. In fact, he was quite the polar opposite for the first few decades of his life.\nHe grew up surfing in Carlsbad, Calif., and wasn't into traditional sports. He went to the Naval Academy, flew F-14 Tomcats, and graduated from Top Gun and the U.S. Naval Test Pilot School. He studied Aerospace Engineering both at the U.S. Naval Academy and at Naval Postgraduate School.\nSomewhere along the way, he became fascinated by computers and software development and starting doing that. Initially, developing software was a hobby. It then became an area of increasing focus of his engineering jobs in the Navy. When he finally left active duty in 2000, he pursued a full-time software career. He stayed in the Naval Reserve and retired as a Navy Commander (O-5) in 2008.\nFrom 2000 until now, he has consistently established himself as an expert software architect specializing in client application architecture, including XAML and HTML5 applications, services with ASP.NET Web API, Windows Communication Foundation and Microsoft Azure. He progressed from an initial focus on Web applications in the early days of the Microsoft .NET Framework, to Windows Forms, then Windows Presentation Foundation and Silverlight, as well as Windows 8. He later made the jump back to Web technologies with Single-Page Applications with Knockout, Angular and other JavaScript frameworks, as well as mobile technologies. These days, he spends a lot of time helping customers try to sort out the plethora of options and alternatives in the client space and get them on the path for success based on their requirements through consulting, training, mentoring and speaking at conferences.\nLafe Low is the editorial liaison for the Enterprise Computing Group Events team.\nAutomatically Sort C# Objects\nWhenever you create a C# class definition, consider adding one extra method so you can automatically sort object instances. It's easy and well worth the minimal extra effort. For example, suppose you've defined:\n// methods here\nIf you enhance the class as follows:\npublic class Employee : IComparable\nreturn String.Compare(this.name, other.name);\nThen if you have a list of objects:\nYou can automatically sort this list with the statement:\nBeing able to automatically sort lists and arrays of objects really comes in handy for WriteLine-style debugging and display routines.\nDr. James McCaffrey works for Microsoft Research in Redmond, Wash. He has worked on several Microsoft products including Internet Explorer and Bing.\nPosted by James McCaffrey on 05/18/20150 comments\nBoost Business Apps with LightSwitch\nThe primary reason you might want to use WCF RIA Services with Visual Studio LightSwitch/Cloud Business Apps (SharePoint) is to:\nCombine more than one entity into a single entity.\nEliminate unnecessary columns in an entity to improve performance (otherwise large amounts of data, such as pictures, will be transmitted even when they're not shown).\nImplement calculated fields that let you search and sort resulting values.\nGo to the LightSwitch Help Web site for more information.\nMichael Washington is the founder of LightSwitchHelpWebsite.com. He's an ASP.NET, C# and Visual Basic programmer. He has extensive knowledge in process improvement, billing systems and student information systems.\nPosted by Michael Washington on 05/12/20150 comments\nSpeaker Profile: Dr. James McCaffrey\nIf you've ever read MSDN Magazine or Visual Studio Magazine, or attended a Visual Studio Live! event, you've probably come across Dr. James McCaffrey. Dr. McCaffrey works at Microsoft Research in Redmond, Wash., but he spends a lot of time writing articles and presenting at developer events.\nDr. McCaffrey is fascinated by any form of activity that involves human interaction and combinatorial mathematics. Some examples of that include analyzing gambling games, such as \"Blackjack Switch,\" and the study of betting behavior associated with professional sports. He enjoys examining software systems that have designs influenced by the behavior of biological systems, such as genetic algorithms and simulated bee colony algorithms, especially when applied to large-scale data mining and analysis.\n\"I really like attending Visual Studio Live! events,\" he says. \"There are great speakers and I always pick up interesting and useful knowledge that I can apply to work. Additionally, I especially enjoy the impromptu, ad hoc conversations that spring up between session talks and scheduled events.\"\nSpeaker Profile: Laurent Bugnion\nIf you've read any materials on Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM), Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) or Xamarin, chances are you've seen the work of Laurent Bugnion. Based in Zurich, Switzerland, he is a prolific writer and speaker in the software development world. He's the author of the well-known open source framework MVVM Light Toolkit for Windows Phone, Windows Store, WPF, Xamarin, and of the popular Pluralsight reference course about MVVM Light. He's also the senior director for IdentityMine, a Microsoft gold partner for technologies such as WPF, Xamarin, Pixelsense, Windows Store, Windows Phone, Xbox and, generally, UX.\nIn October 2010, he published the book, \"Silverlight 4 Unleashed\" (Sams Publishing). It was an advanced sequel to \"Silverlight 2 Unleashed\" (2008), which was published by the same company. He writes for MSDN Magazine and other publications, writes apps for Windows Phone, Windows Store, WPF, Xamarin (iOS and Android), and ASP.NET and his blog is on blog.galasoft.ch.\nThis is Bugnion's ninth year as a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (Windows Application Development), his second year as a Microsoft Regional Director and his first year as a Xamarin Most Valuable Professional.\nDiagnose Web Problems in Mobile Devices with Fiddler\nFiddler is a great help when diagnosing problems with Web sites, investigating performance concerns and modifying requests sent to Web servers. Because mobile devices are responsible for more traffic to Web sites, you should know how to use Fiddler for mobile clients, as well.\nYou can simply run Fiddler on your PC on its default port of 8888, configure it to \"allow remote computers to connect\" in Fiddler Options on the Connections tab, and ensure any firewall allows traffic on that port. Use ipconfig on the PC to determine its IP address. Then set the proxy server on the mobile device to point at the given IP address and port 8888.\nIn iOS, you'd set this on the Wi-Fi connection under the HTTP Proxy section by choosing Manual. Open the browser on the device and as you visit Web sites, you'll see all the traffic in Fiddler. Now use all the great features in Fiddler you\u2019re used to for mobile clients.\nRobert Boedigheimer works for Schwans Shared Services LLC providing business solutions with Web technologies and leads Robert Boedigheimer Consulting LLC. He\u2019s been designing and developing Web sites for the past 18 years including the early days of ASP and ASP.NET.\n5 Great Visual Studio Keyboard Shortcuts\nHere are five of my favorite keyboard shortcuts in Visual Studio. There's a good chance at least one of them will be new to you.\nMove Code Alt+Up/Down\nThis keyboard shortcut is new in Visual Studio 2013. If you put the cursor on a line of code and use the Alt+Up Arrow keys, the line of code you've selected moves up. If you use the Alt+Down Arrow keys, the line of code selected moves down.\nCreate Collapsible Region Ctrl+M+H/Ctrl+M+U\nChances are you've noticed the \"+\" and \"-\" symbols in the margins that let you collapse and expand your classes and functions. Did you know you can create your own collapsible regions? If you select a section of code and then use the key sequence Ctrl+M+H, you turn that region into a collapsible/expandable region. The key sequence Ctrl+M+U will remove the collapsible region. It doesn't delete the code, it just removes the icon that lets you expand and collapse.\nComment Code Block Ctrl+K+C/Ctrl+K+U\nWhether it's because you're trying to track down a \"but,\" or experimenting with code change, from time to time you'll want to comment and uncomment blocks of code. If you select a block of code and use the key sequence Ctrl+K+C, you'll comment out the section of code. Ctrl+K+U will uncomment the code.\nPeek Definition Alt+F12\nWhen you're going through your code and you want to examine the code in the method you're calling, many programmers will use the F12 key or the pop-up menu option Go To Definition. Go To Definition will navigate to the called method; however, many times you don't need to navigate to the code. Sometimes, you just want a quick look at the method. If you've installed Visual Studio 2013, there's a new keyboard shortcut -- Alt+F12 -- that will give you a preview of the method being called inline. You can use the Esc key to close the preview.\nNavigate Forward/Backward Ctrl+\u2013/Ctrl+Shift+\u2013\nWhen you have multiple files open at the same time, you might want a way to quickly move back and forth between two or three different locations in your code. If you've moved from one location to another you can use the keyboard sequence &lt;Ctrl&gt;+\u2013 to move to the previous location and then you can return using Ctrl+Shift+\u2013.\nSusan Ibach is a developer evangelist at Microsoft Canada. She loves to talk about Windows Phone, HTML5 and the cloud and has worked as a consultant doing programming, testing, data conversions, rollouts and also as a trainer teaching Oracle, SQL Server, SQL Server BI, and .NET programming. When she's not staring at an LCD screen, she's doing martial arts with her kids, out running or enjoying her husband's cooking.\nPosted on 04/17/20150 comments\nRemember the Parentheses on Your Knockout Observables\nWhen you use KnockoutJS for data binding, you'll generally want to be binding to observable properties exposed from your ViewModel objects. An observable is an object declared with knockout:\n{ customerName = ko.observable(\"\");}\nWhen you go to set that property, remember to call it as a function object with a call like:\ncustomerName(\"Homer\"), as opposed to customerName = \"Homer\"\nWhen you get the value, you likewise call it as a function:\nvar name = customerName()\nThis trips up even the most experienced Knockout programmers. As a result, you might want to check out either this post on Steven Sanderson's blog or this Durandal documentation page for ways to leave off the parentheses when working with observables.\nBrian Noyes is the CTO of Solliance Inc. (solliance.net), a Microsoft regional director and MVP, and Pluralsight author.\nUse CSS3 Features with Fallbacks for Older Browsers\nYes, it is possible to have your cake and eat it too. A good strategy is to use the latest CSS3 features in browsers that natively support them, but fallback to existing techniques like jQuery plug-ins or polyfills for older browsers.\nModernizr is a great free JavaScript library that detects what HTML5 and CSS3 features a user agent supports. Opacity controls how transparent an element is. CSS3 now has an \"opacity\" property you can set from 0 (fully transparent) to 1 (fully opaque). Modernizr supports conditional loading, so if it detects the user agent doesn't support the new opacity property, it can download the jQuery core library, which offers cross-browser support for opacity. This provides the best performance for current devices, while ensuring all users have the same experience with the site.\nRobert Boedigheimer works for Schwans Shared Services LLC and leads Robert Boedigheimer Consulting LLC. He's been designing and developing Web sites for the past 18 years and is a columnist for aspalliance.com, a Pluralsight author, an ASP.NET MVP, and a third-degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do. He has spoken at industry conferences including Visual Studio Live! and TechEd, plus numerous national and international events.\nClick that Visual Studio Notification Flag\nVisual Studio wants to keep you informed of important information, such as available Visual Studio updates, license expirations, or alerts. These notifications are now available directly from within Visual Studio. Just click on the flag icon in the Visual Studio 2013 title bar.\nPrior versions of Visual Studio provided the notifications in a pop-up balloon that appeared in your Windows task bar. In Visual Studio 2012, the pop-up balloon appears and disappears so quickly, it's easy to miss. And it isn't obvious how to display it again.\nIn Visual Studio 2013, this process was improved by moving the notification into the Visual Studio title bar. That way you can review the notifications at any time. Hover over the icon for a quick overview of the notifications. Then you can click on the notification icon to display the notification window.\nThe notification window contains messages and alerts. Many notifications provide a link to an action. Hovering over the link will give you the notification details. Then you can click the link to perform the action. After you've viewed a notification, it's no longer considered new.\nDeborah Kurata is cofounder of InStep Technologies Inc. and has more than 15 years experience in architecting, designing and developing successful applications.

        "raw_content": "What is the Function of the Cerebellum\n19 Jan, 2012 what is\nThe cerebellum is a region of the brain that is located at the bottom of the brain underneath the back of the cerebrum and behind the pons. The outer layer of the cerebellum is made up of tightly folded gray matter and underneath this is white matter. Within the white matter are four deep cerebellar nuclei. Continue reading to discover the function of this important part of the brain.\nWhat is the function of the cerebellum?\nAlthough not all of the functions of the cerebellum are known, scientists have been able to gain insight into the function by examining patients who have damage to this specific area. The main known function of the cerebellum is motor control. Although it doesn\u2019t start movement in the body it is responsible for coordinating and timing the movement as well as making precision movement. Some experts also think that it is responsible for motor learning, which improves the accuracy and smoothness of movement. People suffering damage to the cerebellum have problems with the accuracy and control of their movements.\nSome studies have shown that the cerebellum has many other important functions, although experts disagree on the findings. These studies show the cerebellum may be involved in higher cognitive functions such as; language, attention, mental imagery and regulating pleasure and fear.\nWhen the cerebellum was first discovered it was thought to be separate from the brain. The function of the cerebellum wasn\u2019t discovered until the 19th century.\nWhat Is The Function Of The Basal Ganglia\nHow Many Cells Are In The Human Brain",

More than 200,000 of the regime\u2019s opponents were incarcerated there and tens of thousands of them were, beaten, starved, tortured or worked to death.\nLike nearly all of the Nazi\u2019s former concentration camps in Germany, Sachsenhausen now functions as a memorial museum which attracts some 400,000 visitors annually. The vast majority of the memorial camps are state run and until yesterday it had been widely assumed that entry at all of them was free.\nHowever Germany\u2019s Suddeutsche Zeitung newspaper today disclosed in an article headlined \u201cRemembrance:\nhttp://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/former-nazi-concentration-camp-charging-visitors-2303910.html\nTags: alternative media, Brandenburg, camp, Charging, concentration, concentration camps in germany, Death, former, independent managers, love, majority, memorial, NAZI, nazi concentration camp, nazi war crimes, private tour guide, site, suddeutsche zeitung, third reich, today, Visitors, we are change\nFederal Audit Warns FDA Critically Endangers Our Food Supply\nAngry villagers block highway to demand closure of nuclear plant in southern India",

Yet there are a number of people who don\u2019t realize that one of the best ways to go about making the most of their travel time and money is to go first to a travel agent. A travel agent is an expert in the complicated details of arranging travel \u2026 figuring out routes and itineraries, reservations and costs.\nExperienced travelers use a travel agent\u2019s many services because he can get confirmed hotel accommodations and other reservations in advance-so important in countries where space is limited. Furthermore, it\u2019s such a convenience to have all your travel-details handled for you.\nAnd remember, it often saves you time and money when you utilize the services of a travel agent. Travel agents sell on a commission basis, paid by the companies they are authorized to represent. Since they represent a wide variety of transportation, hotel and tour organizations in various price brackets, they can give you advice on filling your individual need\u2019s and wishes. A travel agent knows best how to keep your travel costs down.\nOften the travel agent can save you money by safeguarding you against mistakes and blunders that are not only embarrassing but costly. Also he often knows of travel, conducted and independent tours or sightseeing bargains that would otherwise not be known to you, or that are purchasable here, but not in the countries you plan to visit.\nThe trip you are making can be a high point in your life. Let your travel agent show you how.\nHow to save money when traveling photo\nHow to travel internationally easily and cheaply\nPrevious Previous post: Do I still need a travel agent photo\nNext Next post: How to plan a wedding shower photo",

        "raw_content": "ROSS\u2019S GOOSE by Kate Redmond\nWhat gets birders out of bed and into the field, year after year? For most, it\u2019s the simple act of being out in the field, along with the opportunity to see and hear some amazing animals. And, there\u2019s always the possibility, since birds were issued wings, but not road maps, of spotting a rarity. The Big Sit on October 8? Mission accomplished.\nOne of the high points of the day was the sighting of several Ross\u2019s Geese in a flock of Canada Geese. Ross\u2019s Geese are a western species that breeds in the High Arctic and along the western shore of Hudson Bay. The Arctic birds overwinter in central California, but the Hudson Bay population, which has been increasing in recent decades, migrates just beyond our borders, through Minnesota and the Dakotas, to parts of northern Mexico, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, and Louisiana. The state\u2019s first recorded Ross\u2019s Goose was seen by renowned Wisconsin ornithologists Joseph Hickey and Owen Gromme at Horicon Marsh in 1959; a year later, a hunter shot and photographed a bird he identified as a Snow Goose (an easy mistake to make) \u2013 the bird was not available for confirmation because it was eaten.\nThey are petite geese, noticeably smaller than the company they keep. They look like Snow Geese, white with black wing tips, and like Snow Geese, they come in a white and a less common dark/\u201dblue\u201d color phase or morph. Most of the field marks are comparisons to their companion Snow/Blue Geese, and the two species do hybridize. A good comparison is available on the Kentucky Ornithological Society website http://biology.eku.edu/kos/goose_id.htm.\nRoss\u2019s Geese are, like the Big Sit birds, usually seen in Wisconsin in flocks of other species of geese that they have joined for migration. On the Wisconsin Society for Ornithology\u2019s checklist of state birds (http://wsobirds.org/checklist-of-wisconsin-birds), their status is listed as \u201crare/very rare but regular.\u201d\nRoss's and Canada Geese - https://commons.wikimedia.org",

        "raw_content": "What\u2019s next for the former Delaware Valley High School site in East Falls?\nThe school year is in full swing across the city, but the site of the former Delaware Valley High School in East Falls is quiet, after the school district severed its relationship with the troubled school for troubled students.\nWhich begs the question: Now that the school East Falls never wanted is gone, what will happen to the property, which sits in a key location near the intersection of Ridge and Midvale avenues, in the neighborhood\u2019s commercial hub?\nMark Sherman, who owns the property that sits between Ridge Avenue and Kelly Drive, said he\u2019s settling details of his lease with DVHS, then will consider a lease or sale of the site at 4333 Kelly Drive.\n\u201cThe most likely user will be a school or a developer to redevelop the entire site, something that would enhance the community and the business district,\u201d Sherman said in an email. He did not respond to further interview requests about the property or its future.\nAs NewsWorks\u2019 Benjamin Herold has reported, the school district brought in another operator to take over a DVHS site in Southwest Philadelphia attended by 200 city high school students. But another 300 students who had attended the disciplinary school at the DVHS East Falls campus were redistributed to other other \u201ctransition schools\u201d in other parts of the city.\nAfter a City Council session last Thursday, Fourth District Councilman Curtis Jones, Jr. talked to NewsWorks about what he hopes for the future of that site.\n\u201cWhat I care most about is the constituents that it serves,\u201d Jones said. \u201cIt has been my opinion and it continues to be my opinion, that that\u2019s a place for economic development \u2013 retail. That wasn\u2019t a good location [for a school] then and it\u2019s not a good location now.\u201d\nThe site is now empty, and in recent days the only activity has been landscapers trimming bushes and grass. The school district severed its business relationship with DVHS late last month, amid lawsuits, financial woes and an ongoing FBI probe reportedly into whether David T. Shulick, the for-profit school\u2019s chief executive officer, used political influence to secure district contracts.\nThe property sits within a block zoned for Neighborhood Commercial Mixed Uses, \u201cprimarily intended to accommodate active, pedestrian-friendly retail and service uses in commercial nodes and along commercial corridors.\u201d It is also subject to the East Falls Neighborhood Commercial Area overlay, which governs setbacks from Kelly Drive, sets parking requirements and signage.\nDVHS moved into the site in 2009, over the objections of at least 1,000 East Falls residents who signed petitions against it. It\u2019s adjacent to the nearby site where developer Onion Flats is planning a 123-unit apartment complex called Ridge Flats.\nNewsWorks has partnered with independent news gatherer PlanPhilly to provide regular, in-depth, timely coverage of planning, zoning and development news.

        "raw_content": "Rescuers search rubble in east China after tornado kills 78\nYANCHENG, China (AP) \u2014 Rescuers in eastern China searched Friday for survivors of a tornado and hailstorm that killed at least 78 people as it swept over a city's outskirts, destroying buildings, smashing trees and flipping vehicles on their roofs.\nThe tornado hit a densely populated area of farms and factories Thursday near the city of Yancheng in Jiangsu province, about 800 kilometers (500 miles) south of Beijing.\nNearly 500 people were injured, 200 of them critically, the official Xinhua News Agency reported. Roads were blocked with trees, downed power lines and other debris. Heavy rain and the possibility of further hailstorms and more tornadoes complicated rescue efforts, state broadcaster CCTV reported.\nOn Friday, rescuers worked to carry injured villagers into ambulances and deliver food and water to others, Xinhua reported.\nIn badly hit Xintu village, survivors grieved over lost relatives and surveyed the damage wrought on their homes.\n\"The people inside ran outside but the wind was too strong so they couldn't,\" villager Wang Shuqing told an Associated Press reporter. \"My family were all inside, they all died. The police then came and took the bodies out, I can't bear it.\"\nThe disaster has been declared a national-level emergency, and on a trip to Uzbekistan, Chinese President Xi Jinping ordered central government bodies to provide all necessary assistance.\nTents and other emergency supplies were already being sent from Beijing, CCTV said.\nThe network showed people carrying the injured to hospitals, cars and trucks lying upside down, street light poles snapped in half, and steel electricity pylons crumpled and lying on their side. Power and telephone communications were knocked out over a broad area.\n\"I heard the gales and ran upstairs to shut the windows,\" Xinhua quoted Xie Litian, 62, as saying. \"I had hardly reached the top of the stairs when I heard a boom and saw the entire wall with the windows on it torn away.\"\nThe roof then collapsed as he raced downstairs, Xie said. After sheltering in a corner for 20 minutes, he emerged to find the neighborhood transformed into a wasteland. \"It was like the end of the world,\" he said.\nJiangsu is a coastal province north of Shanghai. Yancheng is an ancient city with more than 8 million people.\nThe Jiangsu provincial fire and rescue service provided no word on casualties. It said on its microblog that the storm was accompanied by hail. Crews were dispatched to evacuate workers and secure chemicals and other potentially dangerous items at a sprawling solar panel factory in a Yancheng suburb, it said. No chemical leaks been reported, CCTV said.\nPhotos showed a wrecked three-story school with large trees strewn on its playing field. Its windows had been blown out and its roof and upper floor torn off, along with those of numerous other buildings.\nBodies were shown lying in the open or buried in rubble. At least one hog farm was hit, its livestock covered in bricks and roofing material.\nThe reports said the tornado struck at about 2:30 p.m. and hit Funing and Sheyang counties on the city's outskirts the hardest, with winds of up to 125 kph (78 mph).\nTornados occasionally strike southern China during the summer, but rarely with the scale of death and damage caused by the one on Thursday.\nThis year, southern and eastern China have experienced weeks of torrential rain and storms that have caused widespread flooding and dozens of casualties.\nThe southern part of the country is hit every year during the May-July monsoon season, but this rainy season has been particularly wet. Water levels in some major rivers have exceeded those of 1998, when China was hit by disastrous floods that affected 180 million people, according to state media reports.",

        "raw_content": "Renault cuts global market prediction amid China slowdown, South America woes\nRenault has downgraded its global industrywide expectations for this year \u2013 from a 2% gain down to a 1% increase. The reasons cited were the slowdown in China and the major drop in sales in Russia and Latin America. The company has been focusing on emerging markets to lessen its reliance in Europe.\nHowever, this strategy is being hindered by financial difficulties in Brazil, Russia, and Argentina. The automaker maintains its prediction of a 5% increase for this year\u2019s industrywide European deliveries. It also anticipates a bigger market share as buyers typically flock to new models.\nIn a statement last Tuesday, Chief Performance Officer Jerome Stoll said that the company will be able to hasten its growth in the second half of the year by reinforcing its position in Europe as well as with the release of many products in 2015.\nThe automaker reported a slight increase in sales of its cars by 0.7% in the first six months of the year. From 1.37 million deliveries the previous year, the company now posts 1.38 million cars and light commercial vehicles delivered. Its sales in Europe for the first half increased by 9.3% while its Americas\u2019 deliveries declined by 21% and its Eurasian sales (including Russia) dropped 10%.\nThe economic woes in Brazil and Argentina had hurt sales of its no-frills vehicles like the Duster SUV and Sandero hatchback. It is made worse by the 37% contraction of the Russian market as it is weighed down by worldwide sanctions. Its budget cars, most of which are Dacia models, posted a 5.4% drop in sales to 540,793 units, declining to 39% of total group sales compared to 42% the previous year.\nMeanwhile, the company\u2019s mid-market models had a 5.2% increase in registrations. It\u2019s likely that the shift in sales back to mainstream models will continue. Last Monday, Renault presented its new Talisman midsize sedan.\nThis is the fourth model that the brand is set to release this year. The other three are the Espace minivan, Kadjar compact SUV and the Kwid budget subcompact that is meant for the Indian market.\nTopics: renault, china, south america",

        "raw_content": "Top 10 Desert Safari Destinations in the World\nWhen you plan a desert safari trip, don\u2019t let the choices limited to the few well-known desert safaris. Here is the list of top ten desert safari destinations across the globe.\n1. The Arabian Desert\nWhen you think about the best deserts in the world, The Arabian Desert is undoubtedly on the top. Whether you go to Abu Dhabi or Dubai, it brings a full spectrum of fun and adventure. Feel the excitement of dune bashing or spend a splendid night in the camping site; the experience is mind-boggling. The best time to visit is between the months of October to April when the temperature is not terribly hot (it is still quite hot for people from Europe, Australia or the USA, though).\nOther than the great safari excursion, there are huge malls, hotels and theme parks in the twin cities of Abu Dhabi and Dubai.\n2. Jaisalmer Rajasthan, India\nThe next most amazing desert in the world is Jaisalmer in the Rajasthan state of India. The Thar Desert welcomes you with fullest of its charm in the months of October to March when the temperature is quite low. Jaisalmer is connected to the major cities in India by rail, road, and air. Every year, hundreds of people visit this magnificent place to enjoy sand dunes, camel ride, cultural shows and stupendous food. Desert camping in the vast lands of Jaisalmer is a memorable experience.\nApart from the safari tour, you have several places to visit in the city of Jaisalmer. It is a heritage Indian city with a glorious past.\n#3 Cairo, Egypt\nSahara Desert of Egypt is one of the most preferred deserts in the world. It is quite pleasant in the months of March to October as the average temperature doesn\u2019t go beyond 35 Degrees Celsius. Cairo, the capital city, offers superb desert safari trips to the famous \u2018Black Desert\u2019 and \u2018White Desert\u2019. You ride on the back of a camel or hire a 4-wheel drive vehicle to reach to the Safari camps. Overnight safari excursion is the most preferred tour. The world famous pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx are the most thrilling and exciting places in Cairo.\n#4 Muscat, Oman\nWahiba Sands of Muscat gain popularity in the recent times because of the quiet, picturesque sandy landscape. Like other desert safari destinations, you should avoid the summer months (April to September) when the heat is at the peak. The huge sand dunes offer adventurous dune bashing activities. Well-managed tents with luxury living facilities make the stay comfy. Guided tours in the Wahiba Desert bring unforgettable excursions to the tourists of the entire world.\n#5 Nevada, USA\nThe famous Black Rock Desert in the state of Nevada, USA is amongst the top-preferred deserts for safari tours. You should plan the trip between August to October and March to May when the weather is comfortable. The flat, gorgeous land is quite dry in summers. It is one of the most beautiful places in the world with a mind-blowing view of Calico and Jackson Mountain range on both sides. You can see some fabulous places like Fly Geyser that was created because of a geothermal test conducted in 1964.\nHighlights of Dune Buggy Safari\nDesert Safari Climate Details\nCelebrate Chinese New Year in Abu Dhabi\n#6 Kalahari Desert Africa\nThe Kalahari Desert is a beloved place for Desert Safari tours. South Africa is the most convenient place to visit this place as it is more accessible and tourist-friendly as compared to other countries. African Lion is the top attraction point. Not only the great Lion, but you have a plethora of animals in the sandy terrain of Kalahari Desert.\n#7 The Outback, Australia\nThough Australia is largely a lush green place, you have desert like dry land in the central part of it. The biggest desert is called The Great Victoria Desert. The place has been preserved and maintained by the World Wildlife Fund. There are very small shrubs and typical plants that grow in the extreme conditions of the desert. The place is the habitat of a few aboriginal tribes as well. Spend a phenomenal vacation in the dry yet superb desert of Australia.\n#8 Namib Desert\nThis desert is considered one of the oldest in the world. However, it is relatively less popular because of the overall situation in Namibia. Those who have seen this place admire the beautiful landscape and flora and fauna of Namib Desert. It is said that a few plants and animals found in this desert don\u2019t exist anywhere in the world. Situated in the middle of the High Island plateau and the Atlantic Ocean, the desert extends to Angola and South Africa, the two African countries. Another important place to visit is the Namib-Naufluft National Park. It is said to be the largest game reserve in the world. The Namib Desert is relatively less known but a wonderful place to visit.\n#9 Erg Chebbi Morocco\nIt is part of the great Sahara Desert. You must not miss the amazing experience of the Desert Safari in the proximity of gigantic sand dunes created by the wind-blown sand. The place is great for watching several species of bird, reptiles, and birds. Experts say that camel riding is the best way to see the beauty of this desert instead of a 4-wheel drive. Surreal landscape keeps you engaged with the mesmerizing views. Several tour companies offer luxurious and comfy tours to the desert of Erg Chebbi Morocco. You can pick the best one after reading reviews and customer feedback.\n#10 White Sands, USA\nWhen you think of the desert, you imagine golden brown or black color.

        "title": "Invasive lionfish - AccessScience from McGraw-Hill Education",
        "raw_content": "When organisms establish new, enduring populations in locations outside their native ranges, they are called invasive species. Because invasive species can significantly disrupt the sensitive interactions within the ecology of preexisting communities, they can pose a serious threat to the integrity and maintenance of ecosystems. See also: Biodiversity; Ecological communities; Ecology; Ecosystem; Invasive species and their effects on native species\nOne such instance of an invasive species having dramatic and drastic consequences in the marine realm concerns the red lionfish (Pterois volitans). This beautifully colored, venomous fish is indigenous to the reefs and corals of the western Pacific Ocean, ranging from Japan to Australia. Yet, since the early 2000s, this fish has also become firmly established along the United States coastlines of the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico (from Florida to Connecticut, although mostly from North Carolina southwards to the Florida Keys) and the Caribbean coasts of Central America and South America. See also: Biogeography; Invasion ecology; Population ecology; Scorpaeniformes\nRed lionfish (Pterois volitans). (Photo by Milan Ko\u0159\u00ednek)\nThoughtless human intervention is the likely cause of the lionfish's entry into the Atlantic Ocean. Lionfish are popular home aquarium fish. In the 1980s, it was noted that some aquariumists intentionally released these pet fish into the waters along the U.S. southeastern Atlantic coastline, which could have set the stage for lionfish to begin their invasive dominance. Another, less probable possibility involves the ballast water of commercial ships. In the past, numerous marine species (for example, zebra mussels) have been transferred to new locales via the ballast water of large ocean-going vessels. See also: Ecological succession; Marine transportation and the environment\nBecause lionfish are not endemic inhabitants of the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, they have very few natural predators in these regions and can thrive, outcompeting other fish species for food resources. In doing so, they have disrupted the ecological dynamics and food-web health of the local coral-reef communities. See also: Ecological competition; Food web\nCamouflage and speed are the main weapons that lionfish use to capture prey. (Lionfish are also armed with venom, which they can deliver through numerous needle-like defensive spines, but it does not play a role in the fish's predatory capabilities.) In particular, lionfish devour juvenile grunts, snapper, and grouper, as well as small crustaceans such as shrimp. Investigations have shown that lionfish are rapidly depleting the stock of native fishes. For example, more than 1000 lionfish per acre have been found in some areas, far surpassing the densities of the local reef fish species. Indeed, since the lionfish's introduction, the populations of local reef fish have declined by 80%. Thus, the reef communities are being altered and many native species are facing extinction. See also: Coral reef complexity; Endangered species; Extinction (biology); Population viability; Predator-prey interactions; Reef\nUnfortunately, there is no pat solution to combat this problem. Large-scale control measures and management strategies to eradicate the lionfish are generally considered to be impractical and too costly. In general, firmly established invasive species in marine environments are impossible to remove and eliminate. Some concerned parties are encouraging more human consumption of lionfish in hopes that a market for them will help to reduce their numbers, but the effectiveness of this strategy is still unproved.\nM.

        "raw_content": "What types of waste electronics can the ATI process treat?\nIn principle any mix of waste electronics, from laptop computers to toasters, is possible. Most economic value is recovered from circuit boards, so waste with a high content of circuit boards is desirable.\nOne of the big advantages of the ATI process is that it does not rely on pre-sorting or disassembly, saving greatly on labor cost. This makes it competitive with processing overseas.\nMaterials need to be size reduced before the ATI process. A full-size operation needs parts not to exceed 4 inches in any dimensions, a size easily achieved by commercially available shredders.\nHow does the ATI process work?\nThe process is based on vacuum cracking of the polymer constituents. This method ensures that organic compounds are broken down into smaller molecules but not gasified. This allows the condensation of the majority of the organic fraction as fuel oil, generating a valuable product and greatly reducing the amount of off-gas treatment needed.\nPyrolysis breaks down the organic material in the smallest possible units, leading to an all-gaseous product. Not only has this product low commercial value, it requires a large off-gas treatment effort. The cost for the off-gas treatment in pyrolysis can exceed the cost for the pyrolysis itself.\nWhat kind of solid products does the ATI process generate?\nThe solid product stream is dominated by a metals and a sand fraction. Common metals like steel and aluminum from housings, brackets, screws etc are removed by standard metal recovery techniques like magnetic and eddy current separation.\nPrecious metals are located in the sand fraction \u2014 there is no char in the traditional sense because nearly all carbon is volatilized. The majority of the sand fraction is due to glass fiber content of circuit boards and fillers in the polymers and paints. The exact percentage of precious metals in the sand is dependent upon the feedstock.\nAll metals in the waste stream can be processed through the unit, however. Advantages of running all metals include: no pre-separation to reduce costly labor steps, removal of organic contaminants (i.e., plastics, paints, etc.) from the metal and up to 100% recovery of available metals.\nExactly what products are ultimately made?\nCarbon fiber, glass, ceramics, fillers, etc. typically wind up in the sand fraction with the precious metals. Precious metals can be recovered via electrowinning, leaching, or another common means of metals. Precious metals can be recovered via electrowinning, leaching, or another common means of metal refinement. The remainder of the sand is typically not separated further as it does not contain any valuable products. This is the only waste generated in the process.\nLarger metal fractions are recovered as bulk pieces that can be separated and/or treated using conventional refinement/reprocessing including magnetic separators and eddy current technologies. Main marketable products include steel, aluminum, and copper scrap.\nOrganics (hydrocarbons) are recovered by condensing as liquids, which can then be used directly as a fuel source or further refined. A significant reduction in gaseous emissions results from this process.\nOur current pilot plant is capable of processing 25-50 lb/hr (12-25 kg/hr); rate is somewhat dependent upon the nature of the feedstock, especially density.\nYou have had an e-waste pilot plant operating for 15 years \u2014 why has it not moved to full scale during that time?\nThe investment required to move the technology along as a comprehensive process is too large for a small business to accommodate. Marketing initially was aimed at individual investors for stand-alone operation. Incorporation as a complementary part of a larger scale metal recovery operation may be a more favorable means of moving the technology forward.\nATI is a research and development company, not a waste processor. As such we are looking for partners who are interested in operating a facility, adding the capability to treat e-waste to an existing facility, or want to own an independent operation.\nNo, this is not a one-size-fits-all operation. Facilities will have to be designed for operational requirements like the quantity and type of waste, local resources, and local regulatory requirements. While we have designs available, engineering will have to be done by licensed firms familiar with the locality and its requirements.\nDo you have any sort of business model showing more detail of potential revenues and costs on an e-waste plant?\nThe model includes feedstock materials as a percent of the overall fraction, output percentages based on actual test results, input materials pricing (e.g. price of gold), as well as what market price percent is estimated to be obtainable for the recovered materials.\nAs the ATI process also recycles plastics, there are similar input and output values for the plastics, including whether the recovered materials have process energy and/or commercial value.\nA 100/ton a day standalone facility would require a $15 Million investment. Co-located plants start at about $5 Million.",

        "title": "Building Effective Teams, Part One: Team Underperformance Is Common and Costly",
        "raw_content": "Building Effective Teams, Part One: Team Underperformance Is Common and Costly\nAs a 2016 Harvard Business Review article points out, \"Collaboration is taking over the workplace. As business becomes increasingly global and cross-functional, silos are breaking down, connectivity is increasing, and teamwork is seen as a key to organizational success.\"\nIn this era of collaboration, building effective teams is critical to achieving business success. After all, you'll rely on the strength of your teams to create and drive your company's value.\nWhy Teamwork Matters\nYour teams perform so many core business functions on a regular basis: They solve strategic problems, drive innovation, serve the needs of your customers, offer competitive advantages and impact your bottom line.\nAs the New York Times Magazine points out, effective teamwork is a win-win for organizations and workers alike. Studies have shown that \"people working in teams tend to achieve better results and report higher job satisfaction,\" while company \"profitability increases when workers are persuaded to collaborate more.\"\nTeam Underperformance\nToday's business leaders are increasingly aware of the value of building effective teams, and research and front-page business news continue to confirm the connection between effective teamwork and revenue growth. As a result, one might assume that business teams are currently performing at all-time high levels. Unfortunately, this is not the case.\nIn their book, Senior Leadership Teams: What It Takes to Make Them Great, four pioneering organizational psychologists presented the results from their study, which measured the performance of 120 senior leadership teams from companies of all sizes. An eye-popping four out of five of those senior leadership teams performed at levels that were described as either \"poor\" (42 percent) or \"mediocre\" (37 percent). This type of poor performance often sets a negative tone for the organization as a whole.\nWhen thinking about how to build effective teams, it's also important to consider cross-functional teams, which are often created to drive innovation, solve key business problems or otherwise meet customer needs. Stanford Professor Behnam Tabrizi, an expert in organizational transformation, studied cross-functional teams in several industries, including software, retail, pharmaceuticals and banking. He published his research findings in a 2015 Harvard Business Review article, with a title that tells the depressing story: \"75% of Cross-Functional Teams Are Dysfunctional.\"\nTabrizi found that cross-functional teams often failed because they coudn't align with their company's corporate goals, meet customer expectations, adhere to specifications, stay on schedule or meet a planned budget. To make matters worse, some cross-functional teams couldn't even agree on a common language or methodology to discuss their problems.\nThe High Costs of Team Failure\nUnderperforming teams can have a major negative effect on your business as a whole. In fact, downfalls in your team structure can lead to failed projects, lost revenues, disengaged talent and a damaged organizational culture. When teams underperform, the work often doesn't get done, the blame game begins, your most talented people may leave for greener pastures, employee engagement can decrease and your bottom line may suffer.\nThankfully, by establishing a solid understanding of the specific conditions and factors that lead to team success, you can work to avoid paying the heavy costs associated with underperforming teams.

I have painted and exhibited since the mid 70's but I have had different jobs to supply me up to 1986 when I geared my focused entirely on painting.\nA period in the 90s, I worked with wall paintings and murals, by commission. I've been commissioned to work on both public buildings, and many private companies. Since the late 90s, I've gone back to painting on canvas again.\nMy images are mostly depictions of people and their emotions. More or less abstract and symbolic often with bright colors. I also use mixed media and I sculpt, mostly in papier mach\u00e9.

        "raw_content": "Introduction to Codex\nIrish Codex Activities\nYou are here: Home \u00bb Food Safety, Public Health & Consumer Issues \u00bb Food Safety Legislation \u00bb Codex Alimentarius \u00bb Introduction to Codex\nWhat is Codex Alimentarius\nThe Codex Alimentarius Commission was established in 1961-1963 by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) to implement their Joint FAO/WHO Food Standards Programme. Codex Alimentarius is Latin for \u2018code\u2019 and \u2018food\u2019, simply translated it means \u2018food code\u2019. It is a 14-volume collection of internationally adopted Food Standards, Codes of Practice, Guidelines and Recommendations.\nThe main aims of Codex Alimentarius are to:\nProtect the health of consumers\nEnsure fair practices in food trade\nPromote coordination of all food standards work undertaken by international governmental and non governmental organizations.\nThe Codex Alimentarius Commission, frequently referred to simply as \u201cCodex\u201d, today comprises of 185 member countries and one member organisation (EU) and 208 observers comprising United Nations Organisations, International Scientific Organisations, Consumer Organisations, Food Industry and Trade, who attend sessions as observers.\nImportance of Codex\nCodex has become the global food standards reference point for consumers, food producers and processors, national food control agencies and the international food trade. It has an influence on the thinking of food producers and processors as well as on the awareness of the end users \u2013 the consumers. Its influence extends to every continent, and its contribution to the protection of public health and fair practices in the food trade is immeasurable.\nWhile Codex standards and related texts are non-mandatory in nature, they have since 1995 become international benchmarks for food safety under the World Trade Organization\u2019s (WTO) Agreement on the Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures (SPS Agreement). The SPS Agreement considers that WTO members applying Codex standards meet their obligations under this Agreement. This means that Codex standards are considered scientifically justified and are accepted as the benchmarks against which national measures and regulations are evaluated. Although not specifically referenced, the Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT Agreement) also uses Codex standards as the international benchmark. As such, Codex standards have become the benchmarks against which national food measures and regulations are evaluated within the legal parameters of the WTO Agreements.\nThe Codex Alimentarius Commission works closely with other standards-setting bodies mentioned in the SPS Agreement \u2013 the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) and the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC). In recent times there has been increased collaboration with the standard setting activities of the OIE and Codex in relation to animal production food safety, in recognition of the importance of the farm to fork approach from primary producer to the consumer for effective management of food safety.\nHow does CODEX Operate\nThe Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) which meets annually, alternating between Rome and Geneva, is assisted by an Executive Committee and has the use of a small Secretariat based at the FAO headquarters in Rome. It has a relatively simple structure operating through a number of specialised committees and task forces and is supported by 3 standing expert scientific bodies convened under the auspices of FAO and WHO to generate food data and provide risk-assessment type advice:\nJoint Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA)\nJoint Meeting on Pesticide Residues (JMPR)\nJoint Meeting on Microbiological Risk Assessment (JEMRA)\nCodex Committees and Task Forces\nThe Codex system allows a unique opportunity for all countries to join the international community in formulating and harmonizing food standards and ensuring their global implementation. Codex standards are elaborated/revised by the relevant codex committee using an eight-step procedure, which normally involves the draft text being reviewed twice by the CAC and twice by member countries before it is finally adopted or accelerated to a five-step procedure from proposal to adoption.\nCodex 8 \u2013 Step Procedure\nStep 1: The Commission decides to elaborate a standard and assigns the work to a committee. A decision to elaborate a standard may also be taken by a committee.\nStep 2: The Secretariat arranges preparation of a proposed draft standard.\nStep 3: The proposed draft standard is sent to governments and international organizations for comment.\nStep 4: The Secretariat forwards comments to the committee.\nStep 5: The proposed draft standard is sent to the Commission through the Secretariat for adoption as a draft standard.\nStep 6: The draft standard is sent to governments and international organizations for comment.\nStep 8: The draft standard is submitted to the Commission through the Secretariat for adoption as a Codex standard.\nCodex 5 \u2013 Step Accelerated Procedure\nStep 1: The Commission decides to elaborate a standard on the basis of consensus or a two-thirds majority of votes cast using the accelerated procedure and assigns the work to a committee.\nStep 3: The proposed draft standard is sent to governments and international organizations for comment. When standards are subject to the accelerated procedure, Members of the Commission and the interested international organizations are notified.\nStep 4: The Codex Secretariat forwards comments to the committee for consideration and amendments to the proposed draft standard.\nStep 5: The proposed draft standard subject to the accelerated elaboration procedures is sent to the Commission through the Secretariat, along with any written proposals from Members and interested international organizations, for adoption as a Codex standard.\nCodex Standards are adopted by consensus. Voting is rare, and only occurs if efforts to reach consensus have failed.\nEuropean Union Membership of Codex\nThe 27 Member States of the European Union are all members of the Codex Alimentarius Commission. In 2003, the European Community also became a full member of the Codex Alimentarius Commission and shares the competence with its Member States on the basis of the level of harmonisation of the relevant legislation. Since the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon on 1 December 2009, the European Union replaced the European Community.\nCompetence is assigned as follows:\nThe European Union has exclusive competence for matters on which the rules have already been harmonised, either fully or to a large extent, at Community level. In such cases, the Commission speaks and votes in the name of the Community, although Member States have the right to speak to support and develop the Community position and to react to contributions from other countries;The Member States have exclusive competence for all organisational matters (for example, legal or budgetary questions) and for procedural matters (for example, the election of chairpersons, the adoption of agendas and the approval of minutes);Competence is shared where rules have been only partially harmonised: the vote is exercised either by the Member States or the Community, depending on the degree of harmonisation achieved. In such cases, the Presidency and the Commission put forward the common position. Member States may also speak in order to support and/or develop the Community position and to react to contributions.\nBefore each Codex meeting, EU coordination takes place in Brussels at the Council Working Party level to prepare the common EU position and decide on division of competence as between Member States, EU and mixed competence.\nBefore each Codex meeting, an annotated agenda indicating the breakdown of competence and voting rights is submitted to the Codex Secretariat for distribution among all participants at the Codex meeting.\nIn addition, the Member States and the Commission have the right to participate in the Codex working groups and drafting committees and express their opinions there. Member State and Commission representatives endeavour to reach a common position and defend this during discussions in the working groups and drafting committees.\nThe Health and Consumer Directorate-General (SANCO) acts as the European Union Codex Contact Point.\nRepresentation at Codex Sessions\nRepresentation at Codex sessions is on a member country basis with delegations usually comprised of government officials. Numerous accredited international government and non-government organisations also participate as observers.",

We as bankers are pleased to have committed to support the business over the next three years with an innovative financing solution that will enable it to continue to invest in its mills throughout the UK.\u201d\nDairy sector in difficult times\nSpeaking to The Scotsman Powell said: \"We have seen very few credit problems with either farmers or merchants in recent months. Most are paying their bills on time. However, as a feed supplier, we are concerned about the dairy sector.\n\"The mass exodus of producers which we have seen over the past year has now slowed to little more than a dribble.

        "raw_content": "LG Executive in Hot Water After Damaging Samsung Washer\nYou know the old saying, \"don't worry about it, it will all come out in the wash,\" well the head of LG's Home Appliance and Air Solution Company, Jo Seong-jin, is hoping those words come true as his 'dirty laundry' is aired in the courtroom. What can only be described as bad scene out of \"Fast Times at Ridgemont High\" where Mike said, \"I woke up in a great mood; I don't know what the hell happened,\" as Jo was banned from traveling to the upcoming CES show in Las Vegas.\nJo and four other LG Electronics executives were hit with a lawsuit from Samsung, which claims that earlier this year, after the IFA trade show in Berlin; the LG executives intentionally sabotaged the door hinges of one of Samsung's washing machines at an electronics store. Although they vehemently denied damaging the machine, Samsung provided evidence of both the washing machine and the CCTV footage showing that Jo \"willfully\" damaged the washing machine. LG is counter suing Samsung for defamation and evidence tampering.\nThe other four LG executives have complied with the courts and their investigation, so they are allowed to leave the country to attend the CES tradeshow in Las Vegas. However, Jo has ignored multiple requests to come in and talk with the investigators, instead telling them he will comply when he returns from CES in early January, but so far, the courts have ignored his requests. It would look pretty bad if the head of LG's Home Appliance was not allowed to attend the biggest electronics show and Samsung is using this as proof of the seriousness that the courts are considering this act of sabotage.\nLG and Samsung may be from the same country of South Korea, but they are fiercely competitive rivals. Many think of smartphones when they hear Samsung and LG, but the truth is that they make Smart TVs and a full array of smart home appliances - from refrigerators to washers and dryers. There is a joke that goes something like this - Why don't men do the laundry? Because the washer and dryer don't run with a remote control! Even that is about to change as Wi-Fi ready washers and dryers can now be controlled with an app on your smartphone or tablet, so men, pull out that smartphone and get ready to start washing clothes. Please hit us up on our Google+ Page and let us know if you own any LG or Samsung appliances and what you think of them...as always, we would love to hear from you.\nSamsungLGAndroid Phones",

Andrew Cuomo has announced that $7.5 million in funding is available for municipalities as part of the Smart Street Lighting NY program.\nThe program aims to replace at least 500,000 street lights across the state with energy-saving LED technology by 2025.\nMunicipalities can apply for up to $500,000 in funding. The cities of Albany, Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse and Yonkers are eligible for $2.5 million. The other $5 million will go toward other municipalities.\nThe funding was approved Wednesday by the New York Power Authority board of trustees.\nCuomo says upgrading street lighting will improve public safety and help the environment.",

        "raw_content": "Shayne Looper: Why I keep an empty Coke can on my shelf\nWhen I was young, my parents or other adults occasionally quoted to me the old saw, \u201cYou can\u2019t judge a book by its cover.\u201d I haven\u2019t heard that for a long time. It\u2019s as if the maxim has dropped out of contemporary parlance. Apparently, a metaphor about a book and its cover no longer strikes home in our digital world.\nNevertheless, the adage stands: You still can\u2019t judge a book by its cover. A torn and tattered cover may contain a priceless book while an attractive cover may surround 300 pages of rubbish. Or vice-versa. When I visit a used bookstore, I largely ignore splashy, contemporary covers. Perhaps I have missed some great, even life-changing, books because I was judging them by their covers.\nHowever, no one was ever speaking about books when they shared that bit of wisdom with me. They were always thinking of people. The point is always: You can\u2019t judge a person by the way he or she looks.\nIsn\u2019t that the truth? Sometimes it\u2019s the people who appear to have it all together that are falling apart, the people who seem full of confidence that are sad and empty. The psychologist Madeline Levine has identified a new variety of unhappy teenagers. In the past, they were often socially inept kids who got poor grades and struggled to fit in. Now the unhappy teen is increasingly likely to be smart, successful, and privileged \u2014 yet lost and profoundly empty.\nFor Dr. Levine, one client epitomizes this new type of adolescent unhappiness. She was her last appointment on a Friday afternoon, a 15-year-old girl Levine described as \u201cbright, personable, (and) highly pressured by her adoring, but frequently preoccupied \u2026 parents.\u201d\nShe wore a long-sleeve t-shirt pulled halfway over her hand, with an opening cut in the cuff for her thumb. Since girls sometimes wear these kinds of shirts to hide self-mutilating behaviors, the therapist asked her to pull back her sleeve. When she did, Dr. Levine was startled to find the girl had used a razor to carve the word \u201cEMPTY\u201d onto her forearm.\nLevine says that the most common thing she hears from kids these days is, \u201cI\u2019m fake.\u201d On the surface, their lives look good. They are successful students with many friends. They leave school in new cars that take them to beautiful homes with manicured lawns. \u201cBut,\u201d Dr. Levine says, \u201cwhen you get to what\u2019s going on beneath these kids\u2019 T-shirts, there\u2019s not much happening inside.\u201d They are empty.\nEmptiness is a disorder that affects adults as well as teens, religious as well as irreligious people. As a pastor, I have met many religious people, including clergy, who look good on the outside but are empty on the inside. They dress right, use the most up-to-date phrases and buzzwords and, frankly, are an impressive sight. But they are, in the prophet Jeremiah\u2019s memorable metaphor, \u201cbroken cisterns that cannot hold water.\u201d They are empty.\nThat may not always have been the case. They may once have been full of life and enthusiasm but, as a friend of mine says, \u201cPeople leak.\u201d The outside still looks good, but the inside is empty.\nOn a bookshelf in my study I keep an empty Coke can. It\u2019s not empty because someone drank it. It is sealed, the pull-top still in place, the familiar white Coca-Cola logo emblazoned on the shiny red can. It came in a case of Coke in which every other can was full, but this one was empty.\nI keep it as a reminder that I can look fine on the outside \u2014 proper, pious, kind \u2014 and yet be empty on the inside, a disappointment to those who are thirsting for something real. People are thirsting, but they will never quench their thirst on the way a thing looks.\nJesus pictured (and lived) a different kind of life, one that is rich and full, and enlivens others. He spoke of the availability of a life in which \u201crivers of living water\u201d flow from within a person to refresh those around him. This life, as he made clear, is given to those who trust and obey him, but constantly eludes those who rely on appearances.",

        "raw_content": "In time for American Thanksgiving, artist Hannah Rothstein has created a series of thanksgiving plates served in the style of well-known artists. Each artwork depicts a clean white plate laden with various thanksgiving-themed foodstuffs that echo famous artworks with careful placement. Keith Haring, for example, is represented with a figure made of corn surrounded by green bean movement lines. Salvador Dali\u2019s plate is distorted and stretched through digital editing. Rothstein did a similar project last year, and like last year, a portion of sales of her limited-edition prints of the plate will go to the SF Marin Food Bank.\n2) Street Artists #SprayforParis\nStreet artists the world over are showing their support for Paris in light of the recent terrorist attacks in the French capital. Numerous Instagram posts under the hashtag #sprayforparis have been posted by graffiti artists and muralists. Each artwork expresses unique and heartfelt support for the victims of the attacks, not to mention the city and the French people at large.\n3) Unseen Art Wants to Bring Classics to the Blind\nA new project called Unseen Art is using 3-D printers to create models of famous artworks so that the blind can \u201csee\u201d the works through touch. Started by a Finnish design team, the project\u2019s goal is to make art accessible to the blind and visually impaired by recreating works as three-dimensional models that are free to download and print from any 3-D printer. For its prototype, the group selected the Mona Lisa, recreating the painting as life-sized three dimensional model in a single shade of grey. The project, which hopes to go global and incorporate many more famous artworks, is currently collecting funding on Indiegogo.\n4) Rijksmuseum Wants Visitors to Stay and Sketch\nThe Rijksmuseum in the Amsterdam has asked that visitors do not take photographs during their visit, but instead take time to sketch the artworks. The museum says that it wants to encourage people to spend more time with each artwork, rather than snapping a quick photo on a smartphone before moving on. In conjunction with its new suggestions, the museum is handing out free pencils and sketchpads, as well as holding drawing classes on Saturdays. Some of the sketches done by visitors are already available for viewing on Instagram.\n5) Art Thieves Steal 17 Works From Verona Museum\nIn what sounds like an absolutely classic movie-style art heist, a group of masked thieves has stolen seventeen artworks from a museum in Verona, Italy. The four men broke into the Castelvecchio last Thursday evening, just before the museum was to close for the day. The works taken had an estimated value of between $10 and $17 million. Italy\u2019s art-theft police force (which is apparently a thing!) is on the case.\nNext article: Bright and Bubbly Artworks by Clara Fialho\nHeadlines: Wigs, Christmas Trees and Slides",

        "raw_content": "Bust \"Queen Louise of Prussia\"\nA sculpture of the upper bust of one of the most famous women in the 18th century.\nThis bust of Queen Louise of Prussia was made by famous sculpture Johann Gottfried Schadow. The sculpture is a homage to the wife of King Frederick William III whose kind heart and altruistic personality earned her the respect and adoration of the Prussian people. As such, a bust with such intricate details of her head and upper body is the ideal form of reverence to Prussia's Queen Consort who gave her people hope and strength through her actions during the Napoleonic Wars.\nBefore Princess Diana, the endearment \"Queen of Hearts\" was given by a German poet to Queen Louise. She was such a famous and an admired sovereign and political actor during her time that until today she is remembered as the woman who stood up to Napoleon Bonaparte during the Napoleonic Wars. Despite her prominence in the political sphere through supporting her husband, King Frederick William III, she was still a fashion icon and impressed others with her intelligence and charisma. Her tragic death at the young age of 34 caused such grievance among the Prussians and those who knew of her but has also given rise to a huge following of her legacy for the years to come.\n- Material: marble porcelain\n- Dimensions: 14 cm\nEmperor Nero Bust Replica\nBust of Homer the Greek..\nRoman bust of Emperor N..\nBust of Plato The Greek..\nEmperor Tiberius Replic..\nRoman bust of Emperor V..",

        "raw_content": "I am in the market for a new car. I currently have a Honda Civic, which is my second Honda. I would like a car that's a bit on the sporty side, maybe a hatchback, something that's good in the snow, great gas mileage and finally extremely reliable. I keep buying Honda's because I never have any problems with them and I don't have to worry about the car too much. Do you have any suggestions for me? I was looking at the Audi A3, but it's a bit on the pricey side. Thanks, Maria\nPosted Nov 17th by Maria Favata the owner of a Honda Civic\nMaria, Here are some links with reviews for many differnet platforms. Remember it's important to test dirve every vehicle you are considering and make sure you choose the car that will work best ro YOU. You might be interested in a wagon: http://www.automotive.com/new-cars/02/wagons/index.html Here are some great reviews on hatchbacks as well: http://www.automotive.com/new-cars/02/hatchbacks/index.html Here are some reviews done by our experts: http://askpatty.typepad.com/ask_patty_/2006/10/expert_car_wome.html And for mom friendly vehicle reviews, try www.MotherProof.com Remember these tips before you buy a car: 15 Must-Know Automotive Terms by Lauren Fix, The Car Coach\u00ae Do you ever feel that the car dealers are speaking Greek or some foreign language? Do you need a translator? The auto dealers are not trying to trick you; language is just something you will need to learn, sort of like talking to a doctor or a chef. I have translated the 15 most common terms to help you understand the terms so that you can negotiate the best deal. Add-on interest: Interest that is computed at the beginning of the loan, and then added to the principal, so that all must be repaid, even if the loan is paid off early. Base price: The cost of a car without any options. This price includes standard equipment and the manufacturer's warranty and is printed on the Monroney sticker (window sticker). Blue Book or Book Price: Where do most dealers get the average going prices of vehicles, the Kelley Blue Book, an industry guide dealers use to estimate wholesale and retail vehicle pricing. This usually referred to as \"the blue book price\" it can actually refer to a price looked up in one of the many guides to pricing. You can find out these prices before you go to the dealer by going to a few web sites that offer ongoing updates. I prefer www.edmunds.com because their prices are based on your zip code. A four-wheel drive will have more value in snowy climates than in warm climates, so the values may change. Dealer holdback: An allowance, usually between 2 percent and 3 percent of manufacturer's suggested retail price that manufacturers provide to dealers. A holdback allowance may allow the dealer to pay the manufacturer less than the invoice price. A buyer could obtain a car below invoice price and the dealer would still make a profit. However, most dealers will not dig into their holdback, because that\u2019s what coverage their costs. Dealer incentives: Programs offered by manufacturers to increase the sales of slow-selling models or to reduce excess inventories. Dealers may elect to pass on the savings to the buyer. You can sometimes stack these incentives and there are also incentives for new drivers, college graduates and newlyweds so make sure to ask what\u2019s available. Dealer preparation, or dealer prep or preparation charges: An additional charge that dealers try to impose on buyers. It represents pure profit for the dealers, who have already been paid by the manufacturer for the cost of preparing the car for sale. Dealer prep is removing all the plastic, adding knobs and details to make the vehicle ready for delivery. Destination charge: The fee charged for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from the manufacturer or port of entry. This charge is to be passed on to the buyer without any markup. Extended warranty or Service contracts: A contract that covers certain car repairs or problems after the manufacturers or dealer's warranty expires. Car manufacturers, dealers and independent companies sell extended warranties. With a new car, the extended warranty usually must be purchased by the end of the first year of ownership. If you are keeping a vehicle more than 3 years this is a consideration, all vehicles are covered for 3 years of 36,000 miles some even cover 10 years or 100,000 miles \u2013 so think before you buy there are a lot of details to read. If you purchase an extended warranty make sure the dealer is doing the repairs and what the deductible may be. Invoice price: The manufacturer's initial charge to the dealer. The price may not be the dealer's final cost because dealers receive rebates and other incentives from the manufacturer. The invoice price always includes freight, also known as the destination charge. Monroney sticker or Dealer sticker price: The sticker on the car window that shows the base price, the manufacturer's installed options with the manufacturer's suggested retail price, the manufacturer's destination charge, and the car's fuel economy (mileage). Federal law requires this label and it is only removed when the purchaser sells the car. Named after \"Mike\" Monroney, a longtime Oklahoma congressman who wrote the Automobile Information Disclosure Act. Prepayment penalty: A lender's charge to the borrower for paying off the loan before the end of the term. Rebate: A manufacturer's reduction on the price of the car as an incentive to buyers. Rebates appeal to people with no credit or less-than-perfect credit who cannot qualify for the lowest-rate loan. A rebate may also appeal to first-time buyers who don't have a lot of cash for a down payment or another car to trade in. Rule of 78s: A mathematical formula that was devised in the days before modern calculators. The formula was a quick way for lenders in the 1920s and 1930s to estimate payoff amounts when a customer paid ahead on an installment loan. Some auto lenders still use the \"Rule of 78s\" formula to calculate a rebate of finance charges when a customer pays off a pre-computed loan early. For a borrower looking to end an auto loan early, there isn't a worse way a lender could calculate your payoff amount. The Rule of 78s formula packs extra interest charges into the early months of a loan. Using this rule, a lender typically collects three-quarters of a loan's interest in the first half of a loan term. This can only be applied to pre-computed loans that are paid ahead of schedule. The formula can\u2019t be applied to simple interest loans. Title: A legal document containing specific information about the vehicle and stating who owns it. If you borrow money to get a car, the lender will hold the title until the vehicle is paid off. In some states you will have the title mailed to you with a lien holder listed at the bottom. This is the ownership of the vehicle and MUST be stored in a safe place. If you lose this document it will take a lot of work and effort on your part so that you can sell of trade-in your vehicle. Trade-in value: The amount that the dealership will credit you for the vehicle you provide as partial or full payment for another vehicle. Amount credited is frequently about 5 percent below the wholesale value of the vehicle. Remember if you want a wholesale price on a car, you won\u2019t get a retail price on your trade-in. The Power of Taking Charge! THE POWER OF TAKING CHARGE THIS IS THE YEAR OF THE WOMAN, meaning that auto manufactures have discovered that 50% of the decision makers of auto purchasing are women. Manufactures have even implemented programs to train dealerships in how to work with women so they are at ease when walking in a showroom floor. THIS IS ALSO A BUYERS MARKET. It is great to know that manufactures are not only catering to women through dealer training programs and incentives but this is the time to be purchasing as there is an overabundance of vehicles in which the prices are more competitive. With this fabulous knowledge, it is grand to know that we as women, are powerful and important! In 1984 when I went to work in the NASCAR arena as a mechanic, I had to get out of the box in thinking like a woman...toughen up...and think like a guy to earn respect. I didn't know anyone in NASCAR and became creative how to get an appointment for my first mechanics job. I used a guy's approach which got me started working for a couple of teams without getting paid for it, but didn't complain. I had to show my determination, my skills, while keeping quiet, learning by watching, listening, and working twice as hard as anyone else. My plan worked and I ended up as a full time paid mechanic on Joe Ruttman's team in charge of brakes and tires. (It was when the tires were staggered.) I didn't date anyone, didn't bother the drivers, kept my values and earned respect from my teammates. When Richard Petty won his 200th win at the Firecracker 400 in Daytona Beach, our team won the fastest pit crew time, and I was part of that pit crew \u2013 as \u201ccatch can\u201d. I knew when the cameras were on me, because as I turned to go back over the wall, it was packed with photographers and TV cameras. They recognized my ponytail sticking out of my hat. The beauty of the entire experience was that I had a goal in mind and believed enough in that goal to not let petty situations sidetrack my focus. I took charge of my purpose became powerful with determination to succeed. One thing I didn't ever forget was that I was a woman in a man's world, a pioneer in the sport, at a time when very few women were recognized as professional. TODAY IT'S OUR WORLD...and WE HAVE COME A LONG WAY! The twist is wonderful, whereas in the 80's I was having to think like a guy to fit in the group, and now guys are learning to think like a woman just to get the autos sold! I LOVE IT! So let's talk about car buying. Here are some steps to take to help any woman feel at ease and to take charge when purchasing an auto. 1) RESEARCH - Before going into a dealership it is best to research what you want first through internet. Do you know what type of vehicle you want? Going to the manufacturers website will give you details without having to speak to a salesperson. You can do web search cost comparisons with your vehicle. TAKE CHARGE and create your own personal research facts. 2) DEALER INTERNET \u2013 Once you have done your research from other websites, then turn to the local dealer website that you chose to purchase your car from (or thinking about). Check their website out to see their prices. The internet prices are about as good as you can get because they are competing with other dealer website pricing. Compare those prices with your research. Also, check out their service department. Purchasing an auto isn't just about getting the best price, you will want to make sure they have the service to back up the vehicle. 3) OWN FINANCING / DEALER FINANCING \u2013 Research your own financing, as credit unions seem to have the best situations. When you are ready to make a purchase at the dealership, be prepared to have a resource of financing to compare with. Many dealers today have their own in-house program and work with twenty or more banks. Again...TAKING CHARGE is having your homework done so you can compare rates. For your information, dealers make more money selling used cars then new cars. Dealers can negotiate more with used cars. 4) MEETING WITH A SALESPERSON \u2013 Don't be afraid of this step. Remember that you are in charge the entire time. They are trained to cater to women and they are trained that honesty is what sells a woman. There really is something to a \u201cWOMAN'S INTUITION\u201d, and they know that. Let them know that you have done your research and have checked their website out. Stick with the price you want and hang tight. YOU HAVE DONE YOUR HOMEWORK. Ask as many questions as possible. They are working for you...so put them to work. There is no difference with cash or finance with auto buying to get a break. Once a vehicle and price have been decided upon, the salesperson will have to run this buy the sales desk. There may be rebates on certain vehicles that need to be checked. Again, remember it is a BUYERS MARKET. YOU ARE IN CONTROL. 5) WARRANTEES \u2013 There are great manufacture warranties that come with brand new cars, but if you have selected to purchase a used car I would suggest an extended warrantee as long as it is only with a manufacturer or a reputable company. Again, research as to what is best for your needs. 6) DEALER SERVICE \u2013 All vehicles out there are as good as the dealer servicing it. The buyer needs to feel comfortable \u2013 pick a dealer that will service you \u2013 even if you have to pay just a little bit more. TAKE CHARGE knowing that dealers are now wanting to make the female comfortable especially in the service arena. When it comes to taking your vehicle to the service department, I encourage EVERYONE to READ THE HAND BOOK \u2013 MAINTENANCE PROGRAM prior. Lift up your hood and understand what is under it. Everything is explained in the manufacturers handbook. There are diagrams to follow. THIS IS IMPORTANT TO TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR CAR. It is important to understand the maintenance to make sure it is taken care of. (My car comes first when getting the attention it needs.) Becomes friends with the service tech. Bring him a pizza for his lunch time, etc. Ask him about things you don't understand about the car. You will be surprised of the understanding, learning and respect you will receive by being truly interested in how everything works and how willing they are to share it with you. I used to sell cars in my early 20's and the outlook and focus concerning sales has changed drastically for the better. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER and through your research, you will have the ability to TAKE CHARGE and actually enjoy purchasing your auto. YOU ARE IN CONTROL!",

        "title": "Fortune Cookie Friday: Get a Hold of Your Habits | A. T. Baron",
        "raw_content": "A. T. Baron Fortune Cookie Friday\tAssociated Press, bad habit, Dr. Maxwell Maltz, European Journal of Social Psychology, good habit, good oral health, habits, Phillippa Lally, success, University College London\nThere was a recent article in the Associated Press about flossing and its lack of necessity for good oral health. Apparently, there is not enough evidence to prove that flossing actually improves your oral health, according to research conducted over the past decade.\nWait, my dentist told me that it was important to floss every day! Well, there are multiple arguments that the study was not accurate, and that you should not give up on flossing just yet.\nFlossing is one of those good habits your parents told you to do. When it was time for bed, I would tell my kids \u201cMake sure you brush your teeth, and don\u2019t forget to floss.\u201d Even if it turns out that flossing doesn\u2019t prevent cavities, there are certain spots a toothbrush can\u2019t clean. Floss can get there and help eliminate that ugly \u201cfood stuck in your teeth\u201d look. Trust me, nobody looks good with spinach stuck in their smile.\nYou probably have plenty of habits in your life, good and bad. You may brush your teeth after every meal, or drink plenty of water. Perhaps you have a habit of biting your nails, or picking your nose. Admit it! We all do it\u2014at least use a tissue. These habits are hard to break.\nImagine it\u2019s the night before a big test. You sit there pouring over your notes, hoping that you will remember the quadratic equation, the names of all the presidents, or the names of all the bones in the human body. You cringe that you should have started studying earlier\u2014like three weeks ago. Instead, you struggle through and hope for the best. This is an example of a bad study habit. You might do well on that current test, but the information is only stored in your short-term memory. If you had studied a little each day, it would move from short term to long-term. Besides lasting longer, there is a greater capacity in your long-term memory.\nSome of the things you learn you will want to remember far into the future. OK, so maybe knowing all of the presidents might not be that important to you, but if you were studying to be a doctor\u2014which takes a long time\u2014you will want to remember most of what you learn in school. Studying every day is a good habit. It will help you succeed at your goal at becoming a doctor.\nIt should be obvious that good habits can improve you and bad habits can harm you. This is especially true when it come to your goals in life. For example, you want to run the local marathon and you need to train. You certainly wouldn\u2019t go to the race without training. You could seriously injure yourself if you\u2019re not prepared to run the long distances of a marathon. So, you make sure that you include some running into your daily schedule. You will soon build up endurance, and with practice, you will be in shape to take on the distance of the race.\nMaybe you are taking piano lessons, or a foreign language. The only way you will improve, and master the subject, is to practice. \u201cPractice makes perfect.\u201d You might not cause any bodily injury if you don\u2019t practice the piano, but if you were going to perform on stage in front of an audience, you will want to be sure you know the piece of music well. An injured psyche can hurt just as much as a torn muscle.\nAn example of an incredibly bad habit is smoking. There are numerous health problems caused by smoking, not to mention nicotine is very addictive. It doesn\u2019t take long to become addicted to smoking, or other drugs. Unfortunately, it can take longer to quit.\nSo how long does it take to make a good habit? Well, that depends. There is a saying, \u201cIt takes 21 days to make, or break, a habit.\u201d That\u2019s not exactly true. Dr. Maxwell Maltz, a plastic surgeon in the 1950\u2019s, originally coined the term after he noticed that it took at least that long for patients to get used to seeing their new faces. It also took \u201cat least 21 days\u201d for amputees to adjust to their new situation, and not feel a phantom limb. He ended up publishing this and his other findings on behavior change in his book, Psycho-Cybernetics.\nHis original quote was fine, but later people shortened it and fundamentally changed its meaning. That \u201c21 days to make, or break, a habit,\u201d quote was easy to accept, short enough to sound doable, and long enough to sound logical. However, they left out two key words, \u201cat least.\u201d That is the minimum amount of time it would take for \u201can old mental image to dissolve and a new one to jell.\u201d Therefore, it could conceivably take longer. So, now what?\nPhillippa Lally, a health psychology researcher at University College London, has a better answer. She published a study in the European Journal of Social Psychology, which examined the habits of 96 people over a 12-week period. The habits were an eating, drinking, or activity behavior on a daily basis, like exercising for 15 minutes each day. What she found was that it takes more than 2 months before a new behavior becomes automatic\u201466 days to be exact. Some of the people took as long as 254 days. So, it can take some time to make or break a habit. Think about it, this could put you in mid-September before your New Year\u2019s resolution becomes a natural part of your life. No wonder it\u2019s so hard to keep them.\nAh, but don\u2019t fret. All is not lost. You can still improve yourself with good habits. The key is to get started right away. The sooner you start, the sooner you will improve. If you have a bad habit, quit now. If you recently took up a bad habit, like smoking, definitely quit now. If it is less than 21 days old, you will likely be able to kick the habit for good.\nWith a little patience and perseverance, you can make good habits. Consider what habit you want to do, and commit to repeating that habit for 66 days. It also helps to pick a specific time of day, and place, to help you remember and stay committed. Good habits may be hard to make, but once you get a handle on them, they are worth it.\nFortune Cookie Friday: Cherish the Present\tPhotography Day 2016",

        "title": "St Peter's Annual Report",
        "raw_content": "St Peter's Church, Woolhampton \u2013 Annual Report for 2017\nThe PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the Rector in promoting the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic and social in the Ecclesiastical parish of Woolhampton and as part of the joint Benefice with Aldermaston and Wasing, Beenham Valence, Brimpton and Midgham.\nMembership: The PCC is a charity accepted for registration with the Charity Commission. Members of the PCC are either ex-officio or elected at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting in accordance with the Church Representation Rules. During the year the following served as members of the PCC:\nRector: The Revd. Becky Bevan (until end July 2017) \u2013 the Benefice being in \u201cvacancy\u201d thereafter.\nAssociate Priest: The Revd. Pat Bhutta (HfD).\nChurchwardens: Mr. Charles Davison and Mr. Malcolm Large.\nDeanery Synod Reps: Mr. Charles Davison amd Mrs. Margaret Davison.\nElected members: (until APCM 2018) Mrs. Prue Matchwick (Treasurer), Mr. David Nicholls (Health and Safety Rep.), Mrs. Gillian Sitch (Secretary), Mrs. Catherine Lovell, Mrs. Kate Moir and Mrs. Stella Nesbit.\nElectoral Roll Secretary: Mrs. Margaret Davison\nChild Protection Rep: Dr. Chris Newman (Aldermaston and Wasing Parish)\nCommittees: The full PCC has met on 4 occasions, but should the need arise the Churchwardens call an extra-ordinary meeting or contact members by e-mail. There is also a Joint Benefice Group which is attended by one of the Churchwardens.\nChurch attendance: There were 43 parishioners on the Electoral Roll, a decrease of 1 over the previous year, with the average Sunday attendance being 18 adults and 1 child, although this rises considerably for special festivals. During the year there were 5 Baptisms, 2 Weddings and 5 Funeral services in church, with none at the Crematorium.\nReview of 2017: Sunday services continue to be held at 11 a.m. with one Holy Communion, one Family Communion, a Morning Worship and a Family Service each month. On a 5th Sunday we join in a Benefice Service which rotates around the parishes. On these occasions there is the opportunity to worship together with a much fuller congregation. Each month there is a mid-week Communion service at Midgham and a weekly Morning Prayer service rotating three monthly around the other main churches in the Benefice. During Holy Week there are short Evening Prayer services and a communion on Maundy Thursday, again joint across the Benefice. \u2018Messy Church' for children from across the Benefice continues to be held every two months on a Saturday afternoon to introduce children to church in a fun way with crafts and stories. It is held in the Church School and is proving to be very successful. There is also a session on Good Friday.\nA Benefice Lent course was held reading aloud St. Mark\u2019s Gospel and there was an Autumn Home Group with 6 sessions studying the Creed using the Pilgrim Course.\nA Lent Lunch, serving homemade soups, bread, cheese and fruit, was held in the Village Hall, with donations going to WaterAid.\nDuring Holy week a display of artefacts and scenes capturing key moments from the Passion Story was set up in the church by the Revd. Janice Macdonald, assisted by children from the primary school.\nOn Rogation Sunday in May those parishioners who were able walked across the fields to the Russian Barn at the home of a parishioner, where the service was held with the rest of the congregation.\nAt the end of July our congregation joined with others from across the Benefice in a special service of Holy Communion to bid farewell to our Rector. This was followed by a celebration in Aldermaston Primary School.\nA Harvest Lunch was held in the Village Hall in October and proved extremely successful in that it involved people from outside the church community. The proceeds from this were sent to the Mothers Union for their Emergency Relief Fund.\nA Benefice Quiet Day was held in October and attended by some of the church members.\nA Quiz Night was held in the Village Hall in November and this again proved extremely successful. It was greatly enjoyed by all present and is seen as part of our outreach into the community. The Bring and Buy stall at the monthly Village Market, together with the sale of refreshments, continues to raise funds for a specific named charity, this year having been for the Salvation Army, for which they are extremely grateful.\nA Carol Sing-along was again held in the Village Hall, aimed at those who find it difficult to attend the Carol Service in the Church. Beenham Band provided the music for the carols. Mince pies and mulled wine ensured a time of social get-together and there was a retiring collection for a Newbury based charity for the homeless \u201cLoose Ends\u201d. A Crib Service was again held in the church on Christmas Eve and proved to be extremely popular.\nElstree School continues to use the church regularly for worship during term-time, with joint Sunday services with the parish normally being held at the start and end of each term. Their choir also performed a concert at the beginning of the year raising funds for the church. Such occasions further promote the close links between the school and the church. The primary school also uses the church for specific services and the St Peter\u2019s congregation is always welcome to join them. On Remembrance Sunday we again welcomed the Scouts, Cubs and Beavers, who presented their standards.\nA Parish Safeguarding Policy is monitored and reviewed annually. As yet there is no Drink and Drugs Policy but this will be kept under review should the need arise. Health and Safety matters are reviewed regularly with the Policy being re-adopted annually. Both Policies are displayed on the Church notice board.\nFinance: The accounts for the year ended 31.12.17 showed a surplus of \u00a31,739.64 which is rather lower than the previous year but it is to be noted that no fund raising initiatives were carried out this year apart from the usual annual quiz. We paid our parish share of \u00a319,777 to the Oxford Diocese on time and we gave donations totalling \u00a32,642.20 to various charities and organisations during the year, the major recipient was the Salvation Army who received the funds raised by the monthly village market. More details can be found within the annual accounts. No major expenditure was incurred in 2017 and we now have to concentrate on the repairs to the spire and bell hangings. The balance in our current account at NatWest was \u00a326,630.85 as at 31st December, 2017.\nChurchyard: At the start of the year a local firm was employed to give the churchyard a good tidy-up, with all the undergrowth round the boundaries being cut back and cleared, the resultant debris finally being burnt. The subsequent judicious purchase of a heavy duty battery strimmer and the enthusiastic efforts of Mr & Mrs Large kept all these areas tidy throughout the rest of the year.\nGeneral grass-cutting of the main areas of the churchyard continued to be undertaken by the same person who has cut it for a number of years now, being a fortnightly mulch cut, with the entombed graves being strimmed twice in the year as funds permitted.\nOne churchyard working party was held in the autumn albeit in 2 parts, a week-day session and a week-end one. Paths and around the church walls were weed killed, yew bushes pruned, the war memorial tidied up and cleaned, the road-side notice board cleaned and other areas of the churchyard generally tidied up.\nFabric, Goods and Ornaments: This year was another quiet year as far as work was concerned. A volunteer did clean the efflorescence off the west wall and touch up the paintwork but there is still moisture in the wall to come out. The boiler which was playing up early in the year was serviced and repaired. Unfortunately storm Doris in March dislodged one of the oak louvres from the tower and whilst cracking a few roof tiles and a bit of porch guttering did no other damage, repair of this will await the spire re-shingling when scaffold access will be available.\nOther than this, grateful thanks needs to be given to all those who assist with general housekeeping within the church, cleaning, flower arranging and the like, together with all those other jobs which are carried out behind the scenes without which we would struggle to operate.\nDeanery Synod: The Parish lies within the Bradfield Deanery and St. Peter\u2019s is entitled to have two representatives on the Deanery Synod, this level of representation reflecting the numbers on our electoral roll, with both positions being filled. The Deanery Synod is an important link in the church structure and meetings provide a good source of information and a place to exchange news and views amongst similar parishes and benefices in the area.\nThere were three meetings in the year, being 21st February, 6th June and 19th October, this being re-scheduled from 5th October. Both representatives attended the first two meetings but unfortunately neither were available for the last one. In addition there was a Deanery Parish Share Review Group which met several times in the early part of the year and one of our representatives was on that.\nThe February meeting had two presentations, one from Revd Bevan on establishing a Deanery web site which was generally supported, the other by Revd Gadsby focusing on 4 themes around Deanery Synod meetings which were then discussed in small groups. There followed a financial update which was slightly strained by the splat between Theale and Englefield and an update on the Spiritual Development group meetings. It was also noted the Revd Bhutta had been appointed as a Vocations Adviser for the Deanery.\nThe June meeting noted that the Bishop had appointed Revd Parbury as Area Dean and Dr Chris Newman was elected Lay Chair of the Synod. Synod accounts for 2016 were presented and adopted, together with a summary of the Parish Share Review Group meetings. This was followed by a presentation on \u2018Meet Monday\u2019 which is a group set up in the Deanery 10 years ago to support adults with learning disabilities. As noted neither representative was able to attend the October meeting which had a presentation from a Schools Pastor working in Burghfield.\nBenefice Group: The Benefice Group has been in existence now for a number of years and is a good forum for keeping in touch with happenings in the other churches of the Benefice and for exploring common issues and themes. The Group usually meets three times a year however the frequency is being increased now we are in a vacancy. Meetings in 2016 were on 9th February, 15th June, 8th September and 9th November.\nMeetings generally start with an update from each Parish plus updates from the Wedding Co-ordinator and the Children\u2019s Work Co-ordinator, with business then focusing on one or two specific matters at each meeting.\nThe February meeting looked at activity over Christmas and updated everyone on key Benefice dates in the first half of the year, it also noted the protocol should a monarch die, with condolence cards for signing in each church, and received an update on safeguarding. The June meeting received the Benefice accounts and set the wheels in motion for recruiting a new rector including setting up a small team to prepare the Benefice Profile. The September meeting mainly covered areas around the vacancy, receiving Pat\u2019s new Working Agreement and establishing dates for the Section 11 and 12 meetings. November agreed an updated constitution for the Group and discussed the workload of the Ministry Team.\nBenefice Report in lieu of Rector\u2019s Report: As we are currently in a Vacancy due to our Rector leaving, this report has been compiled by the lead churchwardens of some of the parishes in the Benefice. The Revd. Becky Bevan moved on from the Benefice at the end of July 2017 to take up a new position in the south of Newbury. She was installed at Wash Common on 4th October, 2017.\n2016 was seen as a year of celebration, whereas this year has been more one of consolidation and steady forward progress. Our Ministry Team continued to grow with Cara Smart, our children\u2019s work co-ordinator, being accepted for training as a stipendiary priest and commencing her training for ordination on the Oxford Ministry Course at Cuddesdon.\nThe large number of special services we have had in the past few years continued to grow, with 38 Baptisms, 66 Weddings and Blessings and 37 Funerals in 2017. It is an enormous credit to our current Ministry Team that these were conducted despite our Rector leaving mid-way through the year. This considerable number of special services, whilst a challenge in some ways, provides numerous opportunities for engaging with those on the fringes of the church and a number of ideas to capitalise on this are being explored.\nWe continued to work with our three Church and other schools in the Benefice. Particular thanks go to our Foundation Governors for the extremely helpful role they play, along with our clergy and others, to maintain and continue building the links between the schools and our churches. It is heartening to see the numbers of parents, grand-parents and siblings attending the school services held in our churches. This provides a solid grounding of understanding for our future generations.\nOur Pastoral work, led by the Revd. Pat Bhutta, continues to provide support for those in need and meet the spiritual needs of those who can no longer get to church. This year also saw an expansion of our Mental Health awareness initiative with the start of a monthly Walk and Talk Group. This group is specifically aimed at those who are currently suffering or have suffered in so many ways, and their carers. The walk of an hour or so ends back at a pub for a warming drink and further chat and fellowship. There is also a small and confidential pastoral team made up of both clergy and lay members from our villages with particular gifts. All have received training in pastoral work to meet the needs of our six churches. The group have monthly meetings to hold those in need in prayer. They also carry out personal home visits to celebrate a home communion or simply have a chat to break the long periods of loneliness for those who have difficulty getting out.\nWhen the news of our Rector\u2019s impending departure surfaced a meeting of the churchwardens from our six churches was held. Subsequently a meeting was held with Bishop Andrew, the Bishop of Reading, when the procedure and time frame for finding a replacement was set out. The first step was to write a Benefice Profile and a small group of one member from each parish and a member of the Ministry Team was set up to do this. A meeting of all five Parochial Church Councils was followed by a meeting with the Bishop and our six patrons, one for each of our churches. The Benefice profile was approved at this meeting. As Christmas was fast approaching it was felt that no one would be thinking of applying for a different position then so advertising the vacancy was scheduled for January. So at the time of writing this report we are still in the vacancy period and pray that someone is moved to join us and lead us in worship.\nIt is a huge credit to our Ministry Team, Revd. Pat Bhutta, Revd. Janice Macdonald, Revd. Derek Spears and Margaret Davison, ably supported by Brenda Scott, Benefice Administrator, Samantha Cave, Wedding Administrator, and Cara Smart, Children\u2019s Work Co-ordinator, as they have risen to the many opportunities that have arisen since our Rector left. They have adopted a \u2018business as usual\u2019 ethos with all our church services and the many Benefice activities, as detailed in the following paragraphs, continuing.\nSpiritual Development, alongside our Sunday Services, continues, thanks to the above and many others who work and offer support behind the scenes. These include the monthly Noah\u2019s Ark baby and toddler group which continues to flourish, as does the bi-monthly all age \u201cMessy Church\u201d, the monthly Midgham Caf\u00e9 Church which continues to be appreciated by many who attend; the weekly weekday Benefice prayer service, which rotates around the different churches in the Benefice during the year, and the monthly weekday Benefice communion services at Midgham Church and Watermill Court.\nLent Groups were held at three different locations in the Spring and a series of Home Groups in the Autumn. The monthly \u201cDwelling in the Word\u201d, a session of quiet contemplative time listening to a passage of scripture, continued. In October a successful Benefice Quiet Day was held in Cold Ash, giving an opportunity for self-reflection in different surroundings.\nThere were also a number of community events run throughout the year, many raising money for charity, with The Children\u2019s Society, Christian Aid, the Royal British Legion, the Salvation Army, Water Aid, the Mothers Union and West Berkshire Foodbank being among the more prominent, with many others also benefiting. We also kept in touch with the wider community through the publication and distribution of our church magazines to every household in the Benefice, the Weekly Notes distributed to congregations at the beginning of each service and our website. Sincere thanks go to our volunteer editors and those who administer the website and to the numerous volunteers who deliver the magazines.\nIn closing we give our heartfelt thanks to everyone who supports the work of our churches in so many hundreds of diverse ways - the army of volunteers behind the scenes, from flower arrangers to church cleaners, bell ringers to the people who unlock the buildings, to grass cutters and all the people who work on the upkeep of the churchyards. The list goes on and on as do our sincere thanks for your help keeping our churches open and welcoming for everyone to enjoy. And finally, we cannot forget the sterling work of the Ministry Team. They have excelled and gone the extra mile during the vacancy period for which we all appreciate beyond doubt and are extremely grateful to them.\nBrenda Scott George Dunford Charles Davison\nCharles Davison (On behalf of the PCC)",

        "title": "Your Cellphone & The Police: What You Need To Know | Florida Criminal Defense Lawyer",
        "raw_content": "Your Cellphone & The Police: What You Need to Know\nStatistics suggest that nearly 95 percent of Americans now own a cell phone. This staggering figure would have seemed impossible even a decade ago, but now almost every American relies on their phone to stay in touch with the world. With the vast majority of individuals in this country using cellphones, numerous issues have surfaced as to the legality of police asking for your cell phone and the device\u2019s unlock code. While much of your information and possessions are protected under the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution, there are gray areas pertaining to mobile electronic devices connected to criminal activity.\nIn most situations, this dilemma arises when you have been accused of a crime and a law enforcement officer asks for your cell phone\u2019s passcode in order to review its contents. If you decline the officer\u2019s request, the prosecution can petition the court in order to get your password. However, depending on the judge\u2019s discretion, this petition may be approved or denied. The issue that arises pertains to the defendant\u2019s right to remain silent while also not inhibiting law enforcement\u2019s ability to investigate and retrieve evidence. This situation is beginning to unfold in cases across the country as defendants and prosecutors debate this hot button issue.\nThe primary argument made is that this practice is similar to defendants giving blood or DNA samples during an investigation. However, detractors claim that requesting cell phone access is fishing and an overstep of law enforcement\u2019s authority. There is recent precedent in a case in Sarasota where a Florida court ordered a defendant to unlock his cellphone after he was accused of taking photos under women\u2019s skirts at a local mall. Alternatively, there is precedent to the contrary as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) pressed cell phone manufacturer, Apple, to unlock the iPhone of a mass shooter. Ultimately, Apple held their ground and did not give in to the FBI\u2019s demands.\nBoth cases involve law enforcement trying to get a cellphone unlocked as they conduct their searches for evidence. However, one court allowed law enforcement to force a defendant to unlock the cell phone, while the other case was aimed at a manufacturer who would not unlock a phone they produced. As similar cases unfold more clarity will be shed on the matter, but at this point, it remains to be at the discretion of the court that is presiding over the dispute.\nReach Out to Us for Assistance with Your Case\nAs you can see, the complexities of the criminal justice system are vast and perplexing. With new technology perpetually rolling out and a legal system that is hundreds of years old it is ultimately up to your defense to protect your freedom.

        "title": "THIS MAN IS AN ISLAND John Fager&apos;s speciality is hospitality - Baltimore Sun",
        "raw_content": "THIS MAN IS AN ISLAND John Fager's speciality is hospitality\nJohn Fager strolls through paradise, pausing only to wrestle an intruder -- a discarded green plastic bag -- from the reeds that bristle along the boardwalk.\n\"How did this get here?\" he asks, bending to retrieve the rubbish.\nOne could as easily ask Mr. Fager such a question: How did he create this corner of serenity, of postcard sunsets and of casual refinement known as Fager's Island?\n\"It just sort of evolved,\" says the soft-spoken 49-year-old. \"I never planned to be in the hotel and restaurant business.\"\nThat unplanned career includes ownership of Fager's Island restaurant, which boasts an award-winning wine list, a bayfront dock accessible to sailors and boaters, and laid-back surroundings that draw both tourists and locals.\nThen there are the hotels: the Coconut Malorie hotel (named after one of his daughters) and the Lighthouse Club Hotel (last year named one of Mobile Travel Guide's two four-star inns in Maryland; the other is Harbour Court in Baltimore).\nAll this is nestled on a 5-acre tract overlooking Assawoman Bay, below the state Route 90 bridge. Footbridges and boardwalks cross over wetlands to connect the hotels and restaurant, framed by palm trees and overlooking the water.\n\"You can come here and leave it all behind,\" Mr. Fager says, leading a guest to the hotel. \"You can park your car here and not use it for days.\"\nResort within resort\nIndeed Fager's Island is a resort within a resort. It's also a family- operated business, one that involves Mr. Fager's wife, Denise, who oversees the hotels, and daughters, Jessica, 26, Malorie, 17, and son, Damian, 15.\n\"He's very much a self-made success,\" says Ocean City Mayor (( Roland E. \"Fish\" Powell. \"He didn't come here with a lot of assets. He started a small business, and he and his family have worked hard to make it succeed.\"\nMr. Fager's story begins in Parkville, where he grew up in a family of four, spending summers in Ocean City like so many other Baltimore-area residents. During high school in the late 1950s, Mr. Fager worked summer jobs there as lifeguard, beach stand operator and telescope photographer.\nBut hot weather meant more than sand and sun to the enterprising youth -- he also started three businesses: a snowball stand, a lawn-mowing service and a neighborhood subscription service for \"TV Guide.\"\nSelf-employment may run in the family, he says. Mr. Fager's late father, William, owned a floor tile business. Uncles, aunts and other relatives chose the self-employment route as well. Mr. Fager's younger brother, Raymond, owns Uncle Raymond's Seafood restaurant in nearby Fenwick Island, Del.\nDuring summers off from college, he waited and cleared tables, gaining hands-on experience that would later serve him well. He earned a bachelor's degree in business administration from the University of Baltimore.\nIn those pre-Beatles days before graduation, Mr. Fager became a business partner in the Blue Dog Cellar, a bohemian-style coffee shop in Baltimore. Then he and his partner opened a summer stand in Ocean City.\n\"That's how I began to get wrapped up in the restaurant business,\" he recalls. \"In those days you couldn't live in Ocean City year round. The town literally shut down on Labor Day.\"\nMr. Fager spent the summers in Ocean City and the winters in Baltimore.\n\"You couldn't make a living here [in the offseason],\" he says of Ocean City. \"There were a few construction jobs -- not much else.\"\nIn the late 1960s, Mr. Fager opened the Purple Moose Saloon on the boardwalk, the first in the resort town of the \"new generation\" bars, with hanging plants, recorded music and windows -- one that eventually became an Ocean City landmark.\n\"It wasn't the dark, dingy smoke-filled bar,\" he says. \"We opened it with practically no money at all. We were lucky. The concept was very well received.\"\nEventually, Mr. Fager sold his partnership in the Purple Moose Saloon, as well as in the Classroom, a bar he owned at the Park Plaza Hotel on Charles Street in Baltimore.\nMeanwhile, he and his wife -- a California native whom he met on the boardwalk while she was on a three-day visit here -- bought some property in an undeveloped area of Ocean City with the intent of build ing town houses.\n\"Everything was on the ocean and the highway,\" he says. \"I loved the beauty of the bay, the quietness, the beauty of the sunsets. I felt other people would enjoy that, too.\"\nBut by the mid-1970s, as the Fagers, now year-round residents, prepared to move ahead with their town-house development, the bottom fell out of the real estate market. Plans for 44 town houses were put on hold.\nIt turned out to be a blessing.\n\"While we were waiting, we thought we would build a little bar,\" Mr. Fager says. \"We thought we could wait it out.\"\nBuilt off the ground on pilings, Fager's Island opened as a bar in 1975. It was a Key West-style bar -- open views of the bay, live plants and drinks made with natural ingredients -- built in just 90 days, he says.\n\"It was a huge success from opening night,\" Mr. Fager says.\nAdditions came like children in successive years. First a restaurant, then decks, an outside bar, a pier and a gazebo.\nThen came the hotels. Built in 1988, the 85-suite Coconut Malorie resembles British Colonial architecture found in the Caribbean. Rooms are decorated with tropical plants and specially designed furniture, made of wood, reeds and bamboo.\n\"I always wanted something with a Caribbean flavor,\" he says. But he also wanted to offer his customers special touches like terry cloth robes, turn-down service, makeup mirrors and hair dryers in bathrooms.\nAbout the same time the Fagers began building the hotel, an adjacent piece of property containing a replica of the Thomas Point Lighthouse near Annapolis went up for sale.\nMr. Fager couldn't resist.\n\"I just couldn't let it pass,\" he says. \"I loved the building.\"\nHe converted the former restaurant into a 23-suite guest house, with custom-made furniture and rooms featuring marble Jacuzzis and private balconies.\nThe guest house is more intimate, \"more romantic\" than the hotel, Mr. Fager says. Unlike the hotel, it has only a minimal front desk presence, sometimes staffed by daughter Jessica.\nMary Tawney, administrator for the Ocean City Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Association Inc., says the hotels have filled a niche in the resort market, catering to yuppies and young couples who want to be pampered.\n\"He has given tourists a new choice,\" she says. \"He's offering luxury accommodations on the bay side. We didn't have that before.\"\nThe rates, though, are comparable to ocean-front rooms. Rates at the Coconut Malorie, for instance, range from $169 to $219 on weekend nights. An ocean-front room at the Quality Inn on the boardwalk ranges from $154 to $179 and requires a three-night minimum.\nBusiness at the Fager's Island hotels has been good, Mr. Fager says. Hotel revenue in July was up more than 12 percent from the same month last year.\n\"We got off to a slow start when we opened -- it was the end of the season,\" he says, noting the hotels are now in their third season. \"Hotel business takes awhile to build up. It's been good.\"\nDespite his visibility at the hotels and restaurants, Mr. Fager is an \"intensely private man,\" says his wife, Denise.\n\"He's much more comfortable talking about business than himself,\" Mrs. Fager says. She calls him \"a wonderful family man.\n\"This is such a social business that when you get home you need to close the door. We need that time. We cherish that time.\"\nNonetheless, business consumes much of Mr. Fager's time -- at least during the tourist-filled summer months when he arrives at his office by 5:30 a.m. or 6 a.m. each day.\n\"I enjoy it,\" he says. \"I love coming to work.\" Hands-on owner\nHis employees call him a hands-on owner. Bellhop John Coleman says it's not uncommon to see Mr. Fager in the kitchen cooking.\n\"He's everywhere,\" says Louise Nall, a hotel reservation clerk. \"He's at the restaurant, he's at the hotel. He answers the phone. Just this morning he was in here helping a guest find a roll of film.\"\nAlthough the Fagers both put many hours into the businesses, neither are workaholics, Mrs. Fager says. The long hours are just the nature of the business.\n\"It's all very much a hands-on operation,\" she says. \"We involve ourselves and our employees in all aspects of the operation. We don't want employees to feel departmentalized.\"\nMr. Fager says he loves the direct contact with the public that comes with greeting and seating guests at the restaurant.\nHis guests meet a congenial man, tanned and trim, a man who is proud of the restaurant's 10,000-bottle wine collection, culled from trips to wine-growing regions of Europe and California.\n\"I think the wine collection makes a statement about the %J restaurant, about our commitment to quality,\" Mr. Fager says.\nHe attributes his success to \"street education,\" those years spent working in restaurants, and from traveling.\n\"I know how I like to be treated,\" he says. \"We've found things we liked as we've traveled and brought them here.\"\nThose things include Haitian art, which adorns the walls of each hotel room and a recently opened gallery in the tower of the Coconut Malorie.\nThe art gallery and a library have been among the few expansions at the complex in recent years. The Fagers fell in love with Haitian art while vacationing in the Caribbean. On trips there, they buy art and antiques for themselves and the hotels.\nThese days he also is kept busy as a member of the board of Atlantic General Hospital, now under construction in nearby Berlin.\n\"The hospital shows how Ocean City is evolving into a year-round community,\" he says. \"The hospital is going to be very important for the long-term benefit of the community.\"\nIndeed, Mr. Fager has been an asset to the community, says Mayor Powell.\n\"He's always present and takes a very active part,\" Mr. Powell says. \"He's a very prominent citizen.\"\nMr. Fager says he has no concrete future plans. He has bandied about the idea of buying an existing, older hotel property for renovation.\n\"Whatever, I do, it would certainly be in Ocean City,\" he says.\nTHE FAGER FILE\n, Date of birth: Jan. 23, 1943\nResidence: Ocean City\nFamily: Wife, Denise; children, Jessica, 26, Malorie, 17, and Damian, 15.\nEducation: Graduate of Baltimore's Polytech; bachelor's degree in business administration from the University of Baltimore.\nHobbies: Tennis, skiing, traveling and horseback riding.\nQuote: \"Ocean City is absolutely the greatest resort on the East Coast -- from the cleanliness of the beaches, amenities and other things happening here.

        "raw_content": "Barnett Waddingham\u2019s recent research study reveals a considerable gap in the UK between the experience employees have of being employed and what employers believe this to be.\nFour insightful research papers have now been produced. Using robust survey techniques, they show that only 19% of employees think there is a high level of wellbeing in their workplace. In contrast, 61% of employers believe this to be the case. This suggests that employers do not have an accurate understanding of the needs of their employees.\nThis gap is not restricted to wellbeing. A lack of open, honest communication and engagement between employers and employees is creating a sense of \u201cthem and us\u201d rather than \u201cwe.\u201d Only 15% of employees believe the success generated by the organisation is shared fairly, compared to 70% of employers.\nWhen looking specifically at how remuneration is communicated, the gap is almost just as wide. Only 32% of employees feel that there is genuine openness and transparency about remuneration, compared to 68% for employers \u2013 a gap of 36%.\nThe lack of trust within organisations should be of real concern for employers.\nof employees believe their organisation will be more successful in five years\u2019 time compared to 77% of employers\nof employees are \"coasting\" at work and have significantly lower levels of employment experience and satisfaction than their more productive colleagues\nof employees believe that organisational success is shared fairly compared to 70% of employers and there is also a strong belief that the pay gap is too wide\nof employees believe the level of wellbeing in their organisation is high compared to 61% of employers\nView our mobile-friendly infographic\nDamian Stancombe - Head of Workplace Health and Wealth\n\"The gap and misalignment between employer rhetoric and employee reality needs to be recognised and taken more seriously. In some businesses the gap is a huge chasm and in others a mere plank of wood would adequately span the divide. The problem is companies have failed to identify the size and nature of the gap. Nevertheless, bridging it will help employers reap the benefits of a two-way adult relationship, increasing productivity and having a more engaged workforce.\"\nGet in touch with Damian",

Additional versions of the television spot will continue to air throughout the post-season, including on Super Bowl Sunday during pregame programming.\nNew Social Justice Grants\nAs part of the league\u2019s ongoing commitment to social justice, the joint NFL players-owners working group recently approved two new social justice grants focused on the three priority areas. The grants were issued to Big Brothers Big Sisters of America (BBBSA) and Operation HOPE. BBBSA will use the funding to support agencies across the country as they create long-term mentoring relationships that empower youth to reach their full potential and help communities connect across racial and economic divides. Operation HOPE will use the funds in support of their nationwide work within underserved communities to equip young people and adults with the financial tools and education to secure a better future.\n\u201cOur vision is to create a stronger, more inclusive economy\u2014and by extension, society through financial empowerment \u2013 and financial dignity. Think of the difference our programs make in people\u2019s lives as they improve their FICO scores by 100 points or more. Think about the impact on families and communities as more people and more local businesses succeed. And consider the new investments and jobs that come to communities where people are financially secure and young people have the skills to be productive. We are proud to partner with the NFL as part of the Inspire Change initiative to bring meaningful impact to our communities and advance the critical dialogue on social justice taking place nationally.\u201d \u2013 JOHN HOPE BRYANT, Operation HOPE Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer.\n\u201cWe are honored to be working with the NFL on the Inspire Change Initiative. Mentoring is a proven long-term strategy for bridging gaps in academics and income, and this grant will allow our agencies to create more strong mentoring relationships,\u201d \u2013 PAM IORIO, President and CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of America.\nThese grants build on the two grants issued last season to Dream Corps and the UNCF (United Negro College Fund). With this support, Dream Corps\u2019 #cut50 initiative helped pass the bi-partisan First Step Act, and UNCF is developing and launching a new criminal and social justice initiative. The new program aims to alleviate the impact of mass incarceration on individuals and communities through the prism of higher education, specifically UNCF\u2019s 37 member-institutions and other historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs). Additional grants will be announced as they are approved in the coming months.\n\u201cThe coalition of bi-partisan support was the secret sauce behind the passage of the First Step Act, and the unlikely allies we brought together for the historic legislation are what we are all about \u2014 we work across deep divides to inspire change and solve America\u2019s toughest problems. We back initiatives that close prison doors (#cut50) and open doors of opportunity (#YesWeCode) and we are excited to continue our NFL partnership for even bigger changes in the future.\u201d \u2013 VAN JONES, President & Founder of the Dream Corps.\n\u201cFor 75 years, UNCF has supported educational opportunities for the most disenfranchised communities. With the support of the NFL, this new effort will build on the history of HBCUs as some of the oldest social justice organizations in this country. Our ultimate aim is breaking the cycle of incarceration and increasing the likelihood that low-income individuals and individuals of color are on a path to educational and economic success, not prison,\u201d \u2013 DR. MICHAEL LOMAX, President and CEO of UNCF.\nThe league also announced today that it will partner with digital learning curriculum leader EverFi on a high school-focused African-American History education program. NFL funding will allow thousands of students in 175 underserved schools in Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Montana and North Carolina to take part in the digital curriculum, at no charge to the schools or students. The schools were selected by EverFi based on areas of need and biggest opportunities for impact.\nActivating for Impact\nInspire Change is a comprehensive platform for social change that also includes:\nCommunity activation. During Super Bowl week in Atlanta, the league will take part in several events related to social justice, including events with RISE (Ross Initiative in Sports for Equality) and Morehouse College. More details will be announced in the coming weeks. The league is also supporting the Martin Luther King, Jr. Global Youth Leadership Conference, taking place in Washington, D.C. in January in partnership with The Memorial Foundation, the builders of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial on the National Mall. The event will bring together youth leaders from around the country to learn from Dr. King\u2019s legacy of leadership and to help them develop their own voices.\nGrassroots funding. The Players Coalition will announce the recipients of their social justice grants during Super Bowl week. The NFL Foundation continues funding social justice matching grants as submitted by current players, NFL Legends and teams. To date, the Foundation has matched 365 social justice grants from players, and 28 grants submitted by teams, totaling nearly $2 million.\nNew nationwide programming, digital content and social media support. NFL Media will also unveil programming across its platforms focused on the efforts of current and former players toward social progress and understanding. The new documentary series Indivisible launches on Tuesday, January 15, featuring real conversations with players and local leaders on the issues and values at the heart of six communities. The six-part series premieres Tuesday, January 15, with new episodes unveiled weekly across NFL Media\u2019s digital platforms (NFL.com, NFL app, NFL YouTube and Facebook channels). In addition, on Monday, January 14, the seventh installment within the Impact & Influence series is set to premiere within NFL Total Access. The installment follows the creation of the Bears\u2019 nine-person social justice committee and their efforts to donate more than $800,000 to local social justice efforts. All installments from the Impact & Influence series can be viewed digitally by visiting NFL.com/impactandinfluence.\nPlease visit www.nfl.com/inspirechange and join the conversation on social media with the hashtag #inspirechange.\nFor more information about the joint commitment of NFL players and the league to strengthening communities through social justice, please see the following:\nBackground: NFL Social Justice Initiative\nNFL becomes the first and only sports league to endorse criminal justice reform\nFact Sheet: NFL Social Justice Initiative is Making an Impact\nAdditional successful Players Coalition advocacy efforts for state criminal justice reforms (2018)\nFlorida Amendment 4 \u2013 Passed with 64.5% of the vote.\nLouisiana Amendment 2 \u2013 Passed with 64.4% of the vote.\nMichigan Proposal 2 \u2013 Passed with 61% of the vote.\nMichigan Proposal 3 \u2013 Passed with 66.7% of the vote.\nNFL endorses the First Step Act\nClub Involement\nContact: Traci Otey Blunt, NFL, Traci.Blunt@nfl.com\nClare Graff, NFL, clare.graff@nfl.com",

        "title": "Grow With the Flow: The Many States of Travel Beards \u2013 Beardbrand",
        "raw_content": "Grow With the Flow: The Many States of Travel Beards\nTraveling is synonymous with experimentation. Ranging from trying new types of food to wearing clothing you never would at home, life on the road opens you up to all sorts of opportunities that you\u2019d never be exposed to otherwise. Additionally, travel ensures a more relaxed lifestyle that is perfect breeding ground for adopting a new look physically and no exercise in experimentation is more common for travelers than that of the beard.\nAlthough beards have become increasingly popular, accepted, and encouraged by modern society, there are still many who feel the need to stay completely shaven in their typical, day-to-day lives. However, once these gentlemen have left their routines behind and adopted their new lives on the move, the first thing to go is any sort of shaving regimen.\nThe range of experience varies from first time beardsmen to the most seasoned veterans, but without a doubt, there are a range of styles that you\u2019re sure to see next time you\u2019re backpacking through Southeast Asia or enjoying a vacation in the Caribbean.\nArguably the most common beard style on display when traveling can be found on the fellas who would never go more than a day or two without shaving at home. Usually on the younger end of the spectrum, these guys are doing their best to let go of their normal routines and enjoy a less fussy lifestyle. The best way to spot this group is by listening in for anyone discussing how itchy their faces feel. Of course, this gives way in time, but for the first timers they\u2019re still experiencing their internal battles of comfort vs. style. Additionally, if you happen to carry a more significant beard than them, you will undoubtedly be asked questions about your grooming routines. Answer sincerely and let the beardsmanship roll forth.\nThe Patchy Wanderer\nAs we\u2019ve discussed before, patchy beards are a reality that many of us face on a regular basis. Some guys will give up and shave completely while others will continue on and, often times, reap the benefits of a fuller looking beard once their facial hair begins to fill in the gaps with added length. This particular breed of beardsman is aware of his beard growing prowess (or sometimes lack thereof), but simply goes with the flow and allows his beard to do as it pleases. Much like the state of his heard, the patchy wanderer lacks any sort of itinerary or plans for his travels. He\u2019s simply letting his journey take its course, both physically and metaphorically.\nBesides acting as a sign of having left a structured routine behind, beards can also act as a sort of timeline for your trip itself. Many guys simply let their hair and beards grow endlessly while traveling and unlike your normal hair, which can be tied back to hide the actual length, a beard is an instant statement of traveling prowess and the length of your current trip.\nIn some ways, the wildman is an extension of the previously mentioned beard-types you might see while traveling, however, the wildman has left behind any concept of maintenance, except for maybe trimming his mustache, and he is simply letting it all go to the point where you can\u2019t make out any semblance of his actual face. These guys might grow their beards out at home as well, but most likely they keep their facial hair somewhat maintained. However, much like a traveler\u2019s behavior as a whole, the wildman is simply going all out and only going forward in terms of his beard\u2019s continual expansion.\nThe Well-Kept Vet\nHidden among the first timers, the patchy wanderers, and the wildmen is the rarest group of all beardsmen you meet while traveling, the well-kept veterans. Unlike most of the beardsmen you meet while traveling, most of whom think the idea of beard grooming defies the point of growing an actual beard, this isn\u2019t any of these gents\u2019 first rodeos in terms of growing out their facial hair.\nYou can always tell who has more beardsmen experience based on the controlled maintenance this group exhibits, including trimming rogue hairs that creep up towards their cheek bones and establishing a neckline after a certain length has been achieved. Some might call it being fussy, especially those who are experimenting with their facial hair for the first time, but the well-kept vets are simply continuing on with their normal routines and bearding on along their new paths of discovery.",

The one-digit inflation rate and the positive development of imports prove the economic recovery of Ukraine.\nThe discussion with the Parliamentary Group was held on the occasion of the 18th general meeting of the German-Ukrainian Forum.

        "raw_content": "This week at The REP's Play-Reading Group there will be a reading of random, by debbie tucker green.\nLed by The REP's Education Officers Ben Cain and Lucy Wild, the fun, informal Play-Reading Group is a way to discover a range of playwrights, styles and periods.\nFirst staged at the Royal Court in 2008, random made a huge impact on audiences in its portrayal of such an intimate and domestic story about key societal issues.\nBen says, \"We're really looking forward to a lively evening of thought-provoking discussions, but more than that we're looking forward to exploring this beautiful play. So grab yourself a drink at the bar if you want one and meet us in the foyer. You don't need to bring anything, we'll provide the scripts. See you there!\"\nThe group is completely free and this week's reading will take place in The REP's Foyer on Thursday 14 December from 7.30pm.\nUpcoming dates for Play-Reading Group:\nRed Velvet by Lolita Chakrabarti\nRed Velvet is set in 1833 and tells the story of Ira Aldridge, a young black American actor, as he takes on the role of Othello after the intended performer collapses on stage. Set at the same time as the abolition of slavery, the play tells the story of how difficult it is to revolutionise art when there's a political revolution going on outside.\nAfter The Dance by Terrence Rattigan\nMarried couple David and Joan live a hedonistic lifestyle. In fact, they claim to have only married for amusement and to not really love each other. But when an earnest-minded younger woman called Helen declares her love for David, the truth comes out. Joan's greatest secret rears its ugly head, she is deeply in love with her husband.\nFor more information about Play-Reading group, email learning@birmingham-rep.co.uk\nLove Terence Rattigan?

        "raw_content": "Sometimes it takes a lifetime to realize that meaningful fulfillment can elude even the most well-off individuals. During my travels to India I learned that a life of selfishness is an empty life.\nOn the other hand, 'selfless service' opens the heart and upholds the quality of family and social life. This is the example set by the living masters of selfless service. 'Family life, the world community and the natural environment can be nurtured by transforming our attitude and actions'. This is their gift to us all.\nWhen this inner conviction to 'selfless service' is expressed in daily life, a meaningful sense of joy arises. This is the transformation that each of us may participate in.\nRecent living masters who have made a difference:\nWith only a grade eight education,\nher accomplishments in India range from building\nmultiple orphanages, vocational training schools, hospitals, colleges, homes for earthquake and tsunami victims. Her ongoing efforts to uplift, educate, and aid families in hardship never cease.\nHer example is one of loving compassion and service in action.\nRecently, as shown in the video below, this Mahatma has inspired her college students to embark on a campaign to 'clean up' the land and waterways of India.\nMother Theresa...\nshifted from living a quiet life as a Catholic nun, to being actively involved in 'assisting the poor and helpless'. Her efforts in creating orphanages and hospitals for the sick and needy of India acted as a stepping stone to further humanitarian efforts across the globe. Her legendary selfless activities were an inspiration to all caring persons.\nSee my story titled: The Jist of Christianity.\nHis selfless efforts brought the practice of meditation to over 4 million world citizens in a time when meditation was literally unknown and unexplored. Meditation soon became accepted by the Western culture as an alternative to 'drug abuse'... It became known as a practice to restore vitality while complimenting one's daily work routine. Once accepted, It opened the door to the other healing arts and therapies such as shiatsu, acupuncture, reflexology, massage therapy, yoga exercise, Pranayama breathing, Tai Chi, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurvedic diet and health remedies, and the use of organic foods and herbs to promote healing and health.\nOsho speaks about meditation\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHgNVRnkO88\nThe simple teachings of Eckhart Tolle are being appreciated by hundreds of thousands of individuals across the planet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KopmSpe33Eg#t=733\nOsho speaks intensely about the beauty of silence\n....move the cursor to the :35 second mark of the video\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WSjo7zryd8\nby Osho http://www.osho.com/watch",

Several recent reports show that every segment of the profession is at risk, from medical students and residents in training to mid-career physicians and those nearing retirement.\nOne study found that approximately 25% of medical students and residents suffer from clinically significant symptoms of depression (stat news.com). Another shows that both men and women are highly susceptible to depression during their internship year, but that women are at significantly higher risk than men (healthday.com). The three biggest challenges they face are (1) work-life balance, (2) dealing with time pressures, and (3) fear of failure or making a serious mistake (2016 Medscape survey).\nTopics: physician burnout, burnout, physician depression, depression",

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb The Corner Store ranked No. 1 in SE Minnesota; Store took in $25,743 in 2017 net profits\nThe Corner Store ranked No. 1 in SE Minnesota; Store took in $25,743 in 2017 net profits\nSpring Grove\u2019s own municipal liquor store recently received good ratings for 2017, which included a few high rankings in the region and state.\nThough the audit reported on-sale operations are down across the state by 19.7 percent from 2016, The Corner Store is ranked in number one out of four liquor stores in the southeast region in terms of \u201cnet profit/(loss) as a percent of sales by type of establishment,\u201d according to a state audit report.\nSpring Grove reported $423,552 in gross sales and had a net profit of $25,473. Other cities in the \u201con- and off-sale\u201d category were Plainview, Medford and Mazeppa, respectively.\nCaledonia was ranked fourth in the \u201coff-sale only\u201d category, after Kasson, Northfield and Lonsdale, respectively.\nThe Corner Store is also ranked number one by combo location for on- and off-sale in the southeast region.\nSpring Grove is also ranked 72 out of 223 liquor stores in Minnesota. The southeast region brings in $1.7 million in municipal liquor store revenue.\nCaledonia and Spring Grove are currently the only two cities in Houston County who have city-run liquor stores, though Caledonia recorded a net loss of $8,542, according to the audit.\nIn fact, these two Houston County cities have the only two city-run liquor stores in the southeast corner. Fillmore, Winona, Olmsted and Mower counties do not currently have any city-run liquor stores.\nAttributed to The Corner Store\u2019s success are the customers and manager Joe Kessler and his staff.\n\u201cWe\u2019re very consistent, and customers like consistent staff and hours,\u201d he said. \u201cPeople have favorites (bars), but they come in here because we\u2019re open.\u201d\nKessler\u2019s staff consists of Jackie Clauson, Caleb Happel, Sharon Horihan, Aaron Zafft, LeAnn Johnson and Nayna Johnson. Customers enjoy getting to know the bartenders and seeing them when they come in.\nHours are also adjusted for more or less busy days and weekends. The store consistently opens from noon to 11 p.m. on Mondays through Fridays and open at 10 a.m. on Saturdays. The bar is closed on Sundays, though the option to be open is legal in Minnesota.\nEven if people don\u2019t sit on one side of the bar, they\u2019re often stopping in to buy their favorite beverage or to look for something new, such as RockFilter\u2019s latest bourbon or local wine from Molly\u2019s Winery near La Crescent.\nAnother factor is people knowing where their money is going. Profits from the liquor store go into the city\u2019s general fund and eventually get earmarked for projects and departments, such as new playground equipment at Trollskogen Park, new equipment for the fire department, an improved baseball field and more.\nAbout $31,000 was spent on such items, and that\u2019s exactly what a municipal liquor store is supposed to do, Kessler said.\n\u201cWe have a lot more support from the council than we used to,\u201d he added.\nIt faced potential closing in 2009 during the recession when an audit for year ending Dec. 31, 2008, the total operating income of the liquor store was a loss of $10,902.\nThat was a net loss in two of the last three consecutive years that prompted the question of continuing operations or closing it. The only time a municipal liquor store can be closed is if it shows a loss in two of three consecutive years.\nLuckily, the council kept it open, and now it\u2019s doing well in 2018. It\u2019s not only the staff and customers that keep the liquor store floating, it\u2019s practical business solutions that work.\nThe liquor store maintains competitive pricing with American Legion Post 249 and Norski\u2019s Saloon, they control the amount of inventory they have, bring in new products such as craft beer and wine and keep the off-sale fresh.\nWhen you have inventory sitting around that\u2019s not on the shelf and not being sold, it goes against your bottom line on the accounting sheet, Kessler said.\nIn fact, the liquor store has done quite well for the past three years. Profits from the liquor store total more than $100,000, and as previously mentioned, allows the city to use their own money.\nAn auditor recommended the council keep at least $100,000 in the account in event of emergencies.\nThe city\u2019s decision not to have the liquor store open on Sundays has proved to be positive, as some cities\u2019 sales had slowed down. The option is now legal in Minnesota.\nThe liquor store was established in 1956. Kessler has managed the store for about three years.\nHe was also nominated and elected to the Minnesota Municipal Beverage Association (MMBA) Board of Directors last April. He attributes that success to The Corner Store.\nThe MMBA represents the 223 stores in Minnesota. They work with lobbyists on legislation, support struggling stores and give direction.\nKessler recently talked with a liquor store manager from Silver Bay and brainstormed ideas to keep their liquor store floating.\n\u201cIt\u2019s nice to have that,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s nice to have if we\u2019re struggling. I asked the other day what our range of sales should be, and we decided between 30 and 40 percent. We\u2019re right at 37 percent so we\u2019re doing it right.\u201d",

        "title": "The Gift of Nature - Boddunan",
        "raw_content": "It is a special gift offered by the nature to the human being is the sense of division of good and bad. The numerous benefits have been acquired by the human kind from the gift of nature. Nature is possessed with the landed portion, sea area, hills and hillocks and several water courses like rivers, ponds, channels, etc. Day after day, it allows discovering so many things it already possessed with it. In fact, so many matters could not even be recognized by the learned at this advanced stage. It is a continuous process of offering so many novelties daily by the nature for the up-to-date convenience to the world people.\nThe way in which the early human being had an attachment with the nature:\nIn olden days, men lived with the nature\u2019s gift alone. He ate foods given by the nature and had been in good health. He used the cattle like bullocks, and other animals already exist around the world for his daily routine. He saved the trees and other plants while construction works were under taken by proper planning. In respect of calculation to know the timings, he followed the procedure with regard to sun rise and set. He used magnet to find out the various directions. Besides using the cattle like bullocks, etc. for the purpose to plough the lands and also used their waste as manure for the crops as a natural manure to get more yield. He consumed natural foods like fruits and vegetables and various kinds of grass, green leaves, etc., and saved money towards this expenditure besides getting strength and energy. During rainy seasons, he made proper arrangements to save water by putting reservoirs; ponds, etc., and used the water so reserved for the other seasons for cultivation of food crops and his other requirements. By this way, the underground water was also raised, and it helped for digging wells to get enough water. By this way, in and around the place of livelihood, there were greenly atmospheres existed. By his strength, he suppressed the house hold animals under his control. He showed great interest by raising trees and other plants to protect the nature besides getting rainfall timely. By these manual efforts, he maintained a pleasant atmosphere, had good air to breath and work hard to get strength and health. He lived in the open air peacefully by getting clear and clean air and good atmosphere and had enough rest by going to sleep during the night hours. He didn\u2019t know the use of plastic and other clothes made by unnatural ways and wore merely the dresses made by cotton. As regards vessels, only the copper and mud made articles were used, which added the strength of human being. The hills stood as natural borders to add beauty to the atmosphere. By the various efforts for saving water courses, the rain flowed during the seasonal periods without any failure. The rivers appeared as regular water courses for all the seasons to provide enough water to feed the needs of the mankind. To summarize these facts we have to say that the mankind in the olden days protected the nature with motherly feeling and had given them the names pertaining to the feminine gender like Cauvery, Ganga etc., to mark his affection showed towards them.\nThe change of nature due to subsequent generations:\nDue to the rise of population, the mankind has to seek the remedy in increasing the habitation area. For this purpose, he destroyed the forest wealth and converts them into residential areas for his livelihood. Besides this, he commenced to use the agricultural lands also which became the reason for under growth of the essential commodities today. He left the constructions made of bricks and developed the usage of cement and cement mortar. To fulfill his selfish needs, he created various things, which have no way connected with the nature. To get granites, he cuts the hills and hillocks and thereby destroying them in a large scale. He used the sand of the water ways in a larger extent for the construction of houses. There is no guarantee for these constructions built during the recent days. In so many cases, the strength of the building became questionable and in so many cases, there were cracks found, and they could not be decided as to how long the building will exist. Unlike the olden days, the usage of electricity became normal for all the public, and most of the general public uses Air-conditioner for coolness. The usage of natural air has become rare. By this method, the earth becomes heat and common benefits are denied to be enjoyed.\nNow, the regularly flowing water courses have become dry with little water in them. The human being drank usually the herbal mixed water to the older periods at present compulsorily to take the so called purified water derived from the sea water. Actually, the agriculturist now witnesses before his own face the ruining of the crops raised by him with so many hurdles and hardships. Due to his inadvertency, he uses now-a-days the chemical manures to get more yield from the sowed seeds. The persons that used such crops involved with so many diseases caused due to the chemical substances they had with them. Besides this, there is an utter change in the worldly atmosphere.\nThe various destructed materials unearthed during the earlier period such as coal, iron and gold, etc., were more useful to the human kind. It is an extreme evil and sin to allow the drainage to be mixed with the great ocean from which he derives pearls and fishery wealth. Is it correct to take the keen interest towards the creation of novelties at the one side and to destroy the nature on the other side?\nIs it justifiable to destroy the nature\u2019s wealth for his selfishness by using the so-called artificial things which are actually bad to health? By going through several practical lessons about the benefits over the life in coordination with the nature, actually and practically during his real life, he refuses to act with those useful lessons he learned from books. Sucking the underground water for the use of mankind is a continuous process now-a-days. It will result finally that the underground water will be vanished fully even without a single drop. It may appear as a Mirage usually seen in the deserted area. This position will happen if this process is not stopped at least at this juncture without making suitable arrangements to save the rain water. Mankind refuses to allow improving the present natural ways but on the other hand, finding out so many things imagining themselves. They will be more useful without acquiring sufficient knowledge about their evilness. He could not fight against the natural disasters by his approach of finding out so many things, which are against the nature. He feels his faults only after the practical experience gained by the nature disasters and could not fight against them. With the intension of cooperating with the nature, he plants trees only here and there to show that he is growing forest wealth.\nIt is impossible to substitute something to replace nature\u2019s gifts. The earth requires plants to grow upon it, likewise; the man requires the general knowledge about the nature\u2019s gift and to follow in line with it to live with health and wealth. The purpose the gift of knowledge offered by the nature to the human being only is really to think in deep in all matters and come to good decisions to uplift his welfare. This special gift offered only to create things connected with nature but not for destruction. It is easy to destroy a constructed thing, but it will take more pain and hardships for its creation. If the mankind, instead of leaving any sort of properties for their descendants, it is better to allow the nature as it is without trying to destroy them during his life time. The present-day community should declare themselves to protect and allow the nature to exist as it is. By this declaration and oath will result the future India to be prosperous, strengthened besides possessing natural beauty. At the same time, it will be in a large extent to the coming generation to enjoy and lead a peaceful life during their entire life time.\nImage courtesy: Self-Designed.\nWritten by Dwarakanathan.",

        "title": "Health Care Availability for American Seniors Lags Behind Other Countries",
        "raw_content": "Health Care for American Seniors Lags Behind Other Countries\nAccording to a recent Commonwealth Fund study, health care for American seniors still lags behind the senior health care that is available in other industrialized countries. Participants in this study included seniors from the United States, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Although all Americans who are 65 and older are covered by Medicare, American seniors still tend to be sicker and go without essential care more frequently than seniors in other countries. In fact, almost one-quarter of American seniors did not go to a doctor when they were sick, fill a prescription, or get a recommended test, simply because they can\u2019t afford it. In the United Kingdom, Sweden, France, and Norway, only five percent of seniors failed to get essential healthcare due to costs.\nThe study results indicated that there are several reasons why this might be the case. First, Medicare does not cover as much as insurance options in other countries. For example, Medicare without any sort of supplement does not pay for prescription drugs. In other countries, however, government-sponsored insurance is available for not just seniors, but for everyone. As compared to other countries, the amount that the United States invests in social services programs is much lower than in other countries. On the other hand, America tends to overinvest in health care, despite the limited nature of Medicare benefits.\nThe fact is that American seniors spend more on out-of-pocket medical expenses than seniors in other countries, due to the fact that Medicare coverage is not as generous as government health care in other countries. In America, 22% of seniors paid more than $2,000 in out-of-pocket medical costs, as compared with less than 10% of seniors in the other countries surveyed, with the exception of Switzerland, where 31% of seniors had more than $2,000 in medical bills to pay.\nThe failure of America to sufficiently invest in social services programs also resulted in worse financial conditions for seniors, as compared to those in other countries. While 25% of American seniors said that they worried about having enough money to pay for essential needs, such as food, rent, electricity, heat, and medical care, only 10% of seniors in New Zealand, France, Norway, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Sweden, and the United Kingdom had similar concerns.\nEven when seniors receive adequate health care, they still may encounter other problems while in long term care facilities.

        "raw_content": "Waiting on Hospice Care Worsens Outcomes\nThe Journal of the American Geriatrics Society recently published the results of a study about the end of life and hospice care. The results of the study indicated that people toward the end of their lives tend to put off hospice care too long, which can add to their pain and suffering. Instead of getting the hospice care that they really need, individuals are spending days and even months in and out of the hospital, with their families struggling to care for them and meet their needs.\nA team of researchers from Yale University followed a group of 754 individuals over the course of 16 years. All of the individuals were 70 or older at the time that the study began. While about 40% of the 562 individuals who died during the study received hospice care during the last year of their lives, the median time spent in hospice care for this group was less than two weeks. When these patients entered hospice, they were experiencing a range of painful and uncomfortable symptoms, including pain, nausea, depression, and shortness of breath. None of these patients experienced any significant relief from these symptoms until they entered hospice care. Nonetheless, these patients may have endured months of emergency room visits and various health crises before entering hospice care, which can not only relieve symptoms, but can allow patients to remain comfortably in their homes, surrounded by family members and loved ones.\nMedicare has covered the costs of hospice since 1982, and a physician need only certify that a patient is terminally ill, or has less than six months to live, in order to qualify for hospice care coverage. Although sometimes difficult to predict, patients can leave hospice care if their conditions stabilize, and hospice coverage can go beyond six months if necessary. Some evidence even indicates that hospice patients live for comparable periods of time as those patients who do not receive hospice care.\nHospice is only of the issues related to end-of-life care that you should discuss well in advance of any incapacity or decline in the ability to care for one\u2019s self. Someone who has not planned for hospice care or not made his or her wishes clear about end-of-life care ultimately may endure more pain and suffering than he or she wants or deserves. The increased need for long-term care and medical treatment also can result in the increased risk for abuse and neglect at the hands of caregivers. The experienced Wisconsin elder abuse attorneys of Boller & Vaughan are here to help you through the aftermath of any claims related to the abuse or neglect that you have suffered at the hands of senior care facilities, including CBRFs.

        "raw_content": "The Basis of Human Equality\nDescription - One Another's Equals by Jeremy Waldron\nAn enduring theme of Western philosophy is that we are all one another's equals. Yet the principle of basic equality is woefully under-explored in modern moral and political philosophy. In a major new work, Jeremy Waldron attempts to remedy that shortfall with a subtle and multifaceted account of the basis for the West's commitment to human equality.\nWhat does it mean to say we are all one another's equals? Is this supposed to distinguish humans from other animals? What is human equality based on? Is it a religious idea, or a matter of human rights? Is there some essential feature that all human beings have in common? Waldron argues that there is no single characteristic that serves as the basis of equality. He says the case for moral equality rests on four capacities that all humans have the potential to possess in some degree: reason, autonomy, moral agency, and the ability to love. But how should we regard the differences that people display on these various dimensions? And what are we to say about those who suffer from profound disability--people whose claim to humanity seems to outstrip any particular capacities they have along these lines?\nWaldron, who has worked on the nature of equality for many years, confronts these questions and others fully and unflinchingly. Based on the Gifford Lectures that he delivered at the University of Edinburgh in 2015, One Another's Equals takes Waldron's thinking further and deeper than ever before.\nBuy One Another's Equals by Jeremy Waldron from Australia's Online Independent Bookstore, Boomerang Books.\nBook Reviews - One Another's Equals by Jeremy Waldron\n\u00bb Have you read this book?

If that\u2019s not enough to get fans salivating, check this out:\n\u201cWe can confirm that Floyd Mayweather definitely wants the Pacquiao fight,\u201d the LA Times quoted a Showtime \u201cspokesperson\u201d as saying before The Guardian piece came out. \u201cEveryone on our side \u2014 Floyd, CBS and Showtime \u2014 is advocating for the fight to happen.\u201d\nAlthough most would agree that all things Mayweather-Pacquiao should be taken with a grain of salt at this point there\u2019s no doubt that the eagerness factor is starting to build again, not only among fight fans, but around the sports world in general.\nPeople want to see this fight. Period.\nNow, after PacMan has defeated Chris Algieri in an almost comically dominant fashion, the chatter will once again reach a near fever pitch.\nWill this time be any different? Who knows? There is one thing worth noting, however. CBS honcho Les Moonves is apparently interested in seeing Mayweather-Pacquiao come to fruition.\n\u201cLes Moonves, the chairman of CBS, has taken over the negotiations,\u201d the Times quoted Arum as saying. \u201cHe has negotiated with me on the Pacquiao side and we are close to reaching a deal on the Pacquiao side.\u201d\nIt\u2019s worth keeping in mind that CBS controls Showtime, the network Mayweather still has an extremely lucrative contract with. If that doesn\u2019t count for something, it\u2019s hard to imagine what does.\n\u201cHe\u2019s going to fight me?\u201d Pacquiao laughed when Max Kellerman asked about Mayweather after Saturday\u2019s fight. \u201cYes!\u201d Pacquiao was, of course, referring to a pretty funny ad he\u2019s recently done for Foot Locker.\nStill, in spite of his easy going nature, it\u2019s clear he\u2019d love to fight the guy they call Money.\n\u201cI\u2019m ready to fight. I\u2019m ready to fight next year for him,\u201d Pacquiao said.\nIn the end, though, both sides will have to decide if they want the bout or not. Many, many fans and analysts feel Floyd simply doesn\u2019t want to get into the ring with the Filipino legend. There are those, however, who aren\u2019t so quick to write Floyd off.\n\u201cHe does want to do things on his terms, on his turf, when he feels like it,\u201d Roy Jones Jr. said of Mayweather on Saturday evening after the Pacquiao-Algieri blowout.\nHere\u2019s the truth \u2013 Mayweather needs the fight more than Pacquiao does. Believe it. For whatever reason, people now blame Mayweather for the fact the bout hasn\u2019t happened yet. That\u2019s going to stay with Mayweather \u2013 and his legacy \u2013 as long a Pacquiao-free undefeated record will.\nFair or not, Pacquiao is viewed as the good guy in all of this. That\u2019s unlikely to change. What\u2019s more, PacMan comes across as a guy who doesn\u2019t need a great legacy (which he\u2019ll undoubtedly have anyway) in order to feel okay with himself.\nCan the same be said of Mayweather? Probably not.\nThe reality is that Mayweather will be more respected for losing to Pacquiao than he will if he never fights the guy at all. History will be kinder to him, as well. Muhammad Ali. Mike Tyson. Joe Louis. Ray Robinson. Countless greats have lost. Yet they\u2019re still considered great.\nIn the end, though, only the players involved know what\u2019s actually going on. For all anyone knows Floyd really wants the fight. Perhaps he\u2019s really wanted it for years. Who\u2019s to say? As far as perception goes, however, Mayweather is seen as avoiding a feared opponent.\nAnd perceptions matter \u2013 like it or not.\nIt\u2019s time \u2013 finally \u2013 for this match to happen.",

There will be CrossFit equipment, Peloton exercise bikes and a resistance pool (basically, a treadmill for swimming). Oh, and don\u2019t forget the forthcoming Publix in the ground floor of the building, plus restaurants such as noted Memphis chain Central BBQ.\nThe apartments are the latest piece to debut in the Capitol View development, which also includes a 17-story office building for subsidiaries of HCA Healthcare Inc.

Boyle is overseeing the entire Capitol View project alongside financial backer Northwestern Mutual Real Estate.\nAt a time when the supply of urban apartments is still outpacing demand, it\u2019s not surprising that new projects such as Capitol View are bursting with amenities \u2014 while also dangling incentives in front of prospective renters, such as a month or two of free rent.\nAlmost 100 of the 378 apartments are leased thus far.

        "raw_content": "Newt Gingrich Contradicts Himself in the Same Sentence\nMorning Bulletin: Peaceable Kingdom Edition\nMorning Bulletin: The Group of 30 Has Lost Its Collective Mind...\nPaul Krugman blogs:\nMartin Wolf Is Not A Serious Person : And neither am I. Wolf writes:\nI have now lost faith in the view that giving the markets what we think they may want in future \u2013 even though they show little sign of insisting on it now \u2013 should be the ruling idea in policy.\nAmen. Yet most of the men in the room where I\u2019m now sitting believe the contrary. With a few exceptions, everyone is calling for fiscal austerity everywhere, right now.\nAs Ricardo Caballero says, the big problem right now is that the world economy has too little safe high-quality financial assets, and thus excess demand for them is, by Walras's Law, producing excess supply of goods and services:\nIt\u2019s the general equilibrium, stupid: [T]he fundamental problem... is a shortage of safe \u201cAAA\u201d assets. The world seems to need more US Treasury-like instruments than are available.... The demand for these assets has expanded as a result of the fear triggered by the crisis.... But this time the private sector industry created to supply these safe assets \u2013 the securitisation and complex-assets production industry \u2013 is severely damaged. Much of what we see that confuses us today is the equilibrium consequence of living in an environment with this shortage. There is enormous asset price volatility, especially as assets transit out of the safe assets category... the recent difficulties in the Eurozone can be seen in this light, with Greece and others dropping from the potential safe-asset producers list. This shortage also leads to chronically low safe real interest rates.... These however, are the consequences, not the source. The US Congress and the Bank for International Settlements\u2019 knee-jerk reactions are (mostly) bound to reallocate the malady, rather than cure it.... [A] more effective goal would be to focus on expanding the real supply of AAA assets... two basic ways of achieving this in the short run... governments in safe-asset-producing countries [could] produce a lot more of them [by running fiscal deficits]... the private sector create the AAA assets and for the governments (at a fair price) to absorb only that part of the risk the private sector cannot handle.... [F]unding fiscal deficits is very inexpensive these days... as long as one remains within the safe-asset-producer category...\nIn short, expansionary fiscal policy (credit-worthy governments print up a huge honking tranche of AAA assets, and then use the money to buy goods and services) or expansionary monetary policy (credit-worthy central banks take on duration and interest rate risk by buying securities for cash, and by increasing the money stock increase the supply of the most AAA of AAA assets) or expansionary banking policy (Treasuries and central banks turn leaden risky assets into golden safe ones by offering guarantees of one sort or another). The hope is that, by Walras's Law which tells us that excess demands across all markets must sum to zero, that relieving excess demand for AAA assets will produce as a consequence the relief of excess supply and full-employment balance in the markets for goods, services, and labor as well.\nThis is the line of policy that was recommended by John Stuart Mill in the aftermath of the very first industrial business cycle--the 1825 crash of Britain's canal bubble:\nJohn Stuart Mill: It must, undoubtedly, be admitted that there cannot be an excess [supply] of all other commodities, and an excess [supply] of [AAA assets] at the same time. But those who have, at periods such as we have described, affirmed that there was an excess of all commodities, never pretended that [AAA assets] was one of these commodities; they held that there was not an excess, but a deficiency of [AAA assets]. What they called a general superabundance, was not a superabundance of commodities relatively to commodities, but a superabundance of all commodities relatively to [AAA assets]. What it amounted to was, that persons in general, at that particular time, from a general expectation of being called upon to meet sudden demands, liked better to possess [AAA assets] than any other commodity. [AAA assets], consequently, was in request, and all other commodities were in comparative disrepute. In extreme cases, [AAA assets] is collected in masses, and hoarded; in the milder cases, people merely defer parting with their [AAA assets], or coming under any new engagements to part with it. But the result is, that all commodities fall in price, or become unsaleable...\nAnd that had in fact been carried out by the Bank of England in 1825-1826. Let me turn the microphone over to Walter Bagehot:\nThe way in which the panic of 1825 was stopped by advancing money has been described in so broad and graphic a way that the passage has become classical. 'We lent it,' said Mr. Harman... [one of the Directors] of the Bank of England:\nby every possible means and in modes we had never adopted before; we took in stock on security, we purchased Exchequer bills, we made advances on Exchequer bills, we not only discounted outright, but we made advances on the deposit of bills of exchange to an immense amount, in short, by every possible means consistent with the safety of the Bank, and we were not on some occasions over-nice. Seeing the dreadful state in which the public were, we rendered every assistance in our power...\nThis is the line of policy that, broadly, the world has been following since the subprime crash started in mid-2007 and excess demand for AAA assets first became grossly apparent. And this is the line of policy that the Group of 30 now wishes to reverse--without putting anything in its place.\nNow it is certainly the case that the government budget constraint holds in the long run--that governments cannot keep running deficits and raising their debt and taking on tail risk forever without cracking the AAA status of their own debt and so not relieving but instead aggravating the excess demand for AAA assets which is the Walras's Law balancing entry to excess supply in the markets for goods and services and high unemployment. As Ricardo writes:\n[W]ere we to continue along this path, at some point it will make sense to decouple fiscal deficits from asset production--lest we find ourselves cast in an epic Greek tragedy. The US Treasury would have to start buying riskier private assets rather than running fiscal deficits as the counterpart for its supply of Treasuries.... [In the medium term] the second, private-public approach is probably... sounder.... The private sector is much more efficient than the government in producing micro-AAA assets, but the opposite is true for macro-AAA asset production. Issuing public debt leaves the government in charge of bundling and producing both the micro- and the macro-AAA assets. Instead, if the government only provides an explicit insurance against systemic events... we could have a significant expansion in the supply of safe assets without the corresponding expansion of public debt...\nBut we are extremely far from cracking the U.S. government's status as the supplier of AAA assets to the global economy right now. When we see signs that further issues of Treasury bonds or loan guarantees by the U.S. government are starting to erode the AAA status of U.S. government debt, then will be the time to back off of expansionary U.S. fiscal, monetary, and banking policy. Then--not now.",

        "title": "Alan Wigmore - British Drag Racing Hall of Fame",
        "raw_content": "To talk about Alan Wigmore is to talk about the National Drag Racing Club.\nIn the late 1960s, a year or two after the formation of the British Drag Racing and Hot Rod Association, the original club at Santa Pod, a group of racers and marshals began to worry about the direction which the club seemed to be taking at the time. The sort of thing desired was not radical - better marshalling facilities, more transparency about club finances, a shorter period of office for officials and better PR for the sport. They formed a club within the BDR&HRA called the Drag Control & Timing Association. Following a series of meetings of the fifty-strong group at unusual locations such as the Jones Paper Mill in St Neots the group had made a tentative approach to the RAC to ask to gain racing recognition. While this was being granted, the group tried to air their grievances at the 1969 BDR & HRA Annual General Meeting but failed to elicit change and on 24 October 1969 the NDRC was formed with Alan Wigmore as Chairman. It became an independent organisation after the hundred members braved heavy snows and a flu epidemic to attend a meeting at the Matrix works in Coventry.\nThe first big challenge to the NDRC came when the RAC as governing body of British motorsport announced they were no longer allowing the word National in club titles. This came just as the NDRC had taken delivery of its letterhead and signage at a cost of \u00a3200. Although the Club appealed and won a dispensation to call itself National it had to commit itself to be a truly national club and run meetings at as many venues around the country as possible. After a couple of meetings at Santa Pod in 1970 an inaugural meeting at Blackbushe was run with help from the Santa Pod crew. The first truly independent meeting was at Martlesham Heath in Suffolk where on a summer's day virtually every mobile Suffolk Police Unit was called out to police the 8,000 strong crowd along the country lanes.\nIn the early 1970s venues included Fulbeck near Newark in Nottingham; Dunkefwell in Devon; North Luffenham near Leicester and Elvington in the North Riding as it was called then. The Club co-promoted events at RAF Wroughton near Swindon and successful on-tour meets to venues like Silverstone, Snetterton, and, of course Blackbushe.\nAs well as leading the NDRC, Alan was the voice of drag racing at NDRC events in the 1970s and 1980s and, at the start of his career, a driver. His career as a racer was quite short but colourful. He drove the Itzaviva altered which was based on a Vauxhall Viva powered by a 288 cubic inch Chevy engine and ran in the elevens at 120 mph. This car was unfortunately written off in a racing accident at the 1971 August Bank Holiday International meeting, rolling five times at 120 mph, shearing off a wheel, shifting the motor in its mounts, and after getting out merely bruised Alan confined his energies to NDRC organisation. The Viva was painted by Alan's father who ran Pop's Paints in Stanmore, N. London. In an early instance of a passenger ride Alan once took Geof Hauser for a ride in this car at RAF North Luffenham.\nIn the late 1970s Alan spearheaded the NDRC's hunt for a permanent track for its racing activities. Many of the on-tour venues were unsuitable for regular drag racing events, with other uses potentially clashing with racing; a new venue at Radlett near Watford ran into planning difficulties. At this stage Long Marston came into play having been used for eighth-mile races by the NDRC Midlands division since 1975. Alan entered into negotiations with the owners and by late 1979 an agreement was reached to refurbish the track and open it for quarter-mile action, which happened in May 1980 after months of hard work.\nHe died in November 1998 five months short of his sixtieth birthday having devoted his life to the sport he loved.",

        "raw_content": "Rumsfeld Forges a Smart War Plan\nMichael E. O\u2019Hanlon Thursday, November 21, 2002\nEven for those of us who often disagree with Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld\u2019s foreign policy views, his stewardship of the Pentagon is instructive. Most notable in recent months has been the way he has worked with the uniformed military to develop a war plan for overthrowing Saddam Hussein, should that become necessary.\nMr. Rumsfeld\u2019s basic approach has been to push, cajole, question and challenge his war planners in an effort to devise an innovative strategy for any possible war.\nIn particular, he reportedly opposed the first drafts of the battle plans presented to him last year. These appear to have been somewhat traditional invasion concepts relying on brute strength, huge numbers of U.S. forces and overwhelming firepower. Yet in the end he also heeded military advice that it would be imprudent for the United States to depend on a small force, as in Afghanistan, even if it was equipped with the latest technology and even if fighting a mediocre foe.\nWhat has come out of this process, according to recent press reports, is a smart war plan.\nAs the uniformed military desired, U.S. forces would number a robust 250,000 or so, providing plenty of firepower to defeat substantial Iraqi opposition should elite Republican Guard forces fight hard. A large force would also help stabilize the country after any conflict, discourage Iraq\u2019s neighbors from mischief-making in the aftermath of Mr. Hussein\u2019s fall and hasten the job of finding and destroying Iraqi weapons of mass destruction so they don\u2019t fall into the hands of terrorists.\nDeploying such a force to the region also would increase the chances that Mr. Hussein\u2019s military would turn against him, realizing the ruling regime\u2019s demise has become inevitable.\nBut Mr. Rumsfeld was right to demand new ideas. Warfare is changing quickly, and it makes sense to look for new ideas. According to the same recent press reports, Mr. Rumsfeld has successfully pushed Gen. Tommy Franks, commander of U.S. forces in the gulf, to devise imaginative ways for using the large forces he would deploy to the region.\nFirst, a few tens of thousands of Americans (and probably British soldiers as well) would move into rural parts of Iraq and establish staging bases. Then they would gradually encircle cities, tightening the noose on Iraqi military movements and stepping up the pressure in the hope that Mr. Hussein might fall of his own weight internally. Targeted strikes against certain Iraqi infrastructure and elite troops would be the next step. All-out street battles in cities would be conducted only as a last resort.\nSecretaries of defense, and presidents, have not always done a good job in striking the balance between providing careful oversight of the armed forces while avoiding micromanagement of their operations.\nIn the 1960s, the Kennedy and Johnson administrations rightly resisted the military\u2019s ideas to bomb Soviet missiles in Cuba. But they were both too tolerant of the military\u2019s strategic concept in Vietnam, on the one hand, and too involved in the details of targeting on the other. In 1983, Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger did not provide enough careful oversight of U.S. military operations in Lebanon, and the Marine barracks there were tragically bombed.\nOf course, it is only the preliminary signs that are good in regard to Iraq. The real proof will be in the fighting, not the planning. There is always the possibility that things will start well but then take a turn for the worse. That happened in Afghanistan, where the U.S. strategy for defeating the Taliban worked masterfully in October and November 2001, yet the decision to bomb the Tora Bora mountains in December without first ringing the area with U.S. troops appears to have allowed Osama bin Laden and other terrorists to escape.\nBut there is much to admire, and emulate, in Mr. Rumsfeld\u2019s work with his military subordinates\u2014even if he often annoys the heck out of them in the process.",

        "title": "Disaggregating Latin America: Diverse Trajectories, Emerging Clusters and their Implications",
        "raw_content": "Abraham F. Lowenthal Tuesday, November 1, 2011\nFrom the time a 19th century French geographer labeled the countries south of the United States and Canada \u201cLatin America,\u201d the term has always seemed more of a reality from outside the Western Hemisphere than within it. From outside, and particularly from Europe, these nations often seem more closely related to each other than they appear to be up close. In fact, Latin American countries have long been divided by almost as much as that which unites them: different colonial heritages and histories, and radically different geographies, demographies, and ethnic compositions. They have different levels and types of economic and social development, political traditions and institutions, modes of insertion into the international economy, and international policies and relationships. Most of the countries of South and Central America and parts of the Caribbean do share common Iberian historical, religious, linguistic and cultural traditions; many have had broadly comparable relations most of the time with the industrial countries; and they all share the same hemisphere with the United States and Canada. But one should not lose sight of the many and important differences among the diverse countries of Latin America and the Caribbean.\nThe policy communities, both in the United States and in Europe, came in the 1990s to think of the Latin American countries as tending then toward convergence\u2014mostly proceeding, at different paces, along the same presumably irreversible path of political and economic liberalization, with Chile blazing the trail. This perception is highly questionable now, as various countries pursue distinct goals with contrasting approaches and policies. Easy rhetoric about regional integration, and even such institutional steps in that direction as the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) and the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR), South America\u2019s recently established diplomatic and security communities, are mainly wishful thinking or, at best, \u201cthoughtful wishing.\u201d Rhetorical expressions of Latin American (or at least South American) unity are often rudely contradicted in practice. Transnational integration is occurring in Latin America much more at the level of corporations and professional networks than at the level of governments and multilateral organizations. Intraregional trade agreements have not taken hold, for the most part, and intraregional trade has been declining over the past several years, in fact, both among the Mercosur countries and in the Andean Community.\nDisaggregating Latin America\nThe countries of Latin America may best be understood and analyzed by focusing on where they fit along five distinct dimensions\u2014three structural, and two historical and institutional\u2014which have significant implications for how they work politically and economically, and for their international roles:\n\u2022 Their levels of demographic and economic interdependence with the United States, or with other major regions including Europe and China\n\u2022 Their resource endowments and their degree of openness to international competition, and the consequent nature of their insertion into the global economy\n\u2022 The extent to which they face the challenge of incorporating traditionally excluded populations, including millions of marginalized and disadvantaged but increasingly mobilized indigenous people, as well as Afro-descendants and others in deep poverty who have not previously been fully integrated into the economy nor able to exercise effective citizenship\n\u2022 The relative strength and capacity of the state and of civil and political institutions beyond the state, such as political parties, trade unions, religious organizations, the media and other non-governmental entities\n\u2022 The vitality of such key aspects of democratic governance as separate branches of government, checks and balances, free and fair elections, independent media, accountability and the rule of law.\nWhere these countries are found along a spectrum with regard to each of these five dimensions\u2014rather than familiar dichotomous categories such as left or right, authoritarian or democratic, free market or statist\u2014captures the most important variations among these many countries.\nIndeed, the very term Latin America is not very useful. It is more helpful to think of subcategories, including the countries of North America (Mexico and the various nations of Central America and the Caribbean), almost all\u2014even Cuba in some important ways\u2014ever more closely integrated with the United States; Brazil, a nation of continental scope that has never felt itself closely and exclusively tied with the countries of South America and is now even more than before linked with Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Europe as well as with Latin America and the United States; the Amer-Indian regions, mostly on the Andean ridge, but also in southern Mexico, parts of Central America, and Paraguay, which are ever more shaped by their indigenous populations; and the truly \u201cLatin\u201d (or European) countries of the Southern Cone, with ethnic compositions, social structures, political institutions and traditions broadly similar to the countries of continental Europe. The subcategories I have suggested are not geographically defined, nor are most candidates for subregional economic integration; they are conceptual groupings, highlighting salient characteristics that make the members of each subcategory behave similarly in some important respects.\nFocusing on these important differences, more than on aspirations of regional integration, is necessary to understand diverse countries that have been and are on quite different paths, reflecting their distinct pasts and shaped by different political leaders and constituencies, available resources, opportunities and ideologies.\nThe Universal Challenge: Reconciling Equity and Markets\nIn their efforts to achieve economic growth, socioeconomic equity and social inclusion, Latin American countries have all moved in recent years, from different starting points, away from the extremes of unbridled capitalism on the one hand and state-run socialist economies on the other.\nEven Cuba under the Castro brothers, who still proclaim themselves Socialist with a capital S, is radically reducing the number of state employees, authorizing private ownership of housing, encouraging private agricultural production and markets as well as small businesses of many types, and otherwise experimenting with the reintroduction of material incentives and other capitalist practices. Few well informed observers doubt that in the next decade Cuba\u2019s economy, whether through gradual reforms or rupture, will be significantly transformed, and that domestic and international investment in private enterprises will sooner or later spur a burst of economic growth. Nationalism, not socialism, is likely to be the lasting contribution of the Castro period to Cuban history.\nUnder Hugo Ch\u00e1vez, Venezuela has proclaimed that it is building \u201c21st Century socialism\u201d (a goal that Ch\u00e1vez did not unveil until he had been in power for several years). The Ch\u00e1vez government has nationalized various important companies, strongly regulated and intimidated others, and undertaken social programs and provided social services through redistributive programs (the Misiones). But Venezuela has also preserved a well-rewarded private financial sector, permitted significant other private sector activity and the continuing accumulation of private wealth, and maintained a primary trade connection with the United States while also diversifying its international relationships by cultivating countries antagonistic to the United States. Recently, moreover, in the wake of his cancer surgery and in the run-up to the elections scheduled for 2012, President Ch\u00e1vez appears, at least at times, to be downplaying the \u201csocialist\u201d discourse and concentrating on encouraging the market-oriented middle class, giving some signs of recognizing how vital their confidence and participation could be for Venezuela\u2019s national success.\nIn Bolivia, Ecuador and Nicaragua\u2014three other members of the Bolivarian Alternative (ALBA) that have employed \u201csocialist\u201d discourse in recent years\u2014there are increased, if ambivalent, efforts to attract foreign investment, cooperate with international financial institutions, and coax national private investors to participate more actively. Ecuador\u2019s Rafael Correa has explicitly downplayed the rhetoric of \u201c21st Century socialism,\u201d preferring the language of \u201cbuen vivir,\u201d a concept of indigenous (Bolivian) origins connoting \u201cliving well,\u201d in a normatively positive and sustainable way, privileging solidarity rather than competition. A similar though less clearly articulated discourse has emerged in plurinational Bolivia, where Evo Morales attempts to balance an appeal to indigenous peoples and ecological sustainability with occasional pragmatic efforts to attract foreign investment for major projects in natural resource extraction and development, a combination that sometimes leads to major contradictions and course corrections. Nicaragua under the Ortega couple, albeit in a cruder way, combines old-style \u201csocialist\u201d rhetoric with pragmatic policies to retain international markets, attract both official development assistance and private investment from the capitalist world, and coopt national business leaders by giving them opportunities to prosper.\nThe state \u201csocialist\u201d ideological model, in short, is giving way in practice to an evolving attempt, different in each case, to combine the goals of social inclusion, community solidarity and the integration of disadvantaged sectors with the use of capitalist instruments to expand economic growth. In all these countries, popularly-oriented economic and redistributive policies are accompanied by severely weakened legislative and judicial restraints on executive power and personal aggrandizement, populist appeals to disadvantaged majorities, systematic attacks on privileged elites and on \u201cneoliberalism\u201d (and behind that, the United States), and appeals to anti-globalization advocates around the world. These regimes do not foster coalition-building across social sectors nor do they seek Western Hemisphere cooperation to confront shared challenges.\nThere are many differences among these ALBA cases. Daniel Ortega and his wife, Rosario Murillo, operate in large measure as traditional Central American/Caribbean caudillos, manipulating personal ambitions and relationships with little regard for ideological coherence or legal constraints. Hugo Ch\u00e1vez brings a special combination of charisma, audacity, social resentment, military authority and tactical flexibility to his leadership, which is overwhelmingly personalistic, and therefore vulnerable if his health deteriorates. Rafael Correa is a U.S.-educated Ph.D. who is drawing on civil society activists to build technocratic bureaucracies, while continuing relentlessly to attack discredited elites and institutions. Evo Morales builds upon and exacerbates long-standing and deep-seated ethnic and regional cleavages within Bolivia and cultivates transnational support from NGOs, while striking out against real and imagined foreign enemies whenever he feels that domestic circumstances require an external foe.\nTwo Broad Groups\nWith all these and other variations, however, the \u201cBolivarian alternative\u201d countries share deep suspicion of markets, free enterprise and globalization generally, and especially of the institutions of liberal representative democracy, where horizontal accountability is sought through separate and independent branches of government, checks and balances, and the rule of law. These Bolivarian experiments with \u201crefoundation\u201d and plebiscitary governance have been made possible by the thorough discrediting of previous regimes and, in most cases, have been financed directly or indirectly by windfall profits from natural resource endowments that allow immediate and broader distribution of expanded national income.\nIn the rest of Latin America, with the possible exception of Argentina, the ALBA approach has not lately been gaining further traction, and it is less likely to do so as the ALBA countries experience growing internal difficulties that will be further compounded if and when energy prices drop. But in many of the other Latin American countries there is emerging, to differing degrees, an amalgam of market-oriented, socially responsive and redistributive policies, combined, however, with an embrace (stronger in some cases than in others) of markets, capitalism and globalization. In these cases, moreover, there is a much more institutional approach to governance and accountability, combined with concerted efforts at consensus-building and international cooperation rather than polarization. Such attempts are evident in Chile, Brazil, Uruguay, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, and now in Peru. Peru\u2019s recently elected president, Ollanta Humala, originally aligned with the ALBA approach, was finally elected and thus far appears to be governing in ways much closer to the mainstream approach.\nIn these countries, highly diverse in many other respects, there is a shared tendency to give high priority to achieving macroeconomic stability; to demonstrating openness to foreign private investment, although often on improved terms, especially in the mining and petroleum sectors; and to achieving previsibilidad (i.e stability of expectations about the rules of the game and about agreed procedures for changing these). These countries, at least in their stated goals, are all emphasizing policies to reduce and alleviate poverty through economic growth and expanded employment, conditional cash transfers, higher minimum wages, social programs and, in some cases, progressive taxation. They all aim to diminish socio-economic inequities; make conditions safer for the private sector by reducing polarization; expand access to and improving the quality of education and infrastructure; and strengthen accountable political, judicial and law enforcement institutions.\nImplementation of this broad program varies greatly from country to country, in part because state capacity differs so widely. It has been called a \u201cglobal social democratic\u201d path by Fernando Henrique Cardoso, Brazil\u2019s scholar-statesman. It is being funded in some countries by windfall income from high commodity prices, and is also made possible in part by the relatively mild impact in South America of the international financial crisis. This was a silver lining that resulted from the fact that their financial institutions and fiscal policies had been greatly strengthened in response to recent debacles. But it is also made possible, as Cardoso argues, by structural and political preconditions, including the prior diversification of economic production and the development of effective, albeit imperfect and uneven, institutions and practices of democratic governance. In several countries\u2014Mexico, the Central American and some Caribbean nations, and still to some extent in Colombia\u2014these advantages are being undermined, however, by organized crime, much of it related to drug-trafficking organizations.\nThere are also important differences, of course, in leaders\u2019 backgrounds, political coalitions and specific programs. The presidents range from former guerrillas and leftist insurgents to former military officers, business tycoons and an ex-bishop; from internationally educated cosmopolitans to highly provincial figures; from very experienced politicians to newly minted ones. The political coalitions are grounded in some countries in the most modern and economically advanced regions, while in others, their base of support comes primarily from the most impoverished provinces, sometimes of indigenous ethnic composition. The scope of state enterprises in these countries varies widely, with some of the largest and most powerful state enterprises (Petrobras in Brazil, PEMEX in Mexico, and CODELCO in Chile, for example), operating in the most market-friendly nations. In all these diverse countries, however, the shared central challenge is how to combine the dynamics of market capitalism with improved social inclusion. Nowhere has the perfect solution yet been fashioned. Even in Chile, which had seemed the poster child for social democracy, strong pressures are building to expand effective participation; to redress class privileges, embodied in the country\u2019s secondary and higher educational systems; and to extend to the middle class rights previously exercised only by economic and social elites.\nLatin America, in sum, is not a unified region. Its heterogeneous countries differ significantly in several ways. But despite their many differences, they cluster at present into two broad groups. One comprises the \u201cBolivarian alternative\u201d countries: profoundly suspicious of globalization, markets, liberal representative democracy and cooperation with the well-established world powers, but all groping in different ways to attract resources and markets from the capitalist countries. The other is a highly diverse set of nations that are trying to adjust to globalization by seeking access to the dynamic energies and resources provided by capitalist enterprises, while counterbalancing capitalism\u2019s negative effects on equity and social inclusion through redistributive policies and by strengthening the institutions of democratic governance. These two clusters are more fuzzy than distinct, more \u201cworks in progress\u201d than ideological models, and are responding tactically both to domestic pressures and to international constraints and opportunities, rather than conforming to consistent templates.\nWhat Shapes the International Relations of the Latin American and Caribbean Countries?\nThese broadly differing approaches have important international policy implications. This is most evident in the recurring tendency in Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia, Nicaragua and Ecuador to seek confrontation with the United States as one aspect of their domestic strategies for popular legitimacy. To the extent that these confrontational tactics are mostly symbolic, and often contradicted in practice by pragmatic cooperation, they have limited geopolitical importance as long as the U.S. government (and European governments when relevant) responds to provocations with the \u201crope-a-dope\u201d technique made famous by Muhammad Ali in the boxing ring: letting the punches fall unanswered, without causing real damage, while the puncher tires. An interesting question is whether a more beleaguered Ch\u00e1vez, or perhaps another severely challenged ALBA leader, might eventually seek more concrete and genuinely threatening international cooperation with an extra-hemispheric power against the United States. This is an unlikely, but plausible, scenario.\nThe most important determinants of Latin America\u2019s diverse international relationships are less ideological than structural and geoeconomic, however. First and foremost, there is an overwhelming distinction between the closest neighbors of the United States\u2014Mexico and the countries of Central America and the Caribbean\u2014and the nations of South America. During the past fifty years, the society and economy of the United States have become ever more intertwined with those of Mexico and the countries of Central America and the Caribbean, primarily as a result of massive migration, authorized and unauthorized, to the United States and of growing functional economic integration, particularly of labor markets, finance and production processes. The frontier between the United States and its closest neighbors is extremely porous. People, goods, money, and ideas flow easily back and forth across formal boundaries. Sixty percent of Mexico\u2019s population have relatives in the United States, where nearly a fifth of Mexico\u2019s population is employed, and more than half a million U.S. retirees, in turn, reside in Mexico. Some fifteen percent of those born in the Caribbean and Central American countries alive today have also moved to the United States. In Mexico, remittances from the diaspora amount to some $25 billion a year (more or less, depending on the state of the US economy), almost as much as direct foreign investment. In Central America, Haiti and the Dominican Republic, remittances exceed foreign investment and international economic assistance combined. Campaign contributions and votes from the diaspora are crucially important in home country politics, while the votes of naturalized immigrants play an increasingly important role in U.S. elections. Juvenile gangs and criminal leaders socialized on U.S. streets and in U.S. jails are wreaking havoc in their countries of origin, in many cases after being deported from the United States, while Latino gangs contribute to violence in Los Angeles, Phoenix, and elsewhere. Historical notions of \u201csovereignty\u201d have much less real meaning in such circumstances, even as they are still vociferously articulated on both sides.\nThe issues that flow directly from the growing mutual interpenetration between the United States and its closest neighbors\u2014human, drug and arms trafficking, immigration, the environment and public health, medical tourism and portable health and pension benefits, natural disasters, law enforcement and border management\u2014pose particularly complex challenges for policy on both sides. These \u201cintermestic\u201d issues, combining international and domestic facets, are difficult to handle because the democratic political process pushes policies, both in the United States and in the neighboring countries, in directions that are often diametrically opposed. That makes it difficult to secure the intimate and sustained international cooperation required to manage difficult problems that transcend borders. The difficulty is compounded in those countries\u2014Guatemala, Honduras and Haiti, in particular\u2014with very weak state capacity. All this in turn makes the international relations of these countries different in kind from those of South America\u2019s nations.\nBrazil is an increasingly influential country with a population of more than 190 million and the world\u2019s seventh or eighth largest economy, likely to become the fifth largest (with the United States, China, India and Japan) by mid-century or sooner. It has largely opened itself to international economic competition, dramatically modernized its vast agricultural sector, developed industries with continental and even worldwide markets and expanded the global competitiveness of its engineering, financial and other services. Brazil has also slowly but steadily strengthened both its state and its nongovernmental institutions. And it has forged an increasingly firm centrist consensus on broad macroeconomic and social goals, including the urgent need to reduce gross inequities and alleviate extreme poverty; to continue to expand its large, expanding and influential middle class (now numbering some one hundred million persons); to improve the quality of and access to education; and to improve productivity, infrastructure, citizen security and efficiency. Achieving these gains will be far from easy, especially with the country\u2019s fragmented parties and governance, but at least there is a high degree of national consensus about where Brazil should be headed.\nBrazil is playing and will play a growing role in international negotiations on trade, climate change, the environment, public health, food security and intellectual property. It is an active leader of the Global South; works closely with China, India and South Africa on several issues; and is cultivating ties with the Muslim world and with Africa. It is also one of the influential and growing BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) nations, the darlings of international investors and geopolitical analysts. It is taking an ever more prominent leadership role in South America, a lead role in UN efforts to stabilize Haiti, and has been active (though not always effective) in the United Nations, the G20 group of the world\u2019s most important economies and in other multilateral global and regional fora.\nThe fundamental challenge at this stage for relations between Brazil and the United States, as well as with the EU nations, is to overcome conflicting domestic political imperatives, vested interests and policy gridlock on both sides in order to build greater synergy on major global issues: by strengthening regimes for trade, finance and investment; developing and implementing measures to cope with climate change and to develop alternative renewable energy sources; preventing and responding to pandemics; curbing nuclear proliferation; and reforming international governance arrangements. All this will require conceptual clarity, constructive diplomacy, and consistent tact by all involved.\nThe countries of the Southern Cone are neither as connected to nor as integrated with the United States as its closest neighbors, nor are they as globally influential or as important for Europe as Brazil. Chile is the Latin American nation most fully engaged in the world economy, with strong political institutions and entrenched democratic practices, but it remains, after all, a small to medium-sized country. Chile\u2019s international influence, based on its soft power, is considerably greater than its size, military power or economic strength alone would command. It presents issues and opportunities, both to the United States and to European nations, comparable to those posed by long-time allies, grounded upon broadly shared interests. Argentina, by contrast, has had great difficulty over the years in building broad consensus, fortifying institutions, opening up its full economy to international competition and achieving the stability of expectations that is so important to overcome short-termedness (cortoplacismo) and to facilitate economic development and consistent international engagement. For both European countries and the United States (equidistant from Buenos Aires), Argentina always seems like a natural partner, but almost always disappoints. Uruguay is in some ways an extension of Argentina, but it acts internationally much like Chile, largely because of its well-developed political institutions.\nThe Andean countries (Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela) to differing degrees are plagued by severe problems of governance and with the challenge of integrating large numbers of historically excluded people, living in poverty or extreme poverty, and in many cases from indigenous or Afro-descendant backgrounds. Poverty, compound inequities, mass exclusion, rising ethnic and class consciousness, market economies and electoral politics have made all the Andean nations, in different ways, politically unstable. Colombia has long had democratically elected governments and constitutional governance, but it has also faced a prolonged insurgency and pervasive corruption, weakening its institutions. Peru has seemed politically stable through several consecutive presidential elections, but its political parties have weakened more each time; the prospects that an anti-system \u201coutsider\u201d will triumph has been high time after time, and has produced the election in the past twenty years of three such outsiders (Alberto Fujimori, Alejandro Toledo and Ollanta Humala), all of who won because of their appeal in the most disadvantaged regions of Peru.\nAll these countries are mobilizing new participants in both politics and the economy, in many cases challenging established institutions and elites, and in some cases fostering efforts at \u201crefoundation.\u201d They tend, to differing degrees, to favor populist politicians who systematically weaken parties and other institutions, preferring to communicate directly with the public.\nImplications for North America and Europe\nFirst, the United States and Canada need to take more seriously the accelerating process of functional integration between them and their closest neighbors in Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean. New attitudes, approaches, policies and institutions are required to manage this increasingly complex but highly asymmetric interdependence.\nSecond, the countries of North America and Europe must adjust to Brazil\u2019s new strength and stature by developing global cooperation with Brazil on a wide variety of issues, by no means confined to the Western Hemisphere.\nThird the Andean countries present, especially to the United States but also to Europe, tough issues that include (in most cases) resource nationalism, narcotics trafficking, authoritarian governance and violations of human and labor rights, as well as international tensions arising from the ties some have been developing with global adversaries of the United States and Europe. For both the United States and Europe, a key aim in the Andean region, as also in Central America, is to help vulnerable countries strengthen their institutions in order to enable them to resist organized crime and drug trafficking organizations as well as resist the ALBA path. It is important for Washington and the members of the EU to distinguish carefully among the already aligned ALBA countries, looking in each case for common ground in order to confront shared problems. The thus-far promising beginnings by the governments of Juan Manuel Santos in Colombia, Ollanta Humala in Peru, and Mauricio Funes in El Salvador merit sympathetic attention and support, both from Europe and the United States. Both Washington and the EU countries should also seek case by case cooperation regarding shared concerns with Bolivia, Ecuador, Venezuela, Nicaragua\u2014and Cuba. How the international relations of all these countries unfold in the coming years will depend in each case not only on their internal evolution, but also on the willingness and capacity of international actors to relate to them individually and constructively.\nFourth, the United States, Canada and the European countries should think of Latin American and Caribbean nations not simply as sources of commodities, arenas for investment, export markets and suppliers of labor but as important potential partners in confronting the broad global agenda, from climate change to public health, nonproliferation to fighting organized crime. They should also focus on the synergistic energies that could be released by investing in Latin America\u2019s infrastructure and its educational and technological capacity.\nFifth, the United States, Canada, and the countries of Europe should invite all the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean, whatever their political orientation, to join in dealing with the challenges that affect them all, and on which the former have as much to learn as to teach: improving research, opening up debate and undertaking concerted efforts to curb the violence and corruption that the drug trade produces; improving citizen security by focusing on what can be learned from experiences throughout the world on the relationships between citizen security and economic prosperity, social equity, political participation, community-based policing, and judicial and penal reform; and exploring and implementing feasible ways to understand and respond effectively to climate change and its consequences.\nThese global issues are not unique to the Americas, but they are all challenges for which the diverse countries of Latin America and the Caribbean are highly relevant.",

        "title": "Dick Morris' Worst Predictions, After Fox News Ouster - Business Insider",
        "raw_content": "The 7 Worst Predictions Of Dick Morris \u2014 Who Was Just Let Go By Fox News\nDick Morris is out at Fox News, three months after his embarrassingly awful prediction that former Republican nominee Mitt Romney would win the 2012 election in a \"landslide.\"\nBut Morris' inaccuracy is a longstanding feature of his punditry that, until now, never befell his employment. Pundit Tracker rated him the Worst Pundit of 2012, with only six of his 30 prognostications coming true.\nHere are some of his worst predictions throughout the years:\n1. He made numerous inaccurate predictions ahead of President Barack Obama's victory in the 2008 election.\nAt various points during the campaign, he predicted that Hillary Clinton would win the Democratic primary; that Sarah Palin would be a decisive boost for John McCain's campaign; that Obama's conversation with \"Joe the Plumber\" could be the \"decisive point\" in the election; and that undecided voters could break for McCain, giving him the election victory.\n2. His 2008 electoral map.\nThat said, he also ended up predicting that Obama would win the election in a landslide. But he said that Arizona, Tennessee, and West Virginia \u2014 yes, West Virginia \u2014 leaned Obama, and he called South Carolina, Georgia, and Louisiana as toss-ups. McCain won all six states by huge margins.\nHere's a look at his 2008 map:\ntheelectoralmap.com\n3. In 2010, Morris said Republicans would pick up more than 80 seats in the House and regain the Senate majority in the midterm elections.\nHe said House pickups could \"go as high as 100.\" In fact, Republicans picked up only 63 seats. And they did not win a Senate majority.\n4. He thought Kirsten Gillibrand was \"beatable\" in 2008.\nIn a particularly damning display of delusion before the 2010 midterm elections, Morris said in September that Kirsten Gillibrand was still \"beatable\" in the New York Senate race. She won the race by 26 points.\n5. In August 2010, he predicted that Republicans would at some point \"shut down\" the government \u2014 and win with voters because of it.\nNo shutdown ever happened, and the one that almost did \u2014 the debt-ceiling debacle of the summer of 2011 \u2014 is still a loser for Republicans.\n6. In 2011, he predicted that Barack Obama might not run for re-election in 2012 because his poll numbers were so bad. Of course, he ended up running and winning re-election.\n7. Some of his 2012 Senate predictions were also terrible.\nHe said that Republican Senate candidates Tom Smith in Pennsylvania, Josh Mandel in Ohio, and George Allen in Virginia would help Republicans gain back control of the Senate. Smith lost by 9 points, while Allen and Mandel lost by 5 points each.\nMore: Political Media Dick Morris Fox News Sunday Fox News Channel",

        "raw_content": "'Desperately Seeking Susan' Turns 30 \u2014 5 People You Had No Idea Were In Madonna's Hit Movie\nAccording to my mom, my 80s child self was borderline obsessed with the Madonna movie Desperately Seeking Susan back in the day. I doubt I totally grasped the plot \u2014 a bored housewife (Rosanna Arquette) and a con artist named Susan (Madonna) switch places and clothes due to a case of mistaken identity \u2014 but I did go around trying to rock Susan's lace gloves, cool hair, and outfits. Another thing I didn't grasp was how many now famous people were in the movie. Desperately Seeking Susan was written by a rookie screenwriter named Leora Barish, was made for merely $5 million and the movie came out in 1985 as a total hit. The film also helped solidify Madonna as a superstar.\nI know, it's hard to think of a time before Madonna was, well, Madonna, but before her album Like A Virgin was a smash hit, she was actually mistaken for Cyndi Lauper. \"On the first day, when Madonna walked down the street, only a few people turned their heads,\" Desperately Seeking Susan director Susan Seidelman told Yahoo. \"By the last week of shooting, Like a Virgin had dropped and we needed security.\" The movie itself became a hit as well, grossing $30 million domestically.\nWe all know Madonna starred in the movie, but here are five other people you may have forgotten were in Desperately Seeking Susan.\nYou know now him as Gus Fring, the fried chicken-selling and meth slinging from Breaking Bad, but back in 1985, Esposito played a Street Vendor in Desperately Seeking Susan. Credited as nothing else but \"Street Vendor,\" Esposito appears about 20 minutes into the movie wearing a crop top and trying to sell Arquette's character Roberta on a hat and sunglasses, but she's too obsessed with following Susan. When Roberta fails to return the hat and sunglasses, Street Vendor yells at her chases her down to get his merch back.\nIt's a good thing for Roberta that he wasn't Gus Fring back then.\nBefore he was a regular in Coen Brothers movies, Turturro played Ray, the master of ceremonies at the Magic Club in Desperately Seeking Susan. Halfway through the movie, he awkwardly opens the show in a tux at the club and introduces a magic act called \"Vida, Queen of Night.\"\nBest known as Roseanne's sister Jackie in the ABC sitcom Roseanne, Metcalf first played Leslie Glass in Desperately Seeking Susan. Leslie is Roberta's nosy sister-in-law in Roberta's boring, non-Susan-filled life. These days, Metcalf has also had roles on The Big Bang Theory, Desperate Housewives, and currently The McCarthys on CBS.\nThis Emmy-winning actor had a small role in the movie as Guy From Brooklyn, a voice-only role in the Magic Club. That's it. Badalucco went onto play more small roles in movies, and then broke out when he won an Emmy for his role as Jimmy Berlutti on the ABC drama series The Practice in 1999. Badalucco has also guest starred on Netflix's Lilyhammer, HBO's Boardwalk Empire, and NBC's Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.\nToday, she plays the nearly mute Norma Romano on Netflix's hit series Orange is the New Black, but back in 1985, Golden played a singer in a band \u2014 or as she's credited, \"Band Singer.\"",

        "raw_content": "According to the American Cancer Society, over 30,000 cases of oral cancer are diagnosed each year, with over 7000 of these cases resulting in the death of the patient. Fortunately, oral cancer can be diagnosed with an annual cancer exam provided by Dr. Ashtari, Dr. Crohin, Dr. Lee or Dr. Young. If caught early, oral cancer can be effectively treated.\nThe oral cancer examination is completely painless. Drs. Ashtari, Crohin, Lee or Young will look for abnormalities and feel the face, glands, and neck for unusual bumps. Lasers may be used to highlight pathologic changes, and can \u201clook\u201d below the surface for spots and lesions invisible to the naked eye. Some of the signs that will be investigated are red patches and sores. Red patches on the floor of the mouth, or the front of the tongue, and bleeding sores which fail to heal easier, can be indicative of cancerous changes. Leukoplakia is a hardened white or gray, slightly raised lesion that can appear inside the mouth, and may be cancerous. Signs of these will be examined as well. Finally, soreness, lumps or the general thickening of tissue anywhere in the throat or mouth can signal pathologic signs, and will be examined.\nIf abnormalities, lesions, lumps, or leukoplakia are apparent, Drs. Ashtari, Crohin, Lee or Young will implement a treatment plan that is right for you. Treatment options vary according to the precise diagnosis, but may include: excision, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy.\nIt is also important to note that over 75% of oral cancers are linked with avoidable behaviors such as smoking, tobacco use, and excessive alcohol consumption. Drs. Ashtari, Crohin, Lee or Young can provide you with literature and options about quitting dangerous behaviors such as tobacco use.",

Writing in The Times, the art critic John Russell Taylor said, \u201cHalliday paints what obsesses him. His style is boldly calligraphic. Even his large-scale oil paintings depend largely on the definition of effective line while his smaller works in ink, gouache and pastel are built on a structure of amazingly fluid, spontaneous strokes of the pen; but they are in fact more than that. While the line may define the form, it is the colour which gives it form and life.\u201d\nHalliday has been a successful professional artist for more than 30 years, holding more than 100 exhibitions in the USA, Europe, India and the Middle East. His paintings are in the collections of the following London museums: Victoria & Albert Museum; the Theatre Museum, The Museum of London as well as several Oxford colleges and the Folger Shakespeare Library, Washington, USA. His paintings are also acquired by collectors worldwide.\nCamburn Fine Art will be exhibiting at Cambridge City Art Fair for the second time this year. Find them on Stands C7/C8 in the Large Hall.",

        "title": "Mortgage Professionals Canada Renews Calls to Tweak Stress Tests - Mortgage Rates & Mortgage Broker News in Canada",
        "raw_content": "Mortgage Professionals Canada has renewed calls for changes to the federal government\u2019s stress tests, arguing they pose serious risk to the housing market and overall economy.\nThe association\u2019s annual report on the state of the mortgage market, authored by its Chief Economist Will Dunning, followed up on previously published concerns over the federal government\u2019s mortgage stress tests.\nIt noted that housing markets across Canada slowed significantly in 2018 due to a combination of higher mortgage stress tests, higher interest rates and other policy changes that have \u201cconstrained\u201d home buying.\nThe report notes that resale activity fell an annualized 11% in 2018 and was down 15% from the all-time high in 2016.\n\u201cThe mortgage stress tests are raising the risks to house prices and the economy of Canada,\u201d Dunning wrote in the report, adding that falling house prices pose one of the greatest threats to a modern economy due to impaired consumer confidence.\nNot only that, he says regulations intended to remove risk from the housing market are actually having an opposite effect by driving a greater share of buyers to alternative lenders that are not federally regulated, and that often come with higher interest rates.\n\u201cThe expansion of alternative mortgage lending is certainly an added risk for the entire financial system,\u201d Dunning wrote. \u201cIf it adds to risks for the broader economy, then OSFI\u2019s B-20 Guideline indirectly adds to risks for the lenders that it regulates.\u201d\nIt is estimated the stress tests introduced in 2016 and 2018 will have affected upwards of 200,000 Canadian families by the October 2019 election, by way of reducing their home-buying power or preventing them from purchasing altogether.\nWhile the association\u2019s position isn\u2019t necessarily a complete removal of the stress tests, it does call for key changes, including:\nBasing any stress test on a relevant interest rate that takes into consideration income growth and principal repayment;\nNot subjecting mortgage renewals to stress tests, as long as the borrower is current on their payments;\nRelaxing rules to make it easier for mortgage borrowers with small, alternative lenders to transfer to more liquid and lower-cost lenders.\nAssociation Eyes 0.75% Stress Test\nIn an interview with the Toronto Star, Dunning said the issue isn\u2019t the stress test itself, but how it\u2019s being implemented.\n\u201cThere is nothing wrong with stress testing mortgages,\u201d he said.\nThe issue with the current stress tests is that they don\u2019t take into account the fact a borrower\u2019s income will likely rise about two percent annually over the period of the five-year loan.\n\u201cIf you think five years from now interest rates will be two points higher and incomes will be 10 points higher, you make the stress test 0.75% [above the contracted interest rate] to replicate what will happen in five years,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s a defensible change they could make.\u201d\nThe current stress test for uninsured mortgages (those with a 20%+ down payment) is the greater of the Bank of Canada\u2019s five-year benchmark rate (currently 5.34%) or the borrower\u2019s contract mortgage rate plus two percentage points.\n\u201cWe\u2019ve been asking for a reduction in the stress test for quite a while now because it does mathematically kind of accordion how much of a purchasing impact people will suffer, and certainly for those at the bottom of the property ladder,\u201d Mortgage Professionals Canada President and CEO Paul Taylor said during a BNN appearance. \u201cWe feel a 75-basis-point stress test makes much more sense.\u201d\nHousing as an Election Issue\nHousing is expected to be a key issue in the lead-up to this October\u2019s federal election.\nThe first hint of that came on Tuesday, when Finance Minister Bill Morneau said during a pre-budget event that the government plans to look into ways to make homebuying more affordable for first-time buyers.\nHe noted the government has already tried to increase the supply of affordable housing and control runaway home prices in the country\u2019s largest markets by introducing the stress tests.\n\u201cThe middle part \u2014 the big middle part \u2014 is the affordable housing for millennials,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s a real challenge and there\u2019s multiple things we\u2019re looking at in order to think about how we can help in that regard.\u201d\nmortgage professionals canadareportstress test\nPrevious ArticleNational Bank of Canada Returning to the Broker Channel\nNext ArticleMorneau: No Stress Test for Private Lenders\nJanuary 24, 2019 Don't Buy the Hype but Fix the Root Reply\nHasn\u2019t there been many reports in BC about the various loop-holes in blind-trusts coupled with unverified income from foreign investors looking for mortgages, and laundering of drug money through casinos that perhaps has inflated the value of homes? Why the general population goes against the wisdom of \u201cdon\u2019t over-commit yourself\u201d (aka don\u2019t sell your kids future for the now) is beyond me, but I see the folks in New Brunswick understand that sentiment \u2013 their mortgage to income ratios are rational.\nIf people want to go to the unregulated lenders, then educate people and bring those lenders into the fold. The legit lenders and banks aren\u2019t at risk because they are buying as much insurance as the gov will sell them and passing it directly on the the consumer.\nDon\u2019t say we need to water down the guidelines because they are too effective for honest people. Deal with the root cause problems and not the symptoms.\nJanuary 25, 2019 Carl Reply\nHere\u2019s an idea\u2026 lower your prices homeowners!\nAw sorry did your 200%-300% gain turn into a 150-250% gain? Well boo hoo!\nJanuary 25, 2019 Baha Alsharif Reply\nYou don\u2019t see people complaining about the stress test, people are happy with it, you hear the builders, realtors, mortgage brokers complaining\u2026hmm I wonder why they are so sad that they are not buying that 1M$ house on very low income\u2026not because they are getting less $\nThe stress test is the most successful policy yet\u2026it protects people from getting into debt they can\u2019t afford, remember that they will be stuck into mortgage for 25 years so if they can\u2019t afford 2 percent rate hike on the lowest rates in history they shouldn\u2019t be buying\nJanuary 27, 2019 Jean Yves Reply\nI agree with all three comments above. I beleive, It\u2019s irresponsible to go away with the current Stress Test, we are all professionals and we know the rates will be much higher in 5yrs, renewal time. Do the math, the payments can be a disaster for many. Do the math, if 2% higher, the paymnets will be nearly 20% higher, not good for many families. According to the last report from CMHC we are now in a balance market.\nFebruary 1, 2019 Jessica Reply\nThe stress test is more of a reality check on what buyers can ACTUALLY afford. They want to make sure that if and WHEN rates increase that people can afford what they have purchased.\nTo those who purchased before the stress test at the max they could afford, good luck to you\u2026 when should you EVER go out and buy something that is the MAX you qualify for? We had families in the first tax bracket purchasing half million dollar homes? Why? Because the bank (which is a business!) said you could afford it? No, they are going to increase rates and make lots of money of those who took out massive mortgages.",

        "raw_content": "Guidelines for Great Scans...\nMany at home all-in-one printers have great scanning capabilities, so you may be able to scan your own prints in order to send them to us for printing on canvas. However, not just any scan will do. It is important to make sure the settings are correct to ensure a quality digital copy of your original.\nDepending on how large the print is and how large you want to go you will need to adjust the resolution (DPI or PPI) setting to a higher number, the default is typically 200. It is ideal to scan at a resolution of between 800 and 2400 dpi. You will also want to select the area just around the image, so that the scanner surface is not included.\nSome brands of scanners include software to remove dust and scratches automatically, and this can work great but it can also create some strange effects on the digital file. You can choose to scan without that adjustment if you aren\u2019t happy with the results and select \"Minor Retouching\" on your order and we will be sure to touch up all those flaws.\nFinally, make sure to save as a high quality file. JPEG is fine but make sure it is the Maximum Quality level to avoid compression artifacts and pixilation. Our website can accept files up to 100MB in size in .JPG, .PNG and .PSD file formats.\nIf you don\u2019t have access to a scanner or you aren\u2019t confident in getting a high quality scan from your equipment feel free to mail it to us for complementary scanning and we will return the original with your finished canvas. We recommend securing the photo inside a plastic bag between two pieces of cardboard and mailing using a service that provides you with a tracking number to make sure it does not get lost in the mail. If the print is a unique, one of a kind photograph and you are uncomfortable mailing it, or if it is larger than a letter size sheet of paper you can take it to a local print shop and request a high resolution scan.\nWhen taking a portrait of your kids, focus on their unique details. Their freckles and eyes...and baby's toes and fingers make great wall art when you turn them black and white.",

        "raw_content": "What Ford and Volkswagen's Tie-Up on Trucks Means for the Ranger in America\nFord and VW formalize an alliance to build pickups and vans, but don\u2019t expect the Amarok to make it to the U.S.\nFord and Volkswagen have committed to co-develop vans and trucks that will see showrooms starting in 2022, both automakers announced Tuesday. What do Americans probably care about most? That the Ford Ranger will continue as a U.S. product, even as the new joint agreement sees collaboration on non-U.S. versions of the Ranger and the Ford Transit van.\nThe newly confirmed alliance does not involve any ownership stake. Instead, it finalizes an agreement the two automakers announced last June to collaborate on commercial vehicles. Ford will build an all-new Ranger that will also underpin the next-gen VW Amarok, which is likely to remain outside the U.S., and will continue to engineer the next-gen Transit full-size van that VW may rebrand into its future Transporter. VW said it will build a \"city van,\" which means Ford's next compact Transit Connect could become a rebranded VW Caddy.\n\"As someone in the industry for less than two years, it's my opinion you can't do this alone,\" said Ford CEO Jim Hackett.\nFord\u2019s Mike Levine said they will only collaborate on non-U.S. versions of the Ranger and Transit.\nJim Farley, president of Ford's global markets, said the next-gen Ranger and Amarok will be sold in South America, Europe, South Africa, and other non-U.S. markets. That means the next Ranger will continue to be developed separately\u2014one for the U.S. market and one for everywhere else. Ford truck spokesman Mike Levine said the automakers will only collaborate on non-U.S. versions of the Ranger and Transit. Ford's Transit Custom, which isn't sold here, will also appear as a VW in Europe under the terms of the new agreement.\nFord and VW each sell more than three dozen commercial models, totaling about 1.2 million vehicles per year. Neither company disclosed estimates on cost savings, only stating that each will realize \"improved annual pretax operating results, starting in 2023.\" Hackett said they intend to use existing manufacturing plants but did not rule out the possibility of closures.\nVW CEO Herbert Diess said that the alliance \"provides very competitive scale effects with Ford in this segment\" while \"maintaining independence and identity for both partners.\" Without elaborating, Diess said it was natural the two companies would share powertrains.\nExecutives are mulling whether to combine forces on autonomous and electric cars, along with their mobility divisions that are dumping billions into software and connected cars. On Monday, VW said it will pour $800 million into its U.S. plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and add 1000 jobs by 2022. The plant will build an electric SUV based on the I.D. Crozz concept starting in 2020 and serve as the \"first dedicated location in North America\" for future vehicles on the company's MEB chassis. More vehicles could be co-developed, but Ford and VW said they won't reveal more details for several more months.\nFord and VW to Partner on Vans and Trucks\nThe 2019 Ford Ranger\u2019s Price Starts Just over $25K",

        "raw_content": "Norma Swenke\nFirst post: Jan 12, 2017 Latest post: Mar 9, 2017\nI am Sheila Swenke, Norma\u2019s daughter-in-law, and I have set up this Caring Bridge site for Norma. I will be providing updates on Norma\u2019s condition on behalf of Norma, Jeff, Beth, and Nancy. It will be a place to keep all family and friends updated in one place. Please feel free to leave comments. We appreciate your love, prayers, and support. Thank you for visiting.\nNorma had been experiencing severe pain in her left hip area. She went to her family doctor on December 20th for the pain. He wasn\u2019t sure what it was, as there is nothing located internally in the area. He thought it might be an infection and prescribed antibiotics and ordered blood work. Norma asked him to do an entire and complete blood test. On December 23rd the doctor\u2019s office called her, stating that she needed to go to the emergency department at the hospital that day because several numbers of her blood work came back high, and they wanted her to have a scan. She actually had two scans done, and it was discovered that she had a mass in her pancreas. They told her that she needed a biopsy for the mass.\nThe biopsy was scheduled for the following Wednesday (December 28th). However, it was then canceled, because she needed to be off her Plavix (blood thinner medication because of her heart stint surgery in September) and her cardiologist would absolutely not allow that. The doctors needed to decide how to get a sample of the mass safely. On January 4th she went to have an X-ray on her hip (because she was still in severe pain and struggled to walk), and they found nothing that could be causing the hip pain. They determined that it must be the pancreatic mass pinching or pushing something. The doctor prescribed two different pain medications, but they do not help the pain. The only pills that help with her pain are Advil Liqui-Gels. The doctor did not want her to take those, in fear of a bleeding stomach ulcer. She has started walking with the aid of a walker. She was still waiting to hear about the biopsy plans and still in pain. She got word that the doctor will allow her to take one Advil Liqui-Gel daily, so she can get around six hours of pain relief.\nAfter a lot of discussions amongst doctors; it was decided that she could have the biopsy while on her Plavix if done in Indianapolis (where they would be better equipped if she started to bleed) the following week. She was waiting for a date to have it done, when she received word that the doctors in Indy did not feel comfortable after all doing the biopsy while she was taking blood thinner medication. They decided that she would need to have a GI scope performed and was searching for a doctor to do it. After a few more days, they found a doctor to do the GI scope. However, he was not in her insurance network, so they had to find another one, who the insurance did approve. The scope was finally scheduled forJanuary 11th at IU Hospital in Indianapolis.\nVisit Norma's Site\nTo interact with Norma\u2019s website, sign in or register today.",

        "raw_content": "Career In the Beer Industry\nThe last decade has been a tough time for pretty much every market sector that\u2019s not \u201cessential\u201d for day-to-day life and the brewing industry hasn\u2019t escaped this trend. With cash thinner on the ground people generally feeling more cautious than they felt even 10 or 15 years ago, consumer spending on things like beer has taken a downturn in the UK.\nAdd to this, the government\u2019s drive for us all to consume less alcohol and take better care of ourselves and it\u2019s clear that industries like the brewing industry simply can\u2019t afford to rest on its laurels. Even things like the weather can make it\u2019s presence felt as it directly impacts on how often we head down to the pub or go out into the garden to barbecue with a refreshing beer in hand. A warm summer means that flavoured beers and mixed lagers see a rise in sales, but a colder summer normally spells bad news.\nAccording to the vast majority of market reports, in volume terms the overall spend in the UK beer sector has taken a real hit, but a similar trend seems to be evolving in this sector as in many others. And that trend is that the consumer appears to be moving from volume to quality. There is no getting away from the fact that the big producers are still winning the lion\u2019s share of spending on beer, but the smaller, niche beer producers are starting to make their presence felt as discerning consumers are seeking something different and aren\u2019t frightened to pay for the privilege of being ahead of trend.\nBut when it comes to careers in the brewing industry, what does all this mean? It certainly means that the recruitment drive in the bigger companies has slowed down and rationalization has resulted in certain positions being removed and shared, as is the case in many other sectors.\nThe production of beer is very different in the larger companies than the small ones. When it comes to brewing techniques and career opportunities, in the companies that take up the majority of the market share, you are likely to operate only a small part of the overall process. In the smaller breweries however, you may well be expected to participate in and be exposed to a greater number of parts of the overall production process.\nIn more junior production roles, it may be possible to secure a position without a brewing qualification, but some experience and a whole lot of drive will help. That said, there is no doubt that having a brewing qualification at anything from technical level to head level will help you stand out from the crowd. Other careers in this part of the brewing process include the likes of lab work, quality assurance and analysis, so microbiologists and chemists with above average qualifications stand a good chance of being noticed.\nProcessing and packaging is an essential part of the marketing mix in the brewing industry because not only does it affect profitability, it could also be the thing that gets your product noticed or causes it to be a major flop. Most of the big brewing companies have their own processing and packaging facilities, but some of the smaller breweries contract out this part of their overall production. In today\u2019s cash-strapped climate the big players are constantly on the lookout to maximise the up time of their facilities and the small players need to sniff out the best sub-contracting deal they can get.\nIn this part of the brewing process there is a requirement for a whole range of engineering related staff, from highly qualified to \u2018on the job experienced\u2019 unqualified.\nOnce again and not surprisingly, the range of management positions in any of the bigger brewing companies is significantly greater than in any small operation. General management skills and experience is normally the order of the day in the small, craft brewing companies, whereas, operations management, sales management, production management and marketing management opportunities exist in the bigger player\u2019s environments.\nSales and marketing in the brewing industry is very much a game of two halves whereby the \u201cbig players\u201d have significant and structured, normally centralised marketing functions that are backed up by relatively controlled sales teams. The smaller, craft brewers on the other hand are likely to have opportunities for more of an all-round marketing or sales individual who is personally responsible for a broader range of activities.\nIn summary, like many other industries, the careers available in the brewing industry depend to a large extent on market demand and the size of the company you want to target. If you\u2019re keen to specialise and have the opportunity for upward progression, there\u2019s no getting away from the fact that the big companies still have exciting openings. However, if you\u2019re more of an all-rounder who\u2019s happy to have the potential to become a big fish in a small pond, then the smaller craft brewing companies are likely to be on your horizon.",

It\u2019s the final performance model to roll out for this generation of the legendary SUV. The German automaker is expected to introduce a new generation next year for the SUV.\nThis special edition, aptly dubbed the G65 Final Edition, is the last to roll off the Affalterbach line and comprises cosmetic upgrades both on the inside and outside. It\u2019s the standard G-Class AMG fare but now the vehicle has been painted in gloss black. The massive AMG spec 21-inch wheels have been painted in a special shade of brown and sit in front of the silver coloured AMG spec brake callipers.\nInside, you get all the luxuries associated with the Mercedes brand, but now with carbon fibre inserts and Nappa leather. It goes without saying, that you get climate control, infotainment with floating display and a whole load of airbags.\nPowering this beast, of course, is a 6.0-litre V12 producing 630bhp and a mammoth 1000Nm of torque! Power goes to all the four wheels via a 7G-tronic speed shift transmission and 4MATIC AWD system. All this power gets you a 0-100kmph time of 5.3 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 230kmph, which is a lot when you look at the proportions of this car.\nIt\u2019s been priced at 310,233 Euros or Rs 2.3 crores when you convert it, making this a legendary but a rather expensive swansong for this SUV.\nTags:Mercedes-Benz,Mercedes-Benz G-Class,G-Class",

        "raw_content": "Thirtieth Sunday of Ordinary Time\nAlmighty ever-living God, increase our faith, hope and charity, and make us love what you command, so that we may merit what you promise. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.\nBeef Brisket with Fall Vegetables\nCold-Oven Rum Pound Cake\nCreamy Baked Corn\nPrayer for Charity\nChrist the King Is Lord of the World and History | Pope John Paul II\nOld Calendar: Feast of Christ the King\nWhen the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together, and one of them, a scholar of the law tested him by asking, \"Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?\" He said to him, \"You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments\" (Mt 22:34-40).\nThe first reading is taken from the Book of Exodus 22:20-26. These verses cover the Israelites' duties toward strangers (non-Israelites), widows and orphans and the poor in general. They are a practical application of the law of charity in their dealings with their neighbors.\nThe second reading is from the first Letter of St. Paul to the Thessalonians 1:5c-10. St. Paul continues to praise the Thessalonians, not only for accepting the faith in difficult circumstances, but for the wonderful example their Christian life had already given to most of Greece.\nThe Gospel is from Matthew 22:34-40. The Pharisees may not have had evil intentions when asking Christ the question as to the greatest commandment. But they have done us a good service by getting this crystal clear answer from him. In this answer he tells us that the man who loves God and neighbor fulfills all his obligations, and carries out all the duties that God's self-revelation in \"the law and the prophets\" imposes on him. God revealed himself to us in the Old Testament as our Creator and divine benefactor. He had no need of us, since he is infinitely perfect in himself, but out of his infinite goodness he wished to share his eternal kingdom of happiness with mankind and so he created us. That we should love such a benefactor and be grateful to him is not asking much of us; such love should surely be the spontaneous reaction of a rational being, and yet there were and there are many who fail to acknowledge any such obligation.\nNo Christian, worthy of the name, can ever be among such thoughtless and thankless people. We have greater proofs of God's love for us than \"the law and the prophets\" gave to the Israelites. We have the added proofs of God's infinite interest in us brought to us by the Incarnation. We have been raised to the sublime status of adopted sons of God.\nWhere Christians can, and too often do fail, is in their true love of neighbor. Yet Christ says that this commandment is like the first. Love of neighbor is an essential part of our obligations toward God. If we fail in this we fail in our love for God, for we refuse to carry out this sacred duty. If we do not recognize our neighbor as our brother, we do not recognize God as our Father and we do not love him. As St. John puts it: \"Anyone who says 'I love God' and hates (does not love) his neighbor is a liar\" (1 Jn.3: 20).\nLet each one of us ask himself today how seriously he takes this law of fraternal charity and how faithfully he carries it out. Not all of us may be able to give material help to a neighbor in need but the poorest of us can spare a kindly word, an encouraging word, for a neighbor weighed down with cares and troubles. All of us can pray for a neighbor who needs spiritual and temporal help. Most of us can deny ourselves some unnecessary luxuries in order to give a needed loaf of bread to a hungry fellowman, while those who have an abundance of this world's goods need not look far afield to find cases and causes worthy of their Christian charity.\nRemember that whatever spiritual or material help is given out of true charity to a neighbor in need, is given to God, and whatever is given to God is soundly invested in heaven, and heaven pays handsome dividends.\n-Excerpted from The Sunday Readings by Fr. Kevin O'Sullivan, O.F.M.\nCommentary for the Readings in the Extraordinary Form:\n\"He shall rule. . .unto the ends of the earth. . .All kings. . .shall adore Him, all nations shall serve Him\"(Gradual).\nThe \"modern\" man acts as \"monarch of all he surveys\" in the study of science, the enjoyment of pleasure, the worship of the State.\nYet we are not the creators of our resources but only the beneficiaries of the Creator. This Feast reaffirms that the wounds in the families of nations are caused by sin, namely, the abuse of these borrowed gifts; that all things (must be) restored in (Christ)\" (Prayer).\nJesus alone has the right, well earned, as the Redeeming Lamb Who was slain (Introit), to be King over all the earth (Gradual); to be King of Truth in our minds (Gospel); to be King of our wills under the standard of His Law (Post-Communion); to be King of Love in our hearts (Epistle).\nThe Lord will bless His people with peace (Communion verse) only when they accept Him as King.",

        "raw_content": "What You Don\u2019t Know Will Hurt You: Reining in Prosecutorial Overreach with Meaningful Mens Rea Requirements\nBy Trevor Burrus and Frank Garrison\nJames Madison presciently warned \u201cit will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood.\u201d Sadly, however, Madison\u2019s admonishment has fallen on deaf ears when it comes to modern statutes and regulations\u2014which in some cases are so numerous and complex that they cannot be deciphered by trained attorneys, much less the general public.\nWhat\u2019s worse, federal prosecutors have seized the opportunity to use these vague statutes, and they now have the ability to prosecute almost anyone for anything. One protection against these incoherent laws and regulations, however, is that, in most criminal cases, the prosecution must prove a defendant had a certain degree of criminal intent (mens rea) to prove a violation. But in order for this protection to be effective, the courts must properly instruct the jury on the level of intent required by the statute.\nIn United States v. Clay, the district court\u2014as well as a panel of judges on the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals\u2014failed in this respect. In 2002, the Florida legislature enacted the \u201c80/20 Statute,\u201d which requires certain medical providers receiving state Medicaid funds to spend 80 percent of such funds towards \u201cthe provision of behavioral health care services\u201d or refund the difference to Florida\u2019s Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA). The statute, however, was ambiguous as to how the expenditures were to be calculated and did not set out any certain guidelines. Despite this ambiguity, in 2011, federal prosecutors indicted Mr. Clay and others for healthcare fraud and making false statements relating to not properly calculating and reporting their expenditures to the AHCA. The defendants were prosecuted under a federal fraud statute, which requires the government to prove that the defendants \u201cknew\u201d the reports were false. The judge, however, instructed the jury that it could convict if the defendants knew either that the submissions were \u201cuntrue\u201d or if they acted \u201cwith deliberate indifference as to the truth,\u201d which is certainly not the same as the \u201cknowledge\u201d required by the statute. The district court allowed this jury instruction despite a 2011 Supreme Court case that held \u201cdeliberate indifference\u201d cannot substitute for a statutory knowledge requirement, and a three-judge panel in the Eleventh Circuit upheld the district court\u2019s instruction.\nThe Cato Institute has joined with the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, the Washington Legal Foundation, the Reason Foundation and twelve criminal and business law professors in requesting the full Eleventh Circuit to rehear the case and vacate the panel\u2019s opinion. The district court\u2019s jury instruction was a clear departure from Supreme Court precedent, and, if upheld, would weaken one of the fundamental checks on vague statutes and over-zealous prosecutors\u2014the requirement that the government prove someone knows they are committing a crime.\novercriminalization, mens rea, criminal law",

        "raw_content": "The Cat\u2019s biggest feline fan\nSeptember 28, 2015 /1 Comment/in Where are They Now /by Amanda Goode\nOur story with Cat Protection Victoria began in 2003 when Wes adopted a gorgeous all white kitten called Casper. Casper lived a long, happy and eventful life with us until it was time for him to cross the Rainbow Bridge. He travelled to Queensland and back by both plane and car and ruled every single neighbourhood that we lived in. He was very bossy and fearless and he was our best mate, always looking after us through thick and thin. He was also a fierce supporter of the Geelong Cats, of course.\nAfter we had to say good bye to Casper we quickly realised that our house was very empty without a cat to keep us in line so we decided to adopt from CPS again. Zeus, who used to be called Tyler (id#394), was around 2.5 years old when we adopted him from CPS in 2013. He was very shy at first, but he soon settled in with us and he is now the sweetest and cuddliest cat that I\u2019ve ever met. He\u2019s very chatty and meows and chirps all day when he isn\u2019t sleeping on a lap or on one of his favourite sleeping spots. He barracks for the Cats as well \ud83d\ude42\nThank you to all of the wonderful people at CPS for helping so many cats to find their forever homes, and especially for helping us to adopt our 2 wonderful cats.\nJade and Wes\nhttps://www.catprotection.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/11993283_1132481213446404_5540193785713242531_n.jpg 693 612 Amanda Goode https://www.catprotection.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/professional-logos-blue-292x300.jpg Amanda Goode2015-09-28 14:29:132015-09-28 14:29:13The Cat's biggest feline fan\nWHAT\u2019S ON: CPS at Brimbank Animal Expo\nCat Protection Society of Victoria is excited to be a part of the 2015 Brimbank Animal Expo.\nhttps://www.catprotection.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Brimbank-Flyerf1.jpg 597 679 Amanda Goode https://www.catprotection.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/professional-logos-blue-292x300.jpg Amanda Goode2015-09-28 13:17:472015-09-28 13:38:29WHAT'S ON: CPS at Brimbank Animal Expo\nConcord Student\u2019s FUNdraiser\nWe were thrilled to receive a visit from the kids at Concord School last week.\nThe school children independently raised funds for the Cat Protection Society by selling homemade cat-shaped chocolates. With the funds they arranged four large hampers to present to the cats, and enclosed this beautiful letter;\nAs part of our Duke of Edinburgh Award \u2013 Community Service Project our class decided to raise money for your amazing cause. We chose to make chocolate truffles in the shape of cats and called the event \u2018ChoCAT\u2019late FUN!\u2019. We then sold these to other students at the school.\nWe ended up making 188 chocolate truffles and raising $320.\nWe used our literacy and numeracy skills to travel to the shops to buy food and items we thought the cats would enjoy. We had heaps of fun and really enjoyed giving back to our community.\nFrom the Year 9/10 students of SMD at Concord School\u201d\nWe\u2019d like to thank the students for thinking of the cats, and are deeply appreciative of their efforts and kindness.\npatting Kai\nKai, getting more attention\nhttps://www.catprotection.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/IMG_4860.jpg 3456 5184 Amanda Goode https://www.catprotection.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/professional-logos-blue-292x300.jpg Amanda Goode2015-09-21 11:54:372015-09-25 15:48:59Concord Student's FUNdraiser\nThankyou Masters\nWe\u2019re pretty stoked about our donated goods from MASTERS at NORTHLANDS; hose heads, shelving units, a vacuum cleaner, tubs\u2026 a shelter\u2019s dream!\nThankyou for helping us help the cats.\nVisit the Masters Home Improvement Website by clicking here\nor go their facebook here\nhttps://www.catprotection.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/mastersss.jpg 1516 1700 Amanda Goode https://www.catprotection.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/professional-logos-blue-292x300.jpg Amanda Goode2015-09-11 12:04:162015-11-20 11:26:41Thankyou Masters\nMr Biscuit and Pudding\nA little \u201cWhere are they now?\u201d note for Cat Protection Society.\nMr Biscuit was adopted on March 12, 2008 from you.\u00c2 Just under two weeks ago, on 27 August, we came to visit again and this time we met \u201cHector\u201d.\u00c2 We have renamed him Pudding because he is so sweet (and perhaps we have a thing for naming our cats after food).\u00c2 In the attached photo, Mr Biscuit is the cream tabby and Pudding is the traditional tabby and we love them both to bits.\nI will get better pictures of them together but they have been playing so much that it is hard to capture them relaxing \u2026 Mr Biscuit is now 8 years old but being encouraged by Pudding to behave like a teenager!\nSandi & David\nhttps://www.catprotection.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/mr-biscuit.jpg 640 480 Amanda Goode https://www.catprotection.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/professional-logos-blue-292x300.jpg Amanda Goode2015-09-09 13:12:382015-09-09 13:12:38Mr Biscuit and Pudding\nPurrs \u2018N\u2019 Paws August 2015\nhttps://www.catprotection.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/purrspaws2.jpg 1516 1700 Amanda Goode https://www.catprotection.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/professional-logos-blue-292x300.jpg Amanda Goode2015-09-02 14:35:452015-11-20 10:59:49Purrs 'N' Paws August 2015\nMaddy\u2019s new Housemate\nSeptember 2, 2015 /1 Comment/in Where are They Now /by Amanda Goode\nJust wanted to let you know that Jabberwockie (now named Gemma, Gem for short) is settling into my household brilliantly.

Premier John Horgan listens as a large First Nations carving of a mask is displayed during a ceremony on the traditional territory of the Semiahmoo First Nation, at the Douglas-Peace Arch border crossing on Sept. 21, 2018. (Darryl Dyck/Canadian Press)\nAll B.C. First Nations will receive a share of provincial gaming revenues, Premier John Horgan announced Thursday as he opened the annual gathering between B.C.'s cabinet and First Nations leaders.\n\"This is a promise made over 20 years ago that has not yet been fulfilled until now,\" Horgan told the gathering in Vancouver.\"\nHorgan and the First Nations Leadership Council also announced they'll be working together on new legislation to implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, with introduction of the law planned for sometime in 2019.\nThe revenue-sharing arrangement will be a key part of the February 2019 provincial budget, Horgan said, but final details were still being worked out so he could not release exact figures.\n\"It will be big,\" the premier said. \"Somewhere between one and a whole bunch.\"\nUNDRIP also acknowledged\nThe premier said the annual funding will be used in First Nations communities for social services, education, housing, infrastructure, health and well-being and economic development.\nBoth announcements are important steps forward to advance true and lasting reconciliation, Horgan said.\n\"As we develop reconciliation, as we develop legislation around (the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples) that will mean all laws in British Columbia will have a lens of how will it affect our First peoples, how will it affect those who have been here for millennium.\"\nThe declaration was adopted by the United Nations in 2007 as an international instrument that enshrined minimum standards for the survival, dignity and well-being of Indigenous Peoples around the world.\nReaction from B.C. First Nations\nRegional Chief Terry Teegee of the B.C. Assembly of First Nations said the announcements are \"historic and progressive action\" to address issues related to jurisdiction and gaming revenue.\nCheryl Casimer of the First Nations Summit political executive said the announcements were critical pieces toward reconciliation.\n\"B.C. First Nations and the government have finally landed on a renewed vision and plan for reconciling Aboriginal title and rights, with asserted Crown title and jurisdiction,\" Casimer said.\nRegional Chief Terry Teegee of the B.C. Assembly of First Nations said the announcements are '0historic and progressive action.' (Courtesy of Terry Teegee)\nThe plan acknowledges inherent rights of self-determination, as well as rights to land, resources and territories, she said, adding both sides must work together based on a new set of principles and values rather than the old colonial standard of denial.\nFirst Nations Summit member Robert Phillips said they've been fighting for gaming revenue for decades, and he commended the decision to share the profits.\n\"If we have prosperous First Nations, that will mean extra revenues ... which will mean jobs, which will mean revenue for buying vehicles, houses, all of those things. We have to remember that.\"\nNo sign of marauding otter as surviving koi wait to return to Sun Yat-Sen garden\nVancouver Canucks players, coach say hazing becoming a thing of the past\nB.C. officer sounds alarm over pot edibles after police bust online vendor",

A school bus driver, a mountain guide, a teacher, a hard-living old DJ, a bunch of nurses, an anthropologist have formed their own community. They are strangers turned neighbours \u2014 prepared to live together and look after each other until the end of their days. It's called co-housing.\nThe entrance to the common area at Harbourside. (Margaret Critchlow)\nYou hear it all the time, a group of women, sometimes men, in their fifties or sixties, saying, \"I think we should all buy a place and live together when we get old.\" People nod in agreement and they bask in the lovely dream.\nThe dream rarely comes true. But in Sooke BC, population 11,000 - 45 minutes west of Victoria, it did.\nIt started with a meeting in 2010. Five years and twelve million dollars later, 44 people, from their late 40s to their 90s, moved into Harbourside Seniors Co-housing last winter.\nAmong them, a retired school bus driver, a mountain guide, a teacher, a hard-living old American DJ, a bunch of nurses, a biochemist-turned-potter, and \u2014 vital to any social experiment \u2014 an anthropologist.\nFive years ago they didn't know each other. Now, they are a tribe - neighbours prepared to live together and look after each other, with any luck, till the end of their days.\nKarin Wells spent a weekend with them, as decisions were made and the buildings went up.\nHer documentary is called \"My Last Big Adventure,\" and it originally aired on the Sunday Edition last November, as the Harboursiders-to-be were getting ready to move in.\nKarin Wells went back to Harbourside a few weeks ago.\nEveryone moved in over the winter, the wrinkles were ironed out and Karin reports, the view remained magnificent.

Here's the vineyard in prophecy in Isa. 5.\nBefore services we were talking about the high prices of rental. Two small rooms in Hollister are $1200. A house is between $2800-$3100 a month. Think how much you have to make just to pay for the rent.\nOn top of that, you have nearly everyone in Hollister commuting to San Jose or Santa Clara. Then you have the cost of the car, cost of the gas, cost of the insurance, cost of maintenance, altogether. That's before you eat.\nIt's going to cost you how much to eat? If you're lucky and single, and you buy a lot of things pretty well you can fix or already prepared, you might get by at $120 a week. I suppose if you didn't have enough money, you get your Burger King two whoppers for $6. Think about the expense of all of that, which means that in order to exist in a 2-room rental in a house, and commute where you go to work, you have to earn a minimum of $5,000 a month.\nThen we were talking about how in New York City, 10-12 million people are all stacked up together. It works really good as long as everything works. But long ago they ran out of places to put the waste and the garbage. Stop and think how much you produce yourself every week. Then times that by 12-million plus other things.\nIn New York City garbage men make between $105,000-$120,000/yr. It's imperative to get the garbage out every week. I want you to think about how nice everything works as long as it's smooth.\nI'm sitting here thinking about the garbage that they have to ship out, the waste, not just the garbage. There are two things they ship out of New York, no place to put it: the garbage and the waste. They can't handle everything through their sewer processing plants, so they have to send the garbage and the waste on trains. One route of a train takes it all the way down to Alabama. I want you to think about how delicate all of that is, to say nothing about electricity, water and gas.\nIf you make $120,000 in New York City, you just barely get by. If you want to buy an apartment, forget it. If you get a real cheap flat, you might be able to get it for\u2014bad neighborhood and everything\u2014$125,000. In the neighborhood of Trump Tower, tens of millions. What do you have? You have a fantastic view, which is great, as long as everything works!\nJonathan is an architect and knows that everything has to be to code in order for it to work and survive. What happens if it's not? Remember they had a fire in Trump Tower this week; think about how you get the water up 31 stories!\nTake that concept and multiply it by all of the large countries with large cities in the world. Think how vulnerable they are, yet they think they've got it made. It's a catastrophe in New York when the garbage men go on strike. You will pay them their increase, because if you don't, within a couple of days the rats come up out of the sewer\u2014more rats than people\u2014get on the street for all the goodies.\nI just did some Church at Home (churchathome.org) where an atheist just rails against the God of the Old Testament. Richard Dawkins, a famous atheist, hates the Old Testament. What is the story of the Old Testament over and over again?\nGod coming to the people that He has made\nGod wanting to bless them if they choose His way\nGod warning them that if they go their own way automatic things are going to happen\nGod doesn't have to do it, because He's already set the laws in motion, so that when the transgressions happen, the penalties come automatically.\nGod doesn't have to sit back and say, 'I'll do that because you did this.' No, He said, 'Here are My laws and commandments. If you love Me, keep My laws and commandments and I will bless you.' We want Your blessings!\nI'll bless you in the country\nI'll bless you in your cities\nI'll bless you in your basket\nI'll bless you in your store\nI'll bless you in everything that you do\nI'll set you on high above the nations of the world\nYou will be rich and they will be poor if you diligently seek to keep My commandments and love Me.'\nYou would think that would be an automatic thing for people to really want to choose. Furthermore, God says, 'If you love Me, I'll love you. You won't have to worry about:\nEveryone wants that, but to do what God says, no.\nLet's see what God says about His vineyard, which is Israel. The Church is also a vineyard. Jesus said, 'I am the vine, you are the branches. You dwell in Me and I in you. Just as the branch cannot produce fruit by itself, neither can you if you're not in Me.'\nGod propositions are always the same. In the Old Testament they are the propositions of physical blessings or physical cursings. It's really interesting how the mindset of people becomes when they are entrapped in sin and refuse to repent.\nThe other night I was watching I Almost Got Away With It. I watch that every once in a while. But what is so profound is the mindset. They think that continuing to break God's laws\u2014they don't put it that way\u2014they're going to get away with it. They lie, cheat, steal and rob, but they always get caught, because they always make a mistake.\nLet's look at what God wanted to give Israel as the vineyard and then think about what God wants to give us spiritually.\nIsaiah 5:1: \"Now, I will sing to my Beloved a song of my Beloved concerning His vineyard. My Beloved has a vineyard in a very fruitful hill. And He dug it up, and cleared it of stones, and planted it with choice vines\u2026 [that sounds just like the parable] \u2026 and built a tower in its midst, and hewed out a wine vat in it; and He looked for it to produce grapes. But it produced worthless fruits\" (vs 1-2).\nThis is quite a parable! As we go through here, let's apply this in several different ways, because this is layered. It can be applied to us individually! How do we do what God wants and respond to Him? Jesus said, 'If you remain in Me, you will produce much fruit and My Father will even prune you so you can produce more fruit.'\n\"\u2026But it produced worthless fruits.\" Why? Because you cannot produce righteousness with sin! Think on that!\nVerse 3: \"And now, O people of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, I ask you to judge between Me and My vineyard .\u2026 [gave the best land, best plants, best of everything] \u2026What more could have been done to My vineyard that I have not done in it? Who knows?.\u2026 [God always asks for a witness. Who's going to tell us?] \u2026I looked for it to yield grapes, but it yielded wild grapes\" (vs 3-4)\u2014symbolic of adding to the laws and commandments of God and changing the Word of God.\nAs we go through, I want you to think about the modern society. Think about the upcoming generation that can't even spell.\nVerse 5: \"And now I will tell you what I will do to My vineyard.\u2026 [notice how God gives judgments and warnings] \u2026I will take away its hedge, and it shall be consumed; and break down its wall, and it shall be trampled down.\"\nThink of this with the destruction of Jerusalem. Is that not exactly what happened? Did not God give the Jews 20 years. Actually the warning of Jeremiah was for 40 years. But God gave them 20 years to change, and there was one short revival under Josiah.\nVerse 6: \"'I will lay it waste; it shall not be pruned nor dug; but briers and thorns shall come up. And I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.' For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah His pleasant plant; and He looked for justice, but behold, bloodshed; for righteousness, but behold, a cry of distress!\" (vs 6-7).\nDoes that not sound like the nations of Israel today? I was watching on National Geographic the other night about Montana. The wild one they have equal justice by the mouth of a beast. This one here was in Montana, a wonderful place, broad spaces.\nYou know what they have up there? A meth epidemic! The average length of time of a heavy meth user is 5-7 years. They're always trying to figure out how to get around the law, because the police are always watching.\nHow do they get the meth to their customer and not get caught?\nHow many have been arrested?\nThis one dealer\u2014and they always talk to a dealer. I saw how they do it in San Francisco; that's a terrible place. If you want to know the ultimate of liberalism and lawlessness: San Francisco and Los Angeles. Terrible!\nBut here's beautiful Montana, wide, wonderful places, no smog, free air. So, here's a meth dealer. They camouflage his face and voice and everything. He's telling how he made some money with the meth. He buys a gram of meth for $50 and sells it for $150. How does he get it to his customers without getting caught and without his customers being arrested? He uses the United States Postal Service! Can you imagine that?\nHe says you don't put it in a package. You don't send it priority. You put it like in a Get Well card and put in your meth right in there. You don't make it conspicuous and they get their meth. Then he gets $150 and so makes $100. I thought, isn't that the way that the criminal mind is, never seeing the wrong that they do? and always trying to figure a way around the law? Sooner or later they get caught or they overdose and die.\nHere we have the vineyard, v 7: \"For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah His pleasant plant; and He looked for justice, but behold, bloodshed; for righteousness, but behold, a cry of distress!\"\nVerse 8: \"Woe to those who join house to house, that lay field to field, until there is no place left, and you are made to dwell alone in the midst of the land!\" Where there's no place left, then you build up, up, up.\nVerse 9: \"The LORD of hosts swore in my ears, 'Truly, many houses shall be deserted, even great and fair, without inhabitant.'\"\nThink about all of the suburbs, around all of the cities. All the nice streets, mailboxes, garbage collection, water coming underground, natural gas coming in, electricity and you have air conditioning. I'm thinking about the area in Phoenix, Arizona. They have hundreds of thousands of houses and people living in them in the middle of the desert where in the summertime it gets to be 119-degrees. Think about how vulnerable they are. Calamity could come in just two days. Cut off electricity for two days, block all the major highways for two days. What's going to happen? They're going to run out of water, run out of food! Then what's going to happen?\nThen the basest of carnal nature will take over, and there will be roaming gangs breaking into houses, stealing, killing, looting. If you have any water stored, it belongs to them. Any food you have there, that's theirs. How are you going to stop it? The police can't do anything. That's why God says woe to woe if you lay houses to houses. Think about what we've done. That's everywhere in the world.\nLook at some of these cities, like in India and South America. I remember seeing a program where down in Brazil there's this part of the city that's built up on a hill. No permits, no regular things put in, just all ad hoc. The one who was showing it to the National Geographic, showed him this huge maze of wires for television, absolutely an uncontrollable mess.\nThey were all stealing the television signals. Most of them were dealing in crime. This is just one little city. I thought to myself: WOW!\nWe're going to cover quite a few woes here, because that's the way the world is. Verse 11: \"Woe to those who rise up early in the morning to go after strong drink; who continue late into the night while wine inflames them!\" How long do they live?\nRandy just did a Church at Home (churchathome.org) for us that showed how many of the rock stars and musicians die at an early age from drugs, drinking and illicit sex. They're the ones that are the models for the teenagers growing up. Amazing thing!\nVerse 12: \"And the lyre, and the harp, the drum and pipe, and wine, are at their feasts\u2026 [you could say rock concerts, that's what they are] \u2026but they do not regard the work of the LORD\u2026 [God? Who is He?] \u2026Yea, they do not see the work of His hands.\" Just happened, came from a tree, no a rock, no single cell.\nVerse 13: \"Therefore, My people are gone into exile because they have no knowledge\u2026\"\nDid that happen to the Jews?\nDid it happen to Israel?\nlook what's happened in the Middle East\nlook at all those countries\nWhat would it be like when it hits here?\n\"\u2026and their honorable men are famished, and their multitude is dried up with thirst. Therefore, the grave has enlarged its appetite, and opened its mouth without limit; and down goes her glory and multitude and brawlers, and he who rejoices in her, shall go down into it. And man is bowed down, and men are brought low, and the eyes of the lofty are humbled\" (vs 13-15).\nHow much does it take? Verse 16: \"But the LORD of hosts is exalted in judgment, and God, the Holy One, is sanctified in righteousness. Then shall the lambs feed in their own pasture, and the waste places of the fat ones shall strangers eat\" (vs 16-17).\nLook at the woes\u2014one after another. What does it say in Matt. 24? Because lawlessness shall be multiplied, the love of many shall grow cold! That describes this world.\nThe thing is, we can't control the world into which we are born. The only thing we can control is our relationship with God. So, the way that we maintain that relationship is the most important thing in the light of these things that are coming. Look at how quickly the strike against Syria took place. Death, destruction and misery in the middle of the desert. What a place!\nVerse 18: \"Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin with cart ropes; who say, 'Let Him hurry and hasten His work, so that we may see it; and let the purpose of the Holy One of Israel draw near and come, so that we may know!'\" (vs 18-19).\nThey really don't want that. They want their sins with the blessings of God. They don't want to repent. If they repent, it's not enough to really do what's necessary to cause God to lift His hand. They don't want to know the purpose of God.\nLet me summarize it for you; I've done this before recently, so I'll make it real quick: Have every little city and village, in a certain area, everybody keep the Ten Commandments of God. That would bring what they would want. But they're unwilling to do it. So, here's what happens and this is what's happening right now more and more.\nVerse 20: \"Woe to those who call evil good\u2026\" Think of all the government programs that have been given.\nThe other day I went into Knob Hill and here's this guy out there petitioning. He had about five things you sign up for that can go on the ballot, each one of them a benefit from the government to help the people, supposedly, that need help. But how many programs do we have of those? How bad are they? You take in Medicare and Medicaid, and all of this, then all of the corruption that's involved in that. That's to help the people because of sickness. Likewise, look with the opioid thing. They say that 150 people die every day of opioid overdose in America. That's amazing!\nThe government can't go in there and tell the manufactures to shut it down, and arrest the pharmacists and get rid of them who over prescribe and get those who sell it. I don't know what you're going to do with them, there are so many. You're probably going to have to arrest them, get the record and you're probably going to have to let them go. There's no place to put them because the jails are full. Isn't that something?\nVerse 20: \"Woe to those who call evil good and good evil; who put darkness for light and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!\"\nGuess who does that the slickest way possible? All the religionists! I'm getting tired of watching TBN, because every single one of them is a liar, the best of them. Even if you brought out, 'Hey guys, do you have the Bible?' Yeah. 'You believe the Bible?' Yeah! 'What about the fourth commandment that says remember the seventh day to keep it Holy?' Forget that! They wouldn't do that.\nI have a book I just got from England, published in the 1700s. Here was this Sunday-keeping preacher who read about the Sabbath, stood up in the pulpit, and said, 'We're going to have services now every Sabbath.' All hell broke loose against him, because that was against the orthodoxy of the Church of England. Who can do what is right?\nIn bringing this up, think about the liberty and blessing that we have that we can still do the things that are right. California is trying to pass a law that if you say anything against any other sexual orientation, publish a book, they can confiscate it. Think where it's coming.\nHere's what happens when you do this, when you never admit that you are in wrong, when you never acknowledge that there's such a thing as sin, when you never acknowledge that there is such a thing as the commandments of God, and that if you will keep the commandments of God He will bless you and watch over you. No! They won't admit they're wrong!\nVerse 21: \"Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!\" Isn't that true of everything: government, religion, financing.\nNow out of the mess of all of this, we do have a President who is trying to do some things that are right, but it's so bad, and he has fought against it at every turn. That shows you, and this tells you exactly what the thinking of the government and the thinking of religion, and the thinking of education really amount to. It's their way or no way! \"\u2026wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight.\"\nVerse 22: \"Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink, who justify the wicked for a bribe\u2026\" (vs 22-23). Is there anyone truthful in Washington, D.C., New York City, Los Angeles, and Sacramento?\n\"\u2026and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!\" (v 23). Yes, if you are against all of their perverted sex orientations, you're an enemy.\nVerse 24: \"Therefore, as the fire devours the stubble, and the flame burns up the chaff; their root shall be like rottenness, and their blossoms shall go up like dust, because they have cast away the Law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the Word of the Holy One of Israel.\"\nSo what's going to happen? Delores keeps saying, 'You know you have all these millennials out there and they're all educated in communism and they're all educated in fascism as well. No one can have an opinion other than theirs.'\nThen you look at all of us 'oldies,' and we're hobbling to the store and hobbling home. On election day, you hobble down to the election thing. Then you remember the words of Oprah Winfrey. What a lovely, lovely, wonderful woman. When the question was asked her, she said, 'How are you going to get in this kind of agenda. That is this liberal agenda! She says, 'A lot of people have to die first.' How's that for love and concern!\nEvery time I look at people going to vote, with their walker, gray hair, cane, assistance. Will they be there for the next election? A lot of people have to die first!\nSidebar: It says here in Isa. 3 that women are going to rule over you. Remember how prophecies are fulfilled: to the maximum, not the minimum. Look at how many women are running for office. Many of them are more qualified than men, because the men are so stupid!\nNevertheless, who's going to rule over you? What else is going to happen? The stranger will rise up high above you! Combine the two of those into a presidential run in 2020 by someone like Oprah Winfrey, and she wins.\nyouth are worthless\nold people are oppressed\nno one wants to do what is right\neverything is upside down and backwards\nWe can be thankful that God has put Donald Trump there, but that's only a thin veneer, because in many areas it looks like even all that he's trying to do, it's too late! May slow it down, but it's too late!\nWait till you hear what they're trying to do with the Word of God. Different countries, especially China, want to re-write it so that it now becomes their Bible. Other countries, other nations, the same way.\nWhy does it say at the end-time it's going to be so bad? Because all of the sins are added up and multiplied and multiplied!\nI'll mention one last thing and we'll change the subject. What's going to happen to the world currency situation, not just the dollar. What's going to happen because the world is sitting on $390-trillion worth of unfunded liabilities?\nHe who owns the debt-instrument will become the ruler. Who is behind that? Satan the devil! All of these things that are grown and multiplied and come out the way that they have come out is because Satan is there to say, 'I have a benefit for you. You don't have to worry about God. You don't have to worry about any of that. I have a benefit for you. If you do this, you'll like it.'\nWhat does he do? He gives success! So, they repeat and repeat and repeat. Ultimately that's what's going to happen in the whole world everywhere.\nLike I've mentioned before, every time I drive home from the store with something, and I drive through this little neighborhood, wonderful nice houses, everybody has their lawn mowed, trimmed, ready to go. They water the flowers and the lawn. They keep it nice and clean. They put the garbage cans out on Tuesday night and the garbage is collected Wednesday morning. Everything is fine. The water comes in through the pipes and the electricity, gas, all the video things they want. Everything is just lovely.\nI imagine they are very friendly to each other as neighbors, and so forth. But what's going to happen when it all collapses? Just need the electricity to go, that's all. Take away the electricity one week and we're history!\nDidn't mean to be a downer on that for you. But just seeing the way that the world is going, we need to understand it. If we don't look at things realistically, the way that they are, and ask God for help and strength so we can endure whatever we need to go through, that's why. The world is going to be absolutely floored!\nGo to 7-Eleven and say, 'I want some water.' It's all gone! You go to the gas station and say, 'I need some gas.' It's all gone! You go to the grocery store and say, 'I need some of this.' It's all gone! You go to the pharmacy and say, 'I need my medicine.' It's all gone!\nEverything, right here the first one, v 8: \"Woe to those who join house to house, that lay field to field\u2026\" I hope you can look at news a little differently.\nImputed Righteousness #2\nWhy does God impute righteousness to those who are His?\nWhy do we need it imputed? We cannot earn it!\nWe've covered a lot of things here in the book of Romans, so I'm not going to go back and go over those.\nRighteousness is imputed, given by God to those who believe Him, love Him, repent and are baptized. Why is it necessary for God to do that? Is it not enough to repent and be baptized, have your sins forgiven? That's a requirement; that's a start! And receive the Holy Spirit, that's a requirement; that's a start!\nRom. 4 talks about Abraham\nRom. 5 will help answer what work, thought or what activity eliminates from any person 'the law of sin and death'? If the law of sin and death were eliminated, you wouldn't need righteousness imputed!\nWe saw two terrible mistranslations in Romans that God had made Paul free from the law of sin and death. That's a terrible translation. No, He delivered Paul.\nHow did God deliver Paul?\nHow does God deliver us?\nThat's the important question. Let's see why Jesus had to take upon Himself the law of sin and death, because it was in Jesus' flesh that sin and death were condemned.\nWas it in Abraham's? No!\nWas it in David's? No!\nWas it any of the other apostles? No!\nAny of the other prophets? No!\nWere they counted as righteous? Yes!\nRomans 4:19: \"And he\u2026 [Abraham] \u2026not being weak in the faith, considered not his own body, already having become dead, being about one hundred years old, nor did he consider the deadness of Sarah's womb; and he did not doubt the promise of God through unbelief\u2026\" (vs 19-20).\nEven though Abraham had this perfect faith, did this perfect faith remove the law of sin and death from him? No! You cannot be perfectly righteous as long as you have the law of sin and death.\nThe way we have right standing with God is through imputed righteousness, so that we can receive His Holy Spirit, receive His blessing, receive His intervention in our lives and change, grow and overcome.\n\"\u2026rather, he was strengthened in the faith, giving glory to God; for he was fully persuaded that what He has promised, He is also able to do\" (vs 20-21).\nThink about 'your seed shall be like the stars of heaven.' He had to wait fifteen years for that one night. Then came Isaac, one son. His wife talked him into a little sidebar with Hagar, and that didn't turn out so good.\nNotice what this does. This all ties in with do you love God with all your heart, mind, soul and being. Do you believe God and His promises that what He has promised to do He is able to do and will carry it out? And that you know and understand that God has called you?\nVerse 22: \"As a result\u2026\" Likewise with you as a result of your repentance and baptism, as a result of your desire to love God and serve Him.\n\"\u2026it was also imputed to him for righteousness\" (v 22). What kind of righteousness is this? Godly righteousness!\nCan you have true Godly righteousness inherent in yourself while you still have the law of sin and death in you? No! You may be good. You may be obedient. You may be all of these things.\nThat's why when you read in 1-John how we need to repent of our sins when they come along, even after we're baptized. How in Heb. 12, there that the sin so easily besets us, and how that you know and I know that we have thoughts go through our minds, thoughts we don't even intend or know are going to come. Do we have total control over our minds, thoughts and emotions? No!\nThe righteousness of Christ is imputed to us because that is the only way we can be righteousness now.\nVerse 23: \"But it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him; rather, it was also written for our sakes, to whom it shall be imputed\u2014to those who believe in Him Who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead; Who was delivered for our offenses and was raised for our justification\" (vs 23-25).\nThe more you think about it, pray about it, study about it, and go through and keep the Passover and Feast of Unleavened Bread every year, we learn more. What also is a phenomena that happens? The more you receive of God's Holy Spirit, the more it exposes the evil within so that we can repent and overcome!\nRomans 5:1: \"Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.\"\nWe are no longer hostile against God. Doesn't mean you don't have faults or mistakes, you do. I do, everyone does. But not everyone has the righteousness of Christ imputed to them!\nVerse 2: \"Through Whom we also have access by faith into this grace in which we stand\u2026\" I don't think we've fully comprehended the fullness of the grace of God. Think of it. The Sovereign Ruler of the universe is dealing with each one of us individually, personally by imputation of His righteousness through Christ.\nCan you earn it?\nCan you buy it?\nYou certainly can't go back and make up for your past life. That's why we need Christ! And to think and know and understand even greater, greater what God did through Christ.\nGod's judgment is perfect\nGod's righteousness is perfect\nWhat happened when Adam and Eve sinned? We will see in just a bit.\n\"\u2026and we ourselves boast in the hope of the glory of God\" (v 2). What is the great hope? Resurrection of the dead!\nVerse 3: \"And not only this, but we also boast in tribulations, realizing that tribulation brings forth endurance.\" This is the kind of character that comes from those things we discussed during the days of Unleavened Bread.\nVerse 4: \"And endurance brings forth character\u2026. [because you wait. You believe God. You wait for God to do what He needs to do] \u2026and character brings forth hope. And the hope of God never makes us ashamed because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, which has been given to us\" (vs 4-5).\nThink of that for just a minute. What a tremendous thing that is that each one of us have from God the Father His Holy Spirit and from Jesus Christ His Holy Spirit. They dwell within us! God says, 'I will dwell in them and walk in them and be their God' (2-Cor. 6). That's why we need the righteousness of God imputed to us so that can happen.\nIt's not a carte blanche to sin. It is an encouragement to draw close to God so you don't sin, so that you repent of sin, so that you grow and overcome.\nVerse 6: \"For even when we were without strength, at the appointed time Christ died for the ungodly.\" I don't think I have yet even given a sermon that is comparable to what could give us the understanding of what Jesus actually did to divest Himself as God to become a man and take within Him the mitochondrial genes of His mother Mary. Think of that. Does that not forever change Christ? Yes, indeed!\n\"\u2026Christ died for the ungodly.\" That's why the scribes and Pharisees were disappointed because they figured they were the righteous ones and the Messiah should come to them and make a political alliance. 'Let's get rid of these Romans.'\nVerse 7: \"For rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, although perhaps someone might have the courage even to die for a good man.\" You hear of that every once in a while.\nVerse 8: \"But God commends His own love to us\u2026\" Remember, think in big terms, not just me, myself and I. All those whom God has called, all of those whom God has not called, add to that the Millennium and the Great White Throne Judgment. All of those things.\nWhen we read some of these Scriptures, we need to look at the broader, bigger picture. 'God so loved the world' (John 3:16).\nVerse 8: \"But God commends His own love\u2026 [His personal love] \u2026to us because, when we were still sinners, Christ died for us.\"\nWhen was He slain? It was set from the foundation of the world!\nDoes that not cover all human beings?\nWas that not before Adam was created?\nVerse 9: \"Much more, therefore, having been justified now by His blood\u2026\" Justification means put into right spiritual standing with God:\nthrough the forgiveness of your sins\nby the sacrifice and shed blood of Jesus Christ.\nNo other way is going to do it!\n\"\u2026we shall be saved from wrath through Him. For if, when we were enemies\u2026\" (vs 9-10).\nWhat did they say to Jesus first thing when He was hung up on the cross? His enemies were right there in front of Him. Pontius Pilate represented the governments of the world. Sadducees and Pharisees and scribes represented the religious leaders of the world. All of those out there against Christ represented all of sinful human beings, 'Crucify Him!' Even the thief that thought he was asking a reasonable question said, 'Why don't you come down from there and save Yourself and us?'\nHe didn't die for one righteous person, because there's no such thing outside of Jesus Christ as one righteous person! When Jesus said, 'When you've done all the things you're commanded to do, you should call yourself unprofitable servants because that's what you were required to do.' If you understand that, then you will know why Job had such a hard time, because everything that Job did was commanded by God!\nVerse 10: \"For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of His own Son, much more then, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. And not only this, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by Whom we have now received the reconciliation\" (vs 10-11)\u2014and the imputed righteousness of Christ!\nVerse 12 tells us why we need the imputed righteousness of God the Father given to us through Jesus Christ: \"Therefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and by means of sin came death; and in this way death passed into all mankind; and it is for this reason that all have sinned.\" It's inherited! The law of sin and death is stamped on every gene of your body.\nWhat law can you do to get rid of it?\nWhat can you do to have it taken out of you? You cannot!\nHow then will you ever be righteous before God?\nBecause of His love, mercy and imputed righteousness so that you are in right standing with Him! But this right standing with Him has to be maintained by our own choices, our own love, and doing the things that God has said. That is:\ngrow in grace and knowledge\nAfter studying the Bible and translating the Bible, in all the years in the ministry, I'm still learning. There's so much in the Bible it's absolutely incredible. It's not a matter that you memorize Scripture and now you have something really good. Well, you do, but that's like a start.\nGod created everything in the world, even the smallest particle. As we sit here right now, those smallest particles are passing right through us and we don't even know it. The God Who did all of that:\nhas called us\nhas imputed His righteousness to us\nso we can be faithful to Him and believe!\nThis is the end-sum of all we are going through; Romans 8:1: \"Consequently, there is now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus... [qualifier]: \u2026who are not walking according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.\"\nIt doesn't say you're perfect, but it does say you're seeking the spiritual things of God and walking with His Spirit, and minding the things of the Spirit and not the things of the world and of the flesh.\nVerse 2: \"Because the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has delivered me\u2026\"\u2014not freed me, did not set you free from the law of sin and death.\nRom. 7 tells you that within you there's no good thing that exists of itself. How did He deliver?\nremoving our sins as far as the east is from the west\ngiving us His Holy Spirit\ngiving us His Word\ngiving us His tools so we can resist and fight and overcome\nGod did not impute the righteousness of Christ to us so we have nothing to do. He did that to inspire us to do what He wants us to do. Then you have those Scriptures applied to you for repentance, when and if you sin, that's every day!\n\"\u2026has delivered me from the law of sin and death\" (v 2)\u2014not removing it from you. Set free means take it out of you. I'm going to set you free of your right hand; I'm going to cut it off. No!\nHe gives you the tools to overcome\nHe gives you His Spirit to use to overcome\nHe gives you His Word to be taught the Truth so you can be inspired to change and grow\nSo, you can develop a tremendous relationship with God the Father and Jesus Christ.\nI think about what it's going to be like on that Sea of Glass, and there are all of us saints all together. It's going to be a large number. We're going to have to take over the whole world. Everyone there will have graduated through the resurrection of the dead, and they no longer have the law of sin and death! Perfection does not come in the flesh. Perfection comes in the spirit at the resurrection!\nRomans 5:13: \"(For before the Law\u2026 [given to Israel] \u2026sin was in the world\u2026. [because the law was still there] \u2026However, sin is not imputed when law does not exist.\" How can God say the whole world is guilty before Him, if the Law does not exist?\nVerse 14: \"Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam until Moses, even upon those who had not sinned in the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the One Who was to come.\"\nIsn't that something? We all receive the law of sin and death because Adam and Eve sinned. Adam was the one who was held responsible. Adam is the one who conveys the law of sin and death to every human being\u2014male or female\u2014in every subsequent generation down through time.\nVerse 15: \"But should not the free gift be even as the offense was?\u2026. [free gift is grace and imputed righteousness] \u2026For if by the transgression of the one man many died, how much more did the grace of God, and the gift of grace, which is by the One Man Jesus Christ abound unto many?\"\nThink of this in relationship to the plan of God, not just the Church of God, not just the New Testament:\nreaching back to the patriarchs\nreaching forward into the thousand-year period\nreaching forward into the Great White Throne Judgment\nWill not that grace abound greater than all the sins that came about because of the sins of human beings through the law of sin and death inherited from Adam and Eve? That's going to be something. We need to think big on these things.\nVerse 16: \"And should not the free gift be like that which came by the one who had sinned? For on the one hand, judgment was by one unto condemnation\u2026\"\nWhat is that condemnation? By one!\nWhat does it say? As in Adam we all die!\nwhether you know God or don't know God\nwhether you live long or whether you have a short life\nThat condemnation was the law of sin and death within you unto death. Also that's why it says all, not some, but all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.\nVerse 17: \"For if by the offense of the one man death reigned\u2026 [ruled, like a king] \u2026by the one, how much more shall those who receive the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness\u2026 [imputed righteousness] \u2026reign in life by the One Jesus Christ.\"\nin our lives today\nin the lives of all of those who have gone before us in the Churches of God\nin the lives of all of those who will come into the Kingdom of God during the Millennium\nin the lives of all of those who will come into the Kingdom of God in the Great White Throne judgment\nThink of it that way, great and fantastic things occurring.\nVerse 18: \"So then, even as by the one transgression condemnation came unto all men, in the same way also, by the one act of righteousness\u2026 [through His life, death, crucifixion, resurrection] \u2026shall justification of life come unto all men.\" Notice how broad that is. That's why it's important to understand the plan of God.\nVerse 19: \"For even as by the disobedience of the one man many were made sinners, in the same way also, by the obedience of the one Man shall many be made righteous.\" True righteousness, not just imputed! Imputed while we're still in the flesh. True righteousness at the resurrection.\nVerse 20: \"Moreover, the law entered, so that transgression might abound; but where sin abounded, the grace of God did super abound.\" Think in this again in terms of the whole swath of God's plan.\nVerse 21: \"So that even as sin has reigned unto death, so also might the grace of God reign through righteousness\u2026 [the imputed righteousness] \u2026unto eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.\"\nThat's a fantastic section of Scripture that is difficult to understand if you don't look at the whole plan of God. So this is something.\nThis is where works of law. What work of what law will remove the law of sin and death from you? None! As important as Sabbath-keeping is, it cannot get rid of the law of sin and death.\nit can keep you in contact with God\nit can keep you from doing a lot of other sins because you keep it\nit can help you have more knowledge of God\nBut it cannot remove it, because it cannot be removed until you die, and are then resurrected. Then it's gone!\nThis is why the first resurrection is so powerful. Those who come into the Kingdom of God after us are not going to have to fight against Satan the devil, fight against the depravity of the law of sin and death. They'll still have it, but not probably in the same magnitude that we do.\nLook at all those poor criminals out there. Sinning, breaking the law, thinking evil, wretched, everything like that. God has to judge them whether they're worthy of eternal life or not. That's why it's in God's hands. We don't know. How bad can it get?\nWould you say that the Bible says David was righteous? Yes, indeed!\nWhat did he do even as king, even knowing God?\nWhat did he do even in all the Psalms and prayers to God?\nThink of that! That was with Bathsheba David's great Laodicean-presumption. He was king and he could order it and he could do it. But what happened because of his one act? The history of the rest of his reign in Israel was one of trouble, rebellion! Think of how the population gets turned off when the leader sins greatly. 'If the king can do it, anybody can do it. Is he not God's servant?'\nThis is why we have it imputed to us because the best of what we can do cannot remove the law of sin and death from us:\nit must be forgiven\nit must be covered with the blood of Jesus Christ\nit cannot be changed or removed until the resurrection\nHere's the kind of repentance David had; Psalm 51:1: \"Have mercy upon me, O God, according to Your loving kindness; according to the greatness of Your compassion, blot out my transgressions.\"\nWhat did God say through Nathan? He said to David, 'You're the man, and God asks:\nCould I have not given you this, that, or the other thing?\nWhy did you do this?'\nLook what happened!\nPrince Charles, Diane, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump. But Donald Trump is probably the only one who has really repented. Don't know, but have to be because at least he keeps his word. That doesn't make him righteous or anything like that, but at least it shows people can change and reform.\nVerse 2: \"Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin\u2026 [it's right there in every cell of your body] \u2026for I acknowledge my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me\" (vs 2-3).\nThere are certain things you're never going to get out of your mind. I don't think God would let David get that out of his mind. I don't know what about Bathsheba, but she wasn't innocent, because she wasn't taking a bath in the bedroom with the doors closed.\nVerse 4: \"Against You\u2026\" All sin is against God! Yes, it's against people too, but against God, because God says\nshall not murder\nshall not commit adultery\nshall not steal\nshall not bear false witness\nshall not covet\nTo stop this kind of interaction between people. When you sin, it's against God! Why? Who is Lawgiver? God! Who enforces it? God!\nVerse 4: \"Against You, You only, have I sinned, and done evil in Your sight, that You might be justified when You speak and be in the right when You judge. Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me\" (vs 4-5).\nNot because it was an adulterous relationship, but because of the law of sin and death. Was David subject to it right from the time he was conceived? Yes!\nHere's the end result. Here's what God wants. This is why repentance and imputed righteousness is given. This is a lifetime project.\nVerse 6: \"Behold, You desire Truth in the inward parts\u2026\"\u2014Truth!\nI'll tell you one thing for sure, we need the Truth of God, the Truth of God, the Truth of God, and none of the teachings of men added to it or take away from it. Those of you who know me, if they start going against the Word of God, more than dander gets up, I'll tell you that.\nVerse 6: \"Behold, You desire Truth in the inward parts\u2026\" Take that and think on that thought the rest of this week. \"\u2026Truth in the inward parts\u2026\"\nAsk yourself: How many times did I lie today? In your heart and mind! How many times did I take pleasure in sin from something I saw? You want Truth, the Truth of God's Word!\n\"\u2026and in the hidden part You shall make me to know wisdom\" (v 6). Only God can give us that understanding.\nVerse 7: \"Purge me with hyssop\u2026\" That reminds me of these high-powered hoses that they have now. There's one that whips it up about ten times speed. Think about purging the inside of you with that.\n\"\u2026and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow\" (v 7). How is that done? Through the sacrifice and blood of Jesus Christ (Isa. 1).\nVerse 8: \"Make me to hear joy and gladness that the bones, which You have broken, may rejoice. Hide Your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God\u2026\" (vs 8-10). That's why we're given the imputed righteousness!\n\"\u2026and renew a steadfast spirit within me\" (v 10). Not one that vacillating back and forth. How close did David come to losing it all?\nVerse 11: \"Cast me not away from Your presence, and take not Your Holy Spirit from me.\" There's some deep repentance here. I think there are a lot of people in the Churches of God that need to be doing that. Too many are playing 'our social little party and our own little friends and our own little group'. Nothing wrong with that as long as you're growing in grace, knowledge and Truth.\nWhy do you keep the Sabbath?\nAll of those things are important. This is why we need the imputed righteousness! That is a great, fantastic and wonderful gift of God! Think of that.\nNext time you could either see it on television or go stand outside on a clear night\u2014Delores swears that the stars in Oklahoma are even bigger than the ones in Texas. I think about that and look up and I see those stars or I see something like the top of the mountains at 14,000 feet, all layers of the strata, straight up.\nGod did that! Then made all the stars, everything that there is. That's why David said, 'What is man that You're mindful of him? You have made him a little lower than God.' That tells us the why of everything that God does!\nIsaiah 5:1-9, 11-24, 8",

Took me years to figure out it was a con.

From 1951 to 1979, Labour government still presided over slightly bigger annual increases to health spending than the Conservatives.\nThat\u2019s according to these figures from the Health Foundation, and is mainly due to cuts made by the Conservatives between 1951 and 1955.\nIt\u2019s true that Conservative governments have presided over the NHS for the majority of its life.\nBut for most of the years since the NHS was founded, it\u2019s clear that Labour have out-spent the Conservatives.",

        "raw_content": "Giancarlo Stanton and the Biggest Contracts in American Sports History\nBaseball has its first $300 million man. For that matter, North American professional sports as a whole has its first $300 million man. Miami Marlins outfielder Giancarlo Stanton has reportedly agreed to a $325 million deal with the team spanning 13 seasons, which would be the largest in the history of the MLB, NBA, NFL, or NHL. Stanton, the runner-up for the National League\u2019s 2014 MVP award, hit 37 home runs with 105 RBIs and 299 total bases in the recently concluded season. For a Marlins franchise that\u2019s missed the playoffs 11 years in a row, locking up Stanton long-term represents a significant building block for future success.\nSo how much bigger is Stanton\u2019s reported $325 million contract than the previous record? Who else has even been in the neighborhood? (Hint: Mostly baseball players.) We used Spotrac.com to examine the biggest contract values all-time in each of the four major North American pro sports. Here\u2019s what we found.\nThe biggest contract in baseball history pre-Stanton belonged to Alex Rodriguez. For that matter, the biggest two contracts in baseball history pre-Stanton both belonged to Alex Rodriguez. A-Rod signed a $252 million deal with Texas in 2000 and then inked an even larger $275 million contract with the Yankees seven years later.\nAccording to Spotrac.com, six other MLB ballplayers have landed contracts worth more than $200 million. They are, in order: Miguel Cabrera ($248 million), Albert Pujols ($240 million), Robinson Cano ($240 million), Joey Votto ($225 million), Clayton Kershaw ($215 million), and Prince Fielder ($214 million).\nSteve Schaefer/Getty Images\nThe largest contract in basketball history belongs to Kobe Bryant, who snagged a $136 million deal in 2004. (Small potatoes compared to the record-breaking baseball salaries, isn\u2019t it? Although, to be fair, the limit in hoops is a seven-year contract.) Runners-up in the highest-paid department, per Spotrac.com: Jermaine O\u2019Neal, Kevin Garnett, Carmelo Anthony, and Joe Johnson. Tim Duncan and Shaquille O\u2019Neal just missed the top five of this list, begging the question, \u201cHow in the world did Jermaine O\u2019Neal get a bigger contract than Shaquille O\u2019Neal?\u201d\nMichael Vick (pictured) owns the distinction of signing the biggest contract in NFL history (so far) when he put pen to paper on a $130 million extension with Atlanta. That didn\u2019t end so well for the Falcons when Vick went to jail for dogfighting in 2007. The top five deals in NFL history all belong to quarterbacks: Vick is joined by Jay Cutler, Joe Flacco, Carson Palmer, and Colin Kaepernick on that list. One important disclaimer to note: Obviously, the NFL is different from the other leagues listed here in that not all of the money in mammoth contracts is guaranteed.\nThree hundred and twenty-five million dollars? No NHL player has ever pulled down a contract worth even $125 million! Alex Ovechkin came close \u2014 his current 13-year deal is worth a cool $124 million. Other nine-figure hockey stars are few and far between: According to spotrac.com, it\u2019s just Shea Weber ($110 million), Sidney Crosby ($104.4 million), and of course, Ilya Kovalchuk. Kovalchuk signed a 15-year deal with the Devils in 2010 and then decided to retire in 2013. Tough break for the Devils, who have dead money counting against their salary cap for another solid decade.",

        "raw_content": "Violent Fistfight Over Church Seat Lands Utah Man in Jail\nCP Current Page: Church & Ministries | Wednesday, July 03, 2013\nWayne Dodge, 51, ended up in jail on Sunday after a violent fistfight over a seat at the Meadows Ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Utah on Sunday. | (Photo: Screen Grab via Fox 13)\nA violent fistfight that erupted after a quarrel over saved seats during a missionary farewell and baby blessing at the Meadows Ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Utah on Sunday has landed a 51-year-old man in jail.\nAccording to Weber County Sheriff's Lt. Mark Lowther in a Deseret News report, a family which doesn't normally attend the ward was in the packed chapel on Sunday to support the baby that was being blessed and they were reserving seats in a pew for other family members.\nWhen regular member of the ward, 51-year-old Wayne Dodge saw one of the reserved seats however, he chose to sit down in the pew which upset the celebrating family and the two factions exchanged angry words.\nTensions apparently only simmer during the rest of the service because the two sides simply picked up right where they left off in the pew when they ran into each other in the church parking lot at the end of the service explained Lowther.\nThe fight also further escalated between Dodge and a male member of the upset family.\n\"(Dodge) ended up throwing a couple of punches and striking this individual. He had some blood coming from his face, so he went inside the church to clean up. And when he exited the church, (Dodge) was in his car. I guess there was another confrontation,\" Lowther told Deseret News. Dodge allegedly hit the man with his vehicle.\n\"Ultimately, the victim ended up on the hood of the car,\" said Lowther. \"(Dodge) exited the vehicle and some other people that attended the church service restrained him. And I don't know how, but he ultimately ended up in the bishop's office until law enforcement arrived.\"\nThe man suffered only minor injuries, but Dodge was arrested for aggravated assault and disorderly conduct.\nReactions to the fight have been varied with people siding with either side of the fight while other feel both parties acted irresponsibly.\n\"From personal experience, I know how frustrating it can be, when I show up for church on time, and cannot sit in the chapel, because families are saving seats for others who don't show up until some time later, often after the meeting has started. It seems so unfair. I can understand what may have motivated Bro. Dodge to sit in the open seats,\" noted BH from Utah, who commented on the report.\n\"It is very unfortunate that the feelings in the parking lot, escalated to anger and violence. Too bad someone did not turn the other cheek, and walk away. This will not only have an effect on the two families involved, but on many in the ward. Hopefully apologies will be made, feelings will be mended, and all can grow,\" added BH.\n\"Two wrongs don't make a right. Both parties were wrong for trying to enforce their position. Both parties had the responsibility to back down and take a chill pill. Obviously, in this case, neither party did,\" wrote Mountain Man of Salt Lake City.\nTim Tebow to Speak at Pro-Life Pregnancy Center\nLiberty University Progressive?

        "raw_content": "Why Did I Get Married Too is a valiant effort. It\u2019s real. It avoids all the usual pratfalls and only succumbs amidst the weight of its own massive scope. I can\u2019t recommend it. It\u2019s too long. It meanders a bit too much. It never pauses to revel in what it\u2019s trying to create. But damnit does it try. Emotional meltdowns, well-crafted recurrent inside jokes about sports broadcasting, honest depictions of why divorces can so easily go South. There\u2019s an Academy-nominated screenplay inside Tyler Perry somewhere. This isn\u2019t it\nTyler Perry is fast becoming the black community\u2019s Woody Allen. He\u2019s the New York Yankees, abortion and government-sponsored health care, zealously supported by his followers, hatefully maligned by the rest. Either you\u2019re with him or you\u2019re against him, a bigoted racist unable to appreciate black art or an optimistic Kool Aid drinker all too willing to support anything which can be seen as progressive. It\u2019s an ominous storm cloud of contradictions which hovers over Tyler Perry\u2019s work, a divisive one-way-or-the-other lens you almost can\u2019t help but look through. It lingered over my almost entirely black theater, and I suspect, if you make it out to see Why Did I Get Married Too?, it\u2019ll linger over your theater as well. It\u2019s a shame, really, considering that regardless of which side of the Mason-Dixon line you're on, there\u2019s a lot here to both appreciate and disparage.\nWhy Did I Get Married Too is the story of four couples and a dude who attend a retreat to catch up with old friends and get their marriages back on track. Terry and Diane (Tyler Perry and Sharon Leal) are the stable couple, a loving, supporting unit both embarrassed by and hopelessly devoted to Terry\u2019s famous sports broadcaster brother Marcus (Michael Jai White) and his excitable, borderline bat shit crazy wife Angela (Tasha Smith). She\u2019s the Nancy. On second thought, maybe they\u2019re both Nancy\u2019s. All four have been friends with Gavin and Patricia (Malik Yoba and Janet Jackson) and Mike and Sheila (Richard T. Jones and Jill Scott) for years; unfortunately, Mike and Sheila are now Troy (Lamman Rucker) and Sheila, but Mike is along as well. And Gavin and Patricia are dangerously close to being Gavin. And Patricia.\nMovies like Why Did I Get Married Too tend to abide by formulas, tried and true plot outlines which govern when the big reveals are revealed and when the customary I-still-love-you\u2019s are delivered. Why Did I Get Married Too pisses on those formulas and does whatever the hell it wants, whenever the hell it wants to. This is the movie\u2019s strength. Like p.t. Anderson\u2019s Boogie Nights it winds and twists from the emotionally-wrenching (money problems, infidelity, loss of children) to punch-drunk and giddy (nationally-televised blow-ups, bad lies, shady text messages). And as thus the plot unfolds, an M.C. Esher painting of highs and lows, cancers and make-up trysts. Life at its most unexpected, cinema at its most chaotic.\nBut amidst all the big reveals, after all the Hollywood glamour is stripped away, Tyler Perry movies, like Martin Scorsese movies, like Wes Anderson movies, are about connecting with characters. They\u2019re about finding the humanity, bonding with that humanity and within a few short hours, learning to care about someone. Why Did I Get Married Too is a film with way too many someones to care about. There\u2019s nine major characters, all of whom are given their own lives. Angela is convinced Marcus is cheating. Sheila is worried about Troy keeping his feelings to himself. Diane has a sudden, bizarre glow about her. Mike regrets the way he treated Sheila. Gavin can\u2019t figure out why Patricia won\u2019t open up. And on and on it goes. A massive labyrinth of problems, not black problems, relationship problems, universal issues we\u2019ve all encountered in significant others. But as the layers are piled on and as the idiosyncrasies are delved into, the sense of humanity, that brutal, un-Hollywood happy ending honesty Tyler Perry seems so desperate to find here gets lost in the back pockets of nine characters fighting for screen time.\nWhy Did I Get Married Too is a valiant effort. It\u2019s real. It avoids all the usual pitfalls and only succumbs amidst the weight of its own massive scope. I can\u2019t recommend it. It\u2019s too long, it meanders a bit too much, and it never pauses to revel in what it\u2019s trying to create. But damnit does it try. Emotional meltdowns, well-crafted recurrent inside jokes about sports broadcasting, honest depictions of why divorces can so easily go South. There\u2019s an Academy-nominated screenplay inside Tyler Perry somewhere. This isn\u2019t it. In fact, it may take three or four more misses before it comes out, but there\u2019s five or six moments in Why Did I Get Married Too which prove it\u2019s there. About half way through, Louis Gossett Jr. gives a speech about why he loves his wife. She waited for him during the war. He married someone else. She\u2019s clearly still bitter. Eventually, life pushed them back together. Fifty-five years later, they\u2019re still fighting the same fight. Together. It\u2019s a beautiful moment, the type of beautiful moment seen in Wes Anderson\u2018s Rushmore or the Coen Brothers\u2018 Raising Arizona. But most people aren\u2019t going to see it because, much as they\u2019ve already decided Woody Allen is a whiny Jew, they've written off Tyler Perry. Tyler Perry is fast becoming the black community\u2019s Woody Allen, and whether deserved or not, that\u2019s a shame.\nReviewed By: Mack Rawden",

        "raw_content": "Subscribe To The Crazy Way Jane Krakowski Filmed Her First Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt Scenes Updates\nThe Crazy Way Jane Krakowski Filmed Her First Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt Scenes\nThe latest Netflix original Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt has officially arrived to the subscription streaming service today. Despite having an all-star team on board, including Tina Fey, Ellie Kemper and Jane Krakowski, the show almost didn't come together. NBC passed on the show and Netflix subsequently picked it up,and once that happened, things were a little hectic. In fact, in a recent interview, Krakowski discussed the insanely crazy way she filmed her very first scenes for the series.\nI had never done anything like this before. It was guerilla-style with a green screen with a mini crew. We did it in my own home. I just stood on a crate or something, talking to nobody. There were no actors there. They just pasted me in, and I started filming a few weeks later. I really didn't even know who I was playing. It was that quick.\nWith the Netflix pick-up in mind, it's no surprise Krakowski told THR that the show had a hectic production schedule. Hearing the way Krakowski filmed her very first moments in the newly-released series has only reinforced that notion.\nWhy were things done in such a shotgun fashion? As it turns out, the comedienne joined the Kemper-led series at the absolute last minute. Ironically, she had just been told her previous project Dead Boss wasn't being picked up an hour before she got a phone call from Fey asking her to come on board the Netflix series. From there, things moved at a rapid pace. Krakowski was fitted that Friday and filmed the following Saturday, and as she noted, the show's team inserted her scenes later.\nIt sounds like Krakowski, who apparently didn't know much at all about this project prior to joining, had to put a lot of faith in her former co-star Fey. Word is that Fey wrote the part of Jacqueline Voorhes, described as wealthy, complicated, screwed up and on-edge, with Krakowski in mind, although Megan Dobbs initially filmed the role in the pilot. It is reminiscent to the qualities making up her hilarious 30 Rock character Jenna Maroney, which makes me think her coming aboard Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is not only great for Krakowski but also for Fey's new series. Thank God for close friends, right?\nThe comedy was created by Tina Fey and Robert Carlock and stars Ellie Kemper (The Office), Tituss Burgess (30 Rock), Sara Chase (Arrested Development) and Jane Krakowski. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt follows the title character (Kemper) as she escapes a doomsday cult and moves to New York City, finding work as a nanny for Voorhees (Krakowski), while she begins her new life. Binge Season 1 of the series on Netflix now.",

        "raw_content": "Bar Review: The Award-WInning Tippling Club on Tanjong Pagar Road, Singapore\nImagine making 1, 200 gummy bears a day\u2026and not even selling them? These are the lengths to which Joe Schofield, Head Bartender of the award-winning Tippling Club, go to for Dreams and Desires, the second (and edible) edition of his Sensorium menu. Conceived with Tippling Club\u2019s chef-owner Ryan Clift and repeat collaborator, the International Flavours and Fragrances (IFF) Inc. over a period of 10 months, the menu of the 12 new cocktails (all priced at $24++) features 12 gummy bears served in cute green-and-white striped candy bag that sports the scent of an English sweet shop.\nI\u2019d say that the intention to invoke a sense of nostalgia and trigger memories with this menu succeeded with me from all the gummy bears I ate as a child (bears over worms anytime!), the Enid Blyton and Roald Dahl books I read (one of my favourites, The Giraffe and the Pelly and Me, involves a fantastic British confectionary store), and not to mention the slightly disastrous gummy bear infused vodka I tried making a few years ago. Out of the 12, there are those with names that you\u2019ll order because you\u2019re intrigued by Joe\u2019s interpretation of that dream or desire, and those that\u2019ll have you ordering because of their flavor profiles.\nFor instance, for the former Baby is served in a milk bottle \u2013 nipple and all. A concoction of milk, vanilla, apricot, honey, citrus, and gin, it calls to mind infantile pleasures like drinking milk and honey, enhanced by an adult floral and fruity bouquet. Another was Happiness; a sweet, tart cocktail with a complexity that can only tequila can give, garnished by a passionfruit-flavoured edible paper emblazoned with a smiley. The body of the cocktail is provided by yuzu, lemon, orange, and honey; which makes sense \u2013 there are different types of happiness, but whatever it is, it\u2019s tinged with the same sweetness.\nPeace also gets a special mention for having lemon balm in a cocktail without smelling or tasting too spa-like. Featuring almond milk, citrus, and vodka, this is one for those who need a well-balanced cocktail that has body but not too heavy, with a white chocolate treat as garnish.\nInspired by Coco Chanel and the Bellini (the classic Italian prosecco and white peach puree cocktail), Lust belongs to the latter category by adding crushed tonka bean and vanilla to the mix. The texture is lovely \u2013 probably what the creator of Bellini intended it to be with fresh fruit instead of store bought puree \u2013 with a bit of tartness in the finish. The dehydrated peach garnish adds another layer of sophistication to the tipple. If you enjoy chocolate covered strawberries, the affordable Indulgence combines strawberry, bourbon, and cocoa nibs; something that I\u2019d certainly go back for. An alternative nightcap would be Success, an extra heady combination of all-boozy ingredients of red wine, amaro, cognac, and whisky.\nAt the end of the day, some might consider Tippling Club\u2019s new menu gimmicky and pandering a little too much to the Instagram crowd. That said, after relocating to Tanjong Pagar from Dempsey Hill in December 2013, Tippling Club has managed to stay in the game by keeping the ability to adapt to the times, as well as keeping the standards of food and drinks high. Whatever you might think of the gummy bears, the cocktails are still really tasty, and if that doesn\u2019t matter, what does?\nTippling Club is located at 38 Tanjong Pagar Road, Singapore 088461, p. +65 6475 2217. Bar open Mon-Fri 12pm-12am, Sat 6pm-12am. Closed Sun. Restaurant open Mon-Fri 12pm-3pm, 6pm till late, Sat 6pm till late.",

It shows that more students want to come to Carnegie Mellon to learn science and take advantage of the exciting opportunities that we provide to them,\" said MCS Dean Rebecca W. Doerge. \"We give them a unique, forward-thinking educational program and access to some of the world's top scientists. Students also have the chance to engage in interdisciplinary coursework and research with the university's top-ranked computer science, engineering and statistics programs.\"\nMCS's new Core Education program, instituted for the first time in 2015, prepares students to become 21st century scientists. The program is unique in that it helps students develop as scholars, professionals, citizens and people, providing them with skills that will help them succeed in academics, the workplace and society.\n\"Employers and graduate schools want students with great technical skills, but they also want students who are prepared for the workplace and are ready to make a difference,\" said MCS Associate Dean for Undergraduate Affairs Maggie Braun. \"We don't know of any university that takes such a comprehensive approach to science education.\"\nThe Core Education's holistic viewpoint was developed in part by looking at the college's most successful alumni and the experiences and qualities they developed while at Carnegie Mellon. The common theme among most of the alumni was that they had a well-rounded college experience. They worked hard in their science classes, but also explored the arts and humanities, and they participated in research, community service and outreach.\nThe program also is soundly based in the latest science of learning research. MCS faculty work closely with Carnegie Mellon's Simon Initiative, which leverages learning science research to improve learning outcomes.\nThe result is an educational program in which students receive rigorous training in the sciences and their chosen field and are given opportunities to conduct research alongside Carnegie Mellon faculty. Students also participate in self-directed experiences that broaden their knowledge of the arts, help them maintain a balanced life and have them engage with the local and global community.\nThis year's incoming class will be the third class to participate in MCS's Core Education. They will be introduced to the program through a first-year seminar called \"Eureka! Discovery and Its Impact.\" Through this course, students will learn skills that will help them as they move through their bachelor's degree program and develop into young scientists. The seminar brings together the entire first-year class for seminars on study skills, lectures on personal wellness and discussions with working scientists. First-year students get to know one another better though team building exercises and are mentored by upper class students during recitation sessions.\n\"I was looking for a program where I could not only learn my discipline but also be pushed to study other sciences. The Core Education at MCS gives me the depth of studies I want, as well as placing me within a larger, interdisciplinary university that excels in diverse subjects such as musical theater, computer science and design,\" said Hannah Daniel, a first-year student in MCS. \"During the admission process, I also talked to some current MCS students. I saw myself in the individuals I spoke with, and even more, I saw them succeeding. I realized that meant I could succeed here too.\"\nMCS faculty look forward to bringing this year's first-year class together, because in addition to being the largest class, it also is one of the college's most diverse. More than half of the students are female. The class also includes students from 10 different countries, including Costa Rica, Great Britain, Hungary, India and Romania.",

When President Goodluck Jonathan made up his mind to convene the confab, he probably never knew that some people had another positive agenda.

Offering a complete re-imagination of video player technology, PDK 6 is built from the ground up to optimize time-to-first-frame on browsers, enhancing the viewer experience and speeding ad loads.\nBuilt for modern web and mobile browsing standards, PDK 6 was developed purely in HTML5 for resilient, fast performance and quicker ad loads. The new video player delivers load times of less than one second during controlled conditions, providing a key competitive advantage in user experience. The user interface has also been dramatically improved, offering a single player across all four major browsers on both desktop and mobile devices. Rebuilt to run against a native browser ecosystem, PDK 6 reduces the need for third-party intermediaries, reducing complexity and improving video player performance.\nBecause PDK 6 renders ads natively, ads load faster, and interoperability with ad systems is improved. PDK 6 supports both client and server-side ad insertion out-of-the-box and integrates with ad-serving platforms. By combining cutting-edge video player technology with mpx, content creators are able to enjoy streamlined workflows and minimize the overall cost of deployment, while syndicating their video through one of the industry\u2019s fastest video players.\n\u201cThe video deployment ecosystem has changed dramatically in recent years, and PDK 6 is designed to take advantage of those changes for an optimal user experience,\u201d said Bart Spriester, Vice President and General Manager at Comcast Technology Solutions. \u201cIn addition to offering a simpler user interface and faster time-to-first-frame, PDK 6 offers the easiest and most efficient opportunities for ad-supported monetization.\u201d\nNBCUniversal has been successfully testing an early version of the PDK 6 player, with plans for a full launch in the coming weeks.

Parents will want to discuss both sides of the equation.\nGuns are pulled but very infrequently fired. Several scenes of brutal fighting and beating. Scenes of a riot at a concert. Some bloody wounds. A major character dies. A character smashes up an office with a baseball bat. Battering ram smashes a house and hits a person. Minor characters die. Images of the 1991 Rodney King beating.\nFull-frontal female nudity. Sexual activity. Oral sex. Characters with many partners. References to unprotected sex.\nFrequent, extremely strong language includes \"f--k,\" \"motherf----r,\" \"s--t,\" \"bitch,\" \"p---y,\" \"ass,\" \"f----t,\" \"d--k,\" and the \"N\" word.\nRap artists, etc. mentioned, but not in a product placement sense.\nA main character starts out as a drug dealer. Pot and cocaine shown. Brief drug use. Characters drink heavily and frequently (with no consequences). Brief smoking.\nParents need to know that Straight Outta Compton is a biopic about groundbreaking, incendiary rap group N.W.A., whose song \"F--k tha Police\" caused a huge stir in 1988. On one hand, the group blazed many new trails in music and is still highly acclaimed today, but on the other hand, their behavior doesn't exactly qualify them as positive role models. Expect lots of extremely strong language, with constant use of \"f--k,\" \"s--t,\" the \"N\" word, and many more. Sexual content includes full-frontal female nudity, some sexual situations/references (oral sex, etc.), and characters with multiple partners. Violent scenes include a riot at a concert, fighting and beating, and general destruction. Some blood is shown, and characters die. Guns are drawn but rarely fired. One major character begins the film as a drug dealer, and cocaine and pot are shown. Characters drink frequently throughout (with no consequences), and drug use and smoking are shown.\nParent of a 5, 11, and 13 year old Written byMancave_Dad February 26, 2016\nParents should know the movie attempts to portray very mature themes on violence, police bigotry, and what young black youths do when they make it big.

Continue reading\nIn the 1980s, African-American youths in Compton are faced with poverty, police harassment, drugs, and violence. Five friends -- known as Dr. Dre (Corey Hawkins), Ice Cube (O'Shea Jackson Jr.), Eazy-E (Jason Mitchell), MC Ren (Aldis Hodge), and DJ Yella (Neil Brown Jr.) -- decide to try their hand at making rap music. Before long, with the help of manager Jerry Heller (Paul Giamatti), they become N.W.A. and create one of the most incendiary, game-changing albums of all time. Fans love them as much as the police hate them, but squabbles over money quickly drive the group apart. Dre and Cube struggle to launch solo careers, but Eazy's record label is drying up. He hopes to get N.W.A. back together again, but fate has other plans.\nA group as powerful as N.W.A. deserves a powerful movie; this one captures the energy of the moment, but after a while, it becomes apparent that the filmmakers didn't know how or where to stop. Director F. Gary Gray was there during the time portrayed here, making videos for both Ice Cube and Dr. Dre and making his feature directing debut with Cube's Friday (1995). He was clearly the right man for the job, and the footage of the group's early days and first successes is transporting and immensely powerful.\nBut perhaps Gray was a bit too close? Perhaps there was pressure to give equal weight to all the players, and to respectfully depict Eazy-E's 1995 AIDS-related death? As STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON reaches the mid-1990s, it becomes awkwardly torn between showing enough detail and showing too much; it could have been a fascinating long miniseries or a much stronger, shorter movie. But what's here will thrill music fans, especially those who wish to learn more about the old school.\nFamilies can talk about Straight Outta Compton's violence. Does it seem believable that violence could creep into the music industry from the streets? Does art reflect life, or vice versa? Do different types of movie violence have different impact on kids?\nWhy were people so scared of N.W.A. back in the 1980s? What did they think would happen? Are people scared of anything similar today?\nHow much sex is shown in the movie? Why do sex and the music business seem to go hand in hand? Parents, talk to your teens about your own values regarding sex and relationships.\nWhy do you think drinking, smoking, and drugs are so prevalent in the movie? Are they glamorized? How much of a role do substances play in the music industry?\nCast: O'Shea Jackson Jr., Corey Hawkins, Jason Mitchell\nMPAA explanation: language throughout, strong sexuality/nudity, violence, and drug use\nFantastic hip-hop documentary has profanity, some drug use.\nIce Cube's drug- and profanity-filled 'hood cult classic.\nGripping documentary, see it with your teens.",

        "title": "Why you are probably thinking about ransomware the wrong way\u2026",
        "raw_content": "Why you are probably thinking about ransomware the wrong way\u2026\nThe root of stopping the disruption caused by ransomware is not technology, rather it lies with human psychology. Dr. Sandra Bell looks at why this is the case and what factors organizations should consider.\nRansomware is now nothing new, but it\u2019s profitable, and hackers are still widely deploying it. Mitigating ransomware is actually fairly straightforward. If you have backups, if your network is segmented, really all you have to do is wipe the infected computers, and reimage them from clean backups. If you\u2019re prepared, the recovery can take place relatively quickly. However, although ransomware recovery is relatively straightforward for well-prepared organizations, successful attacks still cause disruption and stress. The best solution is to avoid ransomware attacks in the first place and to do this organizations need to stop focussing on technology and start looking to where the real key to the problem resides. It comes down to human psychology.\nHere are four things you need to know about ransomware if we\u2019re ever going to stop it.\nThe real target of ransomware might not be what you think\u2026\nIf you think your IT systems are the target of ransomware, you\u2019re not alone. But you\u2019re also not correct. Your IT systems are just the delivery mechanism. The real target is your employees.\nRansoms rely on psychological manipulation that IT systems aren\u2019t susceptible to. The systems are the prisoner being held for money.\nThe psychology of ransomware is complex, and the two main types \u2014 locker and crypto \u2014 use different tactics and are successful within different populations of people (more on this later).\nIt\u2019s not just a case of getting your workforce to abide by security rules and keep their eyes open for dodgy ransom notes (this just helps prevent the data and system from becoming prisoners).\nYou must recognize employees\u2019 unique psychological susceptibilities and design work practices that prevent individuals within your workforce from becoming attractive targets.\nWho is more likely to fall for ransomware?\nAs highlighted above, ransomware uses complex psychological tactics to get their targets to pay. The two main types of ransomware play off different psychological vulnerabilities.\nCrypto finds and encrypts valuable data and typically asks for a fee to unencrypt the files, often creating a time pressure for paying. Crypto plays on the \u2018endowment effect\u2019 in the victim, taking advantage of the value people place in what they own versus what they don\u2019t.\nIt also makes use of the Ellsberg Paradox by making it look like there is a certain, and positive, outcome if the target complies with the ransom demand (e.g., they get their data back), as opposed to an uncertain, and potentially negative, outcome if they don\u2019t (e.g., their boss will be mad and they may or may not lose their job).\nBy contrast, locker ransomware typically locks a system, preventing the target from using it and imposes a fine for release. It often works by deception, with the perpetrator posing as an authority figure who has supposedly identified a misdemeanour and uses the dishonesty principle \u2014 the conviction that anything you have done wrong will be used against you \u2014 to get you to comply with their wishes.\nThe effects of both these tactics are greatly amplified if the target is physically isolated from their colleagues and their organizational support network, or even if they perceive themselves to be.\nWhen you look at the victims of ransomware, they\u2019re often remote workers or people who associate themselves primarily with their profession rather than their employer (e.g., doctors, nurses, policemen, and so on).\nIf you\u2019re in an open-plan office and a ransomware screen pops up, you\u2019re likely to point it out to your colleagues before acting yourself. However, if you are in your home office or feel only loosely affiliated with your employer, you\u2019re more likely to take matters into your own hands.\nThe risk of ransomware can be reduced by fostering a corporate culture that reduces the feelings of real or perceived isolation.\nHow to short-circuit the entire value prop behind ransomware\nIf you\u2019re hit with ransomware, your data and IT systems are the ransom prisoners, held hostage until the perpetrators receive payment. But there\u2019s a crucial difference between your data and the traditional prisoner in a ransom scheme, like a person or an object of monetary value.\nData, unlike a person, is easily copied or cloned. When you think about it logically, hackers shouldn\u2019t be able to hold data for ransom by withholding access to it. If you always have a clean copy (or the ability to create a copy), there\u2019s no point in paying a ransom to have the original released.\nLikewise, it\u2019s now the norm to access our data through multiple devices, which means that locking one access route has limited impact.\nWhile the only option for goods and people is to deploy security measures to protect them, data and IT systems can be protected by duplication. It\u2019s not only cheaper, but also more practical.\nThe perpetrators could of course threaten to publicise sensitive data they hold to ransom, but this is technically \u2018extortionware\u2019 rather than ransomware.\nHow companies avoid becoming ransomware victims\nRansomware attacks aren\u2019t over when your systems get infected and locked down. When you launch your response and recovery, the attack is almost always still taking place, and you might have to shift strategies on the fly.\nAs any military commander will tell you, \u2018plans rarely survive first contact with the enemy\u2019. This means that if you only have a single response plan, without the means to deviate from it, your opponent will quickly learn what it is and overcome it. In short, you will become a victim.\nObviously, it\u2019s essential to have a solid backup strategy and business continuity and disaster recovery arrangements in place. But your response won\u2019t succeed unless you also have the crisis leadership skills and knowledge to adapt your response in real time. You must lead your organization through the complex, uncertain, and unstable environment that\u2019s created by a large-scale ransomware attack.\nHow do you stop ransomware?\nThere\u2019s no single solution to the ransomware problem. However, organizations that are most successful at managing the associated risks have taken advantage of features that data and IT systems offer to back up and protect their data, while recognizing that much can be done to safeguard their people from becoming targets.\nBy understanding the psychology behind ransomware and how it affects your employees, you can sidestep the risk of ransomware and avoid becoming the next victim.\nDr. Sandra Bell, Head of Resilience, Sungard Availability Services.",

        "raw_content": "Conservation of the Critically Endangered Chinese Crested Tern: Restoration of a Lost Breeding Colony\nIn the latter half of the 20th Century, Chinese Crested Terns (Sterna bernsteini) were presumed to be extinct, with no documented observations after 1937. In 2000, however, Chinese Crested Terns were rediscovered nesting in the Matzu Islands of the Taiwan Strait. Subsequent surveys by Chinese ornithologists revealed an additional breeding site in the Jiushan Islands of Xiangshan County, Zhejiang Province. Human disturbance \u2013 fisherman collecting eggs - later caused the abandonment of this colony. Despite their recent rediscovery, Chinese Crested Terns are still considered one of the most endangered seabird species in the world and one of the most critically endangered vertebrate species. Recovery of this species is possible, however, if nesting habitat can be established and protected. The goal of this project is to restore the Chinese Crested Tern to the Jiushan Islands, using techniques of social attraction and colony monitoring successfully applied to seabird restoration projects throughout the world. The specific proposal to the Wildlife Without Borders program was to fund the manufacture of Chinese Crested Tern decoys and solar-powered audio playback systems to play recordings of Chinese Crested Tern calls. Terns are highly gregarious colonial-nesting species which can be attracted to sites with suitable nesting habitat using decoys and recorded calls. This equipment would play an important role in the effort to restore Chinese Crested Terns to a former nesting area. The restoration project is a collaborative effort of several Chinese and American institutions (Xiangshan County Marine and Fishery Bureau, Zhejiang Natural History Museum, Oregon State University, and the U.S. Geological Survey \u2013 Oregon Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit). Support from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Wildlife Without Borders program has furthered this international collaboration to save one of the world\u2019s most critically endangered animals.\nChen, S., Z.

Outbreaks of Ebola, MERS-CoV, and other infectious diseases often steal global headlines perpetuating a stereotype that misrepresents current efforts to improve human and animal health in these regions. One effort that we can consider is the work of biosafety organizations. There are an increasing number of biosafety organizations in Africa and the Middle East, each striving to improve public health within their countries by raising awareness of the importance of biosafety and biosecurity. With the 59th conference of the American Biological Safety Association less than two days away, I take a look back at some conversations I had with leading biosecurity experts in these regions at the association\u2019s 58th conference. During our discussions, they shared personal stories about the impacts of biosafety in their countries and the role that they hope biosafety will play in creating a healthier world for future generations. Dr. Amjad Mahashneh, Dr. Atef Al Gendy, and Dr. Djibril Sangare are reminders that despite common perceptions, Africa and the Middle East are taking incredible strides to improve biosafety and biosecurity.\n\u201c[Biosafety] should be part of every institution or organization that carries out research.\u201d - Dr. Amjad Mahasneh\nDr. Amjad Mahasneh is an Associate Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Jordan University of Science and Technology.

The need for training is huge.\u201d - Dr. Atef Al Gendy\nPresident of the African Biosafety Association, Dr. Atef Al Gendy knows all too well the risks of poor biosafety and biosecurity practices. After a harrowing experience involving the injury of a lab janitor, Dr. Al Gendy made securing better training and professional development for anyone with laboratory access a top priority.\n\u201cWhat we are seeing will be a cascade training \u2013 a net in the water - to establish international collaborations about Biosafety.\u201d - Dr. Djibril Sangare\nWorking as the head of the Molecular Entomology and Vector Bioinformatics unit at the University of Bamako\u2019s Malaria Research Institute in Mali, Dr. Sangare has grown to understand how important international cooperation is in promoting and implementing effective biosafety and biosecurity practices.

        "raw_content": "ARSENAL will be in dreamland if Denis Suarez can adapt as quickly to English football as Gonzalo Higuain.\nThat is according to Gunners legend Ray Parlour, who believes it is a bonus that the Barcelona loanee knows Unai Emery well.\nSuarez joined Arsenal on a loan deal until the end of the season at the end of January but is yet to start for his new club.\nWhile Higuain - on loan at Chelsea from Juventus - bagged a brace on his second Premier League start for the Gunners' top-four rivals.\nSuarez has just three-and-a-half months to prove his worth to his new club.\nArsenal transfer news: Leandro Trossard eager to seal \u00a322m summer switch\nArsenal news: Henrikh Mkhitaryan reveals truth about \u2018Yo Pierre\u2019 video\nArsenal transfer news: James Hillson completes loan move from Reading\nWhen asked by Starsport if he has enough time to adapt to English football, Parlour said: \u201cWell, it\u2019s lucky if you get a player who suddenly comes into the side and he\u2019s away on the front foot. You do get players like that and everyone is hoping he can be the one. Other players might take a bit of time.\n\u201cI know there\u2019s not a lot of time left but there\u2019s still lots to play for. The Europa League is going to be important and fourth place is feasible but it\u2019s going to be difficult.\n\u201cA little bit like Higuain when he came in and scored two goals for Chelsea, you\u2019re hoping he can settle in quickly.\n\u201cI\u2019m sure the players will do the best they can to make him feel at home and it\u2019s all about how he adapts to the English game.\u201d\nRay Parlour hopes Denis Suarez can quickly adapt to English football after joining Arsenal (Pic: COMEON/GETTY)\nDenis Suarez has made two cameo appearances off the bench for Arsenal (Pic: GETTY)\nSuarez has made two cameo appearances for Arsenal of the bench since arriving on transfer deadline day.\nThe 25-year-old received some criticism from Gooners for his debut in the 4-2 defeat at Manchester City.\nWhen asked about Suarez\u2019s debut, Parlour said: \u201cIt was OK. It was a difficult game to come into.\n\u201cYou\u2019ve got to give him time, he\u2019s only a young lad.\n\u201cThe good thing about it is he\u2019s played under the manager before so the manager knows exactly what he can bring to the team which is so important. He did well under him.\n\u201cI thought he was a good bit of business. I was hoping for a defender as well, to be honest, but that didn\u2019t come around. He\u2019s a young, exciting player and you\u2019re not going to be a bad player if you\u2019re playing for Barcelona. I know he couldn\u2019t get into the side but he\u2019s got to be half-decent for them to even think about buying him.\n\u201cEmery, who he\u2019s worked with before, thinks he can settle into English football. I think we\u2019ve all got to give him a chance now.\u201d\nGonzalo Higuain bagged a brace on his second start for Chelsea (Pic: GETTY)\n\u201cA little bit like Higuain when he came in and scored two goals for Chelsea, you\u2019re hoping he can settle in quickly\u201d\nArsenal legend Ray Parlour on Denis Suarez\nSuarez signed a contract extension with Barcelona before heading out on loan, which has been viewed as an attempt by Nou Camp bosses to extract a bigger transfer fee in the summer.\nArsenal have an option to land Suarez on a permanent basis but Parlour is unsure whether it is a given that the loan deal will be turned into a full-time arrangement.\n\u201cBarcelona have been very clever with what they\u2019ve done,\u201d he said. \u201cThey\u2019ve given him a new contract, bumped his money up a little bit and suddenly he\u2019s worth more money to them.\n\u201cThey\u2019re playing the game and they\u2019ve got the right to do that. It\u2019ll be interesting to see what happens.\nHenrikh Mkhitaryan reveals his dream has come true at Arsenal\nRay Parlour was speaking on behalf of ComeOn! (Pic: COMEON)\n\u201cI don\u2019t know what sort of fee he\u2019s going to be in the summer. Obviously, it\u2019s up to how he does now in the next three or four months to see how he adapts and how he can fit into the side.\n\u201cYou know Aaron Ramsey\u2019s leaving at the end of the season, we don\u2019t know about [Mesut] Ozil so you need other midfielders. That might be a possibility if he does really well.\n\u201cIt\u2019s all down to how he does and what sort of fee he\u2019s going to be. If it\u2019s going to be a ridiculous fee then Arsenal will probably be looking elsewhere.\u201d\nFormer Arsenal and England midfielder Ray Parlour is the brand ambassador of ComeOn!

        "raw_content": "Home | Cosmetic Dentistry | Dental Restorations\nMissing, damaged or decayed teeth can be remedied through dental restorations. Various types of dental procedures are classified as restorations, such as fillings, crowns, bridges and dentures. If you are experiencing dental issues, make an appointment with Dr. Langer, D.D.S, at his Brooklyn office. Dr. Langer has more than 25 years of experience in dentistry, and he quickly be able to determine the problem, possible causes, and ways to treat your dental discomfort.\nBelow are explanations for the most common types of dental restorations.\nFillings \u2013 Like most other restoration, fillings are used when a tooth It decayed or broken. Fillings are available in several materials: Gold, Silver, and Tooth Colored Plastic.\nCrowns \u2013 These serve as a cover for a tooth, and also known as \u201ccaps.\u201d Crowns match the shade and shape of the appropriate tooth, and are customarily used to secure a bridge or dental implant in place.\nBridges \u2013 This is a very literal name for a dental restoration- bridges technically \u201cbridge\u201d gaps created by missing teeth. Permanent cement holds them in place.\nImplants \u2013 Dental implants often go hand in hand with crowns. A dental implant is a small piece of metal rod inserted into the root of a missing tooth, which is then customarily covered with a crown to bring that tooth in line with the others.\nDentures \u2013 Dentures are designed to function like your normal teeth, but they are actually removable. This dental restoration is comprised of resin, and they look like \u201creal\u201d teeth- the materials have been developed and improved to create more of a normal looking mouth than ever before with dentures. It\u2019s not always necessary to have full dentures, if the patient has some teeth, partial dentures can be used. These are held by metal clamps and attached to the patient\u2019s original teeth.\nThe type of Dental Restoration needed is up to your Dental Professional. Dr. Langer will work with you to choose the best type of Dental Restoration needed. Dental Restorations require the same care as you would your normal teeth. Just like your normal teeth functionality, the remedies mentioned above can still chip, break, come loose, or become stained and discolored. There are a number of factors that determine how long your specific dental restoration will last. The type of restoration, the location of it within your mouth, your personal hygiene routine and other things will affect the lifespan of your restoration.\nNot only do dental restorations reestablish proper tooth function for chewing and speaking, but they also improve the way your mouth looks, to yourselves and to others, minimizing or eliminating self-consciousness. Dental fillings are used to not only restore proper tooth function for chewing and speaking after decay, injury or some other factor, but they also improve the appearance of the mouth, leveling the tooth to match the rest of your teeth.\nLooking for more information on the various types of Dental Restorations available by Dr. Langer? Contact us to at our Brooklyn office to schedule an appointment- call at 718-339-6544. Dr. Langer will work closely with you to find the best possible option available to relieve your discomfort and improve the health of your mouth.",

        "raw_content": "Only strong leadership that can take on vested interests will bring the reforms needed to stop China stagnating in a middle income trap.\n\"With the rise of China, we are observing the geopolitical equivalent of the melting of the polar ice caps. Slowly the ice thins, cracks appear and one day a large sheet of ice spectacularly peels away. If captured on cameras the world momentarily sits up and pays attention before CNN returns our gaze to the drama of the Islamic State's most recent atrocity.\"\nThe author of this China metaphor is Australia's former prime minister, Kevin Rudd. He penned it earlier this year in a study he was commissioned to write on Chinese-American relations for a Harvard institute.\nHowever, the metaphor is certainly apt for a political system that has recently jailed for life one of China's most powerful figures, Zhou Yongkang.\nZhou had for years occupied a prime spot on China's Politburo Standing Committee, the elite group at the top of the country's government pyramid. His incarceration was briefly revealed in the official newspaper this month after sentence had been passed. No details of the charges have been released. All that we know is that he was charged with corruption, while his life sentence was for treason - to which he had pleaded guilty.\nZhou is the largest \"sheet of ice\" so far glimpsed in what has to be one of the most politicised and extensive anti-corruption campaigns in history.\nThe targets in this drive are what President Xi Jinping described as the \"tigers and the flies\"; that is the high- and lower-level officials in the Communist Party, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) and the state enterprise system.\nIn 2014 alone, 68 top officials and more than 70,000 lower level officers were investigated for violations of anti-graft rules. About 36 tigers have been brought to trial.\nAmong those arrested were senior officials regarded as being close to former Party General Secretary, Jiang Zemin, who at 88 remains a figure of considerable influence. Jiang supported Xi for the presidential post.\nThe anti-corruption purge has maintained its momentum into 2015. In the first three months, the chief of military intelligence was removed from office. Dozens of PLA officials including 16 generals were placed under investigation.\nAt the same time President Xi has moved to centralise his power by establishing additional policy groups in charge of national defence and the military, state security, cybersecurity and information, and one rather cryptically referred to as being \"responsible for deepening reform comprehensively\". President Xi heads each of these new groups.\nOne obvious conclusion to draw from Xi's centralisation of power in his hands is that he is the most powerful Chinese leader since Deng Xiaoping, perhaps even Mao Zedong.\nAt one level, the need for structural reform of China's economy actually requires a powerful leader capable of taking on the vested interests that have flourished under the protective umbrella of the Communist Party for the last 60-odd years. Xi was well known and respected as a technocrat as he climbed the slippery ladder of Chinese politics. What has come as a surprise has been the methodological way in which he has implemented his political strategy, which appears to have outflanked the complex, bureaucratic and interconnected political structure.\nOne of the primary drivers of this political system has been to prevent the emergence of a Mao-like dictatorship.\nIt would be easy to dismiss Xi's anti-corruption drive as being a convenient vehicle with whichhe is rounding up his political opponents. While there is doubtless more than a grain of truth in that description, there is also the reality that institutionalised corruption imposes an enormous brake on a Chinese economy that is struggling to avoid the middle-income trap that, if sprung, would condemn China to \"developing economy\" status.\nRead the full article: China's whole future is at stake in anti-corruption drama (subscription required)",

        "raw_content": "Max Walsh, 23 April 2015, The Australian Financial Review (subscription required)\nThe International Monetary Fund's role has morphed several times since its founding. Now it is in the driver's seat on Europe, confronting the vast challenge of stagnating and ageing developed economies.\nThe Australian Parliament back in 1945 debated the wisdom of joining the Bretton Woods agreement that involved the creation of five international financial institutions. Led by the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, the Bretton Woods institutions would regulate and supervise the international banking system. Put simply, these institutions were to make sure we would never again have a financial crisis such as we experienced through the Great Depression of the 1930s.\nEddie Ward, the long-serving Labor member for East Sydney, opposed the bills, arguing: \"Bretton Woods would enthrone a world dictatorship of private finance, more complete and terrible than any Hitlerite dream; destroy Australian democracy; pervert and paganise Christian ideals and endanger world peace.\"\nLast weekend the IMF released its World Economic Outlook survey. Ward was wrong, again. Far from being the ogre institution predicted by Ward, the IMF that emerged from the pages of its latest outlook was lost and confused - discombobulated even.\nThe IMF's role has changed since the days when it was regarded by the Eddie Wards of the world as being part of a global conspiracy responsible for the Great Depression. Back then its most important role was supervising the foreign exchange system to ensure currencies traded in a fixed relationship to other members of the IMF's universe. Should a currency be under market pressure to devalue, the IMF stood ready to maintain fundamental equilibrium. It did so by prescribing the appropriate fiscal policies. If needed, funds would be advanced.\nThat role came to an end in the early 1970s when US president Richard Nixon simply closed the gold window, refusing to sell France US dollars at the fixed rate of $US35 to the ounce.\nWith the floating of the world's currency exchange system, the IMF had to find itself a new job. An opportunity opened up almost immediately when the oil producers of the Middle East created a cartel in 1960 that quadrupled the price of crude. Global markets were soon awash with petro-dollars looking for safe havens and steady interest returns.\nWhile the private banks competed for the petro-dollar business, the IMF found little competition for being the lender of last resort on the buy-side of the oil market. All this liquidity soon created inflationary pressures around the globe with consequential impact on exchange rates.\nIn 1979 oil prices were trebled, thereby enlarging the flood of petro-dollars, many of which found their way, with the particular help of Citibank, to Latin America. Citibank was run by a Will Rogers-style banker called Walter Wriston, who explained his bold Latin American lending with the remark: \"Countries don't go out of business \u2026 and that's very different from a company.\"\nRead the full article: The IMF has never been as important, or as lost (subscription required)\nYounger Australians need access to super funds to help them buy a home",

        "raw_content": "The Intersection of Food and Health\nI have been standing at the corner of food and health for about 25 years.\nDuring that time I have seen a lot come and go. Low-fat diets, while seemingly founded in good research, have been debunked. We have eliminated trans-fats, and margarine (those that contain trans-fats), once the recommendation of doctors and dietitians, is now known to promote heart disease. We have seen a dramatic rise in obesity during that time that I feel is directly linked to sugar sweetened beverages and the easy availability of inexpensive, calorie dense, nutrient-poor food.\nI have always felt somewhat alone in my practice. Yes, I am a chef and a physician - and that's a unique combination. Granted, there were pockets of folks writing about great food as it relates to health and how we should be incorporating that into the day-to-day practice of medicine. We were not, however, in the mainstream. Talking about food in medicine was something of a lonely practice. We have always had great traffic at DrGourmet.com, but it has always been strange that my chef colleagues have not seen the value of health in food and my physician colleagues haven't seen the value of food in medicine.\nThat's changing. In a big way.\nThere are more and more physicians who understand the impact of food on both prevention and treatment of disease as well as organizations who focus on the importance of lifestyle in the practice of medicine. The great thing for you, Dr. Gourmet readers, is that this is now offering patients the ability to find and select a physician that cares about their health in a way that most doctors don't (yet).\nYou can start with the American College of Lifestyle Medicine. Physicians who belong to the ACLM are lifestyle focused. We have clear evidence of the impact of diet and exercise on preventing as well as helping treat disease, and that is the central focus of the ACLM. Start here to find a provider near you: http://lifestylemedicine.org/search\nThe American College of Preventative Medicine is more focused on research and academia, but their mission is to \"Promote the specialty of Preventive Medicine and Preventive Medicine physicians to assure an appropriate supply and demand of properly trained physicians to deliver effective and efficient health and health care.\" That makes sense, and there is, of course, overlap with the ACLM, but the more the merrier, right? In addition to that mission they also have a weight management certification program as well as initiatives in adolescent medicine. You can follow them on Twitter at https://twitter.com/ACPM_HQ and their blog is great: https://ajpmonline.wordpress.com. Look for physicians who are fellows in the College. They will have the designation FACPM behind their M.D..\nThere is also the National Board of Physician Nutrition Specialists who have a similar but somewhat more clinical mission. Their mission is to \"Develop a long-term plan to increase the pool of PNSs and surmount obstacles that currently impede the incorporation of nutrition education into the curricula of medical schools and primary-care residency programs.\" They have a physician finder on their web site as well.\nRecently I connected with a group that is working to act as a roundtable for these lifestyle issues in medical education. The goal is to make sure that educators have access to the various resources we need to offer curriculum and lifestyle education at medical schools. Their vision is that \"medical schools teach lifestyle medicine as an integral component of their curricula\" and that \"Medical schools will provide an array of evidence-based curricular resources for prevention and treatment of lifestyle-related diseases throughout medical education including core curricula, lifestyle medicine competencies woven into existing curricula, additional electives, rotations, and scholarly concentrations.\" The collaborative is especially exciting to me: http://greenvillemed.sc.edu/LifestyleMedicine.shtml\nHere at Tulane University we have the first teaching kitchen operated by a medical school, and the first full-time chef on faculty to teach lifestyle change from a food-first perspective. You can follow the Goldring Center for Culinary Medicine on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/tusomkitchen. An important component of that will be our new certification program for physicians in culinary medicine: http://www.culinarymedicinecertified.com.\nThis has been a slow evolution, but I am particularly excited to see how far this concept has come as well as the directions that it is going. Physicians have had a lot of great tools in their toolbox, but the ability to discuss substantive lifestyle issues in a way that can have a tremendous impact has lagged.\nIt's certainly nice to have others standing at the corner of food and health. It doesn't feel so lonely any longer.",

        "raw_content": "Home Local Spotlight Addiction Treatment Centers in Elko Prioritize Integrated Approach\nNewly established opioid addiction treatment centers in Elko, Nevada have been focusing on implementing programs that prioritize an integrated approach to care.\nThe establishment of the addiction treatment centers was made possible because, about a year ago, Nevada officials and healthcare professionals gathered to outline a number of key goals that had the potential to curb the impacts that opioids have had on the state. Then, Gov. Brian Sandoval, one of the many officials who has been vocal about working to combat the problem of opioid abuse in Nevada, announced that the state had been the recipient of a federal grant of approximately $5.7 million.\nAbout $2 million of the grant was designated to the establishment of new addiction treatment centers and recovery programs to serve the population of individuals with opioid use disorders.\nState officials recently announced the names and locations of the healthcare providers who would be running the new addiction treatment centers \u2014 one facility will primarily serve the north of the state, one will be serving the southern region and one is located in the city of Elko.\nThe primary focus of the addiction treatment center in Elko is to prioritize an integrated form of opioid use disorder program.\nThe integrated opioid addiction treatment program features a number of medical professionals such as counselors, case managers, psychiatrists, nurses and peer recovery specialists who have all battled a substance use disorder themselves.\nThe addiction treatment centers are also required to have the ability to offer a series of medical services to the patients in recovery including primary care screenings, psychological rehabilitation, and crisis response assistance.\nAccording to the representatives of the center, the grant went almost entirely to covering structural increases and staff expansions that are qualified to provide integrated opioid use disorder assistance to patients.\nAnother effort that looked to address the effects of the opioid epidemic in the state was launched by the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services and the Southern Nevada Health District. The agencies joined forces to create the Nevada Opioid Dashboard, a digital tool with visually enhanced data that allows the public to learn more about the epidemic across all different areas of the state.\nThe latest data provided by the dashboard revealed that in 2016 Elko County had a higher rate of drug overdose emergency department visits than the rate observed in the entire state \u2014 respectively with a rate of 144.40 per 100,000 residents in contrast to 137.60 per 100,000 residents. The tool also revealed that Elko County had the highest rate of hospitalizations associated with drugs and the second highest rate of drug-related deaths in the state that year.\nThe funds for the implementation of the new addiction treatment centers and programs were provided by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration through its State Targeted Response to the Opioid Crisis Grants initiative, which bases capital distribution on the rates of opioid overdose deaths as well as the public\u2019s unmet necessity for addiction treatment services.\nPrevious articleSpotsylvania Addiction Recovery for Veterans Supported by Court Program\nNext articleResearchers Try to Predict the Genes that Predispose People for Addiction\nPolice Chief Overdoses on Drugs He Stole from Evidence Room\nInpatient Drug Detoxification Center in Mansfield to Break Ground\nAddiction Treatment Programs in San Joaquin Valley Expand to Help Students",

The 7.5-magnitude tremor also triggered a tsunami wave up to 10 feet (3 metres) which struck Talise Beach in Palu and parts of the nearby Donggala coast.\nThe situation remains fluid and the authorities are currently faced with limitations in fully assessing the extent of the damage and disruption. Power cut and telecommunications outage have been reported in Palu. Palu\u2019s Mutiara SIS Al-Jufrie Airport (PLW) is due to fully reopen on 4 October, but is currently serving limited commercial flights.\nDamage has also been reported in Donggala (Central Sulawesi) and Mamuju regencies (West Sulawesi); however, details of the extent of impact are not yet available.\n- Continue to defer non-essential travel to Palu city and Donggala regency in the coming days while the full extent of damage and disruption still remains unclear.\n- Those on essential travel should ensure that they maintain flexible itineraries as short-notice and intermittent disruption to travel due to aftershocks can still occur, potentially lasting several days. Ensure you have access to sufficient cash and accommodation, with ample supplies and robust infrastructure.\n- We do not hold information on specific flights. Reconfirm the status of flights with the relevant airport or your airline. Your travel agency can assist with alternative arrangements if your flight is cancelled.\nFor the latest information and advice, International SOS members are advised to contact their Assistance Centre, register for email alerts and review the travel security updates on Travel Security Online and through the International SOS Portal.",

Picture: ORWELL SOCIETY\nMontague House in High Street was the family home of George Orwell \u2013 whose real name was Eric Blair \u2013 from 1932-39.\nThe Grade II-Listed house, which is privately owned, already has a plaque in place to recognise his residence there, but the Orwell Society has now submitted an application for a fresh plaque because the old one is crumbling.\nThe listed building consent application, submitted to Waveney District Council, is currently in the consultation phase but is likely to be unveiled later this spring if approved.\nBarrow-based firm FA Valiant & Son Ltd has been commissioned to carry out the work.\nAnn Kronbergs, trustee of the Orwell Society, said the plans had been lodged with the blessing of the home\u2019s owner.\nShe said: \u201cThe lettering now is completely unclear and because it is crumbling Portland stone you cannot see it. Therefore it\u2019s time to be given a more legible sign.\n\u201cIt\u2019s really important to commemorate the presence of George Orwell, Eric Blair, at that particular house.\n\u201cI am particularly keen to revive interest in the importance Southwold people and places had in the life led by the young Eric Blair because it was a very formative part of his life, and the time he spent there was very important for his initial stage as a writer.\u201d\nThe home was where the author, noted for works such as Nineteen Eighty-Four and Animal Farm, resided following his service in Burma. First editions of his travel writing Down and Out in Paris and London were sent to Montague House, while his second novel A Clergyman\u2019s Daughter was completed there.\nMrs Kronbergs said that some of Southwold\u2019s influence made it into his work.\nKnype Hill is the fictional name for Southwold in A Clergyman\u2019s Daughter, while the character of Dorothy Hare is modelled on the gym mistress at St Felix School in the early 1930s, Brenda Salkeld.\nThe character of Julia in Nineteen Eighty-Four is also rumoured to be based on Eleanor Jacques \u2013 a friend who lived next door to the Blairs when they lived in Stradbroke Road, when they first moved to Southwold, although the origin of this is debated.",

Even when talking about cloud, there is no such thing as \u2018the cloud\u2019 since many different cloud services run on various platforms owned and operated by different suppliers.\nThe world of data integration is becoming more and more complex every day as a result of trends and developments including cloud brokerage, Internet of Things (IoT), API Management, Integration Service Providers, B2B Gateways, Web Services, AS2, VANs and Transaction Delivery Networks.\nWhen the amount and variety of information shared grows exponentially, security becomes a bigger concern.

        "raw_content": "A New Era for Ann Arbor Youth Writers\nBy Anthony Zick. August 1, 2017.\nNeutral Zone alums Adam Falkner, left and Angel Nafis, both currently professional writers in New York City, returned to The NZ to teach a writing workshop in celebration of the Literary Arts leadership transition.\nby Anthony Zick August 1, 2017 Leave a comment\nFor the young voices in Ann Arbor\u2019s dynamic literary arts community, the Neutral Zone has reached a defining moment. After 18 years as founder and director of the NZ\u2019s highly successful and nationally influential literary arts program, Jeff Kass (now Current\u2019s Assignment Editor) is relinquishing the reins to Molly Raynor, a former student and early Ann Arbor youth poetry superstar. Over the years, Kass created enduring programs such as the VOLUME Youth Poetry Project, the Ann Arbor Youth Poetry Slam, and Poetry Night in Ann Arbor, and oversaw the development of the NZ\u2019s independent publishing company Red Beard Press. Though he\u2019s sad about leaving the post, Kass believes it\u2019s time for a younger person with a fresh vision to take over and he couldn\u2019t be more excited about the direction he believes Raynor will take the program.\n\u201cHaving the chance to have Molly return to the city is a huge stroke of fortune for Ann Arbor. She\u2019s an absolute force as both an artist and educator with a powerful ability to bridge divides of race, class and ethnicity and bring all kinds of people into the same space to share their stories,\u201d Kass says. \u201cI can\u2019t imagine a better person for the job.\u201d\nAn enhanced commitment to Literary Arts\nJust as significant as Raynor\u2019s taking over is that the NZ is making the Literary Arts Directorship a full-time gig. According to Lori Roddy, NZ\u2019s Executive Director, \u201cI think the Neutral Zone has this amazing opportunity to expand its reach to more young people. I would really like to see us build strong school-based partnerships and infuse Literary Arts in high schools and we need a full-time person.\u201d Raynor returns to town with a sterling reputation, having co-founded and, for ten years, led the youth performing arts program RAW Talent, in Richmond, California, a city plagued by tragic gang violence. There, she ran after-school creative writing programs and worked with teengaers to advocate for an end to the hostilities. The efforts culminated in the award-winning documentary Romeo is Bleeding, a film about former student\u2019s updated version of Romeo & Juliet to bring unity to the Richmond community. \u201cWe never had more participation in VOLUME than when Molly was here [in the early 2000s],\u201d Roddy says. \u201cMolly consistently shows up in a community, [and] engages people at a high level.\u201d\nWhen the NZ held a farewell party for Kass, several of his former students read poems in his honor.\nAs each poet took the stage, it became more and more clear just how many lives Kass has changed. For nationally renowned NYC-based poet and educator Adam Falkner, \u201cit wasn\u2019t until being in Jeff\u2019s classes and having the opportunity to belong, that I felt like poetry could really be something for me.\u201d\nMolly Raynor, new NZ director of literary arts (left) poses with NZ alum Evelyn Hollenshead\nRaynor\u2019s vision for the future includes preserving traditions that Kass has created and using her full-time status to enhance those traditions even more. \u201cThat\u2019s one goal,\u201d she says, \u201cto try to use this extra capacity to build on partnerships and relationships and outreach to kids who maybe have never heard of the NZ.\u201d Beyond this foundation, Raynor has a lot of dreams. One is the idea of \u201chaving some workshops that are specific to different demographics.\u201d For example, there could be \u201cone workshop for queer-identified youth, and then one workshop for women and gender-non-conforming youth, and one workshop for youth of color\u201d in addition to the workshops open to everyone. \u201cYou can sometimes write a lot more freely,\u201d Raynor says, \u201cwhen you feel surrounded by folks who share some part of your identity.\u201d\nRaynor also likes the idea of making the VOLUME Summer Institute (a week-long writers\u2019 workshop held annually at the NZ) a sleep-away summer camp somewhere in Northern Michigan.\nSince she was sixteen, Raynor \u201cwanted to make young people feel the way VOLUME made me feel,\u201d she says. \u201cTo be able to have done that in a different place and then come back and give back to the community that raised me and made me who I am is a huge blessing.\u201d\nThe Neutral Zone is @ 310 E. Washington St. in downtown Ann Arbor.\nTo find out more information or to support the Literary Arts Programs call 734-214-9995 or visit neutral-zone.org.\nArts & CultureFeatureLitLit - Feature",

Who doesn\u2019t want to be their own boss, right? This is why so many people are opening a small business rather than working for corporations once they get a small business degree. They not only have the freedom to do work that they have a passion for, but they also do not have a cap on how much money they can make during their career. This is why an increasing number of students are now going to small business school and getting small business degree instead of taking the traditional MBA route when it comes to business education.\nSmall Business Salary Information\nHow much you will make running a small business is dependent on many factors.

        "title": "Teaching Secrets: Take Charge of Your Classroom - Education Week Teacher",
        "raw_content": "Teaching Secrets: Take Charge of Your Classroom\nBy Gail Tillery\n\u201cIf he were my teacher, I\u2019d make him cry,\u201d remarked a sophomore at my high school after a teacher we\u2019d just hired did a \u201cshadow day.\u201d Although I didn\u2019t share that specific comment, I did reiterate to our new colleague that classroom management would be his biggest challenge. And so it was.\nAs mentoring coordinator at our large suburban high school, I\u2019m in charge of inducting about 25 teachers a year. The teachers of most concern, of course, are the ones I affectionately dub the \u201cbaby teachers\u201d (though not to their faces). Usually, these novice educators are very young\u2014most have just graduated from college\u2014and they are still feeling their way in life, much less in the classroom. Suddenly they may find themselves standing in front of a room filled with 35 seniors, some of whom are only three years younger than they are. In many cases, the disaster is coming on fast.\nThe first day of teaching school is something that must be experienced to be believed. Novice teachers think they are ready, but they are not. Based on years of working with these wonderful young people, I present the following advice.\nWhat happens on the first day will happen on the last day. This means you must decide in advance what you want your classroom atmosphere to be. What will a typical day look like in your room? In order to make your vision happen, you must have a concrete, simple plan. Harry Wong\u2019s excellent book, The First Days of School, is an invaluable resource for setting up routines that will allow your daily learning activities to function efficiently.\nYou are the king or queen of your room. Students this age will act as if they want to be in charge. They don\u2019t. They are looking to you to set the atmosphere and the agenda. Be their leader instead of letting them run the show. This means setting boundaries, making consequences clear, and following through if necessary. Your students do not need a new friend. They need a teacher\u2014and a leader. It\u2019s your responsibility to take the point position and lead them where they need to go.\nDress the part; act the part; speak the part. Particularly when you are young, you must set yourself apart from your students. I have actually advised young female teachers to buy some suits and cut their hair. And yes, for males, ties are a must. Professional clothing not only makes you look more mature and in charge; it makes you feel that way. Don\u2019t even think of flip-flops. Ever. And never use the word \u201clike\u201d except as a verb. Even then, question its use!\nAct the part, Part II: Take down your Facebook and your MySpace pages. Period. They will find it. Do not discuss your private life with your students\u2014especially if you choose to drink. While they cognitively understand that it\u2019s legal for you, they\u2019re not experienced enough to filter it. Thus, they will say: \u201cBut Ms. Smith drinks, so it must be cool.\u201d\nRealize that you are a public figure. Understand that, while in my generation, your name was discussed at the ball field, this generation of students (and parents!) will be discussing you online and via text. As your first-period students leave the classroom on the first day of school, they will text on their way to second period about you. You\u2019re a new teacher, which makes you interesting to them. What do you want them to be saying about you, in 140 text characters or less?\nLet go of your need to be liked. Novice high school teachers want so badly to be popular with their students that they lose sight of the truth that teaching is not a popularity contest. My favorite TV show ever is M*A*S*H, and one of my favorite scenes involves Major Margaret Houlihan and a young, wounded G.I. He\u2019s in pain, afraid, confused, and very far from home. As she gives him a sponge bath, he says furiously, \u201cI hate your guts!\u201d To which she very calmly replies, \u201cMy guts are not here for you to love.\u201d Adopt this sentence as your motto, and believe it in your heart. Understand that you must earn your students\u2019 respect; 99 percent of the time, their love will follow.\nAfter 24 years of teaching, the best compliment I ever received continues to be this: \u201cShe\u2019s tough, but she\u2019s fair.\u201d Show me a teacher who has a sense of her own power in the classroom, and I\u2019ll show you students who feel safe and comfortable and who are learning to their utmost because there\u2019s no drama and chaos in the room. Understanding that you are the leader will make your experience, and your students\u2019 experience, a pleasant and rewarding one. And you won\u2019t be suicidal at Thanksgiving.\nGail Tillery is mentoring coordinator at a suburban high school in northeast Georgia.",

        "raw_content": "History of East Gwillimbury Public Library\nIn 1890, the Queensville Library was formed, although this first location is vague. In 1893 the library opened in a shop owned by Wright Fogg. The Library later moved to a tiny building located across the street from the present day Queensville United Church. In 1898, the Mount Albert Library opened in the back of W.T. Lloyd\u2019s Drug Store. It remained there until 1912 when it moved to an upstairs room in Mr. Allen Theaker\u2019s store. In 1919, it moved again to a south room in the home of Mr. Carl Moorhead where it remained until 1932. It then moved to The Odd Fellows building.\nIn December of 1974, East Gwillimbury Public Library was established by Town By-Law and Board Members were appointed as of January 1st, 1975. The Mount Albert and Queensville Libraries were dissolved and became branches of the newly formed East Gwillimbury Public Library. Members of the new Library Board were Mrs. Mary Pegg, who was instrumental in forming EGPL, Mayor Gladys Rolling, Mr. Mackenzie Porter, Mrs. Mary Slingerland and Mrs. Gail Kay.\nIn 1975, the Mount Albert Branch moved from the Odd Fellows Hall to the bottom floor of the Community Centre on Main Street. In April of 1980, Mount Albert Branch was moved to Main Street in a building formerly used as the Fire Hall. A new Mount Albert Branch opened on October 25th, 1998 in the Mount Albert Leisure Complex, now re-named Ross Family Complex.\nIn 1976, the Queensville Branch was housed in a tiny building on Main Street near the General Store. That same year, the Library was moved to the Queensville Community Centre and the original tiny building was moved to Sharon, where it is preserved as the entrance to the historical Sharon Temple Museum. In 1992, on April 28th, the Queensville Branch closed.\nIn 1975, the Holland Landing Branch opened in a small room on Bradford Street and in early 1985, moved temporarily to a location on the west side of Yonge Street in the plaza. In the fall of 1985, Holland Landing Branch moved across the street to its present location in the Community Centre, located at 19513 Yonge Street.",

        "title": "4 Advantages of Choosing a Local Bank for Your Business Loan \u2013 Eight 7 Teen",
        "raw_content": "If you are a new business owner or already an established one, you have to know that there will come a time when you will need additional financing.\nUnfortunately, this doesn\u2019t only happen once throughout the run of your business. If there is an urgent need for supplies, to purchase important equipment, or to pay off an outstanding balance and you don\u2019t have enough funds, the best solution is to apply for a business loan.\nWith dozens of large banks, credit unions, and online financing companies offering a variety of funding solutions, it can be hard to find the right institution to get a loan from.\nHowever, bigger is not always better, especially if you are only looking for a small business loan. If you compare the pros and cons of big banks versus local ones, you will find that local commercial banks will actually be more beneficial for your financing needs.\nBelow are four noteworthy advantages of securing a business loan from a local bank:\n1. The decision makers are local\nOne of the top benefits of applying for a business loan from a local bank is that the key decision makers are local. This means that they understand the needs of the local market better.\nLocal banks will base their decision to approve a business loan on more than just your credit score; they will also rely on their local knowledge. They will look into your company\u2019s history within the community, the current standing of your business, and other important factors.\nIn addition, since the decision makers are local, you can talk to them if you feel that you need to explain your requirements better or to have access to other banking products.\n2. Faster turnaround time\nSince the people making the decision for loan approvals are not based in some far-off city or country, you can expect to receive feedback about your application in a shorter period of time.\nFor a business owner, time is money.\nIf you do not get a decision about your application quickly, you will not be able to buy the supplies or equipment you need to start making sales and profits. You won\u2019t be able to apply for a loan in a different lending institution immediately as well.\nWhen you apply for a loan at a local bank, you don\u2019t have to wait for a long time to know the decision. They will give you the advantage of being able to take the necessary actions more quickly so that you can resume normal operations and start earning money again.\n3. Local banks offer more personalized services\nInternational banks have a strict approach to lending that many promising businesses that don\u2019t fit the prescribed mold will have no chance of getting their loan approved.\nLocal banks, on the other hand, have less stringent requirements. They do not set specific criteria for the types of collateral they will accept and the applicant\u2019s financial ratios.\nIn addition, local banks take a more personal approach with their customers.\nWhenever you visit the office or get in touch with them by phone or email, you will be treated as a person and not just as an account number.\nLastly, local banks are also more flexible with the loan amount they grant and payment terms as well. They will really take the time to truly understand your business and offer you the services you need.\n4.

        "raw_content": "How CrossCheck can combat the perils of plagiarism\nFor many journals, this software is now indispensable. Discover why they wouldn\u2019t be without it and how integration into EES will further streamline the process for checking papers\nBy Dr. Laura Schmidt and Dr. Gaia Lupo Posted on 1 December 2013\nAt Elsevier, we receive around a million articles per year for publication in our journals. Unfortunately, a small percentage fails to meet our ethics guidelines and nearly 50 percent of those cases are suspected plagiarism.\nTo help address this issue, in 2008 we joined CrossCheckTM, a collaboration between major publishers and CrossRef\u00ae to prevent plagiarism, simultaneous submission and multiple publication. That enabled us to incorporate into our editorial workflows iThenticate, the software that powers CrossCheck. For many journals, this software is now indispensable \u2013 more than 800 Elsevier journals have iThenticate accounts, and editor usage of the software is up 41 percent on last year.\nFeatures of iThenticate\nPrevents plagiarism by detecting textual similarities which could indicate misconduct.\nCompares full-text manuscripts against a database of 38+ million articles from 175,000+ journals, books from 500+ publishers, and 20+ billion webpages.\nUse can be tailored to meet a journal's needs: screening at the submission phase, pre-acceptance phase, or on an ad-hoc basis when allegations are raised.\nThe main function of iThenticate is to identify the textual overlap of a manuscript against CrossCheck's growing database of published works and internet sources. Such software can only be as good as the database it uses, and this is a large part of the reason that iThenticate is so successful \u2013 CrossCheck's database is arguably the most complete and up-to-date of its kind available, with major publishers and societies contributing full-text content to it.\nEditor-in-Chief of Information and Software Technology, Professor Claes Wohlin, has been using iThenticate since 2010. He said:\n\"iThenticate helps in identifying textual similarity, but it is very important that the editor uses a sound judgment on the similarities found. It depends very much on whose text is reused and in which part of the paper. There's a big difference between similarities in the research methodology descriptions and the actual research findings.\"\nAn encouraging thing to see is that journals adopting a screening policy can observe an increase in desk-reject rates (rejecting papers without sending for review) and faster decision times, along with an improvement in the quality of papers sent out for review. For example, at Journal of Materials Processing Technology, thanks to the huge efforts of a strong and dedicated editorial team, desk rejections for scope, quality and plagiarism are now at 78 percent, while editorial times from submission to first decision went from 4.8 weeks in 2009 to 3.5 weeks in 2012.\nUse of iThenticate can also lead to other, less obvious benefits. Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications Editor-in-Chief, Professor Richard Aron, has found that:\n\"iThenticate helps not only in identifying plagiarism, but also in suggesting possible referees that have been overlooked, or at least not mentioned, in the citations.\"\nA version of this article was first published in Elsevier's Editors' Update (Issue 41, November 2013)\nLaura, a Publisher for Mathematics, joined Elsevier in 2010 as a Managing Editor for a physics journal. She is currently a publisher for mathematics journals, and frequently works with editors to support and assist them in handling plagiarism and other misconduct cases. Earlier, she held a postdoctoral research position at the University of Twente in The Netherlands after receiving her PhD in Physics from the University of Chicago in 2008.\nGaia, a Publisher for Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering, joined Elsevier in 2011 as a Managing Editor after graduating from the University of Perugia in Italy with a PhD in Mathematics. Gaia is currently working as a publisher and is responsible for a portfolio of 16 journals across the areas of manufacturing processes and systems. Her role includes defining and implementing journals' long-term strategies and being the primary contact for editors seeking advice on publishing and ethics issues.",

Y'all know how much I appreciate memories so you can imagine how excited I was to hear of a meme all about writing our memories!\nThis week's prompt is: My Husband.\nI'm going to sit this one out, y'all, and just enjoy all of your posts.\nI will not, however, be sitting next week's post out. Because we get to write about our children. And y'all know how I love to do that. :)\nBTW, lovely hostess, I cannot comment on your blog for some reason. But I am reading your posts!\nYou know, I can't comment on her posts either, from work. I can from home, but not from work. When I catch up on my lunch hour, I just can't post a comment. Crazy.\nI wonder what the deal is with that? I can't post comments from work or at home on her blog. Hope we get it figured out. Though, I have to say, I'm glad it's not just me messing something up. LOL\nInteresting. I can comment, but I don't see all the people who link. Teri, yours never show up. I just look for you on my own.\nWill be looking forward to reading about your children. I know it will be good.\nCuriouser and curisouser. :) Thanks, I always enjoy writing about the lovelies. :)\nThe topics for the meme may not always be suitable for everyone however I am so pleased to have you participate. As for comments not showing up I think it has something to do with controls that are placed on the systems by employers. I also have trouble when I travel. Look forward to next week.\nI can't find where to comment on your blog whether I'm at home or at work. So, I'm not sure what's going on there. I've enjoyed reading everyone's posts this week! It's very nice to see how many folks actually met and married their soul mates! Thanks so much for hosting this!\nRory Bore December 15, 2014 at 11:32 PM\nthere seems to be a lot of trouble commenting lately. I am noticing it tends to be between Wordpress and Blogger blogs quite a bit. hopefully it's something that will be resolved. Exchanging comments is the cornerstone of making blogging connections!\nLooking forward to next week's post.\nAh, maybe that's it. I don't know. I do know that it's not on everyone's blog that I'm having trouble. I'm hoping it will be resolved as well. :)\nIt's tough to find meme topics that always fit. I think the more open ended the topic is the better. Of course that doesn't work all the time either.\nTrue. Of course, next week I won't be able to stop writing. LOL\nI sat this one out too!\nI hear ya, girlfriend. :)",

        "raw_content": "Home People Literature and the Arts Russian and Eastern European Literature: Biographies Mikhail Vasilevich Lomonosov\nThe Russian chemist and physicist Mikhail Vasilevich Lomonosov (1711-1765) proposed advanced scientific theories, but the diversity of his activities and interests hindered him from gaining widespread recognition.\nMikhail Lomonosov was born on Nov. 8, 1711, in the village of Denisovka. There being few opportunities for education in his native village, he ran away at the age of 19 to Moscow, where he entered a theological seminary and began to study for the priesthood.\nHaving displayed outstanding abilities as a scholar, young Lomonosov was chosen in 1735 to attend lectures given at the Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg. This experience changed the whole direction of his career. The St. Petersburg Academy was at this time promoting a series of studies on the material resources of Siberia for which it needed trained chemists and metallurgists. From 1736 to 1741 Lomonosov studied these subjects in Germany, first at the University of Marburg, where he gained a thorough grounding in the basic sciences, and later at the famous mining academy at Freiburg.\nOn his return to Russia, Lomonosov became a member of the St. Petersburg Academy, and the remainder of his life was devoted almost exclusively to its affairs. He soon emerged as the contentious leader of the group of native Russian scientists in the academy opposed to the clique of foreign members, largely German, who had been imported into its membership at its foundation to stimulate Russian science. In 1745 he was appointed professor of chemistry at the academy, where he built a chemical laboratory for instruction and research. Here he gave one of the earliest courses in practical instruction in chemistry.\nAlthough Lomonosov published much on various aspects of physics and chemistry, his works were mainly in the form of dissertations with a limited circulation. His many activities seem to have prevented him from completing many of his projects, and much of his original work was never published.\nLomonosov's physical and chemical work was characterized by its emphasis on the use of atomic and molecular modes of explanation. In a century when most scientists regarded heat as material substance, he argued that heat was in fact a form of motion\u2014the result of the motion of the molecules which constitute matter. His essentially physical approach to chemistry led him to place great emphasis on quantitative measurements. In this he was certainly ahead of his time, although the claims that he anticipated Antoine Laurent Lavoisier in stressing the conservation of mass in chemical reactions and recognizing the chemical role of air in combustion are certainly exaggerated.\nLomonosov's other scientific interests were electricity, light, mineralogy, meteorology, and astronomy. He observed the transit of Venus in 1761 and concluded that Venus had an atmosphere \"similar to, or perhaps greater than that of the earth.\" He also made significant contributions to the philological study of the Russian language, including the development of a scientific vocabulary, and wrote a controversial history of Russia.\nAlthough Lomonosov was a man of immense talent, his creative energies were somewhat thwarted by his domineering nature and quarrelsome disposition. He died from influenza in St. Petersburg on April 4, 1765.\nA highly laudatory biography is by the famous Russian chemist Boris N. Menshutkin, Russia's Lomonosov: Chemist, Courtier, Physicist, Poet (trans. 1952). See also Mikhail Vasilyevich Lomonosov on the Corpuscular Theory, translated with an introduction by Henry M. Leicester (1970). The literary and cultural background of Lomonosov's work is given in Hans Rogger, National Consciousness in Eighteenth-century Russia (1960). Scientific aspects are discussed in Alexander Vucinich, Science in Russian Culture: A History to 1860 (1963). \u25a1\n\"Mikhail Vasilevich Lomonosov.\" Encyclopedia of World Biography. .

Lomonosov was the son of a prosperous fisherman. Concealing his peasant background, he obtained an extraordinarily broad education. He was chosen by the St. Petersburg Academy to study the sciences and philosophy in Germany. In 1741 he received a lifetime appointment to the Russian Academy of Sciences. In his experiments he anticipated such modern principles as the mechanical nature of heat and the kinetic theory of gases. To promote education, Lomonosov wrote a history of Russia (1766) and a Russian grammar (1755). In his poetry he adopted tonic versification, thus altering the character of Russian prosody. For his reform of the Russian literary language he chose an idiom midway between the Old Church Slavonic and spoken Russian.\n\"Lomonosov, Mikhail Vasilyevich.\" The Columbia Encyclopedia, 6th ed.. .

        "raw_content": "Malik Nisar January 12, 2018 Sports No Comments\nPickleball is a racket sport that combines elements of tennis, paddle, badminton and table tennis. It is played with a racket and a perforated plastic ball on a badminton court\nOver a tennis net. Pickleball is usually played in doubles but also in singles for those looking for a bigger challenge. It\u2019s an all-season sport that can be played both indoors and outdoors\nThe popularity of pickleball is booming in North America and other countries due to a wide range of factors. Sport is very fun to play for all ages and levels of play, from beginner to champion. The rules, equipment and dimensions of the game create a unique sport that provides long and dynamic exchanges throughout the game. In pickleball, the placement and tactics of the ball game are more important than the power and speed. But the Best Pickleball Paddles have more power control speed and spin. Those who have good hand-eye coordination and a good understanding of the strategy of this sport can compete effectively with more agile and powerful opponents.\nA short history of Pickleball\nThe sport was established in the United States in 1965 on Bainbridge Island near Seattle, Washington. The creators of pickleball aimed to design a new sport that would be fun, challenging and that everyone could play. They started playing with table tennis paddles and a plastic ball. At first, they put the net at the height of a badminton net and played on the fly over the net. Over time they found that the ball bounced well on a solid ground surface, so the net was lowered and the rules evolved to become the sport we know today as a pickleball. Legend has it that Pickle (Gherkin) was the family dog \u200b\u200band kept running behind the ball. The creators, looking for a name for their new game,\nThe basic rules of Pickleball\nPickleball is played on 11 points. The first side scoring 11 points and leading by at least 2 points marks the victory. If both sides are tied at 10 points, then the game continues until one side wins by two points. Points are scored by the service only team and counted when there is an opponent\u2019s foul (do not turn the ball, hit the ball out of bounds, etc.).\nThe ball is served up and down without bouncing off the ground. The arm must be moving in an upward arc and the racquet head must be lower than the wrist when it hits the ball. The ball must pass over the net without touching it and land in the adversary\u2019s service square located diagonally across the server. A server is entitled to only one service (no double mistakes as in tennis). The server continues to serve, alternating service squares, until the serving team loses a rally.\nReading: Fashion Island of Thailand\nDouble Bond Rule: Following the service, each side must make at least one ground stroke before taking the ball on the fly (the ball is struck before it hits the ground). In other words, the player receiving the service can only return the ball after it has bounced. In addition, the serving team must let the returned ball bounce before returning it. After these two restrictions (double jump rule), the flights are allowed without restrictions.\nNo- Fly Zone (ZNV)\nA player cannot volley a ball if he stands in the ZNV. The ZNV extends 2.13m on either side of the net (see the terrain dimensions below). A foul will be declared if, during or after a volley, a player touches the unobstructed area or any line of the ZNV. A player may return a ball from within the unobstructed area if the ball has bounced first.\nThe official pickleball rules as prescribed by the International Pickleball Federation (IFP) are available on their web page.\nPickleball Equipment Pickleball \u2013 Rackets Pickleball\nRacquets are lightweight and easy to handle. They are larger than those used for table tennis. They are usually made of wood, aluminum or a high-tech composite. The racket prices range from 20 to 100 Euros.\nThe size of a racket cannot exceed a combined \u201cwidth + length\u201d of 61cm. A typical size is 40 cm (height) by 20 cm (width). There are no restrictions on the thickness or weight. The average weight of a pickleball racket is around 240g.\nSome surface and core materials are not allowed in the composition of a pickleball racket. Materials that produce either a trampoline effect or an additional spin effect are prohibited by the International Pickleball Federation (IFP).\nReading: Things to do in Millan\nThe pickleball is played with a light plastic punched ball that is slightly larger than a tennis ball. An official pickleball ball measures between 7 cm and 7.5 cm in diameter and weighs between 22g and 26g. There are no color restrictions. The ball must have a rebound of about 75cm to 95cm in the event of a fall of a height of 190 cm on a concrete floor.\nThe ball shown on the left is normally used for indoor play and the ball on the right for outdoor play. The main difference between balls is the size of the holes. The holes on the outdoor ball are smaller to minimize the effect of wind by reducing air penetration into the ball during flight. However, all approved balls are allowed for both indoor and outdoor play. A complete list of approved bales is available on the IFP website.\nThe pickleball net is similar to the nets used for tennis. The width of the pickleball net is\n6.7m. Its height is 91.44cm on each end of the net (where it connects to the posts) and 86 cm in the middle.\nPickleball can be played using either a fixed or portable net. Fixed pickleball nets have poles permanently planted in the ground surface. Portable pickleball nets are designed for quick packing and are easy to assemble and remove, as well as easy to carry in a suitable 1m long bag. This makes it possible to play pickleball anywhere on a flat, hard surface.\nField The pickleball field can be set up indoors or outdoors on any kind of hard and flat surface. The pickleball field is exactly the same for singles and doubles, measuring 6.1m wide by 13.41m long. It\u2019s the same size as badminton doubles, one-third the size of a tennis court.\nThe recommended minimum space around the ground is 3m on each bottom and 2m on the sides. This space is essential to allow the player\u2019s movements safely. Thus, a total playing surface of 10m by 20m is recommended.\nReading: Ten Towns of Spain\nThe Pickleball in the World\nThe popularity of pickleball has exploded over the past decade, largely due to the creation of the Pickleball USA Association ( www.usapa.org ) in 2005. Currently, it is considered the sport that is experiencing growth in the world. Faster in North America. The number of pickleball fields, clubs, clinics (meetings organized to improve its game) and competitions are growing exponentially. The popularity of pickleball spread to Europe and Asia and it quickly became a world sport.",

        "raw_content": "How Billion Rand Business USN Was Launched From A Small Kitchen\nUSN might have started small, but Alb\u00e9 Geldenhuys had big plans. It\u2019s taken him 15 years, but he\u2019s built a business that has an international footprint, he\u2019s left both local and international competitors in his dust, and he\u2019s done it through a mix of savvy decisions, costly mistakes, and never slowing down \u2013 not for one minute.\nPlayer: Alb\u00e9 Geldenhuys\nCompany: USN\nWhat they do: Sports nutrition and supplementation\nGroup turnover: R1 billion\nVisit: usn.co.za\nThe Start-up Story\nStarting Small, Thinking Big\nLesson one, when you launch a business, know where you want to go. For Geldenhuys, who had consistently been the Health & Racquet Club\u2019s top performing salesman (by a long margin), chasing and achieving targets isn\u2019t just a vocation, it\u2019s his life\u2019s blood.\nRelated: 10 SA Entrepreneurs Who Built Their Businesses From Nothing\nEven the name he gave to his fledgling business marks this mindset: Ultimate Sports Nutrition (USN) was chosen because of the US in its name.\n\u201cAt the time, there was a perception that US brands were the best. I wanted to capitalise on that, and the name subtly suggested an international product.\u201d\nLike any truly successful entrepreneur, Geldenhuys is a consummate salesman, and he understood from the get go that businesses need to be trading. \u201cAt first, I wasn\u2019t even thinking about launching a product line, or even a business. I just wanted to be selling product and making a small profit.\u201d\nHe bought two product ranges wholesale, Muscle Science and EAS, and sold them to health shops. \u201cThe problem was that I started getting complaints. Muscle Science wasn\u2019t a great product, and EAS was a pricey US product.\u201d\nGeldenhuys spotted a gap in the market. \u201cWhat was interesting is that this was already a busy market. It was small and saturated, so there wasn\u2019t really room for another competitor. The available products were either too expensive, or poor quality. I was convinced that if I offered a good quality product at an affordable price, I\u2019d have a shot.\u201d\nAnd USN was born. \u201cI researched formulations in magazines and through supplement reviews. At the time Creatine was a big deal, so I bought barrels of it from Crest Chemicals, bought bottles, mixed my formulations and bottled it.\u201d\nHe started selling to everyone: Friends, people he\u2019d met at the Hatfield gym, and most importantly Blue Bulls rugby players who also worked out at the gym. \u201cI targeted anyone. I had no strategy beyond just sell, sell, sell,\u201d he recalls.\nRelated: Karl Westvig Of Retail Capital Shares His Insights Into A Year-On-Year Double-Digit Growth Business\nThe \u2018non\u2019 strategy worked though, because soon supplement shops started contacting Geldenhuys directly, particularly the in-house Health & Racquet shops. Word spread: If you wanted to buy good quality sports supplements at an affordable price, Alb\u00e9 was your guy.\nBootstrapped Basics\nAs a start-up, USN was a money-in, money-out business. \u201cI could only buy raw materials as and when I had the cash. Everything we made went back into product. We kept our overheads incredibly lean, and just focused on growing sales, and having enough product to meet demand.\u201d\nThe entrepreneur was thinking about how to scale the business\u2019s growth. He realised that just manufacturing and packaging the best product at a reasonable price, with a diverse offering wasn\u2019t enough.\n\u201cMaking sales always goes back to the same key question: What do your consumers really need from you? At first, the answer to that question was a good product at an affordable price. We experienced rapid growth based on simply meeting a need in the market. But we wanted to be bigger, and that meant expanding our market. So I needed to ask the question again.\n\u201cNow what do our consumers need from us? The answer was simple. They needed to understand how to use our products. The demand was there, but most people weren\u2019t actually sure how to use sports supplements properly. That was our in. We started educating the market, adding meal plans to our packaging, and focusing on telling people how to use what, and what the results would be if our various products were used correctly.\u201d\nBy January 2000 USN was still operating from the kitchen. It had a turnover of R20 000 a month, and enjoyed a 60% gross profit, largely because it had no overheads, and the product sold below retail prices.\n\u201cWe were proud of our turnover, but I was focused on the next step,\u201d says Geldenhuys. \u201cI approached ChemPure to assist with the products. I had market research, they had the raw materials.\u201d\nRelated: How the Mad World Group Grew the Smart Way\nChemPure was housed within the CSIR, and agreed to incubate the still-small USN within its premises. It was a game changer for the start-up. They moved out of the kitchen, and within four months had grown their turnover from R20 000 to R160 000 a month. From that moment, USN started doubling its turnover every month.\nGeldenhuys, his brother and girlfriend (soon to be wife) were a tiny team on fire. One of the key secrets to Geldenhuys\u2019s success at this stage was that he always got paid. He made sure invoices were sent timeously, and he followed them up relentlessly until the cash was in the bank.\nGrowing in Leaps and Bounds\nSince its inception, USN has enjoyed massive growth. From R20 000 a month turnover in January 2000, by the end of 2002 the product was in Springbok Pharmacies and Dis-Chems around the country, and monthly turnover was in the millions. Geldenhuys had achieved this feat without splashing out any cash on big advertising campaigns.\nAnd then he got his first real curve ball. In early 2003, Dis-Chem bought a 50% stake in Evox, one of USN\u2019s biggest competitors. Dis-Chem was USN\u2019s biggest customer, so the move shook Geldenhuys to the core, as he knew Dis-Chem would promote Evox.\n\u201cI was always stingy with money. I liked a nice healthy bank balance. We\u2019d enjoyed massive growth without spending anything on marketing, and that was the way I liked it. But I also knew it was time to spend some of our hard-earned cash to build brand awareness. It was time to advertise.\u201d\nTrue to form, Geldenhuys wasn\u2019t just going to splash some cash around and hope it worked. He was going to be strategic about his marketing spend.\n\u201cAlways look at yourself, and what you bring to the table. I had some great contacts in rugby thanks to my sales background at the Hatfield Health and Racquet club. This was my in.\u201d\nRelated: How Bertus Albertse Overcame Adversity To Build A R80 Million Franchising Business\nGeldenhuys approached Jaco van der Westhuizen, a Blue Bulls player who had been injured and was out of shape. \u201cI made him an offer. \u2018If you get into fantastic shape, using my products and sticking to a strict health routine, I\u2019ll put your face everywhere \u2013 in Men\u2019s Health magazine, on billboards \u2013 everywhere. You\u2019ll get noticed. Everyone will be talking about you\u2019.\u201d\nWithin seven weeks van der Westhuizen went from flat and white to an athlete in incredible shape. \u201cThe transformation was unbelievable, and we made a huge splash of it. He was the talk of the town.\u201d Within three months van der Westhuizen was on the Springbok team.\n\u201cIt did wonders for both our brands. He was also our first USN brand ambassador.\u201d The first of many. Geldenhuys soon realised that his business was long past start-up stage. \u201cSpending money made us more money. We were creating more demand than ever before. People were talking about us. Turnover grew, profits grew and the business grew.\u201d\nGeldenhuys\u2019s strategy to ensure Evox didn\u2019t steal his market share was two pronged. He needed to send buyers into stores looking for the product, and once there ensure USN was the brand they actually bought.\n\u201cWe returned to a strategy that we knew worked: People need to know how to use your product. The more consumers know, the more likely they are to buy, but the more the assistants in the stores know, the more likely they are to recommend your products, and so we trained the guys in stores. They must know more about USN than Evox. Period.\u201d\nWithin six months the relationship between Evox and Dis-Chem ended. Evox had relaxed its marketing efforts, expecting Dis-Chem to sell for them, and Dis-Chem had done the same, expecting Evox to put in the work and prove the ROI of the acquisition.\nThe real winner was USN, which had used the challenge as a reason to up its game and focus on cementing an even bigger section of the market.\nThe Downside of Growth\nIn many respects, the business grew too fast. \u201cI had my finger on everything: Stock, our warehouse twice a day, finance. I even stuck labels on bottles if I had to. By 2004, our sales were excellent, but our back-end was a mess. We\u2019d grown too big for our structures.\nI wanted to focus on product development, advertising and sales. I didn\u2019t want to be MD as well, but I knew we needed a detail-orientated person to focus on putting proper systems and processes in place. I appointed one of my managers, Johan Visagie, a lawyer friend who was excellent at the details, to be MD.\n\u201cI\u2019m an autocratic leader. I tell everyone how things are going to happen, and they make them work. I\u2019d go so far as to say that I rule by fear. My team listens to what I say, and the structure was always clear. Johan was a mild-mannered, diplomatic HR guy.\nRelated: How to Become a Millionaire by Age 30\nWhere I had been a firm task master, Johan was a gentler and friendlier boss, trying to operate within a framework that I had created. The company culture didn\u2019t know how to adjust and we ended up losing some great people as a result.\n\u201cThe second problem was that although I needed a strong MD, Johan had previously worked under me. He didn\u2019t come into the role and immediately embrace it as a position of equal footing. He didn\u2019t push me or challenge me. I started feeling very alone in my own business.\n\u201cWe\u2019d enjoyed phenomenal growth, but I\u2019d gone from knowing every single little detail in every spreadsheet, to walking through our own warehouse and feeling lost. I needed a strong partner who I could bounce ideas off and who would give me honest feedback. My MD told me what he thought I wanted to hear, instead of what I needed to hear, or what was actually happening in the business.\u201d\nAs Visagie got more involved in the business, Geldenhuys\u2019s feel for the numbers started slipping as gradually a distance opened up between him and the daily operations of the business.\nRelated: Slikour\u2019s Moto: If You Dream It, You Can Be It\nIt would take five years, Visagie stepping down and a new CEO (whose name we\u2019ve chosen not to mention in this article) at the helm before the implications of that separation from the numbers would really make itself felt.\n\u201cIn 2010, based on our market presence and massive sales figures, PSG approached us with an offer to purchase. I had no intention of selling \u2013 in fact, I\u2019ve always believed that if someone approaches you to sell, it means you\u2019re doing something right \u2013 but I invited them in to do an audit anyway.\u201d\nThe results were devastating. \u201cThey discovered R12 million in stock losses. My CEO had projected a profit of R28 million, and instead, we had lost R12 million. It was unbelievable.\u201d\nWhere Had Things Gone So Wrong?\n\u201cI had completely taken my eye off the ball, putting all my trust into our CEO while I continued to focus on sales, product development and launching USN overseas.\u201d\nThe CEO in question had originally joined the business to head up a new sports drink division. He\u2019d been an executive at Coca-Cola, and he understood the market.\n\u201cUp until that point, we\u2019d been pumping money into the new product but it wasn\u2019t really working, and we were losing a lot of money. When he joined us he was exactly what I thought I needed: A silver back with lots of business experience. He talked an excellent game, and I thought we could benefit from his expertise.\u201d\nHe soon went from running the drinks division to being appointed sales director. And then he left due to a job offer to run Coca-Cola in Kenya. \u201cI was disappointed to lose him; I had really started to rely on him,\u201d says Geldenhuys, which is why, when he wanted to return to the business \u2013 but this time as CEO \u2013 Geldenhuys readily agreed.\nRelated: Surprising Things 5 Entrepreneurs Do in Their Lunch Breaks\n\u201cJohan had served the business well, but I believed that a new CEO would be a better fit for the growth path I wanted to take USN on, so I agreed to his terms, he joined us and Johan stepped down.\u201d\nIt would prove to be the single biggest and most expensive mistake Geldenhuys would make. \u201cThere were so many issues it\u2019s almost painful to list them,\u201d he says.\n\u201cHis first hire was a drinks director who arrived and then two months later had a big back operation and was off for six months. He hired a financial manager who was indiscreet with salaries, which also cost us a lot, because we had to suddenly increase a number of salaries to keep staff.\n\u201cHe had a penchant for employing people from big corporate backgrounds who wanted to follow the corporate systems that they knew. We had always done so well because at heart we were a small, agile, flexible entrepreneurial business and not a corporate. We were losing that magic.\nRelated: Quinton van der Burgh on Changing the Game\n\u201cThe most unexpected development, was how this man whom I liked and trusted to be the CEO that my company needed, suddenly became power hungry and started abusing his role. I\u2019ve always believed that it\u2019s good to put pressure on people, but you can\u2019t treat them badly.\nWorst of all, he was making mistakes. He over-ordered products we had discontinued. He was running the business, and yet he had no idea what was happening in the business. He was over his head, but hiding it well as he talked a good game.\u201d\nAnd then PSG came along and revealed just how far the rot had spread. \u201cAt the time, our turnover was R300 million, with a projected profit of R28 million, which I was already unhappy about \u2013 where had our great margins gone? Then PSG came along and said, sorry, you\u2019ve actually lost R12 million in stock, and you\u2019re making no profit.\n\u201cI was floored. I\u2019d put a lot of faith in my CEO. But I also realised I\u2019d been a bit of an ostrich with my head in the sand. There were so many things I couldn\u2019t control that I didn\u2019t want to see what was actually going on. It was time for change.\u201d\nThe Billion Rand Question\nIn 2010, USN had a high turnover, but the business was in shambles. Despite its size, failure was a real possibility \u2013 but not an option for Geldenhuys. One of the PSG auditors, Jurie Bezuidenhout, wanted to join the business.\n\u201cHe had a private equity background and he really understood financials. He felt he could help me effect a turnaround. I also had an excellent sales manager who was about to leave because of the CEO.\nThings suddenly clicked into place for me. With a strong sales director, chief financial officer and myself focusing on the products, we could turn this business around, without an MD or a CEO.\n\u201cR10 million and an unpleasant fight later, we parted ways with the CEO. Next was our head of logistics. We had massive stock losses and our efficiencies had dropped. We started out with service levels of 95%, which meant that 95% of our stock reached the shelves where it was meant to go. Under the helm of our new logistics manager, this dropped to 72%. It cost me six months\u2019 salary to get rid of him, but it was worth every cent.\u201d\nNow the business went back to basics.\nRelated: Edward Moshole Founder Of Chem-Fresh Started With R68 And Turned It Into A R25 Million Business\n\u201cWe\u2019re not a logistics company. We never will be. We need to focus on what we\u2019re good at, and outsource the areas that we\u2019re clearly not good at. We got UTI Pharma in to run the logistics side of our business. We sold the warehouse and all of our trucks. We had to retrench staff, which is never easy, but ultimately we needed to make decisions for the good of the business.\n\u201cToday, we focus on developing products and marketing. As soon as we went back to our roots we started making more money, and more profits \u2013 and the refreshed focus allowed us to focus on international growth.\u201d\nThe proof is in the figures. Since 2010 USN\u2019s turnover has grown from R300 million to R1 billion, and with the brand having launched in the UK in 2009, Australia in 2012 and the US in 2015, that growth is set to continue into the stratosphere.\nRelated: Watch List: 50 Top SA Black Entrepreneurs To Watch\nSelf-Made Millionaire At 24 Marnus Broodryk On How To Build A R1 Billion Business\nLichaba Creations Founder Max Lichaba\u2019s Inspiring Journey To Entrepreneurial Success\nClaire Brandon\nI always thought this was an American brand.\nGood lessons about not trusting anyone in business, I was just thinking about that this morning \ud83d\ude42\nHello, I found this information for you: \"How Billion Rand Business USN Was Launched From A Small Kitchen\".

        "raw_content": "New study explains how organs coordinate their development with the whole body\nIMAGE: This image shows tubes containing fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) used in this study. view more\nCredit: Roberto Keller (IGC).\nThis news release is available in Portuguese.\nA research group led by Christen Mirth at Instituto Gulbenkian de Ci\u00eancia (Portugal) uncovered that the development of wings in fruit flies does not progress synchronously with the organism's development. Instead, it is coordinated with the whole body only at distinct 'milestones'. This study, published in the latest issue of the scientific journal PLOS Genetics*, helps explain how an organism facing environmental and physiological perturbations retains the ability to build correct functional organs and tissues in a proportional adult body.\nFor a growing organism it is essential to have robust developmental processes ensuring that the developing organs and tissues are formed correctly even in the face of environmental or physiological perturbations. To achieve robustness, the processes that generate individual organs must, at some level, be integrated across the whole body to ensure that a correctly patterned and proportioned adult is produced at the end of development. Christen Mirth and colleagues proposed to study how organ and whole-body development is coordinated, using the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, as a model organism. The juvenile period in the fruit fly comprises three larval moults, followed by a wandering stage where larvae leave the food and search for a site to begin metamorphosis at a stage called pupariation. The research team focused on these so-called developmental events to study how the development of wings is coordinated with the whole body of the fruit fly larvae.\nThe researchers first analysed the expression of six genes involved in the development of wings in normal conditions of growth, i.e. at a temperature of 25\u00baC, and generated a detailed staging scheme. Next, the researchers changed the temperature to affect the growth conditions of the larvae and analyzed the rate of wing development compared to the whole-body development. It is known that flies grow faster at higher temperatures and grow slower at lower temperatures. However, the researchers observed that the development of the wings was slower at 29\u00baC, compared to flies growing in normal conditions or flies growing at 18\u00baC. \"This result surprised us, as we could clearly observe a delay in the development of these wings in wandering stage larvae, but their progression accelerated towards the stage of pupariation. This means that development shows variability in its progression, but converges at the milestone of pupariation\", explains Marisa Oliveira, first author of this study.\nNext, researchers modified the larval physiology by interfering with the hormone ecdysone that regulates the different developmental events in the larvae, such as wandering and pupariation. Similar to the temperature manipulations, when they altered the timing of ecdysone synthesis, they found that the wings developed slowly at first, but accelerated their development to achieve coordination at the stage of pupariation.\nThese results support the hypothesis proposed by this research team, that the development of the wings, in the fruit fly, is aligned with the whole-body development at two milestones: moulting and pupariation.\nMarisa Oliveira concludes: \"With this work we propose a new paradigm for thinking about organ-organ and organ-body coordination during development. We suggest that organisms achieve this coordination not by continuous but rather by discrete communication focused on developmental milestones\".\nChristen Mirth adds: \"The next challenge is to understand the nature of this communication at milestones.\"\nThis research was conducted at Instituto Gulbenkian de Ci\u00eancia (Portugal) and funded by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation (Portugal) and Funda\u00e7\u00e3o para a Ci\u00eancia e a Tecnologia (FCT, Portugal).\n*Oliveira, M.M., Shingleton, A.W., Mirth, C.K.

Santander bank will take over the Royal Bank of Brazil and the Italian bank Antonveneta at a cost of around 19,850 million euros. RBS, will pay around 27,200 million for their share in the company and Fortis will pay around 24,000 million for their share in ABN Amro.\nThis operation is significant for Santander because it means taking a lead role in Italian banking which is a difficult market for foreign companies to break into.\nSantander which is led by Emilio Bot\u00edn is hoping to introduce some new banking practices and improve the efficiency of Antonveneta which it hopes will lead to improved profits.\nAntonveneta is the 7th largest Italian bank and the 6th most important in the north of the country where most of Italy\u2019s wealth is generated. It is considered to be an excellent platform from which to develop the market for mortgages and loans.\nSantander is also strengthening its position in the Brazilian financial market where it already owns and controls Banespa, the 6th largest bank in Brazil. It will now be the 3rd largest company in terms of offices and the volume of lending.\nBot\u00edn said that the purchase of ABN Amro was one of the largest operations the bank had ever undertaken and that the purchase of the Royal Bank of Brazil was the jewel in the crown.\nRelated: Santander Bank profits soar after Abbey takeover # Santander Bank announces new profits\n:economic and business news\nCervical Cancer Vaccine will be available in Spain by the end of 2007\nETA claims responsability for small explosions in Madrid\nTsunami earthquake aid",

        "raw_content": "Numerology tells us a lot about what to expect in any given year. The current year, 2018, adds up to 11, i.e. 2 + 0 + 1 + 8. Eleven is a Master number. Its vibration helps us to move from illusion to illumination; much that has been previously hidden comes to light. This is a year of truth-seeking and of taking a stand. For instance, we have already witnessed less tolerance in both political and sports arenas.\nThe Master number 11 when reduced and added together gives a base number of 2. The 2 brings a desire for peaceful co-operation, helping create balance in our lives as the year progresses.\nTo find the month vibration we add the month and year together. For June we add 6 to the current year. 6 + 2 + 0 + 1 + 8 = 17. We then reduce 17 to a single digit by adding these two numbers together. 1 + 7 = 8.\nThe keyword for 8 is stability. Much will be achieved by taking one step at a time. Try to avoid power struggles, both at work and in relationships.\nJuly has a number 9 vibration. 7 + 2 + 0 + 1 + 8 = 18. 1 + 8 = 9. The 9 energy is dynamic and delivers greater vitality. Make the most of this fast-paced month of action and activity. Take your kids camping or use any opportunity to spend time outdoors. Play team sports, socialise and entertain. Relationships may be intense and passionate.\nNumber 9 is the culmination of all the numbers from 1 \u2013 8, and as such signals completion. July is therefore a great time to tie up loose ends, push through to finalise a project, or finish that piece of Artwork that\u2019s been sitting around. This is a time of endings, rather than beginnings.\nJeanne Prosser | Numerologist and Author\nJeanne Prosser Numerology | Stand E10\nFive Top Tips to Make the Most out of the EveryWoman Expo",

        "raw_content": "School uniforms are a favourite of parents, faculty, and staff at schools all over the world. They\u2019re able to eliminate the need for students to compare themselves with each other as well make fun of one another for not wearing the latest and greatest trends. While school uniforms have many benefits, a lot of students don\u2019t really care for them too much. It\u2019s extremely difficult to maintain your own sense of individuality while dressed the same as everyone else but there are certainly ways to achieve it. Keep reading to find out how you or your children can add a bit of personality to their school uniforms while still being within the codes of conduct set forth by the administration.\nBecome Familiar with the Rules\nYou want your children to be able to have their own individuality but you also want them to follow the rules. Make sure that you read the rules very carefully before allowing your child to accessorise his or her school uniforms. Most schools have no problem with accessories and some even allow changes to the uniform itself; however, you had better make sure before allowing your child to go to school in something that is against the rules.\nA Little Change Goes a Long Way\nIf the school allows changes that don\u2019t permanently modify the uniform that the school wear suppliers have provided, then go for it! Add a pin or a nice brooch to bring a touch of personality to the uniform. You could also attempt to add new buttons to the clothes as well!\nAccessories Are Your Friend\nOne of the greatest tools at your disposal is accessories. You can truly incorporate your own sense of style through your accessories. Put on a great necklace or a bracelet. Add some rings. Even decorate your hair with ribbons or barrettes. If accessories are the only change that you can make, then go wild with it and get creative!\nDon\u2019t Forget to Decorate Your Belongings\nJust because you have to wear a uniform doesn\u2019t mean that your bag or books do. Decorate your bag with pins and other little trinkets. You can also decorate your books by covering them in wrapping paper! Add some inspirational song lyrics or quotes; this way, you\u2019re always reminded of who you are.\nIt can be tiring wearing the same thing to school every day. That much is obvious. But wearing school uniforms really does have benefits for the students as a whole. There\u2019s absolutely nothing wrong with adding a little bit of creativity to your uniforms just as long as you\u2019re within the boundaries that the school has put in place. It\u2019s definitely important to be who you want to be but you have to remember to be respectful while doing it.",

        "raw_content": "Giovanni Ferraris: being original, since 1985\nThe company was established in 1985, and today, experience and work, as well as imagination and quality, combine together to produce a series of extremely eclectic collections, always choosing to be unconventional, rather than obvious and basic.\nThe love for originality has emerged since the early years, when Giovanni Ferraris specialised in the production of jewellery watches. Later, he turned his talents to jewellery and devoted himself to reasearching and experimenting, and to technical and formal innovation.\nLooking at the workbenches where he learned his job, and that he left to run his company, Giovanni Ferraris claims he is a genuine craftman working in his workshop, and making every single thing in-house.\nBeing born in the land of jewellery has bolstered Giovanni Ferraris\u2019s passion for the goldsmith\u2019s art since a very early age. After working as an apprentice in a number of workshops, and obtaining his diploma in jewellery design, he established the company bearing his name at the age of 21.\nSince the beginning, Giovanni Ferraris has shown his very inventive taste, choosing coloured natural stones as essential elements to enhance his designs.\nJewellery timepieces\nIn the early years, Giovanni Ferraris specialised in the production of jewellery watches, an activity requiring great technical competence. This terrific practice allowed him to improve his manual and technical skills.\nHis abilities progressed and the name of Giovanni Ferraris gained prestige and reliability. These qualities were necessary to conquer new customers and satisfy special and customised requests for precious objects such as writing tools.\nAn eclectic style\nGiovanni Ferraris\u2019s creative spirit keeps being eclectic and imaginative. His wife Katia became the supervisor of designs, ranging from jewellery to timepieces, in different geometrical shapes and colours.\nHard work, much travelling, countless meetings, and the participation in big international fairs and events led the brand Giovanni Ferraris to begin exporting, building and consolidating its reputation on the European markets as well as in the Middle and Far East, in Japan, Russia and Eastern Europe.\n\u201cOne has to know the rules well, to break them in the right way.\u201d Giovanni Ferraris expanded his catalogue, deciding to create titanium jewellery. This extremely light, hi-tech material allows producing spectacular objects in large sizes. Along with titanium, a new style was introduced: designs became inspired by nature. Picture: Vioro Magazine\nKatia Ferraris designed a gold and diamond safety pin for an Arab customer almost for fun. The idea of creating Min\u00f9, a brand dedicated to children\u2019s jewellery, was born from that request. Later, Min\u00f9 became Giovanni Ferraris\u2019s more affordable line for younger customers, featuring 9-carat gold jewellery.\nGiovanni Ferraris took part in Couture, the high jewellery fair in Las Vegas, for the first time. On that occasion he received the Couture Design Award in the Haute Couture category for a pair of titanium earrings with diamonds and sapphires designed by Katia. This award acknowledges the great technical and stylistical sophistication achieved by the brand.\n30 years of Italian made products\nGiovanni Ferraris declared: \u201cWe have to be proud of being born and growing up in Italy, this wonderful and inimitable country. Our history, culture, and art are part of us, they influence the way we are and look at things, the way we perceive shapes, colours, and emotions. Likewise, our work is permeated with this atmospere, therefore each jewel we create in our workshop contains a concentrate of Italian spirit.\u201d In the picture, Giovanni Ferraris with his wife Katia and their sons Valentino and Michelangelo.\nCouture Design Award no. 2\nGiovanni Ferraris\u2019s fourth time at Couture Las Vegas was a \u2018wow\u2019 experience. The amazing titanium, gold, and diamond \u2018dancing\u2019 earrings conquer the Couture Design Award for the category Editor\u2019s Choice. An amazing recognition that declares once again our natural tendency to experiment with and search for new contemporary jewellery styles.",

        "title": "\ufeff Herpes - First Health Guide",
        "raw_content": "Herpes is a collective name for diseases, caused by the Herpes simplex virus (HSV). This is one of the most common viruses in humans. There are two types of the HSV. Type 1 is usually responsible for herpes infections on the face and lips (cold sores). Type 2 is usually the cause of herpes infections around the genitals.\nWhen the body is infected with HSV, we speak of a primary (first occurring) infection. The virus enters the body through mucosa or through the skin. It usually takes three to nine days before the symptoms develop. The virus replicates in the infected skin or infected mucosa and spreads to the lymph nodes in the vicinity of the infection site. These lymph nodes may temporarily become bigger and painful.\nCharacteristic for a herpes infection is that the virus remains lifelong in the body in a dormant form. At an early stage of the primary infection, the virus penetrates the local nerve endings and travels through the nerve to the corresponding ganglion. Due to various circumstances, including fever, sunlight, menstruation or stress, the virus can become active again and move from the ganglion to the initially infected area of the skin or mucosa. Here, an inflammation can reoccur.\nMost people are infected with HSV type 1 at a young age. Primary herpes infections in children are usually less severe than in adults. The severity increases with age. The virus has only a short life span outside the human body. Infection mostly occurs via direct contact with a carrier of the virus.\nBoth virus types can in principle affect any area of the skin and adjacent mucosa.\nThe signs and symptoms are:\nOften a painful, itchy, tingling sensation during and just before a herpes outbreak.\nFirst, one sees small red spots. These will eventually become painful vesicles and, at the end of the herpes-cycle, leave a yellowish scab, which then falls off so that the skin may heal again. The vesicles are one to three millimeters in size and are often clustered.\nThe spots and vesicles may also appear on the genitals. In women, they can occur, for example, in the vagina. Peeing hurts in that case and the genitals feel burning and itchy.\nThe diagnosis of a herpes infection of skin and mucosa is usually made on the basis of the existing symptoms. By means of laboratory tests, such as microscopic examination, viral culture and DNA techniques, the diagnosis can be confirmed.\nNormally, herpes infections don\u2019t require treatment. After all, the symptoms disappear naturally. When treatment of a herpes infection is necessary, an antiviral agent may be prescribed. This drug inhibits multiplication of the virus. There are no drugs available that kill the virus. The infection can thus regularly come back again after the treatment. For herpes to the lips, an antiviral cream can be used. When there is often recurrent herpes, people with many symptoms can be given a long-term treatment with antiviral tablets.\nAnyone who has once been infected with the herpes virus, carries the virus with him for life. In most people, this causes no problems. For some, the virus is occasionally active, making the symptoms come back. In a very small group, this happens so often and so intense, that they are really bothered. Eventually, however, even in those people the attacks decrease in severity and number.\nAvoid self-contamination. Never touch herpes sites with the fingers, so don\u2019t scratch the scabs. When a cream or ointment is applied at the herpes, preferably use a cotton swab. When applying or removing facial cosmetics, avoid any contact with herpes. Don\u2019t use lipstick as long as herpes is present on the lips. When washing, avoid any contact between herpes and washcloth or towel. Wash hands immediately after contact with herpes.\nPrevent infection to others. When a person has cold sores, keep toiletries and consumption utensils strictly for private use. Make sure no one else uses them and wash them thoroughly, immediately after use. Avoid direct contact with the lips of others, so don\u2019t kiss or hug babies. In case of herpes around the genitals, one should not have sexual contact until all the defects are completely healed. After complete healing, however, the infectiousness isn\u2019t gone. Prevention is better than cure. Herpes to the genitals is usually not a serious, but a nasty venereal disease. Using a condom reduces the risk of contamination.\nPrevent herpes in newborns. It\u2019s important that a pregnant woman reports to her doctor or obstetrician that she or her partner has had herpes to the genitals. If a pregnant woman has repeatedly herpes infections to the genitals, the delivery can take place in a normal manner. If a primary herpes occurs during the last six weeks of pregnancy, a ceasarean section will be recommended. After birth, make sure that people with active herpes infection to the lips don\u2019t come close to the newborn (and especially don\u2019t kiss).\nThe term \u2018herpes\u2019 is derived from the Greek word herp\u00e8s (festering wound).\nThe prevalence of herpes infection is 90%.",

        "title": "What to do if you can't afford health insurance",
        "raw_content": "Edward Neeman Published: June 14, 2018 Updated: March 30, 2018\nIf you are looking to stay protected from unforeseen and high medical costs, getting health insurance is the way to go. However, with more people losing jobs or not finding work at all, companies canceling their insurance coverage, and the cost of insurance policies sky-rocketing, many people have had to do away with healthcare policies to ensure their families survive.\nIf you are one of these people who can't afford health insurance, it is good to know that there are alternatives that might help when you can't afford to pay for a traditional plan. Having one or more of these affordable health insurance plans may help you cover your family medical expenses, as well as your own. Some might even offer over $1,000 to cover for most of the things you are used to. You should check various health insurance quotes in the health insurance marketplace to decide which one you can afford.\nIt's important to note that AFLAC is not health insurance, it's considered supplemental health insurance. This means that having AFLAC will not keep you save from paying a tax penalty for lack of health coverage this year because it does not fall under the qualified health plan regulations. What AFLAC does is pay out a flat dollar amount for specific injuries or illnesses.\nThe way it works is similar to health insurance, you pay a monthly fee, and in the event, you fall ill or get injured, AFLAC will pay you directly the amount agreed upon. For example, if you pay $50 a month to stay protected in the event you break your leg, AFLAC will help cover the medical costs of your broken leg. The difference here is that AFLAC has a maximum amount it will pay out, and with health insurance, there would be a maximum amount you would have to pay.\nThe benefit here is that you are paying far less money each month than you would be for comprehensive health coverage. The drawback is that your AFLAC plan only pays for specific medical costs, and can still leave you footing the bill.\nCommunity Health Centers (CHC)\nCommunity health centers have become increasingly popular with the rising cost of health insurance. These health centers focus on serving those who can't afford health insurance or are underinsured. Typically, community health centers are funded either at the federal level or locally which means the facilities may be lacking and the physicians may be limited in the medical attention they can provide.\nThe benefit of community health centers is that they do have to meet federal regulations in order to remain in operation, and they provide preventive care at little to no cost for those who may not be able to seek medical attention elsewhere. Also, at these health centers, it is not required that you have health insurance so no American will have to worry about choosing between their health and finances.\nGoing Generic\nThere has always been a stigma around any item that isn't name-brand. Often referred to as knock-offs, generic prescriptions do work in the same way as their name brand counterparts. The FDA has standards for all medication that hits the shelves at your local pharmacy, and often times generic prescriptions are nearly identical to the expensive drugs you were prescribed by your doctor.\nHere are the standards generic drugs must meet according to the FDA:\nActive ingredients must be the same as the name brand counterpart.\nThe same strength, use medications, form, and administration (such as oral or topical).\nInactive ingredients must be acceptable and meet FDA standards.\nLabels and shipping methods are appropriate.\nIf you have a primary care physician, make sure to discuss generic options with them, or you can talk to your local pharmacist to learn more about your different prescription options. Going generic will often save you money, and typically don't require a prescription.\nBuy the Cheapest Plan Available\nIf push comes to shove, consider getting a cheap health insurance that covers the 10 essential health benefits. If you are under 30 years old, and money is tight, you can also get a health plan known as catastrophic health coverage Although such covers won't cover all your needs, they will surely help lessen the burden of the hospital bills. There are some very cheap health insurance plans available to you through both the health insurance marketplace and private health sector. Explore your options!\nHealth savings accounts, also known as HSA's, give you the opportunity to set aside money specifically for eligible medical expenses. Setting up a health savings accounts help you set aside extra money, and here's how. The funds that are put into your HSA are tax-free! You can talk to your employer about setting one up, and from there, anyone can input funds which protects you from unforeseen medical expenses. Health savings accounts can also be a good way to use your money for investments tax-free and can build up your rainy day funds.\nPicking and choosing who gets coverage is never an easy decision, but in some instances, it may be cheaper to insure the person in your family who requires the most medical attention. For example, if you and your partner can only afford coverage for one of you, it may be beneficial to take a look at medical histories.\nIf you are active, young, and generally in good health, while your partner struggles with respiratory disease and diabetes, it may be more cost-effective for you to go without health insurance while your partner finds coverage. The reason being is that without coverage you may be paying more out-of-pocket for doctor visits and medication than you would with coverage. Of course, the ideal situation is for both of you to find coverage, but if it's not feasible, make sure whoever needs coverage has it.\nBe on the lookout to know what the available coverage options through Medicaid are for those who cannot afford healthcare insurance. Although the income qualifications are stiff, certain states have lowered their qualifications for government subsidies. it is worth a try to find health insurance quotes that will, at least, get your children covered and maybe even get other benefits.\nThis is health coverage from the federal government for the eligible parties. State governments have taken upon themselves to maintain the program. There are over 70% of people who have taken advantage of this program, making it one of the biggest health coverage in the USA. You might be required to pay premiums to access this coverage, depending on your area of residence. Also, you have to provide copayments. This is definitely a cheap health insurance.\nThose who qualify for this program have less financial resources or have challenges obtaining any medical insurance. They include:\nElderly (65 years old and over)\nIf you make over 150% of the poverty line, you will be expected to pay for access to this medical insurance plan. Children and pregnant women might be exempted from making copayments as they are considered vulnerable.\nThis program covers the same things covered by other medical care insurers apart from prescription drugs.\nIt is the name used to refer to the Affordable Care Act, which happens to be a law passed by the government with a sole intention of offering cheap health insurance for all citizens.\nThis act requires citizens to have a health insurance plan, and tax penalties are incurred for non-compliance.\nIt is a medical insurance funded by the federal government to cover people who are 65 years old and over. You can also become eligible before hitting 65 if you have specific disabilities or suffering from end-stage renal disease. Mostly, the people who are eligible are retired and no longer get covered by their employers' health care plans.\nMedicare is paid by the federal government through social security to assist the needy. Many people get 1.45% deduction from their paycheck, which is then transferred to Medicare.",

        "raw_content": "Why Not Being Stupid Beats Being Smart\nIn recent months, the Hong Kong stock market\u2019s performance has given us little to complain about. The Hang Seng Index hovers around 30,000 points, and some individual stocks have been growing even faster. When times are good, like they are now, it seems that every financial commentator can\u2019t wait to share an opinion about which stock will be the next superstar. But unless the people making those predictions are prophets, their visions of future growth should matter far less to you than your own careful research. If investing were easy \u2013 if we really could predict the future \u2013 everyone\u2026\nIn recent months, the Hong Kong stock market\u2019s performance has given us little to complain about. The Hang Seng Index hovers around 30,000 points, and some individual stocks have been growing even faster. When times are good, like they are now, it seems that every financial commentator can\u2019t wait to share an opinion about which stock will be the next superstar. But unless the people making those predictions are prophets, their visions of future growth should matter far less to you than your own careful research.\nIf investing were easy \u2013 if we really could predict the future \u2013 everyone would be a millionaire, and no one would ever need to learn anything about the stock market. But the market is ever-changing, filled with imperfect information. It\u2019s hard enough to make a profit from the stock market even with study and effort, much less when you\u2019re indulging in impulsive speculation.\nWe have to cultivate a healthy fear of the market, and a keen sense of our own limitations, so that we won\u2019t make silly mistakes.\nThese are dangerous times to invest\nSince 2015, the people of Hong Kong have become crazy about buying properties and stocks. We can see evidence of this in the long queues to open accounts at securities houses. The hot market has drawn in so many people, and made so many people overconfident in their stock-picking abilities, that we\u2019re even seeing some fund managers get investing advice from people with no financial background.\nIn short, it\u2019s easier than ever for us to make massive market mistakes. Don\u2019t get distracted by TV investing pundits and their predictions of upcoming market trends. Focus instead, like Munger does, on digging deeply into the companies that interest you, and making certain that they offer a well-run business that deserves your investment.\nWe\u2019re not suggesting you ignore well-meant advice from family and friends. The people close to you can often offer good counsel. But ultimately, the responsibility for your investing choices rests only with you. Before you take any action in the stock market, make sure you\u2019ve taken enough time to fully understand what you\u2019re doing, and all the risks that come with it.\nConsider the advice of Charlie Munger, one of the legendary investors behind Berkshire Hathaway: \u201cIt is remarkable how much \u201d Sometimes, you can find greater success by simply avoiding errors than by striving for huge wins.",

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb About \u00bb Blog \u00bb Supporting a Loved One Through Cancer Diagnosis, Treatment, and Beyond\nSupporting a Loved One Through Cancer Diagnosis, Treatment, and Beyond\nWhen a friend or family member is diagnosed with cancer, a normal first reaction is to want to jump in and help by \u201cdoing\u201d something - anything. In the first few days and weeks, your loved might need time to process their diagnosis. They may be unsure of how to ask for help and overwhelmed with the thought of having to do so. But rest assured, there are many ways that you can be there for them as a caregiver.\nCaregivers are described as any person who supports an individual through their cancer treatment. This can be a friend, spouse, child, partner, or even a member of the treatment team. We have some suggestions about ways to support a loved one throughout their cancer treatment and beyond.\nCommunicating With Extended Friend and Family Networks\nCaregiving occurs in many ways, but often communication with loved ones and the care team is the most time consuming part of the job. To mitigate this, it\u2019s helpful to identify someone in charge of relaying information to each group of friends or family concerned about how your loved one is doing.\nInspirational thoughts sent by friend and family networks are amazing, but it can quickly become overwhelming for a person to feel like they need to respond with a detailed message each time. By having someone keep others updated - with permission - you can alleviate this added stress. Starting a Caring Bridge page is a helpful tool for this purpose.\nOverall, though, it\u2019s important to remember that, at times, the best way to help your loved one is to just be present and ready to listen.\nDoctors Appointments and Treatment Visits\nIt is always helpful for someone facing cancer to have a friend or partner with them for their appointments. You can help by driving, keeping them company, taking notes, and clarifying information told to them by the healthcare team. Often, new information will be received and having a second set of ears can help. If your loved one is open to it, creating a list of family and friends and a schedule for driving to and from treatment appointments is also a great way to help. Bringing a different friend each time can help break up the monotony of lengthy treatments. Driving your loved one to and from appointments and treatment visits, even if that means waiting in the waiting room, lets them know you are there and rooting for them.\nIt is possible that those facing cancer may need procedures or treatments that include short or long hospital stays. While this is not the hope, it may be unavoidable. The role of a caregiver during a hospital stay and beyond is extremely important. Here are a few tips:\nKeep your loved one company if he or she feels up to it (but also be prepared to gracefully respect their desire to be alone.) Days in the hospital can feel extremely long. so a walk down the hall with a friend (if it is a part of the treatment plan), a long talk, or even a card game can go a long way!\nListen to and keep track of important information given by doctors and nurses. Don\u2019t be afraid to speak up if you or your loved one has questions.\nBring some comfort food from home. Please label it with the proper name. You can give it to the nurse who will make sure to put it in the refrigerator if that is needed. Nothing beats a cup of your loved one\u2019s favorite soup or a freshly baked muffin. If your loved one has had surgery, remind them to do their deep breathing exercises. It is easily forgotten, but important.\nThe Relaxation Channel at Fox Chase (Channel #27) is a good way to help your loved one relax.\nEncourage your loved one to reach out for help if needed from a social worker or nurse. This is tough and they don\u2019t need to do it alone. There are countless resources out there for them.\nLastly - and this is an important one - be sure to take care of yourself. You cannot care for others adequately if you do not care for yourself. It is important to eat healthy and do everything to ensure that you don\u2019t get sick. For patients who are going through cancer treatment, catching even a small cold can be a big deal. If you do get sick, practice good handwashing to make sure you don\u2019t pass along the illness.In addition, feeling overwhelmed by the act of supporting a cancer patient is normal and common. Try practicing mindfulness and relaxation techniques if you\u2019re feeling overwhelmed. It\u2019s difficult not be able to fix a difficult situation for the ones you love. Your role however is incredibly important and can make a big difference.",

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb About \u00bb News \u00bb Fox Chase Cancer Center Seeks to Raise Awareness of Pancreatic Cancer\nFox Chase Cancer Center Seeks to Raise Awareness of Pancreatic Cancer\nPHILADELPHIA (November 1, 2017) \u2013 November is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness month, and Fox Chase Cancer Center remains steadfast in its commitment to pancreatic cancer research. The creation of The Marvin and Concetta Greenberg Pancreatic Cancer Institute at Fox Chase Cancer Center will significantly accelerate the pace of pancreatic cancer research, and its impact will be felt regionally and nationally.\nThe new Institute, a multi-million-dollar transformational gift by Philadelphia philanthropist Concetta \u201cChet\u201d Greenberg, is co-chaired by Igor Astsaturov, MD, PhD, and Edna Cukierman, PhD, a pair of visionary researchers whose shared goal is to achieve breakthroughs in both early detection and treatment options.\n\u201cPancreatic cancer is expected to become the second leading cause of cancer death by 2030, and the need for better detection and treatment strategies is urgent,\u201d said Richard I. Fisher, MD, president and CEO of Fox Chase. Today, pancreatic cancer accounts for about 3% of all cancers in the U.S. and about 7% of all cancer deaths, according to the American Cancer Society (ACS). One\u2019s average lifetime risk of the disease is about 1 in 65 (1.5%).\nPancreatic cancer begins in the tissues of the pancreas, an organ in the abdomen that lies horizontally behind the lower part of the stomach. The pancreas releases enzymes that aid digestion and hormones that help manage blood sugar. Pancreatic cancer is seldom detected in its early stages. \u201cBecause of the location of the pancreas deep inside the body, early tumors cannot be seen or felt in a routine physical exam,\u201d explained Igor Astsaturov, MD, PhD, associate professor in the Department of Hematology/Oncology at Fox Chase. \u201cPeople usually have no symptoms until the cancer has already spread to other organs.\u201d\nWhile the exact causes of pancreatic cancer are unknown, researchers have identified several factors that can affect one\u2019s chance of getting cancer of the pancreas.\nAbout 20% to 30% of pancreatic cancers are thought to be caused by cigarette smoking. One\u2019s risk of pancreatic cancer is about twice as high among smokers compared to those who have never smoked. Cigar, pipe smoking and smokeless tobacco products also heighten risk.\nOverweight and very overweight, or obese, individuals are more likely to develop pancreatic cancer. Even having extra weight around the waistline can raise risk.\nWorkplace Exposure to Certain Chemicals\u00ad\nHeavy exposure at work to certain chemicals used in the dry cleaning and metalworking industries may increase one\u2019s risk of pancreatic cancer.\nAbout two-thirds of individuals with pancreatic cancer are at least 65 years old. Risk increases with age, with the average age at the time of diagnosis 71 years old.\nMen are slightly more likely to develop pancreatic cancer than women.\nAfrican Americans are at a slightly higher risk than other races and ethnicities for developing pancreatic cancer.\nCertain inherited DNA changes can lead to conditions running in some families that increase the risk of pancreatic cancer. Most often, however, DNA mutations of genes related to cancers of the pancreas are not inherited. \u201cPeople with a family history of pancreatic cancer should talk with their doctor to determine if they should undergo testing early, when the disease may be more easily treated,\u201d noted Dr. Astsaturov.\nPancreatic cancer is more common in people with diabetes, with the most risk found in those with type 2 diabetes.\nChronic pancreatitis is linked with a higher risk of pancreatic cancer (especially in smokers), but most people with pancreatitis never develop the disease. Those with an inherited (familial) form of pancreatitis have a high lifetime risk of pancreatic cancer.\nPeople with cirrhosis seem to have an increased risk of pancreatic cancer.\nInfection of the stomach with the ulcer-causing bacteria Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) may increase one\u2019s risk of pancreatic cancer.\n\u201cHaving a risk factor doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019ll definitely develop the disease, just as not having a risk factor doesn\u2019t mean you won\u2019t get cancer,\u201d said Astsaturov. \u201cThe best way to reduce your risk of developing pancreatic cancer is by avoiding or changing those behaviors that are known risk factors for the disease.\u201d\nhttps://www.cancer.org/cancer/pancreatic-cancer/causes-risks-prevention/risk-factors.html\nhttp://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/pancreatic-cancer/symptoms-causes/dxc-20268506\nFox Chase Cancer Center Receives Historic Gift to Establish...",

And then I went out there and argued with him and I said something I shouldn\u2019t have said.\"\nThe league hit Washington with a $200 fine. But instead of just writing a check, he sent a box of 20,000 pennies to Bob Watson, MLB vice president in charge of discipline and vice president of rules and on-field operations. The shipping cost was reportedly about $45.\nWashington said Watson called him after receiving the package of coins and asked if he really just had $200 in pennies laying around.\n\"Yes. Bob, I didn\u2019t have my checkbook,\" Washington said he told Watson. \"I wasn\u2019t trying to be funny.

But I think what it does is it validates the quality of our officiating. We all recognize that officials are going to make mistakes. What we need to do is try to avoid those mistakes as much as possible, train them differently and improve the quality of the officiating and use technology to help them when a mistake does occur.\"\nGoodell added that \"no stone will be left unturned\" in the NFL's attempts to improve how games are officiated, adding that such a topic had been discussed with owners in Irving.\nGoodell was also asked if measures would be taken to improve the controversial catch rule.\n\"The answer to that is yes. The Competition Committee has looked at that, but I'll go one step further with you. A couple weeks ago, I asked several football personnel, including former GMs, current GMs, current individuals, former players, former officials, to come together and try to see if we can study this and come up with some proposals for the Competition Committee to consider.\n\"We want clarity to that.

        "raw_content": "[Video] High-ranking Buddhist monk accused of sexual abuse in China\nBeijing (CNN) One of China\u2019s highest-ranking Buddhist monks has denied explosive allegations of sexual misconduct, which accusers claim left at least one victim suicidal.\nThe State Administration for Religious Affairs said in a statement Thursday that the agency \u201cattaches high importance\u201d to the claims against Xuecheng and \u201chas started investigation and verification work.\u201d\nReport censored on social media\nThe accusers\u2019 report contains numerous examples of explicit messages that Xuecheng allegedly sent to at least six nuns. In the messages, Xuecheng is alleged to have demanded total obedience from the nuns, including sexual favors, as part of their study of Buddhist doctrines.\nIt was leaked online Wednesday and widely circulated on Chinese social media before being censored.\nThe document has accounts from a number of the alleged victims, some of whom say they were so devastated by their experiences they became mentally unstable or even suicidal.\nAccording to the document, one victim eventually filed a police report in Beijing in June, alleging the abbot had sexually assaulted her and several other nuns.\nShi Xianqi, one of the two monks behind the original document, which also includes allegations of corruption, told CNN on Thursday that he and co-author Shi Xianjia stand by their words and are cooperating with the authorities.\n\u201cWe have submitted more evidence,\u201d he said. \u201cWe will now wait for the result of the government probe.\u201d\nCNN\u2019s repeated calls to Longquan Temple and Xuecheng on Thursday went unanswered. Local media reported Thursday that road access to the mountain where the temple is located was abruptly closed after the allegations emerged, with a notice citing \u201cmudslide danger following recent torrential rains.\u201d\n\u2018Evil in the Buddha\u2019s robe\u2019\nIn a statement to CNN, Xianqi described how he began investigating Xuecheng earlier this year when a \u201cfearful and nervous\u201d nun told him about the explicit messages she had been receiving from the abbot.\nAfter obtaining the messages through legal means, Xianqi said the whistleblowers consulted with police and technical experts, who ruled out the possibility of the abbot\u2019s account having been hacked.\n\u201cSo many faithful Buddhist women wanted to join the temple and I always voted yes,\u201d he said in the statement. \u201cLittle did I know I was sending them to the tiger\u2019s mouth.\u201d\n\u201cThe abbot\u2019s learned image has crumbled in my mind,\u201d he added. \u201cAll that\u2019s left is huge fear. He is evil in the Buddha\u2019s robe.\u201d\nChina boasts more than 240 million Buddhists despite the ruling Communist Party being officially atheist.\nXuecheng is one of the most high-profile religious leaders in the country, an author of numerous books and a globetrotter in promoting Chinese Buddhism.\nThe abbot is known to put a modern twist on the ancient religion, maintaining an active online presence and teaching Buddhist ideas through cartoons. In 2016, he attracted brief worldwide attention when his temple launched a humanoid \u201crobot monk\u201d designed to greet young visitors.\nHis temple is also seen an intellectual bastion with highly educated young monks.

In 2015, Abbot Shi Yongxin of Shaolin Temple, the country\u2019s legendary kung fu monastery, was accused of being an embezzler and womanizer with illegitimate children.\nThe latest claims against Xuecheng, which surprisingly were published in the English edition of state-run tabloid Global Times, are also part of a number of sexual harassment allegations making waves in China in recent months.\nIn July, a spreadsheet of accusations against prominent men within non-governmental organizations as well as activist and media circles was widely shared by Chinese women online.\nIt has drawn comparisons with the #MeToo movement in the West, which has exposed a number of serious allegations against high-profile media and political figures, as women push back against systemic sexual harassment and abuse.\nFar from being wary of calling out men whose work is important, many Chinese women airing their accusations have highlighted the hypocrisy of their abusers, and the disparity between their public and private faces.\n\u201cThey\u2019re famous, they\u2019re powerful and they make great contributions (to society).

        "raw_content": "More attention paid to all the natural gas we\u2019re wasting\nJanuary 30, 2015 /0 Comments/in Economy, What's The Buzz staff /by Fuel Freedom Staff\nEnergy experts are starting to pay more attention to an important byproduct to U.S. oil extraction: the incredible amount of natural gas that gets burned off into the atmosphere, or \u201cflared,\u201d because it\u2019s not profitable enough to capture at the well head.\nForbes contributor Michael Kanellos is the latest to examine the absurd practice, writing:\n\u2026 the sheer volume of gas that gets flared or emitted into the atmosphere t remains truly astounding. A potential source of profits and jobs is literally transformed in bulk into an environmental hazard and potential liability around the clock.\nIt\u2019s an environmental hazard because natural gas is made primarily of methane, a greenhouse gas that\u2019s many times worse for the environment than carbon dioxide. Some methane leaks from wells and pipelines, but even when the gas is burned off, it creates some GHG emissions.\nMethane has tremendous potential as a commodity, however, because it can be turned into alcohol fuels \u2014 ethanol and methanol \u2014 to run our cars and trucks. Both fuels burn much cleaner in engines, and can be cheaper for the consumer.\nWhen the price of oil was $115 a barrel, there was little incentives for oil drillers \u2014 who put bits in the ground mainly for oil, after all \u2014 to capture and store the natural gas, because gas remains stuck in the cellar in terms of pricing. Now that oil has dropped by 60 percent over the past seven months, maybe U.S. drillers will be incentivized to keep more of the gas that comes up in the wells.\n(Our blogger William Tucker has written about the flaring issue before. It\u2019s also discussed, along with many oil-related issues, in the documentary PUMP, which is available for download on iTunes now.)\nLandfills also emit methane, and much of that is flared as well. If we captured more methane and turned it into fuel, there would be more of a market for it, and the infrastructure for converting it to fuel and distributing it would grow. A whole new generation of jobs could be created in the sector, jobs that by their nature would stay in America.\nKanellos has compiled many fascinating statistics about how much natural gas is wasted by flaring, including these nuggets:\nSince the beginning of 2010, more than 31% of the natural gas in the Bakken region has been burned off or flared. It was worth an estimated $1.4 billion.\nOver 150 billion cubic meters, or 5.3 trillion cubic feet, get flared annually worldwide, or around $16 billion lost.\nFlaring in Texas and North Dakota emit the equivalent amount of greenhouse gases as 500,000 cars.\nDispute flares over burned-off natural gas (WSJ)\nFracking boom waste: Flares light prairie with unused natural gas (NBC News)\nNatural gas flaring in Eagle Ford Shale already surpasses 2012 levels of waste and pollution (Fox Business)\nU. of Minnesota\u2019s ethanol study falls flat\nJanuary 30, 2015 /0 Comments/in Environment, Over a Barrel Blog wtucker, newleaf /by Admin\nEvery so often, a new \u201cstudy\u201d is published that shows why many of oil\u2019s competitors are \u201cbad\u201d in one form or another. Such \u201cstudies\u201d are usually widely circulated in the media without much fact-checking. When other experts start looking into the \u201cstudy,\u201d they usually find that it is anything but scientific (remember all those \u201cstudies\u201d that said that smoking is good for you.)\nThe question each American should ask is, Why are they trying to tell us which fuel we should use? All these studies basically don\u2019t want Americans to be exposed to other fuels (in order to maintain the oil monopoly). Americans are smart enough to decide which fuel is best for them, but that\u2019s what scares the oil monopoly. They don\u2019t want competition at the pump. Take a look at the most recent \u201cstudy.\u201d\nResearchers at the University of Minnesota have stirred up a hornet\u2019s nest by supposedly proving that ethanol is no better than gasoline for air emissions, and electric cars don\u2019t fare much better either, especially if they get their electricity from coal. The study compared the air pollution level of gasoline with 10 alternative fuels and came up with a winner \u2013 what they called \u201crenewed methane\u201d \u2014 methane captured from landfills, which have no link to fossil fuels.\nAir-pollution groups and the ethanol industry pointed out that the study was deeply flawed and based on outdated assumptions.\n\u201cOn a full lifecycle basis, the study\u2019s results are contradictory to the results from the Department of Energy\u2019s latest GREET model,\u201d the Renewable Fuels Association wrote in a response published the next day. (GREET stands for \u201cGreenhouse gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy use in Transportation,\u201d a recent standard set by the Department of Energy that attempts to measure all energy use for the different fuels through the entire life cycle. GREET shows ethanol doing fairly well, while the Minnesota study used an older model that is not as favorable to ethanol.)\n\u201cThere is a substantial body of evidence proving that ethanol reduces both exhaust hydrocarbons and CO emissions, and thus can help reduce the formation of ground-level ozone,\u201d the RFA said. The study \u201c\u2026 excludes NOx and SOx emissions associated with crude oil extraction, a decision that grossly under-represents the actual lifecycle emissions impacts of gasoline. Omitting key emissions sources from the lifecycle assessment of EVs and crude oil inappropriately skews the paper\u2019s results for the overall emissions impacts of these fuels and vehicles.\u201d\nThe study included the entire lifecycle components of ethanol but excluded the lifecycle components of gasoline (like tar sands extraction). This is not a minor omission. It essentially means that the entire report is materially incorrect.\nThe Urban Air Initiative was also highly critical of the Minnesota report. \u201cThe study utterly failed to consider a vast body of research by auto industry and health experts that conclusively show gasoline aromatic hydrocarbons are the primary source of the most dangerous urban pollutants,\u201d said David VanderGriend, president of the Initiative. \u201cThe aromatics \u2014 which comprise 25\u201330 percent of U.S. gasoline \u2014 are responsible for a wide range of serious health effects, including autism, cancer and heart disease.\u201d\n\u201cUrban air pollution, and specifically summertime smog or ozone, is a mix of volatile organic compounds, carbon monoxide, particulates, NOx, and countless other factors. Gasoline itself is a toxic soup of chemicals, but as we add ethanol we clean up that gasoline and protect public health,\u201d added VanderGriend, whose group keeps track of pollutants in cities.\nVanderGriend pointed out that ethanol is a source of clean, low carbon octane that is used in federal reformulated gasoline in major U.S. cities. Although it is not required, refiners choose ethanol for its clean-burning properties and its ability to help them meet emission standards. \u201cExcess carbon monoxide has essentially been eliminated in the U.S. due to the presence of ethanol, and ozone violations are at the lowest levels in the history of the automobile,\u201d said the RFA response. According to the EPA, the amount of ozone in the air has decreased 18 percent from 2000 to 2013.\nWhat the Minnesota study completely misses is the role that ethanol is playing in reducing our dependence on foreign oil. People have jumped to the conclusion that because our imports have fallen and because the price of oil has nosedived, we don\u2019t have to rely on oil from countries that oppose our policies at all. Nothing could be further from the truth. We still import about 40 percent of our oil and spend $300 billion in the process. This figure is likely to remain high as oil bounces back from its recent lows. The major chunk of our trade deficit is made up of imported oil.\nWe still have a lot way to go in freeing ourselves from these responsibilities. All these strategies \u2013 ethanol, methanol, compressed natural gas, electric vehicles and others \u2013 can play a part. The important thing is to give consumers a choice \u2013 as Fuel Freedom Foundation has long recommended. The last thing we want to do is be influenced by studies that are heavily biased against ethanol or any of the other alternatives that threaten the monopoly of gasoline.\nCommunities around the country that drove the surge in U.S. oil production are becoming victims of falling global prices. Already this month, oil-and-gas servicing companies Baker Hughes and Schlumberger announced a combined 16,000 layoffs, owing to the steep drop in oil prices.\n\u201cThey gave me 24 hours to leave my house,\u201d John Roberts, a van driver for Schlumberger who was let go in Williston, N.D., told CNN Money.\nIn North Dakota, where work on the Bakken shale-oil formation had attracted thousands of workers amid an economic surge, Jim Arthaud, CEO of MBI Energy Services in Belfield, said up to 20,000 jobs could be lost in that area alone, and just among companies that service oil and gas drillers.\nProf. Bill Gilmer of the University of Houston told Forbes that 75,000 jobs could be lost in Houston alone in 2015. The city has added about 100,000 jobs a year since 2011.\nThe antidote to this boom-and-bust cycle of volatile oil prices is to provide a steady, dependable supply of cheap transportation fuel to American drivers for the long term. Increasing the use of alternative fuels will reduce our dependence on oil and protect the economy from the oil-market rollercoaster.\nThe United States has helped bring down the global price of oil by producing more oil \u2013 a lot more \u2013 here at home. But that oil, extracted from shale rock, mostly in North Dakota and Texas, is expensive to get out of the ground. As the global price of oil has plummeted, so too have the oil companies\u2019 profit margins, and they\u2019re starting to lay off workers on a mass scale.\nTo promote the use of more alternative fuels, as a counterweight to oil-price volatility, the U.S. should build up its infrastructure for producing and distributing fuels like ethanol and methanol. There are thousands of jobs that could potentially be created. In 2013, for instance, the U.S. produced 13.3 billion gallons of ethanol, which is blended into the gasoline we all use. The ethanol industry supported 86,504 direct jobs and 300,277 indirect jobs, according to the Renewable Fuels Association\u2018s most recent data. Those are domestic jobs that support American families, and which can\u2019t be outsourced.\nThe sector added $44 billion to the nation\u2019s gross domestic product and paid $8.3 billion in taxes, without government subsidies.\nIf we made such alternative fuels more widely available, we could not only reduce our dependence on oil, we\u2019d create a whole new generation of U.S. jobs that would keep investment in the country and strengthen the overall economy.\nNYT columnist: Gas really isn\u2019t all that cheap\nIt\u2019s about time somebody pointed out that gas, while cheaper than it\u2019s been in the past few years, isn\u2019t all that cheap, really. If you look at history.\nNew York Times business columnist David Leonhardt did just that, pointing out that the national average for regular unleaded \u2014 $2.03 per gallon \u2014 is \u201cstill more expensive than nearly anytime in the 1990s, after adjusting for general inflation. Over a 17-year stretch from the start of 1986 to the end of 2002, the real price of gas averaged just $1.87.\u201d\nLeonhardt notes that the era of cheap gas coincides with the \u201cgreat wage slowdown.\u201d\nOne of the surest ways to end the great wage slowdown would be for the United States to make sure it\u2019s entering a new era of cheap energy. \u201cIt\u2019s the proverbial tax cut,\u201d says Daniel Yergin, vice chairman of the research firm IHS and author of a Pulitzer Prize-winning history of oil. If energy costs remain at current levels, it would put $180 billion into Americans\u2019 pockets this year, according to Moody\u2019s Analytics, equal to 1.2 percent of income and a higher share for lower-income households.\nThat\u2019s why taking virtually every step to push oil costs even lower \u2014 \u201cdrill, baby, drill,\u201d as the phrase goes \u2014 would make a lot of sense, so long as oil use did not have harmful side effects.\nAh, but it does have side effects. Leonhardt adds:\nIt leads to carbon emissions, which are altering the world\u2019s climate. Last year was probably the planet\u2019s hottest since modern records began in 1880, and the 15 hottest have all occurred since 1998. Oceans are rising, species are at risk and some types of severe storms, including blizzards, seem to be more common.\nMore oil production, then, involves enormous trade-offs: a healthier economy, at least in the short term, but a less healthy planet, with all of the political, ecological, health and economic downsides that come with it.\nLeonhardt writes that it\u2019s possible, in part, to retain the benefits of increased oil output without the drawbacks. Hydraulic fracturing is less carbon intensive than conventional oil drilling, although fracking comes with other issues. \u201cClean energy\u201d offers a good solution, he says, \u201cif it could become even cheaper.\u201d\nDemocrats block Keystone XL bill in Senate\nJanuary 27, 2015 /0 Comments/in Environment, What's The Buzz staff /by Fuel Freedom Staff\nAs expected, Senate Democrats prevented a bill authorizing construction of TransCanada\u2019s Keystone XL pipeline from advancing in the Senate.\nThe fate of the pipeline still remains with the State Department, because the pipeline would cross from Canada through the United States.\nPresident Obama already has made his feelings known, saying through a spokesman that he would veto any bill that emerged from Congress.\nAccording to media reports, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell moved to end debate on the bill, a version of which had already cleared the Republican-controlled House. But Republicans could only muster 53 votes for cloture, or an end to the debate, on two separate roll calls. Under parliamentary rules, 60 votes are needed for cloture.\nThe New York Times reported: \u201cThe move ensures that senators will continue to debate the bill \u2014 most likely for another week \u2014 before Republicans again try to bring the measure up for a final vote.\u201d\nThe GOP had no doubt hoped for more Democrats. As Politico reported:\nThe legislation \u2026 on Monday lost a vote from one of its longtime backers, Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) \u2014 now a member of party leadership as chief of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee \u2014 but picked up a vote from Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.), the former DSCC chairman who has not formally signed onto the pipeline bill.\nTwo other Democrats who have backed stripping Obama\u2019s power to decide on a Keystone permit, Sens. Claire McCaskill and Mark Warner, missed the Monday vote.\n\u201cI\u2019d like to see us decide Keystone and move on,\u201d Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, one of the pro-Keystone Democrats who voted with the GOP to cut off debate, told reporters.\nKeystone\u2019s backers initially expected the pipeline votes would end this week. But Democratic anger over the majority leader\u2019s move to close off the debate on their amendments last week has made the pipeline bill a power struggle, with Democrats pushing McConnell to continue the freewheeling energy debate on the floor that has delved into topics ranging from climate change to eminent domain.\nOil prices dip as blizzard strikes the Northeast\nOPEC\u2019s secretary-general, Abdullah al-Badri, said Monday that the great oil price-drop could be over, and that it could start to climb again soon.\n\u201cNow the prices are around $45-$50, and I think maybe they reached the bottom and will see some rebound very soon,\u201d he told Reuters in London.\nAl-Badri also warned that oil might spike to $200.\nThat may well occur in the future. But for now, the floor hasn\u2019t been reached. Prices rallied briefly after al-Badri\u2019s comments, but they settled down in Monday\u2019s trading session. Brent, the international benchmark, fell 1.3 percent to $48.16. U.S., or West Texas Intermediate, fell 1 percent to $45.15, but narrowed after the restart of a refinery in Whiting, Indiana.\nSome experts had anticipated movement in the markets following the death of Saudi King Abdullah last week. But his successor, half-brother Salman, pledged \u201ccontinuity in energy and foreign policies on Friday and was quick to retain veteran oil minister Ali al-Naimi, sending a message aimed at calming a jittery oil market,\u201d Reuters reported.\nThe massive blizzard in the Northeast affected crude prices: The anticipated storm caused prices of heating oil to rise, but jet fuel dropped, in anticipation of canceled flights.\nThe blizzard will result in canceled flights, less driving and increased use of heating oil, creating mixed indicators for crude oil, Matt Smith, an analyst at Schneider Electric, said.\n\u201cWe saw this with Hurricane Sandy,\u201d Smith said.\nGOP condemns White House proposal to add Alaska protections\nReaction is pouring in after President Obama over the weekend announced his administration was seeking to permanently protect the majority of the Alaskan National Wildlife Refuge \u2014 about 12 million of 19.8 million acres \u2014 from oil and gas exploration.\nThe coastal plain in the refuge, home to about 200 species, as well as an estimated 10.3 billion barrels of oil (enough to satisfy U.S. consumption for about 18 months), has been \u201coff-limits to development for years,\u201d The Los Angeles Times writes. But:\n\u2026 the White House move marks a new front in the long-running political and environmental battle over whether to authorize oil production in the refuge.\nOnly Congress can designate the area as protected wilderness. But even if lawmakers don\u2019t support the measure, officials said, the Interior Department intends to continue barring oil and gas development \u2014 along with road-building and almost every other form of development.\nAs The Washington Post put it:\nThe move marks the latest instance of Obama\u2019s aggressive use of executive authority to advance his top policy priorities. While only Congress can create a wilderness area, once the federal government identifies a place for that designation, it receives the highest level of protection until Congress acts or a future administration adopts a different approach.\nObama, in a video released Sunday, said: \u201cAlaska\u2019s National Wildlife Refuge is an incredible place \u2014 pristine, undisturbed. It supports caribou and polar bears, all manner of marine life, countless species of birds and fish, and for centuries it supported many Alaska Native communities. But it\u2019s very fragile.\u201d\nEnvironmentalists praised the announcement, but Republican lawmakers weren\u2019t happy, particularly Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, who leads the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. A statement on the senator\u2019s website was titled \u201cObama, Jewell Declaring War on Alaska\u2019s Future,\u201d referring to Interior Secretary Sally Jewell.\nMurkowski said:\n\u201cWhat\u2019s coming is a stunning attack on our sovereignty and our ability to develop a strong economy that allows us, our children and our grandchildren to thrive. It\u2019s clear this administration does not care about us, and sees us as nothing but a territory. The promises made to us at statehood, and since then, mean absolutely nothing to them. I cannot understand why this administration is willing to negotiate with Iran, but not Alaska. But we will not be run over like this. We will fight back with every resource at our disposal.\u201d\nThe White House called her reaction overblown.\nThe Atlantic: Why the U.S. still needs Saudi Arabia\nJanuary 26, 2015 /0 Comments/in National Security, What's The Buzz staff /by Fuel Freedom Staff\nThe Atlantic\u2019s Matt Schiavenza has some pointed commentary on the longtime U.S.-Saudi alliance, arguing that the United States needs the Middle East kingdom \u201cmore than ever.\u201d\nFollowing the death of King Abdullah last week at age 90, following a lung infection, President Obama cited his \u201cenduring contribution to the search for peace\u201d in the region. Secretary of State John Kerry said he was a \u201cman of wisdom and vision.\u201d\nSchiavenza then lists the ways in which Saudi policy undermines the American praise, including the lack of rights of women, and the case of blogger Raif Badawi, who was sentenced to 1,000 lashes and 10 years in prison for defending atheism.\nSchiavenza writes:\nContrary to President Obama\u2019s statement, Saudi Arabia\u2019s role in brokering Middle Eastern peace has, at best, been unhelpful. King Abdullah bitterly opposed Washington\u2019s support of pro-democracy protesters in Egypt and urged President Obama to use force to preserve Hosni Mubarak\u2019s dictatorship. Since Abdel Fattah al-Sisi assumed the country\u2019s leadership in 2013, Riyadh has helped finance his brutal suppression of the country\u2019s Muslim Brotherhood. Saudi Arabia has also resisted the rise of Shia movements in the region out of fear that Iran, their main rival, will gain influence. When Shia protesters threatened the Sunni dictatorship in neighboring Bahrain, Saudi Arabia dispatched its military to suppress the uprising. Riyadh\u2019s support of Syrian rebels, too, has backfired: Islamic State fighters have benefited from Saudi money and weapons.\nThe reason the United States continues to \u201cput up with\u201d Saudi Arabia, the writer contends, is oil. And despite ramped-up production in the U.S. shale-oil fields, the U.S. will continue to need Saudi oil. Currently there\u2019s a glut that might worsen, since Abdullah\u2019s successor, his half-brother Salman bin Abdul Aziz, appears unlikely to reduce oil production to stem the drop in price. Right now the U.S. produces about 9 million barrels of oil a day, comparable with Saudi output.\nBut the kingdom, which is the leading oil-producer in OPEC (which controls 40 percent of the world\u2019s oil supply), is \u201cwell-positioned to survive a sustained drop in the price of oil,\u201d Schiavenza writes, adding:\nRiyadh generally needs oil to trade at $80 a barrel in order to balance its budget. But with $750 billion stashed away in reserve, the kingdom faces little pressure to reduce supply and raise the price. In addition, Saudi Arabia and fellow OPEC members Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates have proved reserves of 460 billion barrels. The United States, by contrast, has proved reserves of just 10 billion\u2014and the U.S. Energy Information Agency forecasts that American shale oil production will plateau in 2020.\nPuncturing the myth of 14X improvement in biofuels\nJim Lane was demonstrating some of his usual skepticism when he took on the story of a 14X improvement in the production of biofuels last week.\nThe story began with an item in Renewable Energy World, Green Car Congress and several other publications. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory published a report on its website stating that a bacterium had been discovered that processed biofuel from cellulose material at 14 times the rate of previously used bacteria.\nLane starts with an apology as to why Biofuels Digest didn\u2019t get too excited about this announcement.\nYou may have wondered why the discovery was not also hailed in The Digest this week, and on the topic there\u2019s good and bad news, friends.\nThe good news is that such an enzyme exists, though it doesn\u2019t quite perform at the 14X level and isn\u2019t out of the lab yet. The bad news is that the research that inspired the article actually was published in Science in 2013. Sorry, folks, not a new breakthrough.\nFirst, Lane takes these publications to school for a little elementary arithmetic. The articles said that the new microbe \u201crevealed twice the total sugar conversion in two days\u201d that the present microbe \u201cusually produced in seven.\u201d But as Lane points out, that means it\u2019s 7X as effective, not 14X. But \u201cWhat does it matter,\u201d he says. \u201cTwo of the stubborn problems in converting cellulose to fuels have been the cost of enzymes and the capex [capital expenditures] associated with the technology.\u201d Neither problem is really addressed by the new enzyme.\nActually, the new enzyme \u2013 caldicellulosedisruptor bescii, which was discovered in a region of hot springs and land on Russia\u2019s Kamchatka Peninsula \u2014 does hold some promise. Because they are so tolerant of heat (up to 193 degrees F), they promise to eliminate the pretreatment of cellulosic material, which would mean a huge saving in processing. Almost half the cost of reducing cellulosic material to sugars comes in pre-treatment. The trick will be getting the process that has been demonstrated in the lab to be repeated on a commercial scale. \u201cLet\u2019s locate all of this where it is, which is in the lab. Which is about 10 years from appearing in an at-scale process somewhere, you average out the timelines for bringing processes based on other microbes to full commercial scale.\u201d\nWhich is to say, no one has shown that these results can be achieved in a 500 liter fermenter, much less a million liter monster as we see in commercial scale operations. There\u2019s going to be, lime, zero knowledge at this stage about the behavior of these microbes in a fermenter under the incomplete mixing conditions that almost invariably are found at scale.\nSo, let\u2019s keep the risks in mind, and the timelines, too \u2013 even as we hail a genuinely promising and fascinating scientific advance.\nLane has some quiet optimism about the process itself. He isn\u2019t as entirely cynical as he would let on.\nThere has indeed been some research showing that the CelA bacteria can handle large quantities of cellulosic material in a commercial setting. As BioDigest reported last year, \u201ca group of researchers led by the University of Georgia\u2019s Mike Adams demonstrated that caldicellolusiruptor could \u201cwithout pretreatment, break down biomass, including lignin, and release sugars for biofuels and chemicals production.\u201d The group wrote in Energy & Environmental Science that \u201cthe majority (85%) of insoluble switchgrass biomass that had not been previously chemically treated was degraded at 78 \u00b0C by the anaerobic bacterium Caldicellulosiruptor bescii.)\u201d\nDigesting switchgrass and other cellulosic material into sugars \u2014 which can easily be converted to ethanol \u2014 would be a huge advance, even if it took ten years to bring into play. Even if it\u2019s not the miracle that some have touted, it\u2019s a huge advance. The question of which publication broke the story first will fade, and we\u2019ll soon know if the new bacteria really can help us turn seemingly intractable vegetable material into a useful fuel.",

What a great record they had with so many young guys and so many changes in the program.\u201d\nInstead, Campbell is looking for his own returning weapons off a 9-4 team, headlined by senior All-MAC running back David Fluellen, to lead an offense returning nine starters this season.\nThough injuries and illness have the Gators entering the weekend missing four potential starters, including sophomore tailback Matt Jones, Campbell is anticipating Florida will find production from backups Mack Brown, Mark Herndon and Valdez Showers.\n\u201cI know from their entire running back stable that they've got guys, not just Matt, that can run the ball with extreme success,\u201d Campbell said. \u201cThen you look at Jeff (Driskel) in the quarterback spot, and you see how dynamic of a runner he can be when he runs the football.\u201d\nCampbell, the second-youngest FBS coach at 33, returns four starters from a rushing defense that tied for 78th in the nation last season with 182.3 yards per game allowed. In Campbell's inaugural season with Toledo, the Rockets opened 8-1 before losing three of their last four games.\n\u201cAt the end of the day, you look at how they've run the football at Florida over at least last year, there's a lot of guys touching the football and it wasn't just Matt Jones,\u201d Campbell said. \u201cMore than anything you've got to prepare how you're going to defend against that really talented offensive line and all the different formations and the tempos that they run at you.\u201d\nInside Toledo\n*Toledo has not played a school from the SEC. The Rockets are making up for that by playing back-to-back games against SEC foes, at Florida on Saturday and at Missouri on Sept. 7.\n*At 33 years old, Toledo's Matt Campbell is the second-youngest head coach in the FBS, one year older than Western Michigan's P.J.

Thus, McPhee can re-sign whoever he wants while staying in the running for quality free agents.\nSecond: Players want to come here for a variety of reasons. Except for management of the Florida Panthers, everyone loves and wants to play for head coach Gerard Gallant. Plus the local benefits of no Nevada state income tax, brand new hockey facilities (both T-Mobile Arena and the practice rink), and lifestyle issues related to the city (clean environment, good weather, et al.).\nThird: Scouts believe all three of Vegas\u2019 first-round draft picks this past season were touchdowns for McPhee, adding to the depth of the organization.\nThe Chicago Wolves, Vegas\u2019 Triple-A affiliate in the American Hockey League, were Central Division champions (42-23-7), going 37-12-2 down the stretch. Plus Vegas signed defenseman Zac Leslie plus forwards Thomas Hyke and Tyler Wong to contracts for next season.\nThe only foreseeable problem may be next summer, when the expansion Seattle Totems enter the league.Just like in Pittsburgh, Marc-Andre Fleury may be left expendable \u2013 how ironic would that be!",

The awards were announced during the annual CBMA Weekend in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.\nWSGE is the non-commercial public radio station that broadcasts from its studio on the Dallas campus of Gaston College. WSGE 91.7 FM, which bills itself as \u201cYour Independent Music Source,\u201d has won this award five times, with 2018 as the fourth consecutive year for the honor. It had previously won the award in 2011.\nAnother repeat winner was WSGE Beach and Shag music deejay John Barkley, also known as Johnny B, who was named the Club/Mobile DJ of the Year for 2018. He was the recipient of that award in 2014, 2015, and 2017.\n\u201cI am honored to be recognized by the Carolina Beach Music Awards again this year,\u201d said Barkley. \u201cI love sharing this great music at clubs and events, as well as on WSGE, and it\u2019s gratifying to know that my enthusiasm is appreciated.\u201d\nFellow WSGE deejay Scott Smith was also nominated for 2018 Club/Mobile DJ of the year. In addition, both Barkley and Smith were nominees for 2018 FM DJ of the year, and their respective shows, \u201cCarolina Beach Party\u201d and \u201cBeach Trip,\u201d were nominees for 2018 Radio Show of the year.\nSmith attributes WSGE\u2019s recognition to the dedication of the station\u2019s deejays.\n\u201cWSGE deejays are so passionate about the music we play and it shows in the product of each show,\u201d he said. \u201cWe all love the music, people, and the culture that is beach and shag. The award means a lot to me because it lets us know that CBMA members like what WSGE is doing and they show it through the nomination and voting process.\u201d\n\u201cThe collective efforts of our beach deejays made it possible for us to win this prestigious award for four years in a row,\u201d said Cathis Hall, WSGE station manager. \u201cI am grateful for their dedicated volunteer service, and I\u2019d also like to thank our beach listeners for their continued support of our beach and shag music programming.\u201d\nAttending the Carolina Beach Music Awards weekend in North Myrtle Beach were WSGE deejays John Barkley, Mike Feimster, Sandy Hamilton, Jim Shafer, Angelia Skidmore, Scott Smith, Curtis Treece, and Lamar Walker.\n\u201cWinning this award four years in a row shows that WSGE is well-known and respected in the beach music community, in the Carolinas, and beyond,\u201d said Treece. \u201cAnd a huge portion of that has to do with our local listeners who support the station and spread the word about it.\u201d\nAnother volunteer deejay, Sandy Hamilton, said, \u201cWSGE is so unique because the deejays have a passion for the music. It's a radio station without commercials. People like to hear \u2018just\u2019 the music. This award means a great deal to me. It says that we are reaching our audience\u2019s expectations and they enjoy what we try to do here at WSGE\u2014play good music for our listeners. They enjoy us playing their requests as well.\u201d\nHamilton continued, \u201cI just would like to thank everyone who supports this \u2018rare\u2019 best kept secret of great music.

Dr. Nelson will be Genelex\u2019s high-level liaison to physicians, specialists, and organizations, helping to them to understand the clinical benefits and develop protocols for how to incorporate gene-based prescribing into their workflow to achieve improved patient care.\nDr. John Nelson, MD, MPH is a board-certified OB/GYN with over 30 years of clinical practice and served as the president of the American Medical Association from 2004-2005. \"For many years, I avoided any relationship with companies and products\u2014until now,\" says Dr. Nelson. \"As I have become familiar with the YouScript program at Genelex, I am finally impressed. By personalizing the drug and dose of medication to an individual patient, I can achieve better outcomes and do so at reduced costs.\" As up to 20% of readmissions may be due to adverse drug events, \"the opportunity is now available for all clinicians to apply this meaningful intervention to their patients.\"\nDr. Nelson\u2019s had personal experience with adverse drug events. At one point, his wife was on a combination of ibuprofen, low-dose aspirin, and Plavix\u00ae. YouScript analysis revealed that both the ibuprofen-aspirin combination and certain variations in her genotype increased her risk of potentially serious bleeding. Dr. Nelson spoke with her doctor about this and her drug regimen was changed.\nDr. Nelson has been in active clinical practice of obstetrics and gynecology since 1975 and currently sees patients at the Health Clinics of Utah. He was a charter member of the Prospective Payment Assessment Commission (now MedPAC) and has recently served on the Advisory Committee to the Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). He is currently the Chief Medical Officer at Leavitt Partners in Salt Lake City, Utah. Dr. Nelson graduated from the University of Utah School of Medicine.",

        "raw_content": "Roman road foundations unearthed by A66 upgrade\nCarriageway reconstruction on the A66 in Cumbria has discovered the foundations of the original Roman road, as well as traces of Roman life and death.\nThe \u00a35M upgrade at Eden Valley has unearthed pottery post-holes for timber housing and a Roman grave, as well as the road.\nHighway England project manager Steve Mason said: \u201cAs we\u2019re essentially replacing the ancient foundations of the A66 between Low Moor and Kirkby Thore we realised before starting the work that we might come across Roman remains.\n\u201cWe\u2019ve worked very closely with archaeologists for several months and it\u2019s been very interesting to see what kind of things are turning up. It has added a bit more complexity to planning and delivering the improvements, but we\u2019ve been determined from the outset to ensure that what we find on site is treated seriously and sensitively.\u201d\nHighways England has been working alongside Guard Archaeology and Amey Consulting on the archaeological aspects of the project.\nThe route of the modern A66 roughly follows an important Roman road which linked the Roman forts and settlements of Cumbria with the Roman forts and settlements of North Yorkshire, passing by through the vicus (or village) that lay just outside the Roman Fort of Bravoniacum, which lies below modern-day Kirkby Thore.\nGuard excavation director John-James Atkinson said: Not only have we revealed the foundations of the Roman road but we have revealed traces of timber buildings that lay adjacent to the Roman road to the south-west of the fort. While the timber has long since rotted away, the construction of these buildings has left post-holes and pits from which we have recovered a variety of Roman pottery sherds.\nThe sherds include Samian pottery from Roman Gaul which was once used as fine tableware for rich and well-connected soldiers and citizens, amphorae which may have once held wine or olive oil from the Mediterranean as well as more common greyware and coarse ware that was made in Roman Britain itself.\nA26 fully reopened after May ground collapse\nKent County Council has confirmed that the A26 Tonbridge Road in Maidstone has fully reopened for the first time since a void was discovered below the road at the end of May.",

        "raw_content": "Before the introduction of civil partnerships and same sex marriages, it used to be the case that same sex couples were discriminated against by not being able to obtain legal recognition of their relationship their relationship in any way. Since legislation was introduced allowing same-sex couples to marry, they have been able to choose how they formalise their relationship but for same heterosexual couples, the only option is marriage.\nCivil partnerships are to be extended to heterosexual couples, the prime minister has said, following a Supreme Court ruling earlier this year that existing discrimination is unlawful.\nIn June, family solicitors urged the government to extend civil partnerships to couples of the opposite sex after the Supreme Court ruled in Steinfeld and Keidan v Secretary of State for International Development that there was no justification for the ongoing discrimination.\nIn a joint statement, Steinfeld and Keidan welcomed the PM\u2019s pledge, but also called for a firm date for the reform.\nWhilst many welcome this development as it will provide protection to those who live together but do not want to marry, what it will not do is give any protection to the increasing number of couples who do live together but do not want to marry nor enter in to a civil partnership. That anomaly still needs to be dealt with.\u2019\nLaw Society president Christina Blacklaws said: 'We have been in favour of extending civil partnerships to opposite sex couples for a long time. That\u2019s because we support the principle of non-discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation. So we\u2019re pleased to see the government is responding to recent judge-led decisions highlighting the need for changes in the law to reflect 21st century society in this country.\n'The law needs to catch up with, and reflect, the multiple ways in which people choose to live their lives today. We are absolutely in favour of a review of all areas of the law affecting civil and religious contracts/marriages/partnerships.\u2019",

They had their faces covered with balaclavas and were wearing dark sports clothing.\nOfficers searched the area, with support from a dog unit on the ground and the police helicopter, but did not trace the three men.\nDetective Constable Paul Thomas said: \"This was a concerning incident where an innocent member of the public has been threatened by three men.\n\"Fortunately the victim was not harmed during the incident but he has understandably been left shaken by what must have been a very frightening experience.\n\"I would like to hear from anyone who witnessed a group of men acting suspiciously in Farleigh Road late on Tuesday evening (January 1).\n\"I believe there is also a strong possibility that the suspects may have had a vehicle parked in the area and I would urge anyone who saw a group of three men getting into a vehicle at around the time of the incident to contact police as a matter of urgency.\"\nAnyone with any information on the attempted robbery should call Surrey Police on 101 quoting reference TD/13/15.",

        "raw_content": "Select a City Hakone Kyoto Tokyo\nUntil the 19th century, Tokyo was known as Edo. It started out as a fishing village, but grew to become the seat of a feudal government in the early 17th century. Emperor Meiji moved the capital from Kyoto to Edo in 1868 and renamed it Tokyo, or \u201cEastern Capital.\u201d By then it had become one of the world\u2019s most populous cities. After World War II it was completely rebuilt. Today, Tokyo is more than just a large city \u2013 it is a metropolis with 23 wards. It provides all that one can desire in the way of culture, art, cuisine, and shopping. From the Ginza district to the Sumida River there is so much for today\u2019s traveler.\nKyoto, or \u201ccapital city,\u201d was home to the emperor from 794 to 1868. It was Japan\u2019s political and cultural center for 1,100 years, until the capital was moved to Tokyo. As Kyoto was largely spared from damaging air raids of World War II, numerous temples, shrines, castles, and palaces are still standing today. Among them is the Kiyomizu-dera Temple. Founded in 780, its name means \u201cpure water\u201d and refers to the Otowa Waterfall on-site. It is one of the 17 Monuments of Ancient Kyoto (UNESCO). Nijo Castle, another one of the 17 monuments, was built in 1603 as the residence of the shogun (military dictator). The Kyoto Imperial Palace was where the Imperial family lived until 1868. Kyoto is also well-known for Gion \u2013 its most famous Geisha district \u2013 and for its beautiful gardens.\nHiroshima will forever be remembered for the devastating event of August 6, 1945: the dropping of the first atomic bomb. Nearly everything within a mile of where the bomb fell was destroyed, and some 80,000 people perished. There were predictions that the city would no longer be habitable. Today, Hiroshima has been rebuilt and a large park was constructed, containing several memorials to the victims. The Peace Memorial Museum focuses on the dropping of the bomb and its aftermath; the Atomic Bomb Dome was one of the few buildings to remain standing afterward; and the Memorial Cenotaph is an arched tomb for those who died. Also worth a visit is Hiroshima Castle. Originally built in 1589, it was five stories tall and was surrounded by a moat. It was destroyed in 1945, rebuilt in 1958, and is now a museum featuring Samurai culture.\nTakayama:\nTakayama means \u201ctall mountain,\u201d and is a city in the mountainous Hida region. During the feudal ages, it became known for its high-quality timber and skilled carpenters. Yet it was kept fairly isolated due to the surrounding mountains. Today it is known for its well-preserved old town. The Hida-Kokubunji Temple is the oldest structure, originally built in 746. It features a huge ginko tree, said to be 1,200 years old, and a three-storied pagoda. The Hida no Sato Folk Village, with its traditional wooden farm houses, is an open-air museum. There are also two morning markets, or Asaichi, held on a daily basis, as well as sake breweries. It is the perfect place for a walk.\nJapanese Cuisine:\nNo trip to Japan would be complete without experiencing its flavorful dishes. A bowl of gohan, or cooked rice, is a central part of Japanese meals. From there we go to sushi, famous both outside of and inside Japan. Sushi is made from cold boiled rice, moistened by vinegar and typically combined with seafood and vegetables. Sashimi is thinly sliced raw food \u2013 most often seafood. (Japan is an island, after all.) The most popular noodles are soba (buckwheat flour), udon (wheat flour), and ramen, a noodle soup dish. Tempura is lightly battered, deep-fried seafood and vegetables. Yakatori refers to grilled chicken skewers you can try at a yakitori-ya. Be sure to enjoy green tea with your meal, as the Japanese do.\nThe Tokyo Skytree:\nThe Tokyo Skytree is the perfect way to get a panoramic view of the city and beyond. A television broadcasting tower, this Tokyo landmark is almost 1,200 feet high and is the tallest structure in Japan. A large shopping complex and an aquarium are at its base, but it\u2019s the two observation decks that warrant a visit. Head to the \u201cworld\u2019s highest skywalk\u201d for views that will take your breath away!\nTemples and Shrines:\nTemples and shrines are found all over Japan, with most municipalities having at least one temple. (Kyoto has 1,200.) Temples are Buddhist places of worship, and they store and display sacred objects. They typically consist of a main hall, a lecture hall, a pagoda, gates, bells, and a cemetery. Some were monasteries in the past, and some still are. Shrines are Shinto places of worship. They are the dwellings of the kami, or Shinto gods. Sacred objects are stored in the innermost chamber, and are not to be seen by anyone. People visit shrines to pay respect to the kami, or to pray for good fortune. The approach to the shrine is marked by Torii gates; the komainu, a pair of guardian dogs or lions, is found on each side of the shrine\u2019s entrance.\nHakone has been a hot springs resort for centuries. There are more than a dozen hot springs, with Yumoto being the most famous. There is much natural beauty to be appreciated here. Lake Ashinoko, or Lake Ashi, was formed in a volcanic caldera after an eruption 3,000 years ago; it is the perfect place for a scenic boat ride with views of Mt. Fuji. The Hakone Shrine, on the shores of Lake Ashi, is Hakone\u2019s most famous Shinto shrine. Three striking Torii gates mark the approach to the shrine. Odawaro Castle is the closest castle to Tokyo, some 60 miles away. Originally built in the 15th century, it has been rebuilt twice since then. Hakone remains a popular destination for the Japanese and tourists alike.\nThere are no foreign lands. It is the traveller only who is foreign.\nSake is a traditional accompaniment to a Japanese meal. Made from fermented rice, it is often referred to as a wine, but it is actually closer to beer. The junmai-shu is the middle grade variety; ginjo and daiginjo are higher. Something to keep in mind: its alcohol content is higher than wine.\nThe Tsukiji Fish Market, located in central Tokyo, is one of the world\u2019s largest fish markets, handling more than 2,000 tons of seafood daily. It retains a traditional feel because it was not designed to be the major tourist attraction it has become today.\nJapanese culture is complex. That\u2019s one of the things I love about going there. Remember, etiquette is important. When you meet someone bow politely.\nFeatured Tours to Japan\nFeatured Deals!

        "raw_content": "It's the 4th and final week of National Safety Month 2018! This week's theme is Driving Safety. This theme is timely for the last week of June as we head into the holiday weekend before July 4th. Driving safety can be a big issue on holidays. People have off, they want to party, and unfortunately, they can impair their judgment, reflexes, and alertness. Here are a few things to keep in mind.\nDon't text while driving!\nOR you could end up like this...\nDon't drive while\n\u200bor intoxicated!\nOR you could end up like this\n- Wear your seatbelt.\n- If your car is having problems, pull off the road and call for help. Don't try to drive a car having trouble.\n- Don't drive while stressed.\n- Don't drive distracted.\n- Don't drive if angry. Road rage isn't helpful.\n\u200b- If you're going to drink, have a designated driver.\nBe smart. Be safe. Enjoy your Independence Day!\nPreventing Slips & Falls\nJune is National Safety Month, and this week's theme is falls.\nCrutches. Canes. Casts. Wheelchairs. Walkers. Boots. What do these devices all have in common? Helping someone injured or immobile to get around safely.\nA couple years ago, I missed a step on my way out the door and ended up with sprained ligaments in my foot. Crutches?\nCheck. Boot? Check. Slipping and falling is not fun...let me tell you.\n\u200bSlips, falls and resulting injuries can happen at any age. One wrong step, one slick floor, one errant wire can change the course of your life for a season, if not permanently.\nThe elderly are especially prone to slips, trips and falls.\n- 1 in 4 seniors fall each year; less than 50% tell their doctor.\n- 3 million seniors are treated annually in ERs for fall injuries.\n- Some 300,000 annually are hospitalized for hip fractures. 95% of those are cause by falls.\n- 1 in 5 falls cause serious injuries like broken bones or head trauma.\nStatistics taken from Centers for Disease Control & Prevention.\nAs we introduced in last week's Golden Nuggets edition, it is 2018's National Safety Month. Every year, the National Safety Council leads the campaign to raise awareness for better safety in our daily lives, our homes and our workplaces. Each week in June has a theme. This year they are Week 1: Emergency Preparedness, Week 2: Wellness, Week 3: Falls, Week 4: Driving. This week is week two, so today, we are focusing on wellness in seniors.\nIt is a known fact, that as we age, so do our bodies. The process itself is inevitable, but the journey toward it is frought with chances to influence it to our own tastes. These chances are grounded in our daily choices - will we eat ice cream or salad, will we walk today or sit on the couch, will we watch tv all day or read a good book? Our choices affect our health and wellness - mental, emotional, physical and spiritual. We should want to make choices that promote our positive health and wellness. These choices will lead to better health in our later years and save us money.\nGood Nutritious Choices\nA friend once said to me, \"If you can't read it, don't eat it.\" She was referring to the list of ingredients included on all food items in the grocery store. If you can't read an ingredient, you don't know what you're putting in your body. Is it really nutritious? Read the labels.\n\u200bBright, or deep colored foods are always the best choice as they are indicators of\nfoods high in nutrients. A healthy meal can include each of the following:\nLean protein (lean meats, salmon, eggs, beans)\nFruits and vegetables (bright colors like orange, red, green, and purple)\nWhole grains (brown rice, whole wheat pasta, quinoa)\nLow-fat dairy (or nondairy like soy or almond)\nUse recommended serving sizes. You don't want to overstuff yourself as it hinders good digestion, and can add weight.

We are now halfway through 2018. Unbelievable! You know what else is unbelievable? How many people are unaware of\n(or simply ignore) safety issues in their homes, workplaces and our daily lives. \u200b\u200bWhat happens if you don\u2019t wash your hands? What happens if your house catches fire and you don\u2019t have a smoke detector? What happens if you are in an accident and don\u2019t have an emergency contact and medical card? What happens if you aren\u2019t wearing your seat belt and you get into a car accident? What happens if a blizzard hits, you lose power, and you don\u2019t have a generator or emergency food stores?\nSafety is paramount in any situation or environment we may find ourselves in. We need to be aware of our surroundings and develop plans to handle emergencies.\nJune is National Safety Month. Each year, the National Safety Council launches a campaign to raise awareness of safety issues in our lives, homes and workplaces. Each week has a theme. For 2018, the themes are as follows: Week 1 - Emergency Preparedness, Week 2 - Wellness, Week 3 - Falls, Week 4 - Driving. Join us in this edition of Golden Nuggets, and on our blog each week in the month of June, to explore safety on these themes, and in other areas of our lives. Wishing you a happy (and safe!) Summer!\nps. Don\u2019t forget your sunblock!\n\u200bJune 2018: LaChelle B. - LaChelle B. joined the Golden Horizons team in October 2012. In her time with with us, she has demonstrated consistency and dedication to her clients. When we need a caregiver, she says yes, and that yes leads to excellent care for her clients. Thank you for all your hard work LaChelle. Congratulations!\n\u200b\u201cWords are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind.\u201d\n~ Rudyard Kipling ~\nCultural Tidbit: Joseph Rudyard Kipling (pen name Rudyard Kipling) was a prolific British writer, known for his versatility in style - poetry, short story, fiction, WWI propaganda, novels. Some of his most famous works include the novel The Jungle Book (1894), short story The Man Who Would Be King (1888), and poem Mandalay (1892). In 1907, he received the Nobel Prize for literature. Kipling\u2019s pieces were influenced by his early days in India, where he was born in Bombay on December 30, 1865, his world travels, and geopolitical happenings of his day. He died in on January 18, 1936, in London, was cremated, and his ashes buried at Poets\u2019 Corner in Westminster Abbey.\u200b\u200b\nSpecial Note: It's Mr. W's Birthday!!!\n\u200bOur very own Mr. W is celebrating his birthday on June 8!

        "raw_content": "Library retains, refiles book\nAn Evans mother vowed Monday to picket the Weld Library District for keeping a critically acclaimed sex education book on the shelves.\nA pastor and a Greeley Christian bookstore owner were among several others who urged the library board to ban \u201cIt\u2019s Perfectly Normal: Changing Bodies, Growing Up, Sex & Sexual Health\u201d during a meeting attended by about a dozen.\nJeannie McAllister of Evans asked the library board to ban the book after her young children brought it home and flipped through illustrations that include a couple having sex, a man putting on a condom and childbirth.\nMcAllister described the illustrations as pornographic and warned they could lead children to a lifelong sexual addiction.\n\u201cThey pick up a book like this and their sexual curiosity is awakened. Their passions are aroused,\u201d McAllister said.\nThe Rev. Ray Grant said the book \u2013 which broaches topics such as sexual abuse, sexually transmitted disease, homosexuality and abortion \u2013 is unsuitable for children and even most adults.\nChildren\u2019s curiosity about sex should be satisfied only after marriage, and if they are afraid of sexually transmitted disease, \u201clet them abstain,\u201d Grant said.\nLibrary board members agreed to move the book from the children\u2019s section to the young adult area, but they resisted calls for banning the award-winning book, which a Los Angeles Times review recommended \u201cfor talking your way through just about any embarrassing interrogation your ever-curious kids can devise.\u201d\nLibrary board member Ron Baker bought \u201cIt\u2019s Perfectly Normal\u201d to help teach his two daughters about topics that are tough to discuss, he said. The book has won many awards, including the Will Solimene Award for Excellence in Medical Communication and a listing as a New York Times notable book of the year.\nBut the library board\u2019s defense of the book went beyond the content value and stepped into the philosophical purpose of public libraries.\nThe way Weld librarians and the American Library Association see it, libraries are meant to offer books that represent a broad range of ideas, and books shouldn\u2019t be banned because someone disagrees with the content.\nLibrary Board Member Janine Freeman said she has \u201cvery strong beliefs in the good Lord\u201d and probably wouldn\u2019t show \u201cIt\u2019s Perfectly Normal\u201d to her kids.\n\u201cI understand where you are coming from,\u201d Freeman told those who want the book banned. \u201cBut if we start taking books off our shelves, we lose the most important thing, and that\u2019s freedom.\u201d\nWindsor mother Melinda Eckhardt understands the value of freedom, she said, but the library board should have made an exception for \u201cIt\u2019s Perfectly Normal.\u201d\n\u201cThis book on the shelves frankly scares me to death,\u201d she said.\nEckhardt promised to join McAllister\u2019s picket.\nMcAllister still needs to decide when and where she will picket, she said. Wherever it is, she is apt to run into those who disagree, such as John Bookman of Greeley.\nBookman said parents, not the library board or other residents, need to be responsible for deciding what their kids read.\n\u201cLibraries are not safe places, and the reason for that is there are ideas to be found,\u201d Bookman said.",

While drug distribution or trafficking can result in lengthy jail sentences or extensive fines, simply being in possession of an illegal drug (known as a controlled substance) can also lead to severe punishments. Those who are facing drug charges for possession should be sure to understand how Wisconsin laws affect them.\nPenalties for Drug Possession\nUnder Wisconsin law, it is illegal to possess or attempt to possess a controlled substance, unless a person has a valid prescription or is legally authorized to possess the drug in question. Controlled substances are grouped into different \u201cschedules\u201d depending on their potential for abuse and their accepted use for medical treatment.\nTagged in: drug crimes drug possession drug possession conviction Milwaukee Criminal Defense Attorney possession of a controlled substance\nComputer Crimes: What is Hacking?\nPosted on\t April 19, 2018 in Criminal Defense\nIn today\u2019s digital world, we spend a great deal of time using computers and communicating with others on the Internet. Due to the increased importance of electronic communication, law enforcement organizations are cracking down on computer crimes (also referred to as cyber crimes or hacking). However, many people may not realize that they have committed any illegal acts, so it is important to understand what is considered a computer crime and the possible penalties that an alleged hacker may face.\nWisconsin Computer Crimes\nUnder Wisconsin law, computer crimes fall into two categories:\nTagged in: computer crimes federal computer crimes hacking Milwaukee Criminal Defense Attorney trafficking passwords\nGet a Drinking Ticket in College? You Might Want to Call a Lawyer\nBy: Attorney Steven McGaver and Law Clerk Ken Baker\nAn underage drinking ticket in Wisconsin faces a penalty of a fine from $250 to $500 for the first offense. Many students believe that this is the end of their punishment and the consultation of an attorney is not necessary. Moreover, students wrongly think that if their drinking tickets take place off-campus, they are immune from disciplinary action from the University. However, this is not the case. Recently, Universities have become increasingly strict about underage drinking and have started using these drinking tickets as a way to impose additional academic punishments.\nAccording to one university\u2019s student conduct policy, the university \u201creserves the right to investigate and subsequently take university action for behavior of students in off-campus situations.\u201d Even more surprising to some students is that the university has the right to discipline students because of their actions while studying abroad. Universities have the power to discipline a student in a number of ways including:\nTagged in: college drinking drinking ticket Milwaukee Criminal Defense Attorney student conduct policy under age drinking\nSteven Avery Denied a New Trial\nThis week Circuit Court Judge Angela Sutkiewicz of Sheboygan County considered whether to grant a new trial in the Steven Avery case; a case that captured the country\u2019s attention with the popular Netflix series, \u201cMaking a Murderer.\u201d The case centers on the alleged rape and murder of Teresa Halbach. The Netflix mini-series highlights the unusual police investigation and trial that resulted in Avery being convicted and sentenced to life in prison. However, the newest development that is not documented in the mini-series is the court\u2019s denial of Avery\u2019s motion for a new trial. As grounds for the denial, the court held that Avery ignored a procedural rule that requires a defendant to prove new evidence was not available in previous post-conviction motions.\nThis latest motion for a new trial is Avery\u2019s second attempt to have a jury re-hear the case. Avery\u2019s attorney argued that developments in DNA testing and ballistic forensics constituted \u201cnew evidence\u201d under Wisconsin law and required the court to grant a new trial. The court\u2019s denial of Avery\u2019s motion for a new trial addressed three specific claims of \u201cnew evidence.\u201d\nTagged in: Making a Murderer Milwaukee Criminal Defense Attorney rape Steven Avery case Teresa Halbach\nWhat Is the Punishment for Using a Fake ID to Buy Alcoholic Beverages in Wisconsin?\nDrinking alcohol under age 21 as well as using a fake ID that states you are of age, is illegal. Fake ID charges can have far-reaching consequences and should be taken seriously. Those who are underage should be aware that mere possession of a fake ID\u2014even if it belonged to an older sibling\u2014is a crime. It is also a crime to present the fake ID to a bar, restaurant, or store in Wisconsin\nPenalties Under Wisconsin Law\nIf it is proven beyond a reasonable doubt that you possessed or used a fake ID, you could face several penalties. Wisconsin law provides for a fine of $300 to $1,250, suspension of driving privileges for 30 to 90 days, community service, or any combination of these penalties. Exactly what sentence you receive will depend on the judge, your criminal history, and the severity of the offense. For example, if you were buying significant amounts of alcohol or were extremely inebriated at the time of your arrest, you may face harsher penalties.\nTagged in: fake id juvenile crimes Milwaukee Criminal Defense Attorney Milwaukee juvenile crimes lawyer underage drinking\nNIH Survey Shows Drug, Alcohol and Cigarette Use Declines Among Teens\nPosted on\t February 07, 2017 in Drug Crimes\nA recent study shows that the use of many illegal substances is down among U.S. teens. The only substance that did not see a decline in usage was marijuana, which remained stable. Conducted by the National Institute of Health (NIH), the results are based on the Monitoring the Future (MTF) survey of teenagers in the eighth, tenth and twelfth grades. Public health officials are encouraged by the findings and believe that consistent and fact-based public service campaigns have contributed to the declining numbers.\nAlcohol and Cigarette Use Declines\nThe number of teens who reported that they have \u201cbeen drunk\u201d in the past year are at the lowest point ever in the MTF survey\u2019s history. In 2016, 37.3 percent of high school seniors reported in the survey as being drunk at least once. This number peaked in 2001, when 53.2 percent of seniors reported that they had been drunk at least once in the previous year.\nTagged in: drug charges drug crimes Milwaukee Criminal Defense Attorney Milwaukee drug crimes lawyer Milwaukee juvenile crimes lawyer",

        "raw_content": "Home News Medical Cannabis News Exploring patient experience with Aurora Cannabis\nWhile research and medical understanding has grown, there\u2019s still much to learn about cannabis and its medical applications. Aurora Cannabis shares its story.\nWhile most teenagers perfect the art of lying in, Director of Advocacy and Corporate Social Responsibility at Aurora Cannabis, Jonathan Zaid struggled just to fall asleep. From the age of 14, insomnia and piercing headaches disrupted Zaid\u2019s life. While other Canadian kids were playing hockey and going to class, he was cloistered by pain. A diagnosis \u2013 new daily persistent headache \u2013 did little to quell his symptoms. A mix of pharmaceuticals only served to foggy his existence, and eventually proved so disruptive they prevented him from attending school.\n\u201cWhen I first got sick, I was essentially homebound,\u201d said Zaid.\nFive years after doctors served him with a diagnosis and handfuls of pills, at the age of 19, Zaid finally found relief \u2013 but not from traditional prescriptions. It was a plant that finally allowed him to manage his symptoms and reclaim his life.\nMedical cannabis did what other painkillers could not: manage Zaid\u2019s pain. He was finally able to re-join his peers in the classroom. But at the University of Waterloo, he ran into a different barrier: obtaining insurance coverage for his medical cannabis.\nHe lobbied the student union and eventually won coverage for himself and other students with specific needs, but the experience also opened his eyes to a broader problem. While he\u2019d won the battle on one campus, cannabis patients across Canada were fighting similar wars with insurers, employers and their own government.\nZaid recognised a need for more information \u2014 patients, doctors, policymakers and politicians alike all needed to know more, and easier access was essential. So he founded Canadians For Fair Access to Medical Marijuana (CFAMM), which blazed the trail for cannabis access in a country that\u2019s now leading the way. Today, the group boasts 20,000 members and it continues to lobby Canadian governments to ensure cannabis is treated the same way as any other medicine. Across Canada, there are now more than 340,000 medical cannabis patients. Yet, issues related to access, taxation and insurance coverage remain, even in the largest country in the world to legalise recreational cannabis.\nBut Zaid doesn\u2019t want to stop with Canada. He knows well the value of cannabis as a medicine and believes international access is not just the right thing to do, but the best way to increase the research and medical understanding of cannabis. It\u2019s time to take the movement to Europe and around the globe.\n\u201cMedical cannabis access is a fundamental human rights issues,\u201d Zaid said in a recent interview from Canada, where he now works in the legal cannabis industry. He joined Aurora Cannabis as its director of advocacy and corporate social responsibility in the middle of last year because he truly believes the company \u201cgets it\u201d.\nWhat enticed him was not the pay cheque, but the fact that everyone from CEO Terry Booth on down shares his belief that cannabis holds the potential to revolutionise medicine.\nAurora\u2019s leadership \u201cbelieves this is a global and noble business,\u201d Zaid said. \u201cIt\u2019s really about bringing medicine to everyone around the world.\u201d\nThe company\u2019s global footprint speaks for itself.\nAurora is one of Canada\u2019s largest licensed producers of medical and recreational cannabis, and it\u2019s a global leader in research, policy and advocacy. The company, headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta, has export agreements in 22 countries around the world and on five continents. It has research agreements in countries and universities that speckle the globe. And it\u2019s in the midst of building the largest medical cannabis production facility in Europe, in Denmark, where it has also committed millions to further study of the medical uses of cannabis.\n\u201cMedical cannabis is a not an option for patients who need it, and they need to be able to depend on high-quality medicine to treat their symptoms,\u201d said Cam Battley, Aurora\u2019s chief corporate officer.\nAurora Cannabis puts people before profits\nBeyond its social good, medical cannabis is also good business; in Europe alone, the strategists at Prohibition Partners expect the medical cannabis market to top \u20ac55bn over the next decade. Aurora is well positioned to tap into the nearly 500-person market, with supply deals and facilities in countries across the continent, from Germany to Italy to Malta to Poland and, most recently, to Luxembourg, just to name a few.\nBut Aurora\u2019s leadership team knows it\u2019s not just about the money. It is, as Zaid puts it, about human rights, harm reduction and access to scientifically proven medical treatments.\nBecause stories like Zaid\u2019s are not unique, and while research and medical understanding has grown, there\u2019s still much to learn about cannabis and its medical applications. A century of prohibition stymied research, and it wasn\u2019t until the 1990s that the endocannabinoid system \u2014 the part of the human nervous system that interacts with and absorbs the cannabinoids present in cannabis \u2014 was even discovered. Three decades later, patients around the world face deeply uneven access despite the growing body of peer-reviewed research and heart-warming anecdotal success stories.\nMedical cannabis in Europe\nEurope is no exception to borders creating barriers to medical cannabis access. There may be some level of medical cannabis access in more than 20 European nations, but the differences in policies are stark. With little guidance from the European Union, and little indication its parliament wants to move quickly, Member States are creating a patchwork of policies across the continent.\nIn many cases, patients themselves are advocating for change. Sometimes, it\u2019s even a desperate mother willing to challenge public policymakers who provides the catalyst for change.\nLast year, Hannah Deacon made a very public plea and mounted an online campaign that helped propel medical cannabis legalisation in the UK. But she wasn\u2019t seeking relief for herself; she was seeking it for her six-year-old son, Alfie.\nAlfie\u2019s epilepsy is so severe that he suffered from as many as 30 seizures a day, and traditional pharmaceuticals did little to calm his shaking body. Steroids provided some relief but created a host of other complications.\nIn one year, he was hospitalised 48 times, so his mom took him to the Netherlands, where he was treated with cannabis oil. And like so many other small children with rare but persistent seizures, it worked: his body finally fell still. But when they returned to the UK, this life-changing medicine was suddenly illegal. So his mom created an online petition and mounted a public pressure campaign as she also appealed directly to politicians.\nAs Alfie\u2019s story made national news, other families started sharing their struggles to treat their epileptic children, and the push for legal medical cannabis in the UK gained international traction. By the end of last summer, the UK\u2019s Home Office was involved in ensuring access in another case, and the United Kingdom moved swiftly toward legalising access to medical cannabis.\nBy November of last year, just a few short months after Alfie\u2019s mum\u2019s plea, it was UK law.\nBut for many medical cannabis advocates, it\u2019s only a baby step in the right direction. As with many other countries in Europe, the barriers to access in the UK remain high, with only specialised doctors allowed to prescribe cannabis and only after all other treatment options have failed.\nCannabis and pain management: one patient\u2019s experience\nFor Zaid, and for many others, that\u2019s a missed opportunity, especially given the reliance among medical professionals around the world on opioids for pain management.\nAs opioid addiction rates rise and the evidence about the harmful effects of long-term opioid use mounts, Zaid joins a growing chorus in touting the benefits of cannabis as an alternative for pain management. Studies in California have shown cannabis can effectively replace methadone for some recovering addicts, and many medical cannabis users come to the plant almost reluctantly after finding opioids ineffective or mind numbing.\nFor Peter Thurley \u2014 today a board member at CFAMM, the organisation founded by Zaid \u2014 cannabis restored his quality of life after a rare form of cancer first threatened it.\nIn 2015, Thurley was diagnosed with a large desmoid tumour, a rare form of colon cancer that only affects about one to two persons per million. Drastic surgery was required to remove it, and part of his digestive system along with it, and he remembers leaving the hospital with a \u201cmittful of opiates\u201d.\nThe tumour was gone, but the pain lingered, and he soon found that opioids were a barrier to meaningful work \u2013 and relationships.\n\u201cI was left in a daze all the time,\u201d Thurley said. \u201cThe pain is gone but nobody is home.\u201d\nFriends recommended medical cannabis. Though sceptical at first, he pushed for access, first against a sceptical medical establishment and then against a system that left him with more questions than answers. He confesses it was a black-market dispensary that taught him how to effectively and safely consume his new medicine. But it was his wife\u2019s reaction that crystalised how much opiates were affecting him.\n\u201cShe says that cannabis gave her back her husband,\u201d he said, nearly four years later and a now committed advocate for medical cannabis access. He says Canada can of course do more, ensuring cannabis is exempt from sales taxes in the way other medicines are, but he also feels that other countries can improve on its experience.\nAdvice for governments\nAurora Cannabis is committed to helping policymakers and elected officials get things right. They have helped inform policymaking at home and in countries around the world, and they continue to assist governments in increasing access to medical cannabis whenever they can.\n\u201cThe world watched as Canada moved forward with a federally regulated system for medical cannabis, and countries in the EU and elsewhere were very interested in learning from us,\u201d said Battley of his experience working with governments around the world on cannabis law. \u201cAurora has unique expertise in helping governments establish medical cannabis systems, and ultimately in providing high-quality medical-grade cannabis to patients in those countries. It\u2019s something we know how to do very well and are very willing to talk about with healthcare professionals, government bureaucrats and politicians.\n\u201cPersonally, and throughout my career in politics, management consulting and bio-pharma, I\u2019ve never met as many foreign diplomats as I have in the last few years. They are thirsty for knowledge and insight into how to bring a medical cannabis system to life in their own countries \u2013 and they are grateful for our advice and insight.\u201d\nWhat can Europe learn from Canada?\nAs a patient, Zaid says there are a few key lessons from the Canadian experience European regulators should follow.\nFirst, Canada has respected medical professionals\u2019 discretion. Medical cannabis can be prescribed by doctors and nurse practitioners, which increases access points for patients.\nBut unlike many countries, Canada has not put limits on what ailments cannabis can be prescribed to address. This has prevented situations where a patient may benefit from cannabis but not fall perfectly within the diagnosis criteria to obtain it, which has prevented patients in other countries from accessing the medicine. Some countries go so far as to outline specific types of, as an example, childhood epilepsy for which cannabis can be prescribed. By taking a more liberal approach, Canada has not only helped patients but increased knowledge among prescribers.\nCanada has also allowed multiple forms of cannabis to be prescribed. Some countries have banned anything but pharmaceutical derivatives or prevented cannabis flower from qualifying for a prescription. But for some patients, it\u2019s the combined benefits of the whole flower \u2013 the blooming bud the female cannabis plant produces \u2013 that prove the most effective. For others, it\u2019s a specific oil or a capsule of THC, CBD or some combination thereof that works best. Ensuring the appropriate form of cannabis can be consumed by a patient can be as important as allowing access in the first place.\nThirdly, Health Canada \u2013 the country\u2019s regulator of all pharmaceuticals \u2013 has taken a collaborative approach to both the recreational and pharmaceutical oversight. That has allowed licensed producers to work with the regulator to ensure access and best practices for growing, and Zaid says it has contributed to destigmatising cannabis by ensuring any new rules are developed through consultation and old ones can be revisited if found to be outmoded.\nKey lessons: education, affordability and access\nHe adds there are other ways that European regulators can learn from Canada\u2019s experience and create a system that\u2019s friendlier to patients and public health.\nIt starts with education.\nMedical professionals should start learning about the benefits and drawbacks of cannabis as medicine as legalisation begins, not after. The public also needs to be informed and educated to combat stigma, and patients need to learn about the best ways to consume and what strains or methods work for them \u2013 so, unlike Thurley, they can avoid reaching out to illicit sources for knowledge. The information is largely there, it just needs to be gathered and communicated. Education is also about increasing the shared knowledge base, and that requires the best longitudinal research.\nAurora Cannabis is a world leader in contributing to research projects in Canada, Europe and elsewhere, but often it\u2019s private companies and not governments that are driving cannabis research forward. Legal barriers have held back many academics as well, but as those are lifted, governments need to join the private sector in funding and supporting medical cannabis research.\nThe second is affordability. Canadian patients still often struggle to afford cannabis; only recently have mainstream insurers started to broadly cover it as medicine, and many government-funded drug plans for young, old or low-income Canadians still erect high barriers to coverage. Taxation of cannabis also remains an issue, as does the price point of certain forms of cannabis. Lowering those costs will come with both scale and increased coverage, but many patients are still stuck in an expensive limbo.\nThird is access. Getting a cannabis prescription can still be hard for some Canadians, especially those who live in remote areas and have limited access to medical professionals. But Zaid said it\u2019s often more about accessing the right form of the drug, whether that\u2019s because of cost barriers or production shortages.\nProgress is on the horizon\nCountries like France are already working to improve upon Canada\u2019s and other countries\u2019 experiences. That nation is engaging in deep studies and collaborations in order to get a framework right before pressing ahead with legal medical cannabis, but there as in so many other corners of the globe, the questions is less and less \u2018ci?\u2019 mais \u2018quand?\u2019.\nMedical cannabis is increasingly a reality in Europe. Many countries may be tiptoeing toward change, but 2018 saw the industry leap forward in legal access and public opinion. Germany now presents medical cannabis producers like Aurora a massive opportunity, and the company has seized it. In a country of more than 82 million consumers, Aurora Cannabis already holds a majority of market share. It has partnered with local leaders to create a German-owned subsidiary and employs more than 70 people in the country. And it\u2019s bringing innovation with it, by working to bring the country\u2019s first cannabis oils to market later this year.\nThe Aurora commitment\nBut none of this progress would be possible without the Aurora Standard of high-quality cannabis. The country was among the first in the world to build facilities that meet the highest pharmaceutical standards required to sell medicines in Europe: the Good Manufacturing Procedure (GMP) certification. This standard ensures the highest quality production, in the safest way possible for medicines that are appropriate for their intended use and clinically proven. The meaning of GMP is to meet the quality standard not only by testing the final product but to minimise the risks involved in any pharmaceutical production by design of the production process itself.\nAurora\u2019s commitment to quality production, from seed through to patients receiving their medicine, earned the regulatory approval. The Aurora Standard, the company commitment to quality, didn\u2019t stop there, and it continues to innovate. It is constantly seeking to improve its existing facilities and building bigger, better, more efficient and high-quality production sites around the world.\n\u201cAurora\u2019s commitment to the highest quality standards is well known around the world, and, as a company, we have invested in every aspect of production, distribution and sale to meet these standards every day,\u201d said Battley. \u201cOur eight facilities in Canada and the EU are completely contained, indoor growing operations, with no outdoor exposure. This significantly limits exposure to harmful elements and gives us consistent, reliable supply. We have also designed and built our facilities to meet stringent EU GMP certification because our commitment to medical patients around the world is a company priority.\u201d\nFor patients, that high quality is reassuring, and it\u2019s often essential for those who may have lowered immune systems. While the nature of GMP is not well understood, it signals a pharmaceutical-grade quality control that\u2019s immediately reassuring, regardless of where a patient lives.\n\u201cQuality-controlled medicine that has the information patients need is really important,\u201d Zaid said. \u201cUltimately, patients are looking for something up to very high standards of pharmaceuticals and that\u2019s what GMP is.\u201d\nAurora offers a unique insight to European regulators and policymakers seeking information, just as it offers patients a unique, globally accessible quality product. As more and more patients around the world find relief from an ancient plant, Aurora \u2013 like the country where it was founded \u2013 is taking a global lead.\nAurora\u2019s story, like medical cannabis, is evolving quickly and so much has yet to be written. But it\u2019s rooted in core social values to ensure global access to life-changing medicine that is produced to the highest possible standard. It\u2019s supporting research to improve our collective understanding of medical cannabis and constantly adapting its practices to adhere to a shifting regulatory and scientific landscape. Like the northern lights after which it is named, the company is never static.\nInstead, it seeks to inspire and offers constants \u2014quality, insight, commitment to social responsibility and responsible use \u2014 that allow it to be malleable in a world of flux.\nFor patients like Thurley, who counts Aurora among his three licensed suppliers of medical cannabis, that authenticity is appealing. He embraces the plant and fights for equal access and appreciates a company that does the same.\n\u201cAurora is among the more vocal, particularly among the major companies, in the cannabis industry in Canada,\u201d he said in an interview from his home in Waterloo, Ontario. \u201cIt\u2019s the most vocal with respect to patient rights. They\u2019ve been willing to put their money where their mouth is.\n\u201cAurora is certainly one of the leaders in using their voice to keep the focus on patients.\u201d\nheather.macgregor@auroramj.com\nhttps://www.auroramj.com/",

For this reason, we always recommend to keep your Will up-to-date and review it periodically.\nWe can make sure that your family\u2019s future is secure and your wishes are met.\nA Power of Attorney is a legal document whereby one person grants another person the authority to make legal and financial decisions on their behalf.\nA Power of Attorney can be used in several ways from having another take care of your affairs whilst travelling to times of extended illness.\nAn Enduring Power of Attorney takes this a step further, whereby the person nominated to manage the affairs (also called the \u201cDonee\u201d) may continue to manage the affairs once the person giving the power (also called the \u201cDonor\u201d) is found to have diminished mental capacity due to injury or illness. This arrangement can remain in place as long as the Donor is still alive.\nPowers of Attorney can be prepared in two ways \u2013 to come into effect immediately and to continue once the Donor suffers a loss of capacity; or to come into effect at a future time (such as the onset of mental incapacity).\nIn order to sign a Power of Attorney, the Donor must be capable of understanding the nature of the document they are signing and its effect. It is therefore important in situations where a Power of Attorney must be appointed that it is done so in a timely manner.\nSimilar to a Power of Attorney, an Enduring Guardian can be appointed to make decisions for you in the event you lose the capacity to do so for yourself. The Power of Attorney is able to make financial decisions on your behalf. The Enduring Guardian is able to make decisions regarding your health, lifestyle and medical needs.\nThe NSW Guardianship Act allows you to nominate which decisions you want your Enduring Guardian to make (in terms of personal and lifestyle decisions) on your behalf when you are not capable of making those decisions yourself.\nGive yourself peace of mind and contact us today for expert estate planning advice.",

        "title": "How Much of CAM Is Based on Research Evidence?",
        "raw_content": "http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/ecam/nep044\nHow Much of CAM Is Based on Research Evidence?\nCopyright \u00a9 2011 Edzard Ernst. This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.\nThe aim of this article is to provide a preliminary estimate of how much CAM is evidence-based. For this purpose, I calculated the percentage of 685 treatment/condition pairings evaluated in the \u201cDesktop Guide to Complementary and Alternative Medicine\u201d which are supported by sound data. The resulting figure was 7.4%. For a range of reasons, it might be a gross over-estimate. Further investigations into this subject are required to arrive at more representative figures.\nA lively discussion exists about the question as to how much of conventional medicine might be based on sound evidence [1]. One figure that is often cited is 15% [2]. It presents, however, unreliable and out-dated information: the figure can be traced back to a small survey conducted in 1960/61 of prescribing practises of family doctors in a northern British town, which looked toward controlling prescribing costs [3]. Other experts have published more convincing data showing that an average of 76% of interventions are supported by some form of compelling evidence, with an average of 37% of interventions being supported by randomized clinical trials (RCTs) [3]. A recent systematic review [4] of the topic found that, in general internal medicine, over 50% [5] and in psychiatry over 65% [6] of interventions are based on positive data from RCTs.\nThe discussion about the evidence-base of CAM is far less lively. Here I present a first attempt to generate some data and hopefully a constructive discussion on this potentially important subject.\nAs a basis for my assessment, I used our own book The Desktop Guide to Complementary and Alternative Medicine [6]. In this book, we evaluate the research evidence from clinical trials and systematic reviews as it pertains to any type of CAM for a wide range of conditions (n = 46). For each condition, we compiled a \u201csummary of clinical evidence\u201d table in which the treatments are categorized according to the \u201cweight\u201d and \u201cdirection\u201d of the evidence. The \u201cweight\u201d is conceptualized as a composite measure of the quantity, quality and level of the research evidence, which refers to the confidence that can be placed on that evidence [6]. The quantity refers to the total patient sample included in all clinical trials\u2014there could, for instance, be five studies with an average of 20 patients resulting in a total sample of 100; this would be less than a single study with a sample of 300. The quality of the trial evidence refers to the likelihood of bias, usually estimated with a score such as the Jadad score [7]. The level of the evidence refers to the hierarchy of research evidence where systematic reviews are on top and opinion or anecdotal evidence at the bottom. The \u201cdirection\u201d of the evidence signals whether the effect is clearly positive, tentatively positive, uncertain, tentatively negative or clearly negative [6]. The book has a full methods section to maximize transparency and reproducibility. It describes our assessments in more detail [6].\nFor the purpose of this analysis, I have simply counted the number of treatments which obtained the maximum \u201cweight\u201d and also were rated as \u201cclearly positive\u201d in our \u201csummary of clinical evidence\u201d tables. This provided the number of treatments that are supported by good evidence (if one therapy was effective for two indications it was counted twice). Subsequently, this figure was put in relation to the total number of treatment/condition pairings from all the \u201csummary of clinical evidence\u201d tables in our book [6].\nFifty-one treatments were characterized as having maximum \u201cweight\u201d of evidence as well as being \u201cclearly positive.\u201d The total number of treatment/condition pairings was 685. Consequently, 7.4% of them were based on sound evidence. Table 1 provides a list of these 51 treatment/condition pairings.\nTable 1: CAM treatments based on sound evidence.\nThe estimate that 7.4% of CAM is based on sound evidence may well be over-optimistic. We selected the conditions for inclusion in our book [6] on the basis of two main criteria: first, the condition had to be relevant, that is, commonly seen in primary care or frequently treated with CAM and/or there had to be sufficient trial data to write a chapter. Thus, this evidence summarized in the present article represents a positive selection. Had we chosen different conditions for our book, the percentage would most likely have been lower.\nA glance at Table 1 furthermore informs us that several of the included modalities, for example, exercise, group behaviour therapy, stress management, fiber intake or biofeedback, could easily be classified as conventional interventions rather than CAM. Had we excluded them, the percentage of evidence-based CAM would have declined further.\nFinally, several cases of \u201csound\u201d evidence included in Table 1 might need revision in the light of evidence that has emerged since the publication of our book. Examples include saw palmetto (Serenoa repens) [8], glucosamine [9\u201312], Ginkgo biloba [13\u201316] and acupuncture which, according to recent findings, may not be more efficacious than sham acupuncture [17, 18].\nAnother concern is that the present analysis merely relates to the question of how many therapies might be supported by sound research evidence. It does not address the question of how solidly CAM practice is evidence-based. This would require an assessment of which treatments are used and how often. Such a research project would be complex but would certainly be a valuable contribution to the literature.\nAlthough my estimate of how much of CAM is evidence-based draws on a critical evaluation of the available evidence, it still presents a rather optimistic view. Further investigations into this subject are required to arrive at more representative figures.\nE.

(AFP)\nDarren Lehmann enjoyed success as coach of Australia during five years in charge, but there are many who think his eventual exit more than 12 months before the end of his contract was of his own making.\n\u201cBoof\u201d, as he is fondly known, said on Thursday he would step down after this week\u2019s test match against South Africa, following a ball-tampering scandal that rocked the sport.\nHe was cleared of wrongdoing by Cricket Australia, but critics pointed to a culture that had permeated the squad, where the actions of certain players pushed the boundaries of acceptable behaviour, all without sanction from Lehmann.\nHe was seen as more of a mate than a mentor to the players and ignored murmured protests from the fans and opposition about the way his players conducted themselves on the field.\nREAD\u2009|\u2009Darren Lehmann steps down as coach, says \u2018saying goodbye toughest thing I\u2019ve done\u2019\nFormer Australia coach Mickey Arthur is among the critics who believe the ball-tampering scandal was an inevitable result of an unwillingness to improve the culture in the country\u2019s cricket set-up.\nAnd once the team\u2019s culture had come under such intense scrutiny, it always appeared likely that Lehmann would make an exit sooner rather than later, even if he had no direct role in the incident.\nIn the end he fell on his sword just 24 hours after saying he would not resign, citing his anguish at seeing the pain in guilty players Steve Smith, David Warner and Cameron Bancroft. He added that his family had received abuse in the wake of the scandal.\nHe also accepted ultimate responsibility for the culture of the team.\nREAD\u2009|\u2009\u2018Give them some space\u2019 - Sachin Tendulkar offers support to Steve Smith & Co.\nLehmann confirmed in December he would not extend his stint beyond his current contract but this was not the farewell he had imagined after inheriting a beleaguered team from Arthur in 2013 and overseeing World Cup victory in 2015 and two victorious home Ashes campaigns.\nAs a prolific left-handed batsman, Lehmann played only 27 tests as his career coincided with a rich vein of talent in Australia\u2019s middle order but he was a member of two World Cup-winning squads.\nIt was in the Indian Premier League where he found his coaching mojo, guiding Deccan Chargers to their maiden title a season after they had finished last.\nHe also coached Queensland and when the Australia job fell into his lap, Lehmann immediately endeared himself to the team with his relaxed approach that he felt fostered an environment allowing players to express their natural aggression.\nREAD\u2009|\u2009Somerset ditch disgraced Australian cricket team batsman Cameron Bancroft\nIn his first get-together with the players, Lehmann declared no team meeting should last more than 30 minutes and headed to the pub.\nHe also encouraged brave tactics.\n\u201cI was quite an aggressive player myself and I\u2019ve got a captain (Michael Clarke) who is quite aggressive,\u201d Lehmann said in 2014.\n\u201c...so with Clarke it makes it quite a bit easier to implement an aggressive plan.\u201d\nAt times, Lehmann could be a man of contradictions -- asking Australia fans to send England fast bowler Stuart Broad back from the Ashes series \u201ccrying\u201d before complaining about \u201cdisgraceful\u201d crowd behaviour in the ongoing series in South Africa.\nDuring his eventful tenure, he rebuilt the team more than once and the circumstances around his exit mean he leaves another such rebuilding job behind.",

        "raw_content": "The School of Hard Knocks: The skill of knowing when to walk away from your business\nEvery entrepreneur will at some point face a dilemma whether to stick with their business or change focus. Here\u2019s tips to guide that decision.\nIt\u2019s a problem that will face most entrepreneurs at some point (unless you\u2019re very lucky): if that new idea is not working \u2013 clients aren\u2019t biting, the money is not coming in \u2013 when is the right time to cut your losses and walk away from the idea, or even the company you\u2019ve set up? Or, perhaps less drastically, is there a right time to change the focus of your business?\nIt\u2019s no easy decision and many hang on too long to something that\u2019s not working, allowing emotion to overtake what in all probability should be a business decision based on the cold hard currency of fact.\nSo should I stay or should I go? When to persevere or when to walk away? When to change the focus of your business? When should I sell up? Here are my top five deal breakers, which can help you decide:\nThe financial risk becomes too great\nEvery new venture demands some level of financial risk. You might be investing money you\u2019re borrowing, or from hard earned savings, but either way there must be a point where walking away is the right thing to do.\nOnly you will know when that point is reached but if you\u2019re remortgaging the house, raiding the pension pot, and household bills aren\u2019t being met, then you must be realistic about continuing with the venture. A good business plan at the outset will help you plan what you can afford to invest \u2013 if you\u2019re exceeding that amount then it may be time to reassess.\nYou\u2019re no longer enjoying it\nRemember why you decided to work for yourself? If the pursuit of your business idea is threatening that lifestyle or simply becoming a chore, it\u2019s time to reassess what you\u2019re doing. Again, this may needn\u2019t mean quitting. Maybe a change of focus will reinvigorate your love for the business?\nNo one buys into your idea (including your friends and family)\nYou have this great idea. You\u2019re ploughing money into getting it off the ground. But how many people are buying into your idea? New clients? People wanting to work with you? New investors? Answer no to all of those and your business is may well be heading down a cul-de-sac. If the feedback from family and friends is equally negative, you know you\u2019re swimming against the tide.\nThe competition is doing it better\nIt\u2019s unlikely that you\u2019re doing something completely new and if your competition is, hand on heart, doing it better than you can, again, it\u2019s time to shift to something where you can deliver more value.\nThis doesn\u2019t mean giving up entirely, but often involves assessing what they\u2019re doing, what you\u2019re doing and exploiting that point of difference. This may require an about turn on your part but could be the best business decision you make. So what can you tweak on your existing business model to make the difference?\nYou have a better idea\nJust because you\u2019re working on one idea doesn\u2019t mean that you shouldn\u2019t change horses halfway through a race. If you see a better opportunity and your current venture seems to fit many of the criteria I\u2019ve already mentioned, it could be time to dismount and invest your energies in the \u2018better idea\u2019.\nTrouble doubled\nIt is perhaps the hardest decision any entrepreneur will have to make. But it\u2019s a decision that has to be made. As the Clash might have agreed \u2013 if you move on there will be trouble, but if you keep doing what you\u2019re doing, trouble may well be doubled.\nFailure is a fact of business life. There are plenty of examples of successful entrepreneurs who\u2019ve experienced failure before success and the best of these know when the time comes to decisively change the direction of their business, or move on to another idea or venture.\nOf course, there is always the possibility that someone might come in to buy your business and make you an offer you can\u2019t refuse\u2026 that\u2019s a nice dilemma every entrepreneur would love to have.\nLearn more about the risks start-ups face from The School of Hard Knocks series.

        "raw_content": "It\u2019s campaign season, so that means we\u2019re seeing an escalation in the number of politicians who insist that the federal government must involve itself in \u201cnegotiating\u201d prices for the Medicare Part D prescription drug program. (I put negotiating in quotations because it\u2019s a misnomer to suggest that government negotiates in the understood sense of the world. It is closer to reality to say that the feds set prices.)\nThe problem with this assertion regarding Medicare Part D is that the facts keep getting in the way.\nLast week, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services announced that average monthly premiums for Part D plans are expected to drop from $33.59 in 2018 to $32.50 in 2019. This is the second consecutive year in which average premiums will have declined and follows several previous years in which premium levels remained relatively flat. In other words, the inference that urgent action is needed to fundamentally change the Medicare Part D structure isn\u2019t supported by any evidence that consumers are being harmed by the status quo.\nIn fact, the approach employed when Congress created the Medicare prescription drug program just over a decade ago remains just as viable today. The best way to maintain affordability is to empower consumers to select from several competing drug plans on the basis of value. Part D enrollees will naturally gravitate to the plans that cover the drugs their physicians prescribe and do so at affordable cost.\nThat\u2019s not to say there aren\u2019t actions that need to be taken regarding Part D. For example, Congress needs to act expeditiously to address the \u201cout of pocket cliff,\u201d the forthcoming change in the out-of-pocket spending threshold that must be met in order to qualify for catastrophic coverage. If not address, this \u201ccliff\u201d will cost beneficiaries several hundred dollars that many can\u2019t afford.\nOn the whole, though, when politicians tell you this political season that we need a heavier government hand in Medicare Part D pricing, please be aware that the numbers don\u2019t back up that claim.",

        "raw_content": "\u201cI waited for the Lord, He inclined unto me, and He heard my complaint.\u201d An incredible aria duet, based on this text composed by Felix Mendelssohn from the Elijah, contains nuances and undulating phrases that have stayed in my heart for decades. It evokes curiosity surrounding the meaning of \u201cwait.\u201d One definition is to behave as a servant constantly present at the master\u2019s side, attentive to any mood, facial change, hand signal or vocal command request for action to assist them. Therefore, if I wait on the Lord, I need to be so close I can see the smallest indicator from God how I may act to serve Him in a dynamic live duet. The focus is to actively participate in a directive from heaven for my next move.\nThe Psalmist continues to say the Lord \u201cinclined\u201d to him. I, too, will see that He has heard my complaint. Referring to the aria, the phrase rejoicing that my complaint is heard is stressed and repeatedly underscores the joy and encouragement received. The biblical Verse 2 declares that God has brought David out of the pit, put his feet on a rock and established his steps. This certainly is a strong word picture giving God the credit for rescue from death, turmoil, depression or daily drudgery. In an exciting resolution to this victory, a song is put in the Psalmist heart.\nI like to personalize this and quote, \u201cHe has put a new song in my mouth--Praise to our God: Many will see it and fear, and will trust in the LORD.\u201d Every day I can ask for this song. May you have your own song today! Incidentally, you may find many renditions of the duet aria, \u201cI waited for the Lord\u201c by Felix Mendelssohn if you text these words in your search engine online.\nThe First Census of Israel\n1 Now the Lord spoke to Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai, in the tabernacle of meeting, on the first day of the second month, in the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying: 2 \u201cTake a census of all the congregation of the children of Israel, by their families, by their fathers\u2019 houses, according to the number of names, every male individually, 3 from twenty years old and above\u2014all who are able to go to war in Israel. You and Aaron shall number them by their armies. 4 And with you there shall be a man from every tribe, each one the head of his father\u2019s house.\n5 \u201cThese are the names of the men who shall stand with you: from Reuben, Elizur the son of Shedeur; 6 from Simeon, Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai; 7 from Judah, Nahshon the son of Amminadab; 8 from Issachar, Nethanel the son of Zuar; 9 from Zebulun, Eliab the son of Helon; 10 from the sons of Joseph: from Ephraim, Elishama the son of Ammihud; from Manasseh, Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur; 11 from Benjamin, Abidan the son of Gideoni; 12 from Dan, Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai; 13 from Asher, Pagiel the son of Ocran; 14 from Gad, Eliasaph the son of Deuel; 15 from Naphtali, Ahira the son of Enan.\u201d 16 These were chosen from the congregation, leaders of their fathers\u2019 tribes, heads of the divisions in Israel.\n17 Then Moses and Aaron took these men who had been mentioned by name, 18 and they assembled all the congregation together on the first day of the second month; and they recited their ancestry by families, by their fathers\u2019 houses, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, each one individually. 19 As the Lord commanded Moses, so he numbered them in the Wilderness of Sinai.\n20 Now the children of Reuben, Israel\u2019s oldest son, their genealogies by their families, by their fathers\u2019 house, according to the number of names, every male individually, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war: 21 those who were numbered of the tribe of Reuben were forty-six thousand five hundred.\n22 From the children of Simeon, their genealogies by their families, by their fathers\u2019 house, of those who were numbered, according to the number of names, every male individually, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war: 23 those who were numbered of the tribe of Simeon were fifty-nine thousand three hundred.\n24 From the children of Gad, their genealogies by their families, by their fathers\u2019 house, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war: 25 those who were numbered of the tribe of Gad were forty-five thousand six hundred and fifty.\n26 From the children of Judah, their genealogies by their families, by their fathers\u2019 house, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war: 27 those who were numbered of the tribe of Judah were seventy-four thousand six hundred.\n28 From the children of Issachar, their genealogies by their families, by their fathers\u2019 house, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war: 29 those who were numbered of the tribe of Issachar were fifty-four thousand four hundred.\n30 From the children of Zebulun, their genealogies by their families, by their fathers\u2019 house, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war: 31 those who were numbered of the tribe of Zebulun were fifty-seven thousand four hundred.\n32 From the sons of Joseph, the children of Ephraim, their genealogies by their families, by their fathers\u2019 house, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war: 33 those who were numbered of the tribe of Ephraim were forty thousand five hundred.\n34 From the children of Manasseh, their genealogies by their families, by their fathers\u2019 house, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war: 35 those who were numbered of the tribe of Manasseh were thirty-two thousand two hundred.\n36 From the children of Benjamin, their genealogies by their families, by their fathers\u2019 house, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war: 37 those who were numbered of the tribe of Benjamin were thirty-five thousand four hundred.\n38 From the children of Dan, their genealogies by their families, by their fathers\u2019 house, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war: 39 those who were numbered of the tribe of Dan were sixty-two thousand seven hundred.\n40 From the children of Asher, their genealogies by their families, by their fathers\u2019 house, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war: 41 those who were numbered of the tribe of Asher were forty-one thousand five hundred.\n42 From the children of Naphtali, their genealogies by their families, by their fathers\u2019 house, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war: 43 those who were numbered of the tribe of Naphtali were fifty-three thousand four hundred.\n44 These are the ones who were numbered, whom Moses and Aaron numbered, with the leaders of Israel, twelve men, each one representing his father\u2019s house. 45 So all who were numbered of the children of Israel, by their fathers\u2019 houses, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war in Israel\u2014 46 all who were numbered were six hundred and three thousand five hundred and fifty.\n47 But the Levites were not numbered among them by their fathers\u2019 tribe; 48 for the Lord had spoken to Moses, saying: 49 \u201cOnly the tribe of Levi you shall not number, nor take a census of them among the children of Israel; 50 but you shall appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of the Testimony, over all its furnishings, and over all things that belong to it; they shall carry the tabernacle and all its furnishings; they shall attend to it and camp around the tabernacle. 51 And when the tabernacle is to go forward, the Levites shall take it down; and when the tabernacle is to be set up, the Levites shall set it up. The outsider who comes near shall be put to death. 52 The children of Israel shall pitch their tents, everyone by his own camp, everyone by his own standard, according to their armies; 53 but the Levites shall camp around the tabernacle of the Testimony, that there may be no wrath on the congregation of the children of Israel; and the Levites shall keep charge of the tabernacle of the Testimony.\u201d\n54 Thus the children of Israel did; according to all that the Lord commanded Moses, so they did.\nThe Tribes and Leaders by Armies\n1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying: 2 \u201cEveryone of the children of Israel shall camp by his own standard, beside the emblems of his father\u2019s house; they shall camp some distance from the tabernacle of meeting. 3 On the east side, toward the rising of the sun, those of the standard of the forces with Judah shall camp according to their armies; and Nahshon the son of Amminadab shall be the leader of the children of Judah.\u201d 4 And his army was numbered at seventy-four thousand six hundred.\n5 \u201cThose who camp next to him shall be the tribe of Issachar, and Nethanel the son of Zuar shall be the leader of the children of Issachar.\u201d 6 And his army was numbered at fifty-four thousand four hundred.\n7 \u201cThen comes the tribe of Zebulun, and Eliab the son of Helon shall bethe leader of the children of Zebulun.\u201d 8 And his army was numbered at fifty-seven thousand four hundred. 9 \u201cAll who were numbered according to their armies of the forces with Judah, one hundred and eighty-six thousand four hundred\u2014these shall break camp first.\n10 \u201cOn the south side shall be the standard of the forces with Reuben according to their armies, and the leader of the children of Reuben shall be Elizur the son of Shedeur.\u201d 11 And his army was numbered at forty-six thousand five hundred.\n12 \u201cThose who camp next to him shall be the tribe of Simeon, and the leader of the children of Simeon shall be Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.\u201d 13 And his army was numbered at fifty-nine thousand three hundred.\n14 \u201cThen comes the tribe of Gad, and the leader of the children of Gad shall be Eliasaph the son of Reuel.\u201d 15 And his army was numbered at forty-five thousand six hundred and fifty. 16 \u201cAll who were numbered according to their armies of the forces with Reuben, one hundred and fifty-one thousand four hundred and fifty\u2014they shall be the second to break camp.\n17 \u201cAnd the tabernacle of meeting shall move out with the camp of the Levites in the middle of the camps; as they camp, so they shall move out, everyone in his place, by their standards.\n18 \u201cOn the west side shall be the standard of the forces with Ephraim according to their armies, and the leader of the children of Ephraim shall be Elishama the son of Ammihud.\u201d 19 And his army was numbered at forty thousand five hundred.\n20 \u201cNext to him comes the tribe of Manasseh, and the leader of the children of Manasseh shall be Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.\u201d 21 And his army was numbered at thirty-two thousand two hundred.\n22 \u201cThen comes the tribe of Benjamin, and the leader of the children of Benjamin shall be Abidan the son of Gideoni.\u201d 23 And his army was numbered at thirty-five thousand four hundred. 24 \u201cAll who were numbered according to their armies of the forces with Ephraim, one hundred and eight thousand one hundred\u2014they shall be the third to break camp.\n25 \u201cThe standard of the forces with Dan shall be on the north side according to their armies, and the leader of the children of Dan shall be Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.\u201d 26 And his army was numbered at sixty-two thousand seven hundred.\n27 \u201cThose who camp next to him shall be the tribe of Asher, and the leader of the children of Asher shall be Pagiel the son of Ocran.\u201d 28 And his army was numbered at forty-one thousand five hundred.\n29 \u201cThen comes the tribe of Naphtali, and the leader of the children of Naphtali shall be Ahira the son of Enan.\u201d 30 And his army was numbered at fifty-three thousand four hundred. 31 \u201cAll who were numbered of the forces with Dan, one hundred and fifty-seven thousand six hundred\u2014they shall break camp last, with their standards.\u201d\n32 These are the ones who were numbered of the children of Israel by their fathers\u2019 houses. All who were numbered according to their armies of the forces were six hundred and three thousand five hundred and fifty. 33 But the Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel, just as the Lord commanded Moses.\n34 Thus the children of Israel did according to all that the Lord commanded Moses; so they camped by their standards and so they broke camp, each one by his family, according to their fathers\u2019 houses.\nThe Sons of Aaron\n1 Now these are the records of Aaron and Moses when the Lord spoke with Moses on Mount Sinai. 2 And these are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab, the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. 3 These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the anointed priests, whom he consecrated to minister as priests. 4 Nadab and Abihu had died before the Lord when they offered profane fire before the Lord in the Wilderness of Sinai; and they had no children. So Eleazar and Ithamar ministered as priests in the presence of Aaron their father.\nThe Levites Serve in the Tabernacle\n5 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 6 \u201cBring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may serve him. 7 And they shall attend to his needs and the needs of the whole congregation before the tabernacle of meeting, to do the work of the tabernacle. 8 Also they shall attend to all the furnishings of the tabernacle of meeting, and to the needs of the children of Israel, to do the work of the tabernacle. 9 And you shall give the Levites to Aaron and his sons; they are given entirely to him from among the children of Israel. 10 So you shall appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall attend to their priesthood; but the outsider who comes near shall be put to death.\u201d\n11 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 12 \u201cNow behold, I Myself have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of every firstborn who opens the womb among the children of Israel. Therefore the Levites shall be Mine, 13 because all the firstborn are Mine. On the day that I struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I sanctified to Myself all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast. They shall be Mine: I am the Lord.\u201d\nCensus of the Levites Commanded\n14 Then the Lord spoke to Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai, saying: 15 \u201cNumber the children of Levi by their fathers\u2019 houses, by their families; you shall number every male from a month old and above.\u201d\n16 So Moses numbered them according to the word of the Lord, as he was commanded. 17 These were the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. 18 And these are the names of the sons of Gershon by their families: Libni and Shimei. 19 And the sons of Kohath by their families: Amram, Izehar, Hebron, and Uzziel. 20 And the sons of Merari by their families: Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites by their fathers\u2019 houses.\n21 From Gershon came the family of the Libnites and the family of the Shimites; these were the families of the Gershonites. 22 Those who were numbered, according to the number of all the males from a month old and above\u2014of those who were numbered there were seven thousand five hundred. 23 The families of the Gershonites were to camp behind the tabernacle westward. 24 And the leader of the father\u2019s house of the Gershonites was Eliasaph the son of Lael. 25 The duties of the children of Gershon in the tabernacle of meeting included the tabernacle, the tent with its covering, the screen for the door of the tabernacle of meeting, 26 the screen for the door of the court, the hangings of the court which are around the tabernacle and the altar, and their cords, according to all the work relating to them.\n27 From Kohath came the family of the Amramites, the family of the Izharites, the family of the Hebronites, and the family of the Uzzielites; these were the families of the Kohathites. 28 According to the number of all the males, from a month old and above, there were eight thousand six hundred keeping charge of the sanctuary. 29 The families of the children of Kohath were to camp on the south side of the tabernacle. 30 And the leader of the fathers\u2019 house of the families of the Kohathites was Elizaphan the son of Uzziel. 31 Their duty included the ark, the table, the lampstand, the altars, the utensils of the sanctuary with which they ministered, the screen, and all the work relating to them.\n32 And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest was to be chief over the leaders of the Levites, with oversight of those who kept charge of the sanctuary.\n33 From Merari came the family of the Mahlites and the family of the Mushites; these were the families of Merari. 34 And those who were numbered, according to the number of all the males from a month old and above, were six thousand two hundred. 35 The leader of the fathers\u2019 house of the families of Merari was Zuriel the son of Abihail. These were to camp on the north side of the tabernacle. 36 And the appointed duty of the children of Merari included the boards of the tabernacle, its bars, its pillars, its sockets, its utensils, all the work relating to them, 37 and the pillars of the court all around, with their sockets, their pegs, and their cords.\n38 Moreover those who were to camp before the tabernacle on the east, before the tabernacle of meeting, were Moses, Aaron, and his sons, keeping charge of the sanctuary, to meet the needs of the children of Israel; but the outsider who came near was to be put to death. 39 All who were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of the Lord, by their families, all the males from a month old and above, were twenty-two thousand.\nLevites Dedicated Instead of the Firstborn\n40 Then the Lord said to Moses: \u201cNumber all the firstborn males of the children of Israel from a month old and above, and take the number of their names. 41 And you shall take the Levites for Me\u2014I am the Lord\u2014instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the livestock of the children of Israel.\u201d 42 So Moses numbered all the firstborn among the children of Israel, as the Lord commanded him. 43 And all the firstborn males, according to the number of names from a month old and above, of those who were numbered of them, were twenty-two thousand two hundred and seventy-three.\n44 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 45 \u201cTake the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites instead of their livestock. The Levites shall be Mine: I am the Lord. 46 And for the redemption of the two hundred and seventy-three of the firstborn of the children of Israel, who are more than the number of the Levites, 47 you shall take five shekels for each one individually; you shall take them in the currency of the shekel of the sanctuary, the shekel of twenty gerahs. 48 And you shall give the money, with which the excess number of them is redeemed, to Aaron and his sons.\u201d\n49 So Moses took the redemption money from those who were over and above those who were redeemed by the Levites. 50 From the firstborn of the children of Israel he took the money, one thousand three hundred and sixty-five shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary. 51 And Moses gave their redemption money to Aaron and his sons, according to the word of the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.\nDuties of the Sons of Kohath\n1 Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying: 2 \u201cTake a census of the sons of Kohath from among the children of Levi, by their families, by their fathers\u2019 house, 3 from thirty years old and above, even to fifty years old, all who enter the service to do the work in the tabernacle of meeting.\n4 \u201cThis is the service of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of meeting, relating to the most holy things: 5 When the camp prepares to journey, Aaron and his sons shall come, and they shall take down the covering veil and cover the ark of the Testimony with it. 6 Then they shall put on it a covering of badger skins, and spread over that a cloth entirely of blue; and they shall insert its poles.\n7 \u201cOn the table of showbread they shall spread a blue cloth, and put on it the dishes, the pans, the bowls, and the pitchers for pouring; and the showbread shall be on it. 8 They shall spread over them a scarlet cloth, and cover the same with a covering of badger skins; and they shall insert its poles. 9 And they shall take a blue cloth and cover the lampstand of the light, with its lamps, its wick-trimmers, its trays, and all its oil vessels, with which they service it. 10 Then they shall put it with all its utensils in a covering of badger skins, and put it on a carrying beam.\n11 \u201cOver the golden altar they shall spread a blue cloth, and cover it with a covering of badger skins; and they shall insert its poles. 12 Then they shall take all the utensils of service with which they minister in the sanctuary, put them in a blue cloth, cover them with a covering of badger skins, and put them on a carrying beam. 13 Also they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth over it. 14 They shall put on it all its implements with which they minister there\u2014the firepans, the forks, the shovels, the basins, and all the utensils of the altar\u2014and they shall spread on it a covering of badger skins, and insert its poles. 15 And when Aaron and his sons have finished covering the sanctuary and all the furnishings of the sanctuary, when the camp is set to go, then the sons of Kohath shall come to carry them; but they shall not touch any holy thing, lest they die.\n\u201cThese are the things in the tabernacle of meeting which the sons of Kohath are to carry.\n16 \u201cThe appointed duty of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest is the oil for the light, the sweet incense, the daily grain offering, the anointing oil, the oversight of all the tabernacle, of all that is in it, with the sanctuary and its furnishings.\u201d\n17 Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying: 18 \u201cDo not cut off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites; 19 but do this in regard to them, that they may live and not die when they approach the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in and appoint each of them to his service and his task. 20 But they shall not go in to watch while the holy things are being covered, lest they die.\u201d\nDuties of the Sons of Gershon\n21 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 22 \u201cAlso take a census of the sons of Gershon, by their fathers\u2019 house, by their families. 23 From thirty years old and above, even to fifty years old, you shall number them, all who enter to perform the service, to do the work in the tabernacle of meeting. 24 This is the service of the families of the Gershonites, in serving and carrying: 25 They shall carry the curtains of the tabernacle and the tabernacle of meeting with its covering, the covering of badger skins that is on it, the screen for the door of the tabernacle of meeting, 26 the screen for the door of the gate of the court, the hangings of the court which are around the tabernacle and altar, and their cords, all the furnishings for their service and all that is made for these things: so shall they serve.\n27 \u201cAaron and his sons shall assign all the service of the sons of the Gershonites, all their tasks and all their service. And you shall appoint to them all their tasks as their duty. 28 This is the service of the families of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of meeting. And their duties shall be under the authority of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.\nDuties of the Sons of Merari\n29 \u201cAs for the sons of Merari, you shall number them by their families and by their fathers\u2019 house. 30 From thirty years old and above, even to fifty years old, you shall number them, everyone who enters the service to do the work of the tabernacle of meeting. 31 And this is what they must carry as all their service for the tabernacle of meeting: the boards of the tabernacle, its bars, its pillars, its sockets, 32 and the pillars around the court with their sockets, pegs, and cords, with all their furnishings and all their service; and you shall assign to each man by name the items he must carry. 33 This is the service of the families of the sons of Merari, as all their service for the tabernacle of meeting, under the authority of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.\u201d\nCensus of the Levites\n34 And Moses, Aaron, and the leaders of the congregation numbered the sons of the Kohathites by their families and by their fathers\u2019 house, 35 from thirty years old and above, even to fifty years old, everyone who entered the service for work in the tabernacle of meeting; 36 and those who were numbered by their families were two thousand seven hundred and fifty. 37 These were the ones who were numbered of the families of the Kohathites, all who might serve in the tabernacle of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of the Lord by the hand of Moses.\n38 And those who were numbered of the sons of Gershon, by their families and by their fathers\u2019 house, 39 from thirty years old and above, even to fifty years old, everyone who entered the service for work in the tabernacle of meeting\u2014 40 those who were numbered by their families, by their fathers\u2019 house, were two thousand six hundred and thirty. 41 These are the ones who were numbered of the families of the sons of Gershon, of all who might serve in the tabernacle of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of the Lord.\n42 Those of the families of the sons of Merari who were numbered, by their families, by their fathers\u2019 house, 43 from thirty years old and above, even to fifty years old, everyone who entered the service for work in the tabernacle of meeting\u2014 44 those who were numbered by their families were three thousand two hundred. 45 These are the ones who were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the word of the Lord by the hand of Moses.\n46 All who were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses, Aaron, and the leaders of Israel numbered, by their families and by their fathers\u2019 houses, 47 from thirty years old and above, even to fifty years old, everyone who came to do the work of service and the work of bearing burdens in the tabernacle of meeting\u2014 48 those who were numbered were eight thousand five hundred and eighty.\n49 According to the commandment of the Lord they were numbered by the hand of Moses, each according to his service and according to his task; thus were they numbered by him, as the Lord commanded Moses.\nFaith Persevering in Trial\n3 He has put a new song in my mouth\u2014\n6 Sacrifice and offering You did not desire;\n8 I delight to do Your will, O my God,\n9 I have proclaimed the good news of righteousness\n11 Do not withhold Your tender mercies from me, O Lord;\n12 For innumerable evils have surrounded me;\n13 Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me;\n15 Let them be confounded because of their shame,\n16 Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You;\n17 But I am poor and needy;",

        "title": "Does Circumcision Reduce Penis Sensitivity? The Answer Is Not Clear Cut | HuffPost",
        "raw_content": "Brian D. Earp, Contributor\nScientist, ethicist, writer\nDoes Circumcision Reduce Penis Sensitivity? The Answer Is Not Clear Cut\nAdult man in black&red underwear holding/hiding/protecting his penis, isolated on white background.\nAnother day, another round of uncritical media coverage of an empirical study about circumcision and sexual function. That's including from the New York Times, whose Nicholas Bakalar has more or less recycled the content of a university press release without incorporating any skeptical analysis from other scientists. That's par for the course for Bakalar.1\nThe new study is by Jennifer Bossio and her colleagues from Queen's University in Ontario, Canada: it looked at penile sensitivity at various locations on the penis, comparing a sample of men who had been circumcised when they were infants (meaning they had their foreskins surgically removed), with a sample of men who remained genitally intact (meaning they kept their foreskins into adulthood).2\nWhat did the researchers discover? According to a typical headline from the past few days:\n\"Circumcision does not reduce penis sensitivity.\"\nBut that's not what the study showed. Before we get into the details of the science, and looking just at this claim from the \"headline\" conclusion, it might be helpful to review some basic anatomy.\nGenital Anatomy 101\nLesson #1. The foreskin is part of the penis. It is made up of sensitive tissue (more on this below); so if you remove it, the penis loses sensitivity by definition. Specifically, it loses all of the sensitivity experienced in the foreskin itself, along with all subjective sensations that are unique to having a foreskin.\nChief among these sensations is the feeling of rolling the foreskin back and forth over the head of the penis--the \"glans\"--during sex, foreplay, or masturbation (see this NSFW video to get the idea): that specific feeling does not exist without a foreskin.\nLesson #2. Imagine a study that claimed to show that removing a girl's labia minora--her vaginal \"lips\"--did not reduce the sensitivity of the vulva.\n\"That doesn't make any sense,\" you might say. \"The labia are part of the vulva!\" Quite right. And just like the foreskin, they are richly supplied with nerve endings, blood vessels, and sebaceous glands that provide natural lubrication during sexual activity.\nDepending on one's sexual preferences, the labia can be tugged, stretched, sucked on, and otherwise \"played with\" as a part of one's sexual experience; the same thing is true of the foreskin.\nSo if a girl has her labia removed (which is a federal crime in most Western countries),3 or if a boy has his foreskin removed, neither one will be able to experience any of the subjective sensations that go along with those specific activities when they grow up and become sexually active.\nThey also won't be able to \"compare\" their sexual experiences with a version of themselves from an alternate universe in which their genitals had been left intact when they were children: this point will become important later on.\nLesson #3. The United States is the only developed country that practices routine circumcision on a majority of newborn boys for non-religious reasons. Circumcision in this context is often described as \"just a little snip,\" and the foreskin as \"a tiny flap of skin.\" I won't go into the details of what a circumcision surgery actually involves (here is a video for those who are not too squeamish), but \"little snip\" is not an accurate description.\nAs for the foreskin itself, it is not a \"flap of skin,\" but rather a double-layered, retractable, invertible sheath of tissue that functions seamlessly with the rest of the penis (here's another video); and it's only \"tiny\" when it's connected to a baby. The adult foreskin has on average 30 to 50 square centimeters of tissue surface area (roughly the size of a credit card), with numerous specialized nerve endings that respond to tactile stimulation.\nAnother (rough) analogy\nSo let me try another analogy. Saying that removing the foreskin \"doesn't reduce penis sensitivity\" is a bit like saying that removing the pinky finger doesn't reduce hand sensitivity. What you really mean is that removing the pinky finger (which is part of the hand) doesn't reduce sensitivity in the remaining fingers--although, as we'll see, it's not even clear that this part of the analogy holds up in the actual study.\nIn other words, it's an odd way to frame the hypothesis. To continue the analogy, my guess is that most people--if faced with the claim that removing the pinky finger doesn't reduce sensitivity of the hand--would say, \"But what about the pinky finger itself?!\"\nAnd they would be right to say it. The only reason you wouldn't think to ask a similar question about the foreskin--vis-\u00e0-vis the rest of the penis, of which it is a part--is if you lived in a country where it had become the habit to cut this tissue off at birth, making it seem like something disposable. But that is not how the foreskin is treated in most developed countries, and that's not how it seems to most men who possess one.\nReturning to Bossio et al. study\nNow that we have some idea of what we are talking about, let's take a look at the actual study. The researchers recruited 62 men, of whom 30 were circumcised and 32 were intact. The age range of participants was 18 to 37 years, which means that older men--including those ages 40 and up--were excluded. This is a little bit strange from a sampling perspective, since problems with penile sensitivity (and general function) start to pick up around that age: if you're trying to detect a difference due to circumcision, it is likelier to be more pronounced in older, rather than younger, men.\nParticipants were also pre-selected to be free of sexual dysfunction. So if foreskin removal causes sexual dysfunction (on a statistical basis) then this study cannot find it, by design.\nRight out of the gate, then, we have a couple of limitations: (1) we don't know if the results of the study--whatever they turn out to be--apply beyond the age of 37, and (2) we don't know if they generalize beyond men without any sexual problems (which is the very group of men you would think we'd be interested in, given the hypothesis).\nAnother limitation is the size of the sample: it's small. Too small. As a statistician would say, it's \"underpowered.\" Simply put, the study didn't have enough power to detect a difference between the circumcised vs. intact men (even if one existed) across all of the different tests that the researchers used.\nWhat that means is that the absence of a measurable effect for sensitivity doesn't tell us very much. It would be like attempting to tell the difference between two photographs printed at a horrible resolution (say, 10 pixels), when the differences--if they existed--would be completely obvious at a higher resolution (say, 1000 pixels). You don't run a \"10 pixel\" study and conclude \"the photographs are identical.\"\nAs it happens, the researchers actually used a computer program to calculate exactly how many participants they would need to detect an effect of circumcision status on penile sensitivity: for their \"pain threshold\" test (I'll say more about this later), they found that they would need 122 participants to detect an effect; and for their \"warmth detection threshold\" test, they found that they would need 238 participants to detect an effect.\nSo they had about half as many participants as they needed for the first test, and about a quarter as many participants as they needed for the second test.\nHere's the bottom line. If you don't recruit enough participants to detect the effect you're looking for (in this case, a difference between circumcised men and intact men in terms of their penile sensitivity), it is misleading to say \"there isn't an effect.\"\nBut actually, there's more to the story. Somewhat confusingly, immediately after explaining that 238 participants would be needed \"to obtain a significant effect\" on the warmth detection test--which, again, the researchers didn't have (they had 62 participants)--the authors went ahead and reported a statistically significant effect of p = .02.4\nTo understand the meaning of this \"effect\" (I'll say what it was in just a moment), you have to remember that there are two different comparisons the researchers were interested in. The first comparison is between circumcised and intact men--in terms of their respective sensitivity--at each location on the penis being tested. For this comparison, you needed 238 participants.\nThe second comparison is between different locations on the penis itself--in terms of their respective sensitivity--collapsing across the circumcision status of the men. For this comparison, you can get away with fewer participants.\nNow, there were four different locations on the penis that the researchers tested: two on the shaft (same location for both circumcised and intact men), one on the head of the penis (same location for both circumcised and intact men, but with the foreskin rolled back in the intact group), and one on the foreskin (intact men only).\nJust to clarify: the researchers tested one spot on the outside of the foreskin, versus three spots on the rest of the penis. Previous research suggests, however, that different parts of the foreskin have different distributions of nerve endings, and that it is the inside of the foreskin (the part that becomes exposed when the foreskin is rolled back, like it does during sex) that is especially sensitive.\nThe researchers didn't test this part, which means that their study design was stacked against the sensitivity of foreskin from the get-go.\nSo what did the researchers find? Given what I've just said, and given the way this study has been written up in the media so far, you will be surprised to learn that the \"statistically significant finding\"--comparing all of the penile locations just mentioned--was actually still in favor of the foreskin: the part of the penis removed by circumcision.\nSpecifically, the foreskin was found to be (significantly) more sensitive to warmth than the head of the penis, regardless of circumcision status, and (numerically) more sensitive than all other testing sites including the forearm, which was used as a \"control.\" Take a look at Figure C from the study (reproduced below), and remember that a lower bar means more sensitive. What do you notice?\nA similar result was found on a \"tactile threshold\" test. For this test, the researchers applied a series of thin filaments to different parts of the penis (the same four locations described above), and wrote down how much pressure was needed before the participants could actually feel the stimulus (see here for a video demonstration).\nAgain, you will be surprised to learn--I am quoting directly from the paper now--that \"Tactile thresholds at the foreskin (intact men) were significantly lower (more sensitive) than all [other] genital testing sites\" including the sites in circumcised men (emphasis added).5\nLet me just repeat this: for the one test the researchers used that measured actual tactile sensitivity (which is what most people think of when they hear the word \"sensitive\" in this context), they found that the foreskin was more sensitive than any other part of the penis, including all parts of the penis that remain in circumcised men.\nThis is consistent with a previous finding by other researchers from 2007, who concluded that \"Circumcision ablates [removes] the most sensitive parts of the penis.\"\nTake a look at Figure A, below (again, the lower the bar, the more sensitive):\nMystery conclusion\nSo how do we get from a finding, replicating previous research, that the foreskin is the most sensitive part of the penis to tactile stimulation, as well as a new finding showing that it is more sensitive to warmth than the glans ... to the conclusion that circumcision (which removes the foreskin) \"does not reduce penis sensitivity\"?\nI reached out to Jennifer Bossio to ask for clarification. As far as I can tell, her conclusion is based on the fact that the foreskin was not shown to be \"more sensitive\" than other penile sites on two additional tests her group used: (1) a \"heat pain\" test (this is the same as the \"warmth detection\" test, only turned up until it got hot enough to hurt), and (2) the underpowered \"pain threshold\" test that I already mentioned (which is the same as the \"tactile threshold\" test using the filaments, just pressed down harder until the participant felt pain).\nBut I still don't see how the conclusion follows. It sounds like the foreskin is acutely sensitive to the lightest and most gentle of touches (as well as to mild sensations of warmth), while being somewhat less sensitive to outright pain. Is that supposed to count against the foreskin?\n\"Circumcision does NOT reduce sensitivity of the penis\" (Daily Mail); \"Study finds no difference in sensitivity between circumcised versus non-circumcised men\" (Northern California News); \"Foreskin doesn't make a man more 'sensitive,' study finds\" (Vox); \"We finally know whether or not being circumcised affects sexual pleasure\" (Elite Daily).\nWho wrote these headlines? They are all false. What the study actually showed was that the average foreskin of a small, non-representative sample of men from Canada, was more sensitive to light touch and mild warmth, and somewhat less sensitive to outright pain, than other parts of the penis. How those differences go on to \"affect sexual pleasure\" (to jump to the last headline) is a complicated question, and it probably depends on the situation of each individual. Relevant factors would include how he likes to be touched, what kinds of sexual activities he enjoys, and whether those activities are even possible without a foreskin.\nNotice the word \"average\" in the previous paragraph. The individual sensitivity scores for each man's foreskin (in response to the different types of stimuli) were made invisible due to group averaging. And yet it is likely that some men's foreskins are more sensitive than others, and vice versa--everybody's different. What that means is that circumcision will affect different people differently: a man with a particularly sensitive foreskin has more to lose by cutting it off, and that's something you can't know in advance when you're looking at an infant.\nJennifer Bossio and her colleagues are to be commended for trying to \"objectively\" study a complicated issue (although the way they reported their results was woefully misleading). But at the end of the day, sexual experience is largely subjective: different people prefer different things when it comes to sex, and a lot of sexual enjoyment comes down to psychological factors, not penile anatomy.\nThat is why there is a growing movement to leave the \"circumcision decision\" to the individual who will be affected by it, so that he can decide--when he's old enough to understand what's at stake--if he'd rather experience sex and masturbation with an intact penis (however sensitive his particular foreskin turns out to be), or with a modified one (if he wants to go for surgery).\nWith respect to the specific question of \"sensitivity,\" the latest findings are a lot less definitive than media reports are making them out to be (and they don't even all point in the same direction as those reports are suggesting). As Bossio and her colleagues state at the end of their paper, \"replication of this study is warranted with a larger sample size\" and \"associated conclusions should be interpreted as preliminary.\"\nIn the meantime, a precautionary approach suggests that we should leave boys' penises alone until they can assess the sensitivity of their own foreskins as compared to other parts of the penis--as well as their role in sexual experience more generally--in light of their own considered sexual preferences and values.[6]\nBrian D. Earp (@briandavidearp) is a scientist and ethicist with degrees from Yale, Oxford, and Cambridge Universities, including an M.Phil. degree in the history and philosophy of science and medicine, focusing on male and female genital cutting practices. He is currently a Resident Visiting Scholar at The Hastings Center, an independent bioethics research institute in Garrison, New York. He has published widely in the leading journals in his fields.\n1. See Bakalar's equally rote coverage of another paper on circumcision from 2014 written by a controversial Australian researcher; critical perspectives would not have been hard to come by. For more on sloppy science reporting at the New York Times, see \"The New York Times Should Seriously Consider Not Writing About Science Anymore.\" Or you can read my take here.\n2. It is probably worth noting that this second group of men is considerably more representative on a global scale: North America has an unusual (and somewhat unsettling) history in adopting male circumcision as a cultural norm--although it appears to be fading away as the years go by--as the science writer Matthew Tontonoz has recently explained in a reader-friendly primer.\n3. Please note that this would qualify as \"female genital mutilation\" or \"FGM.\" For a discussion of the similarities and differences between male and female forms of non-therapeutic genital cutting, let me recommend a popular article I wrote on the subject for Aeon magazine (by way of a brief introduction), or else a formal paper covering the same ideas (if you have more time).\n4. For the sake of this discussion I am going to set aside a rather heated debate about whether \"p\" values should even be used to make statistical inferences; suffice it to say that a lot of statisticians disagree with this whole approach.\n5. Remember, they didn't even test the most sensitive part of the foreskin, so this is a conservative comparison.\n6. In this article, I've focused just on the issue of penile sensitivity, in response to one recent study about circumcision that's been getting some of traction over the past few days. But there's a lot more to circumcision than the question of sensitivity. Some readers who are new to this debate--especially if they live in the U.S.--might be thinking, \"But what about health benefits? Aren't there all sorts of health benefits to circumcision?\" As it happens, I've written a lot about that question in other contexts, but let me refer you to a nice, accessible summary of the relevant data by Morten Frisch. The upshot is that the balance of medical opinion, on a global scale, is that infant circumcision in developed countries--as opposed to, say, adult circumcision in Sub-Saharan Africa--does not confer any net health benefits, when you take into account the countervailing risks and harms.

        "title": "Learning Brings Happiness",
        "raw_content": "Cover Story: Happiness\nBy Manfred Spitzer\nAre happy people healthier, more successful, do they even live longer than those who are unhappy? Psychiatrist Manfred Spitzer examines happiness scientifically and undermines the assertion that school marks the beginning of the \u201cserious side of life\u201d.\nHappiness and learning are very\nclosely linked in our minds: positive\nexperiences activate the nucleus\naccumbens which accelerates the\nPhoto: adapted by permission from\nMacmillan Publishers Ltd/Nature\nBack in the 1970s, the then King of Bhutan, a small Buddhist state in the Himalayas, proclaimed that what mattered to him most was not his country\u2019s gross national product, but its \u201cgross national happiness\u201d, an idea that is discussed throughout the world today. But what exactly is happiness? Why do some people seem to be happier than others? Is happiness genetically determined, can you buy it or \u2013 more recently \u2013 get it on prescription? Is happiness like beauty: immediately recognisable but impossible to describe? Or is happiness like sports or music: it\u2019s what you do that counts; talking about it is pointless? Or is happiness perhaps like silence: if you talk about it, it\u2019s gone?\nEnglish has two separate words, luck and happiness, where German has only one \u2013 Gl\u00fcck \u2013 to describe both a happy coincidence and the feeling of happiness. This is, however, not necessarily a sin of omission with regard to linguistic differentiation, but rather an example of what philosophers call the wisdom of language. Neuroscientific research in the last ten years has shown that positive emotions are very closely linked to something occurring that then turns out to be better than expected.\nWin an Oscar, live longer\nHappy people are less egoistic, less aggressive, less abusive to others and less prone to illness. Happiness is just as important for a long life as a healthy diet and lifestyle. Katharine Hepburn won four Oscars and lived to be 96. No coincidence, as a survey of 1,649 male and female actors showed: the survey first identified 762 winners of an Oscar for a leading or supporting role, then selected a matching group of actors who had appeared in the same films, were the same sex and approximately the same age. This created a control group of 887 actors with no Oscars to their names. A comparison between the two groups revealed that the life expectancy of the Oscar winners was a little less than four years higher than that of their Oscar-less counterparts. Those who won several Oscars even lived on average six years longer! By way of comparison: if we were able to heal all cancers in all humans at all times, the life expectancy of the entire population would increase by two or three years.\n\u201cTo most people, science and happiness are about as compatible as sauerkraut and vanilla sauce.\u201d\nOne of the most persistent myths is that money makes you happy. It is second only to the myth that money does not make you happy, and the one that you shouldn\u2019t pursue happiness because that will only make you unhappy. Many people behave as though the worst thing you can do is to go out and seek happiness, because then you would have no chance of finding it. Nothing could be further from the truth: if you don\u2019t bother looking for Easter eggs, you are unlikely to find many. The same applies to happiness.\nIn fact, there are many ways in which you can increase your likelihood of happiness. You only have to know what to do. And what not to do. So there is, indeed, a link between happiness and knowledge: the knowledge of what we can do to be happy. Consequently, answers to the question of happiness can be found precisely where you would least expect them: in science. That may be surprising to many, because to most people science and happiness are about as compatible as sauerkraut and vanilla sauce. Science is objective, cold, cerebral and calculating; happiness, on the other hand, is subjective, warm and a gut feeling. But nonetheless: humans, like plants and animals, are a product of evolution. Therefore our brain and its functions are not entirely unique in the world. Positive and negative emotions originate in the same structures of the brain that respond in very similar ways to reward and threat, sex and social status in both mice and human beings. Scientific examination of these mechanisms helps us understand better why desiring something is not the same as owning or consuming it, because in the brain they involve different states and functions. Wanting and liking, anticipation and pleasure are not the same things. Both, however, are part of the pursuit of happiness.\nIt is, in fact, possible to describe the experience of happiness in neurobiological detail. From the cocaine injection of an addict in withdrawal to eating chocolate, listening to music, observing fast cars or winning a videogame, to a friendly glance or word: positive experiences activate the nucleus accumbens, a structure deep down in the centre of the brain.\nDeath by pleasure maximisation\nIt was first publicised in 1954 that rats were extremely partial to the electric stimulation of this area of the brain. The animals could stimulate their own neurons by pressing a button. They pressed the button again and again, failed to eat or drink, and finally died because they quite simply did nothing else except permanently achieve quite obviously enormous gratification by stimulating their pleasure centre. It soon became clear that addictive substances stimulate this centre, too, which consequently became known as the addiction centre. What remained unclear, however, was why such a centre should have developed in the course of evolution. \u201cTo facilitate addiction\u201d could hardly be the answer.\n\u201cThe nucleus accumbens is neither pleasure nor addiction centre, and only incidentally a happiness centre. Rather, it is our brain\u2019s own learning booster.\u201d\nOver the last ten years, it has become apparent that learning processes are greatly accelerated by the activation of the nucleus accumbens. With its help, the brain solves a very important and at the same time difficult problem. Every second, the brain is bombarded with enormous amounts of information that it cannot possibly all process, giving rise to the issue of selection: what should be processed further, and what shouldn\u2019t? So what is called for is a module that evaluates and compares. As long as everything goes to plan and nothing occurs with which we are not already familiar, this module does nothing. If, however, something happens that is better than expected, the module is activated and we become alert, turn our attention to the experience and process it more thoroughly. And most importantly: we learn better. In the long term, this allows us to learn about everything that is good for us. The nucleus accumbens is, therefore, neither pleasure nor addiction centre, and only incidentally a happiness centre. Rather, it is our brain\u2019s own learning booster.\nThe bad news is: the module of our brain that is responsible for experiencing happiness is focused not on permanent happiness but on permanently finding interesting novelties. The good news is: those who have understood that learning and happiness are very closely linked in our minds will know that the experience of happiness is always possible throughout life. Thus answers to the question of happiness can be found precisely where you would least expect them: in learning! From a neurobiological point of view, describing school as \u201cthe serious side of life\u201d is, therefore, rather misguided.\nWhat else do we know? Firstly: Let\u2019s start with money. Money does not equal happiness. The 100 richest Americans are only marginally happier than the average American, whose wealth doubled between 1957 and 1996, but whose self-assessment as \u201cvery happy\u201d decreased in the same period. In most countries (with the exception of some very poor countries) there is practically no link between people\u2019s income and their happiness. So more and more money and prosperity do not always make us happier.\nSecondly: When it comes to evaluating our own happiness, we are often very, very wrong. One million dollars will hardly make us happier. But suddenly finding ten cents can make our entire previous life seem happier. Happiness is neither linear nor additive.\n\u201cLong-term happiness has a lot to do with purpose and meaning and very little with consumption or gratification.\u201d\nThirdly: We strive for many things, but not everything we strive for makes us happy. The happiness centre in our brain causes us to strive for addictive substances, but no sensible person would consider a heroin or cocaine addict a desirable model of a lifestyle worth aspiring to. But why not? The reason lies in the function of the happiness centre, which \u2013 as already mentioned \u2013 is actually a learning centre: it generates euphoria and positive emotions, but normally only in connection with learning. Addictive substances effectively usurp this model and decouple the positive affect from the learning process. What remains is the empty, meaningless positive affect, and the loss of all the positive experiences for which the module is normally responsible \u2013 first and foremost, (constant new experiences in) the company of others.\nFourthly: Most people believe that they will be happier in the future than they are now, but this does not actually happen. People tend to overestimate the influence of life events on their happiness.\nFifthly: Happy people are physically and mentally healthier, more successful at learning and work, more creative, more popular, more sociable, less likely to be criminal or addicted, and they live longer. Thus the pursuit of happiness is by no means as egocentric as it sounds. Happy people are better people, in every respect.\nSixthly: Long-term happiness, therefore, has a lot to do with purpose and meaning and very little with consumption or gratification. And, luckily, the hedonic treadmill \u2013 you buy and buy and become increasingly unhappy \u2013 does not apply to all experiences: spending time with family, with friends, having sex, even the quality and security of our work are experiences with positive effects to which we do not become habituated. So happiness derives from our experiences, especially our experiences with other people. How we behave in the process is up to us. Indeed, Abraham Lincoln was right when he said, \u201cMost people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.\u201d And the poet Walter Savage Landor anticipated the hedonic treadmill when he said, \u201cWe are no longer happy so soon as we wish to be happier.\u201d\nIf we add to that Benjamin Franklin\u2019s comment on the American Constitution (\u201cThe Constitution only guarantees the American people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself.\u201d), these deliberations can only conclude with Leo Tolstoy: \u201cIf you want to be happy, be!\u201d\npublished in Humboldt Kosmos 97/2011\nProfessor Dr. Dr. Manfred Spitzer teaches psychiatry, is medical director of the Psychiatrische Universit\u00e4tsklinik and founder of the Transferzentrum f\u00fcr Neurowissenschaften und Lernen at the University of Ulm.

        "raw_content": "Maybe you should have checked the tech first! Photo from pixabay.com CC0\nA useful rule of technology\nIf you're going to teach trainee teachers or colleagues just one rule about technology, it should be this:\nIt's not a question of if the technology goes wrong, but when.\nThat's obvious to those of us who have been around a bit as far as education technology is concerned, but not to those who haven't. In my experience, when something goes wrong for a teacher who has decided to use some ed tech perhaps for the first time, they personalise it. They think it must be something to do with them, or that they are naturally incompetent.\nIn fact, when I was running some training for teachers a few years ago, two really good things happened.\nFirst, something went wrong: the interactive whiteboard stopped interacting, thereby rendering useless my hours of preparation, and depriving the participants of a really good experience.\nWhy do I say that was good? Because several of the teachers there said they felt reassured by it: \"If it can happen to an old hand like you, then we know if it happens to us it won't mean we're useless.\"\nSecondly, after my initial two or three minutes of trying to get it to work and phoning for a technician, I resorted to plan B, which meant that the session still went ahead, and they still had a good experience. That was good because it exemplified good practice.\nTo summarise, the fundamental rules of using technology in teaching are as follows:\n1. It's not a question of if the technology goes wrong, but when. Anything can go wrong, at any time. In the early 2000s there was a widespread internet worm that even brought down Microsoft if I remember correctly. (The Chief Education Officer called me into his office and said that the headteachers were complaining that because of my team of technicians, their schools didn't have internet access. I told him that if he believes that my technicians were responsible for the worldwide stoppage then they should be given a raise for being so highly skilled. But I digress.)\n2. Always have a Plan B, even if that takes the form of printed copies of your presentation.\nOf course, there may be times that the technology goes wrong, and it is their fault. I'm not suggesting a complete abrogation of responsibility. It's up to the teacher to make sure they know how to use the technology, and that everything is in place (eg the device charged up, the video is in the correct format, the wi-fi connection checked and so on). But sometimes things will happen beyond their control.\nIt's important to recognise, though, that if you have the misfortune to have an inspector in your classroom when things go wrong, you won't be able to use that as an excuse for the kids not learning anything. Hence rule number 3:\n3. Move from stage 1 (something going wrong) to stage 2 (Plan B) with the minimum possible delay. That means, do not try to fix the issue yourself once you've spent a moment or two going through the usual procedures (eg checking everything is plugged in, rebooting the device). If you phone for technical support, don't suspend the lesson until they turn up.\nThe basic rule is: continue with the lesson as soon as possible. That's why knowing the near-certainty of something going wrong is so empowering: if you realise that there's nothing much you can do in the situation, then you can carry on without being completely discombobulated.\nIn Computing, Unintended consequences, Using and Teaching Computing & ICT Tags technology, rules\n\u2190 What I've been reading: Deeper Learning With QR Codes and Augmented Reality: A Scannable Solution for Your ClassroomWhat did you see at Bett 2017? \u2192",

        "raw_content": "Madrid is the melting pot of culture. So it\u2019s not surprising that the city offers a wide variety of cuisine. In fact, it is hotly debated whether the Spanish capital has its own cuisine. The truth is, Madrid\u2019s gastronomic treats are largely influenced by Asturians, Andalusians, Galicians, and other early immigrants who settled in the city.\nThere are many dishes considered to be Madrid\u2019s own. One of these is the Cocido Madrile\u00f1o, a stew of chickpeas with vegetables and pork, beef, and chicken \u2013 a huge luscious meal that can truly satisfy your hunger. Another typical Spanish food is Callos, also known as tripe. It is served in many popular restaurants in the city.\nDon\u2019t miss out the garlic soup called as Sopa de Ajo, Tortilla de Patatas or potato omelette, and caracoles or snails. We also highly recommend the Spanish popular recipe of Besugo al horno or baked bream.\nYour Madrid adventure will also not be complete if you do not try the famous Spanish tapa. Tapa is the old gastronomic tradition in Madrid so you can find it in almost any establishments.\nOf course, who would not love to have dessert? When you visit Madrid to study the Spanish language, it is a must that you taste such desserts such as the bartolillos con crema (a small pie with custard), mazapan or marzipan, torrijas (a kind of French toast).",

        "raw_content": "This Is Why Good Employees Resign Within Their First Year (And What You Can Do About\nIf good employees are leaving your company within their first year, there is one big reason why that isn't widely talked about. Here are three things you can do to prevent it.\nUnexpected undesired voluntary turnover is debilitating. Most of us know the huge costs that come with it. There are also hidden costs, including knowledge gaps and a huge burden on employees to get more done with key roles unfilled.\nFirst year turnover leaves an even bigger dent. Some recent studies have shown that as high as 40% of newly hired employees alarmingly leave almost right after they start, and an additional 10% to 20% leave within the first year.\nBetter opportunities, culture challenges, money, job shifts, and supervisor relationships have all been cited as drivers. These are actually all symptoms of the bigger but simple reason why people rapidly jump ship from a new company that they seemingly were excited about:\nLife inside the company was vastly different than what they expected it was going to be.\nWhen you talk with people off the \"exit interview\" record (where the common reasons for leaving are often cited), you usually hear much more emotionally visceral things like:\n\"These people are crazy! I can't work in a place that operates like that.\"\n\"This is absolutely NOT what I signed up for! This isn't the job they said it was.\"\nThis is the stuff that causes people to flee fast. Solve this expectations alignment problem, and you can hit the issue at its core. Here are three things you can do to prevent this common problem:\n1. Recruit for \"fit\" as much as technical skills\nDetermining if someone has the technical skills to do the job on paper is an obvious need. If you stop there, though, you have missed an important part of the equation:\nCan someone do the job the way it is done here?\nI have two clients who couldn't be more different in terms of how they work. One is a hard driving, data driven, financially focused company and the other is a \"people-first culture of caring\" not for profit organization. The type of person who will be successful in the exact same job on paper is totally different.\nBecause of this, many companies screen for fit as their primary criteria operating under the often true premise that they can teach the rest to people.\n2. Be open with candidates about the reality of life in the company\nThe recruiting process is a courtship. Candidates are selling the company on themselves. The company is selling the candidate on why this is the company they should choose.\nWithin that courtship process, though, companies often don't let candidates in on the realities of what life is like on the inside. They only let candidates know what life is like on the company's best day or what the company aspires to be like but without necessarily framing it that way.\nIt is understandable. The company is trying to get the candidate to want to come work there. If life on the inside is drastically different than what the candidate thought it was going to be, though, shock hits. Fight or flight kicks in. Fight usually isn't an option, so flight takes over.\nIt's not about showing all of the company warts but instead creating an honest picture of what it is like on the inside.\nAs an example, one of my clients recently went through a substantial restructure while simultaneously grooming new leadership and entering a period where their pipeline of work wasn't particularly stable. They were also courting an important management position.\nThey chose to be open with the candidate during the recruiting process about what was transpiring. The candidate accepted but wasn't shell-shocked on Day 1.\nIt's not just about big events, either. Sometimes, it is simply about \"how we work around here.\" In my last leadership role before starting my consulting business, I vividly remember a conversation I had with my supervisor about my approach and style, to which she bluntly replied:\n\"We're going to frustrate the hell out of you.\"\nThey did. I found a way out within one year for the first time in my career.\n3. Don't mistake new employee orientation as sufficient on-boarding\nOrientation is an important part of the early on-boarding process but shouldn't be the only thing if you want to prevent first year turnover.\nCompanies that do on-boarding really well focus on culture, role and work clarity, goal setting, formal ways to get the newly hired employee integrated with his or her new team and other teams, building the supervisor-employee relationship, and even creating mentor systems to give new employees outlets to turn to when they get lost.\nSome even extend the on-boarding process up to a year with formal checkpoints along the way so that they can assess how things are going and ensure that the new employee has the necessary support beyond his or her first few days.",

(NYSE:TSN) stock is down 16%, reporting earnings that missed analysts\u2019 expectations.\nEarnings came in at $0.96, which was below the consensus average of $1.24. A major reason for this was that sales revenue came in 13% less compared to a year earlier.\nTyson Foods in involved in the production of processed foods in four different segments: chicken, beef, pork, and prepared food. Sales revenue was down because of a decline in sales in the chicken segment, which accounts for 30% of total sales. (Source: \u201cTyson Stepping Up Investment For More Growth Following Fourth Consecutive Record Year,\u201d Tyson Foods, Inc., November 21, 2016.)\nAnother reason for the stock falling by double-digits is the change at the executive office. Donnie Smith, the current chief executive officer, will be resigning on December 31, 2016. His replacement will be Tom Hayes, who currently serves as Tyson Foods\u2019 president.\nLooking forward, are there positive catalysis ahead for TSN stock?\nAs the new CEO, Hayes will be the one responsible for driving growth across the United States. He will also have access to advice from Smith, who will work as a consultant over the next few years as part of the transition.\nTyson Foods acquired Hillshire Brands in 2014, with the integration process still slowly taking place. Next year, the cost savings from the two companies\u2019 synergy is estimated to be around $675.0 million, which would be reflected in the bottom line.\nAccording to the company outlook, the pricing across the four divisions should see growth in 2017. While the chicken division experienced negative sales this year, next year\u2019s outlook is growth of nine percent to 11%.

        "raw_content": "Was Changing Instagram\u2019s Logo a Bad Idea?\nI read this article and found it very interesting, thought it might be something for you. The article is called Was Changing Instagram\u2019s Logo a Bad Idea? and is located at https://www.indusnet.co.in/was-changing-instagrams-logo-a-bad-idea/.\nA few months ago, Instagram changed its logo. The familiar icon was replaced by something less defined and more minimalist. There was a lot of hue and cry initially but all that seems to have settled down. Instagram is still being used, and people are still sharing pictures. Most people have also forgotten what Instagram\u2019s older logo looked like.\nWell, not really, but nobody seems to be paying attention to Instagram\u2019s new design anymore. This is a luxury that very popular brands enjoy. If Nike redesigned its logo today, it will still be the same popular that it is today. Of course, people are going to get mad and investors may start selling their shares en masse. Yet, Nike will continue to make the great shoes it already makes, and will continue to appeal to a newer generation.\nSimilarly, Instagram is now releasing Snapchat-like features, with 24-hour validity for some pictures. It is also enabling its users to disable hateful comments. And life goes on. Nothing really has changed for Instagram in the last few months, after it changed its logo.\nThere are a few things that we can learn from Instagram\u2019s logo change and what it teaches us about rebranding.\nChanging logo is not a catastrophe\nA lot of companies believe that a logo must never be changed and that if it is, the unthinkable might happen. This is not true. Changing logo does not lead to a catastrophe. It does not alienate your users or customers, though they may not receive it well initially. Changing a logo is also not a threat to your company that should always be avoided unless necessary. On the other hand, a logo change could be an opportunity in the right direction.\nIf your current logo is kind of boring you already, there is no reason why you should not get a new one designed, or at least make changes in the existing one. Changing a logo may bring a lot of benefits, such as new followers, new customers and the ability to appeal to a different demographic. For example, Instagram\u2019s new logo is very youthful, and is likely targeted at Generation Z, the upcoming generation.\nPeople\u2019s memory is often short-lived\nPeople may complain and dislike the logo change initially. Yet, after a while, they tend to forget how the first logo looked. A survey that was recently conducted revealed that most people were unable to describe what a logo looked like, after it was changed 2-3 months previously. This indicates that people\u2019s memory is short lived.\nThey do not remember design very well, and they get used to the changes. It is similar to people complaining when furniture is moved in the drawing room. Yet, after a while, they forget where the chair was initially kept or the couch was previously placed. They begin to accept and even start liking the new position. Similarly, people may dislike changes made to an existing logo. However, after a while, they will embrace it and forget the previous one.\nAdding new features will compensate for unpleasant changes\nIf your new logo is not accepted by a large section of your target audience, there is no need to worry about it. This very large section will soon forget what they were angry about. However, you should ensure that while they are displeased about the logo change, they do not jump ship and go toward your competitor.\nFor that, you will need to compensate the changes made to your brand with some new features that are appealing. This is easy to do, as evidenced by Instagram. Soon after making changes to its logo, Instagram added several new features, with the most memorable one being a Snapchat-like feature, where photos can be set to vanish after 24 hours.\nRebranding may sometimes be necessary\nThe very reason we change logo is because the current one may not be representative of your brands. The current logo may also not be fetching you the results you need. This means, you will need to rebrand your products and services and use a new logo.\nStudies show that a logo change usually brings in new customers. If you are truly looking for new customers to approach you, a rebranding strategy may work very well in your favor. All you need to do is to make changes to the existing logo or get a completely different one.\nAs stated before, it is not going to matter whether your new logo is liked initially or not. Sooner or later, people will embrace the new version and forget the older one. This is just how the human mind works. Just to be sure, get your logo designed by professionals and do not make attempts to change them yourself.\nAs you can see, changing one\u2019s logo is not a big deal. If you do not like your existing logo, you can always change it. It does not matter how long it has been used, and how popular the logo is with your fans. In other words, changing one\u2019s logo is not such a big deal. Moreover, with time, people forget what the previous logo looked like. They will begin to relate to the newer logo the same way they embraced the previous one.\nThis has got something to do with people\u2019s memory patterns. If your new logo is not well received, you still have a right to go ahead with it. After all, you probably have a wonderful mission behind the logo change. Nevertheless, adding new features may help to compensate negative feelings about logo change. People are more likely to ignore what they don\u2019t like, and embrace what they like.\nFinally, rebranding in the way of changing a logo or design is important. Sometimes it is eve necessary. This means, your company may not do well if the current logo isn\u2019t doing what it should. Get expert opinions and decide if you want to change the logo or stick with it. The answer usually will be, there is always room for improving the design somehow.",

        "raw_content": "Machine Parts on IndustryNet\nMachine parts are one of the biggest, important parts of the world of manufacturing. Without them, we wouldn\u2019t be able to build half of what we have today, when our machines broke there would be no fixing them and ultimately it would cost everyone more money in the long run. We rely on various types of machine parts to do different things. As you know machines are made up of various parts that allow them to work together with one another and be able to serve a function as an end results. It\u2019s these parts that have made up the creation of machinery that has inevitably made life easier for everyone and allow companies to produce and manufacture items easier, cheaper and at a better cost.\nWithout parts to a machine, they\u2019d break down and we\u2019d not have a way to repair them. In fact, if this was the case then every time a machine broke down and without the existence of a machine part, we\u2019d be stuck continuously spending money on buying that same machine over and over again. This means the cost of the item it produces or helps to make would also go up and be extremely unaffordable to most people who weren\u2019t wealthy. Without parts, cars would be unfixable, computers, other pieces of machinery and equipment as well would all be useless and probably non-existent.\nIn fact, it\u2019s these same machine parts that are what creates a machine and without them we\u2019d find ourselves in what would be called as the dark ages. This means we\u2019d be taking horses or walking to places, cooking would be done over an open fire, lights would be made from candles, and so forth. We\u2019d literally decline in civilization because so much of what we do and use has heavily relied on the use of these parts to help the machines make things that are used every day that are a necessary part of our lives. As humans we are made up of atoms, molecules and so forth and machines are similar in that way. Machine parts are like the atoms and molecules that make up our human body because like we can\u2019t function and exist without them, nor can a machine.\nNot to say we could not exist without machinery or machine parts because at one point we didn\u2019t have any of these things. We had to learn to live off the earth and everything we did or made was done so by hand with what we had or could find. While times would be extremely hard, the production of just about everything we\u2019ve come to know or use would stop and we\u2019d revert back to living off the land. Everything would be naturally made and created, or simply would no longer exist at all. It\u2019s hard to image not having these types of things, but for centuries upon centuries this was a normal and common every day thing that people lived with and worked around.",

        "raw_content": "Your choice of business intelligence platform is a major factor that affects the efficiency with which your data is analyzed and used in order to make better business decisions. The proliferation of business related technology and data solutions is at an all-time high, so finding the platform that meets your needs and budget can admittedly be challenging.\nSmall and medium-sized businesses are especially at odds with the BI (business intelligence) market, since their needs are not quite as complex as major enterprises. While companies of all sizes make better decisions when they can see and understand their data, smaller businesses generally don\u2019t have the staff or resources to afford the complex data environments and in-house data expertise that enterprise solutions often require. Instead, they need smaller-scale, specialized platforms that can offer personalized user-experiences without requiring data scientists, database administrators, and hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of server hardware. Basically, these businesses want platforms that are effective while being priced for a smaller budget \u2014 investments in BI should enable the company to increase revenues and profits, not become a new cost center.\nPricing, experience, and flexibility are just some of the factors that make it difficult for smaller businesses to find data solutions that present a truly effective business tool. With an overwhelming number of options available and very few BI providers offering trials long enough to make a lasting impression, some businesses may be settling for subpar or overly complicated products.\nINTELLAM delivers BI solutions for companies of all sizes by always maintaining the same high quality deliverables, regardless of the size of the client. Part of the way we are able to do this is by selecting the appropriate platform for the client \u2014 especially in the area of BI, one size does not fit all.

Dundas Data Visualization has a long, successful history with a range of products that work well on their own and seamlessly when used together. Dundas has been an innovator in business intelligence and data visualization, providing deeper insights with greater speed and accuracy than most BI platforms can claim.\nOne of Dundas\u2019 greatest strengths is the flexibility of its platform. Full customization allows you to extend the platform beyond your Dundas programming and integrate as much support as you need. The programmable platform supports data preparation, reporting, analytics, and dashboards according to your needs.\nThere is no reason to be stuck with features that you have no use for. With Dundas you control your experience, customizing the interface and design or integrating and embedding Dundas BI into an already existing system for greater administrative support.\nDundas takes its amazing adaptability one step further by allowing you to tailor user experiences and user self-service BI. Quickly and easily perform tasks and data analysis with drag and drop visual data discovery that allows you to easily create incredible visualizations with the information that is most important to you. Dundas allows you to create your own dashboards and reports without relying on your IT staff and gives you the freedom to perform data analysis on-the-fly or use in-memory data analysis. Convenience is key, and Dundas provides a solution that is both user-friendly and effective.\n4. Single Experience Technology\nOne of the most exciting and innovative features that Dundas has to offer is its single experience interface. Dundas BI uses HTML5 web technology, giving you the power to connect and work with your data from any device, whether it be your cell phone, tablet, or laptop. Compatible with Blackberry, iOS, Android, or Windows and touch friendly to boot, Dundas gives you the ability to conduct full data analysis on the go.\n5.

With highly customizable visualizations and a wide range of layout options you can create the perfect visualization for your business needs. The myriad of visualization options and includes interactive charts, graphs, maps, scorecards and more. The power and flexibility of these data visualizations are the result of twenty years of innovation and research, ensuring that you have the very best at your fingertips.\nUnlike many other business intelligence providers Dundas offers a free 45 day trial of its product. The confidence the company has in its product is obvious by this fact alone, but it really gives you and your business a chance to thoroughly experience the product for yourself. They offer both a free online trial and a free full product download as well as a personal live demo should you require the assistance of someone on their IT team of \u201cSolution Architects\u201d. The trial allows you to experience the full functionality of the product before making a commitment, a great advantage for any business looking to fully explore its options.\n7. Flexible Pricing\nSmall businesses have far more budgetary restraints than large corporations so finding a good BI system can sometimes be hindered by price points. Dundas fully understands this and realizes that smaller companies may not need all the bells and whistles their full program offers. As a result, Dundas offers its product in adaptable licensing packages. Dundas\u2019 pricing \u2013 like its platform \u2013 is flexible. With licensing models that allow you to scale back deployment to specific users and options to buy or lease annually, there is sure to be a Dundas solution to meet your budget.\nAt Intellam we strive to help your small business meet its potential with the best possible business intelligence systems.

        "raw_content": "What\u2019s new in Israeli politics? \"Nothing, really\", seems to be the most agreed-upon analysis of the current political or ideological trends. Seventy years in the life of a nation is nothing, especially when many seem to agree that the nation-state as we know it today is a failing entity with little to no future. While most countries are attempting to cope with the new challenge and/or understand the significance of globalisation, Israel is still searching for its identity and this very difficult quest is what, above all, explains the internal political clashes and alliances. As an example, the conflict between secular and religious, so evident in the daily political discourse, is not just about dietary rules or days of rest or dividing young men from women in uniform. It is part and parcel of the Zionist need to define the borders of the country and, above all, its character.\nThe centre-left movement was in power for 30 years and for many in Israel and abroad the centre-right is considered an aberration of the original ideals of Zionism. This historical misconception makes it difficult for many to understand that Benjamin Netanyahu, the leader of the Likud, represents one of the truest and most active parts of the movement that fought for and created the State of Israel. The 1967 war, with the occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem, changed the shape of Israel and also brought to the forefront of the political and social debate the Likud Zionist dream of a Jewish state from the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River. The project was clearly defined in the charter of the Likud party which was only modified (by eliminating this final goal) for political-diplomatic reasons in the years in which the Labour Party leadership \u2013 Rabin and Peres \u2013 was pushing for a peace treaty with Jordan and found it necessary to leave space for the creation of a Palestinian entity of some sort.\nThe forces of Jewish nationalism that created Netanyahu existed in the Zionist movement from its inception. The components of the right-wing religious coalition, which has served as Bibi\u2019s base, were there since 1948. It was Begin who first brought them together in his government in 1977 and Netanyahu continues to promote this objective as he fights accusations of corruption that could lead to his incrimination. The Prime Minister has clearly indicated that he has no intention to resign but is still considering early elections \u2013 possibly in September \u2013 in an attempt to consolidate his control on a coalition that is wrought by constant infighting. He is seen as giving into some of the more rightist and religious pressures but, in practical terms, the legislation that has put Israel on an apparent path to what some local critic has defined as fascism, can be revoked with a simple order of the Prime Minister. The mass protests along the border with Gaza might extend to the West Bank in the coming days and weeks but, as the threat of a wider conflict with Teheran, only consolidates Netanyahu\u2019s power. He is considered by the majority of Israelis \u2013 even those that do not like him \u2013 as the best man to protect them from outside threats. He is perceived as strong but cautious and justly frightened of a war that could bring devastation to his country.\nAs Israel moves towards elections (next year or possibly in September), the Left is, as in Europe, a brand without a clear political direction even concerning the future of the occupation of the Territories conquered in 1967. The Right, populist at times, is divided into at least two camps, one more secular, the other national-religious, fighting to obtain the control of the state institutions and for the future of the Nation. According to Gregg Roman, director of the Middle East Forum, \u201cUltimately, the Israeli voter\u2019s priorities were guided by security and the economy \u2013 fields where Netanyahu has a marked edge over current challengers \u2013 with regional and international involvements. This condition allows Netanyahu to strongly influence poll results\u201d.\nThe extreme right-wing in the coalition, determined by Naftali Bennet and Avigdor Lieberman, is hoping that the incrimination of Netanyahu will bring about his demise and open the door for a clearer, but not necessarily different, policy. On the other side, the Labour Party is in perpetual turmoil \u2013 a phenomenon in style with that of the Left in most western countries. Since 1994 it has gone through eleven leaders whereas the Likud has had just two. One of the perpetual historical weaknesses of the Left is the fact that the Labour Party \u2013 for fear of being considered a traitor \u2013 cannot form a coalition with the Arab parties that hold 13 seats in this Knesset (Israel\u2019s Parliament). Israel has always had coalition governments and, as the old political movements position themselves for possible early elections or those slated for 2019, new ones emerge with the intent to determine future governments. Most polls predict a strengthening of Likud under Netanyahu. And few voters believe that the Prime Minister will be stopped by the corruption charges. As strange as it might seem, he is considered unifying and respectable. One of the most recent polls predicts that a new party, headed by Orly Levi-Abekasis, would win eight Knesset seats and would be able, should she want to, to work with the centre-left to block the establishment of a right-wing government. It is not clear what her political program is. This independent parliamentarian, daughter of a past leader of the Likud, was until recently a member of Yisrael Beiteinu, the right-wing party of Defence Minister Lieberman.\nWhat appears clearly (and not only from the polls) is that no new leader, especially on the left where the Labour Party\u2019s leader Avraham \u201cAvi\u201d Gabbay remains ambiguous vis-\u00e0-vis the Palestinian question, has emerged with sufficient charismatic appeal and/or a platform that could change the course of Israeli politics.",

It is now three in Women\u2019s Doubles competitions. In 2015 and 2016, Kim Song I had joined forces with Ri Myong Sun to emerge successful; on both occasions beating Kim Hye Song and Ri Mi Gyong in the final.\nOverall when considering the ITTF World Tour and ITTF Challenge Series, it was the fourth time that a pair from DPR Korea has won a Women\u2019s Doubles title; at the 2001 English Open in Chatham, Kim Hyang Mi and Kim Hyon Hui secured the top prize. They beat Japan\u2019s Miyuki Nishi and Yuka Nishii in the final.\nA total of six titles won on home soil; also Kim Song I can add one more to the career tally; in 2012 she claimed the Women\u2019s Singles title on the ITTF World Tour in Sweden, on that occasion she beat Russia\u2019s Polina Mikhailova in the final.\nKim Song I is the most successful player from DPR Korea when ITTF World Tour and ITTF Challenge Series tournaments are considered as a whole; the only other occasion when a player representing DPR Korea has won such a Women\u2019s Singles title is 2001 in Qatar.

        "raw_content": "A Message on Hebrews 6:13-20\nHebrews 6:13-20 (NRSV)\n13 When God made a promise to Abraham, because he had no one greater by whom to swear, he swore by himself, 14 saying, \u201cI will surely bless you and multiply you.\u201d 15 And thus Abraham, having patiently endured, obtained the promise. 16 Human beings, of course, swear by someone greater than themselves, and an oath given as confirmation puts an end to all dispute. 17 In the same way, when God desired to show even more clearly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable character of his purpose, he guaranteed it by an oath, 18 so that through two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible that God would prove false, we who have taken refuge might be strongly encouraged to seize the hope set before us. 19 We have this hope, a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters the inner shrine behind the curtain, 20 where Jesus, a forerunner on our behalf, has entered, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.\nRaise your hand if you\u2019ve ever made a \u201cpinky promise.\u201d You know, that kind of promise that is beyond just a promise. It\u2019s much more serious, much bigger than just a promise. It\u2019s a pinky promise.\nIt\u2019s a way of saying that no matter what happens, the promise will not be broken. It\u2019s like a legal contract, except that it isn\u2019t legal, of course. But making a pinky promise, instead of just a regular promise, indicates the seriousness in which both parties take the commitment to uphold both ends of the promise.\nOkay, so all of us who have made pinky promises, how many ever broken one? Come on now, tell the truth and shame the devil. I think all of us have, at one time or another.\nI did a little research into the pinky promise and found something that is\u2026 Well\u2026 Uncomfortable to me. I found out that the idea actually originated in Japan. In that culture and at that time it meant that if one of the parties broke the promise the punishment would be to cut off the pinky finger of the offender.\nSo, now knowing this, please raise your hand if you\u2019ve broken a pinky promise and our ushers will come by\u2026 No, don\u2019t worry, we\u2019re not going to start cutting off pinkie fingers.\nAs human beings isn\u2019t it interesting the lengths we will go to in declaring a promise that we say we won\u2019t break, but we end up doing anyway? In addition to the pinky promise when I was growing up we would also say something like,\nStick a thousands needles in my eye\u2026\u201d\nWhen you think about it, that\u2019s pretty serious stuff, especially for kids!\nIronically the reason we go to such extreme lengths to validate promises is that we\u2019re really not very good at keeping them.\nIt could be argued that it all started in the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve. God tells them, \u201cHey, you have access to everything here and can eat anything except for this one tree.\u201d I can just hear Adam or Eve turn their head quickly and say, \u201cWhich tree?\u201d\nAnd of course that is exactly the tree they eat from.\nThroughout the Bible we find again and again covenants made between God and humans, and in every instance it is the humans that break the promise made. God never breaks the promise. Not one time. But humans? Well, that\u2019s a different story.\nThere is a cycle that occurs in the Old Testament. Here\u2019s how it goes. God says to obey his words and laws and worship only him and the people will have things go their way and everything will be great. And the people say, \u201cSure, we promise to do that.\u201d And then it isn\u2019t long before they are breaking that promise as they worship foreign gods, and ignore the laws. Well then the consequences of those actions start taking place and God allows foreign forces to come in and take over and kill a bunch of people and sending the survivors off to exile. Then, after they\u2019ve lost everything and are desperate, they call out to God to deliver them, and God has compassion on them and does so. And then the cycle repeats itself.\nI think breaking promises is just part of the sinful nature of humans. Sometimes greed wins out, or lust for power, or some desire that puts one\u2019s needs above others.\nMost of you know I was sick the past couple of weeks. (Boy, was I sick.) I got on Netflix and watch 10 episodes in a row of World War II in Color. As part of that program I was fascinated at how Hitler signed a pact with Russia about how he promised he wouldn\u2019t attack Russia and they would split up the land between the two countries.\nHitler starts taking over all these countries around Germany and is having great success. But then after just two years he breaks that agreement with Russia and goes to war against them, all because he wanted more land than what the agreement gave him. Of course the Russians didn\u2019t take to kindly to that and fought back, forcing Germany to fight wars on two fronts, and then three as Hitler came to the aid of Mussolini in Northern Africa and Italy.\nAnd what really boggles my mind is how many millions of people, not just soldiers but civilians as well, died as a result. Russian losses alone are estimated at 20,000,000 people. That\u2019s not a typo. Twenty million people.\nBreaking a promise can have consequences. Tax time is coming up. When we sign at the bottom of our tax returns we are promising that the information we have given on the forms is accurate and true. If we knowingly break that promise, if we give information that isn\u2019t true, and the IRS figures it out, then there are consequences we will have to deal with.\nWhile humans are bad about not keeping promises we can take comfort as Christians in knowing that God always keeps his promises.\nI think that\u2019s what the writer of Hebrews is telling us in the scripture we read today.\nListen to The Message paraphrase: \u201cWhen God made his promise to Abraham, he backed it to the hilt, putting his own reputation on the line. He said, \u201cI promise that I\u2019ll bless you with everything I have\u2014bless and bless and bless!\u201d Abraham stuck it out and got everything that had been promised to him.\u201d\nRemember the story of Abraham? God said \u201cTrust me and leave everything behind and go to a foreign land and I will bless you.\u201d And Abraham does. Now it\u2019s not a trouble-free journey, but God keeps his end of the promise.\nThe writer of Hebrews continues: \u201cWhen people make promises, they guarantee them by appeal to some authority above them so that if there is any question that they\u2019ll make good on the promise, the authority will back them up. When God wanted to guarantee his promises, he gave his word, a rock-solid guarantee\u2014God can\u2019t break his word. And because his word cannot change, the promise is likewise unchangeable.\u201d\nWe still appeal to higher authority when we make promises. Another program I watched a lot of when I was sick was \u201cCops.\u201d (Yes, I know I need to work on my program selections\u2026) When I watch those episodes I am fascinated by the promises people make to convince the officers of their innocence. \u201cI swear to God those drugs aren\u2019t mine.\u201d I swear to God I didn\u2019t (do whatever they are accused of, even though it\u2019s all on videotape). \u201cI swear to God I haven\u2019t been drinking.\u201d\nAnd even when the evidence is overwhelming against them they still promise using God\u2019s name they are innocent.\nThe writer of Hebrews continues: \u201cWe who have run for our very lives to God have every reason to grab the promised hope with both hands and never let go. It\u2019s an unbreakable spiritual lifeline, reaching past all appearances right to the very presence of God where Jesus, running on ahead of us, has taken up his permanent post as high priest for us, in the order of Melchizedek.\u201d\nNow we need to know the significance of that name \u201cMelchizedek.\u201d If we go back to the 14th chapter of Genesis we find kings and nations at war with each other. Abram (who is later renamed Abraham) has a nephew named Lot who lived in Sodom, and the city is overrun and captured. Lot is marched off into captivity but word gets back to Abram. So he talks about 300 men and goes and attacks the army and frees Lot and other captives and gets back all the possessions the army had taken.\nThe kings of the area are glad of Abram\u2019s success. One of the kings is named Melchizedek, who is King of Salem. He is also the high priest, which is the top of the Jewish religious life of the day. There is no human higher than him in religious terms. And King Melchizedek comes and blesses Abram.\n\u201cAnd King Melchizedek of Salem brought out bread and wine; he was priest of God Most High. He blessed him and said, \u201cBlessed be Abram by God Most High, maker of heaven and earth; and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand!\u201d (Exodus 14:18-20)\nNow Abram goes on to become Abraham, one of the holiest figures of the Old Testament. Melchizedek as the priest is the one who intercedes for the people before God. Later on with Moses when the tabernacle is created it is the high priest, and the high priest only, who can go into the \u201cHoliest of Holies\u201d in the Tabernacle where the Ark of the Covenant was and where it was believed that God resided on earth.\nSo the writer of Hebrews is telling us that Jesus Christ is our high priest, the one who intercedes before God on our behalf. Jesus stands before God representing us.\nJesus\u2019 blood overcomes the sins of all of our broken promises.\nNow just because that is the case doesn\u2019t mean we shouldn\u2019t make promises or try to keep them. Just because our sins are forgiven doesn\u2019t give us license to go and sin all we want to.\nNo. But it should make us more aware of the promises we make to God and do everything we can to keep those.\nWe make a promise, a covenant oath, when we are baptized and becomes members of the body of Christ. We publicly proclaim that we promise to follow Christ, that our words and out actions will fulfill the great commandment to love God and love others.\nBack in 1755 John Wesley led a group of believers in a renewal service at what was known as the \u201cFrench Church\u201d at Spitalfield in London. The service was designed for those in attendance to remember the covenant, or promise, they made when they made the decision to become a Christian.\nAs part of that service the people recited a prayer. Now there is some debate as to who should be credited with the prayer. Wesley credited it to and English Puritan named Richard Alleine, but other scholars believe that it was also influenced by the German Pietist movement.\nAnyway, I think it\u2019s a great prayer. You will find it printed in your bulletin and I hope that you will clip it out and put it somewhere prominent so that you can recite it every day.\nWe are going to stand and say it now, on New Year\u2019s Eve, as a reminder of the promises we made to God:\nlet it be ratified i n heaven.\nSo my challenge to you this week, as we turn the page on the calendar and begin a new year, is for us to remember our promises to God. God is always faithful and always keeps his promises. Let us do our best to keep ours as well.\nhttps://www.jacksonvillemethodist.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/First-United-Methodist-Church-Jacksonville-TX-Logo.png 0 0 admin https://www.jacksonvillemethodist.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/First-United-Methodist-Church-Jacksonville-TX-Logo.png admin2018-01-02 16:13:032018-01-02 16:13:03\"Promises\"\nHappy New Year Another Side of Sunday: Hebrews 6:13-20",

        "raw_content": "An Evening with Adrian Legg \u2013 Tickets \u2013 Jammin Java \u2013 Vienna, VA \u2013 November 13th, 2018\nAn Evening with Adrian Legg\nGlobally acclaimed by critics and fans alike for his unique acoustic and electric \ufb01ngerstyle guitar playing, Adrian Legg masterfully blends diverse musical styles, in\ufb02uences and inspirations to create a distinctive sound all his own. With multiple awards and accolades spanning four decades, Legg has been heralded as a \u201cguitarist of astonishing virtuosity, (whose) imagination and melodic invention seem unbounded,\u201d (Q magazine); \u201cridiculously talented,\u201d (Music Week) and \u201csimply the best acoustic guitar player I\u2019ve ever heard.\u201d(guitar icon Joe Satriani). Setting the stage for his international success in the decades to follow, Legg was named as Acoustic Guitarist of the Decade by the UK\u2019s Guitarist Magazine(1984-94), and Best Acoustic Fingerstylist in Guitar Player Magazine\u2019s Readers\u2019 Poll for four years in a row. (1993-96).\nBut there\u2019s even more to Adrian Legg\u2019s draw as an engaging, one-of-a-kind performer. Described by Audio Magazine as a \"kind of cross between Robert Fripp and Garrison Keillor,\" Legg is more fully characterized as a \u201cgenuine entertainer who excels at not only painting pictures, if not frescoes, and telling stories with music\u2014 but also wittily regaling his audiences with tales from his life and travels and his cogent and often oblique yet thought-provoking observations on a spectrum of topics. It\u2019s all part of his dedication to making his performances a fullblooded emotional experience.\u201d\nOver his career, Legg has released a dozen or more recordings of his original compositions, which are consistently described as \u201cthrilling, engaging, emotionally compelling and evocative.\u201d Legg encapsulates his own music by saying, \u201cI\u2019m a collision between European classicism and the American guitar.\u201d\nLoyal fans around the globe enthusiastically appreciate Legg\u2019s witty, entertaining stories, often shared in between songs onstage and on his live albums. As noted by popular BBC radio personality Andy Kershaw, \u201cQuite simply, there is no one else like him,\u201d citing Legg\u2019s \u201cdazzling technique and equally large dollops of spirit, humor, passion, eclecticism and spontaneity.\u201d\nFor Legg, the essence of his creativity is in live performance.\u201cPlaying live is the whole point,\u201d he stresses.\u201cEveryone makes a journey, an effort; we all come together \u2014 me, the audience,the people who run the venue \u2014 to share this wonderful, universal, human emotional interaction. This is where music lives; it has a huge social value which I think is very important.\u201d\nWhen it comes to musical technique, Legg plays \ufb01ngerstyle guitar, mixing an alternating-bass style with harmonics, banjo-peg retuning and single or double string bending. Often, he plays a piece entirely in arpeggios (similar to a classical guitar style) and extensively uses altered tunings and capos to create his signature sound.\nIn addition to his well-honed gifts as a performer, Legg is an innovator in guitar design and ampli\ufb01cation technology, an instructor, photographer, writer, author, and an at-large commentator for National Public Radio\u2019s \u201cAll Things Considered\u201d which still regularly uses many of his varied guitar interpretations of its theme music. So it\u2019s no wonder that What\u2019s Up magazine hails London-born Legg as \u201cthe greatest British import since Newcastle Brown Ale.\u201d\nBorn in 1948 in a Salvation Army hospital in the London neighborhood of Hackney, Legg experienced music as an integral part of his home life growing up; his father was a pianist/organist who led a church choir and an amateur choral society, and his mother was a singer who also played piano.\nYoung Adrian became a choirboy and was tutored in piano and violin before \ufb01nally settling in as an oboist in his school and local youth orchestras. But the music that captured his imagination was the sound of such electric guitar-led instrumental groups as The Ventures and The Shadows, beamed in from Radio Luxembourg to which he listened in rapt attention and some secrecy. With the concentration at home on classical and \u201cproper\u201d music, and rock or pop guitar considered less than respectable, he nonetheless cobbled together his own jerry-rigged guitars using scraps from his school woodworking class, fret wire, and junk metal bits retrieved from the local bus depot.\nWhile away at boarding school in his teen years, Legg \ufb01nally obtained his \ufb01rst guitar (which he describes as \u201ca dog\u201d) from a mail order catalog and started teaching himself to play from a Shadows songbook.\nAfter leaving school, he worked various odd jobs in London and then Liverpool, where he was invited to play electric guitar in a working country band. The experience was pivotal in his development as a player, largely through hearing various instrumental techniques second and third hand and adapting them to his own approach. \u201cI learned guitar by stealing licks from local players, getting them wrong, and having the results stolen by other players who then got them wrong again,\u201d he explains. \u201cConsequently, through our failures, we each developed a distinct and recognizable musical character.\" The sounds of the pedal steel guitar and banjo also stoked his ambitions for what might be played on the six strings of a guitar.\nFollowing a stint in an Irish show band based in Dublin, Legg moved back to London and continued to gig in club and pub bands for his bread and butter, also touring around and outside Britain.\nWhen one bandleader asked him to play acoustic guitar chords up against a microphone, he became fascinated with the notion of blending the tonality of an acoustic with the ampli\ufb01ed \ufb02exibility of the electric guitar. Thus began an electroacoustic quest that continues today to \ufb01nd the \u201choly guitar grail\u201d that melds tone, technique and technology to allow him to create, and record the music his imagination envisions, and to perform it in any environment. \u201cI wanted something that had the harmonic content of an acoustic, and that had the \ufb02exibility in terms of stringing and volume levels, whatever you wanted to do, of an electric,\u201d he explains.\nStarting to gig as a solo artist in the mid-1970s, Legg won a Guitar magazine solo acoustic competition in both the composition and performance categories, and began writing articles for that magazine and other guitar publications (and later Guitar Player in America), plus authored his \ufb01rst of a number of books, The All Round Gigster. He released his \ufb01rst of \ufb01ve albums in Britain in 1976.\nHis solo skills lead to his being asked to demonstrate guitars at a British Music Fair, and shortly after he began working for Rose Morris & Company\u2019s musical instrument and equipment head of\ufb01ce and warehouse in Gospel Oak (their store still stands on London\u2019s legendary Denmark Street music business strip) doing guitar repairs, quality control, product development and artist/manufacturer contact.\nThis experience led to numerous collaborations and consultations with guitar makers, ampli\ufb01er and pickup manufacturers, and technicians over the years, and a technical book \u201cCustomizing Your Electric Guitar\u201d (Kaye and Ward, Heinnemann) which is still a reference in repair shops around the world.\nAs another part of his instrument industry functions, his increasing development of an innovative original solo guitar repertoire helped in his conducting guitar clinics and product demonstrations at musical instrument and equipment shows in Britain, Europe and later America and Japan. By this point, his original compositions were being used by BBC radio and TV programs, and London\u2019s Ballet Rambert also choreographed one of his songs as a dance piece.\nWith his 1990 American recording debut of Guitars & Other Cathedrals, Legg found even greater success across the pond as a regularly touring solo act, headlining and sharing bills with fellow guitarists Richard Thompson, David Lindley, Eric Johnson, (whose 2005 album, Bloom, Legg plays on), and Joe Satriani, on both his own shows and as part of his G3 Tour package with Johnson and Steve Vai, whose Favored Nations record label released two of Legg\u2019s albums.\nGuitar Player named his records, Guitar for Mortals and Mrs. Crowe\u2019s Blue Waltz as Best Acoustic Album (1992 & \u201993) and Wine,Women & Waltz as Best Overall Guitar Album (1994) in its annual readers\u2019 polls.\nThrough the decades, Legg has continued to delight audiences with his touring on both sides of the Atlantic. His most recently released latest double live CD, (Adrian Legg Live, October 2017) includes many of his enduring, best-loved hits with the entertaining stories behind these songs artfully woven in.\nConscious of the guitar students who follow him, Legg now has three instructional videos on the U.S. market (Beyond Acoustic Guitar, Fingerpicking & Open Tunings and How To Cheat At Guitar), a book collection of his compositions in tablature and standard notation, Pickin\u2019 and Squintin\u2019, and now two online video teaching series at TrueFire.com, the \ufb01rst of which was tested during a year of teaching at a music college in the UK in 2012.\nThroughout his rich and varied career, Adrian Legg has earned the highest praise from music critics. \u201cThrough fast-\ufb01ngered picking, spontaneously layering parts and occasional ringing harmonics, he sounds like an orchestra\u201d (St. Petersburg Times). Guitar Player comments that he \u201ccombines a sublime melodic sense with a mighty right-hand groove, creating pretty music with rhythmically aggressive undercurrents,\u201d while Acoustic Guitar notes,\u201cthe guitar is the most versatile instrument in the world, and nobody demonstrates this better than Adrian Legg.\u201d The Atlanta Journal-Constitution sums up his impact on listeners best by noting, \u201dMr. Legg's compositions, with their narrative melodies and nakedly emotive tones, offer an antidote to the guitar-hero syndrome.\u201d\nAs an artist who de\ufb01es de\ufb01nition, the best way to understand the magic of the multi-talented Adrian Legg is to experience him \ufb01rsthand, something that is profoundly gratifying on many levels.",

        "title": "Joshua P. Allem: Personal Judgment VS National Judgment",
        "raw_content": "Personal Judgment VS National Judgment\nWhen most people talk about God's wrath, they talk about the flood of Noah, the plagues of Egypt, hailstones of fire and brimstone, the annihilation of Sodom and Gomorrah and all the terrifying plagues found in the book of Revelation. But a thorough examination of God's wrath in the Bible shows that there are different types, levels and manifestations of God's wrath that are much more subtle than what we would commonly think of as the wrath of God.\nPERSONAL JUDGMENT:\nGod's wrath toward individuals is something that He has chosen to postpone until after their physical death. God's perspective from outside time observes all things in all individuals, including all the purposes of their heart, all inner thoughts, all motives and possibilities. He sees all potential good and evil within every living human being. God's role as Judge requires from all of us an atonement for transgressions against His Moral Laws. Since all of us in some way have broken His laws, all of us need atonement. That's what the atonement of the Cross is all about. God chose to transfer the debt of all transgressions to an alternative target to bear the wrath of God. The alternative target that God chose was Himself in human flesh. This way, God could satisfy His perfect justice and His perfect love at the same time. Whenever anyone accepts God's balance transfer, they become a new creation that is forever forgiven of all their sins. The former relationship of the guilty before their Judge becomes the relationship of a child before their loving Father. This is what it means to be \"reborn in the Holy Spirit.\"\nIndividuals who will spend their entire lives rejecting God's balance transfer cannot ever be part of God's Kingdom and what's worse, will be sentenced to God's wrath after they die. Fortunately for them, God postpones this as long as possible while simultaneously working privately within their inner thoughts to bring them to the truth. God isn't unreasonable. He knows all about the massive deception on this earth and how much confusion there is toward the subject of God and the afterlife. He also knows how heavily infiltrated the religious organizations are of false prophets and deceptive hypocrites. Thank God that He doesn't rely completely on human wisdom and Christian outreach to get the truth to people. He will PERSONALLY do whatever it takes within the inner consciousness of every human heart to bring them to the full truth before they die.\nIt isn't God's Will that anyone should perish under His wrath. Whenever anyone receives the truth and accepts it within their place in the time-domain, then God from outside time can see that the blood of Christ has covered their entire lives and so He adopts them in Christ before the foundation of the world. But, when anyone receives the truth and chooses to reject it within their place in the time-domain, then God from outside time will see a lifetime filled with rebellion and wickedness and so use all the events of their own wicked lives to fulfill His ultimate purpose in other ways. When they die, their soul will go to the supernatural prison known as Hades where they will await their final judgment.\nFor Christians, God's wrath isn't something to worry about because the Bible explains to us in graphic detail how Jesus bore the full weight of God's wrath on our behalf. Since we've allowed God to transfer our debt to the cross, we've been assured via 1st Thessalonians 5:9 and so many other passages of Scripture that we are now no longer, nor will we ever be again, the subjects of God's wrath. As children of a loving Father, we may be subject to His corrective discipline from time to time, but not His wrath.\nNATIONAL JUDGMENT:\nThe subject of God's wrath toward governments and nations have different applications than God's wrath toward the individual. The blessing and prosperity of nations depends upon their devotion to the One Whom they worship. All human beings collectively will worship something or someone even if it's only themselves. The main problem is that Satan can bless too! So just because a government is prosperous doesn't mean that it's prosperity comes from God.\nAccording to the examples in Scripture, all governments prospering outside the Will of God have a destined appointment with God's wrath. The intensity of that wrath depends upon several key factors. Some forms of God's wrath are designed to warn the population of future judgment if they don't repent of their idolatry. Warnings of this nature usually involve an increased level of criminal violence, threats from enemy nations, financial downturns and natural disasters. These are God's warnings. Even in the Old Testament where you'll find most of God's catastrophic wrath, you will also find God using a nation's enemies to bring them down as He did with Nineveh in 612 BC or Israel in the following century. This form of judgment has a different goal and objective than God's catastrophic wrath. When God pours out His supernatural catastrophic wrath, it's to punish the wicked, dispense justice and uphold His Holy Name. But when He chooses to allow a nation's enemies to bring them down, it's a form of discipline to produce repentance and revival.\nMany Christians believe that since we now live in \"The New Testament Age of Grace\", that God no longer judges nations as He did in The Old Testament and never will again until the prophetic time of the Great Tribulation described in Revelation. But they forget that most of the entire New Testament was written and completed before Jerusalem fell in 70AD. The Christians living in Israel at the time hadn't fallen from God's Grace, but since the land of Israel itself had nationally turned it's back on God and rejected her Messiah, then God withdrew His blessing from the land and allowed her enemies to take her down. Both times Israel fell to foreign enemies, it was first announced and proclaimed by God Himself in the words of the prophets recorded in the Bible. Each and every time it happened, God first told them why judgment was coming and gave them plenty of time to repent.\nMany have labeled this form of judgment, \"God's Passive Wrath\" or more precisely, \"God's Abandonment Wrath\" in which God doesn't destroy or punish the land, He merely steps aside and allows the people of the land to destroy themselves under the weight of their own foolishness. A Biblical example of this toward an individual was when Sampson woke up one morning to find that all of his supernatural strength had been removed from him after he betrayed God to Delilah. Sampson never lost his salvation, but he did lose God's provision of protection from the Philistines.\nAn example of this in more recent history might be what we saw happen to the MRS Titanic in 1912. God did not sink the Titanic, the Titanic sank on it's own after colliding with an iceberg. But it's difficult to dismiss the fact that the Titanic sank on it's maiden voyage after publicly boasting of such superior design ingenuity that \"God Himself Couldn't Sink This Ship\" they boasted as if they had declared war on God and defeated Him. How ironic that she not only sank, but sank during her very first voyage. Another tragic irony is that after colliding with the iceberg, there were hardly enough lifeboats needed to save the entire crew because their pride wouldn't allow them to believe that the Titanic would ever need lifeboats. Did God sink the Titanic in judgment against her? No. Human arrogance and pride is what brought down the Titanic. And since \"God could not sink her\" as they had boasted, then He chose to remove His hand of protection.\nBefore every occasion of God's catastrophic wrath recorded in Scripture, God always gave several chances for the people to repent. The way He often did this was remove His hand of protection so that the people would notice it was missing and seek after Him to get it back. When they did, God postponed judgment and healed their land. When they didn't, God gave further and louder warnings of coming judgment and then waited even longer for the people to repent. God's patience is always recorded as long-suffering. The preaching of repentance before The Great Flood, for example, had begun around 1000 years prior. For an entire millennium, God warned of coming judgment and the people continued to sexually mingle with fallen angels that they worshiped as gods.\nBut what about faithful Christians who are living in a land that God is about to judge with His catastrophic wrath? During the time of preliminary warnings, Christians should be doing what God has always told His people to do during these times. And that's recorded for us in II Chronicles 7:14 which says,\nIn other words, we Christians should get serious about our relationship with God via personal prayer time and Bible study. Most importantly in this is to turn away from our own personal and private sin that we know God has never condoned, He's never liked it in our lives even though He's always forgiven us. Whatever that things is, we know what it is. We've all done our own part in contributing to our nation's immorality and idolatry. Whatever that thing is, we need to lay it down and get real about our relationship with the Lord and then see what God does. Part of that is speaking the truth when people ask about what's going on. People will blame guns, video games, global warming, fracking, racism, political parties and everything but the kitchen sink before identifying the real problem. If we do our part via II Chronicles 7:14, then God is obligated to do His part, which is to heal our land. If God doesn't heal our land and things go from bad to worse, then it will only be because His people which are called by His name, did not humble themselves, they did not pray, they did not seek His face AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS.\nFortunately, whenever God's people are living in a land that He is about to judge with His catastrophic wrath, God will always provide a way of escape for His children before the fireworks start. When God destroyed the earth with a flood, Enoch was first \"raptured\" outta here long before the flood came. Noah and his family were given escape via the ark that he built under God's instruction. Before God wiped out Sodom and Gomorrah, He first sent angels to Lot and his family to get them outta town before the fireworks started. Before God begins judging the entire planet during the reign of the Antichrist, He will first pick up His Bride before those incredible fireworks get started. Unfortunately, until then, we may have to endure the sorrow of living in a land that God has abandoned...\nDue to many recent horrific events in our own nation's history, many are beginning to wonder if the United States isn't currently undergoing God's \"Abandonment Wrath\" right now. Looking at Romans Chapter 1, it's hard to ignore the parallels between what's described there and what we've seen in our own land in the past 100 years, climaxed in the past few. As for the entire book of Romans itself, the first three chapters are a sweeping overview of how all humanity has condemned itself into a desperate need for God's salvation, which has been provided for us and explained in the rest of the book. But verses 18-32 of the first chapter describe the characteristics and the pattern of corporate sin which results in God's \"Abandonment Wrath\".\nTHE SEED OF CORRUPTION: (Romans 1:18-20)\nDespite the best efforts of any conspiratorial governments working behind the scenes, the United States was founded upon a predominantly, pro-Judaeo/Christian worldview. Whenever our nation endured shame, it was because the nation had temporarily abandoned that worldview. But due to our national Christian heritage, our religious freedoms and freedom of speech, our entire land was populated and governed by either godly men and women, or those who were pro-Christian even if they were not Christians themselves. Our education system was founded and maintained by our churches and Christian organizations.\nUnfortunately, a seed of corruption had been planted around the dawn of the 20th Century that would take the next few decades to grow. That seed is the principle of Romans 1:18-20 which speaks of a truth that is repressed and hindered to make it inoperative. According to Romans 1:18-20, everyone can see God's invisible nature and existence through the things which He has created. But men of unrighteousness who see these things will repress the truth and make it inoperative. Isn't it interesting that it was during the latter half of the 19th Century that men who studied and researched the science of creation had begun to slowly advance Darwinian theories of evolution. These men of science advancing evolution knew in their hearts the reality of God's nature according to Romans 1:18-20, but chose to repress that truth, making it inoperative by using scientific theories and jargon to advance what they knew in their heart was not so.\n\"For God\u2019s [holy] wrath and indignation are revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who in their wickedness repress and hinder the truth and make it inoperative. For that which is known about God is evident to them and made plain in their inner consciousness, because God [Himself] has shown it to them. For ever since the creation of the world His invisible nature and attributes, that is, His eternal power and divinity, have been made intelligible and clearly discernible in and through the things that have been made (His handiworks). So [men] are without excuse [altogether without any defense or justification]...\" ~ Romans 1:18-20 AMPLIFIED\n1920s - 1950s: (Romans 1:21-23)\nThose who repressed the truth, making it inoperative had made their way into schools and churches. Since the nation's churches and educational establishments were still Christian organizations, people found a way to compromise science and the Bible by teaching Genesis 1 as symbolizing epochs of eons, replacing the literal interpretation of Biblical Creation with Darwinian evolution. The 6 days of creation became symbolic of millions of years and then Adam and Eve became symbolic of the first primitive humans which had evolved from apes. Psychology and sociology also began replacing literal interpretation of Biblical theology even in many churches. The so-called science of Evolution was one of the primary theologies behind Hitler's extermination of the Jews in the 30s and 40s, but hardly anyone mentions that today. It's the theology of racial supremacy by survival of the fittest. Science became the new religion and while there was much controversial debate between scientists and Christians and even between Christian, the compromise of Biblical science to Darwinian evolution had become the predominant theology in most schools and churches by the late 1950s.\n\"Because when they knew and recognized Him as God, they did not honor and glorify Him as God or give Him thanks. But instead they became futile and godless in their thinking [with vain imaginings, foolish reasoning, and stupid speculations] and their senseless minds were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools [professing to be smart, they made simpletons of themselves]. And by them the glory and majesty and excellence of the immortal God were exchanged for and represented by images, resembling mortal man and birds and beasts and reptiles.\" ~ Romans 1:21-23 AMPLIFIED\nWhile God was slowly being replaced in our schools, classic pornography was being reborn into something new. Playboy Magazine released it's first issue in 1953 with Marilyn Monroe on it's cover. This was the first time that pornographic material had ever been given mainstream exposure in the United States. The mainstreaming of porn influenced the look and feel of sexuality in film and television by the late 1950s. Teenagers became new icons of sexuality and sexual expression by the late 1950s and early 1960s.\nSince the government had been helping fund our nation's schools and colleges, they were able by 1963 with the stroke of a pen and an edict by the Supreme Court, to strip God and all things connected to God from our schools and colleges as if He were a disease to be cured. When I first heard about this, I thought it only meant people could no longer pray in school or before football games. It wasn't until I saw my grandmother's English book from her youth that I realized just how much God was in our education system before 1963. You didn't have to go to church to learn the Bible, you could learn all about it in every subject of every class in every school across the land. All of it was made illegal by a false interpretation by the Supreme Court of a letter from Thomas Jefferson about separation of church and state. Evolution was no longer taught as theory, but scientific fact. The Biblical interpretation of anything, including it's role in our national heritage was stripped from our education system and outlawed.\nThe 1960s also gave birth to an explosion of drug-experimentation which defined the decade. Mind-altering drugs were what the 1960s were known for and their place in American culture has never been overthrown.\nThe 1960s also brought us the sexual revolution which was renowned. It touched all forms of media: magazines, books, records, radio, television and movies. Teens and 20-somethings everywhere were \"making love not war\" as the old traditional avenue for sex had become seen as a \"sexually repressive doctrine of religious extremists.\" Then Penthouse Magazine was released in 1969 which turned things up a notch after redefined pornography even more because of it's boldness in comparison to Playboy. People began to define Playboy as \"softcore\" since Penthouse was more \"hardcore\" in comparison. Since everyone was having sex without responsibility, the subject of unwanted pregnancies became the topic of much conversation. Women were having their unborn babies torn out of their wombs in back alleys with coat-hangers which led the nation into debating about, not the harms of the sexual revolution, but the harms of the laws which were keeping abortion illegal. Abortion-On-Demand: the murdering of unborn babies was legalized in 1973.\nHustler Magazine was released in 1974 which made Penthouse look like Playboy and made Playboy look like the lingerie section of a Sears Catalog. The Motion Picture Association of America re-invented it's movie rating system which allowed nudity in films that weren't rated-X. It was the new Rated-R for audiences 17 and over unless accompanied by an adult. Mainstream films began slipping in the proverbial boob-shot or simulated sex-scene under the new R-Rating. By the late 70's and early 80's, many softcore porn-films had managed to slip their way into mainstream movie theaters under an R-Rating. During the late 1970s, the subject and talk of sex became normal household conversation on network prime-time TV shows, but usually under a more serious storyline such as a married couple wanting to have kids or an older marriage in trouble. It didn't become comical until the 1980s.\nThen the subject of sexually transmitted diseases became the fodder for controversial conversation on daytime talk shows. You could abort a fetus, but you could't abort an STD so that made everybody mad. Christians who promoted abstinence until marriage were told to shut-up, even though it works every time it's tried. Propaganda campaigns were released on television promoting \"safe-sex\" even though condoms at the time could stop the transmission of STDs about as much as a chain-link fence could stop a bullet.\nThen, with the advent of cable television, Playboy started it's own pornography channel which was followed shortly by Pay-Per-View porn and The Spice Network in the 1990s. By this time, sex was talked about and a source of comedy in almost every TV show on every channel with the exception of the proverbial kiddie shows that aired in the mornings and afternoons. Since paid channels aired full pornography, it made the mainstream channels feel like they had permission to air bikini dance programs and edited soft-core porn into goofy Friday night movie-marathons. During these days, sex was so mainstream in every form of media that the kids of my generation as early as 14 years old thought that if they hadn't lost their virginity by then, there was something seriously wrong with you. That was back in the late 1980s!! I can't imagine how bad it must be these days. Then the internet came along in the 1990s with all it had to offer pornography and the rest is history.\n\"Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their [own] hearts to sexual impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves [abandoning them to the degrading power of sin], Because they exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, Who is blessed forever! Amen (so be it).\" ~ Romans 1:24-25 AMPLIFIED\n1990s - THE PRESENT: (Romans 1:26-27)\nThe 1990s launched the era of domestic terrorism and random, demonic school-shootings. Christians who proclaimed that we need to get God back in our schools were told to shut-up, even by some pastors.\nThe 1990s also launched an era of porn-on-demand thanks to late-night television and the rise of the internet. No human male in the history of the world ever had access to what the male of the 1990s and subsequent decades have access to now. At the click of a button, an endless supply of women of all races, ages, hair-styles, body-shapes and sizes can be accessed... all for free. The supply is unlimited, the cost is free, and everything is completely anonymous. Men with respectable marriages, holding professional jobs (even Christian leaders) can quietly and privately search through an endless harem of women without spending a dime, and no one need know. The naked female body has become so over-exposed that teenage girls of Christian homes feel guilt-free working at \"breastraunts\" like Hooters or Bikinis because what's that compared to what we've all been desensitized to on regular TV & internet? That's almost wholesome compared to what we're getting on TV.\nThe 1990s also launched a homosexual explosion in all forms of media: film, television, radio, magazine, etc... Gay characters began appearing as token representatives of the gay community in every film and television show. It didn't matter that only 7% of the American population was gay, they had to make up at least 30% of characters on every TV show.\nThe late 1990s launched one of NBC's most popular sitcoms, called \"Will & Grace\" which totally surrounded the lives and lifestyles of gay men. It was packaged in such a way that even a Christian who had become desensitized to the modern culture would find it fun and entertaining.\nSomewhere in the neighborhood of 2008 was when eHarmony.com was prosecuted by gays for not including a gay/lesbian section on their dating site. eHarmony.com was supposedly the first Christian dating website ever created. So obviously, the creators of the site never expected gays to be interested. There were plenty of other dating websites that the gays could have joined, but no! They wanted the Christian-ran dating website to get them together. So the Christians at eHarmony.com had to betray their own faith and help the gays get together at their website. eHarmony lost, they were forced to add a section for gays, and are now no longer promoting their site as a Christian dating site.\nThen just a few years ago, a Christian who runs a nation-wide chicken-sandwich restaurant, was specifically asked how he felt about gay marriage. Since he was a Biblical Christian, he held the Biblical beliefs of a Christian. These beliefs didn't personally affect gays in the least. There are no \"straight-only\" lines at Chick Filet, nor are there any \"straight-only\" rules about working there. The founder of Chick Filet wasn't a leader in politics, he wasn't a lawyer, he wasn't a judge, or even a pastor of a church. He was a guy who started a chain of restaurants that made chicken sandwiches. He had no way of persecuting gays even if he wanted to. He had never said anything about homosexuality before. It wasn't on his radar. But because his Christian faith was a matter of public record, his stance on gay-marriage was specifically asked about and then brought out into the light. Lesbian and gay groups across America lashed out and attacked the food chain with threats of boycotts and lawsuits. \"WE'LL SHUT YOU DOWN!!!!!!!!\" they said. Lawyers and various judges were getting ready. But then something wonderful and unexpected happened. Christians across America showed their support for the Christian founder's courage and filled the drive-thru lines at every Chick Filet in every town for several weeks in a row.\nShortly thereafter, a gay couple brought a lawsuit against a Christian group who baked wedding cakes. The gay couple could have gone to any number of stores that baked wedding cakes, but they specifically chose the Christian's store. Similar cases happened across the nation with various Christian-run wedding stores, shops, planners, etc... Christians were hauled into court, demanded to betray their faith or shut their businesses down and by order of the court, go through sensitivity training.\nIn 2014, the lesbian mayor of Houston, Texas was so upset about this that she demanded by order of the court, the confiscation of all sermon-notes from Houston's pastors. The pastors jokingly complied saying, \"If she wants to read our sermon notes, that's ok with us. We wish everyone was interested in reading our sermons.\" But the mayor's actions were meant to be a tactic of intimidation. She wanted to make sure those pastors weren't preaching against homosexuality. That's called hate-speech if your a member of the militant gay community.\nThen finally in June of 2015, the Supreme Court overruled the laws of all 50 states banning gay marriage. Men can now marry men and women can now marry women. If any Christian has the legal authority to marry people in church, in courts, or hand out marriage licenses, bake wedding cakes, or any Christian with any responsibility of that nature who refuses to participate in the gay wedding, their refusal will be held as an act of discrimination which can be prosecuted in a court of law. The Christians that reacted quickly in condemning the ruling did so because they are already aware of a movement of Christian persecution that has already begun and is about to get worse. Gay militants across the land have already said boldly and publicly, \"the churches are next!\" This isn't about equality for gays. This is about revenge.\nThere are no Mosques that will accommodate a gay couple because Muslims don't acknowledge gay-marriage either. Why don't we hear anything about gays prosecuting Muslims? Because gays aren't seeking equality. They're seeking to persecute Christians.\nUnfortunately, after the Supreme Court ruling, I actually found myself having to publish this long article in response to Christian bloggers who were upset at other Christians who condemned the ruling.\n\"For this reason God gave them over and abandoned them to vile affections and degrading passions. For their women exchanged their natural function for an unnatural and abnormal one, and the men also turned from natural relations with women and were set ablaze (burning out, consumed) with lust for one another\u2014men committing shameful acts with men and suffering in their own bodies and personalities the inevitable consequences and penalty of their wrong-doing and going astray, which was [their] fitting retribution.\" ~ Romans 1:26-27 AMPLIFIED\nTHE PRESENT & FUTURE HORROR: (Romans 1:28-32)\nSince the Supreme Court legalized gay marriage, a great number of other spiritual upheavals have taken place on American soil for the first time in our history. Several cities across the land have publicly and officially endorsed the worship of Satan and lifted up statues in honor of Lucifer and Satanism, mocking America's freedom of religion. Thousands gathered together in mocking devil costumes as they praised America's religious liberty.\nOur government for the first time in our history, garnered a nuclear deal with Israel's enemies while refusing Israel's leaders to have anything to do with the talks. Under the current administration of Barack Obama, we're giving Israel's enemies everything they want and we're even threatening Israel of an attack against them if they attempt to do anything to destroy Iran's nuclear facilities. No time in our history has America turned it's back on Israel like we have in recent months. It scares me to death.\nThen, as if killing the unborn isn't horrible enough, it's been uncovered that the killers are carefully carving out the body parts to sell on the black market. Victor Frankenstein had nothing on Planned Parenthood. This is no different than what the Nazi's did to the Jews who were tortured and experimented upon for the Nazi's so-called research. This is the United States of the 21st Century.\nIt would appear that the pattern outlined in Romans Chapter 1 is flawless. So what lies ahead in our future if things don't change? It's found in verses 28 to 32...\n\"And so, since they did not see fit to acknowledge God or approve of Him or consider Him worth the knowing, God gave them over to a base and condemned mind to do things not proper or decent but loathsome, Until they were filled (permeated and saturated) with every kind of unrighteousness, iniquity, grasping and covetous greed, and malice. [They were] full of envy and jealousy, murder, strife, deceit and treachery, ill will and cruel ways. [They were] secret backbiters and gossipers, Slanderers, hateful to and hating God, full of insolence, arrogance, [and] boasting; inventors of new forms of evil, disobedient and undutiful to parents. [They were] without understanding, conscienceless and faithless, heartless and loveless [and] merciless. Though they are fully aware of God\u2019s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve to die, they not only do them themselves but approve and applaud others who practice them.\" ~ Romans 1:38-32 AMPLIFIED\nWe've already seen much of this. Every Black Friday (the Friday after Thanksgiving) I think of these verses speaking of \"grasping and covetous greed\" and when I read the rest of the chapter, I see much of what I see on the news every night. People today already seem to be without understanding, conscienceless, heartless, loveless and merciless. Children disobedient to parents? I can't go anywhere in public where I don't hear a child screaming and challenging their parents as if they were his servants and he was their god. The internet and television media is filled with arrogance and boasting; inventors of new forms of evil. Yes, many do approve and applaud others who do things which are deserving of death, even many Christians in the name of tolerance.\nThese times are also described by Paul in II Timothy 3:1-5 where he says,\n\"But understand this, that in the last days will come (set in) perilous times of great stress and trouble [hard to deal with and hard to bear]. For people will be lovers of self and [utterly] self-centered, lovers of money and aroused by an inordinate [greedy] desire for wealth, proud and arrogant and contemptuous boasters. They will be abusive (blasphemous, scoffing), disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy and profane. [They will be] without natural [human] affection (callous and inhuman), relentless (admitting of no truce or appeasement); [they will be] slanderers (false accusers, troublemakers), intemperate and loose in morals and conduct, uncontrolled and fierce, haters of good. [They will be] treacherous [betrayers], rash, [and] inflated with self-conceit. [They will be] lovers of sensual pleasures and vain amusements more than and rather than lovers of God. For [although] they hold a form of piety (true religion), they deny and reject and are strangers to the power of it [their conduct belies the genuineness of their profession]. Avoid [all] such people [turn away from them].\" ~ II Timothy 3:1-5 AMPLIFIED\nEvery bit of that sounds just like the world I live in today. Paul spoke of people losing their ability to have natural affection toward others. A cruel arrogance has taken over the emotions of most people in the world today, accompanied by an impatient rage. We see this in people's treatment of children, cruelty to animals, children's cruelty toward each other and their parents, etc. The very first word that Paul used to summarize the times we're in was the word \"perilous\". The Word \"Perilous\" in that passage was translated from the Greek word, \"chalepos\" and it's definition found in a Strong's Concordance says that it means \"hard to do, hard to take, hard to approach, hard to bear, troublesome, dangerous, harsh, fierce and savage.\" This Greek word is never used anywhere else in the New Testament except for one other time, and it's found in Matthew 8:28 to describe the demoniac who was filled with demons. The definition of his nature was the very same of the \"Perilous Times\" of the last days that Paul warned Timothy about. I believe these are the times we are living in today, especially with the massive increase of UFO sightings and \"alien abductions\" and regular readers to this blog know exactly what that's all about.\nThe biggest twist in the Timothy passage is that those participating in all of this would seem to be promoting themselves as morally good, spiritual, religious, maybe even Christian!!\n\"Woe to Those Who Call Evil Good And Good Evil - Woe To Those Who Are Wise In Their Own Eyes\" ~ Isaiah 5:20-21\nOUR ONLY HOPE: IF ANY\n\"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.\" ~ II Chronicles 7:14\nI say \"If Any\" in the heading for this segment because Bible teachers have been hammering this verse to American Christians for decades and things only continue to go from bad to worse. Why is that? It can only be because His people which are called by His name, have not yet humbled themselves, they have not prayed, they have not sought His face AND TURNED FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS. That's the only explanation, despite the number of signs and bumper stickers which proclaim II Chronicles 7:14.\nGod isn't addressing the pagan left, the corrupt politicians or the corrupt judges in our courts. He's addressing YOU AND ME, those who are called by HIS NAME. It is WE who need to humble OURSELVES, and PRAY, and SEEK HIS FACE.\nIn other words, \"Quit thinking you'll find Me at church or in some daily devotional. Get real and get serious!! Get Me FROM ME & MY WORD, not your pastor. Humble yourself before ME and PRAY, SEEK MY FACE from ME!!!\" and then the most important factor in this is for you and me to TURN FROM OUR WICKED WAYS.\nDo you want God to remove corrupt judges from our courts outlawing righteousness and enforcing wickedness? Then you need to allow God to remove the corruption in your own judgments and your own decisions that usurps your own will over God's Will!!\nDo you want God to stop sexual promiscuity and unlimited abortions in our nation? Then guys, you need to quit looking at porn!! Human wisdom says one has nothing to do with the other. Wisdom of God says, \"you turn from YOUR wicked ways, then I'll heal your land of it's wicked ways.\"\nDo you want God to stop the government from confiscating everyone's income and spending it on things that go against your faith? Then you need to quit blowing $100 a month on lottery tickets to get rich or anything else you know in your heart you shouldn't be investing your money which God has given you.\nBefore God will fix our nation, you gotta let God fix you. NOW!!! Before it's too late!!!\n2nd Chronicles 7:14, Abortion, America, Featured Articles, Gay Marriage, Israel, National Judgment, Perilous Times",

        "raw_content": "Rock \u2018n\u2019 Espa\u00f1ol\nDynamic Mexican band Man\u00e1 is coming to play among the stars \u2013 and then some.\nMana. (photo credit: Courtesy)\nIf anyone can keep up with the rhythm of the Israeli version of Dancing with the Stars, it's Man\u00e1. Not the heavenly foodstuff but the vibrant Grammy-winning Mexican rockers from Guadalajara, who will be performing their signature tune \"Corazon Espinado\" (Pierced Heart) on next week's quarterfinals broadcast.\nContestants such as children's party favorite Yuval Hamebulbal and Orna Datz may be bringing viewers to their feet in the show's seventh season, but the Latino quartet should get them moving, having conquered the rest of the world with their rhythm-happy mix of rock, Latin pop, reggae and ska with lyrics sung in Spanish.\nAfter appearing on the July 7 broadcast, the band fly to perform at a festival in Milan and return to Tel Aviv on July 12 for their debut concert at the Nokia Arena.\n\u201cWe\u2019ve always wanted to come to Israel, but we thought it was nearly impossible,\u201d said Man\u00e1\u2019s longtime drummer Alex Gonzalez last week from the band\u2019s conference room in their Guadalajara headquarters, which also houses a rehearsal space and a studio.\n\u201cWe didn\u2019t think people knew so much about Latin music, but the response we\u2019ve received since we were invited to come has blown us away. Being on the TV show is going to be good and gain us huge exposure, but I think what we\u2019re waiting for is the night we get onstage and interact with the Israeli fans at Nokia.\nIt\u2019s going to be powerful,\u201d he said.\nGonzalez\u2019s tenure with the band dates back to the mid-1980s when he was only 15 years old and they were called Sombrero Verde. Vocalist Jos\u00e9 Fernando (Fher) Olvera, guitarist Ulysses Calleros and his brother Juan Diego, on bass, decided to form a new group based more on their native sound rather than the new wave-influenced rock of Sombrero Verde.\n\u201cI had been playing drums since I was five, so by 15 I could really play,\u201d said Gonzalez, who acquired the nickname \u201cAnimal\u201d for the way he would attack the skins during his solos (his fans affectionately bestow stuffed Muppet animal figures on him at shows).\n\u201cFher had an idea to form a band whose foundation was still pop and rock but incorporated everything from Latin and Caribbean to world beat music \u2013 a band with a lot more fusion but still in essence a rock band,\u201d he explained The idea proved to be not only sound but also timely. By the early 1990s, rock en espa\u00f1ol, or Spanish-language rock music, grabbed a huge audience in the US and evolved into one of the most popular and lasting forms of pop music, with everyone from Ricky Martin and Jennifer Lopez to Carlos Santana and The Gypsy Kings staking their crossover claim.\nMan\u00e1 rode the wave and made it to the top, with their 1992 album D\u00f3nde Jugar\u00e1n los Ni\u00f1os? (Where Will the Children Play?) selling more than three million copies and becoming the biggest Spanish-language rock album of all time.\n\u201cThe whole rock en espa\u00f1ol boom began in Spain and Argentina and moved over to Mexico,\u201d said Gonzalez. \u201cWe were singing in Spanish, but we ran into some opposition from traditionalists who said you can\u2019t play rock music in Spanish, it has to be in English. But we wanted to communicate with our fans in our country; it\u2019s more important that they know what we\u2019re talking about rather than singing in English because everyone else is doing it.\u201d\nSo rather than conform to commercial interests, the band stuck to their Spanish guns, and rock en espa\u00f1ol took off with Man\u00e1 in the pilot\u2019s seat.\nIn a career now spanning more than three decades, they\u2019ve sold 25 million records while earning four Grammy Awards, and seven Latin Grammy Awards. On their most recent albums like Revoluci\u00f3n de Amor (2002), Amar Es Combatir (2007) and 2011\u2019s Drama y Luz, Gonzalez has helped shape the band\u2019s sound with co-production credits along with singer Olvera, a policy the band has followed since the beginning.\n\u201cWe have a democratic approach, and it\u2019s a great way to work,\u201d he said. \u201cIt ensures that the idea that one of us brings will be there as true to the original idea as possible.\nUltimately, the great thing is that what\u2019s coming from the artist is going straight to the listener \u2013 there\u2019s no filter, nobody\u2019s dictating what we should play, say or do,\u201d he said.\n\u201cBack in 1989, we took a risk that was unheard of in those days \u2013 a band just starting out producing their own album. People thought we were crazy, but we think that it\u2019s the best way to assure that what\u2019s going to be created is the same thing that gets to the audience.\u201d\nWhile the band\u2019s Nokia show is the main event of their two upcoming visits to Israel, they\u2019re also looking forward to their performance on Dancing with the Stars, even though Gonzalez admitted that they\u2019re not devoted viewers of the Mexican or American versions.\n\u201cI\u2019ve seen it a couple times, and my daughters love the show because they love to dance,\u201d he said.\nAs a drummer, who lays down the foundation for the band\u2019s highly rhythmic music, Gonzalez could probably give some of the contestants a run for their money.\nBut he feels most comfortable running the show from behind his drum kit.\n\u201cThe fact that we use so many different tempos and different fusions of music makes it interesting to me as a drummer,\u201d he said. \u201cOur music is so versatile, from slow and mid-tempo to very fast. \u2013 it\u2019s never stalled and it\u2019s always something different. But no matter what, I always try to keep my hands on the pulse and keep the beat going forward.\u201d\nThat should get those stars dancing.\nFollow @JPost_Lifestyle",

        "raw_content": "Fundraising for A Smile For A Child\nGet Beatrice Mobile\nBeatrice being Beatrice for A Smile For A Child because she's awesome!\nTeam members: Andrew Howden\nEvent: Iron Man Wales, 11 Sep 2011\nWe enrich the life of a disabled child to help disabled children enjoy sport\nIt's been a while since I've done any physical activity to raise money for A Smile for a Child.\nI'm heavier than ever. I'm more unfit than ever.\nSo this is the obvious time to set myself a small challenge. This might not seem like a challenge to most, especially given the things I have attempted in the past, but for me right now it will be a stretch and then some.\nI aim to run 2 miles every day for forty days.\nPlease sponsor me as much or as little as you like. Motivation will be a challenge for me, so knowing that I'm raising money, I hope, will give me the kick up the bottom I need to get out of the door.\nSee you in thirty days xx\nPlease sponsor Beatrice to be Beatrice. She's doing it every day and needs a new chair in April to keep going. There's a wide range of other expenses on the horizon too. A new Wheelchair vehicle, standing frames and so on. The new chair alone is \u00a323,142. Any help you can give will be most appreciated xxxxx.\nHere's our original fundraising quest from 2010. She's still with us and she's still awesome!\nBeatrice is our beautiful five year old daughter. She is bright and full of life, always wanting to explore the world around her. Beatrice is always happy and ready to greet new people with a smile and a wave.\nIn July 2010 we received the news that Beatrice has Type II SMA (Spinal Muscular Atrophy). This, amongst other things, means she'll never walk. Gutting, to say the least. It's taken us a while to get used to this (Beatrice doesn't seem overly bothered!!), but we're finaly coming to terms with what it will mean for us - Adaptation of house, change of vehicles - All going to be expensive!\nAdded to this, we've found out that our local PCT won't fund an appropriate powered chair for Beatrice. One of the key attributes of children with SMA is that they're smart - really smart. I suppose it's a bit of balance. Limited mobility at a young age, however, can limit opportunities for learning and exploring the child's environment. Therefore early access to mobility is imperative - we want Beatrice to have as close to the same mobility as a normal toddler and this can be achieved through a powered chair with height adjustment - but it doesn't come cheap - \u00a320,000. And we have to change the chair every 5 years, so this is an everlasting campaign so that once we\u2019ve got her mobile, we can keep her mobile! Money raised goes towards equipment/services and anything else that can help improve Beatrice's quality of life.\nAll donations are made with a non-binding condition that the money will go toward Beatrice.\nWe can get there with your help - she'll keep whizzing round for a long time :-)\nAndrew, Amy, Beatrice and Henry xxx\nFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/getbeatricemobile\nWebsite - http://www.getbeatricemobile.org\nTwitter - @getbeamobile\nIt helps disabled children and young people to progress in sport. This is done by it buying sports equipment for them to use . It could be something small and simple to something large like a sports wheelchair. Whatever it is the charity wants it to make a difference to that childs life.",

For months now she has been trying to find the right one - a man with a solid career, a family in mind, and plenty of stamina. Adolfo (Francois Perier) lives in Rome running a profitable business. Looking to share his life with that special person willing to raise a family Adolfo replies to Pina's ad. The couple arrange to meet in the village where Pina lives. Incorporating flashbacks that highlight Pina's and Adolfo's lives, the complexity of the characters are slowly revealed and when the two finally meet Pina quickly concludes that Adolfo is the one. He appears noble, cultured, and ready for a serious commitment - Pina can hardly believe her luck!\nInterested in bringing The Visitor to your school or library?

        "raw_content": "Why I Paid a Premium for Costco\nIt isn\u2019t just the shopping experience that has sold me on the stock. I also love how Costco runs its business.\nI owned shares in Costco (symbol COST, $186) in the early 1990s thanks to its merger with Price Co., a San Diego, Calif., warehouse store in which I held shares. At a time when the rest of the stock market was going gangbusters, my investment in Costco went nowhere. After two whole years, my patience was exhausted. I sold.\nSee Also: Best Kirkland Products to Buy at Costco\nNaturally, that was the catalyst needed to break the stock out of its funk. I've wanted to repurchase Costco shares practically ever since, but I've been deterred by the math. Based on my favorite formula\u2013buy a stock when the price-earnings ratio is less than the sum of the earnings-growth rate and the dividend yield\u2013Costco shares were perpetually too expensive. Even in the midst of the 2008 financial crisis, when shares of other companies could be had for a song, Costco was a touch above my target price.\nSo I waited. And waited. Finally, when the stock market swooned in early February, I bought. Costco shares were still too expensive based on my formula. But because that seems to be the norm, I decided it wouldn't dissuade me from buying a company I really wanted to own.\nEverything about its business impresses me. Let's start with the fact that I have been a Costco shopper for 28 years (it says so on my membership card). I've always been a fan of Costco quality, selection and prices, and part of what sold me on Costco as an investment is that I find myself buying more\u2013and more expensive\u2013products from the retailer every year.\nMore than paper towels. I still fill my pantry at Costco warehouses, of course. But because of Costco's liberal return policies, I find myself buying big-ticket items online that I would never buy sight unseen from another company. I tested big-ticket purchases when I moved to a new house that had a game room. Costco.com was advertising a billiards-table package that appeared to be $500 to $1,000 cheaper than anything comparable. But it was still expensive. I wanted to see and touch it before spending so much money. I called customer service to ask whether I could find it in a warehouse. The representative said no but, sensing my concern, reminded me that I could return it for any reason. \"I can't put a billiard table in my car and drive it back to the warehouse,\" I objected. \"We'll pick it up at no charge,\" the rep said. Two weeks later, Costco delivery agents were setting up the table in my game room. It's not going back.\nNext was a leather living room set. Then outdoor furniture. Soon, I was buying cars through Costco's auto-buying program and using the company's affiliates to insure my house and put solar panels on the roof. I went to Hawaii through Costco travel.\nBut it isn't just the shopping that has sold me on the stock. I also love how Costco runs its business, starting with the fact that the company promotes from within. Current chief executive W. Craig Jelinek rose through the ranks, spending 20 years in various positions in the company's warehouses before joining senior management. Perhaps because top officers know what it's like to work in the warehouses, warehouse employees are paid well and garner generous benefits. Being a good employer allows the company to hire and retain exceptional employees, which makes the business run more smoothly.\nStill, even though I'm a Costco fan, the cheapskate in me flinches a bit at its stock price. At $183 a share, I paid almost 25 times estimated earnings for a company that's expected to increase profits at an annual pace of 17% in the fiscal year that ends in September and pays a paltry dividend (the stock yields 1.1%). According to my formula, I shouldn't have paid more than 17 times earnings. But the stock is already up about $3 per share since I bought in. It may prove to be as big a bargain as everything else I buy at Costco.",

It\u2019s not a life without hassles, but nothing will prepare him for when his daughter, Sydney, vanishes into thin air.\nAt the hotel where she supposedly worked, no one has ever heard of her. Even her closest friends seem to be at a loss. As he retraces Sydney\u2019s steps, Tim discovers that the suburban Connecticut town he always thought of as idyllic is anything but. What he doesn\u2019t know is that his every move is being watched. There are others who want to find Sydney as much as Tim does. And the closer Tim comes to the truth, the closer he comes to every parent\u2019s worst nightmare\u2014and the kind of evil only a parent\u2019s love has a chance in hell of stopping.\nI once again enjoyed the work of this author.

(KOTA TV) Score of people were turned away Thursday night at a presentation exploring the history of west Rapid City land ownership and racial inequities.\nMore than 200 people shoehorned their way into the journey museum for a slide show presentation billed as \"an inconvenient truth.\"\nResearchers Heather Dawn Thompson and Kibbe Conti told the history of 1,200 acres of Rapid City originally owned by the Rapid City Indian Boarding School.\nSioux San Hospital stands today where the school used to be but most of the land is now in the hands of the National Guard, the city of Rapid City and area churches. Federal law holds that \u201cNeedy Indians\u201d derive benefit from some of the land but there is little in the record to show that has been adhered to.\nThe researchers hope a positive conversation can come of a deeper understanding of the land's history.\n\u201cWe're hoping this opens a whole new conversation within the Rapid City community,\u201d said Thompson. \u201cWe hope people start sharing this information and it becomes a shared foundational, historical knowledge and we can talk about how we can move forward in a really positive way from here.\u201d\nThose thoughts seemed to have struck a chord at the Journey Museum.\n\u201cAfter I leave I'm going to take out my phone and I'm going to get as many people as I can and I'm going to say, \u201cHey I went to this really, really eye-opening presentation.\u201d Said Steven High School senior Isabel Anderson. \u201cIt is an important history that we as Natives and non-Natives need to be aware of in order to move forward,\u201d\nA second presentation of Thompson and Conti's work will be given on May 18th.\nGiven the overflow crowd Thursday night, event organizers say they look for a larger venue.",

John McCain in the metro\nKANSAS CITY, Mo. \u2014 With the funeral for John McCain set to be held in Washington, D.C. on Saturday, metro residents who met the late senator continued to remember him this week.\nMcCain passed away on August 25 after suffering from a malignant brain tumor.\nOn Friday, Art Fillmore told 41 Action News about the first time he met McCain back in 1994 during a political fundraiser.\n\"I said, 'Senator, do you mind if I talk to you for a few minutes?\" he said. \"We wound up talking for nearly an hour.\u201d\nFillmore currently serves as the chairman for the Kansas City Vietnam Veterans Memorial.\nMore than 20 years ago, he was able to speak privately with McCain about returning to Vietnam for the first time since the war for a medical mission trip.\n\"He said you have to deal with your demons. Then you get past it and you meet the people,\" Fillmore said. \"I just remember him telling me in our conversation that it\u2019s time to put Vietnam behind us.\u201d\nFillmore later embarked on the trip and was able to help out people in need across Vietnam.\nHe said he still appreciates McCain's advice years later.\n\"It changed my life,\" he said. \"My nightmares ended when I went back there and was bringing healing where I once brought killing. A lot of it was what John McCain said to me.\u201d\nFillmore stayed in touch with McCain following his trip to Vietnam.\nThe veteran described the late senator as a soft-spoken man with a great sense of humor who was filled with courage.\n\"I never met with him and wasn\u2019t inspired by something he said or did,\" Fillmore said. \"He was an incredible man.\u201d\nMcCain also made several stops in the metro during his political career.\nBack in 2008, the Republican nominee for president stopped at Arthur Bryant's Barbeque with running mate Sarah Palin.\n\"You got two political candidates and two major figures coming through the door,\" said current general manager Willis Simpson, who said McCain ordered burnt ends. \"Everybody was like, 'Wow!'\u201d\nWith McCain set to be honored in Washington, D.C on Saturday, Art Fillmore said he would always remember the impact McCain had on his life.\n\"I can\u2019t imagine a more admirable person,\" he told 41 Action News. \"He was the epitome of courage and grace.

It quickly established itself as a staple in the LGBT community.

I know 11 people who lost their homes. I know at least 6 to 7 who have lost their cars.

It is his responsibility to account for over 530 million dollars received each year by the County and to issue warrants (checks) in payment of all County obligations, including the distribution of tax dollars to Lake County itself and to its five (5) townships, nine (9) villages, nine (9) cities, ten (10) school districts, and eight (8) library systems as well as other County agencies. The Auditor's General Accounting Department is the watchdog over all County funds and maintains the official records of all receipts, disbursements and fund balances.\nIt is the Auditor's responsibility to serve as the paymaster for over two thousand (2,000) County employees.\nThe Auditor also distributes motor vehicle license fees, gasoline taxes, estate taxes, fines, and local government funds in addition to real estate, personal property and manufactured homes taxes.\nAs Chief Fiscal Officer of the County, the Auditor is required by law to prepare the County's annual financial report.\nLake County has more than 109,000 separate parcels of real estate property. It is the duty of the Auditor to see that every parcel of land and the buildings thereon are fairly and uniformly appraised and then assessed for tax purposes. A general reappraisal is mandated by Ohio Law every six years and an update every three years. The office maintains a detailed record of the appraisal on each parcel in the County, and these records are open for public inspection.\nReal Estate Transfer Department\nFor receiving statements of value and administrating section 319.202 of the Ohio Revised Code, the following is the fee: Conveyance Fee $4.00 per thousand of the value of real property transferred and Transfer Fee $.50 per parcel. Transfers are accepted between the hours of 8 am and 4 pm.\nReal Estate Tax Duplicate and Rates\nPreparation of General Tax List and Duplicate\nAdministration of Special Assessments\nAdministration of Tax Refunds and Abatements\nUnder the law, the County Auditor cannot and does not raise or lower property taxes. Tax rates are determined by the budgetary requests of each governmental unit as authorized by vote of the people and are computed in strict accordance with procedures required by the State Department of Tax Equalization.\nAnnually, the Auditor prepares the General Tax List and Duplicate. Your tax bill is based on the tax rate multiplied by your valuation on this duplicate. This is your proportionate share of the cost of operating your local government including schools, townships, villages, the County, etc.\nOhio law limits the amount of taxation without a vote of the people to what is known as the \"10 mill limitation\" ($10.00 per $1,000 of assessed valuation). Any additional real estate taxes for any purpose must be voted by County residents. Your \"Tax Rate\" is an accumulation of all these levies and bond issues.\nSpecial Assessments are not part of you real estate tax but are included as a separate item on the real estate tax bill. These could include such items as ditch assessments, improvement levies such as street paving, curbs, lighting, sidewalks and sewer or water lines. The Auditor is required by law to keep an accounting of these special assessments, to place them on the tax duplicate as a separate item, and to distribute the money collected to the city, village, township or County office which levied the assessment.\nHomestead Exemption and Property Tax Rollback\nProperty tax rollback and homestead exemptions are forms of property tax relief.\nBeginning with tax year 2014, new participants in the Homestead Exemption Program will be subject to a means test. The exemption will only be available to those otherwise eligible taxpayers with household incomes that do not exceed $32,800 for the 2019 application period as measured by Ohio Adjusted Gross Income for the preceding year. The amount will be indexed to inflation each fall. Existing homestead recipients will continue to receive the credit without being subject to the income test.\nIt is important to realize that in order to be exempt from the means test, the homeowner must actually receive a homestead credit for tax year 2013. This may be by either original, continuing, or late application. If otherwise eligible homeowner who did not participate in the program for 2013 does not file an application by June 2, 2014, to secure exemption for 2013, he/she will be subject to the income test for all future years.\nThe same changes were made to the Homestead Program for manufactured and mobile home tax; but due to the difference in the collection schedule between real property and that tax, the changes will go into effect for tax year 2015. The owners must have received the exemption for tax year 2014 in order to not be subject to the means test.\nThe State budget that was passed beginning July 2013 limits the application of real property tax rollbacks by specifying that the rollbacks may not be applied to reduce the taxes due on any new, additional or replacement levies approved at any election held after the budget's 90 day effective date. This means that new, additional or replacement levies placed on the ballot in August 2013 will receive the rollback, but any new, additional or replacement levy placed on the ballot in November, 2013 or and subsequent year thereafter will not be subject to the rollback reductions. Any renewal levy will continue to be subject to the rollback payments from the State.\nUnder Ohio law it is the responsibility of owners of manufactured homes (house trailers) to register their homes with the County Auditor for tax purposes. Annually, the Auditor's office assesses each manufactured home and prepares a tax duplicate. Tax bills are sent to each owner semi-annually. The House Trailer tax is distributed back to the local taxing districts in the same manner as real estate taxes. In Lake County there are over two thousand (2,000) trailers on the tax duplicate.\nThe Auditor is the Sealer of Weights and Measures for the entire County, thus protecting the general public from the possible loss that may occur from faulty measuring devices such as scales. The method of enforcement is to perform \"spot checks\" on pre-packaged items to test the accuracy of the weight of the contents. Also, all scales and gasoline pumps are inspected on a regular basis. The Auditor is charged with the responsibility of insuring that all State laws relating to weights and measures are strictly enforced.\nThe Auditor's Office is the focal point in the County for issuance of licenses for dogs, kennels, vendors and cigarettes.\nDog licenses comprise the largest number of licenses sold. The annual dog registration is a service designed to benefit the animal, its owner, and the community.\nVendor licenses authorize businesses to sell tangible property to the public collecting sales tax, part of which is returned for use on the local level.\nData Processing Board\nThe County Auditor is the Chief Administrator to the Automatic Data Processing Board. Changes in computer systems and planning must be approved by the Board to automate various County functions. Improving financial and record keeping systems of the County will improve services, reduce costs and provide County officials with a modern management tool to better administer the business of government.\nBudget Commission, Secretary\nBoard of Revision, Secretary\nData Processing Board - Secretary, Chief Administrator\nBudget Commission - The Auditor is the permanent Secretary of the Budget Commission which includes the County Treasurer and the Prosecutor. It is the responsibility of the Commission to annually review the tax budgets of all taxing districts within the County and to determine that all tax levies are properly authorized. In addition, the Commission allocates to local governments and libraries the monies for which they are eligible.\nBoard of Revision - The Auditor is the permanent Secretary of the Board of Revision which also includes the County Treasurer and the President of the Board of Commissioners. It is the responsibility of the Board of Revision to rule with original jurisdiction on property assessment rolls prior to the issuance of the real estate tax list and duplicate. Property valuation complaints are also reviewed.\nRecords Commission - The Auditor is a member of the Records Commission which is comprised of the County Recorder, Prosecutor, Clerk of Courts, a County Commissioner, and a Common Pleas Judge. It is this Commission's responsibility to review records management programs and applications for records disposal or transfer.\nAutomatic Data Processing Board - The Auditor is the Chief Administrator and permanent Secretary of the Automatic Data Processing Board. Board membership includes the County Treasurer, Clerk of Courts, a County Commissioner, two members of the County Board of Elections, and the Recorder or a representative appointed by each. The Board of County Commissioners having established, by resolution, a County Automatic Data Processing Board, no County office shall purchase, lease, operate, or contract for the use of any data processing equipment without prior approval of the Board.",

That is a budget that has no hope for anybody because when you look at the statistics and the figures, there is poverty. If you look at the figures based on revenues that are coming in, there is nothing left, so where is the future?\u201d Saraki said.\nAccording to him, the budget proposal, as presented by President Buhari, failed to indicate how it will be funded.\nThe President of the Senate handed down the damning verdict in Abuja on Thursday where the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democracy Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, was billed to address some Civil Society Organisations (CSOs).\nSaraki, who spoke in his capacity as the Director General of the PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation, also said Nigerians lived in a safer environment in 2015 than what obtained at present.\nAddressing the gathering of the CSOs, Saraki continued, \u201cThere must be an alternative and that is what we hope that by this evening, speaking to our candidate and vice presidential candidate, is not based on sentiments. We are not voting on sentiments we are voting on what is in it for you.\nSaraki predicted that President Muhammadu Buhari will not attend the presidential debate billed to hold on January 19, 2019, saying however that any President seeking to lead the country should be able to come forward and tell the people what he wants to do for them.\nSpeaking further, Saraki said, \u201cThis is an interactive session. I am not sure whether the other political parties will give you an opportunity like this to ask them questions.\n\u201cI am told that one has debated and you already know the answer to that debate. On the second one, I am very sure he is not going to debate. So how do you assess somebody who is not ready to tell you what he is going to do?\n\u201cThose days are gone, my good people. The future of this country, a country that leads the continent that is not the example we want to set for this continent.\n\u201cThe whole world is going in a direction, if you are seeking a position, you must come and tell people what you want to do, you must sit down and they will ask you questions and that is why we are here.\n\u201cToday is your day, we will sit down and take questions. I hope at the end of this exercise, you will stand up and say yes, this is the team that will secure Nigeria; this is the team that will unite Nigeria; this is the team that will fight the poverty in town and bring a bright future\u201d.\nAlso speaking at the event, the vice presidential candidate of the PDP, Mr. Peter Obi, similarly faulted the 2019 budget proposal, saying, \u201cWhen you look at the revenue, we will spend 60 percent to service debts. So what is left? And they will borrow more.\n\u201cWhat they borrowed in 2016 and 2017 is the same PDP borrowed in 16 years. When you ask them they say they used it for capital projects\u201d.\nObi said the federal government under the All Progressives Congress (APC) has incurred more debts in three and half years that what the previous PDP administrations incurred in 16 years.\nHe bemoaned the level of poverty in the country and queried President Buhari for asking Nigerians to tighten their belts. According to him, the Nigerian people have no belts again to tighten, adding, \u201cWe now wake up everyday with a sense of helplessness\u201d\nObi blamed present administration for spurning warnings over the alarming rate of job losses and unemployment in the country, saying that the situation could only get worse because the government is not doing the right thing.\nStating that the unemployment rate had jumped from 18.8 percent to 23 percent, the PDP vice presidential candidate said the country is on the negative side of most world indices on development indices.\nObi promised that if the PDP gets elected in 2019, the party would be updating Nigerians with statistics on employment periodically.\nPrevious articleTop 8 Slangs That Rocked Nigerian Social Media In 2018\nNext articleUgandan president tells Miss World Africa to stop wearing weaves",

        "raw_content": "[Procrastination]\nI was going to, but then there was this doco...on squirrels...\npro\u00b7cras\u00b7ti\u00b7na\u00b7tion\n[proh-kras-tuh-ney-shuh'n, pruh\u2010]\nthe act or habit of procrastinating, or putting off or delaying, especially something requiring immediate attention: She was smart, but her constant procrastination led her to be late with almost every assignment.\nI could be writing some of my assignment (as above). Or reading some journals for uni. Or sleeping (see my article on Insomnia). Clearly, I\u2019m not. Not even close.\nInstead I\u2019m writing this article. Which, in the grand scheme of things, ain\u2019t that important at the moment. So why am I doing it?\nWell, to be honest, it will become important in a while. Maybe not tomorrow or the next day, or even next week. But it will. I know that it will make up a part of a larger whole that is slowly carving itself a wonderful niche in my life.\nBut I digress (another form of procrastination!). And the point still stands here; why am I writing this piece as opposed to writing some of my assignment (due in 3 weeks), reading some journal articles (helpful with same), or sleeping (helpful all round, really)?\nBecause procrastination is easier than actual work. It\u2019s slower, less stressful, takes far less brain power, and has the insidious effect of making you believe it won\u2019t last. It will though. Trust me.\nFor example, take this article; procrastination doesn\u2019t necessarily mean you choose to do something pointless or without purpose, it just means you\u2019ve decided not to do the thing that requires the most attention, the most important thing, the top of the priority list. Luckily, in this situation, that\u2019s not quite true, but it\u2019s a fine line. If I\u2019m still writing articles at the end of the week, and my assignment is still a bunch of notes with no direction, then I\u2019m in trouble.\nThat\u2019s procrastination. It usually comes in a series rather than a single event. No one ever procrastinates once, it wouldn\u2019t be procrastination then, it would just be hesitation. And that\u2019s where it gets sinister.\nWilfully choosing to continuously ignore your priorities is the start on a long path to mediocrity.\n[1]You mistake motion for growth, and are lured into vexing situations. This is one of my favourite quotes and rings true every time I hear it. Procrastination makes you think that because you are getting something done means you are accomplishing something. And that\u2019s where that fine line comes back; surely I\u2019m getting something meaningful done? Surely I\u2019ve achieved something? Bullshit. Plain and simple.\nThe truth is, that\u2019s complete rubbish and you need to stop it right now. Don\u2019t misunderstand me here; there are exceptions to the rule. Seriously stressful or complicated enough situations that need some consideration, a bit of chill out time and a cuppa do exist. But 9 times out of 10 it won\u2019t be one of them, and telling yourself they are won\u2019t make it so.\nSo what\u2019s the real appeal then? Procrastination seems like a toxic pastime and highly unhelpful, and yet we all persist at it. Every day, even with the same tasks. What the hell, right?\nThink about this though; how much stress and anguish can you take in one day? Better yet, one hour? Really think about it. I know my level is much higher than I thought, though my ability to cope without support gets lower the more stressed I become. And I\u2019m a badass when it comes to a challenge.\nSo what makes people, even people with confidence such as yours truly, perpetuate this shocking habit? Why wouldn\u2019t I just rise up, take the bull by the horns, and carry on?\nHere\u2019s the kicker; I have no idea what my levels are some days. And I\u2019m scared that they won\u2019t be as high as the day before. Or the month before. Or the year. Even though some hard core, nasty stuff went down all that time ago. Stuff that makes what I\u2019m doing now look like papercut to a rhino.\nAnd it really is that clear cut; fear is the key. Straight up, no bullshit. Fear makes us stupid and whiny and really, really lazy. Lack of confidence turns us into vulnerable, timid creatures with no idea what to do or where to go. It needn\u2019t be a lot of fear; a trickle of doubt will do the trick every time.\nThere is no easy fix for this kind of habit. It\u2019s common, easily communicable, and takes some sincere application to combat. This is one bad habit that can be shared, enabled, and turned into a group activity with enough drive. Sadly, by the time you get to it, the amount of effort required to reverse the effects is high.\nIt\u2019s not all doom and gloom though. Procrastination is easy to kick if you want to ditch it. Note that I say you need to want it. Nothing in life is really worth putting that much hard work and effort in unless you want it. It\u2019s like smokers who say they want to give up, and then go back to smoking time and again. It really is ok to say, \u2018I\u2019d like to, but I don\u2019t really want to\u2019, and then see if you can. I get that; smoking for some of you is a special pastime, a quiet vice, and you like it more than you want to admit much of the time. That\u2019s cool. But please don\u2019t say you want to give up. That\u2019s crap and no one is buying it.\nThe reverse process isn\u2019t fun and it doesn\u2019t always go as well as planned, I won\u2019t lie. But it is worth it. I swear to you. As someone who has procrastinated AND had to take time out, I can tell you it\u2019s more than worth it to figure out which one is actually in play, and sort yourself out.\nStop procrastinating. Take one little step to move away from doing nothing-too-special into doing something worth your time and energy. Aren\u2019t you worth it? I think you are.\nProcrastination sucks. Drop a line in the comments and share, maybe someone has a method for coping you haven't heard yet! Good luck :)\n~**LTM**~\n[1] Douglas Coupland, SHAMPOO PLANET\nHi, I'm Laura. I like to talk a lot. Have you got any tea? ....\nI spent a lot of years writing about writing. Most writers do, or so I hear. And then I got older, and surprisingly wiser ( I was surprised, even if no one else was), and found that I wanted to write things that people wanted to read.\nIt seemed such a simple equation in my head. But I was always rubbish at maths and so it shouldn't have come as a shock that I wanted to be an author. I sometimes think I waited too long, and that all my good stories had been told when I was younger. So the second surprise came when I realised that the best stories get written when you're old enough to make them sound good...\nHere is a repository of all my good stories. At some point I decided I wanted to impart a little wisdom on the world and hopefully receive some in return, so some of them are rants and some of them are laments about the state of things. Most of them are genuine, passionate examinations of life and how to get through it, whether it be by the skin of your teeth or cruising at leisure.\nI hope you enjoy them. I always enjoy telling them.",

        "raw_content": "For Christmas 2007, I surprised most of my family and friends,\nwith my first CD, given away as a present! I had finally found a real way to share my love for music. I was led to J Studios, owned by Joel Mallari, who schooled me in the ways of professional audio recordings. On October 4, 2007, I experienced my first studio session. By October 24, 2007, after seven sessions, I had finished recording as many as 17 covers, but I felt that 13 tracks were good enough to present. When I walked into the studio, for the first time, I thought that I would give my very best, confident that I would produce some amazing music. But, after my first session, I walked out with my knees buckled, and my confidence shaken. Also, for the first time, I was exposed to the truth about creating music. Like time, machines provide no mercy. I successfully produced every note, without exception. Carrying the tune was not the problem. What became painfully clear during playback, was my inability to successfully \u201ctell the story\u201d that transforms ordinary music, into something SPECIAL! I did manage to be \u201csatisfied\u201d,with 3 of the 6 tracks that I had recorded, over a 3.5 hour period, during my first session. But, that\u2019s just it. I wasn\u2019t EXCITED about what I had done. I understand that we are our own worst critics, but the recorded audio didn\u2019t cover the truth with niceties. It\u2019s no surprise to me that the three tracks I did keep, were songs that I had been singing for many years. I understood their stories, well enough. But, for the songs that I didn\u2019t know so well, I had to learn quickly. Joel did a great job in helping me fulfill a lifelong dream, by \u201cimmortalizing\u201d a sample of my love for music. I\u2019m the one who discovered that I had a long way to go before I could ever become an outstanding performer. For a few months, after I had given my CD as gifts, I struggled with my dissatisfaction for my\u201cdebut\u201d. Joel provided spectacular support for presenting the \u201creal\u201d me. That IS exactly what Joel brought to light for ME. Once I overcame my ego, I realized that I needed to become a better student of music. I learned that I wasn\u2019t very good at all. Even now, I continue to pursue excellence, hoping to continually improve upon what I learn, from embracing my love for music.\nRegardless, I am very proud to present what I did help to\nproduce. In reality, my debut CD turned out well. In fact, I\u2019m receiving an UNBELIEVABLE amount of positive feedback for all of my covers. With regards to \u201cUncover This\u201d, a dance studio owner in Sweden asked for my permission to use my cover of \u201cI Need to Know\u201d in her studio! I gleefully responded with a humble \u201cthank you\u201d. People have been asking to buy my CD. I\u2019m receiving countless WONDERFUL compliments for which I am ETERNALLY GRATEFUL. \u201cMany Thanks\u201d to all who are taking time to enjoy what I have to offer. I truly appreciate your attention to me.\nFrom my debut CD, \u201cUncover This\u201d, I\u2019ve already posted four\ntracks on YouTube. I recorded a \u201clive\u201d performance for Josh Groban\u2019s \u201cYou Raise Me Up\u201d and presented the updated version as my 25thvideo post. For my 28th video post, I presented my cover for Marc Anthony\u2019s \u201cI Need to Know\u201d, as it is on my CD. For my 31st video post, I tearfully presented a \u201clive\u201d performance for my cover of Josh Groban\u2019s \u201cTo Where You Are\u201d, in honor of the 11th Memorial for my mom passing into our Lord God's Kingdom in Heaven. And, for my 33rdvideo post, I was honored to present my cover for Michael Martin Murphey\u2019s\u201cWildfire\u201d as a dedication for a YouTube friend, in honor of her friend who had recently succumbed to his battle with cancer. I created a visual story in order to enhance the presentation. Presently, for my fifth track from \u201cUncover This\u201d, I was inspired to present another visual story for my cover of Stephen Bishop\u2019s \u201cOn and On\u201d. I hope that you\u2019ll enjoy it. I will definitely post more tracks from \u201cUncover This\u201d, in a variety of forms, so please look forward to those videos.\nStephen Bishop is an American singer-songwriter, actor, and guitarist. Bishop was born in San Diego, California. He had a major hit in 1977 with the song \"On and On,\" which was a #11 hit in the U.S.\nFrom my debut CD,\u201cUncover This\u201d, I\u2019ve already posted four tracks ...\nErwin Lazaro Angels Among Us Erwin Lazaro,On and On,Stephen Bishop,1977,vocalist,ballads,country music,Erwin,Lazaro,YouTube,Erwin Lazaro YouTube",

        "raw_content": "Sorrel River Ranch, Colorado River Scenic Byway, Moab, Utah\nOn my way to Moab in March, I drove from Grand Junction, Colorado, and took the scenic route on the Colorado River Scenic Byway (aka River Road). Along this road are some spectacular sights not to be missed. As I traveled the road, I passed the Sorrel River Ranch, which brought back some great memories. The first time I visited Moab, I stayed at the ranch with my son. It is a beautiful ranch located on the Colorado River. We splurged a bit (it isn't a cheap place to stay) and spent three nights there.\nOur first night there, I was awoken with the sound of scurrying. I got out of bed and noticed a large mouse walking across the room. The next morning, I stopped at the front desk to report our little visitor. The clerk looked at me like I had two heads and deadpanned, \"You do know this is a working ranch, don't you?\" With that I stuck my tail between my legs and headed out.\n\u2190 Passing Storm - Colorado National MonumentNo Backbone \u2192",

        "raw_content": "Lethbridge Police are investigating a robbery after the owner of a truck confronted a male inside and attempted to stop him as the vehicle sped away.\nOn February 1, 2018 at approximately 5:23 p.m. police responded to the Canadian Tire Gas along the 1200 block of 2 A Avenue North after receiving a report that White Chevrolet Silverado truck had been stolen. Investigation determined the owner of the truck parked his vehicle near the gas pumps and went inside the gas bar. As he left the store he observed an unknown male get inside. The owner jumped onto the driver\u2019s side running board in an attempt to get the male to stop, but the vehicle fled causing the owner to collide with a parked vehicle before he fell off. The owner was examined by EMS but did not require further medical treatment. Police subsequently located the truck a short time later.\nThe suspect is described as a Caucasian male, in his mid-40s. He was wearing a shirt with the buttons undone, a black jacket with teal blue hoodie underneath, blue jeans and black shoes with white soles.\nAnyone who witnessed the incident, recognizes the suspect or has any other information is asked to call 403-328-4444 or Crime Stoppers 1-800-222-8477.",

        "raw_content": "Prayer has no place in the U.S. Capitol. Let\u2019s separate church & state.\nEternal God, the center of our joy. On September 11, 2001, our country united because of an external threat. Remind our law makers that nations are not only destroyed from without but also from within. As each Senator has taken an oath to protect our Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic, provide him or her with the guidance to passionately defend this land we love from the most subtle incursions.\nLord, as some members of our armed forces seek sustenance at charity food pantries and prepare to miss a second payday, something has to give. Forgive us oh might God, for our sins of commission and omission. Remind each senator of the words of Jesus of Nazareth in Luke 10:7: \u201cThose who work deserve their pay.\u201d\nWe pray in your sovereign name, Amen.\nDr. Barry Black, Chaplain, U.S. Senate, January 24, 2019\nYes, Dr. Barry Black\u2019s words were inspiring. Yes, his sentiment was heartfelt and compassionate. Yes, he had the best interests of the 800,000 federal employees, their families, and the larger public in mind. Yes, Senators and Representatives must reopen this unnecessary and devastating government shutdown immediately.\nBut, no, the U.S. Capitol is not an appropriate place for any chaplain to open a congressional session with any type of prayer. It is not the place to invoke the name of God, or Jesus, or Yhwh, of Allah, of Buddha, or the Great Flying Spaghetti Monster, or any deity of any of the over 5,000 known world religions.\nIf someone wishes to hear Dr. Black\u2019s prayer, let them do so in a denominational religious setting, and not in an officially-sponsored governmental venue funded by tax dollars.\nRelated: Pat Robertson raises a \u2018shield of protection\u2019 from Hurricane Florence in prayer\nPresident Donald J. Trump officially proclaimed Sunday, September 3, 2017 (traditionally the sabbath for most Christian denominations) as a National Day of Prayer to commemorate the devastation to life and property caused by Hurricane Harvey. The day before, while visiting with sufferers of the storm\u2019s wrath, Trump said that \u201cTomorrow\u2019s a very big day, so go to your church and pray and enjoy the day.\u201d\nWhatever happened to the alleged wall separating religion and government? While the courts have attempted to reinforce this partition, our presidents have continually attempted to tear it down.\nThough Donald\u2019s order created an ad hoc National Day of Prayer, in April 2010, Judge Barbara Crabb of the U.S. District Court in Wisconsin ruled that the annual National Day of Prayer is unconstitutional by violating the First Amendment\u2019s establishment clause. In her ruling, Judge Crabb stated:\nIt goes beyond mere \u2018acknowledgment\u2019 of religion because its sole purpose is to encourage all citizens to engage in prayer, an inherently religious exercise that serves no secular function in this context.\nShe added that no law prevents people in the United States from praying or from creating non-governmental days of prayer, concluding:\nI understand that many may disagree with that conclusion and some may even view it as a criticism of prayer or those who pray. That is unfortunate. A determination that the government may not endorse a religious message is not a determination that the message itself is harmful, unimportant or undeserving of dissemination.\nCongress established The National Day of Prayer during the Cold War in 1952 (and added \u201cunder God\u201d to the Pledge of Allegiance in 1954, \u201cIn God We Trust\u201d to U.S. coins during the Civil War, and to paper money in 1956).\nIn 1988, Congress set the annual National Day of Prayer as the first Thursday in May. President Obama, under whose presidency the court declared it unconstitutional chose to ignore the ruling by issuing a proclamation beginning:\nThroughout our Nation\u2019s history, Americans have come together in moments of great challenge and uncertainty to humble themselves in prayer.\nGeorge W. Bush and other elected leaders have invoked their Christian faith as the foundation of their political ideology. While governor of Texas, Bush officially declared June 10, 2000 as \u201cJesus Day,\u201d and he advised all Texans \u201cto follow Christ\u2019s example by performing good works in their communities and neighborhoods.\u201d\nSix religious clergy offered prayers and Biblical readings January 20, 2017 atop the balcony of the U.S. Capitol interspersed by Donald Trump and Mike Pence placing their left hands on a stack of Bibles during their swearing-in ceremonies. And ending the festivities, sounds emanated from the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.\nClergy invited to read and offer prayer at the inauguration included five Christians and one Jew: Cardinal Timothy Dolan, archbishop of New York; Rev. Franklin Graham of the Billy Graham Evangelic Association; Rabbi Marvin Hier, founder of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles; Bishop Wayne T. Jackson, pastor at Great Faith Ministries International Church in Detroit; Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference; and Pastor Paula White, of the New Destiny Christian Center in Florida.\nAs I watched the proceedings on TV, I questioned whether I was viewing a presidential swearing-in or, rather, attending an evangelical tent revival as clergy invoked the name of Jesus at least eight times. Trump brought up \u201cGod\u201d four times during his speech:\n\u2026The Bible tells us, \u2018how good and pleasant it is when God\u2019s people live together in unity\u2019\u2026We will be protected by the great men and women of our military and law enforcement and, most importantly, we are protected by God\u2026And, Yes, Together, We Will Make America Great Again. Thank you, God Bless You, And God Bless America.\nNot wanting to exclude Muslims, he said in usual Trump fashion, \u201cWe will reinforce old alliances and form new ones \u2014 and unite the civilized world against radical Islamic terrorism, which we will eradicate completely from the face of the Earth.\u201d\nPresident Barack Obama on Tuesday, January 9, 2013, tapped the Rev. Louie Giglio of Atlanta\u2019s Passion City Church to deliver the benediction during his second inauguration overlooking the Mall of the U.S. Capitol Building later that month. Less than 48 hours later with the controversy surrounding Giglio\u2019s past statements about homosexuality, however, Giglio decided to withdraw from giving the address stating:\nIt is likely that my participation, and the prayer I would offer, will be dwarfed by those seeking to make their agenda a focal point of the inauguration.\nDuring his sermon, \u201cIn Search of a Standard \u2013 Christian Response to Homosexuality,\u201d delivered a decade earlier, Giglio told his parishioners that being gay is a sinful \u201cchoice\u201d and that gay people will be prevented from \u201centering the Kingdom of God.\u201d The \u201conly way out of a homosexual lifestyle \u2026 is through the healing power of Jesus,\u201d he continued.\nAt his first inauguration, Barack Obama chose Evangelical Pastor Rick Warren to deliver the invocation. While Warren has been involved in some positive activities during his ministry, he has been a leading and outspoken opponent of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender rights. He worked as one of the chief lobbyists for the passage of Proposition 8 in California de-legitimizing marriage for same-sex couples.\nIn his public statements, he likened marriage for same-sex couples to incestuous marriage between a brother and sister and to polygamy. In November 2012, Warren went further by telling CNN\u2019s Piers Morgan that being gay is a bit like eating arsenic or \u201cpunching a guy in the nose.\u201d\nIn addition, Warren has called into question the concept of separation of religion and government, and he said that Obama has \u201cintentionally infringed upon religious liberties\u201d with his contraception mandates.\nObama\u2019s choice of Giglio and Warren, even if they had not been divisive figures, by giving blatantly sectarian addresses at presidential inaugurals raises several critical issues.\nIf the U.S. truly stands as a country dedicated to the concept of the separation of religion and government, as articulated by the First Amendment, why then do presidential inaugurals include \u201cinvocations\u201d (supplications or prayers to God), and \u201cbenedictions\u201d (a short prayer asking for divine assistance, blessings, and guidance given usually at the close of religious services)? In fact, Warren invoked the name of Jesus during his invocation, and closed by reciting the Lord\u2019s Prayer.\nAnd I will go even further: Why indeed does the government require the practice at presidential and other \u201cswearing in\u201d ceremonies of the placement of hands upon the Bibles (composed of the Jewish Bible and the Christian Testaments) and a swearing to the name of \u201calmighty God.\u201d Furthermore, why do we hire chaplains to deliver prayers at the daily openings of Congressional sessions, all paid for by public tax dollars?\nBefore and during his presidency, Bush Jr. and other conservative Christian politicians consistently have called for voucher systems whereby students could choose to attend private parochial schools at public expense, and supported prayer in the public schools as well as at school sporting and other events. Some religious, governmental, and educational leaders also push for the teaching of Creationism (reframed as \u201cIntelligent Design\u201d) to explain the genesis of the world and all its inhabitants.\nSince first erected, that Jeffersonian wall has suffered from increased battering and now barely stands as a worn and tattered ruin. Candidates and elected officials don their Christian credentials like armor to repel potential attacks on their motivations and character.\nMany of our framers, the chief architects of the United States Constitution, most clearly did not have these measures in mind. James Madison, familiarly called the \u201cFather of the Constitution,\u201d was most responsible for the First Amendment along with Thomas Jefferson.\nVirginia was one of the first states following the Revolutionary War to address the issue of religion and government when Thomas Jefferson, who held deist beliefs, drafted \u201cAn Act for the Establishment of Religious Freedom\u201d in 1777. Jefferson\u2019s proposal passed into law in 1786 in Virginia.\nThen, constitutional framers such as Jefferson and Madison negotiated a compromise with Protestant sectarians, which led to the clause written into the First Amendment of the United States Constitution:\nWe must ban the practice of the establishment of religion in governmental settings since everyone has the right to freely exercise and express religion in other venues.\nThough nowhere in the U.S. Constitution does the phrase \u201cseparation of church and state\u201d appear, it was originally drawn from a letter President Thomas Jefferson sent on January 1, 1802 to the Danbury (Connecticut) Baptists Association.\nJefferson held deep concerns over the possibility of erosion of First Amendment\u2019s religious freedoms, as did Madison. In his \u201cLetter to Edward Livingston,\u201d July 10, 1822, Madison opined:\nEvery new and successful example, therefore, or a perfect separation between the ecclesiastical and civil matters, is of importance; and I have no doubt that every new example will succeed, as every past one has done, in showing that religion and Government will both exist in greater purity the less they are mixed together.\nMadison argued against the appointment of chaplains to the two houses of Congress, writing in his \u201cDetached Memoranda,\u201d circa 1820:\nThe Constitution of the U.S. forbids everything like an establishment of a national religion. The law appointing Chaplains establishes a religious worship for the national representatives, to be performed by Ministers of religion, elected by a majority of them; and these are to be paid out of the national taxes\u2026. The establishment of the chaplainship to Congress is a palpable violation of equal rights, as well as of Constitutional principles\u2026.\nEveryone in our country has the right to hold any, or no, religious beliefs as they consider appropriate to suit their lives. This is a basic constitutional right, and more importantly, a basic human right to which all are entitled. Many of the framers of the U.S. Constitution were aware of the dangers of entangling religion with governmental activities and public policy. In fact, though, how \u201cseparate\u201d do religion and government now stand in the United States?\nRather than building a border wall between the U.S. and Mexico, we need, instead, to cement the wall between \u201cecclesiastical and civil matters\u2026[so] that religion and Government will both exist in greater purity the less they are mixed together.\u201d\nBarbara Crabb",

Today we have the ability to readily appreciate this transition and its impact on overall economic productivity. We live in a vastly richer world than has ever existed before, and every one of us above the bare level of subsistence lives better than the wealthiest [00:00:30] elites even just a century ago. But the costs of modernity were many, and they fell disproportionately on the most vulnerable. This is Liberty Chronicles, a project of Libertarianism.org. I\u2019m Anthony Comegna.\nIn England, aristocrats fenced in common lands and used the law to push generations [00:01:00] of so-called strolling poor, or masterless men and women, into the cities to beg or labor for a wage. The old futile order broke its ancient contracts one by one in pursuit of greater individual profits and prospects. The proliferation of private property of course created greater and greater stocks of food, encouraging greater and greater elite investments in overseas exploration, trading, and colonial ventures. [00:01:30] Monarchs continued to grant away bundles of their personal rights in exchange for a cut of the empirical take.\nOver the early modern centuries, roughly the 1400s through the late 1700s, monarchs and mercantile corporate capitalists both benefitted from a system of imperial cooperation. The private actors would provide the capital, the labor, and the risk, while the monarchs would lend legitimacy to the projects, military and [00:02:00] naval protection for chartered ventures, and a legal framework designed to protect the interests of the crown\u2019s friends. Over the centuries, sets of English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, and other imperial conspirators conquered huge portions of the globe in the interests of a new species of public/private partnerships.\nOur task here is to step firmly away from a dreamy sense of accomplishment to starkly see and understand the [00:02:30] human costs of corporate activities. The costs of empire in the Americas included the most catastrophic demographic collapse in human history and perhaps humanity\u2019s most tragic story. Few of us are able even to approach an understanding of how dramatic the level of death actually was. Death rates reached 90 to 95% in the epicenter of Spanish contact in the Caribbean and Mexico, declining [00:03:00] slightly the further out from first contact. Native Americans as far away as New England felt the impact of Columbian Disease Exchange, and by the time of Puritan settlement, the native population was a shadow of its earlier self. In Thomas Morton\u2019s The New English Canaan, Morton related a sympathetic portrait of native life and their sufferings.\nSpeaker 2: \u201cNew English Canaan or New Canaan. Containing an Abstract of New England. [00:03:30] By Thomas Morton. Of a great mortality that happened amongst the Natives of New England, near about the time that the English came there to plant. It fortuned some few years before the English came to inhabit at new Plymouth, in New England, that upon some distaste given in the Massachusetts bay by Frenchmen then trading there with the Natives for beaver, they set upon the men at such advantage that they killed many of them, burned the ship, then riding at Anchor by an Island there \u2026 distributing [00:04:00] them unto 5 Sachems, which were Lords of the several territories adjoining: they did keep them so long as they lived, only to sport themselves at them, and made these five Frenchmen fetch them wood and water, which is the general work that they require of a servant. One of these five men, out living the rest, had learned so much of their language as to rebuke them for their bloody deed, saying that God would be angry with them for it, and that he would in his displeasure destroy them; but the Savages (it [00:04:30] seems boasting of their strength,) replied and said that they were so many that God could not kill them.\n\u201cBut contrary wise, in short time after the hand of God fell heavily upon them, with such a mortal stroke that they died on heaps as they lay in their houses; and the living, that were able to shift for themselves, would run away and let them die, and let their Carcasses lie above the ground without burial. For in a place where many inhabited, there hath been but one left alive to tell what became of [00:05:00] the rest; the living being (as it seems) not able to bury the dead, they were left for Crows, Kites and vermin to prey upon. And the bones and skulls upon the several places of their habitations made such a spectacle after my coming into those parts, that, as I traveled in that Forest near the Massachusetts, it seemed to me a new found Golgotha.\n\u201cBut otherwise, it is the custom of those Indian people to bury their dead ceremoniously and carefully, and then to abandon that [00:05:30] place, because they have no desire the place should put them in mind mortality: and this mortality was not ended when the Brownists of new Plymouth were settled in Patuxet in New England: and by all likelihood the sickness that these Indians died of was the Plague, as by conference with them since my arrival and habitation in those parts, I have learned. And by these means there is yet but a small number of Savages in New England, to that which hath been in former time, and the place is made so much [00:06:00] the more fit for the English Nation to inhabit in, and to erect in it Temples to the glory of God.\u201d\nAnthony Comegna: Europeans, quite certain of their own righteousness, took the Indians\u2019 mass death as evidence of their sinfulness, backwardness, and the inevitability of Christian triumph over Satanic forces. The end result was a colonial culture of apartheid, in which Europeans [00:06:30] of every class steadily enclosed Indians on reservations and restricted their ability to compete alongside whites in the global market. Whites stereotyped the Indians as either gentle or barbarous savages whose depressing history was recognized only when it supported colonial interests.\nThe costs of modernity in Africa included massive depopulation, the disruption of preexisting developments, political [00:07:00] centralization, and monopolization. Radical black historian Walter Rodney famously argued that European imperialism forcibly underdeveloped Africa by exporting millions of people at the peak of their productivity and encouraging what\u2019s call the gun-slave cycle. Europeans looking for slaves usually had to deal with the local monarch. Because kings generally acquired slaves through warfare and traded them for European firearms, the more slaves one could capture, [00:07:30] the more guns one could get. The more guns one had, the more powerful the slave raiders. The more slaves captured at war, the more guns from Europeans, and on and on for decades.\nThe early 18th century empire of Dahomey in West Africa serves as a vivid example of the human costs borne by Africans even before being transported across the oceans. William Snelgrave was a contemporary slave trader and one of the first Western [00:08:00] Africanists. His personal accounts of human trafficking in Africa serve to inform audiences that slavery was really the Africans\u2019 own fault and the systems\u2019 cruelty was actually improved by European imposition into the process. By turning men captured in war and sentenced to death into commodities, the Europeans were saving lives. Of course, while he is careful to detail African violence, he sees only benevolence in his [00:08:30] own position in the process of state formation.\nSpeaker 3: \u201cA New Account of Some Parts of Guinea, and the Slave-Trade (1734). By William Snelgrave. Containing an Account of the Destruction of the Kingdom of Whidaw. In the chief Town of Sabee, the king allowed the Europeans convenient Houses for their Factories: and by him we were protected in our Persons and Goods, and, when our Business was finish\u2019d, [00:09:00] were permitted to go away in Safety. The Road where Ships anchored, was a free Port for all European Nations trading to those Part for Negroes. And this Trade was so very considerable, that it is computed, while it was in a flourishing State, there were above twenty thousand Negroes yearly exported from thence, and the neighboring Places, by the English, French, Dutch, and Portuguese. As this was the principal Part of all the Guinea Coast for the Slave Trade, the [00:09:30] frequent Intercourse that Nation had for many Years carried on with the white People had rendered them so civilized that it was a pleasure to deal with them \u2026\n\u201cThe Custom of the Country allows Polygamy to an excessive degree \u2026 whereby the Land was become so stock\u2019d with People, that the whole Country appeared full of Towns and Villages: And being a very rich Soil, and well cultivated by the Inhabitants, it looked like an entire Garden. Trade having likewise flourished for a long time, had greatly enriched [00:10:00] the People; which, with the Fertility of their Country, had unhappily made them so proud, effeminate, and luxurious that tho\u2019 they could have brought at least one hundred thousand Men into the Field, yet so great were their Fears, that they were driven out of their principal City, by two hundred of their Enemies; and at last lost their whole Country, to a Nation they formerly had contemned. And tho\u2019 this may appear to the Reader very incredible, yet it will sufficiently be illustrated by the following account [00:10:30] \u2026\n\u201cThere is a constant Tradition amongst them, that whenever any Calamity threatens their Country, by imploring the Snake\u2019s Assistance, they are always delivered from it. However this fell out formerly, it now stood them in no stead; neither were the Snakes themselves spared after the Conquest. For the being in great numbers, and a kind of domestick Animals, the Conquerors found many of them in the Houses, which they treated in this manner: They held them up by the middle, [00:11:00] and spoke to them in this manner: If you are Gods, speak and save your selves: Which the poor Snakes not being able to do, the Dahomes cut their Heads off, ripped them open, broiled them on the Coals, and eat them. It is very strange, the Conquerors should so far contemn the Gods of this Country, since they are so barbarous and savage themselves, as to offer human Sacrifices whenever they gain a Victory over their Enemies; and Eye-Witness to which I was, as hereafter [00:11:30] shall be related \u2026\n\u201cThe Country, as we traveled along, appeared beautiful and pleasant, and the Roads good; but desolated by the War, for we saw the remains of abundance of Towns and Villages, with a great quantity of the late Inhabitants bones strewn about the Fields \u2026\n\u201cWe were plagued with Vermin that greatly annoyed us; and that was such an infinite number of Flies, that tho\u2019 we had several Servants with Flappers, to keep them off our Vittles, [00:12:00] yet it was hardly possible to put a bit of Meat into our Mouths, without some of those Vermin with it. These Flies, it seems, were bred by a great number of dead Mens Heads, which were piled on Stages, not far from our Tent, tho\u2019 we did not know so much at that time.\n\u201cAfter we had dined, a Messenger came to us, about three o\u2019clock in the afternoon, from the Great captain, desiring us to go to the King\u2019s Gate; accordingly we went, and in our way saw two large Stages, [00:12:30] on which were heaped a great number of dead Men\u2019s Heads, that afforded no pleasing sight or smell. Our Interpreter told us, they were the Heads of four thousand of the Whidaws, who had been sacrificed by the Dahomes to their God, about three weeks before, as an Acknowledgement of the great Conquest they had obtain\u2019d \u2026\n\u201cHis Majesty was in a large Court palisaded round, fitting (contrary to the Custom of the Country) on a fine gilt Chair, which he had taken form the King of Whidaw [00:13:00] \u2026\n\u201cThe King had a Gown on, flowered with Gold, which reached as low as his Ancles; an European embroidered Hat on his Head; with Sandals on his Feet \u2026\n\u201cSoon, a principal Man of the Court came and stood by us, and bid the Interpreter ask us, \u2018How we liked the Sight?\u2019 to which we replied, \u2018Not at all: For our God had expressly forbid us using Mankind in so cruel a manner: That our Curiosity had drawn us to come and see it; which if we had [00:13:30] not done, we could never have believed it \u2026 I observed to him, that the grand Law both of Whites and Blacks, with all their Fellow Creatures was: To do to others no otherwise, than as they desired to be done unto: And that our God had enjoined this to us on pain of very severe Punishments.\u2019 To which he answered, This was the Custom of his Country; and so he left us \u2026\n\u201cHe answered, \u2018It was best to put [the old men] to death; for being frown wise [00:14:00] by their Age and a long Experience, if they were preserved, they would be ever plotting against their Masters, and to disturb the Country; for they never would be easy under Slavery, having been the chief Men in their own Land. Moreover, if they should be spared, no European would buy them, on account of their Age \u2026\u2019\n\u201cIt seems the King of Dahome is grown exceedingly cruel towards his People, being always suspicious, that Plots and Conspiracies are carrying on against him: So that he frequently cuts [00:14:30] off some of his great Men on bare Surmises. This \u2026 has so soured his Temper, that he is likewise greatly altered towards the Europeans \u2026\n\u201cNow all the Countries near the Sea side, which the King of Dahome could possibly get at, are not only conquered, but also turned into Desolation, with the Inland Parts, in so terrible a manner, that there is no Prospect of Trade\u2019s reviving there again for many Years, or at least so long as the Conqueror lives. What little there is, is [00:15:00] carried on chiefly at Appah, a place secured from him by a Morass and a River.\u201d\nAnthony Comegna: The primary costs of corporate imperialism to Europeans came in the form of indentured servitude, essentially impressment into New World prison labor regimes, \u201cproletarianization\u201d in European cities, or in bearing the financial burden of hostile market forces so aristocrats and their corporate creations [00:15:30] might profit. While earlier colonial powers relied mainly on enslaved or semi-enslaved indigenous and African laborers, the English efforts toward empire began with very different models than their Iberian rivals. Using the brutal conquests and expropriation of Ireland as their model, the English West Country men staged a propaganda and lobbying campaign to replicate the process in the Americas. The colonial promoters included Sirs [00:16:00] Francis Drake, Richard Grenville, John Hawkins, Walter Raleigh, Humphrey Gilbert, and the brothers Richard Hakluyt, one a lawyer, the other a clergyman.\nThe West Country men combined Protestant zeal with fresh experience in ruthlessly crushing foreign populations. Scenes from the English conquest in Ireland mirror Snelgrave\u2019s account of the Dahomean Empire a century later under the influence of the slave trade. Historian Alan Taylor writes, [00:16:30] \u201cTreating the Irish as treacherous beasts, the English waged a war of terror and intimidation, executing prisoners by the hundred, including women and children. The English commander Sir Humphrey Gilbert decorated the path leading to his tent with human heads.\u201d Taylor quotes Gilbert\u2019s personal publicist, who claimed, \u201cThe scenes delivered great terror to the people when they saw the heads of their dead fathers, brothers, children, kinsfolk, and friends [00:17:00] lie on the ground before their faces as they came to speak with the colonel.\u201d The promoters planned to gather investment capital, a monopolistic charter, and a bevy of indentured servants to work the colony. To get the capital, they would sell shares in a joint stock company of adventurers and capitalists. To secure the charter of their rights and privileges, they promised the queen a portion of their revenues and their fealty.\nLabor though, that was the [00:17:30] tricky part, and it remained so for the first half century of English settlement in the Americas. Very few of England\u2019s sturdy beggars volunteered to strike it rich in a new and wondrous land. Rather, the vast majority of the early colonists came through a combination of force and fraud. As part of their bargain with the crown, promoters secured legal changes penalizing previously minor offenses like vagrancy with the perp\u2019s choice, [00:18:00] death or indentured servitude in Virginia. Some even more unscrupulous figures kidnapped children or drugged and sold masterless men and women to their new rulers across the ocean.\nThe first attempt at English settlement in Roanoke was more of a conquering army than a colonizing venture. The 1585 colony dissolved within a year, and the subsequent colony vanished while the Armada Crisis prevented the arrival of fresh supplies. [00:18:30] Settlers probably adapted themselves to life with friendly Indian tribes, but according to at least one native, the Algonquin paramount chief Powhatan killed any surviving Roanoke refugees as retribution for their despicable, hostile behavior. As we will see, the lives and prospects of indentured servants and early colonists of all sorts did not fare much better for several generations.\nBut the costs of empire were not merely seen in violence on the [00:19:00] geographic fringe. The masterless men and women fortunate enough to stay in London suffered untold horrors of their own. England\u2019s new proletarians included easily othered, marginalized people who were nonetheless instrumental in generating the modern economy in modern culture. As Marcus Rediker and Peter Linebaugh write in The Many-Headed Hydra, the proletarians created by enclosure worked as skilled navigators and sailors on early Transatlantic [00:19:30] ships, as slaves on American plantations, and as entertainers, sex workers, and servants in London. Forced to participate in the new corporate capitalist economy, they found their way from enclosed common fields to whatever economic niche was available to them. Many did not remember the days before enclosure in utopian fashion. To them, it was a recent memory and a real way of life torn from them by the combined [00:20:00] forces of wealth and power. In many ways, medieval life was stolen from people during the fledgling days of early modernity, and libertarians rather than wholesale ignoring or rejecting this legacy should learn to reconcile with it, that we might avoid similar calamities during transformational periods within our own time.\nIn 1607, the class of colonial promoters secured [00:20:30] a charter for the colony called Virginia. Possessed of a host of monopoly powers and privileges, and almost absolute authority over the territory, including the right to institute martial law, the proprietors secured nine ships for the first settlement. Eight of them made it. The Sea Venture ran afoul of a hurricane and wrecked off the Bermuda shoals. Though they expected to find an isle of devils, the 150 shipwrecked [00:21:00] colonists found paradise and plenty. While Virginians starved to death, their reinforcements on Bermuda decided they preferred paradise over hell.\nLiberty Chronicles is a project of Libertarianism.org. It is produced by Tess Terrible.

        "raw_content": "Famous Castles in ireland - Lismore Castle Waterford Ireland - owned by Duke of Devoshire\nCastles to Stay in Ireland\nLismore Castle has a rich and varied history, owned or visited by some of the most notable names of the last few centuries \u2014 Sir Walter Raleigh, Fred Astaire, J.F. Kennedy, John Betjeman, Cecil Beaton, Dominic West, Lucian Freud. Earls, dukes and other royals; soccer stars and rock stars \u2014 the list is almost as long as Lismore\u2019s history.\nThe first owner was the soon-to-be King of England, Prince John, when he built Lismore back in 1185. On becoming monarch, he passed it to the Church to be used as a Bishop\u2019s Palace \u2014 you can still see the old round tower, which dates back to the 13th Century.\nThen Sir Walter Raleigh, the Elizabethan adventurer who introduced tobacco to the English court, bought the castle. But 13 years later he was imprisoned for high treason in the Tower of London, and so Lismore, along with its 42,000 acres, got sold to Richard Boyle for a sum of \u00a31,500. Richard later became the first Earl of Cork, and his son Robert Boyle, who was born at Lismore, became the philosopher that many consider the father of modern chemistry.\nAs time passed, the lands passed to the fourth Duke of Devonshire. This was in 1753, after the Duke married Lady Charlotte Boyle, the heiress of the Earl of Cork. Lismore continues to be owned by the Duke of Devonshire\u2019s family.\nIt was the sixth Duke who undertook the most extensive restoration of the Castle, working with architects Joseph Paxton and Augustus Pugin. It was the ninth Duke who married Adele Astaire, Fred Astaire\u2019s sister. The heir to the tenth Dukedom married Kathleen Kennedy, JFK\u2019s sister. And so the list of names continues.\nEach generation has lovingly and extensively restored the castle, without ever losing its historic charm. For a long time the gates were open only to a select few, but now you can rent the whole castle on an exclusive hire basis, allowing private groups to enjoy staying in a castle in Ireland in an intimate setting, attended to by the Duke\u2019s team of personal staff.\nContact us to find out more for an Irish Castle stay:",

        "raw_content": "Finance April 4, 2018 Wilko van de Kamp\nmoney36 travel59 travelhacking73\nSome of the travel hacking principles in my first Freedom Project book are based on using credit cards and charge cards the right way. As a result...\nSome of the travel hacking principles in my first Freedom Project book are based on using credit cards and charge cards the right way. As a result of implementing my travel hacking principles myself, I\u2019ve been able to explore and travel the world for free, for many years and counting. After reading my book or attending one of my speaking events, some people asked me if I\u2019m not worried about credit card theft or even identity theft. The short answer is absolutely not \u2013 because I\u2019m properly protected.\nBut what exactly is credit card identity theft, and more importantly: how can you prevent it? Identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes in the world, and it\u2019s not going away anytime soon. In this article you\u2019ll learn everything you need to know about credit card identity theft \u2013 as well as how to better protect yourself against it.\nFor credit card identity theft to occur someone does not necessarily have to steal your credit card. Credit card identity theft occurs in one of three ways \u2013 they can physically steal your card, copy the details from your credit card and/or steal your PIN. In the last two cases you may not even realize that something is wrong until it is too late. The thief may have copied down your credit card information while you weren\u2019t looking, or they may have just watched you entering your PIN when you took money from an ATM.\nCredit card identity theft can also occur when someone signs up for a credit card in your name. They will have obtained your personal information (maybe mail stolen out of your postbox) which they can now use to sign up for a new card and start spending on it. When the balance on that card remains outstanding the credit card issuer will initially come after you. You might find yourself in debt that someone else has accumulated on their shopping sprees.\nNo one is ever 100% secure from credit card identity theft. I\u2019ve had my card copied and stolen several times. Luckily I\u2019ve put systems in place to help protect myself, which means I\u2019m ready to take action if anything should occur. Click here for more info on how to protect yourself against identify fraud.\nMost credit card identity theft is happening in stores and restaurants, and not over the internet. Many people feel that giving out your credit card details over the internet is insecure. The question is who do you trust more with your credit card information: a computer specifically designed to deal with such transactions, or a waiter who gets paid minimum wage? This does not mean that you should be careless with your information online, but to also take precautions when you\u2019re shopping in physical stores.\nIn conclusion, identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes in the world. While you can never be 100% secure from being a victim of credit card identity theft, you can put the proper protection in place. Find out more about protecting yourself from identity theft here.\nP.S. If you\u2019re like me and run a business where you\u2019d like to be able to deal with invoicing and accept online payments fast, safe and secure \u2013 check this out.",

Children of all ages beg for this too-cool, all-time favorite purchase at the National Air and Space Museum.

        "raw_content": "The Deputy Programme Director for NHS England\u2019s Diabetes Programme picks out the main messages from the NHS Long Term Plan:\nIt\u2019s been a few weeks now since the NHS Long Term Plan was released and healthcare professionals, managers, partnership organisations, charities and the media alike are still pouring over the detail and what it means for the future of the NHS.\nFor diabetes, the NHS Long Term Plan sets out a range of improvements for those at risk of Type 2 diabetes and living with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes; many of which we have already started to implement with our partners across the health system.\nWhy the focus on diabetes? Because it is a leading cause of premature mortality with over 22,000 additional deaths each year, doubles an individual\u2019s risk of cardiovascular disease and costs over \u00a310 billion every year to manage. There are also significant inequalities present as people from south Asian and black ethnic groups have up to a six-fold greater chance of developing Type 2 diabetes than people from white ethnic groups.\nIf you haven\u2019t made your way through all 136 pages yet, here are the key take home messages concerning diabetes:\nType 2 diabetes prevention continues to be a priority:\nPrevention is at the heart of the NHS Long Term Plan \u2013 because getting better at prevention is essential if the NHS is to be sustainable as a world leading health service. One of the key commitments is to double, to 200,000 people per year, the scale of the NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme which supports those identified at high risk of type 2 diabetes to reduce their risk.\nThe programme is already the largest undertaking of its kind in the world and over 100,000 people have already benefited since its introduction in 2016. In many areas demand has outstripped supply, and it has proven highly effective. More capacity means more people can receive support and delay or hopefully prevent developing Type 2 diabetes. The main observable health inequalities in diabetes relate to who develops diabetes and therefore focusing on prevention, at greater scale forms a key part of our strategy to tackling emerging inequalities.\nAccess to diabetes professionals is crucial for optimum treatment and care:\nOver 2017-18 and 2018-19 we have invested \u00a328.7m of transformation funding in establishing 71 new or expanded multi-disciplinary footcare teams and diabetes inpatient specialist nursing teams. For those who need secondary care support these teams deliver significant improvements to recovery and reduce lengths of stay in hospital.\nThe Long Term Plan takes this further, so that we ensure all hospitals provide access to these services, reducing variation and delivering significant benefits for patients.\nSelf-management has a key role in \u2018upstream prevention\u2019:\nThe NHS Long Term Plan commits to delivering better support for patients, carers and volunteers to enhance \u2018supported self-management\u2019 particularly of long-term health conditions, including diabetes. It describes improving \u2018upstream prevention\u2019 of avoidable illness and its exacerbations. So for example preventing Type 2 diabetes in those at risk \u2013 and for people newly diagnosed with diabetes providing support and education to help them manage their condition well and avoid future complications.\nWe\u2019ve already invested \u00a320.7 million over 2017-18 and 2018-19 to increase access to structured education in 133 CCGs. \u00a32 million has also been made available to implement and evaluate digital delivery models for self-management education for people living with Type 2 diabetes so that we can further boost uptake of services.\nLow calorie diets may be a potential treatment option for Type 2 diabetes:\nMedical research has shown that some people with type 2 diabetes can achieve remission through adoption of low calorie diets. The DiRECT and DROPLET trials have recently published with promising results and the potential to allow some people to stop taking anti-diabetic drugs and still achieve non-diabetic range glucose levels.\nPlans to test an NHS programme supporting low calorie diets for obese people with type 2 diabetes are outlined in the NHS Long Term Plan. We are currently in the early stages of planning and gathering insight from local areas and providers on approaches currently being implemented to inform our pilot approaches.\nIf you have an example of implementing an approach which involves low calorie diets/total diet replacement, please email us at england.diabetestreatment@nhs.net.\nDiabetes prevention, treatment and care is going digital:\nThe Diabetes team has been harnessing the power of digital across its workstreams for a number of years. The Long Term Plan outlines strategies to continue this work including a new digital route of access within the NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme to widen patient choice in particular for working age populations, expanding access to HeLP Diabetes; an online self-management tool for those with type 2 diabetes which NHS England has licenced, and crucially providing patients with type 1 diabetes who meet clinical guidelines access to life changing flash glucose monitors, ending the variation in some parts of England.\nIn addition, by 2020-21, all pregnant women with type 1 diabetes will be offered continuous glucose monitoring, helping to improve neonatal outcomes.\nWith programme partners Public Health England and Diabetes UK and local health economies across England we\u2019ve already delivered a wide range of projects. The NHS Long Term Plan commits us to much more, for the benefit of people at risk of, and living with diabetes.\nYou can read the NHS Long Term Plan in full here.",

        "raw_content": "Telepathy And The Etheric Vehicle SECTION TWO - TEACHING ON THE ETHERIC VEHICLE - Part 3\nIt is essential that servers everywhere\u2014the intelligent men and women of good will\u2014get a grasp, fresh and clear, of the work to be done and that they become \"relaying channels and not delaying points of selfish interest\" in the divine flow. This takes vision and courage. It takes courage to adjust their lives\u2014daily and in all relations\u2014to the need of the hour and to the service of mankind; it takes courage to attack life problems on behalf of others and [196] to obliterate one's own personal wishes in the emergency and need, and to do so consistently and persistently. However, there is much to encourage the server. Humanity has now reached a point in development where there is a definite grasp of the Plan of the Hierarchy\u2014call it brotherhood, sharing, internationalism, unity or what you will. This is a growing and factual apprehension and is a general recognition by the thinkers and esotericists of the world, by the religious people of enlightenment, by broad minded statesmen, by industrialists and business men of inclusive vision and humanitarian insight, and even today by the man in the street. There is also a more definite recognition of emerging spiritual values and a greater readiness to relinquish hindrances to service. The plans of the Christ for humanity's release are more matured, for they had to wait until such time that the trend of human aspiration became more clearly emphatic; and the new era, with its latent possibilities can now be seen upon the horizon, stripped of the veils of glamour and wishful thinking which obscured it ten years ago. All of this is a challenge to the disciple. What is it that he must do?\nThe disciple has to take himself as he is, at any time, with any given equipment, and under any given circumstances; he then proceeds to subordinate himself, his affairs and his time to the need of the hour\u2014particularly during the phase of group, national or world crisis. When he does this within his own consciousness and is, therefore, thinking along lines of the true values, he will discover that his own private affairs are taken care of, his capacities are increased and his limitations are forgotten. He takes his place with those who perceive the needs of the coming cycle\u2014a cycle wherein the new ideas and ideals must be stressed and for which a fight must be made, wherein the wider plans for the good of the whole must be understood, [197] endorsed and preached, the new and clearer vision for human living must be grasped and finally brought into being, and a cycle wherein the effort of all members of the New Group of World Servers must be given to the lifting of humanity's load.\nThere is a certain esoteric Mantram which embodies this attitude\u2014the attitude of the disciple who is striving, in cooperative endeavour with others, to link hierarchical intent with human aspiration and thus bring humanity nearer to its goal. The intent of the Hierarchy is to increase men's capacity for freedom in order to function effectively with that \"life more abundantly\" which the Christ will bring and which demands that the spirit of man be free\u2014free to approach divinity and free also to choose the Way of that approach. The Mantram bears the name, \"The Affirmation of the Disciple.\" It involves certain inner recognitions and acceptances which are readily perceived by those whose intuition is sufficiently awake; but its meaning should not be beyond the ability of any sincere student and thinker to penetrate if it appeals to them as significant and warranting their effort.\nI am a point of sacrificial Fire, focussed within the fiery Will of God.\nI am a source of strength, enabling them to stand.\nAnd standing thus, revolve\n{i} *: Discipleship in the New Age, I.

        "raw_content": "What is Cosmetic Dental Care?\nGenerally speaking, cosmetic dental care is any dental procedure which main objective is the improvement of the dental aesthetics of the patient. Areas treated include the teeth, bite and gum and the procedure could be aimed at correcting color, shape, positioning, size and alignment issues just to name a few. You can get more information through this link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmetic_dentistry\nExamples of Cosmetic Dental Procedures\nThere are different types of cosmetic dental procedures that address different dental issues. Let\u2019s look at some of them.\nThis is one of the more common procedures used to improve the whiteness of the teeth. It is a simple procedure that involves bleaching the teeth to make it whiter.\nThese are procedures used to strengthen the teeth by providing extra support in cases where parts of a tooth are broken and the tooth structure remaining is not sufficient for a filling procedure. This support is provided by inlays and onlays which are made of composite resin material and ensure that further decay is prevented and the shape of the tooth maintained. While inlays will be directly placed on the surface of the tooth being treated, onlays will be used to cover the full surface of the tooth.\nThis is a pretty expensive dental procedure which is probably why it is also called \u201cHollywood teeth\u201d. Its main purpose is to change the color, size, length or shape of a tooth. To achieve this, some part of the tooth\u2019s surface is removed and replaced with a tooth-colored shell which can be made of resin or porcelain. These very thin shells are called dental veneers and they are used to cover the front surface of the teeth.\nThis procedure is used to cover really discolored or badly shaped teeth. It can also be used to replace damaged or decayed tooth. It can restore a tooth\u2019s appearance size, shape and even strength.\nThis is an expensive procedure used to provide a foundation for a replacement tooth. These titanium implants are placed inside the socket from which a tooth is missing thus preparing the position for a replacement tooth. You can read about some of these procedures here.\nWho Needs Cosmetic Dental Care?\nThere are many classes of people who may need this type of dental care. Looking at the types of procedures described above, we can see that anyone who is uncomfortable with the way their teeth look is a prime candidate for this care.\nA study carried out by Puneet Kaur et al in 2017 showed that persons with dental disorders could suffer low self-esteem.\nThe study is published here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5449896/.\nBased on this, it is important that parents and guidance ensure that any persons under their care who may have these kinds of disorders that can lead to a low self-esteem get the treatment they need immediately.\nChoosing a Greenbelt Dentist for Cosmetic Care\nGetting the best dental cosmetic care in Greenbelt begins with choosing the right cosmetic dentist. To help you get this right, we will run through a few tips that you can use as a guide in your search.\nThis is the very first thing you should do. Your dentist should be able to determine if indeed you need cosmetic care or if it is something s/he can handle him or herself. If s/he can\u2019t handle it, s/he should be able to make some recommendations.\nIf for some reason you cannot ask your dentist, then ask your friends and family members if any of them can refer you to a reputable cosmetic dentist.\nAsk to See their Past Work\nIt is normal for cosmetic care givers to display their work proudly. Ask to see some of the past jobs they have done before making your final decision. If you want to see some examples you can look here.\nEnsure the Location is Right\nSome cosmetic procedures may require that you visit the clinic a number of times. Ensure you choose a location that is very convenient for you.\nCheck for Accreditation\u2019s and Affiliations\nMost dentists \u2013 cosmetic or not will usually provide some information regarding their accreditation\u2019s and affiliations on their website. If for example you were to visit johnpowersdmd.com, you will find listed on the site the schools attended, associations and affiliations. This information will help you choose a professional you can trust.\nYour dental insurance will likely not cover cosmetic treatments. This means you will need to choose a dentist who can offer you an acceptable payment plan or at least accept credit card payment depending on the extent of work you need done.\nIt is important that you are confident about how you look. Cosmetic dental care has helped many folks to regain their self-confidence. If you need any form of dental enhancements, the information we have looked at above will help get started with ease.\nCosmeticDental Care",

        "raw_content": "Home Arts and Entertainment In tired horror genre, Pontypool changes everything\nIn tired horror genre, Pontypool changes everything\nOctober is an interesting time in the movie industry, particularly in its relation to the horror genre. The two seem almost mutually exclusive; horror movies are nearly always released in October and nearly all films released in October are horror movies. This exclusivity does not seem to be purely the consequence of seasonal genres either. For example, though December sees an increased rate of Christmas movies, as that is the seasonal genre, they are not the only major releases at that time. Often, we see the premieres of large budgeted \u2013 yet non topically festive \u2013 films in that month, such as Quentin Tarantino\u2019s Django Unchained, Martin Scorsese\u2019s The Wolf of Wall Street and J.J. Abrams\u2019 upcoming Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens. In fact, the highest grossing film on a Christmas Day is Guy Pearce\u2019s 2009 adaptation of Sherlock Holmes starring Robert Downey Jr. No Christmas movie even breaks the top 10 on that list.\nArguably, summer has a similar bond to the action genre, but this too seems to be not as concrete. Yes, many action movies come out in the summer. But so do many films of other upbeat genres. Summer is the ideal season for premiering star-studded comedies like Ted or Pitch Perfect 2, as well as children\u2019s movies like Inside Out and Shrek the Third. Additionally, action is the predominant genre of this cinematic period and many action movies are released outside of the bounds of summer. One only has to look at the examples previously provided of non-Christmas movies released in December to see evidence of this.\nGiven this unique connection between the horror genre and the month of October, it is only natural that movie marathons in this season would have an inclination toward the macabre, especially as All Hallow\u2019s Eve approaches. Curling up in front of a screen with a handful of friends for a night of spooks is an appealingly festive way to spend the holiday.\nThere\u2019s just one problem with that concept: there aren\u2019t many great horror movies.\nHorror fans, allow me a chance to elaborate before erupting into anger-fueled rants. I am not attempting to invalidate your favorite genre. I am merely stating that for most audiences, the current state of horror films leaves a lot to be desired. Genre buffs may be quick to point out old classics: Nosferatu, Night of the Living Dead,Nightmare on Elm Street, The Exorcist; the list goes on and on. These are all fine films, many of which are among my favorites, but for most folks, they do not have the same impact that they might have once had on first release.\nThis is for a couple of different reasons. First and most obvious, many audiences may not be able to get past outdated special effects, thus holding them back from becoming fully engrossed in the film. But another point that might not be as readily apparent is that old horror films are less likely to resonate thematically to the modern viewer. Horror films are often products of their eras, reflecting the anxieties of the times in a gruesome mirror. Unless a viewer can empathize with the morals of an older film or an find a way to apply those morals to the modern day (which can be difficult given the product permanence of the film medium), the experience is likely to fall flat. Again this is a broad generalization, but unless a viewing party is comprised solely of horror buffs or classic cinephiles, these observations are likely to ring true.\nYet contemporary horror flicks do not strike a chord either. When is the last time there was a compelling scary movie in theaters? Ever since Paranormal Activity minimized expenses while maximizing profits, the market has been saturated with found-footage and/or jump-scare movies. This is not to condescend those who find genuine thrill in the jump-scare. To be able to experience that thrill purely from not knowing what comes next is borderline commendable in my view. However, for those who do not have that same ability, the viewing experience can become boring. The dull period between spooky monsters jumping out of nowhere at relatively predictable points does not a compelling film make.\nThere are some smaller horror films, though, that thankfully bring refreshing innovation to the tired genre. A prime example is 2008\u2019s Pontypool, directed by Bruce McDonald. Written by Tony Burgess as an adaptation to his 1995 novel, Pontypool Changes Everything, the film fell under the radar despite much critical praise.\nPontypool is a film so original that it is difficult to describe. Though, at the risk of oversimplifying the concept, the best one sentence summary I can provide for the movie\u2019s premise is this: Pontypool plays like a zombie film as written by a linguistics professor. And given Burgess\u2019 degree in semiotics from the University of Toronto, that description is not too far off. Compounding to that, Burgess graduated in 1995, the same year that he published the novel on which the film is based.\nUnfortunately, Pontypool has not received widespread fame. As one might have guessed from my summary above, the premise of the film is complicated and difficult to market. On top of that, the film was produced independently in Canada on an incredibly small budget. With not much money to spend, and cut off from the power bloc that is Hollywood, Pontypool was left to hang in the nether. However, in recent years the film has been made available on content streaming services such as Netflix, which has allowed the film to find a somewhat larger audience.\nSet in the small, real-life town of Pontypool, Ontario, the movie follows the story of Grant Mazzy, played by Stephen McHattie, a former shock-jock radio DJ whose career has shriveled to the point where he is now only employable to small local stations. As Mazzy arrives to the station early in the morning to begin his daily ritual of trying to push the envelope of rural sensibilities on-air, much to the chagrin of his producer, he begins to receive reports of a large mob raging through the quiet town. Initially believing that he is the victim of a prank, Mazzy soon finds himself in the center of an international news story as the world struggles to understand the mysterious calamity that has befell the otherwise unnotable Canadian town.\nIt is important here to note that though I used the word \u201czombie\u201d earlier, the antagonists of Pontypool are not exactly what come to mind when hearing that term. Even the director of the film has hesitated to use the word in interviews, preferring to describe the creatures with the rather lackluster nomenclature, \u201cconversationalists.\u201d You see, in Pontypool, the virus is not spread through bite nor is it directly comparable to known diseases. In Pontypool, the virus is spread through the understanding of a concept and the English language is infected. That notion is likely confusing, and though I could elaborate, I will allow readers the opportunity to see the film for themselves.\nI would encourage anyone else who is as unsatisfied by most mainstream horror films to give Pontypool a chance. If it strikes your fancy, Burgess has a fine catalogue of novels and has also continued to write film adaptations of his work, such as 2014\u2019s Hellmouth, again starring McHattie. Burgess has also adapted Pontypool for the stage with the script set for an April release. Pontypool is available on DVD, BluRay and Netflix Instant Watch.\nPrevious articleSwimming and diving teams open season\nNext articleNew program levels collegiate playing field",

        "raw_content": "Running on the treadmill, I watched Brothers in Exile. This is the twenty-fourth installment of ESPN's 30 for 30 volume II. An episode guide for Vol II is here. I am still working to catch up on all of the episodes that were released last fall.\nThis 30 for 30 tells the story of half-brothers Livan and Orlando Hernandez. They were both star pitchers for the Cuban National Baseball team who defected to the United States to play major league baseball. In addition to their personal stories, the film looks at the conditions in Cuba following the collapse of the Soviet Empire.\nLivan defected first in 1996. Banking on his status as the hottest young prospect in Cuba, he defected via Mexico and signed with the Florida Marlins. In his second season with the Marlins, Livan was the MVP in the NLCS and the World Series. He went on to pitch in the major leagues for 17 seasons, including four seasons with the San Francisco Giants. Livan was on the 2002 Giants team that made it to the World Series.\nWhen Livan defected, Orlando was banned from professional baseball in Cuba for life; he was suspected of having helped Livan escape. On Christmas 1997, an increasingly frustrated and harassed Orlando left Cuba in a small boat. He was stranded on a deserted island for days before being picked up by the U.S. Coast Guard. Less than a year later, \"El Duque\" was helping pitch the New York Yankees to a world championship in 1998. Orlando went on to pitch in the major leagues for 9 seasons, including making it to the World Series five times with New York Yankees.\nBoth Livan and Orlando appear in the film to tell their stories. Not expecting very much, I was pleasantly surprised by the film; I enjoyed it a great deal.",

Demands to increase speed and lower costs have lead to continued improvements in such assays. Because many reported mycotoxins are low molecular weight (below 1 kDa), immunoassays for their detection have generally been constructed in competitive heterogeneous formats. An exception is fluorescence polarization immunoassay (FPIA), a homogeneous format that does not require the separation of bound and free labels (tracer). The potential for rapid, solution phase, immunoassays has been realized in the development of FPIA for many of the major groups of mycotoxins, including aflatoxins, fumonisins, group B trichothecenes (primarily deoxynivalenol), ochratoxin A, and zearalenone. This review describes the basic principles of FPIA and summarizes recent research in this area with regard to mycotoxins.\nfluorescence polarization immunoassay; mycotoxins; review\nMycotoxins are low molecular weight (less than 1 kDa) toxins produced by fungi in a wide variety of commodities and foods. Several of the mycotoxins are capable of causing diseases in animals and represent a potential hazard for humans as well [1]. Because mycotoxins are relatively small molecules they have generally been detected using competitive, rather than non-competitive, immunoassays. Furthermore, most of the competitive assays are surface-based. That is, they require either a toxin-protein conjugate or an antibody to be immobilized onto a surface (membrane, well, electrode, sensor surface, etc.). This is done to facilitate separation of the bound and unbound forms of the competing reagents. In typical competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) formats the signal developed depends upon the presence of an enzymatic tracer. Generally the tracer is either the toxin that has been labeled with an enzyme (often used in cases where antibody is immobilized) or antibody labeled with an enzyme (in cases where a toxin-protein conjugate is immobilized). The same two configurations have been used in many immunoassays and biosensors. Non-enzymatic labels such as fluorescence, radioisotopes, colloidal gold, etc. have also been used to facilitate detection of the competitive event. Assays of this nature, which require separation of the \u2018free\u2019 and \u2018bound\u2019 tracer are termed heterogeneous and encompass the vast majority of mycotoxin immunoassays. The separation can be achieved in various ways, from chromatographically (as in lateral flow test strips), washing (as in ELISAs), or reagent flow over a surface (as in certain biosensors). The various types of mycotoxin immunoassays were recently reviewed [2], and many mycotoxin immunoassays can be purchased commercially.\nFluorescence polarization immunoassay (FPIA) differs from ELISA in that it is a homogeneous assay conducted in solution phase. Unlike heterogeneous immunoassays, homogeneous assays do not require the separation of the free and bound tracer. This has the potential to be a significant advantage, particularly if it eliminates the need for additional manipulations, such as the washing steps of competitive ELISAs. When a fluorophore in solution is exposed to plane-polarized light at its excitation wavelength the resulting emission is depolarized. The depolarization results from the motion of the fluorophore during the processes of excitation and emission. Because of this, the more rapid the motion of the fluorophore the more the emission is depolarized. The fluorescence emission can be segregated, using polarizers, into horizontal and vertical components, shown schematically in Figure 1.\nFigure 1. Measurement of fluorescence polarization.\nIn its simplest sense the polarization can be expressed as the ratio of the difference in emission in the vertical (IV) and horizontal (IH) planes divided by their sum. That is, where P is the polarization of the emission, P= (IV - IH)/(IV + IH) [3,4]. The polarization is often expressed in polarization units or millipolarization units (mP). An interesting aspect of fluorescence polarization is that P is not dependent upon the absolute intensity of the fluorescence, but rather the relative intensity of the components of that fluorescence. As such, different concentrations of the same fluorophore (with different absolute intensities) can give rise to the same polarization value. Environmental factors that influence the molecular motion of the fluorophore have the potential to influence the polarization. Examples include temperature, viscosity, and the presence of materials that bind to the fluorophore. The latter property is especially important to FPIA.\nAs a relatively large molecule such as an intact IgG (MW approximately 150 kDa) binds to a small fluorophore (less than 1 kDa) the rate of the tumbling motion of the fluorophore is reduced, resulting in an increase in observed polarization. The basis for competitive FPIA is shown in Figure 2. In order to make the assay specific for a toxin, the toxin can be covalently linked to the fluorophore to make a fluorescent tracer [5]. In this case the tracer competes with toxin (from the sample) for a limited amount of toxin-specific antibody. In the absence of toxin the antibody binds the tracer, restricting its motion and causing a high polarization. In the presence of toxin less of the tracer is bound to the antibody and a greater fraction exists unbound in solution, where it has a lower polarization.\nFigure 2. Fluorescence polarization immunoassay.\nWith this format the polarization is inversely related to the toxin concentration. The advantage of this format, relative to a competitive ELISA format, is the lack of a need to separate the free from the bound tracer, potentially improving assay speed. Development of competitive FPIA for mycotoxins requires a fluorescent tracer (usually a fluorescein conjugate of the toxin), a high molecular weight material to bind the toxin (generally an antibody), and an instrument to measure the polarization. Commercial fluorescence polarization instruments are readily available from several manufacturers and include benchtop models, portable models, and microplate readers. The application of FPIA to a wide variety of small molecules was summarized recently by Smith and Eremin [6].\nAssays can be performed in several ways, one of which is shown in Figure 2. A cuvette is filled with dilute antibody solution, a portion of sample extract is added and the fluorescence intensities (IV, IH) of the blank are obtained. The tracer is then added, mixed, and held for a period before re-introducing the cuvette into the instrument to obtain the fluorescence polarization measurement. The holding period, generally ranging from several seconds to several minutes can be an important factor in the assay, as will be discussed further below. FPIA for most of the major mycotoxins have been reported. These are summarized in Table 1.\nTable 1.

FPIA for Mycotoxins\n2.1. Fumonisins\nFumonisins are mycotoxins that have been found in a variety of commodities, including maize. They have been implicated as causative agents in a pulmonary edema syndrome in swine, and in a leukoencephalomalacia syndrome in horses. Fumonisins were also carcinogenic to rodents in laboratory trials. The first reported mycotoxin FPIA application was for fumonisins in maize [7]. Two methods for data collection and analysis were examined. In the first, the fluorescence intensities of samples (IV, IH) were collected before the addition of the tracer and were subsequently used to correct the values obtained after addition of the tracer. In this manner each sample provided its own background correction. Responses from samples were compared relative to a calibration curve in buffer. In the second method, the fluorescence intensities from a buffer solution (rather than each sample) were used to correct for the background fluorescence from the samples. In the latter format the data were transformed to yield a standard curve with the maximum value of 1 and a minimum value of zero. FP data from samples were likewise transformed and used, along with the calibration curve in buffer, to determine the fumonisin content. Excluding extraction steps, the assays took approximately two minutes to complete. Recoveries from maize spiked over the range from 0.5 to 20 \u03bcg FB1/g averaged 94.3% with a relative standard deviation of 14.6%. Both methods were compared to an HPLC method with good agreement for both formats, but slightly better agreement for the first format. Both methods tended to overestimate toxin content at lower levels of contamination. The better performance of the first format may be due to better background correction, as each sample was essentially measured twice (first to provide the background and second after the tracer was added).\n2.2. Aflatoxins\nAflatoxins, because of their potency as carcinogens are of relevance to human and animal health at lower concentrations than many of the other mycotoxins, and the regulatory levels for these toxins in foods and feeds are also lower (ppb level). For this reason assays for these toxins likewise need to detect lower levels. A sensitive FPIA for aflatoxins in naturally contaminated maize, sorghum, peanut paste, and peanut butter was reported [8]. The tracer was an aflatoxin-fluorescein conjugate and the incubation time was 15 min. With aflatoxin standard solutions the midpoint of the inhibition curves (IC50\u2019s) for aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, and G2 were 28, 90, 100, and 100 ng/mL respectively. The assay was compared to an HPLC reference method and showed a good correlation coefficient (r2 = 0.97) for naturally contaminated samples, although there was a bias towards underestimation in (spiked) crushed popcorn.\n2.3. Ochratoxin A (OTA)\nOchratoxins are of interest because of their nephrotoxicity, and have received considerable attention in part because of the wide variety of food sources in which they can be detected. As with the aflatoxins, there is a need to detect OTA at part per billion (ppb) levels, which can make detection by FPIA challenging. FPIA for OTA are summarized in Table 1. Three of the reports used antibodies while one used an OTA-binding aptamer. Shim et al. [9] screened six OTA monoclonal antibodies and selected one for development of a FPIA for testing of barley. The dynamic range was from 5 to 200 ng/mL OTA, with an IC50 of 30 ng/mL. Assay times, exclusive of extraction were reported to be 7 to 10 min. Recoveries from barley spiked at 50, 100, and 500 ng/g were 91, 90, and 97% respectively. The method was tested with 120 naturally contaminated samples of barley. There was some disagreement between the FPIA and ELISA, with generally higher levels obtained by the ELISA method, which the authors suggest may be due to greater matrix interferences with the ELISA. A similar tracer was used in the development of an FPIA for OTA in unpolished rice, with an IC50 in buffer that was ten-fold lower [10]. Recoveries from rice spiked at 10, 50, and 100 ng/g were 108, 90, and 110% respectively. However the FPIA results for naturally contaminated samples were in poor agreement with those observed with an HPLC reference method, with a tendency for FPIA results to be higher. Recently an FPIA method has also been developed to detect OTA in red wine [11]. The wine was treated with methanol and the OTA isolated using a solid phase extraction (SPE) procedure. Assays could be performed in less than 10 min, and recovery from wine spiked with 2 and 5 ng/mL OTA averaged 79%. The FPIA method compared well to an HPLC reference method for 154 samples of naturally contaminated, and spiked, red wines. Lastly, there is also a fluorescence polarization assay for OTA that does not involve the use of antibodies [12]. Technically this is not an immunoassay, although the operational principles are similar to FPIA. In this case the OTA binding material was a single stranded DNA oligonucleotide (aptamer) that was also capable of binding to a fluorescently labeled oligonucleotide (the tracer). The OTA was detected by it\u2019s ability to displace the labeled oligonucleotide from the aptamer. The detection limit for OTA in buffer was 5 nM (approximately 2.0 ng/mL). Neither N-acetylphenylalanine nor warfarin affected the interaction between OTA and the aptamer. The technique was not applied to foods, but does suggest that, in the future, binding materials other than antibodies may also be feasible in fluorescence polarization assays.\n2.4. Deoxynivalenol\nDeoxynivalenol (DON), also know colloquially as \u2018vomitoxin\u2019, is routinely found in cereal grains worldwide and many countries have established guidance levels for this toxin in commodities and foods. Several FPIA have been reported for DON in commodities and food products (Table 1). Initial work focused on development of antibody/tracer combinations in order to reduce assay time and improve reproducibility [13,14]. These two articles described the comparison of combinations of 3 monoclonal antibodies and two tracers: the antibodies each having different cross-reactivity patterns and the tracers having been made with different fluorescein derivatives. The first of these [13] was applied to the detection of DON in naturally contaminated wheat and compared favorably to an HPLC reference method (correlation coefficient r2 = 0.97). However, it was noted that the sensitivity of the assay worsened as the tracer incubation time was lengthened. This effect is shown in Figure 3A. With a tracer incubation of 15 s, the IC50 for the assay was 30 ng/mL, but with an incubation of 10 min this rose to approximately 1,000 ng/mL. Although this has an advantage (the quicker assay is more sensitive) it also has a disadvantage: good control of the length of incubation was needed for good reproducibility. In the second article from the same group [14], a different antibody/tracer combination was used, which resulted in a much more rapid equilibration of the competition reaction. This is illustrated in Figure 3B, where equilibrium was obtained for the assay within 90 s. Although less sensitive than the previous assay, the rapid equilibration helped provide additional robustness to the assay. The rapid equilibration, combined with a rapid (3 min) extraction of DON from wheat or maize yielded a rapid assay (approximately 10 min, including extraction). Recoveries from spiked wheat over the range from 0.5 to 10 \u03bcg/g averaged 71%, compared to 91% by an HPLC reference method. Recoveries from spiked maize averaged 94%. The FPIA and HPLC methods compared favorably for naturally contaminated wheat, although the FPIA had a bias towards overestimation. Studies on the presence of DON analogs (acetylated derivatives and glucuronides) in cereal grains suggest these \u2018masked\u2019 mycotoxins may be present [15]. This may have been a factor, however further studies with the same antibody/tracer combination suggested that the matrix itself can cause overestimation [16]. It seems logical that both factors: cross-reactivity to related toxin analogs and unrelated matrix effects may be able to confound FPIA, as they can with other immunoassays.\nLippolis et al. optimized a FPIA for DON in durum wheat kernels, semolina, and pasta [16]. To address matrix effects the amount of toxin found in contaminated samples was determined after subtracting the amount calculated to be due to the matrix effect. The amount due to the matrix was calculated from a total of 150 measurements encompassing 10 different cultivars of durum wheat. Similar experiments indicated that the matrix effects of semolina and pasta were lower than that of durum wheat. The limit of quantitation was 0.10 \u03bcg DON/g for the three matrices. Samples were spiked over the range from 0.25 to 1.75 \u03bcg/g. Recoveries averaged 98, 102, and 101% from the wheat, semolina, and pasta, respectively. The FPIA was compared to a reference HPLC method for detecting DON in a total of 83 samples, with a good correlation (r > 0.995). The authors suggest the method is suitable for rapid quantitative determination of DON in these products at existing regulatory levels.\nFigure 3.

Figures reprinted by permission of the publishers [13,14].\n2.5. Zearalenone\nZearalenone (ZEN) and several of it\u2019s congeners are estrogenic compounds that are often produced by some of the same species of fungi that produce DON. FPIA were initially described for detection of ZEN and related compounds in maize [17], using a ZEN-fluorescein tracer (Table 1). The method had a limit of detection of 0.1 \u03bcg ZEN/g maize. However, as with the DON assay described above, the response of the assay was related to the length of the tracer incubation. The method compared well to an HPLC reference method, with a correlation coefficient of r2 = 0.976. The same group followed up with an examination of an additional five monoclonal antibodies using a handheld instrument [18]. A total of 6 ZEN congeners were tested for each antibody. These included ZEN, zearalanone (ZAN), \u03b1-zearalenone (\u03b1-ZEOL), \u03b2-zearalenol (\u03b2-ZEOL), \u03b1-zearalanone (\u03b1-ZAOL), and \u03b2-zearalanone (\u03b2-ZAOL). As was the case with DON, marked differences were observed between the antibodies in the kinetics of the competition reaction, most notably in the time for assay equilibration. An optimum assay was obtained using an antibody that rapidly reached equilibrium (2 min), with an IC50 for ZEN of 135 ng/mL of the added standard. Because the volume of standard added to the test mixture (0.02 mL) was low compared to the total volume (1.04 mL), the actual concentration of ZEN in the test solution at the IC50 corresponded to 2.6 ng/mL. The assay showed cross reactivity to: \u03b1-ZAOL (130%), \u03b2-ZAOL (101%), ZAN (75%), \u03b1-ZEOL (67%), and \u03b2-ZEOL (46%), relative to ZEN (100%). The effect of ZEN-fluorescein tracers having different linkages (2, 3, and 6-carbons) between the toxin and the fluorophore were examined by Chun et al. [19]. In that report the tracer with the longest bridge was chosen for use in a FPIA for corn. Assays, excluding the extraction step, took less than 2 min per sample. The detection limit was 137 \u03bcg/kg, with a detection range of 150 to 1000 \u03bcg/kg. Recovery from corn spiked over the range from 50 to 100 \u03bcg/kg averaged 106.4 \u00b1 12.5%. When compared to a reference HPLC method the coefficient of determination (r2) between FPIA and the HPLC method was 0.72 for 70 naturally contaminated cereal products.\n3. Matrix Effects and Data Treatment\nThe mycotoxin FPIAs described above have dealt with the presence of matrix effects in various ways. Generally matrix effects in immunoassays can be controlled either through dilution, cleanup, matrix matched calibration curves, or data normalization. The simplest of these, dilution of the sample extract, is usually the method of choice provided the FPIA is of sufficient sensitivity that the additional dilution does not adversely affect the operating range of the assay. Cleanup and/or concentration of sample extracts are usually not as desirable, because this eliminates two of the primary advantages of FPIA: speed and simplicity. It also incurs additional costs. However, for difficult matrices or assays requiring high sensitivity it remains an option. Matrix matching can be accomplished by preparing the calibration standards in extract from a \u2018toxin-free\u2019 sample [19]. The underlying assumption with matrix matching is that the matrix of the toxin-free sample is a good mimic for the matrix that will be tested. The same assumption can be used in various forms of data normalization.\nNormalization can take several forms. For ELISAs data is typically normalized to allow the comparison of the relative color development (absorbance) between assays conducted on different microtiter plates, or on different days. In this case the minimum color development for ELISAs is \u20180\u2019 (no color), so the normalization is simple: take the observed absorbance and divide by the absorbance maximum and multiply by 100%. Another form of normalization, discussed above for DON in wheat products is the subtraction of the amount of \u2018toxin\u2019 found in a control (toxin-free) sample from that found in the unknown sample [16]. This assumes that the matrix effect is constant and not associated with the amount of toxin present. A third form of normalization is to treat the data so as to render their representation linear, for example using a logit-log treatment [19].\nFor FPIA the minimum signal (having no antibody present) is not zero, but rather the signal of the tracer in the absence of antibody. For many fluorescein-based tracers this typically is around 35 to 50 mP. For this reason the normalization should accommodate changes in the lower, as well as the upper, ends of the signal range. For FPIA the lower end of the signal range is that of the tracer alone (P0) and the maximum end of the signal range is that of the tracer in the presence of the antibody and absence of the toxin (P1). This is best described schematically, as shown in Figure 4. Data falling between the maximum (P1) and minimum (P0) values can be normalized by the equation Yobs = (Pobs - P0)/(P1 - P0), where Yobs is the normalized polarization of the test sample and Pobs is the observed polarization of the test sample (7). This treatment is useful, because matrix effects in FPIA often cause a decrease in the signal range, characterized by both a rise in the minimum polarization and a fall in the maximum polarization (Figure 4a). The signal from sample in a matrix can be normalized to accommodate for the decrease in signal range caused by the presence of the matrix as follows. First, the data for standards in buffer can be collected and normalized using the equation above, so that they are scaled in the range between 0 and 1. Next the analyst can collect a minimum polarization value (P0\u2019) by measuring the response of the tracer alone (in matrix lacking toxin), and collect a maximum polarization value (P1\u2019) by measuring the response of tracer in the presence of antibody in the same matrix. Next, samples containing unknown levels of toxin can be tested and normalized by the equation Yobs\u2019= (Pobs\u2019 - P0\u2019)/(P1\u2019 - P0\u2019), where Yobs\u2019 is the normalized polarization of the test sample and Pobs\u2019 is the observed polarization of the test sample. By scaling both the standards (in buffer) and samples (in matrix) to the same range (0 to 1) the calibration curve for the standards in buffer can be used to calculate the toxin content of the samples. The effect of this data treatment is seen in Figure 4b. It is apparent that scaling the data can reduce the magnitude of the matrix effect, but does not altogether eliminate it, as evidenced by the disparity between the two curves at higher DON levels in Figure 4b. Care must be used, however, because this treatment is based upon the assumption that the matrix effect from the unknown samples is similar to that of the blank matrix. As such it should be used only when the analyst can normalize against a blank matrix of similar composition to that expected from the samples.\nFigure 4. Representation of matrix effects for a DON FPIA.\nThe number of applications of FPIA to mycotoxin analysis continues to grow. The benefits of FPIA include the elimination of steps to separate bound and free labels, giving the potential for very rapid immunoassays. The reported FPIA are indeed rapid, with most taking from 2 to 15 min to complete. Important assay parameters such as speed and sensitivity are dependent upon not only the quality of the antibody and tracer used, but also upon how they interact in competition with the toxin. Selection of the appropriate antibody and tracer combination can yield rapid and sensitive mycotoxin assays. Although sometimes touted as being free from matrix effects, it is apparent that FPIA, as with other immunoassays, can be affected by the sample matrix. Apart from using the most sensitive antibody and tracer combination available, matrix effects can be controlled using a number of established procedures ranging from simple dilution to matrix-matched calibration. Many of the aforementioned mycotoxin FPIA have been tested and compared favorably to HPLC reference methods, supporting the contention that they may be useful quantitative screening assays. Several existing FPIA instruments are field portable. However, the solution-based nature of the FPIA suggests that, at least in this regard, they may be less easy to use in field settings than lateral flow devices, many of which do not require sequential addition of reagents. Although the FPIA are very simple assays, the logical progression for the technology will be automation of the assay steps to further improve ease of use and reduce operator-associated variablity.\nFigure 3A reproduced by permission of Taylor & Francis.

        "raw_content": "You are here: Home / What is Mediation & Commercial Mediation / The Benefits of using a Mediator in the Mediation of Conflicts & Disputes\nThe Benefits of using a Mediator in the Mediation of Conflicts & Disputes\nSignificantly Reduced Costs\nCosts incurred in Mediation are a fraction of those involved in litigation. Both in monetary and personal terms, mediation is inexpensive compared to proceeding to a court hearing.\nSignificantly Shorter Time Frame\nMediation can be scheduled within a very short timeframe: it can be soon after a dispute arises or at any time throughout an on-going dispute; and, following the pre-mediation processes and agreements, can often be concluded in a single day. This reduces the time from start of dispute to settlement significantly.\nMediation is an interest-driven process based on consensus and collaborative agreement. Mediation helps the parties to communicate with each other, either directly and/or through the Mediator, to explore the issues which are of real importance to them \u2013 rather than necessarily focusing on their respective \u2018rights\u2019. The parties are encouraged to find ways to address their present and future needs, rather than dwell upon who may have been right or wrong in the past.\nAs the process of mediation is based on mutual agreement, the mediator does not impose a decision, nor make any kind of judgment \u2013 unlike court or arbitration, the mediator helps the parties to find their own, mutually acceptable, solution.\nParties Always in Control\nMediation belongs to the Parties. The parties to a dispute remain in control of the outcome and of any potential resolutions as well as having the right to end the mediation at any time should the process reach stalemate.\nHelps to Preserve Relationships\nMediation works towards long-term solutions for the Parties in dispute, and where there is an ongoing relationship places significant emphasis on how they will interact in the future.\nThe confidential nature of mediation allows the Parties to negotiate freely and productively without fear of publicity. All those participating in a mediation are protected by a confidentiality agreement which is signed by all parties and witnesses before the mediation begins. Issues discussed between a party and the mediator will not be disclosed to the other party, except by agreement.\nMediation is \u201cWithout prejudice\u201d\nThe mediation process is \u2018without prejudice\u2019 so that on the rare occasion that a settlement is not reached litigation may continue without the parties needing to worry about having \u2018given away\u2019 anything that the other could use \u2018against\u2019 them or in court. All notes and documents that are in the possession of the mediator are destroyed at the end of the mediation, in the presence of the parties. As part of the mediation agreement it is agreed that the mediator cannot appear as a witness for either party in the event of any future court proceedings.\nAlways Leaves Other Options Open\nEngagement in a mediated intervention does not preclude participation in a different dispute resolution process. If an agreement is reached, parties should be made aware that the agreement can be made legally binding, but can also be used to formulate resolutions that do not need legal documentation. If the mediation fails to result in a comprehensive solution on the day, the process of mediation invariably provides insights and understandings \u2013 even partial agreements \u2013 which may encourage and support continued negotiation after the mediation.\nPromotes use of Creative Solutions\nMediation allows for creative solutions which may not be available in other court based approaches.\nSettlement potential is high and there are benefits to participating in the process for all.",

        "raw_content": "Home / Medical News / New strategies may improve performance of CAR-T cell therapy in treating cancer\n\u201cWhile CAR-T cell therapy has proven successful in treating certain cancers, severe toxicities have limited its widespread application,\u201d says Rosalie Sterner, an M.D.-Ph.D. student working in the T Cell Engineering Laboratory of Saad Kenderian, M.B. Ch.B., a Mayo Clinic hematologist. Sterner says toxicities associated with CAR-T cell therapy include cytokine release syndrome, in which patients can experience fever, nausea, headache, rash, rapid heartbeat, low blood pressure, and difficulty breathing and neurotoxicity.\n\u201cWhen we blocked the GM-CSF protein, we found that we could reduce toxicities in preclinical models, says Sterner. \u201cWe also were able to demonstrate that CAR-T cells worked better after the GM-CSF protein was blocked.\u201d\n\u201cIn CAR-T cell therapy, physicians remove and modify a patient\u2019s T cells to recognize and fight cancer,\u201d says Reona Sakemura, M.D., Ph.D., a hematologist and a postdoctoral fellow in Dr. Kenderian\u2019s laboratory. \u201cOnce modified T cells are reinfused into the patient where they seek out and ultimately kill cancer cells.\u201d\nTo improve the effectiveness of CAR-T cell therapy in these cancers, Dr. Sakemura and his colleagues developed a strategy to combine CAR-T cell therapy with a drug that targets a protein called \u201cAXL.\u201d This protein is present on the cancer and within the cancer\u2019s environment.

        "title": "Do black and white physicians earn the same?",
        "raw_content": "Do black and white physicians earn the same?\nResearch, published this week in The BMJ, unearths racial and sexual disparity in the paychecks of physicians. Even after controlling for a number of variables, the gulf between income remained significant.\nIf a pay gap still exists, what are the reasons?\nHistorically, women and black people in the United States have been paid less than their white, male counterparts.\nThis gap has been observed across a number of professions, but little research has been done to examine this difference within physicians.\nIn 2011, the average household income for non-Hispanic whites was $76,063 and, for black people, it was $47,255.\nThere are an array of reasons for this gap in income, but physicians represent a more homogenous group of individuals. For instance, one reason for the difference in pay between races is education level. For physicians, this factor is removed.\nPrevious studies investigating racial differences in physicians' pay have been small-scale and reliant on relatively old data. On the other hand, the differences in pay between genders has been more thoroughly investigated.\nA number of studies have shown that female physicians in America earn less than males. Similar studies have shown this to be the case in other countries of the world, including the United Kingdom.\nRace and pay in healthcare\nThe current study, led by Ruth L. Newhouse, associate professor at Harvard Medical School in Boston, MA, is the first to take a deeper look at the pay differences associated with race among physicians; the team also used the data to assess current gender-based differences in income.\nThe researchers used data from the 2000-2013 American Community Survey (ACS) and the 2000-2008 Center for Studying Health System Change (HSC) physician survey - both of which include data from across the U.S.\nThe authors summarize their findings like so:\n\"We found substantial differences in annual income between black and white male physicians in the U.S., and between male and female physicians overall.\"\nThe ACS included data from 43,213 white men, 1,698 black men, 15,164 white women, and 1,252 black women. The HSC used information from 12,843 white male physicians, 518 black male physicians, 3,880 white female physicians, and 342 black female physicians.\nThe data was adjusted for factors that included specialty, age, hours worked, percentage of revenue from social insurance schemes, and years practicing.\nAfter controlling for potentially confounding variables, the researchers found that white male physicians, as a group, had the highest median income. The ACS survey showed that white male physicians earned $253,042, and black male physicians earned $188,230.\nEarlier research has found a difference between the salary of white and black female physicians. However, in the current study, the difference was not as marked as it was between their male counterparts.\nWhite females received a median of $163,234, compared with $152,784 for black females - a less substantial but not insignificant difference. It is also worth noting that females, as a whole, still earned substantially less than the male group.\nThe reasons for the pay gap are difficult to understand. Some of the gap could be attributed to black physicians working for Medicaid and Medicare patients more often, where income is likely to be lower. However, when this factor was controlled for, the gap was still seen, so this is not the full answer.\nAnother potential explanation for the difference might be that black physicians see fewer patients, but when the team adjusted for hours worked, the effect remained.\nOne reason for the disparity might be a subspecialty split. Although the results were controlled for specialty, subspecialty was not investigated. For instance, cardiologists, on average, might earn more than some specialties and less than others.\nHowever, cardiology itself can be further split into other categories, including preventative cardiology and electrophysiology. It could potentially be that black physicians within each specialty do not have the same opportunities to progress to the highest earning subspecialties.\nAs with any observational study, conclusions about cause and effect can not be drawn. The researchers argue that sex- and race-based disparities can not be removed by simply opening up opportunities for women and minorities. They say that \"efforts to eliminate these disparities might need to look beyond medical school admissions and training to the broader workplace.\"\nThe authors close their paper with a call for further studies to achieve a deeper understanding of how these differences develop. It is only by amassing the numbers behind the disparities that change can be brought about.\nLearn more about the pay gap between male and female nurses.\nWhy are African Americans more likely to develop Alzheimer's?

        "title": "Fibula fracture: Symptoms, treatment, and recovery",
        "raw_content": "Fibula fracture: Symptoms, treatment, and recovery\nLast reviewed\t Thu 2 February 2017\t Last reviewed\tThu 2 Feb 2017\nThe fibula and tibia are the two long bones of the lower leg. The fibula, or calf bone, is a small bone located on the outside of the leg. The tibia, or shinbone, is the weight-bearing bone and is in the inside of the lower leg.\nThe fibula and the tibia join together at the knee and ankle joints. The two bones help to stabilize and support the ankle and lower leg muscles.\nA fibula fracture is used to describe a break in the fibula bone. A forceful impact, such as landing after a high jump or any impact to the outer aspect of the leg, can cause a fracture. Even rolling or spraining an ankle puts stress on the fibula bone, which can lead to a fracture.\nTypes of fibula fracture\nFibula fractures can happen at any point on the bone and can vary in severity and type. Types of fibula fracture include the following:\nThe fibula bone is the smaller of the two leg bones and is sometimes called the calf bone.\nLateral malleolus fractures occur when the fibula is fractured at the ankle\nFibular head fractures occur at the upper end of the fibula at the knee\nAvulsion fractures happen when a small chunk of bone that is attached to a tendon or ligament is pulled away from the main part of the bone\nStress fractures describe a situation where the fibula is injured as the result of repetitive stress, such as running or hiking\nFibular shaft fractures occur in the mid-portion of the fibula after an injury such as a direct blow to the area\nA fibula fracture can be due to many different injuries. It is commonly associated with a rolled ankle but can also be due to an awkward landing, a fall, or a direct blow to the outer lower leg or ankle.\nFibula fractures are common in sports, especially those that involve running, jumping, or quick changes of direction such as football, basketball, and soccer.\nPain, swelling, and tenderness are some of the most common signs and symptoms of a fractured fibula. Other signs and symptoms include:\nInability to bear weight on the injured leg\nBleeding and bruising in the leg\nVisible deformity\nNumbness and coldness in the foot\nPeople who have injured their leg and are experiencing any of the symptoms should consult a doctor for a diagnosis. The following steps occur during the diagnosis process:\nPhysical examination: A thorough examination will be conducted and the doctor will look for any noticeable deformities\nX-ray: These are used to see the fracture and see if a bone has been displaced\nMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI): This type of test provides a more detailed scan and can generate detailed pictures of the interior bones and soft tissues\nBone scans, computerized tomography (CT), and other tests may be ordered to make a more precise diagnosis and judge the severity of the fibula fracture.\nTreatment for a fibula fracture can vary and depends greatly on how severe the break is. A fracture is classified as open or closed.\nOpen fracture (compound fracture)\nSimple and compound fibula fractures are classified depending on whether the skin has been broken or the bone is exposed.\nIn an open fracture, either the bone pokes through the skin and can be seen or a deep wound exposes the bone through the skin.\nOpen fractures are often the result of a high-energy trauma or direct blow, such as a fall or motor vehicle collision. This type of fracture can also occur indirectly such as with a high-energy twisting type of injury.\nThe force required to cause these types of fractures means that patients will often receive additional injuries. Some injuries could be potentially life-threatening.\nAccording to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, there is a 40 to 70 percent rate of associated trauma elsewhere within the body.\nDoctors will treat open fibula fractures immediately and look for any other injuries. Antibiotics will be administered to prevent infection. A tetanus shot will also be given if necessary.\nThe wound will be cleaned thoroughly, examined, stabilized, and then covered so that it can heal. An open reduction and internal fixation with plate and screws may be necessary to stabilize the fracture. If the bones are not uniting, a bone graft may be necessary to promote healing.\nClosed fracture (simple fracture)\nIn a closed fracture, the bone is broken, but the skin remains intact\nThe goal of treating closed fractures is to put the bone back in place, control the pain, give the fracture time to heal, prevent complications, and restore normal function. Treatment begins with the elevation of the leg. Ice is used to relieve the pain and reduce swelling.\nIf no surgery is needed, crutches are used for mobility and a brace, cast, or walking boot is recommended while healing takes place. Once the area has healed, individuals can stretch and strengthen weakened joints with the help of a physical therapist.\nThere are two main types of surgery if a patient requires them:\nClosed reduction involves realigning the bone back to its original position without the need to make an incision at the fracture site\nOpen reduction and internal fixation realigns the fractured bone to its original position using hardware such as plates, screws, and rods\nThe ankle will be placed into a cast or fracture boot until the healing process is complete.\nAfter being in a cast or splint for several weeks, most people find that their leg is weak and their joints stiff. Most patients will require some physical rehabilitation to make sure their leg regains full strength and flexibility.\nSome physical therapy may be required to regain full strength in a person's leg.\nA physical therapist will evaluate each person individually to determine the best treatment plan. The therapist may take several measurements to judge the individual's condition. Measurements include:\nSurgical scar tissue assessment\nHow the patient walks and bears weight\nPhysical therapy usually begins with ankle strengthening and mobility exercises. Once the patient is strong enough to put weight on the injured area, walking and stepping exercises are common. Balance is a vital part of regaining the ability to walk unassisted. Wobble board exercises are a great way to work on balance.\nMany people are given exercises that they can do at home to further help with the healing process.\nProper treatment and rehabilitation supervised by a doctor increases the chance the person will regain full strength and motion. To prevent fibula fractures in the future, individuals who participate in high-risk sports should wear the appropriate safety equipment.\nPeople can reduce their fracture risk by:\nWearing appropriate footwear\nFollowing a diet full of calcium-rich foods such as milk, yogurt, and cheese to help build bone strength\nDoing weight-bearing exercises to help strengthen bones\nFractured fibulas typically heal with no further problems, but the following complications are possible:\nAbnormal deformity or permanent disability of the ankle\nPermanent damage to the nerve and blood vessels around the ankle joint\nAbnormal pressure buildup within the muscles around the ankle\nChronic swelling of the extremity\nMost fractures of the fibula do not have any serious complications. Within a few weeks to several months, most patients make a full recovery and can continue their normal activities.\nHow to prevent and treat knee injuries The knee is the largest and most complex joint in the body, holding together the thigh bone, shin bone, fibula (on the outer side of the shin), and kneecap. It is also one of the joints that is most vulnerable to injury. In this article, we look at ways in which people can prevent and treat knee injuries. Read now\nWhat causes knee buckling? Knee buckling is common and can signify injury or an underlying condition. It can affect people of all ages and levels of fitness. It is often possible to treat it at home or with physical therapy. Here, we explore the causes of knee buckling. We also cover exercises that can help, treatment, and when to see a doctor.

        "title": "New drug target could change chronic pain medication",
        "raw_content": "New drug target could change chronic pain medication\nNew research has uncovered a target for chronic and pathologic pain, which could lead to better drugs for those affected by pain in the future.\nA new study has identified a new drug target that could change chronic pain medication going forward.\nChronic pain is \"the most common cause of long-term disability,\" according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH).\nIn fact, a recent analysis from the NIH estimates that more than 25 million people in the United States (or over 11 percent of the country's adult population) live with chronic pain. This means that they have experienced pain every day for the past 3 months.\nWhile in some cases chronic pain may have been initially triggered by an incident such as an injury or an infection, most of the time, the cause of chronic pain is unknown.\nBecause its causes remain largely unknown, chronic pain cannot yet be cured. However, drugs usually help, and researchers are hard at work trying to come up with more effective treatments.\nNow, a new study - published in the journal PLOS Biology - has identified a potential novel therapeutic target for chronic pain, which could help researchers to develop an alternative medication to treat pain in the near future.\nThe team was led by Dr. Matthew Dalva, of the Department of Neuroscience at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, PA. He and his team have investigated a process called phosphorylation and its impact on how chronic pain occurs and what sensations it triggers.\nPhosphorylation is a term that describes a common biological process whereby a protein changes in response to external stimuli.\nIdentifying a new pain receptor\nPrevious research has identified a pain receptor called N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) and the fact that it plays a key role in pathologic pain.\nHowever, this receptor is also important in memory and learning, so drugs that would target this receptor would also affect these functions.\nBut in the new study, Dr. Dalva and colleagues identified a second receptor that also plays a crucial role in pain. In their study, the scientists examined neurons in particular.\nNew form of CBT may help with chronic pain management\nCould a form of cognitive behavioral therapy called acceptance and commitment therapy help with the management of chronic pain?\nSpecifically, by conducting a series of laboratory tests in cell cultures and in vivo, the team were able to see that, in response to injury-induced pain, the protein ephrin B modifies outside of the brain cell. This phosphorylation outside of the cell allows the ephrin B receptor to attach to the NMDA receptor, moving it into the synapses.\nThis process alters the function of the NMDA receptor, which leads to higher sensitivity to pain.\nAs the authors explain, pathologic pain differs from pain caused by an injury or inflammation because it is a result of cellular dysfunction.\nBecause pain occurs at the cellular level, it does not go away even after the initial cause has gone - as is the case with chronic pain or the common migraine.\nFor a cell to function properly, proteins must be in the right location. But what the new study shows is that in the case of chronic pain, the so-called process of phosphorylation \"moves\" the proteins away from the neuron, thus triggering cell dysfunction and pathologic pain.\nImportantly, using a mouse model, the scientists were also able to test some chemicals that managed to block the unwanted synergy between the ephrin B receptor and the NMDA receptor.\nInterrupting this communication between the two receptors stopped the pain. And conversely, bringing the two receptors together led to an excessive sensitivity to pain.\nThe senior author of the study comments on the significance of the findings, saying, \"Because the protein modification that initiates nerve sensitivity to pain occurs outside of the cell, it offers us an easier target for drug development. This is a promising advance in the field of pain management.\"\n\"Although we have yet to discover the exact mechanism that causes this modification [...] this finding offers both a target for developing new treatments and a strong new tool for studying synapses in general.\"\nDr. Matthew Dalva\nLower back pain may all be in the mind, study suggests Feelings of stiffness in the lower back may simply be the brain's way of protecting us from future injuries, new research suggests.

        "raw_content": "Psoriasis and stress: What's the link?\nLast reviewed\t Mon 20 November 2017\t Last reviewed\tMon 20 Nov 2017\nHow does stress trigger psoriasis?\nHow to manage psoriasis triggers\nPsoriasis and mental health\nPsoriasis is a long-term, itchy, and uncomfortable skin condition that is linked to stress in several ways. Not only can stress trigger psoriasis flare-ups, but living with psoriasis can have a detrimental effect on a person's overall mental health.\nWhen a person has psoriasis, their immune system causes too many skin cells to be produced. These cells build up in red patches covered with silvery scales. Psoriasis can also cause inflammation throughout the body.\nThis article explores the relationship between psoriasis and stress and considers how people with psoriasis can manage their triggers.\nPsychological stress has been linked to physical inflammation in the body, which may make conditions like psoriasis worse.\nDoctors know that a problem with the immune system causes the excessive growth of skin cells that is characteristic of psoriasis. However, the underlying causes of this immune response are not yet understood.\nPsoriasis is a long-term condition and does not currently have a cure.\nPsychological stress can trigger flare-ups. When a person experiences reduced stress levels, their skin tends to improve as well.\nA 2013 review notes that 68 percent of adults with psoriasis experience flare-ups after stressful incidents.\nScientists do not know precisely why stress makes psoriasis worse, but they believe it relates to the effect that stress has on inflammation.\nA 2014 study notes that stress factors can increase the immune system response involved in inflammation.\nThis means that being under psychological stress can lead to physical inflammation in the body. In turn, increased inflammation may make psoriasis symptoms worse.\nThis 2013 study also suggests that the increase in inflammatory cells that results from stress aggravates the symptoms of psoriasis.\nAdditionally, one study found that women with depression were at a higher risk of developing psoriasis.\nWhile researchers are still exploring the relationship between depression and inflammation, their connection may be influential in future psoriasis treatments.\nTai chi, yoga, meditation, and mindfulness may help to ease psychological stress, and ease the symptoms of psoriasis.\nWhile avoiding stress is not always possible, much can be done to reduce the effects it has on a person's body and mind.\nThe following activities may help reduce the impact stress has on a person with psoriasis and make flare-ups less likely:\nExercise: Even just a brisk walk can help release endorphins. These happy chemicals can help reduce stress and promote a sense of wellbeing.\nYoga, meditation, and mindfulness: All three of these activities can help reduce stress and anxiety. Yoga is particularly beneficial as it is a physical form of meditation. This means it has the added stress-relieving benefit of releasing endorphins in the same way as other forms of exercise do.\nTai chi: This is another physical exercise that incorporates mindfulness. It involves slow, deliberate movements that are guided by breath, which may help to reduce stress levels.\nMassage: Having a massage can help reduce stress and muscle tension, as well as promote a sense of wellbeing.\nAvoiding smoking or drinking too much alcohol and eating a healthful, balanced diet can also be beneficial to stress management.\nSometimes, however, it is hard to manage stress levels despite making lifestyle changes. If a person is finding stress hard to manage, a doctor may refer them to see a specialist to help.\nA 2016 study suggests early referral access to psychological intervention may be an important way to help manage psoriasis.\nSoap for psoriasis: All you need to know\nUsing the right soap for psoriasis can prevent further irritation, help the patches heal more quickly, and possibly even treat psoriasis. Learn more.\nPsoriasis may not only cause physical discomfort, it may also affect self-esteem.\nStress may trigger psoriasis flare-ups, and the impact the flare-ups have may take a toll on a person's mental health. This can result in a vicious circle of stress and psoriasis flare-ups.\nPsoriasis is a long-term condition that can be itchy, painful, and cause a lot of discomfort. It may also be visible and cause a person to feel unhappy or uncomfortable about the way they look.\nThe combined effects of physical discomfort and self-consciousness may have a profound impact on a person's mental wellbeing.\nA study in 2015 found chronic stress to have a significant influence on the health-related quality of life in people with psoriasis.\nCognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) has been found to be effective in helping those people with psoriasis who are experiencing mental health problems as a result of their condition.\nWhile psoriasis is a long-term skin condition, there are some treatments available to help manage its symptoms. These include light therapy and topical medications.\nStress is a trigger for psoriasis flare-ups because of how it relates to the immune system and inflammation. Engaging in activities that help manage stress can help people with psoriasis reduce flare-ups.\nUnderstanding how to reduce the impact of triggers, such as stress, can reduce the negative impact psoriasis may have on a person's life. Following a psoriasis treatment plan as advised by a doctor may also help keep symptoms under control.\nIf a person has psoriasis and is experiencing anxiety or depression, they should speak to a doctor. A doctor can refer them to a specialist who may offer CBT or similar therapies.\nIs the sun good or bad for psoriasis? People with psoriasis may notice that their symptoms tend to get better in the summer, when they are more exposed to the sun. This could be due to the effect of UV rays and vitamin D. PUVA therapy may be one way to treat psoriasis with beneficial UV rays. Any UV or sun exposure should be done safely. Find out more.

        "raw_content": "Doctors warn common food allergy tests may not identify all cases in children\nResearchers in Southampton have called on healthcare professionals not to rule out food allergies in children based on blood or skin prick tests alone.\nDr Kate Grimshaw, a specialist paediatric dietitian at Southampton Children's Hospital, warned that not all allergies could be detected purely by measuring levels of a protein in the blood - immunoglobulin E (IgE) - which is linked to allergic reactions.\nShe spoke out following new research into cow's milk allergy, published online by the medical journal Allergy, which found that for every UK child who had a cow's milk reaction due to IgE in their blood, there was a child who suffered a reaction who did not.\n\"We know that sometimes if a child is seen for a possible food allergic reaction - to any food, not just milk - but tests show there is no measurable IgE, then a possible food reaction may be ruled out when in fact the child may be reacting to the food, just not via IgE,\" explained Dr Grimshaw, who was involved in the research alongside colleagues from eight other European countries via a European Union-funded project known as EuroPrevall.\n\"This research will hopefully highlight to GPs and non-allergy specialists that just because an IgE test is negative, the child may in fact be reacting to a food and further investigations should be carried out.\"\nFood allergy reactions are split into two groups, IgE-mediated, which cause a range of immediate symptoms such as skin rashes, vomiting, respiratory issues and, in some cases, potentially life-threatening reactions, and non-IgE mediated.\nNon-IgE mediated reactions occur around four to 28 hours after an incident and may cause stomach complaints such as diarrhoea or constipation among other problems.\nThe study, which saw more than 9,000 babies from nine European countries followed up until the age of two, found that 1.3% of UK children reacted to milk within two hours - the highest rate of all the countries involved - but only just under half (45%) had IgE at a level likely to cause symptoms.\nDr Grimshaw, who is also a senior research fellow at the University of Southampton, added: \"At present, when an IgE test is negative, non-allergy experts may just think the condition doesn't exist or is not serious enough to worry about and that is something we need to address.\n\"Reactions that don't involve IgE are often referred to as intolerances, which implies the condition may not be serious but children may actually be suffering a different type of allergic reaction that can still be extremely serious.\"\nProfessor Graham Roberts, a consultant in paediatric allergy and respiratory medicine at Southampton Children's Hospital and principal investigator for the UK study, said: \"Our study shows that a significant number of children can be reacting to a food despite having a negative IgE test.\n\"The take-away message for any non-allergy specialist is, if the patient's history is convincing, then further investigations should be made if IgE tests are negative to ensure the child isn't actually reacting to a food.\"\nThe research, funded in the UK by the Food Standards Agency, was part of a project locally called Prevalence of Infant Food Allergy (PIFA), which assessed the development of food allergies in children in Hampshire in the first two years of life.\nDr Grimshaw and Professor Roberts now plan to reassess all 1,140 children who participated in that research at school-age to discover what happens to allergies that started in early childhood and find out which older children develop allergies and asthma.\nFood Intolerance Pediatrics / Children's Health\nIncidence and natural history of challenge-proven cow's milk allergy in European children - EuroPrevall birth cohort, A.

        "raw_content": "Antihypertensive effect of fermented milk products under the microscope\nPotential health benefits of functional foods based on new lactic acid bacteria offer opportunities for food developers, report investigators in the Journal of Dairy Science.\nOver the past decade, interest has been rising in fermented dairy foods that promote health and could potentially prevent diseases such as hypertension (high blood pressure). Functional dairy products that lower blood pressure and heart rate may offer consumers an effective alternative to antihypertensive drugs if their effectiveness can be demonstrated. Investigators reporting in the Journal of Dairy Science review the scientific basis of reported claims and identify opportunities for developing products based on new lactic acid bacteria.\nHypertension affects more than one billion people throughout the world, according to the World Health Organization. It is an important risk factor for developing other cardiovascular diseases, stroke, renal failure, cerebrovascular accidents, and many other medical complications. Although hypertension can be treated with drugs, these often involve significant side effects. Scientists are therefore seeking out food substances that can help reduce or prevent hypertension.\n\"Fermented milk has been promoted as a nonpharmacological treatment for hypertension, mainly because of the lack of undesirable side effects, but as yet, there is insufficient evidence to support this according to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA),\" explained lead investigator Belinda Vallejo-C\u00f3rdoba, PhD, of the Center for Food Research and Development, Sonora, Mexico. \"The most studied bioactive peptides derived from dairy proteins are antihypertensive peptides; however, existing studies need to be evaluated before a health claim may be associated with products. With this in mind we have carefully reviewed in vitro and in vivo and clinical studies of fermented milk containing antihypertensive peptides.\"\nThe team of investigators established that the most common strategy to select fermented milks with antihypertensive potential was to identify angiotensin-converting-enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptides by in vitro studies. However, they observed that some strains inhibiting ACE activity in vitro did not reduce blood pressure in rats. They evaluated 13 studies with spontaneously hypertensive rats and seven randomized controlled clinical trials in which an antihypertensive effect was demonstrated. Most were based on Lactobacillus helveticus.\nScientifically proven health claims and acquisition of exclusivity rights of using novel food ingredients in functional food products has been observed as a critical factor in ultimate success of these food products in the market. The investigators note that several fermented milk products already on the market attribute their antihypertensive effect to the bioactive peptides present in the fermented milk and draw attention to the fact that some of these commercial products possess intellectual property rights. However, they point out that these products may also contain minerals such as potassium and calcium, which may have a positive effect on blood pressure.\n\"Although much research related to antihypertensive peptides has already been done, there is a great need for exploration of new lactic acid bacteria that possess the ability to generate this bioactivity as well as good technological properties for the production of fermented dairy products. As commercial fermented milks with antihypertensive effects are scarce and most of the current products are based on Lactobacillus helveticus, there is a great opportunity here,\" commented Dr. Vallejo-C\u00f3rdoba.\nThe authors recommend future studies to include in vitro lactic acid bacteria screening for ACE-inhibitory effects, in vivo studies with spontaneously hypertensive rats, and clinical trials to test the efficacy of the fermented milk product. \"It is also important to develop the regulatory legislation that allows the introduction of health claims for functional dairy foods, especially in countries where this subject is underdeveloped,\" Dr. Vallejo-C\u00f3rdoba concluded.\nArticle: Fermented milk as antihypertensive functional food, L.

        "raw_content": "Medicare HMOs\nMedicare beneficiaries may elect to join an HMO as an alternative to traditional fee-for-service Medicare. Medicare HMOs contract with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid to provide the full range of Medicare-covered services to Medicare beneficiaries for a fixed monthly fee from the government. Generally you have coverage for care only from providers who are part of the HMO network. The only exceptions are for emergency services, which you may receive anywhere in the United States and urgently needed services, which you may receive while temporarily away from your HMO\u2019s service area. Therefore, if you spend part of the year (more than 90 days) outside the HMO\u2019s service plan area, joining an HMO may not be in your best interest. When you first enroll in an HMO, you will be asked to select a primary care physician from the HMO\u2019s list of doctors. A primary care doctor is responsible for managing all of your medical care, including referrals to a specialist like a cardiologist or gastroenterologist, when your doctor thinks you need it. Some HMOs offer a Point of Service (POS) option for an additional cost. Under the POS option, you will be allowed to see providers outside the network, and the HMO usually pays 70 or 80% of the cost.\nSome HMOs also offer coverage for services that Original Medicare doesn\u2019t provide, including prescription drugs, routine physical exams, eyeglasses and hearing aids. However, there has been an upward direction in costs for Medicare HMO subscribers. This has finally reached heavily competitive areas such as New York City in recent years. The result is that more HMOs charge premiums, have increased co-payments and reduced prescription drug coverage.For 2004. a significant example is that in-patient hospital care in most HMO plans in New York City carry charges for hospital stays ranging from $100 to $600. And other HMOs charge daily co-payments of $50 to $200 per day for a number of days of the stay.\nHealth Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) are the most common type of Medicare managed care plans. Other types of managed care plans are Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) and Provider-Sponsored Organization (PSO).\nThere are two PPOs with four plans n New York City These plans are part of a demonstration program of 33 new health plans offering, at a monthly premium, preferred provider (PPO) coverage in parts of 23 states. Included are New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The health plans were offered starting January 2, 2003. Some of the common PPO features are as follows:\nNetworks of preferred providers, and access to providers outside the network are at higher cost-sharing amounts than network providers.\nThe demonstration program allows the PPO flexibility to determine how the benefits will be offered, but they must provide all of the benefits available under Medicare Parts A and B. Therefore applicants need to review plan materials carefully.\nUnlike HMOs, the PPOs have no capacity limits. Consequently, they are able to enroll all beneficiaries. The PPO is on an annual contract, so it will have the same option of withdrawing from Medicare or reducing its service area as in an HMO.\nTo be eligible for a Medicare HMO or PPO:\n1. You must have both Part A (hospital) and Part B (medical) Medicare\n2. You can\u2019t be medically diagnosed with end-state renal disease (ESRD).\n3. You must live in the area in which the plan has agreed to provide services.\nPlease always check back at QOOQe for more details.",

The participants were asked to put themselves into one of four categories: \u201cdefinitely a morning person\u201d; \u201cmore a morning person than evening person\u201d; \u201cmore an evening than a morning person\u201d; or \u201cdefinitely an evening person.\u201d Over the course of the study, just over 10,000 participants died, and researchers found that those who identified as \u201cdefinite evening types\u201d were 10 percent more likely to die than their sunrise-loving counterparts.\n\u201cPrevious work has shown that people who are evening types \u2014 are night owls \u2014 tend to have worse health profiles, including things like diabetes and heart disease,\u201d Kristen Knutson, associate professor of neurology at Northwestern\u2019s Feinberg School of Medicine and one of the authors of the study, said in a press release, \u201cBut this is really the first study to look at mortality.\u201d\nIt wasn\u2019t just an increased risk of dying that was more prevalent among night owls. Researchers also found that the \u201cdefinite evening types\u201d were nearly twice as likely to indicate they had some sort of psychological illness than the \u201cdefinite morning types.\u201d\n\u201cWhat we think might be happening is, there\u2019s a problem for the night owl who\u2019s trying to live in the morning lark world,\u201d Knutson said. \u201cThis mismatch between their internal clock and their external world could lead to problems for their health over the long run, especially if their schedule is irregular.\u201d Makes sense, considering how much messing with your circadian rhythm messes with your health.\nAccording to the study, the night owls were also more likely to have diabetes, neurological disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, and respiratory disorders. (Regularly staying up late can also cause unwanted weight gain.

        "raw_content": "The guidelines we've presented so far can help to make homes safer places for babies to live in. However, young children will often go outside the home with their parents. Concerned parents can also think about ways to make these outings occur as safely as possible.\nBy law, all fifty United States require that infants and younger children must be restrained in a crash-tested child restraint seat while riding in a motor vehicle. Using child safety restraints is not just important because it is law; such restraints are also the very best way available to prevent child injury and death in motor vehicle accidents. Caregivers should never hold a baby in their laps, in either the back seat or the front seat.\nParents should purchase and use new safety seats rather than older, used ones, if at all possible. Caregivers can never be sure that borrowed or used seats have never been in an accident, have never been recalled, have all their parts present and accounted for, have replacement parts available, or have their instructional manual handy. Families with more than one car that is regularly used to transport children should consider investing in multiple car seats, which can remain permanently installed in each vehicle.\nNew car seats are expensive, but some communities make resources available to qualifying caregivers to help offset their cost. Caregivers interested in such assistance can contact their local public health department, children's hospital, National SAFE Kids Campaign office (202-662-0600), or state highway patrol office(888-327-4236) to learn about free or low-cost child safety seat programs in their areas. Often, these programs offer or require parents to take a class on how to use the car seat properly and to practice installing the car seat. This is a wonderful opportunity for parents to feel secure about their ability to safely transport their kids.\nAll safety seats sold new in this country are required to meet minimum safety guidelines. When selecting a child safety seat to buy, families should look at what seat will work best for their vehicle and their child's developmental stage. Car seats are not one-size-fits-all devices. Specific seats are useful only for children of particular sizes. As children grow, they require larger seats. Caregivers should look for a seat that matches their child's present size and age. Any car seat purchased should also be tested in the caregiver's particular vehicle to make sure it will work properly in that make and model.\nThere are three main types of car seats: infant-only, convertible, and booster seats. Infant-only seats are made for babies up to twenty pounds or one year old, and are meant to be installed backward-facing in the rear seat. They should include a five-point harness and an extra pillow support to put around newborns' heads. Newborns should also be kept at a 45 degree angle to ensure their airway remains open at all times. Once babies can hold their head up, they probably will not need the extra head support and can sit upright. Sometimes infants may grow too long for these seats before they reach one year old. This is the case when an infant's head reaches closer than one inch from the top of the car seat. Such babies should be transitioned to a child safety seat that can hold up to thirty pounds that can still be positioned backward-facing. Babies should continue to ride in a backwards-facing car seat until at least age one year.\nOften, caregivers will select a convertible seat from the beginning. These seats can restrain a range of children in size and can be positioned either rear-facing or front-facing. Parents should make sure that the particular seat they choose is appropriate for their child's weight and for their vehicle. Once again, read all manufacturers' information or consult a child safety seat training organization for more information.\nFurthermore, to keep babies and toddlers as safe as possible, caregivers should refrain from over-dressing babies during cold weather in over bulky coats or blankets before strapping them in the car seat. Extra bulk could prevent the seat's safety harness from working correctly. Instead, caregivers should dress their baby in a few lighter layers, then harness in the safety seat, then cover the now safely latched child in blankets. In warm weather, caregivers should cover the car seat with a blanket or large towel while the car sits parked in the sunshine to prevent plastic and metal parts of the seat from becoming too hot, which might potentially burn a baby or at least make him or her uncomfortable.",

        "title": "Love and Nurturing",
        "raw_content": "The foremost way you provide encouragement to children is through showing them love and nurturing. Most parents and caregivers have a natural urge to show their children that they are unconditionally accepted, wanted, enjoyed, and loved. For the youngest of children, love is shown through physical exchanges such as holding, hugging, kissing, caressing, and feeding. These actions from the earliest minutes of life increase child-parent bonding, which is necessary for infants to trust their caregivers to meet their basic needs.\nAs babies explore the world and try new things, these illustrations of love continue to foster a sense of trust as well as lead to feelings of confidence. As your baby grows, you can also expand your methods for communicating love. Beyond the physical, you can smile often and show facial expressions that reflect your baby's emotions. You can laugh with your child, and use uplifting and positive tones when you speak to him or her. You can sing, play, and make babies and toddlers feel included in everyday activities, especially family activities. One way to start family relationship building from day one is to do things together as a family unit (no matter the size or compositions of that unit), as well as making sure that you and your child (or children) have separate time together.\nShowing love and affection is an absolutely necessary part of encouraging positive physical, mental, emotional, and social development. It is the most important thing you can provide to your child beyond meeting his or her basic human needs.",

        "raw_content": "Just as nutrition is vital to infants' growth and development, sleep is also a main building block of life. Babies need sleep just as adults do; however, babies' sleep patterns and ways of falling asleep differ greatly from those of adults. When babies are born, their sleep patterns are not set, and they need to be taught how to fall asleep. Through active parenting, caregivers can help their baby learn how to sleep in more adult-like patterns and how to soothe themselves to sleep. While some babies easily adapt to more mature sleep cycles, other babies may take much more effort and patience to do so.\nIncredibly, in the first week of life, babies sleep over sixteen hours a day, averaging eight hours during the daytime and eight and a half hours during the night. By age 1 month, they are still averaging about fifteen and a half hours of sleep per day, with that time split almost evenly between day and night. However, that sleep does not come in long, deep slumbers like adult sleep. Newborns take small snatches of light sleep all throughout the day and night, often waking hungry, soiled, or wanting affection. As time goes on, babies partially regulate their sleeping patterns just by being around adults with regulated sleep patterns, but caregivers also influence how babies learn to sleep.\nIn the first months, parents and caregivers need to respond to an infant's cries night or day, because this is a sensitive time when their basic biological needs are immediate and they are still learning to trust and bond with adults. When caregivers respond to their needful cries, they are building this trust and connection. As these babies begin to grow, there are ways to lovingly mold sleep patterns. To help babies learn to soothe themselves to sleep, create a bedtime routine that will help relax them and transition them from day to night. This routine can include a warm bath, a massage, cuddling, soft music or white noise, and the bedtime feeding. Teach babies to soothe themselves to sleep by putting them in their bed when they're full and drowsy but not yet asleep, and see how they react. Some infants will suckle their fingers or watch their mobile until they fall asleep, which is wonderful for parents. Other babies will scream and cry to be held until they finally fall asleep. Those babies will need more holding and comfort through the process of learning how to fall asleep.\nIn order to encourage longer sleeping periods through the night, send the message that nighttime is for sleeping, not for fun and play. When infants cry in the middle of the night for a bottle or a diaper change, provide for those needs quickly and quietly, without lots of stimuli such as light, singing, or games. To allow parents and caregivers to get as many hours of sleep at a stretch as possible at night, awaken babies for a feeding and changing just before they go to bed in order to start them off with a full belly and clean diaper.\nBy around age 3 months, babies' sleep normally comes in longer segments, and they may be sleeping for four to five hours at a time at night. They are still getting around fifteen hours of sleep, but approximately ten hours of it comes at night. By age 6 months, babies are often sleeping six to seven hour at a time. At this age, they average just a bit over fourteen hours of sleep daily, but most of it, about eleven hours, comes at night. Babies continue to average around thirteen to fourteen hours of sleep daily until their first birthday, and toddlers between the ages of 1 and 2 years average twelve to fourteen hours of sleep.\nNo matter where or how long babies sleep, it's important that they are safe and comfortable. Cribs and bassinets should be constructed sturdily, and sleeping areas should be free from objects such as knick-knacks or window blinds that may create falling or strangling hazards if the baby decides to play. Many other measures can be taken to protect the baby's airway and prevent suffocation or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), which kills 6,000 infants in the United States a year. Doctors and researchers don't totally understand what causes SIDS, but they have identified safeguards that can reduce infant risk. Mattresses should fit snugly into the crib frames, and fitted crib sheets should fit snugly over the mattresses. As well, cribs should be free of all pillows, stuffed animals, and other loose bedding when babies are sleeping inside. Only light coverings should be used in the bed. Even better, babies can be put to sleep in sleepers that keep them snuggly and warm but do not cover the head or face in any way. Parents and caregivers should also watch the temperature of the sleeping area so that the baby is neither too warm nor too cold. Babies should always be put down to sleep on their backs, never on their stomachs or on their sides.",

        "title": "Trade Compliance Flash: Initial CFIUS Pilot Program Targets Critical Technologies in 27 Industries; Covered Parties Must File Mandatory Declarations or Risk Significant Civil Monetary Penalties | Miller & Chevalier",
        "raw_content": "On October 10, 2018, the U.S. Department of the Treasury (Treasury) announced the first pilot program implemented by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS or the Committee) under the recently enacted Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act (FIRRMA).\nThe pilot program, which takes effect on November 10, 2018, expands the scope of transactions subject to review by the Committee significantly to encompass certain non-controlling investments by foreign persons in U.S. critical technologies in certain industries. The pilot program also implements FIRRMA's mandatory declarations provision, a CFIUS first, for all transactions subject to the pilot program. To give the mandatory declarations some teeth, the pilot program authorizes CFIUS to assess potentially massive civil monetary penalties, up to the total value of the transaction, for non-compliance with the filing requirement.\nAs the initial pilot program under FIRRMA, as well as the Committee's first foray into reviewing certain non-controlling investments by foreign persons, it was inevitable that this announcement would create concern, and likely a bit of chaos, among those companies and investment firms impacted by it most directly. However, the breadth of the industries covered in conjunction with the mandatory declarations and the prospect of millions, if not billions, of dollars in potential civil liability for a failure to file amplifies those concerns considerably. Any company, whether inside or outside the United States, that makes or receives investment in connection with businesses that use or develop U.S. critical technology should consider assessing immediately whether its activities may be covered by the pilot program. Failing to do so presents significant risk, as FIRRMA has broadened CFIUS's enforcement mandate markedly and the current administration may push CFIUS to act more aggressively than it has historically.\nNot surprisingly, the scope of the program and the industries it covers appear to focus on sectors favored by Chinese investment, although the regulations implementing the pilot program do not single out any specific country. With the pace of inbound U.S. investment from China having slowed considerably in recent months, the program could curtail that even further. Nevertheless, it bears monitoring whether the increased transparency and accountability that the pilot program demands may spur an uptick in certain types of Chinese investment not subject to the program.\nGarnering far less attention than the pilot program was Treasury's issuance on October 11, 2018 of an interim rule amending and updating certain provisions of the CFIUS regulations to make them consistent with portions of FIRRMA that became effective immediately upon its enactment. Although the changes are largely technical in nature, and do not address many aspects of the new law, Treasury is accepting public comments on the interim rule through November 10, 2018. Some of the most notable revisions are those implementing penalties and other consequences for violations of mitigation agreements.\nScope of the Pilot Program\nFIRRMA authorized CFIUS to conduct pilot programs to implement any provisions of the new law that were not immediately effective. This initial pilot program enlarges the Committee's jurisdiction, consistent with FIRRMA's expanded definition of a covered transaction, to include \"other investments\" by foreign persons that do not constitute an acquisition of control of a U.S. critical technology company. Transactions that could result in foreign control of such a company, including those carried out through joint ventures, are likewise covered by the program.\nThe primary elements of the pilot program are summarized below. The specifics of each element, as well as other definitions and details, are set forth in the Pilot Program Regulations. CFIUS also issued a Fact Sheet and FAQs to assist parties in navigating the requirements of the new program. In sum, to be covered by the pilot program there must be (1) an equity investment by a foreign person that affords the foreign investor certain rights (2) in a target U.S. business that utilizes or designs (3) \"critical technologies\" (4) for use in one or more of the 27 identified pilot program sectors listed in Annex A to the Pilot Program Regulations.\nThe concept of \"other investment\" or \"pilot program covered investment\" is essentially an attempt to define the middle ground\u2014between control and a passive investment\u2014where CFIUS can exercise jurisdiction. To constitute a covered investment under the pilot program, an investment, direct or indirect, must afford the foreign investor: (a) access to any material nonpublic technical information in the possession of the target U.S. business; (b) membership or observer rights on the board of directors or equivalent governing body of the U.S. business or the right to nominate an individual to a position on the same; or (c) any involvement, other than through voting shares, in substantive decisionmaking of the U.S. business regarding the use, development, acquisition, or release of critical technology. Notably, however, an indirect foreign investment in a pilot program business through an investment fund that affords the foreign investor membership as a limited partner or equivalent on an advisory board or a committee of the fund shall not be considered a covered transaction under the pilot program as long as certain specified criteria, designed to ensure the foreign investor has essentially no influence over or access to sensitive information, are met.\nThe pilot program covers all critical technologies, as defined under FIRRMA, provided that the target U.S. business is subject to the pilot program, as discussed below. In addition to the traditional core of \"critical technologies\"\u2014items subject to U.S. export control laws, regulated nuclear facilities, equipment, parts and components, materials, software and technology, and select agents and toxins\u2014FIRRMA expanded the definition to include a new sub-category of \"emerging and foundational technologies\" controlled pursuant to the Export Control Reform Act of 2018. The Secretary of Commerce is charged with establishing appropriate export controls for \"emerging and foundational technologies,\" and it is expected that a related notice of proposed rulemaking could be issued soon. Because the concept of \"emerging and foundational technologies\" is truly novel and its scope is uncertain, it will require careful monitoring as the regulations evolve and potential new investment in such technologies comes under the umbrella of the pilot program. It is worth noting that technologies such as artificial intelligence, biotechnology, nanotechnology, semiconductors, and micro-electronics, to name a few, are widely thought to be under consideration for designation as emerging and foundational technologies.\nOnly certain types of U.S. businesses working with critical technology are covered by the pilot program. The pilot program includes any U.S. business that produces, designs, tests, manufactures, fabricates, or develops a critical technology that is: (1) utilized in connection with the U.S. business's activity in one or more pilot program industries; or (2) designed by the U.S. business specifically for use in one or more of the pilot program industries.\nWith respect to the specific industries covered by the pilot program, there are 27 in total, which are listed in an annex to the Pilot Program Regulations accompanied by their respective North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes. The pilot program industries were, according to CFIUS, chosen to protect against certain strategically-motivated foreign investment that could pose a threat to U.S. technological superiority and national security. Although some of the industries have a clear nexus to U.S. military or defense interests (e.g., Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing; Military Armored Vehicle, Tank, and Tank Component Manufacturing), many of listed industries are quite broad and diverse, meaning that it may not be immediately obvious to parties that their transaction implicates a covered industry. For instance, the following are pilot program industries: Semiconductor and Related Device Manufacturing; Computer Storage Device Manufacturing; Electronic Computer Manufacturing; Petrochemical Manufacturing; Primary and Storage Battery Manufacturing; Research and Development in Nanotechnology and Biotechnology; and Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing.\nLastly, the pilot program covers all foreign persons and is not country-specific. The Committee acknowledged that it chose not to exempt any country from the mandatory declaration requirement to better understand the nature of foreign direct investment in the United States as it relates to critical technologies and the pilot program industries. That suggests, at the very least, that the final version of the rule could include country-specific exemptions or, conversely, even more restrictive requirements for countries of special concern like China or Russia.\nMandatory Declarations and Civil Monetary Penalties\nIn addition to the substantive expansion of the Committee's jurisdiction, the pilot program marks the first time that mandatory declarations will be required. Here, the pilot program establishes that mandatory declarations must be filed for foreign transactions involving pilot program U.S. businesses that are within the purview of CFIUS (i.e., both controlling investments and \"other investments\").\nFIRRMA established the possibility of filing a declaration in certain circumstances in lieu of filing a full notice, at least in part, to create a more efficient CFIUS review process. It is expected that declarations will be abbreviated versions of traditional notices, which generally should not exceed five pages in length. Despite the more streamlined nature of declarations under the pilot program, there are still nearly twenty discrete categories of required information (not counting sub-parts) that must be included. In general, declarations must be filed at least 45 days prior to a transaction's expected completion date. For affected transactions scheduled to close before December 25, 2018, the declaration must be filed by November 10, 2018, or promptly thereafter. The Committee will have 30 days to take action with respect to a declaration once it has been accepted by the Staff Chairperson of CFIUS and circulated to the Committee.\nParties subject to the pilot program may also choose to file a notice under CFIUS's standard procedures rather than a declaration. This may be advisable when the parties assess that it is highly unlikely the Committee will be able to complete all action with respect to a transaction based on a declaration alone. Although CFIUS timing considerations impacting deal closures have always been of great concern, the uncertainty surrounding the pilot program's new mandatory declaration requirement, and the potential volume of filings that CFIUS may be fielding once the program takes effect, could prompt parties to skip the new initial step altogether and move straight to a traditional notice.\nThe pilot program also grants CFIUS a powerful tool to enforce the mandatory declaration requirement\u2014civil monetary penalties. Parties that have a mandatory filing requirement with CFIUS under the pilot program, and fail to comply, can be assessed a civil monetary penalty up to the value of the transaction.\nThe significance of this potential enforcement tool cannot be overstated. Although there are many questions regarding how this will work in practice\u2014Will CFIUS have the resources to detect covered pilot program transactions that fail to file? How harshly will parties be penalized if they were unaware of the mandatory filing requirement? How harshly will parties be penalized if they were aware of the requirement and elected to ignore it?\u2014it seems clear that CFIUS will be adopting a more aggressive enforcement posture, consistent with FIRRMA and the policy goals of the current administration. Consequently, assessing whether an investment is potentially covered by the pilot program should be a focus for U.S. businesses and investment firms engaged in any investment activities connected to the pilot program industries or, more broadly, the U.S. technology sector. Once that initial assessment is undertaken, parties can make informed, risk-based decisions about how and whether to engage with CFIUS on a transaction-by-transaction basis.\nFinal Thoughts on the Launch of the Pilot Program\nAs the initial pilot program under FIRRMA, as well as the Committee's first foray into reviewing certain non-controlling investments by foreign persons, it was inevitable that this announcement would create concern, and likely a bit of chaos, among those companies and investment firms impacted by it most directly. However, the breadth of the industries covered in conjunction with the mandatory declarations and the prospect of millions if not billions of dollars in potential civil liability for a failure to file amplifies those concerns considerably. Any company, whether inside or outside the United States, that makes or receives investment in connection with businesses that use or develop U.S. critical technology should consider assessing immediately whether its activities may be covered by the pilot program. Failing to do so presents significant risk, as FIRRMA has broadened CFIUS's enforcement mandate markedly and the current administration may push CFIUS to act more aggressively than it has historically.\nNot surprisingly, the scope of the program and the industries it covers appear to focus on sectors favored by Chinese investment, although the regulations implementing the pilot program do not single out any specific country. With the pace of inbound U.S. investment from China having slowed considerably in recent months, the program could curtail that even further. Nevertheless, it bears monitoring whether the increased transparency and accountability that the pilot program demands may spur an uptick in certain types of Chinese investment not subject to the program. For example, Chinese investors interested in the United States may elect to pursue purely passive investments, even more than they have historically, that do not rise to the level of \"other investments.\" It is also possible that Chinese investors could turn their attention to investment opportunities in substantive areas not covered by the program, but which may still be subject to CFIUS scrutiny.\nAs a complement to the pilot program, Treasury also issued an interim rule on October 11, 2018, which amended and updated certain provisions of the CFIUS regulations to make them consistent with portions of FIRRMA that became effective immediately upon its enactment. These amendments were intended, among other things, to clarify the current process and procedures regarding reviews and investigations undertaken by the Committee in the post-FIRRMA era. Although the changes are largely technical in nature, and do not address many aspects of the new law that will be implemented in the coming months, Treasury is accepting public comments on the interim rule through November 10, 2018. Some of the most notable revisions are those implementing penalties and other consequences for violations of mitigation agreements.\nMiller & Chevalier will continue tracking new FIRRMA-related developments closely.

He went for a walk on August 13, 2017 and never returned.\n\u201cHe was seen Eastbound on I-20. Left his vehicle, left his R-V, my nephew tried to call him back and he\u2019d already turned the phone off,\u201d Sandy Sanders told KTLA News.

I know that he was off of it at least a week,\u201d Sandy says.\nThe Monahan\u2019s Police Department and the Texas Rangers are working Sanders disappearance.\nAngela Sanders, Chris\u2019 wife posted on Facebook: \u201cI will not stop looking until I find him even if that means selling everything I own to keep looking. I am doing everything I can to find Chris. He is the love of my life, my soul mate and I don\u2019t know what I would do without him. We have a good strong marriage and love each other very very much. We were not fighting when he disappeared. He was very stressed and angry about his job out there because they were shorting him about $1200 a month on his per-dium. He was extremely tired and his body ached from the long hours hauling rock on the rough oil field roads. That\u2019s a lot of stress on a man, now he has been off his medicine for over a week which really scares me. Please continue to pray for Chris. I am praying and trusting God is taking care of him and is going to bring him home safe. Thank you for all prayers and support during this time.\u201d\nChristopher was wearing a black t-shirt, blue jeans, \u201cTwisted X\u201d boots, a black cap with the letters \u201cT C\u201d in red on the front and sunglasses. Christopher has a tanned complexion, and a mustache & goatee / beard.

        "raw_content": "Oscar Winning Film Sound Mixer Simon Hayes Puts DPA\u2019s New Subminiature Microphones To The Test\nThese tiny microphones were used to capture dialogue, live vocals and music on a new Danny Boyle movie that will be released in 2019.\nThe currently untitled movie, which is due for release in 2019, is a musically themed comedy directed by Danny Boyle and written by Richard Curtis (Love Actually, Notting Hill). Although details of the plot are sketchy, it is set in the 1960s and 1970s and stars Lily James, Kate McKinnon, Ed Sheeran and Himesh Patel.\nSimon Hayes chose DPA\u2019s new d:screet Subminiature lavalier microphones for this project because they deliver very natural sounding audio and - at just three millimeters in diameter - are small enough to remain invisible, even when fitted to actors wearing exceptionally tight t-shirts and ties with very tiny knots.\n\u201cWith other subminiature microphones on the market there is an extreme, pronounced quality compromise when you are recording vocals and this is the reason why I\u2019ve never liked using them,\u201d Hayes explains. \u201cHowever, with the DPA Subminiature you can have your cake and eat it because the sound is amazing and they are so small you can hide them just about anywhere. I don\u2019t know how DPA have done it \u2013 they must have magicians in their R&D department \u2013 because they seem to have shrunk a normal sized microphone into this tiny package without any compromise on sound quality. What\u2019s more, these new microphones sound exactly the same as the larger d:screet 4061 or 4071 lavaliers, including those fitted with DPA\u2019s new CORE amplifier technology. This means you can use them together and you can\u2019t tell the difference because the vocal timbre and the tonal quality is identical.\u201d\nAs a long term fan of DPA \u2013 he used d:screet 4061s and 4071s extensively during the filming of Mamma Mia and Les Mis\u00e9rables for which he won both an Oscar and BAFTA in the sound mixing categories \u2013 Simon Hayes was delighted to have the opportunity to try the new subminiature microphones prior to their official launch in September.\n\u201cWhen we shot the Danny Boyle film, we were recording live vocals and live music,\u201d he explains. \u201cWe used the subminiatures for the actors\u2019 dialogue and live vocals. We also used d:screet CORE 4061 microphones inside the acoustic guitars. This gave us a very natural sound and meant that we had continuity when switching from one microphone to another because they all matched acoustically. The sound and music post production editing teams were delighted with this set up as they could carry out really creative mixes based on what they were hearing, rather than having to mix around any negative points from the lavalier recordings.\u201d\nHayes adds that the costume department was equally impressed with the new DPA sub miniatures.\n\u201cOn this film a lot of the male actors were wearing tight t-shirts, which are always difficult to rig with radio mics. DPA\u2019s new subminiature is so small that it can be stuck between an actor\u2019s pecs on a really tight fitting, sheer t-shirt and you can\u2019t see it at all.\u201d\nHayes adds that the subminiatures were also ideal for miking actors wearing suits. Usually a miniature microphone can be fitted into a tie knot, but on this film the 1960\u2019s-style tie knots were very small and therefore required a much smaller solution.\n\u201cWe could get the subminiature mics into any tie knot, not just some of them,\u201d he explains. \u201cThis ability to be much closer to the source of the vocal makes the sound much clearer.\u201d\nChanges in the way movies are being made has led to much greater demand for small, high quality microphones and Simon Hayes believes DPA is one of the few manufacturers that really understand this.\n\u201cDPA is truly supporting the film industry because they are constantly pushing microphone technology forward and presenting viable solutions that we can use on set,\u201d he says. \u201cYou have to remember that we are not shooting on film anymore \u2013 99% of what we shoot is on HD and every year the quality of HD and the resolution of the pixels improves. This means that, on a cinema screen, audiences see everything in much greater detail, including the costumes. If we don\u2019t rig a lavalier microphone very carefully and very sensitively the audience is going to spot it. DPA has recognised this and presented us with a solution. The new subminiature microphones are tiny enough to hide effectively yet accurate enough to make no compromise on vocal quality. That is a massive achievement. Also, because DPA subminiature microphones are sonically identical to their larger brothers, we can choose the right tool for the job without having to worry about them not sounding the same.\u201d\nWith the Danny Boyle movie now completed, Simon Hayes is turning his attention to his next project \u2013 Tom Hooper\u2019s film adaptation of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical CATS. His other recent film credits include the new Mary Poppins movie and a remake of the Aladdin story, both of which were recorded using DPA\u2019s new d:screet CORE 4061 and 4071 lavaliers that were launched to huge critical acclaim earlier this year.\nCould The Hurt Locker Take Sound Oscars?\nSOUND FOR FILM: AN OPEN LETTER TO PICTURE AND SOUND EDITORS FROM A PRODUCTION MIXER\nBy William Sarokin\nOscar Winning Sound Designer, Mixer Scottie Richardson Joins Lucky Post\n5 Films, 5 Reasons to Listen\nOscar Sound Winners 2013",

        "raw_content": "Home > News > Playtech Posts Positive Growth Stats Again\nPopular online gaming expert Playtech is e xperiencing impressive growth of late, which it has attributed to its strategic M&A action which has provided strong dividends across the firm. Playtech achieved the necessary growth in 2017 to remain up to date with its growth strategy for 2018 as well, according to the firm\u2019s most recent financial report.\nThe firm\u2019s key figure was its total revenue, which grew to \u20ac807.1 million ($992.1 million) during the 12 months of 2017. This represented a positive increase of 14% over the \u20ac708.6 million posted in 2017, showing a consistent increase in the company\u2019s most important fiscal marker.\nOther notable increases were present in Playtech\u2019s adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA), which improved by 7% to \u20ac322.1 million in 2018; adjusted net profit, which increased 14% to \u20ac231.4 million; reported net profit, which grew 28% to \u20ac248.1 million; adjusted diluted earnings per share, which increased 14% to 66.8 cents (\u20ac); and total dividend per share, which grew by 10% to reach 36 cents (\u20ac).\n54% Strategy-Led Revenue Growth\nPlaytech has also already taken measures to prompt realistic expectations from its shareholders, especially considering a recent November warning of uncertainty in Asian markets. A new contract with Sun Bingo has also contributed to this cautious move, which Playtech Chairman Alan Jackson has referred to as \u2018headwinds\u2019 in the firm\u2019s regulated and unregulated operations.\nJackson also noted that the revenue generated by Playtech in 2017 translated to a 10% increase in the firm\u2019s full-year dividends. Playtech\u2019s strategy for 2017 and 2018 was to boost the group\u2019s quality of earnings both organically and through M&A activity. The efficacy of this strategy was notable in the firm\u2019s 54% increase in regulated revenue for the full year.\nNew Casino Deal Signed With OEG\nPlaytech\u2019s latest big development is a long-term deal with Olympic Entertainment Group, which will see them expanding their delivery of Neon casino technology to an international operator. OEG will link over 100 casinos in five nations to a massive network of over 3,500 gaming machines and 150 gaming tables in its comprehensive casino management system.\nCommenting on the deal, OEG Chief Information Officer Oleg Jurt\u0161enko noted that his firm is looking forward to taking full advantage of Neon by integrating it across all of their global operations. He also applauded Playtech for understanding his company\u2019s unique requirements, and for being eager to adapt their Neon technology to OEG\u2019s needs.\nhttps://www.onlinecasinoreports.com/articles/winning-playtech-gains-consistent-with-strategy.php",

        "title": "AMT: May YTD Machine Tool Orders Up 26%",
        "raw_content": "AMT: May YTD Machine Tool Orders Up 26%\nAccording to the U.S. Manufacturing Technology Orders report from the Association for Manufacturing Technology, U.S. manufacturing technology orders in May posted double-digit growth rates month-over-month and year-over-year, demonstrating strong, sustained growth in the sector. Overall, orders totaled $485 million in May, bringing the year-to-date total to $2.1 billion, which was 26% higher than the first five months of 2017.\n\u201cThe May rebound was largely expected as April tends to be a slow month, but the 26% jump over 2017 shows the strength in the global markets for manufacturing technology products and places the trend line on orders above our projections from last year,\u201d said Doug Woods, AMT president. \u201cThe market does have some turbulence with tariff concerns, supply chain challenges, labor shortages, interest rates creeping up and disruptive technologies shifting markets and methods. Still, for those agile and innovative companies, these market dynamics create a larger volume of opportunities and pave a pathway to continued growth.\u201d\nIn May, every region saw an increase in orders, with the South central showing gains that point to a rebound in the region for manufacturing technology expenditures. It is important to note that while oil and gas exploration is a significant portion of the recovery, there is diversity in this growth that the region has not seen in decades. The North central-west posted the largest year-to-date gains at 40.3%, fueled by increased activity in the off-road equipment, medical equipment and job shop industries.\nLarge investment programs announced by the auto industry 18 to 24 months ago are finally beginning to bear fruit with May orders. An overwhelming majority of the new orders will be going to the \u201cNew Detroit\u201d (Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia and the Carolinas). A sector to watch is the engine and turbine industry. Power generation is seeking a rapid increase in capacity. The West and Southeast are the two areas that seem to be driving this growth, although New England is still very strong in this sector.\nGeneral economic indicators that lead the manufacturing technology market also continue to be positive, though many stepped back a bit in May. This is most likely a reflection of the pause in April. Consumer sentiment fell less than a point, capacity utilization dropped by a little more than a half point and the annual auto production rate for May fell by 300,000 units. These are the most modest of changes and the numbers support continued growth in orders. This point is punctuated by the slight rise in the Purchasing Managers Index, up to 58.7 from 57.3.\n\u201cThe order levels are better than I would expect given supply constraints and trade issues plaguing U.S. manufacturers today,\u201d said Pat McGibbon, AMT\u2019s vice president of Strategic Analytics. \u201cStill, the numbers suggest that the best months are ahead starting with September and the boost that the International Manufacturing Technology Show always brings on fourth quarter orders in even-numbered years.\u201d\nPat McGibbon\nThe Association for Manufacturing Technology",

The information has been confirmed by several Iranian news agencies,\u201d France24 news reported.\nShocking images and footage of protesters inside the Saudi embassy in Tehran launching petrol bombs have been posted by Iranian journalist Sobhan Hasanvand on his Twitter account.\nAs of 12:08 a.m. local time, several Molotov cocktails were thrown at the Saudi embassy, protesting Al-Nimr\u2019s execution, which Iranians are calling a crime.\nPhotos of the embassy\u2019s interior and the devastation have been posted by Hasanvand who was at the scene.\nA video shows the attackers breaking chairs, windows, and destroying the physical property inside the Saudi diplomatic mission.\nAccording to Iran\u2019s Isna news agency, local police rushed to the scene and the situation inside the embassy is under control. However, several protesters remain outside of the protected embassy.\nThe Saudi Arabia flags at the embassy and consulate were seized by the mob. According to Hasanvand, the flag at the Mashad consulate was not burned due to its Islamic inscription, which Iranians seem to have respected.\nIn addition, dozens of angry protesters gathered outside the Saudi consulate in the city of Mashad, in northeastern Iran, on Saturday afternoon, and lit portion of it on fire.\nContrary to the Saudi embassy, protesters were unable to storm through the consulate\u2019s building since the area is protected by a fence.\nImages of the assault are going viral, showing the angry mob climbing over the fence and the consulate burning.\nSaudi Arabia executed on Saturday 47 people over terrorism charges, the interior ministry said.\nMost of them are Sunni Muslims convicted of involvement in al-Qaeda-linked terror attacks in 2003. They were reportedly affiliated with ISIS terrorist group.\nSheikh Nimr was a vocal supporter of the mass anti-government protests that erupted in Eastern Saudi Arabia in 2011.\n\u201cI have no doubt that this pure blood will stain the collar of the House of Saud and wipe them from the pages of history,\u201d Ayatollah Khatami, one of Iran\u2019 senior Ayatollah, was quoted by Mehr news agency as saying.\n\u201cThe crime of executing Sheikh Nimr is part of a criminal pattern by this treacherous family\u2026 the Islamic world is expected to cry out and denounce this infamous regime as much as it can.\u201d\nAs of the time of writing, Saudi diplomatic staff is reported to have been evacuated before the torching of the embassy in Tehran and they are in safe condition.",

        "title": "The Bankruptcy Reform Act of 2005 Affects Bankruptcy Filers",
        "raw_content": "How the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 2005 Affects Bankruptcy Filers\nIn 2005, with approval from Congress, President Bush signed into law the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 (BAPCA). BAPCA was a result of eight years of negotiating, and it made significant changes to bankruptcy law for the first time in decades.\nThe consensus is, however, that BAPCA favored creditors more than debtors. Support for the Act came from banks and credit card companies, which spent more than $100 million lobbying for it over the eight years preceding its passage. Opposing the Act were many consumer advocates, legal scholars and other bankruptcy experts. In many instances, the Act makes it more difficult for consumers to file for bankruptcy. A Morris County bankruptcy attorney can help you understand how the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 affects your bankruptcy filing.\nMeans Test for Chapter 7 Filers\nPerhaps the biggest change brought about by BAPCA is the requirement of a means test for those who file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. The means test aims to prevent people from filing for Chapter 7 if they have enough money to pay off their debts. It pushes more people towards a Chapter 13 reorganization and repayment bankruptcy.\nThe means test can be quite complex, so it is always best to consult with a bankruptcy attorney, but the general guideline is to determine whether your current monthly income is more than your state\u2019s median income. You can derive your current monthly income by looking at all of your gross income over the six months prior to filing. If you are below the state median, you can proceed with filing. If you are above it, there are more tests to determine whether you qualify for Chapter 7.\nMandatory Credit Counseling\nBefore people can file for bankruptcy now, they must receive individual or group credit counseling. This can occur in person, over the telephone or via the internet, but the counseling agency must be on the bankruptcy court\u2019s approved list. The goal of requiring counseling is to help people avoid filing for bankruptcy unless they absolutely must do so. Some people may be able to reach a settlement with their creditors to pay off their debt without filing for bankruptcy.\nLimits on Repeat Bankruptcy Filers\nSeveral provisions of BAPCA place restrictions on people who file for bankruptcy multiple times within a relatively short time frame. For example, the automatic stay is one of the more important consumer protections available for bankruptcy filers. For most people, as soon as they file for bankruptcy, all collections activities and foreclosures by creditors must stop. For people who file a subsequent bankruptcy within a year or two of a past one, their automatic stay may be brief or may not take place at all.\nThe Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 instituted important changes in bankruptcy law. As it is still somewhat recent, courts, bankruptcy attorneys, creditors and bankruptcy filers continue to litigate its provisions.

This pretty village is surrounded by some of Gloucestershire\u2019s most beautiful countryside, 25 miles east of Cheltenham and 35 miles northwest of Oxford. It lies near the northern edge of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, on what was once the main road from Worcester to London. Its boundaries are marked by the River Evenlode, and its hilltop location provides wonderful views of Moreton-in-Marsh and the Fosse Way.\nTake a wander from your holiday cottage in Bourton-on-the-Hill and you will discover a traditional Gloucestershire community with narrow streets lined with historic stone buildings. Listed St Lawrence\u2019s Church, 17th century Slatters Cottage and Horseshoe Cottage are all fine examples of Cotswold architecture. Self-catering holidays in Bourton-on-the-Hill would be incomplete without a pint of local ale at the Horse and Groom, a cosy country pub with roaring fires and award-winning food, prepared with the best local ingredients.\nThere are some lovely walks a stone\u2019s throw from Bourton-on-the-Hill. The village is on the Heart of England Way, which heads south to Bourton-on-the-Water and north to Cannock Chase, and a footpath from the village meets the Cotswold Way, via Chipping Campden and Blockley. On the edge of the village, Batsford Park and Gardens cover 115 hectares with 19th century ornamental Japanese gardens and an abortorium with the country\u2019s largest collection of trees and shrubs. There is also a falconry centre with spectacular displays. The gardens are glorious to visit throughout the year, from the first snowdrops of spring to the glorious colours of late autumn.\nBourton-on-the-Hill is an excellent base for exploring the Cotswolds.

        "raw_content": "As the feminist Carol Hanisch first said in 1969, \u201cthe personal is political\u201d, and few places are more personal than what\u2019s going on in your pants. That\u2019s right \u2013 we\u2019re talking about the politics of pubic hair trends.\nDo you wax, trim, or leave it free and natural? Well, whatever you decide to do to your pubes is a conscious choice on your part. Nevertheless, it is difficult to avoid the stereotypes that are associated with that choice.\nShave it off? You\u2019re brainwashed by society that tells you pubic hair is \u201cgross\u201d.\nDon\u2019t touch it at all? You\u2019re making a political statement about our culture\u2019s warped notions of what is sexually appealing.\nWhilst we are living in an age when everything from plastic straws to what brand of clothing you wear is politicised, has pubic hair always been so controversial?\nThe short answer seems to be no.\nA Trimmed History of Pubic Hair\nUntil the early 1990s, the norm for pubic hair was to leave everything au natural.\nAccording to a 2011 study by Vanessa Schick on pubic hair preferences of Playboy centrefolds from 1953-2007, the vast majority of models left their pubic hair unaltered until at least the 1990s. This was when around 30% began trimming or otherwise altering their pubic hair.\nThe more modern phenomenon of completing removing all pubic hair only became prevalent in the 2000s, with about a quarter of the models choosing to go completely bare (and less than 10% of the models sporting the full bush that was so popular twenty years before).\nWhat led to this sudden desire to remove all of our pubes?\nA couple of theories have been put forward, the most widely accepted being the rise in internet pornography at around the same time. In order to get the best view of their genitals on camera, porn stars began removing their pubic hair.\nThe sudden, constant availability of pornography via the internet meant that people were suddenly inundated with images of hairless vulvas and began replicating this themselves \u2013 sexual fantasy becoming sexual reality.\nThere is also an urban legend that the modern popularity of the Brazilian wax began in New York at the J Sisters salon. The sisters began offering the service in 1987, but it didn\u2019t take off until 2000, when a Brazilian wax plotline featured heavily on an episode of Sex and the City, causing Carrie to feel like \u2018walking sex\u2019.\nPerhaps it is this association of hairless genitalia with increased sexuality that has led to the widespread popularity of shaving or otherwise removing pubic hair.\nAdvocates of the \u2018bare down there\u2019 look claim that it heightens sensation and allows you to feel \u2018everything\u2019.\nEva Longoria once said to Cosmopolitan in 2006:\n\u201cEvery woman should try a Brazilian wax once. The sex they have afterward will make them keep coming back.\u201d\nOther people claim that having no pubic hair makes them feel cleaner, and therefore more confident when engaging in sexual acts.\nHowever, this study found a positive correlation between people who shave and those with a history of self-reported STIs.\nSo, remember to use protection during sex, as they can also be contracted during oral sex. Get the Facts highlights that you should also be aware that:\n\u201cCondoms are 98% effective at protecting against most STIs like chlamydia and gonorrhoea. However, condoms don\u2019t protect you from all STIs such as herpes, genital warts and syphilis which can be spread from skin-to-skin contact.\u201d\nTo anyone who has ever waxed, or shaved, or removed their pubic hair in any way, you know it can be a painful, arduous task. Ingrown hairs, shaving rash and the sheer pain of waxing are enough to make anyone pause for a second before going bare down there.\nThis is where it starts to get political\u2026\nCaitlin Moran says in an interview with The Hairpin in 2012:\n\u201cIt\u2019s just the fact that that seems normal now, and I feel that anything that\u2019s normal that involves pain and costs a lot of money that boys aren\u2019t doing is something that I would really urgently want to have some kind of massive fucking inquest into.\u201d\nWhilst this sort of binary language is something that we try and avoid at MysteryVibe, several studies including one by Terry and Braun in 2013 found that in general people who identify as male report feeling entitled to a wider range of pubic hair styles. They feel less pressure to conform to one specific standard.\nWhereas a study by Butler et al in 2015 found that 95% of people who identified as female reported having removed their pubic hair in some shape or form.\nOf course, there is nothing wrong with pubic hair removal, particularly if it\u2019s how you feel most comfortable.\nSo, what\u2019s the issue with pubic hair removal?\nThe issue arises when people feel pressured (either by society or by their peers) into doing something that they don\u2019t necessarily want to do.\nThe good news is, we seem to be becoming more aware of these subconscious pressures \u2013 in a 2017 study by Terry et al, many of the participants talk about the desire to \u2018resist the hairless ideal\u2019 and the fact that they realise that they are \u2018conforming to a misguided idea of what is normal and resent that\u2019.\nThis, combined with the fact that it is gradually becoming less taboo to discuss sex and sexuality in an everyday setting, means that hopefully in the near future everyone will feel comfortable doing whatever they want with their pubic hair.\nBecause in the end, isn\u2019t choice the sexiest thing of all?",

        "title": "Radiant Foor Heating Systems",
        "raw_content": "Controlling the System\nCost of Radiant Floor Heating\nRadiant floor heating has been used for centuries. The Romans channeled hot air under the floors of their villas. The Koreans channeled hot flue gases under their floors before venting them up the chimney. In the 1930s, architect Frank Lloyd Wright piped hot water through the floors of many of his buildings. Some home builder's surveys have shown that, if given a choice, most new home owners prefer radiant floor heat over other types of systems.\nMost people who own radiant floor heating feel that the most important advantages are comfort and quiet operation. Radiant floor systems allow even heating throughout the whole floor, not just in localized spots as with wood stoves, hot air systems, and other types of radiators. The room heats from the bottom up, warming the feet and body first. Radiant floor heating also eliminates the draft and dust problems associated with forced-air heating systems.\nEven heat distribution equates with lower heating bills. With radiant floor heating, you can set the thermostat several degrees lower. This is because the entire surface of the floor radiates about the same amount of heat that the human body does, making the occupant feel warm even though the air temperature might be only 65\u00b0F (18\u00b0C). It also radiates this heat for a longer period of time than a forced air system. Another advantage is that radiant systems do not increase the infiltration of outside air into the house structure as forced air systems generally do. Radiant floor heating also allows lower boiler temperatures allowing them to last longer (a 45 year life is not unusual). Radiant floors operate between 85-140\u00b0F (29-60\u00b0C), compared to other heating systems' range of 130\u00b0-160\u00b0F (54\u00b0-71\u00b0C). Fuel saving of 15% to 20% over a forced air system is common.\nTo some, the greatest advantage of radiant floor heating is aesthetic. The system is \"invisible.\" There are no heat registers or radiators to obstruct furniture arrangements and interior design plans. Radiant floor systems also eliminate the fan noise of forced hot air systems.\nThere are three types of radiant floor heat: radiant air floors (air is the heat carrying medium), electric radiant floors, and hot water (hydronic) radiant floors. All three types can be further subdivided by the type of installation: those that make use of the large thermal mass of a concrete slab floor or lightweight concrete over a wooden subfloor (these are called \"wet\" installations); and those in which the installer \"sandwiches\" the radiant floor tubing between two layers of plywood, or attaches the tubing under the subfloor (dry installations).\nBecause air cannot hold large amounts of heat energy, radiant air floors are not cost-effective in residential applications, and are seldom installed.\nElectric radiant floors are usually only cost-effective if your electric utility company offers time-of-use rates. Time-of-use rates allow you to \"charge\" the concrete floor with heat during off-peak hours (approximately 9 pm to 6 am). If the floor's thermal mass is large enough, the heat stored in it will keep the house comfortable for eight to ten hours, without any further electrical input. This saves a considerable number of kilowatt-hours compared to heating at peak electric rates during the day.\nHydronic systems are the most popular and cost-effective systems for heating-dominated climates. They have been in extensive use in Europe for decades. Hydronic radiant floor systems pump heated water from a boiler through tubing laid in a pattern underneath the floor. The temperature in each room is controlled by regulating the flow of hot water through each tubing loop. This is done by a system of zoning valves or pumps and thermostats.\nIn a \"wet\" installation, the tubing is embedded in the concrete foundation slab, or in a lightweight concrete slab on top of a subfloor, or over a previously poured slab. If the new floor is not on solid earth, additional floor support may be necessary because of the added weight. You should consult a professional engineer to determine the floor's carrying capacity.\nSome \"dry\" installations involve suspending the tubing underneath the subfloor between the joists. This method usually requires drilling through the floor joists in order to install the tubing. Reflective insulation must also be installed under the tubes to direct the heat upward. Tubing may also be installed from above the floor, between an old and new subfloor. In these instances, the tubes are often in reflective aluminum sleeves that spread the heat to the sides, away from the tubing, and direct it upwards. The tubing and its reflectors are secured between furring strips (sleepers) which carry the weight of the new subfloor and finished floor surface.\nAlthough ceramic tile is the most common floor covering for radiant floor heating, a variety of finished floor surfaces can be used. The choices include vinyl flooring, carpeting, and wood. Carpeting and padding, however, insulate the floor and reduces some of the benefits of radiant floor systems. If you want carpeting, use a lower nap carpet and thin, denser padding. You will also need to increase the system water temperature to compensate for the insulating properties of the floor covering. Most installers and some wood floor manufacturers also recommend using laminated wood flooring instead of solid wood. This reduces the possibility of the floor shrinking and cracking from the drying effects of the heat.\nOlder radiant floor systems used either copper or steel tubing embedded in the concrete floors. Unless the builder coated the tubing with a protective compound, a chemical reaction between the metal and the concrete led to corrosion of the tubing, and to eventual leaks. Major manufacturers of hydronic radiant floor systems now use cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) or rubber tubing with an oxygen diffusion barrier. This material is much more durable and slows the effects of corrosion in the system. Additives and filtration systems also help protect hydronic heating systems from corrosion.\nThere have been recent reports of problems with rubber tubing produced by one chemical manufacturer. Leaks develop at the metal connections or fittings, and in some cases the tubing becomes rigid and brittle. Tightening connections and clamps only temporarily fixes the leaks. This situation is currently in litigation. Remember, this problem only concerns this specific brand of rubber tubing. It does not have anything to do with the PEX tubing, which has performed very reliably for many decades.\nA radiant floor that uses a concrete slab may take several hours to heat up if it is allowed to become cold. This can make the home uncomfortable as the slab heats up. Because of this, most radiant floor systems are controlled by a floor thermostat instead of a wall thermostat as in a forced air heating system. The floor thermostat usually allows the circulation pump(s) to run continuously and only controls the burner. Other, more sophisticated, types of controls sense the floor temperature, outdoor temperature, and room temperature to keep the home comfortable. Such a system can use less fuel because it adjusts the water temperature to meet the needs of the home.\nAlthough radiant floor systems are usually heated by a boiler, they can also be heated with a geothermal heat pump. Such a system offers even greater energy savings compared to other types of heating plants.\nThe cost of installing a hydronic radiant floor fluctuates depending on the size of the room, the type of installation (i.e., concrete slab or wood floor), the floor covering, remoteness of the site, and the cost of labor.

        "raw_content": "The history behind Uppark's gardens\nSeasonal bedding scheme in front of the east pavilion circa 1910. National Trust / Country Life\nSince Uppark was built in 1690 its landscape setting of woodland and open parkland has changed little. By contrast, its immediate surroundings have responded to changing tastes and fashions as new owners took residence.\nThe earliest depiction we have of Uppark's gardens comes from 1703 and the time of the Earl of Tankerville. An engraving by Johannes Kip shows a formal layout with walled gardens, rectangular courtyards, and ornamental parterres, complete with the original approach to the house from the east past the pair of service blocks.\nLord Tankerville's House and Formal Gardens 1707 by Johannes Kip\nIt's not clear if this image records the gardens as they were or merely an ambition that was never realised, but today little evidence of this layout remains.\nA sale plan drawn up in 1746 prior to Sir Matthew Fetherstonhaugh purchasing Uppark shows that little of the formal Tankerville layout had survived except for the service buildings to the east. By 1750 those too were demolished, to be replaced by the east and west pavilions we see today.\nSir Matthew's ownership ushered in a period of change both for the house and the garden. A plan often perhaps mistakenly attributed to Capability Brown appears to show many features we would recognise in today's garden, such as the flint wall and boundary, the large mound near the current golden gates, a smaller mound upon which the gothic seat was later placed, and a series of interconnecting paths.\nWas this map of Uppark produced by Capability Brown?\nAgain, it's not clear whether this document was intended as a plan of future works or a record of an existing layout.\nSir Harry and Humphry Repton\nAfter Sir Matthew's death in 1774, his son Sir Harry took over the estate and, keen to adapt Uppark to his vision of a party venue, he engaged landscape gardener Humphry Repton to make a series of alterations.\nIn 1810 Repton produced one of his famous Red Books, in which he detailed plans to relocate the entrance to the north side of the house and create a new driveway that led through the pleasure ground.\nRepton proposed relocating the driveway to the north side\nReproduced with kind permission of the Meade-Fetherstonhaugh family / Photo: National Trust\nA visitor's eye would first have been drawn by the large Coade urn, a two-thirds scale copy of the Borghese Vase now on display in the Louvre, and placed high on the mount so as to be visible from outside the flint wall. The mount itself is thought to be an ancient burial mound, from the top of which the nearby bronze age settlements of Kingley Vale can just been seen on the skyline.\nThe book detailed plans for other intriguing features such as a series of colonnades linking the house to the service buildings, an informal cottage garden, and a more formal rose garden with pergolas similar in style to the Game Larder, although no evidence survives to suggest these were ever implemented.\nNot all of Repton's proposals were carried out, such as the addition of colonnades to make the house appear larger.\nRepton's book makes little mention of planting at Uppark, with the driveway plans identifying an area merely as the \"flower garden to remain.\" However, in 1812 he and Sir Harry discussed the idea of a Linnaeus flower clock, an arrangement of plants whose flowers would open and close at particular times of the day from which the time could be roughly established, although difficulty in achieving any precision forced the pair to conclude \"therefore we must give it up.\"\nFollowing a visit to Uppark in 1815, Repton wrote that \"in no place have I ever seen such accurate attention to olfactory joy as at Uppark. Every room has its depot of odours for permanent use while every window has its Orange Trees and Tuberoses and admits perfume from the surrounding beds of Mignionette and Heliotrope till the whole is an atmosphere of sweets.\"\nHe also remarked how pleased he was that, in contrast to some country estates, Uppark welcomed strangers to enjoy its beautiful surroundings, and that \"even the house itself throws open its doors to the inquisitive.\"\nThe alterations made during the Repton era are often considered the garden's zenith, leading to the Trust's decision to present Uppark as a product largely of the Regency period.\nOrdnance survey maps reveal how some features were lost over time, such as the truncation of the east half of the circuit path by 1911. Others had been added, for example the seasonal bedding scheme laid out in front of the east pavilion as photographed by Country Life in 1910.\nSeasonal bedding scheme in front of the east pavilion circa 1910.\nNational Trust / Country Life\nDuring the Meade-Fetherstonhaugh's ownership work took place to halt the garden's decline, but by the time Uppark was conferred to the National Trust in 1954, much of the serpentine paths had been lost.\nThe storms of 1987 and 1990 resulted in the loss of 80% of Uppark's mature trees, including the specimen beech along the north driveway. These were subsequently replaced with Acer platanoides, while new shelter belts were planted to offer protection from the drying, salt-laden winds.\nStarting in the early 1990s a series of island beds were created in the east lawn. Although not original to Uppark they were intended to be representative of Repton's style and used plants available during his time. These were subsequently removed in 2017 as part of a project to portray a more historically accurate representation of the gardens as they would have been during the time of Repton and Sir Harry.\nDiscover more at Uppark House and Garden\nExplore Uppark House and Garden\nHumphry Repton at Uppark\nMany have heard the name Lancelot 'Capability' Brown, once described as \"England's greatest gardener,\" but less well known is that of Humphry Repton.

        "raw_content": "NBC ActivateNBC Sports ActivateSupport\nNBC Sports is about to launch a daily national radio show that will be based on sports gambling. With this, NBC has become the latest media company to broadcast betting. If the reports coming out from the company\u2019s headquarters is to be considered, then the gambling coverage will be broadcasted from Washington\u2019s Studio in Bethesda. The host for the show will be Michael Jenkins and Tim Murray, who currently hosts D.C. Sports Live and SB Nation Radio respectively. Tim also hosts Navy Football.\nThe upcoming show is going to tap on the biggest daily sports topics, but the entire focus will be on gambling angles, line movements to point spreads. Sharps and oddsmakers will be presented as guests. It is going to be great fun for those who are betting, hosting and watching the broadcast on the TV.\nThe show is produced in conjunction with Westwood One, and it is going to air from 2-7 ET every weekday. The show will also broadcast on NBC Sports Radio app along with a bunch of radio affiliates of the company in the US. In 2019, \u2018The Daily Line\u2019 is set to simulcast on a few regional sports networks of NBC that includes Washington as well.\nAll this could have only been possible after the historic Supreme Court ruling in which it overturned an old law that restricts sports wagering to Nevada. Now, many other states have legalized sports gambling and accepted sports wagers. In the upcoming months, many more states will consider bills to legalize gambling, so an interesting move is taking place in the US right now in the field of gambling.\nWhile the regulation framework is still gloomy, some senators have introduced a bill that is going to create federal guidelines for sports betting. There are many media companies that are vying for that spot where they are allowed to cover the burgeoning industry.\nYou will be surprised to know that the Vegas Sports and Information Network daily broadcasts live from a casino based in Las Vegas, whereas Fox Sports 1 airs half an hour of gambling show every afternoon.\nNBC Sports Vice President, Mr. Rob Simmelkjaer has told the reporters that they have been thinking about ways on how to engage more and more fans in this space. There are lots of ways to cover sports gambling, but they have to find the perfect way that will definitely bring great results for the network.\nHowever, the comments of Murray and Jenkins are slightly different, i.e., they want their show to appeal more to casual bettors.\nBoth believe that it is important to have casual conversations with the sports fans because that\u2019s what will help build a good fan base across the country.\nJenkins has been associated with NBC Sports Washington for past 15 years now, and he has some of the most memorable moments of his life with NBC Activate Sports team. But, he will now move to the new radio show, whereas his old show, i.e., \u2018D.C. Sports Live\u2019 is going broadcast on NBC Sports Washington with Travis Thomas.\nWhereas Murray, the other host with Jenkins has been working with NBC Sports Washington for past 4 months and will continue to offer his services to the company as a co-host of its Nationals Podcast by the name of \u2018The Racing Presidents\u2019.\nD.C.

        "raw_content": "The Tail that Wags Dogs\nby\tMichael McDevitt\nThis essay explores how Taiwan has been able to seize the political initiative from the three great powers in Northeast Asia\u2014China, Japan, and the United States.\nOne of the fascinating aspects of the existing relationship between Taiwan, the People\u2019s Republic of China (PRC), Japan, and the United States is the degree to which the Chen Shui\u2013bian administration in Taipei has managed to seize the political initiative and put the three great powers of Northeast Asia in a reactive mode. Unfortunately, the way by which a small nation of only 23 million people has been able to accomplish this feat of diplomatic jujitsu is by stoking the coals of Taiwanese nationalism on the island to a point just short of crisis with the PRC. Washington and Tokyo have not been amused by the willingness of Taipei to play diplomatic \u201cchicken\u201d with Beijing because the stakes of a miscalculation by Taipei, Beijing, or both are so high for all concerned. The purpose of this paper is to explore this volatile situation and consider alternatives that could break the cycle of Taiwanese \u201cprovocation\u201d eliciting great power response.\nThe main argument is that Taiwan\u2019s leverage is derived from four interrelated factors, which are examined respectively in the first four sections of the paper:\nStrategic considerations stemming from Taiwan\u2019s geographic position in Northeast Asia lead Tokyo and Washington to prefer the status quo, while leading China to strive for reunification. The increasing power of the People\u2019s Liberation Army (PLA), however, is making both Japan and the United States nervous of China\u2019s intentions to change the status quo.\nShared democratic values and the fact that the \u201cdemocracy issue\u201d has greatly prolonged the timetable for reunification give Taipei political influence in both Washington and Tokyo.\nChina\u2019s constant threats of force actually empower Taipei in its relationship with Washington, and cause the United States to plan for the worst.\nTaiwan is a litmus test of U.S. credibility as an ally, which in turn creates a perception on the island that U.S. military backing can be relied upon unconditionally. The United States should work to ensure that America\u2019s position in the region and its value to Asian nations as the balancer against China would survive a Taipei\u2013provoked conflict should the United States choose not to become directly involved. Washington can strive to achieve this by undertaking extensive consultations with Japan designed to ensure that Tokyo does not lose confidence in Washington and that the U.S.\u2013Japan alliance remains strong.\nWhile Taipei has been effective in drawing the United States into a de\u2026\nTaiwan: The Tail that Wags Dogs",

A single access to the site would be created off New Road.\nHowever, despite the land being included in West Berkshire Council\u2019s list of preferred development sites, members of Newbury Town Council\u2019s planning and highways committee felt the proposals would be an overdevelopment.\nThe area of green space between Newbury and Greenham has undergone significant development recently, with yet more houses in the pipeline as a number of already approved applications await construction.\nSpeaking at a committee meeting on Monday evening, leader of Newbury Town Council Adrian Edwards (Con, Falkland) listed a range of reasons why the development should not go ahead.\n\u201cFirstly, the loss of green space,\u201d he said.\n\u201cIt\u2019s already well developed this area and the number of houses going on it is an overdevelopment.\n\"Then there\u2019s the amount of traffic on New Road which will eventually lead on to the racecourse area. And the last one is, I\u2019m concerned about the drainage, so I object to it on those grounds.\u201d\nThe site is the third identified in West Berkshire Council\u2019s development plan document (DPD) for the area between Greenham and Newbury.\nThe council approved plans, submitted by Rivar, for 157 homes to the east of Newbury Retail Park, between Equine Way and Greenham Road, earlier this year.\nBefore voting on Mr Edward\u2019s proposal of objection, committee chairman Anthony Pick (Con, St Johns) reminded members that the site was part of the DPD. However, members voted unanimously to object to the application.\nIn its application, Rivar said that the scheme would \u201csecure major community benefits, in addition to making an important contribution to meeting the district\u2019s future housing requirements\u201d.\nThe combined schemes in the area would also deliver a comprehensive development scheme to an area \u201cwhich has suffered from incremental planning and piecemeal development that has steadily eroded its character and identity\u201d.\nThe proposals, which will be decided on by West Berkshire Council in the coming weeks, have so far garnered seven letters of objection.\nTo view the application enter 17/02524/FULEXT into West Berkshire Council\u2019s planning website.",

        "raw_content": "Prison time turns W.Va. man from addict to counselor\nFAIRMONT, W.Va. (AP) \u2014 While a lifetime of bad decisions and mistakes can lead some down a path to self-destruction, Bill Dickey found himself crawling right back up that road late in life.\nDickey's bad decisions would eventually lead to his own arrest and imprisonment, and maybe it was because his past life was so rough, but he remembers his arrest as the best possible outcome.\n\"Being in jail was probably the best thing that ever happened to me,\" Dickey said. \"You'd think being married would be the best day, graduating college two times would be. Mine was going to prison, and forcing me to look at myself for the first time. I had to take responsibility for the decisions I was making.\"\nThough his past was rife with the results and consequences of all these bad decisions, being imprisoned would overall help Dickey put a stop to this behavior, and the self-hatred it made him feel.\nThat's because they don't give you access to pills, opiates and other drugs in prison, which had been a few of Dickey's biggest vices since he was in high school.\n\"Thank God I ended up in jail,\" Dickey said. \"That was like a long-term rehab for me. I started going to 12-step programs, they made you do that.\"\nDickey was in prison from 2005 to 2007. Now at the age of 54, Dickey has been sober for more than 10 years and uses his experience from overcoming his addictions to help others do the same, guiding 12-step recovery programs in Fairmont, including at the Day Report at the Courthouse Annex. He provides desperate individuals with the support that he himself once received to get out of his situation.\n\"One of the things I teach guys today is that your best thinking got you there, your best thinking can't get you out of it,\" Dickey said. \"You have to get help from another source.\"\nDickey explained that addictions like these don't come overnight, and in his case, develop because of personal and mental issues that manifest in childhood.\nSpeaking of his own experience, Dickey said he was introduced to drugs like alcohol in his childhood. Leading up to this introduction, his home life did not provide him with a healthy developmental environment, to say the least.\n\"We learn most from the same-sex parent,\" Dickey said. \"How to be a man, how to treat women, that aspect I never had that. My father never had a job for very long because of his alcoholism. So i grew up in fear \u2014 scared to death of people.\"\nDickey said he never felt any sign of affection in this household, and his mental state would never be reassured in any kind of loving way.\n\"I didn't have anybody to bounce off of, I didn't have any support whatsoever as far as teaching me things,\" Dickey said.\nAs he grew up and into high school, Dickey's teen years would see this lack of support grow into self-destructive behavior in the name of mental relief, which would come in the form of drugs.\n\"I was kind of lost and didn't have the ability to overcome that,\" Dickey said. \"When I did drugs or if I drank I felt normal, like I fit in somewhere.\"\nDickey explained that he would still get by in high school and even college and grad school while using, and even employed his same methods in the military to continue his lifestyle.\n\"I would party on the weekends, I would do that for years,\" Dickey, who said he served in the military from 1986-1988, said.\nThough he was already exhibiting some self-destructive behavior through drugs and alcohol, it wasn't until he was forcibly introduced to opiates that he began their consumption.\n\"I was in a car wreck, which messed my back up and shoulders up and for the first time in my life I took pain pills,\" Dickey said. \"I didn't even really know what they were. I'd heard of them but I didn't realize the addictive quality they had. Before too long I was doing a script a week.\"\nBut from just looking at Dickey and the place he was in life at this point, no one would ever think to detect his reliance on these substances, nor the less-than legal methods of obtaining them.\n\"I had already had my Master's degree in rehab counseling and teaching degree from Fairmont State,\" Dickey said. \"I was kind of the odd person out as far as addictions go. Even when I was in prison they would say 'What are you doing here?'\"\nOnce he was hooked on prescribed opiates, Dickey found no trouble in keeping them supplied for consumption, which he said is one of the biggest problems in the modern drug climate. He cited a loophole which individuals can exploit in cash clinics as one of the biggest problems.\n\"It was so easy,\" Dickey said. \"There was a time you could send paperwork down to Florida, and they would send you your pills. I would contact three or four of those different companies and give them the same paperwork... and all three would send me pills.\"\nDickey would be arrested in 2005 for the distribution of opiates, as he would use a cut of his own supply to make money to buy more.\nThe programs Dickey went through in prison would be the ones to help him recognize and reverse some of his biggest personality defects, which he admitted were his cockiness and frustration.\n\"I had to become the best version of myself,\" Dickey said. \"That meant I had to learn about what was causing me to make bad decisions.\"\nThe recovery road was difficult for Dickey, especially when it came to opening up and recognizing his own faults. But this would also play into his reintroduction to the working world, and he now runs a private practice and has a contracting job with the state Department of Corrections.\nIn addition to finding his calling through his rehabilitation, Dickey was also able to care for his father-in-law and mother in his and his wife's home in recent years, which would not have been possible in his previous state.\n\"My father-in-law got ill and we moved him in downstairs and we took care of him until he passed,\" Dickey said. \"My mother had a stroke right after that and we had to move her in. If I was still out there doing the things I did I wouldn't be able to help them and take care of them.\"\nComing back from his life of addiction and abuse has made Dickey concerned for others who are currently or potentially heading for a worse fate than his own. His main goal now is preventing drug and opioid-related deaths, by working with individuals in rehab programs and relaying his story.\nMoreover, he wants to be the support for the ones who need it, just as he received support in his time of crisis.\n\"I'm using my teaching degree, I'm using my counseling degree for good,\" Dickey said. \"Most people who are addicts have similar faults and similar defects and come out of similar situations, so if I can help people identify those and turn all the negativity into positivity, that's what my goals are today.\"\nInformation from: Times West Virginian, http://www.timeswv.com",

        "raw_content": "Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease Commences Series of Historical Papers\nJournal of Nervous and Mental Disease, Insane Asylum Reform, Psychiatric Reform\n1878 Call for Asylum Reform Still Has Echoes for Psychiatry Today\nNewswise \u2014 Philadelphia, Pa. (August 29, 2011) \u2013 In the late nineteenth century, reform of insane asylums was a hotly debated topic that pitted two emerging medical specialties\u2014psychiatry and neurology\u2014against each other, according to a historical paper presented and discussed in the September issue of The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease. The journal is published by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, a part of Wolters Kluwer Health.\nThe historical article and accompanying commentaries are the first in a series commemorating the 200th volume of The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease, America's oldest continuously published independent psychiatric journal. The series will reprint articles from each decade since JNMD began publication in 1874, along with expert commentaries setting the historical papers in a contemporary context. While some of the historical topics may seem \"quaint and archaic,\" the issues they raise are still relevant today, according to Dr. John A. Talbott, Editor in Chief of JNMD. Contentious Debate over 'Insane Asylum Reform'The first paper in the special series was written by Dr. Edward C. Spitzka in 1878, amidst a tumultuous debate over the operation of insane asylums. \"We may not call them asylums anymore but the reform of the public mental health system is as critical today as it was in 1878,\" writes Dr. Talbott in an introductory editorial.\nSpitzka was a leading neurologist whose address to the New York Neurological Society was a furious attack on the country's insane asylums. At the time, the medical superintendents of insane asylums were psychiatrists\u2014or, in the terminology of the day, \"alienists.\" Spitzka accused the asylum superintendents of a wide range of malfeasances: from lack of accountability to sloppy recordkeeping to inhumane treatment of patients. The superintendents countered that the neurologists were ignorant of the nature of insanity and the practical challenges of operating an asylum.\nA key objection was that the asylum superintendents were standing in the way of a scientific approach to understanding insanity\u2014including the ability to perform autopsy examinations of the brains of insane patients after death. Spitzka urged a long list of reforms, including limited use of restraints, improved conditions for patients, and accurate recordkeeping. More than a Century after Reforms, Psychiatry Still Faces Many of the Same IssuesWere Sptizka's charges against psychiatry justified? In a commentary, Dr. Jeffrey Geller of University of Massachusetts Medical School presents an overview of the state of psychiatry in 1878 to address that question. He concludes that, while there were major shortcomings in the infant science of psychiatry, the \"alienists\" of the era were well aware of them, and were \"engaged in all manner of deliberations about important issues of the day relevant to the practice of psychiatry.\"\nSptizka's call for reform was far from the end of the controversy over insane asylums, or of the tensions between psychiatry and neurology. In an accompanying article, Dr. Kenneth J. Weiss of University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine discusses an 1894 address by famed neurologist Silas Weir Mitchell\u2014who leveled many of the same charges against the insane asylums.\nMitchell's critique of the asylum and asylum doctors for their \"isolationism and backward ways\" is regarded as a landmark moment in the history of psychiatry. But from a historical perspective, Dr. Weiss believes that Mitchell's speech was more a reflection of changes that were already in the air. He writes, \"Although Mitchell is often credited with delivering psychiatry a wake-up call, it is equally feasible that he was merely channeling the organic reforms from within the profession.\"\nDr. Geller notes that the issues with which alienists were grappling\u2014such as competing interests of the patient and society, outside interference with psychiatric practice, lack of funding in the face of high demands for treatment, and stigma associated with psychiatry and psychiatric patients\u2014were not that different from the problems facing psychiatry today. \"In fact, to an absolutely remarkable degree, the issues of 1878 are the same as those of American psychiatry in the twenty-first century,\" Dr. Geller adds. \"That might say much more about psychiatry than Spitzka could ever have known 133 years ago.\"\nAbout The Journal of Nervous and Mental DiseaseFounded in 1874, The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease is the world's oldest independent scientific monthly in the field of human behavior. Articles cover theory, etiology, therapy, social impact of illness, and research methods.\nAbout Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Lippincott Williams & Wilkins (LWW) is a leading international publisher for healthcare professionals and students with nearly 300 periodicals and 1,500 books in more than 100 disciplines publishing under the LWW brand, as well as content-based sites and online corporate and customer services.\nLWW is part of Wolters Kluwer Health, a leading global provider of information, business intelligence and point-of-care solutions for the healthcare industry.

But thanks to renovations, that will soon change.\nCharles Spencer, Princess Diana's brother, is helping with the plans. He told People: \"Before, we left the grave unmarked because the family knew where it was. But now we're going to have a memorial for Diana.\"\nA temple located across the lake from where Diana rests has been open for visitors to pay respects. But in recent years, some have argued that the site appeared neglected and needed an update.\nPerhaps most notable on that list of critics was the princess's former personal chef. The Telegraph reports that in 2014 he tweeted: \"Sad to see Earl Spencer has neglected Diana's resting place. Please tidy up the vegetation on the island.\"\nIt looks like that chef's wishes are coming true. The estate, built in 1508, has been in the Spencer family for 18 generations.

So their loss to the Montreal Canadiens in the postseason opener this year is just a minor obstacle.\nBoston lost 2-0 on Thursday night and tries to even the best-of-seven series at home on Saturday night.\nThe Bruins lost the first game of last year's opening series at home 2-1 to Buffalo then won the next three and eliminated the Sabres in six games. And they didn't play that badly Thursday night. They outshot the Canadiens 31-20 but got little traffic in front of the net, allowing goalie Carey Price to see the puck well.",

        "raw_content": "Finance SuccessTaxes\nOne of the most often asked questions I get is \u201cwhat is the difference between cash and accrual.\u201d Most small business owners DO NOT understand the difference \u2013 even after I explain it. It is one of the most confusing topics amongst them. So let me see if I can help a little bit.\nThe main differentiator between the two is what income is taxable and when as well as which expenses are deductible and when.\nCash basis means you record income as it is received and expenses when they are paid. Therefore all income received is taxable and all expenses paid are deductible \u2013 as long as they are business expenses. This is the preferred method for tax purposes because no one wants to pay taxes on money they have yet to receive. And as long as you are under an average of $5 million annual revenue you can use this tax method.* But this is not the preferred method for recordkeeping according to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). This method does not give you the true picture about how your business or performing.\nAccrual basis means you record your income when it is earned and you record your expenses when you are obligated to pay them. This means that if you sale a $500 product today but the customer does not pay you until next month, you still have to record the sale in this month. Instead of the sale being posted to cash, it will go to Accounts Receivable. The same thing applies for a vendor bill. If you buy job materials today but don\u2019t pay your supplier until next month, you still have to record the purchase as an expense for this month. This results in more taxable income but also more deductible expenses, if your taxes are filed on an accrual basis.*Sorry you cannot stay cash basis forever.\nNow if you are a construction contractor, there is yet another method by which you may have to follow. The long term contracts method applies if your business performs services that extend over a period of more than one year. This method allows you recognize revenue and expenses at two different points (1) as a percentage of the job is completed or (2) upon completion of the contract.*\nUnderstanding the difference between these methods, allows you to make better financial decisions about your business. If you are unsure which is best for you, seek advice from your tax advisor or business advisor.\n*Please consult a tax advisor for the effects this will have on your business.\nTags: accrual basiscash basiscontractor accountingincome taxtax breaks\nPreviousPrevious post:6 SAAS Must Have Apps For Small Businesses Working in the CloudNextNext post:Playing The Business Growth Game",

        "title": "Does Cheaper Natural Gas Mean Cheaper Electricity? - NJ Spotlight",
        "raw_content": "Does Cheaper Natural Gas Mean Cheaper Electricity?\nTom Johnson | January 30, 2012\nOther factors -- including high capacity prices and congestion -- could offset any savings.\nFor the fourth consecutive year, falling natural gas prices may lower the cost of the electricity delivered to most of the state's businesses and residents, beginning in June.\nAt least that is the conventional wisdom, when the state Board of Public Utilities holds its 11th annual electricity auction this week, the vehicle officials have chosen to ensure New Jersey's four electric utilities have the power they need to keep the lights on for their customers.\nIt is no sure thing, however, that those savings will result in any meaningful cuts in electric bills. Other factors, such as increased transmission costs, high capacity prices, and congestion on the power grid, could offset much of the savings, if not all.\n\"I'd like to see more than last year,\" said Stefanie Brand, director of the Division of Rate Counsel. \"It's transmission, it's capacity, it's the whole mix that could offset those drops [in natural gas],\" she said.\n\"We've been seeing reductions in gas bills,\" Brand noted. \"I'd like to see a drop [in electricity], but whether we will see it I just don't know.\"\nIn recent months, the state's gas utilities have repeatedly offered customers credits on their bills because of falling natural gas prices, a result largely due to discovery of new deposits of the fuel in the Marcellus Shale formations in neighboring Pennsylvania and New York. New Jersey Natural Gas this past week said it would give its half-million customers a $33 million credit on their bills, effective in February.\nAdding to the uncertainty of the auction is a report issued last week by the U.S. Energy Information Agency, which sharply scaled back estimates of how much natural gas is underground in those formations.\nThe online electricity auction, which begins Thursday, determines the bulk of the price most residents and small businesses will pay for the electricity they use. With the breakup of electric monopolies more than a decade ago, the BPU only regulates the cost of delivering electricity to the home or business. The cost of producing that power, about two-thirds of a typical customer bill, is unregulated.\nFor ratepayers, however, the small savings gained at the auctions -- between $4.27 per month and $5.63 per month depending upon the utility -- have been offset by other charges on their electric bills. Those charges include a much-contested tariff, which aims to encourage power suppliers to build new generating capacity. It costs consumers between $1 billion and $1.9 billion a year.\nAlso playing a role in higher electric bills is a spate of increases, while minimal, in transmission costs gained by the state's four electric utilities in recent months. For instance, Public Service Electric & Gas earlier this month won an increase that will boost customers' bills by $6.20 a year, less than one-half of 1 percent of their bill. The state's other electric utilities won increases ranging from 84 cents a year to $10.56 annually for Rockland Electric.\nOthers note the state's aggressive efforts to promote solar also have an impact in offsetting the cost of delivering electricity. The state has spent nearly $350 million in rebates in recent years to help promote the installation of solar systems, which does not include the $122 million it paid out last year to owners of solar panels for the electricity their systems produce.\nThose costs have led some retail energy suppliers to argue for changes in the way the state auction is run, saying it establishes an artificial price for electricity that makes building a competitive electricity market very difficult.\nAs it is currently run, the state's four electric utilities purchase one-third of the power they will need to supply customers. The other two-thirds of the electricity they need is purchased under contracts in the prior two years, a system that helps avert big rate spikes when fuels used to generate electricity experience volatility and soar.\nWhile that system may work well when prices are rising, it fails to deliver quick savings to customers when prices drop, as they have been in recent years. The flaw has allowed retail energy suppliers to undercut prices offered by the incumbent utilities and woo customers away from them.\nBut Jay Kooper, New Jersey chairman of the Retail Energy Supply Association, a group representing energy suppliers, argues that the system is truly not sustainable unless the state takes steps to more quickly reflect real-time market prices to customers.\n\"Whether prices rise or fall, we're indifferent so long as the BGS price [the price secured by New Jersey in the auction] reflects the true market price,\" he said. \"Under the current situation, when prices fall, you are squelching out choice.\"\nBrand said her office is open to changing the current auction from a three-year system to one involving a mixture of long-term, medium-term and short-term purchasing arrangements, but is opposed to switching to a system involving one-year contracts, a process she argued would be far too volatile.\nNew Jersey Consumers Could See Slightly Lower Electric Bills",

        "raw_content": "Apollo Training\nApollo Hardware Testing\nUnmanned Spacecraft Testing\nTracking Stations\nOther Support Facilities\nDryden Flight Research Center and Edwards Air Force Base\nnext to the Rogers Dry Lake, 1983.\n(Courtesy of NASA, NASA/Dryden Flight Research Center)\nRogers Dry Lake\nName: Rogers Dry Lake (Muroc Dry Lake)\nLocation: Edwards Air Force Base, California\nOwner: U.S. Air Force/LEEV\nCondition: Excellent, unaltered, original site\nBuilder/Architect: N/A\nRogers Dry Lake is within the boundaries of Edwards Air Force Base in California, approximately 100 miles northeast of Los Angeles. Rogers Dry Lake is part of the Antelope Valley region of the Mojave Desert and is bounded by the Soledad Mountains, the Sierra Pelona ranges of the San Gabriel Mountains, the Long Buttes, and the Tehachapi Mountains. The lake forms the lowpoint of the Antelope Valley which ranges in altitude from 2,300 to 3,000 feet above sea level.\nRogers Dry Lake is sixty-five miles square and shaped roughly like a lopsided figure-8, 12 1/2 miles long and 5 miles wide. It is a pluvial lake that was formed during the late Pleistocene Era about 2.5-million years ago. The lake is naturally flat and its surface is unusually hard and can support up to 250 pounds per square inch of pressure enabling even the heaviest aircraft to land and take off from the lake bed. The lake is dry for most of the year except for brief occasions when rainfall fills the lake bottom to a depth of a few inches.\nRogers Dry Lake has 60 miles of marked and maintained runways which are 300 feet wide. Its broad expanse of hardened clay surface forms the largest natural landing field in the world.\nRogers Dry Lake is the primary resource associated with and responsible for the establishment of Edwards Air Force Base and the Dryden Flight Research Facility. Edwards AFB is the world's premier flight testing and flight research center. Both Edwards and Dryden have had a profound impact on the development of aerospace technology and military security. It is precisely the presence of the natural attributes of clean air, isolated location, ideal weather, variable terrain, and the large expanse of dry lakebeds that first attracted the Army to the Rogers Dry Lake in 1933. These natural assets enabled the military and later the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to flight test aircraft that were on the cutting edge in aviation and aerospace technology. Starting in 1947 with the flight of the Bell X-l, the first plane to break the sound barrier, to the landing of the Space Shuttle Columbia in 1981, Rogers Dry Lake has been the scene of the most important developments in the history of aviation.\nRogers Dry Lake area was little more that a watering stop for the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad until 1910 when the Corum family settled near the lake. [1]\nClifford Corum, his wife Effie, and his brother Ralph were homesteaders and were the earliest known settlers of this region. Seeking to attract others to the area they built a combination store and post office. Effie drove the family buggy across the scorching desert seeking the necessary signatures for a petition that would officially give the Corum name to their post office. When the Postal Department rejected the name because of its similarity to another California town, the Corums persisted in immortalizing their name. They decided to reverse the letters in Corum and the name Muroc was born.\nMuroc was first used by the military in 1933 when a small advance party from March Field in Riverside came to design and maintain a bombing range for the Army Air Corps. Four years later, the entire Air Corps was performing bombing and gunnery maneuvers here.\nAt the outbreak of World War II, the south end of the lake was used for training P-38 Lightning fighter pilots, and B-24 Liberator and B-25 Mitchell bomber crews.\nBombing practice targets included a realistic 650-foot model of a Japanese Navy heavy cruiser, dubbed the \"Muroc-Maru.\" Pilots and bombardiers used the \"ship\" for strafing, identification, and skip bombing practice. The Muroc-Maru passed from landmark to legend in 1950 when it was \"sunk\" as a flight hazard by Army engineers, who first had to rid the hull of unexploded bombs.\nIn February 1942, Col. Benjamin W. Chidlaw and Lt. Col. Ralph P. Swofford of the Materiel Center at Wright Field, Ohio, on an extended tour of the western United States, chose Muroc Dry Lake as the ideal location to test the new \"super secret\" Bell-built XP-59 jet airplane.\nLater, negotiations with the Muroc Bombing and Gunnery Range commanding officer, Maj. Glen L. Arbogast, resulted in assignment of a portion of Muroc Dry Lake north of the Santa Fe Railroad for exclusive use of the Materiel Center personnel who had been directed to proceed to Muroc, California, to take charge of the \"Materiel Center Flight Test Site.\" In September 1942, America's first jet arrived at Muroc by rail. While it was being readied for its first flight, a wooden propeller was attached to the nose of the aircraft to disguise its jet propulsion. The XP-59A made its first flight October 1, 1942.\nAs tests of the XP-59A progressed, it became apparent that the location was ideal for testing aircraft. In addition to a climate assuring 350 days a year flying weather, the dry lake was a ready-made emergency landing field for experimental aircraft.\nFrom December 1942 the base was called the Materiel Command Flight Test Base. In 1944 it was redesignated the Muroc Flight Test Base. In October 1946 the Muroc Flight Test Base on the north end of Muroc Dry Lake and the Bombing and Gunnery Crew Training Base on the south end of the dry lake merged into a single flight test facility at Muroc Army Air Field under the jurisdiction of the Air Materiel Command.\nMuroc Army Air Field was redesignated Muroc Air Force Base in February 1948 and became Edwards Air Force Base in February 1949 in honor Capt. Glen W. Edwards. A native of Lincoln, California, Captain Edwards had been killed June 5, 1948, during a performance test of a YB-49 \"flying wing\" experimental jet bomber. Official dedication of the newly named Edwards AFB took place January 27, 1950.\nThrough the years, Edwards has been the focal point for testing and evaluating aircraft concepts and designs and has contributed directly to the improved combat capability of the Air Force. Many aerospace \"firsts\" have occurred in the skies above Edwards. Capt. Charles E. Yeager became the first man to break the once-feared sound barrier. He accomplished this feat October 14, 1947, in the Bell X-1 experimental rocket plane. This led directly to the development of the supersonic Century Series of fighter aircraft beginning with the F100 Super Sabre.\nThe three X-15s, the world's fastest and highest flying winged aircraft, were tested from 1959 until 1968. Knowledge gained from their 199 flights in the research program hastened the day of the United States manned space and moon flights.\nThe second X-15, now on display at the Air Force Museum, Wright-Patterson AFB, Dayton, Ohio, set an unofficial world speed record of 4,520 mph October 3, 1967. The X-15s reached altitudes of more than 67 miles. Other test projects have included the XB-70A triple-sonic Air Force research aircraft, the F-111A supersonic variable sweep-wing jet fighter, the X-13 vertical take-off and landing airplane, and the C-5A Galaxy cargo aircraft.\nAfter the X-15, the Air Force-National Aeronautic and Space Administration (NASA) research partnership turned to a different kind of experimental rocket craft--a specially contoured, wingless vehicle called the lifting body.\nNot designed for speed like the X15s, the lifting bodies were shaped to fly both as a spacecraft and a wingless airplane. They were tested to determine their qualities for an extended near-earth flight and for conventional runway approach and landing. The knowledge gained from the lifting body research has aided in the development of the space shuttle.\nThe shuttle eliminates costly \"throw-away\" boosters and ocean splashdowns. Edwards AFB was the prime landing site for all space shuttle tests and development flights. During the entire life of the space shuttle program the desert base, with its uniquely qualified large drylake bed, will continue to be a contingency landing site on any orbital mission.\nThe natural resource of Rogers Dry Lake has made possible the successful development and testing of generations of American aircraft leading to the Space Shuttle today. Because of this association with the History of American Aviation the Rogers Dry Lake is uniquely qualified for designation as a National Historic Landmark.\n1.

        "raw_content": "Omega-3 rich diet could protect against brain aging: Study\nRelated tags: Omega-3 fatty acids, Docosahexaenoic acid, Eicosapentaenoic acid\nHigh intake of the omega-3 fatty acids docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) could help protect the aging brain, according to research.\nThe new data \u2013 published in Neurology\u200b\u2013 suggests that a diet lacking in omega-3 fatty acids could cause the brain to age faster and lose some of its memory and thinking abilities. The researchers, led by scientists at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA),USA, revealed that middle-aged and elderly adults who regularly consume foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids could slow the mental decline that leads to dementia \u2013 noting that those with the highest blood levels of DHA and EPA were more likely to perform well on tests of mental functioning and to experience less age-related brain shrinkage.\nThe authors said that whilst previous research linking dementia risk with the omega-3 fatty acids had looked at in blood plasma, which reflects how much people had eaten in the past few days, their current work estimated the amount of omega-3 participants had consumed over the last few months by looking at how much had built up in red blood cells.\n\"People with lower blood levels of omega-3 fatty acids had lower brain volumes that were equivalent to about two years of structural brain aging,\"\u200b explained study author Dr Zaldy Tan of UCLA.\nIn particular, Tan and his colleagues concluded that low DHA levels in red blood cells \u201care associated with smaller brain volumes and a \u2018vascular\u2019 pattern of cognitive impairment even in persons free of clinical dementia.\u201d\u200b\nIn the new study, over 1,500 dementia free participants \u2013 with an average age of 67 \u2013 underwent MRI brain scans. The group were also tested to measure mental function, body mass, and the omega-3 fatty acid level in their red blood cells was sampled.\nTan and his colleagues found that people with DHA levels in the lowest 25% of the participants (the bottom quartile) had lower brain volume compared to people who had higher DHA levels. They said that the brain volume was enough to make people in the bottom quartile\u2019s brains appear two years older than those of people in the top three-quarters.\nThe researchers added that participants with levels of all omega-3 fatty acids in the bottom quartile also scored lower on tests of visual memory and executive function, such as problem solving and multi-tasking and abstract thinking.\nBrain scans also showed signs of less blood supply in the brains of people with the lowest omega-3 levels. Tan suggested that this may mean DHA plays a role in promoting general health of blood vessels in the brain in a similar way to how the omega-3\u2019s are suggested to be aid heart health.\nHealthy brains\u200b\nThe new study adds further weight to previous research that suggests beneficial health effects of omega-3 fatty acids on the brain.\nLast year Dr Rob Winwood of DSM Martek Biosciences explained to NutraIngredients how up to 15% of the brain by dry weight was made up of pure DHA. \u201cOne of the things we know is as you get older you lose DHA from the brain \u2013 so it would seem to make some sense that you might want to replace it,\u201d\u200b he suggested.\nSource: Neurology\u200b\nVolume 78, Number 9, Pages 658-664, doi:10.1212/WNL.0b013e318249f6a9\u200b\n\u201cRed blood cell omega-3 fatty acid levels and markers of accelerated brain aging\u201d\u200b\nAuthors: Z.S.

        "raw_content": "Mexico hits 3 generals with corruption charges for protecting Sinaloa cartel\nAlfredo Beltran Leyva, known as \"El Mochomo, is escorted through Mexico City Airport in 2008. Three Mexican Army generals have been arrested for allegedly protecting him. Beltran was allegedly in charge of transporting drugs, bribing officials and laundering money for the Sinaloa drug cartel, led by Mexico's most-wanted alleged drug lord Joaquin Guzman. (Eduardo Verdugo/ASSOCIATED PRESS)\nMEXICO CITY \u2014 Mexican prosecutors formally filed drug charges Tuesday against four high-ranking army officers, including three generals and a lieutenant colonel.\nThey are the highest-ranking Mexican army officials arrested in at least 15 years, and allegedly provided protection for the Beltran-Leyva drug cartel. They were detained in May and have been held under a form of house arrest.\nThe Attorney General's Office said charges of \"organized crime to further drug trafficking\" were lodged against retired generals Tomas Angeles Dauahare and Ricardo Escorcia, as well as active service Gen. Roberto Dawe Gonzalez. Retired Lt. Col. Silvio Hernandez Soto faces the same charge.\nThe office did not mention specifics of the case lodged against the four along with an army major. But charged in the same case is U.S.-born drug trafficker Edgar Valdes Villarreal, alias \"La Barbie,\" who worked for the Beltran Leyva cartel until it began to break up with the death of leader Arturo Beltran Leyva in a 2009 shootout with marines.\nThe investigation against them the officers is based on a case from 2009, the Attorney General's Office said.\nThe previous highest-ranking army official arrested was Gen. Jesus Gutierrez Rebollo, then head of Mexico's anti-drug agency, who was arrested in 1997 and later convicted of aiding deceased drug lord Amado Carrillo Fuentes.\nPresident Felipe Calderon named Angeles Dauahare as assistant defense secretary in 2006. He left the post in 2008, when he retired.\nDawe Gonzalez was assigned to a military base in the western state of Colima.\nEscorcia retired from active service in 2010 after reaching mandatory retirement age, but previously served as head of the military base in Cuernavaca, a city just south of the Mexican capital that has been considered Beltran Leyva territory.\nArturo Beltran Leyva was killed in a shootout at an apartment complex in Cuernavaca in 2009. Mexico's marines were reportedly called in to look for the capo after its army appeared to be slow to act on U.S. intelligence indicating the drug lord's location, according to a leaked U.S. Embassy diplomatic cable from late 2009.\nAngeles Dauahare's lawyer, Alejandro Ortega, said the general told his wife shortly after his arrest that he is being accused of taking money from associates of Valdez Villareal, who was allegedly top hit man for Beltran Leyva. Valdez Villareal was arrested in 2010.\nOrtega said his client denies the charges, and supports himself with an army pension and a house and an apartment he owns. He said the general's wife also owns a house she inherited.\nA few senior military officers have been arrested for alleged links to traffickers during Mexico's long struggle to control the cartels.\nRetired Gen. Juan Manuel Barragan Espinosa was detained in February for alleged links to organized crime and Gen. Manuel Moreno Avina and 29 soldiers who were under his command in the town of Ojinaga, across the border from Presidio, Texas, are being tried on charges of torture, homicide, drug trafficking and other crimes.\nMore than 47,000 people have been killed in drug violence since Calderon deployed thousands of soldiers to drug hotspots, according to government figures.\nAlso Tuesday, Mexico's Navy reported it had killed six suspected members of the Zetas cartel in the Gulf coast state of Veracruz. The Navy said its personnel was raiding a suspected cartel house when men armed with assault rifles and grenades emerged, and engaged Navy ground forces. Five other suspects were detained.",

        "raw_content": "Music|Hildegard Behrens, Soprano Acclaimed for Wagner, Is Dead at 72\nHildegard Behrens, Soprano Acclaimed for Wagner, Is Dead at 72\nBy ANTHONY TOMMASINI AUG. 19, 2009\nThe German soprano Hildegard Behrens, a mesmerizing interpreter of touchstone dramatic soprano roles like Wagner\u2019s Br\u00fcnnhilde and Strauss\u2019s Salome during the 1980s and early \u201990s, died on Tuesday in Tokyo. She was 72 and lived in Vienna.\nHer death was announced by Jonathan Friend, the artistic administrator of the Metropolitan Opera, in an e-mail message sent to associates and released to the media by Jack Mastroianni, director of the vocal division at IMG Artists and her former manager.\nMs. Behrens fell ill while traveling to a festival in Kusatsu, a Japanese resort town, to present master classes and a recital, and was taken to a hospital in Tokyo on Sunday night. She died there apparently of an aneurysm, Mr. Friend wrote.\nMs. Behrens\u2019s ascent into the demanding Wagnerian soprano repertory was uncommonly fast after starting her career late. She did not begin vocal studies, at the Freiburg Academy of Music, until she was 26, the same year she graduated from the University of Freiburg in Germany as a junior barrister, having initially chosen law as a profession.\nHer debut came in Freiburg in February 1971, the month she turned 34, in a lyric soprano role, the Countess in Mozart\u2019s \u201cNozze di Figaro.\u201d Her voice at the time was rich and flexible, and she might have continued on a lighter repertory path. But the shimmering allure and power of her sound and the intensity of her singing led her inexorably to Wagner.\nIn her prime she was a complete vocal artist, a singer whose warm, textured voice could send phrases soaring. Her top notes could slice through any Wagner orchestra.\nHer technique made heavy use of chest voice, an approach that would eventually take a toll on her singing. Many purists argued that Ms. Behrens was no born Wagnerian. Her voice lacked the penetrating solidity of a Kirsten Flagstad or the clarion brilliance of a Birgit Nilsson.\nYet with her deep intelligence, dramatic fervor and acute emotional insights, she made her voice do what the music and the moment demanded. A beautiful woman with dark hair and a slender athletic frame, she was a poignant actress capable of fits and temperamental flashes onstage.\nShe was riveting as Wagner\u2019s Isolde, a role she recorded with Leonard Bernstein conducting; Senta from \u201cDer Fliegende Holl\u00e4nder\u201d; and, especially, Br\u00fcnnhilde.\nShe learned the three Br\u00fcnnhilde roles of Wagner\u2019s \u201cRing\u201d cycle (in \u201cDie Walk\u00fcre,\u201d \u201cSiegfried\u201d and \u201cG\u00f6tterd\u00e4mmerung\u201d) simultaneously, because she thought of the cycle\u2019s four operas as an entity, an organic operatic drama. Her first Br\u00fcnnhilde came with a complete \u201cRing\u201d at the Bayreuth Festival in Germany in 1983, the production conducted by Georg Solti. It was a triumph for Ms. Behrens, which she repeated for the next three summer seasons there.\nShe sang the role when the Met opened its 1986-87 season with \u201cDie Walk\u00fcre,\u201d the first installment of Otto Schenk\u2019s production. In the spring of 1989 she sang in the Met\u2019s first presentation of the complete Schenk \u201cRing,\u201d which was designed with her in mind. The production was retired this May.\nHildegard Behrens in 1999. Credit Axel Zeininger/European Pressphoto Agency\nBetween her Met debut as Giorgetta in Puccini\u2019s \u201cTabarro\u201d in 1976 and her appearances as Marie in Berg\u2019s \u201cWozzeck\u201d in 1999, she sang 171 performances with the company, including Leonore in Beethoven\u2019s \u201cFidelio,\u201d Elettra in Mozart\u2019s \u201cIdomeneo\u201d and the title roles in Strauss\u2019s \u201cSalome\u201d and \u201cElektra.\u201d She sang the title role in Puccini\u2019s \u201cTosca\u201d opposite Pl\u00e1cido Domingo in the premiere of the popular Franco Zeffirelli staging introduced in 1985, a production later broadcast on public television.\nStill, Br\u00fcnnhilde became her Met calling card. She appears in the company\u2019s DVDs of the Schenk \u201cRing\u201d \u2014 recorded mostly in 1990, when she was at her dramatic and vocal peak \u2014 with James Levine conducting. The release affectingly captures her uncommonly feminine and thoughtful portrayal of this rambunctious character.\nYet Ms. Behrens\u2019s move into Wagner was an act of will that took a vocal toll. By the mid-1990s, when she was approaching 60, her singing became ragged, with dicey pitch and strident top notes. Ms. Behrens drew criticism from many opera buffs and reviewers during this period. But she was determined to sing her chosen roles with uncompromising intensity, whatever the cost.\nHildegard Behrens was born on Feb. 9, 1937, in Varel, Germany, west of Hamburg, the youngest of six children. Both her parents were doctors, and her father was an avid amateur musician. As a child Ms. Behrens studied piano and violin and had a natural singing voice. Commenting on her musical upbringing in a 1983 interview with The New York Times, she said, \u201cNobody cared for me, and I had no expectations.\u201d Hence her drift into law school.\nHer true talent did not emerge until well into her vocal studies in Freiburg. In 1972 she joined the Deutsche Oper in D\u00fcsseldorf. She was discovered there by the powerful conductor Herbert von Karajan, who recruited her to sing Salome at the Salzburg Festival in Austria in 1977. The experience was exasperating for the determined Ms. Behrens: Karajan insisted that a nonsinger perform Salome\u2019s Dance of the Seven Veils. Still, her performance was acclaimed and led to a landmark recording.\nIn the 1983 interview Ms. Behrens explained that she knew from the beginning that she would become a dramatic soprano, and that her slow start was an advantage.\n\u201cI consider my career to have had a fantastic logic,\u201d she said, adding, \u201cNow I realize that all that time I spent at the conservatory allowed me to evolve as a musician.\u201d\n\u201cIt was like playing a role out in my mind, before I actually did it. Even today I can think through a part, and my throat will subconsciously assume all the correct positions without my actually having to sing.\u201d\nBy the early 1980s Ms. Behrens was such a major Met artist that she considered her loft in Chelsea home; she lived there at the time with her two children. Ms Behrens\u2019s children, Philip Behrens of Munich and Sara Behrens Schneidman of Vienna, survive her, along with two grandchildren. She was married for a time to the German director Seth Schneidman, who directed her in several productions.\nMs. Behrens saw no divide between acting and singing. \u201cMusic for me comes out of the dramatic context,\u201d she said in a 1997 interview with Opera News. \u201cI have never had the temptation to view the voice as a fetish. For me it\u2019s just a vehicle. I cannot consider it as some kind of golden calf.\u201d\nIn 1990, while performing in the \u201cRing\u201d at the Met, Ms. Behrens sustained a severe injury when a piece of scenery fell on her during the final scene of \u201cG\u00f6tterd\u00e4mmerung,\u201d the dramatic climax in which the Hall of the Gibichungs collapses. A beam of plastic foam and canvas stretched over wood fell prematurely and knocked Ms. Behrens to the floor, bruising her forehead and blackening her eyes. She had to miss subsequent performances. In a statement at the time, she said that if the beam had not struck her she might have taken a fatal fall into an open shaft created by a premature lowering of part of the stage floor.\nMs. Behrens was not an artist who looked back at decisions with regret, including her early choice of law school. She found helpful connections between law and opera.\n\u201cYou go step by step in law,\u201d she said in the Opera News interview, \u201cand that\u2019s what you do in opera too \u2014 finding motivations, reasons, cause and effect, emotions, guilt, responsibility. The intellectual training and discipline that it takes to solve a juridical case are very good for the approaches to a role.\u201d\nA previous version of this obituary misspelled the surname of Hildegard Behrens's daughter. She is Sara Behrens Schneidman, not Scheidman.\nA version of this article appears in print on , on Page B12 of the New York edition with the headline: Hildegard Behrens, German Soprano Acclaimed for Wagner Roles, Dies at 72.

        "title": "The Danger of an Attack on Piracy Online - The New York Times",
        "raw_content": "Media|The Danger of an Attack on Piracy Online\nThe Danger of an Attack on Piracy Online\nTHE MEDIA EQUATION JAN. 1, 2012\nBy invoking the acronym SOPA right at the get-go, I may be daring many of you to check the next column over for something a little less chewy. After all, SOPA, which stands for Stop Online Piracy Act, sounds like a piece of arcane Internet government regulation \u2014 legislation that entertainment companies desperately care about and that leaves Web nation and free-speech crusaders frothing at the mouth. The rest of us? What were we talking about again?\nSOPA deals with technical digital issues that may seem to be a sideshow but could become crucial to American media and technology businesses and the people who consume their products. The legislation is the rare broadly bipartisan piece of apple pie. The House Judiciary Committee is expected to resume hearings on it this month and all indications are that it will approve the measure, setting up a vote in the full chamber. The Senate is also expected to vote on its own version of the bill when it returns from the holiday break.\nRather than launch into a long-winded argument about why the legislation is a bad idea \u2014 it is, as currently written \u2014 I thought it might be worthwhile to boil SOPA down into a series of questions.\nA NONEXISTENT PROBLEM? Hardly. Regardless of what Web evangelists tell you, SOPA is an effort to get at the very real problem of rogue Web sites \u2014 most operating from overseas \u2014 offering illicit downloads of movies, music and more. The Motion Picture Association of Americacites figures saying that piracy costs the United States $58 billion annually.\nMark Elliot, an executive from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said in a letter to The New York Times that such piracy threatened 19 million American jobs. Those figures surely include some politically motivated hyperbole, but anybody who has spent time around a twentysomething consumer knows that piracy is a thorny fact of life for content companies.\nIn an effort to stanch the flow, on Oct. 26 Representative Lamar Smith, Republican of Texas, introduced the legislation that has come to be known as SOPA. The Senate version, called the Protect IP Act, is seen by tech companies as less onerous because it targets domain name providers and ad networks and not Internet service providers. Both bills seek to create remedies to pirated content because most of the foreign-based sites operate outside of the United States\u2019 legal system.\nWOULD IT FIX THE PROBLEM? Probably not, and even if it made some progress toward reining in rogue sites, the collateral damage would be significant. Under the terms of each proposed bill, the federal Department of Justice, as well as copyright holders, could seek a court order against a Web site that illegally hosts copyrighted content and then wall off the site permanently.\nUnder the House version, private companies would be allowed to sue Internet service providers for hosting content that they say infringes on copyright. That represents a very big change in the current law as codified in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which grants immunity to Web sites as long as they act in good faith to take down infringing content upon notification.\nWHY ALL THE ALARM? The bill has exposed a growing fracture between technology and entertainment companies. Digitally oriented companies see SOPA as dangerous and potentially destructive to the open Web and a step toward the kind of intrusive Internet regulation that has made China a global villain to citizens of the Web.\nEntertainment companies think that technology companies are aiding and abetting thieves on a broad scale, but the legislation is alarming in its reach, potentially creating a blacklist of sites and taking aim at others for unknowingly hosting a small fraction of copyrighted material. In a joint letter to Congress, Google, Facebook, Twitter, AOL, Yahoo, eBay and many other companies made it clear that they perceived a broader threat in the effort to thwart pirate sites.\n\u201cWe support the bills\u2019 stated goals \u2014 providing additional enforcement tools to combat foreign \u2018rogue\u2019 Web sites that are dedicated to copyright infringement or counterfeiting,\u201d the letter read, which was published in a full page ad in The Times.\n\u201cUnfortunately, the bills as drafted would expose law-abiding U.S. Internet and technology companies to new uncertain liabilities, private rights of action and technology mandates that would require monitoring of Web sites.\u201d\nLaurence H. Tribe, the noted First Amendment lawyer, said in an open letter on the Web that SOPA would \u201cundermine the openness and free exchange of information at the heart of the Internet. And it would violate the First Amendment.\u201d\nYou can see why big Internet guys are upset by SOPA. Maybe you and I should be, too.\nWHY THE POLITICAL SUPPORT? Various amendments intended to tone down SOPA or limit its damage were voted down by large majorities in the House Judiciary Committee in mid-December, an indication that the indignation of various constituencies on the Web is having little impact.\nThat\u2019s partly because entertainment companies have deep and long-lasting relationships inside the Beltway. Maplight, a site that researches the influence of money in politics, reported that the 32 sponsors of the legislation received four times as much in contributions from the entertainment industry as they did from software and Internet companies.\nThere is also a cultural divide at work, according to Yancey Strickler, one of the founders of Kickstarter, a Web site that helps raise funds for creative projects, and a critic of SOPA.\n\u201cThe schism between content creators and platforms like Kickstarter, Tumblr and YouTube is generational,\u201d he wrote in an e-mail. \u201cIt\u2019s people who grew up on the Web versus people who still don\u2019t use it. In Washington, they simply don\u2019t see the way that the Web has completely reconfigured society across classes, education and race. The Internet isn\u2019t real to them yet.\u201d\nThe debate has highlighted how little Congress knows about the Internet they are proposing to re-tool. In a piece often cited on the Web, the computer culture journalist Joshua Kopstein watched the debate in Congress in which members bragged about their online ignorance, and he wrote an open letter on the technology Web site Motherboard titled, \u201cDear Congress, It\u2019s No Longer O.K. to Not Know How the Internet Works.\u201d\nWhether they know what they are doing or not, lawmakers seem intent on moving forward.\nCongressional supporters of piracy legislation have been in a big hurry because the Web is starting to come alive with opposition \u2014 nearly 90,000 Tumblr users have phoned members of Congress and more than a million people have signed an online petition protesting the legislation.\nLast week, in a much talked about blog post, Declan McCullagh of CNet speculated that even though big Web companies like Google, Amazon and Facebook are outgunned in terms of political connections, they have the capability to turn their sites into billboards denouncing SOPA and utilizing their close, constant relationship with consumers.\nI like my movies (and music and television) as much as the next couch potato, probably more. And I wouldn\u2019t steal content for any reason, in part because I make a living generating a fair amount of it. But it\u2019s worth remembering that the film industry initially opposed the video cassette recorder and the introduction of DVDs, platforms that became very lucrative businesses for them and remarkable conveniences for the rest of us.\nGiven both Congress\u2019s and the entertainment industry\u2019s historically wobbly grasp of technology, I don\u2019t think they should be the ones re-engineering the Internet. The rest of us might have to just hold our noses and learn enough about SOPA to school them in why it\u2019s a bad idea.\nThe Media Equation column on Monday, about legislative measures to curb online piracy, misspelled the surname of a founder of the Web site Kickstarter, who commented on the effort. He is Yancey Strickler, not Stickler.\nE-mail: carr@nytimes.com;\nTwitter.com/carr2n\nA version of this article appears in print on January 2, 2012, on Page B1 of the New York edition with the headline: The Danger Of an Attack On Piracy Online.

        "raw_content": "The Faber Book of French Cinema\nOffering portraits of such key figures as the Lumiere brothers, Georges Melies, Charles Pathe and Leon Gaumont, he looks at the early pioneers who transformed a fairground novelty into a global industry. The crisis caused by the First World War led France to surrender her position as the world's dominant film-making power, but French cinema forged a new role for itself as a beacon of cinematic possibility and achievement. Producing such distinctive film-makers as Jean Renoir, Marcel Pagnol, Sachy Guitry and Julien Duvivier, the French cinema's Golden Age boasted an intelligence, maturity and flair that classical Hollywood could admire but struggle to emulate. Suggesting a Gallic attitude that has always considered the cinema to be as much a cause as a business, Drazin looks at the extraordinary resilience of the French film industry during the Second World War when, in spite of the national catastrophe of defeat and occupation, it was still able to produce such classics as Le Corbeau and Les Enfants du Paradis. Finally, he traces its remarkable post-war regeneration. He looks at the seminal impact of the New Wave of film-makers - typified by Truffaut and Godard - but also at the other waves that have followed since. As he brings the story up-to-date - with Jacques Audaird's award-winning A Prophet - he seeks to capture the essence of the French film tradition and why it continues to matter to anyone who cares about the cinema.\nYou're reviewing: The Faber Book of French Cinema",

        "raw_content": "Plea deal resolves Columbus DWI case against Roby\nOn behalf of Amy Levine of Amy M. Levine & Associates, Attorneys at Law, LLC posted in Drunk Driving Charges on Friday, May 2, 2014.\nWhen addressing the issues related to a criminal charge a lot of concerns may need to be examined. By considering all the factors that may be involved with the help of an experienced attorney, it may be determined that the best option is to accept a plea agreement.\nThis is said to be the course taken by former Ohio State University football player Bradley Roby. He appeared in Franklin County Municipal Court earlier this week and pleaded guilty to a charge of physical control of a motor vehicle while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.\nHe had been facing a charge of drunk driving in connection with events that took place on April 20. According to police records, Roby was taken into custody after a witness reported that a man in a car had nearly struck a group of people on a sidewalk in the Arena District of Columbus and then passed out at the wheel. The driver, Roby, was arrested at the scene.\nPolice said he smelled of alcohol and failed a field sobriety tests, but when he took a blood alcohol breath test it registered just 0.008 percent. That's well below the 0.08 percent level at which it is illegal to drive.\nRoby also submitted to a urine test, which his attorney says police requested to check for impairment by drugs.\nRoby could have waited for the results of that test and continued to fight his case, but his attorney says that would have taken six weeks or more. He says Roby, who is considered a possible first-round pick in the NFL draft in a week, didn't want to the charge to affect his draft chances, so he pleaded guilty to the amended charge to resolve things.\nAs a result of the deal, Roby received a 180-day suspended jail sentence and must go through a three-day intervention program. He was fined $375, but retained his driver's license.\nAlso, with the agreement, city prosecutors confirm they can't file any other charges based on the urine test results, whatever they might reveal.\nSource: The Columbus Dispatch, \"Bradley Roby takes plea deal, sentenced to 3-day driver-intervention program,\" John Futty, April 29, 2014\nTags: jail sentence",

And the same goes for the area of promotion and advertising. However, a solution has been found to handle this problem and it is named \u201cSMO\u201d. SMO is also known as social media optimization.

        "title": "Bobsled athletes enjoy the vibe at FIBT World Cup Finale in Sochi - Olympic News",
        "raw_content": "Bobsled athletes enjoy the vibe at FIBT World Cup Finale in Sochi\nThe final round of the 2014/2015 FIBT World Cup was held on 14 and 15 February at the Sanki Sliding Centre in Krasnaya Polyana - the site of the bobsled, skeleton and luge competitions at last year\u2019s Olympic Winter Games Sochi 2014. According to some of America\u2019s best sliders, the area was full of tourists, spectators, and even some friendly volunteers back to help out after assisting at last year\u2019s Games.\nSpeaking to Around the Rings, Steven Holcomb, three-time Olympian and double bronze medallist in Sochi, spoke about his return to the Caucasus, \u201cRosa Khutor [the mountain village close to the sliding centre] was hopping. There were a lot of people. I had read some clippings that this place was desolate, no one is here, that it looks bad for the Russians. We got there and there were a lot of people. In fact, the few times we went out, it seemed that there were more people this time than last time. It was kind of fun to see.\u201d\nSochi Silver medallist and this year\u2019s World Cup title winner, US athlete Elana Meyers Taylor, also speaking to Around the Rings, backed up Holcomb\u2019s comments: \u201cRosa Khutor was a lot busier than I thought it would be. Our hotel was pretty much full, all the restaurants were open, and people were shopping. It was actually kind of surprising because I heard all these reports that it was empty.\u201d She continued: \u201cIt was far from empty. Gondolas were running and people were skiing, so it\u2019s kind of cool to see that the city is maintaining some level of tourism.\u201d\nThis atmosphere also extended to the World Cup itself, where the turnout was better than expected. \u201cThere were a lot of people there. Most of them were there for skiing, but there were definitely fans there,\u201d Holcomb said.\n\u201cThere actually were a lot of the same volunteers as the Olympics and they recognised me and said \u2018welcome back and congratulations\u2019, so it was cool to see,\u201d Meyers Taylor said.\nThe FIBT, along with its luge counterpart, the FIL, have both undertaken efforts to ensure that their sports continue to be practised at all the Olympic tracks around the world. This has seen both bobsled and skeleton competitions at the track this year and an FIL World Cup event take place last weekend. In 2017, Sanki will host the FIBT World Championships.",

        "raw_content": "Canada Launches A Startup Visa To Lure Entrepreneurs\nWarning to Silicon Valley and Bangalore: Canada wants to poach your entrepreneurs. The country, which already has one of the world\u2019s most open immigration policies, began accepting applications for a new visa for highly skilled entrepreneurs on April 1. Under the pilot program, foreign nationals with funding from a government-approved list of about two dozen Canadian venture capital firms or angel investor groups can apply for immediate permanent residency. \u201cIf a Canadian venture capitalist is going to invest in a startup, we\u2019d rather that business [be located] in Canada than India or Silicon Valley or somewhere else overseas,\u201d says Jason Kenney, Canada\u2019s citizenship, immigration, and multiculturalism minister.\nThe country joins a growing list of nations, including Australia, Chile, and the U.K., that have recently introduced or revamped visas designed to woo foreign entrepreneurs. Unlike Canada, most only grant permanent residency once startups can prove they\u2019re having a positive economic impact\u2014an assessment usually based on the number of well-paying jobs created.\nThe U.S. government has been unable to launch a similar program, despite numerous attempts to change how it grants visas to highly skilled immigrants. The latest is the Startup Act 3.0, legislation introduced by Senators Jerry Moran (R-Kan.), Mark Warner (D-Va.), Chris Coons (D-Del.), and Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) in February.\nThe law would create up to 75,000 visas for immigrant entrepreneurs who invest at least $100,000 in or raise that amount for their ventures. The Kauffman Foundation, a Kansas City (Mo.)-based organization that supports entrepreneurship, estimates that 500,000 to 1.6 million new jobs could be created as a result of the program over the next decade. \u201cThis can lead to tens of thousands of new startups,\u201d says Vivek Wadhwa, an academic and the author of The Immigrant Exodus: Why America Is Losing the Global Race to Capture Entrepreneurial Talent, in an e-mail. \u201cIt will do wonders for the economy without costing taxpayers a cent.\u201d\nThere is support in Congress from both sides of the aisle for policies designed to attract highly educated and skilled migrants, but the Obama administration is against taking a piecemeal approach to reform. \u201cI\u2019m very worried that if comprehensive immigration reform doesn\u2019t happen, we\u2019ve again lost time on something that we could pass,\u201d Moran says. \u201cWe\u2019re losing the battle every day for global talent. Entrepreneurs are making decisions to leave the country and go elsewhere.\u201d\nOfficials in Ottawa are trying to take advantage of Washington\u2019s slow pace. \u201cWe\u2019re very conscious of the presence of thousands of brilliant, young IT specialists and entrepreneurs in the States who are on temporary visas, running out of runway,\u201d says Kenney. \u201cMany of them have developed business concepts but can\u2019t get permanent residency in the U.S.\u201d That\u2019s why Kenney is heading to Silicon Valley in May to promote his country\u2019s new startup visa. \u201cI anticipate there might be some action for us in India as well,\u201d he says.\nCanada has allotted just 2,750 visas for entrepreneurs and their families in the first year. That\u2019s roughly 1 percent of the 257,515 permanent residencies the country granted in 2012, according to the government\u2019s preliminary tally. Kenney says he expects the program will \u201cstart relatively slowly but then extend after that.\u201d\nSource: http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2013-04-11/canada-launches-a-startup-visa-to-lure-entrepreneurs",

But with the convenience and efficiency computers add to everyday tasks comes risk. Simply put, your device\u2019s connection to outside networks creates an opportunity for criminals to access your sensitive data. For this reason, Park Bank encourages vigilance in protecting your private information.\nThe Department of Homeland Security is leading the way with the STOP. THINK. CONNECT. global online safety awareness campaign to help digital citizens stay safer and more secure online. Park Bank supports and encourages this campaign - that all Internet users be more vigilant about practicing safe, online habits; ensure that Internet safety is perceived as a shared responsibility at home, in the workplace, and throughout our communities; and transform the way the public and private sectors and the U.S. federal government collaborate to make cybersecurity a reality.\nFor more information about the STOP. THINK. CONNECT. campaign, and for tips and advice related to online safety habits, visit https://stopthinkconnect.org/tips-advice/general-tips-and-advice.\nAwareness of the multiple forms security threats take is the first step in building your defenses. Most people understand the potential damage caused by computer viruses \u2013 malicious programs buried within other applications that are able to replicate themselves and spread through networks. But there are many more types of \u201cmalware\u201d available to fraudsters intent upon mischief, or worse, theft.\nMore than any other kind of malware, viruses are one of the biggest threats computer users are facing today. Viruses are malicious programs buried within an existing program that have the ability to replicate themselves and spread from computer to computer. Viruses can generate everything from relatively harmless prank messages to commands that destroy valuable programs and data. A virus may activate immediately or lay dormant for over a year before attacking its host system. Simply opening an innocent looking email attachment may be enough bring your computer to a halt.\nBackdoors or Trapdoors\nA hidden bypass to a program's security area, a backdoor or trapdoor may be created by a programmer to expedite troubleshooting or for some other innocent purpose. But once discovered, the technique may be used by an attacker to damage, destroy or steal data. A program with a known backdoor or trapdoor may itself be considered malware.\nSpam is unsolicited email received, usually from people you don\u2019t know, that may contain advertisements, get rich quick schemes, offensive material, etc. Besides being a nuisance, unwanted email can be used by attackers as a tool for leading unsuspecting recipients to web sites where viruses, worms, spyware and other types of malware can be installed on their systems. Never respond to spam emails! If you do, you are confirming that your email address is \u201clive\u201d and could be subject to more unsolicited emails. The best way to deal with spam email is to ignore and delete it.\nSpyware is software that is unknowingly installed on a computer to collect information about a user's web-surfing habits. Some spyware is relatively harmless, designed to generate data about shopping, viewing or other habits without revealing the identities of individual users. Malicious spyware, however, may be used to capture web browsers in order to change their home pages, receive waves of pop-up ads or ignore user navigation commands.\nBotnets are a large number of \u201czombie\u201d computers that are infected by a virus or malware and commanded by an attacker. Botnets can be used to launch spam email campaigns, viruses or DDoS (distributed denial of service) attacks on web sites for either amusement or extortion purposes. A zombie computer is a compromised computer connected with the Internet that is used under remote direction. Typically, the owners of these zombie computers are not aware that their system is being used for this type of activity.\nThis is a hidden program that captures and records every computer key stoke entered by a user. Once the keystrokes are logged, they are tucked away in the computer for retrieval at a later date, or sometimes the information is transported directly to the intruder. This is highly useful to an intruder because it will help them find passwords and other useful information that will enable them to attack and compromise a system.",

        "raw_content": "White Lodging Services confirms second payment card breach\nAustralia Correspondent, IDG News Service | Apr 9, 2015 8:05 PM PT\nResearchers reveal the default password for a credit card terminal\nHard Rock Hotel and Casino warns of potential payment card hack\nTarget to pay $10 million in proposed settlement for 2013 data breach\nA large hotel management company has confirmed a second payment card breach in less than 14 months, underscoring the difficulties businesses are having with data thieves.\nWhite Lodging Services said the second breach was detected on Jan. 27 after unusual payment card activity was discovered on credit cards used at four Marriott-branded hotels. The compromised data includes customer names, card numbers, security codes and expiration dates, it said in a statement.\nThe Merrillville, Indiana-based company manages hotels under agreements with hotels owners and is a separate entity from the specific hotel brands it operates.\nIn February 2014, White Lodging said point-of-sale systems at restaurants and lounges on 14 of its properties were compromised between March 20, 2013 and Dec. 16, 2013. The same systems were targeted this time around, although the company said the latest breach was not related to the previous one.\nThose affected are customers who used their cards at food and beverage outlets between July 2, 2014, and Feb. 6, 2015, in 10 hotels, which were eight Marriotts, one Courtyard and one Renaissance.\nThe property management system used to process room charges at front desks do not appear to be affected, White Lodging said.\nWhite Lodging is just one of many business, including Target, Neiman Marcus and Home Depot, which have been struck by point-of-sale malware. The malware collects payment card data immediately after a card is swiped and the details sit unencrypted in a computer\u2019s RAM.\nWhite Lodging\u2019s problems appear to be a combination of bad luck and very persistent hackers. After its first data breach, White Lodging said it hired a third-party security firm, which it did not identity, to help shore up its systems.\n\u201cUnfortunately, the security measures put in place did not stop the implantation of malware on point-of-sale systems at food and beverage outlets in select hotels we manage,\u201d it said.\nLaw enforcement has been notified, and no arrests have been made, White Lodging said. The company didn\u2019t say if it suspected the same hacker or group of hackers was behind the latest attack.\nArrests and prosecutions of suspects related to point-of-sale attacks have been rare, as many times the hackers are believed to be outside the U.S.\nWhile law enforcement agencies in different countries are cooperating with more efficiency these days, cross-border cybercrime investigations can still be slow and complicated.\nExtraditing suspects is also not possible from some countries. For example, the U.S. does not have extradition treaties with China or Russia, two nations often accused of hosting cybercriminal activity.",

        "raw_content": "H.A. Thompson ProScan\nFounder H.A. Thompson and his son, Andy, began the family owned and operated company in 1985 with three employees servicing the Charlotte, NC, area. The company has now grown to over 80 employees and is the leading ground transportation provider in the Carolinas. In 2008, the company received the Operator of the Year award, a national award given by LCT Magazine.\nH.A. Thompson built his company on testimonial letters and the celebration of extraordinary service; however, the company had these seven critical challenges:\nHow to effectively hire. The revolving door of turnover was too costly. For years, employee turnover averaged one third of their staff.\nNot being able to understand or motivate existing employees was challenging daily operations.\nCommunications were painful; the perception between the managers was harming internal operations.\nCompany-wide moral was suffering from the core management team operating from personal silos.\nThere were some rough edges within the personalities of the management team that created sensitive outbursts and common drama.\nThe operations manager had been described as harsh and insulting. He had so many good attributes and qualities, and much potential, but he seemed to leave a trail of offenses behind him that included vendors, consultants and employees.\nAn expensive General Manager/CFO put more focus on sales calls than on operations and finances.\nThe business had prospered and developed an exceptional reputation, but sadly Rose Chauffeured Transportation was comparable to most businesses when it came to hiring and managing people. Turnover was draining the profitability, and worse yet, it was not being addressed. The company was good with understanding high quality service and transportation, but didn\u2019t understand the people component. They knew the importance of their people, but were not aware of a system that could accurately measure their behavior. Understanding their current employee base and hiring new people was the missing ingredient in the \u201csuccess recipe.\u201d The day-to-day operations were wearing down the company spirit and Thompson, at age 76, needed a miracle. In his words: \u201cPDP\u200a\u2026\u200ashowed me how to do it better.\u201d\nTo recover the full management potential of the leadership team and establish authenticity.\nTo establish effective, honest communications and establish trust within the organization.\nTo hire more effectively, to reduce employee turnover and to improve the quality of operations.\nTo improve employee morale and job satisfaction.\nTo reduce stress for the owners and to bring fun back into the business.\nFeedback Sessions: The project was initiated with the management team and the owners when PDP Representative, Don Crosby, began facilitating personal feedback sessions. Each session averaged thirty minutes to an hour depending on the depth of conversations.\nTeam Session: After the personal feedback sessions, the process lead into a three-hour team workshop to open up the group to provide individual and group dynamics. Uncovering the behaviors of each of the team members enabled each team member to better understand themselves and each other\u2019s behavioral styles, energy, stress and trait perceptions.\nDeveloping Effective Communication Skills PowerApp workshop: With the intention of improving communications, Don facilitated the workshop for about fifteen minutes before he stopped and announced that this was probably the last day that he would be working with Rose Chauffeured Transportation. Everyone was surprised and wondered why, so he simply shared that if there was not going to be considerate participation, there was no need for the company to waste their investment of time and finances going through the actions. This seemed to work, because the workshop finished with some measure of success and the project continued.\nTraining Certification: The Human Resource Manager was certified in the PDP Integrated Management System, and the company invested in a PDPworks Gold account.\nAssessed Employee Base: Every individual in the company experienced their personal ProScan reports as an employee benefit so they could better understand themselves.\nEmployee surveys were handed out to each employee to measure overall job satisfaction. The surveys measured the level of respect they felt, what they liked most and least about their jobs and collected any suggestions for changes in the organization.\nEmployee Meetings: A short employee meeting was conducted for each group to thank them for participating and to discuss the outcomes, so that they felt their contribution mattered.\nEmployee and Management Consultation: Frequently and randomly a variety of people related challenges and issues would surface isolating core problems with certain employees and within the management team. One-on-one sessions and small team meetings were applied to reduce and eventually eliminate the major problems.\nMediation: One morning came the pivotal point that would cause the operations manager to end his five-year career with the company. There were heated conversations between the general manager and the operations manager that caused the owners\u2019 involvement. As a consequence, the decision was made to release the operations manager. The decision was approved very quickly by the remaining managers. The owners were extremely frustrated, but the operations manager was committed to stay with the company.\nDuring several discussions back and forth Don was able to get a new commitment from the operations manager and a verbal agreement from the owners to provide him one last chance, called the Last Dance. This was clearly the end of the road and it was up to the transformation of behavioral modification to succeed.\nManagement Consultation: The General Manager/CFO was terminated in December 2010 based on performance and behavior, this reduced a high overhead and the example was sent to the rest of the company as the owner was serious in making his company successful, without exception.\nThe Operations Manager was salvaged in an incalculable transformation. Rescuing this potential mis-hire saved the company a minimum of $110,000. In addition, in losing this key person the workload would have severely cost the company emotionally, as well as financially. One year later, he has earned the respect of almost everyone in the company.\nEmployee morale is at an all time high, the company has never been busier and it appears that people are better tolerating situations that would have caused far more drama in the past.\nManagement and operations are stabilized and better prepared to handle the increase in sales. This is key, for if operations were not stabilized, the company could have never sustained the growth.\nThe company has advanced to become an employer of choice, rather than just another employer.\nOwner H.A. Thompson has the reward of witnessing his employees develop into serving the company\u2019s clients as he\u2019s always imagined, and the company relationships have produced a true working team.\n\u201cI worked 34 years in the corporate world before embarking on an entrepreneurial career. I knew managing a small business would be a challenge. I\u2019ve used consultants successfully. Don Crosby of Global Behavior is absolutely the best at handling and dissecting the faulty communication dynamics of any business, and improving hiring procedures. He never offends and his positive approach removes the barriers and obstacles we all encounter. The results have been no less than amazing.\u201d\nH.A. Thompson, President & Founder\nRose Chauffeured Transportation",

Working in partnership with the Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks and the Pershing Square Park Advisory Board, our team will use these resources to further enliven our square. The program is designed to do this by creating opportunities for people to come together and forge a more socially, culturally, and economically vibrant heart of the city. This community-driven activation process is called placemaking, and it requires participation from people like you!\nAs Designers Prepare to Present Visions, Southwest Airlines \u201cHeart of the Community\u201d Grant Fuels Effort to Re-Imagine Park As Downtown\u2019s Hub of Innovation, Connection\nLos Angeles (April 13, 2016) \u2013 Today, Pershing Square Renew, Southwest Airlines Co. (NYSE: LUV) and Project for Public Spaces announced a joint initiative that will bring community-based placemaking efforts to Pershing Square, LA\u2019s oldest and most revered public park. Located adjacent to Downtown LA\u2019s Historic Core, Jewelry District, Bunker Hill and Civic Center the park covers an entire city block and hosts farmer\u2019s markets, concerts, and an ice rink. A catalytic grant, valued at $200,000 including monetary and technical support, from the Southwest Airlines Heart of the Community program will support Pershing Square Renew, a public-private partnership initiated by Councilmember Jos\u00e9 Huizar, in its work to revitalize this key public space in the heart of Los Angeles. The grant will help bring the new Pershing Square to life now by involving a range of community partners in planning and activation\u2014demonstrating the power of placemaking to connect people and strengthen communities.\nThe grant comes just days before the four finalists selected in an international design competition will present their long term visions for Pershing Square in a public event at the Downtown Palace Theater on April 28, 2016. For more information on the event, please see http://bit.ly/psrenew.\nThe Southwest Airlines Heart of the Community program focuses on placemaking, a movement that is revolutionizing cities around the world by boosting community participation in the creation, design, and unique programming of public spaces. Southwest Airlines believes that public spaces, whether neighborhood parks, small plazas, or downtown squares, are the true hearts of communities, as the places where people gather, connect, and enjoy each other and the cities they live in. The placemaking process highlights the capacity for underperforming spaces to achieve their greatest potential by becoming vibrant, authentic, functional, and well-loved places that will benefit the community socially, culturally, and economically for years to come.\nBy bringing community members and local organizations together around building a shared vision for the park, Pershing Square Renew will strengthen connections between people and the park. This is a core element of the placemaking approach -- when many voices are included in the transformation of a public space it generates a greater sense of belonging and helps to create a place where everyone feels welcome and comfortable.\n\u201cPershing Square is our city\u2019s best opportunity to demonstrate the power of placemaking as a strategy for empowering our community,\u201d said Eduardo Santana, Executive Director of Pershing Square Renew. \u201cThe Heart of the Community grant will help Pershing Square reclaim its rightful place as the city\u2019s favorite gathering place.\u201d\n\u201cOne of the objectives my office has worked on in a rapidly growing Downtown Los Angeles is increased placemaking as a way to identify and promote our distinct Downtown communities and landmarks,\u201d said Los Angeles City Councilmember Jos\u00e9 Huizar. \u201cSouthwest Airlines\u2019 support will help us achieve those goals at Pershing Square where we are reimagining and re-envisioning the City\u2019s oldest park so that thousands upon thousands of Angelenos and visitors can rediscover this City of Los Angeles' treasure.\u201d\nLos Angeles is among five communities that are receiving similar grants today selected out of a highly competitive pool of more than 90 applicants, from 60 cities.

        "raw_content": "Home Uncategories Philippine World War-2 Tunnel of 32 Chambers makeover Bid to Boost Tourism\nPhilippine World War-2 Tunnel of 32 Chambers makeover Bid to Boost Tourism\n32 Chambers 2.44 Kilometer Philippines - World Wa-II heritage Tunnel in the Fort Bonifacio (Bonifacio Global City) Taguig\nRecognizing the need to preserve heritage and raise people's awareness of history, the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) yesterday said plans are now afoot to develop and rehabilitate the little known Fort Bonifacio tunnel in Taguig which saw action during World War II.\nBCDA President and CEO Arnel Paciano Casanova said the planned conversion of the war tunnel into a heritage site will also contribute to the country's tourism industry.\nCassanova said the project will also greatly to contribute to the people's understanding and appreciation of the history of the former military camp, Fort Bonifacio, now known as the Bonifacio Global City (BGC).\nThe BCDA and the Fort Bonifacio Development Corporation (FBDC) are joining hands to develop the old military structure, which was first dug up by Igorot miners in the early 1900s upon the directive of General Douglas MacArthur, who had served as military adviser to former President Manuel Quezon.\nCurrently, the BCDA said they are looking at the structural integrity of the tunnel and sustainability of the project.\n\"Preserving the heritage of Fort Bonifacio and incorporating its heritage and history in the development of BGC is what makes BGC a cut above other cities,\" said Cassanova.\n\"Bonifacio Global City is the fastest growing commercial, business, and residential district in the country today. It is the home of passionate minds. Equally important is the rich history that is incorporated in Bonifacio Global City's development \u2013 giving it a soul,\" he added.\n\"We are also preserving our heritage site and this is part of our contribution in raising the awareness of our people on the contribution of our armed forces, particularly our soldiers in preserving the freedom and the liberty and democracy in this country,\" said Cassanova.\nThe Fort Bonifacio Tunnel, an underground passageway located in the eastern portion of BGC, dates back to the American colonial period when it was first constructed during World War II to serve as military headquarters and storage of war supplies.\nThe original tunnel's length was about 2.24 kilometers with 32 built-in chambers and two passable exits, one leading to Barangay Pembo and the other to Barangay East Remo.\nToday, amid the rapid development of Bonifacio Global City, a 730-meter segment of the tunnel remains unaffected, existing underneath the C-5 Road, with its opening near Market! Market!\nCassanova said the Fort Bonifacio war tunnel will position the country as a bastion of freedom and democracy in the whole of Asia and bring honor to Filipino soldiers who sacrificed their lives to fight for such freedom.\n\"We have a rich and fascinating history on the Filipino's struggle for freedom and independence,\" Casanova stated, adding that \"such struggle has left historical artifacts that remind us how our forefathers fought for the freedom we now have. Some of these artifacts, such as the Fort Bonifacio Tunnel, are beneath the ground we walk on everyday.\"\nThe conversion of the Fort Bonifacio tunnel into a heritage site is foremost seen to promote appreciation of Fort Bonifacio's history \u2013 from the time of the American colonial period to the time of the implementation of the Bases Conversion Program, which gave rise to world-class communities like the Bonifacio Global City (BGC).\nCassanova likewise pointed out that the conversion of the tunnel into a heritage site will contribute to the country's tourism, which Cassanova said, plays a significant part in stimulating economic growth.\n\"Along BGC's world-class development, BCDA plans to rehabilitate, develop and convert the old tunnel into a historical site in BGC that will showcase the city's rich and unique heritage as a former military baseland,\" said the BCDA president.\nThe war tunnel which most Filipinos are not aware of... this has been a tunnel that served the Philippine military since the time of the Commonwealth and up to the World War II so that the city, the Bonifacio Global City, would have a sense of history and culture and heritage and also honor our soldiers,\" he added.\nHistory of the Philippine World War 2 Tunnel\nFirst dug up in 1936, a year after the establishment of the Philippine Commonwealth, the Fort Bonifacio war tunnel was envisioned to serve as Mac Arthur's headquarters and as a stockroom for war supplies.\nWhen World War II broke out on 1941, Mac Arthur however did not use the tunnel as planned. And with the surrender of Filipino and American troops following the fall of Bataan and Corregidor, Japanese forces took over the tunnel, which was expanded with an additional exit outside of Fort Bonifacio (then Fort William McKinley) all the way to Villamor Airbase (formerly Nichols Airbase).\nTo further develop the tunnel, the Japanese employed forced labor among Formosans, Taiwanese, and Filipinos.\nWith the liberation campaign in 1945 and the end of World War II, American troops used flame throwers to flush put Japanese troops who hid in the tunnel.\nA briefing paper given by the BCDA to defense reporters said that even a year after the war, Japanese troops were still said to be coming out of the tunnel and that some of them were gunned down by Filipino soldiers who were strategically positioned at the exits of the tunnel.\nIn the mid-70s, Maj. Gen. Fortunato Abat, then the Army chief, initiated upgrading of the tunnel by having it cemented. This was done by the Army's 51st Engineering Brigade. It was also during that time that the Task Force Greater Manila undertook diggings in the tunnel in search for \"hidden treasures.\"\nIn the 80s, the historical significance of the tunnel as part of the Philippine Army museum and library complex was recognized. Rehabilitation and face-lifting was done on the tunnel, which was formally opened to the public for viewing in 1989.\nWith the advent of the Bases Conversion Development Plan, the Army moved to preserve and retain the PA museum complex to include the tunnel.\nHowever, with the issuance of Administrative Order 269 \"Confirming the Adoption of the Fort Bonifacio Master Development Plan\" by then President Fidel V. Ramos, historical structures and sites in Fort Bonifacio were demolished despite representations made by the Department of Tourism (DOT) and the National Historical Institute (NHI).",

        "raw_content": "Philly DA Larry Krasner disinvited to speak at Yale Law conference after Mumia Abu-Jamal appeal\nby Diane Mastrull and Tom Avril, Updated: February 2, 2019\nPhiladelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner\nThe student organizers of a Yale Law School conference have rescinded their invitation for Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner to serve as keynote speaker, citing his decision to appeal a judge\u2019s ruling in favor of convicted cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal.\nA judge ruled in December that Abu-Jamal could reargue an appeal before the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, and Krasner\u2019s office appealed that ruling Jan. 25.\nPhilly DA\u2019s Office appeals judge\u2019s ruling on Mumia Abu-Jamal\nJudge grants Mumia Abu-Jamal partial appeals request\nThe Philly DA\u2019s office promised an aggressive Conviction Integrity Unit. Judges have pushed back.\nKrasner was to be one of four keynote speakers later this month at the Rebellious Lawyering (RebLaw) conference, which is described on the group website as a forum to \u201cdiscuss innovative, progressive approaches to law and social change.\u201d\n\u201cWe cannot understand how DA Krasner\u2019s decision in this case serves justice or the transformative vision that he ran on,\u201d organizers wrote in a letter made public Friday night. \u201cWe also hear and deeply appreciate the voices of ... law students and activists calling on us to take action in response.\u201d\nIn addition to withdrawing Krasner\u2019s slot as keynote speaker, the organizers also urged the district attorney to drop his appeal of the December decision by Common Pleas Court Judge Leon Tucker. The judge ruled that Abu-Jamal should be allowed to reargue his appeal because then-Chief Justice Ronald D. Castille, a former Philadelphia district attorney, did not recuse himself when Abu-Jamal\u2019s case came before the court.\nTucker, however, rejected the claim that Castille had \u201cpersonal significant involvement\u201d in his case while Castille was in the District Attorney\u2019s Office from 1986 to 1991.\nKrasner spokesperson Ben Waxman said Saturday that the District Attorney\u2019s Office had made its decision with great care.\n\u201cWe wish the student organizers a successful event and respect their passion,\" Waxman said. He said the DA\u2019s Office is \"also passionate about making carefully considered decisions that are based on the law and facts of every case. That is what we are doing now on the evolving issues in the case of Mumia Abu-Jamal and the cases of thousands of less well-known defendants. As with all legal decisions, some people will disagree, but that\u2019s not going to change what we do.\u201d\nIn their letter, RebLaw representatives said they had given Krasner the option instead to \u201cjoin activists in a conversation about the promise and perils of \u2018progressive prosecution,' including directly discussing his decision to appeal Mumia\u2019s court decision. The DA declined to take part in such a conversation.\u201d\nAbu-Jamal, 64, a former Black Panther and sometime radio reporter, is serving a life sentence for the Dec. 9, 1981, shooting death of Philadelphia Police Officer Daniel Faulkner, who was 25 when he was gunned down at 13th and Locust Streets.\nThe decision to withdraw Krasner\u2019s invitation was prompted in part by concerns from Harvard Law students who plan to attend the conference.\nOne of them, anneke dunbar-gronke, acknowledged in a phone interview that Krasner was known for \u201cprogressive prosecution.\"\nBut she said his actions in the Abu-Jamal case were at odds with the conference\u2019s name. \u201cIf you\u2019re a prosecutor who is putting people in cages, that\u2019s just not rebellious lawyering,\u201d she said.\nJudith Ritter, an attorney for Abu-Jamal, did not respond to a request for comment.\nA previous version of this article incorrectly stated that conference organizers had invited Abu-Jamal to replace Krasner as keynote speaker.",

        "raw_content": "Phillies get swept by Dodgers as bullpen fails them again\nby By Matt Breen, STAFF WRITER, Posted: April 30, 2017\nLOS ANGELES - The Phillies arrived in Hollywood as baseball's hottest team, winners of six straight games, and showing signs that they might be able to keep up their surprising start. The weekend visit - which ended Sunday with a 5-3 loss to the Dodgers - may prove to be what spoils their season.\nThe Phillies were swept for the second time this season as their bullpen collapsed for the second straight day. Jeanmar Gomez allowed a three-run homer to Andrew Toles in the sixth that sealed the team's fate. The former closer's ERA ballooned to 9.64. The magic Gomez found last year - when he racked up 37 saves - is gone. He is now a pitcher without a role.\n\"I won't use the word 'worried.' I think I'm more concerned,\" manager Pete Mackanin said about his bullpen. \"I think we're going to get it together once our rotation is set in another week or 10 days and these guys start giving us the innings they're capable of.\"\nThe road does not get any easier. The Phillies flew to Chicago on Sunday night to play a four-game series against the defending champion Cubs at Wrigley Field. The Phillies were swept last year in Chicago, a series at the end of May that triggered a streak of 22 losses in 26 games. They'll be looking to avoid a repeat.\n\"It stinks. But at the same time we know what we're capable of,\" catcher Cameron Rupp said. \"We know we're capable of beating good teams. We showed that when we beat the Mets and Washington. We've shown that we can compete with teams, despite what people think. Today, we came back and gave them a fight until the last out was made. That's all you can ask for.\"\nThe homer allowed by Gomez wasted a strong effort from Nick Pivetta, who survived his major-league debut even though he didn't have the best command of his secondary pitches. The righthander allowed two earned runs in five innings but limited the damage by stranding six runners. He struck out five, walked one, and allowed nine hits.\nThe Dodgers scored a run in the first when Justin Turner lined a flat curveball to left. Pivetta hung a slider in the second to Chris Taylor, who bashed it for a homer to left. They were forgivable mistakes in a major-league debut. It was his response that was more important. Pivetta kept the Phillies in the game and picked up big outs when he needed to.\n\"It was all nerves,\" Pivetta said. \"It was 'Holy cow. I'm here. Now let's focus and do what you've been doing to get yourself here.' It was hard to differentiate those two things, but once I got into that fourth, fifth inning, it was good. I was good again. I was able to get ahead of hitters more. I was able to use my change-up, able to use my slider, and it felt a lot more comfortable.\"\nThe Phillies looked set to rally in the fifth when Rupp started the inning with a ground-rule double. The catcher represented the tying run but was quickly picked off second. Hyun-Jin Ryu threw a pitch high and catcher Yasmani Grandal grabbed it and fired to second to catch Rupp, who was far off the bag as Pivetta was trying to bunt him to third. It was designed play that Mackanin said he might have to try and use.\n\"Not being the speedster, I'm fighting hard to get to third base. It takes a pretty good bunt to get me there and I want to be able to get there,\" Rupp said. \"Getting that extra second, they got me. It's like, oh no. I saw it coming and I was like, there's no way.\"\nThe next two batters went down with ease. The threat was finished. And an inning later, so were the Phillies' chances.\nBy Matt Breen, STAFF WRITER",

        "raw_content": "Home > News > Practice Management > Gen X,Y Could Use More Savings Help\nPractice Management September 4, 2008\nGen X,Y Could Use More Savings Help\nYounger workers are aware of the importance of saving for retirement, but it just seems so far away, they say as they cash out their 401(k)s.\nA workplace retirement plan is the number one savings vehicle outside of an everyday savings account for those in Generations X and Y, but research from Fidelity Investments found that 40% of workers age 20 to 40 cash out of their retirement plan when they change jobs. And they change jobs much more than their Baby Boomer predecessors.\nFidelity says 20 to 40-year-olds will make up 60% of the workforce in two years, and the firm already provides workplace and retail products to 5.6 million investors in this age group. These generations need more education on the benefits of tax advantages and compound interest, said Pamela Norley, executive vice president, Fidelity Consulting Group, speaking with PLANADVISER.com. \u201cWe can do a better job as an industry on educating this group of investors on the benefits of long-term savings,\u201d she said.\nThe majority of both Generations X and Y do not think they are making good financial decisions, according to the research. In fact, the largest concern among both generations is money\u2014even before family, health, and career. Parents top the list as the main source of help for these generations (28%, Gen X; 43%, Gen Y). However, one in five is not seeking financial help at all, even from print or online resources.\nAlthough many in Generations X and Y say that saving for retirement is a priority or goal (55%, Gen X; 44%, Gen Y), they also are too bogged down in debt to save for it. About half (51%) indicated that other financial priorities are keeping them from saving for retirement, and mortgages and credit card debt are listed as higher priorities than retirement for both generations. As previous research has found, younger generations are putting retirement savings on the back burner (see GenXs Put Retirement at End of Financial Priorities)\nNorley said that the opportunity is strong for advisers to reach this segment of investors, who would like to know more about their finances. \u201cAdvisers have a big opportunity with this group if they can start relationships early,\u201d she said.\nMany younger investors think they don\u2019t matter to financial advisers because their assets are not large enough. They are slightly intimated by the idea of meeting with an adviser, Norley said. The lack of assets might be a fair reason why younger investors aren\u2019t working with an adviser, but many advisers know that reaching younger clients now means building a relationship over time. Mintel research firm found that Generation Y makes up only 5% of the client base of financial advisers (see Y Not?).\nFor retirement plan advisers, reaching out to those younger plan participants now could be critical in ensuring they have enough savings for retirement. A recent study by Charles Schwab found that 70% of all generations\u2014and 80% of Generation Y\u2014would like more financial advice from their employer (see Four Generations Agree: We Need More Advice). Generations X and Y are also open to the do-it-for-me approach, which is why Fidelity has been striving to implement autoenrollment, auto-increases, and auto-defaulting assets to the right allocation, Norley said. Research released from the Employee Benefits Research Institute (EBRI) last week found that Generation X and Y both overwhelmingly support the idea of autoenrollment (see Gen X, Y Support Autoenrollment).\nFidelity\u2019s research found that the younger generations are looking for information that is instant and simple\u2014but not necessarily just online. \u201cThey\u2019re skeptical about the information that they find online,\u2019 Norley said. \u201cThey feel they need to validate it. They\u2019re not just going to take the information off the Web sites\u2014they actually want to talk to somebody.\u201d Norley noted that while 80% of 20 to 40-year-olds deal with their financial assets over the Web, they still want their financial institution to have \u201cbricks and mortar.\u201d Although these generations are known for being tech-savvy, they appreciate the human connection and crave objectivity. \u201cThey want education, they want guidance, and they want it to be from credible sources,\u201d Norley said.\nThe Fidelity research looked at 1,200 adults, using both quantitative and qualitative research.\nTagged: Education, Participants\n\u00ab SPARK Answers Questions about 403(b) Best Practices",

        "raw_content": "Playoff-bound Cowboys eye division title\nIRVING, Texas (AP) \u2014 Some say it came from a team meeting called by Keith Brooking, who says it was a talk from Daryl Johnston. Others credit a passionate speech from third-string running back Tashard Choice.\nWhatever the source of their inspiration, something has turned around the Dallas Cowboys.\nSince opening December with consecutive losses and being written off by most people outside their locker room, the Cowboys have ripped off an impressive string of wins \u2014 ending the Saints' bid for a perfect season on a loud Saturday night in the Superdome, then going to Washington and shutting out their bitter division rival to clinch a playoff spot.\nWhich spot will be decided Sunday at home. The Cowboys can win the NFC East and secure a playoff game at their new $1.2 billion stadium by keeping their roll going and beating the Philadelphia Eagles.\n\"Our main goal this year was to finish strong and to finish together,\" cornerback Mike Jenkins said Monday. \"We're doing it.\"\nJenkins said that solidarity started with a players-only meeting held the day after a loss to San Diego that most outsiders thought would doom this club.\n\"Everybody had a chance to say what was on their minds and what was in their hearts,\" he said. \"It helped a lot, I mean, just showing that a lot of guys really have respect for each other. That Wednesday when we came back, that practice was magnificent. ... Against the Saints, we put it all on the field. Against the Redskins, we did the same thing.\"\nHowever, defensive tackle Marcus Spears gave a different version.\n\"T-Choice was the only one that talked,\" Spears said. \"He felt like it was important enough for the team to know what he had on his mind and we listened. We all left the meeting room and went about our business. But what he said was important and we needed to hear that.\"\nAnother important message came from Johnston, the hard-nosed fullback on the Dallas teams that won three Super Bowls in the 1990s.\nAccording to Brooking, Johnston spoke at a team meeting and told the club that \"seven days to humility\" was a motto his Cowboys teams used to keep themselves grounded when they were piling up wins. Several players have dropped that line into comments since he spoke, a clear indication his message got through to them.\n\"When guys who have had a lot of experience in this league, both in a positive way and in a negative way, you can lean on those guys for advice, for maybe a little bit of a spark, maybe to put things in perspective (about) what we have here, the opportunities we have in front of us,\" Brooking said. \"Just know you can't lay your head down at night and have regrets. You've got to lay it on the line because you'll never know when you're going to be in another position to do the things we can possibly do.\"\nIt's something they've all heard before. The same is probably true for whatever Choice said. Maybe it was who said it, how it was said or when \u2014 but it's obviously helped them click at the right time.\n\"I think when you have those types of meetings, it can put perspective on things for some of the young guys,\" Brooking said. \"It's not for a lack of will or want to, it's ignorance; they don't really know what it's about. You can shed some light for them and really help them out.\"\nCoach Wade Phillips referred to this club as good listeners. He also said they're handling pressure well because they've had plenty of experience with pressure this season, citing their herky-jerky 3-2 start that included alternating wins and losses and an ugly overtime victory in Kansas City, and the fact his job was widely considered in jeopardy before these consecutive victories.\n\"We've pretty much, throughout this whole season, kept it in-house, kept our goals in front of us and not really let stumbles in the road or roadblocks deter us,\" Spears said. \"It's just a positive thing. It's a positive vibe going on. Winning is the cure-all for everything.\"",

        "raw_content": "Stop The Falling\nJune 18, 2018 \u2022 by Jon Adler\n\"The way to honor the fallen is to stop the falling.\" That was the powerful statement made by former Attorney General John Ashcroft prior to his first meeting as the new chair of the board of directors of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund (NLEOMF). Ashcroft asserts that a just society must denounce the killing of any law enforcement officer and do its part to prevent such murders. He is entirely correct, but his statement challenges us to consider what can be done to stop the falling of our heroes.\nJon Adler, president of the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association Foundation.\nNLEOMF and the DOJ COPS office recently released a valuable law enforcement safety report titled, \"Making It Safer: An Analysis Of U.S. Law Enforcement Fatalities Between (2010 - 2016). According to NLEOMF researchers, \"\u2026the report contains a data-driven analysis of line of duty deaths across an array of circumstances.\" Essentially, the report sought to identify \"patterns and trends\" that would yield \"recommendations which will reduce future (officer) fatalities.\"\nInterestingly, the report studied the categories of calls for service that resulted in line-of-duty fatalities. \"Calls for officers to respond to a complaint of a domestic dispute or domestic-related incident remained the largest group that resulted in an officer fatality.\" Among the 133 officer fatalities that occurred, 29% were from calls relating to a domestic incident. The researchers observed that several officers were fatally shot prior to entering the dispatched location. They further observed that in many instances, the responding officer was alone. They concluded that it would be safer to dispatch two officers to domestic incidents. They are obviously correct, but staffing shortages can make this difficult. Clearly, departments can draw upon this research to improve officer tactics, training, and protocols.\nAdditionally, the report recognized the need to better train dispatchers on how to record and communicate critical information to the responding officer. Relevant data can equate to mental armor and provide a tactical advantage when responding to a domestic call.\nHowever, there was one statement in the report about how volatile a domestic call may become that resonated with me. The researchers observed, \"Even in the case of what is considered a routine matter, no one can predict how someone will react when dealing with an intense matter.\"\nThe word \"predict\" is what resonated with me and I don't think we should be too quick to dismiss the prospect of predicting lethal behavior. I recently saw an article about the show \"Game of Thrones.\" The headline read: \"Season 8 Deaths Predicted By Complex Algorithm.\" This means one or more mathematicians were motivated to create a computer-driven formula infused with variables to predict the deaths of fictional characters. This leads me to ask: Why can't we do the same for law enforcement officers responding to domestic disturbance calls?\nWe've seen the concept of algorithm-driven data used to empower crime mapping and predictive policing effectively. This has helped large city departments to better anticipate crime hot spots and place patrol assets in target-specific areas. This isn't psychic clairvoyant policing; rather it's algorithm-driven odds shifting.\nWe see corporate America utilize algorithm predictive models to anticipate consumer behavior. If they can predict consumer behavior with considerable accuracy, is it outside the realm of possibility that the same could be done for criminal behavior as relates to offenders involved in domestic disputes? The concept of data-driven algorithms was also advanced in the movie \"Moneyball\" to identify undervalued baseball players and maximize their potential. I think it's time for an officer-safety algorithm to better protect our officers.\nIn considering an officer-safety algorithm for domestic incident calls, I would recommend that variables associated with non-fatal attacks against officers be used as well. I think by combining the mathematical skills of an actuary with the mind of a criminal behavior expert, a police statistician, as well as the knowledge and experience of police trainers and patrol officers, we could build a computer model that may have predictive officer safety value. I'd rather try to prevent the loss of a law enforcement hero than sit back and second guess why they were injured or killed.\nA predictive officer-safety model isn't intended to replace officer tactics and training, but it could provide a lifesaving \"heads-up\" to stop our nation's heroes from falling.\nJon Adler is the president of the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association Foundation.\nRead more about Training Officer Safety NLEOMF Domestic Violence Duty Deaths Dispatchers Predictive Policing The Federal Voice John Ashcroft",

Some manufacturers offer only standard product lines for heating solutions and you might be wondering whether you should try and make do with them. On the other hand, some manufacturers provide both standard and customized products\u2014offering options that will work specifically for your application.\nStandard vs. Customized\nMost of the time, people equate standard products with invariable pricing and low cost. Conversely, people often think that customized products, like a custom heater, are certain to be time consuming to produce and costly to purchase. This preconception is a fair estimation in many cases. But it\u2019s certainly a generalization too, and it may not serve you well when considering the proper solution for your heating needs.\nNow, ask yourself these questions: If I can\u2019t find the custom approach I need for my heating problem, what am I doing alternatively? If I\u2019m doing nothing, am I risking the products, assets, or capital I wished I could protect. If I\u2019m using less-than-favorable options for heating are these options costly? Are they safe?\nA Case for Customization\nIf you answered yes to any of the above questions, then it would be a good time to assess your approach. Instead of using workarounds like straw and visqueen for insulation, or tarps and space heaters, consider using a product that is made for the job. Ready-to-ship, heating products will work in many instances. But when they don\u2019t, it\u2019s not the end of the road. Think customization.\nIf you have a unique apparatus or product that needs heating or protection from the cold, and you can\u2019t find a pre-made product to cover it, then you\u2019ll need to go with a customized solution. Find a reputable company that produces customized heating solutions that can be produced in as little as two weeks or less. Applying a custom heating solution that delivers both heating and insulation in one product through an even and regulated distribution of heat will pay for itself in the costs it saves you in no time at all.",

The opening ceremony was held in Paris on January 15\u201316, 2009. IYA2009 is scheduled to include numerous global projects and public events. The IAU also released a book and movie on the history of the telescope for this event.\nSignificance of 1609 In 1609, Galileo Galilei first turned one of his telescopes to the night sky and made astounding discoveries that changed humankind's understanding of our position in the Universe, including mountains and craters on the Moon, a plethora of stars invisible to the naked eye, and moons around Jupiter. In the same year, Johannes Kepler published his work Astronomia nova\u2014in which he described the fundamental laws of planetary motions.\nVision of IYA2009 The vision of IYA2009 is to help people rediscover their place in the Universe through the sky, and thereby engage a personal sense of wonder and discovery. IYA2009 activities take place locally, nationally, regionally and internationally. National Nodes have been formed in each country to prepare activities for 2009. These nodes established collaborations between professional and amateur astronomers, science centres and science communicators to prepare activities for 2009. More than 140 countries are already involved. To help coordinate this huge global programme and to provide an important resource for the participating countries, the IAU has established a central Secretariat and an IYA2009 website as the principal IYA2009 resource for public, professionals and media alike.\nGoals of IYA2009\nThe major goals of IYA2009 are to:\n1. Increase scientific awareness;\n2. Promote widespread access to new knowledge and observing experiences;\n3. Empower astronomical communities in developing countries;\n4. Support and improve formal and informal science education;\n5. Provide a modern image of science and scientists;\n6. Facilitate new networks and strengthen existing ones;\n7. Improve the gender-balanced representation of scientists at all levels and promote greater involvement by underrepresented minorities in scientific and engineering careers;\n8. Facilitate the preservation and protection of the world's cultural and natural heritage of dark skies in places such as urban oases, national parks and astronomical sites.\nAs part of the scheme, IYA2009 helps less well-established organizations from the developing world to become involved with larger organizations and deliver their contributions, linked via a huge global network. This initiative also aims at reaching economically disadvantaged young children across the globe and enhance their understanding of the world.\nMETEORITE International Year...",

        "raw_content": "SIA Reports March Chip Sales Grew By 4.6 Percent Month-On-Month\nThe Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) today reported that worldwide semiconductor sales in March were $23.1 billion, an increase of 4.6 percent from February when sales were $22.0 billion. Sales increased by 58.3 percent from March 2009 when sales were $14.6 billion. The first quarter of 2009 marked the low point in semiconductor sales during the global economic recession. Sales for the first quarter of 2010 were $69.2 billion compared to $43.7 billion for the first quarter of 2009. All monthly sales numbers represent a three-month moving average.\n\"Global sales of semiconductors set a new high for the month of March and were second only to the record sales reported in November 2007,\" said SIA President George Scalise. \"Healthy demand from major end markets coupled with restocking to normal inventory levels contributed to strong first-quarter growth. While we expect that 2010 sales will continue to be strong, the year-on-year growth rate will moderate going forward, reflecting the industry recovery that began in the second half of 2009.\n\"Foundries and integrated device manufacturers are ramping production to bring supply into line with expected demand levels. We do not expect to see near-term issues with either excess inventories or capacity due to strong unit demand in key end markets. Computing and communications, which together account for more than 60 percent of total demand for microchips, are seeing healthy unit growth. PC unit sales are projected to grow in the mid- to high-teens, and handset growth is expected to be in the high single-digit range.\n\"The current results reflect improved sales in a variety of market segments, including the enterprise sector where recovery has been slower than in the consumer sector. Healthy economic growth in China and growing demand for PCs and cell phones in developing economies were major contributors to growth in the first quarter. Continued growth for the semiconductor industry is closely tied to continuation of the global economic recovery. We remain cautiously optimistic that global sales will show double-digit growth in 2010,\" Scalise concluded.",

        "raw_content": "**FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE** September 5, 2017\nThe KAIROS Company for PragerU\n\u201cAmericans carry many different forms of insurance . . . [which] work well and are fairly priced. But there is one glaring exception: health insurance.\u201d says PragerU Contributor Lanhee Chen, Research Fellow at the Hoover Institution\nLOS ANGELES \u2014 In 2015, U.S. health care spending increased 5.8 percent, totaling $3.2 trillion or $9,990 a person. In 1960, the cost was just $146 per person, which when adjusted for inflation, is equivalent to $1,198 in 2017. What accounts for this dramatic increase in the cost of health care? And why does health insurance cost so much more than all other types of insurance? PragerU contributor Lanhee Chen, research fellow at the Hoover Institution, explains that American health insurance plans are not actually insurance at all, but instead have become prepaid health care plans.\nIn PragerU\u2019s newest video, Why Is Health Insurance so Complicated, Chen begins by defining what insurance actually is. As with homeowner and vehicle insurance, Americans pay a set monthly fee to protect themselves financially from unforeseen, potentially catastrophic, events. With large groups of people paying into the pool, there are enough resources to cover these incidents. However, insurance is not designed to cover routine expenses such as oil changes, brake pad replacements and getting new tires, because everyone has to do them as part of the basic maintenance of their vehicle. In other words, there\u2019s no risk.\nSimilarly, someone with two car accidents will pay more into the insurance pool than someone who hasn\u2019t been in an accident. Why? Because their track record indicates they are more likely to get into an accident in the future, making them higher risk. Higher risk individuals are required to pay increased rates for most forms of insurance.\nHealth insurance is a different story. Every health insurance provider must also cover low-risk health \u201cmaintenance\u201d expenses, such as routine doctor check-ups, making coverage more expensive and complex.\nAttempting to fix health care policies, the Affordable Health Care Act of 2010, nicknamed \u201cObamacare\u201d, only made things worse according to Chen. This proposal did two things: First, it \u201climited the variety of health insurance plans private companies could offer\u201d by requiring coverage for a set of 10 health benefits. Second, it \u201cprevented insurers from charging premiums based on the risk they were assuming.\u201d Because of \u201cObamacare\u201d, every American now pays for health insurance in order to receive every health benefit, whether they need it or not.\nThese restrictions have caused health insurance prices to skyrocket. In Arizona, health care prices have more than doubled between 2016 and 2017 alone.\nChen offers a simple solution to the health care crisis in America: Make health insurance more like actual insurance. \u201cStop making people buy plans that include things they won\u2019t use and don\u2019t want,\u201d says Chen. \u201c[And] allow health insurers to offer more options at different prices.\u201d\nAnd what about people with preexisting conditions? Chen argues, \u201cWe do what any compassionate society does. We make sure they get the medical care they need. But we don\u2019t need to upset the whole concept of insurance and make health care more expensive for everyone else to do it.\u201d\n\u201cMost Americans want to do the responsible thing and insure themselves against catastrophic health care emergencies,\u201d Chen concludes. \u201cBut with health insurance costs rising every year, being responsible is becoming more difficult.\u201d\nMEDIA NOTE: PragerU contributor, Lanhee Chen, is available for interview as is PragerU\u2019s Founder, Dennis Prager and CEO, Marissa Streit.

        "raw_content": "Fairfield plans to close two railroad crossings\nThe federal government provides grants to help fund the closures, freeing other funds for upgrades.\nBy MATT HONGOLTZ-HETLING Morning Sentinel\nFAIRFIELD \u2013 The town is considering closing two railroad crossings, which would leverage federal and state funding to fix up four other crossings in town.\nThe closure of a railroad crossing is a rare thing.\nOf Maine\u2019s roughly 800 crossings, only two have been closed in the past five years, according to Nate Moulton, director of the Maine Department of Transportation Rail Program.\nFairfield\u2019s Board of Selectmen recommended closing crossings on Willow and Elm streets earlier this month after a public hearing.\nDeputy Town Manager Cynthia Tuttle said that those two crossings were chosen in part because they lacked markers and signals, which would have made upgrading them more expensive.\nThey also have low levels of traffic relative to the town\u2019s other crossings, she said.\nClosing those two crossings will allow for the total renovation of the town\u2019s remaining railroad crossings on Burrill Street, Lawrence Avenue, Summit Street and Western Avenue, all of which have deteriorated badly.\n\u201cThis is such a good chance for the town to address a situation that has always been bad,\u201d Tuttle said.\nBecause each railroad crossing carries with it a risk of accidents, the federal government provides grants to help fund crossing closures.\nThe government\u2019s view, Moulton said, is that \u201cthe safest crossing is no crossing\u201d because it eliminates the chance of collisions.\n\u201cOnce it\u2019s closed, we can kind of agree you will never have an incident between a car and a train there,\u201d he said.\nWhile the federal government is pushing for closures, Moulton said, it is hard to identify ones that make sense for local communities.\nFairfield is ideal for closures, Moulton said, because of a network of streets that run parallel to the railroad and across it in multiple places.\n\u201cYou\u2019ve got a lot of redundancy there,\u201d he said. \u201cThat makes them a good candidate.\u201d\nMoulton said that the cost to renovate the town\u2019s four railroad crossings, in addition to a possible fifth crossing on Route 201, would be somewhere around $900,000. He said that \u201cthe bulk of it\u201d should be paid for by the federal railroad safety program, with the state responsible for any additional costs.\nFederal guidelines may require that the town contribute a small amount of matching resources, Moulton said, but that requirement could be met by providing services, such as traffic detours, that would bring the overall cost of the project down.\nThe goal, he said, would be to have no cash outlay from the town, a shift from a couple of months ago, when Moulton said out-of-pocket project costs would have to be negotiated between the town and the state.\nPan Am Railways has agreed to upgrade the railroad tracks themselves in conjunction with the projects, Moulton said.\nMoulton said that, if all goes smoothly, the crossing upgrades will happen sometime this year, although new signals won\u2019t be installed until 2014.\nAt the crossings, the panels underneath the pavement will be replaced. Moulton said the panels can last as much as 30 years, \u201cdepending on how much of a pounding they get from traffic.\u201d\nThe new pavement should last 10 to 12 years, Moulton estimated.\nMoulton said that the closings and the renovations will have to be submitted to Maine Department of Transportation Commissioner David Bernhardt for approval before they can move forward.\nThe state will hold its own public hearing on the closings at the Fairfield community center, but the date has not yet been set.\nMatt Hongoltz-Hetling can be contacted at 861-9287 or at:",

Under the right circumstances we can close loans in less than a week (and sometimes significantly faster). Don't get me wrong. If the loan isn't a good fit for private money and either the broker or borrower is slow to provide the critical pieces we need for due diligence, then it will not be possible to push a loan through overnight. On the other hand, if you bring us a good strong packet on a loan that clearly fits within our guidelines, we will put it on the fast track and make sure it gets done on time. We know that private money isn't always the cheapest option available, but we make sure to compensate for that by being the fastest option you'll find. The following is one example of an Express Loan we did recently.\nProblem: The borrower had entered into the purchase and sales agreement just ten days before the property was to be sold at auction. He had a 'firm' commitment from a private lender to finance the purchase, but just two days before the scheduled sale date, the lender backed out of the transaction. It appeared that the borrower's only option would be to persuade the bank to postpone the auction, but the bank would not budge.",

        "raw_content": "Know the Risks of Medical Tourism: Is It Worth It?\nEnglish-speaking patients are increasingly traveling to such places as Malaysia, Brazil and Mexico to save anywhere from 30 to 90 percent on medical procedures. The medical tourism market reached $10.9 billion in 2012, and according to projections by Transparency Market Research, it will grow to $32.5 billion annually by 2019.\nSome experts warn of the risks of traveling for medical procedures, however. Boston plastic surgeon Samuel Lin recalls a woman who had traveled abroad for breast augmentation. She came into his office complaining of discomfort, thinking her silicone implant had ruptured\u2014only to learn a large cloth had been left in her chest.\nSuch cases have some consumers wondering whether the risks of medical tourism are worth it. If you\u2019re considering traveling abroad to have a medical procedure performed, know the risks ahead of time so you can make an informed decision.\nA British National Health Research Institute study published in February found many consumers who traveled for medical treatment were not informed about potentially serious risks. The study found most people rely on the Internet or friends rather than hard clinical findings. They had no idea about the risks, such as a lack of legal recourse and the costs of non-emergency care back home to fix problems that arose overseas.\nThe U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) express similar concerns and cautions about other potential problems. These include language barriers, unsafe needle reuse, substandard medication, greater bacteria presence and increased risk of post-surgical blood clots after a long flight. To reduce these risks, the CDC suggests taking these preventive measures:\nCheck provider qualifications with the Joint Commission International\nGet written agreements\nPlan to have a translator available\nArrange follow-up care with your stateside physician\nIf the potential hazards are too risky for you, consider other payment alternatives:\nLast year, the Oregon Office for Health Policy Research reviewed some promising alternative payment methods that have grown more popular recently. These include bundled payments of a set amount for all services rendered during a single health care episode, shared saving incentives for providers, pay-for-performance incentives and patient-centered medical home payments. Ask your health care provider if he or she participates in any of these.\nIn November, the American Medical Association passed recommendations for payment models structured around team-based health care.\nIf you\u2019re entitled to regular payments from a structured settlement or annuity, consider selling your future payments to a company like J.G. Wentworth for a lump sum of cash now. You can then use the funds to help cover your medical expenses.\nIf you decide the risk is worth it, make sure you abide by the guidelines for safe practices issued by the American Medical Association. These guidelines stipulate that care abroad must be offered voluntarily in a way that does not limit other options. Only internationally accredited facilities should be used. Preparatory and follow-up care should be coordinated with treatment abroad and factored into coverage. Patients should be advised of their rights and informed of the risks of combining surgical procedures with long flights.\nAnd, we would be remiss if we didn\u2019t advise you to check your disability insurance policy provisions to be sure coverage would be included if you were to become disabled while out of the country.",

        "title": "Recent Cases on Sentencing",
        "raw_content": "Recent Cases on Sentencing\nThis paper is an attempt to cover some recent developments in sentencing law. It is not of course intended to cover all the recent cases law developments in this area. The focus of this paper is on cases decided after the year 2000.\n1/. \u2018Two Step\u2019 or \u2018Instinctive Synthesis\nIn a number of High Court cases two different models of the sentencing process have been championed. The first model, particularly advocated by McHugh J, is the \u2018instinctive synthesis\u2019 model, in which the sentencing judge produces the final figure after taking into account all the relevant factors. The second model is the \u2018two step\u2019 sentencing approach, praised by Kirby J, in which the sentencing judge first determines a sentence by reference to the objective gravity of the offence, and then makes adjustments to this provisional sentence to take into account other factors, in particular a plea.\nThe \u2018two step\u2019 approach was criticised by McHugh and Hayne JJ, who both gave dissenting judgments in AB v The Queen (1999) 198 CLR 111. Subsequently in Wong and Leung v The Queen (2001) 207 CLR 584 Gaudron Gummow and Hayne JJ said (at 611):\nSecondly, and no less importantly, the reasons of the Court of Criminal Appeal suggest a mathematical approach to sentencing in which there are to be 'increment[s]' to, or decrements from, a predetermined range of sentences. That kind of approach, usually referred to as a 'two-stage approach' to sentencing, not only is apt to give rise to error, it is an approach that departs from principle. It should not be adopted.\nHowever the Court of Criminal Appeal held in Sharma (2002) 54 NSWLR 300 that in New South Wales sentencing judges should continue to indicate the discount given for a plea of guilty in accordance with the guideline judgment of Thomson and Houlton (2000) 49 NSWLR 383.\nIn Markarian v The Queen [2005] HCA 25 the High Court again had the opportunity to determine the debate between the competing models. Not surprisingly, McHugh J\u2019s judgement denounced two-step sentencing, while Kirby J argued for it. The approach taken by the majority (Gleeson CJ, Gummow, Hayne and Callinan JJ) on the face of it supported the \u2018instinctive synthesis model\u2019, but seemed to accommodate the approach taken in Sharma that the discount for a plea of guilty could be made transparent. Their Honours said (at paras [38] to [39]):\nFollowing Wong benches of five judges in New South Wales in R v Sharma and R v Whyte and in South Australia in R v Place have sought to state general sentencing principles to be applied in those States. In the first two of these cases the Court of Criminal Appeal of New South Wales endorsed an approach of instinctive synthesis as a general rule but also accepted as a qualification that departure from it may be justified to allow for separate consideration of the objective circumstances of the crime. On occasions intermediate courts of appeal have however refused to find error where a staged approach has been undertaken. In Place the Court of Criminal Appeal of South Australia (Doyle CJ, Prior, Lander, Martin and Gray JJ) although it rejected a staged approach in general, made it clear that a reduction of penalty for a plea of guilty should be identified. This approach, their Honours held, was in conformity with the relevant sentencing legislation of South Australia. Following the decision of this Court in Wong it cannot now be doubted that sentencing courts may not add and subtract item by item from some apparently subliminally derived figure, passages of time in order to fix the time which an offender must serve in prison. That is not to say that in a simple case, in which, for example, the circumstances of the crime have to be weighed against one or a small number of other important matters, indulgence in arithmetical deduction by the sentencing judges should be absolutely forbidden. An invitation to a sentencing judge to engage in a process of \"instinctive synthesis\", as useful as shorthand terminology may on occasions be, is not desirable if no more is said or understood about what that means. The expression \"instinctive synthesis\" may then be understood to suggest an arcane process into the mysteries of which only judges can be initiated. The law strongly favours transparency. Accessible reasoning is necessary in the interests of victims, of the parties, appeal courts, and the public. There may be occasions when some indulgence in an arithmetical process will better serve these ends. This case was not however one of them because of the number and complexity of the considerations which had to be weighed by the trial judge.\nIt is submitted that \u2018two step\u2019 sentencing still has some life left in it.\n2/. The Effect of Section 21A of the Crimes Act\nSection 21A provides in a sense a checklist of matters to be taken into account in sentencing. Section 21A has proved to be an extremely fertile field for appellate lawyers.\nSection 21A (1) and (2) state:\n(a) the victim was a police officer, emergency services worker, correctional officer, judicial officer, health worker, teacher, community worker, or other public official, exercising public or community functions and the offence arose because of the victim\u2019s occupation,\n(l) the victim was vulnerable, for example, because the victim was very young or very old or had a disability, or because of the victim\u2019s occupation (such as a taxi driver, bank teller or service station attendant),\nSubsection (3), which deals with mitigating factors, is omitted for reasons of space. Subsections (4) and (5) state:\nA number of important features of this legislation have emerged in the cases. It is important to note that the list of aggravating and mitigating features is expressly not an exhaustive one: see s. 21A (1). Thus for example, a sentencing judge can take into account extra-curial punishment as a mitigating factor: see Daetz (2003) 139 A Crim R 398.\nError of Treating Elements of the Offence as Aggravating Factors\nIt is very important to note that an aggravating factor is not to be taken into account if it is an element of the offence: see s. 21A (2). Sentencing judges appear to find it very difficult to avoid falling foul of this provision. Since this problem comes up so frequently, examples will be given under headings for the relevant aggravating factor below. However at this stage it it may be important to make some general observations.\nThe cases demonstrate that problems frequently arise when judges simply read onto the record the paragraph letters of the aggravating features they find present. The failure to indicate the way in which the aggravating factors are taken into account is a frequent source of judicial error.\nProblems will arise when a sentencing judge indicates broadly the aggravating factors found to exist, without specifying which particular offences are aggravated. In Street [2005] NSWCCA 139 the sentencing judge had to sentence the offender for a large number of matters. He referred to aggravating features generally, although for some of those offences the aggravating feature was an element of the offence. This was held to be an error (at paras [32] to [34]). See also Tadrosse [2005] NSWCCA 145 at para [26].\nHowever the extent to which a factor (which is an element of the offence) is present may be treated as an aggravating factor. Thus in the case of dangerous driving occasioning death, the degree to which the offender's blood alcohol level was over the legal limit can be taken into account as an aggravating factor: see Berg [2004] NSWCCA 300 at para [25]. Similarly it will not be an error in a robbery in company case to take into account as an aggravating factor the fact that the offender had a large number of overbearing and powerful companions: Regina v Way (2004) 60 NSWLR 168 at para [107]. See also Regina v Pearson [2005] NSWCCA 116 at paras [31] to [35].\n(b) \u2018the offence involved the actual or threatened use of violence\u2019\nUnder s. 21A (2) (b) an aggravating factor is the actual or threatened use of violence in the offence. In a case of armed robbery, it will be an error to treat as an aggravating factor the fact that the offence involved the actual or threatened use of violence: Ibrahimi [2005] NSWCCA 153 at paras [16] to [18], Mohamadin [2004] NSWCCA 401 at para [16].\nSimilarly, in a sentence for malicious wounding with intent, it is an error to treat as an aggravating factor the fact that the offence involved actual violence: Cramp [2004] NSWCCA 264 at paras [20], [53] to [58].\n(c) \u2018the offence involved the actual or threatened use of a weapon\u2019\nUnder s. 21A (2) (c), the actual or threatened use of a weapon is an aggravating factor. Again, the aggravating factor does not apply if use of a weapon is an element of the offence, such as for the offence of armed robbery: Mohamadin [2004] NSWCCA 401 at para [16], and House [2005] NSWCCA at paras [8] to [11].\n(d) \u2018A Record of previous Convictions\u2019\nUnder s. 21A(2) (d), it is an aggravating factor of an offence if the offender has \u2018a record of previous convictions\u2019. Somewhat confusingly, it has been in effect held that despite the apparent wording of the section, having a record of previous convictions does not aggravate the offence.\nAt common law, having a criminal record is not regarded as an aggravating factor of an offence. In Regina v Shankley [2003] NSWCCA 253 (at para [31]) Howie J summarised the principles of Veen v The Queen (1988) 164 CLR 465 as follows:\nThe effect of the prior criminal record of the offender, where it is relevant to sentencing, is not to increase the objective seriousness of the offence committed but rather that 'retribution, deterrence and protection of society may indicate a more severe sentence is warranted.\nSection 21A (4) states that the court is not to have regard to any aggravating or mitigating factor when it would be contrary to any Act or rule of law to do so. As a result it has been held that Regina v Shankley continues to be good law: Johnson [2004] NSWCCA 76. It follows that it is an error for a sentencing judge to treat an offender\u2019s criminal history as an aggravating factor: Blair [2005] NSWCCA 78. It may even be an error if the sentencing judge simply refers to the criminal record of the offender without indicating how the criminal record is taken into account: Regina v Walker NSWCCA 109.\n(e) \u2018the offence was committed in company\u2019\nAgain, care needs to be taken that this aggravating factor is not an element of the offence. In a case of robbery in company, it will be an error to treat as an error the fact that the robbery was committed in company as an aggravating factor: Mohamadin [2004] NSWCCA 401 at para [16].\n(g) \u2018Injury, emotional harm, loss or damage\u2019\nIt is an aggravating factor of the offence if the \u2018injury, emotional harm, loss or damage caused by the offence was substantial\u2019 (s. 21A(2) (g)).\nIf the injury is an element of the offence, the injury cannot be taken into account as an aggravating factor. Thus it is an error to take into account the death of a victim in a manslaughter case (Williams [2005] NSWCCA 99 at paras [34] to [38]) or a dangerous driving occasioning death case (Vale [2004] NSWCCA 469 at para [33]).\nAt common law it was held that in murder cases the effect of the killing on the family of the deceased could not be taken into account: Previtera (1997) 94 A Crim R 76. In Berg [2004] NSWCCA 300 Spigelman CJ suggested that in view of the inclusion of s. 3A of the Crimes (Sentencing Procedure) Act, which stated that one of the purposes of sentencing was \u2018to recognise the harm done to the victim of crime and the community\u2019, Previtera might have to be reconsidered. A 5 judge bench of the Court of Criminal Appeal was constituted to consider the matter in Tzanis [2005] NSWCCA 274 but in the end decided it was unnecessary to resolve the matter.\nThe courts have considered the circumstances in which \u2018emotional harm\u2019 can be used as an aggravating factor. In Regina v Youkhana NSWCCA 412 the appellant had been sentenced for armed robbery. The victim had said in his statement that he was concerned that he would be shot during the robbery, and that \u201cI am still very shaken and nervous as a result of the incident\u2019. The sentencing judge treated as an aggravating factor that the victim had suffered from \u2018emotional harm\u2019. It was held that for \u2018emotional harm\u2019 to be treated as an aggravating factor, it had to be demonstrated that it was significantly more deleterious than the emotional harm which any ordinary person would suffer when subjected to an armed robbery. Normally there would have to be evidence specifically directed to that issue, normally in the form of a Victim Impact Statement (para [26]).\nIn Solomon [2005] NSWCCA 158 Howie J (with whom Grove and Latham JJ agreed) said (at paras [19] to [20]):\n19 Because the court assumes, without evidence, that the victim of a robbery would be affected both physically and psychologically from the commission of the offence and because that consequence of the offence is taken into account generally in determining that the offence is to be considered as a serious one requiring condign punishment, it would be unfair for the court to take into account as an additional aggravating factor under s 21A(2)(g) the fact that the victim of an armed robbery suffered the type of harm that is assumed to be the case for any victim of that offence: there would be in effect a double counting of an aggravating feature of the offence. Therefore, in order to take into account the effect upon the victim of the offence as an aggravating feature over and above that which applies to armed robbery offences in general, something more is required than that which the court has assumed to be the case.\n20 Nothing in Youkhana should be taken to suggest that the normal or assumed effects of an armed robbery upon a victim are not substantial. The case is simply authority for the proposition that, in order to avoid double counting of aggravating factors, the court cannot take into account as an aggravating feature of a particular crime the effects upon a victim that would be expected to result from the commission of that type of offence. There may be cases at the margin where some judgment might have to be made about whether the severity of the effect of a particular offence on a particular victim is such that the offence should be considered to be aggravated. But the present case is not one of them. In my opinion from the passages of the victim impact statements set out above it is clear that it was open for the Judge to find that the offences were each aggravated by the effect that they had upon the relevant victim.\n(i) \u2018without regard for public safety\u2019\nUnder s. 21A (2)(i) it is an aggravating factor if an offence is committed \u2018without regard for public safety\u2019.\nIt is not an aggravating factor if the committing of an offence \u2018without regard for public safety\u2019 is an element of the offence. Thus it has been held that a sentencing judge was not in error in refusing to take into account as an aggravating factor in an offence of aggravated dangerous driving occasioning death the fact that the driving was committed \u2018without regard to public safety\u2019: McMillan [2005] NSWCCA 28. A contrary view was expressed obiter in Ancuta [2005] NSWCCA 275 at para [12].\nIn Ancuta [2005] NSWCCA the applicant had been sentenced for supplying drugs to an undercover police officer. The sentencing judge held that an aggravating factor was the fact that the offence was committed without regard to public safety. Brownie AJA (with whom the other judges of the Court of Criminal Appeal agreed) said (at para [11]):\n11 The applicant submitted that his Honour erred as to clauses (i) and (l). It might be said that the offence of supplying heroin, and related offences such as being deemed to supply heroin, all carry with them the concept that the supply of heroin is likely to endanger the public safety, in the sense that the end users are exposed to various dangers, and that because those with a heroin habit are likely to commit crimes to fund their habit, other members of the public will be exposed to various dangers. However, s 21A(2) is directed to a different question, namely whether there is some aggravating factor to be taken into account when imposing a sentence for a particular offence. It might be said that every supplier or deemed supplier of heroin has failed to have regard for public safety, but it cannot be right to say that everyone convicted of such an offence is to be punished on the basis that there is an aggravating factor, as described in s 21A(2)(i).\nHowever in Regina v Way (2004) 60 NSWLR 168 the Court of Criminal Appeal held that there was no error in the sentencing judge treating the sale of drugs to an undercover police officer as an offence committed without regard to public safety (at para [172]).\n(l) \u2018 the victim was vulnerable\u2019\nSection 21A(2) (l) makes it an aggravating factor of the offence if victim was vulnerable, \u2018for example because the victim was very young or very old or had a disability, or because of the victim\u2019s occupation (such as a taxi driver, bank teller or service station attendant)\u2019.\nAgain it is important to note that this feature cannot be used as an aggravating factor if it is an element of the offence. Thus in a case where the offence of which the offender has been convicted is the offence of sexually assaulting a person with an intellectual disability, the judge will be in error if he treats the disability of the victim as a further aggravating factor: Wickham [2004] NSWCCA 193 esp. at paras [22] and [32].\nIn Tadrosse [2005] NSWCCA 145 the applicant had committed a large number of offences of dishonesty on ordinary members of the public. The sentencing judge said:\nI now turn briefly to some of the principles of sentencing the court is required to take into account by the legislation. Section 21A of the Crimes (Sentencing Procedure) Act provides a framework upon which to judge to some extent the aggravating and mitigating factors relating to an offence or a series of offences. And whilst I do not apply that section to each individual offence, I propose to indicate generally the aggravating and mitigating features that I have found in this case.\nWhen one goes to s 21A(2), the aggravating factors, the factors that I find that are present are: (g), (l), (m) and (n).\nThis manner of referring to the section numbers is ripe with the possibility of appellable error. Howie J (with whom the other members of the Court of Criminal Appeal agreed) said in relation to the finding that the aggravating factor of vulnerable victims existed (at para [26]):\n26 It may well be the case the persons generally in the community would be vulnerable to a proficient fraudster armed with forged documents such as a driver\u2019s licence because it is common to rely upon such documents as proof of identity. But that fact does not give rise to an aggravating factor under s 21A(2)(l). That provision is concerned with the weakness of a particular class of victim and not with the threat posed by a particular class of offender.\nIn Ancuta [2005] NSWCCA 275 the applicant had been sentenced for supplying heroin to an undercover police officer. The sentencing judge treated as an aggravating factor the fact that the victims were vulnerable. Brownie AJA, with whom the other judges of the Court of Criminal Appeal agreed, said at paras [13] to [14]:\n13 As to clause (l), concerning a vulnerable victim or victims, it is possible to think of potential heroin users as being victims, and as being vulnerable, in the sense that they are unable to resist, or unable to adequately resist the temptations of heroin, but, once again, a conviction for an offence for supplying heroin, or of being deemed to have supplied heroin, carries this concept with it, so that it is not correct to hypothesise about potential victims, and of their being vulnerable, and then to treat this hypothesis as constituting an aggravating factor, so far as concerns the particular sentence to be imposed for a particular offence.\n14 Further, in the present case, the police intervened and took possession of the heroin before the applicant had an opportunity to resell it, so that in fact there was no victim, so far as concerns the particular quantity of heroin, the subject of the charge, and the subject of the sentence. Accordingly, Ground 2 is made out.\nIn Williams [2005] NSWCCA 99 the applicant was found guilty of the manslaughter of his wife. The sentencing judge said:\nIn determining the appropriate sentence for the particular offence the Court is required to take into account certain specified aggravating factors and certain specified mitigating factors that are relevant and known to the Court as well as any other objective or subjective factors that affect the relative seriousness of the offence (s 21A(1)(a), (b) and (c)). The aggravating factors in the present case that are known and relevant are those specified in s 21A(2)(b)(c)(d)(g) and (l). The mitigating factors in the present case that are known and relevant are those specified in s 21A(2)(b) and (c).\nBuddin J, with whom the other judges of the Court of Criminal Appeal agreed, said (at paras [40] to [41]):\n40 The sentencing judge also relied, as an aggravating factor, upon s 21A(2)(l). The argument in respect of this matter was put somewhat differently because plainly enough it could not be suggested that this was an element of the offence. The sentencing judge concluded that the deceased was vulnerable, as I understand his Honour\u2019s reasons, upon the basis that the applicant was a powerful man who had violent tendencies, whereas the deceased did not have those characteristics. That was clearly a matter that was relevant to an assessment of the objective gravity of the offence. It should not however have been treated as a factor which further aggravated the offence.\n41 In any event all victims of a homicide can be said to be vulnerable. In my view, s 21A(2)(l) is not directed to vulnerability in that generalized sense. Indeed, the examples set out in the subparagraph suggest that it is vulnerability of a particular kind that attracts its operation.\nOn the other hand it was held that a sentencing judge was not in error for treating as vulnerable the victims of a robbery who were on a railway station late at night: Ibrahimi [2005] NSWCCA 153.\n(m) \u2018Multiple Victims or a Series of Criminal Acts\u2019\nIt is an aggravating factor for an offence to involve multiple victims or a series of criminal acts: s. 21A (2) (m). However this does not if an offender is being sentenced for many offences, each with a different victim, the individual offences are not aggravated by there being \u2018multiple victims\u2019.\nIn Tadrosse [2005] NSWCCA 145 the offender was being sentenced for a large number of dishonesty offences, each with a separate victim. The sentencing judge treated as an aggravating factor the fact that there were multiple victims. In the Court of Criminal Appeal, Howie J (with whom the other judges agreed) said (at paras [28] to [29]):\n28 His Honour was also in error in taking into account as an aggravating feature s 21A(2)(m) \u201cthe offence involved multiple victims or a series of criminal acts\u201d. Clearly there were multiple offences before the court and they indicated that there were multiple victims and a series of criminal acts. But the applicant was going to be sentenced for each of those offences and the fact that there were multiple victims and multiple acts of criminality would be addressed by the sentences to be imposed for each of those offences in accordance with the principle of totality. With respect it is illogical to take into account, where there are multiple offences charged, that it is an aggravating factor relevant to each offence that there is a series of criminal acts disclosed by the offences before the court.\n29 Clearly the aggravating factor in s 21A(2)(m) is concerned with the situation where a single offence contains a number of allegations of criminal acts that are part and parcel of a single course of criminal conduct. A charge of this nature will be frequently found in cases of fraud or dishonesty perpetrated against a single victim such as a charge of embezzlement or larceny as a servant. It is also common to charge multiple instances of supplying drugs over a lengthy period of time as one offence under s 25 of the Drug Misuse and Trafficking Act. Of course there are offences that have, as an element of the offence, multiple acts of criminality, such as an offence of ongoing drug supply under s 25A of the Drug Misuse and Trafficking Act or an offence of persistent sexual abuse of a child under s 66EA of the Crimes Act. When sentencing for such an offence, the court must bear in mind the prohibition against taking into account as a matter of aggravation that which is an element of the offence charged.\nSee also Janceski [2005] NSWCCA 288 at para [22].\n2/. Standard Non Parole Periods\nSection 54B of the Crimes (Sentencing Procedure) Act reads as follows:\nSection 54A (2) states that the standard non-parole period represents the non-parole period for an offence in the mid range of objective seriousness. Section 21A sets out a list of aggravating and mitigating factors, which are to be taken into account on sentencing.\nStandard non-parole periods are for offences committed after 1 February 2003. It is an error of law to take into account standard non-parole periods for offences committed before that date; see Regina v Wilkinson [2004] NSWCCA 468 at para [26].\nAre Standard Non-Parole Periods Confined to Mid Range Offences?\nIn Regina v Way (2004) 60 NSWLR 168 the Court of Criminal Appeal observed that on a literal reading of s. 54B(2), the provision would be confined to offences of mid-range seriousness. However the Court took a purposive interpretation of the provision, and found that s. 54B(2) applies to all offences. However, the fact that a particular offence is more or less serious than an offence of mid range seriousness is a reason for departing from the standard non-parole period (Way at para [67]).\nIs the Standard Non-Parole Period after Plea or after Trial?\nA matter of great practical significance is the question of whether the standard non-parole period is for an offence after trial, or after a plea of guilty. On this critical issue, the legislation is curiously silent. The Court of Criminal Appeal noted that s. 21A of the Act states that a plea of guilty is a mitigating factor (s. 21A (3) (k)), but a plea of not guilty is not an aggravating factor, either under s. 21A or the common law. As a result the Court of Criminal Appeal concluded that the standard non-parole periods set out in the Table to the Act must be considered as the non-parole period for mid range cases after trial (Way at para [71]). It follows that when a court is sentencing an offender who has pleaded guilty to an offence for which there is a standard non-parole period, the standard non-parole period does not apply. See also Regina v Perez [2004] NSWCCA 218 at para [23].\nMust the Court Determine what is the Mid Range Offence Before Sentencing?\nAlthough both counsel for the appellant and the Crown in Way argued that it was not necessary for a sentencing judge to determine what is the abstract case in the mid range of objective seriousness, these submissions were rejected (Way at [75]). The Court considered that this was no different from the exercise sentencing judges already have to undertake in determining where an offence stands on the range from least to most objectively serious.\nThe Court noted that the \u2018middle range of objective seriousness\u2019 was not to be regarded as the \u2018typical\u2019 offence (Way at para [100]), nor as occupying a narrow band (Way at para [102]).\nWhat Matters Are Taken into Account in Determining Objective Seriousness of an Offence?\nThe Court of Criminal Appeal in Way rejected the view that the objective seriousness of an offence was confined to the physical acts of the offender and their effects. The Court gave as examples of matters, which could be taken into account in determining objective seriousness: motivation (including duress, provocation, or need to feed a drug addiction), mental state, and mental illness or disability (where such illness or disability is causally related to the offence) (Way at para [86]).\nWhat Factors Can Be taken into Account in Fixing the Non-Parole Period?\nSection 54B(3) of the Act states that the reasons for which the court may set a non-parole period that is longer or shorter than the standard non-parole period are only those referred to in s. 21A.\nSection 21A of the Act sets out a list of aggravating factors, and a list of mitigating factors, which must be taken into account on sentencing. However s. 21A(1) of the Act also states \u2018The matters referred to in this subsection are in addition to any other matters to be taken into account by the court under any Act or rule of law\u2019.\nThe result of this confusing combination of provisions is that a sentencing judge can take into account matters not mentioned in s. 21A, such as hardship to the offender\u2019s family or serving a sentence in protection, if those factors could be taken into account at common law (Way at para [104]).\nHow is the Non-Parole Period to be fixed?\nIf the sentencing judge finds that there are reasons not to impose the standard non-parole period, the judge should then exercise his/her sentencing discretion in accordance with general sentencing practise, taking into account all the objective and subjective matters the sentencing judge must take into account at law (Way at para [121]). \u2018In this approach the standard non-parole period can properly take its place as a reference point, or benchmark, or sounding board, or guidepost, along with other extrinsic aids such as authorities, statistics, guideline judgments and the specified maximum penalty, as are applicable and relevant\u2019 (Way at para [122]). See also Regina v Davies [2004] NSWCCA 319 at para [6].\nThe correct approach is not to start at the standard non-parole period and then oscillate about it to take into account aggravating and mitigating factors (Way at para [131]). See also Lewis [2005] NSWCCA 300.\nThe Effect of a Finding of Special Circumstances\nAfter the enactment of the standard non-parole provisions, some commentators took the view that a finding of special circumstances (permitting a variation of the ratio between the non-parole period and the total sentence), could not be taken into account in setting the non-parole period. If this interpretation were correct, the alarming consequence would be that a finding of special circumstances would not reduce the non-parole period; it would simply increase the parole period, producing a longer total sentence.\nFortunately this interpretation was not adopted by the Court of Criminal Appeal. The Court held in Way that a finding of special circumstances under s. 44 of the Act was a matter \u2018required or permitted to be taken into account under any Act or rule of law\u2019 (s. 21A(1)). As a result a sentencing judge could take into account a finding of special circumstances in fixing the non-parole period (Way at paras [108] to [113]).\nIn Regina v Perez [2004] NSWCCA 218 the Court of Criminal Appeal held that a sentencing judge who did not take into account his finding of special circumstances in setting the non-parole period was in error (see para [27]). See also Regina v Huynh [2005] NSWCCA 220 at paras [34] to [38].\nCan a Non Custodial Sentence be imposed for Standard Non-Parole Period Offences?\nThe Court of Criminal Appeal in Way said that the fact that a standard non-parole period had been prescribed for an offence did not preclude a non-custodial sentence, although because of the nature of the offences listed in the table, non-custodial sentences would be rare (Way at para [116]).\nThe Effect of Non Compliance with Section 54B\nSection 54B is a mandatory provision. It requires a sentencing judge to either impose the standard non-parole period, or to give reasons for not doing so.\nSection 54B states that \u2018The failure of a court to comply with this section does not invalidate the sentence\u2019. However s. 101A of the Act states a failure to comply with a provision of the Act can be taken into account even if the Act declares that failure to comply does not invalidate the sentence. In Regina v Tuncbilek [2004] NSWCCA 139, the Court of Criminal Appeal held that the combined effect of these apparently contradictory provisions was that a sentence not complying with s. 54B was preserved until it was dealt with on appeal (Tuncbilek at para [33]).\nA Judicial Summary of Standard Non-Parole Periods\nIn the recent decision of Regina v Pellew [2004] NSWCCA 434 Simpson J summarised the cases on standard non-parole periods this way (at para [13]):\n13 The following propositions emerge from Way and subsequent cases:\n(iii) a sentencing judge will be required, in relation to any given case, to hypothesise what is an abstract offence in the middle of the range of objective seriousness in order to determine where the subject offence lies in relation to such an offence; such an exercise is, in reality, little different from the traditional sentencing exercise of evaluating objective seriousness of any offence, and should be approached intuitively and based upon the general experience of courts in sentencing for the particular offence (paras [74] \u2013 [77]);\n(iv) circumstances that affect the evaluation of the objective seriousness of any offence include (but are not necessarily limited to) the actus reus, the consequences of the conduct, such factors as impinge upon the mens rea of the offender, matters of motivation, mental state, mental illness or disability (where causally related to the commission of the offence). Factors that affect the circumstances of the offender as distinct from the offence (for example, youth or prior sexual abuse) do not affect the evaluation of objective seriousness (paras [85] \u2013 [86]);\n(v) that an offence is \u201ctypical\u201d or \u201ccommon\u201d does not dictate that it is in the middle of the range of objective seriousness ( para [101]);\n(vi) the numerical frequency with which an offence of a particular kind is committed is not an indicator of the objective seriousness of any individual instance of that offence: (paras [101] \u2013 [102]);\n(vii) where a court determines that there are reasons for departing from the standard non-parole period, the standard non-parole period nevertheless remains of relevance in the sentencing determination, as a reference point, benchmark, sounding board or guidepost (para [122 ]); see also R v GJ Davies [2004] NSWCCA 319.\n3/. Multiple Offences: Cumulative or Concurrent Sentences\nMuch difficulty in the area of sentencing offenders for multiple offences was caused by a single paragraph in the decision of the High Court in Pearce v The Queen (1998) 194 CLR 610 where McHugh, Hayne and Callinan JJ stated (at 624):\nTo an offender, the only relevant question may be \"how long\", and that may suggest that a sentencing judge or appellate court should have regard only to the total effective sentence that is to be or has been imposed on the offender. Such an approach is likely to mask error. A judge sentencing an offender for more than one offence must fix an appropriate sentence for each offence and then consider questions of cumulation or concurrence, as well, of course, as questions of totality\nThis comment has been construed by the Court of Criminal Appeal in a way that has made the sentencing of an offender for multiple offences an extremely difficult process.\nPrior to Pearce, a common method of sentencing an offender on multiple counts was to determine the appropriate sentence for the overall criminality, and then to impose that sentence on each count. As a result of Pearce, that approach to sentencing is impermissible: see Lemene (2000) 118 A Crim R 131 and Tomich (2002) 127 A Crim R 234 especially at para [4].\nSimilarly, it is not permissible to artificially increase the sentence imposed on one count to take into account the total criminality of other counts: A [1999] NSWCCA 61, Hammoud (2000) 118 A Crim R 66. In the latter case Simpson J said (at para [9]):\n9 Pre-Pearce, it was possible to discern two different approaches to sentencing for multiple offences. The first was to select a single charge (a lead or representative count) and, in accordance with the principle of totality, on that charge impose a sentence that properly reflected the overall criminality involved in all offences. On the remaining counts, comparatively lenient sentences, frequently fixed terms, were imposed. The second approach was, again with the principle of totality in mind, to select a sentence appropriate to the overall criminality and impose that sentence in respect of all or most of the charges. Both of these approaches avoided the need for elaborate exercises in accumulation of sentences.\nThe classic formulation of totality was the following extract from the judgment of the High Court in Mill v The Queen (1988) 166 CLR 59 at 63:\nWhere the principle falls to be applied in relation to sentences of imprisonment imposed by a single sentencing court, an appropriate result may be achieved either by making sentences wholly or partially concurrent or by lowering the individual sentences below what would otherwise be appropriate in order to reflect the fact that a number of sentences are being imposed. Where practicable, the former is to be preferred.\nIn Johnson v The Queen [2004] HCA 15 the Crown argued that as a result of Pearce it was no longer permissible to lower the individual sentences to take into account totality. Fortunately this submission was rejected by the High Court.\nOn the question of whether sentences should be concurrent or cumulative, Simpson J said in Hammoud (at para [7]):\n7 I wish to make it plain at the outset that I agree with the approach taken by Dowd J in the restructured sentences he proposes. My difficulty lies in the proposition expressed by his Honour in paragraph 69 of the draft. I do not agree that for the sentencing judge to take into account, in considering questions of concurrence and accumulation, features that were common to the two conspiracy offences, denotes an invalid reasoning process. Whether or not to accumulate sentences imposed in relation to multiple offences is, in the end, an exercise of discretion to be made in accordance with established principle. Features common to two or more offences are all matters relevant to be taken into account (pointing towards concurrence) as are features indicating the disparate nature of the offences (pointing the other way). There will be many cases in which sentencing judges might take differing views but neither view could be said to be wrong.\n4/. The Effect of the Abolition of Section 16G of the Commonwealth Crimes Act\nSection 16G of the Commonwealth Crimes Act was inserted into the Act when remissions were abolished in New South Wales. It required courts to take into account the abolition of remissions in determining sentences for Commonwealth offences. Generally, courts took into account the effect of s. 16G by discounting the sentence by a third.\nSection 16G was repealed as from 16 January 2003, apparently simply out of a desire to tidy up the Crimes Act. However, this led to a debate about whether the effect of the abolition of s. 16G was that the general levels of sentencing for Commonwealth matters should be increased by 50%.\nIn Regina v Dujeu [2004] NSWCCA 237 Smart AJ (with whom Hislop J agreed) said (at para [43]):\n43 I agree with Howie J that there is no warrant to increase the current range of sentences for Federal offences simply by applying some mathematical formula and that the proper approach to sentencing for a Federal offence is to determine the correct sentence without taking into account that s16G existed and has now been repealed (R v Studenikin [2004] NSWCCA 164 at par [71]). Insofar as regards is had to sentencing patterns which existed prior to s 16G caution must be employed. It would be crude and unfair to increase previous levels of sentences by 50 per cent to take into account the repeal of ss 16G and 19AG.\nHowever in Regina v Kevenaar [2004] NSWCCA 210 Hulme J (with whom Howie and Simpson JJ agreed) said (at para [48]):\n48 Would-be offenders and sentencing judges should be under no misapprehension. The effect of the repeal of the section is that the length of sentences of imprisonment (and non-parole periods) for those offences to which s16G previously applied should, as a necessary and logical consequence of the way the courts implemented s16G, increase by approximately 50%.\nIn Regina v Mas Rivadivia NSWCCA 284 Wood CJ at CL (with whom the other members of the Court of Criminal Appeal agreed) discussed the cases referred to above and said (at paras [83] to [84]):\n83 So far as there is any difference between the view of Hulme J in Kevenaar on the one hand, and of Smart AJ in Dujeu and of Howie J in Studenikin, on the other hand, then I prefer the views expressed in Dujeu and Studenikin.\n84 To the extent that regard is had to Wong and Leung, in the indicative way for which guideline sentences are intended, or to the extent that reference is made to pre s 16G and 19AG sentencing patterns, or to those which will now emerge following the repeal of those sections, it is important for Judges to bear in mind:\n(a) That Wong and Leung was decided in a context where s 16G required an adjustment to be made, although that adjustment was not one that was mathematically and unequivocally linked to a discount of 30%, since there remained an area for sentencing discretion; and\n(b) That it is no longer permissible to make an allowance for the s 16G factor;\nIn Regina v Bezan NSWCCA 342 Wood CJ at CL (with whom the other judges of the Court of Criminal Appeal agreed) said (at paras [18] to [19]):\n18 The effect of the decisions in Studenikin, Dujeu and Mas Rivadavia is that while the repeal of s 16G is likely to result in an increase in the current and future sentencing pattern over that which is to be discerned by reference to the pre-repeal cases, which had been the subject of a s 16G discount, the proper approach is to set a sentence that meets the requirements of s 16A(1) of the Crimes Act 1914, and the relevant objectives of sentencing, without giving a s 16G discount.\n19 Moreover, they establish that it would be inappropriate to approach the sentencing exercise upon a broad arithmetic approach that would require the pre-repeal sentencing range (which may have been influenced by sentences imposed following reliance upon the guideline in Regina v Wong and Leung (1999) 48 NSWLR 340 before the successful appeal from that decision (Wong v The Queen (2001) 207 CLR 584), to be adjusted by some bare arithmetic formula, let alone one that would call for its increase by the factor of 50%, in order to restore an equivalence with the pre-repeal range.\n5/. Putting Matters on a Form One\nThe procedure of putting a matter \u2018on a Form One\u2019 (at different times in the past also known as a Ninth Schedule) has been a procedure which practitioners have found to be an extremely useful device in sentencing proceedings. This procedure was the subject of authoritative consideration by a 5 judge bench decision of the Court of Criminal Appeal, Attorney General\u2019s Application No 1 of 2002 [2002] NSWCCA 518.\nThe procedure, which is now embodied in s. 32 of the Crimes Sentencing Procedure) Act, permits offenders pleading guilty to an offence (in the Act referred to as \u2018the principal offence\u2019) to ask the sentencing judge to take into account other additional charges with which the offender has been charged but not convicted. The procedure requires the co-operation of both parties to the sentencing proceedings, because only the prosecution can file the Form One in court, and the sentencing judge is only to take the matters into account if the offender asks the court to take the additional matters into account. The offender is not required to enter a plea of guilty to the additional charges, and the court is not permitted to impose a separate penalty for the additional charges (although it may make ancillary orders such as disqualification from driving).\nThere was a divergence of views as to the effect of putting additional charges on a Form One. The view which was traditionally regarded as more theoretically correct was that if a judge imposed a sentence on a principal offence, in a case where the court was asked to take into account additional matters on a Form One, then the sentence imposed on the principal offence should be the same as the total sentence which would have been imposed had all the offender been convicted of the principal offence and the additional matters. According to this view, the only effect of asking the sentencing judge to take into account additional matters on a Form One, was that the sentence imposed was limited by the maximum penalty available for the principal offence. Examples of cases in which this approach was taken is Vougdis (1989) 41 A Crim R 125, and the judgment of Hulme J in Regina v Dawson [2000] NSWCCA 399.\nThe alternative view, which was much more frequently followed by first instance judges was that the offender should receive a significantly lower penalty for adopting the procedure of asking matters to be dealt with on a Form One. This approach was taken in cases such as the judgment of Simpson J in Regina v Lemene (2001) 118 A Crim R 131.\nIn Attorney General\u2019s Application No 1 of 2002 [2002] NSWCCA 518 Spigelman CJ gave the leading judgement, and all the other judges of the court agreed. His Honour pointed out that when a court sentenced an offender for a principal offence, in a situation where the court was asked to take into account matters on a Form One, the court was in fact only sentencing for the principal offence. To sentence the offender for the matters on a Form One, to which the offender has not been convicted, would be in breach of the principles set down by the High Court in De Simoni v The Queen (1981) 147 CLR 383.\nHowever in sentencing the offender for the principal offence, the sentencing judge takes into account the matters on the Form One, with a view to increasing the penalty for that offence. It does so by giving greater weight to the need for personal deterrence and retribution.\nAs to the practical effect of putting matters on a Form One, Spigelman CJ said (at [66]):\n66 The effect of inclusion on a Form 1 is to give the offences so included a significantly lower salience in the sentencing process. There will be an obvious advantage, and hence a greater incentive to admit guilt, where the Form 1 procedure is employed. In my opinion, the issues that arise are broadly equivalent to those involved in the Crown deciding not to prosecute for the full range of offences open to it or to accept a plea to a lesser charge, albeit in the context of multiple, and often divergent, criminal offences.\nIt now appears to be clear that there is a considerable advantage to an offender to \u2018clean the slate\u2019 by asking a sentencing judge to take into account outstanding matters on a Form One.\nIn Markarian v The Queen [2005] HCA 25 it was argued that the Court of Criminal Appeal had erred in resentencing Markarian by stating that the sentence was to be increased by a specific amount to take into account matters on a Form One. This argument was rejected.\n6/. Sentencing Aboriginal Offenders\nThe leading case in relation to the sentencing of Aboriginal offenders remains Fernando (1992) 76 A Crim R 58. In that case Wood J (as he then was) summarised the relevant principles as follows:\n(A) The same sentencing principles are to be applied in every case irrespective of the identity of a particular offender or his membership of an ethnic or other group but that does not mean that the sentencing courts should ignore those facts which exist only by reason of membership of such a group.\n(B) The relevance of the Aboriginality of an offender is not necessarily to mitigate punishment but rather to explain or throw light on the particular offence and the circumstances of the offender.\n(D) Notwithstanding the absence of any real body of evidence demonstrating that the imposition of significant terms of imprisonment provides any effective deterrent in either discouraging the use of alcohol by members of the Aboriginal society or their resort to violence when heavily effected by it, the courts must be very careful in the pursuit of their sentencing policies to not deprive Aboriginals of the protection which it is assumed punishment provides. In short, a belief cannot be allowed to go about that serious violence by drunken persons within their society are treated by the law as occurrences of little moment.\n(E) While drunkenness is not normally an excuse or a mitigating factor, where the abuse of alcohol by the person standing for sentence reflects the socio-economic circumstances and environment in which the offender has grown up, that can and should be taken into account as a mitigating factor. This involves the realistic recognition by the court of the endemic presence of alcohol within Aboriginal communities, and the grave social difficulties faced by those communities where poor self-image, absence of education and work opportunity and other demoralising factors have placed heavy stresses on them, reinforcing their resort to alcohol and compounding its worst effects.\n(G) That in sentencing an Aborigine who has come from a deprived background or is otherwise disadvantaged by reason of social or economic factors or who has little experience of European ways, a lengthy term of imprisonment may be particularly, even unduly, harsh when served in an environment which is foreign to him and which is dominated by inmates and prison officers of European background with little understanding of his culture and society or his own personality.\n(H) That in every sentencing exercise, whilst it is important to ensure that the punishment fits the crime and not to lose sight of the objective seriousness of the offence in the midst of what might otherwise be attractive subjective circumstances, full weight must be given to the competing public interest to rehabilitation of the offender and the avoidance of recidivism on his part.\nIn recent times there has been progressive limiting of the cases in which the Fernando principles are said to apply. In Regina v Morgan (2003) 57 NSWLR 533 Wood CJ at CL said (at 539):\n22 The present offences were not alcohol-related and the appellant did not come from a remote community, nor was he unfamiliar with the justice system. While the \"Fernando considerations\" could properly be taken into account, they added little to the present sentencing exercise beyond those matters which would otherwise have been taken into account, for any offender, as subjective circumstances. They were not favourable, but they did point to the need for a sentence that took into account the rehabilitative aspects, particularly in relation to post release supervision and assistance.\n7/. Pleas of Guilty\nThere have been many cases in which the Court of Criminal Appeal has repeated that the utilitarian value of a plea of guilty is not to be reduced because there is a strong Crown case. In Regina v Sutton [2004] NSWCCA 225 Howie J said at para [12]:\n12 This Court has pointed out, time and time again, that the strength of the Crown case is an irrelevant factor in determining the utilitarian value of the plea of guilty. The strength of the Crown case is relevant only to the evaluation of remorse and what weight should be given to that factor in determining the appropriate sentence. The following are but some of the decisions on this point in the four years since Thomson and Houlton was decided, and this is not to indicate that the principle was other than patently obvious from the judgment of the Chief Justice in the guideline judgment, see at [154]: R v Bugeja [2001] NSWCCA 196 at [27]; R v Smith [2001] NSW CCA 420 at [10]; R v Wan [2001] NSWCCA 501 at [10]; R v Parkinson (2001) 125 A Crim R 1; R v Hunter [2001] NSWCCA 530; R v Gorgievski [2002] NSWCCA 45 at [8]; R v Kay [2002] NSWCCA 286 at [58]; R v Ho [2002] NSWCCA 379 at [23]; R v Deluca [2002] NSWCCA 446 at [15]-[16]; R v Strong [2003] NSWCCA 123 at [52]; R v Bell [2003] NSWCCA 132 at [15]\u2013[20]; R v Petrie [2003] NSWCCA 208 at [15]; R v Trad [2003] NSWCCA 213 at [55]; R v Scott [2003] NSWCCA 286 at [18]; R v Sullivan [2004] NSWCCA 99 at [56]; R v Way [2004] NSWCCA 131 at [144]-[150]; R v Grbin [2004] NSWCCA 220 at [20].\nWhere there has been a plea of guilty at the earliest opportunity, and the offender has received a discount for the plea of less than 25%, if no explanation is given, error has been established: Regina v Johnston [2004] NSWCCA 307.\n8/. Agreed Facts\nThe High Court has recently stated that a sentencing judge is not bound by to find facts in accordance with \u2018agreed facts\u2019, and in particular is not bound by an agreement between the parties as to the basis on which the offender is to be sentenced: GAS and SJK v The Queen [2004] HCA 22. The parameters for \u2018agreed facts were discussed by the High Court in the following terms:\n1. First, it is the prosecutor, alone, who has the responsibility of deciding the charges to be preferred against an accused person [9]. The judge has no role to play in that decision. There is no suggestion, in the present case, that the judge was in any way a party to the \"plea agreement\" referred to. The appellants, through their counsel, evidently indicated to the prosecutor that, if a charge of manslaughter were to be substituted for the charge of murder, they would plead guilty, and the prosecutor filed a new presentment on that understanding. However, the charging of the appellants was a matter for the prosecutor.\n2. Secondly, it is the accused person, alone, who must decide whether to plead guilty to the charge preferred. That decision must be made freely and, in this case, it was made with the benefit of legal advice. Once again, the judge is not, and in this case was not, involved in the decision. Such a decision is not made with any foreknowledge of the sentence that will be imposed. No doubt it will often be made in the light of professional advice as to what might reasonably be expected to happen, but that advice is the responsibility of the accused's legal representatives.\n3. Thirdly, it is for the sentencing judge, alone, to decide the sentence to be imposed [10]. For that purpose, the judge must find the relevant facts [11]. In the case of a plea of guilty, any facts beyond what is necessarily involved as an element of the offence must be proved by evidence, or admitted formally (as in an agreed statement of facts), or informally (as occurred in the present case by a statement of facts from the bar table which was not contradicted). There may be significant limitations as to a judge's capacity to find potentially relevant facts in a given case [12]. The present appeal provides an example. The limitation arose from the absence of evidence as to who killed the victim, and the absence of any admission from either appellant that his involvement was more than that of an aider and abettor.\n4. Fourthly, as a corollary to the third principle, there may be an understanding, between the prosecution and the defence, as to evidence that will be led, or admissions that will be made, but that does not bind the judge, except in the practical sense that the judge's capacity to find facts will be affected by the evidence and the admissions. In deciding the sentence, the judge must apply to the facts as found the relevant law and sentencing principles. It is for the judge, assisted by the submissions of counsel, to decide and apply the law. There may be an understanding between counsel as to the submissions of law that they will make, but that does not bind the judge in any sense. The judge's responsibility to find and apply the law is not circumscribed by the conduct of counsel.\n5. Fifthly, an erroneous submission of law may lead a judge into error and, if that occurs, the usual means of correcting the error is through the appeal process. It is the responsibility of the appeal court to apply the law. If a sentencing judge has been led into error by an erroneous legal submission by counsel, that may be a matter to be taken into account in the application of the statutory provisions and principles which govern the exercise of the appeal court's jurisdiction.\nThe High Court has recommended that, if there are agreed facts, that agreement should be reduced to writing.\nThe Court of Criminal Appeal has stated repeatedly that if agreed facts are tendered, the Crown should not tender other material which contradicts the agreed facts: Palu (2002) 134 A Crim R 174 at para [21], Barri [2004] NSWCCA 221 at paras [57] to [58], Falls [2004] NSWCCA 335 at para [39].\n9/.Suspended Sentences\nWhere a suspended sentence imposed, the judge should impose a sentence with a non-parole period and a parole period, or give reasons for not doing so: Regina v Tolley [2004] NSWCCA 165.\n10/. Armed Robbery Offences\nThe Court of Criminal Appeal has recently held that it is overstating the case that the range of sentences set out in the guideline judgment for armed robbery, Regina v Henry, (1999) 46 NSWLR 346 must be applied unless there are exceptional circumstances: Regina v Lesi [2005] NSWCCA 63 at para [36].\n11/. Prisoners on Protection\nThe Court of Criminal Appeal has stressed that when a reduction of a sentence is sought on the basis that the offender will serve his sentence in protection, there should be evidence of the nature of the protective custody: see Regina v Mostyn [2004] NSWCCA 97 and Regina v Way [2004] NSWCCA 131 esp at para [179]. Such evidence can be called from the offender or from prison authorities.\n12/. Conditions on Bonds\nConditions on bonds must be reasonable. A bond imposed by Finnane DCJ requiring an Aboriginal man from Wilcannia to stay out of Wilcannia was held to be unreasonable: Regina v Bugmy [2004] NSWCCA 258.",

He determined the vehicle belonged to Warren. During his investigation he was called to assist an individual (Warren) who was requesting medical assistance five miles from the scene of the accident. In the Findings of Fact, the trial court determined that the time of the accident was unknown and that while Warren had admitted to drinking, the time and amount of alcohol was also unknown. The trial court determined that the Officer did not have reasonable cause to arrest Warren on a charge of Driving While Intoxicated without knowing those facts.\nMissouri Revised Statute 577.041.4 provides that an individual who has had his or her license revoked for a refusal may request a hearing. The court will then determine: Whether the person was stopped/arrested; whether the officer had reasonable grounds to believe the person was driving a motor vehicle under the influence; and whether the person refused. Prior case law requires that the reasonable grounds must exist at the time of the arrest. Not obtained after the fact, for example admissions after the officer has arrested the driver. It does allow for circumstantial evidence. The trial court determined reasonable grounds did not exist and the Appellate Court defers to the trier of fact for determination of credibility on circumstantial evidence.",

        "raw_content": "After years fighting a war on drugs, State A decides to amend its sentencing guidelines to reduce the number of people in prison for drug offenses. The statute (Section 101) reduces the minimum sentence for all convictions for possession of illegal substances from ten years to five years.\nIn State A, convicted individuals can request a downward adjustment in their sentences to the minimum sentence under the guidelines. In other words, laws that reduce, but not increase, minimum sentences apply retroactively. To placate some legislators who were unhappy with the sentencing amendments, State A includes an additional provision in Section 101. The provision prohibits any convicted individual who received a sentence greater than five years but lower than the previous minimum of ten years from requesting a downward adjustment.\nC was convicted of drug possession three years before the amendments were passed. Under the old sentencing guidelines, C was given an eight-year sentence for possession of methamphetamine, which was lower than the minimum at the time of ten years. Because C received a sentence below the previous minimum, C is prohibited under Section 101 from receiving a downward adjustment.\nDespite the prohibition in the new sentencing scheme, C requests a downward adjustment of his sentence from eight years to five years. He argues that Section 101, by excluding him from requesting a downward adjustment, amounts to an ex post facto law in violation of the Constitution. Without the prohibition, C\u2019s could have his sentence reduced to the new minimum, which would require him to serve only two more years in prison instead of five more years. Assume that C is bringing an as-applied challenge to Section 101.\nHow should the court rule? Explain, applying solely the Ex Post Facto Clause.",

The mayor of El Paso, Dee Margo, told CNN Monday that Trump\u2019s claim that a border fence made the city safer was based on false information.\n\u201cHe was certainly correct at the end of his remarks about El Paso, that we are the safest city,\u201d the Mayor said, before disputing the reason was any barrier. \u201cThe prefacing remarks were \u2014 he was echoing what had been said by our attorney general a few weeks ago in McAllen [and] that was wrong.\u201d\nDemocratic Rep. Veronica Escobar echoed the sentiment, requesting Trump apologize to the residents of the city. \u201cThese distortions about our vibrant community are harmful to our reputation and degrade our spirit,\u201d Escobar wrote. \u201cI urge you to treat this visit as your opportunity not only to correct the record and ensure that the misinformation you stated on the national stage is retracted, but also an opportunity to apologize to El Pasoans for the disparagement of our community.\u201d\nDemocratic rising star and native Texan Beto O\u2019Rourke will hold a concurrent, competing rally at the same time tonight (which can be streamed via Facebook live on his page).\nWatch the Trump rally live stream below:",

        "raw_content": "What is Marketing Automation and How Does it Affect Social Media?\nWhen we talk about automation in the world of social media, we often think it\u2019s a bad word. And yet, when it\u2019s done well, it\u2019s actually an essential part of social media marketing.\nOne-to-one communication is not possible with a large audience, so you have to find ways of keeping communication channels open with all of your audience and then, over time, identify the real prospects.\nThis is where marketing automation comes into play. So, let\u2019s take a deeper look about what marketing automation is and why I consider that marketing automation tools are in the social media tool category space!\nWhat is a Marketing Automation Tool?\nIt\u2019s a broad term, so it could include any tool that provides any level of automation in the marketing space.\nBut, typically, you are talking about relatively expensive tools that provide a broad range of functionality that help to automate your marketing process.\nWhat Type of Functionality is Typically Provided?\nThis is not an exhaustive list of all functionality but, as a general rule, any marketing automation tool would have the following kinds of functionality:\nEmail marketing is often central to what a marketing automation tool provides. They offer the capability to embed forms onto your website so that you can collect any email addresses that are entered, directly into their database. You can then communicate with your email subscribers through email newsletters/messages etc. and also through automated sequences.\nThis is a core module and is probably the most important within a marketing automation tool, because this is where the automation happens.\nWithin this tool, you can set up a series of actions that happen as a result of another action so that, if one thing happens, it triggers an action elsewhere. You can create contact records and build those contact records over time, based on the users\u2019 activity.\nIt\u2019s all about keeping communication channels open, building the relationship and nurturing a person to a sale.\nFor example, imagine if you knew that 10% of the people who attended a webinar would buy your products or services. You would then need to work out an automated sequence to get people into your webinar.\nThey sign up as an email subscriber\nYou send them a really good guide for free, two days later\nIf they click on the guide, you send them an invite to a webinar as they have shown interest.\nIf they don\u2019t click on the guide, you send them an automated email two days later to remind them to click on it. You know that when they read the guide, they will be more impressed with you and your company, so are more likely to do business with you.\nBehind the scenes, you are creating a contact record. You start off with an email address. When someone gets the guide, you add this to the contact record. When they click on the guide, this is noted. When they sign up to the webinar, you collect some additional information about them and then you use that for targeting in the future.\nAfter the webinar, you automatically send the people who didn\u2019t attend a message about another webinar they can go to.\nYou automatically assign people who attended the webinar to a sales person who tries to close the sale.\nNow you can see where the automation kicks in.\nThe majority of tools have some type of visual interface that allows you to create these automated sequences, because they can become quite complicated. But can you see the benefit?\nHere\u2019s an example of a basic sequence in Infusionsoft. The sequence is kicked off when there\u2019s an email sign up. The user\u2019s details are registered in the database and an initial email is sent. Then, three days later a follow-up email is generated.\nThis is the sequence of events that happens when you sign up to a newsletter\nMost tools provide lead scoring capabilities, so you can assign a higher score to a lead as they progress through the sales funnel. This provides an easier way to identify leads with real potential.\nFor example, imagine if you decided that it\u2019s worth ringing your email subscriber up when their lead score was 100. To get to a lead score of 100 they will have had to perform a series of actions. The communication that kicks of these requests for action could be automated, and the lead score could be automatically calculated, for example,\nSign up as an email subscriber = 10 points\nDownload a guide = 20 points\nDownload a second guide = 20 points\nAttend a webinar = 30 points.\nAs you want to capture as many leads as possible, the tool providers often include facilities for creating custom landing pages for your site, that you can use to get people to sign up for webinars, product launches, email subscriptions etc.\nWith this software, you can easily create custom pages to add to your site that will help with your conversion rates. Here is an example of the landing page creation tool provided by Ontraport.\nOntraport provides a tool for easily creating landing pages\nYour CRM (Customer Relationship Management) database is where all the details of the people/companies you are interacting with are stored. Marketing automation tools may have a basic CRM database, with integration available to some third-party CRM providers (e.g. Salesforce), or it might include more advanced CRM functionality built in.\nAs a lot of interaction with your current and potential customers happens through social media channels, it\u2019s really important that this is part of your marketing automation tool. You can monitor, kick start and record conversations. We will talk more about social media integration shortly.\nContent Creation Capabilities\nConsider your marketing automation to be a beast that needs feeding. You can feed it with new people, and one way of doing this is to create content that attracts people to your site. For example, HubSpot have a facility for creating blog content, and this helps feed the beast.\nThere is typically some analytics integration within marketing automation tools so that you can track which of your existing subscribers visit your website. You can even include this within some automation. For example, if someone from a particular IP address visits the \u2018buy now\u2019 page on our website, we could send them an email with a discount to our product three days later if they don\u2019t make a purchase.\nDifferent tools will also have more general analytics so you can see your pipeline, the status of your lead nurturing, sales generated etc.\nThe degree of e-commerce functionality can vary from just being enough to integrate with payment gateways (e.g. Paypal and Stripe), or it could be more advanced and integrate with shopping cart facilities. If you have large, complex e-commerce requirements it\u2019s unlikely that any marketing automation tool will have all the functionality you need, so you\u2019ll have to consider a third-party tool.\nHow does marketing automation affect social media?\nThe initial conversation with your potential customer can happen anywhere and doesn\u2019t have to kick off with an email. For example, when someone mentions your brand in a tweet, you can look up your contact database and see if you have got them listed. If you have, maybe you want to record that they have tweeted. This can be done automatically.\nDo you want to automate any messages through social media? It may seem like a bad idea but, if handled correctly, it can work.\nFor example, Insight Pool allows you to build up automation around social media. You can target specific Twitter followers and send them a personalised message based on their previous tweets, perhaps something like, \u201cHey John, as an existing customer I thought you\u2019d like to know about our 25% discount offer\u201d.\nOf course, you can\u2019t send out 1,000 of these messages in one day, but how about selecting the most relevant and targeted people and delivering this to a small list?\nSo, social media is an important part of marketing automation and, increasingly, you will see marketing automation vendors integrating more with social channels. You can already see that some of them are starting to provide social media management capabilities, so we can expect to see more of this.\nWhat are the tools in this area?\nThere is a wide variety of tools to consider in this area and maybe this is a topic for another post!\nHere is an example list of some of the tools:\nSalesFormics\nThere are many more, it\u2019s a fast growing space!\nHow to achieve Return of Investment with Marketing Automation\nI recently did a report for VentureBeat on how to achieve return of investment with Marketing automation and the research produced was very interesting. Based on the survey here\u2019s some of the issues people had achieving ROI:\nComplexity of software 18.5%\nLack of Resources 26.9%\nLack of Skills 18.5%\nThe full report (paid report) is on Venturebeat.\nMarketing automation is a very important area of business, and the vendors of these tools will start doing more work around the area of social media integration and automation. Because so much of the conversation is happening over social media channels, it\u2019s a key aspect of marketing automation.\nHave you got any plans or experience with marketing automation tools? I\u2019d love to hear your feedback.",

        "raw_content": "Former Vikings head coach returns to Valley\nA member of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Western Nevada, Carson Valley site, practices running drills with Todd Downing, senior offensive assistant of the Minnesota Vikings and former offensive coordinator for the Oakland Raiders, during last year\u2019s Battle Born Football Clinic and \u201cFor the Kids\u201d charity event. This year\u2019s event takes place June 15-17.\nThe eighth annual charity golf tournament weekend \"For the Kids\" hosted by Mike Tice, former head coach of the Minnesota Vikings and more recently offensive line coach for the Oakland Raiders, will take place June 15-17. Funds raised during the weekend will go toward building a Clubhouse for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Western Nevada in the Carson Valley, which is currently located at Pau Wa Lu Middle School.\nTice has expanded the event and invites community members to attend the inaugural Carson Valley Music, Food & Brew Fest June 15, at TJ's Corral at the Carson Valley Inn, a concert by Granger Smith June 16, also at TJ's Corral, and the annual golf tournament, barbecue and live auction June 17, at Genoa Lakes Golf Club in Genoa. All events are open to the public.\n\"I first reached out to my long-time friend, Mike Pegram, owner of Carson Valley Inn, several years ago to hold a golf event for friends,\" Tice said. \"He asked if I would consider raising money for a local charity and recommended the Boys & Girls Clubs of Western Nevada. Over the past seven years, we've raised over $400,000 toward a new building for Carson Valley kids. Mr. Pegram has matched every dollar raised which has gone toward operations for the existing Clubhouse.\"\nKatie Leao, chief professional officer for the Club said in an effort to involve more Carson Valley residents and local businesses, tickets to individual events during the weekend and all-inclusive packages, as well as sponsorship opportunities are available. The Pink House, a cheese and charcuterie shop located in Genoa, has stepped up as the headline sponsor, and the Battle Born Youth Football Clinic, open only to Club members, has been sponsored by Baker Hughes, a GE Company.\n\"Mike Tice, his guests and Mike Pegram have been fantastic partners in our community,\" Leao said. \"We know his goal is to build this Clubhouse before he retires, so this year we are building a bridge between the celebrity event and the community to continue the work to build our new Clubhouse.\"\nLeao said more than 140 of Tice's guests have participated over the years.\n\"This year we are really looking to encourage the community to join in and have fun playing golf or socializing with greats from the NFL and other celebrities, while supporting our youth and providing them a fun, safe environment after school,\" she said.\nThe fundraiser contributes a quarter of the Carson Valley Club's annual operating budget and the Club needs to have three years of operating costs in the bank before a new Clubhouse can be opened, Leao said, which is why Tice is seeking community support.\n\"It's important to me to have more local involvement this year,\" Tice said. \"We're working toward a Clubhouse for Carson Valley kids and trying to invigorate the community to rally to the cause. We've added more events, as well as opportunities for locals to golf and spend time with coaches and past players, such as Jack Del Rio, Todd Downing, and Jim McMahon.\"\nTaylor Lambert, unit director for Boys & Girls Clubs of Western Nevada Carson Valley, said Club membership has grown significantly over the past few years and they have reached capacity.\n\"We serve 361 Carson Valley students a year,\" Lambert said. \"We use every inch of space we can at our current location, but we have outgrown it. A new Clubhouse would allow us to expand our membership and to offer even more programs and services to help our kids shape their bright futures.\"\nFor information or to purchase event tickets, all-inclusive packages, or sponsorships, visit https://www.miketiceforthekids.com/.",

        "title": "Preferred Employer Discounts at TCC Apartments - Rent Tally",
        "raw_content": "I noticed some apartments near TCC offer preferred employer discounts, what\u2019s that?\nAnswered byNick SutterDecember 4, 2014\nIf you are looking at more affordable options for apartments near TCC, you may have noticed that some complexes offer preferred employer discounts. What this means, is that you will save a certain amount on your rent or signing fees if you work for a certain employer.\nWhy would TCC apartments do this, is it to force you to change your job to save money? Well, it\u2019s not a policy to make you work somewhere, as much as it is a policy to encourage people who work there to live in the apartment\u2019s complex. Preferred employer discounts are focused on employees living in the local area.\nIt\u2019s a further incentive offered by apartments near TCC, so that employers who work in the area will be encouraged to live in the complex. Not only do they get to be near their work, but they also save money in the process. So, TCC apartments that offer this might have an edge over complexes that do not.\nMakes sense right? It\u2019s basically a marketing tactic for apartments near TCC to get an edge over competition, and it only benefits the people who work in the local area. If you are wondering why TCC apartments just don\u2019t discount their prices all around so that everyone has an incentive to live there, it\u2019s because that is unfeasible.\nOffering a discount to people who also work in the local area is not only much more likely to work, but also does not dilute all the revenue. TCC apartments wouldn\u2019t offer this if they knew it wouldn\u2019t benefit them financially, and that would not happen if they slashed prices all around.\nSo, if you are someone who is qualified for this reduction in your rent at several apartments near TCC, you may be wondering if there are any other benefits. The answer to your curiosity is yes.\nAn incentive to have local employees living at these apartments near TCC means that you would be living with other people who work in the area. This means that you might even live near some of your co-workers, which can be great if you are new to the area. It is always nice to have a familiar face nearby. Who knows, with such similar schedules, you might even make a new friend.\nYou also have the added benefit of carpooling, whether to work or to do simple things such as grocery shopping. So, now you can save money not only on rent, but also with gas. After all, why take two cares when you are going to the same place?\nAll in all, living at TCC apartments that offer preferred employer discounts isn\u2019t a bad deal if you qualify. Not only does it save you money, but it also gives you opportunity. If you need any help deciding between the apartments near TCC that you are considering, from 32303 to 32308, make sure to utilize our search engine right here at RentTally.

As fate would have it, I met a girl, the valedictorian of our high school class, who encouraged me to apply myself scholastically... the result was graduating summa cum laude at Rutgers University.\nStrangely enough I was a teetotaler until the age of 23 when a partner at Arthur Andersen & Co, where I was employed as a CPA, insisted that I had to learn to drink socially if I ever wanted to get ahead in business.\nMy dad, a devout beer drinker (I believe Schlitz was his brand of choice) whose hand never held a glass of wine clearly was not going to be the partner\u2019s idea of a wine mentor. Lucky for me a neighbor, Dr. Preece, was more than willing to take on that role. Doc\u2019s sphere of friends were at the upper ends of society... I saw pictures of him with President Eisenhower (no kidding) and other social elites... I was impressed!!!\nDoc started my wine education beginning in Spain... I can still taste my first bottle of 1966 Cune Grand Reserva. This wine got my wine collecting career started... ahh the purity of old aged Tempranillo!\nTo my good fortune, my marketing company took off and I began to regularly dine with CEO\u2019s and influential clients where $100+ bottles of wine were the norm... witness the birth of one\u2019s palate.\nWhat was at first a perk of my business soon became a consuming passion. After selling my business, I moved my family to the West Coast to look at potential sites for a vineyard and winery. At first focusing on the Sonoma Coast... I ended up in the Umpqua Valley of Oregon.\nIn 2001, I purchased 200 acres in the heart of the Umpqua Valley. 40 acres of hillside (some places in excess of 35% grade) were plotted out for the vineyard. With the help of Greg Jones, Southern Oregon University Climatologist, and John Gladstone, author of Viticulture and Environment, I found 14 different varietals that would grow well at the site. One of which, Gr\u00fcner Veltliner, was at the time unknown in the United States. I became the first to produce this varietal stateside with our 2005 vintage.\nThe love affair with Gr\u00fcner Veltliner began in the 1990\u2019s when I embarked on a motorcycle trip through the Austrian alps. It was on this trip that I first tasted the varietal... it would become my love story that would bring home Gold medals each and every year.\nA self-taught winemaker, I used the first few years as the vineyard was being established to invest heavily in course materials from U.C. Davis, as well as recruiting help from top winemakers from the Willamette and Umpqua Valley. The first vintage of Reustle - Prayer Rock Vineyards wine became available in 2004, and substantial growth and accolades have followed.\nIn 2008, winemaking moved from our \u201ccarriage house\u201d to a new state-of-the-art winery and cave built on the estate. Two years later, Reustle - Prayer Rock Vineyards was named 2010 Small Winery of the Year at Riverside International Wine Competition.\nI and my wife Gloria and our two children live a short walk from the winery. Gloria heads up the tasting room, when not shuttling our children to soccer tournaments and volleyball games.",

        "raw_content": "After strike, Los Angeles teachers aim at California tax reform\nLOS ANGELES (Reuters) - After settling a strike that galvanized support for long-neglected public schools in America\u2019s second-largest school district, the Los Angeles teachers union is turning its sights on major new sources of sustained education funding.\nFILE PHOTO: Teachers gather at Grand Park in Los Angeles for a rally after their union reached a deal with school district officials on a new proposed contract in Los Angeles, California, U.S., January 22, 2019. REUTERS/Alex Dobuzinskis/File Photo\nThe head of the United Teachers Los Angeles (UTLA) union, Alex Caputo-Pearl, says teachers will campaign for a 2020 California ballot initiative to roll back Proposition 13. The landmark 1978 ballot initiative, capping real estate levies, is widely credited with igniting a nationwide taxpayers revolt.\n\u201cWe\u2019ve all got a lot of work to do to make sure that that ballot initiative passes,\u201d he said in public remarks this week, stressing the union\u2019s determination to restore for public schools a vital revenue source that was stunted 40 years ago.\nUnder the 2020 ballot initiative dubbed \u201cSchools and Communities First,\u201d commercial and industrial property would once again be taxed by local governments according to market value. The limits on residential taxes under Prop 13 would be left intact, a system called \u201csplit roll.\u201d\nThe initiative could raise $6 billion to $10 billion annually if passed by voters, a state analysis concluded.\nThe teachers union has already joined the initiative\u2019s steering committee.\nMoreover, the new teachers\u2019 contract itself calls for Mayor Eric Garcetti, who mediated the strike talks, to endorse the measure and to work with both UTLA and the Los Angeles Unified School District in advocating for its passage.\nBATTLE OVER \u2018SACRED\u2019 DOCTRINE\nThey face formidable opposition.\nA coalition of business groups and anti-tax advocates has pledged to spend as much as $100 million to defeat the 2020 ballot measure, according to the California Business Roundtable, a non-partisan organization comprised of executives from major employers.\nThey argue tax burdens have climbed over the years and scaling back Prop 13 will undermine an already tough business climate in California, a state of 40 million people that ranks as the world\u2019s fifth largest economy.\nProp 13 supporters accuse public employee unions of continuing to push for higher taxes to pay for runaway pension and healthcare costs that are diverting existing tax revenues away from classrooms and other priorities.\nBusiness Roundtable President Rob Lapsley went so far as to say the teachers strike, framed as a struggle for the sake of students, was a calculated \u201cstrategy\u201d to launch an attack on Prop 13 for the union\u2019s benefit.\n\u201cIt was only about teachers,\u201d Lapsley told Reuters. \u201cIt was all to start a campaign for split roll. It is not about the kids.\u201d\nMore than 30,000 Los Angeles teachers returned to the job on Wednesday from a strike spanning six school days. A new contract gave teachers an immediate pay raise of 6 percent, slightly less than the 6.5 percent they had sought. They also won reduced class sizes, the hiring of more support staff and other concessions from the school district.\nCalifornia Governor Gavin Newsom, a Democrat who has cast himself as a practical progressive, said during his first budget presentation two weeks ago he wants to use the looming ballot fight to bring \u201cthe parties together to see if we can compromise on a more comprehensive tax package.\u201d\nNewsom acknowledged property taxes are a steadier source of revenue than income taxes, much of which consist of relatively volatile capital gains receipts.\nHe also noted Prop 13 remains a pillar of California\u2019s fiscal policy, a long-popular statute that even his predecessor, four-term Democrat Jerry Brown, once called a \u201csacred doctrine.\u201d\nBut the prospect $10 billion a year or more in new revenue is highly appealing to educators.\nThat sum equates to nearly $2,000 a year per student statewide - close to half of the current expenditure gap experts have identified for elementary and secondary public schools, said John Rogers, a graduate professor of education for the University of California at Los Angeles.\nThe teachers\u2019 strike, he said, helped pave the way for a broader debate in Sacramento over taxes and education.\n\u201cThey needed to set the agenda for the state, and that\u2019s exactly what they did,\u201d Rogers said.\nReporting by Steve Gorman in Los Angeles; editing by Bill Tarrant and Grant McCool",

This is a blessing because it gets his work out their into the masses, making him well known among the common people. It is a curse due to how terrible most of these are. With adapting King's work, unless you really know what you are doing (ex. Brian de Palma and Stanley Kubrick), you will destroy and crash the project. This has happened many time and bound to happen even more. With the case of The Langoliers, this is a mix bag. It is not good, but it is bad in the 'so bad it is good' stance. This is one of the few short stories of King's I have not yet read, but after this film, it makes me want to read it so I can see how King had the story in mind. The basic idea of the film is that a group of people are trapped on an airplane with most of the passengers have disappeared like in Left Behind. The idea is one that has been used before, but with how it is presented on film does leave things questionable with Tom Holland's directing. Honestly, he could have made this film a bit shorter than it already is. He uses the three hours to develop that characters, but the problem is that we never truly care about what happens to any of them. I did not care if they were going to be right, if they were going to die, etc. Holland is known for making some okay horror comedies, but this film he does not do that good of a job with. Quite sad due to how much this film has as potential. The acting, I don't know if this was on purpose, is funny as crap. Everyone is overacting, no one is taking this film seriously, and it is just hilarious to see everyone try to act serious about a situation that is illogical and not that well thought out. But, the actor that just steals the show is Bronson Pinchot. I never seen an actor who overreacts, over does his lines, and raises his voice so high it sounds like his balls were chopped off. He is simply fantastic at being terrible in this film. Kate Maberly does a note worthy job in this film playing a blind girl throughout this film. While it is not a perfect performance (there are times when you know that she is faking), it is mediocre and better than most of the stale performance throughout the film. I might be a bit harsh on this film, seeing as how I have never read the original story, but this film is not really that good as a film or miniseries. In a critical sense. The acting is kind of trash, the direction is confusing at times, and the script should have been rewritten about a few hundred times. But, I still like this film because it is fun, enjoyable, and funny as crap in so many ways it is unrealistic. Everything from the over the top acting to the terrible script works as a comedy. Taken a black comedy, but a comedy none the less. If you go into this film looking for a serious Stephen King Horror story, you will be disappointed. Go into this with a comedic mind. You will get far more out of it. Even more out of Bronson Pinchot's performance.\nZach Brehany\nNot a bad tv movie. The book is, as usual, better in telling the story of what happens when time passes but this was done well. The cheesy CGI effects used are pretty bad but forgivable given when this was made and the fact that it was done for tv. There are other Stephen King books I would have rather seen given the live action treatment though.\nI have to say I enjoyed this film a lot. I hadn't heard of it before but I found the film interesting. This film provides an interesting take on time travel not depicted in other time travel movies. To be perfectly honest I did not see this as a scare film. It was not remotely frightening to me, but that did not prove to be a negative part to it. The story is brilliantly told, and the sfx weren't that bad. It was clearly an unreal format of effects, but this added to the unique structure. Overall I enjoyed the Langoliers, a story of mystery and adventure crammed with plot twists.\nI saw this a couple of years ago and it wasn't too bad. Very interesting and a bit creepy.\nStephen King's 'The Langoliers' Quotes\nDinah Catherine: Yes, but you need to hurry. (x1000)\nDinah Catherine: Yes, but you need to hurry.",

        "title": "Paraguay To Legalize State-Sponsored Medical Cannabis Cultivation - RQS Blog",
        "raw_content": "Paraguay To Legalize State-Sponsored Medical Cannabis Cultivation\nThe Paraguayan congress has announced an uncontested piece of legislation to allow for domestic, state-sponsored cultivation of medical cannabis. This decision comes as a response to increasing acceptance of cannabis as medicine in South America, as well as from a desire to quell drug-related violence.\nParaguay\u2019s congress has agreed to begin a state-sponsored program to cultivate cannabis. The plan is to import seeds and grow domestically. The legislation is on track to being signed into law with no objections from any camp.\nThis is not the only victory for medical cannabis in Paraguay this year. In May, the Health Ministry was given the authority to import cannabis oil.\nThe landlocked country now joins Argentina, Chile, Colombia, and Peru in recognising cannabis as medicine. In terms of reform, Uruguay currently leads the pack throughout the subcontinent. The country has legalized both recreational and medical use.\nTHE END OF THE DRUG WAR?\nThe South American drug war was one of the hallmarks of American foreign policy regionally for over 40 years. As cannabis has legalized north of the Rio Grande, however, positions are changing. Many in government see legalization as an antidote to the cartels.\nSurprisingly, drug-related violence has not been a feature of Paraguay until recently. It is surprising for one big reason; Paraguay produces about 9% of the world\u2019s total illicit cannabis crop. A Latin-American Turkish Express, in other words. Less than 1% of the population actually consumes the drug. The vast majority is produced for black market export. 80% of the country\u2019s crop ends up in Brazil.\nThat changed last year. The most powerful drug lord in the country was assassinated. Significant cartel-related violence has broken out over a subsequent territory grab. This in turn has drawn in international forces. Local authorities cannot handle the carnage on their own.\nLegalization - even if purely medical - is being seen as a way to stem the violence. Half a world away, the Turkish government has recently done the same thing. And that is also cause for hope in a world where cannabis legalization has frequently stalled.\nA GLOBAL EXPORT MARKET IS BEING BORN\nOne thing is very clear as 2017 comes to a close. Countries are choosing to accept the inevitability of medical cannabis in some form or another. Even if it is for one of several reasons. One is clearly the actual acceptance of the medical efficacy of cannabinoids. The other originates from a desire to quell violence from black market trade.\nWhatever the reason, this is impetus for the global rescheduling of cannabinoids. There are many hiccups that can and will occur. However, recognition of the medical efficacy of cannabis is here to stay.\nWho will be given access and when is the next big question. Where and how cannabis will produced and sold is another piece of the conversation. Domestic production facilities mean additional reform will be sure to follow.\nThe year 2017 saw a major international shift on the cannabis front. More countries are both legalizing and moving forward with domestic cultivation. And that is major cause for holiday cheer.\nDOMESTIC PRODUCTION IS ON THE RISE\n2018 will begin on a high note for reform. For the first time, there will be a global community of legal cultivators. This in turn means rapid advances for the industry. Grow-tech is one of them, as is experimentation with new strains.\nResearch will also be on an upward trend as national laboratories finally prioritise cannabinoid research for a wealth of chronic and acute human conditions.\nGOOD OMENS FOR THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE\nThe Paraguayan congress\u2019 decision in itself is positive. But it is also a sign of something else that is even more exciting; it means that the majority of countries in the Western hemisphere are now in the column of medical use. This is also happening at a time when Europe has already made the shift. As momentum continues to build, the coming year will reveal which countries are ready to stay the course.",

        "raw_content": "Suppliers for high-power lasers\nThe RP Photonics Buyer's Guide contains 43 suppliers for high-power lasers.\nAsk RP Photonics for advice on high-power lasers, e.g. available technologies, limiting factors, etc.\nDefinition: lasers emitting very high optical powers\nGerman: Hochleistungslaser\nLasers with high output powers are required for a number of applications, e.g. for\nmaterial processing (welding, cutting, drilling, soldering, marking, surface modification)\nlarge-scale laser displays (\u2192 RGB sources)\nremote sensing (e.g. with LIDAR)\nmedical applications (e.g. surgery)\nmilitary applications (e.g. anti-missile weapons)\nfundamental science (e.g. particle acceleration)\nlaser-induced nuclear fusion (e.g. in the NIF project)\nMaterial processing with high-power lasers is the second largest segment of laser applications concerning global turnovers (after communications).\nThere is no commonly accepted definition of the property \u201chigh power\u201d; in the context of laser material processing, it usually means multiple kilowatts or at least a few hundred watts, whereas for laser displays some tens of watts many already be considered high. In some areas, this label is assigned simply for generating a significantly higher output power than other lasers based on the same technology; for example, some \u201chigh-powered\u201d laser pointers emit a few hundred milliwatts, whereas ordinary laser pointers are limited to a few milliwatts.\nAdditional aspects come into play for pulsed lasers. For example, the peak power may be as important as the average output power for a Q-switched laser. Depending on the pulse repetition rate and pulse duration, the peak power may be very high even for a laser with a moderate average output power. Usually, a high average power and not only a high peak power is expected from a high-power laser.\nThe generation of high optical powers in lasers involves a number of technical challenges:\nOne requires one or several powerful pump sources. While lamp pumping was originally the only viable approach for most solid-state lasers, pumping with high-power laser diodes (diode bars or diode stacks) has become more and more widespread. Diode-pumped lasers now offer the highest output powers in continuous-wave operation. For very high pulse energies (e.g. tens of joules), lamp pumping is still more practical.\nAt least for long-term continuous-wave operation, a high wall-plug efficiency is an important economic factor. Unfortunately, various technical challenges (e.g. thermal effects, see below) tend to make it more difficult at very high power levels to achieve a good efficiency.\nEven in a fairly efficient gain medium, a substantial fraction of the pump power is converted into heat, which can have a number of detrimental side effects. In the worst case, thermally induced stress leads to fracture of the laser crystal. High-power solid-state lasers also exhibit strong thermal lensing, making it substantially more difficult to achieve a high beam quality. In lasers with polarized output, depolarization loss often compromises the efficiency. Efficient heat removal and thermal management are therefore important issues, and additional measures (e.g. in the context of resonator design) are often required for coping with various kinds of thermal effects.\nParticularly in Q-switched lasers, very high optical intensities can occur, which may lead to laser-induced damage of optics (such as laser mirrors) e.g. via laser-induced breakdown. Even if the optical intensities remain well below the damage threshold of all optical elements, tiny dust particles can provoke damage phenomena. It can therefore be essential to keep the laser setup very clean, e.g. by operating it in a sealed case which may be opened only in a clean room. In addition, it can be imperative to use precision optics with a high optical damage threshold.\nVarious types of nonlinear effects can also become relevant, particularly in high-power fiber lasers. Examples are stimulated Raman scattering, Brillouin scattering and four-wave mixing.\nLaser resonators with large effective mode areas tend to be sensitive to misalignment and vibrations of optical components. It can therefore be more challenging to achieve robust maintenance-free operation and a good beam pointing stability.\nTypes of High-power Lasers\nThere are several different types of high-power lasers:\nHigh-power diode bars and diode stacks have already been mentioned above as possible pump sources for solid-state lasers. They allow the generation of kilowatts of output power, but with a poor beam quality. For some applications, where beam quality is not essential, the direct use of high-power laser diodes (\u2192 direct diode lasers) e.g. for laser welding, soldering and brazing, cladding and heat treatment, is an interesting option, offering a comparatively simple, compact, cost-effective and energy-efficient solution.\nThere are various types of lamp-pumped or diode-pumped solid-state bulk lasers. Rod lasers can be optimized for several kilowatts of output power, but diffraction-limited beam quality is possible only up to a few hundred watts (with significant efforts). Slab lasers can be developed for tens of kilowatts or more with relatively high beam quality. Thin-disk lasers easily generate hundreds of watts with diffraction-limited beam quality and have the potential to reach that even at power levels well above 10 kW. The power efficiency is usually fairly good.\nHigh-power fiber lasers and amplifiers can generate up to a few kilowatts with close to diffraction-limited beams and high power efficiency. With relaxed beam quality requirements, even significantly higher powers are possible. Strictly, such fiber devices are often not lasers, but master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) configurations.\nSome gas lasers, e.g. CO2 lasers and excimer lasers, are also suitable for hundreds or thousands of watts of output power. They typically operate in different other regions than solid-state lasers, e.g. in the mid-infrared or ultraviolet region.\nThere are chemical lasers with multi-kilowatt or even megawatt output powers, explored e.g. in the context of anti-missile weapons.\nA perhaps not very practical, but theoretically very interesting high-power laser concept is that of the radiation-balanced laser. Here, the heat generation in the gain medium is essentially eliminated by optical refrigeration.\nAn aspect of great importance for further laser development is that of power scaling, based on certain power-scalable laser architectures. Even for not power-scalable laser types, it can be very helpful to understand the scaling properties of various parts or techniques.\nThe use of high-power lasers raises important issues on laser safety:\nThe output powers are far higher than what any eye can tolerate, so that even tiny parasitic reflections must be safely prevented from reaching an eye. Even the use of strongly absorbing laser goggles may not be sufficient, as such glasses may not be able to stand such high optical intensities for more than a brief moment of time.\nThe skin and clothes of workers are also at risk in environments where optical powers and intensities are sufficient e.g. for laser cutting of metals.\nHigh-power laser beams may incinerate materials such as plastics or wood. That happens easily already for laser powers of the order of 1 W. Fire protection is therefore an important issue. Also, the formation of poisonous fumes needs to be avoided, or such fumes have to be efficiently removed.\nThere are various types of risks which are not related to the laser beams themselves. In particular, high-power electric power supplies often involve high electric voltages, which can cause electric shocks. Power cables, which can be damaged in a harsh industrial environment, can also create hazards.\nAn important safety principle in the area of high-power lasers is to enclose the laser setup with a solid housing, and ideally also the whole area where dangerous laser beams can be present. Interlocks can prevent the operation of a laser at times where persons are in a hazardous area.\nThe RP Photonics Buyer's Guide contains 43 suppliers for high-power lasers. Among them:\nLaser Quantum manufacturers both continuous wave and ultrafast lasers with high output power, such as the finesse laser family with output powers of up to 16 W.\nSee also: thermal lensing, nonlinearities, power scaling of lasers, thin-disk lasers, slab lasers, rod lasers, lamp-pumped lasers, high-power fiber lasers and amplifiers, cryogenic lasers, radiation-balanced lasers, direct diode lasers, laser safety\nThis encyclopedia is authored by Dr. R\u00fcdiger Paschotta, the founder and executive of RP Photonics Consulting GmbH.

        "raw_content": "Jerry Fish celebrates late bandmate with new song and video\nUpdated / Monday, 10 Jul 2017 15:11\nJerry Fish: \"Now that Martin is gone the music has become a little more important and special.\"\nTo prove that true friends never part, singer and performer Jerry Fish has released a new version of one of his oldest songs to pay homage to his late friend and bandmate Martin Murphy, who he performed with in nineties band An Emotional Fish.\nMartin, who played drums in the Dublin band, passed away last January and now Jerry, who currently performs as The Jerry Fish Electric Sideshow, has released a new interpretation of Blue, a song from An Emotional Fish\u2019s debut album, which went on to be the band\u2019s biggest hit after their most famous track Celebrate.\nIt\u2019s been re-imagined as an elegy and tribute to Martin with strings by pianist Cian Boylan and harmonies from former Fight Like Apes singer MayKay. It also comes with an atmospheric video directed by Crooked Gentlemen, featuring a performance by Electric Sideshow regular Foxy P Cox of Beaut\u00e9 de cirque.\nSpeaking to RT\u00c9 Entertainment, Jerry said: \"Martin was a big softie, a bit of an angel really. He never had a bad word to say about anyone.\n\"He really was a gent and within the band, he was the guy who would often dissipate the friction and the guy who when we were arguing over a mix, he\u2019d pick the right one. Now that he\u2019s gone the music has become a little more important and special.\"\nTrue friends never part: An Emotional Fish drummer Martin Murphy passed away last January\nJerry decided to rework and release Blue after he sang the song with Jill Turner, who also appeared on the original, at Martin\u2019s funeral.\n\"After I sang it I thought how can that just disappear like that? It\u2019s 27 years since the song came out, which is a ridiculous amount of time. For a young person, it\u2019s a lifetime. Lyrically the song still works today. It stuck out for me lyrically because I think it\u2019s still relevant today.\"\nRevisiting one of An Emotional Fish\u2019s oldest songs gave him pause for thought about his time with the band. The Dublin fourpiece - which also featured Dave Frew on guitar and Enda Wyatt on bass - were signed to a major label in 1990 and, like many Irish acts in the post-U2 gold rush, were overly-hyped.\nThe debonair and piratical Mr Fish\n\"Some people always say wasn\u2019t it a pity that you weren\u2019t bigger and I think maybe that\u2019s a very Irish thing - `Ya nearly made it!' Well, we had a f***ing amazing time!\" he says.\n\"Very few bands get to do what we did, tour the world. Look at the video for Lace Virginia . . . I was one of the first guys to give Kate Moss a gig! Hahahaha.\n\"We had a lot of fun. We loved what we did and we were very lucky really and I call that success. We were signed by Ahmet Ertegun. Things did fall asunder at the end but it does with most bands.\n\"We were the first band to be sponsored by BBC Radio 1, which the NME didn\u2019t like but now the NME and BBC Radio 1 run gigs together so we were just ahead of the curve, haha. Where I grew up, I never thought I\u2019d even get a visa for America let alone see every state in it!\"\nJerry is currently working on a project much closer to home. \"I grew up in London but all my family are from around the mouth of the River Liffey and I\u2019m actually booked into the Fringe Theatre Festival later this year to do my life story. It's called Misery Hill because I reckon I\u2019m descended from pirates who were all hung on Misery Hill way back.\"\nMr Fish and co will also be taking up their now annual residency at the The Jerry Fish Electric Sideshow at Electric Picnic in Co Laois this September. \"I\u2019ll be there with my bendy rule book making as much of a mess of things as I can.\n\"I\u2019ve got some great circus cabaret fringe artists coming over as well as well as the usual madness of a crazy rock `n\u2019 roll band. What I try and create there is a festival within a festival. It\u2019s a family affair.\"\nJerry Fish loves the energy of The Strypes Entertainment",

        "title": "Fabulous Immigration News - The Rush Limbaugh Show",
        "raw_content": "Fabulous Immigration News\nRUSH: Now, look, folks, immigration. There\u2019s some fabulous, fabulous, just amazing news on this today. \u2018Seventy percent (70%) of Massachusetts voters favor a proposal recently rejected by the state legislature that would stop illegal immigrants from receiving public benefits.\u2019 Seventy percent, in Ted Kennedy\u2019s state out there. \u2018A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey shows that just 17% oppose the proposal to prevent illegal immigrants from gaining access to public housing, unemployment benefits, welfare or workers compensation. \u2026 The proposal failed to pass in the Democratically-controlled State House last month by a 75 to 82 vote.\u2019 So once again the Democrats are governing against the will of the voters, which is exactly what Obama is doing. Obama doesn\u2019t care what the people want so he\u2019s not gonna bend to any public opinion or public opposition, and the Democrats throughout the country are not, either. This is not gonna stand \u2019em in good stead. Once people figure out en masse \u2014 and it\u2019s happening \u2014 that the Democrats are a minority and are governing against the will of the people, that they are siding against the American people, that\u2019s something that these people pay for down the road.\n\u2018Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer signed a bill targeting a school district\u2019s ethnic studies program on Tuesday, hours after a report by United Nations human rights experts condemned the measure.\u2019 The United Nations had to look at what\u2019s going on in Arizona, condemned it. This is another thing that\u2019s gonna cement support for Arizona. \u2018State schools chief Tom Horne, who has pushed the measure for years, said a Tucson school district program promotes \u2018ethnic chauvinism\u2019 and racial resentment toward whites while segregating students by race. \u2018It\u2019s just like the old South, and it\u2019s long past time that we prohibited it,\u2019 Horne said. The measure prohibits classes that advocate ethnic solidarity, that are designed primarily for students of a particular race or that promote resentment toward a certain ethnic group. It also prohibits classes that promote the overthrow of the U.S. government. The Tucson Unified School District program offers specialized courses in African-American, Mexican-American and Native-American studies that focus on history and literature and include information about the influence of a particular ethnic group.\n\u2018A Republican running for attorney general, Horne has been trying to restrict the program ever since he learned that Hispanic civil rights activist Dolores Huerta in 2006 told students that \u2018Republicans hate Latinos.\u201d That was being taught in Tucson. Republicans hate Latinos. So we have the new law. Now we got the United Nations checking on the new law in Arizona. Now, ethnic studies classes. You know what ethnic studies classes really are? Racial profiling, are they not? If you\u2019re going to sit out there and say Republicans hate Latinos, are you not profiling? You most certainly are. So liberals can do all the profiling they want and they can say to anybody that anybody else is a racist, a sexist, a bigot, a homophobe, they can do that with impunity and they\u2019re not accused of profiling. Like I said yesterday, I\u2019ve been profiled my whole life simply because I\u2019m a conservative. All conservatives are profiled every day and nobody ever says a word about it.\nThere is a new poll out that is just stunning. We are three weeks from the governor signing this immigration bill in Arizona. The American public broadly supports a new Arizona law aimed at dealing with illegal immigration and the law\u2019s provisions giving the cops increased powers to stop and detain people who are suspected of being in the country illegally. Seventy-three percent of the American people, fully, 73% \u2014 and this is a Pew Center for the People and the Press poll. \u2018Fully 73% say they approve of requiring people to produce documents verifying their legal status if police ask for them. Two-thirds (67%) approve of allowing police to detain anyone who cannot verify their legal status, while 62% approve of allowing police to question people they think may be in the country illegally.\u2019 Now, when you have 73% of the American people supporting the law, how are the Democrats going to then say that the entire nation is a bunch of bigots, that the entire nation is a bunch of racists? I mean they will try, but this is their task. They now have said anybody who opposes this is a Neanderthal, a racist, a bigot, all of these things.\nDo you realize, folks, just like in health care, the support for repeal is growing? Nationwide support for Arizona\u2019s immigration law is growing because people understand, it\u2019s very simple. All Arizona does is find a way to identify who\u2019s here illegally, not by targeting them on anything else. They have to be stopped in the process of any other violation the cops would think might be a violation of the law. But everybody knows, if we don\u2019t seal the border, this is gonna continue to happen no matter if we grant amnesty or not. And people are seeing this massive protest of what\u2019s happening in Arizona and don\u2019t understand it. Democrats, everybody, been talking about securing the border. So here\u2019s a state finally taking it upon itself to do it because the federal government won\u2019t and the Democrat Party is having a cow.\nAnd remember, never forget this. Seventy percent of these voters, if they were identified as Republican voters, the Democrats would have built a fence. The Democrats would have snipers on the border and we\u2019d be picking \u2019em off. And the ones that got through the snipers, we\u2019d put on an Acela train bound for Peru. There wouldn\u2019t be any discussion about fairness, racism, and they just want a better life, there wouldn\u2019t be any of that if it was thought that these illegals were going to vote Republican. Broad approval. This is stunning, stunning stuff.",

        "title": "GOP presidential candidates' tax plans would benefit the rich | San Luis Obispo Tribune",
        "raw_content": "At the same time, most of the Republican candidates are proposing other changes that also would mean big tax cuts for high-income Americans, such as eliminating taxes on dividend income or capital gains, and eliminating the estate tax, called the death tax by Republicans.\nTheir push comes at the same time that Democratic President Barack Obama is pushing to raise taxes on higher-income Americans. He's proposed raising taxes on those making more than $200,000 and has endorsed a push by Senate Democrats to raise taxes on incomes above $1 million.\nThe debate comes as new data show that the very wealthiest Americans have greatly increased their share of U.S. income in recent decades. The richest 1 percent claimed 17 percent of American income in 2007, more than double their 8 percent share in 1979, according to a report this week from the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office. Protest over growing income inequality is also among the motive issues driving the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations around the country.\nPolls show that a solid majority of Americans favor raising taxes on the wealthy. But that's anathema in the Republican Party, where tax cuts, particularly for higher incomes, are popular. Seven in 10 Americans say that policies of Republicans in Congress favor the rich, according to a New York Times poll published Wednesday.\nThere's little doubt the Republican presidential candidates' proposals would cut taxes on the wealthy.\nMost would eliminate taxes on all or some profits on investments. Most of those taxes now are paid by wealthier Americans.\nMost also would eliminate the estate tax, which applies only to estates of $7 million or more and is paid by about 3,270 families each year, according to the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center, a joint project of the Brookings Institution and the Urban Institute, both respected center-left think tanks in Washington.\n\"These are really wealthy families,\" said Roberton Williams, an analyst at the Tax Policy Center.\nA flat tax on income would take away some deductions but lower the rate. Perry, for example, would cut it to 20 percent. Gingrich would cut it to 15 percent. The wealthiest Americans now pay a 35 percent marginal rate on income above $379,950. A detailed analysis by the Tax Policy Center found that the Cain plan would mean an average tax cut of $455,000 for those with incomes above $1 million.\nRomney once criticized a flat tax proposal in 1996 as a boon to the rich, going so far as personally taking out newspaper ads in early primary states to rip the proposal from then-candidate Steve Forbes.\n\"It's a tax cut for fat cats,\" Romney said then.\nWhen he unveiled his economic agenda this year, Romney said he would pursue a \"long-term goal\" of a \"flatter, fairer, simpler structure.\" But he also said he wouldn't change any of the existing personal income tax rates.\nOn Wednesday in Fairfax, Va., he said, \"I'll lay out some additional ways to make the tax code more flat.\"\nWhile the Republican tax proposals would give tax cuts to the wealthy, the candidates have backed away from the appearance of raising taxes on lower-income Americans.\nCain at first denied that his plan would raise taxes on poorer Americans, then changed it after the Tax Policy Center found that the 84 percent of taxpayers would pay more under Cain's plan.\nGingrich notably would keep the Earned Income Tax Credit, which helps lower-income families offset their payroll taxes for Medicare and Social Security. \"Preserving the EITC and Child Tax Credit are critical to ensure that the optional flat tax system does not unfairly target low-income Americans,\" Gingrich says in a website chart comparing his flat tax to Perry's.\nRomney points to his proposal to limit tax cuts on dividends and capital gains to incomes below $250,000. \"My view is that a key to the tax policy is to reduce the tax burden on the people who have been hurt most by the Obama economy, and that's the middle class,\" he said Wednesday.\nGingrich and others have noted, however, that the limit would mean little because people below that threshold pay few taxes on dividends and capital gains.\nAnd Perry would give all taxpayers the option of sticking with the current tax system, meaning no one would have to pay more than they would under today's rules.\n\"That is the wise political move,\" said Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform, a pro-tax-cut group. \"He doesn't say to low-income people, 'We're going to come to get you.'\"\nRick Perry outlines flat tax, Social Security proposals\nCain's 9-9-9 plan: Good for the rich, bad for the poor\nWho should pay for Obama's two-state bus tour, taxpayers or his campaign?\nPerry campaign brings in top Bush adviser from 2000",

        "raw_content": "Your brand identity is a visual representation of who you are and what customers can expect from your business. If you want a premium brand you must be willing to pay premium prices. And, premium prices aren\u2019t always an arm and a leg, it\u2019s just more than what an unprofessional hobbyist will charge. If you want to pay cheap prices, be willing to receive a cheap brand.\nThis quote has been around for decades for a reason\u2013 it\u2019s true. When buy a $20 DVD player you can expect that DVD player to go out on you at some point in the near future. When you buy a $3 phone charger from the gas station, don\u2019t expect it to operate like the manufacturer\u2019s charger that came with your phone. Branding is the same way\u2013 a $20 logo won\u2019t give you the same effectiveness as a $200 logo.\n2. You may not get what\u2019s most effective for your brand\nWe\u2019re in the age of the DIY\u2013 newsflash: just because you did it and you like it, doesn\u2019t mean that it will be the most effective for your particular business. I understand that startups with no money just need to get their fingerprint out there; that\u2019s cool. Even still, you should save up money to invest in a professional logo, website, or at the least a business card. But, certainly after you\u2019ve been in business for a year it\u2019s time to upgrade. Just because it was cheap and you\u2019re excited that you didn\u2019t have to spend a lot of money, doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s the best for your business.\n3. Customer service may not actually be customer service.\nHonestly, when you\u2019re dealing with someone that\u2019s willing to charge you little-to-no-money for a design service, you can\u2019t expect them to cater to your needs. It\u2019s like the old saying goes: \u201cbeggars can\u2019t be choosers.\u201d Cheapskates can\u2019t be divas. You shouldn\u2019t expect, nor can you demand the same customer service you would get from an award-winning design firm. Firms and designers who charge a premium price for their service will go the extra mile to make their clients happy and satisfied. Those who charge you little or nothing may just need clients or want to get their feet wet in the business and you will ultimately have a cheap headache, bad experience and a product that you aren\u2019t pleased with to represent you and your business.\n4. You\u2019re selling yourself short.\nYou\u2019ve invested time, money, and energy in every other area of your business but when it comes to the part of your business customers see before they even reach you, you\u2019ve only invested $5. We\u2019re also in the \u201cGoogle age\u201d where people search for companies and businesses online before they shop. They want to trust you. If you\u2019re not willing to invest in your brand identity, customers may never make it to your physical store. You\u2019re selling yourself short if you have an outdated, underperforming, ineffective website and visual identity.\n5. You\u2019ll end up wanting to change it sooner or later.\nGoing the cheap route in the beginning will always cause you to spend more money in the long-run. There is always consequence in convenience. Investing $50 into a logo or $8.99 per month for a website may be convenient for you, but 1-2 years down the road, you\u2019ll outgrow your $8.99 website, then you\u2019re back at square one. The faster, cheaper route isn\u2019t always best for you. Do it right the first time and you won\u2019t have to spend more money doing it right in the long-run.\nIf you\u2019re a business owner who wants to invest in their brand identity, we\u2019d love to work with you.

        "raw_content": "11 day-after-Thanksgiving walks to discover in southeastern Massachusetts\nThanksgiving is all about family, friends, and delicious food. But after a long day indoors, you might be craving some fresh air. The day after Thanksgiving is a great time to take a walk outside because you can stretch your legs, walk off a big meal, and spend some more quality time with your loved ones. These 11 local walks are perfect to explore with your family on the day after Thanksgiving, or anytime this winter. Find a walk near you, and then get outside and give thanks for the beautiful natural areas we have to enjoy here around Buzzards Bay.\n1. Brookside Conservation Area (Westport)\nEnjoy a peaceful view of Bread and Cheese Brook from the scenic overlook at Brookside Conservation Area in Westport.\nLike apple pie and Thanksgiving, Bread and Cheese Brook sounds like quintessential Americana. And at the Westport Land Conservation Trust\u2019s Brookside Conservation Area, conveniently located off Route 177, you can discover this beautiful waterway with ease.\nAt Brookside Conservation Area, you can explore Bread and Cheese Brook \u2013 the headwaters of the mighty Westport Rivers \u2013 and discover the remains of a century-old granite bridge that once connected Gifford Road to Reed Road. It\u2019s the perfect place to celebrate the holiday by retracing our ancestors\u2019 footsteps through the historic Westport Mills District.\n2. Cornell Farm and Frank Knowles/Little River Reserve (Dartmouth)\nWith a network of trails through fields and forests, and wooden boardwalks snaking through salt marshes, The Trustees\u2019 Cornell Farm and the Dartmouth Natural Resources Trust\u2019s Frank Knowles/Little River Reserve are a wonderful destination for outdoor enthusiasts of all levels. These two adjacent conservation areas each have their own identity, but share one important commonality: they are both refuges where you can immerse yourself in nature.\nWalk about a mile down the trail on either property, and you\u2019ll find a unique feature that draws many visitors to this spot: a suspension bridge swinging across a stream that forms the headwaters of Little River. From the observation deck at the top of the bridge, you can look out over the forest or sit and enjoy the quiet stillness of the outdoors.\n3. Flora B. Peirce Nature Trail (New Bedford)\nKids and families will love exploring the trees, flowers, and wildlife at Flora B. Peirce Nature Trail, a natural oasis of woods and wetlands in the city of New Bedford.\nIf you live in New Bedford, you don\u2019t even need to leave the city limits to enjoy a nature walk. At the edge of the North End lies Flora B. Peirce Nature Trail, a wooded preserve sandwiched between two forested swamps. Flora Peirce includes two easy loop trails that offer views of a pine forest, a large pond, and the headwaters of the Paskamansett River.\nFor a fun family activity, print out a copy of the Flora Peirce trail guide and bring it with you on your walk. It\u2019ll help you stay on the trail and look for signs of the plant and animal life that abounds at Flora Peirce in winter.\n4. LaPalme Farm (Acushnet)\nSituated close to the center of Acushnet and the North End of New Bedford, the Coalition\u2019s LaPalme Farm is a convenient natural getaway that\u2019s great for a walk this time of year. The half-mile trail leads you through an old farm field and into the forest, where the wooded banks of the Acushnet River wait for you to discover.\nLaPalme Farm is a particularly good place to look for wildlife during the colder months. Keep your eyes peeled for tracks of deer, rabbits, mice, and other creatures imprinted in the mud and snow. It\u2019s a good reminder that even in winter, our region is a special place that so many species call home.\n5. West Island State Reservation (Fairhaven)\nThe 338-acre West Island State Reservation, sandwiched between Sconticut Neck and Nasketucket Bay, is another perfect place to walk off that turkey dinner. With wide trails through the forest, brackish ponds and salt marshes, and a panoramic beachfront view of Buzzards Bay, this state-owned reservation has something for everybody to enjoy. Ramble through the woods and out to the shoreline, where you can see sea ducks congregating on the Bay\u2019s open waters.\nWhether you want to explore the woods, take the dog for a walk, or simply catch an early sunset over the Bay, West Island makes for a scenic post-Thanksgiving spot.\n6. Mattapoisett Rail Trail (Mattapoisett)\nExplore beyond the paved portion of the Mattapoisett Rail Trail to discover a scenic bridge across the Mattapoisett River.\nOne of the most beautiful places to take a walk in Mattapoisett is also one of the easiest to enjoy. The Mattapoisett Rail Trail \u2014 the mile-long Mattapoisett portion of a popular bike path that links the town with Fairhaven \u2014 is a paved, even path that families of all ages can explore. And with easy entrance points at Brandt Island Road and Mattapoisett Neck Road, the rail trail is accessible to all.\nBut don\u2019t let its accessibility fool you \u2014 in spite of its popularity with local residents, the rail trail maintains a serene, natural feeling. The trail cuts through the woods along the path of an old rail line, crossing a scenic brook along the way. If you journey further onto an unpaved extension of the path, you can walk all the way to the Mattapoisett River, near where it opens up to Mattapoisett Harbor.\n7. Radio Tower Property (Marion)\nKnown as the \u201cRadio Tower Property,\u201d this 109-acre preserve owned by the Sippican Lands Trust is more than just a walk in the woods. In 1914, a telegraph company erected 14 radio towers here, each reaching 440 feet into the air. The U.S. Air Force used these radio towers during World War II. In the 1950s, all but one of the towers was dismantled. But you can still find remnants of the radio towers scattered throughout the woods, making the Radio Tower Property a unique outdoor adventure to discover with your family.\nThe Radio Tower Property links to several other protected Sippican Lands Trust properties, creating a 225-acre oasis of conservation. In addition to the radio tower remains, look for natural features like wetlands and the crossing of Benson Brook as you wander the trails.\n8. East Over Reservation (Rochester)\nFrom Hiller Road, you can walk along a stone wall on a trail easement through Eastover Farm to the shores of Leonard\u2019s Pond.\nIf you want to explore a scenic spot the day after Thanksgiving, look no further than The Trustees\u2019 East Over Reservation in Rochester. The farm next door to the reservation is well-known for its golden yellow barns, which provide a festive pop of color even after fall\u2019s bright foliage has faded.\nBut East Over is more than just a family farm. The reservation is home to miles of trails through a mosaic of fields and forests, all lined with neat stone walls. This quiet, rural area evokes a simpler time, which makes it the perfect place to explore during the holiday season.\n9. Birch Island Conservation Area & Horseshoe Mill (Wareham)\nAlong the Weweantic River in West Wareham, you can explore not one, but three connected conservation areas in one spot. Together, the Coalition\u2019s Horseshoe Mill and the town of Wareham\u2019s Birch Island Conservation Area offer a network of trails where you can discover the river, the surrounding forest, and the area\u2019s unexpected industrial history.\nBeginning at the town-owned parking area at the end of Station Street, head east toward Birch Island, a hilly parcel of land where pine trees dominate. Or meander west into Horseshoe Mill, where the Weweantic runs wild as it meets fresh water flowing from upstream. As you walk, look for dark, metallic pieces of \u201cslag\u201d on the ground \u2014 the by-product of a horseshoe factory that produced iron ore here through World War II.\n10. Bourne Sisters Woodland (Bourne)\nIf you\u2019re seeking a short walk that will get your blood pumping the day after Thanksgiving, look no further than Bourne Sisters Woodland. Located near Monument Beach and Cape Cod Canal, this 22-acre property owned by the Bourne Conservation Trust offers a loop trail that snakes along wooded slopes and valleys. Thanks to the varying elevation of the woods, the trail packs lots of interesting natural vistas into 0.6 miles.\nNear the start of your walk, look out for a lovely brook meandering across the trail. If you want to find a more extensive adventure, take one of the cross trails bisecting the main loop. One of these, running along the northern edge of the property, provides a scenic view of a stream and a neighboring cranberry bog.\n11. Beebe Woods (Falmouth)\nIn this season of giving thanks, The 300 Committee\u2019s Beebe Woods is a wonderful symbol of all we have to be thankful for here in the Buzzards Bay region. In the 1970s, this beautiful 388-acre tract of woods atop Cape Cod\u2019s glacial moraine was slated to become a 500-home subdivision. But at the last minute, a Falmouth benefactor purchased the land and donated it to the town for conservation.\nToday, Beebe Woods is a great place for Falmouth residents and visitors to take a walk any time of year. The property includes a network of foot paths and bridle trails leading you through the woods. Evidence of retreating Ice Age glaciers is everywhere, from huge boulders and irregular-shaped hills to scenic kettle hole ponds.\nNeed some new ideas for places to go?

        "raw_content": "Smart Grid No Longer a Myth\nRotterdam's self-healing grid restores power in a matter of seconds, rather than hours.\nEvery day, the expectations of energy consumers increase in terms of grid reliability and energy\u2019s environmental impact. Anyone who runs a business, large or small, has networks dependent upon the stable availability of power. Beyond having the assurance that all of their electronic devices will be supplied, consumers want to benefit from the technologies that can empower them and put them in control of their energy.\nTo address these growing expectations, the way energy is produced, distributed and consumed must evolve. The solution involves both smarter demand and smarter supply. The grid is the glue between supply and demand, the network across which power is produced and consumed, bought and sold.\nThe biggest concern when it comes to power grids is unanticipated downtime. This story is about one aspect of the Smart Grid, the story of how reliability is improving.\nThe self-healing grid example\nEnter the concept of a self-healing grid. Such a grid comprises sensors, communications, automated controls and advanced software that utilizes real-time distribution data to respond to abnormalities. A self-healing grid constantly looks for potential problems, identifies the presence of a fault and pinpoints the location of the event. It automatically isolates the faulty section within a fraction of a second; then reconfigures the grid to re-energize faulty sections as quickly as possible.\nThis automation and control solution performs like a super immune system for the distribution network, making it more resilient to faults that might otherwise cascade into a major blackout \u2014 all with minimal human intervention. For increased resilience, the self-healing system can be decentralized, just like the immune system does not need coordination from the brain to be effective.\nSuch tools minimize costs related to service failures. They also reduce the utility\u2019s SAIDI \u2014 the measure of average outage duration for each customer served \u2014 and minimize damage from deliberate attempts to interrupt the power grid.\nThe self-healing grid concept is built upon new analysis tools, next-generation substation automation equipment and communication with smart meters at consumer locations. It also incorporates decentralized energy generation based on renewables, as well as the potential to use stored energy from electric vehicles.\nStedin is one of the Netherlands\u2019 largest utilities, based in Rotterdam, and has put the self-healing grid concept into practice. Stedin provides electricity to over 2 million customers, including government offices, major financial customers and Europe\u2019s largest port. Stedin has to comply with strict reliability and quality regulations or face costly penalties, so customer service is a top priority. Improving network operations to avoid disturbances is core to the Stedin philosophy, and innovative smart solutions are deployed when existing assets are upgraded and improved.\nSchneider Electric and Stedin worked together to build a self-healing grid solution based on motorizing existing Ring Main Units in downtown Rotterdam. The solution faced its first test in January 2015 when a potential protracted blackout situation occurred due to a broken power cable. Instead, the Smart Grid technologies responded and roughly 600 households, shops and businesses barely noticed the fault when it was resolved in 18 seconds rather than the average two hours. Targeted sections of the distribution network were re-energized automatically when the fault occurred, localizing it through simple but effective peer-to-peer communication between substations in the loop. As a result, affected customers were rapidly reconnected. Stedin\u2019s smart technologies also harness more network data about power flows thanks to upgraded sensors which help to speed up equipment repairs since faults are isolated so quickly.\n\u201cAfter tests and simulations, we were really pleased to see the system work in practice. A first for the Dutch grid, this technology automatically limits both the duration and the broader impact of network failures,\u201d confirmed Marko Kruithof, manager of sustainability and renewal at Stedin.\nAdditional Smart Grid components\nThe roadmap to Smart Grid\u2013enabled utility operations includes new technologies that are designed to support fluctuating demand and the increased need for utility / customer interface and interaction. Below is a list of major technology areas that provide the cornerstones for this new development.\nWide area networks, communications and security infrastructure\nMeter Data Management (MDM) system\nLinking the large variety of smart devices distributed throughout the network requires secure communications. Each utility that envisions a Smart Grid needs to build a communications network that parallels and can monitor, operate and optimize the electrical grid. But the technology and drivers that determine the right wide area network (WAN) for each company can vary widely.\nAMI can enhance meter operations by reducing the cost and improving the accuracy of reading / collecting energy usage information while providing a mechanism to both inform and empower customers as they choose better energy consumption patterns. This is a broad topic, but a utility needs to evaluate current metering status and gain at least a high-level view of the requirements for the future.\nMDM software focuses on properly managing and integrating all meter-generated data: historical data for analysis, as well as billing, power quality and system events data. This integration tool is the hub that shares data with other critical applications such as customer information systems (CIS), customer relationship management (CRM) systems, advanced distribution management systems (ADMS) and outage management systems (OMS). An effectively implemented MDM system can allow the utility to integrate whatever technologies are needed (consumer, industrial and/or multi-utility) into one cohesive system, now and in the future.\nDistribution Automation (DA) involves devices and secure communications between them in the distribution network. DA can be broken down into two major divisions: substation automation (SA) and field automation (FA). SA enables electric utilities to remotely monitor, control and coordinate the distribution components installed in the substation, typically breakers, switches, transformers and load tap changers using sensors, meters, protection relays and controllers \u2014 often referred to as intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) \u2014 RTUs and SCADA systems. FA extends to circuits beyond the substation fence, and typically includes reclosers, sectionalised switches, capacitor banks, voltage regulators and fault indicators, plus their associated monitoring and control equipment and SCADA systems.\nWithin the FA domain, fault passage indicators are linked to circuit breakers and reclosers, making networks more reliable. DA is very beneficial in improving system reliability, safety and efficiency \u2014 especially when used in conjunction with other Smart Grid technologies. Systems like ADMS can help manage and optimize DA and provide guidance on best locations for placing DA devices.\nAt the end-consumer level of the Smart Grid, Schneider Electric is applying a variety of new technologies to engage businesses and homeowners. The cloud-based StruxureWare\u2122 Demand-Side Operation platform will enable participation in programs like Demand Response that offer financial incentives for adjusting energy consumption when required. For homeowners, Schneider Electric has developed the innovative Wiser\u2122 system, which monitors and controls all electrical equipment. A computer or mobile device can be used to view energy use by zone or type of use (e.g., heating system, water heater). It\u2019s also possible to remotely adjust room temperature, schedule lights to turn on or off or program an energy-saving mode. And at the end of the month, the homeowner can create a provisional bill to see his or her energy savings.\nBenefits focus on cost savings and reduced waste\nNew technologies enable the further development of Smart Grid initiatives by allowing utilities to improve operational planning and better manage grid assets and their workforce, but also to respond quickly to marketplace pricing actions and customer demands.\nAs customers and prosumers get more involved in the power and distribution process, utilities can realize cost savings by enabling more flexibility and faster response. Operating in such a manner implies tight interfaces between the public Smart Grid and the local participants that are standardized and compatible in both directions. Although investments in these new technologies may increase short-term capital costs, long-term advantages will include lower operating costs, reduced energy waste and a more integrated and flexible network.\nDiscover more about the Smart Grid in our Smart Utility eBook",

        "raw_content": "Sharapova, Roddick earn U.S. Open wins\nNEW YORK (AP) \u2014 The lady in red shanked a backhand wide, prompting Maria Sharapova's opponent to leap in the air and pump her fist and smile as though she'd won the match \u2014 or, indeed, the U.S. Open championship itself.\nUh, not quite. That little celebration by 51st-ranked Roberta Vinci of Italy was for winning one game Tuesday night, allowing her to narrow the dressed-for-success Sharapova's lead to 6-0, 5-1.\n\"I win one game, I'm happy,\" Vinci said. \"6-love, 6-love? No. 6-love, 6-1? OK.\"\nA few minutes and one hold of serve later, Sharapova's 50-minute day was done, and she was into the second round at the tournament where she produced her second Grand Slam title a year ago.\n\"There's no way to get rid of the memories when I walk on the court and feel the vibe,\" the second-seeded Russian said, 600 crystals on her red dress sparkling in the Arthur Ashe Stadium lights. \"Every corner I turn here, I get goose bumps.\"\nAndy Roddick might very well have similar sentiments as he walks around the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. He did, after all, win the 2003 U.S. Open for his only major title, and he won his first-round match Tuesday night, following Sharapova on court and beating Justin Gimelstob 7-6 (6), 6-3, 6-3.\nSharapova compiled 15 winners before Vinci hit her first and finished with a 30-3 edge in that category during the 6-0, 6-1 victory. It was part of a mini-parade of past champions in first-round action, including victories for Martina Hingis, Svetlana Kuznetsova and Lleyton Hewitt.\nSharapova's been on the wrong end of some routs at Grand Slam tournaments this year, including against Serena Williams in the Australian Open final and against Venus Williams in Wimbledon's fourth round. And Sharapova, whose breakthrough came with the 2004 Wimbledon title at age 17, has been dealing with shoulder problems much of 2007.\nSharapova's good feelings from her U.S. Open title are still fresh, but it's been a decade since Hingis won the tournament. This year, Hingis took a stroll around the new workout room and simply had to smile while scanning the enlarged photos decorating the walls.\nThere among the posters of previous champions is one of Hingis, clutching her 1997 silver trophy, a different player and a different person.\n\"I'm like, 'OK, I look really young.' Short haircut, all that. It's been 10 years,\" she said. \"Sometimes it feels like yesterday, sometimes like a lifetime.\"\nHingis was willing to reminisce a bit after beating Mathilde Johansson of France 6-0, 6-3. Others winning Tuesday included a man many consider a likely future Grand Slam champion, No. 3-seeded Novak Djokovic, and No. 6 James Blake. The day's biggest early surprise came when No. 9 Daniela Hantuchova, a past U.S. Open quarterfinalist, was eliminated by 50th-ranked Julia Vakulenko of Ukraine 6-4, 3-6, 6-1.\nHingis might face Kuznetsova in the fourth round, but that's a little far to look ahead these days for the 26-year-old who used to be called \"The Swiss Miss\" \u2014 in the long-ago days when she was atop the rankings and won five Slams. The days before she missed three years' worth of majors because of foot and leg injuries.\nHingis returned to the circuit full-time in 2006, reaching two major quarterfinals. But her hip came out of alignment a few months ago, and that and back problems limited Hingis to a 4-4 record from the start of April until arriving in New York.\nIt's been only about half as long since Hewitt won his title at Flushing Meadows in 2001, a triumph that helped him become, at 20, the youngest man to end a year ranked No. 1.\nAnd yet for Hewitt, who like Hingis is seeded 16th at this Open, it probably feels at least as far away. Nonetheless, the 2002 Wimbledon champion figures there will be another title somewhere down the road as a reward for his always-churning legs and his zipping groundstrokes.\n\"I believe that, yeah, it's in me, that's for sure. I think I'm good enough,\" Hewitt said after easing past Amer Delic of the United States 6-2, 6-4, 6-2. \"That's what my goal is. That's what you keep striving toward, working for. Hopefully it will be around the corner.\"\nSaid Delic: \"I mean, the guy's good.\"\nBlake agreed, saying: \"Lleyton is playing some of the best tennis in the world right now. He's got to be in the top five contenders for this title.\"",

        "raw_content": "Florida insurers to weather effects of Michael, analysts say\nFORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) \u2014 Florida\u2019s disjointed property insurance system that relies almost exclusively on small and midsize companies will take a multibillion dollar loss from Hurricane Michael, but has sufficient reserves and backups that providers should be able to pay claims without problems, analysts say.\nMajor national players like State Farm, Allstate and Liberty Mutual write few if any homeowners policies in Florida because of the high risk of hurricane losses, leaving the market to smaller companies and the state-created insurer of last resort, Citizens Property.\nBoston-based Karen Clark & Company, which models catastrophes, estimates Florida private insurers will pay $6 billion in claims for wind and storm surge damage to residential, commercial and industrial properties and vehicles. The estimate doesn\u2019t include losses covered by the National Flood Insurance Program, which has about 60,000 policies in the hardest-hit Florida counties. The program had no immediate estimate on its losses.\nAnalysts say that, despite their smaller size, Florida insurers should be able to cover their Michael losses through re-insurance \u2013 policies insurance companies purchase from global companies like Lloyd\u2019s of London to cover catastrophic losses. Most of the state\u2019s damage from Wednesday\u2019s Category 4 storm is in the sparsely populated Panhandle, lessening the financial blow.\nFlorida insurers \u201care built to be able to withstand these types of storms that are expected to happen every 10 to 15 years,\u201d according to Brian C. Schneider, a senior director at the analytics firm Fitch Ratings. The company said the reinsurance programs performed well after Hurricane Irma last year, which caused about $50 billion in damages in Florida.\nBut, Schneider said, the industry believes many Florida insurers would not survive if a major storm made a direct hit on Miami, Tampa or another major city. The re-insurance company Swiss Re estimated last year that a Category 5 storm hitting Miami could potentially cost the industry almost $200 billion. The state has about $17 billion in a fund to help private companies pay hurricane claims if they run into trouble.\nMajor insurance companies fled Florida\u2019s homeowners market after 1992\u2019s Category 5 Hurricane Andrew hit south of Miami, destroying much of the city of Homestead and causing $45 billion in damages, adjusted for inflation. After the companies fled, many property owners could only get policies from Citizens Property and its predecessor, peaking at about 1.5 million policies in 2012.\nThe state, wanting to reduce its exposure, for most of the last 20 years has been enticing smaller, niche companies into the market but required them to obtain re-insurance. The industry was also helped by a 12-year gap between hurricanes hitting the state from 2005 to last year. Their revenue is helped as Florida has the most expensive homeowners insurance in the nation, according to the Insurance Information Institute, with homeowners paying an average annual cost of just under $2,000 in 2015, the latest year available.\nThe push worked as Citizens\u2019 footprint has shrunk by 72 percent, but remains the state\u2019s second-largest property insurer with about 420,000 policies \u2013 most of them in South Florida, far from Michael\u2019s damage zone. Spokesman Michael Peltier said the company estimates it will receive about 12,000 claims from Michael, but hasn\u2019t calculated an expected loss yet. Because its policies are in the highest-risk areas of the state, its average policy costs nearly $2,600 annually with a range from about $3,600 in Miami and the Florida Keys to about $1,700 in Taylor County, not far from where Michael hit.\nThe state\u2019s largest property insurer, Universal Property & Casualty Co., writes almost 600,000 policies. It did not return calls seeking comment.",

        "raw_content": "SKU: AB-WHITE\nSafe Steps Arm Band White Aid for Runners\nThe Safe Steps Arm Band White is designed as a safety aid for runners and walkers to wear when they are out and about at night. It features a light that can be set to a steady glow, or to blink, alerting motorists and cyclists to your presence.\nThe arm band is available in several different colors, including white, red, green, yellow, pink, and blue. It comes with two CR2032 lithium batteries, which are pre-installed so the band is ready to use and wear.\nThese arm bands are designed to be worn outside and are weather-resistant, rugged, and durable. They will help you to be seen when you're on the road or a path, and they warn motorists to give you a little room.\nThe Safe Steps Arm Band White is ideal for both kids and adults. If worn alongside other safety aids such as a reflective vest, it will help to make sure that you are noticed and will give you peace of mind when you're out and about.\nIt is not a replacement for common sense and basic safety precautions but it is certainly a useful addition to your safety toolkit and it's affordable, too, so why not give it a try?\nCountry roads can be dark and dangerous places. If there are no street lights and no buildings nearby, then it can become surprisingly dark at night.\nMany roads are twisty, and visibility is poor. It is all too easy for a motorist to simply not see someone until it's too late. A glowing light will alert them to your presence, and a steady flash is even more likely to catch their eye.\nThe arm band has a strip that wraps around the leg and glows, with an elastic strap to keep it secure so that it won't slip off or rotate while you are walking or running.\nIt can be worn on a bare arm or on top of clothing as long as the clothing is not so baggy that it will fall over the light and obscure it. The Safe Steps Arm Band White is a stylish band, and it's easy to wear and comfortable, too.\nThe Safe Steps Arm Band in a White Hue\nThe arm band for runners is one size fits most, and the elastic will stretch quite easily. It can be adjusted to fit smaller legs, and it will fit most adults and kids who are old enough to be outside at a time of day when it would be needed.\nThis makes it good for kids who have a long walk home from school on a winter night. It is unobtrusive enough that it can be stored easily once you arrive at your destination, and it is easy to put this back on when you are ready to go home.\nThe wide range of colors means that it's easy to match the arm band with the rest of your kit, if that's something that matters to you.\nThere is no need for safety accessories to be boring things that you feel make you look silly out on the road. They can be a fashion accessories as well!\nSafety equipment will only keep you safe if you actually use it. Kids don't want to spend ages putting clips on things or messing around with vests.\nSome reflective tape on the back of their bag or their normal coat is a good choice because that's something that will always be there. And that will work to really protect them.\nThe arm band, though, is something that takes just a moment or two to strap on, so they're more likely to remember to do that.\nThe batteries should last for a long time, but it's a good idea to test the arm band from time to time and, if the lights are starting to dim, replace the battery. The supplied batteries should have a lot of life in them, though.\nIt's easy to switch between the constantly glow and flashing forms of light, depending on what you are doing. This makes the arm band ideal for most environments and both for adult runners and younger people, too.\nTake your safety seriously and invest in a Safe Steps Arm Band White - or whatever color you think is the best for your own needs.",

        "raw_content": "by Sabir Shabazz aka Elohim\nCoco Das\u2019 article, \u201cShould we celebrate when a fascist regime endorses prison reform?\u201d reached me at a particularly ripe time. None of the ironies observed about Trump\u2019s endorsement of the First Step Act, a bipartisan criminal justice reform bill, were misconstrued, nor did I take them for granted.\nThe article goes on to mention Van Jones\u2019 comment about trust being something you put on a dimmer switch, which caused me to form a menacing mental image: As a lamp is dimmed it brings the light bulb into focus for an observer. The surrounding objects receive less light and so become swathed in shadow. Here is an idea of what exists within the shadows:\nPresently some phone companies have partnered with government agencies to devise plans that protect U.S. consumers from scammers. An article in USA Today newspaper projected the programs to begin early next year. The programs use some algorithm to recognize if fake numbers and unknown or private calls are \u201cscam likely.\u201d It then proceeds to either block the call or allow it through, without any consent from the customer.\nHowever, it has already begun. All prison numbers appear on caller ID as private or unknown. I have not been able to call my mother since August. She is trying to find a way I can call and poor folk don\u2019t have money to just switch carriers as they please \u2013 many of them having gone through changes just to obtain the affordable plans they\u2019re on! Some older folk aren\u2019t very tech savvy either, which is understandable.\nSo this is a haphazard policy being implemented with the potential to affect hundreds of thousands of prisoners one way or another. For many of us, the exigencies of prison life itself along with lengthy sentences have dwindled our contact with the outside to one or two people, and to be cut off from them is to effectively be severed from the world.\nFor prisoners in long term solitary confinement (like myself) specifically at USP Florence ADX, this seemingly helpful policy can have deadly consequences. The psychological harms of solitary confinement have been thoroughly researched and widely published. In a Neuroscience paper by Dana G. Smith titled, \u201cNeuroscientists make a case against solitary confinement,\u201d she wrote, \u201cRobert King spent 29 years living alone in a 6-by-9-foot prison cell.\u201d\nFor prisoners in long term solitary confinement (like myself) specifically at USP Florence ADX, this seemingly helpful policy can have deadly consequences.\nEven in less extreme cases than that of the Angola Three, prolonged social isolation, feeling lonely, not just being alone, can exact severe physical, emotional and cognitive consequences. It is associated with a 26 percent increased risk of premature death, largely stemming from an out of control stress response that results in higher cortisol levels, increased blood pressure and inflammation.\nFeeling socially isolated also increases the risk of suicide. \u201cWe see solitary confinement as nothing less than a death penalty by social deprivation,\u201d said Stephanie Cacioppo, an assistant professor of psychiatry and behavioral neuroscience at the University of Chicago, who was on the panel with King.\n\u201cWe see solitary confinement as nothing less than a death penalty by social deprivation,\u201d said Stephanie Cacioppo, an assistant professor of psychiatry and behavioral neuroscience at the University of Chicago.\nThere is also a Federal Bureau of Prisons (FBOP) policy being implemented here at USP Florence ADX since May 16, 2018, that prohibits us from having the same contacts any other prisoner in the FBOP whether the other prisoner is family, a friend or stranger. It is yet to be seen if this policy is nationwide or specific to this facility.\nTo be fair, this policy is probably meant to combat gang, criminal or illicit activity. But what it means is if you and I are relatives, friends or even total strangers communicating with the same outside contacts, then suddenly one day we wake up and all our contacts are blocked. This policy\u2019s blanket application, indefinitely, absent any form of due process for prisoners who have committed no crimes \u2013 nor have their friends and families in the \u201cfree world\u201d \u2013 who aren\u2019t gang affiliated, is cruel and unusual punishment.\nThis policy\u2019s blanket application, indefinitely, absent any form of due process for prisoners who have committed no crimes \u2013 nor have their friends and families in the \u201cfree world\u201d \u2013 who aren\u2019t gang affiliated, is cruel and unusual punishment.\nAnother dimension of this policy is that if you, a law abiding citizen, wanted to send me and another prisoner money, it would automatically be frozen under the assumption you\u2019ve aided some illicit activity. And then an investigation takes place.\nThis is even being done to lawyers representing several prisoners fighting death penalty cases. To help cope with the burdens of fighting for your life and being in a solitary confinement, such prisoners are sent books, magazines and a small monthly courtesy to purchase commissary items like hygiene, food, coffee, tea etc.\nI\u2019ve seen investigations concluded and money unfrozen within a week\u2019s time, but at what point does junk food, coffee and hygiene ever compensate for the absence of human interaction?\nLike myself, prisoners who are striving to shed the criminal mentality and behavior and develop political consciousness within the context of the struggle, we are always grateful for those with the peace of mind to step back from this hectic world, send a card or a letter, send reading material or a few dollars, grateful for those who publicize the realities of the criminal justice system and global oppression and keep the light focused on things persistently shrouded in shadow.\nSend our brother some love and light: Sabir Shabazz, 41119-086, USP Max, P.O.

        "raw_content": "https://www.sfgate.com/entertainment/article/A-Rich-History-Worth-Saving-With-Millions-2744249.php\nA Rich History Worth Saving (With Millions) / Philanthropist David Packard is on a personal crusade to restore film classics\nMick LaSalle, Chronicle Staff Writer\nOn a balmy Saturday night in July, shortly before a screening of \"Roman Holiday,\" David Packard unlocks a glass case and puts up photos of the film's star, Audrey Hepburn. Dressed in a white short-sleeved shirt, Packard rearranges the photos until he comes up with an aesthetically satisfactory arrangement.\nIn another movie house, such a task might have been left to an employee making scarcely more than minimum wage. At the Stanford, it's done by Packard himself, the self-described \"partially benevolent dictator\" and heir to the Hewlett-Packard billions.\nThat Packard discovered and came to love classic American cinema is one of the luckiest things that ever could have happened to classic cinema. In the past 20 years, Packard, 59, has done more for film preservation than any private citizen in history, funneling millions upon millions of dollars into archives such as the Library of Congress, the University of California at Los Angeles and the George Eastman House.\nYet if the Stanford is just the tip of the iceberg with regard to Packard's efforts, it is also, to mix metaphors, the jewel in his crown. Packard has restored the 1925 theater to lustrous glory and devoted much of his energy to showing vintage films there. The Stanford specializes in films from the 1910s to the early 1960s, everything from \"Intolerance\" to \"Breakfast at Tiffany's.\" On this night Packard takes the stage and, as is his prerogative, introduces the film. He tells the packed audience that Audrey Hepburn is his favorite actress. He also allows that he wouldn't mind showing only her films, all the time.\n\"I'm not a great speaker,\" Packard explains a couple of days later. \"I don't say very much. But people just like that somebody is running the theater.\" Yet all is not well in Packard's world. The week before, the film critic for the Palo Alto Weekly, Jeanne Aufmuth, was quoted in that newspaper as criticizing Packard's programming. She said he showed the same films over and over, and that his movie choices were turning the theater into a \"blue hair\" place. Packard is angry, and ready with statistics showing that seniors make up only 10 percent of the audience for films such as \"Roman Holiday\" and that 8 percent of the audience consists of people younger than 18.\nNow it's morning, two days later. Packard is at his foundation's office. He's still outraged. He painstakingly goes through the schedule to show that most of the new schedule is made up of Stanford Theatre firsts, including a series of obscure silent films Packard recently had restored at the Stanford Theatre Foundation Film Preservation Laboratory, his facility at UCLA. But what most rankles him is the accusation that the Stanford is a \"blue hair\" place. \"That's the most outrageous lie.\"\nHe has the weekend box-office figures to prove it: 928 regular tickets sold, 140 seniors. \"It's not that I, becoming a senior myself, don't like seniors. It would be kind of discouraging to run a nostalgia show with tottering old people trying to remember their youth. That's not what's going on at the Stanford Theatre.\"\nFor a man who broods over comments made in a suburban weekly, he is singularly unworried about making himself ingratiating to the press. \"This is a reporter,\" he says to one of his employees. \"You can touch him if you like.\"\nPackard is not the easiest person to talk to. At times he seems to be applying his considerable intellect to trying to figure out what diabolical snare awaits him behind questions such as why Audrey Hepburn is his favorite actress. \"I hope I don't have to explain to you why people love Audrey Hepburn,\" he says.\nWhen asked about a comment he made about feeling \"discouraged\" with age, Packard bristles. \"You're trying to do a personal story about me. This is not about me. This is about the theater. I told you the rules, and I'm talking about film preservation, and the Stanford Theatre and everything we do. I'll tell you what we can talk about.\"\nNot everybody is put off by Packard's idiosyncratic charm. Paolo Cherchi-Usai runs the Eastman House archive in Rochester, N.Y., and deals with Packard regularly. \"I kind of understand why he talks to me that way. If I were him, I'd probably do the same. It's a way of breaking the old rules. Beneath the way he addresses you, the tone he uses, the way he leaves you off guard, is a whole set of challenges -- ways he wants to check your reaction. Even if I had nothing to do with film preservation, I'd still like the guy.\"\nPackard did not spend his life watching movies. Until he was 35, he had little interest in film. He was a professor of ancient Greek at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill when a friend invited him to a screening of \"The Wizard of Oz.\" If he had a Damascus-like conversion, it came the second night, when he saw the Judy Garland film \"Meet Me in St. Louis.\"\n\"Here I was, supposedly an intellectual. Why would I love 'Meet Me in St. Louis' so much? I don't know, but I loved it.\"\nFrom then on, he \"quietly started getting interested in movies.\" He moved to Los Angeles to teach at UCLA and gradually got to the point where he was going to repertory houses all the time. It was also at this point, as a board member of the David and Lucile Packard Foundation (his parents' organization), that he started giving grants to the UCLA Film and Television Archive.\nCertainly, if Packard's manner is less than sparkling, his good deeds are manifold. At Eastman House, for example, he has built nitrate vaults to store archival film material. \"Most donors are eager to spend money on a film and have their name on it,\" Cherchi-Usai says. \"Building a structure that's essentially a large refrigerator, that's not appealing to many donors. David is one of the few who understands.\"\nPackard donated money to the American Film Institute's three-volume catalog of \"Feature Films, 1931-40.\" His foundation -- the Packard Humanities Institute -- is putting up $20 million toward restoring and restructuring San Jose's Fox so it can house Opera San Jose for part of the year. The theater will also show movies.\nPackard's most astounding philanthropic feat was on behalf of the Library of Congress' film archive. The archive needed a facility to do its storing, cataloging and film restoring. Packard's foundation spent \"6 or 7 million\" to buy a never-used structure built by the Federal Reserve to house currency in the event of a nuclear war.\n\"For the past two years, we've been working on a plan for redoing it for (the Library of Congress') needs,\" Packard says. \"It will cost $100 million to complete this enormous facility.\"\nThose are the kinds of numbers Packard deals in. The Packard Humanities Institute has assets of $2 billion. \"By law, a foundation has to spend 5 percent. We have to spend $100 million a year, so we have a duty to concentrate on big things.\" Besides film preservation, the institute funds projects in archaeology, music and history. The complete papers of Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin and George Washington are in the process of being put online for everyone to use.\nThe Stanford Theatre story began in 1987. Packard rented the theater for two weeks to hold a Fred Astaire festival. \"I remember pacing up and down on the Friday the festival opened, thinking to myself, 'If 50 people come, it'll be worth it.' Well, I think we had just about a sold-out theater on Friday, and on the first Tuesday night we sold 1,250 tickets, and it was the night of the All-Star Game.\n\"I took my father there that Tuesday, and he couldn't believe how many people were coming and what a good time they were having. He had a very good instinct about human nature,\" Packard recalls. \"He said, 'David, I never would've believed this, but you've proved your point. If you want to do this, the foundation will pay for it.' So we bought the theater.\"\nThe Stanford Theatre was closed for two years to bring it back to its 1925 splendor and to make seismic renovations. It reopened in December 1989 with \"The Wizard of Oz.\" Since then Packard has balanced his appreciation for mainstream fare from Hollywood's golden age with a willingness to show newly restored obscurities that no commercial theater would dare put onscreen for fear of going broke. Films restored at the preservation laboratory he set up on the grounds of UCLA regularly turn up on the Stanford Theatre's calendar.\n\"He really does care about movies,\" says David Francis, curator of the Library of Congress collection. \"He is absolutely committed.\"\n\"The Stanford Theatre is my cultural crusade,\" Packard says. \"I want people to grow up loving Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn and Jimmy Stewart. I don't understand why there's one theater that shows 'Roman Holiday,' 'Top Hat' and 'Meet Me in St. Louis,' and there are hundreds and hundreds showing all kinds of stuff. The balance is way off. I'm sure some of the people seeing the second-rate things that are out now would be happier seeing the first-rate things made in the last 100 years.\"\nIN THE FILM RESTORATION WORLD, DAVID IS GOLIATH\n\"I've been interested in film preservation since 1980 -- much longer and on more of a scale than anybody,\" says David Packard, owner and programmer of the Stanford Theatre in Palo Alto.\nMuch of Packard's work has been at the University of California at Los Angeles, where he is regarded not just as a donor but as a colleague as well.\n\"It's been a very advantageous relationship, very amiable and pleasant,\" says Eddie Richmond, who runs the UCLA Film and Television Archive. \"He shares our passion, involvement and interest in film. For David, film preservation is a necessary step on the way toward making films available to people. He believes that movies are meant to be seen.\"\nFilms restored with Packard's funding include \"Morocco\" (1930), \"The Man I Killed\" (1932), \"The Smiling Lieutenant\" (1931) and \"The Plastic Age\" (1926), and there are many more. A quick look at the calendar of UCLA's current \"Festival of Preservation\" shows the Packard name on more than a dozen entries.\nIn 1987, Packard bought the film collection of the Silent Movie Theatre on Fairfax Avenue in Los Angeles, most of it in 16mm, which included prints of dozens of films that existed nowhere else. Because paying labs is so expensive, and their schedules are so tight, Packard decided to create his own preservation facility on the grounds of UCLA. The facility is administered by UCLA employees, who are paid indirectly by Packard's foundation through the university. Packard's facility is a long, pristine room with a rather beautiful black cast-iron machine in it. It looks as primitive as a locomotive, but then the technology of motion pictures is primitive. On the shelves are film cans with titles of obscure silent films that are waiting to be seen again -- some for the first time in more than 70 years. \"I'm a classical scholar by trade,\" Packard says. \"We can read Homer and Plato because they were preserved by monks and monasteries. Then in the Renaissance people discovered all this stuff, and it was there. And it might not have been there. We can read 'The Iliad' and 'The Odyssey,' but there were other Homeric poems. We are at this period when a lot of the negatives aren't going to survive forever. But at the right temperature and humidity they'll last a lot longer.\"\nRecent UCLA-Packard restorations include \"The Sensation Seekers\" (1926) by director Lois Weber and \"Soul Fire\" (1925) starring Richard Barthelmess.\nIn June, the Stanford Theatre's 75th anniversary was celebrated with a screening of \"I'll Show You the Town,\" a Reginald Denny comedy that played on the theater's opening night in 1925.\n\"It turned out that the only material for that title was in an archive in Europe, with Dutch and French intertitles,\" says Richmond. \"We paid them to bring the print over to UCLA for preservation work. We got Universal to give us the continuity so we could reproduce the English intertitles. I came up for the screening. It was a nice evening, and there was a large, large crowd.\"\nWHAT THEY LINE UP TO SEE\nThe following is a list of the top ticket-sellers at the Stanford Theatre:\n1. \"Casablanca\" (1942): The ethos of the World War II generation comes to life onscreen in this signature film that gave Humphrey Bogart his most memorable role.\n2. \"Gone With the Wind\" (1939): A great decade in filmmaking reached its climax with producer David O. Selznick's immortal film, starring Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh.\n3. \"Notorious\" (1946): Cary Grant is an American agent who teams up with Ingrid Bergman to infiltrate a spy ring in this Alfred Hitchcock favorite.\n4. \"Sabrina\" (1954): Before there was Julia Ormond, there was Audrey Hepburn, with Humphrey Bogart and William Holden, as directed by Billy Wilder.\n5. \"My Fair Lady\" (1964): Hepburn makes the Top 10 once again in this adaptation of the Broadway hit.\n6. \"Roman Holiday\" (1953): Hepburn won an Oscar for this, her first Hollywood film, directed by William Wyler.\n7. \"The Maltese Falcon\" (1941): Bogart, another Stanford Theatre favorite, had his breakthrough performance in this John Huston film.\n8. \"Citizen Kane\" (1941): Orson Welles directed, co-wrote and starred in this groundbreaking art film, loosely based on the life of William Randolph Hearst.\n9. \"The Philadelphia Story\" (1940): Katharine Hepburn's career got a second wind with this adaptation of the Broadway hit by Philip Barry.\n10. \"Vertigo\" (1958): James Stewart and Kim Novak starred in the Hitchcock classic about a decent fellow who starts off dizzy and gets dizzier.",

        "raw_content": "posted inAttorneys' fees, Copyrights, Remedies, Trademarks\ton November 2, 2016 with 1 Comment\tby\tNaomi Jane Gray\nTraditionally, attorneys\u2019 fees were notoriously difficult for a prevailing party to recover in a trademark action. The United States Supreme Court\u2019s 2014 opinion in a patent case, Octane Fitness, LLC v. ICON Health & Fitness, Inc.,[1] relaxed the applicable standard in construing the Patent Act\u2019s identical fee-shifting provision and will likely result in a lower bar to the recovery of fees in trademark disputes. On October 24, 2016, the Ninth Circuit joined the Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Circuits in extending Octane\u2019s holding to a trademark fee application.[2]\nSection 35 of the Lanham Act permits courts to award attorneys\u2019 fees to a prevailing party in \u201cexceptional cases,\u201d at the discretion of the district court judge.[3] The legislative history, though sparse, reflects that Congress intended to afford the remedy in two situations: \u201cFirst, the legislature envisioned \u2018make whole\u2019 compensation for certain victims of infringement; second, Congress endeavored to afford protection to defendants \u2018against unfounded suits brought by trademark owners for harassment and the like.\u2019\u201d[4]\nThe Pre-Octane Hodgepodge\nBefore the Supreme Court\u2019s decision in Octane, appellate courts did not interpret the \u201cexceptional case\u201d standard consistently, leading the Ninth Circuit to characterize \u201cthe line delineating \u2018exceptional\u2019 cases under the Lanham Act\u201d as \u201cmurky\u201d and \u201cfar from clear.\u201d[5] In the Eighth and Ninth Circuits, for example, a prevailing party could recover fees in cases deemed \u201cgroundless, unreasonable, vexatious, or pursued in bad faith.\u201d[6] The D.C. Circuit, in an opinion authored by then-Judge Ginsburg and joined by then-Judge Scalia, held that \u201c\u2018exceptional,\u2019 as Congress used the word in section 35 of the Lanham Act, is most reasonably read to mean what the word is generally understood to indicate\u2014uncommon, not run-of-the-mill.\u201d[7] In the Tenth Circuit, a prevailing plaintiff could recover fees by showing that the defendant acted in bad faith, while a prevailing defendant had to show that (1) the plaintiff\u2019s case lacked foundation; (2) the plaintiff brought suit in bad faith; (3) the plaintiff prosecuted the case in an \u201cunusually vexatious and oppressive manner\u201d; or (4) \u201cperhaps for other reasons as well.\u201d[8] This fourth category led the Seventh Circuit to grumble that the Tenth Circuit \u201ccan hardly be said to have a test\u201d at all.[9] The Seventh Circuit blamed \u201ccircuit drift\u201d for what it complained was \u201cthis jumble.\u201d[10] It concluded that a case under the Lanham Act is \u201cexceptional\u201d if the losing party was the plaintiff and was guilty of abuse of process in suing, or if the losing party was the defendant and had no defense yet persisted in the trademark infringement or false advertising for which it was being sued, in order to impose costs on its opponent.[11]\nCompounding these inconsistencies, some appellate courts applied a different standard to prevailing plaintiffs than to prevailing defendants. In Fogerty v. Fantasy, Inc., the United States Supreme Court held that the Copyright Act\u2019s attorneys\u2019 fees provision must be applied evenhandedly to both prevailing plaintiffs and prevailing defendants.[12] Following that decision, some appellate courts held that the same evenhanded rule must apply in construing \u00a735 of the Lanham Act.[13] The Tenth Circuit, by contrast, expressed skepticism that \u201cthere should be, or even could be, perfect harmony between the standard for awarding attorney fees to a prevailing plaintiff and a prevailing defendant. The underlying conduct under scrutiny is different.\u201d[14]\nFederal Circuit Smackdown: Supreme Court Edition\nAgainst the backdrop of this hodgepodge, the Supreme Court took up Octane, a patent case in which the Court interpreted \u00a7285 of the Patent Act. Like its Lanham Act counterpart, \u00a7285 authorizes an award of fees to the prevailing party in \u201cexceptional\u201d cases. Octane involved a dispute between competing manufacturers of fitness equipment.[15] ICON, the plaintiff-respondent, sued Octane, the defendant-petitioner, alleging that certain of Octane\u2019s elliptical machines infringed several claims of a patent owned by ICON. The district court granted summary judgment in favor of Octane, finding multiple claim elements lacking as a matter of law, both literally and under the doctrine of equivalents.[16] The court denied Octane\u2019s motion for attorneys\u2019 fees, relying on Federal Circuit authority, which held that \u201c[a]bsent misconduct in conduct of the litigation or in securing the patent, sanctions maybe imposed against the patentee only if both (1) the litigation is brought in subjective bad faith, and (2) the litigation is objectively baseless.\u201d[17] The Federal Circuit affirmed the denial of fees, and the Supreme Court reversed in a nearly unanimous[18] opinion authored by Justice Sotomayor.\nThe Supreme Court found the Federal Circuit approach overly \u201crigid and mechanical.\u201d[19] The Federal Circuit defined subjective bad faith and objective baselessness narrowly, holding that \u201clitigation is objectively baseless only if it is \u2018so unreasonable that no reasonable litigant could believe it would succeed,\u2019 and that litigation is brought in subjective bad faith only if the plaintiff \u2018actually know[s]\u2019 that it is objectively baseless.\u201d[20] The Supreme Court found this \u201cformulation \u2026 overly rigid\u201d because it \u201csuperimposes an inflexible framework onto statutory text that is inherently flexible.\u201d[21] Requiring both objective baselessness and subjective bad faith on the part of the plaintiff was too restrictive, because conduct satisfying either one of these elements standing alone may be enough to merit fees.[22]\nThus, the Supreme Court held that the Federal Circuit\u2019s test was contrary to the express language of \u00a785, which (like its textually identical counterpart in the Lanham Act) provides: \u201cThe court in exceptional cases may award reasonable attorney fees to the prevailing party.\u201d[23] Because the Patent Act does not define what constitutes an \u201cexceptional\u201d case, the Court construed it \u201cin accordance with its ordinary meaning.\u201d[24] \u201cIn 1952, when Congress used the word in \u00a7 285 (and today, for that matter), \u2018[e]xceptional\u2019 meant \u2018uncommon,\u2019 \u2018rare,\u2019 or \u2018not ordinary.\u2019\u201d[25] Accordingly, the Court held that \u201can \u2018exceptional\u2019 case is simply one that stands out from others with respect to the substantive strength of a party\u2019s litigating position (considering both the governing law and the facts of the case) or the unreasonable manner in which the case was litigated.\u201d[26] In reaching its holding, the Court relied, in part, on the D.C. Circuit Court opinion in which then-Judge Ginsburg, joined by then-Judge Scalia, rejected a claim that fee-shifting awards must be supported by subjective bad faith, holding instead that the \u201cexceptional case\u201d standard should be construed according to its ordinary meaning\u2014\u201cuncommon, not run-of-the-mill.\u201d[27]\nOctane Takes Off: Application to Trademark Cases\nThe Third Circuit was the first to apply Octane in a trademark action, followed by several others, including, most recently, the Ninth Circuit on October 24, 2016. This progression is consistent with the migration of other Supreme Court rules from one intellectual property field into another; for example, the application of the patent doctrine of willful blindness in copyright cases,[28] and the extension of eBay\u2019s[29] rule regarding irreparable harm in patent permanent injunction applications to preliminary injunctions in both trademark and copyright cases.[30]\nAlthough trademark litigants should not expect awards of attorneys\u2019 fees to become \u201can ordinary thing,\u201d[31] the Supreme Court\u2019s relaxation of the standard for fee awards in patent cases should result in a corresponding lowering of the bar in trademark cases.\n[1] 134 S.

As a quick refresher, British photographer David Slater traveled to Indonesia to photograph macaque monkeys. He left his camera unattended on the jungle floor, where a monkey grabbed it and took a series of handsome selfies, including this one. Slater returned to the U.K., where he asserted copyright ownership in the image, including by sending a cease and desist letter to Wikimedia for including the image in its database of public domain images. Under U.S. law, only human beings can be authors of copyrightable subject matter. Accordingly, Wikimedia gave Slater the stiff-arm and refused to take the image down. Although Slater made noise about filing suit, he never did, and the controversy died down.\nEnter PETA \u2013 People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Dubbing the monkey \u201cNaruto,\u201d PETA sued Slater and others, alleging that the defendants infringed Naruto\u2019s copyright by reproducing, distributing and displaying the selfie. The defendants moved to dismiss for lack of standing under Article III and the Copyright Act. The court granted the motion, finding that Congress did not grant statutory standing to animals under the Copyright Act.\nThe Copyright Act does not define the terms \u201cwork of authorship\u201d or \u201cauthor.\u201d PETA argued that anyone who creates a work of authorship \u2013 even an animal \u2013 has Copyright Act standing. Macaque monkeys, PETA reasoned, are \u201chighly intelligent, capable of advanced reasoning and learning from experience\u201d; have \u201cstereoscopic color vision with depth perception\u201d; and are \u201cvision dominant.\u201d The court noted, however, that the Copyright Act \u201cmakes no mention of animals anywhere,\u201d and the Supreme Court and Ninth Circuit have referred to \u201cpersons\u201d and \u201chuman beings\u201d in analyzing authorship claims. Moreover, the Copyright Office will not register claims of authorship by animals. Indeed, the Compendium of U.S. Copyright Office Practices states that to \u201cqualify as a work of \u2018authorship\u2019 a work must be created by a human being. Works that do not satisfy this requirement are not copyrightable.\u201d Compendium 313.2 Indeed, the Compendium specifically cites as an example of uncopyrightable authorship \u201ca photograph taken by a monkey.\u201d\nThe court thus had little difficulty concluding that Naruto lacks standing to assert a claim of authorship under the Copyright Act. Naruto is not done monkeying around, however. An appeal has been filed with the Ninth Circuit, and Naruto\u2019s opening brief is scheduled to be filed on June 28, 2016. Following the appeal is sure to be more fun than a barrel of monkeys.\nYou can read the District Court opinion\nposted inUncategorized\ton November 13, 2015 with 0 Comment\tby\tNaomi Jane Gray\nNous sommes tous Parisiens.\nposted inCopyrightability\ton October 8, 2015 with 0 Comment\tby\tNaomi Jane Gray\nThis morning, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued its ruling in the Bikram yoga case, affirming that a yoga sequence is an uncopyrightable system or method. The plaintiff had obtained a copyright registration for a book in which the sequence was published, but that registration could not extend to the sequence itself because the sequence was a \u201csystem\u201d or \u201cmethod\u201d of working the body\u2019s muscles, ligaments and tendons to achieve optimal health. Accordingly, the sequence was not an expressive work and also could not be protected as a compilation or choreographic work.\nThe plaintiff in this case, Bikram Choudhury, has gained notoriety for his aggressive efforts at enforcing his copyright against other yoga instructors. And the notion of obtaining copyright protection for yoga poses seems understandably silly given that yoga has been around for thousands of years. It puts the Happy Birthday dispute \u2013 over a work authored in 1893 \u2013 into perspective!\n\u201cHoly copyright law, Batman!\u201d\nCourt affirms Batmobile is copyrightable\nposted inCopyrightability\ton September 23, 2015 with 0 Comment\tby\tNaomi Jane Gray\nThe Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has affirmed that the Batmobile is copyrightable and that an individual who made and sold replicas of it is liable for infringement.\nJudge Rules Warner-Chappell Does Not Own Copyright in \u201cHappy Birthday\u201d Lyrics\nposted inAuthorship, Ownership, Transfers\ton September 23, 2015 with 0 Comment\tby\tNaomi Jane Gray\nYesterday a federal judge ruled that Warner-Chappell does not own copyright in the lyrics to the song \u201cHappy Birthday.\u201d The lawsuit addressed only the lyrics, as the parties agreed that the music passed into the public domain long ago. The opinion is a beast, weighing in at a very dense 43 pages, and leaves the reader hanging until the very last minute.\nThe court addresses several issues, concluding (1) there is a genuine issue of material fact as to the authorship of the \u201cHappy Birthday\u201d lyrics; (2) there is a genuine issue of material fact as to whether a divestive publication of the \u201cHappy Birthday\u201d lyrics occurred (specifically, whether the lyrics were the subject of an authorized \u201cgeneral publication\u201d under the Copyright Act of 1909 that divested the lyrics of common-law copyright protection); (3) there is a genuine issue of material fact as to whether the purported author abandoned her copyright in the lyrics; and, finally, (4) there is insufficient evidence to establish that the purported author ever transferred her rights in the lyrics to Warner-Chappell\u2019s predecessor-in-interest.\nIt is important to note that, contrary to various assertions by commentators online, that the opinion does not hold that the lyrics are in the public domain. This is perhaps a wonky copyright distinction, but one that is substantively very important. The ruling holds only that Warner-Chappell does not own copyright in the lyrics. It is at least theoretically possible that some other party could come forward and establish ownership. This seems fairly unlikely, given that the song was authored in 1893 and solid evidence regarding chain of title has faded into the mists of time.\nThe resulting uncertainty highlights the problem of \u201corphan works\u201d \u2013 works as to which it is very difficult, if not impossible, to establish ownership. The orphan works problem plagues many would-be users of works, who cannot identify or locate the owners of works they may wish to license. There have been many calls for a legislative fix of the \u201corphan works\u201d problem, and we can only hope that Congress takes it up as part of the broader need for copyright reform.\nIn the meantime, happy birthday to everyone!\nFlo & Eddie 2, SiriusXM 1\nFlorida Grants Summary Judgment to Sirius on pre-1972 sound recordings\nposted inPublic performance, State law\ton June 22, 2015 with 0 Comment\tby\tNaomi Jane Gray\nThe Southern District of Florida has granted summary judgment to SiriusXM on Flo & Eddie\u2019s claims that Sirius infringed Flo & Eddie\u2019s public performance rights under Florida state law by streaming pre-1972 sound recordings. Although Flo & Eddie have prevailed in the trial courts in the Southern District of New York and Central District of California on nearly identical claims, the court found that \u201cFlorida is different\u201d because, unlike California and New York, the state has no statutory or decisional law recognizing public performance rights in pre-1972 sound recordings. The New York case is currently on interlocutory appeal to the Second Circuit on the merits, whereas the California case is likewise on appeal, but on the issue of the court\u2019s grant of class certification following a summary judgment ruling in favor of Flo & Eddie. Flo & Eddie will no doubt appeal the Florida ruling to the Eleventh Circuit.\nWhere Do They Go? They Go Up\nFlo & Eddie Class Cert on Interlocutory Appeal\nposted inPublic performance\ton June 10, 2015 with 0 Comment\tby\tNaomi Jane Gray\nThe Central District of California has stayed Flo & Eddie v.

This is an interesting development, as the court earlier declined to certify for interlocutory appeal its grant of summary judgment to Flo & Eddie on the merits. You can read the opinion here.\nFrom \u201cHappy Together\u201d to \u201cEve of Destruction\u201d\nTurtles Seek to Upend Streaming Business Models for Pre-1972 Sound Recordings\nposted inPublic performance, State law\ton May 4, 2015 with 0 Comment\tby\tNaomi Jane Gray\nOn Friday I had the privilege of speaking at the AIPLA Spring Meeting in Los Angeles on the subject of pre-1972 sound recordings and the current series of lawsuits brought by the successors of the Turtles against Sirius XM regarding royalties over pre-1972 sound recordings. Copyright law in the United States is almost exclusively governed by the federal Copyright Act, which preempts equivalent state laws. As originally drafted, however, federal copyright law did not extend copyright protection to sound recordings, leaving those works to be regulated by the states. Congress amended the copyright law in 1972 to add federal protection for sound recordings, but it granted this protection on a prospective basis only. Sound recordings fixed before February 15, 1972 thus remain subject to state law. A series of lawsuits brought by Flo & Eddie, Inc. (\u201cFlo & Eddie\u201d), the entity that owns the copyrights for sound recordings created by the 1960s rock group the Turtles, is upending rules thought long established regarding performance rights of pre-1972 sound recordings under state law.

The firm believes that the discovery and pretrial process are the building blocks for a successful case. Every matter is prepared with the expectation that it will go to trial, but with the goal of settling it in a timely manner.\nHelping you understand the pretrial process\nThe pretrial process for insurance cases in Alabama is very similar to those in other states. It typically takes place in stages, including, but not limited to:\nComplaint -- A complaint is made against an insurance company, often regarding an accident, injury, or other matter covered under an insurance policy.\nAnswer -- The insurer responds to the complaint.\nDiscovery -- In the discovery phase, the insurance case is considered to be at issue. The insurance company and the insured party exchange information about their views of the case. This process is also known as pretrial discovery, and may include the following:\nInterrogatories. Interrogatories are a series of written questions that each side must respond to, usually under oath. There may be an advantage to being the first in a case to request interrogatories, as this provides the opportunity to hear the other side's responses before your side answers any questions.\nDocuments. Relevant documents, such as medical bills, receipts for vehicle repair, and so on, are provided.\nDeposition. A deposition takes place when the parties involved answer questions in person, typically under oath. Deposition is often considered to be the best way to find out what a party knows about a case. The defense will often call for depositions.\nIndependent medical examination (IME). If injuries are involved in an insurance case, the defense may call for an independent medical examination to determine the cause and scope of injuries suffered.\nPretrial settlement -- It is possible that even after going through all the steps listed above, the insurer may request a pretrial settlement. If so, then the case will likely go into mediation, so a settlement may be reached and the case will not go to court. However if mediation is not successful, then the case moves to trial.\nIf you are involved in an insurance case, contact Shealy, Crum & Pike at 334.677.3000 or online today with any questions you may have about the pretrial process.",

McMillan revealed to me that he and Prince were partnered in a company called NorthStar, born out of their dealings getting the \u201cEmancipation\u201d album to market through EMI Records 20 years ago.\nAs I wrote yesterday, \u201cEmancipation\u201d and several other Prince recordings exist outside his deal with Warner Music. Those include his recent \u201cHitandRun\u201d albums, the Black and the Gold albums, Musicology, and so on. His own label, NPG records, would be part of his estate.\nAlso in question would be things like ownership of Prince\u2019s \u201cPurple Rain\u201d movie which was re-released over the weekend. It\u2019s being shown on VH-1 Classics and is the number 2 download on iTunes movies this weekend.\nAll eyes will be on Minneapolis probate court this week to see what happens next.\nBeyonce Goes to Bat in New Video: \"Role Model\" Smashes Set to Smithereens With Skipping Children\nBeyonce and Sony Gave Jay Z 24 Hour Exclusive on \"Lemonade\": Coming to iTunes Tonight",

        "raw_content": "Petra Kvitova beats Eugenie Bouchard to win the Wuhan Open\nHong Wu/Getty Images\nWUHAN, China -- No. 3 Petra Kvitova won her third title of the season by defeating No. 9 Eugenie Bouchard 6-3, 6-4 to win the inaugural Wuhan Open. Kvitova became the fourth player to qualify for the WTA Finals with her title run, which culminated in her first win over a top ten player this season. The Wimbledon champion moved to 3-0 in finals in 2014 and 14-4 in finals in her career, joining Serena Williams, Simona Halep and Maria Sharapova in Singapore.\nSaturday's rematch of the Wimbledon final didn't see the lights-out domination that Kvitova showed that Saturday in July, but it once again highlighted the match-up problem for Bouchard. The Canadian, playing in her third final of the season, plays her best tennis when she can be aggressive, stand inside the baseline and take the ball early. Kvitova simply doesn't allow her to do that.\nAsia Tennis Travels: How I got trapped in a Wal-Mart in Wuhan\n\"I think Petra has a big ball so it's tough sometimes to get into her rhythm,\" Bouchard said. \"I feel like I did better than I did at the final of Wimbledon but still not good enough.\" It was still a positive week for Bouchard, who lost just one set through the week and beat an in-form Caroline Wozniacki in the semifinals. But solving Kvitova remains a problem. \"I think I maybe should have tried to go for a bit more like in the first few shots and kind of play more first\u2010strike tennis, because that's definitely how she plays and maybe try to beat her to the punch a bit more often,\" Bouchard said.\nThe Czech is now 6-0 in sets against Bouchard, who admitted she struggles with left-handed opposition. Kvitova's lefty-serve repeatedly pulled her out of the court to open up space for easy winners. Kvitova raced to a 4-1 lead in the first set and quickly had Bouchard on her heels. \"The first game I break her was very important for my confidence,\" Kvitova said. \"I knew that I have to play a little bit more aggressive than I played the matches before. It's going to be nothing like for Genie. So I need to play a similar game as in Wimbledon, very aggressively going for the shots.\"\nDaily Bagel: 33 ways to celebrate Serena Williams' birthday\n\u200bKvitova wobbled late in the second set and was broken at 5-2 when serving for the match. But she settled herself to serve out the match at 5-4 for her 14th career title. Kvitova finished with 30 winners to 12 winners for Bouchard, who saw more break chances than Kvitova but was only able to convert one of eight chances. The loss dropped the Canadian to 1-3 in finals. Despite the loss she'll move up to No. 7 on Monday, matching her career-high.\nKvitova's three titles are the most she's won in a single season since her breakout 2011 when she won her first Wimbledon and finished the year with six titles. An admittedly erratic player, Kvitova's prowess in the late stages of tournament is simply an issue of confidence. Earlier in the tournament she said she couldn't recall the last time she arrived at a tournament believing from the get-go that she could win. \"It is I think for me the first rounds of the tournament are the toughest one. I really didn't know what's happening from the first round, and it really takes some time with my confidence. If I'm playing longer in the tournament, deeper, then I more believe in myself maybe, and I just love to play the big matches on the big stadium, and especially the finals, of course. It's something that I really always try to play the best what I can in that moment.\"",

        "title": "Significance magazine - Ask a statistician: What is the calorific cost of McDonald's revenue growth? | Significance magazine",
        "raw_content": "Michael Holmes, RSS Statistical Ambassador, writes: That is a difficult question to answer precisely, but we can arrive at a ballpark figure with some number crunching.\nFirst, let us look at McDonald\u2019s globally before focusing closer to home. In 2014, McDonald\u2019s revenue was $27.4 billion, down 2% on the year before. That figure includes $18.2 billion in company-operated sales, and $9.2 billion in franchise revenue \u2013 fees and royalties paid, as a percentage of sales, to McDonald\u2019s by the owners of restaurants not directly operated by the company. This might account for only one-third of McDonald\u2019s total revenue, but 80% of the 36,000 McDonald\u2019s restaurants worldwide are franchised \u2013 meaning we have no real way of knowing how much is spent directly by consumers in the vast majority of outlets. The remaining 20% of restaurants are operated by the company.\nPerhaps the biggest challenge we face in answering this question is that McDonald\u2019s projected sales growth \u2013 or revenue \u2013 is not known. The best we have to go on is that financial analysts are expecting the company to grow earnings at an average annual rate of 8% over the next five years. Revenues drive profits, but earnings can also be improved through cost-cutting measures. So, for the sake of argument, let us say that McDonald\u2019s will want to grow revenues by 5% in 2016 \u2013 an ambitious target, perhaps, given that revenues for the first nine months of 2015 were down 5%.\nAs the company\u2019s full 2015 results were not available at the time of writing, we will set aside this decrease for now and assume that revenue as of 31 December 2015 is the same as 2014: $27.4bn, and that McDonald\u2019s will be looking to add 5% ($1.37bn) to that number by the end of 2016.\nWith the financials taken care of, we can now attempt to convert sales targets into burgers into calories, and provide an answer (of sorts) to the question: how many extra calories will UK and US diners need to consume? It is, however, important to note that our answer will depend on what McDonald\u2019s plans to sell more of in order to hit its targets. If they are pushing sales of carrot sticks (34 calories) then this is going to have less of an impact on the waistline than if the additional revenue is made up entirely through sales of Big Macs (508 calories). But as the Big Mac is the mainstay of the McDonald\u2019s menu, we will use this for our remaining examples and \u2013 to keep things simple \u2013 we will assume that McDonald\u2019s only sells Big Macs.\nIn the UK the Big Mac sells for \u00a32.88, with McDonald\u2019s taking \u00a31.4 billion in revenue in 2014. Measured purely in burgers, that works out at 486 million Big Macs. If McDonald\u2019s was to increase its revenue by 5% this year (again, assuming that 2015\u2019s revenue was also \u00a31.4 billion) it would require the nation to consume an additional 24 million Big Macs, or 12 billion calories. This equates to an extra 191 calories for each of the UK\u2019s 64 million residents, which may sound measly, but \u2013 assuming that there are 3,500 calories in a pound of fat \u2013 that is the equivalent of almost everyone in the town of Rotherham (population 257,000) putting on an extra stone in weight.\nTo apply the same logic to the USA, we find that McDonald\u2019s revenue per capita is 15% lower there than in the UK, so each American would only need to consume an additional 139 calories a year for McDonald\u2019s to boost their revenues by 5%.\nWithout access to McDonald\u2019s detailed sales information, we are unable to tell the exact number of calories required. If the franchises are making large profits then our calculations might be on the low side; conversely if McDonald\u2019s is selling lower-calorie foods, our estimates might be too high. However, by using some simplifying assumptions, we have been able to make a rough estimate of what the extra calories might be.\nWhat is 'Ask a statistician'?\nA new regular column appearing in print and online in which we invite statisticians to answer burning questions put to them by members of the public.

Their generosity means the world to me and I'm grateful to be able to share their wonderful products with my readers.\nOne of these wonderful companies is Hasbro. This is our last Hump Day with Hasbro, but I've saved a great idea for the end. It's a product I loved as a kid, and as soon as I gave it to Isabelle, she loved it too. PLAY-DOH!\nI love that when you open up a container of Play-Doh, it smells the same way it did 30 years ago, only now, with the invention of Play-Doh Plus, the Play-Doh is softer and easier to play with!\nWe were super excited to try the Play-Doh Sweet Shoppe with Play-Doh Plus. Talk about a kid in the candy store. The Sweet Shoppe comes with 5 containers of the good stuff and allows you to make perfect icecream cones that look good enough to eat! (We had to stop Isabelle a few times!)\nThe unit is easy to use, easy to clean and easy to stow away. Best of all, Play-Doh products are super affordable and available practically anywhere you buy toys. It's a perfect gift for girls and boys on your list, and is our go-to activity. It teaches creativity, fine motor skills and encourages role play and silliness, too!\nIf you're looking for a last-minute gift to put under your tree, Play-Doh gets two thumbs up at our home!\nDisclosure: I received a Play-Doh Sweet Shoppe to review for this post.

        "title": "FAQ for Prospective Families :: St. John the Evangelist School",
        "raw_content": "What is St. John the Evangelist School\u2019s mission and tradition?\nThe mission of St. John the Evangelist School is to integrate Catholic philosophy and teaching with academic excellence. We believe that children become aware of their unique value as children of God and begin to identify and develop their talents during their elementary years. St. John the Evangelist School strives to develop our students\u2019 academic abilities and Christian character, encouraging them to become responsible citizens who are interested in serving their local and global communities.\nAs our motto states, we are committed to \u201cInspiring Hearts & Minds\u201d.\nWhat is unique about Saint John the Evangelist Elementary School (SJE)?\nAt St. John the Evangelist School, students are happy, safe, and academically challenged. Each student is welcomed, regardless of socio-economic, physical, or academic background. The faculty recognizes and encourages students to use their unique gifts in the service of others. Our service-learning projects are central to this teaching process and help develop and maintain a culture of respect for all life. As students progress through our school, they begin to understand and appreciate the contributions they can make to our school, parish, and community at large.\nWe are a welcoming, caring community. Our sense of community and the importance of serving others, along with our award-winning academics, identify who we are. Our school community reaches out to others in many ways to make them feel welcome. Our parent mentoring program welcomes new parents into our school community. Our classroom buddy system (older students paired with students in the primary grades) forms a special bond among students. Parish volunteers for classroom tutoring, guest speakers, club moderators, after-care providers, and lunch-duty monitors add to the richness of our school community.\nWhat does the National Blue Ribbon designation really mean?\nOn September 24, 2013, it was announced that St. John the Evangelist had been selected as a U.S. Department of Education National Blue Ribbon School. One of only fifty private schools in the nation to be given this designation in 2013, SJE was also one of only seven Maryland elementary schools, public or private, to win the honor as a \u201chigh-performing\u201d school. That means that SJE was ranked among the highest performing schools in reading and math, with its students testing in the top 15% of all students, as measured by a nationally normed test, in the state in those areas.\nOnce a school receives the Blue Ribbon designation, it is considered a National Blue Ribbon school and is not required to reapply. The year the school sought nomination must be listed, and schools can choose to reapply for the designation, but not before seven years.\nSince the awarding of the Blue Ribbon in 2013, SJE has continued to meet the Blue Ribbon Standards in Reading and Math in all applicable grades. Our scores are well above the national average in these areas.\nWhat can you tell us about SJE\u2019s academic standards and curriculum?\nSince SJE has been designated as a National Blue Ribbon School and continues to meet those standards, our students in each class scored at the top 15% of our nation\u2019s scores in reading and mathematics. SJE\u2019s school curriculum follows guidelines set by the Archdiocese of Washington\u2019s Catholic School Office. The Archdiocese sets rigorous academic standards defining what students should know at every grade level across the archdiocese. (Standards are listed under the Academics tab; select classrooms.)\nSJE has a Resource Program which is designed to serve, as far as possible, the children in our parish who have been diagnosed with learning and/or physical challenges. The educational plan and resource time advised through the professional evaluation will be incorporated by the resource teachers and classroom teachers as much as possible. Ordinarily, if there are other elementary school-aged siblings in the family, it is expected that they will attend our school as well.\nSt. John the Evangelist School is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, a division of AdvancED. This partnership provides us with a demanding research-based process that incorporates strategic planning and Catholic standards into school accreditation. Accreditation is a rigorous process used to validate that schools in the Archdiocese of Washington uphold their Catholic identity, ensure high academic achievement, provide safe and nurturing learning environments, and work to continuously improve. St. John the Evangelist School\u2019s faculty and parents work in conjunction with the school\u2019s Advisory Board and administration to monitor and coordinate yearly reviews of the goals set during the reaccreditation process. Subcommittees continue to work toward increasing enrollment, improving facilities, increasing outreach, and, most importantly, ensuring the curriculum is rigorous and engaging. All of these strategies and efforts make the vision of a constantly improving St. John the Evangelist School come alive.\nCan you tell us more about the students and families attending SJE?\nSJE has approximately 145 families in the school. Over the past five years, our student body ranged between 203 \u2013 210. Class size averages 20-22 students with a maximum of 30 students. About 84% of our population is Roman Catholic.\u202fIn the 2016-2017 school year, the demographic composition by Race in our school was 59% White, 23% African and African-American, 4% Asian and Asian/American, 14% Mixed or Other.\u202f Diversity by Ethnicity was 88% non-Hispanic and 12% Hispanic.\nOur families are brand new to the school, have been here over 18 years, and are somewhere in between. Last year\u2019s graduating class of 24 students had been students at St. John the Evangelist for a total of 178 years! Our student retention rate is 92%.\nWhat is the school day like?\nArrival time for students in Junior Kindergarten through Grade Eight is 7:50-8:05am. Students in K- 8 wait on the playground until the bell rings at 8:05am. (Junior Kindergarten students go directly to the classroom.) At that time, they form lines and enter the building by means of their classroom exterior doors or the doors at the end of the corridor.\nThe school day begins at 8:05am and ends at 2:55pm. Before and after-care programs are available at additional cost, allowing full-time working families to drop off their children by 7:30am and pick their children up as late as 6:00pm each day.\nDuring the day for K-4, students have Mathematics, Reading, Religion, Science, and Social Studies. They have classes in Physical Education, Music, Spanish, Art, Library, and Computer Lab each week. They have morning snack and break time and afternoon recess each day.\nFor grades 5-8, students are grouped into smaller groups for better-focused learning in Mathematics, Literature, Science Labs, Art, and Spanish. Spanish is offered twice a week so that students will be prepared for higher levels of Spanish in high school.\u202f Middle School students change classrooms and teachers for different subjects.\nOn the First Friday of each month, grades K-8 attend Mass. Grades 1-8 take turns preparing for the liturgy. The class in charge for that month gives the opening welcome, reads the epistle, sings the refrain and the communion reflection song, and reads the petitions. On other Fridays of the month, classes attend Mass.\nThere are days during the school year when students attend special assemblies\u2014guest speakers, student appreciation day, field day, Student Council elections, Literary Day, History Day, talent show, band and spring concerts, etc. On these days, we have special schedules in the afternoons.\nWhere is St. John the Evangelist School located?\nThe school is located at 10201 Woodland Drive, Silver Spring, MD 20902, just north of I-495 and the Forest Glen Metro station. The school is bordered by a quiet neighborhood, but is also in a great location for parents commuting into the district, with Georgia Avenue and August Drive as the cross streets.\nDoes St. John the Evangelist School offer an extended day program?\nSt. John the Evangelist offers both before and after care programs at additional charges. Before school care begins at 7:30 am and after school care ends at 6:00 pm. St. John the Evangelist also offers after school programs, such as Art Horizons, Band, Scouting, and Science and Math Club.\nDoes St. John the Evangelist School offer Financial Aid?\nFinancial Aid is available to Kindergarten through Grade 8 applicants. Your application must be submitted through the Archdiocese of Washington Financial Aid process (TADS) and is used for determining both Archdiocesan and local monies for tuition assistance as they become available to St. John the Evangelist Parish and School.\nWhat extracurricular activities are offered at SJE?\nSt. John the Evangelist Parish participates in Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) sponsored sports programs for Grades K-8 offering: soccer, basketball, baseball, softball, T-ball, and track. Children develop the athletic virtues of teamwork, self-discipline, good sportsmanship, and competitiveness in a positive, Catholic environment. Flyers will be sent home throughout the school year as each sport is preparing for its season. Some programs are in conjunction with other Archdiocesan schools\u2019 CYO programs.\nSt. John the Evangelist School offers some club and class activities after school. Not every activity is offered every quarter, but notices of these activities will be sent to parents.\nSome examples of activities offered in the past include:\nArt Horizons (fee-based art program)\nBoy Scouts (All grades)\nGirl Scouts (All grades)\nYearbook (Grade 8)\nWhere do St. John the Evangelist School students go upon graduation?\nSt. John the Evangelist School students leave with excellent academic skills, self-confidence, and the moral foundation necessary for success in high school and beyond. Our graduates have recently been placed in the following fine schools:\nWhat costs and commitments can I expect for my child to attend SJE?\nWe strive to make tuition affordable for families.\u202f Tuition rates for the 2017-2018 school year are as follows:\nCatholic Tuition for K - 8 $7,750\nNon-Catholic Tuition K - 8 $9,850\nFull day program $9,250\nHalf day 8:15-12:30 $5,650 (includes lunch)\nThere is also a mandatory book/field trip/hot lunch fee of $400 per child in K-8.\nTuition and fees are paid through TADS via automatic deductions.\nFor parents with more than one child registered to attend SJE, the parish offers a sibling discount, which would be deducted from the tuition rate.\nUniforms are required for students in grades K-8. There is also a gym uniform. Uniforms may be purchase through:\nGently used uniforms are available for purchase at steep discount through the school\u2019s Used Uniform Boutique.\nBefore- or After-Care\nIf families decide to enroll their students in before- or after-care programs, the costs are tabulated each month and bills are sent. The Before Care rate is $4 per half hour.\u202f After Care is $9 per hour.\nFundraising Obligation\nIn order to meet the Home School Association\u2019s (HSA) annual fundraising goal, we require each family to participate in whichever fundraising activities they choose in order to contribute a minimum of $370 per year. These funds are raised in an effort to keep tuition costs as low as possible. These fundraising activities, a percentage of which can go toward your obligation, will be outlined at the first HSA meeting of the year. In lieu of participating in these activities, you may make a donation of $370 per family.",

And the Salisbury office hold an annual partner\u2019s BBQ which means an afternoon off to socialise with your colleagues.\nI wanted the opportunity to experience the many different facets of a career in the finance industry and the internship at Smith & Williamson did just that \u2013 from churning through the numbers to being a trusted advisor to clients ranging from wealthy individuals and corporations, to partners or children with trust funds.\nMy manager was a wonderful mentor, patiently answering any questions I had and making sure I had a variety of work to do which meant that I never got bored. You feel as though you are immediately responsible for these individuals\u2019 tax affairs, with other members of the team relying on you to get the work out in time for internal and external deadlines. The rush close to a deadline quite thrilling; the office has a tangible buzz about it.\nChemical Engineering Student \u2013 Cambridge University, PCTS Salisbury\nDuring my time at Smith & Williamson I was part of the forensics team, where the vast majority of work is case based. I spent most of my time in Monitoring and Trustee services which consisted of me doing a lot of research on the current mergers and acquisitions that we were entrusted with, as well as attending many calls and keeping on top of the vast amount of documents received. As part of one of the cases, I enjoyed a two day trip to Paris to the offices of a client we were working with, taking part in meetings and experiencing a completely different professional culture. This would have to be the highlight of my internship.\nOverall, I couldn\u2019t have asked for a better experience. I made great friends with the other interns in the London office and we regularly meet up over lunch or after hours. The work was interesting and I really enjoyed the level of responsibility I was given. The atmosphere in the office is extremely welcoming and the culture of putting the client first really did shine through.\nGeography student - University of Exeter, Forensics London",

        "raw_content": "The power of country music\nBy Mallory McDonald\nThis weekend was the 50th anniversary of the Academy of Country Music Awards (ACMs).\nAnd I was lucky enough to be there.\nI first fell in love with country music in the late \u201890s (yes I was little, but I remember) with Shania Twain, George Strait, Alan Jackson and Brooks and Dunn.\nThe genre has reinvented itself over the years, but its ability to tell a story better than any other kind of music has not.\nThe evening was hosted by Luke Bryan, who won the fan voted Entertainer of the Year, and Blake Shelton. It also made record breaking history, becoming the most attended live award show in TV history.\nCountry music is America; it\u2019s hopeful; it\u2019s love.\nOver the years, \u201cJack and Diane\u201c took us along their road to growing up and figuring out life and love.\nJonny Cash cut us deep in \u201cHurt\u201d with lyrics like, \u201cEveryone I know goes away/In the end/And you could have it all/My empire/I will let you down/I will make you hurt.\u201d\nA lot like writing, and maybe even more so, music has the ability to reach people from all walks of life, connect us, and put into lyrical art the emotions we all feel.\nSometimes, I wish my life could be set to a constant record of the genre\u2019s deep voices.\nCountry music is the greatest love story ever told. It\u2019s the one between mom and dad, dad and daughter, mom and son, man and woman, fans and superstars.\nSure, beer, good times, shaking it, trucks and whiskey often make an appearance too, but love is at the root of every country song.\nYes, I want success\u2014as an author, journalist and educator.\nBut when it comes to love, all I really wanna do is be the redheaded girl in a country song being sung to by Sam Hunt, Dierks Bentley, Kip Moore, Chase Rice, Scotty McCreery\u2014or the George Clooney of music, Kenny Chesney.\nPosted on April 23, 2015 by Daily Campus Staff\n#Academy of Country Music Awards, Blake Shelton, country music, Luke Bryan\nZane Williams brings country back\nCountry crooner Cody Johnson talks past, present, future\nCountry artist, American Idol winner Scotty McCreery talks \u2018Go Big or Go Home\u2019",

        "raw_content": "Can I Continue To Contribute To My Retirement While In Bankruptcy? (Part 2)\nIn my last post, I discussed retirement contributions within the Chapter 7 context. Our attention now turns to retirement contributions in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy.\nII. Retirement Contributions In A Chapter 13 Bankruptcy\nIn discussing Chapter 7, I referred to Form 22A. The Chapter 13 analogue is Form 22C, which is very similar to Form 22A; but there are some differences.\nOne difference is Form 22C\u2019s line 55, which permits a debtor to list \u201cQualified retirement deductions.\u201d There is no analogue to Form 22C\u2019s line 55 in Form 22A. This indicates that the Commission that created Form 22 (Form 22A for Chapter 7, Form 22B for Chapter 11, and Form 22C for Chapter 13) believed that Congress wanted Chapter 13 debtors, but not Chapter 7 debtors, to able to contribute to their retirement \u2014presumably to \u201cencourage\u201d debtors to go into Chapter 13, so that their creditors would receive something through the Chapter 13 plan.\nWhy did the Commission include line 55 in Form 22C? The best explanation is found in 11 U.S.C. \u00a7 541(b)(7). A little background will help to understand that statutory subsection and its application to the creation of Form 22C. Continue Reading Can I Continue To Contribute To My Retirement While In Bankruptcy? (Part 2)\nThis easy question to state has a surprisingly complicated answer. This is bad news if you were hoping for a simple yes or no, but good news if you\u2019re a fan of more complex legal analysis. In this post, I\u2019ll discuss retirement contributions within the Chapter 7 context. In my next post, I\u2019ll discuss retirement contributions in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy.\nI. Retirement Contributions In A Chapter 7 Bankruptcy\nThere are at least two reasons why Chapter 7 debtors would want to continue contributing to their retirement plans (for linguistic simplicity, let\u2019s assume we\u2019re dealing with a 401(k) plan, since it\u2019s easier to type \u201c401(k)\u201d than \u201cretirement plan\u201d): First, to provide for those golden years of not having to spend two plus hours a day commuting (those of you who don\u2019t live in a traffic nightmare area like the Los Angeles environs may not understand this problem except on a theoretical level, but it\u2019s very real here), and second, to chew up income to qualify for Chapter 7 relief.

Perseus submarine is not only among the most impressive wreck dives a diver can experience, but has an amazing history as well. The vessel was on combat patrol in December 1941, and while cruising at the surface at night hit an Italian naval mine and sunk. From the crew of 59 only one, the Royal Navy leading stoker John Capes managed a daredevil escape from a depth no one has attempted before, swam his way to Katelios and with the aid of locals escaped capture from Italian and German occupation forces and finally transferred in Turkey. While legendary in Royal Navy, almost nobody believed his adventure until in 1997 a team of Greek divers located the submarine and verified details of his described escape. The divers approaching the submarine encounter a magnificent vessel 88 meters long, with a large conning tower, the ship\u2019s gun and the rear hutch still open indicating the escape route of John Capes, while a look in the interior is possible. Among other things, the torpedo tubes and the ship\u2019s propellers and rudder are visible. The submarine is practically an artificial reef and colorful sponges, small fish and aquatic creatures take shelter here, while predators like amberjacks and snappers are frequent visitors. The average depth or the dive is 40 m, while the max is 50, reserving the submarine for experienced and technical divers. The visibility is usually greater than 25m while temperature ranges between 18-24 C in summer months, depending on depth. Occasionally there may be strong currents close to the surface.

        "raw_content": "Childhood Cancer Facts: 10 Things You Should Know About Childhood Cancer\nEvery year, 300,000 families around the world will hear, \u201cYour child has cancer.\u201d But you can do something about it.\nIf you want to get involved in the fight against childhood cancer, here are 10 facts you should know.\n1. Childhood cancer is the number one disease killer of children in the U.S.\nIt\u2019s the second leading cause of death (following accidents) in children ages 5-14.\n2. Every two minutes a child is diagnosed with cancer.\nThat\u2019s 300,000 kids around the world every year. Learn more about this statistic >\n3. The average age of a child diagnosed with cancer is 6.\nBut you don\u2019t have to be a child to be diagnosed with childhood cancer. Childhood cancer is diagnosed in all ages, from newborn infants to children and young adults.\n4. 80% of children diagnosed with cancer are in developing countries.\nChildhood cancer is a global problem, and one institution can\u2019t solve it alone. That\u2019s why we fund the very best research, no matter where it takes place. Learn more about our international footprint >\n5. The most common childhood cancer is acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).\nIn the 1950s, almost every kid with ALL died. But today, thanks to childhood cancer research, about 90% of children with ALL will survive.\n6. In 80% of kids with cancer, the cancer has already spread to other areas of the body by the time it is diagnosed.\nThat\u2019s why so many children with cancer need to begin treatment right away. Many adult cancers can be diagnosed early. Learn more about the differences between adult and childhood cancers >\n7. Much of what we know about treating adult cancers has been learned from childhood cancer research.\nSome aspects of cancer treatment today, such as combination chemotherapy, can be traced to pediatric cancer research.\n8. There are over a dozen types of childhood cancer and hundred of different subtypes.\nThe more rare types, when added together, account for about 30% of cancers in children and adolescents. But because so few children are diagnosed with each type, it\u2019s very difficult to do research on these cancers.\n9. One in five children diagnosed with cancer in the U.S. will not survive.\nFor the ones who do, the battle is never over.\n10. Because of the treatments they had as kids, more than 99% of childhood cancer survivors will have a chronic health problem and 96% will have severe or life-threatening conditions.\nBy the time they\u2019re 50 years old, survivors of childhood cancer experience about 5 severe or life-threatening chronic health conditions on average.\nChildren should not only survive, but thrive. We\u2019re funding research to find cures AND give survivors long, healthy lives. Learn more about how we are taking childhood back from cancer >\nChildhood cancer is a big problem, but YOU can help.

        "raw_content": "By MATTHEW PERRONE, AP Health Writer\nThe Food and Drug Administration sent a letter late Wednesday to family doctors, nurses and other health professionals warning about the form of lymphoma in breast implant patients. In suspected cases, the FDA recommends laboratory testing to confirm or rule out of the disease. It\u2019s the first time regulators have issued such a warning to doctors other than plastic surgeons.\nThe disease is not breast cancer, but usually forms in the scar tissue that forms around implants.\nRegulators said they have identified 450 likely cases of the cancer since 2010. That\u2019s a tiny number considering 400,000 U.S. women receive implants annually.",

        "raw_content": "Cash Out Options for Structured Settlements\nThe process of cashing out a structured settlement is more commonly known as structured settlement factoring, which is the process of transferring the rights to structured settlement payments. Annuitants have several options when cashing out structured settlement payments, including the number of payments to cash out, amount of each payment to cash out, and company that will complete the factoring transaction.\nA few life insurance companies do offer services to help their policy holders cash out structured settlement payments. These services are ideal for annuitants who will net $10,000 or less after completion of the factoring transaction, due to the standard 12% discount rate that these companies offer. Traditional factoring companies will not complete a transaction of this amount with a 12 % discount rate.\nFor larger transactions, ($10k and up) a traditional factoring company is the way to go. These transactions can be completed with discount rates as low as 7.5%, depending on the size and competition involved in the transaction.\nIf you would like more information on this topic please contact us or give us a call at 888-665-1257.",

The rise of the Internet and the wide availability of inexpensive computers have made it possible to gather and analyze network data on an unprecedented scale, and the development of new theoretical tools has allowed us to extract knowledge from networks of many different kinds. The study of networks is broadly interdisciplinary and central developments have occurred in many fields, including mathematics, physics, computer and information sciences, biology, and the social sciences. This book brings together the most important breakthroughs in each of these fields and presents them in a coherent fashion, highlighting the strong interconnections between work in different areas. Topics covered include the measurement of networks; methods for analyzing network data, including methods developed in physics, statistics, and sociology; fundamentals of graph theory; computer algorithms; mathematical models of networks, including random graph models and generative models; and theories of dynamical processes taking place on networks.",

We hadn\u2019t seen that before.\u201d\nHard-to-see and quantify biological concerns such as high levels of chemicals in our oceans are a major worry for James, who cites the plight of heavily-contaminated killer whales off Scotland\u2019s coasts.\nBut the most visible pollutant, plastic, was the one that made the biggest impact.\nAnd he says making it a dominant feature was central to the series and a focus supported by Sir David Attenborough.\nBlue Planet executive producer James Honeyborne\n\u201cWe decided that we wouldn\u2019t turn our cameras away,\u201d said James.\n\u201cWe didn\u2019t want to shy away or sanitise the situation.\n\u201cWe showed a baby albatross which had died a pretty gruesome death because its parents had fed it a toothpick.\n\u201cGiving the impression the oceans are fine and healthy would have been misleading, so we weren\u2019t going to take stuff out.\n\u201cSir David very quickly put his finger on plastics as a subject he wanted to talk about, and he was right to do so.\u201d\nBlue Planet 2 was the most-watched TV show of 2017 with more than 14 million viewers, with the resultant public outrage prompting UK legislation aimed at cutting plastic waste.\nAnd the United Nations announced a taskforce to tackle plastic waste.\nThe series has been shown worldwide and there has been a similar groundswell of action from China and Australia to North America.\n\u201cThe reaction was amazing,\u201d said James. \u201cThe natural world is facing huge crisis.\n\u201cHowever, we have seen this huge commitment to action and the response we\u2019ve had to plastic pollution fundamentally gives me optimism.\u201d\nBanning plastics \u2018could cause more damage to planet\u2019",

        "title": "The Making of Northeast Asia | Kent Calder and Min Ye",
        "raw_content": "Kent Calder and Min Ye\nSERIES: Studies in Asian Security\nSecurity Studies / Asian Security\nNortheast Asia, where the interests of three major nuclear powers and the world's two largest economies converge around the unstable pivot of the Korean peninsula, is a region rife with political-economic paradox. It ranks today among the most dangerous areas on earth, plagued by security problems of global importance, including nuclear and missile proliferation. Yet, despite its insecurity, the region has continued to be the most rapidly growing on earth for over five decades\u2014and it is emerging as an identifiable economic, political, and strategic region in its own right. As the locus of both economic growth and political-military uncertainty in Asia has moved further to the Northeast, a need has developed for a book that focuses analytically on prospects for Northeast Asian cooperation within the context of both Asia and the Asia-Pacific regional relationship. This book does exactly that, while also offering a more general theory for Asian institution building.\nKent Calder is the Edwin O. Reischauer Professor, the Director of the Japan Studies Program, and the Director of the Edwin O. Reischauer Center for East Asian Studies at Johns Hopkins University. He previously was the special adviser to the U.S. ambassador to Japan.\nMin Ye is Assistant Professor of International Relations at Boston University. She specializes in China Politics, Comparative Political Economy, and Asian International Relations.\n\"The authors make a provocative argument, backed up with a wealth of evidence from economic, social, technical, and political fields of activity. The book is valuable both for the argument it advances as well as for the material it has organized on regional interactions in the twelve years or so following the Asian financial crisis of the late 1990s.\"\n\u2014Erik Mobrand, Asia Pacific World\n\"This book locates Northeast Asia at the core of East Asian regionalism through illustrating the integrative forces of economic, social and cultural cross-border interaction. Calder and Ye document intensifying interdependence and challenge the view of a Northeast Asia threatened by crisis and power competition. . . Blending new and established data, this fascinating study argues that these dynamics [tourism, exchanges, and institutionalized policy] have greater impact on East Asian integration than power competition.\"\n\u2014Sebastian Maslow, Political Studies Review\n\"In stressing the cooperative dimension of relations among [Japan, China, and South Korea], the book not only calls for a new focus for regional analysis, but it also challenges the more traditional treatment of Northeast Asia as a hotbed of geopolitical tensions and rivalries . . . Those interested in regional relations will thus find much to applaud in this book.\"\n\u2014T. J. Pempel, International Relations of the Asia-Pacific\n\"The Making of Northeast Asia, makes an important contribution to the literature on East Asian security, and its arguments will challenge and provoke available institutionalist and constructivist scholarship on Asian regionalism. It is going to be widely read and debated.\"\n\u2014Amitav Acharya, Professor of International Relations, American University, Washington, D.C.\nMore in Politics\u2014Asia\nTaiwan\u2019s China Dilemma\nEdited by Jean C.

        "raw_content": "Trans-cosmic flow broadens our horizon\nIn one of the weirder astronomy press releases I've seen in a while, it appears that material literally outside the visible Universe is tugging on material that we can see.\nHubble image of the Bullet Cluster, which appears to be getting yanked by material from The Other Side. Click to embiggen.\nWhat does this mean? First off, let's take a sec and talk about the visible Universe. If you go outside and look around, you don't see the whole Earth. You only see a small fraction of its surface, because the Earth is a curved ball. The solid planet itself blocks your view. The farthest you can see is out to the horizon, where the curving Earth dips everything else below your view (well, except for tall objects like buildings and ships at sea, but we can ignore them for this analogy).\nThe Universe is the same way. The fabric of space is expanding, with the cosmos getting bigger every day. This has an odd effect: objects farther away appear to be moving more rapidly away from us. Eventually, an object can be so far away that the space between us is effectively expanding faster than the speed of light! This does't violate any physical laws, because nothing material is actually moving at transluminal speeds; it's just that there is more space itself between us and that object all the time.\nThis effect naturally provides us with a cosmic horizon. Any object \"moving away\" from us faster than light can't be seen by us; the photons it emits can't keep up with the expansion of space. They lose energy and fall away from view (like a slow walker on a fast treadmill... or better yet, an ant walking along a rubber band that is being stretched). So, to us, an object far enough away is invisible, beyond the Universal horizon.\nWeird, huh? Yeah, as usual, things get even weirder.\nNow imagine a third object, say a cluster of galaxies, that lies between us and the one that is beyond our horizon. To the cluster, the object may still be visible, because it's closer, and therefore not receding as rapidly. It's like an island just over the horizon to you as you look seaward from the beach; to you the island is invisible, but to someone a few kilometers out to sea in a yacht the island is still visible.\nThat cluster can still be affected by the more distant object, pulled by its gravity, for example. To us, farther away, we don't see that distant object, but to the cluster it's sitting right there and still, literally, a force with which to be reckoned.\nIf you want to go away for a moment and take some Tylenol, I understand. I feel a bit headachy myself just writing this.\nThe thing is, astronomers now think they've detected this force! Clusters of galaxies are filled with extremely hot gas, or plasma, heated by things like the galaxies' motion in the cluster. As light from objects farther away passes through this gas, it gets affected by it, and we can measure that change. This is called the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect, and it's too weak to measure well in individual clusters, but by looking at literally hundreds of clusters, the effect adds up and can be seen. [Edited to add: the photons that are being affected are not from the matter beyond the horizon, but from the cosmic microwave background, the relic radiation from a very early time in the Universe, but still in our visible Universe. Sorry I wasn't clear about that in the original post.]\nThe total force is fairly big, in fact. Clusters seen in the direction of the constellations Centaurus and Vela appear to have an additional 3 million kilometers per hour added to their usual velocity! That means that some very large clump of matter -- probably a cluster of galaxy clusters, called a supercluster -- lies in that direction, over the horizon to us but very much visible to clusters we can see.\nImagine! It's a sobering reminder that the Universe itself is literally bigger than we can see, with the majority of it forever beyond our ken.\nAnd if your quota of weird isn't yet sated, then ponder this: the expansion is accelerating. That means that objects we can see today, so distant they linger on our current horizon, will eventually fall away from view as the accelerating expansion beats out the velocity of the light they emit. They will literally move beyond the horizon and become invisible. In a sense, it's as if the visible Universe is shrinking, the horizon getting closer to us every day. The physical Universe is getting bigger, but almost paradoxically what we see of it gets smaller. Someday, billions of years from now, only the closest of objects will remain visible.\nEverything else will have sailed below the horizon. So we better take a look around while we still can.\n[Incidentally, I cover this topic in more detail in my book Death from the Skies!, coming out in October, but already available for pre-order.]",

        "raw_content": "\u00ab Previous: What you need to know about the\u2026\nNext: Using containers? What\u2019s\u2026 \u00bb\nAnonymity\u2014one of the biggest draws of cryptocurrency and the blockchain infrastructure it depends on\u2014could get turned on its head if the vision of the head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) comes true.\nChristine Lagarde, managing director of the IMF, called in a recent blog post for more regulation of the cryptocurrency market\u2014to include the use of tools to enable more effective surveillance.\n\u201cThe same innovations that power crypto-assets can also help us regulate them. To put it another way, we can fight fire with fire,\u201d she wrote, arguing that regulation should include the use of biometrics, artificial intelligence, and cryptography to identify those conducting transactions.\nOr, as Motherboard put it, \u201cAll of a sudden, the same decentralized record-keeping properties that make the blockchain subversive also make it a surveillance platform without equal.\u201d\nIf true, that would undermine the explicit promises of Monero, one of the more popular (because it is among the most rigorously private) of the now more than 1,600 cryptocurrencies available, that transactions are \u201csecure,\u201d \u201cprivate,\u201d and \u201cuntraceable\u201d and that \u201ctransactions on the Monero blockchain cannot be linked to a particular user or real-world identity.\u201d\nThe issue of anonymity\nHowever, experts say the anonymity issue is more complicated than saying it is airtight now and would be destroyed by applying biometric tools and machine learning to blockchain transactions.\nIt has never been completely airtight, they say, but they agree that there are clear privacy advantages offered by cryptocurrency and blockchain.\nAmong the advantages, notes Sammy Migues, senior member, technical, with the Synopsys Software Integrity Group (SIG), is that \u201cwe have lots of transactions today that \u2018positively identify\u2019 the \u2018person\u2019 who did it, but we know they really don\u2019t. We have transactions done by shell companies, we have spouses and kids who use our credit cards or toll pass, and so on.\u201d\nAnd Jeremy Malcolm, senior global policy analyst at the privacy advocacy organization Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), adds that while the blockchain does leave a money trail, sophisticated users can obscure that trail. \u201cIf you convert your Bitcoin to another currency using an anonymous service like Shapeshift.io, that\u2019s enough to make tracking much more difficult, especially if it is converted to Monero,\u201d he said.\nHow much would Lagarde\u2019s recommendations change that? It is hard to say so far, since none of them has been codified into regulation or law. And they are likely to provoke vigorous debate.\nHer stated rationale was all about protecting consumers and the stability of financial markets. She wrote that the technology behind cryptocurrency, including blockchain, is an \u201cexciting advancement that could help revolutionize fields beyond finance.\u201d\nCracking down on financial crimes\nBut she contended that the very thing that makes it appealing\u2014the kind of anonymity that makes transactions similar to those in cash\u2014is what makes it dangerous.\nThis \u201cpotentially major new vehicle for money laundering and the financing of terrorism\u201d ought to be regulated, she wrote, both to crack down on criminals and to bring more financial stability to what is, obviously, an extremely volatile market. The price of the most popular and well-known cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, has spiked from less than $1,000 to nearly $20,000 and then fallen back to less than $8,000 in just the past 15 months.\nCracking down on financial crimes in general is also not going to create much controversy\u2014multiple nations, including the United States, are already doing so and looking to strengthen laws that make it more effective.\nBut there is a difference between surveillance and/or regulation to expose and prosecute criminal actions and applying the same actions to \u201chate,\u201d which can have a rather elastic definition.\nAnd that is where cryptocurrency exchanges are already not as private as some users think. Some exchanges freely acknowledge that they track, and shut down, some users for what they consider the promotion of hate.\nAt a congressional subcommittee hearing a couple of weeks ago on possible regulation of cryptocurrency exchanges, Mike Lempres, chief legal and risk officer of Coinbase\u2014the biggest U.S. exchange\u2014was asked what he\u2019s doing to prevent white nationalists from using his exchange to fund their activities.\nHe said Coinbase kicks anyone off its platform who does anything they consider \u201cencouraging or facilitating hate.\u201d He said that because the blockchain is \u201can immutable, permanent record that\u2019s publicly available,\u201d Coinbase can use analytic tools to track \u201cbad actors\u201d in the exchange.\nEven exchanges that promise privacy can\u2019t really guarantee it. Indeed, just this past week, multiple news sites took note of a report by researchers from Cornell that they had figured out a way to strip privacy protections from Monero transactions conducted prior to early 2017.\nLagarde\u2019s proposed regulation would go beyond that, however, seeking to identify individuals, not just organizations. She called for combining know your customer (KYC) requirements, which are designed to counter crimes like money laundering, with tools like \u201cbiometrics, artificial intelligence, and cryptography [which] can enhance digital security and identify suspicious transactions in close to real time.\u201d\n\u201cThis would give law enforcement a leg up in acting fast to stop illegal transactions. This is one way to help us remove the \u2018pollution\u2019 from the crypto-assets ecosystem,\u201d she wrote.\nIf it worked as intended, that would undermine the blockchain anonymity factor, which has allowed participants to trace funds moving from address to address, but without knowing specifically who owns the addresses.\nAnd tracking specific people, and not just their anonymous transactions, \u201cworks in the interests of organizations that Bitcoin was ostensibly set up to overthrow,\u201d Motherboard said.\nMalcolm called it ominous at a number of levels, describing Lagarde\u2019s vision as \u201cprofoundly dangerous.\u201d\nIncreasing pressure for censorship\nHe said one of the ways cryptocurrencies have the potential to be a good alternative to conventional currency is that they are \u201cless susceptible to censorship by intermediaries\u2014the kind we call Shadow Regulation\u2014meaning that it is not as transparent and accountable as normal governmental regulation, even though governments may be among those exerting pressure for the financial intermediaries to censor.\n\u201cA good example of this is when WikiLeaks was censored by the major credit cards and banks, under pressure from the U.S.,\u201d he said.\n\u201cAnother example is the use of financial censorship against sexual content, and also against drug information.\u201d\nHe added that \u201cBitcoin platforms like Coinbase are becoming equally subject to such pressure to censor as the traditional payment intermediaries. And we think that private censorship by intermediaries is profoundly dangerous.\u201d\nMigues said the reality is that this capability has been in place for some time.\nEven though it remains true that \u201cevery blockchain-based implementation will positively identify a transactor, but may not positively identify a human,\u201d he said there is no such thing as complete anonymity, even though various services may advertise it.\n\u201cAs we\u2019ve discovered over time, none of them actually are,\u201d he said. \u201cVPN services actually know who you are, and can tell law enforcement; Google knows who searchers actually are very quickly, and can tell; visitors to random websites get tracking cookies and are identified very quickly\u2014and the sites can tell on you\u2014and so on.\u201d\nWhich may make cash start sounding attractive once again.\nHow can blockchain applications adapt and adopt software security best practices?",

        "raw_content": "Home Great Taste Award Winners Reserva Familiar Picual Extra Virgin Olive Oil\nFrom Oro Bailen\nAn outstanding green olive oil, with a fruity, grassy flavour.\nReserva Familiar Picual is the flap ship grand cru of Oro Bailen one of the world's top 3 olive oil mills in 2017 according to the Worlds' Best Olive Oil (based on the cumulative score from 14 leading international olive oil competitions).\nIt is a medium green fruity oil with a moderate spiciness and a very elegant and balanced taste. It can be used on a large variety of dishes but is particularly well suited to tomato salads, grilled meat, carpaccio, tuna and grilled vegetables. Unlike most Picual oils, this does not have the usual bitter after taste.\nProduced in the world capital of olive oil, Jaen in Andalusia, at the foothills of the Sierra Morena. The climate in this area is largely determined by the peculiar structure if the valley, which thanks to its ocean opening, allows cloud masses to enter crossing the corridor from West to East aided by the dominant winds and causing important rainfalls during the Spring and Autumn.\nThe oil is produced from the picual olive variety grown in two farms which are fully irrigated, offering a spectacular stability in quality and quantity. It is extracted at low temperatures within 2 hours of the harvest which typically takes place late October to early November, at the peak of the olive's quality. It is subsequently filtered and stored in a temperature controlled environment with an inert gas. This process helps to preserve the oil at its highest taste.\nOro de Bailen is one of the world's finest extra virgin olive oils. It has won numerous awards around the world including:\nA gold medal and \"Best of Class\" at the Los Angeles International Extra Virgin Olive Oil Competition 2010.\nTwo gold stars at the 2010 Great Taste Awards.\nGold at the 2012 The Mario Solinas Extra Virgin Olive Oil Quality Awards.\nIs in the Top 20 of the Flos Olei Guide 2012, a guide to the world's best extra virgin olive oils. It also picked up a gold medal in the Oil China Competition in 2012 and another gold in the Intense Green Olive category at the AVPA Competition in Paris.\nVoted second in the World Olive Oil Awards by Evooleum and given top marks of 98/98 by Flos Olei in 2017.\nProduced by Oro Bailen.\nKara T\nI love this oil. We buy it as a gift, and everyone we have given it to has been so impressed by how fresh it tastes.",

Wheelchair tennis players are allowed two bounces of the ball and can easily play against other wheelchair tennis players, as well as alongside or against non-disabled friends and family.\nOne of the biggest myths about wheelchair tennis is that you have to use a chair in your everyday life in order to be eligible to play. In actual fact, the game is open to anyone with a physical disability including, but by no means limited to, spinal injuries, spina bifida, limb loss, hyper mobility and cerebral palsy.\nThere are opportunities to enter tournaments from beginner level right up to the UNIQLO Wheelchair Tennis Tour, where the world's top players compete in three divisions - men, women and quad, which is for those with a disability in three or more limbs.\nThe Tennis Foundation Wheelchair Tennis Development Series caters for players of all abilities and is the entry-level tier of tournaments for wheelchair players in Great Britain. Development Series tournaments are open to absolutely anyone who would like to compete and there are plenty of other local events too.\nYou can get started in a day chair (if you use one) but you will find movement around the court improves when using a tennis chair as they are specifically designed for that purpose with an anti-tip wheel at the back and the side wheels being on an angle to help with changing direction.\nThere are tennis chairs available at all centres supported by the Tennis Foundation or you can contact the Dan Maskell Tennis Trust to apply for a grant to purchase your own.",

The rest of the G7 outperforms the UK by nearly 20pc in GDP per hour worked.\nThe remedy, we are told, is top down. It is government-driven, the product of an industrial strategy and of multi-year investment plans. This is, of course, if we are to believe Theresa May and Bank of England officials.

Check out this story on Tennessean.com: http://tnne.ws/1MyASa9\ntwilemon@tennessean.com Published 12:26 p.m. CT July 17, 2015 | Updated 9:47 a.m. CT July 23, 2015\nPrison study\nGovernor's Task Force on Sentencing and Recidivism State of Tennessee\nWest Tennessee State Penitentiary.(Photo11: Mike Brown / File / Memphis Commercial Appeal)\nA task force appointed by Gov. Bill Haslam to look at prison sentencing is considering recommendations for longer prison terms.\nThe enhanced penalties under consideration would boost the prison population in Tennessee by 4 percent over a five-year period, according to a report by Vera Institute of Justice. The discussion is occurring as the state already has prisons at capacity, is struggling to control incarceration costs and is dealing with a shortage of correctional officers.\nIt is also being considered as Corrections Corporation of America expands its footprint in Tennessee.\nLonger sentences would be unwise and fall short of the goals the governor set for the task force, said Dawn Deaner, the Metropolitan public defender for Nashville-Davidson County.\n\u201cNot only will it not likely improve public safety, but it will increase our prison population when other states elsewhere are really looking at how they can try to reduce their prison populations,\u201d Deaner said.\nThe Governor\u2019s Task Force on Sentencing and Recidivism, which has been at work for a year, has not kept any official records of its decision-making process even though it could make its recommendations as early as next month. Nor were the meetings webcast and archived, said Jennifer Donnals, communications director for the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security.\n\u201cMost of the meetings have consisted of breakout sessions of different working groups focused on various issues,\u201d Donnals said. \u201cThe task force has not yet submitted its recommendations to the Public Safety Subcabinet, but that should happen within the next few weeks.\u201d\nThe next meeting of the task force is scheduled for Aug. 6.\nThe Tennessean obtained a copy of the Vera Institute of Justice report, a 32-page document that provides analyses of the enhanced penalties under consideration. Those penalties would require someone convicted three times or more of aggravated burglary and of drug trafficking to serve 85 percent of the prison term handed down by a judge, according to the Vera Institute report.\nRELATED: Vera Institute Report for Governor's Task Force on Sentencing and Recidivism\nHaslam announced last August that the task force would receive assistance from the Vera Institute, but Donnals said the report \u201cis an independent analysis prepared by the Vera Institute reflecting Vera\u2019s opinions.\u201d The nonpartisan research organization has decades of experience advising local and state governments on criminal justice issues.\nMembers of the task force did talk about the enhanced sentences during a May 8 meeting with the Tennessee District Public Defenders Conference. Deaner said only about a quarter of the state district public defenders were able to make it to the meeting, which occurred in Nashville on a weekday, when many had to be in their respective courts.\nShe shared a copy of a PowerPoint presented by the committee. The presentation did not spell out specifics about enhanced sentencing, but it did note the \u201cneed for increased transparency and certainty at the time of sentencing.\u201d\n\u201cThere was some discussion back when the governor formed this task force that there was only one public defender on the whole task force and no criminal defense lawyers,\u201d Deaner said. \u201cThe task force consisted almost entirely of law enforcement folks.\u201d\nThat report recommended ways the state could lower its prison population, such as increasing the felony threshold for a property crime from $500 to $1,000 and limiting incarceration for parole violations that are not new criminal offenses.\n\u201cCurrently, more than 40 percent of TDOC admissions are due to revocation of probation or parole for reasons other than commission of a new felony offense,\u201d the report stated.\nIt suggested graduated confinement sanctions as an alternative to sending convicts back to prison to serve full sentences because of parole violations. It also said the state should consider developing policies for the release of elderly prisoners at low risk for committing crimes again.\nThe report estimated that enhanced sentencing for the multiple convictions of drug trafficking would increase the prison population by 4 percent and enhanced sentencing for the multiple burglary convictions would increase it by 2 percent over a five-year period. However, Christine Herrman with the Vera Institute said the report had been updated with a revised estimate for enhanced burglary sentencing that indicates a negligible increase.\nAnd Hermann said the projected 4 percent increase with drug trafficking convictions could be offset if the state adopts other recommendations in the report.\nBoth public and private prisons in the state are already at 98.6 percent capacity, according to the Tennessee Department of Correction. And the agency is projecting a 6,364 unmet bed demand by 2018 without the enhanced sentences figured in.\nThe Tennessee Department of Correction just closed the 760-bed Charles Bass Correctional Complex in Nashville, but Corrections Corporation of America is building a $140 million prison with 2,552 beds in Trousdale County, which will be the company\u2019s fifth facility to house state inmates.\nState prison systems are dealing with security force shortages since the Tennessee Department of Correction switched officers from a traditional 40-hour work week to a schedule with higher hurdles for overtime pay. Legislators have questioned the policy.\nTennessee House Minority Leader Craig Fitzhugh, D-Ripley, said he asked Correction Commissioner Derrick Schofield if changes within the agency were a \u201cbig attempt to privatize prisons\u201d and the commissioner answered no.\nThe Department has entered into a six-year contract valued at $276.3 million for Trousdale County to house state prisoners at the facility CCA is building.\nThe Tennessee Private Prison Contracting Act limits the state to one private prison contract, but there is a way around that law. A county enters an agreement with CCA for a prison then the state pays the county to house the inmates.\n\u201cTechnically, this arrangement may not violate the statute, but it is an end-run around the legislature\u2019s attempt to limit the extent to which prisons are run by private companies,\u201d said Christopher Slobogin, director of the criminal justice program at Vanderbilt Law School. \u201cA profit motive may create an incentive to have more prisons and prisoners, which can ultimately cost the state more money. At the same time it may create an incentive to cut costs, which is not always the best thing for prisoners or for programs that might reduce their recidivism.\u201d\nThe Governor\u2019s Task Force on Sentencing and Recidivism may recommend longer sentences for multiple convictions of some crimes. The committee is nearing the end of its work.\nWhen: 9 a.m., Aug. 6.\nWhere: Andrew Jackson Building Hearing Room, 500 Deadrick St., Nashville.\nRead or Share this story: http://tnne.ws/1MyASa9",

That word also applies to this UT program in its fifth season under Butch Jones.\nAnatomy of a Hail Mary:How the Florida Gators beat the Tennessee Vols with one 63-yard pass\n5 things we learned:Tennessee football loses to Florida on Hail Mary, 26-20\nAnd there are no family-friendly words for Jones\u2019 second-half coaching Saturday at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. There are no excuses, there isn\u2019t a catch phrase to smooth this over and there is not a single person who wants to hear how the Vols (2-1) just played \u201cthree games in 13 days\u201d \u2014 not when they played Indiana State a week ago and had the normal amount of time to prepare for this game.\nNo, this could be a breaking point for Jones. And for his defensive coordinator, Bob Shoop, whose defense actually did fine for most of the day against what has to be one of the worst offenses in college football right now. Giving up that play at the end is absolutely senseless. Yes, there was a slim chance Franks could complete a pass long enough to set up a long field-goal try, but you absolutely can\u2019t let receivers get free deep.\nTennessee Vols vs. Florida Gators at The Swamp\nFlorida wide receiver Tyrie Cleveland (89) catches a 63-yard desperation pass as Tennessee defensive back Micah Abernathy (22) fails to block him during the Tennessee Volunteers vs. Florida Gators game at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville, Florida Saturday, Sept. 16, 2017.

Calvin Mattheis / Knoxville News Sentinel\nThis is a Florida team, missing its top receiver and top rusher among nine suspended players, that now has two offensive touchdowns in two games. This is a Florida coach, Jim McElwain, who was thought by many to have jumped the shark in Gainesville (that\u2019s a reference to Fonzie jumping over a shark on water skis in a 1977 episode of \u201cHappy Days,\u201d a sure sign that he and the show were on the decline \u2014 what did you think I meant?)\nMcElwain was booed, correctly, for botching the clock management late and requiring that Hail Mary when the Gators had time to try to work for a field goal. He then met his match in late-game coaching botchery.\nAdams: Vols football comeback in Swamp sunk again by Florida on Hail Mary\nMore:Tennessee Vols will have to wait until 2019 to break curse of The Swamp\n\u201cWhen we allowed the quarterback to flush the pocket, anything can happen,\u201d said Jones, which is true when you don\u2019t protect your back side.\nAnd, again, it\u2019s a shame for the Vols because they do not quit. Just as in the season opener against Georgia Tech, a dismal loss turned double-overtime win, they stacked huge plays late to give themselves a chance. Witness Justin Martin\u2019s marathon sprint to force a fumble from behind \u2014 Tennessee has a knack for that one \u2014 when it looked like Florida freshman Malik Davis was going to run in a 74-yard touchdown to make it 20-3 and put the game away.\nTennessee Assistant Head Coach and Running Backs Coach Robert Gillsespie reacts to a play in disbelief during the Tennessee Volunteers vs. Florida Gators game at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville, Florida on Saturday, September 16, 2017. (Photo11: Calvin Mattheis, Knoxville News Sentinel)\nWitness UT emotional leader John Kelly\u2019s beastly 34-yard touchdown run on the ensuing drive to make it 13-10 and set up the possibility of another dramatic finish in this rivalry (though his ill-timed Gator chomp drew a taunting penalty and set the Gators up with a short field to respond with their first touchdown of the season).\nWitness Quinten Dormady\u2019s perfect touchdown loft to Ethan Wolf from 28 yards away with 4:43 left, answering the Gators with a 30-second scoring drive the Vols needed badly. Witness Rashaan Gaulden\u2019s diving interception on a tipped pass on the next possession, setting up the Vols to go in for the win.\nMore: How the Florida Gators beat the Tennessee Vols 26-20\nAnd witness all the stupid things that went wrong that didn\u2019t have to go wrong, serving to indict Jones again. That winning drive stalled at the Florida 9 (three straight incompletions!), so Aaron Medley tied it with a field goal with 50 seconds left, avoiding a fourth miss on the day (one for him, two for freshman Brent Cimaglia) and a lot of questions for Jones about how he handled the kicking competition during camp.\nThere are more pressing issues here. Jones might get into the Bad Coaching Hall of Fame just on the strength of the Vols\u2019 sequence from the Florida 1 in the third quarter \u2014 near interception, false start, incomplete pass, screen pass for nothing, interception.\nFlorida wide receiver Tyrie Cleveland (89) catches a 63-yard desperation pass as Tennessee defensive back Micah Abernathy (22) fails to block him during the Tennessee Volunteers vs. Florida Gators game at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville, Florida Saturday, Sept. 16, 2017. Florida defeated Tennessee 26-20. (Photo11: CAITIE MCMEKIN/NEWS SENTINEL)\nYeah, Larry Scott is the Vols\u2019 first-year play caller but this offense is Jones\u2019 baby, and he has to pipe in at some point and mention that Kelly (141 rushing yards, 96 receiving yards) can probably get a yard. Later, I would have liked to have seen the Vols\u2019 trash-can guy jump on the headset and scream at Scott and Jones that a Dormady keeper isn\u2019t getting it done on third-and-5 from the Florida 26 (Medley then missed from 44).\nThe SEC East is wide open, folks, and the Vols nearly overcame all of that and more to grab a crucial road win. They nearly won at Florida for the first time since 2003. They nearly had us all talking again about the intangibles that Jones instills, rather than the decisions he flubs on game day.\nAnd then came Franks to Cleveland. No excuses, no cute sayings and there will be no public mercy for Jones in the week ahead. No laugh track available, either.",

        "raw_content": "The apprenticeship reforms depend on the success of the EPA\nIf employers feel confident that people who have completed the end-point assessments are competent in their occupation, the reforms will have succeeded, writes Sir Gerry Berragan\nBy Sir Gerry Berragan\nFor years, employers have questioned the ability of people who have undertaken vocational training programmes \u2013 including apprenticeships \u2013 with many asking: \"Can they really do the job?\"\nPeople were acquiring qualifications that validated their ability to carry out individual tasks, but not necessarily becoming competent at the job at hand. Assessments were typically carried out by the trainer, which is particularly true of the old apprenticeship frameworks.\nWith the new apprenticeship reforms, and the introduction of independent end-point assessment (EPA), we are directly addressing this concern.\nApprentices on new apprenticeship standards will undertake a rigorous test of their occupational competence at the end of their apprenticeship. This will be conducted by someone who has expertise in the area, but has had nothing to do with the apprentice\u2019s training or employment to date.\nMuch like the driving test, we don\u2019t assess people\u2019s ability to drive by asking their driving instructor to sign off in isolation that they can reverse around a corner or carry out an emergency stop. An independent assessor conducts a final assessment to test their driving ability as well as their knowledge of the Highway Code. Most importantly, it\u2019s safe to go out on the roads because the driving test is robust and fair.\nThis is where we need to get to with apprenticeships. The apprenticeship reforms depend on the success of the EPA. If employers feel confident that people who have completed the EPA are competent in their occupation, the reforms will have succeeded.\nI know that this is a big change, which can be unsettling. People have expressed concerns that there won\u2019t be enough assessment organisations in place to deliver assessments. That those organisations that are in place won\u2019t be able to find enough assessors who have the required occupational expertise and independence. Or that EPA won\u2019t be consistent between different end-point assessment organisations (EPAOs).\nConcerns overplayed\nI understand these concerns, but I think they are sometimes overplayed by certain parts of the sector with a vested interest, particularly those resisting the reforms. And all of these concerns will recede in importance as the reform programme becomes more mature.\nIt is, for example, true that not all standards have assessment organisations on the Register of End-Point Assessment Organisations (RoEPAO). But a very detailed description of the skills, knowledge and behaviour required to complete the assessment, and the assessment methods that will be used, is available for every standard that is approved for delivery. As a result, any apprentice can find out what is expected of them, even where an EPAO is not yet in place for their apprenticeship.\nThis isn\u2019t to suggest that we are in any way blas\u00e9 about coverage and readiness of EPAOs. Nor are we blind to the challenges and risks of bringing a large suite of new assessment organisations into the system.\nMaking sure that EPA is being undertaken fairly and consistently between different assessment organisations is the role of external quality assurance (EQA). Ensuring that EQA is in place across all standards is a statutory responsibility of the Institute and we\u2019ve created a framework which details what EQA should cover.\nProviding a clear framework for EQA is important because we\u2019re not delivering it all ourselves. We\u2019re asking employers who design apprenticeships to decide which organisation is best placed to give them assurance that the assessment in their sector is high quality. In some cases, that will indeed be the institute and we\u2019re currently named as EQA provider for around 40 per cent of the published apprenticeship standards.\nIn other cases, where employers want only Ofqual-recognised bodies to deliver assessment, Ofqual may be the preferred EQA provider. Other employers though are choosing employer-led groups or professional bodies to take on this role, because they place a high value on recognition of their standard by their employer group or professional body. Where this is the case, our quality assurance committee will review the proposed organisation\u2019s approach to EQA to ensure that it complies with our framework. They also consider whether that organisation can perform the role in a truly independent fashion, which includes checking there are no links to assessment organisations that might compromise an organisation\u2019s ability to undertake EQA fairly.\nWe have approved five organisations to act as EQA providers so far, with more in the pipeline. These organisations \u2013 whether it\u2019s the Worshipful Company of Saddlers quality assuring the saddlery assessment, or People 1st in the hospitality sector \u2013 will ensure that EPA is conducted fairly and give employers the assurance they need that apprentices completing assessment in their sector are fit to do the job they\u2019ve been trained for. In addition, providers will deliver EQA as prescribed by the Institute to ensure that EQA itself is consistent and fair.\nSir Gerry Berragan is chief executive of the Institute for Apprenticeships\nApprenticeships FE Technical Education Vocational studies Breaking views\n'This isn't MI5': the quest to find end-point assessment...",

The prize split that the Oklahoma City couple would take home was $48,087.\nOn Thursday, the Terrells made their way to Texas Motor Speedway to pick up their check and they were greeted with a standing ovation by speedway staff members and a giant check presentation in the infield media center.\n\"They called and told me that I won and I could come get the check, so I was ready to get off that plane right then,\" said John Terrell, a speedway season ticket holder for the past 20 years. \"But it's really great to be here today. We have been to a lot of places. We have season tickets at Las Vegas (Motor Speedway), too. But Texas Motor Speedway always does it right. We're always impressed by the way things are done here and that keeps us coming back.\"\nThe inaugural 50/50 Raffle benefitting Speedway Children's Charities-Texas Chapter raised $96,174 during the O'Reilly Auto Parts 500 weekend.\n\"We couldn't be happier with the money that was raised by our amazing fans during the April race weekend,\" said Marissa Chaney, executive director of the SCC-Texas Chapter. \"To bring in close to $50,000 for the charity and also put some smiles on the faces of a long-time speedway family like the Terrells definitely makes this a win-win for everyone here today.\"\nJohn Terrell bought the raffle tickets on a whim, thinking that his $100 was simply a donation to the Speedway Children's Charities - and he was \"perfectly fine with that.\" But when Carol double, triple- and quadruple-checked their numbers against the winning number on April 9 - the day after the O'Reilly Auto Parts 500 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race - she quickly showed her husband.\n\"(John) was flabbergasted for three days,\" said Carol, noting they plan on putting the money toward some of their investments and into their retirement. \"I initially thought we missed winning by one number. But then I noticed that the even numbers were on the left-hand side of the ticket sheet. That's when I realized we had won.\"\nThe 50/50 Raffle benefitting Speedway Children's Charities-Texas Chapter will return for the upcoming tripleheader weekend featuring the Verizon IndyCar Series, the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, and the Stadium SUPER Trucks. Tickets will be sold on-site June 7-9 with the winner to be selected during \"America's Original Nighttime IndyCar Race,\" the DXC Technology 600 on Saturday, June 9.\nStationary and mobile sellers will be roaming the speedway property throughout the weekend. Once again, 50 percent of the proceeds from the raffle will benefit the SCC-Texas Chapter, which has helped distribute more than $10 million in funding to children's nonprofit organizations throughout North Texas.\n0 comments Verizon IndyCar Series, NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, NASCAR Xfinity Series, Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series, Speedway Children\u2019s Charities",

It was modified and expanded by their business partner, Ray Kroc, of Oak Park, Illinois, who later bought out the business interests of the McDonald brothers in the concept and went on to found McDonald\u2019s Corporation.\nIn 1937, Patrick McDonald opened \u201cThe Airdrome\u201d, an octagonal food stand, on Huntington Drive (Route 66) near the Monrovia Airport in Monrovia, California. Hamburgers were ten cents, and all-you-can-drink orange juice was five cents. In 1940, his two sons, Maurice and Richard (\u201cMac\u201d and \u201d Dick\u201d), moved the entire building 40 miles (64 km) east, to West 14th and 1398 North E Streets in San Bernardino, California. The restaurant was renamed \u201cMcDonald\u2019s Famous Barbeque\u201d and served over forty barbequed items.\nIn October 1948, after the McDonald brothers realized that most of their profits came from selling hamburgers, they closed down their successful carhop drive-in to establish a streamlined system with a simple menu of just hamburgers, cheeseburgers, french fries, shakes, soft drinks, and apple pie. The carhops were eliminated to make McDonald\u2019s a self-serve operation. Mac and Dick McDonald had taken great care in setting up their kitchen like an assembly line to ensure maximum efficiency. The restaurant\u2019s name was again changed, this time to simply \u201cMcDonald\u2019s,\u201d and reopened its doors on December 12, 1948.\nPrevious articleAwesome Punk Flyers & Posters from The 80s\nNext articleNever Seen Bob Marley In Concert?

        "title": "Stainless - \"One of A Kind\" Essay \u2014 The 8th Floor",
        "raw_content": "Stainless \u2013 \u201cOne of a Kind\u201d\nby Ted Henken\nWhy is it that we value an original work of art \u2013 one of a kind \u2013 more than a copy, a reproduction, a Canal Street knock-off? Is it our aesthetic sensibility, our search for quality and the unique, our showy \u201cbling\u201d ambition, or merely the economists\u2019 law of supply and demand applied to art? How is our awe in the face of rare, one of a kind works of art impacted in the digital age, when virtually any media product (an image, a sound, a text) can be perfectly reproduced and endlessly shared an unlimited number of times at negligible cost in a multiplicity of formats?\nDoes the value we give an \u201coriginal\u201d diminish, erode away to nothing in this context, becoming a mere talisman, a fetish, a relic of a bygone era, forcing us to consider trashing our old prints, throwing out all our \u201cvintage\u201d vinyl, and replacing our scores of cherished dog-eared volumes with easily stored, reproducible, and portable e-versions of these hallowed treasures?\nOr conversely, does our praise for the \u201cone of a kind\u201d in fact increase in direct proportion to our ability to copy and share (sub)\u201cversions\u201d of it with our \u201cfriends\u201d?\nWith respect to Cuba and the art currently being created there and exported all around the world (even to the United States), what gives Cuban art its current indisputable cache? Is it unique, exceptional, one of a kind (perhaps like the island\u2019s music or even its politics?), or is it just another (lesser?) competitor in the multi-billion dollar international art market, its reputation and prices ironically enhanced because of (and thanks to?) our unending, idiosyncratic, and anachronistic embargo? Moreover, how will the economic reforms currently unfolding on the island that seek to revitalize the country\u2019s long-vilified \u201cnon-state sector\u201d and bring in badly needed foreign investment and modern technology \u2013 along with the piecemeal \u201cflexibilizations\u201d of US policy under Obama \u2013 impact Cuban artists and their engagement with the wide world outside?\nThis first-ever US solo exhibition of new work by the upstart three-man art collective known as Stainless (Alejandro Pi\u00f1eiro Bello, Havana, 1990; Jos\u00e9 Gabriel Capaz, Havana, 1988; and Roberto Fabelo Hung, Havana 1991) is entitled \u201cOne of A Kind\u201d precisely with the aim of playfully and pointedly invoking these kinds of questions and reflections among the public. At the same time, the art in this uniquely immersive exhibition seeks to blur if not erase completely the line that separates the artists from their public, inviting viewers to become co-creators of a joint artistic and conceptual experience or \u201cperformance\u201d that subverts the idea of what is unique or precious. This phenomena is heightened in the exhibition through the use of wallpaper burnished in gold laureles (the bay leaf, an ancient symbol of triumph), covering a number of walls in the gallery. The idea is to force the viewer to question whether the installed vinyl, the work of art hanging on the wall, or the entire wall itself (wallpaper and artwork included) is truly the final product.\nAs with some of their previous work in Havana, many of the pieces in \u201cOne of A Kind\u201d are first painted by hand, then photographed, printed, and displayed as one of an unknown number of copies, rather than a singular, inimitable object. Stainless also utilizes a variety of media to assist in this subversion, which include painting, drawing, and video installations. The very name of the group \u2013 Stainless (originally rendered in English, but best translated as \u201cinoxidable\u201d or \u201cinmanchable\u201d in Spanish) \u2013 hints at a cold, industrial aesthetic that has helped to distinguish the trio\u2019s intentions and interests over the past four years from their predecessors. Still, their creative collaboration links them to a long, innovative tradition in Cuban contemporary art of artistic collectives such as \u201cArte Calle,\u201d \u201cENEMA,\u201d \u201cLos Carpineros,\u201d and \u2013 most recently \u2013 \u201cOmni Zona-Franca.\u201d\nBorn quite by chance between 2010 and 2011, just as its three members graduated from Havana\u2019s renown San Alejandro Academy of Fine Art, Stainless is no stranger to provocation, controversy, or even censure (whether political or pornographic). In fact, one of their early works, El gran pastel, is an elaborate rendering of an all-female homoerotic orgy, with each unique naked, spread-eagled figure formed by the nozzle of a pastry tube (in Cuban argot, pastel is a double entendre literally meaning cake but used colloquially to refer to group sex).\nLater, as part of their first large exhibition at Havana\u2019s Centro Hispanoamericano de Cultura in fall 2011, the group launched the interactive \u201cFuck Me,\u201d a work that invited the public to literally eat the meringue-rendered words of a copy of a love letter written to Capaz by a onetime lover. Perhaps most notable was their planned (and ultimately banned) performance of a game of group masturbation in January 2013 at Havana\u2019s La Acacia Gallery. Despite (or perhaps because of) the fact that the live performers were not allowed to come, when photographs of the (private) performance were permitted at the exhibit, the expo quickly became wildly popular, with some critics claiming it was the most visited show in the history of Cuban art.\nArt critic and an early curator of Stainless, P\u00edter Ortega N\u00fa\u00f1ez, has described their work as \u201cmarkedly interactive and participatory\u201d; deeply concerned with the color and texture of their materials (even at the expense of the work\u2019s message or narrative); invariably erotic; having a \u201cpronounced ludic character\u201d full of \u201csurprise and irony\u201d; and \u201cinclined toward grand formats and monumental scale.\u201d Size, in fact, does matter to them. All of these characteristics are vividly present in the current exhibition, \u201cOne of A Kind,\u201d newly and provocatively applied to New York City\u2019s hyper-consumptive world of capital brands and corporate logos. The group\u2019s fascination with marketing and consumerism is evident in the drawing of Times Square (created in New York especially for this show), where masses of people pass through the shopping and entertainment mecca on moving walkways, as well as the print Cosmos Advertising, which features an imagined galaxy where familiar logos replace the stars, planets, and galaxies.\nEnjoy it. \u201cIt\u2019s the Real Thing.\u201d",

From the few minutes I saw, it\u2019s a film I am excited for my family to watch because of the positive message and important life lessons.\nIn Cars 3 we are introduced to new characters, one of them being Cruz Ramirez. Ramirez was brought on to help get McQueen back on track after being out of the limelight. Being a mom of two girls, I love Ramirez because it showed a woman can do anything she sets her mind to, plus it reinforces the fact that it\u2019s okay to do something that isn\u2019t considered the norm.\nMeet Cruz Ramirez \u2013 Cars 3\nI don\u2019t want to give away too much about the film but I would recommend you check it out, even if you\u2019re not a fan of the Cars series, this will be the one you fall in love with. A few things to be cautious of though, it has mild violence, because of a car crash and scary demolition scene but other than that it\u2019s okay.\nPixar Short Lou\nBy the way, if you\u2019re heading out to see Cars 3, there is a surprise six-minute short film that will be played before the Car movie. The short film is called Lou. If you are taking your little one to see Cars 3, then I employ you to make sure they pay attention to Lou because the film tackles a sensitive topic but in an easy and kid-friendly manner.\nI have met the writer and director of Lou, Dave Mullins twice now and he\u2019s an amazing man with a beautiful story.\nDirector Dave Mullins and Producer Dana Murray\nIf by chance you haven\u2019t been following along the last couple of month as I shared some gem from the Disney/ABC Press trip, here is a handy recap.\nPixar Animation Studios \u2013 A Fun Place to Work and Play + Brand New CARS 3 Trailer\nA Day at Sonoma Raceway + Meet the NASCAR Legends in Pixar\u2019s Cars 3",

        "title": "Is Yogurt Healthy? - The Atlantic",
        "raw_content": "There\u2019s Something About Yogurt\nClaudia Totir / Getty / Katie Martin / The Atlantic\nA couple years ago, I was taking a swim with my very pregnant friend when I asked her if it was hard to keep straight all of the doctors\u2019 health recommendations for expectant mothers.\nNot really. For practically every symptom, she said, their recommendations were roughly the same: \u201cTake a walk, eat a yogurt.\u201d\nIt was another example of the Cult of Yogurt. Even though some varieties have more sugar than a Twinkie, perhaps no other man-made food is so often recommended by medical professionals\u2014and to treat such a wide variety of ailments.\nWhenever I\u2019ve been prescribed antibiotics, I\u2019ve always been told to eat a yogurt so that the antibiotics don\u2019t eat up all the \u201cgood\u201d bacteria in my system and leave me with a yeast infection. (Recently, I interviewed a doctor who suggested this is bogus; there\u2019s no way for the yogurt cultures to make it all the way down there.)\nBreath bad? According to a 2005 study, you should eat six ounces of yogurt a day. If you, like \u201c87 percent of Americans, suffer from digestive issues like irregularity,\u201d have some yogurt and you\u2019ll soon be like Jamie Lee Curtis, spritely and unclogged with the help of Activia. (As a later FTC complaint showed, this was not quite true either.)\nBut now, a pair of new studies suggest there might be something about yogurt after all. In the female subjects, at least, it appears to help with markers of inflammation\u2014and that, in turn, can keep other types of diseases at bay.\nInflammation, the body\u2019s immune response to invaders, can be a good thing\u2014it\u2019s how our wounds heal, for example. But a steady, low-level simmer of inflammation in the body is associated with diseases like asthma and arthritis, as well as obesity, metabolic syndrome, and heart disease.\n\u201cPeople who are obese have chronic inflammation, which is why there are diseases associated with obesity, like cardiac disease,\u201d says Caroline Childs, a lecturer in nutrition at the University of Southampton. \u201cSo if you can reduce the inflammation, you might have less associated diseases.\u201d\nBradley Bolling, a food-science professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, decided to put some women on a yogurt-heavy diet. He and his colleagues had 60 women, half of whom were obese, eat 12 ounces of low-fat yogurt every day for nine weeks. A control group ate a non-dairy pudding during that same time. Then, they measured the levels of proteins excreted by immune cells to determine how much inflammation was in these women\u2019s bodies.\nIn a study released late last year in the British Journal of Nutrition, Bolling and his colleagues found that the yogurt-eating group saw improvements in some markers of inflammation. (And, for some of the biomarkers, only the obese group improved.)\nMeanwhile, for an article in the Journal of Nutrition, which was published last week, his team gave the women an \u201ceating challenge,\u201d feeding them a high-fat meal of Jimmy Dean sausage-and-egg sandwiches and hash browns. The point was to see how much inflammation their bodies showed in the immediate aftermath. Typically, our bodies get slightly inflamed after a meal as our immune systems try to sort out whether what we ate was just poison, or not.\nThe group that ate the yogurt before the fatty meal showed less inflammation over the next few hours. In the obese participants, there also appeared to be a faster return to normal blood-sugar levels after the meal, if they\u2019d eaten a yogurt first.\nIt\u2019s not really clear how the yogurt was reducing the inflammation. Its \u201clive and active cultures\u201d might have been strengthening the lining of the gut, thus preventing pro-inflammatory molecules inside the gut from leaking out. (Once they\u2019re out, they can start signaling cells and increasing inflammation throughout the body.) Or, they might have been preventing the immune cells from releasing the inflammatory signals in the first place.\nPast research doesn\u2019t offer us much of a clue how, or if, this works. A couple of small studies from recent years have found probiotic yogurt did lead to slight anti-inflammatory effects, but a Chinese meta-analysis last year found that probiotics were pretty limited in their ability to help rheumatoid-arthritis patients.\nThe yogurts used in Bolling\u2019s study contained the bacteria strains Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, and Lactobacillus acidophilus. The lactose-intolerant or otherwise yogurt-averse could simply take those as probiotic pills, but Bolling says it could be that there\u2019s something about the dairy itself that could be beneficial, above and beyond the benefit of the active cultures. A review paper found that dairy products themselves could be anti-inflammatory\u2014in subjects who weren\u2019t allergic to cow milk, of course.\nThe calcium might help you absorb less fat, Childs says. Because yogurt is protein-rich, it makes you feel more full. And if you\u2019re trying to eat two yogurts a day, like the women in the study did, you might wind up eating fewer unhealthy snacks. You probably wouldn\u2019t do that if you were just taking probiotic pills.\nThere are still reasons why all the excitement about yogurt could, uh, curdle. (Sorry.) Childs told me it\u2019s not really clear how often people have to eat yogurt or probiotics to see benefits from them. \u201cIt seems likely that you have to eat it consistently,\u201d she said. \u201cThe food industry would be very happy to have us eat it every day.\u201d\nAnd lo, Bolling\u2019s study was funded by the National Dairy Council, a non-profit that\u2019s supported by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.\nBolling defended the funding stream, saying, \u201cWhether or not we had the study funded through NIH, or Dairy Council, or USDA, or some other funding agency, we\u2019d come to the same conclusions.\u201d\nAlso, because they were eating so much yogurt and pudding, the obese women gained about a kilogram of weight during the nine-week study.\n\u201cThe [health] benefits may not be apparent in women who are not obese,\u201d said James Versalovic, a professor of immunology at the Baylor College of Medicine in Texas. \u201cThe results were mixed and not uniformly positive, and the elevated sugar content in yogurt may have clouded possible benefits.\u201d Plus, he added, if the \u201ceating challenge\u201d the women were given had been a healthier meal, instead of the sausage sandwiches, they might not have seen as significant of an anti-inflammatory benefit from the yogurt.\nSo, maybe, if you have an otherwise healthy diet, yogurt and its healthy microbes could nudge you toward even better health by reducing inflammation. But Versalovic says that by itself, it\u2019s probably not enough to prevent inflammation-related diseases.\nChilds agreed, saying, \u201cwe\u2019re not quite there yet with the research\u201d to show that yogurt can prevent things like asthma and arthritis. But there\u2019s little risk attached to eating yogurt anyway.\nAnd so we come to the most common reasons why certain foods are deemed \u201chealthy\u201d: It looks like they might benefit us, they don\u2019t appear to cause harm, and they\u2019re rather tasty, so why the heck not. In the messy world of nutrition research, that\u2019s sometimes as close as we can get. When you add marketers to the mix, a health craze is born.\nObjectively, I know it\u2019s still premature to rely on yogurt to treat anything in particular. But when I was working on this piece, I nevertheless couldn\u2019t resist emailing my mom, who suffers from painful arthritis, \u201cHave you considered eating a yogurt every day?\u201d\nI figure it can\u2019t hurt.",

        "title": "Senator Warner: Tech Needs to 'Come Clean' about 2016 - The Atlantic",
        "raw_content": "Facebook\u2019s Evidence of Russian Electoral Meddling Is Only \u2018the Tip of the Iceberg\u2019\nThe ranking Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee believes Facebook, Google, and Twitter aren\u2019t searching hard enough to learn the extent of Russian interference.\nMark Warner talks with reporters in August.Aaron P. Bernstein / Reuters\nIf Congress regulates social networks in new ways following the 2016 election, no single person will have been more responsible than Senator Mark Warner of Virginia. In the aftermath of the election, it was Warner who pushed Silicon Valley executives to delve more deeply into their data, looking for signs of Russian electoral interference.\nAs the ranking Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, Warner has hauled tech-company executives to Washington for questioning. The pressure he applied appears to have been a motivating factor in the companies eventually coming forth with evidence of Russian meddling.\nHow much the social networks have cooperated is still on Warner\u2019s mind, however. He believes that there are far more ad purchases and more Russian-linked accounts than the companies have disclosed, and he\u2019s pushing them to search more deeply.\n\u201cI said, \u2018This doesn\u2019t pass the smell test. You gotta go back and dig in. If this were a new market opportunity, I know the resources you could put into it,\u2019\u201d Warner told me.\nThe next step of Warner\u2019s investigation will be in two weeks, when executives from Google, Twitter, and Facebook will testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee. The following Q&A details what Warner\u2019s thinking about in the weeks leading up to the hearing.\nAlexis Madrigal: So, as of today, what do we know about the Russian disinformation campaign on Facebook and other social-media platforms?\nMark Warner: First of all, let\u2019s step back and put the Russian involvement in 2016 in the overall context. It was approved at the highest level. It was coordinated in ways that were unprecedented. It included the things that have been much reported on, like hacking into both political parties and releasing information harmful to one candidate, Clinton, and helpful to Trump.\nWe know that Russians and even Trump\u2019s Department of Homeland Security have acknowledged that 21 states had their electoral systems probed, if not fully hacked into. We know that this is part of a pattern that has been going on and continues after the election. And it included interventions in the French election, where Facebook was much more active.\nI think our government and the platform companies were more than a little bit caught off guard. I don\u2019t think anyone had seen anything of this scale before.\nMadrigal: When did you start investigating what happened?\nWarner: Right around the time of the election a guy who works for me said, if you Google \u201celection hacking,\u201d you don\u2019t get Fox or MSNBC or CNN. Four of the first five stories were from Russia Today and Sputnik. This was Google, not even Facebook and Twitter. And there were lots of reports of trolls on social media pushing stories. So, it was clear they were using these tools.\nI\u2019ve been a supporter of these tech companies from a policy standpoint. But when I started saying that it appears that there were these trolls trying to use these platform companies to interfere in the election, the companies\u2019 initial reaction was that they blew it off. That disappointed me. There was the famous Zuckerberg comment. And into February and March, they were dismissive.\nYet at the same time, coincident with this, there were the Dutch elections and the Dutch ended up hand counting their ballots because they were concerned about potential foreign intervention.\nSome of the senior Facebook and social-media companies\u2019 executives came out in the spring and I really pressed them. They started to say they were acknowledging something. Facebook talked about the 30,000 to 50,000 accounts in France that they banned. They said, \u201cWe\u2019ve woken up to this.\u201d But it was still many months later, this summer, before any of the companies started to produce some of the content and acknowledge paid advertising and fake accounts. That was just Facebook.\nWe had experts come in who said, this could very well be targeted on a geographic basis, targeted on demographics. Having been in politics and in the tech business, you look at a 750 percent increase in digital advertising in politics between 2012 and 2016, and you say, if you\u2019re going to try to disrupt an election, you would use digital tools. Because it is a lot easier to target it and it\u2019s the Wild West, there\u2019re no election-advertising rules.\nAnd if you do it right the way, you leave few fingerprints.\nMadrigal: In your mind, what are the key outstanding questions?\nWarner: All these companies need to come fully clean about what happened in 2016. Don\u2019t tell me they found 450 accounts linked to the American election when they found 50,000 in France. And don\u2019t tell me they found all the ads.\nThe first pass from Twitter was worse. They took only things that were derivative of what Facebook found. And they found some stuff. But I said, you have to go back and dig in. So, we need to figure out, number one, what happened in 2016.\nWhile I\u2019m trying to not get into the whole editorial-content argument, this notion that we can\u2019t curate at all just doesn\u2019t hold water. They\u2019ve had to do it every time there has been something that has created consequences. Child pornography for example, or terrorist activity, or information on how to create bombs.\nA lot of that was forced by the European governments. Areas reach a tipping point, the [platform companies] step in and act. They have to, if you don\u2019t want over-the-top regulation, or worse yet, we allow this to continue and we have some massive upheaval or loss of faith in the democratic process. Because people see how bad this was with relatively small amounts of dollars spent.\nMadrigal: How might this translate into legislation?\nWarner: Where we\u2019re headed with legislation is the lightest touch possible. Keep some residual location where someone can go look at the [political-advertising] content. Basically apply some of the most basic rules that apply to print and broadcasting to digital media. It doesn\u2019t get at the whole problem, but it gets at the question of tagging political advertising.\nThere is not a legislative proposal here, but I think there is going to be a growing interest in this topic. What I want to make sure is clear to the American people, this is not as simple as following the money on Russian ads. We need to look at the bots on Twitter and the pages on Facebook. Has this been done in collaboration with hate groups in the United States? Is it reinforcing the hate groups? How much responsibility do the companies have to sort through all that?\nMadrigal: Facebook executives, publicly and privately, as well as pundits like Mark Penn, have argued that any Russian interference had a negligible effect because it was too small-time within the scale of Facebook. Are they right?\nWarner: If this tiny tip of the iceberg is the extent of the activity, that might hold some water. But if there is, which I suspect, a much bigger piece of the iceberg below, then they are wrong. The numbers are much, much larger. The public press, so far, is really looking at what is still a limited universe.\nYou can target very discrete demographic locales. There still remains a question: How did they know where to target? I don\u2019t have an answer yet. I don\u2019t know if we\u2019ve got the full evidence. Some people suspect this was very targeted in Wisconsin and Michigan where the Democrats were asleep at the switch. How were they smarter than the Democrats? That may not be a high hurdle to get over.\nMadrigal: You represent a lot of non\u2013Silicon Valley tech companies in Virginia. How have they reacted to the pressure you\u2019ve been putting on Facebook, Google, Twitter, and others?\nWarner: I\u2019ve been surprised that they have been so generally supportive of me driving the whole investigation to its conclusion. The fact that we\u2019ve kept it bipartisan is extraordinarily important. There is not a week that goes by that I don\u2019t get more worried about our vulnerabilities, in my work on this or the banking committee or looking at Equifax.\nSince we\u2019re a high-defense state, it\u2019s not always the best thing to say, but if you take all the Russians spent in messing with our election, the French elections, Dutch elections, and all double it, you\u2019re still less than the cost of one F-35.\nAs someone who comes from a pro-defense state, we have to ask: Do we have the best military money can buy, when we\u2019re seeing the first attacks made in 21st-century digital conflict? I would not narrow it to just the Russian electoral interference. I would talk about the Chinese OPM breach, Chinese intellectual-property stealing around stealth. This is such an asymmetrical area. Our technology advantages end up being a disadvantage.\nWe have been reluctant as a nation to respond too much. You start a cyber conflict when we are so technology-dependent, who knows where it ends?\nThe one thing that is absolutely clear: We don\u2019t have a whole-government approach to cyber. Yahoo has a 500 million user breach. How\u2019s that not material enough to report it in your [Securities and Exchange Commission] filings? We have 49 different cyber-breach laws in 49 states. They didn\u2019t need to disclose it.\nMadrigal: You mentioned driving this investigation \u201cto its conclusion.\u201d What might that look like?\nWarner: Let\u2019s make sure we know entirely what happened. Let\u2019s try to figure out specifically: Was there collaboration or collusion? And in terms of the social-media companies and platform companies, let\u2019s get all the facts of how extensive this interference was. What happened in 2016 happened. We need to know the extent of it to protect our elections. And I don\u2019t think there is any indication that what was happening during the election stopped on November 8.\nGoing forward, let\u2019s have at least regulations on transparency on spending and the ability to look at the content of political advertisements. And in a way that\u2019s not too heavy-handed and maintains the freedom of the internet, let\u2019s at least start the discussion about information integrity, so that Americans know that if they see somewhere that Mark Warner is saying something bad about Donald Trump, you have some faith that it actually is real.",

His first adventures began early when, in 1946, his parents immigrated to farm in Kenya s Great Rift Valley, a magical place for a young boy. Simon loathed his years at boarding school in Nakuru and at Duke of York in Nairobi, always longing for the freedom of the bush. While managing a 2,000 acre farm when he was seventeen, he was drafted into six months compulsory military training after already applying for appointment in the Kings African Rifles. He was accepted into 4 KAR but having just finished his training was sent to Uganda where one of his duties was to teach basic etiquette and rugby to a young Idi Amin. He attended Sandhurst Military Academy and returned to Kenya to join the 3rd Kings African Rifles in time for Kenya s Independence. In 1964, Simon was chosen to form and command Kenya s elite Parachute Regiment. This involved training the first 250 paratroopers in England, and translating all the instruction books into Swahili. Their first posting back in Kenya was fighting the Shifta war in the North Eastern province. It was during this time Simon started to draw and paint as a hobby to occupy his spare time. His subjects were the Somali and Boran people and the landscapes of the North. In 1969, he held his first exhibition in Nairobi which was a sell-out on the opening night. It was then that the idea of painting full-time started. However, he was refused release from the army and was moved to army HQ as staff officer in charge of all operations and training. He was also captain of the army shooting team and vice chairman to the Kenya Rifle Association. A Major at 28 and performing the duties of a Lieutenant Colonel, his military peers remember him fondly as a \"True Kenyan.\" Finally, in 1974, he was released from the army and started life as a professional artist. Best known for his stunning images wildlife in the African bush, he achieved worldwide success and acclamation through many prestigious awards. His paintings hang in private and museum collections around the globe. Simon s life was rich with great adventures and wildlife encounters. From being lost in a blizzard while crossing the Altai Mountains in Mongolia and flying into the jungles of Venezuela to sketching Bengal Tigers atop a howdah on a swaying elephant in India, his experiences and observations led him to develop his exacting artistic style, rendering his subjects with such depth and exquisite detail. Africa & Beyond: The Art and Adventures of Simon Combes, a retrospective exhibition of Simon s major works, was held at The Wildlife Experience Museum in 2004 to celebrate his great artistic achievements. Since 1979, The Greenwich Workshop, Inc., has published his works as Fine Art Reproductions on paper and canvas. He always said, if given the time he would rather write than paint. This talent is apparent in his books An African Experience, distributed by The Greenwich Workshop and Great Cats, published by The Greenwich Workshop, Inc. Simon was also working on a book of Limericks about life in Kenya which reveals his ability to entertain us with his wit and humor. Simon had a wonderful talent for communication, whether in speech, writing or painting. Never self assuming, he gave talks in Kiswahili to the farm staff, through a translator to school children in Russia and also to many interested groups around the world. Not only a man of the arts, but an avid conservationist as well, Simon had recently appointed Kenya Representative and Project Director for Rhino Rescue Trust. He sat on the boards of several wildlife conservation organizations and raised, through his art, many thousands of dollars for their causes. On Sunday, December 12, 2004, atop a beautiful ancient volcano near his home in Africa s Great Rift Valley, Simon s life was tragically taken by one of the wild animals he so lovingly portrayed in his paintings. He never \"gathered moss\" and now he has come home. He is survived by his wife Kat, his children, Cindy and Guy, his sister, Jenny all of Kenya and his former wife Susie of England. We shall remember Simon well.\nSimon Combes Confrontation ANNIVERSARY EDITION ON\nSimon Combes Simba Anniversary Edition\nGWSIMBA\nSimon Combes The Survivors\nSimon Combes In His Prime\nSimon Combes The Solitary Hunter ANNIVERSARY EDITION ON\nSimon Combes Ripples and Reflections",

        "title": "Andrew Cuomo Renews Push for Gay Marriage in New York",
        "raw_content": "Andrew Cuomo Renews Push for Gay Marriage in New York\nThanks to Governor Andrew Cuomo, New York could be the first state to legislatively legalize gay marriage. John Avlon on how the momentum gathered so quickly, and why a victory would be a crucial defeat for marriage-equality opponents.\nNew York is on the verge of becoming the nation's largest state to legalize same sex marriage via its legislature. Supporters are hopeful that this historic civil rights measure will be brought to a vote in the state senate by the end of next week.\nGovernor Andrew Cuomo, with sky-high job approval numbers in the wake of a balanced budget and landmark ethics bill, is said to be pushing for the measure personally, and may meet with state senate Republican leader Dean Skelos early in the upcoming week to discuss the vote-count in an attempt to green-light a vote. If this effort is successful, it will be in large part because a broad coalition was built, including business and union leaders as well as the activist community.\nInterestingly, influential Republican donors have been among the state's strongest backers of the bill\u2014known as \"freedom to marry\" in libertarian-conservative circles. Independent New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg also recently added his powerful voice to the effort.\nThey are far from alone. A clear majority of New Yorkers now support the bill, representing a broad based sea-change in public opinion in favor of marriage equality. Siena College and Quinnipiac University polls conducted this year found that 58 percent and 56 percent of New Yorkers, respectively, support making same sex marriage legal in the Empire State. Significantly, this includes 58 percent of upstate voters, 64 percent of suburban swing voters, 59 percent of Catholics, 59 percent of union households and 61% of independent voters.\nMarriage equality is not remotely the third-rail issue it is sometimes considered. Instead, it can be more fairly seen as an idea whose time has come.\nThis is true nationally as well as in New York. In May, the Gallup poll found a majority of Americans supported same sex marriage for the first time. Fifteen years ago, only 26 percent of Americans believed that same sex marriages should be recognized and given the same legal rights as heterosexual couples. In the last year alone, independent voters' support for marriage equality has increased ten points, from 49 percent to 59 percent.\nBut New York's vote would be nationally significant because it would pass the legislative threshold that conservatives criticize other states for bypassing. In four of the five states that current grant same-sex marriage licenses\u2014Iowa, New Hampshire, Connecticut and Massachusetts\u2014the measure was enacted by court decision stating that the status quo was discriminatory and therefore unconstitutional. Vermont became the first state to pass marriage equality legislatively in 2009. But New York's population is larger than those 5 states combined, marking a dramatic increase in the number of Americans who would have freedom to marry the person of their choice.\nTwo years ago, when the Democrats narrowly controlled the New York state senate, a bill to legalize same sex marriage went down to defeat by a margin of 38 to 24. Now, with Republicans narrowly in control, there are currently at least 26 senators listed as supporting the effort and seven undecided, indicating at this stage of the debate that they are open to supporting marriage equality. Among these undecided are Republicans Senators James Alesi, Roy MacDonald, Steve Saland and Greg Ball. If they ultimately do vote for the freedom to marry, they deserve to be applauded for their independence and commitment to principle above partisanship.\nRepublicans can take some comfort in the fact that language expected to be included in the New York bill would make it clear that religious institutions\u2014churches and synagogues, for exmaple\u2014would not be required to perform or condone same sex marriage ceremonies. This would answer one common conservative criticism of marriage equality efforts.\nBut the even the Republican landscape has shifted significantly around this issue since President Bush called for a constitutional amendment defining marriage as between a man and a woman at the height of the 2004 presidential campaign. Former first lady Laura Bush and daughter Barbara Bush have announced their support for marriage equality, as did Bush's 2004 campaign manager Ken Mehlman, who also came out as gay. In recent months, even some previously dedicated activist opponents to marriage equality\u2014including Louis Marinelli, who organized the National Organization for Marriage's 2010 election year anti-gay-marriage tour\u2014have also had high-profile changes of heart.\nCandidates running for the 2012 GOP nomination will face the fact that their first caucus and primary states\u2014Iowa and New Hampshire\u2014are among the states that have already legalized same sex marriage. Most Tea Party leaders stayed noticeably quiet when Iowa's court decision was announced. And New Hampshire's open primary means that independent voters can participate in the decidedly libertarian-minded state, giving a potential edge to candidates that don't demagogue the issue. Moreover, a Pew poll found that even increasing numbers of evangelicals and Catholics support marriage equality, especially among younger people of faith.\nThe speed at which national opinion has shifted in favor of marriage equality in just the past few years is striking and unmistakable. Take a look at the generational trends and its clear that in a few decades, marriage equality might be seen as clear a moral issue as Loving v. Virginia is today.\nBut the down-to-the-wire battle right now is in New York. Polls show the people support marriage equality. Diverse coalitions from unions to business leaders have come together transcending typical partisan divisions. It is a time for choosing, and an opportunity for New York to lead legislatively in this civil rights fight.",

        "raw_content": "(Colonial Pipeline)\nColonial Pipeline Shuts Down Major Fuel Line Over Harvey\nA pipeline that provides gasoline to the southern United States was shut down Thursday, Aug. 31 amid concerns over Harvey\u2019s effect on its facilities in Louisiana.\nGeorgia-based Colonial Pipeline said in a statement that the pipeline will be shut off on Thursday. It had already shut down its other main line, which transports other types of fuel.\nRefinery outages triggered the pipeline shutdown.\nThe pipeline provides about 40 percent of the South\u2019s gasoline, connecting to Atlanta, Nashville, Charlotte, Greensboro, Raleigh-Durham, Dulles, and the Baltimore-Washington airports.\nHouses are seen submerged in flood waters caused by Tropical Storm Harvey in Northwest Houston, Texas, U.S. August 30, 2017. (REUTERS/Adrees Latif)\nAbout half of the company\u2019s 26 refineries that supply its pipeline are located between Houston and Lake Charles, Louisiana.\n\u201cOnce Colonial is able to ensure that its facilities are safe to operate and refiners in Lake Charles and points east have the ability to move product to Colonial, our system will resume operations,\u201d the operator said. It estimates being able to return to service from Houston on Sunday.\nParts of Colonial Pipeline were shut down for several days during Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005.\nVolunteer rescuers evacuate people from a flooded residential area during the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey on August 29, 2017 in Houston, Texas. (Brendan Smialowski/AFP/Getty Images)\nColonial, by volume, is the largest pipeline operator in the United States, delivering more than 100 million gallons of fuel and gas each day.\nSome experts said that the shutdown might spike gas prices.\nColonial, however, notes on its website that it is one part of the fuel delivery system. \u201cThere are multiple means of supplying the market to mitigate concerns with supply, including other pipelines, trucks, and barges.\u201d\nAccording to AAA, nationwide gas prices have climbed by about 3 percent in the last week to $2.40 for a gallon of regular.\nJosh Carrasco, a spokesman for AAA AutoClub Group, told NBC that gas prices for Labor Day will be the highest since 2014.\n\u201cAt this point, we\u2019re at a wait-and-see situation to see how much damage is done to those refineries in the Gulf Coast area,\u201d Carrasco said. \u201cAnd then we\u2019ll have more clarity down the road.\u201d\nHarvey made landfall in southern Texas as a Category 4 hurricane the night of Aug. 25 and dumped a huge amount of rain\u2014more than 50 inches in some parts\u2014triggering widespread flooding in Houston and other areas. Louisiana was also hit by the storm, albeit not as hard. Overall, 32,000 people have been sent to shelters, and over 30 people have been confirmed dead.",

        "raw_content": "Advocates for more diversity in the fashion industry will be pleased to see Balmain's latest campaign for Fall 2014, through which creative director Olivier Rousteing wanted to showcase \"the beauty of different ethnicities.\" Since the Spring 2014 season, when Bethann Hardison's Diversity Coalition called out top designers in New York, London, Milan and Paris for not using enough models of color on their runways, there seems to be a heightened awareness in the industry and greater commitment to representing more forms of beauty.\nAnd it seems Rousteing is one of the designers who heard the call. For this campaign, he cast Jourdan Dunn, Cara Delevingne, Binx Walton, Ysaunny Brito, Issa Lish and Kayla Scott \u2014 an extremely diverse group of models \u2014 to pose for Mario Sorrenti. The sextet is pictured lounging in the label's studded leather and animal-print offerings for the Fall 2014 season, styled by Katie Grand.\nAs a \"black boy in a really important French house,\" Rousteing felt it was important to take the lead and cast a campaign that featured more than one token minority model \u2014 and we're loving it. This is the picture of what fashion ads could look like if designers, modeling agencies and casting professionals actually made a commitment to showcasing diversity.\nAs if we needed any more proof that there is beauty in women of all ethnicities.\nWoolmark and Roland Mouret Team Up for Capsule CollectionLorna Jane\u2019s Social Media Stats Trump Australia\u2019s Top Retailers",

        "raw_content": "Edward Trecek\nEdward Trecek, 95, passed away to heaven Feb. 3, 2019, in Waukesha, Wis., near the home of his daughter, Evelyn Scharlau. He was born April 21, 1923, in Blue River, Wis. His parents came to the United States in 1911 with five children. They left Czechoslovakia because of religious persecution. Bibles were being burned in public fires, so his mother hid her Bible in a loaf of bread. While here, they had six more children, nine boys and two girls in all. His dad died in a house fire and two months later, Edward was born, so he was raised by his siblings and mother.\nIn his early twenties, he trusted Christ as his Savior. He married Barbara in 1945 and on April 15, 2018, they celebrated their 73rd wedding anniversary. Growing up, he worked on his family farm. While married, he started out working on a farm but later moved to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where his two sisters and mother lived. There he got a job at Link Belt where he was also trained as an engineer and later worked for Rockwell until he retired. He was always active in church, teaching, preaching and singing, and taught many home Bible studies. It was his life goal to live for the Lord and study His Word.\nEdward and Barbara had three daughters, Evelyn Scharlau (Richard) and fraternal twins, Sylvia Dudley (Daniel) and Susan Rogers (Steve). Susan had cystic fibrosis and died at age 31. He was always a good and loving father and husband.\nHe is survived by his wife, Barbara Trecek, who is 91 years old; and their two daughters, Evelyn and Sylvia; three grandsons; one granddaughter; and four great-grandchildren.\nHis siblings all preceded him in death.\nVisitation will be at Cesarz, Charapata and Zinnecker Funeral Home at 237 N. Moreland Blvd. Waukesha, Wis., at 10 a.m. on Feb. 9. Funeral services will follow immediately at the funeral home at 11 a.m.\nIn lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Peoria Rescue Mission, 310 SW Adams St., P.O. Box 837, Peoria, IL 61652-0837.",

        "raw_content": "What comes after the Washington consensus?\nThe Washington consensus served rich country interests, and is now history \u2013 so we must change the policies it advocated\n@jonathanglennie\nPirated versions of popular brand shoes at a street market in Beijing. Photograph: Michael Reynolds/EPA\nThe world of global development has seen the return of an important quality in people working on issues this complicated: humility. From the 1980s up to the early 2000s, hubris ruled. It was fairly common for people to be sure about the answer to growth and poverty reduction and to seek to impose it. But while there are still some true believers in the Washington consensus, the majority of development experts are now far more circumspect about making grand claims. (The economist Dambisa Moyo is an exception, regularly claiming that \"we know what works\". It sounds less arrogant than \"I know what works\" \u2013 see my critique here.)\nJoseph Stiglitz was one of earliest and most eloquent of the new breed of humble experts, proclaiming in 2004, \"If there is consensus today about what strategies are likely to help the development of the poorest countries, it is this: there is no consensus except that the Washington consensus did not provide the answer.\"\nIn 2004, the message had not yet filtered through to everybody. I was at a meeting of donors and aid recipients in Mozambique that year to discuss debt relief, and the discussion turned to the volatility of the financial markets. I suggested that countries should use capital controls where necessary to manage capital inflows effectively for development. Silence. It was as if I had suggested that the sun goes round the Earth.\nI should have known better. A year earlier in a question-and-answer session at the World Bank annual meetings, I had talked approvingly of state protection of certain industries to help them compete in a difficult international market. The reply from the panel (I think it was Nick Stern, then the World Bank's chief economist) was dismissive, something like, \"Oh god, you aren't still going on about the infant industry argument are you\".\nAnother time I asked a leading World Bank economist how he could explain why South Korea and other countries (including today's developed countries) that had protected their fledgling industries had done so well. I received the reply: \"They would have done even better if they hadn't protected them.\" I am not making this up.\nA number of people preferred to preserve their credibility rather than be the object of ridicule, so a sensible debate about how to regulate capital and promote key industries, among many other issues, was effectively off limits for two decades.\nThings have changed. The IMF has spoken approvingly of capital controls in some contexts, and even the current US president has weighed in on the side of infant industry protection \u2013 I wish he had been at that meeting in the World Bank to back me up!\nBut while the intellectual tide may be turning, that was only ever one part of it. The main issue has always been power. Because while the developing countries did not benefit from neoliberal ideology, the rich countries most certainly did. Measures such as the unimpeded flow of capital, the prohibition on protecting infant industries, and the current intellectual property rights regime, ensure the dominance of businesses based in the rich countries is maintained at the expense of other countries' businesses, which struggle to enter the market.\nThe Washington consensus promulgated the idea that policies which served rich country interests were also in the interests of poor countries, leading to the Doha negotiations being mis-described as a \"development\" round. That consensus is now history, but that doesn't mean that the countries that really benefit from the policies won't continue to push for them. The only difference is that they will no longer bother to pretend they are good for development.\nRecent articles on this blog drive home the urgency of this problem. Kevin Gallagher has a fascinating piece about the way vital innovation in green technology in China is under threat as the US complains to the WTO about the use of subsidies to support the growth of these \"infant\" industries. And Sarah Boseley highlights a new Oxfam report which argues that the strict enforcement of patents (ironically a key plank of the WTO-style free-trade agenda) is undermining the chances of the poorest to access decent medicines. Then there is the letter to the US government arguing that it shouldn't prohibit capital controls in its trade treaties (you'll find my signature somewhere near the bottom).\nThere has been so little discussion of these issues of late that you could be forgiven for thinking that these problems, so high profile a decade ago, have now been solved. They haven't. As a ministerial WTO summit is announced for the end of this year, developing countries will need all the support they can get if they are to emerge with a half-decent outcome.\nThe new Washington consensus - time to fight rising inequality\nThe year 2014 is when the fight against inequality went mainstream but talk is one thing, action another\nWashington consensus: IMF deals another blow?\nEconomic growth rebounds in poorer countries",

Photograph: Kevin Lamarque/Reuters\nUS senators, bent on punishing the Saudi crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, for the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, said on Thursday they want to vote next week to penalize Riyadh, but struggled to agree on how best to do so.\nDespite Donald Trump\u2019s desire to maintain close ties to Saudi Arabia, several of his fellow Republicans have joined Democrats in blaming the crown prince for Khashoggi\u2019s death and backing legislation to respond by ending US support for the Saudi-led war effort in Yemen, imposing new sanctions and stopping weapons sales.\nBut others strongly oppose linking the Yemen conflict with the killing of the journalist.\n\u201cIt would be a mistake to fracture that relationship with the Saudis. It\u2019s not based on friendship as much as it\u2019s based on common interests, combating extremism in the Middle East and countering the Iranian threat,\u201d said Senator John Cornyn, the chamber\u2019s No 2 Republican.\nFive Republican and Democratic senators met behind closed doors on Thursday morning to discuss how to move ahead, saying afterward they had not yet come up with a compromise that could win enough bipartisan support to pass the Senate.\nThe lack of agreement contrasted with some senators\u2019 harsh words on Tuesday against the crown prince, the de facto ruler of the kingdom who has denied knowledge of the operation that killed Khashoggi on 2 October in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.\nA briefing by the CIA director, Gina Haspel, for senators on Tuesday hardened their resolve to act against Prince Mohammed, who has the support of Trump.\nThree different measures are making their way through the Senate: a war powers resolution ending any US involvement in the Yemen conflict; legislation imposing a broad clampdown on Saudi Arabia, including ending arms sales and levying new sanctions; and a non-binding resolution targeting the crown prince.\nThe Senate is expected to vote on the war powers resolution next week, but lawmakers have not yet agreed on how, or whether, it should be amended. Some have questioned whether the resolution is even legal, and others said they want a response to Khashoggi\u2019s death but agree with the Trump administration that Washington should continue to back the Saudis as an essential counterweight to Iran.\nWho are the Houthis and why are they fighting the Saudi coalition in Yemen?\nSaudi Arabia is leading a campaign in Yemen against the Houthis, Shia Muslim fighters that Yemen\u2019s neighbors view as agents of Iran. The war has killed more than 10,000 people and created the world\u2019s most urgent humanitarian crisis.\nFourteen Republicans, who hold a slim majority in the Senate and rarely break from the president, have defied Trump and voted with Democrats in favor of moving ahead with the war powers resolution.\nBut to become law, the resolution would not just have to pass the Senate this month, but must also pass the House of Representatives and be signed by Trump, neither of which is expected this year. However, backers said Senate passage alone would still be an important step.\n\u201cA vote on the resolution is a very tough message to Saudi Arabia that the relationship is changing. And you can interpret that as a message on the Yemen war, but you can also interpret that as a message on Khashoggi,\u201d the Democratic senator Chris Murphy, a co-sponsor, told reporters.\nIt was not immediately clear whether the broader legislation would come up for a Senate vote before lawmakers go home for the year and a new Congress is seated in January, or whether some provisions might be added to the war powers measure.",

Running my fingers across the book spines, I ended up pulling out Alan Paton's \u201cCry, the Beloved Country.\u201d I had never read any South African literature and I figured this was a good place to start.\nThe novel is set in the South Africa of 1946, two years before the apartheid policy was implemented. Racial prejudices ran high with blacks and whites living in fear of each other. Young men, seeking better opportunities, were leaving their villages to work in the mines of Johannesburg. The story is about two fathers, Stephen Kumalo, a pious and benevolent black priest from a rural area, and James Jarvis, an influential white landowner from the same area. Kumalo travels to Johannesburg in search of his son Absalom who left the village for the city and had not been heard from since. He learns that his son has been charged with killing Jarvis\u2019 son, a social activist, who, ironically, was helping to improve the living conditions of the black community. Humility and forgiveness allow these two men, united by misfortune, to come to terms with their grief.\nThe plot is essentially a parable but there is a poetic quality to Paton\u2019s spare prose which I often found engaging and poignant. It is through the story of these two fathers that Paton gives voice to his feelings about South Africa and the problems it faces. Kumalo is a simple man, taking pride in his religious beliefs and the tribal customs of his people. What he experiences in Johannesburg turns his world upside down. He was disheartened not only by his son\u2019s tragedy but by the racial discrimination, the misery of his people living in the slums, and the wearing down of tribal customs. Jarvis is typical of the white African community passively accepting racial segregation as the status quo. Estranged from his father, Jarvis\u2019 son turns away from a life of comfort to advocate for the rights of the blacks. He believed that the practice of keeping the blacks subservient to the whites by denying them equal pay, education and housing perpetuated their poverty and was un-Christian. When Jarvis reads the paper his son was writing just before he died, the father begins to understand the son he never knew. He decides that the best way to honor his son would be to continue his work of improving the lot of the black community. He returns to the village and hires a white man to teach the villagers how to manage their land properly.\nPaton was a devout Christian and there are religious overtones to his writing, often not so subtle. But because Kumalo is such a sympathetic character, I became more forgiving of the book. The scenes I found most poignant were those that involved blacks and whites going against the racial sanctions to help each other simply out of the goodness of their hearts. The white man offering a black man a ride during a bus boycott, the black villager walking many miles to pick flowers for a funeral wreath to give to Mr. Jarvis, the white lawyer who volunteers to defend Kumalo\u2019s son pro deo. Paton worked among the Zulu people most of his life and I would like to think that these actions, or some semblance of it, really happened. It does a lot to restore my faith in human nature.\nFrom the first sentences of Chapter 1, Paton\u2019s love for his country is apparent:\n\u201cThere is a lovely road that runs from Ixopo into the hills. These hills are grass-covered and rolling, and they are lovely beyond any singing of it. The road climbs seven miles into them, to Carisbrooke; and from there, if there is no mist; you look down on one of the fairest valleys of Africa. About you there is grass and bracken and you may hear the forlorn crying of the titihoya, one of the birds of the veld.\u201d\nI loved those lines and it served to heighten the stark contrast of reading about the miserable living conditions in Johannesburg later on. It is a sad but ultimately uplifting story, one that ends in hope.\nThe book was published in 1948 a few months before the apartheid policy was made into law. With apartheid, races in South Africa were separated nationwide. People were compelled to relocate to places as defined by their race. It is interesting to note that South Africans of Filipino descents were classified as \"black.\" It took forty years before the international community placed sanctions on South Africa and apartheid was abolished. I can\u2019t help wondering whether this book, had it been published a few years earlier and given time to distill in the minds of South Africans, could have affected their history.\nI\u2019m glad to have read this book. It left me wanting to read and know more about South Africa. I will be looking for books by J.M. Coetzee and Nadine Gordimer (both Nobel Prize winners) and Andr\u00e9 Brink.\nTitle: Cry,the Beloved Country\nRating: \u00ea\u00ea\u00ea\u00ea\nAbout Veronica Mastrile:\nSorry, it took me a while to publish this, but I assure you it's worth the wait. The Page Walker welcomes one of the most beloved person in TFG...\nMs. Ronnie: Mostly fiction, be it classical, historical or realistic. I also like reading mystery novels. This would also pretty much describe my proverbial desert island book list (plus my Gary Larson Far Side comic books).\nMs. Ronnie: I read whatever I'm in the mood for. I'm a compulsive list maker so I do have one called My Ultimate List which I refer to when choosing my next book to read. Unfortunately, I have the attention span of a two-year old and am easily distracted by books my friends rave about so that list is often ignored. I guess I'm a meticulous, moody and undisciplined reader.\nTPW: Thank you for poring time on this, Ms. Ronnie. I hope you'll agree for another blog guesting. I love having you here!\nHmm, how about Doris Lessing? The Grass Is Singing is also set in South Africa.\nAnd yay! What a thoughtful review. I hope there will be more to come. :)\nLouize Gonzales June 23, 2014 at 10:29 PM\nI agree. Ms. Ronnie should write more often. :)\nHi, Louize! What a cool feature -- inviting your book club friends to make guest posts!\nI met Ms Ronnie last year at the ReaderCon, during the book club fair. I was only around in the afternoon, but I was still able to meet a few of the folks at TFG and got some of your giveaways as well.\nHere's to more guest posts on The Page Walker!\nI'm always so excited for this feature because I really love these people. \u2665",

        "title": "The Radical Party",
        "raw_content": "The Radical Party is a democratic, left of centre party. Its mission is to define and promote a new vision of a genuinely democratic, tolerant, egalitarian, socially just and outward-looking society and so create a coherent and realistic alternative to the neo-conservativism, which has dominated British politics for the last four decades. The poverty and inequality in Britain today do not result from the \u201claws of economics\u201d but from failure to reform a deeply flawed political system, which has side-lined the electorate and handed control to lobbyists, self-seeking party donors and billionaire newspaper proprietors.\nThe key issue is not that a few rich people have far more money than they need but that our laws permit them to avoid paying taxes which they ought to pay and to buy things that should not be up for sale: political influence, control of information, and privileged access to justice, education and jobs, which embed inequality and blight the lives of those who are less fortunate.\nThe Party rejects both short-sighted, self-serving neo-conservative capitalism and nostalgic of old-style socialism, which has kept the Conservatives in power for most of the last sixty years. It seeks to create an enduring basis for equality and prosperity through constitutional reform, evidence-based policy making, and the creation of a modern, dynamic, plural, social market economy of the kind which has proved an enduring success in other Northern European democracies.\nThe public want greater equality, good jobs, a strong NHS and excellent schools. But they also want security and understand that welfare demands sound public finance. We seek:\na new vision focused on ending poverty and building an ethical, cohesive, dynamic, productive and more equal society by enabling people from all walks of life to play an active role in decision-taking;\nopen and honest discussion of complex issues such as debt, migration, electoral reform, lobbying and donor funding, the long-term implications of Brexit, defence, climate change and energy security;\nevery-vote-counts elections; high governance standards in Parliament; and evidence-based policy, to take power back from vested interests and lobbyists, whose covert influence perverts our democracy;\nsustainable economic management, with equity between regions and generations and recognition that public provision funded through general taxation is the only fair way to achieve excellent public services;\na judicial and correctional system that is effective, egalitarian, evidence-based and humane;\neducation, health, science and welfare systems of the highest quality which meet the needs of all, especially the most vulnerable;\na future that involves the closest possible relationship with our partners in the EU, while working with like-minded member states to address legitimate public concerns;\nalongside international partners, a strong and commensurate response to climate change, defence and security threats.\nThese objectives can be achieved, but only through far-reaching changes to a system of government which serves the interests of the powerful at the expense of the public at large. All the great reforms: abolishing rotten boroughs and the slave trade; freedom of belief, and votes for women, were bitterly resisted and yet, when the public were mobilised, became irresistible. The time has come for a powerful new wave of reform to create a modern, responsive democracy and provide the basis for a society of social justice and opportunity for all.\nBritain, which in the 1970s was the second most equal large European country, has become sharply more divided until it is now the most unequal in Europe and the third most u nequal of 24 OECD industrialised nations. The gap between rich and poor and between the most and the least prosperous regions is the worst in Northern Europe. While the share of the nation\u2019s income taken by the very wealthy continues to rise, manufacturing declines; health, education and our system of justice are undermined; and young people are burdened by crippling debts.\nAs the welfare state is pared down, the United Nations reports that 14 million Britons, a third of them children, are now living in poverty, while vulnerable people turn to food banks to nourish their families in what, overall, is still the sixth richest country in the World.\nAdvanced market economies can be divided into two groups. The first, laissez-faire group, is epitomised by the United States and is characterised by minimal state involvement in welfare, low taxation and a highly unequal distribution of wealth and income. The second, social market, group includes northern European nations such as Germany and the Nordic countries, which combine a strong role for the state in welfare and greater equality in income and wealth.\nBoth models have proved successful in terms of growth; but in different ways. The US model has encouraged extraordinary advances in technology and innovation which (with a huge, integrated home market) have delivered average incomes among the highest in the World. But it has failed to deliver welfare standards which are taken for granted in northern Europe, with poverty alongside enormous wealth, poor school outcomes and a profit-oriented health system, which fails a significant proportion of the population.\nAs OECD surveys have repeatedly shown, the social market countries consistently top international rankings in terms of happiness, outperforming the United States by a wide margin. Poverty causes unhappiness but wealth above a modest level has diminishing effect, while personal safety, secure employment, good health care and the prospect of well-being in old age are essential to happiness at all income levels.\nBritain Abandons the Social Market\nWhen Labour came to power with an overwhelming majority in 1945, Britain adopted elements of the northern European social market economy model and a consensus developed around full employment, decent housing for all and an NHS which provided proper health irrespective of income as a matter of right. But the UK\u2019s home grown model differed in important respects from the social markets being created in Scandinavia, the Netherlands and Germany.\nFirst, Labour\u2019s Programme involved nationalising a large number of strategically important companies, which had previously been in private hands; second, like France and Italy, it retained a conflict-based model of industrial relations rather than building a law-based partnership approach of the kind adopted in other parts of northern Europe; and, third, (apart from the NHS) the welfare system provided by the state was relatively ungenerous compared with the systems created in Germany, the Netherlands and Scandinavia.\nHandicapped by a highly regulated economy, industrial conflict and a small home market, Britain was soon slipping behind the countries of the European Economic Community. After unsuccessful bids in 1963 and 1967, it joined the EEC in 1973. But efforts to re-mould labour relations led to the defeat of Labour in 1970, the Conservatives in 1974 and Labour again at the end of the decade.\nThe failure of the Labour Government after the war to create a fully developed social market economy, with proper state pensions and maternity benefits and strong employment laws opened the door to Mrs Thatcher in 1979. She brought with her a ready-made alternative model of society developed by neo-conservatives in the United States based on privatisation, cuts in tax and welfare and abandoning the aim of secure, well-paid employment for all.\nThe Labour Party initially defended the post-war model but, after losing three successive elections under leaders who were seen as dominated by left-wing trade unions and weak on defence, ended up, to escape the political wilderness, selecting Tony Blair, who adopted much of Mrs Thatcher\u2019s neo-conservative philosophy. While successful in electoral terms under his leadership, this undermined Labour\u2019s claim to a morality based on social justice and deprived the country of any clear alternative vision of society.\nThe neo-Conservative illusion\nThis new consensus was justified by two contentions: first, that reducing the role of the state was essential for faster growth; and, second, that cutting taxes on the wealthy would benefit poor people through the so-called trickle-down effect. But in fact, neither of these claims has been borne out by experience. The European social market economy model has actually proved very successful at promoting long-term growth, while avoiding gross inequality. Average incomes in countries such as Denmark, Finland and Germany are among the highest anywhere. The trickle-down effect has also proved an illusion, with the US and the UK experiencing the worst inequality in the developed world.\nWealth follows power and, with an electoral system that side-lined most of the population, politicians persuaded themselves that it was in the national interest to manage affairs in ways that benefited party funders and key groups of voters. This ultimately led to the referendum campaign of June 2016 and the threat of Britain abandoning the Single Market and, with it, the legal underpinning of much of the social progress achieved over the previous forty years.\nAn Experiment that Failed\nInternational experience shows that gross inequality in the UK is not an inevitable consequence of globalisation or technological change, but of conscious political decisions and of our fossilised first-past-the-post political system. Once the Mother of Parliaments, Britain today is in urgent need of democratic renewal with low turnout, governments regularly returned against the wishes of a majority and widespread contempt for politicians and the political process.\nWithout any coherent alternative long-term vision, successive Labour, Coalition and Conservative Governments turned Britain into a laboratory for a menagerie of right-wing pet causes (private prisons, academies, foundation hospitals, debt-based tuition fees, police commissioners and executive mayors) inspired by think tanks linked to the US Republican Party, which have generally made matters not better but much worse.\nThe Thatcherite consensus became a political straight jacket, impervious to the evidence of bulging prisons, mounting household debt and growing numbers of homeless people on the streets. After three decades, research suggests that while the agenda did encourage labour market flexibility and attract foreign investment, on balance, comparing Britain with Germany, Canada and Scandinavia, it is clear that the experiment as a whole has failed disastrously to deliver what was promised.\nThe rich have got dramatically richer but the quid pro quo, that wealth would trickle down to the less well-off, has simply not happened. The need for a welfare system safety net is greater than ever. Growth has been slower, not faster, since Mrs Thatcher came to power than before. And tireless efforts to transfer control of publicly funded schools from local authorities and parents to private sector and religious organisations have left the UK second to bottom of the OECD countries in terms of key educational indicators.\nThe marketisation of health provision in England has fed an army of private contractors but has left the Health Service performing no better in England than in Scotland, where care has continued to be delivered free from the burden of obligatory tendering. For a nation which built the NHS, the BBC, a vibrant manufacturing sector and the best university system in the World to put health care up for auction, prevent local authorities from providing social housing and education and leave the nation dependent on a Chinese state company to keep the lights on has nothing to do with good economics \u2013 it is folly.\nEmbedding Poverty and Disadvantage\nForty years ago, Mrs Thatcher, backed by half a dozen newspaper proprietors, launched a crusade to roll back the State and create a Britain where, in her words, there was \u201cno such thing as society\u201d and \u201conly the failures travel by bus\u201d. She set about dismantling the welfare state through bacon-slicer changes, making private profit-seeking the engine of social change and replacing elected representatives by contractors and appointees.\nThese changes mainly hit the 35% of the population who don\u2019t vote. Though widely unpopular, no single one was so large as to provoke concerted opposition from the 65% who did, but together, step by step, they profoundly altered British society. Taken up by \u201cNew Labour\u201d after 1990 and carried forward with the support of Liberal Democrat ministers through the Coalition\u2019s austerity policy, and through Labour\u2019s support for abandoning the jurisdiction of the European Court, Mrs Thatcher\u2019s counter revolution marches on, while the electorate is offered no credible alternative to a mean and divided future.\nEchoing Lenin, Mrs Thatcher said: \u201cThere is no alternative\u201d, but looking at experience around the world, it is clear that there is nothing inevitable about wasteful extravagance alongside food banks and debt and a prison system full of young people who cannot read or write. Talent and effort and risk-taking are crucial to our prosperity and should be rewarded, but differences in wealth must not determine political influence or access to health, education and justice.\nIf we are to create a society which is both economically successful and socially inclusive, we must break free from the dogmas of the 1980s, left and right, and build a new model which combines real democracy with sound economic management, equality of opportunity and a strong welfare state. As the Institute of Fiscal Studies demonstrated, both the Conservative and the Labour 2017 manifesto promises were dishonest. It is simply not possible to fund tax cuts by cutting public services without causing great hardship. At the same time, large increases in spending on the NHS, schools, nursery education and free university tuition cannot be paid for just by taxing the very wealthy and increasing debt.\nThe Radical Party, therefore, makes democracy the key to creating a fairer society. It campaigns for a fresh model based not on unconstrained capitalism nor on back-to-the-future Marxism, but on a modern vision of the social market, which has proved so successful in other northern democracies.\nThe mission to build a just, prosperous, cohesive and outward-looking Britain by giving real power back to the electorate, involves many elements. We aim, by reforming our devalued political system, to restore democratic choice to the central role in creating an enduring basis for social justice and prosperity. This objective, which we share with millions of fellow citizens, can be achieved, but only by establishing a clear vision of the kind of society that we aim to build and through far-reaching revision of a system of government which has been hijacked to serve the interests of a tiny minority.\nThe objectives that follow are pointers to the direction of travel to be developed and strengthened through consultation and debate. Objectives One and Two propose an agenda for empowering the electorate. And Objectives Three to Twelve set out our priorities for turning the tide and creating an efficient, plural economy and a humane, inclusive and egalitarian society in the framework of a modern, outward-looking, social market vision of society.\nTHE RADICAL PARTY PROPOSES a fresh social market vision and far reaching constitutional and political reform to build an outward-looking society of equality, prosperity, social justice and individual empowerment.\nThe Party builds on the work of generations of British Radicals, who have challenged privilege and oppression and campaigned successfully for universal suffrage and far-reaching constitutional reform, building the foundations for democracy, greater equality, individual liberty and freedom of expression and belief.\nUnder governments of all three main political parties, Britain has become steadily more divided, until it is now the third most unequal of the 24 OECD industrialised nations.\nWith a Government elected with the support of 29% of the electorate and 42% of those who voted, no real relationship between votes cast and the number of seats won and a confused and divided opposition, Britain today is a disgrace to the name of democracy.\nLooking around the World, it is clear that there is nothing inevitable about grotesque extravagance alongside food banks and debt and a prison system full of young people who cannot read or write.\nA society where freedom is combined with social justice and prosperity for all cannot be achieved by tinkering with the tax and welfare system. It will only be brought about by transferring power back to the electorate and by guaranteeing their involvement in determining their future.\nThe Radical Party strives to achieve democracy that is worthy of the name; fair and efficient use of resources; excellent public services; justice that is open to all, a dynamic; an efficient and sustainable economy; solidarity with those in need; and security and prosperity based on strong engagement with our partners in the Europe, the Commonwealth, NATO and the UN.\nWe campaign for a fair distribution of wealth and power; for a dynamic, plural market economy offering full employment and the resources to support those in need; and a modern, open society based on vibrant, participatory democracy.\nCivil rights and equal opportunities must be respected; young people must have a real voice; and consenting adults the right to live their lives free from vigilantism and unjustified interference. We demand strong and effective measures to tackle climate change and protect the environment for this and future generations.",

        "raw_content": "Why \u201cFight Club\u201d is a conservative classic, not anti-capitalist propaganda\nFor a movie to come to be considered a \"classic\" is no mean feat, and I will argue that David Fincher's Fight Club (1999) is one such film.\nEvery classic film's themes are relatable and timeless. Lesser movies are ridiculous period pieces that never hold up because. people are sure to look back at The Last Jedi, for example, and say, \"Third wave feminism and patriarchy were a thing? Boring!\"\nFight Club warns of the danger of trying to control human nature.\nAnd, no, the movie is not \"anti capitalism,\" as some have argued.\nI love this movie! Easily one of my favourites to watch, the cinematography, the camerawork, the context the metaphors, the fight scenes, the ending\u2026.\nIf you take it literally, you won\u2019t like it. I suggest watching it again after you discover the Narrator and Tyler are one in the same and bear in mind that Fight Club isn\u2019t actually about fighting.\npeder sluys commented 2018-01-10 03:15:12 -0500\nthis movie is close to 20 years old. who cares? seemed to be a show that fosters the antifa spirit.\nWhen Fight Club was released, I saw the preview and thought to myself, this one is a DVD rental.

Not even Brad Pitt\u2019s sculpted physique and good looks could change my mind.\nI saw \u201cFight Club\u201d when it came out. It was fun, but weird. The thing I most remember about it is, I didn\u2019t really get it\u2026but then at the time I was emerging from my urban-liberal cocoon and becoming a rural conservative\u2026and later Christian.\nOf course, I liked \u201cIn The Valley of Elah\u201d, being a Tommy Lee Jones fan (Elmer Kelton\u2019s, \u201cThe Good Ol Boys\u201d, \u201cNo Country For Old Men\u201d, \u201cThe Missing\u201d,etc.) I saw Jones\u2019 character Hank as sympathetic to the military, lost and foundering maybe, but still polishing his shoes and marching along\u2026and heartbroken. That bit at the end with the flag tears me up every time I watch it. I didn\u2019t see the movie as a strike against American exceptionalism or the military\u2026then.\n- I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve seen this movie from beginning to end. I\u2019ve probably seen most of it in parts at various times. I\u2019ll have to give it a watch some time from start to finish.\nSPACE MOOSE commented, \u201cMy only take away from fight club, is that people are stupid, and you can\u2019t change that.\u201d You didn\u2019t say \u2018some people are stupid\u2019 but \u2018people are stupid\u2019, so that must include you as well.\nMy only take away from fight club, is that people are stupid, and you can\u2019t change that.",

        "raw_content": "Top 15 Absolute Worst Contracts In Baseball Today\nWealthy, long-term contracts are initially marketed triumphantly by the franchise\u2019s front office and eagerly celebrated by its fan base, each believing the newly-signed superstar will create a winning atmosphere for years \u2026 and years \u2026 and years \u2026\nHowever, those same rich deals usually become downplayed by the team\u2019s PR staff and lamented by the fans when the one-time star inevitably displays diminished bat speed, defensive range, and arm strength.\nBig contracts often are negotiated by players looking to be paid for past performances, aging All-Stars who are beyond their athletic peak, but still remain among the game\u2019s most attractive attractions.\nMammoth deals prove to produce short honeymoons.\nEight of this season\u2019s 17 richest MLB contracts can, at best, be considered financially irresponsible, at worse, a constant albatross to constructing a balanced roster.\nThe surprising aspect of the following listing is it does not include Alex Rodriguez or Prince Fielder, two top-five candidates, for sure. But they both retired the past few weeks so they had to be cut. Sure was difficult cutting A-Rod, though, considering he was paid $3 million for being a suspended player in 2014 and GM Brian Cashman once said: \u201cAlex should just shut the f%#! up.\u201d\nOther honourable mentions include Seattle Mariners second baseman Robinson Can\u00f3 (10 years, $240 million), Yankees outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury (seven years, $153 million), and Cardinals pitcher Mike Leake (five years, $80 million).\nThe dual $28 million deals to Detroit Tigers\u2019 Miguel Cabrera and Justin Verlander get a pass because both are still producing star-like statistics. So, too, does Boston Rex Sox pitcher Rick Porcello. In the first season of a four-year, $82.5 million deal, Porcello has elevated his back-end rotation status to an AL Cy Young candidate.\nThe ultimate bad deal? How about the New York Mets being on the hook to pay Bobby Bonilla annual payments of $1.19 million until 2035.\nHere are the Top 15 Worst Contracts in Baseball for 2016:\n15 Melvin Upton Jr.\nLeading off, the elder Upton.\nIt seems the more he changes his name, the fewer extra base hits he produces. Is B.J., oops, I mean Melvin Upton Jr., trying to hide from his lack of big-money production?\nIn 2012, Upton clubbed a career-high 28 home runs. And during the 3.66 seasons since? He entered the week with 45 homers with three teams. Covering his first 23 appearances since being acquired by the Toronto Blue Jays, Upton had yet to connect on a double or triple.\nFor that, Upton is owned approximately $15 million this season and $16 million for 2017.\nAfter his big 2012 campaign, Upton darted Tampa Bay for the big-money (five years, $72.25 million) the Atlanta Braves offered. He hit .184 the first season under the deal; .208 the next.\nHe\u2019s certainly not the first, but Upton is following a prominent pattern. Numerous players are failing to play up to their contacts. Eventually \u2013 inevitably - the players can\u2019t hide from their unworthy paychecks.\nNo matter how many times the player changes his name.\nBatting second, lil\u2019 Upton.\nJust like big brother, Justin Upton is struggling to live up to a big contract.\nThe younger Upton signed a six-year, $132.75 million deal with the Detroit Tigers last offseason to add power behind Miguel Cabrera and Victor Martinez.\nFrom Opening Day, the timing of his swing and mental approach to batting were, to say the least, off. Six weeks into the season, pitchers didn\u2019t need to \u201cpitch\u201d to Upton. The scouting report read: Throw a fastball down the middle for strike one. Then, throw a fastball at the outer half to induce a foul tip, strike two. Finally, put him away with a slider down and away, strike three. It sure looked easy.\nThe Tigers dished out the contract last winter to fill a void in left field its barren farm system could not produce. Last week, Upton was given a \u201cmental health break\u201d and did not start for three games. At the time he was suffering through a 0-for-12 slump and had struck out 139 times, fourth most in all of baseball.\nUpton returned to the starting lineup last Sunday and slugged two three-run home runs. Could he play himself off this list by season\u2019s end?\nHe will need to for the Tigers to crawl back into playoff contention.\n13 Ryan Zimmerman\nRyan Zimmerman was the franchise\u2019s initial marketing chip following its move from Montreal. He has proven to be a solid player, if not an unproven cheater, but do you think the Nationals\u2019 brass believes the six-year, $100 million extension he signed during February 2012 was a bit ambitious? Like two or three years ambitious?\nZimmerman will earn $14 million during 2016 and the next two seasons, before ballooning to $18 million for 2019. The club owns the 2020 option for $18 million.\nZimmerman has devolved the past three seasons from a power-hitting third baseman to rehabilitating first baseman following a series of throwing deficiencies and injuries.\nAfter averaging 22 home runs his first eight full MLB seasons, Zimmerman has connected on just 34 the past three injury-plagued seasons combined.\nThe good news? At least Zimmerman last Friday was \u201ccleared\u201d by the commissioner\u2019s office of the investigation surrounding a recent Al Jazeera report linking him to a PED ring.\nLet\u2019s see what $25 million gets the Yankees? An aging, undependable fifth starter, it appears. Just think, a few years ago, $25 million covered the top-three of a top-tier rotation. Now, its pays for one past-his-prime left-hander.\nA millennial star, CC Sabathia signed an eight-year, $186 million deal with the Yankees, after acquiring the 2007 AL Cy Young Award winner from the Milwaukee Brewers.\nAided by Sabathia earning the ALCS MVP and posting a 19-8 regular-season record, the Yankees claimed the 2009 World Series. Sabathia remained an All-Star from 2010 through 2012, but since has struggled to remain healthy and in the rotation.\nThe past three seasons, Sabathia has gone 16-24. He carried a 6.94 August ERA into Tuesday\u2019s start at the Seattle Mariners. That\u2019s what the Yankees are getting for $25 million.\nLook for the front office to execute the $5 million buyout this offseason.\n11 Shin-Soo Choo\nJim Cowsert-USA TODAY Sports\nThe accounting for Shin-Soo Choo\u2019s season can be summed up in the number of times he spent on the disabled list this season: four. In terms of his 2016 salary, that\u2019s $5 million per DL trip.\nThe latest venture was initiated when Choo was hit by a pitch and was scheduled to undergo season-ending surgery. The other injuries included a strained right calf, a left hamstring strain, and a lower back inflammation.\nSince joining the Rangers in 2014, Choo initially struggled with a career-low .242 batting average and now a season in which he produced seven home runs and 17 RBIs.\nWith $82 million owned to Choo over the next four seasons, this deal can be compared to a stereotypical Trump supporter, full of excuses and without substance.\n10 Jason Heyward\nHe was 26-years-old and on the free-agent market. Defensively, few are better. Offensively, his power numbers were down, but he still consistently got on base.\nJason Heyward was ready to take the world to the bank and was soon ushered by the Chicago Cubs agreeing to an eight-year, $184 million contract.\nNow 27, the three-time Gold Glove outfielder is only two-thirds through the first season of the deal and already is losing playing time to youngsters like Jorge Soler and Matt Szczur.\nWhere will Heyward be when he\u2019s 34 and nearing the end of the contract? In Kodak, Tenn., with the AA Tennessee Smokies?\nThrough 409 at-bats with the Cubs, Heyward had produced a .225 batting average, five home runs, and 32 RBIs.\nMuch like the Detroit Tigers did with Justin Upton, Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon gave the struggling Heyward the weekend off while in Colorado to \u201cchill out a bit.\u201d\nWell, Denver certainly was a cool place to do that.\n9 Matt Kemp\nBig-market franchises are just lining up to pay Matt Kemp\u2019s baggage.\nWhere\u2019s the line in front of me?\nFirst came the Dodgers\u2019 decision in 2012 to agree on an eight-year, $160 million contract. Then, two unfulfilling seasons later, the Dodgers agreed to unload Kemp during December 2014 and pay the Padres $32 million of the $107 million left on the deal.\nThe Padres took on the biggest contract in team history, believing they were receiving something similar to the 2011 version that slugged 39 home runs and placed second in NL MVP voting. But what did they receive? After undergoing shoulder and ankle surgeries, a post-trade physical revealed Kemp had arthritis in both hips.\nFor $21.5 million in 2016 and signed through 2019, Kemp was traded to the Atlanta Braves at the deadline. To finalize the deal, however, the Padres had to include financial considerations. The deal addendum was necessary for the Braves to add Kemp and his recent pedestrian production.\nAs solid as Carl Crawford appeared at the start of his career, it\u2019s not difficult to determine what happened the past several seasons, apart from signing for big bucks?\nThe hunger, the drive. Deposited.\nWhen Crawford signed his seven-year, $142 million contract, Crawford was projected as a perennial All-Star who would continue to provide gap power and steal 50 bases per season.\nHe was young. He was talented. He just didn\u2019t continue to develop.\nSince he signed the deal, which pays him $20.75 million this season, Crawford emerged from spring training as a bench player. In his first 87 at-bats this season, Crawford is hitting .185 with no homers and six RBIs.\nSince the start of 2011, Crawford had 32 total homers and this season was caught during his lone stolen base attempt.\nNext season is the final year of Crawford\u2019s contract, certainly one of the worst scouted in major league history.\n7 Zack Greinke\nOff the mound he walked, his head down. After recording just five outs, Greinke on August 14 yielded nine earned runs off 10 hits to the Boston Red Sox.\nAt $31.8 million, Greinke is scheduled to make the second-highest salary this season, the first of a six-year, $206.5 million deal.\nLast season, Greinke registered a major leagues-best 1.66 ERA in 32 contract-year starts with the Los Angeles Dodgers.\nBut with ex-Dodgers teammate Clayton Kershaw drawling the game\u2019s highest paycheck, Greinke found his green pasture in Arizona. But he left his recent success in Tinsel Town, where he combined to win 51 of 66 decisions from 2013-15. During his opening 18 starts with the Diamondbacks, Greinke allowed 56 earned runs, more than he surrendered in 2013 and 2015.\nGreinke entered Thursday with a 4.30 ERA, nearly a full run greater than his career total (3.40).\nBased on salary, here's your ace for five more years, Diamondbacks fans.\nHis gap power has gone AWOL. The power stroke Joe Mauer displayed at the start of his eight-year, 184 million deal, is now virtually nonexistent.\nWhen he signed in 2011, Mauer was awarded the largest deal ever for a catcher. Essentially, he stopped catching in 2013.\nAt about the same time, Mauer\u2019s power fell flat as injuries mounted. As a first baseman/DH, Mauer is coming up short. He slammed 28 home runs during 2009, setting up the big payday, but over the last seven seasons, his annual homer average is eight.\nThe first player selected in the 2001 draft, Mauer was named the 2009 AL MVP and captured the 2006 AL batting title. For that service, Mauer is scheduled to be paid a combined $46 million, on a team that this season will be challenged to win 60 games.\nCool ballpark, at least.\n5 Ryan Howard\nWhat was the worry? Why the rush? Sure, the Philadelphia Phillies wanted to secure a hard-hitting, fan-favourite for the long-term, but history says the team rushed to the bargaining table.\nThen 30-year-old and delivering power to the historically exasperated Philly fans, Howard was under team control for two more seasons, but the Phillies wanted more.\nThe slugger swung from his heels at the opportunity to ink the five-year, $125 million extension.\nSince 2012, Howard has averaged 18 homers per season. From 2005-11, he nearly averaged 41. Over the past five seasons, Howard entered Thursday with 610 strike outs and just 420 hits.\nNeedless to say, the Phillies will not be exercising its $23 million club option for 2017, instead initiating a $10 million buyout.\nLike Zimmerman, at least he was cleared from the PED investigation surrounding the Al Jazeera report on his connections to a doping ring.\n4 David Price\nNew Boston Red Sox President of Baseball Operations Dave Dombrowski last offseason peered into the vast payroll vault the Boston Red Sox offered and jumped at the new front-office opportunity.\n\u201cI can spend how much?\u201d\nIt didn\u2019t take Dombrowski long to seize on the opportunity, negotiating a seven-year, $217 million contract with pitcher David Price.\nThe left-hander jumped at signing the largest deal ever signed by a major leaguer.\nAnd he only is expected to work every fifth day.\nOne wonders: How does this deal make sense long-term? How can Price live up to such a deal?\nJust examine how Yankees pitcher CC Sabathia is being handled at the end of his mega-deal. Have you read the recent stories or listened to the \u201ctalking teeth\u201d on cable\u2019s sports shows?\nTo at least compare to Sabathia's first two seasons in New York, Price will have to win more than 40 games and deliver a World Series title. Good luck, David.\n3 Pablo Sandoval\nAre we looking at the top free-agent bust of all-time?\nFor playing himself into a bench player, Pablo Sandoval will get paid $95 million over the life of his five-year deal with the Boston Red Sox.\nAfter signing the deal, Sandoval\u2019s World Series success evaporated, floated away in the outfield midst of a damp morning at Fenway.\nHe stopped hitting. He stopped fielding. Didn\u2019t stop eating, though.\nDuring an early season at-bat, Sandoval executed a big, looping swing, snapping his belt buckle. Sure would have cool to be a Boston columnist that day.\nThis is the October wonderkind who led the San Francisco Giants to three Series titles?\n2 Josh Hamilton\nHere is a story of redemption. A story of betrayal.\nA story not yet fully written. Or has it?\nThe Rangers on August 23, placed Josh Hamilton on unconditional release waivers and after three knee surgeries since last September, the door remains open for Hamilton to return and compete for a job next spring training.\nThe weaving journey the 1999 first overall pick has taken has been well documented. The promise. The drugs. The redemption. The five All-Star Game appearances. The 2010 AL MVP. The big deals. The deceptions. The knee.\nNext year will be the final season of the five-year, $125 contract Hamilton signed with the Angels. It was not a good marriage. Hamilton admitted to drug relapses and was traded back to the Rangers. The Angels were so eager to rid themselves of Hamilton, they agreed to pay all but $2 million of the $48 million in salary obligations.\nHamilton last appeared in 2015, suiting up 50 games and clubbing eight home runs.\nIs Hamilton\u2019s baseball story ending? Stay tuned.\nIn 2012, Albert Pujols abandoned the St. Louis Cardinals for a 10-year, $240 million deal with the Los Angeles of Anaheim.\nInstead of electing to become a Cardinal icon, the future Hall of Famer chose to play out his declining years with a deal that will cripple the franchise for a generation.\nUntil clubbing 40 home runs last season, Pujols had suffered subpar power seasons since leaving St. Louis prior to the 2012 campaign. During his 11-year stint with the Cardinals, Pujols annually averaged 40 homers. In Los Angeles, he is averaging 27.\nThe nine-time All-Star\u2019s marketing value will increase over the next few seasons as he chases career marks and his presence in the locker room is immeasurable, yet the deal will not end until 2021, when Pujols will be 41.\nThe Angels have the best player in baseball, Mike Trout, and former best player in baseball, Pujols.",

        "raw_content": "Green voters approve school safety levy\nBy Theresa CottomAkron Beacon JournalGateHouse Media Ohio\nThe levy will generate $777,653 per year and cost the owner of a $100,000 home $35 a year.\nVoters in Tuesday's special election turned out in support of safety and security improvements for Summit County-based Green Local Schools, but dealt another setback to efforts to pass an operating levy for Portage County\u2019s Waterloo Local School District.\nWith all precincts reporting, voters in the Green District passed a five-year additional safety and security levy for 1 mill, with 1,776 voting in favor and 1,105 against. The levy will generate $777,653 per year and cost the owner of a $100,000 home $35 a year.\nThe district, which overlaps into Stark County, had been eligible to participate in a similar levy effort spearheaded by the broader Stark Educational Service Center (ESC).\nThat 1.49-mill permanent levy appeared on track to fail Tuesday. It would have generated about $226 for each of the 44,000 students in the participating districts, or $9.75 million annually. Participating districts would have received the money based on their enrollment.\nGreen Superintendent Jeff Miller said the district opted out of the Stark ESC levy and pursued its own instead because of the difference in resources between the two counties.\n\u201cWe\u2019re excited that the community spoke, and now we\u2019re going to be working hard to make sure [the upgrades] are in place for the start of the school year,\u201d Miller said. \u201cWe just really appreciate the support ... This is a great day for our kids and certainly for making our schools safer.\u201d\nThe Green levy will cover the cost of four additional school resource officers, two family support specialists, an elementary mental health professional and upgrades to safety and security infrastructure, which include lockdown kits in every classroom, alarms, sensors and cameras.\nMiller said he anticipates having all the personnel in place by the beginning of the school year Aug. 22, along with some upgrades that will be visible on opening day. Upgrades will also continue throughout the year, Miller said.\nVoters will have the option to renew the levy every five years.\nIn Portage County, Waterloo Local Schools\u2019 additional 9.75-mill levy for current operating expenses failed 1,317-595.\nIf passed, the levy would have generated about $1.6 million a year for the district.\nThe district has been attempting to pass levies for additional money with no success since 2016.\nWaterloo narrowly passed a renewal levy in May for 5.9 mills.",

        "raw_content": "Posted on October 11, 2018 by Mehedi Hassan in Android, Hardware with 3 Comments\nRazer took the wraps off its second-generation flagship gaming phone, the Razer Phone 2, last night. The company\u2019s flagship phone aimed at gamers is getting some major upgrades on the inside to offer an even better mobile gaming experience for its customers.\nDesign wise, the Razer Phone 2 looks much like the original Razer Phone. The company is, however, introducing a new logo on the back of the device that supports its Chroma lighting system and lights up, glowing in up to 16.8 million colors. You can choose to have the logo light up when you get app notifications or have it display different effects.\nRazer says the new phone offers up to 30% improvement in performance, powered by the Snapdragon 845 and Adreno 630 GPU. The company is using the Razer vapor chamber cooling system to keep the internals cool under heavy load.\nThe device still comes with the fantastic 5.7-inch UltraMotion IGZO display, and it continues to be the only phone in the industry to sport a display with a refresh rate of 120Hz. The company says it has upgraded the front-facing speakers on the device to be even louder and clearer, as well as support for Dolby Atmos. It still packs the same 4,000mAh battery but it\u2019s been optimized to last up to 10 hours at the 120Hz, as compared to the previous 10-hour battery life at 90Hz refresh rate.\nRazer says the company has improved the cameras on the device, with as 12MP wide-angle lens and an additional 12MP telephoto lens with 2x zoom on the back. The company has tweaked the UI of the camera app to work better for one-hand usage, too.\nTwo other much-needed additions to the Razer Phone 2 include IP67 water resistance and wireless charging support thanks to the new glass back.\nRazer\u2019s new phone seems like a pretty decent upgrade from last year\u2019s Razer Phone. The device is $100 more expensive than last year\u2019s Razer Phone, though. It will be available for $799 in Mirror Black and Satin Black variants in the United States, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Pre-orders are available now.\nTagged with Razer Phone",

Space is always a major challenge, and there\u2019s plenty here, so it\u2019s a perfect match.\u201d\nWalter\u2019s concept is being implemented in phases, the first being the studio set-up, which is being done now.\n\u201cThe ultimate goal is to couple existing interior space with new, purpose-built stages \u2014 like we did with the Rodman gym, which had been destroyed by vandals long ago,\u201d he said. \u201cWe created a whole new gym, and when it\u2019s done, Lennar Mare Island will (look for ways) for local youth to make use of it.\u201d\nThere\u2019s also an old, abandoned theater, there with similar potential, he said.\nWith minor, easily accomplished tweaks, many local buildings and spaces can be made to look like whatever the client wants, Walter said.\n\u201cThe possibilities are really endless,\u201d he said. \u201cYou can check off, really, all the boxes with Mare Island and Vallejo.\u201d\nThese are his main selling points to film location scouts, he said.\nThere\u2019s one element that could use expanding, and Walter says he has a plan for that, too.\n\u201cWe need an expanded crew base in the whole Bay Area,\u201d he said. \u201cA lot of kids hoping to do this work have to move to L.A. or New York. We want to bring that back, so, we\u2019re trying to create a three-tiered program to keep local talent local.\u201d\nThe idea is to have students interested in film production, in the summer between their junior and senior years, work as unpaid interns, and then, once they\u2019re in college, sign up with an employment agency as part of a roster of local, trained film production technicians for paid work.\n\u201cTheir work here will help them build up a resume of experience,\u201d Walter said.\nA Marin County resident who said he\u2019s looking for Vallejo digs, Walter said he sees Film Mare Island and Cinelease as a potential game-changer for Vallejo and its residents. He said he sees the possibility of creating a film industry cluster here.\n\u201cI imagine a Universal Studios-type of thing some day, with a retail component,\u201d he said.\nDoug Williams, a second-generation film industry construction coordinator and Bay Area resident working with Cinelease and Film Mare Island, said he sees merit in Walter\u2019s plan.\n\u201cThis is a great place to be; with great spaces and great buildings,\u201d he said. \u201cWe just started moving in to our expanded space and it\u2019s exciting.\u201d\nThe film industry is a revenue generator, he said, adding that one client, Paramount TV, paid $1.4 million for labor alone last year and expects to spend about $1.2 million this year, for labor, alone.\nWalter said the company tries to use local firms for labor and materials.\nFilm Mare Island has some 20 permanent, full-time employees, most of them local, but, when a project is in production, there can up to 500 working, the men said.\nRyan McLeod, a Fairfield native and the operation\u2019s rental agent, said he was able to move back to the Bay Area when Film Mare Island came to town.\n\u201cI think it\u2019s great,\u201d he said. \u201cWhen they called with this opportunity, I hopped on it immediately.\u201d\nWalter said he has every intention of \u201cmaking this crazy idea work.\u201d\nHe said he hopes Film Mare Island will soon become the rising tide that lifts all local boats.\n\u201cI may be an old softie, but, I feel so good about this,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s about giving the locals an opportunity here, so they don\u2019t have to go to L.A., and, we\u2019re doing it here, in Vallejo.\u201d",

        "title": "The Origin of Language and Communication",
        "raw_content": "\u00a9 2003 Brad Harrub, Ph.D., Bert Thompson, Ph.D., and Dave Miller, Ph.D.\nBy age four, most humans have developed an ability to communicate through oral language. By age six or seven, most humans can comprehend, as well as express, written thoughts. These unique abilities of communicating through a native language clearly separate humans from all animals. The obvious question then arises, where did we obtain this distinctive trait? Organic evolution has proven unable to elucidate the origin of language and communication. Knowing how beneficial this ability is to humans, one would wonder why this skill has not evolved in other species. Materialistic science is insufficient at explaining not only how speech came about, but also why we have so many different languages. Linguistic research, combined with neurological studies, has determined that human speech is highly dependent on a neuronal network located in specific sites within the brain. This intricate arrangement of neurons, and the anatomical components necessary for speech, cannot be reduced in such a way that one could produce a \u201ctransitional\u201d form of communication. The following paper examines the true origin of speech and language, and the anatomical and physiological requirements. The evidence conclusively implies that humans were created with the unique ability to employ speech for communication.\nn 1994, an article appeared in Time magazine titled \u2018How man began\u2019. Within that article was the following bold assertion: \u2018No single, essential difference separates human beings from other animals\u2019.[1] Yet, in what is obviously a contradiction to such a statement, all evolutionists admit that communication via speech is uniquely human\u2014so much so that it often is used as the singular, and most important, dividing line between humans and animals. In his book, Eve Spoke, evolutionist Philip Lieberman admitted:\n\u2018Speech is so essential to our concept of intelligence that its possession is virtually equated with being human. Animals who talk are human, because what sets us apart from other animals is the \u201cgift\u201d of speech\u2019 [emphasis in original].[2]\nIn The Cambridge Encyclopedia of Human Evolution, editors Jones, Martin, and Pilbeam conceded that \u2018there are no non-human languages,\u2019 and then went on to observe that \u2018language is an adaptation unique to humans, and yet the nature of its uniqueness and its biological basis are notoriously difficult to define\u2019 [emphasis added].[3] In his book, The Symbolic Species: The Co-Evolution of Language and the Brain, Terrance Deacon noted:\n\u2018In this context, then, consider the case of human language. It is one of the most distinctive behavioral adaptations on the planet. Languages evolved in only one species, in only one way, without precedent, except in the most general sense. And the differences between languages and all other natural modes of communicating are vast.\u2019[4]\nWhat events transpired that have allowed humans to speak, while animals remain silent? If we are to believe the evolutionary teaching currently taking place in colleges and universities around the world, speech evolved as a natural process over time. Yet no one is quite sure how, and there are no known animals that are in a transition phase from non-speaking to speaking. In fact, in the Atlas of Languages, this remarkable admission can be found: \u2018No languageless community has ever been found\u2019.[5] This represents no small problem for evolution.\nIn fact, the origin of speech and language (along with the development of sex and reproduction) remains one of the most significant hurdles in evolutionary theory, even in the twenty-first century. In an effort \u201cmake the problem go away,\u201d some evolutionists have chosen not to even address the problem. Jean Aitchison noted:\n\u2018In 1866, a ban on the topic was incorporated into the founding statutes of the Linguistic Society of Paris, perhaps the foremost academic linguistic institution of the time: \u2018The Society does not accept papers on either the origin of language or the invention of a universal language.\u2019[6]\nThat is an amazing (albeit inadvertent) admission of defeat, especially coming from a group of such eminent scientists, researchers, and scholars. While remaining quiet worked well for a while, evolutionists now realize that they need a materialistic answer for this problem.\nThe truth of the matter is, however, that the origin of human languages can be discerned\u2014but not via the theory of evolution. We invite your attention to the discussion that follows, which demonstrates conclusively that humans were created with the unique ability to employ speech for communication.\nEvolutionary Theories on the Origin of Speech\nMany animals are capable of using sounds to communicate. However, there is a colossal difference between the hoot of an owl or the grunt of a pig, and a human standing before an audience reciting Robert Frost\u2019s \u2018The Road Not Taken.\u2019 This enormous chasm between humans and animals has led to a multiplicity of theories on exactly how man came upon this unequaled capability. Many researchers have focused on the capabilities of animals\u2014sounds and gestures\u2014in an effort to understand the physiological mechanism underlying communication. But there is a single, common theme that stands out amidst all the theories: \u2018The world\u2019s languages evolved spontaneously. They were not designed\u2019 [emphasis added].[7]\nDesign implies a Designer; thus, evolutionists have conjured up theories that consider language nothing more than a fortuitous chain of events. Most of these theories involve humans growing bigger brains, which then made it physiologically possible for people to develop speech and language. For instance, in the foreword of her book, The Seeds of Speech, Jean Aitchison hypothesized:\n\u2018Physically, a deprived physical environment led to more meat-eating and, as a result, a bigger brain. The enlarged brain led to the premature birth of humans, and in consequence a protracted childhood, during which mothers cooed and crooned to their offspring. An upright stance altered the shape of the mouth and vocal tract, allowing a range of coherent sounds to be uttered.\u2019[8]\nThus, according to Aitchison, we can thank \u2018a deprived physical environment\u2019 for our ability to talk and communicate. Another evolutionist, John McCrone, put it this way:\n\u2018It all started with an ape that learned to speak. Man\u2019s hominid ancestors were doing well enough, even though the world had slipped into the cold grip of the ice ages. They had solved a few key problems that had held back the other branches of the ape family, such as how to find enough food to feed their rather oversized brains. Then man\u2019s ancestors happened on the trick of language. Suddenly, a whole new mental landscape opened up. Man became self-aware and self-possessed.\u2019[9]\nQuestion: How (and why) did that first ape learn to speak? It is easy to assert that \u2018it all started with an ape that learned to speak\u2019. But it is much more difficult to describe how this took place, especially in light of our failure to teach apes to speak today. In his book, From Hand to Mouth: The Origins of Language, Michael Corballis stated:\n\u2018My own view is that language developed much more gradually, starting with the gestures of apes, then gathering momentum as the bipedal hominids evolved. The appearance of the larger-brained genus Homo some 2 million years ago may have signaled the emergence and later development of syntax, with vocalizations providing a mounting refrain. What may have distinguished Homo sapiens was the final switch from a mixture of gestural and vocal communication to an autonomous vocal language, embellished by gesture but not dependent on it.\u2019[10]\nThe truth however, is that evolutionists can only speculate as to the origin of language. Evolutionist Carl Zimmer summed it up well when he wrote:\n\u2018No one knows the exact chronology of this evolution, because language leaves precious few traces on the human skeleton. The voice box is a flimsy piece of cartilage that rots away. It is suspended from a slender C-shaped bone called a hyoid, but the ravages of time usually destroy the hyoid too.\u2019[11]\nThus, theories are plentiful\u2014while the evidence to support those theories remains mysteriously unavailable. Add to this the fact that humans acquire the ability to communicate (and even learn some of the basic rules of syntax) by the age of two, and you begin to see why Aitchison admitted:\n\u2018Of course, holes still remain in our knowledge: in particular, at what stage did language leap from being something new which humans discovered to being something which every newborn human is scheduled to acquire? This is still a puzzle.\u2019[12]\nA \u2018puzzle\u2019 indeed!\nAdam\u2014the First Human to Talk and Communicate\nIn a chapter he titled \u2018What, When, and Where did Eve Speak to Adam and He to Her?,\u2019 Philip Lieberman commented:\n\u2018In the five-million-year-long lineage that connects us to the common ancestors of apes and human beings, there have been many Adams and many Eves. In the beginning was the word, but the vocal communications of our most distant hominid ancestors five million years or so ago probably didn\u2019t really differ from those of the ape-hominid ancestor.\u2019[13]\nUsing biblical terminology, Lieberman had written a year earlier: \u2018For with speech came a capacity for thought that had never existed before, and that has transformed the world. In the beginning was the word\u2019.[14]\nWhen God created the first human beings\u2014Adam and Eve\u2014He created them in His own image (Genesis 1:26-27). This likeness unquestionably included the ability to engage in intelligible speech via human language. In fact, God spoke to them from the very beginning of their existence as humans (Genesis 1:28-30). Hence, they possessed the ability to understand verbal communication\u2014and to speak themselves!\nGod gave very specific instructions to the man before the woman was even created (Genesis 2:15-17). Adam gave names to the animals before the creation of Eve (Genesis 2:19-20). Since both the man and the woman were created on the sixth day, the creation of the man preceded the creation of the woman by only hours. So, Adam had the ability to speak on the very day that he was brought into existence!\nThat same day, God put Adam to sleep and performed history\u2019s first human surgery. He fashioned the female of the species from a portion of the male\u2019s body. God then presented the woman to the man (no doubt in what we would refer to as the first marriage ceremony). Observe Adam\u2019s response: \u2018And Adam said, \u201cThis is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of man\u201d\u2019 (Genesis 2:23). Here is Adam\u2014less than twenty-four hours old\u2014articulating intelligible speech with a well-developed vocabulary and advanced powers of expression. Note also that Eve engaged in intelligent conversation with Satan (Genesis 3:1-5). An unbiased observer is forced to conclude that Adam and Eve were created with oral communication capability. Little wonder, then, that God said to Moses: \u2018Who had made man\u2019s mouth? ... Have not I, the Lord? Now therefore, go, and I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall say\u2019 (Exodus 4:11-12).\nThe Tower of Babel\u2014and Universal Language\nNobody knows exactly how many languages there are in the world, partly because of the difficulty of distinguishing between a language and a sub-language (or dialects within it). One authoritative source that has collected data from all over the world, The Ethnologue, listed the total number of languages as 6809[15].\nThe Bible\u2019s explanation of the origin of multiple human languages is provided in the Tower of Babel incident recorded in Genesis 11:1-9 (see Figure 1). Scripture simply and confidently asserts: \u2018Now the whole earth had one language and one speech\u2019 (11:1). When Noah and his family stepped off the ark, they spoke a single language that was passed on to their offspring. As the population increased, it apparently remained localized in a single geographical region. Consequently, little or no linguistic variation ensued. But when a generation defiantly rejected God\u2019s instructions to scatter over the planet, God miraculously intervened and initiated the major language groupings of the human race. This action forced the population to proceed with God\u2019s original intention to inhabit the Earth (cf. Isaiah 45:18) by clustering according to shared languages. Duursma correctly noted: \u2018The Babel account suggests that several languages came into existence on that day. It is presented as a miraculous intervention by God\u2019.[16]\nFigure 1. Peter Breugel (1525-1569); oil painting (1563) of the Tower of Babel\u2014the historical event during which God confused the human language.\nThis depiction of the origin of languages coincides with the present status of these languages. The available linguistic evidence does not support the model postulated by evolutionary sources for the origin of languages. Many evolutionary linguists believe that all human languages have descended from a single, primitive language, which itself evolved from the grunts and noises of the lower animals. The single most influential \u2018hopeful monster\u2019 theory of the evolution of human language was proposed by the famous linguist from MIT, Noam Chomsky, and has since been echoed by numerous linguists, philosophers, anthropologists, and psychologists. Chomsky argued that the innate ability of children to acquire the grammar necessary for a language can be explained only if one assumes that all grammars are variations of a single, generic \u2018universal grammar\u2019, and that all human brains come \u2018with a built-in language organ that contains this language blueprint\u2019.[17]\nExplaining this \u2018innate ability\u2019, a \u2018universal grammar\u2019, and the \u2018built-in language organ\u2019 of humans has proven to be, well, impossible! Steven Pinker, the eminent psychologist also of MIT, candidly lamented this very fact in his best-selling book, How the Mind Works. In addressing the failure of \u2018our species\u2019 \u2019 scientists to solve these types of plaguing, perennial problems, he wrote:\n\u2018The species\u2019 best minds have flung themselves at the puzzles for millennia but have made no progress in solving them. Another is that they have a different character from even the most challenging problems of science. Problems such as how a child learns language or how a fertilized egg becomes an organism are horrendous in practice and may never be solved completely.\u2019 [emphasis added].[18]\nHowever, the existing state of human language nevertheless suggests that the variety of dialects and sub-languages has developed from a relatively few (perhaps even less than twenty) languages. These original \u2018proto-languages\u2019\u2014from which all others allegedly have developed\u2014were distinct within themselves, with no previous ancestral language. Creationist Carl Wieland rightly remarked: \u2018The evidence is wonderfully consistent with the notion that a small number of languages, separately created at Babel, has diversified into the huge variety of languages we have today\u2019.[19]\nThe Brain\u2019s Language Centers\u2014Created by God\nIn contemplating how language arose, evolutionists frequently link the development of the brain to the appearance of languages. But when one considers that more than 6,000 languages exist, it is incomprehensible to suggest that the invention of language could be viewed as some sort of simple, clear-cut addition to human physiology made possible by an enlarged brain unique to Homo sapiens. Terrance Deacon commented on the intricacy of evolving a language when he wrote:\n\u2018For a language feature to have such an impact on brain evolution that all members of the species come to share it, it must remain invariable across even the most drastic language change possible\u2019 [emphasis in original).[20]\nFigure 2. Left hemisphere of human brain with language centers\u2014Broca\u2019s area and Wernicke\u2019s area\u2014highlighted.\nThe complexity underlying speech first revealed itself in patients who were suffering various communication problems. Researchers began noticing analogous responses among patients with similar injuries. The ancient Greeks noticed that brain damage could cause the loss of the ability to speak (a condition known as aphasia). Centuries later, in 1836, Marc Dax described a group of patients that could not speak normally. Dax reported that all of these patients experienced damage to the left hemisphere of their brain. In 1861, Paul Broca described a patient who could utter only a single word\u2014\u2018tan\u2019. When this patient died, Broca examined his brain and observed significant damage to the left frontal cortex, which has since become known anatomically as \u2018Broca\u2019s area\u2019 (see Figure 2). While patients with damage to Broca\u2019s area can understand language, they generally are unable to produce speech because words are not formed properly, thus slurring their speech.\nIn 1876, Carl Wernicke discovered that language problems also could result from damage to another section of the brain. This area, later termed \u2018Wernicke\u2019s area\u2019, is located in the posterior part of the temporal lobe (see Figure 2). Damage to Wernicke\u2019s area results in a loss of the ability to understand language. Thus, patients can continue to speak, but the words are put together in such a way that they make no sense. Interestingly, in most people (approximately 97%) both Broca\u2019s area and Wernicke\u2019s area are found only in the left hemisphere, which explains the language deficits observed in patients with brain damage to the left side of the brain. Evolutionists freely acknowledge that:\n\u2018The relationship between brain size and language is unclear. Possibly, increased social interaction combined with tactical deception gave the brain an initial impetus. Better nourishment due to meat-eating may also have played a part. Then brain size and language possibly increased together.\u2019[21]\nBut, the human brain is not simply larger. The connections are vastly different as well. As Deacon admitted: \u2018Looking more closely, we will discover that a radical re-engineering of the whole brain has taken place, and on a scale that is unprecedented\u2019.[22] In order to speak a word that has been read, information is obtained from the eyes and travels to the visual cortex. From the primary visual cortex, information is transmitted to the posterior speech area (which includes Wernicke\u2019s area). From there, information travels to Broca\u2019s area, and then to the primary motor cortex to provide the necessary muscle contractions to produce the sound. To speak a word that has been heard, we must invoke the primary auditory cortex, not the visual cortex. Deacon commented on this complex neuronal network\u2014which does not occur in animals\u2014when he wrote:\n\u2018Many a treatise on grammatical theory has failed to provide an adequate accounting of the implicit knowledge that even a four-year-old appears to possess about her newly acquired language.\u2019[23]\nFigure 3. Posterior view of the larynx opening into the pharynx (\u2018tube within a tube\u2019).\nThe specific mechanics involved in speaking have anatomical requirements that are found primarily in humans (the exception being angels\u20141 Cor. 13:1; Rev. 5:2; and also birds\u2014although they produce sound differently). There is no animal living presently, nor has one been observed in the fossil record, that possesses anything close to the \u2018voice box\u2019 (as we commonly call it) present in humans. As information scientist Werner Gitt observed in his fascinating book, The Wonder of Man:\n\u2018Only man has the gift of speech, a characteristic otherwise only possessed by God. This separates us clearly from the animal kingdom ... In addition to the necessary \u201csoftware\u201d for speech, we have also been provided with the required \u201chardware\u201d.\u2019[24]\nFurthermore, the complete lack of any \u2018transitional\u2019 animal form (with the requisite speech hardware) in the fossil record poses a significant continuity problem for evolutionists. As Deacon noted:\n\u2018This lack of precedent makes language a problem for biologists. Evolutionary explanations are about biological continuity, so a lack of continuity limits the use of the comparative method in several important ways. We can\u2019t ask, \u201cWhat ecological variable correlates with increasing language use in a sample species?\u201d Nor can we investigate the \u2018neurological correlates of increased language complexity.\u2019 There is no range of species to include in our analysis.\u2019>[25]\nFigure 4. The complex design and multiple components necessary for speech argue strongly against an evolutionary origin.\nTo simplify the anatomy required for human speech by using an analogy, think of a small tube resting inside a larger tube (see Figure 3). The inner tube consists of the trachea going down to the lungs, and the larynx (which houses the voice box). At the larynx, the inner tube opens out to the larger tube, which is known as the pharynx. It not only carries sound up to the mouth, but it also carries food and water from the mouth down to the stomach. A rather simplistic description of how humans utter sounds in speech can be characterized by the control of air generated by the lungs, flowing through the vocal tract, vibrating over the vocal cord, filtered by facial muscle activity, and released out of the mouth and nose. Just as sound is generated from blowing air across the narrow mouth of a bottle, air is passed over the vocal cords, which can be tightened or relaxed to produce various resonances.\nThe physiological components necessary can be divided into: (1) supralaryngeal vocal tract; (2) larynx; and (3) subglottal system (see Figure 4). In 1848, Johannes Muller demonstrated that human speech involved the modulation of acoustic energy by the airway above the larynx (referred to as the supralaryngeal tract). Sound energy for speech is generated in the larynx at the vocal folds. The subglottal system\u2014which consists of the lungs, trachea, and their associated muscles\u2014provides the necessary power for speech production. The lungs produce the initial air pressure that is essential for the speech signal; the pharyngeal cavity, oral cavity, and nasal cavity shape the final output sound that is perceived as speech. This is the primary anatomy used in common speech, aside from those sounds produced by varying the air pressure in the pharynx or constricting parts of the oral cavity.\nBirds of a Feather\u2014or Naked Ape?\nImagine the conundrum in which evolutionists find themselves when it comes to speech and language. The animal that comes closest to producing anything that even vaguely resembles human speech is not another primate, but rather a bird. Deacon observed:\n\u2018In fact, most birds easily outshine any mammal in vocal skills, and though dogs, cats, horses, and monkeys are remarkably capable learners in many domains, vocalization is not one of them. Our remarkable vocal abilities are not part of a trend, but an exception.\u2019[26]\nFor instance, a famous African gray parrot in England named Toto can pronounce words so clearly that he sounds rather human. Like humans, birds can produce fluent, complex sounds. We both share a double-barreled, double-layered system involving tunes and dialects\u2014a system controlled by the left side of our brains. And just like young children, juvenile birds experience a period termed \u2018sub-song\u2019 where they twitter in what resembles the babbling of a young child learning to speak. Yet Toto does not have a \u2018language\u2019 as humans understand it. Humans use language for many more purposes than birds use song. Consider, too, that it is mostly male birds that sing. Females remain songless unless they are injected with the male hormone testosterone.[27] Also consider that humans frequently communicate intimately between two or three people, while bird communication is a fairly long-distance affair.\nOne of the big \u2018success\u2019 stories in looking at the human-like qualities of non-human primates is a male bonobo chimpanzee known as Kanzi.[28] [29] Kanzi was born 28 October 1990, and began his long journey to learn to \u2018speak\u2019 as a result of the training provided for his mother, Matata, via a \u2018talking\u2019 keyboard. Matata never did master the keyboard, but Kanzi did. Through many years of intense training and close social contact with humans, this remarkable animal attained the language abilities of an average two-year-old human. By age ten, he had a vocabulary (via the keyboard) of some two hundred words. In fact, Kanzi was able to go beyond the mere parroting or \u2018aping\u2019 of humans; he actually could communicate his wants and needs, express feelings, and use tools. Inasmuch as Kanzi could accomplish such things, does this prove that chimps are merely hairy, child-like versions of humans?\nHardly. To use the words of the famous American news commentator, Paul Harvey, someone needs to tell \u2018the rest of the story\u2019. For example, in their 2002 volume, Up from Dragons, John Skoyles and Dorion Sagan discussed Kanzi at great length. Among other things, they wrote:\n\u2018Kanzi shows that while chimps may have the potential to learn language, they require a \u201cgifted\u201d environment to do so. Kanzi was surrounded by intelligent apes with Ph.D.s [i.e., humans-BH/BT/DM] who spoke to him and gave him a stream of rich interactions. They gave Kanzi\u2019s brain a world in which it could play at developing its ability to communicate ... Therefore, as much as in his brain, Kanzi\u2019s skill lies in the environment that helped shape it\u2019 [emphasis added].[30]\nKanzi does not possess the anatomical equipment required for speech. In fact, aside from parrots mimicking ability, no other animals are anatomically equipped for speech. As Skoyles and Sagan went on to note: \u2018Chimps lack the vocal abilities needed for making speech sounds\u2014speech requires a skilled coordination between breathing and making movements with the larynx that chimps lack\u2019.[31] Humans, however, do possess the anatomical equipment required for speech.\nAs Skoyles and Sagan candidly admitted, Kanzi\u2019s skill was \u2018in the environment that helped shape it\u2019. That is precisely what Herb Terrace discovered with his own chimp, Nim Chimsky (sarcastically named after MIT scientist Noam Chomsky). Such an assessment always will be true of \u2018talking animals\u2019. But it is not always true of humans! Consider the following case in point.\nAs we mentioned earlier, the eminent linguist Noam Chomsky has championed the idea that humans are born with a built-in \u2018universal grammar\u2019\u2014a series of biological switches for complex language that is set in place in the early years of childhood. This, he believes, is why children can grasp elaborate language rules, even at an early age\u2014without adults to teach them. Chomsky noted:\n\u2018The rate of vocabulary acquisition is so high at certain stages in life, and the precision and delicacy of the concepts acquired so remarkable, that it seems necessary to conclude that in some manner the conceptual system with which lexical items are connected is already in place.\u2019[32]\nJohn W. Oller and John L. Omdahl went on to comment:\n\u2018In other words, the conceptual system is not really constructed in the child\u2019s mind as if out of nothing, but must be, in an important sense, known before the fact. The whole system must be in place before it can be employed to interpret experience\u2019 [emp. in orig.].[33]\nPowerful support for Chomsky\u2019s theory emerged from a decade-long study of 500 deaf children in Managua, Nicaragua, which was reported in the December 1995 issue of Scientific American.[34] These children started attending special schools in 1979, but none used or was taught a formal sign language. Within a few years the children began to develop their own basic \u2018pidgin\u2019 sign language. This quickly was modified by younger children entering school, with the current version taking on a complex and consistent grammar. If Chomsky is correct, where, then, did humans get their innate ability for language? Chomsky himself will not even hazard a guess. In his opinion, \u2018very few people are concerned with the origin of language because most consider it a hopeless question\u2019.[35] The development of language, he admits, is a \u2018mystery\u2019. The fundamental failing of naturalistic theories is that they are inadequate to explain the origins of something so complex and information-rich as human language, which itself is a gift of God and part of man\u2019s having been created \u2018in His image\u2019.[36]\nThe fact is, no animal is capable of speaking in the manner in which people can speak. Speech is a peculiarly human trait. Steven Pinker, director of MIT\u2019s Center of Cognitive Neuroscience, stated in The Language Instinct: The New Science of Language and Mind:\n\u2018As you are reading these words, you are taking part in one of the wonders of the natural world. For you and I belong to a species with a remarkable ability: we can shape events in each other\u2019s brains with remarkable precision. I am not referring to telepathy or mind control or the other obsessions of fringe science; even in the depictions of believers, these are blunt instruments compared to an ability that is uncontroversially present in every one of us. That ability is language. Simply by making noises with our mouths, we can reliably cause precise new combinations of ideas to arise in each other\u2019s minds. The ability comes so naturally that we are apt to forget what a miracle it is ... [H]uman language is based on a very different design ... Even the seat of human language in the brain is special ... \u2019 [emphasis added].[37]\nWithout detracting anything from primates like Kanzi and Washoe, fundamental differences between animals and humans nevertheless remain. Unlike human children, animals: (1) do not have a special region in the brain devoted to language; (2) possess a much smaller brain overall; and (3) lack the anatomy to speak the words they may think. In summary, humans have an innate, built-in, hard-wired ability to acquire and communicate complex language from the moment of their birth. Animals do not. Admittedly, animals do possess a measure of understanding. They can learn to respond to commands and signs, and in some instances even can be trained to use minimal portions of human sign language. As Oller and Omdahl pointed out: \u2018One of the most remarkable missing elements in the pseudolinguistic behavior of the trained apes is that they don\u2019t ask questions. They simply don\u2019t seem to be able to understand what a question is.\u2019[38] Thus, even though apes, dogs, and birds can be trained to do certain things and can convey ideas of danger, food, etc., they still cannot reason with others so as to have true mental communion. Why? The intelligence of animals is, quite bluntly, unlike that of humankind.\nThe issue is not \u2018can animals think?\u2019 but rather \u2018can they think the way humans do?\u2019 The answer, obviously, is a resounding \u2018No!\u2019 Although animal trainers and investigators since the seventeenth century have tried to teach chimpanzees to talk, no chimpanzee has ever managed it. A chimpanzee\u2019s sound-producing anatomy is simply too different from that of humans. Chimpanzees might be able to produce a muffled approximation of human speech\u2014if their brains could plan and execute the necessary articulate maneuvers. But to do this, they would have to have our brains, which they obviously do not.[39]\nComplexity of Language\u2014Uniquely Human\nNo known language in the whole of human history can be considered \u2018primitive\u2019 in any sense of the word. In her book, What is Linguistics? Suzette Elgin wrote:\n\u2018the most ancient languages for which we have written texts\u2014Sanskrit for example\u2014are often far more intricate and complicated in their grammatical forms than many other contemporary languages.\u2019[40]\nFigure 5. The most ancient languages for which we have written texts are often far more intricate and complicated in their grammatical forms than many contemporary languages.\nThe late Lewis Thomas, a distinguished physician, scientist, and longtime director and chancellor of the Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in Manhattan, acknowledged: \u2018 ...Language is so incomprehensible a problem that the language we use for discussing the matter is itself becoming incomprehensible\u2019.[41] It appears that, from the beginning, human communication was designed with a tremendous amount of complexity and forethought, and has allowed us to communicate not only with one another, but also with the Designer of language.\nIn a paper titled \u2018Evolution of Universal Grammar\u2019 that appeared in the January 2001 issue of Science, M.A. Nowak and his colleagues attempted to discount the gulf that separates human and animals.[42] This paper, which was a continuation of a 1999 paper titled \u2018The Evolution of Language\u2019,[43] used mathematical calculations in an effort to predict the evolution of grammar and the rules surrounding it. While Nowak and his team inferred that the evolution of universal grammar can occur via natural selection, they freely admitted that \u2018the question concerning why only humans evolved language is hard to answer\u2019 [emphasis added].[44] Hard to answer indeed! The mathematical models presented in these papers do not tell us anything about the origination of the multitude of languages used in the world today. If man truly did evolve from an ape-like ancestor, how did the phonologic [the branch of linguistics that deals with the sounds of speech and their production] component of our languages become so diverse and variegated? Nowak\u2019s paper also did not clarify the origination of written languages, or describe how the language process was initiated in the first humans, considering we know today that parents teach languages to their offspring.\nAlso, consider that when language first appears on the scene, it already is fully developed and very complex. The late Harvard paleontologist George Gaylord Simpson described it this way:\n\u2018Even the peoples with least complex cultures have highly sophisticated languages, with complex grammar and large vocabularies, capable of naming and discussing anything that occurs in the sphere occupied by their speakers. The oldest language that can be reconstructed is already modern, sophisticated, complete from an evolutionary point of view.\u2019[45]\nChomsky summed it up well when he stated:\n\u2018Human language appears to be a unique phenomenon, without significant analogue in the animal world ... There is no reason to suppose that the \u2018gaps\u2019 are bridgeable. There is no more of a basis for assuming an evolutionary development from breathing to walking.\u2019[46]\nThe fact of the matter is that language is quintessentially a human trait. All attempts to shed light on the evolution of human language have failed\u2014due to the lack of knowledge regarding the origin of any language, and due to the lack of an animal that possesses any \u2018transitional\u2019 form of communication. This leaves evolutionists with a huge gulf to bridge between humans with their innate communication abilities, and the grunts, barks, or chatterings of animals. As noted:\n\u2018By the age of six, the average child has learned to use and understand about 13,000 words; by eighteen it will have a working vocabulary of 60,000 words. That means it has been learning an average of ten new words a day since its first birthday, the equivalent of a new word every 90 minutes of its waking life\u2019 [emp. in orig.].[47]\nDeacon lamented:\n\u2018So this is the real mystery. Even under these loosened criteria, there are no simple languages used among other species, though there are many other equally or more complicated modes of communication. Why not? And the problem is even more counterintuitive when we consider the almost insurmountable difficulties of teaching language to other species. This is surprising, because there are many clever species. Though researchers report that language-like communication has been taught to nonhuman species, even the best results are not above legitimate challenges, and the fact that it is difficult to prove whether or not some of these efforts have succeeded attests to the rather limited scope of the resulting behaviors, as well as to deep disagreements about what exactly constitutes language-like behavior.\u2019[48]\nAnother scholar who recognized this chasm between humans and animals commented:\n\u2018The very fact ... that human animals are ready to engage in a great \u2018garrulity\u2019 over the merits and demerits of essentially unprovable hypotheses, is an exciting testimony to the gap between humans and other animals.\u2019[49]\nGap indeed! Humans are capable of communicating in human language because God created them with the ability to do so! The Bible still offers the only plausible explanation for the origin of human language when it records: \u2018Then God said, \u201cLet Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness;\u201d ... So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them\u2019 (Genesis 1:26-27).\n[1] Lemonick, M.D., How man began, Time 143(11):80-87, 1994, p. 81.

Often, these are unhealthy ones, contributing to a national obesity rate of more than 33 percent. Lowering this rate is key to controlling rising health-care costs and improving quality of life. Milken Institute health economists conducted the first-ever analysis of the effect lowering consumption of sugary drinks \u2013 a leading cause of obesity \u2013 would have on public health and finances.\nThey discovered that even a modest reduction would have a major health impact and generate solid economic dividends: In 2030, if Americans consume on average three fewer 12-ounce sugar-sweetened drinks per month compared to continuing on the current trend, the number of obese Americans would be reduced by 2.6 million, producing an overall savings of more than $25 billion for the U.S health-care system.

The structure of the book has changed significantly, and though much of the new edition consists of the same text as before, parts have been rewritten and some parts of the older book have been left out or incorporated into new chapters. It does of course also reflect the changes in the language as it has reached version 2.4 and now 2.5 (which appeared just after the book's publishing date).\nThe book itself stresses that it is to be regarded as a tutorial (or perhaps a set of tutorials) rather than a reference book -- for that see ``Python in a Nutshell'' reviewed elsewhere in this issue by Graham Lee. For information in smaller sized chunks about how to do useful stuff with Python, there is also the ``Python Cookbook''.\nThis book's approach is to explain by doing. Some of the sections are fairly small self-contained descriptions of how particular modules can be used in practice. Other examples develop solid projects in which the author leads you through (among others) creating a Python GUI mail client, a Python webmail server and several fully functional GUI programs. This approach necessarily means building on top of a lot of preparatory work in which the author creates the infrastructure for his project first in the form of various classes and modules. As a result you cannot expect to just quickly grab something useful from any part of the book: you have to follow the author's way of achieving his results.\nUnlike the second edition, this book does not come with a CD, but all the code examples are available from the O'Reilly web site. The examples come with a launcher which at the same time runs a simple editor written in Python (as one of the book's projects) allowing you to view and edit the code.",

What will it take for you to stand up? When it happens to one of your children or grandchildren maybe? And if it didn't happen to one of yours, does that make it alright? Vaccine injury is unpredictable. Each vaccine is Russian roulette. Please pray for the truth. Because I just don't know what else to do. I'm mad as hell and I'm not going away. Vaccines are NOT safe for all children, you are being lied to. Nobody deserves to find out the hard way like we did.\" ~ Donna D.\nThese sisters were born just 15 months apart. There are many cases within families where an older child gets all their vaccines and appears to be fine and then a younger child, getting the very same vaccines, suffers serious injury and even death. As the mother of these two precious little girls who are now beautiful young women states, it truly is a game of \"Russian Roulette,\" one that is being played with our children's lives.

        "title": "Pain Behind the Eye: Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment",
        "raw_content": "Symptoms, Causes, and When to See a Doctor\nMany people complain to their eye doctor about \"pain behind the eyes.\" Pain behind the eye can feel somewhat like a deep headache. Pain, headache or achiness that occurs behind the eye is a common complaint and can be concerning. However, a proper diagnosis is not always easy. Your eye doctor will need to evaluate your eye health to determine a possible source of pain.\nPain behind your eye can feel like a dull ache or sharp, intense pain. Some people complain of an explosive pain behind the eye or describe it as feeling like their eye is being stabbed with an ice pick. Some people describe eye pain as a deep headache.\nPain or headaches behind the eye may be accompanied by the following symptoms:\nPain on eye movement\nIf you experience persistent pain behind your eyes, it is best not to ignore it. While it will usually not be serious, it may be a sign of an associated condition which may be far more concerns.\nHere are just a few of the possible causes:\nWhen we think of dry eye syndrome, we imagine symptoms of pain, dryness, and redness affecting the front part of the eye. However, when dry eye persists, light sensitivity, pain, and general headaches can occur.\nThis pain can cause pressure to build up around and behind the eye. Although there are many different options for treating dry eye syndrome, sometimes all it takes is a good quality artificial tear applied several times daily to resolve the symptoms.\nAlthough this seems logical, sometimes we do not equate the cause of frank eye pain with vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, or presbyopia (the over-40 syndrome that causes blurred near vision).\nThe cause of pain associated with vision problems stems more from our eye and brain trying to compensate for the disorder rather than the deficit itself. Squinting and intense focusing can cause pain to build up inside and behind the eye.\nSinusitis (inflammation of the sinuses) and sinus infection can cause facial pain around the eyes. Because there are sinus cavities around the bony orbit that houses the eyeball, pain can develop in and around the eye. This pressure behind the eye is usually accompanied by facial headaches as well.\nThe sclera is the tough outer coating of the eyeball. Scleritis is the inflammation that develops inside the sclera. Scleritis produces pain behind the eye or upon eye movement. There can also be redness and light sensitivity.\nWhile scleritis may have no underlying cause, it often accompanies immune-mediated disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, scleroderma, and inflammatory bowel disease.\nDepending on the cause, scleritis may be treated with oral and topical steroid medications or immunosuppressive drugs.\nOptic neuritis often causes pain behind the eye or pain upon eye movement. Optic neuritis is an inflammatory condition of the optic nerve, the cable that connects the eye to the brain. It inserts into the back of the eye and can be tugged slightly from side to side when the eye moves back and forth. When inflamed, pain occurs behind the eye.\nAlthough not entirely proven, optic neuritis is strongly linked to the development of multiple sclerosis.\nMigraine sufferers often complain about throbbing pain behind one eye. Hormones can play a role in migraines but certain triggers can cause a migraine to develop. These triggers can be stress, certain smells, flashing strobe lights or even eating something you are allergic to.\nSome migraine sufferers will experience strange visual auras that restrict their peripheral vision. These visual obscurations are generally short-lived, lasting for less than 20 minutes.\nCluster headaches are extremely painful headaches that cause pain behind the eyes. Cluster headaches can come on suddenly and reoccur almost on a clockwise basis within a 24-hour period.\nScientists believe that the hypothalamus in the brain may be involved because of the reoccurrence and seasonal patterns of cluster headaches. For reasons unknown, cluster headaches affect men four times more often than women.\nIf the eye pain is severe and/or persistent\nIf the eye pain is accompanied by a headache or fever\nIf you extreme light sensitivity or see halos around light\nIf your vision changes suddenly\nIf you experience swelling in and around the eyes\nIf you have trouble moving the eyes or keeping them open\nIf there is blood or pus coming from your eyes\nWhat Is an Eye Stroke?\nWhat to Know About Nuclear Sclerosis\nHow Sarcoidosis of the Eyes Is Treated\nWhat Could Be Causing Your Eye Problems?\nWhy Do Your Eyes Feel Dry and Gritty?\nTired Eyes and Asthenopia \u2013 Causes, Treatment, and Prevention",

        "raw_content": "How long does it take to heal the pain and sadness of grief? Most of us have experienced the heartbreak that comes from losing someone we cherish. You have probably heard, as I have, that it takes at least a year to overcome the grief associated with the death of a loved one, or that we will grieve the loss of an intimate relationship for as many months or years as we were in it. But what does the research say? How long does grief last? Psychologists who study this subject will tell you that there are enormous individual differences when it comes to grief. Some people resolve grief relatively fast, and others experience it for years. The rule of thumb is that \"time heals all wounds.\" But why is that? What happens over time that causes this healing to occur? We know there is a natural healing system in our bodies that responds to physical injury or illness. But is there a mental healing system, as well? If so, how does it work?\nHere is a take on grief that you have probably never heard before: It only takes a moment to overcome grief. When I've interviewed people about their past experiences of grief, most of them can pinpoint the day and even the time when something shifted in them and they found resolution of their feelings. For many of these individuals, the moment of healing took months or years to arrive. Why is that? Perhaps there was an element of forgetting that needed to happen. The intensity of the initial feelings may have had to fade enough to allow room for a different perspective to develop, including fresh insights and a deeper understanding of what had happened.\nUltimately, the key element in healing grief is surrender, which means letting go of attachment. Grief stems from attachment because it's hard to let go of someone we love and cherish. Perhaps we expect more, saying to ourselves: This relationship ended too soon. This person died much too young. I wasn't ready to lose this person yet. I feel that I deserved more time with them. I am entitled to more than I got.\nHealing our grief involves making an enormous leap that comes when we focus not on our expectations of something we didn't get but rather on our gratitude for what we had and continue to have. In a flash, we come to the realization that we were fortunate and blessed to have had the experiences we did, to have had the honor of this person's acquaintance, to have basked in the warmth of their love, and to have shared so much with them. We can let go of the feeling that there were missed opportunities or important things that remained unsaid if we accept that what we had was enough and that it was perfect just as it was.\nFor some, this shift takes months or years to arrive. But that time frame is not set in stone. If we can love wholeheartedly without attachment or expectations, then we can experience healing from grief in a single instant. It is truly possible. I have witnessed it and experienced it firsthand.\nWhat about you? How have you dealt with grief in your own life? Can you recall a specific moment when your feelings of loss just dissipated or resolved themselves?\nMy time is limited now. I will add more later. For now, I want to say that what stands out for me in what Victor said regarding letting go of grief is this: \"surrender, which means letting go of attachment\" and \"love wholeheartedly without attachment or expectations\", so especially pay attention to the sections of his writing that includes these quotes.\nAlso, I recommend these books for releasing grief: \"The\nChanter's Guide\" by Victor Shamas (which involves oneness and letting go of attachments), \"Animals in Spirit\" by Penelope Smith (involves Life never ending and Love) and \"The Power\" by Rhonda Byrne (?) - (involves the greatest power: Love). Grief cannot exist when you understand the power of Love and are aware of the Oneness and interconnectedness of all Life, which is Energy. Remember the quote about energy which goes something like this: \"Energy cannot be destroyed, it can only be transformed\".\nThanks for the kind words and the citation, Glenn!\nMy friend, Nancy, lost her husband 3 days before their 50th anniversary. \"It's the only time he ever stood me up,\" she said. It was her wisdom that caused \"the shift\" for me when my mother died. \"You don't get over it; you get used to it,\" she told me. I guess \"surrender\" is another way of putting it because the notion frees you from pressure to \"put it behind you,\" \"buck up,\" & \"soldier on.\" And that's the way it was for me. No longer believing that I should be doing something to change my feelings, gradually, my mother's absence became more familiar than her presence. Eleven years later, I still have the urge every once in a while to pick up the phone & share something with her. But when I catch myself, I smile and am grateful for the fleeting flash of closeness.",

It was not until years later, when I grew up, that I learned that not every city has such gems.\nThe East Wing of the National Gallery of Art, a bright, airy building designed by I. M. Pei, houses art from the twentieth century and later. The outside is faced with marble and flanked with sculptures and fountains.\nEast Wing, National gallery of Art\nPlaza between the East Wing and the West Wing. Bram, I hope you\u2019re reading this.

The shape is unusual \u2013 triangular \u2013 and there is a lot of open space and light within. The light pours in through the glass prisms of the ceiling, and the gallery is sunny inside, even on a cloudy day. All these things contribute to a sense of movement in the East Wing. There is real movement, too, in the form of a huge mobile by Alexander Calder which is suspended from the ceiling. I like walking around on the floor of the atrium and the walkways of the upper floors to see the Calder mobile. It looks different from every vantage point. There is one place on one of the ramps where I always feel that the mobile is going to bump right into me, but it never does. Even the people inside the Gallery seem to be part of the design, and they move around, too.\nAtrium of East Wing\nThe best part of my vacation is that I can go back almost any time.",

        "raw_content": "Le Mans 24 Hours \u2026 Five Weeks to go\nThe Michelin Man goes walk-about on the grid ahead of the start of the 2011 Le Mans race. Over his left shoulder is the Audi driver Timo Bernhard (No.1 car) chatting to team boss Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich. (\u00a9 VMP/Glen Smale)\nWell, the latest from the Bentley camp is that it is all very hush-hush, as Bentley\u2019s Brian Gush, Director of Chassis, Powertrain & Motorsport commented, \u201cWe are involved in a feasibility study which is still some way off completion.\u201d Developments at Crewe will be closely monitored and any info that leaks our way will be posted here, so stay close.\nNissan GT Academy 2008 winner will team up with Alex and Martin Brundle in the Greaves Motorsport Nissan-powered Zytek Z11SN LMP2 car. (\u00a9 Nissan Motorsport)\nOn 16 April, 2012, Nissan and PlayStation once again joined forces to run the fourth year of the innovative GT Academy virtual-to-reality racing competition which has been expanded to incorporate four separate competitions covering Europe, Germany, USA and Russia. The process follows an eight-step qualification programme that can be played online (using a PlayStation 3 and the popular Gran Turismo 5 as a base). The fastest gamers from each country then join winners from a number of live events to compete in the national finals in July. The action will then make the transition from the virtual world of PS3 to real Nissan sports cars when the winners of each National competition will participate in the international Race Camp competition at Silverstone Circuit in August. The ultimate winners of each of the GT Academy competitions from Race Camp will then be put through an incredibly intensive and thorough Driver Development Programme to prepare them for the chance to take part in the Dubai 24 Hours in January, 2013 \u2013 the ultimate competition prize. GT Academy is now established as a potential route into top-level motor sport. Lucas Ordo\u00f1ez (Spain, winner in 2008) took second place at the 2011 Le Mans 24 Hour and will be racing alongside father-and-son pairing Alex and Martin Brundle. Ordo\u00f1ez must feel that he is floating on clouds right now because not only will he contest the full European LMS season in the Greaves Motorsport Zytek-Nissan LMP2 car, but he has also been selected to join the test team for the Nissan DeltaWing \u2013 that\u2019s an opportunity of a lifetime! Jordan Tresson (France, winner in 2010) is racing in the FIA WEC and Le Mans 24 Hours in the Signatech Nissan LMP2 car. So this academy is for real, and a totally innovative way of locating new talent.\nOf course by now it is well-known that Audi steam-rolled the Spa 6-Hour race with their 1-2-3-4 finish, and although this was with the absence of any real or meaningful opposition, it was nevertheless an impressive result. What was interesting was the inter-team contest between the \u2018traditional\u2019 diesel R18s and the new e-tron quattros. While it was the TDI car that took the chequered flag, the e-tron quattro, which started from pole position, held the lead for a good portion of the race, showing that it held a slight advantage over its siblings in acceleration out of the corners courtesy of the added KERS drive to the front wheels.\nThe No.2 Audi R18 e-tron quattro driven by Capello/Kristensen/McNish surprised many by taking pole at Spa, it eventually finished fourth. (\u00a9 Audi Motorsport)\nYou might feel that the men from Ingolstadt have been banging on about their \u2018ultra\u2019 lightweight race cars a bit much, but in reality this aspect of the R18 concept is quite crucial for several reasons. In motorsport, weight is enemy number one, and in spite of the 900kg minimum weight limit of the LMP1 class cars, the R18 comes in well below this limit. This, however, allows the engineers to play with the ballast weight and to move it around the car to best suit the car\u2019s balance and so improve its performance. The R18 ultra and the R18 e-tron quattro are essentially the same car but the latter must carry the added weight of the hybrid system which one would expect to make that car heavier than the conventional R18 ultra, but in fact it doesn\u2019t because the \u2018ultra\u2019 lightweight concept of the R18 allows a sufficient margin such that the standard diesel engined car (without the added weight of the hybrid system) has more ballast in the car. Both cars thus meet the 900kg minimum weight requirement. In an effort to make the car even lighter, the R18 is fitted with a flange-mounted new carbon fibre transmission housing, a significant technological leap compared with its predecessor. What differentiates this design from a formula race car, in which this technology is already used, is that the fully structural transmission not only has to bear a much higher base load of 900kg, but it must also hold up over an endurance distance of several thousand kilometres. And with more than 850Nm the engine torque that acts on the transmission in the R18 far exceeds the corresponding torque level in a Formula 1 car.\nThe very lightweight but extremely strong Audi R18 new flange-mounted carbon fibre transmission housing. (\u00a9 Audi Motorsport)\nThe No.77 of Felbermayr-Proton Porsche snatched the GTE Pro class victory at Spa last weekend by just 0.6 seconds from the hard-charging Ferrari 458. So\u2026do Porsche have the edge over their Italian rivals this year? This will be the big question at Le Mans as the 911 GT3 RSR won both the GTE Pro and GTE Am classes at Spa last week, so a tight tussle with the Ferraris as well as the resurgent Corvettes is expected at the Sarthe circuit in June. As a result of the new GTE regulations introduced by the ACO, the GT3 RSR has grown 48mm in width, which will help with the car\u2019s stability and cornering performance. The Porsche is powered by the same six-cylinder 4.0-litre boxer engine generating 460 hp (338 kW) driving the 310mm wide rear wheels, while the front wheel diameter has increased by 30mm to measure 680mm. If you want one, it will cost you a cool \u20ac498,000.\nPorsche\u2019s 2012 model 911 GT3 RSR (Type 997) is 48mm wider than its predecessor. (\u00a9 Porsche-Werkfoto)\nAs if the Toyota Motorsport Group (TMG) had not already had enough curved balls thrown at it, what with the devastating accident at Paul Ricard which set them back weeks at a crucial tie in their testing schedule, but they now have another hurdle to jump. One of the key drivers, Hiroaki Ishiura has been forced to withdraw from the team\u2019s line-up for Le Mans due to a back complaint incurred while testing the TS030 Hybrid, apparently due to the high g-forces experienced. Ishiura was to share the seat with Sebastien Buemi and Anthony Davidson, but now a replacement driver will have to be sought by TMG so close to the race itself.\nCategories: Car Racing Tags: Corvette, Le Mans, Nissan, Porsche, Silverstone, Toyota",

        "raw_content": "When drag queens lead children\u2019s story time, \u2018a lot of hugs\u2019 \u2014 and controversy \u2014 follow\nJoyce Krom, a librarian in Huntington Woods, Mich., started the public library\u2019s Drag Queen Storytime more than a year ago. She says the children\u2019s program, which emphasizes gender diversity and acceptance, aligns with the community\u2019s values. (Sean Proctor for The Washington Post)\nBy Trevor Bach\nIn recent months in this small suburb just north of Detroit, an intense opposition campaign stoked by outsiders has consumed public discussion and galvanized support for the program. Tensions may escalate further Saturday, with both protesters and counterprotesters expected to descend on the handsome brick library as the next story time begins.\n\u201cI believe we\u2019re in a culture war right now,\u201d said Rich Penkoski, a minister with the Tennessee-based group Warriors for Christ who will lead one demonstration. He has fought similar events in multiple states and anticipates dozens of people joining him in Huntington Woods. \u201cWe need to fight just as much as everybody else.\u201d\nDrag Queen Story Hour was created in late 2015 by a San Francisco writer and new mother who wanted to provide young children with both a charismatic performance and cultural lesson. The DQSH organization now counts chapters in Milwaukee, New Orleans and other cities, though dozens of libraries across the country have been inspired to create their own versions.\nKrom, an experienced librarian with a warm, thoughtful air, nose ring and cat-eye glasses, began researching the idea for Michigan\u2019s iteration in 2016. In the wake of that November\u2019s election, she said, many of her patrons were eager for efforts that offered a rebuke to the kind of bigotry and meanness they associated with the new president. In the affluent, liberal suburb, a drag queen story time resonated.\n\u201cI think this was the program that they were really looking for, that they could really latch onto and say, \u2018This is a very different ideology from what the president is putting out there,\u2019\u2009\u201d she said.\nStill, ahead of the first presentation in December 2017, Krom alerted the local police chief, just in case. There were no problems. The evening drew more than 100 curious kids and their parents \u2014 who sprawled on the carpet at the community recreation center, where Krom had relocated things because so many people signed up.\nThe star was Raven Turner, a.k.a. Raven Divine Cassadine, a black transgender woman and the reigning Miss Motor City Pride. She wore a flowing white gown and matching rhinestone heels, earrings and bracelet. Atop her long tresses was a silver tiara. \u201cThe kids loved it,\u201d she said. \u201cEspecially the little girls, they thought I was a princess.\u201d\nRaven Turner, whose professional name is Raven Divine Cassadine, read to children at the first Drag Queen Storytime that her hometown library in Huntington Woods, Mich., hosted in 2017. (Sean Proctor for The Washington Post)\nTurner, 39, grew up near Huntington Woods and often visited its library. Even as a young child, she said, she felt different from her male cousins. But she saw virtually no trans or gender-nonconforming role models to look up to. School, where she says she stood out for being feminine, was often difficult.\nShe was in her early 20s when she gave her first drag performance: \u201cWhen I stepped onstage it opened a whole new world for me \u2014 and a whole new life.\u201d She began living as a woman while pursuing a professional drag career.\nFor her story-reading debut, Turner featured two decidedly gender-positive books, \u201cBe Who You Are\u201d and \u201cMy Princess Boy.\u201d She, too, had been a princess boy and was often bullied, she told the kids, but her friend Natalie \u2014 who was in the audience \u2014 helped her stand up for herself. \u201cThis crown is because I like to be proud,\u201d she declared. \u201cAnd you should be proud of yourself and be proud of your friends, too.\u201d\nBen Falik\u2019s 8-year-old daughter, Phoebe, attended early on. \u201cIt\u2019s dress-up, and it\u2019s all the positive messaging,\u201d he said. \u201cJust good stories, told with a lot of flair.\u201d\nOpponents feel differently, arguing that the events confuse children about gender norms and represent a dangerous new front in advocates\u2019 desire to impose a sweeping pro-gay and transgender ideology.\nThe national group MassResistance \u2014 a \u201cpro-family activist organization\u201d that the Southern Poverty Law Center characterizes as an anti-LGBT hate group \u2014 has made the drag queen story hours a rallying cry, organizing boycotts and filing lawsuits. New protests erupted this month in Colorado, Indiana and Tennessee, and it took litigation by the American Civil Liberties Union to end a ban the public library in Lafayette, La., imposed.\n\u201cAny culture, any society, that\u2019s loosened up their sexual mores has collapsed,\u201d minister Penkoski said recently. \u201cWe\u2019re repeating history.\u201d\nGina Miller holds a sign while protesting a Drag Queen Story Hour outside the Mobile Public Library in Alabama last September. (Dan Anderson/AP)\nDuring a 2017 story time at the Brooklyn Public Library in New York, Lil Miss Hot Mess compares outfits with 2-year-old Eva McInnes. (Mary Altaffer/AP)\nNot all criticism of Krom\u2019s efforts has come from outside Huntington Woods.\nCity Commissioner Allison Iversen wrote before the first story time to say that, while she supported teaching diversity, drag queens were entertainment meant for adults. \u201cChildren are innocent little beings,\u201d her letter said, \u201cand we, as a society, should be banding together to preserve that innocence.\u201d\nThough Iversen said she was contacted by a dozen or so residents who agreed with her, she represented the town\u2019s main voice of dissent. And the issue remained civil for months. After one meeting with Krom, the two \u201cjust agreed to disagree,\u201d according to the librarian, and ended up working together on a different project.\nEverything changed in early December when MassResistance homed in on the local program and told sympathizers to flood officials with calls. A barrage of emails, sent to city employees, likened it to child endangerment and called for library staff to be fired.\n\u201cI laughed it off,\u201d Krom said. Iversen didn\u2019t. Her reply to one email said she had \u201cbeen trying to get this stopped since it started\u201d and encouraged the individual to \u201cget more people involved.\u201d Iversen later said she had mistakenly believed the email was sent by a resident and rejected some of its language. But MassResistance, claiming her support, announced a demonstration. Many in the town were outraged.\n\u201cThey have zero right to dictate what we do or do not do in our community,\u201d said Danielle McGuire, a mother of two and a civil rights historian. \u201cAs the segregationists would call it in the South, we don\u2019t need outside agitators.\u201d\nIn mid-December, some 200 people filed into the recreation center gymnasium for a City Commission meeting. Most planned to demand that Iversen resign immediately. But she had already done so; with an out-of-town move in the works, she quit early because of the acrimony.\n\u201cI wasn\u2019t going to be the whipping boy,\u201d Iversen said in an interview, recounting the harassment she\u2019d gotten on social media. \u201cI\u2019ve tried to be someone who is an advocate for everyone. It made me sad that people were that quick to turn.\u201d\nWhen the mayor announced her departure, the gymnasium burst into applause. What followed for the rest of the evening was a remarkable display of civic discourse.\nSpeaker after speaker took the microphone to comment on the drag queen story hour. The vast majority were in favor and praised Krom and Turner for championing diversity. A transgender high schooler defended the program. Others expressed a spectrum of opinions on love and toxic masculinity, the culture wars, gender rights, and liberal hypocrisy.\nFor Krom, the outpouring of support has been vindicating. The controversy, she added, has only affirmed the program\u2019s importance. She\u2019s ready for Saturday, when she expects an outpouring of excited kids and a bedazzled drag queen and king to gather in the library\u2019s art gallery for perhaps the largest story time yet.\n\u201cI very firmly believe that we are on the right side of history,\u201d Krom said. \u201cAnd the fact that we are touching so many nerves .\u2009.\u2009. tells me that we need to keep going.\u201d\nCorrection: An earlier version of this story incorrectly quoted minister Rich Penkoski about the loosening of sexual mores, not social mores.\nA drag queen spoke at a middle school career event, prompting backlash. But a Colorado school defended its guest.\nNo longer just male or female: D.C. schools to give families a third option with \u2018non-binary\u2019",

        "raw_content": "MARIANNA, Fla. (CNS) -- On Wednesday, the bodies of five teens and two adults were returned to their graves in a cemetery known as Boot Hill at the former Dozier School for Boys in Marianna.\nThey died in a fire more than one hundred years ago.\nThe eight coffins were unloaded one by one. Each was brought in its own hearse.\nTwo of the coffins contained former staff members at the Dozier School for Boys, while five held children who attended the school and the eighth had mixed remains.\nSurvivors of the boys school, known for its abusive past, said their final farewell to their brethren.\nMark Engelsen, who attended Dozier from 1973 to 1974, drove all the way from Texas.\n\u201cA lot of things happened to a lot of people at this place and I'm one of them,\" said Engelsen.\nThe remains were recovered as part of an investigation into the abuse at the school. In total, the remains of more than 50 boys were unearthed.\nThe reason the seven are being buried on former school grounds is because they were originally laid to rest there. Also, the nature of their deaths was not related to the abuse that plagued Dozier for more than 100 years.\nThe Florida Legislature formally apologized for the atrocities at Dozier in 2018.\nCharles Fudge, who spent 1960 and 1961 at Dozier, says the abuse both haunts and unites those who experienced it.\n\u201cWe need love and kindness,\" said Fudge. \"Not torture.\"\nHowever, this ceremony was part of the healing process, says James \u201cHarley\" DeNyke, who attended the school from 1964 to 1966.\n\u201cIt helps the healing for a lot of us guys that are up there in our years now and brings peace,\" said DeNyke.\nMore than 40 boys whose bodies were also recovered in 2015 will be buried starting this weekend far away from the school grounds in a Tallahassee cemetery.",

        "raw_content": "Skin cancer is caused by the development of abnormal cells that have the ability to invade or spread to other parts of the body. Detection and diagnosis of skin cancer is done by a skilled dermatologist using sophisticated equipment called a dermatoscope.\nIt\u2019s 2018 and smartphones are claiming to do a lot of things we didn\u2019t expect including detecting earthquakes and hidden spy cameras. You can now use your smartphone to scan suspicious and innocent looking moles and determine whether they might be potentially cancerous.\nSkin Vision is an app developed by a team of dermatologists from Romania\u2019s University of Bucharest. It uses a similar concept to the one used in dermatoscopy in the hospital. The app is not meant to replace your dermatologist; it\u2019s just meant to raise awareness.\nWith Skin Vision, you\u2019ll take a high quality photo of that strange mole on your skin. Then the app uses a technique called fractal geometry. This technique was used by the developers of Skin Vision to develop an algorithm that analyzes the mole in the picture you upload. It looks for patterns in the outlines and dimensions of a mole that make it more likely to be malignant.\nPotentially cancerous moles have a jagged irregular outline. The app is able to detect this especially when you take a high quality photo of the mole in good light. Potentially harmful moles also have multiple shades of color which will also be picked up by the app.\nSkin Vision will indicate to you whether you should have the mole examined by a doctor. It classes it as high, medium or low risk.\nA study in the Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology in 2015 found that Skin Vision correctly diagnosed 73% of cancerous moles in a sample of 195. Dermatologists correctly diagnosed 88% of the same sample. And the app can only get better with time.\nWhile the app should not replace your doctor, it should help you detect potentially dangerous moles on your skin early enough.

        "raw_content": "Limited spaces for our Bajan inspired St Andrews Day dinner\nOn 30th November 2016, Wedgwood the Restaurant will be honouring its unique links with Barbados by welcoming His Excellency the High Commissioner of Barbados, Rev Guy Hewitt as our Special Guest for a special Bajan tasting menu to celebrate the Caribbean island\u2019s 50th anniversary of independence.\nIt is no coincidence that this is also St Andrews Day in Scotland \u2013 the date was chosen deliberately due to the long association between Barbados and Scotland. There are many, many connections between the two. Not least a \u201cScotland district\u201d with a 900 ft. mountain, a St Andrews Parish and a St Andrews Church. And in the emblem of Barbados, a slave's hand holding up the crossed sugar canes in the shape of the St Andrews Cross.\nIt has been a year of celebration of history and culture in Barbados, and Chef Paul Wedgwood took part of the annual Barbados Celtic Festival as Head Chef in May. Scottish Television filmed the festival and a unique People's History programme all about the descendants of the Scots who still live on the island, descendants of servants purged from Scotland in the 1700s to work in servitude in the sugar industry.\nTo mark the occasion Wedgwood the Restaurant will be hosting this special dinner on St Andrews Day to celebrate 50 years of Barbados independence.\nThe tasting menu will be \u00a340 per head, with very limited spaces so please call or email to book.\nEmail info@wedgwoodtherestaurant.co.uk",

        "raw_content": "Some German iPhone 4S Pre-Orders Delivered Early\nA few lucky customers who pre-ordered Apple's iPhone 4S in Germany got their delivery today \u2014 three full days early. And according to benchmarks that are beginning to pop up online, the phone looks to be wicked fast.\nReaders sent in images of the new Apple device, its packaging and screenshots of Siri to German blog Macerkopf.de. Legitimate-looking benchmarks have also started appearing online, with the 4S clocking in at 68 percent faster than its predecessor, the iPhone 4. Tests also confirmed that the iPhone 4S' graphics processor is seven times faster than the 4's.\nThe new iPhone scored a 677 on Geekbench's benchmarking test, almost double the 370 that the iPhone 4 scored, and not too far under the iPad 2's score of 751. The iPhone 4S and iPad 2 share the same A5 dual-core chip, but the 4S' likely runs at 800 MHz, as opposed to the iPad 2's 1 GHz processor speed.\nThe iPhone 4S has already hit record pre-order numbers of over one million units. Its specs are comparable to those of other major smartphones on the market, like the Samsung Galaxy S II, such as a dual-core processor, 8-megapixel camera and a pixel-packed display (Retina Display in this case, like the iPhone 4). The handset, which was unveiled at a media event last week, will be available on the three largest U.S. carriers \u2014 AT&T, Verizon and Sprint. The 4S will run on AT&T\u2019s HSPA+ network and also comes with GSM and CDMA antennas, making it a world phone.\nThe iPhone 4S will hit stores on Friday, Oct. 14. Pre-orders will also be delivered that day. It's priced at $200, $300 and $400 on contract for 16-, 32- and 64-GB models.

        "raw_content": "Carney, OK Mortgage Rates Comparison\nMany people today are looking to purchase a new home or refinance an existing mortgage in Carney, OK.

Since you do not want to get yourself a raw deal, ensure that your credit score is high enough. This way, you will land yourself the best interest rates.\nWhat Mortgage Loan Options Does a Person Have in Carney, OK?\nFixed rate mortgage loans are ideal for many homebuyers in Carney, OK. They allow a person to have a long-term interest rate and payment that is fixed. It allows a person to budget far off into the future as they know that their monthly payments will not change. Two types of conventional loans are typically available for both individuals. These include the 30 year fixed-rate and 15 year fixed-rate home mortgage loans. While very similar, they do have a few differences. A 30 year fixed-rate conventional home loan is ideal for individuals who may already have some other debt. They can create a lower payment by choosing a 30 year option. The disadvantage is that they will have to carry the debt for 15 more years than they would with a 15 year fixed-rate home loan.\nIndividuals who may be relocated in Carney, OK due to a job change or other reason and know that they will only be living in the area for less than five years, may want to look at the option of obtaining a mortgage with an adjustable rate. The advantage of using an adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) is that it offers a much lower interest rate for the first few years. 3/1 and 5/1 ARMs are a few of the recognized adjustable rate mortgages that people usually choose. In the case of the 5/1 ARM, a person would pay a fixed rate for the first five years that they have the loan, and they would pay a variable rate every year after. In an environment where interest rates are rising, this would not be suitable for someone wanting to stay in their home for a long time as payments would increase each year once the fixed-rate time is over.\nFHA Loans in Carney, OK\nFHA loans are provided by the Federal Housing Administration. This program is managed by the federal government\u2019s Department of Housing and Urban Development, or HUD. In this program, the government insures the lender for any losses that may occur if the borrower defaults on the loan. On the upside, with an FHA loan in Carney, OK, you are allowed to make a down payment of as little as 3.5% of the purchase price. On the downside, you are required to pay for mortgage insurance, which will make your monthly payments larger.\nRefinance Mortgage in Carney, OK\nAfter a person lives in their home for a few years, they may want to check to see if interest rates have fallen to a level that would make it cost effective for them to refinance. Typically, if a Carney, OK homeowner can lower their interest rate by a couple of points, it makes sense to do so. They will also want to take a look at closing costs as those will be included in the process. When a person is refinancing their home mortgage, it is the same as taking out a brand-new home loan. A lender will require the same financial information from a buyer. Again, this is why a person should be diligent about keeping their credit score high. A person will want to take advantage of lower rates if they initially locked in a higher interest rate when they first purchased their home.\nMortgage Rates in Carney, OK ZIP Codes",

Since you do not want to get yourself a raw deal, ensure that your credit score is high enough. This way, you will land yourself the best interest rates.\nThe Different Types of Mortgages Available in Rock, WV\nFor homebuyers in Rock, WV, there is an assortment of mortgage options available. These types of loans are created to suit all sorts of different needs. Here are a few of the most common types and who they will work the best for.\nAdjustable Rate Mortgage Loans: These loans are also known as ARMs. The interest rate on these Rock, WV loans can change over time. In general, the interest rate will fluctuate every year after an initial fixed interest period. This is known as a hybrid product because it starts with a fixed interest rate and switches to a variable interest rate.\nFixed Rate Mortgage Loans: These home loans have the same interest rate for the duration of the loan agreement. If you obtain a fixed interest loan in Rock, WV, your monthly payments will remain the same every month until the loan is completely paid off. This fact does not change even with long-term loans, including a 30 year fixed rate loan. The interest rate and monthly payment amount do not change for the whole term.\nGovernment-Backed FHA Home Loans in Rock, WV\nSome homebuyers in Rock, WV require a little extra help when they are taking on a large mortgage. Typically, these are first-time homebuyers. The government has stepped in and helped homebuyers by creating the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), which backs up lenders in cases when a buyer defaults on their loan. The advantage to a buyer is that they do not have to come up with a large down payment. They may be able to fund just 3.5 percent of the total purchase price. Another government backed loan is a VA loan. It has the advantage of not requiring a person to have any down payment. It also does not require a buyer to pay mortgage insurance. Veterans of the United States military are the only individuals who are eligible for a VA loan.\nOptions for Refinancing Mortgages in Rock, WV\nIf you are looking to refinance your home in Rock, WV, it is essential to comprehend that you are actually applying for a brand new mortgage. This means that closing costs may be your responsibility upon approval of the application. If you are hoping to decrease your interest rate by refinancing, you should evaluate whether the extra fees will negate any savings you gain from refinancing to a lower interest rate.\nThere is an exception to this rule if you are refinancing from an adjustable rate mortgage to a fixed rate option. Since rates are almost guaranteed to increase in the future, a fixed rate loan protects you against rising interest rates. For individuals searching for the best interest rate on their mortgage, it is crucial to be deemed 'low-risk' by lenders. The best way to achieve this status is by maintaining a credit score over 700 and keeping a low debt-to-income ratio. However, even if you fail to meet the most strict standards, you may still qualify for an excellent mortgage rate in Rock, WV.\nCompare Other Services in Rock, WV\nInternet Providers in Rock, WV\nBusiness Phone Service in Rock, WV\nCell Phone Plans in Rock, WV\nHome Phone Service Providers in Rock, WV\nBusiness Internet Providers in Rock, WV\nHome Security Systems in Rock, WV\nAuto Insurance Quotes in Rock, WV\nHealth Insurance Plans in Rock, WV\nMoving Companies in Rock, WV\nArea Codes for Rock, WV\nCable TV Providers in Rock, WV\nMortgage Rates in Rock, WV ZIP Codes",

The following Saturday the 22nd Sunday the 23rd will be the last practice in May. Please be sure to check your e-mail prior to coming out to the field.

Folks, we have to get a grip on losing our dogs. It can create a very dangerous situation. Please come prepared to have your dogs confined except when coursing or cooling down. If you have a new dog that you feel needs to spend some time watching dogs chase the bunny bag, please let me know ahead of time so I can help you do it in from a safe position. And finally, if your dog does not have good recall and it takes us a half an hour to catch after running the lure, please don't bring it to practice. It can be very dangerous for the dog - even tho we are a ways from the main road, we all know how fast sighthounds can cover distance - and it's very frustrating for the rest of the participants waiting for their turn.",

        "raw_content": "Episode 91: Sheryl Thai \u2013 Who run the world?\nThe founder of the League of Extraordinary Women, Sheryl Thai, spends her days bringing female entrepreneurs together. Her mission is, and always has been, to create a space where women can authentically connect, share their success, share their failures, feel inspired, and above all, feel solidarity that there are women out there going through similar shared experiences.\nThe League is also a place where the word \u2018networking\u2019 is prohibited, and any kind of card-swapping is a definite no-no. It\u2019s about women supporting women, and everything that comes along with that. With almost 80,000 followers on Instagram and a keen following online, The League has now reached a point where Thai can let her first business - Cupcake Central \u2013 self-run and financially support her while she works full-time figuring out ways to make female entrepreneurs lives that little bit richer.\nIt was during her five years in IT as a management consultant for a large US firm that Thai really started experiencing gender discrimination in the workplace.\n\u201cAt the time I didn\u2019t feel the glass ceiling, but looking back I\u2019ve realized I was being discriminated against. It was little things, like on Friday nights when the male management team would go out for drinks at a whiskey bar, and I would think, \u2018Why do these guys get the opportunity to mingle with the senior managers and directors when I can\u2019t?\u2019 I was often one of the girls who would go along, and I believe that was why I got my promotions. I knew from a young age it wasn\u2019t what you knew but who you knew.\u201d\nThai considers herself lucky, for being one of the women who went along with the \u2018boys club\u2019 to an extent, but really felt for the women who missed out because they didn\u2019t. Eventually Thai called time on the dog eat dog corporate world and went off to start her own business.\nThe League, pt I\nThe League of Extraordinary Women emerged from not only things Thai experienced while working in the corporate world, but the time spent feeling extremely isolated when Cupcake Central was in its early growth stages.\n\u201cSeven years ago back home in Australia it was unheard of for female entrepreneurs to start a business. I was going through really tough times and didn\u2019t have anyone to talk to. I\u2019d get close to a nervous breakdown every few weeks.\u201d\nAfter reaching out to networking events, Thai quickly learned they were loaded with sales pitches and primarily male-dominated, something that prompted her to widen her search.\n\u201cI wanted to find someone who got me. I thought \u2018surely I\u2019m not the only one in the world feeling like this?\u2019 So I went out and met a couple of women like me who had their own businesses, and we decided to catch up for breakfast every few weeks.\u201d\nIt\u2019s at this point that the penny dropped, and Thai realized other female entrepreneurs were who she needed to be around.\n\u201cWe were being honest with each other and sharing the stuff we normally don\u2019t get to talk about, because we would be trying to hide behind the success we should be showing people out there.\u201d\nAfter a number of successful breakfasts with fellow female entrepreneurs, Thai had the idea to host a larger event, post it to Facebook, and see who turned up.\nAnd so The League began to grow.\nWhy just women?\n\u201cWhen I met these women we felt an energy we hadn\u2019t experienced before. The magic comes from us supporting each other. We were much younger entrepreneurs, mostly in our mid-twenties, and found women in older business groups were very guarded. No one really wanted to talk about how they got to where they were or what they learned.\u201d\nLeague events are carefully thought out, and cater for those deep in a startup, right through to those who are still toying with the idea of starting a business. The carefully chosen speakers aren\u2019t allowed to give advice, instead, they\u2019re asked to share their greatest successes and their messiest failures, something Thai says creates a space for the walls come down and people feel comfortable in their vulnerability.\n\u201cWe run these events in a way that allows everyone to be involved. If someone who is introvert doesn\u2019t want to talk to anyone, but comes along and listens and is inspired, that to us fulfillls our mission.\u201d\nNetworking, networking, networking\nFast forward to August 2016, and Thai found herself at more networking events, this time in San Francisco.\n\u201cI would walk into a room with 300 men and 10 women. There was a frustration that came from not being able to form meaningful relationships, and sometimes it could come across as aggressive because you feel angry.\u201d\nBut she doesn\u2019t let the anger take precedence, saying \u201cIt\u2019s easy to be angry at everyone, but at the same time that isolates you and other people.\u201d\n\u201cI try to find the fine line between being assertive and confident. Eventually, it will stop being \u2018oh, you\u2019re a woman,\u2019 and become \u2018oh, you\u2019re a smart person who\u2019s passionate about what you do.\u2019\u201d\nOld school norms\n\u201cI met an interesting capital-raising founder who told me the track record for VC-backed companies are usually white males who have gone to ivy league schools, so if you\u2019re not part of that realm it\u2019s hard to get funding,\u201d Thai says.\n\u201cIf they\u2019re banking on a company that can make them money they\u2019re going to look at the track record, and this is where bias starts. For me, the challenge is \u2018how can I break through that, make myself heard, and prove I can build a company worth investing in.\u2019\u201d\nWho to pitch?\n\u201cTo be honest I had no idea. I didn\u2019t know about angel funding, seed funding. I started with a big vision of what change I wanted to make. I\u2019ve known since I was a child I wanted to change the world. With The League I had the big picture thinking how can I change the lives of women and support them on their journey? It sounds corny but I feel like I was born to do this, so I started thinking about what it would look like if I had no limitations, and how I could use tech. I knew scalability comes through tech, so I had to use that to create something that could scale worldwide.\u201d\nWhat were you thinking with scalability? Financial, etc\n\u201cDefinitely impact. I\u2019m a firm believer that if you\u2019re doing something with passion and purpose, the money will come. I knew VC\u2019s want to make money at the end of the day, so I worked backwards and thought if I want to make a global impact in the shortest amount of time, I need to go down that route. I knew every year we didn\u2019t have a solution to connect female entrepreneurs.\u201d\nMaking money from meetups\nThe League\u2019s current revenue model is a recurring subscription, where subscribers are charged $12USD per month. Then there\u2019s Find Your Five, a separate branch of The League, where Thai matches women with five others who she believes they could benefit from connecting with.\n\u201cI believe the saying that you are the average of the five friends you hang out with the most. We\u2019re curating these connections based on the stage these people are at in their business,\u201d she says of the app.\n\u201cAt the moment it\u2019s very minimal. I hacked most of it together in a week. I wanted to do it as leanly as possible and see if it worked. We used our community and asked a bunch of questions, and within a week 130 people signed up. The algorithm was me, and on a spreadsheet I would match them up. It took me days to look at what people needed, then create all these little meetups together. Can you imagine matching six women together, who are all running their own businesses? Finding a time and day they were free, then getting one to organize a cafe was really challenging.\u201d\nSelling feelings\nStill testing the current model, Thai has completed three rounds of Find Your Five since October, and has been pitching to investors to fund an app. It\u2019s this search for the right kind of investors that has proven difficult for an app with little hard data to present.\n\u201cThe League has been around for five years and we\u2019ve tried every model under the sun to monetize and grow the company. I fund it myself right now. The costs are covered, but I work for free.\u201d\nSo how does Thai pitch to investors? Well, there have been a sea of case studies compiled over the years, then there are surveys and net engagement scores. If an investor isn\u2019t interested based on that data, Thai knows they aren\u2019t right for The League.\n\u201cI\u2019ve realized to be true and authentic to myself when I pitch. I just need to connect to what I\u2019m saying, what my values are and what my vision is.\u201d\nWatching the magic happen\nCapital-raising struggles aside, Thai says when she sees the impact The League is having, she knows it\u2019s what she\u2019s meant to be doing.\n\u201cCreating a startup isn\u2019t fancy. I could sit back and live off of what Cupcake Central makes, but something inside of me has always wanted to do this. It\u2019ll keep me awake at night if I don\u2019t. The little voice in my head is annoying, but it drives me everyday to work on something that might fail and go nowhere, but I just keep doing it.\u201d\nNo one ever talks about how lonely it is\nBusiness success is glorious, yet it can also be lonely. Isn\u2019t it about time we focused on that part, too?\nSarah Riegelhuth \u2014 Are you going broke slowly?\nSarah Riegelhuth reckons money is less about power and more about being honest and starting early.",

        "raw_content": "May\u2019s new plan \u2018will not solve\u2028housing crisis\u2019\nGovernment measures to help build new homes and end the \u201cstigma\u201d of social rental will fail to solve the country\u2019s housing crisis, an organisation representing town hall bosses has warned.\nThe head of the Local Government Association (LGA) has criticised an announcement by Prime Minister Theresa May of \u00a32bn to build tens of thousands of new homes, saying it does not to go far enough.\nMrs May said the programme would offer housing associations the chance to secure money for projects running from 2022 until 2028/29. The funding for social and affordable housing is separate to \u00a39bn of public funding for an existing programme running until 2022.\nBut Lord Porter, chairman of the LGA, said: \u201cOur national housing shortage is one of the most pressing issues we face. Any new access to funding for housing associations to employ more brickies and less bureaucrats and build more affordable homes is positive but does not go far enough.\nYesterday, Mrs May said social housing had been \u201cpushed to the edge of political debate\u201d under successive governments. She said: \u201cFor many people a certain stigma still clings to social housing. Some residents feel marginalised and overlooked, and are ashamed to share the fact that their home belongs to a housing association or local authority.\u201d\nFigures for 2016/17 show that 3.9m households, around nine million people, are in the social rented sector, some 17 per cent of all households.\nShadow Housing Secretary John Healey said: \u201cThe reality is spending on new affordable homes has been slashed so the number of new social rented homes built last year fell to the lowest level since records began.\u201d\nPolly Neate, chief executive of Shelter, said: \u201cThere are over a million households on social housing waiting lists, and yet last year we built the lowest number of social homes at any point since the Second World War.\n\u201cThis is why it\u2019s good to see the Prime Minister today indicating the Government is starting to get serious about correcting this historic failure. This must be the start and not the end.\n\u201cWhat we need now is more social homes actually being built as well as a big shift in attitude to start viewing social housing as a right for hard-pressed families across the country.\u201d\nComment: Page 18.",

        "title": "EEOC Issues Final Rules on Employer Wellness Programs",
        "raw_content": "Rules Address Incentives; Protect Confidentiality\nWASHINGTON, DC--The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) today issued final rules that describe how Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Title II of the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) apply to wellness programs offered by employers that request health information from employees and their spouses. The two rules provide guidance to both employers and employees about how workplace wellness programs can comply with the ADA and GINA consistent with provisions governing wellness programs in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, as amended by the Affordable Care Act (Affordable Care Act).\nThe rules permit wellness programs to operate consistent with their stated purpose of improving employee health, while including protections for employees against discrimination. The rules are available in the Federal Register at https://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2016/05/17/2016-11558/regulations-under-the-americans-with-disabilities-act and https://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2016/05/17/2016-11557/genetic-information-nondiscrimination-act. EEOC also published question-and-answer documents on both rules today, available at https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/regulations/qanda-ada-wellness-final-rule.cfm and https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/regulations/qanda-gina-wellness-final-rule.cfm, and two documents for small businesses https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/regulations/facts-ada-wellness-final-rule.cfm and https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/regulations/facts-gina-wellness-final-rule.cfm.\nMany employers offer workplace wellness programs intended to encourage healthier lifestyles or prevent disease. These programs sometimes use medical questionnaires or health risk assessments and biometric screenings to determine an employee's health risk factors, such as body weight and cholesterol, blood glucose, and blood pressure levels. Some of these programs offer financial and other incentives for employees to participate or to achieve certain health outcomes.\nThe ADA and GINA generally prohibit employers from obtaining and using information about employees' own health conditions or about the health conditions of their family members, including spouses. Both laws, however, allow employers to ask health-related questions and conduct medical examinations, such as biometric screenings to determine risk factors, if the employer is providing health or genetic services as part of a voluntary wellness program. Last year, EEOC issued proposed rules that addressed whether offering an incentive for employees or their family members to provide health information as part of a wellness program would render the program involuntary.\nThe final ADA rule provides that wellness programs that are part of a group health plan and that ask questions about employees' health or include medical examinations may offer incentives of up to 30 percent of the total cost of self-only coverage. The final GINA rule provides that the value of the maximum incentive attributable to a spouse's participation may not exceed 30 percent of the total cost of self-only coverage, the same incentive allowed for the employee. No incentives are allowed in exchange for the current or past health status information of employees' children or in exchange for specified genetic information (such as family medical history or the results of genetic tests) of an employee, an employee's spouse, and an employee's children.\nThe final rules, which will go into effect in 2017, apply to all workplace wellness programs, including those in which employees or their family members may participate without also enrolling in a particular health plan.\n\"The EEOC received comments on both rules from a broad array of stakeholders and considered them carefully in developing this final rule,\" said EEOC Chair Jenny R. Yang. \"The Commission worked to harmonize HIPAA's goal of allowing incentives to encourage participation in wellness programs with ADA and GINA provisions that require that participation in certain types of wellness programs is voluntary. These rules make clear that the ADA and GINA provide important safeguards to employees to protect against discrimination.\"\nBoth rules also seek to ensure that wellness programs actually promote good health and are not just used to collect or sell sensitive medical information about employees and family members or to impermissibly shift health insurance costs to them. The ADA and GINA rules require wellness programs to be reasonably designed to promote health and prevent disease.\nThe two rules also make clear that the ADA and GINA provide important protections for safeguarding health information. The ADA and GINA rules state that information from wellness programs may be disclosed to employers only in aggregate terms.\nThe ADA rule requires that employers give participating employees a notice that tells them what information will be collected as part of the wellness program, with whom it will be shared and for what purpose, the limits on disclosure and the way information will be kept confidential. GINA includes statutory notice and consent provisions for health and genetic services provided to employees and their family members.\nBoth rules prohibit employers from requiring employees or their family members to agree to the sale, exchange, transfer, or other disclosure of their health information to participate in a wellness program or to receive an incentive.\nThe interpretive guidance published along with the final ADA rule and the preamble to the GINA final rule identify some best practices for ensuring confidentiality, such as adopting and communicating clear policies, training employees who handle confidential information, encrypting health information, and providing prompt notification of employees and their family members if breaches occur.",

        "raw_content": "Edited by David B. Williams (Lehigh University), Alan R. Pelton (Raychem Metals), and Ronald Gronsky (Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory)\nOxford University Press, New York, 1992\nReviewed by Thomas P. Nolan and Robert Sinclair, Materials Science and Engineering Department, Stanford University\nUnderstanding the relationship between the structure and properties of materials has led to an entire new field of science-- materials science--and the development of countless new designer materials used in all fields of engineering. Continued development of this wide range of technologies--from thin films for semiconductors and magnetic recording to structural and high- temperature materials for the space shuttle, and to environment- sensitive biological materials--requires a wide variety of imaging techniques. Techniques must be found to study surface and subsurface features, the structure of living organisms, atomic structure, and elemental and chemical composition.\nAll of these capabilities and more are clearly described and demonstrated in Images of Materials, which presents a stunning view of the new capabilities of modern microscopic techniques to observe and analyze the complicated microstructures of advanced materials.\nThe basic descriptions and beautiful illustrations will captivate anyone interested in microscopy or the internal structure of materials. Even the most experienced microscopist, however, will gain new insight into the latest advances in a wide variety of microscopies.\nEach of the 12 contributed chapters of Images of Materials is a self-contained section focusing on one aspect of modern microscopy and could be read as a separate composition. Topics include advances in classic optical microscopy, modern electron microscopies, and scanning probe microscopies, as well as advances in image processing and analysis. However, this well-conceived compilation reads extremely well as a complete exposition on the subject of microscopy. One cannot help but be impressed both by the advances in the techniques and by the way the appropriate combination of described techniques can meet almost any imaging requirement.\nOne feature of this book is that, although it contains a wealth of information, each section is clearly and concisely presented, with only the limited amount of jargon required to develop each idea. Almost without exception, the combination of the text and well-drawn diagrams makes the basic principles clear to specialists and nonspecialists alike.\nHowever, this book's greatest contribution to the fields of microscopy and materials science may be its beautiful presentation. Microscopy is largely a visual science. Finally, in Images of Materials there is an exposition which demonstrates both that there is beauty in microscopy and that information critical to the development of modern materials is directly dependent on those beautiful images.\nRonald Gronsky is an investigator at LBL's National Center for Electron Microscopy and chairman of UC Berkeley's Materials Science and Mineral Engineering Department. He also contributed a chapter on \"Atomic-Resolution Imaging\" to the book.",

        "title": "PHYSICS AND COSMOLOGY: Into the Heart of a Neutron Star",
        "raw_content": "Cosmologists are finding evidence that the universe, lacking sufficient density of mass to reverse the process of creation unleashed by the Big Bang, will continue to expand forever. However, according to a Berkeley Lab physicist and his international collaborators, the creation process can be reversed in the aftermath of a supernova and should be observable in the universe today. If their theory is true, a state of matter that existed for about one-millionth of a second after the Big Bang has reappeared within the colossal densities of the cosmic anomalies known as neutron stars.\nLearn more about this neutron star\neutron stars are formed out of the deaths of massive stars (several times larger than the sun) so old they burned up all their nuclear fuel. Such stars throw off their outer layers in the mighty explosions known as supernovas, leaving only a core that is generally less than 10 miles in diameter but with a density of hundreds of millions of tons per cubic inch. How dense is that? A piece of neutron star the size of the period at the end of this sentence would weigh about as much as the ill-fated ship, Titanic.\nAccording to Berkeley Lab's Norman Glendenning, an internationally recognized expert on compact stars, it is generally believed that quarks -- the elementary particles that combine to form hadrons such as protons and neutrons -- are liberated when matter is compressed to very high densities.\nPressure within the core of a neutron star is thought to be so tremendous that nucleons (protons and neutrons) burst apart like the popping of balloons. This sets free the three quarks that combine to form each nucleon.\n\"A neutron star, because it is so dense, may be the only natural place in the universe where quark matter exists,\" says Glendenning. \"We may have discovered a way of learning if this (the existence of free quarks) is true.\"\nSome neutron stars spin rapidly - several hundred rotations per second -- causing them to send out regular pulses of radio signals that earned them the name \"pulsars.\" Radio signals from pulsars can be heard on Earth and could be used to confirm some of the theories about the universe in its earliest stages. Glendenning and his colleagues have postulated that the presence of quark matter in pulsars should be detectable by measuring their rates of spin. As pulsars age, their rotation slows. This \"spin-down\" means a loss of outward-pushing centrifugal force, which in turn means further compression of the pulsar's interior until nuclear matter is crushed into quark matter.\n\"First at the center and then in an expanding region, the relatively incompressible nuclear matter will be converted to the highly compressible quark matter phase,\" says Glendenning. \"This conversion to quark matter (which has been likened to the consistency of soup) allows the pulsar to rapidly shrink.\"\nThe pulsar's sudden reduction in size results in a \"spin-up,\" much like rotating ice skaters spin faster when they tuck their arms in close to their bodies. For example, a pulsar spinning at 200 rotations per second might, for a time, spin at 202 rotations per second.\nLead scientist on this project\nLearn more about this researcher\nGlendenning and his colleagues estimate that converting the entire core of a pulsar from nuclear to quark matter should take about 100,000 years. Since there are currently 700 known pulsars, this means that about seven of them could be undergoing this transition now. Pulsar observations are still in their infancy, and many of the known pulsars were only recently discovered. Still, Glendenning and his colleagues believe that spin-ups as a result of nuclear-quark phase matter transitions are a very easy signal to detect and should be observable. The discovery of such spin-ups would be momentous, they say.\n\"It would prove that the essentially free quark state predicted for matter at very high energy densities actually exists,\" says Glendenning. \"The detection of this state would give us a picture of an early phase of the Universe that is based on observation.\"\n- Lynn Yarris\nPrevious | Next | 97-98 Highlights Table of Contents",

        "raw_content": "Galaxy Quest (1999) ***\u00bd\nI\u2019ve never yet met a Star Trek fan who didn\u2019t agree that Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is the best of the feature films in the series, but there\u2019s a fair amount of competition for the #2 spot. The Undiscovered Country, First Contact, and even The Voyage Home have their cheering sections, and I\u2019ll grant that the cases for the first two at least are pretty strong. But my personal nominee for the title of second-best Star Trek movie isn\u2019t actually a Star Trek movie at all. Rather, Galaxy Quest is a parody of the franchise\u2014 and anyone acquainted with the standard of quality prevailing among Trek parodies would be justified in barging in at this point to object that that\u2019s an impossibly tall boast I\u2019ve just made on its behalf. I mean, it\u2019s likely that no other property in all of English-speaking pop culture has attracted more truly dire spoofing than Star Trek, especially if you add up all of the series\u2019s incarnations over the years. Just for starters, consider the Star Wreck books, the throwaway bit with the model starship in Zapped!, and Galaxina\u2019s Mr. Spot. To say that a parody gets the essence of Star Trek closer to right than any but the best of the official films\u2026 well, I don\u2019t blame you in the least for being skeptical.\nYou\u2019ll be even more skeptical once you realize that Galaxy Quest shares the contours of its premise with The Three Amigos. (Keep reading\u2014 it\u2019ll become clear soon enough.) The movie\u2019s title refers not to a literal quest across the galaxy, but to a fictional turn-of-the-80\u2019s TV show that\u2019s sort of a cross between the original \u201cStar Trek\u201d and \u201cStar Trek: The Next Generation,\u201d with maybe a bit of \u201cBattlestar Galactica\u201d sprinkled over it for period-appropriate flavor. \u201cGalaxy Quest\u201d enjoys a cult following similar to that of its real-world inspiration, complete with a convention circuit, a variety of merchandising tie-ins and derivative media, and so forth. Apparently it got even more thoroughly screwed by the network than the 60\u2019s \u201cTrek\u201d series, too, because the last episode produced was the first half of a two-parter; understandably, that episode has rarely if ever been rerun since its initial broadcast in 1982. That\u2019s important for two reasons. First, it means that nobody actually knows what the top-secret Omega 13 device aboard the starship NCSE Protector (which was ordered activated in the final episode\u2019s cliffhanger ending) was supposed to do, and that\u2019s going to be a plot point later. But of more immediate significance, a rare presentation of the episode in question is one of two big attractions at the \u201cGalaxy Quest\u201d convention where we begin our tale.\nThe other attraction, of course, is a personal appearance by all five members of the core \u201cGalaxy Quest\u201d cast. Mind you, only four of them are present at just this moment. Gwen De Marco (Sigourney Weaver, from Ghostbusters and Alien), who played the Protector\u2019s computer operator, Tawny Madison, is at the convention center like she\u2019s supposed to be. So are the perplexingly non-Asian Fred Kwan (Tony Shalhoub, of Men in Black and Thirteen Ghosts)\u2014 known to the fans as the Scotty-like Technical Sergeant Chen\u2014 and Tommy Webber (Daryl Mitchell), who did much of his growing up on camera as the Protector\u2019s teen helmsman, Laredo. Even Alexander Dane (Alan Rickman, from The Hitchhiker\u2019s Guide to the Galaxy and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer\u2019s Stone), the disgruntled ex-Shakespearean who will no doubt go to his grave without ever living down his casting as the alien mystic Dr. Lazarus, has swallowed his anguished pride yet again to don the old finny latex bald cap (although he\u2019ll be goddamned if he lets some schmuck talk him into swearing anything \u201cby Grabthar\u2019s hammer\u201d this time!). But Jason Nesmith (Tim Allen), the star of the show? The only one of the bunch content to keep soaking up the persistent adulation of the \u201cQuestrians\u201d for Commander Peter Taggart? No, that jackass prima donna is nowhere to be found, and convention organizer Guy Fleegman (Sam Rockwell, of Clownhouse and Moon) looks to be just minutes away from a nerd riot because of it. But just like his character always did on TV, Nesmith arrives in the nick of time to save the day\u2014 and to hog the spotlight away from his former castmates.\nThere is one thing out of the ordinary about this convention, though. Among the freaks and obsessives dressed up like this or that species of alien-of-the-week are four who come across as extra-freakish. They introduce themselves as Mathesar (Enrico Colatoni, from Stigmata and AI: Artificial Intelligence), Quellek (Patrick Breen, of Cirque du Freak: The Vampire\u2019s Assistant and The Bleeding House), Laliari (Missi Pyle, from Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters), and Teb (Jed Rees, of Fear and Lake Placid), explaining that they represent the planet Thermia, and are in need of Commander Taggart\u2019s services. Nesmith naturally takes them for just another bunch of overly invested Questrians attempting to hire him for a meet-and-greet, and tells them to sort it out with his agent. He still thinks that\u2019s what\u2019s going on when the four weirdoes come by his house the following morning to pick him up in the limo he instructed them to rent, and he unconcernedly sets about sleeping off a hangover behind his sunglasses as the Thermians launch into some long and baffling (to Jason, anyway) story about Sarris the Conqueror and his war of aggression against their peace-loving planet. Sleeping through Mathesar\u2019s briefing also means sleeping through the limo\u2019s capture by some kind of matter-transporter gizmo, so Nesmith continues to be none the wiser when he awakens aboard the exacting and fully functional replica of the NCSE Protector which the Thermians have built for him to command. Even when the view screen on the bridge presents him with the horrid, reptilian visage of Sarris (Robin Sachs, of Vampire Circus and The Lost World: Jurassic Park), Nesmith proceeds obliviously in his assumption that this is all an elaborate improv scene for a fan video or a TV commercial or whatever. He blithely orders the Thermian helmsman to open fire on Sarris\u2019s ship with everything the Protector has, then scampers off to catch what he expects to be the limo ride to his next promotional gig. Only when the transporter device encases his body in an airtight blob of insulating, pressurized, oxygenated glop before launching him back to Earth does he grasp the reality of what he\u2019s just been through.\nAs soon as the opportunity presents itself, Jason tells his former costars all about his adventure in outer space. They all assume he\u2019s playing a practical joke on them (something of which Jason apparently has as long a history as Gene Roddenberry), and are in no mood to play along. That\u2019s when the Thermians return. It seems Sarris survived Nesmith\u2019s cannonade upon his vessel, and now he has it in for Mathesar and his people worse than ever. Knowing when they\u2019re beaten, the Thermians are pinning their hopes on Commander Taggart\u2019s prowess at the negotiating table; perhaps he can induce Sarris to set relatively humane terms for the Thermians\u2019 surrender. That gets to Nesmith. Now that he knows the real score, he recognizes that the aliens\u2019 plight is to a great extent his fault, and he determines to make it up to them. To hell with surrender\u2014 Nesmith is going to do what the Thermians wanted from him in the first place. He\u2019s going to save their world, damnit! Alex, Gwen, Tommy, and Fred aren\u2019t sure what to make of this surreal conversation, but De Marco eventually gets it into her head that Mathesar and his companions are hiring Jason for some manner of personal appearance. No way is she going to let him cut a deal like that in front of her and the others without including them! Thus it is that the whole Protector crew wind up in the middle of a real-life space war. So, for that matter, does Guy Fleegman, who\u2019s been sniffing along after the main \u201cGalaxy Quest\u201d cast like a lost puppy ever since the convention, desperate for a little recognition for that time he played a nameless, doomed ensign in Episode 83.\nNow it might seem impractical to travel who knows how many light years through space just to recruit a bunch of washed-up TV actors to fight your battles for you, but there\u2019s one thing you have to understand about the Thermians. The poor saps have no concept of falsehood, fiction, or even mythology in their squiddy little minds (their true form is somewhere between the Mars Attacks! aliens and Minoru Kawasaki\u2019s Calamari Wrestler), and they\u2019ve mistaken all those \u201cGalaxy Quest\u201d broadcasts they intercepted way back when for the audiovisual record of an actual human space expedition. What\u2019s more, because those broadcasts reached Thermia at a time of massive social disorder, the aliens were inspired to reshape their entire civilization according to the principles of harmony and personal virtue that they believed were expressed in those transmissions from beyond the void. There\u2019s even a Thermian religious order devoted to the \u201cGrabtharist\u201d philosophy of Dr. Lazarus. So when Sarris and his hordes loomed up to threaten Thermia, where else would they turn for assistance than to the heroes who already transformed their world from afar? It\u2019s just the aliens\u2019 good luck that those heroes turn out to be stand-up folks, even though they aren\u2019t really the people they used to play on television. Let\u2019s take a moment, however, to notice that the Thermians\u2019 inability to grasp the concepts of acting and make-believe opens several serious weaknesses in their strategy. Sarris certainly does\u2026\nThe most effective parodies are always those which proceed from a deep understanding of the material being spoofed. And if that understanding is coupled with an equally deep affection, then so much the better. Most Star Trek parodies (and even a couple of the official Trek spin-offs) go awry through incomprehension and/or contempt, but Galaxy Quest was made by people who got it. Consider the ignoble art of the Redshirt joke. We all know that if a guy you\u2019ve never seen before beams down to the Planet of the Week with Kirk, McCoy, and Spock, you can count on him being dead meat before the end of the pre-credits sequence. In and of itself, it hasn\u2019t been funny since the second or third time somebody observed it, because by now everyone has observed it. But Galaxy Quest is not content merely to observe. It wants to play with the universal recognition that the trope of the Redshirt commands, and one of its best running gags is the morbid certainty felt by the entire crew that Guy Fleegman\u2014 ex-Redshirt that he is\u2014 can\u2019t possibly survive the mission. As Gwen puts it when an excursion to secure a replacement for the beryllium sphere that powers the Protector\u2019s engines starts to go bad, \u201cWe\u2019ve got to get out of here before one of those things kills Guy!\u201d The latter plot detour features a slew of Trek references that go beyond the easy surface gags, too, including a rock monster very like the one that had to be cut from Star Trek V: The Final Frontier on budgetary grounds, several amusing visual digs at William Shatner\u2019s stage fighting technique, and a riff on an especially silly line from the original series fan-favorite episode, Arena. For that matter, the beryllium sphere itself is a double-score nerd shout-out; beryllium is the element that follows lithium (of which the Enterprise\u2019s dilithium crystals are presumably largely composed) on the periodic table.\nGalaxy Quest also pays loving attention to the behind-the-scenes lore of Star Trek. Most conspicuously, Alexander Dane\u2019s thin-skinned resentment over the way Dr. Lazarus has eaten his acting career is analogous to Leonard Nimoy\u2019s attitude toward Spock throughout the 70\u2019s and early 80\u2019s, although Dane has been given a background closer to Patrick Stewart\u2019s in order to make his inability to move beyond Dr. Lazarus sting more. But Galaxy Quest actually gets more mileage out of the fabled bad blood that has flown between William Shatner and so many of his supporting players over the years. The hate-tinged friendship between Jason Nesmith and Gwen De Marco especially captures the tone of Shatner\u2019s post-cancellation relationship with Nichelle Nichols without merely copying all of its details. Let me note as well what a terrific Shatner stand-in Tim Allen makes. Normally, I can\u2019t stand Allen; whether on sitcom television or on the standup stage, he was a Larry the Cable Guy for a less stridently stupid time\u2014 which made his public persona still more than stridently stupid enough for me. This movie, however, makes an asset of Allen\u2019s every arrogant chest-puff and self-satisfied smirk. It turns out he\u2019s great as a second-rate ham who thinks he\u2019s a superstar, yet who still gets away with everything every time because he\u2019s so damn charismatic. The tone of Allen\u2019s performance exactly matches the voice of Shatner\u2019s Star Trek Memories memoirs, a paradoxical register that I can describe only as self-deprecating narcissism. That\u2019s vital for preventing the portrayal of Jason Nesmith from coming across as mere character assassination, even though Nesmith is much worse than the real William Shatner\u2014 and that in turn is vital for the success of this movie as a whole. There isn\u2019t a Trekkie alive at this point who doesn\u2019t realize that Shatner is kind of a jerk, but he\u2019s our jerk, damnit, and we love him.\nOn a related point, Galaxy Quest hits all the right notes in its rendition of sci-fi fandom. That may not sound like much today, but it was a more impressive feat in 1999, when the geeks had not yet inherited the pop-culture Earth. The \u201cGalaxy Quest\u201d conventions on which the main story both begins and ends are spot-on, a mix of festivity, cheesiness, camaraderie, ersatz glamour, quasi-religious fervor, and naked consumerism, all of it shrouded in a simultaneously attractive and pathetic penumbra of suspended adolescence. There\u2019s a realistic range of workmanship on display among the cosplay crowd, from \u201cI could do this for a living\u201d to \u201cI found some stuff that sort of looks like my favorite character\u2019s costume while rummaging through my grandma\u2019s attic.\u201d And while this part is exaggerated for comedic effect, no one who\u2019s ever been involved in fan culture will fail to recognize the obsessive intensity with which the Questrians cultivate an encyclopedic knowledge of their favorite show. Galaxy Quest charmingly makes a plot point of that, too, when Nesmith and the crew are forced to rely on an accidental com-link with a convention-goer named Brandon (Justin Long, from Jeepers Creepers and Drag Me to Hell) to find their way through the ship\u2019s less frequented byways after the Protector is boarded and captured by Sarris and his soldiers.\nAbove all, though, Galaxy Quest is just plain funny, in ways that require no (or at any rate, very little) familiarity with Star Trek, or sci-fi in general\u2014 and remarkably, that remains so despite a round of last-minute re-edits meant to bring the MPAA rating down to PG. The trick is that none of these jokes depend on \u201cadult content\u201d for their success. It isn\u2019t the profane phrasing (much less profane in the final cut) of Gwen De Marco\u2019s reaction to the inexplicable synchronized smashing contraptions in one of the Protector\u2019s service corridors that matters, but rather the almost personal offense that she takes upon finding the deadly yet patently useless things blocking her and Nesmith\u2019s way. Fred Kwan\u2019s unflappably easygoing demeanor earns laughs by sheer incongruity as the dangers facing him and the others mount, even without the justifying detail that he was supposed to spend the entire movie stoned out of his mind. And the romance that develops between him and Laliari generates all the \u201cOh, God\u2014 my eyes!\u201d it needs just from the tentacles that slither up from the edges of the frame whenever they make out. My favorite gag of all, though, was the brainchild of Enrico Colatoni. It was his idea to give the Thermians their indescribable accents, a bit of on-set improv which rightly so charmed the director that it became a fixed part not only of Colatoni\u2019s performance, but of all the actors\u2019 playing the aliens. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever seen a consistent attempt to give extraterrestrials their own foreign accent before, and Colatoni\u2019s version is as endearingly goofy as any you could ask for in a film of this type.",

        "raw_content": "Released as an e-book just before the 2012 presidential election, Democracy Undone shows how the 2000 and 2004 elections were corrupted, and what we can do to combat fraud this time. Our electoral process is rotten: in their quest for private profit, American corporations and billionaires have progressively undermined our democracy. Money is used to sway elections and to buy politicians who are intent upon conducting our nation\u2019s business in their own interests rather than in the interests of the voters who elected them.\nToday our votes are registered, counted and reported largely by electronic machines produced and owned by private corporations. Those machines produce vote counts that are wholly unverifiable by any means, unless one chooses to consider the vote count \u201cverified\u201d by virtue of the fact that the numbers appear on the machine. When citizens groups, election integrity organizations, or public officials ask to examine the machines for evidence of election fraud, the machines\u2019 owners say NO \u2013 the machines are \u201cproprietary\u201d, meaning that they own them and nobody else has the right to touch them without their permission. Yet most Americans have been led to accept these things as natural or benign. Americans need to be much more skeptical about all these things than they have been.\nThis book describes the many ways in which our election system has been corrupted, from the buying of politicians by billionaires, to the spread of self-serving propaganda by our national corporate-owned communications media, to the counting of our votes by machines that produce unverifiable results, to the massive purposeful disenfranchisement of qualified voters.\nThe author is Dale Tavris, MD, MPH, who has worked as an epidemiologist and public health physician in state public health departments, the U.S. Air Force, the Medical College of Wisconsin, and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) since 1979. He has published dozens of scientific articles in medical and public health journals, and two books (\u201cPhilosophy in Epidemiology and Public Health\u201d and \u201cThe Unfulfilled Promise of the American Dream\u201d).\nHis interest in the subject of election fraud was sparked by the results of the 2004 Presidential election, which showed George W. Bush winning the election despite national exit polls that predicted a victory for John Kerry by 2.6% of the national vote, as well as a victory of 4.2% in the crucial swing state of Ohio, which Bush also won. Following that election he used the statistical skills he had acquired in his training and career as an epidemiologist to evaluate the 2004 election (and others) for evidence of election fraud. As a result of his writings on this subject he was invited to participate in a delegation with the purpose of lobbying the U.S. Senate to challenge the results of the 2004 election. While participating in that delegation he met Clint Curtis, a computer programmer and life-long Republican who had recently testified before Congress that he had been asked to write a computer program that would switch votes from one candidate to another. Curtis had written the program and had testified to Congress that he believed his program had been used to switch votes in the 2004 election from John Kerry to George Bush. Curtis told the delegation that his dog had been poisoned in 2002, which he took as a warning to him not to tell what he knew about the vote switching program incident.\nLater Dr. Tavris joined the Election Defense Alliance as its data coordinator, to continue analyzing election related data for evidence of fraud. Articles that he authored or co-authored in that capacity included: An analysis of voter reports which documented the voters\u2019 witnessing of their vote switching from Kerry to Bush on touch screen voting machines; \u201cCoalescing Evidence of Massive Voter Registration Fraud in Ohio 2004\u201d; \u201cFingerprints of Election Theft: Were Competitive Contests Targeted\u201d, and; \u201cExcessive Undervotes in Ohio Diebold Counties \u2013 Senate Race 2006\u201d, among others.\nIn recent years, he has become a prominent poster at several political websites, with an emphasis on election integrity, and currently writes one of the top ten most read journals on the website DemocraticUnderground.com under the screen name \u201cTime for change\u201d. His DU journal can be found here and his private site is here.\nThe book has received pre- and post-release critical acclaim from several key political analysts. \u201cThere could not be a more timely or important book to read this November,\u201d is just one example of what is being said (see reviews on Barnes and Noble and Amazon).\nWill H.I.G.-owned e-voting machines give Romney the White House?\nDale comments on it on Democracy Underground in an article here\nBillionaires and Ballot Bandits by Greg Palast\nOne Response to \u201cNOW AVAILABLE:Democracy Undone\u201d\nrhett o rick says:\nThis is a most important subject.

        "title": "4seating.com Blog: The Films Of Alfred Hitchcock Pt.2: Lost Gems",
        "raw_content": "Part One of this article focused on Alfred Hitchcock's most well known films: Notorious, Rear Window, Vertigo, Psycho. But almost every Hitchcock film is worth watching, and there are some lost masterpieces in his oeuvre which are well worth seeking out. Should you be inclined to sit back in your theater seat, relax and enjoy these lost gems, here's some you may not have heard of, which are well worth the effort to see:\nBLACKMAIL, 1929: Hitchcock's first \"talkie\"--and among the first sound films ever made--was one of his earliest successes, both critically and commercially. A woman murders a man who tries to rape her, and is subsequently blackmailed for it by an unexpected witness. The film sets up several of Hitchcock's later trademarks, including a brief cameo appearance by the director; see if you can spot him. And while the idea of watching such a primitive early film may seem appealing only to movie historians, trust us--with Hitchcock, there's a timeless quality that makes even these very early films a must-see.\nYOUNG AND INNOCENT, 1937: This glorious film begins with the premise of many a Hitch classic--a man wrongly accused of murder, and on the run from the police--but is lighter in tone than many of his thrillers, being focused around the easy humor and repartee between its two main stars, Derrick De Marney and Nora Pilbeam. Nora plays the girl who becomes convinced of the man's innocence, and helps him clear his name. It's a delightful, yet still suspenseful, work that virtually defines the term \"underrated\".\nFOREIGN CORRESPONDENT, 1940: An unjustly overlooked masterpiece, this was one of Hitchcock's first American films, and was a big production for its day. A reporter is caught in a web of WWII-era political intrigue that carries him through several major setpieces, including a climactic plane battle and a memorable scene in a windmill. Technically dazzling for its day, there's plenty of action and suspense, along with deep, scintillating performances by all the main actors. The film was nominated for an Academy Award for best picture in 1941, but lost (Hitch's previous film, the gothic romance Rebecca, had taken honors the year prior).\nSHADOW OF A DOUBT, 1943: Hitchcock peered into the darker side of the American suburban dream in this creepy, low-budget masterpiece which receives no less than a 100% rating on the Rotten Tomatoes website. The director also named it his favorite of all of his films, no doubt due to the flesh-crawling suspense it generates on the sheer strength of the director's genius, without any big-budget production tricks. The story revolves around a teenage girl who comes to suspect her uncle Charlie of being a murderer, and the edgy psychological thrills this ostensibly unassuming film generates may give you nightmares for weeks! Be forewarned...\nLIFEBOAT, 1944: Another WWII-era classic, Lifeboat is a straight-up drama which takes place entirely on a boat at sea, in which the survivors of a downed war vessel must survive until another boat comes to rescue them. As they wait, the tension and animosity between them escalates, becoming a clear insight into human nature. It's an unforgettable, compelling tale filled with Oscar-worthy performances.\nTHE TROUBLE WITH HARRY, 1955: One of Shirley MacLaine's earliest films was this black comedy which once again exposed the dark underbelly of American life. A man turns up dead in a small Vermont town, three of its people each think they are the ones responsible for his death, and everyone tries to cover up the incident from the authorities. It's a seemingly lighthearted farce, but Hitchcock is able to inject his usual disturbing sense of uneasiness throughout. Although it was a box office flop at the time, it was huge in Europe and has since been viewed as one of his best films.",

        "raw_content": "Low Stomach Acid Symptoms\nMost people who are suffering from GERD and other related conditions will first look into excessive stomach acid as the main cause. While this is indeed a common trigger for GERD, it is important to note that the condition can also be caused by insufficient stomach acids. Low stomach acid symptoms are quite similar to the symptoms caused by excessive amounts of stomach acids, and they can be just as damaging and painful.\nLow stomach acid symptoms occur because the entire digestive system relies heavily on hydrochloric acid in order to dissolve the food as it reaches the stomach. When a condition occurs in which a person has an abnormally low amount of stomach acid, the characteristic acid symptoms may result.\nInsufficient hydrochloric acid can adversely affect the digestion of protein, carbohydrates and fat in the stomach. When this happens, the stomach is at increased risk of being overrun by bacteria and fungus, both of which are kept in check by stomach acids. Hydrochloric acid also serves the additional function of helping the body absorb vitamins and minerals more efficiently.\nEven worse than GERD, undigested food that collects in the small intestines and colon can cause an abnormal bacteria buildup as well, and this can cause the liver to absorb too much toxin. This can cause a considerable amount of stress on the system, and a number of health conditions and illnesses may result. Among the low stomach acid symptoms are: fatigue, excessive gas and/or flatulence, headaches, high blood pressure, insomnia, aches and pain, and mood changes.\nIf you are looking for a completely natural way to ease the suffering associated with low stomach acid symptoms, the Reflux Remedy Report is a guide well worth looking into. With the help of this collection of tips and advice, numerous people all over the world have already discovered for themselves why natural methods are often the best choices for ridding the body of stomach acid symptoms.\nOne of the features that make this guide so useful is the organization of these remedies. They are outlined in a step-by-step format, and are very easy to understand. With the help of this guide, you will find proven treatment methods that will help you get rid of low stomach acid symptoms for good, and you do so in a totally natural manner that is free of side effects. The guide also comes with a handy bonus section that offers dozens of reader tips and suggestions on how to get rid of heart-burn related symptoms. Since the guide is available for download you can be well on your way to freeing your body of these ailments within just a few minutes!\nTags: excessive gas, fatigue, flatulence, GERD Treatment, heart burn, hydrochloric acid, low stomach acid symptoms, mood changes, reflux remedy, Stomach Acid\nFiled under Acid Reflux, Stomach Acid by admin",

        "raw_content": "I can\u2019t get no satisfaction (unless I feel accomplished)\nPeople react differently to large amounts of money. Some people like to bask in luxury, others appreciate every hard-earned coin. How is it with us, women? How is it with me?\nRecently, I had the pleasure to sit in a race Porsche worth 3.5 million DKK (550.000 dollars). I had mixed feelings. On the one hand, as I was passing \u201cordinary\u201d people on the street I had a sensation of achieving something. This car gave me the \u201cI made it\u201d feeling. People were looking and I imagined that it was my car and my success. For a fraction of a second, I felt completeness and satisfaction. I had something that only a few people can afford, something to envy.\nTwo scenarios appeared in my head. In the first one, these \u201cordinary\u201d people were looking at that sports car with me in it thinking \u201cWow! She achieved something, worked hard for it\u201d. The second option was \u201cHer face is pretty enough that she can hang out in a car that belongs to a man who worked hard for it.\u201d In this second scenario, they were mocking me. And they were right. I was sitting in this car even though I did not own any part of it. There was a HUGE gap between what my financial situation actually looked like, and only that part was real.\nIf I had not spent hours in front of the mirror figuring out how to be the perfect entertainer, I would not feel the pang of jealousy from others. It feeds us. Driving a better car in better clothes, wearing better jewelry in a better neighborhood. Sugar Babes, who measure high, dislike being seen as \u201cnormal\u201d people. Despite that in most cases they have not achieved spectacular success, they can pull the benefits from others work. There is nothing wrong with that. They may have other things to offer. However, they can still be attributed to this environment. To be \u201cbetter\u201d. Many times I went on an exotic trip being completely broke. People, however, perceived me as a woman of success, which gave me an empty feeling of satisfaction.\nI played the role of a confident woman, fulfilled in professional, private and emotional life. While in actuality my life had no roots or stability. I did not possess anything, neither plans for the future nor material things (except for a few pairs of shoes to loosen my legs). Writing and sharing my experiences helped me to find a purpose and an idea for my future. A combination of passion and pleasure like meeting interesting gentlemen grounded me. So now, instead of imagining owning a Porsche, I may actually own one someday.\nTo sum up, it is nice sometimes to immerse yourself in moments of oblivion and imagine that you are somebody else. Nobody can forbid you. However, it is important to stay firmly on the ground and have a realistic approach to ownership. You really only have what you worked for with your own hands. That will give you a real sense of satisfaction. All other feelings of fulfillment in other people\u2019s realities are just a passing tale.\nI sincerely invite you to leave questions and suggestions on my Facebook page! Thanks to them, we will be able to build a genuine Q&A.",

        "raw_content": "\u201cA terrible accident happened about 10:25 this morning. Mr & Mrs Bovee & their Daughter Ola, Miss Emma Bowden & Miss Lena Wicks all being killed at the Lehigh crossing as they were coming to church.\u201d\nBelow, you will find a newspaper account of the accident along with some picture of Le Roy New York. Please be advised that the Newspaper Account is graphic.\nDemocrat Chronicle\nRochester, Monroe Co., New York\nFive People Instantly Killed at Oatka Station\nWhistles Of No Avail\nA Carriage Struck by a Lehigh Valley Train Which Was Flying\nOver the Crossing at Sixty Miles an Hour --\nFate of the Bovee Family.\nOatka, N. Y., Aug. 20 - The saddest accident in the history of Le Roy occurred at the Lake street crossing of the Lehigh Valley railroad, about two miles from this village, at the station known as Oatka this morning. L. J. BOVEE, wife and daughter, Miss Olla BOVEE, Miss Emma BOWDEN and Mrs. Nancy WICKES were crossing the tracks on their way to the Presbyterian church when they were struck by a fast train going east, and all were killed instantly. Not one of the party spoke.\nTeam No. 614 going east and passing the Oatka station at 10:17 this morning was in charge of J. H. STOWELL, conductor, and BOWMAN, engineer. When some distance west of the crossing the engineer whistled four times, the regular number of whistles for a crossing. Those who saw the accident were D. I. FONDA, station agent and operator, and Lewis BOWEN, who were on the platform of the station. From those people a Democrat and Chronicle correspondent learned the facts of the terrible disaster. Mr. FONDA said Mr. BOVEE and his wife and daughter, and Misses Emma BOWDEN and Nancy WICKS were crossing the tracks when the train whistled. The train was going sixty miles an hour, and just an instant before the train struck the carriage Mr. BOVEE, who was driving, was seen to whip up his team of horses. He failed to get across and the large locomotive struck the carriage, which was a double-covered vehicle, on the forward wheel. One horse was mangled and the other after being struck stood up but soon fell dead.\nThe train was stopped within a quarter of a mile and it backed up to where the accident occurred. Several men were on the scene soon after the accident and gathered up the bodies, which were strewn about the track for a long distance. The body of Mr. BOVEE was carried as far east as the station, where it fell from the pilot of the engine. The body of Miss BOWDEN was thrown between the tracks and her head was severed from her body, the wheels apparently having run over the chest. All five of the bodies were nude, their clothing being torn into strings. Pieces of jewelry were picked up along the tracks and the case of Mr. BOVEE's watch was found _ammed and the works of the watch gone. Some idea can be gained from the fact that some teeth were picked up at some distance from where the accident happened. The bodies were placed on the platform where they presented a ghastly sight. The bones of their bodies were crushed and Mr. BOVEE's skull was crushed in and the brains were strewn on the ground.\nCoroner STONE, of Le Roy, was notified and after viewing the remains, ordered them taken to their late home, a short distance from where the accident happened. Miss BOWDEN was the daughter of Samuel BOWDEN, of New York city, and formerly of Le Roy. He arrived in Le Roy Saturday evening, and was a guest at the BOVEE residence. Miss WICKS was stopping with Mr. and Mrs. BOVEE while her mother and sister were at the Catskill mountains.\nWhen the news of the accident began to spread a large number of people visited the scene where the accident occurred. There is a slight rise in the road, but the track can be seen three-quarters of a mile west. The announcement of the accident was made from the Presbyterian church at the close of the morning services, and a large number of the congregation returned home without stopping for Sabbath school. The carriage in which the unfortunate people were seated was smashed into splinters and parts of the gearing thrown a long distance. Undertakers George G. STEUBER and Henry STEUBER had charge of the remains.\nThe accident is the most serious that Le Roy has had and the worst railroad accident since the accident occurring on a crossing of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western railroad, about three miles south of Le Roy village some five or six years ago, when Mr. and Mrs. Albert HENDEL were killed. No arrangements have been made for the funeral as yet. Mr. BOVEE was a member of the firm of L. J. BOVEE & Co., dealers in lumber, with their main office at Le Roy. The blame seems to rest on Mr. BOVEE, as the engineer whistled and when he saw the danger repeated the signal. The crossing is a dangerous one, however. When the news of the accident had spread about town the many young friends of Miss BOVEE and Miss BOWDEN were dumbfounded. Miss BOWDEN was a graduate of Ingham university, at Le Roy. Mr. BOVEE was about 60 years of age and owned considerable property, among which is a handsome residence in the northern part of Le Roy township. The accident entirely expunged the family, with the exception of one daughter, who was notified of the accident soon after it happened.\nMr. BOVEE was born at Attica, N. Y., and is survived by one brother, El_n BOVEE, of Stone Church, and one sister residing at Aurora, N. Y., also one step-brother, Winfield MAPES, of Attica. Mrs. BOVEE was an estimable lady and her tragic death will be mourned by a host of friends. A coroner inquest will probably be held at 10 o'clock Monday morning. The team of horses driven by Mr. BOVEE was quite valuable. All day a large crowd visited the scene of the accident and numbers of relics were carried away. Mr. BOVEE had crossed the same crossing many times and often went to Buffalo over the Lehigh Valley. The accident is the first since the road was built at this point.\nMiss Emma BOWDEN was the youngest daughter of Rev. Samuel BOWDEN who for many years was pastor of the Reformed Presbyterian church in York, Livingston county. After retiring from the pastorate in York.

The theme, of the lone coyote, or wolf, always being an outsider, alone in the cold, appealed to me as a kid and perhaps even more so today.\nAnother take on the lone wolf, pondering his estrangement.

        "raw_content": "Awareness, Sex\nSexual Fluidity in Women\nCredit: QCMississippiMud.com via EverydayFeminism.com\nIn certain circles I have found myself in recently, I have felt a pressure to be so self-aware and self-reflective at such a young age that it seems as though you have to fully know your entire sexuality. While the individuals in these circles certainly recognize sexual fluidity in an academic sense, sexual fluidity in the practical application comes across as naivet\u00e9 and even ignorant. I have noticed a pressure to define the self \u2013\u201cI\u2019m trans*, I\u2019m pansexual, I\u2019m gay\u201d\u2013granted, there are more boxes to fit into, but a box nonetheless. The vulnerability that accompanies sexual fluidity is real and frightening, and it is not readily acceptable to say \u201cI\u2019m still figuring it out\u201d in regards to your sexuality even among enlightened, educated, seemingly-accepting groups.\nSeeing homosexuality as a \u201cphase\u201d is an opinion that has bothered me in the past, but an analysis entitled \u201cGender Differences in Erotic Plasticity: The Female Sex Drive as Socially Flexible and Responsive\u201d by Roy Baumeister may have transformed my thinking. Although it does trivialize and insult the experiences of lifelong lesbians, the \u201cjust a phase\u201d notion may have some value. The concept of sexual plasticity indirectly endorses the idea of lesbianism as a phase, but instead of thinking of it as one singular phase, we should think in a more pluralistic sense that our sexualities consist of multiple, intertwined phases.\nIdeally, we could restructure our understanding of female sexuality so there is less pressure to define the self and cramp our fascinating, complex, surprising sexualities into little boxes. The concept of bisexuality, especially in regards to long-term relationships, leads to an interesting question. Is bisexuality a phase? It is rare to encounter an individual who identifies as bisexual and who has been in a monogamous relationship for several years or even decades. At what point does a bisexual woman start identifying themselves as gay or straight, depending on their chosen partner? It has been suggested that female erotic plasticity evolved as an evolutionary adaptation. Sexual fluidity is advantageous through periods of life transition such as a romantic separation, having a child, the death of a partner, getting a new job, or general aging, and can help women adjust their sexual needs and expectations depending upon circumstances. A study indicated that from puberty onward, men tend to keep their rate of orgasms relatively constant throughout the lifespan, either through masturbation or partnered sex, while women\u2019s frequency of orgasms tends to reflect her fluctuating sexual desire and expectations and thus erotic plasticity.\nSexual fluidity is even displayed in popular television such as Orange Is the New Black, which is based on the story of Piper Kerman, a middle-class woman sentenced to prison after transporting drug money. In prison, Piper reunites with her drug-dealing girlfriend, despite being affianced to her male partner, out of sheer desperation for human contact and warmth. Piper\u2019s return to lesbianism because of her situation may be termed \u201cgay behind bars\u201d, but other new language has been created to reflect women\u2019s sexual flexibility. Words such as \u201chas-bian\u201d, \u201cheteroflexibility\u201d, and \u201cLUG\u2013lesbian until graduation\u201d are all coming into our current vernacular. A term I heard recently used in relation to a man, but could also be applied to women, is \u201cGIFFY,\u201d meaning \u201cgay in five (fucking) years\u201d. This acronym can be used to describe an individual who identifies as straight but acts otherwise, who the speaker believes will finally come out years later. This language may be seen as degrading or useful. While it only perpetuates stereotypes, reinforces the idea that timing is intimately tied to lesbianism, and forces people into boxes, this language is frequently created and used by the queer community.\nEditors\u2019 suggestions for additional reading:\nSexual Fluidity: Understanding Women\u2019s Love and Desire by Lisa M.

        "raw_content": "Fostering financial inclusion is a highly complex challenge in Asia. This is one of the most diverse regions in the world, where countries vary significantly in per capita GDP and population size, with a dizzying array of cultural, linguistic, religious and ethnic diversity. A \u201cmagic bullet\u201d approach to advance financial inclusion is therefore highly unlikely to be successful in Asia. A key theme that emerged from research projects conducted under the auspices of the Mastercard\u2013SMU Program of Financial and Social Inclusion is that a context specific approach is needed, which in turn requires deep operational insights and local knowledge.\nIn this regard, we believe the private sector has a unique opportunity and responsibility to make a positive difference \u2014 leveraging its assets for social good \u2014 whether that\u2019s funding important research or advancing financial and social inclusion in partnership with the non-profit sector and with governments.\nThe ultimate objective for financial inclusion is inclusive growth. Financial inclusion is just one of the means, a very important one at that, for all participants in the economy to reach their true productive potential. In this context, the poor are poor because they are stuck in low productivity activities, not being able to access many indispensable inputs, including basic services like water, electricity, and affordable transport; as well as financial services and associated information and knowhow. Said another way, the growing wealth gap isn\u2019t about any differences in ability per se but the poor\u2019s lack of access to critical conditions and resources.\nIn this regard, advancing inclusive growth is therefore tantamount to \u201cdemocratizingproductivity.\u201d The rich and diverse research findings being generated by the Mastercard-SMU Program on Financial and Social Inclusion are therefore extremely valuable to guide our work going forward. The next step is for us to summarize and synthesize the insights and lessons learned and to publish them as a book later this year for the use of practitioners, business executives, government officials, as well as researchers working on financial and social inclusion in Asia and beyond.",

        "raw_content": "Posted by Boris on February 2, 2017 at 5:20pm\nA former Obama administration official, now linked to a Soros-funded foundation, has suggested Donald Trump be declared mentally unfit to hold office or overthrown in a military coup.\nRosa Brooks, who served as Counselor to the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy from 2009-2011 and as a senior adviser in the State Department, outlined four ways to remove President Donald Trump from office, most notably by having him declared mentally unfit for office or by launching a military coup.\nBrooks now serves as the Schwartz senior fellow at New America, formerly the New America Foundation, a think-tank heavily funded by globalist billionaire George Soros. The Board of Directors of New America is currently chaired by Google CEO Eric Schmidt.\n\u201cAre we truly stuck with Donald Trump,\u201d Brooks asked in her posting for Foreign Policy. \u201cIt depends. There are essentially four ways to get rid of a crummy president.\u201d\nBrooks went on to outline four ways to remove President Trump from office, including impeachment, declaring him mentally unfit for office, or b having the military overthrown him in a coup.\nWhile waiting for the next election in 2020 is possible, Brooks argued that after \u201csuch a catastrophic first week, four years seems like a long time to wait.\u201d\nImpeachment, while an option, \u201ctake time: months, if not longer \u2014 even with an enthusiastic Congress.

The film will be screened together with, \u201cPerception\u201d, another Harrington feature which focuses on the imagination and also features the talents of Ursula Maria. \u201cUrsula Maria is the kind of performer director\u2019s dream of directing\u201d, says Harrington. \u201cIt\u2019s not just her relentless desire for perfection but also her malleability and desire to deliver exactly the performance the director had conceived. Her almost obsessive attention to detail and specificity in the characters she develops is a measure of her artistry\u201d. Making the best use of her talents, Imag-in, which Harrington and Maria co-wrote and Maria choreographed, cleverly uses only music, dance and the performing talents of Maria to tell the story\u2026there is no dialogue at all. (www.facebook.com/imaginmovie)\nStill of Ursula Maria in Imag-in\nCopyright- Imotophoto\nBorn, Ursula Maria Windhager in Linz in Austria, Ursula began performing at the young age of 13. She is an award winning performing artist, who is also a trained dancer, specializing in Jazz-dance, Hip Hop and Ballet. Ursula began teaching dance classes and then moved on to becoming a successful performing artist and model in Vienna, Austria at the age of only 16. Her big break came when she was chosen as a finalist in a Nike women\u2019s dance contest and successfully auditioned for \u201cBroadway Connection\u201d performing arts school. Upon also getting her Bachelor\u2019s Degree in Theater, Film and Media Studies, Ursula relocated to Los Angeles to study at the famous Stella Adler Academy of Acting, the illustrious home of actors such as Marlon Brando and Robert De Niro, Selma Hayek and Benicio Del Toro.\nUrsula Maria on the Set of Imag-in\nCopyright Stan Harrington\nStan Harrington, born Stelios Georgiadis, hails from Melbourne and is a multi-award winning Producer, Writer and Director. He has produced and directed twelve award winning films and has authored \u201cA Guerilla In The Midst\u201d, a book on the art of independent filmmaking, published in 2007 by the Sundance Media Group and released at the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) in April of the same year.

Thus this portion of the stream has variable salinity and electrical conductivity over the tidal cycle.

The UN and western international human rights organizations followed suit.\nTheir blackout of the insurgents\u2019 responsibility could not be avoided otherwise those sponsors would be held accountable as well and consequently could not continue their support to the insurgents with impunity, because without their support the insurgents would not have survived.\nTheir reluctance to arm the Syrian rebels with advanced weapons lest they fall into the hands of the terrorist organizations could not cover up their initial and ongoing arming and recruitment efforts, which empowered the militarization of the peaceful civilian protests with its most extreme Syrian and non-Syrian insurgents.\nOn last April 8, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay was quoted as saying in a briefing to the UN Security Council that the actions of the forces of the Syrian government \"far outweigh\" the crimes by the \u201copposition\u201d fighters.\nStatistics Tell a Different Story\nHowever, scrutiny of the statistics of the death toll and the facts of the humanitarian fallout of the conflict tell a different story. On this May 19, the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) said it had documented more than 162,000 deaths in the conflict until this May 17, more than 61 thousand of them were government troops, 42,701 rebels and more than 1600 foreign fighters; SOHR believes that both sides of the combat strongly tend to be very conservative about their human casualties. The rest were civilians many of whom were victims of suicide bombing and mortar shells fired by the rebels.\nThe breakdown of these figures show the government a victim rather than a culprit and indicate that the actions of the rebels \u201cfar outweigh\u201d those of the government, contrary to Navi Pillay\u2019s conclusion.\n\u201cQuestioning the Syrian \u2018Casualty List\u2019\u201d in the Lebanese Alakhbar on February 28, 2012, Sharmine Narwani documented that, \u201cThe very first incident of casualties from the Syrian regular army that I could verify dates to 10 April 2011, when gunmen shot up a bus of soldiers travelling through Banyas, in Tartous, killing nine,\u201d i.e. few weeks after the first peaceful protests broke out in Syria, a fact which questions the now wrongfully accepted public knowledge that the government was the party who initiated the \u201cviolence.\u201d\nThe communiqu\u00e9 issued by the eleven western and Arab foreign ministers of the core group of the so-called \u201cFriends of Syria\u201d after their meeting in London on this May 15 was the latest example of the political motives behind the blackout, which they have imposed for too long on the insurgents\u2019 responsibility.\nThey called the upcoming presidential elections on next June 3 \u201cillegitimate\u201d and a \u201cparody of democracy,\u201d ignoring the fact that any power vacuum in Syria would only create the right environment for the collapse of the central government.\nThe inevitable result would be an exacerbation of the humanitarian crisis in the country, rendering their humanitarian rhetoric a parody of humanity.\nWorse still, the eleven \u201cFriends of Syria\u201d had \u201cagreed unanimously\u201d to boost their support to what they described as \u201cthe moderate opposition National Coalition (SNC), its Supreme Military Council and associated moderate armed groups.\u201d\nWhat \u201cmoderates\u201d did they refer to? On last September 25 the BBC quoted a recent study published by IHS Jane's analyst Charles Lister, which concluded that, \u201cthe core of the Syrian insurgency is composed of Islamist groups of one kind or another.\u201d \u201cThe armed opposition is all too much a part of the conflict,\u201d Red Maistre wrote in The Northern Star four days later.\nThree years and three months on, the \u201cFriends of Syria\u201d failed to bring the \u201cregime\u201d down. On the contrary, it has got the military upper hand, while the organizations which the U.S. and Saudi Arabia had listed as terrorists got the upper hand in the rebel-held areas.\nWhatever military supplies the \u201cmoderate\u201d rebels could get will only prolong the war, postpone any political settlement and perpetuate and exacerbate the worsening humanitarian crisis.\nCivilian protesters, political opposition and \u201csecular\u201d armed rebels were hijacked, sidelined and finally dumped by the mainstream terrorists, whose backbone consists of \u201cforeign fighters,\u201d thus dooming any political solution for a long time to come and vindicating Syrian President Bashar al-Assad\u2019s determination on last August 4 that, \u201cNo solution can be reached with terror except by striking it with an iron fist.\u201d\nAs early as March 2012 Sara Leah Whitson, Middle East director at Human Rights Watch, had warned that, \u201c\u201cThe Syrian government\u2019s brutal tactics cannot justify abuses by armed opposition groups.\u201d\nSchools, universities, hospitals, health clinics, churches, mosques, religious monuments, power grids, railways, bridges, oil fields, historical sites, museum assets, police symbols of public safety and order and other infrastructure were targeted by the rebels with unprecedented level of destruction and civilian plight.\nA survey, conducted by the Relief and Works Agency of UN's Microfinance Programs and released early last April, said it would take 30 years for the Syrian economy to recover to its 2010 level.\nAccording to the SOHR, the infighting among rebels has claimed more than five thousand casualties in 2014. The infighting over border crossings and oil fields displaced more than one hundred thousand civilians in north eastern Syria during the past month.\nAs a strategy, the rebels since the very beginning have been using Syrian civilians en masse as a bargaining chip and as human shields, a fact which the \u201cFriends of Syria\u201d have been keen to blackout.\nOn this May 12, rebels have agreed to free 1,500 families whom they had kidnapped and held hostages in Adra, a suburb of the capital Damascus, for the release of rebels jailed by the government. Two weeks ago they freed some one hundred infants, children and elderly men and women in exchange for evacuating the Old City of Homs unharmed.\nOn May 4, they cut off water supply to some three million civilians in Syria\u2019s second largest city of Aleppo, a collective punishment reminiscent of a similar horrible practice by Israel in Beirut in 1982. Last month the rebels cut off the electricity supply. For less than two years now they have been bombarding the western side of the city, which is under government control, with mortar shells and turning the civilian life there into a nightmare of suicide and tunnel bombings from the eastern side, which they control.\nRule, Not Exception\nThese inhuman tactics are not the exception, but the norm and rule. Since the very beginning of their rebellion in March 2011, rebels stormed into Syrian city centers, where there was no official military presence, and used the civilian population as human shields against any retaliation by the government forces, thus unleashing what the United Nations described as the world\u2019s largest refugee problem.\nCivilians have paid the higher price. Syrians now hold the rebels responsible for their plight. Their sectarian public incubator has already turned against them in favour of restoring the missing safety, security and order by the government.\nAll factions of the rebels claim they are the representatives of the Muslim Sunni majority, but the overwhelming majority of some six million Syrians who are displaced internally are Sunnis, now hosted by non-Sunni compatriots in safe havens under government protection, let alone more than three million refugees who are also overwhelmingly Sunni Syrians and fled to neighbouring countries from the areas held by the rebels.\nIt\u2019s a well-known fact now that creating a humanitarian crisis in Syria, whether real or fabricated, and holding the Syrian government responsible for it as a casus belli for foreign military intervention under the UN 2005 so-called \"responsibility to protect\" initiative was from the very beginning of the Syrian conflict the goal of the U.S.-led so-called \"Friends of Syria' coalition.\nA second fact was the rush to militarize the Syrian civilian peaceful protests. When President al-Assad issued in 2011 the first of his six general amnesties, former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton went on record with a public appeal to armed rebels not to lay down their arms in response.\nIn March 2014 a commission of inquiry mandated by the United Nations Human Rights Council, chaired by Paulo Pinheiro, for the first time accused the insurgents in Syria of \u201ccrimes against humanity\u201d and \u201cwar crimes.\u201d\nOn this May 14, Syrian Rev. Michael Rabaheih, from the Greek Orthodox Church, was quoted by The Washington Post as saying: \u201cIf this is freedom, we don\u2019t need it.\u201d\nRabaheih was one of some 80,000 Christians who returned to the Old City of Homs, which the opposition once proudly called \u201cthe capital of the revolution,\u201d but which the rebels were forced to evacuate this month. He was seated next to the grave of the Dutch priest, Frans van der Lugt, who was assassinated by the rebels a few weeks earlier, not far from the gravely damaged historic Khalid ibn al-Walid mosque in the devastated neighbourhoods of Syria\u2019s third largest city, where \u201clittle was left.\u201d\nObviously, the \u201cFriends of Syria\u201d have failed to artificially create any credible alternative to the incumbent regime, which, however, did change indeed.\n* Nicola Nasser is a veteran Arab journalist based in Birzeit, West Bank of the Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories.

        "raw_content": "Hampshire SO23 9LS\nOne of the best Church of England cathedrals to visit in southern England is Winchester Cathedral. This spectacular medieval church is one of the largest in England, with the longest nave and greatest overall length of any Gothic cathedral in Europe.\nThe soaring stone interior is filled with historic Anglo-Saxon relics, beautiful carving, unusual artefacts and spectacular tombs. It is the final resting place of such famous people as St Swithun, the Norman king William Rufus (1087-1100) who was killed by a stray arrow during a hunting expedition in the New Forest, the 16th century fisherman Izaak Walton, and novelist Jane Austen.\nThe memorials and chantry chapels are covered in more detail in our article entitled \u2018Memorial Chapels & Graves\u2019.\nThe Cathedral is open every day of the year for worship, except for necessary closures. Visitors are welcome to attend services.\n- Cathedral, crypt and treasury\nMonday \u2013 Saturday: 09:30 \u2013 17:00 hours\n- The Morley Library, Winchester Bible and Triforium Gallery\nAs part of the Capital Works Project in the South Transept, the Triforium Gallery, Morley Library and Winchester Bible are now closed and due to reopen in August 2016. However one volume of The Winchester Bible is on show as part of a temporary exhibition in the north transept.\n- Dean Garnier Garden\nThis tranquil and beautifully planted small garden, which stands on the site of the monks\u2019 dormitory off the Inner Close, is normally open between 09:00 \u2013 16:00 hours. If you find it is closed when you visit, please contact the Virgers on Tel: +44 (0)1962 857 226\nVisitor Admission Prices\nAdmission tickets include a free guided tour of the Cathedral, Treasury, Crypt and are valid for 12 months. The Cathedral receives no funding from State or Church so it is reliant on contributions from the public.\nFor detailed information please visit the cathedral website,\nor call Tel: +44 (0)1962 857 225.\nCapital Works Closures\nNow over 1,000 years old, the building is undergoing major capital works restoration. The lead roof, the 16th century roof timbers and 14-15th century stained glass windows are all being attended to. Also, new exhibitions and displays are being created. All this work necessitates some closures of the cathedral. For closures, go to Web: Winchester Cathedral/ Closure Notices External Link\nThe first cathedral founded was in Anglo-Saxon times (642 AD). By 971 AD, a monastic community had grown up around the \u2018Old Minster\u2019. The Minster was the Anglo-Saxon cathedral for the diocese of Wessex and then Winchester from 660 \u2013 1093 AD.\nThe stone Minster was constructed in 648 AD for King Cenwalh of Wessex and Saint Birinus. It was enlarged and redecorated over the years and Saint Swithun was buried outside it in 862 AD.\nIn 901 AD, a \u2018New Minster\u2019 was built close beside it and dedicated to St Swithun. During the monastic reforms in the 970s the cathedral was enlarged and Saint Swithun's body was taken into an indoor shrine in what had become the largest church in Europe.\nHowever, after the Norman conquest of England, Bishop Walkelin built a new cathedral alongside and the \u2018Old Minster\u2019 was demolished in 1093. Many of the kings of Wessex, England, and bishops, had been buried in the old minster, so their bodies were exhumed and re-interred in the new building.\nExplore one of the oldest parts of the Cathedral by stepping down into the crypt. This superb low-vaulted stone crypt, which floods in rainy months, dates from the 11th century and is the least altered part of the Norman building.\nThe crypt provides a stunning setting for Antony Gormley\u2019s sculpture Sound II. This mysterious life-size statue of a man, sometimes standing up to his knees in water, contemplating the water held in his cupped hands is the work of the celebrated British sculptor Antony Gormley. The sculpture is fashioned from lead out of a plaster cast of the artist\u2019s own body.\n- Crypt Tours\nJoin a Guided Tour to learn more about the crypt and its contents. Tours runMon \u2013 Sat at 10:30, 12:30 and 14:.30 houea. Duration: 20 minutes Price: Included in Cathedral admission. Tickets available from the Entrance Desk.\nPlease note: During the wet winter months the crypt can flood. If this is the case tours cannot be conducted , but you can still see the crypt from a viewing platform.\nThe \u2018Old Minster\u2019 was excavated in the 1960s. The outline of the building now is laid out in brickwork in the churchyard adjoining Winchester Cathedral. Saint Swithun's first grave is clearly marked. Finds from the site may be seen in the Winchester City Museum. The bones of the monarchs removed to the cathedral are now housed in the famous mortuary chests.\nThe Mortuary Chests\nFor centuries six carved and painted chests have been held in the cathedral, originally on the top of the Sanctuary screens, and latterly in the Lady Chapel.\nThey contain bones and skulls of 11 or 12 people, believed to be the Anglo-Saxon Kings of Wessex and England and their Queens. Also contained in the chests are thought to be the remains of three Anglo-Saxon Bishops.\nA project is currently underway to scan and analyse DNA from the contents of the chests to try and discover whose remains are actually in the boxes. It will be wonderful to finally learn the truth.\nTo discover more about these remarkable Mortuary Chests and their fascinating history visit our article on this website in the \u2018Hidden Gems\u2019 menu.\nSaint Swithun\u2019s Shrine\nVisitors to the cathedral can find St Swithun\u2019s memorial shrine and icons in the retro choir.The shrine was only moved into the retro choir itself in 1476.The shrine was demolished in 1538 during the English Reformation. The current shrine standing on the site is a modern representation of it.\nThe Retro Choir\nThe retro choir was built in the early 13th century to accommodate the huge numbers of pilgrims wishing to visit St Swithun\u2019s shrine and enter the 'holy hole' beneath him.\n14th Century Renovations\nThe mid-14th century saw a surge of rebuilding under the bishoprics of Eddington and Wykeham. Edingdon removed the two westernmost bays of the nave, built a new west front and began the remodelling of the nave.\nUnder William of Wykeham the Romanesque nave was transformed, re-cased in Caen stone and remodelled in the Perpendicular style, with its internal elevation divided into two, rather than the previous three, storeys. The wooden ceilings were replaced with stone vaults.\nChantry Chapels\nThe Cathedral is famous for its beautiful chantry chapels, where daily masses were said for the souls of the powerful bishops who built them. A total of seven, were added between the 14th and the 16th centuries. This is more than any other English cathedral, reflecting Winchester\u2019s great power, wealth and royal connections in this period.\n15th-16th Century Work\nWykeham's successor, Henry of Beaufort, carried out fewer alterations, adding only a chantry chapel on the south side of the retro-choir, although work on the nave may have continued through his episcopy. His successor, William of Waynflete, built another chantry in a corresponding position on the north side.\nUnder Bishops Peter Courtenay (1486\u20131492) and Thomas Langton, there was more work. De Lucy's Lady Chapel was lengthened, and the Norman side aisles of the presbytery replaced. In 1525, Bishop Richard Foxe added the side screens of the chancel which he also gave a wooden vault. With its progressive extensions, the east end is now about 110 feet (34 metres) beyond that of Walkelin's building.\nCathedral Treasures\nThe Cathedral is home to some particularly rare, precious and beautiful items, each with a special place in its long history.\n- The Winchester Bible\nThe Winchester Bible is the largest and finest of all surviving 12th century English bibles. A single scribe wrote out its text in Latin, while artists worked its exquisitely illuminated capital letters. Their glowing colours, including gold and lapis lazuli, are as intense today as 800 years ago.\nThe whole Bible was originally bound in two volumes, and would have been too heavy to carry around. It has been re-bound several times and now consists of four volumes, with oak boards and leather backs. It is normally held in the Cathedral Library but during the Capital Works project, only one volume is on display in the north transept.\nThe bible was commissioned in 1160, probably by Henry of Blois, and was laboriously produced in the great priory linked to the Cathedral, where sacred texts were copied out for use in daily worship. The manuscript remains unfinished, giving invaluable insights into the complex processes needed to create it.\nThe text, in the Latin of St Jerome, is handwritten on 468 sheets (folios) of calf-skin parchment, each measuring 23 by 15.75 inches (583 x 396 mm). These sheets were folded down the centre, making 936 pages in all. It\u2019s estimated that the hides of some 250 calves were needed. This kind of parchment was expensive \u2013 so to save space, the writer often shortened words, and each new book of the Bible starts on the same page as the last.\nIt was copied by a single scribe, probably using a goose feather quill \u2013 the best available \u2013 and then checked. You can still see the corrections made by a second monk in the margins. Each page was ruled in advance, to ensure the layout remained the same. As he wrote, the scribe held a pen knife in his left hand to press down the springy parchment. He also used it to sharpen his quill, and scrape out any mistakes.\nWhen the text had been written, but before the main art work began, coloured initial letters were added at the beginning and end of each chapter. Red, green and blue ink was used. Six freelance artists, probably travelling professionals, painted the glorious initial letters you see at the start of each book of the Bible, each telling a different story. A total of 48 letters were completed.\nExpensive pigments were used, including sumptuous gold leaf or paint to make the pictures sparkle. The blue lapis lazuli would have been even more expensive \u2013 it came from Afghanistan. Not all the illuminations were finished. Some are rough outlines, or just inked in. Others have been gilded, but not painted.\nOver the years, the manuscript has suffered at the hands of thieves and collectors. Some nine illuminated initials and at least one full-page illustration have been removed entirely.\nThis great work of art is now a national treasure, both for its beauty and what it reveals about its creation.\nThis writer\u2019s father was a calligrapher who produced several illuminated scrolls for important occasions. He used the same tools as the ancient monks \u2013 goose feather quill pens, a penknife to scratch out mistakes and powdered pumice stone to polish and restore the calf-skin surface. He used wafer-thin gold leaf for the illuminations. Samples of his work can be seen at Gloucester Cathedral in the County War Memorial Chapel.\n- Tournai Marble Font\nOn the north side of the nave can be found the font. Baptisms are regularly conducted in this ancient, polished dark stone font, brought from Tournai, in modern Belgium, in the 12th century. It is said to have been the gift of Henry of Blois, the French-speaking grandson of William the Conqueror and Bishop of Winchester.\nThis massive font, carved from a single block weighing about 1.5 tonnes, dates from about 1150. Around the bowl it is lavishly decorated with scenes from the legendary life of St Nicholas alongside images of symbolic animals such as lions and birds.\nSt Nicholas was generally associated with acts of kindness, especially to children, and pictures and sculptures were a vivid way of communicating important messages. The font\u2019s carvings work a bit like a modern cartoon strip. Several different stories are depicted, but you can always spot St Nicholas by his bishop\u2019s mitre and crozier, a stylised shepherd\u2019s crook symbolising his care for his flock.\nThe font\u2019s upper \u2018marble\u2019 section sits on a stone base with four corner pillars \u2013 but it is not real marble, a term once used for any stone that took a polish; it is in fact made of carboniferous limestone quarried in Tournai, and was probably shipped to England in separate pieces.\n- The Triforium Gallery in the South Transept\nThe gallery houses precious artworks including the Shaftesbury Bowl, the only surviving example of late Saxon glass in England. It also contains a charming 15th century sculpture of the Madonna and Child and an imposing head of God the Father, both part of the original medieval statuary of the Great Screen. For opening times please check the Capital Works Closures link above.\n- The Morley Library in the South Transept\nYou can find this beautiful 17th century library at the top of a staircase in the south transept. It houses the Cathedral\u2019s collection of rare books bequeathed by Winchester\u2019s Bishop Morley, and still boasts its original carved shelves. He also left money to buy of \u2018two globes of the best and largest size\u2019, one terrestrial and once celestial. For opening times please check the Capital Works Closures link above.\nMany famous and remarkable people are buried and memorialised in the Cathedral.\nThe Fishermen\u2019s Chapel\nFamed during his life as a biographer, Izaak Walton (c. 1594\u20131683) is now remembered for his much-loved treatise on the joys of fishing, The Compleat Angler. His grave and stained glass image are in the Chapel of St John the Evangelist and the Fisherman Apostle.\nGreat West Window\nThe cathedral's huge mediaeval stained glass West Window was deliberately smashed by Cromwell's forces following the outbreak of the Civil War in 1642. Churchmen gathered up the broken glass and after the Restoration of the Monarchy in 1660, the window was reconstructed. The glass was inserted randomly \u2013 mosaic style - with no attempt being made to re-create the original pictures; it must be the earliest example of collage!\nAs a matter of interest, somehow some of Winchester\u2019s unique blue medieval glass has found its way to The Abbey Museum of Archeology near Brisbane, Australia.\nPre-Raphaelite Stained Glass\nWonderful examples of glass designed by Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones and made in William Morris's workshop can be found in the Epiphany Chapel. The foliage decoration above and below each pictorial panel is unmistakably William Morris and at least one of the figures bears a striking resemblance to Morris's wife Jane, who frequently posed for Dante Gabriel Rossetti and other members of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.\nJane Austen\u2019s Grave\nThe celebrated novelist, Jane Austen (1775-1817), lies under the floor of the north aisle of the nave. Her simple tombstone records her personal virtues and stoicism, but makes no mention of her writing.\nWilliam Walker\u2019s Memorial\nIn the crypt is a bust of William Walker MVO (1869\u20131918). Walker was a deep-sea diver who single-handedly shored up the waterlogged foundations of the Cathedral thus preventing its collapse.\nAlthough much of the present cathedral is Norman, the crossing tower is not. The original tower collapsed in 1107. It was replaced with a much lower tower still in the Norman style, with round-headed windows. It is a squat, square structure, 50 feet (15 metres) wide, but rising only 35 feet (11 metres) above the ridge of the transept roof.\nThe Tower is 150 fee (45.7 metres) tall and affords splendid views over the city and surrounding countryside. Climb the 213 stone steps to the top of the tower and on the way you will see the ringing chamber, the great Cathedral bells and walk the full length of the nave roof with its huge wood beams.\nAdmission is by Guided Tour - participants must be over 12 years of age and medically fit. The tour lasts 1.5 hours. Tour times, prices and tickets are available from the Entrance Desk. If making a special visit it would be wise to book a tower tour by calling Tel: +44 (0)1962 857 275.\nYes with the exception of the Tower.\nGuided Tours, Audio Guides, Caf\u00e9, Gift Shop and toilets.\n- Audio Guides are an excellent way to receive information at your own pace. The Winchester guide is narrated by actor, David Suchet and lasts 45 minutes-1.5 hours depending on how much time you want to spend exploring the cathedral and its treasures. Available from the Entrance Desk.\n- The Cathedral Refectory Caf\u00e9 with its pretty walled garden is located behind an ancient flint wall opposite the Cathedral. It is open from:\nApril \u2013 December: Monday \u2013 Sunday: 09:30 \u2013 17:00 hours\nJanuary \u2013 March: Monday \u2013 Sunday: 09:30 \u2013 16.30 hours\n- Cathedral Gift Shop is located directly opposite the Cathedral\u2019s main entrance, in a pretty single-floor restored coach house. It is open from:\nApril \u2013 December: Monday \u2013 Sunday: 09:30 \u2013 17:30 hours (18:00 hours during the Christmas Market)\nWinchester Cathedral External Link\nThe Cathedral lies right in the centre of the city which has excellent road and rail links. See the 'Getting There' directions on the \u2018Winchester\u2019 article in this website.\nPlease note there is no parking within the Cathedral Close or the immediate vicinity.\nGoogle Maps - Winchester Cathedrals",

        "raw_content": "Xi issues China's first-ever decree on training of PLA to improve combat reediness\nPresident Xi Jinping has signed China's first-ever decree on training of the country's two million-strong military, the world's largest, to improve the combat readiness of armed forces, official media reported on Tuesday. Xi, 65, regarded as the most powerful Chinese leader after Mao Zedong heading the ruling Communist Party of China (CPC), the military and Presidency, has signed an order to release a trial regulation on the supervision of military training, the first of its kind in the country. The regulation, which will take effect on March 1, focuses on improving the combat readiness of the People's Liberation Army (PLA), state-run Xinhua news agency reported.\nIt formulates measures to rectify practices that are inconsistent with the requirements of actual combats. It also details the criteria for identifying malpractices and discipline violations during military training. The regulation also states the responsibilities, power and priorities of military training supervision and regularises the methods and procedures for carrying out such work. Since coming to power in 2012, Xi has been carrying out aggressive reforms of the military, which included real time combative training, reorganisation of the command structures as well as downsizing the army, ramping up Navy and Airforce to enhance China's strategic global outreach. The Chinese military which has an annual budget of over USD 175 billion is investing heavily in modernisation of the navy.\nWhile the navy is being expanded with aircraft carriers, observers say battle ships and submarines are being added on almost monthly basis. China has one aircraft carrier, another undergoing sea trial and the third one is being constructed at a feverish pace. Official media reports say China plans to have four to five aircraft carriers in the near future. A recent report said Beijing plans to have four nuclear aircraft carriers. In terms of aircraft, China is building new jets for the aircraft carriers, besides stealth planes. President Xi has also been pushing the military into real time military exercises emulating battle conditions. The new decree on training came amid reports of criticism on lack of rigorous training of the PLA troops with new hardware which could prove costly in real battle conditions.\nTraining, not hardware, is key to military preparations and size is not everything in modern warfare and it is the people who use these weapons that count, Wang Yunfei, a retired Chinese naval officer said in a rare public appraisal of the levels of training of PLA Navy and Air force which he said were inadequate compared with Japanese troops. Comparing the skill training put in by Japanese pilots flying new generation aircraft, Wang said he saw them training even in murky and overcast conditions. \"In China, [our military planes] would not have taken off [for training] if the cloud was lower than 400 metres above ground,\" he told Hong Kong- based South China Morning Post on Tuesday. Wang, now a naval armament expert, pointed out that size was only one determining factor in modern warfare, and hardware could only answer part of the question as China raced to catch up with leading powers like the US and its top allies, including Japan.",

        "raw_content": "TERESA D. WELLS,\nPlaintiff Teresa D. Wells appeals from the denial of supplemental security income benefits. She argues that the administrative law judge (ALJ) erred in finding that she does not suffer from chronic fatigue that interferes with her ability to perform the full range of sedentary work, and inappropriately shifted the burden back to her at step five to establish that she could not perform sedentary work. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. \u00a7 1291 and 42 U.S.C. \u00a7 405(g), and affirm.\nPlaintiff was born on October 23, 1963, and was diagnosed with adult onset diabetes in May 1992. She requires insulin and has been prescribed exercise and a specific diet to help manage her disease. She alleges that she has been disabled since October 7, 1993. She has a seventh grade education, and has worked in the snack bar at a Walmart store and at a Dairy Queen.\nThe ALJ denied plaintiff's claim at step five of the evaluation sequence. See generally Williams v. Bowen, 844 F.2d 748, 750-52 (10th Cir. 1988). He concluded at step three that plaintiff did not meet any of the listings, and decided at step four that plaintiff could not return to her past type of work. He then determined that plaintiff nevertheless retains the residual functional capacity (RFC) to perform the full range of sedentary work unlimited by any significant nonexertional impairments. He noted in particular that one of plaintiff's physicians was of the opinion that she was not disabled \"'unless lack of common sense is an indication for a grant of disability.'\" Appellant's App., Vol. II at 22 (quoting March 18, 1993 letter of Robert H. Hazelwood, M.D., Appellant's App., Vol. II at 155). Based on vocational testimony and the medical-vocational guidelines, the ALJ concluded that plaintiff is not disabled. The Appeals Council considered additional medical evidence but denied review, making the ALJ's decision the Commissioner's final decision.\nPlaintiff then brought this suit. The magistrate judge found no error and recommended that the Commissioner's decision be affirmed. The district court summarily adopted the magistrate judge's recommendation.\nWe review the Commissioner's decision on the whole record to determine only whether the factual findings are supported by substantial evidence and the correct legal standards were applied. See Goatcher v. United States Dep't of Health & Human Servs., 52 F.3d 288, 289 (10th Cir. 1995). We may not reweigh the evidence or substitute our judgment for that of the agency. See Kelley v. Chater, 62 F.3d 335, 337 (10th Cir. 1995). Substantial evidence is \"more than a mere scintilla. It means such relevant evidence as a reasonable mind might accept as adequate to support a conclusion.\" Richardson v. Perales, 402 U.S. 389, 401 (1971) (quotation omitted).\nUnder these standards, we find no error in the ALJ's factual findings or legal analysis. Plaintiff maintains that her alleged chronic fatigue is caused by blood sugar readings over 200. Although the medical evidence is not completely one-sided, substantial evidence shows that plaintiff has high blood sugar only periodically in the evening, and her diabetes is otherwise well controlled. See, e.g., Appellant's App., Vol. II at 181-83, 187, 200. Because there is substantial evidence showing that plaintiff's blood sugar is not persistently high, the ALJ's finding that plaintiff does not suffer significant fatigue is also supported by substantial evidence. This is not a case in which the ALJ relied on \"the absence of evidence\" to reach his decision. See Thompson v. Sullivan, 987 F.2d 1482, 1491 (10th Cir. 1993). He did not improperly shift the burden at step five back to plaintiff. Rather, plaintiff had the burden at all steps of the sequential evaluation process to provide objective medical evidence that her blood sugar is persistently high. See 42 U.S.C. \u00a7 423(d)(5); 20 C.F.R. \u00a7\u00a7 416.908, 416.912, 416.928.",

        "raw_content": "Dodging the censors \u2013 an ungagged recipe to rescue Fiji\u2019s national pension fund\nHOW BIZARRE. The Fiji censors have gagged a perfectly reasonable and well-argued article about how ordinary Fijians can help their much-maligned national pension fund. Almost two years ago, the University of the South Pacific economist and former MP Professor Wadan Narsey penned an article in The Fiji Times about the \u201ccircling coup wolves\u201d, which were putting the Fiji National Provident Fund at risk. His accompanying cartoon depicted the FNPF as a cash cow laden with pensions with a bunch of wolves snapping at its hooves. (By law, some 16 percent of Fijians wages and salaries must be paid into the fund - savings amounting to F$2.5 billion and with assets on paper worth $3 billion). The introduction said:\ncontributors and pensioners should be concerned. Perhaps worried. Perhaps frightened. Because our FNPF life savings are under threat.\nWhile outlining the threatening wolves and the potential harm they could cause the FNPF, he also pointed out the lack of representation for the country\u2019s contributors and pensioners:\nWe the FNPF contributors who own the savings do not have a single direct representative on the FNPF board who can be accountable to us. Why don't we?\nWe remain quiet at our peril.\nBut this fresh article on Pacific Media Centre Online today has a far more positive tone, more in the vein of what Fijians can do for the country\u2019s fund (to rescue it) rather than what the fund can do for them. A visionary recipe for development. Yet the regime\u2019s censors gagged the article from a Fiji Times edition last week \u2013 they \u201ctook it away and didn\u2019t return it\u201d. Narsey says:\nCan Fiji National Provident Fund contributors and pensioners assist it become more viable?\nWith a stagnating economy, FNPF revenues have been severely constrained. Few new jobs have been created and existing incomes have not grown; many loans are non-performing; returns on FNPF investments have been declining; and large amounts of capital values have been written off because of mismanagement.\nBut collectively, FNPF contributors and pensioners remain the largest group of spenders in the Fiji economy.\nHere is the challenge: can FNPF contributors and pensioners direct their consumption expenditure towards FNPF investments, and change FNPF policies for the better?\nAnd Narsey made a number of suggestions about how the fund can be restructured, provide fairer representation and also about strategic help. This was a very positive and constructive article. As the author notes:\nWhy would the Bainimarama regime ban this article from a daily newspaper? What greater damage is being done to our people\u2019s welfare which the papers are stopped from reporting, every day? Why do we Fiji citizens continue to suffer this daily loss of our basic human right to freedom of expression, without even a whimper?\nFiji\u2019s draconian media censorship has to stop.\nHelping rescue Fiji's national pension fund, despite media censorship\nLabels: development, fiji coups, fiji times, fnfp, pensions, wadan narsey\nFiji rugby scandal and a stake in French Euro club dominance\nIN AN extraordinary development, the Fiji Rugby Union\u2019s entire board is resigning next month in a funding scandal to clear the way for the military-backed regime to hand over threatened funding for the Rugby World Cup in New Zealand later this year.\nThe regime had threatened to withhold F$3 million in pledged grants for World Cup unless the board quit following an official probe by the consumer watchdog Commerce Commission had found the union had mismanaged a fundraising lottery.\nSport Minister Filip Bole said the RFU would elect new officials at a special general meeting before the end of February.\nMeanwhile, a host of Fiji rugby players plying their trade in France have made a key contribution to the French clubs\u2019 domination of the European competitions. At the start of this weekend, French clubs topped three of the six pools in the top-tier Heineken Cup while French clubs also headed all five pools in the second-tier Challenge Cup pools.\nThe article below from the Wall Street Journal sums up how \u201cbig money, star players and English tactics\u201d have given French rugby unprecedented domination of global club rugby.\nPictured is Toulon's Gabriele Lovobalavu playing against Stade de France (taking on the opponent in pink). He was voted seventh on Rankopedia out of the top 11 Fiji players in France in the 2009 Top 14 competition. (Clermont Auvergne's Napolioni Nalaga was voted top Fiji player.)\nFRENCH RUGBY RULES EUROPE\nBy Jonathan Clegg\nNot so long ago, European rugby union was dominated by English teams whose gameplans involved kicking for field position and tackling anything that moved. But not anymore.\nIn today's club game, the best teams have three things in common: star-studded rosters, a swarming defense, and they all play in France.\nBetween them, French clubs provided four of the eight quarterfinalists in the Heineken Cup last season\u2014a record\u2014as Toulouse won its fourth title. Nobody else has more than two.\nThis week, as club rugby's biggest tournament resumes, French teams top three of the six pools in the Heineken Cup and five out of five in the Challenge Cup. In European competition this season, clubs from the country's Top 14, the top division, have a combined winning percentage of .707 and a record of 41 wins, one draw and just 16 defeats.\nIt's a period of unprecedented dominance, but will it last? The French say the commercial clout of their clubs and the passion for the game will sustain it. But spiralling salaries and a new homegrown player quota instituted by the Ligue Nationale de Rugby, which governs the professional game, could pull the country's soaring teams back down to earth.\nNevertheless, for the moment, France has stolen the game of club rugby from the rest of Europe and it doesn't look likely to give it back anytime soon.\n\"I don't know if it will right itself,\" said Jim Mallinder, the Northampton Saints director of rugby. \"The gap is certainly there and it's quite evident. It has become increasingly difficult [to compete].\"\nIt wasn't always like this. Though France supplied the Heineken Cup's first two winners\u2014Toulouse and Brive\u2014it couldn't maintain that dominance. Toulouse has won a further three titles, but no other French club has triumphed since 1997\u2014a period in which four English clubs and all three participating Irish provinces lifted the trophy. In the 2008-09 season, France has just one representative in the Heineken Cup quarterfinals.\nThe chief reason for the turnaround is that French teams once famed for their flair have developed a reputation for discipline and punishing defense.\nFrance has always produced players with the capacity to dazzle on a rugby field, but that style was rarely accompanied by steel. These days, that's changing. When London Saracens played Clermont Auvergne in a Heineken Cup game last October, for example, Clermont recorded 121 tackles to Saracens' 50 as the French team prevailed.\nIndeed, there have been more tries on offer in the Aviva Premiership and the Magners League, with an average of 3.61 and 3.72 per game respectively, compared with 3.46 scored in the Top 14 so far this season. \"The French teams have become more English in their approach,\" said Serge Blanco, the former France national team player and now president of Biarritz. \"The Top 14 clubs now play a game that combines running rugby with disciplined defense. They've learned to be streetwise.\"\nBut for all their physical strength, French clubs owe much of their success to financial muscle. Armed with a rich domestic television deal and booming attendances, the Top 14 teams operate on an entirely different economic level to their cross-channel counterparts.\nFrance introduced a salary cap of \u20ac8 million ($10.4 million) per club this year, a figure which dwarfs the wage ceiling of \u00a34.2 million ($6.6 million) in the Premiership. In addition, salaries in French rugby have risen tenfold in the past 15 years. The average wage in the Top 14 is now \u20ac132,000\u2014almost 60% higher than the Premiership average of roughly \u00a375,000.\nCombined with the strength of the euro against the pound, that purchasing power has made French clubs hugely competitive in the international transfer market. In the past two years, superstars like Francois Steyn, Carl Hayman and Jonny Wilkinson have all been recruited from overseas clubs.\nThe influx of big-name players has produced other advantages: In France, the average crowd for Top 14 matches this season is 13,493, an increase of 2.5% on last season. By contrast, figures released by Premier Rugby this week show that Magners League and Aviva Premiership attendances are down 7% and 4% respectively compared with the same stage last season.\n\"There are more people watching and more interest in the newspapers,\" said Philipe Saint-Andr\u00e9, the Toulon coach. \"It looks a little bit like the English Premier League.\"\nFrench teams have also developed deeper reserves of talent. While Leicester Tigers, the English title-holder, named a squad of 33 players this season, clubs in the Top 14 can have as many as 45 players at their disposal. Clermont, the reigning Top 14 champion, included 30 international players in its nominated squad list of 38 for the current campaign.\nAll of which helps to explain how the French championship came to replace England's Premiership at the pinnacle of club rugby: Since Premiership clubs first participated in the Heineken Cup in 1997, England had always been represented in at least one European final. Last year, that sequence was broken during a dismal campaign as England provided just one quarterfinalist\u2014its worst record in 13 years of continental competition.\nYet some people are starting to wonder whether French rugby's reign is built to last. Salaries in France have risen by roughly a third since 2007 and Mark McCafferty, the chief executive of England's Premier Rugby, warns that the level of spending is unsustainable.\n\"I don't think it's sustainable position, but it will take three, four more years to work its way through,\" McCafferty said.\nThe spiralling cost of competing has already claimed some casualties: Montauban was thrown out of the Top 14 last year and relegated to the amateur leagues after failing to provide evidence that it could clear a \u20ac1.7 million financial shortfall in its season budget.\nIf heavy spending doesn't tackle French dominance in Europe, new player quotas might. Starting this year, Top 14 clubs will have to increase the number of homegrown players in their squads to 50%, rising to 70% next season in an effort to safeguard the future of the national team. In addition, many clubs French clubs see the domestic championship\u2014which dates back to 1892\u2014as more important than the quest for European glory.\n\"For me, the Heineken Cup is not the priority,\" said Mourad Boudjellal, the Toulon president, ahead of his club's game against Munster on Sunday. \"I am first a child of the [Top 14] championship.\"\nBut whatever the future holds for the rugby teams in France, the era of French superiority in Europe shows no sign of coming to an end just yet.\n\"The French teams are still the ones to beat,\" said Will Greenwood, a former England player and now a rugby analyst. \"It's almost impossible to pick anyone else.\"\nFrench rugby rules Europe - Wall Street Journal\nLabels: filip bole, rugby, rugby world cup, sport\nDon't let the numbers get in the way of a good story, Fiji Sun\nMORE from Croz Walsh, this time a scolding for the Fiji Sun for doing a hack job on an \"exodus\" of doctors. And more evidence on how many Pacific journalists - all over the globe, for that matter - are challenged when it comes to numeracy. Walsh writes the \"botched figures\" items:\nYou can't altogether blame the moderate anti-government blog Fiji Today for getting its facts wrong when it reported: \"Recent statistics released by the Ministry of Health shows that out of the 850 trained doctors in the country 400 have left for greener pastures last year.\" They were merely quoting the Fiji Sun. But they said this equated to more than one doctor per day and really rubbed it in by adding \"Good one, Frank. You are building a better Fiji.\" Click on both hyperlinks above to check that I've got this right, and then read on...\nThe figures they cite are completely wrong, and the journalists responsible have no good excuse because they should immediately have queried obviously suspicious figures and because there were quick ways to do so. I looked at the figures and thought 850 trained doctors? Fiji only has 8000 teachers and they can't possibly outnumber doctors by only 10:1.\nSo I checked the Bureau of Statistics website that showed there were only 416 doctors in 2009, and as a further check I consulted the Ministry of Health's website. Their Strategic Plan for 2011 states that it aims to maintain the number of doctors at 54 per 100,000 population. This would give 480 (not 850) doctors in an estimated 2010 population of 888,000. So the Fiji Sun and Fiji Today are way off the mark.\nAnd then, incredibly, they made a second error by saying the loss of 400 doctors occurred in one year, when the figure is for the past 10 to 15 years, that gives a loss of between 40 to 27 doctors a year. Still a large number but locally graduating doctors and overseas recruitment should make up much of the loss.\nI hope the Fiji Sun and Fiji Today editors blush with shame.\nAnd give their reporters and subs an in-house statistics workshop.\nCroz Walsh on Fiji\nLabels: fiji sun, fiji today, health, journalism education, statistics\nUnmasking the Fiji blogger facade\nCROSBIE WALSH has speculated on his upfront Fiji blog this week about the identity of an unnamed CoupFourPointFive spokesperson in an interview with Bruce Hill of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. Hill also spoke to Attorney-General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum on the topic of New Zealand media reports last November suggesting that PM Voreqe Bainimarama had \"died\". Of course, Bainimarama had the last laugh. The latest issue was about a planned complaint to the NZ Press Council about the false reports \u2013 a worrying trend considering that this could be the fourth time in two years that Pacific governments are exploiting the New Zealand media standards bodies to \u201cchill\u201d current affairs reporting. Also, the \"action\" item has been apparently ignored by NZ media. But Walsh also raised an ethical issue over why shield the identity of a blogsite commentator, a journalist who is clearly not at risk?\nWalsh\u2019s blog drew an interesting response from the \u201cThe ABC of getting it wrong\u201d on the dubious granting of anonymity in these circumstances. The correspondent wrote:\nConventional practice in news and current affairs has it that interviewees should only have their identities concealed when there is a clear threat to their positions and the information being imparted is of such importance that there is a clear public interest in granting them anonymity.\nThe ABC would undoubtedly argue that one of the principals of Coup 4.5 deserves the cloak of anonymity because of the possibility of government retribution. But that's where any justification ends and even this depends on whether the person being interviewed was actually in Fiji and within striking distance of the alleged bully boys of the military.\nIs he in danger on the streets of Auckland or Sydney? Not on the evidence thus far. Not only do regime critics thrive there but there's no indication whatsoever that Frank Bainimarama is a Saddam Hussein who orders death squads to pursue his opponents abroad. So how hazardous is this individual's position beyond being unmasked as a regime critic? Would he be captured, tortured and forced to reveal the secrets of 4.5? Maybe in Fiji in more fevered minds but nowhere else.\nWhere the ABC is really vulnerable to criticism and complaint is that this person's contribution to the debate was so pedestrian. Merely parroting the usual anti-regime line meant that nothing of what he said met the public interest test. There was no new information of such pressing urgency that the public benefited from hearing from the man with the mask.\nNow, one might argue that I am anonymous in these columns. But this is comment, not news, an important distinction. And in any event, the whole world accepts that an entirely different set of conventions applies to the Bloggersphere. When it comes to news and information programs on a mainstream public broadcaster like the ABC, the audience clearly deserves better.\nYes, there are times when whistle-blowers deserve anonymity in the public interest, as well as their own, but this wasn't one of them. The whistle wasn't being blown on anything. Bruce Hill and his editors allowed a run-of-the-mill regime critic to sprout run-of-the-mill anti-regime criticism and in doing so, debased not just an importance convention but the credibility of the ABC.\nAlthough Walsh - a retired professor who founded the development studies programme at both Massey University and the University of the South Pacific - does not have a media background himself, he manages to pose some searching questions about the contemporary nature of news and current affairs reporting in the Pacific region. And Caf\u00e9 Pacific believes these questions are ignored at our peril. A day after the \u201cmasked interview\u201d comment, another correspondent raised the issue of youth and absence of social-political memory and context among many journalists reporting today:\nA recent editorial by Fred Wesley in The Fiji Times reminded me of how little collective memory is brought to bear on current events. In a piece on someone who'd managed to reach the ripe old age on 101, Wesley wrote in apparent awe that there were still people in Fiji who could remember the assassination of John F, Kennedy, the British colonial era and Fiji's independence. I've yet to reach three score years and can remember all three! You go back a lot longer and have accumulated much more knowledge. As the old saying goes, those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.\nBut in the case of Fiji, it's the appalling general ignorance of the past that produces the same mistakes again and again. You've now got to be 23 years old to have even been born at the time of Rabuka's 1987 coup. And you've got to be 40 to have been born at Independence. Is it any wonder that these events are now regarded as ancient history and irrelevant to peoples' lives?\nMedia reports of Bainimarama's death sparks complaint - ABC's Pacific Beat\nI'm still alive, says Fiji PM - Fiji Broadcasting Corporation\nLabels: abc, bruce hill, coupfourpointfive, crosbie walsh, fiji coups, fiji times, identity, journalism ethics, sitiveni rabuka, voreqe bainimarama\nDodging the censors \u2013 an ungagged recipe to rescue...\nFiji rugby scandal and a stake in French Euro club...\nDon't let the numbers get in the way of a good sto...",

        "title": "A Flat-Out Sensational Lie - the candler blog",
        "raw_content": "A Flat-Out Sensational Lie\nAugust 5th, 2014 Journalism\nAlmost three years ago, while taking another writer to task for an unprovoked swipe at Heeb (where I used to serve as Arts Editor), I referred to Tablet Magazine as \u201cThe New Yorker of the Jewish publishing world.\u201d In the ensuing years, though, this description hasn\u2019t really held up. The outlet has turned into a home for linkbait and short, traffic-jacking posts. Does Tablet publish any good content anymore? Yes. Does it excuse their offenses (which I find to be more numerous)? Of course not.\nI feel compelled to call out Tablet for a cowardly, false and unconscionable article published August 1st.1 Titled \u201cNew York Times Slams Its Own Pulitzer-Prize Winning Photographer In Gaza, [subhead:] Says Legendary Photojournalist Tyler Hicks is Bad at His Job,\u201d the piece was published unsigned, using only the tag \u201cStaff Notes\u201d to mark any form of authorship. The headline is a sensational lie that doesn\u2019t even match the article\u2019s own broken logic.\nThe baseless headline comes from the following statement given to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency by Eileen Murphy, the Times\u2019 head of communications,2 when asked why there are so few photos of Hamas militants in the Times:\nOur photo editor went through all of our pictures recently and out of many hundreds, she found 2 very distant poor quality images that were captioned Hamas fighters by our photographer on the ground. It is very difficult to identify Hamas because they don\u2019t have uniforms or any visible insignia; our photographer hasn\u2019t even seen anyone carrying a gun.\nI would add that we would not withhold photos of Hamas militants. We eagerly pursue photographs from both sides of the conflict, but we are limited by what our photographers have access to.\nIn no way does Murphy even come close to suggesting Hicks is \u201cbad at his job.\u201d Regardless of your opinion as to whether or not the statement is accurate or representative, calling it a \u201cslam\u201d is a flat-out lie.\nAnd that says nothing of the piece itself which asserts right up front, pseudo-couched in the falsehood that a New York Times spokesperson said as much, \u201cPulitzer Prize-winning photographer Tyler Hicks really sucks at his job.\u201d\nTyler Hicks, who photographed the Syrian uprisings before carrying the body of his colleague Anthony Shadid out of Syria, really sucks at his job. Tyler Hicks, who ran into Westgate mall in Nairobi when he heard shots fired and captured the horror and panic of a terrorist attack in progress, really sucks at his job. Tyler Hicks, who, while covering the overthrow of Qaddafi in Libya, was held prisoner and told by his captor, \u201cYou have a beautiful head. I\u2019m going to remove it and put it on mine. I\u2019m going to cut it off,\u201d really sucks at his job.\nHicks\u2019 many plaudits and experiences do not shield him from criticism. But perhaps they should give one pause before lobbing baseless ad hominem attacks because his work does not fit your narrative.\nTablet\u2019s unnamed author hooks on to the word \u201caccess\u201d in Eileen Murphy\u2019s statement.\nHow does being dependent on Hamas for your daily access\u2013not to mention your life\u2013potentially impact coverage? Well, the fact that the Times has only two distant, grainy, unusable images of Hamas gunmen from Tyler Hicks tells you all you need to know, doesn\u2019t it.[sic]\nI\u2019m not sure what the author sees as the alternative, here. Hicks\u2019 access isn\u2019t limited in the way an entertainment journalist\u2019s access is limited, i.e. the interview is over if you bring up the starlet\u2019s ex-husband. \u201cAccess\u201d in a war zone means life or death. A photojournalist cannot work if s/he is dead. The top priority, always, should be getting home with the story in tow.3\nToday, in an interview with James Estrin on the Times\u2019 Lens Blog, Hicks roundly answers critics of his work, like Tablet:\nThis is a war fought largely behind the scenes. Hamas fighters are not able to expose themselves. If they were to even step a foot on the street they would be spotted by an Israeli drone and immediately blown up. We don\u2019t see those fighters. They are operating out of buildings and homes and at night. They are moving around very carefully. You don\u2019t see any signs of authority on the streets. If you can imagine every police officer, every person of authority in America gone, this is what that would look like.\nIf we had access to them, we would be photographing them. I never saw a single device for launching the rockets to Israel. It\u2019s as if they don\u2019t exist.\nSometimes people assume that you can have access to everything, that you can see everything. But the fighters are virtually invisible to us. What we do as photographers is document what we can to show that side of the war. There are funerals, there are people being rushed to the hospital, but you can\u2019t differentiate the fighters from the civilians. They are not wearing uniforms. If there is someone coming into the hospital injured, you can\u2019t tell if that\u2019s just a shopkeeper or if this is someone who just fired a rocket towards Israel. It\u2019s impossible to know who\u2019s who. We tried to cover this as objectively as possible.\nPerhaps this won\u2019t satisfy critics of either Hicks or the New York Times, but I think it offers fascinating insight into the conflict on the whole. Critics of Israel will often point to the lopsided casualty count (a gruesome metric, indeed) on the Israeli and Palestinian sides, while supporters will say the Israeli Defense Forces have no choice but to operate as they do because the rockets are launched from civilian areas. This is exactly in line with Hicks\u2019 statement. He can\u2019t photograph what he can\u2019t see. And if the Israeli military itself has trouble locating and neutralizing rockets, how could a photojournalist fare any better?\nIn the end, though, Tablet\u2019s article was false when they published it and has now been dismantled. It\u2019s shameful to see anyone put this drivel out into the world, and all the more shocking and sad that it should come from an outlet that once showed so much promise. A retraction or at the very least an editorial comment is in order, but I doubt we\u2019ll see one. One can\u2019t expect much from a writer who doesn\u2019t even sign his or her own work.\nJournalism professor Jay Rosen was kinder and called the piece \u201cunwise.\u201d\u21a9\nMurphy is listed as \u201cVice President, Corporate Communications\u201d on LinkedIn and is often quoted as a \u201cspokeswoman for The Times.\u201d I have chosen to use the job title on her Twitter bio, head of communications.\u21a9\nIt\u2019s worth noting that on the same day as Tablet\u2019s Hicks article, the Times itself was informed that a published story would become subject to military censorship by Israel.\u21a9\n\u00ab No Fuckhead You Are Not a Storyteller How The New York Times Handles Israeli Censorship \u00bb",

        "raw_content": "The True Nature of Christ's Church - A God Empowered People - Monday, September 4th\nWhile the people of Israel were still at Rephidim, the warriors of Amalek attacked them. Moses commanded Joshua, \u201cChoose some men to go out and fight the army of Amalek for us. Tomorrow, I will stand at the top of the hill, holding the staff of God in my hand.\u201d So Joshua did what Moses had commanded and fought the army of Amalek. Meanwhile, Moses, Aaron, and Hur climbed to the top of a nearby hill. As long as Moses held up the staff in his hand, the Israelites had the advantage. But whenever he dropped his hand, the Amalekites gained the advantage. Moses\u2019 arms soon became so tired he could no longer hold them up. So Aaron and Hur found a stone for him to sit on. Then they stood on each side of Moses, holding up his hands. So his hands held steady until sunset. As a result, Joshua overwhelmed the army of Amalek in battle. Exodus 17:8-13\nWe begin this week\u2019s Devotionals with a story: \u201cIt was the coldest winter ever. Many animals died because of the cold. The hedgehogs, realizing the situation, decided to group together to keep warm. This way they covered and protected themselves; but the quills of each one wounded their closest companions. After a while, they decided to distance themselves one from the other and they began to die, alone and frozen. So they had to make a choice: either accept the quills of their companions or disappear from the Earth. Wisely, they decided to go back to being together. They learned to live with the little wounds caused by the close relationship with their companions in order to receive the heat that came from the others. This way they were able to survive.\u201d\nWhether it is hedgehogs facing the coldest winter ever, Israel\u2019s army facing the warriors of Amalek, or the church facing the challenges of its mission, each individual contributing to the \u201ccommon good\u201d of the group is a vital part of what is necessary for survival. With the church of Jesus Christ, however, there is much more that comes into play than mere \u201cgroup dynamics.\u201d God Almighty, as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, is at work in her midst in ways that elevate her individual and collective nature into something that is truly supernatural and amazing. Christ\u2019s church will become a powerful team as she increasingly experiences God\u2019s presence individually and collectively while she learns truly to be the Body of Christ. This is the focus of this week\u2019s Devotionals.\nLord, I confess that because I am so used to organizations with their human leaders and structures, I easily forget the supernatural nature of your church. It is always supposed to be you in our midst empowering us in amazing ways so that we are used in mighty ways as the church of Jesus Christ. Please take away any conditioning in my life and that of your people everywhere, that hinders what you alone can do in us and through us as the true body of Christ. Amen!\nPosted on Mon, September 4, 2017 by Ken Hart",

        "raw_content": "You are at:Home\u00bbArchives\u00bbEditorial-Archives\u00bbHelp for Small Businesses\nBy Pamela Hulse Andrews CEO/Founder on\t April 7, 2010 Editorial-Archives\nWe can take some small pleasure in knowing that we live in a region that supports small business. We know this because the majority of voters in Central Oregon voted against Measure 66 and 67.\nHowever, the pleasure ends there. Small businesses that did not show a profit last year are still required to pay the state for staying in business. (Many unfortunately have not been able to stay afloat: businesses filing bankruptcy in 2009 increased by 42 percent.) When you get your corporate tax returns you will be required to pay $150 for every business entity you have even if you showed a loss in your company, plus another $100 to the state\u2019s corporation division for your annual report, plus another $50 to the City of Bend for your city license.\nIn addition, this past legislative session increased the vehicle fuel tax by six cents and passed a bill that increased all DMV fees. Title went from $55 to $77, vehicle registrations from $54 to $86 for two years, plates from $5 to $23, custom plates from $50 to $100 for two years and trip permits from $20 to $30.\nFor companies facing even the smallest increase in taxes and fees it can mean the difference in hiring another employee, expanding your business and funding necessary marketing plans.\nIf you voted for these tax measures, we ask you if you know what a challenge it is to stay in business during a recession? Have you tried recently to get a line of credit to help with your cash flow? Have you had to lay off employees? Do you have to work seven days a week to keep the company going? Do you understand that nearly every business in this state took anywhere from a 15 to 40 percent decrease in income last year?\nIf you\u2019re a legislator who voted for this tax package to honor your out of control spending we will not be supporting you for reelection. We encourage every business owner to look very closely at what level of support a candidate for office will be giving to small businesses.\nThe Alliance of Oregon\u2019s Business Associations has launched www.OregonTaxResponse.com, which intends to capture and quantify some of the real-life impacts of Measures 66 and 67 on Oregon companies and their employees.\nThe Alliance recognizes that Oregon companies are continuing to make adjustments in this very difficult economy. Some changes would have occurred regardless of the tax increases. But the Alliance is also aware that some of these job losses came as a direct result of the tax hikes. To track the employment consequences of Measures 66 and 67, the Alliance established the website where you can record the impact of the legislature\u2019s tax increases.\nInformation gleaned from the website will be used to demonstrate the impacts of tax increases on Oregon employers so that policymakers and legislators have a better grasp of how specific taxes affect Oregon\u2019s economy.\nWe encourage you to participate in the collection of this information.\nIs Help on the Way?\nMuch has been written about the Small Business Administration\u2019s ARC loan program that did little to help companies that were hurting due to the recession. Few loans were made and some local companies that were approved eventually turned down the money because of the unreasonable and unexpected demands and restrictions made on the loans.\nOregon legislators have informed us that they are still working to correct the process and the lack of realistic response from the SBA. However, once burned it\u2019s unlikely that businesses will be willing to go through the grueling and time consuming process of applying for these interest free loans.\nGiving up on the feds, we might ask: what about the State of Oregon, what help can they give business? On April 1, Governor Ted Kulongoski signed SB 1017 that is slated to expand the flexibility of the state\u2019s economic development department, Business Oregon, to help Oregon companies with several financing tools.\nThe bill is supposed to help you access necessary capital to expand or continue business operations to retain and create quality jobs for Oregonians. The additional capital and program enhancements under the Access to Business Capital Act ensure that the Oregon Business Development Fund (OBDF) will continue to have the resources needed for making loans to Oregon\u2019s small- and mid-sized businesses during these difficult economic times.\nAccording to Tim McCabe (director of Business Oregon) SB 1017 gives the state the discretion to approve loans up to $250,000 (the previous limit was $100,000) expediting the process for businesses to access needed capital.\nContact the Oregon Business Development Department at 866-467-3466 for more information about this and other state programs.",

He studied theology and philology at Leipsic and became university preacher there in 1810; in 1812 extra.ordinary professor of theology at Jena, ordinary professor, 1817. He gave lectures on all branches of so-called theoretic theology except church history, especially New Testament exegesis, Biblical theology, dogmatics, ethics, and history of doctrine.

His exegesis was painstaking, free from prejudice, and acute; as historian of dogma he understood the origin and development of religious ideas and doctrines as few others have done; and as systematic theologian he was profound and truly evangelical.

        "raw_content": "2016-16 GOV\u2019S BUDGET SUMMARY\nThe state Constitution requires the Governors to submit a budget proposal for the next fiscal each year by January 10, but this year the budget was released three days early.\nSo, the annual budget battle begins. However, this year the state is planning on a second surplus year in a row \u2013 which may make the battles even more intense, as members of the majority party fight to lock-in a share of that new revenue for new and existing programs while the Governor tries to tuck some money away to stave-off deficits.\nOver the next few months this budget will be dissected, disconnected, taken-apart, reconfigured, lambasted, and generally go through the standard process. Below is a summary.\nAt the press conference when asked about extending Proposition 30\u2019s \u201ctemporary\u201d taxes, the Governor essentially had no comment. Many majority party legislators and advocates for school and health and human services groups would like to see an extension of one component of Prop. 30\u2013the tax on those making over $250,000 a year, while letting the sales tax premium subside. There are currently initiatives on the street that will qualify that would do just that.",

        "raw_content": "Why Italy\u2019s Crisis Is the Left\u2019s Crisis\nBy Carlo d\u2019Ippoliti, Associate Professor of Economics, Sapienza University of Rome. Originally published at the\nCurrent turmoil in Italy is the result of lack of a clear political majority. An attempt at forming a so-called populist majority shows the real face of populism in the country, which is conservative and neoliberal in its economic philosophy. However, framing the debate in terms of mainstream vs. populists is preventing Italy from intervening in the most important public debate in years, that on the reform of the Eurozone, which can only be framed in the more traditional terms of Keynesianism vs. mercantilism.\nTo understand the current situation and outlook for Italy, it is necessary to take one step back. The Presidency of the Italian Republic is one of the most flexible institutions in Western Europe. With a strong parliamentary majority and government, it can shrink to almost a residual role, but with a fragmented and chaotic scenario the president emerges as a leading figure. However, despite current being under the spotlight since last general elections in March, it is really the political deadlock \u2013 represented in the figure below \u2013 that is responsible for the recent turmoil in the country and in financial markets.\nTripartition of the Italian Electorate at the 2018 General Election\nPartly due to a mixed system that encompasses elements of both first-past-the-post and proportional representation, and partly due to a real fragmentation of Italy\u2019s society, the 5-Star Movement (M5S) emerged as the party with a relative majority in both chambers of Parliament, whereas the center-right electoral alliance of Lega, Silvio Berlusconi\u2019s Forza Italia, and a smaller radical right party (FdI) emerged as the relatively larger party coalition.Following confusion about who had legitimacy and the numbers in Parliament to form a government, the Lega attempted (first unsuccessfully, then successfully the second time) to forge a new parliamentary alliance, with the M5S (it could be useful to recall here that in Italian, \u201cpopulist\u201d has nothing to do with popular or grassroots, but is rather a synonym for demagogue).\nBy and large, the initial collapse and subsequent success at creating a Lega-M5S coalition have been caused by Lega\u2019s kingmaker role. Its leader, Matteo Salvini, had taken a long time to decide \u2013 or to make it public \u2013 whether he preferred to be a minority partner in a government formally led by the M5S (who have many more members of Parliament than Lega, but are far less experienced and could possibly end up being outmaneuvered by Lega\u2019s expert politicians), or the majority shareholder in a center-right coalition, which would not have a majority in the current Parliament, but could no doubt obtain one after a new election (especially since, after a recent verdict, Berlusconi is eligible again to run for public office).\nSuch uncertainty is still not fully resolved, with many commenters pondering on the likely survival time of the current \u201cyellow-green\u201d coalition government. A few weeks ago, by cornering Mattarella into rejecting an impossible deal, Mr. Salvini successfully deflected responsibility for such ambivalence onto the president, who has been amply regarded as the cause for the failure of the Lega-M5S\u2019s first attempt at forming a government. In the impossibility to rule out new elections in a relatively short term, Mr. Salvini\u2019s behavior is meant to always keep open the possibility both of an electoral alliance with the M5S and the re-proposal of the alliance with Berlusconi: this gives him some bargaining power in dealing with both.\nWhat Will a \u201cPopulist\u201d Alliance Look Like?\nSuch ambivalence will remain at least for the first few months, during which Mr. Salvini could always decide to stop the experiment of a yellow-green government. The M5S and Lega defied Italian coalition tradition by refusing a \u201crelay\u201d gentlemen\u2019s agreement, whereby one party leader acts as prime minister for a half mandate (two and a half years), and another party\u2019s leader for the second half. It is difficult not to see a basic lack of trust between the two parties behind the choice to reject this option, opting instead for the appointment of a technocratic prime minister with no political power.\nBut most importantly, they signed a public agreement written by a notary, which contains a number of impossible promises \u2013 some clearly \u201cbeyond our means\u201d (whatever that may mean), some unconstitutional, some politically impossible. By (a conservative one, if we were to consider all measures to be implemented) the agreement would amount to a fiscal stimulus package worth around 7.3% of GDP in the first year. To be fair, such estimates do not consider the positive impact on GDP growth, but since roughly one half of the package consists of tax cuts for the richer households, the fiscal multiplier of the program would likely be small.\nAs with all things impossible, the agreement will be locked in a drawer. However, it will always be there, hanging as a sword of Damocles and giving the chance to whichever side wanted to break up the coalition to immediately find a suitable excuse: the obvious lack of implementation of some \u201cfundamental\u201d clause of the agreement.\nRadical uncertainty will concern now not only the survival of the government, but the future course of its policy, in the absence of a serious and credible program. These two sources of uncertainty might prove a hurdle for the suffering Italian economy.\nIn its first few weeks, government and party officials seem busy pre-empting various options by a storm of contradictory public statements and interviews. But the general sense of direction of the \u201cgovernment contract\u201d is clear. Its main economic proposals are: a conditional universal unemployment benefits scheme (a measure implemented in virtually all western European countries except Italy, but for some reason it is called here a \u201cbasic income\u201d by the M5S), which is worth around 1% of GDP; and a flat rate personal income tax scheme, implying lower revenues by 3% of GDP.\nTo highlight the underlying nature of such agreement, let us consider a classical scheme of social classes whereby capitalists earn profits, workers earn wages, and those not involved in production earn rents, including among the latter the rents publicly provided by the welfare state. In a back of the envelope (and extremely simplistic) model, we can compare proposals benefiting one of these classes with a party\u2019s pro-market or pro-state orientation, to derive the party\u2019s model of economic development, as shown in the table below.\nParty Economic Development Models\nA party that wishes to sustain aggregate profits is most likely to pursue an export-led growth strategy based on price-competitiveness, which almost invariably implies the search for cost-competitiveness by means of reducing unit labor costs. Although very different, parties wishing to strengthen the welfare state (which provides resources to the economically dependent) and those wishing to favor financialization of the economy (with the growth of large monopolistic corporations and the \u201cvalue added\u201d produced by the financial sector) will naturally propose a consumption-led growth strategy. Finally, an investment-led growth strategy boosts aggregate labor incomes both by reducing the number of unemployed people and, this way, by possibly increasing average wages.\nIn this scheme, mainstream European economic policy falls squarely under the ordoliberal label because it seeks to create unemployment in the deficit countries as a bitter pill, aimed at depressing wages and this way returning to cost-competitiveness. In contrast, the government contract signed by M5S and Lega envisions an alliance between sustaining profits and the highest labor incomes (both concentrated in the north of the country) through supply-side policies, in exchange for expanding the welfare state (but to a smaller extent, and mostly to the benefit of the south \u2013 indeed, the unemployment benefits scheme has already been rebranded as a labor market policy aimed at activation and employability). In principle, difficulties to balance the accounts would be bridged by increasing debt.\nThat populist movements run the elections on a fairy tale platform and then is surely not a Latin American phenomenon only. In the Italian case, one has to further consider some strongly racist proposals against migrants and refugees, aimed at appeasing an angry electorate.\nEuro vs. Lira, or Left vs. Right?\nHowever, the first attempt at forming a government was stopped by the president of the republic because Lega would not renounce the appointment of Prof. Paolo Savona \u2013 who in the past had declared that Italy should have a \u201cplan B\u201d ready in case it became necessary to leave the Eurozone \u2013 as economy and finance minister. Prof. Savona became such a symbol that Lega refused to nominate their party\u2019s number two in his place, even though President Mattarella had suggested he would accept that appointment. This move was probably aimed at never forming a government in the first place (Lega was still toying with the idea of going to new elections), but it ended up framing the debate (and the markets\u2019 tensions) in the extremely radical terms of a possible return to the lira. In a second attempt, the M5S and Lega have finally accepted to appoint prof. Savona as minister for European affairs, and selected another university professor, Giovanni Tria (close to several of Mr. Berlusconi\u2019s collaborators), as finance minister.\nOne cannot exclude that parts of the elite prefer to argue along the populists vs. mainstream cleavage (the vertical axis in the figure), rather than highlighting the differences between conservatives and progressives. As, for example, French elections have shown with the victories of Jacques Chirac and Emmanuel Macron (though within a completely different electoral system), when the debate is shrinking to this level, \u201cthe establishment\u201d probably always wins. In the Italian case, all polls suggest a large majority of the electorate is clearly in favor of staying in the Eurozone, despite all the economic suffering.\nTruly, even within the narrow constraints of the ordoliberal framework imposed by the rules governing the euro, it would be possible to implement policies that could . In Italy, some years ago the M5S itself had proposed to increase the degree of redistribution within the public pension system, which constitutes the lion\u2019s share of the welfare state in the country, and many parties recurrently talk about the urgency to reduce tax evasion and tax avoidance (though the new government is expected to relax rules on tax collection and enforcement, especially for small businesses and the self-employed).\nHowever, siding unilaterally with the powers that be certainly does not leave significant room for a progressive economic policy platform. There is now widespread evidence that social-democrats lose from joining the conservatives in \u201cgrand coalition\u201d governments, much more than the conservatives loose. For the Italian Democratic Party, further complication arises from its large and powerful economically conservative caucus. Therefore, the long-term consequence of framing the economic policy debate as a struggle between the reasonable people and the barbarians at the gate may be the definitive collapse of the left, with a blundering of all left-right distinctions that in fact means simply arguing for the conservation of the status quo (as grand coalitions have mostly tended to do).\nMissing Chances\nThere is, however, a more short-term consequence. As the ,the , and are discussing what could be the most momentous reform of the Eurozone and its governance in years (or, vice versa, one of the most glaring ), Italy is not publicly taking part of that debate.\nThe country has been in a public sector primary sur for decades, has successfully returned to a balance of payment current account sur (and even its previous deficits were never too large), but it is plagued by intolerable unemployment and widespread precarity due to the low-wage sector being the only part of the economy that is (slowly) growing. It clearly suffers from a conspicuous lack of aggregate demand, which has created troubling financial difficulties (most notably the legacy of non-performing loans in banks\u2019 balance sheets). As one of the most \u201c\u201d Member States, ever since the Maastricht Treaty and despite the slightly racist rhetoric to the contrary,it is the largest victim of (to use former European Commission President Romano Prodi\u2019s words) the stupid rules that regulate the Eurozone.\nWhile largely ignored by our own policymakers, for years now Italian economists have produced sensible proposals for the introduction of , in the face of which the Commission\u2019s recent proposal of introducing jointly securitized bonds appears insufficient and inadequate. More suggest that the European Central Bank could itself issue its own risk-free bonds with which to control the term structure of interest rates, which is currently fragmented along national lines even for countries sharing the same currency. Such innovation, which does not require Treaty changes, would make the ECB act like the Hong Kong central bank. include, for example, the creation of components of a euro-wide welfare state (which would help to consolidate a European identity), such as an unemployment insurance scheme.\nAs Member States are obliged by the stupid rules to keep on deleveraging, even as this often increases their debt burden as a share of GDP, more expansionary policy could be implemented at the Eurozone level. The \u201cJuncker Plan,\u201d based on the central role of the European Investment Bank, shows that this could be possible even without changes to the Treaties that regulate the EU. Since the multi-annual common budget is being discussed these months, it could be relevant to note that many years ago the EU created a \u201cGlobalization Adjustment Fund\u201d that could finally be given the resources to step up to the responsibility that its pompous name entails.\nEvidently, if an increase in spending and the launch of joint bonds was accompanied by the creation of a European Treasury, with an elected official who has to put her face on the suffering of several people in several regions of the EU, as proposed, for example, by Mr. Macron, it would be but a welcome democratic turn.\nThe Role of the Economic Debate\nAll measures hinted at here could look like a wonderful dream list never to be seriously considered in the face of apparently insurmountable opposition from Germany and the several surrounding countries that hide behind its might. This is true to a large extent, but a stronger contribution to this debate from Italy (and other \u201cperipheral\u201d Eurozone countries) could contribute to at least launching some first partial measures. Political turmoil in several other countries has seriously reduced the of the conservative European People\u2019s Party within the Council. In the core Eurozone countries too, it is to be hoped that a wider and clearer politicization of EU policies, instead of framing the debate in terms of \u201cin or out,\u201d could lead to an awakening of social-democratic and progressive parties. Perhaps we forget too often that soaring inequality and precarity weigh on the welfare of several people in core Eurozone countries too.\nAs Italy\u2019s case shows, the populists do not offer chances for real change. Barring an exit from the euro (which is legally nearly impossible, economically costly and counter-productive, and politically undesired by a majority of citizens), in a new twist Lega and the M5S have for a short while even considered appointing as Finance Minister Mr. Cottarelli, the fiscal austerity hawk who was called upon by President Mattarella to form a technocratic government alternative to the failed populist attempt. In the face of possibly serious further cuts in public expenditure (possibly framed as reduction of waste and corruption), gradual reforms of the Eurozone would be a much more progressive outcome.\nThe ambiguity of the populists, equally ready to embrace a small enlargement of the welfare state and deep cuts to public revenues and expenditure, is partly a consequence of the glaring invisibility of economic ideas alternative to the current mainstream in the EU. Indeed, resistance to change in core Eurozone countries, as well as inadequate mobilization in the periphery, depend at least partly on the common implicit acceptance that the only development model for the EU is the ordoliberal one, based on the struggle (largely internal competition among EU countries) for cost- and price-competitiveness aimed at the mirage of export-led growth. An alternative, investment-led growth model need not lead to competition between member states and could overcome the misleading debate about the \u201credistribution of given resources\u201d between countries.\nHowever, with its current focus on the mainstream versus populists struggle, rather than the left vs. right cleavage, Italy is not contributing to such needed debate \u2013 let us hope that the new government now will promptly frame the debate in terms of a more traditional, but more useful, discussion on the European model of growth and development.\nPercentage of votes, shown in the figure, do not correspond to percentages of seats due to the complexity of the electoral law. The yellow-green coalition would be able to form a majority in Parliament, whereas the centre-right would not. Shares of votes do not sum to 1 because of a large number of smaller parties, not considered here.\nIn his May 11th speech, Mario Draghi proposed the institution of a embryonic European Treasury (\u201can additional fiscal instrument to maintain convergence during large shocks, without having to over-burden monetary policy.\u201d) and to complete the Banking Union by \u201ca backstop for the Single Resolution Fund. [\u2026] in all the other large jurisdictions, such as the US, the UK and Japan, resolution funds are backstopped by the fiscal authority.\u201d).\nSee Costantini O. (2017), \u201cPolitical Economy of the Stability and Growth Pact,\u201d European Journal of Economics and Economic Policies: Intervention, vol. 14 n. 3, pp. 333\u2013350, doi: 10.4337/ejeep.2017.0029\nOne could mention at least the biased metrics used to evaluate countries\u2019 macroeconomic position: from the narrow focus on the public sector net lending/borrowing instead of the country\u2019s balance of payments; to analyses of the sustainability of exclusively public debt, neglecting private debt and the net international position; to endless discussions (and threats) on the role of sovereign bonds on banks\u2019 balance sheets, neglecting the role of derivatives, just to make a few examples. By providing a fuller and less biased picture, the Macroeconomic Imbalance Procedure, activated at the peak of the crisis under strong Italian pressure within the European Council, is an example of how things can change at the European level. That is still applied only \u201cagainst\u201d deficit countries shows how change is necessarily very slow, in the face of a waterproof majority of the conservative parties within the Council.\nThis entry was posted in Banana republic, Economic fundamentals, Europe, Free markets and their discontents, Globalization, Guest Post, Macroeconomic policy, Politics, The destruction of the middle class, The dismal science on June 23, 2018 by Yves Smith.\n\u2190 Wilkerson: Don\u2019t Trust Trump, Bolton to Deliver US-North Korea Peace Links 6/23/18 \u2192\nWhat the Italian Government may want is irrelevant.\nWhat it can do under the EU and ECB rules, which I understand is to run their budget with less than 3% defect , is relevant.\nItaly is not sovereign, and the EU so constrained that is a crippled sovereign at best. Further the ECB is so \u201cindependent\u201d from the EU and the European Parliament that it appears the ECB is the only sovereign in Europe.\nAn un-elected, unaccountable, self-interested, opaque institution with an mandate constrained between German intransigence and Europe\u2019s mob of non-sovereign governments, all marching to their own tune.\nThe only economic policy \u201cpermitted\u201d possible with countries with deficits is to raise unemployment and immiserate the population. If all the EU countries did run sures, who\u2019d be the \u201ccough\u201d deficit countries slowly sinking into the morass?\nA \u201cfree trade\u201d area where the problem is \u201cfree trade,\u201d and the populace pays the price.\nNice empire , federation, union, continent you\u2019ve got there. Pity its ungovernable.\nSome very odd and interesting classifications. For instance: \u201cthose not involved in production earn rents, including among the latter the rents publicly provided by the welfare state.\u201d We don\u2019t usually lump in welfare with economic rents, but it is true; the main difference is the scale, and the power of the people receiving them.\nThen there\u2019s his classification of the M5S on the right side of the political graph. Certainly their announced values when they started were NOT right-wing, quite the opposite. Have they really drifted that far, or would it make more sense to put them on both sides of the line (if there were really a line). One reason the coalition is so shaky is because the two parties disagree about so much. At this point, the larger party appears to be letting the smaller lead it by the nose; he explains that as a matter of experience, but they\u2019re gaining that at quite a clip.\nI would defer to Italians on who the M5S really are, but so far I don\u2019t think his chart makes sense.\nAnd incidentally: is there a real Italian left waiting in the wings? The PD certainly aren\u2019t it. At this point, the best strategy might be to move in on the amorphous M5S.\n\u201d it ended up framing the debate (and the markets\u2019 tensions) in the extremely radical terms of a possible return to the lira.\u201d\nSince a return to the lira, although inordinately difficult, is probably the only real solution, that framing is appropriate. It also remains the pressure tactic most likely to produce real reform of the Euro \u2013 though I think that\u2019s even less possible than a return to a sovereign currency. The present government clearly isn\u2019t up to a Samson strategy, but a future one might be. Not that I\u2019d wish that on anybody.\n\u201cit is the largest victim of (to use former European Commission President Romano Prodi\u2019s words) the stupid rules that regulate the Eurozone.\u201d\nSo why does he dismiss returning to the lira as \u201cextreme\u201d? Granted, it would be costly and difficult (I\u2019m not forgetting our previous discussions), but once you say the above, you don\u2019t get to just dismiss the obvious solution.\nSomewhere here I just saw that a majority of Italians (in polls?) support remaining in the EZ; so why did they give M5S and the Lega, both of which question it, a majority? As in Greece, I suspect that leadership has a lot to do with popular attitudes on this subject; it they were told, clearly, that the Euro is the source of their difficulties, they might change their tune. Of course, that would precipitate a battle with the ECB and the \u201cmarkets\u201d. So who is really sovereign?\ndisc_writes June 23, 2018 at 5:04 pm\nExcellent insight in the current mess.\nBut I do not think that investment-led growth is politically viable in Germany or the Netherlands.\n\u0448\u043a\u0430\u0444 \u0441\u0443\u0448\u0438\u043b\u044c\u043d\u044b\u0439 \u0445\u0430\u0440\u044c\u043a\u043e\u0432",

        "raw_content": "Present: Peter Gray; Frances L. Higgins; Nancy Pines; Chris Richardson; Greg White; 8 Section 5 residents\nPeter moved that the June 13, 2012, Council meeting minutes be approved as revised; there was a second and the motion passed unanimously.\nA resident told the Council that some of the liriope plants which the Councilhad planted some time ago in the public strip in front of her house have died. She said that some of these plants have died because of the severe winter weather. She said that the Council had agreed at an earlier Council meeting to assume the cost of replenishing these dead plants. A resident complained about the plants that are intruding on the public sidewalk at the southeast corner of Williams Lane and Connecticut Avenue and obstructing pedestrians trying to navigate the sidewalk.\nThe Council agreed to replenish the dead liriope plants in front of the resident\u2019s house.\nThe manager will contact the resident at the southeast corner of Williams Lane and Connecticut Avenue and ask her to trim the hedges in her front yard.\nAgenda Item: McCrone Proposal Concerning Section 5\u2019s Storm Drains\nBill Warnock, an engineer with McCrone, Inc., said that his company is able to subcontract with another company like TVR which can video tape the interior of Section 5\u2019s storm drain system pipes. This video tape would allow the Council to view the interior of all the storm drain pipes and determine their condition. Someone asked about the life expectancy of precast concrete storm drains; Section 5 has precast concrete pipes. Bill said that there is very little data concerning the life expectancy of precast concrete storm drain pipes.\nSomeone asked about the cost of video taping Section 5\u2019s entire storm drain system. Bill said that the cost would be approximately $19,000.00. Someone asked if the proposal could include only the pipes that are at greatest risk. Bill said that the proposal could include those portions of the system that are most at risk and thus the cost would be less.\nThe manager will determine the age of Section 5\u2019s precast concrete storm drain pipes and report back to the Council.\nAgenda Item: Residents\u2019 Responses to the Survey on Chevy Chase Circle Signalization Proposal\nPeter said that Section 5 received survey forms from 52% of the residents and that 52% of those responding were for the signalization of the Circle and 44% were opposed. He said that many of the responders included comments.\nThe manager will write a letter stating the reason for the survey and include a copy of the survey results. She will send a copy of this letter and a copy of the survey results to the District Department of Transportation and the Board of Governors in the Village.\nAgenda Item: Discussion of Competing Charitable Solicitations by the CC Fire Department and The B-CC Rescue Squad\nCraig Pernick, a Williams Lane resident, is a volunteer with the B-CC Rescue Squad. He said that there has been some concern about the members of the Chevy Chase Fire Board sending a letter to Chevy Chase residents asking for solicitations to help with the cost of items that the County does not supply the Chevy Chase Fire Department. John Fisher, a Section 5 member of the Chevy Chase Fire Board, wrote a letter and sent a copy to Section 5\u2019s Council stating that he is opposed to such solicitations. He said that there is always a need for extra money to help pay for new equipment and training classes.\nCraig said that the B-CC Rescue Squad does not receive any money from the County and thus receives its money from contributions only. Someone asked what Section 5\u2019s Council\u2019s position is concerning these solicitations. There was some discussion.\nThe manager will contact Section 5\u2019s two other Fire Board members and ask them about their views on this solicitation and report back to the Council.\nThe manager said that the expenditure items in FY 2012 \u2013 13 budget are all within the budget limits.\n7203 Brookville Rd. - demolition of existing house\n7205 Brookville Rd. - construct house, pool house, pool\n3507 Thornapple St. \u2013 construct 2 story addition in rear\nThe manager told the Council that some Section 5 residents are installing generators that are permanently installed and need a County permit. Section 5 does not have an ordinance that pertains to permanently installed generators thus residents will follow the County\u2019s ordinances pertaining to such generators.\nThe manager will write a letter to the owner of the property at 3600 Thornapple St. advising him that he needs to remove the large stump from his front yard.\nThe manager said that the County is in the process of revising the ordinances pertaining to accessory apartments. There was some discussion about Section 5 Council\u2019s position on this revision. Chris asked the manager to obtain information about the County\u2019s present ordinances concerning accessory apartments and the revisions.\nPeter asked the Council members if they would agree to change the October Council meeting date from October 9th to October 10th.\nChris thanked the manager for the good block party.\nThe manager said that she has had some concern about 2 large public trees which were damaged by the summer storms thus she has had the arborist inspect them. He gave them a clean bill of health.\nLGIT, Section 5\u2019s insurance company, notified Section 5 that it passed the Hazard Evaluation Survey. The cost of insurance for Section 5 for the year 2012-13 was only $47.53 because Section 5 has never had a claim which was paid by the insurance company. Someone from Alan Beal\u2019s office will inspect the construction at 7205 Brookville Rd. to be certain that the building activity is being done according to the County\u2019s ordinances.\nThe Council has designated the manager as the resident agent so that if Section 5 is served a legal document, the manager is authorized to accept this document.\nThe manager suggested that residents of Section 5 be invited to display their wares, art, crafts, etc. at the Annual Meeting. There was some concern about residents offering their wares for sale. Greg suggested that a resident could conduct any sale of his/her wares outside the meeting.\nThe manager will obtain information concerning the County\u2019s present accessory apartment ordinances and the proposed changes.\nThe members agreed to the change and the manager will email Council members with the date change.\nPeter asked the manager to change the printer\u2019s address list of residents to which it sends notices and include on the envelope the name of the specific resident rather than a generic title of \u201cResident.\u201d Peter said that this may cause residents to treat the mail from Section 5 as personal rather than junk mail.\nThe manager will email a copy of the investment policy to the Council and include a copy with the October agenda mailing.\nThe next Council meeting will be held October 10, 2012, at the Village Hall, 5906 Connecticut Avenue, at 7:30 PM. Everyone is welcome. The Village Hall is handicapped accessible.",

        "raw_content": "Last year, I had planned on doing a continuing series of pieces about old favorite albums or forgotten albums and simply overlooked albums (started as seen here on Lacquer by Swedish band Popsicle). It was to be a chance to reflect on the times when those records impacted my life and how they did and continue to do so. I spend so much time focusing on what\u2019s coming up next that it\u2019s nice to stop and realize that I have a pretty cool collection of music sitting all around me that I can get lost in and maybe never return from. I had also hoped to get others involved and hear thoughts and anecdotes involving their own lost favorites, etc. or from those affected as I have been by music in order to break up the monotony of my terrible collection of adjectives and anecdotes. Unsurprisingly, this never really took off. However, after the complete mind dump that has been the annual end of year Top 40 list that I have continued to do for no apparent reason, I\u2019ve decided to try and give this whole expressing a love for music thing another go. But it will not start with this one. Instead, I have decided to restart by writing about a band that has eluded me in many ways over the years: Jawbreaker. This Bay Area band was a huge one for me \u2013 probably my favorite from about 1990 till 1995. They came along with their heartfelt proletariat songs of love and drunkenness during the time I was leaving home and High School and bound for college and an attempt at independence, so their music and words captured and romanticized the life I was kind of living.\nI first encountered Jawbreaker in 1989 when I picked up Volume 2 of Shredder Records\u2019 Worlds in Shreds series of singles from the much missed Blacklist Mail Order (where one could buy punk influenced records at incredibly cheap rates) and the love affair continued until they eventually split after four powerful, yet completely different albums. Why were they always so elusive to me? I\u2019m not sure. It was partly due to the inspiration of their music that I was driven to start writing about music and starting a \u2018zine (the short lived This Wreckage described here: This is Our Emergency \u2013 hell, even the first two entries on this site are pieces named after Jawbreaker songs: Accident Prone and Jinx Removing). In fact, after their epic second album Bivouac dominated my world during the entirety of 1993 (it was the first album I bought in January of that year to guide me through another surgery recovery), I found myself on the ninth handwritten page of a review of it as my #1 pick for that year. While writing a long description of a reoccurring dream I used to have about being buried alive and somehow relating that to their song \u201cFace Down,\u201d I stood up, wadded the entire thing up and tossed it in the trash. I didn\u2019t write about music or anything at all again for another four or five years. It was simply too much. For some reason, whenever I try to write about Jawbreaker\u2019s music, my mind collapses in on itself. I get tangled up and cannot fathom a way to express the deeply personal tie I have with so many of their songs, which is confusing considering the relatable and immaculately poetic lyrics of vocalist/guitarist Blake Schwarzenbach. I have never been able to quite put into words how much a song like \u201cAche\u201d (from 1994\u2019s 24 Hour Revenge Therapy) helped carry me through a long dark period of pining for a lost love (\u201clean your head on mine like you used to / I don\u2019t mind if you\u2019re faking it\u201d), or how the rough hewn downtown asphalt soundscape of songs like \u201cKiss the Bottle,\u201d \u201cChesterfield King,\u201d and \u201cSea Foam Green\u201d bring alive the wistful and dramatic times of finding ones\u2019 foothold in life. None of the words I write about the band feel like they\u2019re worth the time wasted putting them down, and then I expand that to everything else I\u2019ve ever written and then it leads to a complete shut down. It has always been incredibly frustrating to feel inspired to write when hearing their music, but losing the meager ability that I have to do so. And this is where I\u2019ve found myself lately, which reminds me of that fateful day or two where I attempted to write the definitive synopsis of Bivouac back in December of 1993.\nMy first thought, when I decided to make a stab at writing about Jawbreaker again brought me to 1992\u2019s Chesterfield King EP, which I bought while living in Seattle. I\u2019ll never forget the day I bought it. The day prior I had collected a paycheck for one day\u2019s worth of work at a terrible mall record store, before deciding that I\u2019d rather starve than to work in such an environment (a pattern that repeated itself frequently during my short stint in that city), so I had a few dollars in my wallet. I was woken up by the monthly visit from the pest control people as they had stormed uninvited into my studio to spray unknown chemicals into the corners of my room, before wordlessly exiting. Since I was awake, and the sun was out, I decided to throw on some clothes and take advantage of that money and walk up the street to the old Crocodile Records just off of Mercer near the Seattle Center. That day I found the debut self-titled Swans EP from 1982 and the brand new Jawbreaker EP both on vinyl. It was such a surprise and I had just enough cash. \u201cChesterfield King\u201d was everything I could\u2019ve ever hoped for after wearing their debut Unfun out and having to buy the then newly released version on CD. The band had retained their loose and gritty punk inflected music, but now had introduced a much stronger personal edge to the lyrics. But it is \u201cTour Song,\u201d the second track, a catchy slice of life on the road, which reminds me of the other reason they have always frustrated me. While the opening lines of the song provide all one needs to know about driving across country in a van with no money to promote their music (\u201cSeven hundred miles to play to fifteen angry men / I need some sleep\u201d), I cannot help but stop and smile thinking about all of the times that Jawbreaker cancelled shows on me and my friends. Every time I was aware of them playing locally (and by \u201clocally,\u201d I mean within a couple hundred miles) and tried to go, we would be presented with a closed venue and news that the show had been cancelled. It wasn\u2019t until 1995 when they played at Portland State University, of all places, that we all actually managed to see them perform and that show was cut short (literally cut short, as the plug was pulled on them mid song mid set) due to an enforcement of a noise ordinance. \u201cEvery little thing must go wrong\u201d indeed.\nSo, that is it. That is my way of side stepping actually writing with any detail about Jawbreaker\u2019s music, while recommending their music. They have been like an old friend who has seen me through my worst and celebrated with me through a few triumphs, and like the boat from their song \"The Boat Dreams from the Hill,\" I hope to \"begin again\" one day and maybe find the writing voice or inspiration that I once believed would come to me.\nI highly recommend all of their albums. They are all fairly easily attainable nowadays (unlike then). Former drummer, Adam Pfahler, has thankfully been reissuing their albums on his own Blackball Records over the last few years with great care. Please seek them out and experience them for yourself, if you haven\u2019t already done so.\nLabels: Adam Pfahler, Blackball records, blacklist mail order, Blake Schwarzenbach, Crocodile Records, frustration, Jawbreaker, music, proletariet, Shredder Records, writer's block, writing\nLola Nova April 29, 2013 at 1:51 PM\nJawbreaker will always remind me of... so damn much.

It feels good: every day a bit further from a long shadow.\nBut I\u2019m not sure one can ever completely escape it. I\u2019m no longer in my twenties. I\u2019m not certain any more that a full-time, long-term relationship is a desirable or even a natural thing\u2014see for instance Sex at Dawn: The Prehistoric Origins of Modern Sexuality. And starting something now feels different; looking at dating site profiles I sense the scent of real desperation. But I\u2019m not desperate, despite occasional loneliness and except in the sense that Leonard Cohen lamented regarding a time of life still distant to me: \u2018one just wishes for someone to have dinner with now and then\u2019 (I couldn\u2019t find the original quote).\nIt\u2019s mostly the possibility of a life of interminable financial servitude to my ex that supplies some sense of regret\u2014not for the divorce but for the whole sorry story in the first place\u2014and I think I must know a little of how the convict feels. The only advice I can offer here is: be damned sure; check the laws of your province/state and country, as in certain situations they certainly do not favour men; and consider pre-nuptials.\nHere\u2019s a (large) sparkline of my weight since my separation: hey, why not? Another data point.\nF. Scott Fitzgerald apparently wrote that \u201cthere are no second acts in American lives.\u201d I have no idea what book that might have been from, because I haven\u2019t read him. In fact I first encountered the quote in a review of a Springsteen album when I was young, said album\u2014The River (1980)\u2014being devoted to identifying and exploring said second acts. Anyway, I\u2019m Canadian. But I think the matter is undecided. Working with more limited financial and temporal resources, it\u2019s not entirely down to will.\nShall I wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach? The fuck if I know.

        "raw_content": "CATEGORIES : Case Studies Entertainment Trends SXSW Talk and Article Re-caps Transmedia Tools Uncategorized\nTAGS : audience business opportunities consumer decision making demand distribution entertainment trend fan engagement fan involvement ROI social consumption sxsw\nThe first notable case or example from SXSW that I would like to share with you in more detail is from the session \u201cThe Link Between Social Media and the Box Office\u201c, presented by David Herrin, Head of Research at the United Talent Agency. Herrin and his team have developed a tool called \u201cPreact\u201d which allows them to monitor social media conversations surrounding an upcoming movie, up to 365 days in advance.\nPreact doesn\u2019t measure views but what UTA calls \u201cengagement\u201d, i.e. the volume of posts regarding the movie. The resulting hits are classified into positive and negative comments and can be used by UTA and the producing studio as a status check to see what the public opinion regarding the movie in question is like at and up to that point. Based on the volume of posts and the sentiments expressed in them, Preact assigns the movie a number between 1 and 100 to predict the movie\u2019s box office performance (1 predicting a bad performance and 100 predicting an extremely good one).\nAs a result, studios and producers can see 12 to 6 months ahead of a movie\u2019s opening weekend how the movie will perform, and adjust their communication tactics if necessary to improve performance.\nIdeal Conversation Balance\nIn the ideal case, there is a balance between three factors: The volume of posts, a positive sentiment, and organic conversation. Organic conversation refers to posts that were created by users themselves, and not \u201cpush\u201d/advertising messages from marketing departments. If there is an imbalance between push and organic conversations, it leads to bad results. For example, if there is too much push communication in relation to organic conversation around an upcoming movie, it means that the users don\u2019t care about the movie enough to post about it themselves and to join online conversations about it. If there are too many organic posts, a studio\u2019s communication department might have to step up their game a little bit to make sure the users\u2019 interest in the movie is met with relevant information about it.\nConsequently, analysing both the Preact score of a movie and the nature/content of the online conversation surrounding it allows producers to spot potential messaging and overall communication issues early on. There are a variety of drivers of online conversations about a movie: Online trailers, early & smart TV buys, film festivals showing the movie, conventions, posters, and theater displays, for example. At the same time, however, the message from the producing studio must be clear, otherwise, the online conversation dies out or turns bad.\nPreact Example: 21 Jump Street\nIn the case of the recent adaptation of 21 Jump Street (2012) for example, evaluating the online conversation via Preact showed that the consumers didn\u2019t understand what the movie was supposed to be about, as it was not only a new adaptation, but had also changed the tone of the movie significantly. Sony reacted to these news by repeating trailers again and again and by showing different clips and trailers that gave consumers a better understanding of the new adaptation. 21 Jump Street went on to make over $200 million at the box office.\nPreact enabled Sony to adapt the communication tactics and message for 21 Jump Street (2012)\nAt the moment, Preact only evaluates the conversations taking place on Facebook and Twitter, but Herrin\u2019s team is already working on a tumblr integration. They are also planning on expanding the tool from the US American and Canadian market to other English-speaking regions soon (e.g. UK), and also to other key, non-English-speaking regions, such as China.\nThe case of Preact struck a particular chord with me due to its universal applicability. It is not very surprising that such a tool was developed by the movie industry; after all, Hollywood has desperately tried for years to find a formula or predictor of success for their multi-million dollar investments. Now, thanks to Preact, Hollywood seems to have taken a big step into that direction.\nHowever, the use of Preact extends far beyond the entertainment industry. Consumer brands could also make very good use of it and predict the performance of a new product launch, while news services could use the tool to detect the stories most relevant to their audiences. Needless to say, there are also countless applications for detecting trends early on; this knowledge could be useful for companies, investors, or anyone else running a business based on the prediction of trends and user behavior.",

        "raw_content": "Holiday Box Office \u2013 MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE \u2013 GHOST PROTOCOL Leads; WAR HORSE Opens Stronger Than Expected\nBecause of the unique release pattern of this year\u2019s holiday offerings, we are posting the weekend box office numbers one day later than usual. Yesterday\u2019s estimates for the three-day period did not include War Horse, which needed only one day in theatres to earn almost as much as We Bought a Zoo did in three. Please note that the chart below includes separate estimates for Friday-Monday that are NOT in the same order. I just couldn\u2019t come up with a better way to present what has turned out to be a very confusing Christmas at the box office.\nTitle Weekend 4-Day Total\n1 Mission: Impossible 4 $26,535,000 $46.2 $78.6\n2 Sherlock Holmes 2 $17,800,000 $31.8 $90.6\n3 Alvin and the Chipmunks 3 $13,325,000 $20 $56.9\n4 The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo $13,000,000 $19.4 $27.7\n5 Adventures of Tintin $9,125,000 $16.1 $24.1\n6 We Bought a Zoo $7,800,000 $15.6 $\n7 War Horse $7,500,000 $15 $15\n8 New Year\u2019s Eve $3,005,000 $5 $34.2\n9 Arthur Christmas $2,600,000 $2.7 $44.1\n10 The Darkest Hour $2,500,000 $5.5 $5.5\nFor those who wanted to keep track, a spreadsheet was the only way to make sense out of this year\u2019s holiday box office. With so many new releases, all coming out on different days, there was more than one way to dissect the numbers. Normally, we could look at weekend performance on a year-to-year basis; but last year Christmas fell on a Saturday instead of a Sunday. With one of the softest movie days of the entire year \u2013 Christmas Eve \u2013 taking the busiest day of the week out of play, hopefully you can see the difficulties that arise from any strict comparisons.\nConfusion aside, the unequivocal conclusion to draw from recent box office positions is that Mission: Impossible \u2013 Ghost Protocol is a hit. Since it officially expanded on Wednesday, the sequel has dominated the daily charts: posting numbers that outstripped all expectations. In a season that has seen disappointing starts from some of the most-anticipated releases, M:I 4\u2019s success has come as something of a surprise \u2013 especially considering the thud with which Mission: Impossible 3 landed back in 2006. Five years later, Ghost Protocol is on track to top its predecessor\u2019s final gross of $134 million. Merry Christmas Paramount!\nThings are not quite as merry for Warner Brothers. After what most conceded last weekend to be a disappointing start, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows has continued to be upstaged by M:I 4 entering its sophomore frame. The film was down more than 50% from last weekend (though that figure falls to a more cheery 20% if the four-day estimate is included). After eleven days, Sherlock 2 has earned an estimated $90.6 million, compared to the $141.6 that Sherlock Holmes took in over the same period in 2009. Granted, the first Sherlock had a different release pattern \u2013 debuting on Christmas Day (Friday) and avoiding the Christmas Eve slump. Still, considering that the film was expected to win this weekend outright not too long ago, it is difficult to spin these numbers in a positive light.\nAbout the best that can be said about WB\u2019s A Game of Shadows, in fact, is that it has beaten Sony\u2019s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo since the latter\u2019s release last Wednesday. Actually, David Fincher\u2019s version of the best-selling novel opened in some locations on Tuesday night, leaving the issue of its Wednesday estimate somewhat murky. By most accounts, Dragon Tattoo came in second for the day with just over $5 million while Sherlock 2 placed third with just under $5 million. That $5 million, however, included whatever Tattoo took in from its Tuesday \u2018previews\u2019 \u2013 a form of accounting that did not sit well with Warner Brothers. If fighting over second place seems pointless, welcome to this year\u2019s holiday box office! With so many movies competing for attention, little things mean a lot.\nFor The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, here again we see a film that has (thus far) fallen short of expectations. With $19.4 million earned over the four-day holiday, the drama has not turned out to be the kind of adult-audience lure that True Grit was over Christmas last year. The real test for the R-rated title will come over the next week, however. For films like Dragon Tattoo and Sherlock Holmes 2, the coming week promises to turn disappointing starts into decent multiples. We\u2019ll see what happens.\nOne film that is sure to benefit this week is Steven Spielberg\u2019s War Horse. While the director\u2019s long-awaited animation debut, The Adventures of Tintin, has failed to capture American audiences (earning just $24.1 million in its first four days), War Horse is turning into a holiday contender. Opening on Sunday in 2,376 locations, the film nearly doubled expectations with a two-day total of $15 million.\nMeanwhile, Christmas Day\u2019s counter-programming release, Summit\u2019s The Darkest Hour, earned a more modest $5.5 million from Sunday and Monday \u2013 though that was in line with most expectations. Overall, the box office was up slightly over 2010, a welcome bit of news for anyone who has been following recent charts. Thanks to the inconvenient scheduling of New Year\u2019s Eve, next weekend could be another confusing frame. Luckily, the studios are expecting some of the highest week-day volume of the entire year to compensate for any loss so\u2026 fingers crossed.\nScreenwriter Steven Zaillian Talks THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO, Sequels, and\u2026\nImages and Synopses for JACK THE GIANT KILLER, ARGO, THE LUCKY ONE,\u2026\n\u2022 Box Office \u2022 Entertainment \u2022 Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol \u2022 Mission: Impossible 3 \u2022 Movie \u2022 Sherlock Holmes \u2022 Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows \u2022 The Adventures of Tintin \u2022 The Darkest Hour \u2022 The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo \u2022 True Grit \u2022 War Horse \u2022 We Bought a Zoo",

        "raw_content": "With: Chantal Akerman\nWritten by: Chantal Akerman\nDirected by: Chantal Akerman\nChantal Akerman by Chantal Akerman (1997)\nCinema Selfie\nI first heard about this film when one of my favorite film critics, J. Hoberman, chose it as one of 1997's ten best films. And now I finally have been able to see it. Chantal Akerman, who died in 2015, made this impressive film for a TV show about \"filmmakers of our time.\" As she explains in the opening part of Chantal Akerman by Chantal Akerman, she chose a few names of directors, which had already been done. So she half-jokingly named herself, and the producers said \"yes.\"\nFollowing the format of the show, but still doing her own thing, Akerman begins with an \"interview,\" i.e. she speaks to the camera a little about what she wants to do for this film, and a little about her career. Then she proceeds with her original idea, a selection of clips of her films up to 1997, using them as if they were a large volume of daily \"rushes.\" The clips are beautifully chosen, not in any kind of chronological or alphabetical order, with black-and-white film rubbing up against bleary color video.\nThe combination manages to convey an emotional idea of Akerman's work, revealing an intelligence and a daring as well as a compassion for women. Clips of Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles (1975) and From the East (1993) are here, of course, but I was drawn to bits of more obscure films, like the black-and-white short film J'ai faim, j'ai froid (1984) and the TV film Portrait d'une jeune fille de la fin des ann\u00e9es 60 \u00e0 Bruxelles (1993).\nIf there is a quibble about Icarus Films' new DVD, it's that the clips of Jeanne Dielman look awful compared to the recent Criterion Blu-ray release, but this is easy to forgive, when the subject matter is so compelling. The DVD comes with trailers for three other Akerman-related works, Almayer's Folly (2011), No Home Movie (2015), and a documentary on her work.",

        "raw_content": "April 12, 2016 Carly Schesel3016 views\nMy name is Sean Mundy, and I\u2019m a photographer and digital artist. I would say that my work leans towards conceptual or fine art photography.\nAlthough along with being a photographer and digital artist, I\u2019m also a musician and producer, but photography as a whole comes easiest to me and is my preferred medium. I find it easier to be methodical and productive when it comes to creating photos, whereas with music it isn\u2019t as linear of a process and often takes a lot of re-working to make certain songs.\nI draw my inspiration from nearly every kind of art (film, music, painting, etc) and often practice compiling elements from works (the perspective a photo was shot at, for example) and mixing them together, and then filling in the final concept or general idea with something that I consider worth creating. There are of course moments where ideas do just \u201ccome\u201d to me, but I do not think waiting for pure inspiration to strike is the most productive way to be creative, so I build ideas slowly over time to make sure I have plenty of material to shoot as soon as I\u2019m done a project.\nTypically I come up with ideas before I attempt to create them. I\u2019ll draw them out roughly to make some kind of reference and plan out all the necessary steps to create the final image. Before I attempt creating the image, I usually let my ideas \u201csimmer\u201d for a while, and come back to them later in time (days, weeks, sometimes months) to try to look at the ideas more objectively and see if I\u2019m still interested in creating them.\nI don\u2019t think a specific theme or message overall that I aim to evoke, it typically varies from work to work or series to series. There are certain themes that run through my work , like Isolation, or Collectivism (in my Hollow series, in particular), but I think equally important for me is to set up a tense scene, but deliver it in an almost neutral un-dramatizied way.\nAt the end of the day, creating is one of the few things that I\u2019m really passionate about, and despite my output slowing down once in a while, I know I will always continue to do it. Putting ideas or works into the world and having people be able to react to, interpret, enjoy, or hate, is a pretty amazing thing, and if there is a possibility that someone might feel the same way about my work that I feel about someone else\u2019s, then that\u2019s all the more motivation for me.\nI rarely have creative blocks since as I mentioned earlier I almost always have ideas that I can attempt to shoot as I\u2019m coming up with more ideas than I can usually shoot at a given time, but there are times when I try to actively come up with new ideas but have difficulty. I find the best way to think objectively about ideas is to get out of your typical visual routine and look at things that you don\u2019t normally look at, whether it\u2019s a few new films in a style you don\u2019t usually watch, or a medium of art that you don\u2019t often see enough of.\nI think over time art will continue to become less controlled by the art establishment/academia, and that artists that are self taught or have no interest in pursuing careers in or through the gallery system will be able to reach levels of success that typically were only possible within those worlds. Thanks to the Internet, people can make successful careers with their art independently, and it\u2019s a pretty amazing thing in my opinion. In terms of content, I honestly have no idea; trends come and go, and for all we know a huge new movement or style in art is just about to happen.\nTo take what you do seriously and work with urgency. Even if you doubt your ideas or work, make serious attempts to create instead of being stagnant and overthinking everything. The worst case scenario is that you will not succeed in your vision of your art, but through the process of attempting you will no doubt learn something new and find yourself more informed about how to go about making that particular piece, or your practice overall.",

He focuses primarily on large format, black-and-white film, utilizing a variety of highly modified proprietary analog and digital printing techniques. Massaia always works alone and is the sole craftsman from the instant the negative is exposed to the moment the final print is produced.\"\n\"Utilizing slow black-and-white film, Massaia meticulously prints and tones his large-scale analog photographs in his darkroom back in New Jersey, which has been customized to produce prints up to 3.5 x 4.5 feet. The impressively rich, detailed gelatin silver prints exhibit a breathtaking tonal scale due to a stain developer called Pyro (notorious for its toxicity).\" Brian Clamp\nThey must be seen to be believed.

        "title": "Acupuncture",
        "raw_content": "Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine originated in China thousands of years ago, The World Health Organization has officially recognized acupuncture as suitable for the treatment of hundreds of common clinical disorders. It is also used for preventive care and health maintenance.\nOriental medical theory explains that human beings have a natural flow of energy through the body and that pain and disease are caused by an imbalance, deficiency, or blockage of this energy. Qi (pronounced chee) is the Chinese word for this vital energy that nourishes and activates our mind, body, and spirit.\nAcupuncture is a complex system of diagnosis that views the person as a whole. Acupuncture is practiced based on discerning the \u201cpattern of disharmony\u201d and treating accordingly. Modern acupuncturist utilizes other modalities such as herbal medicine, Moxibustion, physical exercise, nutrition, meditation, breathing exercise and more. The response solicited by the acupuncture point treatment is focused on balancing the body\u2019s systems which will in turn aid the body in functioning properly.\nAcupuncture is a therapy that uses the insertion of tiny thread-like needles to specific points on the body along meridians (energy channels of the body) that cross the body. As long as the energy flows freely through these pathways, health is maintained. When the flow of energy is disturbed for any reason, there is disruption in health, resulting in pain or illness. By stimulating appropriate acupuncture points along these meridians, the energy is regulated, and health is restored.\nWhat Should You Expect During Treatment?\nMost patients find the treatment very relaxing, are surprised to find how comfortable they are during an acupuncture treatment, and how easily and painlessly the needles are inserted. Some patients even go to sleep during treatment. A patient may feel a sensation upon insertion and pressure or a \u201cdull\u201d reaction when the needle reaches the correct depth of the point. The needles are far different (smaller and thinner) from hypodermic needles.\nOne of the great advantages of acupuncture is the absence of side effects. Needles generally cause no bleeding or pain, and most practitioners today use the disposable kind (I personally will not see any practitioner that does not use the disposable kind). There is minimal risk of organ penetration. Acupuncturists are trained in exact location, angle as well as depth of insertion of the acupuncture needle to avoid any injuries.\nNo two conditions or people respond exactly the same. The length of treatment depends on the condition, the severity, and the duration of the condition. For example, if you awoke this morning with a sore throat, fever, and body aches vs. you have been suffering from arthritis for the last ten years and you are twenty pounds overweight. The physical and emotional state of the patient is also important, as well as the compliance with your doctor instruction and recommendations.\nChinese herbology is a system of herbal treatment; it is not applied in the way that most herbs and medicines are used in our Western world. For example, all medicines (including herbal medicines) under western schools of thought are used because they are known to produce certain effects. Chinese Herbal Medicine was developed as an integral part of Chinese Medicine. It is used to re-harmonize imbalances in the body.\nAcupuncture appointments available with Jamie Jablonski or Julie Colby",

        "raw_content": "7 Steps to Increasing Peace in God and Making Life Work\nDo you want to live a lifetime? The peace of God is a lifelike catalyst. The greater is the peace of God, the more lives he fills. This article will increase the Lord's peace.\nPeace and peace be multiplied unto you by the knowledge of God and of our Lord Jesus \u2013 2 Peter 1: 2\nNo peace, saith the God of the wicked, Isaiah 57:21 AMP\nNow the body mind [which is sense and reason without the Holy Spirit] is the death [death that comprises all the miseries arising from sin, both here and hereafter]. But the Spirit of Spirit is Life and Peace [both now and forever] \u2013 Rome 8: 6 (AMP) Step 7\nJesus as a lord and saving resurrection is the first and most important step to experience God's peace in your life. Jesus is the bearer of God's peace. Therefore, the Lord's peace can only be if you have Jesus. Stand To Your Verified Position\nWhen you gave your life to Jesus, you proved by faith. You were released, declared righteous, and by faith they gave credit to God. As a member of God's family, your inheritance can enjoy the Lord's peace. You must stand in this high-ranking Christ and possess what you attribute to the creed.\n3. Let's be spiritually\nThe spiritual mind of life and peace forever and forever. But the body's idea goes hand in hand with crimes related to sin, including peace and ultimately lack of death. Therefore, to live a full life we \u200b\u200bmust think of God's things.\n4. Increase Your Knowledge of God\nIncrease this peace by knowing more about God and Jesus and what they can do. If you make sure that God will take care of you and all the problems around us, you will have more peace and joy in you. And you will live a fulfilling life, knowing that God will help you on every step of the way. Do not worry about anything\nAnxiety indicates that God's peace is lacking; that you do not fully trust in God. If you worry, you keep God away from you. And there can be no life without God. Anxiety-free life allows God to forsake the Lord's peace within you. Be Baseless in God's Love\nThe roots of God's love are a God full. Within God's love, he provides the richest of God's presence, which includes His peace. God's love provokes fear. But this is the Lord's peace that leads to a fulfilled life.\n7. Be a Work of Good Deeds\nImplementing good things is one of the seven steps to enhancing God's peace. There is no peace for the workers of wickedness. Peace comes from God, and what you do, you will live. The wicked can not take the evil and live the peace. Therefore, in order to enjoy the peace of God and to live a fulfilling life, you must constantly work out good deeds.\nConsequently, he can not live full life without God's peace. Eternal peace comes from God. The world is unable to offer. When you follow Step 7 above to increase the Lord's peace, you will surely enjoy the peace that money can not buy. Start today and experience your life in tremendous changes!",

        "title": "Image Resolution",
        "raw_content": "Image resolution is the detail an image holds. The term applies to raster digital images, film images, and other types of images. Higher resolution means more image detail.\nImage resolution can be measured in various ways. Resolution quantifies how close lines can be to each other and still be visibly resolved. Resolution units can be tied to physical sizes (e.g. lines per mm, lines per inch), to the overall size of a picture (lines per picture height, also known simply as lines, TV lines, or TVL), or to angular subtense. Line pairs are often used instead of lines; a line pair comprises a dark line and an adjacent light line. A line is either a dark line or a light line. A resolution of 10 lines per millimeter means 5 dark lines alternating with 5 light lines, or 5 line pairs per millimeter (5 LP/mm). Photographic lens and film resolution are most often quoted in line pairs per millimeter.\n1 Resolution of digital images\n1.1 Pixel resolution\n1.2 Spatial resolution\n1.3 Spectral resolution\n1.4 Temporal resolution\n1.5 Radiometric resolution\n2 Resolution in various media\nResolution of digital images\nThe resolution of digital cameras can be described in many different ways.\nResolution is the capability of the sensor to observe or measure the smallest object clearly with distinct boundaries. There is a difference between the resolution and a pixel. A pixel is actually a unit of the digital Resolution depends upon the size of the pixel. Usually, with any given lens setting, the smaller the size of the pixel, the higher the resolution will be and the clearer the object in the image will be. Images having smaller pixel sizes might consist of more pixels. The number of pixels correlates to the amount of information within the image.\nThe term resolution is often used for a pixel count in digital imaging, even though British, American, Japanese, and international standards specify that it should not be so used, at least in the digital camera field.[1][2]\nAn image of N pixels height by M pixels wide can have any resolution less than N lines per picture height, or N TV lines. But when the pixel counts are referred to as resolution, the convention is to describe the pixel resolution with the set of two positive integer numbers, where the first number is the number of pixel columns (width) and the second is the number of pixel rows (height), for example as 7680 by 6876. Another popular convention is to cite resolution as the total number of pixels in the image, typically given as number of megapixels, which can be calculated by multiplying pixel columns by pixel rows and dividing by one million. Other conventions include describing pixels per length unit or pixels per area unit, such as pixels per inch or per square inch. None of these pixel resolutions are true resolutions, but they are widely referred to as such; they serve as upper bounds on image resolution.\nAccording to the same standards, the number of effective pixels that an image sensor or digital camera has is the count of elementary pixel sensors [clarification needed] that contribute to the final image, as opposed to the number of total pixels, which includes unused or light-shielded pixels around the edges.\nBelow is an illustration of how the same image might appear at different pixel resolutions, if the pixels were poorly rendered as sharp squares (normally, a smooth image reconstruction from pixels would be preferred, but for illustration of pixels, the sharp squares make the point better).\nAn image that is 2048 pixels in width and 1536 pixels in height has a total of 2048\u00d71536 = 3,145,728 pixels or 3.1 megapixels. One could refer to it as 2048 by 1536 or a 3.1-megapixel image. Or, you can think of it as a very low quality image (72ppi) if printed at about 28.5 inches wide, or a very good quality (300ppi) image if printed at about 7 inches wide.\nUnfortunately, the count of pixels isn't a real measure of the resolution of digital camera images, because color image sensors are typically set up to alternate color filter types over the light sensitive individual pixel sensors. Digital images ultimately require a red, green, and blue value for each pixel to be displayed or printed, but one individual pixel in the image sensor will only supply one of those three pieces of information. The image has to be interpolated or demosaiced to produce all three colors for each output pixel.\nImage at left has a higher pixel count than the one to the right, but is still of worse spatial resolution.\nThe measure of how closely lines can be resolved in an image is called spatial resolution, and it depends on properties of the system creating the image, not just the pixel resolution in pixels per inch (ppi). For practical purposes the clarity of the image is decided by its spatial resolution, not the number of pixels in an image. In effect, spatial resolution refers to the number of independent pixel values per unit length.\nThe spatial resolution of computer monitors is generally 72 to 100 lines per inch, corresponding to pixel resolutions of 72 to 100 ppi. With scanners, optical resolution is sometimes used to distinguish spatial resolution from the number of pixels per inch.\nIn remote sensing, spatial resolution is typically limited by diffraction, as well as by aberrations, imperfect focus, and atmospheric distortion. The ground sample distance (GSD) of an image, the pixel spacing on the Earth's surface, is typically considerably smaller than the resolvable spot size.\nIn astronomy, one often measures spatial resolution in data points per arcsecond subtended at the point of observation, because the physical distance between objects in the image depends on their distance away and this varies widely with the object of interest. On the other hand, in electron microscopy, line or fringe resolution refers to the minimum separation detectable between adjacent parallel lines (e.g. between planes of atoms), whereas point resolution instead refers to the minimum separation between adjacent points that can be both detected and interpreted e.g. as adjacent columns of atoms, for instance. The former often helps one detect periodicity in specimens, whereas the latter (although more difficult to achieve) is key to visualizing how individual atoms interact.\nIn Stereoscopic 3D images, spatial resolution could be defined as the spatial information recorded or captured by two viewpoints of a stereo camera (left and right camera). The effects of spatial resolution on overall perceived resolution of an image on a person's mind are yet not fully documented. It could be argued that such \"spatial resolution\" could add an image that then would not depend solely on pixel count or Dots per inch alone, when classifying and interpreting overall resolution of a given photographic image or video frame.\nSpectral resolution is the ability to resolve spectral features and bands into their separate components. Color images distinguish light of different spectra. Multispectral images resolve even finer differences of spectrum or wavelength than is needed to reproduce color. That is, multispectral images have higher spectral resolution than normal color images. Spectral resolution is the ability to resolve spectral features and bands into their separate components. The spectral resolution required by the analyst or researcher depends upon the application involved. For example, routine analysis for basic sample identification typically requires low/medium resolution.\nTemporal resolution (TR) refers to the precision of a measurement with respect to time. Often there is a trade off between temporal resolution of a measurement and its spatial resolution due to uncertainty principle which is an inherent property of Fourier transform.\nMovie cameras and high-speed cameras can resolve events at different points in time. The time resolution used for movies is usually 24 to 48 frames per second (frames/s), whereas high-speed cameras may resolve 50 to 300 frames/s, or even more.\nMany cameras and displays offset the color components relative to each other or mix up temporal with spatial resolution:\ndigital camera (Bayer color filter array)\nLCD (Triangular pixel geometry)\nCRT (shadow mask)\nRadiometric resolution determines how finely a system can represent or distinguish differences of intensity, and is usually expressed as a number of levels or a number of bits, for example 8 bits or 256 levels that is typical of computer image files. The higher the radiometric resolution, the better subtle differences of intensity or reflectivity can be represented, at least in theory. In practice, the effective radiometric resolution is typically limited by the noise level, rather than by the number of bits of representation.\nResolution in various media\nThis is a list of traditional, analog horizontal resolutions for various media. The list only includes popular formats, not rare formats, and all values are approximate, because the actual quality can vary machine-to-machine or tape-to-tape. For ease-of-comparison, all values are for the NTSC system. (For PAL systems, replace 480 with 576.) Analog formats usually had less chroma resolution.\nAnalog and early digital[3]\n352\u00d7240 : Video CD\n333\u00d7480 : VHS, Video8, Umatic\n350\u00d7480 : Betamax\n420\u00d7480 : Super Betamax, Betacam\n460\u00d7480 : Betacam SP, Umatic SP, NTSC (Over-The-Air TV)\n580\u00d7480 : Super VHS, Hi8, LaserDisc\n700\u00d7480 : Enhanced Definition Betamax, Analog broadcast limit (NTSC)\n768\u00d7576 : Analog broadcast limit (PAL, SECAM)\n500\u00d7480 : Digital8\n720\u00d7480 : D-VHS, DVD, miniDV, Digital Betacam (NTSC)\n720\u00d7480 : Widescreen DVD (anamorphic) (NTSC)\n720x576 : D-VHS, DVD, miniDV, Digital8, Digital Betacam (PAL/SECAM)\n720x576 : Widescreen DVD (anamorphic) (PAL/SECAM)\n1280\u00d7720 : D-VHS, HD DVD, Blu-ray, HDV (miniDV)\n1440\u00d71080 : HDV (miniDV)\n1920\u00d71080 : HDV (miniDV), AVCHD, HD DVD, Blu-ray, HDCAM SR\n1998x1080 : 2K Flat (1.85:1)\n2048\u00d71080 : 2K Digital Cinema\n3840x2160 : 4K UHDTV\n7680\u00d74320 : 8K UHDTV\n15360x8640 : 16K Digital Cinema\n30720x17280 : 32K resolution\n122880X69120 : 128K resolution\nSequences from newer films are scanned at 2,000, 4,000, or even 8,000 columns, called 2K, 4K, and 8K, for quality visual-effects editing on computers.\nIMAX, including IMAX HD and OMNIMAX: approximately 10,000\u00d77,000 (7,000 lines) resolution.

        "raw_content": "When I would read:\nIf I speak human or angelic languages\nI am a sounding gong or a clanging cymbal.\nand understand all mysteries\nand all knowledge,\nand if I have all faith\nso that I can move mountains\nAnd if I donate all my goods to feed the poor,\nand if I give my body in order to boast\nbut do not have love, I gain nothing. (1 Corinthians 13:1-3)\nI always thought about this love being our love to one another. However, the Lord was faithful to remind me of His Greatest Commandment in relation to this scripture. Suddenly, the verses have a completely different meaning!\nOf all things that we are to do, the absolutely most important one is that we must love our God. These verses, when interpreted as being about our relationship with our Lord, now has great relevance to today's church.\nWhile they may not say it out loud, people today expect God to love them and reward them because of their actions. They give and study and pray and help others, then they expect God will see these deeds and be impressed. However, God is not impressed if these things are not the product of our love for Him. He certainly expects us to do good deeds, for He says, \u201cFor we are His creation, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared ahead of time so that we should walk in them.\u201d(Ephesians 2:10). Note that these deeds are the specific ones that He has prepared, not just any nice-sounding action.\nYet, all of our actions have zero affect on God's love. Right at this moment, God loves you more than you can imagine. If you now go out and kill a dozen innocent people, He will still love you more than you can imagine. If, instead, you go out and bring a hundred people to Christ, He will still love you more than you can imagine. This love without conditions, is foreign to our human experience and could only come from an amazing God.\nYet, there are many people who go through the motions of Christianity, but without the love relationship with the Lord, but they all find it to be unsatisfying. Doing life like this feels dry and empty. Yet for many people, they are deceived into believing that this is all there is.\nThe essence of Christianity isn't in reading the Bible or attending church or helping others, it is in love. The primary love must be to the Lord, then secondarily it is to others. If you look around at other people to see how they practice their Christianity, you can't see the love they have for God, it isn't visible, but it is still the single, most-important thing that we need to be doing with our life.\nIt is easy to think of prayer, worship, thanksgiving and praise as Sunday morning activities, but we are called to live these in activities. These things are to become a lifestyle. We are called to love the Lord at all times and under all circumstances, these are our acts of love. Walking in an ongoing stance of praise and thanksgiving, is both a product of our love and feeds our love. Out of that flows many blessings of the Christian life.\nThe righteousness that will save us from the pits of hell, must be a product of a love relationship. Our effective prayer life (James 5:16) is a product of that love relationship. The blessings of peace, hope and strength are also products of love. It is while we are spending time loving and being loved by God that He speaks most generously to us.\nOur love for the Lord is not there because we give it lip service. We show our love when we walk through life in full awareness of His presence with us. Paul speaks of \u201ca mature man with a stature measured by Christ's fullness.\u201d (Ephesians 4:13) That fullness is how much of Christ we allow into our lives. It is by walking through life loving the Lord that we invite His presence to be with us.\nWhen we love somebody, we think about them, they are never very far from our minds and hearts. The Bible suggest that we abide in Him and then He will abide in us. This isn't a matter of spending time together once a week, this is a matter of not allowing ourselves to be separated.\nHis Holy Spirit lives inside us, but when we allow ourselves to focus on the things of the world, then we push Him aside. When we love Him, then He can grow in His influence on our lives. As we love Him, then we grow in an awareness of the enormity of His love for us. It is that awareness that allows Him to fill us, as Paul explains:\nI pray that you, being rooted and firmly established in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the length and width, height and depth of God\u2019s love, and to know the Messiah\u2019s love that surpasses knowledge, so you may be filled with all the fullness of God. (Ephesians 3:17-19)\nThis scripture says that through knowing the reality and extent of God's love, that we will be filled. This is amazing in its simplicity.\nWe can do life alone and empty or we can love Him and be loved by Him. When the target of our love is the Lord, then this is the basic building block of what we were meant for.",

        "raw_content": "Red Sox shut down Pedroia (knee) for rest of '18\nRed Sox say not enough time for Dustin Pedroia to return in '18\nBoston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia has been shut down for the rest of the 2018 season but is expected to be ready for next year, the team said.\n\"I'm excited going forward,\" said Pedroia, who returned to Fenway Park on Friday for the first time in two months. \"It stinks I'm not going to be able to play.\"\nPedroia, 35, played only three games this season after undergoing a cartilage-restoration procedure on his left knee last October.\nThe surgery was expected to keep him out for approximately seven months. He returned to the lineup May 26 but was back on the disabled list June 2 with soreness in the knee.\n\"I don't look back and say we did anything wrong,\" Pedroia said. \"I was cleared to play and feeling fine.\"\nPedroia underwent additional arthroscopic surgery on his knee in July to clear up scar tissue, making it three surgeries in 10 months. But he was still hoping he could play this season.\n\"We went through all the steps during the whole year, but we ran out of time,\" manager Alex Cora said. \"We've got to take care of the individual. ... He's OK with the decision. ... He'll be ready for next year, no doubt about it.\"\nPedroia, a four-time All-Star and one-time MVP who has spent his entire career with Boston, will stay with the team through the season.\n\"It's tough not being able to help out the guys,\" Pedroia said. \"But it's been great watching them and how great the year's been. We've done a lot of great things. It's that time of year where you're pushing to win the World Series.\n\"It'll be great to here and watch the guys try to accomplish that,\" he said.\nAlso Friday, Cora announced that Boston ace Chris Sale, who has been on the disabled list with shoulder problems, will be the \"opener\" on Tuesday. Sale will go two innings, with a 40-pitch maximum, and will then be replaced by Nathan Eovaldi.\nSale has had two stints on the DL in the past six weeks and has made only one start since July 27. He is 12-4 with a 1.97 ERA and 219 strikeouts in 146 innings this season.\nCora said Sale will pitch every five days after the Tuesday start; he is slated to go three innings in his second start, then four innings, building up to six innings and 100 pitches in his last start.\nPedroia plans to keep working out in Boston and aims to help his teammates out in whatever capacity he can. He has been texting with them after big wins and to give pep talks to players struggling at the plate.\n\"I watched every pitch. I didn't miss anything,\" Pedroia said.\nWhile he doesn't regret coming back in May, he's disappointed all of the rehab he's done didn't allow him to play more this season.\n\"I knew all along it would be tough. It's a surgery that requires time. And once you give it time you'll be fine,\" Pedroia said. \"It's been 10 months since the first big surgery. So a lot of rehab and hard work and time put in. That's what I'm most upset about is you work that hard and you don't get a chance to do it.\n\"But looking at the big picture it's the right thing to do.\"\nPedroia said the ordeal hasn't been without mental ebbs and flows, however.\nHe said it wasn't until about \"probably six weeks ago\" that he felt like he would be in position to return as the type of player he was before the injury.\n\"You play the hand you're dealt and move on,\" Pedroia said.",

        "title": "aikidowagga | Founder of Aikido",
        "raw_content": "you are in: Home Page > Aikido Yuishinkai > Founder of Aikido\nThe founder of Aikido was Master Morihei Ueshiba (1883-1969). He created Aikido as a path to universal harmony and world peace, believing that Aikido was a way of attaining this goal and that violence and aggression could be turned aside by harmony of spirit.\nAlthough invincible as a warrior, he was above all a man of peace who detested fighting, war, and any kind of violence. His way was Aikido, which is known as the \"Art of Peace\". Morihei Ueshiba is known to Aikido students everywhere as O-sensei, \u2018Great Teacher'.\nMorihei Ueshiba sought out and studied under masters in many traditional martial arts, eventually becoming expert at a number of styles of jujutsu (unarmed combat), kenjutsu (fencing) and sojutsu (spear fighting).\nAs his reputation grew, O-sensei opened his first full-size aiki-budo dojo in 1931 in Tokyo. Students came from all over Japan to train with him. During World War II he moved to Iwama in Ibaragi prefecture to farm and study in peace. He opposed Japan's participation in the war. During this period O-sensei was inspired to rename his art \"Aikido\".\nDissatisfied with mere strength and technical mastery, O-sensei also immersed himself in religious and philosophical studies. O-sensei understood that continued fighting -with others, with ourselves, and with the environment - will destroy the earth. He said: \"The world will continue to change dramatically, but fighting and war can destroy us utterly. What we need now are techniques of harmony, not those of contention. The Art of Peace is required, not the Art of War\".\nO-sensei taught the Art of Peace as a creative mind-body discipline, as a practical means of handling aggression and as a way of life that fosters fearlessness, wisdom, love and friendship. He believed that its principles of reconciliation, harmony, cooperation, and empathy could be applied bravely to all the challenges we face in life: in personal relationships, in business, and in our interactions with nature.\nO-sensei continued to practice and teach Aikido into his old age. Observers would marvel at his abilities, vitality, and good humour; he was still giving public demonstrations of Aikido at 86, four months before his death. O-sensei's approach to self-development was intense and unflagging. He constantly refined his art. Just before his death he said, \"This old man must still train and train\". After he passed away on 26 April 1969, the Japanese government declared Morihei Ueshiba a Sacred National Treasure of Japan.\nThe secret of Aikido is to harmonise ourselves with the movement of the universe and put ourselves in accord with the universe itself. He who has penetrated the secret of Aikido has the universe within him, and may truly say - \"I am the universe\".\nI am never defeated, however quickly the enemy may attack me. This is not because my technique is quicker than my enemy's attack. It is not a question of speed. The fight is over before it has even started.\nWhen an enemy tries to fight with me, the universe itself, he must inevitably shatter the harmony of the universe. At the very moment he decides to fight me, he is already beaten. There is no measurement of time - neither fast nor slow.",

        "raw_content": "Pg. 69: Jennifer Cody Epstein's \"The Painter from Shanghai\"\nThe current feature at the Page 69 Test: Jennifer Cody Epstein's The Painter from Shanghai.\nReminiscent of Memoirs of a Geisha, a re-imagining of the life of Pan Yuliang and her transformation from prostitute to post-Impressionist.\nDown the muddy waters of the Yangtze River and into the seedy backrooms of \u201cThe Hall of Eternal Splendor,\u201d through the raucous glamour of prewar Shanghai and the bohemian splendor of 1920s Paris, and back to a China ripped apart by civil war and teetering on the brink of revolution: this novel tells the story of Pan Yuliang, one of the most talented\u2014and provocative\u2014Chinese artists of the twentieth century.\nJennifer Cody Epstein\u2019s epic brings to life the woman behind the lush, Cezannesque nude self-portraits, capturing with lavish detail her life in the brothel and then as a concubine to a Republican official who would ultimately help her find her way as an artist. Moving with the tide of historical events, The Painter from Shanghai celebrates a singularly daring painting style\u2014one that led to fame, notoriety, and, ultimately, a devastating choice: between Pan\u2019s art and the one great love of her life.\nAmong the praise for The Painter from Shanghai:\n\"In this age of memoir and thinly veiled autobiographical fiction, writers who take high dives into deeply imagined waters have become increasingly rare \u2014 and valuable. What a pleasure, then, to discover that Jennifer Cody Epstein, whose luminous first novel, \u201cThe Painter From Shanghai,\u201d is based on the actual life of Pan Yuliang, a former child prostitute turned celebrated painter, also happens to be one such writer.... In an epigraph, Epstein quotes the American painter John Sloan, who wrote that 'though a living cannot be made at art, art makes life worth living. It makes starving, living.' In the end, this is precisely what Epstein illustrates in her moving characterization of Pan Yuliang, who even as an abused young girl notes the way a 'slap mark glows red at first but fades slowly to peach-pink,' and as an adult, torn between her love for her husband and her desire to be unconstrained as an artist, chooses the nourishment of her work: 'She cocks her head ... and starts anew. She paints until the light outside has seeped away into the black sky; until the monks go home and the mourners leave, and all that\u2019s left is the soft click of the gamblers\u2019 ivory.'\u201d\n--Sarah Towers, New York Times Book Review\n\"Epstein's sweeping debut novel, set in early 20th-century China, fictionalizes the life of Chinese painter Pan Yuliang. Born Xiuquing, she is orphaned at a young age and later sold into prostitution by her uncle, who needs the money to support his opium habit. Renamed Yuliang, she becomes the brothel's top girl and soon snags the attention of customs inspector Pan Zanhua, who makes her his concubine. Zanhua sets her up in Shanghai, where she enrolls in the Shanghai Art Academy and early on struggles with life study, unable to separate the nude's monetary value from its value in the currency of beauty. She eventually succeeds, winning a scholarship to study in Europe. But when she returns to China, itself inching toward revolution, the conservative establishment is critical of Yuliang, balking as she adopts Western-style dress and becomes known for her nudes (one newspaper deems her work pornography). Simmering resentments hit a flashpoint at a disastrous Shanghai retrospective exhibit, and the fallout nearly destroys Yuliang's artistic ambition. Convincing historic detail is woven throughout and nicely captures the plight of women in the era. Epstein's take on Yuliang's life is captivating to the last line.\"\n\"Fans of Arthur Golden's Memoirs of a Geisha and Lisa See's Snow Flower and the Secret Fan will enjoy this engrossing story of a woman forced to choose between following her heart and pursuing her art.\"\nLearn more about the novel and author at Jennifer Cody Epstein's website.\nJennifer Cody Epstein has written for Self, the Wall Street Journal, and the Chicago Tribune. She has published short fiction in several journals and was a finalist in a Glimmer Train fiction contest.\nThe Page 69 Test: The Painter from Shanghai.",

        "title": "Did Jesus Support the Confederacy?",
        "raw_content": "Did Jesus Support the Confederacy?\nI continue to receive these idiotic emails from something called Dixie Broadcasting, which is apparently an extension of Dixie Outfitters. I\u2019ve asked to be taken off their list, but thus far they\u2019ve refused. The latest email included a list of suggested readings which draws a very close connection between Christianity and the political goals of the Confederacy, high-ranking Confederate commanders, as well as the common soldier. Of course, I am not suggesting that religion was not important to white southerners, but if we were to go on popular perceptions of the Civil War alone one must conclude that Jesus did indeed hold a cabinet position in Jeff Davis\u2019s government. Memory is sometimes very funny.\nUpdate: One of my readers posted a critical comment that I would like to briefly address. First, I did not post the image with the idea of alienating my readers the day after Easter. As I indicated in the comments section I received the email this morning and decided to respond. The reader believes the image to be offensive and I am sensitive to that but at the same time I am curious as to why. After all, Christian themes, and the image of Jesus specifically, are all too common in contemporary images of the Lost Cause. Is the problem that I am the one posting the image to make a point or could the problem be that Jesus has been photoshoped into Davis\u2019s cabinet? Perhaps the problem is the assumption that the individual who photoshoped this had nefarious intentions. That said, I decided to delete the image rather than have people think that I am taking cheap shots at Christianity which I have no intention of doing. Click here if you are interested in viewing the image and scroll down to the second frame.\nInstead, I give you my favorite Mort Kunstler print.\nBob Pollock Mar 24, 2008 @ 13:03\nI think the answer to this is in Lincoln\u2019s \u201cMeditation on the Divine Will.\u201d He wrote:\n\u201cThe will of God prevails. In great contests each party claims to act in accordance with the will of God. Both may be, and one must be wrong. God cannot be both for and against the same thing at the same time. In the present civil war it is quite possible that God\u2019s purpose is something different from the purpose of either party\u2026 He could have either saved or destroyed the Union without a human contest. Yet the contest began. And having begun He could give the final victory to either side any day.\u201d\nIf God decides the course of human events, He was decidedly on the side of the Union.\nB.Parks Mar 24, 2008 @ 13:22\nYou are digressing at an alarming rate. This blog has become less about intelligently examining historical memory and more about making inflammatory remarks in order to instigate a reaction. You\u2019ve turned into a shock jock. Too bad.\nB. \u2014 I am sorry that you feel this way. That said, I don\u2019t feel as if I\u2019ve digressed whatsoever with this post. I am simply making the point (one that I\u2019ve made in much more detail in the past) that we tend to remember the white South as more religious or of certain individuals as more naturally associated with Christianity. I find that unusual. Why don\u2019t we see images of Sherman or Grant in prayer or think of the United States as motivated by religious concerns during the Civil War? This is an important question for those of us who are interested in our popular perceptions of the war.\nImages of Confederate generals in religious scenes or interpreted as carrying out the work of Christ dominate our popular memory. Why isn\u2019t it reasonable to ask whether Jesus would have supported the government that the armies were working to render permanent?\nI don\u2019t think there is anything here that remotely counts as \u201cinflammatory.\u201d Thanks for taking the time to write.\nIt just seemed a bit ironic that the day after the most holy of Christian days, when the resurrection is celebrated, you post this image and comment. You had to know that it would upset some. With respect those that propose the notion that God smiles upon the victor in war is also wrong, as according to that logic, God would have favored the Viet-Cong in that conflict. I personally think he looks down on wars and shakes his head in disgust at us.\nB.\u2013 You are probably right that I should have waited and for that I apologize. I posted it simply in response to the email I received this morning. I recently came across the image and thought it went well with my point, which was hopefully made clearly in the post as well as in my last comment to you.\nI tend to agree with your last comment. It seems to me to be quite absurd for anyone to appropriate God, Jesus, etc. for their political purposes. But that is business as usual in our Civil War culture. In fact, someone is going to have to explain to me how the image is offensive given that so many people are comfortable with a close association between Jesus and the Confederacy. Is it that I have used it in a way that is seen as inappropriate because I am questioning that connection? Perhaps it is the fact that Jesus is photoshoped into the image.\nWayne Fielder Mar 24, 2008 @ 19:53\nI mean absolutely no disrespect Mr. Parks but, HUMBUG to your suggestion that Kevin is straying from the path with his blog content AND that this post is inflammatory.\nPersonally I think his picture makes his point crystal clear. When I hear the Confederate apologists go on about how Tom Jackson was so pious or how General Polk stopped to pray in Harrodsburg after the vicious fighting at Perryville I\u2019m left to wonder if these people have forgotten all the abolitionists in the north east that had at the center of their argument a very strong biblical foundation. I think about all the Union Chaplains who saw to the moral welfare of their regimental \u201cflocks\u201d.\nHindsight is a wonderful thing. We make people do all kinds of things. We turn tyrants to martyrs and make philosophers of loons. From what I\u2019ve read the soldiers on both sides, whether General or Private, were just people. Some were faithful and some were not. Some were upstanding gentlemen and some were not. For those of us in the 21st Century to consider their motives after 145+ years beyond what they may have written is a fool\u2019s errand in my opinion.\nAs a reenactor I have to seriously(yes, some of us are serious) consider this question as I present the impression of a man living in the 1860s. When I work with a site whether it\u2019s a battlefield like Camp Wildcat or Richmond Kentucky or a formal Depot like Camp Nelson I have to be careful how I present myself. My job isn\u2019t to show visitors what I believe these people **SHOULD** be. My job is to show them how they WERE. A difficult task to be sure. As a Kentuckian, if I held to the apparent popular notion of the \u201cyankee\u201d then I\u2019m actually insulting the very people I\u2019m trying to portray.\nWith that in mind, I think his post is well on target and worthy of consideration.\nAs for this post being inflammatory, I can certainly see how the Dixie Outfitters folks might be inflamed but beyond that I just don\u2019t see it. Christians have no prohibition against showing the \u201cimage\u201d of Christ. Unlike some of our more radical Islamic friends, we don\u2019t kill people because they but a mustache on a picture of Jesus.\nWayne, \u2014 Thanks so much for the comment. The worst part of this is that the people who push this silliness have very little interest in understanding religious history; rather, they quote the same lines and tell the same stories over and over as some kind of mantra. Americans on both sides of the Potomac expressed a profound interest in Christianity and to suggest or favor one side\u2019s religious convictions over another or suggest that one side was more sincere than the other is simply a reflection of the individual in question and has almost nothing to do with the past.\nBorder Mar 25, 2008 @ 9:13\nBob Pollock:\nOnly if might makes right.\nFollowing the Civil War the Glorious Union proceeded with Westward Expansion- using coolie (slave) labor and displacing and decimating the native tribes of the west.\nGod\u2019s will?\nmatthew mckeon Mar 25, 2008 @ 20:08\nThese people are too sensitive. There is always a battalion of folks quick to take offensive at any religious imagery. I liked the original pix better.\nBorder \u2013 You missed the word IF in my assertion. I personally am not convinced that God does direct the course of human events. Nevertheless, is there any doubt that many of the leaders of the Confederacy believed God was on their side? Did they not assume their early successes on the battlefield meant they had God\u2019s favor? And when they were not successful, they called for more devotion and prayer, believing they were perhaps being divinely chastised for not being good enough. One of their greatest challenges after the war was explaining why God had not favored them with victory. Some argued that God had taken away thier slaves, not because slavery was inherently evil, but because they had not done a good enough job taking care of them. The point is, during the war, loss or victory on the battlefield was an indication of divine will. Afterwards, they were left to rationalize, which modern day supporters of the Confederacy are still doing.\nBy the way, in his Cooper Union address Lincoln said he hoped right would make might. Perhaps that is what happened.\nMatthew, \u2013 I agree with you, but I need to do a better job of picking my battles. In the end I would have had to deal with comments surrounding the image rather than the point I was making.\nTim Abbott Mar 25, 2008 @ 21:26\nIt is interesting that subverting Christian iconography as social commentary has incensed one of your readers. I wonder whether folks who feel this way had the same reaction to those Danish cartoons of the prophet Mohammed? I would suspect it depends on whose golden calf got gored. What ever happened to the 2nd Commandment (and no, that\u2019s not the one about my Divine right to regulate my militia)?\nHi Tim, \u2014 My guess is that most of them have no idea what you are referring to. I agree that it is just a bit absurd that one could be offended by that image given the ways in which Christian iconography has been utilized for social and political purposes in the past. The image in question was fairly tame, but at the same time points to an assumption that many no doubt find believable. And that is that southerners are more religious compared to northerners. Such a comment has nothing to do with reality, but with memory which gets passed down in various ways, including Civil War prints which overwhelmingly align Confederate leaders with Christ.\nFinally, as I stated in my previous comment I have to pick my battles.\nLeave a Reply to B.Parks\tCancel reply\nNext post: The Lost Cause in Lucca, Italy\nPrevious post: The Lost Cause is Alive and Well in Italy",

        "raw_content": "Home / Magazine / Read / Do Bacteria Cause Alzheimer's?\nMore Information about Alzheimer's Disease http://www.alz.org/facts/\nAdditional Resource: \u201cAre microbes stealing your mind?\u201d By David Ewing Duncan, The Daily Beast\nAs cases of dementia rise with an aging population, a new company is exploring a controversial theory and novel solution\nThis article comes from an edited transcript of the Arc Fusion Talk delivered by Casey Lynch on April 21, 2015. Watch the video here.\nThe next hundred years of aging \u2013 what will it look like? My biggest fear is that our bodies are living longer and longer but our brains still have the same short half-life. This is the path we're on. You can see the rate of Alzheimer's going up and up as people are living longer. We may be able to avert that path. We may be able to treat brain disorders by refocusing what we're looking at and treat other disorders of aging by looking not just at human proteins but at the bacteria, the microbiome, living within us.\nIn 1982 the Australian physician and researcher Barry Marshall and his collaborator Robin Warren discovered that the bacteria H.pylori could be cultured from, and was a likely cause of, ulcers. This was met with extreme skepticism from the establishment because everybody knows that ulcers are caused by spicy food and stress. In 1984 he went so far as to drink a petri dish of the bacteria to prove his case. He got various GI symptoms and in 2005 the pair was awarded the Nobel prize for this discovery, and ulcers are now treated with antibiotics. This was a long path to prove his case.\nDr. Steven Domini is a UCSF psychiatrist with a specialization in HIV dementia. He knew pathogens can cause brain disorders. What other pathogens might be causing brain disorders? He called me in June 2013 and said \u201cI think I've found a bacterial cause of Alzheimer's disease.\u201d I'm an entrepreneur with a background in Alzheimer's research so I was intrigued. Like many others I've been frustrated by the string of failures of Abeta [Amyloid beta] targeted therapy.\nAbeta has been the focus of billions and billions of dollars and a huge amount of research. Ninety five percent of the money has gone into this target but most of the studies are failing, so I was excited about a novel approach.\nThis is what Steve showed me. These are neurons and they've been stained for a toxic bacterial protein. This bacteria secretes enzymes which literally digest our cells for food. And this brown staining is showing that. These neurons are not very happy. They are falling apart. In a normal human we don't see this staining.\nBut we all know the difference between correlation and causation. Just because these bacterial protease are in human brains does not mean that they're causing Alzheimer's disease. So we set out to do a number of experiments to prove to ourselves and the rest of the community that this was indeed a credible theory and that we could develop treatments targeting it. The first thing we did was look at as many human brains as we could get our hands on. So far we've looked at 43 Alzheimer's patients and every single one of them has this bacterial protease in their brain. We've looked at 30 preclinical cases \u2013 these are people with pathology but they're not diagnosed. \u2013 they also have it in their brain, every one of them.\nIn healthy people some people are clean but some people do have small levels of this bacteria and its proteases. We think those people are on a path either to Alzheimer's or maybe they just look like accelerated aging. We don't know yet. The other thing we did to prove causation is to infect mice. Bacteria gets into their brain, causes degeneration, causes cognitive dysfunction and triggers Abeta \u2013 this protein that everyone else has been obsessed with.\nWe think natural aging creates these leakages in the blood brain barrier. The bacterial load creates ligatures in the blood brain barrier. If you have any genetic risk, it can increase this leakiness, giving some people Alzheimer's disease. What about younger people? What if you had multiple concussions that increase the permeability of your blood brain barrier? You might get dementia in your 20s or 30s like some football players are ending up with.\nWe're working on a therapeutic. This particular bacteria is quite resistant to broad spectrum antibiotics. The more we understand about the microbiome the more we know we don't want to wipe out all of these good bacteria. That just clears the way for the pathogens to take over. We're developing a very narrow spectrum antibiotic which also protects the site of toxicity of the bacteria. This is a general approach. It's hard to discover these bacteria because they have imperfect penetrants.\n\"So far we've looked at 43 Alzheimer's patients every single one of them has this bacterial protease in their brain.\"\nBeing infected in one area of your body might be fine, having a low level infection might be fine, but having a higher level in a different organ or in your brain clearly could cause more problems. They have a very long lifecycle so these pathogens don't want to kill their host like Ebola for example. You don't get infected and then two weeks later you have symptoms and you die off. These pathogens are very tricky. They want their host to live a long time. They can hibernate. They can stay undercover for a long time. So the process of discovering them is going to be difficult but I'm really excited about the possibilities it presents.\nCasey Lynch is the CEO of Cortexyme and the Founder and Managing Director of NeuroInsights.",

Water is a poor conductor of electricity, a good insulator and a good solvent.\nIn baking, water usage originates from a local source providing tap water. Regardless of origin, it must be in drinkable form to be used in baking. Water varies in mineral content, which contributes to the hardness of the water. The level of minerals makes it the challenging part of using water as an ingredient in baking \u2013 unless the bakery itself has a water softening system or similar control systems \u2013 to regulate the hardness of the water.\nWater is responsible for triggering all natural chemical processes in dough, controls dough temperature, and hydrates dough components. Specifically, water is one of the major components in baking, and thus many bakers use lower tempered water or use water to maintain the temperature of their batter or dough. First upon addition of water, starch particles are hydrated, dough is initially formed, and subsequently water molecules begin hydrating proteins that form gluten. Three distinct factors in the quality of a water sample have a vast impact on dough characteristics as well as final bread attributes. Taste, Chemical Content, and Mineral Content variations in water are the three factors crucial to aspects of baking.\nCalcium, Magnesium, and Sodium, in large or minute amounts, determines the hardness or softness of water. Minerals provide nutrients to the yeast; therefore, a change in mineral concentration will directly affect fermentation. A change in the fermentation will affect the dough characteristics, making it stronger or weaker.\nHard Water \u2013 High mineral content. When used in baking, dough exhibits high strength and fast fermentation.\nSoft Water \u2013 Low mineral content. When used in baking, dough exhibits low strength and slow fermentation. May need yeast nutrients to improve fermentation.\nDough development is challenging in the wide spectrum of baked goods, in response to utilizing soft and hard water. Water has a prominent effect on final product attributes. Cakes, pastries, and cookies, as well as tortillas or crackers, also react to water substantially.\nWant to know more about the water that feeds your bakery? Surf your watershed.",

        "raw_content": "Arkansas Torah Finds Home in Guatemala\nSynagogue NewsArkansas Torah Goes to Guatemala\nA Torah from closed down reform temple in Pine Bluff Arkansas has found new life in Guatemala City.\nBy Jan Jaben-Eilon\tApril 3, 2017, 4:52 pm 0 Edit\nAdat Israel in Guatemala City welcomes its new Torah, a gift from the defunct Congregation Anshe Emeth in Arkansas.\nLast June, when Karen Kahn Weinberg drove from her Atlanta home to her hometown in Pine Bluff, Ark., to attend a Shabbat and de-sanctification service at Congregation Anshe Emeth, a 149-year-old Reform Temple that was closing its doors, she had no idea that the trip would take her to Guatemala City less than a year later.\nBut at a February Shabbat service at Adat Israel in Guatemala City, about three dozen congregants and visitors heard Weinberg read from the same Torah that she read during a Yom Kippur service at Anshe Emeth in 2011 \u2014 a Torah now being donated to the Guatemalan congregation.\nIt also was the yahrzeit of Weinberg\u2019s father. Her mother had died three days before the closing service of Congregation Anshe Emeth, where her family had been members for generations.\nRabbis Joseph Edelheit and Elyse Goldstein join Karen Kahn Weinberg on the bimah.\nAt that de-sanctification service, Weinberg learned that one of the synagogue\u2019s two Torahs would be donated to Megiddo \u2014 part of the Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta\u2019s sister region in Israel \u2014 while the other would go to the young congregation in Guatemala City.\n\u201cImmediately I told Rabbi Gene Levy that I\u2019m going to Guatemala,\u201d Weinberg said. \u201cAnd Gene said, \u2018If you\u2019re going, I\u2019m going.\u2019 \u201d\nRabbi Levy, who is retired in Little Rock and had served Anshe Emeth for three years on a part-time basis, commissioned a wooden container for the Torah for its transport from Arkansas to Guatemala. He bought Transportation Security Administration-approved locks in case security needed to open the box.\nWhen he was insuring the Torah, he was asked its age. \u201cI said, \u2018Moses brought it from Sinai,\u2019 \u201d Rabbi Levy said with a laugh at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, where he was waiting for another flight just weeks after traveling to Guatemala. \u201cWe wrote \u2018fragile\u2019 all over the box, and it was shipped with oversized luggage. We went through Atlanta, and there were no problems at customs.\u201d\nWith Rabbi Gene Levy at her side, Karen Kahn Weinberg reads in Guatemala City from a Torah donated by the synagogue her family attended for generations in Pine Bluff, Ark.\nOn a Friday night in Guatemala, the Torah was unpacked from the wooden box, swathed in a new red cover and placed in the congregation-made ark by Toronto-based Rabbi Elyse Goldstein, a volunteer rabbi at Adat Israel, and Rabbi Joseph Edelheit, a Rio-based representative from the World Union for Progressive Judaism, which helped arrange the donation.\nThe next day, reading from a Hebrew/English/Spanish siddur, about 30 people participated in Shabbat services.\n\u201cI gave a history of the Pine Bluff congregation,\u201d Rabbi Levy said, \u201cand then I called on Karen to read the first Torah portion.\u201d\n\u201cI said a few words in Spanish while the daughter of Adat Israel\u2019s president, Jeannette Orantes, translated in English,\u201d Weinberg said. \u201cI said, \u2018This warm and welcoming community is helping me to heal after saying goodbye a year ago tonight to my father, and three months later my mother joined him, and three days after that my hometown synagogue had their de-sanctification service.\u2019 \u201d\nShe added, \u201cMy lifelong dream was to chant Torah in a Spanish-language country.\u201d\nWhen Weinberg was a teenager, she spent a summer abroad in Spain with her older sister.\n\u201cI totally connected with the language and culture, even though I\u2019d only had one year of Spanish before that,\u201d she said. She majored in Spanish at Tulane University\u2019s Newcomb College in New Orleans and spent a semester at the University of Madrid.\n\u201cI was so blown away by the congregants at Adat Israel,\u201d said Weinberg, the president of B\u2019nai B\u2019rith\u2019s Achim/Gate City Lodge in Atlanta. \u201cThe people are so passionate about Judaism.\u201d\nRabbi Goldstein said Weinberg added a lot to the Shabbat service. \u201cShe brought the continuity of Pine Bluff and the spirit of someone who had read it. Here was a person who had a relationship with the Torah,\u201d she said. \u201cHaving everyone there from all over, coming from so far and being so into it, really touched my congregation. It was special for everyone \u2014 poetry in motion.\u201d\nRabbi Goldstein, who became Canada\u2019s first female rabbi in 1983, was introduced to Adat Israel nearly a decade ago through a friend who had adopted a child from the Central American country. She traveled to Guatemala and attended services in the congregation\u2019s house, which had been provided to Adat Israel.\n\u201cThe whole community came to meet us. There were 24 beautiful people, passionate about being Jewish,\u201d Rabbi Goldstein said. Some were converts. Others were Jews married to non-Jews. Some believed they were descendants of Jews exiled during the Spanish Inquisition.\n\u201cSome had Sephardic last names. Some had stories about their grandmother lighting candles on Friday nights. They fell in love with me, and I with them,\u201d Rabbi Goldstein said.\nEver since, she has served as Adat Israel\u2019s volunteer rabbi, traveling to Guatemala at least once a year and Skyping and emailing with the congregants year-round.\n\u201cHaving its own Torah makes the congregation feel more real,\u201d she said. \u201cIt reflects legitimacy and stability. Karen\u2019s participation gave it historical context, and Rabbi Levy\u2019s participation brought the American Jewish community to us. Rabbi Edelheit made it clear that our congregation is part of an international family. We are not alone. We are part of the Reform Jewish family.\u201d\nThe feeling of being a part of a worldwide movement \u201cwas palatable and powerful,\u201d Rabbi Goldstein added.\nAnd the legitimacy came not just from abroad, she said. \u201cWe invited the Orthodox rabbi (from Guatemala City), and although he did not attend, he wrote and congratulated us.\u201d\nAdat Israel",

        "raw_content": "Pick Up Girls - Opening Lines To Pick Up Girls\nAsking women out isn\u2019t exactly rocket science, but yes, it most certainly is an art form. Many men have the whole package but often get tongue tied when trying to initiate a conversation with a pretty girl. It\u2019s no secret that the best way to pick up women is with a good opening line and if you are creative then you can easily come up with a few witty pick up lines of your own.\nHere\u2019s a brief look at a few effective opening lines that work 9 times out of 10 in most situations:\nHelp! : Women are quite helpful by nature. So if you see a pretty girl you like, you can always walk up to her and say something like, \u201cHello, I\u2019m new in town and was wondering if you could recommend a good place for a cup of coffee\u201d and then when she makes a suggestion, it would only be polite of you to ask her to join you by saying some thing like \u201cwould you also care to join me for a cappuccino?\u201d\nA Simple Hi: Often times, a simple friendly greeting like a \u201cHi\u201d or \u201cHello\u201d can work where most opening lines fail. For instance, if you are at a park on a nice day, you can always say something like \u201cHi! Great day to be out huh?\u201d and then initiate a conversation based on the response you get.\nFind an Opening to Speak to Her: One of the great ways to start a conversation with a woman is to give yourself an excuse to speak to her. For example when the girl you like passes by, say something like \u201cExcuse me, I think you might\u2019ve dropped this\u201d and then if you have some simple item like a pen in your pocket, ask her if it belongs to her. Once you have her talking to you, you can then follow it up with something like \u201cI think I\u2019ve seen you around, do you come here often?\u201d\nGet her Opinion: Another great way of approaching women is to ask for their opinion about something, especially on things that you know they are sure to have an opinion on. For example, at clothing store, you can ask a woman something like \u201cExcuse me, can you please tell me what you think of this shirt, I\u2019m completely lost when it comes to fashion?\u201d\nLaughter\u2019s the best medicine: Being funny is perhaps one of the best weapons to help break the ice with a beautiful girl. For instance, on a rainy day, you can say something funny like, \u201cExcuse me, I hope you\u2019re carrying an umbrella on you because it\u2019s been proven that sugar melts in water!\u201d\nFlattery Works! : Nothing works better than a sincere complement when it comes to picking up women. So if you see a pretty girl, try walking up to her and say \u201cExcuse me, are you OK? Because it looks to me like you fell straight out of heaven!\u201d\nApart from these, there are many different opening lines you can use to pick up women. So just be a little creative, add a dash of style and a pinch of confidence and you should have a recipe that all women will fall for.",

        "raw_content": "The more intensely we feel about an idea or a goal, the more assuredly the idea, buried deep in our subconscious, will direct us along the path to its fulfillment. ~ Earl Nightingale\nWe are all aware of the existence of our subconscious mind but not its power. Spiritual leaders have always stressed the role our subconscious mind plays in our lives but recently scientists and doctors have also admitted its existence and power. So, it is time you also know the facts about your subconscious mind and use it to create a better life.\nThe subconscious mind \u2013 a few facts\nThe human brain has always received attention from scientists and researchers due to its complexity. Through studies, researchers have established the existence and working of the conscious mind and how it grows with age. However, the subconscious mind has remained out of the gambit of scientific studies till some time back.\nToday, several studies have proved its existence and how it is programmed. The subconscious mind is like a supercomputer. Strangely enough, its working is different from the conscious mind.\nThe subconscious mind is not responsible for creative thinking. We program it through our thoughts and habits. Actions, when repeated multiple times become habits and the subconscious mind uses these to control our lives.\nOur belief system is largely formed by the things we are told to do since childhood. We add our personal experiences to them and create our perception of reality. The subconscious mind feeds on this. It cannot distinguish between reality and imagination and what you show to it is stored permanently.\nMoreover, it is believed that the subconscious mind stops growing at the age of ten and hence most of our dreams contain symbols that we witnessed as children.\nThe subconscious mind works independently of the conscious mind and in over 95% of cases, the decisions we take are controlled by it. The way we interpret reality and derive conclusions, perceive fears and dangers are all governed by the subconscious mind.\nThe subliminal mind has tremendous power. It operates at a staggering 40 million bits of data per second. Most of our emotions, reactions, behavior are determined by it and in most cases we don\u2019t even understand that.\nHow to control the subconscious mind\nWe humans have wonderful abilities to control our life and with proper teaching and practice can even tame the subconscious mind.\nBeing aware of our thought process and how we form perceptions and take decisions will help in understanding the working of the subconscious mind.\nFocusing on our thoughts and changing them slowly to be more positive can help to control the subliminal force. We need to replace the thoughts and beliefs that have been ingrained in the subconscious mind with new ones.\nBeing aware of it and believing in its power will allow us to tune our consciousness to the subconscious mind and we can tap its power to create the life we dream of.",

        "raw_content": "\u2018When Armed Forces Require Land for Security Reasons They must Limit Acquisitions to What is Essential and Provide Adequate Compensation\u2019\nPosted by Administrator on 4 August 2012, 7:59 am\nProf. Rajiva Wijesinha MP\nby Prof.Rajiva Wijesinha M.P.\nI have noted previously that the failure of government to make its position clear on a number of issues has been one of the main difficulties about Reconciliation.\nI say this because, by and large, the government position on most issues has been extremely positive, and inadequacies are more due to inefficiency than policy. But because the system does not encourage transparency, very good practices do not get the appreciation they deserve.\nWith regard to Resettlement, the government achievement in sending back so many within a couple of years to their original homes has not been paralleled in other countries which have suffered similar conflicts. Our determination to discourage the displaced from establishing themselves elsewhere, and instead concentrating on returns, with efforts to build up essential infrastructure, has borne fruit in the enhanced economic activity we see in both North and East.\nCertainly the North has not taken off as rapidly as the East, but the fact that so many in the Vanni are able to live off the land, and build up their own houses and businesses, is a tribute to the plans that were implemented so expeditiously, with roads and irrigation and electricity in a much better condition than could have been imagined two years back.\nHowever a failure to explain clearly the policies involved, and involve the people in the process, has led to some resentment. In particular, we did not do enough to get rid of the culture of dependency that life in welfare centres induces, with handouts and responsibility for shelter and food going hand in hand with opportunities to earn money that can then be spent on other things.\nTo put it crudely, the complaints I get about alcoholism in almost all areas suggests that there is no great shortage of funds, and that we should have done more to revive the culture of self-reliance that the last few years has damaged.\nI believe the initial start up support given by government with Indian and UNHCR assistance was enough for most people, and basic shelters have in many cases now been transformed into solid homes. However it was also desirable to provide housing for the vulnerable, and this has been done on a major scale by the army and some NGOs, with a massive Indian programme also in implementation to help several more of the displaced.\nHowever, we failed to make it clear that this full scale support was intended only for the most vulnerable, and that others, with earning capacity restored, were expected to build up their own homes. For this purpose, we should also have done more concerted training for the construction industry that we knew would be so important, and indeed I found the brightest amongst the former LTTE combatants who attended the entrepreneurship workshops conducted on my decentralized budget keep to set up construction companies, with special attention to piping and other lucrative specialist work.\nUnfortunately we did not set in motion early enough the credit schemes that would have laid the foundations for such entrepreneurship. And instead, in part because of the pleasure politicians take in giving handouts, we laid greater stress on assistance rather than encouraging self reliance. Thus we still find people waiting for houses and pointing out resentfully that others have benefited, and we fail to make clear the policies that should have made such assistance redundant.\nWe have also not been clear about the rationale for not giving basic assistance to those who had been displaced earlier. While we should make it clear to those displaced in 2009 that they have got more help to assist with swift resettlement than those who had suffered earlier \u2013 and for much longer periods, such as the Muslims expelled by the LTTE in 1990 \u2013 we must also make it clear to these earlier victims of terrorism that, since they have had some relief in the areas in which they had sought refuge, and have developed livelihoods there, they cannot have the same level of assistance.\nAt the same time we should recognize an obligation to provide basic assistance to those who are still languishing in camps, who had not benefited from the housing schemes that were constructed during the last five years with World Bank assistance.\nIn short, we need to explain very clearly why assistance has been provided at the various levels at which government has worked, and why those provided with support that enabled them to return swiftly and resume their original occupations should get on with their lives instead of awaiting further assistance.\nAnd we should also be developing more and better programmes for employment generation, vocational training with soft skills, entrepreneurship development, micro-credit with particular attention to women and women\u2019s cooperatives.\nBetter information mechanisms would also help with regard to land issues. These can be divided into;\na. Provision of title for those who had worked on land before displacement\nb. Settling conflicting claims between owners and those who had occupied /worked on land after the original owners were displaced\nc. Returning lands occupied by the Security Forces or other government institutions or else acquiring them legally and providing adequate compensation\nProvided the principle of giving concerned parties a hearing and avoiding injustice is affirmed, settling these issues should not be difficult. With regard to the provision of title, it should be noted that there was a policy problem for many years.\nWhile the SLFP which was the principal partner in the 1970 government that instituted land reform basically wanted to empower the peasantry, its Marxist partners believed in a philosophy of state ownership, and therefore perpetuated the principle of permits that required renewal \u2013 which was a recipe for disaster with the upheavals that followed.\nGovernment should therefore, as indeed was envisaged through the Bim Saviya programme, move swiftly to correct this historical anomaly, and bestow ownership on all those who can lay claim to have worked on particular lands.\nWhere there are conflicting claims, they should give primacy in chronological order, but ensure adequate compensation for others who have worked on specific lands, by providing alternatives. A similar principle should apply with regard to lands which owners abandoned, which were then occupied by others.\nThe Minister of Justice has now pledged that the legislation prepared by the Law Commission to deal with such conflicting claims will be introduced soon, and this should be given priority.\nWith regard to lands occupied by government agencies, I believe the problem is aggravated by those who use it as a stick with which to beat the armed forces, which is a populist activity appealing to many. While I have no doubt the forces should move swiftly to settle cases in which they are involved, we should also remember that there are others of different sorts. The two cases of which I have personal cognizance, one involving the family of a former TULF MP who seems sadly to have been forgotten by his successors, involve occupation by a Grama Sevaka and a putative orphanage.\nI believe that, if the forces require land for security reasons, they are entitled to take it over with adequate compensation. This should not be a matter of others telling them what they should acquire or not acquire, but equally the forces should limit their acquisitions to what is essential, and should explain why this is needed.\nThey should also decide swiftly on what is essential, because three years after the conflict ended is time enough for making decisions and for informing stakeholders accordingly. Where land or buildings are needed for a further period, but not permanently, as in the case of the many police stations where building on new sites is proceeding slowly, owners should be assured of dates for vacation.\nGovernment should realize that transparency on such matters is not only right, it is also of practical benefit. In the few cases I have experience of at Reconciliation Committee meetings, I have found both the forces and those who had raised questions very willing to listen to the other. Opportunities for such interactions should be provided, and discussion encouraged, because as with so many things in life, contention develops when interaction is avoided.\n\u00ab Kannagi the Heroine of Silappathikaaram Epic is Pathini Deiyo\nSri Lanka Bar Association Executive Committee files petition in Appeal Court over Minister Bathiudeen Affair \u00bb",

We are currently seeking a good home where this instrument can be cherished.\nPossessing a broad and assertive character, it would make an ideal instrument for a medium-size congregation (a building seating between 300 and 500 people), or a good second instrument for a larger building with ample space to accommodate the large footprint, which is approximately 14\u2032 wide, 14\u2032 deep and 20\u2032 high (center facade pipe). We are currently providing the instrument \u201cfree with installation\u201d, and estimate the cost to install the instrument, including the correcting of some minor issues, to be in the order of magnitude of $60,000.

        "raw_content": "Home>Articles about Croatia>History of Split. The base, the development, the emergence of Split\nHistory of Split. The base, the development, the emergence of Split\nHistory of Split\nSplit - the second largest city in Croatia and oneof the oldest cities in Europe. Today, located on the Adriatic coast, Split is a popular tourist destination and a major transportation hub.\nIn the 4th century BC Split in place there was a small ancient Greek settlement Aspalatos or Spalatos. By the end of the 3rd century in the region firmly entrenched Romans founded here the province of Dalmatia, the administrative and economic center of which was located not far from Aspalatosa Salona (ruins of the Roman salons and can be seen today in the suburbs of Split - town of Solin). The subsequent fate is unknown Aspalatasa. It is possible that in the background of a flourishing salons Aspalatas was gradually abandoned, although reliable data that can confirm this version was not found.\nAbout 300 years BC Roman emperor Diocletian commanded to build on the shore of the picturesque bay (where once perhaps an ancient Aspalatos) magnificent palace, planning to settle there after his retirement. The works were completed in 305, and it is from this time and is officially a modern history of Split, the heart of which actually became Diocletian palace complex. Today Diocletian's palace is the hallmark of Split, and perhaps the best preserved and impressive example of palace architecture of the Roman period.\nAfter the collapse of the Roman Empire, Dalmatia wasunder the control of the Western Roman Empire, and after it ceased to exist in the region for some time dominated by the Goths. However, in the 535-536. Dalmatia was again dominated by the Romans, or rather the Eastern Roman Empire, better known in history as the Byzantine Empire.\nIn the 7th century, the Salon in the accident and the invasionSlavs was looted and virtually destroyed. Part of the population was killed, some escaped and hid in the sea surrounding the islands, and the rest took refuge behind the walls of the old Diocletian's Palace. Salon longer and has not been restored, and its former inhabitants, who decided then to return to the mainland and settled for the palace walls. The population grew steadily, and soon the city limits have expanded, going far beyond the palace.\nIn the 10-11 centuries, most of Dalmatia waspart of the Kingdom of Croatia. Split same and several other coastal cities and islands de jure belonged to Byzantium, while experiencing a huge influence on the part of Croatia, which naturally could not help but reflect on the cultural development of the city. Split remained in Byzantine authorities (except for a short period in the early 11th century, when the city was voluntarily under the protection of Venice) almost to the end of the 11th century, and then came under the control of the Venetian Republic. By this time, Croatia and Hungary entered into a personal union and, of course, had a certain perspective on Split. At about this time, and begins a long struggle for the split between the Hungarian kings and Venetian dozhami. At the beginning of the 12th century Split acknowledged the supremacy of the Hungarian-Croatian crown, while maintaining autonomy. The following century, the city grew rapidly and prospered.\nAt the beginning of the 15th century Hungarian king soldSplit, Venice, and the city lost its independence. During the reign of the Venetians split as an important trading port was substantially strengthened. Despite numerous attempts by the Turks capture, Split, Venice remained a part until 1797. Venetian era has had a huge impact on the development of the city, making it not only an important trade and economic center of the region, but also a major cultural center.\nIn 1797, after almost four hundred yearsthe Board of Venice Split was dominated by Austria. In 1806, during the Napoleonic Split wars came under the control of the French, but in 1813 returned to Austria, as part of which he remained until 1918, becoming then part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (from 1929 - the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, and since 1945 - the People's Federal Republic of Yugoslavia).\nDuring the Second World War Split was occupiedItalian troops and repeatedly bombed. Postwar same time Split was a period of economic and demographic boom, as well as large-scale industrialization.\nBy the time of the proclamation in 1991 of Croatiaindependence in Split based pretty impressive garrison of the Yugoslav People's Army, which resulted in a prolonged and intense confrontation. The apogee of the city was the bombing of the Yugoslav military ship \"Split\". As a result, in the 90 years the economy experienced a sharp drop in Split, but by 2000 had recovered, and the city began to develop.\nPhotos of Split\nPrices in Grodno - products, souvenirs, transportation. ...\nExcursions in Minsk.

        "title": "Clinton and Perry aren't running for president \u2013 really they're not - latimes",
        "raw_content": "Clinton and Perry aren't running for president \u2013 really they're not\nThe secretary of State and the governor of Texas tell Fox News' Chris Wallace that, truly, they aren't interested in the Oval Office.\nNovember 28, 2010|Andrew Malcolm\nOne of the perennially fun things about following American politics is tracking the people who say they are not running for president.\nThe fact is, somewhere around 310,767,362 Americans will not be running for president in 2012. Most of them will not bother making a formal announcement of what they are not going to do.\nThose who do run for president will make a formal announcement \u2014 perhaps several to maximize free media coverage \u2014 long after everyone already has figured out they are running. And for the Republican wannabes, those announcements will likely come next spring.\nWhat's intriguing now is those people who announce they are not running, often without prodding. Howard Dean, the notorious Iowa imploder, did so recently.\nThink of it this way: If one Saturday noon out of the blue your teenager announced he was not going to the mall, where is the first place you'd look for him later if necessary? For some reason, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton chose Australia as the place to say she was not running again. Flashback to her statements that she was not dropping out of the 2008 Democratic presidential primary \u2014 repeated right up until her actually dropout.\nSo, on \"Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace,\" the host pursued the following line of questioning:\nWALLACE: You made some news recently in Australia when you ruled out running again for office in 2012 and 2016. Why?\nCLINTON: Well, first of all, I love what I'm doing. I can't tell you what it's like, Chris, to every day get to represent the United States, and it's why I feel so strongly about every issue from, you know, START to Afghanistan.\nWALLACE: But are you \u2014 are you categorically saying that you are done with political office ...\nCLINTON: I \u2014 I have said ...\nWALLACE: ... elected office?\nCLINTON: I have said it over and over again, and I'm happy to say it on your show as well. I am committed to doing what I can to advance the security, the interests and the values of the United States of America.\nI believe that what I'm doing right now is in furtherance of that, and I'm very proud and grateful to be doing it.\nWALLACE: So you're done with elective office?\nCLINTON: I am. I am very happy doing what I'm doing, and I am not in any way interested in or pursuing anything in elective office.\nHistory suggests over time such statements can become malleable. Usually, they say something like, \"I have no plans to run for president.\" No one has any plans to run until they actually do. Clinton seemed to leave the door open until that last \"I am.\"\nFreudian slip aside, Texas Gov. Rick Perry seemed equally firm later on the same program:\nWALLACE: All right. You brought up running for the presidency. You have repeatedly said that you are not going to run for president. Why not, sir?\nPERRY: I think being the president \u2014 or, excuse me, being the governor of a state like Texas or, for that matter, Oklahoma or New Mexico, is a more pivotal job in the future. I do indeed hope there's someone that says, \"I'm going to go to Washington, try to get back to our constitutional roots, devolve this centralization of government back to the states.\" So why would you want to be up there if the action is down here in the states?\nWALLACE: And just one last question along those lines, and we're running out of time. When you took the job as head of the Republican Governors Assn., did you have to make a commitment that you would not run for president?\nPERRY: Oh, I've made that commitment every time I've been asked, and that commitment still stands.

        "title": "State Exemption Laws: Pitfalls to Avoid (Part 1) \u2013 The Asset Protection News",
        "raw_content": "Howard Rosen, Esq. & Patricia Donlevy-Rosen, Esq. May 1, 2004 No Comments on State Exemption Laws: Pitfalls to Avoid (Part 1)\nVolume XIII, Number 1 \u2013 May 2004\nINTRODUCTION. All states provide some degree of \u201casset protection\u201d through state exemption laws which shield certain types of assets, such as homestead, wages, annuities, life insurance and retirement funds (\u201cexempt assets\u201d). This issue of the APN is the first of two parts addressing the most frequent failings of individuals attempting to implement asset protection on their own by using (or failing to properly use) state exemption laws.\nBACKGROUND. Many individuals attempt to implement asset protection on their own, and, as a result, often invest in assets that provide neither the maximum return, nor optimum asset protection. In addition, investments in exempt assets are often made without proper estate tax considerations. Individuals should proceed with caution and utilize experienced counsel before attempting to utilize state exemption laws.\nPITFALL #1: NOT GETTING ADVICE OF EXPERIENCED COUNSEL BEFORE USING STATE EXEMPTION LAWS. This is one of the biggest mistakes made. Often an individual attempts to use creditor exemption laws provided by the state in which he/she resides, but goes about it in a way which does not always obtain the desired exemption. As a result, one may expose assets to more liabilities than anticipated, and may receive no or less protection from third party claims than could otherwise be obtained. In addition, sometimes using state exemptions causes one to forego other investment opportunities with greater appreciation potential. Obtaining competent legal counsel will result in greater protection of assets with less exposure to liabilities and headaches, as well as provide flexible estate planning.\nPITFALL #2: NOT CONSIDERING WHAT THE EXEMPTION LAWS OFFER. Almost as foolish as not getting competent advice is not even knowing what exemption laws apply to the state in which one currently resides. Individuals often hear or read something, and take it as gospel. Speakers and articles tout, for example, the protection afforded by putting assets in a spouse\u2019s name, or titling assets jointly with a spouse. The state in which an individual resides (or the state in which an individual\u2019s real property is located) may not afford the same protection as another state may afford. An individual needs to know which state is his primary residence for purposes of litigation (which may not be the same as the one where the individual works or has a business), and what exemptions are available for residents of the state, and to what extent they are available to the individual given the specific circumstances of the individual. For example, Massachusetts provides more generous homestead protection to someone over a certain age or with a disability. Since real property is governed by the laws of the state in which it is located, if an individual owns property outside his state of residence, the individual will need to know what, if any, protections are available in that state for the real property. However, one must also keep in mind that when real property is owned by an entity \u2013 such as a trust, limited partnership, limited liability company or corporation, other laws may come into play, and homestead exemptions will likely not be available. Individuals need to have a qualified professional periodically review their assets to insure that they are held in the manner providing the best protection.\nPITFALL #3: CHANGING ONE\u2019S STATE OF RESIDENCE. People move across state lines. When they do so, they often forget to have their wills redone, and to have their asset holdings reviewed in light of the laws of their new state of residence. For example, an individual moving to Florida from Delaware (which has no homestead protection) may fail to take advantage of the generous homestead (unlimited value) protection afforded by Florida for an individual\u2019s primary residence. Conversely, moving may cause the loss of protection. For example, Florida provides a 100% wage exemption for the head of a family, whereas Georgia limits it to 75%. Thus, an individual who is the head of a family who moves from north Florida across the border into Georgia may not realize that a substantial portion of his wages are no longer protected. Another example where primary residence matters is in the case of IRAs and SEP/IRAs and 509 Plans. Plans which are not \u201cERISA-qualified plans\u201d (such as the aforementioned) are protected in some states, such as Florida, Kansas, New York, and Wisconsin by statute, but not in others. Whether and to what extent an individual\u2019s non-ERISA plan is protected must be determined by reviewing the applicable state law. If the individual moves from a state that protects IRAs to one that does not, the individual loses the protection for the individual\u2019s IRA. One should seek competent counsel before one moves residence to another state, from an attorney familiar with the exemption laws of the intended state of residence.\nPITFALL #4: CONVERTING NON-EXEMPT ASSETS INTO EXEMPT ASSETS AT THE WRONG TIME! Another problem we often see is when one attempts to protect assets after there is some threat of a claim by converting non-exempt assets into exempt assets. An exemption from attachment, garnishment, or legal process provided by a state\u2019s statute will likely not be effective if the individual fraudulently transferred or converted the asset. Any conversion that results in the proceeds of the asset becoming exempt under state law from the claims of one\u2019s creditor may be a fraudulent asset conversion as to the creditor, whether the creditor\u2019s claim arose before or after the conversion of the asset, if the debtor made the conversion with the intent to hinder, delay, or defeat the claim of the creditor. In other words, a court can order the transfer/conversion to be undone, and thus make the asset available to the creditor. This problem will be avoided if one undertakes and completes asset protection planning before there is any claim against one. (See APN, Vol. I, No. 5).\nPITFALL #5: TITLING THE ASSET IMPROPERLY. Just because one owns an asset otherwise eligible for exemption under state law doesn\u2019t make it automatically exempt. The asset must be titled in the specific manner which will allow the individual to claim the exemption. For example, state law may provide a homestead exemption that makes all or part of an individual\u2019s primary residence in the state exempt from the individual\u2019s creditors. Generally only a natural person (i.e., a human being) may claim homestead protection, and that natural person must have legal title to the property. Thus, if the individual\u2019s principal residence is owned by a limited liability company, a limited partnership, a corporation or a trust, the individual may lose the exemption. For example, an individual\u2019s home in Florida would be 100% exempt from the claims of his/her creditors. Were the individual to place the home in a family limited partnership \u2013 the homestead protection would be lost, and a creditor may have a way to reach the otherwise exempt asset. Yet another reason one should have the manner in which ones assets are titled reviewed by competent counsel.\nCONCLUSION. Use experienced, qualified counsel \u2013 and stay tuned for the rest of our series on pitfalls to be avoided in using state exemption laws!\nBy Howard Rosen, By Patricia Donlevy-Rosen, Newsletters\n\u2190 Legislative Update: Cook Islands \u2013 2003 State Exemption Laws: Pitfalls to Avoid (Part 2) \u2192",

        "raw_content": "When it comes to purchasing something that has something to do with vehicle service warranty, one thing about it that you should be aware of is the fact that it depends on your personal choice. According to some of the states and the countries around the world, they are actually referring to vehicle service warranty as some sort of insurance claim that they can turn to once something happened to their vehicle. On the other hand, there are other states and countries as well that pertained vehicle service warranty as some sort of service contract for your vehicle wherein if there is something wrong with that you have no knowledge about or if it has been existing even before your bought the car, you can take it back to them. Notwithstanding whether you come from a country or a state that thinks of it as an insurance or a cars protection plus, this service warranty will do you lots of good things such as enabling a third party to be responsible for repairing your vehicle on covered parts for the time that is specified on the contract you signed during your purchase of your vehicle.\nThe other option that you can choose from when it comes to this kind of matter is to take all the risk by yourself. When something will go wrong with your vehicle and it will require for an immediate repair, this means that you will have to shoulder the cost for the repair and surely, this kind of thing only happens when the warranty that is within the contract you signed when you purchased the vehicle has already expired. Knowing whether or not a vehicle service warranty is the right choice for you to opt for is a good thing is not always an easy thing for you to do.\nAnd for you to be guided on what you should do regarding this matter, we have listed down below some of the things that you have to take into consideration when deciding to whether get a vehicle service warranty or not.\nThere are several information that we want you to consider regarding this matter like knowing the original warranty given by the manufacturer; how old is your vehicle and how many miles has it traveled already; the past performance of your vehicles; your annual mileage; to decide whether to get a new vehicle in the near future or just keep the old one; how well you handle risk, and also; your finances and the way you take repairs that are unexpected. As what we have stated above, the things that we have mentioned here are so important that it is capable of influencing the decision you will make regarding to choose to have vehicle service warranty or not.",

The answer is World Long Drive. Thanks to the Ak-Chin Indian Community the World Long Drive Association is making its first ever tour stop in Arizona, bringing 400+ yard drives and national television coverage on Golf Channel to the Grand Canyon State.\nThe \u201cAk-Chin Smash in the Sun\u201d will be taking place May 11-15, 2018, adjacent to Harrah\u2019s Ak-Chin Casino and the Ultrastar Multi-tainment Center at Ak-Chin Circle. The competition will take place on a natural grass \u201cgrid\u201d (with stadium seating) that is being created and manicured, specifically for the event. The final rounds on the evening of Tuesday, May 15th will be televised in primetime on Golf Channel, creating the fourth nationally televised professional golf event in Arizona for 2018 (following the LPGA, Champions Tour and PGA Tour, respectfully) and marking the first ever nationally televised World Long Drive Tour stop occurring in Arizona.\n\u201cI think most people have seen bits and pieces or heard of the World Long Drive events through the years, but with Golf Channel coverage and the Ak-Chin Indian Community\u2019s support, this will truly be a spectacle in the desert in May,\u201d said Brady Wilson, General Manager of Ak-Chin Southern Dunes Golf Club. \u201cAs cool as this event is to watch on television, I encourage everyone to come down and experience the event in person. It truly is the Home Run Derby or Dunk Contest of Golf and it is an incredible amount of fun.\u201d\nThe event will feature a 32-man field competing in the Open Division based on World Long Drive rankings, along with a Women\u2019s Division field of 16 competitors. Qualifying rounds will narrow the field to eight men and four women advancing to take part in the televised portion of the competition on Golf Channel. As part of the WLDA tour event festivities, there will be two-days of open qualifying on May 11-12 for a chance of earning a spot in the field at the 2018 Volvik World Long Drive Championship in September. Meaning, if you hit it far and want to drop down a $40 entry, you too can get your shot at qualifying.\nIn addition, a World Long Drive Pro-Am will be held on Tuesday, May 15 at Ak-Chin Southern Dunes Golf Club where select guests will be invited to play alongside the WLD Tour professionals and have an up close view of what a 400+ yard drive looks and sounds like. Those interested in playing and participating in the Pro-Am are encouraged to contact Ak-Chin Southern Dunes, as only a select few spots for the event are available for purchase.\n\u201cThe Ak-Chin Indian Community is excited to partner with Golf Channel to bring World Long Drive and the first nationally televised sporting event to Maricopa, Arizona,\u201d said Ak-Chin Tribal Chairman Robert Miguel. \u201cWe think this event will bring people to our Community where they can enjoy our local entertainment options, including Harrah\u2019s Ak-Chin Casino, UltraStar Multi-tainment Center at Ak-Chin Circle and Ak-Chin Southern Dunes Golf Club.\u201d\nThe Ak-Chin Indian Community is located adjacent to Maricopa, Arizona, a half hour from Phoenix-Sky Harbor Airport. Enterprises that make up the Ak-Chin Indian Community destination include Harrah\u2019s Ak-Chin Casino, Ultra Star Multi-tainment Center at Ak-Chin Circle and the Troon Golf-managed Ak-Chin Southern Dunes Golf Club. Ak-Chin Southern Dunes Golf Club is ranked as one of the Top 100 courses in the country by Golfweek and Golf Magazine.\nHarrah\u2019s Ak-Chin Casino is undergoing a multimillion dollar transformation and expansion project including a new hotel tower, casino floor expansion and parking garage. The new hotel tower is slated to be completed in advance of the 2018 event.\n\u201cThe creation of this new event in partnership with the Ak-Chin Indian Community will allow the World Long Drive Association to expand its television presence in 2018 by showcasing some of golf\u2019s most dynamic athletes and personalities competing from an exciting venue in the heart of one of the game\u2019s most prized golf destinations,\u201d said Phil Piazza, Golf Channel senior vice president of programming.\nThe World Long Drive Association is an organization that brings together golf\u2019s longest hitters from around the globe. Emerging as one of golf\u2019s most popular grass roots competitions, sanctioned Long Drive events are open to amateur and professional golfers. With an Open Division, Women\u2019s Division and Masters Division (Ages 45+), the sport appeals to golfers of all ages. The 2018 WLDA season consists of ten sanctioned events, five of which will be televised on the Golf Channel. The Ak-Chin Smash in the Sun will be the second event in 2018 to be televised nationally on Golf Channel.

        "raw_content": "Did You Root for Patrick Reed to Win the Masters?\nMasters golf week is my favorite week of the year. The first major of the year happens and Spring is in the air.\nEarly on I had picked Phil Mickelson as my favorite to win this year. He had been playing great golf and could have become the oldest champion if he could have pulled it out. It wasn\u2019t meant to be.\nThis was the return of Tiger Woods playing at Augusta for the first time in a couple of years and by his recent past performances the Sports Books all picked Tiger as the favorite. It wasn\u2019t meant to be.\nThe Masters started on Wednesday with exciting happenings at the Par 3 championship. Tom Watson became the oldest player to win the Par 3 championship. This was overshadowed by the Golden Bear\u2019s grandson GT making an ace on the 9 hole with Jack, Tom and Gary Player looking on. He hit the most beautiful shot behind the hole and immediately Gary Player started announcing \u201cyou\u2019re going to like it.\u201d GT hit the shot like he knew what he was doing. It caught the slope behind the hole and started rolling back to the hole and tracked its way into the hole. Jack stated afterward that this was his greatest moment in golf.\nFast forward now to Thursday with the first round about to begin. Jack and Gary hit the ceremnial first tee shots. Jack hit a great tee shot and then Gary hit one and he hit like he was going to play as he started going after it. Then it was time for the competitors to begin. It was the smallest field in 21 years. 87 players started but there were really only about fifteen guys with a real chance to win. Guys like Rory, Rickie, Justin, Dustin, Jordan were the headliners.\nJordan did not disappoint. He jumped out to the first round lead and everyone was already annointing him the champion; but it wasn\u2019t meant to be.\nDay two we had a new leader Patrick Reed. After an opening round of 69, he followed that up with a 66.\nDay three Patrick held onto a slim lead after shooting 67. Enter Rickie and Rory, who both shot 65 on \u201cmoving day.\u201d It was shaping up to be a great final round. Patrick and Rory were going to be paired together and history was in the making for both. Rory was trying to complete the career Grand Slam and Patrick was trying to become the first player to have all four rounds in the sixties. Hard to believe that no one has ever shot all four rounds in the sixties in the past.\nDay four Jordan made a charge. Rickie made a charge. Rory faltered. There was drama coming down the stretch until Jordan made bogey on 18 and Rickie needed a two on 18 to catch Patrick. It wasn\u2019t meant to be.\nPatrick hit a great drive and a great second shot behind the hole on 18 but there was still work to do. A downhill slippery putt slid by 3 feet and Patrick was living the dream we all had as kids, a three footer on the last hole to win the Masters. He made the putt and your Master Champion was crowned.\nWhat should have been a great story was overshadowed by the pundants that did not like Patrick Reed and began finding everything wrong with him rather than exalting him as the Champion. We all have things in our past from when we were young; but who holds those things against you? Also, I heard several people say the wrong person won. Not sure how they could say that. He played all four rounds under par and outplayed the field. Patrick will be a great champion.\nSo, give Patrick Reed his do and be happy for him. He will represent Augusta well.\nBe sure to tune in to the Bunker to Bunker Golf Show every Saturday morning from 7:00 to 9:00 a.m. or on ArizonaSports now on 98.7 fm or on the internet at www.arizonasports.com for more tips and updates on all of the week\u2019s golfing news in the Valley and around the world.

It became one of the Top 3 selling releases for this year's event.\nBecause the vinyl sold out instantly and the demand for the record was so overwhelming, the group decided that pressing more copies was in order. Warner Bros. Records will make the full album available on CD and digitally via all digital retailers on June 26.\nThe set includes collaborations with Bon Iver ('Ashes in the Air'), Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros ('Helping the Retarded to Know God'), My Morning Jacket's Jim James ('That Ain't My Trip'), Nick Cave ('You Man? Human???'), Erykah Badu ('The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face') and Neon Indian ('Is David Bowie Dying?'). There's also contributions from Ke$ha, Biz Markie, Prefuse 73, Tame Impala, Lightning Bolt, Yoko Ono and the Plastic Ono Band, New Fumes and Ghostland Observatory's Aaron Behrens.\nIn other Flaming Lips news, the band is in the final stages of recording their next studio album. It's expected this fall with a tour to follow. As if that weren't enough, the group is also planning a musical stage production based around their 'Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robot' album. It will premiere at the La Jolla Playhouse in California during the theater's 2012/2013 season.\nWith the recording nearing completion, the Flaming Lips will get the giant bubble ready and hit the road for more summer shows.\nFlaming Lips Summer 2012 Tour Dates:\n6/16 -- Toronto, Ontario | NXNW Fest - Young Dundas Square\n6/21 -- Liberty, Kan. | Liberty Hall\n6/24 -- St. Paul, Minn. | Rivers Edge Fest - Harriet Island Park\n7/20 -- Thornville, Ohio | All Good Fest\n7/22 -- Dover, Del. | Firefly Music Fest\n8/16 -- St. Louis, Mo. | LouFest - Forest Park",

        "title": "How To Avoid Or Reduce Red-Eye",
        "raw_content": "Photography with the aid of a digital camera is beyond doubt very fascinating. However, it also has many a nooks that the users of the digital camera must be aware of and also must be well educated to deal with in order to produce good photographs worth the most prized digital camera. Such a concept is that of the red eye! In order to understand what this red eye actually is, a little detailed introspection is necessary. Basically speaking red-eye is a function of at least three things, they are firstly, ambient level of light because stumpy light level causes the retina of the person to be photographed to open wider to admit more light thereby divulging open the iris, which is the primary part that reflects the red light hence giving the appearance of red eyes for the subjects. Also secondly the younger the person being photographed the wider remains the retina and hence the greater the effect of red eye in the picture. Thirdly, the reflection angle of the flash plays a vital role, as the light is recoiled back to the digital camera and the closer the incident light beam is to this reflected light beam, the greater becomes the red eye effect. To prevent this instruments such as flash brackets are useful to make the flash a bit removed from the propinquity of the lens. Thus the red eye effect is somewhat revealed till this part of this discussion. Now is the time to look into a greater detail in order to analyze the various aspects of the red eye effect and also find out ways of reducing the problem as far as possible.\nIt can be noted here that the only important thing is that the users must ensure that the proper fixing of the angle between the flash beam and the lens axis. The general rule here is that the photographer must keep the angle wide enough that the light beam from the flash does not reflect off the retina of the person being photographed and comes right back into the digital camera lens. A good idea is to make the red-eye reduction work by making the flash shine a light into the eyes of the person being photographed just before the flash is incident and the shutter is pressed. This causes the irises in the eyes of the person being photographed to narrow down or shrink. As a result of this the eye develops a smaller opening for the eye view of the digital camera and does not show off the blood filled retina. This light is called pre light! And very importantly this process works only if the person to be photographed is in point of fact looking directly at the flash for the pre-light to come.\nOther factors influencing the red eye are the level of ambient light during the time when the photograph is being taken and how near the flash light is to the lens. The rule of thumb comes out that the brighter the ambient light; the lesser is the effect of red eyes, everything else being one and the same. As the flashlight goes farther from the lens, the fewer becomes the effect of red eyes, everything else being one and the same again. Thus the key idea is that red eye is not caused if the ambient light is comparatively high. And it does have a significant effect if the shooting area is dark. Many digital cameras have built in features for anti red eye that is used to reduce red eye when taking a picture of a person looking straight at the camera also. But manually, the best red eye reduction can be obtained with the help of an external flash as described.\nThe above discussion has dealt with the most important ideas regarding the red eye effect. The discussion has analyzed the inherent facts about the digital camera red eye effect, their causes as well as remedies. The only thing that remains is that the users must implement these ideas while shooting under circumstances discussed here so that the red eye effect cannot harm the beauties of art created with the aid of the fantastic device, the digital camera!",

        "raw_content": "The culture of Maldives can be said to be a blend of the many cultures brought by the sea farers who settled in Maldives. This confluence of culture was further influenced by the British and the Portuguese during their rule. The Islamic religion has contributed to the further evolution of the culture of Maldives.\nAmong the smallest independent nations of the world, Maldives has a growing population of 349,106. Even though there are around 1190 islands in Maldives, only 202 islands are inhabited. Most of the population inhabits the capital island - Male'. The booming trade in Male' beckons those in search of new opportunities.\nThe main language spoken in Maldives is Dhivehi, a language believed to have its origin from Sanskrit. The language has evolved through the generations. Moreover, Islamic and British influence has led to the addition of more Arab and English words to its vocabulary.\nThe positioning of islands in a scattered manner leads to variation in the language and dialects in the islands. The vocabulary and pronunciation of the language differs from atoll to atoll\nThana, the present Maldivian script was invented in the 16th century after the Portuguese were overthrown. The script has 24 letters and unlike other scripts, Thana is written from right to left. This was done because of the increased use of many Arabic words in the Dhivehi language.\\\nIn the traditional way of family life in Maldives, the men go out for fishing during the day while the women take care of the affairs at home. The men often spend whole days out at sea which leaves the women with the responsibility of taking care of all the affairs at home as well as at the community.\nThe community is close-knit and forms a safety net for any family going through a hard time. Like in India, extended families help look after the kids in addition to the parents.\nAlthough, Buddhism was the main religion being followed in the bygone eras (i.e. before 1153), at present, Maldives is predominantly a Muslim nation. The conversion of Maldives from Buddhism to Islam occurred in 1153 when a scholar converted the king to Islam, and since then the whole country of Maldives has been practicing the Islamic religion. The scholar's identity is still shrouded in mystery with many clues but no definite outcome.\nThe Islamic calendar is followed for all main events and festivals in the Maldivian life. All the main Islamic festivals are followed here with great fervor, with the young and old all participating in the celebrations. Religious education is part of life for all and Islam is considered as a part of the school curriculum and taught with the same zeal as for other subjects.\nThe landmarks in Maldives speak volumes about the splendid architecture and craftsmanship in Maldives. Mosques, tombs, old cemeteries - all are filled with intricate carvings. Raw materials found locally are deftly carved and produced into lovely craft products.\nMost of these crafting skills are passed down through the generations keeping alive the beauty of the intricate art. Verses from the Holy Quran are intricately carved out on the walls of the mosques. This art calligraphy is strongly connected with Islam and some of the best samples of this art can be found in the Islamic Center.\nWith the passing of time, some crafts have become obsolete while some have revived with the development of the Tourism industry. Awareness about the conservation of the environment has led to the decline in the sale of products made with Tortoise shells and black coral",

        "raw_content": "10 Things You Should Not Do When You Divorce\nThe 10 Things You Should Not Do When You Divorce\nWhen you get divorced, there are certain things that you need to do. However, there are also certain things that you should avoid doing. It is important that you know what you should not be doing and why this is important. http://divorceattorneyscolumbusohio.org/ have brought some important practical tips, which you must consider while in a process of getting divorce.\n1. Do Not Hide Money\nDuring your divorce, you should never try to hide money or other assets. The consequences of this will vary depending on the state and could include being held in contempt of court. Certain states will also have an Automatic Temporary Restraining Order go into effect when you file for divorce. The act of hiding money will also paint you in a bad light for the arbitrator or judge.\n2. Do Not Add Money To A Joint Account\nIf you have a joint account with your spouse, you should not add to it. The joint account is a communal pot which will be split in half when you live in a community of property state. Once you separate from your spouse, you need to open your own account and place your money there. The money that you place into this account will need to be detailed during the divorce and may still be subject to splitting, but it is better to do this than add to the joint account.\n3. Do Not Do Things Out Of Spite\nDivorce can be emotional, but this does not mean that you should do things out of spite. Setting your partners clothing on fire may seem like a good idea, but it will not be. When you do things out of spite, you will color the opinion of the judge and this could affect the settlement that you get. You should also avoid posting disparaging comments on social media.\n4. Do Not Compare Your Divorce\nYour divorce is not going to be the same as your friend and you should not compare them. Every divorce case is different before they all have different assets and different state laws could apply. When you compare your divorce, you could set unrealistic expectations and this will cause problems in the long-run.\n5. Do Not Serve Your Spouse In Public\nServing the divorce papers to your spouse in public might seem like excellent revenge, it can backfire on you. Doing this could make your spouse less likely to negotiate with you and will draw out the divorce process. It is better to do this in a private setting than to do it somewhere public.\n6. Do Not Fight Over Thing You Do Not Care About\nWhen you fight over things that you do not care about, you are making the divorce harder than it needs to be. It is better to keep your eye on the bigger items that you actually care about. Does it really matter if you lose the DVD collection if you get to keep the house that belonged to your grandmother?\n7. Do Not Make Children Pawns\nYour divorce can be hard on your children without you trying to use them as pawns to get what you want. You should never use custody and visitation rights as a tool for your divorce. When you do this, you will be increasing the emotional burden on your children and you could have your plan backfire as the courts do not look kindly on this.\n8. Do Not Wait For Your Day In Court\nTaking your divorce to court will be costly and will take a lot of time. You will generally be better off settling the divorce out of court when you can. When you go to court, you will also be subject to the ruling of the judge and this might not be in your favor.\n9. Do Not Rule Out Mediation\nMediation is a great way to work through your divorce without having to go to court. You should never rule meditation out, particularly if you have problems agreeing on certain aspects of your divorce agreement. Mediators will help you talk to your partner and work through the tough issues that you have. This will generally create a divorce settlement that works for both parties and will keep you from going to court.\n10. Do Not Lie To Your Lawyer\nYour divorce lawyer is there to help you and you should be honest with them. Your lawyer will not be able to provide you with the representation that you need if you do not tell them everything. This does not mean that you should be talking to them about how you feel about the divorce because this is outside of their job description. However, you should never leave anything out when you talk about the details about why you want a divorce, your finances and any developments in the proceedings.\nThere are a lot of things that you should not be doing when you get a divorce. These things will include hiding money, lying to your lawyer and taking the divorce out of your children.\nRead our next article on: The Different Types Of Divorce.",

        "raw_content": "How to Become a Fertility Specialist\nWomen attempting to become mothers often start their journey with a visit to an OB/GYN, a doctor who specializes in pregnancy and childbirth. When those women are unable to conceive, they are often referred to a fertility specialist, also called a reproductive endocrinologist or an infertility specialist. The role of the fertility specialist is to evaluate each unique case to determine the cause of infertility and to develop a treatment plan.\nAccording to a recent report, by the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology more American women than ever before have used medical help to become pregnant. This increase in women seeking medical assistance with pregnancy, as well as the increase in IVF and fertility treatment technology has resulted in a growing need for highly-qualified fertility specialists.\nWhat is a Fertility Specialist?\nA fertility specialist is a medical doctor who has taken their training (usually OB/GYN training) further in order to specialize in fertility-related conditions, treatments, and medical procedures. A fertility specialist has spent years studying the reproductive system, various diseases and conditions which can affect fertility, and the available treatments and procedures designed to assist with fertility.\nFertility specialists are primarily trained to:\nThoroughly evaluate a patient to determine the cause of infertility, usually ordering numerous laboratory and other tests.\nEvaluate test results to determine whether a patient is in the normal range.\nUtilize test results to recommend fertility or other treatments on a case-by-case basis - from simple treatments like medications to increase hormones in women to in-vitro fertilization.\nMonitor treatment progress in each case and adjust the treatment plan when needed.\nWhile evaluation, diagnosis and treatment are large aspects of a fertility doctor's job, getting to know their patients in-depth and offering counsel are also extremely important. Dr. Terence Lee, a Southern California reproductive endocrinologist and medical school professor, speaks on the importance of spending time with patients: \"...there is great value in getting to know a patient, because in the field of fertility, there are usually multiple options available for some patients and the choice of the best option is based not solely on cold hard medical criteria, but also on personal preferences of urgency, frugality, risk aversion and religious views.\"\nThe Educational Path to Becoming a Fertility Specialist\nApproximately 12 years of post-secondary education are required to become a fertility specialist, including graduating from an accredited, 4-year medical school with a MD (doctor of medicine) degree. Typically, a fertility specialist follows the educational path of an OB/GYN before obtaining specialized education.\nStep by Step Educational Path of a Fertility Specialist\nEarn a Bachelor's Degree. As with any physician, earning a Bachelor's Degree is the first step in the educational journey. Although there is no required major, future fertility specialists should enroll in a pre-med program or be sure to take the prerequisite courses that most medical schools require. This includes sciences like chemistry, biology, physics, genetics and organic chemistry. Obtaining the highest possible GPA will increase a student's chances of being accepted into medical school.\nMedical School. The next step on a student's journey to becoming a fertility specialist is medical school. Successfully passing the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) is required for entry into medical school; this test is a multiple-choice exam that tests basic science knowledge as well as problem-solving and critical-thinking skills. During the first two years of medical school, students will spend time learning pharmacology, anatomy, psychology and a variety of other basic medical subjects. The last two years are spent doing clinical rotations where students work with actual patients under the care of licensed physicians. There are more than 140 accredited medical schools to choose from in the US, all offering excellent programs for future doctors.\nTake Part in a Residency Program. After medical school, future fertility specialists must take part in a residency program that will allow them to hone their knowledge and skills to provide the best possible care for future patients. The residency program for a fertility specialist is the same as that of an OB/GYN. Students will spend time performing OB/GYN duties; seeing patients and responding to emergencies and births. At the end of the residency, students on the fertility specialist path need to become certified as an OB/GYN in order to be certified as a reproductive endocrinologist in the future. This is done through the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology and involves a written and an oral examination.\nObtain a Fellowship. The final step in the thorough education of a fertility specialist is to obtain a fellowship in reproductive endocrinology. Fellowships are intense, allowing future fertility specialists to gain valuable experience, seeing numerous patients with a variety of health conditions - from male infertility to basic endocrinology to a large number of reproductive disorders. At some point in the fellowship, students will act as primary physicians for patients under the watchful eye of licensed fertility specialists. They will also complete a research project. Upon completion of the fellowship, fertility specialists can now become board certified fertility specialists through the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology by successfully passing a written and oral examination.\nBecoming licensed as a physician is also required, and is done through the United States Medical Licensing Examination, which is divided into three sections. Each section is completed at some point in the fertility specialist's medical education.\nStep 1: The first part of the examination is taken after the second year of med-school. Students will be tested on their knowledge of basic sciences and medical knowledge. This is a multiple choice test which takes just one day to complete.\nStep 2: Upon completion of the fourth year of medical school (or during the fourth year), students can take the second part of the medical examination. This examination is a two-day examination and tests the student's knowledge of clinical procedures and clinical sciences. Medical scenarios will be given to the physician to solve, in addition to a multiple-choice examination.\nStep 3: The final part of the medical exam is given during or after the first year of residency. Multiple-choice questions and simulated scenarios will be given to the physician in order to gauge their clinical knowledge and their knowledge of evaluation, diagnosis and treatment.\nAccording to US News and World Report, there are just over 1650 reproductive endocrinologists employed throughout the US, with some states employing as few as 1 specialist. Most of these professionals work in private clinics, although some work in hospitals and other healthcare settings. Many fertility specialists collaborate with other doctors if health issues affecting more than one system in the body are causing infertility.\nIn a private office, a fertility specialist often works with fertility nurses and case managers, seeing patients who have been referred by OB/GYNs or other doctors. They work with patients suffering from a wide variety of conditions causing infertility, from low hormones and uterine or cervical abnormalities in women to abnormal sperm production or function in men. Fertility specialists may also work in other settings, including academic facilities, hospitals, and some outpatient care centers.\nOutstanding communication and listening skills.\nExcellent attention to detail - fertility medicine is especially demanding of this skill as there are so many variables and potential solutions and problems.\nCompassion and empathy - women who are trying to become pregnant are often very vulnerable and desperate to have a child, and a fertility specialist needs to empathize with their struggle.\nPatience - though fertility medicine is extremely helpful in many cases, it often takes a long time to conceive and give birth, and only about half of all women seeking fertility treatments are able to experience a live birth.\nThick Skin - though fertility specialists try their best to assist their patients, success is not always the end result. Many times, women blame their specialist out of frustration and sadness, and a fertility specialist needs to be able to roll with the punches.\nFertility specialists can potentially increase their chances of getting hired by considering taking the following steps:\nSOCREI Membership: The Society for Reproductive Endocrinology and Fertility is a fantastic organization to become a part of. Through this organization, fertility specialists can network with others in their field, gain access to industry publications and continuing education sources, and stay abreast of new trends and discoveries within the industry.\nASRM Membership: The American Society for Reproductive Medicine is another fantastic organization to join, especially for reproductive endocrinologists relatively new to their field. Members have access to continued education sources and peer-reviewed journals, can network with other fertility specialists through the various groups and annual meeting, and can take part in educating legislators and proposing legislation at federal and state levels.\nAccording to a 2012 survey completed by the American Medical Group Association, reproductive endocrinologists earned a median salary of $336,352 per year. Combine this with the above average (24%) job growth rate for these professionals, and it creates an attractive prospect for those considering going into this career field.\nFertility medicine can be one of the most rewarding types of medicine to practice. Entering the field means becoming a highly sought-after professional with the ability to provide care to a wide range of patients experiencing a variety of different issues. The significant growth in this industry, combined with the shortage of trained professionals, translates to excellent compensation, job stability and prospects for these professionals.",

        "title": "TRUMP'S FOREIGN POLICY STRATEGY REINFORCES \"AMERICA FIRST.\"",
        "raw_content": "INDEX CONTACT\nPresident Trump issued a remarkable National Security Strategy document before Christmas that gives guidance to his administration for the next three years. Its focus is on U.S. national interests in a dangerous world.\nThe strategy asserts that \"Four vital, national security interests ---organized as the strategy's four pillars--- form the backbone of this commitment\" They are:\nProtect the homeland and its people.\nPromote American prosperity and free market system.\nPreserve peace through strength in the world.\nAdvance American influence and values.\nThe paper adds: \"The NSS and its four themes are guided by a return to principled realism.\" (Emphasis added)\nDonald Trump regularly proclaims an emphasis on \"America first\" in his foreign policy and critics charge that he's promoting an isolationist view. The NSS argues that putting America first in dealings with other countries does not mean withdrawal from the world; instead, it asserts that for too long the United States let its concern about other countries' views on international agreements, especially trade, cloud its vision of what is best for Americans.\nIf we acknowledge that these pillars of national interest guide Trump's decisions, how should we assess his performance during the first year? Here's a review of his two top priorities.\nPillar 1: \"Protect the homeland and its people.\" Trump's willingness to confront North Korea's nuclear menace is a major change in U.S. policy. Neither Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, or Barack Obama faced up to the reality that North Korea expects recognition as a nuclear state in order to extract large concessions from Japan, South Korea, and the United States. They include ending sanctions, withdrawal of U.S. forces from South Korea, and eventually from Japan. If we conclude that North Korean and Chinese leaders eventually want America to withdraw its military power from Northeast Asia, including from Japan, the danger to U.S. security commitments in Asia and the U.S. homeland is enormous.\nPillar 2: \"Promote American prosperity.\" The most significant favorable trend for the U.S. is the accelerating pace of its economy. Many economists think the GDP will grow by nearly 3 percent this year and may be larger next year. This is much better than predictions a year ago, about 1.9 percent. A strong economy is a major plus for foreign policy because it gives the State Department and Treasury Department more credibility in persuading other countries that America is not in decline, as many believe. It provides Rex Tillerson with greater leverage in dealing with China and Russia. And it helps reassure Europeans that Washington will continue its leadership role, with greater emphasis on U.S. interests.\nTrump's decision to withdraw support from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) was denounced by supporters of free trade. But the administration argued that the costs to U.S. workers and small business outweighed the gains. They said the agreement with fourteen countries would further harm U.S. jobs and increase the trade deficit. That view is challenged by large corporations and business interests that benefit from globalization. However, the political reality is that Trump's view resonated with voters in key states that won him the 2016 election.\nOn the negative side of Trump's policies, cancellation of U.S. participation the Paris Climate Accord was a mistake because it alienates key allies and generates few benefits. Similarly, the president's decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital and move the U.S. embassy was a negative diplomatic move because it has generated few benefits. The U.N. Security Council voted 14-l, against the U.S. and Arab governments declined Vice President Pence's visit to explain the decision. As a self-proclaimed \"deal-maker,\" Trump got nothing in return from Benjamin Netanyahu for doing him a large favor.\nFinally, Trump's threats to cancel NAFTA unless Canada and Mexico make major concessions to U.S. interests will leave a lasting negative legacy among two good neighbors and leading trading partners. Even though a revised NAFTA will likely emerge, Trump's performance was less than exemplary.\nEarly-morning presidential tweets confuse Americans and foreign leaders. They often are not consistent with Trump's cautious foreign policy which emphasizes diplomacy while maintaining the military option. And a strengthening economy enables the president to tighten economic sanctions on North Korea, Russia, and Iran that seem to be having a positive effect. Preventing war and strengthening the economy are not inconsequential achievements during Trump's first year.\nFile last modified on Monday, 8-JAN-2018 10:07 AM EST",

The Policy further defines transition services as a set of coordinated activities designed to be within a results-oriented process, focused on improving the academic and functional achievement of the child with a disability to facilitate the child\u2019s movement from school to post-school activities. These post-school activities may include, but not be limited to postsecondary education, vocational education, integrated employment, supported employment, continuing and adult education, adult services, independent living or community participation. The services must be based on the individual child\u2019s needs and take into account the child\u2019s strengths, preferences and interests. The IEP Committee is further required to develop a coordinated set of activities in the areas of instruction to promote the movement of a child from school to postsecondary adult living. These activities should include community experiences, activities that promote the development of employment and other post-school adult living skills and, if appropriate, activities that promote the acquisition of daily living skills (IDEA, 2004).",

        "raw_content": "Home / We welcome you! / Living with Dyslexia / Dyslexia at School / Know Your Rights: IDEA and State Law\nKnow Your Rights: IDEA and State Law\nBe more familiar with IDEA, its history, recent changes, and what it ensures for you after you have qualified for services\nUnderstand Section 504, the difference between Section 504 and IDEA, and which is more appropriate for you\nBecome more informed about the IEP that accompanies disability law\nMeeting the special needs of each student\nAs someone with dyslexia or a related learning disability, it is important for you to know about the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), the federal law that sets specific standards for the education of those with learning disabilities, including dyslexia.\nIDEA serves to provide protection for you by making sure that your state (through your local school district) is providing a Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) for you. FAPE reflects the requirement that each student with a disability is entitled to a publicly-funded education that is designed to meet the individual needs of that student.\nIDEA provides overarching laws and regulations regarding special education, but states are allowed to \u201cinterpret\u201d these laws as long as the basic standards of IDEA are met. In Michigan, Public Act 451 functions as a Mandatory Special Education Act. Michigan\u2019s law provides educational services to students with disabilities up to the age of 26, which is a higher standard than IDEA (age 21). In addition to children diagnosed at birth, Michigan serves infants and toddlers under the age of 3 who are at risk for a disability. You can find information about your state's interpretation of IDEA here.\nChanges to IDEA in 2008\nWhen the U.S. Department of Education crafted the regulations to implement the Education for All Handicapped Children Act of 1975 (P.L. 94-142), now known as IDEA, it needed to provide a process and criteria for identifying students in the category of \"specific learning disability,\" which is how most children with dyslexia are identified for services in the public schools.\nIn 2004, IDEA was re-authorized to align closely with the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) legislation. NCLB was enacted as federal law in 2001, calling for school accountability, supplemental services to under-performing schools, and the eventual restructuring of schools that continued to fail to make Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP). AYP specifies that 100% of students will maintain a passing grade in reading and math by the year 2014. NCLB also requires that all core curriculum teachers be highly qualified and that role of the parents in education should be valued and strengthened. The current IDEA of 2004, as well as NCLB, directed schools to focus more on helping all children learn by addressing the problems that are brought about by the eligibility requirements to receive special education services.\nTechnically, the re-authorized special education law is called the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEIA), but it is still commonly referred to as IDEA. Since 2004, IDEA has had several amendments and re-visions that make it a \u201cdynamic\u201d governing law. As a result of ongoing legislative committee work at the federal level, new regulations are routinely issued. Sometimes, new regulations or amendments are a reflection of case law, where rulings at the Supreme Court level have required that the law be amended because of a new (and possibly wrongful) interpretation. Changes at the federal level will require that states re-visit their own governing special education laws and amend as necessary.\nIn December of 2008, new regulations specific to Part B of the IDEA were issued. For clarification purposes, IDEA is divided into two main sections: Part B and Part C.\nPart B: Specifies all services provided to children and youth with disabilities, ages 3 \u2013 21. (Or in Michigan\u2019s case, until the age of 26.)\nPart C: Specifies services provided to infants and toddlers with disabilities, from birth to age 2.11 years. In Michigan, this program is called Early On.\nHighlights of Changes to IDEA in 2008\nDepending on your age, either you or your can revoke consent for your child special educational services under IDEA. You must provide the revocation in writing. The school is not required to amend or purge your educational records in order to remove references to previously received special education services.\nOnce you have revoked consent for services, the school must put in writing when services will end. The school system is not allowed to use mediation or due process to challenge your revocation. At this point, the school will not be out of compliance with IDEA for failure to provide a FAPE to you.\nThere may come a time when you no longer need special education services. These new steps and governing rules are the result of significant case law that essentially left schools vulnerable to law suits. And, the fact that schools cannot counter your decision with due process, in essence, protects you as well.\nIn the previous section, you reviewed both the IDEA and NCLB. The two other key pieces of legislation that are worth exploring are the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which was re-authorized in 2008, and Section 504, which is a section of the Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1973.\nBoth ADA and Section 504 address the civil rights of individuals with disabilities, with extensive regulations related to discrimination, equal access to programs, services or activities, especially those receiving federal assistance. The ADA\u2019s language actually mirrors that of Section 504, so we will explore the key points of Section 504 as it relates to public education. Again, both landmark acts provide the broadest legal protection for individuals with disabilities in areas such as employment, education, and physical access to public buildings, services and activities.\nQualifying for Services under IDEA\nHistorically, a student qualified for special education services if a \u201csevere discrepancy\u201d between academic success and intellectual ability was identified. Services were not provided if the student demonstrated low achievement because of low ability (as measured by IQ testing), but students whose low achievement was \"unexpected\" (those with normal or above normal ability, or IQ) were given services. To differentiate the two and to determine the existence of a \"severe discrepancy,\" states generally administered standardized ability (IQ) tests and academic achievement tests, followed by a comparison of the standard scores of the tests. If this comparison shows that the student's \"achievement\" is well below his or her \"ability'\" in at least one area (such as reading, writing, etc.), then the student is eligible to receive special education services under the category of \"specific learning disability.\"\nA significant concern for parents and teachers is how to help students who do not meet these requirements, yet experience difficulty learning in school, and especially in the elementary grades. In recent years, a new framework called Response to Intervention (RTI) has been initiated to eliminate the discrepancy model and ensure services for all students who struggle in academic settings. Proponents of RTI promote this system for its ability to provides help to a student by working with all students in a class, administering frequent assessments, and delivering interventions that are specific to an individual child's needs. These components of the RTI model require additional responsibilities for staff that are well beyond those of the SLD identification model that schools have used since the 1977 IDEA regulations were adopted. This new framework has not yet been adopted by all school systems.\nFrom a theoretical standpoint, many aspects of Section 504 mirror the intent of IDEA. Section 504 provides additional protection to an individual whose impairment is not considered severe enough for special education services, but warrants physical, classroom, or testing accommodations. Very often, children with health conditions such as Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), asthma, diabetes, etc. are covered under Section 504 (as is a child with a broken limb). Section 504 requires a school to make reasonable accommodations for children with special needs or health conditions.\nBasic rights covered by Section 504:\nNo person with a disability shall be excluded from the participation in, or subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving financial assistance from the federal government.\nNo person with a disability will be excluded from participation in or be denied the benefits of services or activities of a public entity.\nThe remedies, procedures and rights under ADA apply to Section 504. Any person alleging discrimination on the basis of disability is entitled to the same protection as stipulated in the ADA.\nTo be eligible for protections under Section 504, children must have physical or mental impairments that substantially limit at least one major life activity such as walking, talking, seeing, breathing, hearing, learning, reading, writing, working, caring for oneself, and performing manual tasks. Section 504 requires an evaluation be completed by many different sources. It does not require, however, that a meeting take place before a change in placement happens.\nUnlike IDEA, Section 504 and ADA do not\nEnsure that a student with a disability will receive an individualized educational program (IEP) that is designed to meet the unique learning needs of a child with a disability\nHave the same \u201cprocedural safeguards\u201d that IEPs have such as a student with an IEP must receive a written notice before any change in placement occurs and a family has a right to an independent educational evaluation at public expense if there is disagreement with what the schools have determined the students\u2019s disability to be.\nFor more information about 504 Plans, read NCLD's Five Things to Know About a 504 Plan for K\u201312 Students.\nThe IEP meeting, required by federal statute, is convened at least once a school year to plan an educational program that is tailored to the needs of each disabled student.\nThe student's \"team\" attends the meeting: teachers, therapists, parents, school administrators, and any other invited parties.\nThese IEP procedural safeguards are key legal provisions that ensure that parents and students are informed of their legal rights and that certain steps, procedures, and timelines are followed from start to finish.\nYou and/or your parents are equal members of the IEP team. You assist in identifying your needs selecting appropriate services and placement.\nSince you and/or your parents know you very well and can talk about your strengths and needs, you also contribute essential ideas for enhancing your education.\nBy working as equal members of the IEP team, you and your parents can listen to others\u2019 ideas about what you need to work on at school and share their suggestions.\nYou can also report on whether the skills you are learning at school are being used at home or not.\nIf your placement is decided by a different group than the IEP team, you and/or your parents must be part of that group as well.\nYou may also ask that the IEP meeting be postponed until a later date if the team cannot agree on a given plan of action.\nIf your parents have a limited proficiency in English or are deaf, they may need an interpreter in order to understand and be understood. Therefore, if parents need an interpreter for a meeting to discuss their child\u2019s evaluation, eligibility for special education, or IEP, they should let the school know ahead of time. Telling the school in advance allows the school to make arrangements for an interpreter so that parents can participate fully in the meeting.\nWhen someone has a significant learning disability or delay, it is usually preferable to have an IEP, because IDEA is the federal law (with some funding behind it) that mandates that schools comply with specific standards and processes in implementing an educational plan. Section 504 is a civil rights law that is easily interpreted with a great degree of disparity, and differs by state, county, and school district. In essence, there tends to be less accountability by districts for 504 plans.\nHowever, when it comes to medical conditions, allergies, or physical limitations, and where there are no significant learning issues involved, 504 plans are often recommended.\nOne key point to think about is the difference between the words access and educational benefit.\nIf you need an individualized educational program that includes special services such as speech-language or occupational therapies, or a customized curriculum, then an IEP will serve as the legal document outlining these services. If you need to be placed in the front of the classroom, or requires an allergy-free environment, but the general education curriculum remains the same, then a 504 plan is adequate to detail these environmental accommodations.\nConsider the differences in these two cases:\nJohnny has a severe peanut allergy. He cannot eat or come in contact with any peanut products. Special accommodations have to be made for him in the lunchroom, classroom and throughout the entire building. A comprehensive and detailed directive will be included in a 504 plan, giving Johnny access to a safe and peanut-free educational environment. Specifics might include signage throughout the building indicating \u201cpeanut free rooms\u201d or even a building-wide mandate that no peanut products are allowed in the school. His curriculum or educational experience will not be affected by a 504 plan.\nLisa has a speech and language delay and has trouble comprehending written text. She would benefit from an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) which would itemize special services including speech-language therapy, occupational therapy, and reading intervention. An IEP in this case would provide maximum educational benefit because it would be specific to her individual learning needs. Many aspects of her day-to-day educational experience will be altered because of her specific learning needs.\nCenter for Educational Networking\nMichigan Department of Education: Office of Special Education and Early Intervention Services\nNational Special Education Law\nYour Special Education Rights\nFor more information, check out NCLD's Legal Rights and Accommodations for Adults with LD.",

It wouldn't hurt to downsize to 7mm, or 6mm if you were willing, for several months before stretching again. Keep up the massages, but massages and downsizing has a better chance of reducing scar tissue before it becomes permanent than massages alone.",

        "title": "The Week in Review: Greek Calm, Chinese Rebound | Economy Watch",
        "raw_content": "The Week in Review: Greek Calm, Chinese Rebound\nThe week saw a sudden calm in several markets as China showed signs of renewed economic strength and Greek banks reopened, but falling commodity prices have hurt export-driven economies\u2019 currency values and future inflation expectations.\nIn Greece, banks reopened earlier this week after three weeks of closure. Controls on withdrawals remain in place, with Greeks limited to taking out 420 euros per week from their accounts, but the banks are open for business and relatively calm queues have appeared at most banks throughout the week.\nThe Athens Stock Exchange remained closed, with spokespeople from the exchange citing the need for regulatory reforms to ensure orderly markets. Many analysts believe the exchange has remained closed to limit selling pressure. However, foreign expectations of a bear market appear mute. In the past five days, the Greece Exchange Traded Fund that is sold through the New York Stock Exchange lost 10% of its value, with most losses coming on Monday. Since then the ETF has remained relatively stable, indicating some traders expect selling pressure on Greek stocks to be muted when the exchange reopens.\nIn Asia, China posted a better-than-expected rate of economic growth in the second quarter, with GDP rising at an annualized 7% rate after many economists\u2019 downgraded expectations for the rest of 2015.\nWhile Chinese officials say, they are still on track to reach their 7% GDP growth for the full year, a drag on growth from the first quarter means the country will need to avoid any fall in growth by the end of the year to reach that target.\nA boost to the economy from several stimulus programs has helped boost a rise in domestic incomes, but aggressive cuts in interest rates have also caused an increase in debt loads for both individual consumers and corporations. China has cut interest rates 4 times in the last 9 months to encourage more lending.\nThe lower cost of borrowing appears to come from an improvement in China\u2019s real estate markets, which were seeing falling prices for over two years in most major cities. That trend continues but at a less extreme rate, with only 33 cities seeing price declines in June, and the largest cities\u2014Beijing and Shanghai\u2014saw prices rise alongside Shenzhen, which saw housing prices rising 15.7%.\nCommodity Rout\nWith risks in Europe and China subsiding, gold tumbled sharply on Monday, falling over 3% in one day on a widespread sell-off that began in Asia and continued in Europe and the U.S. Gold extended its losses throughout the week, with some analysts predicting an ounce to sell for less than $1,000 in the short term.\nPart of the fall in gold prices may be attributable to a surprise announcement by the People\u2019s Bank of China that its gold reserves were a third of estimates, with only 1,658 metric tons. Some traders interpreted this as a sign of central banks\u2019 declining interest in the metal.\nOil also fell sharply this week, after the American Petroleum Institute announced oil reserves rose by 2.3 million barrels last week. This increase in supply surprised analysts, who expected supplies to weaken on lower production due to low costs. The API did note that demand was rising, but far below the 12.5% year-over-year increase in crude oil production.",

        "raw_content": "\u0418\u0441\u0442\u043e\u0447\u043d\u0438\u043a: https://steelguru.com\nRussia taps smaller ports to keep up record wheat export pace\nBloomberg reported that Russia has so much wheat that it can\u2019t export it all via the usual methods, so shippers are increasingly turning to a once-rare technique to get more grain on boats. Most Russian wheat is loaded on ships in the deep waters of the Black Sea, but those ports have reached their limit. So as a work-around, traders are putting more grain on small ships in the nearby Sea of Azov, the world\u2019s shallowest sea, and sending them to deeper water to transfer the cargo to larger vessels.\nThe strategy \u2014 often used to move oil and gas \u2014 is becoming more common for Russian grain as the country deals with ever-bigger harvests and growing demand from far-away markets like Indonesia. It also shows how the grain industry is straining Russia\u2019s infrastructure and reshaping shipping routes.\nMr Dmitry Rylko, director general at the Institute for Agriculture Market Studies, or IKAR, said that \u201cThis has become a leading channel of exports. Cargoes out of the Sea of Azov in recent years, especially during the current season, have brought about colossal volumes of ship-to-ship transfers.\u201d\nFloating cranes help send big shipments from the Azov to buyers on the other side of the world, who prefer to book large cargoes. Smaller boats ferry grain to vessels anchored in the Kerch Strait, which use cranes to load supplies onto bigger oceangoing craft that then sail though the Black Sea.\nThe ship-to-ship transfers accounted for 8.8 million metric tons of grain exports last year, which was more than the total shipped from Russia\u2019s biggest grain terminal in Novorossiysk on the Black Sea, according to Russia\u2019s grain certification agency.\nWheat accounts for the bulk of Russia\u2019s grain exports, which have surged in recent years as production boomed and relatively cheap supplies helped the country grab a bigger share of the global market. While local companies are investing in boosting port capacity, for now terminals are finding it increasingly difficult to keep up with this season\u2019s record pace.\nAzov ports can haul as much as 5,000 tons of grain onto a ship with a draft of up to 5 meters (16 feet) when fully loaded. In the Kerch Strait, vessels with drafts reaching 17.5 meters can take cargoes of as much as 75,000 tons, according to Transcargo, a company that operates some of the transfers.\nTo ensure that the grains being loaded meet importers\u2019 requirements, the grains certification body sends specialists to work in shifts from a vessel in the area, with samples tested in an onshore lab.",

The stimulating three-day conference with the theme: Diversity, Transformation and the Student Experience in Higher Education and Learning brought together 300 academics from among others, the USA, UK, Sweden, Israel, Iran, Swaziland, Kenya and Rwanda. The three plenary sessions by invited keynote presenters provided rich insights into the student learning experience; the importance of indigenous languages in teaching and learning; and the provision of an integrated curriculum which ensured the disabled were not excluded from a quality tertiary education.\nMr John Pampallis, Special Advisor to the Minister of Higher Education and Training, who delivered a message on behalf of the Minister, Dr Blade Nzimande drew attention to the numerous competing challenges facing universities in South Africa. He commended UKZN for the progress it had made by bringing teaching and learning into the spotlight.\nMr Jerome Govender.\nThe mammoth task of delivering the first phase of Gautrain, South Africa\u2019s largest rail infrastructure project in time for the 2010 FIFA World Cup fell to UKZN alumnus Mr Jerome Govender, the CEO of Bombela Concession Company (BCC). Mr Govender acquired his Bachelor of Science in Quantity Surveying and Masters in Science in Urban and Regional Planning at the former University of Natal in 1994 and 1996, respectively. He later completed an MBA at the University of the Witwatersrand.\nHeading a R25 billion project with a workforce of up to 10 000 at peak construction times (during the first phase of the project), Mr Govender said: \u201cI am very proud to have led Bombela through this period. I often say that the initial success of the Gautrain cannot be attributed to any one given person or organisation, but must be attributed to many organisations and hundreds of individuals who over the years contributed to its success. I am very grateful to all of them.\nCivil Engineering student winners, Mr Matthew Murphy and Mr Herman De Lange.\nTwo final year Civil Engineering students did UKZN proud when they took first and third place in the 2010 Concrete Society of Southern Africa (CSSA) Durban Branch Concrete Cube Competition, sponsored by NPC Cimpor, beating students from the two other universities in the city.\nMr Herman De Lange took first place and won himself R1 500 and a certificate. He said that he was excited and could not believe it when he got the call that he had won. Mr Matthew Murphy who won R500 and a certificate for his third place added that winning puts UKZN in a good light.\nContestants were required to make two concrete cubes which are then crushed to test their strength. The students were given a free choice of materials as long as the main binder was Portland Cement. The students said that the cubes took them about 30 minutes maximum to make utilising knowledge gained from lectures and self study. After 24 hours in standard conditions the moulds were stripped and the cubes were sent off to the prescribed testing laboratory.\nDirector of the African Centre for Crop Improvement, Professor Mark Laing, attended the first ever African Green Revolution Forum (AGRF) in Accra, Ghana at the beginning of September. A collaborative effort of the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA), Yara International, Nepad and Standard Bank, this new initiative \u201cseeks to catalyse investment and increased co-operation to drive development of African agriculture.\u201d\nThe conference brought together African government leaders, global enterprises, development agencies and other agricultural development specialists. It was opened by Mr Kofi Annan, past Secretary General of the United Nations and the current chairperson of the Board of AGRA. Other key speakers included Dr Judith Rodin, President of the Rockefeller Foundation; Dr Gary Toennissen, Managing Director of the Rockefeller Foundation; and Mr Olusegun Obasanjo, former President of Nigeria. Also participating were three African laureates of the World Food Prize: Dr Monty Jones (rice breeder); Professor Gebisa Ejeta (sorghum breeder); and Dr Florence Wambugu (genetic engineer).\nFrom left: Professor Francesco Petruccione and Professor Sir Peter Knight.\nThey recently made headlines in the media when, in a world first, they secured a fibre optical link to the Moses Mabhida Stadium during the 2010 World Cup. From 20-23 September UKZN\u2019s Quantum Research Group hosted the first of its Quantum Africa conferences in Durban, which attracted scientists from all over the world.\nProfessor Sir Peter Knight, Deputy Rector (Research) at Imperial College, London presented his paper on Quantum State Engineering and the simulation of Nature. He said that the aim of the Conference is to try and work out ways that developments in quantum physics could be employed in new technology. Another aim is to bring the community in Africa together with people around the world.\nProfessor Sir Knight added that Durban has world-class facilities and this Conference showed the effectiveness of research at UKZN. He first visited South Africa in 2006 and he and other international participants were impressed by the University.\nPhD Chemistry students, Mr Mlondi Ngcobo (left) and Mr Vuyisa Mzozoyane (right) with the Chairman of the Herman Olthaever Trust, Mr Allan Appel.\nMr Allan Appel, Chairman of the Hermann Ohlthaver Trust, visited the Faculty of Science and Agriculture\u2019s Centre for Science Access (CSA) on the Pietermaritzburg campus recently. A long-time supporter of the CSA, the Trust has given the programme a grant of R220 000 for 2010, which has funded tuition and accommodation for 14 students on the Westville and Pietermaritzburg campuses.\nThe Hermann Ohlthaver Trust is a charitable organisation which supports a range of institutions and community-based organisations in South Africa and Namibia. According to Mr Appel, the Trust dedicates a significant amount of its funding to programmes which focus on maths and science. He said the trustees feel it is an area in South Africa that is in dire need of support.\nHead of the CSA, Professor Neil Koorbanally, is grateful to the Trust for their continued support. \u201cThe Hermann Ohlthaver Trust is ideal for students in the Science Access programme as all our students come from disadvantaged backgrounds where the family income is not enough to send their children to University. Thanks to donors like the Hermann Ohlthaver Trust, their children\u2019s dreams are realised,\u201d said Professor koorbanally.\nScience and Agriculture students from left: Mr Kabir Pheerbay, Ms Zukiswa Shoba and Mr Seth Hakizimana.\nUKZN\u2019s Centenary exhibit titled Snapshots of a Century was awarded a Silver Medal at the Garden and Leisure show which is acknowledged as the top landscaping and horticultural event in South Africa. Assigned to the \u201cCommercial\u201d category, the University received its medal for achieving an overall score of between 70 and 85 percent.\nThe exhibit, which is a transferable pictorial display, was brought up especially from the Medical School, where it was being displayed, for the University\u2019s stand at the Garden and Leisure Show in Pietermaritzburg. With an audience of approximately 24 000 over the three-day period, UKZN\u2019s Corporate Relations Division felt the show would be the ideal platform to showcase the University and its 100 years of successes and achievements.\nComprising banners with detailed information highlighting the significant events in the history of the five institutions that now make up UKZN, the exhibit is designed to whet the appetite of the viewer and encourage them to read and learn more about the institution\u2019s history. A timeline, centred around a model of the Memorial Tower Building on the Howard College campus, also forms part of the exhibition.\nFaculty of Education academics discuss scholarly publishing.\nThe Faculty of Education\u2019s Research Office on the Edgewood campus is extending its efforts to encourage research output from academics in the Faculty. On September 17, the office hosted an awareness workshop on scholarly publishing facilitated by Dr Ronelle Carolissen from the Department of Psychology at Stellenbosch University.\nDr Carolissen is a member of the Health Professions Council of South Africa, the Psychological Association of South Africa, the Society for Community Research and Action, and a former member of the Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education, and currently serves as a member of the American Educational Research Association (AERA).\nThe workshop was given the theme, Thinking about Scholarly Publishing, and invited academics to get inspired, share ideas, and to identify the importance of scholarly publishing in academia\u2019s competitive world of research output.\nOptometry students at UKZN enjoyed working with learners from disadvantaged backgrounds.\nStudents and lecturers from UKZN\u2019s Discipline of Optometry participated in the World Conference on Refractive Error (WCRE) and the World Conference on Optometric Education (WCOE) in Durban which ran consecutively for the first time from September 20-24.\nThe conferences were attended by 150 international speakers from over 70 countries who came together to discuss the global issues facing the Optometry profession.\nExhibition stands, and oral and poster presentations were presented by international eye care companies and delegates, providing unprecedented networking opportunities. Some of the most anticipated speakers were UKZN alumnus, Dr Kumi Naidoo, the Executive Director of Greenpeace International who spoke on the opening day, and World Congress on Refractive Error Congress Chair and Sponsorship Management, UKZN\u2019s Professor Kovin Naidoo.\nProfessor Thabisile Buthelezi and the MEC for Education in Limpopo Province, Mr Namane Dickson Masemola.\nUKZN\u2019s Faculty of Education hosted a gala dinner on September 17 for students from Limpopo Province who have been accepted to complete the four-year Bachelor of Education degree at the University.\nIn 2009 the Limpopo Department of Education and the Faculty of Education signed a Memorandum of Acceptance whereby it was agreed that 100 students from Limpopo Province would enrol for the Faculty\u2019s ECD/Foundation Phase programme specialisation in the BEd Degree.\nThe gala diner was graced by the MEC for Education in Limpopo Province, Mr Namane Dickson Masemola together with other officials from the office of the MEC and the Limpopo Department of Education (DoE). Friends and family of the students and of the University added to the festive spirit. The purpose of the visit by the Limpopo officials was to acknowledge and monitor the progress made by the students thus far.\nStaff at the Faculty of Management Studies\u2019 Teaching Day.\nIn an attempt to create dialogue among academics and to share new ideas the Faculty of Management Studies held a Teaching Day on September 16 for its academics.\nTeaching staff from a range of Schools shared aspects of their teaching practice and their research into teaching and learning issues. Co-ordinator of the proceedings, Dr Caroline Goodier from the Education Unit said that the aim of the day was for academics to showcase their teaching and learning research as well as share among themselves their experiences in the classroom. \u201cIt is important to make a space like this for academics to talk about teaching and learning.\u201d She added that there are many people that are doing exciting work and what was showcased on the day was just the tip of the iceberg.\nPresentations included information on new technology innovations; a SIFE student presentation; an evaluation of student support in the diverse classroom; building community through social partnerships around further education and training; assessment by means of multiple choice questions; and podcasting. A round table discussion also took place about the place of research in teaching.\nMs Kira Erwin.\nThe Centre for Critical Research on Race and Identity (CCRRI) at UKZN hosted Doctoral student, Ms Kira Erwin, from the School of Sociology who presented a paper on Theory and practice in the field of race and race thinking: Critical reflections from, and for, South Africa and beyond on September 14.\nMs Erwin said that the paper \u201cis primarily concerned with some of the dilemmas of doing research on race and race thinking in South Africa, and beyond. It examines the broader theoretical debates and concepts within the field of race and race thinking and makes an argument that researchers need to examine critically the rituals of research and how they interact with, solidify or challenge meanings attached to race. In particular it calls for discussion and reflection on how our current epistemologies and methodologies are busy writing future understandings of this social construct, and the limits of some of these practices on more inclusive state policies and structures\u201d.\nVisiting team from the University of Science and Technology, Ifaki-Ekiti (USTI), Nigeria from left: Mrs Comfort Bandele; Mr Olusola Owolabi; Mr Sakiemi Idoniboye-obu; Professor Samuel Oye Bandele, Vice-Chancellor of USTI; Ms Nomonde Mbadi; Ms Lizzy Taiwo; Mr Anthony Ola; Ms Tasmeera Singh; Ms Sandra Munesar and Dr Thomas Idowu.\nFinal year students in the Faculty of Education interact with officials from the Department of Education.\nStudents enrolled for their final year of study at UKZN\u2019s Faculty of Education benefited from a \u201cMeet Your Employer Day\u201d co-hosted by the University and the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Education (DoE) on September 16.\nThis initiative forms an integral part of the Faculty\u2019s mission to produce quality educators. Students completing a Bachelor of Education (BEd) degree or a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) are orientated into the profession by being placed in vacancies at various schools and offered employment.\nDeputy-Dean for Initial Teacher Education in the Faculty, Professor Thabisile Buthelezi said that the DoE is the biggest employer of their students. Dean of the Faulty, Professor Michael Samuel said that it was alarming that 18 percent of teachers have not achieved a four-year qualification. He wished the students all the best in their upcoming qualifying exams.\nThe School of Biochemistry, Genetics and Microbiology won the Centenary Fun Run award for the Best Representation with over 50 students and staff.\nEveryone was a winner at the recent Faculty of Science and Agriculture Centenary fun run held at Ukulinga farm in Pietermaritzburg. Approximately 300 staff and postgraduate students ran or walked the 5 km course and were rewarded with a special centenary medal. Although an annual event on the Faculty\u2019s calendar, this year\u2019s fun run was dedicated to celebrating 100 years of academic excellence and featured commemorative trophies and medals.\nThe event provided the rare opportunity for Faculty members to get together in a relaxed, informal atmosphere and enjoy some vigorous exercise followed by a sumptuous breakfast. Academic Schools and Units within the Faculty rallied together and dressed up for the occasion, hoping to win one of the team awards. Some even brought their dogs along, suitably attired. One postgraduate student went so far as to complete the walk carrying his bird in a cage.",

The refugees headed for the Syrian town of Asal al-Ward across the border, northeast of Damascus.\nA military media unit run by Damascus ally Hezbollah said the buses carried 60 families.\nIt is the second batch of people to leave Arsal as part of an agreement for the return of refugees to their hometowns across the border. Hezbollah arranged the deal in indirect talks with the Syrian rebel group Saraya Ahl al-Sham, said an official in the alliance fighting in support of the Damascus government.\nHezbollah also coordinated with the Lebanese military and with the Syrian government separately, securing crossings for refugees who want to leave, the official said.\nSince early in the Syrian conflict, Hezbollah has backed Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's government, along with Iran and Russia, sending thousands of its forces to fight the mostly Sunni Syrian rebels.\nMore than 1 million registered Syrian refugees have fled to Lebanon, a quarter of its population, the United Nations refugee agency says. The number is widely put at closer to 1.5 million.\nThey are scattered across Lebanon, mostly in makeshift camps and often in severe poverty, and face the risk of arrest because of restrictions on legal residence and work.\nThe group of refugees returned on Wednesday as part of a local deal, not a broader agreement. Politicians are deeply divided over whether Lebanon should work directly with the Syrian government over the return of refugees, which Hezbollah and its allies advocate.\nOther parties and officials, including Lebanese Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri, are strongly opposed, questioning the safety of the refugees once they return to Syria. The premiere has called for setting up secure areas on the Syrian side of the border to which refugees could voluntarily return under United Nations supervision.",

        "raw_content": "'American Journalism in Digestive Tract of Disinfotainment'\nHoward Rheingold warns Stanford communication grads of emerging perils and responsibilities\nHoward Rheingold (internews) Print Article\nThis is a graduation speech Howard Rheingold gave to the class of 2004 of the Department of Communication at Stanford University on June 12.\nAt this moment, all across the land, a thousand old guys like me are dispensing platitudes to graduates and their parents. It's natural -- and a good idea -- to take the advice commencement speakers dispense with a large grain of salt. Occasionally, however, one of us stumbles upon a clue that might actually be useful to you. I hope I can deliver one of those elusive clues, because I believe deeply and passionately that one of you or some of you or even all of you just might help the rest of us through the next few years.\nI am convinced that the last time young communicators faced this degree of excitement, peril, opportunity, uncertainty, and responsibility was 1776. Don't forget that James Madison founded the American Whig Society as a college student and helped enscribe history's most important social software at thirty-six.\nIf your passion is to create culture -- if you are a writer, a musician, a creator of video or videogames, a programmer of software, an instigator of online community -- you face a legal, political, and technical assault on your right to innovate. But at the same time, you have the use of the most powerful tools for cultural production since the Gutenberg revolution.\nIf your calling is journalism, you enter the job market at the same time that that the long and honorable history of American journalism is traveling through the digestive tract of the disinfotainment industry. But at the same time, you arrive on the scene just at the moment something broader, faster, and perhaps more democratic than the invention of journalism is emerging.\nTo those engaged in cultural production: thanks to your education, I don't have to detail what I mean about the assault on your right to innovate. The extension of copyright law at the expense of the public domain and the tradition of using culture to create culture. The use of digital rights management to protect old businesses from new means of expression. The instantiation of tight surveillance and control of innovation in the \"trusted computing\" technologies that are being planned for the next generations of chips and PCs. The regulation of the electromagnetic spectrum according to the laws of the 1920s and the wishes of the incumbent license holders. All these regulatory battles are not so much about protecting property as they are about controlling innovation.\nThere is your peril and your responsibility. Will your generation be able to create new industries, new artforms, new communication media? Or will you have to work for an existing company and sign away your rights in order to innovate?\nTo those of you who aspire to journalism: Don't get me wrong on this -- there are still journalists of great courage, integrity, and inventiveness, and they make a difference every day. But their editors and publishers are caught in a situation not of their making. A couple of months ago, I was invited to participate in one of those old media meets new media discussions that have become fashionable lately. All the usual suspects were there -- the household names of newspaper, newsmagazine, radio, and television. Not the reporters, but their bosses. These are people who are deeply worried about the future of their businesses. When I had the opportunity to speak up, I acknowledged that I understand from personal experience that if you can't stay in business, other issues are moot. Then I reminded them that their product is different from the other widgets that their corporate parents produce.\nThere is a long and deep connection between the growth of journalism on this continent and the history of the American experiment in democracy. An older James Madison emphasized that connection when he wrote, in a letter to W.T. Barry in 1822, words that are carved in marble at the Library of Congress today: \"A popular government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a prologue to a farce or a tragedy, or perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance, and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives.\"\nI reminded the assembled managers of profit centers for content conglomerates that there would be no newspaper business today to worry about its future if the US Post Office had not subsidized the \"penny press\" at the beginning of the 19th century. So although I never want to dismiss the importance of worrying about a business model that is under attack from all sides, I do feel it's important for everyone in the journalism business to consider, from time to time, their responsibility to citizens of a free society.\nI managed to repeat this message in different ways three or four times during this seminar on the future of news media. And every time I piped up, the assembled group looked at me as if I had just bitten off the head of a live chicken. They just didn't want to think about what they were hearing. And I don't mean to assign blame. From online advertising to the cost of paper to the decline in young subscribers, this group have been given a lot of cause to worry about their future.\nSo far, I've talked about the serious challenges you -- and the rest of us -- face. But there's another side to this turbulent moment in the history of communication. While all these attacks on expression are underway and barriers to communication are being put in place, people around the globe are making entirely new kinds of art and journalism. Young people in every part of the world are using and inventing blogs, wikis, mobile messaging, desktop video, digital music, online animation, social software. I will leave you with two brief examples: Wikipedia and OhmyNews.\nWikipedia is a website that anyone can edit. Anyone who registers can create or correct or extend an article about any subject they want. Since 2001, thousands of people have created half a million articles in more than fifty languages. And although anyone can vandalize what others have written, many more people have the power to undo the damage. The mean time between such an attempt at damage and its repair is under four minutes. The knowledge in Wikipedia is published under a license that allows anyone anywhere to use it online, to print it out, to sell it or give it away. The Encyclopedia Brittanica spent millions of dollars and many more years to put around 60,000 articles online. Although it remains to be seen whether the accuracy and integrity of public knowledge created in this way will improve or deteriorate over time, Wikipedia most certainly is an example of the kind of radical innovation people can accomplish these days.\nOhmyNews is a website in South Korea that employs 26,000(*) citizen-reporters. Those citizen-reporters and their readers vote on which articles should appear on the front page. It's wildly popular, particularly among the young cybergeneration. Earlier this year, OhmyNews did something remarkable. The candidate that was favored by many of their readers and reporters was behind in the polls in the days before Korea's Presidential election, and the exit-polls in the early hours showed him losing. A call to action on OhmyNews led to readers sending nearly a million emails to their friends, urging them to get out and vote, along with an uncounted number of text messages to their friends' telephones. That unprecedented online get-out-the-vote effort tipped the election -- and the first interview President-elect Roh gave was to OhmyNews.\nI know that your education, the tools you have available, and most of all, your determination and enthusiasm constitute a formidable counter-force to the walls that are being built around creativity and discourse. I count on you to get out there and create. You can -- you MUST -- innovate faster than your ability to innovate can be enclosed by laws, regulations, and technological fences.\n*OhmyNews currently has 33,000 Korean citizen reporters. -- Ed.",

        "raw_content": "How To Find The Best E-commerce Web Hosting Service Provider\nFinding an e-commerce and a web hosting company may sound simple, but it is certainly a difficult task. It is a crucial decision and in case, it goes wrong it will surely have an adverse effect on the business. While choosing an e-commerce company, the business needs to consider certain points before finalizing on one.\nThe first on your list should be the kind of web hosting service that the company provides. Consider choosing the company that provides shared, virtual and dedicated web hosting service. They should be able to provide these services depending on the clients requirements.\nApart from this be very sure of the quality of customer service, they provide. Web hosting companies should render their services 24/7 via telephone, email, and live chat. This is because many companies in the beginning make many promises, but hardly render any dependable customer service. The fact is that every designing company provides the same products. However, consider the one, which renders excellent customer service along with state-of-art facilities as per your requirement.\nThe main aim of hiring a web designing company is to have great performing sites; hence, the eCommerce web hosting company should provide customers with sites that are user-friendly and attractive. Complicated sites do not attract user attention and the company may loose on prospective buyers. Therefore a simple and a user-friendly site which is well drafted can help the company to prosper.\nMost, vital of all, many renowned web hosting companies promise to offer \u201cunlimited\u201d disk space and bandwidth. However not many firms have any issues with disk space/bandwidth, this is because everybody knows someone somehow will surpass the disk space and bandwidth, even though it was promised to be unlimited. To conclude, it is wise to read the agreement thoroughly and check with the company for clarifications before entering into a contract.\nOnline are listed many web hosting companies which promise all these services at reasonable rates. Its wise to check and confirm the services rendered by each so that the company does not face problems in the future. A good web hosting company can play a major role in the success chart of the company. With their help, aid and assistance, companies can reach great heights. Log in to find the company that helps the company with the best possible services.",

        "raw_content": "Transracial Adoptions, From The Adoptee's View\nWe've been feeling reflective here at WEEKEND EDITION. And over the past few weeks we've been listening back to some of our favorite interviews from the past year. This week's pick comes from our editor Jordana Hochman and producer Chris Benderev. They join me in the studio. Hi, guys.\nJORDANA HOCHMAN, BYLINE: Hello.\nCHRIS BENDEREV, BYLINE: Hey.\nMARTIN: So what did you pick?\nBENDEREV: So we picked a story we did about a year ago on trans-racial adoption which is when a parent adopts a child of a different race.\nHOCHMAN: The guy that we talked to - his name is Chad Goller-Sojourner. And he is an African-American writer who was adopted when he was a really young boy by white parents. We decided to talk to him because trans-racial adoption had popped into the news, and we wanted to explore what that personal experience was like with somebody who was intimately involved in it.\nMARTIN: OK. Let's take a listen to my conversation with Chad Goller-Sojourner. Here's Chad telling his story.\nCHAD GOLLER-SOJOURNER: One thing that is kind of unique to my situation, or being trans-racially adopted, is that my source of love and hate came from the same well. So my parents looked just like the people who are calling me a bleep or a porch monkey and all this other stuff.\nMARTIN: And that was hard to process. How did your parents respond when you went to them with those revelations?\nGOLLER-SOJOURNER: So what happened for me is, like, every six months to a year something would happen. And I'd have a major breakdown and call my mother crying and unable to breathe of sorts. And she would arrive at the school. So I always knew that my mother and parents were in my corner, but it was still difficult to process because I didn't see myself as they saw me. I mean, all my first experiences were white - my first friends, my family, my church, my faith. Don't they know who I belong to? You know, for instance, shopping - I learned pretty early on that when people knew I was with this white lady that they treated me differently. So...\nMARTIN: Your mom?\nGOLLER-SOJOURNER: My mom. If I didn't want to be followed or bothered I would make a connection with my mom. It kind of played out like this. We have very different tastes - mine are high-end, hers aren't. So I would, like, hold up some outfit, like, hey, mom, can I get this? And be, like, no - she'd go, like, no.\nGOLLER-SOJOURNER: Which let everybody within earshot know that I was with a white lady. And then suddenly it was like that privilege came back over me.\nMARTIN: Your parents adopted you at a time, 1972 - The National Association of Black Social Workers declared that trans-racial adoption like yours was tantamount to cultural genocide. And there are still a lot of people out there who feel that the best option for children of a certain race is to be raised by parents who share that race - in particular for black children to be raised in black families. What do you think of that?\nGOLLER-SOJOURNER: Well, OK. So here's the part that always gets people upset. Part of my story is I was 13 months old, and according to the social workers in my file, I had already been passed over by two or three black families because they considered me too dark. So yes, I mean, I agree that perhaps a black home is probably best for a black kid, but, I mean, it wasn't by accident that in 1972 a white couple from Washington state ended up with this black kid from Cleveland. They were not my first visitors.\nMARTIN: It sounds like you had a loving relationship with your parents and family and siblings. Would you still recommend trans-racial adoption today? Do you think it's a good idea?\nGOLLER-SOJOURNER: I'm not opposed to it. I mean, it's tough because, you know, as a parent you want to protect your child. But you also have to prepare your child for the world they're entering into. And, you know, they were there for me, you know, in college when I was going through some issues surrounding self-hatred and kind of, you know, begin to take this descent into blackness and out of the whiteness. It was difficult because I realized all these privileges that I had I would have to start letting them go.\nMARTIN: So what's the solution? How do you prepare kids?\nGOLLER-SOJOURNER: I don't have, like, a check list. But if I did, it would sound something like this. If you don't have any close friends or know people who look like your kid before you adopt a kid then why are you adopting that kid? So your child should not be your first black friend. You know? Where are you living? It's interesting, you know, people cross the country for a job, but they won't move two neighborhoods over so that their kid can go to a more diverse school. Somebody's going to have to be uncomfortable. I think it should be the parent. One of the things I think that was the hardest for me is I didn't have any independent relationships with black people, especially adult black people, until I was an adult. I was 25 before I saw a black doctor. I think there's a lot of things that people do that you can do - certainly you can do better than my parents did because they only had certain options.\nMARTIN: When you were talking about shedding white privilege, you then used the phrase I started descending into blackness. What does that mean? And what did it mean for you?\nGOLLER-SOJOURNER: Basically, you know, I began a journey. And for me it began with a new name. I added sojourner to my name, and I moved to New York City where, for the first time, I found my own reflection pleasing. So for instance, I didn't have to, hey, I'm not the black guy you think I am. I used to say that in different ways. You know, I carried a picture of my family. I tucked it behind my driver's license for years. Wherever the license went, the picture followed. Sometimes whispering and sometimes shouting, you know, I'm not the black man you think I am. And I stopped saying that.\nMARTIN: How did your parents respond to that when you changed your name and started to assert a stronger black identity?\nGOLLER-SOJOURNER: Yeah. There was no, you know, I was smart enough not to drop the Goller. I mean, you know, hey, mom and dad, I changed my name. Could you cut another check for school? You know? (Laughter). That - but they were very happy with that. And one thing - I'm part of the first wave - the 60s and the 70s so my parents had every single book, you know, in the library by a black author and black people. And so we were highly educated in that realm. But that only takes you so far. I mean, I learned to fall in love with myself and being black in my mid-20s to late-20s. And although it was a beautiful experience, it shouldn't have taken 25 years to do that.\nMARTIN: That was my conversation with Chad Goller-Sojourner about his experience as an African-American adopted by a white family. So Jordana and Chris, this is the piece that you selected out of this year that was really memorable to you. This is a story that generated a whole lot of public response, right?\nHOCHMAN: Yes, it really did. And it wasn't our first story on the topic of trans-racial adoption. A couple weeks before we aired our interview with Chad we had a conversation with a white woman about adopting African-American children, and we talked with her about what that experience was like.\nMARTIN: And what happened after that interview, Chris?\nBENDEREV: At that point we did get a lot of responses from trans-racial adoptees. They wanted to hear their perspective on-air. And I think at that point we started looking around for someone who could tell that experience well. And it ended up being Chad. When it I listen back to it, it just strikes me that he seems fair to both his parents and trans-racial adoptees who had a hard time like him. And maybe it shouldn't be sort of eye-opening, but it was, when he said someone's going to have to be uncomfortable. And when he had that line, and maybe it shouldn't be your child. It just sort of seemed like a profound point.\nMARTIN: Jordana Hochman is an editor at WEEKEND EDITION. Chris Benderev is one of our producers. Thanks so much for sharing your pick, you guys.\nBENDEREV: Sure.\nHOCHMAN: Thanks.",

        "raw_content": "From 1763, Americans had only to be convinced that an arbitrary ruler-\nwhether Parliament or King-was violating their inherent rights, to feel\nthat rebellion was justified. This conviction was bred in them by the\nseries of events that occurred between 1763 and 1776. The language used to\nprotest the British Acts was legal, and political. But the primary cause of\nthe Revolution is economics.\nIn theory the colonists accepted the principle that natural laws\nrather than royal decrees should govern the economy. In practice only the\nsouthern colonies were bound to England by the tobacco trade. The New\nEngland and Middle Colonies, unable to find markets in Britain, found\nprosperity by ...\nprotested upon the principle of \"no\ntaxation without representation\". The stamp act was affecting virtually\nall the colonists, and restricted economic prosperity, thus it was\nprotested by colonists. The Townshend acts were also a factor in the\neconomic theory, Sam Adams had said \"The parliament was taxing illegally!\",\nmost colonists agreed, and a boycott of British goods resulted. When the\nBritish passed the Currency act, this left the paper money worthless, and\nthe colonists had to rely (economically) on England for Hard Currency. The\nmain reason for revolution was economics.\nThe colonies were economically subordinate to England by the tea and\ncoercive acts. The tea act was an act where the colonist middlemen\nmerchants were being bypassed, and the trading was done by the British.\nThis hurt the economic prosperity of the colonists, mobs had strengthened\nin anger and the Boston T.tea Party followed.

        "raw_content": "Same Sex Marriage \u2013 the Revival of a 12th Century Heresy\nPreached at St. Joseph Church, Woonsocket, Rhode Island, on May 16, 2004, the day before civil \u201cmarriage\u201d between two men or two women became legal in Massachusetts, a mile up the road from my parish.\nHomily \u2014 6th Sunday Easter May 16, 2004\nSt Dominic Receives the Rosary from the Virgin Mary (Carlow Cathedral)\nWhen I go up to Somerville near Boston to visit my sister, I sometimes take a walk up to McIntire and Moore Booksellers in Davis Square to look around. This book store is kind of a unique place, much like the rest of Somerville and nearby Cambridge. McIntire and Moore sells \u201cnew used\u201d books \u2014 almost every book in the place has been in print for twenty or more years, but they all look like they\u2019ve never been touched. I\u2019ve bought two of them if you don\u2019t believe me.\nBut besides this, the bookstore has a punk rock record store/nightclub feel to it. It\u2019s kind of a hip place to be. It has that atmosphere Borders Bookstore spends ten of thousands of dollars trying to get but doesn\u2019t achieve. All the signs are hand painted, the Talking Heads are playing on the stereo system, and you know you\u2019re within a five mile radius of Harvard University.\nSo there I was, taking this all in and waiting for some new used book to interest me, when I hear a young man near me say something very strange to the woman with the purple hair behind the cash register: \u201cDo you have any books on the Albigensian Heresy?\u201d\nAs David Byrne and company kept the funky beat going in the background, the girl with the purple hair said \u201cthe what?\u201d\n\u201cThe Albigensian Heresy. I think it was in the 12th century.\u201d\n\u201cDo you know the name of the author?\u201d\nI swung around with my clerics on and asked if I could be of assistance. The young man asking was a lot less radical looking than the cashier, your typical Bostonian urban college student. I told him I knew a little about that heresy, that it began in the 12th century from southern France and as a result St. Dominic formed the Dominican Order to defeat it.\nWe couldn\u2019t find any books on it. Since it didn\u2019t look like the guy was a religion major, I asked him why on earth did he want to learn about Albigensianism. He told me \u201cthe New Yorker Magazine had a neat article on it a few weeks ago.\u201d\n\u201cThe New Yorker Magazine \u2014 you sure?\u201d\n\u201cYup. It was pretty interesting.\u201d\nWhen I got back to my sister\u2019s house, I told her about what happened and she said, \u201coh yes, I remember seeing that article but I didn\u2019t read it. Here it is\u201d \u2014 my sister is a subscriber to the New Yorker.\nI must admit I knew very little myself about the heresy until I read the article. The main error the Albigensians fell into was that they saw the material world to be evil. Everything done by the body was sinful. Eating was a mortal sin. Walking was a mortal sin. Relations with a spouse were as sinful as relations with any other person. Wanting nice possessions was a mortal sin.\nEverything you did with your body was equally sinful, except for one sin \u2014 to have children was the worst thing you could do, because it created more evil matter. And killing a person was a little less sinful, since you are freeing a person from their evil body. Actually, to kill yourself was considered a good thing, comparable to martyrdom, and hundreds of Albigensians did that to be freed of their bodies.\nThousands of people bought into this heresy, and it\u2019s not too difficult to see why not, because if everything is forbidden than everything becomes doable.\nStrangely enough, the New Yorker Magazine article which described these things was actually sympathetic to the heretics, kind of winking at their transgressions. Albigensianism was made to look \u201ccool,\u201d which is why this college student was asking a purple haired girl if she knew of any good books on this religion.\nAfter praying and thinking more about this, I have come to the conclusion that after 700 years, the Albigensian Heresy is back and stronger than ever. The only difference is that the neo-Albigensians say matter isn\u2019t evil or good, matter is just meaningless.\nTomorrow, on May 17, we will see another logical conclusion to this philosophy in the state just north of us. Massachusetts tomorrow will become the first state in our country to change the definition of the word marriage, a word that since the beginning of recorded history has meant the civil union of a man and a woman.\nHow has this happened? Is it like the movie and comic book X-Men, is humankind now evolving into a radical new thing? Or is it like the book A Wrinkle in Time, just made into a TV movie last week, have humans on planet earth expanded their cosmic consciousness due to scientific advancements? Or is it just further down the slippery slope, a further decay in the apple that on the outside looks shiny and fresh, but on the inside is full of creeping rot, an undermining of the foundations a civil society is based upon?\nWhat would Jesus think of same-sex marriages? What would the apostles think of them?\nIn the first reading, there\u2019s some problems occurring in the early Church in Antioch, and so they send men to Jerusalem to ask for answers from the Apostles. The Apostles say to them it is the decision of the Holy Spirit and us that such-and-such is to be done. The voice of God and the voice of the Church are now one, because Jesus is one flesh with His Bride the Church.\nAnd the Magisterium, the apostolic teaching authority of the Church now based in Rome, has spoken regarding this current problem, as everyone knows: it is the decision of the Holy Spirit and us says the Catholic Church, that there are absolutely no grounds for considering homosexual unions to be in any way similar or even remotely analogous to God\u2019s plan for marriage and family.\nBut how did we get to May 17, 2004? Why can\u2019t we see the obvious? Because we have made the material world something meaningless in our modern world.\nThe Albigensian Heresy came rushing back to us in the 1960s with the Pill. The Pill made it possible to separate the unitive and procreative dimensions of our sexuality. People were able to be sexually active without the troublesome risks and responsibilities of children being born.\nEveryone in the 1960\u2019s accepted this separation of babies from the sexual act. Everyone that is but the big bad Roman Catholic Church. It is the decision of the Holy Spirit and us says Pope Paul VI in Humanae Vitae that it is gravely sinful to separate the unitive and procreative dimensions of the sexual act, based on the nature of the human person and the human body.\nBut we didn\u2019t want to hear it, it would spoil the fun. So in order to justify the Pill, we became neo-Albigensians. The human body was meaningless, it was the spirit of love that mattered. So we went on not heeding the successors of the Apostles, and the 1970s brought in the next two phases, the sexual revolution followed by the gay rights movement.\nOur culture was powerless to condemn extra-marital or homosexual actions, since one of the main reasons they are wrong is that they aren\u2019t open to life, and neither are most heterosexual actions within marriage at this point. So we ultimately had to accept the gay lifestyle in our culture. But that was OK now, because the body was meaningless anyway. It was love that mattered.\nFinally the last piece of the puzzle came with the advent of test tube babies. Now one can go to Lincoln RI and make a baby in a Petri dish. Two women can have a baby without a man getting too involved. What does it matter that a child doesn\u2019t has two fathers and no mother or visa versa? The body doesn\u2019t matter at all.\nThat\u2019s wrong. From both a natural and a supernatural basis, the body has profound meaning which affects our moral life.\nOn the natural level, the family unit of a man and a woman is the best place psychologically to raise a child. Traditional marriage needs to be given privileged status in our society because of this. Homosexual persons should have the same rights as others, but not the special rights given to married people.\nOn a supernatural level, we believe that the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. The invisible God became a human, giving profound meaning to the body. And even if the Son of God hadn\u2019t become Incarnate, our bodies still have spiritual significance.\nWhat do we do now? Well, how was Albigensianism defeated the first time? The main weapon which defeated this heresy was the Holy Rosary. It was there in France at this time that the Rosary became a popular devotion of the people. There is even a pious tradition that the Virgin Mary appeared to St. Dominic and gave him the Rosary, saying \u201cwith this you will defeat the Albigensians.\u201d Whether that apparition actually happened or not, St. Dominic did bring people back to the faith by the Rosary, and for 700 years that heresy was defeated.\nAnd I am certain that this new outbreak of the same heresy can be conquered in the same way. Take up your Rosary, grab the beads in your hands, and realize you are praying to a woman now body and soul in Heaven. Meditate each day on the mysteries of our Faith: How the invisible God took Flesh in the womb of the Virgin Mary and was born into a family of one man and one woman; how in order to free us from our sins Jesus\u2019 Human body was pierced and His blood was shed, and how Jesus rose from the dead in His human body. Pray that our culture comes to realize how God made us body and spirit.\nPray also for me and all priests and bishops. Soon it may be illegal to preach a homily like this. That might sound incredible to some of you, but it is already illegal in some countries.\nFor example, the April 19, 2004 issue of US News and World Report, on page 14 states that \u201cIn Sweden, sermons are explicitly covered by an anti-hate-speech law passed to protect homosexuals. The Swedish chancellor of justice said any reference to the Bible\u2019s stating that homosexuality is sinful might be a criminal offense, and a Pentecostal minister is already facing charges. . . .In Ireland last August, the Irish Council for Civil Liberties warned that clergy who circulated a Vatican statement opposing gay marriages could face prosecution for incitement- to- hatred-legislation.\u201d\nThe Church will continue to preach the truth in love, be it legal or illegal to do so. God forbid that I as a priest of Jesus Christ stop proclaiming His Gospel in its fullness. But perhaps the next time I give a homily like this, I will get a transfer back to living in my last parish \u2014 at the State Correctional Institutions in Cranston, half a mile up the road from St. Mark Church! If so, I\u2019ll send you letters.\nUntil then, next time you see a Boston college student talking to a girl with purple hair about medieval heresies, hand them both a Rosary, OK?\n\u201cPro-choice\u201d Politicians and Holy Communion\nHomily \u2014 4th Sunday of Easter May 2, 2004\nPosted in Blogroll, Lent/Easter Homilies | 1 Comment \u00bb",

        "raw_content": "Homily \u2014 3rd Sunday Ordinary Time A Jan 27, 2008\nWe see in the readings today, Our Lord Jesus beginning to proclaim \u201cThe Gospel of the Kingdom\u201c.\nMatthew says He went around all of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom, and curing every disease and illness among the people.\nThis \u201cGospel\u201d Jesus proclaimed would have been something totally different from anything that the people would have previously heard. Even the very word \u201cGospel\u201d would have been strange sounding to the people of Galilee, coming from a religious figure like Jesus. They would have said \u201cThe Gospel? What\u2019s the Gospel got to do with our religion? Moses never spoke about a Gospel, the Psalms or the Prophets never spoke about a Gospel. Where does He get that from?\u201d\nIn fact, the only person who spoke of a Gospel before Jesus and John the Baptist was the Roman Emperor.\nThe Emperor in Jesus\u2019 day saw himself as a god and a savior of his people. And from time to time, the Emperor would issue what was called an evangelium, the Latin word for Gospel, which was a decree from \u201cgod the Roman Emperor\u201d which would have to be followed by all his subjects.\nAs he considered himself a god, these Gospels the Emperor issued were considered, by him at least, to be ushering in a better world than before.\nMore often than not however, these Gospels would be decrees which raised taxes, forced young men into military service, or declared war on some smaller and weaker country.\nSo these Gospels were not exactly what you would call \u201cGood News.\u201d And most of the time these Gospels issued by the Emperor made the world a much worse place to live in, rather than a better place.\nBut it\u2019s this same word \u201cGospel\u201d that Jesus choses to use to describe his teaching. However, whereas the Roman Emperor thought he was god but really wasn\u2019t, Jesus thinks He\u2019s God and really is.\nAnd therefore, unlike the Roman Emperor\u2019s \u201cGospels\u201d, Jesus\u2019 Gospel always does make the world an easier place to live in, for those who accept it. For Emperor Jesus in today\u2019s Scriptures decrees a Gospel which is a Kingdom of Hope, of Mercy, of Wisdom, and of Charity come to earth in the hearts and lives of those who believe in Him.\nBut in order for this Gospel of Jesus to take root, we need to be schooled in it. We see in the reading today Jesus went around all of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom, and curing every disease and illness among the people..\nJesus spent a great deal of His time teaching people the ways of God, so that they would be able to embrace His Gospel and find healing.\nAnd Catholic education needs to be mainly about training our children and young people in the ways of God \u2014 teaching them the wonderful doctrines of our Catholic Faith, teaching them the moral laws Christ and His Church give us to live by, teaching them how to pray and worship God, both publicly through the celebration of Mass and the Sacraments, and privately through personal prayer and devotions such as the Holy Rosary.\nI\u2019m happy to say that our Catholic Regional School system, of which Good Shepherd is a part of, places a strong emphasis on the Faith aspect of the education of students, at the same time keeping a high standard in the other areas of education.\nBecause Catholic Schools have a very vital important mission in our Church.\nWhen St. Elizabeth Seton, one of the first canonized American born saints, started the Catholic School system in America, she said that Catholic Schools \u201care of the greatest importance for the propagation and preservation of the Catholic faith in the United States.\u201d\nSt. Elizabeth Seton\u2019s belief was that if Catholic schools weren\u2019t strong, the Catholic Faith wouldn\u2019t spread to other people in this country; and if Catholic schools weren\u2019t strong, neither would the Catholic Faith survive in this country.\nThat is because just as it was in Jesus\u2019 day, if people aren\u2019t taught well the Gospel, there\u2019s no way that they can be able to fully embrace the Gospel and benefit from it.\nOn this Catholic Schools Sunday, let us ask St. Elizabeth Seton\u2019s and St. Don Bosco\u2019s and all the other great Catholic educators to intercede for our Catholic schools in Rhode Island and America today, and may we do all we can to support the mission of Catholic Education of our youth.\n2nd Sunday Ordinary Time A January 20, 2008\nI didn\u2019t preach this weekend \u2013 we had our diocesan vocations director preach at all the Masses on vocations.\nHomily \u2014 Baptism of the Lord MMVIII Jan. 13, 2008\nThe Church has from ancient times celebrated Jesus\u2019 Baptism as an adult only a few weeks after celebrating his birth at Christmas, even though there is a span of 30 years between the two events in the Gospel.\nAnd while at first, the two feasts might not seem to have that much in common, if we look closer we see how appropriate it is to celebrate them one after the other.\nFor at Christmas, Christ is born a man; at the Baptism Christ is re-born, Sacramentally.\nAt Christmas, we see the Mother of Jesus in Silent Wonder looking down at her new born Son as He lies in the Manger;\nAt the Baptism, we \u201csee\u201d the Father of Jesus, not Silent but for the first time in the whole New Testament Speaking in praise of His Son as He comes up from the Water; this is my beloved Son, listen to Him.\nAt Christmas, we see the Magi opening up their treasures before Jesus, never to take back the gifts they give Him.\nAt the Baptism, we see God the Father opening up the Gates of Heaven for Jesus and us His disciples, never to shut them again, and never to take back His gift of the Holy Spirit.\nAnd from the Baptism of Jesus on, every Baptism is a second Christmas, because at every Baptism Jesus is sacramentally born again in the hearts and minds of the newly baptized Christian.\nAnd just as in the Incarnation, God\u2019s Eternal Son, the Second Person of the Trinity sealed Himself indelibly to a human soul and body in the Person of Jesus Christ, so in the Sacrament of Baptism, you and I are sealed indelibly with the love of God.\nThe Catechism of the Catholic Church, in the section on Baptism, speaks about this Seal of Baptism:\n1272 Incorporated into Christ by Baptism, the person baptized is configured to Christ. Baptism seals the Christian with the indelible spiritual mark (character) of his belonging to Christ. No sin can erase this mark, even if sin prevents Baptism from bearing the fruits of salvation. Given once for all, Baptism cannot be repeated. . . .\n1273 . . . . (This) baptismal seal enables and commits Christians to serve God by a vital participation in the holy liturgy of the Church and to exercise their baptismal priesthood by the witness of holy lives and practical charity.\nBut while we are sealed with the love of Christ at Baptism, the gift we are given at Baptism is just like the baby Jesus \u2014 we must care, nurture, feed and protect it in order for it to grow to maturity.\nOn this Feast of the Lord\u2019s Baptism, may we give thanks to Jesus for being born for us a Baby in Bethlehem on Christmas, and especially for being born again in us on the Day we were brought to the Font and Baptized in Christ.\nHomily \u2014 Epiphany MMVIII Jan. 6, 2008\nToday the Church throughout the world, from the East to the West, solemnly celebrates the Epiphany or Manifestation of the New Born Christ to the Magi.\nToday, the first of many countless Magi, who will come down through the centuries, rejoice at seeing the star right over the place they had been searching for.\nFor from this day forward, men and women from every race, ethnicity, and country, who, like the Magi, are highly educated, and financially prosperous, and whose names are well respected among their people, who like the Magi are leaders in their communities,\nThese men and women also are called by a tiny light \u2014 the light of faith \u2014 to set out on a journey which ultimately brings them to the House of Jesus and Mary His Mother \u2014 the Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church \u2014 there to prostrate themselves before Jesus, and offer Him all that they have to give.\nMany of these Magi, past and present, have had to make a long, difficult and even dangerous journey in order to arrive at their destination.\nAnd while some have more challenging or exciting journeys than others, each and every Magi that follows the star all the way to the House where Mary and Jesus resides always leaves that house the way the first Magi did: they depart for their country by another way; As the Gospel says.\nThey return to their pagan, unbelieving countries by another way, for the former way they had of worshiping the false gods of those around them no longer appeals to them.\nThey return to using their great wealth, their vast knowledge and learning, and their positions of authority by another way, for now they put all these talents and treasures at the service of Jesus, the Way, the Truth and the Life.\nOn this great Feast of the Epiphany, may you and I take our place alongside the wise Magi, the wise shepherds, and the wise sheep, and oxen and donkeys, and offer all we have to the Newborn King and God of all peoples and nations and ages.\nHomily \u2014 Mary Mother of God MMVIII 1-1-08\nToday we see our Blessed Mother reflecting on all that happened to her the past year. Reflecting on her marriage to St. Joseph, on the Annunciation the Archangel Gabriel made to her that she would be the Mother of God. Reflecting on the Holy Spirit\u2019s overshadowing her, on her virginal conception, and how for nine months she carried in her womb the God Man. Reflecting on her Visitation to her cousin Elizabeth, and on her surprise trip to Bethlehem with Joseph, and finally on the miraculous Birth of her Son, Jesus, in the Manger at Bethlehem.\nAll these things, all these blessings of God over the past year, Mary kept and reflected upon in her heart.\nWe too should certainly take some time in prayer this New Year\u2019s, reflecting on the many things God has done for us personally this past year \u2014 on the blessings and graces God has given us, even the trials God has permitted us to face. May we keep these blessings and graces and ponder on them in our hearts as we begin 2008, knowing that the Lord has many more blessings in store for us this coming year.\nWe should also reflect not only on how God has blessed us individually, but on how God has blessed us as a Church community this past year \u2014 how God has blessed our parish, our diocese and our universal Church as a whole.\nIf we reflect on the past year at our parish, it was certainly a most eventful year. Last March, Fr. Blain announced that he was retiring after 24 years of being pastor of St. Joseph\u2019s. Then, about a month later, it was announced that the Bishop had appointed me as your new pastor, effective July 1!\nIn August, Bishop Tobin visited our parish for the very first time, for my Mass of Installation as Pastor.\nAnd in September, we were all pleasantly surprised by the arrival of Fr. Marcin, only 3 months ordained, as our new part time assistant pastor.\nOur parish honored Fr. Blain with a Mass and dinner in October;\nAnd finally, our parish this past year embarked upon it\u2019s first major capital campaign since the renovation of the Church 13 years ago, and happily we made our $600,000 pledge goal in a matter of weeks. May we keep all these blessings in our hearts.\nOn a diocesan level, the Providence Visitor became the Rhode Island Catholic, and Bishop Tobin could also be heard and seen very frequently on talk radio shows and TV News shows and Sunday newspapers, proclaiming the Gospel and teaching the faith \u201cwithout a doubt\u201d as he would say.\nOur Bishop even made the national news because of a column he wrote in the Rhode Island Catholic criticizing a certain Catholic presidential candidate for his stand on abortion. When the candidate was asked at a nationally televised debate to respond to Bishop Tobin\u2019s criticism, lightning bolts kept silencing the microphone he was trying to talk into.\nThe Bishop told the national and local news media it was just a coincidence, but a few weeks later at a priest get together I was at, one of my confr\u00c3\u00a8re\u2019s ask him \u201cBishop, can you really call lightning down from Heaven?\u201d and he said \u201cWell, I\u2019m tempted to try it on certain football teams!\u201d\nFinally, in the universal Church, probably the single biggest event this past year occurred, appropriately enough, on 7-7-7, July 7th, 2007, when our Holy Father Pope Benedict issued a document which lifted the restrictions on the celebration of the centuries-old Traditional Latin Mass, also known as the Tridentine Mass. The Pope did so in response to the growing number of Catholics, old and young, who are strongly attracted to the older form of Mass.\nAnd as I mentioned in the bulletin back in September, I plan by the end of this year to offer the Traditional Latin Mass here at St. Joseph\u2019s, at a time separate from the normally scheduled Masses, for those parishioners who have expressed to me an interest in having it, and for anyone else who wishes to attend.\nI\u2019m now currently in the process of training some altar servers to serve the Mass. I\u2019ve already bought my biretta, the black felt hat with the pom pom on top, which I\u2019m ready to put on and \u201cGo to the Altar of God\u201d with!\nAnd so there are some of the major events that happened in our Holy Catholic Church this past year. Certainly in countless other ways, God has blessed and guided us in 2007.\nAs we begin this New Year of Grace, let us entrust ourselves and our families and our Church to our Bl Mother. May she hold us all in her maternal heart throughout this year, and help us to reflect upon and keep all the great things her Son Jesus has done for us, and be open to all the great things He will continue to do his disciples.",

        "raw_content": "\"Cancer free\" isn't all it's cracked up to be.\nYes, my name is Kelley, but I am SO much more than...\nWhen my world got rocked, I decided to rock my own...\nDon't get me wrong, being cancer free is great. I know it makes others happy to ask if I am cancer free and hear me say yes. But the harsh reality is that cancer survivors can never say they are free from scars...neither physically or emotionally. We can never say that we are free from what it took from us. I've been done with treatment for almost four years now and I hope with everything that is within me that one day I can say I am free from the effects of treatment.\nFor instance, to this very day, about every four months or so, I will get that terrible chemo taste in my mouth. It lasts for three to four weeks and then just goes away. It is a reminder of what I went through. It is short sided for anyone who hasn't ever dealt with the disease to think we as survivors should just be \"grateful\" to be alive. You have NO idea how difficult life is forever changed from the very moment you hear the words, \"You have cancer.\"\nOn one of the darkest emotional days I ever had during treatment I couldn't sleep at all and was up in the middle of the night, alone, bawling my eyes out. Alone with the dark thoughts cancer patients can't confide to their friends and family. I wrote the following poem that night and I hope it brings you hope or that you can share it with someone else to bring them hope if they are facing this terrible monster.\nThe busy streets, the hustle and bustle, the cares of today all rushing by. Then one word enters your life and everything stops. Time is suspended. Oh...all the rest of the world is still rushing by as you stand in the middle of the freeway wondering how you are not getting hit. Although being hit is exactly what has happened. Hit by the word \"Cancer.\" Your world starts moving in slow motion and your mind a complete fog. Day by day is spent trying to let this sink in, how can this be true? Maybe there's been a mistake, it just can't be you.\nSlowly you start to understand that you will never wake up from this horrible nightmare because you are already awake. As you settle in with the reality of your new existence you ponder many things. Somewhere, somewhere deep within you starts to rise. She rises and keeps rising until she is completely standing. It is the you that shrunk many years before too afraid to ever come out.\nYou stand tall and take a look around. Only this time you don't see what you used to see. You see new beginnings, you see so many possibilities. You start to have ideas, dreams, hopes for your future. Then, you grab hold of those and you hold tight with all that is within you and you fight. You fight to live, to learn, to grow and love.\nAnd then you realize that this is the new you.\nWritten by Kelley McElreath\nwww.feelthetatas.com\nYes, my name is Kelley, but I am SO much more than that! Who are you?\nWho are you? If someone were to ask you this question, how would you answer? I think a lot of us would just say our name. I think a lot of the time, it is just our human conditioned nature to not give ourselves credit for who we really are. Sometimes, when I think of who I am personally, I think of all the things that are wrong with me. I think of all my mistakes and failures. I think of all my many shortcomings. That is until I help someone. Or when I share my story and the things I have overcome with someone.\nThere are days when I totally and completely struggle and fail. Usually, this is all mentally. I think about all the many readers of my blog and the different things that we all struggle with. And I wonder to myself how much of our struggles are just in our own minds....our own mindsets. I have come to realize that while others can offer me comfort and hope, only I can change my mindset about ME and anything or anyone else for that matter.\nIn general, I think that if someone were to talk to you or I about their greatness, we might think of them as egotistical. I myself think I might think that way if someone told me this. But again, I feel that this is a limited mindset. Something I have found that helps me greatly, and I think will help you as well, is to come up with affirmations for myself. Sometimes, the best ones come to me when I am at my best and feeling the strongest.\nRecently, after having days on end of not feeling so hot about myself, I started wondering to myself and just thinking about when I am the happiest and when I feel the most joy. I had a moment when I was really, really overcome with fear and stress and in that same moment an opportunity came up to encourage someone and I did. The reaction from this person was so full of gratitude. And I didn't really do anything special at all. At least it wasn't that amazing from my view point. Then I thought about the people who self-harm, are depressed and suicidal, cancer survivors, other women who have reached out to me through my blog. Just thinking about all of this made me feel better. I realized that when I reach out to someone else, all my thoughts are on them and off of myself and suddenly life just feels better.\nSo, some of the affirmations I tell myself are...\nI am a life-changer\nI am a power house\nI have a driving force within me\nThese are just a few, but the ones I use regularly. When I am hard on myself or just down, they remind me of who I really am at my core. So, who are you? If you could shout it out to the world and could not care less about what anyone thought, what would you shout? Maybe you are an awesome leader, maybe you are a free thinker, maybe you are an extremely dedicated individual. Regardless, think about what makes you happy and brings you the most joy. What are you doing at those times? What are you feeling and why? Make a list in your phone to remind you. Then, when you are struggling or feeling low, read your list. Say them out loud to yourself daily so they get in your head, but even better...down into your soul.\nI just want you all to know that YOU are more than your name. SO much more. We ALL, each and every single one of us, have something BIG to offer the world. Let's stop focusing on all the things we aren't or can't do, and focus on the great parts of us. One of the greatest things I have ever heard is \"What people think about me is none of my business\" as well as \"You don't have to believe every thought you think.\"\nThink highly of yourself. Think the best about YOU. See the best in yourself. Really think about it and come up with all the many reasons YOU are so amazing. There is only ONE you. You are unique beyond description. Since there is only one YOU, only YOU can do what you were put here on this earth to do. So don't wait around waiting for someone else to do it! Discover who YOU are and go out and fulfill your purpose!!\nWhen my world got rocked, I decided to rock my own world.\nWhen my world got rocked, I decided to rock my own world. Hmmmmm.......Most of you know that I am a life coach. I just spent the past four days in a training class and it was great. I wrote down the title for this blog post on the last day of class. I love helping other people. I love watching a person get better, feel better, live better lives and helping them discover their greatness on their own.\nThings have been tough in my life emotionally lately. Today has not been a good day. I have been left to be the single parent to be the anchor and emotionally available person for my children. I in turn take it all on my own shoulders. One of the most difficult things as a parent is to not have the answers for your children or a solution to offer them as they face the hard things that life throws at them.\nSometimes, when days like to day start to get me down, I have to \"coach\" myself and this is me doing that. I sit and wonder to myself often why I am still here. I wonder how I will live the rest of my days out in this crazy place called my life. Do you ever get like that? Do you ever just want it all to stop? I know I sure do. But thank God I know I have an internal strength within myself that I can pull from. When days are good, I can say to myself, I AM A FREAKIN' ROCK STAR!! I can remember all that I have endured and yet still sit here on top, alive, helping others be the best version of themselves that they can be. But on the bad days, it is hard to do this.\nSo, although today hasn't started out well, I know that only I can make it better. I know that only I am in control of my happiness. And it all starts within. I never expected this blog post to be what it has turned into when I wrote that title down. But here I am and I have to ask myself...what can I do to rock my own world. I hope the words that follow will encourage you to do the same.\nIn order for me to take charge and full responsibility, I have to dig deep. I know that I have a driving force that resides within me. It is a force that goes untapped sometimes. But I know it is there. I have to remind myself of the power that lies within ME. No one else can make me better. Others might be able to offer me some comfort, but true lasting change can only happen within myself.\nIn the past couple of weeks I have had some very incredible things said about me by different individuals. So, I take the time now to try and see for myself what it is they see. It is so hard to see the qualities in yourself that others find very valuable by just your presence. I think it is human nature to focus on all of our flaws and all the things we do wrong.\nSo today I must CHOOSE to see the good in myself. CHOOSE to see how much I have accomplished. CHOOSE to see all the wonderful things that ARE happening in my life right now. I think the single greatest thing to do is focus on RIGHT NOW. It's easy to get caught up in what HAS happened and what COULD happen rather than what IS happening. And at this very moment, everything is fine.\nI hope you can pull some strength from inside of YOU to get you through the not so good days. And let us not forget, YOU are a ROCK START too!",

        "raw_content": "Today is the 12th International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). FGM is a form of violence against women that involves the alteration of female genitalia through cutting, altering, or injuring for non-medical reasons. While it occurs in different forms, one thing is certain: FGM is a social practice that has no health benefits. In fact, the World Health Organization condemns FGM as violation of human rights that causes \u201clifelong physical and emotional trauma.\u201d Although practiced worldwide, FGM is most commonly performed in Africa, Asia and the Middle East.\nThe United Nations estimates that over 130 million women have undergone the procedure. Additionally, they estimate that 86 million more will be impacted by 2030. Many cultures believe that without FGM, women are not eligible for marriage and lifelong economic security. It is most often performed on young women from infancy until the age of 15. Women who have undergone FGM may be plagued with health consequences for the rest of their lives that may impact their ability to have their own children. We know for a fact that FGM can cause health problems, increase the risk of HIV transmission, and increase mother and infant mortality rates.\nDespite this horrific reality, there is hope and an opportunity for action. A UNICEF study suggests that \u201cif public dialogues can be initiated, people may begin to see that social expectations about the practice are no longer valid.\u201d Survivors of FGM have become activists within their communities using grassroots educational efforts to help the next generation of girls. You can learn more about their work through the Equity Now Foundation\u2019s film Africa Rising. Today is a chance for people worldwide to take a stand against FGM!\nYou can contribute to this dialogue by sharing this post and other facts about the practice on social media.

F. H. Alexander did an exceptional job with minimal assistance and interpretation from us. They maintained the construction schedule and contract \u2014 a big thing for a new contractor.

        "raw_content": "Thomas Piccirilli (1965-2015)\nHorror and mystery author Thomas Piccirilli died July 11 of cancer. Piccirilli had over 150 published stories. As a top writer in the horror field he was the winner of five Bram Stoker Awards, two for Best Poetry Collection (A Student of Hell, 2001, and Forgiving Judas, 2015), as well as for Short Fiction (\u201cThe Misfit Child Grows Fat on Despair,\u201d 2003), Best Novel (The Night Class, 2004), and Best Alternative Forms (The Devil\u2019s Wine, 2005). He received a total of 16 Stoker nominations during his career.\nFor his mystery writing he was also a finalist for the 2009 Edgar Allan Poe Award given by the Mystery Writers of America.\nNick Mamatas has written a fine personal tribute to Piccirilli:\nHere\u2019s how good he was. A couple of years ago, I left a copy of The Coldest Mile on a bus in Seattle when Olivia and I in town for the Locus Awards. I had used my Virgin America boarding pass as a bookmark. I got a Facebook message from a stranger who found the book and said he\u2019d like to send it back to me. It was a cheap mass market paperback, not the sort of thing anyone would miss or have a sentimental attachment to, but when this guy found the book, he started reading it, and was hooked. And he knew, because of the bookmark, that I hadn\u2019t finished and that I needed to. So he contacted me and mailed the book back to me at his own expense, then filled his Kindle with Tom Pic.\nHere\u2019s how good he was. When the cancer came, a young relative of his launched an online fundraiser. She had no idea how much we loved her uncle Pic, and set the fundraiser goal to $500. It ended up being 4,823% funded.\nThis entry was posted in In Passing and tagged Thomas Piccirilli by Mike Glyer.

My thoughts go out to his family and friends.\nI\u2019ve already noted on Nick\u2019s Livejournal, but I\u2019d like to repeat it here, that I bought some of Piccirilli\u2019s work on Nick\u2019s recommendation, even though it was outside my comfort zone; I have never regretted that, though I do greatly regret that he is no longer with us to write more stories that push us to think in different ways\u2026\nI hope its not a bad place to ask\u2026 I haven\u2019t read anything by him. Where would be a good place to start? He must have been excellent to inspire such devotion.\nOf his horror novels, I\u2019d recommend November Mourns or A Choir of Ill Chilren. Of his crime novels, The Cold Spot or The Last Whisper in the Dark.\n@Nick Mamatas\nFor those who like short fiction and/or poetry, I would highly recommend Futile Efforts, which is available in Kindle format.\nAlan Ziebarth on July 12, 2015 at 4:27 am said:\nI always liked his horror novels. But I loved his crime novels. I discovered his crime novels when I was obsessing on crime and noir writings a few years ago. And I was over-joyed with them. He was so under-appreciated. His talent certainly deserved a jump into the heavily advertised lucrative hardcover thriller market. I\u2019m a retired public librarian. And when I was working I always bought every book of his and they always circulated quite well. Like until they fell apart. He sounds like he was a great guy and I actually feel a little guilty that the first thing I thought of was that I wouldn\u2019t be able to enjoy any new fiction of his anymore. Now I have to search for his writings that I haven\u2019t read yet. RIP to a phenomenal writer.\nAaron on July 12, 2015 at 12:11 pm said:\nAlethea Kontis remembers Piccirilli.\ncmm on July 13, 2015 at 6:31 am said:\nWhat an odd coincidence.

        "title": "Should I Sell My Business? - Financial Slacker",
        "raw_content": "Are you ready to cash in, sell your company to a big corporate entity, and retire?\nSounds great, but what is your business really worth? Who will buy it? What are the next steps?\nI have spent years buying, selling, and valuing businesses as a consultant, running in-house M&A, and as a business leader.\nMy first job after graduating from business school was working for a Big 6 accounting firm in the financial advisory consulting group providing business valuation.\nLet\u2019s spend some time discussing not just how to value a business, but some of the other criteria that will impact your decision to sell.\nI Want to Sell My Business\nFor those that are not familiar, business valuation entails analyzing a company and determining a fair market value. You typically use multiple approaches including applying a market multiple to the free cash flow, estimating the cost to recreate the business, and applying the discounted cash flow (DCF) approach.\nIn most of my experience, the DCF approach is typically the highest weighted of the three. You can argue that DCF is the most accurate as it takes into account not just current cash flow from the business, but the timing of future projected cash flows, and the risk of generating those future cash flows, which is what a buyer is acquiring.\nThe mechanics of calculating the DCF of a business are relatively simple. The first step is to prepare a projection of the annual cash flows expected from the business over a specific period (often 5 years). Next you discount the annual cash flows using an appropriate weighted average cost of capital (WACC). And lastly, you calculate an appropriate terminal value and discount that value using the WACC. The sum of the discounted annual cash flows and discounted terminal value equals the current enterprise value of the business.\nPretty simple in theory, but there is much more that goes into determining these inputs, and that is why it\u2019s a good idea to hire an expert if you don\u2019t have much experience in this area. But that will work for our discussion.\nShould I Sell My Business or Keep It?\nUp to this point, everything is academic. You can use different approaches to calculate a supportable valuation, but in the end, the true value is what someone is willing to pay for the business.\nWhen I left consulting and began running M&A for a private company, this became clear. Just because my DCF indicated a business was worth X, didn\u2019t mean the owner was going to sell for X. Especially with a closely held business, the owner\u2019s expectation of value is typically greater than a corporate buyer\u2019s. A closely held business has nearly as much standing as another child to the owner. And they won\u2019t just sell their baby to just anyone.\n\u201cMost successful businesses only sell when they are in trouble, when they want to retire, or when they get stupid money.\u201d\nTo understand why this is the case, let\u2019s start with the economics and look at an example of a small business that generates $1 million in sales and generates $200,000 in profit.\nMost small businesses allow for the owner to deduct certain expenses that are used for both personal and business (cell phones, travel, etc.). This is a perk that goes away if you sell the business.\nAnd although nice to have, those deductions are small in comparison to the cash flow generated by the business.\nMost small businesses will sell for 4 to 6 times annual cash flow. In this case, the business in question would sell for $800,000 to $1.2 million. In the best case, even if we exclude any taxes that might be owed on the sale, assume the seller now has $1.2 million to invest. Now let\u2019s say the seller can find an investment paying out a 6% yield. Not bad in this market where the 10 year treasury is at 2.18%.\nSo our seller has gone from making $200,000 per year plus being able to deduct some of his personal expenses to now making $72,000 per year.\nBut what about the after-tax impact? Aren\u2019t taxes less on a financial investment as compared to a small business?\nAs a small business owner, let\u2019s say the seller was paying full self-employment taxes of 15% plus another 30% in federal income taxes. He was left with $119,000 after tax.\nAfter the sale, his investment earnings are no longer subject to self-employment taxes and he is now only paying 15% federal taxes on the investment earnings. His after-tax earnings are now $61,200.\nIt is true that our seller has monetized his equity in the business, but most small businesses aren\u2019t valuable enough to allow the owner to cash out and retire. As such, now he must find an additional $57,800 in after-tax income. And this often means going to work for the company you sold your business to.\nShould I Sell My Business or Not?\nSure as an employee, the seller no longer has to worry about making payroll and managing every aspect of the business as he did as an owner. But now he has a boss. And having a boss after years of not having a boss can be a difficult transition.\nTo give you perspective, when I was running physician practice acquisitions, we might see 1 out of every 20 transactions result in an owner becoming an employee and staying with the company for more than two years.\nSo unless an owner has adequate assets to retire, is ready to scale back their spending, or is ready to enter the workforce, it can be difficult for them to see the value in selling their business.\nAn owner can be convinced to sell if there is a real threat to their survival \u2013 i.e., opening a store next door. I have also seen owners mismanage their business so bad that they didn\u2019t have a choice but to sell \u2013 i.e., failing to pay payroll taxes for five years.\nAs a corporate buyer (and not willing to overpay), those were two scenarios that I looked for when trying to buy a company, otherwise it was difficult to close a deal.\nIf you own a business I would love to hear your thoughts on what might motivate you to sell it.\nPrevious Post: \u00ab Essential Travel Gear I Never Leave Home Without\nNext Post: How Much Life Insurance Do I Need? \u00bb",

        "raw_content": "Home > Insights > Classrooms And Our Misconceptions About Learning\n\u201cWhy do we go to school and college?\u201d\nWhenever you ask someone this question, you will get a sudden reply:\nSeriously? I don\u2019t think so. I believe we all go to school, or rather our parents send us to school, because everyone else is going to school and a formal education is required for getting a job.\nNow, I have a second question.\n\u201cHow do we learn things in school?\u201d\nA sudden reply will come for this one also.\n\u201cWe have teachers in school teach us new things.\u201d\nNo. That\u2019s ridiculous. Now, If I say teachers are not meant for teaching us, but they should be guiding the students to learn own their own, you will ask,\n\u201cNow who is sounding ridiculous?\u201d\nWe have an education system, especially here in India, that is so focused on teachers rather than students. I agree that we have produced a number of great teachers and we place them with our parents and the God, as in the saying \u201cMatha Pitha Guru Daivam\u201d. But, back then, when we had a very few written textbooks and the textbooks even if they existed were very hard to possess, teachers were the only source for gaining new knowledge. Even though this has changed a lot and we have a lot of technology that enable us to gain knowledge on the go, we still stick onto that old Gurukula concept and forces the students to believe that teacher is the ultimate source of knowledge.\nYou may ask what is wrong with that. We all had those one or two great teachers who inspired us to learn more. So, what is the harm in placing a teacher at the center of an educational system?\nI won\u2019t disagree now. But, just think about all those teachers who were so bad at their job, who made some of you hate a particular subject forever? What about that.\nI want to make sure that I am not writing all this to disrespect anyone. In fact, I really appreciate all the teachers for doing what they do. Teaching is a noble profession. But, all the teachers we have now, have come through this same educational system that made them replicas of their teachers. There are few exceptions, but a majority of them have become mere clones. So, what do these teachers do? They try their level best, knowingly or unknowingly, to make their students replicas of themselves. I am not just speaking about those students who will become teachers in the future, i am speaking about all of them.\nSo, what is the solution? We need an education system which is student-centric. Teachers must be willing to guide the students to unravel and learn new knowledge than providing them with capsuled notes and solved problems. Teaching should change from the old and outdated single-threaded system to a much diverse multi-threaded system where the requirements of all the students are taken into consideration and satisfied.\nDisruptive Learning is a great substitute for the conventional learning system. But, how to implement disruption in the current educational system that will eventually benefit the student community is yet to be researched and developed. I am not suggesting to replace the entire teaching system. That will be a total disaster. But, there are a lot of students who need special care. Ignoring them is the greatest mistake we can commit.\nSo, first step is to identify the students who are non-consumers( i am borrowing this technical term from disruptive innovation theory) of the current educational system. Next step is to understand their difficulties with the current system and requirements to be met. Finally, devise and implement activities that can cater to their needs, without going out of the current system.\nFor example, consider a government primary school in any of our villages. Installing smart classrooms in such a school will be a wastage of money if students as well as teachers are unable to use the system effectively. Also, deciding to implement computer aided learning for all subjects on a full-fledged basis will result in chaos only. As an alternative, computers and smart classrooms can be initially used to provide soft skill training to students. This way, they will get used to the machines and at the same time, parents and teachers won\u2019t have any difficulty in managing the learning process. Once the students get handy with the machines, teachers and parents will get convinced about the usefulness of the system and they will be happy to implement it for the main stream learning.\nI know I haven\u2019t covered all the related aspects in length. Even though I have met a lot of students, I still don\u2019t have the teaching experience in a conventional educational system to judge it or to change it. Please share your valuable viewpoints and questions on this topic and let us make this a fruitful discussion. Have a nice day.\nTags\t#classroom learning\t#disruptive learning\t#education\t#education in india\t#Learning\t#schools in india\t#teaching",

        "raw_content": "oil prices now 50% higher on OPEC / Russian freeze talk, record low rigs and record high oil stores again\nthis week's news is the same as last week's news was, since we beat the two records that we headlined last week's news with, albeit in a somewhat less spectacular fashion...US oil and gas drilling activity, which last week fell to a 150 year low through a reduction of the number of active rigs by 9, was even slower this week, as an additional 4 drilling rigs were idled...and we also added to our record levels of crude oil in storage, thus setting a new record for our oil inventories for the 5th week in a row, as we added another 1.3 million barrels to storage, again a bit less impressive than when we added a near record 10.4 million barrels to storage to set a new record two weeks ago...\notherwise, it was a rather slow week for news from the fracking patch, with little of the news meriting digging for any further details than are included in the links below...oil prices rose once again this week, with international prices topping $42 a barrel on Thursday, a high for 2016, on continuing reports that OPEC and Russia will be meeting in April in an attempt to freeze crude oil output at current levels...prices for US crude, which had closed last week at $38.50 a barrel, initially fell around 2 percent to close at $37.18 a barrel on Monday after Iran refused to join OPEC discussions until its own output reached the pre-embargo levels of 4 million barrels per day...oil prices then fell again to close at $36.34 a barrel on Tuesday, as traders focused on the expected increase in record oil inventories...global oil prices then rose on the Wednesday announcement that OPEC and other major oil producers would meet in Qatar on April 17 to discuss an oil production freeze, with US crude closing at $38.46 a barrel...prices then added to their gains on Thursday, as the Wall Street Journal reported that the Saudis were open to a freeze without Iran's participation, after which US prices approached $41 a barrel before falling back to close at $40.20, the first US close above $40 since December 4th....crude prices then fell from those highs to close at $39.44 a barrel on Friday after the release of the U.S oil rig count, which showed that despite prices that had been in the $30s, some drillers had even restarted idled oil rigs...to put that all in perspective, we'll include the weekend graph of oil prices over the last 3 months below..\nto explain once again, the above graph shows the daily closing contract price per barrel for April delivery of the US benchmark oil, West Texas Intermediate (WTI), as traded on the New York Mercantile Exchange over the last 3 months...since this graph references the current contract price for April, it doesn't show that when the March contract was the current contract, oil for March delivery had traded as low as $26.02 a barrel on February 11th, which was then the widely cited 13 year low price for oil....hence, at $39.44 a barrel, this weekend's oil price is up more than 50% from that low, partially on speculation that OPEC and Russia will make a deal, not even considering whether they will hold to what terms they might set....although i didn't see the press conference in question, a CNBC oil analyst characterized Saudi oil minister Ali al-Naimi as smirking when talking about such a deal...so whether it will come to pass is still seriously questionable, but the market participants still believe it enough to move the price, and al-Naimi is an old fox who knows how to play the media, so it's quite possible that between him and Russian oil minister Alexander Novak, who has also been speaking positively to the media about a possible deal, the two of them could talk the price of oil up to $50 a barrel without touching a drop of their oil output...\nas we mentioned in opening, US supplies of crude oil in storage rose to another new record this week, but less oil was added to storage than in previous weeks, because our imports fell back from the two year highs of recent weeks, while our own production of crude continued to slow slowly....this week's Energy Information Administration data showed that our field production of crude oil fell by 10,000 barrels per day to 9,067,000 barrels per day during the week ending March 11th, from 9,077,000 barrels per day during the week ending March 4th...that's now 3.7% below the 9,419 ,000 barrels per day we produced during the week ending March 13th last year, and the lowest our oil production has been since the 2nd week of November in 2014...\nmeanwhile, our imports of crude oil, the other major source of our domestic crude supply, fell to an average of 7,693,000 barrels per day during the week ending March 11th, dropping by 355,000 barrels per day from the average of 8,048,000 barrels per day we imported during the week ending March 4th and down by more than 7.2% from the 2 year high of 8,292,000 barrels per day that we imported during the week ending February 26th... however, that was still 2.6% more than the 7,496,000 barrels per day we were importing during the same week of last year, and our 4 week moving average of imports reported by the weekly Petroleum Status Report (62 pp pdf) is still nearly at the 8.0 million barrel per day level, 10.0% above the same four-week period last year...\nwhile our supply of crude was thus lower this week, refineries increased the amount they used again, as they processed 15,996,000 barrels per day during the week ending March 11th, 85,000 barrels per day more than the 15,911,000 barrels per day the were processing during the week ending ending March 4th, even though the US refinery utilization rate slipped to 89.0%, down from 89.1% during the week of the 4th..still, that was still the highest refinery capacity utilization rate for the 2nd week of March since 2005, so refineries are ahead of schedule on changing over to their summer blends...so we're thus using 3.6% more crude than the 15,436,000 barrels per day we were using during the week ending March 13th last year, when refineries were operating at 88.1% of capacity...\nwith more oil being refined, our refinery production of gasoline rose by 435,000 barrels per day to 10,015,000 barrels per day during week ending March 11th, up from the 9,580,000 barrels per day of gasoline we produced during week ending March 4th, and up 2.7% from the 9,754,000 barrel per day gasoline production we saw last year during the week ending March 13th, which had been, until this week, a record for March gasoline output....at the same time, our output of distillate fuels (ie, diesel fuel and heat oil) also rose, increasing by 37,000 barrels per day to 4,781,000 barrels per day during week ending the 11th, which was still a bit lower than our distillates production of 4,807,000 barrels per day during the same week of 2015...\nhowever, even with record levels of gasoline production production for any time in March, and a 151,000 barrel per day increase in gasoline imports to 716,000 barrels per day, we apparently still needed to draw gasoline our of storage to meet this week's demand, as our gasoline inventories fell by 747,000 barrels from last week's report to 249,716,000 barrels as of March 11th...now, that was still 6.1% higher than the 235,400,000 barrels of gasoline that we had stored at the same time last year, which was then the highest in years, and still what the EIA characterizes as \"well above the upper limit of the average range\" in the weekly Petroleum Status Report...but it's been a puzzle that we'd be drawing down our supplies now, that our gasoline production is hitting records, whereas as recently as 3 weeks ago we were still adding to those supplies with considerably less production; in fact, we had added to our gasoline supplies 14 weeks in a row until then, setting records for gasoline supplies each of the last 4 of those weeks...the next graph from the EIA goes a long way in explaining why that happened:\nthe above graph comes from \u201cThis Week in Petroleum \u2013 Gasoline Section\u201d published by the EIA on March 16th and it shows the 4 week average of US demand for gasoline in millions of barrels per day each week over the past year in blue, and over the preceding year in brown\u2026what you'll notice there is that our demand for gasoline, which had generally been running several hundred thousand barrels per day ahead of last year's, slipped below last year's demand in November, and then fell well below January 2015's demand in January 2016, at which time i endeavored to attempt to explain \"why our consumption of gasoline is falling\"...no sooner than the pixels were dry on that post than our demand for gasoline started rising again, and is now approaching 500 thousand barrels per day more than it was a year ago at this time...i have no special insight as to why this happened, but just thought pointing it out was necessary for anyone who had been puzzled by the shift in the gasoline storage metrics as i was...\nat any rate, our inventories of distillate fuels also fell, decreasing by 1,135,000 barrels end the week of March 11th with 161,343,000 barrels in storage.....but because of the unseasonably mild winter, the drawdown of heating oil has been much less than normal, and our stocks of distillates remained above the upper limit of the average range for this time of year, measuring 28.2% greater than the 125,883,000 barrels of distillates we had stored during the same week last year.. similarly, our inventories of other major petroleum products are also running above well their normal range; residual fuel inventories are at 45,274,000 barrels, 20.7% higher than the 37,495,000 barrels we had stored at the end of the 2nd week of March last year; jet fuel inventories, at 44,390,000 barrels, are 16.0% higher than the 38,240,000 barrels we had stored a year ago; and inventories of propane and propylene feedstocks are at 62,500,000 barrels, 15.1% higher than the 54,284,000 barrels we had stored at the end of the same week a year earlier...\nfinally, even with the lower imports and the pickup in refining, we still had 1,317,000 barrels of unused crude oil left over at the end of the week, and hence our stocks of crude oil in storage, not counting what's in the government's Strategic Petroleum Reserve, rose once again to a new record of 523,178,000 barrels as of March 11th, up from the record 521,861,000 barrels of oil we had stored on March 4th..that was 14.1% higher than the then record of 458,508,000 barrels of oil we had stored as of March 13th, 2015, and 39.2% higher than the 375,852,000 barrels of oil we had stored on March 14th 2014...so we've now increased our inventories of crude oil by 40.6 million barrels over the last 9 weeks, setting new records for the amount oil we had in storage in the US in 7 of them...\nas we mentioned, the past week also saw another net decrease in the number of rotary rigs actively drilling for oil and gas in the US, and that meant we had another record low for the rig count in the history of such records, and likely for the history of the oil and gas industry in the US...Baker Hughes reported that the total count of active rigs fell by 4 to 476 as of March 18th, as rigs targeting natural gas fell by 5 to 89, while the oil rig count rose by 1 to 387 in the first increase in oil rigs since December...those net totals were down from the 242 natural gas rigs, 825 oil rigs, and 2 miscellaneous rigs that were in use a year earlier, and well off the records of 1609 working oil rigs set on October 10, 2014 and the recent gas rig record of 1,606 that was set on August 29th, 2008...\nbreaking down the changes by type of rig, the week ending March 18th saw a net of 6 horizontal rigs stacked, leaving the count of horizontal rigs at 369, which was down from the 826 horizontal rigs that were in use the same week last year, and down from the recent record of 1372 horizontal rigs that were drilling on November 21st of 2014...at the same time, a single directional rig was also removed, dropping the directional rig count down to 49, which was down from the 92 directional rigs that were in use on March 20th of last year...meanwhile, a net of 3 vertical rigs were added, bringing the vertical rig count back up to 58, which was still down from the 148 vertical rigs that were in use the same week a year earlier...\nof the major shale basins, the Cana Woodford of Oklahoma was down 3 rigs to 34, which was down from the 40 rigs working that basin on March 20th last year...meanwhile, the Arkoma Woodford of Oklahoma, the Haynesville of Louisiana, the Mississippian of southwest Kansas and bordering states, the Utica of eastern Ohio and the Williston of North Dakota all saw single rig reductions; that left the Arkoma Woodford with 3 rigs running, down from 6 a year earlier, left the Haynesville with 14 rigs, down from 34 a year earlier, left the Mississippian with 7 rigs, down from the 44 rig drilling there last year at this time, left the Utica with 10 rigs, down from 30 a year ago, and left the Williston with 31 rigs, down from 99 a year earlier...at the same time, a net of two rigs were added in the Eagle Ford of southern Texas, where the rig count stood at 45 at the weekend, down from 138 a year earlier...\nhence, the state count tables also showed that Texas had added two rigs over the past week, and they now have 217 rigs deployed, which is still down from the 465 rigs that were working the state on March 20th last year\u2026at the same time, 2 rigs were pulled out of New Mexico, where 13 rigs remain, down from 53 a year earlier...the 4 states losing one rig each line up pretty well with the basin counts; the Kansas rig count was down 1 to 8, and down from 12 a year earlier; North Dakota was down 1

working a year earlier...\nAnother Ohio court slaps down anti-fracking \u2018bill of rights\u2019 - Another Ohio court case has gone against community activists seeking local restrictions on oil and gas drilling. The appeals court\u2019s decision in this Cuyahoga County civil case is especially noteworthy in that it directly addresses \u2013 and dismisses \u2013 the legal underpinnings of \u201ccommunity bill of rights\u201d laws that voters have passed in the city of Athens and other communities around the state. A similar anti-fracking \u201cbill of rights\u201d is part of a charter amendment that local fracking opponents hope to place on the Athens County ballot next November. In its decision in a case pitting Mothers Against Drilling in Our Neighborhoods (MADION) against the state of Ohio, Gov. John Kasich, the city of Broadview Heights and two oil and gas businesses, the Eighth District Court of Appeals voted 3-0 to uphold a Cuyahoga County trial court\u2019s dismissal in July 2015 of a complaint brought by MADION. The local activist group, part of a statewide network of community organizers and supported by the Pennsylvania-based Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund (CELDF), had asked the court to uphold an anti-drilling bill of rights that voters passed in Cleveland suburb of Broadview Heights in November 2012. In the main opinion in the Eighth District Court of Appeals decision of March 3, two of the appellate judges cite the majority decision in the Supreme Court\u2019s Morrison (Munroe Falls) vs. Beck Energy Corp. decision from February 2015. That high-court ruling, based on ORC 1509, upheld the primacy of state law in oil and gas regulation, generally finding that what the state allows, in this case oil and gas development activities, local government and voters can\u2019t prohibit. However, in its March 3 decision, the appellate court also addressed MADION\u2019s claims regarding local community rights. The anti-fracking group had argued that the Morrison case cited as a precedent only addressed home-rule powers of \u201cmunicipal corporations,\u201d which \u201care distinct and apart from the people\u2019s inalienable and fundamental right to local community self-government.\u201d The appellate court decision, however, notes that \u201cwhile MADION concedes that there is no case law to support its position, it maintains that the people\u2019s right to local community self-government is deeply rooted in our nation\u2019s history and tradition.\u201d\nBill of Rights group hopes to get charter on November ballot - The Athens Bill of Rights Committee will be back in action this week to collect signatures to again try to get a charter ballot initiative on the November ballot. The measure would ban injection wells and use of the county\u2019s water supplies in the practice of hydraulic fracturing. The group had submitted a ballot initiative to the county elections board last year, but Secretary of State Jon Husted rejected the petitions. The matter was sent to Husted for consideration because of a protest filed by Joanne Prisley of Athens. The matter was then considered by the Ohio Supreme Court, which ruled that Husted shouldn\u2019t be forced to put the issue on the ballot. One of Husted\u2019s reasons for disqualifying the proposed charter from the ballot was that it did not meet a threshold requirement for charter initiatives because it did not create an alternative form of government. Husted also had rejected the charter petition on grounds that the charter unconstitutionally interfered with the state\u2019s exclusive authority to regulate oil and gas operations. The Supreme Court ruled that Husted lacked authority to invalidate the petitions for that reason. Now the Bill of Rights Committee is back with a revised charter initiative. Committee Chairman Dick McGinn said that the new version actually specifies the structure of the county government and allows for a charter review process. He said the language doesn\u2019t actually change how the county government currently functions. What the language does do is make it unlawful for any corporation or government to \u201cdeposit, store, treat, inject, dispose of, transport or process wastewater, produced water, \u2018frack\u2019 water, brine or other substances, chemicals or by-products that have been used in, or result from, the unconventional extraction of gas and oil, including but not limited to high volume hydraulic fracturing, acidification and other techniques on or into the land, air or waters of the county of Athens.\u201d\nMedina, Portage counties seek community bill of rights votes - Grass-roots groups in Medina and Portage counties are trying to get community bill of rights charters approved by voters on Nov. 8. Sustainable Medina County is circulating petitions to put the issue before voters in a grass-roots campaign to block the Nexus natural gas pipeline and a pipeline compressor station west of Wadsworth in Guilford Township. The current structure of Medina County government would remain intact under the proposed charter, but the charter would give the county\u2019s elected officials the authority to protect residents from \u201ccorporate harm.\u201d In addition, the people\u2019s right to initiative and referendum would be codified under the plan to give them more control. It is the second time that such an effort has been undertaken in Medina County. \u201cThis charter will empower the people of our county to say no to Nexus and its threats to the health and safety of our families and the environment,\u201d said spokeswoman Kathie Jones of Wadsworth Township. The goal is to give the people a voice in whether the pipeline project across northern Ohio is in the best interest of Medina County and whether local residents are willing to expose their families and neighborhoods to the risk, she said. The $2 billion pipeline project running through Medina, Wayne, Summit and Stark counties needs approval from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. In order to block the pipeline, Medina County\u2019s community bill of rights would have to be approved by voters and go into effect before the pipeline wins federal approval, expected in late 2016. The major concern in Portage County is injection wells for drilling wastes that threaten drinking water and the goal is \u201cto legitimize democracy,\u201d said Gwen Fischer of Hiram, a spokeswoman for the Portage Community Rights Group.The new petition-signing efforts got under way this week and are among five community bill of rights efforts under way in Ohio to protect communities from drilling. Similar initiative have begun in Athens County plus in the cities of Columbus and Youngstown.\nAttorney general joins investigations into illegal dumping of radioactive waste -- Kentucky Attorney General Andy Beshear announced Wednesday that his office is investigating radioactive waste disposal in landfills in Boyd and Estill counties. \u201cI am deeply troubled by allegations involving the transporting and illegal disposal of radioactive waste in Boyd and Estill counties,\u201d Beshear said in a statement. \u201cAs attorney general, protecting Kentucky families is my top priority, so I am particularly troubled that the Blue Ridge Landfill in Irvine allegedly containing these hazardous materials is located across the road from two schools. To the concerned parents in the community, I promise we are giving this investigation our full attention, and we share your concerns.\u201d Beshear said his office is working closely with the Cabinet for Health and Family Services, and other state, local and federal officials. Landfills in Estill and Boyd counties were cited last week for accepting low-level radioactive waste, according to the Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet. The Estill County landfill is across the road from the county\u2019s only high school and middle school. Advanced Disposal Services Blue Ridge Landfill Inc. in Estill County and Green Valley Landfill General Partnership in Boyd County each received a notice of violations from the cabinet. Blue Ridge Landfill was accused of using inaccurate reporting in a quarterly report, disposing of unpermitted waste and failure to document the source of radioactive waste, according to the cabinet.\nDimock Fracking Water Pollution Case Rains More Pain On Oil And Gas Industry : After six years and many reams of legal papers, two couples have just won a rare \u2014 and huge \u2014 $4.24 million jury verdict against a fracking company. The jury agreed with the evidence that Houston-based Cabot Oil & Gas Corp. contaminated their water wells in Dimock, Pennsylvania, with methane leaching underground from natural gas fracking sites. The case is significant because the two couples fought in court rather than go the usual route in fracking water pollution cases, which consists of reaching a financial settlement conditional on consenting to a gag order. The gag order practice has been known to impose a lifelong vow of silence on children as young as 7 and 10, and along with trade secrets protection it is one of the reasons why fracking critics and regulatory agencies have had quite a bit of difficulty assembling a complete picture of the risks and impacts of fracking on the nation\u2019s water resources. Our friends over at DeSmogBlog have been tracking the Dimock fracking case closely: The case, Ely v. Cabot Oil and Gas Corp., is especially noteworthy because most of the 44 original plaintiffs in the case signed settlement agreements that included a \u201cnon-disparagement clause\u201d that bars them from speaking about their experiences or the role that Cabot may have played in causing water in the region to become polluted\u2026 According to DeSmogBlog, a big breakthrough in the case occurred when the court granted permission to testify for other nearby homeowners who had signed the gag order with Cabot. The Associated Press has also been doing some notable reporting on the impacts of fracking. An account of the new $4.24 million verdict by Michael Rubinkam describes Cabot\u2019s argument, that the \u201cmethane was naturally occurring\u201d and predated the fracking operation. That argument highlights one of the critical obstacles for bringing a water pollution case against fracking operations. At the time of the drilling, state regulations in Pennsylvania and elsewhere did not require drillers to benchmark water quality in nearby wells, leaving those impacted without the benefit of a before-and-after comparison.\nDimock Water Contamination Verdict Prompts Calls for Federal Action on Fracking: Last week, in a historic verdict, a Pennsylvania jury awarded $4.24 million to two families in Dimock, PA who sued a shale gas driller, Cabot Oil and Gas Corp., over negligent drilling that contaminated their drinking water supplies. Dimock has for years been one the nation's highest-profile cases where shale gas drilling and fracking was suspected to have contaminated water, a claim the oil and gas industry strenuously denied. Controversy over the water quality swirled as state and federal regulators repeatedly flip-flopped over who was responsible for the water contamination \u2014 and whether the water might even be safe to drink. For years, Cabot Oil and Gas has maintained that the problems with the water were simply cosmetic or aesthetic, and that even if the water was not good, their operations in the area had nothing to do with it. The federal jury's verdict last Thursday represents a legal conclusion that the water was in fact contaminated because of the negligence of the drilling company \u2014 no small matter for those who spent years living in a deeply fractured community where emotions over the shale rush have run high and pitted neighbor against neighbor. The verdict also has broader ramifications for the national debate over shale drilling and water contamination.The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is currently reviewing the risks to American drinking water supplies from unconventional oil and gas drilling and fracking. And while the Ely v. Cabot case did not center directly on hydraulic fracturing, the wells surrounding the Ely property suspected of causing the contamination were mostly fracked shale gas wells. The jury's newly announced verdict in the case has community advocates in the region calling for EPA to reopen its investigation into the broader problems in Dimock and the broader region \u2014 and to include Cabot's negligence in contaminating Dimock's water in its national study of the potential for drilling and fracking to contaminate American drinking water supplies.\nEfforts under way to find abandoned Pa. gas, oil wells - Officials estimate as many as 200,000 abandoned gas and oil wells dating to the 1860s dot the state's landscape, many uncataloged with no surviving record of ownership. Most are conventional vertical wells drilled before unconventional drilling took off in the shale play during the past decade, and before regulations required better reporting. Abandoned and unmapped wells pose dangers to people living or working nearby, especially shale drillers. Crews fracking wells have come into contact \u2014 or \u201ccommunicated,\u201d in engineering parlance \u2014 with abandoned wells, causing liquids and gas to shoot from the surface. Numerous efforts among federal, state, university and industry groups are under way to locate, map, assess and plug the wells. The challenge of finding them \u2014 combined with the high cost of plugging them \u2014 threatens to slow the push. When the drilling industry was most active, permit surcharges flowed, allowing hundreds of plugging operations a year, Pelepko said. Thirty-three were plugged last year, though, as drilling slowed. Depending on the depth of an oil or gas well and other factors, plugging it safely costs $5,000 to $200,000, DEP said. A well that poses an immediate risk to nearby structures or people will be plugged quickly, Pelepko said. Otherwise, the wells are ranked and addressed in order of need. Less known is the risk abandoned wells pose to air and water from escaping methane. The EPA does not include the wells in its annual inventory of emissions sources.\nIn Drive to Deflate Natural Gas Surplus, US Pounces on Canada -- U.S. gas drillers battered by the lowest prices in 17 years have found another release valve for their output: Canada. Over the past five years, the shale boom that unlocked vast supplies of natural gas across North America has tripled pipeline shipments from the U.S. to Mexico, and spurred the first seaborne exports from the lower 48 states. Now, pipeline companies led by Spectra Energy Corp., TransCanada Corp. and Energy Transfer Partners LP are gearing up to more than double the flow into Canada by 2027. The push begins next year, with plans to open or expand at least three major pipelines and reverse the flow northward on a fourth. Meanwhile, TransCanada may be going a step further, engaging in acquisition talks with Columbia Pipeline Group Inc., a company with a direct route into the U.S.\u2019s prolific Marcellus shale play. The efforts come as gas stockpiles have reached historic highs, prices have fallen almost 40 percent since the end of 2011 and the fuel has established itself as the Bloomberg Commodity Index\u2019s worst performer. All of that has spurred a desperate drive by drillers to expand their markets. \u201cThere\u2019s so much supply growth in the eastern U.S. that producers are seeking any and all outlets to get the gas to market,\u201d . \u201cIt\u2019s another obstacle for Canadian producers.\u201d Home-grown Canadian drillers such as Calgary-based Birchcliff Energy Ltd. and Encana Corp., are already feeling the heat. Nine years ago, supplies piped from Canada met 16 percent of U.S. demand for natural gas. By 2014, as U.S. output rose to a record for a fourth straight year, Canadian supplies had slipped under 10 percent. Some Canadian producers will hurt more than others. Those who keep their costs down and sell to markets that don\u2019t vie with supplies from the eastern U.S. will remain competitive, . Meanwhile Encana, one of Canada\u2019s largest gas producers, has said it was cutting spending this year by 55 percent amid the slide in oil and gas prices. The company is also reducing its workforce another 20 percent, which means that Encana will have more than halved its number of employees and contractors since 2013.\nTransCanada to buy Columbia Pipeline Group for $9.92 billion(AP) \u2014 TransCanada Corp., the Canadian company behind the Keystone XL pipeline, has agreed to buy Columbia Pipeline Group for nearly $10 billion as it expands in the U.S. Houston-based Columbia Pipeline owns 15,000 miles of interstate natural gas pipelines that extends from New York to the Gulf of Mexico. With the acquisition, TransCanada will have about 57,000 miles of pipeline in North America. The acquisition comes after President Barack Obama in November quashed the Keystone XL after seven years of political wrangling, saying it would have undercut U.S. efforts to clinch a global climate change deal at the center of his environmental legacy.\nSouth America Emerging as Market for U.S. LNG. - Lately, it\u2019s not just liquefied natural gas (LNG) prices that are headed south, it\u2019s LNG cargoes too. A few days ago, the first LNG shipment from Cheniere Energy\u2019s Sabine Pass liquefaction/export terminal was sent to Brazil, where a drought has slashed hydroelectric production and boosted the need for natural gas-fired power. Today we consider what\u2019s driving LNG and natural gas demand in Brazil, Argentina and other countries in the southern half of the Americas, and what that may mean for U.S. LNG exporters and gas producers. Given the impact that LNG exports are expected to have on U.S. natural gas production over the next 15 to 20 years, it\u2019s not surprising that the recent buzz about the destination of the initial LNG shipment from Sabine Pass in southwestern Louisiana rivaled interest in Kanye West\u2019s self-promotional feud with Taylor Swift (well, almost). As we all know, the Kanye vs. Taylor brouhaha continues, and\u2014more relevant to today\u2019s blog\u2014Chevron Transport\u2019s 160,000 cubic meter Asia Vision LNG tanker left Sabine Pass on February 24, 2016 (see Commencing Countdown) and is, by now approaching the Salvador da Bahia Regasification Terminal (photo below), a floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) moored at Ba\u00eda de Todos os Santos (Bay of All Saints) at Salvador, in Brazil\u2019s state of Bahia. (Golar LNG Partners owns the FSRU, which is also known as Golar Winter; Petroleo Brasileiro\u2014Brazil\u2019s state-owned energy company, also known as Petrobras\u2014charters it.)\nGo West, Young Molecule \u2013 Natural Gas Flows on REX\u2019s Zone 3 East-to-West Expansion -- Tallgrass Energy\u2019s Rockies Express Pipeline (REX) last week received final approval to begin construction on its Zone 3 Capacity Enhancement expansion project (Z3CE), which would expand east-to-west capacity out of the Marcellus/Utica shale production area to a record 2.6 Bcf/d. This project comes on the heels of REX\u2019s East-to-West expansion (E2W), which came online last August and in one fell swoop gave Northeast producers their first substantial westbound firm forward-haul transportation capacity, totaling a full 1.8 Bcf/d. The upcoming Z3CE capacity (0.8 Bcf/d) will mark yet another milestone in the Great Pipeline Reversal that\u2019s expected to ease supply congestion in the Northeast and support beleaguered Marcellus/Utica pricing points. That new capacity is not due in-service until late 2016. But now with nearly a full winter\u2019s worth of pipeline flow data for the first E2W expansion, we can get a preview of potential impacts of the additional capacity on flows and pricing. Today we look at winter-to-date gas flows on REX and what they tell us about the Marcellus/Utica market.\nVirginia lawmakers back natural gas pipeline \u2014 (AP) \u2014 A coalition of Hampton Roads state legislators is lining up behind the Atlantic Coast Pipeline. The 33 members of the General Assembly collectively known as the Hampton Roads Caucus expressed their backing for the massive natural gas project in a letter to Virginia\u2019s U.S. senators, Democrats Mark Warner and Tim Kaine. The pipeline would deliver natural gas from West Virginia and through Virginia and into North Carolina, covering more than 550 miles. The $5 billion energy project is backed by Dominion Resources and other energy companies. In the letter, the caucus says the region\u2019s natural gas transportation system has \u201creached a tipping point.\u201d Members describe the pipeline as necessary for the region\u2019s economy. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is reviewing the project.\nPushed hard by opponents, Obama administration reverses, says no new drilling off SE Atlantic Coast: \u201cBack in January 2015, the Obama administration pleased oil companies and kindled fierce opposition when it announced the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management\u2019s five-year plan for offshore oil development off the southeast Atlantic Coast. Tuesday, Secretary of Interior Sally Jewell announced a surprising retreat:\"We heard from many corners that now is not the time to offer oil and gas leasing off the Atlantic coast,\" Interior Secretary Sally Jewell said. \"When you factor in conflicts with national defense, economic activities such as fishing and tourism, and opposition from many local communities, it simply doesn't make sense to move forward with any lease sales in the coming five years.\" \"With this decision coastal communities have won a 'David vs. Goliath' fight against the richest companies on the planet, and that is a cause for tremendous optimism for the well-being of future generations,\" said Jacqueline Savitz, environmental group Oceana's vice president for U.S. oceans. At the same time the department announced that 10 potential lease sales in the Gulf of Mexico and three off the Alaskan coast would be evaluated. The area off the southeast coast is estimated to have at least 3.3 billion barrels of recoverable oil 31.3 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. Even though governors and other leaders in Virginia, North and South Carolina, and Georgia supported drilling off their coasts, opposition\nBrevard County approves fracking ban: Brevard County commissioners voted unanimously Tuesday to ban fracking within the county's borders. Under the ordinance, oil and gas exploration or production that uses \"well stimulation\" will be prohibited in Brevard, \"including hydraulic fracturing, acidizing and acid fracturing.\" The ordinance also bans any well stimulation techniques originating outside Brevard \"that in any way enters onto, into or under the ground within the boundaries of Brevard County.\" Speakers warned commissioners of the potential for water and air pollution, accidents, spills and methane leaks. Fracking is a controversial method of extracting oil and gas from deep underground. The drilling method involves injecting water, sand and chemicals underground to create fractures in rock formations, allowing natural gas and oil to be released. The process uses chemicals that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lists as cancer-causing or which could otherwise pose a public health risk. On March 1, commissioners had unanimously passed a resolution opposing a Florida Senate bill that opponents of fracking fear would clear the way for the process in Florida. Senate Bill 318 died earlier this month in committee, but legislators have vowed to reconsider the bill in the future. Among Florida Senate Bill 318's most-controversial provisions was that it would have allowed only the state \u2014 and not counties or cities \u2014 to impose a ban on fracking.\nCourt Decision Could Accelerate Oil And Gas Bankruptcies -- Oil and gas data experts Evaluate Energy showed yesterday that U.S. E&Ps took a huge hit in 2015. With the value of total proved reserves in the sector declining by an astounding $515 billion dollars. The chart below shows just how great the damage is, compared to reserves valuations the last few years. Factors like that have caused an increasing number of high-profile E&Ps to file for bankruptcy in America. And a critical court decision this week could mean even more coming. That ruling came Tuesday in the bankruptcy proceedings of Sabine Oil & Gas, detailed by Energy Law360. Where a New York judge ruled that bankruptcy allows Sabine to cancel contracts it holds with midstream firms on the company\u2019s petroleum licenses in Texas. Here\u2019s why this is a sea change for oil and gas law. Sabine held three separate contracts with pipeline firms in Texas, for the transport and sale of oil and gas that the company produced. These contracts came with clauses like \u201cdeliver or pay\u201d features \u2014 where Sabine was obligated to send minimum volumes of production through the pipeline, or pay financial penalties to the pipeline operators. Such contracts could have been a stumbling block in bankruptcy \u2014 requiring the company to deliver production or cash at a time when its operations have slowed or stopped. And so Sabine had challenged in bankruptcy court to have the agreements nixed. And the judge in the case agreed. Ruling that the midstream contracts are not \u201crunning with the land\u201d \u2014 in essence, saying that the contracts are not inextricably tied to the land assets that underlie Sabine. The decision opens the door for Sabine to sever the contracts as it restructures in bankruptcy. A strategy that other E&Ps immediately jumped on \u2014 with bankrupt producer Magnum Hunter Resources yesterday striking a deal to cancel four midstream contracts as it restructures.\nPipeline officials work to contain gas spill in Sioux City (AP) \u2014 Iowa Department of Natural Resources officials say a pipeline company is working to contain a gasoline spill in Sioux City that reached a drainage ditch. Magellan Pipeline officials reported the spill Friday morning after finding a leaking pipe between tanks at their Sioux City bulk petroleum facility. They estimate that nearly 30,000 gallons of gasoline was released. It is unknown how long the pipe leaked. The company contained the spill before it could reach the Floyd River, but some fuel soaked into the ground and flowed into a tributary of the river. Magellan plans to excavate the contaminated soil. The company has set up booms to recover gas that spilled into a creek.\nProposed waste site in Nordheim sits over natural gas pipeline - -- Residents of the small DeWitt County town of Nordheim have been putting up a big fight for more than 3 years.They're trying to stop the approval of a permit application for a fracking solid waste disposal site, that if approved will be built directly over a natural gas pipeline.\"The disposal cell they want to put in is approximately 200 feet from my back porch and 240 feet from my water well,\" said Nordheim rancher Paul Baumann.It is too close for comfort for Baumann.If Pyote's permit is approved by the Railroad Commission, Petro Waste Environmental will construct and operate a waste treatment facility where much of the oil and gas solid waste from fracking sites all over the Eagleford Shale will be disposed.\"Let me go back to where I heard they've said, it's an ideal location for this type of facility. It's far from ideal,\" said environmental engineer Ed Von Dran.Von Dran, who has been hired by the Citizens Against Pollution group as a consultant, said the fact that the site is elevated won't be good for drainage.He also said the fact that it sits on top of a natural gas pipeline presents another set of issues.\"It's not structured to allow for trucks to be driven over it daily,\" Von Dran said.On the proposed plan, a Southcross Energy pipeline runs diagonally across the property.Petro Waste Environmental CEO, George Wommack confirms if the plan is approved, they will be driving trucks across the pipeline easement on a regular basis.\"You start driving these big trucks and heavy equipment around it, it's gonna shift,\" Baumann said.\nWill Oklahoma Fracking Induce \"The Big One\"? - The \u201cearthquake capital\u201d title is one that Oklahoma\u2019s state geologist, for his part, says the state doesn\u2019t deserve. \u201cWe\u2019re not the earthquake capital of the U.S.,\u201d said Gerry Boak, director of the Oklahoma Geological Survey. If anything, he said, \u201cwe\u2019re the minor league capital of the U.S.\u201d Most of the Oklahoma quakes registered in 2015 were below 4.0-magnitude. Alaska registered a 7.1-magnitude earthquake in January \u2014roughly equal to 1 million 3.1- magnitude quakes. That one quake alone was more powerful than all of Oklahoma\u2019s earthquakes from last year combined, Boak says. California, too, tends to see more large (over 5.0-magnitude) quakes than Oklahoma, and seismic activity is spread throughout the state. In Oklahoma, the activity is concentrated in only about 16% of the state. That\u2019s no coincidence: areas where quakes are happening are the same ones that have seen a boom in oil and gas production. Oklahoma may not be the earthquake capital, but Boak says, when it comes to earthquakes that have been induced by human activity, \u201cthere\u2019s no place that can match Oklahoma.\u201d The state is the largest example of induced seismicity in the U.S., probably the world. A recent post over at the data visualization site Metrocosm includes two graphics that bear out the connection. Here is a map showing the region where most of Oklahoma\u2019s oil and gas production happens. All of Oklahoma\u2019s injection wells, each one sized proportional to its annual injection volume. And here\u2019s an animated graphic showing quakes over 3.0-magnitude since 2010 with that same area of Oklahoma outlined. Watch what happens in 2014 and 2015:\nFracking ballot initiative gets state OK for petition drive (AP) \u2014 Backers of a proposal that would let local governments regulate or ban fracking have won approval to circulate petitions to put it before voters. The (Colorado) Secretary of State\u2019s Office said Thursday supporters have until Aug. 8 to gather more than 98,000 signatures. If they succeed, voters would approve or reject the proposal in the Nov. 8 general election. The proposal would amend the state constitution to give cities and counties more power to regulate environmental issues, including oil and gas development. It\u2019s called Initiative 40. At least three other proposals that could limit oil and gas drilling are awaiting approval from elections officials before proponents can gather signatures.\nIdaho oil and gas commission starts rulemaking process (AP) \u2014 The Idaho Oil and Gas Conservation Commission on Thursday began the process of writing new rules for the oil and gas industry with input from the public under a new law aimed at speeding up energy production. The commission on a 4-0 vote set in motion a process known as negotiated rulemaking that will take months and is needed to align current rules with an industry-backed bill signed into law by Gov. C.L. \u201cButch\u201d Otter on Wednesday. The new law makes the Idaho Department of Lands responsible for initial drilling decisions and the five appointed members of the commission more of an appellate body that approves or reverses those decisions. After the meeting, commission chairman Chris Beck said the change means experts will handle technical aspects and \u201cwe\u2019ll be given the opportunity to make a decision if someone appeals it, and I think that\u2019s appropriate.\u201d Commissioners also voted 3-1 to approve a plan that outlines the overall strategy for the commission, which was formed in 2013.\nNorth Dakota Oil Production Drops for Second Month - WSJ --North Dakota on Friday said crude-oil production fell 2.65% in January to the lowest level in 18 months, reflecting a sharp drop in prices, as the number of drilling rigs active in the state fell to the lowest level in more than a decade. Oil production in January, the latest data available, fell to 1.12 million barrels a day, down from 1.15 million barrels a day the previous month, according to the North Dakota Department of Mineral Resources. That was the lowest level since the 1.11 million barrels a day produced in July 2014, and a second straight month of declines. \u201cWe\u2019re losing altitude pretty rapidly,\u201d North Dakota Department of Mineral Resources Director Lynn Helms said at a news conference in Bismarck. \u201cFebruary and March production declines could be equal to or greater than what we\u2019ve seen in December and January,\u201d he said. After remaining resilient in the face of lower crude prices for much of last year, crude output in the state\u2019s Bakken Shale formation has begun to drift down toward the million-barrel-a-day mark as operators cut the number of new wells drilled.\nEagle Ford, Bakken production continues to drop \u2014 Two of the nation\u2019s most-prolific shale plays continue to see production numbers drop slightly. The Eagle Ford Shale and Bakken formation produced less oil in January than in December, according to analytics and consulting group Platts Bentek. In fact, oil production from both Eagle Ford and Bakken formations reached their lowest levels since Platts Bentek started tracking them in October 2012. Eagle Ford production dropped by nearly 11,000 barrels per day in January. The shale play averaged a total of 1.4 million barrels per day. The Bakken produced 1.2 million barrels per day \u2014 a 3 percent decline from 2015 levels. An estimated 1,022 wells in the Eagle Ford Shale and 831 in the Bakken have been drilled, but not completed. Wells drilled after October 2015 were not included in the figure. Companies typically wait to hydraulically fracture existing wells in a better price environment. West Texas Intermediate, a grade of crude oil used as a benchmark in oil pricing, closed at $37.18 per barrel on Monday. In June 2014, a barrel of oil sold for $107. \u201cCurrent internal rates of return in both the Eagle Ford and Bakken shales are weak, under 10 percent,\u201d Platts Bentek analyst Sami Yahya said. \u201cAnd producers need to continue generating cash flow for their operations. The number of active rigs in those basins has gotten so low that it is almost a certainty that producers are dipping into their inventory of drilled but uncompleted wells.\u201d Existing wells are cheaper to complete because there are no additional drilling costs.\nSlow Train Coming \u2013 The Decline and Fall of East Coast Crude By Rail -- If East Coast refiners bought their crude at the wellhead in North Dakota during February 2016 they would have paid average prices of about $4.90/Bbl below U.S. Benchmark West Texas Intermediate (WTI) at Cushing, OK \u2013 which works out at about $26.25/Bbl (price estimates from Genscape). If they shipped that crude by rail to refineries in Philadelphia, PA on the East Coast they would have paid about $14/Bbl rail freight - meaning the delivered cost of crude would be $26.25 + $14 or $40.25/Bbl. Alternatively they could have simply imported Bakken equivalent light sweet crude priced close to international benchmark Brent for an average $34/Bbl \u2013 saving a minimum of $6.25/Bbl. Today we describe how these economics have had a detrimental impact on crude-by-rail (CBR) shipments to the East Coast.\nCargo ship leaks unknown amount of oil in LA Harbor \u2014 Cleanup efforts are under way after a large cargo ship leaked an unknown amount of oil in Los Angeles Harbor. The Coast Guard says the leak was reported Sunday evening, where an oily sheen was visible near the vessel Istra Ace. Officials didn\u2019t immediately know Monday how much fuel entered the water. Los Angeles Fire Department spokeswoman Margaret Stewart said late Sunday that the leak had stopped and a private cleanup company placed booms in the water to contain the oil. The Coast Guard, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Los Angeles Port Police and fire officials are investigating the leak.\nAlaska included in future offshore lease sale schedule (AP) \u2014 The Obama administration\u2019s five-year offshore drilling plan announced Tuesday includes three future lease sales off Alaska and six areas in state waters that will be closely reviewed for possible environmental and other conflicts with oil and gas activities. The plan by Interior Secretary Sally Jewell covers all potential federal offshore lease sales from 2017 through 2022. The public will have 90 days to comment. Most of the attention at Jewell\u2019s news conference was directed at the elimination of potential drilling off the Atlantic Coast. Environmental groups were hoping there would be no lease sales in Arctic waters. The plan for Alaska includes potential sales in the Beaufort Sea in 2020, Cook Inlet in 2021, and Chukchi Sea in 2022. It calls for close review of a handful of areas important to migrating beluga, bowhead and gray whales and possible protections for hunting areas used by villages sprinkled along Alaska\u2019s north coast.Cindy Shogun, director of the Alaska Wilderness League, said her group was disappointed that Arctic sites remain in the plan but appreciate that the locations could receive additional protection. \u201cWith the high risk of a large oil spill, drilling in America\u2019s Arctic is irresponsible and risky,\u201d she said in a prepared statement.\nThe Terrible Oil News Nobody Noticed - A terrible bit of news went unnoticed in the commotion amid the modest rebound in oil prices over the past two weeks. While every news outlet shouted about Iran and OPEC, a U.S. energy icon quietly announced news that could potentially shatter the industry. As I\u2019ve explained recently, many oil companies are teetering on the brink of bankruptcy. But news out of Alaska could lead to disaster. BP Prudhoe Bay Royalty Trust (BPT) \u2013 operated by the Alaskan division of oil giant British Petroleum (BP) \u2013 sells oil from the Prudhoe Bay oilfield. It just announced a 65% drop in its economic oil reserves. From 1968 to 2015, Prudhoe Bay was the most prolific oilfield in the country, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). Even though an oilfield can hold a tremendous amount of oil, only some of that oil is profitable at certain prices. Those barrels are called economic reserves. And that\u2019s where the problem lies. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission requires publicly traded oil companies to calculate economic reserves using an average oil price from the previous year. Here\u2019s what BP Prudhoe Bay Royalty Trust\u2019s price and reserve calculation look like\u2026Prudhoe Bay is a giant legacy field, with a vast network of pipes and wells already in place. So production costs are lower there than in most shale fields. So if Prudhoe Bay\u2019s economic reserves fall 65%, the rest of the industry is in big trouble.\nTurning to frack tech, stricken U.S. oil drillers test new limits - (Reuters) - Fifty-stage frack jobs. Fifteen-foot cluster spacing. More than 2,000 pounds of proppant concentrate per foot. Top U.S. shale producers are pushing fracking technology to new extremes to get more oil out of their wells, as they weather lower-for-longer oil prices. While the impact of the techniques may be scarcely noticeable on current U.S. output with so few wells in operation, it could mean drillers are able to accelerate production more fiercely than ever once prices recover. The hunt for the next big technology to transform the process of fracking is still on, with companies looking at methods such as using carbon dioxide to coax more oil out of wells that have already been hydraulically fractured. Commentary from executives in recent weeks suggests they are doubling down on existing accomplishments and innovations to boost production. Pioneer Natural Resources is increasing the length of stages in its wells, Hess Corp is raising the total number of stages, EOG Resources is drilling in extremely tight windows, while Whiting Petroleum Corp and Devon Energy Corp have loaded up more sand in their wells, fourth-quarter earnings call comments show. Sector experts say these techniques could boost initial output per well by between 5 and 50 percent, demonstrating the resilience of the industry.\nMany Shale Companies Are Unable to Ramp Up Oil Output - WSJ: The U.S. was supposed to be the world\u2019s new swing oil producer, able to nimbly open and close the taps in response to market forces, thanks to its bounty of shale fields. But as oil prices show some signs of stabilizing, American producers and oilfield-services companies are warning that they may not be able to jump-start drilling. The reason: Many independent companies are too financially strapped, have let go too many workers, or have idled too much equipment to immediately ramp up again. \u201cThe balance sheets of these shale-only producers have to be repaired for them to get back to drilling,\u201d said John Hess, the chief executive of Hess Corp. HES 0.42 % \u201cThat\u2019s going to curb any recovery.\u201d Just as U.S. output fell more slowly than predicted\u2014even as oil plunged from around $100 a barrel in 2014 to $30\u2014it is likely to be slower in recuperating, even if prices rebound to $50 a barrel or more, some oil executives and analysts now say. More than three dozen U.S. oil and gas producers plan to cut their capital spending for 2016 by nearly half, on average, compared with last year, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of company financial filings. Some of the largest U.S. oilfield-services firms have laid off 110,000 people in the past year, Evercore ISI analysts estimate, and many of those workers have no plans to return to the industry. Close to 60% of the fracking equipment in the U.S. has been idled during the downturn, according to IHS Energy, which estimates it would take two months for some of that equipment to return.\nShale Sector Hampered in Role of Swing Producer \u2014 American oil producers and oilfield-services companies are warning that they may not be able to jump-start drilling despite their bounty of shale fields, Alison Sider, et al report. Many independent companies are too financially strapped, have let go too many workers or have idled too much equipment to immediately ramp up again. Some shale drillers are tempered by what occurred last spring, when producers jumped back into drilling new wells after oil prices briefly rose, inadvertently worsening a supply glut that ultimately made prices worse. \u201cWe have lost a lot of good people. They won\u2019t be back,\u201d Meanwhile, hedge funds that own poorly performing high-yield debt issued by energy producers such as Continental Resources Inc. and Chesapeake Energy Corp. have been shorting the market as a way to hedge against further declines in the bonds, Christian Berthelsen reports. The paradoxical result is that these big investors are betting against themselves. Big oil producers have been negotiating for weeks on a deal to limit crude production in the hope of raising prices, but their talks are hitting obstacles, Benoit Faucon and Summer Said report. Separately, India wants to attract $25 billion in natural-gas and crude investment through reforms in the next few years, the Financial Times reports.\nIs Fracking Industry Too Wounded to Respond as Oil Prices Bottom Out? - Eventually what goes down, must come up. And to the relief of everyone in the oil industry, the global energy watchdog, the International Energy Agency (IEA) believes that there are signs that oil prices \u201cmight have bottomed out.\u201d The oil price is certainly showing signs of recovery. Indeed, in its latest monthly report, the IEA notes that oil prices have risen by a whopping forty percent since early February. But as the OilPrice website notes, much of this rise has nothing to do with the fundamentals of the oil market\u2014supply and demand\u2014it is due to the fact that speculators believe the price could go no further down. Whether this recent rise is actually good for the oil industry is open to debate. Some analysts believe that the rise could become \u201cself-defeating\u201d as it will allow some American shale producers to ramp up production, after moth-balling certain operations due to the price plunge. One such analyst Jeffrey Currie, the head of commodities research at Goldman Sachs, argues\u201cMy concern is if the market surges right back to $50 a barrel \u2026 we just end up with another problem six months from now.\u201d But whether the U.S. shale industry can just crank up production and act as what is known as a \u201cswing producer,\u201d is now open to debate. Restarting production overnight is just not going to happen. The shale industry may have cut itself too close to the bone to be able to start running again. The industry has shed more than 100,000 jobs in the last year and these cannot be replaced at a click of the fingers. Some 60 percent of fracking equipment is idle or offsite. Alex Beeker, a Wood Mackenzie analyst says simply: a recovery \u201cdoesn\u2019t happen overnight.\u201d Others agree. According to today\u2019s Wall Street Journal \u201cAs oil prices show some signs of stabilizing, American producers and oilfield-services companies are warning that they may not be able to jump-start drilling.\u201d\nRex Energy lost $373 million last year - Utica driller Rex Energy lost $373 million last year in a glutted oil and natural gas market but expects to produce more this year. The company released its fourth-quarter and annual earnings report Tuesday. Rex Energy, based in State College, Pa., has the ninth most Utica Shale permits in Ohio and has 31 producing wells. The company\u2019s annual loss works out to $6.85 per basic share. During the fourth quarter, Rex lost $100.5 million or $1.85 per basic share, according to a press release. During 2015, Rex produced 195.8 million cubic feet of natural-gas equivalent per day, an increase of 27 percent over 2014. Oil and natural-gas liquids accounted for 38 percent of annual production. The company spent $171 million on Marcellus and Ohio Utica operations in 2015. The company drilled 34 gross wells, fracked 39 gross wells and placed 33 gross wells in production. Gross wells are wells in which a driller has full or partial ownership. Rex expects to be reimbursed $18.5 million from ArcLight and $20 million from Benefit Street Partners under the terms of a joint exploration and development agreement announced March 1. In Carroll County last year, Rex drilled six gross wells and fracked three gross wells. The company placed four wells into sales during the first quarter Rex said it expects to produce approximately 200 million cubic feet of natural-gas equivalent per day during the first quarter of 2016. Annual production is expected to grow by 5 to 10 percent. The company expects to spend between $15 million and $40 million in operational capital in 2016.\nAramco, Shell to divide Motiva JV\u2019s refining assets - Saudi Aramco and Royal Dutch Shell PLC have entered a preliminary agreement to separate assets of Motiva Enterprises LLC, the Houston-based refining and marketing joint venture equally owned and operated by the companies since 2002 (OGJ Online, Feb. 13, 2002). Aramco subsidiary Saudi Refining Inc. (SRI) and Shell\u2019s US downstream affiliate signed a nonbinding letter of intent (LOI) to divide the assets on Mar. 16, the companies said in a joint statement. Under the LOI\u2019s terms, the partners have agreed to evaluate options and select an optimal deal structure in order to form a definitive agreement to divide and transfer Motiva\u2019s assets, liabilities, and employees. As part of the proposed agreement, SRI will retain the Motiva name, assume 100% ownership of the 600,000-b/d Port Arthur, Tex., refinery, retain 26 distribution terminals, as well as maintain an exclusive, long-term license to use the Shell brand for gasoline and diesel sales in Texas, the majority of the Mississippi Valley, the US Southeast, and US Mid-Atlantic markets. In exchange, Shell will assume sole ownership of the 235,000-b/d Norco refinery\u2014where subsidiary Shell Chemical LP already operates a petrochemical plant\u2014and the 242,250-b/d Convent refinery, which Motiva previously announced will be integrated to create the Louisiana Refining System (LRS) (OGJ Online, Mar. 26, 2015). Shell also will retain nine distribution terminals, as well as Shell-branded markets in Florida, Louisiana, and the US Northeast.\nShell, Saudi Aramco split assets, including big US refinery (AP) \u2014 Royal Dutch Shell PLC and Saudi Arabian Oil Co. will split up the assets of their joint U.S. venture, which will see the kingdom\u2019s state-owned producer take full ownership of America\u2019s biggest oil refinery, the companies announced late Wednesday. The Port Arthur, Texas, refinery, located about 90 miles (140 kilometers) east of Houston, produces some 603,000 barrels of oil a day, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. It had been part of a 50-50 joint venture between the two companies called Motiva Enterprises LLC, which formed in 1998. Under terms of the deal announced in a statement, a Saudi Aramco affiliate will retain the Motiva name and full control of the Port Arthur, Texas, refinery. It also will keep 26 distribution terminals and will have exclusive rights to sell gasoline and diesel under the Shell brand in Texas, the majority of the Mississippi Valley, the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic markets. For its part, Shell will get sole ownership of refineries in Norco and Convent, Louisiana, as well as nine distribution terminals and Shell-branded markets in Florida, Louisiana and the Northeastern U.S. The companies did not disclose any preliminary financial details of the deal. Between the three refineries, Motiva said it produces some 1.1 million barrels of oil per day.\nEnergy Wars Of Attrition - The Irony Of Oil Abundance -- With the advent of North American energy abundance in 2012, petroleum enthusiasts began to promote the idea of a \u201cnew American industrial renaissance\u201d based on accelerated shale oil and gas production and the development of related petrochemical enterprises. Combine such a vision with diminished fears about reliance on imported oil, especially from the Middle East, and the United States suddenly had -- so the enthusiasts of the moment asserted -- a host of geopolitical advantages and fresh life as the planet\u2019s sole superpower. \u201cThe outline of a new world oil map is emerging, and it is centered not on the Middle East but on the Western Hemisphere,\u201d oil industry adviser Daniel Yergin proclaimed in theWashington Post. \u201cThe new energy axis runs from Alberta, Canada, down through [the shale fields of] North Dakota and South Texas... to huge offshore oil deposits found near Brazil.\u201d All of this, he asserted, \u201cpoints to a major geopolitical shift,\u201d leaving the United States advantageously positioned in relation to any of its international rivals. If the blindness of so much of this is beginning to sound a little familiar, the reason is simple enough. Just as the peak oil theorists failed to foresee crucial technological breakthroughs in the energy world and how they would affect fossil fuel production, the industry and its boosters failed to anticipate the impact of a gusher of additional oil and gas on energy prices. And just as the introduction of fracking made peak oil theory irrelevant, so oil and gas abundance -- and the accompanying plunge of prices to rock-bottom levels -- shattered the prospects for a U.S. industrial renaissance based on accelerated energy production.\nPropane Stocks \u2013 Spinning Wheel - What Goes Up, Must Come Down -- Blood, Sweat & Tears 1969 hit, Spinning Wheel tells us: \u201cWhat Goes Up, Must Come Down\u201d, and U.S. propane stocks are no exception. Having built to a record 106 MMBbl the week of November 20, 2015, (according to the Energy Information Administration \u2013 EIA), storage congestion became the topic of the day, but while this record is noteworthy, what is far more significant is the rapid descent propane stocks have taken since late November in spite of the 2015-16 El Nino \u201cwinter of no winter\u201d. This is the second non-winter that the U.S. has experienced over the past five years, the last one occurring in 2011-2012. However, there are big differences in today\u2019s market dynamics relative to 5 years ago, namely propane exports to the tune of 850 Mb/d. In today\u2019s blog, we\u2019ll walk through the market dynamics that have resulted in extremely steep propane stock draws since late November 2015. It is no secret that propane production has been running strong as a result of the shale gas boom and we\u2019ve previously detailed the implications of growing supply from gas processing plants which has more than doubled from 565 Mb/d in January 2010 to 1,135 Mb/d in December 2015 (down slightly from the peak of 1,167 Mb/d in October 2015). We covered the growing supply of propane, falling prices and increasing export volumes in Sail Away, the impact weather has on propane markets in A Perfect Storm, and how prices impact propane as a petrochemical feedstock in Beyond Hypothermia. In addition, RBN produced a comprehensive study for the Propane Education and Research Council (PERC) in 2015 to assess how propane market developments could impact the prospects for disruptions similar to those that occurred during the \u201cPerfect Storm\u201d winter (2013-14), a summary of which was published in our Drill Down Report: Next To You and an extensive blog series including Can\u2019t Get Next To You.\nFracking accounts for about half of U.S. oil production - Hydraulic fracturing accounts for about half of the crude-oil production in the U.S., the Energy Information Administration said in a report Tuesday. Hydraulic fracturing, also known as fracking, involves using a mix of water, sand, and other additives to coax oil and gas from dense rock formations, and has unlocked huge oil and gas deposits previously trapped in shale rock. The technique has been around for more than 60 years, but only recently has been used to produce a significant portion of oil in the country, the EIA said. By 2015, the number of hydraulically-fractured wells grew to an estimated 300,000, and production from those wells grew to more than 4.3 million barrels a day, the government agency reported, using well completion and production data from DrillingInfo and IHS Global Insight. That output makes up about 50% of the country\u2019s total oil output. Shale production had helped the U.S. surpass Saudi Arabia and Russia to become the world\u2019s largest producer of oil in 2014, according to Platts. But the output growth contributed to a glut of oil supplies-- and a slump in prices that saw the U.S. benchmark CLJ6, +1.49% fall more than 70% from its mid-2014 peak.\nFracking and Oil Production Sources in the United States -- Even though hydraulic fracturing has been in use for more than six decades, it has only recently been used to produce a significant portion of crude oil in the United States. This technique, often used in combination with horizontal drilling, has allowed the United States to increase its oil production faster than at any time in its history. Based on the most recent available data from states, EIA estimates that oil production from hydraulically fractured wells now makes up about half of total U.S. crude oil production. Hydraulic fracturing involves forcing a liquid (primarily water) under high pressure from a wellbore against a rock formation until it fractures. This injected liquid contains a proppant, or small, solid particles (usually sand or a manmade granular solid of similar size) that fills the expanding fracture. When the injection is stopped and the high pressure is reduced, the formation attempts to settle back into its original configuration, but the proppant keeps the fracture open. This allows hydrocarbons such as crude oil and natural gas to flow from the rock formation back to the wellbore and then to the surface. Using well completion and production data from DrillingInfo and IHS Global Insight, EIA created a profile of oil production in the United States. In 2000, approximately 23,000 hydraulically fractured wells produced 102,000 barrels per day (b/d) of oil in the United States, making up less than 2% of the national total. By 2015, the number of hydraulically fractured wells grew to an estimated 300,000, and production from those wells had grown to more than 4.3 million b/d, making up about 50% of the total oil output of the United States. These results may vary from other sources because of the types of wells included in the analysis and update schedules of source databases.\nMethane Emissions Are Spiking, But Don\u2019t Blame Fossil Fuels Just Yet - Since 2006, atmospheric levels of methane \u2014 a greenhouse gas 86 times more potent than carbon dioxide over a 20-year period \u2014 have steadily been on the rise. For years, scientists weren\u2019t sure what was behind the rising levels of methane, but they had a few ideas: namely an increase in fossil fuel-related emissions. Now, a new study is pointing to a different culprit: agriculture-related methane emissions, especially from livestock and rice production. Published last week in the journal Science, researchers from New Zealand\u2019s National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) found that the majority of methane released into the atmosphere since 2006 was produced by bacteria, pointing to sources like agriculture \u2014 rather than sources like fossil fuel production or the burning of organic material \u2014 as the culprit behind the increase in methane levels. The researchers were able to discern agricultural methane from other sources of methane by looking at the gas\u2019 isotopic signatures \u2014 or the ratio of various carbon isotopes \u2014 using data from atmospheric monitoring stations around the world. By looking at the distinct isotopic signatures, the researchers could differentiate between methane produced from fracking, for instance, and methane produced from agriculture, because they each have different signatures. The data also suggested that the increase in methane came from regions including India, China and Southeast Asia, suggesting that the rise was due to agriculture, not the growth of fracking in North America.\nHydraulic Fracturing Market Size, Share, Trends, Growth, Analysis and Forecast to 2022: Brisk Insights - - According to a recent research report published by BriskInsights.com, the Global Hydraulic Fracturing Market is expected to grow at the CAGR of 12% during 2015-2022 and it estimated to be $75 billion by 2022. The Global Hydraulic Fracturing Market is segmented on the basis of industry type and geography. The report on Global Hydraulic Fracturing Market Forecast 2015-2022 provides detailed overview and predictive analysis of the market. The Global Hydraulic Fracturing Market is expected to grow exponentially due to huge adoption of shale type such as Antrim Shale, Bakken Shale, Barnett Shale, Eagle Ford Shale, Fayetteville Shale Haynesville Shale Marcellus Shale and so on. The increasing demand for Global Hydraulic Fracturing Market by type such as Perf-and-Plug, Sliding Sleeve is major driver for the market. Global Hydraulic Fracturing Market is expected to contribute highest in North America followed by Europe. The global rise in exploration and production of shale in Global Hydraulic Fracturing Market products are expected to create huge scope in emerging economies. The rise in production and consumption of shale products are expected to boost the market significantly in the next few years.\nThe U.S. Is Exporting Its Oil Everywhere - Three months since the U.S. lifted a 40-year ban on oil exports, American crude is flowing to virtually every corner of the market and reshaping the world\u2019s energy map. With American stockpiles at unprecedented levels, oil tankers laden with U.S. crude have docked in, or are heading to, countries including France, Germany, the Netherlands, Israel, China and Panama. Oil traders said other destinations are likely, just as supplies in Europe and the Mediterranean region are also increasing. One reason behind the rise in exports is cheap pipeline and railway fees to move crude from the fields in Texas, Oklahoma and North Dakota into the ports of the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Another is that U.S. oil prices have been trading at a discount to Brent crude, allowing traders to move oil from one shore of the Atlantic to another at a profit. Exxon in early March became the first major U.S. oil company to ship American crude from elsewhere, sending the Maran Sagitta tanker from Beaumont, Texas, into a refinery it owns in Sicily, Italy. Days later, Sinopec lifted on the Pinnacle Spirt tanker a cargo of U.S. crude, a first for a Chinese oil group. Oil traders are starting to export American crude to store it overseas and profit from a market condition called contango. That\u2019s where prices of oil for delivery today are lower than those in future months. Buyers with access to storage can fill up their tanks with cheap crude and sell higher-priced futures contracts to lock in a profit.\nThe \"Surprising\" Answer What Energy Companies Have Spent Their Newly Issued Equity Proceeds On - One week ago, as confirmation that the recent oil rally is merely being used by banks to force debtor companies to sell equity and to repay as much secured loans as possible, we showed the case study of Weatherford International and its primary banker, JPMorgan. As we laid out, Weatherford had been in talks with JP Morgan Chase, its key lender, to re-negotiate its revolving credit facility - the only thing keeping the company afloat. \"However, in a move that shocked the financial markets, JP Morgan led an equity offering that raised $565 million for Weatherford. Based on liquidation value Weatherford is insolvent. The question remains, why would JP Morgan risk its reputation by selling shares in an insolvent company?\" \"According to the prospectus, at Q4 2015 Weatherford had cash of $467 million debt of $7.5 billion. It debt was broken down as follows: [i] revolving credit facility ($967 million), [ii] other short-term loans ($214 million), [iii] current portion of long-term debt of $401 million and [iv] long-term debt of $5.9 billion.\" But the biggest surprise was that JP Morgan is also head of a banking syndicate that has the revolving credit facility. It was a surprise because JP Morgan also happened to be the lead underwriter on Weatherford's equity offering.The punchline: the proceeds from the offering are expected to be used to repay JP Morgan's revolving credit facility.\nAubrey McClendon was driving 90 mph when he crashed - Oklahoma oil tycoon Aubrey McClendon was driving close to 90 mph just seconds before the fiery crash that killed him a day after his indictment on bid-rigging charges, Oklahoma City police said Monday. Based on black box data, investigators have determined that the former Chesapeake Energy Corp. CEO did not make any real attempt to brake before his natural gas-powered Chevy Tahoe slammed into an underpass in the March 2 crash. Oklahoma City Police Chief Bill Citty told reporters during a Monday press conference that McClendon \u201cwent left of center approximately 189 feet prior to that point of impact.\u201d The 56-year-old fracking tycoon was not wearing his seatbelt before the wreck and, though he tapped his brakes repeatedly, \u201cit\u2019s not really enough to consider brakeage,\u201d Citty said.\u201cIt didn\u2019t really slow the vehicle.\u201d In the last 31 feet before impact, the energy magnate let off the brakes altogether. Investigators believe the brakes were functioning properly. When he smashed into the bridge underpass, McClendon\u2019s vehicle rotated about 7 feet counterclockwise and three wheels went airborne, causing the Tahoe to slow down to about 78 mph by the point of impact. McClendon suffered blunt force trauma and was probably dead before the flames scorched his body, Citty said.\nSpecial Report: The final days and deals of Aubrey McClendon - Reuters -- A Reuters review of records and interviews show:\n* McClendon no longer controlled the bulk of his most bankable venture, the one that helped make him a billionaire while he was CEO of Chesapeake: his stake in thousands of company oil and gas wells awarded to him during his tenure. Records show he was in the process of transferring the last of these interests to a company controlled by a close friend, Clayton Bennett of Dorchester Capital.\n* His largest investor was halting all new business with him. The backer, Energy & Minerals Group of Houston, informed its investors just before his death that McClendon no longer held any leadership roles in related firms.\n* McClendon had recently reached an undisclosed, tentative agreement to pay at least $3 million to Chesapeake to settle a legal dispute in which his former company had accused him of taking confidential data with him when he left in 2013 to set up his new company.\n* By fighting the U.S. criminal indictment, he faced a potential public airing of his business tactics. McClendon\u2019s own emails were expected to represent the bulk of the government\u2019s evidence against him, say two people familiar with the matter.\nAubrey McClendon Left His Biggest Backer With Billions to Lose - The late Aubrey McClendon thrived on risk. John Raymond, his biggest backer, not quite as much. But with McClendon gone, the price of oil so low and debts piling up, Raymond could be in a tight spot. McClendon, who died March 2 in a car crash, had recently been ousted from Chesapeake Energy Corp. when he invited a handful of private equity firms to bankroll what he called \u201cthe second half of my career.\u201d The terms outlined in the April 2013 pitch, obtained by Bloomberg, were so favorable to McClendon, however, that most investors turned him down, according to people familiar with the response. After some haggling, one of the few that accepted was Energy & Minerals Group, the firm led by Raymond, son of the former Exxon Mobil Corp. Chief Executive Officer Lee Raymond. Though there\u2019s still time to salvage the bets, much if not all of the estimated $2.6 billion that an EMG fund put into a half-dozen enterprises set up by McClendon\u2019s American Energy Partners LP could be lost, according to Carin Dehne-Kiley, a Standard & Poor\u2019s credit analyst, who tracks three of the four biggest ventures. Side bets by EMG investors added hundreds of millions of dollars to that figure, said two people familiar with the matter who asked not to be identified because the information is confidential. That, too, is at risk. \u201cThere\u2019s a good chance these guys will default in the next 12 months,\u201d barring an oil-price rebound, Dehne-Kiley said of the EMG-backed American Energy Partners ventures that she tracks.\nShort-sighted Clinton opposes fracking - Columbus Dispatch -- To my amazement, I watched Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton this past Saturday say that she would impose burdensome regulations on hydraulic fracturing. \u201cBy the time we get through with all of my conditions, I do not think there will be many places in America where fracturing will continue to take place.\u201d Her words. As a landowner\u2019s advocate, I have watched firsthand how the advent of hydraulic fracturing into shale has transformed Ohio. Every Ohioan has benefited from the shale boom. Huge sums of money have been shifted from the Wall Street \u201celites\u201d to landowners in eastern and southeastern Ohio in the form of bonuses, royalties and pipeline fees. Local businesses have been invigorated by the influx of oil-field workers. Ohio\u2019s tax base has broadened substantially. Every person who heats their home with natural gas enjoys remarkably low prices thanks to the near-unlimited supplies of methane released by the hydraulic fracturing of shale. I cannot fathom how a candidate for President, campaigning on promises of prosperity, would threaten to kill the golden goose that has blessed Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. \u201cFracking\u201d is the very method by which the United States has become an oil exporter for the first time in two generations and has unlocked more proved, obtainable natural-gas reserves than any other country.\nHillary Clinton's Mistake on Fracking for Natural Gas - Hillary\u2019s strong anti-fracking statement is, at the very least, politically unsavvy: battleground states Ohio and Pennsylvania are our key incremental natural gas producers, and fracking is their primary means to extract more gas. Ohio has the Utica shale gas play and Pennsylvania has the Marcellus gas shale play, and fracking is instrumental to energy and economic development in both states \u2013 crucial investments worth many tens of billions of dollars (here, here). Hillary should know that Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida (the last being increasingly a gas-based state that wants more fracked gas from the first two, here) remain the battleground states to focus on most because \u201csince 1960 no candidate has won the presidential race without taking at least two of these three states.\u201d And Hillary\u2019s anti-fracking position appears highly hypocritical and illogical: she has been promoting fracking in other countries (see the facts on that from left leaning sites here, here). What\u2019s even more strange for Hillary is that her former boss, President Obama, has been a supporter of fracking for natural gas (here, here, here)\u2026not to mention California Governor Jerry Brown\u2019s, a leading progressive on climate change policy, support of fracking (here). In fact, anti-fracking positions are a threat to the energy security of our entire nation, and will just make other states unfairly over reliant on Ohio and Pennsylvania gas (just ask New York how anti-fracking positions simply mean greater reliance on Pennsylvania\u2019s fracked natural gas) \u2013 gas is just that much more reliable.\nOil industry dreads Trump-Clinton choice - Politico -- The staunchly GOP-aligned oil industry that championed George W. Bush and Mitt Romney isn\u2019t yet willing to embrace Donald Trump \u2014 and some of its lobbyists wonder if they could stomach seeing Hillary Clinton in the White House instead. It\u2019s yet another sign of how Trump\u2019s unconventional campaign and bombastic rhetoric have upended many of the traditional assumptions of presidential politics. For oil and gas supporters, the industry\u2019s traditional allegiance to the Republican Party is bumping up against the GOP front-runner\u2019s support for ethanol, his puzzling remarks about grabbing \u201ca chunk\u201d of the Keystone XL pipeline and his attacks on oil as just another \u201cspecial interest.\u201d Among those expressing uncertainty is the industry's top lobbyist, American Petroleum Institute CEO Jack Gerard, who told POLITICO this month that he doesn't know whom he will vote for in November. \"It's probably premature for me to judge,\" said Gerard, a former Bush campaign bundler who in 2012 was widely viewed as a potential White House chief of staff or energy secretary if Romney won. Another oil industry source was even blunter about the prospects of a match-up between Clinton, who promises to crack down on oil and gas pollution, and Trump, who has accused Republican rival Ted Cruz of being \"totally controlled by the oil companies.\" \"Is there a Door Number Three?\" the source asked by email.\nBig Oil Is Scared of Trump for Terrible Reasons -- The Republican Party has few constituencies more loyal than the oil industry. Over the last two election cycles, the American Petroleum Institute has given 80 percent of its donations to GOP candidates. But with the party on the verge of nominating a reality star turned pseudo-fascist demagogue, even Big Oil\u2019s eye is starting to wander across the aisle, Politico reports: The staunchly GOP-aligned oil industry that championed George W. Bush and Mitt Romney isn\u2019t yet willing to embrace Donald Trump \u2014 and some of its lobbyists wonder if they could stomach seeing Hillary Clinton in the White House instead.They aren\u2019t scared of Trump because he might destroy what\u2019s left of our crumbling republic \u2014 they\u2019re scared because he might not be committed to destroying the climate.\u201cWould he take a carbon tax as part of a tax reform deal? Of course, because he cares about tax reform,\" said McKenna, the Republican energy lobbyist. \"You start asking yourself policy questions, \u2018Would he do X?\u2019 The answer is usually yes.\"The lobbyists are also concerned by an interview the Donald gave to Field & Stream in which he came out against returning federal lands to the states. The oil industry believes those lands are best managed by local authorities who know their regions and are much easier to lobby for drilling rights. \u201cI don\u2019t like the idea because I want to keep the lands great, and you don\u2019t know what the state is going to do. I mean, are they going to sell if they get into a little bit of trouble?\u201d Trump told the magazine. \u201cAnd I don\u2019t think it\u2019s something that should be sold. We have to be great stewards of this land. This is magnificent land.\u201d\nJudge: BP not to pay oil industry losses from moratorium (AP) \u2014 A federal judge ruled that BP does not have to pay for economic losses other businesses suffered when the federal government shut down deep-water drilling in the wake of BP\u2019s catastrophic 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier in New Orleans issued his ruling late Thursday. The Obama administration imposed a six-month drilling ban in the Gulf to prevent another disaster. The offshore industry called the moratorium a costly mistake. Barbier\u2019s ruling came in a lawsuit brought by six companies involved in offshore drilling, but plaintiffs\u2019 lawyers said thousands of similar claims worth billions of dollars would be affected by the ruling.\nObama Reverses Course on Drilling Off Southeast Coast - The Obama administration is expected to withdraw its plan to permit oil and gas drilling off the southeast Atlantic coast, yielding to an outpouring of opposition from coastal communities from Virginia to Georgia but dashing the hopes and expectations of many of those states\u2019 top leaders. The announcement by the Interior Department, which is seen as surprising, could come as soon as Tuesday, according to a person familiar with the decision who was not authorized to speak on the record because the plan had not been publicly disclosed. The decision represents a reversal of President Obama\u2019s previous offshore drilling plans, and comes as he is trying to build an ambitious environmental legacy. It could also inject the issue into the 2016 presidential campaigns, as Republican candidates vow to expand drilling. In January 2015, Mr. Obama drew the wrath of environmentalists and high praise from the oil industry and Southeastern governors after the Interior Department put forth a proposal that would have opened much of the southeastern Atlantic coast to offshore drilling for the first time. The proposal came after governors, state legislators and senators from Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia all expressed support for the drilling. Lawmakers in the state capitals saw new drilling as creating jobs and bolstering state revenue. But the offshore drilling proposal, which was still in draft form and was not to be finalized until later this year, provoked a backlash from coastal communities including Norfolk, Va., which supports the world\u2019s largest naval base; Charleston, S.C.; and tiny tourist towns around Myrtle Beach, S.C., and on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Over 106 of those coastal cities and towns signed resolutions asking Mr. Obama to shut down plans for new drilling.\nObama bans oil drilling along Atlantic seaboard - The Obama administration abandoned its plan for oil and gas drilling in Atlantic waters on Tuesday, after strong opposition from the Pentagon and coastal communities. The announcement from Sally Jewell, the interior secretary, to bar drilling across the length of the mid-Atlantic seaboard reverses Obama\u2019s decision just a year ago to open up the east coast to oil and gas exploration, and consolidates his record for environmental protection. In a conference call with reporters, Jewell said Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida would remain off-limits for drilling until 2022 because of coastal communities\u2019 concerns about risks to their fishing and tourist industries from an oil and gas spill, and warnings from the navy about interference with its systems. \u201cWe heard from many corners that now is not the time to offer oil and gas leasing off the Atlantic coast,\u201d Jewell said. \u201cWhen you factor in conflicts with national defense, economic activities such as fishing and tourism, and opposition from many local communities, it simply doesn\u2019t make sense to move forward with lease sales in the coming five years.\u201d Jewell left open a small possibility for future drilling in the Arctic, saying officials would still consider leases at three locations within the Chukchi and Beaufort seas, and Cook inlet. \u201cWe know the Arctic is a unique place of critical importance to many \u2013 including Alaska Natives who rely on the ocean for subsistence,\u201d Jewell said. \u201cWe want to hear from the public to help determine whether these areas are appropriate for future leasing and how we can protect environmental, cultural and subsistence resources.\u201d\nNear-Record Cash `Comfort' for Canada Oil Firms Amid Price Rout -- Canada\u2019s biggest oil producers are sitting on a near-record pile of cash, giving them the resources to keep investing and manage debt while weathering the worst price rout in a generation. The five largest oil producers including Suncor Energy Inc. and Cenovus Energy Inc. have a combined C$8.5 billion ($6.4 billion) in cash and cash equivalents, an increase of 7.6 percent from a year earlier and more than twice the levels seen during 2009 downturn. The figures, which are little changed from a record C$9 billion in 2014, don\u2019t include the proceeds from Imperial Oil Ltd.\u2019s recent sale of its Esso-brand gas stations for C$2.8 billion. \u201cSitting on cash and a healthy balance sheet has become a competitive advantage,\u201d . \u201cThese guys still have a lot of capital they need to spend.\u201d Divestitures, cost cutting, equity raises, and dividend cuts have helped bolster balance sheets as Canadian oil producers buckle down for the \u201clower for longer\u201d prices Suncor Chief Executive Officer Steven Williams has described. Compared with the last downturn when commodity prices made a quick recovery, the industry isn\u2019t betting on a return to high prices and needs the money to keep their operations expanding. Having cash is an important survival tactic as commodity markets remain volatile despite the recent recovery that saw oil prices rebound toward $40 from more than a 12-year low of about $26 a barrel in February. West Texas Intermediate is expected to average C$39.50 this year, according to the estimates compiled by Bloomberg.\nFracking review: Companies not required to negotiate land access under WA Government reform - Oil and gas companies that want to carry out fracking on West Australian land will not be obliged to negotiate with landowners, despite recommendations to Government to make it mandatory. The WA Government has announced it will adopt 10 of 12 recommendations made to them in November by an Upper House parliamentary committee and designed to beef up the regulation of the state's growing onshore oil and gas industry. The committee spent two years conducting a public inquiry into the implications of fracking, the practice used to extract onshore shale gas. The recommendations include increased fines for oil and gas companies that commit offences. The State Government argued a voluntary land access agreement that was brokered by the petroleum industry and agricultural groups in 2015 already existed, and hence did not need to be made compulsory. But the WA National's Member for Moore Shane Love said the agreement must be mandated to \"give it real teeth\". The State Government has also rejected a recommendation to form a statutory body to act as an independent arbiter for land owners and resource companies in land access negotiations.\nIn oil price plunge, North Sea industry faces perfect storm - The North Sea oil industry, the biggest and oldest in Europe, is struggling with a toxic combination of aging, drying wells and the recent plunge in oil prices, which is forcing companies to rethink investments and putting thousands of jobs at risk. Estimates suggest more than a third of some 330 oil fields in the U.K. North Sea will close in the next five years. \u201cThere is a sort of perfect storm,\u201d \u201cThose cumulative factors are going to negatively impact on the North Sea unless there is a fairly significant upsurge in the price of oil.\u201d For the North Sea, each new bust accelerates its downward spiral, hurting the countries that tap it \u2014 Britain, Norway and to a lesser extent the Netherlands. Norway on Thursday slashed interest rates in a bid to help the economy manage the oil sector\u2019s drop. In Britain, the government this week offered tax relief to oil companies to protect jobs and stem a decline in government income. Tax revenue from the industry dropped to 2.1 billion pounds ($3 billion) last year from 10.9 billion pounds in 2011-12. Some of the biggest platforms are being dismantled as the industry forecasts production will drop to 45 million tons of oil equivalent this year, less than a third of the 150 million tons produced in 1999. Shell, for example, has started the process of decommissioning the Brent oilfield \u2014 which has produced 3 billion barrels of oil equivalent since 1976 and gave its name to the international crude oil benchmark. Oil companies are expected to invest about 1 billion pounds ($1.4 billion) in new projects this year, compared with a recent average of 8 billion pounds, industry association Oil & Gas U.K. says. And it is hitting workers hard. Some 5,500 people have lost their jobs, or 15 percent of the 36,600 directly employed in the industry at the end of 2013, according to Oil & Gas U.K. The group estimates that total direct and indirect employment supported by the industry has fallen to 375,000 from a peak of 440,000.\nOil will be over $100 a Barrel in 3 Years (Video) - Here is the Oil Equation: Existing Supply minus Shale Destruction, minus Cap Ex Reductions, minus Depletion Rates Globally, minus Demand Growth versus Iranian New Supply. Oil will be above $45 a barrel by April, above $70 a barrel in fifteen months, and over $100 a barrel in 3 years once you start plugging in the numbers in the aforementioned oil equation. The scary thing is we now know what Russia, Saudi Arabia and OPEC have in terms of Spare Capacity - and it is much less than we thought five years ago.\nWhy Oil Producers Don't Believe The Oil Rally: Credit Suisse Explains - For the past month, the price of oil has soared by a 50% on no fundamental catalyst; in fact, the \"fundamental\" situation has gotten progressively worse with the record oil inventory glut increasing by the day even as US crude oil production posted a modest rebound in the past week after two months of declines, while the much touted OPEC/non-OPEC oil production freeze has yet to be discussed, let alone implemented. With or without a valid catalyst, however, the short squeeze price action has drastically changed not only investor psychology, but that of the IEA as well, which on Friday announced that oil may have bottomed (if the agency's predictive track record is any indication, oil is about to crash). But while traders, algos and CNBC guest \"commodity experts\" may be certain that oil will never drop to $27 again, someone else is not at all convinced that oil prices will not drop again: oil producers themselves. We first noted this earlier this week,since January, the spread between Brent for delivery on the 2020 end of the curve and crude for prompt supply has dropped by nearly $8 to around $10.71 a barrel. \"Brent's flattening contango since January comes as many producers want to cash in immediately on recent price rises. They've been heavily selling 2017/2018 and beyond, and it shows that they don't quite trust the higher spot prices yet,\" said one crude futures trader.\"This means that even the producers don't really expect a strong price rally until well into 2017 or later,\" he said. The companies that explore for oil and pump it out of the ground have been locking in price gains by selling off future output as a financial hedge, pulling down prices for those contracts, said sources with some of the producers and traders who had been counterparty to deals.\nOil Prices Should Fall, Possibly Hard -- Art Berman - Oil prices should fall, possibly hard, in coming weeks. That is because fundamentals do not support the present price. Prices should fall to around $30 once the empty nature of an OPEC-plus-Russia production freeze is understood. A return to the grim reality of over-supply and the weakness of the world economy could push prices well into the $20s. An OPEC-plus-Russia production cut would be a great step toward re-establishing oil-market balance. I believe that will happen later in 2016 but is not on the table today. In late February, Saudi oil minister Ali Al-Naimi stated categorically, \u201cThere is no sense in wasting our time in seeking production cuts. That will not happen.\u201d Instead, Russia and Saudi Arabia have apparently agreed to a production freeze. This is meaningless theater but it helped lift oil prices 37% from just more than $26 in mid-February to almost $36 per barrel last week. That is a lot of added revenue for Saudi Arabia and Russia but it will do nothing to balance the over-supplied world oil market. The problem is that neither Saudi Arabia nor Russia has greatly increased production since the oil-price collapse began in 2014 (Figure 1). A freeze by those countries, therefore, will only ensure that the supply surplus will not get worse because of them. It is, moreover, doubtful that Saudi Arabia or Russia have the spare capacity to increase production much beyond present levels making the proposal of a freeze cynical rather than helpful. Saudi Arabia and Russia are two of the world\u2019s largest oil-producing countries. Yet in January 2016, Saudi liquids output was only ~110,000 bpd more than in January 2014 and Russia was actually producing ~50,000 bpd less than in January 2014. The present world production surplus is more than 2 mmbpd. By contrast, the U.S. plus Canada are producing ~1.9 mmbpd more than in January 2014 and Iraq\u2019s crude oil production has increased ~1.7 mmbpd. Also, Iran has potential to increase its production by as much as ~1 mmbpd during 2016. Yet, none of these countries have agreed to the production freeze. Iran, in fact, called the idea \u201cridiculous.\u201d\nOil Plunges Back To Draghi Lows - Just as we saw with the stock market following Draghi's December disappointment dead-cat-bounce, WTI Crude has collapsed back topost-Draghi lows, erasing all the WTF bounce from Friday. The driver - aside from the fact that there was no driver of the ramp - appears to be comments from Emirates Bank on the resilience of US shale (and the surprising lack of production drops for now). US shale-oil producers could decide to stay in the game with prices currently hovering around $40/barrel, according to Edward Bell at Dubai-based bank Emirates NBD. Market participants expected some shale producers to be pushed out as they struggled to compete in the low-price environment, and while US production is falling, it's not been happening at a rapid rate. With prices well off their recent lows, shale producers could decide to weather the storm and try to keep output high. US production has dropped around 120K/day so far this year, but still remains above 9M barrels. Finally, given the total lies that were spewed about a March meeting of OPEC/NOPEC, it appears April is the new March... OPEC and non-OPEC producers are likely to hold their next meeting on a plan to freeze output levels in a bid to support prices in mid-April in Doha,three OPEC sources said on Monday. An earlier plan was to meet on March 20 in Russia, but sources familiar with the matter said last week this was unlikely to take place.\nOil Plunges Back To $36 Handle As Short-Squeeze Ends - Remember last week when oil prices spiked despite a rise in crude production, inventory builds, continuing storage concerns at Cushing, and the admission that there is no March OPEC/NOPEC \"freeze\" meeting. Well that's all over. April WTI just broke back to a $36 handle - erasing all of those algo gains... Strong USD, weak Oil... Rinse. Repeat. As we noted previously, catching a falling knife is hard, especially when it\u2019s covered in oil. The International Energy Agency today said oil prices may have bottomed out. Several people have tried to call the oil\u2019s floor since prices started falling in the summer of 2014. So far nobody has been right. Of course it's different this time, this really is the bottom. Except, with ETF shorts having collapsed to \"norms\" the buyers of last resort will have their work cut out maintaining the dream with no one left to squeeze... Charts: Bloomberg\nWhy Oil Prices May Not Move Higher - Arthur Berman - The oil-price rally that began in mid-February will almost certainly collapse. It is similar to the false March-June 2015 rally. In both cases, prices increased largely because of sentiment. As in the earlier rally, current storage volumes are too large and demand is too weak to sustain higher prices for long. WTI prices have increased 47 percent over the past 20 days from $26.21 in mid-February to $38.50 last week (Figure 1). A year ago, WTI rose 41 percent in 35 days from $43 to almost $61 per barrel. Like today, analysts then believed that a bottom had been reached. Prices stayed around $60 for 37 days before falling to a new bottom of $38 per barrel in late August. Much lower bottoms would be found after that all the way down to almost $26 per barrel at the beginning of the present rally. Higher prices were unsustainable a year ago partly because crude oil inventories were more than 100 mmb (million barrels) above the 5-year average (Figure 2). Current inventory levels are 50 mmb higher than during the false rally of 2015 and are they still increasing. International stocks reflect a similar picture. OECD inventories are at 3.1 billion barrels of liquids, 431 mmb more than the 2010-2014 average and 359 mmb above the 2015 level. Approximately one-third of OECD stocks are U.S. (1.35 billion barrels of liquids). For 2015, U.S. liquids consumption shows a negative correlation with crude oil storage volumes (Figure 3). During the 2015 false price rally, consumption began to increase in April and May following the lowest WTI oil prices since March 2009\u2013response lags cause often by several months. Oil is accumulating in storage because of low demand and low prices. It makes more sense to pay the monthly storage cost (~0.65 per barrel) and sell the oil forward with ongoing futures contracts until the spot price increases and, hopefully, demand also increases. Many people think that the strip of futures contract prices are a reasonable guide to future prices. They are not. Futures prices mostly reflect the supply and demand of futures contracts. That in no way discounts the profound effect that futures trading has on oil prices. The WTI futures market is one of the biggest gambling casinos in the world. Bets are often made on sentiment that in turn is related to world events. Price fluctuations that are based primarily on sentiment, however, have little chance of lasting longer than the sentiment or related events that produced them.\nOil back below $40 as Iran dashes hopes for quick deal on output: (Reuters) - Oil fell around 2 percent on Monday after Iran dashed hopes that there would be a coordinated production freeze any time soon, returning bearish sentiment to the market over a supply glut that has sent prices crashing. Global benchmark Brent crude futures fell back below $40 a barrel, trading at $39.69 at 0903 GMT, down 70 cents on Friday's close. Brent hit a 12-year low of $27.10 in January. U.S. crude was down 79 cents at $37.71 a barrel. \"Oil is down because Iran said they would only join the output freeze group once they reached production of 4 million barrels a day (bpd),\" said Tamas Varga, oil analyst at London brokerage PVM Oil Associates. Iran's oil exports are due to reach 2 million bpd in the Iranian month that ends on March 19, up from 1.75 million in the previous month, Iran's oil minister Bijan Zanganeh said on Sunday. Zanganeh poured cold water over hopes for a quick deal on freezing production, saying the OPEC member would join discussions only once its own output reached 4 million bpd. Zanganeh is to meet his Russian counterpart Alexander Novak in Tehran on Monday, according to news agency reports. Saudi Arabia appeared to have stuck to a preliminary deal with some other producers to freeze output as its crude production held steady in February at 10.22 million bpd, an industry source told Reuters. Worries about demand fundamentals also moved back into the spotlight as investment bank Morgan Stanley warned that a slowing global economy and high production would prevent any sharp rises in oil prices.\nOil ends down 2 percent on technical pressure, stockpiles worry | Reuters: Oil settled 2 percent lower on Tuesday, extending losses for a second straight day, as the market yielded to technical resistance after running above $40 a barrel and worry that U.S. crude stockpiles were rising despite falling production. Uncertainty over how the U.S. Federal Reserve will word its policy statement on Wednesday also fed jitters in financial markets. The oil market will be on the look out later on Tuesday for preliminary data on U.S. crude stockpiles, due at 4:30 p.m. EDT from industry group American Petroleum Institute (API). The government-run Energy Information Administration (EIA) will issue official inventory numbers on Wednesday, forecast to show U.S. crude stockpiles at record highs for a fifth straight week. Crude had rallied about 50 percent over the past six weeks after talk that major oil producers planned to freeze output at January levels boosted a market that sank to 12-year lows on a supply glut.\nOil Pops After Lower-Than-Expected Crude Build -- Against expectations of a 3.2mm build, API reported a 1.5mm build after-hours today which sparked a modest pop in crude prices. Cushing saw its 7th weekly build (471k) as Gasoline extended its run of draws to the 4th week. API:\nCrude +1.5m\nGasoline -1.2m\n5th weely crude build, 7th weekly Cushing build, but 4th weekly Gasoline draw..\nOilPrice Intelligence Report: Is The Latest Rally Yet Another False Start?: Oil prices lost some of their shine over the past week, as reality set in. Oil markets remain oversupplied, inventories are still rising, and hopes have faded surrounding OPEC\u2019s ability to negotiate some kind of production cut. Iran punctured bullish sentiment when it said that it would not accept the OPEC-Russia production freeze deal until it had returned output to pre-sanctions level, which means that it has no intention of choking off output until it ramps up production by an additional 1 million barrels per day. Rally is too early. Even leaving aside Iran and the record high levels of oil sitting in storage, there could be a ceiling to the oil price rally due to the responsiveness of U.S. shale. A rally above $40 or $50 would bring U.S. shale production back online, due to the short lead times between new drilling and production. That would send prices back down. The key to a sustained rally is a more substantial cut back in production, which can only be possible if drillers are starved of capital, Goldman Sachs concluded recently. \u201cAn early rally in prices before a deficit materializes would prove self-defeating,\u201d Jeffrey Currie, head of commodities research at Goldman Sachs, wrote in a March 11 report. A reaction from the shale industry could take longer than expected, others argue. With battered balance sheets, thousands of laid off workers, idled equipment, and depleted access to capital, it is not as if oil drillers can spring into action immediately. For example, North Dakota\u2019s Director of Mineral Resources, Lynn Helms, thinks it could take oil prices rising above $60 per barrel before drilling picks up. \u201cIf you\u2019ve been on a strict diet for a long period of time, it takes a while to put the weight back on,\u201d Helms told reporters last week. As a result, even if oil prices rise, it will take time for damaged drillers to repair their balance sheets.\nWhy a Serious Oil Rebound is Not Coming Soon -- Oil prices have shown signs of life over the past few weeks, as production declines in the U.S. raise expectations that the market is starting to adjust. As a result, Brent crude recently surpassed $40 per barrel for the first time in months. The energy world has been speculating about declines from U.S. shale, and the declines are finally starting to show up in the data. Despite the newfound optimism that oil markets are balancing out, crude oil sitting in storage is at a record high in the United States. Energy investors may have preferred to focus U.S. production declines, or the fall in gasoline inventories in early March, but meanwhile crude oil stocks continue to signal that oversupply persists. Crude stocks rose once again last week, hitting yet another record of 521 million barrels. Storage levels at Cushing, Oklahoma, an all-important hub where the WTI benchmark price is determined, have surpassed 90 percent of capacity. U.S. output may be starting to decline, but it is doing so at a painfully slow rate. It isn\u2019t just a U.S. problem. Crude oil storage levels continue to climb around the world. Commercial stocks in the OECD surpassed 3 billion barrels in 2015. The EIA sees oil storage in the OECD rising to 3.24 billion barrels by the end of this year. It doesn\u2019t stop there. Storage levels rise a bit more next year, hitting 3.30 billion barrels by the end of 2017. That is a staggering forecast that should scare any oil investor. It also suggests that the price rally over the past few weeks, which has pushed oil prices up around 40 percent since early February, could be fleeting. There is evidence that suggests the rally was driven by speculators closing out short bets on oil, after accruing net-short positions at multiyear highs in recent months. The underlying fundamentals, however, have not appreciably changed in recent weeks. U.S. oil production is declining, but more or less at the same pace that it has for months. On the other hand, rising inventories undercut the notion that the market is adjusting. As a result, as the short-covering rally reaches its limits, and the markets digest the fact that the world is still oversupplied with oil, prices could fall once again.\nMajor oil producers to talk output freeze in Qatar in April \u2014 (AP) \u2014 OPEC member states and other major oil producers plan to meet next month to discuss a freeze in oil output levels, Qatar\u2019s top energy official said Wednesday. The gathering, which will build on earlier talks that included major suppliers Russia and Saudi Arabia, reflects a growing sense of urgency among producers to try to shore up crude prices following a steep drop that is straining their domestic budgets. Qatar holds the rotating presidency of OPEC and will host the upcoming talks, which are scheduled to take place the capital, Doha, on April 17. Some 15 oil-producing nations representing about 73 percent of world output have agreed to take part, according to a statement from Mohammed bin Saleh al-Sada, Qatar\u2019s energy and industry minister. \u201cThe continuous efforts of the Qatari government have been instrumental in promoting dialogue among all oil producers to support the Doha initiative, helping the stabilization of (the) oil market to the interest of all,\u201d al-Sada said in the statement, Energy ministers from Russia and OPEC members Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Venezuela pledged to cap their output levels if others do the same in an effort to bolster oil prices during a meeting in Doha last month. Other major producers, including OPEC members Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates, have since expressed support for the initiative. The countries are seeking coordinated action because they are reluctant to give up market share to other producers.\nCrude Slides After Cushing Build, Smaller-Than-Expected Gasoline Draw -- For the 7th week in a row, Cushing inventories saw a build (+545k) pushing to new record high stockpiles but that was offset by a smaller-than-expected build in overall crude (+1.3m vs +3.2m and less than API overnight). Smaller-than-expected draws in Gasoline and Distillates are helping to fade the early gains in crude.

Last year, there were 800,000 barrels of oil a day unaccounted for by the International Energy Agency, the energy monitor that puts together data on crude supply and demand. Where these barrels ended up, or if they even existed, is key to an oil market that remains under pressure from the glut in crude. Some analysts say the barrels may be in China. Others believe the barrels were created by flawed accounting and they don\u2019t actually exist. If they don\u2019t exist, then the oversupply that has driven crude prices to decade lows could be much smaller than estimated and prices could rebound faster. Whatever the answer, the discrepancy underscores how oil prices flip around based on data that investors are often unsure of. Barrels have gone missing before, but last year the tally of unaccounted-for oil grew to its highest level in 17 years. At a time when the issue of oversupply dominates the oil industry, this matters.\u201cIf the market is tighter than assumed due to the missing barrels, prices could spike quicker,\u201d . Here\u2019s how a barrel of crude goes \u201cmissing\u201d in the data. Last year, the IEA estimated that on average the world produced around 1.9 million barrels a day more crude than there was demand for. Of that crude, 770,000 barrels went into onshore storage while roughly 300,000 barrels were in transit on the seas or through pipelines. That left roughly 800,000 barrels a day unaccounted for in the data. Global oil supply is about 96 million barrels a day.\nOil Jumps After Latest Output Freeze Meeting \"News\" --One of the most farcical instances of report-it-then-promptly-deny-it headline hockey since last summer\u2019s Greek bailout drama has been the incessant barrage of \u201cnews\u201d surrounding the oft-celebrated oil output freeze deal struck last month by the Saudis, Qatar, Venezuela, and Russia. At the time, the market was hoping against hope for an agreement to cut production. After all, Russia and Saudi Arabia are pumping at record levels. As we put it at the time, \u201cit was not exactly clear how \u2018freezing\u2019 output at a record level will \u2018stabilize and improve\u2019 the market.\u201d Still, this market will take what it can get at this point and since the \u201cagreement\u201d on February 16, prices have indeed risen and some of the gains have - rightly or wrongly - been attributed to the \u201cfreeze.\u201dCasting a pall over the entire thing is Iran who, having just begun to ramp up production after the lifting of international sanctions, isn\u2019t particularly excited about the prospect of taking its foot off the pedal. Asked about participating in the freeze, Oil Minister Bijan Zanganeh said last week that Tehran should \u201cjust be left alone,\u201d until production reaches 4 million b/d. At that point, Zanganeh says, \u201cwe will join them.\u201dOf course that\u2019s a non-starter for the likes of Kuwait, whose own oil minister Anas al-Saleh recently warned that his country will \u201cgo full power\u201d if everyone (and \u201ceveryone\u201d includes the Iranians) isn\u2019t on board with the deal. On Monday, Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak spoke with Zanganeh on the phone and once the call was over, indicated that Moscow \u201cunderstood\u201d its ally in Tehran\u2019s position. \u201cSince Iran\u2019s production decreased under sanctions, we totally understand Iran\u2019s position to increase production and revive its share in the global markets,\u201d Novak said, adding that \u201cwithin the framework of major oil producers (OPEC and non- OPEC), Iran is liable to have an exclusive way for increasing its oil production.\u201d\nGlobal Oil Equation (Video) - Costs for servicing oil projects have pulled back considerably after a nice decade of price spikes, but oil servicing costs are going to rise again, necessitating higher oil prices to justify capital allocation behavior. There is no cure for low prices like low prices when the globe utilizes around 95 million barrels of oil per day. Remember when oil spiked to $147 a barrel, well we were at 89 million barrels per day in global consumption. Global oil consumption is going to outpace the growth of global oil production over the next decade which is going to lead to a really tight oil market in the future.\nWTI Crude Slides Back Into Red For 2016 As The Fed And Oil Remain On Unsustainable Paths -- Oil prices have increased 50 percent since the lows exhibited earlier this year, a rise that is largely linked to the positive market reaction to the OPEC output freeze. But WTI Crude has given up all its early morning \"see oil is fixed\" gains in a hurry as once again the algo ramps give way to the realization that, as OilPrice's Leonard Brecken via OilPrice.com,notes, comes even as for all intents and purposes OPEC has nearly reached its production limits and Iran still plans in increasing output. What started the entire correction, in my view, was the carry trade on buying the Euro ahead of more quantitative easing (QE) and the Fed playing games by talking up a recovery and threatening to raise rates. That created a double whammy on a strong U.S. dollar beginning in the summer of 2014 when oil prices peaked. At the same time, U.S. producers did manage to ramp up output even further in the second half of 2014, at a time of rising inventories. By the first half of 2015 things began to self-correct as inventories began to fall. Oil prices started to make a recovery but reversed as OPEC flooded the market with more oil, which began in late 2014. Meanwhile the nuclear deal with Iran opened up the prospect of a new source of supply, a fact that was overhyped by the media.Demand remained strong for gasoline despite the weakening global economy, much to the media\u2019s surprise. Inventories rose in absolute terms, but in terms of days of supply, storage remained at much more modest levels, only eclipsing the upper end of the historic five-year range in 2016.\nCollapsing Contango Means Tankers Full Of Oil Such As This One Will Soon Have To Unload Their Cargo -- One week ago we showed something the oil bulls did not expect: oil producer hedging had started. As a trader cited by Reuters said \"Brent's flattening contango since January comes as many producers want to cash in immediately on recent price rises. They've been heavily selling 2017/2018 and beyond, and it shows that they don't quite trust the higher spot prices yet.\" He further explained that \"This means that even the producers don't really expecting a strong price rally until well into 2017 or later,\" and Reuters added that the companies that explore for oil and pump it out of the ground have been locking in price gains by selling off future output as a financial hedge, pulling down prices for those contracts. We will have more to say on the topic of producer oil hedging, and specifically how they do it, in a subsequent post but for now it is worth noting that since last week the contango has flattened further as the spot price rose while the long end declined, suggesting even more hedging has taken place in recent days. One analyst who notes this trend, is Saxo Bank's Ole Hansen who observes that the rally in oil prices to 3 month highs has coincided with narrowing contangos that alter storage economics and threaten oil flooding back into the market. The reason for this is that storing oil, either on the ground or on ships, becomes less profitable the greater the flattening in the contango. \"As we\u2019ve seen both Brent and WTI climb above $40 we have also seen the contango collapse.\" As examples, Bloomberg observes the WTI M1-M2 contango narrowing to earlier $1.25 today, the tightest since Jan. 22; while the WTI M1-M3 contango has reaches just $2.21, or the smallest in two months.\nUS rig count, at 476, is lowest in 67 years of record-keeping: Baker Hughes - The total US rig count, which on Friday stood at 476, is now at its lowest point ever in the 67-year history of the Baker Hughes numbers, according to data released by the oilfield service company. That is down by four from last week and down from 1,069 working the same week in 2015 and a recent peak of 1,931 in late 2014. The previous low was 488 in April 1999, Baker Hughes records show. Meanwhile, the US oil rig count posted its first gain in three months, rising by one to 387 amid speculation that a recent rally in crude prices could signal that a long-awaited industry turnaround may be at hand. The 387 oil rigs this week were down 53% from 825 the same week a year ago, and a recent peak of 1,607 in late 2014. Also, the Eagle Ford Shale in south Texas, one of the US' largest oil plays, gained three rigs this week to 40, although this was about a third of the 122 rigs employed there the same week in 2015, Baker Hughes data show. \"I think we're close to the bottom\" of the down cycle, analyst Kevin Simpson said, although he added he did not expect a pickup in drilling \"quite this early.\" \"Companies have obviously scaled their operations to a lower price than we are at now,\" and are cautiously watching US and international production and demand estimates for signs of market balance, Simpson said.\nCrude prices fall from 2016 highs as U.S. oil rig count rises | Reuters: Crude prices settled lower on Friday after the U.S oil rig count rose for the first time since December, renewing worries of a supply glut after an output freeze plan helped boost the market to 2016 highs and multi-week gains. U.S. energy firms this week added one oil rig after 12 weeks of cuts, according to data by industry firm Baker Hughes. The addition, coming after oil rigs had fallen by two-thirds over the past year to 2009 lows, showed crude drilling picking up again after a 50 percent price rally since February. [RIG/U] \"The rig count and crude prices have a direct relationship for sure,\" said Pete Donovan, broker at Liquidity Energy in New York. Brent crude finished down 34 cents, or 0.8 percent, at $41.20 a barrel, having risen $1 earlier to a 2016 high of $42.54. U.S. crude settled down 76 cents, or 1.9 percent, at $39.44, after also gaining $1 to a year high of $41.20.Despite the retreat, oil posted multi-week gains, with Brent up for a fourth straight week and U.S. crude a fifth week in a row. Both benchmarks rose about 2 percent this week. Over the past two months, prices rallied to reach above $40 after the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) floated the idea of a production freeze at January's highs.\nUS oil closes lower on profit-taking; rig count rises: Crude prices slipped on Friday after the U.S oil rig count rose the first time since December, renewing worries of a supply glut after an output freeze plan helped boost the market to 2016 highs and multi-week gains. U.S. energy firms this week added one oil rig after 12 weeks of cuts, according to data by industry firm Baker Hughes.

Brent crude was down 24 cents at $41.30 a barrel, having risen $1 earlier to a 2016 high of $42.54. U.S. crude for April delivery settled at $39.44 a barrel, was down 76 cents, or 1.89 percent, after gaining $1 earlier to a year high of $41.20. Despite the retreat, oil recorded multi-week gains. Brent was up for a fourth straight week and U.S. crude for a fifth week in a row. Global oversupply in oil pushed crude prices down from mid-2014 highs above $100 a barrel to 12-year lows earlier this year, bringing Brent to around $27 and U.S. crude to about $26.\nRigged: Declining US oil and gas rigs forecast job pain - Brookings Institution - Lower prices mean oil and gas producers have less capital to invest in exploration and production, which means in turn that they employ fewer rigs. Since local employment in oil and gas states is more responsive to changes in rig counts than to oil prices directly, rig counts offer a revealing augury of employment trends.What does the rig tally say? Oil field services company Baker Hughes reports that the number of U.S. oil and gas rigs plummeted from 1,811 in January 2015 to just 489 at the beginning of March\u2014down by 73 percent. North Dakota\u2019s March count was 80 percent lower than in January 2015, while Texas was down 73 percent. A study from Rice University has estimated that the employment impact of putting a drilling rig into service creates 37 jobs immediately and 224 jobs in the long run, once all the relevant multipliers are factored in beginning with oil service company hiring, machinery and fabricated metal work, engineering, and management employment and ending with grocery store and pharmacy spending. Another study has found that the removal of an active rig eliminates 28 jobs in the near-term and 171 jobs in the long run. If this holds true, then the loss of 1,309 working rigs since January 2015 has the potential to lead to the loss of anywhere between 224,000 to 293,000 drilling-related jobs over the long term.\nNorway's Oil Minister to Companies: Don't Shut Output - Oil companies operating in Norway should hike recovery rates from mature fields despite falling crude prices, and resist the temptation to shut output earlier than planned, Energy Minister Tord Lien said. \"Companies are obliged to maximise the value of each field to prevent profitable resources from being squandered,\" Lien of the right-wing Progress Party told Reuters on the sidelines of an industry conference. \"This is something we must focus on, and it is important to communicate to companies that they have an independent responsibility to follow up,\" he added. \"It's important to be clear on this from the government's side.\" Lien declined to say whether he was satisfied with the efforts currently made by energy firms in upholding production. Norway's oil output will drop to 1.53 million barrels per day in 2016 and 1.41 million in 2020 from 1.57 million in 2015. The NPD has previously said that if prices stay low it could accelerate a fall in crude production after 2020 if companies quit fields early or cancel the development of new projects. As part of its cost cutting effort, state-controlled Statoil last year postponed a decision on extending the lifetime of its Snorre field to 2040. The upgrade has been estimated to yield an additional 300 million barrels of oil.\n\"They Should Leave Us Alone\": Iran Wants No Part Of Oil Freeze Until Output Higher - On Tuesday, Kuwait's oil minister Anas al-Saleh delivered a rather stark warning to the rest of OPEC when he said the following about the much ballyhooed crude output freeze: \"I'll go full power if there's no agreement. Every barrel I produce I'll sell.\u201d That was a response to a question about what Kuwait would do if all major producers failed to agree to the freeze. Of course \u201call major producers\u201d includes Iran and having just now begun to enjoy the financial benefits of being free to sell its oil without the overhang of crippling international sanctions, Tehran isn\u2019t exactly thrilled about the idea of capping production at the current run rate of around 3 million b/d. As soon as sanctions were lifted, Iran immediately committed to boosting production by 500,000 b/d and said that by the end of the year, it would bring an additional 500,000 b/d of supply online. That would put Iranian production at around 4 million b/d total and, as we noted back in January, would mean the country will be raking in between $3 and $5 billion every month by the end of 2016.On Sunday, we got the latest from Iranian Oil Minister Bijan Zanganeh and the message was unequivocal: \u201cThey should leave us alone as long as Iran's crude oil has not reached 4 million. We will accompany them afterwards.\" So based on January\u2019s ouput of 2.93 barrels, we\u2019ve got a ways to go here. One can hardly blame Tehran. After all, the Saudis are producing at a record pace. So are the Russians. And so are the Iraqis. As Reuters writes, \u201csanctions had cut crude exports from a peak of 2.5 million bpd before 2011 to just over 1 million bpd in recent years.\u201d There\u2019s a lot of lost time (and money) to recover here and if everyone else gets to \u201cgo full power\u201d - to quote Anas al-Saleh - then Tehran thinks they should as well.\nIran petroleum sector says US companies welcome to invest (AP) \u2014 U.S. companies are welcome to invest in Iran\u2019s oil and gas industry, the Iranian oil minister said on Sunday. State-run Press TV quoted Bijan Namdar Zangeneh as saying that \u201cin general, we have no problem with the presence of American companies in Iran.\u201d He said it is the U.S. government that is \u201ccreating restrictions for these companies,\u201d without elaborating. Zangeneh also confirmed that Iran\u2019s state-run oil company has held talks with General Electric. \u201cOf course, my deputy conducted these negotiations and when I inquired about them, it was said that the talks were positive,\u201d he said. GE said in a statement responding to questions about the talks that it is considering possibly doing business in Iran. \u201cIn line with the easing of sanctions, we have begun looking at potential business opportunities in Iran, while fully complying with the rules laid out by the U.S. government,\u201d the company said. Are you a premium OilSocialNews.com subscriber?\u2026Start your 2 week trial now for just $1.00! The TV report said Zangeneh also asked Siemens executives to invest in Iran\u2019s oil and gas industry. \u201cThe German company must come to Iran to build equipment and parts needed in our oil industry and manufacture them here,\u201d he said. All sanctions related to Iran\u2019s nuclear program were lifted in January under a landmark agreement reached with world powers, but the U.S. maintains separate sanctions related to Iran\u2019s ballistic missile program and its support for State Department-designated terrorist groups.\nU.S. Judge Orders Iran To Pay $10.5 Billion To 9/11 Victims And Insurers -- A New York City judge has ordered the Islamic Republic of Iran to pay more than $10.5 billion in damages to the estates and families of victims of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. U.S. District Judge George Daniels issued a default judgment on Wednesday, March 9, 2016, ordering Iran to pay $7.5 billion to the estates and families of the people killed in the tragic 9/11 incident. The total of $7.5 billion includes $2 million to the estates of each of the victims for the pain and suffering endured by their relatives and $6.88 million in punitive damages, according to Bloomberg. Judge Daniels also ordered Iran to pay $3 billion to insurers, including Chubb Ltd., for losses incurred due to the payment of claims, such as property damages and business interruption, following the attacks. NY judge acquits #KSA in 9/11 case, rules against #Iran Read: https://t.co/YSJ1qES4W4 pic.twitter.com/Gmhwn15zBr. Daniels issued the default judgment after Iran failed to respond to the court summons to defend itself against allegations that the country was liable for damages because it helped the 9/11 terrorists. Judge Daniels\u2019 latest judgment comes after he cleared Saudi Arabia of liability to pay billions in damages to the families of the 9/11 victims last year. After attorneys representing Saudi Arabia argued in court that there was no evidence linking Riyadh to the attacks, Daniels ruled that Saudi Arabia had sovereign immunity and agreed that there was no evidence that Saudi Arabia provided \u201cmaterial support\u201d to the al-Qaeda terrorists.\nUS Government Blames 9/11 On Iran, Fines Iran $10.5 Billion; Iran Refuses To Pay -- On March 14th, Iran announced that it will never pay the $10.5B that a U.S. court demanded it pay for the 9/11 attacks. The same Bill-Clinton-appointed judge who had ruled, on 29 September 2015, that Saudi Arabia has sovereign immunity for 9/11 and so can\u2019t be sued for it, ruled recently, on March 9th that Iran doesn\u2019t have sovereign immunity and fined Iran $10.5 billion to be paid to 9/11 victims and insurers; but, on March 14, Iran\u2019s Foreign Ministry said Iran won\u2019t pay, because, as the Ministry\u2019s spokesman Hossein Jaberi Ansari put it, \"The ruling is ludicrous and absurd to the point that it makes a mockery of the principle of justice while [it] further tarnishes the US judiciary\u2019s reputation.\u201d The United States is allied with Iran\u2019s enemy Saudi Arabia, the largest purchaser of U.S.-made weapons, and also the top influence in the Gulf Cooperation Council of Arabic oil royal families regarding where they buy their weapons. Those purchases, which are crucial to the stockholders in Lockheed Martin and other U.S. weapons-makers, are determined basically by the Saud family, the owners of Saudi Arabia.\nSaudis Open to Oil-Production Freeze Without Iran \u2014Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and their allies would limit their oil output even if Iran doesn\u2019t follow suit, OPEC officials said, a change in tone that paves the way for curbs on crude production to be set next month. The evolving position emerged after Qatar said Wednesday that it would host a meeting on April 17 in Doha for oil producers both inside and outside the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, the cartel that controls a third of the world\u2019s crude production. The meeting would be a follow-up to a Feb. 16 pact among Saudi Arabia, Russia, Qatar and Venezuela to freeze their output at January levels in a bid to bring oil supply back in line with demand and raise prices that hit 12-year lows this year. On any given day, global oil supply of about 96 million barrels outstrips demand by almost two million barrels. Oil prices rose on Wednesday\u2019s announcement. Brent crude, the international benchmark, was up 78 cents a barrel, or 2%, at $40.17 in London trading Wednesday afternoon. Saudi Arabia and its allies in the Middle East had said any agreement would be off if Iran refused to participate, but oil prices as low as $27 a barrel this year have hurt the Saudi economy and put domestic political pressure on the kingdom to move forward anyway, OPEC officials said. Iran\u2019s refusal is \u201cnot a deal beaker,\u201d said an OPEC official from a Persian Gulf Arab country. An agreement would have limited impact if it didn\u2019t include Iran, the world\u2019s seventh-largest oil producer trying to ramp up its output now that international sanctions have ended. Iran\u2019s oil minister, Bijan Zanganeh, has said his country won\u2019t consider joining until its production reaches four million barrels a day, up from about 3.2 million barrels a day currently. Mr. Zanganeh had initially expressed support for the freeze without committing to it. But after Saudi oil minister Ali al-Naimi appeared to insist at a Houston conference last month that Iran join the cap, Mr. Zanganeh publicly attacked the deal as \u201ca joke\u201d and said other producers should \u201cleave us alone.\u201d\nEmergency Meeting; Iran Problem Solved; Moving From Production Freeze To Out-Right Cut -- March 17, 2016: one SeekingAlpha contributor is calling this an emergency meeting with this summary:\na Saudi source confirms emergency meeting\n15 OPEC and non-OPEC producers to attend\nthe Iran \"problem\" appears to be solved\nproducers' talk can support prices\nthey may even try for a cut to get relief\nThat was posted yesterday. Two key words. The first \"key word\" was \"emergency.\" I can't disagree. The Mideast moves extremely slowly; the next regularly scheduled OPEC meeting is this June; they easily could have waited. June is but a few months away and they could always have done things \"behind doors\" but now, all of a sudden, April 17th.Second \"key word\": did you all catch that? Up until now it's been all about a \"production freeze.\" All of a sudden we see the word, \"cut.\" And as noted on the blog the last couple of days, \"the Iran problem appears to have been solved.\" I think the contributor is posting with a bit of hyperbole, along my lines (LOL) but it's getting very, very interesting.\nHow Saudi Arabia Turned Its Greatest Weapon on Itself - FOR the past half-century, the world economy has been held hostage by just one country: the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Vast petroleum reserves and untapped production allowed the kingdom to play an outsize role as swing producer, filling or draining the global system at will. The 1973-74 oil embargo was the first demonstration that the House of Saud was willing to weaponize the oil markets. In October 1973, a coalition of Arab states led by Saudi Arabia abruptly halted oil shipments in retaliation for America\u2019s support of Israel during the Yom Kippur War. The price of a barrel of oil quickly quadrupled; the resulting shock to the oil-dependent economies of the West led to a sharp rise in the cost of living, mass unemployment and growing social discontent. [...]Then, in 2011, Prince Turki al-Faisal, the former chief of Saudi intelligence, told NATO officials that Riyadh was prepared to flood the market to stir unrest inside Iran. Three years later, the Saudis struck again, turning on the spigot. But this time, they overplayed their hand. When Saudi officials made their move in the fall of 2014, taking advantage of an already glutted market, they no doubt hoped that lower prices would undercut the American shale industry, which was challenging the kingdom\u2019s market dominance. But their main purpose was to make life difficult for Tehran: \u201cIran will come under unprecedented economic and financial pressure as it tries to sustain an economy already battered by international sanctions,\u201d All the evidence suggests that Saudi officials never expected oil prices to fall below $60 a barrel. But then they never expected to lose their sway as the swing producer within the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, or OPEC. Despite wishful statements from Saudi ministers, the kingdom\u2019s efforts last month to make a deal with Russia, Venezuela and Qatar to restrict supply and push up prices collapsed.\nExclusive: Saudi Arabia orders 5 percent cut in contract spending | Reuters: Saudi Arabia's government, its finances strained by low oil prices, is opening a fresh austerity drive by ordering ministries to cut their spending on contracts by at least 5 percent, a document seen by Reuters shows. The spending cuts could further slow economic growth in the world's top oil exporter and hurt the construction industry, where many companies are struggling with deteriorating cash flow and rising labor costs. The document, sent by the central government to all ministries and state bodies, instructs them to reduce the value of outstanding contracts signed to support their operations, as well as construction contracts included in the 2016 state budget, by \"not less than 5 percent of remaining obligations\". It says these measures were proposed by the minister of economy and planning to \"rationalize spending and increase its efficiency\", and were approved by the king. Officials of the ministry could not immediately be reached for comment. The document leaves ministries to decide how contracts should be revised to make the required savings. It does not explain how the ministries should renegotiate contracts with their suppliers. Another clause in the document forbids ministries and government bodies from signing any contracts without the approval of the finance ministry. Previously, senior officials could agree small contracts without approval.\nSaudi Arabia launches austerity drive to cut public spending - Saudi Arabia\u2019s government, its finances strained by low oil prices, is ordering ministries to cut their spending on contracts by at least 5%, a document seen by Reuters shows.

Previously, senior officials could agree small contracts without approval. The Saudi government ran a record budget deficit of nearly $100bn last year and has been seeking ways to narrow the gap. It is laying plans to boost non-oil revenues with taxes, but that will take years to have much impact, leaving spending cuts as the main way to bring state finances under control.\nThe petrodollar fragility is out there - Izabella Kaminska - It was not too long ago that analysts and economists were arguing that core petrodollar states, such as Saudi Arabia, would be able to withstand a longstanding reversal in the oil price even as weaker petrodollar states such as Venezuela and even Russia took notable hits. Not so much any more. From Moody\u2019s on Wednesday (our emphasis): We have changed our outlook for the Saudi Arabian banking system to negative, from stable. The change reflects the credit implications of our revised global oil price forecasts, which we expect to be lower for longer. It also captures new fiscal measures initiated in December by the Saudi government to tackle its rising budget deficit. The negative view reflects our expectation that the economic slowdown driven by the plunge in global oil prices and by government spending cuts will weigh on the Saudi banking sector over the next 12-18 months, although we expect banks will remain resilient, given their strong risk metrics. While credit growth will slow, loan performance will soften, and liquidity will tighten, we nevertheless expect the banks to continue to generate solid profits and maintain high capital buffers. At issue, Moody\u2019s notes, is the 14 per cent reduction in public spending announced by the Saudi government for 2016 and the new spending priorities being put in place: With the prospect of lower oil prices for longer and a fiscal deficit projected at around 15% of GDP in 2016, credit risks associated with a prolonged weakening environment have also risen. We believe the government may become increasingly selective in its spending priorities. This, in turn, would contribute to a more pronounced decline in business confidence and economic growth than currently foreseen in our baseline scenario.Whilst Moodys doesn\u2019t put it this way, the other core issue is access to petrodollar liquidity and a changing perspective on whether distressed banks should always be state supported, meaning the government\u2019s willingness and capacity to support banks in case of need should no longer be taken for granted.\nNew Guard Rises in Saudi Arabia as Oil Crisis Forces Rethink -- After a year of plunging oil prices, all eyes were on Ibrahim Al-Assaf, Saudi Arabia\u2019s finance minister for two decades, to deliver a budget that could restore confidence in the kingdom\u2019s finances. Yet it was Adel Fakeih, economy minister for just eight months, who strode onto a shiny green television set to announce spending cuts and subsidy reductions. Another familiar face missing that day was oil minister Ali Al-Naimi, whose words continue to move global crude markets as they have since 1995. Changes to domestic energy prices were explained by Khalid Al-Falih, chairman of Saudi Arabian Oil Co. and health minister. The lineup at the end of December was one of the first signs of a shift in power to officials seen closely aligned with King Salman\u2019s influential son, Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, as Saudi rulers confront a harsh new era of lower crude prices. With many of the new policy makers holding private-sector resumes, their mission is to overhaul one of the world\u2019s most generous welfare systems through measures that were unthinkable a decade ago. The world\u2019s largest oil exporter can no longer rely on \u201cthe old way of doing things,\u201d said Fahad Nazer, who worked at the Saudi embassy in Washington and is now a political analyst at JTG Inc. \u201cThe economic and demographic challenges to the kingdom are too great, and they need to be resolved and confronted and addressed forcefully and quickly.\u201d\nQuiet Support for Saudis Entangles U.S. in Yemen\u2014 Adel al-Jubeir, Saudi Arabia\u2019s urbane, well-connected ambassador to Washington, arrived at the White House last March with the urgent hope of getting President Obama\u2019s support for a new war in the Middle East. Iran had moved into Saudi Arabia\u2019s backyard, Mr. Jubeir told Mr. Obama\u2019s senior advisers, and was aiding rebels in Yemen who had overrun the country\u2019s capital and were trying to set up ballistic missile sites in range of Saudi cities. Saudi Arabia and its Persian Gulf neighbors were poised to begin a campaign in support of Yemen\u2019s impotent government \u2014 an offensive Mr. Jubeir said could be relatively swift. Two days of discussions in the West Wing followed, but there was little real debate. Among other reasons, the White House needed to placate the Saudis as the administration completed a nuclear deal with Iran, Saudi Arabia\u2019s archenemy. That fact alone eclipsed concerns among many of the president\u2019s advisers that the Saudi-led offensive would be long, bloody and indecisive. Mr. Obama soon gave his approval for the Pentagon to support the impending military campaign. A year later, the war has been a humanitarian disaster for Yemen and a study in the perils of the Obama administration\u2019s push to get Middle Eastern countries to take on bigger military roles in their neighborhood. Thousands of Yemeni civilians have been killed, many by Saudi jets flying too high to accurately deliver the bombs to their targets. Peace talks have been stalled for months. American spy agencies have concluded that Yemen\u2019s branch of Al Qaeda has only grown more powerful in the chaos.\nUnited Nations Warns ISIS in Libya Is Growing --The UN Security Council is worried about Libya\u2014and rightly so. As we noted in February, the country has seen a doubling of Islamic State forces in recent months, and ISIS has expanded its control of territory, including Sirte, the home city of deposed leader Muammar al-Qaddafi. In a UN-issued report this week, the Security Council noted the Islamic State\u2019s growing capacity, which has been buttressed by a flow of foreign fighters from places like Sudan, Tunisia, and Turkey. The development hasn\u2019t gone unnoticed by the United States, which last month killed dozens of ISIS fighters (and two Serbian hostages) in airstrikes on a training camp. Ironically, the Libyan branch of ISIS, which grew largely from local militias in the failed state, is now promoting itself as the most credible defenders of Libya from outside forces, even as it absorbs fighters from abroad. \u201cISIL has been spreading a nationalistic narrative,\u201d the UN report noted, \u201cportraying itself as the most important bulwark against foreign intervention.\u201d In the vacuum left by the U.S.-led intervention, the United Nations and a host of countries have been pushing Libya\u2019s two governments and myriad competing militias to put aside their differences and help stabilize the country and its economy. Earlier this year, the head of Libya\u2019s national oil company estimated the country had lost nearly $70 billion in potential revenue from petroleum exports because of the fighting.\nIndia's Oil Demand On Verge Of \"Take-Off\" -- Oxford Institute For Energy Studies -- March 15, 2016 --The article: India's Oil Demand: On the Verge of 'Take-Off' -- from The abstract: In this new era of slower Chinese growth, a new contender has emerged: India, which in 2015 was the main driver of non-OECD oil demand growth. In this paper we argue that in addition to the boost from low oil prices, structural and policy-driven changes are underway which could result in India's oil demand \"taking off\" in a similar way to China's during the late 1990s, when Chinese oil demand was at levels roughly equivalent to current Indian oil demand. These changes include: a rise in per capital oil consumption (reflected in rising motorization of the Indian economy), a massive program of road construction (amounting to 30 km/day), and a push towards increasing the share of manufacturing in GDP by 2022 (which could increase oil consumption by at least a third based on a conservative linear estimate). This paper also examines the implications of a take-off in domestic demand for India's recently acquired status as a net petroleum product exporter Some data points:\nIndia, not China, is now driving non-OECD oil demand growth\nworld demand growth is at its strongest since 2010 -- remember, this report was released this month; mainstream media would have us believe global demand (because of China) for crude is oil is declining\ngrowth demand in 2015 was independent of stimulus (although the 50% fall in oil prices provided a significant boost to consumer demand)\nChina is slowing down; the new kid on the block looking for growth: India\nIndia is soon likely to overtake Japan as the 2nd-largest oil consuming economy in Asia\nIndia's GDP growth is estimated to have overtaken China's in 2015 (7.2% vs 6.9%)\nIndia's history of oil demand for the past decade suggests a pattern consistent with countries at relatively early stages of income and development\nthe upsurge in India's oil demand growth in 2014 and 2015 suggest that \"something is going on\"\nIndia in driver's seat as fuel demand roars at fastest rate ever | Reuters: Three hours east of New Delhi, in the village of Piplera, recently married Abhilekh Swami has stopped to refuel his first automobile, a Hyundai hatchback, at an Indian Oil filling station. Late model SUVs and Mercedes also ply the potholed roads and dusty lanes of the small gathering of dwellings in Uttar Pradesh. Swami, 28, an accountant with a private company, said he is averaging about 2,000 kilometres a month in the vehicle he bought last August, mostly for commuting to work, shopping and visiting relatives. Hundreds of thousands of Indians, spurred by cheap credit and rising incomes, are buying cars each month to free themselves from creaky, unreliable public transport. This is expected to help push India ahead of China as the energy demand growth leader, with its total fuel consumption rising by a tenth to a record in the fiscal year-to-date. Underpinned by annual economic growth of 7-8 percent, India's fuel demand is seen as a key oil price support over 2016-2017, eating into a supply overhang that has pulled down global crude as much as 70 percent since mid-2014. India has already pipped Japan as the world's third-largest oil consumer. By 2040, India will have more than doubled its current oil use to 10 million barrels per day (bpd), according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), about on par with China's consumption last year.",

        "raw_content": "Apple CEO Cook Defends Move to Censor Chinese Apps\nTim Cook, chief executive officer of Apple Inc.\nApple CEO Tim Cook has been a staunch advocate for civil rights, and even keeps a picture of Martin Luther King Jr. in his office. So it\u2019s probably not surprising that Cook is a little defensive about a recent decision by Apple to go along with a repressive computer policy in China.\nIn recent days, Apple pulled a number of apps from its app store in China that could be used to circumvent China\u2019s Internet censorship laws. Known as virtual private network, or VPN, apps, the programs let iPhone and iPad users mask their origins from the \u201cGreat Firewall of China\u201d and thereby access sites banned by the government and better shield their communications from surveillance.\nOn Tuesday, Cook said Apple had no choice but to remove the VPN apps.\n\u201cWe would obviously rather not remove the apps, but like we do in other countries, we follow the law wherever we do business,\u201d Cook said on a call with analysts to discuss quarterly financial results. \u201cWe strongly believe in participating in markets and bringing benefits to customers is the best interest of the folks there and in other countries as well.\u201d\nIn a column published earlier on Tuesday, New York Times tech columnist Farhad Manjoo called out Apple for caving to the Chinese censorship demands. Conceding that Apple was probably forced to remove the VPN apps, Manjoo concluded that \u201cApple\u2019s quiet capitulation to tightening censorship in one of its largest markets is still a dangerous precedent.\u201d\nCook also went on to explain why he thought the situation in China was quite different from the standoff between Apple and the FBI last year over decrypting information on an iPhone used by a terrorist in San Bernardino.\n\u201cSome folks have tried to link it to the U.S. situation last year\u2013they\u2019re very different,\u201d Cook said on the analyst call. \u201cIn the case of the U.S., the law in the U.S. supported us. It was very clear. In the case of China, the law is very clear there.\u201d\nBut Apple (aapl) did state its point of view in China \u201cin the appropriate way,\u201d Cook added. That has not, at least so far, included any public criticism of the Chinese demand, or even more drastically, pulling out the country in protest.",

The church of St. Michael is an edifice of stone in the Norman and Early English styles, with modern additions, and consists of chancel, nave, north and south chapels, south porch and a massive embattled western tower containing a clock and 6 bells, 3 of which, dated 1660, were recast in 1870, when 3 more were added; the chancel retains a piscina and aumbry, and on either side the communion table is a stone bracket supporting a rudely gilt candlestick of wood; the 15th century rood screen of carved oak also remains, and over it are the ten commandments finely written and dated 1615; but the chancel stalls, also of oak, are modern; the pews in general appear to be of Jacobean date; the chancel doorway of red sandstone is a fine example of Norman work and is enriched with dog-tooth ornament; on the north side of the chancel is the Plowden chapel, which contains a stone altar of the pre-Reformation period, and many floor stones inscribed to the Plowden, Dormer and Stonor families; the Walcot chapel on the south side, is apparently of the same date, but has been modernised\nand has a chamber over it, formerly used as a schoolroom; the chapel has several pews attached to the Walcot estate, in which yet remains various prayer books stamped with the name of Robert, baron Clive, of Plassey K.B. the celebrated governor-general of India, who once held this manor, and died here November 22, 1774; there are also memorials to the Walcot family, to the Baroness de Ferri\u00e8res, who died at Totterton in 1845, and the families of Ambler and Wright; the font is Norman; there is a memorial window to the wife of George Harley Jenkins, of Bishop\u2019s Castle. The register dates from the year 1563. The living is a vicarage, average tithe rent-charge \u00a3363, net yearly value \u00a3290, including 47 acres of glebe, with residence, in the gift of the Earl of Powis, and held since 1886 by the Rev. Augustus Field M.A. of Clare College, Cambridge. The Catholic chapel, dedicated to St. Walburga, about three-quarters of a mile from Plowden Hall, was erected in 1868, by the late W. H. F. Plowden esq. and has a residence for the priest attached; the Very Rev. Monsignor Edward Slaughter is in charge of the mission. Here is also a Primitive Methodist chapel built in 1872. The charities are of the yearly value of \u00a336 10s. arising from land left in 1787 by the Walcot family. Bury Ditches, situated on Tangley Hill, about 2 miles from the village and occupying an area of about 16 acres, are supposed to indicate a British encampment; the lines of encampment, which are very clearly marked, consist of three nearly circular earthworks, much obscured however by the dense overgrowth of trees and underwood. There is a free library of 400 volumes, established in the year 1856 by the late Countess of Powis for the benefit of those residing in the parish and neighbourhood. Walcot Park is the occasional residence of Earl of Powis; the mansion is a building of brick surrounded by a park of 1,000 acres; it contains a fine collection of paintings and Indian curiosities collected by the great Lord Clive, whose son, 2nd Lord Clive, was created Earl of Powis. Plowden Hall, the seat of William Francis Plowden easq. D.L., J.P. is an ancient half-timbered building of the Elizabethan and Jacobean periods, and has been the seat of the Plowden family since the 11th century; the mansion contains a large collection of family portraits by Vandyke, Sir Peter Lely and other eminent painters; the library includes some rare books, and there are also some fine examples of ancient tapestry, ecclesiastical vestments, and other articles, including a chalice veil once belonging it is said to St. Thomas of Canterbury; the domestic chapel has some rare engrav- engravings of the \u201cBeatitudes;\u201d in the house are two \u201chiding places,\u201d used during the Civil war.

Fusion is totally committed to its carers\nand ensures they are not alone when they foster. Someone is always at the end of the phone, day or night, to support our foster carers. I believe that this individualised approach enables foster carers to do their job more effectively and achieve more positive outcomes for the children in their care. I would describe working for Fusion as being part of an extended family, which is how many of our fost\ner carers feel. It is very rewarding to see children settled with foster carers through a thorough and robust matching system. Personally, I love seeing children being allowed to reach their potential in the right environment as well as prepare them for independence. The key aspect of enabling this is to ensure the foster carer\u2019s needs are also considered so that they feel fully supported.\nSally Payne,\nAfter thirty years of working in different areas of the Care Sector \u2013 both public and private, with various client groups of both adults and children \u2013 I landed in fostering. To me, fostering embodies all that is good in people; ordinary people with their own busy lives and own birth children, who are able to extend themselves to welcome another person\u2019s child or children into their homes and their hearts. Children in care, through no fault of their own, have to live away from their family of birth and deserve to receive the very best of care and attention. Thankfully, when I eventually landed, it was with Fusion. Fusion Fostering have the highest of standards and ensure that all their foster carers are fully supported at all times. Nobody will tell you that fostering is easy, but it is extremely rewarding. I am happy to be part of the Fusion family, and I look forward to working with you if you decide to come on our journey with us.",

        "raw_content": "The double Nakba\nA nice article by Irwin Cotler on the 800,000+ Jewish refugees from Arab countries..here's his nine point proposal to rectify the situation...\n\u2022 First, it must be appreciated that while justice has long been delayed, it must no longer be denied. The time has come to rectify this historical injustice, and to restore the plight and truth of the \"forgotten exodus\" of Jews from Arab countries to the Middle East narrative from which they have been expunged and eclipsed these 60 years.\n\u2022 Second, remedies for victim refugee groups - including rights of remembrance, truth, justice and redress, as mandated under human rights and humanitarian law - must now be invoked for Jews displaced from Arab countries.\n\u2022 Third, in the manner of duties and responsibilities, each of the Arab countries - and the League of Arab States - must acknowledge their role and responsibility in their double aggression of launching an aggressive war against Israel and the perpetration of human rights violations against their respective Jewish nationals. The culture of impunity must end.\n\u2022 Fourth, the Arab League Peace Plan of 2002 should incorporate the question of Jewish refugees from Arab countries as part of its narrative for an Israeli-Arab peace, just as the Israeli narrative now incorporates the issue of Palestinian refugees in its vision of an Israeli-Arab peace.\n\u2022 Fifth, on the international level, the UN General Assembly - in the interests of justice and equity - should include reference to Jewish refugees as well as Palestinian refugees in its annual resolutions; the UN Human Rights Council should address, as it has yet to do, the issue of Jewish as well as Palestinian refugees; UN agencies dealing with compensatory efforts for Palestinian refugees should also address Jewish refugees form Arab countries.\n\u2022 Sixth, the annual Nov. 29th commemoration by the United Nations of the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People should be transformed into an International Day of Solidarity for a Two-State Solution - as the initial 1947 Partition Resolution intended - including solidarity with all refugees created by the Israeli-Arab conflict.\n\u2022 Seventh, jurisdiction over Palestinian refugees should be transferred from UNWRA to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. There was no justification then - and still less today - for the establishment of a separate body to deal only with Palestinian refugees, particularly when that body is itself compromised by its incitement to hatred and violence, as well as its revisionist teaching of the Mideast peace and justice narrative.\n\u2022 Eighth, any bilateral Israeli-Palestinian negotiations - which one hopes will presage a just and lasting peace - should include Jewish refugees as well as Palestinian refugees in an inclusive joinder of discussion.\n\u2022 Ninth, during any and all discussions on the Middle East by the Quartet and others, any explicit reference to Palestinian refugees should be paralleled by a reference to Jewish refugees from Arab countries.\nAl-Qaeda's Plan B\nThe neurosis of global warming...\n\"Fuck You\" gets you marks in English class\nA short video on global warming...\nDutch firms cave in to Islamists...\nThey even regulate birthday card distribution in S...\nCap & Trade; carbon taxes just won't work...\nCO2 output to increase by 50%....\nCould you imagine if a man had done this???\nBiofuels increase poverty...",

        "raw_content": "Meeting in NY, a majority of the Disney shareholders approved the deal after only 8 minutes, with the package including Fox's 39 percent stake in the European pay TV company Sky which Comcast is still pursuing. Disney responded with a counter of $71.3 billion, a mix of cash and stock, dealing what ended up being the finishing blow to Comcast. I want to thank all of our executives and colleagues for their enormous contributions in building 21st Century Fox over the past decades.\nDisney's $71.3 billion acquisition of Twenty-First Century Fox's entertainment division is one step closer after shareholders approved the deal Friday.\nOnly time will tell how Disney plans to make use of Fox's assets, but based on the former's acquisitions of other major entertainment studios, significant changes could be coming to the way Fox does business in the future. \"With [all of our executives and colleagues\"] help, we expect the enlarged Disney and new \"Fox' companies will be pre-eminent in the entertainment and media industries\".\nAdditionally, in the agreement, Fox shareholders will get $38 Dollars per share in either cash or shares of New Disney, a new holding company that will become the parent of both Disney and Fox. Disney already owns ESPN.\nTo satisfy the taste buds of the VIP and A-list guests, catering is being looked after by Foodlink Banquets and Catering. The highlight of the evening was Laduree, the French luxury bakery and candies maker house known for their macarons.\nFinal voting tallies from the 21st Century Fox and Disney special meetings are subject to certification by the companies' respective inspectors of elections, and will be included in reports to be filed by 21st Century Fox and Disney with the Securities and Exchange Commission.\nThe deal will not only give Disney Fox's film and TV studio assets, including several key franchises like Fantastic Four, The Simpsons and X-Men, but it will also gain a couple of cable networks, including National Geographic and FX, as well as a 30 percent stake in Hulu.\n21st Century will keep Fox News, Fox Sports and the Fox broadcasting network as a separate company. In 2017, Disney's Buena Vista held a dominant 21.8% of the movie market share, while 20th Century Fox held 12%.",

        "raw_content": "Right to Rest Festival\nA wondrous event took place on the steps of the Denver Capitol on February 2nd. Denver Homeless Out Loud (DHOL), a volunteer organization working to amplify the voices of homeless people, organized the event to kick off a campaign for the Colorado State Legislature to pass a Right to Rest Act to protect all people\u2019s rights to use public spaces. The event attracted several hundred homeless people who came all the way from Fort Collins, Boulder and surrounding Denver suburbs --as well as from Denver itself.\nThis festival was one of eight actions which occurred during Martin Luther King Jr celebrations, supporting Right to Rest Acts being introduced in Colorado, California and Oregon state legislatures. Denver is working alongside the Western Regional Advocacy Project to get bills passed in these states.\nThe event included musical performances, speeches, plays, break dancing, banner and button making, postcard-writing, and food. It involved conversation, mingling of supporters who dropped in and out, and many important interactions. Over 25 people took the microphone to describe how their lives have been impacted by the criminalization of homelessness and why legislation is needed to end this harmful trend.\n\u201cI think everybody should have the right to sleep even if they are homeless,\u201d said Angie, a formerly homeless young adult who volunteers with the Prax(us) organization. \u201cI\u2019m tired of being treated like an animal just because I may look homeless or be homeless. It gets tiring\ngoing from place to place just to find some place to sleep. I support the Right to Rest Act.\u201d\n\u201cWe need to work together, the homeless and the housed,\u201d said Charles, a homeless artist.\nOther speakers included bill sponsors Representative Joe Salazar and Senator John Kefalas,\nsupporter Representative Joann Ginal, DHOL members, City Council-At-Large candidate Jeffrey Washington, and Mayoral Candidate Chairman Seku.\n\u201cThis issue should be near and dear to all of our hearts,\u201d said Rep Salazar. \u201cWe are all our brothers\u2019 and sisters\u2019 keepers, and there\u2019s not a single person that we should leave behind. This is my moral and spiritual conviction.... I\u2019m looking to charge forward really hard on this bill, and I hope you\u2019re standing right alongside of me.\u201d\nThe gathering was passionate, peaceful, accurate, thoughtful--one which infused all who attended with a spirit of hope, solidarity and community. In short, it was a unique event in Denver -- one which should give momentum to the legislature\u2019s consideration and passage of a Right to Rest Act for the state of Colorado.",

I can't forget anything from my best experience ever at GLI. I remember that it is the best place to learn many things besides English as a second language. Many skills I learned from the faculty. However, the most interesting day at GLI was when we celebrated St. Patrick's Day. That was very awesome actually because I have never heard of it before, so I needed to read about it.\"\nMubarak's advice to anyone who wants to learn English is, \"Stay away as much as you can from somebody who is from your country or who speaks your mother language! You need to use the opportunity of being at GLI smartly. Hence, you need to talk to new people either inside or outside GLI. Also, you should live with an American homestay family in order to practice even more when you finish your day at GLI. The most important advice to you is to focus with teachers, do your homework, sign your name for tutoring, and sign your name for activities. Then I promise you that your English will be perfect shortly, and you can pursue your dreams in the future!!\"\nAlumnus of the Week March 6, 2017:\nRodrigo Quintaros, Brazil\nRodrigo Quintaros is from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

        "raw_content": "BATTLE OF THE BRAINS: GOOGLE LEADS IN THE RACE TO DOMINATE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE / THE ECONOMIST\n| Etiquetas: Artificial Intelligence, Google\nGoogle leads in the race to dominate artificial intelligence\nTech giants are investing billions in a transformative technology\nCOMMANDING the plot lines of Hollywood films, covers of magazines and reams of newsprint, the contest between artificial intelligence (AI) and mankind draws much attention. Doomsayers warn that AI could eradicate jobs, break laws and start wars. But such predictions concern the distant future.\nThe competition today is not between humans and machines but among the world\u2019s technology giants, which are investing feverishly to get a lead over each other in AI.\nJob fairs now resemble frantic \u201cThanksgiving Black Friday sales at Walmart\u201d, says Andrew Moore, dean of Carnegie Mellon University\u2019s (CMU) school of computer science, a pioneering institution in AI (whose robotics department was famously plundered by Uber in 2015). Academic conferences, such as this week\u2019s Neural Information Processing Systems in Long Beach, California, double up as places to shop for talent. The best recruiters are academia\u2019s AI celebrities: people like Yann LeCun of Facebook and Geoffrey Hinton of Google\u2014both former professors who keep a university affiliation\u2014can attract others to work alongside them. Proprietary data can also serve as a draw, if the huge salaries are not enough.\nThe intense battle for talent may force secretive companies to become more open. \u201cIf you tell them, \u2018come work with us but you can\u2019t tell anyone what you\u2019re working on\u2019, then they won\u2019t come because you\u2019ll be killing their career,\u201d explains Mr LeCun, who leads Facebook\u2019s AI research lab. This trade-off between secrecy and the need to attract people also applies to the Chinese giants, which are trying to establish Western outposts and hire American researchers.\nBaidu has opened two research labs with an AI focus in Silicon Valley, in 2013 and this year.\nWestern AI researchers rate them highly but prefer to work for the American giants, in part due to their relative transparency.\nThe advantages of AI are most visible in firms\u2019 predictions of what users want. Automated recommendations and suggestions are responsible for around three-quarters of what people watch on Netflix, for example, and more than a third of what people buy on Amazon. Facebook, which owns the popular app Instagram, uses machine learning to recognise the content of posts, photos and videos and display relevant ones to users, as well as filter out spam.\nIn the past it ranked posts chronologically, but serving up posts and ads by relevance keeps users more engaged.\nArtificial intelligence is also being applied in the corporate world. David Kenny, the boss of Watson, IBM\u2019s AI platform, predicts that there will be \u201ctwo AIs\u201d: companies that profit from offering AI-infused services to consumers and others which offer them to businesses. In practice, the two worlds meet because of the tech giants\u2019 cloud-computing arms. Providers are competing to use AI as a way to differentiate their offerings and lock in customers. The three largest\u2014Amazon Web Services, Microsoft\u2019s Azure and Google Cloud\u2014offer application-programming interfaces (APIs) that provide machine-learning capabilities to other companies.\nMicrosoft\u2019s cloud offering, Azure, for example, helped Uber build a verification tool that asks drivers to take a selfie to confirm their identities when they work. Google Cloud offers a \u201cjobs API\u201d, which helps companies match jobseekers with the best positions.\nWHITHER THE MULTILATERAL TRADING SYSTEM? / PROJECT SYNDICATE\n| Etiquetas: Free Trade, Free Trade Agreements, Trade\nWhither the Multilateral Trading System?\nBRUSSELS \u2013 Free trade seems to have few supporters these days. Though actual trade volumes are recovering from the post-crisis recession and drop in commodity prices, \u201cglobalization\u201d has become increasingly contentious, as exemplified by the election of US President Donald Trump on the back of a promise to rip up international agreements and get tough on trade partners. What does this mean for the future of the rules-based trading system?\nSome 60 years ago, when the current rules-based global trading system was conceived, the United States was the world\u2019s sole economic \u201chyperpower,\u201d possessing unquestioned dominance in the day\u2019s most advanced manufacturing industries. With enough power to impose rules, and enough dominance to be able to count on accruing the largest share of the benefits, it could \u2013 and did \u2013 perform the role of \u201cbenevolent hegemon.\u201d\nAs Japan and Europe recovered from World War II \u2013 with the latter getting an added boost from economic integration \u2013 America\u2019s lead began to dwindle, and by the 1970s and 1980s, the US was sharing power over the world\u2019s trade agenda with Europe. Nonetheless, because the US and Europe share so many common interests, they generally adhered to a cooperative approach.\nIt was not until imports began to overwhelm a growing number of industries in the US, fueling the emergence of large and persistent external deficits, that the country\u2019s trade policy became more defensive, creating friction with many of its partners. Yet, even then, US leaders understood the value of the liberal multilateral trading system, and supported the establishment, in 1995, of the World Trade Organization as the successor to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade.\nThe WTO\u2019s creation amounted to a major step forward, as it addressed not just tariffs, but also other trade barriers, including indirect barriers arising from domestic regulations. Given the complexity of assessing how domestic regulations might impede trade, especially compared to judging whether a tariff has been correctly applied, the WTO needed effective dispute-settlement mechanisms, with members agreeing to binding arbitration. The system worked, because its major members recognized the legitimacy of independent panels, even if they sometimes deliver politically inconvenient judgments.\nYet this recognition is now increasingly in doubt. Consider what type of economy would support a rules-based system. After WWII, the US supported such a system, because of its unassailable economic supremacy. An open rules-based system would also be highly appealing in a world comprising only small countries, none of which could hope to gain by relying on its relative economic power.\nThings become more complicated when the global economy includes a small number of economies of similar size, larger than the small economies from the previous example, but not large enough to dominate the system alone. That is the scenario the Nobel laureate economist Paul Krugman considered in a 1989 paper on bilateralism, in which he reported that a world consisting of three major trading blocs constitutes the worst constellation for trade, as a lack of explicit cooperation among all three would lead to increasing trade barriers.\nUnfortunately, this is exactly the situation in which the global economy finds itself today. There are three dominant economies or trading blocs \u2013 China, the European Union, and the US \u2013 with very similar trade volumes (exports plus imports) of around $4 trillion each. (Japan, which was a strong contender 25 years ago, now has a much smaller trade volume.) Together, the G3 economies account for 40% of world trade and 45% of global GDP.\nWith economic power distributed in this way, explicit cooperation by all three actors is crucial. Yet there are compelling reasons why they would be reticent to pursue such cooperation.\nEven if Trump weren\u2019t president, the current global trading system would present problems for the US, whose trade policy has long focused on manufactured goods. (Trade in raw materials has always been relatively free, and trade in agricultural goods has usually been considered special, and thus not subject to rules like the \u201cmost favored nation\u201d principle, which applies to manufactures.)\nBecause the US is now self-sufficient in energy, it needs to export fewer manufactured goods than industrialized countries with no domestic energy resources. Annual US exports of manufactured goods thus now amount to only about $1 trillion annually \u2013 significantly less than both the EU and China, which export almost twice as much in manufactured goods, despite having somewhat smaller economies.\nTo be sure, Trump is unlikely to start an outright trade war, because any US tariff would harm the interests of the country\u2019s largest companies, which have invested huge sums in production facilities abroad. Yet no individual firm will be willing to give up much of its political capital to defend the rules-based system, either, because it would have to bear the losses, while its competitors shared the gains. The same goes for the G3 trading blocs: if the EU expends political capital to stop the US from undermining WTO mechanisms, China (and the rest of world) will reap most of the gains.\nThat dynamic goes some way toward explaining why China\u2019s leaders, despite having proclaimed their support for the multilateral rules-based trading system, haven\u2019t taken concrete action to reinforce it. Their reticence is probably intensified by the assumption that, within the current generation, their country will dominate the global economy; at that point, they might no longer want to be bound by somebody else\u2019s rules.\nIt does not help matters that the Communist Party of China has recently been empowered even further in all areas of the economy, with all major firms now having to accept a CPC representative on their board. It is difficult to see how a dominant economic power governed by a single party \u2013 especially one with such extensive control over the economy \u2013 would accept the primacy of international rules and procedures over domestic considerations.\nThe conclusion is clear. The world should prepare itself for the erosion of the rules-based trading system enshrined in the WTO.\nHOW RISING DEFICITS, HUGE LOOPHOLES AND SMALL FAMILY GAINS PLAGUE TAX REFORM / KNOWLEDGE@WHARTON\n| Etiquetas: Government Current Account Deficits, Inequality, Tax and Economics, U.S. Economic And Political\nHow Rising Deficits, Huge Loopholes and Small Family Gains Plague Tax Reform\nTax legislation speeding through Congress not only will increase the deficit and provide meager gains for most low- and middle-income groups, it may also open up huge loopholes for businesses to sidestep taxes, says Kent Smetters, Wharton professor of business economics and public policy, and faculty director of the Penn Wharton Budget Model (PWBM). \u201cThe additional growth we project is only about one-ninth of the growth that would be required for this tax plan to actually pay for itself.\u201d And when the White House Council on Academic Advisors says that the proposed tax changes will raise yearly family income $4,000- $9,000 on average, Smetters calls such claims \u201cpolitical statements. No credible model produces that result.\u201d\nIn this Knowledge@Wharton interview, Smetters offers a sweeping analysis of the tax proposals\u2019 key points and how they would affect business, consumers, and income distribution and wealth, based on PWBM\u2019s simulator. \u201cThe big winners are going to be the tax lawyers,\u201d Smetters notes. \u201cRight now there are just massive loopholes in the Senate version\u2026.\u201d His biggest short-term concern is too little time before the Christmas deadline to close them. The legislation \u201c\u2026 is basically going revert to pre-1986, where if you had serious money coming in, you could always figure out how to avoid paying taxes. Before 1986, lawyers literally advertised, \u2018If you make more than a million dollars a year, we\u2019ll figure out how to permanently defer your tax bill.\u2019\u201d\nKnowledge@Wharton: This is the biggest tax bill in 30 years. It\u2019s been pushed through with a lot of details left out, which has been confusing for many. The public has had a tough time understanding what\u2019s in it. What\u2019s more, there\u2019s a House version, a Senate version and ideas are being floated for a compromised reconciliation version. Still, some broad outlines at least are in focus. On one side, critics say that tax changes would increase the deficit \u2014 the cuts don\u2019t pay for themselves, in other words, and would do little to increase economic growth. On the other side, the claim is the tax changes will boost economic growth, and thus family incomes, cause companies to hire more workers, and overall boost the middle class. What does the model show?\nSmetters: Overall, the Penn Wharton Budget Model predicts that the additional growth will be very small, just because of how the tax plan is designed. [The PWBM is a robust nonpartisan, online, interactive budget-modeling simulator.]\nWe show that by 2027, the GDP will only be about 0.3 to 0.8 percentage points larger. That\u2019s like going from a 2% annual growth rate to a less than 2.1% percent annual growth rate. More importantly, the additional growth that we project is only about one-ninth of the growth that would be required for this tax plan to actually pay for itself. And so we\u2019re very far away from having a tax plan that pays for itself through these macroeconomic effects.\nI should point out that things can get even worse after 10 years. D.C.\u2019s focus on this 10-year window is very misleading. When you get beyond 10 years you might think, well the tax plan has kind of kicked in a bit more, [there\u2019s] more opportunity for it to get better. It\u2019s actually worse after 10 years. The reason: Since it\u2019s not paying for itself, the debt keeps building up. That debt build-up kicks in even more after 10 years. We predict by 2040 that basically the GDP is unchanged, and in fact it could be a little bit smaller than on their current policy.\nKnowledge@Wharton: What\u2019s the bottom line for business?\nSmetters: There are a couple of things in there. There\u2019s a reduction of the corporate tax rate. We\u2019ll see what it ends up with. Right now the target is to go from 35% to 20%. It\u2019s unclear if they are going to be able to literally keep it at 20%, because of some of the revenue issues. Especially on the Senate side, there are particular rules \u2014 the Byrd Rule \u2014 that they have to worry about. But that\u2019s the current target.\nThere is an increase in what\u2019s called expensing. That is to allow companies to depreciate their assets against their tax bill at a quicker rate than they currently are \u2014 in fact, to do it all immediately. Of those two effects, economists are much more excited about the expensing approach than cutting rates, simply because expensing focuses on new investments. With both of these plans, however, they have very limited expensing. They only focus on equipment, and then the expense supervisions are only temporary; they only last for a couple of years.\nKnowledge@Wharton: And for individuals?\nSmetters: It depends kind of where you are. The various tax rates will come down, there will be fewer tax brackets. There may or may not be something at the high end still that has a higher tax rate for higher income earners around what we see today. They are still debating some of that. But for most people, the tax rates are going to come down.\nBut there will be a loss of various deductions. On the one hand, the standard deduction is going to go up, so a lot of lower-income people are going to be helped by that. But then for a lot of people living in California, New York, New Jersey, they\u2019re going to be losing likely at least part, if not all, local income and property deductions.\nIt looks like under the current agreement they will be able to still deduct their first $10,000 worth of [taxes], but if you are actually in California or New Jersey or New York, which by the way are blue states that the administration is less sympathetic with \u2014 they are going to definitely be paying more.\nKnowledge@Wharton: For lower- and middle-income groups, the tax brackets will drop a little bit, and they might save a little bit. Is it a material increase and will it matter either to them or to the economy at large?\nSmetters: No, we\u2019re finding very little impact on the economy at a large \u2014 and when we talk about what\u2019s the impact on the person, it really comes down to: Who is that individual? The Wall Street Journal today just launched a simplified version of our tax model. You can go to the Wall Street Journal website. Our actual tax model has hundreds of inputs, but it\u2019s boiled down to just nine inputs in the Wall Street Journal so obviously this is an approximation, it\u2019s simplified.\nNonetheless, it captures the salient features of things like state and local deductions, child credit \u2014 which is a big one \u2014 and things like that. You can go on there and get a guesstimate of what your taxes are today, and what they will be, at least under the House plan right now, and then we\u2019ll do it again with the reconciled bill.\nKnowledge@Wharton: Some analysts suggest that the tax rule changes strongly favor the top 1% of earners, and especially the top 0.1%. One analysis even notes that in 2027, when individual tax cuts fall away, more than half of the benefits would have gone to the top 1% of income earners.\nAt the same time, the PWBM model shows that under the new tax regime there would be no significant change to the level of progressivity of the tax code. Those earning the most will pay a percentage of total taxes very similar to what they pay today \u2014 and for those earning at other levels, it would also be similar. So how does all of that fit together?\nSmetters: That\u2019s the big issue of trying to convey this to a media that wants sound bites. Generally speaking, unfortunately, in this tax-reform debate, the big picture is how good analysis has taken a back seat. Proponents of tax reform \u2014 I used to call them conservatives, but conservatives used to believe in fiscal discipline, that you actually pay for tax cuts like we did in 1986 \u2014 are basically making up growth numbers.\nNo legitimate model says, when it\u2019s calibrated to the actual tax plan, that this tax cut is going to pay for itself. But the opponents, I think it\u2019s still safe to call them \u2026 liberals, they\u2019re basically also making up numbers. I call it click bait when it comes to distributional impact. Whether it\u2019s the 1% or the top 10%, they\u2019ll talk about how these guys make more from this tax plan than the bottom 50%. But this of course ignores the fact that the richest 10% in the country are already paying more than 60% of the country\u2019s tax bill to begin with.\nSo when you start with a very progressive tax system, even a proportional change is going to look like it\u2019s the top people that are making out. Well that\u2019s because they, in fact, paid most of it to begin with. What happens is that for the left, the click bait is who actually gets most of the benefit from this tax bill, ignoring who actually pays the taxes to begin with. And we just don\u2019t think that\u2019s a legitimate analysis.\nOne simplified number that\u2019s still legitimate to look at is tax shares. And for that you simply ask: What is the share of taxes that are being paid by these different income groups, and how does that change? Well, one of the important findings of our model is the share of taxes paid by the top 1%, which is more than a quarter of the nation\u2019s taxes right now, and the top 10%, which pays more than 60% of the nation\u2019s taxes \u2014 those shares even under current law will go up over time. And the reason why is the different features of the tax code known as \u201creal bracket creep\u201d and some other features that will actually increase their shares over time.\nFor the most part, what this tax plan does on the distributional side, it kind of resets it, such that by 2040 the top 1%, the top 10% are going to basically have the tax shares that they have today. Yes they will win for a little bit \u2014 it\u2019s not going to be perfectly smooth \u2014 but for the most part, it\u2019s just basically preserving the tax shares over time.\nKnowledge@Wharton: For those who thought this might do something for the issue of income inequality, it doesn\u2019t change it one way or the other.\nSmetters: Yes, this is basically a tax plan where the growth numbers aren\u2019t great \u2026 those are embellished by the proponents, and the distributional impacts are greatly embellished by the opponents. This is an embellished debate on both sides.\nKnowledge@Wharton: Does the model look at wealth measurements?\nSmetters: Yes. For the most part the increase in wealth by people is fairly proportional to their progress via the tax code. And so it\u2019s not surprising that if you look at the percentage change in wealth, for low income households, 50% of households in the United States have no meaningful savings outside of Social Security for retirement, for example. And so there is very little nudge going on with them; when you give them a tax cut, they immediately spend the money. They are what we called borrowing constrained. So it\u2019s not surprising that those who are not borrowing constrained are going to save more of that money and invest it and so forth. So you definitely get what looks like increase in wealth inequality, but again we\u2019re talking about a smidgen \u2014 it\u2019s not a big one.\nIf in fact Congress were really concerned about this, there\u2019s a so-called twofer here in terms of economic growth and even distributional wealth. And that is: Focus less on rate cuts on the corporate side and focus a lot more on expensing of new investment. Cutting rates doesn\u2019t just reward new investment; it rewards all the investments that have already been made and that will be subject to tax. Focusing your deficit dollars much more narrowly on the expensing rewards purely new investment.\nExpensing is more of a stimulus, and it\u2019s less of a reward to current shareholders.\nKnowledge@Wharton: Business taxes are to be reduced from 35% to 20%. Will companies bring home a lot of the $2.5 trillion they have kept overseas and take advantage of these lower rates? And if so, how much might they bring home? What are they going to do with it? Are they going to invest it? Are they going to pay down debt, give most of it to shareholders, buy back their own shares, hire more workers?\nSmetters: It\u2019s unlikely in the long run that we\u2019re going to see big changes. What we\u2019re talking about is more temporary changes. Under both the House and the Senate version of the bill right now, all of those foreign earnings \u2014 that $2.5 trillion sitting offshore \u2014 would be considered to be automatically repatriated. What that means is tax is due. But it\u2019s a tax due at a special rate; it\u2019s going to be due at 10%. And even then it can be paid over many years \u2014 it\u2019s not all going to be due at once.\nSo under current law the big issue is that those earnings are not subject to the U.S. corporate tax until they are repatriated and brought back into the country. And there are some Clinton-era loopholes that allowed for that exploitation. So these plans were basically to say all of that is now repatriated automatically regardless of where it is. You pay a 10% rate, we would give you many years \u2014 likely a decade to pay that 10% rate. So we will see some money coming back that artificially was sitting offshore.\nWhat will happen with that money? That is a big debate that\u2019s going on now. But it\u2019s likely that some of it will be paid out in higher dividends, some of it will be paid out in stock repurchases and some of it will likely be invested. We don\u2019t think the investment channel is going to be nearly as big as some people will say, and the reason why is that there are already some ways of clever financing.\nFor example, Microsoft and a lot of the other companies that have a lot of big money offshore, they\u2019re smart, and they don\u2019t pay a dividend with that offshore money because that would be tax inefficient. They actually float new debt to pay a dividend already today. And so they\u2019re not really constrained right now in making the investments that they otherwise would want to make in the United States. So for the most part, this repatriation \u2014 most of that money is going to go to shareholders in the form of dividends and repurchases.\nThe real issue is: What\u2019s going to happen in the long run? In the long run, after this one-time reset, you\u2019re still going to have the same problem. Yes, the U.S. corporate rate will be lower.\nBut it\u2019s not going to be low enough to stop this problem on new money earned offshore because it\u2019s still going to be cheaper to do the double-IRS /Dutch sandwich inversion and all of the other fancy techniques.\nAnd by the way, these tax bills as currently written have enormous loopholes, tax-avoidance schemes. They are kind of aware of it. They\u2019re trying to rush and fix some of these things, but it\u2019s almost impossible to figure this all out before the end of the year. You really need months of talking with tax attorneys to figure out all of these things.\nKnowledge@Wharton: So it could be law easily before we really have any serious idea of what the results will be?\nSmetters: That\u2019s right.\nKnowledge@Wharton: Two questions about what we\u2019re talking about there. One is: Corporate debt levels are pretty high right now. Do you think this will lead to a pay down of some of that debt since they won\u2019t be financing themselves in quite the same way?\nSmetters: Corporate debt levels are high in countries like ours that allow you to deduct the interest on that debt. It\u2019s completely tax arbitrage. It\u2019s not that companies are suffering for capital to invest and so forth. Sometimes you hear about debt being cheaper than equity. That\u2019s kind of loose language; it\u2019s cheaper because it\u2019s more tax efficient.\nAnd so we have this big skew towards debt in the United States. A lot of people don\u2019t realize the corporate debt market in the United States is bigger than the stock market \u2014 it\u2019s a huge, huge market \u2014 because with over-the-counter trading, it\u2019s not as visible. You don\u2019t see the index like you do the Dow on your newsfeed and so forth.\nThese bills are going to limit some of the interest deductibility \u2014 but again that, as I read the tea leaves, will likely be temporary. And so it\u2019s also not completely eliminated. It\u2019s just some limitation. So you should start to see some skew away from debt just for that reason, but I don\u2019t think it\u2019s going to be dramatically connected to the repatriation issue.\nKnowledge@Wharton: So in general, do you see a big change in corporate strategy or tactics for these big multinationals and how they manage their far-flung empires, because in the end this tax change will be a wash?\nSmetters: For the first decade it\u2019s going to look like big changes because of this one-time repatriation. But over time, if you are a larger firm, you are still going to be pretty smart in keeping that money offshore. And the reason why that happens is because of this decision that was made to move towards what\u2019s called a territorial tax.\nAnd the problem with that is there are some advantages relative to our current tax system \u2014 which is known as the worldwide tax system, but it\u2019s not as integrated with the rest of the world the way what\u2019s called a destination tax is integrated, which was part of the 2016 House GOP bill. That destination tax would have created much more integration and removed those distortions for the most part.\nThat was not very popular with Walmart and some other companies that were basically claiming that imports would become more expensive and so forth. There was a lot of misunderstood economics \u2014 that\u2019s a debate that economists lost because we didn\u2019t articulate it very well, but nonetheless because of that lack of integration there will still be good tax arbitrage for companies locating offshore.\nKnowledge@Wharton: What items does the model suggest bring the most benefits to companies and to the economy overall?\nSmetters: For the most part it is the small move toward expensing on just capital equipment \u2013 that did [increase] the speed at which you can do depreciation, but it\u2019s not full expensing. Those are the things that tend to give you the most kick. The reduction in rates is actually much smaller, because hypothetically, if we went to full expensing, then the reduction in rates actually does nothing for new investment, because you\u2019ve already essentially eliminated the tax on new investment.\nThe reduction in rates only rewards existing investments. It\u2019s a complete wealth giveaway at that point. The big power comes from expensing. Those are the big lessons from our model, and these lessons weren\u2019t adhered to. If you really were trying to have a very pro-growth result, you can get big growth if you just went to full expensing of all tangible and intangible capital expenditures \u2014 that means capital equipment, structures and so forth.\nIf you went to a really integrated international tax system like a destination-based tax, and you actually \u2014 like in 1986 [when the last major tax reform occurred] \u2014 paid for the tax reform, you made it basically revenue-neutral on a static basis, that means that on a dynamic basis net of growth you\u2019re actually going to have more revenue. Now why do you actually want to have more revenue? Because we\u2019ve got this massive amount of debt, and this debt is increasing as far as the eye can see.\nWe\u2019re almost approaching World War II levels of debt. We\u2019re not quite there yet, but we\u2019re getting there. But with World War II that debt came way down afterwards \u2014 the war was over, the economy had grown, we were rebuilding the world, and so forth. Now, as far as the eye can see, we\u2019re on this escalating debt path.\nAnd by being able to pay some of that down, using the dynamic effects to pay some of that down, that\u2019s where you get a nice big kick as well to stimulate capital investment. So those are the real three main ingredients: full expensing, integrated international tax with a destination-based tax, and then being revenue-neutral on a static basis and using the additional growth to pay down debt.\nKnowledge@Wharton: None of which are in the current legislation.\nSmetters: Well, a smidgen of the expensing, but not the other stuff, that\u2019s right.\nKnowledge@Wharton: The White House Council of Economic Advisors says that corporate tax reform will increase the average family income $4,000-$9,000 a year. The PWBM suggests only a small amount of increase in labor income and GDP. How do you see the two reconciling or not reconciling?\nSmetters: Let me put it this way: No model out there, even models that I disagree with, or that are being made by [Republican] proponents of the tax reform [show that]. Keep in mind, I am a Republican who was appointed in the Bush administration \u2014 this is not some liberal guy talking to you here. [Smetters was policy coordinator \u2014 deputy assistant secretary \u2014 for the U.S. Treasury under President George W. Bush.]\nIn fact, my previous academic work is some of the most cited for these pro-growth effects of tax reform. But all of those models are looking at very stylized tax changes that are revenue-neutral, that incorporate those things that I just talked about, that are very pro-growth. Any model that has actually looked at this current tax bill, not some stylized example of this academic work that\u2019s been done in the past, has not found anything close to it paying for itself. Even models I disagree with, that ignore the debt effects, have not found that impact.\nAnd so when the Council of Economic Advisors [projected] a $4,000-$9,000 increase, that is based on \u2014 it turns out \u2014 not just really stylized models, but also some studies that weren\u2019t even focused on the federal tax system. They were focused on arbitrage between some state tax systems. And so they are political statements; no credible model produces that result.\nKnowledge@Wharton: What are some of the most important things for businesses to know about this, and for consumers to know about all of this?\nSmetters: The bottom line is, don\u2019t get too excited. The growth effects are going to be modest. For consumers, individual tax payers, it really comes down to your details. Where do you live? And what is your income range? How many kids you have?\nFor businesses \u2014 yes, you\u2019re going to have lower rates; you will have this one-time repatriation, especially for the larger businesses. [There will be] some exploitation of \u2014 I mean that in a positive way \u2014 increasing investment through expensing and so forth.\nThe biggest concern, generally, that I have on the business side is the big winners of this are going to be tax lawyers. Right now there are just massive loopholes in the Senate version, which literally is part handwritten. You can see the bill, and there are parts of it that was voted on that were handwritten, to get some votes at the last minute.\nSo, it has huge problems that even the Republicans acknowledge \u2013 big problems and big loopholes. The biggest immediate concern I have is that between now and Christmas, we\u2019re trying to give a Christmas gift to the White House of getting this tax bill done, and it is just not enough time to figure out all of these loopholes. And so there might be enormous unintended consequences.\nThe corporate AMT [alternative minimum tax] is an example here. It wipes out all of the value of the development and research credit, and some other credits. It\u2019s just a mistake. Republicans acknowledged it was a mistake in the Senate bill. And then there\u2019s all of this tax arbitrage \u2013 tax-avoidance schemes, tax-abuse schemes, and so forth.\nKnowledge@Wharton: Examples?\nSmetters: There are transactions that you can do, this gets really in the weeds, but using what\u2019s called foreign related parties, which are basically not necessarily a fully owned subsidiary, but anything that you have a 25% or more interest in. There are ways of basically making payments to them and they give you a loan back, and it\u2019s going to avoid the potential for what\u2019s called base erosion in these schemes.\nDon\u2019t get me wrong, I\u2019m not a tax lawyer, but I\u2019m listening to the tax lawyers, and they\u2019re basically saying there are enormous opportunities here. And they say it, by the way, not giddily \u2014 they\u2019re not excited about this. They\u2019re saying, \u201cHoly cow, there are just big tax base erosion schemes here.\u201d\nAnd normally how this works is, like in 1986, you get all of the tax lawyers, all of the experts \u2014 you have a process incorporating all of that\u2026. Just the fast-tracked [nature] of this is what is very perplexing for everybody.\nKnowledge@Wharton: It sounds, based on these potential enormous loopholes that you mentioned, that if anything your estimates for the deficit could be much higher?\nSmetters: We incorporate pretty sizeable, what\u2019s called income shifting and reclassification. Those are the big ones where some empirical studies have calculated what\u2019s called elasticity, to figure out how much of that is going on. We have those in our estimates; in fact, the PWBM score for the Senate plan, when the JCT [Congress\u2019s nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation] came out with their dynamic score a couple of weeks later, only differed by $3 billion over 10 years. We\u2019re talking about a $3 trillion annual deficit; we\u2019re talking about revenue loss of more than a trillion dollars over 10 years.\nWe got there in different ways. But on the House side we differed quite a bit, and the reason why is because we believe that the base erosion is much bigger than what the JCT has accounted for. They also allow for what is called income shift, and that\u2019s across periods, that income reclassification, that exploits differences in tax rates even within a period. They allow for that \u2014 we believe they undercounted it.\nAt the PWBM we have the person who was the [Treasury Department\u2019s] Office of Tax Analysis\u2019s expert on income shifting and pass-throughs and income reclassification \u2014 he\u2019s now with us full time. He\u2019s generally considered the leading expert in this area. And we believe that the official Congressional numbers on this are underestimating that.\nBack to your point: If anything we are still underestimating [the amount of deficit increase] because we are just talking about income shift and reclassification. There are potentially even much bigger schemes here that just take that stuff, put them on steroids \u2014 clever schemes that lawyers will figure out that we haven\u2019t even incorporated yet.\nKnowledge@Wharton: So the unknowns are probably going to result in an even higher deficit?\nSmetters: Yes. If anything, all of the assumptions that we make are pro-growth. That\u2019s the irony about it. I could go into a whole list of assumptions that we\u2019re making, that if anything bias us upwards in terms of growth. But nonetheless, the downsides are basically a much bigger potential for deficits.\nThere is nothing in there where we say, okay maybe that will just eat away at the deficit that will have the unintended consequence in the positive direction. We just don\u2019t. Tax lawyers are good at figuring out how to reduce your tax bill, not figuring out how they increase their voluntary tax bill. The irony about this is that the 1986 reform \u2014 which economists left and right, across the political spectrum \u2026 all basically agree was a good tax act \u2014 broadened the base, got rid of a lot of loopholes\u2026. We all pretty much agree that 1986 was a class model kind of tax reform. It simplified a lot of things, was pro-growth, revenue-neutral on a static basis, so you got your growth really kicking in.\nWhat this is going to do, at least as currently written \u2026 is basically revert to pre-1986, where if you had serious money coming in, you could always figure out how to avoid paying taxes.\nBefore 1986, lawyers literally advertised, \u201cIf you make more than a million dollars a year, we\u2019ll figure out how to permanently defer your tax bill.\u201d\nTHE EXCITING GROWTH STORY BEHIND A BUBBLE REQUIRES RESPECT / THE FINANCIAL TIMES COMMENT & ANALYSIS\nThe exciting growth story behind a bubble requires respect\nBitcoin price is following the classic pattern of an investment mania\nIf not truly anarchist, the demand for bitcoin reflects a radical and global breakdown of trust in existing institutions \u00a9 Getty\nInvestment bubbles must be respected. They do not come from thin air, but rather from a reality that has been misperceived.\nThis is a truth that springs from the most famous bubbles of the past. Internet stocks, canals, railroads and motor cars all had a great future ahead of them when they were at the centre of bubbles. A brief bubble in ethanol in 2006 grew out of an increasing global preoccupation with climate change and the search for alternatives to fossil fuels. Bubbles in Japan in 1989 and China in 2007 grew out of two of the most extraordinary stories of economic growth in history.\nIn all cases, there was an exciting growth story to be told, but the growth was in the future and impossible to value with any confidence in the present. Greed swamped fear as people saw prices rise. But the reality was positive, just misperceived.\nSo what exactly is the misperception that is driving the mania for bitcoin? And is that misperception diverting money from other assets, and creating what the hedge fund manager Diego Parrilla calls an \u201canti-bubble\u201d in a new book?\nSome basic facts for those lucky enough to avoid the excitement: bitcoin is a revolutionary form of digital money that allows transactions on decentralised computer networks. Money resides in your own computer \u201cwallet\u201d, not in a bank\u2019s ledger. It is protected with state of the art cryptography.\nSince its introduction almost a decade ago, bitcoin has spurred the most impressive burst of entrepreneurial activity since the first wave of investment in the worldwide web. There are now many other cryptocurrencies, while different entrepreneurs are working to expand the concept to contracts and even to journalism.\nOnly the resolutely unimaginative could fail to be excited by the technology. As with the internet two decades ago, its potential to be transformative is evident. But this does not necessarily extend to the price of bitcoin itself. As the dotcom bubble proved, even the most exciting long-term technology can also inflict grievous long-term losses on you if it gets sufficiently overvalued.\nBitcoin has already enjoyed two extreme bubbles. During 2013, when it gained almost 5,500 per cent. Now it is doing it again, and causing intense excitement.\nWonderful though the technology could well be, there is no possible valuation scheme that would justify raising its price fivefold through the first 11 months of this year, and then another 70 per cent in the last week. Price is following the classic pattern of an investment mania.\nWhy? A big part is that the technology is so exciting. But there is more to this than paying far too much for stock in Cisco Systems, as people did in 2000.\nIt would make sense if this were part of a broader loss of confidence in fiat currencies. Central banks have continued easy monetary policy since the crisis in a bid to prop up asset prices and spark activity. Stocks look blatantly overvalued. Bonds look even more so. Art has never fetched such big prices. The bitcoin is only an absurd appendage to what is already a \u201cbubble in everything\u201d.\nThus bitcoin might be seen as a bet against rampant asset price inflation, and an attempt to protect against a forthcoming implosion as higher interest rates finally lead the financial house of cards to collapse. But that does not explain everything. Gold is up about 10 per cent for the year. That is less than the growth in stocks, and it has been falling during the latest overdrive phase in bitcoin.\nRather, bitcoin mania can be attributed to broader social conditions. Demand is greatest in the countries of the Pacific Rim, with South Korea, Taiwan, Japan and China all trying to curb extreme interest in trading the currency. Especially in China, demand reflects a distrust in governments, and not just in their currencies.\nThis also seems to be true of demand for bitcoin in the US, where backers seem keen to go far beyond doing without banks or central banks. They seem far more interested in cutting governments out of the equation altogether. If not truly anarchist, the demand for bitcoin reflects a radical and global breakdown of trust in existing institutions.\nDecentralised technology plainly permits this possibility. But it is horrifying that people find the notion appealing. Computer networks, we now know, are easily attacked. Cryptography helps, but there are weak points when people enter and leave the blockchain system. Thursday brought news of a major theft of bitcoins. In a decade or so, quantum computing may well be able to sweep aside the best current defences.\nMeanwhile, most governments around the world are democratic and derive their legitimacy from elections. But trust in democracy itself seems so low that putting trust in wholly unelected developers seems more appealing. The bitcoin craze can take its place with the various shocking election results of the last few years as a symptom of a breakdown in trust in western institutions \u2014 and also of frustration in Asia with the institutions that have guided growth there.\nSo, with bubbles in bitcoin to go with bubbles in stocks and bonds and cash, where are the \u201canti-bubbles\u201d that Mr Parrilla was seeking? Given the desperation for a store of value, gold might be one of them. He also suggests that volatility and insurance against it are now far too cheap. One final possibility may be that there is an anti-bubble in government. Faith in the ability of governments to do anything that helps anyone seems to be reaching a crisis point \u2014 the rewards could be there for anyone who can demonstrate to people that their governments are working for them, and can deliver something.\nBATTLE OF THE BRAINS: GOOGLE LEADS IN THE RACE TO ...\nWHITHER THE MULTILATERAL TRADING SYSTEM? / PROJECT...\nHOW RISING DEFICITS, HUGE LOOPHOLES AND SMALL FAMI...\nTHE EXCITING GROWTH STORY BEHIND A BUBBLE REQUIRES...",

        "raw_content": "Headship, Women, Slaves and Violence\nIt\u2019s pretty hard for me to think about violence against women at the hands of men. I find the notion of violence truly disturbing and that hit, beat, maim and kill women are detestable.\nI also have little time for those who seek to find justification for maintaining the patriarchal model in society. The whole concept that women are somehow required to accept that the men are in control and they need to simply accept it, but it\u2019s OK, because we men folk will look after you and respect you, that I find ugly and unnecessary.\nI often find that fundamentalist religious people struggle with the whole equality notion. One in particular is David Ould, a fundamentalist Anglican Minister in charge of a small parish somewhere just outside of Sydney. We\u2019ve had dealings before.\nHe thinks that the \u2018headship\u2019 of a family is the right of a man. That\u2019s what the bible says, and his example is Jesus. It was Jesus who sacrified all for his \u2018bride\u2019, that\u2019s you and me, and we should follow that example.\nClearly David finds violence against women abhorrent; that\u2019s not in question here. He says he does and will intervene as part of his work. That\u2019s commendable.\nHowever, the patriarchal model is the cause of this scourge in our western society. Christianity has a lot to answer for, from the biblical perspective, and David sums it up well in his recent blog post where he highlights this passage from his \u2018gold standard\u2019 book:\nWives, in the same way submit yourselves to your own husbands\nHe explores a bit about the term \u2018in the same way\u2019 but in a nutshell this is referring to the previous chapter on slaves.\nSlaves \u2026 submit yourselves to your masters, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh\u2026 But how is it to your credit if you receive a beating for doing wrong and endure it? \u2026 To this you were called,because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.\nRead it to get the full context.\nTo any sane person the suggestion that a wife needs to submit to a husband and endure a beating is crazy talk and surely not appropriate. But there it is, in the bible. Of course, Christians like David insist that the man is to treat the woman with respect, based on this bit of text\nThese passages cause David to call into question the real meaning and he needs to do some verbal gymnastics to make it make sense in his world view:\nI find this incredibly challenging. What do those of us who want ourselves to submit to the Scriptures make of it?\u2026\nBut perhaps as we think these things through a little more we need to just stop and consider exactly what we\u2019re saying and who we are seeking to please when we say it.\nAgain, you need to read it to get the full context of his writing.\nI would have thought that the obvious answer to this is very straight forward. The words in the bible are out of touch with a modern world and have no right to be used by modern thinking men.\nThe whole \u2018headship\u2019 \u2018submission\u2019 and notion that it\u2019s all for Jesus is wrong. If we can accept that a slavery is wrong and a \u2018slave\u2019 has rights and that this passage has fallen by the wayside, then surely it\u2019s time to let go of the other ridiculous passages.\nDavid doesn\u2019t come out and say it, but makes the point that the wife needs to submit to her husband, as he is head of the house, like Jesus is head of the church. He uses the oft used symbol of Jesus as the groom and the church as the bride.\nThis little gem is the most repulsive bit of justification that I\u2019ve ever read:\nNone of this means we ought not seek to empower and help her if she chooses to remove herself from an abusive situation. But is it so wrong, was Piper so wrong, to suggest that her choice to submit might have a flavour of \u201cin the same way\u201d and that this might actually be a Godly wise choice?\nHow to balance that thinking with his earlier statement:\nAnd I think it says something incredibly shocking to all of us.\nYes, it is incredibly shocking. The problem for me is that after putting this all together, doing the verbal gymnastics, rather that decide to ditch the bible as an irrelevant book, he persists in maintaining it as the guide-book for how men and women should be.\nBy that justification fundamentalists get to maintain their power base of the patriarchy, women are not allowed to be priests, nor the head of the household, nor to tell their husbands what to do. They can choose to stay in a violent situation and the fundamentalist won\u2019t interfere and will probably just shrug their shoulders when death comes and say \u201cWhat could I do? At least she\u2019s in a better place now\u201d.\nNo matter how they try to read the words and give them meaning in a modern context, the words will be abused by others because at the end of the day the passage is quite clear. It says you as a woman need to submit and if that means a beating, then your only hope is that it\u2019s given with respect.\nWhile the Christians trip themselves up trying to work out the meaning, they miss the obvious thing right in front of them.\nGod should have said, with no need to check translations or go back to the old testament or a different book, \u201cIt\u2019s not OK to beat or kill your wife under any circumstances\u201d.\nWhy isn\u2019t that there in plain text for all the world to see? Because the bible is not the word of god, but simply the made up words of a bunch of men written long before a modern understanding of the dignity of each person. The words are either written or translated by men that think women are not equal and need to comply with the wishes of their husbands, because in their reality of 2,000 years ago (or whenever it was translated into English) the men with the dicks are in charge.\nTagged with: christianity \u2022 David Ould \u2022 family violence \u2022 living with the enemy\nSometimes I think I live in a cocoon and I feel oblivious to what\u2019s happening around me. I\u2019ve always been good at railing against the world, in my 20\u2019s I fought city people for the rights of rural people. City folk still have little comprehension of what its like over the Westgate bridge (and yes, I know some of you come from other directions) In my 30\u2019s I fought against the evils of religion, and in my 40\u2019s I fought for the rights of gay people.\nAll these things are very dear to my heart and perhaps core to my being.\nBeing \u2018homosexual\u2019 I\u2019m very aware of how awkward my sexuality makes me feel at times. Last night a good friend had to remind me that I was in a safe place and it was OK to dance with Michael. That was pretty amazing. I think we were the only same-sex couple in the room, it happens a lot. I am always self-conscious and careful about my actions and can feel quite uncomfortable when Michael wants to touch me or kiss me.\nThat fear is always there, I\u2019ve heard the word \u2018faggot\u2019 more times than I care to recall. Every time it scares the fuck out of me. Australia is a pretty safe place and I can keep myself safe by not outwardly showing my sexuality, not touching my husband, not kissing him, not telling him how much I love him out loud. I can suppress that. I should, shouldn\u2019t I? I mean if I hold hands while walking down the St Kilda foreshore on a Sunday night and a bunch of guys follow along behind laughing, and I catch words like \u2018homo\u2019 and \u2018faggot\u2019 all I have to do is pretend not to be gay and I\u2019ll be ok.\nOn the outside, if you see Michael and I getting around we just look like a couple of normal, regular blokes. If you see me alone, you wouldn\u2019t have any idea that I\u2019m gay. I don\u2019t have any of the stereo-type traits. Aren\u2019t I lucky.\nI am what appears to be to everyone else, a white, middle class Australian. I fit in. Mostly.\nI continue the fight for equality however, because I\u2019m still not fully fitting in. I really just want what everyone else wants. To be happy in my relationship and to express myself in a way that feels innate without living in fear.\nSome of you have just read this and are supportive. Thank you. Please help me to continue to bring happiness and joy to all, we all have a right to live in an Australia, in a world, free of intolerance and abuse.\nThere\u2019s another group of Australians that are constantly under threat.\nLast year a work colleague was killed by her husband. I don\u2019t know the full story, a man killed a woman. They were in a relationship. It happens a lot more than we care to think about.\nMy daughter won\u2019t walk home alone in the dark.\nAn American man goes on a killing spree because he\u2019s a virgin at 22 and he\u2019s going to make women \u2018pay\u2019.\nGeoff Shaw in the Victorian state parliament wants to wind back abortion laws.\nIt feels a lot like misogyny. It feels a lot like white male privilege.\nReally, it doesn\u2019t feel like that, it is misogyny based on white male privilege.\nIn her excellent article Clementine Ford said:\nWhy is it that one woman murdered every week in Australia by her partner or ex-partner is not considered a manifestation of the ongoing, ritualised hate crime that specifically targets women? Why must we be further insulted by having our anger explained away as irrational and misplaced? We know what pure, unadulterated misogyny is because we have felt its wrath; yet we\u2019re once again being told our instincts are wrong by people for whom such hatred can never be anything more than theoretical.\nWomen should be angry and they should be outraged and they should fight back. But wait \u2013 this isn\u2019t just their problem. It\u2019s my problem. It\u2019s our problem and its your problem.\nI am not a woman and I have no idea what it means to be a woman. The thought however that women don\u2019t feel safe means is unacceptable.\nWhen I had a recent discussion with family about a taxi company running women only taxis, driven by women for women, some of the men folk thought this was a good idea. It would keep them safe. Keep them safe from men who might harm them. Seriously? This is our response to male violence?\nOne woman is murdered every week in Australia by her partner or ex-partner.\nYep, violence happens against men too.\n\u201cwhere men were typically assaulted by a stranger, women most often experienced physical assault in the context of domestic violence.\u201d\nI\u2019d like to stop all violent behaviour. I don\u2019t get the need to use violence to get something you want, and like it or not, it\u2019s men who are doing the hitting. (I should also point out that just because you want something doesn\u2019t mean you get it \u2013 sometimes the answer is no and you simply have to respect that answer).\nVictoria Police Minister Kim Wells is on to it.\nMr Wells backed the creation of more task forces targeting crimes such as family violence and organised crime, but disputed that this would result in fewer frontline police.\n\u201cWhen people say there\u2019s going to be less police out on the frontline, that\u2019s completely and utterly wrong,\u201d he said.\n\u201cThis is about putting more police out on the frontline dealing with crimes such as family violence.\u201d\nDealing with\u2026family violence. Dealing with it? Come on, it needs more than just dealing with. Establishing a police task force is great initiative, but it\u2019s too little too late. By the time the police are involved it\u2019s already too late. Ken Lay, Victoria\u2019s Chief Commissioner of Police is on to it too:\nTheir multiple studies found that 1 in 3 women worldwide had been either physically or sexually assaulted. Linger on that statistic. It\u2019s appalling. Violence against women everywhere is very, very common.\nNow consider this: when we focus on the victim, there is an implicit suggestion that male violence is just something we should all put up with\u2014that it\u2019s some immovable cloud that hangs over society. Well, I don\u2019t think so.\nWe\u2019re never going to extinguish all violence. We can\u2019t create a utopia. And I\u2019m not suggesting that parents don\u2019t talk to their children about safety. What I\u2019m saying is that the emphasis on the victim is disproportionate and that\u2019s damaging because men aren\u2019t having hard conversations with each other.\nLet me get this straight. Violence is perpetrated by men. Men are causing harm to women because (some) men have a sense of entitlement to take what they want and expect women to provide it. The top cop in the state says \u201cViolence against women is very common\u201d and \u201cwhen we focus on the victim\u201d. We should have no doubt here, men are killing, hitting, bashing, causing harm, however you want to describe it. One woman a week is dying because of a man.\nWomen live in fear. Women have to put up with appalling behaviour of men because men have the privilege and they think they can get away with it, they think it is ok, society gives them approval. We blame the victim.\nEver heard this sort of talk?\n\u201cshe\u2019s playing hard to get\u201d\n\u201cshe was begging for it\u201d\n\u201cshe started out saying it was ok and I couldn\u2019t stop\u201d\n\u201cshe shouldn\u2019t dress like that\u201d\n\u201cwhat does she expect wearing that?\u201d\nI find it odd. I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s because I\u2019m gay, a SNAG (sensitive new age guy), a victim of childhood abuse or still reeling from the shock of my work mate\u2019s violent death. I think it\u2019s more likely that I just see something in the world that\u2019s not right and it\u2019s gotta stop.\nAn article that you must read by @clementine_ford \u2013 http://t.co/6yj8Wla7LU I'm lost for words \u2013 it has to stop #YesAllWomen\n\u2014 Gregory Storer (@gregorystorer) May 26, 2014\nIt doesn\u2019t matter whether it\u2019s an appalling statistic of death or someone like Geoff Shaw trying to wind back abortion laws, these are out-and-out attacks on the liberty of women in our society. The attacks are based purely on their gender. We are part of this society and we really shouldn\u2019t stand back and watch it happen unchallenged. This is not something that women alone need to deal with. It\u2019s something everyone needs to deal with. Its something that men need to address.\nA few tweets, a few likes on Facebook or even writing a blog isn\u2019t enough. Places like my work are doing something positive to make a difference. I\u2019ll support the excellent work of Family Life. Early intervention I think is the key. Whether it\u2019s through innovative programs or simply dads talking to their sons, we all have a role to play. I\u2019ll do more than write a blog post and re-tweet some words of others.\nJust like not being gay makes it hard for people to understand how I feel or what they can do to help, so it is with the way women feel. I just don\u2019t know what that is like. I do know that there is a real problem and I want to be part of the solution. I do know that there are people, women and men, doing fantastic work and they need support. My support, and your support.\nIt needs action, I don\u2019t know what that means just now. I do know that in my words, my conversations with others, I will not denigrate women, I will not explain behaviour based on gender. Violence is unacceptable.\nWhite Ribbon Australia\u2019s campaign to stop violence against women\nTagged with: caitlin \u2022 family life \u2022 family violence",

        "title": "Serve Scotland Debate \u2013 Graeme Dey",
        "raw_content": "Serve Scotland Debate\nYesterday in Parliament, Graeme Dey MSP spoke in a member\u2019s debate on the work of Serve Scotland.\nYou can watch Graeme\u2019s speech by clicking on the following link https://www.scottishparliament.tv/meeting/members-business-kate-forbes-msp-serve-scotland-september-12-2017?clip_start=17:32:50&clip_end=17:37:18\nOr alternatively, you can read the transcript below \u2026.\nI apologise to the Presiding Officer and members. Owing to my being required to host an event in Parliament shortly, I will have to leave the debate before it concludes.\nLast night, I shared with my 80-year-old mum, who is a lifelong churchgoer, the fact that I intended to contribute to the debate. Her response was, \u201cWell, that\u2019ll be interesting.\u201d She was, to put it mildly, amused by the prospect. Although I was raised in a Christian household, I have turned out to be\u2014there is no other way to put it\u2014an avowed atheist.\nI think that my mum fears another collapsing-beam episode, if not the full chamber roof falling in, should I rise to praise the activities of religious groups, but at the risk of tempting fate, I genuinely congratulate my friend and colleague Kate Forbes on securing the debate. We absolutely should recognise good work of the nature that Serve Scotland seeks to coordinate, assist and promote and, in so doing, we should celebrate the contribution of religious groups to making Scottish society the society that it is. I am increasingly unsettled by the push by some people to denigrate and marginalise people of faith\u2014any faith\u2014and to dismiss their views and their right to hold them.\nI was raised to respect the reasonable and deeply held beliefs of other folk, however much I might struggle to understand them, and\u2014more than that\u2014to be appreciative of the positive contribution to society that they might make. As an MSP and prior to becoming one, I have seen many examples of faith groups converting their beliefs into welcome praiseworthy actions. In Arbroath, in my constituency, churches have been running a street pastors project for the past six years.\nAs Kate Forbes and Dave Thompson highlighted\u2014 David Stewart: Stewart. Graeme Dey: I apologise, Mr Stewart. As Kate Forbes and David Stewart highlighted, when those of us who are not hitting the pubs and clubs are comfortably in bed, street pastors are out providing a listening ear and making sure that people who may well be feeling the effects of having had too much alcohol are okay. For example, they provide flip-flops to make the walk home that bit easier.\nThose who are involved with the scheme go through extensive and regular training, including in drug awareness. Last year, I was delighted to attend the 10th anniversary celebration of the Havilah project, which is run by members of St Andrew\u2019s parish church in Arbroath. Havilah began in response to the desire of some members to reach out to the many people in the local community who, for whatever reason, often find themselves excluded, isolated and unloved. It helps people who are struggling with addictions. Volunteers have also visited some of the service users who have been sent to prison, and some people, on leaving prison, make Havilah their first port of call because they know of the welcome that they will get.\nAngus Council and the Church of Scotland\u2019s go for it fund provide financial support and, in 2015, the project was presented with the Queen\u2019s award for voluntary service. St Andrew\u2019s church also works alongside Arbroath old and abbey church on operating a food bank in the town. As well as members of the two kirks donating food, supplies come from other churches and individuals beyond Arbroath. Having visited the food bank, I know of the invaluable service that it is providing to people who are in times of crisis.\nThe saying may well be that charity begins at home, but Angus South churches also play their part further afield. Kate Forbes touched on the Blythswood Care shoe box appeal, which delivers presents to children in eastern Europe who might well be going without the joys of Christmas, and Kirriemuir old parish church joins many other churches in acting as a collection point. Returning to St Andrew\u2019s church in Arbroath, I note that, 10 years ago, the Dalitso Project was started there after a group of seven young people visited Namisu orphan village and saw the tough conditions that the children were living in.\nNow an independent charity, it operates two day-care centres and orphan residences in Malawi, which care for more than 300 children and provide jobs for 30 staff. It is also working to build another classroom and pay for another teacher, and is currently working with local government to build a health centre so that people do not need to take a long trip to receive medical attention. It has responded to flooding and food shortages in the communities.\nI welcome the co-ordinating role that is being taken by Serve Scotland across churches and other services, and thank all the church groups that are playing active roles in my constituency and across Scotland.",

        "title": "3 Tips For Managing The Logistics Of Your Building Project - Maintaining and Repairing Industrial Equipment",
        "raw_content": "A major renovation or construction project will have intense supply needs. Unfortunately, managing the supplies and logistics of these projects can be particularly challenging. If you have limited experience with this type of work, you will want to utilize some strategies to help you with meeting these needs of your project.\n1. Use A Material Delivery Service\nHauling construction materials can be extremely difficult due to their cumbersome nature. The large size and heavy weight of these materials will make them unsuited for transport in most standard vehicles and trucks. Furthermore, individuals may find that it is extremely labor intensive to have to load and unload these materials. By using a construction material delivery service, you can avoid these hassles while ensuring that you still have access to the materials and supplies that you need.\n2. Have A Suitable Storage Area For The Materials\nProperly storing the construction supplies will also be important. Individuals that fail to store these materials in a suitable location may find that these supplies suffer severe degradation over time. In fact, it can be possible for these materials to become too compromised to be of much use to the project. This can dramatically increase the costs of the project while also increasing the amount of time that will be needed for it. When you are choosing a storage area for these materials, you should make sure that the location will be free of common pests, have low humidity and moisture levels while leaving enough space to keep everything fairly well organized. Due to the space limitations that your project may have, it might be more effective for you to order your supplies in smaller batches to make it easier to accommodate these needs.\n3. Keep An Updated Inventory\nIt is important to always know what supplies you have on hand. Otherwise, you could find yourself running out of materials before you complete particular parts of the project. To help you with avoiding these issues, you should take inventory of your materials on a regular basis. More specifically, you may find it useful to take an inventory of the work that will be done in a couple of days. This will give you enough time to procure the needed materials if you determine that you are short of the necessary supplies. An added benefit of doing this type of inventory system is that it will allow you to monitor your efficiency in using these materials more closely, and this can help you with limiting the total costs for this work.",

        "raw_content": "Hakomi Mallorca | Comprehensive H.E.A.R.T. Course\nLocation: Each Module will take place in Mallorca, Spain.\nThe course will provide 105 course hours for Continuing Professional Development programs.\nTuition: Regular tuition (if deposit received October 1, 2015 or later): \u20ac3400\nEarly bird (if deposit received by September 30, 2015): \u20ac3200\nFull-time students: \u20ac2800\nFull-time students early bird: \u20ac2600\nA MINDFULNESS-CENTERED APPROACH\u2026\n\u2026to interpersonal intelligence\nand seeing from the heart.\nThere is no place in the world where we are challenged as much to step out of our personal limitations and to grow, than in relationships that are deeply meaningful to us. This is where we laugh, suffer, make war and reconcile, and it is also where we can find the highest forms of surrender, transcendence of character, and the most profound happiness. Yet, despite our longing for deeper connection and healing within our relationships, many people find themselves stuck in familiar patterns and lost as to how to overcome these difficulties. This can happen not only in our romantic relationships, but also in other relationships that are important to us, such as with friends, parents, children, co-workers, and neighbours.\nThe H.E.A.R.T. model arises from and is consistent with principles and methods of Hakomi Experiential Psychotherapy. Halko Weiss developed the training as a way to fill the gap between the Hakomi model that focused on the client\u2019s internal process (the intrapersonal) and the complexity that arises when considering the processes that arise between two people (the interpersonal), whether that be client and therapist or simply any two individuals.\nFor more information: Email heartmallorca@gmail.com.\nThe H.E.A.R.T. model provides a blueprint for navigating the challenges and opportunities that relationships of all kinds offer us, in ways that can open the door to deeper understanding of both self and other, and ultimately deeper connection. The training provides a safe, supportive environment in which participants can attend to the important questions about human relationships that many individuals and therapists have asked themselves over and over again. The H.E.A.R.T. model is a mindfulness-centered approach to cultivating conscious relationships. It focuses on the human relationship in a way that allows both people to participate in the expansion of consciousness and in the healing that this can promote. H.E.A.R.T. is an integrative, unique, non-eclectic approach that fits well with postmodern thinking. It allows freedom to conceive and live one\u2019s own values and rules and emphasises personal responsibility and consciousness.\nNote: Prerequisites for acceptance into the Comprehensive H.E.A.R.T. Course include having attended an introductory H.E.A.R.T. weekend or another Hakomi training, or other qualifying training in mindfulness or relational work as assessed by interview with one of the teachers. There is also a brief written application process.",

        "raw_content": "Head of School Evaluation & Coaching Support\nHead Of School Evaluation & Coaching Consulting Services\nIs your Board Handicapped in Accurately Gauging your Head of School's Effectiveness? Do you need an Evaluation and Support System to assess and support your Head of School?\nThere are probably as many Heads of Schools who do not receive formal evaluation by their Boards as those who do. And some boards actually consider the renewal of the Head's contract without having provided the Head with an annual written evaluation. These boards have not learned how honest and supportive feedback can improve the Head's effectiveness, and with it the school's chances for personnel and enrollment stability, and growth. Without setting achievable goals for the Head and school, and evaluating the school's leader to measure advancement against specific benchmarks, Boards are handicapped in accurately gaging the head's effectiveness and the school's needs.\nWhen it comes to Head of School Evaluation, Boards often take two approaches:\nAvoid it altogether (\"Everything's just fine, so why take on another bureaucratic activity?\"), or\nDistribute ratings forms, tally the results, and then meet with the Head to \"make a few suggestions.\"\nNeither approach is truly effective! For the strategic Board to guard and support the school's strategic future and support the Head as the school leader, evaluating the Head of School must be linked with the school's strategic direction. This is best accomplished with the Board's Head Support and Evaluation Committee.\nHEG's Head of School Online Evaluation Tool\nHEG's Head of School Online Evaluation Tool is designed for use by School Heads working with the Head Support and Evaluation Committee. Working through the instrument results in a set of clear objectives, ways to carry them out, and an understanding of the kind of support the Head needs to be successful.\nHalladay Education Group's extensive consulting work with governing Boards has provided us with opportunities to identify models in which schools effectively utilize an evaluation of the Head to maintain a healthy dialog. In this area so critical to leadership and governance, HEG provides a menu of ideas and tools to assist in creating healthy Board/Head partnerships.\nMentoring Heads and Leadership Transitions\nHeads of School, who are new to the career or have moved from one headship to another, often need the outside perspective provided by a consulting firm that can help view issues in ways that are supportive of both the Head and the school.\nEighty percent of all Heads of Schools are fired; they do not leave of their own volition. Yet, it is the longevity of a Head that usually determines that person's effective and long-term contributions and that of the school.\nA new Head faces a variety of demands from the Board, the faculty, the parents and the students. Heads new to a school need to be very careful about managing the pace of change in a way that does not harm the school's climate, faculty morale or the school culture. Sudden changes can undermine the new head's credibility and legitimacy.\nEven experienced Heads who move into a new environment may find themselves surprised by a different set of personalities, circumstances and political history that can blindside even the most experienced leader.\nHalladay Education Group provides assistance to Heads who are new to the profession or in a new setting. Our work in this area requires an on-site visit, as well as short- and long-term retainers.\nIf you are interested in our Head of School Evaluation and Coaching services and would like to receive written material about HEG, or would like to discuss your particular needs, please contact HEG directly to find out more about our services. You can set this up by sending an email to info@halladayeducationgroup.com or calling directly at +1-800-687-1492. We invite you to continue browsing our web site.",

The film is called Toilet: A Love Story, and the name of the film perfectly encapsulates the tone with which the story is told.\nToilet: A Love Story walks a fine line, unlike any I have ever seen. At least, not like I have ever seen in American cinema. This film walks the fine line between total farce and effective drama. Thankfully, the film does not take itself very seriously, and almost presents itself as a sort of parody film, at least in its acting. The style with which the actors in this film (particularly the males) perform their roles is reminiscent of the characters and performances one might find in an episode of a soap-opera. Obviously, the actors here are much better at acting than those in a soap-opera, but they do act very over-the-top. This, combined with the way the music accentuates every dramatic line the characters say, makes the comedy of the film hit harder than it has any right to, especially considering the subject matter.\nToilet: A Love Story revolves around the relationship which blossoms between a young woman and an old bachelor, and the stake that is driven between their relationship by one thing: the toilet. The woman has grown up with a toilet in her house, yet the culture of her spouse\u2019s village requires that women \u201cdo their business\u201d outside of the village in a field. This may seem like a petty argument to have between a newly-wed couple, yet when you think about it, a toilet is perhaps the most necessary piece of furniture in any modern home, besides maybe a bed.\nAt the beginning of this film, I indicated a problem I have with a majority of Indian cinema. I stated that this film is a jack-of-all-trades, yet a master of none, and I will explain that now. Bollywood cinema typically contains scenes which depict all popular genres of filmmaking. This film is no exception, containing scenes of intense drama, romantic comedy, musical numbers, action sequences, and even courtroom drama. While the film has plenty of opportunity to demonstrate its expertise in any one of these genres, the film instead decides to switch the tone and genre of the story at the drop of a hat. This is a very disorienting thing to write into a film purposefully, and I continually found myself befuddled while characters danced and sang just after having intense philosophical conversation concerning the role of culture in rural India. If you enjoy traditional Bollywood cinema, check out Toilet: A Love Story, as you will not be disappointed.",

        "raw_content": "Ofsted\u2019s \u2018School inspection handbook\u2019 2018 sets out the main activities carried out during an inspection, as well as the evaluation criteria used to make a judgement of a school.\nThe judgements\nOfsted uses the following judgements \u2013 \u2018outstanding\u2019, \u2018good\u2019, \u2018requires improvement\u2019 and \u2018inadequate\u2019.\nSchools judged as inadequate will be deemed to be in a formal category of concern \u2013 these categories are \u2018serious weaknesses\u2019 and \u2018special measures\u2019.\nInspectors make judgements on a school\u2019s overall effectiveness, the effectiveness of leadership and management, the quality of teaching, learning and assessment, pupils\u2019 personal development, behaviour and welfare, and outcomes for pupils.\nOutstanding schools are exempt from inspection under section 5 (a full inspection) \u2013 they receive section 8 inspections (a short inspection) instead.\nGood schools receive a one-day short inspection approximately every four years, providing the quality of education remains good at each short inspection. A good school can automatically receive a full inspection if Ofsted\u2019s risk assessment process indicates the quality of provision may have significantly deteriorated.\nSchools judged as requires improvement will receive another full inspection usually within 30 months of the publication of their previous inspection report.\nMaintained schools and PRUs that are judged to be inadequate will be subject to an academy order. Academies causing concern could have their funding agreement terminated and may be re-brokered to another trust. Academies that are not re-brokered will be subject to monitoring by Ofsted and are usually re-inspected within 30 months.\nOfsted will normally telephone a school the afternoon of the working day before the inspection to announce it \u2013 this will be followed by a confirmation email and a phone call from the lead inspector to the headteacher. Schools are responsible for informing relevant bodies of the inspection, including alternative provision providers.\nInspectors will request that a variety of information is available at the start of an inspection including a summary of the school\u2019s self-evaluation, the current SDP, a list of referrals made to the DSL and up-to-date attendance records.\nDuring an inspection\nThe lead inspector will meet the headteacher and SLT at the beginning of the day, not before 8:00am \u2013 the lead inspector should then meet with the headteacher regularly throughout the inspection. Inspectors may also conduct meetings with parents, staff, governors and other stakeholders, without the presence of the headteacher or senior staff.\nInspectors will gather and evaluate evidence of pupil achievement through observations and documentary evidence \u2013 the pupil groups focussed on will depend on the areas for investigation. Inspectors will also gather evidence by formally and informally meeting with pupils and staff.\nThe headteacher, members of the SLT and middle leaders may be invited to take part in joint observations alongside the lead inspector, after which they will discuss their views about the strengths and weaknesses of teaching, learning and assessment.\nA final feedback meeting will take place at the end of the on-site inspection with key members connected to the school, including the headteacher and chair of governors. During this meeting, inspectors will provide the school with their provisional grades, their main findings and an explanation of how the judgements have been reached.\nShortly following an inspection, the lead inspector will write up their report and submit evidence to Ofsted \u2013 reports are quality assured before a draft is sent to schools.\nUsually, schools receive an electronic version of the final report within 14 working days of the end of the inspection, with the final report published within 19 working days. If the report is subject to further quality assurance from Ofsted, the final version will be received within 23 working days; therefore, the final report will usually be published within 28 working days.\nOfsted may publish the report at any time after the report has been received by the school.\nOur 3-Minute Read takes a more in-depth look at the \u2018School inspection handbook\u2019.\nMake sure your school is prepared for its next inspection by using the checklists in our Ofsted Preparation Resource Pack.\nOur article, created in collaboration with our Ofsted expert, provides tips for you to make sure you\u2019re always prepared for an inspection.",

This training included presentations on best practices for financial management of a nonprofit organization, roles and responsibilities of a nonprofit board, and a refresher on the importance of bylaws and what information should go into a nonprofit\u2019s bylaws. All of the information provided will help this tribal coalition become a stronger nonprofit organization. For the First Nations staff members involved, it was a pleasure to work with the coalition staff and board members and learn some history of the tribes in the area.\nA second training was provided, also in June 2013, to an emerging tribal coalition in Maine. First Nations assisted this emerging coalition through the steps to legally incorporating as a nonprofit corporation. This training was used to draft articles of incorporation and vision and mission statements, identify key components of the organization\u2019s bylaws, and, last but not least, we helped the group through the IRS Form 1023 in order to demystify the incorporation application process. This training provided a forum to the group to have their questions answered and to further their goal of becoming a nonprofit organization to fight violence against women. The meeting took place in Bar Harbor, Maine, at the Abbe Museum, which contains exhibits focused on the Maine tribes. It was the perfect location to learn about the history and the contemporary lives of the Wabanaki people, as well as provide direction and distinct purpose to their activities.\nThe tribal coalitions increase awareness of domestic violence and sexual assault against Native American and Alaska Native women. First Nations is honored to support the coalitions\u2019 work through training and technical assistance. It is always an honor to meet these strong women who are dedicated to making a difference in Indian Country.\nThe Maine group at the Abbe Museum in Bar Harbor are, L to R, Tiffany Hammer, Consultant; Lisa Yellow Eagle of First Nations; Jane Root; Tonia Dana; and Nancy Soctomah.

        "title": "Topical Retinoids Increase Hair Growth in Most People",
        "raw_content": "Retinoids \u2013 slap them on your scalp and let nature do the rest. (Photo by Steve Rhode)\nRetinoid creams and gels are probably the most effective skin care products out there at the moment. They seem to do just about everything you could hope for: increase skin firmness and hydration, reduce wrinkles, improve skin tone, you name it. But what about hair growth?\nThe effects of retinoids on hair growth have been much less studied, even though the positive data on skin health suggests they might rejuvenate scalp skin also. My own experiment with retinol (the milder cousin of retinoids) and the resulting new hairs certainly supports this idea.\nAnd yet, while my ongoing experiment with tretinoin has visibly improved my skin, I can't say I've seen much of an increase in hair growth. I find this somewhat surprising, given that tretinoin is much stronger than retinol. Time to take a look at what the science says on retinoids and hair growth.\nThe earliest paper I could find compared the effects of various treatments on hair regrowth in mice (link). According to the paper, retinoic acid applied topically was the least effective of the three treatments but still caused some hair regrowth after shaving the backs of the mice. Interestingly, UV irradiation was more effective, while estradiol suppressed hair regrowth.\nThen, in 1986, a group of scientists decided to try topical retinoids and minoxidil on humans with androgenic alopecia (link). After one year of using the combination, 66% of the participants saw regrowth of terminal hairs. None of the participants used minoxidil alone, but some of them did use only retinoids. Applying 0.025% tretinoin topically resulted in hair growth in 58% of the subjects. The picture below shows one subject before and after using tretinoin.\nAccording to the authors, the hair growth may be due to increased cell proliferation and differentation and the generation of new blood vessels. Another paper that appeared a few years later also speculates on how retinoids might cause hair growth (link). The authors of this paper suggest that certain retinoids increase the rate of hair of hair growth, prolong the anagen phase, and help convert vellus hairs to terminal hairs.\nAt least in mice, levels of cellular retinoic acid binding protein are higher during the anagen phase and lower during the telogen phase of hair growth. Applying some retinoids topically increases the level of this protein in the skin, which might explain how retinoids prolong the growth phase (link). Both isotretinoin (also called 13-cis-retinoic acid) and tretinoin (also called all-trans-retinoic acid) seem to shorten the telogen phase and increase the anagen phase; however, they also differ in their effects, at least in vitro (link).\nA review on retinoids and hair growth states that according to the studies, only tretinoin and isotretinoin are able to prolong the anagen phase (link). I'm not sure how true this statement is, given that other vitamin A derivatives such as etretinate have been associated with hair darkening and new hair growth (link) and even retinol boosts the effectiveness of minoxidil (link).\nNot all studies have found the combination of minoxidil and retinoids to be superior to minoxidil alone (link). The hypothesis that retinol and some retinoids increase the absorption of minoxidil is plausible, but this is not the only explanation, since retinoids are effective even on their own. Thus, with or without minoxidil, retinol and retinoids seem worth a shot. Keep in mind, though, that the picture above shows the result after one year of use, and that almost half of the participants did not see an increase in hair growth.\nSo, which retinoids do you recommend? Will an over the counter one work?\nRetinoids are prescription-only in most countries. You can buy them online from places such as alldaychemist.com without a prescription however. Retinol is available over the counter, and while it's less strong than retinoids, it did grow hair on my temple.\nOh, and so far I've only tried tretinoin, so I can't say which one is the best.\nif I decide to add this to my minoxidil regimen, how do I best apply this? By dissolving together with minoxidil or by applying the cream directly to the scalp? How did they do it in the studies you mentioned, I don't have acces myself :-). Thanks for your wonderfull blog.\nThey just applied the scream to the scalp. I probably wouldn't dissolve it in minoxidil; however, IIRC retinoids improve the absorption of minox, so you could first put the retinoid cream on your scalp, wait for a while and then apply the minox.\n> Not all studies have found the combination of minoxidil\n> and retinoids to be superior to minoxidil alone\nThis may be so, however the study that you link is, according to its abstract, comparing minoxidil and tretinoin once a day with just minoxidil twice a day. They find the treatments to be equivalent. A fair test would have been applying the combined solution as frequently as minoxidil alone.\nIt is unfortunate that the study lacked the scope to seek a treatment better than minoxidil alone.\nI tried retinol without thinking on some facial areas where I'd done hair removal... and it seemed to start some regrowth, so I stopped! I wonder what the active process is and if there's a way to block that....\nDown with the Syndrome Remembering Little Jamie August 3, 2015 at 8:37 PM\nMy daughter is 8yrs old with severe alopecia. We've been seeing a specialist at children's hospital since February. She's been using a couple of different creams with no success. She has now started using tretinoin 0.025% cream for about six weeks now. It looks like she is getting some new hair coming in. Its so sad watching my little girl go through this. She has to wear headbands even at the swimming pool cause she's petrified for other children to see her bald spots. So I'm praying this is going to be the miracle cream she needs. I'll update again in a few weeks.",

The composer's ill-judged and short-lived marriage to the troubled Antonia Milyikova (who had initially threatened suicide if he refused her) had recently imploded, leaving Tchaikovsky himself in nihilistic frame. Leaving Russia to seek solace in travel and work, he completed his Fourth Symphony, a work that expressed a self confessed 'escape from reality'. From the sombre Fate motif that colours its first movement, to its ebullient folk-dance finale, it echoes the emotional fall-out and cathartic release from the greyest of winters. Beethoven - himself no stranger to turbulence and torment - premiered his Violin Concerto in 1806.

His one-movement overture sees all the angst and suspense of the story concentrated into a few dramatic minutes of music. While Wagner strayed across the boundaries of love, Brahms apparently missed out on romance: but his passion perhaps ran even more deeply as a result. His rhapsody for the lowest female voice and male choir is a heartfelt response to the discovery that the object of his affections was engaged elsewhere - and his feelings could go no further. Franz Liszt was a renowned virtuoso, mystic, visionary, celebrity, and architect of new musical forms. But above all, Liszt was an entertainer.

But then I look at my book shelf and realize I already have 8 books on orchestration, with countless others on composition related material. Who am I kidding trying to compare myself with Berlioz, Rachmaninoff, Kennan or Adler??? (Ok, unless you're an orchestration geek like me, those last two names may not be that familiar). Still, there are lots of great books out there. PLUS, there are some great websites. Young Composers not only has a great forum for posting your music to get comments from other composers, but it has links to a variety of helpful resources regarding all sorts of compositional skills. MusicArrangers.com has lessons in theory, arranging and more for beginners to professional.

He seems to be able to play anything, making it feel effortless and finding the essence of what the composer imagines.\u201d \u2014 John AdamsJeremy Denk has enjoyed a high-profile spring, collaborating with composer/conductor John Adams to perform Stravinsky\u2019s Concerto for Piano and Winds on both sides of the Atlantic. After their account of the work with the London Symphony Orchestra, numerous critics singled Denk\u2019s performance out for praise, the Daily Telegraph noting his \u201cChopinesque grace,\u201d and the Arts Desk admiring his \u201castounding sense of fantasy.\u201d Now, as a grand finale, Denk and Adams reunite to reprise the concerto, this time with Ensemble ACJW, at New York\u2019s Carnegie Hall (May 10).

Tenor Ben Heppner stars as Captain Ahab. Jake Heggie has said that Melville\u2019s book is not only operatic in scope: music virtually rises from its pages. \u201cThere is so much music with the sea and the wind and that sort of universe that Melville created, the ship floating on the ocean just as the planet floats on the universe. There were bells on the whaling ships, the whales themselves made very percussive noises.\u201d As he and Scheer worked to distill a huge, classic book into a two-act, three-hour operatic story, the composer felt \u201cthe musical world reveal itself\u201d with grand orchestration and a 40-voice men\u2019s chorus. The six-performance premiere of Moby-Dick, to run from April 30 to May 16, will star Ben Heppner as Captain Ahab.

The malevolent cackle gets too insistent to ignore, but luckily it\u2019s just the ring tone of Pape\u2019s cell phone, set to a bit of Gounod\u2019s M\u00e9phistoph\u00e9l\u00e8s \u2013 one of the German bass\u2019s signature roles. Pape is a creature of the stage, so having a little ironic theatricality follow him around is only right. But the singer is also a man grounded in regular life. When not thrilling audiences the world over, he relishes time spent at home by the river in Dresden, cooking to relax. Pape has been a member of the Berlin State Opera since 1988, and \u2013 as he turns off his phone to discuss the King of the Gods, aka Wotan, his latest Wagnerian challenge \u2013 he is in the German capital for runs as Prince Gremin in Tchaikovsky\u2019s Eugene Onegin and as King Marke i\u2026\nComposer John King's 10 Mysteries CD Release at Roulette NYC - May 15th\nString quartet Crucible (Cornelius Dufallo and Chris Otto, violins; John King, viola; and Alex Waterman, cello) will perform music from composer John King\u2019s new CD \u201c10 Mysteries\u201d at NYC\u2019s Roulette on Saturday, May 15, 2010 at 8:30 pm.

Then, I got all gussied up and went to the opera with another friend. It was a medley of opera arias. Given that it was my very first opera experience, I did enjoy it and I thought it was entertaining. It was in direct contrast to the mountain biking movie from the night before :-} It was really cool to see all the elderly people out and about enjoying life. I want to be one of those old people {someday, not right now, but someday}. Yep - the young people look at opera as something to do when they are OLD! Why you may ask? Because we constantly re-hash old music and old productions. Because the new music bears little or no relation to the rest of the 'modern' music world. Because story has changed - the average scene in a film in 1940 was 4 minutes long - it is now 40 seconds. Because the audience is old, young people may feel out of place - manners, social cus\u2026\nGrammy Award-Winning Mezzo-Soprano Susan Graham Returns to Her Native Texas for Role Debut as Handel\u2019s Xerxes at Houston Grand Opera\nSo far this season, Susan Graham has triumphed in Berlioz\u2019s Damnation de Faust at Lyric Opera of Chicago, in Strauss\u2019s Rosenkavalier at New York\u2019s Metropolitan Opera, in Mahler\u2019s R\u00fcckert-Lieder with the San Francisco Symphony, and in Purcell\u2019s Dido and Aeneas on a West Coast tour.

A renowned Handelian, Graham enjoyed tremendous success in her 2008 performances of Handel\u2019s Ariodante in San Francisco. The Wall Street Journal wrote of her Ariodante: \u201cThere can be few living singers who can do such spellbinding justice both to Handel\u2019s stark emotions and his heavenly music as Susan Graham\u2026 .

        "raw_content": "Islam and democracy are incompatible\nEgypt, a country called typically Russian resort, is grasped by the so-called \"date revolution.\" Interfax-Religion correspondent Yelena Verevkina asked renowned expert in Islam Alexander Ignatenko what is the role of Islamists in undermining foundations of this \"beach paradise.\"\nAlexander Alexandrovich, what is the role of Islamist underground in organizing disorders in Egypt?\n- I think their role is not too significant as the things happening in Egypt, can be called revolution \"two in one.\" On the one hand, it is a revolt of people who have been oppressed by gerontocratic corruption regimen, but on the other hand, it is so called \"color revolution\" that tries to use this people's impulse to redistribute power and property among elite groups of Egypt. Renowned activist Mohammed al Baradei is the leader of this second revolution.\nAs to Islamists, they have always been active in Egypt, but they are not playing a leading part in this revolution, here are different moving forces, different infantry. However, today they are in expectation as they have rich political experience. What are the reasons of this expectation? The reason for it is that any political group that will come to power in Egypt (for instance, people who stand for \"color revolution\") will have to deal with a complex of problems, very difficult, very old that have recently have become more acute, and they won't be able to settle all these problems. It is evident today that they are trying to conclude a kind of agreement, public or secret, with those forces that are trying to kindle this revolution or suppress it, with counterrevolution forces.\nWhat are these forces? They are now trying to make an agreement with Mohammed al Baradei, but at the same time they do not exclude and even suggest a kind of alliance with militaries, with members of the top brass in Egypt. A kind of transitional government can be set up. It won't be a government of national accord or government of national salvation, it will certainly be transitional government where they can participate in this or that form together with militaries and organizers of the \"color revolution.\"\n- When you visit Egypt, you've got an impression that majority of its citizens are far from following Islam canons. How many Egyptians can really support \"Muslim Brothers\" and for what reasons - political or ideological?\n- I can't say how many Egyptians can back up \"Muslim Brothers.\" The question is different. Today, Egypt goes through a full-fledged revolution and absolutely different forces from \"Muslim Brothers\" (but we said they are not the main force) to criminals who have their own interest take part in it. It's not a fact that some Egyptians follow \"Muslim Brother\" or certain religious slogans. All these events have different organizers. It is not quite right to link this revolution to \"Muslim Brothers\" and Egyptians who are in sympathy with them.\n-What do you think about such an expression as \"Islamic democracy\"? Is it viable?\n- I have never used such an expression. Islam and democracy are incompatible things: you have to choose Islam or democracy.\n- What do you think, the power will be gained by pro-Western forces Mohammed al Baradei or Iranian scenario is possible with a rollback to strict Islam?\n- I think that Egypt will have such a regimen where the leading role is given to the army and Special Forces. I don't exclude that the United States and the European Union who demonstrated their interest in Egyptian events will strive to set up a pure democracy there as they won't be satisfied with coercion if the militaries block organizers of the \"color revolution\" and even \"Muslim Brothers\" who can also participate in political reforms. It's enough to say that they more than once were elected to the Egyptian parliament. I think that Pakistani experience, where military dictator Musharraf was thrown down and changed, not without US pressure, to \"democratic government\" shows that such replacements of state heads can lead to a negative result, when radical Islamist elements can try to seize power.",

In this Quick 5 interview, she talks about the retirement crisis in the U.S.\n1. Bailey, the National Public Pension Coalition recently released a report titled Why Pensions Matter. What did the report examine and what were some of the findings?\nThe report looks at the long history of public pensions in the United States from their origins in the late 19th century up through the present day. Public pensions have provided a reliable source of retirement security for teachers, firefighters, and other public employees for more than a century. Unfortunately, the shift to 401(k) retirement plans in the private sector over the past 30 years has been detrimental to most working families. It is becoming increasingly clear that 401(k)s have failed to meet the retirement income needs of most working people. This, coupled with nearly half of working Americans receiving no retirement plan through work has left us with a retirement security crisis in America.\nDanielle DiMartino Booth to be a Keynote Speaker at the 2017 IPPFA MidAmerican Pension Conference\nDanielle DiMartino Booth to be a Keynote Speaker at the 2017 IPPFA MidAmerican Pension Conference.\nDanielle DiMartino Booth is a global thought leader on monetary policy and economics. She is the author of FED UP: An Insider\u2019s Take on Why the Federal Reserve is Bad for America (Portfolio, Feb 2017). FED UP, which rose to #22 on Amazon\u2019s Best Seller List, is currently in its fifth production run.\nDiMartino Booth founded Money Strong LLC in 2015. Through her economic consultancy, she has published a weekly newsletter for 132 consecutive weeks. Aside from her vast direct distribution network, more than 100,000 readers enjoy her newsletter on a weekly basis via Linked In, Seeking Alpha, Nasdaq, Talk Markets and dozens of other websites.\nDiMartino Booth is also a full-time columnist for Bloomberg View, a business speaker, and a commentator frequently featured on CNBC, Bloomberg, Bloomberg Radio, Fox News, Fox Business News and other major media outlets. DiMartino Booth recently accepted a position as Senior Economic Advisor for Commerce Street Capital.\nPublic Pensions Are a Good Deal for Taxpayers\nPublic pensions are beneficial to taxpayers in a variety of ways that are both under-reported and poorly understood by many observers. In the quest for simple answers to complex questions about public pensions, facile observers routinely overlook salient facts. For example, taxpayers get public services from dedicated nurses, firefighters, teachers, and police officers and pay only 20 cents on the dollar for their retirement benefits. The rest of the money comes from investment earnings and employee contributions. Taxpayers benefit from $3.7 trillion of pension fund assets invested in our economy, providing capital for established businesses and start-ups. Additionally, taxpayers benefit because retirees typically spend their pension checks locally, creating new jobs. Above all, tax revenues created through retiree spending and pension investments may exceed what taxpayers pay into public pensions.\nTax Information for Members of the Military\nThis page provides tax information for current and former military personnel who served in the United States armed forces, uniform services, and under limited circumstances, support organizations.\nCurious Behaviors That Can Ruin Your Retirement is an interactive program on behavioral impediments to retirement planning.

As part of that effort, we commissioned the Governing Institute\u2014an organization that helps public sector leaders govern more effectively through research, decision support and executive education\u2014to survey 103 state legislators and their staff to understand how lawmakers view their role in this critical issue. The results, published at www.governing.com/cyberfindings, show that awareness is growing. A vast majority of respondents said protecting state computer networks is a priority. But the findings also indicate awareness isn\u2019t necessarily turning into action, at least not yet.\nAugust 7, 2017 Ken Sarni News\nIn 2016, the funded ratio of state and local pensions declined under both old and new accounting rules.\nThis decline reflected steady growth in liabilities and slow growth in assets due to poor stock performance.\nMore recently, the revival of the stock market is helping plan assets recover, with funded ratios expected to improve in 2017.\nBut, looking further ahead, funding ratios are projected to remain essentially flat due largely to the current approach of calculating required contributions.\nThus, to achieve more meaningful progress, plans need to establish contribution levels that will actually reduce unfunded liabilities.\n2017 Mid-Year Federal & State Pension Legislation Update Webcast\nOn Tuesday, July 11, 2017, Hank Kim, executive director of NCPERS, Bailey Childers, executive director of the National Public Pension Coalition (NPPC), and Anthony Roda, partner at Williams & Jensen, discussed state and federal legislation impacting public pensions.\nCorporate Employers Flee Pensions With Gap Topping $375 Billion\nThe vast majority of S&P 500 companies don\u2019t have enough money set aside to meet all their obligations to current and future retirees. There\u2019s a total gap of at least $375 billion for the 200 largest plans. This is how they got here.\nAssets in U.S. pension plans go from $186 billion to more than $2 trillion.

        "raw_content": "GUANGZHOU, May 21, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fanhua Inc., (Nasdaq: FANH), (the \u201cCompany\u201d or \u201cFanhua\u201d), a leading independent online-to-offline (\u201cO2O\u201d) financial services provider in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 20181 and declared quarterly dividend.\nThe Company also announced that on May 12, 2018, its Board of Directors (the \u201cBoard\u201d) declared an annual aggregate dividend of US$1.0 per ADS, or $0.05 per ordinary share, payable on a quarterly basis. The dividend declaration reflects management and the Board\u2019s current view on the Company\u2019s first quarter of 2018 financial results and its earnings growth outlook for 2018. The first quarterly dividend for the year 2018 will be US$0.25 per ADS, or US$0.0125 per ordinary share, amounting to a total of US$16.3 million, payable on or around June 10, 2018 to shareholders of record on May 30, 2018.\nCommenting on the first quarter 2018 financial results, Mr. Chunlin Wang, chairman and chief executive officer of Fanhua, stated, \u201cWe delivered another quarter of solid results that beat our expectation, with operating income growing by 63.3% year-over-year to RMB90.2 million, and net income attributable to shareholders increasing by 86.7% year-over-year to RMB130.2 million.\n2 Due to the disposal of Fanhua Bocheng Insurance Brokerage Co., Ltd. (\u201cBocheng\u201d)in November 2017, the Company is required to present its financial results on a continuing and discontinued basis. The company\u2019s results of operations related to discontinued operations have been restated as discontinued operations on a retrospective basis for all periods presented accordingly. Profits and losses related to Bocheng are presented as discontinued operations while profits and losses for the remaining business are presented as continuing operations.\n\u201cThe performance of our core business, life insurance business, was in line with our expectation. Our total life insurance premiums grew by 40.1% from a year ago, outpacing industry growth, primarily owing to strong year-over-year growth of 186.5% in renewal life insurance premiums during the quarter, reflecting the attractive business nature of the long-term life insurance business. i.e. the snowball effect created by the accumulation of renewal business. First year annualized premiums equivalent (\u201cAPEs\u201d) were down 12% year-over-year, consistent with our expectation, mainly affected by the continued adjustment in annuity products and the high base in the same period of last year. In the meantime, the fundamentals of our life insurance segment remain solid, as evidenced by the strong growth momentum in both registered sales agents and performing sales, and over 40% year-on-year growth in APEs of health insurance products for the first quarter of 2018.\n\u201cWe are also happy to see positive operational and financial contributions from our various internet platforms which have demonstrated leading advantages in each of their respective areas and started to generate commercial value. These achievements have fully demonstrated the foresight and accuracy of the business strategies that we\u2019ve implemented over the past few years. We believe our internet platforms will become a new driver for the continued growth of the company in the future.\n\u201cLooking ahead to the second quarter of 2018, we expect the life insurance industry will be on track for a healthier development, in view of current financial and insurance regulatory trends. But we firmly believe that the decoupling of manufacturing from distribution is an irreversible trend and the industry\u2019s transition towards protection-oriented business is favorable for Fanhua. As such, we expect to achieve positive growth in first year life insurance APEs and operating income of no less than RMB100 million in the second quarter of 2018.\u201d\n\u25cf Net revenues for the life insurance business were RMB 673.0 million (US$107.3 million) for the first quarter of 2018, representing an increase of 9.7% from RMB613.4 million for the corresponding period in 2017. The increase was primarily due to growth in the number of sales agents and the rapid growth of renewal commissions. Revenues generated from our life insurance business accounted for 79.8% of our total net revenues in the first quarter of 2018.\n\u25cf Net revenues for the P&C insurance business were RMB 92.5 million (US$14.7 million) for the first quarter of 2018, representing a decrease of 85.9% from RMB655.6 million for the corresponding period in 2017. The decrease was primarily due to 1) the disposal of the equity interests of some entities in the P&C insurance division in October 2017, and 2) the transition of our P&C insurance business from a commission-based business model towards a platform business model starting from the fourth quarter of 2017. The revenue for P&C insurance business mainly represent commission revenues generated from Baoxian.com and technology service fees based on the volume of insurance premiums transacted through CNpad. Revenues generated from the P&C insurance business accounted for 11.0% of our total net revenues in the first quarter of 2018.\n\u25cf Net revenues for the claims adjusting business were RMB 77.8million (US$12.4 million) for the first quarter of 2018, representing an increase of 20.4% from RMB64.6 million for the corresponding period in 2017. Revenues generated from the claims adjusting business accounted for 9.2% of our total net revenues in the first quarter of 2018.\n\u25cf Commission costs were RMB597.4 million (US$95.2 million) for the first quarter of 2018, representing a decrease of 45.3% from RMB 1,092.8 million for the corresponding period in 2017. The decrease in commission cost was mainly due to the decrease in P&C insurance business, partially offset by the growth of our life insurance business.\nu Costs of the life insurance business were RMB468.3 million (US$74.7 million) for the first quarter of 2018, representing an increase of 7.6% from RMB435.1 million for the corresponding period in 2017. The increase was in line with the growth in sales. Costs incurred by the life insurance business accounted for 78.4% of our total commission costs in the first quarter of 2018.\nu Costs of the P&C insurance business were RMB80.2 million (US$12.8 million) for the first quarter of 2018, representing a decrease of 86.8% from RMB607.4 million for the corresponding period in 2017. The decrease was primarily due to 1) the disposal of the equity interests of some entities in the P&C insurance division in October 2017, and 2) the transition of our P&C insurance business from a commission-based business model towards a platform business model starting from the fourth quarter of 2017. The cost of the P&C insurance business mainly represents the cost incurred for business on Baoxian.com. Costs incurred by the P&C insurance business accounted for 13.4% of our total commission costs in the first quarter of 2018.\nu Costs of claims adjusting business were RMB49.0 million (US$7.8 million) for the first quarter of 2018, representing a decrease of 2.6% from RMB50.3 million for the corresponding period in 2017. Costs incurred by the claims adjusting business accounted for 8.2% of our total commission costs in the first quarter of 2018.\n\u25cf Selling expenses were RMB48.7 million (US$7.8 million) for the first quarter of 2018, representing a decrease of 6.9% from RMB52.3 million for the corresponding period in 2017. The decrease was primarily due to the reduction in expenses related to P&C insurance agencies as a result of the disposal of most of our P&C insurance agency subsidiaries in the fourth quarter of 2017, as part of the implementation of a platform business model for our auto insurance business.\n\u25cf General and administrative expenses were RMB107.0 million (US$17.1 million) for the first quarter of 2018, representing a decrease of 19.7% from RMB133.2 million for the corresponding period in 2017. The decrease was primarily due to the reduction in expenses related to P&C insurance agencies as a result of the disposal of most of our P&C insurance agency subsidiaries in the fourth quarter of 2017, as part of the implementation of a platform business model for our auto insurance business.\nBasic and diluted net income per ADS were RMB2.00 (US$ 0.32) and RMB2.00 (US$0.32) for the first quarter of 2018, respectively, representing increases of 66.7% and 73.9% from RMB1.20 and RMB1.15 for the corresponding period in 2017.\nKey Operational Metrics for Fanhua\u2019s Online Initiatives for 2018:\n\u00d8 CNpad Auto Insurance App had been downloaded and activated 418,342 times as of March 31, 2018, representing an increase of 66.1% from 251,819 times as of March 31, 2017;\n\u00d8 The number of active users of CNpad Auto Insurance App3 was 63,955 in the first quarter of 2018, representing an increase of 13.3% from 56,446 in the first quarter of 2017;\n\u00d8 Insurance premiums generated through CNpad Auto Insurance App were RMB 571.0 million (US$91.0 million) in the first quarter of 2018, representing a decrease of 38.2% from RMB924.0 million for the first quarter of 2017.\n\u00d8 Lan Zhanggui had been downloaded and activated 579,348 times as of March 31, 2018, representing an increase of 130.1% from 251,819 times of downloads of CNpad Life Insurance App as of March 31, 2017;\n\u00d8 The number of active users of Lan Zhanggui4 was 64,685 in the first quarter of 2018, representing an increase of 38.3% from 46,785 active users of CNpad Life Insurance App in the first quarter of 2017;\n\u00d8 Insurance premiums generated through Lan Zhanggui were RMB513.0 million (US$81.8 million) in the first quarter of 2018, representing an decrease of 22.3% from RMB660.0 million generated through CNpad Life Insurance App for the first quarter of 2017.\n\u00d8 The number of registered members was 3.1 million as of March 31, 2018, representing an increase of 93.8% from 1.6 million as of March 31, 2017.\n\u00d8 The number of registered customer accounts was 1.6 million as of March 31, 2018, representing an increase of 87.1% from approximately 0.8 million as of March 31, 2017;\n\u00d8 The number of active customer accounts5 was 62,100 in the first quarter of 2018, representing an increase of 29.3% from 48,046 in the first quarter of 2017;\n\u00d8 Insurance premiums generated on or through Baoxian.com was RMB 605.0 million (US$96.5 million) in the first quarter of 2018, representing an increase of 10.4 times from RMB53.0 million in the first quarter of 2017.\n\u25cf As of March 31, 2018, Fanhua had 579,348 sales agents and 1,253 professional claims adjustor, compared with 280,916 sales agents and 1,241 claims adjustors as of March 31, 2017.

        "title": "Whither the political ombudsman? | Commentary | Jamaica Gleaner",
        "raw_content": "Whither the political ombudsman?\nAfter a year without a political ombudsman and with local government elections on the horizon, the minister with responsibility for electoral matters, Phillip Paulwell, said the appointment of a new political ombudsman will be made by the end of the year. He disclosed that Cabinet rejected a motion from South West St Catherine Member of Parliament Everald Warmington for the Electoral Commission of Jamaica (ECJ) to perform the role of the ombudsman.\nHowever, though Warmington's idea might not be the best, it seems that there should be a working relationship between the ECJ and the office of the political ombudsman. Perhaps the political ombudsman could be given observer status on the Electoral Commission.\nThe mission of the ECJ is to conduct national elections that are fair, free and free from fear to all contestants, ensuring that the objective of one person one vote is met. All citizens who meet the qualifications established by law have the right to vote. There are other functions, such as the ballot must be secret and there can be no voting by proxy.\nOn the other hand, the ombudsman is authorised to carry out investigations relating to issues which could be in breach of any agreement, code or arrangement between or among political parties in Jamaica. This person must be proactive in perceiving anything likely to prejudice good relations between the supporters of various political parties. The ombudsman would also need persons to forward complaints for investigation.\nTherefore, based on the mission statement of the ECJ and the role of the political ombudsman, there needs to be some formal collaboration. In addition, the office of the political ombudsman could mimic the structure of the ECJ in having a committee on which political representatives sit, and also members of civil society. This group would update the political code, establish code of ethics for campaign advertisements, etc.\nBishop Herro Blair, the third political ombudsman, after Justice James Kerr and Resident Magistrate E.G. Green, made recommendations in his annual report to Parliament recommending more bite for the office. We need to know what became of those recommendations.\nThere needs to be greater involvement of civil society in facilitating the role of the political ombudsman. Therefore, electoral watchdog groups such as CAFFE can help.\nAdditionally, every parish has Ministers Fraternal and they can help monitor the political code of conduct. I recall during the 1989, the Hanover Ministers Fraternal was involved in managing the signing of the political code by the politicians. However, it did not stop there as we were charged to attend political rallies to ensure that the code was adhered to. I attended a rally in Hopewell, Hanover, and a parish councilor made inappropriate comments on the platform. I wrote to the general secretary of the political party who, after his investigation, said those comments did not represent the party. Looking back, a report should have been made to the political ombudsman for action. However, this shows that the political ombudsman will need an islandwide network and support from the ECJ to make elections free and fair and free from fear.\nThe office of the political ombudsman should be seen like a referee being able to dispense justice quickly, otherwise, by the time the investigation is over, the elections have long gone. The office should be able to issue monetary fined for infractions. Therefore, each party should put in escrow $6.3m and each candidate can be fine a maximum of $100,000. If there are no infractions during the campaign and elections, then the money is returned to the party.\nRev Devon Dick is pastor of the Boulevard Baptist Church in St Andrew.

        "title": "A note about tree rings and the amount of carbon in wood - JANE R. FOSTER",
        "raw_content": "Ok. RWI seems like a red herring to me. The species are so different per ring. So average carbon per ring is a function of density, composition, but I speculate most important, shape and branching characteristics of the whole tree above the ring!\nSo conical pines have less carbon per ring than the spreading oak?\nAre branching structures fractal? Does that help?\nHow about looking at carbon per ring per square meter of ground \"occupied\" on average by the tree species. That would be most helpful in deciding what to grow to sequester carbon.\nThanks for your comment. I don't mean to present RWI as a red herring, but my quiz is misleading in one way: I don't think it's possible to answer correctly!\nWhat I hope this quiz shows is that RWI is not a good metric for questions relating to carbon uptake, because any information related to the mass of wood that each ring represents has been removed by its calculation.\nYou mentioned some of the reasons for this. Tree species differ in form, stature and wood density, all of which can lead to a difference in the amount of mass represented by each tree ring. There is one more factor that is also important, within each species trees differ in size and size is one of the strongest factors that determines the relationship between ring-width and wood mass (which is related to the fractal nature of tree branching that you brought up). Imagine you had to simulate wood growth by pressing a layer of play-doh over the entire surface of a tree. You would need a much larger amount of play-doh to cover a large tree than a small one!\nRWI is produced by a calculation that removes trends and thus masks differences in size and growth that are relevant to carbon uptake. Fortunately, tree ring data can be analyzed and converted to units of mass that are relevant to carbon. The problem is that this is not always being done. Some scientists currently analyze RWI and draw inferences about carbon, yet these quantities are not directly comparable. I think the forest research community needs to start a conversation about this issue to make sure we are getting these calculations right.\nYour final point, that these measures should relate to an area of ground is right on target as well. That is what we ultimately want to know. Great insights!",

        "raw_content": "Question for Christians: What Is the ONE THING I Need to Know About Praying?\nI\u2019ve been tooling around with some thoughts for my next book (title forthcoming). In fact, I have a brief sketch of it (V will depend on money. I\u2019m still way upside-down from my first book. It will also depend on time. The day-job and family (and current book) keep me very busy\u2013not sure when I will have time to write the new one. I can\u2019t take the time off and pay our bills from our line of credit this time around. Anyway, enough whining\u2026\nOne of the things I\u2019ve been thinking about is prayer. Yes, I know I discuss it in 10 Things I Hate About Christianity. But it such a huge part of a Christian\u2019s life, it will often be a reoccurring subject. And this is what I\u2019ve been wondering:\nImagine that we are having a conversation over a cup of coffee (or beer, Coke, or whatever you fancy). We both know it\u2019s likely we\u2019ll never see each other again, for whatever reason. So I am asking you a variety of questions. They are mainly life-lessons. I want to glean from your experience and gathered wisdom. One such subject is praying. So I ask you, as a fellow respecter and follower of Jesus, is:\n\u201cWhat is the ONE thing I need to know about prayer that I can take with me for the rest of my life?\u201d\nSo you lean back in the oversized leather armchair (which is standard cafe decor these days) and you say\u2026\nThat\u2019s what I\u2019ve been thinking about. Lessons like this are the essence of the vision of my next project (in several different areas besides prayer).\nSo how would I answer that question?\nI have one, but you\u2019re gonna HATE me. Because you\u2019ll have to wait for my answer.\nScientific Evidence for Prayer?\nI was doing some more research on prayer, the 2nd thing I hate about Christianity, and wondered if there is such a thing as scientific evidence for prayer? Well I found a study that claims to support this.\nNow I don\u2019t know anything about the guy who did the study or his site. But it does seem to be well-documented and had the support and involvement by the hospital that partnered in the process. Here\u2019s the basic premise of the study:\n1. A list of thousands of patients was randomly selected by computer\n2. The patients were divided into 2 groups\n3. One group was prayed for and one was not prayed for until each one was discharged from the hospital\n4. The results were documented\nThe results are very interesting. And no, the patients did not know they were part of this study. There were no statistical differences between the patients before the prayer process was initiated.\nBut apparently things really changed after the praying began:\nThe results demonstrated that patients who were prayed for\nsuffered \u201cless congestive heart failure, required less diuretic and\nantibiotic therapy, had fewer episodes of pneumonia, had fewer cardiac arrests,\nand were less frequently intubated and ventilated.\nAs I\u2019ve said, I often wonder about prayer. It\u2019s a very frustrating aspect of my faith. I\u2019m not saying it doesn\u2019t work. I\u2019m just saying that I don\u2019t often notice it working in my life. That\u2019s why I found this article so curious.\nCheck it for your self. It\u2019s interesting.\nPraying & Politics\nby Jason Berggren in Churchy Stuff, Life Lessons, Touchy Subjects, Unauthorized Blogs\nOn Monday I revealed the 2nd thing I hate about Christianity which I dive (a little Olympic tribute there) in to in my book (read a sample here). I thought it would be interesting to talk about prayer in the news today.\nThe founder of Relevant Magazine, Cameron Strang, was scheduled to open up the Democratic National Convention in prayer but backed out this week. What is Relevant Magazine you aks? It describes itself as \u201cCovering God, Life, and Progressive Culture\u201d and is at the top of its game in this arena.\nThe Obama campaign has been courting Strang for a while. This week he backed out saying, \u201cIt wouldn\u2019t be wise for me to be seen as picking a political side when\nI\u2019ve consistently said both sides are right in some areas and wrong in\nsome areas.\u201d Don\u2019t worry the DNC isn\u2019t out a blessing. Donald Miller, author of Blue Like Jazz, stepped up to the plate and will do the prayer.\nCurious that the act of praying could be so controversial. This leaves me to once again wonder:\nThe idea of prayer sure did something in this instance. And I have to say if I was put in a similar circumstance I would be challenged personally. I mean, imagine what kind of publicity I could get for my book!\nBut I would have to ask myself if praying is really for promotion and personal agenda? Mostly, I think praying should be a private act, or at least personal. After all, that\u2019s what Jesus said to the \u2018religious\u2019 people. He blasted them because they would pray in public for show and to display how spiritual they were.\nThis is not to say that public prayer is out of place, but maybe context, both physically and personally, is important. I think the context can reveal the motivation and purpose. Like at church, a Christian-type conference, etc. prayer fits well and is less emotionally charged.\nAnd not that praying before a convention like this is wrong. If anyone needs prayer, it\u2019s our politicians. But again what is the purpose for the individual here? That\u2019s the question I would have to ask myself personally. That\u2019s what Strang asked himself. And answered it.\nOf course, I am nobody special but I have one last question for Cameron Strang and Donald Miller:\nWould you have answered the call if the Republicans asked you to pray for their convention?\nI wonder\u2026It just seems quite fashionable to reach out to Democratic-leaning leaders and voters, but stick a thumb in the eye of Republican-leaning ones.\nJust something to think about as you \u2018reach out.\u2019\n#2: Prayer\nMy book is called \u201c10 Things I Hate About Christianity: Working Through the Frustrations of Faith.\u201d You can click here to read a sample. But what are those 10 things? Today I am talking about the second thing.\nOf course, I am not going to post the whole chapter this time. I have to leave some mystery so you\u2019ll buy my book. But I do want to talk about the idea and I\u2019d like you to share your experiences with me on the subject.\n#2 is PRAYER.\nPretty much everyone prays. Christians, Jews, Muslims all pray. In my life I have even had an atheist or two ask me to pray for them during a time of crisis. Even agnostics and atheists pray. It might be before crashing into the car in front of them, \u201cGod\u2026HELP ME!\u201d But I am convinced at some time and at certain points everyone prays.\nSome people pray a lot. They pray long and hard. I have often heard them called \u2018prayer warriors.\u2019 Some people pray fairly regularly, just short and to the point. That\u2019s me. These have been called \u2018Nehemiah Prayers\u2019 (see the Bible to explain that). Others mostly pray when there is a problem. That\u2019s me too.\nI pray and sometimes it makes me mad.\nI often wonder if it works. You see, I don\u2019t have things work out exactly like I\u2019ve prayed or even at all most of the time.\nSometimes I think that my morning breath has greater force and effect than my prayers.\nThis leaves me to wonder:\n1. What is prayer?\n2. And why should we pray?\nThese have been some of my reoccurring questions with regard to prayer.",

        "raw_content": "Gearing up for round 2 of the Metadata MOOC\nI mentioned in a previous post that we\u2019re relaunching the Metadata MOOC. The official launch date is Monday July 14, & like last time it will run for 8 weeks. Which means it will wrap up on September 5 (or that following weekend). Which hopefully means that it will end just in time for the start of the semester\u2026 which of course is only an issue for MOOC students who are also students at \u201ctraditional\u201d institutions. But of course that was a significant percentage of the MOOC students the first time around, and I imagine it will be again.\nAs I expected, prepping for a MOOC the second time is not nearly as much work as the first time. Prior to the first iteration, I was creating my slide decks, writing my scripts (well, not so much scripts, really, as talking points), recording videos, and vetting the edited videos. That was a full-time job. (And thank heavens I didn\u2019t have to do my own video editing, or it would have been 2 full-time jobs.) I\u2019ve said that prepping for a MOOC the first time is 2-3 times more work than prepping for a \u201ctraditional\u201d classroom-based course the first time. But prepping for a MOOC the second time is about the same amount of work as prepping for a traditional course the second time. At least this has been my experience; your mileage may vary.\nI\u2019ve mentioned Marla Sullivan before: SILS grad, working with the MOOC production team at Carolina, supporting all MOOCs at Carolina, awesome. Well, turns out, Marla was keeping very careful notes on all the issues that cropped up in the first round of the MOOC. And she\u2019s fed those notes back to me as a To Do list. Turns out, there are a few categories of things that need doing, to prep for a MOOC the 2nd time.\nThe first is, revising any videos that need it. There are 2 reasons that I can think of that I would want to re-record a video: (1) the content is out of date and needs to be changed, or (2) I said something stupid. I\u2019m happy to report that the content has held up remarkably well. Though of course it hasn\u2019t even been a year since the MOOC ran the first time around. One significant thing that has changed in the past year is that Col. Hadfield\u2019s Space Oddity video \u2014 which I used as an example in unit 1 \u2014 has been taken down from YouTube. But I\u2019m not going to remake the video just for that; the example still works, even if students can\u2019t get to the original. As for saying something stupid, well, I\u2019m used to that by now. Students were kind enough to point out in the discussion forums when I misspoke. (And I mean that completely un-ironically: I actually do appreciate being corrected, as long as it\u2019s done nicely.) Instead of remaking entire videos when I misspeak, I\u2019m simply inserting a note into the video (using the in-video quiz tool, but with only text and no quiz) that says, basically: \u201cWhat I really meant to say here was\u2026\u201d\nThe second category of thing that needs doing to prep for a MOOC the 2nd time is revising quizzes and homework questions. Turns out that this is what\u2019s taking the most time. Questions that we thought were clear turned out not to be. (And this is why you pretest survey questions, kids.) Snippets of markup that we asked students to write generated syntax errors. Students suggested in the discussion forums that what we had as correct answers were incorrect. Some of these were real and significant issues, some were not. But either way, every one needed to be investigated and a decision made about whether to fix it or not. I believe that our in-video quizzes and end-of-unit homeworks will be better now\u2026 but I suppose it\u2019s inevitable that there will be new problems this time around.\nThe third category of thing that needs doing is coordinating with my TAs. This has actually been the most straightforward of all. As I said, Marla has been right on top of the re-launch prep from the get-go. I\u2019ve given my SILS-funded TA some tasks, then backed off to let her do them. Because she\u2019s a competent adult (I wouldn\u2019t have hired her if she wasn\u2019t), & I tend to be a somewhat laissez-faire advisor. And while I\u2019ve been in contact with the one student so far who has agreed to be a Community TA, I haven\u2019t given her any work to do yet. Because it seems like that would be exploiting the Community TA role a bit. My understanding is that a Community TA\u2019s job is to provide support to other students in the discussion forums, not to get involved in the course management. Of course, I imagine that as we get closer to the launch date for the MOOC, my interaction with my TAs, and presumably their interactions with each other, will get more frequent, and their workload will get more intense.\nSo there you have it. Prep for round two of the Metadata MOOC is well underway. Stay tuned for more news of the MOOC, as things progress.\nTags: Metadata, MOOC, teaching",

        "raw_content": "The Lost Lesson Of Instant Typing\nFarhad Manjoo writing in Slate about Google Wave:\nThe trouble is, everything you type into Wave is transmitted live, in real time \u2014 every keystroke was getting sent to Zach just as I hit it. This made me too self-conscious to get my thoughts across.\n\u2026 Maybe I should just delete what I\u2019d written and say, \u201cTwitter works because it\u2019s simple.\u201d But I couldn\u2019t do that, because Zach was watching me. He could see me struggling right now\u2014he could see that I\u2019d gotten myself stuck in a textual cul-de-sac and that I was desperately searching for a way out without looking foolish. Now I saw Zach beginning to type: \u201cDon\u2019t let the live-typing get you down!\u201d The game was up; what was the point of making a point now? I ended my thought clumsily and then resolved never to attempt to say anything very deep on Wave.\nThe same thing happened seven years ago with the live-typing feature that I implemented in iChat 1.0 (which was only supported for Bonjour chats.) I thought it was an awesome idea, and I\u2019d wanted to have it in a chat program since about 1997. But it turned out that, in actual use, people hated it, for exactly the reasons Manjoo describes: it makes you self-conscious. We took it out in the next release.\n(Interestingly, I hate video chat for a very similar reason. Somehow, the fact that my picture is being shown in real time to the remote person makes me horrifically self-conscious, even though it wouldn\u2019t bother me at all to talk face-to-face with that person. I don\u2019t know whether it\u2019s the little preview on my screen, or the fact that the person is spookily both present and not-present, but the few times I\u2019ve tried video-chat have been really unpleasant.)\nI\u2019m usually on the side of more technology. I believe that our online communications tools are still horribly primitive and have only scratched the surface of what\u2019s possible. But this was a case where more technology was bad.\nThe low-tech alternative that lots of people use in IM,\nis to write in short fragments,\neach a separate message,\nso the other person can see them one by one\nwithout waiting for you to finish the whole sentence.\nThe difference is that you\u2019re in control over when to send a partial message, and the other person knows you\u2019re in control, and so on. I still think it might be possible to do this in a higher-tech way, like using a hot-key to send a partial message on demand without having the funky line-breaks, but the current approach isn\u2019t so bad as long as you\u2019re not embarrassed about unintentional free verse.\nI could have told the Wave people about what I\u2019d learned, except I didn\u2019t know Wave existed until April (shortly before the public announcement), and even then I was just some guy lost in the crowd at the demos\u2026.\nPart of the problem, in both cases, is that live typing is one of those Cool Demo Features that looks really awesome when showing off the app. Features like that can be dangerous because they are legitimately very useful during the app\u2019s gestation, when exciting demos are a key survival trait; but then they can\u2019t be removed later on because they\u2019re so well-known, even if they turn out to be useless. Sometimes these features aren\u2019t actually harmful to the user experience, they just make the code more complex and harder to maintain. Instant typing is both, unfortunately. (The clever sync algorithms and rapid-fire network messages Wave uses would be needed even without live typing, but the fact that they have to run on every few keystrokes, not just every minute or so, pushes those things so much harder.)\nui computers me Published on October 14, 2009 Jens Alfke",

If you need a custom term paper related to the subject of Immigration or The Immigration Debate , you can hire a professional writer here in just a few clicks.\nThe effects that immigration has on the United States are limitless. There have been endless debates over these effects since as early as the colonial times. The economic, fiscal and demographic effects are three major topics that tend to rule these debates. Based on both positive and negative effects immigration has on the economical, fiscal, and demographic sides of the United States, one can conclude that immigration is good, but should be limited.\nThe effect of immigration on the economy is a major topic discussed among much of the nation. It is said to have both positive and negative effects that cancel each other out. Many agree that immigration brings a gain to the economy. James Smith gives an explanation of how the immigrants increase the economy, yet still may have negative effects for some people:\nAt the most basic level, immigrants increase the supply of labor and help produce new goods and services. But since they are paid less than the total value of these new goods and services, domestic workers as a group must gain. On the production side, immigration allows domestic workers to be used more productively, specializing in producing goods at which they are relatively more efficient. Specialization in consumption also yields gain. Even when the economy as a whole gains, however, there may be losers as well as gainers among different groups of United States residents. (4)\nSome argue that while immigrants help the growth of the United States economy, the effect is very small. According to David Lagesse, a recent study says immigrants contribute as much as $10 billion in economic growth each year, largely because they help keep prices lower. But the effect is small on a United States economy that produces nearly $8 trillion (1). It has also been argued that the poverty rate of the United States has been negatively effected by immigration. Peter Brimelow agrees, saying, because many immigrants are relatively unskilled, their poverty rate is significantly higher at 18 percent, compared to the 12.1 percent poverty rate for the native-born (11).\nImmigrant workers also play a role in the economy. There has been a debate within the last few years involving the computer industry and immigrants. Many companies feel that there are not enough skilled people in the United States to fill the demand for computer programmers. They also argue that these companies do not give Americans the chance to work in these positions, and are unwilling to retrain older programmers. They want only people trained with the latest computer skills, and look to foreigners to fill these demands. Roy Beck explains that industry officials counter that American programmers often don t have the specific skill needed for a new task and that companies like to be able to scout the whole world for somebody who can step right in and do the job (141). Beck also argues that for other businesses, the preference for foreign workers is no accident; they are looking for people who will work for less money and put up with worse working conditions (142). Only in areas with high concentrations of low-skilled, low-paid immigrants are state and local taxpayers paying more on average to support the publicly funded services that these immigrants use (Lagesse). While the immigration of workers does have its downside, it mainly has a positive effect:\nThe benefits of immigration however are manifold. Immigrants are highly entrepreneurial. Their rate of business start-ups and self employment tend to be higher than that of United States born citizens. Immigrants contribute to the global competitiveness of US corporations, particularly in high technology industries. Perhaps the most important benefit is that immigrants come to the United States with critically needed talents, energies that serve as an engine for economic progress (Kposowa 78).\nThe benefits and downfalls of the immigration workers both play a big part in today s debate over immigration. It is clear that each side of the debate has both good and bad points.\nA second aspect of immigration that has been debated is the fiscal effect of immigration on the United States. The fiscal effects of immigration vary widely, causing it to be another no-win debate. According to Smith, the difference between taxes from households of immigrants, and the cost of government services for that household help measure the fiscal results of immigration (8). The fiscal impact is different at each level. Normally, the fiscal impact is positive at the federal level, and negative at the state level. Because the negative state impacts are concentrated in the few states that receive the majority of immigrants, some states experience fiscal burdens from immigrants (Smith 12). The age of the children of immigrants plays a role in the fiscal impacts of immigrant households. Households headed by immigrants include the native-born school-age children of immigrants, who incur high costs of public education, but do not include the native-born children of immigrants, who have a positive fiscal impact. For this reason, current fiscal impacts estimated for immigrant-headed households are biased towards negative numbers (Smith 352). The long-term fiscal contributions that immigrants make, however, will vary depending on such factors as education and age of arrival to the United States. Immigrants with higher levels of education will pay more taxes in the long term because they have higher incomes. But immigrants who don't have high school educations and those who are age 50 or older on arrival may receive more benefits than they pay in taxes (Lagesse).\nThe fiscal impacts of immigration are obviously very dependent on several different factors, and hard to classify as either good or bad.\nThe Demographics of the United States is a third point commonly discussed in the debate over immigration. With the continuation of immigration to the United States comes higher populations and changing of the percentage of different races within each city. This major change has caused major controversy within these cities. Immigrants are starting to settle in more and more states than before, and taking some towns by surprise. Some greet them with open arms, and welcome a new culture into their area. Others feel invaded and fight the sudden increase in population and race differences within their area. The sudden change in population within these cities has formed a need for bilingual teachers, policemen, and general servicemen (Bustos 1). While some see this as a threat, it can also be viewed as a positive step towards bringing down the boundaries between culture, race, and countries.\nOne can see that limited immigration is good based on the good and bad results immigration has on the economical, fiscal, and demographic positions of the United States. The positive and negative effects that immigration in general and workers have on the economy cancel each other out. Many factors influence the United States fiscal situation, including age, causing the federal fiscal level to generally be positive, while the state level is normally negative. The fact that so many factors influence the fiscal situation proves that one can never determine whether immigration has a good or bad effect on the United States. The increase in population caused by immigration is also causing both good and bad problems in the United States, causing some people to feel threatened, while others feel a sense of togetherness. Without immigration the United States would not be what it is today. Almost everything in life has both good and bad qualities, but with a little regulation and control they can turn out to be positive. Immigration is one of those instances in life where with a little regulation immigration can be a great push towards a better future.",

        "raw_content": "\u00bb There is a life Riding on it.\nIn September last year, Nikki-Anne Mooney\u2019s family were delivered the devastating news that Nikki-Anne\u2019s brother, Timothy McKenzie, 23, was involved in a serious motorbike accident on Ann Street, Kallangur and that he was in a critical condition. A 33-year-old woman had been attempting to make a right turn when she collided with his bike while he was traveling in the opposite direction. Sadly, he passed away in the Royal Brisbane and Women\u2019s Hospital two weeks after the accident. Just days later, a 43-year-old man was also tragically killed on Ann Street, whilst riding his motorcycle. Since the untimely passing of her brother, Nikki-Anne has launched a campaign to assist in raising awareness to motorists to keep an eye out for fellow road users. Her Facebook page, Australian Motorcycle Safety Awareness, currently has a following of 724 people, with informative posts regarding road safety appearing in their newsfeed regularly. Earlier this year Nikki-Anne organized a ride in memorial of Timothy. Sixty-nine riders took part. Starting at Sutton\u2019s Beach in Redcliffe, the riders ended their journey at Ann Street, Kallangur with Timothy\u2019s mum, Debbie McKenzie there to greet them. The other purpose of the ride was to remind road users to remain vigilant with checking for motorbikes, ensuring that they check their mirrors and over shoulder regularly. Lane filtering laws came into effect on February 1st, 2015. This change to the Queensland road rules now allows motorcycles to weave between cars to better position themselves by moving between stationary or slow-moving vehicles, which aids in reducing congestion on the roads. Please be aware of motorcycles lane filtering! Motorcycle safety \u2013 get the facts Motorcycle riders are among our most vulnerable road users. Motorcycles make up around one in every twenty motor vehicles registered in Queensland, that\u2019s approximately 200,000 registered motorcycles on our roads. Fifty-four motorcyclists were killed in 2015, which represents a 45.9% increase from 2014, and 13.9% increase over the previous five years. Motorcycle riding in Queensland is influenced by the seasons. Fine, cooler weather in late Autumn/early Winter can encourage more riding, and these times have been associated with an increased number of motorcycle crashes.\nAn analysis of fatal motorcyclist crashes reveals the greatest at risk riders are:\nmale aged between 21 and 29 or 50 and 59 years\nriding on weekends on recreational routes in South East Queensland\ndisobeying one or more road rules\nspeeding affected by drugs or alcohol\nover their blood alcohol concentration limit\nunlicensed riders riding an unregistered motorcycle",

The basis of this model was to engage communities in working together towards improving their own communities, so that they are able to take charge and lead their own development agenda, mobilize existing local resources and invest the resources to meet both present and future development needs. The model continues to inform all KCDF initiatives to date.\nWith support from Kenyans and organizations such as Aga Khan Foundation and Ford Foundation, KCDF was born. Since 1997, KCDF has supported communities to define, implement and sustain projects using their own resources.\nThe year 2000 was identified by the organization as a year of affirmative action for asset development, and since that time, KCDF has attempted to balance its major functions of grant making and asset development.",

Despite its prevalence, the disease is difficult to diagnose early with the vast majority of individuals already having significant neuronal death prior to therapeutic intervention. PD is characterized by the lysosome\u2019s unusual inability to dispose of \u03b1-synuclein in areas of the brain that primarily control motor function. Recently, studies have shown that in post-mortem brain samples from suspected PD patients, there is a deficiency in the activity of the lysosomal enzyme glucocerebrosidase (GCase). GCase is a retaining \u03b2-glucosidase that hydrolyzes glucosylceramide in the lysosomes of normal cells. Interestingly, deficiency in enzyme activity was found in both early or late stages of the disease suggesting that GCase could be a biomarker of early PD. To validate GCase as a potential biomarker this thesis focuses on the development of molecular probes for the detection of GCase activity in biological systems. Recently the Phenix lab has developed a class of N-alkylated conduritol aziridines that were shown to be potent and selective irreversible inhibitors of GCase in vitro. A new synthesis pathway has been developed to synthesize these compounds more efficiently and which can be adaptable for producing fluorescent derivatives for in vitro imaging and radioactive derivatives for in vivo imaging. Two new fluorescent derivatives have been developed as well two fluorinated derivatives for future radiolabelling. The development of techniques to radiolabel these compounds is shown in this work. Future work will be done to optimize radiolabelling and test these molecular probes for imaging GCase in biologically relevant systems to validate it as a biomarker for PD.",

Poorly chosen diets make more harm than help. The best option is to use proven companies solutions, clinics, only then the safety, control and individual approach are guaranteed. Even though we need to pay for such solutions, we gain a guarantee -a guarantee of effect and safety.\nI started ths entry from the fact that diets are often written on rigidly, without consultation with the potential \u201cuser\u201d. A lot of people don\u2019t think about it and do not realize how important stage it is in matching diet. Each of us lives and works differently, our timetable looks differently. Perfectly chosen diet will take into account those aspects of our lives, as much as possible to optimize its effect. Of course, the most important thing is our commitment but that\u2019s different topic, maybe for next time.",

        "raw_content": "IT SAYS MUCH FOR LABOUR\u2019S vice-like grip over the north of England that one of the most disappointing results on 5 May was in Manchester. For the first time in several years, a Labour seat was lost to a Liberal Democrat. Manchester has 96 councillors. Now only 95 of them are Labour.\nSome 2,604 council seats for 124 councils across the country were up for grabs \u2013 but despite the dire predictions of the Labour right for weeks beforehand that Jeremy Corbyn\u2019s Labour would haemorrhage hundreds of seats, the overall loss nationally was just 18 seats. Only a handful of these were in the North and in most places there were gains to compensate for the losses.\nIn Stockport, for the first time in over 20 years, Labour became the largest single party. Lib Dem council leader Sue Derbyshire lost her seat to Labour\u2019s Charlie Stewart by 437 votes. And before the results were even announced there was another Labour \u2018gain\u2019 as a councillor who was not up for election defected from the Lib Dems to Labour.\nHung councils in West Yorkshire like Calderdale and Kirklees again returned Labour as the biggest group with a minority administration. Some 26 of the 32 Metropolitan boroughs at stake this year were in northern strongholds like Leeds, Liverpool, Barnsley, and Newcastle. Not one of them changed hands. One of the few Conservative boroughs is Trafford in Greater Manchester, where the Tories had expected to make gains. Even here Labour gained a seat from an Independent.\nSalford stayed solidly Labour and also had its mayoral elections with left wing councillor and Corbyn supporter Paul Dennett easily defeating Conservative Robin Garrido with over 66% of the vote after second preferences were counted. Cllr Dennett almost won on the first round of voting, where he got 49.56%. In the North-East, cities like Newcastle have no Conservative councillors at all and Labour\u2019s vote share at 45% was way ahead of the Lib Dems at 23%. Labour also retained control of Sunderland, Gateshead and South Tyneside councils, gaining a seat in Sunderland, and two in Newcastle. In South Tyneside Labour won all seats, including the only Conservative one.\nPerhaps the most telling indication of Labour\u2019s domination of the North is in Liverpool, the Tories coming in fourth behind the Greens with just 4.4%.",

The thing about being a blogger, is people only get to see the things that you choose to put out there- the pretty things, the good days, the yummy recipes, and the beautiful pictures. What you don't see are the REAL things that go on behind the scenes, the crappy days, the recipes that end up being thrown away, and the pictures that, even though you took 120 pictures, the lighting just wasn't right. I feel like I only write the funny cute things, but none of the stuff that's actually\u2026 going on in my life. So let's be real. I wanna talk. I don't know why, but it hit me this weekend that\u2026 I really don't have many friends. And it's getting old. Sure, I have three close friends and they're OHMYGOSHTHEFREAKINGBESTEST. But over the last year and a half since moving to Namibia, I haven't really clicked with anyone. And I think for the well being of a person, they NEED that person that they click with- they can cry with, laugh with, dance with, and be crazy with. I have a weird thing where I don't cry often, but when I do, it just comes in a random flood of emotions and the gates break open and the tears come pouring. Sunday night at youth group, during worship, I all of a sudden couldn't sing the lyrics. My eyes started feeling like they were about to pop out of my head from holding back all the tears that were threatening to spill. After worship, my nose was running and one of the leaders came up to me and asked me if I was feeling sick. And at that question, I just let go. I burst into tears. I sat down and just\u2026 couldn't stop. Then one of my best friends came up, asked if I was okay, and asked if I needed to talk. I nodded my head and we headed outside. I told him what was going on. I feel excluded. and lonely. Things have gotten mixed up and I've been hurt. I was sitting there thinking I have no friends when I had a wonderful one sitting right there, letting me cry my eyeballs out, and encouraging me to the best of his ability. Sure, I could sit here feeling sorry for myself, OR I could be thankful for the gosh dang awesome people God HAS put in my life and do my best to meet new people. So that's what I'm going to do. I'm struggling, yes, and have been feeling like I'm on the verge of tears all weekend. My eyes burn from crying so much, and my mind is confused by a million and five things. But I'll get through it and at the end, I'll be a better person because of the trials I've gone through and the courage I've taken to step out of my comfort zone. So what the heck does this have to do with breakfast? Well not much. Other than the fact that when I'm stressed and feeling like a pile of dog crap, I go into the kitchen and whip up something yummy, and for those few minutes, everything's ok. Be cool. Eat food.\n2 c. muesli\nIn a small bowl, combine the muesli, seeds, flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. Add eggs, honey, milk, and applesauce. Pour batter into a greased 9x7 pan. Bake at 375\u00baF for 20-25 minutes.\nLabels: apple, breakfast, cinnamon, granola, healthy, oatmeal, oats\nThatsWhatMarySays May 28, 2013 at 9:19 AM\nwell I hope you have a great day, Sophie. I'll keep you in my thoughts. I'm homeschooled as well, so I can understand why your'e feeling lonely. It can be hard sometimes. Just remember that your'e young, and it will get better. High school sucks. :P And remember the phrase, \"Every day may not be good, but there is something good in every day.\" xxx Mary\nThank you SO much for that reminder :) And yes. High school sucks.\nMona Elissa May 28, 2013 at 2:29 PM\nHaving a few close friends is so much better than a lot of \"friends\" who are more like strangers. Focus on the people who really matter!\nhttp://chinupbuttercup.org\nSo true! Thanks :)\nI totally get what your going through. I feel like that a lot! hopefully it gets better! The breakfast looks amazing!\nThanks! I'm feeling better already. I just had a really tough weekend. :)\nThis baked muesli looks super yummy! I hope you are feeling better! You'll figure things out. I have been going through a really tough patch. I write and blog and fear my dreams will never come true and I'll just be stuck forever because my blog won't grow and my books won't sell. I really have no friends other than my mom and I've never had a boyfriend. But like you, I'm lucky in a lot of ways and I have to be thankful for that. What gets me through is believing things will all work out in the end. I hope that helps you too :)\nCiel411 May 31, 2013 at 4:01 PM\nHey Sophie! I've been there! I mean, I've REALLY been there. I am 43 years old, but I was once a 14 year-old girl living in Africa with my missionary parents. I grew up in Ivory Coast (Cote d'Ivoire) and that's where I learned to love to cook. It was so boring that I started reading the encyclopedia and then when I got bored with that, I started reading cookbooks. When I was 16 my Mom let me make all the lunches for a whole week of conferences we had in Daloa, Cote d'Ivoire. Each day I made a different nationality...one day, French Onion Soup, another Tacos, etc. The French missionary said it was the best French Onion Soup he'd ever tasted. I'm sure he was just being nice, but I've been looking for that recipe ever since! Well, you hang in there...I am very social and had a hard time after my brother graduated from high school and I was still left at home. I ended up making a couple friends from church and I made friends with some French kids and Lebanese kids. I made some of my most precious memories during that time - I loved learning about how kids in other cultures acted (kissing every body in the whole party on both cheeks to say hello AND goodbye - very time consuming but a sweet custom), zooming around town on their mopeds, starting little businesses of their own. Anyway, just wanted to say Hang In There, it gets better! My time spent in Africa formed who I am as a grown person and I'll never forget those times.",

Now, many leather manufacturers need to make it transparent how they produce leather items without this substance. The specialty chemicals company LANXESS provides the industry with suitable alternatives without the need to make any compromises with regard to the quality of the finished leather.\nDr. Martin Kleban, HSEQ representative in the Leather business unit at LANXESS: \u201cWe extensively removed NMP from the leather chemicals in our product range a long time ago. By developing suitable alternatives, we offer a range of over 30 NMP-free binders for finishing and enable our customers to operate consistently without the use of NMP. We have been offering solutions in accordance with the REACH regulation for many years.\u201d\nNMP was traditionally used in industry for the production of polyurethane coatings as a co-solvent, in order to improve the adhesion and penetration of the intermediate layer.\nSustainable leather production\nSustainability is becoming increasingly important in the leather industry. As part of its \u201cSustainable Leather Management\u201d program, LANXESS therefore based its range of chemical products for leather production around the concept of sustainability. Modern, future-oriented leather production must reconcile economic interests, environmental compatibility, and consumer benefits. Achieving this balance is the fundamental principle of the LANXESS initiative \u201cSustainable Leather Management\u201d. The Leather business unit provides its customers with innovative technologies and products throughout the entire value chain in order to support the production of high-quality, sustainable, and environmentally friendly leather.\nFor detailed information about the \u201cSustainable Leather Management\u201d program and about LANXESS products and services for the leather industry, please visit www.leather.lanxess.com.\nLANXESS has minimized the leather chemicals containing NMP in its product range. By offering suitable alternatives, leather manufacturers can operate without the use of NMP. Photo: LANXESS AG",

While this is a tragic topic, children still need to be provided for after the loss of a parent and the law does recognize that need. There has been a gap between science and the law, but in recent years the Florida legislature as well as the Supreme Court has made an effort to address the particular nuances of government benefits and inheritance of this particular class of children.\nIt is important to understand the difference between a child conceived before a parent died and a child conceived after death, as this difference affects the child\u2019s ability to inherent from the parent. An \u201cafter-born heir\u201d is a child conceived during the life of a parent, but after the death of the parent. Florida Statute \u00a7732.106 provides specifically for children born in this manner. The statute says in part, \u201cheirs of the decedent conceived before his or her death, but born thereafter, inherit intestate property as if they had been born in the decedent\u2019s lifetime.\u201d This allows a child born after the death of a parent to inherit just like any other child of that person would.\nThis is different from the case where a parent makes the decision to use the egg, sperm or preembryo of a deceased significant other to have a child. The deceased parent may not have had knowledge of this child before death. According to Florida Statute \u00a7742.17 (4), \u201ca child conceived from the eggs or sperm of a person or persons who died before the transfer of their eggs, sperm, or preembryos to a woman\u2019s body shall not be eligible for a claim against the decedent\u2019s estate unless the child has been provided for by the decedent\u2019s will.\u201d Essentially, the child posthumously born to a deceased parent who is not provided for in the deceased parent\u2019s will cannot inherit with other naturally born children of the deceased. The circumstances surrounding the conception of the child determine that child\u2019s ability to claim inheritance.",

        "raw_content": "Celebrate contributions, discuss struggles of Asian-Americans\nAs Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month winds down this May, it\u2019s important to discuss both the remarkable achievements and the staggering struggles of this diverse racial group.\nThe celebratory month began as \u201cAsian/Pacific American Heritage Week,\u201d signed into law by President Jimmy Carter in 1978. In 1992, the observance expanded into a full month.\nMay was chosen to commemorate the arrival of the first Japanese immigrant on May 7, 1843. It also marks the anniversary of the completion of the transcontinental railroad, which was built largely by Chinese laborers, on May 10, 1869.\nEvery May, federal and local governments, educational institutions and community organizations celebrate the contributions of the AAPI community, the fastest growing population in the country. And there\u2019s a lot to celebrate.\nMore than half of Asian-Americans nationally ages 25 and older have a bachelor\u2019s degree or higher level of education. As a whole, Asian-Americans as a group also have a higher annual household income than the median U.S. household.\nAsian-Americans have also made significant strides in fields like business, technology and even entertainment. Stars and celebrities like NBA player Jeremy Lin, actress Mindy Kaling and designer Vera Wang are all household names.\nBut often ignored are the disparities and hurdles that exist within this diverse community. Despite educational and economic success as a whole, individual ethnic groups like Bangladeshi, Hmong, Nepalese and Burmese families have among the highest poverty rates in the country.\nAsians also make up 13 percent of the total undocumented immigration population in the United States, leaving them vulnerable to deportation, lack of services and anti-immigrant rhetoric.\nSouth Asian communities face increasingly hostile Islamophobia, bullying and hate crimes in the wake of the September 11 attacks. Pacific Islanders are often left out completely from the conversation.\nAsian-Americans face challenges with physical and mental health, such as chronic Hepatitis B, a lack of political representation, and discrimination in employment, housing and education.\nAs May comes to a close, every celebration of Asian-American heritage and achievement should come with a robust, critical conversation about these challenges.\nBy highlighting these barriers and bringing them to the forefront, Asian American and Pacific Islander leaders can address them head on to create a more just and equitable society.",

        "raw_content": "Time for a real discussion on specialized high schools\nMayor Bill de Blasio and Chancellor Richard Carranza were wrong to try to shove legislation changing the admissions process to the city\u2019s elite high schools down the State Legislature\u2019s throat.\nBut now that Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie has blocked the bill until the next legislative session, it\u2019s time to have a frank discussion on the state of the specialized high schools.\nLet\u2019s be honest. The current admissions system is not working for the majority of New York City\u2019s public school students. Black and Latino students make up 70 percent of the city\u2019s student population, but a mere fraction of the student body at the top high schools.\nWhen Stuyvesant High School only admits ten African-American students in an incoming class of 900, there is clearly a problem.\nThe Specialized High School Admissions Test (SHSAT) does not measure aptitude or intelligence. It cannot pick out the best or brightest students, only the students who are the most prepared for the test.\nAllowing one high-stakes test, which can and has been gamed, to determine the future of so many is unfair to both students and families.\nCritics of the plan say the mayor should focus his efforts on desegregating K-to-8 public schools. We agree. But that shouldn\u2019t mean he should turn a blind eye to the egregious results of a so-called \u201cmeritocratic\u201d system that has systematically left out black and Latino students.\nAsian-Americans are understandably upset by the proposed changed. Given their high enrollment at prestigious schools like Stuyvesant and Bronx Science, they may have the most to lose.\nThey should absolutely be part of the conversation for any reforms moving forward. But they have to be open to having a real discussion, with the possibility of changing the admissions process to make these schools reflective of the wealth of talent across all races and ethnicities.\nMore importantly, let\u2019s include the voices and narratives of those who have been left out of the process entirely: black and Latino families. Let everyone have a seat at the table, and figure out an equitable solution together.",

Of making big and small changes to their lives. They are quitting their jobs and starting work in a completely different field. They are moving to new cities and creating a new life. They are standing up for their beliefs or a cause close to their heart more vocally than ever before. Everyone seems to be standing taller. There is this urgency in it. A stirring.

        "title": "Food Safety: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.- Gina M. Crome, M.S., M.P.H., R.D.",
        "raw_content": "A foodborne illness (more commonly called food poisoning) can occur when we eat contaminated food that contains pathogenic bacteria, viruses or actual parasites. The statistics of occurrence are overwhelming. According to the FDA, foodborne pathogens are responsible for 76 million gastrointestinal illnesses, 325,000 hospitalizations and 5000 deaths each year in the United States. Summertime picnics and family gatherings are common this time of year so it\u2019s important that we understand the basics of food safety and how we can protect ourselves.\nWhen we hear the word \u201cbacteria\u201d it often conjures up negative images. But not all bacteria are pathogenic or have the ability to cause illness. For instance, yogurt is little more than flavored milk with bacteria added. This kind of bacteria is known as probiotic meaning that it\u2019s introduced intentionally to the body as a means of bringing good bacteria into the gut. This so called \u201cgood bacteria\u201d helps keep the bad (or pathogenic) bacteria in check by using up some of the bad bacteria\u2019s resources they need to stay alive.\nIn general, ideal growing conditions for bacteria are moist environments with temperatures between 41-135 degrees Fahrenheit. Food safety experts call this the \u201cDanger Zone\u201d meaning that if you hold foods for periods of time between those temperatures, you are more likely to propagate the growth of bacterial colonies. Think about your recent 4th of July barbeque feast. Moist foods such as potato and pasta salads are particularly susceptible to bacterial growth because they are either left out on the table for long periods of time at room temperature as people serve themselves, subjected to insects, or become contaminated through serving utensils and handling. Here\u2019s another example- have you ever thawed a piece of frozen chicken in warm water? As that chicken sits there in a comfy warm water bath (well within danger zone temperatures), millions of bacteria have the opportunity to begin emerging which could potentially make us sick. And if you think cooking it immediately will kill off all the germs, you\u2019d be wrong.\nBecause bacteria can be introduced into food from hands, soiled utensils, or via insects such as flies, the best defense is to wash your hands frequently-especially before handling food. It\u2019s a simple concept that we\u2019ve all heard time and time again that can\u2019t be stressed enough. We also want to ensure that food is protected from insects by covering the dish when not in use. Likewise, serving utensils should not be handled in the area that comes in contact with the food. At the end of a meal, it\u2019s best to cool your foods quickly in shallow pans in order to decrease the amount of time in those danger zone temperatures.\nThe symptoms of food poisoning vary greatly depending on the pathogen. Some have a quick onset meaning you\u2019ll begin to notice symptoms such as nausea and/or vomiting within 30 minutes after eating, while others may take as long as 2 days to emerge. Some will produce fever and chills while others only cause gastric distress. Foodborne illness is not only very serious but can leave a person vulnerable to dehydration which can have deadly consequences. So if you suspect food poisoning, seek medical attention immediately. However, an easier answer is to decrease your chances of contracting it in the first place by taking the right steps to protect your food this summer and throughout the year.",

        "raw_content": "Diabetes created a global impact. It does come in line with deadly diseases scaring people around the world. Having acquired the does not mean that the world will stop revolving but rather it must be the start of the change within oneself.\nDiabetes type 1 is called juvenile diabetes. It is disease from birth. The body is unable to produce insulin to aid in the breakdown of carbohydrates thus resulting to an increased blood sugar in the body. Diabetes type 2 on the other hand can be controlled by diet. It is a lifestyle disease and your change in lifestyle is the key to controlling this disease.\nWith type 2 being controlled, all you have to do is to choose the food you eat. There are available diabetic vitamins in the market for consumption. These vitamins help in lowering blood sugar.\nVitamin B complex is one of the diabetic vitamins you are supposed to take. It helps in the breakdown of carbohydrates, fats and protein resulting to a balance blood sugar levels in the body. Vitamin B12 as part of the complex family of Vitamin B helps in insulating myelin so as not to be scarred by electrical impulses running through the nerve cells. This process reduces the occurrence of nerve damage among diabetic patients.\nVitamin D is also a part of diabetic vitamins. It is found also in the pancreas and is believed to have its part in increasing insulin levels making way for carbohydrates and complex sugars to be absorbed in the body after it is converted into glucose. This glucose is used as energy source to keep you going every day.\nAnother important vitamin under the umbrella of diabetic vitamins is vitamin c. one of the signs of diabetes is polyuria or excessive urination. Vitamin c works by replacing the protein loss during urination.\nVitamin D has significantly helped also in the fight against diabetes. It works and has a major part in the angiotensin conversion phase and sees to it that not all the nutrients from the body will be eliminated as urine. It is a regulator of blood pressure which is directly connected with the fluids going in and out of the body. Increased levels have been attributed to low blood sugar levels.\nIt is not a crime to resort to taking diabetic vitamins especially it is the one thing that can help you as you control this disease. Remember that vitamins are best taken from fruits and vegetables as these are absorbed by the body easily. If you want to take vitamin supplements, just do not forget to take a consultation on your doctor to guide you and help you with your queries and concerns.\nLearn more about .

I was delighted that it was, in the main, so well received. A Maiden Speech is where Members of Parliament get the chance to outline what they want to do in the House of Commons during their first term. I absolutely want to be, first and foremost, a good constituency MP who is easily accessible and visible in the constituency,\nParliament went into Recess on 21 July and since then I have continued to work hard in the constituency, holding surgeries and meeting folk by appointment to pursue their issues. All of this work has been greatly helped by the opening of my Constituency Office in the Dalziel Building, next to the First Stop Shop in Motherwell. I am very well supported by two excellent members of staff and I hope to appoint a third member soon. I plan to employ a Modern Apprentice in the future as well.\nI have met with Gavin Whitefield, Chief Executive of North Lanarkshire Council and discussed issues of concern including, Wishaw Town Centre, increased HGV traffic on the A71 and the proposed housing development on Green Belt land between Gowkthrapple and Overtown. The proposal is to build 900 houses here which will completely change this part of South Wishaw. The types of housing proposed will not meet the local need for more social housing and will place undue strain on local roads, schools and Wishaw General Hospital. It seems senseless to try to build here when the Ravenscraig site, which is just down the road, is still awaiting further development.\nI have also met with Blane Dodds the Chief Executive of North Lanarkshire Leisure and hope to do \u201cpop up\u201d surgeries in Leisure Centres soon. I have also had an interesting visit to see Advice in Action at the Citizens Advice Bureau in Motherwell. Police Scotland have also kept me informed about local issues and I am very pleased that the children who vandalised Cambusnethan Cemetery have been identified and will go through the Children\u2019s Panel system.\nFinally I am delighted to have been made an Ambassador for St Andrew\u2019s Hospice and I have also agreed to help contact businesses in the area for help with the Capital Appeal the Hospice has launched to help to modernise and refurbish the facility.",

        "raw_content": "How to Handle a Blood & Bodily Fluid Cleanup: South Jersey Accidents\nApril 5, 2018 \u2022 Biohazard Cleanup, Safety Tips\nBlood is considered a biohazard and exposure to it can be dangerous. Human blood, human blood components, and products made of human blood \u2014 can expose you to a number of bloodborne pathogens: HIV, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, MRSA, and other transmittable diseases.\nBloodshed After an Accident in South Jersey\nSome things in life are simply inevitable, accidents being one of them. Sometimes, even if you follow all the rules and safety precautions, accidents happen. In the event that an accident leads to bloodshed, be sure to proceed with caution. Blood is considered a biohazard and is potentially one of the most hazardous materials to cleanup. Blood can contain harmful bacterias, dangerous viruses and other hazardous, bloodborne pathogens. When it comes to blood spills, OSHA\u2019s approach to infection control is to treat all human blood and bodily fluids as if they were infected with a bloodborne pathogens.\nWhen there is an accident that leads to some kind of blood spill in a New Jersey property, minor or severe, it is important to act quickly and carefully. When managing a situation that involves blood and bodily fluids, safety should always be the absolute first priority. Areas of blood contamination should be blocked off and isolated to avoid contamination to clean materials and to keep people away from the scene. Before approaching the contaminated area or areas, be sure to put on appropriate personal protective equipment (i.e.:gloves, masks, eye protection, etc.). While very small areas of blood on hard, non-porous surfaces might be manageable on your own with the right equipment, serious blood spills should be handled by trained blood cleanup professionals in South Jersey.\nCleaning Up an Accidental Blood Spill in New Jersey\nEvery situation will be different depending various factors. Depending on the cause and the extent of the blood contamination in your NJ home or business, you may need to hire a professional in your New Jersey area to handle the biohazard cleanup. Depending on your specific situation, blood may have had the opportunity to travel and absorb into materials that can be easily overlooked. A surface cleaning done on your own may overlook unseen body fluids which, if left undetected, could cause infection or spread disease. It is a general misconception that serious blood spill onto porous materials like carpet or cloth can be effectively cleaned. If porous materials have been contaminated with blood and bodily fluids, these items need to be properly disposed.\nIn some minor cases of blood contamination on a non-porous surface, you might be able to handle the cleanup on your own as long as you use personal protection and have the appropriate cleaning tools. A good general rule of thumb is to use a dinner plate as a reference. A blood spill on a hard, non-porous surface that is smaller than the diameter of a dinner plate should be manageable on our own. However, blood cleanup of any size can be dangerous and emotionally overwhelming. If at any point you feel overwhelmed or in danger, please contact a professional NJ biohazard cleanup company to help.\nWe cannot stress enough the dangers associated with exposure to hazardous fluids like blood and bodily fluids. If you have a serious blood spill on your hands due to an accident or traumatic event, you may need blood and trauma cleanup services in your New Jersey area.

        "raw_content": "Ideas Tap \u2013 Feb 27\nMatthew Lewis on child stars\nActor Matthew Lewis played Neville Longbottom in the Harry Potter films, and has since worked in theatre and TV. He shares his tips for working with kids on set, getting the most of out of your agent and knowing when to go to the director for help\u2026\nHow have you changed since your child acting days?\nBetween Harry Potter two and three I just grew up \u2013 got significantly taller and slimmed out. I had to wear a fat suit and false teeth to make me look more Neville-like. When I finished the last film and went to the premier without a fat suit on, people were surprised.\nWhat were you most looking forward to doing when you finished Harry Potter?\nWhat I really wanted to do was get another job. That was my main concern. When you\u2019ve done a film series like that you have to be philosophical: I\u2019m not expecting to do anything as big as that ever again. I just want to be working.\nIn the beginning, when I was going to meetings, I felt that I had to first convince them that I wasn\u2019t Neville Longbottom before I could convince them I was somebody else. But I think a lot of that was more in my own mind than anything else.\nWhat can you do to get the most out of your relationship with your agent?\nYou need to show them that you\u2019re proactive in your career. If you are a bit half-hearted about an audition and not over-enamored of a part, you need to tell them. There shouldn\u2019t be any secrets around these sorts of things. If you go into a meeting for something that you don\u2019t really want, but you think, I best go in for it anyway, and then it turns out you didn\u2019t prepare and did a shit audition, that\u2019s going to get back to your agent. You need to have a trusting relationship and everything has to be very open about where you want to be and what you want to do.\nWhat do you do to prepare for auditions?\nThere\u2019s so much out there that I\u2019ve found helpful \u2013 books written by casting directors, guidelines for auditions, books on Stanislavski technique. As soon as I get my script, I put my phone on silent and I sit and read through it and really try to immerse myself in it.\nYou can\u2019t over-emphasis the importance of preparation. If you\u2019re doing an accent, speak in that accent up until the moment you go in. If I\u2019m going into a room to do a scene I want to know that scene back to front: what everyone\u2019s motivation is and just know the scene completely \u2013 not just the lines.\nTell me about making the move from screen to stage\nWhen I finished Harry Potter, the first thing I did was a tour of a play. I\u2019d never done theatre before and I was just shit. It was a whole different school of acting that I just wasn\u2019t prepared for. I spent six months on this tour, and for the first few was thoroughly miserable.\nI didn\u2019t even realise there was a problem at first. Then I was reading the paper one day in some local town and there was a review. It was scathing. I thought I\u2019d best read the one in the next town, and thought, \u201cBloody hell, I\u2019m doing something wrong here.\u201d I started to ask questions.\nHow did you go about improving your performance?\nI asked the director for help. He gave me a few techniques to use to keep the energy up in scenes, and at the end of each line. He gave me some tennis balls and every time I finished a line I\u2019d have to go up at the end and throw the tennis ball to him. Then he\u2019d do the same back to me. It seems naff, but once you do it a few times you start to get that rhythm and can bring that into your performance.\nWhat advice would you give adult actors for working with child actors?\nI just remember how terrifying it was, working as a kid. I was so nervous around the older actors and thought, \u201cOh, are they going to be judging everything that I\u2019m doing? Do they think I\u2019m crap and is that why he\u2019s not talking to me?\u201d And that\u2019s not true at all \u2013 it\u2019s just that they are obviously engrossed in their own performances.\nOne thing I\u2019ve always tried to do, working with kids since then, is talk to them and make them feel as comfortable as possible. Sometimes young people on a film set can feel excluded. You\u2019re expecting these people to work like adults and be as professional and mature as adults so you\u2019ve got to involve them.\nMichael Gambon used to tell some really naughty jokes, when I was a kid. He wouldn\u2019t tell them to us, but he\u2019d be telling them to someone else and you\u2019d overhear. I don\u2019t think the parents liked it very much but for us that made him seem so much more human and more approachable. That made me more relaxed.",

        "raw_content": "Maya Mandala > Practices > \u201cLetter of Farewell\u201d ritual\nEverything in life follows the four basic cycles of spring, summer, autumn (fall), and winter. These cycles affect everything in our life including relationships, events and situations. For example, when it is time to plant seeds all traditions around the world choose the time when the soil is ready according to the rhythms of nature in that area.\nOur body goes through similar stages of birth, growth, and death, departure. Winter represents death. These four stages are sometimes represented as \u201cthree plus one\u201d, with three positive periods and one negative. The first three periods are active and the last one is the time for all the processes to cease and turn to death.\nA full lunar cycle counts 28 lunar days. A plot of land is fertile for a certain amount of years and then it is left to rest and restore its nutrients. Our female bodies live through ongoing menstrual cycles. When we shed blood, we go through powerful processes of letting go, allowing to die. This is the period when one can profoundly let go of stories that are over. A cycle is over, something has ended and we need to let go of it. The more clarity and awareness we have when we let go of something, the sooner we move on to the next step.\nDifferent traditions have different rituals dedicated to the process of letting go of things that no longer serve us. The \u201cLetter of Farewell\u201d ritual allows us to let go of the processes that we wish to put an end to, be it some mental stories or memories, finished relationships, etc. Another example is moving to a new city, when it is very important to leave the current place, the current period of your life, the quality that this period brought to your life, in a correct way.\nWhen we end something correctly, we are ready to let go of it with gratitude, we express gratitude for the experience that we\u2019ve gained and all the benefits that this experience brought us. If it is a relationship, it is crucial to ask for forgiveness and thank for this relationship, so that it ends correctly, with love and gratitude.\nUsually letters of farewell are written during a waning moon phase. One can let go of habits, programs. Programs can be of different nature. Some programs are personal, chosen by the Soul when it decided to incarnate in a particular body, in order to learn some important lessons.\nThere are programs that run through an entire family, stem or even an entire country. Initially the Soul invites certain experience and we come to play our role in a life scenario, almost like a theater play. We choose a role in order to learn a lesson through mastering the role. If I play my role, then there will be other people, who will support the role that I\u2019ve chosen. For example, one of the programs of Russia and of other countries that go through revolutions, wars and other processes associated with violence and personality, is the program of \u201cvictim and persecutor\u201d.\nIf energy does not return to the space of free will (the quality of the third chakra), we will keep playing this scenario over and over: at some point we become a victim, who attracts a persecutor, then a rescuer comes in and saves one from the other. All three characters are always present in this scenario. It is important to integrate all these three energies and transform them into free will, a quality where there is no more debt or obligations. There are two types of obligations: relative, that are related to egregors of a particular family, nationality, etc.; and higher-purpose obligations, such as \u201cI\u2019m here to serve all living beings\u201d.\nThe process of separation from a program can be described as the following story. I come to a theater and say \u201cI\u2019m taking the role of Desdemona\u201d, I commit to this role by signing a contract with the theater. I also agree with all the other actors who will support my role in this play. So the play starts, and we stick to the chosen scenario as agreed, day after day. A different actor may take the role of Othello, but I stay faithful to my role of Desdemona.\nWe keep playing this role in order to master all the states of the soul that this character involves: jealousy, betrayal, anger, etc. We\u2019ve played this role an endless amount of times. What we need to do in order to change the character, is first to become aware of the fact that we keep playing the same thing over and over, and we no longer want to be a part of this play. Enough is enough. We acknowledge the value of this experience; it allowed us to grow up, to mature, to recognize the tastes of anger, fear, jealousy, freedom, etc.\nAt this moment we come to the theater and file our resignation. If we don\u2019t do this, if we just walk out of the job, we still have obligations. We are still expected to play our role, because the rest of the crew keeps playing, and they are not happy: \u201cWhat happened? You\u2019ve got a job to do. Everything has been paid for. People are waiting!\u201d \u2013 this is an incorrect way to end a role or a program.\nAt some point in time we initiated this scenario, invited all the actors and they accepted the invitation. Now when it\u2019s time to leave need to leave we need to do so with a high degree of awareness. So we throw a farewell party, we thank each of the actors: \u201cI went through this play with you, I learnt this and that, I understood that much\u201d. Just the same way in our Letter of Farewell we thank for the experience, no matter good or bad. We thank for it, because it resulted in new skills and qualities of our soul.\nWe express gratitude, because initially we declared our intention to develop a skill, thus our Soul, being a part of the Whole, and acting at our request set on to look for ways to train this skill. Existence puts us in circumstances where this particular skill can be developed most effectively, because these particular circumstances will encourage development of the necessary skills and qualities.\nThe same way we choose our family, our country and all the situations that would promote development of necessary qualities and skills leading us to experiences that will expand us. An invisible force keeps pushing us, because without such pushes we stop growing. At the moment when we receive such an \u201cencouragement\u201d we often react with little enthusiasm: \u201cWhat is going on?! Nobody loves me anymore!\u201d\nOur first reaction is usually that of a little child, we refuse to understand that we are the ones who invited this episode into our life, we put our signature under that contract. It is important to understand why we\u2019d put certain clauses in this contract, what benefits we received, what we can be thankful for, what understanding we gained, and what we want to let go of. Thus through playing Desdemona we learn to understand that jealousy, fear and anger leave no space for Love.\nIn conclusion, once we have a clear understanding of the experience we are ready to say goodbye to, we write: \u201cWith love and gratitude I let go of the idea, concept, program, relationship, thoughts, agreement with egregor, certain energy quality, etc. \u2026\u201d Anything can be let go of, anything that assisted our growth, provided experience, everything that we are ready to let go of to allow new states of mind, new qualities, new events and relationships to come into our life.\nThe next thing we write: \u201cThanks to this experience I realized that (fill in the blanks)\u2026 I ask you to forgive me my\u2026 I forgive you your\u2026 I thank all the Teachers, all the people and events that I invited to my life in order to have and understand this experience. I ask my Higher Self to forgive me my decision to separate myself from it in order to have the experience of\u2026\u201d\nIf we let go of something related to a particular person, we have to write his/her name.\nWhen someone passes away we bid him/her farewell and thank for everything that we experienced with this person and let her go.\nAnother example is of saying goodbye to a place. For example, we\u2019ve been living in Russia and this has been the place where we learned a certain way of living. When we move to a different country we need to let go of the old experience, so that we can learn the way of life of the new country. We need to \u201cempty the cup\u201d, free some space for the new experiences to come to our life.\nIn a situation of a break up long time is often needed to heal the wounds. When people part ways without acknowledging each other\u2019s value, without gratitude, without asking for forgiveness and without forgiving, the wound will be deep and it will require healing.\nOnce composed, the letter needs to be read out in whisper, like a prayer, for seven times, once for each of the directions: North, East, South, and West, to the Earth, to the Sky and to your Higher Self. We read it turning clockwise in the following order: read the letter once facing north and turn clockwise towards east, read the letter once again facing east and turn clockwise towards south, and so on. After completing the reading to all the seven directions we kneel and bow down to the ground, keeping the belly completely relaxed and touching the floor.\nYou might feel like laying down flat on your belly. Arms stretched forward. Through our womb we exhale into the Earth all the tensions and everything we want to let go of. After that we rise up and burn the Letter saying \u201cI commit this to fire, and the ashes to earth\u201d. If the ritual is not taking place outdoors, we collect the ashes and commit them to earth later.\nWe write the letter several times until we come to a clear understanding of all the cause-and-effect relationships of the situation in question. Only after that we perform the ritual.\nThe next letter is the Letter of Intent (Manifestation)",

        "raw_content": "Menace mainstay, moving on to chase passion\nWEST DES MOINES, Iowa \u2013 Oct. 8, 2018 \u2013 The Des Moines Menace is sad to announce that long-time colleague and friend, Adam Small, is transitioning out of his full-time position with the club.\nThrough five general managers, six head coaches, 49 Menace hosted tournaments consisting of 3,800 teams and 177 Menace interns, there remained one constant; Adam. The man behind the scenes making everything happen with a smile on his face and never asking for anything in return.\nAdam joined the Menace front office in September 2007. During his tenure as Director of Operations, led the clubs internship program, media relations, operations and youth soccer tournaments to never before seen heights. Adam will be moving on to follow his passion\u2014a career in teaching and while not having Adam in the office every day will be different, he\u2019ll still be engaged with the Menace as his schedule permits. This is encouraging news considering all the wonderful sentiments his colleagues and friends conveyed upon learning about his transition.\nAs Matt Homonoff, former General Manager of the Menace said, \u201cAdam made a massive impact during his 10+ years with the organization. He has done more for aspiring players of all ages in Iowa then many people realize. His operational expertise, commitment to quality, and relationships throughout the community and region have aided the growth of soccer immensely.\u201d\nAbby Johnson, a former Menace colleague, echoed these sentiments. \u201cI don't think there is any way to quantify and describe all Adam's many valued contributions to the Menace. His leadership, flexibility and perseverance has been invaluable to the organization and will be greatly missed.\u201d\nTodd Meiners, another former General Manager of the Menace had this to say. \u201cI am extremely proud to have worked with Adam for five years. Although I was technically his boss, he taught me many lessons and coached me through many situations, with grace and patience; to which I am forever thankful. His mark on the Des Moines Menace and soccer is indelible.\u201d\nLyle Hunt, current Director of Operations emphasized Meiners\u2019 thoughts saying, \u201cI have learned so much from Adam on the sports side, but working with Adam meant so much more than learning the industry. His ability to connect, instruct and lead, will always stick with me in my personal career. Adam truly demonstrates that the best organizations put people and the community first.\u201d\nClearly, Small\u2019s immense soccer knowledge, love of the game, and really, all things Menace, were icing on the cake for his past and current colleagues, all of whom had the same sentiment\u2014Small is a genuinely nice guy who cares for people, and that was apparent in every interaction. \u201cHe was kind to everyone he met and treated everyone the same from the CEOs of the world, to the college interns he hired, to the Menace super fans banging drums and throwing streamers at opposing goalies,\u201d said Jordan Guy, a 2013 and 2014 Menace intern. \u201cAdam treated me with the same kindness and respect when I was a stubborn 19-year-old kid as he does now as a stubborn 26 year-old-man. He\u2019s someone I know that I can depend on and I\u2019m proud to call him a friend,\u201d said former Menace player Charlie Bales.\nEvan Janssen, current Director of Youth Soccer Operations, had this to say. \u201cThere are very few people left in this world that value being a good person above all else. Adam did everything in his power to make the people around him better. He demonstrated kindness, care and love, for his co-workers while also being stern enough to allow people to grow. His leadership has touched many lives and will continue to do so in his future classrooms\u201d\nThe Des Moines Menace is sad to see Adam go, but is proud of his accomplishments and stellar reputation in the soccer world. \u201cAdam\u2019s departure is a big loss for our organization,\u201d said Tiley Nunnink, current Menace General Manager. \u201cHe is literally the walking \u2018Google\u2019 of the Des Moines Menace and he epitomizes what hard work and dedication looks like. I will personally miss engaging with him on a daily basis, but feel fortunate that we will be able to \u2018break glass\u2019 and call Adam if necessary.\u201d\nThat said, the organization knows that as Adam follows his passion for teaching, the young people he interacts with will see firsthand his kindness, leadership and ability to connect with people\u2014even if it\u2019s away from the soccer field.\nThank you, Adam, for everything you've done for the Menace!",

        "raw_content": "Death\u2019s defeat\nWhile sharing his testimony, a man suffering from terminal cancer pointed out that even though many of us sing this chorus (right) in Sunday School, when the time comes, we show that we do not believe in it. Simply put, we are not willing to die. We are not ready to go to heaven.\nFor some it is because of duty: we feel that we still need to be around for our loved ones. Some may even have a conviction like Paul\u2019s: \u201cAs long as I\u2019m alive in this body, there is good work for me to do. If I had to choose right now, I hardly know which I\u2019d choose. Hard choice! The desire to break camp here and be with Christ is powerful. Some days I can think of nothing better. But most days, because of what you are going through, I am sure that it\u2019s better for me to stick it out here. So I plan to be around awhile, companion to you as your growth and joy in this life of trusting God continues. You can start looking forward to a great reunion when I come visit you again.\u201d (Philippians 1:22-26, MSG)\nFilled with glory and grace\nI want to see my Saviour\u2019s face\n\u201cAs long as I\u2019m alive in this body, there is good work for me to do. If I had to choose right now, I hardly know which I\u2019d choose. Hard choice! The desire to break camp here and be with Christ is powerful. Some days I can think of nothing better. But most days, because of what you are going through, I am sure that it\u2019s better for me to stick it out here. So I plan to be around awhile, companion to you as your growth and joy in this life of trusting God continues. You can start looking forward to a great reunion when I come visit you again.\u201d\nPhilippians 1:22-26, MSG\nBut if we were to be honest with ourselves, there are some of us who do not want to die because we are afraid. There is always a fear of what is on \u201cthe other side\u201d. Even though we may believe in Jesus, we are uncertain that we will actually get there.\nDeath has a sting (1 Corinthians 15:55). That bite is not always instantaneously fatal. In fact, those of us who are afraid of death have already been bitten by it. Then there are those who suffer from it through disease and sickness, from which they may eventually die.\nThe resurrection of Jesus from the dead cures us from that sting. \u201cDeath is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?\u201d (1 Corinthians 15:54- 55, ESV)\nThe writer to the Hebrews gave this perspective: \u201cSince the children are made of flesh and blood, it\u2019s logical that the Saviour took on flesh and blood in order to rescue them by his death. By embracing death, taking it into himself, he destroyed the Devil\u2019s hold on death and freed all who cower through life, scared to death of death.\u201d (Hebrews 2:14-15, MSG)\nDeath was destroyed when Jesus rose from the dead. Finally there was someone who, instead of remaining dead, blatantly spited, defied and defeated death.\nGoing one step further, Jesus made this victory available to anyone else who wanted it. The secret is to be \u201cin Him\u201d, that is, to believe in Him.\nBy so doing, we enter into union with the One who is \u201cour transport\u201d (in the words of Fanny Crosby in her hymn, \u2018To God be the Glory\u2019), bringing us not just to our final destination, but riding along with us on that journey as well.\nIf the sting has been rendered harmless for those of us who believe in Jesus, then why do some of us believers still feel its effects? Why are we still afraid to die? Why are we still affected by the sting in all kinds of diseases, sicknesses and infirmities?\nThis is where we need to make a distinction between believing in Jesus and believing Jesus.\nBelieving in Jesus is our conversion. Believing Jesus is the commitment of a disciple. The first is just the start. The second is continuing to have faith in His promises, and aligning our lives accordingly in our walk with Him. The first is just an introduction to a friendship. The second is the ongoing effort taken to develop that relationship into one of love, trust and obedience.\nEaster is a celebration of victory. Jesus gave us the antidote to the sting. The penalty for sin \u2013 that is, death \u2013 has been commuted. Life now reigns. Like those who have just been released from prison, it might take some time to adjust to a new beginning. And when we do, we will find that this new life is a wonderful place to be in.\nChristian hospitality",

Do you know what your desired \u201cend\u201d looks like? Do you know what you\u2019re working to achieve? If you don\u2019t, their criticism is far more likely to push you away from receptivity (and growth) and toward defensiveness.\nDefensiveness is a direct result of insecurities. Knowing the direction you\u2019re headed will strengthen your self-confidence, and allow you to learn from the feedback.\nDefensiveness turns off the flow of feedback, while openness and gratitude keeps it flowing.\nIf feedback is the only way to grow \u2013 to improve \u2013 then keeping the doors wide open is the key to your personal and professional growth.

The high-tech market research firm sites two types of contenders: the traditional vendor, characterized by having some experience in the contact center and typically marketing voice products; and the non-traditional vendor, a new breed of CRM company attacking the market from the Internet and host-based technologies side.\nAn ideal CRM solution is defined by its ability to provide multiple contact methods, ease of use and integration. \"The non-traditional vendors have been a strong force of change by establishing Web-based CRM applications as a core component of any CRM offering. However, despite efforts of non-traditional vendors to ramp up their capabilities, it is unlikely many will be able to overpower the advantage of the traditional vendor's installed base, particularly as those vendors add Web-based offerings,\" says Kirsten Cloninger, Industry Analyst for In-Stat's Internet Commerce Service. \"The companies with the most contact methods, simplest administration tools, and best integration skills, will wind up on top.\" On the other hand, \"Traditional vendors are offering more features simply because they have a head start,\" says Brian Strachman, Senior Analyst for In-Stat's Voice Applications Service. \"The traditional vendors are more hardware and software based while the non-traditional vendors utilize the Internet and hosted services. These are two very different strategies for a similar objective. We can expect to see a blurring of the lines in the coming year.\"\nIn-Stat profiled and ranked 38 CRM vendors and found the following:\n- The traditional vendors offered more methods of contact, while the non-traditional vendors were able to integrate more quickly and offered greater flexibility.\n- As the non-traditional vendors ramp-up their offerings, they will begin to be more competitive in the CRM market.\n- The top five CRM vendors are:\nThe reports, Surrounding the Customer: Ranking Traditional Vendors of Customer Relationship Management Solutions (#CT0005CT), and Surrounding the Customer: Ranking Non-Traditional Vendors of Customer Relationship Management Solutions (#EC0005MS) evaluate and rank 38 CRM vendors according to their current and future capabilities, integration and administration abilities.

        "raw_content": "A bumper sticker opposing cuts to Alaska\u2019s Permanent Fund Dividend, an annual payout to every Alaskan from the state\u2019s oil-wealth fund that many have compared to a universal basic income. (Photo by Yereth Rosen)\nAct Locally \u00bb November 5, 2018\nIs the way to save the dividend through taxing the rich or slashing state services?\nThe PFD is the product of a particularly Alaskan philosophy\u2014an egalitarian and, some say, socialist streak that regards the state\u2019s natural resources as commonly owned.\nOn September 29, at the third annual PFD Travel Fair, travel companies set up booths to tempt Alaskans with ways to spend their Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD)\u2014their payout from the state\u2019s famous oil-wealth fund. This year\u2019s PFD amounted to $1,600 per resident. Vendors hawked local glacier-viewing tours and South Pacific vacations. A band played bluegrass favorites. Alaska Airlines gave out sugar cookies.\nThe Alaska Permanent Fund, now worth $65 billion, is a sovereign wealth fund, a government owned investment fund intended to benef it citizens. These funds exist mostly in oil-rich places like Norway, Kuwait and Alberta, and are used as savings accounts or to fund government operations. Alaska\u2019s is the only one to make direct payments to citizens. Almost all residents, including children, are eligible.\nThe Permanent Fund was established by a state constitutional amendment in 1976, just before oil began flowing down the trans-Alaska pipeline. The PFD program, begun six years later, injects cash into the economy (about $1 billion in 2018), and many business hold special PFD sales. The payouts are used for college savings\u2014Alaskans can earmark half or all of their annual dividends into a University of Alaska-affiliated savings plan\u2014 retirement accounts, charity donations and, for many, basic expenses. Studies show it has reduced the state\u2019s poverty rate.\nOutside of Alaska, the PFD has gained attention as an example of the benefits of a universal basic income.\nThe PFD is the product of a particularly Alaskan philosophy\u2014an egalitarian and, some say, socialist streak that regards the state\u2019s natural resources as commonly owned. \u201cThe dividend concept is based on Alaska\u2019s Constitution, which holds that Alaska\u2019s natural resources are owned, not by the state, but by the Alaskan people themselves,\u201d wrote Jay Hammond, the Republican governor credited with creating the dividend, in his 1994 memoir, Tales of Alaska\u2019s Bush Rat Governor.\nNow Alaskans are grappling with profound questions about the dividend\u2019s future and, by extension, the state\u2019s. Two years before the dividend began, when Alaska was awash in new oil money, legislators abolished Alaska\u2019s income tax. Now those heady oil-boom days are over, leaving massive holes in the state budget.\nThe annual dividend announcement used to feature a televised envelope-opening ceremony, where the revenue commissioner or governor would reveal on live television how big the year\u2019s PFD would be. But that turned subdued in 2016, when Gov. Bill Walker (I) held a press conference to explain why\u2014with a $4 billion budget deficit\u2014he felt obligated to veto half of the dividend payout, leaving just $1,022 per Alaskan. The following year\u2019s dividend was $1,100, well below the 2015 peak of $2,072.\nThis year, for the first time, the legislature dipped into Permanent Fund earnings to pay government operating expenses. As a compromise, lawmakers agreed to modestly increase the dividend, to $1,600. There was no envelope ceremony.\nThe dividend changes have shaken Alaska politics. Walker\u2019s decisions, some experts say, gutted his approval ratings. On October 19, he dropped out of this year\u2019s gubernatorial election. Some Alaskans, mostly on the Left, want to reinstate the income tax to shore up the state\u2019s coffers and keep the PFD strong, arguing that dividend reductions hurt the poor the most. Another group, representing a range of political perspectives, believes dividend cuts are a tough but necessary part of moving Alaska away from its perilous oil-money dependence.\nMany on the Right agree with the Left\u2019s desire to protect the PFD, but instead of supplementing the budget with an income tax, they argue for slashing state spending.\nIn this last group is Republican Mike Dunleavy, running for governor against a Walker-endorsed Democrat. \u201cBill Walker raided the Permanent Fund and took half of your PFD to pay for bloated state budgets,\u201d Dunleavy\u2019s campaign website says. \u201cThe PFD belongs to you and your family\u2014not to him.\u201d\nScott McMurren\u2014the longtime newspaper columnist and travel expert who organized the PFD Fair\u2014acknowledges that Alaskans are facing tough choices. But among many Alaskans, he says, \u201cthere\u2019s a sense of, I think, feeling entitled to the dividend without a corresponding sense of responsibility to our state, our infrastructure, our children, the arts. \u2026 If all you eat is cookies and ice cream, well, after a while your guts are going to rot.\u201d\nYereth Rosen is a longtime reporter based in Alaska.",

        "raw_content": "This practice continues even today in many parts of the world. Until the post WWII Japanese constitution, the emperor was considered a sovereign, divine ruler. Although Emperor Hirohito was prompted by MacArthur to renounce that status, the practice of reckoning time by the current monarch continues. For instance, the year 2005 is officially year 17 of the Heisei Era of the Emperor Akihito. Until 2002, the Japanese Patent Office still used this system.\nIt was no different right before the founding of the United States. One example is the 1774 \u201cDeclarations and Resolves\u201d by the Continental Congress, which complained of long running injustices from the mother country since the \u201cthirty-fifth year of the reign of King Henry the Eighth\u201d.\nBy April 19, 1775, however, the disillusioned colonists were distancing themselves from the current monarch, King George - that was the day of the \u201cshot heard 'round the world\u201d in Lexington, Massachusetts. In the town square that morning the King's Major Pitcairn was being faced down by about 70 colonists.\nHe shouted, \"Disperse, ye villains Lay down your arms in the name of George the Sovereign King of England\". He was met with the response \"We recognize no Sovereign but God and no King but Jesus!\".\nThe forthcoming Declaration of Independence hammered this point home by making it clear that man's rights did not come from an earthly king, but that men were \u201cendowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights\u201d and \u201cThat to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed\u201d.\nIn other words, 1787 years into Christ's reign (since His birth) the Constitution was drafted. (Note: The Articles of Confederation, which preceded the Constitution, used similar terms.)\nSome will claim that \u201cthat's just the way people talked in those days\u201d. They are right, in part, because it was more politically acceptable to honor God back then, but a look at other documents from that era proves that spelling out \u201cthe year of our Lord\u201d was not routine. Virginia's constitution, for instance, fixed it's inception \u201con Monday the sixth day of May, one thousand seven hundred and seventy six\u201d.\nHow can anyone who understands American history claim that it is unconstitutional for the state to acknowledge God when that same Constitution declares His Son King of the Land?\nWritten by: Ron Calzone ron@mofirst.org\nMissouri First, Inc. - 33867 Highway E \u2013 Dixon, MO 65459\nMissouri First Main Page www.mofirst.org",

        "raw_content": "Musicians' Mobilities and Music Migrations in Early Modern Europe: Biographical Patterns and Cultural Exchanges ed. by Gesa zur Nieden and Berthold Over\nMusicians' Mobilities and Music Migrations in Early Modern Europe: Biographical Patterns and Cultural Exchanges. Ed. by Gesa zur Nieden and Berthold Over. Pp. 428. Mainz Historical Cultural Sciences, 33 (Transcript Verlag, Bielefeld, 2016. \u20ac34.99. ISBN 978-3-8376-3504.)\nAt a time when the future mobility of Europe-based professional musicians\u2014including those working in the classical music industry\u2014is increasingly uncertain (or, at the very least, potentially threatened by untenable bureaucratic hurdles) in the wake of the Brexit decision, it seems worth dwelling on the opening thoughts of this edited collection's preface. There, the volume's editors, Gesa zur Nieden and Berthold Over, note that the 'musical migrations' of the early modern era not only made a significant contribution to the 'dynamics and synergy of the European cultural scene', but also played an important role in developing 'cohesion within a common European cultural identity' (p. 9).\nThe book's focus arises from a recent European Union-funded research project, 'Music Migrations in the Early Modern Age: The Meeting of the European East, West, and South' (also known as MusMig), which ran from September 2013 until August 2016, uniting researchers from Croatia, Germany, Poland, and Slovenia under the direction of the Zagreb-based musicologist Vjera Katalini\u0107. The selection of twenty essays contained in the volume was drawn from a workshop held under the project's auspices in Mainz in 2014\u2014an event that expanded beyond members of MusMig to include scholars from elsewhere in Europe as well.\nUnsurprisingly then, not only given the topic at hand, but also the remarkably diverse provenance of the researchers involved, the subject material covered in Musicians' Mobilities and Music Migrations is extremely wide-ranging in a geographical sense. The majority of the chapters take the form of specific musical case studies, whose authors lead us on a journey from the commercial marketplaces of eighteenth-century England (Michael Talbot) and Holland (Rudolf Rasch) to the courts of the Holy Roman Empire, Poland, and Russia (Colin Timms, Joachim Kremer, Britta K\u00e4gler, Berthold Over, Rashid-S. Pegah; Barbara Przybszewska-Jarmi\u0144ska, Alina Z_\u00f3rawska-Witkowska; Jan Kusber and Matthias Schnettger); from the largely imported musical cultures of Vienna's K\u00e4rntnertortheater in the 1730s (Jana Perutkov\u00e1) and the Republic of Dubrovnik later in the century (Vjera Katalini\u0107); and from opera seria performances in Rome (Aneta Markuszewska), Graz (Metoda Kokole), and various locations in Moravia (Jana Sp\u00e1c\u203a ilov\u00e1) to consideration of the writings of Croatian music theorists based in Italy and Russia (Stanislav Tuksar, Lucija Konfic).\nThree chapters in the book are rather broader in their scope. In the second of these, an essay entitled 'MUSICI and MusMig: Continuities and Discontinuities', Berthold Over and Torsten Roeder explain the imperatives behind the MusMig project and its intended outcomes, among them the development of a so-called Person Data Repository, containing detailed information regarding individuals, performances, and locations that can be mined digitally to produce 'visualizations' (charts, maps, and other types of illustrations) capable of supporting 'the specific approaches of the individual projects' (p. 200).\nAs Over and Roeder point out, the definition of migration adopted for the study is expansive, embracing 'every movement in a territorial space', from Grand Tours to travelling opera companies, and the journeys of individuals made for the purposes of training, employment, as well as family, legal, or health-related reasons, among countless other possible motivations (p. 186). It is also worth noting here that within the framework of the MusMig project the term 'musician' is interpreted in a broad sense, encompassing instrumentalists, singers, composers, librettists, instrument makers, and music theorists. (Music publishers might also be added to this list, since at least two chapters in the present volume deal with this profession, in varying degrees: Rudolf Rasch's thoughtful investigation of the truly European breadth of Estienne Roger's music-publishing enterprise, and Michael Talbot's rigorous examination of an English publication that featured compositions by Francesco Scarlatti.)\nIn the chapter that follows, Norbert Dubowy deftly summarizes a selection of the different types of...",

        "raw_content": "Spice Girls fans are waiting with bated breath after an announcement this morning seemed to suggest that their 20th anniversary reunion was about to go ahead sans Posh Spice. However, band member Emma Bunton has warned people that no concrete plans have been made yet and talks continue behind the scenes.\nA source told The Sun newspaper \"This will be one of the biggest pop reunions of all time. There is a huge demand for the Spice Girls to get back together, especially with the nostalgia around the two-decade anniversary of their first release next summer.\" The source then added \"Victoria wishes the girls the best of luck. She knows the reunion is on but has declined to be involved.\"\nThe source went onto say that Geri Halliwell, Mel C, Emma Bunton and Mel B had met and agreed to go ahead as a 4-piece. The source said \"Mel (B) has been desperate to make this happen for a long time. For a long time they put off the idea of working any projects without her (Victoria) because they wanted to stay as a five-piece, but with the 20th anniversary coming up they realised it was a case of now or never.\u201d\nHowever, Baby Spice later refuted these claims telling Heart London listeners \"If anything happens and it\u2019s concrete, and we decide on something, I will let you know, but nothing\u2019s happening at the moment\". This seems to suggest that there is still room for Victoria to join in on the fun should she manage to carve out some time from her busy schedule.\nAny reunion, be it as a 4-piece or with all 5 of the girls on board, is going to be huge financially as the Spice Girls mark 20 years since the release of their first Number 1 hit Wannabe. Dan Wootton, who wrote the Sun article, was sticking to his guns tweeting \"And a note from me to people saying Emma \"denied\" story this AM. She didn't. But no official announcement will come until later this year.\"\nEmma Bunton,\nUm, we were wrong",

        "raw_content": "Berlioz was born near Grenoble, France, December 11, 1803, and died in Paris, March 9, 1869. He was sent to Paris to study medicine, but his love of music caused him to throw up his medical studies, and with them went his allowance. He earned a bare living by singing in the chorus of the Gynmase Dramatique. His unusual genius, accompanied by his own eccentricities early brought him into conflict with authority.\nHe soon left Reicha at the Conservatoire to join the new \u201cromantic\u201d school of composers. His first composition, a Mass, was a decided failure, but two overtures, and his symphonie phantastique, \u201cEpisode de la vie d\u2019un artiste\u201d, showed great power. He now gave himself up to \u201cprogram music\u201d entirely.\nIn 1826 he re-entered the conservatory, and in 1830 gained the Grand Prix de Rome by his cantata, Sardanapale. After spending a year and a half in Rome and Naples he returned to Paris with his overture to King Lear and a continuation of his symphonie phantastique.\nHe now became a journalist and critic, and by his caustic, polemical writings became known throughout Europe, and gained the friendship of Liszt. A successful tour through Germany, in 1843, was followed by others through Austria, Hungary, Bohemia, Russia and England.\nHis work is all distinguished by its brilliantly original and masterly orchestration. His famous Rakoczy March is perhaps the most familiar example.\nNext story Hector Berlioz by Ernest Reyer\nPrevious story Charles Auguste de Beriot",

        "raw_content": "Matter of L-A-B-R- et al., 27 I&N Dec. 245 (A.G. 2018): When Can Continuance Be Granted to Adjudicate Collateral Matter?\nThe Attorney General decided the case in Matter of L-A-B-R- et al, 27 I&N Dec. 405 (A.G. 2018). To learn about the new rules for continuances for pursuing collateral relief, please see our full article on that decision [see article]. We are preserving this article on the Attorney General's initial referral for review in the case as it was initially published for reference purposes.\nIntroduction: Matter of L-A-B-R- et al., 27 I&N Dec. 245 (A.G. 2018)\nOn March 22, 2018, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions referred multiple decisions of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) to himself for review in Matter of L-A-B-R- et al., 27 I&N Dec. 245 (A.G. 2018) [PDF version]. In the decision, the Attorney General requested briefing of issues relating to when there is \u201cgood cause\u201d to grant a continuance of proceedings to allow for adjudication of a collateral matter.\nIn this article, we will briefly explain the questions presented and what it may mean going forward.\nUnder 8 C.F.R. 1003.1(h)(1)(i), the Attorney General may direct the Board to refer to him any of its decisions for review. In the instant case, Attorney General Sessions exercised this authority. The Board's decision(s) in the matter are stayed pending the review of the Attorney General, in accord with Matter of Haddam, A.G. Order No. 2380-2001 (Jan. 19, 2001) [PDF version see 23 I&N Dec. 700, 701-04].\nUnder 8 C.F.R. 1003.29 (2017), an Immigration Judge is authorized to \u201cgrant a motion for continuance for good cause shown.\u201d In the cases at issue in Matter of L-A-B-R- et al, Attorney General Sessions explained that \u201cImmigration Judges granted continuances to provide time for respondents to seek adjudications of collateral matters from other authorities.\u201d\nAccordingly, the Attorney General requested briefs on the following question:\nUnder what circumstances does 'good cause' exist for an Immigration Judge to grant a continuance for a collateral matter to be adjudicated?\nThe parties must submit briefs not exceeding 15,000 words on or before April 17, 2018;\nInterested amici (friends of the court) may submit briefs of up to 9,000 words on or before April 24, 2018; and\nThe parties may submit rely briefs of up to 6,000 words on or before May 2, 2018.\nMatter of L-A-B-R- et al marks the fourth time in the first three months of 2018 that Attorney General Sessions has referred decisions of the BIA to himself for review. It is the third of the four to request briefing on a specific issue for the issuance of a later decision.\nThe regulations do not specify when a party may show good cause for granting a continuance to allow for a collateral matter to be adjudicated. Thus, Attorney General Sessions requested briefing on what constitutes a showing of a \u201cgood cause\u201d for the granting of a continuance to adjudicate a collateral matter. The issue will be worth watching going forward due to its potential procedural effect on immigration proceedings generally.\nAn individual facing removal proceedings should consult with an experienced immigration attorney for guidance throughout the entire process.",

        "raw_content": "This is my last installment of my three part series: Chris Predicts the Future click the link to read it from the start.\nThere is a looming demographic crisis throughout the Western world with the proportion of working people that pay taxes compared to those of retirement age declining. There just won\u2019t be enough working age people to care for the elderly population. The economic burden will be too much for western economies. I do not believe the solution is large-scale euthanasia. The solution will be robots - lots of robots. Large-scale automation will allow western countries to compete in manufacturing while eliminating the need for large amounts of low paid workers.\nThese robots could also be used to care for the elderly in a way that they want. Automated cars will drive them around to shopping centres and appointments. Retirement homes may not be necessary for many elderly people. In some cultures the elderly are cared for in the home by relatives. This could be done here with advanced robots taking the place of relatives. This would give the elderly and disabled far greater quality of life and independence. Robots also do not need to be paid after a large initial investment - is this that will save us from economic ruin.\nWide adoption of renewable energy. Solar panels are getting cheaper and cheaper. Soon it will be silly not to have them on your roof. I do not believe it will be long until almost every roof has solar panels attached. The adoption of solar panels may make other forms of renewable energy more palatable with windmills appearing throughout suburbia.\nElectric cars. Sooner than you may think electric cars will be commonplace. It will be a while before they can match the range of efficient petrol cars and charging will be a problem on long journeys. But for 99% of journeys this will not be a problem. Electricity is still a hell of a lot cheaper than petrol. With solar panels getting cheaper and more efficient, you could plug your car in and charge it using the solar panels on your work place\u2019s roof. Driving a car could be free. Electric cars also have far fewer moving parts meaning they do not need to be serviced nearly as often. It is for these reasons that electric cars will become increasingly popular.\nThe industrialisation of space. There are many new space companies out there such as SpaceX. The CEO and founder of SpaceX, Elon Musk, has a goal of making the human race interplanetary. As anybody who has ever heard of an asteroid or a super volcano if the human race is to survive into the distant future we need an insurance policy. The combination of robotic and robotics advanced robotics and additive manufacturing will allow the industrialisation of space. Simply land a spacecraft on an asteroid. Advanced material processors and 3-D printers could to the material of the asteroid to make virtually anything. They can build machines that could harvest the valuable materials on the asteroid and also build a large spacecraft that could transport them to low Earth orbit. These materials could be further processed and used to make space habitats. Earth millionaires would be willing to pay a lot of money for real estate in space with the most incredible view you can possibly imagine.\nIf we work out how to mass manufacture carbon nanotubes out of asteroid material we could manufacture a space elevator. Carbon nanotubes have the highest tensile strength out of any known substance. It is the only things that could span from the earth\u2019s surface to 36,000 km to geostationary orbit. Such a large object cannot be built from the ground up - instead it will be manufactured in space and gently lowered through Earth\u2019s atmosphere and secured to the surface.Such an elevator would give access to space to anyone can afford a small aircraft journey today. If the human race manages to exploit the vast resources solar system - there is nothing that can stop us.\nWhatever happens, if I am able to successfully predict the future or not, the not too distant future is going to be very interesting. We are all lucky to be alive in this time.\nThis is my last installment of my three part series: Chris Predicts the Future",

        "raw_content": "Fact: 2.1 million Americans are addicted to opioids.\nFact: Only 4,000 U.S. physicians are addiction specialists.\nThe opioids crisis hasn\u2019t even peaked and the medical profession can barely keep up. Part of the problem is a basic lack of understanding of what addiction is, according to Dr. Kelly J. Clark, president of the American Society of Addiction Medicine.\nAddiction is a chronic brain disease, leading people to lose control of their lives. Just like any other chronic illness \u2013 such as diabetes or hypertension \u2013 people with addictions will go through cycles of relapse and remission. That\u2019s normal for every disease including addiction, Clark said.\nASAM defines addiction thusly: \u201cAddiction is a primary, chronic disease of brain reward, motivation, memory and related circuitry. Dysfunction in these circuits leads to characteristic biological, psychological, social and spiritual manifestations. This is reflected in an individual pathologically pursuing reward and/or relief by substance use and other behaviors.\u201d\nUntil demand for illicit drugs falls, the crisis won\u2019t begin to abate, Clark said: \u201cEven if not another person became addicted, we still have millions of Americans who are. \u2026 What happens if you have supply reduction and not demand reduction? You get substitutes and that\u2019s how we got fentanyl.\u201d\nShe said the appearance of powerful \u2013 and deadly \u2013 synthetic drugs are a threat that is evolving. \u201cPeople with chemistry sets are very clever,\u201d she said.\nIf there is a positive sign in this public health crisis, it\u2019s that addiction is out of the closet. Clark said 44 percent of Americans know someone personally who has been affected by addiction. \u201cWhen it becomes your family, your neighbor, a person at your church, it becomes real. It becomes us, not \u2018them.\u2019 It\u2019s ubiquitous,\u201d she said.\nAnother is TIP 63, a treatment improvement protocol issued by the federal government in February 2018. It stated that using medications to treat opioid addiction is recommended, putting to rest a long-simmering debate.\nIn her day job, Clark is chief medical officer of CleanSlate Centers, which treats more than 8,000 opioid-addicted patients.\naddiction chronic illness drugs opioids",

Yeah, we only think of men but the women were trained;\nIn wartime samurai women sometimes had to defend their homes. Trained in weaponry, women carried a dagger in their sleeves or sashes and could throw with deadly aim. The naginata, a long, curved sword, was considered the weapon most suitable for women. Japanese girls today continue the ancient art of naginatajutsu as they learn how to wield the naginata\nSometimes women joined men in battle, actually fighting along side them or encouraging the troops.\nWe will write a custom essay sample on Women can be as brave as men specifically for you\nThere was a strong-willed woman that seized the reins of the shogunate warrior after her husband, the first shogun Yoritomo Minamoto, died in 1199. She quickly maneuvered her own family, the Hojo clan, into a regency over her son Yoriie. In her old age it was she who galvanized the shogunate army which crushed the forces of the Emperor Go-Toba in 1221. The Hojos remained as regents over all the successive Minamoto shoguns for the next century and a half. For this reason Hojo Masa-ko, known as \u201cMother Shogun,\u201d has been referred to as the founder of the shogunate\nYou can also read about Muslim women, when women fought in battle to protect the prophet Muhammad. The women were also ordered that if their men cower through stones at them, and when some men did cower, and rode back, the women threw stones at their husbands and even shamed them, and ran side by side warriors to fight in battle.\nAnd again, women in war: American warrior women includes Deborah Samson, a Revolutionary War hero who disguised herself as a male for for three years, and the W.A.S.P.\u2019s, the first female military pilots who were trained to help with non-military duties yet thirty-eight ended up sacrificing their lives.

In the fencing game, the A key is used to hit up, the S key is used to hit down, the D key blocks, and the arrow keys move. In the hurdles game, the right arrow key is used to run and the m key jumps.

Track and Field is a classic Olympics-based sports game that was released in 1983. It was developed and published by Konami. Despite the problem with the two run buttons constantly breaking on machines, Track and Field was a hit in arcades, and went on to spawn numerous ports for home systems such as the ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, and NES. Track and Field II (which was actually the fourth game in the series) was released for the NES in 1988. This Flash version of Track and Field II does not feature all of the events that the classic game had, but it gives players a taste of the original with the benefit of being completely free!\nThis flash version of Track and Field II has three events, each with their own objectives. The first event is fencing, which was probably the event that appealed most to youngsters playing the game at the time. The objective in fencing is to touch your opponent with your foil while not giving your opponent a chance to touch you with theirs. The first player to touch their opponent four times wins. Unfortunately, fencing seems to be very buggy in this Flash game and it is nearly impossible to win.\nThe second event featured in this Flash game is hurdles. The objective here is to beat the other runners while jumping over hurdles. Once again, the performance of this Flash game is sub-par. Your runner does not jump very high, so it is nearly impossible to clear the hurdles. It is even possible for your runner to get stuck on a hurdle, forcing you to refresh your browser to replay the game!\nThe final even featured in this Flash version of Track and Field II is swimming. Unlike the other two events, swimming is actually done well. The objective of the swimming even is to swim across the pool and back before your opponent. You will occasionally have to come up for oxygen, but doing so will slow you down. If you run out of oxygen, however, you will be slowed down even further while you catch your breath, so it is best to occasionally come up for air manually.\nThis Flash version of Track and Field II may be fun for some, but fans of the original will be disappointed by its lack of events and its flaws. If you do not have a copy of the classic game or a ROM of it, however, this Flash version is your best bet.",

Trump, meanwhile, faced questions about whether he gave away too much in return for far too little when he bestowed a new legitimacy on Kim\u2019s rule and agreed, at Pyongyang\u2019s request, to end war games with Seoul that the allies had long portrayed as crucial to Asian safety.\nAs the top US diplomat jetted to South Korea for follow-up talks Wednesday, much of Asia was still trying to process the whirlwind events of the day before.\nThere was, at times, a surreal quality to the carefully staged, five-hour meeting of two men who\u2019d been threatening each other with nuclear war and insulting each other\u2019s mental and physical attributes just months before. Trump repeatedly praised Kim\u2019s negotiating skills and their new relationship and expressed hope for \u201ca bright new future\u201d for Kim\u2019s impoverished nation.\nBut there were worries, especially in Tokyo and Seoul, which both have huge US military presences, about Trump agreeing to halt US military exercises with South Korea, which the North has long claimed were invasion preparations. That concession to Kim appeared to catch the Pentagon and officials in Seoul off guard, and some South Koreans were alarmed.\nUS President Donald Trump speaks to reporters as he arrives aboard Air Force One from Singapore at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, US on Wednesday, local time. (Yonhap)\n\u201cThe United States is our ally, so the joint military drills are still necessary to maintain our relationship with the US,\u201d said Lee Jae Sung, from Incheon. \u201cI think they will be continued for a while.\u201d\nUS Secretary of State Mike Pompeo arrived at Osan Air Base south of Seoul from Singapore early Wednesday evening. Pompeo met for close to an hour with Gen. Vincent Brooks, commander of US Forces Korea, at the air base before heading by motorcade to Seoul.\nPompeo will meet President Moon Jae-in on Thursday morning to discuss the summit. Japanese Foreign Minister Taro Kono is also heading to Seoul and is due to meet with Pompeo and his South Korean counterpart. Pompeo, the former CIA director, then plans to fly to Beijing to update the Chinese government on the talks.\nOn the issue the world has been most fixated on \u2014 North Korea\u2019s pursuit of a nuclear arsenal meant to target the entire US mainland \u2014 Trump and Kim signed a joint statement that contained a repeat of past vows to work toward a denuclearized Korean Peninsula. The details of how and when the North would denuclearize appear yet to be determined, as are the nature of the unspecified \u201cprotections\u201d Trump is pledging to Kim and his government.\nDespite the confusion and disappointment among some, the summit managed to, for a time at least, reset a relationship that has long been characterized by bloodshed and threats. In agreeing to the summit, Trump risked granting Kim his long-sought recognition on the world stage in hopes of ending the North\u2019s nuclear program.\n\u201cBefore taking office people were assuming that we were going to War with North Korea,\u201d Trump tweeted Wednesday. \u201cPresident (Barack) Obama said that North Korea was our biggest and most dangerous problem. No longer - sleep well tonight!\u201d\nTrump\u2019s claim that North Korea no longer poses a nuclear threat is questionable.\nNorth Korea is believed to possess more than 50 nuclear warheads, with its atomic program spread across more than 100 sites constructed over decades to evade international inspections. Trump insisted that strong verification of denuclearization would be included in a final agreement, saying it was a detail his team would begin sorting out with the North Koreans next week.\nMoon has championed engagement with the North, and the agreement\u2019s language on North Korea\u2019s nuclear program was similar to what the leaders of North and South Korea came up with at their own summit in April. Trump and Kim referred back to the so-called Panmunjom Declaration, which contained a weak commitment to denuclearization but no specifics on how to achieve it.\nAs Trump acknowledged that denuclearization would not be accomplished overnight, the North suggested Wednesday that Trump had moved away from his demand for complete denuclearization before US sanctions on the long-isolated country are removed.\nThe state-run Korean Central News Agency said the two leaders \u201cshared recognition to the effect that it is important to abide by the principle of step-by-step and simultaneous action in achieving peace, stability and denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.\u201d KCNA also reported that Trump had expressed his intention to lift sanctions \u201cover a period of goodwill dialogue\u201d between the two countries.\nThe White House declined to comment on the North Korean characterization of the deal. Instead, officials merely pointed to the text of the joint Trump-Kim statement, and left it at that.\nThe Singapore agreement does not detail plans for North Korea to demolish a missile engine testing site, a concession Trump said he\u2019d won, or Trump\u2019s promise to end military exercises in the South while negotiations between the US and the North continue. Trump cast that decision as a cost-saving measure, but also called the exercises \u201cinappropriate\u201d while talks continue.\nWhile progress on the nuclear question was murky, the leaders spent the public portions of their five hours together expressing optimism and making a show of their new relationship. Trump declared he and Kim had developed \u201ca very special bond,\u201d and seemed to delight in giving Kim a glimpse of the presidential limousine. Kim, for his part, said the leaders had \u201cdecided to leave the past behind\u201d and promised, \u201cThe world will see a major change.\u201d\nThe US has stationed combat troops in South Korea since the end of the Korean War in the 1950s and has used them in a variety of drills. The next scheduled major exercise, involving tens of thousands of troops, normally is held in August.\nThe Pentagon said Tuesday it was consulting with the White House and others, but was silent on whether the August exercise would proceed. Mattis\u2019 chief spokeswoman, Dana W. White, told reporters he was \u201cin full alignment\u201d with Trump.\nIn Japan, the prospect of canceled US-South Korean drills was met with concern.\n\u201cThe US-South Korea joint exercises and US forces in South Korea play significant roles for the security in East Asia,\u201d Japanese Defense Minister Itsunori Onodera told reporters Wednesday. He said he planned to continue sharing the view with Washington and Seoul.\nChief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said Japan wants to get further explanations from the US and South Korea on the issue. He declined to comment further.\nIn South Korea, the liberal Kyunghyang Shinmun newspaper said Trump and Kim have started a \u201cmarch of peace\u201d to end nearly seven decades of hostility and pave the way for permanent peace and prosperity on the peninsula.\nThe conservative Chosun Ilbo, the country\u2019s biggest paper, was decidedly more critical, denouncing Trump for offering the end of military drills while failing to convince the North to commit to verifiably giving up its nukes for good. It called the summit \u201cdumbfounding and nonsensical,\u201d and said it will allow North Korea to permanently maintain its nuclear weapons program. (AP)",

The profile confirms an ongoing trend of steady growth and features a set of new records.\n\u201cWe are thrilled to have the semester underway with another record-breaking year at Lee,\u201d Cook said. \u201cOur student body is bigger and more academically prepared than ever, and our campus wide retention efforts are producing great results. This kind of success is especially gratifying in today\u2019s extremely competitive higher education environment.\u201d\nThe overall headcount of 5,370 students is the largest ever. This number is a combined total of Lee students from all classifications, on and off campus.\nThe 2017 freshman class has broken the record set last fall for largest in the university\u2019s history. These 901 freshman have also topped the previous record for best average ACT at 24.6.\nFreshman to sophomore retention has also reached a new high of 81 percent. This percentage represents how many of last year\u2019s freshmen have returned for their second year.\nNot all areas of the enrollment increased as there were slight decreases in new transfers and online students.\nThe university also has an increase in full time equivalent (FTE) students. An industry-specific statistic, FTE counts how many credit hours are being taken, and tallies how many students this would mean if every student were enrolled in a full-time load of 12 credit hours.\nAccording to Cook, this means that not only are there more students at Lee than last year, but also more teaching is being done than last year. It is another solid indicator of institutional health.\nIn addition to this wonderful news about the fall enrollment, Lee also experienced a record number of 1,020 graduates during the 2016-2017 academic year.\n\u201cThis is a truly significant accomplishment,\u201d said Cook. \u201cTo have more than 1,000 students complete their degrees in one year is remarkable. These totals reflect the recent growth of our enrollment, but it also confirms the quality of students choosing Lee. You cannot have this kind of success without an outstanding faculty and staff. This is a result of their hard work and further demonstrates the kind of university Lee is becoming.\u201d\nOn Thursday, the university announced the 2017 Rymer Scholars.\nThe 2017 Rymer Scholars are pictured here (left to right) Samantha Kate Eason, John Hixon, Morgan Mantooth, Alexandra Squires, Vivian Baker, Blaire Terrell, Sarah Beavers, Sydney Morgan, and Andrea Wilhelm.\nOn Thursday, April 27, Lee University awarded nine incoming freshmen the 2017 Rymer Scholarship. Three Gold Scholars, three Silver Scholars, and three Bronze Scholars were presented the awards at the annual Rymer Scholars banquet on Lee\u2019s campus.\nThis year\u2019s Rymer Gold scholars are Sarah Beavers (WVHS), Sydney Morgan (BCHS), and Andrea Wilhelm (CHS). They each will receive a scholarship of $10,000.\nBeavers, the daughter of Michael and Dorothy Beavers, plans to pursue elementary education. Morgan, a nursing major, is the daughter of Greg and Sha\u2019Ree Morgan. Wilhelm, who is also a nursing major, is the daughter of Ricardo and Lissette Wilhelm.\nThe Rymer Silver scholars are Vivian Baker (WVHS), Alexandra Squires (WVHS), and Blaire Terrell (BCHS). They will each receive a scholarship of $5,000.\nBaker, a biochemistry major, is the daughter of Dennis and Charissa Baker. Squires, daughter of John and Kristen Squires, plans to pursue a secondary education or math major. Terrell is a biology major and the daughter of Blaine and Darleah Terrell.\nThe Rymer Bronze scholars are Samantha Eason (CHS), John Hixon (WVHS), and Morgan Mantooth (WVHS). They will each receive a scholarship of $2,000.\nEason, an elementary education major, is the daughter of Cliff and Lisa Eason. Hixon, the son of Steve and Annette Hixon, is a nursing major. Mantooth, daughter of Michael and Marsha Mantooth, also plans to major in nursing.\nTo wrap up the Lee Day festivities on April 8, seven students were awarded scholarships.\nLee University recently hosted Lee Day 2017, an annual 30-hour event geared toward prospective students and their families. To wrap up the Lee Day festivities on April 8, seven students were awarded scholarships from the annual scholarship drawing. Rachel Stock from Knoxville, Tennessee, received a $5000 scholarship.

        "raw_content": "Social Media, facebook, Can Make You Feel \u201cDown\u201d and Depress Your Mood\n(Dave Westrich)\nHonestly, I\u2019m not a fan of social media and never have been. I\u2019m not interested in, nor do I want to know every person\u2019s little whim, thought, rant or philosophical view. It\u2019s only because my job requires me to be involved in certain social media that I am. Now there\u2019s news that affirms my natural instincts about social media \u2013 a study\u2019s results show that spending time on facebook depresses our moods.\nThis study, conducted by two psychologists at the University of Innsbruck in Austria, finds that the time we spend on facebook can make us feel a little depressed even if we don\u2019t have a reason to feel sad. Why? The researchers say that the more time we spend on facebook, the more we realize that we\u2019re engaging ourselves in something that\u2019s not meaningful. In turn, that realization makes us feel a little \u201cdown.\u201d\nA noticeable dip in mood was noticed when participants in the study spent a significant period of time on facebook. The researchers concluded that, \u201cAlthough facebook is an excellent tool for \u2026staying in touch with acquaintances, there are serious disadvantages of using it, such as envy, lowered life satisfaction of basic psychological needs and dampened moods.\u201d\nHowever, this is not the first study on this issue. Others have been done with very similar results. (see video)\nSo what should we all do about this? The solution is obvious. Spend more time face-to-face with your friends and family instead of in virtual facebook la-la land.

        "raw_content": "Brooding, untameable, downright tortured - what's not to love? For many a reader, Heathcliff is the rugged embodiment of Byronic allure, all sturm und drang. This isn't the only romantic clich\u00e9 he personifies, either. He's a walking rescue fantasy, the rejected child who's suffered endless slights on his journey to manhood and requires only the love of a good woman to soothe his volatile soul. He's misunderstood - deep and complicated and badly in need of someone who'll truly get him. Love for him is extreme, addictive, nihilistic - it's about merging with another with such urgency that nothing else matters. And let's not forget the tall-dark-handsome part, which is further enhanced by athleticism and smouldering eyes \"full of black fire\". With his kinetic blend of instinct, intelligence and intensity, there's something about Heathcliff to entrance readers of almost every erotic persuasion. Since Wuthering Heights was first published in 1847, its larger-than-life hero (or should that be anti-hero?) has had a profound impact on romantic literature across the spectrum, from bodice rippers and YA hits to highbrow literary fiction. His influence isn't confined to the page, either. We absorb the truths of fiction almost subliminally, and that makes them so much harder to root out Author and Bront\u00eb buff Samantha Ellis recently struck a chord with an article titled How Heathcliff ruined my love life. A self-described \"recovering Heathcliff addict\", she says Heathcliff was her \"gateway drug\". After him came Rhett Butler, Rupert Campbell-Black, Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Spike, Hilary Mantel's Thomas Cromwell\u2026 Unfortunately, they were accompanied by real-life bad boys: \"As I hit my teens, I actively chased bad men\u2026 In my twenties, I went out with men who were not always honest to me, or nice\", she writes. Literature - especially the really good stuff, and there's no denying that the totemic Wuthering Heights deserves its status as a classic - is the very best teacher, embedding its messages in our hearts and minds under the cloak of cracking storytelling and indelible imagery. We absorb the truths of brilliant fiction almost subliminally, and that makes them so much harder to root out. 'Operatic intensity' What makes Heathcliff all the more intriguing is that he was unleashed upon our collective romantic daydreams by a woman who is thought never to have had a lover, a woman who was born 200 years ago and has been variously characterised as a fragile mystic, a people-hating spinster. Emily's fierce attachment to privacy and the absence of documentation has only fuelled speculation about her short life (she died aged just 30), leading to posthumous diagnoses of everything from agoraphobia and anorexia to Asperger's. Some academics have simply refused to believe that the passion oozing from the pages of Wuthering Heights could have been conjured up using imagination alone. They've suggested romantic interests for her, including her own brother, Branwell, and even their sister, Anne. Strip away some of the wackier speculation, and Emily Bront\u00eb is still quite a character, handy with a pistol and certainly not one for small talk. Much of the 'Mad Emily' myth derives from the fact that she was simply born in the wrong era. As Claire O'Callaghan notes in her new biography, Emily Bront\u00eb Reappraised, \"Emily was an independent spirit at a time when female independence wasn't culturally welcomed.\" Heathcliff's desire is beyond obsessive, and for self-dramatising, ego-hungry teenage girls, that's potent stuff So how does Heathcliff fit into this? Because while he is the ultimate romantic hero for many, regularly popping up in polls to determine literature's most romantic character of all time, others find him considerably less charming. As the novelist Anne Tyler confided to the New York Times in 2015, \"I somehow made it to adulthood without ever reading Wuthering Heights, but then I found out that several of my women friends considered Heathcliff their all-time favourite romantic hero. So I read about three-quarters of it as a grown-up, and immediately developed some serious concerns about the mental health of my friends.\" The crucial point here is that Tyler read the book as a \"grown-up\". Most of us read Wuthering Heights in our teens. In other words, when we're wildly impressionable and at an age when our crush on that kid in the year above feels like the greatest love story ever. Heathcliff's desire is beyond obsessive, and for self-dramatising, ego-hungry teenage girls, that's potent stuff. There's also this to note: despite the operatic intensity of it all, there remains something safe about Heathcliff and his passion, because he's always filtered through a narrator or two. At one point, we're reading Isabella's account as told to Nelly as told to Lockwood. And their love, remember, is never consummated. It's all very - well, teenage. It makes absolute sense that it should be the favourite novel of Twilight's Bella and Edward. Bad romance Cinematic renderings of the text have much to answer for, too. Heathcliff has been portrayed by Laurence Olivier, Ralph Fiennes and\u2026 Cliff Richard. Most of these adaptations only deal with the first half of the novel, dodging the raw bleakness of its later chapters, which can feel claustrophobic in their portrayal of unpleasant characters being utterly vile to one another. Remember when Gordon Brown likened himself to Heathcliff? It was assumed he meant the character's filmic incarnation, especially when he qualified it by saying \"maybe an older Heathcliff and a wiser Heathcliff\". In the novel, we actually get to meet an older Heathcliff, and he's even more difficult - a tyrannical landlord consumed by his desire for revenge. Emily's sister Charlotte, ever ready to do her own sibling down, called Heathcliff's love \"perverted passion and passionate perversity\" Return to the novel older, maybe wiser, and almost certainly with some experience of dating those who might politely be dubbed rogue, and Heathcliff is an altogether less appealing proposition. He's surly and sulky. He's violent, abusive and needy. He grins, he growls, he sneers. And he's really not one for moving on. Emily's sister Charlotte, ever ready to do her own sibling down, called Heathcliff's love \"perverted passion and passionate perversity\". It's true that having been raised as siblings, Heathcliff and Cathy's infatuation is laced with a queasy tug of incest. But even without that, their relationship can easily be read as obsessive, destructive, co-dependent - in a word, toxic. Maybe it's best not to think of Wuthering Heights as a romance at all. In the words of cult literary theorist Terry Eagleton, the relationship between Heathcliff and Cathy is \"scarcely a relationship at all.\" Why? \"There is no question of otherness involved.\" Certainly, Cathy's famous quotes \"I am Heathcliff\" and \"he's more myself than I am\", connote something annihilating. Whatever your take on Heathcliff, it's astonishing to think that a quirky, relatively isolated young woman, born in 1818, and very likely drawing on zero experience of sexual passion, could have been the one to create him. That she did so should make us think again about eroticism. Because private though she was, we do know from her verse that she took vivid, sweeping delight in the natural world, proving that you don't need to have had sex or even fallen in love to experience that same surging swell of emotion. Of course, you still might want to think twice before casting Emily Bront\u00eb in the role of romance counsellor.",

        "raw_content": "Charles Paul Logg Jr. was born February 24, 1931 in Princeton. Chuck\u2019s father was the crew coach at Princeton University. The family moved to New Brunswick after his father was named crew coach at Rutgers in 1937. He held that job for 22 years. The crew team trained on the Raritan River, and eventually so did Chuck, who began taking the sport seriously when he enrolled at Rutgers in 1949. Within three years, he developed into an elite-level rower under his father\u2019s tutelage.\nIn the spring of 1952, Charlie and his Scarlet Knight teammate, Tom Price, shocked the rowing establishment by making the U.S. Olympic team. Charlie had not set foot in a pair-oared shell until three months before the Summer Games. Even more amazing, Price hadn\u2019t started rowing at all until 1951.\nIn Helsinki, the pair finished dead last in their first heat and actually collided with another boat. However, they won their next race, which qualified them for the finals. They won the gold medal\u2014the first and only U.S. victory in the coxless pair event\u2014finishing three seconds ahead of the second-place Belgians.\nChuck and Tom were celebrated as The Cinderella Kids after their boat, which they named after the fairy tale character. They were feted with a motorcade upon their return to New Brunswick. Following graduation, Chuck went into the military. He and Price reunited for the 1955 Pan American Games and won gold again. They fell short of qualifying for the 1956 Olympics, however.\nDuring the 1960s, Chuck worked as an executive in the helicopter industry. He got into commercial farming in Florida starting in the 1970s. In 2014, Chuck was the featured speaker at the 150th Anniversary celebration of the Rutgers rowing program. He was joined by several Olympians who also went through the program, including Fred Borchelt, Jeff Klepacki, Rob Kaehler, Charley Butt and Jennfier Dore-Terhaar.",

        "raw_content": "Mary Tyler Moore, actress who defined the part of modern woman, dies at 80\nBy Dennis McLellan \u2022 Updated Jan 25, 2017 at 8:24 PM\nComfortably single and unafraid to stand up to her gruff newsroom boss, Mary Richards splashed onto television screens at a time when feminism was still putting down roots in America, a woman who charged through the working day with equal parts humor and raw independence.\nMary Tyler Moore\u2019s character charmed TV watchers, earned the actress Emmy nominations and became a potent symbol of womanhood in the 1970s. The actress and her television character became so entwined that Moore became a role model for women who sought to challenge the conventions of marriage and family.\n\u201cShe wasn\u2019t married. She wasn\u2019t looking to get married. At no point did the series end in a happy ending with her finding a husband \u2014 which seemed to be the course you had to take as a woman,\u201d former first lady Michelle Obama said in an interview in August. As a young girl, Obama said, she drew inspiration from the character.\nMoore died Wednesday in Greenwich, Conn., from cardiopulmonary arrest after being hospitalized with pneumonia. She was 80.\nIn a career that began as Happy Hotpoint, the dancing and singing 3-inch pixie in Hotpoint appliance commercials on \u201cThe Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet\u201d in 1955 when she was 18, Moore went on to star in television and films and on Broadway.\nIn 1981, she received an Academy Award nomination for best actress for her portrayal of the emotionally cold mother in \u201cOrdinary People,\u201d the Robert Redford-directed drama about an upper-middle-class family dealing with the death of a teen-age son in a boating accident and the attempted suicide of their surviving son.\nIn a statement Wednesday, Redford said he admired Moore for taking such a role.\n\u201cThe courage she displayed in taking on a role darker than anything she had ever done was brave and enormously powerful,\u201d he said.\nThe unsympathetic, nearly bloodless role was a departure for Moore, who remains best-known for her light and sunny touch in two classic situation comedies that together earned her six Emmy Awards.\nMoore was still largely unknown when she was cast as Laura Petrie, the suburban housewife and mother of a young son opposite Dick Van Dyke\u2019s TV comedy writer husband Rob on \u201cThe Dick Van Dyke Show.\u201d\nThe acclaimed sitcom, which aired on CBS from 1961 to 1966, earned Moore her first two Emmys and made her a star.\nHer Capri-pants-wearing Laura brought something new to the traditional sitcom role of wife and mother: youthful sex appeal.\nAs Carl Reiner, the series\u2019 creator, said of Rob and Laura in a 2004 TV Guide interview: \u201cThese were two people who really liked each other.\u201d\nMoore agreed, saying: \u201cWe brought romance to comedy, and, yes, Rob and Laura had sex!\u201d\nVan Dyke often praised Moore\u2019s abilities as a comedic actress \u2014 one who has been credited with turning crying into a comedic art form and memorably got her toe stuck in a hotel room bathtub faucet in one episode.\n\u201cShe was one of the few who could maintain her femininity and be funny at the same time,\u201d Van Dyke said in a 1998 interview with the Archive of American Television. \u201cYou have to go as far back as Carole Lombard or Myrna Loy to find someone who could play it that well and still be tremendously appealing as a woman.\u201d\nAfter the Van Dyke show ended in 1966, Moore starred as Holly Golightly in a problem-plagued Broadway musical version of \u201cBreakfast at Tiffany\u2019s\u201d that producer David Merrick closed after four previews in New York.\nMoore also played Julie Andrews\u2019 roommate in the hit flapper-era comedy-musical movie \u201cThoroughly Modern Millie\u201d in 1967. But her budding film career, which included playing a nun opposite Elvis Presley\u2019s ghetto doctor in \u201cChange of Habit,\u201d was less than stellar.\nShe was reunited with Van Dyke in a 1969 musical-variety TV special, a critical and ratings success that spurred CBS to offer her a commitment to do her own half-hour comedy series.\nMoore and her second husband, TV executive Grant Tinker, created MTM Enterprises, their own independent TV production company, whose logo \u2014 in a takeoff on MGM\u2019s roaring lion \u2014 was a meowing orange kitten.\nTinker hired writers James L. Brooks and Allan Burns to create and produce \u201cThe Mary Tyler Moore Show,\u201d which debuted on CBS in 1970 and made TV history.\nThe series, featuring Moore as Mary Richards, a single woman in her 30s who lands a job as an associate producer in a Minneapolis TV newsroom, won 29 Emmys during its seven-year run.\nFour of those Emmys went to Moore, whose character became a symbol of the independent 1970s career woman.\nAs Ed Asner\u2019s lovably gruff and rumpled Lou Grant tells her when she applies for a job in the newsroom at WJM-TV: \u201cYou know what? You\u2019ve got spunk. I hate spunk.\u201d\nEllen DeGeneres, who later invited Moore to play herself in several episodes of the sitcom \u201cEllen,\u201d said she was an admirer of both Moore and her alter ego. \u201cMary Tyler Moore changed the world for all women,\u201d she tweeted after Moore\u2019s death became public.\nIn the wake of the success of \u201cThe Mary Tyler Moore Show,\u201d the MTM empire grew to include series such as \u201cThe Bob Newhart Show,\u201d \u201cRhoda,\u201d \u201cLou Grant,\u201d \u201cRemington Steele,\u201d \u201cWKRP in Cincinnati,\u201d \u201cHill Street Blues\u201d and \u201cSt. Elsewhere.\u201d\nAfter \u201cThe Mary Tyler Moore Show\u201d left the air in 1977, Moore failed with two TV comedy variety shows within the next two years.\nBut she scored on Broadway, winning a special Tony Award in 1980 for her performance as the quadriplegic lead character in the Broadway revival of \u201cWhose Life Is It Anyway?\u201d \u2014 a part originally written for a man.\nIn 1993, Moore won her seventh Emmy, for her supporting role as the ruthless owner of a 1940s Tennessee adoption agency in the Lifetime cable drama \u201cStolen Babies.\u201d\nHer two returns to the sitcom format in the mid- and late \u201980s \u2014 \u201cMary\u201d and \u201cAnnie McGuire\u201d \u2014 were short-lived, as was the 1995 newspaper drama \u201cNew York News,\u201d on which she played the autocratic editor of a tabloid newspaper.\nIn the years after \u201cThe Mary Tyler Moore Show,\u201d she dealt with a series of personal problems and tragedies.\nIn 1978, her younger sister, Elizabeth, died of a drug overdose. In 1980, Richie, her 24-year-old son from her first marriage, fatally shot himself in what was ruled an accident. And in 1992, Moore\u2019s brother John, a recovering alcoholic, died after a long battle with kidney cancer.\nIn the mid-\u201980s, Moore checked into the Betty Ford Center to seek treatment for alcoholism.\nIn a 1986 interview with Maclean\u2019s magazine, Moore said: \u201cI am glad I was able to be a kind of role model for other women who identified with my ladylike qualities, who were then able to say, \u2018Well, if Mary can admit she had a problem with alcohol, then maybe I can too.\u2019 \u201d\nAsner said he treasured the years he worked alongside Moore.\n\u201cI will never be able to repay her for the blessings that she gave me,\u201d he said in a tweet.\nMoore was born in the New York City borough of Brooklyn on Dec. 29, 1936. Her father was a clerk for Consolidated Edison who worked at the Southern California Gas Co. after the family moved to Los Angeles in 1945.\nMoore began taking dance classes while in grade school and appeared in recitals. She continued to take dance lessons and perform through her years at Immaculate Heart High School, where she dreamed of dancing her way to stardom.\nIn her autobiography, Moore described her strict Catholic father as \u201cundemonstrative\u201d and her more fun-loving mother as an alcoholic. As a result, Moore spent half the time living with her parents and the other half living with her aunt and grandmother.\n\u201cIt was not an ideal home life,\u201d she said in a 1999 interview with the Ottawa Citizen, noting that, even if her mom and dad \u201cweren\u2019t the best of parents,\u201d they had the best sense of humor.\n\u201cThank God, I was not abused in any way, but I was seeking approval of some sort, in many different ways,\u201d she said. \u201cFor me, it turned out to be a pat on the back for entertaining people.\u201d\nShe was 18 and five months from graduating from high school in 1955 when she met 27-year-old Dick Meeker, an Ocean Spray cranberry products salesman, who had moved into a small apartment in the house next door to her parents\u2019 home.\nThey were married two months after she graduated, and their son Richie was born the following year.\nAs a working mother, Moore found jobs dancing in the chorus of \u201cThe Eddie Fisher Show\u201d and other TV variety shows, and appeared in commercials.\nHer first regular acting role came in 1959 when she played Sam, the sultry-voiced telephone operator on the David Janssen TV series \u201cRichard Diamond, Private Detective\u201d \u2014 an uncredited role in which no more than her legs or an extreme close-up of her mouth were seen on screen.\nPublicity for the show played up the mysterious Sam. But, Moore wrote in her book, when she asked for more money, she was replaced by another anonymous actress after 13 episodes.\nAfter her stint as Sam, Moore played small parts in TV series such as \u201c77 Sunset Strip,\u201d \u201cHawaiian Eye,\u201d \u201cBourbon Street Beat\u201d and \u201cRiverboat.\u201d\nShe auditioned to replace Sherry Jackson as Danny Thomas\u2019 grown-up daughter on his popular sitcom, but missed landing the part by a nose: her own.\n\u201cHere\u2019s the reason you didn\u2019t get the part,\u201d she later recalled the famously large-nosed Thomas telling her: \u201cWith a nose like yours, no one would believe you\u2019re my daughter.\u201d\nTwo years later, when Thomas, executive producer Sheldon Leonard and Reiner were looking for someone to play the wife in Van Dyke\u2019s new TV series, Thomas said: \u201cWho was the kid we liked so much last year, the one with the three names and the funny nose?\u201d\nMoore, whose first marriage ended in divorce in 1961, married Tinker in 1962. They were divorced in 1981. In 1983, she married Dr. Robert Levine, a Manhattan cardiologist.\nShe was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 1969 and later served as the international chairman of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.\nIn 2012, she received the Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award.\n(McLellan is a former Times staff writer.)",

        "title": "Scientists Pinpoint How Ocean Acidification Weakens Coral Skeletons | Ocean Leadership",
        "raw_content": "(Credit: Hannah Barkley, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution)\n(From Science Daily) \u2014 Corals grow their skeletons upward toward sunlight and also thicken them to reinforce them.\nThe new research, led by scientists at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), shows that ocean acidification particularly impedes the thickening process \u2014 decreasing the skeletons\u2019 density and leaving them more vulnerable to breaking. The study was published today (Jan. 29, 2018) in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.\n\u201cOur research incorporates the nuances of coral skeletal growth, enabling more precise projections of how, where, and by how much, ocean acidification will affect tropical reef-building corals,\u201d said Nathaniel Mollica, who is lead author of the study and a graduate student in the MIT-WHOI Joint Program in Oceanography. The research team also included Weifu Guo, Anne Cohen, and Andrew Solow (WHOI), Kuo-Fang Huang (Academia Sinica in Taiwan), and Hannah Donald and Gavin Foster (University of Southampton in England).\nThe research team developed a numerical model simulating this detailed skeletal growth mechanism and coupled it with projected changes in ocean pH (a measure of its acidity) induced by global climate change. The results showed that declines in coral skeletal density will occur on many coral reefs. The impact will be especially strong in the Indo-Pacific region, with up to 20 percent reductions in the densities of coral skeletons by 2100 in parts of the Coral Triangle \u2014 the area bounded by the waters of Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Timor Leste, and the Solomon Islands. Corals in the Caribbean, Hawaii and northern Red Sea could fare better, the authors say, with declines of less than 10 percent caused by ocean acidification alone.\n\u201cThis very important study determined the specific way a coral species is affected by ocean acidification and modelled the effect of future environmental conditions,\u201d said David Garrison, director of the National Science Foundation\u2019s Biological Oceanography program, which funded a major part of the research, together with The Robertson Foundation and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.\nCoral skeletons are made of aragonite, a form of calcium carbonate. Corals grow their skeletons upward by stacking bundles of aragonite crystals, one on top of the other. At the same time, they thicken those bundles with additional crystals, which strengthens the skeletons and helps them withstand breakage caused by currents, waves, storms, and boring and biting by worms, molluscs, and parrotfish.\n\u201cCoral reefs are among the most diverse ecosystems on Earth, with enormous cultural, ecological, and economic value,\u201d said Anne Cohen, a scientist at WHOI and co-author of the study. Reefs face multiple stresses, including rising sea levels, changing nutrient regimes, and warmer ocean temperatures, she said, but unlike ocean warming, which causes visible bleaching, the impact of ocean acidification is more insidious and difficult to detect, and thus harder to predict.\nOcean acidification is caused by rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, mostly from burning fossil fuels. The carbon dioxide (CO2) is absorbed by seawater, setting in motion chemical reactions that produce bicarbonate (HCO3-) and carbonate (CO32-) ions. Coral polyps \u2014 the tiny living soft-bodied coral animals \u2014 bring in seawater containing HCO3-, CO32\u2013 and calcium (Ca2+) ions into a \u201ccalcifying space\u201d between its cells and the surface of the existing skeleton. They pump hydrogen ions (H+) out of this space to produce more\u2026",

        "raw_content": "The National Museum of Turkmenistan\nTechnical parameters of the museum:\nGeneral area \u2013 14563 sq.m\nExhibition area \u2013 3171 sq.m\nNumber of exhibition halls \u2013 7\nNumber of storage units \u2013 33776\nDesigned for 2500 visitors a day\nOn the 12th of November the greatest museum complex in Turkmenistan and the Middle East opened its doors in Ashgabat, combining the collections of the former museums of history and ethnography, regional study and the arts.\nAbout 500,000 exhibits are displayed in the new museum. It boasts a full collection of Turkmenistan\u2019s most significant architectural finds of the XX century; a large number of ancient Turkmen carpets and rugs; examples of national dress and fabrics; traditional household equipment; musical instruments; weapons; jewelry; orders and medals, and historical documents. Its unique collection of paintings, drawings and sculptures includes not only Turkmen fine arts but masterpieces of some Russian and Western European artists of the nineteenth-twentieth centuries. The collection includes early paintings, water-colors and icons among its exhibits. Moreover the museum reveals the variety of Turkmenistan\u2019s landscape; its floras and fauna, fossils and rare geological finds.\nLet\u2019s take a small excursion through the museum and its halls.\nOn the first floor, to the left of the centre of the building, where a sculpture of the state emblem is installed on a high foundation, is the HALL OF INDEPENDENCE, illustrating the modern development of the country, along with a range of costly presents given to Saparmurat Turkmenbashi \u2013 President of Turkmenistan, and donated by him to the museum.\nThe second floor is entirely dedicated to archeology and ethnography. The first three halls feature displays in chronological order. THE HALL OF ANCIENT HISTORY presents a collection of flint tools from the Mezolithic era (50 000 years B.C.), used by primitive people in Western Turkmenistan, along with Neolithic ceramics and ornaments from the first human settlements along the northern slopes of Kopetdag. There are also objects made from clay and metal/ semi-precious stones and bone, witnessing the high level of development of the early agricultural civilizations of Jeitun, Altyn-Depe, Namazg, Anau etc. They represent the northern complex of old-eastern most famous in Babylon and Assyria.\nThe place of honor is this hall is occupied by Margiana, a unique Bronze Age civilization discovered by archeologists in the Karakum desert to the north of the modern town of Bairamali which was a fertile delta of the river Murgab about 3000 years ago. There was a set of settlements with mighty towers and monumental sanctuaries.\nTHE HALL OF ANTIQUITY covers the eventful period of history from the Akheminidic period (YI-IY centures B.C.) to the first centuries A.D. Parphian culture II-I cent. B.C. dominates here which became the largest empire of the East, competing with Rome itself.\nA full collection of ritons \u2013special horn-like vessels made of ivory featuring magnificent art-are represented alongside a number of exhibits. All of them were found in Ashgabad\u2019s suburbs, at excavations of Old Nisa \u2013 residence of Parphian kings from the Arshakid Dynasty. Marble sculptures and silver, gold and bronze items from Parphian Nisa are outstanding examples of art closely connected with the Hellenistic tradition.\nIn this hall one can see exhibits from other regions of antique Turkmenistan \u2013 from Khorezm (in the north), the Kushansk empire (along the Amu-Darya rive) and primarily from Merv, the largest archeological site in all Central Asia which has yielded a number of discoveries \u2013 from buildings to coins and tiny gems.\nTHE HALL OF THE MIDDLE AGES tells about the Sasanidic epoch which was linked to a new growth in the culture of the ancient Central Asian oases. Several Buddah images and a wonderful painted vase from Merv attract the eye in perticular.\nMost of the exhibits in this hall date from the middle ages which came to Turkmenistan after the Arabian conquest in YII century. The heyday of this culture came will the Seldzuck empire (XI-XII cent.).\nETHNOGRAPHY is represented in two halls on the second floor and in one hall on the first floor. Between them is the giant carpet \u2013\u201cSaparmurat Turkmenbashi\u201d. Its 266 square meters of classical Tekin design was woven by the collective of carpet-makers in just five months.\nHousehold objects, women\u2019s, men\u2019s and children\u2019s national costume, examples of old Turkmen weapons, musical instruments, hand-written books and displays of traditional life from the XYIII-beginning of XX centuries are displayed in the ethnographic halls.\nTurkmenistan\u2019s famous handcrafted carpets of dyed sheep\u2019s wool are finest masterpieces of its national art. Dark red and brown shades dominate with ornaments and colors differing depending on the local traditions of Turkmen tribes and regions: Tekin, Iomud, Kerki, Gyzylayak etc.\nThe brightest examples of this tradition are embroidered fabrics and gilded silver jewelry featuring precious stones, stamping and engraving.\nTHE HALL OF NATURE completes the museum. Turkmenistan is very rich in mineral fossils and all their variety is represented in this hall of the museum. One can see fossils of the Paleozoic era and ammonite fossils which are millions of years old, mountain rock samples and representatives of Turkmen flora and fauna including andemics a of kind only found in Turkmenistan.\nBut contrary to most people\u2019s idea of a museum as being concerned only with exhibitions we should remember the displays are actually only a small part of the facility\u2019s work.\nFirst of all, the museum is a scientific research institute whose functions include acquisition, storage, study and popularization of important samples of natural history and physical and spiritual culture \u2013 primary sources of knowledge about the development of nature and society.",

        "raw_content": "Touting the Nags, or, Last Call on the Cheap Horses\n(May 21, 2004) Now that the gold price is meandering around at the sub-$400 level, it\u2019s becoming even more attractive to take a position in the world\u2019s favorite precious metal. The question often is, what form of gold should I buy? We have one good answer for you, but time is running out\u2026.\nWhat follows is our final and most blatant sales pitch on our favorite bullion choice, the 2002 Australian Year of the Horse 1-ounce gold bullion coin.\nThe Year of the Horse is the 7th in the series of gold Lunar Cycle Animal Coins issued by the Perth Mint of Australia. This .9999 legal-tender bullion coin series began in 1996 (the Year of the Rat), and will end with the 2007 issue (the Year of the Boar).\nIt\u2019s a very popular series, and we have sold thousands of these beautiful 1-ounce gold coins. So far, the first issue to sell out all of its 30,000 mintage is the Year of the Dragon, issued in 2000. The Dragon today trades for over $500 per coin.\nToday, gold is some 10% cheaper than it was seven weeks ago, so there\u2019s an argument for buying gold here \u2018on the dip.\u2019 But why the Horse? What are the value dynamics of a bullion choice which also has a limited-edition collectible aspect to it?\nProbably the most apt comparison is with the China Panda series, which pioneered the idea of collectible gold bullion coins with a design which varies each year.\nIn 1982, the Panda debuted, and China sold around 30,000 of the 1-ounce gold Pandas. Five years later, in a strong gold market, the 1982 Panda coin was selling for over $3,500, nearly six times its actual gold value. Later Panda issues had much higher mintages, and no other year ever performed as well as the 1982.\nBut it is worth noting that in the booming gold market of the late 1980\u2019s, a supply of merely 30,000 of the 1982 Pandas was simply not enough to meet demand, and its price skyrocketed.\nYet, arguably the Australian Lunar Series is potentially a much more collectible set than the Chinese Pandas. Each coin in the Lunar Series showcases a beautifully rendered animal image. Also, the 12-year Lunar Calendar repeats itself every dozen years, so everyone on earth can identify their birth year with one of these animals. And artistically, the Lunar Series detailed designs are more impressive than the Pandas\u2019 cartoon-like images of an animal which, let\u2019s be honest, is rendered as a mere teddy bear.\nThe Perth Mint has wisely chosen to limit mintages on this entire Lunar Series to 30,000 1-ounce coins each year. Therefore, there is the potential for these to trade at higher premiums in the future.\nThe Horse is going to be the next to sell out, probably in the next few weeks. Over 90% of the 1-ounce Horses authorized already have been sold - chiefly in America, where everybody and his sister love horses. Plus, this 12-year set still has three years to run, and in a bullish gold market, collector interest in the series will surely blossom.\nAs long as the Perth Mint has them available, we are pricing the Horse as a standard bullion product. But as of early this week, it would only take about US$1.2 million to buy out the entire remainder of 1-ounce 2002 Horses available from the Perth Mint. Time is running out.\nCall me at 800 800 4485 if you would like to book some Horses now!\nDisclaimer: Onlygold.com, its parent company CSG Inc, and officers and employees of CSG Inc. are gold marketers, and not investment advisors.

        "raw_content": "The Antiwar Tradition in American Letters\nby Allen Mendenhall Posted on July 13, 2016 July 12, 2016\nA review of War No More: Three Centuries of American Antiwar and Peace Writing. Lawrence Rosenwald, editor. New York: The Library of America, 2016. 838 pgs.\nJames Carroll, the novelist and Christian man of letters who has won numerous accolades over a long, distinguished career, sets the tone for this fine edition, War No More, in his short foreword. \u201cWars,\u201d he says, \u201chave defined the nation\u2019s narrative, especially once the apocalyptic fratricide of the Civil War set the current running in blood \u2013 toward the Jim Crow reenslavement of African Americans, further genocidal assaults against native peoples, imperial adventures abroad, a two-phased World War that permanently militarized the American economy and spawned a bifurcated imagination that so requires an evil enemy that the Cold War morphed seamlessly into the War on Terror.\u201d\nWe\u2019ve seen editions like this before \u2013 We Who Dared to Say No to War, edited by Murray Polner and Thomas E. Woods Jr. comes to mind \u2013 but the focus here is different and decidedly literary. Lawrence Rosenwald, the editor, believes the \u201cantiwar impulse\u201d requires a rich \u201cvocabulary\u201d that\u2019s \u201cvisionary, sensual, prophetic, outraged, introspective, self-doubting, fantastic, irreverent, witty, obscene, uncertain, heartbroken\u201d \u2013 in short, that signals a range of human emotions and experiences. Rosenwald promises that \u201c[a]ll of those traits are on display here,\u201d and follows through with essays and memoirs by Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Kurt Vonnegut, Edmund Wilson, and, among others, Norman Mailer.\nRosenwald has also achieved a diversity of genre. He includes poems by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Stephen Crane, Adrienne Rich, Herman Melville, Robert Bly, Sara Teasdale, Edna St. Vincent Millay, George Starbuck, and Walt Whitman; short stories by Ray Bradbury and Ambrose Bierce; a genre-defying piece by Mark Twain (\u201cThe War Prayer\u201d); songs by Country Joe McDonald, Ed McCurdy, and Pete Seeger and Joe Hickerson; a statement before a federal grand jury; letters and an interview; a gospel song (\u201cDown by the River-Side\u201d); a leaflet on the Vietnam War (the conflict with the most permeating presence in the book); excerpts of the prefatory articles of the Constitution of the Iroquois Confederacy; and more.\nWomen as a class are underrepresented in Rosenwald\u2019s selections. I count 104 men and 35 women among the contributors. Are there fewer women involved in the antiwar movement throughout American history? Or did Rosenwald ignore females because of his preference for particular writers and writings? We may never know because he does not address the gender disparity. If antiwar writers are, in fact, disproportionally male, then further study of that curious fact \u2013 or at least some speculation about it \u2013 seems warranted.\nMultiple traditions merge in these pages: John Woolman, Benjamin Rush, and Reinhold Niebuhr speak as Christians; Eugene V. Debs, Jane Addams, Arturo Giovannitti, and Howard Zinn as proxies for the Left; and Andrew Bacevich as a representative of the Right. Figures like Randolph Bourne cut across trite political labels. And writers associated with certain styles and forms demonstrate their versatility with other kinds of writing. For instance, Robert Lowell, known for his poetry, shows his mastery of the epistolary form in his letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt.\nRosenwald proves to be far more astute than Jonah Goldberg in his assessment of William James\u2019s \u201cThe Moral Equivalent of War.\u201d Whereas Rosenwald submits that this essay is \u201cintended as oppositional\u201d to war, Goldberg, a senior editor at National Review, treats it as fascist and accuses it of presenting \u201cmilitarism as a social philosophy\u201d that was not only \u201ca pragmatic expedient\u201d but also the basis for \u201ca workable and sensible model for achieving desirable ends.\u201d Of course, Goldberg has been wrong before.\nGiven that Rosenwald purports to have featured the writing of \u201cpacifists,\u201d the inclusion of John Kerry and Barack Obama is deplorable. True, Kerry\u2019s statement against the Vietnam War is notable as a work of peace activism, but Kerry also voted in 2002 to authorize President Bush\u2019s use of force to disarm Saddam Hussein, advocated U.S. military involvement in Syria, and appears at least partially responsible for the US backing of Saudi-led bombings in Yemen.\nIf opposition to the Vietnam War is now the measure of pacifism, then most Americans today are pacifists, there being, as of the year 2000, just 30% of Americans who believe that that war was not a mistake, according to a Gallup poll. Thus, Kerry is hardly unique in such opposition. Nicholson Baker, in his energetic essay for this volume, seems more attuned than Rosenwald to Kerry\u2019s foreign-policy prescriptions, castigating Kerry for inciting military involvement in Gaddafi\u2019s Libya.\nPresident Obama, for his part, has overseen regular bombings throughout the Middle East, including in Pakistan, Yemen, Iraq, and Somalia; ordered US military intervention in Libya; increased US troop levels in Afghanistan and escalated US military operations there; and urged Americans to support US military involvement in Syria. These positions are ironic in light of his warning, in his piece in this collection, against traveling \u201cblindly\u201d down \u201cthat hellish path\u201d to war.\nRosenwald\u2019s brief, personal introductions (he recalls hearing James Baldwin speak in the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York, for instance, and mentions a tribute he wrote for Daniel Berrigan) to each chapter engender an autobiographical feel. One senses that this book represents a patchwork of accumulated memories, that Rosenwald has recounted and repurposed old reading experiences for present political needs. Inviting Carroll to pen the foreword, moreover, was entirely appropriate and wise. As this review opened with Carroll\u2019s eloquent words, so it closes with them.\n\u201cBecause the human future, for the first time in history, is itself imperiled by the ancient impulse to respond to violence with violence,\u201d Carroll intones, \u201cthe cry \u2018war no more!\u2019 can be heard coming back at us from time ahead, from the as yet unborn men and women \u2013 the ultimate voices of peace \u2013 who simply will not come into existence if the essential American soul does not change.\u201d But all is not lost; Carroll remains optimistic. \u201cThe voices of this book, a replying chorus of hope,\u201d he says, \u201cinsist that such change is possible.\u201d\nAllen Mendenhall is a writer, author, and managing editor of Southern Literary Review.

        "raw_content": "September 15th, 2013. Filed under creatives,innovators,inspiration,quotes,Social Good,social good models\nAre you comfortable calling yourself a leader? Drew Dudley asks the audience this question during his TEDx Talk in Toronto. Few hands reluctantly elevate as he goes onto explain that this is the most common response from his audiences and from most people, generally. I\u2019ll admit that I wouldn\u2019t readily label myself as a leader \u2013 but why not? It could be because of the skewed perception that leadership equates to power. In other words, we think of leaders as being \u201chigher beings\u201d or, like Drew says in his talk, a \u201ccharacteristic reserved for the extraordinary.\u201d This is where we go wrong. Leadership is not only power and status; it just so happens that it most often reveals itself through those means. In truth, it is a combination of honest action and emotion. We need to start thinking of leadership in a different way and broaden it\u2019s current definition. In my eyes, leadership is the ability to communicate well, have confidence and reliability, creativity, and strong intuition.\nIf you watch Drew\u2019s talk, he goes on to explain how a small event, what he calls a \u201clollipop moment,\u201d in his past meant the world to another person. It\u2019s proof that we are more important than we know. I have always been a hard worker both in school and at my jobs, I am a positive role model to my younger relatives, and am a rock for my friends and family. From now on, I vow to call myself a leader. I will no longer be afraid of coming off as arrogant or wondering if I truly deserve the credit of such an influential title. Let\u2019s redefine leadership to make it more attainable. Be fair to yourself \u2013 you are a leader, and you deserve to call yourself one.\nTags: inspiration, inspire, lead, leaders, leadership, positive, positivity, role models\nIn SXSW?

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb Afghanistan \u00bb US-Taliban Talks \u2018Delegitimizes\u2019 the Afghan Govt\nUS-Taliban Talks \u2018Delegitimizes\u2019 the Afghan Govt\nWASHINGOTN - Ryan Crocker said the Taliban \u201cgot what they wanted\u201d in terms of the US, and not the Afghan government, meeting with them.\nFormer US ambassador to Afghanistan Ryan C. Crocker has said that peace talks between representatives of the Taliban and US officials in Qatar further undermines the credibility of the Afghan government.\nThis comes in the wake of reports that US officials met with Taliban officials in Doha, Qatar, to discuss the possibility of peace talks to end the war in Afghanistan.\nAccording to Crocker, no representative from the Afghan government was in the room during the talks between the Taliban and the US.\n\u201cIt is different, not, I think, in a positive way for the United States - certainly not for the government of Afghanistan. These talks apparently took place without the Afghan government being present. That's a huge deal because the Taliban has long insisted that they are ready to talk to us but not with the illegitimate - their term - Afghan government in the room. They got what they wanted. It will further delegitimize the Afghan government. So this may lead somewhere. I don't think it's going to lead anywhere good for the Afghan government itself,\u201d said Crocker.\nMeanwhile, Chief Executive Officer Abdullah Abdullah has said that the Afghan government is fully aware of these developments and that the main objective of the efforts by Washington is to pave the way for peace talks between the Afghan government and the Taliban.\nAccording to Crocker, the US is staying in Afghanistan at the invitation of the Afghan government, but he said that when the Afghan government is not present in the room, it creates concerns about the legitimacy of government.\n\u201cNot at all. What it does is put the Taliban really on a - if not a legal plane with the United States, certainly symbolically. They are talking about the American withdrawal and the circumstances of that withdrawal. We are there at the invitation of the Afghan government. They're not in the room. So if we withdraw, to whom do we hand this over to, the Taliban? That's the symbol we've got out there now. That's what the country is seeing, that the Taliban is their future because that's who the Americans are talking to, not the government in Kabul,\u201d he said.\nIn addition, H\u00fcseyin Avni Botsal\u0131, Ambassador and Permanent Representative of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation to Afghanistan, has said that the OIC hopes a breakthrough is achieved regarding peace in Afghanistan in the next few months.\n\u201cI am hopeful that in the coming months ahead, there will be visible progress in our engagement and with the collective authority and support of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and its member states, the psychological environment, the political environment and subsequently the economical and development environments also will start improving so that our modest contribution may add some momentum to the efforts and hopefully to the results towards building lasting peace,\u201d he said.\nAccording to report, the first round of these talks between the US and the Taliban were held in the last week of July in Qatar.\nAlice Wells, the US\u2019s Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for South and Central Asian Affairs and Mullah Sher Mohammad Abbas Stanekzai, the head of the Taliban\u2019s political office, represented their sides in the talks.\nSome media reports have however indicated that officials from the Pentagon and the Centeral Intelligence Agency (CIA) were also present at the talks.\nThe Taliban so far has not confirmed that these talks took place in Doha.\nBut media reports indicate that a number of Taliban officials have met with US officials on several occasions in the past few months.\nLast month Wall Street Journal reported that Wells met with Taliban officials to discuss ways to lay the groundwork for peace talks.\nAccording to Qatar\u2019s The Peninsula daily, US and Qatari officials discussed recent progress towards an Afghan-owned, and Afghan-led peace process, and pledged to continue both countries\u2019 efforts toward combating terrorism and promoting regional peace and stability.\nLast week President Ashraf Ghani met with Qatar\u2019s Special Envoy of the Minister of Foreign Affairs Ambassador Mutlaq bin Majed Al Qahtani, who was visiting Afghanistan.\nAccording to a statement issued by Qatar\u2019s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, they discussed bilateral relations and ways to enhance cooperation.\nThe ministry said in a statement Ghani and Al Qantani also discussed ways to achieve peace and stability in Afghanistan and the efforts by Qatar in terms of mediation in bringing together various parties involved in the conflict.

But many PI alumni and others have built fantastic careers outside of physics as well. Below are highlights from their stories.\nAfter attending PSI at Perimeter, Imogen worked as a software development engineer, first at Amazon Web Services and then at a London-based big data startup. She subsequently completed a PhD in bioinformatics, during which she invented a novel algorithm to find mutations in DNA that confer drug resistance. She then co-founded the company Hyrax Biosciences, which aims to bring routine HIV and TB drug resistance testing to low-resource settings.\nErin Bow studied experimental particle physics, then built a career in science communications, including policy writing, grant writing, and a stint as one of Perimeter\u2019s own science writers. She\u2019s now a novelist, whose recent book THE SCORPION RULES was named the Canadian Library Association's book of the year for young adults\nHenry Reich studied math and physics at Grinnell College and theoretical physics at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, where he was later an artist in residence. He's the creator of the popular YouTube video series MinutePhysics and MinuteEarth. In total the two channels have over 6.5 million subscribers.\nJen Dodd received her PhD in Physics at the University of Queensland. She has been inventing new kinds of events for 15 years, including SciBarCamp and the Festival of Ideas. She currently leads the Maker Festival initiative in Toronto and brings to the event her experience working in science outreach, education, event design and theoretical physics.",

But wouldn't it be helpful to have a list of timely fallacies--either newly minted ones or classics that are particularly popular these days?\nRe: newly minted ones, I was thinking of e.g:\nThe Support Our Troops Fallacy\n(If you oppose the war you oppose the troops)\nThe Chickenhawk Fallacy\n(You can't suport a war unless you've been in one yourself)\nThe I-Think-The-American-People-Realize Fallacy\n(When you want to convince the people of something you tell them that they already believe it)\nThe Our Enemies are Worse Fallacy\n(You try to justify a policy by pointing out how much worse our enemies are)\nThere's lots more of these I'm sure. Some of these actually turn out to be a little complicated.\nBush Wildly Popular With People Who Think Caffeine is Evil and You Get to Create Your Own Universe When You Die\nThe Mormons love them some Dubya.\nWonder where the Scientologists stand on this issue?\nDan Drezner on Newsweek on Conservatives Being Run Out of the Justice Department\n...because they're not extreme enough. Read it and freak.\n(via Drum)\nHow to Destroy Our Descendants\nUm, lessee...there's a good chance that our oil's about to run out, the experts fear that global warming is rapidly reaching a tipping point, and our dependence on oil costs us trillions of dollars and thousands of lives by keeping us entangled in the Middle East... There seems to be just about enough oil left that, if we keep burning it up at the current preposterous rate, we can irrevocably screw up the climate.\nIf only there were a solution to any of these problems...or better yet, some magical, unimaginable solution to all of them! But what could it be?\nKevin Drum's got a wee suggestion for a few smalls steps in the right direction...\nWell, there were lots of things I wanted to b!t*# about today, but to be quite honest I'm rather worn out and burned out. This administration has screwed up so profoundly and on so many fronts that it's basically impossible to even point them all out much less consider them all in detail...especially for those of us with day jobs.\nIf it's a strategy, it's actually a good one--do so many things wrong that people can't focus on any single one of them. I'm told that's basically why zebras have stripes--predators attack more successfully when they focus on one single prey animal and stick to it. When they shift attention from one target to another they are less successful. Zebras' stripes make it harder to focus in that way. The herd becomes more like an undifferentiated blur.\nUm, strained zoological analogies to the side, there's just too much incompetence and corruption in this administration to make it possible to keep track of it anymore. It's almost as if every week brings another astounding story. Even ignoring the original crimes and incompetence, the cover-ups alone are hard to keep track of--from refusal to turn over information about the composition of Cheney's energy task force to opposing formation of the 9/11 commission to opposing inquiries into Iraq intelligence...Katrina info, domestic spying info, Abramoff info... They absolutely cannot continue to get away with this, can they?\nGosh, who'd have thought that allowing a power-hungry coterie of villains fronted by an incompetent rich boy to install themselves in power by stealing an election could have turned out badly?\nKerry Was Right About Iran; Bush Flip-Flops\nHere (via Atrios).\nOf course the flip-flopping charges against Kerry were stupid; of course they were insincere Rovian rhetorical hogwash; of course no one will notice. Just passing the info along for the record.\nThe flip-flopping charge is often an inane one, anyway. The charge is used by the Rove/Cheney administration when one of its political opponents changes his mind in response to what we here in the reality-based community call \"evidence.\" In that sense, flip-flopping is actually a good thing. In the ordinary sense, flip-flopping is, I guess, when you assert that p when it's politically expedient and deny p when that's expedient. That's bad, though, of course, that's not what Kerry did.\nAnyway and on the bright side, the Bush administration is now admitting that Kerry's position on Iran was right. They'll probably credit him for it, right?\nWal-Mart and Academia\nVia Instapundit, I find this piece by James Joyner. I think Joyner gets confused part way through the argument, and the thread about academia just terminates without any conclusion or payoff. The main argument seems to be for the conclusion that low-paying jobs without benefits are good because they beat no jobs at all and serve as entry-level work. I've never really known what to make of such arguments, though I know enough about economics to know that I should keep my trap shut about this.\nBut the stuff about academia seems pointless. A mere jab at academia, a favorite target of the right.\nBut what Joyner should have said is this: adjunct work in academia is in many ways worse than stocking shelves at Wal-Mart. One can plausibly argue that shelf-stocking is an entry-level job. Adjuncting is a dead end. Adjuncting is what happens to people who are not lucky enough (or in some cases not talented enough) to land full-time academic positions. At the University of Infinite Evil, where I teach, adjuncts get paid $1,850 per course for a 15-week course. ($2,000 per course if they've got their Ph.D.) If they can keep their out-of-class work time down to 2 hours for every in-class hour, that doesn't look too bad, but that's pretty optimistic. They don't have to publish or do committee work, but they get no benefits and absolutely no job security. Most of them don't know until the week before the semester starts whether they'll be teaching. Most of them teach several courses, and many of them drive vast distances to teach adjunct at other universities, sometimes for even less money. A little adjuncting while you are finishing your degree is usually considered acceptable, but more than a little bit is the kiss of academic death.\nA single tenure-track job in philosophy will get (at a university like mine) about 200 applications. 199 of those people will have to find work elsewhere. Many of them won't. Many of them will take an adjunct position or two to make ends meet and \"keep a foot in the door\" of academia. (It's also the kiss of death to take a job outside of academia and try to get back in. You can't adjunct, but you can't work elsewhere either. You're damned if you do, damned if you don't.) Many of these people will still be adjuncting years later, as their dreams of a teaching career slowly die.\nWhile this happens, departments and universities will happily exploit them as cheap labor. Some universities, I've heard, staff 40% of their courses with adjuncts. My department used to staff 25% of its courses with adjuncts. We complain about this a good bit, and I and other have made some attempts to change things, but the fact is that there's little we can do. We can't run the university without adjuncts, and if we make too much noise about it, the university is likely to punish our department for it--and it wouldn't make a damn bit of difference.\nBy American standards, I don't make that much, but I'd be willing to make less in order to rectify this problem. On the other hand, we're already underpaid by almost any reasonable standard you can think of. People do this job primarily because they love it and not really for the money...but drop the salaries much lower and many of the most qualified would have to leave.\nAt any rate, what Joyner should have said was, roughly, physician heal thyself. Those academic types who revile Wal-Mart may be right, but there's a similar problem closer to home they might ought to think about, too.\nPerpetual War is Perpetual Peace, Freedom from Illegal Search and Seizure is Slavery, Willful Ignorance is Strength,\nMy Big Brother Will Protect Me\nAndy Singer. Check it out.\nSpeaking of Sex 'n' Gender 'n' Stuff:\nCheck out the company we're keeping, UN-wise.\nMy American-Idol-Related Anguish\nSo Johnny Quest's brother is a kind of techie on this show called American Idol. So that means that his parents are convinced that we should watch it to see his name at the end. So that means I've had to watch like three episodes of that damn show. And last night I had just bought Battlestar Galactica season 2.0.\nMan, that show is mean-spirited as hell. I can't believe how awful they are to people. Is it supposed to become o.k. to be cruel so long as a bunch of people are watching? And why are people watching this? Is it the train-wreck-like aspect of the thing? And what's with all the making fun of people for their weight, or for their awkwardness, or for their gender? That's some #*@%*&-up $#!# right there.\n(Incidentally, 'gender' doesn't mean 'sex.' Why did people start misusing that term? The gender distinction is masculine/feminine, not male/female. The male/female distinction is a distinction between sexes. So e.g. a feminine-acting man has a sex (male) and a gender (feminine) that don't match up in the ordinary way. Anyway, so much for Hollywood's liberalism.)\nSo why post about it?\nBecause if I have to suffer, you have to suffer. That's why.\nAnyway, I think I've done my duty. Three hours of that show is more than enough. Fortunately, JQ agrees. I think she can stand about one more episode herself.\nDid the GOP write OBL's Talking Points?\nTed at CT reminds us of this 2002 letter from OBL. He sounds one helluva lot more like Rick Santorum than he does like Michael Moore. My favorite part is that in which he admonishes us for not punishing Clinton for his fornication.\nI can't believe I don't remember having seen this letter before. After 9/11 I got in many arguments with people both to the left and right of me about OBL's motives. My line was that he seemed to be motivated in part by hatred of our policies and in part by hatred of liberalism and modernism. I had friends on the right who seemed to think that any admission that our policies were motivating him was tantamount to treason--and friends on the left who steadfastly refused to admit that he was motivated by an opposition to liberalism or modernity. But it does seem like it's both.\nPentagon Report: Army Stretched Too Thin\nWell, this rather narrows our strategic options. So much for the myth of American military invincibility.\nDamn, you want to talk about your useful myths. Too bad this one lasted only about ten years...\nLet us remember this when--if the situation goes from worse to worser--conservatives begin asserting that things only went South because liberals stabbed America in the back by failing to slavishly support our stalwart Commander-in-Chief.\nI don't see how we have any choice but to now undertake to rebuild our military. I hope that's included in the $2 trillion price tag... Remember when we were unpatriotic for questioning those $100 billion estimates? Are we still unpatriotic for that? Or has the Ministry of Truth redacted the relevant material?\nShould We Unite Behind This (Divisive) President?\nSince 9/11 it's been common for people--mostly conservatives--to say (and sometimes insist) that liberals should unite behind Bush for the sake of our efforts against terrorism. I am not immune to such calls. Despite my disgust at the actions of Republicans during the (non-)recount of 2000, I did, in fact, do my very best to get behind the president after 9/11, and I stayed more or less behind him until the deceptions about Iraq became intolerable.\nDifficult issues arise here, but I just want to focus on one of them. It's true that there are good reasons to seek some kind of political unity--perhaps always but at least especially now. However conservative calls for unity ring hollow given certain crucial facts. First, calls for unity lose force when the president is so intentionally divisive. Given his intentional divisiveness and extreme partisanship, his demonizing of his opponents, and his tendency to question the patriotism of his critics, his calls for unity seem insincere at best. Since this administration has not only done nothing to create unity but, in fact, gone out of its way to destroy it, it is unclear why we should take their calls for unity seriously.\nSecond, conservatives could have helped to unify the country by rejecting Bush's bid for re-election. Kerry would obviously be a much less divisive figure than Bush, the most polarizing president in recent memory. Conservatives did not, however, take this route. Consequently, we should, apparently, conclude that they believe that unity is less important than advancing their political agenda. So, again, it is not clear that we should take their calls for unity seriously. They backed their candidate and would, no doubt, have criticized his policies harshly had he won. It is not clear why we are obliged to act differently. In fact (given the nature of the last two elections and the events of the Clinton administration) we have excellent reason to believe that conservatives would criticize a Democratic president more harshly than we have criticized Bush, almost no matter what that hypothetical Democratic president's policies were like.\nFinally, if the Bush administration really believes that unity is vitally important, it can easily achieve this by taking a few reasonable steps it should have taken anyway. It can compromise with liberals and Democrats, stop questioning the patriotism of those who disagree with its policies, stop the expansion of executive power, and end polarizing policies such as that of torturing prisoners. The president could also, for example, seek a more moderate appointee for the Supreme Court. His failure to take any of these steps indicates that his calls for unity are, in fact, merely calls to let him have his way.\nIf the president himself took even a few steps towards compromise and unity, his political opponents might be inclined to take him more seriously, view him more favorably, and do likewise. His refusal to do so, however, reveals that he himself views advancing his domestic political agenda to be more important than national unity in the face of terrorist threats. It is unclear why his political opponents are not entitled to similar views.\nFilibuster Alito\nLooks like Alito is on his way to confirmation. Because of his views on executive power, and because of his refusal to give straight answers about important issues, I'm currently inclined to think that the Dems should filibuster. I didn't keep up well enough with his answers about abortion to have anything like a well-informed opinion on that issue.\nI write the above not because I think my decidedly non-expert opinion on this should matter to anyone, but, rather, just to go on the record in case I turn out to be wrong about this and Alito turns out to be reasonable.\nOh, and for the same reason I say anything else around here--because it beats just yelling it at the tv.\nFilibustering probably won't work, but the right has practically siezed control of the judiciary over the past 12+ years, and this could be the last straw. As you may recall, Republicans refused to fill many judicial positions under Clinton, arguing that there were too many federal judges and hence no need to fill many of the vacant positions.. Then when Bush took office, they suddenly decided that the positions needed to be filled after all. That bunch, they do love them some double standards...\n(And don't, incidentally, forget about the Federalist Society--a conservative good-old-boy network in law schools that channels conservatives into judgeships.)\nI have nothing against a reasonable number of reasonably conservative judges, and even have some inclination to be sympathetic to original intent arguments. But given that Bush is currently trying to grab inordinate power for the executive, and given the fact that SCOTUS seems in danger of leaning far, far to the right with this appointment, I hope the Dems will at least force the Republicans to exercise the nuclear option.\nUnfortunately, I expect a filibuster to backfire, since most Americans don't know anything about Alito beyond the fact that his wife cried during the hearings. But, then, I expect the Democrats to lose basically every political battle. They've got nothing in their arsenal that can effectively combat flag-waving, Bible-thumping, and fear-mongering. So if you're going to lose anyway, you might as well lose doing the right thing.\n[Note: I think you should do the right thing without much consideration of whether you'll win or lose; but I don't think the Dems think that.]\nThe Bruin Alumni Association: Lefty Prof Hunt\nYou've probably already heard of the Bruin Alumni Association and its bounty on tapes of lectures containing putative lefty bias. Dunno what to say about this. On the one hand, I have some reason to believe that there are, in fact, many lefty profs who engage in unwarranted political proselytism in class. On the other hand, I haven't seen any real data on this. And given the right's fabrication/exaggeration of liberal media bias, I'm rather wary with regard to their whining about such bias in academia. However, if I had to bet money on it, I'd bet they have a point.\nSeems like profs have intellectual property rights re: their lectures, so they probably can't be taped without permission. You probably realize that the convention is to ask the prof's permission before taping. I encourage students not to tape, because the very idea of my incoherent drivel persisting through time is enough to panic me. But I try never to say anything in class that I wouldn't say out of class. Students are a captive audience and should not be subjected to political sermons. They're there to hear what I have to say about philosophy, a subject about which I can plausibly be characterized as something of an expert; they're not there to here my amateurish political musings. (They can come to this site if they want that. (Not that they know it exists.)) However, profs shouldn't use intellectual property rights as an excuse to avoid taping unless that's their real reason.\nAnyway, if I had to bet money, I'd bet that groups like the BAA (a) are assholes and (b) have a point. Even assholes are right some of the time. It annoys the hell out of me that many liberals won't take questions about liberal bias in the academy more seriously. I thought we were against all bias. I should note, however, that many of the sensible liberals I know in academia are, in fact, willing to take the issue seriously. Problem is, I also know plenty of academic liberals who aren't. The sane thing to do would be for those on all sides of the debate to note that it's an open question at this point, and to put some effort into figuring out how to answer it. What will happen instead, of course, is that the conservative point men on this issue will insist that it's obviously a problem, producing the occasional egregious anecdote to \"prove\" their point, and academic liberals will respond by circling the wagons and ignoring the question.\nIn the immortal words of the Eagles, I could be wrong, but I'm not.\nChris Matthews: bin Laden sounds like Michael Moore\nWell, the fewmets have hit the windmill over that.\nI...uh... See, I think this is one of the reasons why I'm not a good lefty. I'm not outraged easily enough. I didn't hear Matthews's assertion, but I have to admit that when I heard the translations of the bin Laden tape I thought, roughly: ugh. Now the right is going to start harping on us sounding like bin Laden. The reason I thought that was that I, well, thought what he was saying sounded a bit like what some of us have been saying. E.g. Michael Moore.\nNow, I'm sort of a liberal and I thought that. So I'm not exactly sure why I'm supposed to be pissed off at Matthews for saying what I and many others were thinking. It doesn't mean that Moore et. al. are wrong and it doesn't mean that bin Laden is right, and it doesn't even mean that the two agree in any very substantial way, it just means that they happen to agree about a few things. Bush sucks. I think that and bin Laden thinks that. But we think that for very different reasons. We have virtually nothing in common.\n(I shouldn't have to make this clear, but just for the record: I think bin Laden sucks very, very, very much more than Bush sucks. Though I do sometimes think that Bush may, in the end, actually do more real harm to the world than bin Laden does.)\nBut hatred of Matthews is already common on lefty blogs. Encouragingly for Matthews, it also seems to be common on righty blogs. The righties fume about his lefty bias, the lefties fume about his righty bias; fair indication that he's doing something right. I kinda like Matthews actually, FWIW. I mean, he's not a genius, but for a talking head I think he's pretty good. He seems to call 'em as he sees 'em, he doesn't seem to automatically toe the line, and, if anything, he seems to me to be kind of a Democrat. (He was, I think, on Tip O'Neil's staff). Hardball isn't the place you go for quiet, in-depth discussions of the issues, but that's not what it's supposed to be.\nAnyway, coming out of someone else's mouth, this comment might have bothered me. If Cheney or Limbaugh or Colter had said it, I probably would have been pissed--because if one of those folks said it, they would undoubtedly be saying to in order to suggest something sinister about opponents of Bush's handling of the war. I suspect that Matthews wasn't suggesting anything similar, so it doesn't bother me. I could be wrong about Matthews's intentions, of course, but I doubt it.\nOh, and one more thing: if I end up turning conservative some day, it may very well be a result of reading liberal blogs.\nbin Laden's Latest\nJesus Christ I really, really, really hate this guy.\nThe content strongly suggests that the tape's fairly recent. He offers a truce...which I really wish we could accept, but--what with him being a mass murdering psycho responsibly for brutally murdering 3,000 American citizens--we can't. Stop me if you've heard this one, but if we'd have had a minimally competent president and had dusted this guy's sorry theocratic ass at Tora Bora we wouldn't still be dealing with this crap.\nPolitical predictions are easy here: the right will use this tape to indict the left for failing to fall into lock-step with the president, noting that our enemies are now using our dissent against us. (Note: check this prediction. If it's wrong I'll eat my words.)\nThey'll fail, however, to note that bin Laden is also using our own administration's dishonesty against us, e.g. by alluding to the Downing Street Memo. So that's awesome; it means we get abused by that stuff twice--once when Bush deceives us and then again when bin Laden uses that deceit for propaganda purposes. Jesus, it's like we're caught in no-man's land in a battle between a psychopathic theocrat and a lying, spoiled, dissolute rich kid playing at being president.\nOn the other hand, bin Laden says something that presupposes that he may think that the administration was right about the \"flypaper\" strategy in Iraq. Of course we can't believe anything that guy says, but there it is anyway.\nTreason, Traitors\nIt's rather alarming how common it is for righties to throw around the T word(s). Here's a recent, though rather trivial, example. (Via The News Blog, via Atrios.)\nBut, you know, the only two prominently political and certifiably traitorous traitors that I can think of are both not merely right-wing but right-wing heroes--namely Ollie [spelling corrected: duh] North and G. Gordon Liddy.\nBoth certifiably nuts, too. But that's a different story.\nMaybe so. Maybe even al Qaeda's main bomb expert. That'd be pretty sweet.\nThis makes some people look kinda dumb, even if, er, they weren't completely wrong...\nDigby: Conservatives Prepare to Eat Their Young\nPlus: Even If Norquist et. al. Get This One Right, They're Still Kooks\nPlus: Freepers, Creepers!\nAt Digby's digs.\nThe Medicare Mess\nI've been wondering how much of the current prescription drug fiasco is the fault of the administration. My usual line on this kind of thing is that governing is hard, so we shouldn't eagerly jump on every mistake. Rather, we should ask how hard it was to do, how well a competent administration could be expected to do, whether the administration in question should have known/done better, etc.\nHere's some evidence that the administration was warned that a mess was brewing.\nI don't expect 'em to get everything right...but it'd be nice if these guys got something right at some point before leaving office.\nPoll: Democrats, Republicans, and Military Intervention\nResults of a poll on military intervention .\nWhite House Refuses to Release Info about Meetings with Abramoff\nAt the AP, via Josh Marshall. First they said they'd reveal the info, now they say they won't.\nBut, gosh, these guys are so trustworthy...I say we just take their word for it that they didn't do anything wrong.\nCorrecting Your Own \"Side\"s Errors\nEugene Volokh via Mark Kleiman.\nDespite the fact that I'm about half libertarian (the civil half), I'm usually not that impressed with the Volokh Conspiracy. It's usually a little too PHIL101-y for my taste. Still, I have occasionally been impressed--FWIW--with their willingness to take sensible yet wildly unpopular positions from time to time.\nAnyway, there's nothing that great about the post I've linked to here, and certainly nothing new. But it's an important subject, and I just wanted to add that:\nTHE REAL PROBLEM HERE IS SEEING YOURSELF AS HAVING A SIDE.\nIf you really think that those with whom you tend to agree generally have reason on their side (and if you didn't think that why would you tend to agree with them?), then you should think that, when criticism is distributed as it ought to be, those with whom you tend to agree will come out ahead.\nVolokh's post and comments thereon make me think that I ought to think about the ACLU a bit more. I resisted joining for a number of years because of their (seemingly in-principle) anti-death penalty stance. And because the ACLU isn't really interested in protecting our constitutional rights per se--if they were, they'd defend the Second Amendment. But they don't. Anyway, my membership lapsed recently, and I have to decide whether to re-up.\nThough, speaking of libertarians: anybody know why so many libertarians tend to side with the Republicans? It's the Democrats who have been more willing to protect civil liberties, which are the ones you'd ordinarily think are more important. Republicans only agree with libertarians on certain economic matters, which one would think would be secondary. That is, you'd think that libertarians would care more about things like the separation of church and state, free speech (including flag burning), privacy and abortion rights. Sure, some libertarians are just crypto-conservatives, but even real libertarians of my acquaintance seem to be cozier with the GOP than seemed reasonable.\nText of Gore's Speech Today\nHere. (Via Atrios)\nBeautifully put, carefully reasoned, non-hyperbolic.\nIf all the votes had been counted--if we had taken to the streets to insist that all the votes be counted in the same numbers Republicans took to the streets to insist that they not be--this man would probably be our president. Remember what it was like to have an intelligent, knowledgeable, intellectually honest president? Seems like a distant dream these days...\nMeasuring Partisanship\nHere's one tiny little isolated and by-itself-almost-meaningless bit of data concerning changes in attitudes about domestic spying by Democrats and Republicans.\nIf we tracked enough such changes, we could get some idea how partisan Dems and Republicans are.\nPerhaps interestingly, the change discussed in the Pew survey is consistent with what I'd have guessed a priori: Democrats about 2/3 as partisan as Republicans.\nDrum on \"Equitable Subrogation\"\nWonk's wonk Kevin Drum on the GOP's latest team-up with big corporations to squash the little guy.\nGeorge F. Will: Ed Schools and the Fall of Western Civilization\nCan you tell that I'm house-sitting for someone who gets Newsweek? I've turned my nose up at that mag for twenty years, but it turns out that it's actually pretty good. I mean, it's no New Republic or anything, but that's not the niche it's striving to fill.\nAnyway, this George F. Will column elicited hearty \"amen\"s from me and from Johnny Quest. As is almost always the case in such analyses, Will picks out one pattern in a complex situation, but it's a very strong, important, influential pattern. Not every person in ed school is an air-headed fluffy-liberal spouting half-baked, hand-me-down postmodern hogwash...but a frighteningly large percentage of them seem to be.\nOne thing Will gets wrong, however, is this: he suggests that there's an emphasis on reasoning rather than knowledge in ed schools. As far as I can tell, neither of those things is emphasized in ed schools. I myself was an education major once. As the first person in my family to go to college I had never heard of graduate school, and hadn't even dreamed of teaching at a university. I dropped out of the ed program after about a semester. I went in to see my advisor about scheduling classes, presenting him with a tentative schedule that included an advanced course in formal logic, a philosophy of science class, a history of science class, and an American history course (that turned out to be one of my best classes ever) called Revolution and Early National Period with my all-time favorite history teacher (George Suggs, for the record). I still remember my advisor marking out three of the four classes and replacing them with classes on teaching method--classes that I'd been informed by other education majors were a tragic waste of the human spirit, mainly focusing on things like how to make a lively bulletin board.\nI walked out stunned, and it took me all of about 30 seconds to decide that my years-long dream of teaching highschool was not going to be realized. I even stood on the sidewalk and said, out loud, something like \"I don't know what I'm going to do, but I'm not doing that.\" Secondary education, that is. And this is a common complaint among and about education majors: they spend so much of their time on utterly worthless methods classes that they know very little about the subjects they are teaching. But as almost anyone who has taught will tell you, it's mastery of the material that is about 90% of the battle. Teaching per se is hard, but after awhile you figure out how to do it.\nThat experience was ultimately good for me, but, I believe, bad for secondary education. (As it turns out, there's significant evidence that I'm an unusually good teacher.)\nIn fact, I've never known a single education major who I repected intellectually who had very much at all good to say about undergraduate or even graduate education education. In fact, I'm not sure I've ever heard any of them talk about it without a lot of eye-rolling and head-shaking. Most smart people in that world realize there are big, big problems there. (For the record, I did meet someone once who held forth at length about how difficult it was to finish her Masters in education. Turns out she was having trouble with her thesis. Turns out that her thesis was--I'm not making this up--ten lesson plans. (For the record, my master's thesis was 97 pages of blood, sweat and tears on Kripke's interpretation of Wittgenstein's private language argument...))\nAnyway, that education schools need reform on several fronts is obvious to anyone who's had even passing experience with them. And it doesn't take a genius to see how important teacher education is. This is something we simply cannot afford to keep getting so very, very wrong.\nMy friend Peter the Public Defender convinced me a few years ago that the death penalty is a disaster as it is implemented in the U.S. Consequently, I'm now in favor of a long moratorium on it until we figure out whether it can be fixed. That is, I'm--somewhat reluctantly--against the death penalty in actual practice here and now.\nI tend to be at odds with most death penalty opponents, however, because so many of them seem to be against the death penalty in principle. Normative ethics isn't my area, and this is a particularly thorny problem, but--to cut to the chase--there is simply no doubt in my mind that some people have earned execution. Whoever tortured and killed the Harvey family in Richmond, for example. Even if flaws in the system force us to suspend executions, it is abundantly clear to me that some people deserve death, and, ideally, would get it.\nAmong the people I know, those who are against the death penalty have some tendency to be those who have no very direct experience with heinous crime. This is one of the points made recently in Newsweek by Olga Polities. Looking in from the outside, such people don't really seem to understand what they're talking about, don't really seem to understand the enormity of the crimes in question.\nThe flames of this debate will almost certainly be fanned when Saddam swings for his crimes. In this case there is no question that he is guilty of mass murder, so there are no practical or epistemic questions to get in the way. It'll be rather as if we'd caught Hitler in '45. It will be interesting to see how liberals react when this happens. I'd like to make a prediction, but I just don't have one. Will my fellow liberals recognize the justice of the sentence--or at least its plausibility? Such unsual cases are interesting because they often reveal hidden disagreements of a particularly deep and important kind. If significant numbers of liberals come out against execution for Saddam, this will suggest to me that my disagreements with contemporary liberalism may be more profound than I have suspected. And it will certainly suggest something similar to many other relatively centrist, relatively independent voters.\nLucky for al-Zawahiri That He's Not Number 3...\n...or he'd have been dead ten times by now. But it looks like we missed him again, and killed 18 civilians in the process. Oh, and pissed off Pakistan even more.\nI can't even think about this mess rationally anymore. Some on the right--including the administration--continue to insist that they did not make a mistake in diverting troops from Afghanistan to Iraq, thus allowing bin Laden and al-Zawahiri to excape from Tora Bora.\nTheir cover story evolved into: al Qaeda is a network, not a hierarchy, therefore the leaders don't matter. Even ignoring the apparent fallaciousness of this argument, their subsequent actions demonstrate that even the administration doesn't believe its own story. Bin Laden and al-Zawahiri are apparently important enough that we're willing to offer a total of $50 million in rewards for them, important enough for us to keep pursuing them, important enough to warrant our firing into Pakistan and important enough for us to send Predators firing nearly blind into houses, risking the lives of civilians.\nSo more than four years after they engineered brutal attacks on American soil, these guys are still running around. They've remained alive and kicking longer after 9/11 than Yamamoto did after Pearl Harbor--and it's not like they have the Japanese Empire protecting them.\nAs I've said before, it's hard to imagine any administration doing a worse job after 9/11 than the Bush administration has done.\nIs Alito a Republican Ideologue?\nThe answer's easy: we don't know. The answers I saw him give were consistent with two different theories:\n1. He's a very careful, procedure-oriented thinker\n2. He's a conservative ideologue using carefully-crafted linguistic legerdemain.\nIf it's the former, then he's o.k. with me. I don't have a problem with smart, honest, objective conservatives. But, as I've already said many times, I don't interpret the words of this administration or its cronies charitably anymore. So if I had a vote here it'd be a somewhat reluctant 'no.'\nAlthough I hope for 1, I'm expecting 2.\nWhat Should the Democrats Do? Become the Party of Principle\nSo, everybody's asking what the Democrats should do. They lack a cohesive message, they're divided over Iraq, they--as usual--seem rudderless.\nAs for their division over Iraq strategy, I've got nothing. But I will say that their confusion is a good sign. Any rational, well-informed person should be confused about that.\nAs for the other stuff, here's a suggestion: truly become the party of principle (a phrase Kerry and Edwards seemed to toy with a bit back in '04). Resolve--loudly--to become a truly principled, squeaky-clean political party. Institute their own rules about campaign financing and lobbyists that are rational and ostentatiously more strenuous than the law.\nIn short, become what they ought to have been all along.\nFor most of my lifetime the Democrats have eaked out a niche as the least corrupt, least objectionable, least rotten of the political parties. (For the while-I-was-a-baby part of my life, they were apparently the more corrupt of the two.) Maybe it's time to aspire to something greater than that.\nThe Democrats will never be able to be more rotten than the current bunch in charge of the Republican party--and that's to their credit. You can't beat those guys at hardball--nor should you try. Currently the Dems seem to but just rotten enough to make it plausible to characterize them as being in the same ballpark as the Republicans. Many big corporations, for example, give the Dems about half what they give the Republicans. This system keeps the Democrats from ever really gaining control--they can't collect as much money as the Republicans, but they can't truly be seen as differing from them in kind, either.\nSo, since the current strategy can't work, and the get-meaner-than-them strategy is both reprehensible and doomed to failure, maybe the Democrats should break down and actually become the good guys.\nUm, is the most important thing that emerged in the Alito hearings really that his wife started to cry? I find this a bit hard to believe, but that's what was getting most of the airtime on CNN etc. I didn't see that part of the proceedings, so I don't know what was going on. Perhaps the Dems were being truly vicious and/or unfair...but in that case it should have been the viciousness or unfairness that was the story.\nAnyway, my heart sank this morning when I heard one of the talking heads say that the buzz was that \"Mrs. Alito's\" weeping was going to cinch the deal for him. Call me crazy, but this just doesn't strike me as a good reason for putting someone on the SCOTUS.\nThe Bush Administration and Judgment Under Uncertainty\nOne great thing about being a professor is the flexibility. Most weeks there are only about 15 hours when I have to be on campus doing something. Of course I'm always around more than that and, like most responsible profs, spend a preposterous amount of time working at home. But, anyway, I enjoy the flexibility. And that flexibility allows me to do things like watch lots more of the Alito hearings than about 99% of the electorate. Which I've been doing.\nThing is, I still haven't been able to watch enough of them to form anything like a trustworthy opinion about what's going on. I just can't tell. The Democrats, as usual, seem to be coming off pretty bad. Sometimes they seem to have only two modes, passive and shrill.\nAt any rate, I haven't yet heard Alito say anything that clearly rules him out. Five years ago that would have been good enough for me.\nBut not anymore. One thing we've learned the hard way is that we can't trust this administration or their agents and cohorts to be straight with us. The there-are-no-plans-to-invade-Iraq-on-my-desk incident put the exclamation point on that conclusion.\nWhat we've learned, in brief, is that we have to expect that this administration is actively trying to trick us whenever that's to their advantage. What that means is that we can't give them the benefit of the doubt and, in particular, can't interpret their words in the way we'd interpret the words of those we can trust.\nTherefore, Alito's \"no one is above the law\" response to questions about presidential power is not good enough, given the fact that this response is consistent with a preposterously expansive view of presidential power. Democrats--and Republicans--should insist that Alito say something specific about his views on the limitations of presidential power, and show him the door if those answers indicate that he'd support the imperial presidency.\nIf specific--and reasonable--answers are not given to such questions, I'll be opposed to Alito's confirmation.\nEr, for what that's worth.\nWhich, for those of you keeping score, is exactly nothing.\nKleiman on Our Choice of Republican Crooks\nRich Lowrey Admits that the Abramoff Scandal is a Republican One\nIn fact, you should just read Kevin Drum and Mark Kleiman. What the hell are you doing slumming around this place?\nDrum on Bremer on Rumsfeld\nStill more evidence that Rumsfeld and company refused to commit enough troops to Iraq to do the job properly. Non-conclusive, but it coheres with other things we know, so the smart money is currently on this conclusion.\nThe K Street Project and Vast Differences in Degree\nMy parents are political independents, and staunchly so. They raised me to be an independent, frequently repeating the \"vote for the man, not for the party\" mantra. Though my sympathies currently lie firmly with the Democrats, and though I frequently work for them on campaigns, I really don't consider myself one. I vote for Republicans on the rare occasion when I find one who's better than the competing Democrat, and no one would be happier than me if the Republicans suddenly became a more reasonable than the Democrats.\nAt any rate, there's an important sense in which I consider myself an independent. But there's an inclination that I often find among independents--my parents for example--that is pernicious. Specifically, the inclination to automatically conclude and assert that the two parties are equally bad. \"They ain't one of 'em that's worth a shit--they're all crooks,\" my dad's often said to me. That's Missouri for \"a pox on both their houses.\"\nProblem is, this isn't true. There was a time when the Democrats were the more dishonest of the two parties. But the time of Tammany Hall is long past. There is simply no doubt that the Republicans are currently the more dishonst, power-hungry, and uscrupulous of the two parties. There is no difference in kind between the two parties, of course--both contain honest and intelligent statesmen, both contain vile and venal politicians. But there is currently a vast difference in degree.\nCase in point: The K Street Project, which I consider a far bigger threat to American democracy than Osama bin Laden and his lunatic entourage.\nIndependents have an inclination, I think, to argue like so: there's no difference in kind between the Republicans and the Democrats, so there's no reason to prefer one to the other. But this argument is fallacious. The absence of a difference in kind does not entail the absence of a real and important difference, a significant difference in degree. There's no difference in kind between a fresh apple and a rotting one, but that doesn't mean that there's no reason to prefer one to the other. Yes, there's good and bad in the Democrats and there's good and bad in the Republicans, but--right now, though not forever--the proportion of good to bad in the two parties is vastly different. Democrats are too snug with lobbyists and too beholden to big business--but it took Republicans to institutionalize the corruption and turn the system into a well-oiled machine for eroding the barriers between government and special interests.\nDecrying both parties becomes almost a verbal tic with some independents. It's very important that we help such folk realize that, while both houses may deserve some kind of pox, one deserves far more of it than the other.\n[Mark Kleiman adds his $0.02.]\nStill Insisting that Reporting on Unwarranted Domestic Spying Endangered America\nSee, because if you just repeat something over and over and over and over again, it becomes true!\nYou all in the reality-based community are probably still asking people to explain how it endangers us, and asking for reasons in support of the claim and all that crazy kinda stuff.\nBut Jack Shafer and Glenn Reynolds have transcended such petty concerns.\nWell, it was fun while it lasted. Too bad so many of us turned out to be cowards who don't really care that much about the Bill of Rights.\nI think I'm starting to understand how people must have felt in Germany in '32...\nNo One Is Above The Law?\nHere's a scary thought that I first heard from Jeffrey Rosen on NPR tonight.\nIf Alito thinks that the president has the power to, in effect, determine what is and isn't law then both of the following would be true:\n(a) The president is not above the law\n(b) The president can do whatever he wants\nIf this view of executive power were true, then the president's power would be unlimited (or virtually so) even though he would, technically speaking, not be \"above the law.\" What we really want to know is how expansive Alito thinks presidential power is, and someone needs to ask him that question and not let him get away with \"no one is above the law.\"\nI wasn't so obsessive about such things before Bush said \"there are no plans to invade Iraq on my desk.\" But now we know we can't cut them any slack or give them the benefit of any doubt.\nAlito Confirmation Hearings 1\nWas able to catch a couple of hours of the Alito hearings this morning.\nBrief summary of my tentative initial judgments, just to get the ball rolling:\n1. Alito came off as being rather more reasonable than I'd come to expect he would. Liberals may have hurt themselves a bit by building him up to be a complete nut. (But I don't take such impressions very seriously.)\n2. I've got a good bit of respect for Specter. I thought he did a good job as chair and liked his performance during his 30-minute question period, though he didn't give Alito enough time to give detailed answers.\n3. Leahy's questions were strong, and he turned up the first really worrisome problem: Alito wasn't willing to come down strongly enough against presidential abuse of power.\n4. Kennedy and Hatch came across as partisan hacks. Hatch didn't even ask real questions, he just conducted a 30-minute pro-Alito commercial. However he did give Alito an opportunity to put the Vanguard ethics charges to rest to my satisfaction. I'm inclined to consider that a non-issue now.\nFWIW, here's my current attitude about this stuff:\nA. Ethics charges re: non-recusal during Vanguard-related case: bogus.\nB. His stance on presidential power:\nB1. Overall: tentatively alarming\nB2. Re: the stuff about the \"Unified Executive\": seems less bad than I thought.\nC. Membership in Concerned Alumni of Princeton: weird. He has a semi--but only semi--plausible explanation.\nI'm worried about his stance on abortion, but currently most alarmed about an unfettered and unscrupulous executive branch running amok in the country and the world. At a different time, I might actually be inclined to be mildly pro-Alito at this point. But not now. To be in favor of him I think I'm going to have to hear him say something more convincing and reasonable on this subject.\nConservative Defense of the Current Republican Leadership: Mere Partisanship? Or Something Truly Frightening?\nThis is just a brief, preliminary version of a real post, but I've been worrying about this lately and wanted to get the idea out.\nFor a long time I took it for granted that conservatives were just being partisan when they defended Republican actions in the recount debacle of 2000, defended the divisiveness that has been the hallmark of this administration from the beginning, defended its pre- and post-9/11 incompetence, defended its loss of bin Laden at Tora Bora, defended its incompetence and dishonesty concerning the invasion of Iraq, defended Tom DeLay, the K Street project, and the associated culture of corruption...\nBut then I started to worry that there may be something much, much more frightening going on here:\nMaybe American conservatives are being honest.\nThat is: maybe they really do think that this is what counts as governing well.\nMaybe this really is what they consider the right way to do things; maybe it really is the way they plan to do things in the future whenever they are put in power.\nIt's bad enough if they're just being dishonest and partisan about all this. But the other alternative is the one that'll really keep you up at night.\nP-Noony: Republican Corruption Proves that...\nRepublicans are right!\nThe height of human irrationality is the refusal to admit when you're wrong. And God is it ever on parade big time on the right these days.\nFunny as it is to see Nooners & co. grasping frantically at straws, I have to admit some sympathy for a distant cousin of this argument. I have serious reservations about big government in part because I realize that conservatives will often be in charge of it...\nIn fact conservatives aren't really in favor of restraining government power and we shouldn't let them continue to pretend that they are. They like it just fine when the gub'ment gets to tell us how we can have sex and who with, what we can ingest and inhale, how/whether to worship something/someone, etc. They just don't like it poking around in our pocketbooks. I have some sympathy for them there, but consider the former stuff to be more important than money.\nI eagerly anticipate future arguments to the effect, e.g., that Bush's dishonesty and incompetence prove that he was a wiser choice than Kerry, and that Republican corruption proves that it is imperative for us to allow them to maintain control of Congress...\nCRS: Bush's Domestic Spying Probably Illegal\nWish I had the time/expertise to go through the arguments in detail.\nShorter George W. Bush:\nPost hoc, ergo propter hoc.\nThere is a distinction between truths and facts, but it isn't anything like what these folks--to the extent that I can tell what the heck they are trying to say--seem to think it is.\nIs Right-Wing Fear-Mongering Turning Us Into Cowards?\nOr: America duToitified\nI've been toying with the idea of writing something like this for a long time, but Glenn Greenwald nails it. The main point: conservative fear-mongering re: terrorism has made us look like--and possibly actually made us into--a country of panty-waists.\n9/11 was a horrific thing, but it doesn't warrant the kind of obsession and panic that the right has manufactured. If 9/11 really scares Bush & co. this much, then they'd evaporate in a puff of cowardice if they had to spend one day in the Iraqi Red Zone.\nI just can't understand how a group of people who are always going on about how macho they are can be such chickenshits.\nOf course there is another explanation for the fearmongering...\nBush's Bipartisan Sham\nSo, five years into his disastrous presidency, Bush deigns to talk to a group containing people who diagree with him. For ten minutes.\nI suppose you don't need me to tell you how absurd this is. Incestuous amplification has been one of the most powerful and destructive forces driving this administration since the beginning. I was astounded when I heard reports that he'd held this meeting, then astounded that I could be astounded by such a thing. Then I heard that the participants had been allowed to speak for 5-10 minutes and figured that they must have meant 5-10 minutes each...but apparently it was 5-10 minutes total.\nEven now, deeply into the most disastrous and disastrously isolated presidency of modern times, these people aren't willing to consider the possibility that they might be wrong about anything. The closest they can come to listening to dissenting opinions is a photo op. They still see every problem as a PR problem; thus the \"solution\" never requires them to learn more or admit error, it just requires them to persuade others to agree with them.\nThe press and the public and the Democrats should be ridiculing this sham mercilessly.\nI'm not exaggerating when I say that I can't find the words to express my contempt for all this.\nGlobal Warming, Terrorism, and Risk Tolerance\nCrooked Timber says that the global warming debate is over. Is it? What do I look like, the Shell Answer Man? (Actually, the Shell Answer Man would probably assess the situation rather differently than I might...) All I do on this one is wait around for the experts to output an answer. But according to CT, that answer has been outputted.\nAnyway, long ago somebody posted a comment here noting how bizzarre it is that the Administration is frantically risk-averse with regard to terrorism but almost entirely unphased by the threat of global warming (which, as said comment-poster noted, would make an atom bomb going off in Manhattan look \"like a pin-prick.\").\nSo why the double-standard? The answers that come readily to mind are pretty depressing.\nBut here's something weird, and I wonder whether this figures in in any way: ever notice that when there's an explosion or some other disaster many folks seem to, first, worry that it was terrorism and then, later, breathe a sigh of relief when it turns out not to be? I mean, if a chemical plant explodes and ten people are killed, then, well, ten people are killed. Whether it's terrorism or an accident seems more or less irrelevant, doesn't it? Yet I get the feeling that if it turns out to be terrorism people will transition from quiet concern to running around and screaming, and transition with fair rapidity. So what gives?\nI have a feeling that I'm thinking about this wrong/missing something obvious here, but can't quite figure out what it is.\nSeveral Cheers for Mr. Brooks\nI don't get Times Select, but via Atrios we get this synopsis of David Brooks on Republican corruption. Since I can't read the whole thing, I don't know how many cheers Brooks deserves exactly, but it's heartening to see that influential conservatives are getting on the Abramoff scandal.\nOh, and note to Atrios: don't call him 'Bobo' when he's doing the right thing.\nStuff + Kleiman on Gingrich on the Republican Kleptocracy\nStill travelling/got a cold/tired and cranky/posting will be light.\nBig thanks, BTW, to Statisticasaurus Rex and Canis Major for putting us up in DC and Charlottesville, respectively. Today we're off to Johnny Quest's parental units' digs, where tomorrow we'll celebrate the \"real\" (i.e. Greek Orthodox) Christmas.\n(And to friends in either of the aforementioned places we didn't get in touch with/crash with: be ye not angry: 'twas a whirl-wind tour.)\nBrain no work so good of late, so no thoughts more sophisticated than \"Bush bad man\"...but I think I may have regaled you with that one before. Basically I walk around anymore with one of those cartoon black clouds over my head, muttering things like \"Hell in a handbasket!\" under my breath. In three years I'll probably be certifiable.\nBut anyway, here's a link to Mark Kleiman giving us some excerpts from a Dana Milbank report on a Newt Gingrich speech on the current Republican kleptocracy. All I have to add is: when I'm agreeing with Newt Gingrich, it's strange days indeed.\nFISC Wants to Know Whether Possibly-Illegal Wiretap Info Was Used to Get Warrants\nWonder whether some truly dangerous folks could ultimately be released because of this? Bush & co. could end up being the dirty cops that blow the case by failing to stick to procedure.\nWhat, pray tell, else could these guys possibly do wrong? Aren't they running out of ways to screw things up yet?\nDo Liberals Underestimate the Badness of Saddam?\nO.k., LC, Rilkefan, the Funkmeister, and others of you guys have been on my back about offering \"proof\" of my \"claim\" that liberals tend to underestimate the badness of Saddam. You people in the reality-based community, with your \"facts\" and \"reason\" and \"scientific method\" make me sick.\nStill, I'll humor you.\nBut seriously, it seems like the thing to do here is to step back and ask some prior questions (note: this move is sometimes used to muddy the waters in order to protect a claim from refutation. That's not what I'm doing here.).\nFirst, what the heck did I mean when I made the relevant claim--that claim being, again:\n(LUS) Many liberals underestimate the badness of Saddam Hussein\nSecond--and relatedly: what would count as evidence for and evidence against (LUS)?\nI'm going to throw out some quick thoughts, and maybe you'll have some, too.\nA. I don't exactly expect to find a lot of liberals saying \"I love Saddam!\" or \"Gee, that Saddam certainly is misunderstood.\" If we did find those things, of course, that would constitute evidence for (LUS). But I'd be surprised if we found much of that kind of thing.\nB. Finding a lot of liberals saying \"Gosh, that Saddam is evil and I hate him\"--or things to that effect--would count against my thesis in a decided way.\nC. I guess what I expect to find most is passing references to Saddam's badness, after which the authors go on to change the subject, especially if the subject is changed to the badness of Bush.\nThat's where things get tricky. Some such passages will have the effect of minimizing Saddam's badness and some won't, so there we'll have to go case-by-case, right?\nOne complicating factor: take me as an example. I think my credentials as a Saddam-hater are well-established, yet I spend way more time bashing Bush than Saddam. So why's that? I have a hypothesis, but I'll let you think about it first if you care to.\nAnyway, much of the above may be wrong, but the general strategy seems sound to me: we need to figure out what would count as confirmation and disconfirmation of (LUS) before we get down to he nitty-gritty of actually evaluating its truth-value.\nHow Did Revelations About Domestic Spying Help Terrorists?\nI know I've been harping on this (most recently here), and I'm not going to just keep repeating myself...but just thought I'd point out that Atrios is on this now, issuing a challenge to pro-Bush dead-enders to explain how the NYT revelations about domestic spying harmed our anti-terrorism efforts.\nAnswer, as I've noted: it didn't, not even a little bit.\nIt's really, really wrong to misuse national defense arguments in this way--for political ends, that is. But I suppose we should be used to it by now.\nRightosphere Abramoff Talking Points Are Out!\nMichelle Malkin via Insty. In a nutshell:\n1. It's a bipartisan scandal!\n2. This all started back when the Democrats used to do it.\nBoth might be true, I dunno. MM quotes the Christian Science Monitor saying that Republicans got 64% of the flithy lucre, so that does, indeed, seem to vindicate the claim. Ah, bipartisanship at last!\nBut you don't need me to tell you that it's more complicated than that. Apparently Republicans got 100% of the money that actually came from Abramoff, whereas Democrats merely took money from his clients. Nothing wrong with that so long as there was nothing like a quid pro quo involved, right? Still looks bad, but I expect there will be no Democratic analog of DeLay and Ney.\nThis is a real test for the Republican party. Will they finally start owning up to their own recent mistakes and abuse of power? If they did so there might be some chance of me voting for one of them again sometime in the next decade. My guess, however, is that it'll be dissembling and denial all the way down. I sincerely hope the GOP proves me wrong.\nAnd P.S. what is it with that Michelle Malkin? She's beyond lightweight...more like negative weight. Why the heck is she (quasi-)famous? I don't get it.\nLeft and Right: Looking to Other Places and Looking to Other Times\nIt seems safe to assert--painting with a rather broad brush here--that the right has an inclination to view the past with a certain kind of reverence whereas the left has some tendency to view other (contemporaneous) cultures with a roughly similar kind of reverence. For example, when push comes to shove, the right often falls back on assertions about our own traditions, whereas the left tends to fall back on assertions about how things are done elsewhere. (Again, it's more complicated than this, but I've been trying to get this germ of an idea out for quite awhile, and I'd rather get it out initially and imperfectly than not get it out at all.)\nSo the obvious question is: why is this? I used to have contempt for both types of arguments, but now both seem rather less crazy to me--though both types of appeals are very, very weak. Burkean conservatives apparently think that our own traditions are the outputs of long centuries of informal experimentation and, ergo, carry some epistemic and moral weight. That's not crazy, but the point seems to apply to the traditions of other cultures, too. So, it seems, if our own traditions deserve a certain degree of respect, so do the traditions of other cultures. We can run a similar point about the leftish position, but I'll make that point by reminding you of the quip that an anthropologist (most of whom are denizens of the intellectual left) is someone who respects every culture but his own...\nSo to the extent that I have a question here it's this: is there any way to sustain either the rightish position (considerable respect for our own traditional ways of doing things, little respect for the ways of others) or the leftish position (considerable respect for other ways of doing things, little respect for our own traditional ways)?\nThere'll be devils in the details here, but on the face of it one should expect these positions to stand or fall together.\nPhilosoraptor Featured on Salon.com's Daou Report\nHey, today we were the featured blog on the Daou report. Sadly, of course, my posting has been sparse and slap-dash of late, and our discussions less genial than normal. Ah well, such is life.\nCivil Civic Discourse and the Orange Band Initiative\nI've posted before about the Orange Band Initiative. It's an organization that seeks to foster civil, informative, scrupulously non-partisan public discussions of issues of local, national, and international interest. Orange Band was started entirely by students at James Madison University, and they've done a really outstanding job so far. The organization has started spreading to other campuses, and one of their public forums (a panel discussion by JMU students who had returned from military service in Iraq) was even broadcast on C-SPAN.\nOrange Band works. These projects, panels, and public discussions really get students talking, and get them interested in policy. And the Orange Band crew is scrupulously objective and non-partisan. I was around this group for years before I could even tell what their personal political beliefs were like. And if the group gets out of balance one way or another, they actively seek new members from other parts of the political spectrum\nAs you may have ascertained, I'm going to urge you to cough up some dough. This is a great organization, and they've brought in a bit of grant money, but the folks keeping this thing going have graduated now, and they've had to take on real jobs, too. Without at least a trickle of funding, Orange Band is going to start to fizzle out.\nThis is where you come in. Even a few bucks would be significant at this point, so if you can spare a little, please do think about donating to them. The ideas motivating Orange Band are timely and important, and it'd be a real tragedy if such a promising organization died out in its infancy.\n[In the interest of full disclosure, let me note that I'm an advisor to the group. Needless to say, I don't get any money--or anything else for that matter--from them. I just believe in their mission.]\nWords of Wisdom from Crazy Fred: On Intellectual Conscience\nSection 2 from The Gay Science, one of my faves:\n\"The intellectual conscience\nI keep having the same experience and keep resisting it every time. I do not want to believe it although it is palpable: the great majority of people lack an intellectual conscience. Indeed, it has often seemed to me as if anyone calling for an intellectual conscience were as lonely in the most densely populated cities as if he were in a desert. Everybody looks at you with strange eyes and goes right on handling his scales, calling this good and that evil. Nobody even blushes when you intimate that their weights are underweight; nor do people feel outraged; they merely laugh at your doubts. I mean: the great majority of people does not consider it contemptible to believe this or that and to live accordingly, without first having given themselves an account of the final and most certain reasons pro and con, and without even troubling themselves about such reasons afterward: the most gifted men and the noblest women still belong to this \"great majority.\" But what is goodheartedness, refinement, or genius to me, when the person who has these virtues tolerates slack feelings in his faith and judgments and when he does not account the desire for certainty as his inmost craving and deepest distress\u2014as that which separates the higher human beings from the lower.\nAmong some pious people I have found a hatred of reason and was well disposed to them for that; for this at least betrayed their bad intellectual conscience. But to stand in the midst of this rerum concordia discors [Discordant concord of things: Horace, Epistles, I.12.19.] and of this whole marvelous uncertainty and rich ambiguity of existence without questioning, without trembling with the craving and the rapture of such questioning, without at least hating the person who questions, perhaps even finding him faintly amusing\u2014that is what I feel to be contemptible, and this is the feeling for which I look first in everybody. Some folly keeps persuading me that every human being has this feeling, simply because he is human. This is my sense of injustice.\"\nIt's the first paragraph that really gets me. The second one...well, there's a point there, but you know Nietzsche--hyperbole and poetic license tend to get the better of him as often as not.\nAt any rate: imagine a world in which the intellectual conscience was more common and more powerful.\nAnd imagine what would happen if such a conscience took hold suddenly and right now. How many of our current leaders could survive such an event? How many of us would look on our past actions and assertions with unbearable shame?",

        "raw_content": "You are here: Projects\u00bb Modeling\u00bb Macroscopic simulations\nIn space phenomena and in laboratory experiments plasmas are usually non-stationary and non-uniform. Chemical composition may be rather complicated and the distribution of atoms over ionization degrees and quantum states is usually non-equilibrium. Moreover, the velocity distribution of free particles may be also non-equilibrium, i.e. non-Maxwellian. Our model, designed for spectroscopy of such complicated plasmas, is as follows.\nPlasmas are approximated by means of the 3D sequence of Lagrangian cells affected by collective radiation field and the radiation of external sources (lasers, backlighters, hot surfaces, or external plasmas). The external radiation is included in the boundary condition to the equation of radiative transfer, which is integrated self-consistently with non-stationary collisional-radiative rate equations for each cell. During the integration, besides a computation of space-average direction-average intensity of radiation in each cell (needed for computation of probabilities of photoinduced transitions) the code simulates signals of spectroscopic equipment (spectrometers, PCDs, bolometers, pinhole cameras, etc.) in particular experiment.\nThe code has three operation modes. In most general mode the code operates as atomic-kinetics and radiative-transfer subroutines of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) code. However, in this mode the computations last for months and we performed them only once for 2D simulation of gas-puff z-pinch. In the second mode the code operates as a post-processor of MHD code. In the third, most simple, mode plasma of interest is approximated by a few cells, which follow prescribed scenario. This scenario may be a simplified version of MHD simulation or some idea to be checked quickly.\nPrevious page: Computer simulations\nNext page: Atomic data",

        "raw_content": "Uninsured Services: Billing and Block Fees \u2013 Update: Policy Approved\nThe College\u2019s Uninsured Services: Billing and Block Fees policy received final approval from Council on November 30, 2017, and is now an official policy of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario.\nFeedback was primarily submitted by physicians, but we also heard from members of the public, other health-care professionals, and a few organizations including Canadian Doctors for Medicare, FAIR Association, Ontario Medical Association, Ontario Medical Association Sections on Sport & Exercise Medicine, and Ontario Medical Association Section on Respiratory Disease.\nGenerally speaking, feedback was polarized. Many respondents, including both physicians and physician organizations, were supportive of the draft policy and recommended taking a more firm stance on key issues. In contrast, some physicians felt that the draft policy would compel them to work for free.\nNotwithstanding this, a strong majority of respondents felt that the draft policy was clearly written and easy to understand and agreed with new expectations pertaining to, for example, educating patients about uninsured services, billing for missed appointments, and how block fees are offered.\nSubstantive and constructive feedback was provided on a number of issues. The follow are representative of the comments received:\nThe draft policy should more clearly allow for office staff to assist in educating and informing patients about fees for uninsured services;\nConcerns were raised about physicians\u2019 ability to assess their patients\u2019 ability to pay a fee and with the embarrassment that patients may feel if they must self-identify as being in need; and\nRecommendations that the draft policy more comprehensively address issues that arise when insured services are bundled with uninsured services or when uninsured services are offered as an alternative to insured services.\nPolicies and guidelines of other organizations, including other the Canadian Medical Association, the Ontario Medical Association, and other Canadian medical regulators.\nA broad literature review, that included a review of patient experiences when being offered a block fee or when asked to pay for uninsured services, and potential billing issues such as extra-billing and payment for preferential access to care.\nThe revised policy retains the key content and central principles of the previous policy, but a number of revisions and additions were made in response to the feedback obtained and research undertaken.\nSome specific examples of revisions undertaken are set out below.\nThe policy now includes an Executive Summary outlining key topics and expectations.\nFeedback from internal and external stakeholders indicated that the length and complexity of College policies can sometimes make utilizing and navigating them difficult.\nThe policy includes new language recognizing that patients paying for uninsured services are reliant on the honesty and integrity of their physician.\nPayment for uninsured services is not subject to the same external monitoring as insured services. As such, patients paying privately are particularly reliant on their physicians to ensure their needs and interests are put first.\nThe policy now notes that physicians are prohibited from charging patients for insured services and from charging any amount in excess of what the provincial health insurance plan has or will pay (e.g., extra-billing, user fees).\nIn response to reports of potentially egregious billing practices, this content was added to remind physicians of their legal obligations under the Canada Health Act and the Commitment to the Future of Medicare Act, 2004.\nThe policy now requires physicians whose practice structure leads to faster access to insured services when they are bundled with uninsrued services to ensure that doing so complies with the legal prohibition on charging or accepting payment in exchange for preferential access to insured services.\nThe Commitment to the Future of Medicare Act, 2004 prohibits charging or accepting payment in exchange for preferential access to care.\nThe Uninsured Services: Billing and Block Fees policy received final approval from Council on November 30, 2017, and is now an official policy of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario.\nA Patient Information Sheet has also been developed to help patients understand what they are entitled to and what to expect when their doctor charges them for uninsured services or offers them the option of paying a block fee.\n1) The expectations of the policy apply broadly to the provision and billing of all uninsured services.\n2) When charging for uninsured services, physicians must ensure that their fees are reasonable and must, except in the cases of emergencies, communicate their fees in advance of providing the service.\n3) Physicians must consider the patients\u2019 ability to pay fees and consider whether it would be appropriate to reduce, waive, or allow for flexibility on compassionate grounds.\n4) Physicians who intend to charge patients for missed or cancelled appointments without required notice must have a system in place to allow patients to cancel. They must also ensure that patients are informed of the cancellation policy in advance, and have been available at the time of the appointment.\n5) Physicians must be clear and impartial when proposing uninsured services as an alternative or adjunct to insured services. If physicians structure their practice in a manner that leads to faster access to insured services when combined with uninsured services, they must ensure that doing so complies with the legal prohibitions against granting preferential access to insured services.\n6) Physicians offering patients a block fee must do so in writing, satisfying a number of requirements including: indicating that a block fee is optional, inviting and helping patients assess whether a block fee is in their best interest, and refraining from using language that is or could be perceived as coercive or suggestive that without payment care will suffer.",

        "raw_content": "Cain: I misspoke about negotiating with terrorists\n(CNN) - Herman Cain said he made a mistake Tuesday when he said he could see himself negotiating with al-Qaeda if he were elected president.\n\"I misspoke,\" Cain told Anderson Cooper immediately following the CNN Western Republican Debate in Las Vegas. \"Because I didn't, you know, things are moving so fast, I misspoke. I would not do that, I simply would not do that.\"\nCain made the original assertion in an interview Tuesday with CNN's Wolf Blitzer.\nBlitzer asked if Cain would be willing to negotiate with al-Qaeda by releasing all of the prisoners at Guantanimo Bay.\n\"I could see myself authorizing that kind of transfer but what I would do is I would make sure that I got all of the information, I got all of the input, considered all of the options and then, the president has to make a judgment call,\" Cain said.\nCain said after the debate that he was confusing two situations, since a previous question had been whether or not Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had done the right thing by releasing hundreds of Palestintian prisoners in exchange for the release of an Israeli soldier.\n\"Here is how I was misspeaking about our situation,\" Cain said. \"I said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had a lot of things to consider in order to make that decision. What I'm saying is I can't say he did the right thing or the wrong thing just based on the numbers. That is the point I was trying to make. I probably misspoke when I went from that situation over to this situation. You got to have all the facts.\"\nCain also said after the debate that he was fully prepared to compete in the early voting states of New Hampshire and Iowa, despite reports that he wasn't serious about winning those states.\n\"We have a staff of about three people in New Hampshire, and we're in the process of adding more people in New Hampshire,\" Cain said. \"The other thing is we are raising money, we got money to stay in this race. People are saying we broke now.\"\nCain continued, \"We are hiring people for our corporate office and in all of the states, we are ramping up. The good news is, plenty of good people out there and we are adding them very rapidly. We're in it to win it.\"\nWatch Anderson Cooper 360\u00b0 weeknights 8pm ET.

Goodye Hermie \u2013 perhaps you can have a singing career in the future.\nCA Dream USA\nWow.....This guy is in over his head..Hurry up and get him a show on Fox News\nI am actually surprised that these people are contesting to be AMERICAN president WOW, what a degeneration!!\nJust goes to show, they don't always hear all parts of the questions.\nIf he can't think fast on his feet...and be right most of the time, he shouldn't be president...\nI don't know if he can win, but he sure makes me feel confident in how he would serve the country.\nHe keeps saying, \"I got\" and \"we got\" and \"you got.\" There should be a \"have\" in between all those pronouns and verbs (i.e., \"I have got\" and \"we have got\" and \"you have got\").\nCall me picky, but I believe the President of the only Super Power left on the planet and leader of the free world should be able to speak English correctly.\nBrian - PA\nHe should stick to negotiating pepperoni vs sausage. How in the world does he keep 2nd place in the polls?\n\"I misspoke,\" \u2013 What a Dope!!!\n\"Because I didn't, you know,\"\n\"...things are moving so fast,\"\nDang, I fell on my ASH!\n\"I misspoke.\" because I'm a big JOKE\n\"I would not do that,\" \u2013 that would be wack!!\n\"I simply would not do that.\" Damn \u2013 can I take it back???\nThis is CAIN, ya\u2019ll!!!\nPeople are saying 'we broke now'.\nHerman Cain is a man out there with some excellent ideas, leadership qualities and straight talk with the courage to enter a completely new realm ( national politics ) because it's obvious the national political realm needs help. The administration stopped being about the people long ago. It is self-focused and intent on driving a wedge through our nation in a last-ditch effort at survival. It is pathetic. We need a Herman Cain in Washington. It has to come back to the people and give the politicians a rest. Americans need leadership with a purpose again.\nHe keeps saying, \"I got\" and \"we got\" and \"you got.\" \u25c4\nThat's Ebonics \u2013 I wonder how he would answer this \u2013 \"Do you believe Ebonics exist??? And if you do, how would you end it?? Do you feel these same people are brainwashed?\"\nHe would say, \"Look, my 9-9-9 will help them because I got skills!!!\" LMAO\nSandiWithAnI\nI am sorry but I have to agree, I don't want someone that can't even speak english to represent this country!\n\u25baIt has to come back to the people and give the politicians a rest. Americans need leadership with a purpose again.\u25c4\nYou sound like you should be hanging out with the \"Occupy USA\" folks!!! Truthfully, that's a good thing. Too bad this is just part of your blog.\nObama's ego would never let him admit he was wrong. That's why he is intent on blowing another $450 billion of our money on the same failed 'jobs' strategy that gave us 9.1% ( official ) unemployment. I would rather see someone honest enough to admit they made a mistake rather than making the same mistake again in a futile attempt to justify the first one.\nWhat with these politicians? They said nonsensical things which they thought would at least catch on, but as soon as it doesn't they 'misspoke' The word misspoke is so overused by these people and one sometimes wonder if they know the meaning of misspoke.\nCain seriously said he would build electrified fence to kill innocent people who are simply crossing over where the grass is greener. All of sudden, he was making joke. He seriously said he would negotiate with terrorists. All of a sudden he misspoke.\nWe simply cannot trust double minded men like Romney, Cain and Perry to be president. They talk too much trash, then simply pass it of as a joke and a misspoken moment.\nThe republicans are still searching desperately among a bunch of old men and one female bigot who has no idea of what is takes to be president.\nJay Cadet\nha...I bet you Cain is taking the TP for a ride.

You can access and edit specific details regarding your subscription to the Streaming Service (including information concerning your credit card or other available payment method (\"Payment Method\") if you purchase your subscription from Provider) on the Streaming Service\u2019s website under \"Settings.\"\n8.2 Device Requirements. To see if the Streaming Service is available for your device see our Help Center.\n8.3 Payment and Pricing. By placing an order for the Streaming Service through an authorized third-party distributor or Provider (each a \"Distributor\") and providing a Payment Method to that Distributor, you are agreeing to pay a subscription fee and any applicable taxes and service fees (\"Fees\") for the Streaming Service on the payment cycle designated by the Distributor. The Fees will be charged to your Payment Method at the beginning of your subscription (or, as described in Section 8.8, at the end of your Trial Period, where applicable), and thereafter on a recurring basis in accordance with your designated payment cycle, unless you cancel your subscription or your account or the Streaming Service is suspended or terminated pursuant to these Terms. Billing policies are set by Distributors. If you purchase a monthly subscription to the Streaming Service from Provider and your subscription begins after the 28th of a month, then in any subsequent month in which that day does not occur, we will charge your Payment Method on approximately the last day of such month. For example, if you started your subscription on January 31st, your next payment date will be approximately February 28th. If you do not purchase your subscription to the Streaming Service through Provider, you should confirm your Distributor\u2019s billing policies before subscribing to the Streaming Service. The Fees charged to your Payment Method may vary from time to time due to changes in your subscription plan or applicable taxes, and you authorize your Distributor to charge your Payment Method for these amounts. Each Distributor reserves the right to change the price for a subscription to the Streaming Service and will be responsible for communicating any price changes to you. If you do not wish to accept a price change, you may cancel your Streaming Service subscription as described in Section 8.5. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL INTERNET ACCESS CHARGES. PLEASE CHECK WITH YOUR INTERNET PROVIDER FOR INFORMATION ON POSSIBLE INTERNET DATA USAGE CHARGES.\n8.4 No Refunds. ALL FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE. As described further in Section 8.5, even if you cancel the Streaming Service during a paid subscription period, you will not receive a refund for any portion of the Fees for the remainder of that subscription period. A Distributor may provide a credit, discount, or other consideration (\"Credits\") to certain subscribers in certain circumstances. The amount and form of such Credits, and the decision to provide them, are at the Distributor\u2019s sole discretion. The provision of Credits in one instance does not entitle you to Credits in the future for similar instances, nor does it obligate Provider or any other Distributor to provide Credits in the future, under any circumstance.\n8.5 Cancellation. If you purchased your subscription to the Streaming Service from Provider, you can cancel your subscription at any time by going to the \"Settings\" feature of the Streaming Service\u2019s website or by contacting us at showtime.com/help. If you purchased your subscription to the Streaming Service from another Distributor, you can cancel your subscription to the Streaming Service at any time through such Distributor\u2019s platform. With respect to all Distributors, if you cancel your subscription, the cancellation will go into effect at the end of your then-current paid subscription period. You will have continued access to the Streaming Service for the remainder of your paid subscription period, but YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE A REFUND OF ANY FEES PAID. You must cancel your subscription before it renews for the next period to avoid paying the Fees for the next period. You acknowledge and agree that cancellation of your subscription is your sole recourse if you have any dissatisfaction, issue or concern related to the Streaming Service, its Content or features, Fees, applicable taxes, or billing methods; the selection of Content available to you through the Streaming Service; these Terms, including the Provider Privacy Policy, or any changes thereto; your Distributor\u2019s billing or other policies; or any other the Streaming Service policies or practices.\n8.6 Updating Payment Method; Unpaid Amounts. You may update your Payment Method for the Streaming Service through your account with your Distributor. If your Distributor is Provider, you may update your Payment Method for the Streaming Service on the Streaming Service's website under \"Settings.\" If you fail to pay any Fees when due, as a result of expiration of your Payment Method, invalid account details, insufficient funds, or otherwise, (1) you will remain liable for all such amounts, as well as any costs that your Distributor incurs in collecting any amounts you fail to pay in connection with the Streaming Service, including attorney and collections fees; (2) you authorize your Distributor to continue charging your Payment Method, as your Payment Method information may be updated as described above in this Section 8.6; and (3) your Distributor may suspend or terminate your subscription. Changing your Payment Method information may result in changes to your billing cycle.\n8.7 Promo Codes. From time to time, promotional codes may be available, including those provided as part of a third party promotion. Promotional codes may be redeemed as described in the specifics of the promotion. Promotional codes can only be used once, cannot be redeemed for cash, and may be combined with other offers, subject to certain restrictions as determined by Provider in its sole discretion. If you received a promotional code through an offer by a third party, additional conditions may apply.\n8.8 Trial Period. The Streaming Service may be offered to certain users on a free trial subscription basis for a limited time (\"Trial Period\"). Distributors are under no obligation to provide a Trial Period, and Trial Periods may not be available at all times. Each Distributor, as the case may be, reserves the right, in its absolute discretion, to determine your eligibility for a Trial Period. The specific terms of the Trial Period will be stated in the marketing material describing the particular Trial Period. Your subscription starts at the beginning of the Trial Period.

        "title": "The Power of Conscience-King Christian X",
        "raw_content": "Christian X was born Sept. 26, 1870 in Charlottenlund, and died in Copenhagen on April 20, 1947. He reigned Denmark from 1912\u20131947 and symbolized the nation\u2019s resistance to the German occupation during World War II.\nThe eldest son of King Frederick VIII and Louise of Sweden and Norway, Christian became chief of the royal guard in 1898 and married Alexandrine of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. He assumed the throne on his father\u2019s death in 1912.\nIn June 1915, Christian signed the new constitution that provided for a two-chamber parliament with equal suffrage for men and women; he also gave his assent to the federal act of 1918 making Iceland an independent kingdom. In July 1920 he received a warm welcome in North Schleswig, the part of Schleswig-Holstein ceded to Denmark by Germany under the Treaty of Versailles (1919).\nIn April 1933, Christian X was scheduled to appear at the central synagogue in Copenhagen to celebrate its centennial anniversary. When Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany in January, the community leaders suggested that the king postpone his visit. The king insisted, however, and became the first Nordic monarch to visit a synagogue.\nWhen Denmark was occupied in 1940, Crown Princess Ingrid urged her father-in-law to maintain his daily habit of riding his horse through the streets of Copenhagen. These morning rides became a powerful symbol of national identity, and throngs of young Danes gathering in solidarity around their monarch.\nThe King\u2019s horseback rides through the streets of Copenhagen, showed that he had not abandoned his countrymen, and may have been the source of the myth that he wore the yellow star when he went out on his horse.\nNo one in Denmark was ever required to wear the star.\nThe King rejected the Nazi demand for anti-Jewish legislation in September 1942 but was forced in May 1943 to condemn Danish sabotage of munitions works and railways. His speech against the occupation forces in August 1943, after fighting had broken out between the Germans and Danish resistance fighters, led to his house arrest until the end of the war. He was succeeded on his death by his eldest son, who became Frederick IX.\nsource: http://www.ushmm.org/wlc/en/article.php?ModuleId=10008043",

This market is expected to reach USD 636.1 Million by 2021 from USD 445.5 Million in 2016, growing at a CAGR of 7.4%.\nThe contrast injector market growth can primarily be attributed to factors such as the large number of approvals for contrast agents in different geographies and increasing number of public and private diagnostic centers. On the other hand, the side effects and allergic reactions associated with contrast agents are expected to limit the market growth to a certain extent. In the coming years, the contrast media injector market is expected to witness the highest growth rate in the Asia-Pacific region. The high growth in the region can be attributed to the rising approvals for various contrast agents in Asia-Pacific countries, developing markets, and the growing presence of international players in this region. In addition, the availability of government support for research, high healthcare expenditures in APAC countries, rising aging population, and increasing cancer incidences are expected to support the growth of the Asia-Pacific contrast injector market.\nDownload Brochure: https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/pdfdownload.asp?id=96046959\nThe global contrast injector market is segmented on the basis of product, application, and region.\nOn the basis of product, the contrast injector market is categorized into injector systems, consumables, and accessories.

This growth is mainly attributed to the recurring use of consumables in diagnostic procedures to maintain hygienic conditions. The injector systems segment is further divided into CT injector systems, MRI injector systems, and angiography injector systems. In 2016, the CT injector systems segment is expected to command the largest share of the market. The MRI injector systems segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The consumables segment is further divided into injector heads, syringes, tubing, and other consumables (scan bags, valves, vials, and spikes). In 2016, the injector heads segment is estimated to account for the largest share of the consumables market. The injector heads segment is further categorized into single head injectors, dual head injectors, and syringeless injectors.

        "raw_content": "3 Critical Mistakes To Eliminate\u2026\nSlip ups will certainly be inevitable, but if you want to make sure you start right, here are a few of the major mistakes you should avoid.\n1. Hiring Marketing Website Builders\nOne of the biggest mistakes you can make is hiring a company that has no experience building custom products. Think about it this way: if you feel your eyesight has worsened, you\u2019re probably not going to pay a visit to an orthopedist. Similarly, if you have an app idea you think would be worth exploring and building, make sure you find a professional app developer rather than any self-proclaimed software developer who has nothing but a cookie cutter approach to designing old school websites under his belt.\nWhatever you do, don\u2019t resort to marketing website builders just because you think they would be good enough to do the job. Good enough will not guarantee the success of your product nor will it ensure that your app was properly constructed.\nNot only that, but trying to fix the mistakes non-professionals make will end up costing much more, so do yourself a favor and be cautious whenever and whoever you hire.\n2. Paying a Fixed Price\nAnother common mistake is agreeing to pay a fixed price for your project development. The cost of designing and developing an app is difficult to agree upon beforehand, and almost impossible to accurately set. The same goes for price comparisons between different apps or different developers \u2013 it\u2019s just not going to help you.\nApp development rates depend on many factors, and a large part of them are unknown when you\u2019re just starting out with your project. Of course, developers can help by trying to minimize as much as possible, all these unknown aspects, but the fact is there will always be something that\u2019s unpredicted or underestimated.\nPlatforms, operating systems, screen sizes, essential features are points your app developer can try to set from the early beginning, but additional tweaks for design or user experience elements will always come up when you least expect them.\nTechnology advances at an incredible pace, you should also factor in the possibility of you changing your mind here and there. If you start developing an app and six months later, you realize it doesn\u2019t quite fit in with the market as you had initially thought, you need to prepare yourself for some major alterations.\nApps are a living and breathing organism, and they should constantly be evolving. Once you release them, you will need to incorporate user feedback and successively launch improved versions to keep them up to date. That\u2019s another thing you will want to include in your budget from the beginning to make sure your product is successful.\n3. Spending All Your Budget on Development\nThe greatest mistake you can make is spending the majority of a project\u2019s budget on development. If you want your app to succeed, developing it isn\u2019t going to be enough to sell well.\nThe mobile space is overly competitive with tons of apps appearing almost every fortnight. There were two million apps in the App store in June 2016 alone. If you want to get as many downloads as possible, don\u2019t spend everything only on development. Focus on research, sales, and marketing.\nSpeaking about marketing, this is probably one of the most important factors you should consider when creating the budget for the app. Building the best application on the planet is worthless if no one knows it exists.\nDraining all your budget only on the development of the product will probably leave you with no money to allocate to marketing and promotion. And if your product is not visible and properly advertised, the chances of a good ROI are pretty bleak.\nPlan everything carefully before you hire an app development firm and try to balance these three factors, so you get the most out of your product.\nNextNext post:4 Overlooked Benefits of Working with Remote Development Teams",

        "raw_content": "Download \"Office of Liturgy. The Season of Advent\"\nSamson Jefferson\n1 Office of Liturgy LITURGY ADVISORY FOR THE SEASONS OF ADVENT AND CHRISTMAS 2016/2017 The Season of Advent Advent has a twofold character, for it is a time of preparation for the Solemnities of Christmas, in which the First Coming of the Son of God to humanity is remembered, and likewise a time when, by remembrance of this, minds and hearts are led to look forward to Christ s Second Coming at the end of time. For these two reasons, Advent is a period of devout and expectant delight. (Universal Norms on the Liturgical Year, 39) Advent begins with First Vespers (Evening Prayer I) of the Sunday that falls on or closest to November 30 and it ends before First Vespers (Evening Prayer I) of the Nativity of the Lord. (Norms, 40) The weekdays from December 17 up to and including December 24 are ordered in a more direct way to preparing for the Nativity of the Lord. (Norms, 42) 1\n2 The Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation During Advent the faithful should be encouraged to participate in the Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation in preparation for Christmas. The Rite of Penance provides examples for the use of Form 2 of this sacrament in communal celebrations. A penitential celebration should be scheduled during the season for the benefit of the faithful. Order of Celebrating Matrimony Whenever Marriage is celebrated within Mass, the Ritual Mass The Celebration of Marriage is used with sacred vestments of the color or of a festive color. On those days listed in nos. 1 4 of the Table of Liturgical Days, however, the Mass of the day is used with its own readings, with inclusion of the Nuptial Blessing and, if appropriate, the proper formula for the final blessing. (The Order of Celebrating Matrimony, 34) Table of Liturgical Days I The Paschal Triduum of the Passion and Resurrection of the Lord. The Nativity of the Lord, the Epiphany, the Ascension, and Pentecost. Sundays of Advent, Lent, and Easter. Weekdays of Holy Week from Monday up to and including Holy Thursday. Days within the Octave of Easter. Solemnities inscribed in the General Calendar, whether of the Lord, of the Blessed Virgin Mary or Saints. The Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed. Proper Solemnities, namely: a) The Solemnity of the principal Patron of the place, city or state. b) The Solemnity of the dedication and anniversary of the dedication of one s own church. c) The Solemnity of the Title of one s own church. d) The Solemnity either of the Title or of the Founder or of the principal Patron or an Order or Congregation. (Norms, 59) Funerals Good liturgical practice would suggest reflecting the liturgical season in the choice of music and scripture. The Season of Advent may also reflect a change in the color of vesture and employ the option to use violet (cf. Order of Christian Funerals, 39). 2\n3 Other Liturgical Considerations The color of the Season of Advent is violet. In order to distinguish between this season and the season of Lent, the bluer hues of violet may be used. Blue vestments are not authorized for use in the United States. Rose colored vesture may be worn on the Third Sunday of Advent (Gaudete Sunday). During Advent, the playing of the organ and other musical instruments as well as the floral decoration of the altar should be marked with a moderation that reflects the character of this season, but does not anticipate the full joy of Christmas itself (Ceremonial of Bishops, 236). During Advent, the secular world focuses on decorating, shopping and rushing towards the celebration of Christmas, the Church gives us the Season of Advent as a way to practice discipline and patience in preparation for the great mystery of the Birth of Christ. Projecting, the celebration of Christmas onto a season that is to be marked by waiting and spiritual preparation seems to miss the point of Advent. Therefore, church environments should not reflect this kind of thinking and the integrity of Advent is to be kept without the addition of environmental elements indicative of the Christmas Season, i.e. Christmas trees, manger. The Advent Wreath (see Chapter 47 of the Book of Blessings) o The use of the Advent Wreath is a traditional practice which has found its place in the Church as well as in the home. The blessing of an Advent wreath takes place on the First Sunday of Advent or on the evening before the First Sunday of Advent. The blessing may be celebrated during Mass, a celebration of the word of God, or Evening Prayer (Book of Blessings, 1509). o If the Advent Wreath is to be used in church, it should be sufficient size to be visible to the congregation. It may be suspended from the ceiling or placed in a stand. If it is placed in the presbyterium (sanctuary), it should not interfere with the celebration of the liturgy, nor should it obscure the altar, lectern, or chair (Book of Blessings, 1512). o When the Advent Wreath is used in church, on the Second and succeeding Sundays of Advent the candles are lighted either before Mass begins or immediately before the opening prayer; no additional rites or prayers are used (Book of Blessings, 1513). 3\n4 Season of Advent Calendar (November 27, 2016 December 24, 2016) November Sunday First Sunday of Advent (Sunday Year A Weekday Year II) violet 30 Wednesday Feast of Saint Andrew, Apostle red December Saturday Memorial of Saint Francis Xavier, Priest 4 Sunday Second Sunday of Advent violet 7 Wednesday Memorial of Saint Ambrose, Bishop and Doctor of the Church 8 Thursday Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary Holy Day of Obligation Patronal Feastday of the United States of America 9 Friday Advent Weekday Optional Memorial of Saint Juan Diego Cuauhtlatoatzin violet 11 Sunday Third Sunday of Advent violet 12 Monday Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe Patroness of the Americas 13 Tuesday Memorial of Saint Lucy, Virgin and Martyr red 14 Wednesday Memorial of Saint John of the Cross, Priest and Doctor of the Church 16 Friday Anniversary of the Installation of Bishop John Noonan as the fifth bishop of the Diocese of Orlando. 17 Saturday Advent Weekday violet December 17 is the beginning of the O Antiphons 17 th O Wisdom 21 st O Radiant Dawn 18 th O Leader of Ancient Israel 22 nd O King of All Nations 19 th O Flower of Jesse s Stem. 23 rd O Emmanuel 20 th O Key of David 18 Sunday Fourth Sunday of Advent violet 4\n5 The Season of Christmas After the annual celebration of the Paschal Mystery, the Church has no more ancient custom than celebrating the memorial of the Nativity of the Lord and of his first manifestations, and this takes place in Christmas Time (Norms, 32). The Church begins its celebration of the Nativity of the Lord from First Vespers (Evening Prayer I) of the Nativity of the Lord up to and including the Sunday after Epiphany or after 6 January (Norms, 33). This year, the Solemnity of Epiphany falls on Sunday, January 8, Order of Celebrating Matrimony Whenever Marriage is celebrated within Mass, the Ritual Mass The Celebration of Marriage is used with sacred vestments of the color or of a festive color. On those days listed in nos. 1 4 of the Table of Liturgical Days (see p. 2), however, the Mass of the day is used with its own readings, with inclusion of the Nuptial Blessing and, if appropriate, the proper formula for the final blessing. If, however, during Christmas and Ordinary Time, the parish community participates in a Sunday Mass during which Marriage is celebrated, the Mass of the Sunday is used. Nevertheless, since a Liturgy of the Word adapted for the celebration of Marriage has a great impact in the handing on of catechesis about the Sacrament itself and about the duties of the spouses, when the Mass For the Celebration of Marriage is not said, one of the readings may be taken from the texts provided for the celebration of Marriage (nos ) (The Order of Celebrating Matrimony, 34). Other Liturgical Considerations The color of the Season of Christmas is. Gold vesture also may be used in place of. Four Masses are assigned for the Solemnity of Christmas: a Vigil Mass, a Mass during the Night (historically referred to as the Mass of the Angels ), a Mass at Dawn (historically referred to as the Mass of the Shepherds ), and a Mass during the Day (historically referred to as the Mass of the Incarnate Word ). These titles were given because of the proper Gospels assigned to each of the Masses. While the ORDO (Order of Prayer for Liturgy of the Hours and the Celebration of the Eucharist) contains a pastoral note stating that the readings of any of the Christmas Masses may be used according to the pastoral needs of each celebration, those preparing the Masses of Christmas should consider the richness of the mystery of the Incarnation as it unfolds in the proper sequence of readings for the four Masses of Christmas. For this reason it is laudable to use the proper readings for each Mass. Although many traditions observe The Mass during the Night at midnight, it is not a requirement. It may be celebrated at a late evening hour before midnight. 5\n6 The Gospel reading at any Mass is to be proclaimed by either a deacon or a priest. It is not permitted to have the Gospel proclaimed with multiple readers or voices with the exception of the Passion of the Lord which is proclaimed during Holy Week (cf. GIRM, 109). It is not permitted to replace the appropriate Gospel reading with a pageant or portrayal of the Gospel. Such events are to occur outside of the context of Mass. In the Nicene Creed, at the words and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate, all kneel at all Masses celebrating the Nativity of the Lord (Roman Missal). (Those who cannot kneel may bow in the usual fashion). Christmas Proclamation (Roman Missal, Appendix I, Various Chants for the Order of Mass) o This text, The Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, may be chanted or recited, most appropriately on December 24, during the celebration of the Liturgy of the Hours. It may also be chanted or recited before the beginning of Christmas Mass during the Night. It may not replace any part of the Mass (Roman Missal). o The minister who chants the proclamation should be chosen based upon their ability to render the sung text well to the edification of the assembly (cf.

Christmas Manger or Nativity Scene (see Chapter 48 of the Book of Blessings) o The blessing of the Christmas manger or nativity scene, according to pastoral circumstances, may take place on the Vigil of Christmas or at another more suitable time (Book of Blessings, 1542). o The blessing may be given during a celebration of the word of God, during Mass, or even during another service, e.g., a carol service (Book of Blessings, 1543). o If the manger is set up in church, it must not be placed in the presbyterium (sanctuary).

        "raw_content": "Rene's Formal Wear has been a family owned business for over 30 years. Started by Rene Moquin in 1967, the business quickly developed a reputation for its customer service, customer satisfaction and merchandise quality. In 1987 Rene's youngest son, Denis, took over the business and has continued to offer the same great customer service that his father started over 30 years ago.\nRene's Formal Wear offers all the latest styles of tuxedos for weddings, proms and any other formal event.\nPlease read the articles below for more information about Rene's Formal Wear.\nTradition in Leominster\nRene's Formal Wear was started in 1967 by Rene Moquin former owner of Long's Men Shop in Fitchburg. As Long's Men Shop was coming to a close due to the increase of new stores and mall construction, Rene decided to continue the tuxedo portion of the business in his home. He wanted to start a tuxedo rental business with a free delivery and pick up service. His idea was to go directly to people's homes and measure the wedding party. Just like the days of fresh bread and milk on your door steps, when personalized service was authentic and honest. Today, his son continues that old fashioned service with pride. Most people in town would remember the infamous VW bus which Rene would deliver the tuxedos in. It definitely became his trademark. After 18 years of a comfortable business it was time for retirement. Rene's son Denis took an interest in renting tuxedos and helped his father out for several years before assuming the business in 1987. Denis runs the business with the help and support from his wife Patricia Cunningham Moquin. They still carry on the tradition of the personalized service and many long term friendships have emerged from their business relationships. If your in this business long enough and things go well, you will get a chance to measure grooms that were once ring bearers. Rene has been in the business long enough to be able to enjoy the progression on generations. Repeat business and satisfied customers is what makes Rene's Formal Wear a success, located at 120 Second St., Leominster, Most say they are the best kept secret in town.\nDon't be confused Rene's Formal Wear is still located at 120 Second St., Leominster. Call for an appointment 534-9414.\nFamily tradition in tuxedos still delivers the goods\nBy Katerine Valois\nLeominster - Don't get greedy. Establish friendship before business. Cater to your customer. Treat people like you want to be treated. This is some of the advice Rene Moquin passed on to his son Denis nine years ago along with the family business. It's advice that Denis Moquin still practices today.\nRene's Formal Wear, started in 1967, is a tuxedo shop specializing in tuxedos only. And, according to Denis Moquin, \"service is what sets us apart.\"\nWhen it comes to customer service, Rene's delivers. Literally.\nFor wedding parties, Denis and his wife, Pat, go to customers' homes to take measurements, bringing with them sample coats, swatches, vests, shoes and ties. In addition, they deliver and pickup the tuxedos for free.\n\"We don't require a deposit\", said Denis, \"we receive payment on delivery, people are amazed at that. That's as old fashioned as you can get.\"\nThe in-home measuring, which takes about an hour and a half, can turn what some people may consider a chore or inconvenience into a fun, relaxed party, he said. Not everyone can walk into other people's homes and make them feel comfortable, but Denis helped his father carry shoe bags and clothing racks since he was in grammar school. \"My father had the gift to gab and he passed it on to me,\" he said.\nRene's Formal Wear schedules wedding parties by appointment only to give their customers their full attention. Appointments should be scheduled 8-10 weeks before your wedding day.\nThe showroom is open Monday through Saturday and closed Sundays. The business is located at 120 Second St. and can be reached by calling 978-534-9414.",

        "title": "Resurgent.PH - A Brighter Future Awaits Teduray Students in Maguindanao",
        "raw_content": "A Brighter Future Awaits Teduray Students in Maguindanao\nNot long ago, Tomicor Elementary School (TES) was closed because it didn\u2019t have enough enrollees. The school had served the children of Tedurays, an indigenous group on the mountains of Ampatuan, Maguindanao for 48 years. Parents no longer wanted to send their children to study there as the school didn\u2019t have decent classrooms.\nThe school was further left behind when Ampatuan town was divided into two municipalities. The unfortunate result was that many children missed out on education.\n\u201cWhen I arrived in the school in 2003, there were only 38 enrollees for Grades 1 and 2. The Department of Education (DepEd) could not deploy additional teachers because the enrollment was below 40. I was the lone teacher and did multi-grade system in makeshift classrooms. By default, the school should be closed because it was short of enrollees. Due to this, I did house-to-house visits to encourage children to go back to school. I even reached Sitio Langit-Langit, seven kilometers away from the school. I walked and rode a horse just to reach the communities,\u201d said Evelyn Legaspi-Alibadbarin, school head of TES.\nBy the following school year, the enrollment had increased to a hundred. The children who did not attend classes in the past finally returned.That was why there were Grade I pupils who were already 10 years old and some in Grade II were 13 to 15 years old.\nEDUCATING STUDENTS AND PARENTS\nEvelyn noticed that the pupils had no shoes or slippers. They also came to school unwashed. That was the time she decided to teach them good hygiene. Evelyn discovered that the parents did not even know how to read, write, much less understand the need for good hygiene.\n\u201cApart from teaching the students on weekdays, I also went back to school to teach their parents every Saturday. I taught them basic literacy and numeracy skills, and even good hygiene so they could show their children how to take a bath and clean the house. I really exerted effort to teach both children and parents. I did Alternative Learning System (ALS) until 2005. Some parents who attended my ALS classes are now working abroad because they already know how to read and write,\u201d said Evelyn.\nFor Evelyn, the key to achieving quality education also lies in the parents\u2019 support. Learning in school needs to be applied at home because this is where they spend most of their time. Parents need to support their children\u2019s educational needs.\n\u201cI was one of those who attended ALS classes. It helped us a lot in learning to read and write and practice good hygiene. In Teduray culture, married women are forbidden to focus on their appearance as this is seen as attracting the attention of other men. But because of education, we are now giving importance to cleanliness as a way of being healthy. Through ALS, we also learned livelihood skills like sewing,\u201d said Edmond Biad, TES Parents-Teachers Association (PTA) president.\nComplementing the changes in the school was the gift of a two-classroom schoolbuilding from the Australian Government, in partnership with Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP).\nEducation remains a top priority of Australia\u2019s development assistance to the Philippines, accounting for at least 45 percent of its AUD82.9 million total development assistance this year.\nPBSP is the country\u2019s largest business-led NGO at the forefront of strategic corporate citizenship. Its core program areas are Health, Education, Environment, and Livelihood and Enterprise Development.\nWith construction of the new schoolbuilding nearing completion, the children and their parents are now excited to use the classrooms which will be far different from what they\u2019ve been used to.\n\u201cThe schoolbuilding is made out of the best construction materials. It is one of the most beautiful buildings in town. It is disaster-resilient because it can withstand strong winds. There are ramps and handrails for wheelchair users and other Persons with Disabilities. There is also a huge water tank that can collect and store rainwater. The water tank, once full, can sustain four toilet rooms for a month without rain. Water is really important for hygiene,\u201d said Bernardo Destor, Education councilor of Barangay Tomicor in Ampatuan, Maguindanao.\nThe landscape of the school also changed a lot. The road from the highway going to the school was repaired because of the classroom construction. The schoolbuilding became an attraction in the community. This has also led to increased enrolment from 38 in 2003 to 572 pupils from Kinder to Grade VI today. The school now has seven classrooms.",

This municipal court system will prioritize, for the first time in Oklahoma, pre-trial justice by conducting indigency hearings for offenders who cannot pay their fines. It will also offer OR bonds to people who do not pose a public safety threat.\nThis is very exciting for Oklahoma because Mayor Cornett is among five other GOP candidates, and three Democratic gubernatorial candidates, making criminal justice reform a platform priority. We have been meeting with candidates all over the state, at all levels of government, to encourage them to promote criminal justice reform as a priority issue.\nWe\u2019ve had great success.\nRight on Crime has worked directly with candidates for Governor, Labor Commissioner and Oklahoma County Commissioner by providing data, research and input on crafting policy goals. Among their greatest concerns are the financial and human total of over-crowding in both state prisons and county jails, the failure to treat mental illness during incarceration, and pre-trial justice for suspects who have been arrested but not convicted. Right On Crime, working in a coalition with other criminal justice reform groups, is making a significant impact in Oklahoma by changing attitudes among conservative lawmakers and candidates.",

Others might involve themselves into one life only because the person has money, but they are expressing their love none the less. In my systematic survey, I am going to analyze. They conclude that because they have these things, they must be happy. Just like women can fall in love with your personality or anything else she likes about you, she can also fall in love with your money.\nThe Illusion that Money Brings Happiness\nSuch people become greedy, they spend their lives in loneliness. Once money is involved individuals do not have as much time as they should to spend with their friends. So, material things that you will buy by money will not make you happy for long time as emotions and feelings toward and from others. They are skilled users of digital technologies and take for granted that information about individuals, companies and countries should be easily accessible and should be used to provide insights not only about career opportunities, but also to derive ethical inferences. Just because money can buy the basic things you need in life, many people think that money can just as easily buy happiness as well. They will come and go along with money.",

        "raw_content": "The Flemish newspaper, De Morgen, is reporting that Prince Laurent of Belgium, has been involved with \"environmental projects in Angola. According to the article, neither the Belgian government nor the Palace were informed.\nPrince Laurent has allegedly made contacts with diplomats in Angola as the country is interested in renewable energy products developed by Laurent's Foundation.\nThis action, if true, would be a serious violation of Prince Laurent's agreement with the government and the palace regarding his activities. In 2011, he got into trouble after traveling to the Congo and Angola, on his own, and establishing ties with Libyan rebels.\nPrince Laurent received a lot of negative press because of these actions. He was forced to agree with the then Prime Minister, Yves Leterme, that he would consult with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs before getting involved with anything political or developmental projects.\nIn other words, Prince Laurent's public role would be supervised by the government. Laurent would also be required to inform the Belgian government of his activities, or he would lose his annual appanage of 300,000 Euros. (This appanage is not a salary, but goes toward the prince's official duties and the running of his household, such as the paying of staff salaries.)\nThe projects run by the Prince's foundation must be approved by the government. However, the Prince has apparently not informed the Prime Minister, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs nor his father, King Albert II, about his current activities.\nOne anonymous expert told De Morgen: \"Does Laurent really have the expertise to develop energy projects in Luanda, a city that has more than 5 million people?\"\nThe Palace acknowledged that they were not informed of the new (alleged) activities in Angola. Prince Laurent has not offered a comment, but his lawyer, Pierre Legros, is refuting the facts in the De Morgen article. \"Everything is wrong. \"To my knowledge, the prince has had no political or diplomatic contacts with Angola. He has kept his commitment vis-a-vis with the agreement with Prime Minister Leterme in 2011. When he travels abroad as a part of a mission that can have implications for Belgium, he informs the Foreign Office, even when he has contacts in Belgium with accredited persons. Soon.\"\nThe lawyer argues that there is no reason to deprive Laurent of his appanage. \"They are trying to find something, when there is nothing.\"\nhttp://www.lesoir.be/166028/article/actualite/belgique/2013-01-17/laurent-et-l%E2%80%99angola-pour-son-avocat-prince-respect%C3%A9-ses-engagements",

        "raw_content": "Bahia Blanca - Estadio Roberto Natalio Carminatti\nLocated in Buenos Aires province, the city of Bah\u00eda Blanca is capable of acting as a host city for Rugby World Cup matches. Despite not being one of Argentina's ten largest cities, Bah\u00eda Blanca is an option worth serious consideration due to its attractions, size and location. The greater city area, known as Gran Bah\u00eda Blanca, has a population of 304,000 making it larger than nine of the thirteen cities used to host matched during Rugby World Cup 2011 in New Zealand. It also has a larger capacity than a number of venues which featured in the tournament as it does venues included for Rugby World Cup 2015 in England.\nThe city is located 575KM south of Buenos Aires and 580KM north of Puerto Madryn placing it perfectly in between both. It is also on the main route between the two cities and is located 420KM west of a city certain to host matches - Mar del Plata. The three cities of Bahia Blanca, Mar del Plata and Puerto Madryn provide Argentina with the opportunity to showcase what the southern half of the country has to offer. This is, afterall, the philosophy of hosting a Rugby World Cup - spreading matches around the country as much as possible.\nThe largest stadium in Bah\u00eda Blanca, the Estadio Roberto Natalio Carminatti, also known as the Estadio Aurinegro was constructed in 1942 and has a seating capacity at present of 20,000. It is the home of Argentine soccer Premier Division side, Olimpio. At present it is of a similar size to a number of venues that will be used in New Zealand 2011, making it a realistic option to be explored should Rugby World Cup 2023 be hosted in Argentina.\nIt could act in a similar capacity to Invercargill which is to host two matches at Rugby World Cup 2011. Teams playing at Bah\u00eda Blanca could have their schedules easily organized so that they arrive from their previous match at Buenos Aires, La Plata, Mar del Plata or Puerto Madryn. Similarily, they could play their following fixture at one of these venues.\nAlthough, test rugby has never been played in Bah\u00eda Blanca, the city is the home of the Uni\u00f3n de Rugby del Sur (URS), or the Southern Rugby Union in English. The city has also contributed to rugby at the highest level. It has produced international rugby players including Glasgow Warriors fullback, Bernardo Stortoni who made his last appearance for Los Pumas in 2008.\nMarcadores: Bah\u00eda Blanca, Stadiums",

You have to really use your imagination to figure out how you can that particular home \u2018yours.\u2019 Many people choose to remodel and stage their homes when selling, but then there are the vast majority of people who choose to sell their home \u201cas-is.\u201d\nWhile a turnkey home is ideal for people who simply want to move right in and make no changes, there are those \u201ctime warp\u201d homes that are actually incredible gems that just need a little updating.\nAs you step into each home in your search, there are 9 things about a for-sale home that you should \u201cignore\u201d as you search for your dream home:\nOld doesn\u2019t always mean bad. Some homes built decades ago have stood the test of time because they have great bones and have a classic style. Don\u2019t always assume that newer is nicer, either. Some newer homes are more affordable because they were built cheaply. Remember that there are many simple fixes for dated homes, and the plus side of an older home is charm and character you can\u2019t find in many brand new homes.\nIgnore the existing paint colors and focus on the structure of the room, the placement of the windows, etc. Paint is a very cheap and easy fix in a home and something you can change in just a couple hours.\nWhile it may look like you are on a farm, remember that wallpaper is easily replaced or covered over. So no matter how designed challenged the walls seem to look, it\u2019s easy to change.\nThe kitchen is the heart of the home and often, the appliances aren\u2019t going to be what you want. As long as you have room in your budget, or a timeline to replace the existing appliances, a seller\u2019s older outdated fridge shouldn\u2019t be a deal breaker.\nFlooring options are getting more and more diverse and there are now so many cheaper options that look exactly like their higher-priced counterparts. Don\u2019t walk away from a great house just because you don\u2019t like what you\u2019d be walking on.\nExcept for a serious mold problem, there\u2019s nothing a deep cleaning can\u2019t solve. Plug your nose and focus on the home\u2019s internal bones and the potential it has when you give it your own touch.\nIf you\u2019re not wowed when you first drive up, that\u2019s ok. Just envision a different colored front door and some new landscaping, and presto \u2013 it might just be your dream home!\nIt\u2019s great at the movies, but not in a home. Don\u2019t worry! A ceiling specialist can come in and have it all that scrapped off. It\u2019s easier to have done before moving in, however.\nIf the house feels too exposed and lacks privacy from the house next door \u2013 you can fix that. Remember \u201chedges make great neighbors.\u201d\nFebruary 5th, 2014 Home Buyers, Home Sellers 2 Comments \u00bb\nCentral San Diego Market Update-January 2014\nThe San Diego housing market has stabilized in many ways. We sales, days on market, and price per square foot level out compared to the month of December. However, sales took a large dip in the month of January, which is actually normal. Many potential homebuyers take a \u201cbreak\u201d from home shopping in the month of December because of the holidays. This means they aren\u2019t closing the sale in January.\nWith this more \u201cnormal\u201d pattern, interest rates have actually been taking a slow dip over the last few weeks. They are currently at 4.24%. Inventory levels (the number of homes on the market \u201cactively\u201d for sale) is continuing bounce around the 6000 level for San Diego county. Finally, prices are starting to take on a more seasonal pattern, with much more modest changes than the previous year.\nTo get the latest figures, I ran an analysis of home figures from the MLS for the central San Diego region (a 7 mile radius). This includes communities such as Mission Valley, Serra Mesa, University Heights, Normal Heights, Hillcrest, Mission Hills, Bay Park, and Clairemont. The numbers include both condo/townhomes as well as single-family homes.\nJanuary 2014 463 $450K $370 30\nThere are currently 6100 active listings in San Diego county, down from 5700 last month. That number should rise in the coming months as the spring selling season approaches and more people put their homes up for sale.",

Juvenile-delinquency rates began to skyrocket in the 1980s and were triple the national average by 2010. Not surprisingly, given falling wages and loosening norms, single-parent households in Ottawa County doubled from 10 percent in 1970 to 20 percent in 2010, while the divorce rate more than quadrupled. In Port Clinton itself, the epicenter of the local economic collapse in the 1980s, the rate of births out of wedlock quadrupled between 1978 and 1990, topping out at about 40 percent, nearly twice the race-adjusted national average (itself rising rapidly).\u2019\n\u2018\u2026The crumbling of the American dream is a purple problem, obscured by solely red or solely blue lenses. Its economic and cultural roots are entangled, a mixture of government, private sector, community and personal failings.

        "raw_content": "Marin County CPR classes are available through Safety Training Seminars. Marin County is just north of the San Francisco area and STS is making an effort to attract students from the surrounding areas. CPR is one of the most useful skills that a person can learn, and that is why STS is marketing their classes throughout the state of California. You can now learn another valuable skill not only to use for yourself, but to use to help others as well.\nStudents in Marin County; CPR Classes Through STS Learning how to save a life is invaluable and not everyone knows how to do it. CPR is one of the first things that teachers, parents, social workers, foster parents, and others should learn early in life. Basic First Aid is another practical skill set that everyone should learn, but CPR is definitely at the top of the list. STS offers several classes for CPR, Basic First Aid, Life Support and others to those who are interested. Those who are interested should sign up for their classes online; it\u2019s easy and takes just a few minutes of your time. Registration should be done in advance, but there is no requirement to pay for the class in advance. STS believes that it is just common sense that you shouldn\u2019t have to pay for something that you may not use, so this is why there is no need to prepay for the class. An emergency may arise and if it does you won\u2019t have to pay for a class that you aren\u2019t taking. The classes are inexpensive, with STS only charging $60 for the CPR training. This is a small price to pay for training like this that could potentially save someone\u2019s life, and you never know when the training will come in handy.\nAdvantages to Taking Marin County CPR Training\nThere are several advantages to taking CPR training in Marin County through STS. STS is an organization that is dedicated to the learning and practice of CPR, Basic First Aid skills, and Life Support. Our classes take place at our own facilities rather than in the downtown area where students are required to park in the garage where they would have to pay for parking. Students shouldn\u2019t have to pay for parking for a class that they are already paying for. Parking is free when you take your class for Marin County CPR.\nThose who take their class for Marin County CPR will have the ability to pay on the day of the class rather than being required to pre-pay in advance. Students shouldn\u2019t have to pay for a class that they might miss, which is why we don\u2019t require you to pre-pay. If an emergency should arise you would be stuck paying for something that you aren\u2019t able to use, so you can pay when you check in. You can find out what we have available and what is coming up in the near future when you go to our website at\nwww.novatocprclasses.com",

Cropsey was born on his father Jacob Rezeau Cropsey's farm in Rossville on Staten Island, New York, the oldest of eight children. As a young boy, Cropsey had recurring periods of poor health. While absent from school, Cropsey taught himself to draw. His early drawings included architectural sketches and landscapes drawn on notepads and in the margins of his schoolbooks. After studying architecture for five years, he turned his attention to landscape painting, under the instruction of Edward Maury. He visited England, France, Switzerland, and Italy in 1847, went abroad again in 1855, and resided seven years in London, sending his pictures to the Royal Academy and to the International exhibition of 1862. After his return home in 1863, he opened a studio in New York, where he resided until 1885, when he removed to Hastings-on-Hudson. Trained as an architect, he set up his own office in 1843. Cropsey studied watercolor and life drawing at the National Academy of Design and first exhibited there in 1844. A year later he was elected an associate member and turned exclusively to landscape painting in the 1840s, shortly after he was featured in an exhibition entitled \"Italian Compositions.\" Cropsey married Maria Cooley in May 1847, traveled in Europe from 1847-1849, was elected a full member of the Academy in 1851, and lived in England 1856-1863. During this time he specialized in autumnal landscape paintings of the northeastern United States, often idealized and with vivid colors. One such painting is \"The Valley of the Wyoming\" set in eastern Pennsylvania. The name of this valley was given to the western state of Wyoming. He co-founded, with ten fellow artists, the American Society of Painters in Water Colors in 1866.",

Even the boring bits in the middle that start to lose me. It\u2019ll be nice to see if I still have those same feelings.\nAngie on June 27, 2012 at 7:43 am said:\nColor me excited!

I haven\u2019t picked it up in six or seven years, so it\u2019s really refreshing to go back and reread it after so long.",

        "raw_content": "If you are a business owner in Clayton Missouri, there will come a day when you look at \u201chow to sell my business\u201d as the main question you ask yourself and perhaps the first thing to type in the search box in Google or your favorite search engine. When you type in \u201chow to sell my business in Clayton \u201d I am sure you will find all kinds of information on just that. I have compiled 7 of the things most business owners don\u2019t know about or don\u2019t think about before that day (or the day of) that would certainly make the day you do sell your business a more profitable one. Most companies who visit with us are looking to find out what their business is worth first. Most business owners have no idea what their company is worth. Wouldn\u2019t you like to know about what it is worth before you hire a Clayton business broker (we\u2019re not brokers, by the way)?Before I go into all that let\u2019s look at the 7 biggest mistake business owners make when they get to the point of asking \u201chow to sell my business\u201d1. They assume they \u201cknow\u201d what their company is worth and make up a price \u2013 Look the first problem with this approach is that your business is usually \u201cyour baby\u201d. If you have owned your business for a long time you know that you have spent more time with it than perhaps even your family, spouse and kids! It\u2019s always there, even in the back of your mind\u2026\u2026\u2026and sometimes it is hard to understand why someone can\u2019t see your business worth the way you see it. That\u2019s okay, but it is better to have a certified 3rd party give a certified opinion or appraisal of your business.Look at it this way, if you and I were going to go downtown and buy the Hilton Hotel, we would find a qualified appraiser to give us his professional opinion, wouldn\u2019t we? We certainly wouldn\u2019t take the owner\u2019s word for it or even their accountant\u2019s word for it. We would want an independent opinion and official analysis.But you say, hey my business isn\u2019t worth that much to justify the cost. What? Even if your business is only worth $25,000, at least you would have an official 3rd party appraisal and a \u201cfloor\u201d price you could start at. And with the discounts available when you go through someone like valuationbroker.com, you could literally add thousands if not tens of thousands to your sales price, and only pay a small percentage to have it done.I would not even consider selling any business without this step, no way, ever.You see, most business buyers are smart, like you, they have done a lot of right things to get where they are and unless they have recently inherited the money, they are sophisticated to a degree and will do their homework when looking for a company to purchase. The real advantage to having your company appraised first (by an independent 3rd party certified appraiser) is that you are the one driving the appraisal, not the buyer.2. They ask their accountant what their company is worth and use that number \u2013 You accountant is probably a very smart individual, however when coming to valuing a business or having one in on the sales process, I have one rule. I make sure they have been in on at least 10 business sales in the past 12 months, no exceptions. I have seen more deals killed by well meaning accountants. Don\u2019t make this mistake.I don\u2019t care what your accountant thinks your business is worth. I don\u2019t care what MY accountant thinks your business is worth. I want to know what the market tells me.\nSo that\u2019s why I want an independent look from a qualified third party to tell me the current \u201cmarket value\u201d. I have seen hundreds of business owners make this mistake and it can (and has) literally meant the difference of getting only half of what they could have! Half!What\u2019s also most interesting about accountants is that they tend to favor using the book value of your business as a starting point and not the market value. Big big mistake. You\u2019ll leave a ton on the table this way. Don\u2019t do it!3. They take the number off their balance sheet and say that\u2019s what their company is worth \u2013 You balance sheet tells you the hard value of the assets you have, that\u2019s it! It doesn\u2019t take into consideration what the value of your assets are that have already been depreciated or your blue sky value, or good name, or customer base\u2026\u2026\u2026.all things that can add tremendously to the bottom line value of your business!4. They read a few articles in INC magazine and guess a number (even saying something like \u201ccompanies in my industry are selling for 3 Times earnings\u201d) They may even refer to their latest tax return for a number \u2013 Don\u2019t be fooled by this! There are so many variables even with similar businesses in the same industry. The true value of your Missouri business is NOT the same as the guy down the street, even if you do the same thing! The true value of your Clayton business is NOT like real estate, where you can compare with the property down the street.That is like saying the space shuttle is like a bicycle. True they are both forms of transportation, but one is a bit more complicated than the other. Again, have it appraised by a \u201cmarket appraiser\u201d. Best money you will EVER spend. Ask ANYONE who has EVER sold a business! 5. They trust a FREE tool on the internet to give them the value of their business \u2013 While these free tools are valuable to help obtain a \u201crange of value\u201d (we have one too), they are not the complete answer and you can\u2019t use them to justify your asking price. If you have a properly done market appraisal, it will include a \u201cjustification of purchase price\u201d section that says, \u201cthis is what your business is worth in this market, and here is why it is worth that\u201dThat is such an important step. Buyers are smart and want to know how you came to the price you did. Now you know what to do so you can stand behind your price.\nThe Best Clayton Missouri Business Brokers\nAuthor ACGPosted on April 4, 2017 April 4, 2017 Tags Broker to sell my business in Clayton, brokers to sell my business in Clayton, Business Broker of st. louis in Clayton, Business brokers of st. louis in Clayton, Buy a business in Clayton, Buying a business in Clayton, sell business in Clayton, Sell my business in Clayton, Sell your business in Clayton, Sell Your company in Clayton, Selling a business in Clayton, Succesion Planing in Clayton, Succession plan in Clayton",

        "raw_content": "You are here: Main \u00bb Netanyahu Says 'Border Tunnels' Operation to 'Continue as Long as Necessary'\nMeanwhile, Lebanese president Michel Aoun on Monday morning received US Ambassador Elizabeth Richard to discuss the current developments in southern Lebanon. \"The army command is ready to confront any emergency\", it said. He declined to say how many had been detected or how they would be destroyed. While the barrier's construction has prompted complaints from the Lebanese army, Hezbollah has not responded - an indication it could remain restrained amid the new operation.\nHezbollah was formed following the Israeli regime's invasion of Lebanon and the ensuing occupation of its southern parts in the 1980s, and now constitutes Lebanon's de facto military power.\nA Hezbollah official told al-Nahar that Netanyahu was \"in crisis\" and had manufactured the confrontation in order to distract from his legal and political troubles.\nSuspicious timing: In Israel and Lebanon, critics of Netanyahu's government are questioning the timing of the operation just as police have recommended that the prime minister be indicted on bribery charges.\nNetanyahu has spoken of a sensitive security situation without providing details, particularly after defence minister Avigdor Lieberman quit over a controversial Gaza ceasefire last month.\nThroughout Tuesday mechanical diggers, drills and other heavy machinery could be seen from south Lebanon, working on the Israeli side of the heavily-guarded border.\nIsrael has launched what it calls \"an operation to expose and neutralise\" tunnels between Lebanon and Israel allegedly made by armed group Hezbollah.\nThe photographs appeared to have been taken from watchtowers along the Israeli-Lebanese border, which are meant to be used exclusively by the Lebanese Armed Forces.\nThe 200-meter tunnel, which originated in a private home in Qafr Kila in southern Lebanon and penetrated some 40 meters into Israel's north near the town of Metulla, did not present an immediate threat, the army said.\nHezbollah, meanwhile, has also been heavily engaged in Syria, where it is battling alongside government forces. A Lebanese army source said the situation was calm on its side of the border, as did United Nations peacekeepers operating there.\nBefore his departure, Netanyahu hinted at the Israel operation.\nIsrael and Hezbollah fought a monthlong war in 2006 that ended in a stalemate. Northern residents have raised fears in recent years of attack tunnels being dug under the border, spurring the IDF to launch a task force to investigate the concerns in 2014. Israel's border with Lebanon has been relatively quiet in the years since, but Israel views the Shiite militant group and its rockets as a major threat.\nWithin Lebanon itself, Hezbollah has built a series of underground structures to stay out of the sights of the Israeli Air Force and create a challenge to advancing Israeli ground forces.\nJose Mourinho: 'We have no mad dogs'\nStill seventh in the table, the Red Devils could end the weekend nine points off the top four. De Gea was flailing at the effort, and Saints had a 2-0 lead.",

        "raw_content": "I sat on the porch in the afternoon and the air was heavy and the sun glared off the barber shop glass. Only a few people walked by, and those who did were weighed down by August. It\u2019s a sullen month, a reluctant month. Even the cars eased their way through the heat, sweating, sighing. I stood and paced, sat back down, stood up and leaned over the iron rails, peered down the street as far as I could see. I sat back down.\nMy oldest son was coming home from high school, the kid who first made me a dad. My wife has homeschooled him for the last ten years, and it was his first day in public school since kindergarten.\nThe words from the parable of the prodigal son came to me, dropping into my mind from some long-ago Sunday School class: \u201cWhen he was still a long way off, his father saw him\u2026\u201d I have never thought of it before, but I wonder now, if the father was in the habit of watching for the arrival of his youngest son. I wonder if he knew the highest points of his property and if he wandered to those places late in the day, staring far off down the road, looking for the old familiar gait, the way his son walked with his head down, the way he swung his arms. I wonder if the father watched until the sun set, and even after that, when he couldn\u2019t see through the dark but would only stand there, staring.\nI know I would. I would wait until morning, and then again, and then again. A father\u2019s love for a son is a fierce, aching thing.\nAnd there is God, always waiting for us, merciful, gracious, hoping for our return. If not today, someday. If not at this time, sometime.\nWhile he was still a long way off, I saw him, his lime green shirt, his wild hair, his long, thin, newly-grown-up body that no longer fits in his twin bed. I hopped down the porch stairs, skipping a step, suddenly light, suddenly forgetting August. I walked fast over the cracked cement, the back alley that cuts our block in two, and there he was, crossing Queen, and when I met him I wrapped him in a bear hug, pushed him away, looked into his face, clapped him on the shoulder.\n\u201cLook at you,\u201d I said, staring into his face, because he was different, grown, no longer mine, not entirely. We raise these children as best we can, and at some point we send them into the world a gift, taking, we hope, the best of us with them. There is a letting go, and if we don\u2019t allow it to happen, our fingers will tear them, bruise them in the holding. But when we do let them go, what a marvelous and terrible departure! You won\u2019t see another thing like it.\n\u201cLook at you,\u201d I said again, laughing out loud.\nHe grinned a goofy grin, bashful. \u201cHey, Dad.\u201d\n\u201cI\u2019m proud of you,\u201d I said. \u201cI\u2019m really proud of you.\u201d\nWill our children ever realize how long we would wait for them?",

        "title": "12 When Parents Do Homework",
        "raw_content": "When Parents Do Homework\nQ. I overheard a mom talking on her cell phone in the grocery store about how \"all\" the other parents in her child's class are doing their kids' homework for them, since they all want their kid's project to be the best, and they've got the kids involved in too many sports and outside activities for them to have time to do their own homework. I was pretty shocked. Is this going on a lot?\nIf you believe a survey done by www.ask.com, yes, it is going on a lot. In the survey, 43% of parents nationwide admitted that they do their children's homework for them. The South appears to be the part of the country where this happens the most, with an 87% rate, at least as reported in the survey.\nThe survey found that fathers were more likely than mothers to do their child's work, and that rich parents were more likely to do it than poor parents.\nA lot of this is probably driven by the change in teaching methods brought by the federal educational policies that require more standardized testing. Teachers feel stress about making sure their students are prepared for those high-stakes tests, and so the homework seems to be more boring and laborious than in past decades.\nSome parents say that teachers are giving too much homework, and expecting too much from kids who are tired after a long school day, and that's why they justify doing the work for their kids.\nSome parents are so stressed out handling their full-time jobs and household responsibilities - and are so weak in their own parenting skills and philosophies - that they do the homework just because it's quicker to do it themselves than it is to hold the child's feet to the fire and MAKE the child do it.\nCompetitiveness is also a factor, especially in affluent suburban parents who want their children's GPA to be tops so that they can get into an exclusive college.\nSome parents who have personal problems also tend to live vicariously through their children and over-identify with their school assignments, and kind of move in on their child's tasks, taking them on to try to prop up their own flagging self-esteem when \"their\" paper or diorama or science project gets an A and so forth.\nTeachers are correct when they say that every time a parent does what the child should be doing, the parent is weakening the child, not strengthening him or her. Your child will lose out on learning valuable time management, discipline and goal-setting skills. Plus, it's dishonest, and that's the main thing. Parents who do their children's homework for them are teaching them to cheat.\nTeachers suggest this: be a coach for your child's homework. Set up a homework area in your home, and household rules, that will support success and homework completion. Go ahead and help if there is a problem, but only on a supportive basis. Never take the lead! Ask questions, but do not supply answers. Show where the answers can be found. Demonstrate a skill, but do not do the whole thing or even a large part of it for the child. Quiz the child before tests . . . but make it your goal that every academic product that comes out of that child's head really is that child's, not yours.\nTHEN you've accomplished the main goal of homework - making sure the work that gets done in the home is the child's.\nHomework: A radical solution might be to do away with homework altogether, teach parents more about the curriculum, and lead them in ways to expand their child's learning experiences and skills in their hours and days off school, saving a lot of frustration and time-wasting. However, this is chancey, since so many parents are not likely to change their ways. A blogger who is passionate about this idea is http://stophomework.com\ufffd\nHomework Helpers < Previous",

        "raw_content": "I don't mind the Mulder/Scully romance. It's not the dealbreaker for me that it is for fans (or for Chris Carter). I think Informant's opinion that Mulder and Scully had no business getting romantic, full-stop, is a very strange opinion for a writer. Writers, by their nature, should see the possibilities in any avenue; whether or not they care to explore them is a different question.\nChris Carter is not really a writer who thinks in terms of characterization. Instead, characters are mouthpieces for a certain point of view. Mulder was the believer. Scully was the skeptic. That was the end of it as far as he was concerned. He felt that it was up to the actors to make these icons feel like people; he stuck to writing the believer and the skeptic. And that was fine and well and good. The show certainly could have carried on for 11 seasons and two films with Mulder and Scully as professional colleagues who, due to their hangups and traumas and repressions and demons, would never be a couple.\nSeasons 1 - 5 present a near infinite number of reasons as to why Mulder and Scully shouldn't be a couple. They are complete loners for the most part with no life outside their work. Scully's daddy issues have made it difficult for her to bond with others; the death of her sister traumatized her from forming new relationships with others. Mulder is tormented by his sister's disappearance, his parents' complicity and his penchant for pornography made it quite clear: despite having sexual desires, he simply doesn't allow himself anything except for the X-Files.\n\"War of the Copraphages\" have Mulder bringing a town to disaster with his paranoia; \"Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose\" present Mulder and Scully as detached from human experience; \"Never Again\" indicates that Mulder and Scully's relationship is profoundly toxic and dysfunctional -- they are horrible for each other because Mulder is a selfish, myopic misfit and Scully is a self-isolating workaholic.\nBut FIGHT THE FUTURE had Mulder and Scully almost kiss, interrupted only by a bee. Once that happened, there was no going back. And it could have been fine except due to Carter's discomfort with romance (and characterization in general), the romantic arc was badly mishandled despite being strangely well-written. Season 6 has Mulder and Scully kicked off the X-Files Division. They are no longer partners. They are no longer assigned X-Files cases. For 12 episodes, almost half of Season 6, Mulder and Scully were cut off from the central concept of the series.\nIt had almost no effect on the show's storytelling engine whatsoever. \"Drive\" has Mulder and Scully blundering into an X-File, \"Triangle\" shows that Mulder will pursue them outside of work hours. However, the removal of the X-Files from THE X-FILES led to a focus on Mulder and Scully as the show rather than their work.\nIn \"Triangle,\" when Mulder fears he might die, he kisses a Scully lookalike and later tells the real Scully that he loves her (to which she replies, \"Oh, brother,\" thinking it's the pain medication talking). \"Dreamland I - II\" have Mulder and Scully travelling to Area 51 with the two arguing along the way, Scully wondering why they are chasing aliens when it's not their job, when these are their off-hours, when she and Mulder could be living normal lives. \"This is a normal life,\" Mulder says dismissively.\nThe \"Dreamland\" two-parter, simply from the teaser, makes it clear that even when Mulder and Scully aren't working on the X-Files, they will spend their spare time together. Following paranormal events. Seeking strangeness to explore. The significance of the teaser is easily missed, but given the context of the episodes leading up to it, it's impossible to see Mulder and Scully as anything but a couple (romantic or not) who like to get together to look into weird events in the peculiar universe that they inhabit.\nAt this point, with Mulder trying to kiss Scully and Scully being receptive in FIGHT THE FUTURE followed by Mulder telling Scully he loves her in \"Triangle\" and \"Dreamland\" establishing that they don't need the X-Files to be partners, the stage was set for Mulder and Scully to truly become a couple. \"How the Ghosts Stole Christmas\" show that Scully, despite her stated complaints, would actually be happy to stake out a haunted house with Mulder on Christmas Eve rather than spend it with her family.\nAnd then we go to \"The Rain King\" where Scully tells a woman whose best friend has fallen for her that sometimes, we get close to someone as a friend but then one day, we may come to find that someone we saw as a colleague and associate has become the only life partner we could ever dream of. Later, on the dance floor, we see Mulder and Scully standing separately but dancing in perfect sync to the music, neither one noticing that the other is in step.\nIf Mulder and Scully were being written as characters permitted to drive their own story (as Informant has always advised), this is where the romance would have started. But it didn't; Mulder and Scully never notice and then Diana Fowley, Mulder's ex(-wife?) returned to the show to make Scully jealous and put her at odds with Mulder.\nIt didn't make any sense. David Duchovny was deeply frustrated by Season 6 teasing a Mulder and Scully romance but not delivering. He said that it was clear to him: the writers were holding off on a romance until the series finale and without any finale in sight, they wouldn't complete the arc. To him, this made the show creatively corrupt and he wanted out. Season 7 attempted to have the romance in a very non-committal fashion where Mulder and Scully may or may not be an offscreen couple, allowing Chris Carter to ignore it (although he was seized by the idea of Scully ending the season pregnant).\nThe truth is that if Carter wanted Mulder and Scully kept separate, it would have been very appropriate to have them couple up in \"Rain King\" only to discover that their respective neuroses, idiosyncrasies and peculiarities (as established in Seasons 1 - 5) would make it impossible for them to work together and be a couple. They could have played out the romance and moved on to where Mulder and Scully ended up anyway by Season 10: the amicable exes. Or they could have kept them a couple and gone the Season 7 route a little earlier with a focus on their professional lives but an episode here or there that dealt with their off-duty lives.\nOne of the best and worst episodes of Season 6 is \"Arcadia\" where Mulder and Scully go undercover as husband and wife. It's very cute. But it's surprisingly simplistic where Mulder and Scully grumble about chores and attention when Season 1 - 5 had introduced plenty of more individual and specific reasons for why they would chafe: Mulder is a slob with no room in his life for intimacy; Scully is a neatfreak and has no tolerance for an overgrown college student. Mulder has no interest in socializing with the neighbours; Scully wants to contribute to the community. And so forth.\nBut what we got from the series as a whole wasn't Mulder and Scully getting together because it made sense at that point or staying apart for good and valid reasons. They were kept apart from Season 6 to the last few episodes of Season 7 because the showrunner rejected the proposal; they finally got together in \"all things\" because the actress rejected his rejection.\nTo me, \"Plus One\" represented the best of Carter's suspense and horror writing and the worst of his character-oriented writing. The horror story is pretty good, but the conversations between Mulder and Scully are incomprehensible.\nWhy is Scully lying in Mulder's arms worrying that Mulder might find a younger woman to bear his children? Is she unaware that they're in bed together? Has she met this dysfunctional mess of a man with no interest in sex outside Scully who satiates any desires with porn? Why is Mulder flirting with Scully like they haven't had a child and spent a good portion of 2000 and then 2002 to 2008 living together in a common-law marriage? Why is Scully acting like sex with Mulder is a desire she wouldn't ever voice when they've been spending their off-hours going on vacations to Nevada since 1998?\nI don't think Chris Carter knows who these people are outside one being the believer and the other being the skeptic.\nI'm not opposed to the idea of romantic pairings in general, but I think that they sometimes happen less because the characters demand it, and more because the audience (and writers) expect it. It's not just true with Mulder and Scully, it's also true with Oliver and Felicity, and I'm sure it's true with many more characters on screen that I'm too lazy to think of right now.\nMulder and Scully are, in a lot of ways, like Sam and Dean Winchester. They didn't choose to be together, but once they are together, they have a strong bond and partnership. Some in the fan community view this as sexual (do not Google the word Wincest, I warn you), but the truth is that it's not. There's a need for a lot of people to sexualize relationships where people have chemistry, but sometime you have to recognize where that chemistry comes from.\nMulder and Scully were never a couple where you expected them to fall into some frenzied makeout session at any moment. Their dynamic was based on the fact that they push off of each other, not the fact that they're drawn toward each other. It's a strong partnership, but not romance. Mulder and Scully should be the partners with absolutely zero chance of being sexually involved, who can grab a beer and complain about their actual spouses (if they had them). They should be a safe zone for each other, and for the audience, in an otherwise incredibly dangerous world that they live in. Being romantically linked creates drama between them that shouldn't exist. And rather than have a pretty unique relationship that we don't often see on TV, they become like every other man and woman who appear on screen together on every show.\nWhat has their romantic pairing added to the show? The best part of \"Plus One\" was the push and pull that reminded me of the earlier X-Files episodes. He'd make some sexual innuendo that was totally safe because there was zero chance of it happening, and she'd rebut with some sharp comeback.\nThe romantic pairing has given us an awkward relationship between the characters, because they can't be the partners that they once were, but they also kinda need to be the partners that they once were, because it's the premise of the show. There's always this random, useless element sitting between them in every scene now.\nAnd what else has the pairing given us? William? Even though the story could have been done in other ways, it just went nowhere. He's some vaguely powerful person who has had not much of an impact on the show at all.\nPeople think that having two characters fall in love will cement their bond and make the whole thing that much stronger, but that's not always the case. It's important to recognize when two characters shouldn't go there, and I think the X-Files is one of those cases. Rather than bring the characters together, the sexualization of that relationship has created division between them, and an awkwardness. The safe zone (friend zone?) is gone, and where do they go from here?\nI agree that the execution of the romance was poorly handled. If they were going to go there, they should have just gone there. However, I don't think that putting them together was ever going to turn out well for the series. A married couple with children, who are partners in some oddball FBI division, sharing a one-desk office in the basement, and hunting monsters? It sounds like a premise that might work if we're talking about a small town sheriff's department, or a PI firm, but it just looks silly when it's the FBI.\nYeah, I'm a writer, and I'm supposed to be able to envision all of the potential routes that a story could take. However, there is usually a path of least resistance, where the story naturally wants to go. If you ignore that and force it to go in another direction, the story feels wrong. I think that's what happened here. The story wasn't properly executed because there was no proper execution.\nTo me, watching Mulder and Scully kiss is like watching Sam and Dean kiss, or Buffy and Giles. It doesn't make me all warm inside, it makes me a little grossed out. They have a huge amount of chemistry and a strong relationship... but she's more like the sister that he never had a chance to have than she is the woman that he wants to make wild, passionate love to.\n\"The Lost Art of Forehead Sweat\" was a fun episode. It was an okay episode, which could have easily been a solidly good episode, but suffered again from some writer laziness, and a few spots of actor weakness.\nFirst, I want to say that I'm not sure what the hell happened in the episode, or where reality lies. But that's fine, because it's a long standing tradition in episodes like this. We just kinda go with it because it's fun. The episode is a confusing mess, which is kinda the point. But it's a fun confusing mess.\nThe episode sold the idea of the Mandela Effect, and presented it in a way that all of us can relate to, and which most of us have probably experienced. It also managed to explore the idea of fake news, and the idea that reality doesn't matter anymore. The truth is out there, but it's not as out there as the lies that people are willing to believe.\nThese concepts are timeless. They have mass appeal. They're something that the audience can connect with.\nSo, the problem with the episode comes in when the writer, Darin Morgan in this case, decides to make the story more about him. The weekly updates on where Mulder and company stand on the state of now-year-old politics is getting frustrating. I'm a big boy and I can handle some politics, but The X-Files was never a political commentary series (mostly because it was on the air in a time when criticizing the government would have meant criticizing someone that they liked and supported). While the show had occasional remarks about current events, they rarely tried to be petty about it. For the most part, the show could be escapist fun. It's much harder to enjoy the revival as escapist when they keep dragging real-world politics into it.\nThis isn't to say that they need to act as though politics don't exist. The Ted Cruz/JFK joke would have actually been a funny joke if they had delivered it cleanly. \"This guy's father was responsible for his assassination\" is a joke in that moment. \"This idiot's father...\" is a jab. One is in good humor, the other is petty and small.\nThe inauguration gag felt like a jab that didn't quite land, so it felt more like a shrugged off joke than a jab. That's fine. It was fun enough for that moment.\nThe bit at the end with the alien using the Trump quote just didn't work. It's like they couldn't think of anything else that the alien could say, so they went with that and hoped that people would chuckle out of reflex. The alien could have given numerous reasons for ditching the plan to explore humanity, from social media to reality TV, but the writer got lazy. Rather than come up with a joke, he came across as someone who didn't know politics but wanted to make a political joke. Which is weird, because the Cruz moment (failure that it was) gave me the opposite impression.\nI don't know... I'm not all against political humor, but it's just been badly done on this show, and it's been needlessly done. I don't see the point in needlessly insulting the audience. It's so beneath this show, and always takes me out of the story. It always seems like those moments are more about the writers than the characters, and that's not good. (like in the last X-Files movie when they pan to the picture of Bush... it served Chris Carter, but not the story. At all)\nIn terms of acting, it just seemed like Duchovny and Anderson couldn't keep up with the comedy at times. Some of Duchovny's dialogue seemed disconnected, as though they had filmed his coverage at a different time than the other actor, so their back and forth was out of pace. It wasn't the whole episode, but moments in the episode.\nBut like I said, I thought the episode was pretty fun overall. I just don't know why the writers keep shooting themselves in the foot.\nFor the second time this season, we're presented with the idea that this could be some other reality (universe, computer program, etc). We're presented with the notion that however we remember the show is right, and this whole thing could just be another universe that doesn't alienate the original series in any way.\nThe message seems directly aimed at this revival when Scully decides not to eat the dessert thing, wishing to remember it the way it was instead. Also when Mulder finds the episode of that TV show from his fond childhood memory and pops it in, only to discover that this isn't even an episode of the show he actually loved after all. It's a cheap copy of the show he loved.\nWe're also presented with a \"conclusion\" to the alien mythology that highlights how absurdly convoluted the whole thing has been, and the fact that we're being asked to kinda forget that the finale from last season ever happened.\nTo me, it seemed as if Morgan was taking some subtle jabs at Chris Carter and some of the weird decisions that have gone into making this revival. But that could just be in my head.\nThe episode definitely gave the audience a lot to chew on. I just wish that it had been a little tighter in the scripting.\nI really enjoyed the episode. The quirky X-Files stuff tends to do it for me -- I think David does that humor especially well, and Gillian provides great contrast.\nIt\u2019s weird \u2014 while I disagree with Informant that romance for Mulder and Scully was wrong wrong wrong and also wrong, I am completely in agreement about how it affected the show. There\u2019s a strange irony to how THE X-FILES avoided the Mulder/Scully romance for so long and yet stumbled face-first into every potential problem.\nIt was *very* awkward for the show to initiate a romantic arc in FIGHT THE FUTURE but to follow up in Season 6 with teases that would gradually fade away from Season 6 after the first 10 episodes and become intermittent rather than regular. Mulder and Scully were being plugged into one romcom situation after another but never got together for no adequately established reason onscreen.\nSeason 7 was also awkward. Mulder and Scully kissed on New Year\u2019s Eve, yet there was no follow-up or exploration of the significance. The non-commital approach to the romance led to \u201call things\u201d having to construct a lifelong struggle for Scully to then resolve in the same episode in order to start an offscreen romance with Mulder.\nThe ambiguity made it really hard for me, as a viewer, to track where the characters were and they often didn\u2019t feel like people as much as shop window dummies being prodded back and forth without their own will driving the story.\nMulder wasn\u2019t in most of Season 8, but when he returned, there was again an awkward ambiguity because the show refused to confirm if he were the father of Scully\u2019s child (or if he thought himself the father). It wasn\u2019t clear who Mulder and Scully were to each other at this point. Season 8 also suffered from an ill-advised retcon where Carter declared that Mulder had been slowly dying from a terminal illness during the entirety of Season 7 which didn\u2019t track with Duchovny\u2019s performance or the Season 7 scripts. The plot was instantly dismissed upon Duchovny\u2019s return as a Season 8 regular and Scully never confronted Mulder onscreen about hiding his illness from her. There was no clarity regarding the relationship.\nIt was so confusing that even after Season 8 ended with Scully holding her child and Mulder kissing her, fans were unsure as to William\u2019s parentage and Carter had to confirm in interviews that Mulder was the father (although he now says he planned all along that the Smoking Man impregnated Scully).\nSeason 9, despite Mulder\u2019s absence from all of it except the finale, had Mulder writing ridiculously overwrought emails to Scully that had none of Mulder\u2019s charm, sarcasm or wit. I WANT TO BELIEVE has the highest level of awkwardness with the film unwilling to confirm whether or not Mulder and Scully are even a couple for almost half the movie and then having a halfhearted breakup that is then ignored by the rest of the film.\n\u201cMy Struggle\u201d re-establishes them as amicable exes and that seemed to end the confusion \u2014 only for Season 11 to now indicate tremendous discord. Chris Carter writes them as platonic partners who\u2019ve had a few evenings; Glen Morgan writes them as a common-law power couple; Darin Morgan writes them as dating but distant (what boyfriend doesn\u2019t let his girlfriend know he\u2019s going off to the woods?). It\u2019s just baffling. It's one thing for the duo to vary in how much conflict they have from week to week, but being a couple in one episode and platonic the next is awkward. Informant\u2019s right to say they shouldn\u2019t have done it at all if they were going to do it in such a half-witted, unconsidered, uncommitted fashion.\nSetting aside all the political commentary, I don't think there's any doubt that Darin Morgan is skewering, mocking, criticizing and ultimately debunking Chris Carter's approach to the myth-arc whether it's Colonization, the Spartan Virus or William's true parentage. Carter has always permitted his writing staff to make fun of him with his blessing.\n\"Forehead Sweat\" is composed entirely of people standing around talking in ominous foreshadowing, teasing grand payoffs that only come in the form of very sad anti-climaxes. Reggie Something offers a secret history behind the world we know only for his grand revelations to be exposed as a delusion. Dr. They is a silly figure of absurdity whose every statement underscores not a word should be taken seriously.\nIn addition, all the clues regarding Reggie's identity are contradictory and nonsensical: his ID appeared in the digitized X-Files records in \"This\" and Skinner recognizes him, he's being pursued by FBI agents and henchmen -- except given Scully's revelations, Reggie shouldn't be known to anyone save the orderlies at the Spotnitz Sanitarium.\nEvery time \"Forehead Sweat\" provides any sort of master narrative on disparate, disconnected and confusing events, the pieces fail to fit into a cohesive whole and Dr. They points out that there is so much trivia and information and theory that it's impossible to know what's true and what's not anymore.\nThis has always been the case with THE X-FILES specifically in terms of the alien conspiracy. The pieces have never fit together. Season 1 has the US government executing any and all alien life on sight for which Deep Throat expresses his deep regret -- except Season 2 indicates that aliens have infiltrated every level civilization and formed a shadow government.\nSeason 3 indicates that aliens are conducting rogue experiments in combining human and alien DNA and they're creating clone upon clone of Samantha, but Season 5 and FIGHT THE FUTURE declare it's actually the Syndicate trying to create an alien human hybrid so that the conspirators can... survive the alien invasion by... what?\nThe black oil it its first appearance is merely a 'medium' for an alien life force to transfer its essence into a human host, but in its subsequent appearance, it becomes a virus designed to turn a human into an alien, but then later on, the black oil is in fact an alien life form that possesses and controls humans. What?\nThe bees are being used to spread the virus to exterminate human victims except the plan as revealed in FIGHT THE FUTURE is to use humans as a slave race, so the bees are for... what again? Season 6 at last explains that the invasion plot is for the black oil aliens to invade Earth and use human bodies as incubators to repopulate the planet with their offspring... so the bees are... what? And the clones are for... what?\nTHE X-FILES was composed of all these little clues thrown out randomly in separate episodes with a later episode attempting to impose a master narrative upon all these disparate hints except half of them don't fit the overarching story declared afterwards.\nIf Reggie Something is a delusional mental patient, how could Dr. They be a real person whom Mulder oculd meet? If the endgame of the myth-arc was ultimately the Spartan Virus as a a human-devised means of population control, why was there an alien bounty hunter killing off alien-human conspirators? If the Cigarette Smoking Man plotted his apocalyptic scenario from the start, why was he presented as middle management within the Syndicate in Seasons 1 - 6?\n\"Forehead Sweat\" is noting the sheer futility of trying to make sense of any of this incoherence by deliberately offering a mini-myth-arc with miniature hints that add up to a miniature level of myth-arc meandering that leaves us none the wiser.\nI liked it, although at times, I despaired at how long we were spending in that parking lot.\nThe parking garage was funny, if only because the show has always spent a great deal of time in parking garages. And having Mulder's super secret meeting spot be the FBI garage was kinda funny. He's gotten that lazy in his old age.\nMulder ranting at the young FBI agents was hilarious to me on account of how Mulder is bragging about his conspiracy credentials when he spent Seasons 1 - 9 investigating a plot to invade Earth that turned out to be a hoax and he failed to ever expose the conspirators at all. It seems to me that aside from being gainfully employed by the FBI for a career spanning three decades (with six years as a federal fugitive and nine years doing nothing), Mulder has no meaningful achievements whatsoever, something Darin Morgan has always been keen to highlight.\nOne of my favourite X-FILES websites, www.EattheCorn.com, spent almost the entire length of the show documenting the myth-arc across the nine seasons, two films and then the Season 10 & 11 comic books. The webmaster was dismayed when Chris Carter declared the bulk of the myth-arc to be a hoax in \u201cMy Struggle,\u201d attempted to reconcile alien colonization with the Spartan Virus in \u201cMy Struggle II\u201d and gave up halfway into his review.\nWith \u201cMy Struggle III,\u201d however, Eat the Corn seemed to squeal with delight at two lines of dialogue where Mr. Y declares that he was part of a Syndicate to bring about alien colonization but that it\u2019s not happening due to environmental damage. The webmaster was later gushing on Facebook about how pleased he was that the Season 1 - 9 myth-arc was validated by these two lines. He then suggested a new approach to the myth-arc with Seasons 1 - 9 being genuine but the colonization aborted some time between 2000 and 2012 with the Spartan Virus being a new conspiracy that was devised colonization was cancelled.\nI thought it was hilarious how passionate he became over Chris Carter throwing him a bone in this fashion when to me, it was very grudging and dismissive. And, to me, \u201cForehead Sweat\u201d is a (gentle) way of mocking fans like the Eat the Corn webmaster who are trying to make sense of it all when the people pumping out this information have no concern for sense whatsover.\n(But we\u2019re all crazy passionate about silly things; I\u2019m ridiculous with SLIDERS and I think this gentleman is my X-FILES counterpart.)\nI really enjoyed this episode. I thought it was a ton of fun....particularly when Reggie was re-edited into the opening credits and clips from the show. I thought the actor that played Reggie had great comedic timing and played the part perfectly.\nThe scene with They and Mulder was played with this fun, surreal quality, and I think the whole Mandela/Mengele Effect was played wonderfully. It's strange that the best two episodes of the revival (IMO) have been, basically, straight-up comedies, but it's really worked for them when they've gone for it.\nTo me, Dr. They's remark about how we are all deluged in so much information we don't know whether or not to believe anything at all -- it's a comment on the mythology where between Colonization, Sveta, the Spartan Virus and William's parentage, the myth-arc has gone back and forth upon itself so many times that the viewer is completely lost as to what to believe. Dr. They also declares that in this post-conspiracy/post-cover-up era, Mulder search for truth has become irrelevant and Darin Morgan is by extension calling THE X-FILES redundant and out of date.\nI'm not sure I agree with that. I think that the myth-arc is most definitely out of touch with modern concerns and Chris Carter's efforts to update it broke continuity and also presented some truly hamfisted and inane storytelling. THE X-FILES no longer works when it's about two FBI agents trying to break open a conspiracy that keeps morphing into a new form that's in stark contradiction to its previous incarnation with an alien invasion becoming a means of population control becoming something about supersoldier infants. Jesus.\nBut. I think that THE X-FILES is highly effective as a paranormal procedural about a skeptic and an investigator delving into mysteries of a supernatural or science fiction nature in a world that is more or less our own. That's a concept that continued to thrive long after THE X-FILES went off the air. It flourished with FRINGE, it was a success with SUPERNATURAL. Monsters of the week is a good format.\nThe fixation on the myth-arc has created a lot of bizarre characterization because the show seems uncomfortable with having the characters note that Colonization and the Spartan Virus are two contradictory conspiracies. Mulder confronted the Smoking Man in \"My Struggle II\" and didn't remark once upon how CGB Spender made him waste at least nine years investigating a phony invasion plot, he later visits Deep Throat's grave and doesn't wonder if Ronald tricked him into believing in Colonization or if he was pawn as well.\nTHE X-FILES still has value as a paranormal procedural, but the myth-arc is past its sell-by date. I take no pleasure in saying that, however. I understand that a lot of fans have a lot of fondness and devotion to it. I respect that -- I just don't share it.\nThey probably should have resolved the alien/Samantha arc around season 4, and introduced a new mythology to move forward. Say season 5 has Mulder digging into the disappearance of a remote viewer who worked with the government in the 1950s. This leads to the revelation that there have been more disappearances. This leads to Mulder realizing that he always seems to be one step behind in his pursuit of answers, which leads him to question whether the missing people are victims or some sort of new threat.\nOr something. Basically, pivot toward a new conspiracy. It's not like the world is short on them. Or maybe have Scully take the lead this time.\nOh and BTW, I'm also a little tired of the Trump jabs. If Fox is so pissed off about Trump, why doesn't he spend his time trying to investigate him? He's already free, apparently, to do whatever he wants.\nI get that Hollywood doesn't love Trump and wants to pat themselves on the back for speaking out to millions of people, but it really dates the show. He's going to be out of office before we know it, and these little comments are going to look so petty one day.\nThey are already pretty dated and petty, and they just aired! The problem with a lot of these hollow jabs is that they're based on \"everybody knows...\" politics. They're not based on facts or reality, just raw emotion, with vague references to news headlines that nobody bothered to read the story for. So now we have Mulder making comments about the President wanting to shut down the FBI (not something that I think is true), and we're at a point in the news cycle where shutting down the FBI doesn't sound like the craziest idea in the world... which again, will probably change before the story is settled.\nAnd it was done in such a way where Mulder and Scully are wondering what they'll do if they lose their jobs... the jobs that they just got back, after spending 13 years without those jobs!\nThe need to jab at Trump has trumped (no pun intended) the need for their stories to make sense. We're expected to laugh because \"everybody knows\" that what they're saying is true, because it bashed Trump.\nWell, even putting aside any part of whether or not it's true, it's just a weird thing to put in there. Because let's assume that Trump *doesn't* shut down the FBI, and let's assume that he either has one term or gets out before one term.\nThe jokes are gonna be weird and irrelevant in just a couple of years. If you tried to watch it in a few years, you'd wonder if you missed some segment of the X-Files where the President was involved. Because these jokes are really only relevant now.\nI think \"fake news\" and media/government propaganda belongs on the X-Files because they're constantly dealing with misinformation. Having Mulder say something in one episode or two might be a clever little wink to the audience, but the show is doing it over and over again. And while they might have something to say now, Trump is a very temporary problem. It'd be like if every single episode of the Simpsons' first few seasons had a Dan Quayle joke. It's just weird.\nAgreed. It'd be like if any show ever had an Obama joke... Ever.\nGood thing that never happened.\nI feel like you guys don't really get THE X-FILES although that could be said of pretty much everyone who has ever written for the show as they were encouraged to do STEPHEN KING's X-FILES/DARIN MORGAN's X-FILES/________'s X-FILES rather than aim for any sort of house style. Across 11 seasons and two films, however, the show has always been set *now*. Not in the past, not in the future, not in a parallel reality -- so the modern day references are how the show has been.\nIn the 90s, the anxieties were about cyberspace, tobacco, faith healers, the space program, AIDS, human trafficking, Indigenous peoples and government cover-ups. It's part of why the endgame of Colonization always seemed so unbelievable. THE X-FILES is set in our world and it will always have more continuity with reality than with its own episodes. 90s era X-FILES is dated by the fashions and the cell phones, 2015+ X-FILES is dated by its politics and that's every TV show that was ever made.\nBut it's pretty fair to dislike the jokes if you feel they don't work. That's valid criticism.\nIt's weird -- I liked Season 10 of THE X-FILES. It often wasn't *good,* but not for lack of trying, if that makes any sense. I had accepted somewhere around 1998 that THE X-FILES would only ever offer an anti-climax to its alien mythology. I enjoyed how \"My Struggle\" didn't recapture the plot, but it recaptured the atmosphere: brooding conversations and ambiguity and mystery. I enjoyed how \"My Struggle\" dismissed the old conspiracy and declared it a smokescreen for a new one more in tune with 21st century threats.\nWhen Mulder says that Colonization was him \"being led by my nose through a dark alley to a dead end,\" it didn't fit the show's continuity -- but it had a ring of real-world truth about how the myth-arc was never going anywhere. I liked that and I liked how how \"My Struggle II\" brought about a version of Colonization in a human-driven, viral form suited to the procedural paranoia of THE X-FILES.\nBut then Season 11 came and it wimped out terribly. Rather than let the conclusion of \"My Struggle II\" stand (Colonization came, Scully found a cure) and use the time gap to wrap up the cliffhanger (say the cure was distributed between Season 10 and Season 11 and move on, focus on monsters of the week and characterization), Chris Carter again tried to artificially extend a plot that's completely out of content with William's parentage.\nNow I'm rewatching Season 10 and... the flaws that seemed excusable in the name of wrapping up THE X-FILES' storyline years too late are no longer excusable because there's been no wrap up.\nI loved seeing Stuart Margolin on screen once again, as a big Rockford Files fan! The Trump jokes are dumb, but I think they do them because DJT and many of this followers spout all kinds of conspiracies. Trump promised to released docs from JFK and UFO's, too, which were duds.\nI think it'd be fine if Mulder made a sarcastic comment or whatever, but they just keep hammering it, and it's frustrating. Mostly because they aren't clever comments, they're just actively insulting their audience in petty ways. I make Trump jokes all the time, so I'm not really defensive of him. It's just done really poorly. I think the original series is still watchable because while it is very dated in some ways, they didn't go out of their way to date it over and over again in every episode.\nIt just comes down to bad decision-making in general.\nThis week's episode was weak. It wasn't as horrible as the first two of the season, but it was incredibly weak. It was like they took a typical X-File monster of the week story and tried to turn it into a story about William, and the final product was neither one of those things. It didn't have the weight or care of an episode about William should have, even with the weird scene with Scully crying over his body. They didn't spend enough time getting to the \"this is William\" side of the story, and the fact that whole thing just came to them, rather than them going to it, made it feel false.\nHad they played the angle of Scully finding the file on Mulder's desk, and her suspecting/projecting a William angle over their course of the investigation, the episode could have been really interesting. It didn't even need to be the real William. In fact, it probably shouldn't have been, because turning him into this big X-File creature with super powers prevents him from being an active part of the story in any real way.\nTrying to mash these stories together deprived the story of any natural flow. It just didn't work for me.\nOn another note, what's with Gillian Anderson's voice? I watch her on The Fall and American Gods, and she sounds perfectly normal. However, on The X-Files, she sounds like she's spent the last 15 years living with the Cigarette Smoking Man.\nI wonder if the Vancouver air just doesn't agree with her throat.\nI feel like Informant's issue with this week's episode of THE X-FILES is that it's an episode of THE X-FILES and THE X-FILES isn't for everyone. Even I don't really like it; I don't enjoy it as much as I study it. If I want a show with strong continuity, ongoing character progression and logical links to previously established concepts that avoids an anthology approach, I'd watch FRINGE. (I might do that anyway.)\nTHE X-FILES is fundamentally about absence, loss and the search for that which is missing. The Pilot was centered around missing time. Writer/directors Glen Morgan and James Wong left THE X-FILES after Season 4, came back for Season 10, watched Seasons 5 - 9 and declared that William could under no circumstances be brushed off as easily as Season 9 seemed to suggest. So, James Wong presents \"Ghouli\" in which Mulder and Scully search for their missing son and are met with absence and loss at every turn. By the time they find William, he's a corpse and his story is over. Scully gets her worst nightmare to come true: sending William away only made him troubled and damaged and monstrous. And when she gets her reunion with William, she only finds out about it after the fact. That's THE X-FILES.\nTHE X-FILES is also very focused on ambiguity. William has two girlfriends; is it because he's a lying, cheating player or is he polyamorous but struggling to understand his sexual identity? William induces his two girlfriends to attack each other; does he truly have no regard for human life or was he trying to master his powers and racing the clock against the Spartan Virus?\nThere's also tremendous ambivalence with regards to continuity. In Season 9, Spender injected William with magnetite that should have negated his powers; this is ignored. Season 9 also established that Scully's abduction had tampered with her physiology and that William would benefit from alien DNA -- but Season 11 now declares that it wasn't about aliens but instead supersoldiers as part of Project Crossroads, an awkward retcon that goes undiscussed and James Wong carefully scripts the story to acknowledge the myth-arc but sail right past the discrepancy.\nDeliberate anti-climaxes, cautious ambiguity, unclear continuity -- that's THE X-FILES. For better or for worse. (Informant could be right to say it's worse.)\nNo, I'm an X-Files fan. I started watching the show when the first episode aired, and I have watched it straight through today. Ice rewstched the series. I know the series. I get the series. I know what it's like when it's good, and I know what it's like when it's not. Sorry, but if you watch the series all the way through (including the rather iffy last couple seasons of the original run) and go right I to this revival, it just doesn't feel like it fits (for the most part). \"Ghouli\" is a halfway good stand-alone episode and a halfway good mythology episode, but ultimately succeeds at being neither. And the lack of proper story construction is perfectly evident in the scene in Mulder's office. The case is introduced as both a normal X-File and as a supernatural message to Scully, when only one of those was needed (probably the supernatural element, because it would echo Scully's previous discovery of her daughter)\nA fun experiment might be to go back and watch the introduction of Emily in season 5.\nI think Season 8 is one of the show's best years. Season 9 was bad.\nThere's another continuity peculiarity -- William was adopted by Wyoming farmers in Season 9. But in Season 11, they're now a wealthy Virginia family. Ah, continuity. Doesn't exist on this show.\nI'm torn. I agree that season 9 was pretty bad, but I also like the Doggett and Reyes characters and don't like it when people lump them in with the show's downfall. Honestly, I think the show lost a lot of it's vibe when it moved to California. They still had good episodes, but it just felt wrong to go from gray and rainy, to bright and sunny.\nSeason 9 had an episode called \"4D\", which featured parallel worlds, and it was done in an interesting way. I'd be interested in seeing an episode where the Mulder and Scully from the revival meet their alternates, from a world where they are 100% platonic. I just want to see the look on that Scully's face.\nSeason 8 was very strong as THE X-FILES committed fully to serialization, something it had declined to engage in despite being the first show to attempt an ongoing mythology over multiple episodes and seasons. Season 9 suffered badly because Mulder was inexplicably made the center of the show despite the actor refusing to return and there was also a lot of awkward scripting to include Scully in stories because they had the actress on contract but didn't have anything for her to do.\nI don't think we need anymore standalones where William is represented through a surrogate (Christian in I WANT TO BELIEVE, the genetically altered children in \"Founders Mutation,\" the trash man monster in \"Home Again\"). It was time for William to step back into the story and James Wong made it happen albeit in that classic X-FILES fashion of being elusive and always out of reach, much like Samantha and the truth behind the conspiracy.\nIt's fine for William to be brought back into the picture. I just think that the execution of that story was poor. It felt like a generic X-Files script, with scenes added to put William in there, but without properly framing that side of the story.\nPersonally, I would have preferred William join the cast from this episode onwards. But I've come to accept that the show has a house format (as opposed to style) that isn't ever going to change. It would bother me if not for SUPERNATURAL and FRINGE having pursued the ongoing development that TXF just won't ever do.\nYeah. I guess it is what it is. As a whole, I can't really view this revival as part of the larger X-Files series. Some of the episodes, sure, but not all of them. So at best, maybe it's a glimpse into the X-Files multiverse where different episodes take place in canon and some don't, leaving it up to the viewer to decide which is which.\nWhile I'm watching the show this year, I have some family members who have watched everything up to this point, but just couldn't do it anymore. So now I'm going to just tell them which ones are worth their time and which aren't.\nIt\u2019s funny how THE X-FILES comic books, the SEASON 10 - 11 series, were originally billed as a canonical conitnuation of the series. Chris Carter, who did little more than read the comic book scripts, had his name put on the covers. The publisher understood that Carter\u2019s name at the top of the credits lent the comics a credibility among fans that was instantly lost the second THE X-FILES was announced as returning to TV.\nSEASON 11 ends with Mulder confronting an alien ship that warps spacetime in order to traverse great distances. A rip in reality shows glimpses of parallel universes \u2014 one of which shows Mulder and Scully in their \u201cMy Struggle\u201d outfits: Mulder with his sunglasses and green jacket, Scully with her parted down the center hair. The implication was that SEASONS 10 - 11 were in a parallel universe to the Revival \u2014 except that given the Revival\u2019s liberties with the myth-arc and continuity, the actual effect upon readers (or at least me) was that the comics were canon and it was the Revival that was set in a parallel universe to the original TV show.\nThe televised Season 11 seems determined to pepper every episode with the theme of alternate realities whether they are visions (\u201cMy Struggle III\u201d), computer simulations (\u201cThis\u201d), perceptions through multiple personalities (\u201cPlus One\u201d), false memories (\u201cForehead Sweat\u201d) and telepathic illusions (\u201cGhouli\u201d).\nIn terms of the downfall of THE X-FILES as a cultural force \u2014 this is strictly my opinion, but Seasons 2 - 5 were the height of the show in terms of ratings. After the movie, the ratings started to fall. My suspicion is that the Mulder/Scully case-of-the-week format with occasional myth-arc episodes was effective for five years. After five seasons, however, the audience craved a new take. FIGHT THE FUTURE suggested that there would indeed be a new emphasis on the Mulder-Scully relationship and the myth-arc where Seasons 1 - 5 hadn\u2019t really done character arcs or developed the myth-arc all that much.\nSeason 6, however, didn\u2019t deliver. There was a lot of teasing for both the Mulder-Scully relationship and the myth-arc, but there was nothing concerete. The romcom episodes came to an end without any real changes. The \u201cTwo Fathers\u201d/One Son\u201d revealed the mythology and killed off the Syndicate, but the aliens were still coming and the Smoking Man carried on his plotting, so nothing had really changed. Speculatively, I wonder if \u201cTwo Fathers\u201d/\u201cOne Son\u201d made it clear that both the relationship and the myth-arc would only ever be teases and doubletalk and the audience gave up.\nLater shows like HOUSE and BUFFY were careful: each season had a year-long myth-arc that would be resolved by the season\u2019s end. Each year also had some revisions to the format. As David Shore (HOUSE) would remark, you want to be making little changes to the show before the audience starts asking for them as opposed to after they\u2019ve gotten bored \u2014 and you maybe want to commit to the changes wholeheartedly instead of in the wishy-washy fashion THE X-FILES did. That said, Informant would not agree with commiting fully and totally to a Mulder-Scully romance...\nPersonally, I would have had FIGHT THE FUTURE be the climactic, widescreen action conclusion to the alien invasion arc \u2014 and it ends with the X-Files Division burned to the ground and Mulder and Scully banned from the FBI premises for life. Season 6 ends with Mulder working at a tabloid and Scully working at a blood bank \u2014 until the Lone Gunmen call. Frohike won the lottery. Frohike wants to expand the Lone Gunmen into a national enterprise of exploring paranormal events \u2014 and he wants to re-name the magazine THE X-FILES and he wants Mulder and Scully to be his lead investigators. Season 6 starts a more ensemble approach where it\u2019s now Mulder, Scully, Langley, Frohike, Byers and then it widens to include Jeffrey Spender, Diana Fowley and then it turns out that Frohike didn\u2019t actually win the lottery, but the Smoking Man staged it...\nWith Season 7, I would have THE X-FILES go global with Mulder and Scully mentoring trainees as a new generation of X-Files investigators. With Season 8, Mulder goes missing and we focus on Scully and the trainees. With Season 9, Gillian Anderson is at last released from her contract and the trainees take center stage, shepherded by FBI agents Reyes and Doggett who have been made liaisons as the FBI consult with the X-Files Magazine.\nTV works best when the concept evolves a bit each year. THE X-FILES refused to grow. It\u2019s still refusing to grow.\nSo glad to see Chris Carter fighting back on the calls to close out the series just because Gillian is done\nhttp://www.digitalspy.com/tv/the-x-file \u2026 -anderson/\nI'm not sure how FOX will feel though. That's the irony here. The ratings have been just above average and this show isn't cheap.\nI sometimes think THE X-FILES might have been better as a low-rated, low-budgeted cult series that muddled along, always drawing in slightly more ad revenue than it cost to actually make it, supported by a legion of diehard fans and largely ignored by the general public. Like FRINGE! Like SUPERNATURAL! Except the fate of cult shows in the 90s was, well, pretty much what we saw with SLIDERS: a slow death by a thousand cuts with endless retooling and recasting until the fanbase was reduced to six people and the ending to the series was scripted by the fanbase's village mental patient (twice over).\nThat's true, in the 90s there wasn't so much room for niche stuff. At least compared to now. But yea, Supernatural would be a good model. Though hard to complain with 11 seasons. And hopefully more. That said, it seems like a lot of the public has dropped off of X Files for whatever season. Season 10 just didn't appeal to them and I guess the premiere episode this year didn't help. It's not doing bad for a show, but for what it is, not impressive.\nKeep in mind, the streaming option is becoming more and more popular all the time. The normal ratings hardly seem relevant anymore. (and I say this as someone who fully understands why the ratings should drop like a rock)\nOh yea, I fully understand that. I'm really just looking at it compared to the new norm. That said, I'm sure the DVR is pretty decent for the show. Here's the live ratings:\nhttps://tvseriesfinale.com/tv-show/x-fi \u2026 ni-series/\nhttps://tvseriesfinale.com/tv-show/fox- \u2026 n-ratings/\nNot bad this week. A standard X-File, with an interesting plot. Leaning a little much on the trope of the psycho US army dude in Vietnam, but adding a government conspiracy to explain it. The episode was shot well, and the characters were written well enough, for the most part. So yeah, not bad.\nQuestion, going back to the politics of this season: these episodes take place shortly after My Struggle II, right? So we'd be in maybe April of 2016 by now? So there is no President Trump yet. I guess they're fudging the dates so they don't end up making a period piece when all is said and done, but this is a great reason why they shouldn't be doing political commentary.\nMr. Robot did a similar thing. Their show definitely takes place in 2016, but they're making one of the plotlines about political maneuvering to get a guy like Trump in the White House. Then there's one scene where a big time player is watching a Trump rally or speech.\nI get that Hollywood hates him, and they feel like they're doing their form of protest. But I don't really see the point of hitting us so hard with it. I don't like him either, but I don't bring it up all the time at my work.\nYeah, it's selfish writing, when the writer becomes more important than the characters or stories. (Which is not the same thing as setting out to tell a political or personal story in the first place)\nSimilarly, with the Arrowverse, we've seen them make references to Trump, but they've clearly established their own fictional presidents, so it makes no sense.\n\"Kitten\" seems to think THE X-FILES is a more modern series than it's been. If Skinner had featured prominently in Season 11 doing questionable things for the first five episodes, \"Kitten\" would have been a midpoint in his arc where Mulder and Scully realize that while they don't know what Skinner's doing with the Smoking Man, they can trust it's for their benefit.\nBut what's actually happened: Mulder and Scully stopped trusting Skinner in \"My Struggle III\" for vague reasons (he smelled like smoke), but have continued to use him as a plot and expository device for brief guest-roles with no real progress or development. \"Kitten\" then has Skinner explain his attitude to authority -- but Mulder and Scully inexplicably don't demand an explanation as to his recent collaboration with CGB Spender.\nIt's awkward. The best way to handle this plot and keep THE X-FILES' preferred standalone concept: Mulder should never have been suspicious of Skinner. Skinner's partnership with Spender should have been known to the audience but not Mulder -- and then this episode could serve as a clarification of Skinner's loyalties to the audience.\nAs aired, this conflict demands ongoing development. What we're getting instead is the characters alluding to Skinner's allegiances, then ignoring it. It doesn't affect the story and its presence is therefore deeply distracting.\nA modern series would have had Skinner and the Smoking Man working together in an ongoing arc (like Castiel and Crowley did on SUPERNATURAL) and then built to a confrontation where Mulder and Scully find out (like where Sam, Dean and Bobby set a trap for Castiel to expose him) and either sever ties or choose to trust him. Instead, the arc has just clumsily meandered in a half-alive state; we're told that Skinner may be compromised, but he's wheeled out to give Mulder and Scully information in \"This,\" for a joke in \"Forehead\" and for more exposition in \"Ghouli.\"\nDue to the standalone format, \"Kitten\" isn't permitted to make any advancement in Skinner's arc. It just reiterates that Skinner was in Vietnam and learned not to trust authority. We already got this information in 1996; \"Kitten\" reveals absolutely nothing new about Skinner, lends no insight whatsoever and the most critical aspect of Skinner's life -- his role with the Smoking Man -- isn't addressed.\nThe reappearance of FBI Deputy Director Alvin Kersh is another awkward note of continuity. His presence raises so many unanswered questions. He was consistently sabotaging Mulder and Scully in Seasons 6 - 9, but then in the Season 9 finale, he helped Mulder escape from jail. Did Kersh believe in Colonization? Or was he led to believe that Mulder and Scully were a disciplinary issue? Was he working for the Syndicate or was he making the best choices he could when managing Mulder, a talented agent who was considered insane? Was he genuinely hostile towards Mulder, Scully and Doggett or was it an act? He shows up in \"Kitten\" and all that's expressed is that he finds Mulder and Scully annoying and considers them the reason Skinner's career at the FBI stalled.\nThis raises some serious questions that \"Kitten\" in its standalone format can't address. Why were the X-Files reopened? \"My Struggle\" didn't address it, simply having Skinner text Mulder and Scully to say, \"Situation critical, need to see you ASAP\" and the following week had Mulder and Scully back in the office. If Kersh thinks so poorly of Mulder and Scully, why did he permit them to be reinstated to the FBI? Would it really have been difficult for Kersh (who outranks Skinner) to refuse to see two former federal fugitives cleared for duty a good 15 years since they quit and were fired? Why would Kersh, who came to Mulder's side by the end of Season 9, derisively call Mulder's truth \"imaginary\"?\nTHE X-FILES is just not on the ball with characterization. And in fact, Mitch Pileggi did an interview where he described how the \"My Struggle III\" script had Mulder smelling smoke on Skinner and throwing a punch leading to an intense fight scene. But Duchovny and Pileggi protested: their characters had been friends for two decades and Carter, rather than rewrite the scene, toned it down to the silly shoving between the two that aired. It's a bad situation when the creator of the show writes a fight scene between two friends for no good reason whatsoever.\nTHE X-FILES has all of its writers working separately, the showrunner is not overseeing ongoing progression and episode-to-episode consistency and \"Kitten\" suffers like no other episode aired this year due to these issues.\nI agree with all of that, but didn't they have a lot of those issues with the Skinner character throughout the series?\nIt's weird that the show isn't pretending that Mulder and Scully have been working for the FBI for all of these years, but they're still acting as though they have been. They wonder what they'll do if they lose their jobs. They are blamed for Skinner's career going nowhere for all these years. It's strange.\nI think that Skinner collaborating with the Syndicate while helping Mulder and Scully was less of a problem in Seasons 1 - 6 because he appeared more often and, because Mulder and Scully were at a distance from him until Season 7, the ambiguity surrounding him made sense.\nBut what made sense when Mulder and Scully had only known Skinner for 1 - 6 years makes no sense when they've known him for a quarter of a century, especially he helped Mulder break out of jail in \"The Truth,\" came Mulder's rescue in I WANT TO BELIEVE, and reinstated Mulder and Scully in \"My Struggle.\"\nThe EatTheCorn.com webmaster messaged me this morning asking me if I had any way of reconciling Kersh's appearance in \"Kitten\" with his Season 6 - 9 character arc. It's a sad day when *the* X-FILES expert comes to ME for help. \"Kitten\" broke him.\nOne thing we should remember is that I would hazard to bet a LARGE segment of the current XF audience may well not recall the first series! I certainly barely remember the details!\nThat's fair enough. But a revival (particularly that in a genre like this, with hardcore followings) should take more care in how they do things. Roseanne can get away with pretending that large chunks of the original show never happened. The X-Files has a harder time doing that.\nKersh is a problem, but I am far more upset at what they've done with Reyes. It's cruel and careless, and I just don't buy Reyes as being CSM's minion.\nCan we just assume, sorta like the Sliders theory, that every episode of the show is hypothetically a different Mulder and Scully from a different parallel universe?\nDidn't we already have this conversation when talking about \"This\"?\nHowever many times it's said, I'm just happy if we can all agree to just go with it.\nAnd I am happy to swoop into X-Files fandom at the tail end and assume a massive role of importance after all the previously important fans gave up and moved on with their lives,\nThis week was obviously inspired by Black Mirror and its theme of technology going wrong. Not an original concept for The X-Files.\nThe episode wasn't horrible. It definitely kept my interest, but there were a couple of things that kept it from being a really good X-Files episode.\nFor starters, there was no X-File. Once again, the drama came to Mulder and Scully, ignoring the central structure of the show. The story would have worked better with them going to investigate a weird death before this all happened to them. As it stands, these characters didn't even have to be Mulder and Scully. Swap out any unfamiliar characters, and the episode remains pretty much the same.\nAnother thing was that the episode pushed beyond the subtle, creepy theme of technology attacking them, and just went too far with how these attacks took place, as though the writers felt a need to create action where a more subtle attack would have worked better.\nAnd neither Mulder nor Scully seem particularly surprised by any of this crazy tech. I know that we live in the future and our tech is crazy, but we're not quite to the point where I'd come home from a robot restaurant, in my driverless cars, only to have my house try to kill me, all without being a little wowed by it all.\nI liked the theme of the episode. I think the idea itself works, and it is fun to see Mulder and Scully at the center of this story. I could have done without the vibrator gag, not because I'm a prude, but because I am far less likely to sit down with my mother to watch this episode at any point.\nIt wasn't as bad as some of the episodes this year, but it definitely could have used some revisions.\nI felt like the episode was 100% a case of ireactions' theory on the X-Files. This was just a writer/writers being given the X-Files sandbox and being allowed to do whatever they want with it. This episode took place at some point in the future where technology is more advanced than it is now, and this is one of their stories.\nI don't only think it was one of the best episodes of X-Files I've seen in a while. I legitimately think it was one of my favorite episodes of any TV show that I've seen recently. It was far-fetched (AI team up to kill the guy that won't tip his robot chef), but it was thrilling and engrossing and a whole lot of fun. It could've easily been an episode of Black Mirror, but the fact that it was Mulder and Scully made it that much better. It's these two legends of TV, brought back into the modern time, and now they have to deal with this Black Mirror scenario.\nSo many things were effective. I thought, for the first part, that Mulder and Scully wouldn't speak the whole episode. That only the AI would speak. The silent movie effect was still powerful. And the cold, alien, lifeless setting of the rest of the episode made the final scene in the full-of-life diner so much livelier.\nI'm not kidding. I absolutely loved it.\nI hate that it was an episode that involved two dead kids, but this week's episode was probably the best of the season, and of the revival as a whole. It remembered what the show is, and who the characters are. The episode reminded me of other occult episodes of the show, but didn't just copy and paste elements, as some revival episodes have done.\nThey even managed to throw in cultural commentary that wasn't delivered with a sledgehammer to the head, or acts of political contortion that could be their own circus act.\nNo forced romance. A few light moments mixed in with the severely grim story (Mulder's \"I did not see that coming\" line made me laugh). This is the X-Files that I grew up with!",

I generally agree with all the criticism of it. I didn't love the Batgirl prologue, just because I didn't really feel like it tied into the main story. I think they maybe should've shown how Barbara became Batgirl. Maybe against her father's wishes. Or Batman's wishes. How she proved herself. Maybe some interaction she had with the Joker.\nThe sex scene didn't bother me. It's never stated how much older Batman is. He might just be a few years older, and that relationship could easily be just as sexual as her relationship with Dick. I thought that was fine.\nThe rest of the movie was well done. I haven't actually read the Killing Joke, but I still like the story. I also like the ambiguity of the ending. I think I prefer to think that Batman kills the Joker and ends up in Arkham. Not sure why but I like that ending.",

        "raw_content": "Tag Archives: Russ Horner\nThinking about the future of social media is incredibly mind boggling to me. The pace of change and learning is moving at light speed. I mean, people can now chase down animated characters in their towns and cities by using their smart phones? Truly though, not everyone is adopting social media elements at the same speed. Some companies rely solely on social media for their marketing while others use a combination of traditional and social media techniques to get their word out. All agree however, that in the future, social media will continue to grow and change to become the primary marketing tool for all business. I had the wonderful opportunity to conduct a case interview with Captain Marc Ackert, Co-Owner of Ontario Waterway Cruises of Orillia, Ontario. He is also Captain of the Kawartha Voyageur, a 120\u2019, 45 passenger and 13 crew cruise ship that takes guests on 5-day trips on the Rideau Canal and Trent Severn Waterway in Ontario. This family business started 35 years ago and with the average age of his passengers being 72, Marc had a lot to say about the marketing of his business. Marc agrees that \u201chis future is now\u201d as a new marketing strategy began last year with the updating of the website and creation of a series of online vignettes. Although many of his guests still rely on traditional marketing techniques, Marc\u2019s new strategy for now and the immediate future will be to market to the family members and friends who have the computers, lap tops and smart phones. These will be the people who will share the information to potential cruise guests.",

He would have been quite young at the time and far less skillful in the political arena than another prosecutor, Anytus.\nFor this reason, many scholars consider Anytus the real \"power behind the throne\" regarding the prosecution of Socrates. Some evidence exists that Meletus, a poet by trade, may have been a bona fide religious fanatic who was far more concerned with the charge of impiety lodged against Socrates than with the corruption charge. In any event, Plato portrays him as a very serious and patriotic sort of fellow who probably sincerely believed the prosecution of Socrates was for the good of his city-state of Athens. The third person who forms part of the prosecution is Lycon.",

        "raw_content": "The 2017 vintage at Bolgheri, characterized by a mild and dry winter, was distinguished by a precocious bud break in the vineyard. The spring and summer months, tendentially hot, led to an early grape harvest and a major drop in production, guaranteeing, however, a crop of excellent quality.\nPicking began on August 21st with the Merlot grapes and terminated at the end of August with the Syrah and Caberent Sauvignon, all characterized by an excellent acidity and aromatic freshness.\nThe three grape varieties - Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot e Syrah \u2013 were picked and fermented separately. The grapes were delicately destemmed, given a soft pressing, and then sent to the press for a brief low temperature period of skin contact, approximately three to five hours, in order to obtain a must rich in aromatic precursors. After pressing, the must went into stainless steel fermentation tanks where it was fermented at a temperature held to 61\u00b0 Fahrenheit (16\u00b0 centigrade). The various lots were carefully and systematically evaluated and then assembled. The bottling took place in the month of January, 2018.\nThe Guado al Tasso estate is located some 50 miles (80 kilometers) to the southwest of the city of Florence near the medieval hamlet of Bolgheri, situated near the coast of the Tuscan Maremma. The property, approximately 2500 acres (1000 hectares) in size, stretches from the coat of the Tyrrhenian Sea to the inland hills and includes, in addition to 750 acres (300 hectares) of vineyards, wheat, corn, and sunflower fields along with olive groves.\nThe wine takes its name from the bandit known as \u201cScalabrone\u201d who lived in the area in the early 19th century, a sort of local Robin Hood who preyed on ships in the Bolgheri port-canal.\nA light peony pink in color, the wine offers a rich and intense nose of ripe fruit, cherries and raspberries, along with well integrated, subtle, and lively hints of herbs. The palate is fresh and balanced with a fruity and persistent aftertaste.",

        "raw_content": "The Woolly Bully Rides Again\nThis article was first published early in 2002\nPremier League riders up and down the country are shaking in their boots as news breaks of a possible comeback by Rob 'The Woolly Bully' Grant. The 43 year old, father of the Newcastle rider of the same name, has taken out a racing licence and is in contention for the Diamonds' number seven jacket.\nGrant's original career kicked off in 1977 at Berwick's Shielfield Park. The young racer lined up in the club's junior side and quickly gained a reputation as an 'enthusiastic' rider. His reputation was strengthened after a nasty crash at Blantyre that saw a light standard all but demolished and the stadium plunged into darkness.\nThese days in the junior ranks saw him make good progress and a regular team place was his in 1978. Once in the side he proved a difficult man to dislodge and soon developed into a steady second string rider.\nThe Bandits had to decamp to Barrow in 1981 and the move looked to be the making of Rob. He was virtually unbeatable around the Park Road circuit. On one memorable occasion he scored a maximum from the number eight position and he looked to be on the verge of a big breakthrough. The move to Barrow proved to be short-lived and the Bandits withdrew from the league in mid-season.\nThe Bandits were back in 1982 and were now racing at the all-new Berrington Lough venue. Grant was still there and quickly got to grips with the new circuit. His form was good but he never reproduced the kind of results he managed at Barrow.\nThe Bandits made team changes in 1984 and Rob found himself left out. He moved on loan to Edinburgh but the move proved to be an unmitigated disaster. The Monarchs fans made it clear they didn't fancy him and Rob found the points hard to come by. He soon found himself out the side and headed back to Berwick and to second half racing. He later regained his Bandits team place during an injury crisis.\nRob received a well-deserved testimonial in 1987. The weather was awful but the meeting, starring Shawn Moran, went ahead and an entertaining day we enjoyed despite the conditions.\nRob remained in the Bandits team until the end of 1990. Always a solid middle order scorer, albeit far more productive at home than he ever was away. The following season Berwick moved into Division One and Rob was left out. His career seemed to be over but the Bandits were hit by a late season injury blitz and they turned to Rob to help out. Unbelievably he now found himself racing with and against world class stars. Rob was in the side the night the Bandits won the Gold Cup and it seemed to be a great way to end his career.\nHe wasn't finished yet though and reappeared in 1993 when Berwick ran a series of open meetings. The Bandits lined up in the newly formed third division in 1994 and it was rumoured that Rob would lead the side. In the end he never did re-appear - until now.\nIf this remarkable comeback does come to pass then he will join Mark Courtney and Andy Galvin as surprise returnees. The problems experienced by Galvin in particular make it clear how difficult it can be to make a successful return. In many respects Newcastle would have little to lose by employing Grant. If the move doesn't work out then there will be no shortage of youngsters willing to take his place. On the other hand, if he really can roll back the years then the Diamonds may well have a very handy reserve on their hands.",

        "raw_content": "Posted on 8th January 2016 8th January 2016 by Don\nThe Jewel In Aaron\u2019s Turban\nDaily Spirit & Word: 663: Holy Things.\nThe Jewel in Aaron\u2019s Turban.\nGood morning my friends, it\u2019s cold and dark outside. Thanks be to the LORD, I\u2019ve been convicted by His Holy Spirit again. As I was reading in daily devotional, I heard His voice saying, \u201cThat\u2019s you Donald\u201d. Now ordinarly I\u2019d think \u201cthat\u2019s Satan\u2019s voice trying to make me feel guilty, when I\u2019m not\u201d, but today it was the voice of the LORD. You see even in the holiest of things that we do for the LORD there is SIN lurking at the door.\nExodus 28:38 (NLT) \u201cAaron must wear it on his forehead so he may take on himself any guilt of the people of Israel when they consecrate their sacred offerings. He must always wear it on his forehead so the LORD will accept the people.\u201d\nWhen I first studied Exodus, I must have missed this; I concentrated then upon the Dress of Aaron the High Priest, but today the LORD showed me something more. It\u2019s talking about the jewel in Aaron\u2019s turban and the fact that even when the People of Israel were bringing offerings to the LORD, there was some sin in the offering. It was a reminder that even when the people are going about doing their most holy and devoted acts, there is a tinge of sinfulness in it; and the jewel in the turban is to take away the sins from the people, that Aaron (the High Priest) might bear their sin, even in their offerings and sacrifices so that they would become acceptable to God.\nImagine that, you\u2019re going to; prayer, praise, Bible study, fellowship meetings etc; yet there is something, some aspect of sin in the offering?\nHow is it possible to be doing HOLY activity with sinful motives?\nWell think of a Garden that needs to be tended:\nA gardener may look at his garden and say, \u201cOh I need to go and do some weeding\u201d\u2026 He goes out and spends ages removing the weeds. That\u2019s good right? Well it could be, but let\u2019s look at some of the reasons why a gardener may undertake the task of weeding his garden.\nIndolence: (I learned a new word today) Indolence is; inactivity resulting from a dislike of hard work.\nSo the garden may be covered in weeds because of the gardener\u2019s indolence, laziness, lack of concern, not caring about the growth of weeds in the garden. This reminded me of Jesus teaching about the yeast of the Pharisees and how it can spread throughout the whole batch of dough or the church or fellowship. Jesus wants his people to be pure, so He instructs us to be aware of the yeast of the Pharisees, unbelief.\nThere are HOLY things we should be doing, but because of our lazy attitude or our indolence, it doesn\u2019t get done.\nPRIDE & VANITY: The gardener may work on his garden for reasons of pride or vanity.\nHe works hard removing every single weed he can find, so that when he looks back over his garden he pats himself on the back and says, \u201cWhat a good job I\u2019ve done, that will impress people\u201d. That\u2019s pride in operation. He\u2019s thinking of the neighbours looking over the fence and saying, \u201cThat\u2019s a fantastic garden\u201d; that\u2019s pride too, but it\u2019s also vanity; looking good in the eyes of others.\nWhy are we going about our devotions to the LORD? Is it to impress other people, to feel good about ourselves, to impress the LORD or because we\u2019ve been too lazy and we\u2019ve let the garden of our faith get covered in weeds?\nThankfully, like Aaron\u2019s jewel in the turban, which was in place because of the iniquity of the offerings, the sins of the people who were bringing holy sacrifices to the LORD, we too have a High Priest: Jesus Christ. When we\u2019re doing our devotions; prayer, praise, worship, fellowship, Bible study, etc; the Lord God Almighty doesn\u2019t see us or the sin in the offering: He sees only your High Priest standing in front of your offerings. Jesus Christ is your great high priest my friends; that\u2019s GRACE.\nSo even if it is; indolence, pride or vanity, we\u2019re covered by the righteousness of Jesus Christ. However, let\u2019s check our motives; why are we tending our garden of praise?\nIf it\u2019s to impress other\u2019s that\u2019s vanity.\nIf it\u2019s to impress the LORD, that vanity too.\nIf it\u2019s to impress ourselves, that\u2019s Pride.\nIf it\u2019s to cover our laziness, that\u2019s indolence.\nOh LORD, SAVE me from my pride, vanity and indolence today. Amen.\nLord, I ask that you\u2019ll help me, even when I\u2019m doing the right things, to be doing them from pure motives. Amen.\nHelp me O LORD, even in my most HOLY activity. Amen.\nThank you Lord Jesus, that You are the Jewel in the Crown of righteousness.\nCategoriesBible Helps, Daily Bible Reading, Daily Spirit & Word, Disappointments, Discipleship, Disobedience, Doubt, Faith, Fear, God's Word, Holy Spirit, Hope, Joy, Kingdom of God, Love, Spiritual Dryness, Temptation, The Cross, The Gospel TagsActivity, Christian Devotion, Devotional, good things, Grace, Holy Things, Indolence, Jesus, Offering, Pride, righteousness, Sacrifice, Vanity\nPrevious PostPrevious Are You Groaning For Heaven?\nNext PostNext Jusus IS; The LORD of the Sabbath",

        "raw_content": "Tags: Bill Nighy, Bryan Cranston, cinema reviews, Colin Farrell, Jessica Biel, Kate Beckinsale, Len Wiseman, Paul Verhoeven, remake, Total Recall\nI\u2019d rather forget \u2013 \u2605\u2605\nThe summer silly season draws to an close with a re-imaging (roll eyes or insert air quotes) of the 90s Verhoeven cult classic Total Recall. At the helm this time is Die Hard 4.0 director Len Wiseman who delivers a good-looking, if ultimately unnecessary, film.\nColin Farrell steps into Arnie\u2019s muscle suit for the role of Hauser with Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Biel talking over from Sharon Stone and Rachel Ticotin. Through his exhaustive press junkets Farell has said that he initially didn\u2019t want to do the film and only agreed after seeing the script and believing they could deliver something different, with more heart and soul as opposed to Verhoeven\u2019s blood, bombs and boobs style. What they\u2019ve managed to do is give us a shiny new world with better special effects, newer gadgets and an altered story. It has all the failings of the first one though, which seem bigger here as you feel with the original, Verhoeven knew exactly what he was doing and didn\u2019t give a damn what anyone thought.\nHauser keeps having a recurring dream where he appears to be on the run from the robotic fuzz and in cahoots with a women he doesn\u2019t know (Jessica Biel). Unsure what the dream means he heads off to \u201cRekall\u201d, a place where all your dreams can come true. It doesn\u2019t go to plan and Hauser uncovers that he\u2019s a secret agent whose memory was wiped. The film then becomes a race to try and uncover the truth before he\u2019s captured again and loses his true identity forever. Oh yeah and most of Earth has been destroyed with England and Australia (boo) being the only two places left to go (I think I\u2019d take my chances in the nuclear wasteland), which they travel between by going through the earth\u2019s core in a spaceship type thingy. Cool right? Eh not so much.\nIt looks great, no expense was spared on the special effects and there are some nifty enough new gadgets but that\u2019s about it. The acting is pretty horrendous from Biel who plays Farrell\u2019s love interest and Beckinsale who plays his fake wife. It\u2019s impossible to believe that Farrell and Biel are soulmates as you aren\u2019t given any time to see their relationship develop which is impressive as the film is nearly two hours long. This is the nature of the film though; new scenarios are continuously thrown up which you have to take on board, resulting in the fact that you don\u2019t really care what\u2019s going on as you haven\u2019t invested emotionally in any of the characters. The kiss between Farrell and Biel is about as romantic a a pat-down from an overweight airport security guard.\n| o | \u2013 Nice\nMan of the moment Bryan Cranston is good as the evil Cohaagen, but even he can\u2019t help but look ridiculous in a rain soaked brawl. A welcome cameo from Bill Nighy gives a glimmer of some hope for the film but sadly it isn\u2019t to be. It suffers from transformer-style action at times where I couldn\u2019t have cared less what was going on and felt pretty bored.\nThis re-booted recall is looks over brains, there is no extra heart or emotion as everything is too rushed to carry any weight. I\u2019m not a massive die-hard fan of the first one, but its heart was in the right place and it was impressive for it\u2019s time with Arnie on cheese overdrive. Granted it may look dated by today\u2019s standards, but I\u2019ll take the original with its flaws over a shiny plastic re-make that deep down we know was only conceived for the money.\nLike a three boobed women the film will arouse your curiosity but leave you with more questions, making you return to what you know best.\nUSA, Canada / Directed By: Len Wiseman / Written By: Kurt Wimmer, Mark Bomback / Starring: Colin Farrell, Jessica Biel, Kate Beckinsale, Bryan Cranston, Bill Nighy / 118min / Action, Sci-Fi / Release: 3 August 2012 (US/Canada), 31 August 2012 (UK/Ireland)",

There\u2019s not a game the rest of the way that we can\u2019t win.\u201d \u2014 Lorenzo Romar, UW head coach\nAndrew Andrews (17), Marquese Chriss (15) and Noah Dickerson (14) were the only Washington players in double figures. Chriss, the talented freshman, also fouled out for the 10th time in 19 games . . .Andrews was coming off back-to-back 30-point games (first since Brandon Roy in 2005-06), but made only 4 of 10 from 2-point range and 1 of 5 from beyond the 3-point line . . . Dejounte Murray, who has scored 20 or more points in a game eight times, finished with eight points on 4-for-16 shooting, but led the Huskies with 13 rebounds . . . Washington shot only 38.4 percent from 2-point range and missed 20 of 26 shots from 3-point range . . . The Huskies are now 6-3 all-time against Utah in games played in Seattle . . . Washington forced 12 turnovers, the 19th consecutive game UW has forced double digits in turnovers . . . UW is 1-2 in overtime.\nThe Huskies play at UCLA at 7 p.m. Thursday (FoxSports 1) and at USC at noon Saturday (Pac-12 Networks). Washington will return to Alaska Airlines Arena Feb. 3 to face Arizona State.",

        "raw_content": "The Mercat Cross, Elgin\nCommonly known as the Muckle Cross, stood, until circa 1792 AD, on a site just east of St. Giles Kirk. The structure removed at that date seems to have been erected in the reign of Charles I and consisted of a hexagonal platform or raised balcony 12 feet high, from the centre of which rose a tall shaft surmounted by the Scottish Lion. The Lion alone survived, and the present Cross, erected on the old site in 1882, is, in all other respects, a restoration.\nThe Mercat Cross, Forres\nStands in the centre of the High Street in front of the Tolbooth. It is in the Gothic style of architecture and stands forty feet high. The Cross is a miniature version of Sir Walter Scott's Monument in Edinburgh. The present market cross of Forres stands on the site of the former. It was built in 1844. The base of the former cross was left in position and, the new cross was built over it. Nothing of the old cross can now be seen. Three carved stones from the top of the old market cross are preserved in the Falconer Museum, Forres.\nThe Thomson Monument, Forres\nErected in 1857 on the sire, where there once stood a castle, this monument commemorates the life of James Thomson, a surgeon from Cromarty who died at the age of 31 in the Crimea.\nThe Tolbooth, Forres\nA govermmental building of some sort has stood on this site since records began but the building you see now was completed in 1849 and was home to Forres Town Council until 1976. Now, the Community Council of the Royal Burgh of Forres hold their monthly meetings in the courtroom of The Tolbooth.\nThe Witches\u2019 Stone\nThis stone, thought to date from Pictish times and to have been used as an altar to the Sun God, marks the resting place of one of 3 barrels in which 3 witches were rolled down Cluny Hill and burned.\nVictoria Road, Forres - in front of the police station.\nThunderton House, Elgin\nKnown for Bonnie Prince Charlie staying here on route to Culloden, Thunderton House is a cosy and friendly pub serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner until 9pm. It is also available for backpackers to lodge in.\nThunderton Place, Elgin,\nTugnet Ice House, Spey Bay\nBuilt in 1830, it is reputedly the largest industrial ice house in Scotland. Tugnet Ice House nestles between the River Spey and the Moray Firth at the mouth of the Spey.\nSpey Bay, Fochabers,\nUrquhart Castle, Inverness\nOne of the largest castles in Scotland, Urquhart Castle sits on a rocky promontory on the shores of Loch Ness. Discover 1,000 years of drama, experience a glimpse of medieval life and enjoy stunning views over Loch Ness from the ruins of the greatest castle in the Highlands. This is where St Columba is said to have worked miracles in the 6th century, where acts of chivalry and defiance provided inspiration during the Wars of Independence and where the MacDonald Lords of the Isles struggled with the Crown for power. The visitor centre is fully accessible and there is a photographic guide for those who have mobility issues. Disability buggies are available on request.\nDrumnadrochit, Inverness, Inverness-shire,\nBen Aigan lies to the east of Rothes, the north east of Craigellachie and to the east of the River Spey which flows along the foot of its western and northern slopes. Rising to a height of 471m (1546 ft) and extensively forested apart from the summit cone, the top of Ben Aigan provides magnificent views over Speyside, south to Ben Rinnes and north over the Moray Firth to the hills of Sutherland.\nBen Avon is the most easterly mountain of the main Cairngorm range. It occupies a vast area to the north-east of Glen Quoich stretching towards Inchrory and the River Gairn, and it is recognisable from many viewpoints across Moray by the granite tors on the skyline of its long flat plateau.\nThe mountain is popular with hikers with the sight from the summit that is described as truly amazing. The mountain is 20 km\u00b2 in total and is located 8 km southwest of Dufftown. The mountain has one main path and can be easily accessed from the nearby car park. The Friends of Ben Rinnes program has been working on the paths to make it more accessible to the public and to prevent further erosion.\nBin Hill of Cullen\nThe distinctive conical outline of Mt. Morven - at 2,313ft.(706m) is easy to spot. Looking East, you can see Portsoy and Troup Head. To the South East lies the bulk of Knock Hill at 1,410ft (430m). The Cairngorm Mts. lie to the South West. Looking westwards along the Moray Coast you can see the curve of the bay at Lossiemouth. Below you lie Cullen, the viaducts, Cullen House and the Auld Kirk.",

We are currently trying to boost the use of the of the AVR microcontrollers from ATMEL, as they are easy to use, and have massive support by high quality software tools from a free software community.\nThe Microcontroller effort of HOPE currently include:\nA programming interface for the 8-bit Atmel microcontrollers, also known as AVR-processors\nA carrier-PCB for the atMEGA128 microcontroller, with integrated crystal and programming interface\nA guide for using the atmega128 and atMEGA8 in your own designs (Not yet written)\nComplex Programmable Logic Devices (CPLDs) are low-cost devices that can implement combinatorial logic functions, as well as simple sequential logic (e.g. counters and primitive state-machines).\nDepending on the type, a CPLD can replace anything from 1 to more than 20 classic TTL or CMOS type IC's in a design. The programmable nature of CPLD's give the added advantage of beeing able to choose your own pin-configuration, making it very simple to fit a CPLD in your circuit board.\nThe CPLD effort of HOPE include:\nA Xilinx compatible JTAG interface for programming Xilinx CPLD's\nA Demo board for XC9536-PC44 and XC9572-PC44 CPLDs\nDesign tips for using Xilinx CPLD's in your own circuits\nA guide for downloading and using the appropriate programming software\nUsing the JTAG interface, any Xilinx CPLD can easily be included in your design. Check the posibilities at the Xilinx CPLD page\nField Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are related to CPLD's, but are far more complex, allowing very complicated sequential logic (e.g. microprocessors) to be implemented.\nWe have a great deal of experience with Xilinx XC4000 and Spartan II series of FPGA's, and are preparing a Spartan III effort.\nFPAAs\nField Programmable Analog Arrays (FPAA's) are analog counterparts of FPGA's, allowing analog circuits, such as amplifiers and filters to be implemented for LF applications. The FPAA technology is in its early stages compared to its digital counterparts, but the technology is promising and has a lot of interesting applications.\nWe are currently considering a FPAA effort",

Our collective success generates billions in tax revenue \u2013 but this operating income must be carefully managed to fund essential services, invest in future growth and provide a safe and stable infrastructure for all Austinites. Once projects and initiatives are funded, they must be implemented in a timely and efficient manner, then checked afterward to ensure they are productive and beneficial to the public.\nThe busiest time of the budget process is late summer to early fall, when the city manager\u2019s office works closely with the Council and the departments to enact a balanced budget by the beginning of the fiscal year.\nThe City of Austin's annual budget consists of two primary components: the Operating Budget and the Capital Budget.\nThe operating budget is funded primarily through local property and sales taxes along with several other sources. The budget covers one fiscal year, which begins Oct. 1.\nThe Capital Budget funds major improvements to City facilities and infrastructure. The money for these improvements comes from bonds, grants, cash and some smaller sources of funding. Learn more about the difference between the two budget components here.\nEvery year the budget process begins in mid-April with a budget outreach effort. Residents can learn more about the budget process by watching our Budget Basics video and delving into details reviewing department-level forecast presentations and publications.\nFor more information about budget development and budget documents, visit Austin Finance Online.\nCapital Planning Budget\nThe City of Austin regularly undertakes projects to improve public facilities and infrastructure for the benefit of citizens. Collectively, these projects are referred to as the Capital Improvements Program (CIP). Projects in the CIP may include the construction and renovation of city facilities, such as recreation centers and libraries; repaving of streets; replacement of water and wastewater lines; and provision of power to residents. For more information, visit the Capital Planning Office website.\nThe Capital Planning Office produces a Year-End Update and an annually updated five-year Capital Improvements Program Plan.",

Ten Pounds or Ten Minutes?\nYou do not get a crisis situation much more desperate than a race to save a child\u2019s life, do you? Suppose you were asked to do something within your power that could save a sick child, would not you be racing off to this urgent need? Of course, you would.\nBut then you are interrupted. You are held back because someone else needs your attention! Another person is demanding something from you. Would not you be tempted to beg them, \u201cjust wait there and I shall get back you as soon as I can?\u201d Or \u201cplease go to someone else because I am on an emergency call?\u201d Of course, you would. Anyone would. Except, apparently, Jesus, who had presumably never heard of the triage system\u2026\u2026\nAnd in this story, it looks as though Jesus did not really need to stop anyway. The woman was healed, was not she? Simply by touching the hem of his cloak her problem was sorted. She could have gone home, and Jesus could have moved on. Why stop?\nThe woman\u2019s situation was more complicated than it sounds. Having been in a state of perpetual menstrual bleeding for 12 years, she was not only physically drained. The religious and hygiene laws of her society rendered her ritually unclean, which meant that no-one could touch her or touch anything she had touched. So, for 12 years she had lived in physical isolation. No-one could give her a hug, no-one could hold her hand, no-one could sit down to a meal with her and any kind of sexual activity was out of the question. The psychological effects must have been as devastating as the physical. And now this woman had dared to touch the clothes of a holy man which meant that, strictly speaking she had rendered him unclean. If this woman were to be truly healed, she needed Jesus\u2019 reassurance that it was OK. She needed mental, emotional and spiritual healing. Or the physical healing would have done her no good. That was why Jesus stopped to give her his blessing. But he was still taking a risk with the sick child\u2026..\nYears ago, a colleague of mine spoke on this story,pointing out that even as Jesus was being pulled in two directions at once, both desperately urgent, sufficient time and strength were still given. So, may we, he suggested, also trust God to give us time and strength when we are confronted with one too many crisis situations?\nI have lost count of the number of times I have proved my colleague right. I have been working flat out to meet a deadline which, if I miss it, will let other people down as well as myself and then a desperate pastoral need has presented itself and I have had to leave the one situation to attend to the other with no time even to pray anything more than \u201cGod, my friend had better be right about this;\u201d and he has been. Miraculously the time and strength are given. And I am not the only one. I have also lost count of the number of people who have also told of how they have been given the strength and the guidance to cope with unexpected cries for help arising in their already hectic lives.\nThis is a very powerful story of Jesus being enabled to give generously to those who desperately needed him because he trusted that he would receive all he needed to do so. And he was to tell his followers, \u201cFreely you have received. Now, freely give.\u201d\nBut it was the Cub leader in my very first church, thirty- three years ago, who told me that when it came to getting help from the boys\u2019 parents, she found it far easier to get \u00a310 than 10 minutes. People were so busy and their time was in shorter supply than their money. That was thirty-three years ago. Things are much worse now. Life for most people in the UK has steadily become more and more pressurised. Ask any of our uniformed groups, of our church run activities and you will hear the same story-that people simply do not have the time they once had to give.\nThis is why I wanted-during our exploring of the Holy habit of Giving, to look at the giving of time as well as money. When the Guides were preparing our Harvest Festival Service, they used the phrase \u201csharing is caring,\u201d wanting to point out that this it did not only apply to money. In giving time to share our stories with one another, we are also giving care. The woman in the story needed those precious moments of Jesus\u2019 time to reassure her as much as she needed his healing power. We have known that a gift of time when you are in a bad place is easily as precious as money. People who listen to you, talk with you, make a space for you to come into, can do you as much good as anti-biotics and tranquillizers. They can even do you as much good as a shopping trip to Bluewater\u2026.\nWe would agree, wouldn\u2019t we, that giving time to the work of God in creating worship, in developing faith, in offering pastoral care, in providing opportunities for personal and community growth through Toddlers, Babies, Friendship Club, Men of Leisure, Scouting and Guiding Groups is easily as important as the money we give to our church. Hopefully you have noticed that now, as our Offering of money is being taken up during a service, there are slides on the screens suggesting ways in which we might give time.\nYet, despite what my colleague said about time and strength being given as we need, it is not always so straightforward. Responding to a short-term, immediate crisis is one thing. Responding to long-term need is another. Our time and strength are not limitless.\nLook at the news headlines of tragic mistakes made in hospitals because the staff and the resources are simply overstretched. Look at the stories of vulnerable children being abused by their families because Social Workers, despite being aware of dangerous situations, did not have enough staff to cope with the workload. Men and women in every profession, including Christian ministry, are warned of the dangers of \u201cburnout,\u201d where you are pushed or push yourself too hard and end up unable to do your job at all.\nThe Gospel story made it clear that even Jesus knew what it was to feel drained of strength. He knew that some of his healing power had gone from him when that woman touched him. He was not firing on all cylinders twenty-four hours per day.\nAnd Moses, as we heard earlier, despite being totally committed to the work to which God had called him, was clearly suffering from burnout. He simply could not keep up with the needs and the demands of his people.\nSo when it comes to giving our time, can God supply us with the strength we need, not only for immediate crises but through years and years of hectic, pressurised living?\nThe Bible makes it clear that life is a gift of God to us; that time is a gift of God to us; that our abilities are gifts of God to us. It also makes it clear that at the end of the day we are accountable to God for the way we have used his gifts. You may feel that the lurid descriptions of the Last Judgement and the hurling of wrongdoers into burning pits are somewhat overdrawn and unhelpful but even leaving these aside, if there is a God who is worthy to be called God then this God must surely be the giver of life. And if this God is as passionately involved with the human race as the Bible says He is, then what he wants for us must be the very best for us. So what God will want to know is whether the way we have used our time and strength is the way that has made us happier and better people and the world a happier and better place.\nRemember Jesus\u2019 story about the talents? The three servants, who were each trusted with different amounts of money to use whilst their Master was away? (Bit like a Biblical version of The Apprentice). Each servant started from a different place but was expected to find a personal vision of what they were to do with what they had been given. The man who was given the smallest amount of money hid it in the ground and made no attempt to use it because he had no faith in his master\u2019s good judgement and no faith in himself. And yes, like Alan Sugar, the Master said, in effect, \u201cYou\u2019re fired!\u201d But it is a sad story rather than a threatening one.\nJesus did appear to have a limitless supply of power and patience but if you look at the way he lived his life from day to day, he was not involved 24/7 in sorting out other people\u2019s physical, mental and spiritual needs. He would regularly take himself off to a quiet place for prayer and silence. He would spend time relaxing over a meal with his friends. I could not believe what I was hearing last May at the URC Minister\u2019s Conference when Rowan Williams, former Archbishop of Canterbury, published poet, acclaimed academic, author of innumerable books, when speaking of the pressures of Christian ministry, advised us to \u201ctake some time simply to sit on the sofa watching a box set on the television.\u201d I cannot imagine how Rowan Williams even finds time to eat and sleep let alone watch television, but this was what he said, and he is not the kind of man who will expect you to do as he says rather than as he does.\nIs this then just about \u201cme time\u201d and how to gain more of it? No, there is a lot more to time that. Simply thinking \u201cMe time,\u201d can make us feel sorry for ourselves because our lives are so hectic and resentful of all these people who keep demanding something from us which is why we have to grab back \u201cme time.\u201d Personally, I do not find either self-pity or resentment constructive emotions.\nWhat we learn from Jesus is what a life totally committed to God looks like. And it does not mean spending all your time in church, nor does it mean spending all your time looking after other people. What it means is dedicating your diary to God; asking for guidance in your long-term planning and your over-all priorities; looking to God to show you (a) why you are here and (b) how you can so order your life that you fulfil the reason for your existence. Jesus was here to reconcile people to God, put them in touch with God and his time for prayer and stillness; his time spent relaxing with friends; his time spent learning carpentry from his father, talking about sheep with local shepherds, about the market with travelling merchants were all activities that combined to make his ministry more effective and so his life more fulfilled.\nIf we are to be given the time and power we need to live out our lives to the full, then we need to start with the conviction that our life, our time and our strength are gifts of God and that it is to God we must look, hour by hour, day by day, to set our priorities. We need to trust that, if we are where God intends us to be, we shall be given strength, time and direction as we need it. For faith in God gives us faith in ourselves. Faith in God gives us faith in life. Jesus told us to look first for the kingdom of God-the world as God wants it to be; and for God\u2019s righteousness-ourselves as God wants us to be; and everything else will fall into place.\nIt may not always feel as though it is, but it will.\nBeing asked to give our lives totally over to God sounds like a tall order and we might wonder whether it will all be worth it in the end?\nI would like to leave you with the thought of two huge blessings that come to us as we give our time to God.\nFirst, the blessing of community. Moses was reminded that he did not need to fulfil his ministry for God all alone. There were others called and equipped by God to support him if he would but see this. It is interesting to note that the story of Jesus hurrying to meet the desperate needs of both the sick child and the sick woman is followed in chapter 9 of Luke\u2019s Gospel by his sending out of his disciples to preach and teach and heal. God calls his people to work in community so that they are saved from burn out and also from the dangers of arrogance- I am the only person who can do this and there is my way of doing it and the wrong way. We are not called to be the last person left in The Apprentice, the great Winner but to discover the support, inspiration, the blessed comradeship of serving with others.\nAnd second, in A.J.Cronin\u2019s book \u201cThe Citadel\u201d Andrew Manson is working as a newly qualified Doctor. After his high ideals at college he becomes depressed and frustrated with the more mundane routine; the continual giving out of repeat medicines and certificates for being off work; the petty concerns of hypochondriacs; the living conditions that cause sickness but no-one seems able or willing to change them. He is exhausted and fed up. Then one night he is called to a woman who is about to give birth to the child she has waited for, for more than twenty years. It is a long, gruelling night and it looks as though the child is born dead. But Manson manages to save both child and mother. As he staggers home at dawn, the one exultant thought in his mind is \u201cthank God. I\u2019ve done something real at last.\u201d All the years of study and the dreary routine work have brought him to the place where he can save life.\nI guess that, at the end of the day, this is what God will hope to hear from us- that no matter what our profession, what our family situation, what our bank balance, what our gifts and what our weaknesses, we can look at him and say, \u201cThank you for a life in which You have enabled me to do something real.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Steve McQueen's New Movie About Female Thieves Sounds Awesome\nWillie Grace | 11/21/2014, 11 a.m. | Updated on 11/21/2014, 11 a.m.\nWith Hunger, Shame and most recently 12 Years A Slave, director Steve McQueen has proven himself incredibly skilled where it comes to making dark dramas that claw at the audience's emotional soul, but for his next project he will be working with material just a shade lighter. After telling stories of hunger strikes, sex addiction and slavery, he's ready to tell a story about a group of women teaming up for a heist.\nThe Hollywood Reporter has the news that director Steve McQueen has chosen his next project to follow the Best Picture Academy Award-winning 12 Years A Slave, and it will be a big screen version of Widows - based on the 1983 British television series of the same name. Said to be a project with dominant themes of female empowerment, the story begins when a group of men who are killed while attempting a dangerous heist. In the wake of this, the criminals' surviving wives discover their detailed plans and decide to team up and pull off the job themselves. There will be a few changes made from the original, including the plot unfolding in the setting of a modern United States city. Also, while the show only had three central characters, the feature version will be bumping that number up to four.\nSteve McQueen has been a fan of Widows for a long time - it having been first released when he was a teenager - and he is at a point in his career where he believes it can be made. Originally the property's rights were owned by Disney, but they were recently sold to New Regency - which was the studio that took a chance on McQueen's vision and helped him make 12 Years A Slave (a controversial project in its inception). McQueen will be writing the screenplay for the movie himself, and will also be producing alongside The King's Speech's Iain Canning and Emile Sherman. It's expected that the title will change before the movie hits theaters.\nAt this point it's hard to say exactly how quickly this project will come together, but if all of the pieces can be put in place to start production next year we could see Widows (or whatever it ends up being called) somewhere on the 2016 release schedule. Hopefully we'll start hearing casting rumors soon, as one can imagine every age-appropriate actress in Hollywood wanting to be a part of this film. That being said, we can also probably bank on Michael Fassbender playing a role, given that he has had large roles in all of McQueen's films thus far. Maybe this time around he'll just have a brief appearance, playing one of the husbands that are killed in the opening sequence. It certainly would be an interesting cameo.\n12 Years a Slave - A Will to Live\n'Widows' Plots Crime Thriller with More Valleys Than Peaks\nSteve Mcqueen and Chiwetel Ejiofor Talk 12 Years a Slave\nKanye West's \"All Day\" Video Coming to U.S. Saturday",

The Justice of the Peace sentenced them each to two years probation, five years prohibition preventing them owning or caring for animals and they are subject to unannounced inspections. They were also ordered to pay $416 in restitution to the North Bay & District Humane Society.\nOn January 5, 2018, an Ontario SPCA officer with the North Bay & District Humane Society attended a residence in Sturgeon Falls after a concern was reported about the welfare of a dog. The officer observed a dog with red, inflamed ears that smelled strongly of yeast. The dog\u2019s paws were also red and raw, with fur missing. Ontario SPCA Orders were issued to the owner to have their dog seen by a veterinarian.\nWhen the owner failed to comply with that order, a search warrant was executed on the property. The dog was removed from the care of Seguin and Auclair and taken to a veterinarian. An examination revealed the dog was underweight and was suffering from severe flea allergy dermatitis and severe yeast infections in both ears. The dog was treated by a veterinarian and later re-homed by the North Bay & District Humane Society.\n\u201cAssuming the care of an animal means assuming full responsibility for providing all care necessary to that animal,\u201d says Lynn Michaud, Senior Inspector, Ontario SPCA. \u201cAllowing any animal to suffer needlessly for any reason is inexcusable.\u201d\nOntario SPCA Inspector, North Bay & District Humane Society",

Where does power reside today, and what tactics and media should artists and activists adopt in response?\nDrawing upon histories of hacktivism, performance, theater, art, and revolution, Ian Alan Paul will engage in a conversation with the Electronic Disturbance Theater, a group that has played an instrumental role in the development of and experimentation with tactical media since their founding in 1997. Reflecting on past tactical media projects and speculating about the particular configuration of contemporary political struggles, the speakers and those in attendance will attempt to answer the question: \"What futures exist for Tactical Media today?\"\nThe Electronic Disturbance Theater (EDT) is an electronic company of cyber activists, critical theorists, and performance artists who engage in the development of both the theory and practice of non-violent acts of defiance across and between digital and non-digital spaces.

        "title": "After 20 Years on the Computer, I Wrote a Handwritten Letter - Taking On Healthy\u2122",
        "raw_content": "I\u2019ll be the first to admit it \u2014 I\u2019m a tech nerd. I\u2019m the first one to try the latest piece of technology, which hasn\u2019t always been a good thing. My techy past has laid waste to mountains of obsolete word processors, computers, phones, MP3 players and just about anything else that plugged into an outlet. I\u2019ve learned over the years that the latest and the greatest isn\u2019t always that great. Just ask my Rio Karma, which was popular for 20 minutes in the early 2000s. I could probably buy a new car with all the money I would have saved not being the first to the gadget parade.\nMy point is, I\u2019m connected to my technology. My computer is everything. All my files are there. I actually back up my data. I have a mirrored drive. I have cloud storage. I am invincible. Or at least I thought I was until I wandered into the paper store at the mall.\nMy computer is everything.\nFor the first time in a long time, I experienced the tactile satisfaction of real stationery in my hands. It took me back years to when paper was a thing. There were so many choices: colored, foiled, embossed, die-cut. Right then and there, I decided I was going to handwrite a letter. I imagined what it would be like to receive an actual letter on this beautiful stationery \u2014 not just a card, but a real letter.\nI bought three different boxes of stationery and headed home with renewed vigor \u2014 I was going to be the next Hemingway. I was going to write longhand letters that would resound throughout history and become revered as important works of art. I opened the box, carefully removed a sheet of the pristine paper, and picked up a pen \u2014 and something amazing happened.\nI couldn\u2019t figure out what to write, and I\u2019m never at a loss for words.\nI couldn\u2019t figure out what to write. I call it amazing because I am never at a loss for words. But here I was with pen and paper, afraid to begin writing \u2014 because if I messed up, I\u2019d have to start again. There was no backspace to delete mistakes. I couldn\u2019t erase the pen. I pictured myself tearing through all three boxes of expensive stationery. I froze. This suddenly seemed like a really bad idea.\nI threw a side glance at my computer. After all, that was the culprit. I had become so used to the safety net of backspace, delete and paste, I never had to fully compose thoughts in my head anymore. I remembered talking to a friend about our phones and how we used to know all our friends\u2019 phone numbers by heart. Not anymore. While technology provided so many important solutions, it had created problems of its own. As I Googled around, I found that I was not alone. Too much reliance on technology can cause certain critical-thinking patterns to become, well, lazy. I took a step back and decided that I was not going to allow a task as simple as writing a letter leave me defeated, surrounded by a mountain of the world\u2019s most expensive balled-up stationery.\nI gave myself free rein to just explore my own creativity,\nI darted to my printer and grabbed a cheap piece of scratch paper out of the tray. I outlined my initial thoughts. I scratched them out and outlined them again. I doodled cat cartoons. I scribbled things out. I jotted down childhood memories. For about 45 minutes, I gave myself free rein to just explore my own creativity, and it was wonderful. When I finished, I had enough fodder for five letters!\nI took a sheet of the pristine stationery and composed my first handwritten letter in over 20 years. And while it wasn\u2019t the masterpiece I was hoping for, I got a call from my sister after she received the letter letting me know how much she enjoyed reading it. In fact, she was even inspired to write me back.\nMy sister loved the letter. She even wrote me back!\nThat was over a year ago. Today, I have a shelf of stationery in my library and writing a letter is no longer a source of angst. I don\u2019t need scratch paper, and I can fire off a well-crafted letter in 30 minutes. The benefits have been twofold: I get to spend quiet time alone while focusing on one important person in my life. Plus, now I receive letters in the mail again instead of just bills, and that alone is worth the price of stationery.",

        "raw_content": "More On Uniform Circular Motion\nNewton's 1st Law of motion states that an object moving at constant speed will continue in that motion unless acted on by an outside force. A 'center seeking' force is required to cause an object to move in a circle. Centripetal means 'center seeking'. When someone (maybe even a lizard!) spins a ball attached to a rope horizontally about his head, it is a centripetal force transmitted through the rope from the muscles of the hand and arm that causes the ball to move in a circular path. Centripetal forces cause centripetal accelerations. In the special case of the Earth's circular motion around the Sun, or any satellite's circular motion around any celestial body; the centripetal force causing that motion is the result of the gravitational attraction between them.\nThe arrows or vectors show the direction of the circular velocity (tangent to the circular path) and the circular acceleration caused by a centripetal force. Centripetal means center-seeking. Centripetal forces are always directed toward the center of the circular path.\nhttp://www.glenbrook.k12.il.us/gbssci/phys/mmedia/circmot/ucm.html\nAcceleration is the rate of change in velocity of an object. Velocity is determined by dividing the distance travelled by the time interval it took to cover that distance. In the special case of circular motion, the distance covered is the circumference of a circle or 2'pi'r. The time interval for an object to travel once around its circular path is called the period and is represented by T.\nThe equation for centripetal acceleration is:\n\u0003 The equation for centripetal force is :\nClick here for a quiz on uniform circular motion.\nReturn to the experiment to send the probe to Cyg X-1",

        "raw_content": "Commentary: The Next Supreme Court Justice Must Uphold the Principles of Individual Liberty\nBy Natalia Castro\nEach year on Independence Day, we celebrate the historic achievement our Founding Fathers made when they left an oppressive government to form a new country based around the principles of freedom. The Founding Fathers learned from the actions of their previous government and, after outlining the principles of equality and justice in the Declaration of Independence, created a new government which protected every individual\u2019s right to \u201clife, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.\u201d\nToday, we cannot forget why our Founding Fathers left their previous government and why we must continue protecting our liberties with a Supreme Court candidate who sees the value in individual freedom as much today as our Founding Fathers did over 200 years ago.\nPilgrims boarded the Mayflower in search of religious freedom.\nEnglish common law made criticizing the government in print a crime in the colonies.\nIn 1733, John Peter Zenger was arrested for writing critical articles against the British Governor of New York.\nBefore the Revolutionary War, the British placed a ban on imported firearms and gunpowder.\nThese are only some examples of the very reasons our Founding Fathers desired independence. These are also some of the reasons why the Bill of Rights was crafted into our Constitution. As Thomas Jefferson noted in December 1787, \u201c[A] bill of rights is what the people are entitled to against every government on earth, general or particular, and what no just government should refuse.\u201d\nThe concept was simple; we must create a government that cannot limit the basic rights of the people because this is the slippery slope to limiting all of the rights of the people.\nAll too often on my college campus, I hear students claim the principles of our Founding Fathers are \u201coutdated\u201d and that constitutionalists are simply \u201cliving in the past.\u201d But as former President Ronald Reagan once said, \u201cFreedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We did not pass it to our children in the bloodstream.\u201d\nIn this last Supreme Court term, we saw attacks on freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of association, and many more. Meanwhile, policy objectives on the left include bans on certain firearms and limiting an individual\u2019s ability to defend themselves freely.\nThere is always an adversary looking to limit freedom, and our surest line of defense is the Constitution.\nThe American people must realize that had the Supreme Court forced the Masterpiece Cakeshop in Colorado to design a cake for a gay couple despite their religious objection; there would be no stopping a group from forcing a Jewish company to design Nazi propaganda. The freedom to practice one\u2019s religion freely would be removed; the exact reason pilgrims traveled to this new land.\nSimilarly, the Supreme Court ruling in Janus v. AFSCME ensures government employees do not have to pay into unions that do not represent them, protecting the right of every individual to speak for themselves and not be forced into association with a group they do not believe in. The right to speak critically of any group without fearing repercussions has the same basis today as it did in colonial America.\nThe limitation, even in a small way, of any individual right creates an easy slope toward limiting all our rights.\nBeing a constitutionalist does not mean defending the Republican Party, it means defending freedom, just like our Founding Fathers did generations before us. They knew the government would not be perfect, but they believed in the people\u2019s freedom to pursue perfection in their own lives.\nWhen looking for our next Supreme Court justice, President Trump must look toward an individual who upholds the principles of individual liberty. This basic idea was the foundation of the Declaration of Independence and must continue to be the foundation of our country.\nNatalia Castro is a contributing editor at Americans for Limited Government.\nAppeared at and reprinted from DailyTorch.com\nCommentary, Newsoriginalist, SCOTUS, Supreme Court, textualist\nPompeo: North Korea Can Replicate Vietnam\u2019s Ties with US\nSpecial Counsel Robert Mueller Will NOT Present \u2018Collusion\u2019 Evidence at Manafort Trial",

        "raw_content": "There can\u2019t be many children who dream of one day becoming a funeral director and, indeed, it wasn\u2019t a career which Stephen Tester thought about when he was young. Instead, he knew he wanted to work outdoors and fancied becoming a game keeper or a forest ranger.\nStephen was born and brought up in Crowborough and is part of a family who has lived here for many generations. He went to school at Beacon.\nStephen\u2019s first job did, indeed, seeing him working outside, as he began work on a farm in Eridge. After a while, he joined Millbrook Garden Centre as a landscape gardener and, while there, the company supported him in completing a landscaping course at Merrist Wood College near Guildford.\n\u201cI was fulfilling my dream of being outdoors and enjoyed working with my hands,\u201d says Stephen.\nAt that time, a funeral director in Crowborough, approached Stephen to see if he could assist in fitting some memorials.\n\u201cI\u2019d got quite good at building garden walls and laying patios,\u201d says Stephen. \u201cFitting memorials required similar skills, so I agreed.\u201d\nAs time went by, Stephen was offered a full-time role with the funeral director, initially continuing to fit memorials and, later, managing the memorial side of the business, which was his first office-based role.\nDuring that time, Stephen met Glenys Jones, who also worked there and who he would eventually set up the business with in 2004.\n\u201cI wanted to offer a funeral service which was accessible to people, welcoming and not scary, modern but built on traditional values,\u201d says Stephen.\nLooking back over the past 13 years, Stephen says he\u2019s proud of what he and Glenys have achieved.\n\u201cWe are extremely grateful to the people of Crowborough for having faith in us and supporting us, particularly at the beginning,\u201d he says. \u201cWe couldn\u2019t have done it without them. We never fail to feel proud when a family choses us to look after a funeral for them.\u201d\nStephen is still very much part of the Crowborough community and continues to live in the town. He was a member of Rotary for many years, and now, along with Glenys, he is an active member of Crowborough Lions, while the business is also part of Crowborough and District Chamber of Commerce.\nAt the weekends, he\u2019s often away in his motor home \u2013 enjoying country walks and a pint of beer at which ever local pub he\u2019s staying near.\nWhile Tester & Jones hasn\u2019t altered its approach, Stephen says he\u2019s witnessed many changes in the funeral business in the UK.\n\u201cPeople are asking us for a variety of different types of service \u2013 such as natural burials - and there\u2019s been an increase in non-religious services,\u201d he says. \u201cThe pre-paid funeral market has grown too.\u201d\nHe adds: \u201cWhile we\u2019ve always been incredibly proud of being independent, it is something which has become more important to me over the years. I\u2019ve found I\u2019m really passionate about it now and I\u2019ve got more involved with SAIF (The National Society of Allied and Independent Funeral Directors).\u201d\nStephen is also keen to support professional development in the industry and, to this end, has got involved with the Independent Funeral Directors (IFD) College, helping to mark papers.\n\u201cI really care about our business, but I also care about the industry and if I can make a difference and encourage the next generation of funeral directors, then I will,\u201d he says.\nStephen says that the last 13 years have been hard work but \u2018worth it\u2019.\nHe adds: \u201cI don\u2019t think we\u2019ve changed our approach at all since the day we opened \u2013 we always wanted to offer a personal service and we\u2019ve continued to provide that. We\u2019ve both remained very hands-on in the business and I don\u2019t see this changing for a good while yet.\u201d\nPosted: 1st of February 2018",

For a corporation to pay a cash dividend, it must have:\n\u2192 Retained earnings: The legality of a cash dividend depends on the laws of the state in which the company is incorporated. Payment of cash dividends from retained earnings is legal in all states. In general, cash dividend distributions from only the balance in common stock (legal capital) are illegal.\n\u2192 Liquidating dividend: A dividend declared out of paid-in capital is termed a liquidating dividend. Such a dividend reduces or \u201cliquidates\u201d the amount originally paid in by stockholders. Statues vary considerable with respect to cash dividends based on paid-in capital in excess of par or stated value. Many states permit such dividends.\n\u2192 Adequate cash: The legality of a dividend and the ability to pay a dividend are two different things. For example, Nike, with retained earnings of over $3 billion, could legally declare a dividend of at least $3 billion. But Nike\u2019s cash balance is only $193 million.\nBefore declaring a cash dividend, a company\u2019s board of directors must carefully consider both current and future demands on the company\u2019s cash resources.\n\u2192 A declaration of cash dividends: A company does not pay dividends unless its board of directors decides to do so, at which point the board \u201cdeclares\u201d the dividend. The board of directors has full authority to determine the amount of income to distribute in the form of a dividend and the amount to retain in the business. Dividends do not accrue like interest on a note payable, and they are not a liability until declared.\nThe amount and timing of a dividend are important issues. The payment of a large cash dividend could lead to liquidity problems for a company. On the other hand, a small dividend or a missed dividend may cause unhappiness among stockholders. Many stockholders expect to receive a reasonable cash payment fr4om the company on a periodic basis.\nPreparing the Statement of Cash Flows\nPrevious: \u2190 Dividend\nNext: Dates for dividend declaration \u2192\nThe face value is the amount of principal the issuing company must pay at eh maturity ...\nMaterials price variance is the difference between the actual quantity times the actual ...\nUnder the straight-line method, companies expense the same amount of depreciation for ...\nArithmetic mean is an average found by adding the numbers in an array and dividing by ...",

        "raw_content": "Aylesbury\u2019s \u00a31.7 billion Mortgage Powder Keg\nEight years ago, in the summer of 2007, hardly anyone had heard of the term \u2018credit crunch\u2019, but now the expression has entered our daily language and even the Oxford Dictionary. It took a few months throughout the autumn of 2007, before the crunch started to hit the Aylesbury Property market, but in November / December 2007, and for the following seventeen months, Aylesbury property values dropped each and every month like the proverbial stone. The Bank of England soon realised in the late summer of 2008 that the British economy was stalling under the continued pressure of the Credit Crunch. Therefore, between October 2008 and March 2009, interest rates dropped six times in six months from 5% to 0.5% to try and stimulate the British economy.\nThankfully, after a period of stagnation, the Aylesbury property market started to recover slowly in 2010, but really took off strongly in late 2013 / early 2014 as property prices started to rocket. However, the heat was taken out of the market in late 2014/early 2015, with the new mortgage lending rules and some uncertainty, when some people had a dose of pre\u2013election nerves.\nWith the Conservatives having been re-elected in May, the Aylesbury property market regained its composure and in fact, there has been some ferocious competition among mortgage lenders, which has driven mortgage rates to record lows. Whilst I have no actual figures to back this up, I know an awful lot of long serving bank managers, mortgage arrangers and people in the finance industry, all of whom have told me on previous occasions when interest rates rose (1987, 1992, 1997 and 2003), it wasn\u2019t the first rate rise that was the catalyst for many homeowners and landlords to remortgage but the second or third increase. The reason being that it was only by the time of the third rate rise that it started to hit the wallet. However by the time of the second or third rate rise the best fixed rates, were in all instances, no longer available as they had been pulled by the banks months before.\nBut here is the good news for Aylesbury homeowners and landlords, over the last few months a mortgage price war has broken out between lenders, with many slashing the rates on their deals to the lowest they have ever offered. I read that the well respected UK financial website Moneyfacts said only a couple of weeks ago, the average two year fixed rate mortgage has fallen from 3.6% twelve months ago to just under 2.8%.\nInterestingly, according to the Council of Mortgage Lenders, the level of mortgage lending had soared to a seven year high in the UK. So what about Aylesbury? In Aylesbury, if you added up everyone\u2019s mortgage, it would total \u00a31.7 billion. Even more interesting is when we look at Aylesbury and split it down into the individual areas of the town,\nHP17 - Aston Sandford, Bishopstone, Butler's Cross, Dinton, Dorton, Ellesborough, Ford, The Kimbles, Kingsey, Haddenham, Meadle, Nash Lee, Stone, Upton, Westlington \u00a3254.7m\nHP18 - Ashendon, Boarstall, Brill, Chearsley, Chilton, Cuddington, Dorton, Easington, Edgcott, Grendon Underwood, Ickford, Kingswood, Long Crendon, Lower Winchendon, Ludgershall, Oakley, Shabbington, Upper Winchendon, Waddesdon, Westcott, Worminghall, Wotton Underwood \u00a3401.7m\nHP 19 - Fairford Leys, Prebendal Farm, Quarrendon, Watermead \u00a3456.3m\nHP20 - Aylesbury Town Centre, Broughton, Elmhurst \u00a3205.7m\nHP21 - Bedgrove, Elm Farm, Queens Park, Southcourt, Walton, Walton Court \u00a3540.6m\nHP22 - Aston Abbotts, Aston Clinton, Bierton, Buckland, Drayton Beauchamp, Dunsmore, Halton, Hardwick, Hulcott, North Lee, Nup End, Oving, Pitchcott, Quainton, Rowsham, Stoke Mandeville, Weedon, Wendover, Weston Turville, Whitchurch, Wingrave \u00a3585.4m\nSince 1971, the average interest rate has been 7.93%, making the current 0.5% very low. So, if interest rates were to rise by only 2%, according to my research, the 6,793 Aylesbury homeowners, who have a variable rate mortgage will on average have to pay an additional \u00a3238 a month in interest payments.\nI know over the last couple of posts, I have talked about mortgages a lot however, I am not a mortgage arranger but a letting agent and as regular readers know, I always talk about what I consider to be the most important issues when it comes to the Aylesbury Property market and at the moment, in my humble opinion, this is the most important thing!\nBuy to let is all about maximising your investment, increasing income and reducing costs. I give advice, opinions, thoughts, concerns, worries, expectations and fears about the Aylesbury Property market in my blog on the Aylesbury Property Blog. If you are interested in the Aylesbury Property Market you could do worse than read my Blog to keep informed of market trends. http://theaylesburypropertyblog.blogspot.co.uk/ Or you could drop in and see me when you are next passing 5 Temple Street Aylesbury",

        "raw_content": "Read Nehemiah 11\nTime Passes; Heads of Provinces\nNow the leaders of the people lived in Jerusalem, but the rest of the people cast lots to bring one out of ten to live in Jerusalem, the holy city, while nine-tenths remained in the other cities. And the people blessed all the men who volunteered to live in Jerusalem.\nNow these are the heads of the provinces who lived in Jerusalem, but in the cities of Judah each lived on his own property in their cities\u2014the Israelites, the priests, the Levites, the temple servants and the descendants of Solomon\u2019s servants. Some of the sons of Judah and some of the sons of Benjamin lived in Jerusalem. From the sons of Judah: Athaiah the son of Uzziah, the son of Zechariah, the son of Amariah, the son of Shephatiah, the son of Mahalalel, of the sons of Perez; and Maaseiah the son of Baruch, the son of Col-hozeh, the son of Hazaiah, the son of Adaiah, the son of Joiarib, the son of Zechariah, the son of the Shilonite. All the sons of Perez who lived in Jerusalem were 468 able men.\nNow these are the sons of Benjamin: Sallu the son of Meshullam, the son of Joed, the son of Pedaiah, the son of Kolaiah, the son of Maaseiah, the son of Ithiel, the son of Jeshaiah; and after him Gabbai and Sallai, 928. Joel the son of Zichri was their overseer, and Judah the son of Hassenuah was second in command of the city.\nFrom the priests: Jedaiah the son of Joiarib, Jachin, Seraiah the son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the leader of the house of God, and their kinsmen who performed the work of the temple, 822; and Adaiah the son of Jeroham, the son of Pelaliah, the son of Amzi, the son of Zechariah, the son of Pashhur, the son of Malchijah, and his kinsmen, heads of fathers\u2019 households, 242; and Amashsai the son of Azarel, the son of Ahzai, the son of Meshillemoth, the son of Immer, and their brothers, valiant warriors, 128. And their overseer was Zabdiel, the son ofHaggedolim.\nNow from the Levites: Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Bunni; and Shabbethai and Jozabad, from theleaders of the Levites, who were in charge of the outside work of the house of God; and Mattaniah the son of Mica, the son of Zabdi, the son of Asaph, who was the leader in beginning the thanksgiving at prayer, and Bakbukiah, the second among his brethren; and Abda the son of Shammua, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun. All the Levites in the holy city were 284.\nAlso the gatekeepers, Akkub, Talmon and their brethren who kept watch at the gates, were 172.\nThe rest of Israel, of the priests and of the Levites, were in all the cities of Judah, each on his own inheritance. But the temple servants were living in Ophel, and Ziha and Gishpa were in charge of the temple servants.\nNow the overseer of the Levites in Jerusalem was Uzzi the son of Bani, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Mica, from the sons of Asaph, who were the singers for the service of the house of God. For there was a commandment from the king concerning them and a firm regulation for the song leaders day by day. Pethahiah the son of Meshezabel, of the sons of Zerah the son of Judah, was the king\u2019s representative in all matters concerning the people.\nNow as for the villages with their fields, some of the sons of Judah lived in Kiriath-arba and its towns, in Dibon and its towns, and in Jekabzeel and its villages, and in Jeshua, in Moladah and Beth-pelet, and in Hazar-shual, in Beersheba and its towns, and in Ziklag, in Meconah and in its towns, and in En-rimmon, in Zorah and in Jarmuth, Zanoah, Adullam, and their villages, Lachish and its fields, Azekah and its towns. So they encamped from Beersheba as far as the valley of Hinnom. The sons of Benjamin also lived from Geba onward, at Michmash and Aija, at Bethel and its towns, at Anathoth, Nob, Ananiah, Hazor, Ramah, Gittaim, Hadid, Zeboim, Neballat, Lod and Ono, the valley of craftsmen. From the Levites, some divisions in Judah belonged to Benjamin.\nWith the restoration of the walls and gates completed, Jerusalem was ready to be occupied. Nehemiah realized that the nation of Israel could not be strong if the city of Jerusalem was weak. But the city could not be strong unless people lived there and protected it. While living in the outlying villages may have been safer, people were asked to take the risk and move into the big city. Some citizens volunteered and others were drafted. The families who moved into the city were serving God, their nation, and future generations with their step of faith. God honored their sacrifice by recording their names for eternity in His Word.\nGod may call us to do something simple and easy, and He may ask us at times to do something difficult and challenging. The question is: are you willing to do whatever God asks you to do? Do not underestimate the significance of being in the place where God wants you to be. This means you must trust God with the life He has given you to live: your gender, gifts, job, income level, municipality, etc. He may not ask you to perform some dramatic ministry or live absolutely from the gospel, but if God asks you to do something, then it is important.\nThe record of names reminds us that our Father sees and records our service for the Kingdom. Even if people don\u2019t recognize or appreciate your obedient acts of service, God sees you and will reward you accordingly.\nWE HAVE COME TO WORSHIP GOD",

        "raw_content": "23 Percent Of Americans In Their Prime Working Years Are Unemployed\nDid you know that when you take the number of working age Americans that are officially unemployed (8.2 million) and add that number to the number of working age Americans that are considered to be \u201cnot in the labor force\u201d (94.3 million), that gives us a grand total of 102.5 million working age Americans that do not have a job right now? I have written about this before, but today I want to focus just on Americans that are in their prime working years. When you look at only Americans that are from age 25 to age 54, 23.2 percent of them are unemployed right now. The following analysis and chart come from the Weekly Standard\u2026\nHere\u2019s a chart showing those in that age group currently employed (95.6 million) and those who aren\u2019t (28.9 million):\n\u201cThere are 124.5 million Americans in their prime working years (ages 25\u201354). Nearly one-quarter of this group\u201428.9 million people, or 23.2 percent of the total\u2014is not currently employed. They either became so discouraged that they left the labor force entirely, or they are in the labor force but unemployed. This group of non-employed individuals is more than 3.5 million larger than before the recession began in 2007,\u201d writes the Republican side of the Senate Budget Committee.\nClearly, we have never recovered from the impact of the last recession.\nBut let\u2019s try to put these numbers in context.\nBelow, I would like to share two charts with you. They show what has happened to the inactivity rates for men and for women in their prime working years in the United States in recent years.\nIn order to be considered \u201cinactive\u201d, you can\u2019t have a job and you can\u2019t be looking for a job. So this subset of people is smaller than the group that we were talking about above. The 23.2 percent of Americans in their prime working years that are unemployed right now includes those that are looking for a job and those that are not looking for a job.\nThese next two charts do not include anyone that has a job or that is currently looking for a job. These charts only cover \u201cinactive\u201d people in their prime working years that are not considered to be in the labor force.\nAs you can see in this first chart, the inactivity rate for men in their prime working years exploded higher during the last recession and then continued to go up even after the recession supposedly ended. At this point, it is hovering near all-time record highs. Does this look like an \u201ceconomic recovery\u201d to you?\u2026\nFor women, we see a similar thing. In this next chart, you can see that the inactivity rate for women in their prime working years rose during the last recession and then just kept on rising. At this point, it remains far higher than it was during the last recession\u2026\nFor both men and women in their prime working years, the inactivity rate is significantly higher than it was during the last recession.\nAll of these people neither have a job nor are they looking for one.\nSo what in the world is going on here?\nAre they independently wealthy?\nHave these people found rich spouses to marry so they don\u2019t have to work?\nNo, the truth is that the middle class in America is steadily eroding and poverty is absolutely exploding. Credit card debt has soared to a new record high, and 48 percent of all U.S. adults under the age of 30 believe that \u201cthe American Dream is dead\u201d.\nThe issue isn\u2019t that people don\u2019t want to work.\nThe issue is that people cannot find enough work.\nAnd even if you have a job, that does not mean that you are on easy street. According to the Social Security Administration, 51 percent of all American workers make less than $30,000 a year.\nTens of millions of Americans are now among the ranks of \u201cthe working poor\u201d. So many families are watching their expenses soar while their paychecks go down or stagnate. If you are in this situation right now, then you probably know how exceedingly stressful it can be.\nJust look at what is happening to the cost of health insurance. The following comes from Fox News\u2026\nHealth insurance premiums have increased faster than wages and inflation in recent years, rising an average of 28 percent from 2009 to 2014 despite the enactment of Obamacare, according to a report from Freedom Partners.\nAnd I am not exactly sure where they got those numbers. Personally, I know that my health insurance rates have gone up far faster than that.\nTwo years ago, my health insurance company wanted to double the health insurance premiums for my family even though we never get sick. So I switched to another insurance company that offered a policy that was only about 30 percent higher than my last one. But then when it came time to renew, that insurance company wanted to raise my rate by another 50 percent.\nThanks to Obamacare, American families are being absolutely crippled by the cost of health care. And of course we are seeing the rising cost of living so many other places as well. Our paychecks are being squeezed harder and harder, and this is absolutely killing the middle class. In fact, the middle class in America is now a minority for the first time ever.\nAnd now for the real bad news \u2013 this is about as good as things are ever going to get in this country. As you can see from what I have shared above, we never really had any sort of meaningful \u201ceconomic recovery\u201d, and now we have entered the early phases of the next major downturn.\nSo where do we go from here? Unfortunately, our debt-fueled prosperity has provided us with a massively inflated standard of living that is not even close to sustainable. As this bubble bursts, the economic pain is going to be absolutely unprecedented.\nBut it won\u2019t be just economic pain that we are facing. In my new book, I detail the things that I believe that are coming to this country, and I explain why the entire planet will soon be facing incredibly challenging times. It is going to be one of the most controversial Christian books of 2016, because it directly challenges many of the things that are being taught in mainstream churches today. My book is an ominous message of warning and an inspiring message of hope, and I truly believe that it is the most important thing that I have ever written.\nNo matter how you may see the future, the key is that we all learn to love one another. The years ahead are going to be extremely challenging, and those that want to chase everyone else away and survive as lone wolves are going to have a very rough time. We all need each other, and those that have friends, family and communities around them are going to be in a much better position to weather the coming storms.\nSo let us hope for the best, but let us also prepare for the worst\u2026\nNearly At \u2018Full Employment\u2019? 10 Reasons Why The Unemployment Numbers Are A Massive Lie\nOn Friday, we learned that the official \u201cunemployment rate\u201d has fallen to 5.5 percent. Since an unemployment rate of 5 percent is considered to be \u201cfull employment\u201d by many economists, many in the mainstream media took this as a sign that the U.S. economy has almost fully \u201crecovered\u201d since the last recession. In fact, according to the Wall Street Journal, some Federal Reserve officials believe that \u201cthe U.S. economy is already at full employment\u201c. But how can this possibly be? It certainly does not square with reality. Personally, I know people that have been struggling with unemployment for years and that still cannot find a decent job. And I get emails from readers all the time that are heartbroken because they are suffering through extended periods of unemployment. So what in the world is going on? How can the government be telling us that we are nearly at \u201cfull employment\u201d when so many people can\u2019t find work? Could it be possible that the government numbers are misleading?\nIt is my contention that the official \u201cunemployment rate\u201d has become so politicized and so manipulated that it is essentially meaningless at this point. The following are 10 reasons why\u2026\n#1 Since February 2008, the size of the U.S. population has grown by 16.8 million people, but the number of full-time jobs has actually decreased by 140,000.\n#2 The percentage of working age Americans that have a job right now is still about the same as it was during the depths of the last recession. Posted below is a chart that shows how the employment-population ratio has changed since the beginning of the decade. Does this look like a full-blown \u201cemployment recovery\u201d to you?\u2026\n#3 The primary reason for the decline in the official \u201cunemployment rate\u201d is the fact that the government now considers millions upon millions of long-term unemployed workers to \u201cno longer be in the labor force\u201d. Just check out the following numbers\u2026\nThe number of Americans participating in the labor force has been on a decline for the past few years. Nearly 33 percent of the Americans above age 16 are not part of the workforce, the highest number since 1978. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) report issued recently has found 92,898,000 Americans above age 16 not a part of the labor force of the country as on February 2015.\nWhen President Obama took over the office in January 2009, nearly 80,529,000 Americans were not a part of the labor force. The number has increase by nearly 12 million over the last few years.\n#4 Over the past couple of years, the labor force participation rate in this country has been hovering near mutli-decade lows\u2026\nThe labor force participation rate hovered between 62.9 percent and 62.7 percent in the eleven months from April 2014 through February, and has been 62.9 percent or lower in 13 of the 17 months since October 2013.\nPrior to that, the last time the rate was below 63 percent was 37 years ago, in March 1978 when it was 62.8 percent, the same rate it was in February.\n#5 When you add the number of \u201cofficially unemployed\u201d Americans (8.7 million) to the number of Americans \u201cnot in the labor force\u201d (92.9 million), you get a grand total of 101.6 million working age Americans that do not have a job right now. Does that sound like \u201cfull employment\u201d to you?\n#6 The quality of our jobs continues to decline. Right now, only 44 percent of U.S. adults are employed for 30 or more hours each week.\n#7 Millions upon millions of Americans have been forced to take part-time jobs because that is all they can find, and wages for American workers are at depressingly low levels. The following numbers come directly from the Social Security Administration\u2026\n#8 The average duration of unemployment for an unemployed worker is still about twice as long as it was just prior to the last recession.\n#9 Most Americans feel as though the Obama administration has done little to nothing to help the middle class. Just consider the following poll numbers\u2026\nAccording to a new poll by the Pew Research Center, Americans see government policies under the Obama administration as having mostly benefited wealthy people, large corporations and financial institutions.\nSeventy-two percent of respondents said government policies have done little or nothing to help the middle class, and 65 percent said they have done nothing to help the poor. Sixty-eight percent said the policies have done nothing to help small businesses.\nMeanwhile, 45 percent said the policies have done a \u201cgreat deal\u201d to help large banks and financial institutions, 38 percent say they have helped large corporations, and 36 percent say they have helped the wealthy.\n#10 If the unemployment rate was calculated honestly, we would all be talking about the horrific \u201cunemployment crisis\u201d that we were currently enduring. According to John Williams of shadowstats.com, the real unemployment rate in the United States right now is above 23 percent.\nOur politicians and the mainstream media are attempting to convince us that everything is just fine.\nBut what they are telling us simply does not match the cold, hard reality on the streets.\nAnd since the talking heads on television are proclaiming that we are nearly at \u201cfull employment\u201d, that just makes millions upon millions of Americans that can\u2019t seem to find work no matter how hard they try feel even worse than they already do.\nIf jobs are \u201ceasy to get\u201d, then those that are chronically unemployment must have \u201csomething wrong\u201d with them. That is the message that we are being given. If the mainstream media says that unemployment has gone way down, then anyone that is still unemployed must be really \u201clazy\u201d, right?\nWhen you are unemployed for an extended period of time, it can really suck the life right out of you. It can be really tempting to believe that you are viewed as a failure by your family and friends. And for the government to lie to us like this just makes things even harder.\nIf you are unemployed and can\u2019t find a job right now, I want you to understand that you are caught in the midst of a long-term downward economic spiral which is going to get a lot worse.\nWhen the government tells you that we are in a \u201crecovery\u201d, they are lying to you.\nAnd when the government tells you that things are about to get a lot better, they are lying to you.\nEveryone has times in their lives when they get knocked down.\nThe key is to always get back up and to never, ever stop fighting.\nYes, we are facing some really hard economic times. But that does not mean that your life is over. Never give up, and never give in to fear. Just do what you can with what you have today, and tomorrow get up and fight with everything that you have got.\nThe truth is that the best chapters of your life could be just around the corner.\nJust don\u2019t sit back and wait for the government to save you. If you are waiting for the government to save you, then you are going to be deeply disappointed.\nJob = Just Over Broke\nIf you are fortunate enough to have a job in America today, the phrase \u201cjust over broke\u201d probably describes you. Yes, there are a handful of jobs that certainly pay very well, but most Americans that work for somebody else are just barely making it from month to month. More than half of all working Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, and more than half of all working Americans make less than $30,000 a year. That is an amazing statistic but it is actually true. Once upon a time, anyone that was responsible and that was willing to work hard could get a good job in America. But now those days are long gone. Instead, we live at a time when good jobs are disappearing and when the middle class is getting smaller with each passing year. In some homes, the husband and the wife are both working multiple jobs and they can still barely pay their bills. Something has gone horribly wrong, and yet our leaders just keep telling us how wonderful our economy is.\nOne of the biggest things that has killed jobs in this country is the fact that the U.S. economy has been steadily merged into the emerging one world economic system over the past several decades. They call it \u201cfree trade\u201d, but they never told us that we would be merged into a single global labor pool where we would be competing directly for jobs with workers on the other side of the planet that live in nations where it is legal to pay slave labor wages.\nAccording to Gallup, only about 1.3 billion people around the world work full-time for an employer at this point.\nBut overall there are more than 7 billion people.\nThat means that there are a whole lot of really poor, really desperate people that need to be employed.\nThis has been wonderful for the big corporations. They can just take jobs away from American workers and give them to people who are willing to work for less than a tenth of what an American worker would make. This has resulted in the systematic deindustrialization of the United States and horrific decline in dozens of formerly great manufacturing cities.\nAt the same time, we have also been losing millions of middle class jobs to technology. At this point, robots are even starting to replace warehouse workers and fast food employees. As robots become even more advanced and become even cheaper to produce, there will be less jobs available for the rest of us.\nAnd what happens when robots can do everything better than us?\nBecause there are fewer middle class jobs available, the competition for the remaining jobs has become incredibly intense. In recent years, millions of Americans have been forced to take just about anything that they can get. For those Americans, \u201cjust over broke\u201d has become \u201cjust trying to survive\u201d as they scratch and claw their way through life.\nA recent CNBC article profiled one such individual. His name is Ken Bowman, and his job at a guitar shop just barely enables him to pay his rent and feed himself\u2026\nKen Bowman joins the line for a free lunch in the Youngstown Salvation Army canteen, just like he does every Friday.\nLooking younger than his 21 years, his hair dyed jet black and wearing big, battered boots, Bowman plays heavy metal on his cell phone. He chooses a seat at the end of a table and sits hunched over his tray, his blues eyes furtively sweeping the room. The others sit in packs, regulars who\u2019ve formed lunchtime friendships over their burnt coffee and peppered corn, discussing the jobs they once had and the government benefits they no longer get.\nBowman is sensitive to the stigma of accepting handouts like lunch. \u201c[It] doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re homeless or poor, people have standards but they struggle,\u201d he said, his chin jutting out, his eyes glowering.\nAfter paying his rent, Bowman says his job in a guitar shop leaves him with $50 a month to live on \u2014 if he can get shifts. He is one of America\u2019s \u201cunderemployed,\u201d a group of as many as 11 million Americans struggling to survive in society\u2019s shadows on wages that put them below the federal poverty line.\nThere are millions of others out there just like Bowman. In fact, as I mentioned in a previous article, one out of every four part-time workers in America is living below the poverty line. The \u201cworking poor\u201d is a phrase that describes a very large segment of the U.S. population today.\nAnd the cold, hard truth of the matter is that most of the country is steadily getting poorer. According to a study recently discussed in the New York Times, the \u201ctypical American household\u201d is now worth 36 percent less than it was worth a decade ago. That is a staggering decline in just ten years.\nMeanwhile, the cost of living continues to rise. This is something that I have discussed repeatedly, but sometimes a picture can say things far better than any words can.\nThe photo posted below has been floating around on Twitter. It is of a McDonald\u2019s menu from the 1960s. As you can see, prices have gone up a little bit since then\u2026\nMost people think that I am crazy when I tell them that I can remember a cup of coffee being sold for a quarter when I was young. But it is true. Over the long-term, our purchasing power has been systematically destroyed by the insane polices of the Federal Reserve.\nSadly, most Americans don\u2019t understand any of this. They just trust that our leaders actually know what they are doing. Meanwhile, they just keep on struggling to survive in an economic system that is stacked against them.\nAccording to one recent study, 40 percent of all households in the United States are experiencing financial stress right now and the homeownership rate for Americans under the age of 35 is at an all-time low.\nIn the old days, if you got your education, worked hard and did all the right things, it was just about an automatic ticket to the middle class.\nToday it doesn\u2019t work like that.\nInstead, more Americans than ever are being forced to become dependent on the government. If you can believe it, Americans received more than 2 trillion dollars in benefits from the federal government last year alone.\nSo it astounds me whenever I hear anyone say that the economy is in \u201cgood shape\u201d.\nHow can it be in \u201cgood shape\u201d when one out of every three adults in the United States has an unpaid debt that is \u201cin collections\u201d and there are 49 million Americans that are dealing with food insecurity?\nThe truth is that we are in the midst of a long-term economic decline that is the result of decades of incredibly foolish decisions.\nUntil the American people start understanding what has happened to us, they are never going to demand real change that actually accomplishes something.\nThe Robots Are Coming, And They Are Replacing Warehouse Workers And Fast Food Employees\nThere are already more than 101 million working age Americans that are not employed and 20 percent of the families in the entire country do not have a single member that has a job. So what in the world are we going to do when robots start taking millions upon millions more of our jobs? Thanks to technology, the balance of power between employers and workers in this country is shifting dramatically in favor of the employers. These days, many employers are wondering why they are dealing with so many human worker \u201cheadaches\u201d when they can just use technology to get the same tasks done instead. When you replace a human worker with a robot, you solve a whole bunch of problems. Robots never take a day off, they never get tired, they never get sick, they never complain, they never show up late, they never waste time on the Internet and they always do what you tell them to do. In addition, robotic technology has advanced to the point where it is actually cheaper to buy robots than it is to hire humans for a vast variety of different tasks. From the standpoint of societal efficiency, this is a good thing. But what happens when robots are able to do just about everything less expensively and more efficiently than humans can? Where will our jobs come from?\nAnd this is not something that is coming at some point in \u201cthe future\u201d.\nAccording to CNN, there will be 10,000 robots working to fulfill customer orders in Amazon.com warehouses by the end of 2014\u2026\nAmazon will be using 10,000 robots in its warehouses by the end of the year.\nCEO Jeff Bezos told investors at a shareholder meeting Wednesday that he expects to significantly increase the number of robots used to fulfill customer orders.\nDon\u2019t get me wrong \u2013 I absolutely love Amazon. And if robots can get me my stuff faster and less expensively that sounds great.\nBut what if everyone starts using these kinds of robots?\nWhat will that do to warehouse jobs?\nPC World has just done a report on a new warehouse robot known as \u201cUBR-1\u201d. This robot is intended to perform tasks \u201cnormally done by human workers\u201d\u2026\nUnlike the industrial robots widely used in manufacturing today\u2014usually large machines isolated from people for safety reasons\u2014this robot can work alongside humans or autonomously in a workspace filled with people.\nThis little robot costs $50,000, and it can work all day and all night. It just needs a battery change every once in a while. The creators of this robot envision it performing a vast array of different tasks\u2026\n\u201cWe see the robot as doing tasks, they could be dull, they could be dirty, they could be dangerous and doing them repetitively all day in a light manufacturing environment,\u201d said Melonee Wise, Unbounded Robotics CEO and co-founder. Those tasks include stocking shelves, picking up objects and assembling parts.\nThe UBR-1 isn\u2019t designed for small component assembly, but it can manipulate objects as small as dice or a Lego piece, Wise said. Unbounded Robotics is targeting companies that want some automation to speed up their manufacturing process, but can\u2019t afford to fully automate their businesses.\nTo many people this may sound very exciting.\nBut what if a robot like that took your job?\nWould it be exciting then?\nOf course you can\u2019t outlaw robots. And you can\u2019t force companies to hire human workers.\nBut we could potentially have major problems in our society as jobs at the low end of the wage scale quickly disappear.\nAccording to CNN, restaurants all over the nation are going to automated service, and a recent University of Oxford study concluded that there is a 92 percent chance that most fast food jobs will be automated in the coming years\u2026\nPanera Bread is the latest chain to introduce automated service, announcing last month that it plans to bring self-service ordering kiosks as well as a mobile ordering option to all its locations within the next three years. The news follows moves from Chili\u2019s and Applebee\u2019s to place tablets on their tables, allowing diners to order and pay without interacting with human wait staff at all.\nPanera, which spent $42 million developing its new system, claims it isn\u2019t planning any job cuts as a result of the technology, but some analysts see this kind of shift as unavoidable for the industry.\nIt is being projected that other types of jobs will soon be automated as well\u2026\nDelivery drivers could be replaced en masse by self-driving cars, which are likely to hit the market within a decade or two, or even drones. In food preparation, there are start-ups offering robots for bartending and gourmet hamburger preparation. A food processing company in Spain now uses robots to inspect heads of lettuce on a conveyor belt, throwing out those that don\u2019t meet company standards, the Oxford researchers report.\nCould you imagine such a world?\nWhen self-driving vehicles take over, what will happen to the 3.1 million Americans that drive trucks for a living?\nOur planet is changing at a pace that is almost inconceivable.\nOver the past decade, the big threat to our jobs has been workers on the other side of the globe that live in countries where it is legal to pay slave labor wages.\nBut now even those workers are having their jobs taken away by robots. For example, just check out what is happening in China\u2026\nPerhaps you think that your job could never be affected because you do something that requires a \u201chuman touch\u201d like caring for the elderly.\nWell, according to Reuters, robots are moving into that arena as well\u2026\nImagine you\u2019re 85, and living alone. Your children are halfway across the country, and you\u2019re widowed. You have a live-in aide \u2013 but it\u2019s not human. Your personal robot reminds you to take your medicine, monitors your diet and exercise, plays games with you, and even helps you connect with family members on the Internet.\nAnd robots are even threatening extremely skilled professions such as doctors. For instance, just check out this excerpt from a Bloomberg article entitled \u201cDoctor Robot Will See You Shortly\u201c\u2026\nAnd this is just the beginning. In a previous article, I discussed the groundbreaking study by Dr. Carl Frey and Dr. Michael Osborne of Oxford University which came to the conclusion that 47 percent of all U.S. jobs could be automated within the next 20 years.\nWhat will the middle class do as their jobs are taken away?\nThe world that we live in is becoming a radically different place than the one that we grew up in.\nThe robots are coming, and they are going to take millions of our jobs.\nSo what do you think of this robot invasion? Please feel free to share your thoughts by posting a comment below\u2026\nThe Number Of Working Age Americans Without A Job Has Risen By Almost 10 Million Under Obama\nThat headline is not a misprint. The number of working age Americans that do not have a job has increased by nearly 10 million since Barack Obama first entered the White House. In January 2009, the number of \u201cofficially unemployed\u201d workers plus the number of Americans \u201cnot in the labor force\u201d was sitting at a grand total of 92.6 million. Today, that number has risen to 102.2 million. That means that the number of working age Americans that are not working has grown by close to 10 million since Barack Obama first took office. So why does the \u201cofficial unemployment rate\u201d keep going down? Well, it is because the federal government has been pretending that millions upon millions of unemployed workers have \u201cleft the labor force\u201d over the past few years and do not want to work anymore. The government says that another 347,000 workers \u201cleft the labor force\u201d in December. That is nearly five times larger than the 74,000 jobs that were \u201ccreated\u201d by the U.S. economy last month. And it is important to note that more than half of those jobs were temporary jobs, and it takes well over 100,000 new jobs just to keep up with population growth each month. So the unemployment rate should not have gone down. If anything, it should have gone up.\nIn fact, if the federal government was using an honest labor force participation rate, the official unemployment rate would be far higher than it is right now. Instead of 6.7 percent, it would be 11.5 percent, and it has stayed at about that level since the end of the last recession.\nBut \u201c6.7 percent\u201d makes Obama look so much better than \u201c11.5 percent\u201d, don\u2019t you think?\nThe labor force participation rate is now at a 35 year low, and the only way that the federal government has been able to get the \u201cunemployment rate\u201d to go down is by removing hundreds of thousands of Americans out of the labor force every month.\nWhy don\u2019t they just get it over with and announce that they have decided that all workers immediately leave the labor force the moment that they lose their jobs? That way we could have an unemployment rate of \u201c0.0 percent\u201d and Obama could be hailed as a great economic savior.\nOf course the truth is that the employment crisis in the United States is about as bad now as it was during the depths of the last recession.\nIf you want a much more accurate reading of the employment picture in America, just look at the employment-population ratio. The percentage of working age Americans that actually have a job continues to stagnate at an extremely low level. In fact, the percentage of working age Americans that are employed has stayed between 58.2 percent and 58.8 percent for 52 months in a row\u2026\nDoes that look like an \u201cemployment recovery\u201d to you?\nBecause no matter how hard I squint my eyes, I just can\u2019t see it.\nThe percentage of Americans that actually have jobs should have bounced back at least a little bit by now.\nBut it has not happened.\nAnd guess what? Most people don\u2019t know this, but the U.S. economy actually created fewer jobs in 2013 than it did in 2012. So the momentum of job creation is actually going the wrong way.\nNo matter how rosy the mainstream media makes things out to be, the reality on the ground tells an entirely different story.\nFor example, just check out the desperation that was displayed on the streets of New York City last week\u2026\nThe line wrapped nearly around an entire city block on Friday as approximately 1,500 people waited in Queens for a chance to apply for a coveted union job as painters or blasters on bridges and steel structures.\nThe first few people on line had been there since 1 p.m. on Tuesday when the temperature in New York City was in the single digits.\nThe job that those desperate workers wanted to apply for only pays $17.20 an hour.\nOf course that is far from an isolated incident. Last week, I wrote about how 1,600 workers recently applied for just 36 jobs at an ice cream plant in Maryland.\nWe would not be witnessing scenes like these if the unemployment rate in America was really just 6.7 percent.\nAn article by Phoenix Capital Research does a good job of summarizing how useless the official government numbers have become\u2026\nSince 2009, we\u2019ve been told that things have improved. The fact of the matter is that the improvement has been largely due to accounting tricks rather than any real change in reality.\nSure you can make unemployment look better by not counting people, you can claim the economy is growing by ignoring inflation, you can argue that inflation is low because you don\u2019t count food or energy, but the reality is that all of these arguments are grade \u201cA\u201d BS.\nWe are now five years into the \u201crecovery.\u201d The single and I mean SINGLE accomplishment from spending over $3 trillion has been the stock market going higher. This is a complete and total failure. Based on the business cycle alone, the economy should be roaring.\nWhat does it say that we\u2019ve spent this much money and accomplished so little?\nThe word is FAILURE.\nThe media is lying about the economy. They have been for years. Even the BLS now admits that its methodologies are either inefficient (read: DON\u2019T work) or outright wrong.\nThe cold, hard reality of the matter is that there has not been an economic recovery in this nation.\nAnyone that tries to tell you that is lying to you.\nAnd now the next major wave of the economic collapse is rapidly approaching.\nThe U.S. national debt is on pace to more than double during the eight years of the Obama administration and the Federal Reserve has been recklessly printing up trillions of dollars. The long-term damage that they have done to our economy is incalculable. But despite all of those extraordinary \u201cstimulus\u201d measures, the percentage of Americans that are actually working has not budged.\nIf we were going to have a recovery, it would have happened by this point. In fact, this is all the \u201crecovery\u201d that we are going to experience.\nFrom here on out, this is about as good as things are going to get. As bad as you may think things are now, the truth is that this is rip-roaring prosperity compared to what is coming.\nI hope that you are getting prepared.",

It\u2019s a straight case of: if it ain\u2019t broke, don\u2019t fix it.\nFormed in London, England as The SPECTRES, by frontman/guitarist Francis Rossi \u2013 then known as Mike \u2013 his middle name \u2013 and fellow school-chums Alan Lancaster (bass), Jess Jaworski (keyboards) and Alan Key performed in and around the Catford area; Key was duly superseded by drummer John Coghlan. By the mid-60s, the young 4-piece were playing a residency at Butlin\u2019s holiday camp, as Roy Lynes now took over from the departed Jaworski.\nIn the midst of a transitional blues-cum-bubblegum boom in Britain, the group signed a lucrative 5-year deal with Piccadilly Records in July \u201866, but failed miserably with their Leiber & Stoller-penned debut cover of `I (Who Have Nothing)\u2019, a platter better known to fans of Shirley Bassey. The SPECTRES run off another couple of flops, Lancaster\u2019s `Hurdy Gurdy Man\u2019 and a borrowed BLUES MAGOOS Stateside hit, `(We Ain\u2019t Got) Nothin\u2019 Yet\u2019 \u2013 a sort-of lightweight precursor to DEEP PURPLE\u2019s \u201cBlack Night\u201d. A short-lived change of name to Traffic Jam resulted in their fourth failure in a row, `Almost But Not Quite There\u2019, more than likely due to similarities with the now high-profile, TRAFFIC.\nTo bolster the band\u2019s fresh moniker, The STATUS QUO, and their new-found psychedelic sound, they adding a second guitarist, Rick Parfitt. In October \u201867, Rossi reverted back to his proper Christian name, Francis. Moving along the proverbial corridor to Pye Records, the quintet unleashed their first breakthrough single, `Pictures Of Matchstick Men\u2019, a Top 20 hit in both the UK and in America \u2013 a unique feat for the outfit. This was clearly an attempt to cash-in on the hugely popular psych scene, an enjoyable pastiche nevertheless, which remains one of their most enduring, timeless songs.\nDespite the misfire of their follow-up, `Black Veils Of Melancholy\u2019 \u2013 the opening salvo from debut LP, PICTURESQUE MATCHSTICKABLE MESSAGES FROM THE STATUS QUO (1968) {*6} \u2013 the lads were again melting the minds of teenyboppers by way of UK-only Top 10 bullet, `Ice In The Sun\u2019. One of a handful of decent songs that were penned by MARTY WILDE and Ronnie Scott (the others being, `Elizabeth Dreams\u2019 and `Paradise Flat\u2019), it was somewhat dragged down by covers of The BEE GEES\u2019 `Spicks And Specks\u2019, TOMMY ROE\u2019s `Sheila\u2019 and The LEMON PIPERS\u2019 `Green Tambourine\u2019; the best non-single track was Anthony King\u2019s `Technicolour Dreams\u2019.\nLeaning on songsmith Anthony King for minor Top 50 hit, `Are You Growing Tired Of My Love\u2019 (plus `Mr Mind Detector\u2019 and `Velvet Curtains\u2019), STATUS QUO\u2019s sophomore set SPARE PARTS (1969) {*5} shared a similar blueprint to their first long-player, with Rossi & Parfitt or Lancaster and roadie Bob Young taking the bulk of the credits; the exceptions were covers from Goffin-King: `You\u2019re Just What I Was Looking For Today\u2019 and their EVERLY BROTHERS outtake flop 45, `The Price Of Love\u2019.\nThe advent of the 70s saw a raft of combos shedding their psychedelic trappings for either prog-rock or hard-rock; STATUS QUO choosing to extol the virtues of the latter genre, while creating a basic but bawdy British boogie sound a la CANNED HEAT (and writer Carl Grossman) on Top 20 single, `Down The Dustpipe\u2019. Ill-advisedly omitted from their third set, MA KELLY\u2019S GREASY SPOON (1970) {*6}, the platter brought them closer to their trademark sound, although the album itself just failed to generate enough chart returns. Underrated by all but the ardent of true-blue fans, there was a genuine grit and guts in the likes of `(April) Spring, Summer & Wednesdays\u2019, `Need Your Love\u2019 and the 9-minute closing medley of `Is It Really Me \u2013 Gotta Go Home\u2019; two covers: PETER GREEN\u2019s `Lazy Poker Blues\u2019 and STEAMHAMMER\u2019s `Junior\u2019s Wailing\u2019 were also effective in their own way.\nAfter yet another non-LP 45, `In My Chair\u2019, gave the charts another post-blues angle, STATUS QUO stuck by their new-found denim-and-waistcoat style boogieing with the much-improved 1971 set, DOG OF TWO HEAD {*8}; their first without Lynes. Unearthing some classy pieces, including belated and exploitative 1973 hit, `Mean Girl\u2019, 7-minute opening dirge `Umleitung\u2019, the folky `Gerdundula\u2019 and the FLEETWOOD MAC (Mk.I)-like `Railroad\u2019, one had a sense that STATUS QUO were en route to finally make the grade. It was only a matter of time.\nThe Quo duly jumped ship when signing to Vertigo Records (home to BLACK SABBATH), while an impressive Reading Festive slot in August \u201972 rounded off a transitional year for the band. Flying high on the back of a promotional tour, early \u201873 saw a confident STATUS QUO storm into the Top 10 again courtesy of signature single, `Paper Plane\u2019; only this time it was accompanied by the un-glam Top 5 set, PILEDRIVER (1972) {*7}. Bolstered by a decent cover of The DOORS\u2019 `Roadhouse Blues\u2019, their three-chord barrage of rock\u2019n\u2019roll on `Don\u2019t Waste My Time\u2019 and `Big Fat Mama\u2019 was matched with quieter numbers headed by the WISHBONE ASH-esque, `A Year\u2019.\nMaintaining their formulaic solitary spawn-from-accompanying-album approach through the excellent Rossi & Young-scribed `Caroline\u2019 smash, 1973\u2019s chart-topping HELLO! {*8} was widely regarded as the group\u2019s twelve-bar tour de force. Bookended by the enduring and riff-tastic `Roll Over Lay Down\u2019 and the 10-minute work-out, `Forty-Five Hundred Times\u2019 (Andy Bown would mark his inaugural guest appearance), `Softer Ride\u2019 too, gladly stuck to their harmony-driven blues manifesto.\nSmash hit `Break The Rules\u2019 and near numero uno, QUO (1974) {*7}, continued to rally against the tide of prog and glam-rock; the lads rather ironically sticking steadfastly to their tried and tested formula. The combination of Parfitt/Lancaster and Rossi/Young cues (in many respects harmonica man Bob Young was to STATUS QUO as Ian Stewart was to the \u2018Stones), stand-out tracks came through `Drifting Away\u2019, `Don\u2019t Think It Matters\u2019, `Backwater\u2019 and the BO DIDDLEY-ish `Just Take Me\u2019.\nThe same rock\u2019n\u2019roll recipe served them well for their next chart-topping outing, `Down Down\u2019, edited er.. down from a similarly successful ON THE LEVEL (1975) {*6} album. Quo were now an institution. Although the set had its detractors and critics, long-haired fans (and purveyors of the air-guitar) were up in arms if anyone doubted their band\u2019s ability and prowess. `Little Lady\u2019 and `Night Ride\u2019 turned up the volume to eleven on their boogie and blues rhythm machine, although despite the out-and-out cover of CHUCK BERRY\u2019s `Bye Bye Johnny\u2019, there was little for the outsider to grab on to. Led by the uncompromising concert classic, `Roll Over Lay Down\u2019, the \u201cLive\u201d EP was their seventh to reach Top 10 status.\nThe need for change among the buying public was all but forgotten when it came to the aptly-monikered STATUS QUO, as up to a million disciples reached into their deep denim-clad pockets to make album number nine, BLUE FOR YOU (1976) {*5} another chart-topper. Ham-fisted and paint-drying for the more discerning rock\u2019n\u2019roll buff, there was little to shout about bar the opening dirge, `Is There A Better Way\u2019 and its couple of credible hits, `Rain\u2019 and `Mystery Song\u2019. Toward the end of the year, while punk\u2019s \u201cAnarchy\u201d bad boys The SEX PISTOLS were on the rise, the Quo opted for a rockin\u2019 Top 10 version of Arlie Carter & William Warren\u2019s country song, `Wild Side Of Life\u2019. The times they were indeed a-changing. A hairy eight-legged hit machine, the quartet just kept on rockin\u2019, oblivious to the punk upstarts on the Top 3, Glasgow Apollo-recorded concert double, LIVE! (1977) {*7}. Although still in the shadows of the band, Andy Bown was inducted into the fold around this time.\nPerhaps the song most readily identifiable with the Quo, the cover of JOHN FOGERTY\u2019s `Rockin\u2019 All Over The World\u2019 \u201crocked\u201d the nation in the autumn of \u201977; everyone from housewives to head-bangers getting down, down, deeper and down as air-guitarists extraordinaire. The accompanying Pip Williams-produced parent album, ROCKIN\u2019 ALL OVER THE WORLD {*6} struck gold one again, but to many the band had run out of new ideas. While there was merit in hard-driving albums, IF YOU CAN\u2019T STAND THE HEAT (1978) {*6} \u2013 highlighting the derivative `Again And Again\u2019 \u2013 and the rather cliched WHATEVER YOU WANT (1979) {*5}, the Quo were content to plod along regardless of any trendsetters surrounding them.\nSubsequent Top 5 albums, JUST SUPPOSIN\u2019 (1980) {*6}, NEVER TOO LATE (1981) {*6} and the overly-lambasted chart-topper 1982 {*4}, were again guilty of musical complacency, but by now their army of notoriously die-hard fans were happy to fork out coin for Top 10\u2019ers, `What You\u2019re Proposing\u2019, `Something \u2018Bout You Baby I Like\u2019 (penned by Richie Supa), `Rock\u2019n\u2019Roll\u2019 and `Dear John\u2019; the double-header `Lies\u2019 and `Don\u2019t Drive My Car\u2019 just missed out on the feat. The Quo became something of a reliable joke in the music journals as they veered more and more into R&B-by-numbers pop-rock territory. And had anyone really noticed that prior to their latter set, that Coghlan had made way for another veteran sticksman, Pete Kircher.\nBACK TO BACK (1983) {*4} featured some further chart fodder: `Ol\u2019 Rag Blues\u2019, the ELVIS hit `A Mess Of Blues\u2019 and `Marguerita Time\u2019; the latter, Rossi and long-time songwriting partner Bernard Frost\u2019s new low. Outtake `The Wanderer\u2019 (yes, the old DION nugget) secured the Quo another Top 10 smash toward the close of \u201984, but unrest in the ranks led to ROSSI and FROST delivering their own collaborative 45s, `Modern Romance\u2019 (a minor hit) and `Jealousy\u2019. A court case would keep the team(s) apart after their \u201cLive Aid\u201d charity bow, until a settlement ensued later in \u201985.\nWith Lancaster and Kircher opting out (probably unable to withstand the repetition of retro-fried 3-chords played over and over and over again), their shoes were respectively filled by John \u201cRhino\u201d Edwards and Jeff Rich. Co-produced by DAVE EDMUNDS and Pip Williams, the former\u2019s cohort with LOVE SCULPTURE, John David, was drafted in to author the band\u2019s comeback hits, `Rollin\u2019 Home\u2019 and `Red Sky\u2019. Hardly recognisable as a Quo single, the dreary but effective Bolland & Bolland-scribed sing-a-long, `In The Army Now\u2019, was just kept off the top slot, while its parent album IN THE ARMY NOW (1986) {*7} drew in some decent reviews; Rossi and Parfitt\u2019s reading of IAN HUNTER\u2019s `Speechless\u2019 was also a highlight.\nTheir first in a long line of albums that failed to reach the Top 10, AIN\u2019T COMPLAINING (1988) {*4} found the band in desperate mode as they also roller-coasted between respective minor and major hits: `Who Gets The Love\u2019 (scribed by Williams & Goodison) and the Top 5, `Burning Bridges\u2019. PERFECT REMEDY (1989) {*3} only managed a lowly No.49 spot and it was clear that the Quo had indeed burned their bridges full stop.\nSTATUS QUO\u2019s past musical misdemeanours paled dramatically against the unforgivable early medley of golden oldie nuggets, entitled \u201cThe Anniversary Waltz Part One\u201d; thankfully, \u201cPart Two\u201d never scaled the near chart-topping heights of its predecessor, and it was down to ROCK \u2018TIL YOU DROP (1991) {*5} to fill a void for long-suffering Quo fans willing to listen to run-of-the-mill sing-a-longs and further covers from WILBERT HARRISON\u2019s `Let\u2019s Work Together\u2019, SAM COOKE\u2019s `Bring It On Home\u2019 and other take of The EVERLYs `Price Of Love\u2019.\nBolstered by pop sales of `Roadhouse Medley\u2019 \u2013 tongue-in-cheekily dubbed by the band as \u201cAnniversary Waltz Part 25\u201d, LIVE ALIVE QUO (1992) {*6} gave their supporters something to scream and shout about. But most others outside the ticket barriers couldn\u2019t quite forgive Quo for these aforementioned medley run-throughs, vying as they did for a knees-up-Mother Brown position previously held by cockney entertainers, CHAS & DAVE.\n`I Didn\u2019t Mean It\u2019, `Sherri Don\u2019t Fail Me Now\u2019 and a soft-ish re-vamp of JENNIFER WARNES\u2019 `Restless\u2019, were all relatively effective hits from 1994\u2019s THIRSTY WORK {*4}, but once again the Quo bottled out of anything meaningful.\nDON\u2019T STOP (1996) {*4} was downhill all way as the quintet took on a completely karaoke-styled of their favourite tunes. While there was a fair range of chartbusting material and guest spots, only their collaborative BEACH BOYS take of `Fun Fun Fun\u2019 (with the group themselves), the BRIAN MAY guest spot on BUDDY HOLLY\u2019s `Raining In My Heart\u2019 and the connective STATUS QUO & MADDY PRIOR minor chart entry, `All Around My Hat\u2019, were worthy of merit; others stemmed from JACKIE DeSHANNON\u2019s `When You Walk In The Room\u2019 (another minor staple), The MOVE\u2019s `I Can Hear The Grass Grow\u2019, CHUCK BERRY\u2019s `You Never Can Tell\u2019, The BEATLES\u2019 `Get Back\u2019, MEN WITHOUT HATS\u2019 `Safety Dance\u2019, FLEETWOOD MAC\u2019s `Don\u2019t Stop\u2019, The MERSEYS hit `Sorrow\u2019, CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL\u2019s `Proud Mary\u2019, LITTLE RICHARD\u2019s `Lucille\u2019, ROBERT PALMER\u2019s `Johnny And Mary\u2019, BOB SEGER\u2019s `Get Out Of Denver\u2019 and TIMBUK 3\u2019s `The Future\u2019s So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades\u2019.\nAided by BBC soundtracks writer Tony McAnaney on several cues (three others were with Bernard Frost again), ROSSI\u2019s KING OF THE DOGHOUSE {*5} entered the Top 50 in 1996, although it was somewhat overlooked by critics, radio and even some diehard Quo fans.\nSTATUS QUO\u2019s UNDER THE INFLUENCE (1999) {*5} \u2013 despite its title, a group-penned set with the exception of BUDDY HOLLY\u2019s `Not Fade Away\u2019 \u2013 and \u201canother covers album\u201d (as quoted by Rossi himself), FAMOUS IN THE LAST CENTURY (2000) {*3}, celebrated its way into the new millennium. But it should\u2019ve been out with old \u2013 full stop. Apart from the obvious rock\u2019n\u2019roll staple [see discog for details], the closest thing to anything modern was their versions of STEVE MILLER\u2019s `Rock\u2019n Me\u2019, IAN HUNTER\u2019s `Once Bitten Twice Shy\u2019, McGUINNESS-FLINT\u2019s `When I\u2019m Dead And Gone\u2019 and TOMMY JAMES & THE SHONDELLS\u2019 `Mony Mony\u2019.\nWith Matt Letley in place of Jeff Rich, the Quo redeemed themselves to a certain degree on HEAVY TRAFFIC (2002) {*6}, claimed by some of their more excitable fans as their best record since the 70s. They had a point, certainly: the record\u2019s brutally stripped down, live-in-the-studio, heads down blues-rock suggested that they\u2019d been saving it up for years. The re-involvement of Rossi pen-partner, Bob Young, was the catalyst here as the old boys garnered some dignity on such jewels as `All Stand Up (Never Say Never)\u2019, `Creepin\u2019 Up On You\u2019 and their first Top 20 entry for a dozen years, `Jam Side Down\u2019.\nThe double-disc CD/DVD, RIFFS (2003) {*5}, meanwhile, carried that back-to-basics ethos forward to a lean covers/re-recordings set, with spirited interpretations of various good-time rockers, namely `I Fought The Law\u2019 (Sonny Curtis), `Born To Be Wild\u2019 (STEPPENWOLF), `Tobacco Road\u2019 (J.D. Loudermilk), `All Day And All Of The Night\u2019 (The KINKS), `Takin\u2019 Care Of Business\u2019 (BACHMAN-TURNER OVERDRIVE), `Centerfold\u2019 (J. GEILS BAND), `Wild One\u2019 (Johnny O\u2019Keefe) and `Pump It Up\u2019 (ELVIS COSTELLO).\nThe Quo returned in 2005 on fresh twilight label (Sanctuary Records) for umpteenth album, THE PARTY AIN\u2019T OVER YET {*6}, another Top 20 entry that featured the odd hit or two including the title track and `All That Counts Is Love\u2019; note that `Cupid Stupid\u2019 was not the similarly-titled Connie Francis number. Talking of the odd hit or two, Rossi and Parfitt also made their impression (as STATUS QUO!) by \u201cdecking\u201d character Les Battersby on ITV\u2019s long-running soap, Coronation Street.\nA play-on-words of a MOODY BLUES album as nearly as old as Quo themselves, the punningly-titled Pip Williams-produced IN SEARCH OF THE FOURTH CHORD (2007) {*6} \u2013 and a tongue-in-cheek reference to the elusive note that Rossi and Parfitt were always trying to find \u2013 was another in the series of hard-rocking sets. Led out by single, `Beginning Of The End\u2019, other \u201cfightback\u201d songs such as `I Don\u2019t Want To Hurt You Anymore\u2019, the ZZ TOP-esque `Gravy Train\u2019 and the GARY MOORE-ish `Electric Arena\u2019, recalled their glorious 70s heyday.\nFather of eight children by two marriages, the once pony-tailed FRANCIS ROSSI (now O.B.E. with Parfitt) was again moonlighting on solo album escapades; ONE STEP AT A TIME (2010) {*5} and LIVE AT ST LUKE\u2019S (2011) {*5}, slightly swept under the carpet of the current Quo resume. STATUS QUO, meanwhile, supported the Help For Heroes/BFF charity by donating all proceeds of their reprised `In The Army Now\u2019 hit. Included on the UK version of their 29th album, QUID PRO QUO (2011) {*5}, the heavy-leaded 5-piece continued to surprise even themselves by again reaching the Top 10; Letley would leave in December 2012 after contributing to one of the group\u2019s many download concert sets.\nSome 40 years after former pop-rock rivals SLADE (and their \u201cFlame\u201d flick) introduced them into the world of cinema; BOLAN and another certain \u201cRock\u2019n\u2019Roll-er\u201d were also best remembered this way, STATUS QUO deliver their belated film feature/OST. Divided into the fresh disc of reliable songs and a part-compilation/live-from-2010, BULA QUO! (2013) {*5}, let the acolytes into their world of `Living On An Island (Fiji Style)\u2019 and a few rockin\u2019 sing-a-longs in `Bula Bula Quo (Kua Ni Lequ)\u2019 and `Looking Out For Caroline\u2019. Tame stuff if you\u2019re not a carrier of the Rossi/Parfitt membership card, and one knows already the unfair BS paraphrase outsiders might be turning in.\n2013 was certainly a year to remember for classic Quo fans across the nation, as Messrs Rossi, Parfitt, Coghlan and Lancaster played to a sell-out crowd at the Hammersmith Apollo that March. As a commemoration to this glorious one-off, fans who missed the concerts made do with Top 40 double-set of pre-split times: THE FRANTIC FOUR REUNION 2013 {*6}.\nA year on, Rossi, Parfitt and Co unplugged the amps for 2014\u2019s AQUOSTIC {*7}, an hour-long album serving to re-plough their back catalogue from `Pictures Of Matchstick Men\u2019 and `Down The Dustpipe\u2019 to `Burning Bridges\u2019 and `Rock \u2018Til You Drop\u2019. Cajun accordions, violins and Morris dancing\u2026 self-indulgent, but ever so playful and pleasing.\nStill going strong even after the semi-retirement of Parfitt due to a near-death heart attack in June 2016 \u2013 tour-only Freddie Edwards (son of \u201cRhino\u201d) stepped in on short notice \u2013 Rossi and Co re-imagined more of their back catalogue under their subsequent Top 10 title, AQUOSTIC II: THAT\u2019S A FACT! {2016) {*7}. Featuring a few fresh cuts as well as rock classics such as `Roll Over Lay Down\u2019, `In The Army Now\u2019 and `Backwater\u2019, their winter tour brought in the young Richie Malone.\nThe sad news of rock legend Rick Parfitt\u2019s death filtered through in the afternoon of Christmas Eve. If dealing with a defibrillator to his chest wasn\u2019t bad enough, complications from a shoulder injury resulted in his passing away at a hospital in Marbella, Spain. STATUS QUO fans rockin\u2019 all over the world will be mourning for some time to come; he certainly lived life to the full.\nThe decision then for Rossi (plus Andy Bown, Rhino Edwards, Leon Cave and Richie Malone) to release a live-in-concert double-CD/DVD (recorded just prior to Parfitt\u2019s death) was a little concerning; but the road goes on forever, as they say. And if \u201crock\u2019n\u2019roll never forgets\u201d, loyal fans of the group still bought into the aforementioned Top 30 transmission: THE LAST NIGHT OF THE ELECTRICS (2017) {*6}.\nIn the meantime, RICK PARFITT\u2019s belatedly-released posthumous debut album was being worked on by Rick\u2019s son and members of QUEEN and MUSE; all would add the finishing touches to the set, OVER AND OUT {*6}, which crashed into the Top 5 in March 2018; the curiosity value for Quo fans too hard to resist. Several track injecting that unmistakable head-banging soft-boogie (e.g. `Twinkletoes\u2019, `Lonesome Road\u2019 and `Everybody Knows How To Fly\u2019) or down-to-earth, romance \u2018n\u2019 roll (from `Without You\u2019 to the title track), PARFITT at last left something behind he could call his very own.

        "raw_content": "Peronal Opinion\nMachineSp1rit Posts: 180Joined: Sun Apr 26, 2009 3:52 pmLocation: Georgia\nRecently i had an argument through net with certain person, about politics. to make this simple it was an argument about political situation in my country, the opinions in society are split in two, first side is formed with radical, generally not very bright (i've met just one) and mostly people who did not reach much in their life. the second camp are the rest, relatively intelligent people.\nso we had this argument (well actually there were more than two of us, but we were in the center of it) about politics where we were trying to explain to each-other what really is truth in current situation.\nso it goes like this, he makes a statement. though not entirely, i disagree, i explain why, give him arguments. he disagrees as well (of course he does) and ignoring my arguments, he shoots back his own, mostly the same every time. after a while i get bored, and i make a huge post (really big one) describing it all from the beginning to the end, following common sense and logic, trying to stay cool and not tell him that he is stupid, which he proved to be. after that, guess what happened, he gets really emotional and frustrated and says something like this \"u know i am tired of this u are ignorant degenerate i dont care what u say and neither does anybody else bla bla bla\"\nso i have a question, i mean, i want to know opinion of yours, why is it that people believe in what they think, even when they are explained that it is not true? i mean, what the hell is wrong with them, where did they get this idea that they are the center of the universe and know everything about anything. take disbelief in scientifically proven fact of evolution for instance, there are millions of people who dont believe in it. not to get banal, has anyone read anything about this? any philosophic book or something of that kind. i'm thinking of writing about this for my philosophy lecture in two weeks.\nRe: Peronal Opinion\nI would honestly think this falls more into the field of psychology. It is possible that evolution selects for those who are able to easily convince themselves because it helps one be a natural leader, and thus scores points with the women. It is likely that they simply do not believe the evidence that you provide to them, their skepticism is vastly greater towards ideas that would challenge their current beliefs. I find that thought-experiments work better to convince others because it makes them produce the evidence themselves, and thus puts it on the same level as what they already hold to be true.\nSee Cognitive Bias:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_bias\nOzymandyus Posts: 986Joined: Sat Mar 28, 2009 8:02 pm\nThere are unquestioned beliefs that are the foundations of everyone's thought processes, its just the way our brains arrange themselves. Any evidence against these foundations will need extraordinary evidence to disprove, not simply someone's word on the matter or someone else's interpretation of the facts. Not knowing the specifics of your debate I can't make an informed comment on that - but with creationists and other truly religious people, God is the knowledge that they have built their entire world view on. Their brains use Him as a foundational concept in everything they've learned, and simply detaching yourself from such a foundational belief means relearning everything you know and question every act they've ever made. You aren't going to do such a self-destructive thing without extraordinary evidence and without extraordinary reasons for believing something different (i.e. it will make your life SO much better to believe something else that its worth relearning everything you know).\nI assume you came across such a foundational belief in your argument, and it was something that the other person wasn't willing to question. For further reading, Good Kat's wiki article has some good references at the bottom on the subject.\nAnd in an instant all progress towards the sublime, the great and enduring in man fell away and became a monkey's trick.\nthank you both, very interesting posts as well as the wiki link. they've answered so many questions, u can't imagine.\nand yes i have encountered such belief, this phrase describes it better\n...biases they identified are at least partially the result of problem-solving using mental short-cuts or \"heuristics\", for instance using how readily or vividly something comes to mind as an indication of how often or how recently it was encountered\nthe god example is too severe for this case, it really is the fundamental belief for many people, i refer to opinion in general. It is said that arguments lead to the truth, but they often don't.\nfrom what i got from the article, it says that biases are present in every person and they fail to get over them. probably biases prove to be rational in general cases, like identifying that probably a guy in the street with big beard rotten cloth has almost no money, would be true, but on higher levels biases are an obstacle. however if u realize that ur judgment may be this way subjective may help to avoid making wrong decisions.\nWolfAUPosts: 564Joined: Wed Mar 18, 2009 12:56 pmLocation: Australia\nMachineSp1rit wrote: ...first side is formed with radical, generally not very bright... the second camp are the rest, relatively intelligent people.\nThat sounds very biased. I think you'll find all political stances have their share of idiots.\nAlso, I think you'll find that alot of debates about political topics are too politically charged to really hope for any kind of dispassionate reasoning and valid outcomes. Too few people are trained in that kind of thinking, too few people are prepared to put their emotions aside too few know the full arguments (and associated evidence) of the greater issues of the topic, and too few have the humility to say \"I guess your argument is valid, I will give it further consideration\".\nMachineSp1rit wrote: ...why is it that people believe in what they think, even when they are explained that it is not true?\nWell, you can't expect someone to rapidly do a 180 on their beliefs in a single encounter. Usually if you are successful you will cause them to think through and readjust their stance to something more moderate, and over time further encounters will shift it.\nThere are certainly issues associated with personal identity and being connected with members of a group who believe as such. Because of this accepting the contrary belief would mean re-evaluating themselves (and any related moral beliefs, which we seem to naturally resist) and possibly losing their connection with others. So yeah it doesn't surprise me that people are stubborn in their beliefs, but one can hope that over time societies will improve their standard in how they teach students to apply reason and this will hopefully reduce the 'I'm right and you're a moron' style arguments.\nof course they do, but generally it is the way i said it. u see, if u knew the details of the case u would agree straight away. but i dont wanna bore anybody here, there even is a video almost everybody has seen, there was a big demonstration in center of the Capital, and one famous singer (known to be talented and simply a good guy) made a small appeal to the demonstrators, he said \"don't u think the that next government won't have same problems, it is us who must change, we must learn respect each-other, consider each-other's opinion...\" and he couldn't finish when crowd started to whistle and all that \"boo\" sounds. BUT no doubt there are some political fanatics on both sides. I've never been fully successful in inner political debates, people get too emotional. plus i don't like to talk about it with anybody, after that case, and several before that.\nas for the rest, i agree totally.\nLast edited by MachineSp1rit on Mon Apr 27, 2009 1:48 pm, edited 1 time in total.\nSomething I was just thinking about, that might fit under this topic, is that for some people politics is all... well, \"political.\" Everything is about supporting the political party, and there's not a whole lot of concern or even interest when it comes to policy issues, and the real world outcomes of those policies. There's a reliance on personal attack to discredit the politicians on the other side, and a tendency to repeat catch phrases and buzz words with little understanding of their meanings.\nWhat lies at the bottom of it seems to be a belief that they are on the \"right team,\" the other \"team\" is wrong and possibly evil by definition, which means that all of the other guy's ideas are automatically wrong and possibly evil as well. All of the things that their \"team\" says and does is right and the highest good, also by definition. So, they don't hold their beliefs because there's any validity to them... they see their beliefs as being valid because their political party holds them. And, hey, even if they are very obviously wrong and evil and stupid, that's ok because they are the good guys and whatever they do much be with the best of intentions and will magically have a happy outcome.\nImprobableJoe wrote: What lies at the bottom of it seems to be a belief that they are on the \"right team,\" the other \"team\" is wrong and possibly evil by definition, which means that all of the other guy's ideas are automatically wrong and possibly evil as well.

        "title": "KAKCHING FOR A NEW CIVILIZATION",
        "raw_content": "KAKCHING FOR A NEW CIVILIZATION\nKakching is on the southeastern corner of Manipur in Thoubal District. Manipur is the 22nd state in the easternmost part of India. The state has a population of about 2 million (20 lacs) at present. Imphal is the capital of Manipur. It has approximately two hundred and fifty thousand population. Next to Imphal, Kakching is the second biggest town in Manipur. It has nearly thirty thousand people in its Municipal area.\nThe area of Kakching Municipality is 1774.1 acres and that of cultivated land is about 6631.74 acres. It is an important agricultural town. The Chandel district covers the eastern and southern parts of the boundary, on the north there is the Loushi pat (lake) and Irengband village. It is 785 meters above the sea level. The longitude degree is 93.5 and the latitude 24.2. The annual rainfall is ~1000 to 1500 mm. The temperature is between 34 (high) and 1 degree (low) centigrade. Only June and July are hot months. The rest of the year is fine and comfortable.\nThe Sekmal river runs through this town. It is one of the most important rivers in Manipur as it runs northwards and gives water in and around Kakching town and makes the paddy fields fertile. The people of Kakching are very industrious and they produce the highest percentage of food grains of Manipur and therefore Kakching is called the granary of Manipur. But, modern irrigation project and water supply system are not introduced even to this beginning part of the 21st century. The existing system was constructed many centuries ago. Therefore the triple or double cropping is practiced in only a small area of the cultivable lands. Still the production is higher than that of any other parts of Manipur. Land distribution and management is done properly.\nThe future hope of the town is the surrounding fertile, wet and marshy lands of Loushipat, Kharungpat, Pumlenpat and Khoidumpat. It will be above 50,000 acres, which are not properly planned for any purpose, agriculture or fishery or tourist spot or any other kind in the present. If planned, the lands must be the most productive area or the most beautiful tourist center or the most industrially and commercially developed city in Manipur as it is the gateway to the neighboring country of Myanmar.\nKakching airfield, known as the Pallet airfield in the world war II, is of an area of about 100 acres. There is an area for expansion if it is needed because it is surrounded by paddy fields on all sides. For the Indo-Myanmar border trade, the airfield is required to develop as a commercial base.\nThe most specific feature of the town is that flood never affects the land and the drought and hailstorm never occur in all the year round. If we take up a project most probably at Kangoi Iranpham, it will be able to give water to many villages of the eastern Manipur and electric power in and around the state.\nKakching is a place where the youths are in good manners and take interest in their respective works. The higher number of youths take interest in and pay heed to their studies and duties in spite of the troubles, difficulties and problems coming against their will. It has two colleges \u2013 Kha Manipur College, Kakching (Government) amd Kakching Girls\u2019 College (Private). There are Higher Secondary Schools, High Schools and several Middle and Primary Schools. Kakching is an import town for higher studies in Indian classical music under the Bhatkhande Hindusthani Sangeet Mahavidyalay, Kakching, which is the only institution in Eastern India in which Indian classical music is taught up to Nipuna classes. Culturally the town is very rich in many fields: Nat Sankritan, Meitei pung cholom, Martial Arts, Thang-Ta, Satjal, Mukna, Kangjei, etc. The municipality area has three cinema halls, which provide daily shows for entertainment to the people of Kakching and surrounding towns and villages.\nThe practice of Lai Haraoba of the nine deities are very much careful. Each deities has its own specific cultural programs. Ibudhou Khamlangba is the greatest deity of Kakching. The deepest spiritual meaning of life is played in the part of the festival, Ngaprum Tanba. The maibas and maibis play the roles of the supreme gods: Kuru Shidaba Apanba, Ashiba, and Nongpok Ningthou and Panthoibi. The creator is Kurushidaba; the preserver, Apanba and the destructor, Ashiba. The fourth maiba is the father of human beings and the fifth is the mother of all creatures of this universe. Thus, Ngaprum Tanba, the last part of Kakching Haraoba gives the deepest philosophy of the Meiteis. Some think the last part of Lai Haraoba is only for mikon-thagonba, the calling of the soul of the human beings but it has greater meaning in Khamlangba Haraoba.\nIn sports also Kakching has produced many national players. There had been many Mr. India, Mr. Jr. India position holders in Body Building and some other national gold medallists. The District Sports Association (DSA), Kakching, has been the sole guide for all sports associations and clubs. For the future planning we require to pay special attention to the maintenance and development of Panjao Pallum Kangjeibung, the DSA ground and other college and school compounds.\nThe people of Kakching are very hospitable. They are not home-seekers. It is generally said that there is no state where the youths of Kakching do not reach and work. In foreign countries also the youths work in many fields.\nThe Divine Life Society, Kakching Branch, is one of the oldest branches in India. It was established in 1954. The Viswanath Mandir at Mahadeva Ching was inauguarated in 1976 by the Holy Swami Chidananda Saraswati, President of the International Divine Life Society, Head Quarters at Rishikesh, UP, India. Many youths are made decent citizens of the nation and the world with the gospels and preachings of Sri Swami Sivajandaji Saraswati of the Society. The Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Buddhists, Shikhs, Jains and Sanamahis are treated alike in the philosophy of the society. It is a sacred place for all religions.\nAt present, the Shri Krishnachandra Mandir, the Narasingha Mandir and the Viswanath Mandir are the sacred places of the Hindus. The Khullen Khamlangba and the Wairi Khamlangba are the greatest traditional deities of the town.\nIn the service of the nation, the youths take interest in all fields. In the navy, in the air and in the army, the youths contribute their proper services. In the intellectual circles also, the town has produced talented youths in many streams of knowledge.\nIndustrially, the people are very much efficient in small scale industries. If we train the youths they will not be lagging behind any people of the world even in heavy industry etc. In the near future, the town will be a great city of intellectuals, philosophers, industrialists, artists, musicians and great leaders of the nation and the world. This is because the youths are very much spiritual and courageous. With a slight change of the social management the manpower of the youths of this town may be channelized in a fruitful way.\nIt is truly known that this group of people was the iron mining artisans who had borne all responsibilities of mining iron and they made different kinds of agricultural tools and implements and war-weapons of the kings from the ancient times. Thus, the five villages of Kakching: Kakching Khullen, Kakching Wairi, Kakching Khunou, Kakching Kameng and Kakching Awang are the same group of people even though this study confines only in the Municipal Town of Kakching Khullen and Wairi.\nIn the last point, it will be rightly said that Kakching is a town, which needs to be developed in a well planned city for the future progress of the state and the nation as it has been the most well planned village structure with geometrically drawn streets, roads, lands and by-lanes, without any blind alley, prepared by the ancient village forefathers with a far-sighted dream to be able to suit to the new civilizations which may come to any height. The most scientific planning was that the village habitats were constructed in the lower land whereas the cultivable agricultural fields were reserved on the higher plains. With all these features, in 1962, Kakching stood first in All India village competition.\nSource: Dr. L. Shamungou Singh, Imphal College and Dr. A. L. Singh, Oriental College (1997). J. Geograph.

        "raw_content": "Avatar Reviewed at The Cinematheque\nI think I actually hate the idea of what Avatar represents more than the actual movie itself. A colorful melange of acid-trippy environmentalism and anti-imperialism wrapped inside a gorgeous make-believe world that is unfortunately encumbered with one of the most stereotypical of screenplays (Cameron's weak spot indeed) in many a year. The movie itself ends up being nothing more than mere middle-of-the-road multi-plex fodder full of pretty computer-created 3D pictures. The idea that it will change cinema - which it very well may - is what pisses this critic off. This change in the weather as it were, may be a change in the complete wrong direction. Taking the art out of cinema (and yes, much of it is already, and always has been, artless) Cameron's apparent paradigm shift could be what Susan Sontag warned us of years ago - the death of cinema. Okay, I am probably being over-dramatic, but I've been accused of that before. Whatever the case may be, Avatar is, at best, an okay picture - at best. Why all the hullabaloo, I don't know - but then the masses always need something to hang their hopes on.\nRead my review of Avatar at The Cinematheque.\nScarlett & Rhett: King (and Queen) of The World\nSo Avatar and Jimmy Cameron think they're hot stuff huh!? King of the world?? Two billion in box office sales?? Well think again people. Although Avatar has now topped Cameron's other smash Titanic on the all-time B.O. list and is perched to top two bill, it is not the movie seen by the most people - not even close. When accounting for pure ticket sales the all-time champ is still Gone With The Wind followed by the original Star Wars. Where is Avatar on this list you ask. Number 26 baby. Sure, it has topped the B.O. but considering tix these days run from $8 to $10 (give or take depending on where and when and all) and when you add to that the inflated price for 3D and/or IMAX - of course it out sold everything else.\nOn that particular list, after Avatar and Titanic come a bunch of Harry Potter/Lord of the Rings/Pirates movies (and The Dark Knight!) but when you count purely ticket sales - well it's a whole other ballgame. Below is a list of the top 20 movies by ticket sales.\n4. E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial\n10. Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs\n11. 101 Dalmations\n19. Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace\nNow I am not saying all these films are better than Avatar (although most are) nor am I saying they are better than the whole Harry Potter/Lord of the Rings/Pirates movies (though most are) or even that these are all great films. I happen to loath the Phantom Menace and Sound of Music and am rather uninterested in Ben Hur or The Sting or even Titanic (see Cameron, that one is at least still up there pretty high). And I know this means nothing to all the Avatar lovers out there (I actually kinda liked the film for what little there was to it) or to the fact that it may inexplicably beat out The Hurt Locker (and/or Inglourious Basterds) for the Oscar - I just wanted to share this little list with all of you out there.\nAvatar will probably pierce the top twenty eventually (it's poised to leap ahead of Grease and The Lion King any day now) but it would take a lot to reach the top on this list - it'll be gone and on DVD before that ever happens. Movies back in the day (aka: before the video revolution of the eighties) tended to stay in theaters a lot longer than nowadays. Star Wars opened in May and was still in theaters come December - and then returned to theaters the following spring and summer. Nowadays, it's all about the DVD sales and rentals so even the biggest movies tend to last only a few months at best.\nThe Road Reviewed at The Cinematheque\nAs I attest to in my review, though John Hillcoat is a more than capable director and his psycho-western The Proposition was a more than bravura take on the long dead genre, Cormac McCarthy's Pulitzer Prize winning novel of desolation and sacrifice would have come closer to the source material (and McCarthy's Faulkneresque prose poetry) if someone like Bela Tarr or, in crossing over, the late great austere master Andrei Tarkovsky were at the helm. The film is visually magnificent and Viggo Mortensen's central performance is awe-inspiring as they say, and Hillcoat does a marvelous job in adaptation (leaving out very little when all is said and done) but there is just a feel that should be there that is just not. But then, I am splitting hairs, for my criticism, though seemingly major, is probably a lesser concern than it should be. One cannot really ask what a film would be like under the auspices of another director. Well one can, but one probably shouldn't. Imagine what the film would have been like with Antonioni at the helm. There I go again. I'll try to stop. Anyway, that being as it may, here is my review of The Road.\nRead my review of The Road at The Cinematheque.\nBest of the Decade: 2000-2009\nAfter long deliberation and even longer procrastination, and with very little fuss and/or fanfare, I give you my choices for the fifty best films of the last decade.\n4.

Now I've got to start work on my next best of the decade list.\nNine Reviewed at The Cinematheque\nThe idea of a musical version of Fellini's 8 1/2 is a unique and rather interesting idea, and under the right auspices (and right director) it could have been a unique and rather interesting movie. Unfortunately for us (and everyone involved in the making of the film) that director is not Rob Marshall. He already demolished Bob Fosse's Chicago back in 2002 (and won the Academy Award for his services!!? Beating out both The Pianist and Gangs of New York btw!!?) and now he does grand ruin to Fellini's memory as well. Luckily (to some degree) the cast - including Daniel Day-Lewis, Penelope Cruz, Marion Cotillard and Sophia Loren - almost makes up for Marshall's complete lack of filmmaking ability. Has the guy ever even seen a movie other than his own!? Anyway, you take the good, you take the bad, and there you have...well, the film is merely middle-of-the-road and that is all there is to that. I guess, though it could have and should have been much better, it could have been much much worse too.\nRead my review of Nine at The Cinematheque.\nI'm Still Here (it's true)\nHey...I'm still here. Just been real busy lately with some non-movie stuff. Yeah yeah, believe it or not there is such a thing as non-movie stuff. But I will return within a week with new reviews of such films as The Lovely Bones, Nine, Up in the Air, Crazy Heart, Broken Embraces, The White Ribbon, A Single Man, Youth in Revolt, Fish Tank, Dr. Parnassus, The Messenger, Daybreakers, The Road, The Book of Eli, Mammoth, Police Adjective, The Young Victoria, The Last Station, Precious, Leap Year and a bunch more. Also I will reveal my choices for the 50 Best Films of the Decade. And I might be a new homeowner as well. Wish me luck and see you soon.....\nGolden Globes (unfortunately unsurprising) Faux Pas\nThe below picture should have been the scene at the end of The Golden Globes. Alas, poor Kathryn. But hey, she may have lost the Globe(s) to her ex-husband James Cameron, but she no longer has to sleep with the man, so I ask you...who is the real winner here?\nBest of the Decade Coming Soon.....\nI know, I know, it's fourteen days past the end of the decade already and still no Best of the Decade list from yours truly. Well, give your bellyaching a rest. It is coming soon.....\nUntil then here is a teaser (and no, this is not my number one pic).\nFarewell & Adieu Monsieur Rohmer\n\"You can't think of nothing.\" - Eric Rohmer\nLabels: Nouvelle Vague, R.I.P.\nHere are my long-delayed choices for the best films of 2009.\n4.

Star Trek (J.J. Abrams)\nLabels: 2009, Best of the Decade, Best of the Year, Lists\nIt Might Get Loud Reviewed at The Cinematheque\nSince I never got around to reviewing the film when it first came out (even though it played at the cinema I happen to run) I am finally taking the time now, as it is released on DVD, to review It Might Get Loud. Not much more to say other than go over to MovieZeal and read the review.\nRead my review of It Might Get Loud at MovieZeal.\nFor the Love of Film (and who doesn't!?)\nA very important blogathon will be taking place Feb. 14-21, 2010. It is more than a mere blogathon. It is called \"For the Love of Film\", and it is a fundraising blogathon, with proceeds to going to the National Film Preservation Foundation. The places to be are The Self-Styled Siren and Ferdy on Films. You can go to either one of those aforementioned blogs (two of my favourites by the way) to find out all the juicy info about how to participate.\nWelcome to Part VII of the Best of the Decade Project. Each few days I will name my choices for the best films of each particular year in the aforementioned decade. This will culminate just after the new year with my list of the 50 greatest films of the decade. So without further ado I give you my top ten for the year 2008.\n2. Let the Right One In (Thomas Alfredsen)\n3. Wendy and Lucy (Kelly Reichardt)\n4. The Dark Knight (Christopher Nolan)\n5. A Christmas Tale (Arnaud Desplechin)\n6. Rachel Getting Married (Jonathan Demme)\n7. The Wrestler (Darren Aronofsky)\n8. Che (Steven Soderbergh)\n9. Gran Torino (Clint Eastwood)\n10. Waltz With Bashir (Ari Folman)\nChicken Critics\nI found this while breezing through the world wide web the other day and just needed to share it with all of you out there who care enough to pay attention.\n3. Silent Light (Carlos Reygadas)\n5. No Country For Old Men (Joel & Ethan Coen)\n6. 4 Months, 3 Weeks & 2 Days (Cristian Mingiu)\n7. Gone Baby Gone (Ben Affleck)\n8. My Blueberry Nights (Wong Kar-wai)\n9. Grindhouse (Quentin Tarantino & Robert Rodriguez)\n10. 28 Weeks Later (Juan Carlos Fresnadillo)\nThe Great Procrastinator Catches Up: Fantastic Mr. Fox, Brothers & 2012 Reviewed at The Cinematheque\nWell, it's 2010 and this procrastinating old fool has yet to review many of the movies he saw over the last few months of 2009. That procrastinating old fool is here today to remedy at least some of that. With that said, I give you three reviews of films that should have been written and posted more than a while ago. I will list them (for no other reason than because I want to) in preferential order, from best to worst.\nFirst up is Wes Anderson's inevitable foray into animation, with the stop-motion screwball comedy Fantastic Mr. Fox (my review can be read here). Charming, but in the Wes Anderson definition of charm, Fantastic Mr. Fox is the more popular but less demanding of the two talking fox movies that came out in 2009. But chaos still reigns in Anderson's movie. It's just a somewhat more light-hearted kind of chaos. But hey, any movie with Bill Murray as a badger is just alright with me.\nSecond is the Jim Sheridan helmed remake of the Danish film Brothers (my review can be read here). It is a rather mediocre remake, as many a Hollywood retread of European fare tends to be, but occasionally the haphazard performances break through the surface to keep the film from faltering too far down the rabbit hole. Not exactly a rave review, but I suppose it could have been worse.\nThe third film of this triple play catch-up game is Roland Emmerich's disaster du jour 2012 (my review can be read here). Based on the idea that the world will end on 12/21/12 (thanks to those pesky Mayans and their unfinished calendar) this CGI-addled John Cusack adventure movie could have been a lot worse than it was. Another rave, eh? Emmerich has done giddy popcorn fun before with his favourite genre, but here his well seems to be beginning to run a bit on the dry side.\nI'll be back soon with some more catch-up of 2009, with reviews of Where the Wild Things Are, La Belle Personne, Bad Lieutenant, Lake Tahoe, The Silence of Lorna, Coco Before Chanel, Amelia, Invictus, Amreeka, Disgrace, The Messenger and Avatar.\n1. Marie Antoinette (Sofia Coppola)\n2. Inland Empire (David Lynch)\n3. Little Children (Todd Field)\n4. United 93 (Paul Greengrass)\n5. Miami Vice (Michael Mann)\n6. Black Book (Paul Verhoeven)\n7. Letters From Iwo Jima (Clint Eastwood)\n8. The GoodTimesKid (Azazel Jacobs)\n9. Day Night Day Night (Julia Loktev)\n10. Old Joy (Kelly Reichardt)\nGolden Globes (unfortunately unsurprising) Faux Pa...\nThe Great Procrastinator Catches Up: Fantastic Mr....",

        "raw_content": "Writing Disorder is an online literary magazine based in California. Their aim is to publish new and emerging authors each quarter. With poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and art, the magazine accepts submissions from a variety of contributors. Some have been nominated for Pushcart Prizes, while others have been published in numerous small presses. Many have released books of poetry or nonfiction while others have never been published previously. Unfortunately, many pieces that appear in this issue are ones that haven\u2019t reached the final stages of editing. Whether it was typos or larger, developmental issues within some of the works, the editors of Writing Disorder didn\u2019t seem to catch them.\nThe stories and poems in the fall 2018 issue are conventional in structure, with clearly demarcated beginnings, middles, and ends. But in more than one story, point of view is messed with: several times in one scene, a story will go into the heads of more than one character, switching between them in a way that is confusing (and perhaps is intended to be experimental). In the end, the rapid point of view switches come off as rookie mistakes that should have been wrangled by the writers themselves or the editors prior to publication.\nIn terms of theme, the six fictional stories delve deep into family and other interpersonal relationships. Some stories go directly for realism: in \u201cI Know\u201d by Laura Fletcher, a devasted couple wins a multi-million-dollar lawsuit after the wrongful death of their infant. The reader can see the man and woman struggling to support each other, grappling with the great wealth that came from an even greater tragedy. A few stories tiptoe into the supernatural while still exploring complex ties: in \u201cMr. Whiskey, The Greatest of Us All\u201d by Evelyn Somers, a cat protects a family from a horrible deity that destroys their lives one by one. More ambiguously, in the piece \u201cLet That Be a Lesson\u201d by Linda Boroff, a woman in a law office may or may not be a witch casting hexes on another fallen-from-grace coworker. All the stories are unusual, at least a bit offbeat in some way, even as they grab the reader\u2019s attention with complex character motivations and character dynamics.\nThe poetry in this issue is all free verse. Topics range from nature, troubled home lives, death and dying, sex, US politics, and more. It is difficult to say what type of poetry Writing Disorder wants, because there is so much difference between the styles. It\u2019s likely that these differences point to a lack of selectiveness on the part of Writing Disorder: Jim Farfaglia\u2019s poems are simple yet profound, thoughtful, and powerful, but Amber Wilkinson\u2019s poems are completely stream-of-consciousness, embracing all caps and typos and run-ons. It\u2019s a whiplash effect to read all six poets together, making it unclear what type of voice the magazine seeks. For poets looking to submit here, it seems like a shot in the dark.\nThe three nonfiction pieces in this issue all have compelling voices, especially Jeffrey James Higgins\u2019s moving story, \u201cAn Uncommon Hero,\u201d about a selfless school security guard. The writing is well thought out, polished, and knows exactly what its aim is. In contrast, the other two works of nonfiction do not have the appearance of final drafts, both for quite different reasons. Eimile Bowden\u2019s \u201cFemale, Age Twenty, in Need of a Diagnosis\u201d feels like it could go on, should go on, to explain Bowden\u2019s motivation for listening in on and predicting the diagnoses of other patients. There\u2019s a lot of potential in the published draft, but it doesn\u2019t have an air of a final draft yet. The other story, \u201cA Turkish Coffee Reader,\u201d by Ana Vidosavljevic, is more like Higgins\u2019s piece in its level of polish, except that, for some reason, the editors of Writing Disorder allowed dozens of easily correctable grammar and idiomatic errors by the author, a non-native English speaker. Vidosavljevic\u2019s English and writing are excellent, but it\u2019s perplexing that so many mistakes were allowed by the editors. It\u2019s as if the story was accepted yet didn\u2019t go through any proofreading before posting.\nTypos run unchecked in more than one piece, whether they are fiction, nonfiction, or poetry. The abundance of them sours the issue, leading me to believe that these pieces were not considered carefully by the editors. It\u2019s questionable that a whole staff would not try to catch more than one missing quotation mark, comma splices, and dozens of other easy-to-spot issues. Writing Disorder wants to showcase new and emerging writers, but to show them off, works ought to be polished as much as possible before publication. It\u2019s troubling that this is not the case with several pieces this issue.\nThe bottom line: if you\u2019re serious about getting your writing published, the end product (the publication itself) should strive to represent your work and other contributors\u2019 work in the most positive light possible.",

        "title": "Tea Party Darling Allen West Puts Up His Dukes in Florida Fight | CafeMom",
        "raw_content": "Tea Party Darling Allen West Puts Up His Dukes in Florida Fight\nHave you suddenly been hearing about Florida Representative Allen West? Well it's no wonder. Florida isn't just the state to watch this week with the Republican primaries -- it's also the state to watch for the general election. It's one of the hot battle scenes for Presidential candidates, with its 27 electoral votes, which could go either way. Florida went with Obama in 2008 but with Bush the previous two elections. It's always a close call, and Obama needs the state to win the general election.\nWhich brings us to Rep. Allen West. He's just a freshman in Congress, elected in 2010, but he's a Tea Party favorite and he's making his voice heard -- in a loud and combative way. This weekend at a Republican fundraiser in West Palm Beach, he told Democratic leaders that \"Florida ain't on the table\" and to \"get the hell out of the United States of America.\" What's this all about?\nHere's what Representative West said:\nWe need to let President Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and my dear friend the chairman of the Democrat National Committee, we need to let them know that Florida ain't on the table. Take your message of equality of achievement, take your message of economic dependency, take your message of enslaving the entrepreneurial will and spirit of the American people somewhere else. You can take it to Europe, you can take it to the bottom of the sea, you can take it to the North Pole, but get the hell out of the United States of America.\nWhoa, them's fightin' words! Well, them's Tea Party boilerplate, anyway. It probably won't surprise you to hear West was endorsed by Sarah Palin when he ran for office in 2010. He's spoken out in support of the Tea Party and is a member of its caucus. He was also the keynote speaker at the 2011 C-PAC. And, let's face it, there aren't very many black Tea Party leaders. So West is particularly key to the movement.\nSo it looks like Allen West is putting up his dukes in the fight over Florida voters. If he has anything to do with it, Florida will not go Obama's way. But it looks like West may also be lashing out from a threat of his own. His seat is in peril thanks to a redistricting plan passed by the Republican-dominated state legislature. West will now cover a Democrat-dominant area, which complicates his reelection plans considerably.\nIt looks like West isn't just fighting with his fellow Republicans to pull Florida away from Obama. He may also be trying to make headlines in order to strengthen his ties with influential donors and colleagues who could help him stay in power.\nHad you heard of Allen West before his speech this weekend?\nImage via Congressman Allen West\n2012 election barack obama election in the news politics tea party",

        "raw_content": "Read various quotes from schools and also from a relative of John King about the Burke and Wills Grand Adventure!\nThe actual letters are available upon request, but to respect the privacy of individuals we have only published these selected parts.\n\"The story was told through the eyes of King (the only member of the expedition party to survive the horrendous ordeal); and a teenage girl doing her history homework. The audience ranged in age from six to sixty plus, and everyone was mesmerised by the drama. The Q&A session at the conclusion of the night allowed for clarification about this important part of our Australian history, with questions coming from both the old and the young.\"\n\"As if this wasn\u2019t enough, the six children from the local school were then treated to a Drama Workshop this morning. Simon and his daughter, Amelie, stepped the children through a number of drama related activities that soon had them confidently working as a team to produce some very creative \u2018freeze scenes\u2019; and left them all begging for more as the session concluded!\nThe opportunity for our students to work with such talented actors doesn\u2019t arise very often, so we feel extremely privileged to have been included in their tour itinerary.\"\n\"The use of lyrical text, humorous exposition, visual set pieces, and poignant sound choice left me engrossed, joyful, dismayed and even a little tearful.\"\n\"The students were highly engaged with the interactive side of the performance and loved to have their say when they were asked. The younger students were particularly fond of the horse and excited to tell other staff members about being able to feed him sugar. All the students learnt a great deal about the history of Burke and Wills, and the older students in particular were very surprised by the bad luck the explorers encountered.\"\n\"This performance led to several classes completing lessons around the subject of Burke and Wills. The most notable class was 4/5/6 creation of Burke and Wills inspired board games. Here students were able to apply their newly found knowledge of the trip to create engaging questions and design adventurous board games.\"\n\"The students enjoyed the drama workshop afterwards and were more than happy to participate in the activities. Catching the invisible ball, creating the human machines and training the dolphin were a few of the exciting activities the students now request to play in class.\"\n\"Overall, both the students and staff enjoyed the performance. It was thoroughly engaging as was the workshop. I would recommend this performance to all schools, even those not on the Burke and Wills track. We really appreciate opportunities like this as they are rare to our remote community, and cannot thank you enough for coming to visit, entertain and educate us.\"\n\"I am a descendant of the Yandruwandha people and was thrilled to see a live theatre production perform at its best targeting a small audience with a modern day version of John King\u2019s life story. I found the play very informative and engaging to an audience of all age groups. I was captured deep with emotion and the performance of Simon Storey who created a very deep heartfelt story of John King being the only survivor of the Burke and Will\u2019s expedition.\"\n\"Coming from an Educational background and holding two degrees in Early Childhood, bringing this story to remote areas and the outback provides an interactive learning environment for all ages and to have a better understanding of Burke and Wills expedition.\"",

        "title": "Surrender to the Void: Thursday Movie Picks: Childhood Favorites",
        "raw_content": "For the 11th week of 2018 as part of Wandering Through the Shelves' Thursday Movie Picks series hosted by Wanderer. The subject is on films that anyone liked when they were children. It\u2019s often movies that one can look back with a certain fondness as well as have some memory of when they saw it and their sense of joy for it. Here are my three picks:\n1. Follow that Bird\nI was five-six years old when this film was playing constantly on HBO. It\u2019s a film that still holds a place in my heart as it had everything I liked at the time. Muppets, Big Bird, Bert, Ernie, Grover, Oscar the Grouch, and cameo appearances from Chevy Chase and John Candy. It\u2019s a film that revolves around Big Bird having to move from Sesame Street to live with a bird family by some adoption agency. Yet, Big Bird wants to stay in Sesame Street as it\u2019s a mixture of road adventure film with the rest of the gang from Sesame Street go and get him back while a couple of smarmy circus organizers try to retrieve him for their own money-making act.\n2. The Great Muppet Caper\nAnother favorite of mine when I was a few years old as it\u2019s a film I still love to watch as it revolves around the Muppets involved in a case of theft in London. It has Kermit the Frog and Fozzie Bear as twin brothers who are journalists working on an assignment with the Great Gonzo as they have to deal with the lecherous Charles Grodin trying to steal jewels and later pin it on Miss Piggy. It\u2019s a fun film with great cameos from John Cleese, Peter Ustinov, Jack Warden, and Peter Falk.\nIf anyone who reads this blog and doesn\u2019t think this is one of the finest films ever made\u2026.. FUCK YOU!!!!! This is a childhood staple about a group of kids trying to find a secret treasure somewhere in the Pacific Northwest to save their town from being bought out by some rich asshole and douchebag little shit of a son. Along the way, they have to deal with a family of thieves and all sorts of shit while being aided by a deformed man who is related to the thieves as it\u2019s just a whole lot of fun. I\u2019m still waiting for the sequel.\nThanks for reminding me to watch The Goonies. I don't know why but I keep putting it off.\nahhhhh...my friends little brothers ruined Goonies for me lol. I baby sat them with her one summer and they watched it every single day.\nGreat to see the inclusion of The Goonies. One of my favorites of the 80s. How can you not love that film when you were a kid?\nAs much as I think the Sesame Street gang does a great job of educating kids they came along just after I left childhood so I haven't seen Follow That Bird. I know my nieces and nephews loved it.\nI finally saw The Goonies within the last couple of years and while I was as swept away by it as it seems everyone who saw it as a kid or teen is I did think it was a fun film.\nBut I did see The Great Muppet Caper when I was in my twenties and still loved it. The Muppets are terrific but it helped that an actress I love-Diana Rigg-was one of the main human stars. That aside it is an endearing film.\nSince my childhood was longer ago than some my films are older as well but I loved them then and still do now.\nPapa\u2019s Delicate Condition (1963)-Based on silent film star Corinne Griffith\u2019s memoir of her small town childhood with her brash, tippling father (Jackie Gleason) and aggrieved mother (Glynis Johns) who while frustrated with her feckless husband and the troubles he causes when he\u2019s in his cups still loves him very much. Homey and sweet film introduced the song \u201cCall Me Irresponsible\u201d which won the Oscar.\nMary Poppins (1964)-Practically perfect in every way nanny appears on the doorstep of the staid but colorful Banks residence one day and nothing is ever the same again. Julie Andrews IS perfect as Miss Poppins, the songs are wonderful as is the rest of the cast including Dick Van Dyke (terrible Cockney accent and all), a delightfully addled Glynis Johns again and Oscar winner Jane Darwell in her last film appearance as the Bird Woman.\nAngel in My Pocket (1969)-Minister Sam Whitehead (Andy Griffith) arrives at his new post in the small town of Wood Falls, Kansas with his wife Mary Elizabeth (Lee Meriwether), kids, mother-in-law Racine (Kay Medford) and trouble making brother-in-law Bubba (Jerry Van Dyke) hoping to lead his flock in a peaceful fashion. Instead he finds himself smack dab in the middle of a feud between the families of Mayor Will Sinclair (Henry Jones) and his rival Axel Gresham (Edgar Buchanan). While he tries to deal with that unbeknownst to all Bubba (Jerry Van Dyke) turns the church boiler into an alcohol still leading to another set of problems. As things come to a head and Sam fears he is losing his faith something happens that leads to a happy conclusion. Homespun and comfy movie with Griffith adding just the right blend of warmth and gravity to the lead.\nI have never seen The Goonies...sorry:) The Sesame Street movie sounds sweet and I love The Muppets and this is a fun movie. I saw the first one when it came out and my dad's favourite show, later on, was The Muppet show-he loved Fozzie and the 2 old gents in the box. My lumberman dad who could give you a look that meant business loved that show\nThe Goonies is one of my favourite movie. So much adventure and fun to be had.\nIt's Jim Henson and The Goonies. What's not to love. Great work.\nGoonies still holds up to this day Richard Donner does an amazing job with the cast and its memorable as hell. I know there are people who dont like this and I dont get it. Even if you didnt grow up in that era, it's still a good feature.\nFunny you would have the 2nd Muppet movie on your list. For me My favorite is Muppets Take Manhattan followed by The Muppet Movie. I loved Great Caper and it certainly is a lot of fun. I just thought the cameos were better in The Muppet Movie is all\nNever saw Follow that Bird\nGreat call on Muppets - that film is hilarious!! Only sawit for the first time a few years back. The bike sequence is amazing!\nLOVE The Goonies!!!\n@Sonia-See it. It's so fun to watch.\n@Brittani-Maybe avoid it for a few years and then watch it again.\n@Chris-I know. It's one of those films that make you feel like a kid when you re-watch it as it still holds up. I still think we need a sequel.\n@joel65913-I do love Mary Poppins. She is awesome though I'm wary about the upcoming sequel as it's helmed by Rob Marshall whom I'm not fond of as a filmmaker.\n@Birgit-Glad to know you love the Muppets and I love those 2 old guys. The original trolls who just keep making me laugh.\n@vinnieh-What is there not to love about The Goonies?\n@Wendell-Exactly. Why waste your time with today's bullshit entertainment for kids when you have the classics available to you.\n@TheVern-I also love The Muppets Take Manhattan. Notably for those cameos. How can you not love those celebrity cameos? Just as long as they don't put in the Kartrashians, Lindsay Lohan, and Justin Beiber and I'm sure everything will be fine. And I'm with you on The Goonies which is why I had to say something to those people who hate on that film.\n@Katie Hogan-I love that bike sequence as well as I wanna know how they did that. Plus, glad to know there's more love for The Goonies.\nWhile I am familiar with Sesame Street and The Muppets, I've not heard of those two particular ones.\n@Wanderer-See those 2 films. They're so fun to watch.",

It is designed to provide an interim, or \"preliminary\" response to an application for title insurance and is intended to facilitate the issuance of the designated policy or policies. It is normally prepared after application (order) for such policy(ies) of title insurance on behalf of the principals to a real property transaction, for the purpose of facilitating requirements relative to closing and policy issuance in form and content approved by those parties.\nIf a title policy is not contemplated, a Preliminary Report should not be ordered. Instead, consideration should be given to requesting a Condition of Title Report or other similar title product.\nThe Preliminary Report states on its face that it is made solely to facilitate the subsequent issuance of a title insurance policy and that the insurer assumes no liability for errors in the report. Accordingly, any claim arising from a defect in title must be made under the title policy and not the Preliminary Report.\nAfter a title order has been placed, matters relative to the title policy coverage on the subject property are assembled in a title search package and examined by skilled technicians. This is when the Preliminary Report is prepared and sent to the customer. The report contains relevant information so that the parties to the transaction will become aware of matters which will not be insured against by the title company. This report is issued before the title policy, hence the name Preliminary Report.\nThe matters shown in the report are as follows:\nThe estate of interest covered.\nThe owner of the estate or interest.\nThe parcel of land involved.\nThe exceptions, liens, encumbrances and other risks which will not be insured against if a title policy is issued.\nOther requirements and provisions which are reflected as \"Notes\" in the Preliminary Report which are removed if and when a title policy is issued.",

        "raw_content": "I bet you thought that a paper twenty-dollar was money, right? Wrong! Paper has never been money. It is a note that used to promise the bearer to be paid in real money -- gold or silver. The question I want you to consider with me is: Why does it matter what we use as money?\nIn the beginning, our young nation had a solid biblical foundation of gold and silver backed money. The Coinage Act of 1792 provided the Congress with the authority to mint coinage of gold or silver as legal tender for the United States. Over time, however, the powerful banking establishment usurped that authority and several times in U.S. history we allowed the printing of unredeemable paper money notes to fund wars. Today, the Federal Reserve banking system today is a privately held corporation that has no backing of any sort behind it ... unless you consider debt as a tangible substance worth backing paper money. I sure don't! Our ignorance and apathy regarding coin, credit, and circulation has taken its toll.\nHaving an honest money system is critical issue since our money represents our life, our time, and for many retirees, their very survival in the future.\nThe main problems with debt-based (or fiat) money are threefold.\n1. Every time that a new $1, $5, $10, $20, $100 or $500 bill is created its value begins a fast process of deterioration physically and financially. For example, in just the last 25 years our \"dollar\" has retained only 25 cents in buying power. Over time, fiat money becomes worth less because of the ever increasing money supply that is pumped into the economy. A major missing element in modern money is scarcity. The Fed can print as much as they want, whenever they want.\n2. The result is that our modern fiat money is without a store of value. Over time, inflation also reduces the buying power of paper money -- a fact that any shopper will notice over a period of years. This inflationary problem robs buying power from both the children and the elderly, creating economic hardship in the future for both.\nThe solutions are not simple because the problems are not understood by most Americans. It is the job of Christians, as \"watchmen on the wall,\" to sound an alarm before our whole nation falls into hyperinflation, depression ... or worse. Politicians will typically avoid the money issue because they are interested in elections, not fundamental change. That is why fundamental change usually comes from the bottom up. We the People, the Christians should be leading the fight for godly economics as fervently as we fight for the right to life or for morality in entertainment.",

        "raw_content": "HOW TO HANDLE TROUBLEMAKERS IN THE CHURCH\nIntro: Ever since the church was formed, she has been plagued by troublemakers. These people have desired to either see the church destroyed, or to see it shaped to their own will. This should not have been a surprise.\nAfter all, Jesus Himself predicted the rise of troublemakers in the church, Matt. 7:15, \u201cBeware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep\u2019s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.\u201d Even in the early days of the fledgling church, the Apostle Paul said this, \u201cFor I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.\u201d, Acts 20:29-30.\nWell, friends, after 2,000 years the troublemakers are still with us! That\u2019s right, there are still those within and without the church who work against the plan of God and seek to mold the church to their likeness! Now, lest you become concerned, this message is designed as preventative maintenance. However, the best offense is a good defense! Therefore, it will do us good tonight to hear what the Bible says about How To Handle Troublemakers In The Church. So that when trouble arises, we will be able to identify it and deal it a death blow before serious damage is done to the church of God! Another benefit of looking at a topic like this is so that we can avoid being used by the devil to cause trouble in the House of God. Let\u2019s look at what Paul has to say about How To Handle Troublemakers In The Church.\nI. THE DEEDS OF THE TROUBLEMAKERS\n(Ill. Paul tells us that there are some tale tell signs associated with those who would cause trouble in the church. Their deeds prove them to be just what they are. Remember what Jesus said, \u201cWherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.\u201d, Matt. 7:20.)\nA. They Are Divisive \u2013 Paul uses two words here that describe what the troublemakers so in the house of God. The first is the word \u201cdivisions\u201d. It means \u201cto splinter of cause dissensions.\u201d The other word is \u201coffences\u201d, it means \u201cto lay a trap or snare in the path of another to cause them to stumble.\u201d We get our word \u201cscandal\u201d from this word.\nHow do they do this? By deviating from the Word of God! They come in and begin to teach doctrines contrary to what the Bible says. They twist the word of God to teach doctrines that are not biblical and thereby lead people astray. They teach doctrines that resemble what one finds in the Bible. But, there are subtle differences! Differences that make all the difference! This is the tactic of the cults in our world. They teach doctrines that, on the surface, appear to be biblical and right, but which are, in truth, evil.\n(Ill. There are some chemicals that look and smell just like water. But, if they are drunk like water, they will cause death. You had better know the difference. So it is in the church. Some things sound good on the surface, but you have better be so familiar with the real deal that you can tell the difference. The false doctrine will divide the church and send souls to Hell!)\nThese doctrines attract some and before long, there is a division in the church. The devil loves nothing better than this! He loves to introduce something into the life of the church that will divide the flock, then he can run in a cause massive damage in the midst of God\u2019s people.\nWatch out for people who possess a divisive spirit! What out for those who would teach things contrary to the truth of the Bible.\nB. They Are Dishonest \u2013 Verse 18 tells us that these people may pretend to have pure motives and the good of the church at heart, but there are two problems with their profession.\n1.) Most are not even saved.\n2.) They don\u2019t care about the church only about themselves, their power and their personal gain. These people love to amass a following. They want to be in a position of leadership and they crave prosperity. You see these people on the television and the radio all the time.\nPaul mentions this kind of person again in Phil. 3:18-19. He tells us there that they are \u201cenemies of the cross\u201d. He also says that they are living for themselves and for this world. These people are to be avoided!\nC. They Are Deceptive \u2013 18b \u2013 These people have a way with words and they use their ability to twist the truth the deceive the \u201csimple.\u201d The word \u201csimple\u201d does not refer to stupid people. The word means \u201cFearing no evil from others, distrusting no one.\u201d It would speak of those believers who have not matured enough to know that everything that sounds good isn\u2019t always good. Many young believers are so eager to learn about the Lord and the Word of God that they are easy marks for the cults and other false teachers. They haven\u2019t grown deep enough in the things of God to be able to recognize a counterfeit when it appears before them.\n(Ill. A young Christian gets into a debate with a cultist or someone from another belief system, and they get overwhelmed and flustered because they cannot answer every question and concern posed by their opponent. As they listen, they decide that what they are hearing doesn\u2019t sound all that bad and they can be lead astray.\nIt doesn\u2019t have to be that way at all! Just like people in banks study real money so that they can recognize a counterfeit bill when it appears, so the people of God should be so familiar with the real thing that when a counterfeit appears, we can recognize it and expose it for what it is.\nThere is no substitute for a steady diet of the things of God to mature you and insulate you against the deceptive tactics of the false religionists. More about that in a moment!))\nII. THE DIRECTIONS FOR THE TROUBLEMAKERS\n(Ill. When these troublemakers appear, what are we who are saved to do about them? How are we to handle ourselves? How are we to handle them? Paul tells us in verse 17.)\nA. They Are To Be Examined \u2013 Paul says to \u201cmark\u201d them. This word comes from the word \u201cscopos\u201d. Obviously, we get our word \u201cscope\u201d from it. It means \u201cto look at, observe, contemplate; to fix one\u2019s eyes and attention upon someone or something.\u201d\nThe idea here is that we are to watch the enemy lest he slip in on us and cause problems in the church. We are to keep our eyes open against those who would infiltrate the church of God!\nB. They Are To Be Excluded \u2013 Paul\u2019s second command is very clear. He says that we are to \u201cavoid them\u201d. He is telling us that we are to have no fellowship with those who would cause trouble in the church! The word literally means \u201cto turn away.\u201d It brings to mind a couple of thoughts. First, don\u2019t get caught up in arguments with false teachers, 2 Tim. 2:16. It is a waste of time! The best thing you can do is simply to turn away from them. So he says to avoid Communications with them. Secondly, the idea is here that we should avoid Communion with these people. 2 John 10-11 makes this crystal clear! Just as we would never open the door of our home and allow a rattlesnake in, so we should never allow a false teacher to enter the home or the church!\nIII. THE DEFENSE AGAINST THE TROUBLEMAKERS\n(Ill. There is a defense, an antidote if you will, against the work of the troublemakers in the church. Paul gives us three characteristics in verse 19 that should be true in your life and mine. These things will help us be better able to stand against trouble and troublemakers when they come.)\nA. Be Committed To God\u2019s Word \u2013 Paul mentions the word \u201cobedience\u201d. He is referring to their obedience to the commandments of the Word of the Lord. My friends, the surest defense against intrusions by false teachers and other people who would divide the church is a congregation that has grown strong in the Word of God! Our lives should be marked by a commitment to the Word of God! It is the \u201cbeans and taters\u201d of the spiritual life!\nThere should be a commitment to:\n1. Listen To It \u2013 That is to hear it when it is preached! When the word of God is declared to a church, that church should give their attention to the word. I do not think we realize how blessed we are when God sends a message through a man directly to our hearts. We have the opportunity to hear from Heaven! We should take advantage of that opportunity and glean all we can.\n2. Learn it \u2013 It isn\u2019t enough to listen to a preacher preach, however. Scientists tell us that people only retain about 10% of what they hear. That means you are going to have to spend some time in the Bible on your own. Learn how to read and study the Bible. Learn how to \u201cgrow in the grace and knowledge of the Lord.\u201d Learn how to \u201cbe strong in the Lord and the power of His might!\u201d\n3. Live It \u2013 There is another step. Unfortunately, this step is often left out by many Christians. It is not enough to listen to the Word of God, or to learn the Word of God, but the believer must go one more step and live the Word of God. This is what the Bible tells us to do, James 1:22.\n(Note: if you will determine in your heart that you will listen well, learn well and live well, you will not be easy prey for those who would bring trouble into the church! In fact, they will have a hard time with you! You will be able to spot them early and to expose them easily. But, it takes a commitment to the Word of God.)\nB. Be Christlike Toward Good Works \u2013 this second thought kind of goes hand in hand with the previous. Paul tells us to be \u201cwise unto that which is good.\u201d The word \u201cwise\u201d means \u201cskilled\u201d. He is telling us to be skilled in good living.\nThere is only one way to become skilled at anything. That avenue is through practice! The more you do something, the better at it you get. I think what Paul is trying to tell us is that we are to give our lives to knowing and doing that which is good. He wants us to be a holy people. This is what the Lord wants as well, 1 Pet. 1:16. Paul is saying that when we learn to walk like Jesus walks, we will not be an easy mark for the troublemakers!\nC. Be Childlike Toward Guilty Ways \u2013 This last phrase is a blessing! Paul says, \u201csimple concerning evil.\u201d It carries the idea of being naive or of being innocent. It means \u201cfree from guile, unsophisticated, untainted by evil.\u201d It speaks of a person who has not tasted of the fruits of the world.\nNow, for many of us, it is far too late. I mean, the Lord saved us out of gross sin and we are very familiar with the evils of the world. However, it is possible for a person to grow up free from the experiences of evil. That is, they never walked in the paths of wickedness and they are naive about the things of the world. That is a blessing!\n(Note: we all like to hear the gory and graphic testimony of those who have been saved out of sin. We like to hear about their exploits and their wickedness. But, far better is the person who can stand and say, \u201cJesus saved me when I was a small child and kept me out of sin and wickedness.\u201d)\n(Note: you do not have to be experienced in sin to be against sin! You do not have to drink poison to know that it will kill you! You don\u2019t have to handle a rattlesnake to know that it will bite you. He which is caught in the current of the steam knows nothing of the force of the stream. But he that stands against the current of the stream knows its force! It is not darkness that reveals and expels darkness, it is light!)\n(Note: There is a sense in which we need to be aware of all that is going on around us so that we are not deceived by it. But, there is another sense in which we should be very childlike concerning evil, having never experienced it and its power! May the Lord help us to walk so holy and so close to Him that sin seems as foreign as an Eskimo in the Mojave Desert.)\n(Ill. If you ever experience the taste of sin, your purity is gone forever. A lovely girl in a white dress came visiting with a college group to a coal mine. And she said, \u201cI want to go down and examine the coal mine. I want to see it, I\u2019ve never been in one.\u201d And the superintendent said, \u201cLady, you\u2019d better not do that. You\u2019d better not go down there, young lady.\u201d She said, \u201cWell, I\u2019ll just go down once. I just want to go down once. It won\u2019t hurt me.\u201d\nAnd the superintendent said, \u201cYes, lady, you may go down once but, you see, that pretty white dress you\u2019ve got on? You can go down just once and you\u2019ll go down white and pure, but when you come out, there\u2019ll be smut on you. Just one trip.\u201d)\n(Note: Christian, avoid evil like it was the plague, for it is! The best thing in the world is to come to Jesus at a young age and to live for Him for the rest of your life! There is nothing better! Praise God for lives that are untainted and unstained by sin! Of course, all are sinner, Rom. 3:23, but not all have plumbed the depths of depravity!)\nIV. THE DESTRUCTION OF THE TROUBLEMAKER\n(Ill. All troublemakers receive their energy from one source: Satan. Paul closes his thoughts by letting us in on the good news that there is coming a day when the father of all troublemakers will get what\u2019s coming to him. Verse 20 speaks of the destruction of the Troublemaker.)\nA. Satan Will Be Vanquished \u2013 Paul tells these battling believers that here is coming a day when their battles will all be over. Their enemy, the devil, will be bruised un their feet. The word \u201cbruised\u201d means \u201cto smash to shivers.\u201d That is, Satan will be utterly destroyed one day soon!\nOf course, now he knows his time is short, Rev. 12:12. He is pulling out all the stops, trying to take as many souls to hell as possible. He is trying to do as much damage as he can in the time he has left. He is trying to destroy home and divide church. He is trying to wreck lives and steal youth. He is trying to do all he can to tear down the kingdom of God. But, there is coming a day when he will be brought low! He will bow before Jesus and then he will go to Hell, Rev. 20:1-10.\nB. The Saints Will Be Victorious \u2013 Notice the phrase \u201cunder your feet\u201d. The idea is that of the ancient practice of a victor placing his foot on the next of his conquered foe to show that he had prevailed. Paul is reminding believers that when the smoke has all cleared away and the dust of this life has settled down, when Satan has been consigned to Hell and sin and death have all been out away forever, we will still be standing! Our faith in Christ is sufficient to guarantee us an endless eternity in the presence of Almighty God.\nConc: Paul ends this verse with a prayer for grace. My friends, we need grace to make it day by day! If we are going to take our stand for Jesus against the troublemakers and the ultimate troublemaker, then we need grace. If we are to enjoy God\u2019s victory as we fight the battles of life, then we need grace. Thank God for grace sufficient from a supply that will never diminish, 2 Cor. 12:9.\nHas the Lord dealt with your heart tonight? Are you saved? Have you been guilty of joining hands with the devil and causing trouble at the house of God? Are you living a life that insulates you against being caught up in the deception and wiles of the devil and his people? If there is a need, there is help in Jesus! You come to Him and He will give you what you need!\n\u2190 When God is taken out of any society Germany and Soviet Union \u2192",

        "raw_content": "In her introduction,\nhttp://truth-saves.forumotion.com/your-religious-views-f6/hi-everyone-t26.htm :\nAren't they? I'm pretty sure Jesus talks about heaven, as in \"no rich man shall ever enter heaven\". Also hell, as \"eternal damnation\" or something. I wouldn't know where to find the trinity, but the rapture is in revelations and should be easy to find.\n@Courtney: You've just pulled the worst trick that can be pulled on any atheist. You made me reach for my bible!\nRe: Are heaven, hell and trinity in the bible?\nThe existence of heaven:\n23Then Jesus said to his disciples, \"I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.\"\nMatthew 18:1-4 wrote:\n1At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, \"Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?\"\n2He called a little child and had him stand among them. 3And he said: \"I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.\nApparently, \"heaven\" is interchangeable with \"the kingdom of God\", and it seems to be all over the New Testament.\nThe existence of hell:\nAn online search for \"hell\" gives more than enough appropriate passages:\n# Matthew 5:22\nBut I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, 'Raca, ' is answerable to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell.\nAnd if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.\n# Matthew 10:28\nI'll be back on the rapture - if I can get my hands on enough grass to smoke my way through revelations. Meanwhile, Courtney, where did I go wrong in thinking that Heaven and Hell do appear in the Bible?\ncourtney on Sat Jan 16, 2010 2:34 am\nNiels wrote: In her introduction,\nWhile it is true that Christ talks about heaven, nowhere is it mentioned as a reward, or that people go there when they die. Or going to burn in hell for eternity as a punishment. The term hell is nothing more than the grave. The reward is eternal life, the punishment is eternal death, with no hope of another resurrection.\nYou won't find the trinity, because is isn't in the bible. The \"rapture\", as people believe, isn't going to happen. Christ isn't going to \"call His own\" suddenly, millions around the world aren't going to simply vanish into thin air, with the tribulation starting afterward. Instead we go through the tribulation first, with His (very few) true followers going to an actual place of safety. Then, after the tribulation is over, when man has just about annihilated himself off the earth, Christ will return. It is at this point that His people who are still alive will be caught up with Him. This will be after His people who have died are resurrected to be with Him.\nNiels wrote: The existence of heaven:\nThe kingdom of heaven isn't heaven itself, and shouldn't be interchangeable. Instead, it should be interchangeable with the Kingdom of God. The kingdom is going to be God's government, rather than man's, which will be set up here on earth at Christ's return. As far as hell, try replacing it with the word \"grave\". It makes alot more sense, since that is all that it really is.\ncourtney wrote: While it is true that Christ talks about heaven, nowhere is it mentioned as a reward, or that people go there when they die.\nIf they do not enter the Kingdom of Heaven when they die, then when do they? Jesus clearly talks about what one should do to enter the kingdom of heaven. How is heaven not a reward for doing those things?\ncourtney wrote: Or going to burn in hell for eternity as a punishment. The term hell is nothing more than the grave.\nLuke disagrees with you. He describes a rich man in hell, not in oblivion, but clearly conscious and in agony:\nLuke 16:22-24 wrote: 22The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried. 23In hell,[c] where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. 24So he called to him, 'Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.'\n@Courtney: To deny hell as biblical, you have to distort the text beyond any sane interpretation.\ncourtney wrote: You won't find the trinity, because is isn't in the bible.\nNot literally perhaps - but if not the trinity, then what is Matthew talking about?\nMatthew 28:19 wrote: Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit\ncourtney wrote: The \"rapture\", as people believe, isn't going to happen. Christ isn't going to \"call His own\" suddenly, millions around the world aren't going to simply vanish into thin air, with the tribulation starting afterward. Instead we go through the tribulation first, with His (very few) true followers going to an actual place of safety.\nWhat place would that be? Ehhh... The kingdom of heaven, perhaps?\ncourtney wrote: Then, after the tribulation is over, when man has just about annihilated himself off the earth, Christ will return. It is at this point that His people who are still alive will be caught up with Him. This will be after His people who have died are resurrected to be with Him.\nIf so, then who are the 24 elders sitting around the throne of God, oohing and aahing him? Were they never human, or were they resurrected early to stroke Gods ego?\nThen again, heaven seems to be filled with many-eyed monsters, bleeding lambs and angels. Perhaps \"elders\" are yet another type of heavenly creature, splashing blood all around the place or carrying bowls with disaster. Or is falling down before their master their only craft?\nI agree that your view doesn't contradict revelations. Then again, revelations is such a mess of past, present and future, reality and nightmare, square earths the size of Israel and rolled up heavens, that you can read anything in it, if you try hard enough.\nBut Courtney: What makes your interpretation more valid then any other?\ncourtney on Sat Jan 16, 2010 8:53 pm\nTo answer your questions one by one:\nSpeaking of the kingdom of heaven: Notice how it says the kingdom OF heaven, not the kingdom IN heaven. As stated previously, this kingdom will be God's government taking over rulership of earth. Man's governments will be no more. The reward will be rulership with Christ over those on earth. Man will not be in heaven rolling about in the clouds and playing harps.\n2) About Lazarus and the rich man:\nThis was nothing more than a parable. Christ did not teach without using parables. (Mark 4:33-34) But this parable does not teach that people go to heaven or hell when they die. Both men die. Most conclude that Lazarus goes to heaven, the rich man to hell. But there is nothing that states this. Lazaurs arrives at \"Abraham's bosom\", with no mention of when this occurs. The rich man is buried. Plain and simple.\nLazarus's presence at Abraham's bosom depicts a close relationship. So a special relationship is shown between Abraham and Lazarus, with no reference to either time or place. Abraham is not in heaven, he is dead. (John 8:52-53) He is not waiting in heaven for people to come and recline on his bosom. The meek inherit the earth when Christ returns. Abraham and Lazarus will be resurrecte into the kingdom of god at Christ's return. That is the meaning of the phrase.\nThe rich man is obviously in hell. However, the word translated as hell here is \"hades\". This makes sense because hades is the grave, and the verse says the rich man was buried. He was also in \"torment\". The Greek word translated torment is \"basanos\". It means \"a touchstone, having to do with touching pure gold, against the particular stone, to test it's purity and validity,... to be under a severe trial, torture\". The rich man was, in fact, mentally tortured and in a severe trial. He was facing the lake of fire! He had missed out on salvation and could clearly see Abraham and Lazarus in the kingdom of God.\nRead the verses carefully. The rich man requests that Lazarus cool his tongue with a tiny amount of water, on the tip of his finger. If you were roasting in a condtion involving walls of fire all around you, would you merely ask for a few drops of water to cool your tongue? I'm running out of time, I'll be back to continue this later.\ncourtney wrote: The reward will be rulership with Christ over those on earth.\nSo, there is a reward for good behavior, then? I thought you were denying the reward-concept...\nMan will not be in heaven rolling about in the clouds and playing harps.\nNo one here suggested that heaven looked like that. We should use a broader definition of \"heaven\": I opt for \"a place of happiness where you go after you die\". We don't know where that place is; we do know that it's not here and not now. Agreed?\nAbout heaven:\nAll through Matthew, there are indications of some place where God resides, and a place where people go to when they obey the commandments. It's not clear that they are the same place; neither is it clear that that place is here on earth. As far as I see, all options are hinted at least once. Jesus is a weasel, never making any solid statement.\nAnyway: It doesn't really matter where or when heaven is - it is not here and not now. It is either somewhere else or somewhen else, and good people go there after they die. Defined like that, heaven is in the bible.\nAbout hell: I'm sorry to say this, Courtney, but you are rambling. You blatantly contradict yourself:\ncourtney wrote: The rich man is buried. Plain and simple.\nThat seems consistent with your view that bad people simply cease to exist. Then you write:\nThe rich man was, in fact, mentally tortured and in a severe trial. He was facing the lake of fire!\nSo, he was mentally tortures after his death. What more definition of hell do you want? Is it only \"hell\" if it has literal sulfur fires and little horned demons with 3-toothed forks?\ncourtney on Sun Jan 17, 2010 8:44 pm\nTo put it plain and simple, since you missed the last line that said I would be back to finish, the \"bad people\" will be thrown in the lake of fire, burn up and be gone forever. There will be no eternal torture or burning forever in hell.\nClint on Mon Jan 18, 2010 7:17 am\nI'll just jump in. Re: the Trinity spans both testaments, so you need to have read both to see it. In the OT, we have verse after verse of God decreeing how he's the only saviour, how he's the only God, the only Lord, etc. Desperate to drive that one home! Then in the NT we have sayings such as \"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God.\" - John 1:1. Which then continues into stating that Jesus is the word, Jesus is the all mighty God, the heavenly father, the saviour in several different passages. In which in the OT is all ascribed to the one and only God Yahweh. Hence the trinity, which is definitely in there. Yet at the same time there are many, many other verses you can extract that make a clear distinction between the two identities. Once again - it leaves it open for cherry picking.\nAs for heaven and hell not being in the bible - that's simply wrong. There's constant references to both of them. Not so much in the OT of course, but the NT. Whether your idea of heaven is some alternate reality where you get zapped after you die, or some other place where you bath in Gods glory, or whether you believe in heaven on earth. What ever version you believe, heaven is clearly in the bible, and time and time again its described as a reward for those of us which follow Gods laws, or accept Jesus Christ as their lord and saviour (what ever your particular belief is). In Matthew 12:40 we are told that just as Jonas spent three days in a whale\u2019s belly, Jesus when he spends three nights in hell will be \u201cin the heart of the earth.\u201d Ephesians 4:9 describes Jesus\u2019 time in hell as being a descent in to the \u201clower parts of the earth.\u201d Several verses like Isaiah 14:15 describe Hell as being at the bottom of a pit. and Numbers 16:32-33 makes it crystal clear that the Bible truly states Hell is supposedly in the center of the Earth. Numbers gives accounts of people falling into hell alive and mentions that \u201cthe earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them\u201d and that they fell down \u201cinto the pit, and the earth closed upon them.\u201d\nSo what ever your interpretation of heaven and hell may be. They are clearly in the bible. It's mentioned many times, along with instructions of 'whats' and 'hows' of what someone might do to arrive at these places. It also gives brief descriptions, incitations and glimpses of what each of these places are like. (How else is he going to lure people).\n...They are biblical.\nNiels on Mon Jan 18, 2010 9:50 am\n@Clint: Thanks for saving me the trouble of going through the Old Testament. Between us, we've gathered enough quotes to make our point: That heaven, hell, the trinity and the reward-system are most certainly biblical.\nI have the impression that Courtney agrees with us on most, if not all, points. Her view of heaven and hell differs only marginally from the view of other Christians. For Christians these differences are big enough to wage war over (as has been done repeatedly) but to us atheists it's they're the same: Interpretations of a fairy tale.\nWe have a word for people that try to find meaning in that specific fairy tale: We call them Christians, and that's what Courtney is.\nlawandorder on Fri Jan 22, 2010 4:10 pm\nHell was the name of a small city. In hell, there were dumps that burned from the sacrificed animals. That is why the wormword lives.\nThe bible states that the dead know nothing. Their thoughts cease. The wages of sin is death. No eternal punishment here. Just death. No thoughts, non existent. God never told Adam and Eve they would burn in an eternal torment. He told them they would die.\nThe trinity is a manmade concept. It is not scriptural in any way. There is one God, one Son, and one Spirit. I don't even want to get into this concept at this time. The rapture is also a manmade concept, not even mentioned in the bible.\nIn Matthew, Jesus told his disciples that some of them standing there with him, that generation, would not pass away or see death before he returned. He says nothing about 2000 or so years in the future. He spoke to that generation, to those disciples!! Some of them standing next to him would see his return!!! Got it? He didn't say you will see my transfiguration, you will see my return!\nI am an agnostic. I was raised a fundamentalist christian. After years of frustration and lots of questions, I started researching. While I do believe in a creator, everything else is up for grabs for me. I believe that Jesus was a prophet. Son of God? How about son of Mary and Joseph? Let's be intelligent and realistic here. Mary was a young woman. She was engaged to Joseph. She got pregnant. She had to come up with a story so she and Joseph would not be stoned to death.\nOk, I'm rambling. I've said too much already. More later.\nlawandorder wrote: Hell was the name of a small city. In hell, there were dumps that burned from the sacrificed animals. That is why the wormword lives.\nThe bible states that the dead know nothing. Their thoughts cease. The wages of sin is death. No eternal punishment here. Just death. No thoughts, non existent.\nIf you've read through this thread, you'd have found bible quotes contradicting your claim. Did you read the thread, or just the title?\nGod never told Adam and Eve they would burn in an eternal torment. He told them they would die.\nThat something is not in Genesis, doesn't mean it's not in the Bible.\nThe trinity is a manmade concept. It is not scriptural in any way. There is one God, one Son, and one Spirit. I don't even want to get into this concept at this time.\nNo atheist will deny that the trinity is a man made concept. The bible is a man made concept. Still: God+Son+Spirit=3, which is all that's needed to talk about a trinity.\nThe rapture is also a manmade concept, not even mentioned in the bible.\nMan made concept: Yes. Not mentioned in the bible: Read this thread from the top, please. We've covered this.\nRead revelations.\nIf you want to be \"intelligent\" and \"realistic\", then don't treat the bible like it were an account of history or the word of any god. It's a fairy tale.\nWelcome to the forum, L&O.\nNiels pretty much summed up what I was going to say :-) - Ta! Note to readers: When reading Revelations, it probably will help to have a few drinks before hand as that book is seriously tripped out! ...Thomas Jefferson puts it beautiful; \"...merely the ravings of a maniac, no more worthy nor capable of explanation than the incoherences of our own nightly dreams.\"\n& to rehash something he has also mentioned, when biblical concepts are in dispute, it's always helpful to give the biblical passage (even if its just \"rev 13:1-10\") - can only help your cause :-)\n@lawandorder\nThis is just one example where they get it from. In Matthew 25:41-46 it says 41 \"Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:\" ...then in 46 \"And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.\" There are lots of other references to hell, but for some, you can re-read this thread.\nAlong with the Rapture, they get it from such verses:\n1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 \"But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up [Greek word is \"harpazo\" meaning to \"seize\"] together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord.\"\nMatthew 24:31 \"And He will send forth His angels with A great trumpet and they will gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.\"\nAgain - due to the lack of coherency and plausibility in the bible, i'd just take such verses as nonsensical rants of a loony (but then again, I use my brain). But each and every Christian sect will interpret and cherry pick all of these passages to take what appeals to them. At least the old testament was more to the point and didn't dance around so much with what it said. I don't think anyone would argue Heaven isn't in the bible. A lot of the 'Hell' references are riddled up in symbolic poetry, but is definitely there. And in my opinion, you can draw fuzzy conclusions either way on the 'trinity' and 'rapture' as these concepts are coated in babble and incoherency.\n\u00bb Tomato and basil, a marriage made in heaven - Not just caprese salad",

        "raw_content": "Researchers in Mexico find the largest underwater archaeological site in the world\nRejoice archaeology, fans researchers in Mexico have discovered what is considered the largest underwater archaeological site on the planet.\nOne of the lesser-known corners of the Mayan underworld has finally come to light.\nThe most extensive system of flooded caves ever recorded has been discovered in Tulum, in the Mexican Riviera Maya.\nSome of the artifacts discovered by divers.\nA group of explorers of the Mayan Great Aquifer project has found that the Sac Act\u00fan and Dos Ojos systems are connected, which has opened a new passage in an underground labyrinth that measures about 347 kilometers. The researchers have found hundreds of archeological objects that show a robust Mayan culture presence in the region, as well as extinct animals.\n\u201cThis immense cave system represents the most important submerged archaeological site in the world,\u201d says Guillermo de Anda, specialist of the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) and director of the research.\nThe cenotes (from the Maya word dzonoot), as the immense natural pits, sinkholes or eyes of water are referred to in Mexico, occupied a central place in the Mayan cosmogony.\nThey were revered as the underworld and the third level of the Mayan universe, after heaven and earth, but without a negative connotation like hell in Christianity.\nThe ancient Maya considered this a \u2018very powerful, magical region, where the supernatural reigns, where the gods and deities lived, where good and bad coexist, and it was also where men came from,\u2019 says De Anda.\nThe cenotes were, in the words of the researcher, \u201cthe main stage of the myth of creation\u201d of that civilization, which extended from the southeast of Mexico to Honduras and El Salvador.\nFurthermore, the findings give an account of that mystical sense.\nThe massive underwater cave system is a treasure trove containing the history of the Yucatan Peninsula.\nResearchers found remains of Mayan pottery vessels, objects that date back to colonial times and funerary or sacrificial contexts, which researchers are still analyzing.\nThere were also human remains and a large number of animals such as giant sloths, bears, tigers and ancient horses.\n\u201cIt is a time tunnel, which transports us into a time 12,000 and 10,000 years ago,\u201d says De Anda.\nThe difficult access to the cenotes has helped that the archaeological materials are preserved in optimal conditions for their study, without alterations or wear by the contact of men.\nResearchers at the Great Maya Aquifer needed ten months to decipher the connection between the two flooded cave systems, which they have described as an \u201cintense\u201d work season that began in March of last year.\nSome members of the team, such as head diver Robert Schmittner, have spent more than 20 years scouring the underwater galleries and 14 years looking for the connection between the great caverns.\n\u201cWe had come very close before, we were once a meter away from connecting both systems,\u201d says Schmittner.\n\u201cIt was like walking the veins of a body, a labyrinth of paths that joined and separated and we had to be very careful,\u201d the diver added while speaking about the water passages, which in some cases were only one meter deep, having also deeper parts reaching 120 meters underground.\nThe discovery was made on January 10 and being united; the \u201cnew\u201d system has adopted the name of Sac Act\u00fan (from the Maya \u2018white cave\u2019), the larger of the two and the Dos Ojos system has ceased to exist.\nSac Act\u00fan was until a couple of days ago the second largest system of cenotes, behind Ox Bel Ha that translates into Spanish as three waterways, which measures about 270 kilometers and is also located in the Riviera Maya.\nDespite the finding, the researchers continue exploring the connections of Sac Act\u00fan with two other underground systems.\nIt is estimated that only in the north of Quintana Roo, in the Yucatan Peninsula, there are 1,400 underground kilometers of fresh water, spread over 358 systems, according to the speleological survey of the southern Mexican state. The next steps are the analysis of groundwater and the study of diversity, as well as the adoption of measures to help conserve the site.",

        "raw_content": "Hope in Blair's ideas on African Development.\nThe Honorable Tony Blair's Ideas on African Development A small ray of light?\nThe most optimistic development on poverty reduction in Africa was the Honorable Tony Blair's (the Prime Minister of Great Britain) commitment to increase awareness of the issue and to seek ways of addressing it. The timing of the commitment was unprecedented. It is not that other leaders in the west had not pondered the issue before. They had. However, Blair put an interesting spin on it. First, he was strategically positioned to create significant change. First, he is the Prime Minister of Great Britain, a country with colonial connections to the continent. Secondly, was at the time of initiation of his effort poised to become the President of the European Union, and president of the G8 nations, whose members also have considerable connections to the continent.\nThe initiative was well orchestrated by involved rock stars such Geldof and encouraging citizen groups such as the \"Make Poverty History\" group. The orchestration climaxed when a world-wide concert (Live 8) was staged by Geldof. To top-off things, our very own Madiba - Nelson Mandela was called upon to join the movement (we not talking NRM here). He rallied the entire world in a few powerful words: \"sometimes it falls upon a generation to be great. You can be that great generation\".\nThe initiation of the African assistance initiative was done right. Mr. Blair consulted extensively on the issue. He set up a commission to investigate the reasons why all that aid that was provided to Africa in the past has had no effect. The commission was facilitated to gather opinions from Africans, relief aid experts and African sympathizers all over the world. Despotic leaders were left out of some activities, because it was realized that they had nothing new to contribute. There were plenty of reasons for optimism and hope. At last, something positive about Africa was happening.\nThe (British) Economic Commission on Africa did its job and reported its finding and made recommendations for the future. Among the many recommendations, the following are the most outstanding:\nThat the wealthier countries should forgive the debt of the most desperate countries.\nThat the wealthier countries should increase trade with the poor nation.\nThat trade barriers should be reduced or eliminated.\nThat the wealthier countries should double their budget commitments to aid assistance.\nThat more money should be spent on developing infrastructure to allow trade among African countries.\nThat there should be efforts to fight corruption\nThat donor countries should consider good governance as a major criterion for providing aid.\nIn our opinion, the first 4 recommendation in the list above may not occur for a few years. A considerable amount of bureaucratic and legislative work is required to re-orient the thinking in the various donor countries and even when the re-orientation occurs, infrastructures required to deliver programs may take some time to develop. The British who are the champions of this initiative are already admitting that they failed to complete their ambitious development agenda in 2005.\nRecommendation number 5 in our opinion is perhaps the best hope for producing change in income for the larger majority of poor people. With better transportation infrastructure, between neighboring African countries, even rural people can participate in inter-country trade instead of limiting such trade to the elites in urban areas. It would allow income levels to improve more rapidly in rural areas.\nRecommendations #6 & #7 are perhaps the areas where the quickest results can be obtained. These are justified in order to avoid wasting western countries tax-payer money on bullies who cling to power even when it is apparent a change is necessary for a country to move ahead on poverty reduction. In this regard, the recent announcement that \"Prime Minister Tony Blair has shown real moral courage with his decision... to end bilateral aid to the Meles Zenawi Ethiopian regime (Leaders, January 20) because of the human rights record of the Meles government\" is welcome news. It is really that simple. The response to all despotic governments should be; move aside or face consequences. To do otherwise is morally repugnant.\nLong live the people of Uganda. Long Live UPC. Long live Mama Miria Kalule Obote.",

        "title": "To the Bishops of the Episcopal Conference of Ireland on their \"ad Limina\" visit (October 28, 2006) | BENEDICT XVI",
        "raw_content": "TO THE BISHOPS OF IRELAND\nON THEIR AD LIMINA VISIT\nIn the words of a traditional Irish greeting, a hundred thousand welcomes to you, the Bishops of Ireland, on the occasion of your ad Limina visit. As you venerate the tombs of the Apostles Peter and Paul, may you draw inspiration from the courage and vision of these two great saints, who so faithfully led the way in the Church\u2019s mission of proclaiming Christ to the world. Today you have come to strengthen the bonds of communion with the Successor of Peter, and I gladly express my appreciation for the gracious words addressed to me on your behalf by Archbishop Se\u00e1n Brady, President of your Episcopal Conference. The constant witness of countless generations of Irish people to their faith in Christ and their fidelity to the Holy See has shaped Ireland at the deepest level of her history and culture. We are all aware of the outstanding contribution that Ireland has made to the life of the Church, and the extraordinary courage of her missionary sons and daughters who have carried the Gospel message far beyond her shores. Meanwhile, the flame of faith has continued bravely burning at home through all the trials afflicting your people in the course of their history. In the words of the Psalmist, \u201cI will sing for ever of your love, O Lord, through all ages my mouth shall proclaim your truth\u201d (Ps 89:1).\nThe present time brings many new opportunities to bear witness to Christ and fresh challenges for the Church in Ireland. You have spoken about the consequences for society of the rise in prosperity that the last fifteen years have brought. After centuries of emigration, which involved the pain of separation for so many families, you are experiencing for the first time a wave of immigration. Traditional Irish hospitality is finding unexpected new outlets. Like the wise householder who brings forth from his treasure \u201cwhat is new and what is old\u201d (Mt 13:52), your people need to view the changes in society with discernment, and here they look to you for leadership. Help them to recognize the inability of the secular, materialist culture to bring true satisfaction and joy. Be bold in speaking to them of the joy that comes from following Christ and living according to his commandments. Remind them that our hearts were made for the Lord and that they find no peace until they rest in him (cf. Saint Augustine, Confessions, 1:1).\nSo often the Church\u2019s counter-cultural witness is misunderstood as something backward and negative in today\u2019s society. That is why it is important to emphasize the Good News, the life-giving and life-enhancing message of the Gospel (cf. Jn 10:10). Even though it is necessary to speak out strongly against the evils that threaten us, we must correct the idea that Catholicism is merely \u201ca collection of prohibitions\u201d. Sound catechesis and careful \u201cformation of the heart\u201d are needed here, and in this regard you are blessed in Ireland with solid resources in your network of Catholic schools, and in so many dedicated religious and lay teachers who are seriously committed to the education of the young. Continue to encourage them in their task and ensure that their catechetical programmes are based on The Catechism of the Catholic Church, as well as the new Compendium. Superficial presentations of Catholic teaching must be avoided, because only the fullness of the faith can communicate the liberating power of the Gospel. By exercising vigilance over the quality of the syllabuses and the course-books used and by proclaiming the Church\u2019s doctrine in its entirety, you are carrying out your responsibility to \u201cpreach the word \u2026 in season and out of season \u2026 unfailing in patience and in teaching\u201d (2 Tim 4:2).\nIn the exercise of your pastoral ministry, you have had to respond in recent years to many heart-rending cases of sexual abuse of minors. These are all the more tragic when the abuser is a cleric. The wounds caused by such acts run deep, and it is an urgent task to rebuild confidence and trust where these have been damaged. In your continuing efforts to deal effectively with this problem, it is important to establish the truth of what happened in the past, to take whatever steps are necessary to prevent it from occurring again, to ensure that the principles of justice are fully respected and, above all, to bring healing to the victims and to all those affected by these egregious crimes. In this way, the Church in Ireland will grow stronger and be ever more capable of giving witness to the redemptive power of the Cross of Christ. I pray that by the grace of the Holy Spirit, this time of purification will enable all God\u2019s people in Ireland to \u201cmaintain and perfect in their lives that holiness which they have received from God\u201d (Lumen Gentium, 40).\nThe fine work and selfless dedication of the great majority of priests and religious in Ireland should not be obscured by the transgressions of some of their brethren. I am certain that the people understand this, and continue to regard their clergy with affection and esteem. Encourage your priests always to seek spiritual renewal and to discover afresh the joy of ministering to their flocks within the great family of the Church. At one time, Ireland was blessed with such an abundance of priestly and religious vocations that much of the world was able to benefit from their apostolic labours. In recent years, though, the number of vocations has fallen sharply. How urgent it is, then, to heed the Lord\u2019s words: \u201cThe harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few. Pray, therefore, the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into his harvest\u201d (Mt 9:37-38). I am pleased to learn that many of your dioceses have adopted the practice of silent prayer for vocations before the Blessed Sacrament. This should be warmly encouraged. Yet above all, it falls to you, the Bishops, and to your clergy to offer young people an inspiring and attractive vision of the ordained priesthood. Our prayer for vocations \u201cmust lead to action so that from our praying heart a spark of our joy in God and in the Gospel may arise, enkindling in the hearts of others a readiness to say \u2018yes\u2019\u201d (Address to Priests and Permanent Deacons, Freising, 14 September 2006). Even if Christian commitment is considered unfashionable in some circles, there is a real spiritual hunger and a generous desire to serve others among the young people of Ireland. A vocation to the priesthood or the religious life offers an opportunity to respond to this desire in a way that brings deep joy and personal fulfilment.\nAllow me to add an observation that is close to my heart. For many years, Christian representatives of all denominations, political leaders and many men and women of good will have been involved in seeking means to ensure a brighter future for Northern Ireland. Although the path is arduous, much progress has been made in recent times. It is my prayer that the committed efforts of those concerned will lead to the creation of a society marked by a spirit of reconciliation, mutual respect and willing cooperation for the common good of all.\nAs you prepare to return to your Dioceses, I commend your apostolic ministry to the intercession of all the saints of Ireland, and I assure you of my deep affection and constant prayer for you and for the Irish people. May Our Lady of Knock watch over and protect you always. To all of you, and to the priests, religious and lay faithful of your beloved island I cordially impart my Apostolic Blessing as a pledge of peace and joy in the Lord Jesus Christ.",

        "raw_content": "Kids can climb mountains\nI stopped, Ollie tugging on the leash to carry on. The woods were quiet.\nOllie was anxious, his hunting instincts had kicked in. A deer had crossed our path early on our walk to the top of the mountain, which by Rhode Island standards would have been impressive, but really is nothing more than a hill in upper New York. Ollie\u2019s rear legs were shaking, his tongue was hanging.\nSunlight angled through the heavy canopy of oak, ash, hickory, maple and beech, lighting blankets of ferns. The woods were silent. I wasn\u2019t surprised, for surely any living creature within a half-mile radius knew we were coming.\nOlivia was enthusiastic when I suggested we take Ollie for a walk and climb the mountain.\n\u201cCan we go now?\u201d she asked expectantly.\nI suggested we go after breakfast, maybe in a half hour. In five minutes she was asking again.\n\u201cAnother five minutes,\u201d I said heading back to the house to see if the coffee was ready. I poured myself a mug and headed upstairs. I didn\u2019t want to be walking through the woods in flip-flops especially with Ollie tugging on the leash.\nOlivia would be good company, besides it would take her away from the iPad, which came out as soon as she and her father arrived in his convertible. He is the foreman of a crew that started repainting the house earlier in the week. Thus far the work was focused on scraping and sanding. The cedar clapboards were pock marked giving the house a sorrowful and furlong look.\nOlivia\u2019s dad was good with the mountain plan and with his approval her level of expectation reached a new high.\n\u201cI guess we\u2019d better get climbing,\u201d I said, finishing off my coffee.\n\u201cYeah,\u201d said Olivia reaching to give me a high five. We slapped hands, making us instant companions for the trek ahead. Ollie didn\u2019t need any prompting. We set off through the woods, a short walk to the upper road.\nOllie led the way, sniffing the forest floor thick with fallen leaves. These were not the long and thoughtful sniffs of our Warwick walks, where he deliberately rotates around a spot, anchored until you pull on the leash to move on. No, he was in a tracking mode, moving swiftly ahead.\nOlivia was trailing.\n\u201cIs this the mountain?\u201d she asked after we had barely covered 100 yards. She didn\u2019t wait for an answer.\n\u201cLast time I walked in the woods was a long time ago. I was five,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m eight now.\u201d\nI paused for her to catch up. She was smiling. She grabbed on to Ollie\u2019s leash. He jerked her forward.\n\u201cI think you should take him.\u201d I didn\u2019t object. He was straining to move on.\n\u201cDo you have a brother or sister?\u201d\n\u201cA brother,\u201d she said. She told me he was older, but she didn\u2019t know how old. She didn\u2019t remember when she saw him last. Her dialog was unguarded and innocent.\n\u201cMy parents are divorced. It hurt a lot.\u201d\nThe sudden turn in her conversation threw me off. I kept walking, waiting for her to tell me more if she wanted. We were now on the road and moving faster to Ollie\u2019s satisfaction. Olivia lagged behind.\n\u201cI\u2019m back here,\u201d I heard her say. I turned and she ran to catch up.\n\u201cWhat are those? They look like giant ears.\u201d We had left the traveled road and we walking on the park service road. Grass grew between the ruts. The ears were a fallen branch.\n\u201cHow much further,\u201d she wanted to know.\nI told her it wasn\u2019t too far to the mountain trail. She kept up her pace and when we arrived at the trailhead we paused to look into the woods.\nOlivia was up for it. Ollie had the leash sprung tight. He\u2019d be pulling me up.\nWe walked in silence for a couple of minutes, but silence is tough for Olivia.\n\u201cWhat\u2019s it like at the top?\u201d\nWondering whether we\u2019d make it, I thought it best to change the topic.\n\u201cThink of the craziest thing for breakfast,\u201d I suggested.\n\u201cPancakes,\u201d she said.\n\u201cRight,\u201d I said, \u201cwith tomatoes on top.\u201d\n\u201cThen some blueberries and syrup.\u201d\n\u201cI think we should add a layer of cheese and broccoli.\u201d\n\u201cOh, I hate broccoli.\u201d\n\u201cThen it should be spinach.\u201d\n\u201cNot spinach, I don\u2019t like that either.\u201d\nWe\u2019d made progress, but our breakfast diversion hadn\u2019t deflected the question, how much further to the top?\nOlivia had fallen behind. Ollie was in the vanguard.\n\u201cThere\u2019s an ice cream shop at the top.\u201d\n\u201cWhat did you say?\u201d Olivia queried.\n\u201cI don\u2019t know if they\u2019d be open.\u201d\n\u201cI\u2019m just as good if they aren\u2019t open,\u201d I said. \u201call they have is chocolate and I\u2019m so sick of chocolate ice cream.\u201d\n\u201cI love it,\u201d she announced. She told me about the divorce and how her father had to go to court. She was relieved not to testify.\n\u201cThey had the pictures of the bumps where I was bitten by the bugs.\u201d I asked about her mother. She said she sees her once or twice a year.\n\u201cMy father takes care of me,\u201d she said.\nThis was all petty serious conversation for anyone, least of all an eight-year old.\n\u201cReally,\u201d she said in amazement.\nI pointed to the last hump in the trail, just before it leveled off. There\u2019s a bit of a view between the trees, but nothing spectacular, certainly not worthy of being called a summit.\n\u201cI don\u2019t see the ice cream shop,\u201d I said.\nShe smiled. \u201cYou were kidding.\u201d\nI winked. She knew.\nWe kept walking. Then she asked the question about whether I had heard it or not.\n\u201cIt sounded like an owl,\u201d I said straining to hear it again.\nOlivia stood looking at me. She was smiling again.\n\u201cIt\u2019s my stomach,\u201d she announced. \u201cIt growled.\u201d\nKids can climb mountains, but their stomachs always let them know when to stop.\n\u201cTime for pancakes; let\u2019s head back.\u201d\nWe took the shortcut, straight down the side of the hill\u2026I mean mountain.",

What decisions or behaviors might help your personal finances, your retirement prospects, or your net worth?\nEach year presents a \u201cclean slate,\u201d so as one year ebbs into another, it is natural to think about what you might do (or do differently) in the 12 months ahead.\nFinancially speaking, what New Year\u2019s resolutions might you want to make for 2016 \u2013 and what can you do to stick by such resolutions as 2016 unfolds?\nStrive to maximize your 2016 retirement plan contributions. The 2016 limit on IRA contributions is $5,500, $6,500 if you will be 50 or older at some point in the year. Contribution limits are set at $18,000 for 401(k)s, 403(b)s, and most 457 plans; if you will be 50 or older in 2016, you can make an additional catch-up contribution of up to $6,000 to those accounts.1\nIf you want to retire in 2016, be mindful of the end of \u201cfile & suspend.\u201d Social Security is closing the door on the file-and-suspend claiming strategy that married couples have used to try and optimize their Social Security benefits. If you are married and you will you be at least 66 years old by April 30, 2016, you and your spouse still have a chance to use the strategy. Starting May 1, that chance disappears forever for all married couples. (It will still be permitted on an individual basis.)2,3\nSimilarly, the opportunity to file a restricted application for spousal benefits has also gone away. This was another tactic retirees employed in pursuit of greater lifetime Social Security income.2\nCan you review & reduce your debt? Look at your debts, one by one. You may be able to renegotiate the terms of loans and interest rates with lenders and credit card firms. See if you can cut down the number of debts you have \u2013 either attack the one with the highest interest rate first or the smallest balance first, then repeat with the remaining debts.\nRebalance your portfolio. If you have rebalanced recently, great. Many investors go years without rebalancing, which can be problematic if you own too much in a declining sector.\nSee if you can solidify some retirement variables. Accumulating assets for retirement is great; doing so with a planned retirement age and an estimated retirement budget is even better. The older you get, the less hazy those variables start to become. See if you can define the \u201cwhen\u201d of retirement this year \u2013 that may make the \u201chow\u201d and \u201chow much\u201d clearer as well.\nThe same applies to college planning. If your child has now reached his or her teens, see if you can get a ballpark figure on the cost of attending local and out-of-state colleges. Even better, inquire about their financial aid packages and any relevant scholarships and grants. If you have college savings built up, you can work with those numbers and determine how those savings need to grow in the next few years.\nHow do you keep New Year\u2019s resolutions from faltering? Often, New Year\u2019s resolutions fail because there is only an end in mind \u2013 a clear goal, but no concrete steps toward realizing it.\nSo, if your aim is to save $20,000 toward retirement this year, map out the month-by-month contribution to your retirement account(s) that will help you do it. Web tools like Level Money and Mint.com can help you examine your cash flow week-to-week and month-to-month \u2013 you can use them to keep track of your saving effort as well as other aspects of your finances.4\nIf you wish, you can let a loved one or a close friend in on your New Year\u2019s financial resolutions. That loved one or friend may decide to adopt them. Even if he or she does not, sharing your resolution might increase your commitment to carrying it out. Dominican University of California did a study on this very subject and found that when people set near-term goals and kept those goals private, they achieved them about 35% of the time \u2013 but when they informed friends about them and sent weekly progress updates, the achievement rate surpassed 70%.4\nLastly, you may want to automate more of your financial life. If you have not set up monthly money transfers to a retirement or investment account, 2016 can be the year this happens.\n1 \u2013 money.usnews.com/money/retirement/articles/2015/10/26/how-401-k-s-and-iras-will-and-wont-change-in-2016 [10/26/15]\n2 \u2013 money.usnews.com/money/retirement/articles/2015/12/04/say-goodbye-to-the-social-security-file-and-suspend-strategy [12/4/15]\n3 \u2013 tinyurl.com/p3exq5s [12/18/15]\n4 \u2013 forbes.com/sites/bethbraverman/2015/12/29/4-tricks-to-get-your-new-years-resolutions-to-actually-stick-this-year/print/ [12/29/15",

        "raw_content": "New Ross youths forced to emigrate to cut unemployment figures\nTwice as many New Ross people are emigrating as are coming off the live register into employment on average, according to a local spokesperson for Sinn F\u00e9in. Oisin O' Connell said that figures showing that over 150,000 under 25's have emigrated since 2008 while the rate of unemployment within that group stays at 26.5% shows that we have a crisis that is not being addressed by our government.\n\"There are currently 7250 leaving Ireland every month in search of employment and a better life abroad,\" Mr O' Connell said, \"Make no mistake they are not choosing to leave, this is not a lifestyle choice as a certain Fianna Fail Minister once said. This is forced emigration. Our friends and neighbours from across South Wexford are being forced out due to the mismanagement of the economy by successive governments and the total failure of the austerity politics.\"\n\"Twice as many people are emigrating as are coming off the live register into employment. They are leaving because there are no jobs for them here.\"\n\"Sinn F\u00e9in have consistently called for an end to austerity politics and the introduction of a massive stimulus programme to get the country back to work. We have proposed major job creation projects within this county including the construction of a new sugar beet processing plant in New Ross, the development of Rosslare Europort and the construction of state funded business parks in the larger rural villages which ballooned in size during the boom but were never developed properly by the state at the time.\"\nTom Watson February 12, 2014 at 3:27 AM\nLooks interesting, ill be sure to check it out.

        "raw_content": "In honour of Emirati Women\u2019s Day, here is a hand-picked selection of those changing the game.\nThe UAE is proud to be bursting with women working tirelessly towards making the country great.\nAnd, while we try to celebrate them every day here at EmiratesWoman.com, there\u2019s one particular day officially dedicated to the ladies of this land.\nEmirati Women\u2019s Day \u2013 which is currently in its third year \u2013 falls on August 28, and aims to recognise the contribution of the nation\u2019s women, and their role in the development and advancement of the UAE.\nSo, to honour the day, we\u2019ve pulled together a list of such UAE women making leaps and bounds, particularly in the realms of government and business.\nWe could list far, far more, but here are 10 Emiratis who\u2019ve particularly been making headlines in the last year.\nThe UAE\u2019s Minister for Tolerance is one of the UAE\u2019s most prominent names \u2013 and with very good reason. Named Forbes\u2019 most powerful woman in the Middle East in 2015, she hasn\u2019t slowed up since then (she even won the title of the most powerful Arab woman in government again in 2017). The royal is a passionate advocate for women\u2019s rights, saying this February that she was focused on putting the country at the forefront in this area.\n\u201cProviding equality in education opportunities is a key in achieving women\u2019s economic empowerment,\u201d she said according to Gulf News. \u201cEquality is an integral part of the national agenda.\u201d\nSheikha Lubna was also the first woman to hold a ministerial post in the United Arab Emirates, and the first Emirati to receive the Clinton Global Citizen Award.\nSheikha Manal bint Mohammed Al Maktoum\nThis royal \u2013 daughter of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum \u2013 is a mum-of-five as well as president of the UAE\u2019s Gender Balance Council and the Dubai Women Establishment, so it\u2019s safe to say she\u2019s got a lot on.\n\u201cIn today\u2019s rapidly evolving world, roles, responsibilities and expectations are constantly changing, especially for women,\u201d she said on founding the DWE in 2006.\n\u201cAcquiring leadership positions and playing an integral part in this process of evolution is no longer a matter of choice but a vital necessity. Every member of our society is required to contribute to making the world a better place.\u201d\nIn the last year alone, Sheikha Manal has helped establish a gender equality guidebook for UAE companies, as well as helping extend maternity leave for public sector workers.\nHE Ohood Al Roumi\nWhile the title of Minister of Happiness might seem \u201cfluffy\u201d at first glance to those not in the know, Ohood Al Roumi will be quick to tell you that couldn\u2019t be further from the truth. She takes a practical view of the subject, telling the Los Angeles Times of the brand-new role: \u201cI assure you, it\u2019s a science.\u201d\n\u201cIt touches on medicine, health, social sciences. We\u2019re trying to bring it from a broad framework into a daily practice in our society [and] in our government.\u201d\n\u201cWhat is the purpose of government if it does not work toward the happiness of the people?\u201d she asked. And we couldn\u2019t agree more.\nSince taking up her role in 2016, Al Roumi has launched several initiatives around the country, including a 100-Day Happiness Plan, and a five-month positivity training programme for local CEOs.\nHE Mona Al Marri\n\u201cThe winds of change are blowing, and believe me you don\u2019t want to be left behind,\u201d said the Vice-President of the UAE Gender Balance Council in an interview with The National this May. Al Marri is a passionate advocate for women, which makes a lot of sense considering it\u2019s her job.\n\u201cIt\u2019s time for the corporate world in our region to rewrite their gender playbooks so that they can tap fresh perspectives and ideas from women,\u201d she added in the same interview. You won\u2019t hear us arguing.\nTogether with Sheikha Manal, Al Marri has this year worked on updating the UAE\u2019s maternity laws and implementing gender equality guidebooks, as well as representing the UAE at a UN panel in New York.\nMother of the Nation Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak\nShe has dedicated decades to providing a voice for the women in the region, and the Mother of the Nation is still tirelessly doing so.\nIn 1973, Sheikha Fatima established the Abu Dhabi Women Development Association as the first women\u2019s society in the country, followed by the General Women\u2019s Union in 1975, Family Development Foundation in 2006 and Supreme Council for Motherhood and Childhood in 2003. She also played a significant role in establishing the Arab Women Organisation, (Fund for Refugee Women) in collaboration with the UN High Commission for Refugees and a website to serve immigrant Arab women.\nOverall her efforts have culminated in more than 500 awards, honouring her outstanding dedication, 30 of which were bestowed by the UN.\nThis year, the widow of HH Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan (who established Emirati Women\u2019s Day in 2015) has created the Emirati Children\u2019s Day, as well as launching the UAE\u2019s National Strategy for Motherhood and Childhood 2017-2021.\nHE Dr Raja Easa Al Gurg\nAl Gurg is the managing director of the Easa Saleh Al Gurg Group, a multidivisional conglomerate with interests in the fields of retail, building and construction.\nA Dubai-based businesswoman, Al Gurg is one of the leading women when it comes to encouraging young, female Arab entrepreneurs to achieve their potential. As President of the Dubai Business Women\u2019s Council and a Board Member of the Dubai Women Association (among many others), Al Gurg\u2019s contribution to the improvement of women\u2019s rights in the region is substantial.\nBack in 2015, Forbes Middle East considered her to be the 2nd most powerful woman in the Middle East.\nAmal Al Qubaisi\nDr Amal Al Qubaisi made history in 2015 by becoming the first woman in the Arab world to be elected as speaker of a national council.\nDr Qubaisi said of the milestone: \u201cI am proud to take this seat for the first time as a woman in the Arab world. I dedicate this achievement to the great women of the UAE, and to the Mother of the Nation, Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak.\u201d\nIn 2006 she became the first woman elected to the Federal National Council, and this year told the Global Summit of Women Speakers of Parliament that females were crucial in the quest for peace in the Middle East.\n\u201cWhen women in parliament are united, we can really move mountains, and you all know that,\u201d she told the group.\n\u201cBut when we are united as men and as women, we can really move the world, and this is what really makes a difference.\n\u201cWe live in one of the most conflicted regions in the world. Hope is our secret. We should work together not alone, male and female, youth and all generations, and with all the different sectors, our scientists and thinkers.\u201d\nHE Noura Al Kaabi\nThe twofour54 chairwoman, who was also named Minister of State for Federal National Council Affairs in 2016, has made huge leaps in growing the nation\u2019s media industry.\nAl Kaabi, who came in 15th place in Gulf Business\u2019 2017 list of 100 Most Powerful Arabs, is also a board member of the UAE\u2019s National Media Council, Image Nation, and Abu Dhabi Sports Council.\nIn 2014, she was named as one of Forbes Middle East\u2019s 30 Most Influential Women in Government, and we recommend following her on Twitter (she frequently shares super-insightful articles).\nHE Reem Al Hashimi\nReem Al Hashimi \u2013 who holds a master\u2019s degree from Harvard University \u2013 was hugely instrumental in Dubai\u2019s winning bid to host Expo 2020 (so we\u2019ll be hearing lots from her in the next three years).\nAs well as being Director General for the Expo, she is also the UAE Minister of State for International Cooperation, and became a cabinet minister in 2008. She is also is chair of Dubai Cares, a children\u2019s education charity established by Sheikh Mohammed in 2007.\nLast September, Al Hashimi revealed the UAE\u2019s plans to welcome 15,000 Syrian refugees into the Emirates over the next five years.\n\u201cUltimately, we must offer a source of hope for displaced persons that allows them to maintain dignity, return home, reintegrate themselves into their societies, and rebuild their countries and their lives,\u201d she told a UN summit .\nLana Zaki Nusseibeh\nIn 2013, ambassador Lana Zaki Nusseibeh was the first woman to be appointed Permanent Representative of the United Arab Emirates to the United Nations.\nThis year, the top diplomat was elected to the presidency of the UN-Women Executive Board for 2017.\nIn her acceptance speech, Nusseibeh said gender equality was of \u201cparamount importance\u201d to the UAE.\n\u201cThe constitution of the UAE guarantees equal rights for both women and men, and underpins the fundamental belief that women and men are equal partners in society,\u201d she said. We\u2019re confident she\u2019ll be a shining beacon for women\u2019s empowerment over the coming months.\nLink to original article: http://emirateswoman.com/10-emirati-women-shaping-the-future-of-the-uae/\n\u2190 Meet Jenna, the hijabi doll teaching kids the Quran\nBurkini-Wearing Teen Smashes Muslim Stereotypes At Pageant \u2192",

        "raw_content": "Xceptional Wildlife Removal is a full-service wildlife control company serving Roswell GA and the surrounding area.

There is no free Roswell animal control for wildlife issues.\nRoswell Wildlife Removal Tip: What should I do if I find an orphaned baby skunk wandering about?\nIf you have found a baby skunk, what is the best thing to do? Does this really matter? Do they need your help? More than 50% of the animals that the rehabbers receive are the animals that didn't need to be rescued. A lot of homeowners rescue an orphaned animal that doesn't need to be rescued. The animals make god moms and their babies will always be a better way to keep them vs. human beings. You must not rescue the wildlife and then keep it under your care. You cannot make it as your pet, since it came from the wild and its behavior is still based on the wild. The state and the federal law protects the animals from the wild even the birds. It is unlawful to keep the law and the authorities to possess the animal or the bird even their nest.\nKeeping them without a permit is punishable by the law. You will be penalized and you may be put in jail. Moreover, the dietary needs of every species of the animal are different and it is quite impossible to replicate the needs in captivity without a special training. They may be cute; however, they belong in the wild. You are not knowledgeable in taking care of the animals in the wild, so if you happen to rescue them, you must surrender them to a rehabber and then leave them there. They are more knowledgeable in taking care of them than you. The animals on the other hand, carry parasites and diseases that may be transmitted to humans from the animals. Most of the parasites can cause brain damage to humans and that may lead to death.\nThe animal might seem healthy, but still they carry some diseases like parasites. If you have cared enough for them to help an animal, just take care of them to take the last step in saving it by calling the wildlife bureau or rehabber that has the supplies you need to go on in caring for the animals. This goes to show that when you release it back to the wild, which is its natural habitat, it may or it may not survive there, but at least, the animal is free. Handling the wildlife babies must not be done, this is just to keep you protected. Handling them can be stressful to the animals and that may be very risky for you. The scent of the humans can also make them predict that there are predators around looking for food. You must never hold them with your bare hands. Take note that only the experienced adults will handle them and they were trained to do that as well.\nRoswell Animal News Clip: No current news article at this time.",

        "raw_content": "Tour Wrap\n\u201cEee\u2019s done!\u201d In the immortal and traditional french - accented words of our sound man Daniel Vetter. 53 tour dates in all - one continuous set of shows - mostly 6 days on and one off each week in three countries - the USA, Canada and UK over a period of 2 months. Quite something to undertake. Wishbone Ash used to do this kind of thing when I was in my twenties but then we had tour managers, drivers and a full crew. In my sixties it\u2019s another thing, but quite doable, driving included, if you are organized. And believe me, this unit is. With all the logistics mapped out in military precision, I must thank our agents Steve Ozark and Andy Nye for this. I often think that intelligence is the ability to predict the future based on incoming data, and if that\u2019s remotely the case, then these two guys really have it down, when working out what is actually doable in the realms of the sheer human physical ability needed for the intense touring Wishbone Ash does. I can\u2019t think of any other band that is able to do it quite the way we do. Perhaps it might scare them off if they even attempted it!\nThe shows seemed to benefit from it all, as evinced by the crisp presentation of material old and new for all the audiences we played to. We particularly enjoyed Edwardsville and some of the shows in the US Midwest. In the UK, we had a blast in Scotland with the Brian Rawson band opening (loved 'em) as well as some stand-out southern England dates where the Doris Brendell Band supported us excellently on certain shows, making for a real value for money experience. Next stop, mainland Europe with our annual pilgrimage to Holland, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria and last but by no means least, Germany, where our following remains so loyal.\nIt was great to receive the new Roadworks box set mid way through the tour and also I should let you know that before we said our goodbyes to each other, we each signed 50 copies of the vinyl version of Blue Horizon for Guy Roberts to handle by those wishing to order this item through the online store. On the subject of vinyl, we have just a handful of the Live at Metropolis Studios LPs left for anyone who was not able to pick one up on tour. Once they\u2019re gone, that\u2019s it, they\u2019re gone. On a personal note, it was a humble thrill and pleasure to sign copies of my biography, Eyes Wide Open each night. Thank you to all of you who bought a copy and gave me such wonderful feedback on its contents. Many of you have been along for the ride with me, and that means so much.\nFinally, while writing this blog/newsletter, I\u2019ve been watching news of the Paris tragedy as it unfolds on TV and the internet, along with all of you, I\u2019m sure. I fired off quick emails last night to make sure none of our French friends were directly impacted. They were all o.k. I know the Le Bataclan music venue and I also know one of the guys in the Eagles of Death Metal that played there. That particular event amongst all of it, brought home the enormity of what has gone down. Naturally, I speak for all Ash fans of our solidarity with Paris and France in this time of need. Our sincere condolences to the families of the dead and prayers for the injured. Live music will be impacted by this, I\u2019m sure, for the foreseeable future, but we\u2019ll not change our approach to it since our music knows no borders or ideology. I read a quote from Bono that sums up the current impact after his band U2 cancelled their scheduled show in Paris. He said. \"If you think about it, the majority of victims last night are music fans. This is the first direct hit on music that we've had in this so-called War on Terror or whatever it's called.\u201d That did make me think.\nLove ~ A.P.\nNext post: Road Works Box Set\nPrevious post: Orange amp restored!",

It was published in Japan in 2009.\nThe book takes the form of letters exchanged between Greg and Fumio towards the end of the 20th century and aims to give readers a window into the workings of the world of entertainment and what goes on behind the scenes.\nHidemi Okawa, a writer on Japan\u2019s Asahi Weekly magazine, calls the book \u201ctouching.\u201d The following is an excerpt of his review: \u201cThis book tells the success story of father and son, who together were able to bridge the business of circus, ice show, and other live entertainment between the U.S. and Japan.\u201d\n\u201cFumio Suzuki, born to a merchant trader in Yokohama, was educated to speak and write English due to his locality of the Yokohama port. He used this ability, which few Japanese at the time had, to sell the licensing rights of the TV series and franchise, \u201cAstro Boy,\u201d to America. Working with Hitchcock, it was the beginning of a fabulous career.\nHis son, Greg Suzuki, looked to fill these shoes after quitting a career in music. Thus, he began on a path that would take him further into the world of show business. The book details the events that take place between that time and today, in the form of letters exchanged between the two. In this poignant and inspiring book, hints of love and support between father and son are subtlety woven into the narrative.\nFumio\u2019s decisiveness and experience-based confidence and Greg\u2019s abounding effort to learn from him teach us that passion is important and the key to reaching success.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "The Declaration by Gemma Malley. (Grades 7+)\nIt's the year 2140 and scientists have discovered the secret to everlasting life. Yes, you can now get Longevity drugs, a fabulous concoction that prevents disease and renews the body so that you can live forever! There's one catch. Of course the earth's resources are not unlimited. So in order to get Longevity drugs, you must sign the Declaration. And the Declaration says that you may not have children.\nBut some people do have children.\nAnna is one of these children. They are considered Surplus, a drain on the limited resources of the planet. They are contained in dormitories where they are trained to be servants and menial laborers. To be absolutely obedient and to follow the orders of Legals. To hate their parents, the selfish people who created them.\nAnna is nearly fifteen, the age at which she will go out into the world as a housekeeper for a Legal. She's a fast learner, a good cook, obedient, observant, and quite ready to start making up for her parents' sins by being a Valuable Asset. But then a new Surplus arrives. It's strange because he's Anna's age and usually Surplus children are caught much earlier. And he says strange things... that he knows Anna's parents, that they love her and want her back...\nAnd suddenly Anna has a choice where she never had one before... Can she trust Peter? Could there really be a life for her on the outside?\nWhy did I like this book? Let me count the ways...\n1. The premise is really interesting and the more you read, the more Gemma Malley fleshes everything out. Questions are answered along the way and everything fits together really tightly. And c'mon... who doesn't like dystopian worlds where children are illegal??\n2. The characters... Near the beginning of the book, the Main Bad Lady hints that she is evil for a Reason. And it stayed with me as I read the book. And then everything was explained near the end. (And BOY HOWDY was it explained!)\n3. The cover. Well... no, not the American cover which I actually don't like at all (hey, is that the same girl who's on the cover of Boy Proof? What do you think?). But the British cover is awesome and it actually incorporates information from the book. First is the hardcover and second is the paperback. Waaay better than the American cover, in my opinion.\n4. Recommendability. Okay, so I made that word up. But still. I can think of a lot of popular books that would make great readalikes. Particularly Among the Hidden because it deals with very similar subject matter, but also Uglies (teens figuring out that their supposedly perfect world is, well, not quite) or The Adoration of Jenna Fox (just how far would you go to save a life [your own life?]).\n5. The ending. This book has quite a powerful ending. I totally didn't expect what happened, even though it made perfect sense. And when I was finished, I was so keyed up that I stayed up way past my bedtime and was really tired at work the next day. (So worth it.)\nSo. Yes. I liked it quite a bit. In fact, I am quite anxious to read the sequel (The Resistance... due out next week).\nRead more reviews at Semicolon, Curled Up With a Good Kids' Book, Jen Robinson's Book Page, and Becky's Book Reviews.\nLabels: adventure, book reviews, science fiction, ya fiction\nUNQUESTIONABLY the same model!\nYou make this book sound so exciting. I'm nabbing it off the shelf right now!\nYou'll be pleased to know that I think that the sequel is actually stronger than the first book. I'm glad you liked this one.",

Melanie Wallendorf and Paul Anderson, Provo, UT : Association for Consumer Research, Pages: 61-65.\nMARKETPLACE DYNAMICS: THE P'S OF \"PEOPLE\" AND \"PROCESS\"\nTo-date, marketing has been studied largely from a \"positivist\" perspective. In contrast to this \"cause\" or \"factor\" oriented paradigm, an alternative model is proposed. From a symbolic interactionist perspective, marketing is viewed as a process which is best understood by examining the actualities of ongoing human interaction. Marketing is defined by the relationships (including preparations, encounters, and subsequent adjustments) of the involved parties and the (symbolic) meanings of the objects being exchanged. By focusing on the \"activities\" in which people find themselves engaging, the perspectives of the people involved, their ongoing definitions of the situation, and the processes by which they work out their activities with others, this statement offers a dynamic framework from which to view marketing activity. If marketing theory is to \"come alive,\" it needs to be more sensitive to the actualities of the marketplace. It must be prepared to examine marketplace behavior as \"social activity.\nIn their opening statements to an American Marketing Association conference, Bagozzi (1979), Enis (1979) and Lutz (19 79) observed that there hat been little new conceptual work in the field of marketing over the last several years. This,they claimed, was particularly true of buyer-seller encounters and the relationships emerging therein. In addition, several others (Bunt, 1983; Anderson, 1983; and Deshpande, 1983) have more recently commented on the domination (and subsequent restrictiveness) of the positivist tradition in the field of marketing. The (positivist) emphasis has been on arriving at \"facts,\" \"models,\" and \"formulae\" designed to better able marketers to predict and control the business world. The preponderance of this approach may facilitate managerial practices. But, as Anderson (1983) contents, it toes not lead to an increased understanding of marketing as a generic human activity. Consequently, with the exceptions of Bonoma and Zaltman (1978), Levy (1978), and Reingen and Woodside (1981), there have been few attempts to understand marketing as a fundamentally \"social phenomenon.\" To better appreciate the actualities of the marketplace, we need an alternative conceptual scheme, along with a methodology sensitive to the understanding of marketplace dynamics.\nBuilding on \"symbolic interaction,\" a sociological social psychology (Meat, 1934; Blumer, 1969), this paper draws attention to the fundamentally social nature of marketplace activity and provides a conceptual scheme sensitive to the \"Ps\" of \"people\" and \"process.\" By recognizing the perspectival, reflective, negotiable, relational, and emergent nature of human behavior, it makes marketing theory attend to the actualities of exchanges. Thus, in-depth interviews, participation, and observation of buyer-seller activities are seen as vital in enabling researchers to better approximate the perspectives of the participants to the exchange, as well as their uncertainties, strategies, and ongoing adjustments to one another.\nMARKETING AS A SOCIAL SCIENCE\nSo far, those in marketing typically have focused on questions of the sort, \"What makes salespeople sell more?\" and \"Why do customers buy certain products?\" Relying heavily on experimental social psychology and survey research, and intensively searching for \"factors\" and \"causes\" of behavior, as well as \"formulae\" to better predict and control buying behavior, this approach is both arbitrary and prescriptive. It is arbitrary because it neither depicts the world experienced by the participants in the marketplace, nor studies the interaction between them. The emphasis has been on controlled quantitative data collection and on hypotheses testing. With this approach, the dynamics of the marketplace are reduced to static and one-sided versions of reality, and the data collected has been extremely narrow in nature. It is prescriptive because it is intended to make marketing a more efficient tool, rather than a phenomena to be studied in its own right. [1As Anderson (1983) notes, it will be difficult for marketing to acquire the status of a \"science\" unless more attention is given to the task of acquiring \"knowledge for knowledge's sake.\"] Surprisingly scant consideration is given to the \"actualities of doing business in its natural setting.\" It is here, by drawing attention to the social nature of all marketing and sales activity, and by depicting the ways in which these activities are worked out by the parties involved, that symbolic interactionism can make contributions to what is already an immense literature.\nThe concept of \"market mix\" represents a major attempt to provide a conceptual scheme for the field of marketing. Thus, in what has become a classic in marketing, Borden (1964) introduces the \"4 P's; product, price, promotion, and place (distribution). Although not always guided by this scheme, many research endeavors can be subsumed by these concepts. These include studies (ant evaluations) of product lines, packaging and identity, pricing structures, trends, and discounts; promotional efforts through the media, management, and salespeople; and locations, layouts. and designs.\nWhile promoting an order in a discipline characterized by fragmented realms of study, market mix (as presently formulated) neglects the two most important \"P's,\" those of \"people\" and \"process.\" It fails to appreciate the social and emergent nature of the marketplace. If marketing denotes the study of buyer-seller interaction, then \"people\" and \"process\" should represent central themes of marketing.\nWhen speaking of \"people,\" it is critical that we appreciate the perspectival and self-reflective nature of \"minded behavior.\" Not only do people acquire perspectives (i.e. \"world views,\" \"conceptual schemes,\" \"interpretative frames\"), but they also develop capacities for taking themselves (and others) into account in developing lines of action. They are not mere targets of action, they are planners and doers. People interpret situations in reference to themselves (perspectives, interests, identities). Further, insofar as they influence (negotiate and develop bonds with) one another, people's behavior cannot be causally reduced to their individual qualities.\nIt is also vital that we recognize the \"processual\" nature of group life. This is one reason that interaction is problematic in its outcome. Interaction represents the \"working out of exchanges.\" As encounters take place within an ongoing time-frame, participants can intent to selectively present themselves to others, but they can also assess their interchanges, and reorient their action towards one another on an ongoing basis (as they take themselves and others into account). By focusing on the P's of \"people\" and \"process,\" the remainder of this paper will indicate how the symbolic interactionist perspective can be used to generate a better understanding of marketplace exchanges.\nA PEOPLE AND PROCESS PERSPECTIVE\nBusiness involves the exchange of goods and services, but it is fundamentally \"social activity.\" Not only (1) all exchanges best seen as denoting \"relationships\" among the parties involved, but (2) even the meanings of the objects being exchanged reflect emergent group interactions. This means that vendor activities need to be examined in reference to their pre-sale preparations, direct customer contacts, and their post-contact behaviors, as together these define the \"social activity of marketing.\" While direct vendor-prospect interaction is most obviously subject to negotiation, all vendor activities pertaining to those exchanges (before, during, and after) are of significance for understanding those encounters and any subsequent vendor-prospect encounters.\nIt is also crucial that the meanings that people have for \"objects\" be considered in reference to their social nature. The \"value\" of objects arises not from any \"inherent properties\" or \"objective worths.\" 'North\" is the value \"attributed to objects by prospective buyers\" (a valuing which may be shaped by the vendor and others). Thus, central significance should be given to the \"symbolic nature of exchange;\" to the meanings of objects as attributed to them by those engaged in exchange. Although there may be but \"one exchange,\" any exchange may be seen in several different ways by the participants and any other observers (A) in anticipation of the exchange, (B) as it unfolds. and (C) in retrospect.\nSales might be most basically defined as \"exchanges of goods,\" but like all social behavior, marketplace exchanges may entail a great deal of anticipation, assessment, and ongoing adjustment on the part of those involved. Exchanges involve commitments on behalf of all participants, and the resultant alterations in \"goods\" can significantly effect the subsequent experiences of those involved in the exchange. As such, one finds the weighing of resources, the assessment of options, the anticipation of consequences, and the emergence of strategies designed to enhance one's position. With some experience, also comes the recognition of similar concerns on the part of others, mutual capacities for deception, opportunities for misunderstanding, and possibilities of disappointment.\nExchanges (and the activities involved thereof) can be challenging, reflecting adversity, excitement, risk, and failure. Likewise, they can be entertaining, stimulating, refreshing and creative, as well as dull, uninspiring, and boring. Buyer-vendor encounters afford opportunities for persuasion, diplomacy, deception, and pressure, but they may also entail inquiry and assessment, honesty, and trust. Marketplace exchanges are far from a simple (and very misleading) matter of \"supply and demand.\" [Readers are referred to Simmel (1978) for the statement which most clearly nullifies the notion that \"value\" is contingent on supply and demand.]\nViewed in these ways, it becomes evident that business is (1) \"perspectival,\" reflecting the viewpoints, interests, and interpretations of the involved parties at any given points in time. Business is likewise (2) \"reflective\" in that people have capacities to define themselves in relation to others, and to take themselves and others into account in developing lines of action. Further, business is (3) \"negotiable.\" Participants may influence ant/or be influenced by others, not only in reference to settling on the \"desirability\" and \"monetary value\" of items, but also in reference to any definitions of self and others that might be introduced as relevant to the issue by one of the parties. Like other aspects of life, business assumes a (4) relational quality. People develop bonds with one another and these alignments impact upon future transactions (e.g. trust, loyalty). Business is also (5) \"processual,\" denoting the emergent and problematic nature of interaction. Actors may plan and anticipate certain outcomes, but marketplace exchanges entail cooperative behavior on the part of the parties involved, as they (jointly) work out their encounters.\nMarketing as Joint Activity\nBlumer (1969) uses the term \"joint activity\" to refer to the processes by which people work out lines of action with respect to one another. This concept is most relevant to the sales setting as buyers and sellers take one another (and themselves) into account and proceed to \"jointly construct\" their encounters.\nThe notion of joint activity does not presume that the parties involved take equal initiative or that they have equal-impact on the emerging interaction. However, it does alert us to the \"cooperative\" and \"processual\" nature of interaction. It means that no matter how \"convincing\" one vendor may be (compared to others), any encounter involving that vendor and any prospect is subject to definition and negotiation (including termination) on the part of the prospect. The vendor's \"success\" (making the sale) is contingent on the prospect's willingness to make the appropriate commitments. Even though vendors may plan and attempt to move the interaction in specific directions, the ensuing interaction may assume directions (and outcomes) quite at variance from those intended by either the vendors or the prospects.\nVendors may \"sell products,\" but they are \"selling products to people.\" Thus, in contrast to those who work with aluminum or plastics, for example (in which quality control can be rather sharply defined), salespeople face the task of working with \"materials\" which are not only (1) quite variable, (2) complex, and (3) unstable, [The term \"unstable\" denotes the abilities of people to change their viewpoints, emphases, and strategies in very short periods of time. Thus, in contrast to properties attributed to inanimate objects, those attributed to persons are highly vulnerable to error.] but which can also (4) assess the vendors' procedures as these pertain to their own situations, [This capacity for \"self-reflectivity\" (to be an object unto oneself) fundamentally distinguishes humans from other \"objects.\" As \"objects unto themselves ,\" humans may not only take themselves into account in planning lines of action, but also recognize the abilities of others to do so as well.] and (5) act back upon the vendors. Thus, it is one thing to \"know one's products\" and to be able to \"present them\" in a general sense, but it is another thing to obtain purchasing commitments regarding those items from others. In this respect, it is essential that vendor-buyer relationships be considered with regards to \"impression management.\"\nMarketing as Dramaturgical Activity\nSince purchases reflect the \"images\" the prospects associate with purchasing situations, vendors typically wish to \"present themselves\" (and products) in ways prospects will find appealing (acceptable minimally). Nowhere is the practice of \"impression management\" more carefully explicated than in the works of Erving Goffman (1959). Recognizing that people are self-reflective beings who can take themselves and others into account, Goffman shows how people may selectively \"present themselves\" to others to promote particular definitions (of self) by others.\nIn examining \"impression management,\" Goffman is not concerned with people's \"true selves,\" but rather with their \"projected selves;\" the \"images people present to others.\" Recognizing that persons may find it advantageous to be seen in certain ways and may attempt to influence the ways in which others define them, Goffman indicates how persons may promote (\"give off\") particular images of themselves to others. [It needn't be assumed that people are always concerned with \"giving off\" and/or \"reading\" impressions. The participants can vary greatly in the degree of concern they experience in either \"portraying\" or \"monitoring\" impressions.]\nRather than making claims about people's \"true selves,\" [Goffman avoids the very thorny and elusive phenomenon of the \"true self\" by concentrating on the selection, presentation, and interpretation of people's \"social selves.\"] the emphasis is on people's presentations of self and the interpretations of these presentations by others. These (ongoing) presentations and interpretations, Goffman posits, are central to the emergence and maintenance of \"social order.\" While any presentation may entail some insincerity, Goffman views \"impression management\" as an inevitable aspect of group life as the participants attempt to deal with others in ways they most prefer.\nEveryday \"audiences\" (viewing the world as a stage) are all those who witness people's activities. In contrast to theatrical settings, however, everyday audiences may much more readily \"join those on stage.\" In the process all involved can be seen to jointly develop (negotiate) the \"scenarios\" they experience. Each-participant may have certain objectives in mind, but so may the others. And, although some participants may assume the role of supporting casts, others may be much less cooperative. Hence, people find themselves making ongoing adjustments to others, fitting their preferred lines of action into the emergent (and negotiable) encounters in which they find themselves. Goffman's everyday actors are more dynamic than their stage counterparts; their obstacles are greater and their resources, subsequent lines of action, and outcomes are much less clearly defined. They may endeavor to present themselves in certain ways, but their successes in doing so are clearly dependent on interpretations of their behaviors by others.\nSeen in this manner, people are not \"just actors,\" they are \"interactors\" whose life-chances are dependent on how their performances are received by others. Reflecting a mixture of viewpoints, unfolding exchanges, uncertain outcomes, and opportunities for input from all parties, sales-related encounters can be considered in \"dramaturgical\" terms. As with actors in a play, salespeople can be seen as \"on stage\" as they enter the prospect's presence. But, unlike people witnessing plays, their prospects may play a more direct, interactive role in the process. AS in all everyday encounters, salespeople are dependent on the \"cooperation\" of those with whom they interact. Vendors may have scripts from which to work, but they will also find themselves negotiating encounters with prospects and making ongoing adjustments as these encounters take place. Impression management, thus, is best seen in processual terms as buyers and sellers make ongoing adjustments to one another. Each party may have his own anticipations and experiences to draw upon, but the encounter is to be worked out with much less certainty as to outcome.\nGiven concerns with a processual, people oriented study of marketplace exchange, it seems appropriate to indicate the general strategies of research most consistent with these concerns. Interactionism makes five basic and interrelated demands on researchers.\nFirst, there is the concern that researchers attend to the meanings people attach to the situations in which they find themselves. Thus, attention is given to both the perspectives (viewpoints, interpretative frames, paradigms) with which people approach situations and the implications of these viewpoints for the meanings people attribute to situations. Important, likewise, are any shifts in the perspectives from which people view situations.\nSecond, this approach acknowledges people's capacities for \"minded activity,\" including therein people's abilities to interpret the situations they encounter and to take multiple aspects of situations (including past experiences and future projections) into account when considering ongoing situations. In addition to defining other objects (vs. reacting to stimuli), minded activity includes capacities for \"self reflectivity\" (being an object unto oneself) \"role taking\" (taking the perspectives of another into account), and \"impression management\" (managing images given off to others). As with other objects, one's views of self and others may change over time, and researchers would want to be sensitive to these aspects of interaction as well.\nThird, recognizing that \"we are all in this together,\" interactionism prompts a methodology sensitive to the negotiable nature of everyday life. Not only may people take others into account (via role-taking), but people are also apt to find themselves attempting to influence others (suggestions, strategies, resistances, conflicts, cooperation) and being subject to influence from others as their interactions unfold.\nFourth, this approach draws attention to both the continuity and selectivity implied by people's tendencies to develop relationships with one another. While some encounters are quite fleeting, people's past experiences with particular (and generalized) others may figure prominently in their future plans and activities.\nFifth, interactionism requires that researchers appreciate the processual nature of group life, that we attend to the \"histories\" or \"careers\" of the phenomena (activities, identities, commitments, perspectives, and relationships) being studied. This emphasis on the natural history of occurrences contrasts sharply with correlational research which flattens (or artificially imposes parameters on) time. Working from this tradition, researchers give much consideration to the unfolding or sequencing of events and assess consequences within the emergent contexts in which they take place.\nThese guiding principles suggest that we study group life relative to: (1) the meanings people develop relative to the situations in which they find themselves; (2) the capacities people have for taking themselves and other people into account in contemplating and developing lines of action; (3) the negotiable nature of human encounters; (4) the desirability of contextualizing action within ongoing relationships; and (5) the processes through which events take place .\nA People and Process Methodology\nThe central task of an interactionist methodology is that of achieving \"intimate familiarity\" with the dynamics of group life. To this end, three methodological approaches are indicated along with brief statements on their respective capabilities and limitations. These are observations, interviews, and participant-observation. While these By be combined to achieve a more thorough appreciation of the phenomenon under study, this may not be feasible in every case.\nObservation. Reflecting a form of \"first hand\" experience, observation may provide researchers with (A) ideas for subsequent research, (B) coding schemes and frequency counts, and (C) opportunities to assess information gathered in other ways. Observation allows for exploration, tabulation, and verification. Beyond visual modes of observation, researchers would also find it valuable to attend to conversations among the parties being studied.\nThe major limitation of observation alone, is that so much must be inferred from \"surface impressions.\" Observers By penetrate back regions and/or uncover inadvertent disclosures, but researchers are left to infer meanings about people and their activities from \"what they witness.\" They can easily miss people's preparations, dilemmas, negotiations and strategies. Researchers relying exclusively on observation fail to benefit from the (typically rich) set of accounts (histories, observations, interpretations, explanations, and qualifications) the participants can provide.\nInterviews. Whether combined with observation or used on their own, interviews represent a valuable means of arriving at a more complete understanding of people's experiences and concerns. Interview material depends heavily on the cooperation of those being studied. But when participants are given adequate opportunity to express themselves, interviews can generate great detail in reference to meanings, reflections, negotiations, relationships and process.\nThe main limitations of interviews are those pertaining to the accuracy and comprehensiveness of the accounts obtained. Interviewees may intentionally mislead interviewers, but researchers can facilitate honest and complete statements by the ways in which they approach and conduct interviews. Generally speaking, more inquisitive, patient, interested, and nonjudgemental approaches seem to fare better. The effective interviewer is first and foremost a good listener. When people feel rushed, directed, or judged, they are less apt to provide researchers with complete and accurate information. And, insofar as the researcher learns more about a situation from one interview to the next, inquiries should be more insightful and more thorough as the interviews proceed (each interview advantaging the interviewer for the next).\nParticipant Observation. The third major research strategy is that of the researcher actively engaging in the subject matter being discussed. While the participant-observer strategy of research denotes a rich data base in its own right, it can become even more powerful when combined with more extensive interviews and observations. Each can alert the researcher to matters pertinent to the phenomenon under study, and each provides a base for assessing information obtained by these other means. Whether involvements precede or overlap with these other modes of investigation, this \"inside dopester\" role can be extremely valuable in developing more insightful interviews and in allowing researchers to make more informed observations. Since participants are generally less obtrusive observers than others, they may be able to more readily access other information than would other researchers.\nThe participant observer role also has some noteworthy limitations. To the extent these insiders (A) \"presume\" rather than inquire into the activities of others, (B) moralize and/or attempt to educate others, or (C) take sides (or are so perceived), their information generally becomes less valuable. Access to certain others may also be severely jeopardized by virtue of their role involvements. Finally, while outsiders may have difficulties (time, contacts) entering and being accepted in a particular role, so may insiders find it difficult to sustain the role of the researcher (i.e. they become \"absorbed by the role being studied;\"the anthropologists use the term, \"going native\").\nWhile one person may be able to obtain information in each of these means (observation, interviews, participant-observation), researchers may also find it valuable to work in teams. Teamwork can be troublesome in some respects (e.g. uneven contributions, different perspectives and objectives), but it may allow researchers to access (and evaluate) more information than may a \"lone wolf\" approach. It means, for instance, that researchers may be able to participate in several roles in a research site, access a greater number/assortment of participants, and make more sustained observations than might a solitary researcher over the same time frame.\nThis paper offers a \"bottoms-up\" approach for understanding marketing activities by being sensitive to the actualities of social interaction in the marketplace. In contrast to marketing approaches, people are viewed not as the (unthinking) targets of marketing strategies but as actors with capacities to interpret situations and select courses of action. In addition, the interactions that take place between buyers and sellers are seen not as static one-time occurrences but as evolving over time as people anticipate, assess, and adjust to each other and the situations in which they find themselves.\nPositivist research may be useful for improving the effectiveness of marketing strategies from the marketers' point of view, but this \"top-down\" approach to research and theory is not true to the subject matter under investigation. Hence, instead of searching for simplistic \"causes\" or \"formulae\" designed to enable marketers to control buying behavior, the approach outlined herein is concerned with the understanding of marketing as generic human activity. By acknowledging the \"P's\" of \"people\" and \"process\", we may develop a framework for better understanding how people become involved, stay involved and make decisions about future exchange activities.\nIn conjunction with an approach sensitive to the perspectival, reflective, negotiable, relational and processual nature of marketplace exchanges, an alternative research methodology is required; one sensitive to the complex and problematic nature of human interaction. Survey methods, hypotheses testing, and the use of statistical procedures to not and cannot adequately recognize the emergent, social nature of group life. Instead, we need to attend to the \"natural histories\" or \"careers\" of marketing activities through observation, interviews and participant observation.\nDefining as \"empirical\" only that which can be measured, some may criticize these methods as being subjective and nonempirical. In contrast, we view empiricism as a method of study which endeavors to be true to the phenomenon under study. Thus, if people can view the \"same objects\" differently, one to another, or over time, then some appreciation of multiple meanings seems incontestable. If people are able to think and can assess themselves and others, then some notion of reflectivity should be incorporated into the study of human behavior. If people can influence others, and be influenced by them, then the negotiable nature of group life should be appreciated. If people selectively interact with others, both ln immediate situations and over time, then we should be prepared to acknowledge the significance of these relationships for their behaviors. And, if there is an emergent quality to human life, then we should be sensitive to that as well. These \"natural qualities\" of human life (and marketplace exchange) have been overlooked by conventional research for much too long.\nAnderson, Paul (1983), 'Marketing, Scientific Progress, and Scientific Method,\" Journal of Marketing, 47 (4) 18-31.\nBagozzi, Richard (1979), \"Opening Statement.\" Pp. 6-10 in O.C.

        "raw_content": "You are here: Home > Sports Medicine > Torn Muscles > strains\nA strain refers to the stretching or tearing of a muscle as a result of excessive pulling during physical activity.\nSymptoms of a strain include:\nchange in colour and bruising\ndecreased range of motion and difficulty moving the injured area\nMost strains are caused by excessive physical activity. The most common situations involving strains include sports and recreational activities. Strains can also result from work-related and lifting injuries or relatively minor incidents, such as over-stretching a muscle.\nPerforming light stretches and warm-up exercises before any sports or other intense physical activity can help prevent strains.\nDiagnosis is usually made by a physical examination from a doctor. Anyone who has muscular pain after excessive physical activity can assume that they have some muscle strain and should treat it appropriately.\nCold compresses should be applied to the area immediately, and then every 3 to 4 hours over a 24-hour period. Compresses are applied for 15 minutes at a time. This will help to reduce the swelling and decrease the amount of pain. It is important to avoid placing ice directly on the skin, because this may cause frostbite to the area. Ice should be put inside a plastic bag, wrapped in a towel, and then placed on the skin.\nMuscles should be rested until the pain subsides.\nElevating the injured area above the level of the heart decreases the amount of swelling, and decreases the amount of pain in the area.\nPain killers or anti-inflammatory drugs may recommended by a doctor.\nThere are few side effects related to the treatment of muscle strains. It is important to remember that ice should not be placed directly on the skin. This can cause frostbite to the area. Anti-inflammatory drugs, such as aspirin can irritate the lining of the stomach and possibly cause bleeding.\nIf a certain activity causes repeated muscle strains, a person should strengthen the muscles in a way that does not cause continual damage. A doctor can recommend an exercise program or physiotherapy.",

        "raw_content": "in the recent period there are a growing number of people who are selling their houses over the Internet. This is not a big surprise for those who have experience in this area because technology has advanced very fast in the past decade and on top of that, selling your home online comes with numerous benefits. That\u2019s why there are hundreds of websites that buy houses and help homeowners sell their house fast and without any hassles. However, not all of these services provide the same quality. All Prop Investments is a reputable company that has already helped dozens of people sell their houses. But, what makes All Prop Investments special? This is a legitimate question and we will answer it by providing 3 good reasons why you should sell your house to us.\n1. No real estate agent\nThere are many people who are tempted to try selling their house without the help of real estate agents. However, most of them decide to follow this practice because they don\u2019t have time to show their property, they easily get emotional during the process of negotiation or simply don\u2019t understand all the elements of this complex process. With the help of All Prop Investments, you will get a chance to sell your house without paying fees to a real estate agent.\nThe entire process is simplified and all you need to do is to provide precise information about your property and you will soon get a quote from us. What is even better is that you will get a cash offer. Instead of wasting money and time on real estate agents, you can finish this daunting task smoothly. We know that you want to get the best deal for your house and we will make sure you get an offer like this.\n2. Buy as is:\nIf you do some research you will find out that most experts advise investing in renovation and remodeling before you sell your house. While this might sound logical and useful, the fact is that this process might require some time and not all of us have time to get involved in such activities. On top of that, this process can be very costly and some people can\u2019t afford an investment like this. All Prop Investments will buy your house as is. There is no need for beautifying your home because we have enough experience to determine the true value of your house with or without these \u201ccosmetic\u201d changes.\n3. Close Quickly:\nOne of the main reasons why so many people get frustrated during this process is the fact that it sometimes takes months before you finally find the right buyer. If you choose All Prop Investments you won\u2019t find yourself in a situation like this. We can close in as little as ten days. You just need to deliver the information we need and we will soon make an offer. If you find the offer reasonable we will help you with the paperwork and close the deal as quickly as possible.\nKeep in mind that these are only some of the reasons that make our clients satisfied.",

        "title": "Just Because You Don&#39;t Like It",
        "raw_content": "Just Because You Don't Like It\nOne of the most painful things about this election season has no doubt been the fighting with friends and even family members about which candidate is better.\nI\u2019m not here in this post to advocate for one side or another. Only to point out that this national argument we\u2019re having is dirty. The things we learn, or think we have learned, are more upsetting than we ever thought they could be.\nSometimes they are horrifying.\nI don\u2019t remember anything like this ever happening in the past. A recent survey said that 7% of Americans have seen the end of a friendship because of the election but my gut tells me the number is much higher.\nUndoubtedly one of the reasons we\u2019re seeing such a level of unvarnished hatred \u2013 there\u2019s really no other way to describe it \u2013 is that the fighting has exposed some of the most offensive, disgusting, and even horrifying accusations that many of us have ever seen. It\u2019s gotten so bad that even Saturday Night Live tried to lighten it up with a skit that had the candidates \u201creconciling.\u201d\nIt is hard. As a writer and political junkie who\u2019s also worked in public affairs, public relations, marketing and branding over the years, it\u2019s like watching an unstoppable car accident unfold on the freeway, in very slow motion.\nPerhaps the most painful aspect of the race, for me, is watching both sides try to avoid the unavoidable baggage that comes along with each candidate. Whatever side you\u2019re on, it is most definitely there. It sucks to see it but it sucks worse when otherwise intelligent people are willing to go to the ends of the earth to clap their hands over their ears and go, \u201cLA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA, YOU\u2019RE CRAZY.\u201d\nThe pain of watching this never goes away, although it\u2019s unfortunately darkly familiar. Although early in my career I had the good fortune of being encouraged to seek out truth, regardless of where it took me, that quickly changed when I joined the private sector and then the government. Invariably \u2014 and this wasn\u2019t just me, I saw it happen to every other communicator I knew \u2014 the client had a desired version of the facts. And if you did not toe the line, meaning you totally drank the Kool-Aid and went along with whatever they said, you were quickly on the outside of the in-group.\nIt\u2019s funny. You would think that communication specialists, being paid to inflate the value of a commodity, would themselves have a very high comfort level with lying their freaking heads off.\nBecause what every good communicator knows is the same thing that every client does not want to hear. It\u2019s what they go \u201cLA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA, DON\u2019T TELL ME\u201d about. It even leads them to engage a consultant on a job, ask for an assessment of their brand, and then REFUSE TO PAY BECAUSE THEY DON\u2019T LIKE THE RESULTS OF THE AUDIT.\nLook, don\u2019t shoot the messenger, okay? The data is the data \u2013 which anyone can read. You\u2019re paying your communication team to develop it for you, based on solid and repeatable methodology. You\u2019re paying for their experience, dealing with similar cases in the past. You\u2019re paying for the instinct they\u2019ve developed over the course of probably twenty or thirty years in business.\nIt\u2019s up to you whether you want to make your business, nonprofit, school, hospital, church, mosque or synagogue, educational provider or government agency as successful as it can be given the realities of the marketplace.\nIf you really want to do that, you have to take those headphones off and listen attentively to those who possess the expertise you\u2019re paying for.\nAll opinions my own.

        "title": "Which Libertarian Party Candidate is Best? \u2013 Altar & Throne",
        "raw_content": "Any of the Libertarian Party candidates would be better than the Republican or Democratic nominees. But which of them is best?\nFriday night, John Stossel hosted the second-ever nationally televised Libertarian Party debate on Fox Business. Stossel hosted the first of these debates on April 1st, and it provided much food for thought for libertarians:\n[embedyt] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zr9Vr5p-8Fs[/embedyt]\nIn the wake of the first debate, there is much discussion in the libertarian movement about which candidate best represents the party, the movement, and the ideas. (Here are two reactions to the debate).\nThree Altar and Throne writers picked their favourite candidate from the debate and wrote a brief pitch for why that candidate should get the nomination.\nJeff Godley \u2014 Austin Petersen\nGoing into the debate, I had low expectations for Austin Petersen. Yet after watching him, I\u2019m genuinely excited about his chances of representing libertarian ideals.\nPetersen is young and energetic; he comes across as genuine, earnest, witty and funny.\nSome criticize him for what Kennedy called \u201cspeaking in bumper stickers\u201d. Yet, how was Barack Obama elected? Why are Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders so popular? In part, because they offer soundbites which an audience can grab hold of and remember.\nIntellectuals may dislike it, but the fact is that in-depth discussions about philosophical or policy issues don\u2019t draw voters. Personality and plain speech are what is effective. I think Petersen uses both of those to his advantage. He smiles and laughs easily, and answers questions directly.\nThere were few moments in the debate where Austin Petersen really stood out from his two opponents:\nOn abortion, I think his response was brilliant: find every non-coercive means to end abortion; be morally pro-life; the President has no authority to ban abortion.\nLibertarians are often in a no-win scenario with the public on abortion: support the \u201cright to choose\u201d and alienate millions of Americans who are pro-life; support the \u201cright to life\u201d and be accused of taking away the liberty of women to control their bodies. Austin offered a smart, and absolutely correct, compromise on the issue, which could satisfy both sides.\nOn the issue of the \u201cwage gap\u201d, Petersen was the lone candidate who got to the heart of the issue: the \u201cwage gap\u201d is a false statistic. A woman will never be paid a lower wage for the same work in America. The statistic shows only that women choose different professions, and balance work and life differently than men.\nThere is no discrimination bogeyman to be slain on this issue \u2014 the wage gap is a myth. Only Austin Petersen seemed to understand that.\nFinally, Austin won points when he challenged Gary Johnson\u2019s position on religious discrimination: \u201cshould a Jewish baker be forced to bake a Nazi wedding cake?\u201d\nGood question. Should a Libertarian candidate support freedom of association, or coercive inclusivity?\nAustin Peterson was profoundly right on these issues. That\u2019s why I\u2019m supporting him.\nKyle Ambrose \u2014 Gary Johnson\nI think that the best quality that Gary Johnson exhibited in debate was experience. He was a two-term governor of New Mexico, as he mentioned. Before that he was a very successful businessman, which makes him a good opponent to put up against Donald Trump.\nJohnson vetoed 750 bills while he was governor. The Republicans and Democrats seem not to have met a law that they didn\u2019t like, but Johnson seems to have met few bills that he did like.\nAs he mentioned, he helped to balance the state budget, which is a rare feat these days. Remarkably he cut taxes during the time that he got the budget balanced, which many people claim is impossible. If the voters could realize that their taxes would go down at the same time that federal spending would be decreased, I believe that many of them could be persuaded to vote for him.\nJohnson said that he would eliminate the Department of Commerce, and he decried crony capitalism in the process. It is something that disaffected Democrats might get behind. He said that he would also eliminate the Department of Education and explained that their regulations cost states more than they receive to implement the programs imposed on them. Many Republicans would find that appealing.\nThe fact that he actually plans to shut down some departments shows that he is serious about balancing the budget.\nI think that Gary Johnson is a good candidate for the Libertarian Party to nominate. Although he can hardly be called mainstream, he is a bit more mainstream than Petersen, McAfee, or the others who are running, and many people want a person who is not too far out. Some people say that he is dull, but I perceive it as a kind of calmness and steadiness that a good leader needs.\nJustin Fowler \u2014 John McAfee\nOut of the three, McAfee shows the most promise to me, and that\u2019s not just because we may very well both be descended from William Wallace.\nRight out of the gate, he emphasized the principle of self-governance with clarity and focus, something neither of the other two did. I not only get the sense from McAfee that he\u2019s giving me the straight dope, but I know it by the logical coherence of his arguments. He doesn\u2019t beat around the bush, and he makes objective sense.He\u2019s also an experienced businessman.\nYeah, I liked Petersen\u2019s cute stories about the liberty-themed names of his place of origin. But actually being able to market a product, minimizing losses and maximizing gains, to the point of becoming a household name, speaks volumes.\nAnd though Johnson has a solid track record of vetoes, he\u2019s soft on the welfare state and non-discrimination laws.\nNot that I\u2019m not concerned by McAfee\u2019s statements about intelligence gathering, but it\u2019s several steps removed from the NSA\u2019s digital surveillance. And, while his position on Social Security and foreign aid as commitments is ill-advised, as they are based upon a violation to begin with, it\u2019s conceivable for him to be persuaded to take positions more like Ron Paul\u2019s.\nOne other thing: the man is fearless. He\u2019s not afraid to confront wild rumors, or to court controversial issues like sex, drugs, and evolution, or in other contexts, call out the FBI on their idiocy. I admire him for that. It\u2019s a lovely counter to the wheedling, pandering salesmen we have for politicians now.\nI question Petersen\u2019s overall consistency when he falls back on Ron Paul\u2019s foreign policy despite having formerly accused him of hating America. And Johnson makes major concessions to progressive attitudes toward policy, while at least McAfee tries to ground any divergent policies on libertarian principles.\nHis policy expressions aren\u2019t libertarian cliche, as if just posing in a fashion suit, but rather seem to come right from the heart of who he is.\nMcAfee is the clearest, most stalwart, and perhaps most grounded of the three candidates, with a strong business history behind him. That\u2019s why I\u2019m throwing my support behind him.\nTags: Austin PetersonGary JohnsonJohn McAfeelibertarian party\nReview: The Clarion Call Vol I, Anarchy Rising\nI get that these three are the only ones with a real shot at winning the nomination\u2026but the title of the article is \u201cWhich Libertarian Party Candidate is Best?\u201d, and Darryl Perry and Marc Allan Feldman (IMO, anyway) are far superior to McAfee, Johnson, and Petersen on nearly every issue where they differ. Just writing about the three leading candidates because they were on TV while ignoring those without a clear path to victory, whatever their ideas may be, risks falling into the \u201clesser of x number of evils\u201d trap. I certainly agree with the statement at the top that \u201cany of the Libertarian Party candidates would be better than the Republican or Democratic nominees\u201d, but discarding lower-polling Libertarians for essentially the same reason that all Libertarian candidates have historically been marginalized in favor of Republicrats isn\u2019t exactly productive. Maybe I\u2019m making an incorrect assumption, though, and you all actually prefer one of these three to any others.\nYou\u2019re right. I checked out Darryl Perry\u2019s platform a while back and remember thinking he nailed all the issues.\nWe chose to write this post in response to the Stossel debate. Since these were the three candidates featured, we went with them. There are a lot more candidates, but we didn\u2019t have space to feature them all.\nSo, I guess the title should be \u201cWhich Libertarian Party Candidate is Best out of the Three Who Participated in the National Debate on Stossel\u2026\u201d Perhaps now you see our problem \ud83d\ude42\nThanks for clearing that up\u2026and sorry for the nitpickiness of my original comment.\nI agree with you. We should have made it clearer that it was a response to the debate. Perhaps we will write something about Perry and Feldman. I have been following them some. Feldman was actually first out of the gate as far as I can tell. He\u2019s an odd duck, but I appreciate many things about him. Perry is a pure libertarian in my opinion.",

        "raw_content": "The Travel Trends You Should Learn About in 2018.\nIt is good for you to learn the latest trends in the travel industry if you are hoping to do business in this sector. It is crucial for you to educate yourself on the same as well if you want to go on vacation. The thing about setting up a business when you have not conducted extensive research is that it is most likely going to fail you and if you spend money on a vacation that you had not fully researched on it will backfire on you. When it comes to traveling, you need to be aware of the happening around the world. If you have not noticed yet, there are a lot of people who are traveling alone. If you are in East Asia, the destinations that are accommodating solo travelers are many. The moment you realize that solo traveling is easy, nothing will ever hold you back. There will be no time wastage trying to ensure that all your friends are well accommodated by the schedule you have planned. When you plan on traveling alone, it is just a matter of finding air ticket and accommodation and you will be set to go. If you are able to work remotely, you won\u2019t even have to stop what you were doing. It might require you to work for fewer hours than you are used to but the best part is that you won\u2019t have to stop working completely. Just because you can work remotely does not mean your friends will be able to and that is why planning a holiday together might be a problem. This is why a lot of people are finding it very easy to go on holidays on their own.\nPeople of all ages are going on cruise trips. In the past, this was viewed as something for old people. Cruises are now adapting to accommodate different clientele. You will also be able to board a cruise ship from different locations. The durations also vary which serves to increase the appeal. You can choose a trip that will last for a few days but it can also be for months. Be assured that there will be so much for you to do in all the destinations you will be passing through and this will add more fun to the trip. Vacations are no longer taken just during summer but all through the year, even during the cold season. If you are going for your vacation during the cold season, there won\u2019t be many people booking which means you will get great deals and the trip will be pretty easy to plan. Also, travelers are going to destinations that are usually cold all through the year. This website has more details concerning this and you should check it out.\nReference: Clicking Here\nNext: Next post: Finding Parallels Between and Life",

        "raw_content": "Why I'm Working at Another Reservation\nThe sign welcoming people to Browning, Montana\u2014the main center of the Blackfeet reservation\nFirst, a sincere thank you to everyone who has supported the 2016 Attorney on the Move crowdfunder so far\u2014each donation and social media share will truly ensure that AOTM continues until the end of 2016. And the crowdfunder will be officially active until 12/31/15, so there is still time to get involved! Thank you, as always, for reading and for your support! It is because of YOU that this project is able to continue into next year.\nSo far during the first 5 months of this project, there's been a relatively diverse set of experiences. In Delano, I was assisting with mostly housing cases, in Portland I was working in the more transactional side of immigration law\u2014which surely helped me during my time in Tacoma working at the detention center. I also worked with more eviction cases in Kent, WA before heading to work with the Blackfeet reservation in northern Montana for a month. I've learned so much and I'm excited and humbled at what lies ahead.\nAs you all know, the big plan for 2016 is to open a Virtual Law Office (VLO)\u2014(you can click the link to read more about what a VLO is and the initial services I will be providing). One of the pivotal components of my pro bono work this upcoming year will be comparing how legal models work in similar areas of law. By seeing what is working well\u2014what may not be working as well\u2014as well as what may be missing\u2014is absolutely crucial information for this project.\nThe learnings from these findings will continue to shape the offerings of the VLO\u2014so that services best suit potential clients' needs.\nAs most of you remember from my experiences on the Blackfeet reservation, it appeared to be largely reflective of reservation life here in the States. Conditions similar to the developing world abounded on the reservation: shoddily constructed homes, many homes without heat, many homes living with floodwater for 4 years under it (you read that correctly\u2014in the winter it is literally like living on top of a block of ice), trash everywhere, the list goes on.\nThe Blackfeet tribe is one of the bigger tribes in Montana, but is certainly smaller in size when compared with one of the largest tribes in North America\u2014the Navajo Nation.\nSeeing as it is one of the biggest tribes on the continent, my interest has been piqued in how legal/social issues on the Navajo reservation will compare to the Blackfeet. My assumption going into this experience is that the Navajo tribe will have more resources to allocate among tribal members, a larger tribal government (and therefore all of the associative things that come with that), and so on. But from what I have heard, there are still the aforementioned things that are endemic to reservations as a whole in this country. The effects of post-colonization\u2014regardless of tribe/location/geographical area\u2014are a particularly heightened type of oppression in America. And that appears to be a constant among all reservations here.\nThe federal, state, and tribal flags represented on the Blackfeet reservation\nTomorrow I start at DNA Legal Services\u2014a legal services organization that offers free civil legal services to low-income people who otherwise couldn't afford an attorney.\nI'll be working at their Window Rock, Arizona location\u2014where the governmental center of the Navajo Nation is located. I also want to give a big shout out to the power of community\u2014a friend of a friend, Maile\u2014informed me about DNA and put me in touch with Julie and others, who helped me find my way to Window Rock. I love that I am heading down there after speaking with a few other like-minded attorneys. To me, that is also building on another tenet of this project/the VLO, which is to continue to work with other social justice attorneys in the name of providing more legal access for all. (Thanks again Maile & Julie!).\nI'll be living in a trailer owned by DNA\u2014on the Navajo reservation itself. Office couches and air mattresses have been my thing lately, but the trailer will be a first! I can't wait to get started. And next week, I'll be reporting from Window Rock.\nGetting closer\u2014and look, no more snow! No snow = a happy Smart car. <knock on the wood>",

It affects basic human behaviours like communication and social interaction, imagination, feelings, and establishing relationships with others.

The exact neurobiological mechanisms behind autism\u2026\nChildren, especially those struggling with a disorder, need immense love and support to overcome life\u2019s challenges.

        "raw_content": "Driving Performance Measurement: Keeping Your Employees on Course How to Gain Control by Getting Behind the Wheel\nOne of the hot topics in the business intelligence world today is the use of business intelligence capabilities to provide employees with more timely and accurate performance measures. The thought behind this growing trend is to keep all employees focused on maximizing performance by breaking the analysts\u2019 hold on information and sharing it broadly with personnel across the organization.\nUntil fairly recently, business intelligence has often been the domain of more technical \u201cknowledge workers,\u201d a catch-all definition for the collection of people who were involved in analyzing and planning company operations. They relied on business intelligence capabilities to help them understand patterns and causes in company performance, and to help them devise tactics and strategies for the future. This group included controllers, financial analysts, production analysts, quality control specialists, marketers, and other specialized disciplines. However, other employees such as rank-and-file production workers, shipping managers, and customer service representatives, just to name a few, were not direct recipients of business intelligence data, even though they make up the bulk of most companies\u2019 payrolls.\nThe notion of tracking performance measures for employees at all levels of a company is hardly new. Nevertheless, it is only in recent years that large numbers of companies have been using business intelligence to widely distribute performance measures throughout their organizations. As companies increasingly provide metrics to their employees, they are learning that there can be some unintended consequences of measuring certain aspects of performance \u2013 and some of those inadvertent outcomes are not so desirable, as the following example illustrates.\nOne of our client\u2019s field sales forces had been complaining for years that customers were telling them that their post-sales support was lagging behind their expectations. Customers said that it frequently took them too many phone calls and too much time to resolve issues with their orders, compared to that of the company\u2019s competitors. This company realized that their customer service teams, while generally competent and well-trained, weren\u2019t necessarily aware that handling these customer calls as quickly and efficiently as possible was equally as important as providing the right answers. As a result, a measure was put into place to track average call times and numbers of calls handled by each customer service center on a weekly basis. These metrics were posted prominently throughout the service center work areas, and a performance bonus program was created (with bonuses distributed to teams that had the best monthly and quarterly metrics) in hopes to drive better performance and put the company ahead of its competitors. With these metrics in place, our client thought this to be a win-win situation for both the company and its employees. Unfortunately, this is where the reality of unintended consequences hit hard, and the company soon hit a \u201cbump in the road\u201d and steered off the intended course.\nBe Careful of Wrong or Missed Turns\nThe customer service team simply did that which they were being driven to do by this performance-based bonus program: they handled more calls at a faster pace. The unintended consequence, however, of this performance measure was that representatives were now more focused on the speed of calls than on the actual satisfaction of the customer. Customer calls were being answered promptly, but it was taking several more calls for a customer to resolve a single issue. Representatives would answer a call, take pertinent information, and then inform the customer that they were opening a case and that someone would call them back. While the average time for a single call decreased, the average overall case resolution time soared, and customers had to call back repeatedly to check on the status of their cases. But, true to the letter, if not the spirit of the performance-based bonus program, average call times were way down and the customer centers were handling more calls per week than ever before.\nDon\u2019t Be Afraid of Using U-Turns to Get to Your Destination\nSo, how did this play out for our customer? They took a deeper look at the behavior they wanted to create or reinforce, and they developed better metrics that more closely aligned to that behavior. Rather than simply measuring the number of calls handled or the time spent on a single call, they began to measure more meaningful things. They launched an internal \u201cfirst-call resolution\u201d campaign, in which they tracked how many customer issues could be resolved on the first phone call. They also began to track more carefully the types of cases that were opened and the average overall resolution time for each case, including the time it took for the case worker to call the customer to gather additional information. And, most importantly, they realized that all of these metrics were designed to increase behaviors that resulted in customer satisfaction. This realization led to them measuring their performance more directly by, for example, having the field sales force ask customers to provide feedback on their support experiences. They also gained the knowledge that there is no magical set of measures that fits each situation and that as new business challenges arise, they will have to determine an appropriate set of measures that track their responses to those challenges. They learned a valuable lesson about picking the right results to measure.\nAs the old adage reminds us, \u201cJust because you can\u2026doesn\u2019t mean you should.\u201d Before considering what performance measures should be in place, companies need to be certain of the purpose and the results they\u2019re looking to achieve. So what exactly is the purpose of combining performance measurements with business intelligence then? First, it\u2019s used to drive the behaviors of business units, departments and employees \u2013 especially when they are tied to incentive compensation plans. Second, performance metrics can help keep people at all levels of a company focused on outcomes that contribute to that company\u2019s strategic objectives, rather than focusing exclusively on short-term results or tactical objectives. A company must think long and hard about the measures they implement to gauge the success of individuals and the business, as they will play a significant role in charting the near and medium-term course of the business and can have a direct effect on the organization\u2019s relationships with its customers, suppliers and employees.\nIt is important not just to measure processes, but to measure the right processes so that business success and good behavior are the result. It is also extremely important to not have measures that conflict with one another, which could drive \u201ccompetitive\u201d or counterproductive behavior.\nDon\u2019t Forget Routine Tune Ups!\nAs with all tactics, objectives, projects, etc., performance measures must be determined by, and aligned with, corporate strategies. Despite the inherent challenges of measuring performance and publishing those metrics broadly, this is something that is here to stay. More of us can expect to be accountable for specific job-related metrics. The secret to success is to carefully consider exactly what kinds of behavior each metric is going to encourage and how closely this behavior aligns to the strategic goals of the company. Moreover, we must recognize that the metrics themselves are going to need to be monitored and adjusted over time in response to a changing climate and new business priorities.\nSOURCE: Driving Performance Measurement: Keeping Your Employees on Course",

        "raw_content": "Private Gulet Charter / Destinations / Turkey\nBencik.\nBozburun .\nDatca.\nDemre (Myra).\nEfes.\nFethiye.\nGocek.\nKekova.\nKnidos.\nMarmaris.\nOludeniz.\nPrivate Gulet Charter / Destinations / Turkey.\nTURKISH COAST LINE\nAntalya is the fifth most populous city in Turkey located on Anatolia's flourishing southwest coast bordered by the Taurus Mountains. Antalya is the largest Turkish city on the Mediterranean coast with over one million people in its metropolitan area.\nThe city that is now Antalya was first settled around 200 BC by the Attalid dynasty of Pergamon, which was soon subdued by the Romans. Roman rule saw Antalya thrive, including the construction of several new monuments, such as Hadrian's Gate, and the proliferation of neighboring cities. The city has changed hands several times, including to the Byzantine Empire in 1207 and an expanding Ottoman Empire in 1391. Ottoman rule brought relative peace and stability for the next five-hundred years. The city was transferred to Italian suzerainty in the aftermath of World War I, but was recaptured by a newly independent Turkey in theWar of Independence.\nAntalya is Turkey's biggest international sea resort, located on the Turkish Riviera. Large-scale development and governmental funding has promoted tourism. A record 12.5 million tourists passed through the city in 2014. Antalya was the host city for the 2015 G-20 summit.\nBENCIK :\nBOZBURUN :\nAlthough quieter than Marmaris bay's two centers of tourism of international renowned (Marmaris and \u0130\u00e7meler), Bozburun is a precious discovery for visitors due to its natural beauties and the exceptional flora. Its thyme honey is famous across Turkey. It has a small yet lovely harbor is also one of the key stops on the popular nautical tourism route of Blue Cruise. Its pristine sea is surrounded by coves. This area was popular and suitable for sponge-diving but nowadays the people of the island are no more interested in sponge-diving as it is not financially beneficial and is dangerous. In recent years sponge-diving has been replaced by gulet tourism and nowadays Bozburun Gulets take their place in this sector.\nCLEOPATRA (SEDIR) ISLAND :\nDATCA :\nDEMRE (MYRA) :\nDemre is a town and its surrounding district in the Antalya Province on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey, named after the river Demre. Demre is the Lycian town of Myra, the home of Saint Nicholas of Myra, the historical man later developed into the figure of Santa Claus. The district was known as Kale until it was renamed in 2005. A substantial Christian community of Greeks lived in Demre (Myra) until the 1920s when they were forced to migrate to Greece after the Population exchange between Greece and Turkey.The abandoned Greek villages in the region are a striking reminder of this exodus. Abandoned Greek houses can still be seen at Demre and the regions of Kalkan, Ka\u015f and Kaya which is a Greek ghost town. A small population of Turkish farmers moved into the region when the Greek Christians were forced to migrate to Greece. The region is popular with tourists today particularly Christian pilgrims who visit the tomb of Saint Nicholas.\nEPHESUS :\nEphesus was an ancient Greek city on the coast of Ionia, three kilometers southwest of present-day Sel\u00e7uk in \u0130zmir Province, Turkey. It was built in the 10th century BC by Attic and Ionian Greek colonists. During the Classical Greek era it was one of the twelve cities of the Ionian League. The city flourished after it came under the control of the Roman Republic in 129 BC. The city was famed for the Temple of Artemis (completed around 550 BC), one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. In 268 AD, the Temple was destroyed or damaged in a raid by the Goths. It may have been rebuilt or repaired but this is uncertain, as its later history is not clear. Ephesus was one of the seven churches of Asia that are cited in the Book of Revelation. The Gospel of John may have been written here. The city was the site of several 5th century Christian Councils. It is also the site of a large gladiators' graveyard. House of Virgin Mary and Celsus Library which is built in 117 AD as a monumental tomb for Gaius Julius Celsus Polemaeanus, the governor of the province of Asia; from his son Galius Julius Aquila,was having 14.000 book capacity and has two floors, are a favorite international and local tourist attraction.\nGOCEK :\nSet at the deepest point of the gulf of Fethiye, Gocek nestles at the foot of the pine clad mountains looking out over the '12 islands' of the bay. Gocek which has recently started developing in tourism is becoming a famous yachting harbour both in Turkey and in the world. One of the pleasures of a visit here is a stroll around the Marina to admire the array of boats of all shapes and sizes moored here. The waterfront is lined with bars and restaurants. With Dalaman Airport is only 30 minutes away, Gocek makes an ideal base while waiting for guests or visitors.\nKALKAN :\nKalkan is a town on the Turkish Mediterranean coast, and an important tourist destination. The area includes many historical sites (such as Tlos and Kekova) and many fine beaches (including Patara Beach & Kaputa\u015f Beach). Kalkan was an important harbour town until the 1970s as the only seaport for the environs. It declined after construction of Fethiye road but revived after the emergence of the tourism industry in the region. British newspaper The Independent listed Kalkan among the best tourist destinations, especially for those seeking a romantic vacation .\nKAS :\nKa\u015f (pronounced 'Kash') is a small fishing, diving, yachting and tourist town, and a district of Antalya Province of Turkey. As a tourist resort, it is relatively unspoilt. The town of Ka\u015f is on a hill running down to the Turquoise Coast of southwestern Turkey. Ka\u015f was founded by the Lycians, and its name in Lycian language was Habesos or Habesa. Ka\u015f itself is a quiet pleasant town with its blue sea and narrow streets scented with jasmine flowers. There are plenty of little guest houses, quiet cafes serving home cooking, or small bars to relax after a day's scuba diving. Ka\u015f has an annual arts festival, jazz concerts in the Hellenistic theatre and the Kiln Under the Sea arts collective have held underwater ceramics exhibitions here. Ka\u015f is one of the leading spots for scuba diving in Turkey.\nKEKOVA :\nKekova, also named Caravola is a small Turkish island near Demre (Demre is the Lycian town of Myra) district of Antalya province which faces the villages of Kalek\u00f6y (ancient Simena) and \u00dc\u00e7a\u011f\u0131z (ancient Teimioussa). The Kekova region was declared a specially protected area on 18 January 1990 by Turkish Ministry of Environment and Forest. All kinds of diving and swimming were prohibited and subject to special permits from governmental offices. In later years the prohibition has been lifted except for the part where the sunken city is.\nKNIDOS (CNIDUS) :\nMARMARIS :\nMarmaris, which was built upon one of the antique Karian cities called Phyckos, has been under the rule of many different civilizations. The most valuable work of art that you can see today is Marmaris Castle dating from 1577. There is also a mosque and an 8-room caravansary covered with arches from the Ottoman Period. The ruins of the Antique times lie on Asar Hill; a small, low hill located on the northern side of the city. Being one of the best-known touristic places of Turkey, Marmaris has also a large marina and night life.\nOLUDENIZ :\n\u00d6l\u00fcdeniz (official translation name Blue Lagoon; literally Dead Sea because of being calm even during storms) is a small resort village in the Fethiye district which is in the Mu\u011fla Province, the South West coast of Turkey on the Aegean Sea to the south and the high, steep sided Babada\u011f Mountain, 14 km (9 mi) south of Fethiye. The town is a beach resort. \u00d6l\u00fcdeniz remains one of the most photographed beaches on the Mediterranean. It has a secluded sandy bay at the mouth of \u00d6l\u00fcdeniz, on a blue lagoon. The beach itself is a pebble beach. The lagoon is a national nature reserve and building is strictly prohibited. \u00d6l\u00fcdeniz is famous for its shades of turquoise and aquamarine, and is an official blue flag beach, and is frequently rated among the top 5 beaches in the world by travellers and tourism journals alike.",

        "title": "BAZPAT: Nokia Claims Found Deficient",
        "raw_content": "Opposition to Patent Application No. 732973 in the name of NOKIA CORPORATION by QUALCOMM INC.\nTOPICS: Section 40 issues, clarity of claims. Claims found to lack fair basis.\nNokia Mobile Phones Limited filed patent application 732973 on 17 June 1997 entitled \"Control of Transmission Power in Wireless Packet Data Transfer\". The application was accepted on 3 May 2001. On 3 August 2001, Qualcomm Inc filed a Notice of Opposition. The serving of evidence finally completed on 12 November 2004.\nAccording to the specification, the invention concerns a method for controlling the transmission power taking the special features of packet-switched links into account. The specification exemplifies the invention with the GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) system. In such a system, the data transfer capacity to be reserved for one link is one traffic channel formed by one Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) time slot being cyclically repeated in the transmission frequency and on the receiving frequency.\nIn circuit switched data transfer, one problem is the sufficiency of radio frequencies. Data transfer in packet form has been developed as a solution. However, data transfer in such a form causes problems relating to the control of the transmission power.\nClaim 1 read as follows: \"A method for controlling transmission power in a terminal device of a cellular radio system, the radio connection of which with a certain base station comprises an alternative first state (10) and second state (11), in the first state of which the terminal device receives (30) signals transmitted regularly by the base station and in the second state of which the terminal device additionally transmits (34) data as packets to the base station, characterized in that in said first state the control of the default value of the transmission power in said terminal device is based on measuring (31, 32) of the signals transmitted regularly by the base station, and in said second state the control of the transmission power in said terminal device is based both on the feedback transmitted by the base station on the quality of the data transfer link (35, 36, 37, 39) and on measuring of other signals transmitted regularly by the base station.\"\nThe other independent claim, claim 13, read as follows: \"A method for controlling the transmission power in a base station of a cellular radio system, the radio connection of which at least with one terminal device comprises an alternative first state (10) and second state (11), in the first state of which the base station transmits regularly control signals and in the second state of which the base station additionally transmits data as packets to a certain terminal device, characterized in that in said first state the default value of the transmission power in said base station is the same as the maximum transmission power of the base station and in said second state the control of the transmission power in said base station is based as well on the feedback of the quality of the data transfer link (35, 36, 37, 39) said feedback being transmitted by the terminal device, as on the time passed from the reception of the previous acknowledgment message by the base station from said terminal device.\"\nThe Grounds of Opposition\nQualcomm held that the claimed invention is not a manner of manufacture, is not novel, and does not involve an inventive step. Further, Qualcomm held that the specification did not describe the invention fully and the claims were not clear or fairly based on the matter described in the specification.\nFor the purposes of this post, I will look at the clarity and fair basis issues.\nInterpretation of the Claims\nMuch of the discussion at the hearing was related to whether the claims related to packet-switched or circuit-switched systems.\nNokia asserted that the claims should be read in the context of the specification and of the published knowledge existing at the time of the application. Thus, they asserted that the common sense approach was that the claims referred to packet-switched connections. In response to this the Delegate of the Commissioner, citing D\u00e9cor Corporation Pty Ltd v Dart Industries Inc, 13 IPR 385, commented that it seems impermissible to confine the claims to elements of the description if such elements are not expressly or by proper inference found in the claims themselves.\nThe Delegate had a problem with the claims since they did not define the radio connection between the terminal devices. He set out that the claims were wholly silent in respect to whether the radio connection is packet-switched, circuit-switched or an overlay of one over the other. He again referred to the Decor case and stated that it was not legitimate to confine the scope of the claims by reference to packet-switched limitations that may be found in the specification.\nEvidence adduced by Nokia initially made much of the special features associated with packet-switched systems and that the specification inherently described such features. One of the witnesses set out that it was absurd to say that a circuit-switched radio connection can exist in alternative first and second states. The reason for this is that a circuit-switched radio connection is a continuous circuit which either exists or does not and so cannot exist in more than one state at a time. The converse is true of a packet-switched system.\nThe Delegate held that there was nothing in the claims that clearly defines the operation of the two states. Due to the absence of this operational link, the Delegate held that it may even be interpreted that one or other state is optional since the word \"alternative\" does not mean the states alternate.\nThe Delegate noted that the above independent claims were \"notably silent\" regarding any switching alternately between states. Thus, the Delegate regarded claims 1 and 13 as unclear.\nIn considering the evidence of Nokia that the invention applied to packet-switched systems, the Delegate held that claims 1 and 13 were not fairly based on the specification since these features were absent from the claims.\nThe Delegate raised a number of other issues, including a rather \"startling submission\" by the patent attorney for Nokia that an Applicant would not knowingly claim beyond the descriptive part of the specification or claim the prior art.\nIn any event, this matter emphasizes the need for patent attorneys to ensure that the claims are both easy to understand and that the scope of the claims can readily be ascertained. The claims should be reviewed to ensure that the essential features of the claims correspond with features in the specification.\nIt is clear that a thorough review of Nokia's specification by their Australian agents would have saved them a lot of trouble. This is a good lesson for us Australian practitioners.\nLabels: Claim Construction, Fair Basis",

        "raw_content": "Google camera and meritorious deeds: Red rice Note5 photo quality reversal, directly turned into night vision\nAfter a while, the gods who installed Google Camera for Xiaomi MIX2 appeared on the Internet. After such \"reconstruction\", Xiaomi MIX2 showed the same image quality improvement, even with a single camera catching up in the DxOMark test. Minutes of 8. What would it look like on a double shot? Since the third party has been using Google Camera, there are many restrictions on its use, but Redmi Note5 has become another mobile phone that can be ported and used. The same quality has been reversed.\nGoogle Camera is mainly enhanced by algorithms, after Google's pro-Pixel3 was shocked by the night of the night. However, its compatibility is very poor. For example, the camera application extracted from Google Pixel3 can only be adapted to other relatives of the family. Even if the restrictions are removed, it is only applicable to the Qualcomm platform. Red rice Note5 is just the \u9a81 Dragon 636 model, rear 1200W + 500W pixel dual camera with 1.4um photosensitive area and F1.9 aperture, solidified the hardware foundation.\nDo not talk nonsense, first look at a set of comparison photos. The picture below is the millet camera that comes with Redmi Note5. It should be considered normal to shoot this effect in the dark night. Even if the hardware is too hard, after all, it is only a thousand yuan machine, usually only at least a little better than other thousand yuan machine.\nBut look at the picture below. When replaced with a Google camera, the whole picture is bright, although the noise is clear, but the details in the dark are clear. It can be seen that if you change the camera application, you may not be able to recognize the original place. The distant picture is not only brightened but also the whole becomes clear.\nNext look at the next group, first of all, the picture taken by the default camera of Redmi Note5, the scene is originally dark and there is no light source, this This kind of environment also belongs to the normal level of the thousand yuan machine, although the picture is not clear, but there is nothing to vomit at this price.\nThere was a reversal of the image quality in the same scene, which is completely night vision level. Of course, it is not perfect. For example, the pink high-rise building in the distance is not quite like the normal color of the body or the light source. In fact, it may be caused by multi-frame synthesis and color deviation. But the picture quality of the thousand yuan machine has been changed to this, what else is picky?\nFrom the screenshots of the installations circulating on the Internet, the Google camera has been cracked as a whole, and the pre-installation detection function is also provided. More mobile phones are not impossible.\nWhether Google\u2019s pro-son Pixel3 or the Google App app, which is a separate app, has a phenomenon that is passed under limited hardware conditions. The algorithm can also achieve a good photo effect. But this is only an isolated phenomenon. It is not necessary to question the development capabilities of mobile phone manufacturers and even blame the development direction of most mobile phone manufacturers.\nFor most mobile phone manufacturers, Google\u2019s crushing development of camera algorithms requires more cost, and may not be as straightforward as upgrading hardware. Google's own products and applications have played a role in demonstrating the Android ecosystem, and the demand for profitability may not be strong. But for mobile phone manufacturers, it is more important to obtain a reasonable balance between investment and return. The value orientation of the two is different, and naturally it will move toward different development directions, and finally bring a completely different feeling to the users.\nIn the previous\uff1a698 grams!

Originally posted on February 13, 2017.\nThe U.S. poultry industry has been put on notice that the H5N2 strain of highly pathogenic avian influenza has again been found on U.S. soil.\nUSDA\u2019s Animal & Plant Health Inspection Service has confirmed that the virus was detected in a single hunter-harvested wild mallard duck in Fergus County, Montana.\nWhile there have been no additional detections, as of Jan. 9, of avian influenza in either wild or domestic birds in Montana, USDA stresses the need for good biosecurity programs on poultry farms.\n\u201cThis appears to be one of the strains we saw during the outbreak in 2014 and 2015,\u201d said Dr. Jack Shere, USDA chief veterinarian. \u201cThis finding serves as a powerful reminder that there is still avian influenza circulating in wild birds, and producers and industry need to continue to be vigilant about biosecurity to protect domestic poultry.\u201d\nThe 2015 outbreak killed more than 48 million birds in 223 separate outbreaks across the country and caused U.S. trading partners to ban U.S. egg exports. Revenue for the poultry industry dropped $400 million, or 14 percent, in the first half of 2015 as compared to the previous year.\nThe U.S. egg industry has since rebounded with a surplus of product. But while the U.S. has a surplus, other countries have egg shortages due to outbreaks of avian influenza.\nOne such country is South Korea which has seen its worst-ever bird flu epidemic with a record 31 million birds being culled since November last year. This has led to a shortage of eggs just ahead of the peak egg demand for the Lunar New Year holiday season at the end of January.\nTo help ease the shortage, the U.S. and South Korea reached an agreement in which a total of 2.98 million fresh eggs will be shipped via airlines from the U.S. to South Korea.\nAs part of the agreement, South Korea waived all duties on U.S. egg products, including shell egg and liquid egg products through June 2017.\nThis is the first fresh egg imports from the U.S. to South Korea.\nFirst outbreaks\nIn Europe and Asia, the H5N8 strain of highly pathogenic avian influenza is continuing its onslaught against the poultry industry with several countries reporting first-ever outbreaks of the H5N8 strain.\nFirst-ever outbreaks have been reported in Ukraine, Italy, Spain, Slovenia and the Czech Republic, according to reports from the Center for Infectious Disease Research & Policy at the University of Minnesota.\nUkraine reported three outbreaks, one involving a wild bird and two in poultry, one at a farm and one in backyard birds. Between the two poultry events, the virus killed 1,113 of 10,288 susceptible birds and the remaining were culled as a control measure.\nIn Italy, health officials confirmed the H5N8 virus in a Eurasian pigeon found dead in a lagoon in the northeast near the country\u2019s border with Austria.\nSpain\u2019s first outbreak occurred in the Castilla and Leon community in the northwestern part of the country. Tests on two wild geese that were found dead in a lagoon were positive of H5N8. Response steps include increased surveillance and enhanced biosecurity at area poultry farms.\nSlovenia reported three outbreaks, all involving wild mute swans found dead near ponds and the Drava River near Maribor, the country\u2019s second-largest city.\nThe Czech Republic confirmed its first H5N8 outbreaks in two flocks of backyard birds in the southern part of the country. In the first outbreak near the town of Moravsky, 10 birds died and another 76 were destroyed. In the second outbreak 20 turkeys died in the nearby town of Ivancice.\nA backyard flock was also the site of an outbreak of H5N8 in Croatia, which had previously reported the virus only in wild birds. Fifteen chickens and one turkey were found dead in the town of Pitomaca on the Hungarian border. Another 25 susceptible birds were destroyed.\nNew outbreaks\nAccording to Jan. 9 OIE reports, the H5N8 virus hit more farms in Germany and Poland, with more wild bird detections in Finland, Germany and Sweden. Germany reported 2343 more H5N8 outbreaks, six at farms and 17 involving wild birds. Of nearly 84,000 vulnerable poultry, the virus sickened about 12,000 poultry, killed 154 of them and the remaining birds were culled.\nPoland reported 12 poultry outbreaks, six on farms and six involving backyard birds. The outbreaks affected five different provinces and led to the culling of nearly 140,000 birds.\nOther European developments involving H5N8, according to Jan. 12 reports from the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) include:\nPoland \u2014 two more poultry outbreaks, one in backyard birds and one at a farm. The virus killed 208 of 245 birds at the two locations with the rest destroyed to curb spread of the disease.\nThe Netherlands \u2014 two more outbreaks affected a total of 55 wild birds, both in villages in the central part of the country.\nRomania \u2014 four more outbreaks, three involving wild birds, including whooper swans and mute swans, and one in backyard poultry.\nSlovakia \u2014 two more outbreaks, one in Muscovy ducks at a zoo in Kosice, and one in mute swans found dead in a pond near a village in the Nitra region in the west.\nThe H5N8 continues to hit poultry outside of Europe that reported earlier outbreaks, according to the OIE.\nEgypt reported an outbreak in backyard birds in Sharqia governorate in the north, killing 889 of 190 susceptible ducks and chickens.\nIndia reported 23 more outbreaks, all involving village poultry in Kerala state between Oct. 19 and Nov. 24, 2016. The virus killed 66,571 of 714,090 susceptible birds with the remaining ones culled.\nIn Taiwan the agriculture ministry reported four more H5N8 outbreaks in poultry in four slaughterhouses along with two more HPAI outbreaks of the H5N2 strain on farms in Yunlin County. The events are part of a series of outbreaks involving both strains that have been underway since early 2015.\nhttp://www.biosafesystems.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/poultry-times.jpg 141 624 Laura Bengston http://www.biosafesystems.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/biosafe-systems-logo.jpg Laura Bengston2017-02-20 20:21:062017-02-20 20:21:06High Path Bird Flu Reappears on U.S. Soil\nBioSafe to Exhibit at IPPE 2017 \u2013 Booth #B3965!

        "title": "Cohabiting With a Partner - Boddy-Ryerson LLP",
        "raw_content": "As many of you know, there is an ever-increasing tendency for individuals to co-habit as partners or common law spouses without entering into a marriage. Such arrangements may be opposite or same sex relationships. Some of the relationships are short term and/or may not be regarded as common law relationships. Partners and spouses who are unmarried and live together are now commonly referred to as \u201cpartners\u201d.\nWhat many do not know is that, on death, the rights of the surviving partner are not the same as the rights of a surviving married spouse.\nUnder the Family Law Act (the \u201cFLA\u201d), the surviving married spouse must elect to take under the Will of his or her deceased spouse or to receive his or her entitlement under the FLA. Under the FLA a spouse is entitled to an equalization of net family properties. If the net family property of the deceased married spouse is greater than the net family property of his or her surviving spouse, the surviving spouse under the election can be entitled to one-half the difference between them.\nUnmarried partners do not have the right of election under the FLA. The implication is that if a partner has not provided for his or her surviving partner either by Will or by some other means, the surviving partner may experience some financial difficulties or results that were unanticipated. Recourse would be limited to the rights under the Succession Law Reform Act (the \u201cSLRA\u201d). Under the SLRA, the survivor would have to prove that he or she is a \u201cdependent\u201d. Moreover, you may ultimately need the determination of a court as to how much money you would be entitled to as a dependent under the SLRA. There may be other common law remedies, but proving these may also require judicial proceedings.\nRegardless of the recourse that partners may have outside of the FLA, partners should take measures to protect their respective interests. One protective measure is to have a cohabitation agreement drafted to protect the interests and expectations of each of the partners. It may be that the partners do not wish to be called upon to financially support the other. Conversely, it may be that there is some expectation of the provision of financial support. There may also be matters concerning ownership or entitlement to property that need to be clarified in writing.\nOf course, you\u2019re wondering what is the point of entering into a cohabitation agreement when you hear people saying that it may not be worth the paper it is written on. In fact, you may have found that lawyers were unprepared to give any opinions as to the enforceability of cohabitation agreements given how aggressive some judges were in setting them aside.\nGood news comes in the recent Supreme Court of Canada decision of Miglin. In that case, the message appears to be that decisions made by people in setting out their domestic agreements should, by and large, be respected. In the negotiation and preparation of domestic agreements, it remains important to ensure that independent legal representation is obtained to protect against any provision of the agreement being set aside.\nEstate planning should not be limited to married partners. Given the non-existence of the right to make an election under the FLA, and the lack of certainty as to entitlement under other areas of the law, it is prudent to seek proper professional advice to determine what is recommended in circumstances of cohabitation between non-married partners.",

        "raw_content": "Silverhill \u2013 by Alan Buckle. Review by Edward Preston\nPosted by John Humphries on 28/3/14 \u2022 Categorised as 2014, Arts & Culture, Bohemia Life, History\nAlan Buckle Silverhill\nSilverhill \u2013 From Waterfall to Windmill. Reviewed by Edward Preston.\nThis work covers an area of the town which has seen considerable change from its early days as a farming and rural locality to its present intensely developed residential district with light engineering.\nThere would apparently be little room for further research, since it has been undertaken meticulously by Alan Buckle, aided and abetted (to quote Dickens\u2019 \u201cBirths \u2013 Mrs Meek of a Son\u201d) by the Hastings Local History Group. However, this is a book for dipping into for snippets of information, rather than to be read through, for the intense detail can be overpowering. Indeed, there can be no room for anyone to claim to have been ignored, for the name of every person who did anything in the area seems to have been included.\nOne irritation, to a pedant like me, is the inconsistency in the use/non-use of the apostrophe; e.g. sometimes on the same page will be found: St Lukes and St Luke\u2019s.\nFactually, it is mostly free from error, although there is a serious mistake on page 54, where it is stated both in the text and the caption that the foundation stone of the new Parish Hall was laid by the Mayor \u2013 Alderman R H Bryant. Whereas it was laid on 21st June, 1959 by Alderman Cecil Barfoot, JP, Deputy Mayor of Hastings and Rector\u2019s Warden, as is clearly stated on the foundation stone itself. This demonstrates the danger of simply accepting newspaper reports, and leads to the perpetuation of error.\nClearly, much original research had to be undertaken, since apart from Elizabeth Montgomery\u2019s The Story of Silverhill and St Luke\u2019s, and Alan\u2019s own book: An Independent Chapel \u2013 The Story of St Luke\u2019s in Silverhill, 1853\u20132003, virtually nothing had appeared in print about Silverhill, other than odd references.\nWith a multiplicity of photographs and maps, some apparently published here for the first time, and all aspects of life covered, this is a tour de force, full of interest if taken in easy stages. Many readers will be fascinated by the information, recalling memories of schooldays, places of work, and the shops and services lost forever as we \u2018progress\u2019. It is certainly a valuable addition to the local history bookshelves.\nEdward Preston, 28 March 2014.\nPUBLISHING DETAILS Silverhill \u2013 From Waterfall to Windmill.

Buy this photo\nJERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) - An acrimonious battle in New Jersey over plans to move a waterfront statue commemorating the 1940 massacre of Poles has ended.\nJersey City Mayor Steve Fulop and local Polish groups announced late Saturday that they have reached an agreement on relocating the Katyn Memorial. Details on the deal will be announced today.\nFulop, a Democrat, called the deal a \u201cwin-win\u201d in a tweet announcing the agreement. He wrote that the goal was one that \u201crespects/cares/keeps the monument in an extremely prominent location to honor sacrifices\u201d while also giving the city \u201ca chance to re-purpose our waterfront.\u201d\nCity officials wanted to move the statue as part of a renovation of the plaza where it currently stands, on the waterfront across from downtown New York City. The head of the group organizing the renovation has called the statue \u201cgruesome\u201d and has said he prefers that it get a new home, according to published reports.\nBut the Polish groups opposed that and had sought a court order in recent days to block the move.\nThe bronze statue depicts a Polish soldier bound, gagged and impaled by a bayonet.\nIt sparked strong emotions in Poland, where Katyn is remembered as one of the worst tragedies to befall the nation in a long tragedy-filled history.\nThe plans to remove the statue have been a top news story in Poland in recent days, where many feel that it is revenge for the passage earlier this year of a Polish law that makes it a crime to blame Poland for any of the Holocaust crimes committed by Nazi Germany.\nThe Polish government said Sunday it\u2019s pleased an agreement has been reached, but declined comment on it.\nA Jersey City spokeswoman declined to elaborate on Fulop\u2019s tweet.",

I had an extended stay due to a gnarly case of Lyme's Carditis. They couldn't get my heart rate back up to normal so I started watching the second season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The season finally was so intense that my vitals show right back up!

        "raw_content": "One of The Players the Mets Got In the Tom Seaver Trade: Dan Norman (1977-1981)\nDaniel Edmund Norman was born on January 11, 1955 in Los Angeles, California. The six foot two switch hitting outfielder was drafted in the 15th round of the 1974 amateur draft by the Cincinnati Reds.\nHe played through the Reds system next to outfielder Steve Henderson s getting promoted together through the minor leagues. In 1976 he hit 17 HRs batting .273 at AA Trois-Rivieres getting promoted to AAA Indianapolis the following year.\nOn June 15, 1977 he was traded along with his pal, Steve Henderson as well as Doug Flynn & Pat Zachary to the Mets for Tom Seaver in the famous \u201cMidnight Massacre\u201d trade. According to former WFAN Radio talk show host, Jody Macdonald; he thought Norman was going to be a star player. He told his dad, Joe MacDonald who was the Mets GM at the time to make sure he got Norman in the trade.\nComing to New York Henderson got promoted right away to the Mets team while Norman was sent down to AAA Tidewater. There he batted .264 with 10 HRs & a .344 on base % in 80 games. He got a late September call up, debuting in Pittsburgh against the Pirates on September 27th as a pinch hitter. He went 4-16 with four walks on the season.\nHe was back at AAA Tidewater in 1978 leading the team in HRs (18) RBIs (66) & batting (.281) getting another September cup of coffee. In his second game he hit his first MLB HR at Olympic Stadium against the Montreal Expos.\nTwo days later he had a career day, going 2-4 with a pair of HRs and three RBIs leading the Mets to a 5-4 win over the Philadelphia Phillies at Veterans Stadium. He closed out the season driving in runs in his last two games. On the year he hit .266 with 4 HRs one triple 7 runs scored& 10 RBIs.\nIn 1979 he was back at AAA Tidewater getting up to the Mets big league squad in July. He saw action in 44 games batting .245 with 3 HRs 11 RBIs. In 1980 he was on the club for the entire season, & manager Joe Torre used him mostly as a pinch hitter. This probably wasn't a good idea for a 25 year old kid, he played in 69 games overall, (19 in the outfield) but his average fell to.185 with just two HRs & 9 RBIs.\nIn May of 1981 he was playing at Tidewater when he was part of another big Mets trade. This time he was sent to the Montreal Expos along with Jeff Reardon for outfielder Ellis Valentine.\nHe spent 1981 in the minors & in 1982 played in only 53 games for the Expos batting .212 before his ending his MLB career. He would play in the minors through 1986 spending 12 years there playing in 1183 games. In five seasons he hit .227 with 79 hits 11 HRs 8 doubles 3 triples 29 runs scored 37 RBIs & a .287 on base %.\nRetirement: After his playing days Norman became a manager in the Florida State League (1987) the Arizona League (1995/2000) & the Canadian baseball League (2003).\nOne of The Players the Mets Got In the Tom Seaver ...\nShort Time Late Sixties Mets Pitcher: Al Schmelz (...\nShort Time Early Nineties Mets Infielder: Jeff Gar...\nNew York Mets Hitting Coach: Dave Hudgens (2011-20...\nFormer Mets Outfielder: Alex Escobar (2001)",

That year he was sixth in the league hitting six batters with pitches, in 95 innings he also allowed 37 walks. In 1956 he was tied for second on the Giants staff with seven saves, going 3-4 with a 3.61 ERA.\nIn the Giants last season in New York in 1957, he only pitched three April innings allowing five earned runs. He was gone by May 3rd pitching back in the Pacific Coast League. He then pitched at AAA Miami the rest of 1957 through 1959.\nIn his seven year MLB career McCall was 11-15 with 12 saves a 4.22 ERA 144 strike outs 103 walks in 253 innings over 134 appearances. In the minors he was 80-70 with a 4.36 ERA in 283 games over ten years.",

        "raw_content": "Bright-sided 1\nThose of you managing to break away from festivities in the last few weeks will be aware that the media have been giving a fair amount of attention to Barbara Ehrenreich's latest book - Bright Sided: How the relentless promotion of positive thinking has undermined America.\nEhrenreich is a heavy weight writer whose work deserves attention. My main criticism of the book is that it isn't long enough \u2013 this is an important topic and I think it deserved more in-depth consideration than she can give it in two hundred, fairly small pages, However, I agree with most of her conclusions.\nThere's little doubt that many people will be offended by what she writes. The first main critique in the book is in the first chapter called 'Smile or die: the bright side of cancer'. In a nutshell Ehrenreich, who has herself had breast cancer, reveals how the victims of the disease in the USA have been taken over by positive thinking. What this means in effect is the belief \u2013 completely unjustified \u2013 that those suffering from this disease can cure themselves by their positive thoughts. Indeed this world is now so dominated by the ideology of positive thinking that victims are urged to love their cancer and appreciate what it can help them understand about life. This means that any type of negative thought, or anger, is considered inappropriate. What this then does is stop people looking critically at what is behind the growing epidemic of breast cancer as it encourages victims to cheerfully assume that somehow they are to blame for what is happening to them and primarily responsible for battling the cancer with their optimism.\nEhrenreich also takes issue with the type of thinking behind that multi-million business phenomenon 'The Secret'. Since I'm also appalled by the underlying philosophy behind this approach (and wrote an earlier blog on the topic) I particularly relished her critique. She also links the rise of illogical, magical thinking in business with the financial crisis which has had such a negative effect on our lives. And again I couldn't agree more with what she writes. She also makes a very convincing argument on how churches in America have largely jettisoned their Christian teaching and values and replaced them with the values of Corporate America \u2013 thus God 'wants you to be rich' and if you fail it is your own fault.\nEhrenreich goes much further than I have in critiquing more mainstream coaching and management practices. Basically she argues that in the two decades after 1981 around thirty million workers lost their full time jobs in American institutions. Most went on to get other jobs but often with less money and less security as many of the new jobs were temporary, contract or freelance. Many of the new jobs also included a new emphasis on sales techniques. These circumstances, according to Ehrenreich were instrumental in the rise of motivational speakers and techniques. In place of security or job perks, employees were treated to endless opportunities to learn ways to be more positive:\nBy and large, America's white-collar corporate workforce drank the Kool-Aid, as the expression goes, and accepted positive thinking as a substitute for their former affluence and security. They did not take to the streets, shift their political allegiance in large numbers, or show up at work with automatic weapons in hand. As one laid-off executive told me with quiet pride, 'I've gotten over my negative feelings, which were so dysfunctional''. Positive thinking promised them a sense of control in a world (which) \u2026 was always moving. They may have less power to change their own futures, but they had been given a worldview \u2013 a belief system, almost a religion \u2013 that claimed they were in fact infinitely powerful, if only they could master their own minds.\nAnd what is her view of positive psychology? That's the subject of a future blog. Meanwhile, all the best for 2010.",

        "raw_content": "Lately, I\u2019ve been thinking a lot about the whole concept of sharing on social media. I enjoy sharing what I\u2019ve created and I often hear from people who tell me they like to see what I\u2019ve made. But it\u2019s also easy to get caught up in the number of likes and comments, and of being disappointed when I thought I had something really fun to share. But yet it doesn\u2019t get many likes.\nSo I took a little trip back in my memory of what life was like before I had social media to share my creations. And that reminded me of Bonnie.\nBonnie was my neighbor several houses ago and I often joked that we bonded at the sewing machine at night making quilts and assorted other things\u2013 nautical rope wreaths (we twisted my then-husband Joe to bring us rope back from a trip to Portland, Maine, where a company he sold for was based), potpourri, pillow covers, and quilts.\nI always went over to Bonnie and Greg\u2019s house in the evening, after dinner and first up was show and tell. With a cigarette in one hand, she\u2019d have a stack of magazines and catalogs she had read and pages marked with something to show me (and C-Span playing on the television). Then we would venture into the large craft room at the back of the house behind the kitchen where she\u2019d show me something she had made the previous week or had started a project we agreed to work on. I would bring anything I had done\u2013 although I was teaching high school at the time and didn\u2019t have as much time as she did to create.\nThis was how I shared, or through emailing photos to people in my life or having a party at my house where people enjoyed seeing whatever it was that was new since their last visit.\nThe photo above is a portion of something she made for me, taking \u201cthings\u201d from my life and attaching them to a crazy quilt, and, finally, framing it. It\u2019s hung in one of the guest rooms in my house since she made it for me nearly twenty years ago.\nBut mostly creating was about my making my inner self happy\u2013 the intrinsic value. It was about what was inside, about making something, finishing it, standing up and holding it out and saying, \u201cYes, I like that.\u201d That feeling of accomplishment inside me.\nI\u2019m very grateful that I can share whatever I\u2019ve made to a larger audience. However, I always remind myself that it\u2019s about how it makes me feel inside. I don\u2019t ever want to forget the feeling of accomplishment for myself that has long driven me to where I am today.\nIt always seems perfect. And then turns complicated.\nIt was the perfect fabric. I was looking for a specific weight for a dress I wanted to make. With the amount of chiffon and georgette one can find in the Los Angeles Fashion District, this would have been a cinch.\nAnd I thought it was when I saw it.\n\u201cThis is it,\u201d I told Greg who was happy he\u2019d been the one to point the way to this store, having already scoped it out after running another roll of ten yards of knit to the car. \u201cI\u2019m in love.\u201d\nIt was paisley, it was pink. It was orange. It was green. It was yellow. It was the 1970s. It was my Barbies.\nWe asked the woman working in the store what the price per yard was, $1.80. I was cool with that.\nThe minimum? I expected her to say five or ten yards, what we\u2019d be quoted at the stores on the block next to this one.\n\u201cIt\u2019s by the roll,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd the rolls are a minimum of fifty yards.\u201d\nI\u2019m not there yet and knew it, leaving the store with a sample in my hand, but feeling dejected, not wanting to let this pattern slip through my fingers.\nWe drove to another part of the garment district and I found myself in a little prayer with my dad. \u201cPlease bring me a coin if I\u2019m supposed to buy this fabric today,\u201d I prayed. Then I felt silly and added, \u201cNo, it\u2019s okay.\u201d\nI thought it was stupid to ask him if I should buy the fabric. I didn\u2019t need that much, I didn\u2019t need to focus on it. I would let it go and eventually it would come back when the time was right, maybe in another form. When that happened, I\u2019d look into the rearview mirror and understand why it transpired the way that it did.\nI let it go, we parked the car, and walked toward the store where I needed to get piping for pillows and I looked down. A penny.\nThe fashion district is filled with homeless; we walk by more makeshift tents than I can count with all my hands and toes put together. There\u2019s never a coin to be found. Except this one.\n\u201cWe\u2019re going back,\u201d I told Greg, \u201cafter we finish the items on the list.\u201d\nThat\u2019s where it got complicated. The woman kept upping the minimum on the rolls from 50 yards to 60 to 70. I definitely didn\u2019t need that much fabric (but curtains were starting to sound good). She also couldn\u2019t get to the rolls because there were too many on top of them (they\u2019d used a forklift earlier that morning in another store to get to the pink lining that I\u2019d requested). She would have to wait about an hour for some of the delivery guys to come back and help her.\nWe left the store with plans to drive another store that was a few miles away, me knowing it might kill enough enough time. I\u2019d already come this far, I was going to get the fabric now.\nThree blocks away, the woman called.\n\u201cI don\u2019t know how it happened but I found a roll with 32 yards on it,\u201d she said.\nStill more than I needed (at least until I make the first dress), but more manageable. And definitely meant to be mine.\nCarson's shangri la\nI\u2019ve put off writing this blog and it\u2019s been easy with the holiday hustle and bustle. I\u2019ve felt like I\u2019ve been chasing myself and now as things start to wind down, at least through the new year before they wind up again, I know that I need to write this because life is going to change again soon. I\u2019ve made it a tradition\u2013 although I don\u2019t think that\u2019s a good word\u2013 to write about each of my dogs after they have died and while Carson was only with us for the end of his life, he deserves a blog, too.\nI miss him. I miss his presence. I find myself grabbing three treats from the cactus cookie jar where I keep them rather than two. The house is quieter. Lilly needs someone to at least pretend to chase her around the yard and Hattie wishes Lilly had someone to chase her around so she would leave her alone and quit being the annoying little sister.\nBut this is what I remind myself\u2013 Carson is happy now, he is out of his pain.\nThe last month of his life was trying for all of us and I\u2019ll admit it was a strain on our relationship. Carson had lost control of his bladder and my days were spent changing his wrap (fancy word for diaper), sometimes him running from me after I had let him outside, but needed to put it back on before he returned inside. At 4:00 am the day before we put him down, he stood at the far end of the yard and we had a staring contest, me refusing to go any further outside in my bare feet and thirty-some degree temperatures. I won the contest only after I shut the door and pretended to walk away\u2013 inside the house.\nI felt as if Hattie and Lilly missed out on attention because most of my time was going to Carson. I started to find Lilly sleeping upstairs by herself, a place she never went unless someone was with her.\nThe strain took its toll, but I still struggled with actually putting him down two weeks ago today. He had a zest for life and I didn\u2019t want to put him down too early. But I also didn\u2019t want to keep him around too long because it wasn\u2019t about us. It was about releasing him from his pain.\nTwo weeks later, I now remind myself in my sadness that he\u2019s happy now, he\u2019s met my family and all the dogs that have gone before him. After what appeared to have been a challenging life, he found happiness with us, so much so that he defied the expectations of his lifespan and may have been seventeen when he died. He\u2019s out of pain and anything that happened to him that left him fearful here in his life melted away as he went to sleep with that sedative and drifted into his new life.\nHis new life of love.\nMeaning in the Christmas Season\nDecember 3, 2018 Michelle Rusk\nI told Greg that I\u2019m going to make prickly pear hard candy until the cows come home, partly because we have so much puree and partly because it feels like something unique and special that I can share with everyone.\nYet it took me by surprise last week when I dropped off a bag to two Native American friends and he told me what a special and meaningful gift it is. He and his wife grew up eating prickly pears near the Gallup area where they were raised. It also surprised me how happy they were to taste the candy, telling me it was a taste from their childhood, and one they hadn\u2019t had in a long time.\nI was so excited as I left their business (where I drop off my packages for shipping), knowing I had given them a treat, a piece of their childhood, something that left them in awe.\nAs I drove home, I thought about how this is what the Christmas season is about. It\u2019s about doing something meaningful for others, about making the season special by making something for others.\nThe holiday season goes fast, but we can fill it with joy by giving to others. And thus filling ourselves with joy.\nAs I spend much of my time working on moving forward, what I don\u2019t do often is reflect on where I\u2019ve been. But because I keynoted several conferences over the past six weeks\u2013 and I was speaking about how I\u2019ve gone forward in my life despite my many losses which was a new talk for me\u2013 I had to take the time to think about how I\u2019ve gotten where I am to create my talks.\nSometimes I share the aspects of my life that inspire me, yet I\u2019ve also realized that I might not be reflecting fully on them and that\u2019s what happened over the month prior to speaking.\nSince I was six years old, I knew I wanted to be a writer. Not just a writer, but an author. I wanted to tell stories. I don\u2019t think I knew what those stories were going to be beyond the picture books I made with Raggedy Ann and Andy starring, but it was my dream to have my name on the side of a book.\nThat dream stayed alive for most of my childhood and teen years except for several side roads I veered down, testing other waters. But the roads always took me back to writing. What I see now is that many times I took those side roads to learn something I needed to write about. Even today when I find myself deeply interested in a topic and wonder why I didn\u2019t pursue it before, I realize that somewhere it might fit into a story.\nWhen my sister died in 1993, at least in the memories I have now, I don\u2019t remember that the writing dream died. I believe it remained an ember\u2013 an ember that all of us have as I written previously about hope\u2013 because it wasn\u2019t going to die. I had a road to travel and eventually I would make my way back to it.\nI also believe that that dream is what has kept me going all these years. While I make handbags and clothes and do all sorts of other things, it is when I am writing that I truly feel I am doing what I\u2019m supposed to be doing. The stories, the people, their lives, are with me constantly and many days keep me motivated around frustrations and the routine of life.\nThe hard part is that the dream hasn\u2019t manifested itself yet as want it to. Yes, I have written multiple books, but I\u2019m not where I want to be, on the bestseller list\u2013 yet. That ember keeps burning and I keep writing, knowing that somewhere along the way the flame will spark and suddenly the fire will take off.",

        "raw_content": "The above headline appeared as the title of a feature article originally published in Northern Colorado Business Report of Feb. 20, 2004. The article, whose subtitle was, \"Medical community losing its opposition to chiropractic care,\" was written by Chryss Cada, and features a number of testimonials from chiropractic patients.\nThe opening testimonial came from a woman, Nancy Summers who took her 10-year-old daughter, Anna, to a chiropractor. It seems that Anna had been having \"episodes\", for which she had been brought to general physicians and a neurologist. During these episodes, the athletic and otherwise healthy young girl became dizzy, had ringing in her ears and was unable to function. Her mom believes the episodes are the result of an ATV accident.\nNeurologists, thinking Anna might be suffering from some type of migraine headache, put her first on anti-seizure medication and then diuretics (in an effort to drain excess fluid from her ears and restore her balance). The drugs did have some positive impact on Anna's symptoms, but they also had side effects. \"It wasn't like she was totally zoned, but it's like she was numb and not the same girl she had been before,\" Anna's mother said. \"And we weren't really happy with the idea of having her on medication for the rest of her life.\"\nAnna's mother, Nancy, recalled that Anna had had three episodes the week before going to the chiropractor. However, after starting chiropractic care, her mother noted, \"The weekend after there was not one episode. It was incredible. We were totally in shock.\" The article further reported that since Anna began chiropractic care in November, she has had only a handful of episodes and those have been milder and up to nearly a month apart.\nMs. Summers said she felt her daughter's doctors were trying to dissuade her from seeking chiropractic care. \"It's like the traditional medical community acts like seeking a treatment outside of that medical community is irresponsible,\" she said. \"It was a big step to take her to a chiropractor. But now I know it was definitely the best decision we made.\"\nThe article's author further noted that, according to a study published in the Nov. 11, 1998 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, approximately 11 percent of the population visited a doctor of chiropractic in 1997. That translates into approximately 30 million patients.",

The relationship between earthquakes and volcanoes is that they are formed the same way.

        "raw_content": "The Family Law Act defines the term spouse and covers the areas of spousal support, child support and division of property.\nIn Prince Edward Island, the definition of \u201cspouse\u201d is:\n* two people who are legally married, or\n* two people who have lived together in a conjugal (sexual) relationship for 3 years or more, or\n* two people who are living together in a conjugal (sexual) relationship and are the natural or adoptive parents of a child or children.\nThe term \u201ccommon-law\u201d is no longer a legal term because it is contained within the definition of spouse.\nThe Family Law Act is a provincial act that regulates how separating couples deal with child support and spousal support, whether married or not, and the division of property between legally married persons. The Family Law Act does not deal with the division of property between people who are leaving unmarried spousal relationships. Whenever you are ending a long-term relationship, whether you are married or not, it's a good idea to speak with a lawyer. You both need legal advice.\nMediation is a process in which the separating couple meet with a neutral mediator and try to reach a mutually acceptable agreement. Mediation can be used to settle disagreements around division of property, custody, or support. It is a cooperative process for settling disputes. If you cannot come to an agreement and you go to court, a judge decides the outcome of your situation. You have to follow the court order whether or not you agree.\nSome couples use mediation instead of going to court or they go to court only in the areas where they have not reached agreement. Mediation can be less expensive, less emotionally distressing, and can result in a satisfactory conclusion for both sides.\nThe Act encourages mediation. It allows a judge to appoint a mediator to help with disagreements between a couple. The couple must agree on the mediator. When the process is complete, the mediator files a report with the court about the mediated agreement. Does mediation cost anything? Mediation is a professional service and there is a cost that must be paid by the couple. This may or may not be divided equally. The judge may order how the cost should be divided.\nThere is a free mediation service available through Family Court to deal with custody, access and child support issues. To find out if you are eligible for this service, call Family Court Mediation at 902-368-6655.\nPrivate mediators usually charge an hourly fee. To find a private mediator, go to Mediation PEI or Family Mediation Canada or call Community Legal Information Association (902-892-0853 or 1-800-240-9798) for a list of mediators. There are many private mediators and some lawyers do mediation. If you are worried about the cost, ask how much mediation will cost when you first speak to the mediator.\nThis section applies only to legally married spouses.\nTo divide your property, you must first calculate what your net property is worth. To do this, you look at what you owned at the date of separation and determine its value. If you can't agree on the value, an outside valuer may be brought in to appraise your property and place a value on it. Everything you own is part of this valuation including:\n* land,\n* houses,\n* personal property such as cars, jewellery, boats,\n* savings and investments,\n* tools,\n* business interests (including farming and fishing),\n* pensions and RRSPs.\nOnce the decision has been made about the total value of everything you own together, you start making deductions such as:\n* the debts you owe (mortgage, car loan, etc.),\n* the value of any property each of you owned on the date of your marriage,\n* damages for personal injury settlements, and\n* proceeds from life or accident insurance policies (in certain cases).\nThere are other deductions that may be made and there are circumstances that may change whether something is deducted or not. It is important to speak to a lawyer or a divorce accountant when you divide your property.\nThe result of these calculations is the net value of your family property. Each of you gets half of that total value. You negotiate who takes what and record what has already been taken by either party. In the end, one of you may owe an equalization payment to the other so that what each of you has is of equal value.\nIf you need help reaching agreement on the terms of a separation agreement, you can contact a mediator or a lawyer. A lawyer works for you alone, so your spouse will have to find another lawyer who will give him or her independent legal advice. A mediator can work with both of you to decide what to include in a separation agreement. Your lawyers can then use this agreement as a basis of a separation agreement. For more information, CLIA has a handout called \u201cWhat Do I Include in a Separation Agreement?\u201d\nUnequal divison of property\nYou and your ex can agree upon an unequal division of property. A judge can also order an unequal division of property.\nIf a judge determines that an equalization agreement would not be fair, he or she can order an equalization payment which is different from the amount reached through the calculation described earlier. The kinds of things that would be looked at are:\n* one spouse not knowing about debts owed by the other spouse before marriage;\n* debts made recklessly or in bad faith;\n* an intentional or reckless lessening of the value of the property;\n* the number of years married if less than five years;\n* an unequal sharing of responsibility to support the family; and\n* any other relevant circumstances.\nThe judge can also look at how the value of the property has changed since you have been separated.\nSale of property before or after the separation\nIf your spouse sold or transferred the property just so that you would not be able to have your share of it, the court can decide to treat it as though he or she still owned it when you separated.\nIf the property was transferred within 90 days of separation, your spouse must prove that this was not done in order to prevent you from receiving your fair share. If it was transferred more than 90 days before you separated, it will be up to you to prove that it was done to prevent it being shared with you.\nWanting your Ex to leave the home\nBoth of you have an equal right to live in the family home and neither one of you can force the other to leave unless there is a court order for \"exclusive possession\".\nCourt orders depend on individual circumstances and will only be made if it is in the best interests of the children to stay in the home, or if:\n* there is a written agreement\n* one spouse's financial situation merits it or\n* there has been violence committed against one of you by the other.\nIf there has been violence in the family, the victim may use the Victims of Family Violence Act to stay in the family home and have the offender removed. For more information about this Act, contact Victim Services at 902-368-4582 in Charlottetown or 902-888-8217 in Summerside. CLIA has pamphlets called \u201cFamily Violence and the Law\u201d and \u201cCourt Orders for Your Protection\u201d that you can get by phoning 902-892-0853 or 1-800- 240-9798 or on our website at www.cliapei.ca .\nSeparating parents who were never married, or are not getting a divorce, pay support according to the Family Law Act.\nParents who are already divorced, or are in the process of getting a divorce, pay support according to the Divorce Act.\nParents have a joint financial responsibility to their children. When you separate, one parent may have to pay child support to the other.\nFactors that affect child support are:\n* the province you live in,\n* your custody arrangements,\n* the number of children,\n* medical, extracurricular, child-care and other extra expenses,\n* whether your child is in post-secondary education.\nBasic child support is calculated using the Child Support Guidelines tables.\nChild support is not taxable for the receiving parent and not deductible for the paying parent.\nFor more information on child support call CLIA (902-892-0853 or 1-800-240-9798) or the Child Support Guidelines Offices (Charlottetown 902-368-6220 or Summerside 902-888-8188).\nThe Act says that every parent must provide for their children if:\n* the child is under 18 years of age; or\n* the child is older than 18 and enrolled in a full-time program of education; or\n* the child is unable to support him or herself because of illness or disability.\nIf your child is 16 or older and has voluntarily left home against your wishes, then you may not have to pay child support.\nThe law says that you must try to support yourself after a separation or divorce. However, if one of you is unable to support yourself or will suffer a big drop in income or standard of living as a result of the separation, a claim for spousal support can be made. There are spousal support advisory guidelines that are not law but are being used by the courts to determine how much spousal support must be paid and for how long.\nSpousal support is taxable income for the person receiving support and is a deductible expense for the person paying support. 6 More information about the guidelines can be found at the Department of Justice Canada website or in CLIA\u2019s pamphlet \u201cSpousal Support: What You Need To Know\u201d.\nYou can apply for a restraining order under the Family Law Act to have your spouse or former spouse ordered to stop molesting, annoying or harassing you. If you wish to apply for a restraining order, contact a lawyer and explain your situation.\nThe Victims of Family Violence Act makes it possible to obtain an Emergency Protection Order which gives the police the power to take whatever steps are necessary for the immediate safety of the victim. The Act also allows for a Victim Assistance Order which gives the victim longer term protection from abuse until more permanent arrangements can be made under the Family Law Act or Criminal Code.\nFor more information about the Victims of Family Violence Act you can get pamphlets from Community Legal Information Association: 1-800-240-9798 or 902-892-0853, or you may contact Victim Services: Charlottetown, 902-368-4582, or Summerside, 902-888-8217.",

I can\u2019t close my eyes without seeing the stricken look on his face after Sunday\u2019s game.\nUntil recently, Papelbon was invincible. Post-season jitters? No. The other team had post-season jitters when Papelbon was on the mound, knowing that he would strike them out with the force of a thousand angry gods! He would smite them with his four-seam! Embarrass them with his curve ball!\nIt was all quite remarkable.\nNow I just feel bad for the poor guy. After years of epic outings, Sox fans have left him for dead.\n\u201cOh, that\u2019s it. It\u2019s just like Rivera in \u201904.\u201d\n\u201cYep. Papelbon just doesn\u2019t have it anymore! He\u2019s done.\u201d\nFolks, let\u2019s be realistic. Papelbon has great stats as a closer. (No, I\u2019m not getting into those here. My eyes start to bleed when I stare at statistics, remember?) But now, after just one loss, albeit an important one, we\u2019re discounting everything that he\u2019s done for the Sox. People! Papelbon is a household name! Why do you think that is? It\u2019s certainly not because he\u2019s throwing grapefruits across the plate at 40 mph.\nWhen you say Papelbon in New England, the word doesn\u2019t need to be followed by \u201cthe closer for the Red Sox.\u201d Everyone knows who the man is. More people know who Papelbon is than who the mayor of Boston is, and no one knows who the mayor of Worcester is, unless they live in Worcester, and even then, the odds are 50-50. Further, you Massholes, when you say Papelbon across the nation, it doesn\u2019t need to be followed up by \u201cthe closer for the Boston Red Sox\u201d 80 percent of the time. Everyone from Cape Cod, Massachusetts to Cape Wrangell, Alaska has heard of Johnathan Papelbon. Maybe he has not won the Nobel Peace Prize, but the man has almost as much name recognition as Barack Obama. Seriously.\nHe\u2019ll be hard enough on himself this winter without Boston goons analyzing his every move. Have none of you ever met a real athlete?! They do more self-analysis than me and my shrink. They do more guilt than a Jewish grandmother. They re-watch the game footage, they practice non-stop on perfecting their motions. They relive their defeats every night. Sure, he\u2019ll let it go\u2026 mostly. But we all know that Jonathan Papelbon is never going to forget that horrible, awful, dreadful (I\u2019m getting carried away) outing when he single-handedly knocked the Red Sox out of the ALCS!\nRight\u2026 sorry about that.\nLike most of you, I\u2019m still not over the loss. In fact, I remember thinking I could seek comfort in watching the Pats win, but that didn\u2019t happen either. Then, I thought I could for sure count on a Bruins win on Columbus Day! It\u2019s been a famine around here lately.\nForget Papelbon, but just swing by and make sure I\u2019m still alive in a few days, OK?\nLabels: Boston Red Sox, Hit Like a Girl, Jonathan Papelbon\ncan't believe Cape Wrangel wasn't listed as one of the keywords.

Comparing 4/17/08 and the Bible to \u201c2008 God\u2019s Final Witness\u201d\nPope Benedict XVI on Passover and the Truth \u00bb\nA Shmura Matzo (Unleavened Bread is Used for Passover)\nWhile most who profess Christ observed \u201cEaster\u201d last month, those who follow the practices of the Bible, Jesus, His disciples, and the post-apostolic church, will be observing Passover tonight after sunset.\nEaster Sunday was implemented because of fear and antisemitism combined with a Greco-Roman confederation who did not believe that they had to follow the practices of the Apostle John and the early Christian leaders in Asia Minor.\nNotice what Polycrates wrote to Roman Bishop Victor when Victor tried to enforce a Sunday \u201cEaster\u201d instead of the biblical Passover:\nWe observe the exact day; neither adding, nor taking away. For in Asia also great lights have fallen asleep, which shall rise again on the day of the Lord\u2019s coming, when he shall come with glory from heaven, and shall seek out all the saints. Among these are Philip, one of the twelve apostles, who fell asleep in Hierapolis; and his two aged virgin daughters, and another daughter, who lived in the Holy Spirit and now rests at Ephesus; and, moreover, John, who was both a witness and a teacher, who reclined upon the bosom of the Lord, and, being a priest, wore the sacerdotal plate. He fell asleep at Ephesus. And Polycarp in Smyrna, who was a bishop and martyr; and Thraseas, bishop and martyr from Eumenia, who fell asleep in Smyrna. Why need I mention the bishop and martyr Sagaris who fell asleep in Laodicea, or the blessed Papirius, or Melito, the Eunuch who lived altogether in the Holy Spirit, and who lies in Sardis, awaiting the episcopate from heaven, when he shall rise from the dead? All these observed the fourteenth day of the passover according to the Gospel, deviating in no respect, but following the rule of faith. And I also, Polycrates, the least of you all, do according to the tradition of my relatives, some of whom I have closely followed. For seven of my relatives were bishops; and I am the eighth. And my relatives always observed the day when the people put away the leaven. I, therefore, brethren, who have lived sixty-five years in the Lord, and have met with the brethren throughout the world, and have gone through every Holy Scripture, am not affrighted by terrifying words. For those greater than I have said \u2018 We ought to obey God rather than man\u2018 (Eusebius. Church History, Book V, Chapter 24. Translated by Arthur Cushman McGiffert. Excerpted from Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, Series Two, Volume 1. Edited by Philip Schaff and Henry Wace. American Edition, 1890. Online Edition Copyright \u00a9 2004 by K. Knight).\nNotice that Polycrates said that he and the other early church leaders (like the Apostles Philip and John, and their successors like Polycarp, Thraseas, Sagaris, Papirius, Melito) would not deviate from the Bible, and that they knew the Bible taught them to keep the Passover on the correct date, and not on a Sunday. Also notice that they always observed the day when the people put away the leaven. Polycrates also reminded the Roman bishop that true followers of Christ \u201cobey God rather than men\u201d.\nHence it is clear that throughout the second century, the churches in Asia Minor continued to observe the Passover on the 14th of Nisan (and for doing so, they were labeled as Quartodecimans by the Romans), unlike the Romans, and they refused to accept the authority of any Roman bishop over scripture.\nNotice that Polycrates specifically claimed that he followed what John did. Now notice that John calls those who do not follow what he taught as antichrists:\nLittle children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us (1 John 2:18-19).\nThus, this subject of Passover is important (see also the article Doctrines of Antichrist).\nAnyway, those who still obey God rather than man will be observing Passover this evening. Those who prefer the traditions of men will ignore what I have written.\nAnd those who want to obey God will search \u201cthe Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so\u201d (Acts 17:11).\nSome articles that may be of assistance may include:\nShould Christians Keep the Days of Unleavened Bread? Do they have any use or meaning now? This article supplies some biblical answers.\nThis entry was posted on Friday, April 18th, 2008 at 9:54 am\tand is filed under Church History, Doctrine.\nPassover is Tonight\nSagaris of Laodicea\nOrthodox \u201cEaster\u201d Today\nTPM Advocates Wrong Passover Date\nSecond Passover is after sunset May 2\nWas Apollinaris of Hierapolis Church of Rome of Church of God?\nThe Second Passover is Tonight",

        "raw_content": "3 arrests after parachute jumps off Foresthill Bridge\nChristopher Ludlow\nThree out-of-county men were arrested on suspicion of trespassing on the Foresthill Bridge catwalk near Auburn after parachute jumps off the 730-foot-high span at dusk were spotted by authorites.\nThe arrests took place Sunday night after a group of parachutists were seen by deputies jumping off the span - the highest in California and fourth highest in the U.S.\nThe arrests followed a report of a possible jumper.\nThe Placer County Sheriff\u2019s Office was advised by dispatchers at 9:19 p.m. that a woman was on the outside railing of the bridge over the north fork American River canyon contemplating suicide. Two other suicidal people had been talked off the bridge earlier in the week by emergency personnel. A total of 87 people have plunged to their deaths since 1973.\nThe Sheriff\u2019s Office said deputies responded but found no sign of a woman on the railing.\nDeputies also checked under the bridge deck and witnessed a group of people jump with parachutes from the catwalk. The area is posted for no trespassing and entering the enclosed catwalk under the bridge is a misdemeanor offense.\nDeputies alerted State Parks rangers, who were below the bridge as part of the emergency effort that followed the potential suicide report.\nIn the waning light, a deputy relayed the location of three jumpers to rangers and he lit them up with his flashlight during their entire descent into the canyon, the Sheriff\u2019s Office said.\nOnce the jumpers landed, the three ran from the ranger, who followed them with lights and sirens on, in his patrol vehicle.\nThe three were detained and booked into Placer County Jail on suspicion of resisting arrest and trespassing on the bridge catwalk.\nThere were other jumpers, but they were able to get away, the Sheriff\u2019s Office said in a Facebook post.\nArrested were Christopher W. Ludlow, 27, of Sacramento, Christoper T. Peterson, 30, of Davis, and Michael King, 29, of South Lake Tahoe, the Sheriff\u2019s Office said.",

        "title": "Comedy Of Chicago: Fuck You Pay Me",
        "raw_content": "Being new-ish to stand-up, I try to take every opportunity and job I have been offered. Payment is sparse in stand-up, if I\u2019m lucky I\u2019ll get a drink ticket, audience donations, a hug, anything- I\u2019ll take it. Nonetheless, being a broke college student doesn\u2019t help in this whole \u2018following my dreams\u2019 thing. My wallet is so thin my ventra pass swipes before I even get to the turnstile. So, when I was offered a hosting gig that paid $100 a night plus free drinks I obviously said yes and then called my mom to tell her I had made it.\nIt wasn\u2019t even comedy, it was hosting bingo, but I didn\u2019t care; I would host an eating competition at a bowling alley if it paid $100 a night. I went the first night and had a great time, it was essentially three hours of fucking with a drunk crowd who laughed at anything me or my co-host said. The following week when I arrived I met the owner. He was a stocky old guy who looked like an extra in Wolf of Wall Street. He handed my male co-host $100 cash, then he looked me up and down and promptly said, \u201cI hear you\u2019re OK with just drinking for free.\u201d\nMy initial reaction was a series of guttural noises while my face turned a deep shade of red like I was Violet Bearegarde turning into an angry blueberry in Charlie and The Chocolate Factory. I didn\u2019t say anything. I spent all week agonizing over it. My cohost told me it was paid? Should I have said something? Of course I should have. I didn\u2019t want to jump to conclusions, but all signs pointed in the direction that this was happening because I was a woman.\nYes, the comedy and entertainment community and industry is heavily male dominated. As a woman, it can be intimidating at times, but I have had an overall positive experience with the men around me. I have never been made to feel any less valuable or important, until this moment. After many pep talks in front of the mirror I was determined to confront him at my next shift. I was baffled at the anxiety I was feeling over confronting him. If it had been a friend experiencing this situation I would have told them to quit on the spot, demand payment and take a steaming shit in the middle of the establishment. I am a chronic advice giver who can\u2019t take her own.\nWhen I finally asked for payment the following week he asked me, \u201cWhy do you deserve to get paid?\u201d\n\u201cBecause everyone else is.\u201d Which I was only able to muster out in my Mom-who-takes-her-sons-adderall high pitched phone voice. \u2018Everyone\u2019 being three men. ` I half expected him to assign me a 500 word essay on why I deserved to be treated equally to \u2018the boys.\u2019 He agreed to pay me half of what they were getting, and promised the full payment if I was able to bring 5 people in. I was so overwhelmed I agreed, worked one more shift, and then quit.\nThe most concerning part of this situation for me was the amount of hesitation and guilt I felt for asking for the equal pay. There was a part of me that felt like maybe he was in the right and I was overreacting, and that is the biggest problem.\nIt is not surprising or new to experience misogyny or inequity to men in the entertainment industry, what is surprising is my inability to stick up for myself. Why? Maybe because society has ingrained in women that having a strong voice and standing up to \u201cThe Man,\u201d makes you bitchy and intimidating.\nEven though I eventually spoke my mind I was cautious and overly nice in my approach. I am disappointed in myself, but also feel liberated in the opportunity to learn how I should handle these real-life scenarios which I will inevitably experience again. I\u2019m not a \u2018cute girl\u2019 that is going to work for free drinks. I fart and have to pluck pubes out of my nipples, I am a woman who demands the respect of my peers and authority regardless of vulva.\nCarly Kane",

Following the field deployment, MTN is planning to test other 5G use cases.\nThe Ericsson 5G solution deployed operates on 28 GHz band with a total operating bandwidth of 100 MHz using Ericsson trial antenna integrated radio units and Intel\u00ae 5G Mobile Trial Platform providing Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) in the customer premises. Many of the Netstar employees can also connect to this trial 5G network through the different WiFi access points.\nGiovanni Chiarelli, CTIO MTN South Africa says: \u201cWe have been working in close partnership with Ericsson on 5G for tests in the lab, field trials, and now initial customer test deployment. Throughout this process, our customers and their service requirements are our top priority. Our aim is to build a network to cater for current and future required services.\"\nChiarelli noted that the current discussion regarding the imminent release of much-needed additional spectrum, should also include 5G spectrum in the primary 3.5 GHz band.\n\u201cICASA has a great opportunity to get South Africa on par and in some instances, ahead of the international game, by allocating 5G spectrum at the same time as the additional 4G spectrum. The additional 4G spectrum will extend high speed internet access to all South Africans and will help to further drive down the cost of communication. Access to 5G spectrum will see our nation able to actively participate on the cutting edge of the digital economy and we cannot afford to fall behind the 4th Industrial Revolution,\u201d he said.\nIn addition to facilitating the delivery of next-generation mobile broadband, cloud and providing support for massive Internet of Things (IoT) deployment, this collaboration will also enable new industry use cases thanks to increased throughput and reduced latency.\nRafiah Ibrahim, Head of Ericsson Middle East and Africa says: \u201c5G holds immense potential of opportunities, driving the industry\u2019s digitization and the pursue for innovation. Our collaboration with MTN South Africa will enable us to jointly develop 5G use cases based on real business needs that will support MTN to meet their future business requirements.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Florida Doctors Create Surgery Tool Prototype after Dangers Alleged in Power Morcellator Lawsuit Filings\nTwo medical professors in Florida are taking matters into their own hands after an U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warning about safety issues now alleged in power morcellator lawsuit claims, TampaBay.com reports. They are creating a prototype for a safer, cheaper device to be used in minimally-invasive laparoscopic hysterectomy and fibroid removal surgeries.\nA report on June 7th indicates that the Tampa surgeons, who both hail from the University of South Florida, are creating a surgical tool they say is safer than a power morcellator, which can allegedly promote the spread of certain undetected uterine cancers. Not unlike the morcellator, the chief of urogynecology at USF and Tampa General says the new device shreds tissue so it can be more easily removed through tiny incisions made in surgery, but contains the tissue rather than allowing it to spread into other parts of the uterus.\n\u201cWe think it\u2019s huge,\u201d he said, nearly two months after the FDA issued a public health alert on April 17th, 2014 that advised doctors against using the devices in gynecological procedures.\nFlorida Hospitals Halt Power Morcellator Use after FDA Warning\nFollowing this warning, Tampa General Hospital, BayCare Health System and the Florida Hospital system has suspended use of a morcellator, given its alleged potential to spread uterine sarcoma within a woman\u2019s body and decrease her long-term chances of survival. A number of local hospitals in the area owned by Community Health Systems have also stopped using them, TampaBay.com reports.\nPower morcellators are manufactured by such companies as the Johnson & Johnson subsidiary, Ethicon, Inc., who since halted sales of their devices pending further information from the FDA.\nThe TampaBay.com article indicates that hysterectomies are one of the most common procedures in the U.S., amounting to approximately 600,000 procedures a year. According to the American Congress of Obstetrics and Gynecologists, between 40 and 49 percent of women choose to have laparoscopic surgery each year, with approximately 55,000 using a morcellator.\nAccording to the FDA warning in April, 1 in every 350 women have uterine sarcoma, an aggressive and often undetected form of uterine cancer.\nContact an Attorney to Learn More about Power Morcellator Lawsuits\nContact the lawyers at Bernstein Liebhard LLP to find out whether you may be eligible to file a power morcellator lawsuit.

David Burliuk is unique because not only is he the \"Father\" of Russian futurism but he left Russia and spent 2 years in Japan up until 1922 before finally emigrating to America where he lived for the rest of his life with his family.\nAt the end of the film there was a long question and answer session about the film and about our journey to the island of Ogasawara, also known as the Bonin Islands,where we filmed. Burliuk spent several months on the islands during his stay in Japan. There is a book I wrote about our visit and the islands themselves - Journey to Ogasawara.\nThe film was warmly received and there was strong interest in the other films in the series about the Russian Avant-garde as well as requests for an updated Russian translation of the book Journey to Ogasawara.",

        "raw_content": "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer (\u2666\u2666\u2666\u00bd)\nOskar Schell is a precocious nine year-old who lost his father on the World Trade Center on September 11. A year or so into the death of his father, Oskar finds a mysterious key inside a vase on top of his father\u2019s closet, along with an envelope on which the word Black is written. That leads Oskar to start a hunt around New York City\u2019s five buroughs looking for the lock the key opens, whose owner may tell him more about his father and how he died.\nExtremely Loud and Incredibly Close came to my attention via a coworker. She spoke excitedly about it, so I thought I should read it. I started reading it years ago and abandoned it about page 50. But since the previous book I was reading this time around wasn't grabbing my attention, I took a look at my book shelves and decided to give this one another try.\nThe only element that made me keep reading was Oskar and how authentic his voice felt throughout the novel. I had an extremely hard time reading the first 200 pages for several reasons: 1) I find hard to feel sorry for a character who was already dead when the book started; 2) I don't like when the author has the upper hand in the unfolding of the story (i.e., a mysterious character whose identity isn't revealed until further on); 3) the book structure is far from conventional--that chaotic structure is more associated with thought patterns, and I don't like books narrated in the way I think.\nHowever, as the novel reached page 208, I finally turned around and Safran Foer won me over. I loved the passage about New York City's Sixth Burough, narrated by Thomas Schell (Oskar's dad). I found very realistic the chapters about the bombardment of Dresden in WWII, and the endless loop in the news on September 11, 2001, about the Twin Towers on fire, people waving banners from the upper floors, and the buildings collapsing. I thought Safran Foer brought the story home by using repetitive phrases to depict an endless loop of news on cable television; the picture was very vivid.\nAlthough I considered Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close an uneven novel, it had laugh out loud moments, and the events on the Blackest Tuesday in history were approached with tenderness and raw vulnerability.\nDefining quote:\n\u201c\u2026When you fell asleep with your head on my lap, I turned on the television.\nI lowered the volume until it was silent.\nThe same pictures over and over.\nPlanes going into buildings.\nBodies falling.\nPeople waving shirts out of high windows.\nPeople covered in gray dust.\nBuildings falling.\nSometimes I felt your eyelids flickering. Were you awake? Or dreaming?\u201d Page 230\nHave you read this novel? Do you agree or disagree with my assessment? Did you like it? Do you think there's a way that it could have been better?\nbooks reviews contemporary fiction Jonathan Safran Foer\nI read this book quite a long time ago (2006, my reading log tells me) and I loved it unconditionally. Not one thing about it bothered me and Oskar's precociousness excited me. But it is also one of the saddest books, especially for poor Oskar's mother. I loved the way she kept track of him without him knowing it. I wish the author would write more novels. This was his first and he showed much promise. My review (don't remember why it was so short) http://keepthewisdom.blogspot.com/2006/08/extremely-loud-and-incredibly-close.html\nI'm glad you liked it, Judy. Maybe I wasn't in the right frame of mind to be particularly receptive, but as you read there were several things that bothered me. Oskar wasn't one of them; I thought he was hilarious and it broke my heart how sad he was for the death of his father.\nSafran Foer has one other novel titled Everything Is Illuminated, which was his debut as a novelist.\nI think you have hit on something. One does have to be in the right frame of mind for certain books, especially those with unconventional structure. I'm one of those readers who rarely gives up on a book, even if I can't really \"get into it\" at first, but the ones where I've been tempted have been those that tell their stories in a chaotic and seemingly unfocused way. I haven't read this book, but maybe I should give it a try.\nI think you should give it a try and see for yourself. Most people like it, I think, but I wasn't a fan of the structure. I ended up liking it though, but it was thanks to the story; that weird structure never grew on me.\nI read this one years ago and was so \"meh\" about it....then, when I became a blogger, it popped up all the time in discussions as a beloved book. And, I always wondered what I missed when I read it. Maybe I didn't miss anything...\nI know exactly what you mean, except that I heard of the hype before I read the book; I guess I was expecting fireworks. Apparently it was named Best Book of the Year by several publications in 2005, so I wasn't wrong in expecting to be blown away.\nI saw the movie of this but didn't read the book. I remember liking the movie but now I can't recall it too much other than it was sad in parts.\nI definitely want to watch the movie to compare since the book didn't have all the elements that would have made me really like it.\nRhiannon Johnson December 15, 2015 at 1:43 PM\nI listened to this on audiobook several years ago and remember thinking the movie was great. Very rarely do I enjoy a movie version of a book!\nI tend to watch the movies rather than read the novels they are based on; that's the case because I didn't know most of those movies were based on books.\nI want to watch this movie version to see if I like it better than the book. For me the novel was so meh.",

        "raw_content": "Location: Home \u203a Music Articles \u203a Five Dollar Soul: Irish alternative band breaking through on the mainland\nFive Dollar Soul\nOne of the best independent singles of recent times is \"Burn The Flag\" by Five Dollar Soul. I met up with the band's lead singer Ross at Greenbelt 2002 and we spoke at length about rock music and his Christian faith.\nTony: Give me a history of Five Dollar Soul.\n\"We had all met at different times before, at various kinds of stages of other bands and band development. I was playing in another band a few years ago. We had all kind of met at various events and we had all played at the same sort of events, at a place called Exodus, which is in Portstewart. Exodus is basically a Christian night base which was established to give young people somewhere to go and hang out in a safe and Christian environment. It is very, very pro-Christian and so the people there gave us lots of chances to play and gradually we kind of met each other and our bands, except the band Errin was playing in. I was playing in a band called Raccoon and I was singing and playing guitar. I felt the name Raccoon was an appropriate name - the raccoon is an animal which spends most of its day eating and sleeping - so I thought it was really apt! Matthew and Andrew were playing in a band called Jester. I think there is actually another band called Jester but they didn't know that at the time and there wasn't going to be any big lawsuits or anything! Matthew was singing and playing guitar and writing the songs. Andrew also played guitar and Errin was playing in another band called Joshua's Promise.\n\"We all kind of supported and played with each other and then really, all those bands began to fizzle out - as bands are want to do. I was doing a lot of stuff on my own, like really acoustic based stuff, and that has its place but you begin to yearn for a bit of electric guitar to make some noise. Every boy has this dream of playing a loud guitar and smashing it up on stage - but I have only got one guitar - so that would be fairly fruitless! So I was asked to play at a Christian Union event in Scotland, at the university and I didn't want to do it by myself so I asked Matthew and Andrew if they wanted to come and play. Conveniently, if there is such a thing in the Christian faith, they were studying at Perth, which is fairly near to Dundee, where I was studying, and they said they lived with Errin who played drums so they asked him too. Real clich\u00e9 the way it really all came together. So we played at this event and really enjoyed it.\"\nTony: Did you have the name Five Dollar Soul from the beginning?\n\"Yes. I was reading a magazine and noticed the name of an album called 'Three Dollar Guitar' which I thought was a really nice name and decided to move the words around a little. So for some kind of reason the words Five Dollar Soul came into my head and it seemed to me as if that was purely accidental but the more I thought about it the more kind of resonances it had. Also there was the idea of soul music. I mean, we don't play soul music but it is just a nice word; then how much is your soul worth? Then I remembered an episode of The Simpsons in which Bart sells his soul for five dollars to his friend Millhouse. So all these kinds of resonances and repercussions and echoes began to come forth and I really liked the name and it just kind of stuck.\"\nTony: When did you play your first gig?\n\"We played our first gig at Dundee University Christian Union in October 2000 and it was fairly kind of ramshackle and rough, but I just really enjoyed it and we all got on as friends. Before we played the gig we thought it would be nice to go and pray together and it was just really comfortable. There was a sense of fellowship and unity and real enjoyment and closeness and I just thought, you know, this is really good, this is what I have been looking for. Matthew always had this idea that we would do this more than once. He is a great man for making plans and for laying out kind of future guidelines and he said if this goes well then we would keep on going. We all really enjoyed it and then closely after that we were offered to play in Sterling at Matthew's girlfriend's Christian Union, so that gave us something else to look forward to doing and then we had a chance to do a recording.\"\nTony: What recording was that?\n\"Our first recording didn't have a specific title. We did 100 copies and made the covers ourselves. We got sleeves and like in primary school or Blue Peter or something, we cut a '5' out of a sponge and put on red paint and printed it on the cover. I liked it because it gave it a kind of personal feel, a handmade quality, but I suppose you could also say it looked kind of rubbish! It served a purpose though. We played a gig when we came home at Christmas and we gave it out to people there. About 50-70 people all got one and so that was good. I was pleased with our first recording but to be honest I was very pleased just to have anything! The idea of having your own CD - all wee boys dream of that - although I suppose I am not a wee boy anymore! I am the kind of father of the band - not literally I mean! The rest of them are quite young. Errin is about 20 and Matthew and Andrew are about 22/23 and I am 27. I kind of feel that those years of experience have given me plenty of angst to write about! Then shortly after that we did a second recording; this had all the songs from the first CD but included four new songs. Again we didn't have a title for this one either but we were feeling our way in the dark. I knew nothing about making records.\"\nTony: You finally got to make a CD with a title! Tell me about the \"Burn The Flag\" single.\n\"We have been so blessed with that because so many people have helped us to make 'Burn The Flag' a more professional product. My brother had come back with his wife from America. He was at Harvard University and had taken lots of photographs and we were recording our CD at Upstream Studios in Coleraine. Matthew and Andrew had both worked there as sound engineers. We wanted to take a bit more time with this recording and make it more professional, for use of a better word. So we were only going to do three songs and we thought about them before we went into the studio. We did a new song called 'Burn The Flag' and were a bit worried about the title at first. People ask if this is a political song but it isn't at all. It has absolutely nothing to do with politics. It is kind of a really angry song. I was worried when I wrote it but I think that songs that come out of genuine emotion are really important. I was really angry when I wrote it and I don't get angry very often so it was a new kind of vein that I was into. In America especially, flag burning, burning the 'stars and stripes' is a really rebellious thing to do and you can get thrown into jail for it. The chorus talks about turning the flag upside down and that is a sign of defeat in battle. It means that the castle has fallen and that you are surrendering. I personally believe that defeat can be a real good thing - admitting defeat and admitting that you cannot do it by yourself. This is a really important part of the Christian faith. I had some bad experiences with other kinds of Christian groups which left me really hurt and angry; that is really what the song is about. It has lyrics which say 'they are putting up banners declaring God's love, I am breaking my back bone trying to keep up.' It is about my anger towards those who pervert the Gospel. I guess it is a rather controversial song about the perversion of the Gospel but we do not intend it to be. We are just trying to be honest and say, look, something has gone wrong here. A lot of our new songs especially are about failure and admitting that you cannot do things without God and that we are fragile and frangible human beings - that is a really important thing. It is a really cathartic thing and an essential part of the Christian walk.\"\nTony: You clearly seem to want to get away from shallow, evangelical sloganeering.\n\"I am just really wary of empty experiences. I saw Bill Mallonee play yesterday and the absolute profundity of his lyrics and song writing are just amazing. He never sings really obvious things about Jesus, for instance 'Jesus loves me' - and there is a place for that obviously, but just his lyrics and song writing are so deep - it totally blew me away! I also saw Lies Damned Lies play last night and they have some great songs. Again, they are asking questions and I am really drawn to people who are asking questions. I bang on about this a lot of the time but I think Radiohead are an important band. They are not a Christian band by any means but I do not think that means they cannot ask spiritual questions.\"\nFive Dollar Soul artist profile\nBand Five Dollar Soul are to release a single entitled \"Burn The Flag\"\nSuperchic[k]: Pop-Punk, Hip-Hop, Disco-Funk\nChicago's SUPERCHIC[K] may make catchy teen pop but there is a serious message of sexual purity in\nFor more on Five Dollar Soul visit the Five Dollar Soul artist profile",

(Idaho), B-Boy For Christ (Illinois), and Geddenon (Oklahoma) put a years worth of work into finishing this project which has featured great reviews from around the country. Our last single \"Crew\" is currently on FM radio rotation in 10 states and in 3 different countries and that is just what has been reported back to us. As a small independent label, we are blown away and amazed by what God is doing with us and this album, and we appreciate all of your support.\nWhich brings us to our latest radio single, \"The Kingdom\". This track is a warning shot meant to bring attention to the fact that we are living in the end times. Every day we see something in our news programs, our children bring back new wild ideas that they are taught in public schools, new laws are passed and violence and disorder gets more and more rapid in America. Not only that but we see the birth pains overseas in the middle east, political unrest in Europe and strange natural disasters all around the globe. These are all signs of our king Jesus' triumphant return. As the days get harder to live, our Jesus is drawing nearer and nearer. The Kingdom is Near.",

        "raw_content": "Sharecropper's Recompense:\nCopyright \u00a9 1940 Lewis Allen\nStrange fruit began as a poem written by a Abel Meeropol, a Jewish New York City schoolteacher who wrote under the pseudonym Lewis Allen. Being quite disturbed by the photographs of black men lynched in the south, he penned this hunting poem as his protest response to the horrible scene in the photograph.\nIn this painting, I try to depict the cause of lynching in the south by depicting the chief practitioners of this barbaric and evil deed and the major reason for it. There is the body of the lynched man hanging in the moonlight. Below is the grave that he dug with a shovel next to it. His dog stands lamenting by the side of the grave, while on the hill stands his shotgun house which stands on the land that he purchased to satisfy the dream of the forty acres and the mule that he did not receive as promissed. His recognition of the value of land and real estate, cost him dearly.\nRacism is a violent form of economic disenfranchisement. Hatred is generated as was done in Rosewood, Florida and in Black Wall Street in Oklahoma in the earlier part of the 20th century. The same type of economic disenfranchisement was the root cause of the Chicago riots. If the blackman were to acquire wealth, it would elevate his socio-economic status, which would be a threat to the social standing of some less progressive of a different racial persuasion. Hence, it was necessary to find cause to hinder that progress and this usually ended in his demise.\n*GO TOFlight of Harriett\n*GO TOMyth of Discovery",

        "title": "DDR Freak - God of Cookery's Performance Guide",
        "raw_content": "God of Cookery's Performance Guide\nby step to my lou // RTF, 6 December 00\nThough there are a lot of great technical aspects in playing Dance Dance Revolution, one of the things that makes the game really fun is the chance to actually dance along with the game, and adding some style through moves and tricks. This is what many people consider freestyling. When it comes to freestyling, there are a lot of different ways to approach it. Some people concentrate on stuntwork (A-Team), while others go for crowd pleasing comedy routines (Nakano) or a fluid dance style (Brilliant Steppers). However, the best thing to do isn't to copy others, but to find a style of your own. If you're trying to do things that you might think are cool, despite the fact that they don't fit your own personal style, the moves will look forced. Finding a style of your own, or a style that fits you, is the key to becoming a good freestyle player.\nNow, a large part of freestyling comes from fancy footwork. After all, the game is played with your feet. But slides and shimmies aside, don't forget about the upper body. When both the upper and lower body are working together, a simple leg move can look many times more impressive. This can be as simple as moving your arms along with the beat, instead of keeping them stationary. However, it can also be taken much further, with full arm and hand routines.\nWatch a lot of the \"pop\" music videos which can be found on MTV or whatnot these days. A lot of the dancing in these music videos has very simple leg work, but the dancing looks very good because of a good amount of handwork is thrown in. N'SYNC's music videos are good examples of this. Other great dance moves can be seen in Janet Jackson, Christina Aguilera, and Alliyah videos.\nAnother important thing to freestyling is DON'T BE EMBARASSED. Remember, no matter how good you are a freestyler, if you're always worried about how you look, you'll never have fun, and the point of any game is to have fun. Second, by loosening up, your moves will look more coherent and fluid. It's understandable to be a bit nervous playing the games at times, especially in times of DDR tournaments and such. Just take a deep breath, calm down, and remember, you're supposed to be having fun. :)\nNow, here are a few tips that will hopefully get the ball rolling. Remember, anything goes when it comes to freestyling, so you are not limited to the moves below. These are just a few examples of what can be done while freestyling.\nKnee/Hand/_____ Drop: The great thing about hitting the arrows is that you can hit them with anything you can think of, such as a knee, hand, elbow, head, or even your behind. Sometimes, combinations of this can make for really interesting looking moves as well. For example, if you have a set of arrows all going in the same direction (i.e. up, up, up, up), try hitting them with your knee, left hand, right hand, and then your foot as you get up. It makes for an interesting little freestyle move.\nShimmy: This is a good technique that can be done in places where two arrows (i.e. left and right, up and down) have to be hit at once. Instead of jumping to hit both both arrows, then jumping again, simply slide your legs out from the center to hit the two arrows, and slide them back in before you slide out to hit the next two.\nHeel-toe: is a very easy maneuver which can add a little flair to your moves, especially during steps in which you must tap down on the arrow two times fast. simply hit the arrow with your toes, then again with the heel. It looks a lot better than just stomping on the arrow twice.\nThis is just the beginning. Keep playing, and the possibilities are endless. If there is anything that shouldn't be done during freestyle, it would be grabbing the bar. It looks incredibly bad if you have to grab onto the bar every so often during your freestyle. It's put there just in case you might slip or lose your balance, not for someone to grab onto at all times. Keep in mind this is Dance Dance Revolution, and when most people dance, they don't need a bar to hold onto.\nThe most important thing is to have fun though, so no matter how you do, just try to have a good time, and smile!",

She was one of 5 ruby eyed whites at the pet store, but somehow I managed to find the perfect one.\nShe was the proud mama of my five other ratties, and when Phillip died she was the one who cuddled with me on the couch and snuggled into my hoodie sleeves. M dainty little Ruby never left her cage to play without licking my fingers first. She took treats as delicately as a Southern belle. When we brought home our newest baby, Leiland, and he was having trouble adjusting to the other boys, we let him play with Ruby. She was 2.5 years old, and too old to have babies, but she immediately took him in as her own.\nAround this same time, she developed a mammary tumor, which over the course of several months grew to the size of a golf ball. She went blind, and then deaf, and started to have moments where she forgot where she was or who was touching her. I held off on putting her to sleep. She seemed to be okay still; she just needed a little help. Her last few days she could barely move. We sat together all day on the couch. The last movie we ever watched together was Charlotte's Web. And then the next morning I woke up and the light in her eyes was gone. Her body was still alive, but what made my Ruby who she was was gone. So we cuddled on the couch together one last time, and when she began to convulse I knew it was time. I put her to sleep myself.\nI still have a piece of her, all of her babies who are still happy and healthy, but no one could ever replace her. She held a special place in my heart I can't imagine ever being filled again.",

Obama thinks Hispanics come before you.\nYou will get what you voted for: CHANGE, what a shame, I wanted to restore the jobs for all Americans, doing the jobs \u201cYOU CAN DO\u201d. NO AMNESTY\u2019S.\nWe/you are being destroyed. We must return manufacturing to America.\nDisaster time if we don\u2019t!\nWhile I\u2019m concerned about that 30 Million, I\u2019m also concerned about even ONE citizen that is out of work. Every single waitress, every single barber; every citizen that loses his or her job; hurts.\nThe Dakota restaurant in Elkhart, IN with maybe 6 employees, closing because the workers at the nearby RV factories have been laid off, and can\u2019t afford to eat out anymore. The cooks, and waitress\u2018s just as desperate, as thousands laid off from another large factory.\nUnemployed is \u201cunemployed\u201d, no matter who you are, or how it happens.\nI\u2019ll tell you what happens when honest citizens are unemployed; out of money, they will try to survive by committing what we call CRIME.\nTrying to get money to eat or survive.\nA bad check for food = 2 years in jail\nAmericans we must stop this. President Obama has been placed in office (illegally) If he doesn\u2019t work quickly, we are in major trouble.\nMany politicians and correspondents tell us, it\u2019s going to get worse before it gets better, are you ready for WORSE?\nThe end of January 2009, more disaster in the job market. An estimated 27,000 Retail business closures; expected in early 2009, and this will continue into 2010.\nHow many of the unemployed lost their homes, and Health Insurance when they were laid off? Where and how are these people surviving?\nThere are communities such as Elkhart, IN, and Manteca, CA where the unemployment rate is up to 40%.\nIf the auto plants (actually in many American towns) are closed we will have unemployment in the 20% rate within 3 months, as other collateral businesses in those communities close, because they lose sales to those out of work. Workers will be unable to pay their rent or home payments, so, more homes in foreclosure.\nWe are being told this should only last 18 months, isn\u2019t that great! You will be employed, and not living under the local bridge anymore. Don\u2019t hold your breath.\nI do not see any recovery, until we return manufacturing to America, and do it now.\nYou are going to see a huge increase in crime, as Americans try to get money to survive, to feed their children.\nRemember the crime waves in the 1930\u2019s?\nGet ready for more: \u201cIt\u2019s called the will to survive\u201d.\nMaybe the local bank will loan you money to live on for 18 months, at 28% interest (and your right arm) of course.\nReview what happened in Flint, MI when GM closed the Buick plant, and tore down the building.\nThe last I heard; Buick\u2019s are now made in Brazil, by Brazilians.\nIf we keep Obama as our president, I don\u2019t see any recovery for America.\nObama has been selected as the fall guy, to be blamed for the failure.\nThis is an extreme tragedy, and we just can\u2019t allow this to happen.\nThe One World Government planners didn\u2019t win out in 1931, they tried to convince Americans that Communism, Fascism, or Socialism plans were the best for our future.\nWe didn\u2019t cave in then, will we now?\nAt least 30 million involved in the auto industry represent 10% of the United States population. Americans we are in trouble.\n12,000 40\u201d long containers of cargo arrive daily at our shores in California containing products Americans should be manufacturing.\n1.3 million foreclosed homes of people who had good credit,\nbut now losing everything, and this is going to get worse.\nPeople are out of work.\nBy November 08, 10% of all mortgages in America were at least 3 months late or already in foreclosure.\n40% of home foreclosures are Single mother households.\nI can\u2019t let that continue, can you?\nWhere are these unemployed Americans, and families if they have any? How do they survive?\nHow are they eating and feeding their children?\nAre you one of those 30 Million plus? Join me is some way to rescue our nation from this financial destruction, before they turn us over to the United Nations.\nI assume that the unemployed no longer have Internet access to get my message, let them know;\nOur nation is in the final stage of being destroyed, and we will be led to remove our sovereignty, to join with Canada, and Mexico as one nation, THE NORTH AMERICAN UNION. Innocently called the North American community. Supposedly now to protect all 3 nations from further invasion, (but of course they will tell you we really should include all the Central American nations). That\u2019s next. The \u201cNew World Order\u201d.\nLet me explain why governments have led China to find Consumerism.\nWhen China is offered to join in One World Government, their economical needs will lead them to follow as one of the rich \u201cNew World\u201d leaders.\nThen, because your government has been pushing World Ecology, (Call that: Global Warming)\nwe should let the New World Order run our courts to protect the world from us, as they want to do, under the guise of Environmental protection of the world?\nThere is more information in this website to show you proof of what is happening.\nThe SENATE says that: If they bailed out the Auto Industry the failure and downsizing of other businesses, will demand (riot) to be saved, well why not? Now General Motors claim they need and additional $40 Billion, and still plan to lay off 400,000 employees. Executive pay must be upheld to keep their appearance in the community, and pay the help at home.\nSO! What\u2019s wrong with that? Rightfully so, the failures are the results of \u201cLets ship manufacturing out of the UNITED STATES to help the poor of the world earn an income\u201d, \u201clets drag the UNITED STATES down to THIRD WORLD STATUS\u201d.\nYOU have been sold (screwed), lock, stock, and barrel. I\u2019ve been telling Americans for the last 8 years, that our government has been selling America, since the United Nations was formed in 1945.\nFisher Price Toys and Mattel Toys are you listening? Make it in America.\nThis situation is going to get worse. Are you MAD yet?\nI want you to know right now, our government and the corporate big wigs of the world have planned this ending of our nation for 66 years.\nThe end of WW II started the plan to build the European Union, which these powers have finally achieved.\nRemember, laid off Americans:\nCan\u2019t afford to pay their bills,\nCan\u2019t buy products from your business,\nCan\u2019t pay taxes to continue the income needed by our governments to run the nation.\nCan\u2019t feed themselves or family, or survive.\nCongress and the Senate want autoworkers to take a $20/hr pay cut.\nWhat bothers me is how many Americans earn less than $20/hr to begin with?\nDo you earn less than $20/hr.? Will Congress and the Senate work for less than $20/hr?\nLess than the amount of pay-cut the Unionized workers won\u2019t settle for!\nThere needs to be a re-evaluation of wages paid to all Americans, before our nation quits completely.\nToo many Americans are trying to survive on minimum wage, and that does not support a family.\nWhy pay Americans, when you can get Illegal Aliens to work for half pay, especially when the employer also does not pay unemployment tax, Social Security, medical care, and other expenses of hiring real Americans.\nInflation the last 30 year is killing our economy.\nWe\u2019ve always had inflation, always will, but how much, and why?

        "raw_content": "The Down Syndrome Research and Treatment Foundation Changes Its Name to Celebrate Its First Decade of Breakthroughs\nIn conjunction with its tenth anniversary, the Down Syndrome Research and Treatment Foundation (DSRTF), the nation\u2019s leader in accelerating research towards improving learning, memory, and speech for people with Down syndrome, announces its new identity as the LuMind Foundation, and celebrates World Down Syndrome Day with a match: donations will earn 3:1 on March 21.\nTo reflect the awareness and focus DSRTF has brought to the field of Ds cognition research, the organization will now be known as the LuMind Foundation. The name has its origin in the words lumen, a measure of light, and mind. \u201cWe\u2019re proud to be shining light on the powerful potential of cognition research,\u201d says Carolyn Cronin, Executive Director of the LuMind Foundation, contextualizing the new name. \u201cOur continuing mission is to make a brighter future possible for people with Ds, to enhance their learning, and to delay or halt the cognitive decline they experience at an earlier age \u2014 in a word, to illuminate. We\u2019re excited to move forward with an identity that underscores our values.\u201d\nSince its founding in 2004, the LuMind Foundation has led efforts to develop treatments to enhance cognition for children and adults with Ds, generating nearly $10 million to support research projects that aim to identify treatments to improve learning, memory, and speech and forestall the early onset of Alzheimer\u2019s disease that many people with Ds experience.\nFrom the time of its inception, when people still believed Ds was too complicated a condition to treat, the LuMind Foundation has been instrumental in stimulating engagement and progress, resulting in a dramatic increase in the number of researchers working in the field and the initiation of groundbreaking clinical trials for potential treatments. Researchers call these results unprecedented. \u201cThe advances in just the last five years are truly amazing,\u201d says Dr. Roger Reeves, a pioneering Down syndrome researcher at Johns Hopkins Medicine, and cites the LuMind Foundation as \u201ca game-changer\u201d for cognition research.\n\u201cProgress has been truly remarkable over the past few years. The field has moved more rapidly than virtually anything I have ever been involved with,\u201d agrees Dr. Michael Harpold, the organization\u2019s Chief Scientific Officer. \u201cIn the span of a single decade, researchers have made great strides towards identifying the mechanisms associated with intellectual disability in people with Ds, understanding the links between Down syndrome and Alzheimer\u2019s disease, and finding possible pathways for treatment.\u201d Researchers agree that the foundation\u2019s work has been instrumental in speeding these advances: \u201cThe LuMind Foundation has had an impact out of proportion to its size in the past several years,\u201d says Dr. Reeves.\nAs part of the global celebration of World Down Syndrome Day, the LuMind Foundation announces that donations on Friday, March 21, 2014 will earn 3:1. \u201cFor the third year running, we\u2019re maximizing the impact of our supporters\u2019 contributions,\u201d says Sarah Wernikoff, chair of the LuMind Foundation\u2019s board and parent of a child with Down syndrome. \u201cGrassroots support of research is essential to its success. Our World Down Syndrome Day matching program gives people a strong incentive to show their commitment to the urgent work we fund. We thank all our friends and supporters for their confidence in this research, and for their investment in a future of greater opportunity and independence for people with Ds.\u201d\nAbout the LuMind Foundation\nThe LuMind Foundation, formerly the Down Syndrome Research and Treatment Foundation (DSRTF), is a national non-profit organization headquartered in Marlborough, Massachusetts, aimed at accelerating the development of treatments to significantly improve cognition, including memory, learning and speech, for individuals with Down syndrome. LuMind funds research at major research centers, including Johns Hopkins Medicine, Stanford University, University of California, San Diego, and University of Arizona. Since its founding in 2004, the LuMind Foundation has committed more than $9 million to fund results-driven research programs that will benefit children and adults with Down syndrome, and has been instrumental in the initiation of clinical trials now underway.\nLabels: Down syndrome, DSRTF, LuMind Foundation, name, Research",

The production team has put together a special video showing the young cast of actors in serious work mode when the cameras were on, but also a playful and energetic bunch when they're with each other (there's a lot of jumping around and martial arts stunts courtesy of Huang Zitao).\nA look behind-the-scenes has Huang Zitao, Janice Wu, Niu Jun Feng and Cao Yuexi gathered around for a picture while they were in Mexico. It seriously seems like they're vacationing rather than working, and I hope the chemistry translates onto the small screen because I'm looking forward to this drama in 2018. It's supposed to be about reaching for your dreams and music, and I hope that it does turn out to be a fun and inspiring ride.\nLabels: Cao Xi Yue , Drama and Movie News , Filming and Presscons , Huang Zitao , Janice Wu , Niu Jun Feng , The Brightest Star in the Night Sky\nCan't wait for this show!!

        "title": "The Spider and the Fly | Don't read this to my kids",
        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb The Spider and the Fly\nIt's a strange book. The poem, \"The Spider and the Fly\" was written in the 1800s, and this is a modern illustration of that poem. Although the cover says that it's \"based on\" that poem, I don't believe DiTerlizzi changed any of it.\nPersonally, I'm more familiar with \"The Lobster Quadrille\", also known as \"The Mock Turtle's Song\" from Lewis Carroll's \"Alice's Adventures in Wonderland\", which is a parody of \"The Spider and the Fly.\" (Pretty much every poem anyone recites in the Alice books are parodies of something, the originals having been somewhat forgotten by time.)\nMost of us, however, have probably heard the opening lines: \"'Will you walk into my parlor?' Said the Spider to the Fly.\" The story consists of a spider trying to coerce a fly into his house, but the fly keeps declining since she knows that anyone who goes into the spider's house doesn't come out again. Then the fly says, \"And bidding you good morning now, I'll call another day.\" But why is she even coming back? I don't know. Since the spider knows she's coming back, he makes a web, and then comes out and flatters her a whole lot, then she comes into his house and he catches and eats her. The end.\nIt's kind of cute that DiTerlizzi writes kind of an epilogue, saying, \"What did you expect from a story about a spider and a fly? Happily ever after? Spiders are trappers, for goodness' sake! We've been doing it for generations and we're quite good at it.\" And the last paragraph continues, \"So what does all this talk of spiders and traps have to do with you? Be warned, little dears, and know that spiders are not the only hunters and bugs are not the only victims. Take what has transpired within these pages to heart, or you might well find yourself trapped in some schemer's web.\"\nIt's a little bit repetitive, like most writing of its time. And it uses archaic language. \"For who goes up your winding stair can ne'er come down again.\" \"Will you please to take a slice?\" Just weird phrasing.\nThe illustrator has done his illustrations, as he says, based on Hollywood horror movies, and you can definitely see similarities to Addams Family characters and Lon Cheney. His work is pencil drawings on Bristol board reproduced in silver and black. The many ghost characters were done in graphite and then they used Photoshop to make them transparent, which is a cool combination of traditional and modern techniques to create a unique look.\nIt's a cautionary tale, but it's not overly preachy, which is surprising for something written that long ago. He's just very persistent, and the only time when it outright states the moral is the last two lines: \"Unto an evil counselor, close heart and ear and eye, and take a lesson from this tale, of the spider and the fly.\" Like the spider says, it's not a twist ending. Nowadays, we don't expect the endings of kids' stories to be quite as dark. Evil wins. One of the main characters is devoured by the other. In retrospect, horror is an obvious motif. DiTerlizzi's style in this book is very reminiscent of the 1920s and 30s. The fly, a female character, has a choker made of pearls, a very traditional symbol of elegance, with a pillbox hat and white gloves. She gasps into the back of her hand like an old movie star.\nThe spider actually has additional eyes on top of his head to make him both human-looking, but keep the number of total eyes at eight like a real spider. There are all these tiny details in the images like that, which make the book fascinating to look at. The creepiness is more quaint than disturbing, and probably wouldn't bother a child.\nThe biography of Mary Howitt, the author of the poem, at the end of the book is a nice touch. She was a very powerful author during her time (she passed away in 1888), especially for a woman, and had an impressive career.",

        "raw_content": "T.R. Uthco was a San Francisco-based multi-media performance art collective that engaged in satirical critiques of mass media images and cultural myths, using theatricality and spectacle as strategies. Founded in 1970, T.R. Uthco staged irreverent, fabricated events, and produced video documents of its performances. Interweaving reality and illusion, truth and artifice, they parodied pop iconography, political symbolism and cultural mythology.\nBringing complexity and sophistication to her deconstruction and appropriation of popular texts, Rea Tajiri decodes the images and soundtracks of Hollywood cinema and mass media as a strategy of cultural analysis. Fragmenting and rereading the vernacular of pop cultural narratives, she deciphers their embedded meanings to expose how history and memory are rewritten through media representation.\nJanice Tanaka's intricately textured video collages confront the autobiographical and the cultural. Merging social and political observations, philosophical inquiries and personal introspections, Tanaka's works use original footage, appropriated media images, and layered electronic processing. In recent works, she has extended these inquiries to the construction of Asian-American identity.\nRefracted through archival material, texts, found footage and dense soundtracks, Leslie Thornton's rigorously experimental film and video work is an investigation into the production of meaning through media. Her epic project Peggy and Fred in Hell is an ongoing cycle of interrelated films, videos and installation environments. Exploring the aesthetics of narrative form as well as the politics of the image, Thornton forges a unique and strangely beautiful syntax, one that poses its critique at the same time that it mesmerizes and confounds.\nFrancesc Torres' works question social orders based on political and economic power relations. Examining the machinery of war and violence within culture and history, he contemplates tensions between the persistence of time and the fragility of memory in politically charged spaces. From architectural ruins to media artifacts, he creates associations and metaphors to suggest larger cultural constructs.\nRyan Trecartin is one of the most innovative young artists working with video today. He was termed \"the most consequential artist to have emerged since the 1980s\" by The New Yorker. Trecartin's fantastical video narratives seem to be conjured from a fever dream. Collaborating with an ensemble cast of family and friends, Trecartin merges sophisticated digital manipulations with footage from the Internet and pop culture, animations, and wildly stylized sets and performances. Trecartin crafts startling visions that are thoroughly unique.\nWu Tsang is a filmmaker, visual artist, and performer who incorporates strategies of activism, art making, and stage production across a range of multi-disciplinary projects. While Tsang\u2019s work has a rich visual style, her attention to shifting identities, transitional spaces, and communities emphasizes contingent identifiers such as language, voice, and persona, prompting inquiries into how individuals and communities resist ingrained social prejudices. Using the frameworks of popular media forums such as cinema, television, theater and dance clubs, her work considers prescient debates about social gathering as a form of insurgency and the political capacity of contemporary art.\nAn artist working in print, performance, photography, and film, New York native Tommy Turner is considered a key figure of Downtown No Wave. In the mid-1980s, he directed arresting small gauge films that retain their ability to inspire shock, awe, and revulsion, while conveying a biting sense of humor and incisive social commentary. Turner's concise oeuvre encompasses black magic, domestic dysfunction, addiction, rock \u2018n\u2019 roll, demagoguery, murder, and wasted teenhood, often addressed through gleefully graphic, lo-fi special effects that swerve between clinical detachment and sardonic irreverence.\nAdopting the tongue-in-cheek appellation Top Value Television, the influential video collective TVTV defined the radical video documentary movement of the 1970s that is known as \"guerrilla television.\" TVTV subverted conventions of television news and documentary reportage with its alternative journalistic techniques, countercultural principles and pioneering use of portable, low-tech video equipment.",

Two of those said to have been executed are supposed to have been Senegalese.\nIn Gambia, capital punishment can be imposed for murder and treason. Three of the reportedly executed have been sentenced for treason.\n\u201cThe decision of the Gambian president Yahya Jammeh to execute nine prisoners after more than a quarter of a century without execution would be a giant leap backwards\u201d, said Paule Rigaud, Amnesty International\u2019s Africa deputy director.\n\u201cIf confirmed the reported executions are a hugely retrograde step \u2013 they would bring The Gambia back into the minority of countries which are still executing, and we are urging the authorities to immediately halt any further possible executions,\u201d said Rigaud.\nThe last execution in the country took place in 1985, 27 years ago. Amnesty had classified Gambia as abolitionist in practice, and therefore as one of the more than two thirds of states worldwide which have abolished the death penalty, either in law or practice.\nIn Africa, 22 of the 54 member states of the African Union are abolitionist in practice, and 16 are abolitionist in law for all crimes.\nOn both 19 and 20 August 2012, in a television address broadcast to mark the Muslim feast of Eid-al-Fitr, President Jammeh had announced to the nation that by the middle of September all existing death sentences would be \u201ccarried out to the letter\u201d.\nAccording to The Gambian government, there were 42 men and two women on death row as of 31 December 2011, 13 of whom had been sentenced during that year. This year, three men have reportedly also received the death sentence, making a total of 47 people currently on death row.\n\u201cPresident Jammeh should establish an immediate moratorium on the death penalty, in line with resolutions of the UN General Assembly and the African Commission on Human and Peoples\u2019 Rights,\u201d said Rigaud.\nAmnesty International opposes the death penalty in all cases as a violation of the right to life and the ultimate cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment.",

My courses are tailored to specific requirements and focus on helping those I work with pay attention to the present moment, their own thoughts and feelings.\nI previously worked in secondary education and became aware of the connection between emotional intelligence and learning. This motivated me to train to teach mindfulness to children and adults as I believe that emotional intelligence and mental health are closely related.\nMindfulness is a simple form of meditation that has been practiced in the East since ancient times. With a growing following across the globe, it typically entails focusing your full attention on your breath as it flows in and out of your body. This allows you to observe your thoughts as they arise in your mind and, little by little, to let go of your struggles with them. Mindfulness is all about being compassionate with yourself, allowing you to manage negative thought patterns before they escalate, helping you to be achieve long-term changes in mood, levels of happiness and overall wellbeing.\nWhat Mindfulness is not:\nIt is not a religion\nIt doesn\u2019t have to take hours of your time\nYou don\u2019t have to sit cross-legged on the floor (like pictures you may have seen), but you can if you want to\nPlease note that if you\u2019re recovering from a major crisis in your life, such as death, divorce or bereavement, or if you\u2019re in the midst of a depressive episode, then it might be better to wait before trying mindfulness.\nDecrease depressive symptoms\nImprove general health and wellbeing\nStart your mindfulness journey\nIn order to get the most from the programme you should also be prepared to undertake daily practice of around 20-40 minutes between the sessions. There\u2019s lots of scientific evidence about the benefits of mindfulness, but you have to practice it to make the difference!",

        "title": "Endometriosis - A Special Womens Health Feature | Health | Life Forums | March 2011 | emel - the muslim lifestyle magazine",
        "raw_content": "Endometriosis - A special womens health feature\nTwo million women in the UK suffer from this painful disease. Dr. Noreen A. Kassem explains endometriosis and provides herbal remedies to help combat the effects of the condition.\nEndometriosis is one of the main causes of infertility in women and affects almost 10 percent of women of childbearing age. This condition occurs when endometrial cells that line the inner walls of the uterus (womb) migrate or form in other areas of the body, mainly in the pelvis and abdominal cavity. These misplaced tissues, which are called implants, then respond to hormones just as the healthy womb does, causing swelling, inflammation and bleeding. However, unlike a regular monthly cycle, the bleeding cannot exit the body and may lead to painful lesions, scar tissue or adhesions and blood-filled cysts.\nThe cause of endometriosis is unknown and there is no cure for this condition. However, a weak immune system due to stress, smoking, low levels of physical exercise and poor nutrition may worsen symptoms. It is thought to even lead to the disease as a healthy immune system is better able to destroy and remove misplaced cells and imbalances in the body.\nThe exact causes of endometriosis are not known, however several factors may lead to this condition. These include:\nBeing overweight or obese, particularly during the late childhood years\nImbalanced functioning of the immune system, which can exacerbate symptoms\nSuffering from consistent stress\nRetrograde of backwards flow of blood through the fallopian tubes and into the pelvic cavity during the monthly cycle\nGenetic and hereditary factors; the risk of endometriosis is 10 times higher in women who have a first degree relative with the condition\nEndometrial cells that are abnormally present in the pelvic cavity\nEndometrial cells that travel through the blood vessels to the pelvic cavity\nA third of women with endometriosis do not have any symptoms and a survey in the UK showed that the average time for diagnosis even in women that have signs of the disease is eight years. Endometriosis can cause symptoms of varying degrees including pelvic pain and cramping, especially during the monthly cycle, heavy or irregular bleeding, bloating, nausea, pain during bladder and bowel function, infertility and miscarriage.\nA medical evaluation to diagnose endometriosis includes a health history, pelvic exam and lab tests. A woman\u2019s menstrual history and any gastrointestinal problems are important for diagnosis. A pelvic exam can help to determine the source of abnormal pain and cramping and a \u201cpain map\u201d helps to see the exact areas that are affected. Blood tests are largely used to rule out other health problems that can cause similar symptoms. Imaging scans such as ulrasound, x-ray and MRIs may be included in the physical exam. In some cases, a definitive diagnosis may be made with a laparoscopy, a surgical procedure in which a tiny fibre-optic camera is inserted into the abdomen through a small incision in or near the belly button.\nThe stages of endometriosis include certain factors such as number, size and site of the endometrial cell implants. It also varies depending on the amount of damage including adhesions and cysts and whether they affect other organs in the pelvis or abdomen. Stages are ranked as minimal (I), mild (II), moderate (III) and severe (IV). However, stages of endometriosis may not correspond to pain and other symptoms experienced. In some cases, even stage I endometriosis can cause severe pain, while in others, later stages may result only in minimal symptoms.\nThere is no cure for endometriosis and treatment options are designed to relieve symptoms, prevent damage to the body and treat infertility in some cases. Treatment varies depending on the severity of the condition and includes drug therapies, alternative therapies and surgical procedures. Common drug therapies for endometriosis are non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drugs, oral contraceptives and hormone suppressing drugs which stop ovulation during the monthly cycle of a female.\nSurgical procedures include laparoscopic laser techniques to help shrink lesions, decrease symptoms and improve fertility. A lapartomy is a more invasive surgery, in which a large incision is made in the abdomen and the endometrial implants are cut out by a laser or burned. A total hysterectomy, which is complete removal of the uterus and ovaries, is only recommended in very severe cases of endometriosis. However, even surgery does not guarantee a complete cure to all symptoms as some endometrial cells may still remain or grow in the body.\nExercise is also thought to help prevent endometriosis and reduce symptoms. Adequate physical activity and healthy nutrition help to balance hormone levels in the body. Other natural ways to balance hormones and increase the strength of the immune system include:\nEliminating any food allergens from the body including dairy, wheat (gluten), corn and soy\nEliminating and reducing foods that contain preservatives and additives\nAvoiding processed and refined foods such as baked deserts\nReducing saturated fats such as baked deserts, fried foods and margarine\nAvoiding smoking, shisha-smoking as well as second-hand smoke\nEating antioxidant-rich foods\nDrinking plenty of water everyday\nHerbal remedies may be used along with other treatments or alone in milder cases of endometriosis. Specific herbs recommended for endometriosis include Chasteberry (400 mg daily) for hormonal balance, Evening Primrose oil (500 to 1000 mg daily) for hormonal balance, green tea extract (250 to 500 mg daily) for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, Cat\u2019s claw (20 mg, three times daily) for inflammation and turmeric extract (300 mg, three times daily) to boost the immune system. Do not take herbal medications without the guidance of your doctor. These remedies are potent and can cause side effects.\nClick here to read more of our health features\nHonestly your individual content it's essentially excellent\nas well as I enjoy the theory.

        "raw_content": "Essentially England News - Of Castles, Wellington Boots and Mulled Wine Crumble\nOf Castles, Wellington Boots and Mulled Wine Crumble\nA Happy, Healthy, Successful 2017 to all of you! Many thanks for all the good wishes - we much appreciate them. And we're jumping right in today with a variation on a theme.\nFor most of last year I've been talking about the Norman invasion, about the efforts William the Conqueror made to take over England. So it's only fair if I look at the problem from the other side, and take you on a tour of the many castles that dot England's coast to protect it. And to begin with, we're going to Walmer Castle, because all that talk of invasion fleets and beach landings reminded me of a wonderful, though very wet, day we spent exploring castles in Kent.\nBack in the 12th century, the man charged with defending England's south coast was the Keeper of the Coast, a title that was later changed to the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports. Besides safeguarding the coast against enemy ships, the Lords Warden also collected taxes and dealt with local criminals. Since 1706, the Lord Warden's base has been at Walmer Castle - and it's one of those places where I desperately wished for a magic mirror.\nWilliam Pitt the Younger, the Duke of Wellington, W.H. Smith, Lord Curzon, Winston Churchill and Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother have all lived here or used Walmer as a base while carrying out their ceremonial duties as Lords Warden, and the castle is simply brimming with great stories.\nJust take William Pitt, consummate politician and England's youngest ever Prime Minister, who moved to Walmer after he had to sell his house to pay gambling debts. There are stories of him carousing with Admiral Lord Nelson until the early hours of the morning\u2026.and yes, I'd have loved to have been a fly on the wall. :-)\nMy favourite part, though, was the exhibition about Arthur Wellesley, the Duke of Wellington. He actually died at Walmer Castle and his coffin was kept at the castle while a state funeral was being arranged. His room, and many memorabilia of the man have found their way into the castle's collection.\nWalmer is a marvellous place with fascinating memories. Today it's a residence with a lovely garden, but in 1538 it would have been a state-of-the-art defensive work, brooding over England's shoreline. I'm sure Duke William would give thanks that costal defences weren't quite as developed when he made his bid for England.\nAnd as for Wellington's boots\u2026 there's a pair on display at the castle. And they're lovely. And tall. But they're definitely not the rainwear we're associating with that name. I wonder when that changed?\nPlanning your 2017 England holidays?\nCampsites, hotels, guest houses, cottages, holiday parks, bed & breakfasts\u2026 whatever your preferred comfort level and budget, there's accommodation to be found all around England. We love staying in holiday cottages for the privacy and home-from-home feeling they give us, but we've also camped, been looked after in many a good bed & breakfast and stayed in hotels.\nOver the years, we've stayed in an 800-year-old manor house, a restored windmill, a 18th century music room, a cottage that served as a film set, a boathouse, and even a Victorian travelling showman's wagon!\nWe've always showcased cottages on the site. Those we stayed in and those we liked the look of. We're hoping to do more of that, and add interesting hotels, too. We're affiliates for cottages.com, Sykes Cottages, TripAdvisor and LateRooms.com and we're aiming to show more of the beautiful places they have on their lists this year, along with featuring special offers and late availabilities that can help save you money. Please keep an eye on the blog for deals and offers.\nHere's what we already have on the site: cottages in Derbyshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Kent, Sussex, Shropshire, and a selection of Shropshire hotels.\nIf you're looking for a holiday cottage, please consider checking out Essentially England first! If we send visitors to the cottage companies or laterooms.com from our website, we're paid a commission on any bookings made and those really help us keep the site running.\nA Grown-up Winter Treat\nIf you're somewhere warm and sunny right now, then I hope you appreciate the lovely weather. It's not that I don't like winter. I do, actually, especially when the air is clear and crisp and the sun is shining. Snow is a bonus. I can enjoy a bright, cold day a whole lot. What I really dislike is the cold/damp/grey weather we get so much of at this time of year. When it's so dark that I have lights on at 10am and feel inclined to draw the curtains almost right after lunch. On such days, I want food that's warming and uplifting and here's one dish that fits the bill just perfectly. It's a crumble with added wow.\nCrumble is something I've learned from my husband, since we weren't much for warm puddings where I grew up. But since making the discovery I've fallen thoroughly in love with them. A crumble straight from the oven, all bubbling juice and hearty crunch, makes a fine end to a meal. Or\u2026and why not?\u2026 a meal in itself! Served with cream or custard, topped with oats and nuts, and made from any fruit that takes your fancy\u2026 crumble has to be a cook's favourite. It simply needs assembling, and then quite happily bakes away by itself.\nThis crumble is made with apples. And cranberries. And blueberries, but only because I had some. Most importantly, though\u2026 this crumble is made with mulled wine! And let me tell you\u2026 it works. You can use ready-prepared mulled wine or make your own. My favourite mulled wine mix is made up of one mug of very strong black tea, four mugs of wine, 2 slices of orange and one very large cinnamon stick with sugar added to taste.\nTo make the crumble set your oven to preheat to medium. Place 125g of dried cranberries in a saucepan and add 300ml of mulled wine - or wine and your favourite spices. Heat gently and let the cranberries plump up in the wine. Meanwhile peel, core and roughly chop four big Bramley cooking apples or any other apples you have handy. I like the Bramleys because they collapse quite a bit as they cook. Add 125g of fresh blueberries to the apples and mix gently.\nPour the wine and cranberries over the apples. Take out the cinnamon stick if you've used one, unless you're as mad keen on cinnamon as I am. Then you can leave it in while the crumble cooks and just take it out before you serve. If your apples are very sharp, you may want to add a little sugar.\nMake a crumble mix from equal parts cold butter, sugar, porridge oats and plain flour - I use 60g of each for my usual crumble dish - and spread over your apple and berry mix. Bake in a medium oven until the crust is golden showing the first flecks of bubbling juice.\nLeave to cool for just a few minutes and then serve with thick, cold cream. :-)\nThat's it from us for the moment! Don't miss next month's edition for the next castle and more lovely food!",

        "raw_content": "Home What's On Theatre & Dance The dark prince of experimental theatre\nThe dark prince of experimental theatre\nPhoto by Sonja \u017dugi\u0107\nRomeo Castellucci, the Italian dark prince of experimental theatre, is back in Berlin for Schaub\u00fchne\u2019s Festival of International New Drama (F.I.N.D.).\nInternationally renowned with his collective Soc\u00ecetas Raffaello Sanzio for intensely contemplative works like Inferno, Purgatorio, Paradiso (inspired by Dante\u2019s Divine Comedy) and On the Concept of the Face, Regarding the Son of God in which excrement soils the white stage, Romeo Castellucci brings to Berlin a very personal version of Hyperion.\nBased on the German Romantic poet Friedrich H\u00f6lderlin\u2019s epistolary novel, this is his first collaboration with a German ensemble. Castellucci casts the title character as a series of female figures \u2013 some of whom are played by Angela Winkler, the grande dame of Berlin stages \u2013 transposing H\u00f6lderlin\u2019s reflections on submission and revolution into today\u2019s media-saturated society.\nWhat attracted you to H\u00f6lderlin\u2019s text?\nI have never been interested in poetry in theatre because I have always believed it was the anti matter of the scene. And here I am, disarmed again by this subversive poet. The deep intellect of Hyperion eludes me, but not its necessity. In this book I found the icy precision of a guarded aesthetic that cuts to the bone, meant as political radicalism.\nThe subtitle for this production is \u201cLetters of a Terrorist\u201d instead of the original second title \u201cThe Hermit in Greece\u201d. Why did you choose this new emphasis?\nWe must overcome both grief and hope.\nThe terrorism that is referred to in the subtitle isn\u2019t the historical version practiced by religious or political extremist groups \u2013 so tragically devoid of a true vision \u2013 but that of those who practice, or at least confuse, life with art, and combat the absolutism of reality. I am: this is the battle cry of the living. Hyperion represents the struggle of living that is everywhere, through images that are impossible to accept without question but also difficult to forget or ignore. It\u2019s radical, socially unacceptable, that these letters in this epistolary novel serve as the tool of a terrorist: the orderly beauty of the living as a potential vehicle for the bomb of life. The threat \u2013 hidden in plain sight, as David Foster Wallace said \u2013 of the beautiful form is that which throws the living into disorder. Those who just live are not afraid of death, but of those who truly experience life.\nH\u00f6lderlin\u2019s main characters disseminate \u2013 like prophets \u2013 an idea of life, \u201caorgica\u201d (all-encompassing), which disturbs the metaphysical order of vertical thinking. Life is everywhere, and that\u2019s frightening. The living are frightening to those who accept life as it presents itself. Hyperion feels every vivid moment of life on his skin. He notices this, wants this, loses himself in it.\nWhy stage a novel from the end of the 18th century at the beginning of the 21st century?\nGiven the complexity of this era, this text represented for me a new escape route, so contemporary in its antiquated nature, in its ability to overcome the stereotypes of condensed junk culture, of the anti-aestheticism doctrine that makes trash, irony and sentimentalism into an endless lamentation, intolerable and ineffective. This Hyperion is a text that breaks with the domain of communication because there is nothing here to communicate. There are no claims or messages, and this itself is the good news. Hyperion is a representation as such. It\u2019s the thing in itself, not a promise, not the metaphor. It is the time passing.\nDo you think that our world is so saturated with junk culture that it can\u2019t see beyond it?\nI think the trash \u2013 and above all the idea of quantity that accompanies it \u2013 can now offer an opportunity for thought and political consciousness. Just as the ancient saints frequented the desert, the artist can now take refuge in the deep white noise \u2013 basically already a type of silence \u2013 of communication. We must overcome both grief and hope (which is the sister of despair). The trash culture which we are basically immersed in 24 hours a day can be the beginning of a new journey in the desert. So: thanks to the saturation of this age we can see an elsewhere, but first we must succeed in no longer seeing what is right under our noses.\nAre all true revolutions doomed to collapse?\nThe revolution that seems to be suggested by Hyperion is molecular, invisible and individual. And it is trans-historical, beyond chronological time. It\u2019s always morning here. In this sense it is invincible, because the battle is elsewhere. To be precise, it is to be elsewhere. For this reason, there are no references to historical revolutions in the show because it is a radical critique of reality, taken as a whole.\nYour style is sometimes described as \u201cpicture theatre\u201d. What does that mean to you?\nNothing. It is an incorrect and superficial definition. It\u2019s true, I work with images, but the images are just a partial element. I focus on what cannot be seen, such as, for example, the time channels that are opened between the viewer and the representation. It\u2019s time that shapes the show, and I mould it like a medium, like a sculptor shapes stone or a painter uses colour.\nAt this point in your career, what do you think of the work you did in the 1990s?\nMy perspective has changed. I think I have done my duty. I\u2019ve never had any peace. To make theatre is to be on the front lines of criticism and to receive the rougher blows. But I still believe that theatre is the art of a lesser god and a default mode. We must raise the bar and be more daring.\nHyperion, Mar 17-18, 20:00 | Schaubu\u0308hne am Lehniner platz, Ku\u0308rfurstendamm 153, Charlottenburg, U-Bhf Adenauerplatz\nTheatre Issue 114 Interviews\nWOW Insperational\nI love this interview indeed!\nRomeo I wish I could have seen the interview so I could hear the words come out of your moth and see your expressions as they were said.

        "raw_content": "Birthmarks are marks on the skin formed at birth or shortly after birth. A large proportion of newborns have a birthmark and the cause of their formation is not certain. It is suspected to be cellular damage due to radiation, chemicals or can also be genetic. Also known as skin lesion or naevis, birthmarks can be found anywhere on the body. Some birthmarks are not treatable, however in most cases can be treated by multiple sessions of laser therapy.\nThere are two main types of birthmarks. Vascular birthmarks are caused by abnormal blood vessels under the surface of the skin, which usually occur when the blood vessels do not form correctly. They are usually red in colour. They include \u201cstrawberry marks\u201d, port-wine stains, hemangiomas, and stork bites.\nPigmented birthmarks are the result of the clustering of pigment cells, which are responsible for colouring the skin. They can range from tan to brown, grey to black, or may even be blue. These birthmarks may consist of \u201ccafe-au-lait\u201d or Mongolian spots.\nMost birthmarks are harmless and painless, however it is important to have your birthmark examined by your healthcare practitioner on a regular basis as they may be associated with health problems. Many birthmarks are benign and do not require treatment and are often removed for cosmetic reasons.\nThese laser treatments to reduce the appearance of birthmarks on the skin are usually given at an interval of about 4 weeks, depending on your particular condition and needs. During your consultation with Dr. Jain, a treatment schedule and plan will be recommended based on your unique situation.\nNd YAG Laser \u2013 The Nd YAG Laser is effective to remove colour from the skin and is effective on brown, blue, and black spots. It breaks the pigment by penetrating the top layer of the skin and stimulates the body\u2019s natural collagen production, which is utilized in the generation of new skin cells. This will provide the skin with the vital proteins necessary in the production of smooth, healthy, and youthful looking skin.\nKTP Laser \u2013 The KTP Laser is particularly effective for targeting red pigment in the skin and for those with vascular birthmarks. It is a powerful greenlight laser that targets excess blood vessel proliferation.",

        "raw_content": "Let's Dis' Christmas\nNow that Christmas is over, I can finally speak my mind on the subject. It is a hideous, reprehensible holiday that damages children and serves only the needs of our capitalist economy.\nI have no objection to a holiday where people get together with family and friends. This is good, especially when people are so over-programmed that they might not do it otherwise. It is the gift-giving tradition that has become disgusting\u2014a monster out of control.\nI have nothing against gift giving, but its meaningfulness lies in its spontaneity and its free-will nature. The best gift is something that is unexpected and perfectly tailored to the person you are giving to. It is the physical equivalent of sharing a new idea or experience with them. A gift is a means of personal communication.\nThere is nothing discretionary about gift-giving at Christmas. Society forces you to do it. The result is gifts without joy or communication.\nChildren look forward to Christmas, but not with the kind of innocent, wide-eyed wonder we associate with it. Children approach Christmas with greed, pure and simple. \"What am I going to get?\" Parents, in turn, are forced into an endless arms race where they have to top whatever they did last year and keep up with the next-door neighbors.\nA \"successful\" Christmas is one where no one is complaining too badly at the end of it. There is no real joy except at the moment a gift is unwrapped. The toy is used once then thrown into the child's overburdened room, where it remains untouched until eventually disposed of.\nThe power structure of Christmas is very disturbing. Parents give and children receive. Children don't have to do anything to receive their gift; it just comes to them because of their god-like specialness. The bigger the gift, the more it reinforces the child's position as a spoiled brat who deserves special attention just for existing. The more extravagant the Christmas, the more you are pushing the child toward eventual ruin in adulthood, where he will expect this coddled treatment to continue.\nAnd don't get me started on that Santa Claus dude. I just don't understand: How does it benefit children to teach them this fantasy?\nParents are motivated not by the \"joy of giving\" but by guilt and a desperate desire to be adored. An expensive gift is a cheap shot to adoration. It is supposed to make up for all the time and attention not spent on the child.\nChristmas is a drug-fix for defective families. It doesn't raise good children. It doesn't built character. It is this massive year-end distraction from the real business of child-rearing, which is to teach self-sufficiency and responsibility.\nThe secret, insidious purpose of Christmas is to breed consumers. It teaches children that the purpose of life is to acquire things.\nChristmas is a holiday of impossible dreams and inevitable disappointment, which haunt the child into adulthood. Because Christmas is always overhyped and underfulfilled, it creates in later life the ingrained psychology of \"giving gifts to oneself.\" Primed by Christmases of the past\u2014disappointing or excessive\u2014adults can spend their whole lives giving themselves presents\u2014shiny, useless, expensive things they think they deserve. Christmas helps create a perpetual sense of entitlement. \"I deserve this frivolous thing, because I have been good.\"\nYou hear this explicitly in adult advertizing: \"After all you have done throughout the year, don't you deserve a Lexus?\" Christmas has evolved into a capitalist tool to generate lifelong consumer demand. The whole idea of \"I deserve it because I've been good\" comes from the Christmas mythology.\nAs I see it, you never \"deserve\" to waste resources, even if you earned them. If you have enough extra money to buy a Lexus, then you should be using it for some service to humanity. That is supposed to be the true Christian ethos of Christmas: giving, not receiving.\nChristmas, quite simply, is a money machine, created by merchants for merchants. It isn't a \"children's holiday.\" It is a holiday for the exploitation of children. You dangle some useless bauble in front of them and seduce them into begging their parents for it. It is just another systematic method of extracting money from people who have it.\nIf you are a parent, the pressure of Christmas is hard to resist. Are you going to spoil your children by giving them useless gifts they didn't work for, or are you going to traumatize them by denying them Christmas altogether?\nI suggest taking them away, preferably out of the country. Instead of holding your family vacation in the summer, you could have it in the winter, just happening to coincide with Dec. 25. You could do something with your kids rather than giving them something. This will probably be much more meaningful in the long run.\nAlso See Essay #35: Capitalism Sucks.\n\u201cAmen\u201d \u2014Joe in NY 12/27/06 (rating=3)\n\u201cWholeheartedly believe in this philosphy!!!!!

        "raw_content": "Psalm 128 as we said a couple weeks ago, is a Psalm of ascent. We said that this Psalm was one of 15 Psalms of ascent that may have been sung by the Jewish people as they made their pilgrimages from their hometown ascending UP to Jerusalem for each of the 3 Jewish feasts. The big picture of this Psalm, is one of our ascent to the holy city. We are making our ascent to Zion. God is sanctifying us, making us holy, conforming us to the image of Jesus to be like Him, as we make our pilgrimage through this world and ascend to our heavenly City where the faithful gather together in the presence of our King, to worship Him forever. We\u2019re marching to Zion. What are you marching to when you wake up each day?\nWe know where the Psalms of ascent are taking the people\u2026 to the hill called Mount Zion, where the city of Jerusalem is located. Jerusalem, is the city of salem or Shalom. The Hebrew term, Shalom, means peace, not just peace of mind\u2026 but a total peace. Notice how this Psalm begins and ends. It begins in verse 1 with blessed is everyone\u2026 and ends in verse 6 peace be upon Israel\u2026 IOW, it begins with the state of true peace (blessed) and ends with a prayer for true peace. In Psalm 122:6, we\u2019re told to pray for the peace of Jerusalem!\nWhat Shalom is\nShalom or peace was rich term that meant health, security, tranquility, absolute flourishing, joy and bliss. (Far richer than our simple, \u2018how\u2019s it going?\u2019) The root word for Shalom means to be whole, to be complete or fulfilled. To have Shalom meant to have everything you need, b/c the Hand of the Lord was with you.\nThe theme of Psalm 128 is Shalom. The entire Psalm is a picture of what an individual, a family, a city, even a nation with God\u2019s shalom can be. We\u2019re ascending to the city of Shalom.\nHow Shalom comes\n1) Shalom comes through Fighters: Men\nPsalm 128:4 \u2013 Behold, thus shall the man be blessed who fears the Lord.\nAlthough Psalm 128 begins with \u2018Blessed is everyone (generic; individual)\u2026\u2019 It has a pointed target audience in mind. Verse 4 \u2013 \u2018thus shall the man be blessed\u2026\u2019 The Psalmist is talking to everyone generically, but he really has one particular group he\u2019s addressing\u2026 MEN! You see, the man, in 128:4 is referenced in verse 3 where it says: \u2018\u2026your wife will be fruitful within your house\u2026 and your children will be like olive shoots around your table\u2026\u2019 Its blatantly obvious, we\u2019re talking to husbands and fathers, the spiritual heads of households. (And listen, don\u2019t check out here if you\u2019re not a husband or father. Ladies, single men and women, young and old\u2026 please don\u2019t check out. That\u2019s what happened in generation following Joshua. They checked out. )\nThe Hebrew term used for man, is very masculine and it means strength or valiant or warrior\u2026. They are fighters, they don\u2019t flee. It\u2019s not referencing soft-spined, effeminate men who refuse to be men\u2026 These are Ephesians 6 armor of God men. They are broken, incomplete men\u2026 in fact, they are very aware of their weakness, but these men know they are strong in the Lord and the strength of His might (Eph. 6:10).\nAnd, God\u2019s plan for bringing wholeness, shalom, His peace to the city and the nation\u2026 involves broken, incomplete men, who have found Shalom in Christ. In Psalm 128, God is calling fighting husbands and fighting fathers, fighting men, who are willing to die for the Shalom, the fulfillment of God\u2019s peace for their family, for the church, the city and the nations. It almost seems like a paradox\u2026 seeking peace through fighters.\n2) Shalom comes through the fear the LORD\nPsalm 128:1 \u2013 Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord\u2026\nQ: What\u2019s it mean to fear the Lord?\nFear in the Greek is phobeo. Do you have a phobia? Some of you men are afraid of your wife and/or your children\u2026 to cross them or speak truth to them because of a phobia of rejection or a lack of peace. Our phobias tell us something: They tell us we\u2019re weak\u2026because we\u2019re not in control. If your claustrophobic, tight spaces have power over you\u2026 they control you, because you don\u2019t have the ability to control getting out of them. When it comes to tight spaces, you\u2019re weak, incomplete. If you have a phobia of rejection, that means someone\u2019s approval has power over you\u2026 they control you. When it comes to approval, you\u2019re weak, incomplete. However, to fear the LORD means that the LORD has power over you, He is controlling you\u2026 b/c you know you\u2019re weak and incomplete in His presence. And b/c you do, you find perfect peace, Shalom, in Him.\nHere\u2019s three examples from scripture of men, fighters, who thought they were complete in themselves until they saw the LORD.\nJob 38:1-3; 42:1-9 \u2013 When Job was justifying himself before the Lord for his own righteousness, God showed up in the whirlwind and questioned him. His final response after 4 chapters of hearing God\u2019s voice: I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you; therefore I despise myself, and repent in dust and ashes.\u201d\nWhen Job saw the Lord, he came un-glued\u2026he realized he wasn\u2019t whole or complete\u2026 he despised himself. Despising oneself is simply the response of someone who has lost control (I hate myself, I can\u2019t manage my life). Job saw himself in the presence of the Lord and feared Him and the LORD lifted the burden of his self-justification, and brought true Shalom, peace, and completeness to his life and family.\nIn the year that King Uzziah died Isaiah saw the Lord seated on the throne, high and lifted up, and it was more than he could handle. As he heard the seraphim calling out, Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts, the whole earth is full of His glory\u2026 He said, Woe is me! For I am undone.\u2026 He saw himself for the first time, in the presence of holiness, and He lost control of his prophetic ministry. And all he could do was cry out in repentance. Isaiah saw himself in the presence of the Lord and feared Him and the LORD lifted the burden of his unclean lips and brought true Shalom, peace, and completeness to his prophetic ministry.\nAnd in the NT we read about Saul, later the Apostle Paul\u2026\nSaul was breathing out threats against the believers in Christ until he encountered the LORD in a bright light that blinded him. He saw the LORD, because he couldn\u2019t see anything else. And when he saw himself in the light of the LORD\u2019s presence, he feared the LORD, and the LORD lifted his burden. Saul repented of his Pharisee religion, bringing true Shalom, peace, and completeness to the Apostle Paul\u2019s mission.\nEach one of these men thought they could control their lives, until they met the One who controlled them and their circumstances. It\u2019s a frightening thing to fall into the hands of the Living God. You see, every phobia in your life, is sent by God to prove to you that you have no control over your life\u2026 you are not in control of your health, your wife, your children, your income, your comfort, your personal peace, your reputation, or your future. The fact that you have these phobias is God\u2019s grace reminding you He\u2019s the One that upholds the universe by the word of His power; that He\u2019s the One in Whom all things hold together; that He\u2019s the One who works all things together for good to those that love Him and are called according to His purpose. This is what it looks like when real men of God fear the Lord. They see themselves in the presence of a holy God (they\u2019re not comparing themselves to others, but to God alone). And in doing so, they see how broken, fragile and incomplete they are, and all they can do is cry out for mercy (Have mercy on me Oh LORD), and when they do, they find His redemption which brings His Shalom, peace, and completeness to your life.\nAnd then, to fear the LORD, means you will\u2026\n3) Shalom comes through following the LORD\nPsalm 128:1 \u2013 Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord; who walks in His ways.\nWhat are the ways of the LORD? Well, when Job, Isaiah and Saul saw the LORD, they came unglued, and what did the LORD do for them? What they could not do for themselves. He lifted their burden. This is what the Good News is\u2026 the Gospel\u2026 the Good News that brings great joy. We always attribute following the Lord with obedience, and certainly following the LORD means obeying Him. Jesus said, whoever loves me will obey my commandments. The problem is how we interpret this. We think obedience or following the Lord begins with His commandments\u2026 His moral laws, IOW\u2026 God\u2019s good advice. But truly, when Jesus said that whoever loves me will obey my commandments, He was saying the obedience to God, begins with love for God.\nYou see, fear of the LORD should produce a love for the LORD which leads to obedience to the LORD. Understanding and knowing love for God, b/c of who He is (holy) and b/c of who we are in His presence (undone; incomplete), and b/c of what He has done for us (lifted our burden, making us at peace with God)\u2026 only this produces delightful obedience.\nWhen we think that following the LORD means seeking His good advice first, or giving others the Lord\u2019s good advice\u2026 we\u2019re not helping them get their burdens lifted\u2026 we\u2019re casting more burdens on them.\nI.E.: If someone came in with a note that said, your child is missing. Immediately a phobia would fall on you. Something you treasure is now way out of your control. So, let\u2019s say I said, okay, wait\u2026 let\u2019s think about this\u2026 and I shared with you that 99% of missing children missing in the U.S. are usually found. Is that encouraging? How about if I said, I think it would be appropriate to call out an Amber Alert and let\u2019s organize search parties to go out and find this child. Is that helpful? What if I said, you know, let\u2019s just stop right now and pray diligently for this child to be found. Surely that\u2019s helpful? BUT, what if, after hearing your child is missing, Willa stood up in the back and said, \u201cNo, they\u2019re not, I have the child with me right here!\u201d Which would rather hear\u2026 all my good advice or Willa\u2019s good news? Which one lifts your burden?\nTim Keller asks this question:\n\u201cHow do you feel when you\u2019re given good advice on how to live? Someone says, \u201cHere\u2019s the love you ought to have, or the integrity you ought to have,\u201d and maybe they illustrate high moral standard by telling a story of some great hero. But when you hear it, how does it make you feel? Inspired\u2026 sure. But\u2026 do you feel your burdens have fallen off? Do you feel as if something great has been done for you and you\u2019re not afraid anymore? You\u2019re not a slave anymore? Of course you don\u2019t. B/C good advice weighs you down: This is how I have to live. It\u2019s not a gospel. The gospel is that God connects to you not on the basis of what you\u2019ve done (or haven\u2019t done) but on the basis of what Jesus has done for you in the presence of a holy God.\u201d\nOn the cross, before He breathed His last and died, Jesus said, \u2018It is finished!\u201d IOW\u2026 it is fulfilled, it is complete, Shalom. Jesus stepped into the presence of His holy Father, became sin for us by taking His holy wrath, and then bearing and lifting your burden. Now you, as messed up, as broken and fragile and incomplete as you are\u2026 you now have Shalom with God\u2026 you are complete in Christ. You\u2019re burden is lifted. Now what? Jesus made it clear\u2026 Deny yourself, take up your cross daily, and follow Me\u2026 obey all that I have commanded you. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. The Shalom that Jesus offers at the cross, frees me to lose my life by dying to myself and my control\u2026 and going and bearing another\u2019s burden. That\u2019s really what evangelism and any kind of obedience boils down to. Jesus fought and defeated sin and satan to lift my burden. Therefore, I am now free to bear another\u2019s burden. I can\u2019t lift anyone\u2019s burden. Only the Gospel does that. Good advice doesn\u2019t do it.\nThis is what happened to Job, Isaiah, and the Apostle Paul:\nJob prayed for his three \u2018judgmental\u2019 friends. He didn\u2019t have to avoid them or rebuke them. He simply died to controlling his life, and was free to care for them, to pray for them\u2026 to bear their burden.\nIsaiah heard the voice of the Lord saying, \u201cWhom shall I send, and who will go for us?\u201d Then Isaiah said, \u201cHere I am! Send me.\u201d And he went freely to bear the burden of a people whom God said would hear but never listen and see but never come to understand. He followed the Lord, walking in His steps.\nPaul \u2013 After Paul met God, it says immediately he proclaimed Jesus in the synagogues, saying, \u201cHe is the Son of God.\u201d Once he realized God controlled the planet and his life, he went from being the chief burden maker to the chief burden bearer of the Gentile church, freely proclaiming the burden-lifting Gospel.\nGalatians 6:2 tells us: Bear one another\u2019s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.",

        "raw_content": "WATERCOOLER CHAT: TOUGH WEEKEND FOR KOBE AND CREW, LEBRON DOMINATES, NEW RIVALRY IN BASEBALL\nIn the NBA, it was a difficult weekend for Kobe Bryantand the Lakers. They suddenly found themselves in a 2-0 hole to a very tough Oklahoma City team. They pulled out a win Friday night, bringing it to 2-1, and looked to even up the series at Staples Center on Saturday night. The Lakers had the lead most of the way, keeping at just about a 10-point margin most of the game thanks to a 38 point, 8 rebound night from Kobe Bryant. But then, in the 4th, the Thunder picked up the pace and made it a game. That\u2019s when Kobe went into \u2018leadership\u2019 mode and started taking a lot of shots \u2014 bad shots that is. He just kept missing, and gave Kevin Durant the chance to ice the game. Kevin Durant got the ball, dribbled up to the 3-point line, and SWISH \u2014 gave the Thunder the lead they needed to hold and steal a victory on the Lakers court. The series is now 3-1, headed back to OKC. OKC 103, LA Lakers 100.And on Sunday, LeBron and the Heat had Game 4 of their challenging series against Indiana. Without Chris Bosh \u2014 the Heat are a different team. Plus, on top of that, Wade is playing hurt \u2014 so much so that he had to have his knee drained before Game 4. They desperately needed a win on Indiana\u2019s court if they wanted to keep their championship hopes alive. The game was neck and neck most of the way. The Pacers Danny Granger put up 20 points in a solid night for the Pacers, but, unfortunately for Indiana, LeBron James turned into the LeBron James of the Cleveland years \u2014 the guy who dominates entire games. LeBron had a remarkable 40 point, 18 rebound, and 2 block night. The Pacers had no chance of stopping him, and now the series is tied at 2 games a piece. Miami 101, Indiana 93.\nFinally, in baseball, there is a new rivalry brewing between the Baltimore Orioles and the Washington Nationals. Baltimore vs. DC. This is notable because these teams have been so horrible for a while, but now they are both competitors. Sure, they\u2019re in different leagues, which is what is so wonderful about inter-league play. Ace Stephen Strasburg took the mound for the Nats and essentially dominated the Orioles. He had 8 strikeouts, but guess what else\u2026 Strasberg homered in the game as well. Strasberg is one of those players whose just amazing at everything. Not too many major league pitchers can hit a home-run. The Nats got the win, but don\u2019t be surprised if these two squads meet up in the World Series. Washington 9, Baltimore 3",

Kobe put a posting on the Internet titled \u201cDear Basketball\u201d in which he told the world \u201cThis season is all I have left to give. My heart can take the pounding. My mind can handle the grind but my body knows it\u2019s time to say goodbye.\u201d Kobe had a unique career and will go down as one of the greatest basketball players of all time. The game will miss him.\nIn the NFL, the Seattle Seahawks and Pittsburgh Steelers are both trying their hardest to shake off a bad start to the season and secure a playoff spot. The Steelers headed to Seattle this weekend and in the midst of the battle, the Seahawks lost tight end Jimmy Graham to a season-ending injury. Oddly enough, once he went out, the Seahawks played better, and even though it was a scoring feast from both teams, the Seahawks came away with the victory. Seattle 39, Pittsburgh 30.\nIn prime time, the Denver Broncos hosted the unbeaten New England Patriots. Even though the Pats entered the game undefeated, they team is completely banged up and it seems like every week they lose one of their stars. They first lost Dion Lewis, then Julian Edelman, and now\u2026 Rob Gronkowski. In the 4th quarter, Gronk went down and had to be carted off the field. We don\u2019t know the seriousness of the injury yet, but it didn\u2019t look good. The Broncos were behind most of the game, but they surged back for a late lead. Not surprisingly, the Pats tied the score to send the game into overtime. The Broncos, led by QB Brock Osweiler battled the weather and got the ball to back-up running back CJ Anderson who scored the game winning touchdown. The Pats are no longer undefeated. Denver 30, New England 24.",

For example, there would be advice about certain things which is phrased differently which helped me overcome my problems easily.\nAlso, there are lots of resources on how to strengthen yourself, improve your endurance and improve your flexibility which helps to learn techniques easier and faster.\nSure, it's no replacement for proper training but knowledge like that can help you improve more quickly.\nBetter to benefit from other peoples' experience than be ignorant about the wider world.\nYes Harlan that is exactly what I am saying.\nThere are many types of things one can do while viewing the forum\nWhen I peruse the forum, which is rare, I try to do dynamic stretches or squats or something while I am reading.\nI would hate to think that young or aspiring Martial Artists would ever get the idea that typing and reading is synonymous with training.\nJust finished my second set of 25 squats\nJust curious, have you heard of the concept of overtraining?\nOver training? do you mean to the point of injury?\nHow do you over train? is that like overstudying for an exam. \"Darn I studied so much for this exam and knew all the material\" so I got an A.\nP.S In my opinion there are no shortcuts. Only hard work and dedication and determination make things easier.\nI'm not sure I get your point at all. If you don't like the forum, why are you here? Most folks are here because they cannot be training for one reason or another. I am also at work for 9 hours a day.\nNo, don't worry, I was just curious whether you were aware of the advantages of adequate rest when mental and physical development is concerned. No worries, I'm not saying you should train any less than you do.",

        "raw_content": "Posted by: Robert Avsec, Executive Fire Officer August 2, 2016\t2 Comments\nBy Robert Avsec, Executive Fire Officer\nCongratulations! You\u2019ve completed your probationary period with your fire and EMS organization and with it all the training and development activities prescribed by your department.\nYou\u2019re now, no doubt, chomping on the bit to advance in your chosen career, but where do you start?\nBefore you get too far ahead of yourself, talk about your career aspirations with those closest to you. It may be your spouse or significant other, and maybe your children. Why? Because time spent on professional development, whether it\u2019s time spent attending a class or time spent working on a class paper in the spare bedroom upstairs, is time that you can\u2019t give to those important people in your life. And that\u2019s already an issue, what with you being on duty and away from home for your 24-hour shifts.\nBe proactive and take the time to not only discuss where you want to go, but how you\u2019re going to get there in planning for your fire service career.\nFor example, you want to become a driver operator and there\u2019s a course coming up that\u2019s being presented by your state\u2019s fire training agency. By all means get all the information necessary to enroll in the course, but talk it over with the rest of your team before you take action and enroll.\nYou, and they, need to understand that you\u2019re all in this for the long haul and that there is going to be equal give and take on everyone\u2019s part. You can also use this time to your advantage as a parent because you won\u2019t just be telling your children about the importance of studying and getting a good education, you can be their role model. You can also be their role model for being a life-long learner, a skill that will benefit them in the future as well.\nIf your department does not have a specific program for professional development to follow, you\u2019ll need to do some research up front before you get started.\nStart by identifying what positions are available for your career path and what are the requirements to attain those positions. Is there specific training required? Are there any prerequisites such as a formal education degree \u2014 like an associates or a bachelors degree \u2014 or time in grade that you must satisfy?\nA good place to start your search is at the National Fire Academy\u2019s Fire Service Higher Education (FSHE) website. There you\u2019ll find a wealth of information regarding the program\u2019s goals and objectives, degree programs applicable to the fire and emergency services community, contact information for institution of higher education partners, and a useful model to assist you in your career development planning efforts.\nContact the organizations in your state that provide firefighter and other emergency-services training \u2014 these might be the state fire marshal\u2019s office, the department of fire programs, or the office of EMS \u2014 to obtain information for training programs that you will need to pursue your goals. Many of these organizations and agencies have become more proactive in developing model curriculums and resources that can aid you in developing your individual career development program.\nThe National Fire Academy and various state fire training programs have collaborated for many years on a program dedicated to enhancing career development opportunities for firefighters. NFA offers a two-day program for fire and rescue personnel from specific states. These courses strengthen a state\u2019s fire service community through education, personal networking, and a shared collegial experience.\nState fire training agencies sponsor the two-day program in cooperation with NFA. The state agency selects the courses and recruits and enrolls the students according to established student selection criteria. NFA hosts the program and provides the instruction and course materials.\nCourse materials and lodging are provided at no cost to participants from career or volunteer departments. Meal costs and transportation expenses are the responsibility of the individual participants or the sponsoring agencies.\nThis is a really great program that I went through early in my career. First, you get a taste of the National Fire Academy campus and the wonderful staff that\u2019s there to assist you in your professional development (be sure to take a tour of the Learning Resource Center). Second, you\u2019ll have an opportunity to start developing your own professional network by meeting other firefighters from your state. You\u2019ll likely wind up making some fire service friendships that will last your entire career.\nSee Related: Musings of a 1st year Executive Fire Officer Program Student\nIf you want to get somewhere, you have to have directions. And reaching your professional development goals is no different. You can increase your chances for success by using short-term goals that you can realistically achieve thereby giving you opportunities for success that you can build upon.\nFor example, one of your short-term goals may be to become a paramedic. Here\u2019s how you can create a map to get you there using the SMART model.\nSpecific: Become a Nationally Registered Paramedic.\nMeasureable: Obtain certification as a paramedic through your state\u2019s certifying agency.\nAction Oriented: Complete paramedic training and clinical rotations through the local community college system.\nRealistic: Attend paramedic training and clinical rotations using 24 hours of off-duty time weekly.\nTimely: Complete the training program and certification process by January of 2014.\nCongratulations again on completing the first step in your career development, the completion of your probationary period. You\u2019ve chosen what can be a wonderful and rewarding career, and it\u2019s a career with an ever expanding body of knowledge that will challenge you in different ways every day.\nYou will greatly enhance your abilities to meet those challenges by taking action to become a life-long learner and your first step should be to map out your course. Good luck!\nfire service career planning fire service career training FSHE National Fire Academy National Fire Academy Fire Service Higher Education professional development in the fire service\t2016-08-02\nPrevious: Customer Care Program Still Going Strong for Virginia Fire and EMS Department\nNext: Fire department performance measurement?",

By the time the product is completed and shipped, you can rest assured it has undergone the most comprehensive quality checks in this business. Additionally, our quality control steps allow our team to look for new ways to improve your product, potentially saving you time and money.\nWe Test and Re-test\nFirst American Plastic is known for its rigorous testing and incredibly high standards. We test the products we manufacture for strength, durability and overall integrity. And then we test again. It\u2019s not enough to assume that since we got it right last time that we\u2019re guaranteed to get it right this time -- we take each testing stage very seriously. We want our customers to share our confidence in the quality of the product \u2013 even if it means devoting a great deal of time and manpower to this crucial phase of quality control. Our customers are consistently grateful that we go the extra mile.\nYou Are as Involved as You Would Like to Be\nWhen you\u2019ve got a project in mind, you probably have an opinion or two about how it is completed. We see that as a good thing. In fact, we refuse to view customer solutions as one-size-fits-all and welcome any feedback you have. The result is an extra level of quality control. Your unique perspective and your company\u2019s individual needs help shape our methodology from start to finish and help to ensure that the product we deliver you is of the highest possible quality.\nWe Take Quality Seriously, However Big (or Small) Your Project Size\nFrom our largest ongoing projects to the smaller one-off production runs, we take quality control seriously. Our attention to detail allows us to take on production-level quantities of 5,000 pieces up to 5 million pieces. We\u2019re so confident in our ability to tackle quality issues at every stage that we even offer a \u201cmold takeover\u201d service.

        "raw_content": "Augustusburg Palace in the town of Bruehl near the city of Cologne, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany\nAugustusburg Palace and Falkenlust Hunting Lodge form a historical building complex located in the town of Bruehl at the edge of the Rhineland Nature Park, about 20 km (12.5 miles) south of the city centre of Cologne. The building complex and the spacious gardens that connect both buildings have been listed as a UNESCO cultural World Heritage Site since 1984. Augustusburg Palace and its parks also serve as a venue for the Bruehl Palace Concerts. Furthermore, the Max Ernst Museum is located nearby.\nAlready in the the 12th century, the archbishops of Cologne owned a deer park at this spot of land. In 1284, a moated castle was built by archbishop Siegfried that was meant to be a bulwark against the city of Cologne. In 1298, this stronghold was completed. The castle was enhanced by archbishop Walram. But in 1689, in the course of the Nine Years' War, it was blown up by French forces and hence destroyed completely.\nAugustusburg Palace and Falkenlust Hunting Lodge were built at the beginning of the 18th century on the spot of the former castle by the Archbishop-Elector of Cologne, Clemens August of Bavaria of the Wittelsbach dynasty. The construction took place according to the plans of the German architect Johann Conrad Schlaun, who also used the former stronghold\u2019s foundations for building the new palace. That\u2019s why Augustusburg Palace has exactly the same width as the predecessor building.\nThe palace, which was the Archbishop-Elector\u2019s favourite residence, is one of the first examples of Rococo creations in Germany. While the gardens and the exterior facades of both the palace and the hunting lodge still represent high baroque architecture, the palace\u2019s interior was designed in the R\u00e9gence and Early Rococo styles. Its designer was the Belgian-born Bavarian architect Fran\u00e7ois de Cuvilli\u00e9s.\nIn 1728, he took over and made the palace into one of the most glorious residences of its time. Until its completion in 1768, numerous outstanding artists of European renown contributed to its beauty. A prime example of the calibre of artists employed here is Balthasar Neumann, who created the design for the magnificent staircase, an enchanting creation full of dynamism and elegance. The magical interplay of architecture, sculpture, painting and garden design made the Br\u00fchl Palaces a masterpiece of German Rococo.\nAlso in 1728, the Baroque gardens were designed by the French garden designer Dominique Girard according to French models. The gardens weren\u2019t built axial to the main wing, but axial to the southern wing, which was quite unusual. In the 19th century, main parts of the gardens were re-landscaped into an English style landscape garden by the Prussian garden designer Peter Joseph Lenn\u00e9. However, between 1933 and 1935, the gardens were again reconstructed under the old plans of 1728.\nBut although Archbishop-Elector of Cologne Clemens August of Bavaria loved Augustusburg Palace, it was only used as a summer residence and hunting ch\u00e2teau and therefore was only occupied by him for six weeks each year. The Electoral Palace in the city of Bonn and Poppelsdorf Palace in the Poppelsdorf district of Bonn remained his main residences.\nAt the end of World War II the palace was damaged heavily. But already in 1946, restoration work began. From 1949 onwards, Augustusburg Palace was used for representative purposes by the German Federal President and the Federal Government for many decades.\nToday, Augustusburg Palace, Falkenlust Hunting Lodge and the gardens are open to the public. The complex is viewed by almost 200,000 visitors each year and therefore is economically rather important for the town of Bruehl.",

        "raw_content": "#015 Hayao Miyazaki: Spirited Away vs. Ponyo\nIn today's episode Nate and Austin compare Hayao Miyazaki's best and worst rated films, Spirited Away (2001) and Ponyo (2008), respectively. Austin thinks P is being a B, Nate wishes Amon Goeth played Ponyo, and they both need to watch more animated films. Check back next Sunday at 7pm PST where we will compare Edgar Wright's Shaun of the Dead (2004) and A Fistful of Fingers (1994), his best and worst rated films.\nAnd check out this clip from the documentary on Hayao Miyazaki, The Kingdom of Dreams and Madness: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFIE-ISqNoU\nPonyo Notes\nPLOT: An adventure about a five-year-old boy and his relationship with Ponyo, a goldfish princess who longs to become a human after falling in love with him.\nDirector: Hayao Miyazaki (My Neighbor Totoro, Castle in the Sky, Howl's Moving Castle, Princess Mononoke)\nWriter(s): Hayao Miyazaki\nCinematographer: Atsushi Okui (Castle in the Sky, Howl's Moving Castle, Princess Mononoke)\nNotable actors: Cate Blanchett, Noah Lindsey Cyrus, Matt Damon, Tina Fey, Frankie Jonas, Cloris Leachman, Liam Neeson, Jennessa Rose, Betty White, Lily Tomlin\nHayao Miyazaki drew most of the sea and wave imagery himself, experimenting with making it as expressionistic as possible. John Lasseter said that he had never seen water animated so beautifully before.\nThe opening 12 seconds, involving vast schools of fish and undersea creatures, required 1613 pages of conceptual sketches to develop.\nHayao Miyazaki was very surprised by the lukewarm reaction of children to his film in test screenings.\nThis is the first animated feature film since Princess Mononoke (1997) to be created and painted on traditional animation cels.\nThe level of detail in the animation resulted in 170,000 separate images - the most that have ever appeared in a Hayao Miyazaki film.\nHayao Miyazaki stated at the 2009 San Diego Comic Con that he was inspired to create the film after watching Disney's animated adaptation The Little Mermaid.\nS\u00f4suke is based on Hayao Miyazaki's son Gor\u00f4 Miyazaki, when he was five years old.\nSpirited Away Notes\nPLOT: During her family's move to the suburbs, a sullen 10-year-old girl wanders into a world ruled by gods, witches, and spirits, and where humans are changed into beasts.\nNotable actors: Daveigh Chase, Suzanne Pleshette, Jason Marsden, Susan Egan, David Ogden Stiers, Lauren Holly, Michael Chiklis, John Ratzenberger, Tara Strong, Bob Bergen\nWon an Oscar for Best Animated Feature in 2003.\nIn order to animate the scene where Chihiro force feeds Haku the medicine in his dragon form, Hayao Miyazaki had his animators study a dog's mouth as they fed it treats while a veterinarian held its lower jaw.\nWhen Chihiro arrives at Zeniba's house, the jumping lamp with sound effect is a nod to the Pixar logo.\nThe cleansing of the river spirit is based on a real-life incident in Hayao Miyazaki's life in which he participated in the cleaning of a river, removing, among other things, a bicycle.\nFirst anime film to be nominated for (and win) an Academy Award. It also has the longest runtime of any other film nominated or winning in that category (125 minutes).\nThis is the first film to earn US$200 million in grosses before opening in the U.S.\nAs of 2016, Spirited Away (2001) is the highest-rated animated film (traditional or computer) in the IMDb Top Rated Movies (Top 250).",

        "raw_content": "Empowerment of adolescent girls through an educational and entertaining radio program\nTanzania is among the poorest countries in the world and half of its population is under the age of 18. Young girls in Tanzania face many challenges, including a lack of access to education. The teenage pregnancy rate is high, with 40% of young girls giving birth before they turn 18. As a result, many of these girls are unable to complete their education and face higher risks of maternal and neonatal mortality.\nUNICEF created Radio Sara, an innovative radio program for children aged 10 to 14, which is both educational and entertaining. Sara radio uses a school girl character to deliver key messages on subjects such a children\u2019s rights, water, sanitation, nutrition, and sexual and reproductive rights. Additionally, listening clubs and debates are organized within the schools to stimulate dialogue and discussions around these important issues.\nFrom 2014 to 2016, Fondation CHANEL partnered with UNICEF to develop the pilot Radio Sara program in 148 primary schools in the Iringa district in Tanzania. 40 episodes have been broadcasted, reaching an estimated 60,000 girls and boys. In 2016, Fondation CHANEL renewed its support for the program to enable UNICEF to reach 175 additional schools in the region, develop a Sara media/life skills kit, and conduct an external evaluation of the project. The overall goal is for the program to be disseminated throughout the country.\nUNICEF promotes the rights and wellbeing of every child. With its partners, it works in 190 countries and territories to translate that commitment into practical action, focusing special effort on reaching the most vulnerable and excluded children, to the benefit of all children, everywhere.",

        "raw_content": "Floods punctuate Fort Wayne\u2019s history\nEven so, we appreciate our rivers\nFrom the 1913 flood, courtesy of the Allen County Public Library Digital Collection\nBetween March 23 and 27, 1913, a tornado stirred through Nebraska and floods moved through Indiana and Ohio. An enormous weather system brought heavy rains to the Middle West states. Historian Bert Griswold in 1917 wrote that this was the most disastrous in the history of Fort Wayne. During the last week of March in 1913, six lives were lost, 15,000 people were made homeless and property damage was massive.\n\u201cp3\u2033>The earliest recorded flood in the Three Rivers area was in 1790, four years before Fort Wayne was established, the result of a devastating combination of a rapid spring thaw and heavy rains. Gerald T. Hopkins, visiting the Three Rivers region in 1804, wrote about the 9-mile portage between Fort Wayne and Huntington, which normally blocked an all-water connection between the Maumee and Wabash river basins. He said, \u201cThe Indians say that in high freshets they have passed from one water to the other in their canoes.\u201d Later, Chief Engineer Jesse Williams used a January 1828 high water mark blazed on a walnut sapling to set the necessary heights of Wabash and Erie Canal banks and bridges on the rivers.\nBefore dikes were built, the average flood level was 14 feet. When engineers built dikes to protect riverside neighborhoods and businesses, the flood levels rose steadily. By the 1920s, with more natural land surfaces replaced with paved roads and parking lots, floods were more frequent and the average flood moved to nearly 20 feet. However, the 1913 flood was the worst to date. Mayor Jesse Grice organized a heroic relief effort and martial law was declared with orders given to shoot looters. Once again in 1982, due to the flood-fighting efforts of volunteers against record high water, Fort Wayne gained a reputation as the \u201cCity that Saved Itself.\u201d\nIn 1985 and in 1991, floods again inundated the area. In the wake of these disasters, plans for allowing floodwaters to wash across the great bend in the Saint Marys River assumed increasing importance. At the groundbreaking ceremony of Headwaters Park Oct. 26, 1993, the Fort Wayne Bicentennial Celebration presented a monument to the cooperative efforts of all elements of the \u201cCity that Saved Itself.\u201d\nOn Oct. 22, 1999, a dedication took place with then-Gov. Frank O\u2019Bannon joining the Headwaters Park Commission. The commission turned the project over to the city\u2019s parks department for operation Jan. 1, 2000. During that same year, the nonprofit Headwaters Park Alliance was given full-time management responsibility for the space by the City of Fort Wayne\u2019s parks board. In doing so, a public-private arrangement was established bolstering a spirit of individual citizens working together with local government.\nEven with the threat of flood and tempest, we\u2019ve come to know and appreciate our rivers, which usually have brought prosperity. Early people settled along waterways, and as with Fort Wayne, many developed into modern-day vibrant communities. Rivers are the reason humankind settled the area, established a portage across a land barrier that connects Maumee and Wabash River systems, attracted the construction of the Wabash and Erie Canal followed by rails, highways, industries, our schools and our homes. It brought good, industrious people such as John Chapman (a.k.a. Johnny Appleseed) seen in 1830 arriving here on the Maumee River with his small boat loaded down with his apple seeds. More people are beginning to appreciate the recreational and economic possibilities offered by the St. Marys and St. Joseph rivers, which form the Maumee.\nWith our abundance of rivers, we\u2019ve learned to enjoy them and to respectfully manage their excesses. Knowing the potential for high waters, we give them full rein to consume\u2009\u2013\u2009and in fact even direct them\u2009\u2013\u2009to overflow onto the land surfaces in the great bend in the St. Marys River and the vast expanse of Headwaters Park to keep them in abeyance on their way downstream.",

        "title": "Does God have a Feminine side? | Fountain of Life",
        "raw_content": "This is one of those controversial questions where answering it is sure to offend someone.\nThe creation account states:\nThere are a few things I\u2019d like to point out about this passage: \u201cman\u201d in the Hebrew is adam (actually pronounced ah-DAWM), which is how Adam got his name. Secondly, \u201cman\u201d in the generic sense refers to humankind in general, both male and female. And, thirdly, \u201cman\u201d \u2014 male and female \u2014 was created in the image of God. With this understanding, the feminine nature originated with God.\nOf course God has a \u201cfeminine\u201d side in that Scripture gives evidence of his softer traits (feminine), as well as his sterner side (masculine). Some good examples include Psalm 103:8, 1 John 4:8 and Matthew 11:28-30.\nYet when it comes to Father, Son and Holy Spirit, which one especially suggests the feminine nature? (Please understand that this is not a question of sexuality, but of nature). Obviously not the Father or Son because, after all, they\u2019re the Father and Son \u2014 both clearly masculine.\nI would offer that the Holy Spirit generally reflects the feminine nature. For instance the symbol for the Holy Spirit is a dove, which suggests gentleness and harmlessness (Luke 3:22). Also, the Holy Spirit is referred to as a \u201cHelper\u201d of believers in John 14:16, 26 (also translated as \u201cComforter\u201d and \u201cCounselor\u201d). One of Eve\u2019s main purposes was to be Adam\u2019s \u201chelper\u201d (Genesis 2:18, 20). In addition, the Holy Spirit is shown to be sensitive \u2014 easily grieved \u2014 in Ephesians 4:30 and Hebrews 10:29.\nThe most glaring evidence of the Holy Spirit\u2019s feminine nature can be observed in John 3:6 where Jesus pointed out that \u201cFlesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.\u201d Jesus was comparing human birth with spiritual regeneration. Just as a woman gives birth to a child (\u201cflesh gives birth to flesh\u201d) so the Holy Spirit gives re-birth to a person\u2019s spirit when he or she turns to God. Giving birth clearly bespeaks of the feminine nature. By contrast, in 1 Peter 1:23 believers are said to be \u201cborn again\u201d of the imperishable seed of the living Word of God, who is Jesus Christ. This is also conveyed in 1 John 3:9 where \u201cSeed\u201d in the Greek is sperma, which is the Greek word for sperm. You see, believers are born-again of the sperm of Christ, but given spiritual re-birth by the Holy Spirit.\nFurthermore, this may spur chuckles, but when Jesus said, \u201cAnyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come\u201d (Matthew 12:32), I can\u2019t help but think of the way men get irate when someone says something insulting about their Momma.\nIt is true that the Holy Spirit is referred to by the pronoun \u201che\u201d in Scripture (e.g. John 16:13), but the thrust of Scripture points to the Holy Spirit\u2019s feminine nature, as detailed above. Besides, God transcends quaint masculine and feminine associations and there is neither male nor female in Christ (Galatians 3:28). Also, Jesus is the wisdom of God, as seen in 1 Corinthians 1:30, but wisdom is personified as a woman in Proverbs 8 and 9.\nThis brief article is not meant to be the all-and-end-all on the topic, but merely food for thought from the Scriptures to provoke further study. It\u2019s a fascinating subject.",

They\u2019re helping to improve the lives of an elderly couple in need.\nThe students are part of a hands-on construction class. On Thursday morning they took it to the next level by building porch rails for Charles and Mona Acton, long-time Duncanville residents who are both in their 80s.\nMr. Action is the son of a former superintendent who served Duncanville ISD from 1945 to 1951. Action Elementary School was named after his father, Charles Action.\nRecently Mr. Acton fell while trying to climb the steps to his home. Fortunately, he wasn\u2019t seriously hurt.\n\u201cOur principal came to visit so she could learn more about the community and realized that they didn\u2019t have a safety rail. And so because we have construction at our school, our principal Mrs. Simmons said, \u2018You know what? It would be awesome for our kids to give back to the community and make a safety rail for our residents,\u2019\u201d said Tami Gamble-Gurnell, the Building Trades teacher at Duncanville High School.\nThe teacher said her students wanted to do something that could help prevent future falls and make the couple\u2019s home a little safer.\nThe students dug the holes Wednesday and were hard at work Thursday morning. They\u2019re hoping to have everything installed by the end of the day.",

'An attitude of gratitude' is what we seek to instill in ourselves and in our family members, especially this week.\nThe following suggestions may enable our families to focus not just on being thankful for the good food of the day, but to also show true gratefulness for the many blessings experienced by our families. Stopping to identify blessings doesn\u2019t mean that life has been easy in the past year. Everyone experiences difficulties and hardships. We can\u2019t ignore the fact that hardships are part of life.\nIn light of this, at Thanksgiving, reflect together on families all around the world who have left their homes to move to other countries because of war, because of economic issues, or because of instability in their home countries. Many may not have the opportunities that we have: enjoying a family meal, reflecting together on the year, or even having a safe place to live. Yet, they too may be looking at life with an 'attitude of gratitude' ... in spite of finding themselves in new places, with circumstances they didn\u2019t anticipate, or with people they do not know.\nThis year, consider using one or more of the following suggestions when you observe Thanksgiving in your home or with others.\nCreate a place tag for every person who will partake of the Thanksgiving meal in your home. On one side of the tag, write the name of the person. On the other side, place a word or phrase from a verse of Scripture. Ask each person to line up according to the verse of Scripture. This determines who sits by whom during the meal. Say the Scriptures together after everyone has been seated.\nIdentify family members and close friends of your family who will not be able to be with you at Thanksgiving. Create or purchase cards for each of these people. On Thanksgiving Day, invite all who are gathered in your home to sign and/or write a note on the cards to those who are missing. Don\u2019t forget to mail the cards on the Friday following Thanksgiving!\nMake a blessing box. Ask different family members to write on slips of paper things for which they are thankful and to place the slips of paper in the blessing box. Use the box as a centerpiece on Thanksgiving Day. Pass around the box, pull out the slips of paper, and read the blessings.\nTake a photograph of all who are gathered with you to celebrate Thanksgiving. Label it \u201cThanksgiving 2016\u201d and list on the back the names of all who are there and one thing each person is thankful for this year.\nReader: Today is Thanksgiving Day. We are grateful to be together at this time of the year.\nReader: Hear these words from the Bible: \u201cThe earth is the Lord\u2019s and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; for he founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters.\u201d (Psalm 24:1-2, NIV)\nReader: As we light the candles on this table, let them be a reminder to us of God\u2019s presence with us.\nReader: Let us pray, \u201cO God for all the blessings we enjoy, we give you thanks. Help us look at the world around us in such a way that we see your hand in creation and in those we meet. Help us be a blessing today to those gathered around this table and in all our days to those we meet at home, at school, in church, and in our community. AMEN.\n\u200bHappy Thanksgiving from Sealy's First United Methodist Church! May we observe this Thanksgiving, and every day, with open, loving and grateful hearts.",

        "raw_content": "Home \u203a Education \u203a How To Choose Country, Course and University Selection?\nHaving decided to make one of the most responsible steps to a prosperous future in his life, enroll in study abroad, many students simply cannot choose a university abroad. They are confused, and this confusion often turns into an incorrect choice, which jeopardizes the quality of higher education.\nDifficulties with choice are a natural phenomenon for foreign students because you cannot study hundreds of universities in detail and choose only one that will be the best. Our agents in higher education abroad have made for you a number of criteria, according to which it will be easier for you to make your choice.\nWhat To Consider While Opting for Study Abroad?\nFirst and foremost, the future student needs to decide on the profession and country of instruction. These are the two most important issues that should be addressed in the family circle, together with parents. The main thing in choosing a profession is your personal predilection for the future specialty, only so, with your heart and soul you can choose a profession that will bring you satisfaction, and hence material well-being.\nLook for a university that can offer training to your specialty\nWhen choosing a foreign university, pay attention to the specialties offered by higher education institutions. At first, glance, what can be simpler, but everything is not so simple. Many universities offer a standard list of courses, and if your dream is beyond the standards, and the chosen profession is rare, you will have to work hard to find a university that meets your requirements.\nAlso pay attention to the presence of related professions in your specialty, the wider the range of courses in your chosen field, the better the quality of education. In addition, pay attention to the availability of master\u2019s, postgraduate and doctoral studies at the university in your profession. This will allow you to get a second higher education at the same university. To help you choose a university abroad for the desired specialty, our migration agent in Perth will be able to give you a list of universities that have a high level of education and special offers in your chosen field.\nBefore choosing a university, it is very important to decide what kind of atmosphere is comfortable for you. You should know that there is a special atmosphere in each university, and therefore, before submitting documents, find out if there are sports clubs or circles in the university where you can practice your hobby, whether it is possible to attend additional classes and develop your talents.\nMany students dream to enter the top universities in the world. This, of course, understandable desire, but you always need to have a spare option. To increase the chances of enrolling in a foreign university, you need to send applications not only to the top institutions but also to those where you find yourself at the top of the school.\nIf you receive a positive response from several universities, you can choose the best one for you. However, if you apply only to one university, the chances of failure are great and then you will have to lose the whole year before the next set.\nCost of study and accommodation\nIncreasingly, the main criterion for choosing a foreign university is the cost of training. If the price is important to you, you should pay attention to public institutions of higher education, where the cost of education and living is significantly lower than in private universities. Also, it is worth remembering that living in suburban universities is always cheaper than in urban ones.\nSkilled Migration Agents\nThe student visa is what most of the students looking for in order to enroll themselves in their choice of foreign university. If you also desire the same, then ISA Migration is there to guide you in best possible way.\nOur professional, Study abroad consultants are highly versatile in this area and help you throughout your visa process.

        "title": "U.S.: Homeless Play Key Role in Occupy Movement \u2014 Global Issues",
        "raw_content": "U.S.: Homeless Play Key Role in Occupy Movement\nHomeless people make up a significant proportion of participants in the Occupy Movement in cities across the United States, from Los Angeles to Atlanta, where at times they comprise an estimated third of the occupiers.\nWhen the organisers of the Washington, DC occupation, which was planned before the Wall Street occupation but took place later, in October, spoke with activists in Spain whose recent movements had inspired them, they were given the following advice, national activist David Swanson told IPS: Keep your occupation to two weeks or fewer, or it will turn into a homeless encampment.\nBut Swanson and the other organisers didn't follow this advice, a choice whose results have challenged people's assumptions about the political participation of homeless people and raised thought-provoking questions for the Occupy Movement itself.\nDespite stereotypical beliefs that homeless people are not interested in politics, the homeless actually have perhaps the least to lose and the most to gain from being involved in the Occupy Movement.\nHomeless people have been attracted to the Occupy encampments for several reasons. One is that they have had access to many free meals, as various local groups have voluntarily provided food to protesters.\nAnother is that Occupy protesters have taken up some of their causes: ending homelessness, fighting gentrification and opposing inequality.\nFor Copper, a 47-year-old, homeless black man, who travels with his companion dog, also named Copper, the Occupy Movement has transformed his life.\nHe credits Occupy with giving him a purpose in life and something other than crack cocaine to worry about.\n'I was down on Auburn Avenue smoking crack like crazy, living behind a wall in the alleyway. I was getting my water out of the air conditioner condensation. I was washing my clothes with that. I was selling my jewellery and battling the Georgia state police,' Copper told IPS.\n'Somebody came along and said, 'You know what's going on at Woodruff Park?' I went to check it out. When I walked up here, I looked on the grass and (saw) all (those) tents and all I said is, 'My prayers have been answered,'' Copper said.\n'Occupy Atlanta helped me save my life because they kept me so busy helping other people, I didn't even have time to be thinking about me,' he told IPS.\nCopper said occupying Atlanta has become a full-time job for him. Since the group was evicted from the park at night, Copper has remained part of a small contingent setting up tents during the day.\n'I guess I've been an activist for several years and didn't even know it,' Copper said, citing his struggle against city officials to be able to sell his jewellery in a public park after officials required all vendors to pay steep fees to a privatised contractor.\n'I didn't even know what activist was; I didn't even give it a thought. I was so busy standing for what was right, I didn't have time to think of a political position and what I was doing. I was standing for what was right,' Copper said.\nComplications arise\nBut Swanson said sometimes the role of homeless people in the Occupy Movement has been 'a mixed bag' and called it 'complicated'.\nConflict can arise regarding 'where to direct activities \u2014 direct action, political organising, or into aid and services for the homeless,' Swanson said. 'And with the homeless, you often have that subsection\u2026 that have drug and alcohol problems, that have disputes that can turn violent. You have a whole array of issues.'\nIn Charlottesville, Virginia, 'a great many of the people who camp there are homeless, without anywhere to go,' he said. Many are also 'new and young and very interested in local community building and aiding people in direct ways they can see and touch'.\n'A lot more has gone into helping the homeless than into protesting the National Defence Authorization Act, let's say, in Washington,' Swanson added.\n'It's tough for me, as someone who focuses on national politics, (that) while we're helping a dozen homeless people here and there, the Federal Reserve is giving seven trillion dollars to the people who caused this in the first place.'\nIn Atlanta, prior to Occupy Atlanta's eviction, dozens of homeless people occupied the park along with housed people.\nFollowing the eviction, Occupy Atlanta set up shop at the endangered homeless shelter, the Metro Atlanta Task Force for the Homeless. They have their own space on the fourth floor.\n'They are living with us. We are working with them to integrate them into our processes to learn how we can best benefit from their political insights and knowledge. It's a long-term process for us,' Anita Beaty, executive director of the Task Force, said.\nRon Allan, an activist with Occupy Atlanta, said they have set up an orientation and screening process to make sure no one staying there, homeless or not, has mental health or violence issues that would endanger others, and to ensure that they're there to participate, not just for the free food and shelter.\nHomeless activists 'are providing essential services in order for us to be successful in Occupy Atlanta. Their availability to participate in marches and rallies... to volunteer... has been invaluable,' Allan told IPS.\n'We have individuals part of this movement that possess an extreme amount of talent,' La'Markus Cook, also with Occupy Atlanta, agreed. 'Even the unsheltered that are a part of this movement are providing us with an invaluable service, and we are grateful to their availability and commitment to this movement.'\n<p><a href=\"http://www.globalissues.org/news/2011/12/12/12194\">U.S.: Homeless Play Key Role in Occupy Movement</a>, <cite>Inter Press Service</cite>, Monday, December 12, 2011 (posted by Global Issues)</p>\nU.S.: Homeless Play Key Role in Occupy Movement, Inter Press Service , Monday, December 12, 2011 (posted by Global Issues)",

        "raw_content": "Bush Plan for Palestine: Democracy Before Statehood\nIndia Flirting with Disaster\nLikud Votes for Armageddon\nWashington has a Moral Responsibility to Prevent War in South Asia\nThis article was published in The Globalist, Dawn (Pakistan), Foreign Policy in Focus (US), Scoop (New Zealand) and the\nMuslim Observer\nIndia is playing a highly risky game of brinkmanship in Kashmir. Its recent deployment of forces along the line of control (LoC), the de facto border between India and Pakistan in Kashmir, and the extremely provocative rhetoric from Delhi have brought the region closer to a nuclear war than ever before.\nIndia is probably betting that it can use the new international environment created by the American campaign against terror in the aftermath of 9/11 as a window of opportunity to not only suppress the Kashmiri uprising, but to also punish Pakistan for supporting and aiding the Kashmiri cause.\nIts geopolitical gamesmanship notwithstanding, India does not want a war. Its leaders and most of its population understand that this is a war that they cannot win. India, which has a 3:1 advantage over Pakistan in conventional forces, a 7:1 advantage in manpower, and nearly a 10:1 advantage in economics, can easily overwhelm Pakistan in a conventional war. Both nations are aware of this fact. This reality implies that in order to defend itself Pakistan must immediately resort to nuclear weapons at the onset of war. Sure India will respond, and will probably wipe Pakistan from the map, but with it will go Bombay, maybe Delhi, and much of the population of Western and Northern India. While India may destroy Pakistan, it is highly unlikely that India will politically survive the conflict. It will most probably fragment into a failed state like Somalia. Its triumphant citizens, already poor, will be struggling with even greater poverty, as well as radiation and environmental problems.\nMost people are aware of the devastating possibilities that I have sketched. So why, all of a sudden, is India acting so belligerently and risking disaster? There are two reasons why India is indulging in this dangerous game.\nIndia has expressed outrage about the recent deaths of civilians in the conflict zone, where sadly the loss of innocent lives is routine. But such outrage serves to distract public attention from the massacre in Gujarat earlier this year. In March, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government, which rules at the Federal level, orchestrated a brutal massacre and arson of nearly three thousand of its own citizens in Gujarat, a state that it also governs.\nIn the past two months, India's ruling party has been the target of international outrage and condemnation for its involvement in and mishandling of the Gujarat massacre. The domestic press as well as the international press was carrying story after story of government complicity in the massacre of Muslims in Gujarat, before and after the tragedy. The BJP--which had lost several regional elections last year--needs a \"Lewinsky\" to take away the focus from its failure in Gujarat and rally the nation behind it. The prospect of war with archenemy Pakistan is the answer to BJP's domestic woes.\nU.S. Rhetoric on Terror\nThe second reason is the new environment fostered by Washington's diplomatic and rhetorical war on terror. Encouraged by Washington's attitude of sacrificing rights and trampling democracy (at home and abroad) in its \"war on terror,\" nations like India and Israel now feel emboldened to use force and the threat of force to suppress legitimate struggles for freedoms. The Israeli incursions into the West Bank and the Jenin fiasco are a direct consequence of America's rhetoric about fighting terror. India's brinkmanship that at present threatens a nuclear war, which could lead to hundreds of millions of deaths in the region and a global environmental catastrophe, may well be the next consequence. The thinking in Delhi is that if the U.S. and Israel can use military force in response to terror, then why can't India? If Israel can enter the West Bank and the U.S. can occupy Afghanistan, then why cannot India cross the line of control in Kashmir?\nThis means very simply that Washington has a moral responsibility to undo the crisis in South Asia. A crisis that has emerged because Delhi has been emboldened by Washington to act like Washington.\nThere are two goals that Defense Secretary Rumsfeld must pursue during his forthcoming visit to South Asia. Firstly he must try to ensure that India does not cross the actual line of control. He must convince India that Washington's rhetoric on terror is not a license to begin nuclear conflicts.\nHe must also take steps to prevent accidental war initiation. This will require not only diplomatic efforts but also sharing satellite intelligence about troop movements at the LoC to let the two nations have real time knowledge of each other's troops. Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld could also suggest the introduction of international monitors (perhaps under UN purview) to patrol the LoC. Such a force will not only separate the two forces, but will also effectively seal the border and stem cross-border activities by Jihadi and Kashmiri militants.\nSecondly, Washington must brush aside India's refusal to allow American involvement and immediately bring the two nations to the negotiating table. The object of these talks would be to convince India to resolve the Kashmir issue democratically and in compliance with international laws and resolutions. At least some positive steps in this direction must be taken by India, which would give Kashmiris the hope that talks and not tanks will serve their cause.\nJihadis Must be Dismantled\nPakistan must reciprocate by quickly and effectively putting the Jihadis out of business. These groups are a national security threat to both India and Pakistan and a grave danger to the future of the region. The Jihadi groups are determined to cause trouble. They are trying to destabilize Musharraf's government. The attacks on the French workers as well as the attacks in Kashmir are their revenge against Musharraf for his U-turn when the U.S. demanded Pakistani cooperation in operation Enduring Freedom. India's saber rattling only aggravates the situation. It weakens Musharraf and exaggerates the impact of the Jihadis. It is imperative that India and the U.S. push to assist Musharraf in neutralizing the Jihadis' influence and capabilities.\nPakistan has very few options really. Either it risks a civil war by aggressively disarming the militants that operate out of Pakistan, or it risks an unlimited nuclear war with India. If Pakistan cannot control activities within its own borders, then it must let India cross the LoC and do the job.\nPresident Bush probably never anticipated that fighting a war on terror entailed peacekeeping in the most troublesome of neighborhoods. This time it is South Asia that interrupts his crusade, demanding his services as a peace broker.",

        "raw_content": "A summit of Chile's security forces chiefs have met in Santiago to discuss their former commander's continuing detainment in London.\nThe leaders of the army, navy, air force and police constitute the National Security Council, a body that has met only five times since Chile's return to Parliamentary rule in 1990.\nIt is widely believed the Council assembled after the Spanish magistrate Garzon stated his intention to extradite and interrogate 30 alleged human rights abusers who served under General Augusto Pinochet during his years of power in Chile between 1973 and 1990.\nUsing Pinochet's indictment and arrest as a precedent, the army are concerned Garzon's investigation may be expanded to try their entire institution for the 94 Spanish nationals killed under military rule, most notably the Spanish diplomat, Carmelo Soria.\nThe head of Chile's armed forces, Ricardo Izurieta - appointed in March following Pinochet's retirement and subsequent self-appointment of senator for life - has proclaimed the General's prolonged stay in London as 'unacceptable'.\nIzurieta later held a conference with 23 Generals to consider their response to the Pinochet dilemma which has until now been only muted grumblings within their constitutional limits.\nChile's military acknowledged the existence of diplomatic real-politique, but evidence is growing that their patience with Chilean President Eduardo Frei and his attempts to bring Pinochet home is growing precariously thin.\nThe very existence of the National Security Council - which operates irrespective of the parliament - is a major bone of contention for the Chilean left and is seen by the right as ensuring a measure of continuity with the army involvement in the past.\nThe Council certainly possesses wide reaching powers and illustrates the army's considerable presence in Chile's power structure. It can arbitrarily declare a state of emergency which thus allows for the suspension of the 1980 constitution and the immediate imposition of martial law.\nChile has the highest level of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) spent on the army anywhere in Latin America which at 3.5 per cent cannot be reduced due to legislation introduced by Pinochet that will remain on the statute books indefinitely.\nA similar law states that 10 per cent of the revenue from the national copper firm CODELCO be spent on arms purchases which currently stands at around $400m US annually.\nUnlike neighbouring post-junta Argentina - which has drastically reduced its army to around 30,000 - Chile's combined force of professional and conscript soldiers currently stands at 120,000.\nThe historical rivalry between Chile and Argentina stems from a series of territorial disputes involving the remote region of Patagonia and Islands of the Beagle Channel on the southern most points of the continent. The latter issue almost led to war in the early 1980's until it was peacefully resolved after the direct mediation of the current Pope-Jean Paul II.\nThe vital part of the military elite ideology in both countries is their perception of geo-politics: namely the occupation, inhabitation and expansion of what they view as national territory. None other than General Pinochet himself wrote a book on geo-politics which, if nothing else, gives a valuable insight into his philosophical outlook alongside the more violent aspects of his views.\nPerhaps in order to put into practice his ideas of occupying all of Chile's territory, Pinochet spent $300 million on a vast road stretching across a virtually uninhabited swathe in the marshy southeast of Chile. This was seen as an unmitigated disaster. Not only did few people use the road, as it led to nowhere, but it was regularly prone to flooding and disintegration. Pinochet seemed to have a dedication to building rather aimless roads, going so far as to construct a personal motorway that linked his Presidential residence to the country's capital-Santiago.\nThe multi-million dollar residence itself caused such controversy on its completion 12 years ago that Pinochet and his wife Lucia had to delay their moving in.\nThe palace came complete with its own anti-aircraft gun emplacements, a fairly stark reminder that Pinochet came to power after he ordered planes to attack the Moneda palace on the morning of the coup on the 11th September 1973.\nPinochet prosecutors await next move in game of constitutional chess\nWhy was a British journalist murdered in Chile?",

        "raw_content": "With the new forums on the way, we have a great opportunity to change things up so that the forums and community are able to better provide what we all want. Share and discuss what you'd like to see, whether it's getting rid of or tweaking something that's existed on GSAR, or adding something new!\nSuggestions can be made, for instance, with a mind towards improving functionality, layout, the clan system, the general way things get done, or anything else. Major changes as well as minor ones are welcome!\nA personal wish is for an expandable (or at least larger) text box for forum posts. I've found the GSAR one restrictive when making longer posts, making it hard to see much text at once and forcing a decent bit of scrolling.\nA few others I've seen from #forum_reboot are:\nNaming the GS subforum GSAR\nBringing back the Clubs section\nPutting a focus on JRPGs\nIgnatius, on 20 May 2018 - 03:26 AM, said:\nYep, definitely want this!\nLess Wrrrtws.\nThey practically ruined the last forum.\nWhile I am 100% behind bringing back the four-clan system, I am going to suggest leaving out the associated clan points system. I have observed during our time on this forum that the points system hasn't really done anything to substantially boost activity. In fact, to the opposite effect, it has sometimes become divisive and unnecessarily complicated, such as during the Expedition Into the Mist campaign and when awarding contest prizes.\nIn my opinion, the clan system is enough of an asset to our community by itself, as it allows members to develop small-group identities/dynamics, as well as engage in a collective world-building project.\nKirigishi, on 24 May 2018 - 01:37 AM, said:\nClan Points were not awarded for the Expedition into the Mists game, so I don't think that system can be blamed for how that played out. I think these are two issues distinct enough that they can be addressed separately (although, with both being clan-centric at their core, there is necessarily a transferable effect in how they're perceived). For EitM, the problem was in the nature of how the competition was designed compared to what people wanted - the 'direct' competition where groups have incentives to improve their standing in such a way that directly, negatively impacts other groups, did not play out well due to varying assumptions as to how the game should be played. My suggestion for future improvement there would be to be more cautious in the future when considering such 'direct' competition between the groups, and to make sure everyone's on the same page if we do venture in that direction.\nThe Clan Point system we developed did have its issues, but I'm not convinced those issues are enough to warrant jumping right to getting rid of a similar system entirely. I think we should still have some sort of 'reward' system for activity, and I can still see group points being a part of that, but we'd have to improve the system.\nThe reward system of Clan Points seemed to have some positive effects, in my eyes, for the first era or two, until the novelty wore off. It was too easy for activity (and thus the rewards) to become imbalanced between clans, to the point where it would soon seem that certain clans were out of contention for any 'rewards' apart from the Clan Points themselves. And those Clan Points didn\u2019t translate very well into clan pride, bragging rights or other benefits unless you finished in first place, a spot primarily taken up by the same two clans over all four eras. Possible improvements that come to mind:\nA system that better rewards activity for groups or individuals who won't end up at the top of a leaderboard. Maybe provide some sort of bonus once certain thresholds are reached, in the form of group points, medals (see below), coins if we still have a worthwhile coin system, perks in other ongoing activities, etc.\nReducing the number of total groups from our standard four, to try and keep the groups more balanced and to keep each one more active - we are obviously looking to grow our community through this migration, but it's hard to develop and maintain small-group identities and pride with just a couple of active members per group. Although four does seem to be some sort of magic number in JRPGs...\nNerfing amounts of points awarded for pure posting, instead giving more emphasis to participation in activities and events\nPart of such a redesigned system could maybe include a more extensive medal area? I really like the aesthetics of the banners/drapey cloth things we have here, but they only hold 4 medals, which has restricted how often they're awarded. I think it could be nice if we gave them out a bit more liberally, for participating in/winning certain events or activities - BGO, Mafia, CAH, roleplays/worldbuilding - and/or for reaching milestones like hitting a certain post count during a post bomb, creating X number of topics, etc. This would have an added bonus of giving newcomers a quick idea of what kinds of activities the community hosts and values, just by looking at someone's list of medals.\nAs the one who probably awarded most of the Clan Points, I also disagree that it was overly complicated. We set up a standard table to refer to, and then made things up on the fly for special events that weren't in the table. It wasn't perfect, and it required some tweaking as we went along, but I didn't find the logistics of the system too difficult (says the guy who didn't have to come up with the balancing formulae). So, although I wouldn't wholly object to doing away with group points, at least to start, I don't think we necessarily have to strike a group point-like system off our list of possibilities - and I do think that we should keep some sort of reward system for activity.\nMaybe we could do user-defined groups instead of clans. The 2004-2005 GSAR RP forum did this with middling success (it became overly-competitive, my bad), but I think done correctly (ie by adults and not 13-year-olds) it will go fine.\nWhat do you mean by \"user-defined groups\"?\nClubs with their own subforums / permission masks to see their subforums. Anyone can start one and set their own rules for joining / what the group activities are.\nOkay, I'm down for these.\nAs for the number of groups-- Maybe three, then? This will somewhat reduce the possibilities for inter-clan dynamics during worldbuilding, but I see your point about trying to keep all the groups active. From my experience, a core of three or four active members per group is enough to really drive group identity, and by my estimate we have about the right amount to make three groups solidly happen. We just need to be careful about the balancing. (Also keep in mind that we are hoping to build our member base, if only slightly.)\n@Ryu: Members will definitely be able to set up clubs for various activities non-specific to the Refuge, but I do feel pretty strongly about us maintaining a forum-wide system. Of course, members won't be required to join a clan, but I think such a system is important for our larger community identity.\nKirigishi, on 24 May 2018 - 01:47 PM, said:\nbut I do feel pretty strongly about us maintaining a forum-wide system.\nWhat meaning are you attributing to \"forum-wide system\" that would include our current clans but exclude these clubs? My understanding of the suggestion is that they would fill a very similar niche, but with clubs being more chaotic, haha.\nRyu Gaia, on 24 May 2018 - 07:24 AM, said:\nHmmmm. I'm definitely down for clubs, but I'm not sure about them existing on the same level as our current clan system. It's an intriguing idea that could give rise to interesting intergroup dynamics. But I would be concerned about fluctuating numbers of groups with non-equivalent scopes making competitions even more lopsided, which would be a problem if competitions were to continue. Another possible problem is that if these clubs were centered around certain shared interests and activities, they could limit inter-club interaction and exclude others from stuff they'd be interested in, especially if private forums are involved. For example, if there's a Gaming Club - everyone here likes gaming in some form or another. How much gaming-related stuff are non-members not going to see/get to participate in/feel like an outsider while participating in? Can you give examples of the scopes of clubs you have in mind/what clubs people came up with before?\nAh, I see that in retrospect, \"club\" was the wrong word for it.\nOn the GSAR RP forums, the \"clans\" were made up by the users. I ran the Sol Army; Tinder ran The Four Realms; someone else ran the Shinobi Clan, etc. There were maybe a dozen \"clans,\" and anyone could start one (although I think you might have needed a certain number of posts or to meet some other condition before you could). They weren't clubs in the sense of being focused on a narrow interest, but they weren't clans in the sense of necessarily belonging to a shared mythos (or to the elemental clan structure of Golden Sun---in fact, there weren't any elemental clans at all). People would have the freedom to instantiate mythology as they pleased in RP, of course.\n@Ryu: Would members be allowed to join more than one group at a time? I can't help but imagine a bunch of groups cropping up because their founders get inspired one day, only for the group to never grow beyond one or two members, and then to die out within two or three weeks. Seems a bit \"chaotic\", as Ig put it.\nIgnatius, on 28 May 2018 - 09:21 PM, said:\n\"Forum-wide\" probably wasn't the best word for what I was going for either. But basically a system where certain overarching parameters are already put into place before members start to explore and develop their groups. On this current forum, for example, the clan system was pre-defined as having four clans, all set in a fictional world governed by Golden Sun physics. A common world map was applied to all groups for world-building purposes, and we even launched forum-wide world-building campaigns. These kinds of activities, as well as the basic level of organization overseen by the staff, are elements I feel we should keep.\nNo, each member could only join one. There was a little chaos because clan membership was pretty flexible overall, but it could also be up to each clan to decide conditions of joining.\nMy one request: More emotes. We need more emotes.\nAnother option is to not make rewards automatic for the group that does the best at certain competitions, but instead use a weighted chance-based draw to determine the victor. To use a common GSAR competition as an example, if Telluria made 16 posts over a week, while Draconis, Samudran and Aeolia made 8 each, the latter three would still would have a 8/(16+8+8+8) = 1/5 chance each of winning the Lighthouse Cup and the Clan Points associated with it, while Telluria, which made the most posts, would have a 2/5 chance. Something like that.",

        "raw_content": "A director is someone who owns the frying pan\nRobert Gli\u0144ski - the stage director, the lecturer and Gdynia Film School teaching curriculum creator - asked by Monika Rogo about his views on the young cinematography perspectives, romantic comedies and frayes nerves of a contemporary filmmaker.\nQuentin Tarantino once said: '[...] when I\u2019m writing a script, this is sacred to me; yet, when I\u2019m making a movie, I fuck the script.'\nI typically write a script three times. First time, it is a normal writing on paper before filming. During the filming, I write it for the second time. This is the moment Tarantino had in mind. During filming, lifeless frames are assuming real shapes and many new ideas are offered by actors or cameramen \u2013 the script is being filled with density. It is changing. The director needs to be open to these changes. I write the script for the third time during montage. As you can see, each script has three versions out of which the third one is the most important. This one goes to the screen. This is why Kie\u015blowski loved the montage stage, which provides the final version of the movie. A script is not a Bible \u2013 you need to alter it. It is a raw material used to create a movie. It is not a finite form but should be constantly developed in the process of film making.\nIs there a film genre which is mistreated or abandoned by the Polish filmmakers? And, on the contrary, are there any genres that Polish filmmakers specialize in?\nRomantic comedy is a genre Polish filmmakers specialize in, or actually, attempt to specialize in. They only attempt as the outcomes are poor. None of the Polish romantic comedies is funny and there is very little romanticism in them. Polish romantic comedies have very much in common with soap operas \u2013 drama-like pulps of stumbling content. Therefore, the Polish cinematography actually specializes in... soap operas. Films for children have been practically abandoned. No ambitious movies for young viewers are created in Poland these days. Andrzej Maleszka creates something of this kind once in a while and he should be praised for this. Yet, one swallow does not make a summer.\nWhat is the direction young filmmakers are heading to? Do you think that films that are being made now will be considered classic in the future?\nYoung filmmakers are different. Some of them are traditional diligently following the principles of art and staging clarity. Others, the so-called 'scatterbrains' believe that chaotic forms are of highest quality. Some are interested in history, others prefer contemporary topics. Some are lazy and need to be pushed to create a movie. Yet, there are also workhorses. Sometimes they make good movies and sometimes bad. Frankly speaking, they are exactly the same as they older colleagues. This is why I hit the roof when I hear about the division into young and old. The young are supposed to be fantastic while the old belong to the trash bin. It is a kind of racism. I have not encountered such division anywhere else in the world as it is simply not politically correct.\nTherefore, I believe that a classic movie can be created by any director, no matter how old he or she is. The problem is that there is no clear-cut recipe for a classic movie. It is difficult to forsee whether a newly created movie will become classic or is damned for oblivion. During filming of the classic Rejs by Piwowski, everybody complained that this would be an awful flop. Also the comedies by Bareja are now considered classic and I remember that they were simply lambasted when they were first screened.\nIs there someone among the young directors who will make a big career and create movies significant to the Polish cinematography?\nThe only way to be successful is... to create movies. To create a significant movie you simply need to make movies. Eventually, one of them might turn out to be a success. Therefore, you should simply ask the question who of the young directors will continue to make movies. Which of them is stubborn enough and has elephant\u2019s skin? Which of them will not be frustrated after a bad review? Which of them will fight for the proper budget? I believe there are a number of such people but I shall not list their names here. I simply do not want to bring bad luck.\nWhat should a Polish film be like to stand a chance of winning international film festivals?\nIf I knew this... I would not tell you. But I don\u2019t know. I think it should be a movie about us, about our problems, our affairs and our uniqueness. If such uniqueness really exists. Film festival selectors are looking for such movies. And the prizes? They depend on many factors, but largely on the preference of the Jury. Let\u2019s keep in mind that prizes do not say much about the movies.\nWhat is the level of knowledge and maturity of graduates who attempt to pass film-school entry exams? Are they prepared for such mode of studying?\nThe level of graduates is miserable. They are not eager to learn about the world, the literature or the cinematography. They don\u2019t know who wrote Crime and Punishment but they do know where DJ Komo is playing tonight. They drink beer instead of vodka and go to bed before midnight because they are tired. The high school graduates of my youth discussed until dawn about 'the starry sky above me' and myriads of other issues. These days, graduates are not involved in such things and when they hear 'Kant', they understand 'can\u2019t'.\nDoes the scientific title obtained at the film school mean anything in the film-making industry?\nThe scientific title has nothing to do with creating movies. Wojciech Has had not even graduated from high-school and he made marvelous movies. However, the scientific title is indispensable if someone wants to become a lecturer.\nHow do you recognize a full-grown film-maker?\nI\u2019m not sure what creature is that \u2013 a full-grown film-maker? At first, I associated it with a full-grown apple. A one that has already started to rot here and there. Therefore, a full-grown film-maker is a tired one, someone who has already created a number of movies.And creating movies is a hard work, sometimes physical. You need to stand up at 5 a.m, hustle around the setting like crazy throughout the day, watch the materials in the evening or establish something with the actors. And on the following day \u2013 the same story again from dawn. And the result \u2013 you are fully-grown, have dark shades around your eyes and frayed nerves. If you make movies, you become full-grown very quickly... If you do not make movies, you become full-grown because you are stressed out because of it. In other words, vicious circle.\nWould you say that the profession of a filmmaker is still elite at the age of ubiquitous technology?\nThere is an opinion that anyone can make a movie. It is enough to buy a camera, gather some friends who will act for you, and there you go \u2013 you have a movie. I don\u2019t believe this is the case.If we have eggs and fat, we don\u2019t have scrambled eggs yet. We need to have a frying pan and heat. A director is someone who owns the frying pan, i.e. the skills. He knows how to use the eggs and the fat to obtain new quality from them. And above all, he has got the heat. Without the heat you will never obtain the scrambled eggs. The heat is the talent, the energy, the emotions and the personality. Therefore, I believe that not everybody is able to make movies.\nMore on Zwierciadlo.pl [Polish]\nKuchnia Mistrz\u00f3w - Robert Gli\u0144ski [Polish]",

From single-shots to revolvers to semiautomatics, there are many handguns designs and actions on the market today.\nThere are a few features that all handguns possess, however. Normally, handguns are characterized by the fact that they are designed to fit in one hand, with the other hand often being used for support. Handguns often have a shorter barrel than most rifles, have no stock and are designed for easy carry.\nDifferent types of handguns have distinguishing features, though.

        "title": "The Importance of Pest Control - Guru Techie",
        "raw_content": "Pest management and control refers to any system or measure that seeks to eliminate or manage the population of insects considered harmful to animal health and human and the atmosphere. Pest control needs a lot of work and resources but it is important, especially for homes. Here are the factors why pest management is vital and why every homeowner should consider applying it:\nStop damage to structures and home\nIn the American, people spend about five billion for repair damages caused by terminate infestation. Termites use wood and wood products such as paper and plyboard. Once they have burrowed into wood parts of the home, they can eat floorings, beams and walls from the inside. This makes the structure vulnerable and weak to collapse, leaving household members at a danger. Terminate infestation can be mainly problematic in older structures and homes that have not been treated. In areas where termites are called pests, managing a home to keep it secure from terminates needs constant vigilance and help from pest control agencies.\nPets can cause a variety of problems in people, such as asthma, skin allergies, and other respiratory issues. Mosquitoes and bed bugs, for example, are notorious for causing skin rashes. Pests can also carry different allergens that can cause powerful allergic reactions in some people. Cockroaches, for instance, can cause allergies in at least seven percent of the population. They are also one of the best causes of asthma in children. Learn more about pest control services visit Pest Control Providence, Utah.\nRejecting diseases and other health dangerous\nSkin infections, leprosy, Lyme disease, urinary tract infections, dysentery dengue, intestinal infections, food and malaria poisoning are just a few of the diseases and health issues that pests can cause. They also carry a number of viruses and bacteria that can affect animal and human health. Although many of these diseases are treatable, they can cause serious health problems in kids, the elderly and immune-comprised individuals, many of whom will need expert medical hospitalization and treatment. That, in turn can translate to millions of dollar in medical costs.\nStopping damage and deterioration of carpets, furniture and clothes\nPest control has to be applied in order to save carpets, furniture, and clothing and reject the expenses linked with replacements and repairs. Burrowing insects are notorious for causing damage to the fabric and wooden parts of furniture. Some, such as moths, carpet bugs, silverfish and cockroaches are also attracted to fabric, often using it as a food source.\nMaintenance of food supply\nFood supply is critical to the survival of the globe populations. On a macroeconomic level, it also influences the globe economies and supports majority of today\u2019s active ingredients. Without right pest management, also twenty-percent of our food supply will be wasted due to use of rodents. Each year, millions of dollars value of food is lost to rodent infestation and attacks. By controlling the danger, it is possible to keep food supplies at helpful and manageable levels. On the homefront, implementing pest control measures can help stop food waste and contamination.\nAs a wine enthusiast, you probably know how important it is to keep your inventory in a temperature-controlled environment. This can be accomplished by storing the wine in underground cellars and regularly monitoring the temperature and humidity. Whether your home is equipped with a cellar or you are turning to professionals to create a custom [\u2026]\nItaly has been the dream destination for almost everyone. There are several things that you need to consider when planning for a trip to Italy. You need to decide the right time to visit this city, places to visit, things to carry, accommodation and many more things. Advance preparation will help you in perfect execution [\u2026]",

        "raw_content": "As you may or may not know, we had the pleasure of seeing Refused this past weekend in NYC! When we booked the trip, we had no idea that they would be visiting our great city this summer. However, as we told you, they will be making a stop at Royal Oak Music Theatre on July 25th! And surprisingly this is one of the only US dates that hasn't sold out yet! We're really not sure how it isn't sold out and after seeing the show over the weekend, we're REALLY NOT SURE how this show is not sold out. It was amazing, to say the least.\nOne thing that had me down at the NYC show was that the openers weren't as good as the San Fransisco shows. San Fran had the pleasure of also seeing two of my all time favorites... The Bronx and The Hives! When my friends heard that line up, they said it was like the show was made for me! I tried my hardest, but couldn't score those tickets. However, I guess someone was looking out for my pockets because The Hives just announced that they too will be making their way to the Detroit area this summer!!! They will be playing on June 27th at Clutch Cargos in Pontiac. Pre-Sale is at 10 a.m. Thursday morning and regular sale is at 10 a.m. on Friday! So many Swedes in so little time!\nThe Hives are touring in support of their new album, Lex Hives, set to be released on June 5th. The band has already played some U.S. dates, the dates supporting Refused, as well as Coachella and then tomorrow night in NYC. (Wish I knew that before I booked my trip for the days leading up to Refused!) While in the U.S. the band also made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel! Here are the videos from their performance:\nIf you have never seen The Hives live before, I highly recommend that you check them out. By far one of the best live bands I have ever seen. This television performance really didn't do them much justice.\nThe first time I had the pleasure of seeing this band live was at The Shelter when they opened up for The (International) Noise Conspiracy. Prior to the band going on stage, they just looked like some normal indie rock dudes walking around with giant scarves. Once they hit the stage, everyone's mind was blown. From their classy threads with a letter for each member of the band, to their high energy performance, everyone in the crowd kept saying two things...\"Who the fuck are these guys?\" and \"I Love Sweden!\" At least everyone by me kept saying those two things. Every time I saw this band from that point on was awesome. The lights, the clothes, the swagger and the music make this band one like no other.\nI leave you with a slightly better representation of The Hives Live, but it's still not as good as the real thing. Do yourself a favor. Put a reminder in your phone to buy tickets this Friday. I guarantee you will not be disappointed!\nLabels: Clutch Cargos, Refused, Swedes, The Hives",

        "title": "Newt Gingrich's Attack on Poor Children: A Poor Family's Perspective",
        "raw_content": "Over the past two weeks I\u2019ve noticed a lot of social media anger and teasing directed towards Rick Perry\u2019s recent \u201cStrong\u201d commercial wherein he gripes about gays being able to serve openly in the military but children not being allowed to pray publicly in school. Around the same time another Republican made an equally prejudice and cruel comment regarding \u201creally poor children, in really poor neighborhoods [who] have no habits of working and have nobody around them who works\u201d, the \u201cstupidity\u201d of child labor laws, and the idea that poor children should become janitors in their schools. I\u2019m surprised that Newt Gingrich\u2019s speech hasn\u2019t created as strong of an outrage considering how completely insensitive and ridiculous the speech was. When I first heard quotes from his speech on NPR, I couldn\u2019t believe what I was hearing. Was it a joke? How could somebody be so thoughtless and downright mean?\nI took particular offense to Gingrich\u2019s speech because I came from what one could call a poor family. I lived with a single mother who made poverty level income. We qualified for aid and food stamps, but we were able to scrape by without having to tap into the system thanks to the love and support of our family. I did not come from the \u201cpoor neighborhoods\u201d that Newt speaks of. It\u2019s fair to say that Newt was very blatantly insinuating children of non-white decent. I came from a working middle class neighborhood. My mother worked for her mother. Besides having no money, I did have advantages that some children from low income families did not have. All in all, I had a very wonderful childhood within our economic confines, but it could have been a very different story if we weren\u2019t so lucky.\nMy mother didn\u2019t plan on making $18,000 a year. Like many people in the late 1960\u2019s, she worked for the family business, which doesn\u2019t always pay well. What she got in return of little pay was the ability to take off whatever time she needed to pick me up from school and go to my sports games and concerts; to take off whatever time she needed in lieu of my father who had left us. My Mom didn\u2019t plan on going to community college, but rather wanted to go to FIT which was promptly shot down by her guidance counselor and family in 1967. My mother didn\u2019t plan on my father leaving her. Her grand vision of family quickly crumbled after I was born and my Dad wanted out. My mother didn\u2019t plan on the family business going under and her looking for a job at 50 in a economically-troubled town of 20,000 people.\nMaybe you can argue with, \u201cWell, she could have planned better!\u201d But one doesn\u2019t expect for the husband to go away the business to go away and the possibilities drying up the older you get. My Mom budgeted and made the right choices, but even making the right choices doesn\u2019t guarantee you anything.\nSo my family was poor, but you know what? My Mom made me start working the second it was legally possible. Of course I grew up working in the family business as well, but when I hit 16, it was time to make money for myself. I didn\u2019t want to, but after a short period of time, I loved working. Even then I was thankful that my mother made me work. It made me feel independent and it challenged me. I\u2019ve never stopped working since. Throughout high school and college, I worked. After college, I went straight into a career. I\u2019ve never not been working and even though at various points I\u2019ve hated my job, I could never imagine just giving up.\nI may not be a millionaire but because of the work ethic my mother instilled in me I\u2019ve gotten to see more places and meet more people than most. If she didn\u2019t teach me the idea that I could be whatever I wanted to be, I wouldn\u2019t be where I am today and I kind of like the person I am.\nAside from thinking of my mother and all her hard work through the years when listening to Gingrich\u2019s words, I thought about my friends growing up who had similar, if not more challenging predicaments. My friend Alex whose Mom worked three jobs to support her children. They lived in a small apartment near grade school until the mother made enough money to buy a house for her family. I thought about the 5 person family who lived in the studio apartment across the hall from me in LA. The father always heading off to work to ensure that his family ate and had a roof over their heads. I thought of the people I\u2019ve met and the stories I\u2019ve heard where people came from humble beginnings and came out ahead because their parents taught them to be responsible and to work hard.\nI thought of all these things and the words that came out of Newt\u2019s lips made me more and more angry.\nI called my mother to see how she felt about Gingrich\u2019s speech and as a fairly avid news watcher, she hadn\u2019t heard about it.\nMe: Did you hear about Newt Gingrich and his statements about child labor laws and children from low income homes?\nMom: No, what now?\nMe: He said that poor children have no habit of working because nobody around them works and he feels that to help this problem children should become janitors in their schools.\nMom: Oh my God.\nMe: I wanted to talk about this with you considering that when I was growing up, we were considered poverty level.\nMom: Where does he get his info from? That\u2019s ridiculous. You can\u2019t categorize people like that. Attitude towards working has nothing to do with which class you\u2019re in. What about the rich kids that don\u2019t want to work? They get used to their parents bailing them out. Why don\u2019t they work as janitors?\nMe: What do you think would happen if you forced the low income students to become janitors?\nMom: Kids are self-conscious at that age as is. Unfortunately kids think that being a janitor as not a glamorous job. That mentality would ostracize them, make them stand out, and it could lead to them dropping out. Janitorial work is an honorable and important job, but you know how kids are. When I was a kid, we volunteered. Make all the damn kids volunteer, for crying out loud.\nMe: How does this speech make you feel?\nMom: It\u2019s ridiculous. We poor people work our asses off. Every poor person I know busts their butt in order to survive. I thought Republicans were all about the government being less intrusive? This is very intrusive.\nMe: Anything else you want to add?\nMom: This is all hogwash.\nMe: And\u2026\nMom: I don\u2019t want to talk about it anymore, it\u2019s making me mad.\nMe: Ha. Ok, Mom.\nMom: Oh, and don\u2019t make me sound stupid on your blog, ok?\nI wish I could have gotten a little more from my mother but the speech mostly made her super angry and worked up. Which is exactly how I feel. Between Perry and Gingrich and the other racist and prejudice jargon that have come from many of the Republican candidates\u2019 lips, it infuriates me that that mentality still exists in America.\nattack on poor childrencareerchild labor lawsfeaturedlow income assistanceMomNewt GingrichNewt Gingrich's speech about poor children\nReply\tKellyn D December 15, 2011 at 6:36 pm\nThis seriously sounds EXACTLY like myself and my mom! We were super poor growing up. My mom raised me and my two siblings on minimum wage, which was $4.75. She had a TON of extra jobs cleaning houses and office buildings. All that woman did was work. I learned so much about financial independence from my mom. I work hard and don\u2019t rely on anyone but myself for money. My siblings are the same way.\nIt may just be me but all of the Republican candidates seem really out of touch with reality. I don\u2019t understand how people aren\u2019t completely rejecting them and their hateful views. Politics these days make me so angry/upset/confused/worried about the future.\nReply\tEG December 15, 2011 at 7:32 pm\nTotally agree and want to throw up. I hate that they always protect the rich when so many of the \u201crich\u201d have no work ethic whatsoever. They inherit it alot of the time and are lazy and drug addled. Where\u2019s the outrage against those losers? Give the poor a break! Working at Walmart is not a job that pays the bills, but at least they are working and trying to get by with maybe even more than 1 job. I have always worked since I was 14 as well. My mom\u2019s best advice, while it sounds harsh is true \u201cNever depend on a man for money.\u201d\nReply\tMademoiselle HauteMess December 16, 2011 at 3:20 am\nI couldn\u2019t agree more! I was LIVID when I saw Newt Gingrich\u2019s speech. My father was from a below poverty level family of 10. My grandfather was the custodian at the Catholic School, and my father used to mow grass and shovel snow at the school just to pay for his book bill. But that was on top of the other paying jobs he needed to have to help contribute. The school forcing him to work just became a second job for him\u2026on top of being a full time student. That didn\u2019t instill work ethic. That punished him for being from a lower income family. He worked his ass off regardless \u2013 because that is how he was raised.\nUGH. My fam got worked up, too!\nReply\tEmily James December 17, 2011 at 3:38 am\nI have a stack of 70+ letters written by my 9th grade students to Newt Gingrich after they watched his comments.\nThis is my 6th year teaching students from low income families in New York\nCity public high schools, and the statements made by mr. Gingrich were\nextraordinarily offensive to me because of their fallaciousness. As a\nteacher of writing I work hard with my students to help derail stereotypes\nthat are held by many people around the country. It is so disappointig to\nhave someone who feels he is of enough value to become the commander in\nchief of out entire nation make such incorrect, ignorant and blanketed\nstatements without apology. We have published books (Dangerously Defined\nhttp://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/dangerously-defined/5482846) and\nworked diligently to undo the harmful and stagnating misconceptions that\nhis words are reinforcing. And myself- growing up in a middle to upper\nclass suburb as a caucasian woman,the biggest learning experience for me\nthese past years has been discovering how much more determined and\ndedicated these students are at such a young age than i was- without a lot\nof the economic support that I had.\nThis year, My 9th grade class at Brooklyn Preparatory High School has an\nattendance rate over 90%. Students have to travel up to 2 hours using\ncrowded public transportation, many with one or more transfers just to get\nthere in the morning. They then wait in long lines to get through scanning\nas the building houses multiple schools within.\nOur school follows a model where Habits of Work are explicitly instructed\nand students are assessed based on their mastery of these habits within\neach content area. they are visible on every classroom wall. We call it\nlearning the ROPES. Resourcefulness, organization, perseverance, eagerness,\nand self awareness. If mr. Gingrich wants to help support the development\nof these habits, why not support the schools, educators and students who\nare in the process of mastering them already?\nReply\tKaren December 19, 2011 at 12:12 am\nGingrich has no check on reality. Most of us have stories of people struggling or have done it ourselves. My father went to work in the PA coal mines at age 12 (1930\u2019s) because he had to support his widowed blind mother (who mopped the floors of the local high school at night\u2026yes, and being blind doing so). BTW, her husband, my grandfather was killed in a mine cave-in. Together, with my uncle also working in the mines, they tried to survive and eat and be clothed. Would I wish that kind of hard labor on any child? Never. But how DARE Gingrich state that children growing up in poor areas don\u2019t know how to work. And how much of his MILLIONS has HE donated to help these poor communities? Shame on him and all of those candidates who treasure the rich and want to punish the poor. God help us if he is elected. (And thanks for letting me rant.)",

        "raw_content": "Occurring on the first and second days of the seventh month of the Jewish year, Rosh Hashanah is often called the Jewish New Year. In fact, the term actually means \u201cfirst \u2013 or head \u2013 of the year.\u201d While this may cause some people equate this holiday with the American New year, there is one important difference between the two. The American first of the year usually involves quite a bit of drinking and merriment, while the Rosh Hashanah is a more somber religious holiday.\nThis day is believed to be the anniversary for the creation of the first man and woman in the Garden of Eden \u2013 Adam and Eve. As such, it is a day that is filled with much religious introspection, but it is also a day filled with much joy.\nThe modern name of this holiday is never referenced in the Bible. Instead it is referred to as either Yom Ha-Zikkaron or Yom Teruah. It is placed into effect by a passage in Leviticus 23:24, which simply states: \u201cSpeak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a Sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation. Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall make an offering made by fire unto the Lord.\u201d\nObservances And Customs\nAbsolutely no work is allowed on this day. Most of the day is spent in prayer and in synagogue \u2013 where the daily liturgy is expanded upon for the holiday. Because of extensive liturgical changes, not only on this holiday but also on Yom Kippur, there is a special prayer book used called the Machzor.\nA popular practice exercised on this day is the practice of casting off (also called Tashlich). This is when believers walk to a flowing body of water, such as a creek, stream or river, and empty their pockets into the moving water. This is a symbolic shedding of sin. Before performing this practice, practitioners will often place little pieces of bread into their pockets in order to have something to \u2018cast off\u2019.\nAnother popular practice is a blowing of the Shofar \u2013 a ram\u2019s horn which is blown in much the same way as a trumpet. While the Bible gives no specific purpose for this ritual, it is believed to be used to wake practitioners out of their slumber and to prepare for the inevitable coming of judgement.\nDuring this holiday, there are many different foods that are eaten. These foods not only have historical significance but also have symbolic significance. For instance, apples are often dipped into honey to signify the wish for a sweet New Year. Other foods associated with this holiday include:\nPomegranates-to symbolize being fruitful.\nChallah Bread-to symbolize the year\u2019s cycle.\nRosh Hashana is not only a deeply religious day that should be observed with respect and humility, but it is also a joyous occasion that can not only allow practitioners feel closer to God, but also allow them to share their love and joy with their friends and family.\nWhere is Rosh Hashanah celebrated?\nArgentina, Canada, Israel, Australia, United kingdom, United states - Texas Show all 6 locations",

        "raw_content": "U.S. Chamber of Commerce Headquarters, Washington, D.C.\nTHE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much. Please, have a seat. Thank you very much, Tom, for the gracious introduction. I want to make a few other acknowledgments. To Tom Bell, the Chamber Board President, thank you for helping to organize this. There are some members of my administration I want to make sure are introduced. My Chief of Staff, Bill Daley, is here. (Applause.) Senior advisor Valerie Jarrett, who is interfacing with many of you and has gotten terrific advice from many of you, is here as well. Secretary Ray LaHood, our Transportation Secretary. Ambassador Ron Kirk, who is working hard to get trade deals around the world. Our Small Business Administration Administrator Karen Mills. My director of the National Economic Council, Gene Sperling, is here. And I also want to make mention, Fred Hochberg, our Export-Import Bank Chairman; Elizabeth Littlefield, the Overseas Private Investment Corporation President. And I also want to acknowledge a good friend, Paul Volcker, the outgoing chair of the President\u2019s Economic Recovery Advisory Board. Thank you all for being here. (Applause.)\nNow, Tom, it is good to be here today at the Chamber of Commerce. I\u2019m here in the interest of being more neighborly. (Laughter.) I strolled over from across the street, and look, maybe if we had brought over a fruitcake when I first moved in, we would have gotten off to a better start. (Laughter.) But I\u2019m going to make up for it.\nThe truth is, this isn\u2019t the first time I\u2019ve been to the Chamber, or the first time that we\u2019ve exchanged ideas. Over the last two years, I\u2019ve sought advice from many of you as we were grappling with the worst recession most of us have ever known. It\u2019s a recession that led to some very difficult decisions. For many of you, that meant restructuring and branch closings and layoffs that I know were very painful to make. For my administration, it meant a series of emergency measures that I would not have undertaken under normal circumstances, but that were necessary to stop our economy from falling off a cliff.\nNow, on some issues, like the Recovery Act, we\u2019ve found common cause. On other issues, we\u2019ve had some pretty strong disagreements. But I\u2019m here today because I am convinced, as Tom mentioned in his introduction, that we can and we must work together. Whatever differences we may have, I know that all of us share a deep, abiding belief in this country, a belief in our people, a belief in the principles that have made America\u2019s economy the envy of the world.\nAmerica\u2019s success didn\u2019t happen overnight, and it didn\u2019t happen by accident. It happened because [of] the freedom that has allowed good ideas to flourish, that has allowed capitalism to thrive; it happened because of the conviction that in this country hard work should be rewarded and that opportunity should be there for anybody who\u2019s willing to reach for it. And because it happened at every juncture in our history -- not just once, not just twice, but over and over again -- we came together to remake ourselves; we came together as one nation and did what was necessary to win the future. That is why I am so confident that we will win the future again.\nThat\u2019s the challenge that we face today. We still have, by far, the world\u2019s largest and most vibrant economy. We have the most productive workers, the finest universities and the freest markets. The men and women in this room are living testimony that American industry is still the source of the most dynamic companies, and the most ingenious entrepreneurs.\nBut we also know that with the march of technology over the last few decades, the competition for jobs and businesses has grown fierce. The globalization of our economy means that businesses can now open up a shop, employ workers and produce their goods wherever an Internet connection exists. Tasks that were once done by 1,000 workers can now be done by 100 or in some cases even 10. And the truth is, as countries like China and India and Brazil grow and develop larger middle classes, it\u2019s profitable for global companies to aggressively pursue these markets and, at times, to set up facilities in these countries.\nThese forces are as unstoppable as they are powerful. But combined with a brutal and devastating recession, these forces have also shaken the faith of the American people -- in the institutions of business and government. They see a widening chasm of wealth and opportunity in this country, and they wonder if the American Dream is slipping away.\nThey wonder if the middle class, rather than expanding as it has through our lifetimes, is in the midst of an inexorable contraction. And we can\u2019t ignore these concerns. We have to renew people\u2019s faith in the promise of this country \u2013- that this is a place where you can make it if you try. And we have to do this together: business and government; workers and CEOs; Democrats and Republicans.\nWe know what it will take for America to win the future. We need to out-innovate, we need to out-educate, we need to out-build our competitors. We need an economy that\u2019s based not on what we consume and borrow from other nations, but what we make and what we sell around the world. We need to make America the best place on Earth to do business.\nAnd this is a job for all of us. As a government, we will help lay the foundation for you to grow and innovate and succeed. We will upgrade our transportation and communication networks so you can move goods and information more quickly and more cheaply. We\u2019ll invest in education so that you can hire the most skilled, talented workers in the world. And we\u2019ll work to knock down barriers that make it harder for you to compete, from the tax code to the regulatory system.\nBut I want to be clear: Even as we make America the best place on Earth to do business, businesses also have a responsibility to America.\nI understand the challenges you face. I understand you are under incredible pressure to cut costs and keep your margins up. I understand the significance of your obligations to your shareholders and the pressures that are created by quarterly reports. I get it.\nBut as we work with you to make America a better place to do business, I\u2019m hoping that all of you are thinking what you can do for America. Ask yourselves what you can do to hire more American workers, what you can do to support the American economy and invest in this nation. That\u2019s what I want to talk about today \u2013- the responsibilities we all have -- the mutual responsibilities we have -- to secure the future that we all share.\nNow, as a country, we have a responsibility to encourage American innovation. I talked about this quite a bit at my State of the Union.\nCompanies like yours have always driven the discovery of new products and new ideas. You do it better than anybody. But what you also know is that it\u2019s not always profitable to -- in the short-term, at least -- for you to invest in basic research. It\u2019s very expensive, and the payoffs are not always clear and they\u2019re not always localized. And that\u2019s why government has traditionally helped invest in this kind of science, planting the seeds that ultimately grew into technologies from the computer chips to the Internet.\nThat\u2019s why we\u2019re making investments today in the next generation of big ideas -\u2013 in biotechnology, in information technology and in clean energy technology. We\u2019re reforming our patent system so innovations can move more quickly to market. Steve Case is heading up a new partnership called Startup America to help entrepreneurs turn new ideas into new businesses and new jobs. And I\u2019ve also proposed a bigger, permanent tax credit for all the research and development your companies do in this country. I believe that is a priority.\nWe also have a responsibility as a nation to provide our people with -- and our businesses -- with the fastest, most reliable way to move goods and information. The costs to business from outdated and inadequate infrastructure is enormous. And that\u2019s what we have right now -- outdated, inadequate infrastructure.\nAnd any of you that have been traveling to other countries, you know it, you see it, and it affects your bottom lines. That\u2019s why I want to put more people to work rebuilding crumbling roads, rebuilding our bridges. That\u2019s why I\u2019ve proposed connecting 80 percent of the country with high-speed -- to high-speed rail, and making it possible for companies to put high-speed Internet coverage in the reach of virtually all Americans.\nYou understand the importance of this. The fact is, the Chamber of Commerce and the AFL-CIO don\u2019t agree on a whole lot. Tom Donohue and Richard Trumka are not Facebook friends. (Laughter.) Well, maybe -- I don\u2019t think you are anyway. (Laughter.) I didn\u2019t check on this, but -- but they agree on the need to build a 21st-century infrastructure. And I want to thank the Chamber for pushing Congress to make more infrastructure investments, and to do so in the most cost-effective way possible: with tax dollars that leverage private capital, and with projects that are determined not by politics, but by what\u2019s best for our economy.\nThird responsibility that we have as a nation is to invest in the skills and education of our young people. If we expect companies to do business and hire in America, America needs a pool of trained, talented workers that can out-compete anybody in the world. And that\u2019s why we\u2019re reforming K-12 education; that\u2019s why we\u2019re training 100,000 new math and science teachers; that\u2019s why we\u2019re making college more affordable, and revitalizing our community college system.\nRecently I visited GE in Schenectady, which has partnered with a local community college. And while students train for jobs available at the nearby GE plant, they earn a paycheck and they\u2019ve got their tuition covered. And as a result, young people can find work, GE can fill high-skill positions, and the entire region has become more attractive to businesses. It\u2019s a win-win for everybody, and it\u2019s something we\u2019re trying to duplicate across the country.\nNow, to make room for these investments in education, in innovation, in infrastructure, government also has a responsibility to cut spending that we just can\u2019t afford. That\u2019s why I\u2019ve promised to veto any bill that\u2019s larded up with earmarks. That\u2019s why I\u2019ve proposed that we freeze annual domestic spending for the next five years. Understand what this means. This would reduce the deficit by more than $400 billion over the next decade, and bring this spending -- domestic discretionary spending -- down to the lowest share of our economy since Eisenhower was president. That was a long time ago.\nNow, it\u2019s not going to be enough. We\u2019re going to have to do more. Because the driving force on our deficits are entitlements spending. And that\u2019s going to require both parties to work together, because those are some tough problems that we\u2019re going to have to solve. And I am eager to work with both parties and with the Chamber to take additional steps across the budget to put our nation on a sounder fiscal footing.\nBy stopping spending on things we don\u2019t need, we can make investments in the things that we do need, the same way families do. If they\u2019ve got a fiscal problem, if they\u2019ve got to tighten their belt, they don\u2019t stop paying for Johnny to go to college. They cut out things they don\u2019t need, but they still make investments in the thing that are going to make sure we win the future. And that\u2019s what we have to do as a country: make some smart choices -- tough choices, but smart ones.\nNow, in addition to making government more affordable, we\u2019re also making it more effective and more consumer-friendly. We\u2019re trying to run the government a little bit more like you run your business -- with better technology and faster services. So in the coming months, my administration will develop a proposal to merge, consolidate and reorganize the federal government in a way that best serves the goal of a more competitive America. And we want to start with the 12 different agencies that deal with America\u2019s exports. If we hope to help our businesses sell more goods around the world, we should ensure we\u2019re all pulling in the same direction. And frankly, with 12 different agencies in charge, nobody is in charge. So we\u2019re going to fix that as an example of how we can make a government that\u2019s more responsive to the American people and to American businesses.\nWhich brings me to the final responsibility of government: breaking down some of the barriers that stand in the way of your success. As far as exports are concerned, that means seeking new opportunities and opening new markets for your goods. And I will tell you I will go anywhere anytime to be a booster for American businesses, American workers and American products. We recently signed -- (applause) -- and I don\u2019t charge a commission. (Laughter.)\nWe recently signed export deals with India and China that will support more than 250,000 jobs here in the United States. We finalized a trade agreement with South Korea that will support at least 70,000 American jobs. And by the way, it\u2019s a deal that has unprecedented support from business and labor, Democrats and Republicans. That\u2019s the kind of deal that I will be looking for as we pursue trade agreements with Panama and Colombia, as we work to bring Russia into the international trading system. Those are going to be our top priorities because we believe Americans have the best products and the best businesses, and if we\u2019re out there selling and we\u2019re out there hustling, there\u2019s no reason why we can\u2019t do a lot better than we\u2019re doing right now when it comes to our exports.\nNow, another barrier government can remove -- and I hear a lot about this from many of you -- is a burdensome corporate tax code with one of the highest rates in the world. You know how it goes: because of various loopholes and carve-outs that have built up over the years, some industries pay an average rate that is four or five times higher than others. Companies are taxed heavily for making investments with equity, yet the tax code actually pays companies to invest using leverage. As a result, you\u2019ve got too many companies ending up making decisions based on what their tax director says instead of what their engineer designs or what their factories produce. And that puts our entire economy at a disadvantage. We need something smarter, something simpler, something fairer. That\u2019s why I want to lower the corporate rate and eliminate these loopholes to pay for it, so that it doesn\u2019t add a dime to our deficit. And I\u2019m asking for your help in this fight. I think it can be done.\nWhich brings me to the last barriers we\u2019re trying to remove, and those are outdated and unnecessary regulations. I\u2019ve ordered a government-wide review, and if there are rules on the books that are needlessly stifling job creation and economic growth, we will fix them.\nAlready we\u2019re dramatically cutting down on the paperwork that saddles businesses with huge administrative costs. We\u2019re improving the way FDA evaluates things like medical devices, to get innovative and lifesaving treatments to market faster. And the EPA, based on the need for further scientific analysis, delayed the greenhouse gas permitting rules for biomass.\nI\u2019ve also ordered agencies to find ways to make regulations more flexible for small businesses. And we\u2019ve turned a tangle of fuel economy regulations and pending lawsuits into a single standard that will reduce our dependence on foreign oil, save consumers money at the pump and give car companies the certainty that they need -- all negotiated by the various stakeholders without the need for congressional legislation.\nBut ultimately, winning the future is not just about what the government can do for you to succeed. It\u2019s also about what you can do to help America succeed.\nSo we were just talking about regulations. Even as we eliminate burdensome regulations, America\u2019s businesses have a responsibility as well to recognize that there are some basic safeguards, some basic standards that are necessary to protect the American people from harm or exploitation. Not every regulation is bad. Not every regulation is burdensome on business. A lot of the regulations that are out there are things that all of us welcome in our lives.\nFew of us would want to live in a society without rules that keep our air and water clean; that give consumers the confidence to do everything from investing in financial markets to buying groceries. And the fact is, when standards like these have been proposed in the past, opponents have often warned that they would be an assault on business and free enterprise. We can look at the history in this country. Early drug companies argued the bill creating the FDA would \u201cpractically destroy the sale of \u2026 remedies in the United States.\u201d That didn\u2019t happen. Auto executives predicted that having to install seatbelts would bring the downfall of their industry. It didn\u2019t happen. The President of the American Bar Association denounced child labor laws as \u201ca communistic effort to nationalize children.\u201d That\u2019s a quote.\nNone of these things came to pass. In fact, companies adapt and standards often spark competition and innovation. I was travelling when I went up to Penn State to look at some clean energy hubs that have been set up. I was with Steve Chu, my Secretary of Energy. And he won a Nobel Prize in physics, so when you\u2019re in conversations with him you catch about one out of every four things he says. (Laughter.)\nBut he started talking about energy efficiency and about refrigerators, and he pointed out that the government set modest targets a couple decades ago to start increasing efficiency over time. They were well thought through; they weren\u2019t radical. Companies competed to hit these markers. And they hit them every time, and then exceeded them. And as a result, a typical fridge now costs half as much and uses a quarter of the energy that it once did -- and you don\u2019t have to defrost, chipping at that stuff -- (laughter) -- and then putting the warm water inside the freezer and all that stuff. It saves families and businesses billions of dollars.\nSo regulations didn\u2019t destroy the industry; it enhanced it and it made our lives better -- if they\u2019re smart, if they\u2019re well designed. And that\u2019s our goal, is to work with you to think through how do we design necessary regulations in a smart way and get rid of regulations that have outlived their usefulness, or don\u2019t work.\nI also have to point out the perils of too much regulation are also matched by the dangers of too little. And we saw that in the financial crisis, where the absence of sound rules of the road, that wasn\u2019t good for business. Even if you weren\u2019t in the financial sector it wasn\u2019t good for business. And that\u2019s why, with the help of Paul Volcker, who is here today, we passed a set of common-sense reforms.\nThe same can be said of health insurance reform. We simply could not continue to accept a status quo that\u2019s made our entire economy less competitive, as we\u2019ve paid more per person for health care than any other nation on Earth. Nobody is even close. And we couldn\u2019t accept a broken system where insurance companies could drop people because they got sick, or families went into bankruptcy because of medical bills.\nI know that folks here have concerns about this law. And I understand it. If you\u2019re running a business right now and you\u2019re seeing these escalating health care costs, your instinct is if I\u2019ve got even more laws on top of me, that\u2019s going to increase my costs even more. I understand that suspicion, that skepticism.\nBut the non-partisan congressional watchdogs at the CBO estimate that health care tax credits will be worth nearly $40 billion for small businesses over the next decade -- $40 billion, directly to small businesses who are doing the right thing by their employees.\nAnd experts \u2013- not just from the government, but also those commissioned by the Business Roundtable \u2013- suggest that health insurance reform could ultimately save large employers anywhere from $2,000 to $3,000 per family -- your employees and your bottom line.\nI\u2019ve said in the State of the Union and I\u2019ll repeat here today: I am willing and happy to look at other ideas to improve the law, including incentives to improve patient safety and medical malpractice reforms. And I want to correct a flaw that\u2019s already placed an unnecessary bookkeeping burden on too many small businesses, and I appreciate the Chamber\u2019s help in doing that.\nBut we have to recognize that some common-sense regulations often will make sense for your businesses, as well as your families, as well as your neighbors, as well as your coworkers. Of course, your responsibility goes beyond recognizing the need for certain standards and safeguards. If we\u2019re fighting to reform the tax code and increase exports to help you compete, the benefits can\u2019t just translate into greater profits and bonuses for those at the top. They have to be shared by American workers, who need to know that expanding trade and opening markets will lift their standards of living as well as your bottom line.\nWe can\u2019t go back to the kind of economy and culture that we saw in the years leading up to the recession, where growth and gains in productivity just didn\u2019t translate into rising incomes and opportunity for the middle class. That\u2019s not something necessarily we can legislate, but it\u2019s something that all of us have to take responsibility for thinking about. How do we make sure that everybody\u2019s got a stake in trade, everybody\u2019s got a stake in increasing exports, everybody\u2019s got a stake in rising productivity? Because ordinary folks end up seeing their standards of living rise as well. That\u2019s always been the American promise. That\u2019s what JFK meant when he said, \u201cA rising tide lifts all boats.\u201d Too many boats have been left behind, stuck in the mud.\nAnd if we as a nation are going to invest in innovation, that innovation should lead to new jobs and manufacturing on our shores. The end result of tax breaks and investments can\u2019t simply be that new breakthroughs and technologies are discovered here in America, but then the manufacturing takes place overseas. That, too, breaks the social compact. It makes people feel as if the game is fixed and they\u2019re not benefiting from the extraordinary discoveries that take place here.\nSo the key to our success has never been just developing new ideas; it\u2019s also been making new products. So Intel pioneers the microchip, then puts thousands to work building them in Silicon Valley. Henry Ford perfects the assembly line, and then puts a generation to work in the factories of Detroit. That\u2019s how we built the largest middle class in the world. Those folks working in those plants, they go out and they buy a Ford. They buy a personal computer. And the economy grows for everyone. And that\u2019s how we\u2019ll create the base of knowledge and skills that propel the next inventions and the next ideas.\nRight now, businesses across this country are proving that America can compete. Caterpillar is opening a new plant to build excavators in Texas that used to be shipped from Japan. In Tennessee, Whirlpool is opening their first new U.S. factory in more than a decade. Dow is building a new plant in Michigan to manufacture batteries for electric vehicles. A company called Geomagic, a software maker, decided to close down its overseas centers in China and Europe and move their R&D here to the United States. These companies are bringing jobs back to our shores. And that\u2019s good for everybody.\nSo if I\u2019ve got one message, my message is now is the time to invest in America. Now is the time to invest in America. (Applause.) Today, American companies have nearly $2 trillion sitting on their balance sheets. And I know that many of you have told me that you\u2019re waiting for demand to rise before you get off the sidelines and expand, and that with millions of Americans out of work, demand has risen more slowly than any of us would like.\nWe\u2019re in this together, but many of your own economists and salespeople are now forecasting a healthy increase in demand. So I just want to encourage you to get in the game. As part of the bipartisan tax deal we negotiated, with the support of the Chamber, businesses can immediately expense 100 percent of their capital investments. And as all of you know, it\u2019s investments made now that will pay off as the economy rebounds. And as you hire, you know that more Americans working will mean more sales for your companies. It will mean more demand for your products and services. It will mean higher profits for your companies. We can create a virtuous circle.\nAnd if there\u2019s a reason you don\u2019t share my confidence, if there\u2019s a reason you don\u2019t believe that this is the time to get off the sidelines \u2013- to hire and to invest -\u2013 I want to know about it. I want to fix it. That\u2019s why I\u2019ve asked Jeff Immelt of GE to lead a new council of business leaders and outside experts so that we\u2019re getting the best advice on what you\u2019re facing out there \u2013- and we\u2019ll be holding our first meeting two weeks from now, on the 24th. So you can get your emails in early, with your ideas, with your thoughts about how we keep moving forward to create this virtuous cycle.\nTogether, I am confident we can win the competition for new jobs and industries. And I know you share my enthusiasm. Here\u2019s one thing I know. For all the disagreements, Tom, that we may have sometimes on issues, I know you love this country. I know you want America to succeed just as badly as I do.\nSo, yes, we\u2019ll have some disagreements; and, yes, we\u2019ll see things differently at times. But we\u2019re all Americans. And that spirit of patriotism, and that sense of mutual regard and common obligation, that has carried us through far harder times than the ones we\u2019ve just been through.\nAnd I\u2019m reminded, toward the end of the 1930s, amidst the Depression, the looming prospect of war, FDR, President Roosevelt, realized he would need to form a new partnership with business if we were going to become what he would later call the \u201carsenal of democracy.\u201d And as you can imagine, the relationship between the President and business leaders during the course of the Depression had been rocky at times. They\u2019d grown somewhat fractured by the New Deal.\nSo Roosevelt reached out to businesses, and business leaders answered the call to serve their country. After years of working at cross purposes, the result was one of the most productive collaborations between the public and private sectors in American history.\nSome, like the head of GM, hadn\u2019t previously known the President, and if anything had seen him as an adversary. But he gathered his family and he explained that he was going to head up what would become the War Production Board. And he said to his family, \u201cThis country has been good to me, and I want to pay it back.\u201d I want to pay it back.\nAnd in the years that followed, automobile factories converted to making planes and tanks. And corset factories made grenade belts. A toy company made compasses. A pinball machine maker turned out shells. 1941 would see the greatest expansion of manufacturing in the history of America. And not only did this help us win the war; it led to millions of new jobs and helped produce the great American middle class.\nSo we have faced hard times before. We have faced moments of tumult and moments of change. And we know what to do. We know how to succeed. We are Americans, and as we have done throughout our history, I have every confidence that once again we will rise to this occasion; that we can come together, we can adapt and we can thrive in this changing economy. And we need to look no further than the innovative companies in this room. If we can harness your potential and the potential of your people across this country, I think there\u2019s no stopping us.\nSo thank you, God bless you, and may God bless the United States of America.

Singapore is unique, extremely clean and green, it's like an unexpected wonderland, everything is natural in here and pure. Catching city buses, it's like riding a private car, clean and sharp, visiting the skyscrapers of Singapore, from very modern life it takes just few minutes ride and you will be facing ancient rainforests and muddy wetlands, with banana trees...\nSingapore is all unusual and you won't escape the oh's and ah's, on every corner there is something to wonder about. Singapore for a long time have been Asia's geek that has finally find itself in the most marvelous way, it has become one of Asia's and world's top destinations. Don't expect something simple and cheap though, Singapore is all about billion dollar gardens and sci-fi architecture, let's call it Asia's Abu dhabi. The world wide famous Skyscraper Infinity Pool, it's a rooftop pleasure dome with 150 meter infinity pool, located on the 57th floor. You won't believe, it's real, nobody does, once you leave it, you are still shaking from the emotions, a lifetime experience. It's in the extravagant and massive hotel, which owns its own museum, casino , shopping malls and restaurants, it's a real wonderland.\nIt's not that much about money, as it's about the unique idea, building a pool overlooking Singapore's tallest buildings, financial district, Marina Bay and city itself, the pictures will look unreal. Everyone who have ever swam in that pool, says, once you hit the pool's edge, it feels like you're about to fall off the top of the world, must be great emotions to live through.\nThat's not all that Singapore has to offer, there is so much more, it's a place of constant contrast, you will see smoky temples , lying on the shadow of fancy luxe condos, laid back shop houses, forest on the back and Chinatown next to it. It's a pleasant chaos, but you have to dig deeper, don't stop at the sterile cliches, look for more, and find yourself in a marvelous Singapore. Food is simply exquisite, do not miss it, try all, mouthwatering feast of flavours, that's an experience you must live. Singapore's cuisine is a result of centuries of cultural exchange, mixed with traditional and modern!\nBy: By Robertacucchiaro.wordpress.co",

Nearly all chemical reactions in biological systems are catalysed by enzymes and they are often referred to as biological catalysts They are the most remarkable compounds and affect the life to such an extent that life has aptly been called as \u201can orderly function of enzymes\u201d. An enzyme is a very complex molecule consisting of a high molecular weight protein molecule. Many enzymes are simple proteins. Eg: pepsin, trypsin, ribonuclease, lysozyme etc. But more commonly they are conjugated proteins and contain a non-protein component (prosthetic group) which is essential for the enzyme activity. This non protein component may be either a covalent molecule or a metal ion and generally referred to as cofactor. The cofactor is called a coenzyme if it is a covalent molecule and an activator if it is a metal ion. The protein part of the enzyme is called the apoenzyme. A complete, catalytically active enzyme together with its coenzyme or metal is called a holoenzyme.",

        "raw_content": "For details of Training please contact Isabel Smith, our Junior development and coaching officer at juniors@ipswich-tri.org We meet weekly at Eyke and twice a month at Woolverstone. Junior members are guided toward a more structured programme of development across all disciplines, with which parents are encouraged to help.\nMembers-only swimming sessions are held on a Saturday morning at a local 25m pool, with coaching available. During the summer, senior members have had the use of a private open water facility one morning and evening every week.\nCycle training is arranged on an ad-hoc basis. The club is a great place to meet others of a similar ability to arrange training with.\nOur weekly club runs are on Thursdays from Greshams in Ipswich, departing at 6.30pm. These sessions alternate between effort/speed sessions and road runs. There is an off-road run in the five week cycle of sessions. During the winter months this becomes a head-torch run. The sessions are planned on the members calendar here.\nMuch of the club\u2019s activity is arranged through an active members only Facebook group. In addition to the above training, individuals organise social and other events, including ride-outs and yoga sessions.\nWe are affiliated to BT (British Triathlon) through Triathlon England. This means that members can get a discount off the full year subscription if they choose to join BT direct \u2013 for example to get an annual race licence.\nIpswich Triathlon is a member of CTT (Cycling Time Trials), which is the governing body for time trialing in the UK. This means that members can take part in any of the official time trials held under their regulation. Full details can be found on the CTT Website. We are also members of the Ipswich & District Cycle Association and take part in the Ipswich & District Time Trial Series.\nWe are affiliated to UK Athletics through England Athletics. This allows members to enter the SAA Winter Cross-country League events. Also it means that club members can take part in the Suffolk Road Racing Grand Prix leagues. First claim members, once registered, receive the England Athletics (EA) competition licence which serves as a club membership card. This entitles the holder to discounted entry to UK:A registered races and other EA benefits. Affiliation to EA has meant we have previously been allocated one or two places in the Virgin Money London Marathon.\nClub kit is sold to members at cost, with members also receiving discount vouchers as part of their membership \u2013 in particular on fulfilling their marshalling obligations.\nWe have Club Championships with categories for juniors, seniors, veterans and supervets. These championships are decided by performance within a club championship league, featuring a choice of eligible events \u2013 for seniors these range from sprint to Ironman distance.\nThe Club in 2018 organised a sprint distance triathlon at Culford and a Junior Triathlon for 8-16 year olds at Framlingham. This is usually part of the Eastern Area series. All profits are used to the benefit of the membership, and members will be expected to assist or provide an assistant for at least one of these events.\nWe also organise four local series time-trials, for which members also volunteer. A great way of being introduced to these events.",

Prime Minister Abe Shinzo has failed to appropriately deal with every issue, calling his ability to run the government into serious question. \u201c\nShii pointed out that the tyranny of numbers which the Abe Cabinet has arbitrarily imposed on the Diet also shows the weakness of his government.\nWith respect to former Defense Minister Kyuma Fumio\u2019s resignation, Shii said, \u201cMr. Kyuma\u2019s view that the use of nuclear weapons \u2018couldn\u2019t be helped\u2019 has been shared by the successive LDP governments. At the United Nations General Assembly last December the Japanese government abstained from voting on two resolutions calling for banning the use of nuclear weapons.\u201d\nIn this Diet session, Shii emphasized, the JCP was able to make its presence felt by playing the role as the \u201conly reliable opposition party\u201d in the areas particularly concerning: (1) the pension mismanagement; (2) increasing poverty and social gap; (3) constitutional revision; and (4) political corruption.\nShii called on the JCP Dietmembers to make every effort to achieve a JCP victory in the House of Councilors election with the slogan, \u201cVote for the JCP, the only reliable opposition party, in order to fight against increasing poverty and defend Article 9.\u201d - Akahata, July 6, 2007",

        "raw_content": "National Academy of Railroad Sciences student offered life-changing career before graduation\nFriendly and dedicated JCCC employees put grad on fast track to a better life\nMichelline Smith (seventh from the right) enjoys a day of working outdoors in NARS\u2019 simulated rail yard.\nShe started saving 12 years ago, in 2006.\nThat\u2019s when Michelline Smith realized it was time to re-examine her life. She wanted to find a career she liked but, more important, she wanted to make tracks to move her family out of the South Side of Chicago.\nThe area she and her family have called home for generations is tough \u2013 blighted with one of the highest murder rates in the country.\nA paramedic for more than 10 years, Smith found herself growing mentally numb to shootings. She worked 12-hour shifts to support and educate her four daughters while literally attempting to save her neighbors from themselves. It left her with embedded emotional shrapnel that may never heal.\nThen came NARS\nSmith had long dreamed of working for a railroad company. It seemed transportation was in her blood. Her mother worked for the Chicago Transit Authority. Smith researched many railroad training programs, but she kept coming back to JCCC\u2019s National Academy of Railroad Sciences (NARS).\n\u201cNone compared to the training I would receive,\u201d she said. \u201cI knew I\u2019d have to sacrifice, but it was so worth it. What I wanted was a railroad career, not just a job. It took me so long to reach the financial goal, and I wasn\u2019t about to give up.\u201d\nSmith took a leap of faith. She quit her job, left her 11-year-old daughter with her mother, bought railroad-approved footwear, booked a flight to Kansas City and reserved an Airbnb in Overland Park.\nFast-forward five weeks\nPersistence paid off \u00ad\u00ad\u2013 big time. Two days before Smith finished her six-week NARS conductor training course, Canadian Pacific came calling. Smith received an $80,000 job offer (closer to six figures after adding overtime and benefits). Six days after graduation, she was in Minnesota training for her new job as a freight train conductor.\nOn the job, Smith is one of just two people operating a train that can be 100 cars or longer. An engineer handles the driving while she covers everything from braking and track switching to ensuring the cars are in good working order. The days are long \u2013 12-hour shifts, six days a week \u2013 but that\u2019s nothing new to Smith.\n\u201cI\u2019m confident because the NARS instructors took us through the exercises step by step and made sure every student \u2018got it,\u2019\u201d she said. \u201cThey made learning really fun, too. Teaching the course isn\u2019t just a paycheck to them; they really care about their students.\u201d\nFaithful friends she met at JCCC\nSmith acknowledges that she worked hard to graduate from NARS, but she\u2019s extremely grateful for the friendly staff at JCCC.\nAnne Rubeck, Digital Strategist, answered a call when she heard a NARS student needed transportation to and from campus. Turns out Smith\u2019s Airbnb was just a few blocks from Rubeck\u2019s home. They became fast friends and Rubeck even took Smith to visit her family\u2019s farm in Garnett.\n\u201cI\u2019d never been to a farm. That\u2019s a whole different world than I\u2019m used to,\u201d Smith said. \u201cWhen I got on the combine tractor, I was up so high I could see trains coming through the fields. I knew I was in the right place and it was very cool.\u201d\nRubeck felt honored to help. \u201cMy experience with Michelline made me feel I was living the College's mission to \u2018inspire learning to transform lives and strengthen communities.\u2019 In return, I was greatly inspired by Michelline\u2019s determination and positive attitude.\u201d\nTim Brown, NARS Assistant Professor, also made a lasting impression on Smith. He explained the good, the dangers and the challenging aspects of the industry \u2013 what Smith calls \u201chonest talk.\u201d\n\u201cHe stayed late and came in early and did everything in his power to make sure we all knew the material,\u201d Smith said.\nBrown commented that Smith was one of the most focused and best students he\u2019d had in class to date. The industry is male-dominated and few females enroll in NARS training, even though companies are encouraging women to find railroad careers.\nNARS Director Terry Harrison and NARS Training Coordinator Gretchen Henderson also made an impact on Smith. Harrison helped Smith fill out her job application for Canadian Pacific.\n\u201cHer first day in training, she had on beautiful eyelashes and nails. By the end of the first week they were gone,\u201d Harrison said. \u201cI knew then she was serious. She was always a joy.\u201d\nSmith also ran into President Joe Sopcich in the Commons.\n\u201cHe was so nice and down-to-earth,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019d never met anyone of that stature who was so approachable. I told him I was impressed and thankful for everyone\u2019s friendliness on campus.\u201d\n\u201cJCCC truly has a family feel,\u201d she added. \u201cI\u2019ll never forget my time on that clean, safe campus among beautiful people.\u201d\nWhat\u2019s down the line for you?\nIf you are ready to get rolling with a railroad career, call the NARS staff at 913-469-8500, ext. 2222, or visit jccc.edu/NARS.",

        "raw_content": "Did you know ...? of the week: Frescoes of the Sistine Chapel by Michelangelo Buonarroti\nFrescoes of the Sistine Chapel\nDid you know...? The artistic decoration so beautifully adorns the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, a masterpiece of the great Michelangelo Buonarroti, was performed with the complex technical Buon Fresco or Fresco Buono. The difficult painting technique, which leaves no room for error, as it should be done in just a day's work, \u2014just eight hours before the roof dry\u2014, is unique in that, through a chemical reaction, the pigments penetrate the ceiling surface thereof and forming part becoming insoluble in the water. The difference from the Fresco Secco is that as its name suggests, the paintings are to be applied on the plaster and dry.\ntop, center of the dome image painted by the great Michelangelo between 1508 and 1512 by order of Pope Julius II (Raphael), representing the history of mankind in the period before the birth of Christ. The Sistine Chapel, formerly called Palatine Chapel is in Vatican City, not far from the Cathedral of St. Peter in Rome, Italy.\nFresh Buon technique is based on a chemical reaction known as carbonation. \"The pigments of lime mixed with water, applied to a fresh mortar, lime and aggregates, while still in the lime is calcium hydroxide form. Due to carbon dioxide atmosphere, the lime is converted to calcium carbonate, so that the pigment crystallizes within the wall. Thus, while in most other paint-painting techniques on the surface, remains in the fresh paint is \"embedded\" inside surface prepared, so we get to that painting can not be altered. \"\nabove, one of the most famous scenes of the Sistine Chapel, The Creation of Adam, located in the central area of the ship. Given his knowledge of human anatomy and sculpture-and had done some of his best works as La Piedad, first, and then the David, Michelangelo Buonarroti merged Architecture, Sculpture and Painting in the same work.\nThe ancient barrel vault of the Sistine Chapel, \u2014which was decorated with a simple blue paint and star studded sky represented by the painter Pier Matteo d'Amelia\u2014, Michelangelo was prepared by using several layers of lime and arid. The first layer of sand was mixed with lime and successive with a higher concentration of lime until a completely smooth surface with a spatula. On the last layer of lime, the finest and still fresh, the colors were applied. Michelangelo, who also had great engineering feats, and that created a special scaffolding for the frescoes that should be allowed to continue with the planned Mass each week, templates used to scale the different scenes and characters that represent the Genesis, Bible or Old Testament.\nabove picture of the Last Judgment over the altar,\u2014of 13.70 m. high x 12.20 m. wide\u2014, which was made \u200b\u200bby Michelangelo between 1536 and 1541 by order of Pope Clement VII and later confirmed by Pope Paul III Farnese (1468-1549). Curiously, the full name of Michelangelo (1475-1564) Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti is Simoni.\nThe templates made \u200b\u200bon paper, which greatly simplified the work to Michelangelo,-since Buon Fresco technique required to act with considerable skill and dries up quickly before the plaster surface-drilling consisted of drawing lines through a number of points, and later, with a spolvero, to slide it over paper punch on the surface of the roof, the original drawing was marked on the plaster as a guide for the artist. Furthermore, apart from a technique that does not allow adjustments, other than the added difficulties of Buon Fresco is that due to chemical reaction with the lime pigment, when dried, the applied color tone changed so that Michelangelo made many tests and had to guess very well as they would be the colors after drying the surface, because otherwise, if there was an error, I had to scratch and start again.\nAlthough from the outside the Sistine Chapel offers no great architectural interest, the reality is that hidden inside one of the best references in the world of art par excellence, the frescoes of the \"divine\" Michelangelo. But are 20,000 daily visits which currently receives the Sistine Chapel.\nTo get an idea of how difficult the domain of Buon Fresco technique, he resisted the Leonardo da Vinci himself. \"The Sistine Chapel is named after Pope Sixtus IV della Rovere (pontiff from 1471-1484), who made Magna restructure the old chapel between 1477 and 1480.\" Also, animal glue layer had been applied for centuries to Michelangelo frescoes,-that would help prevent the release of the roof and the work that darkened considerably with the passage of time, followed by a major restoration that conducted between 1980 and 1994, which was discovered light and the vivid colors that Michelangelo had spent time in the splendid Italian Renaissance art.\nUpstairs main detail of Judgment with the gesture of Christ separating the righteous from the sinners and the Virgin Mary, to his right, as protagonists of the scene. \"Without having seen the Sistine Chapel one can form no appreciable idea of what human beings are capable of achieving,\" Johann Wolfgang Goethe.\nThe characters so beautifully recreate the Genesis in the Sistine Chapel by Michelangelo were staged with their bodies fully naked, as was customary in the Renaissance and taste. However, the reality is that this is not really like some of his cardinals, especially the master of ceremonies Biagio Cesana, so after the refusal of the artist, by order of Pope Paul III Farnese instructed the pupil Daniele da Volterra that covered the private parts of some of the characters with veils or \"panties\", \u2014earning him the nickname \"Braghettone\"\u2014, a fact bugged Michelangelo, although he retaliated. This addition made \u200b\u200blater by Daniele da Volterra was painted with the Oil painting technique, so the new paintings are not part of the last plaster prepared by Michelangelo, but were reflected in a superficial way.\nabove general picture of the Sistine Chapel. One of the interesting characteristics that owns the buon fresco technique is that it resists very well over time, as evidenced by some of the old buildings that still survive us and we can admire in all its splendor in the ruins of ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome.\nThe Sistine Chapel, measures 40 x 13.5 x 21 feet, inspired by the Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem, usually associated with the name of Michelangelo, however, on the walls of the chapel that support vault also helped other important painters of the Italian Renaissance as Perugino, Ghirlandaio and Botticelli, among others, who created beautiful murals rectangular over five meters long with the fresco technique, as shown in the image above. The monumental work of Michelangelo Buonarroti held in the Sistine Chapel, which was developed over nearly a decade, though at different times-became not only one of the best works of the Italian Cinquecento, but also one of the masterpieces the entire history of art. In the building pontifical ceremonies are held, and the Papal Conclave and Election, as media in recent years.\nup, portrait of St. Bartholomew with the face of Pietro Aretino, friend of Michelangelo, who had been censured by the Church for his writings of lust. The character is depicted with a knife in his right hand and held his own skin in his left hand, which is also portrayed Michelangelo himself.\nThe great Renaissance artist, who flatly refused to cover the most intimate parts of the characters as hard work had cost him perform for a few years, finally got his revenge, and Cesana Biagio received his punishment. In the lower right corner of Judgment, at the gates of hell, the artist portrayed the king of hell Minos with Biagio's face Cesana. Michelangelo ridiculed depicting him naked ass with huge ears, a snake coiled and surrounded by monsters as you can see in the image below. Scared, to be represented in hell, legend has it that Cesana Biagio went to Pope with tears and sighs to bear Mr. Michelangelo order to erase its ugly caricature. Paul III, who believed it had good humor, replied: \"My son, if the painter had put you in purgatory, could get you out, because there goes my power, but you're in hell and I can not\" .\nFive centuries later, the reality is that Biagio still in Cesana hell of Judgment in the Sistine Chapel that recreates the Apocalypse of St. John. Certainly, who expressed the view that the frescoes of Michelangelo were rather the decoration of a public restroom or a tavern, cursed be the day they filed their complaints to the pope; below, interesting video of the Sistine Chapel.\nIt is very important to note that, before painting the Sistine Chapel, Michelangelo Buonarroti was only made \u200b\u200bsculpture, the most important to date, La Piedad (1498-1499), first, and later, The David (1501-1504) . Furthermore, the idea that paint anything Michelangelo's frescoes in the Sistine Chapel was planned by various artists of the Renaissance rivals envious of his art, including Raphael, who thought that Michelangelo could not carry out such a huge challenge, especially if it is by the difficulty that he had never worked with the difficult technique of fresco, and this would be the laughingstock of the entire world. He also called \"Judgement\" hides some very interesting details worth mention, such as Michelangelo's apparent homosexuality, his constant devotion to the beauty of the male body in particular, including through representation on the women,-a who simply put her breasts, kissing male characters, or including his great love \"late\", the young Roman Tommaso Cavalieri, with whom he shared his life until the end of his days in February 1564.\nMiguel \u00c1ngel fue un genio de virtuosismo inigualable.

        "title": "Brexit and the agricultural sector: The Journal Online",
        "raw_content": "The UK electorate has voted to leave the European Union. What effect does this have on the agricultural sector? Until withdrawal, nothing changes and we remain part of the EU as previously. The future is uncertain. Questions on the procedure for, and timing of, the withdrawal process at EU level remain open. The differing political agendas of the UK and Scottish Governments add to a developing constitutional narrative. A significant factor will be the nature of the UK\u2019s (and Scotland\u2019s) relationship with the EU after withdrawal. But even if exact consequences cannot yet be known, issues for the agricultural sector can be identified.\nThe Common Agricultural Policy (\u201cCAP\u201d)\nThis applies to full members of the EU only. Therefore, whatever the relationship between the EU and the UK following withdrawal, the EU\u2019s CAP will not apply. It is anticipated that payments under the CAP will be replaced by a domestic scheme. It is expected that the overall size of any domestic fund would be smaller than at present due to budget pressures.\nThe CAP includes a Basic Payment Scheme (BPS), under which direct payments are made to farmers, including a \u201cgreening\u201d, or environmentally-conscious practices, component. This makes up around 30% of the total fund. In order to receive the payment in full, certain obligations must be met on crop diversification, maintenance of permanent grassland, and the establishment of ecological focus areas on 5% of arable land.\nOn one view, owing at least in part to a reduction in the size of the payments fund following withdrawal, the balance between environmental obligations and size of payment received would shift towards the former. Possibly, such a change would reduce the incentive to comply, leading to a depression in regulation. However, a significant number of Scottish farms would not be viable, in the present economic context, without Government subsidy. Therefore, for some, a reduction in the size of the carrot would correspond to an increase in the size of the stick. But the picture is yet more complex, not least because of the (unknown and disputed) effect of withdrawal on food prices, which will be affected by any trade deal negotiated, and the Government and market responses to that.\nThe administration of the CAP is devolved; some divergence already exists within the UK. Early predictions are that this divergence under a domestic scheme will increase post-Brexit, and that in the context of a UK which remains unified.\nAssuming no inordinate delay in withdrawing, some agri-environment agreements will end after Brexit. These are contracts between a private party and the Government. As such, they will continue to be enforceable, and the UK Treasury has announced that those agreed before the Autumn Statement will be fully funded, but the content of these should be reviewed and variation to include any domestic CAP replacement considered.\nWorkers and trade\nAccording to one estimate, around 65% of the full-time non-UK workers in the agricultural sector come from the EU. Temporary, seasonal workers also form a numerically and economically significant group. Movement of persons was a highly political part of the campaign.\nThere will be a trade-off between border control and access to the single market. In principle, Brexit will put border control back into the hands of domestic Government. However, the UK will seek to retain favourable trading terms with the EU (particularly important as around 70% of agricultural exports are destined for the EU). Current members of the EEA and EFTA, for example, are subject to EU law on free movement of persons. In practice, therefore, regaining full border control will be tempered by trade agreements.\nClearly, there would be a negative effect on the agricultural sector if availability of workers is adversely impacted.\nContinued trade with the EU will also mean continued adherence to EU standards, such as relative to genetically modified organisms (GMO) and traceability of meat; but member state influence on the development of these standards will be lost for the future.\nLegislation and environmental policy\nThe agricultural sector is affected by both regulations, which have direct effect, and directives, which must be implemented by domestic legislation. A number of EU directives concern environmental policy, such as the GMO Release Directive, the Nitrates Directive, the Waste Framework Directive, parts of the Water Framework Directive, the Birds Directive, and the Habitats Directive. In principle, the UK implementing legislation could be amended or repealed post-Brexit, but as with other areas, that power is likely to be fettered. For example, the first four of these directives would continue to apply if Brexit involves staying in the EEA. An alternative deal may well involve similar imperatives or restrictions.\nIn short, a complex picture emerges of influencing factors and their possible effects, the results of which will only become apparent following determination of the terms of withdrawal, both from an external and a domestic perspective.",

        "raw_content": "Ecology Retreats\nBy: Susan Hiscock\nIn: Pre School\nIf you are looking for a good preschool in Townsville, you have got to keep several things in mind. This is because choosing the right preschool is crucial for your child\u2019s overall development preschool is the place where your child would receive their first lessons in both mental and social development. At a preschool children learn many new things. The aim is to shape a child\u2019s personality and prepare them for the challenges ahead of them.\nWhen looking for a child care Townsville options, make sure you keep the following things in mind.\nThe distance of the preschool from your home or work. You would be dropping your child off every day in the morning. It is expected you are there to pick them up on time. Since children are creatures of habit even a slight shift in schedule can get them worried. So if the preschool is far from your home or work you might face delays picking up your child. This can increase their anxiety. It is therefore advisable to choose a preschool which is nearer to your home.\nYou can check the local directory to see which preschool in Townsville is nearer to your place. This way you can shortlist the ones which you feel are the best option for you.\nIf possible go and visit the preschool personally. When you visit have a talk with the admin. Let them allow you to see how other children are doing at school. This is one way of ensuring whether your child would be happy in the setting or not.\nObserve how the teachers communicate with children. Are the children happy?\nGet to know what policies they have for allowing children to adjust well to the surroundings at the preschool.\nAlso see if the place is well kept and clean. It doesn\u2019t necessarily have to be a very big establishment but it should have room enough to adjust the number of children studying there. Also get to know if they have an outdoor play area for the children. Young kids are very energetic and they do need space to run around and release some of that pent up energy.\nDo they have a napping policy? Do they allow children to rest for a while during noon?\nWhat is their lunch plan? Do they provide lunch or would you have to bring it from home? Also get to know if they are providing meals are those healthy or nutritious.\nLast but not the least get to know whether the preschool is licensed and registered. You can check this out by taking a look at the local education body for preschools which are listed.\nThough all this would seem like a great deal of work and you might wonder why you have to know so much about a preschool, it is actually only for your and your child\u2019s benefit in the long run. If you are looking for a preschool in Townsville, make sure you check out the top local schools.\nAdvantages of Children Attending Day Care\nIn: Child Care Services\nThe reason why most parents prefer sending their child to child care centers is because they provide a safe yet structured environment for their child. All Cranbourne child care centers are licensed and all their care givers are supervised at all times.\nWhile few people prefer having a nanny for their children because it means one on one attention. Though the advantages of hiring a nanny can\u2019t be undermined, but it can be slightly more expensive than sending children to a day care center.\nHowever, the benefits of sending children to day care can\u2019t be undermined.\nSome of these benefits include the following\nChild care centers have a set schedule. This means there are specific times for dropping off and picking up children. This is also a great deal less expensive than hiring a full time nanny. Plus the added advantage is meeting up parents of children of the same age and getting to exchange information and ideas. There are also ample opportunities to start a car pool system so some of the responsibility can be shared. Play dates can be arranged and children learn social interaction at an early age.\nChoosing a day care over a nanny is better because even if the caregiver at a daycare is sick, they have an immediate replacement. Your child will attend day care no matter what the situation. However, if you hire a nanny you would have to make allowances for sick days and vacations too.\nThe care givers at the day care center are trained in early childhood development and education. They can handle children with ease and provide for them a happy and nurturing environment which brings out the best of their abilities.\nAt a day care center your child is kept busy in a number of activities which help improve their learning and social skills as well. They teach a variety of things through activities like dancing, singing and storytelling. Children find it less tedious to learn new things because they are learning through fun and games. The children spend their day working on different projects and improving their skills in the process. Most children attend day care from the time they are babies. So by the time they are toddlers, they learn the benefits of working in a structured environment.\nIt\u2019s not just learning all the time. Children are working through programs which are a mix of left and right brain activities. They learn to build blocks, pour liquids and string beads. All these develop a child\u2019s learning as well as spatial abilities\nResearch has proved that children who attend day care also tend to score a little hire during admission tests when compared to those who didn\u2019t attend day care or were home schooled. Attending a day care builds up a child\u2019s confidence enabling him or her to excel in all academic and social activities when they enter kindergarten.\nSending your child to Cranbourne child care centers is a wise decision.\nHow to Find the Best Kindergarten for Your Child in North Lakes\nFinding a perfect Kindergarten for your child around North Lakes can be hectic. With numerous institutions purporting to provide the best curriculum, it could be confusing. At the kindergarten level, you need to ensure that you give your child the best that you can, since getting it wrong at the first time can result into future regrets. Many would argue that the more you pay the better the services, however, from what I have experienced this does not carry any water. While most of the expensive kindergartens in North Lakes provide the best that money could afford, some of the affordable institutions still beat them in service provision.\nThe debate on kindergarten affordability does not necessarily come in when discussing how to find the best kindergarten for your child in North Lakes. It\u2019s essential to closely peruse the underlying factors that will be shared here to make it easier for you to achieve your goal. The most vital factors include and are not limited to;\nThe distance from your residence\nThe type of curriculum offered\nThe outdoor activities infrastructure\nHistory of the kindergarten\nThough some parents would argue that the distance from home to the kindergarten is not important, research shows that this can adversely affect your child especially when it comes to the time needed to wake up for preparation in the morning. The further the in North Lakes the kindergarten is situated from your residence, the earlier you need to get your child up. What this means is that your child will be forced to wake up much earlier so that they would be dropped early enough to begin the day\u2019s program at the kindergarten. To avoid this, it would be necessary to find a child care centre in North Lakes that is close your home.\nThere are various curriculums provided in North Lakes kindergartens. What you prefer for your child would highly depend on your choice. The advice here is to get your child to undergo the curriculum that would most likely develop them wholly.\nIt\u2019s advisable for you to take your time and pay a physical visit to the kindergartens in North Lakes that you have zeroed on. Checkout the outdoor activities available, and take a particular interest in the infrastructure around them. Are they safe? Closely find out if the infrastructure is in erected with all the basic safety measures in place. While there are governments laid down rules that have to be adhered to by all kindergartens in North Lakes, some institutions might have neglected or overlooked them. Your main mandate would be to find out if they really fit your child. Are they rusty? Worn out? How often are they repaired? These are some of the questions that you need to have in mind. Ensure that you do not overlook anything.\nEach and every kindergarten in North Lakes has a history, except those that are brand new. Getting to understand the kindergartens past would highly assist you in choosing the best for your child. A religious background would be a better choice. Some kindergartens in North Lakes would go a step higher in listing some of their achievements across the years. Do not ignore that. Dig as much as you can and you will definitely get the best kindergarten in North Lakes.\nWhat is wildlife conservation education and why you should care\nIn: Guide\nNature is pleasant and beautiful in its entire capacity. Every living organism has a place in nature and requires conducive atmosphere for their survival. Wildlife is a diversity name that includes different sorts of animals, different plant species, various ecosystems among other many living things.\nEducation on the conservation of these living creatures -either brought to life by the almighty creator or through the innovative thinking and actions of human beings is very crucial and should be emphasized. It helps and inspires people to respect nature and what exists in it as well as to value the presence of other living things.\nThrough the education, human beings understand the need to co-exist well with all wildlife because each organism plays a vital role that in one way or the other help each other. There are various ways in which wildlife conservation education can be steered to reach the public. Conservation is a very useful management tool that saves lives of many organisms.\nThere are many organizations out there which empower people to own and respect the wildlife sector. However, the biggest challenge facing the wildlife is the perception people have towards it -human beings think they are more superior to any other creatures on earth.\nThis makes other creature more vulnerable to human attacks and effects from their daily activities. There other challenges that wildlife sector faces such as increase in population that clears their habitats for shelter and farming, over dependency on nature to supply essential goods and services, poaching and illegal logging to obtain valuable products from the wildlife among others.\nThe reason why people should care for the wildlife is because no organism that can play the part played by another organism perfectly if that organism is not there.\nIn other words, no organism/ species that can PERFECTLY replace another one and serve all its functions exclusively. What many can do is to offer alternative or a substitute and not to COMPLETELY REPLACE.\nThis therefore accords every organism a chance to live on earth so as to play its part and make life complete. There are very many endangered species which exist today on earth because of conservation measures taken by some people in the past.\nIf these conservation measures were not taken, those species would have disappeared long time ago and no where to been seen. It is those conserved organisms that are enjoyed in the current world by tourists as they visit various tourist attraction places in the world.\nAccording to studies, failure to conserve wildlife can increase the chances of Nature-Deficit Disorder in children. This condition affects children on the grounds that, those who lack proper induction and/ or lack exposure to the wildlife and nature have difficulties in their skill development.\nThey also suffer due to failure to achieve their goals and targets in due time as compared to those who are well exposed to nature. This is a clear indication that nature/ wildlife plays a vital role in the development of children (human being and other organism) and therefore should be accorded due respect and conserved.\nGet our latest update and discount",

        "raw_content": "Dock Jumping With Bean\nSara Garthly\n\u00a9 2010; Text by Sara Garthly; Photos by key4prints.com\nCurrent: Dock Jumping With Bean\nNo portion of this article may be reproduced without permission of the copyright holder. Reprinted with permission from ; Text by Sara Garthly; Photos by keyprints.com.\nMy wonderful journey of life with a Kerry Blue started on May 30, 2009, when I picked up my puppy from the breeder, Youlia Anderson (PennTerra's KBT). Since I am already active in performance events with my Rottweiler, I knew this puppy would also be participating in activities when she got older. I love doing the sports with my dogs where their breed isn't the typical breed you see participating. I do weightpulling with my Rottie boy and Bean is also a weightpull dog in training. I decided to look for another sport where Bean might also be the first in her breed to be titled and I looked into dock jumping. With the Kerry being the all around working and retrieving dog for the farmer, I thought this would be a good fit. I contacted the local club, Keystone DockDogs, because I wanted the proper introduction and foundation work since I knew I'd be competing with Bean. I was told there was a member who put some time in at a nearby dog pool to help with newbies in the sport and I was put in contact with him. He was excited to see a Kerry getting involved as he had never seen one competing.\nIf one does not have access to a pool, a lake or beach will work equally well since the first step is teaching them to swim. When I arrived for the first time at the pool, the Keystone member told me that the first visit was just for a positive experience with no pressure. I put a life vest on her and let her run around and play. Even just standing in the water was praised, and nothing was rushed. It must be FUN for the dog. In the beginning it's just play, play, play. Place the toy in front of them and LOTS of praise if they pick it up. As they get more comfortable in the water and with their toy, tossing it a little farther will eventually have them retrieving it. As the toy gets farther out, the dog tends to rush in the water with some splashing in the excitement to get the toy. This is the start of teaching them that a splash is fun and part of the play. Picking one particular toy for this game (and it is a game for the dog) and it being used for ONLY this game is important. By doing this, eventually the dog will get super excited just seeing the toy because he knows what is about to happen and then it only takes a little toy play to get them revved up while in line at competition.\nOnce Bean was swimming and retrieving, it was time to introduce her to the dock. It is very important not to rush them jumping off the dock, they have to want to jump. In competition, pushing, tugging, or yanking the dog is not allowed so it is important that it not be done in the beginning to potentially shut them down. When I first attempted to ask Bean to jump, I engaged her with some play with her toy to rev her up. She chased it, jumped for it, and tugged on it, increasing her desire for the toy. We walked up to the end of the dock and I dropped her toy right in front of the dock. You have to make the dog think that they can get it, and keeping it in close in the beginning increases the chances of them thinking they can do it. After I dropped it, I praised her if she looked at it with a \u201cyes, good girl\u201d. The more she acted interested in the toy, the more excited and encouraging I got. This is where revving them up and, in the beginning, the encouragement of the splashing comes in VERY handy because Bean went off the dock quite readily. If she hadn't, I would have gone back to the other end of the pool (or shoreline at a lake) and done a few retrieving with some splashing repetitions. Once she jumped off the dock, I gradually threw the toy farther out. Bean was a VERY fast learner and in all, this took about a month. I went to the pool about once a week and stayed about two hours.\nSo now Bean was a dock jumper. Now what? Well, she was ready for a competition. It really is that simple. Dock jumping is a great sport in that there is very little training involved in order to compete. It's not about training the swimming and retrieving or the dog having an abundance of energy, it's about their DESIRE for their toy and tapping into that desire (often called a \u201ctoy drive\u201d). It's not like agility, rally, or formal obedience; once they are jumping, you enter! Bean LOVES to play and LOVES her toys, so for me, it was easy from day one. She FLIES off the dock. However, no two dogs are alike and what is \u201ceasy\u201d for one owner may not be \u201ceasy\u201d for the next. This does NOT mean one is a better candidate than the other and it is important to not get discouraged. It just means you have to take the steps a little slower. My Rottweiler, for example, thinks this jumping off the dock stuff is in no way fun, so I need to work with him more on the shoreline and his desire for his toy (which he has, just not in the water). If you have a dog that is needing more steps in the beginning, just take it slow. Train for the race, not the sprint.\nThere are three sanctioning organizations in dock jumping: DockDogs (dockdogs.com), Ultimate Air Dogs (ultimateairdogs.net), and Splash Dogs (splashdogs.com). I chose to compete in DockDogs because they have regional events as well as traveling nationally, and I can join a local club (Keystone DockDogs). However, UAD (and now SplashDogs) is partnered with UKC and one can earn UKC jumping titles so I will compete in UAD in the near future. For DockDogs, a membership with DockDogs Worldwide is required to have the titles recorded and the title goes with the team (handler and dog), not just the dog. For UAD, if you want it to earn UKC titles you must submit your registration number when entering, but UAD does have their own titles.\nA title is awarded after the team earns 5 legs in one division:\nNovice 1'-9'11\u201d\nJunior 10'-14'11\u201d\nSenior 15'-19'11\u201d\nMaster 20'-22'11\u201d\nElite 23'-24'11\nSuper Elite 25' and up\nThe dock is 40 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 2 feet above the water surface (this may vary slightly with each organization). In DockDogs, the body of water can be either a pool or a lake at least 4 feet deep. The dock is covered in a turf type carpet for traction and safety. The team can use any amount of the dock they choose and can start from any point on the dock. For instance, with Bean's first event I chose to keep her up close to the edge of the dock and I only went back about 10 feet so she kept her confidence. In her second event, I went back 20 feet. I knew she was a little more solid with her jumping and a little more used to the environment. The bigger, more experienced dogs use the entire 40 feet. The competition is called a wave, with 2-3 waves per day and practice time in between. In each wave you have two jumps with the longer of the two jumps being your official score. The jump is measured from the end of the dock to where the tail set enters the water. This way, all the dogs are judged fairly against each other. The handler has 90 seconds on the dock to work with the dog, which some people use to play with the dog and build up his energy. Green dogs sometimes need the time for extra encouragement, while others hardly need any time and just blast out a great jump. The top six dogs of each division move on to the finals, so a jump of 8 or 9 feet could easily be in the Novice Finals. There is then an award ceremony with the winners of each of the divisions.\nThere are two techniques used in preparing the dog to jump. One is called The Chase and the other is called the Place and Send. The Chase method is where the dog is placed at one end of the dock and the handler stands at the other end of the dock with the pool. The dog is released and the toy is thrown as the dog is about to jump, creating a jump with nice height and (hopefully) distance because the dog follows the toy, trying to catch it. This method takes some mastering because timing is critical and an \u201coff\u201d toss can affect the performance of the dog. The Place and Send method is where the dog and handler go up to the edge of the dock and the toy is thrown into the water. The dog is encouraged to see the toy in preparation to jump. The handler then takes the dog back to the desired point on the dock and releases him. Sometimes you will see the handler run with the dog for extra encouragement and excitement for the dog. I currently use the Place and Send with Bean because she is still young, still learning, and not solid on her sit/stay yet. I will be transitioning to The Chase as we mature as a team.\nDock jumping is a lot of fun for both you and the dog, and jumping with the first titled Kerry Blue (confirmed by DockDog Worldwide) makes my experience even more special. I knew I wanted a Kerry \u201csomeday\u201d, but it came a reality so much earlier than planned. My female Rottie had recently been diagnosed with cancer and while Youlia had a litter on the ground, I really wasn't calling her to say \u201cI want a puppy\u201d. All the girls were spoken for, but Youlia asked if I wanted to be notified if one of the homes fell through. I told her if that happened, it would be my sign that it was meant to be. A week later she emailed saying a female puppy was mine if I wanted it. It's truly a magical connection when your dog picks you to be their owner. I still remember my heart melting seeing all those adorable puppies running around Youlia's yard when I went to pick up Bean. At 17 months old, she's still melting my heart.\nNo part of this article may be copied, duplicated, modified, or reproduced in any manner without express permission of the author",

        "raw_content": "Inspired by the great leaps human civilization was making in the 1960s, the newly-born State of Kuwait began its ascent to become one of the most remarkable models of strategically envisioned governance in the region.\nAfter designing and implementing a strong constitutional structure and organizational framework, Kuwait quickly marched toward a sustainable renaissance based on its knowledge-driven economy. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, a resilient infrastructure was being built across the country, following the most successful practices in planning and management, which Kuwaitis were keen on studying and implementing, utilizing the best minds and talents in the Arab world at the time. With this fast pace, it was not long before Kuwait became the Gulf region\u2019s beacon for civilization and advancement. These remarkable accomplishments demonstrated the vision of the late Amir Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, who also believed that \u2013 rather than a rentier economy \u2013 sustainable development requires a knowledge-driven economy powered by highly competitive organizations and individuals in both the private and the public sectors.\nIn 1976, it was finally time for the Amir\u2019s efforts toward sustainable development and the private sector expansion in multiple fields to align. This visionary configuration recognized the need for a special institution that would dedicate its efforts and resources to spreading a thriving culture of science, technology and innovation (STI) for a sustainable Kuwait. Hence, an Amiri Decree was issued on December 12th of that year, announcing the establishment of the Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Sciences (KFAS). The decree defined the Foundation as a non-profit organization that aims to stimulate and encourage advancement of STI for the benefit of society, research and enterprise in the State of Kuwait. The decree also embodied the Amir\u2019s commitment to the institution, through the appointment of H.H. the State\u2019s Amir as its Chairman. The charter also reflected local shareholding companies\u2019 commitment to fund KFAS by contributing five percent of their net annual profits \u2013 reduced over the years to one percent \u2013 to serve this purpose. KFAS\u2019s unique structure allowed it to simultaneously expand its efforts in multiple strategic directions. With the goal of enabling and encouraging the transfer of knowledge to Kuwaiti society and enterprises, KFAS has built a remarkable record of strategic collaboration agreements with the world\u2019s biggest universities and research institutions.\nBringing the World\u2019s Knowledge to Kuwait:\nOver the years, KFAS has been actively promoting STI and encouraging a culture of research and development within Kuwaiti society; a role that has become significantly more important with the dawn of the new century, wherein competitiveness and business challenges in the Kuwaiti market have reached new heights. The bond between KFAS and the private sector is demonstrated in its 2017-2021 strategic plan as well as in its activities, which offer professionals from all levels of Kuwait\u2019s private sector companies exposure to the most recent and successful practices in their fields. This has been made possible by granting trainings and internships in collaboration with the world\u2019s greatest academic institutions, such as the Harvard Executive Training Program and the KFAS Innovation Challenge, which broaden participants\u2019 professional capabilities and sharpen the leadership skills of Kuwait\u2019s future executives and decision makers. These collaborative international programs are regularly updated and strengthened to enhance the exchange of knowledge between Kuwait and the world\u2019s most advanced countries, an ambition and a goal that has been pursued by H.H. the Kuwaiti Amir, Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah. KFAS\u2019 strategy also stresses the importance of research support programs, through which KFAS funds and sponsors fellowships and post-graduate studies, establishing a unique research network to support innovation and research capabilities in Kuwait and the Arab world.\nKFAS also focuses on developing real-time innovative and advanced solutions, addressing critical areas of national priority, such as energy and its resources; an issue that was addressed by H.H. the Amir in Kuwait\u2019s vision for 2030. In response to his directives to prioritize the use of renewable energy sources in an attempt to cover 15 percent of the local demand for electricity by 2030, KFAS has developed and implemented several projects to accelerate the development of renewable energy and its utilization in electricity generation. One of these projects was a pilot program to expand the use of roof-top solar panels, which successfully installed photovoltaic systems in 150 private homes and two cooperative societies. The remarkable success of this pilot project resulted in the enlistment of its second phase in the national development plan 2017-2020, aiming to supply, install and operate photovoltaic systems in 10 cooperatives and 1,500 residences.\nAdvancement on Every Level:\nStriving to bridge the advancement gap between Kuwait and the world, KFAS has been extending its efforts in all directions to spread scientific culture within Kuwaiti society. With a very rich scientific calendar, KFAS sponsors and organizes multiple scientific conventions and workshops throughout the year. KFAS also releases periodic scientific publications addressing Kuwaiti and Arab youth. Furthermore, developing the academic qualifications for math and science teachers is another area in which KFAS invests, offering training courses on the latest applications from around the world in their fields of expertise. The Foundation has also established and funded specialized centers of excellence to address national challenges through research and development. One of these is the Scientific Center, which helps interest children and youth in science and research. Another KFAS subsidiary is the Dasman Diabetes Institute, which plays an important role in the global fight against diabetes. There is also the Jaber Al-Ahmad Center for Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, which is considered one of the world\u2019s best excellence centers in molecular medicine, offering the latest technology to diagnose and treat disease in Kuwait and to reinforce the academic infrastructure for scientific research. KFAS has also dedicated the Sabah Al Ahmed Center for Giftedness and Creativity as an incubator for creative and outstanding students and graduates in Kuwait, as well as the KFAS Academy, which presents a customized, adaptive and self-paced learning experience to continue professional education for Arab candidates. Naturally, since young people are ultimately the nation\u2019s future, KFAS has collaborated with the Ministry of Education to empower educational infrastructure with special talent academies \u2013 one for boys is already open \u2013 to develop the skills and capabilities of outstanding students.\nIn its 42-year journey, KFAS has harnessed and accelerated the knowledge and application of science, technology and innovation. In looking at the expanding scope of its programs and initiatives, KFAS has remained extremely determined to follow its pledge and commitment to make Kuwait better, stronger, and more prosperous.",

        "title": "Kenshi Reckons Size Matters | Kotaku UK",
        "raw_content": "Kenshi Reckons Size Matters\nWhen you think of stupidly massive video game worlds, you might think of Daggerfall, Just Cause 3, ARMA III, or Fuel. Big studios, and big budget projects. Well, make some more room in your brain for the indie title Kenshi which, according to its creators, is the biggest game world of all time.\nA single-player survival RPG in the vein of old-school Fallout, its creator Chris Hunt tells me the point is that it\u2019s all handcrafted. The six-person development team at Lo-fi don\u2019t use procedural generation, as in No Man\u2019s Sky or Minecraft. Instead, Hunt and co. arduously carve out canyons, raise sand dunes, and place every geographic feature themselves.\nUnsurprisingly, Kenshi has been in development for ten years, on and off.\nThe total area of its world is 870 sq/km. For comparison, Skyrim is around 37 sq/km. It takes two hours and ten minutes to cross Bethesda\u2019s game on foot. Using back-of-the-napkin maths (divide 870 by 37, then multiply 2.10 by that total), we can work out it would take roughly 49.35 hours to do the same here. Although admittedly this figure may be completely wrong as I\u2019m bad at maths [I'll allow it - ed].\nOf course, bigger doesn\u2019t automatically mean better. So why does Kenshi need to take place in such a sprawling location? \u201c[It gives us] freedom,\u201d Kenshi\u2019s lead writer Natalie Hunt says. \u201cA larger world gives the player even more choice and more variety in where they can explore, where they can set up a base or who they will make their enemies and allies. It adds to the feeling of setting out on a journey, an expedition to explore its vastness and its unchartered areas through storms, hunger and carnivorous wildlife. I also feel like it adds to the player\u2019s \u2018smallness\u2019 and insignificance. They\u2019re not born as The Chosen One, or as anything special.\u201d\nThe question is whether this game can make such scale meaningful to players, who by and large will never see more than a fraction of it. Indeed, this somewhat fits with the game's theme, which is that you really don\u2019t matter here. The game\u2019s name, Kenshi, is a Japanese word meaning \u2018swordsman\u2019. As opposed to a skilled samurai or ronin, it simply means \u2018guy with a sword.\u2019 \u201cYou are not the chosen one,\u201d goes the game\u2019s description on Lo-fi\u2019s website. \u201cYou\u2019re not great and powerful. You don\u2019t have more \u2018hitpoints\u2019 than everyone else. You are not the centre of the universe, and you are not special. Unless you work for it.\u201d\nSo, what\u2019s the aim? Basically, create an avatar, explore, and try not to die.\nThe daunting scale of Kenshi\u2019s world gives opportunity for anything to happen. Animals can eat you. Bounty hunters can bump you off. Acid rain can melt your skin. At one point I pass through a foggy canyon and blue-skinned cannibals pounce, tying me to a post and scampering away. They return in greater numbers and start eating me, first the legs, then the arms, then the head, as dozens more sink to their knees and start worshipping. It\u2019s bizarre, and completely without explanation. So, yeah, free advice: dodge the fog canyon.\nSo many open-ended systems are at work here: squad management, branching dialogue, (over 20,000 lines are in this game), character customisation, weapon crafting, base-building. Why, for instance, stop at constructing one base, when you can erect several and form a settlement? Better yet, turn one into a shop and sell loot to nomads, or transform the settlement into a thriving farmstead and grow crops - but make sure to build turrets and spotlights, because river raptors will trample them if you don\u2019t. There doesn\u2019t seem to be a limit on Lo-fi\u2019s ambition.\nActions have consequences. Don\u2019t eat and you\u2019ll turn skinny. Get cut and your blood may attract predators. Run into slavers and they\u2019ll commit you to the mines, where you\u2019ll crack rocks for days on end. If caught stealing you\u2019ll be thrown in jail, with the ensuing stretch behind bars matching the severity of your crimes.\nThankfully, instead of playing the rest of the game as an enslaved miner or waiting weeks to get out of jail, you can either speed up time or switch to a different party. Chris tells me you can have up to ten parties on the go at one time, with a maximum of 30 characters total. In a pinch you can switch control and be your own rescue force. Potential squadmates are everywhere, from caves, to dusty taverns, to religious cults. And they\u2019re talkative, too.\nSee, it\u2019s not just Kenshi\u2019s world Lo-fi has handcrafted, but characters spanning the entire stretch of it, all of whom adhere to a personality system. Generally, there are traits such as honourable, smart, dumb, and crazy, and NPCs will draw from these traits to generate an identity. So, for instance, a warrior race might generally be honourable, but one or two might have a traitorous streak, and be inclined to backstab each other. People veering more towards the crazy trait means they\u2019ll issue creepy threats towards you for no reason.\nSo why is it so important Kenshi, massive as it is, remain handcrafted? For Natalie, it\u2019s \u201cmainly because we wanted the world to tell a subtle story, something we wouldn\u2019t be able to do with a procedurally generated world. We have 2000 years of history being shown through every ruin, each biome, and even the placement of the towns and factions. We try and avoid having the player rely on books to discover the world\u2019s secrets, as sometimes this can end up feeling more like studying for an exam than playing a game. Instead we prefer to encourage the player to explore and take in smaller hints and details through sights. It gives exploration more meaning than simply looting rare items and treasures.\u201d\nThe question is whether Kenshi all hangs together. Whether players will find value in a more freeform place where they can build their own stories, or will be turned off by the rough edges and opaque systems. This is a weird and inscrutable experience: a vast world, dozens of interplaying systems, and no tutorial.\nI can\u2019t say I understand how everything hangs together. But that's kind of the point. You don\u2019t have to see or know everything in this vast expanse. You just have to survive it.\nKenshi is currently in Early Access on Steam for \u00a312.99.",

        "raw_content": "Guest pianist to perform at GVSU\nBy Olivia Conaty | 1/15/18 4:50am\nGVL / Courtesy - gvsu.edu MIKA SASAKI\nKicking off the first guest artist recital at Grand Valley State University in the new year, pianist Mika Sasaki will be performing Friday, Jan. 19, at 7:30 p.m. in the Sherman Van Solkema Recital Hall in the Haas Center for Performing Arts.\nSasaki grew up in Demarest, New Jersey, and started studying piano at a young age. She began playing piano with musician Olegna Fuschi at the Juilliard Pre-College in New York when she was seven years old.\nSasaki\u2019s talent was evident early on in her studies: She made her concerto debut with the Sinfonia of Cambridge when she was seven years old, the age she began taking lessons.\nSookkyung Cho, assistant professor of piano at GVSU, said Sasaki is the perfect example of an artist whom students should look up to.\n\u201cI think that one must be a musician first before being a pianist, and one must be an artist first before being a musician,\u201d Cho said via email. \u201cI think students will see a great example in Ms. Sasaki.\u201d\nAccording to GVSU\u2019s event page on Sasaki, she has performed at many venues around the world, including the Palazzo Chigi-Saracini in Italy, Yokohama Minato Mirai Hall in Japan and the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan concert hall.\nAt the guest recital, Sasaki will be playing six pieces from the works of Sergei Rachmaninoff, Thomas Ad\u00e8s, Franz Schubert and Alexander Scriabin.\nHer highly acclaimed solo debut album, \u201cObsidian: Mika Sasaki plays Clara Schumann,\u201d was released in 2016, and the album can be found on all streaming services.\nWhile students today have music at their fingertips through multiple streaming services, Cho thinks live music is an enriching experience that students of all majors should take advantage of here at GVSU.\n\u201cThere is something very special about being in the same room while music is being created in real time,\u201d Cho said. \u201cNo matter what your major is, I think we can always learn from someone who is dedicated to what he/she does.\u201d\nCho also explained that while there are many chamber music and orchestral concerts around the Grand Rapids area, it is rare to hear a solo recital.\n\u201cI love listening to pianists who play with a sincere heart and a sense of commitment,\u201d Cho said. \u201cAlso, those whose playing reflects a sense of awe and respect for the composers and their pieces. I try to invite those whose playing I remember as such.\u201d\nSasaki is currently completing her doctorate at The Juilliard School in New York, where she teaches various courses. She also instructs middle school piano students in Queens, New York.\nOn Saturday, Jan. 20, the day after the recital, Sasaki will be leading a master class workshop with GVSU piano students at 10 a.m. in 1325 Sherman Van Solkema Recital Hall.\nMore information about Sasaki\u2019s background, awards, teachings and samples of her music can be found at www.mikasasaki.com.",

At the 18th century the silk as a stencil carrier was developed in France and England where screenprinting was, and still is, a major means of printing fabrics.\nDuring the 20th century the applications of the silkscreen technique has been largely commercial.\nIn order to indifferentiate creative silkscreen work from the more mundane purposes of that time the term serigraphy was derived. (Seri, latin for silk, and the Greek graphos, for write).\nBecause of the heavily commercial character the creative possibilities was rejected among artists for a long time. But later on, a considerable number of artists accepted the process for their own work and began to explore its particular characteristics.\nScreen printing proved ideal for the aesthetic movements of the sixties; \"Pop\" art imagery and recognizable symbols of modern culture into new artistic statements; politics, \"free\" advertising and non commersial decoration.\nSilkscreen is a non-expensive and easy way to set up workshops and a technique more accessible than any other print medium.\nm o r e . . .",

        "title": "Sex between women is often not taken seriously",
        "raw_content": "Science, too, finds it difficult to behave in a way that may be outside the social norm, but is still completely normal. For a long time, the view of love among women was masculine \u2013 and therefore afflicted with prejudices. In public discussions, lesbian sex usually only appeared in one form: as a pornographic model for heterosexual men.\nThis had nothing to do with the wishes and needs of women. Such a representation caused heterosexual men to believe that lesbians would only have sex with each other because they lacked a man. But it also meant that women with lesbian tendencies hardly found any realistic role models that would have offered them orientation for their lives.\nSexual science shaped by men\nThe history of sexual science was written mainly by men. These lesbians mentioned rather incidentally \u2013 they were mainly interested in male sexuality. Studies on sexuality among women were at best inserted as anecdotes and, by the way, it was thought that what applied to men could simply be adopted for women. It has nothing to do with feminism.\nOne of the reasons for the stepmotherly treatment was that, until a few decades ago, women\u2019s participation in scientific and social life was very limited.\nAnd men could hardly ever imagine that women could find satisfaction with each other and without male participation.\nThe concealment of their sexuality has long shaped the lives of lesbians.\nAnd the question of why lesbians are the way they are arises again and again.\nMany prejudices\nFor many women, the question of the biological causes of homosexuality plays a less important role. Feminists encourage their sisters to determine their own lives \u2013 and consequently their own sexuality. They can only do this if they assume that they are not helplessly at the mercy of their natural urges.\nEven the sexual researchers from the Kinsey Institute were not very helpful in giving the lesbians a positive image of orientation when they said that they had less sexual activity than homosexual and heterosexual men. After all, they had only counted the number of orgasms. Lesbian desire that extends to the whole body and knows more than just a genital climax did not occur in such studies.\nLess interest in ephemeral sexual contacts\nNo wonder that in the course of an emerging lesbian movement a whole series of questions had to be discussed: Are lesbians allowed to use dildos, or is penetration just an imitation of heterosexuality? Are vibrators and other sex toys allowed, and what about S&M games and pornography? As was customary in the post-war years, are couples still allowed to play a male-female role?\nSuch topics were fiercely debated until the lesbian movement became more serene with increasing self-confidence. Today, lesbians judge their sex less by its political significance than by how relieving, liberating and satisfying they experience it. In a survey, 82 percent said that sexuality is important to them. They often find it more tender, emotional, empathetic and satisfying than with a man.\nLesbians have less interest in impersonal, ephemeral sexual contact than gays, and they tend more to move in monogamous relationships. Overall, they have fewer sexual contacts. Or, as the American cultural historian Camille Paglia puts it: \u201cGays may seek sex without feelings, but lesbians often find themselves with feelings without sex\u201d.\nPsychology and psychoanalysis\nThe first scientific reports about women who fell in love with women only reflected the prejudices of sexual researchers: Actually the \u2018contrary feeling\u2019 woman was imitating a man. Somehow she had remained a little behind. There were no other physical abnormalities to be found, and so one came to the conclusion that lesbian behaviour was an expression of a mental disorder \u2013 such as neurosis. Perhaps acquired through too much contact between women in dormitories, monasteries or prisons or through relationships with the wrong men.\nIt was Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis, who first looked at female homosexuality more objectively: for him, it was one of several equal possibilities. Freud assumed that man is open to any sexual choice of partner from the ground up: homosexuality does not arise solely from life-history influences, but is already there together with the possibility of heterosexuality. Only when people turn to one side or the other does one have to ask why they are doing this. But above all, homosexuality was not a disease for him.\nAt last it was clear: homosexuality is not a disease.\nThis did not prevent other psychotherapists, however, from doing doctor\u2019s work on lesbians and gays and trying to exorcise their preference. For example, they had ideas that the woman was disgusted by the man because she had met an impotent husband or perverted freelancer. The idea that one could be \u2018seduced\u2019 to homosexuality was also widespread: If the student had only played erotic games with her teacher once or if the prisoner had had sex with a fellow prisoner once, then there would be no way back \u2013 that was the prejudice.\nA few decades later, the Kinsey Institute interviewed tens of thousands of American women about their sexual behavior. When the Kinsey staff examined these data to find out what they had to say about the influence of the parents\u2019 house on the development of lesbian daughters and gay sons, it became clear that the role of parents was not as big as psychotherapists thought. Whether they encouraged or punished homosexual games, whether they argued or how they shaped their position of power in the family \u2013 all this was independent of the orientation of the offspring. Their families were not broken or healed than the families of the heteros. Even seduction through rape or other sexual encounters could not be statistically proven.\nMany other tests came to similar results: All psychological problems with which lesbians or gays came to the psychiatrist could be explained with the same reasons as the problems of their heterosexual fellow citizens. Homosexuality itself was not the disease.\nIn 1974, American psychiatrists deleted the clinical picture of \u201chomosexuality\u201d from their diagnostic catalogue.\nIn 1992 it finally disappeared from the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) of the World Health Organization. For the Professional Association of German Specialists in Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, homosexuality today is not a disease but a common form of human coexistence and does not require therapy.\nWhen, in the early 1990s, the eyes turned to research into the human genome, the \u201cgay gene\u201d also appeared. Scientists believed they had found it by comparing families with gay sons. There was no mention of a \u201clesbian gene\u201d \u2013 after all, only men were examined. But what applies to gays will probably also apply to lesbians, thought sexual science and had once again \u2018meant\u2019 women.\nStudies on pairs of twins proved to be just as untenable. Researchers had already reported in the 1960s that identical twins always have the same orientation. They did not find this phenomenon in two egg twins. This would be a clear indication that education has nothing to do with sexual orientation, which is exclusively determined by genes.\nBut the world is never as clear as it sometimes seems. After a series of family and twin studies, one can now make a note: In the case of identical twins, the probability that both are homosexual is significantly higher than in the case of two identical twins. This is also true for lesbians, but the difference is not as clear for them as it is for gays. Conclusion: Maybe there isn\u2019t \u2018that\u2019 a homo gene, but somehow the genes will contribute to how sexual preference develops.\nGenetic research does not provide clear answers\nThe idea that genes make people lesbian or gay means that scientists do not even know how they are supposed to do this. However, these can only be indirect effects in which a number of chemical processes take place in the body that shape the way we feel and think. A whole series of genes are probably responsible for these complicated processes.\nThe American geneticist Dean Hamer, together with his colleague Brian Mustanski, claims to have identified three of these genes, namely on chromosomes 7, 8 and 10. But even they do not believe that these gene segments are the only ones responsible for homosexuality, and they are probably not exclusively responsible for homosexuality either.",

        "raw_content": "Blackburn School Started 109 Years Ago, Now Is Closed\nAnnexation to Jamesport District of Daviess County was in spring.\nBlackburn school district was organized 109 years ago. The minutes of the first meeting read: Ordered that school Township 59 in Range 25 organize for school purposes. Ordered that Thomas Hutchinson be appointed school commissioner of said township and that W. C. Davis and Levi Cox be appointed school inspectors for said township. Dated February 6, 1845. Signed \u2013 Abel Cox, Clerk. This notation follows: \u201cI do certify the above to be a true copy of the original order this 7 day of February, 1845. Signed J. W. Bills, T. C.\u201d\nAbout five weeks later the following minutes were recorded: The inhabitants met in pursuance of an order of the court at the house of William F. Hicklin on the 15th day of March 1845 for school purposes in Township 59, Range 25 and was organized by calling James A. Davis to the chair. The meeting then proceeded to the following business: Thomas Hutchinson elected school commissioner, Levi Cox, Alexander Dockery, William F. Perry and John W. Boyle, elected inspectors. James S. Moseley elected township clerk.\n\u201cIt is determined that Township 59 be laid off in four districts, designated as follows: No. 1 in the northeast, No. 2 in the northwest, No. 3 in the southwest and No. 4 in the southeast. The board than adjourned to meet at the house of William Hicklin on the first Saturday in March, 1846. By order of the board of directors. Signed \u2013 James S. Moseley, township clerk.\u201d\nThe last names of the seven men who furnished the funds for building the first school were Berry, Kesler, Carson, Davis, Ramsey, Blackburn and Hutchison.\nThe first schoolhouse was built on the 1,200 acre farm of Thomas Hutchison, who was the first teacher. Since he lived to be a centenarian, he saw the erection of the four school buildings in Blackburn district.\nMrs. Barbee Boyle Hutchison of Kansas City who from an old school record furnished the date for the school\u2019s earliest history writes: \u201cThe shady woodland selected for the first school house, provided not only running water, but a deepened creek bed of living water. The grounds contained some grassy knolls or Indian mounds. A wagon road ran alongside. By this time the grounds were covered with bluegrass from sod which Mr. Hutchison had brought from Kentucky in 1842. The bluegrass was first sown in fence corners, and when ripened, neighbors came and stripped the seed by hand, this being the origin of the bluegrass of north Livingston.\u201d\nThe late John Kesler and his wife, Alice Rose Kesler, parents of Mrs. Minnie Hedrick of Chillicothe attended school in the first building when they were children. It was built of logs and had a dirt floor. The seats were made of split logs and had no backs. Greased paper was used for window panes. The room was heated by a fireplace.\nMrs. Hedrick recalls that her mother told of using goose quills for pens and the juice of poke berries for in ink. Dippers were made of gourds. Clothing was then made mostly of home-made materials. Woolen cloth was dyed brown by using walnut hulls. The bark from the oak tree produced yellow dye and Crab bark, green.\nChildren enjoyed playing ball. Their bats were often pieces of broken rails and the balls were made of yarn ravel stockings which had been hand-knit. On Friday afternoon often sang in unison the names of the state capitals.\nOn March 4, 1854, Thomas and Mary Hutchison deeded a square acre of land for a school site in the southwest corner in the northwest quarter of Section 9, Township 59, Range 25 on which the second school house was built. It was about a mile southwest of the first school site. A state highway now traverses this site.\nThe school site was moved across the road in Section 8, Township 59, Range 25, during the Civil War. The acre of land deeded for the site was given by Gus Snidow and the school was then called Blackburn. The third and fourth building were erected on this site.\nThe Snidow family cemetery, which is very old, bounds the school grounds on the south. For many years there was not even a fence separating them. In later years, a high fence was erected between the school grounds and the cemetery.\nTwo of the graves are marked by old sandstone rocks, the inscriptions obliterated. Doubtlessly these stones were carried from a nearby pasture and marked and inscribed by members of the family. They were people by the name of Webb. The next burial was Temp Snidow, who died June 23, 1857. There are a few unmarked graves and no burials for many years.\nThe school yard is bounded on the west by a high fence, on the east by Route F and on the north by a farm to market graveled road. The school is a mile and a half south of the Grundy County line and two miles east of Daviess County.\nThe district was large and enrollment increased during the terms Frank Schuler was teacher, it numbered more than eighty pupils.\nMrs. Hedrick, who was Minnie Kesler when attended Blackburn, started there in 1884. She is the oldest living pupil of the school. Her parents lived a mile south of the school. She had a brother, Homer, who attended Blackburn school and later served as the district clerk for more than 30 years.\nMrs. Hedrick\u2019s maternal grandparents were Dr. and Mrs. J. W. Rose, who came from Kentucky. They lived a mile south of the first school. Dr. Rose was a pioneer doctor with a large practice which extended south to Grand river just north of Utica, north to Hickory, 15 miles to the east, and 20 miles to the west. Many times it was necessary him to make a path through the underbrush to reach a patient. Often he had to be away from home for several days at a time, since he would be called from the home of one patient to the home of another. He took his pay in wheat, bacon, corn, hams, or whatever the farmer had to pay with.\nMrs. Hedrick\u2019s paternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Kesler, came from Bottertout County, Virginia. They lived two miles southeast of the school.\nThe third school was a frame building which faced the east. The interior was ceiled. The home-made desks faced west and would seat four pupils each. There two windows in the west, three each on both the north and south sides. The door was in the east. The blackboard was between the two west windows. A platform extended across the west end. Manufactured desks were used later.",

These cities are also well known as tourism hot spots, and each has its own selling points in both regards. The central region of Canada, from Quebec City down to Windsor, is the most highly populated region of the country, and that means that most of the business, development, and governing of the nation occurs in this one relatively small area.\nOn this site, we are focused on one of the largest cities in the corridor and the nation, London Ontario. As is the case with many Ontario cities, London is rather poorly represented on the national scene despite having the tenth greatest population in the country. This is ahead of several provincial capitals and located in the hub of Canadian activity. Still, it has never had a major league team in any sport and you rarely hear about the city on the news. In large part, this is due to the fact that London is just one of several huge metropolitan centres in this part of Canada; Ottawa, Hamilton, and of course that definer of Canadian metropolis, Toronto.\nIn spite of London's lack of national recognition,, the city still provides a lot of work and places to live for a huge percentage of the Canadian population. We think that means the city merits its own comprehensive website, something we have endeavoured to put together here.\nIt is all well and good for us to blow London's horn here in the introduction, but you are probably interested in what exactly you can look forward to on our London site. Well, our primary focus will be on the residential opportunities available in the city. The nickname of London is the Forest City, and as you might be able to infer there is a concentration on maintaining and increasing the green space throughout the municipality. This makes London one of the premiere locations in Ontario for those who love the idea of combining ultramodern metropolis living with a lot of vegetation and scenic views and countryside.\nOf course, most will be interested in why people live in London, aside from the draw of the scenery. The fact is that this city has a diverse and vibrant economy with roots in several sectors and that continues to expand each year. It is one of the most diverse manufacturing municipalities in Canada, with some very interesting companies and projects coming out of London each year (we don't want to get too specific just yet, but we will say that some of history's most fascinating machines have been built in London, at least from the Canadian side of things).\nAs for recreational opportunities, well, you can expect to find these explored on our website as well. You can expect any city with a population of over 300,000 to be a major hub, with concerts, cultural events, outdoor recreation, sports leagues, and other forms of entertainment. London is home to several stadiums, arenas, libraries, museums, and art galleries to satisfy anyone looking for cutting-edge cultural experiences in the city. In fact, London's cultural contributions are among the most original and comprehensive in the country, a fact that has contributed greatly to the rise in the number of tourists in the city each year. Read what Trip Advisor says are the top reasons thousands visit this city every single year.\nLondon also has a concentration on local events. Several parades, festivals, and celebrations are held in the city on an annual basis. Each year, these events attract more and more people and some of the festivals have grown to be among the biggest in the nation. London is also home to several production companies who contribute to the fine arts scene of the city, another topic you will hear more about in our articles.\nAll in all, we think that you will find London, Ontario a fascinating place, perfect for a visit or to make a permanent home. We will show you proof in the articles on this website, where we explore London in all its glory. If you know your heart is set on London Ontario, your next step is to sell your current property. If you live in the Toronto area, may we suggest you give the Toronto real estate brokers at CentralToronto.net a visit. If you live in another area, try doing a search online for a local real estate agent.",

        "raw_content": "Earlier this year, Senators Susan Collins (R-ME) and Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) re-introduced the Recognize, Assist, Include, Support, and Engage (RAISE) Family Caregivers Act (S. 1028) in the U.S. Senate. Senators Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and Michael Bennet (D-CO) are original co-sponsors. This legislation, which AHCA/NCAL supports, would implement the federal Commission on Long-Term Care\u2019s bipartisan recommendation that Congress require the development of a strategy to support family caregivers. The bill would create an advisory body to bring together representatives from the private and public sectors to advise and make recommendations. The strategy would identify recommended actions that communities, providers, government, and others are taking and may take to recognize and support family caregivers and be updated. On Tuesday, September 26, of last week, the full U.S. Senate considered and passed this legislation with an amendment in the nature of a substitute by unanimous consent. The amendment in the nature of substitute is consistent with The RAISE Family Caregivers Act - H.R. 3759 recently introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives. The legislation now awaits full House consideration.\nAARP notes that about 40 million family caregivers provide about $470 billion annually in unpaid care to their loved ones. According to the Caregiving in the U.S. 2015 study from the National Alliance for Caregiving and AARP, about 3.7 million family caregivers provide care to a child under age 18 because of a medical, behavioral, or other condition or disability, and 6.5 million family caregivers assist both adults and children.",

You pay dearly if you make a wrong move or wrong decision\nRee Dolly is 16 and the main person in the book. She is a tough cookie, who doesn\u2019t seem to take no shit at all, at least not on the outside. She is taking care of her younger brothers, making sure they get fed and go to school, and she teaches them to shoot. She is also taking care of the mother who seems to suffer from an almost catatonic pshycosis. Her dad, who has been in prison numerous times, has disappeared. His disappearance is not something that is unusual, because it has happened before.\nBut this time it is more serious than Ree can imagine, he has jumped bail and used the house as security, and Ree is being told by the police that she, the mother and the two brothers need to get out of the house as soon as possible.\nRee can keep the house if she finds her fater \u2013 dead or alive, it doesn\u2019t matter \u2013 the court just need to know where he is, and if he is dead, they can keep the house. This leads Ree on a regular quest into her large family\u2019s darkest and most dirty corners, and while this might sound like a cosy and classic plot for a mystery, I can guarantee that there is absolutely nothing cosy about Winter\u2019s Bone.\nIt is an evil, violent and rough tale and the style in which it is written feels almost like social realism. Unfortunately it is not hard to imagine how life is out there in the middle of nowhere, in a place where poverty has been running through generation after generation. Ree\u2019s only bright spots in her life is her dream of joining the army, listening to stress-tapes with soothing sounds and maybe a cuddle with her girlfriend\nMean and icy and extremely well written, the reader will feel the cold and gritty atmosphere. Even thought eh novel is a short one it is a tough read and it is hard core. I liked it. And I am going to watch the movie soon.\n| Tags: Alcoholism, American, Crank, Family, Meth, Ozark Mountains, Poverty, Substance Abuse, White Trash\n2 Reply to \u201cWinter\u2019s Bone by Daniel Woodrell\u201d\nI haven't read the book, but if it is as good as the film, it is great.

        "raw_content": "When Amber and I realized we were reading the same book at the same time, we thought it would be fun to swap places for the day to do our reviews. So please welcome Amber, and when you're done reading her review, hop over to her blog to read what I thought!\nHello Love Everyday Life readers, I'm Amber from Girl with the Red Hair. Becky and I both recently finished reading Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay so we have decided to blog swap for the day and share our thoughts on the book.\nExcerpt from Goodreads: Paris, July 1942: Sarah, a ten year-old girl, is brutally arrested with her family by the French police in the Vel\u2019 d\u2019Hiv\u2019 roundup, but not before she locks her younger brother in a cupboard in the family's apartment, thinking that she will be back within a few hours.\nParis, May 2002: On Vel\u2019 d\u2019Hiv\u2019s 60th anniversary, journalist Julia Jarmond is asked to write an article about this black day in France's past. Through her contemporary investigation, she stumbles onto a trail of long-hidden family secrets that connect her to Sarah. Julia finds herself compelled to retrace the girl's ordeal, from that terrible term in the Vel d'Hiv', to the camps, and beyond. As she probes into Sarah's past, she begins to question her own place in France, and to reevaluate her marriage and her life.\nTo be honest, when I started writing this review I sat here staring at the screen for a long time. This was an incredibly thought-provoking book that really gripped me emotionally. The numbers that are shared in the book about how many Jewish families were rounded up to go to Auschwitz are appalling. And, like many people, I had no idea this had happened. I was in Paris just over a year ago and if I had read this book before then I think I would have visited the monument remembering this horrific event and remembering the families who were sent to their deaths.\nThe horror that these families went through is recounted in the book in a way that pulled me in and gripped at my heart. It was tough to read at times because of this. I was horrified, yet I couldn't put the book down. The way de Rosnay wrote kept me turning page after page.\nI became less happy with the book about halfway through and in my mind the first half of the book was much better than the second. I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars on Goodreads for this reason.\nI would be interested in reading more Historical Fiction novels about the Vel d'Hiv' as I found it fascinating and it's clearly something the world should be more educated about. I didn't want to give away the book in my blog post, so I've grabbed two discussion questions that I thought would be interesting and if you've read the book please discuss your answers in the comments.\n1. Sarah\u2019s Key is composed of two different storylines\u2014Sarah\u2019s and Julia\u2019s. Did you like the way this was set up or did you prefer one story over the other?\nI definitely preferred Sarah's story over Julia's and would have preferred to read more of Sarah's story than what was shared in the book. The fact that this book shared a lot less of Sarah's story than Julia's is a big reason I only gave it 4 stars instead of 5.\n2. What do you think the major theme of the novel is and how does the element of mystery weave into that?\nI think my answer to this question might be a little bit of a spoiler - You've been warned!! I don't know if this is THE major theme of the novel, but a theme I saw weaved throughout is to fight for what you want. Sarah would not give up on getting back to her brother and Julia would not give up on her baby. The theme of death and grieving is obviously a huge theme in this book as well.\nHave you read this book? Did you like it? Let me know what you thought and your answers to the above two questions in the comments!\nThanks Amber! Let us know what you think readers - and then head over to see what I thought about Sarah's Key.\nLabels: Book Reviews, books, guest blogs\nI read and absolutely loved this book. It's one that I recommend to many people as it's just such an amazing book.\nI actually liked both Sarah & Julia's story lines. I thought the author did an amazing job of going back and forth between the two narrators very seamlessly. It's been a couple of years since I read it, so some of the details are foggy, but this is def a book I will never forget.\nI cannot wait to read this book. I have had it from the library for two weeks now and haven't been able to get started on it. Once I am finished with the book I am currently reading I am hopefully going to devour this one!\nGreat review, Amber! :)\nI just bought this book! Looking forward to beginning it.\nI have the book on hold at the library, but there are probably 50 people in front of me! But once I get my turn, I can't wait to read it!\nYay I'm glad we blog swapped today! This was fun :)\nI keep wanting to read this book, but have been holding out on my library to get it cuz I didn't want to buy yet another book until I have cleared my shelves..which is never gonna happen at this rate!\nThis is the book I tell everyone to read when they ask for recommendations. I read it in 2009 and I still can't quite shake it. I think partly that is because I had been to the Vel d'Hiv monument and studied that when I lived in Paris.\nAcross the street from my place was a little \"\u00e9cole maternelle\" with a big black sign \"in memory of the innocent little children who were deported simply because they were born Jewish, victims of the Nazi barbarism with the active complicity of the Vichy government and who died in the concentration camps.\" (rough translation) I think until that moment, decades of having \"studied\" WWII meant nothing and it finally came to life for me. It's still a school and little kids play there every day.",

        "raw_content": "Sunday Reflections - Change, Discomfort, Resentment & Renewal - A Big Week for Mama\nWell Folks. I had A HUGE WEEK. A big step in my quest to work on my mind/body connection.\nI made a dramatic change in my life. HUGE. Its the reason I have been so stressed out over the past couple months.............and why I missed a post on Friday!\nI left a job I have been doing for 14 years.\nA job I was comfortable doing. A job I was good at. A job where I didn't have to prove myself. A job where I was established.\nA job where I was an auditor (not the worlds favorite person). A job that was extremely challenging and deadline driven. A job where I was chronically stressed out. A job that spilled over into every aspect of my life. A job that often meant very LONG hours and feeling on-call a lot of the time (that darn Blackberry is a curse and a blessing).\nA job that didn't fit with the new me. A me that is trying to find balance. A me that is trying to stay true to her values. A me that is exercising. A me that is eating clean. A me that is trying to have a calmer mind. A me that is determined to get off the adrenaline roller coaster.\nA me that is trying to thrive not just survive.\nSo I put my name in for a job that is challenging and interesting. Where I can still grow as a professional. But in a way that will give me balance. A job that is 50%. 17.5 hours a week. No overtime.\nBut it was hard to make this leap. To take this big step.\nI had to go through some major discomfort to get to this result. I had to get a resume ready when I really didn't have time. I had to go to interviews which are always stressful and I was way out of practice. I had to wait. And wait. And wait to find out what was happening at each step in the process.\nIt was an uncomfortable process.\nAnd then I had to leave my current job. And that was REALLY hard. I move mountains to try and not disappoint people. But there was no way to get to this point without disappointing people.\nAnd then I had to say Goodbye to co-workers and friends. I had to say Goodbye to what I know and what I am comfortable with. To the potential for advancement and $$$$ that could have eventually come on my old career path.\nA wise woman (you know who you are) shared something with me recently. This is the same person that first made me realize I needed to deal with the mind (stress) part of the mind/body connection if I was really ever going to find balance and long-term health.\nShe shared with me a theory that you have to go through discomfort to avoid resentment.\nCertain personalities push themselves to do things that cause us to \"overdo it\". And over time this can lead us into the burn out zone. Whether its feeling like our houses need to be showroom clean. Or we have to say \"yes\" every time we are asked to do something. Or we always throw our hands up to lead projects.\nWe feel an overwhelming need to not disappoint others. Its our greatest fear. And a great motivator for us to do things.\nThe problem is that it often motivates us to do things that we don't have time for. That don't necessarily bring us joy or balance or health. That we frankly don't want to do. And probably shouldn't do. But we feel so compelled to not disappoint.\nAre you one of those people? Are you doing things that you resent. Do you feel resentment to certain tasks or people because you are doing something that you don't want to do. But you are driven to do it anyway.\nYou don't have to. You have a choice. You can go through some discomfort (quitting a job, finding a job, saying no to someone). Yes - you might have to disappoint someone along the way.\nBut you can either disappoint them and then end up being happy with what you are doing (or not doing) or keep doing things you don't want to do and end up resenting them or it.\nThat's where I was with my job. I resented the overtime. I resented my Blackberry. I struggled with not letting that overshadow all my feelings towards my job but I couldn't do it anymore. There were many positives about my job - I worked with some great people, I learned something new every day, I was challenged, I had great flexibility. But all I could see anymore was how it was taking my time, and probably just as importantly, my mental energy away from my kids. Away from all the things I NEED to keep doing to keep myself on the right path to health.\nAnd I was becoming a person I didn't want to be. I couldn't stand to be around my own negative thoughts anymore. I'm a positive person but it was consuming me and dragging me down.\nSo I went through some BIG TIME DISCOMFORT to get away from the resentment. To make the change I needed to make.\nAnd I'm so happy I did. I'm sorry that I had to disappoint people. I really am. But I just had to do it. And they will get over it.\nSo I'm proud of myself. It was hard. There were many moments where I just wanted to stay with what was comfortable to me. But I did it.\nSo here's to a new chapter of my career. And here's to going through discomfort to getting yourself closer to the best version of you!",

        "raw_content": "Retro Review - Galaxy, July 1951\nA few days ago, Black Gate posted another review from me. This one was for Galaxy's July, 1951 issue. Enjoy!\nTwo Recent Acceptances\nI'm excited to report that two of my stories have been accepted for publication recently.\nFirst, I had a story accepted for Ares Magazine. This will be a revival of a gaming magazine from the '80s. \"The big idea is to fill a void \u2014 to publish a new magazine that combines a stand-alone, unique, playable board game in every issue with a collection of spectacular, new fiction.\" Ares will be launching a Kickstarter campaign on January 1. If successful, their first issue will appear a few months later.\nMy other acceptance was with Perihelion Science Fiction. \"The Unprofiteers\" is my first attempt at humor, but the story is science fiction as well. An odd mix, perhaps, but I'm sure many people recall Douglas Adams' works that blended humor with sci-fi. (Please note that I'm not comparing myself to him; I'm simply drawing from a popular example.)\nRetro Review - Galaxy, June 1951\nI have a new retro-review up at Black Gate. Today, I'm covering Galaxy's June, 1951 issue. Take a look!\nGalaxy Science Fiction, May 1951 Review\nI have a new retro-review (an oxymoron, I know) up on Black Gate. This one is a review of Galaxy's May, 1951 issue. Take a look!\nPlasma Frequency Anthology\nThe Plasma Frequency anthology is available on Amazon! Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1492791032/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1492791032&linkCode=as2&tag=plasspygpres-20\nI've already ordered the print version. I'm very excited about my first anthology (and first reprint). Enjoy!\nLabels: magazines, publication\nI've decided to take a bit of a break from blogging to focus on other writing projects. I will continue to use this blog for news on publications and such, and I still plan on writing reviews on Galaxy Science Fiction for Black Gate. But I'm going to pause on regular blog entries here.\nWhen I return, I plan on having routine posts rather than sporadic ones. And the posts will be much more focused around the blog's theme. The exact theme is yet to be determined, but it will, of course, be focused in some way on fiction writing. It isn't as though I'm going to start back up with a skiing theme or something else completely out of the blue!\nAgain, this is not an end to the blog but simply a break. In my mind, it's similar to the breaks I take between the first and second drafts of every writing project I undertake. My mind needs time to reflect on what was written and how to improve upon that writing.\nTo those who read this blog: thank you. I'm excited to see where it goes in the future, and I hope you share in my enthusiasm to some degree.\nLabels: blog, writing\nFandomfest and Stan Lee\nLast weekend, my wife and I attended Fandomfest in Louisville, Kentucky. The con tries to combine anime, horror, science fiction, gaming, writing and celebrities together into a single weekend. But the main focus is really on the celebrities.\nWe went because we wanted to meet Stan Lee. Stan is a legend in the comic book world. His writing career at Marvel spanned many years, and his creations include the X-Men, Fantastic Four and Spider-Man (among hundreds of other characters). Now over 90 years old, Stan continues to write because he's doing what he loves, so there would be no point to retire.\nWe splurged for an exclusive meet and greet that took place on Saturday. I asked Stan which character resembles him the most. His hearing isn't the greatest anymore, so I had to repeat part of it. He replied, \"All of them. All of their good points, of course. Uh, probably Tony Stark, 'cause he's so glamorous and intelligent, and the girls love him... I guess I used myself as a model. And if you believe that, I've got a bridge in Brooklyn I'll sell you.\"\nStan and me\nAnother fan asked about his use of adjectives like \"Amazing Spider-Man,\" and beyond the question itself, Stan said, \"I love adjectives... I'll never say one word if twenty will suffice.\" It made me laugh because in today's writing world, we seem so concerned with conciseness. I think we're losing something in our zealousness for brevity.\nWe met other celebrities as well, including Norman Reedus (famous for his role on \"The Walking Dead\"), Alan Tudyk and Adam Baldwin (from \"Firefly\"), and William Shatner. The photos were a quick ten seconds with the celebrities - pose and go. I decided I also wanted Shatner's autograph (just for a bit more face to face time), so we went to his booth on Sunday. After getting his autograph, I asked if I could shake his hand. The pen seemed locked in his right hand, so he shakily extended his left hand. I put my hand over his fingers and gave a light shake. Some people frown when I tell the story, but he looked tired; I don't think he was up for a full handshake at that moment. But hey, I touched his hand, so that counts for something.\nLabels: personal, Stan Lee\nA Guile of Dragons by James Enge\nI recently finished reading James Enge's latest novel, A Guile of Dragons. This is Book One of A Tournament of Shadows. Yes, Enge fans, we now have a series of books coming our way.\nIn A Guile of Dragons, Morlock is born within the Wardlands - a land without formal government that is maintained by the Graith of Guardians. Though raised by dwarves at Thrymhaiam, Morlock leaves that life to join the Graith as a Thain - the lowest of their three ranks.\nSummoner Earno, one of the highest ranking guardians, dreams of vast destruction to the Wardlands, emanating from the north. He asks Morlock to accompany him to Thrymhaiam in search of another summoner.\nSoon after they reach their destination, the dwarves are attacked by a guile (group) of dragons. Earno, who has slain a dragon in the past, orders Morlock to deliver a challenge to the guile's master. By defeating a guile's master, the rest of a guile breaks apart, so Earno's plan seems sound. But Morlock discovers that this guile is itself made up of guile masters. And killing its leader would only give rise to another - not that the mighty Vild Kharum would even listen to a challenge from one such as Morlock.\nThis is a tale of strategy and survival, marked by unexpected turns and exciting adventures. For those unfamiliar with Enge's writing, this is a great place to jump on board. And for those who are already fans, you'll love reading about Morlock's origins.\nGood stories about dwarves and dragons are hard to find. Enge remains inventive and witty throughout the book. You can sense his enjoyment in writing, and it translates to enjoyable reading.\nLabels: fantasy, review\nMonday, I spent the day in the E.R. The reason for the trip was that it felt like my heart was skipping a beat. It was something I had experienced at various points in my life since high school, but this continued for 40 minutes. That was enough for me to decide to head to the E.R. in hopes of finding an answer.\nIn the past when I've gone to the E.R., I've signed in, and registration would give me a packet of paperwork to fill out. And then comes the waiting game. But on Monday, after I mentioned my symptoms, I started to walk away, and they stopped me. The door swung open, and they took me straight to a room where they ran an EKG on me. I have no doubt that had those scans detected something awful, I would have been whisked away to the Operating Room, and veins that are currently in my legs would have ended up around my heart.\nBut things turned out fine with the EKG, so the next stop (via wheelchair) was to my own room in Triage. They drew blood, left an IV in me (no bag hooked to it - just the line itself - in case of emergency), put a bloodpressure gauge around my arm (that would periodically self-inflate), and hooked up several other items to measure my pulse-ox and heartbeat.\nMore tests came in the form of X-Rays and ultrasounds. Later in the day, I had a stress test - which is an expensive run on a treadmill while a thousand wires are taped to your chest. All of this amounted to a diagnosis of heart palpatations with nothing apparently wrong.\nYesterday, I went to a follow-up visit to a cardiologist. I didn't expect much, and I almost didn't go at all. But I hoped that he might reveal something else, even if it meant hooking me up to a 24-hour monitor to detect the condition if it happened again.\nThe cardiologist asked me some questions and then had me sit on the exam table. While he listened to me through his stethescope, my heart repeated its uncertain pattern. He glanced up and asked, \"Did you feel that?\" I tried to contain my excitement when I said I had. \"Is this what you experienced yesterday?\" I told him it was and that he was the first person to ever hear it.\nHe said he knew what it was - a benign condition where the heart does two quick beats, waits a pause, then resumes its normal pattern. It doesn't truly skip a beat, but it can feel that way due to the pause after the two quick beats. He said it will get better with age - how many conditions do that, right? Triggers include caffeine, fatigue, and stress.\nI was extermely pleased to find out the cause of what I've experienced for years. And to know that it's nothing fatal or even impairing (at least not that I've experienced). What a relief!\nAnd Our Lady Splendor\nMy science fiction story, \"And Our Lady Splendor\" is available at Abyss & Apex: http://www.abyssapexzine.com/2013/01/and-our-lady-splendor/\nLabels: publication, stories",

        "title": "The Kurds: A Modern History | Middle East Policy Council",
        "raw_content": "The Kurds: A Modern History\nAhmet Serdar Akturk\nassistant professor of history, Georgia Southern University\nMarkus Wiener Publishers, 2015. 256 pages. $26.95, paperback.\nMichael Gunter, a veteran of Kurdish studies, in The Kurds: A Modern History, revisits their continuing struggle for recognition and statehood. The Arab Spring, the ensuing civil war in Syria, and the sudden rise of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) have made the Kurds and their plight more visible in the Western media. Kurds have gained unprecedented sympathy as a result of their fighting against ISIS, an entity that poses a serious threat to global security. The major argument in Professor Gunter's book is that the rise of the Kurds and ISIS clearly demonstrates the failure of the state system in the Middle East created by the Sykes-Picot Agreement of 1916. This same state system turned the Kurds into the largest nation without their own nation-state. The Kurds' unrealized desire for independence since the end of World War I created the \"Kurdish question\" for Turkey, Iraq, Syria and Iran. Michael Gunter traces the history of this question and of the development of the Kurdish national movements from the nineteenth century to today, when Kurds seem closer than ever before to their dream of statehood and self-rule.\nThe book consists of an introduction and seven chapters. The first chapter, \"Early History,\" is an overview of Kurdish history until the end of the Ottoman era. Gunter examines the theories regarding the origins of the Kurds that explain their role in Muslim history. He emphasizes the richness of literary tradition in different parts of Kurdistan but also explains the cultural disunity caused by the existence of mutually unintelligible dialects. Kurdistan was ruled by the Ottoman Empire and the dynasties that governed Persia from the sixteenth to the twentieth century. But autonomous Kurdish emirates ruled Ottoman Kurdistan until their suppression as a result of the Westernizing Ottoman reforms in the nineteenth century. The author explains how the suppression of the powerful Kurdish emirs like Bedir Khan of the Botan Emirate led to the rise of Sufi religious leaders. He mentions Shaykh Ubaydullah, who made use of the term \"Kurdish nation\" for the first time during his uprising in the 1880s. The author indicates, however, that, in addition to their tribal loyalties and linguistic disunity, the Kurds' religious connection with the Ottoman Turks prevented the rise of anything similar to the modern concept of nationalism until the collapse of the Ottoman Empire after World War I.\nThat war changed the whole Middle East. The new state system, first planned by the British and French in their Sykes-Picot Agreement in 1916, was put into practice after the dismemberment of the Ottoman Empire. Kurdish territories were divided among four states, namely Turkey, Iraq, Syria and Iran. Gunter examines the Kurdish experience in each state in separate chapters. Unlike the multiethnic and multireligious Ottoman Empire, the new nation-states would deny Kurdish identity as a threat to their territorial integrity. In Turkey, Kurds actually had supported the War of Independence led by Mustafa Kemal (Ataturk). Despite his emphasis on the religious fraternity of Kurds and Turks, Mustafa Kemal adopted a more secular and Turkish-nationalist approach after the foundation of the Turkish Republic in 1923. Gunter indicates that the new Turkish state denied Kurdish identity and identified the Kurds' struggle for recognition as a security issue. He explains the Kurdish revolts during the early decades of the republic and the founding of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) in 1978 as a reaction to the Turkish state's denial of Kurdish identity and rights. Since 1984, the PKK-led insurgency has cost about 40,000 lives.\nGunter then examines the attempts by two Turkish leaders to find a solution to the Kurdish question. President Turgut \u00d6zal's initiative in the late 1980s achieved cultural and linguistic rights for Kurds, but the military conflict resumed shortly afterward. A more recent attempt by former prime minister (2003-14) and current president Recep Tayyip Erdogan is called the \"Kurdish Opening.\" Though his governments initiated important reforms regarding Kurdish rights, hopes for a permanent cease-fire emerged only in 2013. However, the peace process came to an end after less than two years, and Erdogan has more recently adopted a security approach toward the PKK. Gunter believes the peace process failed because the Turkish government did not meet PKK expectations regarding Kurdish rights in Turkey or the fate of Abdullah Ocalan, the imprisoned PKK leader. The Syrian civil war and the PKK-affiliated PYD's gaining ground on the Turkish border are other factors. Erdogan turned toward Masud Barzani, the president of the Kurdish Regional Government (KRG) in Iraq, to marginalize the PKK and Ocalan. Gunter believes that Turkey's close relations with the KRG would not mean much for the Kurdish question in Turkey, since the main Kurdish party in Turkey is the PKK.\nThe next chapter presents the historical development of the Kurdish national movement in Iraq after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, when the British mandate replaced Ottoman rule in the former provinces of Mosul, Baghdad and Basra. The Kurdish nationalist movement in Iraq revolved around two iconic leaders, Shaykh Mahmud Barzanji and Mullah Mustafa Barzani. Since independence in 1932, the Kurds had suffered from an Arab nationalism that viewed Iraq as an exclusively Arab country and Gunter indicates that Kurdish nationalism developed in reaction to it. Arab nationalism then evolved into Baathism, eventually represented by Saddam Hussein between 1979 and 2003. The first Gulf War in 1991 and the creation of a no-fly zone in 1992 paved the way for the creation of the KRG, which Gunter describes as the most successful Kurdish state-building effort in modern times.\nDespite conflicts that have seriously threatened Kurdish unity in Iraq, Masoud Barzani's Kurdish Democratic Party (KDP) and Jalal Talabani's Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) played major roles in building the KRG, which was officially recognized in the Iraqi Constitution in 2003. Gunter notes the dramatic improvement in relations between the KRG led by Masoud Barzani and Turkey under Erdogan's leadership \u2014 Turkey does not even oppose the idea of the KRG's independence from Iraq. Despite the fact that the KRG seems close to independence, the author also explains the material and institutional challenges the Iraqi Kurds need to overcome.\nThe next chapter focuses on the Syrian Kurds. Under the French mandate after World War I, Syria became an important center for Kurdish political and cultural activism until its independence in 1946. In addition to the Kurds in major urban centers and Kurdish enclaves in northern Syria, Kurdish refugees also arrived from Turkey. A Kurdish nationalist organization, Khoybun, operated in Syria and Lebanon and spearheaded the Ararat Rebellion (1928-31) against Turkey. Exiled Kurdish nationalists from Turkey played a major role in Syria and Lebanon. The Jaladet, Sureya and Kamuran brothers from the princely Bedirkhan family, for example, led a Kurdish cultural movement. The end of the French mandate and the eventual rise of the Baath regime in Syria created a serious backlash for the Kurds. Gunter indicates that the Baath regime came to view Kurds as a foreign threat to the Arab nation, and it repressed them after the early 1960s. Kurds in Syria, as a result, came to be less known in the West, as compared to their compatriots in Iraq, Turkey and Iran. Some Kurds were stripped of their citizenship in 1962 on the grounds that they supposedly all came from Turkey. Moreover, the state tried to Arabize the Kurdish territories in northern Syria. Gunter adds that the fractured Kurdish political-party system is another reason for the invisibility of the Syrian Kurds until the early 2000s.\nIt is important to note that, although Syrian Kurds were harshly treated, Syrian President Hafiz al-Assad hosted the PKK and its leader, Ocalan, until 1998 in order to gain leverage against Turkey. The beginning of the civil war in March 2011 made the Kurds of Syria visible to the international community. The most powerful Kurdish party in Syria is now the PKK-affiliated PYD, which intimidates other Kurdish parties in Syria with its military forces and cooperation with Bashar al-Assad's regime. The Kurds declared autonomy in July 2012, and the PYD's fight against ISIS has increased their legitimacy despite the fact that Turkey views them as a terrorist organization for their affiliation with the PKK. The author believes that \"the longer the Syrian civil war takes, the more likely Kurdish autonomy will become regularized and institutionalized.\"\nFinally, the author traces the development of Kurdish nationalism in Iran, an exceptional case due to the ethnic affinity between Persians and Kurds. Gunter indicates that the Iranian state, in fact, has used this affinity to moderate Kurdish national demands. Shaikh Ubaydullah and Simko emerged as prominent traditional Kurdish leaders, operating between Persia and the Ottoman Empire in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The most significant Kurdish political experience in Iran was the creation of the Mahabad Republic of Kurdistan in 1946. It lasted for a year and ended with the Soviet withdrawal from northern Iran. Its founder, Qadi Muhammad, also the leader of the Kurdistan Democratic Party of Iran (KDPI), was executed by the Iranian state after the collapse of the Mahabad Republic. This short-lived state had pan-Kurdish tendencies; in fact, Mullah Mustafa Barzani from Iraqi Kurdistan served as the chief of its army. But Gunter indicates that the Islamic Revolution and the ensuing war between Iran and Iraq (1980-88) effectively internationalized the Kurdish question in Iran. The Islamic regime continued the Pahlavi Dynasty's stance toward the Kurdish national movement and assassinated the popular Kurdish leader Abdul Rahman Ghassemlou during negotiations in Vienna in 1992. The creation of the PKK-affiliated PJAK in 2004 created a new challenge for Iran. Gunter indicates that, even though both Turkey and Iran try to prevent the creation of a Kurdish state, they have involved themselves in conflicts between the Kurdish parties to increase their own regional influence.\nThe chapter entitled \"The United States and the Kurds\" examines the evolution of American policy toward the Kurds, starting with President Woodrow Wilson's principle of national self-determination after World War I. The second \"stage\" of U.S.-Kurdish relations is also called the Mullah Mustafa Barzani stage, since the United States supported his rebellion against the Iraqi central government during the early 1970s. The third stage starts with the first Gulf War, which paved the way for the creation of the KRG in 1992. The fourth is the beginning of a de facto alliance with the KRG in 1993, when the Untied States decided to topple Saddam Hussein. The KRG gained official status in the new Iraqi constitution at this time. Gunter indicates that the United States is very popular among the Iraqi Kurds, since the KRG owes its very existence to the United States. He adds, however, that the Kurds are also very cautious; the United States has abandoned them twice \u2014 in 1975 and 1992 \u2014 after initially encouraging them to rise up against the central government. The fifth is the PKK stage. Gunter indicates that the Iraqi Kurds are the \"good Kurds\" from the point of view of American foreign policy, in contrast to \"the bad Kurds\" of the PKK, officially branded by Washington as a terrorist organization. This is not only because the PKK kills noncombatants and engages in illegal activities, but because it poses a threat to Turkey, a NATO member and U.S. strategic ally. The United States played a major role in the capture of PKK leader Abdullah Ocalan in 1998.\nThe sixth stage of U.S. policy toward the Kurds starts with the Syrian civil war. The author believes the United States should not bomb Syria to bring down the Assad regime; this action would escalate the war and empower militant groups like ISIS. Instead, Gunter recommends that the United States resist Turkish pressure and refrain from denouncing the PKK-affiliated PYD, the strongest Kurdish party currently battling ISIS. This chapter demonstrates that \"the United States has come to affect the Kurdish situation perhaps more than any other state\" and that \"the United States does not have a ground strategy toward the Kurds since they live in four separate states.\"\nThe last chapter is on ISIS and the Kurds, the two non-state actors that, the author believes, mark the end of the traditional state system in the Middle East. The rise of ISIS in Iraq and its sudden capture of Mosul in June 2014 has shown the weakness of the Iraqi government and revealed its lack of legitimacy. These events initially empowered the KRG vis-\u00e0-vis the Iraqi central government, but eventually created a major threat when ISIS attacked the KRG in August 2014 and drew perilously close to its capital. Ultimately, American military aid helped the KRG stop ISIS. Gunter lists strategic, historical and religious reasons why ISIS chose to attack the Kurds, but ISIS gained strength in Syria, too. As such, the author indicates that the PYD has proven itself to be the most unified and secular opposition group fighting against ISIS in Syria. Neighboring Turkey, however, favors other opposition groups and equates backing the PYD with supporting the PKK. Thus, the PYD has been excluded from the peace talks. The author believes that both Turkey and the United States have not been able to effectively adapt to the changing geopolitical realities in which Kurds play a prominent role. Instead, they remain committed to preserving \"the former Iraq and Syria.\"\nIn The Kurds: A Modern History, Michael Gunter clarifies a complex web of relations among Kurdish political groups, Middle Eastern states, and Western powers. His active engagement in Kurdish issues for the last few decade includes meeting with PKK leader Abdullah Ocalan in Damascus in 1995, attending the Kurdish Democratic Party congress in 1993, and meeting with the leader of the Kurdistan Democratic Party of Iran, Mostafa Hejri, in Iraqi Kurdistan in 2012. It is great reading for students, scholars and anyone else interested in understanding the Kurds' rising influence in the Middle East. The book might also be useful for policy makers in Washington, Ankara, Tehran, Baghdad and Damascus.",

Its inquiry is entitled \"Roots of Violent Radicalisation.\"\nRegarding this historic appearance [Mr. King is the first American legislator to so testify] the Congressman said:\n\"While I have consistently stated the overwhelming majority of Muslim-Americans are outstanding people, the reality is that radicalization within the Muslim-American community by al-Qaeda and its affiliates is a real threat to the security of our homeland. Fortunately, the Obama Administration recognizes this. The President's deputy national security advisor has warned that 'al-Qaeda and its adherents have increasingly turned to\u2026attempting to recruit and radicalize people to terrorism here in the United States\u2026for the express purpose of trying to convince Muslim Americans to reject their country and attack their fellow Americans.' Attorney General Eric Holder said this is what keeps him awake at night. Clearly it is an issue that absolutely must be addressed, as I have begun to do with these hearings. I am honored to have been invited by Chairman Vaz to testify before the House of Commons Home Affairs Committee as our vital ally, the United Kingdom, struggles with this same threat within its own borders. I look forward to sharing a number of our preliminary findings with Chairman Vaz and the Committee.\"\nhttp://www.pipelinenews.org/index.cfm?page=king9122011102%2Ehtm",

        "raw_content": "Insurance Shopping for Health Care... It's not easy!\ndisclosure: This post is sponsored by United Healthcare but all opinions are my own.\nInsurance shopping can be EXTREMELY stressful, but this go around, I am learning that it doesn't have to be.\nUnitedHealthCare is making it as easy as 1-2-3. Here is some help with open enrollment.\nI\u2019m sure you\u2019ve heard of the Affordable Care Act or ACA, but I\u2019m not sure how much you know about it. In the simplest terms, the ACA helps more people get quality and affordable health insurance. It gives people the consistency and flexibility to make informed choices about their health care in ways they\u2019ve never had before.\nDid you know that almost 87% of health insurance applicants were eligible to receive a discount last year? Many are not aware of the money they can save by knowing just a little more about health insurance. I will be providing tools and assistance to make finding the right health insurance as simple and easy as possible. I want to help you learn more about this campaign and how it might help you.\nThe more you know about the Affordable Care Act, the better prepared you'll be to make smart decisions about your coverage. First,learn about what has changed in health care. The ACA has raised the Medicaid limits in some states so more are eligible and is offering subsidies to eligible income levels above medicaid but still in the realm of struggling. See what open enrollment is all about and why it matters to you. Essentially, you need to use the time of open enrollment to get the proper health plan bought and set for your family. Find a plan between Nov 15 and Feb 15 to have coverage from the marketplace in 2015.\nThere are certain qualifying events that allow you to use a special enrollment period. The exchanges or the marketplace is a website that allows you to compare plans from a variety of providers much like Travelocity. This website will be either the government Healthcare.gov website or your state\u2019s individual marketplace website.\nSo, you are discovering all of this new information about health care and what\u2019s involved in the shopping process, but it\u2019s only fair that you should know how to get the most out of your health care plan. Costs within health care can be daunting. Check your deductible and out-of-pockets on a regular basis to stay ahead. When deciding on a plan, look for value ads provided by the company such as nurse lines, apps, and health club discounts too! Also, make sure to ask you Doctor how much medical tests will cost and if there are less costly alternatives.\nBest of luck in this process. I hope this helps to make things a little easier. For me, Health insurance shopping has been really important. I left my job in May and had to shop for insurance. I didn't do my homework and relied on someone else to find my plan. I got a very inexpensive plan, but NONE of my doctors accepted my insurance, and the only people who did were 45 min. away. That was a problem. Especially when I broke my foot. It opened my eyes to being informed. At the end of the day, the only person who is going to check and double check things is me!\nBefore I even started shopping, I contacted my Gyn. That is my most important doctor because I have had health issues over the last year and ovarian cancer runs in my family. I called them and asked which plans they were going to accept. I made sure that I had an informed list from them. Then I called my primary care to ensure that they would accept the choices. Now, I am informed and ready to find the best plan for my money. I am taking into account deductibles, prescription plans, and co-pay cost. It's a little scary, but I know that I am prepared for shopping this time. I hope you are too.\nWhat is the biggest worry that you have about insurance?\nLabels: doctors, health insurance, insurance, insurance shopping, stress\nPay your bills. Every one of them. Before you spend any cash at Starbucks for a Vente Green Tea or at the Taco remain with the executioner Super Verde Burritos, pay the lease and the utilities and every one of those different bills sitting on your table. Also, pay your bills on time. quick check cashing san diego",

        "raw_content": "Scalding Hot!\nEvery year hundreds of Canadians needlessly suffer from scalds and burns. Sadly, many are permanently scarred and the medical treatments they must endure are relentless. The most vulnerable are the very young, the elderly and handicapped people.\nFor a young child the most common type of burn is a scald. The treatment for a serious burn can be excruciating. The injury may become a life long experience of scarring. The most common causes of scalds to a child are; hot tap water, tea, coffee, soup and other hot liquids. A liquid at a temperature of 60 C (140 F) can cause a burn in less than 5 seconds. The kitchen and the bathroom are the most common rooms for these injuries to occur.\nExtra caution should be used with children in the home. There are many precautions that can be used in the kitchen to prevent an accident. For instance; when cooking use the back burners first, turn pot handles in so they can?t accidentally be knocked off or pulled off the stove. Keep children away from the cooking areas of the kitchen, keep hot liquids and pots in the centre of the table, and never use tablecloths.\nCurrently, there are no digital gauges on a hot water tank to indicate the temperature. The thermostat can be set only at; low, medium, or high. You can protect your own family by testing the water temperature yourself. One way to test; run the hot water tap for 5-10 minutes; then check the temperature using a meat or candy thermometer. If the temperature is higher than 49 C (120 F), lower the thermostat.

        "raw_content": "So now you\u2019re a college grad. Congratulations! I liked the little dance you did right after receiving your diploma. The cameras caught it for the big screen, and we all laughed and didn\u2019t even have to say it: \u201cThat\u2019s Michael alright.\u201d You\u2019ve never really just walked your way through life. It\u2019s often been a dance.\nIt dawns on me that these weeks after graduation may not be filled with dancing. How \u201csuddenly\u201d it all ends. You\u2019ve been a student since preschool, and I know you enjoyed it (most of the time). Now that chapter of your life is over. Some great friendships end here, others will continue and a few will last your lifetime. You mentioned that the job you start in a few weeks isn\u2019t exactly what you wanted, but it was the best you could find. Reality sets in. The afterglow begins to lose its glow.\nWe frame the story lines of our lives with headline events: relocations, marriage, births and career moves. Like these weeks right after graduation, though, for the most part we live in transition, in the middle of in between the headlines of our lives. We are like Israel between Egypt and the Promised Land. We are like Jesus, living and loving, healing and teaching on His way to Jerusalem. The apostle Paul was like that too, writing inspired letters on his travels across the Mediterranean world.\nWhat I\u2019m trying to say is that, at least in my life, the real story has often been not in the headline events but in the parade of back stories between them. Life appears to come in waves as suddenly this or suddenly that, but in between are the calms of ordinary, very daily life. Disney World was great, but the fun we had getting there was unforgettable.\nI recall that when you were in high school you played George Gibbs in Thornton Wilder\u2019s Our Town. Remember that interchange between the state manager and Emily in Act III? Emily relives a day from her childhood. Overwhelmed by the rich depth and beauty of the day, she asks, \u201cDo any human beings ever realize life while they live it \u2014 every, every minute?\u201d The state manager responds, \u201cThe saints and poets, maybe they do some.\u201d\nMichael, I know you probably don\u2019t see yourself as a saint or a poet. I remember, though, whispering in your ear on your confirmation day, \u201cBe strong. Take courage. The Lord is at your side.\u201d That\u2019s not just a mandate for the crises of your life. It\u2019s a call to live your faith every day. The first Christians were known as followers of \u201cthe Way.\u201d Our faith is a way of life, not an institution; a daily rebirthing, not an aging tradition. It is the way we are.\nI know that your generation is not enamored with the church. Many of your peers see us as judgmental, irrelevant and hypocritical. There is a temptation to walk away from the church and create one\u2019s own spirituality. I want you to know that there is room in the church for you, that the church I know and love welcomes everyone, even those who might question us or stretch us. I want you to know that the call to pick up a cross and follow Christ is a daily call. As Snoopy likes to say, \u201cThe problem with life is that life is so doggoned daily.\u201d Even Snoopy, though, has been known to dance over little things. May you do the same. May your dance in Christ continue strong and joyous on a very daily basis.\nNew Mission-field Opens in ...",

Following discussions with TV broadcasters, Digital UK and the transmission company Arqiva, Ofcom has secured the earlier release of frequencies that were previously used for digital-terrestrial broadcasting.\nThis spectrum will now be cleared and ready for 4G mobile services across much of the UK five months earlier than previously planned, from spring 2013. This has only become possible in the past few months as a result of the significant progress that has been made to date with the digital switchover and the clearance programme itself, which has been running ahead of schedule.\nThis means that more UK consumers will be able to benefit from a competitive market for super-fast mobile broadband sooner than previously possible.\nFor example, following intensive technical planning work, the clearance date for TV transmitters in Oxford and Waltham \u2013 which would otherwise prevent deployment of 4G mobile services to around 9 million people in cities including London, Birmingham, Coventry, Leicester, Nottingham and Sheffield \u2013 will be brought forward by five months to May 2013.\nSimilarly, the clearance date for transmitters which impact around 1 million people in and around Glasgow and Edinburgh will be brought forward by more than three months to April 2013.\nThis follows similar steps led by Ofcom during the past year to accelerate the spectrum clearance programme.\u2019\nPrevious articleO2 sells out of iPhone 5 on prepay\nNext articleEE welcome Ofcom decision to speed up 4G rollout",

I love it with all my being.\nAs I work him up this morning, I took the rare opportunity to crawl in his bed and cuddle. Kiss on his cheeks without him pulling away and just breath in the scent of my little boy turning into a man. In case you\u2019re wondering what the scent is, it\u2019s a combo of Old Spice and Irish Spring bodywash.\nAll of this made me realize I have so much more to share. I have a whole lifetime of my own Mommyality. Mine isn\u2019t about diapers, breastfeeding or potty training, but something that goes beyond that. I\u2019m more worried about how I\u2019m going to help him when his heart is broken for the first time, or how I\u2019ll deal with the inevitable peer pressure he will face.\nSo, I do have a lot to offer here.

        "title": "Moneygrows: Pound seeking protection from the Bank of England",
        "raw_content": "The British pound was marked by the worst weekly dynamics against the US dollar over the past few months amid growing fears about the inability to make a deal between Foggy Albion and the EU. President of the European Council Donald Tusk said that there are no guarantees that the hard borders with Ireland could have been avoided, and Bloomberg, citing competent sources, said that negotiations on Brexit were suspended due to the lack of options to reach a compromise on the part of Prime Minister Theresa May and her team. While the political factor will put pressure on the sterling, it is difficult to expect that it will return above $ 1.3.\nBritish pound weekly dynamics\nAt any other time, the presentation of the budget draft by the Chancellor Philip Hammond before March 2019 and the meeting of the Bank of England should have forced investors to follow the pound with heightened vigilance. Moreover, there are rumors around the market that London will move away from the principles of fiscal consolidation and expand the expenditure side of the budget in order to stimulate economic growth.\nIt makes sense for Mark Carney and the company to expect \"hawkish\" rhetoric, because the devaluation of sterling increases the risk of inflation returning to 3%, which will force the Bank of England to continue the monetary policy normalization cycle. For the time being, the derivatives market believes that this will happen only in 2020, and if expectations after the meeting of the Monetary Policy Committee are shifted to an earlier period, this can provide support to the bulls on GBP / USD. However, who can now say with confidence that it will be in the medium term? While the policy of the sword of Damocles hangs over the pound, it does not make sense to count on its serious strengthening.\nOn the other hand, the closure of speculative long positions on the US dollar may be enough for the fans of the analyzed pair to cheer up. After one of the best six months for US GDP in the past ten years, there are rumors in the market that the States have reached a ceiling. Therefore, both stock indices and the USD index risk entering a deep correction. According to the S & P 500, it started in early October, and during this period, the stock market lost about 8%, noting the worst monthly dynamics since 2009. But it was the strong positions that distinguished the United States from other countries, contributing to the flow of capital and the strengthening of the US dollar.\nAt the same time, the rollback on the S & P 500 worsens financial conditions and increases the risks of slowing down the Fed's monetary policy normalization cycle. CME derivatives have already reduced the likelihood of December monetary restriction from 80% to 69%, now investors are focused on comments from FOMC representatives.\nTechnically, the \"bears\" at GBP / USD at arm's length approached the target by 88.6% using the \"Bat\" pattern. In the case of a return of quotes above 1.285-1.286 (50% of an upward long-term wave), bulls can take over the initiative. To continue the peak, \"bears\" need to update the August minimum.\nGBP / USD, the daily graph",

        "raw_content": "The Incentives of Bureaucrats\nThursday May 15th, 2014 \u2022 Posted by Craig Eyermann at 2:19am PST \u2022\nIf you count up the number of civilians who work for the U.S. federal government, you\u2019ll find that nearly one out of eight work for the Department of Veterans Affairs, primarily in the federal government-run, single payer-style health care and hospital system that has been established to specifically deal with the medical needs of military veterans.\nThe VA has been wracked in recent weeks by reports of negligence on the part of the department\u2019s managers and admininistrators, who allegedly have implemented a unique health care rationing scheme aimed at making the system appear to be meeting the needs of ailing veterans, but is instead denying critical care to them.\nThe rationing scheme involves the use of multiple waiting lists for veterans seeking medical care at a number of VA health care facilities across the United States. Here, a number of facilities have been discovered to be maintaining an \u201cofficial\u201d waiting list, which is meant to communicate the VA is successfully limiting waiting times to 14 days or less before providing care. But in reality, the \u201cofficial\u201d waiting list is a fraud, as these facilities would appear to also be maintaining secret waiting lists \u2013 ones where the veterans seeking care are effectively placed in a virtual waiting room where months pass before they can even get on a schedule to receive care.\nThat kind of deception carries a real human cost, as the story first broke in Phoenix, where as many as 40 veterans have died before receiving care after seeking it from the VA as they were placed on the facility\u2019s secret wait list instead. Since that story first broke, it would appear that this secret rationing system has been adopted at a number of Veterans Administration facilities across the nation \u2013 something that could only happen with the knowledge and assent of the Department\u2019s administrators.\nIn other words, the situation being discovered by the public today is not an isolated incident resulting from the actions of a few rogue administrators at a local facility. Instead, it is the result of deliberate actions taken on the part of the department\u2019s top administrators, which we can see by the system of incentives they created to reward those who adopted the secret wait list scheme and punish those who did not.\nGermaine Clarno is a VA social worker and employee representative in Chicago. She alleges there are multiple secret waiting lists of veterans kept at the Hines VA Medical Center.\nAsked which divisions of the hospital kept the secret waiting lists, Clarno says, \u201cEmployees are coming to me from all over the hospital, from outpatient, inpatient, surgery, radiology.\u201d\nClarno says veterans were put on secret waiting lists when they called for appointments, but they wouldn\u2019t formally get an appointment booked in the computer until one came up within the VA\u2019s goal of 14 days. The purpose of the lists, she says, was to hide how often veterans were not being seen on time.\nClarno says the purpose of the lists was \u201cto make numbers look better for their own recognition and for bonuses.\u201d\nThe VA grants bonuses to executives and doctors, partly based on short wait times. Whistleblowers\u2014including Dr. Sam Foote, who revealed the scandal in Phoenix, where up to 40 veterans may have died\u2014believe bonuses give an incentive to conceal delays in care.\nThe savings from denying timely medical care to veterans could very well have provided the funds needed to pay out the reported bonuses to the VA\u2019s bureaucrats.\nMeanwhile, there were consequences for those bureaucrats who didn\u2019t go along with and adopt the VA\u2019s secret health care rationing scheme:\nClerks at the Department of Veterans Affairs clinic in Fort Collins were instructed last year how to falsify appointment records so it appeared the small staff of doctors was seeing patients within the agency\u2019s goal of 14 days, according to the investigation.\nA copy of the findings by the VA\u2019s Office of Medical Inspector was provided to USA TODAY.\nMany of the 6,300 veterans treated at the outpatient clinic waited months to be seen. If the clerical staff allowed records to reflect that veterans waited longer than 14 days, they were punished by being placed on a \u201cbad boy list,\u201d the report shows.\nBureaucrats don\u2019t like being on their bosses\u2019 \u201cbad boy lists\u201d, because it denies them opportunities for advancement and reward. Combined with the bonuses that would be paid out for those who reported that they satisfied their bosses\u2019 performance goals, we can only conclude that the government\u2019s bureaucrats were doubly incented to impose the VA\u2019s secret health care rationing scheme on the unsuspecting Americans veterans who trust and depend upon them.\nOnce again, we find that when given a choice between meeting the real needs of regular Americans or doing things that only benefit themselves, the government\u2019s bureaucrats choose their own interests over those of the American people.\nAnd this is how they\u2019re treating the people who volunteered to put their lives on the line at a moment\u2019s notice by serving in the nation\u2019s military. Just imagine how the same kind of twisted incentives will lead the administrators of the Department of Health and Human Services to act when they decide its time to start rationing the kind of health care that people get through Medicaid, Medicare and the Affordable Care Act. Especially if their bonuses and promotions on the line.\nImage Credit: American Legion \u2013 Epidemic of VA Mismanagement",

        "raw_content": "Reforms Failing at the VA\nFriday September 9th, 2016 \u2022 Posted by Craig Eyermann at 6:12am PST \u2022\nIn 2014, the Phoenix branch of the Department of Veterans Affairs became ground zero for the national health care rationing wait list scandal that rocked the federal agency. In response, both President Obama and the department\u2019s bureaucrats pledged to implement reforms that would fix the problems that led to thousands of the nation\u2019s veterans being denied timely medical treatment, where hundreds died waiting for appointments without ever receiving any care.\nThis summer, Steve Cooper, a 45 year old veteran seeking care for Stage 4 prostate cancer, secretly recorded his encounter with VA medical staff at a recently opened regional branch of the VA in the greater Phoenix metropolitan area. Local NBC affiliate PNNX 12 News provides a transcript for some of the more remarkable statements that came out in the recording.\nThe most notable moments throughout the 30 minutes of recorded conversations include the following:\n\u2013 A nurse calls the patient phone scheduling system \u201ca nightmare,\u201d admitting that even as an employee she can\u2019t get a person on the phone line.\n\u2013 The doctor who saw Cooper admitted he\u2019s \u201cnot a fan of the VA\u201d and complained his patient load doesn\u2019t allow him enough time with patients.\n\u2013 The doctor said that, as a new employee, he is still trying to understand how the \u201cChoice\u201d program works.\n\u2013 The doctor expressed a desire to check Cooper\u2019s heart and lungs but said he misplaced his stethoscope. The doctor ended up not using a stethoscope at all, but nonetheless stated that \u201ckey exam findings\u201d on Cooper were negative.\n\u201cI especially have a problem with it because earlier the nurse said my blood pressure was high,\u201d Cooper said in an interview with 12 News. \u201cAnd the excuse that a doctor says he can\u2019t find his stethoscope just doesn\u2019t work when you\u2019re a doctor making six figures working for the Phoenix VA.\u201d\nCooper says he believes the audio reflects ongoing issues at the Phoenix VA Healthcare System first identified two years ago.\n\u201cPost two-years since the crisis broke, the audio is valuable. It\u2019s valuable to hear from the employees themselves that the system doesn\u2019t work because of the infrastructure,\u201d Cooper said during an interview with 12 News.\nKPNX 12 News \u2018 report came out on August 23, 2016. In the report, Phoenix VA medical director Diana Amdur indicated that the agency would address the allegations and take appropriate actions.\nNine days later, while visiting the Phoenix branch of the VA, the Department of Veterans Affairs\u2019 second highest ranking official, Sloan Gibson, agreed with the statements in the recording and described the VA\u2019s patient scheduling system as a \u201cnightmare\u201d. KPNX 12 News reports:\n\u201cI don\u2019t want anyone to think that we\u2019re hanging up a \u2018Mission Accomplished\u2019 banner,\u201d Gibson said. \u201cWe\u2019re not. We\u2019ve got a lot of work left to do but the simple fact of the matter is a vast amount has changed.\u201d...\nRegarding a 12 News report last week about secret audio recordings at a VA clinic, Gibson said he agreed with a nurse who said the patient scheduling system was \u201ca nightmare.\u201d\nGibson vowed that a \u201ccontact center\u201d will be established at every VA medical center nationwide by the end of the year to handle issues such as scheduling.\n\u201cI\u2019ve directed today the executive in charge of that program to come here on the ground, for him to do an assessment,\u201d Gibson said. \u201cTo figure out what resources do we need to bring to bare so when a veteran calls somebody answers the phone and provides the help they need.\u201d\nGibson has been one of the VA\u2019s few bright spots in the bureaucracy\u2019s response to its systemic problems. He will also soon be in a position to more directly influence the lack of effective implementation of reforms uncovered at the Phoenix branch of the VA through a change in its leadership, since VA medical director Diana Amdur announced several days earlier that she will be stepping down from her position for health reasons after being on the job for just nine months.\nGibson attributed the high stress of the job as being a contributing factor to Amdur\u2019s health condition.\nMeanwhile, President Obama is rejecting a recommendation of the independent Commission on Care to reform the governance structure of the VA\u2019s hospital network. The Washington Free Beacon reports:\nPresident Obama is disputing a recommendation to change the governance structure of the Department of Veterans Affairs network of hospitals, saying it would undermine the authority of bureaucrats overseeing the agency-run facilities.\nThe proposal was one of several included in the final report of the Commission on Care, an independent panel established by Congress to examine the VA\u2019s hospital network after veterans were found to have died waiting for care as agency employees kept secret lists to conceal long appointment waits in 2014....\nIn its final report, which outlined a plan for \u201cfar-reaching organizational transformation\u201d at the VA, the commission cited \u201cweak governance\u201d as one of the root causes of the Phoenix VA wait list scandal uncovered more than two years ago. As a solution, the panel recommended that Congress provide for the formation of an 11-member board of directors, accountable to the president, that would be \u201cresponsible for overall VHA Care System governance\u201d and would have \u201cdecision-making authority to direct the transformation process and set long-term strategy.\u201d The board would also not be subject to the Federal Advisory Committee Act, under the commission\u2019s recommendations.\n\u201cThe governance limitations made evident in the Phoenix scandal have profound implications for the long term,\u201d the commission\u2019s report stated. \u201cThe Commission believes [the Veterans Health Administration] must institute a far-reaching transformation of both its care delivery system and the management processes supporting it.\u201d\nIt\u2019s hard to see how any of that can happen without substantial reform of the VA\u2019s bureaucracy and management structure.",

Everything seemed to be going well until the Chinese arrived in 2013.\nThat year, China Merchants bought 23.5% of PDSA from Djibouti, and the problems began almost instantly, especially as the Terminal proved to be a tremendous success, generating annual profits worth tens of millions of U.S. dollars.\nUnder unclear advice, Djibouti sought to expropriate the entire Terminal for itself, including, in February 2018, by unlawfully seizing control of the Terminal and purporting to unilaterally terminate the agreements leading to several legal challenges and in July 2018, a tribunal at the London Court of International Arbitration ruled that Djibouti\u2019s purported termination was unlawful and invalid.\nIn violation of DP World\u2019s exclusivity rights, Djibouti has in recent years partnered with China Merchants to construct, develop, and/or operate six new ports and free zones within Djibouti.\nChina Merchants, despite its multiple partnerships with Djibouti and its ownership of PDSA, has taken no steps to prevent Djibouti\u2019s unlawful seizure of the Terminal and unlawful purported termination of the agreements.\nWith the illegality dragging, in August 2018, various subsidiaries of DP World sued China Merchants Port Holdings Company Limited in the High Court of Hong Kong for unlawfully procuring and inducing the Republic of Djibouti to breach various agreements between Djibouti and DP World.\nIn the lawsuit, DP World is seeking damages, interest, and a declaration that China Merchants unlawfully procured and/or induced Djibouti\u2019s breaches of its agreements with DP World.\nA ruling is still being awaited. But the case is another example of how China\u2019s growing influence in Africa is perverting business on the continent.\nDistributed by APO Group on behalf of Today News Africa.\nPrevious articleUSAID extends loan to assist small-scale farmers\nNext articleHundreds to lose jobs as Telkom plans restructuring",

The conference, held every two years, is held to drive economic growth and help local businesses enter the Asia Pacific market.\nBrisbane Lord Mayor Campbell Newman said having the high profile pair at the conference was \u201cunashamedly\u201d about attracting delegates to the city.\n\u201cThese two speakers, we believe, will give an extra level of prominence and interest to attract people from around the globe,\u201d he told reporters on Friday.\n\u201cWe will be pulling out all stops to showcase Brisbane.\n\u201cPeople internationally have seen the scenes of devastation, but they\u2019ve also seen a city that rallied, they\u2019ve seen the volunteer effort, they\u2019ve seen the fast clean-up and now we want to show people what the city\u2019s really all about.\u201d\nMr Newman said more than 1500 delegates from more than 100 cities could attend the event. They would find Brisbane was a great city that had bounced back and was open for business, he said.\nHe said the event would provide a great shot in the arm for the southeast.\nThe previous summit in 2009 had led to more than $4 million in business being done, he said.\nMr Newman said there was a \u201ccertain symmetry\u201d between Mr Giuliani\u2019s experience rebuilding New York and Brisbane\u2019s circumstance now.\n\u201cWe are inspired, I think all of us, by what he did in New York, particularly how he had to handle that terrible day \u2013 September 11, 2001 \u2013 and the aftermath,\u201d he said.\n\u201cAnd I think there is a certain symmetry in what he had to do and, dare I say it, what\u2019s happened in the city of Brisbane with our recovery as well.\n\u201cSo I think that works quite well for us.\u201d\nHe also cited Sir Richard\u2019s connections with Brisbane, being the headquarters of his Virgin Blue company.\nThe state government will chip in more than $300,000 to sponsor the summit, with the council spending up to $450,000 on the $1.8 million event.\nEnough is enough: Gallop\n02/03/2019 admin Comments Off on Enough is enough: Gallop\nGallop faced more questions about Manly\u2019s call for an apology when he fronted a media conference before the NRL\u2019s club members\u2019 forum in western Sydney on Wednesday.\nBut he was in no mood to continue the argument, urging the Sea Eagles to move on from their beef over the penalties handed down to star Brett Stewart and the club at the start of the 2009 season.\n\u201cFrankly, enough is enough on this issue, and we\u2019re not going to revisit something that happened two years ago,\u201d Gallop said.\n\u201cManly had every opportunity to appeal those decisions at the time and they didn\u2019t, they need to read their own report furnished to us at the time.\n\u201cThey also need to stop saying the jury cleared Brett Stewart of anything other than a sexual assault charge.\n\u201cI think he needs to be allowed to focus on his football and everyone concerned should move on.\u201d\nThe Sea Eagles, led by coach Des Hasler, launched a scathing attack on Gallop and the game\u2019s organising body on Tuesday, claiming Stewart\u2019s treatment, when he was suspended for four matches for allegedly breaching its code with drunken conduct following their boozy 2009 season launch, \u201cwas grossly unfair\u201d.\nThe cash-strapped club was also fined $100,000 at the time. Stewart was subsequently cleared in court of a sex assault charge stemming from the hours after the launch.\nManly contrasted the NRL\u2019s handling of Stewart with its treatment of West Tigers star Benji Marshall this week after the Wests Tigers star was involved in an incident that saw him charged with assault.\nThe governing body said it would await the outcome of Marshall\u2019s assault charge in court before deciding any action.\nAnd Gallop did not accept it was a valid comparison as there was no suggestion Marshall had breached the code of conduct apart from the police matter.\nGallop admitted on Wednesday that the Marshall saga, coming just two days after he launched the new season, was \u201cnot ideal\u201d, but said he was comfortable with the way it had been handled.\n\u201cThe facts around Benji\u2019s charge will come out in court and I hope that it will happen sooner rather than later for his sake, the game\u2019s sake and the Wests Tigers\u2019 sake,\u201d Gallop said.\n\u201cWe would prefer not to be dealing with the issues we have had to deal with this week, we had a great season launch and everyone is excited about the footy on Friday.\n\u201cSometimes the game has to deal with difficult issues and we have done that.\u201d\nGaddafi son says \u2018victory in sight\u2019\n02/03/2019 admin Comments Off on Gaddafi son says \u2018victory in sight\u2019\nMuammar Gaddafi\u2019s son says victory is in sight against rebels fighting his father\u2019s iron-fisted regime after loyalist forces retook two key towns and Western powers fretted over how to deal with the civil war while tightening the screws further.\nHe spoke after NATO and the European Union began 48 hours of crisis talks, amid growing calls for the imposition of a no-fly zone over Libya, reports France would even support selective air strikes and more ships being deployed to the area.\n\u201cWe\u2019re coming,\u201d Seif al-Islam told young regime supporters in Tripoli, referring to the advance of government forces towards the eastern rebel bastion of Benghazi.\n\u201cI send a message to our brothers and friends in the east who are sending us daily calls for help and asking us to rescue them: we\u2019re coming,\u201d he said.\n\u201cVictory is in sight. Victory is near,\u201d he told the exuberant youths.\n\u201cI swear before God that we\u2019re going to win.\u201d\nEarlier, in an interview broadcast on Britain\u2019s Sky News and BBC TV, Seif said the regime would \u201cnever surrender\u201d to the rebels and did not fear foreign intervention.\n\u201cThis is our country, we will never, ever give up and we will never, ever surrender,\u201d he insisted.\n\u201cWe are not afraid of the American fleet, NATO, France, Europe. This is our country. We live here, we die here. We will never, ever surrender to those terrorists.\u201d\nThe momentum in the conflict is shifting in favour of Gaddafi\u2019s forces that are \u201crobustly equipped\u201d with Russian weapons and likely to defeat the rebels, US officials said.\n\u201cInitially the momentum was with the other side,\u201d Lieutenant General Ronald Burgess, director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, told US senators.\n\u201cThat has started to shift. Whether or not it has fully moved to Gaddafi\u2019s side at this time is not clear. We have now reached a state of equilibrium. The initiative may be actually be on the regime side.\u201d\nWith its fighters in retreat, the opposition appealed to Western powers meeting in Brussels to follow France\u2019s lead in recognising their national council.\nIn Washington, White House spokesman Jay Carney said the United States is in \u201cdirect contact\u201d with senior opposition people, including members of the rebel national council.\n\u201cWe are coordinating with the opposition, with the council to provide assistance and to determine the best ways we can support their aspirations,\u201d he added, while saying Washington is still trying to get a sense of \u201cwhat their vision is, who they represent, what their ideas are and where they would take Libya.\u201d\nTargeted by rocket fire, rebels fled from Ras Lanuf, a strategic coastal oil town in eastern Libya they captured last Friday, Agence France-Presse reporters said.\nA hospital official in Brega, about 85 kilometres further east along the Mediterranean coast, said: \u201cWe have four dead and 35 wounded, but there\u2019s still many more coming\u201d in from Ras Lanuf.\nMedics say 400 people have died and 2000 more have been wounded in eastern Libya since February 17.\nOn the battlefield, rebel vehicles streamed eastward from Ras Lanuf after hours of heavy shelling and rocket attacks.\nOther rebels appeared to stay in town, but dejected fighters said they had been defeated as rockets exploded and there was at least one air strike.\n\u201cWe\u2019ve been defeated. They are shelling and we are running away. That means that they\u2019re taking Ras Lanuf,\u201d said one rebel fighter.\nIn the west, an intense battle for control of Zawiyah, the site of major oil installations 50 kilometres west of Tripoli, ended in victory for Gaddafi\u2019s forces on Wednesday night.\n\u201cThe town is now under the army\u2019s control,\u201d said a resident by telephone on Thursday.\nRebels overran Zawiyah soon after a popular uprising erupted against Gaddafi on February 15, and the city had been under assault for several days by artillery and tanks.\nDespite the loss of Zawiyah, a rebel in the mountainous Jabal al-Gharbi region some 90 kilometres to the south said \u201crevolutionaries control several towns\u201d in that area, including Zintan, which was the site of earlier fighting.\nIn Brussels, NATO and the European Union were meeting on Thursday and Friday to ponder military and economic options against Gaddafi, which could include a no-fly zone, humanitarian aid and economic props.\nA source close to Nicolas Sarkozy, who asked not to be named, said the French president will propose \u201cstriking an extremely limited number of points which are the source of the most deadly operations\u201d by Gaddafi loyalists.\nThe sites being considered are Gaddafi\u2019s Bab al-Azizia command headquarters in Tripoli, a military air base in Sirte, east of Tripoli and another in Sebha in the south, the source added.\nThe president\u2019s office declined to confirm the claim.\nFrance, which on Thursday recognised the rebel national council, has seized the initiative in pressure against Gaddafi and has been working with Britain to lobby for a United Nations Security Council imprimatur for a no-fly zone.\nThe United States wants any military action conducted under the banner of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, with Arab regional backing seen as essential.\nIn Washington, the director of US national intelligence, James Clapper, said \u201cthe Libyan air defence structure on the ground, radar and surface-to-air missiles, is quite substantial\u201d.\nNATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen said that \u201cif there is a demonstrable need, if we have a clear mandate and strong regional support, we stand ready to help\u201d.\nHe told a news conference \u201cit has been decided to increase the presence of NATO maritime assets in the central Mediterranean\u201d to bolster surveillance of Libya and monitor an arms embargo.\nHowever, there was no decision to launch a no-fly zone \u2014 opposed by Germany \u2014 with the alliance endorsing further military planning if the United Nations endorsed the move.\nBut with Russia opposing an air exclusion area, UN backing appeared unlikely for any move to shut down Gaddafi\u2019s air force.\nThe ministers also called for urgent \u201cdetailed planning\u201d for humanitarian efforts and for possible measures to enforce the arms embargo if called on by the UN Security Council, Rasmussen said.\nThe rebel national council, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and the Organisation of the Islamic Conference, a grouping of Muslim countries, have already called for a no-fly zone.\nNATO has stepped up surveillance of Libya\u2019s air space with radar-equipped aircraft, Rasmussen said.\nArab states in the Gulf said on Thursday that Gaddafi\u2019s regime was illegitimate and that contacts should be initiated with the rebels.\nIn other developments, Greece announced that a plane was on the way to Tripoli to collect three Dutch soldiers freed after being captured last month in a botched attempt to evacuate two civilians by navy helicopter.\nElsewhere in the volatile Middle East, Yemen\u2019s President Ali Abdullah Saleh bowed to pressure after a month of violent protests, but his pledge to devolve power to parliament was swiftly rejected as too late by the opposition.\nWorld oil prices dived on Thursday, despite jitters over Libyan unrest on the eve of planned protests in OPEC kingpin Saudi Arabia.\nNew York\u2019s main contract, light sweet crude for delivery in April, tumbled $2.94 to $101.44 a barrel.\nBrent North Sea crude for April slid $1.80 to $114.14 per barrel.\nYou thought the Brotherhood was bad?\n02/03/2019 admin Comments Off on You thought the Brotherhood was bad?\nIn one of the many bizarre twists of Egypt\u2019s recent political convulsion, hardline Salafi parties look poised to replace the Muslim Brotherhood as the most important Islamist players in the political process.\nIt\u2019s a situation ripe with irony: For years, the Brotherhood represented the \u201cgood guys\u201d of the Islamist world \u2014 a movement that other parties could deal with \u2014 while the Salafis were irreconcilable zealots bent on establishing an Islamist state by any means necessary. But with former \u201cbad guys\u201d redeeming themselves by siding with the opposition in the weeks preceding President Mohammed Morsi\u2019s ouster, they now have a shot at becoming the standard-bearers for Islamist politics in the Arab world\u2019s largest nation.\nThe Nour Party, the largest Islamist organization, joined in the opposition\u2019s call for Morsi to step down, claiming that he and the Muslim Brotherhood were attempting to monopolize power. But it did not participate officially in the street protests against the Brotherhood, and has been sitting on the fence ever since, criticizing the military\u2019s transition roadmap and its constitutional proclamation, and declaring that their members would neither join the transitional government nor oppose it.\nSalafist participation, however, will come at a price \u2014 and there\u2019s no guarantee that Egypt\u2019s new rulers will want to pay it. The military officers that deposed Morsi \u2014 along with the parties and personalities now trying to ride their coattails into power \u2014 are facing a difficult choice: Should they include Islamists in the new system? Or should they seek to push them resolutely to the margins, as Hosni Mubarak and a succession of previous governments did?\nIt\u2019s not clear that this decision has been made yet. Officially, the military and its civilian appointees now argue that Islamists must be included in the political process. In practice, however, the actions of the military and its allies tell a different story: Muslim Brotherhood leaders are being rounded up in growing numbers, Islamist television channels have been shuttered, and dozens of Morsi supporters have been shot dead on the street by the police and army.\nAt the same time, the new leadership has made a huge concession to Salafis by including in its July 8 constitutional proclamation some of the most controversial clauses of the suspended 2012 constitution. Article 1 of the proclamation proclaims Islam to be the religion of the state and the principles of sharia the main source of legislation. It was the Salafis, particularly members of the Nour Party, who insisted on including these stipulations in the constitution.\nThere is no guarantee, however, that the Salafi parties can coexist in the long term with their new secular allies. Tamarod, the \u201crebel\u201d movement that spearheaded the June 30 demonstrations, was incensed by references to sharia in the constitutional proclamation and is opposed to Islamist participation in the new government. Many of the so-called liberals in the National Salvation Front and in the business community also call, at least privately, for the dissolution of the Muslim Brotherhood and its political wing, the Freedom and Justice Party \u2014 and do not hide their desire to see a ban on all parties with a religious orientation in the new constitution. Indeed, a major secular-Islamist battle is brewing over the writing of the new constitution.\nNo matter what the new constitution says about the legality of parties based on religion, the Muslim Brotherhood appears to have been drummed out of the political process for the time being. It is unlikely to participate in the parliamentary election that should take place in early 2014, as it still insists that Morsi is the duly elected president of the country and that he must be reinstated. That will leave its voters with nowhere else to turn but the Salafist parties, which will be the last players on the Egyptian political scene explicitly calling for a strong Islamic reference in government.\nSalafis did not come to political participation easily. Until the overthrow of Mubarak, they had shunned political activity, concentrating instead on proselytizing and building their own community. The decision to enter the political sphere was a sudden response to the events of January 2011 \u2014 Salafis saw an opening, and were able to take advantage of it by mobilizing their social and religious networks for political ends. Their success was startling: They went from having no political organization in January 2011 to capturing a startling 25 percent of seats in parliament by March 2012, besting secular parties that had been in existence for years.\nBecause the Salafis\u2019 rise was so sudden, it was not accompanied by a corresponding ideological transformation. Salafi parties had few discussions about the implications of participating in a pluralistic political system \u2014 they simply decided that the goal of building an Islamic state, previously set aside as premature, was worth pursuing right away. The Muslim Brotherhood, by contrast, had been discussing the implications of political participation for decades and had modified its positions in response, accepting the notion of pluralism and a civil state. The transition was still incomplete and contested, but it was a start.\nDifferences between the Brotherhood and Salafi organizations were particularly evident in the discussions of the 2012 constitution. Salafis were uncompromising, insisting that the constitution should embody references to sharia in its Sunni interpretations, rejecting explicit references to gender equality and to hiding their end-goal of turning Egypt into an Islamic state. The Muslim Brotherhood accepted the idea of a civil state and generally showed greater flexibility.\nThe inclusion of Salafis as representatives of the Islamist trend would thus come at a high price for the country\u2019s new rulers. The constitution would have to include many of the same clauses concerning sharia and Islam as the state religion as the 2012 constitution \u2014 as was already made clear in the latest constitutional proclamation. Any constitution acceptable to Salafis, moreover, would have to soft-pedal issues such as gender equality and the equality of Muslim and non-Muslim citizens \u2014 thus raising the ire of secular forces.\nBut the cost to Egypt if Salafi parties joined the Muslim Brothers in shunning political participation would be just as high. At this current tumultuous moment in Egyptian politics, Islamists will not quietly withdraw from politics and concentrate solely on religious affairs. The Muslim Brotherhood is already openly calling for defiance of the regime, and the Salafis could follow suit. The Mubarak regime only managed to repress Islamists by arresting thousands of them and rigging elections \u2014 any regime seeking to limit Islamist participation would have to do the same, and probably on an even larger scale. The exclusion of Islamists, in other words, also means the exclusion of democracy.\nOttaway is a senior scholar at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.\n\u00a9 Foreign Policy, 2013\n02/03/2019 admin Comments Off on The great escape\nBAGHDAD \u2014 On July 21, the temperature spiked to a sweltering 107 degrees in Baghdad \u2014 brutal heat for the guards and prisoners inside Abu Ghraib\u2019s cement confines.\nOutside, among a patchwork of green farmland and dry brown fields, federal police and army troops \u2014 packing AK-47s, PKC machine guns and sniper rifles \u2014 were positioned throughout the terrain, which is dotted with Sunni farms and villages where insurgents had once launched a guerrilla war against U.S. troops. Within the walls of the infamous prison, the guards \u2014 armed only with pepper spray and clubs \u2014 were the last line of defense from would-be assailants.\nAt around 9 p.m. that night, as detainees were being counted on the way back to their cells after dinner, the mortars began to fall.\nA barrage of more than 40 rounds hit the grounds in rapid succession \u2014 some counted as many as 100 explosions. As guards and detainees scrambled for cover, two car bombs exploded outside, punching a hole in the walls of the massive prison compound.\nMore than 50 gunmen wearing tribal robes then entered the grounds, wielding pistols, AK-47s, and hand grenades. They had been on the road and in nearby villages, waiting to storm the facility. The power was cut, and the detainees broke out in cries of \u201cGod is great.\u201d\nThe gunmen opened fire on any officer they saw. \u201cThe prisoners rioted. Some burned mattresses and clothes, others had stored homemade explosives to hurl at the guards. The infiltrators handed weapons to their jailed comrades. There was screaming and chaos,\u201d one of the guards at Abu Ghraib recalled. \u201cWe were surrounded.\u201d\nWhen the assault ended, 71 prisoners were dead but hundreds of hardened militants had been freed in a stunning attack by al-Qaeda\u2019s local subsidiary. The exact number is still unclear: The Iraqi government estimated anywhere from 300 to more than 850 detainees, including some arrested by U.S. forces years ago, had been busted out. The fact that the Iraqi security apparatus still does not know exactly how many militants escaped is a stunning admission of incompetence \u2014 and a testament to how badly it was knocked off balance by the assault.\nIt\u2019s not just this one prison break \u2014 there are signs that militants are gaining momentum across the country. Iraq just witnessed its deadliest month since the end of its civil war in 2008: The United Nations announced last week that 1,057 Iraqis had been killed in July.\nAl-Qaeda\u2019s assaults are also becoming more sophisticated. The July 21 attack was coordinated with an assault on Taji Prison, the other main detention facility just north of Baghdad, though no detainees were freed there. Militants have also grown expert at staging coordinated car bombings \u2014 like the wave of attacks on July 29, when 15 car bombs struck Shiite neighborhoods across the country, killing at least 50 people and injuring over 1,000.\nThe Abu Ghraib prison break was not only a counterterrorism disaster, it laid bare Iraq\u2019s political dysfunction. Al-Qaeda in Iraq has dashed the hopes of U.S. and Iraqi officials who banked that the 2007-2008 \u201csurge\u201d destroyed the movement, taking advantage of the country\u2019s poisonous sectarian politics to regain its strength. Sen. John McCain blamed America\u2019s failure to leave a residual U.S. force in the country for the attack. \u201cWe won the peace and lost the war. It is really tragic,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd those people who are out of Abu Ghraib now, they are heading right to Syria.\u201d\nIndeed, Syria\u2019s descent into civil war has bolstered al-Qaeda\u2019s fortunes in the region. The group now identifies itself as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, in a nod to the fact that its cross-border ambitions stretch from Damascus to Baghdad. While al-Qaeda has yet to deploy fighters from Syria for attacks in Iraq, according to a former insurgent, some Syrian jihadists have fled into Iraq and received weapons from Sunni tribes.\nIn addition to using the Syrian conflict to bolster its reputation among disaffected Sunnis, al-Qaeda has sought to recruit supporters by exploiting missteps by Iraq\u2019s Shiite-led government. In its statement claiming responsibility for the jail break, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant said their operation was carried out as reprisal for the shooting of peaceful Sunni protestors in the northern city of Hawija in April, where security forces killed more than 50 mostly unarmed Sunni protesters.\nMeanwhile, the Abu Ghraib prison break debacle has sowed dissension among Iraq\u2019s political elite, as members of the ruling class blamed each other for the fiasco.\nThe rancor started at the top. Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki accused a key political partner and rival, Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr\u2019s followers, who make up a large number of the rank-and-file prison guards in Iraq\u2019s penitentiary system, of assisting al-Qaeda. \u201cWhat happened in Abu Ghraib prison was the guards who were inside the prison, are connected to these militias, and it was they who colluded and it was they who opened the doors,\u201d Maliki said. The Sadr movement, which holds several government ministries, responded with their own statement mocking the prime minister for \u201closing his mind.\u201d\nIn turn, Justice Minister Hassan Shimmari blamed the security forces for assisting the prison break. \u201cI had the impression that there was a collusion,\u201d Shimmari said on television, saying checkpoints around the prison had been abandoned. \u201cThe 120 policemen responsible for this area all disappeared except for an officer and two cops.\u201d\nAdmission after admission has come out in the local media: 200 Sunni prisoners, some of them from al-Qaeda, had been transferred to Abu Ghraib just days before the escape; prisoners had easy access to cell phones, so were able to communicate with the prison break plotters in the countdown to the escape. The attack has demoralized Iraqis. Shiite religious clerics have publicly questioned the competence of the security forces and drubbed the government for letting down the families of terror attack victims. \u201cAs the criminals return, people will feel depression, frustration, fear and panic,\u201d said Sheikh Abdel Mehdi Karbalai, a senior representative of Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani, the most revered Shiite religious figure in Iraq.\nMeanwhile, the surviving guards are angry that they are being treated as accomplices rather than the victims. The justice minister and deputy minister visited them shortly after the attack, in the middle of the night, and continued pointing fingers. \u201cThey were blaming us for what happened,\u201d one of the guards said.\nThe guard, however, believes that the corruption that allowed such a disaster reaches much higher up the Iraqi political system. \u201cWe are under the impression that some elements from the government and the security troops helped the gunmen,\u201d the guard said. \u201cHow could so many prisoners disappear within minutes after they left the prison?\u201d\nFor al-Qaeda, the political infighting was icing on the cake of an immensely successful operation. The terror group boasted about the operation in a lengthy statement, bragging that it had \u201cfreed the lions\u201d from the \u201cSafaween,\u201d or Safavids, a derogatory term for Shiites.\nThe guards were stunned at the brutality of the assault. One guard pretended to be dead, lying in a pile of his fellow guards\u2019 corpses. An al-Qaeda fighter was checking the bodies for the living, executing anyone who was still breathing. The guard, who had been shot in the leg, covered himself in blood. A fighter tried to kick his body over, but gave up and moved on. \u201cThank God, I am still alive,\u201d the guard said.\nAnother guard recalled watching a colleague call out to the shooters: \u201cI am from Abu Ghraib, my name is Othman Omar,\u201d a Sunni name. The gunmen assured him he would be safe if he came out, since he belonged to their sect \u2014 when he approached, they shot him dead. Gunmen held one policeman at gunpoint and took his pistol and badge, telling another fighter, \u201cWe can use this.\u201d Al-Qaeda claims they killed more than 100 security forces in the raid; official Iraqi government figures put the number at 10.\nThe Abu Ghraib prison break may be over, but its effects will reverberate around Iraq and the broader region for many months to come. The men who carried it out are still on the loose, ready to carry out more bombings, stronger than ever. The guards, meanwhile, marveled at the jihadists\u2019 confidence and cool.\n\u201cThey seemed not to be in a rush, they were doing what they wanted, with no confusion,\u201d one guard said. \u201cThey knew what to do.\u201d\nRaheem Salman is a correspondent with Reuters in Baghdad and a former staffer with the Los Angeles Times.\nNed Parker is the former Baghdad bureau chief for the Los Angeles Times and the 2011-2012 Edward R.

Remember the peace process? After three years of dormancy, it\u2019s back.\nWell, maybe. \u201cThe agreement is still in the process of being formalized,\u201d Kerry hedged, but Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat and Israeli Justice Minister Tzipi Livni will meet in Washington this week to continue planning.\nIn case you\u2019ve forgotten what all this means, here\u2019s a handy guide to the buzzwords you\u2019ll be hearing for the next few weeks.\nPreconditions: What\u2019s keeping these talks from being \u201cformalized\u201d? Israeli and Palestinian negotiators have been reticent to sit down at the same table without a general framework and some early concessions. A reported stumbling block in Kerry\u2019s latest push to re-establish talks has been Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas\u2019 insistence that Israeli negotiators propose a border for a potential Palestinian state and agree to a settlement freeze. What\u2019s that, you ask?\nSettlement Freeze: A perennial problem in Israeli-Palestinian negotiations, Palestinian officials regularly call for the Israeli government to halt the construction of settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, places that Palestinian negotiators hope to claim for a Palestinian state. Many Palestinians consider the proliferation of settlements in the West Bank, often subsidized by the Israeli government, to be a tacit effort to informally annex the West Bank. The more settlements that are built, they argue, the harder it will be to reach a two-state solution based on the 1967 border.\n1967 Border: At the start of the Six Day War in 1967, Gaza was held by Egypt, the Golan Heights by Syria, and the West Bank by Jordan; after the Six Day War, Israel had pushed its Arab neighbors to the Sinai Peninsula to the West, to the Jordan River to the East, and out of the Golan, and its occupation of these new territories has continued since (except for Gaza, from which Israel withdrew but has since subjected to a military blockade to isolate the Strip\u2019s Hamas-led government). The two-state solution is premised on a Palestinian state established in the Gazan and West Bank territory held by Egypt and Jordan at the start of the Six Day War. But those exact borders, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has argued, have become indefensible, and Israeli negotiators are pushing to retain settler-held territory in the West Bank.\nMutually Agreed Swaps: The compromise, then, is to exchange territory \u2014 Palestinian negotiators will concede settlement blocs in the West Bank to Israel in exchange for territorial additions to the Palestinian state. Exactly what those land swaps will entail, though, will be a major subject of any negotiation.\nRight of Return: This can be a tricky one, even for some politicians. Palestinian negotiators argue that Palestinians and their descendents displaced by the 1948 war and the establishment of Israel should be allowed to return to the homes they fled. Israeli negotiators have consistently resisted the resettlement of Palestinian refugees to Israel, arguing that it is logistically not feasible and would alter the fundamental identity of the Israeli state.\nRecognition as a Jewish State: The last round of direct talks fell apart when Palestinian negotiators reportedly would not concede that Israel is a \u201cJewish state\u201d in exchange for a settlement freeze. The identity of Israel as a Jewish state has become an increasing priority for Israeli negotiators over the past decade as Israel has faced growing demographic challenges.\n\u201cMissed Opportunity\u201d: Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs Abba Eban famously accused Palestinian negotiators of \u201cnever miss[ing] an opportunity to miss an opportunity,\u201d but it could be said of all the parties involved, including, often, the United States. This latest round of talks \u2014 still potential talks, remember, next week\u2019s meeting will still be hashing out the preliminary details \u2014 could well be yet another \u201cmissed opportunity\u201d for all involved. See also: the 2010 negotiations, the Annapolis Conference, the Roadmap for Peace, the Clinton administration\u2019s Camp David Summit, the Oslo Negotiations, the Madrid Conference, etc.\nBlue-eyed jihad\n02/03/2019 admin Comments Off on Blue-eyed jihad\nEuropean jihadists in Syria have been blamed by some Syrians for ruining the purity of their revolution, held up by Bashar al-Assad\u2019s regime as a sign of that the rebels are foreign-backed radicals, and feared by Western security agencies as a potential terrorist threat.\nBut despite all the talk about them, they rarely speak with outsiders about their beliefs and goals. So when two European jihadists agreed to speak with us, it marked the first time that fighters working with al Qaeda inside Syria explained to the world why they are doing battle in Syria and what future they imagine for the country.\nThe two fighters \u2014 one of whom is an ethnic European who converted to Islam, while the other is ethnically neither European nor Arab, and was born a Muslim \u2014 set a couple of preconditions. Their real names and countries of origin could not be published; as they put it, \u201cEurope will do.\u201d They also wore masks during the interview, so they could not be recognized. \u201cI still want to travel to my family in Europe,\u201d one said.\nIt was also strictly forbidden to name the town where the interview would take place. \u201cYou can mention somewhere in northern Sham,\u201d one of the men declared, a reference to Greater Syria \u2014 encompassing not only modern-day Syria but also Lebanon, Israel-Palestine, Jordan, and Iraq \u2014 that existed in the early Islamic period.\nGetting to the location of the interview posed another problem. In a sign of how perilous Syria has become, al Qaeda-affiliated militants man a checkpoint slightly more than a mile outside the Atmeh refugee camp along the border with Turkey. And there were many more such checkpoints along the way to where the two European jihadists live. With kidnappings of journalists and aid workers by rebels spiking in recent months, locals all advised against the idea of driving deeper into the country. After long deliberations, we chose to stay in Atmeh and send a trustworthy Syrian middle-man on our behalf deeper inside the country. He carried our questionnaire, a camera, and conducted the interviews.\nThe meetings with the European jihadists occurred separately, on two separate days in two different locations. The interviews were conducted in English, as the fighters are not fluent in Arabic.\nThe phenomenon of European jihadists flowing into Syria is increasingly attracting the attention of Western security agencies, which fear what they will do when they return home. According to American and European intelligence officials speaking to the New York Times, more Westerners are currently fighting in Syria than in Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, or Yemen: The estimates range from 600 to 1,000 fighters. Their primary motivation is religion \u2014 the vast majority are white converts to Islam or naturalized immigrants with a Muslim background.\nThe jihadists\u2019 religious extremism, military experience in Syria, and the ease with which they could travel around Europe and the United States make a potentially lethal cocktail. Matthew Olsen, the director of the U.S. National Counterterrorism Center, recently told a conference that Syria has become \u201cthe predominant jihadist battlefield in the world,\u201d and raised fears that such jihadists could return \u201cas part of really a global jihadist movement to Western Europe and, potentially, to the United States.\u201d\nAbu Talal, a blond-haired, blue-eyed fighter sporting a black balaclava, is just the sort of religious warrior that keeps Western security officials up at night. He says that he came to Syria \u201cto help the mujahideen [jihadists] against Bashar,\u201d but refuses to say how he arrived from Europe. However, he adds that he \u201cwill visit my family [in Europe] again and then return to Syria.\u201d\nIn the interview, Abu Talal, who carries a gun and sits in front of a black banner used by jihadist groups, says that he has joined the \u201cIslamic State of Iraq and Syria,\u201d \u2014 the al Qaeda affiliate in Iraq that is both fighting against the Assad regime and attempting to extend its \u201cIslamic emirate\u201d into Syria.\nThe ISIS, which is headed by Iraqi national Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, is considered the most radical group in Syria. With bases in and around the Bab al-Hawa border crossing with Turkey, the northern cities of Raqqa and Aleppo, and the northwestern Turkmen Mountains, it is an extension of the al Qaeda forces that battled U.S. and Iraqi government troops in Iraq during that country\u2019s civil war.\nHe claims that the relationship between the ISIS and the Free Syrian Army, an umbrella group of more mainstream Syrian rebel groups, is good. \u201cThey are mujahideen and we are mujahideen. We ask God to guide us both to fight Bashar.\u201d\nBut why do many around the world see foreign jihadists as terrorists? \u201cThat is funny,\u201d Abu Talal says, \u201cbecause we don\u2019t kill innocent people like the forces of Bashar do. The whole world thinks sharia [Islamic law] is bad, but that is not true. We help people\u2026. And we will bring the sharia here \u2014 no matter what.\u201d\nThe jihadists often stated their conviction that the United States will sooner or later get involved in Syria \u2014 not to topple the Assad regime, but to target them for death. Both believe that the United States will use drones against Syrian jihadists \u2014 just like what is happening in Pakistan or Yemen.\n\u201cI am sure the Americans will start using drones,\u201d says Abu Salman, the second European fighter, who wears a traditional Arabic shawl to hide his identity. \u201cAs soon as we get rid of the Assad regime they will send their weapons. But of course, we will fight them. The Prophet, peace be upon him, said: \u2018The infidels will fight you as they fought me.\u2019 But God willing, we will win this fight\u2026 [E]ven if the Americans attack, we will not retreat.\u201d\nAbu Salman is something of a free agent in the Syrian jihad, moving fluidly between groups depending on who needs his services. \u201cI am involved in electronics,\u201d he says. \u201cI cooperate with any group who needs me here. I did not join one specific group because of the nature of my work, every group needs me.\u201d\nBut Abu Salman adds that he mostly works with al Qaeda affiliates such as Jabhat al-Nusra and ISIS, or alternatively Ahrar al-Sham and Suqoor al-Sham, militias known for their strict interpretation of Islamic law. \u201cThey are the best fighters of Islam,\u201d he explains.\nAbu Salman believes that foreign jihadists in Syria have gotten a bad rap: He says he agreed to give this interview to explain to the world what foreign fighters are doing in Syria. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter how long you speak of what you do,\u201d he says. \u201cIf you have a beard, if you do salaat [Muslim prayers] you are considered a terrorist. The outside world doesn\u2019t understand us. They don\u2019t have our mentality. They don\u2019t know what we want.\u201d\nUnlike Abu Talal, Abu Salman is willing to explain how he came to Syria. \u201cI came from the airport [in Turkey] and went illegally through the border from Turkey into Sham,\u201d he says. \u201cEverybody is taking this road.\nThe journey, however, is starting to become more difficult for foreigners. \u201cThe road is starting to get cut,\u201d Abu Salman says. \u201cYou cannot enter into Sham anymore without a Syrian passport, there are many more checks.\u201d\nAbu Salman agrees with his jihadist comrade that some elements of the Free Syrian Army are good \u201cmujahideen\u201d \u2014 but worries that the United States is funneling support to \u201cbad\u201d elements within the umbrella organization. \u201cThey [the United States] only give weapons to the worst groups; those who want democracy,\u201d he explains. \u201cThese groups operate inside the Free Syrian Army, but they even don\u2019t fight for democracy, they just steal money.\u201d\nThe presence of foreign jihadists is controversial among local supporters of the Syrian revolt. Foreign Islamists regularly flog or execute alleged regime supporters in Raqqa, while in Aleppo jihadists executed a Syrian youth they believed had committed blasphemy. Kidnappings of Syrians, foreign journalists, and aid workers by Islamists are on the rise. Just this week, Father Paolo Dall\u2019Oglio, a well-known Jesuit priest who lived in Syria for three decades and was staunchly pro-revolution, disappeared in Raqqa.\nAbu Salman knows how tenuous the jihadists\u2019 position is among the Syrian population: He is convinced that after the Assad regime\u2019s defeat, some Syrians will launch a second revolution against radical Islamist groups. \u201cI feel this will happen,\u201d he says. \u201cBut it doesn\u2019t matter. Because the prophet peace be upon him, has said \u2018You will win this fight.'\u201d\nAnd after Abu Salman and his cohort topple Assad and crush more secular rebel groups, what then? What will become of Syria\u2019s sizeable Christian, Alawi, and Shiite minority populations?\n\u201cThe minorities?\u201d he answers. \u201cThey must just accept it. Those who do not accept it, they will be thrown out \u2014 or they can leave.\u201d\nJenan Moussa is the roving reporter for Dubai based pan Arabic Al-Aan TV.\nHarald Doornbos is a reporter based in Pakistan covering the greater Middle East.\nSnapshot: Western Sydney marginal seat of Reid\n02/03/2019 admin Comments Off on Snapshot: Western Sydney marginal seat of Reid\nCreated in 1922, Reid is named after the former prime minister (1904 to 1905), NSW premier (1894-1899) and high comissioner, Sir George Reid.\nThe seat covers an eclectic mix of wealthy, multicultural and young, gentrified areas.\nThis mix is the result of a major 2009 redistribution which effectively carved out entirely new boundaries for the seat. Initially, the old 1922 division of Reid was to be abolished completely, but the name was kept and now describes a division made up mostly from the old seat of Lowe and a small section of the old seat of Reid.\nReid sits in Sydney\u2019s inner west covering a mix of inner and outer city suburbs spanning along the southern edge of Parramtta River, from Drummoyne in the east to Auburn in the west.\nAs a result it covers wealthy harbourside suburbs, ethnically-diverse hubs as well as Greens-friendly, inner-city pockets.\nMajor suburbs include Drummoyne, Burwood, Strathfield, Homebush, Five Dock, Auburn and Granville.\nMAIN CONTENDERS\nSitting Labor MP John Murphy is running for re-election. The Liberal Party is running Craig Laundy.\nJohn Murphy held the seat of Lowe between 1998-2010 before it was abolished, he then won Reid at the 2010 Federal Election. He began his career in law, before moving to the public service. Mr Murphy served as a councillor on Drummoyne Council between 1995 and 1998. He is a vocal opponent of gay marriage.\nCraig Laundy comes from a business background, having studied economics. His family owns a series of Sydney pubs. Main policies includeinvestment in local roads and hospitals and reducing cost of living pressures.\nThe Greens are running Pauline Tyrrell. Katter\u2019s Australian Party is running Bishruel Izadeen. The Palmer United Party is running Nadeem Ashraf. The DLP are running Emily Dunn.\nFamilies: 42,933\nAverage children per family: 1.8\nMedian weekly household income: $1,493\nReid covers a distinct mix of cultural and socio-economic divides, which is reflected in its marginal status.\nIn the wealthier, habourside suburb of Drummoyne, close to 65 per cent of residents were born in Australia, followed by England (5%) and Italy (2.6%). Only 37 per cent of residents have both parents born overseas, with 72% of residents speaking English at home, followed by Italian (4.3%) and Greek (3.8%).\nBy contrast, in the electorate\u2019s western suburb of Granville, only 37 per cent of voters were born in Australia, followed by India (9%), China (7%) and Lebanon (7%). Some 71 per cent of residents have parents who were both born overseas and only 25 per cent speak English at home. Almost 20 per cent of Granville\u2019s residents speak Arabic.\nOver 10 per cent of the Reid electorate identifies as Muslim, based on 2011 figures.\nIN DEPTH: GRANVILLE V DRUMMOYNE\nIs the US ramping up a secret war in Somalia?\n02/03/2019 admin Comments Off on Is the US ramping up a secret war in Somalia?\nWASHINGTON \u2014 The Obama administration earlier this year expanded its secret war in Somalia, stepping up assistance for federal and regional Somali intelligence agencies that are allied against the country\u2019s Islamist insurgency.\nIt\u2019s a move that\u2019s not only violating the terms of an international arms embargo, according to U.N. investigators. The escalation also could be a signal that Washington\u2019s signature victory against al-Qaida\u2019s most powerful African ally may be in danger of unraveling.\nJust last year, Obama\u2019s team was touting Somalia as unqualified success. \u201cSomalia is a good news story for the region, for the international community, but most especially for the people of Somalia itself,\u201d Johnnie Carson, the U.S. assistant secretary of state for African affairs, told reporters last October at the New York Foreign Press Center. Carson praised African forces, principally Uganda and Kenya, for driving the terror group al-Shabab out of the Somalia\u2019s main cities, Mogadishu and Kismayo. \u201cThe U.S.,\u201d he boasted, \u201chas been a significant and major contributor to this effort.\u201d Indeed, the United States has emerged as a major force in the region, running training camps for Ugandan peacekeepers destined for battle with Somalia\u2019s militants, and hosting eight Predator drones, eight more F-15E fighter jets, and nearly 2,000 U.S. troops and military civilians at a base in neighboring Djibouti.\nBut despite the array of forces aligned against it, Al-Shabab is demonstrating renewed vigor. \u201cThe military strength of al-Shabaab, with an approximately 5,000-strong force, remains arguably intact in terms of operational readiness, chain of command, discipline and communications ability,\u201d according to a report by the U.N. Monitoring Group for Somalia and Eritrea. \u201cBy avoiding direct military confrontation, it has preserved the core of its fighting force and resources.\u201d\n\u201cAt present, al-Shabaab remains the principal threat to peace and security in Somalia,\u201d the report adds. \u201cThe organization has claimed responsibility for hundreds of assassinations and attacks involving improvised explosive devices, ambushes, mortar shelling grenades and hit and run tactics.\u201d\nNot coincidentally, perhaps, American involvement in the region is again on the rise, as well. Last year, according to the U.N. group, the United States violated the international arms embargo on Somalia by dispatching American special operations forces in Russian M-17 helicopters to northern Somalia in support of operations by the intelligence service of Puntland, a breakaway Somali province.\n(The U.N. Security Council in 1992 imposed an embargo \u201con all deliveries of weapons and military equipment to Somalia.\u201d The embargo was eased in March, 2013, allowing for the transfer of weapons, equipment or military advisers for the development of the federal government\u2019s security forces. But the Somali government is required to inform the U.N. Security Council sanctions committee when it receives foreign military assistance.)\nTwo U.S. air-charter companies linked to American intelligence activities in Somalia have increased the number of clandestine flights to Mogadishu and the breakaway province of Puntland by as much as 25 percent last year.\nFlorida-based Prescott Support Co. and RAM Air Services, flew at least 84 civilian flights between August 2012 and March 2013. During the previous year, the two companies flew only 65 flights, \u201cindicating an increase in United States support,\u201d the U.N. report notes.\nThe flights \u2014 which have not been reported to the U.N. Security Council \u2014 suggest a further strengthening of American cooperation with Somalia\u2019s National Intelligence Agency in Mogadishu and the Puntland Intelligence Service, which has been cooperating with U.S. counterterrorism operations for more than a decade.\nSeveral flights last November by Prescott have been linked by the U.N. group with the construction of two buildings at the Puntland Intelligence Service compound, north of the town of Galkayo. \u201cThe construction of these two buildings during the month of November 2012 coincides with four Prescott Support Co. L-100-30 flights that landed at Galkayo airport between 3 and 9 November 2012 and constituted a load capacity of up to 80 tons of cargo,\u201d according to the report.\nIt\u2019s one of many ways that Western intelligence agencies \u2014 including those of the United States, Britain and France \u2014 have been secretly and \u201cdirectly supporting intelligence services\u201d in Mogadishu, Puntland and Somaliland, another breakaway Somali province, according to the U.N. investigators. At times, this assistance has been in violation of U.N. resolutions, claims their latest report, which runs nearly five hundred pages \u2014 not counting several classified annexes.\nSince the report was finalized, al-Shabab has been riven by internal fighting that has splintered the movement, left one of its leaders dead, and sent several others fleeing from the group\u2019s southern stronghold. But the insurgents\u2019s well-financed secret service \u2014 Amniyat \u2014 remains intact, capable of carrying out terror operations at will. And al-Shabab\u2019s leader, Ahmed Godane, remains firmly in charge of the movement\u2019s terror apparatus, according to experts on Somali politics.\nThe survival of al-Shabab\u2019s terror infrastructure has dealt a blow to what had appeared to be a signature achievement of the Obama administration: backing an African led effort to deny an al-Qaida affiliated insurgency a strategic toehold in the heart of East Africa.\nIn August 2011, a U.S.-backed African peacekeeping mission wrested control of the capital of Mogadishu, helping to deliver a rare respite of calm. It set the stage for the September 2012, election of a new, Western-backed President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud. Another key American ally, Kenya, last year joined forces with a Somali clan and seized control of al-Shabab\u2019s principle stronghold, Kismayo.\nBut those gains are being threatened by rampant corruption within the U.S. backed government\u2019s weak institutions, al-Shabab\u2019s infiltration in the \u201chighest levels\u201d of the Somali government, and continued attacks against targets inside Somali, including a recent deadly strike on a U.N. humanitarian aid compound in Mogadishu.\nEven worse, Kenyan forces in Kismayo have clashed with clans loyal to the U.S.-backed federal government while colluding with financial backers of al-Shabab in the lucrative and illicit charcoal trade, enabling the Islamist movement to refill its war chest. \u201cThe revenue that al-Shabaab currently derives from its Kismayo shareholding, its . . . exports and the taxation of ground transportation likely exceeds the estimated U.S. $25 million it generated in charcoal revenue when it controlled Kismayo,\u201d the report stated.\nOver the long term, al-Shabab appears to pursuing a strategy that can best be described as biding its time. It has not carried out a major offensive against African peacekeepers in nearly two years.\nInstead, it has stockpiled weapons and ammunition throughout Southern and central Somalia, launching hundreds of attacks against foreign African forces, civilians and U.N. humanitarian aid workers, and waiting for foreign forces to withdraw from the country. Earlier this year, Ethiopian forces, worn down by a campaign of guerrilla attacks, withdrew from the towns of El Bur, in the Galgadud region, and Hudur, in the Bakol region. Al-Shabab effortlessly seized control of the towns.\nEver since the 9/11 terror attacks, American military intelligence agencies have expanded their presence in East Africa, seeking initially to track al-Qaida militants responsible for attacks against U.S. targets, but later investing in regional African efforts to confront Somali militants. While the Obama administration has strived to conceal those activities from public view in the United States, its presence in Somalia has sometimes been hard to ignore. Last year, the U.N. monitoring group complained that drone flights had clogged the skies over Somalia, posing a threat to air safety in the country. According to the report, unmanned aircraft slammed into a refugee camp, skirted a fuel dump and nearly crashed into a passenger plan over Mogadishu.\nThis year\u2019s report notes that international investigators have requested information from the U.S. government about \u201cuncorroborated information\u201d about a \u201chandcuffed and blindfolded passenger\u201d who boarded a plane at Galkayo airport. The United States government \u201chas not replied to date.\u201d\nSpokespeople for the United States and British missions to the United Nations declined to comment on the reports, citing a longstanding policy of not commenting publically on intelligence operations. Officials from Prescott and RAM, the airlines, did not respond to requests for comment.\nKenneth Menkhaus, a professor at Davidson College and an expert on Somalia, said that for the time being the greatest threat to al-Shabaab is emerging within the organization\u2019s own ranks, not from the U.S. counter-terrorism effort.\nInternal division within the Islamist group exploded into all out fighting during the past month. In June, forces loyal to Godane killed al-Shabab cofounder Ibrahim al-Afghani, and sent two other Shabab leaders, Sheikh Mukhtar Robow, and Hassan Dahir Aweys, fleeing. The fighting, according to Menkaus, has left Shabab \u201cweaker. But weaker than what?\u201d\nThe movement, more solidly under the control of Godane, remains \u201ca strong and dangerous force, capable of extortion, intimidation, and assassination,\u201d he added. \u201cThis fits the shift of al-Shabab from what had been a standing army, capable of controlling large swaths of territory, to a decentralized, clandestine terrorist network.\u201d\nIn a particularly grim twist, it is America\u2019s counterterrorism partners \u2014 corrupt Somali institutions and Kenyan collusion with al-Shabab\u2019s financial backers \u2014 that pose a potentially even more lethal threat to American aims. \u201cThat Shabab is stronger than people think is interesting and newsworthy,\u201d said Menkhaus. But to Menkhaus, the bigger story is the failure of America\u2019s allies to maintain a united front against al-Shabab. \u201cOur best friends are busy fighting one another.\u201d\nSnapshot: Western Sydney marginal seat of Lindsay\n02/03/2019 admin Comments Off on Snapshot: Western Sydney marginal seat of Lindsay\nCreated in 1984, Lindsay has, in every election since, been held by the party of government, making it a key bellweather seat.\nAs a result it is often the site of fierce campaigning.\nIt was originally a safe Labor seat, but this changed in 1996 when the Liberal\u2019s Jackie Kelly won and held the seat until 2007.\nSince then, the seat has been held by Labor MP and Assistant Treasurer David Bradbury.\nIn 2007 it was the site of a controversial Liberal advertising campaign, with supporters distributing a fake leaflet that alleged Labor supported the building of a mosque and leniency for terror suspects.\nLindsay is on the outer north-western fringe of Sydney\u2019s suburbs. At its heart lies Penrith, but it stretches to Londonderry in the north to Mulgoa in the south.\nKey suburbs include Cambridge Park, Castlereagh, Claremont Meadows, Cranebrook, Emu Plains, Glenmore Park, Jamisontown, Kingswood, Oxley Park, Penrith, Regentville, St Marys and Werrington\nLindsay is currently held by Labor MP and Assistant Treasurer David Bradbury, pictured right.\nThe seat will be contested by Liberal candidate Fiona Scott, pictured left, who pulled votes in the 2010 election with a swing of 4.71 per cent.\nBoth have made pledges to extend a major highway to connect Penrith to Sydney city. Mr Bradbury has announced further policies to protect local bushland and boost jobs via local infrastructure projects. Fiona Scott has pledged to support local businesses.\nThe Greens: David Lenton.\nThe DLP: Phil Howarth.\nThe Stable Population Party: Geoff Brown.\nThe Palmer United Party: Andrew Wilcox.\nAustralia First: Mick Saunders.\nNearly 75 per cent of the electorate\u2019s population was born in Australia, with over 80 per cent speaking English at home (122,043). This is followed by Indo-Aryan languages (3105) and Arabic (1912).\nMost of Lindsay\u2019s voters are young, home-owners and families, with a median age of 34 years.\nCost-of-living pressures and the National Broadband Network are key issues in the area, as well as public transport.\nIN DEPTH: LINDSAY SUBURB OF PENRITH\nEgyptian shooting was a war crime\n02/03/2019 admin Comments Off on Egyptian shooting was a war crime\nCAIRO \u2013 As dozens of corpses, wrapped in crisp white sheets, were carried out of the field hospital at the Islamist sit-in outside the Rabaa al-Adaweya mosque on Saturday morning, wailing onlookers held onto each other for comfort, screaming out the victims\u2019 names.\nAs ambulances lined up to take away the dead, blood trickled down the orange stretchers. A man bent down and stuck his finger in the crimson pool, putting it to his nose. \u201cIt smells like shaheed,\u201d he said \u2014 martyrs.\nThe early Saturday morning attack, which killed at least 72 pro-Morsy protesters, seemed to mark the beginning of a new wave of violence meant to disperse the demonstrations opposing the military takeover in Egypt. But a heated who-shot-who debate has since exploded: While Interior Minister Mohammed Ibrahim vehemently denied the use of live fire by security forces, doctors at the field hospital said they had received a steady stream of injured and dead protesters struck down near the sit-in\u2019s brick barricade with gun shots to the head and chest.\n\u201cWhat happened today was a war crime,\u201d said Ahmed Fawzy, a cardiologist from the National Heart Institute who spent Saturday treating wounded protesters, many of whom he could not save. \u201cIt\u2019s catastrophic.\u201d\nAs the mangled bodies were removed from the sit-in, they passed through a corridor formed by medics and volunteers holding hands. As every corpse passed, the crowd would shout Allahu Akbar, or \u201cGod is great.\u201d\nWhile Ibrahim said the Muslim Brotherhood fabricated a crisis for \u201cpolitical gains,\u201d Islamists insist the Rabaa killings were part of a planned massacre. Near the start of the violence, the Egyptian military invited foreign press on helicopter tours of pro-army protests at Tahrir Square and the Presidential Palace \u2014 a move that conveniently kept them away from Rabaa.\n\u201cDo you see human rights? \u201cDo you see democracy?\u201d one man screamed in the mosque turned makeshift hospital filled with unconscious and wounded protesters. \u201cSisi is a killer! Down with military rule!\u201d\nAt the Rabaa field hospital, medics displayed handfuls of bullet casings \u2014 evidence, they said, that the security forces opened fire on protesters with live ammunition, though the interior minister denies these claims. The casings bore the Egyptian initials standing for the \u201cArab Republic of Egypt,\u201d which the medics say are written on all military bullets. FP could not independently verify the origin of the bullet casings.\nBut it wasn\u2019t just Cairo that witnessed bloodshed this weekend. In the city of Port Said, one person died and 29 were injured following clashes between pro- and anti-Morsy groups. Once again, Egypt\u2019s rival political forces were bitterly divided over what happened: Some witnesses say that attendees at a funeral for a Morsy supporter opened fire at a nearby church and set fire to a police vehicle, while Muslim Brotherhood members stated that the funeral was attacked by thugs.\nThere is so far no sign that the persistent violence in Egypt will die down. A Human Rights Watch report released Sunday condemned the previous day\u2019s bloodshed, saying that the attack \u201csuggests a shocking willingness by the police and by certain politicians to ratchet up violence against pro-Morsy protesters.\u201d Following the Rabaa killings, Interim President Adly Mansour delegated to Prime Minister Hazem al-Beblawi the authority to grant the military permission to arrest civilians.\nMeanwhile, Morsy\u2019s whereabouts are still unknown. The interior minister said in a press conference on Saturday that he would likely be sent to Tora Prison on the outskirts of Cairo, where another deposed Egyptian leader \u2014 Hosni Mubarak \u2014 is also being held.\nThe crackdown has also frayed the alliance between the military and some anti-Morsy civilian groups. Tamarod (\u201crebellion\u201d), the protest movement that spearheaded the June 30 protests against Morsy, criticized the Interior Ministry\u2019s decision to reinstate departments to monitor political and religious activities that were shut down following the 2011 revolution. The group expressed grave concern over the possible return to a Mubarak-era state security apparatus.\n\u201cOur campaign supports the state\u2019s plans in fighting terrorism,\u201d Tamarod spokesman Mahmoud Badr said in a statement to the press. \u201cHowever, we have earlier stressed that this support doesn\u2019t include the taking of extraordinary measures, or the contradiction of freedoms and human rights.\u201d\nThe April 6 Youth Movement, one of the activist groups that helped spark the 2011 revolution, has demanded that the interior minister resign following the killings at Rabaa, although the group also added that the Muslim Brotherhood routinely incites violence.\nBut with every corpse sent to the morgue, Rabaa and the Islamist protesters there have grown more defiant. A short walk from the sit-in, groups of men built a brick barricade higher than the night before. In the baking sun, they handed dusty bricks down an assembly line and recited Quranic verses. Instead of heeding the military\u2019s call to disperse, they are organizing medical equipment, rallying volunteers, and fortifying their perimeter.\nHassan, who used to work in Egypt\u2019s vast government bureaucracy, said that nothing will force him from Rabaa until he gets his vote \u2014 and his president \u2014 back.\n\u201cSoon, the military will come back,\u201d Hassan said, washing the dirt from his hands and staring down the road. \u201cWe are ready for anything.\u201d\nSophia Jones is a Cairo-based journalist covering the Middle East.

Key suburbs include Blacktown, Pendle Hill, Seven Hills, Riverstone, Toongabbie, Lalor Park and The Ponds.\nThe seat has seen two major redistributions in 2006 and 2009 which has contributed to the slim margins at present. The shift in 2006 saw main Labor voting suburbs such as Blacktown and Seven Hills lost while 2009 changes cut key Liberal-voting areas around the Hawkesbury area, such as Richmond and Windsor, while Seven Hills was re-added.\nAs a result, the seat was won by Labor on a 5% margin at the 2007 election before slipping to less than 1% at the 2010 election.\nCurrently, Greenway is held by regulation lawyer and Labor MP Michelle Rowland, pictured right, who won in 2010 on a slim margin of 0.88% or by just 1400 votes.\nThe Liberal Party is running Blacktown-based migration lawyer Jaymes Diaz, pictured left, after a tough preselection battle against high profile nominees such as Angry Anderson and Hills councillor Yvonne Keane.\nIt\u2019s the second time Ms Rowland and Mr Diaz have faced each other. In 2010 Ms Rowland secured votes in the working class suburbs of Blacktown such as Lalor Park and Seven Hills, while Mr Diaz won booths in the more affluent areas of Quakers Hill, Acacia Gardens and Glenwood.\nKey issues are likely to include the National Broadband Network and cost of living pressures.\nThe Greens are running Chris Brentin.\nKatter\u2019s Australian Party is running Anthony Belcastro.\nThe Palmer United Party is running Jodie Wootton.\nThe Christian Democratic Party is running Allan Green.\nThe electorate covers a democraphically split population covering working class suburbs such as Blacktown and Toongabbie as well as high-income suburbs such as Glenwood, Kellyville Ridge and The Ponds.\nMost Greenway residents were born in Australia (58%) but a large section of the communtiy was born in India (8%).\nIN DEPTH: BLACKTOWN V AUSTRALIAN AVERAGE\nIf the Middle East peace talks fall apart\n02/03/2019 admin Comments Off on If the Middle East peace talks fall apart\nWASHINGTON \u2014 Last month in Jerusalem, I sat in on a small conference organized by the Yesha Council, the central organization of Israeli settlers in the West Bank.\nA featured speaker was Naftali Bennett, leader of the far-right Jewish Home party and minister of economy, who made a simple point: The Palestinian-Israeli conflict is not solvable.\nTo underline his point, Bennett spoke of a friend from military service who suffered a shrapnel wound close to his spine \u2014 \u201cnear his backside,\u201d Bennett said, in a line that immediately made headlines. The doctors told his friend that they could operate, but he\u2019d run a serious risk of paralysis to his lower limbs. Alternatively, the friend could learn to live with an unpleasant but manageable problem.\nThe medical choice was clear, Bennett said. And the choice facing Israel was clear as well: Rather than try to solve an unsolvable conflict with the Palestinians and risk catastrophe, Israel should opt for limited and practical measures to manage the reality in the West Bank. The death of the two-state solution may be unpleasant for can-do Westerners to acknowledge, he argued, but the depth of the conflict and the number of settlers now living in the West Bank precludes a peace agreement.\nIt\u2019s a good story, but Bennett\u2019s parallel is, in fact, wrong. And yet Secretary of State John Kerry\u2019s motivation for pushing to revive Middle East peace negotiations was actually similar. Kerry reasoned that if the two-state solution is not achieved soon \u2014 perhaps in the coming two years \u2014 it might never be possible. Soon, in other words, Bennett and others who make the same point would be right.\nWhile hoping for the best, and striving to make it reality, we should also prepare for the worst. While Kerry must lay the groundwork for giving the resumed peace talks the best chance of success, he must also plan for their failure. If the negotiations collapse, there is a danger that people will take the secretary of state at his word and conclude that the door to peace is finally shut. Whatever happens at the negotiating table, Kerry must ensure that he doesn\u2019t help convince people that Bennett, after all, was correct.\nThe risk of failure is real. The Israelis and Palestinians are far apart on the most important issues and, moreover, each of the sides suspects the other has entered the talks with bad intentions. Trust is hard to come by these days in the Holy Land: Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas fears that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is only interested in talks for the sake of talks, in order to ease international pressure on Israel. Netanyahu suspects that Abbas, faced with a Palestinian society where most oppose a return to the negotiating table, has entered the talks just to avoid blame for Kerry\u2019s failure, and will continue to play the blame game during the negotiations.\nThe bad news is that they may both be right. Kerry\u2019s creative ambiguity, which was necessary to get the talks off the ground, will apparently entail him enunciating terms of reference \u2014 notably referring to the 1967 borders as a starting point for negotiations. This will permit each side to voice its reservations about these parameters before entering into negotiations. The sides have agreed to disagree, in other words, but they have agreed to do so in the same room.\nTo avoid the blame game, Kerry seems to have wisely insisted on the secrecy of the talks. Maintaining the discreet nature of the negotiations throughout their duration \u2014 and even if and when they stall \u2014 will help prevent the parties from backsliding into blame attribution. In general, the less hype there is around the talks, the less media frenzy is likely to emerge around their conclusion. The less the United States apportions failure or blame, the less credible the sides\u2019 accusations will be.\nIf the talks do collapse, will Kerry find the peace process back to where it started \u2014 or could the situation be even worse? Many fear that unmet expectations may lead to an outbreak of violence, and point to the outbreak of the Second Intifada in the wake of the much-hyped 2000 Camp David summit as evidence. In the ensuing bloodshed, more than 4,000 people lost their lives over the next four years.\nBut those drawing parallels between today and the Second Intifada risk learning the wrong lessons from history. Much of the events of 2000 had to do with internal dynamics and decisions of both parties before the collapse of peace talks. The Palestinian organizations \u2014 including the grassroots militia of Yasir Arafat\u2019s Fatah Movement \u2014 were preparing for violence long before the disappointment of Camp David. And the Israelis were already preparing a forceful response to Palestinian violence \u2014 a response that may have helped turn the conflict into a full blown and horrifically violent intifada.\nToday, the circumstances are different. Abbas is not Arafat, and the Palestinian security organizations have been thoroughly reformed under the leadership of former Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad. At present, military cooperation between Israelis and Palestinians in the West Bank is good, and is supported by an ongoing U.S. effort to maintain security. On the Israeli side, too, responsible and cool-headed generals now command the forces in the West Bank \u2014 men who are well aware of the dangers of over-reaction.\nYet even if a failure of negotiations does not lead to an outbreak of violence, it could lead to renewed demands on the Palestinian side for dissolving the Palestinian Authority. Palestinians are weary of the peace process, and there is real risk that they will increasingly prefer dangerous (and unrealistic) aspirations for a one state \u201csolution.\u201d There is also the risk of growing demands in Israel to annex less inhabited parts of the West Bank to Israel proper: Naftali Bennett, for example, has called for annexation of \u201cArea C,\u201d which includes all the Israeli settlements. Most in the Israeli political system still oppose a move along these lines.\nStaving off worst-case scenarios is possible, but requires close attention \u2014 even as Kerry\u2019s energy is devoted to giving his effort the best chance of success. The secretary of state will also have to lay the groundwork for keeping the possibility of future negotiations alive, even if this round of talks stalls. To do so, Washington should prepare steps that fall short of a final-status agreement. The United States, and even Israel, may, for example, recognize the state of Palestine even before agreement on its borders or its relations to Israel is finalized. This suggestion is less outlandish then it might seem: Several Israeli politicians, including the hawkish former Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon, suggested doing just that. Doing so would help protect some degree of Palestinian self-rule from rash steps in the wake of failure.\nFurther interim steps, while undoubtedly difficult, would go a long way for providing the peace process with a safety net. Israel, for example, may return to the idea of limited disengagement in the West Bank. Under such plans, Israel would pull out of most of the West Bank without a final status agreement, shaping its own eastern border. The authority in the vacated area would then presumably fall to the Palestinian Authority, just as it did in the Gaza Strip did when Israel evacuated in 2005. It is important that such steps be coordinated with the Palestinians as much as possible \u2014 rather than unilaterally implemented, as they were in 2005 \u2014 so that they encourage rather than preclude future negotiation.\nSkeptics (like me) have been wrong before. This round of peace talks may succeed, and we should wish wholeheartedly for their success. Netanyahu has the political backing \u2014 from opposition parties, if necessary \u2014 to make bold, historic decisions. Abbas may prove skeptics wrong and demonstrate courageous leadership in the face of difficult circumstances.\nAnd yet, even while wishing the parties Godspeed, we should also think seriously about the possibility that the talks may fail. Washington should make sure that the ultimate winners of this peace effort are not those who oppose peace.\nSachs is a fellow at the Saban Center for Middle East Policy at the Brookings Institution, where he focuses on Israeli domestic politics and foreign policy.

To win the 2012 Election Trifecta, we must sweep Socialists at all levels of government out of office.\nWhile Republicans are likely to hold the House of Representatives, we must gain at least five seats in the US Senate to make do nothing Socialist Senator Dirty Harry Reid, the former Majority Leader of the US Senate. By the time Obama completes his first term in office, the Congress will have enacted not one budget in four years, in violation of the US Constitution, as a result of Reid's failed, corrupt leadership. The Senate has not only rejected the budgets enacted by the Republican led House of Representatives, not one single Socialist in the Senate has voted for any budget submitted by President Obama. The Obama/Reid/Pelosi Socialist leadership has been running the federal government by continuing resolutions just adding to the previous year's spending by borrowing $4 Billion every day to fund all of their Socialist Schemes.\nIt has to stop. We must end this fiscal insanity that is bankrupting our country by winning the 2012 Election Trifecta when we elect Mitt Romney as our next President and gain complete Republican control of Congress. So while all responsible Americans should donate as much money as possible to make Mitt Romney our next President, we must also donate monies to support Congressional and Senate candidates in our respective states.

        "raw_content": "NCBF Money\nComing down hard to the real talk\nCash Loans in 1 Hour: Immediate Cash Advance for Very Bad Credit\nAlthough cash loans in 1 hour aren\u2019t designed for long-term borrowing, they\u2019re particularly useful for negotiating a short-term financial emergency. When you\u2019ve been rejected by the banks due to bad credit, an immediate cash advance with no credit checks offers a way to pay the bills.\nLoans with no credit check or guarantor are available from specialist cash until payday lenders. When you\u2019ve missed payments, credit scoring the applicant is sheer folly. Bad credit companies are more interested in verifying the applicant\u2019s identity and ensuring that the repayments are affordable to you. The rate of interest reflects the level of risk faced by the lender.\nImmediate Cash Advance with Bad Credit from a Pawnbroker\nEven if you\u2019re unemployed and claiming state benefits, you may be able to get a pawn shop loan. You\u2019ll need to provide the lender with collateral \u2013 gold, silver, art work, watches and diamonds can all be used to secure your advance. Take in your item of value to a local pawnbrokers and they\u2019ll assess its value.\nYou\u2019ll typically be able to get a fast cash loan with no credit checks for up to 50% of the items worth. This ensures that there is sufficient equity in the collateral to cover the interest that will accrue. They\u2019ll hand you your money in cash and will securely store the item of value away until you redeem it a month later.\nIf you don\u2019t clear the principal and interest that has accrued, a pawnbroker is quite within its rights to sell the item to recover its money. If you\u2019re experiencing difficulty repaying the debt, it\u2019s advisable to talk to them. It may be possible to extend the term of your quick cash advance by paying them the interest.\nFast Cash Loans in 1 Hour from Bad Credit Payday Companies\nProvided that you\u2019re a U.S. citizen, over 18-years-old and in full-time employment, you can get cash loans with no credit checks for up to $1,000. Even if you\u2019re unemployed, some payday companies will advance you up to $500, despite the fact that you have a very bad credit history.\nAlthough you may be able to extend the borrowing term in certain circumstances, most payday cash advances are for just a calendar month. It\u2019s generally advisable not to extend the term because interest accrues quickly. You\u2019ll normally find that you\u2019ll pay about $25 interest on every $100 that you borrow.\nNot all states allow lenders to offer cash until payday and others have placed restrictions on them. Although they aren\u2019t secured against collateral, defaulting on the loan isn\u2019t advisable. Interest and charges accrue quickly and accounts that are in a delinquent state will be passed to debt collection agencies.\nSmall Loans with No Credit Check or Guarantor: Are They a Good Idea?\nWhether cash loans in 1 hour are a sensible option depends largely on the reason that you\u2019re borrowing money and your ability to repay the debt. It\u2019s never a good idea to borrow money with bad credit to make frivolous purchases, especially if you lack the means to pay back the money you owe.\nAn immediate cash advance until payday is a means of meeting a short-term need and shouldn\u2019t be seen as a long-term solution to your financial difficulties. If you\u2019re finding it increasingly difficult to pay your bills each month, rather than taking out yet another loan, it\u2019s advisable to get free credit counseling.\nHow to Get a Loan Fast: Even Those With Bad Credit can Still Get Cash Fast\nLoan Modification Application Forms \u2013 Remember How to Complete Them Properly\nLow Interest Secured Loans Can Help Reduce Debt: How to Manage Debt with Home Equity Consolidation\nWhat to Look for When Choosing the Ideal Credit Card",

They were effectively renting, anyway, and I'd prefer to see our government staying away from the landlord business, with a goal of creating real value and ownership for people in their homes.\nThe stories that seem more awful are people who used their house as their primary means of savings. A retiring couple that put a huge amount of their net worth into a house, either by purchase or improvement. And I don't mean home-equity loans used for improvement. I mean, actual savings, spent in a declining market.\nI'm contemplating what it would mean to have the government provide \"savings insurance\" that would guarantee, say, 70% of the equity in a home when it was transferred from some liquid vehicle. 20 years of mortgage payments would qualify, as would a 30% downpayment that was lost in a declining market. Cash-out refi's? Excluded.\nI've not heard this proposal anywhere else, so I'm just writing it up to see if it holds water.\nMaybe someone can make a counterargument, because I think this plan seems pretty reasonable. Though I can't estimate the cost, it rewards the right things.

In March 2012, the site merged with the nonprofit Center for Investigative Reporting, which also ran the state news site California Watch. In 2013, CIR ceased The Bay Citizen as a brand, merging its work under the CIR banner.\nThe combined organization had a staff of 70 and a budget of $10.5 million in 2012. At the time of the merger, the Bay Citizen itself had a full-time staff of about 30.\nIts partnership with the University of California, Berkeley, drew concern that it would exploit college students for free labor, though that arrangement was later clarified to consist of paid internships as well as a joint \u201ctest kitchen\u201d for journalism innovation.\nThe Bay Citizen produced original content for The New York Times\u2019 twice-weekly Bay Area section from 2010 to 2012, when it ended its relationship with the Times shortly after it merged with CIR. Public radio station KQED had also initially been a founding partner, though it left the project before the site launched.\nThe Bay Citizen received $5 million in startup funding from investment banker Warren Hellman and had raised $3.7 million more by the time of its launch. Its primary revenue source initially is intended to be large donations (including $250,000 from the Knight Foundation), though it is planned to move toward a model based on memberships, advertising and syndication to other news organizations.\nIts leaders initially aimed to be self-sustaining and have an $8 million annual budget within four years.\nThe Bay Citizen offered other local sites the opportunity to post their full stories on its site for $25 each, along with occasional reporting assistance. The proposal was met largely with skepticism, though about 15 local news sites have become the Bay Citizen\u2019s \u201ccommunity partners.\u201d\nThe Bay Citizen\u2019s first CEO, Lisa Frazier, was paid $400,000 a year, a figure that has drew some concern from critics.\nIn 2011, it was awarded a joint grant with the Texas Tribune to build a open-source news CMS that would be designed to support both editorial flow and to take advantage of emerging revenue opportunities.\nAudio: KQED interview with some of the Bay Citizen\u2019s founding entities\nSF Appeal, Texas Tribune, San Francisco Chronicle, The New York Times\nSept. 28, 2016 / Ricardo Bilton\nCollaborate or die: A new initiative wants to make it easier for national and local outlets to work together \u2014 If you want an idea of what it\u2019s like to get news organizations to collaborate, try herding cats.

        "raw_content": "NOJDS Investments > Investment Ideas > Managing Holiday Price Swings\nAs the holiday season gets closer, many traders attempt to take advantage of something that has happened in the marketplaces in the past. Many fund managers, attempting to unload some of the weaker stocks (or other assets) in their portfolios, make mass sales, and this has historically driven prices down for some assets. Over the course of the last few decades, many people have observed this trend and have tried to take advantage of it in different ways. One way has involved buying these stocks at the discounted prices and waiting for them to bounce back up, and the other, more short term method, involves riding these falling prices by going short on the position and profiting as prices continue to drop.\nThis is a dangerous strategy to try and use on your own. Just because it is a method that some people have used successfully in the past does not mean that it is actually a valid way to make money. In fact, subsequent research on the \u201cJanuary Effect\u201d has shown that it isn\u2019t a universal phenomenon, doesn\u2019t happen every year, and when it does happen, the traders that profit from it generally do so because of dumb luck, and not actual trading skill.\nHowever, just because it\u2019s not something that you should be trying to predict and attempt to profit from doesn\u2019t mean that it can\u2019t hurt you. Market psychology is a powerful tool, and it can help you a ton, or it can hurt you a ton. This leads to a big problem because suddenly, you are unsure of how to proceed in your trading.\nThe answer isn\u2019t quite clear on what you should do to avoid this. One answer that some turn to is to pull their money out and wait until things are more predictable. This is a fine approach. Although you won\u2019t lose money, you can\u2019t make money either. This is a good risk-averse strategy, but certainly not ideal. Other traders just proceed as normal. This can have decent results, but it doesn\u2019t offer you the protection that you need if you want to stay profitable.\nA third approach is needed, one that takes the different trading climate into account. You need to acknowledge that there\u2019s a chance of higher risk at this time of the year and then make adjustments to compensate for this fact. Hopefully, your trading will not be affected, but if it is, you want to be able to control the damage. One easy method is to limit exposure. You can do this by minimizing the amount of time that your money is in an open trade, such as with short term binary options or day trading, or you can trade with less money in the same manner that you have before. You can also introduce tighter stop-loss points if you decide to use more traditional methods and have a broker that will allow you to do this. Your methods should complement your trading style and what will benefit you most.\nGeneral theory in this area says that the January Effect will have a bigger impact on small cap stocks and not affect large cap stocks as much. This makes a lot of sense because the higher volume of large cap stocks helps keep their prices stable. Luckily for binary traders, these are the stocks that are most easily accessible. For day traders in the stock market, yes, the small cap stocks are the ones that pose the most risk. However, by having up to date price quotes and the best trading technology possible, you will be able to keep a better eye on what is going on and manage your risk in real time effectively.",

It recently paid four years salary arrears of 320 nurses inherited from the previous government and absorbed all graduates of school of nursing in the state.

With absolute support of our members and prudent financial management, our set target of moving out of a two-bedroom rented apartment will soon become a reality. I am pleased to tell you that work is now nearing completion and by the grace of God, the Nurses House will be inaugurated by the end of first quarter of 2019.\u201d\nHe said that his administration also designed the association\u2019s strategic work plan to inspire ideas, uphold ethical values and enhance the knowledge and skills of members through training and retraining.\nThe chairman said the association organised the first scientific conference in Dutse, where members were trained on task shifting and task sharing.\nSource: NANNM",

        "raw_content": "Supreme Court Report - 1/22/2019\nJanuary Conference Report\nOn January 8, 2019, the Justices of the Supreme Court granted review in three cases:\n1. State v. Jones, CR-18-0370-PR. In State v. Jones, the Arizona Court of Appeals Division One affirmed the conviction of a medical marijuana cardholder for the possession of hash, or resin extracted from the cannabis plant. The Supreme Court accepted review to determine, among other questions, whether resin from the cannabis plant is subject to the immunity provisions of the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act. [Petition for Review]\n(Disclosure: Osborn Maledon attorneys are involved with this case.)\n2. Normandin v. Encanto Adventures, CV-18-0200-PR. In Normandin v. Encanto Adventures, the Arizona Court of Appeals Division One upheld the constitutionality of Arizona\u2019s recreational user statute, which limits a landowner\u2019s liability to gross negligence. The Supreme Court accepted review to decide whether the Arizona Constitution\u2019s anti-abrogation clause, Ariz. Const. art. XVIII, \u00a7 6, prohibits the legislature from granting a private business tort immunity from simple negligence claims when the business is acting as an agent of a public entity in managing public recreational land. [Petition for Review]\n3. Sherring v. ICA/City of Tucson, CV-18-0245-PR. In Sherring v. Industrial Commission of Arizona, the Arizona Court of Appeals Division Two held that when employment is conditioned on passing a physical examination, and an injury occurs to a prospective employee during the examination, the prospective employee is not entitled to workers\u2019 compensation. The Supreme Court accepted review to determine whether a potential employee who is required to attend a pre-employment physical arranged by and for the benefit of the employer is entitled to workers\u2019 compensation coverage if an injury occurs during the physical examination. [Petition for Review]\nFebruary 5, 2019: The Supreme Court will consider pending petitions for review and pending motions at their February conference.\nFebruary 7, 2019: The Supreme Court will hear oral argument in two cases: (1) Diaz v. Hon. Bernini/State/Tucson City Prosecutor, CR-18-0250-PR; and (2) State v. Anda, CR-18-0286-PR.\nFebruary 14, 2019: The Supreme Court will hear oral argument in two cases: (1) Sherring v. ICA/City of Tucson, CV-18-0245-PR; and (2) Normandin v. Encanto Adventures, CV-18-0200-PR.\nMarch 19, 2019: The Supreme Court will hear oral argument in State v. Jones, CR-18-0370-PR.\nAs previously announced, Justice John Pelander will retire from the Supreme Court on March 1, 2019. Chief Justice Scott Bales has authorized Justice Pelander to participate in the resolution of cases in which he previously participated as a member of the Court and to assist the Court on new cases and other matters as needed until June 30, 2019.",

        "raw_content": "100 Bible Verses about Prayer For Healing\nAnd the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.\nTo the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Blessed is the one who considers the poor! In the day of trouble the Lord delivers him; the Lord protects him and keeps him alive; he is called blessed in the land; you do not give him up to the will of his enemies. The Lord sustains him on his sickbed; in his illness you restore him to full health.\nProverbs 4:20-22 ESV / 19 helpful votes\nAfter this Job opened his mouth and cursed the day of his birth. And Job said: \u201cLet the day perish on which I was born, and the night that said, \u2018A man is conceived.\u2019 Let that day be darkness! May God above not seek it, nor light shine upon it. Let gloom and deep darkness claim it. Let clouds dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it. ...\nWhat is the Almighty, that we should serve him? And what profit do we get if we pray to him?\u2019\n\u201cTurn back, and say to Hezekiah the leader of my people, Thus says the Lord, the God of David your father: I have heard your prayer; I have seen your tears. Behold, I will heal you. On the third day you shall go up to the house of the Lord,\nThen I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with a rainbow over his head, and his face was like the sun, and his legs like pillars of fire.\nThen they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. He sent out his word and healed them, and delivered them from their destruction. Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man!\nOf David. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.\nAs for me, I said, \u201cO Lord, be gracious to me; heal me, for I have sinned against you!\u201d\nI have seen his ways, but I will heal him; I will lead him and restore comfort to him and his mourners, creating the fruit of the lips. Peace, peace, to the far and to the near,\u201d says the Lord, \u201cand I will heal him.\nI shall not die, but I shall live, and recount the deeds of the Lord.\nAnd I was told, \u201cYou must again prophesy about many peoples and nations and languages and kings.\u201d\nYou have condemned and murdered the righteous person. He does not resist you.\nIt happened that the father of Publius lay sick with fever and dysentery. And Paul visited him and prayed, and putting his hands on him healed him.\nAnd he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal.\nHere is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus. And I heard a voice from heaven saying, \u201cWrite this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.\u201d \u201cBlessed indeed,\u201d says the Spirit, \u201cthat they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them!\u201d Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and seated on the cloud one like a son of man, with a golden crown on his head, and a sharp sickle in his hand.",

        "raw_content": "Moon Express Unveils \u201cMX-1\u201d Commercial Lunar Lander\nCredit: Moon Express\nLAS VEGAS, NV, December 5, 2013 (Moon Express PR) \u2013 Moon Express, Inc., a privately funded lunar resources company, unveiled its \u201cMX-1\u201d lunar lander spacecraft today as a breakthrough robotic space vehicle capable of a multitude of applications including delivering scientific and commercial payloads to the Moon at a fraction of the cost of conventional approaches. The spacecraft design is being unveiled today at the closing session of Autodesk University in Las Vegas in front of an audience of over 10,000 attendees.\nThe MX-1 synthesizes proprietary robotic technologies, advanced micro-avionics, and a unique toroidal structure to produce a \u201cgreen\u201d robotic spacecraft that is powered by sunlight and uses hydrogen peroxide as rocket fuel. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is an oxygen enriched water compound commonly found in nature and biological systems. With the recent discovery of water on the Moon, the MX-1 has a potential source of rocket fuel on the lunar surface, a scenario that would be a game changer in the economics of lunar resources and solar system exploration.\n\u201cThe spacecraft rockets use a high test version of the consumer level hydrogen peroxide widely available in drug stores\u201d, said Tim Pickens, Chief Propulsion Engineer at Moon Express and former propulsion lead for SpaceShipOne. \u201cWe\u2019re developing three new rocket engines at our Propulsion Development and Test Facilities in Huntsville and benefiting greatly from new advances in digital 3D design and fabrication tools.\u201d\nThe main MX-1 rocket engine is a dual mode bi-propellant system that also uses kerosene as an after burner to give the spacecraft the punch to break out of Earth orbit, accelerate to faster than a bullet, travel a million miles to beyond the Moon, and come back to break to zero velocity using its outboard thrusters as it touches the lunar surface. The spacecraft is designed to ride to Earth orbit on low cost secondary payload opportunities aboard commercial launchers like the SpaceX Falcon 9 that are radically reducing the cost of access to space.\nAbout the size of a large coffee table, the MX-1 is a completely self-contained single stage spacecraft that can reach the surface of the Moon from a geosynchronous transfer orbit (GTO) commonly used to place communications satellites above the Earth. It is also designed to be a flexible spacecraft platform that can support a number of applications including serving as a flexible, agile upper stage for existing launch systems enabling Earth orbit cubesat deployment, satellite servicing, and \u201cspace tug\u201d applications such as cleaning up space debris.\n\u201cThe MX-1 is not just a lunar lander, it is a spacecraft workhorse with many markets,\u201d said Moon Express Co-founder & CEO Bob Richards. \u201cThe MX-1 is the \u2018iPhone of space\u2019; a platform capable of supporting many apps including our core plan of exploring the Moon for resources of benefit to humanity.\u201d\nMoon Express is introducing the MX-1 as the first of a series of robotic space vehicles based on a scalable patent pending design to operate in Earth orbit and deep space destinations. Moon Express will utilize the MX-1 in its maiden technology demonstrator flight in 2015, delivering a number of commercial and government payloads to the Moon and pursuing the $30M Google Lunar XPRIZE.\nMoon Express engineers have combined the latest exponential technologies in micro-avionics with advanced propulsion and materials to create an innovative approach to spacecraft design and fabrication, empowered by leading edge Autodesk digital design tools to help make the impossible possible and reach for the Moon.\nBob Richards, Google Lunar X Prize, moon, Moon Express\nGreat Discussion on Bloomberg TV About SpaceX, Commercial Space\nFour Student CubeSats to Launch on Atlas V",

        "raw_content": "Tag: Dnepr\nLaunch Delays Blessing in Disguise for GRACE-FO Mission\nGRACE-FO spacecraft (Credit: Airbus Defense and Space)\nA German-American science mission scheduled to launch this week is running nine months behind schedule due to issues with launch vehicles. However, the delays turned out to be a blessing in disguise for the project, according to a Government Accountability Office (GAO) assessment.\nThe twin Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment Follow-On (GRACE-FO) satellites are set to launch on Tuesday at 12:47:58 p.m. PDT (3:47:58 p.m. EDT; 1947:58 GMT) aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 booster from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. The launch will be webcast at www.nasa.gov and www.spacex.com.\nRussia to End Rockot Launches\nRockot launch vehicle\nThe end of the line is coming soon for Russia\u2019s Rockot (Rokot) launch vehicle.\nThe converted intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) has only two more missions on its manifest before the program ends. In the months ahead, it will launch Sentinel 5P and Sentinel 3B Earth observation satellites for ESA and the European Commission.\nThe Sentinel 5P launch is set for June. Tass reports the Sentinel 3B flight will likely occur late this year or early 2018.\nRockot is being phased out in favor of the newer Angara-1.2 and Soyuz-2.1v boosters, which are capable of launching lighter payloads.\nRockot is a converted SS-19 ICBM built by Khrunichev and operated by Eurockot Launch Services. Flights are conducted from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in Russia.\nThe three-stage booster is capable of lifting 1,950 kg (4,299 lb) in low Earth orbit (LEO) and 1,200 kilograms (2,646 lb) into sun synchronous orbit (SSO).\nRockot has launched 30 times, with 27 successes, two failures and one partial failure.\nThe retirement of Rockot ends Russia\u2019s second program that used in converted Soviet-era ICBMs as satellite launchers. In 2015, the country ended a joint program with Ukraine to convert SS-18 missiles into Denpr launch vehicles.\nDnepr was capable of lifting 4,500 kg (9,921 lb) to LEO and 2,300 kg (5,071 lb) to SSO.\nThe booster was launched 22 times, with 21 successes and one failure. The last flight was on March 25, 2015.\nDnepr launches were conducted out of Yasny in Russia and Baikonur in Kazakhstan.\nCOMSTAC Recommends Against Lifting Ban on Commercial ICBM Use\nA Minotaur V rocket carrying NASA\u2019s Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE) lifts off from at NASA\u2019s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia on Friday, Sept. 6, 2013. (Credit: NASA/Chris Perry)\nThe FAA Commercial Space Transportation Advisory Committee (COMSTAC) voted last week to recommend that the U.S. government maintain its ban on the use of excess ICBM motors for launching commercial satellites. The recommendation to the FAA is a non-binding one.\nIridium Delays Dnepr Launch, Moves Up Falcon 9 Flight\nIn another blow to Ukraine\u2019s struggling space sector, Iridium Communications has postponed plans to launch two Iridium Next satellites aboard a Dnepr launcher. Instead, Iridium will move up a scheduled launch of spacecraft aboard SpaceX\u2019s Falcon 9.\nSpace News reports the launch had been scheduled for April. However, the Russian Ministry of Defense has not yet issued the required licenses to launch the booster from Yasny spaceport.\nDnepr is a joint program between Ukraine and Russia under which decommissioned ballistic missiles are converted into satellite launches. Russia has been looking to phase out use of the booster in favor of domestic launchers amid political tensions with Ukraine.\nThe International Monetary Fund has estimated that Ukraine\u2019s space sector has lost up to 80 percent of its revenues as a result of canceled orders from Russia.\nThe first two Iridium Next spacecraft were to be launched aboard Dnepr so engineers could verify their design and operations. The company plans to launch 72 Iridium Next spacecraft by the end of 2017.\nIridium now plans to launch the first 10 satellites aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket whose flight has been moved up to July from August. A second Falcon 9 would launch an additional 10 spacecraft in October.\nThe Dnepr launcher could be used later in the Iridium Next deployment sequence if the required licenses are obtained.\nRussia Led in Launch Successes and Failures in 2015\nFlight VS13 was the 13th Soyuz liftoff performed from French Guiana since this vehicle\u2019s 2011 introduction at the Spaceport. (Credit: Arianespace)\nRussia continued its dominance of the global satellite launch industry in 2015, conducting 29 of 86 orbital launches over the past 12 months. It also maintained its lead in botched launches, suffering two failures and one partial failure.\nISC Kosmotras: Reports of Dnepr\u2019s Death Greatly Exaggerated\nMOSCOW (ISC Kosmotras PR) \u2014 This is to inform our current and potential customers that publications in the Russian press in February 2015 about the Dnepr Program suspension are not reflecting the reality. All ISC Kosmotras activities are on track to fulfill our contractual obligations.\nISC Kosmotras recognizes that such publications have caused many concerns and confusion but were unfortunately out of our control. We can only apologize for that.\nDnepr Launch Manifest for 2016-2017\n1st half of 2016: Dedicated launch of a group of satellites\n2nd half of 2016: Cluster launch of a group of satellites\n1st half of 2017: Cluster launch of a group of satellites\n5 August 2017: Dedicated launch of 2 GRACE Follow-On satellites\n2nd half of 2017 \u2013 1st half of 2018: Dedicated launch of a group of satellites\nRussia Looks to Phase Out Rockot Launch Vehicle\nIt looks like we can add Rockot to the list of satellite launch vehicles that the Russians will be phasing out.\nRussian media are reporting that the converted ballistic missile will be replaced by Angara and Soyuz-2.1v launch vehicles, which have had their initial flight tests over the past 14 months.\nIn addition to the availability of alternatives, there\u2019s another reason for phasing out the Rockot: it depends upon components from Ukraine, with whom Russia is in conflict.\nMedia reports say that nation has banned export of Rockot parts in retaliation for the Russian annexation of Crimea and its support for rebel forces in eastern Ukraine.\nUkraine Space Industry on Verge of Collapse\nThe first stage of Orbital Sciences Corporation\u2019s Antares rocket is shipped out from Yuzhnoye design bureau in Ukraine. (Credt: Yuzhnoye)\nI was just looking at the website for Yuzhmash, which is Ukraine\u2019s principle producer of launch vehicles. I ran across the following letter to employees published on Oct. 10. It includes this rather prediction:\n\u201cPivdenmash [Yuzhmash] is in deep financial crisis, the main factor which is a precipitous decline in production. The current crisis is not irreversible, but the situation is close to the point of no return.\n\u201cThe actual bankruptcy of the enterprise will result in the loss of Ukraine\u2019s status as a space power, failure of the obligations of the State to enter into international agreements, irreversible loss of proven technologies.\u201d\nThis was four months ago. And by all accounts, matters have only gotten worse. The fighting eastern Ukraine has intensified. The government\u2019s finances haven\u2019t improved. And employees were given two-month unpaid leaves in late January. That came after many months of 3-day work weeks and partial pay.\nUkrainian Space Workers Rally for Back Pay\nInterfax-Ukraine reports that workers at the A.M. Makarov Southern Machine-Building Plant (PA Yuzhmash) in Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine held a rally to protest the lack of pay and work.\nThe workers build Zenit and Cyclone-4 boosters as well as the first stage of Orbital Sciences Corporation\u2019s Antares launch vehicle and the fourth stage for Europe\u2019s Vega rocket. They are also involved in Dnepr, a decommissioned ballistic missile that has been converted into a satellite launcher.\nThe report indicates that since last July, employees have been working only three days per week and are pay $200 to $300 only once or twice per month. There\u2019s also been a lack of new orders for their products.\nThe company owes about $150 million in back salaries and other payments, according to the story.\nRussian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, whose country is responsible for much of Ukraine\u2019s misery, Tweeted the following:",

        "raw_content": "During February 16-19, Barcelona again has become the \u201ccapital\u201d for the whole mobile industry with the Mobile World Congress taking place. Despite the global economic crisis and declining mobile phone sales (for the first time ever since 2001), the mobile industry expects global growth due to new devices and services. This optimistic outlook is also proven by the sales figures of smart phones. In 2008 almost 160 million smart phones were sold worldwide. This year as much as 190 million smart phones could be sold.\nA survey by analyst Nielsen and Tellabs, based on more than 50,000 mobile users in the UK, France, Italy, Germany, Spain and the US, shows that there will be an dramatic increase in the use of mobile data services (such as mobile internet, email, photo uploading and MMS) over the next two years with a significant ramp up in the next 12 months. 71 per cent of consumers anticipate the daily usage of services such as mobile internet and more than half of the approximately 200 million mobile data users in those countries expect to increase use in the next two years.\nAccording to the study, about 49% of US respondents said they were planning to surf the mobile web more in the next year, compared to 34% of those in Europe. Preferences of US and Europe users differ (see the following picture below). In Europe, Italy tends to be the leading adopter across all services, while Germany shows comparatively low adoption rates.\n(Source: http://www.tellabs.com/news/2009/index.cfm/nr/53.cfm)\nI know that these are \u201conly\u201d statistical data. But I am convinced that the mobile internet has finally arrived and will be more and more integrated in our daily life in the future.There are tons of new devices available, all with web browsers and web access built in - starting with the Apple iPhone, Google\u2019s G1 Android phone, basically any other new smart phone, but also gaming consoles such as the Nintendo DSi and even digital photo cameras such as Sony\u2019s DSC-G3.\nNowadays there are plenty of opportunities to provide new or advanced services to mobile phone users. You can even provide your service through many of the existing and emerging App Stores, which solves a major issue that existed for mobile application developers until today. Apple has paved the way and many companies like RIM/BlackBerry, Microsoft and Nokia are following with their own App Stores.\nI admit that there are still a lot of challenges, such as confusing mobile phone plans, unclear and high costs for data usage especially while roaming abroad or speed and quality of mobile networks. The potential of the mobile web will not be fully realized until users are able to access data where and when they want - ubiquitously and painless.\nPat Dolan, VP and general manager, EMEA, at Tellabs, and Jeff Hermann, VP mobile media at Nielsen Online, also mentioned another quiet important point in their study mentioned above:\nDolan said: \u201cPeople are willing to spend more on mobile data services. [\u2026] This largely stems from whether end-users view data services as a convenience or as a source of entertainment\u201d, Hermann explained. \u201dConvenience really drives a lot of usage of certain types of services. If something is viewed as a utility, consumers are willing to pay for it,\u201d he said. \u201cWhereas entertainment, that\u2019s more of a discretionary spend. While entertainment-based services need more time to develop, usefulness is what drives adoption\u201d.\nDolan also mentioned: \u201cUsefulness also proves sticky. Once people start using these services, they can\u2019t do without them, and that will continue to snowball\u201d.\nAll in all we\u2019re looking at a bright future in mobile web and we as PavingWays hope to start providing services of our own very soon.\nSources: http://www.totaltele.com/view.aspx?ID=443259)\nhttp://www.telecoms.com/itmgcontent/tcoms/news/articles/20017619024.html\nhttp://www.ftd.de/technik/it_telekommunikation/:HANDY-MESSE-GESAMT-ROUNDUP-Mobilfunk-Branche-zuversichtlich-trotz-Krise/475215.html\nFeb 17th, 2009 Mobile Trends, Mobile Web, News, Statistics\n\u00ab Mobile Devices Market & Mobile Messaging Adaption Upcoming Mobile Events in 2009 \u00bb",

        "raw_content": "A similar disguise might be used for altering the number of hands you play. For example, if you play one hand and lose, continue to play only one hand whether or not the pack is favorable. If you play one hand and win, then play two hands on the following round - if the count is favorable.\nYou can increase your bet size against a fresh shuffle without attracting adverse attention. You might consider doing so if you have been playing two hands and winning. Suppose you have been winning with two hands of $200 each. If you think that cutting back to one hand of $200 when the dealer shuffles will look bad, you might switch to one hand of $300. You now have only $300 on the table instead of $400, but the dealer and pit boss may think that you are increasing your bet size.\nTo get more money on the table, you can double up after a loss, or let a winning bet ride. If you really want to look unlike a card counter, play two hands of unequal bet size.\nIf the pit bosses think that they know why you do what you do, and if they think that what you are doing does not involve getting an edge over the casino, then you can play indefinitely. Read Ian Andersen's Turning the Tables on Las Vegas and Burning the Tables in Las Vegas for excellent discussions of playing without getting barred.\nIn one sense, it would be absurd to claim that playing poker for money is anything other than gambling. Unlike chess or even checkers, which can be played at the highest levels without a single dollar being risked, poker without money is an empty pursuit. If your opponent isn't risking something by remaining in a hand, he has very little incentive to play correctly and throw away a hand whose chances of improving enough to win are slight. Although it is possible to learn a few extremely basic poker lessons in free games, you're more likely to pick up bad habits in such games.",

San Francisco, for one, seems to have one of the best weather all year round, with everything being mild. Their summers aren\u2019t too warm and dry and their winters, albeit cold, aren\u2019t extreme in some places. San Francisco is also home to Silicon Valley where much of the information technology organizations are based in addition to venture capitalists that have become incubators for a number of the start up technology companies.

The town, famous for its liberal stance on several issues, such as gay rights, is a hodgepodge of people with various ideas; all desiring for acceptance and tolerance that has made the town a type of sanctuary for liberalism.\nChula Vista is another wonderful place to live. It is warm during the days and cool in the evenings. This place is well known for its great food, relatively low crime rate, and its coastal yet friendly attitude. One caveats however is that this town has among the strictest policies on Driving under the Influence. The truth is you will find technical DUI attorneys in Chula Vista whose job it is to keep people from becoming convicted by a DUI citation and arrest. The cause of this strict regulation is that it makes the city less likely to DUI related episodes. And possibly because it borders Chula Vista, the requirement for maintaining vacationing college kids in check after their time in Chula Vista is needed.\nDUI attorneys make it a point to serve their customers well, particularly out of town customers, so that they might not get convicted by a DUI arrest. Chula vista immigration attorney is the place to go due to Hollywood and theme parks. Disney Land, Magic Mountain, Universal Studios are just some of the attractions located in the Los Angeles County. Additionally it is known as tinsel town due to the amount of movie studios which are based there. A good deal of actors and actresses are located there or otherwise, has secondary houses there also.

        "raw_content": "Argentine-Armenian community remembered the Sumgait pogrom in front of the Azeri Embassy\n(Agencia Prensa Armenia).- On the night of February 26, the Argentine-Armenian community rallied to the Azeri Embassy of Buenos Aires to mark the 26th anniversary of the Sumgait pogrom. The protest, which involved over 200 people, was organized by the Armenian Youth Federation and was widely covered by the national media, including radio, newspapers and television. With a disproportionate number of policemen, over 300 people attended the rally.\n\"This embassy, according to their own authorities, moved to Buenos Aires to battle against the local Armenian community. It allocates great resources for seduction and cooptation of journalists, officials and academics. With promises of investments that never materialize and their own versions of history, they are trying to spread their propaganda in a region that has always supported the Armenian people and its diaspora\", said Lic. Florencia Zanikian, member of the organization in her speech. \"Scholars such as Paulo Botta, communicators like Diego Velazquez and politicians like Roberto Mouilleron are some of the visible faces of the strategy of this embassy\", charged Zanikian.\n\"In Argentina we have experienced horrific events during the military dictatorship that began in 1976. In the last decade we have advanced \u200b\u200bin the trials of those responsible, with memory, truth and justice as our pillars. While there are some who argue that looking at the past is to rub salt into the wound, for us is the way to start overcoming, to advance as a society. The Sumgait pogrom, like the 1915 genocide, not only remains unpunished, but also the Republic of Azerbaijan, like Turkey, denies it as a as a way of perpetuating the crime\", she added.\nThere was another protest two days before, when a group of young Argentine-Armenians tried to deliver a letter to Azeri diplomats, who were conducting a seminar entitled \u201cThe resolution of the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan and its implications for the region.\u201d After the peaceful protest, the Azeri Foreign Ministry and the government controlled media tried to distort the purpose of the rally, saying that Armenians \"tried to prevent the conduction of the event\". Azeri diplomats tried to do a similar media operation last year. The letter even said: \"In Argentina governs the rule of law since 1983 and unlike what happens in Azerbaijan, it is possible to freely express. This applies both for your lectures and for those who repudiate the contents of them\".",

        "raw_content": "Why relationships are crucial to your health and happiness\nThe number of people who say they have no one with whom to discuss important matters has nearly tripled in the past 30 years. This is troubling because having good connections with others provides a whole host of health and wellness benefits.\nClose relationships give us the opportunity to love and be loved; they can be a source of fun, and laughter is a great stress reliever; and relationships influence our emotional well-being and development.\nOne of the best ways to build stronger connections with others is a technique called Active Constructive Responding. How we respond to a person\u2019s good news is as important for the health of the relationship as how you respond to bad news.\nResponding in an active and constructive way means we help the sharer of the good news relive it by showing authentic interest and asking questions. This style actually benefits both the sharer and the responder because it generates positive emotions; as a result, both people walk away from the conversation feeling better.\nActive constructive responding takes just a minute or two, but the relationship payoff is huge. If we support other people when they share good news with us, they\u2019ll be more likely to come to us with bad news because we\u2019ve built up a bank of trust.\nSource material from U.S. News",

        "raw_content": "Home > Scene > How do I get a job after college?\nHow do I get a job after college?\nBy Jenny Connell on March 31, 2010\nThe school year is winding down, which means seniors and juniors are on the hunt for jobs and internships. Seniors are biting their nails trying to find a job after graduation, while juniors are sending out r\u00e9sum\u00e9s for anyone accepting interns.\nTo ease the stress of the search, Associate Director of Alumni and Parent Relations Austin Ashe planned an evening of discussion between alumni and students, which was held on Tuesday, March 23. The \u201cAlumni Table-Talk\u201d event for communications students was a roundtable event where students could get worries and questions off their chest about everything from interning woes to career choices.\nAshe invited five alumni from various fields to answer the 15 or so anxious students ready to ask the tough questions. Each alumnus stated his or her lengthy rap sheet of internships and jobs to a room of very interested students.\n\u201cDo not expect to stay at one job,\u201d Jocelyne Hudson-Brown \u201905 said.\nThe conversation quickly transformed from a structure of questions Ashe had organized into a free-for-all of advice from each alumnus.\n\u201cLet\u2019s face it: You\u2019ll never have your dream job right out of school,\u201d Jamie McCarty \u201904 said. \u201cBut, if you have a job within your field, you\u2019ll network. I set goals daily, monthly and yearly. Just be mindful to work your way up.\u201d\nGlenn Giangrande \u201903 agreed.\n\u201cPut your head down and focus for the first couple of years,\u201d he said. \u201cBut, keep the big picture in mind.\u201d\nRaymond Hernandez \u201804, who works as a communications specialist for Pratt & Whitney, also warned students about what to expect when taking their first jobs.\n\u201cA job is a job sometimes. You\u2019re probably going to be working for something you\u2019ve never heard of at some point in your career,\u201d Hernandez said.\n\u201cSomeone told me I need \u2018KASH\u2019 and I didn\u2019t know what he meant until they explained it to me. \u2018K\u2019 is for knowledge; know what is going on in the industry. \u2018A\u2019 is for attitude; love what you do in your internship even if it\u2019s not the best tasks. \u2018S\u2019 is skills; have traits that you need, and remember that you don\u2019t know it all. \u2018H\u2019 is for hard work; you need a bit of luck, but if you put in the hard work you won\u2019t be overlooked.\u201d\nSenior public relations major Jessica Hickernell said the event was beneficial to her job search.\n\u201cI think that it was great that the panel discussed the hardships of establishing a successful career because I think that many students have an idealistic view of what life after college will be and it isn\u2019t usually the way they envision it,\u201d she said.\nThe overall theme of the night was that as communications students graduate in the next couple of years, they should be aware that the real work has yet to come.\nAbout Jenny Connell\niGrad - Resources for life after college\nThis round-table event is a great idea and something that should be taking place at every school!\nI always say: find a job in a field that you are passionate about, even though this job may not pay as much as a job in another field that you may also be qualified for. Eventually, this passion will show and will elevate you to a higher potential than what you could achieve in a different field (not to mention that it will make life more enjoyable).",

        "raw_content": "\u00ab Backpacking through southern Peru\nThe magic of Huayna Potosi (6088m) \u00bb\n19 Sep 2012 | Activities \u00b7 Bolivia \u00b7 Featured \u00b7 South America\nCamino de la Muerte (\"The Death Road\") is a notorious transportation route in the of Yungas region, going from La Paz (Bolivia\u2019s capital) to the town of Coroico. This 61-kilometer long stretch initially rises up to La Cumbre pass at a height of about 4650 meters above sea level, then it gradually lowers to finish at the altitude of barely 1200 meters. Most of the trail is a narrow road through mountainous terrain, often just inches away from breath-taking precipices. Surely it is a dangerous road, but on the other side, it is accompanied by stunning and various landscape. The harsh and rigid climate of the Altiplano highlands gradually turns into an increasingly dense, hot and humid tropical forest.\nEvery year many people die in accidents. The greatest catastrophe took place on July 24, 1983, when an overloaded bus lost control on a turn and fell over the edge into a several hundred meters deep abyss. More than 100 passengers died. No one survived. This is the worst accident in Bolivia\u2019s history. In 1994, there were 26 cars falling over the edge \u2013 an average of one every two weeks. The last few years, after the construction of an alternative, bypassing road, many people still use this traditional crossing. Thus, nowadays the road\u2019s death toll are local coca farmers, soldiers, inhabitants of nearby villages and. .. adrenalin-thirsty, unlucky travelers riding bikes. It is assumed that over the last few years as many as 30 bikers, including three Bolivian guides, died while riding downhill the road. Just as in many other aspects of life, it is often not the lack of skills, but venturesome boldness that calls for adversity.\nThe expression world\u2019s most dangerous road rings a bell. As I approach western Bolivia, I hear about it increasingly more often. Finally, a few inspiring talks with other travelers make me put the popular Camino de la Muerte on the top of my priority list. Before we start, I promise myself that I would be very careful. As soon as I sit on my Iron Horse Maverick hardtail with hydraulic brakes, I know that it will be hard to say \u2018no\u2019 to going fast. There are around twelve people in our group. Shortly after the start, I realize a few of these have a tendency to ride too fast. It is also me (I already forgot about a heavy backpack with a big camera on my back). Speed, adrenalin, jumping and turning fast on sharp corners prevail over being reasonable. It\u2019s an amazing experience, the road tends to be as narrow as 3.2 meters with precipices reaching 600 meters, some of these being a vertical wall. There are no safety barriers or security warnings whatsoever. The rule of right-hand traffic is also lifted. Coming from the top you must always keep to the outer (the dangerous one) side of the road. Being utterly focused and trustful is essential.\nThe landscape is changing together with decreasing altitude, so is the weather in course of these few hours. At times it is sunny, rainy, foggy, cloudy, then sunny again and so on. We pass a few specific points, cross deep pools, pass San Juan waterfall, see the notorious and most dangerous turn and many terrifying precipices. Hold on.. \u201cterrifying\u201d, or simply \"interesting and stunning\"? Probably the latter. We stop for a couple of breaks, take some pictures and in general, keep progressing downhill.\nIs this road really that dangerous? The statistics suggest that it is true \u2013 and this is probably an argument sufficient enough to believe so. However, for a rider with some past biking experience it can be quite a nice ride. Myself, I have many times ridden a bicycle in the areas requiring more technical skills, so probably for those really into biking the road is plain sailing.\nThe major risk factor rises when, for example, your attention is distracted by the green valley below for a short while and at this unlucky time a huge truck might come right in front to surprise you. The brakes of those rental bikes are used daily by hundreds of different tourists and I presume, they are usually not serviced daily. You are better off with working breaks ahead any of these sharp turns. Also, innocent jokes and fooling around with a friend next to you can result in one of you having a free fall into the abyss.\nTo sum it up, I definitely recommend giving it a try. To be more specific, just visit the agency El Solario in La Paz and they will fix everything for your for about \u20ac35. I survived and even got a souvenir T-shirt!\nEarly afternoon we reach Yolosa village (1200m). It is perfect timing to relax and enjoy, as promised by the agency, an all-you-can-eat buffet. Filled to our heart\u2019s content, me and Priscilla, which whom I am traveling now, leave the group and take a bus going to the town of Coroico. It turns out to be a pleasant town, so since we\u2019re here, we decide to stay overnight. As the evening comes, we sit down on the main square, talk with people, enjoy a cold beer and gaze at a group of Argentinian girls playing drums and making improvised performance with long ribbons. We reflect the adventures of the day and there is one more thought coming to my mind. It is now stronger than ever. \u201cI will try to return as soon as possible to a height of about 4000 meters, in order not to lose the acclimatization. It is a dream of climbing Huayna Potosi, my first six-thousand meter summit.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "My grief has changed me as a person and therapist. I don't know your suffering but I know suffering. I don't know the way out of your pain but I know there is a way out. I don't know what the next moment holds for any of us but I do know it can be meaningful.I also know that when we can really listen to our whole emotional, physical, spiritual body that we can find peace. I see my role as a therapist as the guide to helping you discover your own internal map and compass through your own journey to increased joy and peace.\nAbout ten years ago my husband and I began to start a family. In happy hopes after quickly getting pregnant we were almost as quickly disappointed with multiple early losses. Little did we know at the time that we were beginning a journey wrought with loss and suffering.\nAfter a year we were pregnant again and we excited that the third time was the charm. The first trimester went smoothly and then in to the second. There were some tests during the second trimester that indicated that there may be issues but everything seemed fine. Then one day in late fall, I was walking in the woods and I knew something was wrong. I had stopped feeling movement and thought that maybe I was being paranoid. I made an appointment and went in for a \"feel good\" check up and we received the most earth shattering news - at 33 weeks our baby girl had died in utero. She was stillborn in 2010. I was not prepared that starting a family with all of the dreams and excitement meant also opening my heart up to the most profound loss and pain one might bear on this earth...the loss of a child.\nAt times I told myself that I did not have to do anything but breathe, and at times could not tolerate that the only way through the experience was through the pain. The pain was lonely, no one could do it for me even with tons and tons of family, friends, and community support. Grief is lonely, hard work but I am here to say that it is possible. Sometimes I just danced, or cried, or hid in my covers. Sometimes I could hang out and other times I couldn't. Sometimes I could be around kids, sometimes I couldn't. I never really knew when I was going to be able to \"function\" and when I wasn't but through Nia, therapy, friends, and time it has all shifted.\nIt is possible to survive the worst experiences and still experience moments of joy in the rest of our lives. My husband and I now have two healthy daughters that were born after our first, I think I hold them a little more tightly than most.\nMy Story of Trauma, Loss, and Grief\nI have a Master's degree in Industrial/Organizational Psychology, a Master's Degree in Mental Health Counseling, training in body-based psychotherapy with an emphasis in trauma providing counseling services for over 8 years in private practice. I have been teaching Nia, a mindful fitness practice, for over ten years. I have worked in crisis, college counseling centers, as well as private practice. All of these experiences influence my approach in developing relationships with clients and helping clients achieve their goals.",

        "raw_content": "Removals and Storage \u203a Blog \u203a Thinking about Moving? A 4 Point Guide on How to Decide on a New Property\nAlmost all of us, at some point in our lives, will need to move house. Whether it be for university, for a new job, because you\u2019ve started a family, or upgrading the size of your home because your family just keeps getting bigger \u2013 whatever your reason for moving, choosing a new home can be a hard and stressful task. First you have to find your dream home and then you have to come up with a security or mortgage deposit before anyone other potential suitors do. All in all, moving can be one of the most mentally stressful things a person can go through. But, if you have in your mind a clear idea of what you want from a home, then it need not be hard, nor stressful. When looking for a new home, consider these 4 points. 1) What is the motivation for leaving your old residence? If you are moving out of the nest in to the big, wide world then, for most of us, the main aspect we look for in a home is price. As house prices and rent continues to rise, finding an affordable home at a young age can be increasingly hard. The best advice anyone could give to you in finding your first home is to live in an area with the cheapest house prices around. Now, these areas may not be the nicer, nor the houses in them, but these areas are where you\u2019ll find affordable housing. Remember, rent is just one of the many fees you\u2019ll have to pay when you first move out: there\u2019s council tax, bills and food to pay for. If, however, you are moving for a new job \u2013 a job that pays you more \u2013 then it might be time to treat yourself with a nice house in a nice area. 2) Are you moving because you are expecting new arrivals? A common reason for moving home is because you are planning to start a new family, or you know that you have a youngster on the way. Most people feel the need to move because there is not enough space in their new home. So if you\u2019re moving because of a new arrival, then it\u2019s somewhat pointless to move in to a similar size home. You\u2019ll to move into a home that will be big enough to size your new nipper as it grows. If you\u2019re planning on having more than one mini you, then be sure to buy, or rent, a house with that in mind. You also have to consider their education: be sure to research the schools of the potential areas you want to move into. 3) Come up with a budget and stick to it. But don\u2019t just pull it out of the air; make a budget on a careful calculation on how much disposable cash you will have each month. Many people will set themselves a strict budget, but when they see their dream home which costs a couple grand more, they\u2019ll adjust their budget in order to get that beautiful bit of property. Don\u2019t do this. Your budget is what it is what for a reason. Now, obviously, if you see a house that is only a couple of hundred pounds over your budget, then by all means go over your budget. Just don\u2019t spend money you don\u2019t have on the accounts that you\u2019ve fallen in love. 4) If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. And find out why it is. Estate agents, by law, have to tell you any outstanding detail of why a house might seem exceedingly cheap.",

        "raw_content": "Treatment to Eliminate Warts If you have a wart on your foot, it is best to treat it before it spreads. Watch this video to find out how warts are treated.\nYes, warts are contagious. These unsightly growths are typically harmless and will ultimately go away on their own, but they can easily be passed along from person to person. There are a couple of ways in which this happens and it is important to know them so you can stay wart-free or prevent infecting someone else.\nWarts are caused by a virus known as human papillomavirus (HPV) and can be contracted when certain strains of HPV enter your body. Given that viruses are microscopic organisms, it only takes a tiny cut, scrape, or abrasion to provide an entrance. In addition to contracting HPV directly\u2014often in warm, damp environments\u2014touching someone else\u2019s wart can cause one to form on your own body.\nAs we said, these viral growths will go away in time, but keep in mind that this might take up to a couple of years. If you have one and would like to remove the wart in a safe manner by a skilled professional, then contact Richardson Podiatry Associates today.

        "raw_content": "John the Baptist laid the foundation\nEven before Jesus' ministry was officially announced, John the Baptist set the foundation for the Gospel of Jesus in Luke 3 as he spoke to the crowds that were coming out to see and hear him.\nFrom this passage of Scripture, we see the outlining of the specifics of this Gospel in the following manner:\nhe preached a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins (v. 3).\nhe preached of producing good fruit in keeping with repentance (v. 8-9).\nhe preached that good fruit would look like this: generosity! (v. 10-14).\nThe Generosity Gospel, not the Prosperity Gospel\nFirst, John told the crowds to share their wealth of clothing and food. If you have two articles of clothing and someone else has no clothes, then give them one of yours. If you have food and someone else has none, then share your food (v. 11).\nSecond, he told the tax collectors not to collect more from people than what Roman law required them to collect (v. 12-13).\nThird, he told the Roman soldiers three things in verse 14:\ndon't extort money.\ndon't accuse people falsely.\nbe content with your pay.\nSo, how do we as Rich Christians apply the teachings of John the Baptist:\nGive back generously to others. If you see people hurting financially, you demonstrate the love of God and true repentance through helping others with your material possessions.\nDon't Steal. If people owe you money, ask for what is owed you, not what you think you can get out of others. This application could be applied in a business setting. Establish a fair and equitable charge for the time and talent you bring to your service.\nDon't use extortion or illegal methods to obtain money that is not truly owed to you. I doubt this a problem for most of us. Again, the application would most likely be useful in the arena of business.\nDon't lie. Always tell the truth in money matters. Maintain integrity in your finances.\nBe content. Display satisfaction with God's material blessings in your life.\nSo, how are you doing in each of these five areas of generosity and financial responsibility?\nShirley R. April 20, 2010 at 4:20 PM\nI believe this is a very good reminder to Christians and a lot of churches today. Sometimes we fall into this 'spell' where we merely focus on ourselves and we forget that Jesus wants us to use generosity and love to reach the lost of all the nations. I am aware that this is one of Satan's most powerful tools to distract us from God's purposes.\nThanks for this post. I am glad I stopped into read it.",

        "raw_content": "Photo by Temari 09\nThe Meaning of \"Sacred\"\nWhat do think of when you hear or read the word \"sacred?\" Do you have some kind of mystical, special place in mind? Maybe you think of your own church building or perhaps places like the town of Bethlehem, Nazareth, or Jerusalem?\nThe definition of the word sacred is holy; entitled to reverence; consecrated to God. Any object (such as the Tabernacle, Temple, or altar) or any person (such as a priest, missionary, or pastor) that has been set apart for service to God would be considered sacred.\nThe Life of a Believer Is Sacred\nAs a believer in Christ, have you ever considered that your very life is sacred? At the point of your salvation, God called you to be part of His family through the death, burial, and resurrection of His own Son, Jesus Christ. Even if you are just a \"lay person\" in a church, your life is just as sacred and set apart for ministry as the pastor or other staff members of your church. Your role in the body of Christ just looks different from their role.\nIn 1 Peter 2:9-10 we read,\nBecause God has set us apart as His own special possession, He has called us to holy living. He wants us to live sacred, set-apart lives from that of the world:\nHe has saved us and called us to a holy life\u2014not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, (2 Timothy 1:9)\nBut just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: \u201cBe holy, because I am holy.\u201d (1 Peter 1:15-16)\nSo, How Do We Live Out a Sacred Life?\nFor the believer, God's Word is the roadmap for us as we strive to live out a sacred, holy life. In order to be more life Jesus, we must immerse ourselves in the Word and prayer on a consistent, daily basis. We know this to be true, but so few believers actually do it!\nSome days are going to be better than others as we strive to live a life pleasing to God. On one day, we will be living out a sacred, holy life through the power of the Holy Spirit; and on the next day, we will be struggling with the fleshly nature. Even the great Apostle Paul had the exact same struggles that we have. In Romans 7:18b-25 we read Paul's lament on his struggle with the flesh:\n\u2026 For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do\u2014this I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.\nSo I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God\u2019s law; but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God\u2019s law, but in my sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.\nThere is no magic wand we can wave, no secret formula we can drink in order to stay living in the Spirit versus living in the flesh. It is a process of daily humbling ourselves and submitting to God's control of our lives through the power of the Holy Spirit. And, when we fall down, we immediately have an attitude of repentance, ask the Lord to forgive us, dust ourselves, and get up again, heading in the direction of Jesus.",

Before that, I attended Keyano College for Visual Arts and Design and have previously lived in the Municipality of Wood Buffalo for about five years.\nAs someone who has lived in Fort McMurray for a large chunk of their adult life, this place has come to manifest its meaning in a variety of ways to me and my family. In my youth, Fort McMurray divorced me from my Torontonian roots; I had to shake off a hardened, sardonic sense of humour and false sense of pride to deal with some uncomfortable (but necessary) truths. Fort McMurray was where I learned that I did not want a career in science and was giving into familial pressures in doing so. It has provided my parents with opportunity and bestowed privileges upon me that I could not have obtained otherwise.\nMost importantly, Fort McMurray has strengthened my sense of community in meeting the important people who continue to support, cherish, and mentor me to this day. Nothing says \u201cI see you\u201d like than an instructor sitting you down and really listening to who you are the way my Keyano instructors did. Nothing says \u201cI love you\u201d more than a mother\u2019s hands busy at work to provide for her children the way that my mom does. These gifts are what Fort McMurray has given to me and it is time for me to give back. I strive to do so with my time, art, and voice. I believe that the Wood Buffalo Artist in Residency program will be a great foundation to the emergence of my artistic career and the perfect segue into a life of rich community involvement.\nRuddy Tuneeko\nMy name is Rudolph \"Ruddy\" Tuneeko and I was born and raised in Namibia in Africa. I lost my mother at eight years old. My life became so empty without her beside me but my aunt stepped up to raise me. At the age of 10, I discovered that I could draw. I enjoyed drawing pictures of people that often mirrored my thought process as a child.\nMy passion for people, life and community was reflected in my drawings. With the support of some families and friends I went to the Franco-Namibian Cultural Centre art school from 2002-04 under Max Shiimi. I studied arts there for three years and earned an art diploma. My father encouraged me to keep the gift that God has given me. It is mine and no one can take it away from me. My childhood experience made me want to share something of value to the children, so I decided to raise funds for children by becoming a volunteer art teacher myself. I was also commissioned to do a book cover illustration about culture entitled \u201cOuwa Wombazu\u201d which means Beauty of Culture under late Tjipoo Mate.\nMy unique approach to art include sculpting and recycling, using paper m\u00e2ch\u00e9, mix media art with spray paints and cardboard printing.\nLuke Maddaford is an interdisciplinary Canadian artist. He has received a Visual Art and Design Diploma from Keyano College, and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Drawing from the Alberta College of Art + Design.\nLuke has worked in galleries around Alberta, and shown throughout Canada. He currently resides in Windsor, ON, where he is a Master of Fine Arts candidate and a Graduate Assistant in the School of Creative Arts at the University of Windsor.\nArtist, welder and welder inspector and daughter of a carpenter and poet, I am known for experimenting with one of the most beautiful materials on earth: Metal. Some of my art is currently expressed in conjunction with our community youth. \u201cThe Recycled P-Arts: A Community and Industry Art Project\u201d was with high school welding students, teaching welding techniques, offering advice on how to use metals with composition and design collaboration.\nThe interest lies in using traditional principles/techniques with an unbiased group. Another current work \u201cA Thousand Words Project\u201d uses film photography with the now digitalized youth. Developing and enlarging in my darkroom, I put a hands on approach through the lenses of our community children/youth.\nWorking with our youth opens our eyes to where our art and culture is leading in our community. Currently we have many youth using graffiti to express themselves. Using words in a traditional art sense is a challenging to achieve. I believe through palindromes, ambigrams and concrete poetry, our youth can see other ways to express their arts and see there are many avenues to approaching how to express themselves.\n\u201cCreativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes, Art is knowing which ones to keep.\u201d \u2014 Scott Adams",

        "raw_content": "After witnessing numerous undergraduates and graduate students, as well as professionals stumble in rudimentary tasks particular to their field, I realized basic fundamentals that are paramount, are not always learned. To counter this, I have developed a student-centered pedagogy focusing on active learning through a repetition of lectures, critical thinking exercises, reading assignments and creative projects. This method has been successful in teaching complicated technical and abstract problems, especially to those not predisposed to such ideas. On the first day of class I start building a rapport with students. Humor and a relaxed but structured introduction help set a positive tone for the semester. Such an environment facilitates discussion, encourages students to ask questions, and fosters productive critiques. By assigning group projects at the start of a semester, students have a chance to get comfortable with the class, their fellow classmates and the subject matter. The peer group plays a crucial part of the process, and I encourage students to assist each other not only in my class, but throughout their college careers. At the community college level the population is extremely diverse. I have had teenagers, learning disabled, and senior citizens in the same class. Patience is key, obviously all students do not learn at the same rate. However, through positive reinforcement and reiterating the material in a unique and personal way, I have had success teaching such socially vulnerable groups. I encourage students to contact me using email if they have questions. Additionally, I maintain a website which students can access at: robertdanielflowers.com for syllabi, information about projects, class materials, and current class schedule.\nAt the risk of sounding clich\u00e9, critical thinking is emphasized in all class discussions. For example, in a culture of nearly absolute media saturation, the ability to analyze imagery in depth is absolutely essential to sift through the barrage and arrive at logical interpretations. Rather than merely accept what is seen, students are asked to consider: Who created it? Why was it created? How was it created? What is its significance? How does it stand apart? What is the implication of these questions regarding a students own work? By means of such queries, my goal is to foster ingenuity. Emphasis is placed on whatever method is required for a specific task. In other words, any technology (analog or digital), or methodology that benefits the final result is appropriate. I believe it is important for students to understand that there is not simply one approach or one overriding discipline in artistic expression. I encourage students to choose their own creative path. However, I emphasize that learning the basic fundamentals are necessary to fully grasp a particular medium or discipline. With exponential change happening ubiquitously, largely due to technological leaps, many innovative New Media options have surfaced for the artist. The rise of digital revolution has democratized image making, giving admission to those who were formerly shut-out. I encourage all students to utilize this new found autonomy.\nIt is important for a New Media Arts program to maintain a technologically advanced facility to stay on the cutting edge of emerging art forms. This became evident as an instructor and as a student, witnessing projects being produced by means of an antiquated toolset. Through my understanding of classroom technology, combined with professional experience, I am exceedingly confident in my ability to recommend and make decisions regarding software, and hardware needs as they arise. In a culture of exponential change, it is imperative that I remain vigilant and prepared for adaption to modern devices as they become available. I teach this philosophy in the classroom, instilling a level of competency in desktop hardware and software, as well as maintenance and troubleshooting skills. In my experience, a student who understands and can manipulate modern technology has a significant edge in the marketplace.\nWhile successful learning outcomes may be difficult to quantify in the arts, success in implementing my pedagogy can be seen in my students work. Most recently in my Video Art class during the spring of 2013 at Florida State University. Throughout the course, students worked on group and individual projects under my supervision and independently. They demonstrated comprehension of the basic concepts and ingenuity in their art. The works were quite astute, consisting of animation, live-action, computer graphics, and found footage. Many of them are viewable on my website. Also, during the Winter Quarter of 2012 I taught a graduate seminar at Ohio State\u2019s Advanced Computing Center for the Arts and Design. The primary objective of the course was the formative critique of MFA projects and to refine the methodological process. The majority were having issues with certain aspects of their projects, slowing or even halting progress in some cases. However, after numerous critiques I successfully demonstrated that a mediums basic fundamentals still play an indispensable role, even for graduate students. I managed to foster a think-out-of-the-box approach as opposed to the more rigid production oriented methodologies the students were accustomed to. As a result, student progress was affected positively.\nAs an educator I have a responsibility and obligation which also follows me outside of the classroom. In events such as gallery openings or lectures, I do not lose sight that I am a representative of an institution for higher learning and maintain a professional relationship with the public. On or off campus my relationship with students maintains its symmetry.\nMy pedagogy is malleable. As new theories and technologies surface, the best aspects are incorporated and those which no longer hold merit, discarded. Humor and patience are timeless, and I continue to use them in the classroom to great effect. Ultimately, my educational goal is to imbed critical thinking skills and the basic fundamentals of a students discipline deep into their psyche\u2026Lest they forget. (4-4-14)",

        "title": "What is: A Mortgage-Backed Security | Rolling Alpha",
        "raw_content": "My last post was on mortgages, and focused on the home-owner (see here). If you\u2019ll recall:\nThe Home-Owner has a mortgage liability, which is the obligation to pay back the instalments over the mortgage term; and\nThe Bank has a mortgage asset, which is the right to receive instalments over the mortgage term.\nNow this situation can create a slight problem for the Bank. Firstly, banks are political hot potatoes \u2013 if a bank goes down, there are going to be a lot of unhappy voters. And because they have such high political risk (I\u2019m a cynic), they are highly-regulated. That regulation will extend down to the type and ratio of assets that a bank can have on their Balance Sheet.\nAnd this has a lot to do with liquidity risk.\nLiquidity Risk: is the risk that an institution/individual will not have enough cash to settle its debts. For example, let\u2019s say I spend all my savings on a porsche worth $30,000, but owe my friend $1,000. Even though I can theoretically afford to pay my friend back (I can always sell the car), I have high liquidity risk because it will take me time to sell the car. If he asks for the money tomorrow, I\u2019m not going to be able to pay him.\nBanks face the following liquidity risk conundrum:\nTheir liabilities tend to be current (ie. they can require payment in cash on very short notice);\nTheir assets tend to be non-current (ie. the cash inflows are expected to happen over a period of time).\nNote: a bank\u2019s liabilities would include my savings deposit. From the bank\u2019s perspective, they owe me my money \u2013 and it is therefore their liability. As I can withdraw my savings on very short notice, the liabilities would be current for the bank.\nTherefore, most countries will regulate the amount of long-term assets that a bank can have on its books. If a bank wants to give out more mortgages (and make more money), it has to find some way of removing long-term assets from its books, and replacing them with cash (a short-term or current asset). At the same time, some governments (especially the US government) actually want there to be more mortgages out there. The American Dream, after all, is two kids, a wife and a mortgage. So there is immense pressure from many sides to ease credit in the mortgage market.\nEnter: the Mortgage-Backed Security. Or MBS for short. Also known as a CMO (Collateralised Mortgage Obligation \u2013 as the debt is collateralised by property).\nFor a typical mortgage, the original cash-flows are between the Lender and the Home-owner:\nCash Flows between the Home-Owner and the Bank/Mortgage-Lender\nIn a Mortgage-Based Security transaction, the Bank \u201csells\u201d the cash-flows it receives from the Home-owner to a third-party investor. The cash-flows now look like this:\nThe Repackaging of Mortgage Cash Flows as Mortgage-Backed Securities\nThe net effect is that the bank has become an intermediary. It has removed the mortgage asset from its books and replaced it with the cash that it received from the sale of the securities. At the same time, I should probably point out that the Investor gets the principal and interest after fees. Which makes sense: a Bank must earn on the way in and on the way out.\nThe bank will never sell an investor one mortgage. Rather, they will sell a \u201cbook\u201d of mortgages \u2013 which is generally referred to as a \u201cMortgage Pool\u201d. This diversifies risk; because it is extremely unlikely that all the mortgages in the pool will default, or prepay, or anything else that disrupts the schedule of cash flows.\nHowever, it is likely that a portion of the pool will default, or prepay, or otherwise disrupt the flow of cash. This historically created a problem with mortgage-backed securities, as the cash flows were considered too unreliable to be securitised.\nBut the uncertainty of the cash flows can be addressed to some extent, because when it comes down to the difference between principal and interest \u2013 the interest is clearly more of a problem. The principal is set. But the interest is dependent on interest rate changes (people could refinance), prepayments and curtailments (early repayments of principal).\nSo the solution is to split the cash flows. Some investors only want the principal cash flows, some only want the interest cash flows (the risk-loving bastards), and some are more versatile:\nThe Mortgage Pool being broken up into CMO with different risk exposures\nAnd obviously, the riskier the CMO type, the cheaper its selling price (which is the same as saying that it earns a higher return).\nOnce the Banks started differentiating between types of cash flow, everyone went crazy on this risk category business. They took the Principal + Interest section, and started decomposing it into who gets paid first, who gets paid last, who is the first to lose out if the underlying mortgage holders default, and so on. The mortgage pool was therefore separated into \u201ctranches\u201d based on the type of cash-flow and the variety of risk.\nThese tranches would then be rated from AAA all the way down to junk status by the Ratings Agencies \u2013 and the investment grade stuff could then be bought by the regulated institutional investors like pension funds.\nAnd the junk stuff?\nWell this is where it really starts to get interesting.\nSo many diagrams for a Monday morning!

        "raw_content": "I had the pleasure to sit down and chat with Julia Warren, the founder of Celebrate! RVA and this girl is the real deal! This is an amazing organization \u2013 I was so excited to learn more.\nCelebrate! RVA is a non-profit organization with a simple mission \u2013 to give disadvantaged children in Richmond a memorable birthday celebration in a safe and fun environment. I can\u2019t even imagine having never celebrated my birthday, with at least a cake and some gifts. But these kids can. Their birthdays come and go\u2026without even getting the chance to blow out a single candle.\nJulia has felt passionately about this since a young age. She founded and organized Celebrate! RVA when she was still in high school. The week before Julia had to make a really tough decision on what to do about college \u2013 stay close to home or move out to Texas and attend Texas A&M which is a family tradition \u2013 she was leading a birthday party for Celebrate! RVA. She noticed a sweet little boy quietly sitting in the corner. He wasn\u2019t even sure what to do with all of the fun and celebration around him. This sweet child just didn\u2019t understand that these people were celebrating him. They were celebrating the day he was born.\nJulia\u2019s eyes just lit up as she told me about putting a birthday candle in front of this sweet boy, for the first time. The first time. The first time he had a candle to blow out to celebrate another year of life.\nCan you even imagine? Most of us can\u2019t.\nJulia is full of passion, love, energy and enthusiasm. She has a heart for these kids. She has a heart for RVA. And Celebrate! RVA is making a difference. A huge difference in our RVA community\u2026one celebration at a time.\nThere\u2019s one moment at each Celebrate! RVA party \u2013 that one special moment when each child gets to close his or her eyes, make a wish and blow out his or her very own candle. And that moment, is pure joy for those children and for Julia, who works so hard to make sure that happens.\n\u201cIt\u2019s so important to me that each child gets to blow out his or her own candle. I want them to know they matter.\u201d\nJulia is celebrating another year of life for these precious kids and RVA Living celebrates her!\nDid you know that it only takes a one-time $15 donation to sponsor a birthday child? Or you can donate your birthday so that a child can celebrate and enjoy his or her special day. You can learn more about ways to volunteer or better yet, get tickets to attend the Celebrate Soiree at the beautiful Graduate Hotel on September 23rd!\nFiled Under: Behind the Business, Give Back, Living, Local, Party Decorations, Pay It Forward, Uncategorized, Unique Gifts\nBehind The Northern Southern Blog",

A site not to miss is the impressive Temple of Aphaea built in the 5th century BC. Aegina is also famous for its fantastic pistachio nuts, the island\u2019s soil being considered perfect for their cultivation, so be sure to pick up a bag or two to take with you!\nPoros is a cosmopolitan island and very popular with the sailing crowd with many choices for good eating and drinking in the main town\u2019s promenade and side roads. A short climb up to the main clock tower is well worth it for the lovely views of the port and the opposite mainland. For those who love ancient sites the Temple of Poseidon in the north of the island is in a lovely spot with some nice views, although there are no standing structures anymore. The Archaeological Museum of Poros has a display of relevant finds from the site.\nAlong with Hydra and Poros, Spetses played a defining role in the Greek war of independence in the early 1800\u2019s. Spetses was the home of famous Greek heroine Laskarina Bouboulinas and her house has now been converted into a museum documenting her life and contibution to the independance struggle.\nHydra is a historically wealthy island and this is continued into modern times with it being known as a weekend getaway for Athenians and something of an artist\u2019s haven with many local art galleries showing exhibitions of well known and upcoming artists. Hydra is also known for its architecture and the main town is filled with beautiful houses. Hydra is also well known as an island with no cars or motorbikes, so enjoy the peace and quiet while you are there!\nOpposite Hydra is the tourist town of Ermioni. The town is popular for its pleasant beaches and a number of historical buildings including the Church of Taxiarchon. To the east is the ruins of the ancient port of Ermioni in a nice setting right on top of the sea.\nThe port of Epidavros gives visitors access to the famous Ancient Theatre of Epidavros which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site (and rightly so!). Ancient Epidavros should not be missed, there are many plays put on during the summer months, if you are lucky enough to get some tickets it is highly recommended!",

        "title": "The UK Was Complicit In Torture In Uzbekistan | Scoop News",
        "raw_content": "The UK Was Complicit In Torture In Uzbekistan\nOpinion: No Right Turn\nhttp://norightturn.blogspot.com\nCraig Murray is the UK's former ambassador to Uzbekistan, who was removed from his post after complaining too loudly about human rights abuses and torture in a country that was, at the time, considered a vital ally in the \"war on terror\". He's since written a book about those abuses, and the UK and US's complicity in and toleration of them; unfortunately the British government is trying to use their draconian Official Secrets Act to prevent the revelation of embarrassing information, demanding that he\nremove all references to two especially damning British government documents, indicating that our government was knowingly receiving information extracted by the Uzbeks through torture, and return every copy that he has in his possession.\nSo, he's gone around them. The Blairwatch blog has coordinated a massive leak of the documents to the internet, publishing them themselves and urging other blogs to do the same. As they said in their email, it's not the Al-Jazera memo, but these documents need publishing.\nThe first document [PDF] ( Also Attached Below in HTML ) is a series of telegrams sent by Murray to the Foreign Office, detailing the Uzbek regime's use of torture and protesting the British government's decision to ignore it and continue using (and treating as reliable) information from the Uzbek security services.\nAnd as an example:\n15. At the Khuderbegainov trial I met an old man from Andizhan. Two of his children had been tortured in front of him until he signed a confession on the family's links with Bin Laden. Tears were streaming down his face. I have no doubt they had as much connection with Bin Laden as I do. This is the standard of the Uzbek intelligence services.\nThe second document [JPG \u2013 See below] is a scan of a short memo from Michael Wood, the Foreign Office's chief legal advisor, giving the UK government's position on information derived from torture: that it's OK, provided it doesn't make it into court.\nThis makes a lovely contrast with Tony Blair's public position that the UK does not condone torture and \"would not be involved in any process\" which resulted in its use. It also shows exactly why the British government is attempting to censor these documents: to prevent the embarrassment of being publicly shown to have been lying to the British public (again).\nThere are HTML versions of both documents here (thanks to Kos).\nIf you are outside the UK, I urge you to republish these documents, and help show the UK government that this sort of censorship simply does not work.\nAssociation for Democracy in Uzbekistan - Confidential letters\nConfidential letters from Ambassador Craig Murray...\nTO FCO, Cabinet Office, DFID, MODUK, OSCE Posts, Security Council Posts\nSUBJECT: US/Uzbekistan: Promoting Terrorism\nUS plays down human rights situation in Uzbekistan. A dangerous policy: increasing repression combined with poverty will promote Islamic terrorism. Support to Karimov regime a bankrupt and cynical policy.\nThe Economist of 7 September states: \"Uzbekistan, in particular, has jailed many thousands of moderate Islamists, an excellent way of converting their families and friends to extremism.\" The Economist also spoke of \"the growing despotism of Mr Karimov\" and judged that \"the past year has seen a further deterioration of an already grim human rights record\". I agree.\nBetween 7,000 and 10,000 political and religious prisoners are currently detained, many after trials before kangaroo courts with no representation. Terrible torture is commonplace: the EU is currently considering a demarche over the terrible case of two Muslims tortured to death in jail apparently with boiling water. Two leading dissidents, Elena Urlaeva and Larissa Vdovna, were two weeks ago committed to a lunatic asylum, where they are being drugged, for demonstrating on human rights. Opposition political parties remain banned. There is no doubt that September 11 gave the pretext to crack down still harder on dissent under the guise of counter-terrorism.\nYet on 8 September the US State Department certified that Uzbekistan was improving in both human rights and democracy, thus fulfilling a constitutional requirement and allowing the continuing disbursement of $140 million of US aid to Uzbekistan this year. Human Rights Watch immediately published a commendably sober and balanced rebuttal of the State Department claim.\nAgain we are back in the area of the US accepting sham reform [a reference to my previous telegram on the economy]. In August media censorship was abolished, and theoretically there are independent media outlets, but in practice there is absolutely no criticism of President Karimov or the central government in any Uzbek media. State Department call this self-censorship: I am not sure that is a fair way to describe an unwillingness to experience the brutal methods of the security services.\nSimilarly, following US pressure when Karimov visited Washington, a human rights NGO has been permitted to register. This is an advance, but they have little impact given that no media are prepared to cover any of their activities or carry any of their statements.\nThe final improvement State quote is that in one case of murder of a prisoner the police involved have been prosecuted. That is an improvement, but again related to the Karimov visit and does not appear to presage a general change of policy. On the latest cases of torture deaths the Uzbeks have given the OSCE an incredible explanation, given the nature of the injuries, that the victims died in a fight between prisoners.\nBut allowing a single NGO, a token prosecution of police officers and a fake press freedom cannot possibly outweigh the huge scale of detentions, the torture and the secret executions. President Karimov has admitted to 100 executions a year but human rights groups believe there are more. Added to this, all opposition parties remain banned (the President got a 98% vote) and the Internet is strictly controlled. All Internet providers must go through a single government server and access is barred to many sites including all dissident and opposition sites and much international media (including, ironically, waronterrorism.com). This is in essence still a totalitarian state: there is far less freedom than still prevails, for example, in Mugabe's Zimbabwe. A Movement for Democratic Change or any judicial independence would be impossible here.\nKarimov is a dictator who is committed to neither political nor economic reform. The purpose of his regime is not the development of his country but the diversion of economic rent to his oligarchic supporters through government controls. As a senior Uzbek academic told me privately, there is more repression here now than in Brezhnev's time. The US are trying to prop up Karimov economically and to justify this support they need to claim that a process of economic and political reform is underway. That they do so claim is either cynicism or self-delusion. This policy is doomed to failure. Karimov is driving this resource-rich country towards economic ruin like an Abacha. And the policy of increasing repression aimed indiscriminately at pious Muslims, combined with a deepening poverty, is the most certain way to ensure continuing support for the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan. They have certainly been decimated and disorganised in Afghanistan, and Karimov's repression may keep the lid on for years \u2013 but pressure is building and could ultimately explode.\nI quite understand the interest of the US in strategic airbases and why they back Karimov, but I believe US policy is misconceived. In the short term it may help fight terrorism but in the medium term it will promote it, as the Economist points out. And it can never be right to lower our standards on human rights. There is a complex situation in Central Asia and it is wrong to look at it only through a prism picked up on September 12. Worst of all is what appears to be the philosophy underlying the current US view of Uzbekistan: that September 11 divided the World into two camps in the \"War against Terrorism\" and that Karimov is on \"our\" side.\nIf Karimov is on \"our\" side, then this war cannot be simply between the forces of good and evil. It must be about more complex things, like securing the long-term US military presence in Uzbekistan. I silently wept at the 11 September commemoration here. The right words on New York have all been said. But last week was also another anniversary \u2013 the US-led overthrow of Salvador Allende in Chile. The subsequent dictatorship killed, dare I say it, rather more people than died on September 11. Should we not remember then also, and learn from that too? I fear that we are heading down the same path of US-sponsored dictatorship here. It is ironic that the beneficiary is perhaps the most unreformed of the World's old communist leaders.\nWe need to think much more deeply about Central Asia. It is easy to place Uzbekistan in the \"too difficult\" tray and let the US run with it, but I think they are running in the wrong direction. We should tell them of the dangers we see. Our policy is theoretically one of engagement, but in practice this has not meant much. Engagement makes sense, but it must mean grappling with the problems, not mute collaboration. We need to start actively to state a distinctive position on democracy and human rights, and press for a realistic view to be taken in the IMF. We should continue to resist pressures to start a bilateral DFID programme, unless channelled non-governmentally, and not restore ECGD cover despite the constant lobbying. We should not invite Karimov to the UK. We should step up our public diplomacy effort, stressing democratic values, including more resources from the British Council. We should increase support to human rights activists, and strive for contact with non-official Islamic groups.\nAbove all we need to care about the 22 million Uzbek people, suffering from poverty and lack of freedom. They are not just pawns in the new Great Game.\nTo FCO\nSUBJECT: US FOREIGN POLICY\n1. As seen from Tashkent, US policy is not much focussed on democracy or freedom. It is about oil, gas and hegemony. In Uzbekistan the US pursues those ends through supporting a ruthless dictatorship. We must not close our eyes to uncomfortable truth.\n2. Last year the US gave half a billion dollars in aid to Uzbekistan, about a quarter of it military aid. Bush and Powell repeatedly hail Karimov as a friend and ally. Yet this regime has at least seven thousand prisoners of conscience; it is a one party state without freedom of speech, without freedom of media, without freedom of movement, without freedom of assembly, without freedom of religion. It practices, systematically, the most hideous tortures on thousands. Most of the population live in conditions precisely analogous with medieval serfdom.\n3. Uzbekistan's geo-strategic position is crucial. It has half the population of the whole of Central Asia. It alone borders all the other states in a region which is important to future Western oil and gas supplies. It is the regional military power. That is why the US is here, and here to stay. Contractors at the US military bases are extending the design life of the buildings from ten to twenty five years.\n4. Democracy and human rights are, despite their protestations to the contrary, in practice a long way down the US agenda here. Aid this year will be slightly less, but there is no intention to introduce any meaningful conditionality. Nobody can believe this level of aid \u2013 more than US aid to all of West Africa \u2013 is related to comparative developmental need as opposed to political support for Karimov. While the US makes token and low-level references to human rights to appease domestic opinion, they view Karimov's vicious regime as a bastion against fundamentalism. He \u2013 and they \u2013 are in fact creating fundamentalism. When the US gives this much support to a regime that tortures people to death for having a beard or praying five times a day, is it any surprise that Muslims come to hate the West?\n5. I was stunned to hear that the US had pressured the EU to withdraw a motion on Human Rights in Uzbekistan which the EU was tabling at the UN Commission for Human Rights in Geneva. I was most unhappy to find that we are helping the US in what I can only call this cover-up. I am saddened when the US constantly quote fake improvements in human rights in Uzbekistan, such as the abolition of censorship and Internet freedom, which quite simply have not happened (I see these are quoted in the draft EBRD strategy for Uzbekistan, again I understand at American urging).\n6. From Tashkent it is difficult to agree that we and the US are activated by shared values. Here we have a brutal US sponsored dictatorship reminiscent of Central and South American policy under previous US Republican administrations. I watched George Bush talk today of Iraq and \"dismantling the apparatus of terror\u2026 removing the torture chambers and the rape rooms\". Yet when it comes to the Karimov regime, systematic torture and rape appear to be treated as peccadilloes, not to affect the relationship and to be downplayed in international fora. Double standards? Yes.\n7. I hope that once the present crisis is over we will make plain to the US, at senior level, our serious concern over their policy in Uzbekistan.\n7. Sir Michael Jay's circular of 26 May stated that there was a reporting obligation on us to report torture by allies (and I have been instructed to refer to Uzbekistan as such in the context of the war on terror). You, Sir, have made a number of striking, and I believe heartfelt, condemnations of torture in the last few weeks. I had in the light of this decided to return to this question and to highlight an apparent contradiction in our policy. I had intimated as much to the Head of Eastern Department.\n9. I understand that the meeting decided to continue to obtain the Uzbek torture material. I understand that the principal argument deployed was that the intelligence material disguises the precise source, ie it does not ordinarily reveal the name of the individual who is tortured. Indeed this is true \u2013 the material is marked with a euphemism such as \"From detainee debriefing.\" The argument runs that if the individual is not named, we cannot prove that he was tortured.\n\"The competent authorities shall take into account all relevant considerations including, where applicable, the existence in the state concerned of a consistent pattern of gross, flagrant or mass violations of human rights.\" While this article forbids extradition or deportation to Uzbekistan, it is the right test for the present question also.\n12. On the usefulness of the material obtained, this is irrelevant. Article 2 of the Convention, to which we are a party, could not be plainer: \"No exceptional circumstances whatsoever, whether a state of war or a threat of war, internal political instability or any other public emergency, may be invoked as a justification of torture.\"\n13. Nonetheless, I repeat that this material is useless \u2013 we are selling our souls for dross. It is in fact positively harmful. It is designed to give the message the Uzbeks want the West to hear. It exaggerates the role, size, organisation and activity of the IMU and its links with Al Qaida. The aim is to convince the West that the Uzbeks are a vital cog against a common foe, that they should keep the assistance, especially military assistance, coming, and that they should mute the international criticism on human rights and economic reform.\n16. I have been considering Michael Wood's legal view, which he kindly gave in writing. I cannot understand why Michael concentrated only on Article 15 of the Convention. This certainly bans the use of material obtained under torture as evidence in proceedings, but it does not state that this is the sole exclusion of the use of such material.\n17. The relevant article seems to me Article 4, which talks of complicity in torture. Knowingly to receive its results appears to be at least arguable as complicity. It does not appear that being in a different country to the actual torture would preclude complicity. I talked this over in a hypothetical sense with my old friend Prof Francois Hampson, I believe an acknowledged World authority on the Convention, who said that the complicity argument and the spirit of the Convention would be likely to be winning points. I should be grateful to hear Michael's views on this.\nFind more from No Right Turn on InfoPages.",

        "raw_content": "Aug 11, 2017 | Ashley Kirzinger Follow @AshleyKirzinger on Twitter, Bianca DiJulio Follow @BeeDiJulio on Twitter, Bryan Wu, and Mollyann Brodie Follow @Mollybrodie on Twitter\nThe August *Kaiser Health Tracking Poll finds that the majority of the public (60 percent) say it is a \u201cgood thing\u201d that the Senate did not pass the bill that would have repealed and replaced the ACA. Since then, President Trump has suggested Congress not take on other issues, like tax reform, until it passes a replacement plan for the ACA, but six in ten Americans (62 percent) disagree with this approach, while one-third (34 percent) agree with it.\nA majority of the public (57 percent) want to see Republicans in Congress work with Democrats to make improvements to the 2010 health care law, while smaller shares say they want to see Republicans in Congress continue working on their own plan to repeal and replace the ACA (21 percent) or move on from health care to work on other priorities (21 percent). However, about half of Republicans and Trump supporters would like to see Republicans in Congress keep working on a plan to repeal the ACA.\nA large share of Americans (78 percent) think President Trump and his administration should do what they can to make the current health care law work while few (17 percent) say they should do what they can to make the law fail so they can replace it later. About half of Republicans and supporters of President Trump say the Trump administration should do what they can to make the law work (52 percent and 51 percent, respectively) while about four in ten say they should do what they can to make the law fail (40 percent and 39 percent, respectively). Moving forward, a majority of the public (60 percent) says President Trump and Republicans in Congress are responsible for any problems with the ACA.\nSince Congress began debating repeal and replace legislation, there has been news about instability in the ACA marketplaces. The majority of the public are unaware that health insurance companies choosing not to sell insurance plans in certain marketplaces or health insurance companies charging higher premiums in certain marketplaces only affect those who purchase their own insurance on these marketplaces (67 percent and 80 percent, respectively). In fact, the majority of Americans think that health insurance companies charging higher premiums in certain marketplaces will have a negative impact on them and their family, while fewer (31 percent) say it will have no impact.\nA majority of the public disapproves of stopping outreach efforts for the ACA marketplaces so fewer people sign up for insurance (80 percent) and disapprove of the Trump administration no longer enforcing the individual mandate (65 percent). While most Republicans and Trump supporters disapprove of stopping outreach efforts, a majority of Republicans (66 percent) and Trump supporters (65 percent) approve of the Trump administration no longer enforcing the individual mandate.\nThe majority of Americans (63 percent) do not think President Trump should use negotiating tactics that could disrupt insurance markets and cause people who buy their own insurance to lose health coverage, while three in ten (31 percent) support using whatever tactics necessary to encourage Democrats to start negotiating on a replacement plan. The majority of Republicans (58 percent) and President Trump supporters (59 percent) support these negotiating tactics while most Democrats, independents, and those who disapprove of President Trump do not (81 percent, 65 percent, 81 percent).\nThis month\u2019s survey continues to find that more of the public holds a favorable view of the ACA than an unfavorable one (52 percent vs. 39 percent). This marks an overall increase in favorability of nine percentage points since the 2016 presidential election as well as an increase of favorability among Democrats, independents, and Republicans.\nAttitudes Towards Recent \u201cRepeal and Replace\u201d Efforts\nIn the early morning hours of July 28, 2017, the U.S. Senate voted on their latest version of a plan to repeal and replace the 2010 Affordable Care Act (ACA). Known as \u201cskinny repeal,\u201d this plan was unable to garner majority support\u2013 thus temporarily halting Congress\u2019 ACA repeal efforts. The August Kaiser Health Tracking Poll, fielded the week following the failed Senate vote, finds that a majority of the public (60 percent) say it is a \u201cgood thing\u201d that the U.S. Senate did not pass a bill aimed at repealing and replacing the ACA, while about one-third (35 percent) say this is a \u201cbad thing.\u201d However, views vary considerably by partisanship with a majority of Democrats (85 percent), independents (62 percent), and individuals who say they disapprove of President Trump (81 percent) saying it is a \u201cgood thing\u201d that the Senate did not pass a bill compared to a majority of Republicans (64 percent) and individuals who say they approve of President Trump (65 percent) saying it is a \u201cbad thing\u201d that the Senate did not pass a bill.\nFigure 1: Two-Thirds of Republicans and Trump Supporters Say It Was a Bad Thing the Senate Didn\u2019t Pass ACA Repeal Legislation\nThe majority of those who view the Senate not passing an ACA replacement bill as a \u201cgood thing\u201d say they feel this way because they do not want the 2010 health care law repealed (34 percent of the public overall) while a smaller share (23 percent of the public overall) say they feel this way because, while they support efforts to repeal and replace the ACA, they had specific concerns about the particular bill the Senate was debating.\nAnd while most Republicans and supporters of President Trump say it is a \u201cbad thing\u201d that the Senate did not pass ACA repeal legislation, for those that say it is a \u201cgood thing\u201d more Republicans say they had concerns about the Senate\u2019s particular legislation (21 percent) than say they do not want the ACA repealed (6 percent). This is also true among supporters of President Trump (19 percent vs. 6 percent).\nFigure 2: More Republicans and Trump Supporters Say Senate Bill Failure is a Good Thing Due to Policy Rather than Against Repeal Efforts\nWHO DO PEOPLE BLAME OR CREDIT FOR THE SENATE BILL FAILING TO PASS?\nAmong those who say it is a \u201cgood thing\u201d that the Senate was unable to pass ACA repeal and replace legislation, similar shares say the general public who voiced concerns about the bill (40 percent) and the Republicans in Congress who voted against the bill (35 percent) deserve most of the credit for the bill failing to pass. This is followed by a smaller share (14 percent) who say Democrats in Congress deserve the most credit.\nFigure 3: Four in Ten Credit the Public for the Senate Bill Not Passing, Similar Share Blame the Democrats\nOn the other hand, among those who say it is a \u201cbad thing\u201d that the Senate did not pass a bill to repeal the ACA, over a third place the blame on Democrats in Congress (37 percent). About three in ten (29 percent) place the blame on Republicans in Congress while fewer (15 percent) say President Trump deserves most of the blame for the bill failing to pass.\nHALF OF THE PUBLIC ARE \u201cRELIEVED\u201d OR \u201cHAPPY\u201d THE SENATE DID NOT REPEAL AND REPLACE THE ACA\nMore Americans say they are \u201crelieved\u201d (51 percent) or \u201chappy\u201d (47 percent) that the Senate did not pass a bill repealing and replacing the ACA, than say they are \u201cdisappointed\u201d (38 percent) or \u201cangry\u201d (19 percent).\nFigure 4: Half of Public Are Happy/Relieved that Senate Failed to Pass the Repeal Legislation; Fewer Say They Are Disappointed/Angry\nAlthough two-thirds of Republicans and Trump supporters say they feel \u201cdisappointed\u201d about the Senate failing to pass a bill to repeal and replace the ACA, smaller shares (30 percent and 37 percent, respectively) report feeling \u201cangry\u201d about the failure to pass the health care bill.\nFigure 5: Two-Thirds of Republicans and Trump Supporters Say They Are Disappointed that Senate Failed to Pass Repeal; Fewer Are Angry\nMAJORITY SAY PRESIDENT TRUMP AND REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACA MOVING FORWARD\nWith the future of any other replacement plans uncertain, the majority (60 percent) of the public say that because President Trump and Republicans in Congress are now in control of the government, they are responsible for any problems with the ACA moving forward, compared to about three in ten Americans (28 percent) who say that because President Obama and Democrats in Congress passed the law, they are responsible for any problems with it. Partisan divisiveness continues with majorities of Republicans and supporters of President Trump who say President Obama and Democrats are responsible for any problems with it moving forward, while large shares of Democrats, independents, and those who do not approve of President Trump say President Trump and Republicans in Congress are responsible for the law moving forward.\nHealth, Fitness and Style, News and Issues, Health and Science, Issues, Politics, Government, Senior Women Web, Articles, Sightings, What's New",

        "raw_content": "filming locations, Philadelphia\nAs Glass is being released today, I thought I should finally get on the ball and post some of my Philadelphia locations, including The Sixth Sense and The Happening, from a visit nearly four years ago! Last weekend I got to see the trilogy of Unbreakable, Split, and early screening of Glass. Of the three, Unbreakable is still the best and one of his finest films.\nThe opening shots is a location visited several times in the film, Franklin Field at the University of Pennsylvania. It is located at 235 South 33rd Street in Philadelphia. More on this location later as we visit it throughout the film.\nThe Limited Edition store is actually a restaurant. They were kind enough to let me take a few pictures inside. As you can see, you would barely recognize it as the location with the exception of a few elements in the room. It is located at 1602 Locust Street in Philadelphia.\nHere is the outside of the Limited Edition. Obviously there were people eating so I didn\u2019t quite get all the shots I need to screen match as I didn\u2019t want to bother them!\nInside the store, you can recognize the location a bit more, especially the archways.\nBack to Franklin Field\u2026\nThis area looks virtually the same except the doors are now blue. (I\u2019m wondering if they were painted green in the movie to match David\u2019s signature color?)\nI don\u2019t think this is the exact hall, but was the best I could do as I snuck into the stadium for these shots!\nThis is on the north side of Franklin Field\u2026.\nMr. Glass follows the man through the Weiss Pavilion side of the stadium\u2026\n\u2026then crosses South Street to the train station.\nThe station has had some renovations since filming, but looks about the same as it did nearly two decades ago.\nBack to the Limited Edition where you can see the fireplace on the right\u2026\nProbably my favorite location for this film was the restaurant they went to on their date. Not a restaurant at all in real life, this is located at the Curtis Center, 699 Walnut Street in Philadelphia. The stunning mural is The Dream Garden by Maxfield Frederick Parrish.\nThe train station where David begins to explore his powers is not a station at all, but was a restaurant at the Packard Building at 111 South 15th Street. They didn\u2019t let me take pictures, so I only had this one that I snuck. :)\nAnd finally back to the Limited Edition for the final scene\u2026\nTagged: Unbreakable, M. Night Shyamalan, Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson, Philadelphia, filming locations\nNewer PostCabin In The Woods (2011)\nOlder PostThe Sixth Sense (1999)",

This study found that the lack of structured support over the summer months played a significant role in the health and well-being of children. It also found that the hardest hit were children from deprived communities, who saw their fitness levels drop by as much as 80%.\nBased on these findings Sainsbury\u2019s decided to shift their focus from providing kit and equipment to schools and into providing experiences to help kids between the ages of 5-15 years old stay active during the summer months.\nDuring the visit, Sharon said:\n\u201cIt is a pleasure to be here to see the children taking part in a wide variety of activities, and join them in the fun and games!\n\u201cOur children today are the most inactive generation ever, so I welcome any initiative that can help us get more kids moving \u2013 this is a great example of one doing just that.\n\u201cThe school holidays can be a very difficult time for some families, so I\u2019m pleased that this initiative is offering families a service that will help them, as well as encouraging their children to be fit and healthy over the school holiday.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "growing up i was always jealous of people with strong personalities. i was timid around strangers, loud around my friends and even louder around my family. i felt and still feel like some sort of walking contradiction. i don't even know if i'm an introvert or an extrovert. it all depends on the day and place. but i have always envied people who knew exactly who they were and weren't afraid to display that no matter who they were around. i still really admire people who always stay true to themselves, but i've learned that it's okay to change. because in reality, people are always changing (whether for better or worse) and who wants to feel pigeon-holed in a personality simply because that's what people expect from them?\ngood change is good. but it's still scary. i just need to remember that it means that you're growing. a big part of growing up is figuring out what you like and don't like. people often refer to this as \"finding yourself\" but i'm starting to think that's not possible. as soon as i think i've found myself i throw myself a curveball. but i'm learning that type of uncertainty is okay and to not be afraid of it. because then i might miss out on something amazing.\nfor instance, never in my life did i planning on getting married when i was 20. that is, until i turned 19, met a boy, fell madly in love and knew i wanted to spend forever by his side. all of a sudden i thought getting married at 20 was acceptable. more than acceptable - it felt perfect. luckily, i followed my gut and made that decision, swallowed my pride and did what i had before mocked. and i'm so glad i did. not the mocking part - i still feel bad about that...but the whole marriage thing. it's made me so happy and made me grow and learn so much.\ni guess what i'm getting at is that it's important to evaluate your decisions. are you doing something because someone expects you to? because you've always expected yourself to? or because you really, honestly, truly want to?\ni think once you take the time for that sort of reflection is when you start to figure things out for yourself. and that's how you gain confidence in yourself and your decisions. and you slowly stop the constant comparisons to other people's lives. when i catch myself thinking i wish i was as funny or mysterious or coy or whimsical as that person i try to remind myself that i should focus less on trying to be like them. and more on trying to do what makes me happy and feel comfortable. anyways, if you had to trade lives with them that just means you'd have to take on a whole new set of trials and leave all of your blessings behind. and i don't know about you, but i'm kinda attached to my blessings. even my trials. they've taught me some gooood lessons.\na quote i saw on instagram this week may just be the perfect way to wrap up all these jumbled thoughts: \"live the story that no one else can live. live the story of your own unique life.\"\nSarah44 November 21, 2013 at 8:25 PM\nI like this post! I honestly feel like I change depending on the situation too. We're still young. It can be hard figuring out what we like, don't like, who we are. We should be proud of who we are so far, and we will figure out more of who we are, as life goes along.\ngreat quote, thanks for sharing! you look lovely in this pics, enjoy your weekend ;)\nbrooke: November 22, 2013 at 7:57 AM\ni couldn't agree more. i love this. I FEEL YOU. haha love you chick.\ni love this! i think we have very similar personalities. i have just recently really had to put this whole idea into play. i am 20, so when the whole age change on missionaries happened, i got completely swept up in the storm. to the point where i had a call, AND had accepted it. i just barely came out and told everyone i had decided not to go. it just didn't feel right, and i am so happy i went with my gut.\nThe Indie November 22, 2013 at 10:53 AM\nThis post is so beautiful in its honesty and authenticity. I agree with the quote you mentioned and can totally relate to you about changing personalities depending on the people surrounding you. I'm very Cancer in that sense. Around strangers, I'm extremely in my shell, but if I know you, I can't shut up lol especially if I love you, it increases to a fever pitch haha. But I think that is a personality. I just think it's the uniqueness of being you. Not everyone gets to see every piece of you all at once, it's saved for the best people, the most special people in your world, but you never stop being you. I like what you said about deciding to follow your gut about being married, I've been learning to follow my gut more as time has moved on. This year has been so teaching of that lesson and I've been loving it. I'm loving it now too. It feels like a relief to just follow my gut and forget about rules and plans and to sometimes just be. As you said, I'm learning to start figuring things out for myself :) Beautiful post madame\nsuch a great post. adore that quote at the end! xoxo\nErin Engle November 25, 2013 at 3:22 PM\nReading this it felt like you were talking directly to me. I'm getting to that point where I have no idea where I'll be next year, and trying to figure out what path to take is hard. Thanks for sharing this.\na clover & a bee\nI agree with every part of this!\nand I also agree about the getting married part. never thought I would be one of those. but now that we are, it's kind of nice to move on and say, \"alright, now what? I'm down for anything?\"\nalso, TMI. but sometimes when I feel timid and don't look older than 16 (I don't, ever), I say to myself, \"becca, you can go to the store and buy condoms and beer. don't let anyone talk down to you\".\nYou're the prettiest!!",

        "title": "The Colt That Never Was: Colt\u2019s SSP Pistol",
        "raw_content": "The Colt That Never Was: Colt\u2019s SSP Pistol\nThat Colt\u2019s Manufacturing has had its share of problems in recent years is widely known throughout the firearms community. New management at Colt\u2019s will hopefully eliminate some of these, but lack of really new products continues to plague the company. What new products that have been introduced have by and large been based on older designs. For example, the new Pocket Nine 9x19mm concealed carry pistol is little more than a modified Colt Pony. Colt\u2019s rifle sales of their AR-15 rifles and it variants are good, especially to military and law enforcement customers, but pistol sales to these clients are virtually nonexistent. Nonetheless, there is a market for a double action/single action or double action only automatic pistol for law enforcement use and commercial sales. The .40 Smith & Wesson and 9x19mm calibers, especially the former, are both \u201chot tickets\u201d in law enforcement and personal protection at the moment and will continue to be strong contender in those markets, although the .45ACP market in law enforcement is beginning to make a comeback and has great potential for the near future. In the wake of the Los Angeles \u201cshoot out,\u201d it is significant to note that the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) changed to .45 ACP pistols for its officers and bought significant numbers of 5.56x45mm carbines. This trend is expected to continue, but Colt has no 9mm, .40 S&W or .45 ACP pistol with which to compete against Glock, SIG, Smith & Wesson and Ruger. Or does it?\nIn the early 1970\u2019s Colt engineers designed a pistol that would not only have been competitive at the time, but also in today\u2019s highly challenging market. At a recent visit to the Colt factory in Hartford, CT, we actually saw one of the approximately 50 SSP (Stainless Steel Pistol) pre-production handguns that was produced in preparation for production. The handgun we handled was in .45 ACP, but the gun was designed to be produced simultaneously in 9x19mm, as well. The .40 S&W caliber did not exist at the time, so it was not considered. Why Colt did not manufacture the SSP remains a mystery. No one at Colt\u2019s whom we asked could tell us the reasoning behind the decision, but all agreed that the pistol was a superb design and that it would still be viable in today\u2019s market, especially for law enforcement, many of whom would buy Colt pistols, if there were viable ones in existence. After examining the SSP, we believe that the pistol would be a welcome addition to Colt\u2019s current product line and that it could be put into production in a relatively short time. It could also form the basis for a new line of pistols for military, commercial and law enforcement markets. In fact, Colt had plans to submit the SSP for the military competition that resulted in procurement of the contentious M9, but did not participate. The SSP might not have won, but it would have been a strong contender, despite consistent but unconfirmed rumors that the Beretta was a \u201cdone deal\u201d from the beginning as an \u201coffset\u201d for Italy\u2019s purchase of an American missile system. According to sources at Colt\u2019s, all the engineering design for the pistol was completed many years ago and a complete technical data package (TDP) for production exists. In fact, the SSP was purportedly in pre-production status when the project was terminated in the early 1980s. I was told that many of the approximately 50 pistols manufactured in the pre-production run found their way into the hands of Colt employees of the time. One employee with whom I discussed the SSP told me that he had an SSP both in 9mm and .45ACP! Colt collectors take note!!\nThe SSP is a locked-breech, short recoil operated, detachable magazine fed, double/single action stainless steel handgun. Due to its modular design, the SSP could be converted to double action only (DAO) in a matter of moments by simply replacing the fire control assembly, if a DAO action were desired by the user and COLT provided one. In its .45ACP version, the SSP carries 12 + 1 rounds in its double stack magazine; in 9mm, its magazine capacity is 14 + 1. The pistol\u2019s safety is fully ambidextrous and incorporates a positive hammer block and firing pin safety that releases the firing pin only when the safety is in the \u201cfire\u201d position and the trigger is squeezed. The safety itself has four functions. It blocks the hammer to prevent it from striking the firing pin; it decocks the hammer by disconnecting the sear; it captures and holds the inertia firing pin and allows a round to be chambered with the pistol set to \u201csafe.\u201d The separate internal firing pin safety, as mentioned must \u201csee\u201d two events in order to release the firing pin. The safety must be in the \u201cfire\u201d position and the trigger squeezed. Without both events, the SSP cannot be fired. The internal safety also serves as a \u201cdrop safety\u201d which prevents unintended discharge if the pistol is dropped. The Colt engineers wisely omitted the silly and potentially dangerous magazine safety that some other manufacturers have incorporated into their pistol designs and that most users deactivate as soon as they get their new pistols home from the gun shop. For those who might desire it, the SSP was fitted with a retractable lanyard loop.\nWe found the ergonomics of the SSP that we handled to be excellent. The slide release and safety were easily reached. The safety is \u201csafe\u201d in the down position, so that all the shooter has to do to release it is press it forward. It should be noted however, that the SSP\u2019s other safety features make it perfectly safe to carry with the safety in the \u201cfire\u201d position and the hammer down, as the internal firing pin safety prevents the firing pin from striking the cartridge unless the trigger is depressed. The SSP was never intended to be carried in \u201ccondition one\u201d or \u201ccocked and locked\u201d as with the venerable Colt 1911/1911A1. Thus, the SSP\u2019s first shot is going to always be double action unless the shooter manually cocks the hammer prior to firing. The grip angle of the SSP is virtually identical to that of the 1911, but somewhat thicker due to the \u201cdouble stack\u201d high capacity magazine. It approximates the Browning High Power in overall size, but has a more rounded contour. The pistol handled and pointed extremely well. The slide rails are internal, similar to those of the CZ75, enabling the slide and barrel to be mounted lower in the frame to help minimize felt recoil. The magazine release is in exactly the same location in relation to the thumb as on the M1911A1 and the magazine drops free when it is depressed. The slide stop is internal with an external release, again positioned almost exactly as on the M1911A1.\nThe rear sight is adjustable for windage and both front and rear sights are fitted in dovetails for easy removal. This gives the shooter the appealing option of fitting after-market sights with a minimum of difficulty or replacing damaged sights without taking the pistol to a gunsmith.\nThe SSP disassembles for cleaning without tools, unless one wishes to remove the fire control assembly, which requires removal of a single screw. Disassembly of the SSP is as follows:\n1. Set safety to \u201csafe.\u201d\n2. Remove magazine.\n3. Pull slide to the rear and ensure that the pistol is empty.\n4. Hold or lock slide to the rear and rotate the takedown lever forward and down.\n5. Rotate safety lever up to the \u201cfire\u201d position.\n6. Depress slide stop and allow slide to move forward off the receiver.\n7. If desired, remove fire control housing screw from bottom of receiver.\n8. Grasp hammer and lift the fire control assembly up and out of the receiver. NOTE: The decocking lever and firing pin stop assembly lever are held in place only by the inner sides of the receiver and both are likely to fall free from the fire control assembly when it is removed from the pistol. These parts must be retained for reassembly!\n9. To disassemble slide assembly, press the recoil spring slightly forward and lift rear end of recoil spring and recoil spring guide clear of the barrel.\n10. Lift barrel clear of slide.\nThe magazine is disassembled by simply pressing in on the spring retainer in the center of the floor plate and sliding the floorplate forward off the magazine while controlling the magazine spring to ensure that it does not fly out of the magazine body. The magazine itself is very similar in design and construction to that of the Browning High Power. Once the pistol and magazine are field stripped as outlined above, no further operator disassembly is recommended.\nAssembly is essentially the reverse of disassembly with three exceptions. If the fire control unit has been removed, the decocking lever and firing pin stop must be held in place against the sides of the control housing while it is reinserted into the frame. Once the fire control unit has been reassembled to the frame, the hammer must be cocked before assembling the slide to the receiver and finally, the ejector must be pressed down as the slide is moved to the rear. Once the slide is in position, it must be pulled fully rearward to allow the takedown lever to be rotated back into its engaged position.\nAs can be seen from the photographs, the SSP was a very attractive pistol. The two-tone matte stainless finish was esthetically pleasing, while the overall proportions made it appear to be a logical successor to the venerable Government Model of 1911. At the same time, the innovations of the SSP placed it well ahead of its time for the 1970s. In fact, the pistol would probably be viable in today\u2019s market, should Colt\u2019s choose to produce it. One can only speculate as to why the SSP was not put into production. If it had been, the US pistol market would almost certainly be quite different than it is today. The SSP could have been the baseline for an entire series of modern handguns in much the same way that the Glock 17 has formed the basis for a large array of standard, medium and compact pistols in many different calibers. As it is, we understand that the technical data package for the SSP is still in existence. Perhaps the new management at Colt\u2019s will reexamine the SSP and yet bring it to life. As it is, there are only approximately 50 pre-production SSPs in existence. A few made their way into the hands of private collectors, but it is unknown how many survive today. The SSP is thus one of the rarest Colt pistols and virtually priceless to collectors. The example we were shown at the Colt factory in Hartford was chambered in .45 ACP, but 9mm examples were also produced. We were given an original operator\u2019s manual for the 9mm version. How many of each were manufactured, nobody whom we asked at Colt\u2019s could say. The total in both calibers, however, is less than a hundred, probably closer to 50.\nThe author has recommended to Colt\u2019s management that they consider producing the SSP as soon as practicable with a .40S&W version added. We believe that the SSP makes sense today for a number of reasons. First, it is still a modern design - from the example we saw, as good as any pistol on the market today. Second, Colt has no truly new and innovative pistols to compete in today\u2019s highly competitive handgun market. All of their recent new products save for the All American 2000 have been derived from older designs. (I do not include the recently introduced Colt Cowboy, as it is essentially a 130 year old design despite being different than the Model P.) Even the Pocket Nine, announced at the 1999 SHOT Show, is a scaled up Colt Pony. Colt has no pistols for the law enforcement market and the SSP would give them one. The law enforcement market is relatively small, but that is no reason to surrender approximately 50 per cent of it to a single foreign company simply by default. The SSP\u2019s modular firecontrol unit makes the pistol especially attractive for this market. The SSP is certainly not a Glock, but its versatility in its ability to be changed to different firing modes by simply removing one fire control unit and inserting another makes it just as unique. The SSP today is the Colt that never was, but if there is sufficient demand from the shooting public, perhaps it could yet be put into production.",

        "raw_content": "Softmedia Dubai Web Design Strategy\nSoftmedia Dubai web design is the designing and graphical presentation of content shown on the Internet in the form of Web sites and other Web applications using many different forms of media. We use HTML, CSS, and the newest form of language, XHTML, integrating various forms of dynamic, interactive content using server-side languages such as PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor).\nA Web site is a collection of information about a particular topic or subject. Designing a website is defined as the arrangement and creation of Web pages that in turn make up a website. A Web page consists of information for which the Web site is developed. A website might be compared to a book, where each page of the book is a web page.\nSoftmedia Dubai web site design crosses multiple disciplines of information systems, information technology and communication design. The website is an information system whose components are sometimes classified as front-end and back-end. The observable content (e.g. page layout, user interface, graphics, text and audio) is known as the front-end. The back-end comprises the organization and efficiency of the source code, invisible scripted functions, and the server-side components that process the output from the front-end.\nSoftmedia web developers have a graphic arts background; we pay attention to how a page looks and considering how visitors are going to find the page via a search engine. Softmedia search engine optimization consultants (SEOs) ensure how well a web site works technically and textually: how much traffic it generates via search engines, and how many sales it makes, assuming looks do also contribute to the sales.\nBefore creating and uploading a website, Softmedia takes the time to plan exactly what is needed in the website. Thoroughly considering the audience or target market, as well as defining the purpose and deciding what content will be developed are extremely important.\nIt is essential to define the purpose of the website as one of the first steps in the planning process. We are focuses on what the website will accomplish and what the users will get from it. A clearly defined purpose will help the rest of the planning process as the audience is identified and the content of the site is developed.\nDefining the audience is a key step in the website planning process. The audience is the group of people who are expected to visit your website - the market being targeted. These people will be viewing the website for a specific reason and it is important to know exactly what they are looking for when they visit the site. A clearly defined purpose or goal of the site as well as an understanding of what visitors want to do/feel when they come to your site will help to identify the target audience. Upon considering who is most likely to need/use the content, a list of characteristics common to the users such as:\nTaking into account the characteristics of the audience will allow an effective website to be created that will deliver the desired content to the target audience.\nContent evaluation and organization requires that the purpose of the website be clearly defined. Softmedia will create a list of the necessary content then organizing it according to the audience's needs is a key step in website planning. In the process of gathering the content being offered, any items that do not support the defined purpose or accomplish target audience objectives will be removed. We will test the content and purpose on a focus group and compare the offerings to the audience needs.\nThe next step is to organize the basic information structure by categorizing the content and organizing it according to user needs. Each category will be named with a concise and descriptive title that will become a link on the website. Planning for the site's content ensures that the wants/needs of the target audience and the purpose of the site will be fulfilled.\nCompatibility and restrictions\nBecause of the market share of modern browsers, the compatibility of your website with the viewers is restricted. For instance, a website that is designed for the majority of web surfers will be limited to the use of valid XHTML 1.0 Strict or older, Cascading Style Sheets Level 1, and 1024x768 display resolution.\nThis is because Internet Explorer is not fully W3C standards compliant with the modularity of XHTML 1.1 and the majority of CSS beyond 1. A target market of more alternative browser (e.g. Firefox and Opera) users allow for more W3C compliance and thus a greater range of options for a web designer.\nSoftmedia Dubai will ensure that all incompatibilities go unnoticed by the users and will work on a particular platform browser, thanks to extensive testing it on different environments.\nDocumentation is used to visually plan the site while taking into account the purpose, audience and content, to design the site structure, content and interactions that are most suitable for the website. Documentation may be considered a prototype for the website - a model which allows the website layout to be reviewed, resulting in suggested changes, improvements and/or enhancements. This review process increases the likelihood of success of the website.\nFirst, the content is categorized and the information structure is formulated. The information structure is used to develop a document or visual diagram called a site map. This creates a visual of how the web pages will be interconnected, which helps in deciding what content will be placed on what pages.\nSome or all of the individual pages are designed in greater detail as a website wireframe, a mock up model or comprehensive layout of what the page will actually look like. This is often done in a graphic program.",

        "raw_content": "Everything on Earth, in our Solar System, in our Galaxy, in fact, everything in the entire Universe that you can touch or see, or feel, or smell can be broken down into just 98 naturally-occurring materials that are called 'elements'. Some elements you might know are oxygen, iron, gold and silver.\nWhen one or more elements stick together, they form 'molecules'. These make up all the other thousands of materials in the Universe. Water and carbon dioxide are both molecules. But some elements don't like to play with others, and don't stick to other elements to create molecules. 'Noble gases' are a group of elements that particularly dislike sticking to other elements, so they are mostly found on their own.\nHaving said that, under the right circumstances noble gases can form molecules. These conditions have been created in laboratories many times and many noble gas molecules have been created by scientists. But these rare molecules have never been found out in space, leading scientists to believe that the \u201cright conditions\u201d for these molecules just don't exist in space \u2014 until now!\nThe Crab Nebula, which can be seen in this picture, formed 1000 years ago when a massive star exploded. A new study of this well-known object has uncovered something very surprising \u2014 a rare molecule called argon hydride (pronounced 'ahr-gon hide-ride'). This is a molecule formed when the noble gas 'argon' joins with the most common element in the Universe, 'hydrogen'. It seems that the Crab Nebula provides exactly those \u201cright conditions\u201d that we\u2019d almost given up all hope of finding!\nThere are actually 118 elements known altogether, but only 98 of them occur in nature. All of the other elements are strictly man-made. All known elements have been listed and categorised neatly in the periodic table.",

        "raw_content": "UFC 116 Results and Replay: Brock Lesnar defeated Shane Carwin!\nI almost forgot that tonight is another UFC night that everyone is anticipating for. Good thing We've received 71 e-mails asking us if SLB will be live streaming tonight's UFC event. I'm so happy to know that we have loyal readers who are keep on reminding us every month that there's a big upcoming MMA event.\nWe have also received e-mails that we should also do free live streaming of Strikeforce, UFC Fight Nights, UFC on Versus and WEC. We have that on list and we hope that we can accommodate all of those MMA events within this year.\nA few hours from now, UFC 116 live stream will finally begin. Of course, we'll be live streaming this UFC event as this is one of the most awaited and most prestigious UFC Heavyweight Championship events in the history of Mixed Martial Arts.\nBrock Lesnar is back! I know you guys have been waiting for his return. Now, he will face the Interim Champion, the reigning Heavyweight champion while he was gone.\nI think this match is a breathtaking and must-see match between two of the world's best Heavyweight fighters. Two champions in one arena. Imagine how bloody and eye-popping this match will be.\nShane Carwin will attempt to strip off the championship belt from Brock Lesnar. I'm really not sure how well-prepared Shane Carwin is, but I bet he will give Lesnar a tough fight.\nAs we all know, this is the first time that these two will face each other in the UFC arena. Shane Carwin is undefeated! He has a total of 12 wins, 7 off these wins are via KO and 5 via submission. He's one hell of a superb UFC fighter, isn't he? Shane Carwin, also known as \"The Engineer\", has a big chance to defeat Lesnar tonight.\nHe garnered all of his wins in just 1 round, since WEC 17. I'm pretty sure he will do his best to keep his record clean.\nOn the other hand, Brock Lesnar was defeated once, but this defeat is not a guarantee that Shane Carwin will win tonight. If you've witness UFC 81, Frank Mir was just lucky to defeat Lesnar. I'm sure you agree with me.\nBrock Lesnar has a total of 5 fights with 4 wins and 2 of this wins are via KO. 1 is by submission and one is by decision. This MMA fight record is not that impressive if compared to Shane Carwin. But he's currently the reigning UFC champion, that's why he'll do his best to never be defeated tonight.\nAnyway, I'll predict that Shane Carwin will win. Not based on the stats or their previous records, but based on Carwin's fighting style and physical advantage over Brock Lesnar. Lesnar was injured and recently recovered from it. Still, he was injured before and this is one of the main advantages Carwin has over Lesnar.\nCarwin is physically fit and well-prepared for this bloody battle, but I'm not saying that Lesnar is not well-prepared for tonight.\nAnyway, who do you pick? Lesnar or Carwin? It's your choice, it's your decision to make. Let's just watch UFC 116 live stream tonight and find out what will be the aftermath.\nAnd oh, about the live stream. Just like what we did before, come back here at exactly 10:00 PM ET / 7:00 PM PT as we'll be posting the live streaming instructions, and we'll also do some live blogging updates on every main fight card matches tonight.\nDon't forget to bookmark this post so that you can easily come back here later. You can bookmark it in your browser or in your favorite bookmarking sites.\nHave a nice weekend everyone and see you tonight!",

        "raw_content": "Someone once described the Holy Land as \u201cthe fifth gospel\u201d. This book aspires to give you a glimpse into the world of that fifth gospel. Through brief notes and stunning pictures the book explains why there is a yearning among many Christians to see the Holy Land, at least once in their lifetime. Local Christians like to call it \u201cthe Land of the Holy One\u201d for it is here we believe that God has come to dwell with us and make himself known uniquely in Jesus Christ. It was here that heaven and earth, eternity and time met in the person of Jesus. Many testify to having encountered him in a deeper way at one or more of these places.\nYou may have never contemplated visiting the Holy Land. You may be thinking about it and want to read something in preparation. Perhaps you travel there regularly. What ever your situation, these chapters are designed to inform your mind, stir your heart and deepen your faith.\nCovering the geography, history and biblical significance, you are given an introduction to twenty-one of the most important places that feature in the Bible. Reflect on each location and use the biblical references offered to dig deeper into the Scriptures and see how God has used each place within his providential purposes. Discover how these places have an abiding message today, and may you develop a deeper love for the One who was predicted, born, lived, died and rose here for you.\n\u201cWhen Moses went up on the mountain, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the LORD settled on Mount Sinai. For six days the cloud covered the mountain, and on the seventh day the LORD called to Moses from within the cloud. To the Israelites the glory of the LORD looked like a consuming fire on top of the mountain. Then Moses entered the cloud as he went on up the mountain. And he stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights.\u201d (Exodus 24:15-18)\nMount Sinai which is also called Mount Horeb, lies within the Sinai Peninsula, a large wedge-shaped land bridge between Africa and Asia bounded by the Gulf of Suez, the Mediterranean, the Gulf of Aqaba and the Red Sea. The exact location of Mount Sinai is not known but it is believed to be near Ras Sasafeh where the mountain range climbs almost vertically from the Sinai plain. Dean Stanley, the 19th Century explorer describes how the dramatic scenery, \u201c\u2026presents a long retiring sweep, within which the people could remove and stand afar off. The cliff, rising like a huge altar in front of the whole congregation, and visible against the sky in lonely grandeur from end to end of the whole plain, is the very image of the \u2018mount that might be touched,\u2019 and from which the voice of God might be heard far and wide over the plain below.\u201d\nHaving left Egypt a few months before, the people of Israel journeyed about 240 kilometres and camped in \u201cthe desert of Sinai\u201d at the foot of the mountain. There they stayed for a whole year (Exodus 19:1-2; Numbers 10:11-13). It was there on Mount Sinai that the Lord God revealed Himself through Moses to Israel (Exodus 19:17-24). The Law of God was given (Exodus 20), the role of the Levite priests established (Numbers 3), the first tabernacle built (Numbers 9:15), and the Covenant between God and Israel confirmed (Exodus 24). So significant was this event that the mountain came to symbolise God\u2019s awesome presence and protection (Judges 5:4-5; Psalm 68:7-8). The other events that occurred when Israel camped at the foot of Mount Sinai are recorded in Exodus 19-40, Leviticus and Numbers 1-11.\nFollowing his victory over the 450 prophets of Baal at Mount Carmel, Elijah, exhausted and afraid of Jezebel\u2019s threats of revenge, fled to Mount Sinai. Here the Lord graciously appeared to him, not in the wind or earthquake, but in the still small voice. Elijah was re-commissioned to anoint two new kings and Elisha his successor (1 Kings 19:1-18).\nThere are also a number of significant references and allusions to Mount Sinai in the New Testament. Like Moses, Jesus spent 40 days alone in the wilderness (Luke 4:1-13). In His transfiguration on another high mountain, Jesus encountered Moses and Elijah both of whom had met with God on Mount Sinai. The shekinah glory of God as well as the voice of God confirmed Christ\u2019s authority (Matthew 17:1-5). In another allusion to Mount Sinai, Jesus compares Himself with the cursed snake lifted up by Moses to save those being punished for their rebellion (John 3:13-15). After Jesus had been rejected and crucified, Sinai came to be associated with those still in slavery under the Old Covenant. This is contrasted with those set free to be the true children of God by faith through the New Covenant (Galatians 4:24-25; Hebrews 12:18-24). It was actually God, not Moses, who provided food and water for the Israelites in the wilderness (John 6:32). Paul even asserts that Christ was the very Rock (1 Corinthians 10:4). One greater than Moses has now appeared (Hebrews 3:2-6).\nThe experience of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai is used as a sober lesson to warn Christians not to commit the same sins of idolatry and unbelief which led to God\u2019s judgement (1 Corinthians 10:1-13; Hebrews 3:7-19). We must never become complacent, or worse still, arrogant about the basis of our salvation. The genuineness of our faith in Christ is evidenced not by our profession but by our perseverance.\n\u201cAbraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there he called upon the name of the LORD, the Eternal God. And Abraham stayed in the land of the Philistines for a long time.\u201d (Genesis 21:33-34)\nBeersheba is an ancient town marking the southern limit of Israeli settlement in biblical times on the northern edge of the Negev Desert. It lies on the trade-route to Egypt, mid-way between Gaza and the Mediterranean Sea to the east and the Dead Sea to the west, about 77 kilometres from Jerusalem to the north. At Beersheba several important personal encounters took place with God. These include Hagar (Genesis 21:8-17); Isaac (Genesis 26:23-33); Jacob (Genesis 46:1-5); and Elijah (1 Kings 19:3).\nAt Beersheba God taught His people many lessons in how to relate to their neighbours, some of which have an abiding relevance today. It was here for instance that Hagar, the Egyptian servant of Sarah, and her son Ishmael, abandoned by Abraham in the desert, encountered the angel of God. God promised not only that they would survive but that Ishmael would become the father of a great nation (Genesis 21:14-21) This promise was fulfilled in the rise of the Arab peoples. It was also here in the land of the Philistines, living as an alien, that Abraham learnt to call on the name of the Lord. He dug a well and planted a tamarisk tree after agreeing a treaty with Abimelech, king of Gerar over rights to the water (Genesis 21:22-34).\nThe name Beer-sheba means \u201cthe well of the seven\u201d and refers to the seven lambs offered as witness to the covenant of mutual assistance between the Patriarch and the Philistines (Genesis 21:31). Beersheba appears to have been the home of Abraham and Isaac, for when the dispute arose between Jacob and Esau over the birthright, it was from Beersheba that Jacob began his journey to Mesopotamia in search of a wife (Genesis 28:10). Many years later Jacob, now called Israel, offered sacrifices to God at Beersheba on his way to Egypt to be reunited with his son Joseph (Genesis 46:1). In the times of the Judges, the people of Israel cried out for a king because of the corrupt leadership of Samuel\u2019s sons Joel and Abijah at Beersheba (1 Samuel 8:2). When Jezebel tried to kill Elijah he fled to Beersheba, and like Hagar, prayed that he might die there. Here in the desert the Lord sustained Elijah and commissioned him to anoint a new generation of religious and political leaders (1 Kings 19:1-9).\nThe kingdom in David\u2019s time stretched from \u201cDan to Beersheba\u201d and this expression came to denote the extent of Israeli settlement from north to south (2 Samuel 17:11). Perhaps because of the associations with the Patriarchs and with the theophanies which occurred there, by the time of Amos Beersheba had become one of the idolatrous shrines rivalling the true worship of God in Jerusalem. Amos\u2019 message remains pertinent when we too are tempted, \u201cSeek the Lord and live\u201d (Amos 5:4-6; 8:14).\nBeersheba reminds us that it is often in our desert experiences, when we are brought low, and realise we cannot rely on human resources, that we encounter God afresh. We discover like the Patriarchs did that as we worship Him as the one true God of heaven and earth and trust in Him alone, He will not only sustain us but give us new direction and purpose.\nThe Judean Wilderness\n\u201cI will make rivers flow on barren heights, and springs within the valleys. I will turn the desert into pools of water, and the parched ground into springs. I will put in the desert the cedar and the acacia, the myrtle and the olive\u2026 so that people may see and know, may consider and understand, that the hand of the Lord has done this, that the Holy One of Israel has created it.\u201d (Isaiah 41:18-20)\nThe Judean wilderness roughly extends from the shores of the Dead Sea, west through the mountainous central plateau before it begins to descend to the coastal plains near Gaza by the Mediterranean Sea (Judges 1:16). To the south lies the more inhospitable wilderness of Sinai (Exodus 19:1) and to the north, Jerusalem and the hills of Samaria. The word Judea is the Greco-Latin form of Judah. The term Judah was used by Ezra to describe the area of Palestine around Jerusalem which was then under Persian rule (Ezra 5:8). There are only three natural springs on the eastern edge of the Judean wilderness, at Jericho, Ain Feshka, 16 kilometres to the south, and at Ein Gedi another 28 kilometres further south.\nThe word used to describe this wilderness in Hebrew is midbar, meaning \u2018pasture-ground\u2019 and denotes land without settled inhabitants or natural sources of water. The word is also used to describe the wilderness between Egypt and Palestine where the tribes of Israel wandered with their flocks and herds for forty years (Exodus 19:2; Jeremiah 2:6). This area is known as a \u2018tame desert\u2019 because of its latent fertility needing only water to make it fruitful. It receives limited rainfall of between 100-300 millimetres a year, although amounts can vary dramatically from year to year. The wilderness of Judea is prone to sudden storms causing dangerous flash floods which tend to occur in March or April. The erosion caused by these floods leave a dramatic mark on the landscape. For a matter of only a few weeks, when rain has fallen, the Judean wilderness is carpeted in a brief but beautiful display of flowers and greenery (Isaiah 35:1-2).\nThe Bible depicts the desert as the habitat of raiders such as the Amalekites and Midianites who frequently attacked the Israelite farmers. They were sent by God to punish the Jews for rebelling against Him (Judges 6:1-6). Saul was eventually able to provide some measure of relief from these attacks (1 Samuel 14:47-48). It was here that David shepherded his father\u2019s flocks (1 Samuel 17:28; 26:1-3) and found refuge from Saul (1 Samuel 23:21-29). Two of the prophets were born here, Amos at Tekoa and Jeremiah at Anathoth. John the Baptist also lived and preached in the Judean wilderness (Luke 1:80; 3:1-6).\nThe inhospitable desert was held in fear and awe by the Jews, a place of terror (Isaiah 21:1). The Israelites were warned to remember how the Lord protected them from its harsh climate and \u2018venomous snakes and scorpions\u2019 when later tempted to become proud and arrogant (Deuteronomy 8:10-20). Figuratively, the desert was also used to depict the graphic effects of God\u2019s judgement (Isaiah 33:8-9), returning the earth to its primeval chaos as it was before creation (Jeremiah 4:23-26).\nBy God\u2019s grace, redemption is repeatedly likened to the transformation of the wilderness into a paradise restored (Isaiah 35:1-10; 43:19-20; 51:3). The life giving properties of water are used by the Apostle John in his consummate vision of the new heaven and earth.\n\u201cThen the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.\u201d (Revelation 22:1-2)\n\u201cMy lover is to me a cluster of henna blossoms from the vineyards of En Gedi.\u201d (Song of Songs 1:14)\nAlong the western shore of the Dead Sea, the barren hills of the Judean wilderness descend through deep ridges and, for most of the year, dry gullies. Freshwater springs are rare but the most spectacular and abundant is to be found about mid-way along the shore at En Gedi, some 30 kilometres south east of Hebron.\nHot water springs burst from the ground about 100 metres above the cliff base forming a beautiful cascading waterfall sustaining a semitropical oasis of rich vegetation all year round.\nAptly named, En-Gedi means \u2018spring\u2019 or \u2018fountain of the kid\u2019. It was first known as Hazezon Tamar which means \u2018pruning of palms\u2019 suggesting that date palms also once grew here (Genesis 14:7; 2 Chronicles 20:2). En-Gedi was inhabited by the Amorites in the days of Abraham (Genesis 14:7), was allotted to Judah (Joshua 15:62), and in the reign of Solomon was renowned for its vineyards (Song 1:14). It was also an important source of aromatic and medicinal plants including henna and balsam. Archaeological remains dated to the time of Josiah (ca. 639-6-09 B.C.) show evidence that perfumes were produced here.\nEn-Gedi is probably remembered most of all for being the place of refuge where David hid from king Saul and his army of 3,000 men (1 Samuel 23:29-24:1). There are many caves in the area of En Gedi and on one occasion the rugged terrain enabled David to take advantage of Saul who had entered a cave to relieve himself. David\u2019s men took this as a providential sign that they should kill Saul (1 Samuel 24:4). This would have secured David\u2019s claim to the throne, already confirmed by Samuel (1 Samuel 16:13). David, however, resisted the temptation. In his conscience he knew that such an action was wrong. It was not cowardice but courage David displayed in refusing to kill Saul. He acknowledged that God had appointed Saul and God alone would judge between them vindicating David at the right time (1 Samuel 24:12-15, 26:10-11).\nIt was an important lesson David learnt about patience and trusting in the revealed character of God. Perhaps David shared this experience with his son Solomon for he later wrote, \u2018The king\u2019s heart is in the hand of the LORD; he directs it like a watercourse wherever he pleases.\u2019 (Proverbs 21:1).\nThe events of David\u2019s experience in En-Gedi remind us not to interpret our own circumstances too quickly or necessarily read into them God\u2019s providence, even when the advice of others coincides. The ends rarely justify the means. Instead we should weigh our circumstances carefully in the light of our conscience and above all in the light of God\u2019s word. We should not compromise our moral standards by giving in to group pressure or by taking the easy way out David used those times alone with God to meditate on God\u2019s character and promises. The best way to develop a similar intimacy with God is to take time alone with him and with an open Bible find nourishment and refreshment at your very own spiritual En-Gedi. The psalms, many of which were inspired in this region, are a good place to start (see Psalms 18; 54, 56-57, 59, 63, 142).\n\u201cHe said to me, \u2018This water flows toward the eastern region and goes down into the Arabah, where it enters the Sea. When it empties into the Sea, the water there becomes fresh. Swarms of living creatures will live wherever the river flows. There will be large numbers of fish, because this water flows there and makes the salt water fresh; so where the river flows everything will live.'\u201d (Ezekiel 47:8-9)\nThe Dead Sea marks the lowest point on earth and formed Israel\u2019s eastern border. In the Bible it is called by various names including the Salt Sea (Genesis 14:3); the Sea of the Arabah (Joshua 3:16); and the Eastern Sea (Ezekiel 47:18). The Middle East is dominated by a geological fault line which runs from Syria down to Central Africa. The Dead Sea is at the southern end of the Jordan Valley which has been shaped by this fault line. The water level is around 390 metres or 1,300 feet below sea level. The size of the Dead Sea has changed a great deal in history. Today it is approximately 80 kilometres from north to south and 15 kilometres from east to west. In recent years it has been shrinking due to the removal of water from the Jordan river for irrigation. Because there is no outlet for the water, evaporation leaves behind large quantities of mineral deposits such as potash, bromine, magnesium chloride, and other salts, making the Dead Sea, at around 30% solid, the source of the richest mineral deposits on earth. The region also suffers from an inhospitable climate reaching 43C in summer with an average rainfall of only 5 cm. per year.\nThe shores of the Dead Sea feature in many biblical events. It is believed that the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah were situated near its southern shores (Genesis 13:10-12; 19:24). On its western side the fresh water spring of Engedi provided a place of refuge for David, when hiding from Saul (1 Samuel 24:1-2); To the south in the Valley of Salt, David was victorious over the Edomites (1 Chronicles 18:12-13) as was Jehoshaphat at the Path of Ziz just north of En Gedi (2 Chronicles 20:1-3, 15-17). Herod the Great built one of his fortresses at Machaerus in Perea overlooking the eastern shores of the Dead Sea. It was here that John the Baptist was later imprisoned and beheaded by Herod Antipas (Mark 6:14-29).\nAlthough the Dead Sea is associated, as its name suggests, with death and barrenness, the prophet Ezekiel saw a wonderful vision of a river flowing out from the Temple sanctuary in Jerusalem and down through the Judean wilderness into the Dead Sea (Ezekiel 47:1-12). The prophet Zechariah also prophesied, \u201cOn that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem, half to the eastern sea and half to the western sea, in summer and in winter.\u201d (Zechariah 14:8). The apostle John refers to the same glorious hope in his vision of Revelation 22. Jesus gave new meaning to the phrase \u201cliving water\u201d in his conversation with the woman at the well of Samaria in John 4 and later in his teaching in the Temple itself in John 7.\n\u201cOn the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, \u2018If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him.'\u201d (John 7:37-38)\nThere are times perhaps when we can identify with the Psalmist David who cried out when he was in the Judean wilderness near the Dead Sea, \u201cO God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.\u201d (Psalm 63:1). The good news is we don\u2019t have to visit the shores of the Dead Sea to develop a thirst for the living water, the filling of the Holy Spirit, whom Jesus promised to all who seek Him.\nThe first occasion in which Bethlehem is mentioned in history has been found in the Amarna letters written from tribal kings of Palestine to the Egyptian pharaohs probably sometime between 1400-1360 B.C. The ruler in Jerusalem complains that Bit-Lahmi has deserted to the \u2018Apiru people, a word probably referring to the Hebrews. Bethlehem is about 9 kilometres south of Jerusalem just off the main road to Hebron and Egypt. A strategic position perched 750 metres above sea level, the town sprawls out along several limestone ridges like the tentacles of an octopus. To the east lies Beit Sahour which means the Shepherd\u2019s Fields and the barren hills of the Judean desert. To the west are more fertile slopes around Beit Jala where corn and figs, olive fields and vineyards abound.\nThe town of Bethlehem is mentioned frequently in the Bible. Its location became sacred when Jacob buried his beloved wife Rachel by the road side near the entrance to Bethlehem. (Genesis 35:19; 48:7). It is possible that Salma, the son of Caleb, built the first Jewish settlement there (1 Chronicles 2:51). The town and surrounding fields also feature prominently in the romantic love story of Ruth and Boaz who became the great-grandparents of David (Ruth 1; 2:4; 4:11). The town grew in prominence when Samuel anointed the shepherd boy David, to be king of Israel there (1 Samuel 16:4-13). By New Testament times Bethlehem had come to be known as \u2018The town of David\u2019 (Luke 2:4,11).\nAround 700 B.C. the prophet Micah predicted that someone greater than David would be born in Bethlehem whose origins, incredibly, would be earlier than his human birth (Micah 5:2). When the Magi came from the East searching for the one to be born king of the Jews, Herod consulted with the chief priests and biblical scholars, who it seems knew full well the significance of Micah\u2019s prophecy (Luke 2:1-8; John 7:42).\nBethlehem is therefore unique. It is the place where Almighty God, the Creator of the universe, entered our world and became a human being. It is hard to comprehend the wonder and enormity of this fact. Words cannot improve on the declaration of the angels to the shepherds, \u201cToday in the town of David a Saviour has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.\u201d (Luke 2:11).\nUnder the Church of the Nativity, probably the oldest church in the world and best authenticated site in the Holy Land, is a simple cave. In the silence of this ancient site, best visited in the early morning, it is possible to pause and worship near the place where the Lord Jesus Christ was born. To enter the church one must first stoop low below the lintel. The tallest must stoop the furthest, only children can enter without bending down. What a lesson in humility.\nFor many, Bethlehem and the Christmas story is the place where they first begin to experience the meaning of that enigmatic phrase \u201cHe has also set eternity in the hearts of men\u2026\u201d (Ecclesiastes 3:11), for here in this place time, eternity and destiny meet in Jesus.\nIncidentally, in Hebrew, Bethlehem means \u2018The house of bread\u2019. How appropriate that the One who said \u201cI am the Bread of Life\u201d should be born in the house of bread. On another occasion Jesus said, \u201cWhoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink.\u201d (John 6:54-55). Let us indeed feed on Him in our hearts by faith with thanksgiving.\n\u201cThen they came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples, together with a large crowd, were leaving the city, a blind man, Bartimaeus (that is, the Son of Timaeus), was sitting by the roadside begging. When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, \u2018Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!'\u201d (Mark 10:46-47)\nThere are three sites on which Jericho was built at different times in history. The conical mound of Tel Jericho represents all that remains of the earliest settlements. Just to the east where the Wadi Qelt emerges from the Judean wilderness into the Jordan Valley lie the foundations of 1st Century Jericho with its royal winter palaces of the Hasmonean and Herodian period. Modern Crusader Jericho is a short walk to the south and is visible for great distances because of the abundance of its trees and rich green vegetation.\nJericho is situated in the broad and fertile Jordan plain, opposite Mount Nebo (Deuteronomy 32:49), ten kilometres north of the Dead Sea and at 240 metres below sea level, the lowest city on earth. The climate is tropical, which, combined with the rich alluvial soil, the presence of a perennial spring and the proximity of the Jordan river, has created an oasis justly earning Jericho the accolade \u2018city of palms\u2019 (Deuteronomy 34:3). An historic east-west road which fords the river Jordan nearby also makes Jericho a strategic entry point into Palestine (Joshua 3:14-17). It is probably for these reasons that Jericho is the oldest known inhabited city in the world. The earliest remains are dated to around 7,000 years B.C. so that by the time the Hebrew tribes emerged from the wilderness, Jericho was already an ancient and prosperous city defended by stone walls built on an earthen embankment. The name Jericho is associated with the worship of the semitic fertility cult moon-god Yarih.\nGiven its strategic location, the most important settlement in the Jordan Valley, Jericho features prominently in the story of the settlement of Palestine by the Israelites.\nAfter Jericho was destroyed by the Israelites, no attempt was made to rebuild the city for four hundred years and the site remained uninhabited (Joshua 6:24-26). During this long period of abandonment the remains of the fallen city walls and buildings were exposed to the weather and eroded, making their dating within the archaeological strata difficult. Jericho was eventually rebuilt by Hiel of Bethel in the reign of king Ahab. The curse placed by Joshua on anyone re-establishing the city was fulfilled in the death of his oldest and youngest sons (1 Kings 16:34). In the 24 April 1998time of Elijah and Elisha, Jericho was the home for a school of prophets (2 Kings 2:4-5, 18-22). The plains of Jericho also feature in the sad story of the capture of Zedekiah, the last king of Judah, by the Babylonians (2 Kings 25:5-7).\nJesus visited Jericho on a number of occasions. The traditional site where Jesus was baptised by John in the Jordan river is near Jericho (Matthew 3:5-17). Similarly his temptation may have taken place in the Judean wilderness to the west of the city (Matthew 4:1-11). Jewish pilgrims travelling to Jerusalem from Galilee who wished to avoid Samaria would travel via Jericho. On occasions Jesus also used this route (Matthew 20:17-19; 20:29-21:2). In Jericho Jesus called people like Zacchaeus, the tax collector, to become his disciple, and demonstrated His Messianic claims and supernatural power by giving sight to the blind (Mark 10:46-52). Some of His parables such as of \u2018the Good Samaritan\u2019 were inspired by the dramatic scenery, and in this case, the hazardous road between Jericho and Jerusalem (Luke 10:30).\nJericho stands as testimony to the power of faith. Trusting in God may indeed see walls brought down (Hebrews 11:30); sight received (Mark 10:52); prejudice overcome (Luke 10:30); human nature transformed (Luke 19:8); and salvation experienced (Luke 19:9-10).\n\u201cLot looked up and saw that the whole plain of the Jordan was well watered, like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, toward Zoar.\u201d (Genesis 13:10)\nIn Hebrew, Jordan, (Yarden), means \u201cthe descender.\u201d This is because it flows through the Jordan Valley from the snowy slopes of Mount Hermon, the highest peak in the Orient down to the Dead Sea, the lowest place on earth. It is also the lowest river on earth, flowing for most of its course below sea level. Whereas the distance from Mount Hermon to the Dead Sea is 113 kilometres, the length of the Jordan river, as it meanders through the valley, is actually 323 kilometres long.\nThe Jordan has three principle sources: The first is the Leddan which flows from the base of the hillside near the ancient border town of Dan. The second source, called the Banias, flows from under the limestone cliffs near the ruins of Caesarea Philippi joining the Leddan about 9 kilometres south of Dan. The third source is called the Hasbany which rises on the western slopes of Mount Hermon and joins the main stream about two kilometres further south. Here the river is about fifteen metres wide and flows through a deep channel four to five metres deep before it enters the Sea of Galilee. For most of its length the Jordan is between twenty eight and thirty one metres wide and between one and three metres deep. Because there are twenty seven sets of rapids along the river it carries no traffic. Although there were a number of fords between the Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea, it was not until the arrival of the Romans that the river was bridged.\nThere are two important tributaries which enter the River Jordan further south, between the Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea. The Yarmuk formed the boundary between Bashan and Gilead, and the Jabbok which enters the Jordan about thirty kilometres north of Jericho was formerly the northern boundary of Ammon.\nSurrounded by mountains, the entire valley is in a rain shadow from the westerly rain bearing winds. Average annual rainfall at Dan is about 600 mm. The Sea of Galilee receives about 400 mm. whereas at Jericho on average only 125 mm. falls each year. In biblical times the Jordan valley was full of dense vegetation and in many places was also swampy, the habitat of lions and other wild animals (Jeremiah 12:5; 50:44; Zechariah 11:3). It is probably for a combination of these reasons that no large city ever grew up on the banks of the Jordan. The Jordan did however play a significant role in the history of Israel and is mentioned 178 times in the Old Testament and fifteen in the New Testament. It is first referred to in the story of Abraham and Lot when they separated and shared the land between them (Genesis 13:8-12). Jacob crossed the Jordan on several occasions (Genesis 32:10), wrestling with the Lord at the ford of the Jabbok (Genesis 32:22-30). Led by Joshua, the Israelites miraculously crossed the flooded Jordan probably near Adam, twenty six kilometres north of Jericho, \u201con dry land\u201d (Joshua 3:15-17). God later enabled both Elijah and Elisha to repeat the miracle (2 Kings 2:8, 14). Naaman was healed in its waters (2 Kings 5:8-14) and David crossed it to escape from his rebellious son Absalom (2 Samuel 17:22-24). The importance of the Jordan river in Scripture is because it was regarded as a natural border not just between the eastern and western tribes of Israel (Numbers 34:10-12), but also, as now, as a military frontier (Judges 7:24; 12:5). In the New Testament, the River Jordan features most significantly in the ministry of John the Baptist and in the baptism of the Lord Jesus (Matthew 3:6; Mark 1:9-11).\nTo cross the Jordan became figurative of making a decision, like crossing the Rubicon (Deuteronomy 3:18-20; 27:4; Joshua 1:2). Is there a \u201cJordan\u201d that you must cross metaphorically, in obedience to God, in order that you too may experience His blessings and receive your inheritance?\n\u201cThe sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise. In your good pleasure make Zion prosper; build up the walls of Jerusalem.\u201d (Psalm 51:17-18)\nThe ancient city of Jerusalem is situated on a spur of land where three deep wadis, the Kidron, Tyropoean and Hinnom merge to form one valley sloping south toward the Dead Sea. Jerusalem was first settled by the Amorites and Hittites (Ezekiel 16:3,45). Indeed the name \u201cJerusalem\u201d means \u201cfounded by the god Shalem\u201d after one of the Amorite gods. Jerusalem\u2019s long history is written in its walls as they were built up, seiged, demolished, rebuilt and expanded by its successive inhabitants; so much so that Jerusalem has been the scene of conflict on over 40 occasions during its history.\nThe earliest walls of ancient settlements were often made of earth or clay bricks mixed with reed. Over time these were vulnerable to erosion from the weather, structural instability or destruction by fire. For this reason they are often difficult to locate or date with certainty (Isaiah 30:13; Amos 1:7,10,14). The earliest known walls of Jerusalem were made of stone and exploited the natural defensible terrain to the east, south and west (Isaiah 2:15; 9:10; Zephaniah 1:16).\nAlthough mentioned in the demarcation of the land taken by Judah and Benjamin (Joshua 18:15), Jerusalem first gained significance to the Israelites when David captured the Jebusite city and made it his capital. He may have done so because it was more central than Hebron to the emerging kingdom formed from the twelve tribes of Israel. David made use of the Jebusite fortifications which may have included only one gate (2 Samuel 15:2). Solomon was probably the first to incorporate the northern hill of Mount Moriah within the city walls having built the Temple there around 1010 B.C. In 722 B.C. with the fall of the Northern kingdom, refugees arrived in Jerusalem and Hezekiah enlarged the walls to the west to contain the burgeoning population. These walls were sufficiently impregnable to survive the seige of Sennacherib in 702 B.C. and traces remain today (2 Chronicles 32:5). Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, destroyed the city in 586 B.C. following a siege that lasted three years (2 Kings 25; Jeremiah 39). The Temple and palaces were destroyed by fire and the walls again razed to the ground. These were rebuilt under Ezra and Nehemiah in around 430 B.C. following the return of some of the Israelites from exile in Babylon (Nehemiah 2-3). Nehemiah\u2019s description of the walls and gates of Jerusalem is the most comprehensive to be found any where in the Bible. It is likely that use was made of the existing foundations and that the gates were given their former names (Nehemiah 12:31-39).\nJosephus, the Jewish historian, provides us with the most detailed record of the walls of the 1st Century A.D. in his book The Jewish Wars. He specifically mentions three walls which incorporated the work of Solomon, Hezekiah, Nehemiah, the Hasmoneans and Herod the Great. Remains of a wall and tower dated to the 7th Century B.C. have been found under the Roman Cardo which are 4 metres thick and 8 metres high. Another discovery known as the Broad Wall, dated to the work of Hezekiah in the 8th Century B.C., is 7 metres wide.\nWith the capture of Jerusalem by the Romans, the city witnessed significant changes to its shape and size. In 41 A.D., for instance, Herod Agrippa doubled the size of the city by building a third wall on the north and west sides of the city which also, incidentally, brought the site of Calvary inside the wall. This was, however, never completed as the entire city was destroyed in A.D. 70 by the Romans. Hadrian eventually rebuilt the city, including its walls, renaming it Colonia Aelia Capitolina. His work included the enlargement of the northern wall which became 6 metres wide and 13 metres high with 90 towers. The walls of Jerusalem today, with their thirty-five towers and eight gates, are largely the work of Suleiman the Magnificent and date from the 16th Century. In places they are built over a patchwork of much earlier walls and gates and the immense layers of rubble accumulated over thousands of years.\nIn the Bible, walls are used to symbolise many things but especially to describe salvation. It is good to remember that our security should never rest in stone defences but in God alone who is our eternal rock (Isaiah 26:1; 60:18). So often walls are built to exclude or divide people. Jesus Christ has broken down the wall of separation between Jew and Gentile that had once existed in the Temple, enabling all people to come to know God through Him. It is for us to live out this equal grace and common justice in our divided world (Ephesians 2:14).\n\u201cDo not be angry beyond measure, O Lord; do not remember our sins forever. Oh, look upon us, we pray, for we are all your people. Your sacred cities have become a desert; even Zion is a desert, Jerusalem a desolation. Our holy and glorious temple, where our fathers praised you, has been burned with fire, and all that we treasured lies in ruins. After all this, O Lord, will you hold yourself back? Will you keep silent and punish us beyond measure?\u201d (Isaiah 64:9-12).\nDavid\u2019s lament has epitomised the deep feelings and aspirations of Jews down the centuries who have come to the Western or \u201cWailing\u201d Wall to pray (Psalm 79:1,4-5). When the Temple was destroyed in July 70 A.D. the Western Wall became the focus of Jewish religious life in Jerusalem. The Hebrew prophets themselves gave an answer to this lament, although their message has not always been welcomed or heeded. \u201cRend your heart and not your garments. Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity. Who knows? He may turn and have pity and leave behind a blessing\u2026\u201d (Joel 2:13-14)\nThe lowest seven courses of stone visible in the Western Wall date back to the Jewish Temple built by Herod the Great between 18 B.C. and A.D. 28. Below the pavement level a further 19 courses reach a depth of 21 metres. Some of these stones which make up the retaining wall of the Temple Mount measure more than 12 metres in length and one is known to weigh 400 tons. The Temple walls were constructed so precisely that there was no need for mortar or cement, the stones simply resting one on top of the other. The entire Western Wall of the Temple Mount is 485 metres long although only 57 metres is accessible today. Above the Herodian foundations, the stone work is made up of progressively smaller and smaller stones which date back to the Roman, Muslim and Ottoman periods.\nIt is possible that the open area adjacent to the Wall today was at the time of Christ an open porticoed plaza used for public gatherings, described by Josephus as the Xystos. It lies on top of some 21 metres of debris built up during the Hellenistic and Roman periods filling in and levelling what was once the Tyropoeon Valley. Archaeology has also revealed that this area was previously the site of a Hellenistic gymnasium built by Jason (2 Maccabees 4:12). Even earlier burial remains discovered here indicate that this area was outside Solomon\u2019s walls in the 8th Century BC. before the city expanded west.\nJews were prohibited from entering Jerusalem following the destruction of the city in A.D. 70 and it was not until sometime after the death of Harian in 138 that they were allowed to return annually on the 9th July to lament the destruction of the Temple. Gradually as the prohibition was relaxed Jews began to settle in Jerusalem in small numbers and come to pray near the Temple Mount on other occasions. With the capture of Jerusalem by the Muslims and the construction of shrines on the Temple Mount area Jews were again denied access and the Western Wall became the nearest location for pilgrimage. For many centuries Jews came here to pray, especially on Friday evenings at the beginning of their Sabbath, to lament the downfall of Jerusalem and the Temple. In 1930 the League of Nations declared the area around the Western Wall, known as the Moors Quarter, to be a Moslem holy place, although the narrow ally adjacent to the Wall measuring 47 metres by 4 metres remained accessible to Jews for prayer. However, when Israel occupied the city in 1967 they demolished Arab homes and mosques next to the Wall to create the wide plaza now utilised by Jews as a synagogue for prayer, celebrations and Barmitvah ceremonies.\nToday the Western Wall is a vivid reminder that God no longer dwells in temples made by hands (Acts 17:24). Jesus fulfilled and annulled the role of the Temple in the purposes of God. Jesus cleansed the Temple which was originally intended to be for all nations (John 2:13-17; Malachi 3:1). He also predicted the destruction of the Temple because the Jews rejected their Messiah (Matthew 23:37-24:2). Jesus taught that He Himself was greater than the Temple (Matthew 12:6) and when His authority was questioned described His body as the Temple that mattered (John 2:19). Jesus also taught that the Church would be the new eschatological Temple (Matthew 18:19-20; John 14:23) a theme developed by the Apostles (1 Corinthians 3:16; 6:19; 2 Corinthians 6:16). By His death Jesus has opened a new way into the presence of God making the Jewish Temple unnecessary (Ephesians 2:14-22). The New Jerusalem which will one day come down from heaven needs no Temple for we shall see God face to face (Revelation 21:22; 22:4). God\u2019s answer therefore to those who still seek Him at the Western Wall may be summarised in Jesus reply to the Samaritan woman, \u201cBelieve me, woman, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem\u2026 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.\u201d (John 4:21-24)\nThe Mount of Olives is actually a ridge of hills running from north to south for about 4 kilometres to the east of Jerusalem and parallel to the deep ravine of the Kidron Valley. As the name suggests, the hillsides were once covered with dense olive groves. To the east lies the villages of Bethpage and Bethany and beyond them, the Judean wilderness and the Jordan Valley. The barren hills of Moab and the Dead Sea are also visible from this strategic vantage point. For this reason it was known as Jerusalem\u2019s watchtower.\nThe northern end became known as Mount Scopus, meaning \u201clookout\u201d because the Roman general Titus used it for his headquarters during the fateful siege of Jerusalem in A.D. 70. Until the time of Christ, the Mount of Olives had been heavily wooded with many olive trees. These were, however, cut down and used for battering rams and siege machines by the Romans when they destroyed the city. At the southern end where the Kidron Valley merges with the Valley of Hinnon it is called the Mount of Corruption. Here, where previously the Israelites had worshipped God (2 Samuel 15:30-32), and may have fulfilled the purification ceremony of the red heifer (Numbers 19), king Solomon built \u201chigh places\u201d for \u201cAshtoreth the vile goddess of the Sidonians, for Chemosh the vile god of Moab, and for Molech the detestable god of the people of Ammon.\u201d (2 Kings 23:13) These were later desecrated by king Josiah who covered the sites with human bones and cut down the Asherah poles to purify the religious practices of Israel. Subsequently the Mount of Olives is associated with the departure of the shekinah glory of God from the Temple as a sign of Israel\u2019s impending exile (Ezekiel 10:18; 11:23).\nParallels between Old and New Testament events which occurred on the Mount of Olives are significant. In the time of Nehemiah, for example, following their return from captivity in Babylon, the Israelites probably gathered branches from the olive trees here, as well as palm branches, to make booths to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles (Nehemiah 8:15). On what became known as Palm Sunday, the disciples of Jesus similarly gathered branches from the Mount of Olives with which to greet their king as he entered Jerusalem.\nJesus was not the first king of Israel to weep over Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives. When Absalom rebelled against his father David, the deposed king fled the city, his feet bare and head covered in shame. As he looked back over Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives he wept (2 Samuel 15:30-32), even acknowledging that Shimei\u2019s curse on him may have been from God (2 Samuel 16:5-10). Centuries later the Lord Jesus would also weep over Jerusalem from this spot knowing that within days they would call for his crucifixion, rejecting God\u2019s way of peace and reconciliation. Jesus would willingly be cursed in their place but they refused. In tears, Jesus foretold the consequent destruction of Jerusalem as the result of God\u2019s judgement upon Israel (Luke 19:41-44).\nDuring the last week of his life Jesus spent much time with his disciples on the Mount of Olives (Mark 13:3-37; Luke 21:37; 22:39). With its dense foliage and cool evening breezes perhaps it reminded him of Galilee, providing a welcome retreat from the tension of the overcrowded city. Repudiating their mistaken belief that he was still going to restore a physical kingdom to Israel, Jesus commanded them instead to leave Jerusalem and become his witnesses taking the gospel to the whole world. From the Mount of Olives, the Lord physically ascended to heaven, angels promising he would return in the same way (Acts 1:6-12). Zechariah had previously predicted this indicating that when the Lord Jesus Christ returns to judge the earth, it will be to the Mount of Olives. This dramatic event will be marked by a radical change to the topography of the Mount of Olives. \u201cOn that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south\u201d (Zechariah 14:4).\nIts easy to be a Christian on Palm Sunday when the sun is shining and we are surrounded by many others worshipping the Lord. It is not so easy on Maundy Thursday when it is dark, we are alone or the future uncertain. Then it is time to remember that it is but a short distance from the Mount of Olives to the Garden of Gethsemane. Before being a place of resurrection and ascension it was first a place of denial and rejection. Ironically the word \u201cwitness\u201d comes from the same word as \u201cmartyr\u201d. For many Christians to be a witness for Christ literally means being a martyr also. Jesus calls us to both (Mark 8:34-38; Acts 1:8-9) and to identify with Paul when he said \u201cfor me to live is Christ and to die is gain.\u201d (Philippians 1:21).\n\u201cThey went to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus said to his disciples, \u201cSit here while I pray.\u201d He took Peter, James and John along with him, and he began to be deeply distressed and troubled. \u201cMy soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death,\u201d he said to them. \u201cStay here and keep watch.\u201d Going a little farther, he fell to the ground and prayed that if possible the hour might pass from him. \u201cAbba, Father,\u201d he said, \u201ceverything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.\u201d (Mark 14:32-36)\nGethsemane means \u201coil press\u201d in Aramaic and is situated on the Mount of Olives across the Kidron Valley overlooking the Temple of Jerusalem. The various references in the Gospels suggest that this was an enclosed piece of ground which Jesus \u201centered\u201d (Matthew 26:36). John specifically mentions that it was a garden (John 18:1). The exact location is not known since in A.D. 70 Titus cut down all the trees on the Mount of Olives in his siege of Jerusalem.\nJesus came to the Garden of Gethsemane often to pray alone and to be with His disciples, especially in the evenings leading up to His trial and crucifixion. This may indeed have been the place where he lodged when visiting Jerusalem (Luke 21:37; 22:39). After sharing the Last Supper with His disciples Jesus took them to the Garden of Gethsemane one last time to pray in preparation for His imminent betrayal and arrest (Matthew 26:36-46). Judas, knowing this was where Jesus would be, brought the Jewish religious leaders to arrest Him in the Garden (Matthew 26:47-56).\nThe Bordeaux Pilgrim writing in A.D. 333 specifically mentions the existence of a vineyard with a rock where Judas betrayed Jesus. The first church to commemorate the events of the Garden of Gethsemane at the foot of the Mount of Olives was probably built by Theodosius between 379-384. This was destroyed by the Persians and rebuilt by the Crusaders. Today the Church of All Nations, completed in 1924, stands on the site over the \u201crock of agony\u201d on which it is believed Jesus prayed before His arrest. Beside the Church is a simple but beautiful garden with eight very old olive trees, the largest of which has a girth of nearly 6 metres. Olive trees never die so it is possible the trees that survive today have grown from the stumps of those that witnessed the sad events that first Maundy Thursday. Carbon-dating tests carried out in 1982 confirm that some of the wood may be 2,300 years old.\nIt was in the Garden of Gethsemane, alone, just as in the Judean Wilderness at the beginning of His ministry, that Jesus was tempted by Satan. He was overcome with sorrow knowing what lay before Him, yet Jesus submitted obediently to the will of God, \u201cMy Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done.\u201d (Matthew 26:38; 42). He was tempted as we are yet withstood the test and overcame (Hebrews 5:7-9). Therefore we can identify with Him as He has done with us. \u201cLet us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.\u201d (Hebrews 12:2-3).\nIt is possible that the Apostles saw a parallel with the Garden of Eden where the first Adam disobeyed God and sin and death entered the world. Here in another Garden the second Adam overcame temptation and by His death in our place brought forgiveness and life (Romans 5:15-17; 1 Corinthians 15:21-22).\nIf you ever find yourself too tired to pray, or perhaps in dark times have felt unable to pray or been tempted to deny Christ, remember the events in the Garden of Gethsemane. The Apostles have been there before you. Like Peter, take a few moments to confess your sin, recommit yourself to follow Christ and hear His words of comfort and love (John 21:15-17; 1 John 1:8-10).\nGolgotha and the Garden Tomb\n\u201cAt the place where Jesus was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid. Because it was the Jewish day of Preparation and since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.\u201d (John 19:41-42)\nThere are two places associated with Calvary in Jerusalem today. The traditional site has been venerated since before Hadrian (117-138) built a pagan shrine to Venus over the tomb and a statue to Jupiter on Golgotha to eliminate the Christian churches. In 326 Queen Helena, the mother of the emperor Constantine was shown the site by Bishop Macarius, and had the pagan temple demolished. In its place she built the Church of the Holy Sepulchre to encompass both the site of Calvary and the tomb of Jesus.\nThe other location, north of the Damascus Gate, has been venerated since 1885 when the rather eccentric General Charles Gordon popularised the notion that a rocky hill at the back of a disused quarry appeared to match the skull like description of Calvary. One of its names Betha-Sekilah means \u2018Place of Stoning\u2019. Its proximity to a tomb discovered in 1849 seemed to corroborate this assertion. The tomb itself may date from the time of Herod Agrippa (A.D. 37-44), although the doorway and windows appear to be Byzantine or later. Gordon disputed the authenticity of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre because it lie within the walls of Jerusalem. Jews would not bury their dead within a populated area because tombs were regarded as unclean. What Gordon did not appreciate, however, was that the Ottoman walls of the 16th Century were built further north than those of the 1st Century Roman Jerusalem so later encompassing the area around the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Evangelical tastes also came to prefer the simplicity of the Garden Tomb to the ornate and complex oriental religious shrines within the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Scriptures give us some clues as to the location of Calvary. Matthew, Luke and John specifically mention that this was a new tomb in which no one had yet been buried, one that was sealed with a rolling stone (Matthew 27:59-60; Luke 23:50-53; John 19:41). John and the writer of Hebrews emphasise that Jesus was crucified outside the city walls (John 19:20; Hebrews 13:12) while John specifically mentions that the tomb was within a garden (John 19:41). Matthew adds that Jesus was buried in a tomb belonging to Joseph of Arimathea, a wealthy member of the Sanhedrin who had not consented to the execution of Jesus but was himself a secret disciple (Matthew 27:57-60).\nThe place where Christ was crucified is called Golgotha in the Gospels. This is the transliteration of an Aramaic word meaning \u201cthe place of the skull\u201d (Mark 15:22). The word is also used twice in the Old Testament literally of the skulls of Abimelech and Jezebel (Judges 9:53; 2 Kings 9:35). Our English word \u201cCalvary\u201d means the same thing and comes from the Latin \u201ccalvaria\u201d. It is probable that the location was given this name because it was a place of execution and a skull symbolised death.\nIn ancient Palestine, caves were commonly used as graves or tombs. Over several generations, members of the same family would share a cave to bury their deceased. The word \u201csepulchre\u201d is translated from the Hebrew and refers to a niche that was carved out of the side of the cave in which the body of a deceased person would be placed (Genesis 23:6). When only the bones remained they would be gathered and placed at the back of the cave, sometimes in a sarcophagus. Jewish tombs had small niches carved out of the walls in which bodies were placed. 1st Century examples of these can still be seen at the back of the Syrian chapel within the Church of the Resurrection, ironically named the Tomb of Joseph of Arimathea.\nThe most significant fact about the tomb of Jesus, however, is not its exact geographical location. What matters is that it was empty. \u201cHe is not here He is risen\u201d (Luke 24:6). Only after they had encountered the risen Lord did the disciples begin to comprehend his incredible promise, \u201cI am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.\u201d (John 11:25-26). At Golgotha heaven and earth unite, where time and eternity meet. The place uniquely demonstrates to us the extent of God\u2019s unconditional love, the cost of achieving forgiveness for our sin, and proclaims the assurance of life everlasting. Have you acknowledged that Jesus died in your place in order that you may share his risen life? (1 Peter 3:18; Romans 5:8).\n\u201cNow Jesus had to go through Samaria. So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph. Jacob\u2019s well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.\u201d (John 4:4-6)\nSamaria means \u201ca watch-mountain\u201d or \u201cwatch-tower\u201d. This apposite name refers to the mountainous region, sandwiched between the secular Galilee of the Gentiles in the north and the religious orthodoxy of Jerusalem and Judea to the south. The name was also given to the hill top city founded by king Omri, the father of Ahab, after the former owner Shemer, whose name means \u2018watch\u2019 (1 Kings 16:24). This imposing location became the capital of the northern kingdom after Solomon\u2019s death. Samaria is a beautiful and diverse region of mountains and valleys. With good supplies of rain, olives grow in abundance along with vines, grain and citrus fruits. Strategically situated on important ancient highways near the ancient well dug by Jacob, the city of Samaria gave access to Jerusalem to the south, Megiddo and the Jezreel Valley to the north, as well as to the sea and coastal plain to the west, and the Jordan Valley and Phoenicia to the east.\nUnder the influence of Jezebel and Ahab, Samaria became a notorious centre for idolatrous worship. The Hebrew Prophets repeatedly called on the people of Samaria to repent, graphically warning of judgement for their pride and arrogance (Isa. 9:8-17), their wickedness (Hos. 7:1-7), rebellion (Hos. 13:16), and exploitation of the poor (Amos 3:9-12; 4:1-3). The city was destroyed and rebuilt on many occasions, its population deported and resettled by waves of Assyrians, Greeks and Romans. It was this mixed community of Jews and Gentiles, known as Samaritans, who in the Hellenistic period built a replica of the Temple to the Hebrew God on Mt. Gerizim to rival that in Jerusalem. This was later destroyed by John Hyrcanus around 128 B.C. It is something of an understatement to say that by the time of Christ, the relationship between the Jews and the Samaritans was strained (Luke 9:51-56; John 8:48-51). The animosity was so deep that the Jews would avoid passing through Samaria on their journeys between Galilee and Judea. They would rather take a wide detour to the east, cross the Jordan river and travel through barren and inhospitable Gentile territory if it meant they could avoid contact with Samaritans.\nThat is why Jesus attitude toward Samaritans is so remarkable, so free from the ugly racism as common then as today. Jesus openly rebuked His disciples for their hostility toward the Samaritans when rejected by them (Luke 9:55-56). On one memorable occasion Jesus told a story that exalted a Samaritan for his compassion in contrast to the indifference of representatives of his own people (Luke 10:25-37). On another occasion it was a Samaritan leper whom he praises for his thankfulness lamenting the ungratefulness of the other nine who were presumably Jews (Luke 17:11-19). Significantly, Jesus intentionally travelled through Samaria (John 4:4), stopped at Jacob\u2019s well and asked a Samaritan woman for a drink (John 4:7) to the amazement of his disciples, and then preached the Gospel to her community so that many Samaritans responded gladly (John 4:39-42). When in Acts 1:8, the risen Christ commanded His disciples to witness specifically in Samaria, Philip, Peter and John obeyed and many Samaritans came to faith in Jesus Christ (Acts 8:4-17; 15:3).\nSamaria, perhaps more than any other location in the Holy Land reminds us of the patience and mercy of God. Its message rebukes our tendency to avoid or discriminate against people because of their race, colour or creed. How often are we, like the disciples, only too eager to call down fire from heaven upon those who give us a hard time? Samaria emphasises the universality of Christ\u2019s Gospel and the inclusive nature of God\u2019s Kingdom.\n\u2018In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin\u2019s name was Mary.\u2019 (Luke 1:26-27)\nNazareth is nestled in a hollow valley high up among the hills of lower Galilee overlooking the broad and flat Jezreel Valley. It is about half way between the Sea of Galilee and the Mediterranean. Caravans on the main trade routes from Egypt, Ptolemais, Gilead and Damascus passed through the valley within a few kilometres of Nazareth. The frequent movement of foreign armies would also have been observed from there at a safe distance. Given its commanding view, it is likely that \u2018Nazareth\u2019 is derived from the Aramaic, meaning \u2018watch tower\u2019 although it is possibly a derivation of the Hebrew for \u2018shoot.\u2019\nNazareth is not mentioned in either the Old Testament or Talmud. It is first referred to in the Gospels as the home of Mary and Joseph, and the place where Jesus grew up (Matthew 13:53-57; Luke 4:16). Perhaps Joseph felt Jesus would be safe from Archelaus in such a small and relatively obscure community (Matthew 2:21-23). As a growing young man, Jesus met with favour and respect within His community (Luke 2:51-52).\nNazareth may have been regarded as an insignificant or even a dubious place to live, its residents perhaps, distinguished by their \u2018northern\u2019 accent. What ever the reason Nathaniel is initially scornful when told that the Messiah is from Nazareth (John 1:46). Similarly the religious leaders, not knowing of the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem, were sceptical about His association with Nazareth (John 7:41-43, 52).\nJesus began His public ministry in Nazareth. He had regularly attended the Synagogue there but on this occasion, reading from the scroll of Isaiah predicting the coming of the Messiah, Jesus said, \u2018Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing\u2019 (Isaiah 61:1-2; Luke 4:16-21). Thinking that they knew Him, their response to His claim was one of hostility and rejection (Luke 4:28-30). On a second occasion Jesus returned to His home town and taught in their Synagogue (Matthew 13:54-57). But because of their continued unbelief Jesus was unable to perform many miracles (Matthew 13:58). Although known as \u2018Jesus of Nazareth\u2019 (Luke 18:37; 24:19) the saddest day for that community must have been the day Jesus left Nazareth and made Capernaum his home while living in Galilee (Matthew 4:13; 10:13-15).\nNazareth reminds us that it is so easy to despise the familiar; to fail to appreciate or take for granted things like our homes and families or even God\u2019s presence with us. Like the people of Nazareth we may not notice the ways God is intervening in our world, every day, speaking His will into our own personal situations, just as He did that very ordinary day when Mary heard the angel say, \u2018Greetings, you are highly favoured! The Lord is with you\u2019 (Luke 1:28).\nIt is not for us to question or try and work out \u2018how\u2019 God\u2019s will may be accomplished, but like Mary, our part is to respond in simple trust, \u2018I am the Lord\u2019s servant\u2026may it be to me as you have said.\u2019 (Luke 1:38). And then by God\u2019s grace, it most surely will.\nMegiddo and the Jezreel Valley\n\u201cAnd I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son. On that day the weeping in Jerusalem will be great, like the weeping of Hadad Rimmon in the plain of Megiddo\u201d (Zechariah 12:10-11).\nMegiddo is the most strategic location in Palestine and possibly in the entire Middle East. Situated at the entrance to the main pass through the Carmel mountains, it lies on the junction of two important historic roads used by armies and traders from the Stone Age to the present day. Megiddo guards access to the Mediterranean Sea in the west and the route east through the Jezreel Valley to Damascus and Mesopotamia. The other coastal route links Egypt and Gaza in the south with Acco and Phoenecia in the north.\nControl of Megiddo therefore has been of military importance since at least the days of Thutmose III in the 15th century B.C. right up to General Allenby\u2019s campaigns in the First World War. Jezreel which means \u201cGod sows\u201d (in Greek, Esdraelon) separates the hills of Samaria from those of lower Galilee. It is so flat it is possible to see for fifty kilometres in several directions. It is easy to imagine how great armies once camped within it on twenty different occasions.\nThe imposing Tell at Megiddo stands 21 metres high and archaeology has revealed over twenty distinct periods of occupation. Megiddo was once one of the royal fortified cities of the Canaanites (Joshua 12:21) and before that it was of importance within the Egyptian Empire. It was assigned by God to the tribe of Manasseh (Judges 1:27) but does not appear to have been captured until the time of Solomon when it became one of his administrative districts (Joshua 17:11-13;1 Kings 4:12; 9:15). During the period of the Judges the Israelites rebelled against God. He allowed Jabin the Canaanite king to oppress them for twenty years. When they cried out to God, he sent Deborah the prophetess to lead Israel (Judges 4:1-14). She inspired Barak and the northern tribes to gather near Mount Tabor to ambush Sisera and his nine hundred chariots. The Canaanites were defeated and Sisera came to a messy end in the tent of Jael (Judges 4:15-24).\nMegiddo became one of Solomon\u2019s principal fortified cities like those at Hazor and Gezer. Extensive stables have been discovered large enough to accommodate 450 horses. These possibly date from the time of Solomon or more probably belonged to Ahab. During the divided monarchy, Megiddo again fell into the hands of the Egyptians and then to the Assyrians. In 609 B.C. Pharaoh Neco II and his Egyptian army passed through the valley of Jezreel on his way to fight against the Assyrians. King Josiah ignored God\u2019s guidance and tried to resist the Egyptians at Megiddo but was fatally wounded, despite his disguise, by an Egyptian archer and died in battle there (2 Kings 23:29; 2 Chronicles 35:20-24). The prophet Zechariah, speaking prophetically, compared the mourning for the death of king Josiah in Jerusalem with that of the crucified Lord (Zechariah 12:10-12). Summarising the importance of the Valley of Jezreel in Biblical history, George Adam Smith writes, \u201cEsdraelon lies before you\u2026the scenes of Barak\u2019s and Gideon\u2019s victories, of Saul\u2019s and Josiah\u2019s defeats, of the struggles for freedom in the glorious days of the Maccabees. There is Naboth\u2019s vineyard and the place of Jehu\u2019s revenge upon Jezebel; there Shunem and the house of Elisha; there Carmel and the place of Elijah\u2019s sacrifice\u2026\u201d\nThere is one brief reference to Megiddo in the Book of Revelation where Armageddon means the Hill of Megiddo (Revelation 16:14-16). The Apostle John describes a great battle between the armies of the world on the final day of the Lord. It is possible that this portrays a literal battle or is perhaps a symbolic reference to the final overthrow of evil by God.\nAt a time when there is much foreboding about the future, Megiddo reminds us to put our hope in the sovereignty of God who rules over history, not in our intellectual genius, military strength or financial resources (Jeremiah 9:23-24).\n\u201cIn Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (which, when translated, is Dorcas), who was always doing good and helping the poor.\u201d (Acts 9:36)\nJoppa, also called Jaffa today, means \u2018beauty\u2019 in Hebrew. It is indeed a beautiful as well as strategic location, set on a rocky outcrop on the Mediterranean coast, the only natural harbour between Egypt and Akko. For this reason it was prized by the Pharoah Thutmose III (ca. 1468 B.C.) as well as Ramases II (ca. 1304-1237). In the Amarna letters, for example, the beauty of her gardens are noted as well as the skill of her workers in leather and wood. It is first mentioned in the Bible as part of the inheritance of the Tribe of Dan (Joshua 19:46), although it largely remained a Philistine stronghold until king David captured it.\nIn the 2nd century B.C. conflict between the Maccabees and Greek residents led to its destruction by fire in 142 B.C. (2 Maccabees 12:3-8). Only then did it become an Israelite town. Pompey captured the town in 63 B.C. and Antony gave it to Cleopatra of Egypt.\nJoppa began to lose its influence as a port when in 22 B.C. Herod began construction of Caesarea to the north. Joppa had always been a difficult harbour to navigate because of the reefs which form a breakwater about 100 metres off shore. Until the rise of air travel, Joppa remained the main port through which pilgrims passed on their way to the Holy Land.\nJoppa is mentioned several times in the Bible. It was to Joppa that rafts of cedar wood from Lebanon were brought for transport overland to Jerusalem for king Solomon to construct the First Temple (2 Chronicles 2:16). The same route was used for transporting wood for the Second Temple commissioned by Cyrus (Ezra 3:7).\nJoppa features again in the story of Jonah as the Phoenician port from which the prophet tried to evade the Lord\u2019s commission to preach in the wicked city of Nineveh, later the capital of the Assyrian empire (Jonah 1:3). Jonah had probably grown up to hate the Assyrians and their evil practices (Nahum 3:1-19). His antipathy was so strong that he did not want them to hear of God\u2019s mercy (Jonah 4:2-3) even though this had always been God\u2019s purpose and Israel\u2019s mission (Genesis 12:3; Isaiah 42:6).\nIn the New Testament it was also coincidentally in Joppa that the Apostle Peter appeared to show a similar reluctance to recognise God\u2019s compassion for the Gentiles. Here Peter received a rather less drastic lesson through a vision of various kinds of clean and unclean food (Acts 10:9-16). Peter\u2019s vision prepared him to receive the servants of the Cornelius who were already on their way from Caesarea to take him back to explain the Gospel to the Gentiles. It is interesting that Peter had already chosen to stay in the home of Simon the tanner in Joppa since by associating with someone who handled the skins of dead animals he was unclean according to Jewish law. Perhaps Peter\u2019s willingness to reject such prejudice helped prepare him for this vision of an inclusive gospel and the realisation that \u201cGod does not show favouritism but accepts men from every nation that fear him and do what is right.\u201d (Acts 10:34-35). When the Holy Spirit came upon them in the same way he had done so in Jerusalem on the Day of Pentecost, Peter and the other Jewish believers could no longer view the Gentiles as inferior people excluded from God\u2019s saving grace.\nJoppa reminds us then of a double lesson: It is futile to run away from God\u2019s will. The proclamation of the good news of Jesus Christ to all people must always be our first priority. We were no more deserving than anyone else, for we are all sinners saved by grace (1 Timothy 2:3-6). This is why there is no place for any distinctions based on race within the Church for, \u201cThere is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus\u201d (Galatians 3:28).\n\u201cThen Peter began to speak: \u2018I now realise how true it is that God does not show favouritism but accepts men from every nation who fear him and do what is right'\u201d. (Acts 10:34-35)\nCaesarea is on the Mediterranean coast between the ancient cities of Jaffa and Dor, on the main coastal road between Tyre and Egypt. Because of the lack of any natural harbour between Sidon and Egypt, the Sidonian king Abdashtart built a fortified anchorage in the 4th Century B.C. It was called Strabo\u2019s Tower after the Greek translation of his name. It became a Greek settlement from 332 B.C. when Alexander the Great conquered Palestine. During what was a turbulent period it was controlled briefly by the Hasmonean ruler, Alexander Jannaeus from 96 B.C. before Pompey took it in 63 B.C. It was then given to Cleopatra by Mark Anthony, but when Octavian Augustus won the battle of Actium in 30 B.C. he gave the town as a gift to Herod the Great.\nHerod took twelve years between 25 and 13 B.C. to build a magnificent new capital city and harbour based on Hellenistic architecture. He built palaces, a hippodrome, a theatre, an amphitheatre overlooking the sea, a sewer system and an aqueduct which brought water from Mount Carmel. The harbour was a massive engineering project protected by two long semicircular breakwaters 65 metres wide to the north and south of the entrance. These were constructed with giant mortared stones each more than 15 metres long, 5 metres wide and nearly 3 metres deep, which were sunk to a depth of twenty fathoms. Giant statues were erected at the entrance depicting Augustus and Roma. An inner harbour was dug into the shore to enable ships to berth next to vaulted warehouses.\nHerod renamed the city Caesarea Maritima since his patron had become Caesar Augustus. The port itself was named Limen Sebastos. Caesarea became the capital of the Roman province of Judea for over 600 years. It was also the headquarters for the Roman army occupying Palestine. It was in Caesarea that King Herod Agrippa I, grandson of Herod the Great, was struck down by an angel for accepting the acclaim of the people that he was divine (Acts 12:19-23). It may also have been divine retribution for executing James the brother of the apostle John and for persecuting the church (Acts 12:1-18).\nCaesarea was the strategic focal point in Palestine for the spread of the Gospel to the Gentile world. It is remembered as the place where God led a reluctant Peter to share the good news of Jesus Christ with the Roman centurion Cornelius and his family. They became the first Gentiles to believe and be baptised in the name of Jesus Christ (Acts 10:1-8, 22-48). Philip the evangelist, who led the Ethiopian eunuch to Christ, also lived in Caesarea with his four daughters (Acts 8:26-40; 21:8-9).\nPaul used the port of Caesarea to escape to Tarsus after threats were made to kill him in Jerusalem (Acts 9:30). He also landed at Caesarea after both his second and third missionary journeys (Acts 18:22; 21:8). Later, Paul was held as a prisoner in Caesarea for two years (Acts 23:31-26:32). There, while on trial, God gave Paul the opportunity to make his defence of the Christian faith before the Roman governor Antonius Felix (Acts 24:1-26); his successor, Porcius Festus (Acts 25:1-22); and also King Herod Agrippa II. (Acts 25:23-26:32). From Caesarea Paul was eventually taken to Rome having appealed to be tried before Caesar. The history of Christian witness in Caesarea teaches us that God can use opposition, persecution and even the imprisonment of his servants to spread the Gospel. We must not be discouraged by adversity or intimidated by hostility. The gospel cannot be chained or silenced. The blood of the martyrs is indeed the seed of the Church.\n\u201cNevertheless, there will be no more gloom for those who were in distress. In the past he humbled the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the future he will honour Galilee of the Gentiles, by the way of the sea, along the Jordan\u2013The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned.\u201d (Isaiah 9:1-2)\nThere were three Roman provinces in Jesus\u2019 day, Galilee, Samaria and Judea (Acts 9:31). Galilee was the most northerly of these, extending from Mount Hermon in the north to the Carmel range in the south, and from the Mediterranean coast in the west to the Jordan River in the east.\nGalilee may be divided into two separate regions. Upper Galilee lies to the north of a line from the Bay of Acco to the Sea of Galilee where the hills rise beyond 1,000 metres above sea level. In the days of Christ this region was densely wooded with only a few towns. Lower Galilee which includes the Jezreel Valley is less hilly averaging between 500 to 700 metres above sea level. Here the climate is milder, the soil richer and the population was more dense. Josephus mentions that in his day there were 204 villages in Galilee.\nGalilee is first mentioned in history following the capture of 23 Canaanite towns by Pharaoah Thutmose III in 1468 B.C. Galilee first appears in the Bible with reference to \u201cThe king of Goyim in Gilgal\u201d (Joshua 12:23), probably best translated \u201cking of the nations of Galilee\u201d indicating the presence of distinct ethnic groups living in the area. Into Galilee came the Israelite tribes of Naphtali, Asher, Issaachar and Zebulun, and later, Dan. When Solomon needed to pay Hiram for supplies of wood and gold used in the construction of the Temple in Jerusalem, he offered him 20 towns in Galilee as collateral. Hiram did not regard them of sufficient value and it appears Solomon later settled his debt and recovered the towns when his reserves had been replenished (1 Kings 9:10-14; 2 Chronicles 8:1-2). Around 732 B.C. Tiglath-Pileser, the king of Assyria, deported the Israelites living in Galilee replacing them with people from Babylon and Syria (2 Kings 15:29; 17:24).\nIt was for this reason that Isaiah describes the area as \u201cGalilee of the Gentiles\u201d, because it was a cosmopolitan mix of Jews, Aramaeans, Ituraeans, Phoenicians and Greeks. (Isaiah 9:1; Matthew 4:15). Just prior to the Roman conquest of Palestine in 63 B.C., Aristobulus had compelled these communities to adopt Jewish religious customs and keep the Jewish law. He was not very successful and Galilee developed a reputation for independence and rebellion against authority (Luke 13:1; Acts 5:37). It is not surprising therefore that Galileans evolved their own distinctive accent (Matthew 26:69, 73) and had come to be despised by the more orthodox Jews of Judea in the south. When Nicodemus attempted to ensure Jesus received a fair hearing before the Sanhedrin (see Deuteronomy 1:16-17), they replied sarcastically, \u201cAre you from Galilee too? Look into it and you will find that a prophet does not come out of Galilee.\u201d (John 7:52). Their contempt for Galileans distorted their reading of history for at least one prophet, Jonah, and probably Nahum and Hosea also came from Galilee.\nIt is significant therefore that Jesus chose to fulfil most of his ministry in Galilee. The hills and villages of Galilee provide a vivid backdrop for much of the gospel story. Capernaum, for instance, became his home town (Matthew 9:1). Apart from Judas Iscariot, all his other disciples were Galileans (Matthew 4:18-22; Acts 1:11; 2:7). Jesus performed his first miracle at the wedding in Cana and his last by the Sea of Galilee (John 2:11; 21:4-12). Indeed 25 of his 33 recorded miracles were performed there. Similarly 19 out of 32 of his parables were spoken in Galilee. This may have been because Galilee gave Jesus access to the rest of the Roman Empire and beyond, through the important trade routes which bisected the region. Galilee also enjoyed comparative freedom from the priestly and pharisaical prejudice found in Jerusalem. Before sending his disciples into the world, after his resurrection Jesus told them to return to their familiar Galilee where he met them by the lakeside.\nGalilee was a microcosm of the world. Jesus made his home there, trained his disciples and planned his mission to reach that world from the \u201cGalilee of the Gentiles\u201d. It is tempting to think that if only our circumstances were different, or we were living in another town or country, we could serve the Lord more effectively. The fact is we must start by living out our faith where we are known, at home. That is where we too will encounter the risen Christ.\n\u201cAs Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. \u2018Come, follow me,\u2019 Jesus said, \u2018and I will make you fishers of men.'\u201d (Matthew 4:18-19)\nThe Sea of Galilee is known by four different names in the Bible. In the Old Testament it is first called the \u2018Sea of Kinnereth\u2019 probably because it is harp shaped (Numbers 34:11; Joshua 12:3). In the New Testament Luke alone calls it the \u2018Lake of Gennesaret\u2019 (Luke 5:1). Matthew and Mark call it the \u2018Sea of Galilee\u2019 and John twice calls it the \u2018Sea of Tiberias\u2019 (John 6:1; 21:1). The Sea of Galilee, at 211 metres below sea level, is the lowest fresh water lake in the world. At its widest the Lake is 13 kilometres wide from east to west and 22 kilometres from north to south, forming part of the geological fault which runs from Syria to Africa. Within this rift, the river Jordan flows down from Mount Hermon bringing fresh water into the Sea of Galilee near Capernaum on the northern shore and flows out in the south near Yardenit on its way to the Dead Sea.\nHills surround the Lake like a horseshoe on the west, north and eastern sides. These are between 360-450 metres high and, because the Lake is itself below sea level, abrupt changes in temperature can occur. This causes strong winds to sweep down without warning, leading to violent storms and turbulent waves. The Gospels record several such storms which Jesus and the Disciples encountered while on the Lake (Matthew 8:23-27; 14:22-34).\nIn the First Century A.D. the great abundance of fish and shellfish found in the Lake attracted a large population in an almost continuous belt of settlements along its northern shore. Important fishing towns of more than 15,000 residents included Capernaum and Bethsaida, which means \u2018house of fish\u2019. Conveniently, the Via Maris, the international highway from Egypt to Syria, passed along the northern shore near Capernaum. Around forty different varieties of fish live in the Lake. The most popular, Tilapia, is better known now as \u2018Peter\u2019s fish\u2019 and these and other species were salted and exported all over the Roman Empire. Jesus chose Simon Peter and his brother Andrew, together with James and his brother John from among the fishermen of Galilee to be his disciples. He promised they would become \u2018fishers of men\u2019 (Matthew 4:18-22; Luke 5:1-11). The Sea of Galilee is associated with some of the most dramatic miracles Jesus performed, such as the stilling of the storm (Matthew 8:23-27), the feeding of the 5,000 (Matthew 14:15-21), and the exorcism of the demoniac of Gerasene (Luke 8:26-39). Here too, by the lake side, the Lord revealed himself to the disciples after his resurrection (John 21). Jesus made use of a fishing net to illustrate what it will be like on the day of judgement when the kingdom of heaven is revealed (Matthew 13:47-50) as had the prophet Ezekiel previously (Ezekiel 32:3). The Sea of Galilee was indeed the cradle of the gospel.\nThe hills surrounding the Sea of Galilee are spectacular, and it is easy to imagine Jesus with you there, especially when the sun is shining, glittering on the surface of the Lake. But you don\u2019t have to visit the Sea of Galilee to discover that Jesus is with you and able to still your storms today. Simply see your circumstances, however bleak, from his perspective; allow him full command of your situation; obey his Word and witness his miraculous intervention.\n\u2018It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the Lord bestows his blessing, even life forevermore.\u2019 (Psalm 133:3)\nFrom earliest times Hermon was regarded as a holy place (Psalm 89:12). In Hebrew, Hermon means \u2018sanctuary,\u2019 a sacred or forbidden place. It was known as \u2018Sirion\u2019 among the Phoenicians and \u2018Senir\u2019 among the Amorites (Deuteronomy 3:8-9). The mountain was also called \u2018Baal-Hermon\u2019 in the time of Joshua and the Judges, indicating that it was a sacred place of worship prior to the Hebrew conquest (Judges 3:3). Mount Hermon marked the northern boundary for the people of Israel (Joshua 11:16-17; 12:1). The Greeks later worshipped the god Pan there and named the town on its southern slope \u2018Paneas\u2019. Herod the Great built a marble temple to Augustus Caesar there and Philip the tetrarch renamed the town Caesarea Philippi. In the time of Christ Caesarea Philippi was largely a Gentile frontier town.\nMount Hermon actually comprises three peaks and is the highest mountain in the Levant rising to 2,814 metres. Large quantities of precipitation fall on the mountain, as much as 1,000 metres per year, mostly in the form of snow. The upper slopes remain covered virtually all year. Hermon is the primary source for the Jordan and also feeds the Litani river as well as the Oasis of Damascus. In clear weather, Mount Hermon is visible from great distances. It dominates the landscape. From the Mediterranean Coastal Plain to the Jordan Valley, the snow-capped cone forms the one permanent feature on the northern horizon of Israel. In Biblical times the slopes were apparently covered in thick forests, and a home for lions and leopards (Ezekiel 27:5; Song of Songs 4:8).\nIt is very likely that Mount Hermon is the \u2018high mountain\u2019 on which the Lord Jesus Christ was transfigured (Matthew 17:1-9; Mark 9:2-9; Luke 9:28-37). In the days before, He and his disciples had been ministering in the villages around Caesarea Philippi on the slopes of Mount Hermon. It was also here that Jesus asked His disciples who they thought He was (Matthew 16:13-20). Peter\u2019s affirmation that Jesus was indeed \u2018\u2026the Christ, the Son of the Living God\u2019 (Matthew 16:16), was then confirmed by the dramatic events on the mountain. Peter, James and John were privileged not only to see the Lord Jesus in His eternal glory but also to hear Almighty God affirm that \u2018This is my Son, whom I love, with Him I am well pleased. Listen to Him!\u2019 (Matthew 17:5).\nMountains like Hermon help give us a wider perspective, and to locate ourselves. They are a security, places associated with retreat and prayer (Mark 3:13). Their age and size make us aware of our own mortality and God\u2019s awesome creative power (Psalm 36:5-6). While in exile, David reflected on the depths of the Jordan and the heights of Hermon. They were for him symbols of the source and extent of God\u2019s blessing, His love and protection (Psalm 42:5-11; 133:3).\nThe word used to describe the transfiguration of Jesus is \u2018metamorphosis.\u2019 Amazingly, the same word is used of Christians who are being made like Jesus (Romans 12:1-2). Hermon is a reminder then not only of the transfiguration of Jesus but also of the fact that \u2018we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord\u2019s glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory.\u2019 (2 Corinthians 3:18).\nTherefore we are not discouraged by adversity for we realise that. \u2018\u2026though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.\u2019 (2 Corinthians 4:16-18).\n\u2190 Christian Jihad: A Biblical Basis for Proactive Peacemaking Balfour: Britain\u2019s Broken Promise \u2192",

        "raw_content": "Federal Highway Administration, USA 2005 RLC Study\nOfficial Title: Safety Evaluation of Red-Light Cameras\nAuthors: Forrest M. Council, BMI-SG; Bhagwant Persaud, Ryerson University; Kimberly Eccles, BMI-SG; Craig Lyon, Ryerson University; and Michael S. Griffith, Federal Highway Administration.\nThis is a 2005 study by the Federal Highway Administration(FHWA) on the effects of red-light cameras in 132 intersections across seven municipalities in the USA. This study compares the before and after crash statistics of those RLC intersections using the Bayesian statistical analysis method as well as calculating the estimated economic impact of the presence of RLCs at intersections. The crash statistics used in this study use various distances from 20 to 158 feet as their Distance-From-Intersection inclusion zone for crashes. The study uses from 48 to 108 months of pre-RLC crash data compared to 10 to 60 months of post-RLC data. The statistics used in this analysis are from various state, city and county authorities. The study focuses on the total cost of crashes, not the percent of change in crashes like most of the other studies on the subject do, and in fact no total crash percentage statistics are listed in the summary or conclusions anywhere. Pulling from their total rear-end and right-angle crash statistics, there was a 1% decrease in total crashes across this study at RLC-enabled intersections. Data collected from this study was released in a 2011 USF report that showed a 10% increase in fatalities over the course of this 2005 FHWA study, although it is not specifically cited in the study itself . The final conclusion reached by the study is: \"RLC systems do indeed provide a modest aggregate crash-cost benefit... The indications of a spillover effect point to a need for a more definitive study of this issue\".\nThis is a detailed 98 page study, that uses data collected in differing ways using differing specifications by different jurisdictional entities at various state, county and city levels. There are several mentions of inconsistencies in the data collected, but this is really the largest and most comprehensive multi-state study on the subject that has been released in spite of it's flaws. All of the data used in this study at this point is at least 9 years old, including the economic impact figures that are based on 2001 numbers which have undoubtedly changed in the last 10 years. In spite of the fact that they had stated that this study would be updated it has not been updated in the last 6 years. The lack of any meaningful crash data per jurisdiction being shown, as well as the fact that the municipalities were guaranteed anonymity in the limited reporting of crash data that is shown means that the data is not verifiable. Since fatalities were excluded from the crash costs in this study, and the fatalities increased during the study period, if those fatalities are included in the calculations the crash costs are shown to increase after RLCs were installed. The conclusions are supported by the limited and unverifiable data that is shown.\nThis study has a thorough analysis of other previously released studies on the issue of RLC safety issues, and concludes that \"most studies are tainted by methodological difficulties that raise questions about any conclusions from them\". Specifically the Oxnard, CA study is criticized for its failure to \"separate the specific effects at treatment sites from citywide effects\".\nFHWA_USA_2005.pdf",

        "title": "Ethanol and E85 - Fuels Of The Future?",
        "raw_content": "Ethanol and E Fuels Of The Future\nPure ethanol or E100 is also known as ethyl alcohol or grain alcohol. It is made when corn, grain, or other agricultural products are fermented, distilled, and denatured and because of this, it is a continually renewable resource, a true benefit in the world of alternative fuels. Another benefit is the fact that, unlike many other, mainly petroleum based, fuels, it contributes nothing to the build-up of greenhouse gases. Because of its renewable nature, it is possible to extensively reduce a nation's dependence on foreign oil products.Pure ethanol is never used as an alternative fuel, but ethanol blends are.\nFor example, E10 is a fuel made of 10 percent ethanol and blended with 90 percent gasoline. The most common blend is E85, a fuel made of 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline.E85 is officially classified by the U.S.\nDepartment of Energy as an alternative energy fuel. It could be used in most cars today that are run on gasoline with some modification, and new, flexible fuel vehicles, are being developed that could use E85. Recently, lobbyists have been pushing for its use in FFVs or flexible fuel vehicles, alternative vehicles that have a lesser impact on the environment than today's gas guzzling cars.E85 Properties.Why is E85 gaining in popularity to the point that lines of vehicles are being developed that will run on it alone? Compare it to the properties of gasoline, and see for yourself:\nIt is a renewable resource\nReduces smog and emissions\n96 octane to 86-94 octane in gasoline\n12,500 lower heating value to 18,000-19,000 lower heating value of gasoline\n1.4 gallons of E85 is equal to 1 gallon gasoline\nPer gallon, E85 gets 72% of the miles that gasoline gets\nHolding tank is 1.\n4 times larger than a gasoline holding tank\nIn cold weather, E85 starts the car as well as gasoline\nVehicle power is increased 3-5% with E85\nFlexible Fuel Vehicles (FFV).A flexible fuel vehicle is a car that runs on any ethanol blend, E85 or less, and can also run on regular unleaded gas. They have been in production for almost a decade and continue to be built by some major car manufacturers including Ford, GM, Mercury, Isuzu, and more.Over 2 million of today's vehicles are flexible fuel vehicles, which can run on ethanol, gasoline, or a mixture of the two.\nYou may own one of these FFV's without even being aware of it. Some of the benefits of flexible fuel vehicles include:\nEmissions that create smog are reduced 25 percent\nCost effectiveness is equal to that of cars run on gasoline\nSimilar warranties and original equipment are manufactured as they are for gasoline run vehicles\nEmissions that create greenhouse gases are reduced 35 to 40 percent\nVehicle horsepower increased up to 5 percent\nFuel is renewable\nNew vehicles can be ordered with a flexible fuel engine option\nMore and more E85 pumps are springing up all over the country\nGasoline can be mixed with any amount of E85 if E85 is not available\nHybrid Vehicles And Ethanol.Most cars, including hybrid cars have no problems with a 10 percent ethanol blend. However, at this time, the combination of E85 and the hybrid car is only slowly making its way from the drawing board to the highway. Some instances have occurred where the two have been combined, but these are primarily in fleet situations and concept cars so far.\nHowever, it shouldn't be too long before you can buy a hybrid car that will run on E85.Drawbacks of E85.There are a few disadvantages to E85 at this point in the game, though they hardly outweigh the benefits.\nThe cost of E85 is formidable due to the cost of the fermentation process but research has already begun to develop a new and cheaper fermentation process that utilizes lower-grade feed stocks.\nEthanol is quite a bit more corrosive than gasoline, which could lead to engine problems.\nIssues of things like vapor lock, flame visibility, and cold starts have experts concerned.\nThe miles per gallon of E85 is less efficient than the miles per gallons of gasoline.\nIt's not easy to find E85 gasoline tanks because distribution is difficult.\nOne present disadvantage that DOES outweigh the ecological value for the consumer is the scarcity of locations selling E85. This will probably continue to change over time however.\nFor those in the military, there are some military bases where E85 can be found.Despite the limitations, ethanol based alternative fuels like E85 are an incredible improvement over the use of gasoline.Some car manufacturers are offering to upgrade regular engines to E85 capability for no cost, and the fact that flexible fuel vehicles are not reliant upon E85 but can use gasoline in any combination with the ethanol blend makes it a simple choice.\nScientists and researchers are working on ways to fix the remaining issues. This new technology is more than a trend but the direction in which the future is taking drivers.You can learn more about alternative fuels and flexible fuel vehicles, including what vehicles are flexible fuel vehicles, and where to find E85, at the United States Government's Alternative Fuel Data Center.You can locate them online at http://www.eere.\nenergy.gov/afdc/infrastructure/fuel_inf.html.\nThe author is retired from the Army after 21 years of service, has worked as an accountant, optical lab manager, restaurant manager, and instructor.He has been a member of Mensa for several years, and has written and published poetry, essays, and articles on various subjects for the last 40 years. He is keenly interested in the fuels of the future, America's dependence on foreign oil, the physical limits of stores of petroleum based products, and the futures of his grandchildren.

        "raw_content": "Search - Broken Arrow [Blu-ray] on Blu-ray\nActors: John Travolta, Christian Slater, Samantha Mathis, Delroy Lindo, Frank Whaley\nWhen a B-3 Stealth Bomber crashes in the Utah desert during a top-secret test run, the military quickly moves in to retrieve its two \"broken arrows.\" But the situation spins wildly out of control after one of the pilots ... more \u00bbreveals the crash to be part of an incredible nuclear extortion plot. \u00ab less\nSub-Genres: John Travolta, John Woo\nFormat: Blu-ray - Color,Anamorphic - Subtitled\nTravolta's Ultra-Cool Villainy\n\"A vast improvement over \"Hard Target\" (1993), director John Woo finds his Hollywood niche in this fast-paced thriller. Though it doesn't match the kinetic flair of Woo's Hong Kong epics, \"Broken Arrow\" (1996) delivers plenty of serial-style action while utilizing the Southern Utah landscape to striking effect. The film's raison d'\u00eatre lies in the charismatic villainy of John Travolta - who has a wonderful time playing a traitorous military pilot and nuclear blackmailer. Christian Slater's efficient heroics are a good match for Travolta's diabolical cool. \"Broken Arrow\" is cheerfully preposterous and endlessly entertaining. Classic dialogue: \"Would you mind not shooting at the thermonuclear weapons?\"\"\nBroken Arrow...Yes it is cool!!\nPATRICK J.POWERS | Duncombe,IA | 05/06/2007\n\"Catching a line from this movie the suspense in this movie is \"cool\". John Travolta and Christian Slater are at odds in this 1996 movie on the theft of two nuclear warheads in rugged terrain of Utah. At times it has you on the edge of your seat. It certainly is a far cry from Travolta's roles in Grease and Saturday Night Fever but one of his best!!\"\nNot broken...yet...\nNick | Walnut Creek, CA, USA | 02/21/2000\n\"Broken Arrow, in 1996 it electified the big screen as John Travolta and Christian Slater Duke it out in an orgy of explosions and action...now its out on dvd. Well, ok, that is a very good thing, but let me tell you about it really. It is a very good movie, with some excellent directing by John Woo, not to mention good acting by Travolta and Slater. Also, there are some great one-liners, also the story is not lack-luster, and is in fact anything but, it is well thought out and surpasses by a longshot those other action gore-fests that are just that, gory action -- no brains. Over all this movie is very well done. I give it five stars.\"\nNon-stop ACTION & SUSPENSE\nCoyote | South Dakota, USA | 01/24/2002\n\"If you love action and adventure, this is a definite must-see! Christian Slater and John Travolta make a perfect good guy vs. villian mix, and while the plot may be a bit far out, you will never notice. The action will draw you in and keep you spellbound until the last scene. Mathis's role as the park ranger helping Slater save the day is a bit strained at times, but the effort is valiant, and by the end she's an old pro. Travolta's one-liners definitely make the movie. If you're going to be the bad guy, you've gotta have a stack of suave comebacks and wisecracks, and boy, has he got it! ....\"Please try NOT to shoot at the thermonuclear weapons\" from behind clenched teeth gets me every time. It's clear that though this is an action movie, it's also a mind game. Travolta's comments let the viewer inside his head, to feel like you are really there....\"You're out of your mind!\"......\"Yeah, ain't it COOL?\"....You bet it is -- and the stunts will leave you gasping in wonder. From Mathis's near disembowelment by a thwocking chopper blade to Travolta's frantic attempts to catch his getaway pilot's attention, it's all fantastic. Howie Long is also fantastic as Kelly, one of Travolta's goons.All in all, quite spetacular. I recommend it to everyone, but get your snacks before it starts because you won't want to miss a minute!\"\nIt's a hell of a Bang\nMartijn Langenhuijsen | Berlicum, NB Netherlands | 08/23/2000\n\"Great movie. The action scenes are intense and perfect. John Travolta as Deakins is magnificent because of his mimic and fantastic acting. The special effect are very good. And last but not least the explosions are great, big and a great sound. If you have not seen it rent it on DVD because of the sound,- and picture quality. Have fun!\"",

        "raw_content": "T'ai Chi Chih From The Inside Out\nEnergy practices like TCC can sometimes feel different to each person practicing. Ultimately in TCC, we\u2019re all circulating the Chi. What does that mean? How does that feel? Below is an excerpt from one teacher\u2019s story.\nTo watch videos of TCC practice like this one, see the tccabq channel on YouTube.\nHovering Or Landing?\nBy CG, Lake Charles, Louisiana\nI just re-read The Vital Force and appreciated everyone\u2019s honesty and willingness to share experiences. In almost every article, there was a sentence, a word and a paragraph that sent goose bumps through my whole body. What a conference it was. Thank you to all involved, to the ones who presented and those who attended. See you next summer. In joy! So if I may, I would like to join the conversation about the \u201chold or not to hold\u201d in the graceful conclusion.\nFor the longest time in my practice, I would stay in the graceful conclusion and start the next movement from there. My knees and my legs eventually got used to it. After all, this was the way I learned it at my accreditation in June 1999. At some point after I started teaching, I traveled to Albuquerque as much as possible to practice with the community of teachers there and to learn from Justin. I did this several times a year for many years. The Albuquerque teachers met every Tuesday morning to practice with Justin, and I made sure to be there. I could see differences in how those of us who were from out of town were moving. In my mind, I had an explanation for this: I \u201cexcused\u201d Justin because he was getting older, or I decided it wasn\u2019t an important principle, and so on. I guess we want to see only what we care to see. Like Amy expressed so well in her article, we are all at different levels of understanding and have layers of conditioning to work through.\nSo, even though I would see Justin standing, at ease and in a relaxed manner, in between movements, I kept doing what I had always done. He patiently waited for each of us to release the close and then we would go on to the next movement. Then, one day, after practice, I dared ask him about holding the close and he answered, \u201cIt is all continuous, dear.\u201d This puzzled me for years to come and reinforced my belief that what I was doing was okay. I did my best to make the practice \u201call continuous.\u201d\nWhen did it all change for me? At the first Minnesota conference, years ago, we were practicing T\u2019ai Chi Chih in a circle and my gaze fell on Dora Derzon (whom I didn\u2019t know then) and thought, \u201cI need to go and practice next to her.\u201d At the next opportunity, I asked if I could stand by her and if she would care to correct anything she thought needed improvement. At the end of Rocking Motion, she encouraged me to really ground. I thought I had been grounding when I concluded each movement, but I suddenly realized that I was not. Her advice jolted me from what I now call a \u201cHovering Conclusion\u201d to a \u201cLanding Conclusion.\u201d\nIt was surprising, powerful and liberating all at once \u2013 sinking deeper with the knees, solid in grounding the energy, hands held parallel to the floor, followed by a complete release of the knees and wrists and the whole body and breathing\u2026.

Although there was no rain today, yesterday saw some significant storms and the trail was wet and soggy. The trail was wet and had many puddles for most of the first part of the hike. Additionally, there were some stream crossings that required a bit of bushwhacking to find a suitable crossing. Then the trail headed up to a bluff over Eno River that was quite scenic, before heading back down to more soggy trail and un-bridged stream crossings. It cleared up for a bit towards the end, but at the very end of the trail, just before going up to Old Oxford Highway, the trail was completely flooded for a hundred meters or so. We went around the flooded part and got back on the trail to head up to the road, the end of the Falls Lake Trail. The MST follows the road from here to West Point on the Eno. But that is a hike for another day. So we turned around and headed back. And it was just as wet and soggy on the return trip.",

The conservative kingdom is currently the only country where the act of women driving is forbidden.\nThe move was announced on television and also by the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs, with the royal decree mandating the creation of a ministerial body to give advice on the practicalities of the edict within 30 days and a full implementation of the order by June 2018.\nThe royal decree will implement the provisions of traffic regulations,including the issuance of driving licences for men and women alike,\u201d the state-run Saudi Press Agency said.\nSaudi Arabia is a Muslim monarchy ruled according to Sharia law,with the royal decree stipulating that the new rules must \u201capply and adhere to the necessary Sharia standards\u201d.

        "raw_content": "Pic: Friends Lured Popular Festac Businessman Out To His Death, Threw His 3 Phones Into Lagos River (Details)\nDetectives attached to the Inspector- General of Police Special Intelligence Response Team (IRT), have arrested four men for allegedly killing Mr. Emmanuel Uba, alias Owan, at the Festac area of Lagos State.\nThe suspects; Michael Fashola (32), Mufutau Tokosi (35), Abidemi Adeleye (41) and Fatai Onifade (41) alias Apashe, were arrested after a manhunt for them in Festac Town for two weeks, before they were finally arrested last week.\nAccording to the suspects, they killed Uba because he was fond of intimidating them.\nHe was also said to be too popular in Festac Town for their liking. They allegedly decided to kill him in order to have control of the community.\nThe suspects were arrested based on a petition written by the victim\u2019s family to the IGP, Ibrahim Idris, urging that he should use every lawful means to fish out the killers of their son.\nThe IGP was said to have transferred the case to Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), Abba Kyari, in charge of IRT for further investigation. One of the suspects, Fashola, said that the deceased was a friend to the four of them before they parted ways after a disagreement.\nFashola further said: \u201cWe were all together at Festac before the Lagos State local government election. During the election, we had different candidates we were working for. Uba wanted us to work for his own candidate, but we refused and just because we refused to work with him, he started sending his boys to attack my boys and I. During one of the attacks, I was shot on my chest.\n''We decided to kill him because of his popularity in the community; I believed then that if we didn\u2019t kill him, it would be difficult for us to survive.\u201d Fashola was said to have contracted the three others to kill Uba.\nAfter killing him, they took his three phones and threw them into a nearby river in order to avoid being tracked by the police. A police source said: \u201cIt was Adeleye, who went and tricked Uba out of his house, while Fashola used his own car to block the deceased\u2019s car.\nTokosi and Fashola rode on a motorbike to the spot where Uba was blocked. They shot him on the head and escaped.\u201d\nNarrating his own story, Adeleye said the plan initially was to frighten Uba, not to kill him.\nAdeleye added: \u201cYes, I was the person that went to his house to lure him out. I told him that he should come so that we could settle whatever differences were between his group and ours. He followed me willingly.\n''When we got to 7th Avenue, Festac Town, Fashola\u2019s car blocked Uba\u2019s car. Tokosi and Fashola came to the scene on a motorbike. They threatened him and to my shock, I heard a gunshot and we all escaped.\n''We were later arrested at different locations in Festac Town.'' Speaking, Tokosi said: \u201cI invited Fashola to come when the heat was becoming too much for us. He was the one who brought the Berretta Pistol and Pump Action Rifle we used for the operation.\n''When we got to the scene, I never knew the pistol was already cocked. Before I knew what was happening, the gun exploded and hit him on the head.\u201d One of the police investigators countering Fashola\u2019s story said: \u201cTokosi is lying!\n''He was the person that pulled the trigger and killed the victim. He shot him three times on the head, just to ensure that he was dead. When they are sure he was dead, they ran away from the scene.\u201d\nThe Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Edgal Imohimi, who paraded the suspects, said they would be charged to court after completion of the investigation.\nLabels: Crime, Killing, News, Politics",

        "raw_content": "One Health Researchers Identify Hot Spots of Tick-borne Diseases in Mongolia\nMONGOLIA - Given the critical role livestock play in Mongolia, transmission of tick-borne diseases can have very real health and economic implications for livestock and the herders that tend to them.\nDr Michael von Fricken explored this association using a multidisciplinary One Health research approach, which focused on the interaction between nomadic herders, the livestock they own, and the tick-borne diseases they are exposed to. Dr von Fricken spent a year living in Ulaanbataar as a postdoc with Duke University, under Dr Greg Gray, working alongside veterinarians from the Institute of Veterinary Medicine and the National Center for Zoonotic Diseases.\nNow an Assistant Professor in the Department of Global and Community Health, which is part of George Mason University's College of Health and Human Services, Dr von Fricken and his colleagues recently published their findings on two tick-borne diseases in Acta Tropica, \"Estimated seroprevalence of Anaplasma spp. and spotted fever group Rickettsia exposure among herders and livestock in Mongolia.\"\nThis study is unique given the under-studied target population of Mongolian herders, and the diverse landscapes covered, ranging from the arid Gobi region to the south to the Central Steppe and Altai Mountains to the north. In this study, Dr von Fricken and his team (Dr Boldbaatar Bazartseren and Dr Lkhagvatseren Sukhbaatar) tested serum for antibodies indicative of previous exposure to Anaplasma and spotted fever group (SFG) Rickettsia, two tick-borne diseases in the region that can have very serious effects on humans.\nSFG Rickettsia infections typically cause fever, rash, abdominal pain, and may even cause death due to heart and kidney failure in more severe infections. While SFG Rickettsia species are non-pathogenic in livestock, Anaplasma spp. can cause weight loss, fever, spontaneous abortion, and even death in infected livestock. One species in particular, Anaplasma phagocytophilum, the causative agent of Human Granulocytic Anaplasmosis, can result in kidney failure if left untreated.\n\"By relying on One Health methodologies, we are investigating the broader implications for risk of disease transmission. That includes not just human health, but that of livestock and the environments they live in,\" Dr von Fricken explained. \"This makes for much richer datasets that can be used to identify key factors driving disease exposures that may be missed using siloed research approaches.\"\nThe research team detected high rates of previous Anaplasma spp. and SFG Rickettsia in their human and livestock samples. Humans were significantly more likely to have been exposed to a tick-borne disease in the northern provinces of Mongolia compared to samples collected from the Gobi Desert region.\n\"Seroprevalence studies --those that test the presence of a disease in blood serum--are great tools to identify populations or locations of interest. Findings from this study make a case for expanded tick-borne disease research in northern Mongolia, as it appears to be a hot spot for pathogen exposure, which is something we plan to investigate with partners in Mongolia.\"\nWhile the prevalence of exposure to these diseases in some regions has been documented, the presence in Terelj National Park (in Tov province) is of particular concern, as it is a common international destination for hiking and tourism.\n\"The Mongolian countryside is profoundly beautiful and holds a special place in my heart. If you ever get a chance to visit Mongolia, I highly recommend you take it, just take precautions to avoid tick bites and be sure to check for ticks after any outdoor activities,\" Dr von Fricken recommends.\nHealth and Treatment, Welfare, General, Farmer/Worker Health & Safety, Diagnostics",

        "title": "The Daily Fitness Journal: Featured Post: Apparel Review for Augusta Sportswear",
        "raw_content": "Featured Post: Apparel Review for Augusta Sportswear\nAugusta Sportswear sent me a few products of theirs a couple months ago to try out and let them know what I thought. The company provided me with two tech tees, a pair of wicking fleece sweatpants, and a rain jacket. Over the last couple months, I have worn all of the items several times and washed them a number of times as well. I will review each piece individually, except the tech tees as they are essentially the same product, just different colors.\nFirst off, the sweatpants. The graphite color sweats I received upon first look, seemed well made. On the site, $26.99 seems like a great price for the pants. The feel, as well as the true to size fit, make these pants a winner. I wore them pre race on a cool morning and they kept my lower half warm through my warmups, until I went to shorts for the race. I also like them post race or workout as a soft, relaxing fit to recover in. The fit was right on and I didn't feel like they were too tight or too baggy, which I cannot stand.\nSecond, the rain jacket I received has strangely gone unused for the most part. As it has been drier here in NJ for months, I have only worn it on a run once in the rain and one other, non running time. I like the jacket for the most part. It did the job and I would definitely recommend it. The water resistant quality works well, I would always prefer a hood for a rain jacket though. I don't necessarily wear the hood on a run, but I want that option. That being said, for the price of about $36, you cannot beat the value. There are a lot of running jackets out there that charge over $100 for the same thing. This is a great alternative, without sacrificing anything.\nFinally, the technical shirts. These I wore the most. As a runner and a Physical Education teacher, I wore them in both roles and unequivocally, I love the shirts. They are comfortable, sized well, and affordable. As tech materials has been out for awhile, it is now more evident when you pick up a quality garment as compared to a lower quality one. I have worn, washed, bagged, traveled with, used, etc. these shirts and three things stick out. First, the size is the same today as before the first time I wore them. Second, the color is the same as well. There has been no fade, now yellowing of the white shirt, nothing noticeably different at all. Finally, there have been no fabric pulls at all as well. This drives me insane about some of the tech tees out on the market, most notably cheap race shirts. The density of the fabric protects it from pulls, and keeps the feel of the shirt at a premium level. Also, the price points of the shirt between $8-$20 each, depending on style and color, is easily competitive, and in most cases better than big brand competitors.\nAcross all pieces of Augusta Active wear, it is obvious that quality workmanship has been used. The clothing is premium look and design, with great prices. I feel great about recommending the products for your fitness needs, as well as your Physical Education and sport needs too! Augusta has a wide range of clothing for coaches as well as athletes. They also have a great line of accessories and provide a wide range of styles and varieties. You can visit them online at Augusta Active and at the following links:\nhttps://twitter.com/augustaactive\nhttps://www.instagram.com/augustaactive/\nhttps://www.facebook.com/augustaactive\nhttps://www.pinterest.com/augustaactive/\nI was provided products for review and have posted this review. I was not compensated for my review in any way. My views and those expressed in this blog post are my own and reflect my direct review of the products mentioned.",

        "raw_content": "Were the Dolphins a playoff contender last year? \u00ab previous next \u00bb\nAuthor Topic: Were the Dolphins a playoff contender last year? (Read 164 times)\nWere the Dolphins a playoff contender last year?\nJust curious as to how you define what a playoff contender is.\nI think they were because they were not eliminated until the second to last week of the regular season.\nRe: Were the Dolphins a playoff contender last year?\nIf that's the case, then they were a playoff contender. Big difference between being a playoff contender and a championship contender.\nI would day if in the last two weeks you have a realistic shot. Win plus one other team lose you are in the hunt. Win plus 3 other team must lose, then you aren't really in it even if mathematically possible.\nTo simply answer the OP I would say no they were not a contender because they didn't make the playoffs.\nIMO a playoff \"contender\" indicates a team that will make the playoffs, and have a reasonable chance of winning a playoff game.\nHowever, the OP follows up his contender statement, with the timing of being eliminated from the possibility of making the playoffs, which I regard as something totally different.\nTo that statement I would ask \"when does the playoff hunt begin?\" Is it two weeks left? three? four?\nIMO to be truly considered in the hunt, you need to control your own destiny...win out and your in. Some seasons there may be some exceptions, such as a team going 11-5 and not making the playoffs; but a 9 win season doesn't cut it.\nIf you aren't eliminated before week 17 starts, you're definitely contending. If you aren't eliminated by the start of week 16 and you're in the 8 seed or higher (or the division is still in play) you're contending. If neither of those are the case, you're not in contention.\nQuote from: masterfins on February 08, 2019, 05:07:05 pm\nI think control your own destiny is a bit too strict.\nLet say week 17 you need to win and one of three games need to go your way....I would say you are still in contention, even though you don\u2019t control your own destiny. OTOH, you need to win and 3 out of 3 other games need to go your way then you really aren\u2019t in contention \u2014 you are praying for a miracle.\nSo basically, you're saying that a team that \"really isn't in contention\" for the playoffs can still make the playoffs? That's a strange definition of \"contention.\"\nIf you are not eliminated, you have to be in contention for the playoffs. Otherwise it's a useless term.\nQuote from: Spider-Dan on February 09, 2019, 11:13:26 pm\nI am going with realistic contention. If we go with not mathematical eliminated then the Jets were still in contention up until like week 13\nAt the beginning of week 1, every team is in both mathematical and realistic playoff contention.\nI just don't like the idea of saying that the Colts were not in \"realistic playoff contention\" at 1-5 when they actually made the playoffs.\nI think the bigger question is, What does it matter if they were a playoff contender They didn't make the playoffs. To me that is the only thing I care about.\nQuote from: Dolphster on February 11, 2019, 08:48:42 am\nI think the underlying notion (at least for me) is that if the Dolphins were considered a \"playoff contender\" last year, then why the need to go into full on rebuilding mode. If they were a contender then just try and add the two or three needed players to get them over the hump and into the playoffs.\nGood point, I'll go along with that.",

        "raw_content": "Home Costa de Almeria Mojacar MOJ\u00c1CAR\u2019S NEW PROMENADE WILL NOT CAUSE JOB LOSSES\nMoj\u00e1car Council recently held an extraordinary plenary session at the request of the Corporation\u2019s opposition members to discuss their aim of modifying the layout of the next phase of Moj\u00e1car\u2019s promenade. Also, a request was made to revoke the original project\u2019s approved expropriations and, to ask the Direcci\u00f3n General de Costas to make an alternative route.\nThe opposition presented a plan they had made, which envisaged reducing the width of the promenade and moving the cycle path to the area by the road, with the object of reducing the impact on the beach bars.\nIn turn, Rosa Mar\u00eda Cano, Moj\u00e1car\u2019s Mayor, expressed her surprise at the opposition for not raising any objections during the legal deadline for doing so. The plans were publicly available in July last year and they did not come forward with any complaint or alternative during the year, before its approval by the Costas.\nThe PP (Popular Party) group of Moj\u00e1car\u2019s Municipal Government believes that the plan submitted through the Direcci\u00f3n General de Costas is the best possible, in order to continue with the same structural line as the previous sections, whilst maintaining the aesthetics and achieving the concept of the Paseo Mar\u00edtimo extension.\nRosa Mar\u00eda Cano assured the bar owners that the chiringuitos will not, under any circumstances, be below the level of the promenade wall or lose their sea views, as the plan will be scaled to a height so that this situation cannot arise.\nWith regard to the relocation of the cycle path to pass in front of the entrances to the beach bars alongside the road traffic, the Mayor stated that the engineers have advised against this on the grounds of danger to both cyclists and pedestrians.\nAs for the fear that many workers could possibly lose their job, she said that the Paseo Mar\u00edtimo\u2019s new section \u201cwill not take away anyone\u2019s job, on the contrary, it will be much more attractive for people to enter as at the moment they are not visible from the road\u201d citing those chiringuitos that are functioning perfectly well in the existing stretches of promenade as an example.\nOn the subject of the alleged lack of dialogue with those affected, the Mayor stressed that she is continuing to hold meetings to reach agreements on the expropriations, which she hopes will continue through further discussions.\nThe motion submitted by the opposition groups was rejected, by five votes in favour and eight against.\nAnother burning item on the agenda was the controversy raised by a group of professional DJs due to their conceived impossibility of being able to work in Moj\u00e1car. The Mayor reminded them of the need for premises to have the appropriate license and adequate facilities for hiring them, an essential legal requirement.\nMojacar Promenade\nPrevious articleSAN MIGUEL GOLF SOCIETY AT ALICANTE.

        "raw_content": "Time For \u201cA New Generation Of Leadership\u201d For Democrats Running For The Presidency\nThe Democratic Party needs \u201cnew blood\u201d running for President in 2020, just as it had in John F. Kennedy in 1960; Jimmy Carter in 1976; Bill Clinton in 1992; and Barack Obama in 2008.\nThis is not the time for \u201cold\u201d leadership, meaning another run for the White House by Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden. Anyone reading this blog knows of my great admiration for Biden, but at age 78 in 2020, it is too late, in the author\u2019s opinion, for him to be a serious alternative. And as much as Hillary Clinton has an exceptional background, having run for President twice, and being still seen by many as a divisive figure, and being 73 in 2020, it is proper to say that her time has passed.\nIt is also NOT the time for Bernie Sanders, who despite his strong support, is not really a cooperative member of the Democratic Party, not having been a member until he decided to run for President, and now backing away again from membership in the party. His age in 2020, 79, also makes him far from a good choice for such a demanding job.\nWhat about Elizabeth Warren? She will be 71 in 2020 and is an inspiring person, but the problem of misogyny that Hillary Clinton faced, which was a factor in her defeat, argues against Warren, as she has been cast in a negative light by many, for her vehement and outspoken manner. This blogger admires her, but finds it hard to believe she could win in the 2020 Presidential race.\nSo basically, what we need is someone not thought about before, and there are a multitude of candidates one can think of to consider for 2020.\nSenator Tim Kaine of Virginia, (62 in 2020) )Hillary Clinton\u2019s Vice Presidential running mate, is one, as is his fellow Virginian, Senator Mark Warner (65 in 2020). But both are seen by many as too moderate centrist, not appealing to the Bernie Sanders supporters in 2016.\nThere is Senator Sherrod Brown of Ohio, (68 in 2020), who was thought of as an alternative running mate for Clinton, and who might have helped keep the white working class in Ohio and elsewhere for the Democrats in 2016.\nThere is also Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut, who would be 47 in 2020, and comes across as very appealing in appearance and views on the issues.\nThen, there is Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey, who would be 51 in 2020, but is seen as too centrist by many, and being African American, after the racism so evident during the term of Barack Obama, one wonders if that would be a problem.\nAnd there are also Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota (60 in 2020)and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New York (54 in 2020), but being females might be a negative factor, sad to say.\nAdditionally, there is Senator Jeff Merkley of Oregon (64 in 2020), the only Democrat to endorse Bernie Sanders in 2016.\nLess likely possibilities include Senator Chris Coons of Delaware (57 in 2020); Senator Al Franken of Minnesota (69 in 2020); Senator Kamala Harris of California (56 in 2020); and Senator Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island (65 in 2020).\nOther than the US Senate, the only possible gubernatorial Presidential possibilities that seem reasonable are New York Governor Andrew Cuomo (62 in 2020), and California Lieutenant Governor and likely next Governor Gavin Newsom (53 in 2020), former Mayor of San Francisco.\nTrying to figure out this early who might indeed run is really difficult, but one can assume that a good number of these 18 possibilities will actually enter the Presidential race.\nFirst thoughts on this would be that Chris Murphy, Cory Booker, Amy Klobuchar, Andrew Cuomo, and Gavin Newsom would have the best chance, with all likely to be candidates. All are young enough, and have a record of accomplishment worthy of consideration. But also, it is likely that Mark Warner, Sherrod Brown, and Elizabeth Warren will also announce for President, and others might as well.\nOf course, someone not yet thought of, who might be elected to the governorship or the Senate in 2018, might be added to the list.\nAnd, one cannot eliminate someone from outside the political system, likely a businessman or media or entertainment star, could enter the race, and one cannot project against such a person having a real chance to be the Democratic Presidential nominee.\nOne must recall that John F. Kennedy had the issue of Catholicism that was a problem; Jimmy Carter the Southern issue and basically unknown nationally; Bill Clinton having the ethics and morality issue; and Barack Obama having the racial problem.\nNo one would have predicted three years before their elections that any of them would have been the nominee of the party, let alone the next Presidency of the United States!\nNews and Politics\tAl Franken, Amy Klobuchar, Andrew Cuomo, Barack Obama, Bernie Sanders, Bill Clinton, California, Chris Coons, Chris Murphy, Connecticut, Cory Booker, Delaware, Democratic Party, Elizabeth Warren, Gavin Newsom, Hillary Clinton, Jeff Berkley, Jimmy Carter, Joe Biden, John F.

W. Bush\u2019s expertise, but had little personal regard for Bush, and the Bushes were never invited to dinner at the White House during the eight years of their association.\nBush certainly had little faith and trust in Dan Quayle during his Presidency, and the nation knew it, and worried about the incompetence of Quayle.\nBob Dole\u2019s selection of Jack Kemp in 1996 to be his running mate as Vice President certainly was not as a result of friendship or warmth, and they seemed an ill fit, often disagreeing during the campaign.\nGeorge W. Bush selected Dick Cheney in 2000 due to his vast experience, and allowed himself to be dominated in the first term, but their association soured dramatically in the second term.\nJohn McCain seems to have been forced to select Sarah Palin in 2008, and Palin helped to undermine McCain, but McCain continues to defend Palin even today, although it seems clear how uncomfortable he is when answering questions about Palin.\nThe Mitt Romney-Paul Ryan connection in 2012 seems also not to have been one of great warmth and friendship.\nAnd Mike Pence is squirming a lot as Vice Presidential running mate for Donald Trump, seeing Trump contradict him openly and making clear his lack of regard for Pence, including being upset that Pence performed better in his debate with Tim Kaine, than Trump did with Hillary Clinton in their three Presidential debates.\nNews and Politics\tBob Dole, Dan Quayle, Democratic Party, Dick Cheney, Donald Trump, George H W Bush, George W.

Kaine clearly won the debate with his arguments, his aggressiveness, and his personality, while Pence was a \u201csleepy\u201d and \u201clow energy\u201d opponent.\nAnd yet, the Republicans are claiming they \u201cwon\u201d the debate, and in fact, did, according to a CNN poll by 48 to 42, which is seen as simply the fact that Pence was more stable in his performance than Trump was in the first Presidential debate.\nBut many observers are saying Pence did more to help himself in a future potential Presidential bid in 2020, than he was able to improve Donald Trump\u201ds public image.\nIt is clear that Hillary Clinton won the first Presidential debate, and her lead has surged to five to six points in most polls in \u201cswing\u201d states, with only Iowa and Ohio among \u201cswing\u201d states as outliers at the moment.\nTim Kaine is in the tradition of previous Democratic Vice Presidents Walter Mondale, Al Gore, and Joe Biden!\nNews and Politics\t\"Swing States\", Al Gore, CNN Public Opinion Poll, Democratic Party, Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, Iowa, Joe Biden, Mike Pence, Ohio, Presidential Election Of 2016, Presidential Election Of 2020, Republican Party, Tim Kaine, Vice Presidency, Vice Presidential Debate, Walter Mondale\nA Real Choice For The Future: Tim Kaine Vs. Mike Pence, One Of Whom Could Be The 46th President Of The United States!\nLittle attention has been paid by news media to the upcoming Vice Presidential debate, but it really does matter.\nOne of these two men\u2013Virginia Democratic Senator Tim Kaine or Indiana Republican Governor Mike Pence\u2013will be a heartbeat away from the Presidency, and with their \u201cboss\u201d being either the second oldest or the oldest President at inauguration, that raises the possibility of succession, either by natural causes or by the hated thought of assassination, something that cannot be limited as a potential possibility in a very unsafe environment, both domestic and foreign.\nAnd even if everything goes well, either man could be the heir apparent, and run for the Oval Office four or eight years hence.\nIt will be interesting to see their body language, their expressions, their knowledge level, their depth, their personality, as neither is known well by the general public.\nWhile both can be said to be basically competent for the job they seek, a look at the public record and utterances of both makes clear that Tim Kaine is, by far, the preferable choice, as he is a mainstream Democrat, while Pence is connected to the right wing of the Republican Party, and has consorted with the Tea Party element in the party in his earlier years in the House of Representatives. Pence has come across as mean spirited, as in the case of an African American man convicted without just cause, finally gaining his freedom with a reversal of his wrongful conviction, but wanting a complete pardon so that his record is expunged, and unable to move ahead in his private life until such happens. But Pence is slow and reluctant to do anything, and one has to wonder, if the race of the individual is a factor.\nBeing willing to support Donald Trump, no matter what he says or does, might be understandable for a running mate, but it also indicates a lack of principle in asserting his own freedom from the most outrageous Presidential nominee in American history.\nKaine, by comparison, is a humane, decent, genuine, sincere man, who works well \u201cacross the aisle\u201d in the Senate, and is admired and liked by many Republican Senators. He has social compassion for the poor, as when he did church work in Honduras, and learned the Spanish language. This is the kind of a man we need to be a heartbeat away from the Presidency, and one can be sure he will be utilized by Hillary Clinton effectively, as has been the case with Joe Biden under Barack Obama, Al Gore under Bill Clinton, and Walter Mondale under Jimmy Carter.\nNews and Politics\tAl Gore, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Democratic Party, Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, Honduras, Indiana, Jimmy Carter, Joe Biden, Mike Pence, Republican Party, Tea Party Movement, Tim Kaine, US House Of Representatives, US Senate, Vice Presidency, Vice Presidential Debate, Virginia, Walter Mondale",

        "raw_content": "Burj Dubai Skyscraper : Burj Khalifa\nNestled in amongst countless small business buildings and other business structures, the Burg Dubai skyscraper stands as a solo giant. There is no other structure on earth that even comes close. Imagine, being face to face with the largest skyscraper on earth. The Burj Dubai skyscraper is located in Dubai, part of the United Arab Emirates. Construction began in 2004, and ultimately completed in 2009. Although constant service and maintenance is done on the skyscraper, the initial construction efforts were completed in this time frame. The name did change to Burj Khalifa \u201cKhalifa Tower\u201d\nEven though it\u2019s located in the UAE, the engineering and architecture were performed by Skidmore, Owings, and Merill. Based out of Chicago, Skidmore/Owings/Merill were given the responsibility of designing this incredibly important structure from a far away land. The project ended up costing a total of 1.5 billion dollars, 1/20th of the entire construction cost of \u201cDowntown Dubai\u201d.\nThis structure has a list of record breaking accomplishments including:\n1) Building with the most floors in the world \u2013 A total of 160 \u2013 Previous record holder was Willis Tower, comprised of 108 floors.\n2) Worlds fastest elevators \u2013 40 mph \u2013 Previous record holder was Taipei 101.\n3) Its tall, 828 m / 2716 feet\nThe building has 24,348 windows, and to wash them, a horizontal track that allows for easier cleaning efforts. It takes 36 workers a total of three to four months to clean the entire outside of the building. Coordinating the outside cleaning effort of the building takes tact and careful planning.\nThe building wasn\u2019t designed to be just a building. On the outside of the structure lies a fountain. Not some run of the mill, quickly created fountain, but a spectacular and elaborate design created by some of the most talented architects in the world. You can often see these fountains performing to music, accompanied by 6,600 lights and a colored projector.\nAn observation deck was created, allowing people to bear witness to this buildings amazing vertical prowess. People come from all over the world to visit this breathtaking site, made possible through the use of incredible advancements in architectural technology. You can purchase your tickets in advance, and if you plan to visit, that\u2019s something you\u2019re going to want to do. The building gets a steady flow of visitors to the observation deck, enough to sell out at times.\nThe building is surrounded by a park of sorts. To be exact, it\u2019s 27 acres of gardens, palm walkways, and flowering trees with a water room at the center. The water room features pools, water jets, and fountains. All the plants and shrubbery you\u2019ll see is watered through a condensation collection system, a very intricate method of watering plants and flowers that gets the job done efficiently. Annually, 68 million liters of water are fed to the incredibly vast number of plants.\nVisiting this skyscraper would be spectacular. Actually bearing witness to such an accomplishment of architectural greatness and all the wonderful design enhancements that went into creating the Burj Dubai skyscraper would be amazing. Pressurized, air conditioned, and fully operational, it\u2019s truly spectacular.\nIf you plan to visit UAE, check this out!\nPosted in: UAE Tourist Attractions | Tags: Burj Dubai, Burj Khalifa, dubai Skyscraper\nJumeirah Mosque Dubai UAE \u00bb",

(AP/Ariel Leon)\nAn estimated 86 percent of the cocaine trafficked into the United States passes through Central America, according to the United States State Department\u2019s 2014 International Narcotics Control Strategy Report. The shipments of cocaine passing through the isthmus have led the State Department to name Costa Rica and its Central American neighbors as major drug producing and drug-transit countries.\n\u201cDrug traffickers take advantage of Costa Rica\u2019s strategic location, porous borders, and thinly patrolled waters to exploit the country as a major transit route for illicit drugs\u201d before moving to Mexico and eventually the United States, the report observed.\nCosta Rica was listed as a major source of chemical precursors for illicit drugs and a major destination for money laundering, much of which is believed to be related to drug trafficking.\nMexican and Colombian drug trafficking organizations tend to be the most prevalent in Costa Rica. The Judicial Investigation Police (OIJ) previously told The Tico Times that they believe the Sinaloa and Knights Templar Mexican drug cartels are active here.\nThe report noted Costa Rica\u2019s progress in attacking the drug war\u2019s supply side. In 2013, Costa Rica seized a record high 21.8 tons during 2013, 4.4 tons more than in 2012. That same year, authorities burned 1,532.2 tons of cannabis, an almost 50 percent increase over what was destroyed in 2012.\nSecurity and combatting drug trafficking and drug-related violence has been a linchpin of President Laura Chinchilla\u2019s administration, which ends May 8. The report noted that Costa Rica has increased its investments in law enforcement during the last several years, including the development of a U.S. trained Border Police unit and increased investment in the country\u2019s Coast Guard.\nIn 2008, the United States began the Central American Regional Security Initiative to support public security and anti-drug trafficking initiatives, which has included training, joint patrols, and equipment donations.\nCorruption and killings related to drug trafficking, however, are top concerns. Costa Rica has seen recent success in reducing its homicide rate since Chinchilla took office in 2010 but that progress stalled in 2013 when the OIJ reported the same number of slayings, 407, as in 2012. Drugs are the underlying cause of many of these killings, according to the OIJ.\nCosta Rica, however, still maintains the lowest homicide rate in Central America, a region infamous for some of the highest murder rates in the world.\nThe INCSR recommended Costa Rica continue to invest more resources in its law enforcement. That suggestion extends to promoting advanced investigation techniques and passing laws to specifically target organized crime and its proceeds.\nCosta Rica, which abolished its army in 1948, spends less than 0.05 percent of its gross domestic product on paramilitary police forces, border patrol, and maritime and aerial surveillance, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, a think tank that tracks military and security spending.\ncocainedrug traffickingdrugs\nSupreme Elections Tribunal denies that presidential election runoff ballots were stolen",

        "title": "Treblemaker: Apple to back both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray?",
        "raw_content": "When Apple joined the Blu-Ray Disc Association in March 2005, the move was seen as a coup for Blu-ray and a blow to the competing HD-DVD format, but documents recently obtained by Think Secret indicate that Apple may in fact be planning to support both formats equally.\nWhile members of the Blu-ray camp, which include Dell, Panasonic, Pioneer, and Sony, have kept their distance from HD-DVD, which is backed by Microsoft, Toshiba, and Intel, among others, Apple would not be the first vendor to side with both formats: Hewlett Packard actively supports both formats.\nFrom a business perspective, backing both Blu-ray and HD-DVD makes tremendous sense for Apple. The company's hardware and software is used extensively in Hollywood, and HD-DVD is exclusively backed by Universal Studios, while other studios have lent non-exclusive support to the format. Were Apple to forgo HD-DVD support in its products, it could potentially limit the adoption of its products by some film makers.\nApple's move was first suggested by a 2005 press release indicating that the company would lend its support to both formats. Since that time, neither Blu-ray nor HD-DVD has established any meaningful lead in the marketplace since hardware arrived in consumer hands earlier this year, and neither appears poised to do so in the near future. Some manufacturers have also started to divert attention to producing drives, recorders, and media that support both formats, similar to how most DVD recorders and players on the market today support both DVD-R and DVD+R.\nAs for when the next-generation disc formats might be available in Apple hardware, sources are uncertain but indications point to the first-half of 2007, when Apple plans to roll-out Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard as well as a major upgrade to Final Cut Studio, which is said will support both high-definition formats out of the box.\nBuyer Gets Soap Instead of iPod\nUK Urged to Legalize iPod\nIntroducing the Olive Symphony\nTouchscreen iPod Rumors\nMacworld Blooper Reel\nRise In Robberies Blamed on iPod",

        "raw_content": "If you think your teen has to meet shady contacts in back alleys in order to be abusing drugs, you\u2019re wrong. Often, teens abuse drugs that are actually legal. They may not even think they are doing anything wrong or dangerous.\nWhile some may use over-the-counter or prescription medications as gateway drugs to illegal drug addiction, others will receive enough of a high from what\u2019s readily available that they never venture into unknown territory. Either way, drug abuse is just that, and you need to make sure your teens are informed about the risks.\nLegal drugs are ones that have entered your home legally. Alcohol, over-the-counter medications, and prescription drugs all fall under this category. And they\u2019re a huge problem. According to the Monitoring the Future survey (PDF), as of 2012, over 20% of high school seniors have experimented with prescription drug abuse. Almost 70% have abused alcohol.\nMany teens (and even adults) falsely assume that if a medication is legally sold without the need for a prescription, they must be completely safe. While the FDA does set guidelines prohibiting the uncontrolled sale of medications with certain ingredients, their approval of all that\u2019s available only relates to using over-the-counter medications according to their intentions and the directions that accompany them.\nFDA approval in no way suggests that the medicine can\u2019t be used to get high or artificially enhance performance \u2014 or that an overdose cannot be lethal. In fact, since teens who abuse over-the-counter drugs typically take them in much higher doses than recommended, toxicity is a definite concern.\nShort of a life-threatening overdose, teens\u2019 physical health can suffer. Due to the euphoric effects of the medication, they can also be more prone to engage in a variety of risky behaviors.\nAccording to this Philadelphia newspaper, some over-the-counter meds teens abuse most frequently include cold remedies, motion sickness pills, natural herbs, and caffeine.\nDimetapp D, Nyquil, and Robitussin D are some of the most popular cough suppressants which include dextromethorphan, or DXM. While many assume teens must be after the alcohol, it\u2019s actually the high produced by DXM that causes hallucinations or \u201chighs\u201d \u2014 along with seizures, increased heart rate, and disrupted breathing. (Dextromethorphan is also available in bulk online.) Slang terms for this drug include DM, vitamin D, robo, and tussin. Sometimes those who abuse cough medicine are referred to as \u201csyrup heads.\u201d\nPills intended to help eliminate the effects of motion sickness can be taken in large doses to approximate the effects of powerful street drugs. However, they can cause teens to experience heart attacks, go into comas, or even die. Best known as Dramamine, medications that include dimenhydrinate can cause hallucinations at high dosages. Over time, chronic use of this drug can lead to kidney failure.\nImage credits: Top \u00a9 Monkey Business/Fotolia; 2nd \u00a9 Monkey Business/Fotolia; 3rd \u00a9 HighwayStarz/Fotolia; 4th \u00a9 Monkey Business/Fotolia",

Like a swarm of bees, we flew a few kilometres down the rolling hills of Remembrance Drive to establish a place just like the one we had left... where people could come and find a home, a family, a place to belong. Where they could be needed, loved, and taken care of, just as we had been. We are a young established community of five families with children, and half a dozen single people who, together, cover the many needs of the baking industry, as well as caring for the daily needs of the household and the children at home. We are not many to meet so many needs, but this is teaching us to be flexible and to love one another in the midst of varying pressures, and most of all, to trust in our God who cares for us. In so many ways we see how our life together is perfectly designed by our God, not only to teach us invaluable lessons, but to heal and restore us back to being real human beings, who reflect the goodness and faithfulness of our wonderful Creator. We are grateful to join together with our Community at Peppercorn Creek Farm and work together as one - along with our Twelve Tribe communities around the world - to be a demonstration of the love and unity that our Master Yahshua (the Hebrew name of Jesus) gave His life to bring about. Our home is open to any who desire to see the life we live. That is the reason we are here... So, there is always room for more, just come and see!",

        "raw_content": "TIME for Affordable Education\nSubmitted by jhernandez on Tuesday, September 13, 2016\nWith the presidential election only two months away, topics such as education continue to be in the forefront of the debate \u2013 especially among democrats. Senator Tim Kaine recently wrote an article for Time Magazine on Affordable Higher Education, and in the piece he describes how different the educational landscape is now compared to when he attended college in the 1970s. Today, it\u2019s nearly impossible for students to graduate without some level of debt, with the average student leaving college owing approximately $30,000.\nThe democratic vice presidential candidate used the piece as a platform to describe their plan on making education affordable for all. Not only are Clinton and Kaine pushing for a more affordable education system, but one that focuses on quality through qualified teachers and innovative programs. According to the article, Kaine says that the keys to the democratic plan to make education affordable include free in-state tuition for children of families that make less than $125,000 combined, and understanding that a four year college is not always the answer for every individual. As such, it is essential to create additional opportunities beyond the traditional degree.\nRegardless of who you vote for in November, the prospect of a more affordable education systems is exciting. Here at UMassOnline we offer students an affordable and flexible option to earning a degree. We understand that attending class during the day may not be an option for you. Whether you are working a full-time job or you are not near one of our five campuses, online classes are a great way to work towards your degree without interrupting your daily life.\nVisit the Online Degree and Courses Page for more information on continuing your education.\nTags: Higher Education Financial Aid",

        "raw_content": "Whether or not you're coming from a big city to a small college, or a small town to an urban campus, freshman year is new (and exiciting and daunting) for everyone. Each student will have to acclimate, turning unfamiliar surroundings into home, strangers into friends and a new routine into a way of life ... all while passing Stats 101. Keeping track of everything can seem overwhelming at times, so here are some tips on what to expect, how to prepare and how to cope.\nBefore your first day of class, it's always a good idea to do a test-run of the route you will be regularly taking to class. This can help you avoid getting lost - and being late. If you have to take public transportation, note the duration of the route, from when you leave your dorm or apartment to when you set foot in the classroom. It is also a good idea to familiarize yourself with other staple locations, such as the library, the student union, and possibly even the nearest coffee shop. At freshman orientation or on your move-in day, you should receive a campus map (and your school likely has one posted online, too), which you may want to carry with you until you feel comfortable getting around.\nAnd regardless of the size of the city or town where you attend college, safety should always be a top priority. These tips may seem obvious, but it can be easy to be cavalier about practicing them when you are in a hurry or distracted.\nTry to avoid walking alone at night, and never walk alone in a quiet, dark place with your iPod on\nIf you ride a bike, always wear a helmet, and ride defensively\nIf you carry a backpack, never store valuable items in the smallest, most accessible pouches. These items could be easily lost or stolen\nIf you are returning home late and alone, be sure to have your keys ready to unlock your door, and be especially aware of your surroundings\nMost universities have emergency phones placed around campus, and it is a good idea to pay attention to where they located on your regular route\nThe dynamic of the college classroom is often unrecognizeable from the way class was held in high school. Some of your classes may be in giant lecture halls with hundreds of other students, before a busy (sometimes famous) professor who has just an hour to get through the course material before he flies out the door. Other classes may be much smaller than your high school classes, with as few as 10 students. In these classes, you will likely be expected to participate often, and this setting often provides the best learning experience, as you can develop close relationships with other students and your professor, and speak freely. Chances are you will have to take both lectures and discussion groups, but if you prefer one form to the other, you can tailor your class schedule accordingly. This article from eCampusTours does a great job at breaking down the differences between high school and college, from how much you should expect to study to how to best interact with your professor and fellow students.\nIf you can't bear the thought of getting out of bed before 10 a.m., then signing up for an 8 a.m. lecture is probably not a good idea. The best way to approach your schedule is to select courses that you know you will attend (and that will be useful to your intended major, obviously). Try to craft a schedule that allows you at least one break during the day, so you can grab some lunch and rest your mind. Also, be sure to consider the location of each class and if you will be able to make it on time. If you are rushing back and forth across campus every day, you will likely end up feeling stressed, frustrated and like you are wasting time. You also don't want to be late for class, especially those where attendance counts toward your grade.\nIn terms of which classes to take, the first semester of college, or even the first two semesters, are often spent fulfilling general requirements. If you know what you are majoring in and have a specific, pre-set track (nursing majors, for example), the decision process will be made in large part for you. If you do not yet know what you want to major in, or have a more flexible track, you can use your first year to take the classes you will need to graduate, and that seem interesting to you. Take note of the classes and professors that you particularly enjoy, so you can take more of these classes, or more classes with a great professor, another semester. Also, it is a good idea to balance the types of courses you are taking, even if they are requirements. Try to mix up classes that require a lot of reading and writing with courses in math, foreign language or art so you don't get bored and so your time is more equally spread out.\nA meal plan with seemingly unlimited choices. Late-night pizza. Dinner out with new friends. Stress. Beer. There are lots of reasons why people put on weight during their first year of college, but extra pounds don't have to be inevitable. The best way to avoid gaining weight is to be aware of what you are consuming. This means both paying attention to not eat an entire bag of M&M's when you're cramming for your Psych exam, and realizing that your 40-ounce soda or venti latte has hundreds of calories. Liquids may seem innocent enough, but they often contain the most \"empty\" calories (the average beer has about 150 calories). Instead, drink lots of water, and keep healthy snacks around for the all-nighters. For a quick nutrition reference, see the USDA's Food Pyramid. The site's Menu Planner even lets you design a custom-made daily food plan, which may help you make better food choices, and allows you to see if you are eating a balanced diet.\nAnd though it may be hard to find time, exercising regularly is a great way to stay fit and clear your mind. Try to work out at least three times a week, and during really busy times, try to squeeze exercise into your daily routine: take the stairs instead of the elevator, walk the mile across campus instead of taking the bus, or ask a friend to go to the gym with you instead of meeting for ice-cream.\nIt is also important to get enough sleep regularly (aim for at least seven hours per night) as research has shown that fatigued people tend to eat more than when they are rested. Also, know your own habits - if you know you overeat when you get stressed or feel down, make a back-up plan for the times when you feel this way. Tell yourself that eating will not make these feelings go away, and find positive ways to improve these negative feelings: go for a run to calm down if you are feeling overwhelmed; call a friend or family member if you are feeling lonely; or keep a journal, and write your feelings down.\nCollege presents huge changes for every first-year student: you will have less privacy, may be far away from your best friends in high school, may only see your parents several times a year. Often these changes can make you long for home, and the feeling of homesickness can make some people feel depressed, and disinterested in college life. It is important to acknowledge these feelings if you have them so you can cope with them before your sadness becomes a serious problem. First, know that things will get better. Your new identity as a college student will soon feel like normal and your strange surroundings will soon feel like home. Therefore, it is important that you embrace where you are and face your obligations, rather than giving in to the urge to return home every weekend. Address the way you feel by talking to friends or family members, or share your thoughts by writing in a journal. Make an effort to get involved and meet new people - seek out activities that you enjoy, such as playing sports or volunteering - and try to create a comfortable routine that makes your new surroundings feel safe and familiar, such as frequenting a favorite coffee shop or meeting a friend at the same time every week.\nThink of college not just as an institution to prepare you for the working world, but as an opportunity to mold yourself into an independent, capable adult. You'll have a blast along the way!",

The community occurs on broad, flat expanses of calcareous bedrock (limestone or dolostone) covered by a thin veneer of mineral soil, often less than 25 cm deep. Alvars are only known from three areas of the world: the Basaltic region of northern Europe, Counties Clare and Galway of northwest Ireland, and the Great Lakes region south of the Canadian Shield. In Michigan, most of the sites occur in the Upper Peninsula along the shorelines of Lake Huron and Lake Michigan, in a band from Drummond Island to Cedarville, west to Seul Choix Point on the Garden Peninsula. Alvar also occurs farther west and inland along the Escanaba River. In the Lower Peninsula, alvar occurs on Thunder Bay Island and along the Lake Huron shoreline near Rogers City, Alpena, and Thompson's Harbor.

She is now the Co- Founder and CEO of X SCHOOL in Beijing China overseeing its strategic development and daily operations. Receiving education in China and seeing deficiencies in the Chinese education system, Angel began her journey of closing the gap when she was in university in 1995. She started by teaching some \u201cbad students\u201d at her small but cozy home for free in her own way. 12 months later, these students became top students in their classes. Encouraged by this, she began to help more \u201cbad students\" and students from economically inferior families whom are conventionally regarded \u201chopeless\u201d in the China context. By 1997, she already had 120 students, and more students were coming to her. Then her first training centre was set up on the 24th December 1997, and now, the Jilin Global Citizens Training School has grown to be the most popular organization in northern China with over 10,000 students, most of whom are the \u201cbad students\u201d and \u201cpoor students\u201d. When most of the Chinese training organizations are focused on test skill training for quick money, Angel saw the serious negative impact this has brought to the Chinese children and youth, including ignorance of life skills and social skills, high academic pressure, isolation from main streams, mental and psychological disorder, dropouts from schools, etc., she established the X SCHOOL in Beijing in 2015, wishing to help Chinese students to involve in international education, survive in international environment and thrive in globalization era. Although what the future world looks like is not yet clear, X SCHOOL strives to close the gap with quality education programs developed over the years and educate Chinese children and youth in ways that better prepare them for the VUCA world so that it can nurture the first generation of global citizens and global leaders who can think globally and act locally. Over 50 parents have joined together as investors to help with the growth of X SCHOOL, and more parents are joining every single day. Angel Mi Lin would very much like to give a short talk, sharing her visions and insights on how a non-government organization can help to supplement the national education system while preparing students for this VUCA world in a very practical way.

Ironically what tecahers are alowed to teach is alos governed regionally but missed the point of the livelihods that region's yout need. So here's waht Guterres as the head of sustainability gaols is doing in september. He's staging the most exciting educationj summit ever around at least 3 essential sources:\n1 first ladies demanding to understand best practices for refugee elarning (and children in the middle of war zones)\n2 whats now known where education was designbed so the world's poorest rural girls developed nations\n3 what china is innovatoing as the only major economy where public money is being priorised round innvatipons for youth not social security of elders\nlets start with 3) is the headmaster of the \"best\" school in your nations capital free to offer this explanation when the mass media asks him why he doesnt spend more time on sharing how knowhow with the capital's less performing schools? my job is culturally specific to involving parents and teachers to simplify how children pass the exams so that the children have as much time as possible to learn everything else society needs each of them to be individullay passonate about; that context is specific, interactive, chnaging - I wouldnt be doing my duty to my community if i spent time on another school and there is no lreason to expect that i would be the best person to help that other school anyway. Over 33 yeras olf reseraching the democracy of education and globalisation, I can assure you that American media does not free headmasters of its \"best\" schools to admit any such innovation challenge. And I haven't yrt found a single person in congress who would wish to get involved in such an unpopular challenge\nFortunatley for the wpr;d, a year after Bnagladesh was born as the poorest 100 million person nation in the wolrld, end poverty was defined as what needs to be done so that wherever a girl is born, she has a chnace at life; what needed to be done tyrned out to be that educators needed to go and live and learn in every community that suffered a wirst type of sustainability chalenge from starvantion, to environmental crisis, to social abuse of mothers and gorls, to literally having no literacy or skills. 46 years later if educatirs realy wanted to taxh youth to be the sustainability generation there would be a mooc which all teachers saw firts on types of solution to each sustainabiklity gpal that bangaldesh has come up with as well as types of chalenges it is still inviting colabrative apps to. To beoeve that educatirs can teach children to unite in being te sustainabiluit geneeration without experoencing solutions to the hardest sustainability contexts is not intelignet and not emotionally smart. It may be bureaucratically conveneinent but it doesnt value youth, tecahers or communities in a way that 21st century technolgy could be if sustainability is really what we are uniting children around\nThis brings us to 1 . Bordres betgween nations have becomne the hardset places of all for a chold develop except where the world is watching how truly belt road mapping can redesign economies so that all youth thrive and all communities see they are becoming not just sustainable places but happy and safe ones ones to live in or visit even if you are a member of the faurer sex. This is an economic design and a technnology innovation issue not one that you can sit and legisltae over. At least that would be the number 1 lesson bangaldesh girl empowerment woiuld like to share with the world. Go listn to a village mother- it was only when i beceme income generating that not just my husband but the whole culture started to resepct me.\nIs the united nations what it name implies. If the learning we need to free teachers to share with chldren for them to ne ssutainable has come from bangaldshi's poorest girls or from providing refugees with elearning access as well as peer to peer coaching networks or china's different way of grounding family loving values and mapping what good neighbor contect varies by sustainability crisis as you build trading routes for all - have we not yet understood that invented here firts isnt the way that our youth will ever be the sustainability generation. Asam Smith was probably the furst to write never ever let one professional group certify which of your youth you need to value most for what. Westren education is neither cetrifiably sustainable not certifiably happy. We are lucky that Jack Ma is not just china's craziest technolgist but the world wide web's - listen to Ma explain how and why education is destroying the livelihpoods of half of youth and that cannot be sustainable\nIf you are interested in linking in to the summit that decides whether educators will learn sustaainability in time to share such knowhow with all our chiildren we've been inviting collaborative connecting during the 43 weeks to converging on WISE@UNGA new york spet 2018. Isnt it time that new york became a hub fo sustaining youth education and not just big banking or meia that avoids questioning the whole truth of action learning . Examles of national talents exploring why education systems are not yet sustaining our youth anywhere\nbangladesh and asean",

        "raw_content": "An Event in Houston - Terrorist Attack , Industrial Accident or Catastrophe?\nDate of dream - June 3, 2008 - Posted August 26,2008\nI had this dream several months ago but I have not published it until now!\nI do know what this dream means and I really did not want to reveal it because I have family in Houston. I do not want to scare them.\nI also have faithful supporters that live in the Houston area and I do not want to scare them either.\nSo for almost 3 months I have kept this dream to myself.\nBut God has rebuked me. If I am a watchman, I am not to hoard a warning to myself. So brethren, I repent of not revealing this dream sooner.\nI do not want to raise fear or unnecessary alarm. I do not know what caused the destruction in the following dream. I will just tell you what I saw.\nI was in Houston inside of a building and I was looking out of a window.\nSuddenly, there was a solid black cloud about 50 feet above the ground and it was several hundred feet tall and about 50 feet wide. It went by the window from left to right.\nI am not sure if it was a tornado because it seemed to be more like a moving column of very black smoke. As it went pass the window, I saw that there was a tall and fat pine tree being carried in the smoke column.\nThe pine tree was totally black with soot all over it. It had no branches and it resembled a telephone pole. But it was not a telephone pole because I saw that there was still bark on the tree. It was a dirty, sooty black.\nThe cloud and the tree were traveling past the window at about 30 to 40 MPH.\nAfter it went by, I got into my car to leave the building. I made a right turn and drove into the street. At the first intersection I made another right turn and after I drove a few blocks, the scenery suddenly changed.\nIt was like the scene of an apocalyptic movie.\nThe road was suddenly full of emergency equipment. Fire trucks, ambulances and hundreds of emergency workers. There were also young boy scouts helping out in the efforts.\nAlong the opposite side of the street were hundreds of people just staring at the destruction!\nThe scene was very eerie.\nThe vehicles were parked along the street of what was once, a large housing subdivision. But the houses were all gone. As far as I could see, there were no longer any houses left standing.\nThe entire neighborhood was gone: no houses, no cars, no bodies!\nThe only thing that was visible were the remnants of tall trees without their branches. The trees were solid black with soot all over them. They were all snapped off at about the 30 foot level.\nThe ground was also very black and sooty. It was not ash but more of like the black soot from a chimney.\nI saw a child about 5 or 6 years old standing across the street just staring at the destruction. She was very sad. I went over to her and leaned over to talk to her but she would not answer. She seemed to be in shock. So I gave her a balloon and got back into my car to leave.\nI drove further down the street about a half a mile until I came to an obstruction that cars could not get pass. The street was totally covered with a thick mud that was made out of the black soot. It was about 1 to 2 feet thick. There was no way to get past this muddy soot. It began to rain.\nThe dream was over.\nConclusion: This dream is a mystery to me because I do not know what could cause such destruction. At first it would seem that maybe a tornado did the damage, but that would not explain the black soot all over everything.\nI do not want to speculate that it was done by a nuclear weapon, a conventional weapon or an industrial explosion. Or a combination of several of these things.\nI do not know if the destroyed neighborhood was one of many. I do not know if it was accidental or on purpose!\nCould a refinery explosion destroy a neighborhood? Could a terrorist attack at a refinery do this?\nI have wondered about this dream for several months now. I feel that God wishes me now to publish it.\nI hope that this dream will never happen.\nNote* - To the people in Houston that may be reading this. Or to those with loved ones in the Houston area. If this dream is prophetic, there is no way to know when it will happen. So, my advice to you would be to make it a matter of prayer to the Lord our God Jehovah and ask Him to protect you and your family if and when this event occurs. He can do it brethren!\nAgain brethren, I hope that this dream will never happen!\nDate of dream - June 3, 2008",

We started writing at 10.00 a.m. and we were asked to handover our writing sheets by 11.00 a.m. sharp.\nOur topics were very relevant to the current scenario of the country as well as the world, relating to the digitization of banking and how are lives, our whole world is getting stored in a small chip. The experience in the auditorium of the suspense palpable, excitement and an atmosphere of nervousness was a reminder to us of the forthcoming I.C.S.E and I.S.C examinations.\nReported by: Ashlesha Singh\nINTERHOUSE SPEECH AND DEBATE COMPETITION 2017\nWelland Gouldsmith School has set the benchmark for conducting activities in such a way that the students not only enjoy but also learn a great deal from it. With the same perspective in view, the school organized an Interhouse Speech and Debate Competition on 6th July, 2017.\nThe first half of the competition was interhouse speech competition. The participants were from clsses 9 and 10. There was one participant from each house. The two judges were senior English teachers from Welland Gouldsmith School, Patuli and St. Paul\u2019s School. The four houses had one participant each. All the four participants had given speeches from famous speeches from different plays of Shakespeare. The fluency and articulation was impressive. The judges as well as the audience were really \u201c impressed and enthralled\u201d listening to all the four participants.\nThe second half of the competition was the debate. The topic for the debate was \u201cIt is a man\u2019s world and it always will be.\u201d The topic was very good and since we are a girls\u2019 school we could easily connect with the topic. The girls from class 11 and 12 participated in the debate. Each house had two participants. One spoke for the topic and the other spoke against the topic. For many participants it was the first time that they were speaking in front of so many people but they still managed to speak well. The moderator for the debate was Mr. Jason Hart.\nAfter the end of the debate, the two judges were asked to speak. Bothe of them said that they were highly impressed with both the debate and speech. They said that it was a very enriching experience. They also shared their views on the debate topic. They congratulated the participants for having the courage to come up on the stage and speak in front of such an attentive audience.\nThe results were announced. In the speech competition, the fourth position was given to Blue house, Yellow house got the third position and the first two positions were given to Green and Red house respectively. In the debate, Khushboo Chowdhury got the eight place, Unatri Dutta secured the seventh place, followed by Falah Ismail in the sixth place. The fifth place was given to Ashmita Saha, Hiral Shah secured the fourth place. Sufia Hasan was given the third place. The second position was given to Akansha Livingstone and Yukti Verma came first. She was also given the Best Speaker Award. In both speech and debate, Red or Hart house came second and Green house and Yellow house came first respectively.\nIn the overall championship, Red or Hart house came first, followed by Yellow , Green and Blue .\nCompetitions like this help the students to overcome stage fright and builds confidence and poise and most importantly to speak and think in English \u2013 which will hold them in good stead for the future.\nReported by : Sohinee Misra, Class XII \u2013 A\nThe third of July was an important and essential day in the school calendar. The investiture ceremony of the Welland Gouldsmith School, B.B.Ganguly Street, took place in the Gillian Hart Auditorium.\nThe ceremony began with our honourable School Principal, Dr. Ms. G.R.Hart\u2019s introductory speech followed by a reading from the Holy Bible by our respected Head Mistress, Mrs. L. Jackson. The school hymns, followed by the School motto and the school song were sung by all the students from classes 9 to 12 who were present to witness this solemn occasion.\nOur Vice Principal Miss J.Michael initiated the Prefects\u2019 pledge, followed by the Captains, the Vice Captains and the Games Captains. They were congratulated in anticipation that they would not fail in carrying out their duties and specific responsibilities that they had been bestowed with.\nThe final announcement of the Head Girl, Ankita Saha and the Assistant Head Girl , Zaina Khan was declared by our School Principal, Dr. Ms. G.R. Hart. After the announcement was made, there was a lot of excitement and cheers, followed by a round of applause. The Head Girl and the Assistant Head girl were summoned to take their pledge and promised before God \u201cthat they will work really hard to uphold the discipline of the institution in every sphere\u201d. They would work for the school\u2019s betterment and be an example for the rest of the school to follow in the future. They also promised to uphold the culture and customs of the institution with the help of God.\nThe elated and proud students then accepted greetings and congratulations graciously, in turn thanking the authorities and teachers for placing their Trust in them.\nREPORTED BY: ANKITA SAHA (HEAD GIRL)\nCLASS : XII \u2013 A",

For instance, it is frequently compounded with antifungal medications, enabling them to penetrate not just skin but also toe and fingernails.\nIn a 1978 study at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation in Cleveland, Ohio, researchers concluded that DMSO brought significant relief to the majority of the 213 patients with inflammatory genitourinary disorders that were studied.\nDMSO by itself has low toxicity, and it is an odorless liquid, but due to its ability to penetrate tissue, it has an interesting effect, it is secreted onto the surface of the tongue after contact with the skin and causes a garlic-like taste in the mouth.\nIt follows that one should use thick rubber gloves when handling it. Nitrile gloves (common in chemical laboratories) dissolve rapidly with exposure to DMSO.\nBecause DMSO easily penetrates the skin, substances dissolved in DMSO may be quickly absorbed, do not mix it with substances you do not want being absorbed into your skin and body.\nDMSO has Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval only for use as a preservative of organs for transplant and for interstitial cystitis, a bladder disease.\nIn addition, DMSO can carry other drugs with it across membranes. It is more successful ferrying some drugs, such as morphine sulfate, penicillin, steroids, and cortisone, than others, such as insulin. What it will carry depends on the molecular weight, shape, and electrochemistry of the molecules. This property would enable DMSO to act as a new drug delivery system that would lower the risk of infection occurring whenever skin is penetrated.\nDMSO perhaps has been used most widely as a topical analgesic, in a 70 percent DMSO, 30 percent water solution. Laboratory studies suggest that DMSO cuts pain by blocking peripheral nerve C fibers.3 Several clinical trials have demonstrated its effectiveness,4,5 although in one trial, no benefit was found.6 Burns, cuts, and sprains have been treated with DMSO. Relief is reported to be almost immediate, lasting up to 6 hours. A number of sports teams and Olympic athletes have used DMSO, although some have since moved on to other treatment modalities. When administration ceases, so do the effects of the drug.\nDMSO reduces inflammation by several mechanisms. It is an antioxidant, a scavenger of the free radicals that gather at the site of injury. This capability has been observed in experiments with laboratory animals7 and in 150 ulcerative colitis patients in a double-blinded randomized study in Baghdad, Iraq.8 DMSO also stabilizes membranes and slows or stops leakage from injured cells.\nAt the Cleveland Clinic Foundation in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1978, 213 patients with inflammatory genitourinary disorders were studied. Researchers concluded that DMSO brought significant relief to the majority of patients. They recommended the drug for all inflammatory conditions not caused by infection or tumor in which symptoms were severe or patients failed to respond to conventional therapy.9\nStephen Edelson, MD, F.A.A.F.P., F.A.A.E.M., who practices medicine at the Environmental and Preventive Health Center of Atlanta, has used DMSO extensively for 4 years. \u201cWe use it intravenously as well as locally,\u201d he says. \u201cWe use it for all sorts of inflammatory conditions, from people with rheumatoid arthritis to people with chronic low back inflammatory-type symptoms, silicon immune toxicity syndromes, any kind of autoimmune process.\n\u201cDMSO is not a cure,\u201d he continues. \u201cIt is a symptomatic approach used while you try to figure out why the individual has the process going on. When patients come in with rheumatoid arthritis, we put them on IV DMSO, maybe three times a week, while we are evaluating the causes of the disease, and it is amazing how free they get. It really is a dramatic treatment.\u201d\nAs for side effects, Dr. Edelson says: \u201cOccasionally, a patient will develop a headache from it, when used intravenously\u2013and it is dose related.\u201d He continues: \u201cIf you give a large dose, [the patient] will get a headache. And we use large doses. I have used as much as 30\u00ddml\u00ddIV over a couple of hours. The odor is a problem. Some men have to move out of the room [shared] with their wives and into separate bedrooms. That is basically the only problem.\u201d\nDMSO was the first nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory discovered since aspirin. Mr. Bristol believes that it was that discovery that spurred pharmaceutical companies on to the development on other varieties of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories. \u201cPharmaceutical companies were saying that if DMSO can do this, so can other compounds,\u201d says Mr. Bristol. \u201cThe shame is that DMSO is less toxic and has less int he way of side effects than any of them.\u201d\nRead more: http://www.dmso.org/articles/information/muir.htm\nI am researching this as a delivery method for a few topicals. I found a study relating to hair loss that utilized DMSO.\nDMSO is not natural, and I prefer natural things when possible. Emu oil is natural..\nI plan on experimenting with both Emu and DMSO as the delivery methods. Emu may be best for a topical you plan on leaving for an extended time, DMSO may be best used in the shower where it is washed off after some minutes to remove unabsorbed DMSO to prevent irritation, some individuals may experience irritation with DMSO.\nI\u2019ll post more later..\nFor now, if you would like to read more, you can start here: http://www.dmso.org/articles/information/muir.htm\nhere\u2019s a PDF with testimonials Pro-Emu Oil \u2013 emu-vs-dmso\n\u201cChemical Hygiene Plan\u201d (PDF).

        "raw_content": "(I wrote this on 5/18, but hadn't gotten a chance to post it yet.)\nOver on the Rootsweb Autosomal DNA List a debate is raging in regard to the chances of randomly matching an actual third cousin in the autosomal DNA databases at 23andMe or Family Tree DNA. Some feel that this is extremely unlikely and a number of our top atDNA genetic genealogists are weighing in on the subject. I have been following this intriguing discussion for a couple of days now and hoping that the astronomical odds quoted are overly pessimistic. With this is mind, I was especially excited to randomly discover and confirm an actual third cousin match today from 23andMe's Relative Finder.\nHonestly, I am so busy helping other people with their autosomal DNA research that I rarely have time for my own. However, today I was quickly scanning my paternal uncle's new Relative Finder matches and I saw a predicted 2nd-3rd cousin.\nHappily, this cousin accepted my invitation to compare our DNA and told me that he had the Moore surname in his family tree. When I looked up his unusual name on Facebook, I found that we had a mutual friend - the wife of my third cousin once removed through my Moore great great grandparents. She quickly filled me in on my match's genealogy and I discovered that we are, indeed, third cousins sharing our mutual great great grandparents Calvin and Mary/Martha (Armstrong) Moore. Of course, we don't share that much DNA at that level, only .43% of our DNA matches each other (3rd cousins would be expected to share about .781%). My sisters are also well below the expected amount at .52% and .30% and my second cousin from this line shares only .31% with him. My father's two siblings who are his second cousins once removed share 1.13% and .93% (expected ~1.563%). These numbers are a little lower than expected, but this isn't altogether surprising since autosomal DNA inheritance is so random and, especially after the second cousin level, I have found it to be pretty inconsistent. Regardless, the prediction by 23andMe was right on.\nSince I don't share that much DNA with this third cousin, it was fairly easy to overlook him in my match list:\nAs you can see, I hadn't even sent him an invitation. The fact that I had an actual third cousin hiding in my match list, parading as \"nothing special\", gives me hope. So, please don't give up on autosomal DNA matching. I believe that our cousins are there just waiting to be found. If you can - test your parents, their siblings and your grandparents if you are lucky enough. If I didn't have my uncle's DNA in the database, in my haste, I probably would have overlooked this promising match and missed out on adding these three segments to my chromosome map.\nGiven this opportunity, let's look a little closer at my family comparisons with this cousin. The chart below graphically illustrates the DNA that my sisters and I share with our 3rd cousin. Each gray bar represents a pair of chromosomes. The colored bands represent where each of my sisters and I have a matching segment of DNA with our cousin. As you can see, my sisters and I each inherited unique patterns of our great great grandparents' DNA. Much of the shared DNA is on Chromosome 8, especially at the end where all three of us inherited the same small DNA segment from our Moore 2nd great grandparents.\nThird Cousin Comparisons - Click to enlarge\nNow, let's look at the inheritance pattern of two second cousins once removed. This graph shows the areas where my dad's siblings match this Moore cousin. They share twice as many segments as two of us third cousins and three times as many as my sister who has the least DNA in common with them. Notice again, how little overlap there is between the two and that there is very little matching on Chromosome 8. This means that my dad's inheritance pattern was equally as unique since we sisters all show considerable matching on that specific chromosome with our Moore cousin.\n2nd Cousin Once Removed Comparisons - Click to enlarge\nNext, we can see that our second cousin (also a third cousin to this newly discovered Moore cousin) inherited completely different DNA from our shared 2nd great grandparents than my sister and I. Also, she only has two segments in common with him (light blue), but one is larger than any of those my sisters and I share with him. Her overall sharing is lower at only 23 cM versus 32 cM for me and 39 cM for my sister. She is more in line with my other sister (not shown here) who only shares two segments and 22 cM with this cousin.\nMore Third Cousin Comparisons (Click to Enlarge)\nAs I have explained before, I tested my father's siblings since he is deceased, hoping to be able to use them as a proxy for his DNA. Since siblings only share an average of 50% of the DNA, you can see this plan does not always work out. My uncle (dark blue) shares almost completely different DNA with this cousin than my sister and I do. The only commonality with this \"new\" Moore cousin lies on Chromosome 11 between my uncle and sister (illustrated by light blue and dark blue bars).\nOne 2nd Cousin Once Removed versus Two 3rd Cousin Comparisons\nThe same thing holds true for my paternal aunt (dark blue bars below). You can see all three of us match this cousin only on a small segment on Chromosome 8 (stacked colored bars). Since the dark blue on the chart below does not overlap any of the other DNA matches that my sister and I have with our Moore cousin, it is evident that my father's pattern of inheritance from these specific ancestors was quite diverse from that of both of his siblings.\nAnother 2nd Cousin Once Removed versus Two 3rd Cousin Comparisons\nSince Calvin and Mary Moore are the sole common ancestors shared with this newly discovered cousin, then we can deduce that all of the shared DNA in those charts above originates with them. For me this means that this specific DNA is inherited from their son Willard Calvin Moore, my great grandfather. I can now identify these three little spots - one on Chromosome 1 and two on Chromosome 8 - as a gift from Willard to me.\nWillard Calvin Moore (1877 - 1934)\n[**Update - I have been receiving lots of inquiries about Mary \"Martha\" Armstrong Moore, so I will post her basics here. She was born on 2 May 1836 in Newport, Ontario, Canada to recent English immigrants Thomas and Dorothy (Hudspith) Armstrong from Northumberland, England. Mary had 13 siblings. She married Calvin Benjamin Moore in Ontario in 1854 and shortly thereafter moved to Michigan where she had, at least, eight children before dying in 1878 of consumption when my great grandfather Willard was only one year old. I would love to find an Armstrong cousin, so if this sounds familiar, please drop me a line!]\nPosted by Your Genetic Genealogist at 10:39 PM 27 comments: Links to this post\nLabels: 23andMe, autosomal DNA testing, Calvin Moore, chromosome mapping, Family Tree DNA, third cousin, Willard Moore\n\"Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates, Jr.\" - DNA in the Tenth Episode\nLast night, the final episode of Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates, Jr. featured Michelle Rodriguez, Adrian Grenier and Linda Chavez. Although the three guests share Spanish Colonial ancestors, Dr. Gates noted that it is interesting that these celebrities who have such similar family trees each have a different view of their own identities: self-identifying as mixed-European, Native American and Hispanic. I was pleased to see that Dr. Gates \"turned to two of America's top genetic research firms, Family Tree DNA and 23andMe\" to assist in exploring their multiracial ancestries.\nExploring multiracial ancestries on \"Finding Your Roots\"\nIn the DNA portion's introductory voiceover (starting at 44:50), Dr. Gates explains, \"DNA Analysis can tell us many things about our families, from where our earliest ancestors originated tens of thousands of years ago, to their ethnic and geographical distributions over the last five hundred years.\" In the first part of this statement, he is referring to the deep ancestry revealed through our Y-chromosome DNA and mitochodrial DNA haplogroups and, in the latter, to our admixture results like 23andMe's Ancestry Painting and FTDNA's Population Finder. In this episode, Dr. Gate's team utilizes both to find and confirm evidence of the guests' ancestry.\nLinda Chavez' Population Finder chart from FTDNA\nFor Linda, who considers herself a mix of European, there was a very interesting surprise. DNA admixture results support suggestions from early paper records and memories of symbolic traditions that Linda's family from New Mexico were likely part of the Crypto-Jewish community. Her Population Finder pie chart from Family Tree DNA reveals that she possesses 73.31% European, 5.82% Native American and 20.87% Middle Eastern ancestry. Dr. Gates explained to her, \"According to our researchers - the geneticists - your Middle Eastern result is strongly suggestive of Semitic or Jewish ancestry.\" Linda was surprised at just how much Jewish ancestry she appears to have. Prior to this type of DNA testing, she would have never known how significant this part of her ancestry really is.\nNew Mexico's Crypto-Jewish roots\nAdrian had grown up strongly identifying with Native American culture, but the genealogy research of Dr. Gates' team had raised some questions about his claim of significant Native American ancestry. Adrian's eyes lit up with pride when his direct maternal line's Native American descent was confirmed by his mitochondrial haplogroup C12b. (A person can discover his or her mtDNA haplogroup by taking either a 23andMe test or Family Tree DNA's mtDNAPlus test.)\nAdrian beamed with pride when learning about his Native mtDNA\nDr. Gates explained that \"C1b2 is recognized as one of the four haplogroups found among Native Americans.\" I think he is referring to mtDNA haplogroups A, B, C and D, but this statement is a bit of an oversimplification, especially since sub-haplogroups of X have also been found exclusively in Native Americans. The 2008 academic article The Phylogeny of the Four Pan-American MtDNA Haplogroups states:\nAs for mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), it has been clear, since the early nineties, that mtDNAs of Native Americans could be traced back to four major haplogroups of Asian origin shared by North, Central and South American populations [3]\u2013[7]. These were initially named A, B, C and D, and are now termed A2, B2, C1 and D1 [8]. Afterwards, a fifth haplogroup \u2013 now known as X2a \u2013 was described in Native Americans, but in contrast to the four \u201cpan-American\u201d haplogroups, its geographic distribution is restricted to some Amerindian populations of northern North America [8]\u2013[12]. Later, two more haplogroups \u2013 D2a and D3 \u2013 were identified: D2a in the Aleuts and Eskimos [13], [14] and D3 only in the Eskimos [15], [16]. Most recently there were two further (uncommon) additions \u2013 D4h3 and C4c [14], [17] \u2013 bringing the total number of Native American haplogroups to nine.\nAdrian looking at the frequency map of his C1b2 mtDNA\nDr. Gates stated that Adrian's admixture percentage for Native American was not \"especially large\", however from working with many people who have oral traditions of Native American ancestry, I felt that his 8.44% Native American was relatively significant, as Dr. Gates said \"the equivalent of one great grandparent\". (A great grandparent would be expected to contribute an average of about 12.5% of your DNA.)\nAdrian's admixture results reveal 8.44% Native American\nThe fact that his results revealed 91.56% European DNA appears to support Dr. Gates' contention that the majority of the ancestral mixing between Natives and Spaniards took place early in Colonial times and was short lived. However, we must not forget that Adrian's father, John Dunbar, is primarily of Northern European ancestry, so his mother most likely has significant Native American ancestry, probably about 17%. (The admixture test used is 23andMe's Ancestry Painting or Family Tree DNA's Population Finder which is included with their Family Finder product.)\nNext, Michelle Rodriguez was \"appalled\" to discover that she is primarily European - 72.4%.\nMichelle learning that she is genetically primarily European\nHer admixture results also revealed what seemed to be a more welcome surprise - 21.3% African.\nMichelle's admixture result reveal substantial African ancestry\nShe was very disappointed to learn that she only possesses 6.3% Native American exclaiming, \"I wanted to be Native American!\" From my experience, she joins many Americans in this often repeated desire. As Adrian expressed at the end of the episode, DNA testing can be a life-altering experience, sometimes leading one to reinterpret their self-identity. He said that it would definitely change how he sees himself and how he represents his ancestry to others in the future.\nSadly, this brings us to the end of Dr. Gates' miniseries. I have been disheartened that both of the genealogy series aired their last episode this weekend, so I was extremely pleased to hear Lisa Louise Cooke's Genealogy Gems interview with Dr. Gates (33:00) where he discusses the fact that his team is already in pre-production for the next season of this series. Please hurry up, Dr. Gates, I can hardly wait!\nLet's not forget that we all have the continuing opportunity to discover more about ourselves through genetic genealogy. I encourage you to start or continue this fascinating journey. Now that the show is over, I will have a chance to write more about my own DNA research. I hope you will keep reading.\nWeek 6 - Episode 7 - Condoleezza Rice, Samuel L.

Leclerc, which contains a serious error. The first sentence of the second paragraph reads, \"Partnering with 23andMe, AncestryDNA offers testing on all of your chromosomes, including the autosomal.\" On the heels of AncestryDNA's acquisition of Sorenson's DNA database, it is not surprising that this inaccuracy has resulted in much consternation among the genetic genealogy community today.\nPublic Relations Manager at 23andMe, Catherine Afarian sets the record straight, \"While we have worked with Ancestry.com in the past, our partnership officially ended in 2010 and 23andMe is not affiliated or associated with AncestryDNA's current service offerings in any way.\" She goes on to reassure, \"23andMe holds the trust of our community in the highest regard. 23andMe does not share an individual's data without their explicit consent.\"\nThis press release from 2008 references the former relationship between the two companies. In practice, it amounted to little more than a free 23andMe demo account offered to Ancestry.com DNA customers.\nHopefully, Mocavo will issue a clarification to its subscribers on Monday, but in the meantime, I wanted to set the record straight to alleviate the understandable concern of many 23andMe customers and the community in general .\nLabels: 23andMe, Ancestry.com, AncestryDNA, Catherine Afarian, Mocavo\n\"Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates, Jr.\" - DNA in the Ninth Episode\nThe ninth episode of Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates, Jr. featuring comedian Wanda Sykes, musician John Legend and 98-year old Margarett Cooper aired last night. Unfortunately, this was the shortest DNA segment of any episode so far (starting at 48:30), clocking just under two minutes. I have to admit that even without much genetic genealogy, I really enjoyed the thorough research tracing all three of these African Americans' family trees to their free ancestors of color. That was some outstanding genealogy work!\nAlthough the genetic genealogy that was discussed in the episode was squeezed into a very small segment, I thought the explanations offered were very clear, so I will quote some of Dr. Gates' words here. In order to trace some of the guests' African ancestry back to its origin in Africa, the show used the company African Ancestry again. African Ancestry performs only Y-DNA and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) tests, so keep in mind that they are only examining the direct paternal and/or direct maternal ancestral lines.\nThe paths of Y-DNA (in black) and mtDNA (in red) in our family trees\nDr. Gates explains, \"Fathers pass on exact copies of their Y-DNA to each of their sons and mothers pass on replicas of their mitochondrial DNA to all of their children.\" This means that the Y-DNA follows only the direct male line because fathers pass their Y-chromosome only to their sons. Conversely, mtDNA follows only the direct maternal line because only women pass their mitochondrial DNA on to their children. For example, if you are a female and have a brother, you share the same mtDNA that was inherited from your mother, but only you will pass it to your children, while your brother's children will receive their mother's mtDNA instead of his. (One caveat to Dr. Gates' statement is that both Y-DNA and mtDNA occasionally mutate, so they are not always \"exact copies\".)\nDr. Gates goes on to say, \"So, if an African American shares either of these DNA segments with a member of a present day ethnic group in Africa, then it is likely that they share a common ancestor.\" It is on this basis that African Ancestry reaches their conclusions. (I commented on this idea further in an earlier episode.) In order to be able to do this, African Ancestry has compiled a database of samples collected from \"the ethnic groups in West and Central Africa that were most heavily raided during the slave trade.\"\nMap of the regions sampled for African Ancestry's DNA database\nEach of Dr. Gates' guests were tested to determine to which tribe this small portion of their DNA most closely matches. Being male, John Legend was fortunate to be able to trace both his Y-DNA and his mtDNA. His mtDNA was most similar to the Mende people in Sierra Leone and his Y-DNA was most similar to the Fula people in Guinea-Bissau. As Dr. Gates states, this \"suggests\" that these specific branches of his family tree lead to these areas.\nJohn Legend's mtDNA traces to the Mende People\nJohn Legend's Y-DNA traces to the Fula tribe.\nThe women only had the opportunity to trace their mitochondrial DNA since they do not have Y-chromosomes. Wanda didn't seem to have received a very specific result. The show stated that her mtDNA matched several groups, including the Tikar and Fulani (appears to be the same as the Fula) people of Cameroon. Incidentally, without seeing her family tree, this demonstrates to us that her white ancestor Elizabeth Banks who mothered Wanda's line of free ancestors of color was not her direct maternal ancestor (mother's mother's mother, etc....). If she had been, Wanda would have likely possessed European mtDNA.\nWanda Sykes's mtDNA traces to the Tikar and Fulani people\nAs a side note, I thought it was a lot of fun watching the lovely Margarett fulfill one of her stated life goals by learning more about her ancestors before she dies. Her welcome inclusion in the show supports the idea that watching non-celebrities unravel the secrets of their family trees can be just as compelling (sometimes more so) than the stream of celebrities being offered these opportunities.\nMargarett right after learning the origins of her mtDNA\nMargarett was extremely pleased to discover that her maternal roots traced back to the Temne people of Sierra Leone. (I strongly suggest following the links to read about all of these interesting African groups.)\nMargarett's mtDNA traces to the Temne Tribe of Sierra Leone\nLet's not forget that in focusing exclusively on the Y-DNA and mtDNA, large portions of the guests' genetic heritage was ignored. My wishlist for this episode would have, of course, included the popular pie-charts with the ancestral origin percentages (admixture) for each of the guests. It would have been interesting to see how much European DNA each of these guests possess, as well as if there is potential for Native American ancestors in their family trees. Usually Dr. Gates uses 23andMe's Ancestry Painting for this, although he sometimes also uses Family Tree DNA's Population Finder as well. At the top of the list would have been an autosomal DNA test performed on John Legend's delightful fourth cousin John Hale to determine if they share any detectable DNA segments inherited from their mutual third great grandfather, the legendary Peyton Polly and his unknown wife. A test such as 23andMe or Family Tree DNA's Family Finder have about a 50% chance of detecting shared DNA between fourth cousins. As I have said before, the use of genetic genealogy in exploring these types of questions is my favorite application of the science. Autosomal DNA testing works best for examining a theory that two people are related to each other in relatively recent times. A negative result does not disprove the connection at this level of relatedness, but a positive one can strongly support it. Unfortunately, while Dr. Gates' team likely performed many of the DNA tests on my list, there wasn't time to show all of the results.\nSadly, next week is the last episode of the series, so I hope it is chock full of genetic genealogy! I don't know where all of us will go to get our television genealogy fix since \"Who Do You Think You Are?\" is also ending next week (apparently for good). I sure hope that Dr. Gates hurries up and produces another one of his great family history series!\nFor the last episode, Dr. Gates and his team will be exploring the multiracial ancestry of Michelle Rodriguez, Adrian Grenier and Linda Chavez. See you then!\nWeek 6 - Episode 7 - Condoleezza Rice, Samuel L. Jackson and Ruth Simmons\nWeek 7 - Episode 8 - Martha Stewart, Margaret Cho and Dr. Sanjay Gupta\nLabels: 23andMe, African Ancestors, autosomal DNA testing, Family Tree DNA, Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates Jr, John Legend, mtDNA, Wanda Sykes, Y-DNA\nReminder - 23andMe's subscription model ends today at 5pm PST\nDon't forget that today is the last day to order a 23andMe kit under the subscription model. You can purchase the kit for either $99 upfront and $9 per month for the next 12 months or you can pay $207 upfront. Starting at 5pm PST the price increases to $299. This is the last chance to get into the database for a low entry price.\nWith the risk of sounding like a commercial, if you were planning on purchasing a kit in the near future, now is the time to order. I don't want any of my reader's to miss this opportunity just because they didn't know about it.\nMore details are in Tuesday's post.\nLabels: 23andMe, Subscription\n23andMe Eliminates Subscription Model and Announces New Price\n23andMe has listened to its customers and decided to eliminate the subscription model beginning on Thursday (\"end of day\"), announcing the new price going forward will be $299. Existing customers who have already completed their subscription commitment of 12 months will not be required to pay the ongoing subscription fee in order to remain part of the 23andMe community. The rest of us who purchased at $99 in the last year will only be required to finish out the remaining portion of our initial 12 month subscription. This eliminates the concerns of genetic genealogists who were worried about the impact of losing Relative Finder matches with subscription lapses and defaults. In the future, participation in some new features may require an additional payment in the future, but as of now, those are undefined. Customers who purchased a Lifetime 23andMe Subscription for $399 since January 1, 2012 will receive a coupon for 50% off another test or will receive a refund of $100. In addition, those who have recently paid the $99 upgrade to a Lifetime Subscription after completing their 12 month subscription will receive refunds. Those who have defaulted on their subscription will be offered the opportunity to pay what is owed and finish off their subscription in order to be included under the new policy.\nThe post from Anne Wojcicki to the 23andMe community reads:\nDear 23andMe Community,\nEffective by the end of day this Thursday, we are eliminating subscriptions and will have a single $299 price. We listened to your feedback and now understand that subscriptions were not good for you and thus, not good for 23andMe. We want you as our partner in this genetic journey. Together we will learn about ourselves and make discoveries that will hopefully benefit all of mankind. We thank you for your feedback, your advice and your suggestions. As partners in this journey, we thank you for your trust.\n- We will discontinue billing customers who have fulfilled their subscription commitment.\n- Customers who have yet to complete their subscription commitment will continue to be billed each month until their initial contract commitment has been met. Once this commitment is met, no further subscription will be charged and you can enjoy your Personal Genome Service\u00ae on an ongoing basis.\n- Customers will continue to enjoy access to all of 23andMe\u2019s current features. In the future, 23andMe may launch premium, additive features. We want to emphasize that existing customers will not lose any product functionality with the new pricing structure.\n- 23andMe does not have any immediate plans to introduce new premium fee-based features, but we expect to do so in the future.\n- Through the end of May, customers interested in upgrading from v2 to v3 can do so for $199. After that it will be $249.\nTo upgrade, visit this page: https://www.23andme.com/user/upgrade/.\nCustomers impacted by these changes will be receiving emails directly from us with additional information within the next week.\nIf you have any questions, contact our Customer Care team: https://customercare.23andme.com/anonymous_requests/new?reference=pricechange.\n23andMe CEO\nSo, if you are one of the minority who prefer the subscription model and/or only have $99 and have been waiting to buy, now (until \"end of day\" Thursday PST) is the time to order! ($207 total now versus $299)\nLabels: 23andMe, Anne Wojcicki, Personal Genome Service, Subscription\n\"Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates, Jr.\" - DNA in the Eighth Episode\nFeatured last night on the eighth episode of Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates, Jr. were Martha Stewart, Margaret Cho and Dr. Sanjay Gupta. Each of these \"trailblazers in media\" descend from very recent immigrants to the United States and thus face special challenges in tracing their family trees. The good news is that I was granted the reprieve I hoped for last week and the bad news is that I was granted the reprieve I hoped for last week. There was very little genetic genealogy in this episode, so this will be a relatively quick and easy review.\n\"Domestic Goddess\" Martha Stewart- genetics at play?\nEarly on in Martha's segment after discovering that many of the branches of her family tree were populated with ancestors who were \"highly skilled in the domestic arts\" - like basketweavers, iron workers and seamstresses, Dr. Gates commented that this \"makes you believe in genetic predeterminism,\" the idea that an individual's development is preordained by heredity. Later, Martha mentioned her dog is named \"Genghis Khan\" after Dr. Gates' team linked her ancestry to the Tatar people who were subjugated under Khan and they laughingly discussed the possibility that she could be descended from him. (Filed under \"things that make you go 'Hmmm'\".)\nMartha with her family member Genghis Khan II\nThe DNA portion of the show wasn't until the very end of the episode (starting at 46:40) and started with an analysis by 23andMe of Martha's direct maternal line DNA (mtDNA). (Mitochondrial Haplogroups are included with 23andMe's genome scan.) This ancestral line had been traced back by Dr. Gates' genealogy team to a maternal ancestor with the last name Albiniak who lived in the town of Jan\u00f3w, which apparently implies that the family was Muslim. Martha's mtDNA haplogroup was determined to be W6, a Central Asian haplogroup which, according to Dr. Gates, spread to the area around modern day Pakistan, thus supporting his genealogists' conclusion regarding a potential Islamic heritage for Martha's direct maternal line (mother's mother's mother's mother, etc...). Although this is quite an unexpected and intriguing result for someone who seems as WASPy American as apple pie, Martha didn't appear to be particularly surprised by the news.\nMartha learning about her unusual mtDNA haplogroup\nA website dedicated to the W haplogroup states that W6 reaches its highest concentrations in Georgia at 5.2% compared to 2.7% in Pakistan. Wikipedia states that Haplogroup W, not the subclade of W6, is found in Pakistan. I was unable to find enough information on this relatively rare haplogroup to reach any definite conclusions on its relevancy to Martha's family history.\nDistribution of Martha's mtDNA Haplogroup W6\nNext, Dr. Gates revealed Sanjay's mitochondrial DNA haplogroup to be U2c, which he said occurs most often in the Sindhi people of Southern Pakistan. This result is not surprising for a person of Indian heritage like Sanjay and coincided with his mother's family's recent migration (1947) from the area that is now Pakistan. This results suggested that Sanjay's direct maternal ancestral line was likely in this region for thousands of years. It would have been neat to find out what his paternal line haplogroup (Y-DNA Haplogroup) was too, but Dr. Gates chose to focus on mtDNA exclusively in this episode.\nSanjay's mtDNA Haplogroup U2c\nMargaret was in for a bit of surprise when her mtDNA haplogroup was reported as D5a2a1b. This haplogroup reaches highest concentrations in China, not Margaret's family's homeland of Korea. In fact, D5a is extremely rare in Korea, appearing in less than one percent of the population. Further, Dr. Gates mentioned that \"another test\" showed that her paternal haplogroup also traces back to China instead of Korea. This other test would have been a Y-DNA Haplogroup test. Since Margaret herself does not have a Y-Chromosome, to reach this conclusion, Dr. Gates team must have tested her father or a brother. Unfortunately, the specific Y-DNA Haplogroup was not revealed. I would have liked to see it if only for the reason that, in my experience, Asian DNA is not widely discussed and would benefit from more visibility in our research and discussions.\nMargaret's mtDNA Haplogroup D5a2a1b\nEven though mtDNA haplogroups were the only DNA results explored in this episode, it was very interesting because each of the guests had a relatively rare haplogroup, at least as far as what exists in our databases at this point in time. (I searched the list of about 1000 people that I am sharing with at 23andMe and none of them had any of the three mtDNA haplogroups mentioned here. I also searched the corresponding haplogroup projects at FTDNA and found very few from these subclades.) Haplogroups are indicative of deep ancestry and are not generally genealogically relevant, however when the documentary paper trail runs out, they can provide clues as to the family's historic location and migratory pattern. Dr. Gates explains it like this, \"Certain DNA tests act like a genetic global positioning system, providing valuable clues about where our ancestors once lived.\" Apparently Dr. Gates' team used 23andMe's genetic scans to determine these haplogroups. This is a little surprising since haplogroup research is actually more of a specialty of Family Tree DNA, the other DNA testing company often featured in the series. 23andMe includes this information with their autosomal DNA test, but offers no further information beyond the haplogroup designation. At Family Tree DNA, a person can get the detailed list of the exact STRs (Y-DNA) and mutations (mtDNA), thus enabling matching with other individuals in the large FTDNA databases containing these specific results. (I suggest the Y-DNA 37 marker test and the mtDNA Plus.)\nInvestigating the family trees of Martha, Margaret and Sanjay\nOn my wish list would have been admixture breakdowns for the guests (remember those pie charts in earlier episodes?), especially Martha and Sanjay. Martha's results could have been very interesting if any of her Tatar autosomal DNA remains. I'm not sure what her breakdown would look like, but I imagine there would be an Asian component. Since her maternal grandmother was an Albiniak and her genetic contribution makes up about 25% of Martha's genome, it is certainly plausible that some autosomal genetic traces of her Tatar ancestors remain. (I note from an entry in Wikipedia that the Muslim Tatars were allowed the unusual right of intermarriage with Catholics in Poland, which may help to account for that portion of Martha's family tree.)\nI would have also liked to see a breakdown of Sanjay's genetic ancestral origins to discover if, as a South Asian Indian, he has substantial admixture (of both Asian and European autosomal DNA) or primarily just Asian DNA. It is always interesting to me to see how these two components balance out. Margaret's autosomal DNA likely wouldn't have revealed anything significant since the major testing companies have yet to commercially analyze East Asian DNA in any great detail, but you never know.\nI also really missed seeing the familiar faces from the two DNA testing companies regularly featured in this series.\nNext week we will delve back into the genetics of African Americans with guests John Legend and Wanda Sykes who are both descended from free people of color. Now that I've had my break, I hope this episode is packed full of DNA research on these intriguing family trees, especially since there are only two episodes left!\nLabels: 23andMe, autosomal DNA testing, Family Tree DNA, Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates Jr, haplogroups, Margaret Cho, Martha Stewart, mtDNA testing, Sanjay Gupta, Sindhi, Tatar, Y-DNA testing",

Unlike traditional language schools, YOLA is all about YOU and makes learning Spanish easy, convenient, and most importantly fun!\nIn 2006, 2 people met in Cusco and had a crazy idea. In a post-colonial world dominated by greed and egoism, they decided to create an organization that would benefit everybody involved.\nThey, Fanny and John, got a group of single mothers together and started training them to become the very best Spanish teachers for foreigners. Without a budget, without a business plan or even a defined idea of where this would lead them, they invested all their experience, their knowledge, their hearts and their passion in this adventure and after an intense year of training and building, they were ready to conquer the world.\nToday FairServices is a unique, very diverse organization offering services to students, volunteers, interns, adventurers, tourists,... from all over the world.\nApart from being one of the biggest of its kind, FairServices built a reputation as the organization that cares about people, that makes every experience special and that keeps on offering the highest quality and service in a very personal way.\nOur teachers (all single mothers that used to live on the edge of poverty) work on average 5 hours per day, earning double the minimum wage in Peru, working in a respectful environment where they are appreciated for their professionalism and where they still have enough time to raise their children on the side, in 2012, FairServices started an after school project for kids from poor to extremely poor families in Cusco where we focus on education, nutrition and health.A big portion of the earnings of FairServices goes to running this project, the grant program for promising high school kids, and specific projects that benefit the local communities.\nSince 2013 we are expanding our philosophy and services to the online world. Not everybody has the resources, time or interest to travel to South America to learn Spanish so we bring South America to them.\nHighly trained teachers that are native Spanish speakers, state of the art technology and well developed didactical materials are all the result of 10 years of growth and passion and again, we are ready to conquer the (online) world.",

Who were the attempted assassins, what part does Ananke play in all of this, and is she actually special too? But as the gods launch their big festival \u2013 called Ragnarock \u2013 the stage is set for revelations nobody is expecting.\n(FYI there are gonna be some light SPOILERS, by necessity.)\nTalk about leaving people screaming for more. You thought Lucifer\u2019s death at the end of The Faust Act was something? Wait for the one-two punch of a twist that comes out of this issue. I can\u2019t even really wrap my head around it: it both explodes our conception of this world/mythology while also exploding the actual more literal story. It\u2019s not unheard of to kill off main characters, but I\u2019ve never seen anything as ballsy as this. Killing Ned Stark ain\u2019t got shit on this move. Kieron Gillen is one crazy-bold dude, that\u2019s for damn sure.\nBut as drop-dead crazy-amazing as the last pages are, the whole volume is pretty much amazing as well. Laura is grappling with a level of unexpected fame (having been there when Lucifer died) while also trying to reckon with her grief \u2013 and it provides a nice balance of external and internal stuff, big and small grappling for the same amount of mental real estate. On the one hand, she\u2019s trying to figure out why somebody would want to kill the gods \u2013 and on the other hand, she\u2019s dealing with the loss of a friend. All the while trying to figure out who she is. It\u2019s tricky storytelling but Gillen pulls it off, largely with the help of Jamie McKelvie\u2019s beautiful artwork. Even as the literal gods are running around, we retain a sense of small-scale humanity. It\u2019s lovely.\nWe get to meet more of the gods this time around, too: Dionysus is a raver, Innara is Prince, and the fates of Norse mythology (Ur\u00f0r and the Norns) are a crazy female spooky goth rock trio or something equally cool. They reminded me a bit of Elvira, but as lensed through some of Jack White\u2019s Third Man Records girl groups. And the Pantheon is now complete: which means\u2026 what, exactly? Ananke has plans, it\u2019s clear: she tells certain people certain things while withholding certain other pieces of information. It\u2019s clear that she feels threatened by certain figures in the Pantheon and that other figures feel threatened by her\u2026 but beyond the vague and shadowy backstory about the Recurrence and what it does, essentially we\u2019re still clueless. There\u2019s something, potentially, to this idea that the gods protect humanity from some sort of encroaching darkness \u2013 a story/myth that\u2019s not unfamiliar to anyone who has studied mythology from any country or canon \u2013 but what that darkness is, is unclear. The part Ananke plays is supposedly to guide the gods during their time back on Earth to make sure the darkness can\u2019t ever win again (\u201cWe could have had men on Mars thousands of years before the rise of Rome but for the Great Dark,\u201d she says at one point)\u2026 but I get the sense that she\u2019s playing some other game here, too. Gone a little crazy, perhaps, having become essentially immortal\u2026 Or is it that the bug she puts in Baphomet\u2019s ear actually related to her as well?\nIt\u2019s unclear and I have to imagine it\u2019s going to remain that way for a little while longer\u2026 but oh boy do I want to know what comes next.\nBut, again, the things we have here are deeply satisfying. Ragnarock, the Con/big concert for the fans of the Pantheon, is an inspired invention. It\u2019s one part Comic Con, one part Glastonbury \u2013 and you really do feel the size of the thing. A floor map, annotated by Laura, helps anybody who has never been to a convention before feel the size of the thing while those who have will grin knowingly. BEA is no Comic Con but I can\u2019t imagine going to anything crazier than the former, so this is a nice chance to pretend. Plus, music lovers will enjoy the idea of the festival as well as its attendant smaller shows \u2013 like Innara\u2019s super-sexy residency in what would appear to be a church, which is exactly the kind of delightful profanity that old-school Prince might\u2019ve enjoyed.\nThe skillful shorthand deployed by the whole team behind this comic should be shouted once more, by the way. We know each of these gods and their attendant attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors even when they don\u2019t have too much in the way of screentime \u2013 and part of that is because they (the creators) know exactly how to use visual signposting and cultural touchstones (making the gods look like stars that we all know already), but it\u2019s also because they are an incredibly skilled team, economically. Look at the sequence in (I believe) Issue 8, at Dionysus\u2019 rave: the pages are split into 8 equal panels but four of them just have the numbers 1/2/3/4. The other four share some piece of storytelling. This ought to be constrictive but, for some reason, it ends up being propulsive: the story is told with sharp economy and you get everything you need in nearly the barest amount of space. Judging from some of the \u201capocrypha\u201d in the back of the collection, that took a whoooooole lot of work\u2026 but, just saying, you can see it on the page: this comic soars.\nRating: 5 out of 5. Again, they really know how to close out an arc on a bang, pun sorrilly intended. But the expansion of the world of the Pantheon has me absolutely delighted and the concept behind the comic continues to be riveting, even as you realize how simple and silly it could be in less-talented hands. I can\u2019t think of another comic that made me need to read the next issue so badly \u2013 or one that has felt so much like exactly what I wanted to find, even though I had no idea I was looking for it. Thank god we don\u2019t have to wait 90 years for more.",

Her favorite zombie movies are Night of the Living Dead (1965) and Shaun of the Dead. In case of a zombie attack, Kristy would rely on her husband (\u201cHe\u2019s tougher than Bear Grylls\u201d) to prevent from being bitten, and would be a survivor with a machete that could cut zombie heads off with one swing.\nHaving had the opportunity to receive and stitch Kristy\u2019s designs from Zombie Cross-Stitch: 12 Patterns to Raise the Dead, I can say that it is a great place to begin even if you have not cross-stitched before. The book is well-written, with clear instructions on how to cross stitch. The kit is complete with pretty much everything you need to get going immediately, save for a pair of scissors. None of the patterns are so difficult that a beginner could not follow them, but most are also interesting enough that an experienced stitcher would be able to enjoy them as well.\nIf you are not a stitcher, or if you are and don\u2019t have the time to complete everything you would like, I am sharing one of Kristy\u2019s stitched, (unprofessionally) framed designs that I completed.

The flags of other countries should be arranged in alphabetical order from left to right.\u201d\n\u201cWhen displayed in a row of house flags, the National Flag shall be in front of the center of the line or on the left (observer\u2019s point of view) of the row.

The house flags should be arranged in alphabetical order, by precedence or by protocol order from left to right (the observer\u2019s point of view).\u201d\nSection 18 of the Implementing Rules and Regulations of Republic Act 8491 dictates that in a row of flags, the PH flag should be TO the left of the observer (and ON the right of the other flag). This is to acknowledge the precedence of the PH flag in PH soil. #XiJinpingPH (2/9) pic.twitter.com/O0BgubBwx7\nHowever, there were instances wherein the provision was not followed during the first day of the Chinese president\u2019s visit.\nWitnessing of exchange of agreements\nDuring the witnessing of the exchange of agreements held in Malaca\u00f1ang Palace, the Chinese flag was the one seen on the leftmost side of the row.\nBilateral meeting\nDuring the bilateral meeting between the two countries, the Chinese flag was the one displayed on the leftmost side of the row.\nAnd here it is at bilateral meeting in Malaca\u00f1an Palace. #XiJinpingPH (4/9)\n(photo from @RTVMalacanang) pic.twitter.com/E9thKUxmcw\nInconsistency?\nWhen Xi participated in the wreath-laying ceremony in Rizal Park, the position of the flags were changed to follow protocol.\nIn the first moments of the ceremony, the Chinese flags were displayed on the left side of Rizal\u2019s monument following an observer\u2019s view while the Philippine flags were on the right.\nBut a snapshot taken by a local media outlet showed that at some point, the positioning of the flags was changed. The Philippine flags were placed on the left side, as what the law originally dictates.\nP.S. It\u2019s not like we can\u2019t correct it. On this very same day, the Rizal Park management fixed the flag arrangement so that the PH flag is on the left and the CH flag is on the right.\n(First photo by @cnnphilippines, second by @manilabulletin) #XiJinpingPH (8/9) pic.twitter.com/KLDkok8dHs\nOther cases of protocol breach\nIt was not the first time that the current administration has violated flag protocol.\nWhen Chinese officials of the National People\u2019s Congress paid a courtesy visit to House Speaker Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, the Chinese flags were hoisted on the left side of Batasang Pambansa Complex.\nDuring the official visit of Papua New Guinea Prime Minister Peter O\u2019Neill, the flag of the Philippines was not placed on the leftmost side.\nPresident Rodrigo Duterte in a joint delivery of press statements with Papua New Guinea Prime Minister Peter O\u2019Neill.

It is for his exclusive use and is meant to represent his dignity and authority as the head of the state.\nIt is usually carried when the president attends welcoming ceremonial honors\u2014specifically during the inspection of military troops\u2014to assert his position as the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of the Philippines.\nHowever, the current administration withdrew from the protocol when an honor guard carried the Chinese flag instead of the standard presidential flag.\nThe same case didn\u2019t happen when Duterte attended the official welcoming ceremonies for Japanese Emperor Akihito, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Indonesian President Joko Widodo.\nFormer Presidential Communications Undersecretary Manuel Quezon III shared in a tweet that presidents can break traditions in such cases.\nPresidents, of course, while expected to maintain tradition, can always break with tradition. It can be a dramatic statement with deep meaning, without having to say anything. In that sense 2018 is a year that marks discarding a tradition dating back to 1935. pic.twitter.com/eCIvNl6lwQ\n\u2014 Manuel L.

Among adults, one in six women and one in 33 men suffer sexual assault. (CSOM, U.S. Dept. of Justice, Fact Sheet: What You Need to Know About Sex Offenders (2008) p. 1 [as of March 20, 2017].) Yet only about 30 percent of sexual assaults are reported to law enforcement. (Off. of Sex Offender Sentencing, Monitoring, Registering, and Tracking, U.S. Dept. of Justice, Facts and Statistics, [as of March 20, 2017].)\nDespite rising incarceration rates, the majority of known sex offenders at any given time are not in prison \u2014 and most sex offenders who are imprisoned will eventually be released. (Nat. Governors Assn. Center for Best Practices, Managing Convicted Sex Offenders in the Community (Apr. 2008) pp. 1-2 [as of March 20, 2017].) Like most jurisdictions, California requires convicted sex offenders to register as a means of enabling law enforcement to manage the serious risk to the public of recidivism. (In re Alva (2004) 33 Cal.4th 254, 279.)\nDuring the five-year period from 2006 to 2011, the number of registered sex offenders in the United States increased 23.2 percent. (Nat. Center for Missing & Exploited Children, Number of Registered Sex Offenders in the U.S. Nears Three-quarters of a Million (Jan. 2012) [as of March 20, 2017].) Today, over 850,000 sex offenders are registered throughout the United States. (Nat. Center for Missing & Exploited Children, Map of Registered Sex Offenders in the United States (Dec. 2016) [as of March 20, 2017].) California alone has 75,000 \u2014 more than any other state. (Off. of Atty. Gen., Cal. Megan\u2019s Law Website [as of March 20, 2017]; Cal. Sex Offenders Management Bd., An Assessment of Current Management Practices of Adult Sex Offenders in California (Jan. 2008) p. 55.) How to manage and supervise these offenders is one of the most difficult challenges facing government policymakers today.\nIn response to this challenge, the Legislature in 2006 created the California Sex Offender Management Board (CASOMB) to analyze current practices and recommend improvements. (Pen. Code, \u00a7 9001.)1 One of CASOMB\u2019s foundational principles was that sex offender management strategies should be based on reliable information and empirical research concerning the efficacy and cost effectiveness of different approaches. (CASOMB, Recommendations Rep. (Jan. 2010) p. 12; see \u00a7 9001, subd. (i).) Following a series of public hearings and meetings (\u00a7 9002, subd. (b)), CASOMB issued a report recommending best practices in a variety of areas relating to the management of sex offenders, including their reentry into the community, supervision, housing, and treatment. (CASOMB, Recommendations Rep., supra, at pp. 5-6, 12.) Some (but not all) of those recommendations were subsequently adopted by the Legislature in the Chelsea King Child Predator Prevention Act of 2010 (Chelsea\u2019s Law). (Stats. 2010, ch. 219, \u00a7 1 et seq.)\nOne of the CASOMB report\u2019s conclusions was that sex offender treatment differs in important respects from ordinary psychotherapy. Sex offenders can be required to participate in treatment, are not free to determine the nature and course of their own therapy, may be examined with a polygraph to verify the information they provide to their therapists and probation officers, and may encounter greater intrusions on the confidentiality of their discussions with treatment providers, so that probation officers can keep abreast of the offenders\u2019 progress and compliance with probation. (CASOMB, Recommendations Rep., supra, at pp. 30-31.) CASOMB concluded that the increased supervision mandated by Chelsea\u2019s Law can pay substantial dividends: sex offender-specific treatment has been shown to reduce recidivism by up to 40 percent. (CASOMB, Recommendations Rep., supra, at p. 35.)\nAt issue in this appeal are two parts of Chelsea\u2019s Law, both relating to a sex offender\u2019s mandatory treatment. Section 1203.067, subdivision (b)(3) requires a convicted sex offender, as a condition of probation, to waive \u201cany privilege against self-incrimination\u201d and to participate \u201cin polygraph examinations, which shall be part of the sex offender management program.\u201d Section 1203.067, subdivision (b)(4) requires, again as a condition of probation, a waiver by the convicted sex offender of the \u201cpsychotherapist-patient privilege to enable communication between the sex offender management professional and supervising probation officer, pursuant to Section 290.09.\u201d\nDefendant Ignacio Garcia contends that conditioning probation on the waiver of his privilege against self-incrimination, as well as on his participation in polygraph examinations, violates his Fifth Amendment rights. We conclude that the condition mandated by section 1203.067, subdivision (b)(3) directs defendant to answer fully and truthfully all questions posed to him as part of the sex offender management program. But because we deem his responses compelled within the meaning of the Fifth Amendment, they cannot lawfully be used against him in a criminal proceeding. (Minnesota v. Murphy (1984) 465 U.S. 420, 435, fn. 7 (Murphy); accord, People v. Racklin (2011) 195 Cal.App.4th 872, 880.) Where, as here, the responses would therefore pose no risk of incrimination, neither the fact that he was compelled to respond nor the fact that his responses were being monitored by a polygraph offends the Fifth Amendment.\nWe likewise reject defendant\u2019s claim that conditioning probation on the waiver of his psychotherapist-patient privilege violates his constitutional right to privacy and is overbroad under California law. It is neither overbroad nor violative of defendant\u2019s right to privacy to require a limited waiver of the psychotherapist-patient privilege for the purpose of enabling the treatment professional to consult with the probation officer and the polygraph examiner. We therefore affirm the judgment of the Court of Appeal.\nOriginally charged with six counts of forcible lewd conduct with a child (\u00a7 288, subd. (b)(1)), defendant pleaded no contest in a negotiated disposition to two counts of nonforcible lewd conduct. (\u00a7 288, subd. (a).) The trial court suspended imposition of the sentence and placed defendant on probation for three years, ordered him to serve one year in jail and register as a sex offender, and mandated his participation in an approved sex offender management program. Over defense objection, the court also imposed the two probation conditions that are the subject of this appeal: \u201cThe defendant shall waive any privilege against self-incrimination and participate in polygraph examinations, which shall be part of the sex offender management program, pursuant to Section 1203.067(b)(3) of the Penal Code\u201d (the subdivision (b)(3) condition); and \u201cThe defendant shall waive any psychotherapist-patient privilege to enable communication between the sex offender management professional and the Probation Officer, pursuant to Section 1203.067(b)(4) and Section 290.09 of the Penal Code\u201d (the subdivision (b)(4) condition).\nDefendant appealed. He claimed that the coerced waiver of his privilege against self-incrimination and the required participation in polygraph examinations violated the Fifth Amendment and, like the mandated waiver of his psychotherapist-patient privilege, was unconstitutionally overbroad. The Court of Appeal affirmed. All three justices upheld the validity of the subdivision (b)(4) condition. The panel was divided, however, as to the validity of the subdivision (b)(3) condition. The majority reasoned that the choice defendant faced between forfeiting his privilege against self-incrimination (on the one hand) or asserting the privilege and having his probation revoked (on the other) would present \u201c\u2009\u2018the classic penalty situation, [in which] the failure to assert the privilege would be excused, and the probationer\u2019s answers would be deemed compelled and inadmissible in a criminal proceeding.\u2019\u2009\u201d Because \u201cthe mere extraction of compelled statements does not violate the Fifth Amendment\u201d and no statements so extracted could be used against defendant in any criminal proceeding, it necessarily followed (according to the majority) that the subdivision (b)(3) condition did not violate the Fifth Amendment.\nThe majority also rejected the claim that the conditions were unconstitutionally overbroad. Addressing the required waiver of the privilege against self-incrimination and participation in polygraph examinations, the appellate court found these conditions closely tailored to the purpose of allowing \u201cthe state to discover the full extent of the risks created by the sex offender\u2019s freedom so that the state can respond with additional treatment, closer monitoring, and other measures necessary to protect the community.\u201d For similar reasons, the majority found that the waiver of the psychotherapist-patient privilege neither violated defendant\u2019s constitutional right to privacy nor was it overbroad.\nJustice Grover concurred in part and dissented in part. In her view, \u201c[t]he denial of probation for refusal to accept the mandated condition attaches an impermissible penalty to the exercise of the Fifth Amendment privilege\u201d and is itself unconstitutional.\nWe granted review to consider the validity of the probation conditions mandated by section 1203.067, subdivision (b)(3) and (b)(4). Prior to oral argument, the Attorney General informed us that defendant had completed his probationary term. Although the question of these probation conditions\u2019 validity is now moot with respect to this defendant, we will exercise our inherent power to retain and decide the case so that we may settle an important issue that has divided the Court of Appeal. (See People v. Moran (2016) 1 Cal.5th 398, 408, fn. 8.)\nAt any given moment, a substantial majority of convicted sex offenders are under some form of conditional supervision in the community. (CSOM, U.S. Dept. of Justice, Recidivism of Sex Offenders (2001) p. 1 ] [as of March 20, 2017].) Many jurisdictions have adopted a comprehensive approach to managing these sex offenders, under which treatment providers work together with supervising probation and parole agents to devise an individualized supervision and treatment plan for each offender. Although the available data provide only a partial basis for inference, the findings of relevant studies appear consistent with the conclusion that offenders who receive comprehensive treatment have a significantly lower rate of recidivism and rearrest than offenders who did not participate in such treatment. (CSOM, U.S. Dept. of Justice, An Overview of Sex Offender Management (2002) pp. 1-2 [as of March 20, 2017].)\nWhen Chelsea\u2019s Law was enacted, California had been relying on a patchwork of management strategies that was crafted \u201c\u2009\u2018piece by piece through separate and uncoordinated legislative and administrative actions.\u2019\u2009\u201d (Sen. Com. on Public Safety, Analysis of Assem. Bill No. 1844 (2009-2010 Reg. Sess.) as amended June 2, 2010, pp. 31-32.) The new provisions adopted a unified strategy for sex offender management known as the \u201cContainment Model,\u201d which was characterized by CASOMB as \u201c\u2009\u2018the best practice for community supervision of sex offenders.\u2019\u2009\u201d (Ibid., quoting CASOMB, Recommendations Rep., supra, at pp. 32-33.)\nThe Containment Model adopted by the Legislature depends on three interrelated elements: supervision and monitoring of the sex offender while on probation; sex offender-specific assessment and treatment; and the use of static, dynamic, and future assessments of the risk of reoffending, including the State Authorized Risk Assessment Tool for Sex Offenders (SARATSO). (CASOMB, Sex Offender Treatment Program Certification Requirements (2014 rev.) pp. 6, 8; Sen. Appropriations Com., Analysis of Assem. Bill No. 1844 (2009-2010 Reg. Sess.) as amended Aug. 2, 2010, p. 5.) A major premise of the model is that the mental health professional, probation officer, and polygraph examiner will work together closely to assess the offender\u2019s compliance with, and participation in, the treatment program as well as the offender\u2019s risk of reoffending. (Sen. Com. on Public Safety, Bill Analysis of Assem. Bill No. 1844, supra, at p. 33.) Indeed, the law specifies that the treatment professional must communicate with the offender\u2019s probation officer on a regular basis (or at least once a month) and share pertinent information with the certified polygraph examiner \u201cas required.\u201d (\u00a7 290.09, subd. (c).)\nIn enacting a statutory framework to implement the Containment Model, the Legislature directed CASOMB to develop and maintain standards for certification of sex offender management programs, professionals, and polygraph examiners. (\u00a7 9003, subds. (a), (b), (d).) The relevant standards require the containment team to obtain accurate information about the offender\u2019s prior victims, the offender\u2019s access to potential new victims, and the high-risk behavior unique to that sex offender \u2014 especially when that history includes categories of victims or types of behavior stretching beyond the crimes of conviction. Postconviction polygraph examinations are used to elicit and verify this information. (CASOMB, Post-Conviction Sex Offender Polygraph Certification Standards (June 2011) pp. 10-23; see \u00a7 9003, subd. (b) [\u201cprograms shall include polygraph examinations\u201d].) According to the theory of the model, a polygraph examination (or the threat of one) encourages the offender to be more complete and accurate when detailing his or her sexual history, provides a method of verifying whether the offender is currently engaging in or planning to engage in unlawful behavior, and helps disrupt the pattern of denial that \u201c\u2009\u2018is generally regarded as a main impediment to successful therapy.\u2019\u2009\u201d (McKune v. Lile (2002) 536 U.S. 24, 33 (plur. opn. of Kennedy, J.); see English et al., Community Containment of Sex Offender Risk: A Promising Approach in Protecting Society From Sexually Dangerous Offenders: Law, Justice, and Therapy (Winick & LaFond edits., 2003) p. 266.) The supervising probation or parole officer then uses information obtained through treatment and verified by the polygraph examination to assess the risk posed by the offender and take appropriate remedial action. (Ibid.)\nThis approach depends on the cooperative efforts and expertise of each part of the containment team. Accordingly, CASOMB concluded that adoption of the full model was necessary to reduce the risk associated with managing convicted sex offenders on probation. (Sen. Com. on Public Safety, Analysis of Assem. Bill No. 1844, supra, at pp. 30-31, quoting CASOMB letter to Assemblyman Fletcher.) What CASOMB asserted, in particular, is that the absence of open and ongoing communication among the professionals and others involved in the offender\u2019s supervision \u201ccompromises the purpose of the containment team approach and may jeopardize the safety of the community.\u201d (CASOMB, Sex Offender Treatment Program Certification Requirements, supra, at p. 12.)\nFollowing this recommendation, the Legislature mandated certain conditions for any registered sex offender placed on probation. Among these are participation and successful completion of an approved sex offender management program (\u00a7 1203.067, subd. (b)(1), (2)); waiver of the privilege against self-incrimination and participation in polygraph examinations as part of the sex offender management program (id., subd. (b)(3)); and waiver of the psychotherapist-patient privilege to enable communication between the sex offender management professional and the supervising probation officer and polygraph examiner (id., subd. (b)(4)). At issue in this appeal is the constitutionality, under both state and federal law, of the subdivision (b)(3) and (b)(4) conditions.\nA. The Validity of the Probation Condition Requiring Waiver of the Privilege Against Self-Incrimination and Participation in Polygraph Examinations (the Subdivision (b)(3) Condition)\n1. Waiver of the privilege against self-incrimination\nDefendant\u2019s argument that section 1203.067, subdivision (b)(3) imposes an invalid condition rests on two contentions: (1) that the probation condition requires him to waive his Fifth Amendment privilege, and (2) that a coerced waiver of his Fifth Amendment privilege is unconstitutional. Although we agree that a coerced waiver of the privilege against self-incrimination would raise serious constitutional questions, our examination of the subdivision (b)(3) condition in its proper context, as well as the structure and purpose of Chelsea\u2019s Law, demonstrates that the Legislature has not actually required probationers to waive the protections of the Fifth Amendment. The condition is properly read instead to require that probationers answer all questions posed by the containment team fully and truthfully, with the knowledge that these compelled responses could not be used against them in a subsequent criminal proceeding. Because there is no Fifth Amendment privilege against compelled disclosure of information that cannot be used to incriminate the probationer (Fisher v. United States (1976) 425 U.S. 391, 400-401; accord, Maldonado v. Superior Court (2012) 53 Cal.4th 1112, 1134 (Maldonado)), it follows that the condition, properly understood, does not violate the Fifth Amendment.\nWe begin with the construction proposed by defendant. The subdivision (b)(3) condition, he asserts, should be interpreted in the broadest manner as requiring him to waive all of his Fifth Amendment protections, including the right to bar use of his compelled statements in a criminal trial. But this construction, he concludes, is unconstitutional under well-established precedent. In short, defendant argues that the Legislature enacted a patently unconstitutional statute, and that we have no choice but to strike it down.\nDefendant is correct that it would raise serious constitutional questions to require defendants to waive their privilege against self-incrimination as a condition of probation. As the high court has explained, \u201c\u2009\u2018a State may not impose substantial penalties because a witness elects to exercise [the] Fifth Amendment right not to give incriminating testimony \u2024\u2019\u2009\u201d (Murphy, supra, 465 U.S. at p. 434.) For example, the government cannot condition a benefit such as public employment on a waiver of the privilege against self-incrimination, even if the waiver is ultimately deemed ineffective. (Sanitation Men v. Sanitation Comm\u2019r (1968) 392 U.S. 280, 283-285; Gardner v. Broderick (1967) 392 U.S. 273, 279 [\u201cthe mandate of the great privilege against self-incrimination does not tolerate the attempt, regardless of its ultimate effectiveness, to coerce a waiver of the immunity it confers on penalty of the loss of employment\u201d]; accord, Spielbauer v. County of Santa Clara (2009) 45 Cal.4th 704, 720 [\u201cthe Fifth Amendment forbids dismissal from public employment for refusal to surrender the privilege against self-incrimination\u201d].) The high court has also found \u201ca substantial basis in our cases\u201d to support the proposition that conditioning a grant of probation on surrender of the Fifth Amendment privilege would likewise \u201ccreate[\u2009] the classic penalty situation\u201d and thus be unconstitutional. (Murphy, at p. 435; see id. at p. 436 [requiring a defendant \u201cto choose between making incriminating statements and jeopardizing his conditional liberty by remaining silent\u201d is \u201cthe extra, impermissible step\u201d].) As in the other \u201cpenalty\u201d cases, the statements of a probationer faced with such a choice would be inadmissible in a criminal prosecution. (Id. at p. 435.)\nThe People do not dispute defendant\u2019s characterization of Murphy or his contention that it would be unconstitutional to condition a grant of probation on surrender of his Fifth Amendment privilege. What they claim instead is that we must reject defendant\u2019s broad construction of the subdivision (b)(3) condition and consider whether the condition can reasonably be construed in a manner that is consistent with the Constitution. They rely on the doctrine of constitutional avoidance.\nUnder the doctrine, a statute should not be construed to violate the Constitution \u201c\u2009\u2018\u2009\u201cif any other possible construction remains available.\u201d\u2009\u2019\u2009\u201d (People v. Trujeque (2015) 61 Cal.4th 227, 256; accord, DeBartolo Corp. v. Fla. Gulf Coast Trades Council (1988) 485 U.S. 568, 575 [\u201cwhere an otherwise acceptable construction of a statute would raise serious constitutional problems, the Court will construe the statute to avoid such problems unless such construction is plainly contrary to the intent of Congress\u201d].) The theory underlying the canon rests not only on a preference for avoiding the unnecessary resolution of constitutional questions, but also on the presumption that the Legislature (whose members have sworn to uphold the Constitution) did not \u201cintend[\u2009] to infringe constitutionally protected liberties or usurp power constitutionally forbidden it.\u201d (DeBartolo Corp., at p. 575; see People v. Superior Court (Romero) (1996) 13 Cal.4th 497, 509.) The basis for that presumption is especially strong in this case. Not only did the high court\u2019s Murphy decision predate the enactment of Chelsea\u2019s Law by over 25 years, but that same decision also set out with some care how a state should go about establishing a valid way of obtaining the information necessary to monitor probationers released into the community. As the high court explained, \u201ca State may validly insist on answers to even incriminating questions and hence sensibly administer its probation system, as long as it recognizes that the required answers may not be used in a criminal proceeding and thus eliminates the threat of incrimination.\u201d (Murphy, supra, 465 U.S. at p. 435, fn. 7.)\nDefendant nonetheless claims the avoidance canon is inapplicable here. The subdivision (b)(3) condition, he contends, is unambiguous and must be accorded its literal meaning: that it requires the waiver of any privilege against self-incrimination. The People, by contrast, argue that the condition is ambiguous, and conclude that \u201cthe historical context, the plain language, and the positioning of the waiver all indicate that the Legislature intended to limit invocation of the privilege against self-incrimination only in the narrow context of probation supervision and treatment,\u201d without precluding probationers from objecting \u201cto the admission of compelled statements in later criminal proceedings.\u201d Under this interpretation, the word \u201cany\u201d in subdivision (b)(3) would not refer to all aspects of the self-incrimination privilege, but rather to \u201cany\u201d right to remain silent that probationers might assert as a basis for refusing to answer questions posed by the containment team. What we find is that defendant\u2019s construction places too much reliance on one particular reading of the provision\u2019s text, and too little on the provision\u2019s purpose and context.\nText may sometimes seem unambiguous in isolation, even as it harbors greater complexity when considered in the context of surrounding provisions and the overall statutory structure. (Poole v. Orange County Fire Authority (2015) 61 Cal.4th 1378, 1391-1392 (conc. opn. of Cu\u00e9llar, J.), citing Horwich v. Superior Court (1999) 21 Cal.4th 272, 276, and Hodges v. Superior Court (1999) 21 Cal.4th 109, 114.) Both the Penal Code (see \u00a7 7, subd. 16) and our case law (People v. Leiva (2013) 56 Cal.4th 498, 506) direct us to construe words and phrases according to their statutory context. We consider the text in conjunction with the context and purpose of the statute even where, as here, the statutory language has a \u201chighly technical\u201d meaning. (Zuni Public School Dist. No. 89 v. Department of Education (2007) 550 U.S. 81, 99.)\nOur primary task, after all, is to identify and effectuate the underlying purpose of the law we are construing. (Goodman v. Lozano (2010) 47 Cal.4th 1327, 1332.) The statutory provision here describes the waiver term of probation as \u201cpart of the sex offender management program.\u201d (\u00a7 1203.067, subd. (b)(3).) Other parts of the same subdivision provide that participation in a sex offender management program for at least a year is a requirement of probation, as is successful completion of the program, and that the program must follow the standards developed by CASOMB. (Id., subd. (b)(2), citing \u00a7 9003.) Those standards emphasize the need for complete and accurate information about the probationer\u2019s prior victims, the probationer\u2019s access to potential new victims, and the high-risk behavior unique to that sex offender. It is precisely such information that is meant to be elicited by the psychotherapist and probation officer, and verified by polygraph examinations. (CASOMB, Post-Conviction Sex Offender Polygraph Certification Standards, supra, pp. 10-23.)\nSo any reasonable understanding of statutory purpose here must acknowledge the Containment Model\u2019s dependence on the information shared by the probationer. The People contend that the model\u2019s pillars are (1) measures designed to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information provided by sex offenders to treatment professionals, and (2) collaboration and communication among the containment team members to enable development of an individualized treatment plan and to ensure the offender\u2019s compliance with it. The model contemplates that the privilege against self-incrimination must not be used to impede treatment professionals from eliciting a full disclosure of the offender\u2019s sex offense history, which is verified for completeness and accuracy by the polygraph examination. The containment team, in turn, uses the verified information to formulate an accurate risk profile and monitoring plan with the goal of preventing recidivism and promoting public safety. Depriving the containment team of the ability to insist on answers to their questions would, according to the People, \u201cundercut[\u2009] this core pillar of the model.\u201d (See State v. Fuller (Mont. 1996) 915 P.2d 809, 816 [\u201ca defendant who refuses to disclose his offense history cannot be successfully treated\u201d].)\nThe purpose of the subdivision (b)(3) condition can thus be understood as a means of ensuring that the probationer fully, and accurately, answers questions pertinent to the sex offender management program. Without that insight into the probationer\u2019s history and current state of mind, the containment team would be seriously hampered in its vital task of monitoring the probationer in the community. If the containment team is to fulfill its proper role in the offender management system, the flow of information to the team must not be subject to disruption by a probationer\u2019s assertion of the privilege against self-incrimination.\nBecause it would frustrate the purpose of the subdivision (b)(3) condition for a probationer to engage in a valid assertion of the privilege that thwarts a core premise of the sex offender management program, it would make no sense to interpret the condition as compelling a waiver that the People concede would be unconstitutional. The People acknowledge the need to read the text of the subdivision (b)(3) condition in the context of the statutory scheme and its purpose. (See generally In re Application of Haines (1925) 195 Cal. 605, 612 [\u201cTo arrive at the legislative intent in the interpretation of statutes the original purpose and object of the legislation must be considered\u201d], disapproved on other grounds in In re Culver (1968) 69 Cal.2d 898, 904-905 & fn. 8.) There is no indication in the structure of Chelsea\u2019s Law or in its legislative history that the Legislature expected (in defiance of the high court\u2019s Murphy decision) that the fruits of the probationer\u2019s statements would be admissible in a subsequent criminal prosecution. In short, defendant\u2019s construction of the subdivision (b)(3) condition is inconsistent with the statutory purpose. So we must reject it. (People v. Leiva, supra, 56 Cal.4th at p. 506.)\nWe conclude instead that the subdivision (b)(3) condition may reasonably be construed in a manner that is both constitutional and consistent with the purpose of Chelsea\u2019s Law. (See People v. Chandler (2014) 60 Cal.4th 508, 524.) The subdivision (b)(3) condition does no more than allow the containment team to overcome the probationer\u2019s Fifth Amendment objections when the team poses potentially incriminating questions. Under this construction, a probationer is required to answer the questions posed by the containment team, on pain of probation revocation should the probationer refuse. In turn, the probationer\u2019s compelled responses may not be used against the probationer in a subsequent criminal prosecution. (Murphy, supra, 465 U.S. at p. 435 & fn. 7.)\nThis construction adequately safeguards a probationer\u2019s Fifth Amendment rights. The Fifth Amendment prohibits the government from using statements compelled under the subdivision (b)(3) condition against the probationer in a criminal trial, whether as direct evidence of guilt or as impeachment. (New Jersey v. Portash (1979) 440 U.S. 450, 458-459.) It also prevents the government from exploiting the information gleaned from those statements to discover other evidence of guilt. (Wong Sun v. United States (1963) 371 U.S. 471, 487-488.) Once a defendant demonstrates that he or she was compelled to disclose evidence of criminal conduct as part of the sex offender management program \u2014 which could ordinarily be established by the defendant\u2019s uncontradicted declaration to that effect \u2014 the burden shifts to the prosecution in a criminal proceeding to demonstrate that its evidence was untainted by the defendant\u2019s prior statements. (See Kastigar v. United States (1972) 406 U.S. 441, 460.) That is, the government remains free to undertake a prosecution for those crimes, but it bears a \u201cheavy burden\u201d to show that its evidence was derived from a legitimate source wholly independent of the compelled testimony. (Id. at p. 461; accord, Maldonado, supra, 53 Cal.4th at pp. 1138-1139, fn. 17.)\nWe therefore interpret the subdivision (b)(3) condition as directing the probationer, in the context of questioning by the containment team, to exchange the privilege against self-incrimination for an immunity against prosecutorial use of the compelled responses. (See United States v. Balsys (1998) 524 U.S. 666, 682.) As this court has previously explained, the Fifth Amendment does not establish a privilege against the compelled disclosure of information; rather, it \u201cprecludes the use of such evidence in a criminal prosecution against the person from whom it was compelled.\u201d (Maldonado, supra, 53 Cal.4th at p. 1134.)\nAt the People\u2019s invitation \u2014 and to remove any doubt on this score \u2014 we explicitly declare that probationers have immunity against the direct and derivative use of any compelled statements elicited under the subdivision (b)(3) condition. (See United States v. Balsys, supra, 524 U.S. at p. 683, fn. 8 [\u201cthe prediction that a court in a future criminal prosecution would be obligated to protect against the evidentiary use of compelled testimony is not enough to satisfy the privilege against compelled self-incrimination\u201d]; cf. Maldonado, supra, 53 Cal.4th at p. 1129, fn. 10 [declaring judicial immunity against use in prosecution\u2019s case-in-chief of an accused\u2019s compelled statement to a prosecution mental health expert]; accord, State v. Evans (Wis. 1977) 252 N.W.2d 664, 668 [declaring judicial immunity against use of incriminating information disclosed under compulsion by a probationer or parolee to a probation or parole agent \u201c[i]n order to guarantee the fifth amendment rights of a probationer or a parolee and at the same time to preserve the integrity of the probation system\u201d].) We further agree with the People that the probationer must be made aware of the protection afforded statements compelled in the course of the sex offender management program. In particular, a probationer must be advised, before treatment begins, that no compelled statement elicited under questioning in the course of the mandatory sex offender management program (or the fruits thereof) may be used against him or her in a subsequent criminal prosecution. (Cf. Evans, supra, at pp. 668-669 [declaring that a probationer or parolee should be made aware that potentially incriminating answers compelled under questioning by a probation or parole officer cannot be used in a subsequent criminal proceeding].)2\n2. Participation in polygraph examinations\nThe trial court also conditioned defendant\u2019s probation on his participation in polygraph examinations connected to the sex offender management program. Defendant argues that mandating the use of polygraph examinations to \u201celicit incriminating information\u201d about \u201cuncharged offenses\u201d violates the Fifth Amendment. But as explained earlier, the information elicited under compulsion by the containment team in interviews and by polygraph examinations may not be used against the probationer in a criminal prosecution and therefore does not offend the Fifth Amendment. (Brown v. Superior Court (2002) 101 Cal.App.4th 313, 320 [\u201cif the questions put to the probationer [during the polygraph examination] are relevant to his probationary status and pose no realistic threat of incrimination in a separate criminal proceeding, the Fifth Amendment privilege would not be available and the probationer would be required to answer those questions truthfully\u201d]; accord, United States v. Locke (5th Cir. 2007) 482 F.3d 764, 767 [\u201cThe fact that the questions were asked to Locke in the context of a polygraph test does not convert the question-and-answer session into a Fifth Amendment violation\u201d].)\nDefendant complains next that the scope of the mandated examinations under the subdivision (b)(3) condition is not limited to prior or potential sex offenses but would permit a polygraph examiner to ask \u201canything at all, without limitation,\u201d including questions about \u201chis medical history or personal financial matters having nothing to do with any criminal conduct.\u201d He contends that requiring him to participate in polygraph examinations of unlimited scope would be overbroad and that the condition should be narrowed.\nWe reject the claim of overbreadth here. The scope of the polygraph examination is not unbounded, as defendant suggests. Rather, it is limited to that which is reasonably necessary to promote the goals of probation. As the Court of Appeal pointed out, the polygraph testing condition is expressly linked to the purposes and needs of the sex offender management program. (See \u00a7 1203.067, subd. (b)(3) [requiring \u201cparticipation in polygraph examinations, which shall be part of the sex offender management program\u201d].) That program requires disclosure of each prior sex offense so as to enable identification of the psychological and physiological factors associated with the probationer\u2019s crimes and development of a plan to reform and rehabilitate the probationer. The polygraph is a reasonable means of verifying the accuracy and completeness of those disclosures and of ensuring the probationer\u2019s compliance with treatment and supervision, both of which allow the containment team to discover and monitor the risks posed by the probationer\u2019s release to the community. (In re Jordan R. (2012) 205 Cal.App.4th 111, 129, fn. 17.) Because the scope of the polygraph examination is already focused by its terms on criminal conduct related to the sex offender management program, it is a valid condition of probation and does not require further limitation. (See People v. Lent (1975) 13 Cal.3d 481, 486.) The polygraph examination, of course, may also include questions unrelated to the probationer\u2019s treatment and supervision but that are reasonably necessary to establish a baseline physiological response. Such questions do not render the condition overbroad.\nB. The Constitutionality of the Probation Condition Requiring Waiver of the Psychotherapist-patient Privilege (the Subdivision (b)(4) Condition)\nDefendant contends that the condition requiring him to waive his psychotherapist-patient privilege violates his right to privacy and is unconstitutionally overbroad. As we recently did in People v. Gonzales (2013) 56 Cal.4th 353, 385 (Gonzales), we will assume (without deciding) that the federal Constitution can in some circumstances protect convicted sex offenders from governmentally compelled disclosure of privileged communications with their psychotherapists. We nonetheless conclude that the subdivision (b)(4) condition is not unconstitutional.3\nTo determine whether the sharing of confidential communications between defendant and his psychotherapist (see Evid. Code, \u00a7 1012) with certain members of the containment team would violate defendant\u2019s asserted federal constitutional right to privacy, we balance the particular intrusion on defendant\u2019s privacy against the justification for the probation condition. (Gonzales, supra, 56 Cal.4th at p. 386.) Defendant, as a probationer, has a diminished expectation of liberty and privacy as compared to an ordinary citizen. (United States v. Knights (2001) 534 U.S. 112, 119.) In addition, the waiver required by the probation condition is quite narrow. By its express terms, the waiver is limited to that which is necessary \u201cto enable communication between the sex offender management professional and supervising probation officer, pursuant to Section 290.09.\u201d (\u00a7 1203.067, subd. (b)(4).) Consequently, a probationer\u2019s confidential communications may be shared only with the probation officer and the certified polygraph examiner, who is likewise explicitly authorized to receive \u201cpertinent information \u2024 as required\u201d from the sex offender management professional under subdivision (c) of section 290.09. (See \u00a7 9003, subd. (b) [sex offender management programs provided by sex offender management professionals \u201cshall include polygraph examinations by a certified polygraph examiner\u201d].)4 The waiver does not relieve the psychotherapist, probation officer, or polygraph examiner of their duty to otherwise maintain the confidentiality of this information (although the mandatory reporting laws may themselves require a probation officer, psychotherapist, or other classified individual to inform the appropriate agencies about suspected child abuse or neglect (see \u00a7\u00a7 11165.7, subd. (a)(15), (18), (21), (34), 11165.9), nor does it divest defendant of the ability to assert the privilege to prevent further disclosure of the shared communications. (CASOMB, Post-Conviction Sex Offender Polygraph Certification Standards, supra, at p. 5.) We expect that the members of the containment team will act in accordance with their professional obligations and ensure the integrity of the process. Section 11167.5, moreover, criminalizes unauthorized disclosure of confidential information elicited under the mandatory reporting law.\nAgainst that limited intrusion, we must weigh the state\u2019s strong and legitimate interest. The core of that interest is allowing the psychotherapist, probation officer, and polygraph examiner to exchange relevant information about a probationer\u2019s reformation and rehabilitation, including information disclosed during the probationer\u2019s therapy. (\u00a7 290.03, subds. (a), (b).) The Legislature has recognized that the effectiveness of the Containment Model depends on \u201c\u2009\u2018open and ongoing communication\u2019\u2009\u201d among the professionals involved in \u201c\u2009\u2018supervising, assessing, evaluating, treating, supporting, and monitoring sex offenders.\u2019\u2009\u201d (Gonzales, supra, 56 Cal.4th at p. 377.) Unless these professionals can communicate freely about the probationer\u2019s situation, the purpose of the Containment Model may be compromised and the safety of the community may be placed in jeopardy. (Ibid.)\nIn Gonzales, we did not have occasion to consider the validity and effect of an analogous waiver condition for parolees. Those provisions had not yet gone into effect at the time the defendant there was placed on parole and participated in parole-mandated therapy. (Gonzales, supra, 56 Cal.4th at p. 378, fn. 9.) Moreover, the intrusion on the psychotherapist-patient privilege in Gonzales was more substantial than in this case. The confidential communications were shared, over the parolee\u2019s objection, with the government, and were introduced at trial on the petition to commit the parolee as a sexually violent predator. (Id. at p. 357.) But applying a weighing process similar to what we apply here, Gonzales held that the involuntary disclosure and use of a parolee\u2019s confidential communications with his psychotherapist, while state law error, was not a violation of the parolee\u2019s federal constitutional right to privacy. (Id. at p. 388.) It follows that the more limited intrusion on the privilege in this case did not violate defendant\u2019s federal right to privacy, either. (See In re Christopher M. (2005) 127 Cal.App.4th 684, 695 [probation condition requiring disclosure to the probation officer and the court of all records concerning the juvenile\u2019s court-ordered medical and psychological treatment did not violate the federal right to privacy], disapproved on other grounds in Gonzales, at p. 375, fn. 6.)\nEven without any waiver of the psychotherapist-patient privilege, the psychotherapist has a statutory duty to report suspected child abuse or neglect. (\u00a7 11165.7, subd. (a)(21); see generally People v. Stritzinger (1983) 34 Cal.3d 505, 512.) The possibility that a probation officer or polygraph examiner might also qualify as a mandatory reporter does not materially alter the intrusion on a defendant\u2019s privacy.\nWe likewise reject defendant\u2019s claim that the subdivision (b)(4) condition is unconstitutionally overbroad. The required waiver extends only so far as is reasonably necessary to enable the probation officer and polygraph examiner to understand the challenges defendant presents and to measure the effectiveness of the treatment and monitoring program. (Cf. Gonzales, supra, 56 Cal.4th at p. 377 [noting that the analogous waiver of the privilege in \u00a7 3008, subd. (d) extends only to what \u201cis considered necessary to the effective functioning of the parole process with regard to the parolee in question\u201d].) Defendant\u2019s assertion that these goals can be achieved without disclosure of any privileged information \u2014 i.e., by limiting disclosures to a record of his attendance at therapy sessions and a general opinion as to whether he was cooperating and progressing \u2014 is flatly inconsistent with the Containment Model the Legislature adopted, and is supported by no evidence or even an explanation.\nDefendant contends that his overbreadth argument finds support in In re Corona (2008) 160 Cal.App.4th 315. His reliance is misplaced. Corona, a sex offender, was required as a condition of parole to execute a waiver of his patient-therapist privilege to permit his parole officer to stay informed about information Corona disclosed during his state-reimbursed group therapy program. (Id. at p. 319.) But Corona did not challenge that waiver. Instead, he challenged the validity of a waiver the state sought as to therapy he had voluntarily arranged with a private psychotherapist. In striking down only the latter waiver, the Court of Appeal concluded that the private therapy was something for which Corona should be credited, not penalized, and that the compelled waiver of the privilege concerning the private therapist would discourage Corona from obtaining needed treatment. (Id. at p. 321.) Because the waiver would therefore have a \u201creverse effect\u201d on his reformation and rehabilitation, the Court of Appeal deemed it to be \u201cunreasonable and unnecessary.\u201d (Ibid.) Here, by contrast, the therapy is itself a condition of probation and is provided by a state-paid therapist. (Gonzales, supra, 56 Cal.4th at p. 386.) And as the People indicate, the ongoing communication among members of the team remains essential to the Containment Model\u2019s success in reducing recidivism for convicted sex offenders. So the Legislature was entitled to conclude that the Containment Model, and the limited sharing of information it requires, would be more effective in rehabilitating and reforming a convicted sex offender than a model that maintained the privilege to its fullest extent. (Cf. People v. Juarez (2004) 114 Cal.App.4th 1095, 1104 [\u201cA sentencing determination predicated on the judicial repudiation of legislative policy constitutes an abuse of discretion\u201d].)\nFinally, we find that the limited scope of the subdivision (b)(4) condition is consistent with Regents of University of California v. Superior Court (2008) 165 Cal.App.4th 672 (Regents) \u2013\u2013 a case on which defendant relies. In the underlying action there, the Regents had brought an antitrust suit against a group of energy suppliers. As part of discovery in the antitrust suit, the Regents requested materials protected by the attorney-client and work product privileges, which the defendants had previously disclosed to a federal corporate fraud task force. (Id. at p. 676.) The defendants had willingly disclosed these materials to demonstrate their \u201ccooperation with the government\u201d consistent with federal enforcement guidelines and on the condition that \u201cdisclosure of information to the government was not a waiver of the attorney-client and work product privileges.\u201d (Id. at pp. 676-677.) The Regents contended that the disclosure constituted a waiver of the privilege for all purposes. (Id. at p. 677.)\nIn rejecting the claim that prior disclosure had effected a blanket waiver of privilege, the Court of Appeal accepted the uncontradicted allegations that each defendant believed it would have suffered severe regulatory or criminal consequences had it failed to share the requested information with the federal investigators. (Regents, supra, 165 Cal.App.4th at pp. 677-678.) The Court of Appeal then concluded that disclosure under such circumstances was a product of \u201ccoercion\u201d within the meaning of Evidence Code section 912, subdivision (a) and thus did not constitute a waiver of the privilege for all purposes. (Regents, at pp. 683-684.)\nIn this case, defendant faced the choice between waiving his psychotherapist-patient privilege or going to prison. Defendant is correct that the condition involves an element of coercion, but he is mistaken in concluding that the condition thereby is invalid. Here, as in Regents, the disclosure does not cause the privilege to evaporate, because, as noted ante on page 16, the privileged information is disclosed under compulsion. (See Evid. Code, \u00a7 912, subd. (a).) The subdivision (b)(4) condition thus should be read to intrude on the privilege only to a limited extent: the extent specified in the condition itself, which describes what is reasonably necessary to enable communications among the psychotherapist, probation officer, and polygraph examiner; facilitate their understanding of the challenges defendant presents; and allow those containment team members to measure the effectiveness of the sex offender treatment and monitoring program. (Pen. Code, \u00a7 1203.067, subd. (b)(4).) In all other respects, the privilege remains intact. So construed, the condition is not overbroad.\nWhen the Legislature adopted the Containment Model for the management of sex offenders who are granted probation, it balanced the constitutional interests of those sex offenders released into the community under supervision with the compelling need to protect public safety. The success of that carefully wrought model depends on an accurate and complete understanding of the sex offender\u2019s criminal proclivities and vulnerabilities. Read in light of the relevant constitutional provisions and the purpose of Chelsea\u2019s Law, the probation conditions challenged here enable those charged with monitoring the probationer to obtain the information they need, while otherwise safeguarding the probationer\u2019s privacy and protecting the probationer from compelled self-incrimination. The judgment of the Court of Appeal is affirmed.\nCONCURRING OPINION BY KRUGER, J.\nPenal Code section 1203.067 requires criminal defendants who must register as sex offenders to participate in an approved sex offender management program as a condition of probation. For purposes of the program, the defendant must, among other things, waive \u201cany privilege against self-incrimination\u201d (Pen. Code, \u00a7 1203.067, subd. (b)(3)), participate in polygraph examinations, and waive \u201cany psychotherapist-patient privilege to enable communication between the sex offender management professional and supervising probation officer\u201d (id., subd. (b)(4)). I join the majority in concluding that, properly construed, these conditions are not overbroad, do not violate the defendant\u2019s right to privacy, and do not violate the defendant\u2019s Fifth Amendment rights. I write separately to elaborate on my views on the proper construction of the condition requiring a waiver of \u201cany privilege against self-incrimination.\u201d (Id., subd. (b)(3).)\nDefendant contends this self-incrimination waiver provision \u201cpreclude [s] any attempts by a probationer, present and future, to seek protection under the self-incrimination clause for compelled statements made during the sex offender management program.\u201d So construed, defendant contends, the condition violates the self-incrimination clause of the federal Constitution\u2019s Fifth Amendment by requiring probationers not only to respond to potentially incriminating official questions, but also to anticipatorily waive any right to object if the state later uses their answers against them in criminal proceedings. The Attorney General disavows this interpretation. He contends that the provision merely requires probationers to provide truthful answers to questions posed as part of the sex offender management program, and does not preclude probationers from objecting to the admission of compelled statements against them in later criminal proceedings. On this narrower understanding of the required waiver, Penal Code section 1203.067, subdivision (b)(3) does no more than what the law clearly permits: It has long been established that \u201ca State may validly insist on answers to even incriminating questions and hence sensibly administer its probation system, as long as it recognizes that the required answers may not be used in a criminal proceeding \u2024\u201d (Minnesota v. Murphy (1984) 465 U.S. 420, 435, fn. 7 (Murphy).)\nThe Attorney General\u2019s argument relies on the canon of constitutional avoidance \u2014 that is, the principle that we will construe statutes to avoid serious constitutional problems if such a reading is fairly possible. (See People v. Gutierrez (2014) 58 Cal.4th 1354, 1373.) Defendant contends that the Attorney General\u2019s narrow reading is not fairly possible, because the statutory requirement that probationers waive \u201cany privilege against self-incrimination\u201d admits of only one interpretation. If that were so, the canon would have no application here. The canon of constitutional avoidance is a tool of statutory interpretation that permits us to select between competing plausible interpretations of statutory text. It does not permit us to \u201c\u2009\u2018\u2009\u201cdo [\u2009] violence to the reasonable meaning of the language used\u201d\u2009\u2019\u2009\u201d (ibid.), nor does it provide \u201ca method of adjudicating constitutional questions by other means\u201d (Clark v. Martinez (2005) 543 U.S. 371, 381 (Martinez)).\nThe primary question before us, then, is whether the language of Penal Code section 1203.067 is susceptible of the reading the Attorney General urges. It is.\nTo be sure, the requirement that probationers waive \u201cany privilege against self-incrimination\u201d is also susceptible to defendant\u2019s broader reading. Both this court and a majority of the members of the United States Supreme Court have said that the core constitutional right protected by the Fifth Amendment\u2019s self-incrimination clause is a privilege against the use of compelled statements in a criminal trial, not against the compulsion of those statements in the first instance. (See Chavez v. Martinez (2003) 538 U.S. 760, 767 (Chavez) (plur. opn. of Thomas, J.) [\u201cStatements compelled by police interrogations of course may not be used against a defendant at trial, [citation], but it is not until their use in a criminal case that a violation of the Self-Incrimination Clause occurs.\u201d]; see also id. at p. 772 [\u201cthe core constitutional right defined by the Self-Incrimination Clause [is] the right not to be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against oneself\u201d (fn. omitted)\u2009]; id. at p. 777 (conc. opn. of Souter, J., joined by Breyer, J.); Maldonado v. Superior Court (2012) 53 Cal.4th 1112, 1128 (Maldonado) [adopting Chavez\u2019s conclusion that \u201ca \u2018core\u2019 Fifth Amendment violation is completed, not merely by official extraction of self-incriminatory answers from one who has not waived the privilege, but only if and when those answers are used in a criminal proceeding against the person who gave them\u201d].) Understood against the backdrop of these decisions, the statutory requirement to waive the self-incrimination privilege is plausibly understood, as defendant argues, to mean waiving the right to object to the use of compelled statements in a criminal trial, not waiving any purported right to remain silent when asked incriminating questions as part of sex offender treatment.\nBut defendant\u2019s interpretation is not the only plausible interpretation of Penal Code section 1203.067, subdivision (b)(3) \u2014 nor is it the most reasonable one. While cases like Chavez and Maldonado have taken the view that the Fifth Amendment right is violated by the prosecution\u2019s use of compelled statements in criminal proceedings, not the compulsion itself, the cases have also recognized a longstanding body of \u201c\u2009\u2018prophylactic rules designed to safeguard the core constitutional right protected by the Self-Incrimination Clause.\u2019\u2009\u201d (Maldonado, supra, 53 Cal.4th at p. 1128, quoting Chavez, supra, 538 U.S. at pp. 770-771 (plur. opn. of Thomas, J.).) These rules permit an individual to assert the Fifth Amendment privilege if \u201c\u2009\u2018\u2009\u201ccompelled to produce evidence which later may be used against him as an accused in a criminal action.\u201d\u2009\u2019\u2009\u201d (Ibid.)\nCommon usage does not always respect this distinction between core constitutional right and prophylactic safeguard. It is certainly not unusual to hear the phrase \u201cprivilege against self-incrimination\u201d to refer to the assertion of the \u201cright to remain silent\u201d in the face of official questioning, as opposed to the assertion of the right to prevent the use of compelled statements in a later criminal proceeding. Perhaps the most well-known example appears in Miranda v. Arizona (1966) 384 U.S. 436: \u201cOnce warnings have been given, the subsequent procedure is clear. If the individual indicates in any manner, at any time prior to or during questioning, that he wishes to remain silent, the interrogation must cease. At this point he has shown that he intends to exercise his Fifth Amendment privilege; any statement taken after the person invokes his privilege cannot be other than the product of compulsion, subtle or otherwise. Without the right to cut off questioning, the setting of in-custody interrogation operates on the individual to overcome free choice in producing a statement after the privilege has been once invoked.\u201d (Id. at pp. 473-474, italics added, fn. omitted.) Given that the United States Supreme Court itself has used the phrase \u201cFifth Amendment privilege\u201d to mean \u201cthe right to remain silent,\u201d it is not too much of a stretch to imagine that the Legislature might have used the phrase \u201cprivilege against self-incrimination\u201d to mean much the same thing.\nDefendant\u2019s counterargument relies heavily on the Legislature\u2019s use of the word \u201cany\u201d to modify the term \u201cprivilege,\u201d contending that it unambiguously demonstrates the Legislature\u2019s desire to prohibit probationers from asserting any version of the \u201cself-incrimination privilege\u201d at any time and in any proceeding. It is, however, at least as likely that the Legislature used the word \u201cany\u201d because nothing about sex offender treatment necessarily implicates the privilege against self-incrimination; it is only if \u201cany\u201d incriminating questions are asked that \u201cany privilege against self-incrimination\u201d (Pen. Code, \u00a7 1203.067, subd. (b)(3)) might be invoked. Moreover, the Fifth Amendment privilege is not the only potentially applicable self-incrimination privilege: A criminal defendant might equally invoke article I, section 15 of the California Constitution (\u201cPersons may not \u2024 be compelled in a criminal cause to be a witness against themselves\u201d), or Evidence Code section 940 (\u201cTo the extent that such privilege exists under the Constitution of the United States or the State of California, a person has a privilege to refuse to disclose any matter that may tend to incriminate him\u201d). The Legislature may have used the word \u201cany\u201d as a shorthand reference to all three of these provisions, rather than, as defendant argues, as a reservation of the state\u2019s prerogative to use probationers\u2019 incriminating statements against them in later criminal proceedings.\nNor does the remainder of Penal Code section 1203.067 suggest that the Legislature intended to require probationers to surrender any privilege against the use of their statements to prosecute them for criminal offenses. The evident focus of the provision is the proper functioning of the sex offender management program as a mechanism for treatment of participating sex offenders. (Pen. Code, \u00a7 1203.067, subd. (a)(3).) The provision makes no mention of the use of information gathered in the course of treatment, except \u201cto enable communication between the sex offender management professional and supervising probation officer\u201d (id., subd. (b)(4)), who are, collectively, responsible for determining how long the probationer must remain in the program. It contains no indication that the Legislature intended to require probationers to provide truthful answers not only for purposes of successful treatment, but also for purposes of facilitating criminal prosecution.\nThe statutory language is, in short, entirely susceptible of the narrow construction the Attorney General urges. That construction is consistent with the evident purpose of the sex offender management program \u2014 that is, to promote successful treatment of the participants. It is also consistent with established law. (See Murphy, supra, 465 U.S. at p. 435, fn. 7.) As between this construction and defendant\u2019s proffered construction, we presume the Legislature \u201cdid not intend the alternative which raises serious constitutional doubts.\u201d (Martinez, supra, 543 U.S. at p. 381.)\nFor all these reasons, in my view, the court is clearly correct to conclude that Penal Code section 1203.067, subdivision (b)(3)\u2019s ambiguous language must be construed not as requiring probationers to waive the right to assert any self-incrimination privilege in criminal proceedings, but merely as barring probationers from attempting to use any such privilege as a basis for refusing to candidly discuss matters pertinent to the sex offender management program. So construed, the condition does not violate defendant\u2019s Fifth Amendment rights.\n1. All further unlabeled statutory references are to the Penal Code.\n2. If defendant had been successful in invalidating the subdivision (b)(3) condition, it might have had paradoxical consequences for him and for other sex offenders who are granted probation. Without the assurance that the containment team would be able to uncover the extent of a probationer\u2019s vulnerabilities and monitor the probationer\u2019s progress, a trial court might well conclude that the sex offender was not a good candidate for probation and must instead be sentenced to prison. (Sen. Com. on Public Safety, Analysis of Assem. Bill No. 1844, supra, at pp. 30-31.)\n3. Defendant purports to assert claims under both the federal and state rights to privacy, but provides no separate analysis of the protection afforded by the state Constitution. We therefore restrict our discussion to the federal claim. (See People v. Turner (1994) 8 Cal.4th 137, 214, fn. 19.)\n4. The sex offender management professional must also provide the offender\u2019s SARATSO score to the probation officer, who in turn must provide the score to the Department of Justice. The score is then made available on the California Sex and Arson Registry website. (\u00a7 290.09, subd. (b)(2).)\nWE CONCUR: CANTIL-SAKAUYE, C. J. WERDEGAR, J. CHIN, J. CORRIGAN, J. KRUGER, J.

        "raw_content": "#FreeTheChildren\nUPDATE: Last week, Donald Trump signed an Executive Order that supposedly ends his own administration\u2019s policy of separating children from their families at the border. The Executive Order includes no plan about how to reunite the children who have already been separated from their families. Without walking back his zero-tolerance policy, the Executive Order is largely unhelpful as it will result in children being detained in detention centers with their parents. The Flores Settlement Agreement makes it illegal to hold children for longer than 20 days, so while the children may not be separated from their families immediately upon entry into the United States, they will still ultimately be separated as many families apply for asylum, which can take months or years. The current administration is trying to get the Flores Settlement Agreement decision changed by the courts so that children can be detained for longer amounts of time because without a change to the settlement agreement, Trump\u2019s Executive Order is mostly unenforceable.\nWords are powerful. As Voltaire and Spider-Man\u2019s Uncle Ben say, \u201cwith great power comes great responsibility.\u201d That\u2019s why we need to have a little chat, family, friends, and strangers.\nAs you may or may not be aware, the current administration has made it policy to separate children from their families when they cross the border, even if those families are seeking asylum from violence and devastating poverty in their home countries. Make no mistake about it that the administration is attempting to deter people from entering this country from our southern border. It isn\u2019t working. May saw the highest number of family units apprehended at the border since 2014, when violence in Central America led to a surge in border crossings.\nThis should be a nonpartisan no brainer. Children don\u2019t belong in tent cities or former Walmart stores or detention centers or institutions. Children belong in families.\nSeparating children from their families is, by the UN definition, torture. Not only is it torture by definition, but it has similar effects on children. According to an article in the Washington Post, \u201cThe science leads to the conclusion that the deprivation of caregiving produces a form of extreme suffering in children. Separating migrant children from parents, then, increases the likelihood that their experience in immigration detention will cause lasting mental and possibly physical health problems.\u201d Scientific studies have shown again and again and again that separating children from their caregivers has detrimental effects.\nRegardless of where you stand on immigration policy and asylum seekers, surely your heart goes out to these children. This is not the way to deter immigration. It\u2019s cruel and it isn\u2019t working.\nYou may be thinking to yourself now, \u201cOk Catherine, that\u2019s fine, but what can I do about it?\u201d Here are three simple things you can do:\nYou can contact your Senators and Congressional Representatives.\nYou can urge your church to take a public stance on this issue.\nYou can donate to the Florence Project to provide legal support for the children separated from their families.\nI\u2019ll even help you write the letter to your representatives:\nFor Your Congressman or Congresswoman:\nMy name is _________________________ and I am a constituent from zip code _______________. It has recently come to my attention that the current administration has made it policy to separate children from their families at the border. I\u2019m urging Congressman / Congresswoman _______________ to denounce this family separation policy and use all of Congress\u2019 authority to stop it. I am incredibly troubled by the forced separation policy for a variety of reasons, not least of which being that it is torture by definition. The separation of children from their families has been scientifically proven to have adverse effects on mental health. Please use all of your power to stop this policy.\nFor Your Senators:\nMy name is _________________________ and I am a constituent from zip code _______________.

        "raw_content": "News\t February 2, 2012 April 8, 2014\nTaking Inventory At The Break\nOh hi. Welcome back to the blog.\nSo as the All-Star break comes to a close, it\u2019s usually the time that pontificators (I\u2019ll stop short of calling us \u201cwriters\u201d) look back on the season so far and dish out grades to the players. We\u2019ve done it in previous years. Makes for good discussion.\nGrades. That was the plan for this week. I sent out some emails to Jason and Sutty asking them for their opinions. They sent their thoughts back. It was going to be a great big post.\nAnd then I sat down to write it, and it just made me feel depressed.\nThe entire team deserves a big fat \u201cD\u201d grade for the last month.\nWhat a 180 degree turn this season took. I really can\u2019t remember a more dreadful month than the January that we just finished. 13 games. 3 wins. 2 of them against Lake Erie, 1 against Texas. 0-8 against the Midwest Division. It started off with a whimper, losing 1-0 to the Rivermen on New Years Day against a goalie playing his third game in three days. And it ended with a sad effort against the Rockford IceHogs, who guess what, sit just a point behind the Admirals in the standings now.\nIt\u2019s depressing because we\u2019re not used to this.\nAnd sure, as fans, we\u2019ve been spoiled. We\u2019ve been spoiled to have a team that hasn\u2019t missed the playoffs since the 01-02 season. Sitting in 10th place in the conference (despite still having a few games in hand) is scary new territory.\nSo rather than a big grades post\u2026.I\u2019ll just summarize the general thoughts in one paragraph.\nLatta and Mueller had A\u2019s. Blum and Engren had D\u2019s. Everyone else was somewhere in the B and C range. Sutty had the best line, equating Blum to the guy that tested into an advanced science class, then failed it, and is now failing the 101 level class.\nSince looking back is unpleasant at the moment, let\u2019s look ahead instead. Here\u2019s what I\u2019d like to see starting Friday against the Rivermen:\n\u2013 I want to see a team that re-charged their batteries at home over the break. A little Tim Hortons coffee here\u2026.a little home cooked meal there\u2026.\n\u2013 I want to see guys like Blum and Geoffrion make more of an impact on the ice than on their twitter pages. Their presence was supposed to make this a better team. They haven\u2019t.\n\u2013 I want to see rookies come of age.\n\u2013 And I want to see the same energy and enthusiasm and swagger that the team had in October. And November. And December.\nThere are 34 more games in the regular season for the Admirals. Lots of time left. It\u2019s a long season and every team goes through rough stretches. Let\u2019s hope the stormy weather is officially behind us now, and that we get a good effort against Peoria out of the gate here.\nWest All-Stars Steal a Win from the East 8-7 in a Shootout; Midwest Division Stars Shine\nAdmirals Lose Fifth In A Row\n6 thoughts on \u201cTaking Inventory At The Break\u201d\nWell stated Ryan!\nSomeone made an interesting comment several posts back that I didn\u2019t see mentioned or discussed any further\u2026 are we at a point where we can put the blame on the coach? We basically have the same team as we did to start the season. Muller had the team energized. Herbers took over and it started going downhill\u2026 :(\nI wouldn\u2019t say the team went totally downhill after the coaching change, there we encouraging results for awhile. After being embarrased in Muller\u2019s last two games in Charlotte the team went 10-3 before the new year and outscored opponents 42-26\nIt has nothing to do with Ian Herbers , He is a excellent coach. Put the puck in the net ????.. The team going in a scoring slump at the same time is the problem. Also this team has to become more physical the rest of the way (other then Scott Ford) they are too easy to play against lately.\nAs Ryan stated the team went 3-10 after the new year and was outscored 26-35. Bourque was called up on 12/28, Geoffrion was re-assigned on 12/28 and Blum on 1/6. Draw your own conclusions.\nONThere says:\nBourque had 2 goals in 25 games. But you are right, Geoffrion has brought nothing to the table.\nAnd I don\u2019t know if Herbers is an excellent coach. I wouldn\u2019t blame all the problems on him but I wouldn\u2019t say he\u2019s excellent. Not enough goal scoring, weak defense and no back-up goalie.",

        "raw_content": "Home > Find Your Major > Sociology\nSociology is a way of understanding the social world around us. Sociologists study the behavior of people as members of groups rather than as individuals, and they also study how individuals are shaped by their social environments. As such, they examine the processes through which we as people express our social being: cooperation, exchange, conflict, domination, morality, dependency, violence, crime, social control, and symbolism. Sociology also examines the phenomena to which these processes give rise: social networks, small groups, families, subcultures, professional affiliations, social classes, gender relations, structures of race and ethnicity, bureaucracies, social movements, the state, religion, and popular and \u201chigh\u201d culture. Students concerned with solving social problems and engaging in community service, or generally working in organizational contexts, find that the sociology curriculum is especially relevant to their interests.\nThe Sociology Skill Set\nA degree in sociology provides several skills that can be the basis for a successful career in many fields:\nSociology majors are trained to weigh controversies and develop complex analyses of social and organizational problems, a skill set that is important in many careers.\nSociology majors understand how to review the social science literature on a problem. The capacity to digest, analyze, and synthesize a diverse set of sources is valuable in a wide range of careers.\nSociology majors are trained to translate research into policy analysis and develop policy based on research.\nSociology majors are trained in hypothesis generation and testing, data analysis, and both qualitative and quantitative methods.\nSociology majors gain a broad understanding of our changing world and emerge well-equipped to adapt to new careers and to help organizations adapt to changing economic, political, and social environments.\nStudents are able to choose from over 40 sociology courses taught by faculty who are highly skilled in their subject areas as well as in the craft of teaching. Students may pursue a major and minor in Sociology with options for a standard and honors track. The Sociology Department also offers a major in Environmental Sociology with options for a standard and honors track.\nSummary of the Major\nThe sociology major consists of three main types of courses:\nFoundation courses: an introductory sociology course, a research methods course, and an advanced theory course.\nConcentration areas: one course from three of the department\u2019s four specialization areas:\n1. Culture, Institutions, and Socialization\n2. Health, Environment, Population, and Migration\n3. Politics, Law, and Conflict\n4. Race, Ethnicity, and Gender\nElectives: five additional advanced sociology courses. Students are encouraged to develop a cluster of related courses in a concentration area. More details are available on the department\u2019s web site.\nHonors Program and Society\nThe Honors Research Track offers superior majors in Sociology the opportunity to pursue intensive work through an independent research project. Students interested in pursuing the Honors Research Track in Sociology should view the catalog for requirements, and you will be contacted in your junior year to see if you are interested. More information is also available on the department\u2019s website.\nSociology majors and minors with a GPA of at least 3.3 are eligible for membership in the Sociology Honors Society, Alpha Kappa Delta (AK\u0394). Students do not have to be in the honors program to join the Honors Society.\nUndergraduate research options are available as research assistants on faculty research projects, participation in the senior honors thesis, and independent study courses with faculty. There are some large, interdisciplinary research grants on the campus that offer some students research opportunities. Some research is paid, and other research is available for course credit.\nSociology offers an internship program of 6 to 9 credit hours that allows students an opportunity to gain real world experience and to integrate the experience with a research project. Sociology students frequently spend a semester in the study abroad program, and there are options in many countries.\nSociology students are encouraged to work with Alternative Spring Break and to participate in Study Abroad programs, especially VISAGE (Vanderbilt Initiative for Scholarship and Global Education)\nSociology provides majors and minors with an excellent foundation for a multitude of career paths, including many of those in government, education, law, business, the criminal justice system, health fields (both medicine and public health), and community and social services. Based on our surveys of graduating seniors, approximately half of the students pursue graduate education and half go directly into jobs. Some take one year off before going on to graduate study. Students receive job offers from a wide range of organizations, including in the business, education, government, and nonprofit sectors. When the Sociology major is combined with the Business minor, students are well-positioned for jobs that require knowledge of society and organizations, such as marketing and human resources.\nThe Sociology Department\u2019s web site provides more information on career pathways and on alumni careers. There are four main areas of career pathways based on the exit surveys of recent classes: teaching and research, the nonprofit sector, law and policy, and the private sector.\nThe strong methods sequence in the honors program is excellent preparation for graduate school and careers as educators and researchers in addition to its value in other careers. Each year we have several students who pursue a PhD program directly or opt to go into a teaching corps position that may later lead to an education career.\nThe Sociology Department has a strong group of courses in the department for students with a pre-med or pre-health career path. These options can be combined with a major or minor in Medicine, Health, and Society. The department also has a major in environmental sociology.\nAnother strength of the department is the study of politics, law, and institutions. The sociology degree provides a good background for law school, and four students in the recent graduating class attended law school. Students in this group also go on to jobs in the nonprofit sector, think tanks in Washington, journalism, and other positions in the nonprofit and government sectors.\nCourses on institutions and criminology also prepare some students for careers in the social services and criminal justice systems. The cluster of courses on race, gender, and sexuality can also be valuable for students interested in this career area.\nThe Sociology Department has approximately two dozen faculty actively involved in teaching and research in the department, and there is another dozen affiliated faculty in other departments. The professors are actively involved in various grants and research projects, and they have won many prizes for their research. Details are available at the departmental website.",

        "raw_content": "What You Need to Know Before Starting Your Adoption Journey\nFor those who may be asking this same question, here are the basics.\nWhen we began our adoption journey in 2010, I knew nothing. All I knew was that we wanted to adopt. I didn\u2019t have much of an adoption support community, and so I basically figured things out on my own through internet searches and reaching out to people who had adopted before\u2013some of whom were total strangers (who have since become friends). During that time, I promised myself that I would always be available to help other people who had questions as they began their adoption search.\nOver the course of the past six months, I have had the opportunity to sit down with many women who are beginning their adoption journey and aren\u2019t sure where to start. Their stories are always inspiring. Each has come with differing backgrounds and reasons for wanting to adopt, but they all have the same question: How do I get started? For those who may be asking this same question, here are the basics.\nWhat type of adoption feels right to you? This is a personal question and the answer is different for everyone. There are five main types of adoption.\nFoster to Adopt: In every state, there are hundreds of children in the foster care system who are available for adoption. If you are open to the possibility of an older child or sibling group, this may be a good fit for you. You would need to become state foster care certified, which can take a few months. There are challenges for sure, but for many people, this type of adoption has been an amazing blessing in their lives.\nDomestic Agency Adoption: This is the type of adoption that most people think of when they hear the word adoption. An agency adoption is where you sign on with a business, referred to as an adoption agency, that matches expectant parents considering adoption with hopeful adoptive parents. An agency adoption is typically the most expensive type of adoption, but the process is usually the fastest. Make sure to do your research before signing on with an agency. Make sure you are working with an agency who is upfront and ethical in their practices, and who treats expectant parents well, offering post-placement support and counseling.\nAdoption Facilitator: An adoption facilitator is basically a professional adoption \u201cmatch maker.\u201d They aren\u2019t an agency in that they don\u2019t handle the legal aspects of the adoption process, they just help people connect. An agency or attorney is still required to proceed with the adoption. Adoption facilitating is not legal in many states, so make sure you know your laws before choosing to hire a facilitator.\nInternational Adoption: There is no doubt you have seen news footage of orphanages all over the world where children in need of love and homes reside. Every year, couples from differing countries travel to these orphanages to adopt these children. International adoption has become increasing difficult over the past few years, but it is still an option. Once again, you must do your research and work with a reputable, ethical agency that is approved for international adoption and knows the rules and laws surrounding it. This type of adoption can take a very long time, costs about as much as a domestic agency adoption, and can comes with many challenges. It is important to take the time to educate yourself on the process of bringing a child from another country and culture into your home before committing to go this route.\nPrivate Adoption: A private adoption is where a hopeful adoptive couple is chosen by an expectant mother without the help of an agency. This is usually done through word of mouth or social media advertising. When a match is made this way an attorney (or two depending on the circumstances) is hired and handles all the legalities of the adoption. This type of adoption is becoming more common as the online world is making it easier to find and connect with people all over the country.\nI know which type of adoption I want to pursue, so what do I do next?\nStart working on your Home Study. No matter what way you go, you must have a current home study written by a licensed home study provider. The type of adoption you are pursuing will determine they specifics of your home study. If you have chosen foster care, the state will send someone to complete your foster care home study. International adoption home studies have different requirements than domestic home studies, and in some cases, these different types of home studies are not interchangeable. Meaning that one type of home study will not work for another type of adoption. Make sure you get the right type of home study for the type of adoption you have chosen. If you are working with an agency, they often have professionals who will do your home study. If you are choosing to find a private adoption situation, there are many social workers who work independently and can provide you with what you need. Regardless, be prepared to answer pages of paperwork, be interviewed by the home study provider, hand over tax returns and other financial information, obtain a health history and medical clearance from your doctor, and have your home inspected for safety.\nDecide who you want to work with. Choose your agency for domestic or international adoption; research attorneys and other adoption professionals. Ask who other people have used and what their experience was like. Would they use them again? What would they do differently? Who would they recommend?\nHow am I going to pay for this?\nSavings. Adoption is not cheap. If you can, start saving now.\nRefinancing. Cars and homes can be refinanced in order to cash out on the equity there. This is a way to obtain lower interest rates on loans.\nRetirement funds. If you have a retirement fund, you may have the option of borrowing money from that. Most require that you repay what you take out, but it is an option that can provide you with the money needed.\nLoans. Check with family first to see if there are any options to borrow money from a trusted source. If not, there are a few low interest adoption loans available. Banks will usually only give you a consumer loan, which can have high interest rates.\nFundraising. Yard sales, bake sales, Etsy shops, T-shirt sales, and other creative endeavors can help pad your adoption account.\nGrants. There are several different adoption grants available. They can be difficult to obtain, but it\u2019s not impossible. Apply to as many as you qualify for. Lists of grants can be found here.\nFAITH. I know, it sounds funny, but start asking those who have adopted and you will begin to hear some amazing stories of how funds became available once the adoption process started. Just have faith that it will happen for you.\nThose are the very basics. Other things to educate yourself on would be Open vs Closed Adoption, Special Needs Adoption, Transracial Adoption, and Exposure to Substance Abuse. Adoption isn\u2019t an easy process. For adoptive parents everywhere the phrase \u201cjust adopt\u201d will usually be met with some serious eye rolling because they know that there is no \u201cjust\u201d about it. But for those who feel led to adoption, it will be worth it in the end. Take heart and get ready for the most emotionally challenging, joyful, heartbreaking, worst/best experience of your life.",

Since the new Harry Potter movie just came out, there were also people wearing house scarves and such. Plus, one girl on the bus was wearing a scarf as a skirt over a pair of jeans for no reason I could determine, and one on campus was wearing a very nice pair of tight velvet leggings with knee boots, which was quite a nice look.

But axing the provision, which would have eliminated state and local deductions for some 40 million taxpayers, threatens to torpedo the GOP\u2019s whole framework since it provided the plan\u2019s only revenue stream. The New York Times writes:\nThe state and local tax deduction is estimated to cost $1.3 trillion over the next decade and its repeal is central to paying for a sweeping tax rewrite unveiled last week by Republican lawmakers and administration officials. But elimination of the provision has emerged as a flash point in the nascent debate over the plan, with Republicans in high-tax states worried about backlash from residents who could see their tax bills rise. [\u2026]\nRepresentative Chris Collins, Republican of New York, said in an interview on Tuesday that party leaders had assured him \u201cthere\u2019s not going to be full repeal\u201d of the state and local tax deduction. Mr. Collins, who represents a district in upstate New York, is among the more than 30 Republicans whose residents make heavy use of the deduction and would be more likely to see their tax bills rise if the provision is be eliminated. [\u2026]\nHe said both Mr. Brady and Mr. McCarthy acknowledged full repeal would be a \u201cnon-starter\u201d with a large block of Republicans in the conference, and that \u201cit\u2019s safe to say, we\u2019re no longer going to be talking about a full repeal.\u201d\nThis is beyond moronic. The Republicans released a basic framework for tax reform that was almost entirely premised on a provision GOP leadership now calls a \u201cnon-starter.\u201d These guys couldn\u2019t shepherd their way down from a gently sloping hill, as one Daily Kos reader aptly noted.\nBut they just couldn\u2019t resist finding a way to benefit rich people even if it meant squeezing the middle class in the process. When the Tax Policy Center released an analysis last week showing nearly 30 percent of middle-class Americans would see their taxes increase, even Rand Paul took a pot shot at the GOP\u2019s opening bid.",

The struggle is definitely real. Its hard. There are so many methods out there. I am going to be trying a few of them out and letting you guys know how they work. The SOAP method is one I found on Pintrest a few years ago and I really like it. Its so simple, it can easily be done in 15 minutes. Its a great way to get some time in with God and it helps you dig deeper into the word. If you want to longer than 10-15 minutes you could do longer passages but when I first started out, I did one verse everyday. I wrote them down all in the same place, so when I when I needed that encouragement later it was handy.\nS: I do believe, help me overcome my belief! Mark 9:24\nO: I do believe; I\u2019m just scared it wont happen. I do believe, I just don\u2019t want to be disappointed.\nA: This verse is instruction. God is telling me to ask Jesus to help me with my unbelief. God made me a promise that I am waiting to be fulfilled and I believe but its hard. Jesus went through the same thing I am going through which is why he wants me to ask him for help.\nP: Jesus please help me with my unbelief. I am trying so hard but I have wanted this baby for so long that I don\u2019t think I can take another disappointment. Please help me pray without ceasing. You say ask and we shall receive. Please intercede on my behalf. I know you have been were I have and you didn\u2019t let your circumstances change how you feel about your father. You were able to keep your faith. Please tell me what to do to be all more like you. I\u2019m ready and willing to do whatever it takes. Thank you for being an intercessory for me.

        "raw_content": "World leaders reaffirm commitment to fighting climate change\nFILE \u2013 In this Jan. 20, 2015 file photo, a plume of steam billows from the coal-fired Merrimack Station in Bow, N.H. President Donald Trump may abandon U.S. pledges to reduce carbon emissions, but global economic realities ensure he is unlikely to reverse the accelerating push to adopt cleaner forms of energy. (AP Photo/Jim Cole, File)\nWorld leaders pledged Thursday to keep up the fight against global warming and urged Donald Trump to be part of that effort, hours before the U.S. president was due to announce whether he would pull out of the Paris climate accord.\nTrump said on Twitter late Wednesday he will announce his decision on whether to pull the United States out of the Paris climate accord during a Rose Garden event Thursday afternoon (3 p.m. Easterm; 1900 GMT).\nThe Paris accord was negotiated by President Barack Obama in 2015. A White House official told The Associated Press on Wednesday that Trump is expected to withdraw from the deal, though aides cautioned he had not yet made a final decision.\nTrump, a Republican who has claimed global warming is a hoax, has moved quickly since taking office to delay or block restrictions on burning of fossil fuels enacted by his predecessor that he claims are holding back economic growth. The president has pledged to reverse decades of decline in coal mining, which now accounts for fewer than 75,000 U.S. jobs.\nThe United States is the world\u2019s second largest emitter of carbon dioxide, a gas that stays in the air for 100 years and about one-fifth of what\u2019s accumulated in the atmosphere over the last century came from the United States, more than any other country.\nReports of the impending move by the American president triggered statements of support for the climate accord from scores of world leaders. At a meeting of the G7 in Sicily last week, only Trump refused to reaffirm their nations\u2019 continuing support for the Paris deal, which was signed by nearly 200 countries.\nChinese Premier Li Keqiang, speaking to reporters during a visit to Berlin, said fighting global warming was a \u201cglobal consensus\u201d and an \u201cinternational responsibility.\u201d\n\u201cChina will stand by its responsibilities on climate change,\u201d Li told reporters in Berlin, according to a German translation, adding it was standing by its international responsibilities and also setting national targets.\nAt a Chinese Foreign Ministry Press Conference, Spokesperson Hua Chunying said that China will take concrete measures domestically to step up actions to counter climate change and will faithfully fulfill the Paris Agreement, which is also in line with China\u2019s own sustainable development.\n\u201cClimate change is a global challenge, and no country can stay out,\u201d Hua said.\nShe added that outcome of the Paris Agreement was difficult to get to, but that it unified the broadest consensus of the international community and defining the direction and objectives of further efforts for global cooperation in addressing climate change processes.\n\u201cChina will continue to carry out innovative, coordinated, green, open, and shared development, regardless of how other countries\u2019 positions are changing,\u201d the Spokesperson added.\nThe Chinese government canceled construction of more than 100 new coal-fired power plants earlier this year, announcing plans to invest at least $360 billion in green-energy projects by 2020. It is a building boom expected to create an estimated 13 million jobs.\nThough it remains the largest global carbon emitter, China also leads the world in total installed solar and wind capacity. China generates about 20 percent of its electricity from renewable sources, compared to about 13 percent in the U.S.\nGerman Chancellor Angela Merkel, who has in the past even been dubbed the \u201cclimate chancellor\u201d for her efforts to fight global warming, welcomed Li\u2019s remarks at their joint press conference.\nFILE \u2013 In this Oct. 4, 2016 file photo wind turbines spin near Leipzig, central Germany, Tuesday, Oct. 4, 2016. World leaders affirmed their commitment Thursday, June 1, 2017 to combating climate change ahead of U.S. President Donald Trump\u2019s announcement on whether he would pull out of the Paris climate accord. Trump is expected to announce his decision on Thursday afternoon. (AP Photo/Matthias Schrader,file)\nOn April 30, Germany established a new national record for renewable energy use with 85 percent of all electricity produced in the county coming from renewable sources. That same month, Scotland was able to produce an electricity surplus from its wind turbines, producing 136 percent of the energy needed for its 3.3 million households.\nOther European leaders issued more explicit appeals to the U.S. government not to abandon international measures against climate change. \u201cPlease don\u2019t change the (political) climate for the worse,\u201d European Council President Donald Tusk tweeted.\nBritish Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said Britain would continue to press the U.S. to reduce dangerous emissions even if Trump pulls out.\nJohnson told Sky News that Britain still wants the U.S. to take the lead in fighting climate change and called on individual U.S. states to keep making progress on that front.\n\u201cWe will continue to lobby the Americans and the White House to show the leadership they have shown in the past on reducing CO2,\u201d he said.\nAbandoning the pact would isolate the U.S. from a raft of international allies who spent years negotiating the 2015 agreement to fight global warming and pollution by reducing carbon emissions.\nWhile traveling abroad last week, Trump was repeatedly pressed to stay in the deal by European leaders and Pope Francis. Withdrawing would leave the United States as one of just three countries outside the agreement. The other two are Syria and Nicaragua.\nRussia joined the chorus speaking out in favor of the climate accord. Speaking to reporters on Thursday, a spokesman for President Vladimir Putin said Russia \u201cthinks highly\u201d of the accords and sees no alternative to it. Spokesman Dmitry Peskov added that its implementation will not be as effective \u201cwithout the key signatories.\u201d\nIndia\u2019s Prime Minister Narendra Modi, left, and Russian President Vladimir Putin, right, enter a hall for their talks at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum in St. Petersburg, Russia, Thursday, June 1, 2017. Modi\u2019s visit to Russia comes amid he and other world leaders expressed commitment to fighting climate change after U.S. President Donald Trump indicated that the U.S. might pull out of the Paris climate accords. (Sergei Savostyanov/TASS News Agency Pool Photo via AP)\nDuring a trip to Europe this week, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed India\u2019s commitment to fighting climate change and said it would be a \u201ccrime\u201d to spoil the environment for future generations.\nMartin Schulz, a former European Parliament president who is hoping to unseat Merkel in Germany\u2019s upcoming general election, said he hoped Trump would think better of withdrawing from the accord. If the U.S. does leave, he said, the Europe Union should seek ways to balance out the economic advantage that U.S. companies might have from the absence of climate regulations.\n\u201cThose who want to export their goods and services to our market also have to accept our standards,\u201d he said.\nScientists say Earth is likely to reach more dangerous levels of warming sooner if the U.S. retreats from its pledge because America contributes so much to rising temperatures. Calculations suggest withdrawal could release up to 3 billion additional tons of carbon dioxide a year \u2014 enough to melt ice sheets faster, raise seas higher and trigger more extreme weather.\nStory by the Associated Press with information from Reuters and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China.\nU.S. Commerce chief says hopes to finish NAFTA talks by early January \u00bb",

You expected me to be someone who bops down the motorway listening to contemporary Christian music, eh? You shouldn\u2019t be surprised, and you should hit the mental delete button on that image. Contemporary Christian music is awful. Terribly awful. I mean, so awful that if I ever get stuck in a situation where I am required to listen to it, to cloak my innermost disdain, it takes everything within me not to claw at my troubled ears as though they were filling with tiny haloed termites attempting to eat the contents of my skull. It hurts to listen to the stuff. Even though it labors tirelessly to be just like what you are hearing on the mainstream airwaves, it tends to be a few paces behind, and therefore classified as \u201clame.\u201d\nBut in my opinion, even if in its wannabe manifestation it managed to meet the same musical delta, it would continue to crash and burn in the lyrics department, and for two reasons.\nThe first is that there are only so many times someone can listen to the same syrupy refrain in any song, and for some reason, contemporary Christian artists feel as though they have to write religious mantras rather than prosaic libretti designed to communicate. I mean, if I have to hear the words \u201cpraise you\u201d nineteen more times in the first chorus, then you can count on me turning to a different station. I don\u2019t even know how I ended up here in the first place, anyway. You obviously have no talent and are simply counting on equally shallow Christians not to recognize this particular flaw because you are safely hiding behind a repetitive time-consumer that none of them would feel comfortable criticizing. That\u2019s not me. Your song is dreadful. And that leads me to the second reason, which also deals with substance.\nHow about writing a song that spends more time talking about what God has done for man rather than what man is doing for God? That is the heart of the church\u2019s message, yes? I mean, if you say \u201cI just wanna praise you\u201d one more time, I think God Himself might puke on you. By the way, do you know the kind of songs that never do this? Hymns. Have you noticed that the church still sings these things? Yeah, I know you contemporary Christian music flakes are trying to get rid of them, but there\u2019s a multitude of reasons why that will never happen, one of which is that they have staying power. You, however, will be chasing after various musical appetites for the rest of your shallow life. Just like Stryper. You probably don\u2019t even know who those guys are, do you?\nSo anyway, I like AC/DC. They\u2019re not singing the purest things, but neither are you, and the important difference is that what you are singing is being sold as \u201cGodly,\u201d but you are deliberately targeting souls with an incorrect perception of God and His relationship to man. In my opinion, that\u2019s much, much worse. In fact, I think you are the reason no one respects the Christian church anymore. You guys make us look like a bunch of folks that will roll over to preference when challenged. You know who never rolled over in the face of challenge? The guys who wrote those hymns we\u2019re still singing. And while I\u2019m thinking about it, you should know that even Saint Paul pointed out in 1 Corinthians 11:17 that when some Christians get together with good intentions to do stuff, God stuff, their efforts sometimes \u201cdo more harm than good.\u201d Paul prefaces this with \u201cI have no praise for you.\u201d If you ever want me to listen to your prattling, when singing about the efforts of man, take aim through your lyrical reticule directly at the darkened heart of man and let Paul write your choruses:\n\u201cI have no praise for you. No praise for you. No praise for you. No praaaiiissse for youuu!\u201d\nAnd maybe hire Angus Young to play lead guitar. That would probably help, too.\nAll of this relates to the Glenmorangie 10 Years Old being reviewed in that this particular whisky seems more like a hymn than a contemporary song. It seems to have staying power.\nI received this whisky from a friend who also received it as a gift many years ago. He doesn\u2019t drink Scotch, and rather than let it sit in the back of the cabinet any longer, he so kindly passed it along to me. Just inside the canister was a Christmas card which recorded the holiday gifting date as \u201cDecember 1981.\u201d I popped it open as soon as I got it home.\nThe nose was somewhat harsh at first, but after a short swirl and a moment to breathe, the signature Glenmorangie sweetness twirled and whirled up and out of the glass. Very nice.\nThe palate, like the nose, was somewhat harsh at first, but again, after a few moments, the citrus notes emerged, tapping my tongue with a little bit of honey as it headed toward the finish.\nThere was a lengthy warmth in the conclusion. I definitely tasted the alcohol, which dampened the mood a little. But in the end, the citrus and honey were there calling out, \u201cHey, over here! Look over here!\u201d The second time around, I added a little bit of water and everything evened out.\nI must tip my hat to the Glenmorangie concocters of days past. I\u2019m glad that I got the chance to meet them through this edgy little dram. In fact\u2026\n\u201cI just wanna praise you\u2026 praise you\u2026 praaiise yoouu!\u201d",

Joe\u201d (the \u201cG.I.\u201d, by the way, stands for \u201cGovernment Issued\u201d). Although the first G.I. Joes were 12-inch models introduced by Hasbro in 1964, it was the 3.75-inch models they introduced in 1982 that became one of the most recognizable action figures in the world.\nCarson Mataxis (shown at right) is the creator of 3DJoes.com, the first online G.I. Joe museum with fully interactive 360-degree spins of his entire collection, all created with Arqspin.\nMr. Mataxis began buying and collecting G.I. Joes at a young age in 1985. He recently recounted that, \u201cTo a six year old kid in the early 80s, G.I. Joe was the center of the universe. Before long, I had four boxes full of figures, a box full of filecards and a long box full of Marvel\u2019s G.I. Joe comics.\u201d\nLike most things from our childhood, Carson\u2019s collection of G.I. Joes eventually wound up in storage, displaced by school, career, and time. He rediscovered his collection in 2007 and realized that these small action figures not only provided a connection to his past, but they also formed a rare and potentially valuable collection. \u201cI dug my old Joes out and dusted them off. There was a short \u2018want list\u2019 of Joes I was missing, written in the chicken scratch of an 8 year old. I decided to find every loose figure on that list.\u201d\nCarson Mataxis in the act of capturing a spin of one of his G.I. Joes.\nAs his collection grew more serious, Mr. Mataxis began looking for ways to share it with others. He believes his collection \u201cis one of the best vintage 1980s Joe collections out there and I thought it would be a shame for no one else to enjoy it. Shortly after the Arqspin stage arrived in the mail, a light bulb went off! I would build my own online museum filled with wonderful spins to share my collection with the world.\u201d And thus, 3DJoes was born. \u201cIn the last two months I have built over 150 pages with over 200 spins. The response has been tremendous! Blogs and fan sites from around the world trumpeted the arrival of 3DJoes. They are so excited to see these classic figures in an entirely new way. Spinning the Joes online is the next best thing to holding them in their hands.\u201d\nTo see spinning G.I. Joes for yourself visit 3DJoes.com.\n==<>==",

        "raw_content": "Narcissists all follow the same patterns \u2014 here are some of the most common phrases they use\nNarcissists all act in similar ways.\nThey tend to follow the same pattern in relationships - idealize, devalue, discard.\nThey also have a certain way of talking.\nHere are some of the things narcissists are likely to say in relationships, and in what stages to expect them.\nIt's possible to meet someone and feel like you've known them your whole life. Often, this just means you're comfortable in each other's company.\nSometimes, though, it can be a sign of something more sinister - particularly if someone you're dating is professing their undying love for you when you've only known them for five minutes.\nNarcissists sometimes engage in \"love bombing\" - pretending to be everything you've ever wanted, only to turn it back on you further down the line. It's a manipulative tactic to reel in their targets. First, they shower them with affection and gifts. Then, they start gaslighting and abusing their victim, causing them to wonder what's real. It's all part of the plan to gain total control.\nAlthough there's no global summit for all dark triad people to get together and discuss their tactics, they do seem to operate in a similar way.\n\"It's like they read from the same manual, even though nobody gives them that manual,\" psychologist Perpetua Neo, who works with victims of narcissistic abuse, said. \"They're almost programmed in the same way.\"\nThere are certain phrases narcissists use, and ways they express things, that are eerily familiar to anyone who has ever dealt with one.\nHere are some of the most common things they might say, and in what stages of a relationship to expect them.\n1. The idealization stage\nRelationships with narcissists move very quickly. Neo said some people simply do mesh really well, because they have similar interests and complement each other's differences.\n\"But anybody who tries to do it too quickly early on is basically accelerating intimacy, and that is bad news,\" she said. \"Anybody who has to do that suggests they are doing something a bit creepy.\"\nIn the first few weeks narcissists will say things like:\n\"You're my soul mate.\"\n\"I've never met anyone like you before.\"\n\"You understand me so much better than anyone else.\"\n\"It's fate that we met.\"\n\"I've never felt this way about anyone before.\"\n\"Am I your only friend? You're my only friend.\"\n\"We don't need anyone else.\"\n\"You're so kind, creative, smart, beautiful, and perfect.\"\n\"We'll be together forever.\"\nNarcissist love bomb\n2. The devaluation stage\nOnce a narcissist has hooked their victim, they start showing their true self. This is where the insults and put-downs start slipping into what they say. They suddenly criticise things about their partner that they once seemed to love - everything they say is part of their scheme to shatter their partner's confidence.\nBut all the nastiness is intertwined with some affection, because the narcissist knows they have to keep up the illusion that the relationship is worth saving. By pretending they can still be loving, the narcissist makes their victim believe the insults are their own fault.\nDuring this phrase narcissists may utter some of these things:\n\"You're too sensitive.\"\n\"No wonder nobody else likes you.\"\n\"My friends hate you, but I always defend you and have your back.\"\n\"You're so insecure.\"\n\"Aren't I more important to you than your friends?\"\n\"Your tears won't work on me. Why are you crying?\"\n\"You're being so manipulative.\"\nThey will also probably start explaining away their behaviour if they are ever challenged on it, saying things like:\n\"I'm like this because my parents were so mean to me.\"\n\"My ex cheated on me.\"\n\"Love is just hard. We have to work on it.\"\n\"Everyone abandons me, so you have to help me.\"\n\"I'm acting this way because I'm scared to lose you.\"\n\"I don't do it on purpose; I have a problem.\"\n\"Don't you remember how good things were at the start?\"\n\"You need to stop being so selfish/careless/busy with other people.\"\n\"You can't blame me, you know I have a problem.\"\nThey will also try to devalue everything their victim loves, such as their interest and hobbies - even their family. They will insult everything they can, saying things such as:\n\"I don't like your friends - they're not good enough for you.\"\n\"You like that? It's terrible.\"\n\"I can't believe you enjoy doing this.\"\n\"Your family doesn't like me. You probably shouldn't see them as much.\"\n\"If you leave and see your friends, I'll be angry.\"\nCouple narcissists\nNarcissists also play to their advantages, especially if they are older than their victim or they did them a big favour, like bringing them over from a foreign country. Whatever they can play on for superiority they will leverage and use to subvert the other party.\nThey will assert their authority by saying:\n\"I've been through more relationships, so this is why I'm saying this.\"\n\"You can't wear that, because I said so.\"\n\"That makes you look stupid.\"\n\"Your dress is too short.\"\n\"You know I'm smarter. You know I know more about this than you.\"\n\"I'm the local here, I know better.\"\nIf the victim dares to tell anyone about how they are being treated, the narcissist makes sure they are punished by making their life even more miserable. They say things like:\n\"Since somebody has found out, I'm going to get worse.\"\n\"Because you broke my trust, you have to earn my trust back.\"\n3. The discard phase\nWhen a narcissist has completely worn their victim down, they may tire of them. It might be because they have bled them dry of funds, or they have simply found someone new to abuse. Either way, at this stage their insults will reach the worst level, and they will find more ways to tear their partner down, ensuring they leave the relationship as the \"winner.\"\nThey will hurl poison at their victim, such as:\n\"Everybody hates you.\"\n\"You're a bad person.\"\n\"Nobody else will ever love you.\"\n\"I'm the best you'll ever have.\"\n\"Have fun being alone for the rest of your life.\"\n\"You did this to yourself.\"\nSad man and woman\nIt will only get worse\nThe only way to escape a narcissist's insults and threats is to get away from them, and run fast and far, Neo said.

        "raw_content": "The huge sand and gravel quarry proposed on rural land near Clifton Hampden would destroy the ancient archaeological features of the site that include an Early Bronze Age Bronze Age barrow cemetery (see below).\nIn recognition of this, an application was made last year to English Heritage for the barrow cemetery to be classified as a Scheduled Monument. The cemetery was under consideration 30 years ago but the process was not completed. English Heritage considered the application for listing carefully and made a positive recommendation to the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport on the site\u2019s suitability for scheduling.\nFull details of the decision can be found here on the English Heritage website. To summarise the publically available information, the barrow cemetery, which can be seen as ring ditches visible as crop marks at Fullamoor Plantation, is now scheduled under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act. The principal reasons for designation are:\nIt has been defined as a site of NATIONAL importance and has to be protected.\nRarity \u2013 barrow cemeteries are sufficiently rare nationally that there is a presumption in favour of scheduling those that are relatively complete and that retain archaeological remains.\nDocumentation/finds \u2013 trial trenching has recovered a range of artefacts and remains related to the use of the area as a Bronze Age funerary site.\nSurvival \u2013 despite the loss of upstanding barrow mounds, the ditches survive well and to significant depth, and the group itself is complete and illustrative of the dispersed cemetery form.\nDiversity \u2013 the form of the individual barrows cannot be established without further investigation of the ring ditches, but it is known that one is an unusual disk barrow, and that another is a multi-phase double ditched barrow, representing a range of approaches to Bronze Age funerary ritual.\nPotential \u2013 trial trenching has revealed that there are archaeological remains beneath the ploughed topsoil on the crop mark features, and there potential for further remains to exist between the barrows.\nWhat does this mean for the campaign?\nIt\u2019s not possible to tell yet what the exact impact and implications on the proposed development plans will be, but considerable consideration will now need to be given by the developers as to how they intend to develop the site without disturbing the newly protected area, and how their 20+ year restoration plans (for example, for a six-lane rowing lake) will be adapted to encompass the legal protection awarded to the barrow cemetery site. More information will be available on this website as and when we know more.\nReference (for designation rationale)\nhttp://list.english-heritage.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1421606. Accessed January 2015.\nTwo further applications have been made. The first is to consolidate the existing SAM into a more regular shape and incorporate some additional adjacent archaeological features. This would increase the area of the SAM from c.11 to c.14 hectares (c. +25%). It is still being considered and we are quite hopeful. The second was a new application to protect other archaeological features on the site but unfortunately was rejected. We are considering whether to appeal this decision.",

        "raw_content": "Treating the Injured Worker\nThe Pennsylvania Workers\u2019 Compensation Act provides that the employer\u2019s workers\u2019 compensation carrier must provide payment for reasonable surgical and medical services rendered in connection with the treatment of a work injury.\nMost medical practitioners with any experience treating injured workers have probably been told that they will not be paid for treatment provided during the first 90 days after the work injury. But, this \u201crule\u201d is not as cut and dried as injured workers and their doctors are often led to believe.\nThe Pennsylvania Workers\u2019 Compensation Act, in Section 306 (f.1)(1)(i), does give employers a right to establish a list (or panel) of designated health care providers. When the list is properly posted and the necessary acknowledgment forms are signed, the employer should be responsible for payment only to those health care providers on the list during the first 90 days of treatment for the work injury. A closer reading of Section 306 (f.1)(1)(i) and relevant case law interpreting that section, however, makes it clear that the employer\u2019s right to control medical treatment for 90 days is far from absolute.\nNothing in the Act prohibits the injured worker from treating with any doctor of his or her choosing at any time. The Act merely addresses the employer\u2019s responsibility to pay for such treatment.\nIn order for the employer to limit the injured worker\u2019s choice of medical providers, the employer must provide a clearly written notice to the injured worker of his or her rights and duties with regard to medical treatment. This notice must be signed by the employee a) at the time of hire, b) whenever changes are made in the list, and c) immediately following the work injury.\nThe list of employer-chosen health care providers must contain at least six providers. Three of the six providers must be physicians.\nThe listed providers must be reasonably geographically accessible to the injured worker.\nThe list of providers must contain a provider with specialties appropriate for the anticipated work-related medical problems of the employee. If a particular specialty is not on the list and the specialty care is reasonable and necessary for treatment of the work injury, the injured worker may treat with a health care provider of his or her choosing.\nAs a practical matter, very few employers in Pennsylvania will meet the above posting and acknowledgment requirements to compel an injured worker to treat with the employer\u2019s panel doctor for the first 90 days of treatment. The Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court, in Pennsylvania Department of Corrections v. WCAB (Kirchner), 805 A.2d 633 (Pa. Cmwlth. 2002),clearly detailed the strict requirements that the employer must meet in order to maintain control over the injured worker\u2019s choice of medical providers during the first 90 days of treatment.\nSubmission of Medical Bills and Supporting Documentation to the Workers\u2019 Compensation Carrier\nSection 306 (f.1)(2) directs the medical provider to file periodic reports with the workers\u2019 compensation carrier on a Medical Report Form. The Medical Report Form should be filed with the carrier within 10 days of commencing treatment and at least once a month thereafter as long as treatment continues.\nDownload a Medical Report Form\nThe medical provider, upon providing medical treatment to the injured worker, should forward its bill to the workers\u2019 compensation carrier along with the CMS insurance claim form and the supporting medical documentation (office notes, operative reports, diagnostic test results, etc.).\nIt is important the medical providers are aware of what specific injury is recognized in a workers\u2019 compensation claim and that the appropriate diagnostic code is used when submitting a bill to the workers\u2019 compensation carrier.\nFee Review Procedure\nAny dispute between the medical provider and the carrier regarding the amount and/or timeliness of the payment of a medical bill (including failure to pay interest) can be addressed by the provider filing an Application for Fee Review Pursuant to Section 306 (f.1). This Application can now be filed through the Department of Labor and Industry\u2019s new Workers\u2019 Compensation and Automation and Integration System (WCAIS) at http://www.portal.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt/community/wcais/20738 . The Application must be filed no more than 30 days following notification of a disputed treatment or 90 days following the original billing date of the treatment which is the subject of the dispute, whichever is later.\nThe workers\u2019 compensation carrier has the right to file a Utilization Review Request in connection with any submitted bill to contest the reasonableness and/or necessity of the treatment in question. The Utilization Review Request must be filed by the carrier within 30 days of receipt of a properly submitted bill.\nThe Utilization Review Request will be forwarded by the Bureau to a Utilization Review Organization (URO). The URO will request and review medical records from the injured worker\u2019s treatment doctors. The URO will also contact the medical provider under review and discuss the contested treatment. Finally, the URO will accept and consider a written statement from the injured worker regarding the treatment and its effect on the injured worker\u2019s relief and recovery.\nThe URO will make a determination solely as to whether the treatment in question is reasonable and necessary for the recognized work injury.\nIt is of utmost importance that the medical provider under review cooperate with the URO. If the provider fails to provide records to the URO, the URO must issue a determination that the treatment is not reasonable and necessary. Such a determination is not subject to review or appeal.\nDo you treat injured workers?\nCall or Contact us today.",

        "raw_content": "Emily Murray September 27, 2018 September 27, 2018 Road to Recovery\nWeight fluctuations are a normal part of eating disorder recovery\u2013 but that doesn\u2019t make them any easier.\nThe only way to truly recovery from your eating disorder is to surrender all efforts spent on trying to control your weight and body size. This goes without saying, but all behaviors such as dieting / food restriction, binging, and purging (aka the things that cause weight fluctuations) must come to an end in order to recover. This also means not suppressing your natural body weight. Many individuals who have been engaging in dieting / disordered eating behaviors for years are unaware of what their healthy weight range actually is, so it\u2019s unfair to set a pre-determined goal weight without allowing for flexibility in that range.\nWhen it comes down to it, we simply aren\u2019t in control. One of my favorite quotes on this subject comes from one of my fellow Health at Every Size (HAES) Dietitians, Meghan Kacmarcik, RDN, LD. She says, \u201cIf you\u2019re a size 8 show, you\u2019re not going to be able to comfortably fit into a size 7, no matter how hard you try. Just like your body: You can\u2019t force yourself into a size you weren\u2019t meant to be. You can\u2019t defy science.\u201d\nBut with this release of control comes many scary new steps, one of those changes being your body size.\nI have personally experienced how frustrating it can be to lose weight + buy a whole new wardrobe, only to enter into recovery and not be able to fit into any of my new clothes.\nTo make matters worse, I gave away all of the clothes that no longer fit me in order to save some closet space.\nI ended up with what seemed like nothing to wear.\nI remember when I was finally able to fit into the size I had always dreamed of, I was so proud.\nLooking back, I\u2019m not sure why\u2026I had nothing to be proud of.\nThere is nothing praise worthy about starvation.\nLet\u2019s not forget, I had to get my wedding ring resized four times\u2013 at the time my fianc\u00e9 proposed, I had only been in eating disorder recovery for about a month. The jewelers looked like I was crazy every time they saw me come back in. I finally just blurted out,\n\u201cI need it resized because I am in eating disorder recovery.\u201d\nThe questions stopped after that.\nAs inconvenient as this was at the time, I knew it\u2019s what I needed to do. It didn\u2019t matter how many times I needed to get my ring resized. I wanted to make sure that my ring didn\u2019t either slip of my finger as I was washing dishes, OR cut off my circulation. My goal was to get healthy, not to fit into a pre-determined size. I also wanted to stop obsessing about all of little things related to my body that I didn\u2019t necessarily love at the time. To do that, I know I needed everything that I wore to be comfortable.\n\u2013Side note: When I stopped restricting food + consistently nourished my body with the food it needed, my body weight became incredibly stable, and my wedding ring has fit great ever since. Now, I know that this won\u2019t always be the case. Life happens\u2013 we get pregnant, go through menopause, get sick, take care of family members, have changes in activity, and simply get older. Most of our bodies will not stay the same size and shape our entire lives\u2013 and that\u2019s okay! There will be fluctuations\u2013and that\u2019s okay!\nAnd when that happens, I will happily march into Kay Jewelers and get my ring adjusted to the size that it needs to be. Let\u2019s face it\u2013 by now, I\u2019m a pro.\nOk, let\u2019s get back to the main subject.\nSo\u2026..weight changes are hard for anyone, much less someone who is in recovery for an eating disorder.\nIt takes time and self-compassion to learn how to accept your body for where it\u2019s at.\nTo make things more difficult, once you\u2019ve come to terms with your new body, you often realize that none of your clothes fit\u2013 and that\u2019s a problem. As if treatment wasn\u2019t expensive enough, a new wardrobe is just as much (if not more)!\nHere are 7 tips that helped me rebuild my wardrobe during eating disorder recovery (and helped save some cash while doing so):\nSell or give away clothes that no longer fit: One of the most helpful things that I could have done for my recovery was to get rid of my \u201csick clothes\u201d\u2013 the clothes that I knew would not fit if / when I stopped engaging in eating disorder behaviors. As painful as it was to part from some of these items, it was also a big weight off of my shoulders\u2013there was no more pressure to fit into clothing that my body was never meant to wear. I sold what I could (and earned about $$50 that I could put towards new clothes!) and gave away what I couldn\u2019t sell.\nDon\u2019t shop alone: We are our own worse critics. Take an encouraging, trusted friend or family member with you when you first hit the shops. It\u2019s important to bring someone that can be honest with you about the size and fit of the clothes you are trying on. For example, it\u2019s common for individuals in eating disorder recovery to buy clothes that are incredibly too large for them in order to mask / hide their bodies. If this is something you\u2019re trying to work through, it may be helpful to have another set of eyes to help determine what actually fits vs. what doesn\u2019t. In contrast, if you are in the middle of the weight restoration process, it may be a good idea to buy your clothing a size up so that it lasts longer. Your treatment team can help you determine where you are in that process. Resist the temptation to buy something that doesn\u2019t fit well only because you want to stay the same size. It\u2019s important to bring a \u201csafe\u201d person along for the ride so you don\u2019t get bogged down by the size listed on the clothing tag.\nShop Online: If you aren\u2019t quite ready to face the dressing room, online shopping could be a great option for you! Some of my favorite items of clothing have come straight from Amazon! Amazon has everything you could ever ask for, so many cute sizes + colors, and most of what they have is relatively affordable. Read reviews to determine the quality of what you\u2019re buying and whether or not the size runs big or small. Try the clothes on in the safety of your home, and if they don\u2019t fit, no big deal! Ship it all back for free!\nBuy neutral colors: Selecting neutral colors can help give you more bang-for-your-buck because it makes it easier to mix-and-match different items. I generally tend to buy more neutral colors when I am shopping for cardigans, jackets, and pants, and add in a pop of color with dresses, shirts, shoes, and jewelry.\nDitch the name brands: Some people who are reading this are able to afford Lulu Lemon, Nike, Lizard Thicket, and Free People, even with the cost of treatment factored in. Most of you, like me, will not, and that\u2019s okay! Some of my favorite pairs of leggings have come from Walmart, and cost around $8-12 dollars. Totally affordable and still super cute!\nExperiment with your style: During eating disorder recovery, you have the really unique opportunity to rebuild your life from the ground up, and you get to decide who you want to be. When the eating disorder is in control, individuals often get lost in their identify, and have to constantly work through the question, \u201cWho am I without my Eating Disorder?\u201d Style is included in that. The way you dress is one way to use your voice and express yourself to other people in a way that is not self-destructive. So be creative! Have fun piecing together outfits.\nDon\u2019t stress: At the end of the day, clothes are just clothes. In 20, 50, and 100 years, no one is going to remember the clothes that you were wearing. They are going to remember who you are as a person and how you contributed to their life. Life is more than the clothes you wear or the size of your body.\nPhoto: Pixabay / 2goldi\nPrevious My Gynecologist Got it Wrong: Why All Health Care Practitioners Should Receive Training on Eating Disorders\nNext When \u201cAll Things\u201d Includes An Eating Disorder",

        "raw_content": "UFOs Halt Flights at Peru\u2019s International Airport, Twice\nAccording to recent reports, a large group of unidentified flying objects suspended regular operations at the Jorge Ch\u00e1vez International Airport in Lima, Peru. Twice.\nThe large collection of twelve airborne objects halted all aircraft from taking off or landing for three hours on February 12th at 7:38 pm local time. The event was leaked only days ago to the media by Ufologist Mario Zegarra, who was provided with documents from CORPAC, the corporation which owns and operates the airport. According to Zegarra, the radar tower was engaged in communications with pilots diverting them to another airport due to unusual radar activity. Zegarra stated,\nThe Jorge Chavez airport radar captured 12 unidentified echoes on its screen. Each identified with code 0000, which means a UFO\u2026\nZegarra states that he heard recordings of the conversations between the control tower and the pilots, but those have yet to be released to the public.\nThe front page a local Peruvian newspaper where the story broke.\nDuring the incident, a second Ufologist, Joshue Cornejo, captured the image below in the same area as the airport using an infrared video camera. He and Zegarra claim that these twelve objects are the same ones that showed up on the airport\u2019s radar system, and are responsible for the suspension of outgoing and incoming flights. According to Cornejo, the objects were not easily visible to the naked eye.\nA still of the twelve objects that allegedly ground Lima\u2019s international airport to a standstill for three hours.\nWhile this may be strange, the leaked documents also contained information regarding a second UFO incident on February 7th which also temporarily shut down the airport at 9:40 pm local time. According to the February 7th incident, the radar identified a large unknown object passing over the airport\u2019s airspace.\nAn image of the CORPAC documents provided by Zegarra.\nPerhaps one of the most famous airport UFO incidents occurred over O\u2019Hare International Airport in 2006. Personnel in the radar tower, ground crews, pilots and passengers all reported seeing a large disk shaped object silently hovering over Gate C-17. The initial sighting was made by a ramp operator who contacted the tower and the crew of a United Airlines Flight 446. A dozen employees reported the object to their superiors, while many others also allegedly saw the object.\nRegardless of one\u2019s personal belief towards the UFO question, these two incidents over Peru ultimately caused significant inconvenience for the passengers who had to wait for the airport to resume flights. Furthermore, airports are busy with dozens of flights either ready to take off or land within minutes of each other, and the slightest misstep on the part of the radar crew, pilots, or ground crew can lead to tragic consequences.",

The book contains a number of extracts from Aztec account of the genocide of Mexico. Leon-Portillo tries to explain the background and peculiarities to but it in context. The broken spear unlike most accounts of the genocide of Mexico portrays the great Aztec people with their full dignity, beauty, and culture. Even after the genocide and the great suffering that affected them , they are still dignified and noble, this story shows the Aztecs as they were, very cultured, and with high levels of organization and religion. It also shows Aztecs resisting the European bravely and fiercely even though they lost eventually.\nHowever, it also shows the faults, weaknesses and failures of the Aztecs, from the average Aztec's perspective. We seethe Aztec leader who, despite knowing that the Europeans were brutal murderers, chose to fight them from the very beginning. This leader was later imprisoned by the Europeans and issued orders on their behalf. He was later executed Aztec people for treachery. We also see the leaders from other tribes who were the collaborators acting as willing allies to the Europeans, and betraying out the Aztecs, and in the end they also betrayed their own people, to the Europeans. We also see the extremism and defiance of the Aztec people who did not waver but arose and took the fight to these Europeans.\nThe factors that contributed to the defeat of the Aztecs were several. The main includes; superstition, weapons and warring tactics, and the introduction of new diseases. There were sign and omens that seemed to predict the downfall of civilization. These were the part of Aztec religion. The Aztecs used of arrows and spears which could not match the Spaniards weapons. The war was being fought in the name of God or gods, but the Spaniards appeared to kill for the pleasure of killing. The Aztecs fought in order to make sacrifices to their god.\nCities in Civilization by Peter Hall",

In this highly participatory workshop, we will use a combination of presentations, discussion groups (some on the beach), videos, and simulation games, to dive deeply into the process of exploring and developing innovative methods of finance and exchange, like community currencies and credit clearing exchanges.\nOur venue is the beautiful, modern and comfortable Hotel Alexandros, a calm and serene retreat center perched on the hillside overlooking the Aegean Sea within walking distance to the pristine Plaka beach and the clear waters of the Mediterranean.\nCourse fees are extremely affordable but a few fee concessions may be a available for qualified low income participants.\nThe course runs from June 24 thru July 1. Course description and registration form can be found at http://www.kalikalos.org/exchange-finance. Space is limited so register early.\nThe Big Short and other revealing sources\nIf you have not seen the movie The Big Short, I encourage you to do so. It is based on the book by Michael Lewis, a former Wall Street insider with an unusual talent for telling a good story and making complicated things understandable. In this book and others of his that I\u2019ve read (Boomerang and Flash Boys), Lewis does a superb job of describing Wall Street corruption and providing important insights about our dysfunctional systems of money, banking and finance.\nI also recommend the new book, Healing Capitalism, by my friend Prof. Jem Bendell. The printed book is priced for the academic market (pricey) but the digital format is much more reasonable. In the introduction, which you can read for free, Bendell quotes E. C. Riegel: \u201cwe need not petition Congress and we need not waste time to denounce bankers, for they can neither help nor hinder our natural right to extend credit to each other, and this is the perfect basis for a money system.\u201d You can download the Introduction here, and links to free downloads of Riegel\u2019s works can be found at http://reinventingmoney.com/library/.\nOn a personal note, it is in sadness that I report the passing of my dear sister, my only sibling, Mary Lillian (we always called her Marylil) on the second day of the new year.

I\u2019m corresponding, writing, advising and waiting to see what new opportunities might present themselves.\nMy tour of Europe included presentations, interviews, and/or workshops in Greece, Italy, and Ireland. As recordings of my presentations become available, I will be posting them on my website https://beyondmoney.net/. So far I\u2019ve posted interviews from Athens and Sardinia, and the slide show from the workshop I conducted in Athens. The audio of my August 28 Dublin presentation, The Liberation of Money and Credit, can be heard at https://soundcloud.com/flanagankev/thomas-greco-dublin-august-28-2015.\nCommon Dreams has just published my latest article, 50 Ways to Leave the Euro: Greece and the Global Crisis. In this article I provide my prescriptions for how Greece (and other countries) might relieve their impossible debt burden, and I describe ways in which domestic liquidity can be created apart from the euro regime and without inflation. You can read it here. I\u2019ve also posted it on my website as a PDF file.\nAs an aside, in addition to Greece\u2019s economic and financial problems, the country has been overwhelmed by a flood of refugees and migrants. It is reported that more than a half million have arrived on Greek islands just in the past 10 months. This refugee crisis that is now threatening all of Europe is a direct result of the destabilizing actions by the Western powers attempting over the past several years to reshape the politics of the Middle-east and North Africa. Their agenda goes way beyond oil, but few people are paying any attention. Former Reagan administration official Paul Craig Roberts is one of many sources that provide deeper insights, for example in his article, The Re-enserfment of Western Peoples.\nEvery few years the U.S. Congress goes through the charade of debating whether or not to raise the limit on the government debt. In the end they always do. According to Wikipedia, \u201cthe US has raised its debt ceiling (in some form or other) at least 90 times in the 20th century.[11] The debt ceiling has been raised 74 times since March 1962,[12] including 18 times under Ronald Reagan, eight times under Bill Clinton, seven times under George W. Bush, and five times under Barack Obama.\u201d\nWhy continue the pretense that there is any choice about it? Why can\u2019t the government balance its budget and why does the national debt keep increasing? The real answer, which I wrote a quarter century ago, will probably surprise you. To learn what it is, see my recent post at https://beyondmoney.net/2015/10/15/why-cant-governments-balance-their-budgets/.\nRecordings made at last June\u2019s Seizing an Alternative conference at Pomona College are being compiled and made available at the Pando Populus website. These include several sessions from Track 6: Political Collapse in which I participated.\nSession 1 featured presentations by John B. Cobb, Jr., Ellen Brown, and Thomas Greco. In this recording, John Cobb\u2019s introduction is followed by Ellen Brown\u2019s presentation (starting at minute 6:45) and Thomas Greco\u2019s (starting at minute 22:24 and ending at minute 44:15). A Q&A session runs from minute 44:15 to the end. In my portion I provide a brief overview of private currencies and exchange systems and present some of my early prescriptions for addressing the Greek debt crisis.\nSession 7 featured presentations by Ellen Brown, Thomas Greco, and Kevin Clark. My presentation begins at minute 27:18 and ends at minute 54:30. In it I answer the fundamental questions about money and the exchange process, and how to reclaim the credit commons. _______________________________________________\nI was very sad to learn recently that Peter Etherden has passed away. Peter was one of my very good friends with whom I always enjoyed visiting and discussing our mutual interests. I\u2019m glad that I got to see him a few weeks ago in London just prior to my return to the U.S.\nI first met Peter in 1986 in Zurich where we both attended the Fourth World Assembly that was organized by John Papworth. Over the subsequent years we corresponded regularly and we were able to meet several times during my visits to England. One of my fondest memories is of my visit in 2002 when he and his partner Connie lived aboard their boat in Rye harbor. During that visit the three of us sailed across the English Channel to Bologne where we spent a few days at mooring in the harbor. I also recall 2001 when my then partner Donna and I visited Rye and the four of us went off to explore Devon and Cornwall, a very beautiful part of Britain.\nPeter was a diligent researcher and prolific writer whose interests were wide ranging. He will be greatly missed. Many of his research compilations and his writings under various pen names can be found at http://www.cesc.net/.\nThe case of Iceland \u2013 Is democracy more important than financial markets?\nIn his 2012 CBC interview, the President of Iceland very articulately describes the situation as it played out in his country during the global financial crisis that began in 2008. He describes the ways in which the failure of Icelandic banks was handled, the strong reaction from the British and Dutch governments, the reasons behind his government\u2019s actions, and what really is at stake, not only for Iceland but for every country in the world. See it at https://youtu.be/7zlzC_X MQzI.\nIn case you missed the news, as I did, the Social TRade Organisation (STRO) last year was chosen by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to receive the prestigious E-pay Innovation Award for its Cyclos secure payments platform. Cyclos was chosen to receive the award over 9 other contenders from around the world. The $50,000 award was given at a ceremony at the annual conference of the Electronic Transactions Association in Las Vegas.\nFinally, as Thanksgiving day in the U.S. approaches, I\u2019m reminded of how blessed my life has been. It is in the spirit of gratitude that I thank you for your support and wish you all a happy holiday season.\nPosted in Developing Alternatives, Emerging paradigm, My activities, Prescriptions\nUpcoming Ireland Events and My Remaining Tour Itinerary\nMy Activities in Greece, an abbreviated sketch\nThe summer has gone pretty much according to the plan I laid out in my Spring Newsletter, with of course the inevitable addition of things that have popped up spontaneously. I\u2019m sorry I\u2019ve been too busy to report about all of it, even though I\u2019m sure many of my readers would want to know. My main reason for writing now is to highlight the agenda for the remainder of my summer tour in case some of you happen to be in the neighborhood of Ireland, Scotland or England. I hadn\u2019t really planned to visit Italy but here I am\u2014in Rome after visits to Tuscany and Sardinia (more on that below). I\u2019m now in Ireland for the final events of my summer tour.\nHere\u2019s what I\u2019ll be doing.\nIreland Events and My Remaining Tour Itinerary\n25 to 27 August 2015. I\u2019ll be at Cloughjordan Ecovillage to participate in the P2P Summer School program on The Art of Commoning. Then on Friday, 28 August, I will give a lecture at Trinity College, Dublin, followed by a panel discussion. And on Saturday, 29 August, I will conduct a workshop at the same venue. Here are the details.\nFriday August 28th 19:00 \u2013 21:00\nTalk: The Liberation of Money and Credit\nWhere: CONNECT (Formerly CTVR) Dunlop Oriel House, 34 Westland Row, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin.\nOn the evening of Friday August 28th, Thomas Greco will give a presentation on The Liberation of Money and Credit, outlining the fundamental importance of reclaiming the credit commons and showing how communities and businesses can reduce their dependence on bank borrowing and conventional, political forms of money. After the talk Thomas will join a panel with Michel Bauwens and Kevin Flanagan of the P2P Foundation, Dr Rachel O\u2019Dwyer of Trinity College Dublin and Graham Barnes of Feasta for a Q&A session.\nSaturday August 29th 10:00 \u2013 16:00\nWorkshop: The Exchange Revolution: Taking Complementary Currencies and Moneyless Trading to a New Level\nOn Saturday, Thomas will run a workshop for currency activists, practitioners, researchers, and social entrepreneurs on The Exchange Revolution: Taking complementary currencies and moneyless trading to a new level, also at the CONNECT venue in Dublin. Anyone with a specific interest in developing and extending the impact of community currencies, mutual credit, and other complementary exchange mechanisms is invited to attend.\nBoth events are sponsored and hosted by CONNECT (formerly CTVR \u2013 http://www.ctvr.ie/), at their Dublin city centre venue and supported by Feasta, the Foundation for the Economics of Sustainability (http://www.feasta.org) and P2P Foundation Ireland.\nBoth Dublin events are free but people are asked to register at:\nhttp://www.eventbrite.com/e/beyond-money-events-with-thomas-greco-tickets-18131016358\nTuesday, 1 September, at Queens College, Belfast\nEvening Lecture, Communities, Currencies and the Commons: Democratising money creation & enterprise after the Euro-Greek crisis, with Thomas Greco at Queens College, (Senate Room) at 7.30pm (registration at 7.15pm) hosted by the School of Law partnered by Positive MoneyNI. The talk will be followed by panel discussion.\nCoordinator \u2013 William Methven, methvenwilliam@gmail.com\nFrom Belfast, I will travel to Edinburgh, Scotland for a few days of exploring, then to London. I\u2019m scheduled to fly back to San Francisco on September 9.\nAltogether, I spent a little more than three weeks at the Kalikalos Holistic Summer School during the months of June and July. Kalikalos is located on the Mt. Pelion peninsula where the views are spectacular, the mountain villages delightful, and the nearby beaches inviting, all of which provides a good balance of work, play and living in community with people from diverse places. In this ever-changing community of students, workshop leaders, volunteers, facilitators-in-residence, and staff, everyone pitches in to prepare meals, clean up, and share their special gifts. The daily program routine leaves plenty of time for recreation and many people choose to go down the mountain to the beach in the afternoons (about a 20 minute ride) or to hike the ancient donkey trails that connect the villages. Healthy living is a fundamental aspect of the Kalikalos experience with plenty of opportunity for yoga, meditation, tai chi and whatever other modes of centering people care to share. Meals are vegetarian and based mainly on fresh whole foods and traditional Greek ingredients\u2014local olives. olive oil, feta cheese, locally baked bread, tomatoes, cucumbers, and vegetables from Kalikalos\u2019 own gardens.\nDuring my first week there I gave two presentations and conducted sessions in which we played two of my simulation games, Money Monopoly and Free Exchange. Then in July during the workshop on Solidarity Economy, I participated in most of the sessions and gave two presentations on the money problem and exchange altenatives.\nWhile my work on exchange alternatives in Greece has been mostly with private groups and activists, I have developed proposals for creating domestic and community liquidity at all levels ranging from the bottom upward to include grassroots initiatives, business associations, municipal governments, and even the national government. I will be publishing specific details about these proposals in the near future. I am also continuing to work with colleagues in Volos on laying out the framework for a nationwide network of localized credit clearing exchanges.\nDuring the last weekend in July I conducted a two day workshop in Athens for a sizable group of participants interested, or active in programs to create complementary liquidity. In the first session our discussions were based on my slide show on the Greek situation, and in the second, my presentation on the issues that need to be addressed in Taking Moneyless Exchange to Scale. That slide show is posted on my website at https://beyondmoney.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/workshop-athens.ppsx.\nOn Wednesday, July 29, I was interviewed on Porto Kali internet radio in Athens (in English with Greek translation). You can listen to it at http://wp.me/a43RA-Ge. _________________________________________________\nThe Greek debt crisis has been all over the news lately so most everyone is aware of it, but most people are not aware of the underlying causes or what is being done to the Greek nation by the financial and political powers-that-be. Several of my recent posts at http://beyondmoney.net have dealt with that topic. In addition, there have been some very good recent articles that clearly explain it. These three are especially enlightening:\n\u2022 GREECE\u2019D: We Voted \u2018No\u2019 to slavery, but \u2018Yes\u2019 to our chains, by investigative reporter Greg Palast.\n\u2022 The Rest of the Story About Greece: EU\u2019s economic demands seek to derail small business and local communities, paving the way for multinational corporate giants.\n\u2022 Ellen Brown\u2019s fine article \u201cGuerrilla Warfare Against a Hegemonic Power\u201d: The Challenge and Promise of Greece\nAnd if you want to understand the larger agenda of which the Greek situation is indicative, be sure to listen to Ellen Brown\u2019s interview with Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, Greece-y Mess \u2013 07.08.15, at http://itsourmoney.podbean.com/e/greece-y-mess-070815/\nLast week I had occasion to visit the Italian island of Sardinia and spend a few hours meeting with the founders and managers of a commercial trade exchange called Sardex.\nI\u2019ve known about Sardex since almost its beginning five years ago and have corresponded over the past few years with Giuseppe Littera, one of its founders, but this was the first opportunity I\u2019ve had to get an inside look at their operation. I came away with a better understanding of how they operate and the impression that the Sardex structures, procedures, and protocols come closer to optimal than any other trade exchange I\u2019ve seen. It appears to be a developing model that can be both scalable and replicable.\nYou can read my brief but more complete report here, and. you can get a pretty good picture of the distinctive features of Sardex by viewing Giuseppe Littera\u2019s presentation (in English) that was made at a conference in Volos, Greece, in 2014. You can find it on YouTube at, https://youtu.be/rvaL2A8juz0.\nAll best wishes for a playful and enjoyable summer,\nPosted in Developing Alternatives, Education, Emerging paradigm, My activities\nTagged Greece, newsletter, Sardex\nSummer in Greece (and elsewhere in Europe)\nThe Greek Debt Crisis, an Opportunity for Innovation\nAfrican Currency Projects Proliferating\nGood Reading, Listening, and Viewing\nThe fates have conspired to draw me back to Greece this coming summer. I\u2019ve recently had a lot of interesting correspondence with people in Europe who are working, in one way or another, on solutions to the intensifying global financial crisis. The eastern Mediterranean seems to be at the leading edge of the global debt tsunami so that\u2019s the place to be.\nI have been invited to serve as a Scientist in Residence at the holistic Kalikalos Summer School on the mythical Pelion peninsula near Volos, Greece. I will be there during the periods 12 to 19 June and 10 to 17 July, and possibly some other times in between or after those dates. During the 12-19 June period, Kalikalos will also feature a course, The Big Picture: Toward a new way of relating to self, community and planet, led by Jennifer Hinton and Theoharis Tziovaras, and during the 10 to 17 July period, Jonathan Dawson of Schumacher College (UK) will be offering a course, Economics of Solidarity, in which I will assist. My residency there will provide lots of opportunities for idea sharing and collaboration.\nThe school\u2019s website describes it as follows: \u201cThe Kalikalos living learning centers in Pelion, Greece are dedicated to demonstrating the power of authentic community as a vehicle for building a new holistic world of peace, partnership and sustainability. Our three campuses offer an educational programme of workshops, retreats, workcamps, conferences and living-in-community guest weeks in the summer months that include healing (self, society & planet), creative arts, communication science, and Self-enquiry. For the latest information about the Centres, please subscribe to our bi-monthly newsletter at: www.kalikalos.com/eNews.\u201d\nIn addition to my stay at Kalikalos, I expect to be spending some time elsewhere in Greece during June and July. Besides Athens and Volos, Crete and Cyprus are also possibilities. At the moment, August is open, but I plan to remain in Europe until early September. My return flight is booked from London, so I will be spending at least a few days in England prior to my departure. As always, I am open to visiting, presenting, and conferring in places along my routes. Proposals can be sent to me at thgreco@mindspring.com.\nSince the January elections there, and in anticipation of my summer visit, I\u2019ve been looking closely at Greece,\u2014researching its history, politics, and economy. A lot of media attention has been given to the new government of the Syriza Party and its populist agenda. Especially prominent in the news has been their new Finance Minister, Yanis Varoufakis who has been wrangling with Angela Merkel and the rest of Greece\u2019s European creditors over restructuring the countries debt and relaxing the austerity conditions that were accepted by the previous administration.\nVaroufakis has an impressive background and some unorthodox ideas about how to address the debt crisis that threatens to not only crush Greece, but to unravel the entire Eurozone. He is to be admired for his courage in standing up to the \u201ctroika\u201d (the European Commission (EC), International Monetary Fund (IMF), and European Central Bank (ECB)), and for exposing the failures and pretense of the economics profession. Varoufakis\u2019 blog provides links to many of his interviews and presentations, and his book, The Global Minotaur: America, the True Origins of the Financial Crisis and the Future of the World Economy, published in 2011 and updated in 2013, is now gaining wide attention.\nThat is not to say that he gets everything right. He may have the right approach to dealing with the immediate crisis of national insolvency, but he seems to be lacking when it comes to understanding the more fundamental flaws of money that is created by banks on the basis of interest-bearing debt, nor does he seem to appreciate the vast potential of innovative exchange mechanisms like mutual credit clearing and private currencies issued by trusted domestic producers.\nHe has however posted one currency idea on his blog that might be of some help if some features were to be changed. I have posted my suggestions about that as a comment to his post. You can find both his proposal and my comment at http://yanisvaroufakis.eu/2014/02/15/bitcoin-a-flawed-currency-blueprint-with-a-potentially-useful-application-for-the-eurozone/#comment-148955.\nBesides accessing many web sources, I discovered, quite by accident in a local bookshop, a new book that is proving to be invaluable in providing me with essential background and insights into how things operate in Greece in the post-WWII era. The book is, The Thirteenth Labour of Hercules: Inside the Greek Crisis, authored by journalist Yannis Palaiologos (Portobello Books, 2014). Reading it has shown me the many dimensions of Greek politics and the domestic and foreign basis of the present crisis. It seems that there is plenty of blame to go around.\nI will spend the month of May going back and forth between California and the East Coast to visit family and friends. Then in early June prior to my departure for Europe, I will be occupied with events in California. On June 2, I will lead a discussion in Martinez (San Francisco Bay area). This event, sponsored the Mt. Diablo Peace Center and Friendly Favors, is titled, Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea: What Greece needs to do to extricate itself from its economic and financial predicament. We will discuss the various options that Greece and other debtor nations might employ, both in dealing with their immediate problem of insolvency, and in rebuilding their sovereign domestic economies. Please see Details and RSVP at the Events page of www.favors.org.\nThen, from June 4 thru 7, I\u2019ll be participating in the conference, Seizing an Alternative: Toward an Ecological Civilization, to be held at Pomona College in southern California. This is shaping up to be a huge event with 12 sections and 80 tracks. I\u2019ll be playing a major role in Section 1, The Threatening Catastrophe: Responding Now, Track 6: Political Collapse (http://www.ctr4process.org/whitehead2015/section-1-track-6/). I will be providing input on how the geopolitical order is determined by elite control of money and banking, and outline some promising strategies for empowering people and communities by reclaiming the credit commons.\nWe are finding great cause for optimism as we see successful programs in Africa being replicated and expanded. Will Ruddick and his team are continuing their excellent work, helping people to discover their own power by collaborating to establish exchange mechanisms based on the value of their own production. In a recent message Will reported that, in Kenya and South Africa, they are \u201cin the process of implementing 8 community currency programs effecting [sic] well over 100,000 people.\u201d Building upon their success with the Bangla-Pesa currency in Mombasa and the Gatina-Pesa in Nairobi, they expect these community currency projects will unlock the potential for local producers to greatly expand their trading with each other and to pull themselves up out of poverty. Will says, \u201cWe will be launching a 2nd community currency in Nairobi\u2019s slums (Kangemi-Pesa) on April 4th\u2026 It will be a large event with marches through that area\u2026These programs represent the foundation of what is rapidly becoming a global movement toward democratic and decentralized monetary systems. Creating resilient networks of markets across Africa is the path toward truly sustainable development\u201d\nWill also reports that they \u201chave recently made the move to develop a non-profit foundation called Grassroots Economics to house these programs, and are looking for partners that really understand the seriousness of the monetary problem and the urgent need for community based solutions.\u201d A quick update on the currency projects can be found here.\nRichard Werner is one of the few academic economists worth listening to. I recently read his\npaper, How do banks create money, and why can other \ufb01rms not do the same? An explanation for the coexistence of lending and deposit-taking. This is an excellent and clear explanation of the accounting sleight-of-hand that enables banks to create deposits (money) without the vast majority of people, even most bankers, realizing what is happening. Of course, many of us in the alternative exchange movement have long recognized that banks do this, but Richard\u2019s explanation of HOW they are able to do this must be compelling even to his academic colleagues. This paper is a very important contribution to the literature of monetary and banking reform and transcendence because it also outlines the positive implications of some small changes in banking laws and regulations that could be made if there were the political will to do them.\nOf course, understanding how the flawed money system operates is only the beginning, and political approaches to reform seem very unlikely. That knowledge must be used as a departure point from which to design and implement innovative market oriented approaches to extra-bank exchange. Mutual credit-clearing circles and private currencies spent into circulation by trusted issuers, can be organized by businesses and communities to provide \u201chome-grown\u201d liquidity. To my knowledge, there are at present no major legal obstacles in most countries that would impede such innovative technologies from being widely deployed. The Swiss WIR and the existing commercial \u201cbarter\u201d exchanges are imperfect models that provide proof of concept. In the US at least, commercial barter exchanges are officially regarded as \u201cthird party record keepers\u201d which are not subject to banking and money transfer regulations.\nYou might also enjoy viewing the documentary video, Princes of the Yen, which is based on Richard\u2019s book by the same name (subtitled, Japan\u2019s Central Bankers and the Transformation of the Economy). It makes me wonder if there might be a place for directed investment and allocation of credit by central governments in temporarily addressing the worst effects of the European debt crisis (other than bank bailouts, that is).\nStudents of innovation will be interested in The Innovators: How A Group of Hackers, Geniuses, and Geeks Created the Digital Revolution by Walter Isaacson. The audio version, which I have just finished, held my attention throughout the entire 15 CD set.\nSince listening to his Black Swan in audio format a few years ago, I\u2019ve been a fan of Nassim Taleb, so I\u2019m now in the process of listening to his book, Antifragile: Things That Gain From Disorder. This is another work that is both iconoclastic and filled with original ideas. Highly recommend.\nFinally, if you really want to understand what\u2019s happening in the world, you need to follow Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in the Reagan administration. Dr. Roberts is one of the few commentators today who see what is really going on and is willing to tell about it. His recent interview by Greg Hunter is especially timely. View it in my post at BeyondMoney.net.\nContents. (This edition will be timely but brief).\nDegrowth Conference on Social Equity and Ecological Sustainability\nHi, Well it\u2019s just a matter of hours now before I board my flight that will take me back to the United States. I always find other places and cultures interesting, but four months abroad has been long enough and I\u2019m looking forward to being back in more familiar territory, seeing friends and family, and discovering what the universe has to show me next. To begin with, I\u2019ll be enjoying the relative calm and quiet of the Arizona desert, then looking for a more permanent place to hang my hat.\nI spent a good amount of time over the past few weeks writing an article that I was invited to submit for publication in an online journal, Transformation, published by Open Democracy. I\u2019m pleased to announce that my article, Money, debt and the end of the growth imperative was published yesterday. You can read it here,\nUpcoming Degrowth Conference on Social Equity and Ecological Sustainability. Call for papers extended to March 14th\nA recent message from Birte Ewers announces that the 4th International Degrowth Conference to be held in Leipzig Sept 2-6, and that the original deadline for submissions of short papers has been extended. The deadlines for other formats have expired but deadline for \u201cshort papers\u201d is now March 14th. The review process will be concluded by the end of April. See the conference website at http://leipzig.degrowth.org/en/http://leipzig.degrowth.org/en/ and the Call for Papers at http://leipzig.degrowth.org/en/call-for-papers/ for details.\n4th International Degrowth Conference on Social Equity and Ecological Sustainability \u2013 Bridging movements and research for the great transformation.\nThe International Degrowth Conference has reached its fourth venue. Since Paris 2008 the debate on how to move away from a growth-oriented economy towards a more sustainable society has drawn world-wide attention. The fourth international conference will take place in a country that is considered as the European engine of economic growth.\nDifferent traditions of growth critique, such as the concept of a post-growth society stemming from the German-speaking community and the French and Southern European degrowth debate, are invited to a fruitful dialogue. The conference seeks to bring practitioners, activists and scientists together and encompasses various formats for presentations, interaction, workshops, and exchange.\nThe 4th conference will address following thematic threads (abstracts for short papers can be submitted to any of them):\n\u2013 Organizing Society (Emancipatory politics, participation, institutions)\n\u2013 Building a social and ecological economy ((Re-)productivity, commons, society-nature relations)\n\u2013 Living conviviality (Buen vivir. Open knowledge. Convivial technology)\nFor my current journey in Southeast Asia, Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur) serves as both my entry point and exit point. Flights to and from KL tend to be cheaper even than Bangkok, and I always enjoy spending some time in Penang, which is only about a 4 \u00bd hour bus ride from KL Thailand is easily reached from there.\nMalaysia is quite a developed country, though it still has some third world charm, as well as annoyances, like the roar of motorbikes zipping around through every available space, making it difficult and dangerous for pedestrians to cross the streets. Sidewalks, if they exist at all are usually obstructed by parked motorbikes, or food stalls, or even workshops that flow out into the public spaces.\nOne interesting thing about Malaysia is language. Almost everyone speaks some English and signage is usually in both English and Bahasa Melayu, or Malay language, which derives many words from English. Malays have developed what seems to me to be a very reasonable pattern of phonetic spelling.\nHere are a few familiar English words with their phonetic Malay spelling, which I think we should adopt.\nBisikal\nMy pictures from my November visit to Penang\nhttps://picasaweb.google.com/112258124863172998784/201311Penang?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCMnztYHzp4268gE&feat=directlink\nPictures from my February/March visit to Penang and Kuala Lumpur have not yet been uploaded.\nCertainly not original, but here it is; some of you may appreciate it.\nYou know you\u2019re old when you and your teeth no longer sleep together.\nMay you enjoy this season when life springs anew,\nPosted in Emerging paradigm, Humor, My activities, Prescriptions, The Debt Imperative\nTagged Conference on Social Equity, degrowth, Ecological Sustainability, growth imperative, International Degrowth Conference, newsletter",

        "title": "Which Heater Type is the Most Energy Efficient? \u2013 The Bing Lee Blog",
        "raw_content": "Amidst a growing culture of environmental consciousness and rising power costs, energy efficiency is now just as important as price to anyone looking at purchasing new household appliances. This is especially true for those thinking about buying a new heater. So which type of heater is the cheapest to run and most energy efficient? If you want to know how much power and appliance uses, all you have to do is look at the product\u2019s compliance plate. Every electrical appliance sold in Australia has one. It is a metallic sticker or plate attached to the body of the appliance that details information about the item, including how much power it uses. The compliance plate will state the number of watts or amps (A) the appliance uses. The higher the power rating number, the more power the heater will use regardless of whether it is a convection, column or radiator heater. Just as important as the running cost of a heater is how energy efficient it is. Many people confuse these issues as being one in the same when they are in fact two separate (albeit interrelated) matters. Energy efficiency refers to how the output of an appliance relates to the energy it consumes to achieve the task. Energy efficient products are those that use less energy to do the same or better job than a comparable product. When it comes to heaters, gas heaters are far more energy efficient and cheaper to run than their electric counterparts. The running cost of gas heaters is lower because gas is cheaper than electricity. Gas heaters are more energy efficient because they provide high heat output in relation to the energy used to generate that heat. Gas heaters can quickly, effectively and efficiently heat large and open-plan areas. In contrast, electrical heaters are only really effective at warming small to medium enclosed spaces. However, not every home has a gas connection so using an electric heater is the only option for many people. Even though electrical heaters are not as energy efficient as gas models, they can be used efficiently to make the most of the heat they provide and minimise running costs. You can do this by choosing the heater best suited to how and where you will be using it. \u2022 Radiant heaters contain glowing elements and reflectors that radiate heat to quickly heat objects immediately in front of them. However since they don\u2019t warm the air, they are more effective at helping you warm up than heating entire rooms. \u2022 Convection heaters contain an element that warms and circulates air to heat a room. Since they take some time to heat a room, they are most effective when run over long periods within a contained area. \u2022 Oil-filled column heaters take time and energy to warm up, but once heated they will maintain their warmth for quite a while. This type of heater poses a low fire risk, making them ideal for operating in enclosed areas, unattended over long periods, such as in a bedroom overnight.\nPrevious articleOfficeLogitech Makes Personal Computing Better\nNext articleLifestyle TechBosch: Inventing Innovation and Convenience",

        "raw_content": "By now it\u2019s likely you\u2019ve heard some good things about Lulu Wang\u2019s The Farewell, probably the most buzzed about film from this year\u2019s Sundance. People aren't chatting about the film because it\u2019s this amazing work of independent cinema but rather because it\u2019s about as close to middle-of-the-road perfection as you can get.\nI say that with affection as I found myself just as charmed by The Farewell as everyone else. This is a movie designed from the ground up to entertain without any potential viewership roadblocks. It\u2019s funny, but not too funny. It\u2019ll make you tear up, but you probably won\u2019t need any tissues. It offers moms and dads of America a gentle look at a culture far different from theirs while telling a very human story everyone can relate to.\nThe Farewell focuses on Awkwafina\u2019s Billi, a struggling youngster whose parents moved her to America when she was still in elementary school. She holds on to fond memories of China thanks to a close relationship with her grandmother. Unfortunately, news arrives that this grandmother is dying of advanced lung cancer. Her family orchestrates a wedding as an excuse for them all get back together and see her one more time before she dies. All without telling her what they\u2019re up to or that she\u2019s even sick. In fact, Billi isn\u2019t invited out of fear she\u2019ll show her concern and sorrow on her face and ruin the charade.\nBut she comes anyway. Awkwafina is amazing in everything, but she\u2019s especially good here in a lead role. It\u2019s all pretty understated drama with little beats of comedy here and there. Much of the role\u2019s challenge is nonverbally communicating the conflict her character feels over lying to her grandmother and her desire to acquiesce to her family\u2019s wish to keep that lie going.\nAs Billi\u2019s a product of two different cultures, the movie confronts its themes through this conflict. The American side of her thinks as an individual, which means absolving herself of the lie's guilt. The Chinese side of her understands thinking as a collective and experiencing the burden of that guilt on her grandmother\u2019s behalf.\nHer parents are also basically Americans as well. And his brother\u2019s family has moved to Japan. We see this conflict most with Awkwafina, but she is not the only one to struggle with it. And as good as Awkwafina is in the film, it only works because of the incredible supporting cast. We follow a family of about ten people. Due to sharp writing and casting, they all have identifiable personalities; by the end of the movie, it feels like we know them and feel the story weighing upon all their shoulders together.\nThis is why The Farewell is such a perfect family movie, one I suspect can be appreciated in any culture. It\u2019s usually awkward to meet up with extended family members we haven\u2019t seen in a while, but with some united goal the dynamics change a bit, which is the space The Farewell occupies. There is bickering, but it seems less negative and dramatic when it\u2019s in service of a shared purpose.\nThe Farewell is an ideal feel-good movie. But that\u2019s all it is, so watch out for the hype it\u2019s currently enjoying. People will probably talk a lot about the film when it finally comes out. Your parents will ask if you\u2019ve seen it. And what the heck, if you\u2019re close by, you should probably take them out to catch it followed by a nice, warm meal. It\u2019s not exactly common for a movie that serves this purpose to be so good. Just imagine all the 2018 Thanksgivings that ended with Bohemian Rhapsody.",

        "raw_content": "Reading: Zero Edge Educates China Republic Macau on Blockchain Gambling\nZero Edge is taking the revolution in online gambling worldwide with their latest event to be held in one of the top hotels in Macau, China. The event, which is set to run until the 21st of February 2018, is sure to be an eye-opener for the Asian gambling market, introducing (among other things) the benefits of blockchain based casinos.\nLeading experts in online gambling as well as cryptocurrency combine forces in the inspirational seminar on how blockchain is going to impact online gambling industry. The cream of the crop in Asian gambling, including top level managers and other high-level executives within the industry will learn all about how the new cryptocurrency casinos will operate. This includes learning about the ever-expanding network of online casinos that will be utilizing Zerocoin cryptocurrency tokens in order to offer 0% house edge casino games to the masses.\nZero Edge & Blockchain Create a Buzz in the Gambling Industry!\nFresh from successful showcase events held in Cyprus, Kiev, Abu Dhabi and Dubai, the Blockchain event rolls into Macau. The events leading up to Macau have shown time and again how vital a shakeup in the online casino industry really is. The concept that Zero Edge is bringing to the online casino industry is not only revolutionary, it is long overdue!\n\u201cWe have already received a lot of interest and good feedback from the industry professionals. It is only natural that we want our community to grow even bigger and for that reason, we are organizing an event to promote our project in Asia and grow our presence there. We also want to educate people about the advantages of the blockchain technology and its possible applications in the gambling industry for making it more efficient and customer-oriented\u201d explained Adrian Casey CEO at ZeroEdge.Bet\nEssentially, Zero Edge Casino is a network of online casinos that offer players the chance to play top casino games including roulette, blackjack, video poker, and slots, all with a guaranteed 0% house edge. This means that, unlike traditional online casinos where they enjoy an advantage over the players of up to 10%, gamblers at Zero Edge casinos will actually have a truly fair shot at winning.\nThe concept has already taken Europe and the Middle East by storm and is set to do the same for Asian online gambling. Essentially, Zero Edge is turning the industry on its head by introducing a different way for the casino to make a profit, which doesn\u2019t exploit the customer, but instead focuses on the increasing value of digital assets through wider adoption and utility.\nIf you happen to be in Macau over February, you can enjoy the opportunity to learn about the Zero Edge online casino model in-depth and first hand. The Zero Edge team will be presenting their revolutionary model to an eager Asian gambling public, where casino gambling is the number one pastime. The event will be held in one of Macau\u2019s leading luxury hotels and is certainly not to be missed.\nThis is also the perfect opportunity to learn about the pre-ICO or Initial Coin Offering which is set to start on the 28th of February 2018, closing out on the 15th of March 2018. During the Zerocoin pre-ICO, Zero Edge is presenting a no soft cap, while the hard cap is initially set at 1500 ETH. https://tokensale.zeroedge.bet.",

Well, I was a little skeptical at first too. Until I started doing research and saw the results. This exercise, being called \u201cSuperbrain Yoga\u201d is meant to pump up cell and neuro activity in the brain, and it seems to be working amazingly.\nImproved brain function has been seen in the elderly, those with autism, Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Down Syndrome, Alzheimer\u2019s, or other development challenges. It\u2019s even helped those who are just \u201cfoggy\u201d sometimes and those who have a problem with short-term memory.\nhttps://blackdoctor.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Superbrain-Yoga.mp4\nBased on the research of Dr. Joie P. Jones of the Dept. of Radiological Sciences at the University of California, the exercise works using the body\u2019s energy centres which absorb, digest, and distribute energy to different parts of the body. These primary energy centres are actually major acupuncture points. Acupressure energy points for the brain, eyes, forehead, mouth, ovaries, parotid, temples, and testes congregate around the area of the ear affected by pressure from the exercise. In addition, the finger pads used in the exercise stimulate neuropathways into the brain by activating acupuncture points on the earlobes. According to Dr. Jones, after doing the exercise, an EEG scan shows the right and left hemispheres of the brain have synchronized.\nWhen done correctly, the Superbrain Yoga exercise helps the energy trapped in the lower energy centres move up through the physical body\u2019s other major centres. As the energy travels upwards, it passes through the practitioner\u2019s heart centre and fills it with feelings of calm and inner peace. When the energy moves up further into the throat and beyond, the practitioner\u2019s intelligence and creativity are improved. Other benefits include regulation of the sex drive, which is especially important for teenagers.\n(Super brain yoga or thoppukaranam in Indian culture)\nHere\u2019s how to do it (7 steps):\n1. Face East. For the elderly, face North.\n2. Remove any jewelry and connect your tongue to the roof of your mouth. Leave it there throughout the exercise.\n3. Take your left hand, cross your upper body to take hold of your right earlobe with thumb and forefinger. Make sure that the thumb is in front.",

        "raw_content": "My early metrics book, Controlling Software Projects: Management, Measurement, and Estimation (Prentice Hall/Yourdon Press, 1982) , played a role in the way many budding software engineers quantified work and planned their projects. [\u2026] The book\u2019s most quoted line is its first sentence: \u201cYou can\u2019t control what you can\u2019t measure.\u201d This line contains a real truth, but I\u2019ve become increasingly uncomfortable with my use of it.\nImplicit in the quote (and indeed in the book\u2019s title) is that control is an important aspect, maybe the most important, of any software project. But it isn\u2019t. Many projects have proceeded without much control but managed to produce wonderful products such as Google Earth or Wikipedia.\nTo understand control\u2019s real role, you need to distinguish between two drastically different kinds of projects:\nProject A will eventually cost about a million dollars and produce value of around $1.1 million.\nProject B will eventually cost about a million dollars and produce value of more than $50 million.\nWhat\u2019s immediately apparent is that control is really important for Project A but almost not at all important for Project B. This leads us to the odd conclusion that strict control is something that matters a lot on relatively useless projects and much less on useful projects. It suggests that the more you focus on control, the more likely you\u2019re working on a project that\u2019s striving to deliver something of relatively minor value.\n\u2014 Tom DeMarco via plasmasturm.org, which is consistently the most Daoist programming link blog I subscribe to.\nSource: www2.computer.org",

        "raw_content": "The UNSGs Report on 2030 Follow Up\nReport of the Secretary-General on critical milestones towards coherent, efficient and inclusive follow-up and review at the global level\nExplicit links made by targets among SDG areas By David Le Blanc UNDSD from upcoming book The Water, Food, Energy and Climate Nexus: Challenges and an Agenda for Action\n(edited by Felix Dodds and Jamie Bartram Routledge May 2016)\nThis is one of the most anticipated reports from the Secretary General in recent years. The reality is the report could never be able to address what everyone wanted to see as the views were very different. I commend those that worked on the report and it will offer a very important starting point for a conversation and a reform process that will be vital if the 2030 Agenda is to be implemented.\nI am someone who would have liked to see an even more disruptive report. I say disruptive because if the agenda 2030 is going to be transformative then the system needs enormous change.\nI don\u2019t necessarily like to use the phrase but it seems right here the UN needs to be \u2018fit for purpose\u2019. I would add this ALSO requires governments to do their work differently and for that matter stakeholders as well.\nFor those who did not read my blog on the UNGA 5th Committee - on financing the post 2030 agenda within the UN - I would just recall the salient points here for you to consider in light of what this report is asking the system to do.\nFirst a zero budget for this work was presented to the 5th committee in November but thanks to G77 this was rejected. A kind view of this is that the people developing the UN budget were not talking to the people engaged in the 2030 process at all. A less kind view is that certain developed countries lobbied behind the scene to have this happen. The revised budget, I understand after consultation with the UN System on what it would actually cost to reorganize around this agenda was a budget of $25 million. This was then heavily reduced, before it even appeared before the 5th committee, by the same developed governments who\u2019s Heads of State had made such eloquent speeches on implementing the 2030 agenda only 3 months before.\nAt last a budget of $15 million came before the 5th Committee in December which was reduced to $7.5 million in negotiations. The reduction saw a lot taken out of the regional commission\u2019s budget \u2013 clearly they will not be doing anything new to implement the 2030 agenda at the regional level. The Division on Sustainable Development, the Financing for Development Office and bodies such as UNCTAD. Again clearly none of these are at the center of this new transformational agenda. For those who don\u2019t understand British humor (usually Americans) this is me being sarcastic.\nI understand this report was gone through with a toothpick to check that there were no places where it implied new funding. Perhaps member states might want to reflect on that.\nI will do a number of blogs on this report so expect more comments in the coming weeks. I will leave the issue of stakeholders in particular to another blog.\nThe compromise reached at Rio+20 in closing down the Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD), replacing it by the High Level Political Forum, before the agreement of what the 2030 agenda would be, may need to be revisited in the next ten years.\nThe stronger proposal for replacing the CSD was with a Council of the General Assembly which would have required some form of review and merging elements of the GA Committees 2 and 3. This always seemed to me to represent a more effective body than the HLPF as we have it now. The HLPF that is sometimes in ECOSOC and sometimes in the GA. One that doesn\u2019t have a dedicated bureau to its work may turn out to be less effective than had been hoped for. Just remember that the negotiators of the HLPF did not know what the 2030 agenda would be and even if the HLPF would be the body to review it. It is still early days for the HLPF and the reality is that if it succeeds it will be because member states, the UN Family and stakeholders invest strong political support for it (see Friends of Governancefor Sustainable Development paper).\nIll address the work programme and other aspects of the HLPF at the end of the blog.\nECOSOC Commissions\nIt is clear from the report of the intent to utilize the ECOSOC Commissions that have a particular relevance to particular goals and targets. These Commissions should revise their work programme once the HLPF work programme has been agreed. They are also requested to review their ability to convene and engage with key actors relevant to their contributions to the 2030 Agenda, including scientists, local governments, business, and representatives of the most vulnerable people, as has been done by the Committee on World Food Security. For some bodies this will be a departure from normal practice and will advance stakeholder engagement in those bodies. If they do it. If they don\u2019t then the pressure of the whole process should persuade them.\nIt seems to me from the report that whatever comes out of those Commission will still have to go to ECOSCO before going to the HLPF. This is an example of the problem that has been created by the HLPF being a hybrid body.\nThe report suggests a stronger relationship between ECOSOC and its interaction with the Peacebuilding Commission and utilize its Operational or Humanitarian segments to review development, peace and humanitarian issues as a nexus. The Peacebuilding Commission and the Human Rights Council report to the UNGA and this might be an example of where the HLPF being a hybrid body is an advantage.\nUN Agencies and Programmes\nECOSOC doesn\u2019t have a control over the work programmes of the governing bodies of UNESCO, UNEP, UNDP, WHO, FAO etc. It will then it will be an early example of whether governments are seeing this as a transformational agenda in ensuring that those bodies work programmes also dovetail into the HLPF. That also applies to the Breton Woods intuitions of the World Bank and the IMF. As these are the same member states in the governing bodies of all these organizations.\nAddis Follow up and links to the HLPF\nOne of the problems about the AAAA and the 2030 Agenda is that they were not better linked together. The outcome is ECOSOC also has critical responsibilities in the follow-up to the Addis Ababa Conference on Financing for Development through the new FFD Forum, the Multistakeholder Forum on Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) and the, all of which inform the discussions of goal 17 at the HLPF. There is troubling corridor discussions on if the new FFD Forum should be 3 or 5 days. You can imagine which countries want 3 and which want 5. I am very much in favor of 5 \u2013 I would have just used the five to deal with the 2030 means of implementation discussion and put the follow up too Monterrey somewhere else.\nI do like one of the suggestions that the \u201cDialogue with Executive Secretaries of Regional Commissions\u201d and a \u201cHigh-level Dialogue with the Heads of Financial and Trade Institutions\u201d, which are held during the ECOSOC High Level Segment (HLS), moving to become part of the HLPF discussions on regional reviews and on Means of Implementation.\nAgain of the reasons why the CSD failed in its second ten years is development ministries stopped coming. In the first ten years of the CCSD there was always a week on Means of Implementation in the CSD and so development ministries attended and were active participants at a high level in the CSD (1993-2002)\nSo what should the Regional Commissions and other regional bodies do?\nThe report identifies a number of activities that the regional level might play an important role. This isn\u2019t helped by the fact of member states reducing the core budget contribution.\nThe first is on regional reviews. I am a huge fan of this the idea of peer leaning working with countries often at the same or similar levels of development there can be very relevant lessons learnt and sharing of good practice as well as early indications of gaps and the development of partnerships. The African Peer Group Review Mechanism (see Friends of Governance for Sustainable Development paper) is a good example of what already exists and can be built on. A common format of reporting will need to be developed so that those lessons can be conveyed to the HLPF. The lack of proper instructions to Regional Commissions during the CSD (2003-2012) provided to be a real problem (read Stakeholder Forum report on the Energy cycle).\nWhat the report and the 2030 Agenda misses is the call for governments to produce their National SDG Strategies. These should be a first step in any countries implementation of the 2030 agenda. The development of these should be done with stakeholders in their countries. In around a third of the member states of the UN there are still in existence National Councils or Commissions on Sustainable Development (see Friends of Governance for SustainableDevelopment paper). These should play a role and governments may want to establish ones where they do not exist to help ensure that the 2030 agenda is not only inclusive but also jointly owned in its implementation by all stakeholders. The 2030 agenda also called for a role for parliaments and any national report should also be reviewed by parliaments and their committee structure (see Friends ofGovernance for Sustainable Development paper). This should then ensure that gaps in legislation can be addressed and the executive held accountable.\nThe High Level Political Forum work programme\nThis is probably the most difficult issue to get right and I wish I had a good suggestion to make but I don\u2019t.\nWhat is different about this discussion compared to the ones on the work programme for the CSD in 1993, 1997 and 2003 is that it is really trying to address the interlinkages between the goals and targets.\nThe four year cycle in effect means there are only three years when the focused work would be undertaken before Heads of State come back together to review progress \u2013 every fourth year. It may seem a lot to deal with 17 goals in three years but the CSD did 40 chapters in 4 years it did have 4 weeks to do that in though in the period 1993-2001.\nWith so much of the system not yet in place I wonder if we should not start the process is earnest at the HLPF Heads of State meeting in 2019 and use the HLPFs between now and then for developing the norms and utilizing dialogues on the way forward.\nThe report suggests that inputs to HLPF might follow a simple template covering:\n(i) an assessment of areas of progress and setback at the global level;\n(ii) the identification of areas requiring urgent attention;\n(iii) valuable lessons learned;\n(iv) emerging issues;\n(v) areas where political guidance by the HLPF is required; and\n(vi) policy recommendations and tools to accelerate progress.\nThe HLPF itself would:\n(i) Review of overall progress, with the review of the SDG progress report, National Reviews, and Regional Reviews;\n(ii) Review of progress in specific areas, with thematic review on the Theme and In-depth Reviews of a subset of SDGs;\n(iii) Review of SDG 17 and other inputs on the implementation of the AAAA; and\n(iv) new and emerging issues and looking to the long term.\nOne significant difference from the CSD 2003-2011 is the suggestion that emerging issues can be part of the HLPF. This is important because a lot will happen over the next 15 years and the HLPF should be tasked to address any of those that impact on the 2030 agenda or need to be included.\nThe second significant issue that is different from the CSD is the recognition that the HLPF needs to address the interlinkages between the goals and targets. The 2030 Agenda decided that the HLPF will carry out thematic reviews of progress on \u201cthe SDGs including cross-cutting issues\u201d. The report suggested various options for reviewing the SDGs.\nA first option is, in any given year, to have a comprehensive review of all the SDGs through the lens of the theme. Such an option will help examine the linkages and synergies among the goals and targets. This however may restrict the depth of the treatment of the SDGs during the HLPF, given the number of meeting days.\nAs a second option, the HLPF could look not only at all 17 goals through the lens of the theme for that year, but also, in addition, carry out an in-depth Goal by Goal review of a few SDGs.\nAlthough more difficult the second option seems to me to have more merit. It ensures both a review of each Goal over the three year period as well as looking at theme through a cross sectorial approach. This will force UN bodies, government departments and stakeholders to think more coherently and not just through sector lens.\nIt is critical that SDG17 is looked at each year. I would have preferred as those who have read my blog before I think much more could and should have been done about mainstreaming SDG 17 under each goal. Not as much as a goal but as a section on means of implementation. Perhaps in the review the parts of the FfD process that address a relevant goal should also be considered there after initial discussion in the FFD Forum.\nThe report makes some suggestions on what the cross sector issues might be: \u201cGovernance for sustainable development: a means and an end\u201d; \u201cempowering women and girls for sustainable development\u201d; \u201cintegrating sustainable development into plans and processes\u201d: \u201cGiving effect to the 2030 Agenda; eradication of poverty in all its form and dimensions\u201d; \u201cintegration of the three dimensions of sustainable development\u201d; \u201cstrengthening and renewal of the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development\u201d; \u201cscience and technology and productive diversification for sustainable development\u201d; and \u201ccrosscutting enablers of sustainable development: culture and the rule of law\u201d.\nThe other suggestion was organizing the work programme around People, Planet, Prosperity, Peace and Partnerships as contained in the 2030 Agenda.\nOf the two I think the second working around the 5 P\u2019s would be the best its clearly in the agenda 2030 and would ensure I think that some of the cross cutting themes in option 1 are dealt with more often.\nUN reorganization\nOnce the changes have been agreed by member states then the Secretary General should look at the issue of reorganization with the secretariat. Perhaps breaking up UNDESA to two Departments one dealing with the 2030 agenda the other less related issues. After all it used to by three Departments up until 1997 when the Department for Policy Coordination and Sustainable Development, the Department for Development Support and Management Services and the Department for Economic and Social Information and Policy Analysis were merged to form the Department of Economic and Social Affairs.\nI remember discussing with former UNDSD Director Tariq Banuri what could have been done different in the old CSD. He came up with an idea I think is worth considering. He suggested perhaps that Agenda 21 should have been a living document. That when we reviewed it we added or deleted from the original document so that it was very clear what was being implemented. Perhaps the 2030 Agenda should also be considered this way.\nAs I said earlier in the blog I will return to the issue of stakeholders in another blog in the coming week. The general thrust of the report is in the right direction and clearly strengthens the stakeholder discourse and I would suggest that those promoting the civil society discourse consider how they will interface through the HLPF. As there is no civil society seat but an NGO one. I\u2019ve again blogged on this issue and will continue to do so this year a stakeholder discourse opens space a civil society discourses closes space.\nfelix dodds SDgs Transforming Our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development UN secretary general Report\nLanre January 26, 2016 at 2:26 AM\nInteresting. However, your comments like the Draft SG Report itself focus on What questions instead of focus on How questions.\nShame that budget of $25 million was slashed to $7.5 million. This is bad. That entire UN less WBG and IMF Budget is about Budget of New York is Worse. There is no reason, if there is enlightened self interest, why the UN should not be adequately funded and Empowered to achieve more with such fund.\nIt will be recalled that the Draft SG Report on Follow Up and Review Summary suggested rightly that it would focus on answer to How questions but the content focus on answer to What questions. This is regrettable and should be corrected without delay before release of Final SG Report on Follow Up and Review in 6 UN Official Languages.\nIt will be recalled further that the SG Global Consultation on How report is yet to be released. It was to have been released 15 December 2015. What was released on 3 different dates last year was Synthesis Report on contributions of respondents on Member States, UN System and NGO sides that avoided or evaded inclusion of points made by the only respondent from any of the 3 sides that actually answered How questions - ISPE / EAG International Society for Poverty Elimination / Economic Alliance Group. We understand that the Draft SG Global Consultation on How report will be released in January 2016. It is our hope that this Draft Report will indeed answer How questions and will be relaesed in 6 UN Official Languages.\nIt is clear that without correct answer to How, Who does What, Who Pays for What, Sanctions and Enforcement questions, it will be a Mirage seeking to achieve AAAA, SDG, COP21 Outcome, Agenda 21 Vision Ambitions. Can our World afford ultimate catastrophic consequences of failure to achieve Global Goals in each of 193 Member States?\nIn sum, it would be more helpful, if you devote your energy in ways that help shift 193 Member States, UN System including WBG and IMF and CSOs'/NGOs' focus away from Talking and Thinking towards focus on Action and Accomplishment.\nDear Lanre\nThis is the report the UN has produced due to the input from the member states and the UN system and stakeholders there is no other report being produced. warmest regards felix",

        "raw_content": "Wannabes, posers, and the real deal.\nThis is something that\u2019s been nagging at me a little bit\u2013have you ever noticed that a hit book will come out, and then there comes a slew of wannabes? For example, when the Harry Potter series was published, and J.K. Rowling made more money than the Queen, publishers would have sold their own mothers to publish titles that were very similar genres and plots. Twilight has bitten millions of readers, and now anyone with a keyboard is dreaming up other traditional monsters to transform into anti-heroes with ripped abs and swooning heroines.\nWell, maybe that\u2019s not such a bad thing. Like plots, readers are, more or less, individuals. And even in a vat of vanilla ice cream, there are nuances to be found. (There\u2019s French vanilla, homemade, Mexican vanilla, and birthday cake vanilla.) So, just because one kind of vanilla isn\u2019t to your liking, perhaps another will be. And maybe you can have your cake and eat it, too\u2013meaning, you can find novels that entertain, and add a little more to your life than before you read.\nNo matter what anyone tries to convince me otherwise, I still go back to Harry. I will defend the Potter series\u2013no amount of sparkling vampires can compare. Sorry, Ms. Meyer\u2013I know you\u2019re secure enough in your belief in your talents and your bank account to take a little criticism. But it\u2019s a flick of the wrist and a know-it-all bookworm witch, and jester/joker twins who enchant me.\nHowever, if you really want to go back to some authors who influenced the fantasy genre the most, you\u2019ll have to go to the kings: Tolkien and Lewis. My grandmother was a fan of CS Lewis, but I never really delved into his works as much as I should; but Tolkien\u2026oh yeah. The Hobbit, and the Lord of the Rings trilogy was my first taste of being transported to another time and place, completely and wholly, in my mind.\nFrom the Writer\u2019s Almanac, January 3, 2010:\nIt\u2019s the birthday of J.R.R. Tolkien, (books by this author) born John Ronald Reuel Tolkien in Bloemfontein, South Africa (1892). His father, a banker, had moved to South Africa for work, but he died when Tolkien was four years old, and his mother moved the family back to England. They lived in a rural village outside the city of Birmingham. Train tracks went right beyond their house and young Tolkien was drawn to the Welsh names on the sides of coal cars, names like Nantyglo and Senghenydd. And his mom tutored him in Latin, and as a young child he was fascinated by the way that language worked. When he was eight years old, his mom converted to Catholicism, and her family was so upset that they disowned her. Now the family, which hadn\u2019t had much money anyway, had even less.\nAnd then, when Tolkien was 12 years old, his mother died from complications of diabetes, and he and his younger brother were put in the care of a Catholic priest. He went to a good school, started inventing his own languages, and formed a literary group called the T.C.B.S., friends who exchanged ideas and critiqued each other\u2019s work. He graduated, got into Oxford. But before he started, he took a summer trip with friends hiking in the Swiss Alps, and much later when he wrote about Bilbo Baggins hiking the Misty Mountains, he used his memory of that summer in the Alps.\nBut as a teenager starting at Oxford, he had no desire to write fantasy novels. Instead, he was interested in language. He studied Classics, Old English, Finnish, Welsh, and the Germanic languages. He went to fight in WWI, spent four months on the Western Front and then got trench fever and was sent home to recover. All but one of his friends from the T.C.B.S. literary group were killed in the war, and to honor them and also to help work through his own awful war experiences, he decided to write down some stories. They were stories about elves and gnomes, but they were not cheery fairy tales \u2014 they were filled with war and violence and trenches dug under battlefields.\nPrevious Myth-of-the-Month Club: Gone fishin' (King of Sharks \u2013 Hawaiian)\nNext Myth-of-the-Month Club: No need to PANic.\ni htink this is a sad story and i also think that no one has to pass for what he pass.\nI think this is a good example how,tolkien graduate when he did not have a mother and a father\nOld Man Parker says:\nJ.R.R. Tolkien changed our culture with his amazingly detailed tales, and created a whole new type of Fantasy literature. The Hobbit is a classic, and my first \u201cReal Book\u201d; the 1st book I ever read. It affected me for the rest of my life. You can tell his books are the work of a master story teller, a work of passion & great love. Epic stuff!\nI just re-read this comment, and appreciate it so much. Thank you.",

        "raw_content": "Dominicans to the Rescue: Saving Souls and Civilization in Iraq\nObviously there is much to be said, and much that is praiseworthy, when someone heroically saves another\u2019s life. People are more important than property, something which all of us need reminding of from time to time. Yet sometimes we can find equally praiseworthy acts of heroism when it comes to rescuing objects that are part of the heritage of all mankind. So for this blog post, I want to take the opportunity to laud the work of my favorite religious order, the Dominicans, who are doing something heroic not only for the care and salvation of souls, but also for preserving civilization, right now, in a very dangerous place and time.\nAs ISIS slashes and burns its way across Iraq, we are right to focus on their human victims, first and foremost. Yet ISIS is not only interested in terrorizing their fellow human beings through violence and intimidation. Rather, they want to show the people of the lands they are conquering, to paraphrase a line from the film \u201cDoctor Zhivago\u201d after the Bolsheviks have killed the Tsar and all of his family, that now, there\u2019s no going back to the way things were. And part of the way ISIS is going about this task is through the destruction of culture and history.\nTo counter that effort, the Order of Preachers, more popularly known as the Dominicans, have been trying to rescue as many ancient Christian texts as they can ahead of the ISIS onslaught. In an interview with France24, Fr. Laurent Lemoine, O.P., described how he has been assisting in Iraq with the preservation of centuries-old manuscripts, currently in the care of Fr. Najeeb Michaeel, O.P., who with the help of his fellow Dominicans threw everything they could into a truck and fled ISIS for the comparative safety of the Kurdish city of Erbil, with only half an hour\u2019s warning.\nFr. Michaeel\u2019s is a name which may be familiar to some of my readers from publications like First Things, where he has been reporting on the experiences of the Dominicans and those to whom they minister. This interview in particular gives some indication of what he and the other friars face, and also why they choose to stay. Their dedication and courage in this regard is an example to all of us who can glibly declare, amidst our relative ease and comforts, that we\u2019re prepared to lay down our lives for our brother, as Christ tells us we must be willing to do. These friars are putting themselves at risk every day, and not only for their fellow Catholics, but for all of those who are fleeing the ISIS terror.\nFor those who understand the importance of history and preserving the heritage of civilization, the work that Fr. Michaeel and the Dominicans are doing is no less important. Without it, the real danger would be the loss of identity and roots for a group of people who have already lost almost everything else they once had. At the same time, the existence of these objects connects them and indeed us to centuries of our forebears in Christianity, in the part of the world where Christianity first arose.\nChristians do not need old objects, like ancestral bones or ancient parchments, to be able to worship God. Yet the Church has always recognized that preserving the past is a way to be more fully aware of the role God has played throughout human history, and the need to respect and honor the traditions and knowledge which others have contributed to the Church as well as to mankind as a whole. Let us hope that one day, these books and the descendents of those who created them will once again be able to find a place of peace and restoration.\nFr. Najeeb Michaeel, O.P., with some of the rescued manuscripts\ncivilization, culture, Iraq\nbooks, Catholic, Church, culture, Dominicans, history, Iraq, ISIS, manuscripts, society\n\u2190 Phone Booth Friday: Telling Super Stories\nA Selfie with Jesus: Religious Art or Political Propaganda? \u2192\nOne thought on \u201cDominicans to the Rescue: Saving Souls and Civilization in Iraq\u201d\n\u201cChristians do not need old objects, like ancestral bones or ancient parchments, to be able to worship God. Yet the Church has always recognized that preserving the past is a way to be more fully aware of the role God has played throughout human history, and the need to respect and honor the traditions and knowledge which others have contributed to the Church as well as to mankind as a whole.\u201d\nOh, the word \u201cneed.\u201d I don\u2019t particularly need a shotgun to protect myself from a home invasion, but it certainly improves my chances of survival and protection from injury over hand to hand combat. In a world where atheists, seculars, other denominations, and now Muslims insist on various misunderstandings as reality; that Jesus was never recognized ad the second Person of the Trinity in the early Church, the Catholic Church was a creation of Constantine in 325 A.D. and wasn\u2019t anything like it is for the first 300 years, there was no historical Jesus but a composite of other characters into a philosopher-prophet, there was always a Muslim middle East (!) and places like Egypt, North Africa, Iraq are naturally Muslim, you need the bedrock of solid historical and archaeological artifacts and touchable, seeable items in your toolbox of defense. Jews have had to often bring up historical artifacts to remind people there really was a systematic holocaust of them by the Nazis when holocaust deniers were active back when camp survivors with forearm i.d. tattoos were still plentiful. In turn we need real items, true, not to convince us to believe, though it helps, but to deal with the doubting outside world and its need for proof that can be held.\nThere was a real, historical St. Peter; his bones are buried in Rome where he was killed. There was a real, historical St. Mark who brought the faith to Egypt, and his head is in a church in Alexandria, with the rest between Cairo and Venice, who recorded Peter\u2019s preaching into the Book of Mark. The real Peter walked with the real Jesus, whose burial shroud is in Turin and whose sudarium is in Orvietto, the Jesus who Peter declared \u201cYou are the Christ, the son of the living God.\u201d Here are the actual papyrus or vellum pages written by this or that church father showing that what we do now can be traced all the way back. Here is the stack of letters by Ignatius of Antioch where he writes of his belief in the concrete reality of the incarnation, cross, and the Eucharist as the Real Presence. (http://catholicexchange.com/martyr-glowing-divine-love) Here are the records of there being a Pontius Pilate. And here are a stack of historical relics showing that Christianity was truly a religion adopted by the people like wildfire until it supplanted the other religions, eastward in the Levant outside of Roman lands and Roman control so no, it wasn\u2019t a Roman government thing.",

        "title": "Manbij False Flag: The Empire Devours Its Own Children - ARY Blogs",
        "raw_content": "Immediately after Donald Trump\u2019s announcement of withdrawal of American troops from Syria on December 19, the Kurdish leadership reportedly threatened to set free hundreds of Islamic State\u2019s prisoners and their family members being held in makeshift prisons in the Kurdish-held areas of Syria.\nSome of those prisoners are foreign fighters and their countries of origin, Western countries in particular, are unwilling to accept them since they lack evidence to prosecute them. Though the Kurds have since backtracked on their statement, it shows the level of frustration shown by the Kurdish leadership regarding President Trump\u2019s abrupt and apparently whimsical decision to pull American forces out of Syria after a telephonic conversation with Turkish President Erdogan on December 14.\nThe next step the Kurdish leadership took was to rush to Paris to hold discussions with French President Emmanuel Macron who has donned the globalist, interventionist cap after the inauguration of isolationist, \u201calt-right\u201d president in the US in January 2017.\nPresident Macron reassured the Kurdish leadership that hundreds of French troops stationed in Syria as a part of global coalition to battle the Islamic State will remain there and take the lead after the withdrawal of 2,000 American troops, though it is unlikely that the French forces will stay in Syria for long once the American forces pull out. Particularly, if we keep the fact in mind that President Macron has been facing the biggest challenge to his presidency in recent months in the form of Yellow Vest protests.\nNotwithstanding, four American soldiers were killed and three wounded in a suicide bombing in Syria\u2019s northern flashpoint town of Manbij on Wednesday. Additionally, ten civilians were also killed and more than a dozen injured in the bombing.\nAlthough Islamic State promptly claimed the responsibility for the attack via its Amaq news agency, the militant group is simply a weapon. The finger that pulled the trigger and created circumstances for the attack to take place is to be blamed for the atrocity.\nReuters reported on Wednesday: \u201cAn explosion hit near a restaurant, targeting the Americans, and there were some forces from the Manbij Military Council with them.\u201d The report further adds: \u201cThe Manbij Military Council militia has controlled the town since the US-backed Kurdish-led forces took it from Islamic State in 2016. It is located near areas held by Russian-backed Syrian government forces and by anti-Assad fighters backed by Turkey.\u201d\nIt bears mentioning that the so-called \u201cSyrian Democratic Forces\u201d (SDF) are nothing more than Kurdish militias with a symbolic presence of mercenary Arab tribesmen in order to make SDF appear more representative and inclusive in outlook. The Manbij Military Council, as mentioned in the Reuters report, is comprised of mercenary Arab units of the Kurdish-led SDF.\nThus, it is quite easy for the fighters of the rest of militant groups, including the Islamic State, battling the government in Syria to infiltrate the Arab-led units of the Syrian Democratic Forces, specifically the Manbij Military Council.\nAnd since the Syrian Kurds are opposed to the Trump administration\u2019s policy of withdrawal of American troops from Syria, therefore it is quite likely that the Kurdish-led SDF did not maintain the level of vigilance necessary for keeping the evacuating American soldiers out of the harm\u2019s way. The US soldiers mingling with the Arab-led units of SDF in a public restaurant on a busy street in Manbij appears to be one such incidents of costly negligence that claimed precious lives.\nRegarding the Islamic State\u2019s claim of responsibility for the suicide bombing, it has a history of making dubious claims for grandstanding and for attracting international attention in order to generate funds and attract potential extremists to its transnational network of terrorists. It even claimed the responsibility for the Las Vegas attack in October 2017, which was perpetrated by Stephen Paddock who killed 58 people in cold blood and left hundreds injured at a concert at Mandalay Bay.\nSince the Ghouta chemical weapons attack in August 2013, numerous false flag attacks have been staged in Syria by the militants and their regional and global patrons in order to cross then-President Obama\u2019s purported \u201cRed Line in Syria\u201d \u2013 that Washington would not tolerate a chemical weapons attack against the Syrian opposition \u2013 in order to enforce an American no-fly zone over Syria.\nThe suicide bombing in Manbij on Wednesday that targeted evacuating American soldiers appears to be one such false flag attack that was either perpetrated by the Kurds themselves or by one of myriad militant outfits battling the government in Damascus, which are on the payroll of their regional and global patrons, in order to impede or possibly overturn the Syria exit strategy of the Trump administration by keeping the bogey of the Islamic State alive.\nFact of the matter is that Islamic State has been comprehensively defeated as it does not hold any territory in Syria and Iraq now. As far as its capability to wage guerilla warfare is concerned, Washington could not possibly hope to degrade it even if American forces remained stationed in Syria and Iraq for another decade.\nRemember that despite fighting America\u2019s longest seventeen-year war in Afghanistan, according to a recent report by the US Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR), the US-backed Afghan government only controls 55% of Afghanistan\u2019s territory. It\u2019s worth noting that SIGAR is a US-based governmental agency that often inflates figures.\nFactually, the government\u2019s writ does not extend beyond a third of Afghanistan. In many cases, the Afghanistan government simply controls district-centers of provinces and outlying rural areas are either controlled by the Taliban or are contested between the militants and the government.\nIt\u2019s worth pointing out that the distinction between hardliner militants and purported \u201cmoderate rebels\u201d in Syria is more illusory than real. Before it turned rogue and overran Mosul in Iraq in June 2014, Islamic State used to be an integral part of the Syrian opposition and enjoyed close ideological and operational ties with other militant groups in Syria.\nBesides, how could heavily armed militants in a sectarian war between militants and government be possibly labeled as \u201cmoderate rebels\u201d with secular and nationalist ambitions? Fact of the matter is that all the militant groups operating in Syria are extremists who regard Shi\u2019a Muslims as apostates.\nThus, though practically impossible, even if Washington does eliminate all Islamic State militants from Syria, what would it do with myriads of other militant outfits in Syria, particularly with tens of thousands of al-Nusra Front militants who have carved out a new sanctuary in Syria\u2019s northwestern Idlib governorate since last year?\nThe only practical solution to the conundrum is to withdraw all American troops from Syria and let Damascus establish writ of the state over all of Syria in order to eliminate all militant groups from Syria, including the Islamic State, though the Zionist lobbies in Washington might have objections to strengthening the hands of Iran and Russia in Syria.\nAfter eight years of utter devastation and bloodletting, a consensus has emerged among all belligerents of the Syrian war to de-escalate the conflict, except for Israel which wants to further escalate the conflict because it has been the only beneficiary of the carnage in Syria.\nWashington\u2019s interest in the Syrian proxy war was mainly about ensuring Israel\u2019s regional security. The United States Defense Intelligence Agency\u2019s declassified report of 2012 clearly spelled out the imminent rise of a Salafist principality in northeastern Syria \u2013 in Raqqa and Deir al-Zor which were occupied by the Islamic State until October 2017 \u2013 in the event of an outbreak of a sectarian war in Syria.\nUnder pressure from the Zionist lobby in Washington, however, the former Obama administration deliberately suppressed the report and also overlooked the view in general that a proxy war in Syria would give birth to radical militants.\nThe hawks in Washington were fully aware of the consequences of their actions in Syria, but they kept pursuing the ill-fated policy of nurturing militants in the training camps located in Syria\u2019s border regions with Turkey and Jordan in order to weaken the anti-Zionist Syrian government.\nThe single biggest threat to Israel\u2019s regional security was posed by the Shi\u2019a resistance axis, which is comprised of Tehran, Damascus and their Lebanon-based surrogate, Hezbollah. During the course of 2006 Lebanon War, Hezbollah fired hundreds of rockets into northern Israel and Israel\u2019s defense community realized for the first time the nature of threat that Hezbollah and its patrons posed to Israel\u2019s regional security.\nThose were only unguided rockets but it was a wakeup call for Israel\u2019s military strategists that what will happen if Iran passed the guided missile technology to Hezbollah whose area of operations lies very close to the northern borders of Israel.\nThus, the Zionist lobbies in Washington literally coerced then-President Obama to coordinate a proxy war against Damascus and its Lebanon-based surrogate Hezbollah in the wake of the \u201cArab Spring\u201d protests of 2011 in Syria in order to dismantle the Iranian resistance axis against Israel.\nOver the years, Israel not only provided medical aid and material support to militant groups battling Damascus \u2013 particularly to various factions of the Free Syria Army (FSA) and al-Qaeda\u2019s Syrian affiliate al-Nusra Front in Daraa and Quneitra bordering the Israel-occupied Golan Heights \u2013 but Israel\u2019s air force virtually played the role of air force of Syrian militants and conducted hundreds of airstrikes in Syria during the eight-year conflict.\nIn an interview to New York Times on January 11, Israel\u2019s outgoing Chief of Staff Lt. General Gadi Eisenkot confessed that the Netanyahu government approved his shift in strategy in January 2017 to step up airstrikes in Syria. Consequently, more than 200 Israeli airstrikes were launched against the Syrian targets in 2017 and 2018, as revealed by the Israeli Intelligence Minister Israel Katz in September last year.\nIn 2018 alone, Israel\u2019s air force dropped 2,000 bombs in Syria. The purpose of Israeli airstrikes in Syria has been to degrade Iran\u2019s guided missile technology provided to Damascus and Hezbollah, which poses an existential threat to Israel\u2019s regional security.\nThough after Russia provided S-300 missile system to the Syrian military after a Russian surveillance plane was shot down in Syria on September 18, killing 15 Russians onboard, Israel has conducted only a couple of airstrikes in Syria, one on the Christmas Day in which Israeli F-16 fighter jets took cover of civilian airliners flying to Damascus and Beirut airports. The purpose of the airstrike was to locate the precise location of the S-300 air defense system installed in Syria by Russia in order to target it on a later date, or to keep the Israeli air force out of its reach.",

        "title": "3 trends shaping the energy industry today \u2013 DXC Blogs",
        "raw_content": "3 trends shaping the energy industry today\nJune 30, 2016 by Fueling Innovation 2 Comments\nThe energy industry operates in a challenging environment. Lower fuel prices, excess supply and an accelerating demand for efficiency and innovation has put market leaders at a crossroads. Current business practices are clearly insufficient, yet the pace of change makes many companies hesitant to commit to new strategies.\nIn my view, there are three macro trends presenting challenges to the industry: the drive to digital; the raised expectations of empowered and increasingly mobile customers; and the constant push for more environmentally friendly and efficient sources of energy.\n1. Drive to Digital\nDigitisation is, of course, a broad trend affecting every industry. The changes it drives are on par with the Industrial Revolution of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, an idea my colleague has explored.\nFor energy companies, digitisation affects both the business and the underlying infrastructure.\nIncreasingly, applications, rather than mechanical systems, are directing and managing the generation and distribution of energy. At the same time, infrastructure is getting more intelligent, giving rise to terms such as Smart Grid.\nThis infrastructure produces far more data related to how, where and when energy is consumed, allowing for companies to drive business insights. The challenge now is in gathering, analysing and leveraging all of that data for better decisions. Extracting value from data has become as important as extracting energy from raw materials.\nCustomers today have high expectations that don\u2019t recognise or respect business verticals. When dealing with energy or utility companies, they expect the same type of immediate, omnichannel service as they get when dealing with a Google or Amazon. They want to manage bills online; they want apps that add convenience and save them time and they want it now.\nBut energy is not Amazon. The industry is heavily regulated and often has constraints \u2013 such as critical national infrastructure mandates \u2013 that other industries do not bear. It has a reputation for being slow to innovate in part because change does not always come easy in this regulated environment.\nBut as consumer demands shift, it\u2019s clear big changes are needed, both in the reality of business operations and in customer interactions. And those \u201ccustomers\u201d include municipalities looking to build the \u201csmart cities\u201d of tomorrow.\nThe need to become more efficient, more \u201cgreen,\u201d is not going away \u2013 and that\u2019s a good thing. Driven by factors such as global urbanisation, public sentiment and policy, energy companies must constantly be on the lookout to conserve non-renewables and optimise their business processes.\nThere is a cultural element to this change, as well as technological. Energy companies need to foster a culture that inspires innovation. Digital approaches to IT can help by giving employees the tools to collaborate, communicate and develop new products quickly. But leadership also plays a role.\nWhile these three macro trends have caused disruption in many industries, it\u2019s energy\u2019s turn to deal with the challenges. Best practices are emerging. And partners are out there to help map the way to enterprise-level transformation.\nIn a series of blog posts to come, our energy experts will offer opinions, insights and real-world examples of how energy companies can address these challenges and gain market advantage. Follow along, and offer your own thoughts here and in social media.\nKavi Pelpola is an Energy Industry CTO at CSC.\nAsset management: The primary asset\nFiled Under: Digital Transformation, Energy Tagged With: alternative energy, customer expectations, digitization, Energy, energy industry, smart grid, Sustainability\n\u00ab How interns can start networking\nMobile security: What you need to know (and do) \u00bb\nPetroEdge Asia says:\nThanks for the info! The transition towards more renewable energy and diversified supplies is creating opportunities and challenges for the security of the global energy infrastructure.\nThe information they provided on how energy is consumed and how that value shows in what we use the data is great. I never thought about how much technology really affects the energy industry until now. I need to remember this next time I turn on the lights at home.",

NBC News covered the recent release of Chelsea Manning after Obama grants Clemency. Manning had only served seven of her 35-year sentence for leaking a quarter million military files.\nManning worked as an intelligence analyst in Iraq and leaked the files to show the impact that war has on civilians. She did not think that releasing the files would not harm the United States or its security. Others say that it laid out some of the nation\u2019s highest classified secrets and put other information in danger.\nIt is not surprising that Obama sympathized for Manning since she had come out as a transgender the day after her sentencing. The Left does not seem to be upset with a traitor being released from prison but sure cannot stand that President Trump shared information with Russia.

Legendary conquerors soon follow: first Alexander the Great, then, much later, the White Huns (who would bind the heads of their children to make their appearance in battle more frightening) and Genghis Khan. In between are the Ancient Greeks, whose reach spread east to the Pass; and tribes of nomads and barbarians whose civilizations, Paddy Docherty shows, were much more sophisticated than commonly supposed.\nHere also are mountain warriors and religious visionaries - around the Pass arose three of the great world religions, Buddhism, Sikhism and Islam - as well as artists, poets and scientists.\nIn more recent times, the British army suffered its infamous retreat from Kabul in 1842. The Khyber region is still largely lawless today, a place of gunsmiths and drug markets and the hideout of terrorists. Docherty's own travels in this true frontier - and the continuing presence of US and British troops in Afghanistan - bring the story into the twenty-first century.\nThe Khyber Pass: A History of Empire and Invasion\nPaddy Docherty, a Persian speaker, studied at Brasenose College, Oxford.

        "raw_content": "Mayor McGinn supports OED\u2019s mobile food workshops\n(From Mayor McGinn\u2019s blog)\nFour months ago, the Seattle City Council, led by Sally Clark, voted unanimously to pass Mayor McGinn\u2019s proposal to open up more opportunities for mobile food businesses. The resulting legislation made significant changes to the way street food businesses are regulated in the City, with the intention of creating more jobs, new opportunities for entrepreneurship and a more vibrant street life with expanded eating options for Seattle\u2019s neighborhoods. In order to make sure that those who are interested in starting a mobile food business have all the necesary tools to take advantage of the new climate, Mayor McGinn directed city departments to hold a series of workshops to connect those entrepreneurs with the departments who issue the relevant permits.\nMonday evening, the Office of Economic Development held the second of those workshops, in partnership with Washington CASH, an organization that provides education, support, and access to resources for aspiring entrepreneurs. The meeting was held in Spanish, and a translator was on hand to ensure that attendees were able to communicate effectively with the represented city departments. Experts from the Seattle Departments of Transportation and Planning and Development, as well as Public Health of Seattle/King County, made short presentations, distributed literature on the permitting process, and answered the questions of those in attendance. Mayor McGinn opened the workshop by telling the audience that, \u201cwe are holding this event because we want you to succeed.\u201d\nThere was also a presentation from local businesswoman Roz Edison, owner of the popular Marination food truck and restaurant business. Edison was able to translate the success of her food truck, Marination Mobile, into the opening of a brick-and-mortar location on Capitol Hill. As one of the pioneers of Seattle\u2019s street food scene, Edison volunteered to share her experience of starting a business in this expanding sector of our local economy.\nThe workshops aren\u2019t the only way you can find out how to get a mobile food business up and running. The Office of Economic Development has put together a website with everything you need to know.\nFiled Under: Bottom Line Tagged With: DPD, King County, Marination Mobile, Mayor Mike McGinn, mobile food, SDOT, street food, vending\nFirst Street-Food Vending Workshop successful; next one in Spanish, November 14\nThe first Street-Food Vending Workshop on October 27th successfully gave participants an opportunity to learn how to start and operate a thriving street-food business. Over 60 people attended, and the workshop fostered positive interaction between City staff and participants. Roz Edison, owner of Marination Mobile, captivated the audience, and many attendees expressed interest in the services of Mercy Corps NW and Washington C.A.S.H.\nThe Office of Economic Development (OED) continues to develop the Seattle Street-Food growseattle web portal \u2014 a one-stop shop for interested mobile food operators to better understand the mobile food permitting process. OED has added a Seattle Street-Food Checklist which operators can print out to use while obtaining the necessary permits. Translations of the checklist into Vietnamese, Spanish, and Somali will be distributed via OEDs community-based partners soon.\nOED, along with Department of Transportation (SDOT), Department of Planning and Development (DPD), the Fire Marshal\u2019s Office, and in partnership with Washington C.A.S.H. and Mercy Corps NW is hosting the second mobile food training (in Spanish) with guest speaker Roz Edison, owner of Marination Mobile.\nThe workshop is FREE! Successful street-food business owners will be on hand to speak about their experiences, best practices, challenges, and perspectives on how the new street-food ordinance will energize street-food vending in Seattle.\nCity and County departments will give an overview of the new regulatory changes, as well as introduce the needed documentation required during the permitting process. For those interested in starting or growing a small business, Washington C.A.S.H. and Mercy Corps NW will introduce available business training workshops, loans, and technical assistance.\nNovember 14 (Spanish)\n2100 24th Ave S, Seattle (Art Room)\nRegistration is required.

        "raw_content": "The Cult: Alive In The Hidden City, Chicago 3/24/2016\n\u201cIan is awfully ornery tonight\u201d \u2013 The Rock Chick 3/24/2016\nThe Rock Chick and I flew up to Chicago over the weekend to catch The Cult\u2019s \u201cAlive In the Hidden City\u201d tour at the Chicago House of Blues. Man, am I glad I went. As I was walking into the lobby of my hotel before the show, I ran into three guys from Decatur, Illinois. One of them, Clint, was wearing a Cult t-shirt and after my two Old Fashion lunch I felt bold so I stopped in the middle of the lobby and asked loudly, \u201cHey man, are you going to the show.\u201d Oddly, after that brief interaction I couldn\u2019t go anywhere without running into the Decatur 3. Every time I went into a bar, hit the button for an elevator, or at the actual Cult show, I ran into the guys from Decatur. They were true Cult fans, and it was very nice to meet kindred spirits.\nThat\u2019s the thing about concerts. When you\u2019re into a band, you tend to meet like minded folks at a concert. Especially a show in a smaller venue like the House of Blues. The concert begins to transcend a simple live show. There is an almost spiritual connection you have with the band and the people in the crowd. There was a guy at the show who kept holding up his lighter, that took me back to a pre-cellphone world. Standing on the floor, hands in the air, singing along with the rest of the crowd, I felt a real connection with everyone in the room. After the show Decatur Ron and I were talking about the almost spiritual/religious nature of rock concerts and he agreed with me. There is something about this new material that has The Cult charged up. The only bands I\u2019ve seen pull that type of intimacy off in an arena setting are Springsteen, U2 and The Stones\u2026but I digress.\nI must say Friday night at the House of Blues was a special concert. I\u2019ve seen the Cult nearly 10 times over the last 15 years and they were simply on fire Friday. Ian Astbury was more animated than I have ever seen him. He does this skip/kick dance move that has gotten rarer and rarer over the years \u2013 not Friday, he was moving like man half his age. He was engaging with the crowd, funny and extremely charismatic. When he\u2019s on like he was Friday, he is the consummate front man. He has an almost shamanic ability to raise the level of the entire room. Friday was one of those nights. He dedicated a song to the late Ray Manzarek of the Doors, made fun of American beer for being piss, and handed out tambourines to those lucky enough to be up near the stage. And not to sound like a chick, but the guy\u2019s hair is long again and instead of slicking it back he was letting the freak flag fly. Dressed in all black with a blazer on, he was shaking that hair all over the place. It just seemed to make it more primal. It was after he gave somebody in the audience some gentle shit for texting during \u201cHinterland\u201d that the Rock Chick turned me and laughingly said, \u201cMy, my, Ian is awfully ornery tonight\u2026\u201d I couldn\u2019t have summed it up any better.\nFrom a technical standpoint, the sound was great. I could tell Billy Duffy was struggling with his first guitar, which looks like the custom Gretsch Black Falcon I\u2019ve been reading about. After two or three songs he quickly switched over to a black Les Paul. He ended the show with that beautiful White Falcon. Ian\u2019s vocals were high in the mix and he sounded great. His voice was strong and very full. You can tell he\u2019s very into this new material, and it has really put a lot of steam in his stride. The oddest thing Friday was the introduction of keyboards to the Cult\u2019s sound. The new rhythm guitar player, who looks like he may be Rob Zombie\u2019s illegitimate child, also doubles as a keyboard player, which was a first at a Cult show for me. The keyboard textures on the new stuff worked but inexplicably during \u201cShe Sells Sanctuary\u201d the guy chose to play a piano figure instead of that brilliant rhythm guitar counterpoint to the main riff. It was the only sour note all night.\nI was wondering how the new material off the great \u201cHidden City\u201d was going to translate live. I didn\u2019t have to wait long, as they opened with a muscular version of \u201cDark Energy\u201d. Needless to say, this new stuff is awesome live. They quickly moved into \u201cRain\u201d and then \u201cWildflower\u201d, which was an amazing trio of songs to start the show off. After the always great \u201cHorse Nation\u201d they played another new song, \u201cHinterland\u201d which was stunning live. About 1/3 of the show was from the new album, and the stuff just sounds great. \u201cDeeply Ordered Chaos\u201d was probably my favorite, but I\u2019m pretty biased about that song. The setlist did take a left turn when they played the obscure \u201cGone\u201d from \u201cThe Cult\u201d album (aka the \u201cRam\u201d album). I love it when a band goes obscure. I would have rather heard \u201cSpanish Gold\u201d but hey, that\u2019s just me. \u201cFire Woman\u201d made a reappearance on the set list for the first time in a very, very long time and the crowd went predictably batshit crazy for that one. After a slightly disappointing \u201cShe Sells Sanctuary\u201d (rhythm guitar next time, not keyboards new guy), the Cult came back for a great encore with \u201cG.O.A.T\u201d from the new album and then a strong version of \u201cLove Removal Machine\u201d. The night was a tremendous mixture of new material and classic material. My only complaint is that the Cult could have added a few more tunes. I get that 90 minutes is the typical set length these days if you\u2019re not Springsteen, but adding \u201cRise\u201d or \u201cDirty Little Rockstar\u201d would have been a nice add.\nAll in all, this was a great show. If you\u2019re lucky enough to live in a town where the \u201cAlive In The Hidden City Tour\u201d is coming, I urge you strongly to get out and see the Cult. You\u2019re in for a good old fashion, rock and roll evening. I couldn\u2019t help thinking as I was standing on the floor of the House of Blues, I\u2019d rather be spending the night with the Cult, who feel like old friends these days, than sitting at home.

(Setlist below)\n(Encore break) G.O.A.T.\nBourbonAndVinyl\u2019s List of Overlooked Bands Whose Members Went On To Stardom\n\u201cGot a call from an old friend, we used to be real close\u2026\u201d \u2013 \u201cMy Life\u201d, Billy Joel\nWell, it wasn\u2019t actually a call, but I got an email from a high school friend of mine recently. I don\u2019t think I\u2019d seen or been in contact with the guy since they laid the diploma on me, many years ago. High school was something I wanted squarely in my rear view mirror. But I always liked BG and was delighted to revisit our friendship, virtually speaking. As part of our conversation, inspired by B&V he mentioned he was a fan of the 60\u2019s English blues-rock band Free. Other than \u201cAll Right Now\u201d I didn\u2019t know much of their music. I did know two of the members of Free, lead vocalist Paul Rodgers and drummer Simon Kirke went on to form Bad Company. I have since picked up a couple of Free\u2019s albums and I must admit, I\u2019m damned impressed, but that\u2019s another post in the making.\nAs I thought about Free vs Bad Company, I started thinking about some of those great bands, like Free, that were to some degree overlooked. Sure, everybody hears about the \u201cSupergroup\u201d when it forms \u2013 Cream was considered a super group at the time it formed, or Manassas when Steven Stills formed them. The Traveling Wilbury\u2019s may have been the super-est of the Supergroups. Even today we have Chickenfoot, a Supergroup made up of Sammy Hagar, Joe Satriani, Michael Anthony, and RHCP drummer Chad Smith. Famous musicians come together all the time to form new bands.\nBut what about those bands who formed, didn\u2019t hit it big and then split up and one or several of the members went on to stardom or superstardom. How bad would you feel if your lead singer went onto platinum success but you couldn\u2019t make it work. It all gets back to chemistry. There is something magical when the right three, four or more guys get into a room and make music together. You wonder why some of these bands stay together when they can\u2019t stand each other \u2013 they know their chemistry is magic. Don Henley couldn\u2019t make the same kind of music without Glenn Frey and vice versa. There is something that David Lee Roth brings out in Eddie Van Halen\u2019s guitar that no other lead singer has been able to. I quote Joe Strummer\u2019s comment, \u201cnever underestimate the chemistry of the right four musicians in a room\u201d (or something like that) all of the time. When I started thinking of some of these early \u201cnear-miss\u201d bands I realized that there were more of them than I realized. I guess you could say about these bands, the whole was less than the sum of its parts. I guess the chemistry just wasn\u2019t there. In most cases, I would suggest that these bands deserve another look, or perhaps another listen would be more appropriate. In each of these cases, one or several members went onto \u201cgreatness\u201d.\nThis list is in no particular order:\nFree \u2013 I figured I\u2019d start here since we already mentioned them. I think these guys were bigger in England than in the US. They were an influence on Zeppelin (who quote their song \u201cThe Hunter\u201d on their first album) and The Faces who covered several of their songs live on stage. Paul Rodgers and Simon Kirke went on to form the hugely successful Bad Company, but I love Free, it\u2019s harder, bluesier music.\nMontrose \u2013 Sammy Hagar\u2019s first band. They cut two fantastic albums, \u201cMontrose\u201d and \u201cPaper Money\u201d before Hagar went on to solo success. The records produced several hits, including the incendiary classic \u201cBad Motor Scooter\u201d but Montrose never caught on the way Hagar was able to on his own.\nThe Jeff Beck Group \u2013 as you probably suspect here, I\u2019m talking about the original version of this band with Rod Stewart on vocals and Ronnie Wood on bass guitar. Beck treated the rest of the band as side men and they never came off the road long enough to write enough original material. Beck fired Wood and Rod left right behind him. Obviously Woody went on to join the Faces and then the Rolling Stones and Stewart went on to individual superstardom. The Jeff Beck Group was due to play Woodstock, which would probably have been a game-changer but Beck who was fond of fast cars, got into a car wreck and they had to cancel. Damn shame, as I think Jeff Beck is one of the greatest guitarists ever. The two albums these guys cut, \u201cTruth\u201d and \u201cBeckola\u201d remain huge influences on blues rock to this day.\nGeneration X \u2013 formed in the heyday of Punk Rock, Generation X recorded two albums and were in the process of recording a third album when they broke up. Their lead singer was none other than Billy Idol. They even did an early version of \u201cDancing With Myself\u201d. During the recording sessions for the third record, they split citing \u201ccreative differences\u201d. Some in the band wanted to stay true to their punk roots, and some wanted to expand their sound.\nThe Runaways \u2013 Now, this girl group may or may not have been famous. I can only tell you that the Runaways never got any radio play in my home town. Movies have been made about the craziness around this band. After they finally broke up The Runaways spawned the solo careers of Joan Jett and Lita Ford.\nJohn Mayall\u2019s Bluesbreakers \u2013 Mayall\u2019s Bluesbreakers have gotten a lot of attention over the years, and they did record the seminal \u201cWith Eric Clapton\u201d album, which is still in high rotation here at B&V. I think of Mayall\u2019s band as an English Prep School for Rock Stars. Who didn\u2019t serve a stint in the Bluesbreakers \u2013 Clapton, Peter Green, Mick Taylor, Ginger Bruce, Mick Fleetwood, John McVie. Every one of those folks went on to much bigger careers after leaving.\nThe James Gang \u2013 Joe Walsh\u2019s first group. After a promising debut, the other guys wanted more creative input and they wanted to veer away from the guitar, riff-driven songs that made their name. Everybody wants to be the front man, sigh. They veered back to the guitar rock that made them famous on \u201cJames Gang Rides Again\u201d which is a classic, but the writing was on the wall. Joe took off and formed Barnstorm. After a string of solo hits including \u201cRocky Mountain Way\u201d he joined the Eagles.\nMother Love Bone \u2013 these guys were on the verge of stardom when their lead singer, Andrew Wood sadly overdosed. I love the stuff they\u2019ve released. Who knows where they would have gone. Guitarist Stone Gossard and bassist Jeff Ament ended up reforming a band around Mike McCready\u2019s lead guitar. At the suggestion of Jack Irons of the RHCP\u2019s, they auditioned a guy from San Diego named Eddie\u2026 I think it was Vedder\u2026 Pearl Jam became one of the biggest bands in the world.\nThe Faces \u2013 the second band where Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood (now on lead guitar) left to go on to bigger solo success. Actually Rod had a dual solo career at the same time he was serving as lead singer in the Faces. It apparently confused early-70s rock fans\u2026 Are the Faces his back up band? His solo career took off after \u201cMaggie May\u201d and the Faces died in the shadow of that success. Ronnie went on to the Stones, and drummer Kenny Jones went on to join the Who. Oh, and Rod did pretty well on his own too. The Faces absolutely deserve a second listen, but anybody whose read these posts before know I\u2019m biased\u2026\nThem \u2013 Van Morrison\u2019s first group. They changed their line up so many times by the end it was just Van and whoever was available to come to the studio. I think Jimmy Page even played on a few Them singles. Van was probably destined to be a solo artist as he is rather mercurial, but Them had some great songs including \u201cGloria\u201d and \u201cBaby Please Don\u2019t Go\u201d.\nBuckingham-Nicks \u2013 Fleetwood Mac, at a loss after another guitarist had quit, were given the \u201cBuckingham-Nicks\u201d album as an audition of sorts for producer Greg Olson. They hired the producer and both Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks. I always loved Lindsey and Stevie\u2019s chemistry. I still do. This album is a lost gem.\nBuffalo Springfield \u2013 this band did better than most of the folks on this list. But with Neil Young, Stephen Stills and Bruce Palmer all in the band, who knows what they could have accomplished if they could have just gotten along. They didn\u2019t want Neil to sing because, well for obvious reasons, and Stills kept wanting to play the lead guitar parts, which were supposed to be Neil\u2019s. Too many cooks spoiled the broth.\nUncle Tupelo \u2013 Both Jay Farrar and Jeff Tweedy who went on to form Son Volt and Wilco respectively were in Uncle Tupelo. I was never that big into alt country but Jay and Jeff apparently couldn\u2019t get along. Everything I\u2019ve read would suggest Jay Farrar is a control-freak but there are always two sides of the story. Son Volt had early success but Wilco is the band that has really stood the test of time.\nWhiskeytown \u2013 Ryan Adams\u2019 first band. They were always a little sloppy but I like Whiskeytown. They\u2019re another alt country band that I\u2019ve seemed to get into as I get older. \u201cStranger\u2019s Almanac\u201d and \u201cPneumonia\u201d were great records. Ryan went on to quite a solo career after \u201cHeartbreaker\u201d came out. Of course now that he\u2019s cutting Taylor Swift cover albums, he\u2019s dead to me.\nThe Spencer Davis Group \u2013 for a band with Steve Winwood in it, these guys only had about three or four actual hits. After three years Winwood finally split to form Traffic, another personal favorite. The Spencer Davis Group even boasted bassist Dee Murray and drummer Nigel Olsson later of Elton John\u2019s band. With all that talent you\u2019d expect a little more here.\nMudcrutch \u2013 Tom Petty and Mike Campbell\u2019s first band. After they split Petty went on to form the Heartbreakers. Mudcrutch didn\u2019t record more than a handful of singles, including an early version of \u201cDon\u2019t Do Me Like That\u201d but they just didn\u2019t take off. Petty and Campbell along with Benmont Tench revisited Mudcrutch a few years back and recorded a great album. Rumors have it their follow-up record is in the works for this year release.\nBand of Joy \u2013 Another band that only had a handful of singles, released on their lead singer\u2019s retrospective, \u201cHighway 61 to Timbuktu\u201d, none other than Robert Plant. They also boasted a drummer by the name of John Bonham\u2026. I wonder whatever happened to those guys?\nIf you like some of the artists mentioned in this post, perhaps you might want to check out their \u201cback pages\u201d as the saying goes. I really like most of the bands on this list. It\u2019s great to check out some of these artists in their more formative period. I encourage everyone to do the same. Let me know if I missed any bands that should be on this list.\nTurn it up loud, enjoy and as always, Cheers!\nMarch 10, 2016 March 11, 2016 ~ kcorsini\t~ 1 Comment",

        "raw_content": "Tyrone Nurse Menu\nform TKO 9UD 12UD 12D 12UD 12 <\nBorn on January 4, 1990 in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, England, Tyrone Nurse had the gloves on from a young age. His father, Chris Aston, was a trainer and former professional boxer, and he passed that knowledge on to his son. Nurse was training in a boxing gym by the time he was 10 years old. He had a solid amateur career, but the most important part of his development was the many sparring sessions he had with professional fighters when he was just a teenager.\nHe was barely 18 when he made his pro debut on March 28, 2008, picking up a points win over Kristian Laight. He had an interesting start to his career, as he took several months off after that first win, coming back on September 5, 2008 to beat Carl Allen on points. He then fought Allen again just over three weeks later and picked up another points win. In December, he fought twice, picking up points wins over Fred Janes and Sid Razak.\nBecause he won on points so much, Tyrone Nurse built up quite a few rounds of experience during his early career, experience that would come in handy later. He fought low-level competition during that time, not facing an opponent with a winning record until he took on the 11-7-1 Adam Kelly in his 12th fight on March 5, 2010, winning on points again. In his next fight, he had his first stoppage with a TKO over Johnny Greaves, who was 2-49 at the time.\nAfter building up a record of 22-0, Nurse suffered his first loss when he dropped a unanimous decision to Adil Anwar on February 11, 2012. He rebounded with two points wins, and then won the BBBofC Central Area super lightweight title when he defeated Joe Elfidh by TKO. With two more wins on points, he won the BBBofC English super lightweight title when he beat Tyler Goodjohn by unanimous decision after 10 rounds of action.\nWhile his next fight was another win on points, he then lost to the 15-8 Dave Ryan by majority decision in a fight for the Commonwealth super lightweight title. It was a razor-close fight, but his lack of finishing ability had caught up to him. Just under two months later, he knocked out Radoslav Mitev in the fourth round. He then beat Liam Taylor by unanimous decision after 10 rounds.\nOn July 18, 2015, Tyrone Nurse fought the 16-0 Chris Jenkins for the British light welterweight title, but after 12 close rounds, the fight was ruled a majority draw. The two had an immediate rematch on November 21, and this time around Nurse won the belt by unanimous decision. He made his first title defense against Willie Limond on May 28, 2016, and in one of his more impressive performances, he took out Limond in the ninth round by way of TKO. On July 30, he put his title on the line against the 22-3 Tommy Coyle and once again fought well, this time picking up a unanimous decision win after 12 rounds.\nTyrone Nurse News\nTyrone Nurse pondering next move after third consecutive loss\nHudderfield\u2019s former British light-welterweight titlist Tyrone Nurse (35-5-2, 7 KOs) has admitted that he needs to take...\nTyrone Nurse's Next Fight\nSorry, no fights sheduled for Tyrone Nurse at the moment, check potential opponents & fights below.\nTyrone Nurse's Potential Fights & Rumours\nSorry, we don't know of any potential fights for Tyrone Nurse at the moment, why not send us some suggestions?\nTyrone Nurse's Last 5 Fights\nNurse vs Catterall\nBBBOC British Super Lightweight Championship\nNurse vs Hughes\nNurse vs Coyle\nNurse vs Limond\nTyrone Nurse ODDS Choose Odd Format Decimal Fractional American\nSorry, we couldn't find any with fights scheduled with odds for Tyrone Nurse, please check back soon.\nTyrone Nurse Tickets\nSorry, we couldn\u2019t find any ticket details for Tyrone Nurse at the moment.",

        "raw_content": "F is for Framing\nFraming is one way of thinking about what we do when we ask a question or pose a problem in a certain way. For example, it\u2019s often possible to frame the same question in ways which invite very different answers. This might be a matter of the wording of the question:\n\u201cAren\u2019t you looking forward to tonight?\u201d\n\u201cAren\u2019t you just dreading tonight?\u201d\nAlternatively, it might be a matter of context, or what comes before the question.\n\u201cI love seafood. Do you serve lobster here?\u201d\n\u201cI\u2019m allergic to seafood. Do you serve lobster here?\u201d\nThese are extreme examples, and it can be much more subtle. For example, encouraging gay, lesbian and bisexual people to come up can still, unwittingly, send the message that their sexuality is unusual or abnormal, because it embeds an assumption that if you haven\u2019t come out, you\u2019re straight. Not being aware of the way in which we frame our questions, and the assumptions which we embed in them, can lead to miscommunications. In particular, being given a fact and showing in your response that you have automatically framed this as \u2018good news\u2019 or \u2018bad news\u2019 can make it very hard for the messenger to disagree with you.\nSometimes it\u2019s necessary to draw attention to the framing of issues. Some authors, for example, have chosen to write very dense, wordy, difficult prose, not because they couldn\u2019t write in another style or because the ideas demand it, but because in writing in a way which demands attention, which calls attention to the writing itself as well as the ideas it is communicating, calls attention to the fact that all those ideas are themselves framed by the way they are written about. In other words, the piece of text is not a clear view of the world, a description of how things are, but is always no more than one, carefully framed, perspective. Think about the tricks which a camera can play \u2013 making something seem much larger or smaller by disguising the distances involved, making something finite seem endless by keeping the ends of it out of the frame. (I have, somewhere, a photograph of an endless school corridor. It wasn\u2019t endless, although it sometimes felt like that, but it looks endless because of the way I framed the shot.)\nIn the same way, we can use language to re-frame a topic. A problem can be dissolved if it reframed as a strength (the classic \u201cit\u2019s not a bug, it\u2019s a feature\u201d move). A opposition can be reframed as a co-operation (football teams are in competition, but it takes two of them to make a football match). It\u2019s not always easy to see how to do this \u2013 it requires the ability to step back and think outside the current frame, which can be very difficult if we are attached to it for some reason, especially if in some way it is keeping us safe, or if we have never been outside it. It can be well worth it, however. Consider this example: a common framing of illness is of disease as the enemy, something which must be fought. It can be very difficult indeed to speak of illness otherwise, and people who do get pushback: you\u2019re just giving up, don\u2019t surrender to it, and so forth (all inside that same metaphor or framing device). But an illness like Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, for which the only treatment is rest, cannot be fought, it must be accepted, welcomed, worked with, incorporated. And I suspect the same is true of many other things.\nWhat in your life might benefit from reframing?\nTagged Academic, conflict, F, framing, language, metaphor, patterns of thought\nF is for Fluency\nOne of the ideas I like to play with is an analogy, borrowed originally from George Lindbeck: religion as language. If a religion is like a language \u2013 if learning to speak Christian is like learning to speak English \u2013 all kinds of interesting possibilities appear about how we might understand religion. One of them is that knowing your religion really well, or being really competent in it, is like being fluent in a language.\nFluency has all kinds of aspects, as anyone who has ever tried to learn a language will know. (And I don\u2019t really, although at various times I\u2019ve tried quite hard \u2013 I\u2019m terrible at languages.) There\u2019s vocabulary. There\u2019s grammar. There\u2019s the surrounding culture \u2013 knowing when to speak at all, for example. There are the adjustments in vocabulary and grammar for different situations, and often different ways of looking at the world. If you speak a language which distinguishes between formal and informal pronouns, for example, you have build a mental filter which sorts situations with reference to which is appropriate.\nCompare someone learning a new language to someone learning a new religion. Some people will be happy with a few words picked up for fun, or enough to get by as a tourist \u2013 going to a wedding in a tradition not your own might be an occasion when you need a little of another religion in this way, for example. Some will learn a language in detail without ever really using it; it\u2019s possible, if unusual, to study the Bible and know Christianity well without ever participating in a Christian community. It\u2019s more common to have some grounding in a religion and then change later on (in this analogy \u2018atheist\u2019 or \u2018secular\u2019 can also be thought of as a language). As I have discussed in a previous post about belonging, it\u2019s also possible to belong to more than one religion at once \u2013 and the image of religion as a language gives us an obvious analogy for this, being bilingual, something which is not provided by many other ways of discussing religion.\nIt can give us insights into the ways in which religion changes and yet is preserved \u2013 this is the focus of Lindbeck\u2019s use of the analogy. He thinks of a language in a Wittgensteinian model, seeing that meaning is use, and focuses on the community which preserves the language or the religion. Just as English can change over time and in response to new circumstances and inventions (consider, among others, \u2018mouse\u2019, \u2018gay\u2019, and, for a religiously themed example, \u2018icon\u2019), so Christianity can change. Just as in English, fluent speakers have an instinct for what is grammatical and what is new, even in new uses of words (a new verb is still a verb), fluent Christians will know what is an acceptable development and what is not. In fact, Lindbeck is worried that without enough fluent users, religion might change beyond recognition, just as a language dies without speakers. If we share that worry, it would be worth asking: how do we train people to be fluent in our religion, whether that\u2019s Christianity or another tradition? Can the language analogy help us to find better ways of teaching religion, as well as helping us to understand it better?\nTagged analogy, Christianity, doctrine, F, language, Lindbeck, Wittgenstein\nF is for\u2026 Faith and Practice\nQuaker Faith and Practice is the current name for our book of discipline (in Britain Yearly Meeting). It\u2019s an interesting book, with several different types of material in it; I\u2019d never thought of it as a very hard read, until I tried to share it with some undergraduate students! The first chapter is Advices and Queries, which I wrote about at the beginning of this year. The rest divides roughly \u2013 and not very neatly \u2013 into two: inspirational material, mainly composed of treasured extracts from other sources, and governance material, which tells you how to run the Religious Society of Friends.\nThere is a cyclical nature to this document and its entanglement with the Society, especially Yearly Meeting. Yearly Meeting is the body which approves changes to the book, whether as a big overhaul once a generation or the drip-drip-drip changes which accompany our shifts of opinion and movement in the law. Assisted by various committees, it is Yearly Meeting which ultimately writes its own book of discipline. However, because the book then serves as part of our community memory, it tells us, among other things, how to hold Yearly Meeting. (You\u2019ll find this in chapter 6.) We don\u2019t rely solely on the book for guidance, but it is one the main sources one turns to when you want to know how to do things the Quaker way. In that sense, the book helps to create and maintain Yearly Meeting, just as Yearly Meeting creates and curates the book of discipline.\nAlso covered by governance chapters are other things one might want to \u2018do the Quaker way\u2019: marriage, funerals, looking after people, buildings, and money. Some of these topics are covered again in the inspiration material \u2013 so chapter 16, Quaker marriage procedure, is much enriched if you read it alongside chapter 22, Close relationships. Some things fall a little in between, like chapter 19, Openings, which contains historical material (not, as it carefully points out, \u201ca full history\u201d) \u2013 this history both informs our practice and methods of governance, and can inspire us.\nThat said, the governance chapters can have a beauty and an inspiration value of their own. Frequently cited for this is chapter 15, Property and trusteeship. Sections 15:17-15:20 deal with Burial grounds, and 20, Gravestones, is almost poetic:\n\u201cFriends are left at liberty to adopt the use of plain gravestones in any burial grounds; it being distinctly understood that, in all cases, they are to be erected under the direction of the area meeting; so that, in each particular burial ground, such uniformity is preserved in respect to the materials, size, form and wording of the stones, as well as in the mode of placing them, as may effectually guard against any distinction being made in that place between the rich and the poor.\u201d\nTagged F, Quaker Faith and Practice, Quakerism\nF is for\u2026 Finance\nThis post was partially inspired by a post at the Sheffield Quakers blog about The New Priesthood.\nI hope that our discussion of Trusteeship \u2013 and of finance, and our relationships with our trustees and our money \u2013 will remember that They Are Us and We Are Them. Now that all Area Meetings, as well as our Yearly Meeting, as well as all sorts of semi-Quaker or connected bodies (like nursing homes and colleges and semi-abandoned Quarterly Meetings) have trustees, I anticipate that most adult members will be asked to serve as a Trustee to something or other during their lifetime. As members of Meeting for Sufferings are reminded from time to time, Britain Yearly Meeting\u2019s Trustees are also members of Sufferings \u2013 and of Yearly Meeting \u2013 and of their own various local and area meetings.\nOur finances work best when we own them \u2013 corporately \u2013 and bring their ordering under the Spirit whose guidance we use for everything else. I do not agree, needless to say, with the Friend quoted who says that the Quaker business method is not appropriate to financial matters. (I don\u2019t know the original context of this comment, and The Friend\u2018s website is down at present, so I can\u2019t find out \u2013 if you know, please comment and enlighten me.) I can imagine that there are times when it feels difficult \u2013 either because the time required feels inappropriate to the speed of today\u2019s financial affairs, or because a meeting is led to do something which a financial advisor would deem to be silly \u2013 but I hope that we, as a Society, don\u2019t move towards abandoning it.\nIn fact, I see no signs of this. In my recent contact with BYM Trustees and Quakers in Yorkshire Trustees, I found them working by Quaker methods and happy to seek the promptings of love and truth.\nI once told the Yearly Meeting, in a discussion of finances, how glad I am to be part of a religious community which plans ahead, takes as far as possible sensible precautions, and doesn\u2019t have to have endless little \u2018fund raising\u2019 drives for new carpets or curtains. (We had heard something about the virtues of churches who take risks with their money to help others, and and enlivened by the resulting financial pressure. I\u2019m sure there\u2019s something to be said for it, but I prefer to think that we steward our buildings as well as we can and offer money to charity when we have it to spare, rather than becoming charity cases ourselves.) We have our fair share of financial challenges. I hope we uphold our treasurers, our Finance and Property committees, and our Trustees as they work on such things \u2013 whether or not we understand their decisions.\nTagged F, finance, Quakerism\nF is for\u2026 F/friends and Family\nI read several simplicity blogs \u2013 they cross over with Quaker blogs, and environmental concern blogs, and anti-capitalist blogs, and other things of interest to me. And something they say from time to time is (paraphrased): \u201cThe best thing about simplicity is having time to spend with your family\u201d or \u201chaving time to play with your children\u201d or \u201chaving time to talk to your partner\u201d or \u201chaving time for really deep conversations with friends\u201d.\nIt sounds ideal, I think. Then I remember that no amount of throwing my stuff away (I don\u2019t have that much anyway), or taking up home cooking or sewing, or cutting down my working hours, will give me any of those things. I have some family, but I already spend more time talking to them than most people my age; and they are two hundred miles away, so it\u2019s almost always the telephone. I don\u2019t, and can\u2019t, have children, so the question of whether I want them is moot.\nI haven\u2019t got a partner \u2013 there are people I love, but they aren\u2019t really able to be big parts of my life right now. I love Panda, but he loves his new girlfriend; he\u2019ll see me sometimes, but the days are gone when I could pick up the phone and invite him over on a whim. I love Otter, but she\u2019s in Vietnam (maybe Thailand by the time you read this). Even Facebook messages aren\u2019t getting through any more.\nI get on okay with my housemates, but understandably they \u2013 a couple \u2013 want to spend their free time with each other rather than with me. (I find it hardest that I never know whether they\u2019ll be around to talk to, or shut away upstairs.) I have some friends of the kind with whom you can make plans a week or two ahead, but many of them are far away (for given values of far: Nottingham, Winchester, Sheffield, Otley, Liverpool, Cambridge, Canada), and the two or three who are local I don\u2019t know well enough to be casual with, to say \u2018are you free tonight?\u2019 rather than \u2018shall we make a plan for next week?\u2019\nThere are a few people online most nights \u2013 but typing for ages isn\u2019t good for my wrist, especially since I do that all day; and there is always the possibility of misinterpretation. I am not ready to deal with another friend thinking that I am leading him on and want a date.\nI know I ought to make new friends. (And stop complaining, and suck it up and deal, and not be needy, and not have these messy wants like \u2018companionship\u2019 and \u2018someone to talk to\u2019.) It doesn\u2019t help that most of my communities don\u2019t really want me. Local political campaigners put leaflets through my door saying that people like me should be limited to a certain percentage of the housing. (They say \u2018shared occupancy houses\u2019, and mean \u2018students\u2019.) The community groups around sexuality don\u2019t really want me \u2013 lesbians usually meet in nightclubs, for example, a perfect way to exclude the chronically ill.\nI don\u2019t build up strong enough ties in any of my religious communities to make friends. I am too irregular at Buddhists (I keep having to work over the lunchtime meditations, and can\u2019t manage most evenings). The only Pagan group I now see regularly is the one I sort-of run, and I have to be careful there not to be too bossy, not to be seen to be trying to run it, while also not asking for too much of any of the other members \u2013 to be fair, we try and spread things evenly, but it\u2019s difficult to get the right balance. I only know the names of about a third of the people at my Quaker Meeting, and the people who know me a little tend to make assumptions (\u201cit\u2019s so good to see young people involved in our community! it\u2019s so great that you\u2019re bringing all this energy!\u201d There\u2019s nothing like being thanked for your youth and energy to make you feel old and fatigued).\nI can\u2019t say this to anyone who knows me, obviously. If you say to a friend \u2018I wish I had more friends\u2019, they feel insulted, and begin to wonder what horrible thing about you they don\u2019t yet know.\nSometimes I tell myself that I have to let go of this desire, that I will always be alone, and that I have to deal with that. Other times I tell myself that it is okay to want things, so long as you don\u2019t impose that on other people. Either way hurts. Nothing actually gets me what I want, which is someone to talk to, to listen to, to care about, who doesn\u2019t object to my ill health or my emotions or my life choices.\nTagged F, family, friends, Paganism, Quakerism\nF is for\u2026 Fruit\nIf I\u2019m any kind of Witch at all \u2013 and perhaps I am, though it\u2019s an identity I usually only claim in jest, preferring \u2018Pagan\u2019, \u2018Druid\u2019 and \u2018Goddess Worshipper\u2019 to more seriously describe my path \u2013 then I\u2019m a Kitchen Witch. I don\u2019t cook as much as I like to, but all my herbs are on a rack in the kitchen rather than in my altar tools box, and I am often aware of the symbolism of the food I eat.\nAlthough this could be a very long post, looking at how all our food is tied into the seasons of the year, the land on which we live, and the cycle of interbeing, I thought I\u2019d just talk about three of my favourite kinds of fruit.\nI love grapes. I try and make them an occasional treat rather than a common food, because \u2013 since very few are grown in the UK and they go off quickly \u2013 they have lots of food miles and refrigeration costs. They are delicious, though, and (here comes the pagan content!) since I do not (and cannot) drink wine, they are the closest I come to a worship of Dionysus.\nDionysus with a satyr.\nThese do grow locally, and when they\u2019re in season I love to go out and pick them \u2013 they grow along the canal, for example, so it\u2019s an attractive walk as well as a free portion of fruit. I don\u2019t try too hard; if they\u2019re out of reach, those are for the Goddess and/or the birds, so I don\u2019t get too scratched or tangled in the bushes. They\u2019ve been eaten by human beings since at least the Iron Age, and probably long before. Here\u2019s an interesting fact about brambles: because they are related to both roses and apples, they also have pretty five-petaled flowers \u2013 rarely appreciated, perhaps because of the thorns!\nBramble flower\nApples have featured in British folklore \u2013 and in other mythologies \u2013 frequently. associated with Avalon \u2013 the Isle of Apples \u2013 and various goddesses. If you cut one open, you can even tell that it\u2019s dedicated to a goddess, because of the five-pointed star inside.\nTagged F, fruit, Paganism",

Following this setback, England will now meet the Red Devils in the third place game on Saturday at 16:00 in St. Petersburg.\nThe Three Lions quickly found their way through the net after just four minutes of play. The referee gave a free kick for a foul by Luka Modric on Delle Alli after 4 minutes. Kieran Trippier sent the ball right into Danijel Subasic\u2019s skylight to give the lead to his team with the 9th goal from a dead ball since the start of the tournament, the 12th overall (a record).\nThe Croatians were more accurate in the second half. Ivan Perisic went from a heavy shot long distance to the 58th, saved by Kyle Walker. But this was just a warning shot from former Brugge player, who equalized in the 68th minute.\nThe score did not move change and so the match headed for extra time. This is the third time that the Croatians have went to overtime, after their knockout stage against Denmark and their quarter against Russia, the equivalent of an extra match in the legs.

My profession is a part-time sales person at The Silver Puffin, (the corner of King & George Streets) downtown.\nWhat do you enjoy doing outside of your career? I enjoy raising money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society\u2019s Team-in-Training programs. I just completed my 3rd marathon competing as a walker through Disney in Orlando. There\u2019s still time to check out the website before it closes if you\u2019d like to read about the process. http://pages.teamintraining.org/sc/wdw11/tnewtonazr\nI am also involved with my church as part of the nominating committee and decorating committee. I teach Sunday School, Children\u2019s Church and Vacation Bible School.\nI enjoy volunteering for various events offered by the Center for Women. Much is to be learned from the classes offered as well. I enjoy writing and attending seminars on topics new to me.\nOne of my favorite things to do on a lazy day is just hang out with my husband and our mutts, Roscoe and Gidget.\nHow long have you been a member of the Center for Women? I have been a member of the Center for Women going on 5 years now, since 2006.\nWhat inspired you to become a member? What inspired me to become a member actually stemmed from depression. I left a job that I loved at one point, after much controversy and closed myself off to the world. After more episodes of Oprah and Dr. Phil than I\u2019d like to admit, I found a local counselor through Dr. Phil\u2019s website. Eventually, she suggested attending events at the Center for Women to have social interaction. I found a surprisingly supportive group of women and began to trust again.\nSlowly, I began working through panic attacks by attending certain events, the first of which was at The Family Circle Cup. Most recently I applied for the Walker Phenomenal Spirit Award and although I didn\u2019t win this year, the process encouraged defining my dream, ways to achieve my dream, placed a financial plan in order and encouraged a time frame. These are all elements that spurred me on to success. Meeting a very special woman at the end of the marathon, who works in Kabul bringing two societies together, was icing on the cake of this victory.\nWhat kind of impact has the Center for Women had on you?The impact that the Center for Women has had on me is multi-dimensional.\n*When I wasn\u2019t well, I was welcomed, comforted, supported and encouraged.\n*When I became well, I signed up to do my first marathon in 2007 with LLS, Team in Training. I attended a job counseling class at the Center for Women and took an inventory of many things to improve. This began some planning and goal setting. Survival had been my mode of operation, so planning and goal setting was not my strong suit.\n*Figuring out strengths became my next challenge. I\u2019ve read many books, taken some classes, written a bit and have been hanging out in \u201cprep\u201d mode. While I\u2019m still working through things myself, I support the Center for Women because they meet each individual woman where she is, then help her succeed. New challenges are created for growth, then they help her succeed. They keep the learning process and victory celebrations going all while she is succeeding. Then, to top it off, they show by example HOW and WHEN and WHERE and TO WHOM and most importantly WHY to give back. The Center for Women creates a success spiral that is meeting women at every level.\nHow has living day-to-day as a woman affected you?Living day-to-day as a woman has affected me in both positive and negative ways, as I imagine the same would be true for men.\nWhat kind of message would you like to send out to women who are trying to succeed in today\u2019s economy? My suggestion to any woman would be to get connected with The Center for Women to experience what is possible through knowledge, while at the same time, stay grounded in faith. The balance of both worlds beaming with mutual respect is the future I work toward.\nTags:center for women, Disney, Dr. Phil, family circle cup, Kabul, leukemia & lymphoma society, walker phenomenal spirit award\nPacesetter \u2013 Doretha Walker\nEvery month Traxee features one extraordinary member who exemplifies the spirit of women\u2019s running and of giving back to the community. This month they featured our very own C4W Board President, the amazing Ms. Walker \u2013 triathlete and founder of the Walker Phenomenal Spirit Award\u2026\nDoretha Walker\nHome: Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina\nBlog: www.wecanflyhigher.com\nYears she\u2019s been running: 25\nAverage weekly mileage: My workout schedule varies depending on what I\u2019m training for. I try to get at least one 10-mile run in every week.\nCurrent training goal: I am currently training for the She TRIs Wilmington \u2013 Women ONLY Triathlon 2010 triathlon in September, so right now I\u2019m back in the pool as well as running.\nFavorite Race: The Marine Corps Marathon\nGear love: My current (running shoe) love is the Brooks Glycerin 7s. I also use eSoles (specialized insoles), Yankz laces, and Footlocker socks (I like them better than the more expensive brands).\nFavorite reward: Champagne \u2013 and putting the event magnets on my car! I have 26.2, Running Girl and Swim, Bike, Run.\nWe first met Doretha on Traxee\u2019s Facebook Page just before her first triathlon and it didn\u2019t take long to discover that her passion for running is only matched by her commitment to service.\nBy day, Doretha works full time as a logistics manager. She is also an adjunct instructor in Human Resources and Public Relations for the Art Institute of Charleston, a guest columnist for Charleston Post & Courier and serves as the President of the Board of Directors for The Center For Women (C4W), a 501(c)3 non-profit organization whose mission is to make personal and professional success an everyday event for women in the Lowcountry region of South Carolina.\nSince 1990, C4W has touched the lives of more than 70,000 women, connecting them to professional sources for practical help by providing counseling, facilitating peer support groups, and making referrals. Oprah Winfrey honored The Center for Women in 2006 with an Oprah\u2019s Angel Network Grant and the organization has been recognized by numerous civic organizations on the state and national level.\nIn 2005, Doretha developed the Walker Phenomenal Spirit Award, which provides one-time grants to women 35 years of age and older to help fund a project, activity or event that fulfills a heartfelt dream. Impressed? There\u2019s more!\nOur Ms. Walker is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in public policy and administration and is actively working on bringing an all-woman triathlon to the Charleston area. \u201cMy goal,\u201d she says \u201cis to get move women involved in the sport in a non-intimidating way.\u201d\nDoretha clearly redefines the concept of \u201cfinding time!\u201d\nEarlier this month Doretha took time out to talk with me about her passion for running, her training schedule, and the things that have inspired her most in life.\nHow did you get started running? I was going into the Army out of college and running is a requirement. My dad is a former Army drill sergeant and he would take me out for runs.\nHow do you stay motivated in your training? I think of all of the people who cannot move and remember how blessed I am. I also love to eat sweets and I know that if I don\u2019t run, I will pay the price for butter cream frosting. I also love what running does for my mind and body. Running is the only place where I don\u2019t ever feel angry, lonely, or any of those other depressing emotions.\nWe talk a lot on Traxee about the positive ways in which running influences women\u2019s lives. How has running influenced you and your work? Running is a stress release for me. Completing my first marathon gave me such a boost of confidence. Now, when I find myself in difficult situations I just say \u201cI got this. I ran 26.2 miles. This is easy.\u201d\nWhat does your typical weekly training schedule look like? Tell us your secrets! I do cross-train and am in the pool twice a week, on the bike twice a week, and run at least twice a week. I used to do Pilates and I miss that, but fitting it into my schedule is just not possible right now. At work I do a lot of walking and rarely take the elevator. My eating regimen consists of tons of fruits and vegetables and I eat lots of salads and make my own dressings. I do not eat red meat and I bake instead of fry. I live near the ocean so fresh seafood is always available and is a staple in my diet. I make it a point to eat breakfast. I also allow myself that piece of chocolate or glass of champagne when warranted. My other treat to myself is a monthly facial. It\u2019s very relaxing and I consider it \u201cpreventive maintenance\u201d for my skin \u2013 repairing the damage caused by sun, stress, and age.\nWho is your greatest inspiration as a runner? I will always admire Wilma Rudolph. She couldn\u2019t even walk as a child and look what she did with determination and confidence! I have a quote by her taped to my bathroom wall. I saw Jackie Joyner Kersee at the Millrose Games awhile back. She has asthma and she is amazing. I loved Flo Jo as well, and Lolo Jones is phenomenal. I love to see women who are strong and still look like women.\nHow did you first become involved with the Center for Women? I was a consumer credit counselor and I did brown bag lunches (free lunchtime seminars) for them on credit card debt and how to buy a car. Then I started doing anything they asked me to from painting to manning booths at events. I fell in love with the mission: \u201cTo help women succeed everyday\u201d. You do not have to be a label (homeless, abused, or any other name we use to categorize ourselves) to benefit from the many programs the Center provides.\nWhat motivates you to volunteerism? What effect has your work with The C4W had on your own life? I grew up volunteering and honestly do not remember a time when I did not do it. My parents are committed volunteers, even to this day. They taught us that because we are blessed (and we are all blessed), it is our responsibility to pass along the blessings to others. I am the woman I am today due to some amazing volunteers who were my Girl Scout leaders, softball coaches, cheerleader coaches, and of course due to my parents\u2019 teachings. It is a circle. I am doing my best to perpetuate it.\nThe award from Oprah Winfrey\u2019s Angel Network must have been thrilling! There\u2019s a lot of competition for such recognition. How did that happen? Oprah\u2019s people found us on the Internet. She was coming to Charleston and wanted to give a grant to a women\u2019s organization. We were one of the few organizations that had a web presence. They sent a thorough confidential grant application and we were awarded the grant and tickets to see her.\nHow did you get the inspiration to create The Walker Phenomenal Spirit Award? It was actually on a six-mile run. I was thinking about going back to school and was wondering where I could get funding. People don\u2019t usually give financial aid to people who aren\u2019t \u201cat-risk.\u201d I am not homeless, a single parent, abused, unemployed, uneducated, in poverty, or anything else that would put me in the category of those needing money or immediate rescuing. I am not rich, but I get by. So I decided that when I had some extra money that I would establish a foundation to help women pursue dreams regardless of the dream \u2013 and definitely regardless of their circumstances. The only criteria the Award that they be at least 35 years old and have a dream. When I got a sizeable bonus from work, I set up the Foundation. That happened to be around the same time Oprah came to town. Everything she said confirmed in me what I was about to do.\nWhat do you think the biggest challenge is facing women today? I would say lack of confidence in themselves. If you are confident in your own abilities, the other stuff falls into place. It\u2019s not easy, but confidence is the one thing you cannot buy. You have to earn it. You cannot rely on others to give it to you. It comes with the tour of duty in life.\nWhat advice would you give a woman who may be in transition in her life? Be fearless \u2013 or at least act like it. Surround yourself with only true friends (I call them \u201cdear sistergirlfriends\u201d). Do not waste time trying to convince others that what you are doing, or about to do is the right thing. Your sistergirlfriends will support and nourish you through the process. Also, be a mentor to someone else. It\u2019s the \u201ceach one teach one\u201d philosophy. As you go further, you have a responsibility to give back some how.\nHow do you find time to do all that you do? I am driven. I just do what I do without thinking that I am doing too much. If it is important to me, I will find a way to get it done. I am also a master at saying no to the things that do not bring value to my life, or that are too draining without benefits. I am learning to be more selfish with my time, weeding out the things (and people) that do not fit.\nYou can help Doretha make more women\u2019s dreams come true by donating to the Walker Phenomenal Spirit Award through the Center for Women Website at www.c4women.org.

        "raw_content": "Posts Tagged \u2018woman entreprenuer\u2019\nC4W Member Profiles: Marcie Jacobs and Ellen Stebbins\nWhat is your profession? MJ: My official title is Chief Story Starter, but I created StoryClub Games. So, as far as a profession, I suppose that makes me an entrepreneur. ES: I have been blessed with the gift of connecting people to create opportunities. My 3 companies allow me to pursue this passion! As the Vice President of StoryClub games, I am privileged to connect women and get them laughing their heads off. As the Co-Founder of The Lowcountry Business Network, I connect entrepreneurs together and get them networking in a fun and creative way. As the Co-Founder of Charleston Internet Marketing, I connect businesses to their target market! I also love to speak to various organizations on Networking, Social Media and Attitude Amid the Chaos!\nWhat do you enjoy doing outside of your career? MJ: I love reading. Anything and everything. I also love gardening. Something about planning, selecting, arranging, and then of course, watching it grow. I love tackling a complicated recipe and making it my own. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn\u2019t. I used to love traveling and still have moments of wanderlust, but all in all, I love just being home. Life\u2019s pretty simple and sweet here in the Lowcountry. ES: Exercising, traveling, boating, personal development, spending time with my family and friends.\nHow long have you been a member of the Center for Women? MJ: Couple of years. ES: I am a new member!\nWhat inspired you to become a member? MJ: I was impressed the first time I met Jennet at a site visit to C4W for a Women Making a Difference grant. The C4W truly has made a difference in the lives of Lowcountry women. ES: I love what the Center For Women does for our community as a whole. It truly makes a difference in the lives of women!\nWhat kind of impact has the Center for Women had on you? MJ: The Center has a vast cadre of programs. I\u2019ve learned so much and, at the same time, been able to meet and network with so many fantastic Lowcountry women! ES: Jennet and Amanda have provided me with a number of opportunities to teach, learn and grow in the C4W Environment. Additionally, I am always inspired by the number of powerful women that we have here in Charleston. It has been amazing to connect with them!\nHow has living day-to-day as a woman affected you? MJ: As most women, my day-to-day life is based on my relationships. I understand that women connect differently than men and that our relationships are our support systems to be able to deal with all of life\u2019s successes and failures. So, I work very hard to nurture those relationships. ES: Being an entrepreneur and a single mom has been quite a wild ride! I have built 2 companies and am starting on a 3rd (StoryClub!). Some days it seems that every second is filled with activities. But we manage to fit everything in and still have some down time. I certainly couldn\u2019t have done any of it without my support system \u2013 my good friends that love my children as their own, and all the members of the community that I can count on to help me with anything I need. I am eternally grateful!\nWhat kind of message would you like to send out to women who are trying to succeed in today\u2019s economy? MJ: Connect with other women! I read somewhere that spending time with friends is just as important to our health as working out. So cherish your girlfriends. Make time and plan get-togethers. You\u2019ll be amazed at the inspiration and motivation that a little \u2018girlfriend therapy\u2019 offers! ES: For most of us, when things are going great, it\u2019s easy to be good. It\u2019s easy to be happy. But when things are not going that great, we get sad, negative and pessimistic. Sometimes, it\u2019s very hard to look around and be grateful for the blessings we have. However, through whatever, challenges you are facing, you have to condition your mind to where very little could shake you and take you down. Know that without challenges, without setbacks, without difficulties, without chaos, you could never reach your full potential in your life. Take your challenges and tell them that they will not defeat you! YOU have a big purpose in your life and you should be determined to become who you know you are. You are powerful beyond measure! You playing it small with your attitude doesn\u2019t serve you and it certainly doesn\u2019t serve the world. Remember that you will always get what you give \u2013 and where your focus goes, energy flows. What you focus on will determine your outlook on life. Make sure you are focusing on the good news of THE BRIGHT SIDE which will change your attitude, your outlook and ultimately, your life!\nhttp://www.storyclubgames.com/\nhttps://www.facebook.com/marcie.jacobs\nhttps://www.facebook.com/StoryClubGames\nhttps://twitter.com/Marcie_Jacobs\nhttp://www.linkedin.com/in/marciejacobs\nhttp://www.facebook.com/ellenstebbins\nhttp://www.facebook.com/thelowcountrybusinessnetwork\nhttp://www.facebook.com/charlestoninternetmarketing\n* Women Stories Laughter\nIn celebration of Mom\u2019s Day, surprise all the women in your life with exactly what they need\u2026the best girls\u2019 night ever with a StoryClub Game!

Owner & CEO, Charleston Cookie Company\nWhat do you enjoy doing outside of your career? Photography, cooking, listening to classical music and reading\nHow long have you been a member of the Center for Women? 12 years\nWhat inspired you to become a member? It seemed like a good idea? (sorry, it\u2019s been long enough \u2013 pre Jennet \u2013 that I can\u2019t remember)\nWhat kind of impact has the Center for Women had on you? Networking with the women who are members at the Center has helped me build my business. I feel I owe an enormous debt of gratitude to the Center for all of the opportunities I have been offered to spread the word about Charleston Cookie Company.\nHow has living day-to-day as a woman affected you? Since I have no basis for comparison to any other way of living (sorry, I couldn\u2019t resist), I\u2019d have to say that living as a woman has had its challenges, but also its advantages. It may not be politically correct to say this, but the fact that I\u2019m an attractive woman proved to be advantageous to my career in the mid-70s when corporations finally accepted the fact that they had to begin to hire women. Smart and attractive was a winning combination and I used those qualities to get me where I wanted to go! I\u2019m shameless and I\u2019ll admit it.\nWhat kind of message would you like to send out to women who are trying to succeed in today\u2019s economy? Don\u2019t let ANYONE, male or female, tell you that you don\u2019t deserve to be successful. Women still have a tendency to devalue their worth and to put others ahead of themselves. That\u2019s just not a winning attitude.\nTags:center for women, networking, Small Business, woman entreprenuer, women in business\nC4W Board Member Profile: Jennifer Dyer Buddin\nWhat is your profession? I\u2019m a \u201cword of mouth connector\u201d polling thousands of women about the businesses they trust and rely upon and asking those referred businesses to be a part of our free directory, The Little Black Book for every busy woman. I\u2019m also passionate about entrepreneurship and helping connect people to resources and information.\nWhat do you enjoy doing outside of your career? My absolute happiest moments are when I\u2019m outdoors, piddling around my house or laughing with family and friends. My husband Howard and I spend a lot of time taking walks, hiking, camping, canoeing or swimming; I think in my next life, I\u2019ll be a fish \u2013 evolved back into the sea. Tinkering around my house with my apron on, baking, moving things around, working in the yard, it all makes me feel calm and serene. Laughter is a big part of my life and lucky for me I\u2019ve got lots of hilarious friends. I\u2019m a part of the Theatre 99 family and the comedy improv groups Mary Kay has a Posse, Hot Pants and Tone Locos, a musical improv group. Improvising frees my brain and never stops teaching or entertaining me.\nHow long have you been a member of the Center for Women? The Center was one of the first groups I joined upon starting my business right out of college \u2013 11 years ago in 2011.\nWhat inspired you to become a member? The services and programs offered for entrepreneurs initially compelled me to join, and thankfully I did because some of my most valued mentors were developed through the Center and great friendships as well. Now, I also do my best to help facilitate the mission of helping other women everyday as much as I can by sharing any knowledge I have gleaned from my personal experiences.\nWhat kind of impact has the Center for Women had on you? The Center is so \u201cfull circle\u201d for me. I grew up in North Georgia \u2013 all \u201cmy people\u201d are from there \u2013 and when you\u2019re in a new city or a new phase in life, you need help, resources, support and encouragement \u2013 you need some more \u201cpeople\u201d. My business was founded upon that need and the Center helped fill it. Now, The Center for Women is a \u201csister organization\u201d to WomenSource in my hometown of Gainesville, GA. That connection is illustrative of my experience \u2013 helping women broadens our horizons and brings us back home.\nHow has living day-to-day as a woman affected you? It\u2019s affected me a lot hormonally; I mean there are a lot of ups and downs. (rim shot!) Seriously though, I truly believe that empowering women changes worlds. The way we communicate and share with one another, take care of what and who needs to be taken care of and then help each other out instinctively \u2013 it\u2019s powerful and I\u2019m glad to be a part of it. Thank you X chromosome!\nWhat kind of message would you like to send out to women who are trying to succeed in today\u2019s economy? We\u2019re experiencing a paradigm shift. Lots of things are changing \u2013 new technology, financial uncertainty and access to capital, the way people communicate and process information, on and on. When things are shifting, you\u2019ve got to pay attention and let yourself be affected by it. If the old way of doing things isn\u2019t working, get creative and find new ways of doing business that do work.\nTags:center for women, woman entreprenuer, women business owner, womensource",

        "raw_content": "Toronto stock market set for rebound if oil prices recover: Reuters poll\nTORONTO (Reuters) - Investors see value in Toronto\u2019s commodity-linked stock market and expect it to rebound in 2019 as the global economy continues to grow and on hopes for the price of Canadian heavy crude to recover, a Reuters poll shows.\nFILE PHOTO: The Toronto Stock Exchange sign is seen in Toronto, Ontario, Canada July 6, 2017. REUTERS/Chris Helgren\nThe median forecast of 28 portfolio managers and strategists polled was for a more than 9 percent increase in the S&P/TSX composite index from its Monday close to 16,425 by the end of 2019. The TSE dipped 0.3 percent to 14,967 on Tuesday.\nOf 10 investors who answered a separate question on the index\u2019s valuation, six said it was cheap and four said it was fairly valued. None said it was expensive.\n\u201cWe view the equity market in Canada to be attractively valued not only against its own history but also relative to the S&P 500 Index,\u201d said Philip Petursson, chief investment strategist at Manulife Investments.\nThe price-earnings ratio, a measure of valuation, for the TSX is 14.2, according to Refinitiv Eikon data, much less than the 18.6 price multiple for the S&P 500.\nToronto\u2019s index has declined 9.5 percent since it notched a record high of 16,586.46 in July as a slump in oil prices, rising global trade tensions and higher bond yields offset a boost to sentiment from a deal to revamp the North American Free Trade Agreement. Since the start of the year, the index is down more than 7 percent.\nInvestors expect economic growth to remain strong enough for companies to continue to increase profits even if some expect earnings growth to be slower.\n\u201cWe are staying quite positive for the coming quarters,\u201d said Mathieu D\u2019Anjou, a senior economist at Desjardins Securities. \u201cProfit levels are high and we are expecting a generally positive economic context next year and a rebound in Canadian and international oil prices.\u201d\nThe price of oil has slumped more than 30 percent since October while a large discount for Canadian heavy crude has added to the headwinds for Canada\u2019s energy sector.\nWestern Canadian Select (WCS) traded last month as much as $52.50 per barrel below West Texas Intermediate light oil, the biggest differential in data going back to 2010, according to Shorcan Energy Brokers. The discount has since narrowed to about $37.\n\u201cIf energy differentials can narrow we could see another move higher in the energy group,\u201d said Greg Taylor, a portfolio manager at Purpose Investments. \u201cEnergy stocks look attractive at these levels as the companies continue to improve their operations in the low price environment.\u201d\nThe energy sector has fallen 22 percent since the start of the year, while financials, which account for about one-third of the weight of the TSX, have declined 7 percent. U.S. crude was up 0.7 percent to $52.03 on Tuesday.\nCompetition for deposits among Canada\u2019s biggest banks is heating up for the first time since the global financial crisis, leading to higher funding costs that could crimp profit growth in their domestic businesses over the next two years, analysts said.\nThe Bank of Canada has been raising interest rates to help cool the domestic economy, which has been operating near capacity. But auto production, one of the country\u2019s biggest industries, could be hurt after General Motors Co said on Monday it would close its plant in Oshawa, Ontario, east of Toronto.\nStill, Canada\u2019s housing market has not had the hard landing some investors have feared and the federal government announced measures last week that could help make businesses more competitive at a time when the United States is aggressively cutting taxes.\nOttawa will reduce the average overall tax rate in Canada on new business investment to 13.8 percent from 17.0 percent, the lowest level in the Group of Seven large industrialized nations.\nTo read other stories from the Reuters global stock markets poll)",

Rihanna, who just released a new album, is also reported to be a potential performer.\nWhile there is no definitive way to quantify it, spikes in sales and on social media suggest a significant Super Bowl effect.\nLast year, 118 million U.S. viewers tuned in to Perry\u2019s pyrotechnics-laden extravaganza featuring a 1,600-pound robotic lion and dancing sharks.\nDespite no new album or U.S. tour last year, sales of Perry\u2019s existing work surged 92 percent in the week after her performance.

        "raw_content": "Rocky U.S. markets highlight retirement insecurity\nNEW YORK (Reuters) - With Americans relying more heavily than ever on the stock market to fund their retirements, Wall Street\u2019s slide has some starting to worry they will struggle financially in old age.\nEven worse, the housing crisis has reduced what employees are able to sock away, and some are even tapping their retirement money for everyday expenses like food and gasoline.\nAll this has reopened a debate over 401(k) retirement plans offered by many employers in the United States, which give employees responsibility to save for their own retirements and also some control over their investments.\n\u201cThe 401(k) system today in the United States has been an acknowledged failure,\u201d said Alicia Munnell, director of the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College\u2019s Carroll School of Management. \u201cIt transferred all the risks and responsibilities from the employer to the individual.\u201d\nThe decline in the market has highlighted those risks. Share indexes on Wall Street have lost 14 percent of their value since hitting a peak in October. For someone retiring now with say, $500,000 in savings, that would translate into a drop of around $70,000.\nPeter Mitchell, a 65-year old former mechanic, is the kind of person who normally wouldn\u2019t give two cents about the market\u2019s ups and downs. But, having retired to New York city from California late last year, he is stressing about the effect of market volatility on his nest egg.\n\u201cYou\u2019re going to see me out here on the street asking for change,\u201d he said.\nMillions of other Americans who are in or nearing retirement have similar concerns about their finances.\n\u201cIt\u2019s driving home to people that the market is volatile and it does move in erratic ways. You could be in a very different place six months from now than where you are today,\u201d said Dean Baker, chief economist at the Center for Economic and Policy Research, a think tank in Washington.\nBefore 1980, workers relied on so called defined-benefit plans managed by their employers, in which the size of their pensions were independent of the performance of the investments in the funds.\nThose have been gradually overtaken by 401(k) plans, also called defined-contribution plans because employees define how much they want to contribute to their retirement.\nBy 2005, 42 percent of employees were participating in defined-contribution plans, while participation in defined-benefit plans had fallen to 21 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.\nBUY AND HOLD, BUT HOLD TIGHT\nOf course, financial advisors, who make a living from giving people investment tips, say that the best strategy is still to hold one\u2019s nose through the tough times and rest assured that, over the long-run, stocks tend to be the best performing assets.\n\u201cIn times of market volatility, often the best move investors can make with their 401(k)s is to sit tight and do nothing at all,\u201d said Greg McBride, senior financial analyst at Bankrate.com in North Palm Beach, Florida.\n\u201cThe cycles of the economy and the broader market are not a reflection of the long-term merits of a 401(k), any more than a winter snow storm heralds the next ice age.\u201d\nThat may have been true in recent years, but skeptics say that theory is untested in times of extreme market stress or a prolonged economic downturn.\n\u201cOlder workers, say over 45 to 50 years old, definitely miss the certainty of the traditional defined benefit plan,\u201d said Geza Marx, managing partner at Malcroft Asset Management in New York.\n\u201cWe always worry about inflation eroding our \u2018real\u2019 purchasing power, as well as if we are putting away enough money for the future,\u201d said Marx.\nAgainst the backdrop of the biggest slump in housing prices since the Great Depression, the historical trend of continuously rising stock prices becomes less reassuring for retirees: Between 1929 and 1933, the S&P 500 lost 86 percent of its value.\nWhile few believe a similar downturn is imminent, there is plenty of cause for concern. Fidelity Investments, a mutual fund company, reported a 17 percent increase in emergency withdrawals from retirement plans in 2007.\nThat is backed up by other, more anecdotal evidence.\n\u201cThere are areas in the country where economically things are more challenging, for example Michigan, and in those spots we think there is an increase in people taking loans or hardship withdrawals,\u201d said David Wray, president of the ProfitSharing/401k Council of America, an association of employers in Chicago.\nGreat-West Retirement Services, a company that oversees more than $115 billion in assets, found a 20 percent increase in the number of people citing \u201cavoiding eviction or foreclosure\u201d as the reason for emergency withdrawals in January 2008, compared with the same month last year.\nFor less financially inclined individuals, the countless investment options in their 401(k) plans is of little comfort. In fact, some say that when it comes to retirement choices, less is more.\n\u201cA lot of people would be very happy to lock in a secure benefit,\u201d said Baker, from the Center for Economic Policy Research.\nMaryland and Washington are already considering setting up defined-benefit plans for people who live there, in which those states would take on some of the risks currently carried by workers.\nThe yearning for greater stability is not surprising given the rollercoaster facing soon-to-be retirees.\n\u201c401k plans are really too hard for individuals to navigate,\u201d said Boston College\u2019s Munnell. \u201cPeople make mistakes at every step along the line. The balances that are showing up are quite small and are going to provide a grossly inadequate retirement income.\u201d\nMunnell, herself nearing retirement, added, \u201cEven I look at the markets and am scared.\u201d",

However, while the policies and procedures are required, no instructor would be forced to use OER. The guidelines can also address the use of \"low-cost commercially published materials.\"\nThe addition was tacked onto other regulations related to textbook selection and availability of course materials on campus for students who can't afford the cost.\nOER isn't new for the state's schools. In 2015, Virginia's community colleges piloted a program to replace textbooks with OER in specific programs. And Tidewater Community College has launched multiple degree programs with \"zero textbook costs.\"\nThe bill's approval follows on the heels of a $5 million federal competitive grant pilot program, announced in late March, to support projects at colleges and universities across the country to \"create new open textbooks or expand their use in order to achieve savings for students while maintaining or improving instruction and student learning outcomes.\"",

        "title": "Investing Lessons From the Poker Table | Canadian Couch Potato",
        "raw_content": "Investing Lessons From the Poker Table\nCanadian Couch Potato2010-09-08T13:54:38+00:00August 27th, 2010|Categories: Behavioral Finance|10 Comments\nThis week I beat a group of seniors and took $200 from them.\nNo, I\u2019m not a purse-snatching hooligan who preys on the elderly. I\u2019m just a guy who loves to play poker, and on Tuesday I took a day off to visit the local casino, where I played poker at a table with several amiable older gentlemen. The experience got me thinking about how poker and investing teach many of the same lessons:\nShort-term results are meaningless. I\u2019ve played poker alongside some truly bad players who always seem to hit miracle straights or flushes and scoop big pots. When these players beat you, it can make you wonder whether you should be playing differently \u2014 maybe you should start playing more hands, or calling big bets with weak draws, since it seems to be working so well for that guy. Investors fall into this same trap when they second-guess the Couch Potato strategy during every period of poor returns. In both poker and investing, you need to stick to a proven strategy: you will succeed in the long run, even if you have to suffer streaks of bad luck.\nPlay the percentages, not hunches. Succeeding at poker comes from understanding the odds. I often hear players say they \u201chad a good feeling\u201d about a certain hand, or that they\u2019re \u201crunning good,\u201d so they\u2019re going to play a hand they otherwise would fold. This is nonsense. The odds of your pair of sevens beating my pair of kings are always one in five, regardless of whether you feel lucky. In the same way, if you invest based on hunches, intuition or forecasts, you\u2019re likely to fare as well as the poker player with the long-shot hand. You might be one of the small number of active investors who beats the market, but most of the time you won\u2019t.\nOverconfidence will kill you. The casino table always includes a few 22-year-olds with backwards baseball caps who watch too much poker on TV. These guys are often good players, but they\u2019re way too cocky. No matter how skilled they are, they can\u2019t control what card the dealer will turn over next. I think of these players when I hear pundits making confident statements about why gold is going up, or the US dollar is going down, or why China is the place to invest. They may be experts in business and economics, but they have no ability to predict where the market is headed.\nSuccess comes in spurts. I have had days when I lost for hours on end\u2014then all of a sudden I drag three big pots and I have a pile of chips. Just as no poker player wins at a consistent rate, equity investors don\u2019t earn slow, steady returns. Buy-and-hold investors will often go months of alternating small gains and small losses, only to enjoy sudden bursts of good returns \u2014 usually when they\u2019re least expected. The reason market timing usually fails is that investors are often out of the market during the biggest days and weeks.\nEmotional control is essential. It\u2019s hard to endure a run of bad luck at cards, and lot of players simply can\u2019t handle it. They get so frustrated that they start play badly, and they stop caring that they\u2019re losing money. Poker players call this going on tilt. Emotional control is even more important in investing. No matter which strategy you use, success or failure usually comes down to whether you can hold on through the difficult months and years without losing your nerve.\nThe house always wins. You can have winning days and losing days at the poker table, but there\u2019s one certainty: the dealer always rakes a few dollars from every pot. If the house\u2019s take is too steep, you may wind up losing money even when you win your share of pots. As all index investors know, even if your fund manager can beat the benchmark by 1% every year before costs (a rare feat, to be sure), he\u2019s not adding value if he\u2019s subtracting a 2% fee and leaving you with below-market returns.\nEcho August 27, 2010 at 1:06 am\nDefinitely need to keep your emotions in check. Too often people chase after the new hot strategy, or have to get in on the IPO. There are many good investment strategies out there. The best strategy is to find one that works for you and stick with it for the long run.\n@Echo: I completely agree. Just completed a feature for the next issue of MoneySense that looks at six different investing strategies. The conclusion: they all did well if you had the fortitude to stick with them. If you bailed during the inevitable rough patches, you got killed.\nEcho August 27, 2010 at 12:59 pm\nSounds like a good article, can\u2019t wait to read it. I have to admit, when I first opened a discount brokerage acccount it was in the Spring of last year and I was sold on the Dogs of the TSX strategy after reading about it from David Stanley. I was going to rebalance with the new dogs every Spring.\nAt the time, many of the \u201cdogs\u201d were banks and telecoms and I picked up BNS, CM, BMO, T, BCE for really really cheap. Months later I thought to myself, why would I sell these companies? They grow their dividends and have good balance sheets, great for long term investing. That\u2019s when I converted to dividend growth investing\u2026the yield on cost alone for BCE and T are now over 7%. Hopefully we get some dividend growth in the financial sector soon too.\nIan Brennan August 27, 2010 at 4:57 pm\nYou have a lot of credibility in my eyes, but are not doing yourself any favours by quoting the \u201cbest 10 days\u201d statistical mumbo jumbo. This has long been used by sales people to support the idea of putting money into mutual funds. I have to believe they don\u2019t feel people can think for themselves. As I see it, the best 10 days occur mostly during the periods of highest volatility in the market. This would also be the periods when we tend to see the worst 10 days. My experience says the market goes down a lot faster than it goes up, so I would rather be out of the market for the 10 worst days, than in the market for the 10 best days. Your passive investing approach obviously works, but it isn\u2019t because of the best 10 days in the market. It would seem an advancing market has more up days than down days. Don\u2019t take my word for it, check it out.\n@Ian: Fair enough. I agree that the idea of \u201cmissing the best 10 days\u201d is clearly impossible: no market timer would be so unlucky to miss only those days. My point was simply that being fully invested all the time offers the best chance of success for the long-term investor because market moves often occur quickly and unpredictably.\nPTDBD August 30, 2010 at 11:10 am\nYou neglect to consider that the game may be rigged. Not only does the house have advantage, but they may also have shills in the game that are dealt outstanding cards for crucial hands for which their chips are unlimited.\nInteresting analogies with poker. Another area that fascinates me is the analogies that can be made between market behaviour and climate change (the field I mostly work in).\nWeather forecasters can predict the weather fairly accurately one or two days out, with accuracy declining rapidly beyond that. Predicting short-term changes in climate (which is essentially the \u201caverage weather\u201d), such as predicting whether next winter will be colder or warmer than usual, is little more than a crapshoot even if it\u2019s based on known factors such as the state of El Ni\u00f1o. This is similar to investors trying to predict how markets will behave over the next six months or a year.\nOver the longer term, climatic indicators such as global average temperature behave in similar ways to the stock market, with lots of ups and downs, random noise, and some apparent cycles that may or may not be truly cyclical. But long-term trends are evident amid the noise, and it\u2019s actually possible to predict the general tendency of the global temperature over a period of decades with more confidence than you can predict next week\u2019s weather.\nFinancial Cents August 30, 2010 at 1:49 pm\nTrue \u2013 the house always wins \u2013 but you can be your own \u201chouse\u201d if you stay invested\u2026akin to whatever investing strategy you choose, stick with it, stay invested. On that note Dan, looking forward to your next MoneySense article.\nSteve in Oakville September 1, 2010 at 10:56 pm\nIf poker isn\u2019t an analogy for life, I really don\u2019t know what is. It\u2019s the element of chance in poker, as in life, that keeps us coming back to the table.\nWith respect to passive investing, the great thing is that the house doesn\u2019t even have the edge! The evidence says that if you just sit at the table long enough, you\u2019ll beat practically everyone else at the table.\nGood stuff Dan \u2013 hope you had a good summer.\nCanadian Personal Finance & Investing Carnival January 9, 2011 at 7:06 pm\n[\u2026] Couch Potato presents Investing Lessons From the Poker Table, saying, \u201cI\u2019m just a guy who loves to play poker, and on Tuesday I took a day off to visit [\u2026]",

She said:\n\u201cThe data shows mental health services are under pressure across the country. That is consistent with stories from staff and people seeking to access mental health services.\u201d\nThe ministry\u2019s director of mental health, Dr John Crawshaw, said progress had been made on suicide prevention, but not enough.\n\u201cSuicide rates in New Zealand generally had been decreasing but more recently they\u2019ve plateaued and that\u2019s not good enough.\n\u201cThis trend is also reflected in the rates for those accessing mental health services. The statistics are still too high and collectively, we all need to do more.\u201d\nThe Auckland DHB said that at any one time it has more than 6800 people receiving care from mental health and addiction services provided or funded by the DHB.\nCare Alliance comment: it is deeply ironic and regrettable that the Greens are simultaneously campaigning on remedying flaws in the public mental health system and advocating publicly provided euthanasia.

This type of coverage typically costs more but offers guarantees, cash-value, or an amount of money you can trade in the policy for at any time. As you pay into the policy, the cash value increases often and you may even be able to stop making premium payments in the future.\nThis is a type of cash-value coverage where your premium payments are invested in sub-accounts, very similar to mutual funds.

        "raw_content": "Speak Out: Advocacy in Action\nBy Judith Myers\nSpeak out for those who cannot speak, for the rights of all the destitute. Speak out, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy. \u2013 Proverbs 31:8-9\nI preached a sermon a few years back. It was for the Sunday I returned from CBF General Assembly in Dallas. On one of the last evenings, I had it completed. I felt good. Then my computer crashed. Three days until Sunday and I had nothing. At the time, I was livid. I had worked hard on that sermon! Then I encountered our last worship service. We were commissioning the new field personnel and chaplains; sending them out in the world to live boldly and live out their call. I ended up writing a completely different sermon, titled Don\u2019t Miss the Moment. It was a sermon that showed my pride for CBF and the people that aren\u2019t missing the moment. They understand that life is urgent. They are living boldly\u2014a challenge to all of Jesus\u2019 followers.\nThis past semester was one for the books. On top of taking classes that were clearly evolving the way I minister, I had the opportunity to travel to two amazing places. The first was El Paso, Texas/Juarez, Mexico with the Baptist Peace Fellowship of North America. I was able to learn about immigration and the policies that are in place at the border. You can learn more about my experience here, or you can join us at Peace Camp in 2016!\nA few weeks after my trip to the border, I was able to take what I learned about immigration and our broken system to Advocacy in Action. There I learned how to use my voice and the resources that were around. I learned the importance of a Christian\u2019s role in advocacy, what the Bible says about it, and why it\u2019s a part of our calling. Then I got to use my voice and be a part of something awesome during Lobby Day.\nI\u2019m grateful. Being a part of an organization that creates and executes events like Advocacy in Action makes me ecstatic to be young clergy of CBF.\nThis was my second time experiencing Advocacy in Action. I hope to make it a tradition- to see how it grows and flourishes into something really beautiful. I was just as excited this time around- especially since I was going to hear from Sue and Greg Smith, Field Personnel working with LUCHA ministries. They work with immigrants every day, and I was excited to process my border trip with them. Our group spent the first afternoon in conversation about immigration and payday lending.\nWe talked about why Christians are called to be a voice for the voiceless, why we are called to love one another, to be their advocate, to speak out. During the week, we also met with Melissa Rogers- Special Assistant to the President and Executive Director of the White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships at the White House Eisenhower Executive Office building. It was an honor to learn from her and the different ways that she is using her skills to help our nation\u2019s leaders.\nWe met with the staff from Bread for the World, Baptist Joint Committee, and the New Baptist Covenant. We learned their stories and how they\u2019re a part of the big things happening on Capitol Hill and in the DC area. Kasey Jones, now past moderator of CBF, spoke to us as the pastor of National Baptist Memorial Church. The congregation she leads plays a large role in the Columbia Heights neighborhood. They provide those in need with their hunger ministry and clothes closet. In the summer, they host a camp for kids.\nAll of these opportunities helped us form together a new community, a community of action. We culminated our time together on the Hill. I, along with several other Virginia residents,spoke with the staff of our representatives. We spoke to them about the good work of Bread for the World. We spoke about the upcoming bills about child nutrition, as well as the brokenness we feel as predatory lending traps those in need of a way out of debt.\nOur voices were heard. We listened, we prayed, and we talked. We didn\u2019t miss the moment. We acted boldly.\nSince returning from Washington, D.C., I\u2019ve been able to act boldly in response to my experiences. I was present for a payday lending conference. We listened to stories about the horror behind what these debt traps can do to people in a financial crises. I met with David Bailey of David Bailey Associates. It\u2019s a \u201cfull-service public relations, government affairs, and lobbying firm located immediately adjacent to the state capitol in Richmond.\u201d (www.dbava.com) We talked about the day-to-day activities of his office and how he influences state legislators. I traveled back to Washington, D.C., to be a part of the Hunger Justice Leaders program at Bread for the World. I learned the different resources and what it means to be passionate about hunger in our country and our world.\nThanks be to God for organizations like CBF, who are passionate about being the light of Christ to others in need. Thanks be to God for CBF and for the people involved that understand that life is urgent and who live boldly and speak out.\nJudith Myers is a CBF Leadership Scholar attending Baptist Theological Seminary at Richmond.\nPrevious post \u2190 Bivocational ministry? A Young Baptist\u2019s reflection\nNext post Millennials and the local church: Membership or belonging? \u2192\nOne thought on \u201cSpeak Out: Advocacy in Action\u201d\nOne of the many reasons that I love being a member of a CBF affiliated Church. This blog post invokes the urgency with which the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship meets the demands of being a disciple of the Lord Jesus in today\u2019s modern world.",

        "raw_content": "What the Other Guy Should be Doing\nMy spiritual teacher, Adyashanti, told us a story last week to illustrate a profound \u201caha\u201d about what it means to live authentically, to let go of the ego mind and all its \u2018shoulds,\u2019 and live from our true authenticate selves.\nWhen he was a young man in his twenties he worked in a bike repair shop. It was a busy place and everyone scrambled to get all the work done that had to be done that day. The repair manager didn\u2019t pitch in and help. He sat at his bench with his tools in front of him and read magazines. When asked why he didn\u2019t help, he would say, that he was not paid to do anything; that his job was to make sure that they did what they were supposed to do.\nThis attitude didn\u2019t sit well with my teacher. He suffered watching this able-bodied manager sitting there doing nothing but reading magazines while everyone else raced around to get the day\u2019s work done. It really upset him. The more he thought about it, the more it upset him. This went on for some time.\nThen, one day my teacher had an \u2018aha.\u2019 It came to him that he was upsetting himself because he had an idea of what his manager was supposed to be doing and the manager was not conforming to it. This idea of what should be happening was making him upset. Then he just let go.\nHe let go of his judgments about his manager. And, he let go of the endless mental activity around what he thought the manager should be doing.\nBy dropping into the now, my teacher understood that the manager was just the way he was and wasn\u2019t causing him any difficulty. In seeing this, he understood the truth and let go of the thoughts and ideas about his manager. From that day on he was free and happy.\nThis is true freedom. The freedom that comes from waking up from being identified with our thoughts and ideas about what should be, what should happen, and how others should behave, think, or believe. Once we let go of all the \u2018shoulds\u2019 we are free to live truly authentic lives.\nSo each time, I catch myself saying, \u201cshould\u201d I pause. Ah, that little ego-word is here I say gently to myself. Then I let it drop away as a leaf drops from the tree and I am happy.\nThis entry was posted in Awakening, Body/mind and tagged authentic living, ego mind, ideas, should be, should do, thoughts by Mary Slocum.

        "raw_content": "Before reading this, recall memories where you felt complete freedom. Cerebral palsy robs people of that feeling almost every second of the day. Sometimes, however, we forget we have cerebral palsy, and we live in the moment. I had such an experience a few weeks ago when my husband and I took our children along with my nephew to an amusement park.\nMy parents told me that I\u2019ve loved amusement parks since I was young. The faster the ride, the more fun I had. On those rides, cerebral palsy didn\u2019t exist for me. I felt weightless, adventurous, excited, and a little fearful. Most importantly, I felt like I fit in. Everyone else on the rides had similar experiences and feelings.\nMy parents were determined to have me experience what everyone else does, where possible. So, my father would carry me on rides, and my mom would hold me. My heart is filled with gratitude for my parents and their dedication to helping me have amazing experiences.\nMy husband can\u2019t take me on rides and supervise our children at the same time. When it\u2019s just the four of us, I sit it out. I do enjoy watching my children enjoy themselves, but it would be wonderful to ride the rides, too!\nThis summer, we asked my 15-year-old nephew to come with us. We thought it would be fun taking him, and he could ride with my daughter so she wouldn\u2019t have to go by herself. We also thought that the extra help could allow me to go on some rides.\nThe day turned out to be even more fun than expected. My nephew is tall for his age and very strong, so he offered to lift me. I was a little skeptical, but he convinced me to try it. I went with him while my daughter and my husband took my son on other rides. At first, I felt more nervous about him lifting me than the rides.\nThe first ride transfer was a bit bumpy; however, as the day continued, we got into a rhythm. As for accessibility, the park did well. I went to the customer service booth to fill out a form about my disability and they said that I could go on any ride if I could be transferred, except for one really crazy roller coaster.\nWe went on many rides that I had never thought I would. Twice, I rode the one that shoots people right up in the air and brings them down slowly. I also went on several roller coasters, even one with a 250-foot drop! My cerebral palsy manageable because I had taken one of my muscle relaxers in the morning.\nI\u2019m so happy we went. My daughter gave me a big hug and said, \u201cI\u2019m glad you\u2019re here and going on rides with us!\u201d I thanked my nephew several times for transferring me, and he said, \u201cThank you for going with me!\u201d\nTagged accessibility, adventure, amusement park, rides, roller coaster.\nPrevious: Systematic Approach Needed for Evaluation of Pain in Children with Medical Complexities\nNext:Children with Spastic CP Experience Lower Leg Fatigue When Walking, Study Shows",

        "raw_content": "Home Chicago-Local News Chicago native nominated to the U.S. Supreme Court\nChicago native nominated to the U.S. Supreme Court\nPresident Barack Obama nominated a prominent, high-achieving Chicago native to the Supreme Court on Wednesday, March 16. The nomination set up a showdown with Republicans who have vowed to prevent the commander in chief from exercising his duty with just eight months left in the White House.\nIn a Rose Garden ceremony at the White House, President Obama announced his intent to nominate Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court of the United States. Legal scholars say Garland, the Chief Judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit Court, has more federal judicial experience than any other Supreme Court nominee in history. Born in Chicago, Garland graduated as valedictorian at Niles West High School in Skokie.\nFROM CHICAGO TO the Supreme Court, Merrick\u2019s nomination sets up a shown between President Barack Obama and Republicans, who aim to block the appointment of Merrick Garland to the nation\u2019s highest court\nObama praised his nominee as a man of high principles and character.\n\u201cTo find someone with such a long career of public service, marked by complex and sensitive issues; to find someone who just about everyone not only respects, but genuinely like-that is rare. And it speaks to who Merrick Garland is \u2013 not just as a lawyer, but as a man.\u201d\nIf confirmed by the Senate, Garland would replace Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, who died last month while on a trip in Texas.\nLegal scholars also said Obama\u2019s nominee would be difficult for Republicans to reject because of qualifications and moderate views on issues.\nFormer U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder tweeted his reaction to Garland\u2019s nomination.\nThe Black Women\u2019s Roundtable/National Coalition issued a statement that says, \u201cWe support President Obama\u2019s nomination. We strongly urged the U.S. Senate to live up to its constitutional responsibility and grant Judge Garland a fair committee hearing and an up or down vote in the full Senate.\nJesse L. Jackson Sr., founder of the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, said in a statement, \u201cWe hope and fully expect Republicans in the United States Senate will rise above obstructionist politics, do their duty, obey the U.S. Constitution they swore to uphold and give President Barack Obama\u2019s sterling Supreme Court nominee, Judge Merrick Garland, a fair hearing and then an up or down vote.\u201d\nCongresswoman Robin Kelly said in a statement, \u201c President Obama\u2019s choice of Chicago native Judge Merrick Garland as his nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court gives Congress the opportunity to fill this crucial vacancy with a jurist of unparalleled experience and legal acumen. Garland has proven himself to be one of the best appellate judges in the country and his track record as a consensus builder has earned him bipartisan praise throughout his career.\u201d\nGarland was confirmed to the D.C. Circuit Court 76-23, with majority support from both Republicans and Democrats. He has served for 19 years on that court \u2013 often considered the most important appellate court in the nation. For over 3 years, he has been the Chief Judge of the D.C. Circuit, continuing to distinguish himself as one of the most impressive judges in the country. He has cultivated a reputation as a brilliant, meticulous judge with a knack for building consensus, playing it straight, and deciding every case based on what the law requires.\nChief Justice John Roberts, Garland\u2019s colleague on the D.C. Circuit, once said that \u201canytime Judge Garland disagrees, you know you\u2019re in a difficult area.\u201d In 2010, as the Senate was beginning the process of confirming a successor to Justice John Paul Stevens, Senator Orrin Hatch said he saw Garland as \u201ca consensus nominee\u201d for the Supreme Court, adding \u201cI have no doubts that Garland would get a lot of [Senate] votes. And I will do my best to help him get them.\u201d\nGarland was born and raised in Illinois, by a mother who served as a community volunteer and a father who ran a small business out of the family home. His grandparents immigrated to the United States to escape persecution and find a better life. He won scholarships to attend Harvard University \u2013 where he graduated summa cum laude \u2013 and Harvard Law School, paying his way by taking a summer job as a shoe store stock clerk, selling his comic book collection and counseling undergraduates.\nGarland began his career as a clerk for legendary Second Circuit Judge Henry Friendly and then Supreme Court Justice William Brennan. In just four years, Chief Judge Garland became a partner at a prominent law firm, with a practice focused on litigation and pro bono representation of disadvantaged Americans.\nThroughout his career, Chief Judge Garland has demonstrated a commitment to putting his country first. In 1989, shortly after becoming a partner in private practice, Garland accepted a significant pay cut to became a federal prosecutor for the U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office for D.C. under the Administration of President George H.W. Bush, where he investigated and prosecuted cases involving public corruption, drug trafficking and fraud.\nHe later was selected as the Deputy Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division at the Department of Justice, and then as Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General. In these roles, he oversaw some of the most important federal criminal cases brought by the Department.\nIn the wake of the Oklahoma City Bombing in April 1995, he traveled to Oklahoma to oversee the case, and in the ensuing months coordinated every aspect of the government\u2019s response \u2013 working with federal agents, rescue workers, local officials, and others to bring the perpetrators to justice. He also kept in close touch with victims and their families throughout the case, and for several years afterwards as well. Later, former Oklahoma Governor Frank Keating, a Republican, wrote that, during his work on the Oklahoma City bombing case, Chief Judge Garland \u201cdistinguished himself in a situation where he had to lead a highly complicated investigation and make quick decisions during critical times.\u201d\nRose Garden ceremony\nPrevious articleTeacher Retention levels suffering\nNext articleVoters Send Loud Message as Alvarez Trounced by Foxx",

        "raw_content": "I just found out today that I\u2019ve been unaware that we had a \u201cDay Without Women\u201d coming up. I guess I did not get the memo or read the news or something. I was aware of the \u201cDay Without Immigrants,\u201d but this one totally got past my radar somehow. You know what? It has not affected my life in the least.\nSee, if my family had to go a day without me, there would be nobody to care for my little child, nobody to tend to the 2 sick siblings (another cold, alas), nobody to cook dinner for my husband when he returns from work today, nobody to do the laundry and other necessary chores that are considered part of my job. That would be totally unfair to my family and put an unnecessary burden on them today, and I know that the same would go for a \u201cDay Without Children\u201d (coming soon, since the kids are getting older and ready for life on their own)\u2013 that day will have me bawling my eyes out, I\u2019m afraid!\nOk, so I guess I am not understanding something. I do not \u201cget\u201d why we keep having these \u201cDays without __________\u201d (fill in the blank with women, immigrants, people with hair, people with no hair, etc.- sarcasm intended). I mean, if we had a \u201cDay Without Men,\u201d for example, and the men took the day off to \u201cprove\u201d that they will be missed and that they are an important part of society, there would be a definite loss for a day. The loss extends from the workplace all the way home!\nNo matter who takes the day off, everyone else will have to bear an extra burden. So, I am asking, \u201cSo, what?\u201d about all these \u201cdays without.\u201d We are all important members of society, are we not? We all have something to contribute to other people\u2019s lives every day. We all are missed when we are sick or absent from work, etc. Why do we feel the need to keep doing these things just to prove something? How about, instead, we have a day without crime, or a day without garbage, or something that would be useful to everyone? Ok, I\u2019m done now.\nWhat are your thoughts? Please note that unkind remarks will be promptly deleted, so play nice! \ud83d\ude42\nPosted in: Articles | Tagged: loss, without, women",

        "raw_content": "We Are! \ud83d\ude42\nDisclaimer: This article is not intended to elevate, alienate or promote one group of people over another. People tend to think if someone is right, then they are wrong\u2026well, not really. There is no judgment at all. I\u2019m simply establishing a target audience. \ud83d\ude42 Moving on\u2026..\nHigh level women don\u2019t consider whether or not we are better than someone else. There is no measurement at all, we are just being ourselves. \u201cYou think you\u2019re all that,\u201d and \u201cShe thinks she\u2019s better than us,\u201d are usually statements initiated from others and is done in an effort to minimize, criticize, or disrupt the well doings of the person it\u2019s aimed at.\nDepending on who we are, where we are in our careers, the unforgiveness we are holding on to, or the time of the month, our reaction may be a smile, dismissal, defense or we just may drop the hammer.\nThis was a common statement heard throughout my career and no matter what I did, or stopped doing because of the criticism; how small I shrank, or how hard I worked to appease the way others viewed me, people kept saying it.\nIt\u2019s exhausting to try to manage the opinions of others and once I stopped doing that, I\u2019m not sure whether people stopped talking about me or if I actually stopped letting it affect me. My goal is to educate women on how to better manage themselves if these statements have become a common part of their lives.\nConfidence Makes People Nervous\nA woman that exudes Level 10 confidence can shift the energy field when we walk into a room. People can see us from across the room and will react in a positive, negative or neutral manner based on their confidence level.\nAt a conference years ago, a friend disclosed that several groups of men asked her who I was and why I had so many high level medals (military personnel wear our resumes). As one of 5 women in the room (see my last article), I was oblivious to the side bar conversations because I was having a great time mingling with others. After that, I became self-conscious and noticed the roaming eyes and whispering. From that moment, the fun was over for me and in an effort not to be seen, I shrank back and stopped talking.\n\u201cSome of us can remember dramatic times when we were mocked for being different or manipulated into conformity. We can recall situations when we compromised who we were to avoid conflict. We gave away pieces of our integrity in order to get along with others\u2026 We did all we could to avoid the silence of ostracism or the sting of their judgment. We hoped, above all, to be secure, to be accepted, to belong.\u201d \u2013 Brendon Burchard\nPeople Measure Themselves Against Us\nHigh level women are not comfortable with status quo and are always seeking the next goal. We leave offices better than we found them by creating policies, structure and efficiencies to work smarter and not harder. We develop tunnel vision in the pursuit of our goals and are not aware that some people are comparing themselves to us.\nFour years after I replaced someone at an office, and grew the staff from 12 people to 22 people to manage our new roles, this lady was still talking about how I thought I was better than her. I said, \u201cReally? Because I haven\u2019t thought about her EVER, so why is she still thinking about me?\u201d\n\u201cWhen you get too comfortable and someone comes in that\u2019s not comfortable, you become their hater because their excitement convicts your comfortableness.\u201d\n-T.D. Jakes\nPeople Will Tear You Down\nOn one of my bosses\u2019 2nd day of work, he called me incompetent. I laughed in his face (probably not the best reaction) and walked out of the office laughing hysterically, trying to hide the pain behind the laugh. I thought, \u201cWhat did I do to deserve that? I\u2019ve been here for two years working endlessly for this office and he doesn\u2019t even know me.\u201d The following day, I wore the uniform that displayed my medals and he was stunned that I had achieved 8 personal awards in an 8 year period when he had only achieved 1 in a 12 year period. The stress and anxiety of working for this person was so immense, I started stuttering.\nAfter years of going in circles and constantly trying to manage the expectations of others, I was exhausted and felt like managing the public\u2019s perception had become a part-time job. The biggest denominator in these experiences was the fact that I put more time into trying to manage other people\u2019s opinion of me, and didn\u2019t spend that same amount of time in personal development.\nWe all have 24 hours in a day and we may be investing an inordinate amount of time seeking counsel from others for our stress, anxiety, depression, sulking, or drinking wine (hee hee) in an effort to understand other people\u2019s judgment of us. That time should be invested in personal growth to understand who we truly are and what we have to offer the world without apology.\nIf I would have invested more time in personal growth, I would have realized the issues that some people had toward me had nothing to do with me, it had everything to do with how they felt about themselves. Knowing this would have spared me from a lot of heartache, headaches, stress, anxiety, loss of sleep and a whole lot of negativity that I stored in my heart.\nWhen I finally unearthed the greatness of my human spirit that had been buried in the rubble, I realized I AM all of that. WE ALL ARE because we are fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of God.\nRecently I had lunch with someone, and as we were leaving, he said, \u201cYou think you are all that don\u2019t you?\u201d I smiled and said very nicely, \u201cThis is me. I am that I am. I cannot play small, shrink or do anything to make you more comfortable with being around me\u2026and that\u2019s okay. If you can\u2019t manage \u2018this\u2019 then.\u201d\u2026\u2026(shrugged shoulders with a look of \u201cyou know.\u201d)\nIt takes time and work to unearth your greatness, but if you are here 2 years from now, the time will pass anyway. Step into your greatness!!\nIs this a phrase commonly heard in your life or career? What do you think is the driving force behind the statement?\nOne thought on \u201cWhy High Level Women Think They\u2019re All That\u201d\nTheHonestTruth says:\nLosers Unfortunately think that way.",

Are you pouring time and energy into work that no longer has meaning for you and leaves you feeling unfulfilled? Or, do the costs of paying off student loans or raising a family in New York City have you feeling trapped in an unsatisfying but high-paying or stable career? You might feel stuck in your career and want to make a change, but you don\u2019t feel satisfied or empowered in your industry or work environment. You may have taken on a new position or leadership responsibilities that have you feeling unprepared or like an imposter. Perhaps you are having difficulty delegating responsibility and managing interpersonal office conflicts in ways that creates opportunity and growth rather than breakdowns in work relationships. Or, maybe you are transitioning from a paid position to being self-employed and wonder how the transition or change in finances will impact your partner or children. Do you want to move from a life of success to one of significance?\nYou may be in a position in which your company is downsizing and you need to find another job quickly. But, despite your professional successes, you may not feel confident in your ability to navigate the job market, engage in the interviewing process and find a position that fits your interests and needs. You might want to move to a new industry or a position that offers greater flexibility so you can have more work-life balance and joy in your life. But, you might question if you are taking too big of a risk in making a change or wonder if your dreams are just too big. Maybe you aren\u2019t sure what type of work you would find fulfilling and need help identifying and narrowing career options. Do you wish you could feel less stressed and more satisfied and confident in yourself, your decisions and the trajectory of your career?\nMany People Struggle to Navigate the Work Environment\nWhile our education and professional training provide the information we need to understand our field, few of us are ever taught how to navigate the work environment. Every company and organization is unique, and we don\u2019t always know the unwritten rules for how to manage conflict or build relationships at work. You may want to discuss career challenges, develop new skills or change industries, but these possibilities can feel difficult to navigate, and you may not know who you can trust to offer neutral, non-judgmental guidance and support. And in a fast-paced city like NYC, you might not feel like you can afford to make a change or step back to focus on your own professional needs.\nThe good news is that you don\u2019t have to navigate the stresses, uncertainties and possibilities of your work life alone. An experienced and skilled career coach in New York City can provide you with the resources, skills and practical strategies you need to find and foster a career that matches your values, skills and interests.\nGain Resources, Tools and Support with Career Counseling\nA career counselor can help you understand what you want and need to feel engaged and fulfilled at work. I offer a safe space where you can explore your ideal career, set goals and take practical steps toward creating a more satisfying and balanced professional life. You can address negative self-beliefs, patterns of behavior and interpersonal relationships that are impacting your perspective or sense of satisfaction at work. Whether you are trying to develop specific career skills or you need help identifying career options and feeling empowered to make a change, there are steps you can take to feel more empowered and fulfilled in the workplace.\nThroughout our career-focused work together, I incorporate tools, techniques and strategies tailored to your unique career goals and needs. You will begin by taking career assessments as a way to help look at your work preferences and leadership style. We will work collaboratively to identify career options that match your interests and explore the kind of work environments that are best suited to you. We might discover that you don\u2019t need to change positions or industries to feel happy and satisfied in your career. Rather, it might be that we need to explore the dynamics of your work environment and come up with practical steps you can take to feel empowered in your position and get financial, interpersonal and other important work-related needs met. Instead of focusing on obstacles, setbacks or performance difficulties, you can become more aware of your own strengths and develop the skills and confidence you need to better cope with stress, manage conflict and more effectively communicate in the workplace. You can begin thriving instead of just surviving.\nI have been working with women from all walks of life and ethnic backgrounds for 20 years, and I am committed to helping other women foster a sense of confidence and satisfaction in their lives and careers. In addition to my work as a therapist and coach, I have worked with executives, managers and staff at all levels as an Employee Assistance Provider providing training to help individuals recognize and share their needs in the workplace. With the guidance and support of a career counselor and stress management coach, you can build the confidence and skills you need to feel engaged, inspired and successful in your work.\nBut, you may still have questions or concerns about working with a career counselor\u2026\nI don\u2019t have time to meet with a career coach.\nYou may not feel like you have time to add anything else to your already busy schedule. But, consider how much time you spend every week dreading your job or procrastinating because you can\u2019t or don\u2019t want to focus on your work. Rather than spend your time worried, stressed or frustrated about work, you can re-delegate that time into identifying and addressing your career goals and creating a fulfilling professional life that you can be excited about.\nI\u2019m not sure I can afford career counseling.\nIt can be stressful budgeting in another expense, especially if you are dealing with a career change or potential job loss that will impact your finances.

        "title": "A Sense of Enlightenment",
        "raw_content": "A Sense of Enlightenment\nn 1784 Immanuel Kant described the Age of Enlightenment as \u201cman\u2019s emergence from his self-incurred immaturity.\u201d We often think about this age in terms of intellectual maturity: astonishing advances in philosophy, science, religion, and politics. The Enlightenment also, however, delved into obscure realms of the human condition. Among the more unusual were esoteric and occasionally bizarre innovations in the sensory realm.\nCarolyn Purnell\u2019s The Sensational Past: How the Enlightenment Changed the Way We Use Our Senses, is an intelligent, off-beat examination of the 18th century\u2019s interest in sensory functions. In particular, the history instructor and self-described \u201clover of bizarre facts\u201d set out to examine the different ways that people perceived, observed, and used sensory experiences in different aspects of their lives.\n\u201cThe dominant Enlightenment epistemology,\u201d according to Purnell, \u201cwas called \u2018sensationalism,\u2019 with other terms being sensationism, sensualism, or sensism.\u201d Several European philosophers, including John Locke, \u00c9tienne Bonnot de Condillac and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, studied sensationalism in depth. Many of sensationalism\u2019s followers believed that \u201chumans acquire all knowledge through their senses...every human experience is mediated through the senses, and sensory experience is the main way we develop and exercise our mental faculties.\u201d\nThis awakening of our senses led to some astonishing results, from sensible to senseless. For instance, Purnell wrote that if \u201cEnlightenment philosophy was born out of a critical spirit, a love of ideas, and a fascination with self-creation, the caf\u00e9 was its cradle.\u201d Seventeenth-century France, where \u201cthere was no shortage of places where one could get a drink,\u201d was the starting point in this trend. In 1647, regulations at drinking establishments like cabarets and taverns were established due to an increase in \u201cviolent behavior, gambling and prostitution.\u201d But just as this was happening, \u201cthe king\u2019s court was becoming increasingly infatuated with exotic liqueurs\u201d as new international products \u201cflooded the French market,\u201d including caffeine and spices.\nThis led to the rise of the limonadiers, or \u201clemonaders.\u201d People started flocking to these locations in search of flavored lemonades and drinks, candies, desserts, and liqueurs. Prices for these once-exotic items fell, making them affordable for a significant portion of society. \u201cIn a matter of decades,\u201d Purnell notes, \u201cthe limonadiers became one of the richest guilds in France.\u201d\nThere were also some mysterious concoctions being offered to the broader public. The citronella-based drink Water of Carmes, which supposedly \u201cstimulated memory and got rid of unpleasant fantasies,\u201d was popular for a time. Meanwhile, the Water of the Queen of Hungary was made of rosemary, a spice that some people firmly believed could prevent lethargy, sluggishness, and even paralysis.\nA few relatively harmless drinks aside, the senses of the Enlightenment occasionally ventured into some strange territory. Take the brief rise of \u201cprince poo.\u201d During the time of Marie-Antoinette in France, wealthy individuals \u201cspent the equivalent of thousands of dollars to wear the clothing the color of baby poop.\u201d This grotesque fashion choice was done \u201cas a way to show their support for the monarchy and to demonstrate how fashionable they could be.\u201d\nThere was also the cat piano. As the story goes, King Philip II of Spain brought his father, Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, a ridiculous contraption in 1549 \u201cwith twenty rather narrow boxes, each of which contained a cat\u201d that would produce a \u201clamentable meowing\u201d when a key was pressed. Purnell acknowledges that \u201cthere is no evidence that a cat piano ever existed,\u201d and could have been \u201ca long-lasting trope or conceit.\u201d Yet, this feline fascination somehow had \u201creal effects on musical theory and the development of novel instruments\u201d during the Enlightenment. This ranges from the macabre (pig piano, donkey chorus) to the genuine article (ocular harpsichord, perfume organ, liquor organ). As the author suggests, if \u201ccats could harmonize, then so could colors, sounds, taste, smells, textures\u2014just about anything a person could imagine.\u201d Hence, the cat piano had both the \u201cpower and ability to amuse\u201d as well as the ability to entice the imagination in song and sound.\nAs culinary tastes began to change, gastronomy was also transformed out during the Enlightenment. Food became a spectacle of colors rather than bland white and brown-looking dishes at every meal. French master chef Marie-Antoine Car\u00eame \u201cdispensed with overpowering aromas, which had traditionally hidden the foul odors of improperly stored foods,\u201d and favored \u201csimple and subtle scents like orange, rose and lemon.\u201d Culinary manuals and newspapers \u201cwere available at affordable prices\u201d to middle class families, \u201cand eating out was a much more common practice than it was fifty years earlier.\u201d\nCar\u00eame also started the practice of using pi\u00e8ces mont\u00e9es, or \u201clarge, sculptural centerpieces made out of edible substances like sugar and marzipan that weren\u2019t actually intended for consumption,\u201d to make a statement. He argued that \u201cthe principal branch of architecture is confectionary\u201d and, as Purnell pointed out, this enabled the dinner table to become \u201cthe place to display some of the finest arts of humankind.\u201d\nThe Sensational Past also provides ample evidence that some well-known and/or lesser known figures who lived during the Enlightenment, including the philosophes, followed the logic of sensationalism to many strange destinations. Benjamin Franklin argued that \u201cthe most useful contribution to science...would be a drug that would make flatulence the sweet-smelling life of the party.\u201d The Marquis de Sade \u201cpushed sensationalist philosophy to its extremes by creating dark, fictional worlds in which responses to pleasure and pain formed the core of all human action.\u201d Jean-Bernard M\u00e9rian felt that \u201cblindness should be seen as a social boon rather than an impairment\u201d and actually hoped that doctors would \u201cdevelop a special blindfold to ensure that the children\u2019s sight would be completely checked.\u201d\nIn short, Purnell\u2019s exquisite study of the Enlightenment shows that this important age was \u201cjust as much a social and cultural movement as an intellectual one.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "CRB Digital goes to the Oscars!\ne\u2019ve once again arrived at Oscar season, which means yet another onslaught of shameless predictions from underqualified film critics. Not to miss out on all the fun, here\u2019s CRB Digital's compilation of this year\u2019s Best Picture nominees, listed here in most-likely to win to least-likely to win, at least according to our reviewer. Topping the list is Steven Spielberg\u2019s dark horse candidate The Post, but with such a diverse batch of films and no clear front-runner yet, the award is anyone\u2019s for the taking....\nSteven Spielberg\u2019s new drama \u201cThe Post\u201d is an easy-going, highly-watchable tribute to journalism that seems tailor-made for the Fake News era. This is no accident; Spielberg admitted that he and his crew rushed through the production and editing in mere months, hoping to release the film at a moment when the role of journalism and its ability to hold the powerful into account would still be key in the public\u2019s mind.\nIn that regard\u2014and in many others\u2014the film succeeds, even if it does spell out its thematic goals a bit too obviously at times.\nThe film tells the story of Washington Post publisher Katherine Graham (played by the always-impeccable, occasional Trump target, Meryl Streep), who finds herself as the uncertain leader of the paper after inheriting the role from her late husband. Hounded by the decision to take her family-owned paper public on the stock exchange, Graham must balance her role at the Post with her elite Washington social life, all while facing down a cavalry of men who perceive her as incompetent and unsuited for the job. Graham herself isn\u2019t so sure she\u2019s up to the task.\nThe film\u2019s central drama begins when the New York Times gains access to the Pentagon Papers, documents proving the United States government deliberately spent years obfuscating the bleak reality of the Vietnam War. After the Times receives an injunction stopping it from publishing any more of the documents, the Post gains access to the same trove of classified material, at which point a decision must be made: should Graham not allow the Post to publish the documents, and so avoid possible jailtime and damage to the paper? Or should she take the advice of Post editor Ben Bradlee (portrayed here with charming gruff by Tom Hanks), who pushes Graham to challenge her powerful friends, defy the government, and establish the Post as an important journalistic institution?\nIt makes for compelling stuff, and while the film is rife with heavy-handed messages\u2014viewers should expect a lot of speeches about the importance of truth, of standing up to the powerful, and so on\u2014the film is so well-constructed that you likely won\u2019t care. Spielberg is operating here in the same groove as in his two recent films, Bridge of Spies and Lincoln, which is to say: expect a lot of people talking in rooms. But it\u2019s a testament to Spielberg\u2019s directing that ostensibly dull moments\u2014newspaper delivery trucks driving out of warehouses, for instance, or a bunch of sleep-deprived people standing around a desk\u2014are presented with such excitement and tension as to resemble an espionage thriller.\nPerhaps no other moment captures this kind of sly brilliance than does the film\u2019s climax, when Graham is on the phone, about to make the decision to publish or not. What makes this scene so compelling is its lightness: rather than jumping from shot to shot in a chaotic frenzy, Spielberg holds the camera over Streep\u2019s face for a gut-wrenching 24 seconds of complete silence (yes, I timed it) as she deliberates internally. That directorial restraint on Spielberg\u2019s part only heightens Streep\u2019s performance. In that 24 seconds of silence, we can see the contortions of her lips, her jaw clenching. Tears well up in her eyes. All of the consequences of her impending choice are written across her face. It is so effortless, so believable, that one almost forgets one is witnessing a performance. The uncertainty and self-doubt is palpable, which is why Graham\u2019s decision, when it is made, holds so much weight. We understand now what was at stake.\nMoments like this are a pleasure in contemporary cinema, if only because they are so rare. What we have here is a film of adults in the workplace, making adult decisions. Consequences are considered; ideas are challenged. No sex scenes, no explosions, no screaming fits. Bereft of any gimmicks or stylistic flourishes, the film can almost feel old-fashioned at times, not only because of the indoor cigarette smoking, hands clanking on typewriters, or men openly telling women they aren\u2019t capable enough to do a good job.\nFunny that ours is an age in which the Nixon era, once seen as the chaotic hallmark of institutional uncertainty, is now looked back upon with almost gleeful nostalgia. At least back then, the film seems to assert, journalism meant something, as opposed to today, when the press is viewed with perhaps as much animus as our controversial commander in chief: distrusted, dismissed. For all its attempts to make some sort of commentary on our modern condition, the Post ends on a feel-good note, implying that even if our governmental institutions crumble, a good and decent press will always be there to pick up the pieces.\nIt remains to be seen whether such a view still holds true, or is merely the stuff of movies.\nFor many movie goers, their first introduction to Greta Gerwig\u2019s charming and perfectly cast Lady Bird was in the form of commercials or news articles that touted the coming-of-age film as \u201cone of the best reviewed films of all time,\u201d or something along those lines.\nTrue, reviews were good. So good, in fact, that Lady Bird managed to hold a perfect 100 percent \u201cfresh\u201d rating on the movie review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes, the highest rating possible (it has since slipped to a dismal 99 percent fresh, oh how the mighty fall). And even though such a score does not mean each reviewer believed the movie was perfect\u2014a Rotten Tomatoes rating only indicates the percentage of positive reviews, rather than an average of all ratings\u2014it is nevertheless a testament to how widely appealing, entertaining and all around lovely Lady Bird is.\nThe plot of this low-key indie flick is as simple as it gets. High school senior Christine \u201cLady Bird\u201d McPherson (played by the prodigious Saoirse Ronan) wants more out of life. It\u2019s the early 2000s, a time of flip phones and Dave Matthews Band, when one-year anniversary posters remembering the September 11 attacks adorn the walls of classrooms. Like so many bildungsroman heroes before her, \u201cLady Bird\u201d\u2014the artsy moniker Christine adopts for herself (\u201cIt\u2019s my given name,\u201d she says. \u201cI gave it to myself\u201d)\u2014believes that her life cannot truly begin until she leaves home. For Lady Bird, home is Sacramento, California, which first-time writer/director and Sacramento native Greta Gerwig evokes with love and care. We see the city pass by mostly through car windows: bridges and shimmering rivers, rolling vistas, thrift stores and trees, taco stands and church towers. The love Gerwig holds for Sacramento is clear with each shot. But young Lady Bird herself isn\u2019t so keen.\n\u201cI hate California,\u201d she complains. \u201cI want to go where culture is!\u201d\n\u201cUgh, how did I raise such a snob?\u201d her mother grieves.\nThat, essentially, is the driving plot behind the movie: Lady\u2019s Birds dreams of flight. But within that broad framework, Gerwig has captured the teenage essence of what it means to be young, bold, and desperately insecure all at the same time.\nThere are many pleasures to be found in this film. The Catholic high school Lady Bird attends, for instance, is shown as a world filled with nuanced people all striving to find happiness, or at least to get by. A stern nun turns out to be a laid-back, fun-loving lady who appreciates a good prank at her own expense. A stoic preacher breaks down in tears, before we learn that his son died years earlier. A cool, confident guy who has everything going for him turns out to be hiding a deep part of himself from his family and friends, at great pain. These heartfelt portraits float around Lady Bird as naturally as one experiences life.\nBut the true heart of the film is the relationship between Lady Bird and her mother, a struggling nurse who must support her kids and her unemployed husband (played brilliantly by Laurie Metcalf). We see that life has been hard on the mother, and Lady Bird sees it too, which is why she desperately wants to be different. Lady Bird wants fame, riches, recognition. She wants the promise of a happy, buoyant life, not the threat of foreclosure and constant double shifts at the hospital. Her mother, for her part, knows how Lady Bird feels, perhaps more than Lady Bird herself even knows. When a wealthier boy comes over to the house and tells the mother that Lady Bird told him she was \u201cfrom the wrong side of the tracks,\u201d we see the flicker of pain across the mother\u2019s face. When Lady Bird asks to be dropped off a block ahead of the school so the other students don\u2019t see her father\u2019s shabby car, we see the heartbreak within his caring smile.\nBut despite the harsh realities of family life on display here, this is not a film one leaves feeling morose. On the contrary, it is a joy. And even at the family\u2019s most desperate moments, when voices are raised and doors are slammed, there is always that small knock on the bedroom door, a mother\u2019s quiet voice whispering from the other side: \u201cSweetheart, are you okay? I love you\u2026 I want you to know that I\u2019ll always love you.\u201d\nLady Bird might not know much, but she knows that.\nJust a few minutes into Guillermo Del Toro\u2019s fanciful fairy tale The Shape of Water, viewers are treated to some of the most baffling nudity I\u2019ve ever seen in a major motion picture.\nThis strange scene is our introduction to the film\u2019s main character, a mute woman named Elise, (played by British actor Sally Hawkins), who lives in a small apartment above a movie theatre. Although given the apartment\u2019s murky lighting, damp echoes and mildew-colored wallpaper, the effect is altogether subterranean. We\u2019re shown Elise beginning her day\u2014and the film\u2014by waking up, boiling some eggs, and then slithering into the bathroom, where she takes a very intimate bath.\nNow, don\u2019t get me wrong\u2014there are easy symbolic justifications for why Del Toro decided to introduce Elise in the buff. It presents her as a creature, a curious animal in her quiet depths, which will parallel another curious, slimy creature the film introduces later on. And to have Elise seeking sexual pleasure on her own obviously indicates that she is a lonely person, someone seeking connection. That Elise is mute and cannot easily communicate (metaphor alert!) also surely has something to do with her isolation.\nBut I can\u2019t help but wonder, given the clich\u00e9d, Disney-esque movie that follows, why Del Toro opted to strip Elise down to the skin, when he could have revealed just as much about her character by simply having her gaze longingly out a window?\nThe answer, of course, is obvious: this film is meant to be taken seriously. And as everyone knows, graphic nudity is serious. Never mind that the plot, themes, and characterization of the film are so formulaic, so childish, that I could give away the entire story without ruining a thing.\nIn fact, allow me to do just that:\nThe film begins with a lonely mute orphan girl (the aforementioned Elise) who works in a secret government facility, sweeping floors. She wants love and connection, but can\u2019t find it. One day a mysterious swamp monster is brought into the facility. Bad men do bad things to the monster, torturing it. Why? It doesn\u2019t matter. (The unsatisfying answer the film gives is that studying the monster might help the Americans get to space before the Soviets\u2014it isn\u2019t explained any further). But it turns out the monster is nice. Like the mute girl, he is lonely too. They fall in love. (Technically, she gives the monster an egg, he eats the egg, they listen to some music together, and one scene later she is fiendishly proclaiming \u201cI love him! He sees me for who I am!\u201d with forceful sign language). So the lonely mute girl helps misunderstood monster escape from facility. There\u2019s a quick interspecies sex scene back at her house (underwhelming). Bad people chase after the monster. Bad people lose, die. Monster and girl live happily ever after. Moral of the story: we should be more accepting of people.\nThat\u2019s the whole movie in a nutshell, but even that summary fails to convey how cartoonish the bad guys are (all Soviets straight out of Die Hard, but in 1960s suits), or how often cheesy lines gets tossed around with reckless abandon, or how formulaic everything proceeds. And yet at the same time, the movie frequently indulges in over-the-top violence and nudity. It\u2019s strangely disorienting. You feel comforted by the fairy tale Disney love story, but then you\u2019re treated to some violent sex. You want the good guys to escape the bad guys, but then the bad guys are gunned-down in a hail of bullets, brains exploding, blood splattering everywhere. It\u2019s as if the film doesn\u2019t know what it wants to be.\nOf course, judging by all the praise being heaped upon The Shape of Water, I assume many audiences found these failings to be the very aspects which they most enjoyed. Does the film follow basically the exact same plotline as Free Willy, or The Iron Giant, or Beauty and the Beast, or The Little Mermaid, or countless other cookie-cutter movies you\u2019ve seen before? Yes, yes, yes. But the film is well-shot and visually ornate\u2014Del Toro is, after all, a skilled director, despite his indulgences\u2014and the cast does a good job of bringing a dull script to life. Perhaps, then, the dashes of nudity and violence only serve to heighten the film\u2019s value to many people, like new seasoning on a familiar meal\u2014which is ultimately not a bad thing. Just don\u2019t expect me to call The Shape of Water anything other than what it is: a kid\u2019s movie, just with more blood, flesh, and gills.\nAnyone familiar with the work of playwright turned writer/director Martin McDonagh, whose previous films include cult favorite In Bruges and the criminally overlooked Seven Psychopaths, knows that the cheeky Irishman has a penchant for violence, rollicking dialogue and characters painfully burdened by the weight of their own contradictions. His most recent film, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, is perhaps the finest crystallization of his preoccupations yet.\nEven still, the film\u2019s gritty, messy subject matter\u2014the aftermath of a young woman\u2019s rape and murder in a rural Missouri town\u2014is occasionally at odds with the perfection of its narrative structure. You want to feel the muddy chaos of the world McDonagh has brought to life, but you\u2019re somewhat distracted by the film\u2019s precise and comical craftsmanship. Simple scenes of dialogue\u2014say, between a rural cop and a backwoods woman in mud-stained overalls\u2014turn into a volley of hilarious and cutting dialogue, each line more perfectly timed than the last. It\u2019s great stuff, but it\u2019s sometimes a little too great. (Coming from someone who spent five years as a reporter in Appalachia, I can assure you that no cop I\u2019ve ever met has made an Oscar Wilde reference).\nThis criticism is not made in any attempt to diminish the film\u2019s value\u2014for it truly is a fantastic, warm-hearted movie\u2014but only because I believe it sheds light on some of the harsher criticism the film has faced in recent weeks.\nThe film\u2019s title is a reference to three billboards that are placed on a back-country road by Mildred Hayes (played by Frances McDormand at her very best) whose daughter Angela was raped and murdered seven months prior. The billboards read, respectively: \u201cRAPED WHILE DYING,\u201d \u201cAND STILL NO ARRESTS?\u201d \u201cHOW COME, CHIEF WILLOUGHBY?\u201d The last billboard specifically references the police chief, a good man (played by Woody Harrelson) who also happens to be dying of terminal pancreatic cancer. Other characters\u2014including a racist cop (Sam Rockwell), and a romantic dwarf (Game of Throne\u2019s Peter Dinklage)\u2014hover around the central drama, playing out their own stories of failure and redemption.\nAnd it\u2019s here that critics seem to be getting hungup about the film, specifically with regard to Rockwell\u2019s very racist cop, who drops the n-word with abandon and has a history of beating up young black men. McDonagh\u2019s decision to nevertheless present the officer as a nuanced human being, with a capacity for joy, love, tenderness and charity, despite his many personal failings, seems to be a step too far for some of the film\u2019s more ardent critics\u2014indeed, a few have even likened it to a tacit endorsement of the character\u2019s horrific actions, as if revealing personal contradictions were akin to wiping the slate of his soul clean.\nI do not fall into this camp, for the simple reason that I have seen McDonagh\u2019s previous films, and I know that no character he has ever written is entirely good or entirely bad. The same is true for Three Billboards. At the outset of the film, for example, McDonagh wants us to feel sympathy for Mildred Hayes, whose daughter was brutally raped and murdered, but he then strings us along as she frequently behaves with horrendous disregard for others, or is just plain mean. And yet we still cry when she breaks down in pain over her grief. We judge, we feel distaste, and then we relate. Such is the obligation McDonagh seems to set for himself: to make every character sympathetic, if only because he presents their rationalizations and fears so clearly that we can\u2019t help but understand.\nRedemption is not easy, the film seems to say. But that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s impossible.\nEasily the most divisive film of the year, Get Out has its fair share of celebrants and detractors, although that\u2019s to be expected from a movie that is first and foremost about race\u2014or more aptly, about racism.\nThe blowback is perhaps best exemplified by a review of the film in National Review, whose blaring headline called Get Out a \u201ctrite, get-white movie.\u201d And yes, by now it should come as no surprise that most of the white people in the film\u2026 well, they don\u2019t come out looking very good. But that\u2019s to be expected from a movie that centers around a young black man\u2019s experience as an outsider, an unwelcome guest into a world not his own.\nTo draw a comparison to history, when the great director William Wyler was about to go into production on the classic anti-Nazi war film Mrs. Miniver, he faced objection from studio head Louis B. Mayer, who found Wyler\u2019s treatment of Germans in the film problematic. The film tells the story of a simple British family living through the daily struggles World War II. One morning, the titular Mrs. Kay Miniver finds a wounded German sleeping in the family garden. The German is quickly revealed to be an evil Nazi caricature, holding Miniver at gunpoint and aggressively proclaiming the Third Reich\u2019s inevitable dominance over the word, which Mayer found troubling. \u201cWe don\u2019t hate anybody,\u201d he told Wyler. But Wyler did not budge. If he had ten or twenty German characters in the film, he told Mayer, then of course some of them would be good and decent people. But because there was only one German in the film, Wyler was going to make him as evil as he could, because he needed to make a point. (Some weeks later, the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, and Mayer promptly changed his tune, telling Wyler, \u201cYes, go ahead as you will\u201d). Such an argument, I believe, could also be made to justify the decisions of director Jordan Peele and his treatment of white people in Get Out. Yes, of course Peele could have made some of the white characters in the film good and decent people, which would have satisfied some of the film\u2019s harsher critics. But that would have taken time, disrupting the pacing of the film, and moreover, Peele is clearly using the white characters here to make a point. They are not meant to be representative of white people in general (Peele himself has a white mother, and grew up in a white household, so I doubt he is harboring any \u201cget-whitey\u201d motives here), but merely the worst qualities of racism embodied, just as Wyler was attacking the embodiment of Nazism. Peele only has one white household to work with. Because this is first and foremost a horror movie, he\u2019s going to make them as sinister as possible.\nThe film centers around a young black photographer named Chris Washington (played with quiet reserve by Daniel Kaluuya) who is going home with his white girlfriend for the first time to meet her family. As he arrives, the pleasant hospitality of the all-American white household begins to morph into something more unsettling, and Chris starts to wonder why he is here in the first place. I\u2019ll give no more away, because the real pleasures of the film are in experiencing the discomfort and fear from Chris\u2019 perspective, as we face a growing sense of doom that is both truly scary and strangely exciting.\nI use that word\u2014perspective\u2014because I cannot mention the blowback against Get Out without recalling a similar level of criticism that was heaped upon another exceptional film of recent years, American Sniper. Let\u2019s be honest with ourselves: much of the criticism being leveled against Get Out is from people of a more conservative perspective, just as the most ardent detractors of American Sniper were those who skewed liberal. The arguments against each film, however, are rooted in the same logic. From the conservative view, it can be argued that Get Out stereotypes all white people as evil. From the liberal view, it can be equally argued that American Sniper stereotypes all Iraqis and Muslims as evil. But I find both arguments flawed, because at no point did either film strive to make objective claims. Rather, they were merely presenting a situation from a fixed perspective. For the black man who encounters horrific racism, he develops a certain perspective. For the soldier who encounters horrific barbarism, he too develops a perspective. And for audiences to demand that a filmmaker add in niceties simply to appease their own idealistic sense of how the world should work is, to my mind, childish. Art is meant to reflect life, and sometimes life is cruel. Would it have made some white audiences happier if a few of the white characters in Get Out ended up being nice and caring? Yes, probably. But would it have made for a better movie? No, most certainty not.\nChristopher Nolan\u2019s latest epic begins in silence. Leaflets cascade from the sky, raining down upon a quiet alley, on which a few soldiers listlessly stand. They reach up to pluck the paper as it falls. WE SURROUND YOU, the paper reads. The screen goes black and a simple title card reads: \u201cThe enemy have driven the British and French armies to the sea. Trapped at Dunkirk, they await their fate. Hoping for deliverance. For a miracle.\u201d And soon we hear the roar of enemy planes overhead; gunfire, violence, blood and chaos shatters the silence. The battle has begun. The film will now remain at this volume for its entirety.\nSuch is the problem with Dunkirk. For a film that is so beautifully shot, the scale of the battle so grandiose, the direction of master Christopher Nolan so precise, it is also bafflingly dull, with little in the way of characters on which to hinge the spectacle, so that what we are left with is essentially a two-and-a-half hour battle sequence, that and nothing more.\nStill, this is very much a Christopher Nolan film, the director behind such fantastic crowd-pleasers as The Dark Knight, Interstellar, and The Prestige, which means audiences would be right to expect some cinematic wizardry. What Nolan offers in this film by way of inventiveness is a chopped-up structure. We follow the battle sequence from three perspectives\u2014land, sea, and air\u2014each of which spans a different amount of time\u2014a week on land, a day at sea, and an hour in the air. The structure can be confusing at first, but eventually these three perspectives begin to overlap in creative ways. A fighter pilot in the air, for instance, spots a capsized boat down in the sea below, a boat we recognize. When the perspective shifts back to those at sea, the boat has yet to capsize, and we are left wondering how it will happen. In such a way Nolan weaves a tapestry of experience to form a cohesive whole, but much of the architecture is lost upon first viewing, as we are far too distracted by the non-stop battery of bullets, roaring engines, and screams.\nDespite the noise (audibly sensitive viewers in theatres would be advised to bring ear plugs) Dunkirk could just as easily have been a silent film, for there is almost no dialogue, or at least none worth recalling. This is purposeful: Nolan reportedly did not want the film to get \u201cbogged down in the politics of situation,\u201d and as a result we see no backstory as to how the battle arose, no backroom talks between generals, no Winston Churchill smoking a cigar, no wives and children at home. It could even be argued that there are no characters in the film at all, for most of the soldiers are difficult to distinguish from one another (boy-band heartthrob Harry Styles makes an appearance, though mud-stained and unrecognizable), and we have no notion of any motivations or histories beyond each character\u2019s desperate attempts at survival.\nEven still, Dunkirk remains a remarkable achievement, even if one\u2019s enjoyment of the film depends heavily on a penchant for well-choreographed battle sequences. It may be a divergence from Nolan\u2019s typical fare, but the passion behind the project is evident, and the film\u2019s ending note\u2014a rescued soldier reading from Winston Churchill\u2019s famous speech to the House of Commons (\u201cWe shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields\u2026\u201d)\u2014expands the scope of the struggle we have just spent more than two hours enduring. This is how the war was won, Nolan seems to say. It was not one story but many, a million and more voiceless individuals who experienced the chaos as it was\u2014random, indifferent to the individual, cruel in its deathly implications\u2014who nevertheless survived. Survived, and then dusted themselves off to go back and fight some more.\nThe critical darling of the year, Call Me By Your Name is two hours of people looking off in the distance, shrugging, walking around, riding bikes in silence, drinking water, sleeping, sitting in chairs, eating, and then about thirty minutes of gay sex scenes, all underscored by repetitive piano music. If that sounds up your alley, great. But everyone else might do well to bring a large cup of Starbucks with them into the theatre, because they\u2019ll certainly need it during this snooze-fest disguised as art.\nWith every lingering shot and painfully dull scene, Call Me By Your Name is practically begging to be written about in a college-level film studies essay. No doubt such an essay would mention the film\u2019s languid pacing, its supple beauty, its sensuous direction, its sultry poetry, its ripe imagery\u2014basically anything that has to do with heat and fruit, because apparently symbolism is more important these days than telling a good story. But arthouse pandering aside, what most struck me during this mind-numbing slog of a movie was how obvious it all was. One character is an archeologist who studies ancient Greek sculpture of the male form, so of course we are treated to shots of these muscular sculptures juxtaposed with identical shots of our two male lovers. Another character eats a soft-boiled egg for breakfast, so of course his finger massages the yolk out suggestively, at which point juices burst forth while his eyes meet his lover\u2019s gaze across the table. Another character literally has sex with a peach, and his lover then takes a bite out of said peach. Is that even symbolism? I don\u2019t know anymore. I\u2019ll leave that to the film studies students.\nWatching Call Me By Your Name is like reading a particularly banal New Yorker short story, one that falls into every clich\u00e9 of what serious art is meant to be. Scenes begin and end with seemingly no point. Resolution? Please. Plot progression? Get out of town. Characters ride their bikes around, the camera pans over to some clouds, some grass, some trees, and then all of a sudden it\u2019s nighttime, and we\u2019re treated to some shots of the sky, some more grass, some dark trees, a character asleep in bed, and then it\u2019s breakfast again, over and over\u2014piano music rising up and down in the background like someone\u2019s head nodding as they try desperately to stay awake. Does the film mirror the languid nature of real life? Yes, surely. But does it entertain, intrigue or even warrant attention? Not at all.\nOf course, much fuss has been made over the subject matter of the film\u2014the slow-building love story between a teenage boy (Timothee Chalamet) and the older male guest (Armie Hammer) staying at his parents\u2019 Italian summer home\u2014but even a portrayal of gay love as authentic and restrained as we find in Call Me By Your Name isn\u2019t all that interesting anymore. Such a film would have been a revelation even half a decade ago, but in these gender fluid days, when gay love has been normalized and we\u2019ve already moved on to the more blurred lines of sexual identity, a tale like this is practically prudish\u2014peach-copulating aside, of course.\nThe key scene in director Joe Wright\u2019s newest drama Darkest Hour takes place in a cramped train car in the London Underground. British Prime Minister Winston Churchill (played by a makeup drenched Gary Oldman in a career-defining performance) has decided to use the underground on his commute to Westminster, where a crucial decision awaits him. Should he give in to Nazi pressure and seek a surrender for better terms? Or should he push to fight? Churchill asks the group of stunned passengers on the train car as to their thoughts. They answer him without hesitation: fight. Fight always. Fight to the end. \u201cFight with broomsticks, if we must,\u201d booms one woman. \u201cNever give up!\u201d echoes a little girl from the back.\nThe poignancy of the scene is obvious for those familiar with Churchill\u2019s \u201cWe shall fight on the beaches!\u201d speech, a defiant screed against surrender to the Nazis that served to unite the government in favor of a continued war effort, and which also serves as Darkest Hour\u2019s climax. That certain phrases spoken by those passengers on the train car seem to echo in Churchill\u2019s later speech is no accident, for the film often draws a connection between the stiff statecraft operating behind the scenes and the quiet will of the people, with no one other than Churchill capable of crossing between these two worlds. The logic of Darkest Hour therefore requires Churchill to make this literal descent into the underground world of the common man, before he can rise into the vaulted ceilings of history. Churchill is nothing without the people, the film reminds us, and we feel inclined to nod along in agreement.\nConveniently, Darkest Hour arrived in theatres the same year as Christopher Nolan\u2019s Dunkirk, and the two films serve as pieces of the same puzzle, different perspectives on the same story, and even end with the same speech. But while Dunkirk was boldly singular, perhaps to its detriment, Darkest Hour is standard fair, a consistently adequate and thoroughly enjoyable film, if a bit formulaic. You will find no real surprises here, but that\u2019s just fine. The meal is familiar but delicious. Churchill\u2019s words\u2014\u201cwe shall never surrender!\u201d\u2014still rouse us. And in these modern times of moral uncertainty, sometimes a good pump-up speech is just what we need.\nPhantom Thread is a film of spoons clinking against tea cups, forks and knives tapping on plates, the scrape of chairs scooting out, and many sighs. It is a dramatic film in which the drama is acted out through raised eyebrows and sarcastic comments, slurped tea and perhaps a loud swallow of coffee. This is fitting\u2014no pun intended\u2014for a film that takes place in the snobbish world of high fashion, specifically the fashion scene of London in the 1950s, where disdain is often so couched in decorum that you might miss it.\nBut those who are entering this film with thoughts of writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson\u2019s previous work\u2014which includes such classic films as Boogie Nights, Magnolia, There Will Be Blood, and The Master\u2014will likely be disappointed by the degree to which Anderson has pared down his technique. What made his prior films so wonderful was the way by which Anderson created deeply believable characters as snapshots of a wider world\u2014films like Boogie Nights, which used a collective of comically tragic individuals to open the door on the strange and sad world of pornography in 1970s California. But Phantom Thread offers no such glance into the wider world of London fashion. We are instead cooped up in a single house for the majority of the film, a claustrophobic environment, where most of the conflict takes place at the morning breakfast nook, acted out in small gestures. The precision and the subtlety of Anderson\u2019s directing here is remarkable. Drama emerges when one character butters her toast too loudly, for example. Another character responds with a bitter sip of tea, a swift turning of a notebook page. A third character glances away, ashamed of the disturbance. No one other than Anderson could make such small gestures contain such multitudes of expression. Yes, this is a beautiful film.\nIt is also boring. Exceedingly boring. Groaningly boring. So very boring it might just break your heart.\nSpeaking as a die-hard fan of Anderson\u2019s work, I so wanted to like Phantom Thread. I had been waiting for the film with excitement for more than a year, after word first broke that Daniel Day-Lewis and Anderson, who had previously worked together in There Will Be Blood, would be teaming up again. Throw in a score from Radiohead\u2019s Jonny Greenwood, also a frequent Anderson collaborator, and you have a recipe for success. But unfortunately, as I left Phantom Thread, I had to admit to myself the harsh truth: that movie stunk.\nThe story follows renowned fashion designer Reynolds Woodcock, a belligerent artist played by Daniel Day-Lewis (supposedly in his last role, but we shall see), who meets a young waitress named Alma (Vicky Krieps) and promptly brings her into his home. We then follow the path of their relationship, a see-saw of dominance and submission, back and forth, back and forth. Woodcock is grumpy, but Alma is nice and fun; more importantly, she also happens to be self-assured enough to know what she wants. This makes her a unique creature for Woodcock. Whereas his past girlfriends bemoaned his stern tendencies, unsuccessfully attempting to massage kindness from him, Alma takes a different tact. She openly confronts him, calling him a grumpy baby, intruding on his sacred routines, because she thinks he could be living a happier, better life, and she will show him how.\nThe relationship is shown with tenderness and humor, and at least in this regard, Anderson is successful. Indeed, to my mind, no other contemporary filmmaker loves his characters as much as Anderson does. Even when they are stupid, arrogant, vain, cruel, or downright hopeless, there is a warm sympathy in the way he portrays them. But this focus on small interpersonal conflict has grown more and more prominent in Anderson\u2019s films as he\u2019s matured, to the determinant of his film\u2019s additional furnishings. When the outside world is stripped away, all we are left with is a banal chamber drama, people talking ceaselessly in a locked room. No matter how deep the emotions may be for these isolated characters, the film itself still feels shallow\u2014like a dress with no one in it.\nMost Likely to Win:\n1.The Post\n3.The Shape of Water\n4.Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri\n7.Call Me By Your Name\n9.Phantom Thread",

        "title": "The Great Fence of America",
        "raw_content": "The Great Fence of America\nWritten by David Hiatt on March 4, 2013\nOver 2000 illegal aliens from Mexico were released from prison last week. Some with minor violations, others with domestic violence and a few that were carrying guns illegally. The following day, the establishment Siamese twins, McCain and Graham, met with Barry to discuss the undocumented immigrant problem. I am sure those three goof balls will come up with a resolution. In March, another 3000 plus illegals will be released due to not having enough money in the budget to hold them. We, the American taxpayer, are paying over an estimated $300 billion per year for these undeserving, disrespectful leeches to bleed entitlement programs and rape our nation.\nRecently, eight congressmen, \u201cThe Gang of Eight\u201c, have been working on the immigration problem and to no avail: they have not come to an agreement. One obvious problem in the bill was for undocumented illegals to pay back taxes. If they are not documented, how on earth do they come up with a real figure? I am sure most of the illegals will say they just got here yesterday and are looking for a job, just like millions of other citizens. In Los Angeles County alone, over 4 million illegals that do not have green cards work for cash-only, avoiding paying taxes.\nSome say the undocumented immigrant bill is not amnesty. I beg to differ. In a roundabout way, through the current bill, they will all become legal through amnesty. There are an estimated 11 million illegals in the United States and some projections put the number upwards around 20 million. If this \u201cAmnesty Bill\u201d should happen to pass, I can only imagine we will see the numbers of illegals significantly rise.\nThe first agreeable measure of deterrence is to build a fence along the border. Upon investigation, I have found that the fences being built does not have any consistency. They are all built differently and just about as efficient as some fences put around ones property. These fences are really a pathetic joke that lacks thought! I encourage you to visit the video below to comprehend the government\u2019s waste of money on a worthless fence that has been placed at the border to protect our nation from illegal entry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=AfVENwfeGHw\nWanting to be in the United States and fulfilling the American Dream is understandable. That requires citizenship and a job. We have enough of our own citizens that have their hand out to receive government entitlements that are straining the system. In order to eliminate this growing problem, the law must be enforced and all illegals must return to their homeland to receive proper citizenship for re-entry.\nAs swift as Obamacare and the multi-stimulus packages were introduced to the nation, we need to present a bill that gives illegals 180 days to leave the country or be incarcerated. Any company and owners of the company that provides work for illegals will meet maximum fines and possible jail time. Transportation will be provided at the tax payers\u2019 expense to those that have no means of reaching the border; after all this will be saving billions. All illegals in our prison system will be taken by secured transportation to the border. This will reduce strain on penitentiaries by a minimum of thirty percent.\nAny illegals that would like to work for their amnesty may do so in a Labor/Education Program building a wall at the border. This program would last a minimum of four years. Food, clothing, shelter, church and education would be provided. During this time, all members of the work force must learn how to speak fluent English, have a thorough knowledge of American History and our Constitution. At the end of the Labor/Education Program, each working individual must pass a test as part of obtaining citizenship. These individuals would be treated as indentured servants were in the 17th century and with their help, they will provide the means of border security while making history.\nWith support from the Army Corp of Engineers and assistance from the National Guard a strategy could be formulated to build a forty foot tall barrier wall sitting on a twenty foot deep foundation between Mexico and the United States. The wall should be wide enough to allow for a two lane road placed on top having watch towers placed at two mile intervals.\nThe United States of America is the greatest nation on earth and we are capable of enormous challenges. While this wall may not be feasible or politically popular, something more than a glorified backyard fence needs to be placed at our border, a wall that cannot be scaled or tunneled under. It is agreed that any \u201cAmnesty Bill\u201d passed before an efficient barrier is in place is insignificant.\nMeanwhile, in the next ten years, the cost to the American taxpayer will exceed one trillion dollars.\nDavid Hiatt sees a good part of America driving his truck across it, mostly from Indiana down to the bottom of Texas. He is a passionate Christian Constitutional Conservative that is concerned about the direction this Great Nation is heading.",

        "raw_content": "Tea is of vital economic importance to millions of people in rural areas of countries such as China.\nImage: J Aaron Farr via Flickr\nResearch in China shows that the changing monsoon pattern in East Asia and heavier rainfall is having a detrimental effect on the yield and quality of tea.\nLONDON, 24 April, 2016 \u2013 Slow changes in the annual monsoon season may be reducing yields in one of the world\u2019s most important crops \u2013 and gradually watering down the tea in China.\nScientists in the US have used a new approach to examine harvests of Camellia sinensis \u2013 the evergreen bush whose leaves and leaf buds are used to produce tea \u2212 in southern Yunnan and other regions of China, and have identified a decline that could only be linked to the retreat of the monsoon, along with greater levels of downpour.\nThat climate change in the form of greater extremes of heat and drought and flood will affect crop yields overall is well-established, but what matters to farmers is what gradual global warming and subtle shifts in seasonal weather patterns will bring to specific crops in traditional agricultural provinces.\nFor the moment, wine harvests in areas of France may have benefited from earlier springs and warmer summers, and the overall shift in average temperatures has brought new hope to the once-struggling English vineyards.\nBut tea \u2013 the most consumed beverage in the world, after water, and celebrated by the 18th-century English poet William Cowper as \u201cthe cups, that cheer but not inebriate\u201d \u2013 is grown in 50 countries, but is of vital economic importance to 80 million rural people in China and at least three million in India.\nRebecca Boehm, PhD candidate at Tufts University\u2019s Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy in the US, and colleagues report in Climate journal that rather than match annual production figures with the calendar dates of the east Asian monsoon onset, they looked at regional rainfall figures from 1980 to 2011 to decide precisely when the rainy season could be said to have begun and ended.\nAnd their \u201cyield response model\u201d identified a set of incremental changes that each seemed to affect harvests.\n\u201cWe hope that our approach will enable researchers\nto more accurately assess how monsoon and\nseasonal dynamics affect crop productivity\u201d\nA 1% increase in the date of the monsoon retreat could be linked to a reduction in yields of between 0.48% and 0.535%. An increase of 1% in average daily rainfall could be associated with a drop in yield of 0.18% to 0.26%. And a drop of 1% in solar radiation the previous growing season could mean a 0.55 to 0.86% fall in yields.\nTea is not a simple crop. The buds form on the evergreen perennial bush, and growers and skilled workers have to decide when to pick to deliver the product with the best flavour.\nProducers have to maintain quality, but tea in particular is an astonishing mix of flavonoids, caffeine, non-protein amino acids and other natural chemicals that vary according to growing conditions, but which have been linked to human health.\nEpidemiological studies have associated tea-drinking to lower rates of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cognitive impairment, depressive symptoms and reduced incidence of cold and \u2019flu symptoms.\nBoehm says: \u201cIf monsoon periods continue to be longer and produce heavier daily rainfalls that could reduce tea yield and quality, then there needs to be changes in management techniques, such as possibly planting tea varietals that are more tolerant of increased precipitation, or managing soil in ways to increase water-holding capacity.\u201d\nThe methodology could be employed to examine yield changes in other places, and with other crops.\n\u201cWe hope that our approach will enable researchers to more accurately assess how monsoon and seasonal dynamics affect crop productivity in tropical and subtropical regions globally,\u201d Boehm adds. \u2013 Climate News Network\nAgriculture, climate change, Rainfall, Warming, Weather\n\u00ab Forest guardians pay a heavy price Despite Chernobyl, Belarus goes nuclear \u00bb",

You can find this highly rated hotel wedged in between Carrington Road and Bronte Road in Waverley, New South Wales. It is right at the big intersection with Victoria Street which is known as Charing Cross. This Art Deco hotel has been recently restored. It was originally built by Tooth and Company in 1938 and its antique beauty cannot be overlooked. The Robin Hood Hotel offers up an ever-changing selection of craft beers, seasonal produce and Australian wines. Come in every few weeks and you'll have a different experience every time. This hotel is all about the craft beer. You can keep up with the ever-changing selection of beers on the hotel's website. The best way to explore the craft beers of the Robin Hood Hotel is to get the beer sampler. You can get little tastes of five beers to determine which one you like and want to commit to for the rest of the night. The extensive wine list is just as impressive and the hotel serves up plenty of food to complement the rotating roster of libations. There are plenty of sharing options on the menu as well as pub classics. The menu focuses mostly on burgers, grilled meats and salads. And while the menu changes frequently, signature dishes such as the Moroccan lamb salad can always be ordered. This high-end restaurant serves up $10 lunches every weekday and the kitchen stays open late on weekends.\nhttps://www.facebook.com/therobinhoodhotel\nAddress: 203 Bronte Rd, Waverley NSW 2024",

It contains the phrase \u201cYour will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.\u201d Is this part of the prayer being answered today? It appears to me that most of the earth is rebelling against God\u2019s will rather than following it.\nThe Bible tells us that God created the world and everything in it in six days and we should acknowledge him as our Creator. Humans have come up with the belief that the earth developed by natural processes over billions of years and that life arose by a process of evolution. This belief is such an integral part of our culture that even many Bible believers accept it and interpret the Bible in a way that accommodates the belief that the earth is old. I once believed in an old earth and reconciled this belief with the Bible by believing in the gap theory.

(Hebrews 13:3)\nSome think this command merely says we are to be concerned about prisoners in general and need to pray for them and enable them to hear the gospel. There are many Christian organizations dedicated to reaching prisoners with the gospel. Perhaps the best known of these is Prison Fellowship. This is certainly a legitimate application of this verse, but I don\u2019t think it is what the author of Hebrews had in mind. When the New Testament was being written Christians often faced severe persecution and many were in prison because of their faith. This statement is a reminder not to forget them.

Moses had gone up Mt. Sinai to get God\u2019s commands for the people. When he was gone longer than expected the people asked Aaron to make a god to lead them. They had just come out of 400 years of slavery in Egypt where there were images of all the Egyptian gods. The idea of following a god they couldn\u2019t see was foreign to them. While Moses was with them they could follow him but in his absence they needed a visible representation of God.\nHe received the gold from their hand and fashioned it with a graving tool and made a golden calf. And they said, \u201cThese are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt!\n\u201dWhen Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it. And Aaron made a proclamation and said, \u201cTomorrow shall be a feast to the LORD.\u201d (Exodus 32:4,5)\nWhen Aaron proclaimed a feast in honor of the calf he proclaimed it in the name of the LORD, the true God. In making the calf the people weren\u2019t breaking the first commandment, \u201cYou shall have no other gods before me.\u201d They were breaking the second, \u201cYou shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.\u201d Read the rest of this entry \u2192\nTags: Aaron, Back to the Bible, golden calf, idols, Jeroboam\nHave you ever tried to persuade a church or other organization to change some long established practice? Often people who oppose the change will say something like, \u201cWe\u2019ve always done it that way.\u201d They believe that because something has worked well in the past they should continue to do it and not change anything. Are they right? Is the fact that something worked well in the past a reason we should keep on doing it and not change it? There was an incident in the life of David that I believe answers that question.

They were not to cut his hair and he would begin to deliver Israel from the Philistines. He would begin the job but King David would be the one who completed it. Samson is famous for his strength but his parents were never told anything about this. The discovery of how strong he was likely came as a surprise both to him and to his parents.\nHere is the first incident recorded after he became an adult.\nSamson went down to Timnah, and at Timnah he saw one of the daughters of the Philistines. Then he came up and told his father and mother, \u201cI saw one of the daughters of the Philistines at Timnah. Now get her for me as my wife.\u201d\nBut his father and mother said to him, \u201cIs there not a woman among the daughters of your relatives, or among all our people, that you must go to take a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines?\u201d\nBut Samson said to his father, \u201cGet her for me, for she is right in my eyes.\u201d (Joshua 14:1-3)\nTags: Delilah, eyes, Philistines, Samson, sight",

Here Are Some Resources\nRecently, the COCo team put aside a few hours to dig into some questions that have been on our minds for a while. One of those questions was how COCo wants to integrate land acknowledgements\u2013 that is, recognizing the indigenous territories where we do our work- into our meetings, facilitation, and events. Our conversation about land acknowledgements is a work in progress, and we are seeking feedback on it, if you have any! In the meantime, we wanted to share our process with those of you who might be considering this as well.\nIf you are new to the idea of land acknowledgements, here is a nice description of what they are and why to do them.\n10 Practical Ideas to Make Your Non Profit an Awesome Place To Work\nWe\u2019ve been celebrating the month of May by engaging in conversations about labour conditions in the community sector. You can read our other instalments here, here, and here.\nIt is common sense that liking your job, and staying in it, has to do with a lot more than just salary. In the years I spent as a primary caregiver, flexibility in when I worked my hours and being able to leave for emergencies were my top priorities. Now, at a new job, I am hungry for learning opportunities for myself to better my own practice working with organizations. Thinking through all of the ways we can provide great workplaces can help non-profits retain staff\u2014which, as is laid out here, here, and here, is a very smart thing to do.\nHere our some ideas we\u2019ve come up with that can help Quebec non-profits create great working conditions for the people who give so much.\nCOCo Picks: News, Tools, and Tips from the COCo Team!\nGrant Opportunity for Community Technology Projects\nA grant recently caught our eye that we thought to share with our network, offered by the Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA), a federal nonprofit. The Community Investment Program funds projects that innovative projects that support the development and/or enhancement of the internet for the benefit of all Canadians, including:\n\u2022 Community access to the internet, internet tools, and/or devices;\n\u2022 Online services for vulnerable or disadvantaged groups; (these online services must create efficiencies);\n\u2022 Digital literacy and/or web safety;\n\u2022 Infrastructure and internet security; (infrastructure must bring new or improved internet services to regional, rural and remote communities);\n\u2022 Research focused on technological aspects of the internet;\n\u2022 Knowledge-sharing activities that lead to more effective internet governance;\n\u2022 Increase public participation in policy making and political processes;\n\u2022 Address social, economic and/or environmental needs\nDonated Computers for NonProfits & Charities\nA new resource is now available in Montreal for nonprofits in charities looking to get refurbished and donated computers and laptops. The equipment is either free, or costs up to $100, and applications can be made on their website, here.\nThe organization bottomlining this initiative is the Electronic Recycling Association (ERA), a non-profit organization founded in 2004 to address the growing problem of e-waste and the increasing \u2018digital divide\u2019. For over ten years, ERA has offered simple solutions to help individuals and organizations prevent operational equipment from premature destruction. With a focus on recovery, refurbishment and reuse, ERA continuously supplies charitable groups with donated IT equipment while securely managing the retiring IT assets of organizations and individuals across Canada.\nFor those of you who are more interested in making a donation, ERA also accepts those. Equipment is accepted in any condition, operational or non-operational, as well as computer parts. Items may be dropped off at one of our depots, or a prompt and professional pickup can be scheduled within any major Canadian city and surrounding areas, depending on the amount being disposed of.

        "raw_content": "Enterprise Architecture as a concept can be defined as many different things, shapes and practices. Through my studies of the concept of Enterprise Architecture, I have discovered that there are as many definitions of Enterprise Architecture as there are frameworks, books and articles on the matter.\nMost frameworks agrees on that the concept deals with developing a set of standards, principles and documentation. These three elements are used in context of documenting and dealing with the usage of information technology in the organization.\nFrom that on there are differences among the definitions of Enterprise Architecture like how to implement Enterprise Architecture program. A rather simple estimation there can be defined three different schools for Enterprise Architecture practice.\nSchools of Enterprise Architecture Practitioners\nThe first school this blog post will address is the process school. The second school is the enterprise engineering school. The third school is a school in between the two former, which I will name the hybrid school. The practitioners works with an ideal that Enterprise Architecture isn\u2019t solely a project / program process or a blue printing process.\nThe Process School\nThe process school and its practitioners are usually working with TOGAF, OIO EA or other framework (approach) that emphasize a program management and a project management methodology on adapting projects to support the Enterprise Architecture program.\nIt is needless to say that the process of adapting the projects to align with the principles of the Enterprise Architecture program is based on a set of continuous processes. These usually contains a set of strategy development, communication and execution. Likewise does most frameworks have an implicit form of evaluation before the process starts again.\nThe Enterprise Engineering School\nThe enterprise engineering school and its practitioners work with an idea that the enterprise can be build upon models or what can be defined as blue prints. The focus is to develop blueprints that can ensure the enterprise\u2019s abilities to obtain models of governance, social systems and technology. The focus is to enforce a change program through a program management approach, but opposite the process school the enterprise engineering school doesn\u2019t go into detail with the program or project management methodology.\nIn this case blueprinting is dealing with developing meta-models that interconnect the various approaches to governance.\nThe school of enterprise engineering and the process school are in contrast and in somehow conflict with one another in their approaches to Enterprise Architecture. In my opinion both schools can be of interest since both schools have some advantages that can be used in context of the enterprise.\nWith this in mind I will discuss the hybrid school.\nEnterprise Architecture for the Hybrid School\nIn lack of better words I have chosen to name this school for hybrid school since the practitioners within this school don\u2019t see the two former schools as pragmatic in their quests for practicing Enterprise Architecture and they combine both the process oriented methodology and the benefits of blueprinting.\nAs earlier mentioned the focus of the blueprinting is to create valid meta-models that can be used to communicate the current situation and the desired situation for the enterprise. The models are usually developed through a process of communication with the stakeholders and through the expertise of the chief architect and the enterprise architects. The enterprise architects applies a framework of which they identifies through a framework that has been selected or developed by the chief architect.\nThe process school deals with applying a program and project management methodology in order to establish a continuous process that enables that the enterprise\u2019s corporate strategy can be crystallized.\nThe practitioners and the academics working with Enterprise Architecture establish a process for implementing the blue prints of the enterprise architecture.\nThe Hybrid school is of my opinion a suitable foundation for establishing an Enterprise Architecture program in almost any enterprises due to any Enterprise Architecture program have to be modified to deal with the individual situation for the individual enterprise. I believe that all enterprises are unique due to their employees, managers, executives and the story for how the enterprise has developed, and all of these elements have an impact on how the enterprise is able to deal with the competition. The degree of competition has a intern a significant impact on how many resources that the enterprise is able to adapt new technologies, processes and people in order to gain advantages that might or might not lead to competitive advantages.\nThe stakeholders in each of the enterprises sees the world differently and it can\u2019t be an advantage to lock the Enterprise Architecture approach to one particular approach if what is needed is an approach that can deal with both project methodology and blueprinting.\nTags: Adaption, Blueprints, Enterprise Architecture, Enterprise Architecture Schools, Enterprise Engineering, Enterprise Engineering School, Hybrid School, Innovation, Prints, Process School, Project Methodology, Schools\nPrevious Drifting the Enterprise: Ensuring Solutions for the Enterprise.\nNext The Enterprise Architect: The Abilities of the Enterprise Architect, and what Should be Expected of Him.",

Over 150 cryptocurrency professionals and enthusiasts gathered at the \u201cKreutz Flat\u201d restaurant to talk about major trends and developments in the industry.\nOpponents and advocates of Blockchain technology took part in several panel discussions, as well as a Q&A session with the visitors of the event. They tackled some of the key issues that the industry is facing right now, such as the rapidly growing market of ICOs and the possible resolution of the scaling debate.\nThe meetup was concluded with a pitching session, where several Blockchain-powered startups have presented their products to the audience.\nAmong the experts present were Victor Dostov, head of the Russian Association of Electronic Money, and Sasha Ivanov, the CEO of the Waves platform. Ivanov described it as \u201cthe best meetup he has ever attended.\u201d\nThis was the first in a series of events planned and organized by the Eberhard Linfordt company. Their claimed goal is to create a platform where experts and newcomers alike are free to express and share their ideas, experiences and future plans.\nAccording to Dmitry Machikhin, the founder of Eberhard Lindfordt, that goal has been successfully achieved:\n\u201cThe 150 spots were gone in two days. Moreover, we had to accommodate a long line of attendees with no prior registration, who showed up, ready to just stand up for the five-hour event. Even though providing services is our main business goal, we do believe in the power of connecting people.\u201d\nThe next \u201cCrypto Friends\u201d meetup is set to take place on July 5, 2017, at Duran Bar in Moscow.\n\u201cThe reach we had at the first meetup has shown us we are on the right track,\u201d says Machikhin. \u201cWe plan on creating a strong community in Russia and abroad through regular meetups and other events that will educate and lobby for the market of cryptocurrency and the Blockchain. The decentralization and the opportunities that this technology has brought is motivating us to put our efforts into its wider adoption.\u201d\n#Victor Dostov\n#Sasha Ivanov",

        "raw_content": "Last week, I engaged in some inner child work. The book I\u2019m reading suggested a meditation I could do to help me connect with the child I once was. I had tried this meditation before with little result but last week, I decided to give it another go.\nThis time it was different. In my meditation, I could clearly see myself at 4 years old. My hair was scraggly, there was chocolate on my face and I was wearing a pair of leggings and nothing else. And I had the hugest grin on my face. I was there too, my adult self. And these two versions of me stood opposite each other. Out of nowhere, the little me began dancing. It was something between a recreation of Sia\u2019s Elastic Heart video and the Haka. She was wild but she moved with purpose. And the adult me followed her every move, copying her and laughing.\nWhen I came out of the meditation, I felt exhilarated. It had been so long since I had let myself feel the wildness which is often lying dormant within me. And in that moment, I made a promise to myself \u2013 to remember to remember that wildness, that fearless searching, that ability to play.\nI believe that we are all born players in this beautiful, wild game of life. As children, we used play to learn everything we needed to survive and thrive. We fearlessly tried things out that made us look silly, we said sentences that didn\u2019t make traditional \u2018sense\u2019. We blurted out sounds just to see what noises they made, and we threw our bodies into all different shapes simply because we could. It felt good to play, didn\u2019t it?\nAnd yet, I see very few people committing to play in their adult lives. When kids want to play, there is a massive market designed to help them do so. There are adventure parks and playgrounds where they can roam and climb and get muddy. And most of all, there is the general consensus that children are supposed to play. As adults, our playtime seems to be more regimented. Our new breed of \u2018fun\u2019 now comes from browsing social media, or sitting around tables and talking. And of course, there\u2019s nothing wrong with that. But we do seem to have lost touch with the wild side of ourselves. The side which doesn\u2019t want you to save your shoes by walking around a puddle, but wants you to jump straight into it \u2013 the messier, the better.\nSo much relies on our ability to play. The sense of fun in our lives, our creative abilities, our faith in the world and the universe. When we remember to play, we remember to enjoy, to laugh, to ease the difficult times in our lives. We free ourselves to create, to find unexpected joys and talents within ourselves.\nThis last week has been rainy and cold here in Wellington. And it\u2019s made me want to wrap up warm, eat vegetables, read books, have long baths and get to bed early \u2013 all things that I fought hard against as a child. So this week, I challenge myself to worry less, to try new things (even if they seem silly) and to play at every opportunity.",

        "title": "Helping Your Child Deal with a Bully | Live Q&A with Coach Rebecca - Complete Performance Coaching",
        "raw_content": "Today\u2019s Topic: Helping Your Child Deal with a Bully\nHi everyone. Welcome to Q&A with Coach Rebecca. I\u2019m Rebecca Smith, founder and director of Complete Performance Coaching. Every week I come online and do a Facebook Live, which then turns into the PerformHappy podcast. You can check us out there at PerformHappy.com. The live videos also hit the blogs which you can find at completeperformancecoaching.com/blog. It\u2019s where all of our live videos me and the other coaches get posted, week by week, so you can find lots of good tips. Plus, we also email it out. If you would like to get on our email list, you can also find us at completeperformancecoaching.com.\nLast week I talked about mean moms. This week I\u2019m going to turn it to the mean girls in the gym, or more broadly put, \u201cthe bully\u201d on your kid\u2019s sports team or it could even be in school.\nI\u2019ve done talks before on what you know, how to help the kids. I\u2019ve also done talks in the PerformHappy community about how to get through bullying situations. This really does play a big part in somebody\u2019s sport confidence. If they have someone on their team who is underhanded, excluding, and not kind, that can really challenge somebody\u2019s confidence.\nToday I\u2019m going to talk to parents directly about this issue. What do you do if your child is being bullied by someone on their team or in their school? I know what I would want to do. I would want to go and kick some little kids if they were messing with my little girls. Well, that\u2019s probably not the best way to go about it. I\u2019m going to give you some concrete suggestions on what you can do to help your kid through this situation.\nStep 1: Set Your Own Emotions Aside\nThe first thing you want to make sure of is that you\u2019re not letting your own emotions or memories come into place. The second that I think about my girls are being bullied in school, I go back to Steven in seventh grade being just awful to me. I have had his words playing in my head for decades. It\u2019s embarrassing how long those words were stuck in my head.\nWhen I think about a kid being bullied, I have my own emotional reaction, which I have to be in charge of as the adult. If you have any of that, which I think anyone who\u2019s ever been a kid probably had some element of \u201cmean kids\u201d, you want to get grounded and not let that take over for you.\nDon\u2019t come from a place of, \u201cI want to get back at that little brat, Steven.\u201d No, you want to be a grounded presence that your kid can depend on and lean on in this unsteady time of their life. You don\u2019t want your emotions flaring. Instead, you want to be able to come into your own body, be in the moment, and not have to get all freaked out with them. That\u2019s not going to actually help. Do your best to not let your mama bear instinct or your past bullying trauma takeover. You\u2019re just going to be you in this moment. You\u2019re the adult, you\u2019re the foundation.\nStep 2: Don\u2019t be the Hero\nFrom there, I want you to think about not being the hero. It\u2019s actually better to stand back and not dive right into this situation. I talked to a woman not too long ago who is in charge of helping kids get into college. She specializes in helping athletes get recruited to college. She said the number one thing that you can do to help your kid get into college is to let them fail.\nAllow Conflict\nI\u2019m going to say along those same lines \u2013 one of the best things you can do to allow your child to have good relationships and good experiences with other humans is to let them have conflict. I\u2019ve read a lot about siblings because you know, I was not kind to my little brother and I have like bad guilt about that. I\u2019m so afraid my girls are going to be at each other\u2019s throats, so I\u2019ve read a lot about it. It\u2019s actually really good practice to be in conflict with your sibling because it\u2019s where you learn how to do conflict. You learn how to resolve conflict in a safe place.\nIt\u2019s Not Your Job to Fix It\nOf course, these other kids are not necessarily a safe place like a sibling is, but it\u2019s part of the journey of growing up and learning how to deal with other humans. It is not your job to fix it. Now, that doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t help, but buy you soothing it or getting in there and taking care of it or fixing the problem, you are nipping it in the bud for them. You\u2019re depriving them of a pretty essential life process that they need to learn. This is something that they\u2019ll need for their entire life, so don\u2019t take that lesson away from them.\nStep 3: Get More Information\nAfter you\u2019ve calmed yourself, you have stood back a bit, I want you to get more information. Think of it like this metaphor. If it\u2019s just a little disagreement, that\u2019s a little sniffle, like you might be getting a little sick. That\u2019s following my analogy here.\nMaybe it\u2019s a conflict where there\u2019s something\u2019s not good, that\u2019s the common cold of youth interaction \u2013 they\u2019ll have a little disagreement with one another.\nOr is it a one-sided hostility where one person has no power or strength to stand up for themselves. That\u2019s the plague. You don\u2019t want to treat a sniffle like the plague. You don\u2019t want to go, \u201cOh, these two girls aren\u2019t getting along. Bring in the troops and let\u2019s solve it.\u201d You don\u2019t want to call a meeting and get everyone together and text their moms. You don\u2019t do that even with conflict. Even if they\u2019re having a disagreement and they are not friends right now and there is drama, that\u2019s not your place.\nWhen to Get Involved\nNow, if it\u2019s a situation where somebody is being victimized, it\u2019s a one-sided thing where they\u2019re being targeted, they\u2019re being victimized in the end, it is not okay behavior. That\u2019s when you want to step in.\nMake sure you get as much information as possible about the actual magnitude of what\u2019s going on. Even though it may feel massive, you want to take a pulse on it. Then your job is to validate your child\u2019s feelings, not to solve the problem and not to tell her what to do. It\u2019s to listen.\nRepeat the Information\nShe\u2019s going to describe to you what\u2019s going on. Now you might look at it and go, \u201cOh my gosh, you\u2019re being such a brat. This is not a big deal,\u201d but that\u2019s not what you\u2019re supposed to say. You might be going, \u201cThat horrible kid. I want to kick her butt.\u201d That\u2019s also not useful. Instead, the best thing you can do in that situation is reflect their words back to them. If she says, \u201cMom, they wouldn\u2019t let me sit with them at lunch. It was awful and I don\u2019t ever want to go back to school,\u201d you\u2019d say something like, \u201cOh my gosh, they wouldn\u2019t let you sit with them at lunch. That must feel so horrible. I don\u2019t blame you for never wanting to go back to school.\u201d\nRepeat her words back and she will feel heard. In a situation where she\u2019s being excluded or being treated unkindly, all she wants to hear is that you hear her. Your job is to validate her feelings.\nYou want to avoid saying things like, \u201cIt\u2019s fine. This will blow over.\u201d That might seem like the right thing to say, but it\u2019s not, because this is not fine. For her, it feels humongous and awful. If you discount this by saying, \u201cDon\u2019t worry, this will blow over. They\u2019re just jerks. It doesn\u2019t matter,\u201d she\u2019s going to feel like you\u2019re not listening.\nShe\u2019ll probably say, \u201cDo you not understand that my life feels very ruined right now?\u201d Again, you say, \u201cOh my gosh, you poor thing. It must feel like your life is ruined right now.\u201d It seems simple, right? This is pretty much what I do in my marriage and as a parent. I just repeat the kids\u2019 words back to them, repeat the husband\u2019s words back to him, and they feel heard and everybody\u2019s okay.\nFrom there, once you\u2019ve defused it by just listening, then you can come in with a little bit of constructive assistance. What you\u2019re doing isn\u2019t solving the problem or just asking good questions, open-ended questions. An example would be, \u201cI see that you\u2019re upset. What\u2019s one thing you could do to make it better?\u201d She may go, \u201cNothing. I can never make anything better. This is so horrible. I don\u2019t ever want to go back.\u201d\nCome back with, \u201cCan you think of just one thing, just a tiny, teeny, teeny little thing that can make it a little bit better?\u201d Try that line of questioning versus, \u201cWell, you obviously have to stand up for yourself.\u201d\nDon\u2019t tell them what to do. Just open the door and ask good questions so that they can start problem-solving for themselves. Once you get into that, ask more questions. \u201cIf you do this, how do you think it would look? What might you say and who would you need to talk to?\u201d Those would be great questions to ask them.\nStep 6: Be a Boring Target\nOnce you\u2019ve gotten into problem-solving mode, you\u2019ve felt the feelings, now it\u2019s time to be constructive. Here\u2019s where they get their power back. You help them discover anything that they can do to get the target off their back or to be the bigger person. Help them find something they can do differently so they become a really boring target. That\u2019s always what I suggest to the kids \u2013 be a boring target. Don\u2019t give them anything that makes them feel like they\u2019re getting a rise out of you.\nYou can ask them, \u201cWhat are you doing that\u2019s making you so interesting?\u201d Be very careful in your word choice, but help them to figure out if there is anything they could do that would make them less interesting to the bully that would make it so that they kind of get bored. There\u2019s always something that they may have done that\u2019s made them an attractive person to pick on.\nMaybe they don\u2019t have any control in it, but my guess is they do. If they can find something that they\u2019ve done to set it into motion then they can stop doing that, and that\u2019s where they get their power. This is a really good life lesson for when they outgrow school and there are going to be grownups that they\u2019re not going to mesh with.\nStep 7: The Buddy System\nFinally, help them avoid the toxic situation. If we have determined this is the plague, this is some really bad behavior that you don\u2019t want to deal with, make sure there\u2019s a buddy system in place. You want them to have a friend who is always there when they\u2019re going to be encountering the bully. A bully is not going be as rude when there\u2019s somebody else there. The friend acts as a buffer.\nHandling a Bully with Clout\nNow, if the bully is a coach, do you need to switch gyms? If the bully is a gym owner or somebody who\u2019s got a lot of clout in this place where you are and it\u2019s a toxic environment, what do you need to do to remove yourself from it? Can you? Maybe all you can do is buddy up and become a boring target. That\u2019s fine if you\u2019ve decided that this is a place where you need to be for your sport goals and it\u2019s feeding her positively in other ways. You can stay, but something I just asked the PerformHappy parents Facebook group was, \u201cWhen is enough, enough? When is the culture of the sport going to shift enough to where you can expect that an adult will never be the bully to your child?\u201d That is something that I hope for my kids and hope for your kids as well.\nSo remember, back off. Let them feel heard. Confront respectfully. Last week we talked about how to deal with the bully directly when it\u2019s the mom who\u2019s the bully or the coach or the owner. You can click here if you want some tips on how to actually talk to that bully.\nThanks, everyone! Send me questions to rebecca@performhappy.com. Join us at PerformHappy.com in the community.

        "title": "LDS Church Accused of Buying Names for Proxy Baptisms",
        "raw_content": "LDS Church Accused of Buying Names for Proxy Baptisms\nSalt Lake City -- Not even a year after the Mormon church again promised to stop baptizing dead Jews into its faith, the Mormons have raised concerns by funding the preservation -- at 10 cents a sheet -- of thousands of names of dead Russian Orthodox Church members.\nThe church flatly rejects allegations that it is buying the names of dead souls, and insists the effort in Russia is aimed only at providing an archive of genealogical data for the good of all mankind.\nOthers say the church is continuing its oft-criticized ritual of posthumously baptizing the dead as Mormons -- a practice called \"proxy baptism\" that critics say is rife with ethical and moral holes.\n\"Obviously we can't approve the practice, it takes away the most essential gift God has given people, their freedom,\" said the spokesman for the patriarchal parish of the Russian Orthodox Church in the United States.\n\"It turns religion into magic,\" continued Father Joseph, a hieromonk who does not use his last name and is secretary to the administrator of the parish, St. Nicholas Russian Orthodox Cathedral in New York.\nThe Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has long collected names from government documents and other records worldwide. The names are then used in temple rituals, during which Mormon stand-ins are dunked in water to offer the dead salvation and entry to the Mormon religion.\nIt's primarily intended to offer salvation to the ancestors of Mormons, but many others are included.\nThe practice \"does not force a change of religion on any deceased person,\" said Dale Bills, a spokesman for the Utah-based church which has more than 11 million members worldwide. \"Proxy baptism is a caring expression of faith that provides deceased persons the opportunity to accept or reject what we believe to be a blessing offered in their behalf.\"\nSalt Lake City independent researcher Helen Radkey said she has found such notable non-Mormons as Adolph Hitler, Anne Frank, and even Catholic popes and saints within the church's database -- called the International Genealogical Index -- of 600 million names.\n\"From our perspective, the Catholic church does not recognize the validity of Mormon baptisms,\" said the Rev. Ronald Roberson, the associate director of the Secretariat for Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops in Washington, D.C.\n\"Rebaptisim is, by definition, an impossibility,\" he said. \"Either you're baptized or you're not.\"\nBut Mormon faithful believe that individual ability to choose continues beyond the grave.\n\"Nothing is forced on anyone,\" Bills said. \"Since no offense is intended, we hope none will be taken.\"\nEven though Catholics believe the rebaptisms change nothing in the afterlife for the deceased, Roberson said he could see how finding out that a service has been done on one's behalf might affect their survivors.\n\"It constitutes a denial of the baptism that already took place,\" he said. \"People could certainly have reason to be upset.\"\nIn 1995 the Mormon church agreed with Jewish leaders to end its practice of posthumously baptizing Jews. However, after several Jewish organizations complained that the practice hadn't stopped and Radkey produced the names of at least 20,000 Jews in the index, the church last December rededicated itself to ending the practice and removing the names.\nRadkey, however, said many names still have not been removed, despite what she called a \"cosmetic\" clean-up two months ago of Jews who died in concentration camps. In fact, within the last few months she has found the names of prominent Jews still in the database, albeit under their original names or those with alternate spellings.\nThey include David Ben-Gurion, Israel's first prime minister, and Theodor Herzl, Hungarian journalist and the founder of Zionism.\nRadkey said the inclusion of Ben-Gurion, listed by his birth name of David Green and baptized since 2000, indicates the Mormons are not sincere about abiding by the agreement with Jewish leaders.\n\"If he would be done since the 1995 agreement, then they'll do any Jew,\" she said.\nBills said the church is actively abiding by the agreement, and will remove Jewish names when they are presented to church officials.\nThere's no agreement with the Russian Orthodox Church, however.\nThe Mormon church arranged through the cash-strapped Russian Society of Historians and Archivists in Moscow to reimburse the labor costs for transferring 18th-century church membership lists to microfilm.\nThe church says it is a service to humanity. Historical, genealogical data is preserved on microfilm, and is safe from natural disasters since one copy is kept with the sponsoring organization and the other in Salt Lake City.\nAfter objections were raised last month by one Russian Orthodox Church parish east of Moscow, the practice has been suspended for further review.\nThe concern extends to the church's U.S. office, which says the Mormons have no right to rebaptize people into a different faith after their deaths.\n\"The decision that the person makes is made here on Earth, that's final,\" said Father Joseph, the church's New York-based spokesman.",

His deception continued for two years.\nThen a new conductor took over. He told the orchestra that he would audition each player personally. One by one the musicians performed in his presence. At last came this flutist\u2019s turn. Frantic with worry, he pretended to be sick \u2014 but his lies caught up with him. The doctor who examined him declared him perfectly fine.

        "title": "The 6 Major Groups That Rule Fintech's Future - Dataconomy",
        "raw_content": "The 6 Major Groups That Rule Fintech\u2019s Future\nToby Triebel \u00b7 October 20, 2015\nToby Triebel 2015-10-20\nWith McKinsey projecting fintechs to take as much as 60% of banks\u2019 retail profits in the future, it\u2019s not surprising that the financial industry is scrambling to retain customers every way it can. However, traditional financial institutions still expect consumers to come to them: fintech\u2019s great strength is to adapt to consumers.\nBut who is fintech adapting to? A close look at the burgeoning industry\u2019s many-faceted interest groups not only gives us an idea of who is benefitting from fintech right now, but also the industry\u2019s most likely growth areas in the future.\nMassolution\u2019s 2015 CF report estimated that the global crowdfunding market will grow to an enormous $34.4 billion in 2015. Fintech companies can streamline and develop this into new funding avenues for entrepreneurs. Fundingtree, for example, is a crowdfunding platform that provides real-time evaluation of pitches by experienced business professionals.\nA variety of fintech companies also focus their services on the needs of MSMEs and early stage entrepreneurs. Traditional financial institutions cannot provide loans to MSMEs easily due to high charges and inefficient processes. Capitalizing on automated credit scoring technologies, fintech companies can lend to MSMEs more efficiently, which will foster a much more positive culture around entrepreneurship.\nThe off-the-gridders\nFintech will enable people who, for structural, legal or political reasons, are off-the-grid, to get on it. bKash allows people who are not formally connected to the banking sector to send and receive money via mobile phones. This is a highly effective solution, since 70% of Bangladesh\u2019s population live in rural areas without ready access to financial services.\nSimilarly, immigrants and refugees are often excluded from mainstream banking systems. That\u2019s where companies like Monese come in. Monese allows immigrants and refugees to open current accounts via their mobile phones, and provides them with a Visa card \u2013 overcoming some initial problems of settling in a new country.\nThe send-money-abroaders\nFintech will benefit individuals, companies and charities; anyone who needs to transfer money abroad. To this date, sending money abroad still largely relies on antiquated business models involving hidden charges and high remittance rates.\nFintech companies have been able to work around traditional charges and horn-in on the transfer industry (with over $500 billion sent abroad each year by individuals). Peer-to-peer exchange benefits from charging a fraction of the typical 5-8% in fees that transfer giants like Moneygram and Western Union conceal inside their advertised exchange rate. British charity Comic Relief stated in 2014 that communities in Sub-Saharan Africa were being \u201churt\u201d by transfer remittance fees; reducing fees helps overcome financial exclusion, as more money reaches recipients.\nLikewise, SMEs aren\u2019t catered for; complex processes and hidden charges applying specifically to them when making transfers. Money Mover, a fintech startup in this area, calculates that SMEs make an incredible $5.6 trillion in international payments and monetary transfers annually \u2013 an enormous market fintech can cater to.\nFintech services for finance professionals can be found, for example, in the field of property and hedge-fund management. Add to that the growth of tools like Planwise which provides detailed analysis of proposed housing investments to aid decision-making, and the fintech market becomes more than the sum of its parts; it becomes a substantial addition to current forms of financial operation.\nFintech leverages technology to limit the amount of investment risk. This will foster the development of companies using data to provide investing and risk expertise. FutureAdvisor, for example, provides private clients and financial professionals with a data-based analysis of their investments. The trend to turn to tech companies for financial expertise means we can expect major disruption in this area, and the adoption of more reliable fintech data and expertise by finance professionals and institutions.\nFintech and digital natives were made for one another. Young people are more amenable to innovations in technology, especially at a time when they are increasingly more careful with their finances. The most likely reason for their financial scrupulousness is the global recession of the past few years.\nFintech startups like Number 26 serve this demographic by offering a fully-fledged bank account on smartphones, which not only clusters spending in beautiful visuals, it assists young people in thinking more clearly about their financial management. Services which cater specifically to the needs of young people will grow significantly with online insurance and student tuition being two areas for future growth. Companies like Tuition.io are already making headway in the latter. This combination of fintech with digital native desire to become more financially conscious means the technology will play a vital role in shaping young people\u2019s perceptions and management of their money.\nCyber-security experts\nFintech involves money and technology: two things hackers and criminals love. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin are so popular with these groups because of the significant gains and anonymity offered. A total of more than $1 billion was stolen in bitcoins in 2014 alone, including the infamous attacks on Mt. Gox and Flexcoin. Additionally, analysts from the Southern Methodist University, Dallas estimate that a quarter of all Bitcoin exchanges were subject to fraudulent activities.\nThese scary-sounding facts have an upside: criminal interest in fintech will mean greater investment in cyber-security in the future. Expect the emergence of a meta-fintech sector, dedicated to protecting the privacy and wealth of customers, as well as the tools used in exchanges like wallets. Cyber-security firms like Digital Shadows will continue to grow, providing threat analysis as well as tools to prevent hacks. Thus, fintech will play a vital role in securing the integrity and safety of online markets.\nTags:BerlinfintechSpotcapstartupsToby Triebel\nSixth Round of Confirmed Speakers for Data Natives 2015\nPhocas Software, a Leading Business Intelligence Vendor in World's Largest Business Intelligence Software Review\nToby Triebel\nToby Triebel is the CEO and Co-Founder of Spotcap, an online lender for small and medium sized businesses.",

        "raw_content": "Give Back to Caesar What Is Caesar\u2019s\n\u201cLet everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended. For the one in authority is God\u2019s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God\u2019s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience. This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God\u2019s servants, who give their full time to governing. Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.\u201d Romans 13:1-7\n\u201cGive back to Caesar what is Caesar\u2019s and to God what is God\u2019s.\u201d Mark 12:17\nSubmitting to authority is not a popular topic these days. We like to be in charge of our lives and tend to resist the idea of coming under anyone or anything.\nBut the Bible has a lot to say about the importance of submission; both within the Church and outside of it. Here are a few observations about submitting to secular governing authorities, whether that\u2019s your boss or your government:\n1. Submission is not ultimately about whether you agree with your authority\u2019s policies or not. Nor is it about whether you like the authorities themselves. As long as they aren\u2019t asking you to do something immoral (and Romans 13 operates on the assumption that they\u2019re not) it\u2019s about honoring God by honoring the order and orderers he\u2019s established. Paying taxes was a hot topic in Jesus day because they were outrageously high and went to support an oppressive government. Yet Jesus told his followers to pay them anyways and focus on giving their lives back to God.\n2. True submission is on the authority\u2019s terms, not our own. Again, unless we\u2019re resisting an immoral law, it\u2019s not our place as Christians to pick and choose which rules we\u2019d like to follow and which one\u2019s we\u2019d like to ignore. Little kids do that and it\u2019s a sign of immaturity, not wisdom or sophistication. It\u2019s our place to give the authorities whatever we owe them.\n3. When we rebel against the governing authorities God has established, it hurts our character, our witness, and often those around us. It can also get us into hot water. Saying we follow Jesus but rebelling against authority is a bit of an oxymoron \u2013 like the crazy driver with the Jesus fish bumper sticker. It should be no surprise when a cop eventually pulls them over.\nA few concluding thoughts:\nSatan held the first rebellion. When we sinfully rebel, we\u2019re following in his footsteps.\nIf you have to look over your shoulder, you\u2019re probably out of line.\nSubmission can refine our character like nothing else, similar to the transformation a Marine might experience while going through basic training.\nAuthor Dave MierauPosted on February 28, 2014 March 1, 2014 Categories Submission\nPrevious Previous post: Being Okay With \u201cOn The Way\u201d\nNext Next post: Feeling Safe With A Person",

        "raw_content": "What $1 Million Buys You in the DC Area\nIn What X Buys You this week, UrbanTurf takes a look at properties on the market in the $1 million range to give readers an idea of what type of homes are available in this price point in the DC area.\nPalisades Bungalow With a Deceptive Facade\nFrom the front, this Palisades bungalow looks like a modest, one-story home with a small attic. However, a rear addition added significant square footage to the MacArthur Boulevard listing. On the main level, the addition provided space for a large dining and family room area. Upstairs, there are a total of three bedrooms, two of which came as a result of the renovation. The lower level has a carpeted area that could be a fourth bedroom or family room, and one unfinished room.\nListing Agent: James Coley, Long & Foster Real Estate\nFour-Bedroom Rowhouse One Block from Eastern Market\nThis four-bedroom was last on the market in 2008, and has been well-maintained with historic details like a fireplace and original heart-of-pine floors. The location just a block from Eastern Market is convenient, and makes the two off-street parking spaces both useful and critical. The basement unit, which has exposed brick walls and brick floors, is currently occupied, and the new owners would likely be buying the lease as well (though buyer beware: the unit does not have a separate Certificate of Occupancy.)\nA Contemporary Home in Cabin John\nWith its peaked roof and siding, this Cabin John four-bedroom has a facade that seems to fit in to a typical suburban neighborhood. However, built in 1987, the home is a bit more contemporary and adventurous than it first appears. The layout is open and bright, with many two-story areas, and many of the rooms are brightened by skylights. The backyard is lush and private.\nFull Listing: 7809 Tomlinson Avenue, Cabin John, MD (map)\nListing Agent: Hans Wydler, Long & Foster Real Estate\nSee other articles related to: what x buys you, palisades, eastern market, dclofts, capitol hill, cabin john\nThis article originally published at https://dc.urbanturf.com/articles/blog/what_1_million_buys_you_in_the_dc_area1/7540\nC said at 5:29 pm on Wednesday September 11, 2013:\nAre you sure that the house on the Hill has a legal basement rental? The listing says, \"in-law suite\" and I'm not sure that I saw a front and a back entrance. While I know that you can have a window that would work for the 2nd egress, I didn't see one in the photos that seem like it would suffice as that 2nd egress. Could anyone clarify that point? Thanks\nShilpi said at 6:19 pm on Wednesday September 11, 2013:\nHi c, Yes, you are correct. We double-checked with the agent and it is an in-law suite not a legal rental. Thanks, Shilpi\nUrban Turf, cool - thank you for clarifying this point.\nKelly Virbickas said at 10:39 pm on Wednesday September 11, 2013:\nI am the listing agent for the Capitol Hill House, and while there is no official Certificate of Occupancy (C of O), there is nothing to \"beware\" about. It is a great house in an outstanding location, with off-street parking, and all the features that buyers are looking for! I hope you will join me for the Open House on Sunday, September 15, 1-4. Thanks for featuring us, Urban Turf!\nC said at 10:58 pm on Wednesday September 11, 2013:\nHi Kelly, I wanted to say that my question had nothing to do with suggesting that your listing was \"suspect\" in any way, so I apologize if you might have thought so. Your listing, in fact, represented it fairly (indicating that it was an in-law suite), while it was the article that mentioned it was a \"legal\" property, which suggests there is a CofO. I thought it was important to clarify, since sometime those things get tossed around. As for the house, I think the photos look lovely and, friends of mine just bought a house, part of me wishes this had been on the market a couple of weeks earler because it would have been a great option for them.\nmona said at 10:59 pm on Wednesday September 11, 2013:\nKelly -- Urban Turf just did an article today about what to do if you are about to buy a house with an illegal rental unit. There is very much something to \"beware of\". All it takes is one upset neighbor or tenant to report you and your looking at some significant fines and even more money to get the unit in a legal status with proper egress and ceiling height. The sellers could take a legit hit on the price for not having the C of O and putting the buyers in a potentially legal/financial nightmare.",

In order to improve one\u2019s journey through this mountainside community to the Grand Basin, capital investments must be made. The goal of the proposed design solutions is to solve for the locals first, in turn, attracting tourists to experience a space that\u2019s supported by its own people. The goal of this report is to educate involved government entities, local stakeholders, and outside investors of physical and socio-economic needs within the Letan Bossier community, for the purpose of practical design application and administrative changes necessary to sustain local well-being, social balance, and structural integrity throughout the research and design development process. Local accountability, water management, safe access, and reforestation have been identified in the qualitative research process as top issues to address in order to make Letan Bossier an economically competitive agricultural tourism attraction, as it\u2019s being envisioned by investors at this time. Reporting issues highlighted by the local community will promote cultural and environmental sustainability at the forefront of a government backed effort. Here, local and international visitors are invited to experience natural wonders like the Grand Basin of Letan Bossier, the breathtaking views of the Caribbean on the way, the natural mango grove and sugarcane surrounding the basin, and a cutting-edge agricultural education from community leaders, addressing maintenance, nutritional and medicinal farming issues. The locals of Letan Bossier are the keepers of the community and specifying that role will strengthen the sustainability of the site. This sense of ownership is believed to be the first and most important step in the making of a socially, economically, and structurally sustainable community.\nLonon, Kristen Maria, \"Developing Agritourism in the Caribbean: Critical Ethnography and Sustainable Landscape Design to Improve the Human Experience at Letan Bossier, Haiti\" (2016).

He\u2019s back with a new book, Hopeless but Optimistic: Journeying through America\u2019s Endless War in Afghanistan. Kirkus Review calls it \u201ca scathing dispatch\u201d with \u201cpungent, embittered, eye-opening observations of a conflict involving lessons still unlearned.\u201d\nAs he gets into Kabul to embed with the military, the author notes \u201ca USAID (United States Agency for International Development) billboard proclaiming women\u2019s rights in English and Dari that few Afghan females can read, because almost 90 percent of them are still illiterate after more than a decade and $100 billion spent on grotesquely mismanaged US aid programs.\u201d\nThat Ring Road? Wissing writes, \u201cDuring his frantic reelection push after the botched Iraq invasion, President George W. Bush decided that refurbishing the Ring Road on a yeehaw schedule in 2003 would show Afghans how things were done the American way. Well, it did. The highway is infamous for its poor construction and extravagant price.\u201d\nIt\u2019s that kind of book. It reminds us of Peter Van Buren\u2019s We Meant Well book on Iraq.\nA couple of notes, Chapter 35 titled Embassy includes a nugget about Embassy Kabul refusing to allow the author to meet with SIGAR John Sopko who was also at post, without a minder. Sopko, according to Wissing was furious, demanding a private meeting without embassy handlers but \u201cthe diplomats won\u2019t budge.\u201d\nChapter 36 talks about Loss. A cynical USAID financial officer earlier told the author that \u201cgiven the amount of money the United States was pushing on the Afghan insiders who were \u201cbankers,\u201d he didn\u2019t blame them for stealing it.\u201d This is in relation to the Bank of Kabul scandal that involved an almost $900 million Ponzi scheme of fraudulent loans. The chapter also talks about Anne Smedinghoff and four other Americans, including three soldiers and an interpreter lost during a suicide attack in Qalat. The author previously meet Smedinghoff during a visit to the embassy compound in Kabul where the latter acted as his minder, assigned to escort him for an interview with a Justice Department official who was working the Afghan Threat Finance Cell (ATFC).\nThe author told us that he find audiences in the U.S. are often surprised to learn that Afghanistan remains our largest foreign military engagement\u2013$44 billion requested for FY 2017 (vs $5 billion for Syria) \u201cto add to the trillion dollars already wasted.\u201d He also notes that around 10,000 US troops are still there, along with up to 26,000 defense contractors.\nWe\u2019re posting an excerpt of the book courtesy of Amazon Kindle/Preview:\n@StateDept Marks Third Smedinghoff Death Anniversary, Internal Investigation Still Remains Classified\nApril 6, 2016 By domani spero in Foreign Service, FSOs, PRTs, Questions, Realities of the FS, Secretary of State, State Department, U.S. Missions, US Embassy Kabul, War Tags: Afghanistan, Anne Smedinghoff, Daily Press Briefing, death anniversary, FSOs Killed, internal review, PRT Zabul\t1 Comment\nVia state.gov/DPB:\nDeputy Spokesperson @Toner_Mark commemorates the third anniversary of FSO Anne Smedinghoff's death in #Afghanistan. https://t.co/W8zShgvji1\n\u2014 Department of State (@StateDept) April 6, 2016\nIn fact, today, April 6th, marks the third anniversary of the death of Anne Smedinghoff, a bright, rising star in the Foreign Service who was taken away from her family, her friends, and the department in an attack that took place three years ago in Zabul Province, Afghanistan. Anne was 25 years old and on her second tour as an FSO, Foreign Service officer, serving as a press officer at the U.S. Embassy in Kabul. In Secretary Kerry\u2019s words at the time, Anne was a, quote, \u201cvivacious, smart, and capable individual,\u201d end quote. And as he wrote in a note that went out to all State Department employees at the time \u2013 well, shortly after that tragic event he wrote, \u201cthat no one anywhere should forget for a minute that the work of our diplomats is hard and hazardous or that as you serve\u201d \u2013 you being the diplomats \u2013 \u201cserve on the frontlines in the world\u2019s most dangerous places, you put the interest of our country and those of our allies and partners ahead of your own safety,\u201d end quote.\nWe would also pay tribute, obviously, to the memories of the three U.S. soldiers as well as an Afghan American translator and an Afghan doctor who were also lost on that tragic day, as well as to those who were injured in that incident. We honor their memories and their service to the United States and Afghanistan.\nLast year, there was this:\nWhat a moving gesture by @USEmbassyKabul in rememberence of Anne Smedinghoff. http://t.co/xlzoo8mbNJ\n\u2014 Sayara International (@SayaraIntl) April 7, 2015\nThen a couple of weeks ago:\n\u201cIt is also unfortunate that the knowledge we gained while working in Qalat left apparently left with us. Before going any further, my partner, Dr. Ledet and I conducted research into improving education in the province. Specifically, we were tasked with learning how the US should distribute learning materials to Afghans, and we did so by working with tribal, religious, and political leaders in the area. Our report was distributed to the PRT, US military and the DoS working in the areas, and briefed to higher authorities. The senior Afghan Ministry of Education (MoE) representative for the province, and multiple leaders we consulted, provided us with the solution regarding how the US could help improve education. Our Afghan partners clearly and forcefully stated, US elements were not, under any circumstances, to provide books directly to Afghan children. Yet, Anne and the others died on a book delivery operation. WTF?\u2026\u201d\nPRT and State Department Ignorance Fails Us All: By: Zenpundit\n\"Ignorance, arrogance and incompetence b\u2026 https://t.co/C0nXreHtpC\n\u2014 Small Wars Journal (@smallwars) March 21, 2016\nSince the State Department is remembering publicly the death of Anne Smedinghoff, we\u2019d like to \u2014 once more \u2014 call on the State Department to declassify its internal report of the Zabul attack. The State Department spokesperson at that time said that no State rules were broken. If so, there should not be a problem with releasing that internal review. It would be in the public interest to see how the agency\u2019s internal review stack up against that scathing Army report.\nThere\u2019s also nothing that precludes Secretary Kerry from declassifying the internal review and voluntarily releasing it considering that the U.S. Army had already released its own report.\nBut we know as we write this that the State Department is not going to release this report or it would have done so already following the Army report.\nSo the State Department will continue marking death anniversaries, and saying solemn words of remembrance for the dead.

In 2013, attacks against American posts and staff occurred in the Philippines, Turkey, Afghanistan, Iraq, Kosovo, Pakistan, Brazil, Ethiopia, and the Congo. While majority of the attacks were against USG properties, there were casualties, killed and/or wounded in Ankara, Zabul, Kabul, Herat and Taji. It is important to note that those killed or wounded in these attacks include not only American personnel/contractors but also local employees, local contract guards, local policemen, and civilians.\nThe following details extracted from State/DS publication Confronting Danger, Year in Review 2013:\nJanuary 25 \u2013 Manila, Philippines: Some 15 to 20 protesters gathered across the street from the main gate of the U.S. Embassy to rally against the Visiting Forces Agreement.

Kerry, Leadership and Management, Public Diplomacy, Questions, Realities of the FS, Staffing the FS, State Department, U.S. Missions, US Embassy Kabul, War Tags: Afghanistan, Anne Smedinghoff, ARCENT, Bureau of Public Affairs, Chicago Tribune, FSOs Killed, internal review, Jennifer Psaki, Mark Seibel, McClathcy, Patrick Ventrell, Provincial Reconstruction Team Zabul, PRT Zabul, State Department, State/PA, United States Army, US Army, US Embassy Kabul, US Mission Afghanistan, Zabul Attack\nAs can be expected, the Chicago Tribune report citing an army investigation into the death of FSO Anne Smedinghoff and four others in Zabul, Afghanistan in April 2013 made it to the Daily Press Briefing.\nState Spokesperson Jennifer Psaki says that \u201cNo State Department officials, civilian personnel were interviewed for the military report.\u201d Since State had concluded its \u201cclassified internal review,\u201d how many military personnel did it interview for its report on that Zabul attack?\nOne, two, ten, the entire unit \u2026how many?\nWe don\u2019t know since the internal review is classified.\nAccording to the Tribune, the army report says that the security platoon already had other missions planned for that day; that the soldiers did not know how many people they were going to escort, making their job harder; also that the civilians were not wearing the proper protective gear.\nWhat does State\u2019s internal review say about this? We don\u2019t know since the review is classified.\nThe initial blast was cause by detonation from \u201ca remote-controlled bomb hidden under a pallet that was leaned up against the base\u2019s southern wall.\u201d On PRT Zabul base\u2019s wall. The report also slams the \u201cfailure of the State Department team to properly coordinate this trip with military leadership.\u201d\nThe report says that the State Department shared too much information with Afghan officials, and the group may have been targeted because specifics on the event\u2019s exact time and who would attend \u201chad leaked out.\u201d\nUm\u2026.we don\u2019t know since the internal review is classified.\nAn embassy email referenced to in the report said that Qalat was picked because \u201cwe think the visuals would be nice\u201d and it is a \u201cthe perfect place for a media tour.\u201d\nMonths or years from now when the media and the public have forgotten about this \u2014 are we going to find out that the U.S. Army conducted its investigation without talking to State Department personnel, and that the State Department, as well, came up with an internal review without interviewing any of the military personnel in Zabul?\nThe spox brought up two items that made us \u2014 whisley-tango-foxtrot!\n\u201cAfghanistan is a war zone.\u201d\nBecause we all need a reminder!\n\u201c[P]eople responsible for this tragedy were the extremists.\u201d\nHoly moly guacamole! Is that the best response we\u2019ve got every time a sapling falls in a forest?\nWe have excerpted the exchange below.\nQUESTION: So quickly on that Chicago paper report citing the army military unit investigation of the death of Anne Smedinghoff and other injuries there linked to State Department. The report makes a lot of accusations that point back to the State Department. \u201cState says that there was coordination with DOD in advance of the mission.\u201d\nMS. PSAKI: Mm-hmm.\nQUESTION: The Pentagon says Ambassador Addleton was a last-minute addition to the group, that this was a scramble, that while there had been planning in advance, there was a change to the established plan, a late add, and new requirements that required them to bring in additional military resources.\nSo when State says there was coordination in advance, was there additional coordination after the addition of this higher-level diplomat, Ambassador Addleton?\nMS. PSAKI: Well, at every stage in the process, as you know, the decisions about whether movement takes place rests with the military commander at the base. I don\u2019t have the level of detail about the specifics here, but we were closely coordinated at every point in the process. The State Department did our own review of the events that happened, and we have instituted since then a checklist in order to be as coordinated as possible at every step in the process. But from our own looking at the events and our team that was on the ground, we \u2013 every step taken, no rules or regulations were broken. Every step that was needed to be taken in that regard was taken.\nAnd let me say first of all too, of course, that regardless of that piece, the attack on \u2013 that took the life of Anne Smedinghoff, an Afghan American translator, and three members of the U.S. military and severely injured several others was a terrible tragedy, and one that, as you all know, people across this building and across the world who work at the State Department remember every day. The only people responsible for this tragedy were the extremists opposed to the many brave Afghans and Americans who have sacrificed so much to help build a stronger, more stable Afghanistan. And what they were doing that day was participating in an outreach event that was part of a nationwide public diplomacy initiative highlighting cooperation between the United States and Afghans in a number of areas. And that\u2019s a program that we\u2019ve been proud of and was underway for weeks there.\nQUESTION: The Pentagon says that the senior military commander \u2013 they agree with you that they were in charge, but say that they did call in additional resources. So when you\u2019re saying that it\u2019s really up to the military to make the call \u2013 go or don\u2019t go \u2013 what you\u2019re saying is while the commander was choosing to bring in more resources, he shouldn\u2019t have chosen to go ahead with this at all? That\u2019s where the fault lies?\nMS. PSAKI: Well, again, Margaret, I think where we are \u2013 we\u2019re not about placing fault here. We\u2019re about looking at this, as we have, and determining, with any event that happens around the world, what we should do moving forward. We work closely with the Department of Defense, with military commanders on the ground, whether it\u2019s ISAF or otherwise, to make sure we take every step to keep our people safe. That doesn\u2019t mean that tragic events don\u2019t happen. Afghanistan is a war zone and we, of course, can honor the memory of Anne and the others who died that day by not only learning from it and what we do moving forward, but by continuing to do many of the programs that they were undertaking that day.\nQUESTION: Can I ask you, now that the military unit on the ground has finished its review, will the State Department reconsider its initial review? Because per the State Department, the investigation of the incident happened immediately afterwards, before the military unit submitted its review and its account of what they saw happen on the ground. So \u2014\nMS. PSAKI: Well, just to be clear, Margaret \u2014\nQUESTION: And that\u2019s why it didn\u2019t go to an ARB.\nMS. PSAKI: \u2014 this was an army field after action report that happened on the ground. And typically, what happens with these is that these reports are done by an investigating officer in the field. We understand that under DOD procedures, this field report would be transmitted through the military chain-of-command to be ratified and modified and further distributed. I\u2019m not aware of that happening at this point. No State Department officials, civilian personnel were interviewed for the military report. We have done \u2013 the Department as well, through Embassy Kabul \u2013 has done our own review to determine what occurred and whether security procedures required adjustment. That review is classified. But there have been multiple investigations in this case, and we undertook our own review here.\nQUESTION: But given that the Army\u2019s review now is done and that they have pointed to fault in this building \u2014\nMS. PSAKI: Well, to be clear, again, this is important \u2014\nQUESTION: \u2014 is it worth reconsidering?\nMS. PSAKI: This is important because this is \u2013 again, this was a report done by an Army unit, an Army unit field report. It has to work its way through the chain of command. I\u2019m not aware of that happening yet. I would, of course, point to the Department of Defense, and they can all take a look at that when that happens. But we\u2019ve done our own review.\nQUESTION: Yeah. They\u2019ve said they\u2019re not probing it further at this point, at the Pentagon level because (inaudible) \u2014\nMS. PSAKI: Well, but there\u2019s still a process that it goes through regardless.\nQUESTION: And \u2013 but at this point, is it fair to say the State Department is not moving ahead since, in Afghanistan and Iraq, they are exempted from going to the ARB level of investigation? And there was a decision not to go to that level because they didn\u2019t have \u2014\nMS. PSAKI: Well, but we did our own review regardless \u2014\nQUESTION: \u2014 when they had the meeting, they decided not to there \u2014\nMS. PSAKI: Regardless of that, we did our own review. Yes, Afghanistan is a war zone, so it falls under different requirements, but we still did our own review regardless of that.\nQUESTION: But at this point, it is a closed matter? Is that correct?\nMS. PSAKI: It\u2019s never a closed matter in the sense that you\u2019re still remembering the memory of the people who lost their lives.\nQUESTION: Of course.\nMS. PSAKI: And you\u2019re still learning from the experience, and I mentioned a checklist we\u2019ve put in place. And we\u2019ll continue to evaluate on that basis. But again, our efforts now are focused on continuing to coordinate with the military at the operational and tactical level in these situations, and if for some reason the military unit is unable to meet the provisions of our checklist, our personnel will not participate. So you do take what you\u2019ve learned, you adapt it moving forward, and you do everything you can to honor the memory of the lives that have been lost.\nOn April 10, 2013, McClatchy filed a lengthy report: Witness: Anne Smedinghoff, other Americans killed in Afghan bombing were on foot, lost. Five days later, then State Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell denied that Smedinghoff\u2019s party was lost:\n\u201cMedia reports suggesting that the group was lost are simply incorrect. They were going to a compound across the street from the PRT,\u201d he said in written responses to emailed questions.\nVentrell said the purpose of what he called the \u201cmission\u201d that led to Smedinghoff\u2019s death was a news conference featuring the senior U.S. official in southern Afghanistan and the Zabul governor to promote a book donation project and the \u201cgrowth of literacy.\u201d\nVentrell called \u201chighlighting Afghanistan\u2019s ongoing progress for both national and international media\u201d an \u201cintegral part of our work.\u201d\n\u201cThis is what we do, and we believe in it,\u201d he said. \u201cOur diplomats believe in getting out beyond the wire to reach people. In this case we were engaging with the people of Afghanistan AND the local government.\u201d\nAccording to the State Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell, reports suggesting that the group was lost are \u201csimply incorrect.\u201d\nThe Army report now confirmed that the party \u201chad the wrong location for the school.\u201d\nThat official word from the State Department was never retracted.\nSo the Smedinghoff party was not/not lost, but they had the wrong location for the school? What kind of story is this? Is there another meaning for the word \u201clost\u201d that we have yet to learn? We know about \u201cget lost!\u201d so no need to email us. Mr. Ventrell is now the Director of Communications for the National Security Advisor Susan Rice.\nOn April 24, 2014, McClatchy\u2019s Mark Seibel writes:\n\u201cIt\u2019s unclear whether there\u2019s been much soul searching at the State Department. In the Tribune story, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki sounds unrepentant. \u201cThe only people responsible for this tragedy were the extremists opposed to the mission,\u201d the Tribune quotes her as saying, then adds that \u201ca classified internal review of the day was conducted, . . . and the department determined no State rules were broken.\u201d\nWe have folks who complained to us \u2014 either that the State Department or Embassy Kabul was thrown under the bus in this army report.

(diplopundit.net)\nTaliban Attack Kills US Diplomat, Three NATO Troops and Civilians in Zabul, Afghanistan (diplopundit.net)\nOn April 23, 2014, Chicago Tribune\u2019s Geoff Ziezulewicz has an exclusive on a scathing Army report concerning Ms. Smedinghoff\u2019s death, the three U.S. soldiers, Staff Sgt. Christopher M. Ward, 24, Spc. Wilbel A. Robles-Santa, 25, Spc. Deflin M. Santos Jr., 24, and an unidentified interpreter in Afghanistan on April 6, 2013. The report says that the mission deliver books \u2026. \u201cwas plagued by poor planning that \u201cfailed at all levels.\u201d It also confirmed a tip we received a year ago that a top State Department official, Ambassador Jonathan Addleton, was at the book dropoff with Smedinghoff. The report says the senior official \u201cmay have been the main target, although insurgents were perhaps targeting anyone partaking in the mission. The report also notes that the planning and security that should be afforded such a VIP was not provided in this instance. Addleton\u2019s presence at the event that day had not been previously disclosed.\u201d\nThe Army report, obtained by the Tribune through the Freedom of Information Act also says that the security platoon already had other missions planned for that day; that the soldiers did not know how many people they were going to escort, making their job harder; also that the civilians were not wearing the proper protective gear. The book event at the school was reportedly characterized in military briefings as a \u201cMedia Extravaganza.\u201d One soldier reportedly wrote in a statement that he described the event as providing \u201cHappy Snaps,\u201d or photo opportunities, for top officials in Kabul. The company supplying the books reportedly desired \u201cmore media reporting.\u201d Scholastic and State Department representatives told the Tribune that the company did not mandate any kind of publicity event.\nMs. Smedinghoff\u2019s father, Tom Smedinghoff, said that he had not seen the Army investigation before Wednesday, according to the Tribune. Meanwhile, the State Department spox told the Tribune that a classified internal review of the day was conducted, and that the department determined no State rules were broken.\nThe Tribune citing the Army report says that planning for the book giveaway began with a U.S. Embassy email on March 18, 2013, to a State Department civilian at the base. It was to take place at a boys\u2019 school just outside the south wall of the base in the city of Qalat and would be covered by Afghan media.\nWe think that this is the school where the book event was to take place.

Brian Ferguson\nBelow is a quick excerpt from the Tribune\u2019s report: Poor planning led to River Forest diplomat\u2019s death in Afghanistan:\nA U.S. mission to deliver books to a school in Afghanistan that ended in the death of a young foreign service officer from River Forest was plagued by poor planning that \u201cfailed at all levels,\u201d according to a scathing Army report obtained by the Tribune.\nThe Army report for the first time criticizes civilian and military leaders for not following security protocols in the lead-up to the mission.\nThe email, sent from the special projects coordinator of the embassy\u2019s public affairs section, requested \u201can event to publicize the distribution of books provided by Scholastic, Inc.,\u201d the report said.\n\u201cScholastic donated quite a lot of books for use in the schools in Afghanistan and it took a very long time for those books to get here,\u201d a copy of the email enclosed in the Army report states. \u201cScholastic would like to see more media reporting.\u201d\nQalat was chosen because a local official had requested such a visit and \u201cpartly because we would like Scholastic to feel as though we are doing something,\u201d the email states. \u201cBecause we think the visuals would be nice, we thought that Qalat would be the perfect place for a media tour.\u201d\nApparently, the State Department\u2019s presence at the base in Zabul ended 12 days after the attack. The Tribune also reported that the Army administratively disciplined two officers after the attack. Do you know what happened internally at State following the Zabul attack?\nRead the full report here and weep.\nWe sent emails asking questions about this incident last year, nothing except one came back. One source in Kabul would not confirm or deny the circumstances surrounding Ms. Smedinghoff\u2019s death. The individual also declined to provide details of the the attack. There was a concern then that this could become political given what happened in Benghazi. But more telling perhaps was what my source pointed out \u2014 that Ms. Smedinghoff would not have had the authority to make the decision about her movements. No one gets to make those decisions unilaterally at US Mission Afghanistan.\nWe\u2019d like to see the State Department declassify its internal report on the Zabul attack. We think the Smedinghoff family should have access to it if it so desire. The State Department spokesperson said that no State rules were broken. If so, there should not be a problem with releasing that internal review. It would be in the public interest to see how the agency\u2019s internal review stack up against the Army report.\nThat said, we do not/not think that State will disclose its internal review unless compelled to do so by court or the Congress.\nOf course, nothing precludes Secretary Kerry from declassifying the internal review and voluntarily releasing it now in light of the Army report.\nWitness: Americans killed in Afghan bombing were on foot, lost (stripes.com)\nState Department\u0092s Anne Smedinghoff had left Kabul for book donation event (miamiherald.com)\nYoung US diplomat among 6 killed in Afghanistan (worldnews.nbcnews.com)\nState Department diplomat with Chicago ties killed in Afghanistan (wgntv.com)\nWitness: Anne Smedinghoff, other Americans killed in Afghan bombing were on foot, lost (mcclatchydc.com)\nFriends of Kelly Hunt Start Online YouCaring.com Fundraiser for Hunt Family\nApril 25, 2013 By domani spero in Af/Pak, Foreign Service, MEDical, Realities of the FS, State Department Tags: Afghanistan, FS-wounded, Fundraiser, Kelly Hunt, Qalat Zabul Province, Zabul Attack, Zabul Province\t1 Comment\nState Department Public Diplomacy Officer Kelly Hunt was wounded on the April 6, 2013 suicide attack in Qalat, Afghanistan. About a week after the incident that killed five Americans and seriously wounded Ms. Hunt as well as three others, and as she was moved to a hospital in Germany, her friends back home, Brian DeNicola, Regan Hildebrand, Becky Reindel, Jen Vinci, Beth Doyle-Hudson & Valerie Cizl decided to organize a fundraiser to support Ms. Hunt\u2019s family.\n\u201cBecky met Kelly at work. Brian and Regan met her through rowing. Jen, Beth and Valerie knew her from elementary school. She touched our lives in many ways and the last few days have been difficult for everyone.\u201d\nOn June 8, Regan will be climbing Mt. Rainier in Seattle, Washington. He was originally going to climb the mountain for fun. In light of Kellly\u2019s accident, he\u2019s now climbing Mt. Rainier for her and will stand on the summit on June 12 for Kelly.\nThe fundraiser located at you caring.com \u2013 http://www.youcaring.com/medical-fundraiser/climbing-for-kelly/52529 \u2013 had $1,000 for its original funding goal. As of this writing, the fund has raised $7093 from 114 supporters across the Foreign Service, EPA, colleagues in Afghanistan, folks from the University of Tennessee and the News Sentinel newsroom, and from friends and friends of friends.\nOver in FB, the Kelly Hunt\u2019s Road to Recovery page also put together by friends provided a link to the fundraiser with the following note:\nWe have been contacted by so many wonderful people across the world who are interested in donating to Kelly\u2019s family in order to help ease the costs associated with traveling to see her when she arrives at Walter Reed, and other costs that arise during this time. Please visit the page below if you would like to contribute financially. All proceeds will go directly to the family. Thank you!\nMs. Hunt\u2019s mother, Dinah told us that the help organized by friends \u201cwill allow us to be with our daughter.\u201d If you are want to help, check out the youcaring page here. If you want to send messages of support to the Hunt family and/or follow her recovery, you can check the Kelly Hunt\u2019s Road to Recovery in Facebook where her mother provides regular updates on Kelly\u2019s condition including the following:\nI know that people in the DC area are eager to see Kelly, however, it won\u2019t be possible for quite awhile. She\u2019s in intensive care right now. I want to thank everyone for their prayers and words of encouragement. They are definitely helping our family to cope. This is a marathon; not a race sprint and I appreciate your support.\nWe understand that a separate hometown fundraiser was also done by several friends of Ms. Hunt last April 20 at the Deja vu Nightclub in Lorain, Ohio (thanks JA!).\nLorain County native hurt in bombing (newsnet5.com)\nUS Mission Afghanistan: Public Diplomacy Officer for Kandahar, Kelly Hunt Wounded in Zabul (diplopundit.net)\nZabul Attack: Walking But Not Lost, More Details But Not Official; Plus Update on Kelly Hunt (diplopundit.net)\nApril 10, 2013 By domani spero in Af/Pak, State Department, U.S. Missions, War Tags: Afghanistan, Anne Smedinghoff, FSOs Killed, FSOs Wounded, Kelly Hunt, Provincial Reconstruction Team, Qalat Zabul Province, Shamshad TV, US Mission Afghanistan, Zabul Province\t7 Comments\nVia Jay Price and Rezwan Natiq, McClatchy Newspapers, Posted on Wednesday, 04.10.1\nAhmad Zia Abed, a reporter for Shamshad TV, said he and a videographer from his station were among about a dozen people, including the officer, Anne Smedinghoff, 25, whom American soldiers were escorting on the 200-yard walk from the local headquarters of the U.S.-led Provincial Reconstruction Team to what they thought was the school. A man at the gate said they had the wrong place, though, that this was the provincial agriculture institute.\nThe group retraced its steps to the American base to figure out what to do next, Abed said. The entrance to the base is just a few feet from the street, he said, and just as they reached it, walking more or less in single file, something slammed into his back and he staggered forward.\nAbed\u2019s account of the bombing, the most detailed to surface since the explosion, raises new questions about the circumstances that led to the deadliest combat incident in Afghanistan for Americans this year and contradicts what relatives of the victims have said they were told \u2013 that Smedinghoff and her military escorts had been in an armored vehicle when it was rammed by a suicide vehicle. Smedinghoff was the first American diplomat to die in Afghanistan during more than 11 years of warfare here.\nThe FBI has opened an investigation into the attack, said a U.S. government official who declined to be identified because of that investigation. He confirmed Wednesday night that the party had been on foot, and said earlier reports that they were in a vehicle convoy were inaccurate.\nSmedinghoff\u2019s father told journalists in the United States that he\u2019d been told she was in a vehicle and the bomber either rammed it or detonated his explosives nearby. But Abed said she\u2019d been his media escort all the way from Kabul to Qalat, the capital of Zabul province, and that he was certain she was on foot.\nTom and Mary Beth Smedinghoff\u2019s Statement on Daughter Anne Killed in Afghanistan (diplopundit.net)\nDeath of an FSO, and the Tragedy in Zabul (republicofsnarkistan.net)\nThe Death Of A Young Diplomat Is Only Half The Tragedy In Zabul (businessinsider.com)\nUS diplomat killed in Afghanistan wanted to help (miamiherald.com)\nApril 10, 2013 By domani spero in Af/Pak, Foreign Service, FSOs, Realities of the FS, State Department, U.S. Missions Tags: Afghanistan, DPB, Kelly Hunt, Patrick Ventrell, Qalat, US Mission Afghanistan, Zabul Province\t1 Comment\nOn the April 10 Daily Press Briefing, State Department Acting Deputy Spokesperson Patrick Ventrell confirmed the identity of Kelly Hunt as one of the four State Department employees injured on the April 6 attack in Zabul, Afghanistan.

VENTRELL: Good afternoon. I have one thing at the top. On a somber note, I would like to provide an update on the State Department personnel who were injured in Saturday\u2019s attack in Qalat, Afghanistan. In addition to those tragically killed, four Department employees were injured as the party was moving on foot a short distance to a school, wearing personal protection gear and under escort of U.S. soldiers.\nWith the family\u2019s permission, I can confirm that Kelly Hunt, who was a Public Affairs officer with Kandahar Airfield Regional Platform-South in southern Afghanistan, was wounded and has been medevaced to Germany, where she is receiving the best possible medical care. Secretary Kerry spoke with Kelly\u2019s father on Saturday and with her mother yesterday and conveyed his sympathy to the family during this difficult time.\nTwo employees with less serious wounds are receiving ongoing treatment at NATO-ISAF medical facilities in Afghanistan. The fourth employee was treated for more minor injuries and has been released. Out of respect for these employees and their families\u2019 privacies, those are all the details we can offer on the injured.\nAnd just to reiterate what Kelly and her colleagues were doing in Zabul Province on that day, it was \u2013 they were going to bring children\u2019s books in Dari and Pashto to a school as part of an Embassy-funded program in cooperation with the Afghan Ministry of Education to promote literacy and provide teacher training. Afghanistan\u2019s literacy rate is one of the lowest in the world, and through a cooperation with the Government of Afghanistan, the U.S. Embassy has distributed 1.9 million books to 27 of Afghanistan\u2019s 34 provinces and provided training for their use in classrooms. So, as Secretary Kerry noted in Istanbul, this team was helping the children and educators of Afghanistan build a better future.\nQUESTION: I\u2019d like to go back to Afghanistan \u2014\nMR. VENTRELL: Yeah.\nQUESTION: \u2014 because the initial reports about this incident were that they were in a convoy, and now, as you said, it\u2019s clear they were on foot. What can you tell us about the circumstances of the actual attack and why the story\u2019s changed?\nQUESTION: And then also, was this \u2013 is this changing the way that you guys are thinking about operating in Afghanistan in general?\nMR. VENTRELL: Yeah. Thanks for the question, Michele. I think part of the initial confusion came about because there were reports in the media about the local governor and his convoy. And so some of our initial reporting also indicated that, and that\u2019s why we weren\u2019t able to clarify right away. So our initial read on it was different, and we\u2019re now able to say that it was a convoy and they were walking.\nIn terms of all the rest of what happened that day, it\u2019s still under investigation, so I don\u2019t have a lot of other details to provide. But we are able to clarify at this point that they were in a walking movement from the PRT down to the school down the road. It appears that this convoy of the governor was right there at approximately the same spot when it occurred, but again, this remains under investigation.\nIn terms of our security for our personnel in Afghanistan, I\u2019d really refer you to the Embassy for their posture, but obviously, we continually review our security. We don\u2019t necessarily advertise exactly what precautions we\u2019re taking, but when there\u2019s a serious incident of this nature we review all of our procedures.\nQUESTION: But does it make you think twice about doing \u2013 I mean, this is a public diplomacy thing.\nMR. VENTRELL: Right.\nQUESTION: You could\u2019ve delivered books quietly and not with a big show like this.\nMR. VENTRELL: Well, we\u2019re \u2014\nQUESTION: Does it make you think twice about doing that?\nMR. VENTRELL: We\u2019re going to continue our mission and assisting the Afghan people. I can\u2019t specifically say how we\u2019ll change any of our programming based on this incident. But the Secretary was clear, we\u2019re going to continue in our mission in Afghanistan to help the people of Afghanistan. And this clearly, helping them in their literacy programs, is a vital program that will continue.\nQUESTION: But it would be fair to say that you\u2019re reviewing your security procedures and how you do the \u2013 implement these type of programs as a result?\nMR. VENTRELL: We\u2019ve absolutely reviewing after this incident.\nQUESTION: Sorry. You said they were walking from the PRT to the school?\nQUESTION: And what kind of distance was that?\nMR. VENTRELL: I don\u2019t know the exact distance, but we\u2019re \u2013 this is in yards, not \u2013 it was a short distance down the road. So it happened very close to the PRT.\nQUESTION: And then it was characterized as it was a big show. Was there some kind of ceremony that was going on?\nMR. VENTRELL: I don\u2019t know the whole details of how that day\u2019s book presentation was going to go, but I do believe we had Afghan media.\nQUESTION: Is that why the governor was there?\nMR. VENTRELL: I\u2019m not sure about the governor\u2019s participation. I\u2019m not sure if he was going at the same moment to go \u2013 again, this is all under investigation. These are just some of the information that we\u2019re able to share at this time.\nQUESTION: Could you confirm there were two suicide bombers?\nMR. VENTRELL: I cannot confirm at this time any other further information, only that they were walking when the attack occurred.\nApril 9, 2013 By domani spero in Af/Pak, Foreign Service, FSOs, Media, Public Diplomacy, Quotes, Realities of the FS, Secretary of State, State Department, U.S. Missions, War Tags: Afghanistan, James Cunningham, John Kerry, Jonathan Addleton, Kabul Press Office, MRAP, Zabul Province\t6 Comments\nIn the early morning this past Sunday, a day after Anne Smedinghoff and four others were killed in Zabul, Afghanistan, I received an untraceable anonymous note that she was walking, and was not in a vehicle when she was killed. The four-sentence tip alleged that she was with Ambassador Jonathan Addleton, the American Senior Civilian Representative (RC-South) in Kandahar and asked a rhetorical question, \u201cWill anyone be held accountable? doubtful.\u201d\nAmbassador Addelton was formerly the U.S. ambassador to Mongolia. The Senior Civilian Representative, in the embassy\u2019s view is \u201cthe co-equal of the military commander of that region rather than a member of his staff\u201d (for more of that, see this).\nSo, what do you do with something like that? Do you ignore it or chase it down the rabbit hole? Does it really matter whether they were walking in a red zone or were inside a vehicle? They\u2019re still dead.\nBut it\u2019s been bugging me quite a bit.\nSo I sent out emails asking questions. On Sunday, I sent an email to the top accountable civilian official in Afghanistan, Ambassador James Cunningham, and another to the embassy press office for comment. I never heard anything back.\nBut one email did come back. One source in Kabul would not confirm or deny the circumstances surrounding Ms. Smedinghoff\u2019s death. The individual declined to provide details of the the attack (which may or may not mean anything, of course). There was a concern that this could become political given what happened in Benghazi. But more telling perhaps was what my source pointed out \u2014 that Ms. Smedinghoff would not have had the authority to make the decision about her movements. No one gets to make those decisions unilaterally at US Mission Afghanistan.\nWhile I could not confirmed that she was walking in a red zone when the attacked occurred, she was a second tour junior officer with three years under her belt. I can\u2019t imagine a JO telling the MRAP team to let her out because she\u2019s going to walk, can you?\nWhat we know from news report:\nThe attack occurred on Saturday, April 6 at around 11:00 in the morning in Qalat, in the Zabul province of Afghanistan.\nThe attack was carried out by a suicide bomber in a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device (VBIED) and one bomber with a suicide vest.\nThree U.S. service members killed: Staff Sgt. Christopher M. Ward, 24, of Oak Ridge, Tenn., Spc. Wilbel A. Robles-Santa, 25, of Juncos, Puerto Rico, and Spc. Deflin M. Santos Jr., 24, of San Jose, Calif.\nTwo U.S civilians killed: Anne Smedinghoff, FSO, a still unidentified DOD civilian\nFour State Department staff wounded, one critically: Kelly Hunt, FSO (assigned in Kandahar) three still unidentified staffer.\nSmedinghoff and Ward\u2019s remains arrived at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware on Monday afternoon.\nVia The Guardian: The attacker detonated a vehicle full of explosives in the centre of Qalat just as a US military convoy passed the provincial governor and his entourage. The blast killed and seriously injured several people from both groups.\nVia WSJ: A senior provincial official in Zabul said insurgents targeted a convoy carrying Gov. Ashraf Nasari, who was on his way to the ceremony at the local school. Zabul provincial police chief Ghulam Sakhi Rogh Liwanai said a bomb-laden Suzuki automobile was parked outside the provincial hospital to target the governor\u2019s convoy. Around the same time the car bomb went off, the police chief said, a suicide bomber detonated an explosive vest.\nVia USAToday: Officials said the explosion Saturday came just as a coalition convoy drove past a caravan of vehicles carrying the governor of Zabul province to the event at the school.\nVia WaPo: There is no greater contradiction, Kerry said, between Smedinghoff\u2019s zeal to \u201cchange the world\u201d and help others and a bomber who he said drove a car into their vehicle.\nVia State Department \u2013 Secretary Kerry:\n\u201cAnd someone somehow persuaded that taking her \u2013 his life was a wiser course and somehow constructive, drives into their vehicle and we lose five lives \u2013 two Foreign Service, three military, large number wounded, one Foreign Service officer still in critical condition in the Kandahar hospital because they\u2019re trying to provide people with a future and with opportunity.\u201d\nA retired FSO quoted in WaPo says:\n\u201cShe was well-protected, so the lesson here is there is no \u2018zero risk,\u2019 \u201d said Daniel P. Serwer, a retired Foreign Service officer in Bosnia and Kosovo and now a professor of conflict management at SAIS.\nBut what if she wasn\u2019t well-protected? Now, I understand this is a war zone and they must make calculated risks. But \u2026\nWas she walking with others when they were hit? No one in an official capacity is willing to answer that question (I missed this one \u2013 but, knoxnews.com reported that \u201d Family members have said [Kelly] Hunt was walking with Smedinghoff when the bomb went off.\u201d \u2013 thanks TSB!)\nWhy is the State Department saying that they were killed when their vehicle was hit if they were not inside the vehicle?\nIf true that they were walking, who gave the order that they should walked in a red zone?\nWhat is considered acceptable risk in a red zone if you\u2019re conducting public diplomacy work?\nWhat happened to the Afghan journalists who were reportedly being escorted to Qalat?\nIf they were inside an MRAP when they were attacked \u2014 does that mean an MRAP and a suicide vest together can kill a Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) which apparently is the vehicle of choice in Qalat? I\u2019m sure somebody who knows more than I do about the types of MRAPs used in the south will pipe in. Here is one type, not sure this is the kind used in Qalat on April 6.\nWere there debris of the convoy in the immediate aftermath of the attack? The AP had a brief video online, and pics \u2014 how many disabled MRAPs can you see there?\nWired Magazine once had this piece about the MRAP talking about its virtues:\nOne of the main virtues of the MRAP lies in its hull. Shaped like the letter V, it disperses the blast from homemade bombs that other trucks absorb \u2014 and which kill and wound the troops inside. Soldiers and Marines who rode in them in Iraq and Afghanistan reported that sometimes they didn\u2019t even realize they had rolled over one of the bombs.\nAnd do you remember General Frank Helmick?\nAccording to Military Times, on August 24, 2008 Helmick survived a suicide bombing of the MRAP vehicle he was riding in near Forward Operating Base Marez in Mosul. The suicide car bomb attack killed the attacker and damaged the International MaxxPro Plus vehicle, but Helmick, Brigadier General Raymond \u201cTony\u201d Thomas, an Iraqi general and others inside the vehicle were not seriously injured.\nSomething doesn\u2019t add up, see?\nSo, is there a story here somewhere or should we ignore it because anonymous sources don\u2019t count, and because people die in the war zone all the time?\nUS Mission Afghanistan: Public Diplomacy Officer for Kandahar, Kelly Hunt Wounded in Zabul\nApril 9, 2013 By domani spero in Af/Pak, Defense Department, Foreign Service, FSOs, State Department, U.S. Missions, War Tags: Afghanistan, Anne Smedinghoff, Christopher M.

She reportedly is in a medically induced coma at a military hospital in Germany. This is probably the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany.\nAccording to her LinkedIn Account, Ms. Hunt joined the State Department last year and has been the public diplomacy officer in Kandahar since July 2012.\n\u201cAs a public diplomacy officer for the U.S. Embassy in Afghanistan, I serve as the RC-South Ambassador\u2019s PD officer and the civilian PD liason for military command.

        "raw_content": "A large number of United Methodist congregations are struggling \u2014 with money, with members, with commitment, with leadership, with a host of problems large and small. Many of these churches aren\u2019t doing anything wrong to cause these problems \u2014 in fact, they aren\u2019t doing anything much at all. And that\u2019s the source of the trouble. For years I have been curious to understand the large number of United Methodist congregations that do essentially nothing beyond the walls of their buildings. This is not, I repeat NOT, in any way to ignore the incredible mission work The United Methodist Church does at all levels. Missional outreach and Christian service is in the denomination\u2019s DNA \u2014 it helps define us as \u201cUnited Methodist.\u201d But that\u2019s the point. About one-in-five (20%) of our churches do nothing or next to nothing for those outside the church. Another 20-30% limit their missional focus to whatever good is done through apportionments, and a significant number of our congregations support mission work passively \u2014 giving money so that other people might do it. The important correlation here, however, is that our healthiest congregations are those that have active, widespread, committed engagement from a large number of people in a large number of good works.\nThe outward and visible signs of our inward and spiritual graces is not merely a nice poetic turn \u2014 it is the tangible evidence that we are truly engaged in the will of God and the work of Christ. Yet, for years I have received resistance to the idea. When I wrote the Bible study, FaithQuest, in 1996 \u2014 based on Luke, Acts, Ephesians, and teachings of John Wesley and The United Methodist theological task and Social Principles \u2014 I received a number of angry emails challenging my reading of scripture. The thesis of FaithQuest is that we are formed in the faith, equipped to be disciples of Jesus Christ, through the empowerment of God\u2019s Holy Spirit we become the body of Christ, and we continue to serve and function as Christ for the whole world, This is the sweep from Jesus\u2019 invitation to follow me, through the Pentecost miracle, to the formation of the \u201cchurch\u201d as a mission/vision focused institution to Wesley\u2019s vision of the world as our parish. To this day I don\u2019t believe I imposed much of an interpretation on the biblical and theological materials (beyond selecting those books that best illustrate the universal servant/service nature of the church), yet many were angry. One woman pastor from Michigan wrote:\nHow dare you imply that it is not enough that we take care of one another in the church. Our world is a hostile and dangerous place. There is a reason we call our places of worship \u201csanctuaries.\u201d It is all we can do to cope with the sin and corruption of our modern age. We welcome people to come in out of the darkness and trouble for comfort and security. It is unfair of you to place a burden of guilt on us because we don\u2019t share your liberal agenda.\nIt always breaks my heart when I hear people link the notions of kindness, caring, healing, helping and generosity to a political agenda. I cannot help but feel this woman\u2019s pain. Life is indeed difficult and the world can be a scary faith. We truly do need a faith that protects and defends, but that alone is an incomplete faith. We\u2019re not the only ones hurting, and we do not have the luxury of merely receiving the blessings of Christ and holding onto them for ourselves. What we have received, we are expected to share with others \u2014 whether we believe they are deserving or not.\nOn the practical side, churches that do for others tend to be healthier churches. Giving is higher in missionally focused congregations. Levels of participation and engagement tend to be higher. Morale and spirit tend to be higher. Just the other night I visited a small rural church where no fewer than five people proudly shared stories of the mission work being done by their congregation \u2014 and not just a few members of the congregation, but by the majority of the congregational members. A few years ago I visited one of the poorest congregations (financially) I have ever seen. They had funds for virtually nothing \u2014 including paying a full-time pastor or paying their apportionments in full \u2014 but just about every member of that church served in some mission-focused capacity in the community. The spirit and energy in that congregation was infectious \u2014 a congregation with constant money worries where every person was smiling and singing and proudly sharing stories of the power of Christ to touch and change lives. It was refreshing.\nI have often likened congregational life to breathing, and ask the question, \u201cwhich is most important? Breathing out or breathing in?\u201d (Answer: depends on which you did last\u2026) Sustainable health depends on balance \u2014 inhaling (inward practices that develop us in our faith and abilities to serve) and exhaling (applying what we learn in service to others). Inwardly we build faith, while outwardly we express that faith as a witness to others of the grace and goodness of our God. Evangelism isn\u2019t just about the words we say to get others to come to us; true evangelism is the integral message of our entire lives \u2014 what we say and do (faith without works is dead\u2026).\nA number of years ago I met with a church that was considering closing its doors. A once-thriving congregation of over 400 had dwindled to less than 50 and the building was literally falling down around their ears. They could no longer afford a full-time pastor and they were struggling just to pay bills month to month. In all their discussions and planning, not once did church leaders talk about the mission of the church or the work they could do. They had no vision of the present, let alone the future. Yet, they were located in the heart of a community struggling with many of the same issues they were. High unemployment, low-income, struggling families, a higher-than-usual percentage of older adults, and a large, poor Native American population within just a few miles. Through the process of planning, the leaders decided that they would work to close the church\u2026 but in three years. During those three years, they would select one main ministry to focus on in the community. They would offer help and assistance to the Native Americans. They would open the church fellowship hall to mothers with young children. They would work to help the elderly and the homebound in the community. This plan was put into place in 1995\u2026 and the church still functions today, still very small, but strong and stable and making a difference in the lives of hundreds of people.\nWe all need reminders that the church isn\u2019t ours, it\u2019s God\u2019s \u2014 and it exists to fulfill God\u2019s will and purpose, not our own. But when the church really takes off? That is when God\u2019s will and our will coincide \u2014 where what we do is a clean match for what God wants done. We talk a lot about sin as an individual act, but throughout the history of the Hebrew people and the earliest Christian history, culture was not so much defined by individuals as communities. \u201cSins\u201d weren\u2019t what individuals did; \u201csin\u201d was the \u201cmissing the mark\u201d (the literal definition of sin) of the whole community. When we are not engaged beyond our own needs, wants and desires, we are missing the mark. But when our life together bears fruit that feeds and satisfies a starving and struggling world, then we are right on target.\nCategories: Christian discipleship, Christian witness, Congregational Life, Missions, serving those in need\nTagged as: Christian service, Evangelism, Mission & Purpose\nClayton Childers says:\nthanks Dan for a wonderful post. The breathing image makes perfect sense to me. We need balance \u2013 being called out of the world into the church and being sent from the church into the world \u2013 discipling and \u201capostling.\u201d I also point people who question our social calling \u2013 where did Jesus spend his ministry but in the hyways and byways, fields and seashores. He went to the people, serving them and calling them.\nI am using the lectionary readings from 1 Cor 12 and 13 the next three weeks as an inspiration to do some serious conversation and work around spiritual gifts the next three weeks. (We are even doing a gifts inventory during worship. That may be a lead balloon.)\nMy hope is that this will be a step toward seeing some possibilities for mission through gifts.\nIt could be a step toward a new pastor.\nPingback: What is a church?

        "title": "Ten Book Marketing Strategies \u2013 Into the Mind of the Writer",
        "raw_content": "Ten Book Marketing Strategies\nOn November 9, 2015 April 14, 2018 By dragonqueen3In Guide to Write\nSorry for the delay in my blog posts again. I\u2019ve been extremely busy at my day job because all of the snowbirds are coming back to town. I\u2019ve got a really good topic to discuss with you all today. In my Fantasy Writers group on Facebook, a member asked for marketing tips. When I gave them the following suggestions, they claimed it was more work than writing the book itself but \u201cthanks anyway.\u201d If you plan on being a true author, the first thing that you\u2019ll understand is that you can\u2019t just write the book and then be done with it. You have to market that book for the rest of your life in order to make any money from it. Without further ado, here\u2019s the list of suggestions. It\u2019s more effective if you do all of them but, as a beginner or someone with limited time, you can pick and choose what works for you and it will still be very effective.\n1. Personal website. Everyone that I know who is a successful author has their own website. They use it to update their readers on their book releases, deals, and tidbits of information to keep their intrigue until the next book comes out.\n2. Blog. In order for your blog to be successful, you need to post at least 1-3 times a week. Anything less will rapidly lose your audience. I\u2019ve been blogging solidly for five and a half years now on this site. That\u2019s more than long enough to figure out that the more you blog, the more traffic and followers you get. When you don\u2019t keep up with it, they lose interest rapidly.\n3. Facebook ad/Newspaper ad. Do both of these. Try setting up a $5 ad on Facebook and see how well it does. I assure you that you\u2019ll get at least 30 new Likes and 1-5 book sales. That more than gets you your money back and everyone on Facebook will still be talking about it when the ad goes away (through sharing).\n4. Do R&Rs (read and reviews). There are several websites where you can pay to have hundreds of people R&R your book. The cost of this is very small considering that a higher number of reviews will make new readers purchase your books.\n5. Have a mailing list. The people who follow you have e-mails. That\u2019s how they see that you\u2019ve made a new blog post or published a new book. With this in mind, set up special announcements directed at them so they know that you care about your readership and don\u2019t just send out mass updates.\n6. Advertise daily in Facebook groups designated for advertising. You should always join several groups that allow you to promote once (or more) a day within the group. Most people post all of their links in one post. Don\u2019t do this because it\u2019s overwhelming. I find myself skipping over all of those because it makes the person seem desperate and to be honest, I don\u2019t have time to sort out the links to the sites that I actually use to follow people. No matter what book link you share, always include your author page link. Even if you don\u2019t accumulate any sales, you\u2019ll at least accumulate several Likes.\n7. Go to your local book stores and leave business cards/personalized bookmarks. This option is harder for introvert authors or ones that are very busy with the day job and families but there\u2019s no excuse to not do this. Eventually, you have to get out of the house or have a family outing. Stop by a local bookstore, speak to the manager, and just drop off a handful of cards, bookmarks, or flyers.\n8. Ask your local bookstores/libraries to host book signings for you. While you\u2019re at that local bookstore or library, ask if they\u2019ll host a book signing for you. Always offer to order and bring copies of your books on your own if they seem dubious about letting you have a signing. It usually convinces them because it costs them no money and you only need a small table in the corner but it gets their store traffic.\n9. Hire a marketing business. The most obvious option is just to hire a marketing company. Within your budget, of course!\n10. Word of mouth. Word of mouth is the strongest marketing strategy in order to obtain lots of sales. People are more likely to trust their friend that your book is amazing versus believing an advertisement that you clearly paid for.\nThe Dragon Queen\u2019s Den \u2013 Online Bookstore\n\u201cShadow Blossom\u201d Free \u2013 Nov 19th and 20th\n2 thoughts on \u201cTen Book Marketing Strategies\u201d\nOnce upon a time, this is what publishers were for.\nQuite a few don\u2019t provide good marketing anymore.",

        "raw_content": "EARL and EATRIS have joined forces and signed a collaboration agreement regarding the establishment of a Zirconium PET/CT accreditation programme in July 2014.\nFor further information about EANM please visit www.eanm.org.\nFor further information about EANM/EARL please visit www.eanm.org and http://earl.eanm.org.\nDespite advances on research at the molecular level with enhanced understanding of the underlying mechanism of diseases researchers continue to struggle with the process of advancing research findings towards healthcare products in development. In recognition of this, EATRIS (www.eatris.eu) was founded in 2008 and entered operations in 2013 after being awarded permanent ERIC (European Research Infrastructure Consortium) legal status, a sign of the commitment of the 8 European countries participating in the initiative. EATRIS is a distributed infrastructure comprising over 70 non-profit and academic translational research institutions, collaborating to overcome bottlenecks in the development of drugs and diagnostics. One of the core activities focuses on the evaluation of new (targeted) antibody therapies.\nEARL and EATRIS are aware of the need for an accreditation programme for Zr-PET/CT. Dedicated PET imaging studies are performed using 89Zr labeled antibodies allowing to study the pharmacodynamics and kinetics of antibodies as well as the level of specific targeting (in tumors). To this end it is essential that all PET/CT imaging devices within the EATRIS network and beyond are cross-calibrated and have harmonized image characteristics such that imaging data collected within the network can be shared and pooled and are of sufficient quantitative accuracy. The latter can be achieved by setting up a Zr-PET/CT accreditation program similar to the already existing FDG PET/CT accreditation.\nThe set-up of this programme is split into several phases (Preparatory Phase, Testing/Validation Phase, Pilot Phase and Running Phase) in order to ensure a high quality outcome. The accreditation programme should be opened for everyone at the latest per Q2/2016.\nAt the EANM\u201914 EATRIS will present the infrastructure that encompasses the complete translational pipeline up to clinical proof-of-concept, offering access to valuable infrastructure such as GMP manufacturing, high-end (molecular) imaging facilities, regulatory and clinical expertise and patient cohorts. EATRIS shares the goals of EARL-EANM to improve and advance scientific initiatives as well as clinical research projects. Together with EARL-EANM, EATRIS will develop strategies towards harmonisation and standardisation of (multimodal) PET imaging to improve the quality and speed of transnational access to multicentre clinical trial activities, involving (molecular) imaging to support innovative first in man trials involving PK/PD and mode of action studies as a distinguished feature of the infrastructure.\nFor further information about the congress please visit http://eanm14.eanm.org/.\nThe European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM) is the umbrella organisation of nuclear medicine in Europe and represents the sector towards the European Institutions. Within this role, the EANM aims at advancing science and education in nuclear medicine for the benefit of public health as well as at promoting and co-ordinating, throughout Europe and beyond, discussion and exchange of ideas and results relating to the diagnosis, treatment, research and prevention of diseases through the use of unsealed radioactive substances and the properties of stable nuclides in medicine. The goal of the EANM is thus to provide a suitable medium for the dissemination and discussion of the latest results in the field of nuclear medicine and related subjects.",

        "raw_content": "\"The Animal Kingdom\" from the All My Relations triptych\nThe title, All My Relations is a Native American prayer expressing the interconnection of all life. The art work is in the shape of a medicine wheel or mandala, a cognitive tool used in Native American and Tibetan Buddhist traditions. Each piece in this series reveals the Earth as the primary revelation of the Divine. Together they tell the Story of Our Universe, from its inception in the Mind of God through to the flowering of human consciousness. They depict the unity of the spiritual, human and natural world.\nThis triptych was inspired by the work of Thomas Berry and Teilhard de Chardin which reveals that each of us is the sum total of 15 billion years of unbroken evolution and is totally unique and unrepeatable. Humanity is that being in which the Earth (and the Universe) comes to reflect upon itself. Teilhard called this new dimension of self-reflexive awareness the noosphere (from the Greek word noos, meaning consciousness). Gaia, the ancient Earth Goddess refered to in the title of these works, is the name given to the scientific theory developed by atmospheric chemist James Lovelock, postulating that the Earth is a living organism.\nThis perception of unity between humans and the Earth is essential to developing a new, benign relationship with our planet. Given the destruction that humans have visited upon the natural world, this view is critical to our survival and the fate of the Earth. We must reclaim the ancient knowing of our intimate relatedness to the rest of Life \u2014 to All Our Relations.\nVisit Angela's full gallery at https://www.angelamanno.com/index.php\nAngela Manno \u2013 Artist's Biography\n\u201cAngela Manno has contributed to the Great Work in an astonishing variety of ways: her art, her activism, her Quaker faith, her teaching. All resonate with the message of human-Earth relations so transformed that Earth community is again a realizable goal.\u201d\n\u2014 Thomas Berry, eco-theologian, author of The Great Work\nAngela Manno's art and teaching are dedicated to the vision of humanity and the Earth living as one healthy and harmonious being. She is an internationally exhibited artist, writer and educator. She is known for her mastery of a wide variety of exacting media, as well as her pioneering work combining contemporary, western art media with ancient, non-western forms.\nAngela has been researching the pattern that connects personal and planetary well-being for nearly 30 years. To that end she has explored many ways of knowing, including indigenous shamanism of North and South America, the Earth Literacy program at Genesis Farm in New Jersey, and in an internship at Solviva Bioshelter with the award-winning practical ecologist, Anna Edey.\nShe is a graduate of the School of the Spirit (Quaker) Ministry On Being a Spiritual Nurturer. She created and taught \u201cEco-spirituality & Action,\u201d a multi-disciplinary, semester-long course on the principles and practices of the Ecological Age to adults and young people at Friends Seminary in Manhattan. It became the basis of the \"Eco-Spirituality and Action Minute\" (https://www.nyym.org/nurture/ewg/peacewithearth.html), a further articulation of Quakers' long-standing Peace testimony that calls for the cessation of humanity's war against Earth. Her 90-minute digital slide presentation, \u201cPicturing the Ecological Age\u201d features hundreds of images of the ways people are transforming their relationship to Earth and in so doing helping to bring forth the Ecological Age.\nAngela's art can be found in the permanent fine art collections of NASA and the Smithsonian Institution as well as in private collections throughout the world. Her work has been exhibited in museums, and in group and solo shows from Mexico City to Moscow. In 2005 it was displayed at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City as part of a celebration of Teilhard de Chardin, and in 2008 at the inauguration of the Seven Pillars House of Wisdom in New Lebanon, NY. Her art has appeared on book covers including Doors of Understanding: Conversations in Global Spirituality in Honor of Ewert Cousins and in Dr. Albert LaChance's epic poem Jonah: A Prophecy at the Millennium. Her imagery has illustrated many magazine articles including pieces written by Vice President Al Gore and Matthew Fox.\nAngela's audio-visual program \u201cConscious Evolution: The World At One\u201c premiered at John Denver's Second Annual \u201cChoices for the Future\u201d Windstar Symposium in (1987) and has been featured since then at conferences on global, spiritual and environmental awareness, including the annual conference of the Association for Humanistic Psychology at Stanford University.\nAfter viewing the audio-visual program in 2007, Joanna Macy commented:\n\u201cIn her interplay of imagery, words, and sound, Angela Manno evokes the promise awakening within us as we behold the beauty of our Earth in space. This promise, as real as the dangers we face, is portrayed here with rare and simple reverence.\u201d\nFor the rest of her story please visit her website: https://www.angelamanno.com/about.php",

        "raw_content": "There\u2019s a solitary table and chair outside Hassan Hajjaj\u2019s studio in Shoreditch, London. The table \u2013 an upturned stop sign from Morocco \u2013 and the chair \u2013 a series of flattened Senegalese soda cans nailed to wood \u2013 are both Hajjaj to a tee.\nThe pop artist, photographer and designer has a habit of repurposing objects of utility. He\u2019s turned discarded Coca-Cola crates with Arabic script and advertising signs into furniture, toyed with populist consumerist culture, and used counterfeit, knock-off goods as a critique of the society. No wonder the pavement outside his Calvert Avenue shop is home to such items. It\u2019s just gone 6pm and Jenny Fremont \u2013 a friend and muse to Hajjaj and an artist in her own right \u2013 has been patiently talking to Emirates Man for the past hour. There\u2019s a small cup of coffee and a half empty packet of Cutters Choice on the table, and the light is beginning to fade in this relatively quiet corner of London. Inside, Hajjaj is talking in a strong London accent, belying his Moroccan heritage but reinforcing his capital city pedigree. We\u2019re about an hour behind schedule, but it\u2019s Frieze Art Fair and the man\u2019s in demand.\n\u201cI\u2019ve been lucky that the West and Arab countries have accepted this work as art\u201d\n\u201cIn Africa and other parts of the so-called Third World, people use crates as seats and I wanted to give them more value,\u201d Hajjaj says, when we eventually sit down. \u201cAlso, Coca-Cola is universal and you can communicate to anyone by playing with brand names. But I\u2019ve been lucky that the West and Arab countries have accepted this work as art.\u201d We\u2019re inside now, surrounded by a kaleidoscope of colour and North African exuberance. Fabrics, textiles and brands fill every inch of space, while Hajjaj himself is enveloped by the paraphernalia of the brand obsessed contemporary culture that permeates his work. Various forms of everyday packaged consumer goods, their names sometimes written in both Arabic and English, fill an intricate wall unit, while movie posters, photographs, SuperLux tables, carpets and assorted handicrafts create the kind of chaotic curated space that it\u2019s easy to become captivated by.\nAt the far end of one room, a photograph of a veiled \u2018Kesh Angel\u2019 dominates your field of vision, an old mobile phone raised to her right ear, while two Les Africains posters hung side-by-side command another. There are amusingly decked out mannequins spread around too, with the influencers of Hajjaj\u2019s work there for all to see.\n\u201cThe more you don\u2019t want it, the more it happens. That\u2019s what I\u2019ve learnt. Even when I started showing my work it took three years I think before I had the confidence to use the word artist,\u201d says Hajjaj, who was born in Morocco in 1961 and moved to London at an early age. \u201cBecause I didn\u2019t go to art college, because I didn\u2019t train, and I came from a background of unemployment and the London club scene, I found the title of artist a little bit uncomfortable. There was also the feeling that maybe it\u2019s just a moment, maybe it\u2019s not going to be long term. I\u2019d shot for maybe six or seven years and never showed any work, so I had a big body of work, but I never thought it would be a long-term thing.\u201d\nHajjaj\u2019s star, however, has been on the rise for years, as his talk on the relationship between tradition and consumerism at Abu Dhabi Art Fair last month testifies. He has been regularly exhibiting across the US, Europe, Africa and the Middle East and one of his most successful bodies of work \u2013 a series of studio portraits called My Rock Stars: Volume 1 \u2013 had its premiere at The Third Line gallery in Dubai in 2012. What\u2019s more, he was shortlisted for the Victoria & Albert Museum\u2019s Jameel Prize For Islamic Art in 2009 and his work is in the collections of venues such as the Brooklyn Museum in New York and the Institut des Cultures d\u2019Islam in Paris. Not bad for a kid afraid to call himself an artist.\n\u201cThe more you don\u2019t want it, the more it happens. That\u2019s what I\u2019ve learnt. Even when I started showing my work it took three years I think before I had the confidence to use the word artist\u201d\n\u201cYou know, I was unemployed for a few years and I started getting involved in the London scene in the 1980s,\u201d he says, discussing the roots of his art. \u201cWe started running clubs, for example. It was about creating a space, DJs, putting bands on, promoting, so I was learning how to talk to people about production. Then I bought a camera in 1989 and it was just a hobby. Every now and then I would go and shoot and, without realising, I would use all those elements that I had used before when running clubs and growing up in London. I\u2019d say \u2018OK, I\u2019m going to shoot with people\u2019, I\u2019d find people; \u2018I want to shoot in this kind of location\u2019, I\u2019d find the right spot; \u2018the women are going to wear camouflage\u2019, I\u2019d buy the fabric, take it to the guy making the outfit, dress them up. It became natural. All the stuff I\u2019ve done in the past, like running clubs, running the shop and buying stuff for the shop; you have to put collections together to try and sell, and I didn\u2019t have much money so you found a way of doing it. You always found a way.\u201d\nMuch of his work features the fake logos of global brands such as Louis Vuitton and Nike, with individual pieces framed by consumer goods and adorned with the trappings of popular culture. It is a way, he says, to make people feel at ease, to tell stories, and challenge stereotypes. He also \u201cplays with and upends stereotypes, the power of branding, and the familiarity of everyday objects\u201d, as a blurb for his Kesh Angels solo exhibition at the Taymour Grahne Gallery in New York stated earlier this year. In that body of work he sought to toy with perceptions of Arabic culture and the relationship between East and West by photographing traditionally clad but defiantly modern young women on motorbikes. The idea was to subvert preconceived notions of Arab women. In one image, the Nike logo adorns the veils of three women.\n\u201cPeople seem to see it as the power of the brand and I\u2019ve had loads of people introduce me as the guy with Coca-Cola in his work,\u201d he laughs. \u201cBut I\u2019m like a magpie. That\u2019s what\u2019s around me, that\u2019s what happened, that\u2019s what came out of me. I\u2019m coming from that lineage in the \u201980s where all these big brands were never really designed for people like ourselves, so we\u2019d go and buy the fabric and sew it into our jean jacket \u2013 Gucci or anything like that. We were aspiring to be part of that world. And also by using counterfeit products I\u2019m also presenting a layer of people like myself, because, if I was still wearing all these labels, I would probably be wearing counterfeit. There\u2019s more meaning in using counterfeit products.\u201d\nSometimes playing with contrasts, celebrating colour, and fusing design with photography, Hajjaj admits he is constantly trying to find his space in the art world and to find out who he is. Attracted to markets and cheap stuff \u2013 he had a store in Camden Market for seven years \u2013 his portraits also borrow from the tradition of African studio photography and the work of photographers such as Malik Sidibe and Seydou Keita, while his artistic versatility has led him into installation, performance, fashion, interior design and now film. \u201cI can afford to make mistakes and maybe I\u2019m a little bit freer because I didn\u2019t know what direction I was going in,\u201d he says. \u201cMy only downfall was that, technically, I\u2019m not the best. When you go and study you learn technique, which is something I didn\u2019t really have. But I\u2019ve found that by having recognisable products on the textile or around the frame, it\u2019s easier to bring people in and to engage with them. If I had a picture of somebody wearing a black dress, or black leather with a black band, with a black frame, that would probably produce negative reactions. They\u2019d think Isis and Iraq and their mind would go off in a certain direction. But if the person in the photograph has some bright colours \u2013 with Louis Vuitton and maybe Coca-Cola \u2013 the viewer says \u2018oh look, Louis Vuitton and Coca-Cola\u2019 and you immediately bring them in. It\u2019s still traditional, but you\u2019ve got to bring them in a little bit. This happened kind of accidentally, but I\u2019ve learnt this is a good way \u2013 sadly enough it\u2019s through brands \u2013 to communicate and to bring people into your work for a minute and to try and take them on a journey. You can then play with perceptions and stereotypes and say something.\u201d",

        "title": "Cofactor (biochemistry) - Wikipedia",
        "raw_content": "Cofactor (biochemistry)\nThe succinate dehydrogenase complex showing several cofactors, including flavin, iron-sulfur centers, and heme.\nA cofactor is a non-protein chemical compound or metallic ion that is required for an enzyme's activity. Cofactors can be considered \"helper molecules\" that assist in biochemical transformations. The rates at which these happen are characterized by enzyme kinetics.\nCofactors can be subclassified as either inorganic ions or complex organic molecules called coenzymes,[1] the latter of which is mostly derived from vitamins and other organic essential nutrients in small amounts. A coenzyme that is tightly or even covalently bound is termed a prosthetic group.[2] Cosubstrates are transiently bound to the protein and will be released at some point, then get back in. The prosthetic groups, on the other hand, are bound permanently to the protein. Both of them have the same function, which is to facilitate the reaction of enzymes and protein. Additionally, some sources also limit the use of the term \"cofactor\" to inorganic substances.[3][4] An inactive enzyme without the cofactor is called an apoenzyme, while the complete enzyme with cofactor is called a holoenzyme.[5]\nSome enzymes or enzyme complexes require several cofactors. For example, the multienzyme complex pyruvate dehydrogenase[6] at the junction of glycolysis and the citric acid cycle requires five organic cofactors and one metal ion: loosely bound thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP), covalently bound lipoamide and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), and the cosubstrates nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and coenzyme A (CoA), and a metal ion (Mg2+).[7]\nOrganic cofactors are often vitamins or made from vitamins. Many contain the nucleotide adenosine monophosphate (AMP) as part of their structures, such as ATP, coenzyme A, FAD, and NAD+. This common structure may reflect a common evolutionary origin as part of ribozymes in an ancient RNA world. It has been suggested that the AMP part of the molecule can be considered to be a kind of \"handle\" by which the enzyme can \"grasp\" the coenzyme to switch it between different catalytic centers.[8]\nCofactors can be divided into two major groups: organic Cofactors, such as flavin or heme, and inorganic cofactors, such as the metal ions Mg2+, Cu+, Mn2+, or iron-sulfur clusters.\nOrganic cofactors are sometimes further divided into coenzymes and prosthetic groups. The term coenzyme refers specifically to enzymes and, as such, to the functional properties of a protein. On the other hand, \"prosthetic group\" emphasizes the nature of the binding of a cofactor to a protein (tight or covalent) and, thus, refers to a structural property. Different sources give slightly different definitions of coenzymes, cofactors, and prosthetic groups. Some consider tightly bound organic molecules as prosthetic groups and not as coenzymes, while others define all non-protein organic molecules needed for enzyme activity as coenzymes, and classify those that are tightly bound as coenzyme prosthetic groups. These terms are often used loosely.\nA 1980 letter in Trends in Biochemistry Sciences noted the confusion in the literature and the essentially arbitrary distinction made between prosthetic groups and coenzymes group and proposed the following scheme. Here, cofactors were defined as an additional substance apart from protein and substrate that is required for enzyme activity and a prosthetic group as a substance that undergoes its whole catalytic cycle attached to a single enzyme molecule. However, the author could not arrive at a single all-encompassing definition of a \"coenzyme\" and proposed that this term be dropped from use in the literature.[9]\nInorganicEdit\nMetal ionsEdit\nFurther information: Metalloprotein\nMetal ions are common cofactors.[10] The study of these cofactors falls under the area of bioinorganic chemistry. In nutrition, the list of essential trace elements reflects their role as cofactors. In humans this list commonly includes iron, magnesium, manganese, cobalt, copper, zinc, and molybdenum.[11] Although chromium deficiency causes impaired glucose tolerance, no human enzyme that uses this metal as a cofactor has been identified.[12][13] Iodine is also an essential trace element, but this element is used as part of the structure of thyroid hormones rather than as an enzyme cofactor.[14] Calcium is another special case, in that it is required as a component of the human diet, and it is needed for the full activity of many enzymes, such as nitric oxide synthase, protein phosphatases, and adenylate kinase, but calcium activates these enzymes in allosteric regulation, often binding to these enzymes in a complex with calmodulin.[15] Calcium is, therefore, a cell signaling molecule, and not usually considered a cofactor of the enzymes it regulates.[16]\nOther organisms require additional metals as enzyme cofactors, such as vanadium in the nitrogenase of the nitrogen-fixing bacteria of the genus Azotobacter,[17] tungsten in the aldehyde ferredoxin oxidoreductase of the thermophilic archaean Pyrococcus furiosus,[18] and even cadmium in the carbonic anhydrase from the marine diatom Thalassiosira weissflogii.[19][20]\nIn many cases, the cofactor includes both an inorganic and organic component. One diverse set of examples is the heme proteins, which consist of a porphyrin ring coordinated to iron.[21]\nExamples of enzymes containing this ion\nCupric Cytochrome oxidase\nFerrous or Ferric Catalase\nCytochrome (via Heme)\nMagnesium Glucose 6-phosphatase\nManganese Arginase\nMolybdenum Nitrate reductase\nNickel Urease\nZinc Alcohol dehydrogenase\nA simple [Fe2S2] cluster containing two iron atoms and two sulfur atoms, coordinated by four protein cysteine residues.\nIron-sulfur clustersEdit\nFurther information: Iron-sulfur protein\nIron-sulfur clusters are complexes of iron and sulfur atoms held within proteins by cysteinyl residues. They play both structural and functional roles, including electron transfer, redox sensing, and as structural modules.[22]\nOrganicEdit\nOrganic cofactors are small organic molecules (typically a molecular mass less than 1000 Da) that can be either loosely or tightly bound to the enzyme and directly participate in the reaction.[5][23][24][25] In the latter case, when it is difficult to remove without denaturing the enzyme, it can be called a prosthetic group. It is important to emphasize that there is no sharp division between loosely and tightly bound cofactors.[5] Indeed, many such as NAD+ can be tightly bound in some enzymes, while it is loosely bound in others.[5] Another example is thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP), which is tightly bound in transketolase or pyruvate decarboxylase, while it is less tightly bound in pyruvate dehydrogenase.[26] Other coenzymes, flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), biotin, and lipoamide, for instance, are tightly bound.[27] Tightly bound cofactors are, in general, regenerated during the same reaction cycle, while loosely bound cofactors can be regenerated in a subsequent reaction catalyzed by a different enzyme. In the latter case, the cofactor can also be considered a substrate or cosubstrate.\nVitamins can serve as precursors to many organic cofactors (e.g., vitamins B1, B2, B6, B12, niacin, folic acid) or as coenzymes themselves (e.g., vitamin C). However, vitamins do have other functions in the body.[28] Many organic cofactors also contain a nucleotide, such as the electron carriers NAD and FAD, and coenzyme A, which carries acyl groups. Most of these cofactors are found in a huge variety of species, and some are universal to all forms of life. An exception to this wide distribution is a group of unique cofactors that evolved in methanogens, which are restricted to this group of archaea.[29]\nVitamins and derivativesEdit\nCofactor Vitamin Additional component Chemical group(s) transferred Distribution\nThiamine pyrophosphate [30] Thiamine (B1) None 2-carbon groups, \u03b1 cleavage Bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes\nNAD+ and NADP+ [31] Niacin (B3) ADP Electrons Bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes\nPyridoxal phosphate [32] Pyridoxine (B6) None Amino and carboxyl groups Bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes\nMethylcobalamin [33] Vitamin B12 Methyl group acyl groups Bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes\nCobalamine [5] Cobalamine (B12) None hydrogen, alkyl groups Bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes\nBiotin [34] Biotin (H) None CO2 Bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes\nCoenzyme A [35] Pantothenic acid (B5) ADP Acetyl group and other acyl groups Bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes\nTetrahydrofolic acid [36] Folic acid (B9) Glutamate residues Methyl, formyl, methylene and formimino groups Bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes\nMenaquinone [37] Vitamin K None Carbonyl group and electrons Bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes\nAscorbic acid [38] Vitamin C None Electrons Bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes\nFlavin mononucleotide [39] Riboflavin (B2) None Electrons Bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes\nFlavin adenine dinucleotide [39] Riboflavin (B2) ADP Electrons Bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes\nCoenzyme F420 [40] Riboflavin (B2) Amino acids Electrons Methanogens and some bacteria\nNon-vitaminsEdit\nCofactor Chemical group(s) transferred Distribution\nAdenosine triphosphate [41] Phosphate group Bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes\nS-Adenosyl methionine [42] Methyl group Bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes\nCoenzyme M [44][45] Methyl group Methanogens\nCoenzyme Q [46] Electrons Bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes\nCytidine triphosphate [47] Diacylglycerols and lipid head groups Bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes\nGlutathione [48][49] Electrons Some bacteria and most eukaryotes\nHeme [50] Electrons Bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes\nLipoamide [5] Electrons, acyl groups Bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes\nMolybdopterin [52][53] Oxygen atoms Bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes\nNucleotide sugars [54] Monosaccharides Bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes\n3'-Phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphosulfate [55] Sulfate group Bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes\nPyrroloquinoline quinone [56] Electrons Bacteria\nTetrahydrobiopterin [57] Oxygen atom and electrons Bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes\nCofactors as metabolic intermediatesEdit\nMetabolism involves a vast array of chemical reactions, but most fall under a few basic types of reactions that involve the transfer of functional groups.[59] This common chemistry allows cells to use a small set of metabolic intermediates to carry chemical groups between different reactions.[60] These group-transfer intermediates are the loosely bound organic cofactors, often called coenzymes.\nEach class of group-transfer reaction is carried out by a particular cofactor, which is the substrate for a set of enzymes that produce it, and a set of enzymes that consume it. An example of this are the dehydrogenases that use nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) as a cofactor. Here, hundreds of separate types of enzymes remove electrons from their substrates and reduce NAD+ to NADH. This reduced cofactor is then a substrate for any of the reductases in the cell that require electrons to reduce their substrates.[31]\nTherefore, these cofactors are continuously recycled as part of metabolism. As an example, the total quantity of ATP in the human body is about 0.1 mole. This ATP is constantly being broken down into ADP, and then converted back into ATP. Thus, at any given time, the total amount of ATP + ADP remains fairly constant. The energy used by human cells requires the hydrolysis of 100 to 150 moles of ATP daily, which is around 50 to 75 kg. In typical situations, humans use up their body weight of ATP over the course of the day.[61] This means that each ATP molecule is recycled 1000 to 1500 times daily.\nFurther information: Abiogenesis\nOrganic cofactors, such as ATP and NADH, are present in all known forms of life and form a core part of metabolism. Such universal conservation indicates that these molecules evolved very early in the development of living things.[62] At least some of the current set of cofactors may, therefore, have been present in the last universal ancestor, which lived about 4 billion years ago.[63][64]\nOrganic cofactors may have been present even earlier in the history of life on Earth.[65] The nucleotide adenosine is present in cofactors that catalyse many basic metabolic reactions such as methyl, acyl, and phosphoryl group transfer, as well as redox reactions. This ubiquitous chemical scaffold has, therefore, been proposed to be a remnant of the RNA world, with early ribozymes evolving to bind a restricted set of nucleotides and related compounds.[66][67] Adenosine-based cofactors are thought to have acted as interchangeable adaptors that allowed enzymes and ribozymes to bind new cofactors through small modifications in existing adenosine-binding domains, which had originally evolved to bind a different cofactor.[8] This process of adapting a pre-evolved structure for a novel use is known as exaptation.\nA computational method, IPRO, recently predicted mutations that experimentally switched the cofactor specificity of Candida boidinii xylose reductase from NADPH to NADH.[68]\nFurther information: History of biochemistry\nThe first organic cofactor to be discovered was NAD+, which was identified by Arthur Harden and William Youndin 1906.[69] They noticed that adding boiled and filtered yeast extract greatly accelerated alcoholic fermentation in unboiled yeast extracts. They called the unidentified factor responsible for this effect a coferment. Through a long and difficult purification from yeast extracts, this heat-stable factor was identified as a nucleotide sugar phosphate by Hans von Euler-Chelpin.[70] Other cofactors were identified throughout the early 20th century, with ATP being isolated in 1929 by Karl Lohmann,[71] and coenzyme A being discovered in 1945 by Fritz Albert Lipmann.[72]\nThe functions of these molecules were at first mysterious, but, in 1936, Otto Heinrich Warburg identified the function of NAD+ in hydride transfer.[73] This discovery was followed in the early 1940s by the work of Herman Kalckar, who established the link between the oxidation of sugars and the generation of ATP.[74] This confirmed the central role of ATP in energy transfer that had been proposed by Fritz Albert Lipmann in 1941.[75] Later, in 1949, Morris Friedkin and Albert L. Lehninger proved that NAD+ linked metabolic pathways such as the citric acid cycle and the synthesis of ATP.[76]\nProtein-derived cofactorsEdit\nIn a number of enzymes, the moiety that acts as a cofactor is formed by post-translational modification of a part of the protein sequence. This often replaces the need for an external binding factor, such as a metal ion, for protein function. Potential modifications could be oxidation of aromatic residues, binding between residues, cleavage or ring-forming.[77] These alterations are distinct from other post-translation protein modifications, such as phosphorylation, methylation, or glycosylation in that the amino acids typically acquire new functions. This increases the functionality of the protein; unmodified amino acids are typically limited to acid-base reactions, and the alteration of resides can give the protein electrophilic sites or the ability to stabilize free radicals.[77] Examples of cofactor production include tryptophan tryptophylquinone (TTQ), derived from two tryptophan side chains,[78] and 4-methylidene-imidazole-5-one (MIO), derived from an Ala-Ser-Gly motif.[79] Characterization of protein-derived cofactors is conducted using X-ray crystallography and mass spectroscopy; structural data is necessary because sequencing does not readily identify the altered sites.\nNon-enzymatic cofactorsEdit\nThe term is used in other areas of biology to refer more broadly to non-protein (or even protein) molecules that either activate, inhibit, or are required for the protein to function. For example, ligands such as hormones that bind to and activate receptor proteins are termed cofactors or coactivators, whereas molecules that inhibit receptor proteins are termed corepressors. One such example is the G protein-coupled receptor family of receptors, which are frequently found in sensory neurons. Ligand binding to the receptors activates the G protein, which then activates an enzyme to activate the effector.[80] In order to avoid confusion, it has been suggested that such proteins that have ligand-binding mediated activation or repression be referred to as coregulators.[81]\n^ Hasim, Onn (2010).

        "raw_content": "39th District corruption scandal\nThe 39th District Corruption Scandal refers to a persistent pattern of brutality and corruption among a cadre of Philadelphia Police Department officers, primarily from the Department's 39th District. The scandal emerged in late 1995 and received nationwide attention by 1997, eventually resulting in an investigation by Human Rights Watch. Hundreds of people were involved in the incidents that occurred in North Philadelphia in the early 1990's. Some individuals are notable due to their direct participation, and others for their participation in related events, particularly the legal proceedings of the conviction of Mumia Abu-Jamal for the murder of Officer Daniel Faulkner.\n1 Police misconduct and civil rights violations\n1.1 Convicted PPD officers\n1.2 Other key figures\n2.1 Raymond Carter trial\nPolice misconduct and civil rights violations[edit]\nThe core of the scandal involved actions by a group of Philadelphia police officers, some of whom were known to North Philadelphia as the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. These officers were charged with investigating suspected crack houses and drug distribution hubs. The officers conducted \"raids\" which were often unreported. In some of these locations the officers were also known for stealing from suspects and were described by one of the prosecuting judges as \"squash[ing] the Bill of Rights into the mud.\".[1]\nThree of the involved officers were dismissed from the department in 1991 for searching a known drug dealer's suburban apartment without a warrant. This dismissal was based on information provided by Pamela Jenkins, a prostitute and drug user who was the longtime girlfriend and informant of Officer Thomas Ryan. One of the dismissed officers, Sergeant Thomas Degovanni, was reinstated a year later, while another officer, John Baird, was in arbitration for reinstatement. The third dismissed officer, Thomas Ryan, was awarded a full disability pension by the city board of pensions.\nThe investigation into the illegal search was ultimately turned over to the FBI by the Philadelphia Police Department Internal Affairs Bureau at the direction of Police Commissioner Willie Williams, in the wake of the beating of Rodney King by the Los Angeles Police Department. Many high-ranking command officers saw this as a political move on the part of Commissioner Williams, who then actively campaigned for the position of Chief of the Los Angeles Police Department.[citation needed]\nThe FBI carried the investigation as a low priority, assigning it to a rookie agent, James Williamson, as the first criminal investigation he headed. Williamson's investigation was stalled with no reliable witnesses or evidence to indict the 39th District, 5 Squad officers until Philadelphia Police Detective, James Dambach, was detailed to the FBI to assist Agent Williamson. By the summer of 1994 they had acquired enough circumstantial evidence of civil rights violations to approach former officer Thomas Ryan.\nRyan agreed to cooperate and turned over his informant and lover Pamela Jenkins to Detective Dambach and Agent Williamson. Ryan and Jenkins both agreed to wear body wires and to record their conversations with former officer Baird. In December 1994, Detective Dambach and Agent Williamson confronted Baird with the recordings made by Ryan and Jenkins. Baird, facing a long prison sentence if convicted, agreed to cooperate but was eventually charged and pled guilty to obstruction of justice for lying to a federal agent in a failed attempt to steer the investigation away from specific police officers who the Feds had targeted for indictment.\nThe federal investigation of the Philadelphia Police eventually expanded into the elite Highway Patrol Unit when Officer James Ryan (unrelated to Thomas Ryan) agreed to cooperate against the officers in that unit who engaged in the same activities as the officers in the 39th District.\nIn the wake of the scandal, nearly 1,400 cases were put under review; by 1997, between 160 and 300 had been overturned, leading to the release of more than 100 persons. Beyond the convictions obtained by federal prosecutors, no one in the Philadelphia Police Detective was explicitly punished, other than being transferred to other units within the department, with the exception of Philadelphia Police Detective James Dambach, who upon returning to regular police duties found himself to be a pariah within the ranks. Labelled a \"Gink\" (Philadelphia police term for rat), Dambach endured the label and eventually attained the rank of lieutenant.\nConvicted PPD officers[edit]\nThe following members of the Philadelphia Police Detective's Special Narcotics Unit, also known as The Five Squad, were convicted:\nOfficer John Baird\nLt. Frank Dubundo\nSergeant Thomas DeGovanni\nOfficer Steven Brown\nOfficer James Ryan\nOfficer Thomas Ryan (police officer) (on leave from the PPD at the time of conviction).\nOfficer Louis J. Maier, convicted on separate charges of robbery and battery.\nOther key figures[edit]\nLynne Abraham, District Attorney.\nPamela Jenkins (informant), paid PPD informant and key government witness.\nJames Dambach, Philadelphia Police detective credited with breaking loose the stalled federal investigation.\nJames Williamson, FBI agent who headed the investigation of the 39th District 5 Squad.\nRaymond Carter trial[edit]\nRaymond Carter achieved notoriety for being the subject of a murder case that arose in the aftermath of the corruption scandal, resulting in his release from prison on December 30, 1996.[2] Key figures in his conviction (and release) were PPD officer Thomas Ryan and Pamela Jenkins, who also played roles in the more famous trial of Mumia Abu-Jamal.\nCarter, a former heroin dealer, was sentenced in 1988 to life imprisonment for the slaying of Robert \"Puppet\" Harris, of North Gratz Street, at the Pike Bar in North Philadelphia on September 18, 1986. His conviction was secured largely on the testimony of Pamela Jenkins, who testified that she saw Carter pick up a gun and fire at Harris from a distance of about three feet.\nTen years later, as Ryan's reputation began to unravel after his conviction on a federal corruption charge related to the 39th district scandal, Jenkins came forward and asserted that she had been paid $500 by a group of PPD officers, including Ryan, to testify against Carter. This resulted in Common Pleas Court Judge Joseph I. Papalini throwing out Carter's first-degree murder conviction in late 1996, stating that it was simply impossible to determine whether Carter had killed Harris, and ordering a new trial.\nThe fact of Jenkins's reversal of testimony in the Raymond Carter case coming to light during the PCRA appellate hearings in the Mumia Abu-Jamal case led to her 1982 testimony being re-evaluated as well. In particular, in 1997, lawyers for Abu-Jamal produced an affidavit by Jenkins stating that Ryan had repeatedly pressured her to provide false testimony against Abu-Jamal, and corroborating the testimony of Cynthia White that she had also been coerced into providing false testimony.\n^ \"Intrigue in Philadelphia involves mayor, FBI, listening device and scandal\". old.post-gazette.com.

        "raw_content": "Place in City\nPrairie du Chien Post Office\nLocation of Prairie du Chien in Crawford County, Wisconsin.\nUTC\u22126 (Central)\nwww.prairieduchien.info\nPrairie du Chien (/\u02ccpr\u025bri du \u02c8\u0283i\u02d0n/) is a city in and the county seat of Crawford County, Wisconsin, United States. The population was 5,911 at the 2010 census. Its Zip Code is 53821.[4]\nOften referred to as Wisconsin's second oldest city,[5] Prairie du Chien was established as a European settlement by French voyageurs in the late seventeenth century. The city is located near the confluence of the Wisconsin and Mississippi rivers, a strategic point along the Fox-Wisconsin Waterway that connects the Great Lakes with the Mississippi.\nEarly French visitors to the site found it occupied by a group of Fox Indians led by a chief whose name Alim meant chien in French (dog in English).[6][7] The French explorers named the location Prairie du Chien, French for \"Dog's Prairie\". Originally this name applied only to the plain upon which the settlement is located, but it was later applied to the city as well. The city of Prairie du Chien is located between the Town of Prairie du Chien and the Town of Bridgeport.\n1.1 History of municipal government\nPlaque for Marquette\nThe first known Europeans to reach Prairie du Chien were French explorers Jacques Marquette and Louis Joliet, who arrived by canoe on June 17, 1673, discovering a route to the Mississippi River. Later travel between French Canada and the Mississippi River continued to pass through Prairie du Chien, although routes via the Illinois River were also used. In 1685, the French explorer Nicolas Perrot established a trading post in the area as part of the large and lucrative French fur trade industry. After Americans entered the trade in the nineteenth century, John Jacob Astor built the Astor Fur Warehouse, an important building in the regional fur trade, which was centered in Prairie du Chien. The significance of Prairie du Chien as a center of the fur trade did not diminish until the mid-nineteenth century, when European demand declined, as did game stock.\nIn 1763, after Great Britain defeated France in the French and Indian War (part of the Seven Years' War), it took possession of the French territory in North America east of the Mississippi River, including Prairie du Chien. During the American Revolutionary War, the city was used as a meeting point for British troops and their Native American allies. After the American victory, the Treaty of Paris (1783) granted the area to the new United States of America, but the British and their Loyalists were slow to withdraw. Only after the War of 1812 did the city become fully American.\nThe US was slow to present any authority over Prairie du Chien, but late in the War of 1812 when the government realized the importance of holding the site to prevent British attacks from Canada, it began construction of Fort Shelby in 1814. In July, British soldiers captured the fort during the Siege of Prairie du Chien. The British maintained control over the city until the war's end in 1815. Not wanting another invasion through Prairie du Chien, the Americans constructed Fort Crawford in 1816.\nThe fort was the site of the negotiations and signing of the Treaties of Prairie du Chien (1825 and 1830), by which the Fox and Sauk ceded much of their land to the US. Representing them and the United Nations of the Chippewa, Ottawa and Pottawatomie in the 1829 negotiations was Billy Caldwell, of Scots-Irish and Mohawk descent. He became involved with the Pottawatomie after moving to the US as a young man from Canada.\nIn 1829, the army doctor William Beaumont carried out many of his famous experiments on digestion in the hospital of Fort Crawford. Beaumont's discoveries are still the basis of current knowledge on the human digestive process.\nCol. Zachary Taylor, who later became the 12th U.S. President, was the commanding officer at Fort Crawford during the Black Hawk War of 1832. Taylor oversaw the surrender of Black Hawk in Prairie du Chien. Lt. Jefferson Davis, who later became president of the Confederate States of America, was stationed at Fort Crawford at the same time. Here Jefferson Davis met Zachary Taylor's daughter, Sarah \"Knoxie\" Taylor, whom he married in 1835.[8]\nIllustration of Prairie du Chien in 1870\nOutside the walls of the fort, early nineteenth century life in Prairie du Chien was still dominated by the fur trade. Prairie du Chien's most well-known traders during this time were Michel Brisbois, Joseph Rolette, Nathan Myrick, and Hercules L. Dousman. Dousman built a fortune in the fur trade, which, combined with income from investments in land, steamboats, and railroads, propelled him to become the first millionaire in Wisconsin. Dousman died in 1868, and his son, H. Louis Dousman, inherited much of his fortune. In 1870 Louis Dousman used his inheritance to construct a luxurious Victorian mansion over the site of the former Fort Shelby. When Louis died unexpectedly in 1886, his family renamed the home \"Villa Louis\" in his memory. The Dousman family continued to occupy the home until 1913. Nearly 40 years later, in 1952, the mansion became Wisconsin's first state-operated historic site.\nAfter the fur trade declined in the mid-nineteenth century, Prairie du Chien's attention shifted to agriculture and the railroad. Although the city was first connected to the Milwaukee & Mississippi Railroad in 1857, the width of the Mississippi River posed a challenge for further expansion of the railroad into Iowa. This problem was temporarily solved by disassembling the trains at Prairie du Chien and ferrying them across the river to be put back on the tracks on the other side. A better solution was found by Michael Spettel and John Lawler, who designed the permanent Pile-Pontoon Railroad Bridge to span the river in 1874. Lawler took most of the credit for this invention, and made a small fortune through its operation. The bridge remained in use until its removal in 1961.\nWyalusing Academy, the former St Mary\u2019s College and Saint Mary\u2019s School\nLawler later donated property to establish two Catholic boarding schools in Prairie du Chien, St. Mary's Institute (now Mount Mary College of Milwaukee), and Campion High School in the later part of the century. St. Mary's College remained in Prairie du Chien until 1928.[9] Campion High School produced several notable alumni, including Vicente Fox, Congressman Leo Ryan, Governor Patrick Lucey, actors David Doyle, George Wendt, and Kevin McCarthy, and writer Garry Wills. Campion was closed in 1975.\nHistory of municipal government[edit]\nPrairie du Chien was incorporated as the Borough of Prairie des Chiens on September 17, 1821 by the secretary of the Michigan Territory.[10] It is the only municipality in Wisconsin other than Green Bay to have been known as a borough, rather than a city, town, or village.[11] The borough existed for a few years before the government stopped operating in 1825[12]\nIn 1828, the Prairie du Chien area became a part of the Town of St. Anthony, a town which included all of immense Crawford County. (Crawford County itself included all of the western part of Michigan Territory.) In 1849, the Town of Prairie du Chien was created, consisting of most of present-day Crawford County. The city of Prairie du Chien was then incorporated in 1872.[13]\nThe Mississippi River, viewed from St. Feriole Island.\nPrairie du Chien is located within the Mississippi River Valley, upon a long triangular plain that is bounded on the west by the Mississippi River, on the south by the Wisconsin River, and on the east-northeast by a series of tall bluffs. According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 6.36 square miles (16.47 km2), of which, 5.63 square miles (14.58 km2) of it is land and 0.73 square miles (1.89 km2) is water.[1] While the city's area encompasses most of the plain upon which it sits, portions of the plain extend outside city limits. Just north of the city limits, where the plain forms part of the Town of Prairie du Chien, there is a small unincorporated settlement known locally as \"Frenchtown\". The plain also extends outside the city southward into the Town of Bridgeport. Here the plain ends, becoming the wetlands of the Wisconsin River Delta.\nBoth inside and outside the city limits, backwaters of the Mississippi River occasionally break across the far west side of the plain to form small islands. While most of these islands are too small and flood prone to have ever been inhabited, one larger island just west of downtown Prairie du Chien formed the city's fourth ward until a 1965 flood prompted a mandatory relocation of the island's residents to higher ground. During the relocation project, most buildings with no special historical significance were removed. Now called \"St. Feriole Island\", the island serves as a 240-acre (1.0 km2) city park.[14]\nWelcome sign on WIS 35 / US 18.\nThe city gives its name to the Prairie du Chien Dolomite, a layer of dolomite widely found in western Wisconsin.\nWelcome sign on entering from Iowa\nAs of the census[16] of 2000, there were 6,018 people, 2,376 households, and 1,473 families residing in the city. The population density was 1,075.9 people per square mile (415.7/km\u00b2). There were 2,564 housing units at an average density of 458.4 per square mile (177.1/km\u00b2). The racial makeup of the city was 95.06% White, 3.61% Black or African American, 0.28% Native American, 0.17% Asian, 0.02% Pacific Islander, 0.08% from other races, and 0.78% from two or more races. 0.88% of the population were Hispanic or Latino of any race.\nA monument to Fr. Marquette, located in Prairie du Chien.\nPrairie du Chien has five National Historic Landmarks and nine sites on the National Register of Historic Places representing its significant history.

There is no comprehensive data on Javanese trade during the period in question, with information on local and regional trade being particularly scarce. To fill in the missing pieces and identify a broad trend, this paper attempts to examine data on both the late eighteenth century and the second quarter of the nineteenth century and put them together with the scattered data available on the first half of the nineteenth century.\nThis paper suggests, first, that while it is known that Java\u2019s economic relations with the outside world were heavily oriented toward trade with the Netherlands, this trend began in the late eighteenth century rather than with the introduction of the Cultivation System in 1830. Second, Java\u2019s coastal trade also began to develop in the late eighteenth century. This trade was conducted by European traders and Asian indigenous traders, including overseas Chinese traders settled in Java.\nThird, trade with the Outer Islands declined in the late eighteenth century but resumed its expansion in the second quarter of the nineteenth century. Fourth, intra-Asian trade with the region outside insular Southeast Asia declined in the long run, along with the decline and bankruptcy of the VOC, which had successfully engaged in this branch of intra-Asian trade since the seventeenth century.\nKeywords:\tJava, Batavia, Dutch East India Company, VOC, Euro-Asian trade, intra-Asian trade\nEchoing the treatment of the modern period in Nicholas Tarling\u2019s Cambridge History of Southeast Asia (1992), which begins around 1800, traditional historiography of the maritime trade of Java has also regarded the beginning of the nineteenth century as a genuine watershed. Indeed, the Dutch East India Company (Vereinigde Oost-indische Com\u00adpagnie, hereafter VOC) was put to an end in 1799. On the other hand, we cannot disregard the fact that the rise of British powers in Asian waters, expressed in the activities of the English East India Company and British country traders, had already begun in the second half of the eighteenth century (Furber 1976; Webster 1998), together with equally vigorous activities of Asian indigenous traders such as the Bugis in Southeast Asia (Andaya 1995; Knaap and Sutherland 2004). Moreover, looking at the domestic inland economy of Java, the Dutch had begun to strengthen their political and commercial powers since the eighteenth century. For example, they began supervision of coffee cultivation in the Preangan highlands, which was to become a prototype of the so-called Cultivation System after 1830 (Breman 2010; Ohashi 2010). Meanwhile, Semarang and Surabaya, which had conducted maritime trade under the control of the Dutch since the late seventeenth century,1) became the most important ports for the Dutch colonial authorities for the development of colonial trade in the nineteenth century. Taking into consideration these background changes within and outside Java, and in accordance with Tarling\u2019s suggestion in Cambridge History of Southeast Asia that the modern political framework had historical roots in the late eighteenth century (Tarling 1992), we can hypothesize that changes in maritime trade patterns began in the late eighteenth century rather than after the turn of the century. And it makes sense to take Java as a case study to test this hypothesis, since comparatively ample quantitative data are available there.2)\nYet there is almost no previous research that has addressed this issue from a general or broad perspective, except for two seminal works by Anthony Reid and Radin Fernando on the Melaka trade (Reid and Fernando 1996) as well as by Kaoru Sugihara in terms of general survey (Sugihara 2009). This is chiefly because of the lack of proper records for maritime trade in Java, or even in Batavia, around the first quarter of the nineteenth century. Of course, even if we lack a comprehensive set of data for this period, it is possible to compare the maritime trade of Java in the late eighteenth century with that in the second quarter of the nineteenth century, in order to delineate the longer-term trend. However, it is technically challenging to handle records for both periods for the purpose of comparison. In the eighteenth century, maritime trade in major ports of Java was recorded by the VOC. The company had several purposes for keeping records: the first was to record its own business, the second was to report on the maritime trade conducted by rival traders, and the third was to collect customs duty. On the other hand, records after 1825 were written by the Dutch colonial authorities simply in order to collect customs duty. In short, the purpose and style of records of maritime trade were quite different, so historians have hesitated to conduct an explicit comparative investigation.\nThe main purpose of this article is to meet this challenge by attempting a survey of Java\u2019s maritime trade from the late eighteenth century to the mid-nineteenth century, with the aim of establishing long-term trends. The methodological emphasis is on the comparative analysis between the beginning and ending decades of the period. It will be suggested that despite the stagnation during the early years of the nineteenth century, some persistent, long-term tendencies can be delineated, and that they must have been present during the crucial period of structural changes in international trade in Asia and the world as a whole.\nThe next two sections attempt a survey of maritime trade in the late eighteenth century. Trade by the VOC as well as non-Dutch merchants will be investigated, and some changing trends toward the nineteenth century will be identified. Then, a general observation of Java\u2019s international trade in the second quarter of the nineteenth century will be made, with special reference to coverage of customs records. On the basis of this observation, a detailed examination of the trend shifts will be conducted by analyzing the data of three selected years: 1826, 1836, and 1846. Finally, this article will focus on the 1836 shipping record of the port of Batavia, where the patterns in Java\u2019s coastal trade will be presented. Throughout the article, patterns of maritime trade in Java will be analyzed by distinguishing the nature of trade into several types: trade with the Netherlands, with other European countries, with insular Southeast Asia, and with other parts of Asia, as well as coastal trade.\nThe quantitative data shown in this article are collected from unpublished Dutch records preserved in the National Archives of Republic of Indonesia in Jakarta (Arsip Nasional Republik Indonesia, ANRI), as well as from published customs records by the Dutch colonial authorities and some secondary works.\nThe VOC Trading Network of Batavia in the Late Eighteenth Century\nBatavia was a key transit port for the trading activities of the VOC. By 1619 this port had been established as the Asian headquarters of the Dutch company, and over time the trading business in Batavia developed for the VOC as well as Asian indigenous traders.\nThe VOC was engaged in two types of trading business, and Batavia played a significant role in both. The first task was to conduct Euro-Asian trade. Getting a supply of precious metals from the Netherlands, the VOC purchased Asian commodities such as pepper and spices and sent them to Europe. Although major commodities for the European market changed from time to time, Batavia remained the key transit port in this trade throughout the two centuries in which the VOC operated. Ships coming from the Netherlands first arrived at Batavia, and then precious metals were reshipped to Dutch trading posts scattered around maritime Asia, while products from Asian trading posts were collected at Batavia for dispatch to the Dutch Republic (Shimada 2006, 131\u2013135). Sometimes direct trade was conducted\u2014for example, Chinese tea was exported from Guangzhou directly to the Dutch Republic without passing through Batavia in 1729\u201334 and 1757\u201394 (Liu 2007, 3\u20135)\u2014but this was an exception rather than the rule.3)\nLocated at the crossroads of multi-shipping lines of the VOC in Asia, Batavia was also a transit port in the intra-Asian trade. First of all, it was the collection point for products from the Indonesian Archipelago such as pepper, cloves, nutmeg, sugar, and tin. Second, Batavia was the transit port for intra-Asian maritime trade on a much larger scale, such as that between Japan and South Asia. In regard to this latter kind of intra-Asian trade, Batavia had become more important than Melaka by 1715. That year, the Japanese central government issued a new act to restrict Dutch trade and permitted only two Dutch trading vessels per year. Before then, the VOC sent four or five vessels a year to Japan, and these vessels went from Japan to South Asian ports via Melaka, not via Batavia, since the major market for Japanese copper was in South Asia. However, due to this new Japanese act, the Dutch had to use larger vessels for the Japan trade, and when they departed from Nagasaki they had to go to Batavia, where Japanese products such as copper were reshipped to South Asia (Shimada 2006, 17\u201321). At this time Batavia became literally the pivot for the larger-scale intra-Asian trade, conducting direct shipping with Dutch trading posts in almost all of maritime Asia from Japan to Arabia.\nNevertheless, in the late eighteenth century the nature of the VOC trade changed. Table 1 indicates annual average values of the import and export trade in each trading area of the VOC in Java. The Dutch company had four trading areas in Java: Batavia, Banten, Cirebon, and Semarang. Each area sometimes managed several sub-ports. The Semarang area, for example, had Surabaya as a sub-port; and the trading data of Semarang in the table include the trade of Surabaya as well. Among the four trading areas, Batavia had a different role from the other three. The other areas were engaged only in coastal trade with Batavia, while Batavia conducted intra-Asian trade as well as Euro-Asian trade. Therefore, the export and import values in Banten, Cirebon, and Semarang are included in the data of export and import values of Batavia. This is why we need to examine only the data of Batavia if we want to get the shares of Java\u2019s intra-Asian trade (including coastal trade) and Java\u2019s Euro-Asian trade by the VOC.\nTable 1\u2002Imports and Exports of Java by the VOC, 1771\u201390 (Fl.)\nGiven the above context, the reading of this table makes it clear that for the VOC in Java, intra-Asian trade, including coastal trade, was more important than Euro-Asian trade, since the total value of the former amounted to 9,801,600 guilders in the 1770s and 8,443,300 guilders around 1790, although the absolute total value of the latter trade rose from 6,871,900 guilders in the 1770s to 7,135,300 guilders around 1790. In addition, the value of the Dutch coastal trade in Java can be easily calculated, because they were simply the sum of the trade values of the three areas other than Batavia. Hence, we can estimate that the Dutch coastal trade values in Java were 1,396,000 guilders in the 1770s and 2,699,400 guilders around 1790. This means that the Dutch trade with the outside of Java was more important than the Dutch coastal trade in Java. However, coastal trade became more important around 1790, as a result of the decline in VOC trade with the outside of Java due to the Dutch defeat in the Fourth Anglo-Dutch War between 1780 and 1784.\nNon-Dutch Trading Network in Batavia in the Late Eighteenth Century\nBeyond the scope of the VOC, Batavia was also a significant place for European and indigenous Asian maritime traders. European traders and expeditions called at Batavia not only for trade but also to repair their vessels. For instance, Captain James Cook\u2019s expedition arrived at Batavia in 1770 for ship repair. Batavia had a shipyard, especially designed for repairs, on the island of Onrust in the Bay of Batavia. In fact, the vessels commanded by Captain Cook were repaired on Onrust Island. Captain Cook\u2019s words about this shipyard were as follows:\nI must say that I do not believe that there is a marine yard in the world where work is done with more alertness than here, or where there are better conveniences for heaving ships down both in point of safety and despatch. Here they heave down by two masts, which is not now practised by the English; but I hold it to be much safer and more expeditious than by heaving down by one mast. (Beaglehole 1955, 438)\nAlthough British country traders used this port for the purpose of trading, the most important non-Dutch Europeans there were Portuguese traders. Portuguese merchants based in Asian port cities such as Macau and Ayutthaya visited Batavia for trade: Portuguese ships from Macau, for example, brought Chinese tea to Batavia for reexport by the Dutch to the Netherlands (Souza 1986, 134\u2013151).\nMuch more important non-Dutch traders for the Batavian trade were Asian traders, such as Chinese and Indonesians. According to Leonard Bluss\u00e9, Chinese junks called at Batavia from Xiamen (Amoy) and other ports on the southern Chinese coast. Chinese junks numbered around 5 to 18 per year between 1681 and 1793 (Bluss\u00e9 1986, 123), and they carried products such as tea and porcelain to Batavia. Indeed, before the VOC succeeded in obtaining permission to trade regularly in Guangzhou and the VOC established a direct link with China for the tea trade in 1729 (Liu 2007, 3), the Chinese junk trade in Batavia, together with the Portuguese trade between Macau and Batavia, was a highly important means for the Dutch to procure Chinese products. In addition to Chinese products, these junks transported Chinese immigrants who worked as manual laborers in the city as well as on the plantations and sugar mills in the suburban areas of Batavia.\nIndonesian traders were also engaged in the trade in Batavia. Gerrit J. Knaap investigated coastal trade on the Javanese coast around 1775. Based on Dutch shipping records in the 15 ports on the northwestern coast of Java, he demonstrated the significance of the coastal trade by indigenous traders such as those from China, Java, Malaya, and Sulawesi, as well as Europe (Knaap 1996, 66). A key merchandise for them was Javanese rice, and several other items such as oil, gambier, fish, and textiles were also traded within the framework of this coastal trade. Batavia, for instance, imported rice and palm sugar. While Batavia\u2019s suburban areas were busily engaged in producing sugar for export to Europe, Batavia had to import Javanese coconut sugar and rice for urban and suburban consumption by indigenous people. Indeed, Batavia imported no less than 102,170 pikuls of rice through non-Dutch traders and at least 105,250 pikuls of rice through the VOC on an annual average (1 pikul=approximately 60 kg) (ibid., 214\u2013217).\nTable 2 demonstrates the shipping network of Batavia, which was realized by non-Dutch traders in the years 1770 and 1790. In this table, \u201cJava and Madura\u201d indicates the annual number of arrivals of non-Dutch vessels from the ports in Java and Madura. \u201cOther Eastern Archipelago\u201d shows the number of vessels from ports outside of Java and Madura in insular Southeast Asia such as Ambon and Melaka, while \u201cOther Southeast Asia\u201d gives the number of ships from Siam and Cambodia. \u201cOther Asia\u201d shows ships from places in Asia but outside Southeast Asia, such as Japan, China, and Coromandel. It should be noted that unlike in Table 1, we do not have any information on the volumes and values of trade, just the number of vessels.\nTable 2\u2002Non-Dutch Vessels Arriving at Batavia in 1770 and 1790\nIn regard to Table 2 and its original sources, we can observe the following points. First, in terms of the number of vessels, it is obvious that the coastal trade in Java by non-Dutch traders was an important trade for the port of Batavia, as annually more than 200 vessels arrived at Batavia from Java and Madura. Among the ports in Java and Madura, important ports for trade with Batavia were Rembang (71 vessels in 1770 and 37 in 1790) and Pekalongang (33 in 1770 and 52 in 1790). These ports are relatively close to Batavia in terms of geography. Second, the share of trade with insular Southeast Asia (\u201cOther Eastern Archipelago\u201d in the table) was also high, and in insular Southeast Asia, Makassar, which was a base port for Bugis traders, was the most important (31 in 1770 and 20 in 1790). Third, compared to trade within insular Southeast Asia, non-Dutch trade with ports in mainland Southeast Asia was small and even showed a decline: from 19 vessels in 1770 (13 from Siam and 6 from Cambodia) to 4 vessels in 1790 (all from Siam). Fourth, the non-Dutch trade with regions outside of Southeast Asia was also small. In the year 1770, two vessels from Macau came to Batavia, two from Xiamen, two from Guangzhou, one from Bengal, and one from Coromandel. In 1790 there were two vessels from Macau, two from Guangzhou, and three from Coromandel.4)\nIn this sense, Batavia was clearly a key hub-port in Asian waters not only for the VOC but also for non-Dutch traders. However, the character of this port changed during the late eighteenth century. Prior to then, the VOC had been the sole player in Euro-Asian trade. It had also been a key trader with the outside of Java, particularly with areas outside of insular Southeast Asia. Yet it became much more heavily involved in Javanese coastal trade in the late eighteenth century, while it lost its comparative advantage in the Asian trade with the outside of Java among the total trading business of the VOC. With the VOC\u2019s development in Javanese coastal trade, non-Dutch merchants\u2019 shipping also developed in the coastal trade in Java and in the trade with insular Southeast Asia.\nOverview of the International Trade of Java and Madura from 1825 to 1850\nJava\u2019s maritime trade during the first quarter of the nineteenth century is not well understood, due to the lack of availability of proper quantitative data. Nevertheless, it is generally assumed that Java\u2019s maritime trade stagnated during the time of Governor-General Herman Willem Daendels in 1808\u201311 and his successor Jan Willem Janssens in 1811, as well as the years of British occupation between 1811 and 1816. During the time of \u00adDaendels and Janssens, the Dutch in Batavia were busy preparing for possible war against the British. During the years of British occupation, the British colonial government was engaged in domestic work rather than international trade (De Klerck 1975, Vol. 2, 13\u201327; Elson 1984, 6\u20137). On the other hand, it is possible that non-Dutch merchants were heavily engaged in maritime trade, particularly in coastal trade, during the period from 1808 to 1816. US vessels were also heavily engaged in intra-Asian trade, replacing Dutch vessels, and the Java trade was no exception. American traders participated in maritime activities in Asian waters after the American Revolution (Bluss\u00e9 2008, 60\u201366). By contrast, the VOC in Batavia faced several problems conducting long-distance trade in Asian waters, due to possible attacks by the British\u2014even before the collapse of the VOC in 1799. This situation was created by the invasion of Revolutionary France into the Dutch Republic since 1794 and then the establishment of the Dutch Batavian Republic in 1795 under strong French influence. During this time of war, vessels under the flag of neutral countries such as the United States were lifelines for Batavia. In fact, the VOC in \u00adBatavia hired US vessels to conduct intra-Asian trade. In the case of Dutch trade with Japan, the Dutch High Government of Batavia (Hoge Regering) sent 18 trading vessels to Japan during the 17 years between 1795 and 1811. Among these 18 vessels, only three belonged to the Dutch authorities in Batavia; the others were all chartered private ships\u201410 American, 3 Dutch, 1 Bremer, and 1 Danish (Kanai 1986, 237; Shimada 2011, 37).\nWhile it is difficult to obtain the whole picture of the maritime trade of Batavia and Java during this period, except for the fact that US vessels played an important role, it is certain that international trade recovered after the return of Java to the Dutch in 1816, since the customs duty revenue rose (Korthals Altes 1991, 13). In the light of difficulties with research on the first quarter of the nineteenth century, we propose to look at the data after 1825 and compare the period after 1825 with the late eighteenth century in order to examine the long-term trends in Java\u2019s maritime trade. This is because quantitative trade data can be obtained from the annual aggregated customs records in the ports on the islands of Java and Madura for the period after 1825.5)\nThe number of ports for international trade in Java and Madura amounted to 22 in 1836 (see Table 3) (Directeur van \u2019s Lands Middelen en Domeinen 1837). The Dutch colonial authorities classified them into three divisions according to their geographical location. Ceringin, Banten, Batavia, Indramayu, and Cirebon in West Java belonged to the first division. In 1836 the revenue from customs duty from the import and export trade that the Dutch colonial authorities pocketed in Java and Madura amounted to 4,080,154 guilders. Approximately 66 percent of this revenue was obtained in the ports in this first division, although the revenue obtained in Batavia accounted for 63.1 percent of the total revenue in Java and Madura while Cirebon\u2019s share was 1.8 percent and the other ports\u2019 shares were much smaller.\nTable 3\u2002Customs Revenues in Java and Madura in 1836 (Fl.)\nThe second division consisted of seven ports: Tegal, Pekalongang, Semarang, Japara, Juwana, Rembang, and Tuban on the northeastern coast of Java. Among them Semarang had the largest revenue, accounting for about 17.8 percent of the total revenue in Java and Madura, while Pekalongang\u2019s share amounted to 2.3 percent and each of the other ports accounted for less than 1 percent. On the other hand, the 10 ports in East Java and the islands of Madura and Bawean under the third division collected 12.4 percent of the total customs revenue in Java and Madura. Surabaya was the largest port in this division (6.7 percent of the total), followed by Pasuruan (3.5 percent) and Gresik (1.1 percent). The other ports in the third division were Probolinggo, Besuki, Panarukan, Banyuwangi, Sumanap, Pamekasan, and Bawean, and their shares were very small.\nTo sum up, Batavia was the major port in Java and Madura, and the Dutch authorities obtained more than half their total customs revenues from this port. Semarang, Surabaya, and Pasuruan were next in importance, although the share of these ports was very small compared to Batavia. The other ports in Java and Madura were not so important in terms of \u201cinternational trade,\u201d that is, trade outside the two islands. However, this does not mean that these ports were less important in coastal trade in Java and Madura, as customs records were drawn just for collecting customs duty in the import and export trade and do not contain data on domestic transactions, including coastal trade in Java. We know that these ports were busily engaged in coastal trade in Java in the second quarter of the nineteenth century, and this echoes the state of affairs shown in the survey of coastal trade in the second half of the eighteenth century. Keeping these points in mind, we shall conduct detailed examinations of the international trade of Java and Madura for the first quarter of the nineteenth century.\nFigs. 1, 2, and 3 indicate general trends in the total commodity trade and the commodity trade with the Netherlands in Java and Madura in the second quarter of the nineteenth century. Fig. 1 shows the commodity export trade from Java and Madura. The largest change was the sharp increase in export trade in the 1830s. During the second half of the 1820s, the Dutch colonial government spent huge resources on the Java War, which began with the revolt by Prince Diponegoro. The war was carried out mainly in Central and East Java and ended in 1830 with the Dutch victory, which enabled the Dutch to introduce the Cultivation System from 1830, in order to supply crops, such as sugar, for the market in the Netherlands. As a result of the system\u2019s success, exports to the homeland became very large in scale. For example, Java exported 6,686,746 \u00adguilders\u2019 worth of coffee, 213,689 guilders\u2019 worth of powder sugar, and 33,084 guilders\u2019 worth of indigo in 1825\u201327 on annual average, while it exported 13,692,403 guilders\u2019 worth of coffee, 16,293,259 guilders\u2019 worth of powder sugar, and 3,469,160 guilders\u2019 worth of indigo in 1848\u201350 (Bruijn Kops 1858, Vol. 2, 120, 132, 186). After this sharp rise in the 1830s, however, commodity exports declined slightly in the 1840s, as market conditions in the Netherlands were affected by the oversupply of colonial products.\nFig. 1\u2002Commodity Exports from Java and Madura, 1825\u201350 (Total Trade [bold line] and Trade with the Netherlands [fine line]) (Fl.)\nSource: Bruijn Kops (1858).\nThe commodity import trade is shown in Fig. 2. The most remarkable point in this figure is that the import values were somewhat smaller than figures for the export trade. Exports grew rapidly during the 1830s, while import growth was not so significant. \u00adDuring this period, the major import from the Netherlands was cotton textiles. On annual average, 828,169 guilders\u2019 worth of cotton textiles was imported to Java from the Nether\u00adlands in 1825\u201328 and 5,049,857 guilders\u2019 worth in 1848\u201350 (Bruijn Kops 1858, Vol. 1, 42). Yet, the Dutch industry in this sector was not very well developed. Thus, a huge amount of bullion had to be sent to Java from the Netherlands to pay for colonial crops. Indeed, large amounts of high-quality British cotton textiles were imported into Java, especially from the mid-1820s to the mid-1830s, although Dutch textile imports also grew around 1830 and after the mid-1830s (Kraan 1996, 52\u201356; Houben 2002b, 69\u201370).\nFig. 2\u2002Commodity Imports into Java and Madura, 1825\u201350 (Total Trade [bold line] and Trade with the Nether\u00adlands [fine line]) (Fl.)\nWhen looking at Fig. 3, differences in the characteristics between export and import trade are much clearer. This figure shows the shares of the Netherlands in the total export and import trade. The export trade definitely depended upon exports to the Netherlands. In fact, the shares rose from approximately 50 percent in 1825 to approximately 70 percent in the mid-nineteenth century. On the other hand, in the case of the import trade, the dependence on the Netherlands was not so high. The homeland shares actually fluctuated between 20 percent and 40 percent. This difference was partly because some cotton textiles were imported from Britain into Java and also because the share of the import trade with insular Southeast Asia had been high since the eighteenth century.\nFig. 3\u2002Shares of Commodity Trade with the Netherlands, 1825\u201350 (%)\nComparison of International Trade in 1826, 1836, and 1846\nWhich areas and countries did Java establish strong links with in international trade? This point will be investigated in greater detail. In general, trading links with Europe became stronger. Trade with the Eastern Archipelago went up a bit. On the other hand, trade with other Asian regions declined in relative terms.\nThis trend is demonstrated in Table 4, which shows the geographical composition of commodity exports and imports in Java and Madura. First, without a question, growth of trade with the Netherlands was remarkable. In the export trade, the absolute value increased more than four times between 1826 and 1846, with the share reaching around 70 percent. In addition, Java\u2019s trade with European countries also increased. Non-Dutch European countries\u2019 shares rose from 3.9 percent to 9.2 percent in the export trade and from 13.7 percent to 24.2 percent in the import trade during the two decades. Britain\u2019s share in the import trade in particular grew, from 10.5 percent in 1826 to 20.2 percent in 1846, in spite of the fact that non-Dutch vessels had to pay import duty at higher rates (Knaap 1989, 18).\nTable 4\u2002Commodity Exports and Imports in Java and Madura in 1826, 1836, and 1846\nThe second important point in Table 4 concerns trade with the Eastern Archipelago (insular Southeast Asia except for Manila). Certainly, the shares declined in both export and import trade. However, the absolute values increased greatly, from 3,214,108 guilders in 1826 to 8,679,238 guilders in 1846 in the case of export trade and from 3,083,218 guilders in 1826 to 7,058,373 guilders in 1846 in the import trade. The growth rates in trade with the Eastern Archipelago were much higher than those in trade with other parts of Asia, as analyzed later. Regarding the export trade with the Eastern Archipelago, major export items were cotton textiles (increased from 445,982 guilders\u2019 worth of \u00adJavanese textiles, 309,523 guilders\u2019 worth of European textiles, and 148,308 guilders\u2019 worth of South Asian textiles in 1828\u201330 to 694,827 guilders\u2019 worth of Javanese textiles, 1,652,812 guilders\u2019 worth of European textiles, and 30,796 guilders\u2019 worth of South Asian textiles in 1848\u201350 on annual average), rice (from 832,274 guilders to 1,097,002 guilders) and tobacco (from 361,894 guilders to 466,712 guilders) (Bruijn Kops 1858, Vol. 2, 263, 288, 379, 411, 424). By and large, trade with insular Southeast Asia increased in absolute terms while experiencing a comparative decline.\nThird, a decline can be observed in trade with Southeast Asia outside the Eastern Archipelago (that is, Siam, Cochinchina, and Manila) and with Asia outside Southeast Asia (that is, the Persian Gulf, Bengal, Coromandel, Malabar, Ceylon, China, Macau, and Japan). Between 1826 and 1846, the share of export trade decreased from 17 percent to 3.7 percent and the share of import trade decreased from 13.8 percent to 7 percent. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the VOC in Batavia was very good at handling this type of intra-Asian trade. For example, South Asian cotton textiles were supplied by the VOC to insular Southeast Asia; Javanese sugar was delivered by the Dutch to Iran, South Asia, and Japan; and tin produced in Bangka and pepper from the Eastern Archipelago were reshipped to China from Batavia by the Dutch company.6) Hence, the decline in share of trade with these countries was a serious change, even though the comparative decline had already been observed in the late eighteenth century, as mentioned before. However, it should be not that the absolute value of exports declined only slightly from 2,178,772 guilders in 1826 to 2,099,455 guilders in 1846, and in the case of import trade, the value rose from 1,419,005 guilders to 1,882,784 guilders. The decline was of a comparative nature.\nShipping at Batavia in 1836\nFinally, the coastal trade of Java in the second quarter of the nineteenth century will be examined by consulting a shipping record of the port of Batavia. As mentioned earlier, published customs records refer to the aggregated statistics of total international trade in the ports in Java and Madura; they do not contain any information on coastal trade between the ports in Java and Madura. Moreover, published customs records do not have any trade data for specific ports. Even in the case of the port of Batavia, we do not have any information on total shipping numbers or any data from published sources about maritime trade. On the other hand, the National Archives of the Republic of Indonesia preserves highly valuable manuscript sources, which provide all the arrival and departure shipping data. This source contains each ship\u2019s flag nationality, tonnage, arrival or departure date, the name of the captain, the name of the port from which the vessel departed for Batavia, and the vessel\u2019s destination after Batavia in the years 1834 and 1836. Following is an analysis of the data for the year 1836, mainly using the above-mentioned record.7)\nSince its establishment in the early seventeenth century, Batavia was a multiethnic colonial city. For example, in 1836, Batavia (including the suburban area, or ommelanden) had 264,313 inhabitants. Among them were only 3,339 European citizens, including mestizo (this ethnic category covers Christians and Jews). Indigenous people such as the Javanese, Sundanese, Bugis, and Malays amounted to 223,311, while there were 34,549 Chinese, 448 Arabs and Moren (Muslims of Indian origin), and 2,666 slaves.8) Although Westerners, Chinese, Arabs, and Moren were small in number and were minorities, they had important roles in commercial business and maritime trade in Batavia (Abeyasekere 1987, 60\u201364; Riddell 2001, 116\u2013117).\nTable 5 classifies the vessels that arrived at or departed from Batavia in 1836 according to the nationality of their flag. In terms of number of vessels, the dominant share definitely went to the Dutch. They were followed by the Americans, British, and French. It might seem strange that only one Chinese vessel called at Batavia and that there were no insular Southeast Asian indigenous ships on the list, in spite of the fact that, as already mentioned in this article, there was active coastal trade in Java. Certainly, there was only one junk from mainland China during this year, but Chinese and indigenous vessels that had their bases in Java were classified as Dutch vessels. This is why the average tonnage per Dutch vessel was relatively small compared to American and other European vessels.\nTable 5\u2002Shipping at Batavia According to Flag Nationality in 1836\nIn order to avoid any misunderstanding about the nature of Dutch flag ships in the analysis of Table 5, Table 6 divides Dutch vessels according to the names of their captains (Chinese captains, captains with Islamic names, European captains, and others). The vessels are further classified according to their ports of embarkation. This shows that, first, some Dutch flag vessels were Asian traders\u2019 ships, perhaps based in Java. In terms of the number of vessels, 108 vessels had Chinese captains and 122 had captains with Islamic names\u2014although it is impossible to recognize whether these Muslim traders were Javanese, Bugis, Balinese, Arabs, or something else. Second, in terms of tonnage, the majority were Dutch vessels with European captains, and only they had a connection with the Netherlands.\nTable 6\u2002Dutch Flag Ships Arriving at Batavia in 1836\nTable 7 shows the embarkation ports of ships arriving at Batavia in 1836. Among the 852 vessels, 419 came from ports in Java and Madura. Vessels from Semarang (96 vessels and 31,214 tons) took the largest share in Java, followed by Indramayu (75 vessels and 13,021 tons), Surabaya (66 vessels and 24,251 tons), and Cirebon (62 vessels and 10,924 tons). With regard to per ship tonnage, larger vessels were used for trade with ports far from Batavia, which means that indigenous traders tended to be engaged in trade with ports near Batavia while Western merchants were engaged in coastal trade with Javanese ports far from Batavia. Because of the continuous development of the coastal trade from the late eighteenth century, plenty of Javanese products were sent to Batavia via the coastal trade. However, around 1836 Batavia managed to become an exporter of rice. While Batavia\u2019s net imports of rice were 4,382 koyans in 1828 and 1,552 koyans in 1829, they were 14,405 koyans in 1838 and 9,709 koyans in 1844 (1 koyan=approximately 1,380 kg).9) This reflects the fact that in relative terms Batavia concentrated on the production of rice rather than sugar, while eastern Java specialized in sugar production at the time of the Cultivation System.\nTable 7\u2002Ships Arriving at Batavia in 1836\nTrade with the Eastern Archipelago, as defined in this article, consisted of trade with the Outer Islands and Singapore. Singapore, Riouw, Palembang, and Banda were among the more important, each exceeding 2,000 tons. Regarding other parts of Asia, China was slightly significant in terms of tonnage as seen in Table 7, although Table 4 shows the share of the China trade was exceptionally high in terms of value. Yet, the shares of Japan and India were very small. Meanwhile, with regard to the Western world, Amsterdam took 11.2 percent of the total in terms of tonnage. It was followed by Rotter\u00addam (9.6 percent), Boston (4.0 percent), and Liverpool (3.2 percent). These ports were linked with cotton textile exports to the Dutch East Indies.\nThis article investigated the trade pattern of Java from the late eighteenth century to the mid-nineteenth century from a long-term perspective. Its initial purpose was to examine what happened to the maritime trade of Java during the so-called watershed period, which was the beginning of the nineteenth century. This research examined the long-term trend along several dimensions, by asking what conditions prevailed from the eighteenth century, what conditions in the early modern period were discontinued, and what conditions were established during the period from the late eighteenth century to the second quarter of the nineteenth century. The period in question lacks a comprehensive set of data on Javanese trade, with information on local and regional trade being particularly scarce. To fill in the missing pieces and identify a broad trend, the paper attempted to examine data on both the late eighteenth century and the second quarter of the nineteenth century, and, by putting them together with the scattered data available on the first half of the nineteenth century such as business by American traders in Asian waters, suggested the following patterns.\nFirst, while the well-known trend that Java\u2019s economic relations with the outside world were heavily oriented toward trade with the Netherlands is confirmed, it is suggested that this trend began in the late eighteenth century rather than as a result of the introduction of the Cultivation System. Second, Java\u2019s coastal trade also began to develop in the late eighteenth century. This trade was conducted by European traders and Asian indigenous traders, including overseas Chinese traders settled in Java.\nThird, trade with the Outer Islands declined in the late eighteenth century but resumed its expansion in the second quarter of the nineteenth century. Fourth, intra-Asian trade with the region outside insular Southeast Asia declined in the long run, along with the decline and bankruptcy of the VOC, which had successfully engaged in this branch of intra-Asian trade since the seventeenth century. Although US vessels helped in wartime around the turn of the century, Java\u2019s intra-Asian trade with areas outside of insular Southeast Asia did not grow in relative importance after Java was returned to the Dutch authorities, which preferred Java to have stronger links with the Netherlands and the Outer Islands rather than with South Asia and Japan.\nArsip Batavia\n1/2: Algemeen jaarlijksch verslag van den staat der Hoofd Baljuwage Batavia 1828/1829 [General annual report of the State of the Chief Taskmaster in Batavia 1828/1829].\n2/2: Algemeen verslag 1839/1844 [General report 1839/1844].\n338.3: Haven -Department Batavia- Register der in- en uitgeklaarde schepen en vaartuigen gedurende het jaar 1836 [Ports: Department of Batavia: Register of incoming and outgoing ships and vessels during the year 1836].\n_: Bijlage 1: Staat der bevolking in de residentie Batavia over de jaren 1833, 1834, 1835 en 1836 [Appendix 1: State of the population in the residency of Batavia over the years 1833, 1834, 1835, and 1836].\nArsip Hoge Regering\n2627: Dagregister Batavia 1770 [Diary of Batavia 1770].\nBeaglehole, J.

        "raw_content": "Vol. 7, No. 1, BOOK REVIEWS, YEN VU\nShip of Fate: Memoir of a Vietnamese Repatriate\nTr\u1ea7n \u0110\u00ecnh Tr\u1ee5. Translated by Bac Hoai Tran and Jana K. Lipman\nHonolulu: University of Hawai\u2018i Press in association with UCLA Asian American Studies Center, 2017.\nAmong the first words to describe Tr\u1ea7n \u0110\u00ecnh Tr\u1ee5\u2019s Ship of Fate: Memoir of a Vietnamese Repatriate is \u201cresilience,\u201d for his South Vietnamese perspective admirably intimates the many trials that test\u2014without budging\u2014his one goal of reuniting with his family. The reader sympathizes with Tr\u1ea7n \u0110\u00ecnh Tr\u1ee5 very early in his memoir, because despite long days away at sea at the beginning of his career, he always patiently looked toward going home. And yet when Jana Lipman writes in the introduction that this memoir has \u201csurvived multiple iterations and reflects more than one moment in time\u201d (p. 4), she highlights the possibility of the memoir, as a written work of memories, to also be resilient in the face of its own tests of time. Indeed, it would not be the first time the author writes about his life, since for many months during his first year in the reeducation camp self-examinations were a daily exercise. And this being a translation, we are duly reminded of the time and the challenges that go into the work. This latest iteration, contributed by Lipman with Bac Hoai Tran, is a crucial one, for they have managed to render the resilience of both story and storyteller relevant and accessible to a wider audience.\nBased on my knowledge of the Vietnamese language, one of the language\u2019s more beautiful but also difficult aspects to grasp is the extensive use of implied and figurative speech. Meanings that are inherent in simple, everyday words\u2014pronouns, for example\u2014can make the language elusive and even arduous to translate. Where Lipman has mentioned Tr\u1ea7n \u0110\u00ecnh Tr\u1ee5 less generously with details, such as in his relationship with his wife and in encounters with his family, I genuinely wondered what other clues, possible those untranslatable, I might have been able to parse out from the Vietnamese version. Perhaps subtle implications such as those behind personal pronouns might more satisfyingly reveal the intimacies beyond the English \u201cyou\u201d or \u201cme.\u201d This curiosity is one indulged by a speaker of Vietnamese but does not speak to the quality of the translation. Eloquent and intricate, the translation brings non-Vietnamese speakers and readers a concise narrative that respects the palpability of Tr\u1ea7n \u0110\u00ecnh Tr\u1ee5\u2019s struggles put in writing. Able word choices manage to evoke the same specific sentiments as the Vietnamese equivalent: the recurring \u201crest easy\u201d is very much the reassuring \u201cy\u00ean t\u00e2m,\u201d and the connotation of a gentle wife is immediately that of \u201cng\u01b0\u1eddi v\u1ee3 hi\u1ec1n.\u201d In both the original and the translation, however, accessibility remains at stake. In making a text more widely accessible with an English translation, the risk of filing away nuances that are exclusive to the language is inherent. But as important as the accuracy of words or nuances are, the translators also seem to acknowledge that certain sentiments do not translate easily into words for the writer. In other words, sometimes the parts that remain untranslatable are beyond the linguistic problem of going from one language to another.\nSpecialists and non-specialists alike will find this translation into English enriching and useful; the historical elements along with the pull of betrayal, loss, and suspense make the memoir an informative and intriguing read. One learns another angle of the Vietnamese refugee experience and reevaluates the generalized trajectory of refugees escaping Communism and evacuating a \u201clost nation.\u201d Tr\u1ea7n \u0110\u00ecnh Tr\u1ee5\u2019s own reflections also shed light on the ambivalent Vietnamese perception of the American presence in Vietnam, for not everyone who lived in the South identified as pro-American or anticommunist or both. While officers such as Tr\u1ee5 were grateful for the resources and training provided by the United States, they were also well aware of the latter\u2019s power and ability to withdraw aid at any point. Tr\u1ee5\u2019s narrative, along with its translation, contribute an important perspective that, while being indeed a Southern Vietnamese perspective, draws upon the complexities of political positions and sides rather than advocates them.\nThe author begins with his childhood, which does more than set up the story chronologically, for it also provides the reader with crucial historical context as well as the author\u2019s own development of values. We learn of his travels to other countries as well as the privileges and liberties reaped by Southern Vietnamese officers in the late 1960s at the pinnacle of US intervention. Writing about the days leading up to April 30, 1975, when many political leaders and civilians were pining to leave the country, Tr\u1ee5 openly questions one\u2019s sense of duty to the country. While the United States has always been associated with the weight of abandoning what was started in Vietnam, Tr\u1ee5 directly calls out the responsibility of the South Vietnamese officers who were trained to defend their country. What purpose did any US intervention serve if these officers did not stay to utilize the tools that were given to them? On the one hand, this critical perspective prompts us to reconsider how the idea of patriotism can change when one feels defeat or loss for one\u2019s country. It is understandable that people should leave, for how can they feel patriotic or even connected to their country when everything recognized as such is removed, replaced, or destroyed? Yet on the other hand, Tr\u1ee5 very much resists the idea that Vietnam depended on the United States, without skills of its own, because such reliance also relinquishes the effort and responsibility of nation building solely to the Americans. It is a stark reminder of the different ways \u201cnation\u201d can be understood at the time of nation building. For Tr\u1ee5, who was evacuated to Guam, his strong desire for repatriation speaks to his understanding, which is that while the leaders of his nation were replaced, his land and country still remain.\nThe struggle for repatriation occupies much of the narrative, which focuses on the author\u2019s time as a refugee on Guam during the latter half of 1975. The memoir thus provides important details regarding the refugee population on Guam, the divisions within the refugee community, and the bureaucratic obstacles dealing with the UNHCR, the United States, and the Vietnamese government. The horror of the reeducation camps is also presented, but the passing of the years in these camps is reflected in the length of the section: a single chapter, where years of a mundane but uneasy life are conflated without precise indications of time. In this sense, the memoir is more informative than it is lamenting; where Tr\u1ee5 dwells are where facts can be recalled more objectively. In fact, the gratuitous passages about protests and shady characters seem to overpopulate his retelling of events and unfortunately do not compensate for the brevity of the already few intimate moments.\nLipman\u2019s introduction very deliberately prepares the reader for Tr\u1ee5\u2019s matter-of-fact, simple, and reserved tone throughout the memoir. Her introduction convincingly defends Tr\u1ee5\u2019s overall style in order to point to an important quality of the memoir for the attentive reader. Often, the instances in which language seems to be missing reflect the difficult nature of instances being retold and revisited. In more superficial ways, this tone does seem to glide over the suffering and the pain we can sense the author experienced. But the \u201cstrained, stilted passages\u201d (p. 18) that describe his reunion with his family for the first time after six years correspond to the guarded and even insular nature of memories. While the idea of a memoir seems to promise truth and transparency in its accounts, the way memories are actually inscribed in our minds is not straightforward. Whether it is an experience of trauma, trial, relief, or even joy, the memory or forgetting of these experiences will occur differently. An event is not simply stored as a memory, and a memory is not simply reiterated as a memoir. Tr\u1ee5 testifies in his own words where he stands in the process of writing the memoir and retelling his story\u2014\u201cwe each had our own sorrow\u201d\u2014or again later when leaving the ship Vi\u1ec7t Nam Th\u01b0\u01a1ng Tin, \u201cour memories remain locked in our own minds\u201d (p. 164). While these statements follow particular events in his story, they reflect a consistent adherence to the privacy, specificity, and intangibility of an individual\u2019s sorrow and memory of it. In a way, it is similar to the untranslatable, that which slips through words, from one language to another, from one interlocutor to another, that which, for what it is worth, should be left intact.\n\u00ab Vol. 7, No. 1, BOOK REVIEWS, Faizah ZAKARIA\nVol. 7, No. 1, BOOK REVIEWS, Dinah ROMA \u00bb\nCambodia Malaysia democratization Singapore Indonesia Southeast Asia Vietnam Islam monarchy Buddhism democracy technocracy Thailand Philippines religion",

It argues that much existing research on issues of gender, fear and safety have focused on urban areas and that as a result we know relatively little about women's experience of fear in a rural context. As well as arguing that we need to redress the balance and respond to the dearth of knowledge about rural women's fear, the paper asserts the importance of a rural perspective in understanding the relationship between fear and the social and cultural construction of place. The rural in particular provides an important site for such an understanding since, as is argued here, the notion of safety is central to constructions of rurality. The paper presents data on rural women's experience of fear and crime from research carried out in New Zealand and the UK. It draws on work undertaken in four rural communities and begins to identify the extent and nature of women's fears and how these relate to their experience of rurality. The paper shows how while popular constructions of the rural as friendly, safe and largely crime free endure, there is a recognition amongst rural women of the growing problems surrounding personal safety. It also demonstrates the importance of social constructions of the rural community in identifying the relevance of the 'stranger' and the marginalised 'other' to women's feelings of fear.\nDescriptors: Foreign Countries, Urban Areas, Safety, Females, Rural Areas, Fear, Crime, Rural Education, Gender Issues\nElsevier Customer Service Department, 6277 Sea Harbor Drive, Orlando, FL 32887-4800.

        "raw_content": "In Their Shoes: Teachers Experience the Needs of English Language Learners through a Math Simulation\nde Oliveira, Luciana C.\nMulticultural Education , v19 n1 p59-62 Fall 2011\nGiven the increase in the number of culturally and linguistically diverse students in American schools, it is vital for teacher education programs to address the needs of English Language Learners (ELLs) in their courses. Mainstream, general education teachers who did not previously experience this student population in their classes are now seeing high numbers of ELLs among their students. Therefore, all teachers, not just specialist English as Second Language (ESL) or bilingual professionals, need to be prepared to work with ELLs (Lucas & Grinberg, 2008). Teachers' attitudes and beliefs about ELLs can be influenced by their lack of empathy for these students' experiences and backgrounds. Many pre-service and inservice teachers need not only to learn strategies to work with ELLs but also to feel what it is like to be language learners themselves. This article describes a math simulation activity in Brazilian Portuguese designed to increase teachers' awareness of what learners feel when they are immersed in a language they do not understand. This simulation has been utilized in K-12 ESL methods courses and in professional development programs in Indiana. The author contextualizes the simulation through reflection questions that teachers address in their discussion after the simulation. As a way to demonstrate how teachers have engaged in the simulation and developed more empathy for ELLs, this article includes excerpts from teachers' reflections, collected over four years in different contexts.\nDescriptors: Teacher Education Programs, English (Second Language), Second Language Learning, Empathy, Teacher Attitudes, Elementary Secondary Education, Methods Courses, Student Needs, English Language Learners, Educational Strategies, Faculty Development, Simulation, Mathematics Instruction, Teaching Experience\nCaddo Gap Press. 3145 Geary Boulevard PMB 275, San Francisco, CA 94118.

        "raw_content": "Trends in Enucleation of Unilateral Retinoblastoma Over Three Decades in 461 Cases\nEpstein, J.A.; Shields, C.L.; Shields, J.A.\nARVO Annual Meeting Abstract Search & Program Planner : Abstract No 2588\nPurpose: To evaluate trends in the management of unilateral retinoblastoma over the past 12 years (1989-2001) and compare with the previous two decades (1974-1988). Methods: Data from 282 consecutive patients with unilateral retinoblastoma from 1989-2001 were gathered in a retrospective, noncomparative fashion and compared with 179 consecutive patients with unilateral retinoblastoma from 1974-1988. The patients were evaluated with regard to tumor characteristics and primary tumor treatment including enucleation, chemoreduction, external beam radiotherapy, and focal treatments (cryotherapy, laser photocoagulation, plaque radiotherapy). Results: Between 1989 and 2001, there were 282 patients with unilateral retinoblastoma. Primary treatment included enucleation (65%), chemoreduction (16%), external beam radiotherapy (7%), and focal treatments (12%). With regard to Reese Ellsworth classification, enucleation was performed in 0% of group I, 6% of group II, 20% of group III, 38% of group IV, and 84%of group V. Eyes with vitreous seeding only were commonly enucleated (76%) while those with subretinal seeding only were commonly enucleated (49%) or treated with chemoreduction (36%). Over the past three decades, the enucleation rate for unilateral retinoblastoma has stabilized at approximately 73%. Conclusion: The management of unilateral retinoblastoma varies depending on many factors including the extent of disease (Reese-Ellsworth classification) and available treatment options. The decrease in enucleation rates seen between 1974 and 1988 have stabilized over the past 12 years at approximately 73%.\nTrends of reported cases of retinoblastoma post-enucleation seeking prosthetic rehabilitation: Few annotations.

        "raw_content": "Krack Attack\nIt may sound like something from a comedy show or comic book, but don\u2019t be fooled!\nThe newly uncovered Wi-Fi security vulnerability is something that potentially affects millions of devices. These attacks can be used to read your internet communications, inject ransomware and malware, steal personal information and other sensitive data, including financial information and passwords.\nThe vulnerability affects both private and public Wi-Fi networks, specifically targeting the trusted Wi-Fi encryption tool WPA2, which is designed to keep user internet activity private. Although the hacker must be onsite to be able to leverage the vulnerability, this does not mean you are safe.\nIn order to best protect yourself from threats, it is advisable to regularly check, patch and update your wifi enabled devices. In addition, resetting passwords and upgrading your hardware and software to options that offer more comprehensive security features is advisable.\nIn businesses, education is a key factor in ensuring that employees are able to detect and report any security vulnerabilities within the organisation and to ensure that employees act in a safe manner online. Although rectification of vulnerabilities and protection from threats comes at a cost, it is almost always significantly less than the business would pay following a security breach.\nSecurity threats are real, they are serious and they aren\u2019t going away any time soon.\nSign up to our Cyber Security Basics mailing list for a bunch of resources that help you to learn more about the potential threats, how they could affect you and how you can act to prevent them.",

In fact, research from Liberty Mutual Insurance found that disabling, nonfatal workplace injuries amounted to nearly $62 billion in direct U.S. worker\u2019s compensation costs-which translates to more than a billion dollars a week spent on these injuries.\nFurthermore, the research report states that the top causes of workplace injuries include:\nOverexertion involving outside source\nFalls on same level\nFalls to lower level\nStruck by Object or Equipment\nRoadway incidents involving motorized land vehicle\nRepetitive Motions Involving micro-tasks\nInjuries aren\u2019t the only thing that happens-workplace fatalities are also a reality. According to OSHA, some of the most common causes of workplace fatalities in 2014 include:\nRoadway collision with other vehicle\nHomicides/Intentional injury by other person\nTo help prevent workplace injuries and fatalities, employers are required to follow OHSA guidelines that stipulate they must act responsibly and provide employees with a safe and healthful workplace-which includes delivering safety training.\nThe Houston Chronicle shares this sentiment: \u201c\u008fWithout an understanding of safety practices related to her job, a worker will be at a higher risk for workplace injury, illness or death.\u201d\nHowever, a study from the Institute for Work and Health discovered that only one in five Canadians say they received safety training within their first year at a new job. And that the workers associated with higher injury rates-younger employees and those with physically demanding jobs-weren\u2019t any more likely to receive training.\nIt\u2019s clear that to protect workers-and your business-it\u2019s essential to provide workplace safety training.\nWho Needs Workplace Safety Training?\nThe Department of Labor (DOL) recommends training a wide range of employees: new hires, contract workers, employees who wear personal protective equipment, and workers in high-risk areas.\nThe DOL also states that it\u2019s especially essential for managers and supervisors to receive training. Furthermore, long-term workers whose job goes through significant procedure changes should be retrained. And finally, all employees in the company should be periodically trained on how to respond to emergencies.\nMaking the case for training new employees right away, the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI) asserts that every employee should be informed about the potential hazards at their workplace and taught how to properly navigate those hazards before they are exposed to them. ISRI stresses that training employees right away is extremely important to reducing accidents.\nWhat Topics Should Safety Training Cover?\nDepending on your industry there are a wide variety of topics that workplace safety training should cover. Some of the most popular include:\nWorkplace bullying prevention\nCourses that cover these topics will provide a solid foundation. It\u2019s also important to make sure your company is following any federal, state or local laws regarding training topics.\nAnd on top of having employees take the training courses, it\u2019s important to create a culture of safety. This means making it clear that above all, safety is a number one priority at your company.\nWorkplace accidents cost companies billions of dollars every year in workers\u2019 compensation claims, but-more importantly-they also employees their lives. To prevent injuries and keep your company\u2019s employees safe, it\u2019s important to provide workplace safety training to all employees-especially those at a high risk for injury.\nOur workplace safety training courses cover a wide variety of topics.

We learn to use eyes, facial expressions, smile, and cry, point our fingers, and kick our feet. We learn to love, to be intimate, and have good manners. When we get older we learn about knowledge, good judgement, family education, academic regulations, community living, and ways to interact with one another. We learn to appreciate our parents\u2019 caring and raising us.\nWe learn to respect and appreciate our teachers who educated us. We learn to get along with our sibling, friends, and schoolmates. We learn to cooperate, support, and respect the elders and scholars. We learn professional skills and research. We learn about kindness, love, and conservation. We learn sports and do exercises to keep our body healthy.\nLife is about giving and serving others; we put others\u2019 interests ahead of our own. We shall be honest and not greedy. We shall accommodate and yield to others. We shall work hard and make an honest living in our professions. We shall be trustworthy and behold righteous thoughts.

Although the temperature is below freezing, the water remains liquid because of its salt content.\n\u201cIt was not completely dark, not what I expected,\u201d Astakhov said after the dive, the defence ministry\u2019s Zvezda channel reported. \u201cIt was a joy to see the living creatures that exist at the depth of 102 metres, practically on the bottom of the White Sea.\u201d\nSerbian Bozana Ostojic, a member of the World Underwater Federation and a logistics expert from late underwater pioneer Jacques-Yves Cousteau\u2019s team, was present at the dive and confirmed the record.\nIn video published by Russian media, Astakhov and Gubin can be seen clambering into a hole in the ice with several air tanks strapped to their backs. Connected by ropes to a guideline and using electric torches to illuminate the way, they descended to the record depth with at least a dozen air tanks for testing. After surfacing, one of the divers can be heard saying his equipment didn\u2019t work at first in the extreme conditions, but later began functioning.\nThe expedition to the White Sea is part of the Russian Geographical Society\u2019s 13 Seas of Russia project, which began last July with a dive in the Barents Sea that reached a depth of 111 metres (364ft), reportedly setting a record for deepest dive in the Arctic. Before the latest dive, members of the Russian Geographical Society\u2019s underwater research division completed the first dive, descending into a lake near Oymyakon, the coldest inhabited place on Earth, in 2013. They also made the deepest ever dive in Antarctica.\nThe Russian Geographical Society was established by Emperor Nicholas I in 1845 as both a scientific and patriotic initiative and helped explore Russia and the polar territories. President Vladimir Putin is the society\u2019s chairman, and the defence minister, Sergei Shoigu, its president.\nChecking in with Everest: About Ueli, Messner, Logistics and Tracking (Interview)\nRyan Waters on what's happening Back from a C3 round on Everest, Mountain Professionals team are ready for summit push.Some of the climbers ...\nHelicopter out to search for new ice floe, Ilyushin from Russia on hold (Correne Coetzer) While the Russian staff at Barneo uses every minut...\nAntarctic helicopter pilot dies of injuries after crevasse fall\nA helicopter pilot critically injured in Antarctica on Monday (Jan.11) when he fell 20 metres down a crevasse has died.

With this newly developed technique the scientists can explore the reason of plant stem growth.\nA team of scientists have developed a cell detecting technique that will allow them to identify changes inside the cell of a plant surface. While developing the technique the team of scientist focused on the Shoot Apical Meristem (SAM). SAM is known as a development-cluster in plants. The scientists have added that Shoot Apical Meristem is also responsible for shape and size of the plants.\nTo know the exact reason behind the stem development the scientists have combined two different approaches of plant\u2019s study.

        "title": "The AFC South Breakdown \u2013 Fantasy Fumble",
        "raw_content": "Possibly the weakest division in the AFC, however with some major fantasy football talent, it also is one of the most exciting to watch. The AFC South produced three .500 or above teams in 2016, and boasts teams with hearty offensive lines, beast-like defensive lines, and a quarterback with potential to post huge numbers at any given time. What will this season look like in 2017 for this division? Fantasy Fumble Fanatics; The AFC South Breakdown.\nJacksonville Jaguars (Record prediction 5-11)\nLet\u2019s start with the obvious. Poor Jacksonville has been in an uphill battle since 2007 when they posted their last winning record. After bringing in Blake Bortles in 2014, hope was high for Jaguar fans. Unfortunately, due to a lack of weapons on offense, an offensive line that just can\u2019t seem to find a groove, and an absolute dumpster fire as a quarterback, Jacksonville hasn\u2019t been able to accomplish anything. The last two seasons, Bortles has thrown for over 3,000 yards, but has failed time and time again to lead the Jags to wins.\nThe Jags may have had a small victory this year in the draft by acquiring Leonard Fournette who promises to be a productive NFL running back. Unfortunately for Fournette, his career is going to be rife with extreme challenges and endless disadvantages being on this Jaguars team. The offensive line is crumbling, the quarterback situation is dire, and while the expectations of the team are low, the expectations for him are extremely high. 2017 will be another year of trials and tribulations for this struggling franchise.\nIndianapolis Colts (Record prediction 8-8\u2026.again)\nThe Colts have had an interesting 5 seasons since the arrival of Andrew Luck. Replacing an injured and declining Peyton Manning, Luck had some big shoes to fill and, at first, it looked like he would. In the first three seasons, Luck continued to improve and take his team deeper and deeper into the playoffs. Leading huge comebacks and managing an offense that was able to stretch the field and score on the long ball at any given time. Unfortunately for Colts fans, they have witnessed their next star quarterback slide into a decline the last two seasons. This can be attributed to many things, including an injury plagued 2015 season which led to offseason surgery after the 2016 mediocre 8-8 campaign. The Colts are starting this season without the highest paid player in the league and this does not bode well for their season.\nThe last two seasons, Indy has gone 8-8 and missed the playoffs. While the Colts are not a team to completely write-off it is going to be very hard for the franchise to keep themselves in the race this season. With Luck still being injury prone and a disappointing roster of offensive weapons, the Colts will have to put the pedal to the metal at the end 2017 for any hope at a playoff berth.\nHouston Texans (Record prediction 9-7)\nLast year the Houston Texans battled their way to a 9-7 record and secured a spot in the playoffs despite the horrendous year of the highly touted (and highly paid) quarterback Brock Osweiler. On the back of their defensive line, the Texans reached the playoffs and beat a Derek Carr-less Oakland Raiders team in the wild card game. Then the Texans went on to give a frustrated and under pressured Tom Brady a little bit of trouble in the divisional playoff game. The Texans looked through a large scope during the draft looking to bolster a lot of spots on their roster starting with QB. Deshaun Watson, quarterback from Clemson, was the Texas first overall pick at number 12 in the 2017 draft, yet he will most likely not be the starting QB come Week 1.\nThat job belongs to 4-year Texans backup QB Tom Savage. The coaching staff, as well as front office have liked the way Savage has played this camp, and so far in the preseason. Although they have not completely ruled out Watson from playing in certain situations, it is clear that Tom Savage will be the starter for the Texans come Week 1. With the confusion at QB and questionable offensive weapons it is not crazy to assume the Texans will struggle this season, but with a starting QB familiar with the system and a defensive line that is arguably one of the best in the NFL. I see this division to be just out of grasp for the Texans.\nTennessee Titans (Record prediction 11-5)\nThe Tennessee Titans are becoming a force to be reckoned with in the AFC South. DeMarco Murray continues to prove why he belongs as a starting RB in the NFL and Marcus Mariota is facing a year where he can cement himself as a legitimate starting QB in the NFL. With arguably the best offensive line in the NFL and one of the most sturdy and stalwart running backs the league has to offer, Mariota will be poised to prove that he can do more than hang on to a lead and make some big plays a few times a game. Being in the AFC South is a huge advantage this year for Tennessee seeing as the opposing teams, while not being complete pushover\u2019s (see NFC West Breakdown) are not the sturdiest competition in the league. The Titans defense is going to need to step up this year and hold some pretty decent teams to manageable offensive production, but the Titans offense will be looking to put the pedal to the metal and really show what they are capable of with the grinding of DeMarco Murray, the steady consistency of Delanie Walker, and the explosive and ever improving Marcus Mariota.\nGiven the weak division they are in and the potential to score points when needed I see the Titans steam rolling the AFC South. What is to become of them in the playoffs is still to be seen, but one thing is for certain\u2026 we will be seeing the Titans in the playoffs this year. Fantasy Fumble fanatics, Eric Sanino is going out on a limb with a bold prediction.

        "title": "MEST Sharpens Focus on Offshore Energy Sector - Faroe Business Report",
        "raw_content": "MEST Sharpens Focus on Offshore Energy Sector\nHome/Archives/Archive 2015/MEST Sharpens Focus on Offshore Energy Sector\nThe MEST shipyard and engineering group is staking its claim in repairs and maintenance of oil and gas-related assets, complementing business for the fishing industry with work on offshore support vessels, oil tankers and oil rigs.\nLast year (2014) brought significant developments for MEST, the Faroese shipyard and engineering group. Regardless of the company\u2019s many decades of experience in shipbuilding and repairs, the year produced critical client references that will likely prove useful for what has been identified as the company\u2019s new market focus: the offshore energy industry in the Northeast Atlantic.\nIn other words, offshore rigs and offshore support vessels in the North Sea and elsewhere in the relative vicinity of the Faroe Islands \u2014 even large tankers \u2014 are now part of MEST\u2019s targeted business sectors, alongside the Faroe Islands\u2019 domestic fleet of primarily fishing vessels.\nUnderpinning this new reality for MEST is an ongoing flow of business activities that includes last year\u2019s successful repair work on oil rig West Hercules as well as on oil tanker Maersk Edgar, two very different items yet both were firsts and as such both were tests passed convincingly. The vessels were repaired in the Sk\u00e1lafjord, the longest fjord of the Faroe Islands, where two of MEST\u2019s five business units are located: the Sk\u00e1la shipyard and the Runav\u00edk stainless steel workshop. While the medium-sized tanker could be worked on while berthed at a wharf, the giant rig was fixed a hundred meters or so away from the shore using advanced Dynamic Positioning (DP) technology.\nThe clients expressed their full satisfaction with the work delivered by MEST, according to CEO Mouritz Mohr.\n\u201cThese were landmark jobs,\u201d he said, \u201cas we have been looking to strengthen our portfolio in exactly these fields. For sure, over the years, through our subsidiary PAM Offshore we have worked extensively on large structures, in particular oil rigs \u2014 that is, strictly in the role of providing skilled manpower to overseas yards and doing repairs and maintenance in that capacity, as opposed to managing anything. This time it\u2019s different in that we are the ones who take on the orders and manage the whole process through and through, of course in close collaboration with our clients. So we are very pleased that the clients have indicated that they are fully satisfied with our performance, not least the quality and speed of the work. Now this means we have new references with direct relevance to the kind of projects we\u2019re looking for to further expand our repairs and maintenance business.\u201d\nThus with a growing list of references as well as an expanding network of international business contacts in the offshore energy industry, MEST, according to Mr. Mohr, are expecting to book more work on offshore support vessels while at the same time hoping to see more oil rigs and oil tankers brought to the Faroes for repair or maintenance.\nActing accordingly, the company recently hired Richard Mortensen for sales and marketing manager. A former business executive and management consultant with extensive international experience including a decade as associate partner with PA Consulting Group, Mr. Mortensen, who joined the company in January this year, remains eager to apply his skills and experience to shipyard marketing.\n\u201cI like this environment,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s very tangible and focused on clarity in most aspects of the core business. Part of my remit is to translate some of that clarity into some of the processes of communication, which to me looks like an exciting opportunity and challenge. We are going to be more proactive in our approach to market engagement.\u201d\nResearch and feedback from prospective clients has prompted an investment with the purpose of improving the dry dock of the Sk\u00e1la yard, where a modification to the dock floor will make room for more types of vessels, in particular vessels with large anchors.\n\u201cIn the late summer we\u2019re going to install a four meter deep, five by six meter wide Azimuth pit on the dock floor at Sk\u00e1la,\u201d Mr. Mohr said. \u201cThis will make our dry dock more attractive to many offshore support vessels.\u201d\nHeadquartered in T\u00f3rshavn, MEST today employs 150 to 180 people. The yard in T\u00f3rshavn is equipped with two slipways, a 200-meter dock side, two construction halls, and mobile cranes. The Sk\u00e1la yard has a slipway and a dry dock, a 400-meter dock side, a construction hall, and mobile cranes.\nThe five business units that together make up MEST each have their own history with the two oldest, Vestmanna and Sk\u00e1la, respectively, dating back to the late 19th and early 20th century; T\u00f3rshavn came in the 1930s, Runav\u00edk in the mid 1980s, and PAM Offshore in the late 1990s.\nAs of July 2014, MEST is owned by Kr\u00fanborg, the former fishing company, with Mr. Mohr holding a 10-percent share.",

        "raw_content": "Urban Cost Efficiencies\nCommentary, Frontier Centre, Manitoba, Urbanization, Winnipeg, Worth A Look November 24, 2004\nSeveral years ago, one of the wilderness organizations that is prominent in the environmental lobby moved its offices from downtown Washington, D.C. to one of the city\u2019s leafy suburbs, thus violating one of the cardinal rules of the lobby, to wit: Thou shalt urbanize.\nThe organization caught a few barbs from the media for the move, but by and large the announcement escaped any close scrutiny or discussion. Construction industry lobbyists left the issue alone, preferring to concentrate on communicating the industry\u2019s positive points to elected officials and the news media.\nYou can\u2019t fault the construction lobby\u2019s strategy or tactics, but it\u2019s a shame in many ways that we did not have a national debate over the conflict between environmentalists\u2019 desires to urbanize America and the realities of the market place.\nThe environmentalist group that moved to the suburbs did so because its office space there was dramatically cheaper than in town. That is the same reason tens of thousands of other businesses have done the same thing over the years. It is also the same reason that millions and millions of American families have chosen to locate in the suburbs.\nFor vast numbers of our citizens and businesses, large inner cities are not cost efficient.\nWhile the environmental lobby would like to force urbanization on our sprawling metropolitan areas by making highway transportation impractical, they are missing the real problem: Roads don\u2019t cause urban flight, opportunity does. The more you make movement in and near the city impossible, the more the population will spread into the hinterlands.\nWe are reversing the urbanization of America that happened in the mid-20th century, especially after World War II when millions of rural-born Americans migrated to the great cities in search of opportunity. The jobs that brought those multitudes to the cities began migrating to the suburbs in the 70s and are now drifting out to the exurbs, to the small cities and towns that were considered rural centers in the 1940s.\nWant to make cities more attractive for businesses and residents? Give them some competitive advantages. Reduce the cost differential. Where are the advantages for high-population-density living? Most services cost more in the city than they do in the suburbs, even the established suburbs. Taxes are higher. Roads are worse. Housing costs far more for much less. Many cities\u2019\npublic schools are so bad that middle class residents have to factor in private school tuition. Public transportation is more feasible than outside the cities, but only in New York City is it so extensive as to eliminate the need for a car.\nThe objections to locating families and business in inner cities can\u2019t be overcome by forcing bad roads on the suburbs and the exurbs. All that will do is stimulate more migration outward and exacerbate the problem of sprawl.\nRoads are not a threat to cities. Roads take people and businesses where they want to go, and good roads take them there efficiently. When cities are desirable places for people and businesses, roads will get them there, and good roads will get them there efficiently.",

        "title": "How My Views Have Changed. Martiny 1-2019 - Fire International",
        "raw_content": "How my views have changed.\nChristmas coming at the end of the year often causes me to reflect on all that has happened in the past twelve months. Generally, I end up with a list of accomplishments in ministry and take time to thank God for all that He has done.\nThis year; however, I found myself thinking about me, my views, my thoughts and how things have changed for me. What I ended up with was not a list of things I had done, but of ways my thoughts and perspectives had shifted, changed, and evolved.\nOne thing we have always tried to do in ministry is to ask the why behind the why. To dig deep, not just on why I am serving people, that\u2019s easy, the Bible is full of instruction on helping those in need. But to question why it is that I think that the way I am doing it is the best way, the right way, or even a good way.\n16 years of ministry has hopefully given me a better understanding with which to critique myself, so here a few of things that have changed over the years.\nHow I serve.\nMost Christians would be familiar with the Biblical instruction they have to serve orphans. From James 1:27, \u201cReligion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.\u201d to Isaiah 1:17 \u201cLearn to do right! Seek justice, encourage the oppressed. Defend the cause of the fatherless, plead the case of the widow.\u201d\nBoth the Old and New Testament make it clear that caring for the orphaned, vulnerable, and fatherless is a basic tenant of walking a Godly life.\nWhat is less clear, is how exactly to do that.\nLike many well-meaning people, for many years I had assumed the way to that was in orphanages, serving kids who had no family. However, after years of working in orphanages, I began to dig deep into what it meant for me to serve these children and serve them well.\nI came to the surprising conclusion, that many of the children placed in orphanages these days are not true orphans. They have family but have been placed in institutions because of abuse, negligence, for their protection, or because of a dysfunctional judicial system. After much prayer and consideration, we came to the conclusion that perhaps a better way for me to serve them was to work with the broken families they come from right in their communities, so that, through the power of the Gospel, we could help build strong families through the understanding of how God wanted them to care for their children, becoming the proverbial fence at the top of the hill instead of the orphanage at the bottom.\nThis ministry shift didn\u2019t happen overnight. It was years in the making. We have been slowly but surely walking out the creation of the Cadanino community centers that now serve over 300 vulnerable children and their families in the slums and ravines of Guatemala.\nIt was a difficult journey! I had to let go of so many of my presuppositions about what it meant to work with and serve orphans in order to truly embrace how I might be most effective, but I can honestly say that it was worth it.\nIt\u2019s easy for all of us, but especially those in ministry, to find our identity in what we do, as opposed to who we are.\nWhatever we do in our profession, doctor, lawyer, cook, mechanic, it takes up most of our time and we can end up looking to it to define our identity. But as Christians, it\u2019s not what we do to make a living, but who we are in Christ that should define us.\nFor me it meant learning that I was a son of God, that I was loved, that I was chosen, that I was adopted, that I was forgiven, that I belonged to God, and that I was His possession.\nOver the years as I have begun to understand that better, it has helped me to have a healthier perspective of just what I am here to do, which leads to my next point.\nThis is not my ministry.\nIt\u2019s something I say often these days; to our staff, to the kids in our programs, to people who come to visit, and mostly, to myself.\nFor many years I thought of what I did as \u201cmy work\u201d: my carpentry workshop, my computer training center, my English classes, and my ministry to orphans.\nYet as time has gone on and the ministry has grown, it has become clearer and clearer to me that this is bigger than me. I\u2019m not smart enough, wise enough, rich enough, or have enough pixie dust to have gotten things to where they are.\nSo if it\u2019s not by strength and my power that this has been done, then how has it come about?\nIt has been through God\u2019s strength, His power, His wisdom, and according to His plan that this ministry has grown in both scope and depth.\nI have been given the privilege to be a part of what God is doing, what He has been doing since before the foundation of the world, and what He will continue to do long after I am gone. He has given me the honor to be a part of His work, serving His people, through the power of His gospel to bring about His kingdom, and it\u2019s the best job in the world.\nMultiplication is the key to growth.\nAs an individual, we can only do so much on our own, but when we bring others into the work that God is doing; when we teach, train and equip them, the result is not addition but multiplication.\nLike many missionaries, for many years I was all about doing the work myself. There is nothing wrong with that, and in looking back I can see that it\u2019s the years I spent in the trenches, working, teaching, discovering what worked and what didn\u2019t, that gave me the perspective I needed to be effective in ministry.\nYet I could spend my whole life as a missionary doing these things, and the impact would likely be limited to how many hours a day I could teach. There is nothing inherently wrong with that, but it does place severe limitations on what can be accomplished.\nI have seen countless missionaries who spent years in service, yet never trained anyone to do their job, so in the end when they left, the work they were doing shut down. Yes, they had an impact in the lives of those they served; but it could have been so much more.\nOver the years, as we thought and prayed about the ministry we were doing, we came to the conclusion that if we wanted this ministry to grow into all that it could be; then we needed to bring others into what we are doing and train them to do it.\nThat led to our Eduardo, our first employee coming alongside us three years ago, and has grown to seven people working with us day in and day out to serve, teach and love hundreds of children and their families.\nWhile we still teach regular classes throughout the week, a big part of our focus is teaching, training, developing and empowering our staff to serve their own countrymen, and the impact is so much greater than if we just tried to do everything ourselves.\nAs the father of 6 kids, I know that it\u2019s my responsibility to care, provide and take care of the needs of my family above all else.\nThis hasn\u2019t always been easy over the years. The places God called us to serve required what most people would consider to be great sacrifice. I even saw it that way myself for years. That my work as a missionary meant giving up a great many things that were important to me.\nBut one thing that I knew I couldn\u2019t give up on was the education of my children. I knew it was my job to ensure they got the schooling they needed, so they could make the most of their gifts and abilities, and that was very difficult at times.\nYet this year, when my oldest daughter left home to start college, there has been no doubt that the life that she lived, the schools she went to, the church she was a part of, and the experience she had growing up as a missionary kid, prepared her for life in ways that are so much more meaningful then merely living in a good house and going to a good school.\nI see a girl who is grounded in the Gospel, who owns her faith, who works hard to pursue her dreams, who has morals and values grounded in scripture, and who is doing great at university.\nWhile I wasn\u2019t always able to give her everything she could have had if we had lived an \u201cAmerican life\u201d, God made sure she got everything she needed to live a Godly life, and that matters so much more.\nGod has provided time and time again for us over the years, more times than I can even count, and that has given me a faith, a peace and a confidence that no matter how challenging things might seem, no matter how difficult the situation, no matter how impossible, that if God has called me to do something, then He will provide, whether it\u2019s at the beginning, in the middle, or at the end. If it is his work, then He will see it through.\nThis doesn\u2019t mean that I don\u2019t worry about things; but when I think back on all that God has done for me over the years and the difficult situations He has seen me through, it quickly passes.\nThese are just a few of the ways that God has changed me in my time serving as a missionary in Guatemala. It\u2019s by no means all the ways, and He is by no means done working in my life, but I hope it gives you a better understanding of who I am as your brother in Christ.\nTim Martiny",

I was wondering, does the software support a feature whereby overlapping/intersecting closed meshes can be treated as a single SSS volume? That can be a very handy feature in some cases.\nHello, welcome Adrian!\nIt currently doesn\u2019t, but it would be fairly easy to implement.\nThis is an interesting idea so I created a ticket to keep track of it: https://github.com/appleseedhq/appleseed/issues/1229\nYou actually don\u2019t need Max or Maya to play with appleseed. If you want to get a feeling for how it works, you can just use the bunded appleseed.studio application. You can also try playing with Gaffer which has a full-featured appleseed integration: http://www.gafferhq.org/\nWow, thanks for the strong response.

        "raw_content": "This thread is more about all the things being reported\nEx-CIA chief John Brennan: Russians contacted Trump campaign\nReport: Kushner Discussed Setting Up Secret Communications With Russia\nThought this was interesting....\nAfter nearly three years in federal custody, a racketeer who was convicted of running an international gambling and money laundering ring in partnership\nwith a notorious Moscow crimelord is now living under house arrest on the 63rd floor of Trump Tower, three floors down from Trump\u2019s penthouse, which is still home to First Lady Melania Trump and the couple\u2019s 11-year-old son.\nVadim Trincher, 56, pleaded guilty in 2013 to running what a federal prosecutor called \u201cone of the biggest bookmaking operations in the world,\u201d an international racketeering enterprise that, beginning in 2006, laundered a total of approximately $100 million in gambling proceeds. Of that amount, $50 million was transferred into the U.S., often through a series of shell corporations in Cyprus that would issue phony loan agreements.\n[Trincher and his wife Elena are pictured above in their Trump Tower home.]\nOne of Trincher\u2019s partners in the gambling operation--and a codefendant in the criminal case brought by former United States Attorney Preet Bharara--was Alimzhan Tokhtakhounov, a Russian crime boss already under indictment for allegedly attempting to fix a figure skating competition at the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City. Tokhtakhounov, investigators allege, used his political, business, and criminal connections in Russia to recruit clients for the gambling operation. The fugitive gangster, nicknamed \u201cTaiwanchik,\u201d also made sure that gambling debts were paid.\nAccording to federal agents, the \u201cTaiwanchik-Trincher Organization\u201d catered primarily to \u201cmillionaires and billionaires across the globe\u201d who placed large bets--often in the hundreds of thousands of dollars--on soccer matches (and sometimes NBA and Major League Baseball games). The gambling ring\u2019s wealthy clientele primarily resided in Russia and Ukraine, according to court records.\nhttp://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/crime/house-arrest-in-trump-tower-378095\nhttp://www.nbcwashington.com/news/national-international/Donald-Trump-Jr-Release-Emails-Russian-Lawyer-433852983.html?_osource=SocialFlowTwt_DCBrand\nPresident Donald Trump's eldest son has released an email chain that he says led to a meeting with a Russian lawyer in June, during the presidential campaign.\nIn the emails, Donald Trump Jr. is told that the lawyer has been given incriminating information on Hillary Clinton supplied to a billionaire linked to Russian President Vladimir Putin by a Russian prosecutor. He is told that a \"Russian government attorney\" was arriving in New York City from Moscow to meet.\nThe revelations about the meeting, which took place in Trump Tower and was attended by Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and then-campaign chairman Paul Manafort, have fueled new questions about the Trump campaign's possible ties to Moscow, which are being scrutinized by federal and congressional investigators.\nIn one email, Donald Trump Jr. is told: \"The Crown prosecutor of Russia met with his father Aras (Agalarov) this morning and in their meeting offered to provide the Trump campaign with some official documents and information that would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia and would be very useful to your father. This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government's support for Mr. Trump - helped by Aras and Emin\" Agalarov, Aras' son.\nSo apparently Trump Jr (and stand in for Patrick Bateman) has admitted to a meeting with a Russian Lawyer who said she had damaging info on Clinton's involvement with the Russians, to which he is suggesting this woman had nothing and was \"incoherent\". This was a meeting he has before denied happened.\nUhm, you we're meeting with the Russians to try to get damaging info (that didn't exist) on your opponent..... the Russians....\nAll this while Trump Sr is suggesting that he and Putin are going to set up a cyber security group to ensure that election tampering doesn't happen in the future.\nThink about that for a minute.....\nOn 7/11/2017 at 11:49 AM, Jamie_B said:\nWhen he says \"election tampering\" he doesn't mean the Russians or some other foreign power, he means the 15th Amendment.\nSo apparently there was an Ex Soviet Spy in the Trump Jr meeting....\nhttps://www.aol.com/article/news/2017/07/14/only-one-person-who-fits-profile-of-ex-soviet-spy-at-trump-jr-meeting-russian-lawyer/23030017/\nI'm still trying to figure out what crime was committed here. Trump people, (non-government people back in June), met with Russian people, (again non-government people), to discuss pre-election strategy against an opponent. This happens all the time in every election at every level. Sure, being a foreign country makes it odd, admittedly, but I don't think it's illegal.\nSo everyone shows up, the dirt on Hillary turns out to be a pretense, and nothing election related is discussed. I've read that the female Russian attorney wanted to discuss the Magnitsky Act or the Dima Yakovlev Law, seeing both in a lot places.\nThe attention this is getting is much ado about nothing. Flame away...\nIf you really don't see the problem there is no explaining it to you.\nYeah it's hilarious to me how all these folks who like to consider themselves such die-hard patriots have no issue at all with a Russian former KGB agent meddling in our elections. Tell us more about the dire need for \"Voter ID\" laws, why don't you?\nHere we have some dude claiming that they weren't really discussing election tampering, they just used that as a pretense to discuss something totally harmless. Dude.. What are you smoking?\nHey speaking of which, maybe we could meet up to discuss you selling me some of that crack rock BUT OH WHAT I REALLY MEAN IS I'D LIKE TO PURCHASE YOUR USED LAWNMOWER. I just said that stuff about the crack so nobody got suspicious about the totally legal thing we're really doing! LOL nothing to see here folks!\nFucking listen to your bullshit for a moment and ask why anyone without Trump and/or Putin's balls on their chin would actually believe that. I mean I understand that y'all really identify with a self-absorbed megadouche and envy him because he's rich and can get away with saying the horribly ignorant shit you only dare to think, but are you really that committed to going down with his ship?\n17 hours ago, Enon Bengal said:\nhttp://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/07/12/what-is-collusion-215366\nFrom the article.....\n\"For example, if Donald Trump Jr. sought \u201cdirt\u201d on Hillary Clinton from the Russians, he might be charged with conspiring to violate the election laws of the United States, which prohibit foreign nationals from contributing any \u201cthing of value\u201d to an electoral campaign. The opposition dirt is at least plausibly a thing of value. And to the extent that the Trump campaign aided, abetted or advised the Russians (or any other hackers) about what would be most useful to steal from the Democrats or how best to enhance the impact of their release, they may well have violated the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.\"\nI really hope we are not at a point where colluding with a hostile foreign country to effect the outcome of our elections is a partisan \"left/right\" issue. If we are at that point it is a incredibly scary place to be.\nBut her e-mails, Jamie!\nLibrul teers!\nSpicy is out and Herr Trump appoints another Goldman Sachs plutocrat. Millions of Trump faithful throughout the Midwest struggle to find new ways to identify themselves with a petulant NYC billionaire.\nManafort and Gates plead Not Guilty to Conspiracy against the US.\nPapadopoulos pleads Guilty to lying to the FBI\nThe special counsel has asked for $10 million bail for Manafort, $5 million bail for Gates. Both termed \"flight risks.\" The court stands now in recess.\nMaybe I'm wrong...but I get the feeling things are going to really start to happen quickly with all of this.\nOn 7/14/2017 at 7:11 PM, Enon Bengal said:\nI'm still trying to figure out what crime was committed here.\nEven if no law was broken, don't you have a problem with Russia (or any foreign government) trying to influence our elections?\nShouldn't elections for U S leaders be controlled by U S citizens? Don't our interests outweigh those of foreign countries?\nI hate all politicians, but you have to wonder... if they had any evidence of collusion AT ALL, don\u2019t you think we\u2019d already have impeachment proceedings started?\nI know that doesn\u2019t play nice with the most popular rhetoric, that being \u201cbecause he won he\u2019s guilty\u201d, but the Stay Puft Cheetoh SHOULD be impeached if collusion is proven, which I don\u2019t think it will be sadly enough. All anyone has is hearsay and innuendo, meanwhile the DNC is looking more guilty by the minute. This while the GOP fiddles while Rome is burning...\nOur current political machine is the perfect rendering and exact match for a Mongolian Clusterfuck.\nFederal investigations are notoriously slow, methodical and when charges are brought they tend to be slam-dunks.\nWhat is the DNC more and more guilty of by the minute?\n19 minutes ago, CincyInDC said:\nYeah they definitely don't indict people over \"hearsay and innuendo.\" That being said, we've elected a President who had fairly obvious ties to mafia money laundering so the impression I'm getting is that a whole lot of people simply don't care if he's a criminal. The people who voted for him are fine with him being a former KGB agent's bitch; it's bizarre. These same people generally self-identify as some kind of hardcore patriot, often believed the Manchurian Candidate conspiracy theories about Obama being some Muslim sleeper agent, yet continue to support Trump through all of this & more.\nUranium One, the \u201cmeeting that meant nothing on the tarmac\u201d... etc.\nBelieve me, I spare NO party or politician. The very fact the Trump won the nomination should be proof that our country is fucking moronic... let alone win the presidency.\nI don\u2019t believe Trump is guilty of everything he\u2019s being blamed for, as well as Clinton isn\u2019t guilty of everything they\u2019ve said she has done.\nI do believe American politics jumped the shark decades ago and it\u2019s all very completely fucked.\nNone of them give a rats ass about right or wrong, good and bad, and the American citizen is the LEAST of their cares.\nI was genuinely curious about what the DNC was being accused of. I'm not in the loop when it comes to many things.\nTriangulating this shit isn't easy; lots of vectors to consider. This'll be longish, especially as I recommend that you read in full the articles I'll link to, but I hope some of you will take the time.\nRead an interesting piece today, \"John Boehner Unchained\". I enjoy this type of article for the background details that are often provided. In this one, you'll get a sense of the centrifugal forces at work in the Republican party. And a nice precis on the party from Gingrich to present. Of note, consider the bits where deal-making and compromise are contrasted with hard-line stubbornness and refusal to compromise.\nNor is all well with the Democratic party. Read Gaius Publius' piece, \"Defining Neoliberalism\". And while this applies to both parties in spades, the Dem side of this wasn't super prominent until this past election. But the Third Way has been around for a long time. More on the Dems in a moment. The key aspect of this article is that it lays out one of the major currents of what I have on occasion described as this ocean of shit we are living in. Publius makes this point, too, and much better than I have.\nNow, the Dems have their own centrifugal forces at work. The DNC is doubling down on neoliberalism as demonstrated by its recent purge of lefties (Sanders types) from important places in the organization. (See \"It's Still Their Party: What the DNC Purge Means for the Democrats' Left Flank.\") Also, note what Tony Podesta did today: \"The Sudden Fall of Washington's Ultimate Powerbroker.\" This is directly related to the Mueller investigation.\nOkay. Now let's see if we can find some fixed points from which to triangulate.\n1) Geopolitics: A US-centric world versus an emerging multi-polar world. It's in the interest of the establishment to preserve \"the end of History\" at least as a thin veneer to maintaining its power. Think NATO out-of-area-deployments, sundry Color Revolutions, China (and its One Belt, One Road initiative) and Russia (which under Putin has pushed back against the wholesale looting by the West in the wake of Gorbachev and Yeltsin. He's keeping the corruption local!) And especially consider how this is playing out in the Ukraine. For one aspect of this, read Nick Turse: \"A Red Scare in the Gray Zone.\" (And while you are at it, you might want to read his book about Vietnam and contrast it to the Burns documentary. A generally positive review. A generally negative review.)\n2) Corruption: Savoir Faire is Everywhere! And the Mueller investigation is Klondike Kat.\nAnd we need to keep in mind that Klondike Kat (Mueller/Comey, et al.) is the enforcement arm of the establishment. As has been true throughout history, there is good corruption and bad corruption--arbitrarily defined by the powers that be.\n3) Domestic politics: As both parties suffer from serious flaws and ongoing disaffection from larger portions of the populace, the rising \"danger\" of populism threatens to completely upend the plutocratic apple cart. And while President Trump is the \"Bully-in-Chief\" with all the negatives that entail, it isn't too hard to imagine that had Sanders won the presidency, he'd be getting similar treatment, from a different set of predicates, from the establishment.\nThat's enough for the moment. Maybe some more later. The key thing to do is to separate out the above points as distinct tendencies, then to see how they play within this fluid but ongoing project to de-legitimize the Trump administration. Perhaps with good reason, but also perhaps with impure motives for many within the political establishment.\nI was hoping you'd say the DNC was guilty of cheating Bernie, or that Donna Brasil was guilty of sending Hillary questions before the debate.\nThe Uranium One stuff has been disproven for a while\nSnoopes - https://www.snopes.com/hillary-clinton-uranium-russia-deal/\nPolitifact - http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2017/oct/24/what-you-need-know-about-hillary-clinton-and-urani/\nWell the screwing of Bernie and the Hillary cheating goes without saying...\nThe Uranium One has NOT been found untrue, because it has not been investigated thoroughly. Snopes has been outed as a DNC controlled lying machine and politifact does nothing except try to diffuse and water down truths and or lies. Look at that link you provided... \"seemed to say\" \"mostly false\" \"appear fishy\" \"couldn't verify\" .\nHow can you accept that sketchy write up as disproving anything?\nIt's the same with all the conservative Fox viewers... \"FOX said it isn't so, so it isn't\"...\nCome on man... the only thing that those bullshit articles are saying is that they don't BELIEVE that she was guilty of a quid pro quo deal, and they can't prove she wasn't. Look at the updates and pay attention to the puppet master, not the puppet. ALL politicians receive funding from shady foreigners, ALL of them. Why Clinton supporters deny this is beyond me, and only serves to make the so called \"educated liberals\" look moronic.\nTruth is, the stereotype of of the Trump supporters as uneducated rednecks on welfare with confederate flags hanging from their trailers is one of the reasons the DNC has went down in flames. The idiot liberals believe themselves superior, and can't possibly believe that their inferiors would beat them.\nBeat them they did... and then the even bigger hypocrisy begins. When Trump said he wouldn't honor the election if he lost, the hue and cry of TREASON emanated from the bowels of democrats/liberals everywhere.\nYet what have you heard since they lost?\n\"NOT MY PRESIDENT\"\n\"COLLUSION\"\n\"I WILL NOT ACCEPT HIM AS PRESIDENT\"\nFucking hypocrites... which allowed the asshats in GOP land to take over.\nThanks idiots, you contributed greatly to this fucktard being president with your high brow, self righteous, condescending, holier than thou fucked up attitudes.\nNow we have the \"other side of idiocy\" in charge of the House, Senate, Supreme Court... all the pussy grabbing, me first, good old boy network, supposedly christian, little boy fuckers running around happier than a pig in shit.\nSadly, all of the adjectives used describes BOTH parties if the truth be told. Wake up people, there really is no difference in the political parties.\nPower hungry megalomaniacs looking to get even more power, richer, and further removed from reality are running our lives... controlling the group mind-think with their controlled media, while the peasants fight among themselves over whether statues of Columbus should be torn down, whether little kids can wear whatever they want on Halloween without offending someone (the damn kids don't care), and especially go at each other over whose political figurehead sucks more.\nWe all lose, they all suck.",

        "raw_content": "Zedcos\nAbout Zedcos\nMalware Protection Prob with Free Trial\nZedcos posted a topic in Malwarebytes 3 Support Forum\nHi there! I've had an older Malwarebytes Free version for 2 years that has run fine, and recently did a scan and found a PUP, which is fairly weird since my computer is usually so clean. So I decided to finally upgrade to the new \"updated\" version is was always prompting me to do over time, & while I had my reservations, I ultimately did it anyway. Now four days into the Free trial, (vers. 3.5.1), it's all wonky. :( My nightmare. I restarted my computer recently, and there was a pop-up at the bottom notifying me that my real-time protection is off... So I go to dashboard and my Malware Protection is off, & no matter how I try to reach it to turn it back on, it won't turn on. Isn't that the most important feature in Malwarebytes first & foremost, & it isn't on? It's like the slider is dead, so I wanted to know if this is just a thing in the Trial Free Version? My computer also informed me MB didn't shut down properly so it enabled a Program Compatibility Assistance thing to it, which, again, I had never needed before nor have I ever seen this feature before from my computer. :/ And, even though I didn't press it, a scan started on it's own, and is still running no matter if I close MB or not, as soon as I pull it back up one is running. In dashboard to the right under \"System\" it says, \"Updates: Current.\" I don't know what's going on, but can someone please help me in turning on my Malware Protection please? I can't be without it. And I don't want to waste my free trial while it's not even fully protecting me to see what it's about. Also, when the Free Trial runs out, will I still be protected with Malware Protection? (And, on a side note, does anyone know how to go back to an old Free version of MB just in case?) My anxiety is through the roof here, and I'm not too much of a computer-tech-savvy person. :( I'm also running Windows 7. Thank you very much for the time & help. Really appreciate it.",

        "title": "Fragrant Bedstraw, Galium triflorum Michx.",
        "raw_content": "Fragrant Bedstraw (Sweet scented Bedstraw, Three-flower Bedstraw)\nGalium triflorum Michx.\nA characteristic of all Bedstraws is leaves in a whorl and small 3 or 4-parted flowers in branching clusters. Identification between many of the species is difficult and not obtained from a cursory view. The flowers are more often white but can be pale yellow.\nFragrant Bedstraw is a native perennial forb that has stems that are reclining to ascending, most frequently scrambling over other plants for support. Stems can reach to three feet in length, they are green, with some reddish tints, 4-angled and obviously ridged, with nodes that do not have hair but the other stems parts do.\nThe leaves are oblong-elliptical, mostly smooth, widest toward the tip and abruptly tapered to a thin pointed tip, and mostly in whorls of 6 and give off a vanilla odor when crushed - most noticeable with dry leaves. Leaf margins have stiff hair as does the midrib on the underside. There is a single main vein. The hair on the stems and leaves can stick to clothing but this species is not as sticky as Rough Bedstraw, G. asprellum or Cleavers, Galium aparine.\nThe inflorescence is composed of branching 3-flowered clusters of very small flowers, either terminal or rising from the leaf axils. Sometimes there may be only 1 or 2 flowers but 3 is typical.\nThe flowers within each cluster of 3 have very long divergent stalks. They have a white corolla, up to 1/8 inch wide with 4 spreading petals. The petals are ovate, tapering to a pointed tip. There are 4 stamens with yellowish anthers. These are placed alternately with the petals. The whitish style connects to a hairy 2-celled ovary. The calyx is vestigial, with the 2-celled ovary directly below the corolla.\nSeed: Fertile flowers produce a dry 2-celled seed capsule that has hooked bristles on the surface. Each cell has one seed.\nHabitat: Fragrant Bedstraw is found in rich woods and moist grounds in meadows and riparian edges. It prefers moist conditions and at least partial shade. It grows from a rhizomatous root system which allows it to spread forming colonies. It can also re-seed itself. Should you wish to plant it, (doubtful) root divisions will work best.\nNames: The genus name, Galium, is from the Greek word, gala, meaning 'milk' and is a reference to the use of come Galium species to curdle milk. The species name, triflorum, is from the Latin meaning '3-flowered' referring the clusters of 3. The author name for the plant classification, \u2018Michx.\u2019, refers to Andre Michaux (1746-1802), French botanist who made many exploring expeditions in the U.S. collecting and cataloging many species. Two important works of his are the Histoire des ch\u00eanes de l'Am\u00e9rique septentrionale (1801 - Oaks of North America), and the Flora Boreali-Americana (2 vols., 1803). His son Francois, traveled with him and the father\u2019s notes were later used for the 3-volume North American Sylva, for which Thomas Nuttall provided some supplements.\nComparisons: See bottom of the page.\nAbove: An inflorescence section of Fragrant Bedstraw. Drawing from Britton, N.L., and A. Brown. 1913. An illustrated flora of the northern United States, Canada and the British Possessions. 3 vols. Charles Scribner's Sons, New York.\nBelow: This species typically has 3 flowers in a forked cluster. The stiff hair that ends up on the seed capsule is already present on the ovary of the developing flowers. Note the stiff hair on the leaf edge.\nBelow: 1st photo - Detail of the hairy ovary below the corolla. 2nd photo - Characteristic leaf whorl of 6\nBelow: 1st photo - Stem branch nodes are usually without hair but the other parts of stems (2nd photo) have whitish hair on the angles.\nBelow: 1st photo - The underside of the leaf is a paler color with hair on the midrib. 2nd photo- Typical 3-flowered clusters with each flower corolla sitting atop a hairy 2-chambered ovary.\nAbove: Maturing 2-celled seed capsules. Below: When stems are sprawling, which is typical, you have an inter-twinging group of stems, branches and flower clusters.\nNotes: Eloise Butler had catalogued Fragrant Bedstraw in her plant index as present in the Garden area. Curiously, Martha Crone did not list it on her 1951 Garden Census, nor was it on the 1986 census, but was listed in 2009. It is native and distributed quite widely in Minnesota with the exception being the dryer counties of the SW quadrant. It is found in all the lower 48 states and all of Canada.",

        "raw_content": "Men\u2019s clothing, and magic, and psychometry\nPartner and I went recently to the Rhode Island School of Design Museum, to see a show about men\u2019s clothing.\nShows likes this \u2013 fabric, clothing \u2013 usually bore the hell out of me. But this one was amusing, and really memorable. They had one of Mark Twain\u2019s shirts. They had one of Andy Warhol\u2019s terrible shaggy white wigs. They had a dapper trim little tux that had belonged to Fred Astaire, and a very small dress suit belonging to Truman Capote circa 1970. They had a Harris Tweed suit that might or might not have belonged to one of the British royals in the early 20th century.\nI was amused and really gratified to see these things. These were garments worn by famous people, and \u2013\nWell, and what? Why does that make them special?\nNot long ago, a scientist on television showed how people impute mystical properties to things owned by famous people. He showed a group of people a fountain pen that he said had belonged to Albert Einstein, and asked if they wanted to see and hold it, and they all handled it reverently. Then he showed them a sweatshirt and told them it had belonged to Jeffrey Dahmer the serial killer, and asked them if they\u2019d like to handle it or try it on. No one wanted to touch it.\nHe lied in both cases. The pen didn\u2019t belong to Einstein, and the shirt didn\u2019t belong to Dahmer.\nBut I understand implicitly what those people felt. We feel instinctively that objects take on the properties and personalities of their possessors. There are even psychics who claim that they have the skill of psychometry: the ability to read the histories of objects and their owners.\nI own a Jean Cocteau lithograph \u2013 a portrait of Erik Satie \u2013 which was once owned by the Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich. I like to think that I can feel the personalities of all three when I look at it: Cocteau\u2019s imagination and drive, Satie\u2019s whimsy and purity, Shostakovich\u2019s dark humor and power.\nI probably can\u2019t feel any such thing.\nBut I like to think I can.\nFiled under Art, Long reads Tagged with clothing, dandies, fashion, magic, psychometry, risd\nLynda Barry, in person\nI wrote a while back about Lynda Barry, the illustrator / writer. Well, she came to the Rhode Island School of Design on January 14 \u2013 my friend Sylvia, who works there, was good enough to let me know \u2013 and I went to her presentation.\nKids, Lynda Barry is amazing.\nShe talked about \u201cimages.\u201d What\u2019s an image? It\u2019s the thing that children create when they play. It\u2019s an imaginary friend. It\u2019s a binkie. It\u2019s a stuffed animal that you can\u2019t live without. It\u2019s your first crush (come on, you can remember his / her name without even thinking, can\u2019t you?). It\u2019s your first telephone number, which you can still probably remember, and which gives you a little thrill of warmth when you remember it.\nLynda has been partnering with scientists at the University of Wisconsin about these questions. They have found that adults in a state of \u201ccreative concentration\u201d and children in a state of \u201cdeep play\u201d have similar fMRIs.\nShe is very funny, and much of her presentation was in anecdote form. Here\u2019s one of the core anecdotes:\nShe and her husband live in rural Wisconsin. Most of their friends are serious and humorless. But, if one brings a small child into the group, they begin to play with the child. They draw, and sing, and dance for the child. (\u201cI wish,\u201d Lynda said, \u201cI could remove the child. I just want to see the adults dancing and singing, sometimes.\u201d) If you ask them why they\u2019re so carefree with children, sometimes they say: \u201cChildren aren\u2019t judgmental.\u201d To which Lynda says: \u201cNope. Children are incredibly judgmental.\u201d\nThis is Lynda Barry\u2019s assessment of the situation (I paraphrase, because I can\u2019t quite remember her actual words): \u201cThe adults are speaking to the children in the language of play. It\u2019s the basic language. It\u2019s the language that comes before language.\u201d\nAnd then she recited a poem by Rabindranath Tagore, and then she told us a joke about balls.\nThis is what higher education is really all about.\nFiled under Literature, Long reads Tagged with creativity, lynda barry, risd",

        "raw_content": "The Future is upon us! Meet Alexa.\nI remember watching Star Trek back in the 60\u2019s and marveling at the ability of the Captain and crew to ask questions and get answers from a dis-embodied computer voice.\nWe now are beginning to have that ability thanks to the advances in voice recognition, voice synthesis, and Internet connectivity. It\u2019s not perfect, but it is evolving, and getting better all the time.\nIntelligent Personal Assistants, as they are called, have been around for a while. Here is a brief history:\n4/28/2010 \u2013 Siri was launched in the App Store. Sure, there were voice recognition programs before her, but this is the app that really started things for most people. You could ask a question or give a command and Siri would answer appropriately. On June 27, 2012, Google Now was unveiled as part of the premier demonstration of Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) at Google\u2019s I/O conference. More recently, in late March, 2014, Google started rolling out Google Now for Chrome users who are signed in to their Google account on computers. Microsoft\u2019s entry is Cortana, named after a synthetic intelligence character in the Halo video game for the X-Box and available since 2015 on Windows Phones 8.1 and now Phone 10. It is also incorporated into Windows 10 on computers.\nThese apps are all tied to another device, a phone or tablet or computer. Those devices have many other functions.\nThe Amazon Echo, aka Alexa, is different. It\u2019s a stand-alone device. It\u2019s hands-free and always on, connected to the Internet through your home WiFi. The Echo connects to Amazon\u2019s voice service on the Internet to answer questions, play music, read the news, weather, and sports\u2014all instantly. All you have to do is ask. It\u2019s hard not to think of it as a \u201cshe.\u201d\nWe got ours in April before it was available to the general public. It was offered to Prime members first, and I knew I had to have one. It is about the size of a Pringles can and is designed to sit unobtrusively somewhere in a room and listen for it\u2019s wake word, \u201cAlexa.\u201d With seven microphones, Alexa can hear you from across the room\u2014even while music is playing. It is a really fine sounding speaker, comparable to $200 \u201cdumb\u201d Bluetooth speakers. Our favorite thing for Alexa to do is to play music \u2013 it sounds GREAT, and you can ask her for exactly what you want to hear. You can even ask her to turn the volume up or down, and to stop or continue.\nNew capabilities are being added all the time. Already, there\u2019s streaming music from iHeart Radio, Pandora and Amazon Prime Music. Listen to audiobooks from Audible. I love getting my up-to-the-minute news and weather \u201cFlash Briefing\u201d from a variety of sources, including local radio stations, NPR, and ESPN Sports from TuneIn. You can connect your Google Calendar and get schedule updates. Are you a commuter? Get traffic reports before heading out to work. I haven\u2019t tried it yet, but you can control lights and all manner of connected devices around the house with WeMo, Philips Hue, SmartThings, Wink, and more. You can even re-order stuff from Amazon.com, hands-free, go figure!\nAlexa lives both locally and in \u201cthe cloud,\u201d so she is always learning. The more you use it, the more she adapts to your speech patterns, vocabulary, and personal preferences. Software updates are even delivered automatically.\nYou set it up with the free companion app for Android, iOS, Amazon Fire, and desktop browsers. You can remotely manage your alarms, music, shopping lists, and more. I really like the shopping list feature. Just tell Alexa to add something to the list, and it is on the app when I am in the store shopping.\nOur friend, Martin Brossman, has several social sites with lots of information about the Echo. LINK https://plus.google.com/communities/114136919787676357738\nIf you have an Echo, let us know.\np.s. Don\u2019t believe the hype that it\u2019s a sinister, potentially alien artificial intelligence that\u2019s bound to kill us all.\nPublished by MrGeek, in Blog. Tagged with #GeeksWhoTeach, Amazon, Amazon Echo, Android, Apps for Travelers, Ask Alexa, Droid, Intelligent Personal Assistants, iPad, iPhone, Smartphones, Technology for Travelers.\n\u2190 Taming Your Facebook News Feed September 2015 Newsletter: Facebook, My Maps, Podcasts, Amazon Alexa \u2192\n2 replies on \u201cThe Future is upon us! Meet Alexa.\u201d\nI have two Amazon Echos and love them, I got my first one early this year. I know it is a 1st generation products and but they are doing a good job taking feedback from customers and adding features that we asked for. Also thanks for mentioning the Amazon Echo Fan community called How do I use my Amazon Echo in your article. My goal is to keep growing the community as the leading discussion on how to use the Amazon Echo. You all have a great show!!\nI\u2019ve had the Echo since 2 weeks after its release of Nov. 6, 2014. I know the exact release date because I asked \u201cAlexa, how old are you?\u201d Best geek purchase I\u2019ve ever made!! She arrived on my birthday Nov 20th so I imagine I\u2019m one of the first purchasers.",

If you need help with your existing AWS services or if you need help getting started with AWS, our AWS consultants can help. AWS is a subsidiary of Amazon.com that launched in 2006 to provide cloud computed infrastructure to individuals, companies and governments, as a paid subscription. It was one of the first companies that used the model of pay-as-you-go cloud computing that was scalable as far as providing upgrades for additional storage, size and speed. AWS initially started using the internal infrastructure that their Amazon.com retail operations started on. The main benefit of cloud computing is that physical servers do not have to be purchased, they can be created and deployed almost instantly, and this produces results faster and at a lower cost due to Amazons huge amount of resources and users are only charged for usage. AWS provides a secure, highly reliable, scalable, infrastructure platform in the cloud that powers hundreds of thousands of businesses in 190 countries around the world. They have data centers spread across availability zones (AZs) in the U.S., Europe, Singapore, and Japan.

        "raw_content": "Acme vs acne\nAcme and acne are two words that are close in spelling and pronunciation, but have different meanings. We will examine the definitions of acme and acne, where these two words came from and some examples of their use in sentences.\nAcme is the point of greatest achievement, the height of excellence, the peak of development. The word acme is often used as a name in businesses and in fictional businesses. The Acme Corporation was famously the fictional business that supplied Wile E. Coyote with products in the Road Runner Warner Brothers cartoons. The word acme was derived from the Greek word akm\u0113, which means the highest point.\nAcne is a skin condition that consists of inflamed sebaceous glands, resulting in red bumps and pimples. Acne is particularly common among adolescents, but may occur at any age. If untreated, severe cases of acne may leave lifelong scars. Acne is a mass noun, which is an uncountable noun that does not have a plural form. The word acne is derived from the Latin aknas, a meaning peak or facial eruption. Aknas is actually a corruption of the Greek word akm\u0113, from which the word acme is derived.\nThe spectacle of the Super Bowl and NFL and college football is the acme of ideology, for in its full flower it exposes and manifests the essence of all ideological systems. (The Mason City Globe Gazette)\nAnd this is as opportune a time as any to salute Bhansali\u2019s cinematographer Sudeep Chatterjee who is a magician, visionary par excellence who can put on screen images that poets and painters put into their creations when at the acme of inspiration. (The Khaleej Times)\nAnyone who\u2019s ever had a skin issue knows that it\u2019s more than skin deep \u2014 serious skin conditions and acne alike can have both mental and emotional effects.

        "raw_content": "General Counsel Implements Paperless Forms\nNotre Dame\u2019s Office of General Counsel has taken strides towards sustainability by switching from paper to electronic Conflict of Interest forms. The Conflict of Interest forms are reviewed by the Office of General Council to help the University identify potential conflicts employees have with the University\u2019s mission that would \u201cconstitute a Conflict of Interest in the execution of their duties.\u201d\nIn the past, all 5,000+ full-time faculty and staff have been required to fill out paper Conflict of Interest forms. This year, a new electronic system using the OnBase software will mean paper, ink and toner savings. Mia Reini at the Office of General Counsel said the office \u201cdecided to go paperless to streamline efforts in the routing of the processing of the forms and because electronic forms save file space in offices all across the campus.\u201d\nThe Office of General Counsel is not the first university office to realize significant environmental and economic benefits by going paperless. Last summer, the Admissions Office implemented its own OnBase software program, which allowed the office to do away with paper filing. Though the applicant pool was bigger than ever, workloads were made more manageable and efficiency increased. Prior to the summer of 2010, folders for each student applicant were made, which contained a copy of the application, and were then filed. Now, however, online applications are saved and any paper forms that the school receives are scanned into the computer.\nThe biggest challenge for General Counsel in initiating a new system, Reini says, is \u201cmaking sure we have a good handle on routing the forms to the right reviewer.\u201d However, the staff in General Counsel feel that the benefits are well worth any challenges. When asked if employees are excited about the new electronic OnBase system Reini\u2019s response was, \"Definitely! Everyone can see the benefits of it\u2014both for ease of access and for sharing of information.\u201d",

Within this guide, you\u2019re going to find tips for doing just that.\nFirst and foremost, you need to understand that you are what you need.

With this in mind, you really need to take steps to assemble a healthy and low-calorie diet. Sticking with a low-calorie diet is really one of the best ways to lose weight and slim down your waist line. Remember to avoid potato chips and chocolate candies. Instead, you should be eating a lot more fruits and vegetables.\nWhile you\u2019re at it, you\u2019ll want to make sure that you begin exercising more frequently. Failing to do so pretty much guarantees that you\u2019re never going to be able to lose weight. You won\u2019t have to exercise too often. Your workouts don\u2019t have to be too tough or too long. Just take your time and build up your resistance. By working out more frequently, you\u2019ll eventually be able to increase the intensity of your workouts and boost the number of calories that you burn each and every single time. By exercising more frequently, you\u2019ll greatly increase the likelihood that you\u2019re going to be able to achieve your ideal body in the near future.\nSeeking Motivation\nIt is absolutely pertinent to do everything possible to ensure that you\u2019re able to lose weight and remain in shape.

Either way, you\u2019re going to need to keep yourself motivated to continue plowing forward and achieving the ultimate success.\nFinally, you should set goals for your weight loss.

        "raw_content": "How to Play The House of the Rising Sun \u2013 The Animals\nBookmark this Lesson. \"The House of the Rising Sun\" is traditional folk ballad that was made incredibly popular with the 1964 version of it recorded by The Animals.\nAfter it's release it quickly shot to the top of the charts in countries all over the world, including going number one in the United Kingdom, the United States, Sweden, Finland, and Canada.\nThe first thing you will want to practice when learning how to play The House of the Rising Sun is the arpeggiated picking style that is used on all the chords throughout most of the song.\nThis arpeggiated picking style requires some decent picking control since you have to control the speed of the strum to make it sound like the pick is sort of raking across the strings one by one.\nI suggest practicing this picking technique on just one chord (A minor), and then adding all of the other chords after you can effortlessly control the picking.\nI think it is easier to think of \"The House of the Rising Sun\" as consisting of two different parts except for the very end. One is the chord progression used while the vocals are being sung, and the other being the chords that are played in the short instrumental sections between those vocal parts.\nI break the lesson up into those two section so it should be pretty easy to follow and memorize the chords quickly.\nAs the song builds, and especially during the solo section, you will be playing the same chord progression except this time with a full strumming pattern.\nTo close everything down at the end of the song, we get to a simple repetitive A minor to D minor progression.\nAll-in-all I think \"The House of the Rising Sun\" is a great tune for a beginning guitarist to learn or any level of guitarist who simply wants to learn a cool tune. \ud83d\ude42\nHow to Play The House of the Rising Sun\nFrank Hanner on January 5, 2015 at 11:11 pm\nGreg Lowe on February 16, 2015 at 1:43 pm\nGreat version, I am picking it up quickly. Is the the best place to request a song? I am looking for the song \u201cWhen I fall\u201d by the Bare Naked Ladies. Preferably how to play this with Arpeggiated picking. Thanks.\nHey Greg, this place is fine to make a request. I checked out \u201cWhen I Fall\u201d and think it would be a great song to teach. My only issue would be that it isn\u2019t very well known and it might be a lot of work to do a song that not many people are familiar with even if it is great. \ud83d\ude41\nAny other songs you are interested in learning?\nI am a beginner of two weeks. I have been working mostly on House of the rising sun and Nutshell both acoustic. This is because the songs are good for a beginner, I can sing along, and songs I like keep me motivated to continually practice. I could make you a list of about 20 songs I have come up with so far that I want to start with. Let me get back to you on a choice I want to really work on before you put in the time and effort.\nHere is a short list of some of the songs I am considering. (I haven\u2019t verified them against your current list yet.) 1. Where is my mind (pixies), 2. Creep (Radiohead), 3. Wild Horses (Stones), 4. Wagon Wheel (Old Crow), 5. A day in the life (Beatles), 6. Good ol Boys (Dukes of Hazzard), 7. If you could read my mind (Lightfoot), 8. Patience (GNR). That gives you a pretty good idea. Not sure on the difficulty level on them. Thanks. Ill let you know if I think of something specific.\nDiesel Trowbridge on July 2, 2015 at 6:35 pm\nCarl, I got a great song request called The Lion Sleeps Tonight by The Tokens.",

In order to turn the pumpkin into a \u2018time bomb\u2019, 50 rubber bands were placed around the pumpkin, prior to the period. Before any more rubber bands could be placed on the pumpkin, the students were given a data set. This data set showed the different items used by the previous schools doing the same project.

The students were then asked to pick out what they think the most important factor out of those to consider when guessing how many rubber bands it would take to break it.\nLooking at the data from previous schools that did this project, the students isolated the factor they chose and the number of rubber bands their pumpkins took to break. They would select those set of data and take them into a website called desmos. In desmos, the pieces of data were used to create a scatter plot. A scatter plot is a diagram used to represent different points of data, much like a box plot. Students then made their own point, guessing how many rubber bands it would take to break their pumpkin. Time for the fun part! The students then took the pumpkin outside and got to it. One by one, students placed ru\nbber bands over the middle of the pumpkin.\nOn the 113th rubber band, the pumpkin popped.\nNow it wasn\u2019t the giant, obnoxious explosion all the students had hoped for. On the contrary, the part of the pumpkin above the rubber bands just popped off and fell the side.Although this may sound like nothing, it still took all the students by surprise. The was no build up just a pop! In the end, the students compared their estimates to the actual result and found who was the closest.",

        "raw_content": "SHWEDAGON PAGODA, RANGOON, BURMA aka JANGON, MYANMAR\nI got back to Jangon from Bagan around noon the next day, and had several hours before Insignia sailed. So I decided to make a quick trip into the city to see the famous and beautiful Shwedagon Pagoda, since we had missed the day before because of our late arrival. I was not disappointed.\nI got a cab and a very nice driver who had limited English. He was supposed to drop me off at the east gate and then pick me up again two hours later. He decided to park the car and stay with me. I think he thought he might not ever see me again and I was very happy that he made this decision. The Pagoda covers a huge area. Very nice gentleman and he was able to describe a lot of what I was looking at in this world of gold and white. It was hot and humid, sweat dripped off the ends of my hair and you had to have your shoulders and knees covered. It was not easy to walk in your barefeet. Even though the ground was tiled in white \u2013 it burned the soles of your feet.\nThe stupa is covered with hundreds of gold plates. The top, at 110 meters high, is encrusted with over 5000 diamonds & 2000 rubies and it is topped with a 75 carat diamond. It enshrines 8 stands of Buddha\u2019s hair and other holy relics. It is over 2500 years old. It also makes one wonder. There are a lot of very poor people in this country.\nShwedagon consists of hundres of colourful temples, stupas and statues created over 2500 years ago.\nPouring water on the little Buddhas on the shrine for my \u2018birth\u2019 day. This is for health and happiness and you can make a wish.\nIt is the most sacred and important Buddhist pagoda in Myanmar.\nPrevious: Previous post: BAGAN, MYANMAR/BURMA\nNext: Next post: SEA DAYS",

Rai paints a portrait not just of a holy city but of an entire civilization, depicting its unique way of life, and showing us worlds within worlds. In photograph after photograph, the secular and the profane coexist; the old can hardly be told from the new. Everything is experienced at once \u2013 the ghats, the streets, the faith, the temples, the river, the celebrations, man and beast, the burning bodies, all jostling for space in the same frame. These photographs demonstrate unforgettably how all of India is in Varanasi, inspiring and appalling, ancient and up-to-date. A collector\u2019s edition.\nRaghu Rai\u2019s interest in music began as a child, when he wanted to be a musician. That was not to be, but his interest in classical music deepened in the mid-1960s, when he became a photojournalist. However, it was only in the mid-1980s, as photo editor of India Today magazine, that he started a systematic exploration of classical music-an obsession that continues to this day. A trailblazer, Rai has covered many social, political and cultural themes, and his photo essays have appeared in the world\u2019s leading magazines and newspapers, including Time, Life, National Geographic and the New York Times .Along the way, Rai has authored over twenty books, including The Sikhs, Calcutta, Taj Mahal, I/ndia and Mother Teresa-Faith and Compassion, and his work has been exhibited in many major cities of the world.

The Republican National Convention was held in Cleveland, Ohio, with Donald Trump being nominated for president. The Democratic National Convention was held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with Hillary Clinton being nominated for president.\nThe striking thing about both conventions and both candidates is the prominence of their families in the convention process. Both candidates had their wives and children speak. Ivanka Trump introduced her father, Donald Trump, for his convention speech. Chelsea Clinton introduced her mother, Hillary Clinton, for her convention speech.\nNATIONAL FAMILY LAW POLICY\nTheir is unity between the parties and candidates on the importance of families. Both candidates supported LGBT rights in their remarks at the convention. Family law policy was not addressed as a significant issue by either candidate, but both candidates emphasized the importance of family.\nSTATE FAMILY LAW POLICY\nThe individual states have the power to choose between no-fault divorce policy or conventional divorce.

        "raw_content": "Years ago I heard the statement, \u201cDischarge is the capital punishment of organizational life.\u201d What nonsense! If our metaphor for termination is capital punishment, no wonder organizations and their managers are so hesitant to fire a poor performer.\nThe appropriate metaphor? A no-fault divorce. As painful as divorce may be at the time, it allows two people to correct a mistake and move on to a more satisfying future. Handled well, termination works the same way. Here\u2019s how to do it right.\nStart by creating a transition plan. Choose the day and the time for the termi\u00adnation deliberately. While experts disagree on when a firing should occur, all acknowledge the importance of having a rationale \u2014 a good business reason for your choice of time and day for dropping the ax. Doing it early in the day, early in the week, encourages the employee to get right to work on finding another job and reduces the chances that he\u2019ll spend the weekend moping in a black hole or \u2014 worse \u2014 plotting revenge. Friday after\u00adnoons, on the other hand, often create the minimum amount of disruption to the rest of the staff.\nWhatever your decision, put company interests first. For months you\u2019ve probably put up with less-than-stellar performance in hopes that the situation would somehow correct itself. Now that the end is at hand, plan the transition so as to do the least damage to company and coworkers.\nCheck the succession plan for an internal candidate. You may want to start recruiting and wait to terminate until you\u2019ve got a replace\u00adment ready to go. It may be in your best interests to send some subtle signals to clients and customers that there will be a staffing change soon.\nRun it by a jury first. To make sure that you\u2019re on solid ground in terminating an employee, imagine yourself defending your action in front of a jury. Assume that you are on the witness stand and the employee\u2019s lawyer is attempting to prove that the firing was unjust, unfair, and vindictive.\nLook for anything that could be twisted to suggest that the real reason for the termination is not the individual\u2019s performance but rather a pretext or personal grudge. Isn\u2019t that the real reason why you fired poor Smedley on his birthday, on the day before his tenth anniversary with the company, on the day before his pension vested, on the day his wife went into the hospital, on the day his mom died?\nTake it step by step. Bungled terminations usually result from acting without thinking. Before you utter a word, write down the most important things you plan to say and then stick to your script. Recognize what you\u2019re up to. This is not a counseling session. It\u2019s the announce\u00adment that an irrevocable decision has been made to discharge the individual. Therefore:\n1. Get right to the point. Skip the small talk. Start the termination meeting by saying, \u201cHello, John, sit down. I\u2019ve got some bad news for you.\u201d By announcing right from the start that there\u2019s bad news ahead, you will rivet the individual\u2019s attention on what\u2019s coming next.\n2. Break the bad news. State the reason for the termination in one or two short sentences and then tell the person directly that he or she has been terminated. Use the past tense. Say, \u201cYour employment has been terminated,\u201d not, \u201cwill be terminated.\u201d For example: \u201cAs you know, Marie, we\u2019ve talked several times about quality problems in your unit. Last month\u2019s report indicated that your department still has the lowest quality index. We have decided that a change must be made, and as of today your employment has been terminated.\u201d\nWhen you\u2019re telling someone they\u2019re fired:\nDon\u2019t say, \u201cI understand how you feel.\u201d You don\u2019t.\nDon\u2019t say, \u201cI know that this hurts right now but later on you\u2019ll realize that this is the best thing that could have happened.\u201d It isn\u2019t. It is a very bad thing.\nAvoid justifications (\u201cYou should have known\u201d).\nKeep a box of Kleenex available.\nSurvival is a strong instinct \u2014 give it time to work.\nRemember the Golden Rule.\n3. Listen to what the employee has to say. There are several predictable reactions to the news that one has just lost his job. The most common are shock, denial, anger and grief. Listening to what the employee says will tell you which of the reactions he is experiencing. Your response will be more effective if you know how he is taking the news.\n4. Cover everything essential. Be specific about what will happen next: pay, benefits, unused vacation time, references, outplacement, explanations to coworkers, ongoing projects, etc. This is one time when you can\u2019t say, \u201cI\u2019ll get back to you on that.\u201d\n5. Wrap it up graciously. It\u2019s usually best to schedule the termination meeting at the end of a work day so that the meeting takes place while coworkers are leaving. Close by thanking the individual for her contributions to the company. Walk with the now ex-employee back to her desk and wait while she collects any personal items. Go to the exit together, shake hands, wish her well, and part with both of your dignities intact.\nAvoid misdirected compassion. Most managers I know are empathetic and considerate people. But when the need arises to terminate a subordinate their compassion is often misdirected. They become so concerned about the adverse impact on the employee to be discharged that they forget about all the people who manage to do their jobs and meet our expectations in spite of having as many personal problems and difficulties as the terminatee has.\nActually, when slackers and slouches are finally fired, managers usually discover that coworkers are relieved. Their peers are the ones who have had to work harder to make up for their shortcomings and slacking off. When terminations are well justified and professionally executed, the rest of the work group realizes that this is a good place to work.\nBut when obvious losers and occupational ne\u2019er-do-wells are allowed to continue in their positions unchallenged, the message to the talented and energetic is that this is a place to avoid. Those who can find other jobs leave; the ones who stay are those who prefer an employer with low standards.\nA final note: The most common problem with terminations is that they don\u2019t happen as fast as they should. Once the decision has been made to pull the plug and start over, don\u2019t dilly-dally in the misguided hope that \u2014 somehow \u2014 things may still work out. They never do. Remember: It\u2019s not the people you fire who make your life miserable. It\u2019s the ones you don\u2019t.\nDon\u2019t Be a Hypocrite About Failure\nin Leading a Team by Justin Brady; 4 mins read",

She one day decides to investigate his disappearance and travels to his last-known location, which is a tomb on an island located somewhere off the coast of Japan. Here\u2019s what Vikander told the site:\n\u201cWhen I was asked to take on this role I got really excited\u2014Lara Croft is a truly iconic character. I think people can identify with her for lots of different reasons, but for me I very much see her as a model for many young women. She\u2019s trying to carve out her place in the world and connect her future with her past. She also has a fantastic mix of traits\u2014tough, smart, vulnerable, plus she\u2019s kick ass! She is also uniquely different to other characters I have taken on previously. It\u2019s a lot of fun trying to get into Lara\u2019s head and the challenge of getting to grips with such a physical role is an element of this project that I find an absolute thrill.\u201d\nDirected by Roar Uthaug, with a cast that also includes Walton Goggins as the main antagonist and Daniel Wu as a ship captain who teams up with Vikander\u2019s Lara Croft, Tomb Raider is set to open in theaters on March 16, 2018.

        "raw_content": "The Political Terror Scale (PTS) project was started by Michael Stohl and several graduate students at Purdue University in the early 1980s, essentially as a way of empirically testing whether U.S. foreign aid was being sent to countries that violated international human rights standards, thereby being in violation of federal law. The five level coding scheme employed by the PTS was taken directly from the 1980 Freedom House Yearbook and it has been used ever since. With this U.S. foreign aid focus, the PTS originally only coded 59 countries. However, in 1984 Mark Gibney began directing the project and he has remained in this capacity ever since. The most noteworthy change is the expansion of the PTS to the entire world, and as new states are created the PTS has grown accordingly. However, what is also remarkable is how the PTS has expanded from its original use involving U.S. foreign aid (Stohl et al.) and refugee protection (Gibney) to now include a dizzying array of political phenomena, as reflected in the Bibliography.",

J. Stable. \u201cHopefully it turns out well.\u201d\nJohn Servis-trained Jaywalk is working toward a season debut on March 2, in Gulfstream Park\u2019s Davona Dale (G2) at seven furlongs.\n\u201cIf everything goes well there, we\u2019re going to go to the Ashland,\u201d Zacney said, \u201cand then hopefully we\u2019re in the Oaks on the first Friday in May.\u201d\nCash is King and Servis followed the same race pattern in 2016 with Cathryn Sophia, who won the Davona Dale, ran third in the Ashland (G1) at Keeneland and rebounded with a victory in the Kentucky Oaks.\nThe ownership group rose to prominence in 2005 when it campaigned the dual classic winner Afleet Alex. Since then, its graded stakes winners are 2010 Withers Stakes (G3) hero Afleet Again, Cathryn Sophia, the Remsen (G2) winner Maximus Mischief and Jaywalk.\nPurchased for $190,000 as a yearling, Jaywalk has won four straight races since defeated in her debut, including the Frizette (G1) at Belmont Park and Breeders\u2019 Cup Juvenile Fillies under the Twin Spires.\nDespite the resume, Zacney said he was \u201cnervous as hell\u201d at last week\u2019s Eclipse Awards. Newspaperofrecord, the dominant Breeders\u2019 Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf winner, presented a challenge for the championship.\n\u201cShe is a really nice filly, but to be honest, I thought we had the credentials,\u201d Zacney said. \u201cWe had the Grade 1s. We had the earnings at different tracks and distances. So I think it made sense for us to get it, but sometimes you just never know.\u201d\nThe vote didn\u2019t end up close. Jaywalk received 214 of a possible 249 first-place votes.\nNow the focus returns to racing.\n\u201cShe acts the same and looks the same,\u201d Servis said after Jaywalk returned to the work tab on Jan. 11. \u201cShe maybe got a little bit taller but, other than that, she hasn\u2019t changed much at all, to be honest with you. She put on a little bit of weight, which is good.\u201d\nBased at the Palm Meadows Training Center, Jaywalk, a gray or roan filly, has seen her third breeze of the year delayed due to weekend rains that turned the dirt sloppy and grass soft on Pegasus World Cup day.\nJaywalk drilled five furlongs Tuesday in 1:00.80, fourth of 34 workers at the distance.\n\u201cWe still have plenty of time getting to the March 2 race,\u201d Zacney said. \u201cJohn\u2019s thrilled. She put on a little weight, and we\u2019re looking forward to a really terrific 3-year-old campaign.\u201d\n\u2190 2019 Kentucky Derby Top 50: War of Will the big mover \u2013 Horse Racing Nation\nOld Smoke Clothing Co.

It featured the Native American character Akwas in realistic historical adventures set before Christopher Columbus' voyage to the Americas.\nThe best format is the half page; the strip is also found in a third of a page and tabloid formats, which drop one or more panels.\nThere were four stories: Cricket Kidnapped, The Dream Fast, Mission to the Huron, and Jessakid. Toward the end of the strip, as it appeared in fewer and fewer newspapers, Mike Roy attempted to revive interest by giving Akwas superpowers. The strip ended shortly after this.\nNone of the stories have been reprinted, but one Akwas strip can be seen on the cover of Comics Revue #266.\nArcade (comics magazine)\nArcade: The Comics Revue is a magazine-sized comics anthology created and edited by cartoonists Art Spiegelman and Bill Griffith to showcase underground comix. Published quarterly by the Print Mint, it ran for seven issues between 1975 and 1976. Arriving late in the underground era, Arcade \"was conceived as a 'comics magazine for adults' that would showcase the 'best of the old and the best of the new comics.'\" Many observers credit it with paving the way for the Spiegelman-edited anthology Raw, the flagship publication of the 1980s alternative comics movement.\nBarnaby (comics)\nBarnaby was a comic strip which began 20 April 1942 in the newspaper PM and was later syndicated in 64 American newspapers (for a combined circulation of more than 5,500,000).\nCreated by Crockett Johnson, who is best known today for his children's book Harold and the Purple Crayon, the strip featured a cherubic-looking five-year-old and his far-from-cherubic fairy godfather, Jackeen J. O'Malley, a short, cigar-smoking man with four tiny wings. With a distinctive appearance because of its use of typography, the strip had numerous reprints and was adapted into a 1940s stage production. The usually caustic Dorothy Parker had nothing but praise: \"I think, and I'm trying to talk calmly, that Barnaby and his friends and oppressors are the most important additions to American Arts and Letters in Lord knows how many years.\"\nCasey Ruggles is a Western comic strip written and drawn by Warren Tufts that ran from 1949 to 1954.\nDanny Frolich\nDanny Frolich (a/k/a Dany Frolich) is an American artist from New Orleans.

His art appeared in fanzines and journals such as Orcrist.\nDon Markstein's Toonopedia (subtitled A Vast Repository of Toonological Knowledge) is a web encyclopedia of print cartoons, comic strips and animation, initiated February 13, 2001. Donald D. Markstein, the sole writer and editor of Toonopedia, termed it \"the world's first hypertext encyclopedia of toons\" and stated, \"The basic idea is to cover the entire spectrum of American cartoonery.\"\nMarkstein began the project during 1999 with several earlier titles: he changed Don's Cartoon Encyberpedia (1999) to Don Markstein's Cartoonopedia (2000) after learning the word \"Encyberpedia\" had been trademarked. During 2001, he settled on his final title, noting, \"Decided (after thinking about it for several weeks) to change the name of the site to Don Markstein's Toonopedia, rather than Cartoonopedia. Better rhythm in the name, plus 'toon' is probably a more apt word, in modern parlance, than 'cartoon', for what I'm doing.\nFor the sheriff of Midland County, Texas, see Gary Painter.Gary Panter (born December 1, 1950) is a cartoonist, illustrator, painter, designer and part-time musician.

It snatched this licence from TVE, who had held the rights to the national team's matches for years. In 2008, together with satellite platform Digital+, owned by the same company, Cuatro secured the rights to broadcast the UEFA Euro 2008 championship,[2] scoring the highest ratings in the history of Spanish television (since 1992).[3] The two broadcasters also achieved rights for 2010 FIFA World Cup.\nCuatro mobile unit in Paris.\nOn 18 December 2009, Mediaset, controlling shareholder of Gestevision Telecinco and Promotora de Informaciones, S.A, proprietor of Sogecable, presented an agreement to merge their television channels (Telecinco and Cuatro). After the merger, Cuatro and its broadcasting license Sogecable separated, and the company - Sogecuatro - was purchased in full by Gestevision Telecinco. Along with this act, PRISA bought newly issued shares of Gestevision Telecinco, 18% of the equity of this company.

        "raw_content": "Home / Simons Simplex Community / SSC@IAN Blog / Autism and Faith\nJulia is calm and matter-of-fact whenever she talks about the challenges of raising a son with autism. But when she spoke of her experience taking her son to church, she cried. It wasn't her young son's behaviors that saddened her. She knew he had trouble being quiet or still; she would simply take him outside and listen to the religious service by cracking open a door. What upset her was the time a parishioner deliberately shut that door on her, so others would not have to hear her little boy. This church had been her spiritual home for years. She expected her son to be welcome, a tenet of her faith. But they were, quite literally, outsiders.\nSo, like many other families, they changed congregations. At the next church she joined, she kept \"Tim\" inside with her during the service. Afterward, some parishioners approached her. She steeled herself for the complaints about Tim's autistic behaviors that she knew were coming her way.\nOnly she was wrong. These parishioners hugged her and told her she was doing a great job. They greeted her son. She had found a new home.\nOur article, Autism and Faith, explores the experiences of parents like Julia (not her real name) in their communities of faith. The idea for the article came from Silvia Verga, a member of the Simons Simplex Collection autism research project. Mrs. Verga works to promote awareness and inclusion of children with autism in religious communities in New York and beyond. And some researchers studying the lives of families affected by autism are looking at their experiences at their places of worship, as one measure of overall \"quality of life.\"\nMany parents expect their children to be included in all aspects of their communities, the way they are supposed to be included at school under U.S. education policy. Sometimes they find inclusion and support in their places of worship, and sometimes, to their disappointment, they don't.\nResearcher Melinda Jones Ault said that faith communities may be among the last areas of American society to adopt full inclusion of people with disabilities. People with developmental disabilities are no longer expected live or attend school apart from nondisabled people, the way they were 50 years ago, she said. But \"quite a bit of segregation still happens in faith communities.\"\nAlthough theologians have studied the issue for some time, she said, there is less research by special educators on inclusion at places of worship. \"That makes sense because we're worried about the separation of church and state,\" said Dr. Ault, a professor of special education. But special educators are tasked with helping students lead full, independent lives beyond school, she said. \"There are many things we have learned about how you include children in school. We can apply those same kinds of concepts to faith communities, to make inclusion happen.\"\nIf participating in a faith community is important to you, what has been the experience of your family?",

        "raw_content": "I am extremely fortunate to be afforded the opportunity to share my knowledge and passion all over the world. This year, the number of countries I have worked in over the last 6 years will hit the 40 mark. However, whilst I will never take for granted how lucky I am being able to travel around the globe, it is not quite as glamorous as you might think. Those who have never travelled extensively for the purposes of work, typically envisage business class flights, champagne in cut crystal glasses, door to door luxury chauffeur driven transport and top-class hotels with Michelin star restaurants. The reality is a rather long way from this perception.\nI am not asking you to feel sorry for me \u2013 this is not a case of the proverbial violin being raised to my shoulder. I have flown business class, drunk from cut crystal champagne glasses, been chauffeur driven in fancy cars, to top class hotels where I have eaten amazing Michelin star food\u2026\u2026 yet not very often! Most of my life is spent on buses, taxis and trains, travelling to chaotic, disorganised airports, being herded along with my fellow passengers like cattle to my economy class seat!! Even if I am lucky enough to stay in a nice hotel, most of the time I sleep in low cost hostelries and eat meals that cover all the essential food groups in a particularly unmemorable way.\nTravelling is an exceptionally effective way of exposing ourselves to the realities of the customer experience. As we quite literally commence our customer journey, we interact with many different people and organisations through a variety of different channels. Even if you only travel for pleasure, rather than business, it is very easy to empathise with the good, the bad and the ugly, that customers face, endure and sometimes enjoy, on a day to day basis.\nThe \u2018travel\u2019 customer journey, in principle, is easy to visualise (for air travel):\nWhat is interesting about a journey like this, is that often, although not always, the organisation whose products and services we choose to use, covers the entire \u2018end to end\u2019 experience. In other words, it is quite feasible that every stage of the example journey above, could be delivered to you by one company.\nI have had the opportunity of flying business class with Emirates (as an example). I planned, booked and executed the entire end to end journey with them. After booking, they quite literally picked me up at home and deposited me at my final destination (eventually\u2026.. but that is another story). As far as I was concerned, I paid Emirates to deliver every single stage of the journey.\n\u2018So what!?\u2019, I hear you say, think, mumble! The reason why I am rambling on about the subject, is that this end to end journey, whilst essentially an experience created through the relationship between 1 customer (me) and 1 company (Emirates), the experience is delivered to 1 customer (me), via MANY different companies (Emirates AND all other stakeholders required at each stage of the journey). As a result, the customer journey is actually delivered to me via a CHAIN of events. Every individual employee \u2013 whether they be employed directly by Emirates or one of their partners \u2013 is actually a LINK in the CHAIN that brings my entire experience to life.\nI could not care less who the company is that Emirates choose to use to drive me to the airport \u2013 every individual at every stage in my journey is a LINK in a CHAIN that connects one part of the experience to the next. That is why it is critical that in this example \u2013 and ANY customer journey for that matter\u2013 that organisations understand how every link in their chain is INTERCONNECTED.\nThe reality of the travel journey, is that at almost every step of the way, different people from different \u2018partners\u2019 are the LINK \u2013 however, too often, they do not appear to be a link connecting one chain together \u2013 they appear to operate as completely isolated links of a chain that has been broken into many different pieces.\nIf any organisation aspires to deliver a consistently seamless experience that meets the needs and expectations of customers, it must develop, adopt and embed an understanding of the INTERCONNECTED CUSTOMER JOURNEY. Every single employee in the chain \u2013 irrelevant of who pays their salary, MUST understand the role they play in delivering the customer journey. It only takes one link in the chain to not understand their role for the entire experience to break down. Sadly, this is what happens on far too many occasions.\nSo, ask yourself this question \u2013 \u2018Do all employees who deliver your end to end customer journey understand the role they play in delivering it?\u2019. Not just their part, but the role they play in connecting the entire end to end journey together. Where 3rd party partners are involved, saying that you have no control over the behaviour of their employees must not be used as an excuse.\nIf you even have the slightest inkling that the answer to this question may be negative, it is essential that action is taken to address it. You should consider doing the following:\nMake it clear to every employee, partner and supplier who impacts the end to end journey, what your \u2018desired customer experience\u2019 actually is (how you want your customers to feel throughout the journey).\nEnsure that everyone understands what the journey looks like and where they fit into the chain \u2013 at the beginning, middle, end, or throughout the whole thing.\nEncourage all employees to describe for themselves the things they can and should be doing in the stages of the journey they impact, to deliver the \u2018desired customer experience\u2019.\nMeasure, manage and reward all employees, partners and suppliers on BOTH the tasks they have been asked to perform AND their ability to deliver the desired customer experience.\nConstantly and continuously use the language of the customer journey AND ensure that there is regular communication to bring to life how all links in the chain are working together to make the delivery of the desired customer experience a reality.\nOrganisational silos are a key contributing factor that prevents organisations across all industries, delivering the seamless experience they want their customers to have. By establishing embedding an understanding of the interconnected customer journey, you may stand a chance of turning a broken employee \u2013 customer chain, into one that links perfectly together!",

        "raw_content": "Columns @IndiaBioscience\nYIM 2015 live blog, Day 5: Highlights\nThe fifth and final day of the Young Investigator\u2019s Meeting at Gulmarg, Kashmir saw another series of lively talks by mid-career and senior biologists, discussing both their research and the life\u2019s journey that accompanied their intellectual explorations.\nR. Uma Shaanker (UAS, Bangalore) spoke of his career as a \u201crandom walk,\u201d beginning with an interest in evolutionary biology alongside his colleague K. N. Ganeshaiah that has taken him from sexual selection in plants to conservation genetics and drug discovery. His emphasis was on the simple explorations that can lead to path-breaking results, even in the absence of great resources. \u201cFor some of your best work, you don\u2019t need grants. When you start getting grants, you get distracted,\u201d he said. Work by Shaanker and Ganeshaiah in the 1980s on sibling rivalry among seeds and sexual advantages in plants that turned into a Nature paper began with examining a very common place fact: when you open an orange, the seeds do not show perfect symmetry. Some pockets that could hold a seed do not. They showed that seeds actively work to prevent each other\u2019s growth. Shaanker\u2019s current work on using theories from ecology and evolutionary biology to shorten paths to drug discovery arises from a similarly simple observation: take an orange, once again, and watch the patterns of fungal growth on its skin. Pay attention to the common place, and question what makes it so common.\nThe closing lecture of the day by Nobel Laureate Tim Hunt (London Research Institute, UK) likewise focused on the simple observations, some arising from mistakes or from sheer luck, which guide the most rewarding research. Hunt won the Nobel prize in 2001 along with two others for the discovery of cyclin, a protein that guides cell division. Reviewers rejected his work initially. \u201cBiologists actually quite like things to be complicated,\u201d Hunt said by way of explanation. They could not accept at first that mechanisms might be so simple. On working and studying at Cambridge from the 1960s to 1970s, a time when dizzying numbers of important advances in genetics and molecular biology were being made and you could run into Frances Crick and Seymour Brenner in the tea room, Hunt said that he was only aware of how incredible that milieu was in hindsight. \u201cWe didn\u2019t think of ourselves as genius scientists. We had interesting problems we described to each other, in this very nourishing environment.\u201d Hunt attributed many of his best discoveries to luck, but also to paying attention to lucky accidents. \u201cThe most lucky ones tend to be the very intelligent ones who work very hard,\u201d he said.\nGroup discussions before and after lunch focused on how to organize and find funding for science outreach programs, and how to develop a stimulating post-doctoral culture in India. L S Shashidhara (IISER Pune) discussed the funding available from the DST for outreach programs, for instance for science camps for teenagers and science popularization in rural areas. \u201cStudents are hungry in this country for interacting with scientists,\u201d he said. Shahid Jameel (Wellcome Trust/DBT) mentioned that the Wellcome Trust has money for scientists interested in conducting popular lectures or going to schools. Sreelaja Nair (TIFR Mumbai) spoke about two initiatives in Mumbai that engage with science popularization,Junoon and Chai and Why?.\nThe discussion on how to develop a more competitive post-doctoral culture focused on the problems that post-docs face in India which might drive people to seek postdocs abroad. Topics discussed included the fact that postdocs are sometimes treated like extended students in India rather than as colleagues, their salaries are not sufficient for taking care of families, Indian post-docs are given a lower preference for faculty hires than postdocs from abroad, and that one is not always given intellectual freedom as a postdoc in India. Other groups focused on the steps that could be taken now to increase visibility of postdocs and to build a network of postdocs across the country who could work together to address common issues.\nThe day also saw a brief visit from Governor of Jammu and Kashmir, Narinder Nath Vohra, who spoke about the potential for scientific research to expand agriculture and industry in the country. He also emphasized the need for environmentally sustainable development. \u201cThe time has come for us to think about not only a second green revolution, but an ever-green revolution, which is sustainable [and] ecologically compatible,\u201d he said.\nThe Young Investigator\u2019s Meeting closed with remarks from Ron Vale (UCSF), who summed up many of the conclusions from the previous days. He called on all of the young faculty and post-docs in the room to play an active role in the growth of science and research culture in India. \u201cYou have to make the [intellectually rich] environment that you want to live in,\u201d he said. \u201cIndia desperately needs builders. It needs leaders, and those leaders are the people in this room.\u201d\nStaff Writer, IndiaBioscience (March-August 2015)\nMore Posts by Anjali Vaidya\nAnjali Vaidya on Jan 28, 2016\nOn evolutionary biology, and a passion for science: Interview with Amitabh Joshi\nAnjali Vaidya on Nov 19, 2015\nAs climates change, montane habitats may radically shift\nAnjali Vaidya on Oct 10, 2015\nStudy catalogues priority issues in conservation\nHarini Barath & Anjali Vaidya on Jun 03, 2015",

        "title": "Dimasa: a little known language of India | language express",
        "raw_content": "Today, I am writing this post just to put on record for posterity the reference to my work on a little known language of India. I submitted my thesis entitled, \u2018A Contrastive analysis of English and Dimasa Phonology in a Generative Framework\u2019 to the University of Calcutta in 1983. Soon after the submission of the thesis, my guide, Dr. Suhas Chatterjee, the then Khaira Professor of Indian Linguistics of the University of Calcutta expired and I became an orphan and my thesis submitted to the Calcutta University for evaluation became nobody\u2019s business. After running from pillar to post for the evaluation of my thesis and the viva, I got my Ph.D degree in 1991. Those eight years of my life was a nightmare, full of agony and despair, and the inordinate delay of the great Calcutta University changed the course of my life. When I got my Ph.D. it was too late, it had no value for me for my career advancement. I was doomed.\nLooking back, I have no regret. I pity the University that ruined my life, but I feel pride in the fact that I did a pioneering work on a little known language of India. As the internet was not known in those days, google is not aware of my work. When I read a dissertation submitted to the University of Florida by a young Indian scholar who worked on the tonal features of this language but did not refer to my work lying in the cold storage of the library of Calcutta University, I felt amused.\nThe book, \u2018Indian Doctoral Dissertations in English Studies\u2019 by M S kushwaah and Kamal Nseem published by Atlantic Publishers, NewDelhi in 2000, however, mentions my work. But who cares? As a note on this book admits, \u201cIndian Research In English Studies Has A Long And Rich Tradition. But, Unfortunately, it Has Failed To Make Any Notable Impact On The Academic World. This Is Largely Due To The Fact That Most Of The Indian Doctoral Dissertations In English Studies Lie Buried In University Libraries.\u201d\nWell, no more of this personal narrative! Let\u2019s have a look at this little known language which gave me sustenance during my youthful days. My thesis on Dimasa is a response to my love for this language and is a testimony of my admiration for a vibrant community whom I loved, respected and adored during the period 1975 to 1983. I worked on this language for eight years\u2026 a little known work on a little known language!\nMy work was not just a conrastive analysis of the phonological patterns of two languages, the ultimate objective was English language pedagogy. How to teach English to the marginalized pupils of a tribal community whose mother tongue was in the spoken form till then. These pupils of a community of one lakh members spoke a language which was not used even at the primary level. Teachers who could not understand a single word of their language used to teach them English. The /p/ sound of their language, for example, is an aspirated sound word initially, just as it is the case with the English /p/ sound. The English teachers speaking Assamese or Bengali had no clue to the phonological patterns of the mother tongue of their pupils and taught them English as if their mother tongues were Assamese or Bengali. In these two languages, there is a phonemic distinction between /k/ and /kh/, but in English as well as in Dimasa, the distinction between /k/ and /kh/ is allophonic, not \u2018phonemic.\u2019 Teaching English to the \u2018doubly disadvantaged\u2019 tribal pupils at the cost of their own language!\nDimasa, a branch of the Sino-Tibetan family of languages, is spoken by the Dimasa people of Dima Hasao (North Cachar Hills), Cachar, Karbi Anglong and Nagaon districts of Assam, India. This language is one of the oldest languages spoken in the north-eastern part of India. The word Dimasa etymologically means \u201cSon of the big river\u201d (Di- Water, ma- suffix for great, sa-sons). According to the 2001 Census of India report, there are 110000 native speakers of this little known Indian language.\nAccording to the classification given in the Linguistic Survey of India, Dimasa belongs to the Boro sub-section of the Boro-Naga section under the Assam Burma group of the Tibeto-Burman branch of the Sino-Tibetan speech family. To quote from \u2018The Linguistic Survey of India: \u201cWhat is called the hill dialect of Kachari is spoken in the North Kachar Hills and in a small tract in the south of Nowgong. This is commonly said to be a dialect of Bara, or at least it is contended that two are common dialects of one language. No doubt, at one time these two speeches were identical, but in the course of centuries, they have developed on such different lines that I prefer to call Hill Kachari, or as its speakers call themselves, Dimasa, the language of the people of the great river, a separate language of the Bodo group.\u201d\nThe Dimasa Speech Community is a section of the large tribal group which goes by the name of Bodo Kachari and whose members are found scattered all along the Brahmaputra valley of Assam, parts of Arunachal, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Tripura and West Bengal in India. Some speakers of the Bodo group are also found in the north eastern region of Bangladesh. The major concentration of the Dimasas is in the autonomous district of Dima Hasao (North Cachar Hills) of Assam where they constitute more than 40% of the total population of the district. Till 1961 the Dimasa was treated as a sub tribe of the Kachari Tribe. In 1961 Census they were grouped as a separate tribe. They are listed in a special schedule issued by the Govt. of India and thereby they are entitled to special Govt. protection and constitutional benefits.\nIt is estimated that Dimasa branched off from the ancestral common language about one thousand years back. In its present form it is completely different from Boro spoken in the districts of Goalpara, Darrang, Sonitpur, Kokrajhar and Kamrup districts of Assam. Endle (1911) says, \u201cInter-marriage between the two races (the Dimasas and the Boros) is apparently quite unknown, indeed, the barrier of language would of itself probably go far to prevent such inter-marriage for although the two languages (Dimasa and Boro) have much in common, yet in their modern form they differ from each other nearly as much as Italian does from Spanish and members of the two sections of the race meeting each other for the first time would almost certainly fail to understand each other\u2019s speech.\u201d\nDimasa has three dialects spoken in the entire Dimasa speaking region of Assam. They are as follows: the Hill dialect, the Burman dialect and the Hojai dialect. The Hill dialect is spoken in the districts of Dima Hasao (North Cachar Hills) and Karbi Anglong, the Burman dialect is spoken in the plains of Cachar and the Hojai dialect is spoken in the district of Nagaon.\nThere are sub-dialectal difference in the Hill dialect. Dimasa as spoken by the educated native speakers of the community at important places like Haflong, Maibang and Diphu has been taken as the standard form of this language. It may be pointed out that the Hill dialect and the Burman dialect are the two contenders for the position of the standard variety of this language. The process of standardization has been going on and Dimasa is likely to evolve an acceptable standard form eventually.\n(a) Anybody interested in the grammar of this language, can read Dimasa Grammar by F. Jacquesson at http://brahmaputra.ceh.vjf.cnrs.fr/bdd/IMG/pdf/Dimasa_Grammar-2.pdf.\n(b) A DISSERTATION ON \u2018TONE SYSTEMS OF DIMASA AND RABHA: A PHONETIC AND PHONOLOGICAL STUDY\u2019 by PRIYANKOO SARMAH WAS PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN 2009 and is available at http://ufdcimages.uflib.ufl.edu/UF/E0/02/27/54/00001/sarmah_p.pdf\n(c) The first book on Dimasa written by Mr. Dundus in 1885 is available in the National Library of Calcutta.\nHoping that someday someone may be interested in studying this language, I am citing the following resources.\n1. Burlings,Rrobins. 1959. \u201cProto-Bodo\u201d, Language, Vol. XXXV, No. 3.\n2. Bhattacharya, P.C. 1977. A Descriptive analysis of the Boro Language, Gauhati.\n3. Endle, S. 1911.

I am working on Dimasa texts, together with a young Dimasa linguist.\nposted December 23, 2018 at 8:42 pm by Jonathan Evans Reply",

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb Courses \u00bb Metacognition: The Fine Art of Thinking, Analysing, & Growing\n$ 47.00 - Purchase this Course\nYou know the frustration. The one where you start a project, go running for supplies, information, and then lose track of time. A lot was riding on finishing the project; you were going to impress everyone. You were going to show off how smart and reliable you are. But it didn\u2019t happen.\nYou could blame a lot of things. You could say you weren\u2019t prepared, that resources were hard to find, and more.\nHowever, you can also learn the lifelong skill of metacognition and eliminate more than a few of those woes.\nMetacognition is defined as thinking about thinking. With this skill, you think quickly, efficiently, and thoroughly about any particular task, project, concept, or idea so that you can act upon it confident and pivot just as quickly when necessary.\nThis course shows you how to use metacognition. It does more than that, though. This 7 week course has 7 modules, each with 2 \u2013 3 lessons. Each lesson has an assignment to sharpen your skills, while each module test puts it all together and pushes the envelope just a little further. It\u2019s true: practise makes perfect!\nBy the end of this class you\u2019ll be tapping into your metacognitive powers like you would a superpower.\nTake a look at the table of contents below:\nModule 1: Introduction to our system and the class\nWe\u2019re not just gonna leave you hanging out there with a giant learning curve for the platform. That would be mean. This module has a quick lesson on how to use our platform, Sensei for WordPress, before diving into the introduction of what metacognition is.\nBesides learning how to use this platform, you\u2019ll also see how you can learn to use the concept of metacognition and the skills you\u2019ll be sharpening in this class. Hint: It goes a pretty far beyond the world or school environment.\nModule 2: 10,000-foot view and big picture clarity\nLife isn\u2019t just work. We work for things and towards things. And guess what? They aren\u2019t mutually exclusive. You can pick up any project and use it to train you for something that matters. In this module you\u2019ll be taking a look at your own life. That means looking at where you want to be compared with where you are so you can make goals that will get you a step or two closer to your dream with every project.\nAt the second half of the module, we start applying this newly sharpened world view to the concept of mapping your path \u2014 both in life and during a project.\nModule 3: Strengths, weaknesses, and working with what you have\nHave you ever started to do a project, only to realise that you just don\u2019t have what it takes to pull it off? Most of us do as a kid, then as an adult we do it either because we are addicted to challenges or looking for approval. When you accept a project, you want to play to your strengths and adopt a team that helps you keep strong throughout. This module is designed to help you quickly assess strengths and weaknesses so you can match yourself with the best teammates on any given project to make the best of it.\nOf course, we don\u2019t always work in a team. When that\u2019s the case, there are a few other tricks you can use to see the end of a project approaching with confidence, not anxiety.\nModule 4: Planning, organisation, and time management (oh my?)\nWhen planning and projecting a project, the first three steps are usually skipped while humans that have not tapped into their superpower yet skip straight on to this one. Don\u2019t get me wrong, all three of these are highly important and sometimes tough skills to master, but if you start here, it\u2019s like starting to walk in any direction hoping to get to a particular place.\nIn this section instead of focusing on a single method of any, we\u2019re going to break down how to find your best methods for you \u2014 including making something uniquely your own that will never fail you. From there, you\u2019ll apply it to the project you\u2019re working on in this class to test your ideas in the next module.\nModule 5: Doing and analysing the thing\nMost of the time people are in such a rush to get to The End that they never take time to enjoy the pleasure of The Journey. (Yep, caps needed.) In this module you\u2019ll learn to not just slow down and analyse your techniques and approach, but appreciate your ability to make the choice to throw away things that aren\u2019t working as efficiently as you\u2019d like. After all, the Pomodoro method may seem appealing, but it\u2019s not for anyone that can focus for an hour and a half, but then need an hour break.\nIn other words, this module is all about trying different things to see if they truly work for you. It\u2019s about finding out how to tweak things as you go through a project, and really getting the most out of it. By the end of this module, the next will seem like a breeze.\nModule 6: Get it done while reviewing\nThis is the second to the last module, and it\u2019s an extension of module 5, but with a different focus. In this module you are going to build the good habit of constantly reviewing your efforts and pivoting (or adjusting) as necessary while you finish through to the end.\nIt may sound incredibly easy, but you\u2019d be surprised how easy it is to go off in either direction: obsessing too much or getting complacent. Balance is the key, but this balance beam is a thin thread winding around the life around you.\nModule 7: After Action Review\nWhile every module has a mini After Action Review (AAR), this module is dedicated to looking back at the process as a whole to see where you can tweak it for the next project that lands on your table. It\u2019s probably the easiest and hardest assignment of the entire class because it\u2019s the one that ties into your future and how you\u2019ll use this superpower for the good of your life.\nIntro to Metacognition\nGrab a cup of your favourite drink and pull up a chair. This is going to be a great skill to learn and keep in your toolbox forever. In this first module you'll take a closer look at what Metacognition is. The first lesson is a brief over view of what metacognition is and how you'll learn to use it throughout this class. The second module shows you how your brain works so you can take control of your mind power. Remember. It's all mind over matter. You can do this.\nIntroduction to Metacognition\nModule 2: Assessing the Task\nModule 2 of the Metacognition class, and the first step to figuring out what you're getting into.\nAssessing Your World\nPre-assessing the Task\nAssessing the Task\nModule 3: Strengths and Weaknesses\nUnderstanding and using your strengths, not weaknesses, to own the project.\nTeam Savvy\nEmbrace Your Strengths\nModule 4: Planning, organisation, and time management\nLearn how to get success by planning, organising, and managing your time for the project, not your life.\nGet It In Order\nEverything in a Place\nModule 5: Execution mindset and performance\nPut your mind over those things that matter, and you'll find out just how powerful you are.\nThe Mindset of Execution\nApplying Strategies\nPivot on a Dime\nModule 6: Adjusting, pivoting, and completion\nMaster the art of getting things done in time, with confidence, even when you have to pivot and adjust your work.\nPivoting and After Action Review",

Treatment-related factors and other modifying risk factors contributing to the risk of late effects have been identified. Survivors deemed at increased risk based on their treatment history and other exposures may benefit from early detection for late complications and risk reduction strategies. However, the optimal screening tests and prevention program, and their timing and frequency are not clear. It should be noted that treatment for Hodgkin\u2019s lymphoma has undergone considerable changes over the last several decades. Most of the current data on late effects after Hodgkin\u2019s lymphoma are based on patients treated with outdated chemotherapy and radiation therapy. As Hodgkin\u2019s lymphoma therapy evolve over time, continued documentation of late effects associated with newer treatment will be important for the follow-up of patients treated in the modern era.",

Distributional changes of many types are included: location, scale, skewness, etc. Although direct application of some simple ideas is unsuccessful at providing good estimates of trends, less direct application of the same ideas allows for the implementation of significance tests for changes in shape, for the construction of confidence regions for the quantiles of a distribution that might change with time and for an indirect use of L-moments in estimating trends.\nL-moments, trends\n\u00a9 NERC (CEH) 2013",

Political unrest in Guyana took her father\u2019s life, which motivated Annette to pursue the American dream.\nAnnette became a successful realtor and investor, got married, and built a family. It wasn\u2019t until her divorce years later that she began to spiral downward. Annette felt like a prisoner in her own body \u2013 battling health issues, weight gain, respiratory illness, and depleted energy.\n\u201cIt was a low point in my life,\u201d Annette explained. \u201cI was sad and had little energy.\u201d\nIn 2013, a friend introduced Annette to Isagenix. She began to use the products and noticed a shift in her energy and a boost in her mood. She even took up running, which was something she had never done before.\n\u201cI was not athletic at all,\u201d she said.\nRunning marathons became somewhat of an obsession for Annette, and she entered races across the United States and all over the world. Her training consisted of waking up at 4 a.m. three times a week and driving almost 40 miles from her home to train. After training, she would drive home for another workout on her own.\nAs a marathon runner, Annette\u2019s workouts consisted of a lot of cardio, so when she joined the IsaBody Challenge\u00ae, she wanted to build lean muscle and create definition. Annette hired a trainer and hit the gym, but learned that though she was working out regularly and running marathons, her body fat percentage was higher than it should have been.\n\u201cI was committed to transforming my body with the help of Isagenix products,\u201d Annette said.\nBikini Goals\nAnnette\u2019s next goal was to enter a bikini competition, even though she had never owned a two-piece bathing suit. At 54, Annette was competing against women in their 20s and 30s. She entered five categories and won first place in two of them!\n\u201cI want to defy the odds to show people that a 50-year-old can look fabulous,\u201d Annette said.\nThroughout her Challenge and her bikini competition, Annette regularly used Isagenix products, especially the AMPED\u2122 line, e+\u2122, IsaLean\u00ae PRO Shake, Cleanse for Life\u00ae, and Ionix\u00ae Supreme.\nOverall, participating in IsaBody has showed Annette the importance of perseverance and determination. Her next major goal is to run marathons in all seven continents, pursue her Isagenix business full time, and inspire others, especially women.\nAnnette never thought that 33 years after leaving South America she would be pursuing her American dream.\n\u201cNo more running for a better opportunity,\u201d she said. \u201cI am here to stay!\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Conversations Revolving Around Transgender Bathrooms\nSo there have been many, many times when I\u2019ve had a lot I wanted to write about, but I end up talking about it on Facebook and getting most of my thoughts out. This is fine but the consequence is that I never get to document those thoughts, and they\u2019re lost among endless streams of Facebook conversations. I\u2019ve been trying to find a way to compromise between having serious discussions on Facebook or writing all my thoughts out on my blog, so I\u2019m going to try something I\u2019ve been thinking about for a while. I\u2019m going to take the comments and conversations between myself and Facebook friends and structure it like a blog post, with their comments and questions between what I\u2019m saying. It isn\u2019t a perfect way to get my thoughts out (ideally I would take everything I wrote about on Facebook, then sit down and restructure it into something thought-provoking and eloquent), but I write best flying by the seat of my pants, and besides the second method takes a lot more time.\nRecently the issue of where transgender people will use the bathroom has become political, with at least one state (North Carolina, as it happens, I guess they just really want to make it impossible for me to ever be proud of where I come from) passing legislation forcing transgender people to use the bathroom that corresponds to the gender they were assigned at birth. What\u2019s honestly unusual about this is that people seem to think this is the first time anyone\u2019s ever had this issue, whereas trans people have still had to go to the bathroom just like everyone else for all this time, we just weren\u2019t talking about it (or in some cases, getting enraged about it), until now. Most likely we\u2019ve all been going to the bathroom with trans people in the next stall and never thought anything of it because, well, it\u2019s the fucking bathroom, what do you expect? So, I decided to talk about it on Facebook and what follows is a slightly restructured transcription of the conversations that followed.\nHere\u2019s what confuses me about people who freak out over transgender bathroom usage\u2026 If you\u2019re a straight man, you already share your bathrooms, public showers, and locker rooms with gay men. And some gay men actually legitimately use those spaces to hook up with one another. The fear among conservatives is that this will lead to a lot of sexual deviance, but there are already people who might be sexually attracted to you in your bathrooms and nothing bad has happened to you yet (as usual, straight men are so arrogant that they think gay guys are going to be perving on them while they\u2019re pooping, because you\u2019re so great and they have nothing better to do).\nThe world hasn\u2019t imploded; kids aren\u2019t being harassed or molested (which is what these straight people claim is going to happen with trans bathrooms). Literally the only thing different will be that someone who isn\u2019t cisgender will pee in the same room as you.\nComments and Conversations\n(Savannah: Personally, I couldn\u2019t give a flying feck who is in the bathroom with me. As long as you don\u2019t try to relieve yourself ON ME\u2026.. It\u2019s all good. I don\u2019t understand why people are so up in arms.)\nHonestly, when it comes to transgender people, I think people go STRAIGHT to their genitals in their head. And this is something that I wish people talked about more. Yes, it is strange to see two men kissing, to see a man who looks completely like a man but know that he has a vagina, to see two women in wedding dresses being married. It\u2019s okay to admit that these things are strange to see, or unusual, but it isn\u2019t because they\u2019re WRONG or BAD, it\u2019s because we just haven\u2019t seen them before! There was a time when people thought black people marrying white people was wrong simply because it was very unusual to see.\nI think it disturbs people on a deep personal level to know that there are men just like them who have fundamentally different bodily functions, or women just like them vise-versa. Because people internalize that and start imagining THEY\u2019RE the ones with a different set of genitals, and they just don\u2019t know how to process it. People are taught from the earliest age \u201cthe difference between boys and girls is that boys have this thing and girls have this thing.\u201d So when you throw a wrench in that, it shocks and confuses people.\nBut if we could all just TALK about the fact that for many people it\u2019s unnerving to see gay people, trans people, etc. then we could take steps to move PAST that. But unfortunately what a lot of liberal culture is doing is PRETENDING that they don\u2019t feel awkward at all when they see men marrying men or trans women using the same bathroom as cisgender women, etc. It\u2019s a conversation that I think needs to happen.\n(Savannah: I agree. I think what has happened though, is the group who should start the discussion, doesn\u2019t see a problem with sharing their lives with all people\u2026. I know for one, this who debate blows my mind, because it\u2019s beyond me scope to care if you have a vag or not\u2026. if you feel like a man, but are a woman\u2026.. This is all personal and we should all be free to be who we are. For fucks sake people\u2026. we are all people!)\nIt\u2019s because people who didn\u2019t know how they felt about transgender individual are now being put on the spot and forced to pick a side, and because there isn\u2019t a lot of understanding about who trans individuals are, a lot of people are just reverting to their base instinct and saying \u201cNo, this is wrong, this has to stop.\u201d We haven\u2019t really HAD the trans conversation yet, but now we\u2019re being forced to have it and people don\u2019t like to be forced to do something, so they\u2019re reacting harshly as a defense mechanism.\n(Mae: They\u2019re fearmongering. Also, most Transgender bathrooms are single stall bathrooms. And for those who are scared about all of this, it is very likely that they have shared a bathroom with a transgender person before and they just don\u2019t know it. There are bigger things at play though. There have been people that have been jumped, harassed, and killed for being in their preferred bathroom when they anatomically may not belong there.)\nThat\u2019s true, and that\u2019s something we need to talk about. I was just addressing the conservative side\u2019s fears here. I wish we would all just talk more openly about these things. If there\u2019s something I\u2019ve learned recently it\u2019s that most sides have some point of truth in their argument, no one is entirely correct or incorrect. If we could weed through the fear and indoctrination and talk about what conservatives are ACTUALLY afraid of and uncomfortable with, we can dispel those fears. I think that the way liberal culture has been fighting conservative hatred is just to pretend that hatred doesn\u2019t exist, rather than analyzing why it does.\n(Mae: Another thing that wasn\u2019t addressed in the main section was that sexual orientation is being confounded as well. People assume that the people who identify as a deferment gender are going to be attracted to the one they choose, which isn\u2019t always the case. This argument also leaves no room for people who are asexual, or gender non-conforming. Where should they pee?)\n(Sarah: Honestly, it\u2019s the first time I thought about this. That being said, I never had an issue with trans people using whichever bathroom they want to and never understood the fuss about it. But I also never thought about connecting it with homosexuality in this context. But it makes so much sense. You made a lot of good points about male-ness and female-ness being strongly connected to the genitals underneath Savannah\u2019s comment. Also: sometimes I have the feeling that the people starting the discussion are not the ones using the public restrooms they\u2019re discussing about (i.e. parents arguing over school toilets while many of the kids don\u2019t even care))\nI mean, I can say this. I\u2019m a gay man from the American south, and I was taught my entire life that \u201cgay\u201d was a word that meant \u201cwrong.\u201d I didn\u2019t even have an understanding of what it meant, but I knew inherently because of how I\u2019d been conditioned that the sight of a man kissing another man was stomach-churning and disgusting. And so, when I began to become sexual in puberty, I was actively turned on by seeing men kissing men but I STILL had that stomach-churning response at the exact same time.\nSo now I was having two responses: arousal and joy, and disgust. One of them was inherent, one of them was taught to me. I have known so many gay people who grow up and live their lives as out gay people, but who still on some deep level feel that two men or two women being together sexually is just wrong, or deviant, or against nature. They feel that way because they were conditioned against it, and no matter how much their understanding grows and changes, there will probably always still be a part of those people (myself included) that sees homosexuality as gross, icky, wrong. Even gay people have this feeling (or should I say, ESPECIALLY gay people have this feeling).\nI think it\u2019s the same with transgender people. When I was a kid they never said transgender, they said \u201cman trapped in a woman\u2019s body\u201d and they had episodes of Jerry Springer and Maury and Ricki Lake about this topic. These people were paraded around like drag queens and everyone\u2019s perception was forever altered by the way trans people were being presented (and indeed the way they were presenting THEMSELVES, but I can\u2019t fault them, because if you\u2019re trans in a transphobic world and someone offers you a platform to show yourself, you\u2019re going to take it, even if that platform is being paraded around like you\u2019re in a circus). These people were considered anomalies and rarities and not actual real people whose feelings and thoughts we would need to take into consideration.\nAnd so, we have a culture now where on the conservative side, people are just bluntly abusing trans people. They\u2019re letting the world know they think trans people are wrong or delusional or sick. And on the liberal side we have people who, rather than talking about the inherent transphobia instilled in so many people, are PRETENDING they aren\u2019t transphobic on any level, and anyone who disagrees is evil and bad. Liberals and conservatives are painting one another as villains instead of talking about the real fears they both have. It\u2019s like when people try not to be racist by saying \u201cI don\u2019t see color,\u201d it\u2019s just inauthentic and untrue.\n(Michael: Yes to all of this. It\u2019s a difficult thing and yes it\u2019s exactly like white privilege and owning up to it and dealing with it, even though it\u2019s icky and difficult and we\u2019d rather pretend we\u2019re above it all and \u201cdon\u2019t see color\u201d. It\u2019s happening though. It\u2019s really happening now in the case of white privilege. In the case of transphobia the ball has only just started rolling, but it\u2019s rolling. And it\u2019s through people like you articulating the issue so fucking well and building that conversation that it is happening. \u2764 )\n(Michael: That was interesting about your dual responses to seeing men kissing. I\u2019d never thought about gay men having that same conditioned disgust response that I remember having myself as a child. I grew up in a small rural community in England and was never exposed to anything but white Christian people. Nobody was gay (haha yeah except my best friend, I was to discover years later), nobody was a different race, nobody had issues with their gender (that was a thing I didn\u2019t even know existed). But I was intelligent and very very logically minded.\nWhen I first saw men kiss on tv I reacted negatively towards it and this bothered me a lot. Intellectually I was totally okay with men kissing men. But I would still have this emotional response and I didn\u2019t like it, was ashamed of it. I guess it was a conditioned response because over time it\u2019s gone away and I\u2019m totally comfortable around scenes of gay affection now. Happily so because my social circle is now a fabulous rainbow of genders and sexualities.)\nAnd see, I think it\u2019s brave and awesome of you to ADMIT that. It\u2019s okay to admit how we really feel, even if it\u2019s a way that someone doesn\u2019t WANT us to feel or that we don\u2019t want to feel ourselves. I don\u2019t WANT to find gay marriage weird and icky, but sometimes I do, and it isn\u2019t because I ideologically oppose gay marriage, it\u2019s because that\u2019s my gut reaction. Is it my gut reaction because it\u2019s how I honestly feel or because I\u2019ve been conditioned to feel that way? Well that\u2019s really the question, and it isn\u2019t easily answered.\nOn some level, maybe we do, honestly, and sincerely, find homosexuality gross. Even if we grow out of it, at some point maybe we do genuinely feel that way. But there could be plenty of reasons: from an evolutionary standpoint, it doesn\u2019t help us pass on our genes so that could be why we recoil at mating that doesn\u2019t produce children, from an ecological standpoint it could be that we are in a culture that stigmatizes homosexuality, no matter how subtle the stigma may be.\nBut we can\u2019t have an honest conversation about it if we lie about how we feel. On some level, yes, it makes me feel weird when I see transgender people. Why is that? Is it because I honestly don\u2019t understand it? Is it because I think they\u2019re wrong or sick? Is it because it just icks me out to think that a \u201cwoman\u201d has a penis or a \u201cman\u201d has a vagina? It could be any of those things or none. But if I don\u2019t allow myself to question it, if I don\u2019t honestly shine a light on my own confusion, I can never find any answers.\nbathrooms, bills, compromise, confusion, conservative culture, Gay, homophobia, lesbian, LGBT, liberal culture, North Carolina, south, trans, transgender, transphobia, understanding\tLeave a comment",

Most files relating to the 1948 Palestinian exodus remain sealed in the Israeli archives, despite the fact that their period as classified files \u2212 according to Israeli law \u2212 expired long ago. Even files that were previously declassified are no longer available to researchers. In the past two decades, following the powerful reverberations triggered by the publication of books written by those dubbed the \u201cNew Historians,\u201d the Israeli archives revoked access to much of the explosive material. Archived Israeli documents that reported the expulsion of Palestinians, massacres or rapes perpetrated by Israeli soldiers, along with other events considered embarrassing by the establishment, were reclassified as \u201ctop secret.\u201d Researchers who sought to track down the files cited in books by Benny Morris, Avi Shlaim or Tom Segev often hit a dead end. Hence the surprise that file GL-18/17028, titled \u201cThe Flight in 1948\u201d is still available today.\nThe documents in the file, which date from 1960 to 1964, describe the evolution of the Israeli version of the Palestinian Nakba \u200f(\u201cThe Catastrophe\u201d\u200f) of 1948. Under the leadership of Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion, top Middle East scholars in the Civil Service were assigned the task of providing evidence supporting Israel\u2019s position \u2212 which was that, rather than being expelled in 1948, the Palestinians had fled of their own volition.\nBen-Gurion probably never heard the word \u201cNakba,\u201d but early on, at the end of the 1950s, Israel\u2019s first prime minister grasped the importance of the historical narrative. Just as Zionism had forged a new narrative for the Jewish people within a few decades, he understood that the other nation that had resided in the country before the advent of Zionism would also strive to formulate a narrative of its own. For the Palestinians, the national narrative grew to revolve around the Nakba, the calamity that befell them following Israel\u2019s establishment in 1948, when about 700,000 Palestinians became refugees.\nBy the end of the 1950s, Ben-Gurion had reached the conclusion that the events of 1948 would be at the forefront of Israel\u2019s diplomatic struggle, in particular the struggle against the Palestinian national movement. If the Palestinians had been expelled from their land, as they had maintained already in 1948, the international community would view their claim to return to their homeland as justified. However, Ben-Gurion believed, if it turned out that they had left \u201cby choice,\u201d having been persuaded by their leaders that it was best to depart temporarily and return after the Arab victory, the world community would be less supportive of their claim.\nMost historians today \u2212 Zionists, post-Zionists and non-Zionists \u2212 agree that in at least 120 of 530 villages, the Palestinian inhabitants were expelled by Jewish military forces, and that in half the villages the inhabitants fled because of the battles and were not allowed to return. Only in a handful of cases did villagers leave at the instructions of their leaders or mukhtars \u200f(headmen\u200f).\nBen-Gurion appeared to have known the facts well. Even though much material about the Palestinian refugees in Israeli archives is still classified, what has been uncovered provides enough information to establish that in many cases senior commanders of the Israel Defense Forces ordered Palestinians to be expelled and their homes blown up. The Israeli military not only updated Ben-Gurion about these events but also apparently received his prior authorization, in written or oral form, notably in Lod and Ramle, and in several villages in the north. Documents available for perusal on the Israeli side do not provide an unequivocal answer to the question of whether an orderly plan to expel Palestinians existed. In fact, fierce debate on the issue continues to this day. For example, in an interview with Haaretz the historian Benny Morris argued that Ben-Gurion delineated a plan to transfer the Palestinians forcibly out of Israel, though there is no documentation that proves this incontrovertibly.\nEven before the war of 1948 ended, Israeli public diplomacy sought to hide the cases in which Palestinians were expelled from their villages. In his study of the early historiography of the 1948 war, \u201cMemory in a Book\u201d \u200f(Hebrew\u200f), Mordechai Bar-On quotes Aharon Zisling, who would become an MK on behalf of Ahdut Ha\u2019avoda and was the agriculture minister in Ben-Gurion\u2019s provisional government in 1948. At the height of the expulsion of the Arabs from Lod and Ramle, Zisling wrote in the left-wing newspaper Al Hamishmar, \u201cWe did not expel Arabs from the Land of Israel \u2026 After they remained in our area of control, not one Arab was expelled by us.\u201d In Davar, the newspaper of the ruling Mapai party, the journalist A. Ophir went one step further, explaining, \u201cIn vain did we cry out to the Arabs who were streaming across the borders: Stay here with us!\u201d\nContemporaries who had ties to the government or the armed forces obviously knew that hundreds of thousands of Palestinians had been expelled and their return was blocked already during the war. They understood that this must be kept a closely guarded secret. In 1961, after John F. Kennedy assumed office as president of the United States, calls for the return of some of the Palestinian refugees increased. Under the guidance of the new president, the U.S. State Department tried to force Israel to allow several hundred thousand refugees to return. In 1949, Israel had agreed to consider allowing about 100,000 refugees to return, in exchange for a comprehensive peace agreement with the Arab states, but by the early 1960s that was no longer on the agenda as far as Israel was concerned. Israel was willing to discuss the return of some 20,000-30,000 refugees at most.\nUnder increasing pressure from Kennedy and amid preparations at the United Nations General Assembly to address the Palestinian refugee issue, Ben-Gurion convened a special meeting on the subject. Held in his office in the Kirya, the defense establishment compound in Tel Aviv, the meeting was attended by the top ranks of Mapai, including Foreign Minister Golda Meir, Agriculture Minister Moshe Dayan and Jewish Agency Chairman Moshe Sharett. Ben-Gurion was convinced that the refugee problem was primarily one of public image \u200f(hasbara\u200f). Israel, he believed, would be able to persuade the international community that the refugees had not been expelled, but had fled. \u201cFirst of all, we need to tell facts, how they escaped,\u201d he said in the meeting. \u201cAs far as I know, most of them fled before the state\u2019s establishment, of their own free will, and contrary to what the Haganah [the pre-independence army of Palestine\u2019s Jews] told them when it defeated them, that they could stay. After the state\u2019s establishment [on May 15, 1948], as far as I know, only the Arabs of Ramle and Lod left their places, or were pressured to leave.\u201d\nBen-Gurion thereby set the frame of reference for the discussion, even though some of the participants knew that his presentation was inaccurate, to say the least. Dayan, who as GOC Southern Command after 1949 ordered the expulsion of the Negev Bedouin, was not in a position to take issue with the prime minister\u2019s statement that the Arabs had left \u201cof their own free will,\u201d despite being well aware of the facts. Ben-Gurion went on to explain what Israel must tell the world: \u201cAll of these facts are not known. There is also material which the Foreign Ministry prepared from the documents of the Arab institutions, of the Mufti, Jamal al-Husseini [He probably meant Haj Amin al-Husseini; Jamal al-Husseini was the Palestinians\u2019 unofficial representative at the United Nations \u2212 S.H.], concerning the flight, [showing] that this was of their own free will, because they were told the country would soon be conquered and you will return to be its lord and masters and not just return to your homes.\u201d\nIn 1961, against the backdrop of what Ben-Gurion described as the need for \u201ca serious operation, both in written form and in oral hasbara,\u201d the Shiloah Institute was asked to collect material for the government about \u201cthe flight of the Arabs from the Land of Israel in 1948.\u201d\nNakba between the lines\nThe Shiloah Institute was an odd bird in Israel of the 1950s and 1960s. The idea of establishing a research institute akin to an Israeli version of Britain\u2019s Chatham House was conceived by Reuven Shiloah, a Foreign Ministry official and former Mossad man. Shiloah died shortly after he finished planning the new institute. At the ceremony marking the 30th day after his death, the director general of the Prime Minister\u2019s Office, Teddy Kollek, announced that the institute would bear Shiloah\u2019s name and explained, \u201cThe institute\u2019s purpose will be to study current problems at a scientific level \u2026 The institute will also make known to the world at large Israel\u2019s views concerning the region.\u201d The institute was established in conjunction with the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Defense and the Israel Oriental Society \u200f(the umbrella organization of the Middle East scholars\u200f). It was managed by Yitzhak Oron, a major in the Intelligence Corps. A study by Prof. Gil Eyal of Columbia University, proved that the institute worked closely with the IDF\u2019s Intelligence Corps, which regularly provided it with intelligence documents. As a result, most of the papers written in the Shiloah Institute\u2019s first years were classified and not accessible to the general public. Researchers who worked in the institute in the 1950s described their activities as largely secret and considered themselves civil servants in every respect. The institute\u2019s studies had a reputation for thoroughness and quasi-academic quality. In 1965, the institute came under the auspices of Tel Aviv University, though its clandestine ties with the intelligence community continued for many years thereafter, ending in recent decades. In 1983, the institute changed its name to the Moshe Dayan Center for Middle Eastern and African Studies.\nFor Ben-Gurion, the Shiloah Institute was the perfect place to conduct the type of study he wished to arm himself with. Still, his request to the institute to collect material about \u201cthe flight of the Arabs\u201d seemed a bit unusual. Since the end of the 1948 War, Israel had dealt with the issue of the Palestinian refugees almost exclusively as part of the diplomatic struggle in the international arena; hardly any attempt had been made to investigate this aspect of the war. But there was at least one person in the Shiloah Institute who knew something about the Palestinian exodus of 1948.\nRony Gabbay immigrated to Israel from Iraq in 1950. After four years in a transit camp he obtained a B.A. and subsequently earned a doctoral degree in political science in Switzerland, completing his dissertation on the Arab refugee issue in 1959. However, on his return to Israel he found himself involved in a fierce controversy with the Ashkenazi academic establishment after he accused a well-known political science professor of racism.\n\u201cAt that time, many like me, of Mizrahi origin, who were ambitious, saw that the door was almost closed to us, so many left for Canada and America,\u201d he says in an interview from his home in Perth, Australia, where he has lived for more than 40 years. \u201cI ended up here and I do not regret it in the least.\u201d Before leaving Israel, Gabbay spent a few years at the Shiloah Institute as deputy director. He was there at the time Ben-Gurion\u2019s request had arrived.\nIt is quite unlikely that Ben-Gurion knew the topic of Gabbay\u2019s doctoral dissertation, since it had not gained much publicity in Israel. Had he known, he might have looked for an alternative candidate to write this study, which was to serve as the linchpin of Israeli public diplomacy. A perusal of the book Gabbay published based on his dissertation shows that, three decades before Benny Morris published his groundbreaking book, \u201cThe Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem, 1947-1949,\u201d Gabbay\u2019s study confirmed what Palestinian refugees had been claiming since 1948. \u201cIn many cases,\u201d Gabbay wrote, \u201csuch as during the battle to open the road to Jerusalem, Jewish forces took Arab villages, expelled the inhabitants and blew up places which they did not want to occupy themselves, so that they could not be reoccupied by their enemies and used as strongholds against them.\u201d\nWriting in the late 1950s, Gabbay drew on British statistics, UN documents, the Arab press and a number of Israeli documents he was able to obtain. He had no access to official IDF documents or to the minutes of cabinet meetings, of which Morris availed himself in the 1980s. Gabbay became convinced that there had not been a policy of systematic expulsion of Palestinians coming from the top, but rather that Palestinians were evacuated at the direction of local commanders \u200f(such as Yigal Allon and Yitzhak Rabin\u200f), although this occurred in \u201cmany cases.\u201d\nFifty-four years later, Gabbay is astonished to find that he was able to depict the events accurately with so few Israeli documents. \u201cTo this day I am still amazed that a researcher who was very methodical and very objective was able to read between the lines of open sources,\u201d he says.\nBen-Gurion\u2019s unusual request to the Shiloah Institute was accompanied by rare authorization to examine Israeli archives that were closed to the public. The institute\u2019s researchers were allowed to peruse captured documents that had been collected by the Intelligence Corps and, more important material compiled on the subject by the Shin Bet security service, some of which had been transferred from the Haganah after 1948. Gabbay: \u201cWe were told, \u2018We don\u2019t know what to do with all this material, with this crate.\u2019 So I went to Shin Bet headquarters for three or four days and went through all the material. After that they burned it, of course they didn\u2019t give it to us.\u201d\nBut there was one stack of documents that not even the Shiloah Institute team was allowed to read through. It consisted of the transcripts of the cabinet sessions during the war, in which the ministers discussed the Palestinians\u2019 flight and, in some cases, their expulsion by IDF units.\n\u2018Pure research\u2019\nThe file in the State Archives contains a letter Gabbay had written on his research project after he completed the work, dated August 26, 1961, and addressed to the director general of the Foreign Ministry. Gabbay writes: \u201cWith the exception of isolated cases, the flight of the Arabs was due to the cumulative effect of a number of elements in the political, military, economic, social and psychological realms \u2026 Chapters 1-6 present documents, quotations and other material which prove the \u2018contribution\u2019 of this or that cause among the causes of the flight and underscore the blame of the Arabs. Thus, for example, there is a clear proof that the Arab states encouraged [Palestine\u2019s] Arabs to flee, that the leaders fled [first], that atrocity stories were made up, and that Arab military leaders pressured to have villages evacuated from their inhabitants etc. The seventh and last chapter cites the documents which prove the efforts of the Jews to stop the flight.\u201d Gabbay concludes the letter by expressing \u201cmy hope that this booklet will faithfully serve Israeli foreign policy.\u201d\nMore than half a century later, Gabbay recalls the conclusions differently. As part of his research, Gabbay read Intelligence Corps transcripts of local radio broadcasts of propaganda aimed at the local population by the Arab armies that operated in Palestine. The broadcasts, Gabbay says, did not support the Israeli claim about the part played by the Arab and Palestinian leaders in the flight. \u201cThere was no mention of the local Arab leaders urging the Arabs to flee, that they \u2018pushed them,\u2019 as we claimed in our hasbara. I saw nothing like that.\u201d It is noteworthy that Benny Morris, who researched the subject 20 years later, also found no directives by Palestinian leaders or Arab rulers calling on the villagers to leave.\nIn the conversation from Australia, Gabbay finds it difficult to explain the disparity between his letter of 1961 stating that the Arabs were to blame, and his account today. Only in Haifa, he says, did the local leadership urge the Palestinians to leave, even though the Jewish leaders there urged them to stay. That, though, was a singular case and even there, the calls to stay were undercut by the Haganah\u2019s shelling of the Arab market, in which civilians were killed. Gabbay denies that his work at the Shiloah Institute prompted him to change the opinion he arrived at when he wrote his doctoral dissertation.\nHe insists that he and the others on the research team \u200f(Yitzhak Oron and Aryeh Shmuelevich\u200f) were asked only to collect and summarize material.\n\u201cWhat we did at the Shiloah Institute was pure research. In other words, what we submitted, what we got our hands on and examined was what we wrote. There was no fear. We didn\u2019t know, we didn\u2019t think about public opinion, we didn\u2019t consider anything like that.\u201d\nProf. Gil Eyal, who has studied the connection between Israeli Middle East experts and the intelligence community, explained in a phone interview from New York that the research study on the refugees could in no way be viewed as an academic text. \u201cWithout going into the motives of those who were involved, it is clear to me that this study falls into the general category of public diplomacy \u200f(hasbara\u200f). Public diplomacy, even when academics engage in it and make use of documents according to the research methods of historians, is still very different from academic research or from other forms of objective research. That is because in public diplomacy, what to look for in the files and what to prove is set forth in advance. Naturally, then, if there are other things in the file [that do not concur with the goals], they are simply not inserted into the study, because that is not what the authors wanted to find.\u201d\nBen-Gurion, though, was not pleased with Gabbay\u2019s report. Immediately after its completion he ordered his Arab affairs adviser, Uri Lubrani, to write a new study. Lubrani assigned the project to Moshe Ma\u2019oz, now a professor of history specializing in Syria, then a student at the Hebrew University and an employee of the adviser\u2019s unit. \u201cI went into Middle East studies with the mind-set of \u2018Know the enemy.\u2019 It wasn\u2019t until I did a Ph.D. at Oxford that things changed for me and I started to discover the Arab side, too,\u201d Ma\u2019oz says by telephone.\nMa\u2019oz was assigned a number of researchers to assist him with the study, and received a budget. He started to collect dozens of documents, in Israel and from around the world. He interviewed Israeli and British officers as well as Palestinians who remained in Israel. The 150 documents and interview transcripts were cataloged meticulously and prepared as a file of evidence. Ma\u2019oz notes that his findings were very similar to those of Benny Morris and pointed clearly to cases of expulsion, particularly in Lod and Ramle. \u201cI don\u2019t think I was biased or influenced by the boss,\u201d he says, \u201cbut it is possible that I over-emphasized the issue of the flight. The dosage was different, because I was still under the influence of the nationalist conception in which we were educated at school and in the army.\u201d\nIn fact, the documents in the file of the State Archives demonstrate the exact opposite. According to Ma\u2019oz\u2019s own telling of the documents, they ostensibly prove, without exception, that the Arabs fled of their own volition at their leaders\u2019 orders. In December 1961, before embarking on the project, Ma\u2019oz wrote to David Kimche, a senior Mossad official \u200f(and years later director general of the Foreign Ministry\u200f), to ask for help in compiling the documents. \u201cOur intention is to prove that the flight was caused at the encouragement of the local Arab leaders and the Arab governments and was abetted by the British and by the pressure of the Arab armies \u200f(the Iraqi army and the Arab Liberation Army\u200f) on the local Arab population.\u201d\nIn a letter of summation dated September 1962, which Ma\u2019oz wrote to Lubrani after he had completed the task of collecting the documents, he noted that he had fulfilled the assignment, and proved what he had been asked to prove: \u201cYou assigned me to gather material on the flight of Palestine\u2019s Arabs in 1948 which attests to and proves that: \u201cA. Arab leaders and institutions in Palestine and elsewhere encouraged Palestine\u2019s Arabs to flee, and the local notables, by being the first to flee, prompted the people to flee.\n\u201cB. The foreign Arab armies and the \u2018volunteers\u2019 abetted the flight both by evacuating villages and by their harsh attitude toward the local population.\n\u201cC. In a number of places, the British Army assisted the Arabs to flee.\n\u201cD. Jewish institutions and organizations made an effort to prevent the flight.\u201d\nImmediately after submitting the summary report, Ma\u2019oz left the office of the Arab affairs adviser and went to Oxford to begin his Ph.D. studies. He was replaced by another M.A. student, Ori Stendel, who continued to write the study of the Palestinian exodus. Shortly after taking over from Ma\u2019oz, Stendel met with Ben-Gurion, who described the project as a \u201cWhite Paper,\u201d referring to the reports by British commissions of inquiry in Palestine and elsewhere in the empire. \u201cI remember Ben-Gurion saying something like, \u2018We need this White Paper, because people are saying that the Arabs were expelled and did not flee,\u201d Stendel recalls. \u201cAs far as I remember, Ben-Gurion said, \u2018They did flee, but the truth has to be told. Write the truth.\u2019 That\u2019s what he said.\u201d\nStendel continued to collect material for a short time. He is convinced that the study he and Ma\u2019oz wrote is a scientific work that proves Arab leaders called on the Palestinians to leave, though it does not avoid uncovering the cases in which expulsion occurred. After all the material had been collected, Stendel was again summoned to a meeting with Ben-Gurion, who wanted a summary of the findings. \u201cI told him that it is impossible to speak in terms of uniformity. There was no [organized] expulsion activity, on the one hand, but on the other hand it is impossible to say that we tried to prevent the Arabs from fleeing in all parts of the country. I told him that I had no doubt, for example, that there was an expulsion in Lod and Ramle, pure and simple. He asked me, and I remember being surprised by this, \u2018Are you sure?\u2019 I replied, \u2018I wasn\u2019t there, I can\u2019t tell you, but according to everything we read and collected, an expulsion took place there.\u201d\nAs we saw, the documents in the archive make no mention of Stendel\u2019s assertion that the research project included documents attesting to expulsion. Stendel does not rule out the possibility that an attempt was made to play down such documents, but rejects the possibility that they were deliberately hidden. \u201cThere was no guideline to the effect that this would be a propaganda study, that things would be filtered in order to help with hasbara. In practice, that might be what happened \u2026 Obviously, we worked in the Prime Minister\u2019s Office and we wanted to help Israel in its struggle, so it was natural that we would look for the truth to prove that we did not expel people. It\u2019s definitely possible that that was the motive, but I don\u2019t remember that Ben-Gurion or Lubrani said, \u2018You should do this and that.\u2019\u201d\nStendel remains convinced that Ben-Gurion really did not know how the refugee problem of 1948 was caused, because he was busy with strategic affairs and did not take the time to deal with the refugees. The proof of this, he says, is that he asked a number of organizations to research the subject, so he would get a full picture. \u201cIf Ben-Gurion had decided on a policy, then there would have been a policy, and then also, let\u2019s put it like this: I think the Arab minority in Israel today would be a lot smaller. That is why I think that Ben-Gurion did not exactly know. It\u2019s possible that he authorized an expulsion in one case or another, when he was told it was important for security reasons; but my conclusion is that Ben-Gurion did not authorize a policy of expulsion, and so he wanted to know exactly what had happened.\u201d\nMost historians who have researched the subject paint a radically different picture. They present evidence that Ben-Gurion knew in real time about the expulsion of Palestinians and apparently authorized expulsions in a number of cases. In the absence of reliable information from the period, it is difficult to determine with certainty whether Ben-Gurion had actually persuaded himself that the majority of Palestine\u2019s Arabs had left of their own volition, or did not even believe this himself but wanted history to believe it.\nIn the meeting about the refugees at the end of 1961, Moshe Sharett, then the chairman of the Jewish Agency, suggested a modern spin: to leak the material that would be collected to foreign correspondents so that they would publish it as \u201cobjective\u201d investigative reports without revealing their sources. \u201cWe need to see to it that articles appear in the major newspapers,\u201d Sharett said. \u201cThat means we need to draw up a plan for each [foreign] capital, decide on a \u2018victim,\u2019 who the man will be, provide him with all the required information and all the arguments, and ensure that extensive articles appear ahead of the General Assembly session, because this issue is again becoming one of the more urgent ones.\u201d\nBen-Gurion apparently adopted this idea. In the office of the Arab affairs adviser, Stendel did as he was asked and approached Aviad Yafeh, who headed the Foreign Ministry\u2019s information \u200f(hasbara\u200f) unit. According to a letter from May 1964, the two agreed to make available the material that had been collected to a correspondent of one of the major foreign magazines, so he could write a series of articles about the \u201cflight.\u201d According to Stendel, the plan was never implemented.\nRose-tinted history\nEven though the Ma\u2019oz-Stendel report on \u201cthe flight of the Arabs\u201d appears to be lost for all time, the file in the State Archives contains clear evidence that the researchers at the time did not paint a full picture of Israel\u2019s role in creating the refugee problem. The story of how the study came to be written, juxtaposed to the way the authors see it today, reflects the evolution of Israeli society\u2019s relationship with the Palestinian narrative of the Nakba. In the 1960s, no one dared to admit publicly that Israel had expelled Palestinians, whereas today, in the post-Oslo period and following the research by the \u201cnew historians,\u201d the subject of Israel\u2019s culpability is no longer taboo.\nAfter rereading the file in the State Archives, containing summaries he himself wrote in the 1960s, Moshe Ma\u2019oz sent me the following email: \u201cAt that juncture I basically shared the views of most Israeli Jews, and that of the establishment, that most Arabs fled because their leaders escaped first and that other Arab leaders instructed them to do so. On the other hand, I did mention that Jewish organizations requested Arabs to stay and not to leave, but I did not mention that many Arabs fled for [reasons of] panic, war, massacres, etc. and that in certain places they were deported by the army. Perhaps these facts did not appear in the materials or were not known or appreciated.\u201d\nMa\u2019oz, then, underwent a conceptual shift at Oxford. After returning to Israel he worked for the military government in the occupied territories, but says he identified more closely with the Palestinians than with the Israeli government. Finally, he was booted out of the military government by the chief of staff, Rafael Eitan, after stating in a television interview in the early 1980s that Israel should hold talks with West Bank leaders affiliated with the Palestine Liberation Organization.\nMost historians in Israel and abroad no longer dispute the fact that IDF soldiers expelled large numbers of Palestinians from their homes during the 1948 war, and banned their return after the war. However, the debate over whether this was a preconceived plan authorized by Ben-Gurion continues. File GL-18/17028 shows that throughout Israel\u2019s 65 years of existence, the answer to the question of \u201cWhat really happened?\u201d varied according to who was responding. Still, it is unlikely that Gabbay, Ma\u2019oz, Stendel and Lubrani lied knowingly. More likely, they wanted to deceive themselves and create a slightly rosier picture of 1948, a formative year that changed the history of both the Jewish people and of the Arab Middle East for all time.\nShay Hazkani is a doctoral student in history at the Taub Center for Israel Studies at New York University.\nhttp://www.haaretz.com/weekend/magazine/catastrophic-thinking-did-ben-gurion-try-to-rewrite-history.premium-1.524308\n1948 WarDestruction of villagesLaws and military frameworksRefugees",

        "title": "Retention of Senior Medical Officers, time for a rethink on career progression?",
        "raw_content": "Retention of Senior Medical Officers, time for a rethink on career progression?\nBy Michael Clements In A View from the Front Issue Volume 16 No. 4 .\nA large preoccupation of junior medical officers in the military is to think about our return of service obligation and the decision on whether or not we will choose to stay beyond it. One of the most significant retaining factors will be whether or not we see ourselves enjoying the work that comes with the standard medical officer career progression structure. Given the fact that the majority of all medical school graduates will follow a career in clinical medicine1, how can we expect our junior medical officers to be satisfied with a career progression plan that would force us all into medical administration and management positions?\nAs a junior medical officer at RAAF Base Tindal, I am juggling general practice training requirements with the daily workload of sick parades, appointments, health assessments and Medical Employment Classification reviews. My current focus is on extending my clinical skills and knowledge, with a view to gaining my Fellowship of General Practice and therefore becoming a more proficient and effective ADF doctor, though perhaps if I want a career as a RAAF Medical Officer I should not bother. Skills required by senior RAAF Medical Officers include financial, operational and personnel management skills, because promotions to Senior Medical Officer, Officer in Charge and eventually Commanding Officer gradually increase administrative responsibilities while decreasing clinical contact time.\nMost doctors who join the ADF would not want to become administrators. The most recent report by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare on the medical labour force in 2005 shows that the percentage of all doctors in an \u2018administrative\u2019 employment category was only 2.2%, down from 2.4% in 20011. With a high proportion of doctors entering the ADF through undergraduate schemes, we cannot expect that medical students at recruitment have already decided that they would like an administrative career. Recruiting websites for doctors in all the Australian Defence Forces use the lure of dramatic clinical scenarios with the promise of a variety of training and specialisation\noptions 2-4but do make mention of administrative work as an option. Therefore we could reasonably predict that the population of medical students recruited would follow at least similar patterns to the rest of the doctor population in the 2005 survey and choose not to follow a career in medical administration.\nThere is nothing to suggest that a career in uniform is by its nature objectionable to doctors. While there are many musterings and categories understaffed, for many people a career in uniform is highly desirable and it would be safe to assume that many doctors who were satisfied with their career plan would choose to stay. There are many reasons why doctors do choose to leave, although it is too simplistic to argue that it is primarily because of a single factor, for instance because they are underpaid compared to their civilian counterparts. A 2002 survey of 4259 Australian medical graduates in vocational training showed that only 16.4% of them considered financial reward as an influential factor in their career choice5.\nClearly the clinical work in the ADF can be seen as desirable by many. Contracted Health Practitioners (CHPs) appear to be ready to fill vacancies in clinical positions, albeit often at a high price. In fact many CHP positions seem to be filled by prior full time ADF personnel who were obviously happy to work with the ADF in clinical roles, although they found that they could only gain satisfaction by doing the job out of uniform. Given the evidence that most doctors would choose clinical work over administrative work, that most doctors do not consider income as their primary driver for career choice and that there is nothing inherently disagreeable about being a military doctor, we should realise that in order to encourage retention a firststep would be the need to provide desirable career progression options.\nMedical officers would benefit from having some flexibility in their career progression options. Clearly, medical officers are a heterogeneous group of professionals who find satisfaction in various pursuits, mostly clinical, though for many there is the desire to pursue academic and research interests. The institutes of Aviation Medicine and the Army Malaria Institute offer, for a limited few, promises of academic medicine, although eventually it seems most doctors in those institutes end up becoming administrators of the units anyway. There will be a small percentage (say around 2.2%1) who will choose to become senior administrating officers, happy to take on the role of Commanding Officer of a unit or wing, although overall most doctors clearly want to preserve the hours of clinical contact, that is, most doctors want to stay doctors.\nA career progression plan that allowed individuals to stream into clinical positions or administrative positions while continuing to obtain promotion and pay increases would be very appealing. Theoretically, this should lead to an increase in the retention of both personnel and institutional knowledge, with experienced doctors providing effective information both up the chain and able to pass down their skills to new junior medical officers. A similar system is reportedly in place in Britain, with the Royal Air Force encouraging sub-specialisation training and career progression in hospital settings for its full time doctors6, although they continue to have recruitment and retention issues for what is likely to be a multitude of reasons.\nWhen we recognise that most doctors will not want to lead a unit or a wing administratively, then we need to look for other career groups to fill the position, for instance the Royal Air Force has a dedicated \u2018Medical Support Officer\u2019 position7, similar to the \u2018Medical Corps Officer\u2019 in the Australian Army8. Nursing Officers will often be promoted into command positions as it is clear that you do not need to have a medical degree in order to make most of the day-to-day decisions in running a unit. A streamed career structure for administrative officers, nursing officers, or any other category that can be groomed for running a health unit may be the most suitable alternative to medical officers.\nIf retention of senior doctors is to be a priority for the defence force of tomorrow, then we need to put into place systems and structures that have the potential to provide career satisfaction for uniformed medical officers. Once it is recognised that most doctors do not want to become administrators, we may be able to shape future health units where it is the doctors who provide excellence in clinical care, and it is the administrators who provide excellence in operational, financial and human resource management.\n1.Australian Institute of Health and Welfare.

        "raw_content": "You are here: Home / Interview Tips / Why Do Interviews Die?\nWhy Do Interviews Die?\nImagine that you\u2019re sitting with the employer and you just have that sinking feeling like this is just a huge fail.\nThere are number of reasons why they can blow up on you.\nThe first one is because the hiring manager reviewed your resume and interpreted something you wrote that you didn\u2019t intend it to say. That mistake is from the employer\u2019s and, of course, not your fault. Sometimes, they read things into your resume and wish and hope and pray that you have that particular experience. And, you know, within 5 minutes, everyone knows that you don\u2019t have the background that they are looking for.\nAnother reason is that is your fault. Sometimes, you overstated your skill or experience or success, and, because you are desperate to get that interview, you oversold yourself. That\u2019s your fault.\nAs a result, you wasted your time and wasted someone else\u2019s time. I have that happen with resumes I have read all the time. People submit resumes and they really don\u2019t have the experience that the resume suggests. I can tell within 2 minutes at that is the case. I just get them off the phone fast.\nDon\u2019t overstate what you can do. By the same token, don\u2019t understated. Just be accurate.\nSometimes job interviews fail because, frankly, the interviewer gets lost in the thought. They have other things on their plate and interviewing is 1 of 25 things they may have to contend with on a given day. So, for whatever the reason, the timing wasn\u2019t right for the interview. You are stuck sitting there or trying to talk with them and realize pretty quickly that you\u2019ve lost them attention.\nFinally, and this one is your fault, you are boring. They ask you a question and you never organized your thoughts around this topic and, as a result, you go off and drone on and are absolutely awful with how you present your ideas. You give long-winded answers to questions that need to be answered in 35 to 45 seconds.\nWhat job interview tips can you employ to avoid this?\nThe easiest thing is to ask them about the role that you\u2019re going to be interviewing for. Just don\u2019t accept the interview. Ask them to talk with you about the job and explore it a bit when you are invited for the interview. This way, if they are projecting experience onto you that you don\u2019t have, you can investigate further and say, \u201cI really haven\u2019t done what you\u2019re looking for. This is what I have done. Does that work for you?\u201d If they say, \u201cno,\u201d you save everyone a bunch of time.\nAnother thing you can do is don\u2019t exaggerate. Lay out exactly what you know and what you\u2019ve done. Exaggeration can put you in the position of wasting a lot of folk\u2019s time.\nIf you get a sense that the interviewer is off in thought (if you\u2019re in a phone interview this is a really easy one), this is one trick \u2013 \u2013 cough. Doing a quick cough will jolt them back to attention. If you are in an in person interview, shift your position a little bit and that will get them back.\nTo avoid droning on, pay attention. Hear the question and stay on point. If you\u2019re doing this over the phone. Very simply, jot down the question on a slip of paper (you do have your resume in front of you for a phone interview, don\u2019t you). Jot notes down on your resume and let that remind you how to stay on point.\nFinally, keep your answers to 30 to 45 seconds where possible. What I found is that when people go over 45 seconds. The interviewer starts to mentally \u201cchannel surf\u201d and start thinking about other thoughts other than you. Keep your answers brief and to the point and. You\u2019ll find that you not going to wind up losing them.",

        "title": "5 Things to Know About Chinese Consumers | Journal.Beer \u2014 Daily News & Analysis",
        "raw_content": "5 Things to Know About Chinese Consumers\nThe world is watching a slowing China and is increasingly concerned that China\u2019s consumers are about to close their wallets. A new report from consultancy McKinsey & Co. says that won\u2019t likely be the case. Here are five takeaways from the report, which surveyed 10,000 consumers, ages 18 to 65, across 44 Chinese cities.\n1 Chinese consumers are even more confident than those in the U.S.\nChinese shoppers are willing to spend because they feel pretty confident that that their incomes will rise over the next five years. Confidence levels vary by region and are lower in Northeastern China, where the manufacturing industry has been sinking for years, but consumers in China are even more optimistic than in the U.S. or U.K. In 2011, 32% of Americans said they expected household income to rise in the next five years. For the most part, Chinese consumers seem unaware that the Chinese economy is deteriorating.\n2 Chinese consumers are not homebodies.\nAnything that can be experienced beyond the house is better for Chinese consumers. Forget dinner at home with the family, Chinese want entertainment and a meal out. It\u2019s all about the adventure. Spas, massages and travel are the ultimate as spending on service boosts. Of consumers surveyed, 23% said they would spend more on travel if incomes rise, an increase from 14% in 2012.\n3 Foreign brands are out. Chinese are in.\nThe days when shoppers gravitated only to the foreign brands are officially over. Chinese brands have won trust and earned consumer loyalty. Last year, 62% of consumers said that given similar quality and price, they would prefer Chinese brands to foreign ones. That compares to 42% in 2009.\n4 Chinese will pay more for the best - even on rice or beer.\nNot only are many Chinese consumers not pulling back on their spending, they\u2019re actually spending more. Half of consumers surveyed say they want the most expensive product and are willing to shell out for the best. Forty-four percent say that they pay more for cosmetics, while 36% say they trade up for spirits and 26% buy more expensive hair products.\n5 China\u2019s gone health nuts.\nLike Americans, Chinese are becoming more health conscious, with 72% of consumers last year worrying that the food they eat is harmful to their health, up from 60% in 2012. Half of consumers are focused on eating food they think is nutritious and they\u2019re cutting out the food they think isn\u2019t. Soda is losing fans, with carbonated drinks faced a 26% penetration drop last year, while Western fast food saw a 24% drop.",

        "raw_content": "Reading: How do Sri Lankan University Libraries Employ Web 2.0 Tools in Providing Web-Based Library S...\nAbout C.N.D.\nWeb 2.0 is a popular technology that creates new paths in communication, networking, building partnerships and resource sharing. Though Web 2.0 technology helps the libraries to employ innovative web-based services, fewer studies have been conducted to identify the utilization of Web 2.0 tools by Sri Lankan libraries. The aim of this paper is, to explore the types of Web 2.0 applications employed and to identify the purposes of embracing Web 2.0 applications in Sri Lankan university libraries. The Sri Lankan government university libraries which are under the University Grant Commission (UGC) of Sri Lanka were taken as the research population of this study and the total population was considered as the sample. Content analysis technique was adopted in this study for fifteen Sri Lankan government university libraries. The research instrument was a checklist consists of 60 checkpoints based on similar checklists found in the literature related to studies conducted on Web 2.0 applications and their usage. Data collection was conducted by accessing the web pages of these university library websites within a month period. Except for one university library, all the other fourteen university libraries introduced at least one Web 2.0 application with the primary features in their websites. Out of seven Web 2.0 tools considered in the study, Real Simple Syndication and Social Network Services are the most popular applications while Blogs, Vodcast and Podcast are less frequently used. Instant Messages and Wikis have not been implemented by any of them. Sri Lankan university libraries should be more focused on deploying Web 2.0 applications in their library websites to satisfy the needs of today's modernized user and also to be compatible with frequently changing technology.\nKeywords: Library services , University libraries , Web 2.0 , World Wide Web\nHow to Cite: Punchihewa, C.N.D., 2018.

        "title": "Ballou-Aares Family Portraits in Capitol Hill | Julie Kubal Photography",
        "raw_content": "Ballou-Aares Family Portraits in Capitol Hill\nDaniella and I were high school classmates, though time and work and love and life had caused us to lose track of one another over the years. Until one day, our paths reconnected a few years ago at our high school 20-year reunion. We discovered that we were both living in Washington, D.C. and since then we\u2019ve remained in touch. So when Daniella expressed an interest in taking some family portraits in Capitol Hill, I had the lucky pleasure of receiving her call.\nAs a mother myself, I understand all the expectations that hang in the balance of a family portrait shoot. Will the images be flattering? Will the photographer understand my vision or will the portraits come out looking like lifeless stock photos? Will it be worth the investment? I understand those fears because I\u2019ve felt them myself, which is why \u2013 before I ever pick up my camera \u2013 I work with each client to clarify what kind of portraits he or she would like to create. In the case of Daniella and her family of four, she requested a variety of family portrait combinations, set amidst local backdrops, and with particular attention to highlighting the lighthearted moments. For an afternoon of family portraits in Capitol Hill, I knew that her request would lead to some spectacular images.\nOn the day of the photo shoot, I met up with Daniella, her husband, Martin, and her two beautiful daughters Sabine, 8, and Kaia, 3. But rather than heading to a public park, landmark site, or staying within the family\u2019s home, we decided to roam through the picturesque neighborhood of Capitol Hill. We imagined it would be the perfect way to remember the family\u2019s time in the area. For those of you who may not be so familiar with Washington, D.C. neighborhoods, Capitol Hill is just minutes from the National Mall and the U.S. Capitol Building. It has a subtle grace and beauty to it \u2013 the kind of urban neighborhood that forms an emotional oasis within a true metropolitan jungle. On nearly every block there is beautiful brickwork with weathered shades of auburn and rouge, wrought iron fences with stark dark lines, and distinctive alleyways that never fail to inspire me. As we wandered the pristine streets of Capitol Hill, we found dozens of inviting backdrops for the innovative family portraits that Daniella was seeking. Little Kaia got into performance mode singing and dancing the now-infamous \u201cLet it Go\u201d from Frozen, which engendered plenty of genuine smiles. And I quickly fell in love with the spunky personality of Sabine. She got really into the whole idea of doing different poses and was a big help with her little sister throughout the afternoon.\nThe Ballou-Aares family will be moving soon to a new home in the same neighborhood and we\u2019ll be creating some spectacular wall art together so that their favorite selections are on display for all to see. I couldn\u2019t imagine a better way to start warming up the white walls of a new home.",

        "raw_content": "So at first this was going to start out as a tweet, but I can only cover so much ground with 140 characters. In time, it progressed into a semi-lengthy facebook status that was complete and utter shit. You\u2019ve seen those statuses before. Those overly excessive inspirational statuses that leave you with more questions than answers. Well, it wasn\u2019t really that bad, but for the most part it was nothing but nonsense. Not that you can expect this to be any different. Obviously. But at least I had some time to organize these thoughts into something worth reading. Stay with me here, people.\nSo now here were are. Another god damn blog post. This post is nothing more than my current state of mind. Nothing more than being caught in between those pivotal transition periods throughout our lives. Nothing more than me trying to figure out what comes next at 25. And who knows, maybe I\u2019ll piece it together as I get these thoughts out of my mind, organized, and onto this screen.\nLately I\u2019ve been catching myself thinking how weird of an age 25 has been so far. Granted I\u2019m only a few months in. But still. And I don\u2019t mean this as a bad weird, but just weird in general if that makes sense. I guess for starters, without a doubt I\u2019ve been noticing a shift in the way that I\u2019ve been thinking. I\u2019ve noticed it slowly shift from this kind of neurotic, obsessive type of thinking, to a more smooth and calculated approach to how I assess everything now a days. By all means this isn\u2019t a bad thing either. It\u2019s actually been a really refreshing change of pace. I feel way more in control, more than I ever use to be at least. But on the flip side of this, I feel that even as chaotic as my thinking used to be, it was beneficial. Beneficial in the sense that out of all of that madness, I was able to reach in and pull out some valuable ideas from time to time. Jordan Peterson, a Canadian psychologist, kind of hits on this point after Joe Rogan, on his podcast, tells him how good he has it Canada. Jordan Peterson goes on to say that as good as he may have it in Canada, he would rather live in the United States. That in the United States we have the extremes of the highs and the lows that permeate throughout our culture, whereas Canada flatlines somewhere right in the middle of the two extremes not leaving much room for expression throughout the Canadian culture. So now with my thinking riding on cruise control, so to speak, those gems for ideas aren\u2019t coming around quite as often as I would like; or at least it doesn\u2019t feel like it. I\u2019ve been more content with life and more at peace than I\u2019ve been in a long time, but with that comes this realization that maybe contentment and ambition can\u2019t co-exist. That maybe a life without the highs and lows doesn\u2019t leave much room for creativity to thrive. So yeah, there\u2019s part one of my quarter life crisis (joking, obviously) and with that leads us to part two.\nPart two: knowing what I knew when I was 20, but didn\u2019t actually start to hit home until recently; that I didn\u2019t want to just be catching up with myself by the time that I was 30. I\u2019ve always said that I want to be successful by the time that I\u2019m 30. Everyones has their own version of success. Some it\u2019s money. Others it\u2019s status. The list goes on. As for me, anytime I go to define success, it turns into more of this vision of how I see my future going. This isn\u2019t a singular vision but a conglomerate of future ideas touching base in multiple areas of my life. I don\u2019t need millions and when all is said and done, I want to live my life on my terms. I don\u2019t want to work for anybody. I can\u2019t work for anybody. It\u2019s not in me to work for somebody for the rest of my life. I don\u2019t want someone telling me what time to come into work. I don\u2019t want someone telling me when I can or can\u2019t take vacation days. How are you going to work year round just for someone else to tell you that you can only take 14 days off. . . .somethings not right there. Fourteen fucking days?! What is that shit?! You guys reading this are probably going \u201cno shit, don\u2019t we all want this?\u201d Oh absolutely. But, me being naturally curious when it comes to people, I tend to people watch. A lot. You do this long enough and you\u2019ll start to notice the people who aren\u2019t living the life they desire. You watch them slowly start to comprise different areas of their life for a future that doesn\u2019t quite seem to fit what they had envisioned for themselves 10 years prior. You even see this with people my age! Already giving up in different areas of their life acting like 25 is the new 50. And not that there is anything wrong at 50 because even at 50+ people are still getting it done! They\u2019re not out there making excuses for themselves. And I get it, things do happen throughout life. Or certain obligations make it that much harder to get where you truly want to be. But it\u2019s not impossible. There\u2019s only so many times you can make excuses before you realize that at the end of the day, if you\u2019re not living the life that you desire, you only have yourself to blame. It\u2019s as simple as that when you get past all the bullshit.\nHere we are to wrap this up. Part three: talk is cheap my friend. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve missed any opportunities in my life, but lately there\u2019s been this undeniable, constant nagging of, \u201cHey man, what comes next? How do we add onto plan A or do we find a way to combine plan A & plan B?\u201d So the last piece of the puzzle in all this weirdness is to take action. And not just any action as Ryan Holiday puts it in The Obstacle Is The Way, but directed action; \u201cWHAT IS ACTION? Action is commonplace, right action is not. As a discipline, it\u2019s not any kind of action that will do, but directed action.\u201d Ideas are in motion. Directed action is in motion. And if I\u2019m not at least on that path to my version of success by the time I\u2019m 30, then feel free to pull this blog up. Actually please do because it will only have meant that it was easier to right this blog, talking all this smack, then it was to go out and actually get shit done. That when I get past all my bullshit, that writing a blog was just another form of procrastination in disguise. Maybe.\nSo now you have a good idea of where my head is at these days. And I\u2019m sure from a reductionist standpoint, this can easily be explained as \u201chere\u2019s what\u2019s going on with your brain at 25\u201d or that this is one of those major \u201cturning points\u201d that come throughout our lives. And let\u2019s be honest, without a doubt that\u2019s exactly what I\u2019m experiencing. We don\u2019t always get to choose these turning points though. In some ways I feel that this has been harder to deal with because instead of being left to react to a devastating turning point in my life, I\u2019m now forced to act. This is now on me to figure out what comes next. So if there\u2019s anyone out there reading this going through the same thing, let me know. Make sure I\u2019m not alone on this one ya know? Or if you\u2019ve been down this road and made it out alive, also let me know. Help a dude out.

Your loved one will change the way they think, the way he behaves, and ultimately, become a totally different person. You\u2019ll see the person you once knew come to the surface again, full of joy and thankfulness for having a new lease on life.\nAdult & Teen Challenge rehab centers for men operate under the idea that addicts and alcoholics try to fix a spiritual void in their life with substances like drugs or alcohol. These substances serve to cover up hurts or to achieve a false \u201chigh\u201d, but they come around to bite the user. The addiction quickly consumes their life, their finances, and their relationships. But they are unable to dig their way out of the black hole they have fallen into. Thise seems to be no way out on their own.\nThis Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Center Offers Hope for Men from Antioch, Tennessee\nAt the Adult & Teen Challenge center near Antioch, Tennessee, recovering men find their place in the world they once shunned.

They are held accountable by both the staff and recovering men who are ahead of them in the program. This peer environment is one of the most important parts of a long-term program, because just like you can\u2019t kid a kidder, you cannot hide bad attitudes, lies or mistakes from those who have been through addiction themselves.

        "raw_content": "16 JANUARY 2015 Graeme Sait, Nutri-Tech Solutions, Queensland\nSoil Health Addresses our Massive Problems\nThe UN has named 2015 International Year of Soils and we should surely embrace this initiative with open hearts and willing hands. It is an incredibly timely focus, in light of a series of serious challenges impacting our future and perhaps our very existence. Soil health directly affects plant, animal and human health. It also impacts topsoil erosion, water management and ocean pollution. Most importantly, it is now recognised that global warming is directly related to soil mismanagement. A global soil health initiative can literally save a planet threatened with a man-made fever.\nThe Top Five Threats to our Sustainability and Long-Term Survival\nWhile in the UK recently, I met with a professor who shared some deeply concerning findings. He informed me that a recent survey of leading British scientists revealed that as many as one in five of the best thinkers in the country believe that we will be extinct as a species by the end of this century, or perhaps much earlier. This confronting information should serve to sponsor meaningful action from every one of us. There are five core threats that need to be urgently addressed and they all relate back to the soil. These include:\n1. Loss of topsoil \u2013 at the current rate of topsoil loss, we have just 60 years before the thin veil that sustains us is no more. This is a huge issue because we will hit the wall way before this six-decade deadline. What is driving this dramatic loss? Basically, it comes down to the massive decline in organic matter following the industrial, extractive experiment in agriculture. We have now lost more than two thirds of our humus. Humus is the soil glue that determines whether rivers run brown following rainstorms or if the winds tear dust from the fragile upper layers of our food-producing soils. Nature teaches us that you must give to receive. This universal law is at work in photosynthesis, the single most important process in nature. The plant pumps one third of the sugars it produces from photosynthesis back into the soil to feed the microbes, which in turn fix nitrogen, deliver minerals and protect against plant and soil pests. It is all about giving to receive.\nHowever, this is not a lesson we have applied to our farmland. It is a fairly basic concept that when you remove crops from a field, you are extracting carbon and minerals and you cannot just keep taking indefinitely. Unfortunately, this has been the dominant model in many soils for the past century. We have overtilled our soils, oxidised the humus and often ignored the replacement of key minerals that determine the health of humus-building microbes. We have burnt out humus with excess nitrogen at the rate of 100 kg of carbon per every 1 kg of nitrogen oversupplied. We have removed massive amounts of minerals and carbon with ever-increasing yields from our NPK-driven hybridised crops. In many areas we continue to burn crop residues. This senseless practice floods the atmosphere with CO2, which should have been returned to the soil as humus. Burning also damages soil-life while scorching precious organic matter in the process. The loss of topsoil has been increasing for a century and now, with the challenge of climate extremes, it is accelerating at quite a pace. Soil health legislation is essential in all of the thirty countries I have visited in the past year and in the International Year of Soils, we all need to be pushing for a Soil Restoration Bill to formalise this urgent necessity.\n2. Ocean acidification is another threat. The oceans have absorbed around half of the CO2 that has billowed from our soils, smokestacks and cement makers over the past century. This is a planetary self-balancing mechanism, which has helped avoid a much higher global temperature increase. However, there has been a price to pay for this compensatory, carbon redistribution. The CO2 becomes carbonic acid in the ocean and, as a result, our seas have become increasingly acidic. It is basic chemistry that creatures that make their outer shells from calcium struggle to do so in increasingly acidic conditions. This directly impacts coral, shellfish, phytoplankton, algae and krill, and their struggle for survival has already begun. The key understanding here is that their survival is actually our survival. 500 million of us are directly dependent on coral reefs. Algae and krill are the basic building block for all life in the ocean. Phytoplankton produce 60% of the oxygen we breathe and we have already lost 40% of these creatures. It is a serious situation that is worsening by the month and our only response to date is to talk about reducing carbon emissions. Talk is all we have done. There has been very little action, because the latest figures show a 10% increase in global carbon emissions over this past year. This is the biggest single increase ever recorded, at a time when we are supposedly focusing on critically important reductions. There is a solution to this crisis and it rests in the soil.\n3. Ocean warming is possibly the most urgent issue at present. Methane is a greenhouse gas that is 23 times more thickening (compared to CO2) of the heat-trapping blanket that warms our world. Permafrost is the phenomenon where ancient organic matter releases methane gas as the ice cover melts. There are currently huge, unanticipated outpourings of methane associated with the rapid thawing of Siberia. However, there is an even more threatening methane-driven phenomenon linked to the loss of ice in the arctic. The arctic oceans house mountains of methane and carbon sludge called methane hydrates. This material remains stable at the low temperatures and high pressure found at depths below 500 metres. However, it is now suggested that there will be no summer ice cover in this region within less than two years. This means that the arctic oceans, lacking the reflective effect of the ice cover, will warm much more rapidly. In a recent edition, the prestigious scientific journal Nature warned of a strong potential for a massive \"methane burp\" from this region within the next two or three years. They suggested that this \"burp\" could involve 50 gigatonnes of methane in one huge release. This is equivalent to 1150 gigatonnes of CO2. Here are some figures that help to put this huge release into perspective. The entire man-made contribution of CO2 to the atmosphere from industry, energy generation and transport since 1860 is 250 gigatonnes. The loss of two thirds of our humus through soil mismanagement represents another 476 gigatonnes. We may be set to see the equivalent of over 150% more CO2 than that combined total, released in one short time frame. It is a truly frightening scenario that highlights the screaming urgency of a call to action.\n4. Food security and feeding the billions become increasingly serious concerns as climate change progresses. There is no country I have visited in the past 12 months that has not had serious issues linked to climate change. Brazil, with its biggest drought in 80 years; California, with a three-year killer drought; India, with a belated, substandard monsoon; and large areas of Asia, NZ and Australia impacted with unparalleled weather extremes. It is becoming increasingly likely that these climate-related issues could serve to trigger economic recession or depression and that is when the importance of food security becomes paramount. In uncertain economic times, you are absurdly vulnerable if you are a country like Qatar, with 6% of the food security of Japan, who produce just 40% of their own food requirements. Turmoil and international aggression come hand-in-hand with financial collapse \u2013 it is easy to shut down the imported food supply of another country when seeking to fast-track capitulation. Improving your food security becomes an urgent necessity in this brave new world.\nSoil health determines productive capacity. In fact, good soil and water are increasingly seen as \"the new gold\", in recognition of their expanding importance. Warren Buffet is buying up farms with good soil and water, the Bush family has acquired a slice of the largest aquifer in South America (around 500,000 acres of the massive Gurani aquifer which comprises 300 million acres) and the Chinese are buying up good farmland across the globe (in countries where it is allowable). The GMO companies have sold us the story that their GM varieties are the solution to feeding a growing world population. However, it is becoming increasingly obvious that these finely tuned hybrids require very specific and precise conditions to deliver their promise. They can be very productive when given the correct fertiliser, moisture requirements and climate conditions but they can really struggle in challenging conditions. In short, they do not have resilience and resilience is the single most important requirement in a world that is becoming considerably less predictable. The more mineralised and biologically active your soil, the greater the crop resilience. There are tens of thousands of examples of this phenomenon. In fact, the obvious validity of a soil health strategy could be clearly contrasted with the failings of the conventional approach in the face of changing conditions. The suicide of 300,000 Indian farmers is partially related to crop failures linked to this lack of resilience in GM crops. The reality is this: the billions are better fed with humus-rich, living soils that store precious moisture more efficiently and sustain crops that can adapt to and perform in changing conditions.\n5. Declining nutrition in our food and chemical contamination of our fresh produce are two other closely-related issues impacting our sustainability. The industrial, extractive agriculture model has seen the constant removal of soil minerals and a loss of two thirds of the humus that helps to store and deliver those minerals. It is common sense to recognise that, every time we take a crop from a field, we are removing a little of all 74 minerals that were originally present in those soils. We replace a handful of them, often in an unbalanced fashion, and we assault our soil life with a smorgasbord of farm chemicals, many of which are proven biocides. When we have bombed the microbe bridge between soil and plant there is a price to pay. The plant suffers, in that it has less access to the trace minerals that fuel immunity, and the animals and humans eating those plants are also compromised. It has been suggested that the food we now consume contains just 20% of the nutrition found in the food consumed by our grandparents when they were children. The immune-compromised plant will always require more chemical intervention, and repeated studies have demonstrated the cumulative effect of chemical residues in our bodies. This serious scenario is all about minerals and microbes, and they, in turn, are housed by humus.\nHumus Saves the World\nIt may seem like something of an oversell to claim that the sweet-smelling, chocolate brown substance that determines soil fertility could really pull us from the mire. The key understanding here involves a recognition that you can't make more carbon. The number of carbon molecules present on our planet has remained constant since the dawn of time. This carbon is either stored in the soil as humus, the carbon-based life forms, or the atmosphere as CO2, and it cycles between these three. The problem is that a great deal of the carbon that used to be in the soil as humus (over two thirds) is now in the atmosphere, thickening the blanket and trapping more heat.\nThe very simple and obvious solution is to return some of that excessive atmospheric carbon back to the soil as stable humus. When we build organic matter (humus) in the soil we have effectively sequestered carbon from the atmosphere. This is a difficult concept to grasp for some people, but if you realise that you can't make more carbon, it becomes clear that if it is returned to the soil, it is also removed from the atmosphere. How effective is this strategy, you may be thinking, and could it be the solution? Professor Rattan Lal is, perhaps, the leading scientist driving this humus awareness. He has suggested that an increase in organic matter in the top six inches of the soil can effectively counter 30% of man-made carbon emissions. This is an extremely conservative estimate because carbon sequestration via humus-building happens at depths much greater than 6 inches. The roots of plants release glucose, created from photosynthesis, to feed the surrounding soil biology. Some of this glucose is converted to humus in the soil. In this context, root depth determines the depth and scale of carbon sequestration in the soil. The fact is that many plants have roots that extend much deeper than six inches. Recent studies, for example, have identified Australian native grasses with roots that extend well over a hundred feet down into the soil.\nA review of recent climate change science reveals a common and depressing overuse of the term \"irreversibility\" in appraisals of our future. If we constrain ourselves to the concept of reducing carbon emissions as our sole action strategy, this negative appraisal may be justified. However, when humus-building is incorporated into that game plan, the story changes. A global increase of 1.6% organic matter is sufficient to reduce CO2 levels in the atmosphere from 400 ppm to below 300 ppm, which effectively reverses global warming. The burning question remains \u2013 how do we do this within the short time frame involved?\nHow It Can Be Done: Ten Solutions That Must Become Government or Personal Policy\n1. Composting becomes standard practice wherever it is possible. On every farm, every council and in every home garden, we compost or add compost. Composting involves the conversion of organic matter into stable humus, but it is much more than that. When we add compost to a soil it stimulates and regenerates the soil life responsible for building humus. We did not just add some stable humus to our soil with the compost inclusion, we triggered our existing soil life to build humus much more efficiently and rapidly. The single most important breakthrough in the science of composting is the finding that the inclusion of 6-10% of a high-clay soil to the compost facilitates the creation of a clay/humus crumb where the humus created lasts for much longer in the soil. In fact, it remains stable in the soil for up to 35 years (compared to a bacterial-dominated compost, based on something like lawn clippings where this \"active humus\" is only stored in the soil for around 12 months).\n2. Mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) become the most important creatures on the planet at this point in time. These endangered organisms, of which we have lost 90% in farmed soils, produce a sticky, carbon-based substance called glomalin. It is now understood that glomalin, in turn, triggers the formation of 30% of the stable carbon in our soils. This is massive \u2013 one soil organism could single-handedly turn things around! It is an inexpensive strategy to reintroduce these missing creatures to farmed soils. NTS, for example, has developed a mycorrhizal inoculum calledPlatform\u00ae, where AMF can be effectively reintroduced for as little as $10 AUD per acre. Recent research has also demonstrated that compost has a remarkable capacity to stimulate both existing mycorrhizal fungi and introduced AMF, so our first two solutions are inextricably intertwined (as are several of these proposed solutions).\n3. Protection of soil life, and their humus home base, becomes an essential strategy. There is little point in reintroducing beneficial microbes with one hand and then promptly destroying the new population with the other. How did we lose 90% of our AMF and seriously compromise cellulose-digesting, humus-building fungi in general? The use of unbuffered salt fertilisers dehydrates and kills many beneficials, overtillage slices and dices AMF and oxidises humus and we have often neglected to feed and nurture this important workforce. However, the single most destructive component of modern agriculture, in terms of soil life, has been farm chemicals. Some of the herbicides are more destructive than fungicides in removing beneficial fungi. Fungicides can sometimes take the good with the bad and nematicides are the most destructive of all chemicals. There needs to be legislation to regulate chemicals that are killing the microbes that may determine our long-term survival. In an extractive model, where the soil is viewed as an inert medium in which the plant stands, this has not been a concern. However, as the science floods in, we are thankfully recognising the critical importance of the soil as a living medium and change is underway.\n4. A carbon source must be included with all nitrogen applications. If we investigate how we lost two thirds of our soil carbon, it becomes apparent that mismanagement of nitrogen is a major player. This is not just an issue relevant to loss of carbon \u2013 agriculture currently contributes 80% of the greenhouse gas, nitrous oxide, which is 310 times more potent than CO2 in terms of its global warming side-effect. Here's how it works: nitrogen stimulates bacteria, because these creatures have more need for nitrogen than any other organism (17% of their body is nitrogen). The bacteria seek carbon after this nitrogen feeding frenzy to balance out their unique 5:1 carbon to nitrogen ratio. In the absence of applied carbon, they have no choice but to target humus. They would never choose to literally eat themselves out of house and home, but we give them no choice. The destruction of humus via the mismanagement of applied nitrogen is a major factor that can be easily addressed. This is no small thing. Research demonstrates that we lose 100 kg of carbon for every 1 kg of nitrogen applied over and above what is required by the plant at the time. Think of large applications of starter N, where a young seedling cannot possibly utilise that much nitrogen. We need to regulate N applications, to adopt foliar application of N (which can be dramatically more efficient) and to include a carbon source with every nitrogen application. The carbon source offers an alternative to eating humus. This might include molasses, manure or compost but the best choice is NTS Soluble Humate Granules\u2122, a carbon-dense source of concentrated humic acid, that also stabilises and magnifies the nitrogen input.\n5. Tillage must be modified. There is compelling research demonstrating the humus-building effect of no-till or minimum-till agriculture. Much of this comes from the Rodale Institute and their 25 years of in-depth research, quantifying humus-building dynamics. Every time we work the soil we disturb cellulose-digesting fungi and oxidise existing humus. I favour minimum-till over no-till, as there is evidence of mineral stratification that occurs over time in completely untouched soils. It makes sense that a combination of leaching and utilisation will see key minerals slowly move beyond the root zone. If we stir things up from time to time, this negative stratification effect can be countered.\n6. Green manure and cover crops must become indispensable carbon-building tools for all of us. This is an integral component of a Nutrition Farming\u00ae approach, where we are always striving to feed the soil while converting plant material into humus. There is a rural myth among some growers that, in dryland situations, these crops will steal moisture from the subsequent cash crop. This is not research-based. All of the evidence suggests that the increased moisture retention associated with this regular injection of organic matter more than compensates for the moisture removed in the production of the cover crops. There is compelling new US research that cocktail cover crops may be particularly beneficial. It has been found that certain combinations of plants, typically involving cereals, grasses, brassicas, legumes and chenopods, can trigger the release of phenolic compounds from these plant roots, which have been shown to stimulate rapid humus building. The brilliant American consultant, Jerry Brunetti, who sadly passed away in 2014, has included a particularly successful cocktail cover crop recipe in his parting gift, a wonderful new book entitled \"The Farm as an Ecosystem\". Cocktail cover crops sponsor microbial biodiversity because each species tends to favour and feed specific groups of root organisms. The more diverse the plant species, the more varied the soil life \u2013 and nature thrives on biodiversity. The brassicas in the mix can also discourage pathogens like nematodes and some diseases with their biochemical root exudates. Cocktail cover crops are also profoundly drought protective, in that the great mass of roots involved exudes a gel-like mucilage that can absorb ten thousand times its own dry weight in water. The trillions of bacteria around the roots also release a gel-like substance that provides them protection from predators but also serves to retain water. Brunetti cites a cocktail mix that has proven tremendously successful for North Dakota farmer, Gabe Brown, who has, in turn, been inspired by the innovative work of Brazilian agronomist, Dr Ademir Caligari. This mix includes at least a dozen of the following species: pearl millet, sorghum sundan grass, proso millet, buckwheat, sunn hemp, oilseed radish, turnips, pasha, ryegrass, canola, phacelea, cowpeas, soy beans, sugar beets, red clover, sweet clover, kale, rape, lentils, mung beans and subterranean clover. This mix includes the desired mix of legumes, grasses, cereals, brassicas and chenopods. It also involves cool season grasses and broad-leaved plants combined with warm season grasses and broad-leaved plants.\n7. Intelligent grazing must be encouraged or incentivised to the point of legislative management. The dictionary definition of the word \"science\" is \"adherence to natural laws and principles\". Real science involves learning from the perfect blueprint of nature, rather than the futile attempt at improving upon nature that has characterised much of profit-based, scientific endeavour. In this context, we might examine nature to determine which soils on the planet have been most productive. The Great Plains in the US captured more carbon and produced more biomass than any other region on Earth. This amazing productive capacity was driven by huge herds of bison that moved into one area for a day, depositing massive amounts of urine and dung and creating a seedbed with their hooves for improved germination of the diverse range of seeds present in their dung. In effect, they facilitated a cocktail cover crop, or pasture crop in this case. The herds tended to graze down to about 4 inches before moving on, almost as though they were aware of the fact that the leaf is the solar panel that fuels photosynthesis. The plant pumps down 50% of its photosynthates (glucose) to the roots, and 60% of this carbon is exuded into the soil (30% of total glucose production). The whole carbon-building mechanics of the pasture are impacted by the length of the leaf, because the roots, which are being fed by the leaves, prune themselves back in accord with leaf size. If you have grazed down to a bowling green, the root mass has reduced accordingly and you no longer have a carbon-building pasture. Researchers like Dr Christine Jones in Australia have conclusively demonstrated that correctly managed pasture has the most carbon-sequestering capacity of any crop. Ruminants may yet be our savior, but only if we learn from nature and broadly adopt grazing practices where a post-grazing leaf length of 4 inches becomes the gold standard.\n8. CAM plants involve something called Crassulacean Acid Metabolism, where their stomates remain open during the night, but close during daylight. This allows much more efficient photosynthesis and much better water utilisation (around 500% better). These plants thrive in hot, arid conditions, in low humus soils. Their role in these conditions is to maximise the benefits of minimal moisture, while pumping more sugars into the soil to build carbon in these barren soils. The good thing about these succulents is that they are absurdly easy to propagate. You simply break off a piece of plant and poke it into the soil. In suitable countries, the unemployed could plant trillions of these plants across areas that have been desertified by mankind's footprint. We could improve those soils while sequestering massive amounts of carbon from the atmosphere. One of the CAM plants, surprisingly, is Moringa, which is one of the most nutrient-dense food plants on the planet.\n9. Humates become the most important of all farm inputs, from a humus-building perspective. Humic acid is the most powerful known stimulant of the cellulose-digesting fungi that build stable humus. It also holds seven times its own weight in water, which, of course, benefits crops and soil organisms. Humates improve root growth and soil structure and buffer the dehydrating (biocidal) impact of salt fertilisers. These inputs are effectively cost neutral, so they remain a viable option even in subsistence farming. This \"free\" status is based upon the well-researched capacity of humates to magnify nutrient uptake by one third, via a phenomenon called \"increased cell sensitisation\". Soluble humic acid granules are combined with fertilisers at the rate of 5%. The cost of this inclusion is deducted from the fertiliser bill (i.e., a little less fertiliser is used to accommodate the cost of the humate additive). The proven 33% increase in fertiliser performance ensures that there is no risk factor associated with the small reduction in applied fertiliser. Soil, plants, animals, humans and the planet can all be beneficiaries of what is essentially a cost-free input.\n10. Biochar is based upon the discovery of terra preta soils in the Amazon that seem to be self-generating and expanding. They feature humus-rich topsoil metres deep and they expand out beyond the villages from which they originated. It has been found that this remarkable fertility appears to originate from charcoal that was added to the soil from cooking fires. On the basis of this finding, the concept of manufacturing biochar as a humus-building soil additive has attracted considerable interest and associated research funds. I have been concerned that we had only really embraced half of the story. The amazing terra preta soils must surely involve specific microbes in a synergy with charcoal. We trialled a variety of task-specific organisms and broad-spectrum inoculums, like compost tea, in conjunction with biochar. However, we could not identify the specific synergy that turns biochar from inert carbon into a profound soil-building mechanism. Recently, I have had meetings with microbiologists who claim that the key synergist may be mycorrhizal fungi. This was a species we never researched but it seems highly likely that this is the key. Mycorrhizal fungi produce glomalin, which is responsible for 30% of soil humus. If these creatures were to move into hyperdrive, in the presence of biochar, it would explain the rapid soil-building phenomenon that is terra preta (black earth).\n2015 is the International Year of Soils. This UN initiative encourages a timely focus upon the importance of the thin veil of topsoil that sustains us all in so many ways. The soil glue that stabilises topsoil is humus. We have lost two thirds of our humus as a result of industrial, extractive agriculture and it is now time to address that issue. The words \"human\" and \"humus\" mean the same thing. They mean \"of and for the earth\". If our core purpose is to nurture and sustain the precious soil that supports us, then we have strayed a little on our path. It is not too late to recognise that mistake and move forward to make this critically important year the turning point.",

It feels so far away, yet too close to finish things on time. This is why we went through a hotel for a package. We don\u2019t have to do a whole heck of a lot other than show up, dress, tux, and wedding party in tow. But this post isn\u2019t about my wedding. That will come later! After all, this blog was created for writing and travel.\nToday I want to talk about delegating. I\u2019ll be honest. When I\u2019m at home, I delegate almost everything to my fianc\u00e9. He\u2019s my future house husband and an artist. Between working my full time day job & going to school all while trying to break into freelance writing, I really don\u2019t have a lot of time. I don\u2019t like housework to begin with and I am extremely fortunate to have it done for me.\nIt\u2019s when I\u2019m at work that delegating is an issue. I never realized this was a problem until I took personal development classes to be a manager, which turned out to be \u201cnot my thing.\u201d When it comes to my work, I\u2019ve always been a \u201cif you want it done right, you have to do it yourself\u201d type of person. I took on project after project after project. I had no way of keeping up with my regular work and extra tasks. Looking back now, this is one of the reasons I kept my position and didn\u2019t move into management. I much prefer these days to go into work, do my job, and leave.\nDelegating is important. We all have to do it in some area of our lives. Just make sure you delegate to people you trust, or you\u2019ll end up even more stressed than if you had just done the job yourself.\nThis week, try delegating a task just to see how it goes. Do you feel relieved? Stressed? Tell me about it in the comments!\nThe Hobbit: Book Review (kinda of spoilery if you live under a rock)\nJanuary 12, 2019 January 12, 2019 by krissimae4 Comments on The Hobbit: Book Review (kinda of spoilery if you live under a rock)\nLet me start this review by saying I tend to lean towards cheesy YA romance novels. I gravitate towards books out of my comfort zone from time to time. My Mom and Bonus-Dad started reading The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings when the Hobbit movies came out. He is a super fan. I wanted to read them then. I may have even tried. But truth be told, I was overcoming a toxic part of my life. I was defeating my inner Smaug if you will.\nSo, what prompted me to pick up The Hobbit again? Well, I\u2019m so glad you asked. I am going back to school at age 31 and taking a Tolkien/Lewis class & want to familiarize myself with the content before we start. Just call me Hermione Granger.\nNow, I was in a strange position where I\u2019d seen all three Hobbit movies multiple times, so I had a pretty clear idea of what to expect. But boy oh boy was there enough differences to keep me guessing.\nMost know the story of The Hobbit: half extrovert and half introvert goes on a year long trip with some dwarves to take back their home years after it\u2019s overtaken by the dragon Smaug. As far as adventure books go, I absolutely recommend.\nThere are so many positives to this book. It\u2019s a great example of comradery as well as overcoming adversity when you don\u2019t quite fit in. It exemplifies working as a team to overcome hardships and fight together to the very end.\nI believe it also teaches a money lesson, but if you haven\u2019t read the book, you\u2019ll have to do so to find out.\nIt did take me longer to get through than I thought it would. Tolkien has a unique writing style that is both simple and complex. Sentence structure has changed since The Hobbit was published in 1937. It\u2019s easy enough. It just take a bit longer to comprehend. But, what\u2019s the best way to get used to a reading style? Why, read more of it of course! Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring is next.\nAdditionally, be prepared to pay attention. Tolkien seems to change directions without transition pretty often. I definitely had to backtrack a few times.\nAs I end this review, I will say I completely adored the relationship between Bilbo and Thorin. These are two characters from two very different walks of life and while they may not necessarily like one another at the start, seeing that change back and forth was a treat and teaches it\u2019s readers about life. The same old lesson, never judge a book by it\u2019s cover.\nI\u2019d recommend this to anyone over a 5th grade reading levee that loves adventure books or liked the movies. They are very similar in so many ways, while so different in others.\nI give The Hobbit 4 stars. Tolkien is an excellent story teller, and as long as you have half an attention span, you\u2019ll find joy in the story.\nPlus, who doesn\u2019t need an excuse for a Hobbit marathon?\nNovember 6, 2018 November 6, 2018 by krissimaeLeave a Comment on Election Day.\nTomorrow, November 6th (maybe that\u2019t now today, depending on where you\u2019re at in the world) is Midterm Election Day here in the United States. While Midterm and Presidential elections are both important, this is quite possibly the most important Midterm election in the history of the country. Voting is your right, and at this point, it is your obligation. There are probably thousands of political arguments from every side of the octagon on any issue we face.\n\u201cIf you have time to whine and complain about something then you have the time to do something about it.\u201d Anthony J. D\u2019Angelo\nIt\u2019s time for as all to unite as a country. It\u2019s time to come out together as one to make tough decisions that make big differences to peoples lives.\nGet out there tomorrow and vote.\nRemember we\u2019re all people, and that\u2019s what matters.\nPhoto Credit: MyPostcard.com\nRemember no one is better than anyone else.\nYour opinion should not take away the right of others \u2013 the same rights you take for granted.\nRemember that children should not be separated from their parents except for cases of child endangerment.\nResearch shows More people vote in Presidential Elections than Midterms. Research also shows the 60+ crowd as having the highest voter turnout, and the 18-30 crows having the lowest. Less than 20% showed up for the PRESIDENTIAL election. So please. Tomorrow, get out there & vote. Then register to have early ballots sent to you so you can vote ahead of time & avoid the crowds.\nPhoto Credit: Fairvote.org\nNovember 3, 2018 by krissimaeLeave a Comment on College.\nHonestly, unless it involves graduation, this is a blog post subject reserved for youngsters \u2013 the 25 & under crowd if you will.\nA few months back I made the decision to return to school. My employer went beyond tuition reimbursement and began offering business degrees at no cost through select universities. I was over the moon with excitement. Dropping out of college is one of my biggest regrets, and after losing my Dad earlier this year, I promised myself I\u2019d find a way to become a college graduate. If not for me, for him.\nI went through the headaches everyone endures when returning to college. Applications. Transcripts. You name it. But I dealt with it because I was excited to once again be a college student. 30 of my community college credits transferred and I was left with a course list including math, chemistry, economics, statistics, and many other classes that meant nothing to me.\nThat\u2019s when I realized I wasn\u2019t at all excited to simply go back to school. I was excited for essays, short stories, and reading literature. I was excited for writing, and I wasn\u2019t going to get that with my free degree. I would get an education that almost guaranteed a fat sum in my bank account when it was all said and done. As nice as that would be, the thought of large amounts of money don\u2019t stimulate me the way they used to. I mean sure, who doesn\u2019t want six figures in their bank account?\nMe. If it means I have to wake up everyday and go to a job that doesn\u2019t bring me joy, I don\u2019t want it.\nMeanwhile, in the midst of these realizations, it dawned on me that I know exactly what I want to major in. I\u2019ve known since I was 16. English with emphasis on creative writing. There\u2019s a reason I attempt Nanowrimo every year. There\u2019s a reason I own no less than 5 writing prompt books and follow who knows how many writing blogs between WordPress and Tumblr.\nI\u2019m going on 31 years old & I\u2019m starting over. This next week I\u2019ll be in the admissions office declaring my major, just like I did at 21. Only this time, I\u2019m being true to myself.\nI\u2019ll be 31 by the time classes start, and I refuse to let that scare me. You know what\u2019s scarier than returning to college in your 30\u2019s? Waking up in your 60\u2019s and realizing you sold yourself short.\nI suppose I should really start putting effort into these Bujo spreads. They\u2019ll be my saving grace when January rolls around.\nSeptember 18, 2018 November 4, 2018 by krissimaeLeave a Comment on Book Review: Turtles All The Way Down\nLet me start this review by stating John Greens latest novel Turtles All The Way Down is the best book I\u2019ve read in years. The last time a book demanded my undivided attention is all but a distant memory. It was probably Harry Potter or Twilight. Yes, I am that person.\nAll of Johns novels have the power to pull me out of a reading slump, but this is by far my favorite of his works. The story follows OCD ridden AZA & her fan fiction writing best friend Daisy and their journey to find missing billionaire Russell Pickett, all in exchange for a hefty $100,000 reward. Along her journey, Aza is reunited with childhood acquaintance Davis Pickett, son of the missing billionaire she seeks. If you\u2019ve read any of Johns precious books, you know he writes in a way that is very clear and easy to follow. While Turtles All The Way Down focuses on mental illness and other serious issues that plague the human race every day, clarity is not sacrificed. Like most of his works, I blew through this book in under two days.\nOne of the things I love so much about Turtles All The Way Down is how relatable it is. The story includes coping mechanisms for death and grief, poverty & social class, mental health, specifically Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and anxiety, absentee parents, poetry and literature, and even a tuatara. John writes of these in a way that seems relatable. Even the rich kids are relatable to someone who has never been gifted financially, all because there is not a single character in this book who has a perfect cookie cutter life. Everyone has something, but no one has it all. And that\u2019s real life, for the most part.\nThe synopsis will tell you, just as I have in this review that this story is about two best friends on a journey to find a missing rich man, but it\u2019s so much more than that. Yes, that is a piece of the story, but it\u2019s such a small piece. This is a book about a girl and her struggle to cope with everyday life while struggling with OCD. It\u2019s about the struggle of a girl with damn near perfect mental health who comes from a poor family and watches other people, who claim to be poor, drive up in their cars and google things on laptops instead of smart phones. It\u2019s about a boy who does his best to be there for his brother and his abandonment issues when their father goes missing, all the while feeling incompetent and dealing with the same issues himself. It\u2019s a story about a widow who walks through life terrified she will lose the only person she has left in the world.\nThis is a story about real life and real problems, and I recommend it to everyone.\nBook Review: Slaughterhouse Five\nSeptember 18, 2018 by krissimaeLeave a Comment on Book Review: Slaughterhouse Five\nHaving read a few spoiler free reviews of Slaughterhouse-Five prior to reading the book itself, I had an idea of what I was getting myself into. A story of war, death, capture, PTSD, and\u2026alien invasion? I hold myself to a goal this year: read 12 classics. This is the first, and I can honestly say I\u2019m at a loss as to how I should review this. Slaughterhouse-Five is the first I\u2019ve read of Vonnegut, though certainly not the last. Vonnegut writes with such raw emotion, it\u2019s not something I\u2019ve experienced in this capacity. This isn\u2019t to say my favorite authors such as JK Rowling, John Green, and Rainbow Rowell do not write in the same fashion. But, something about writing in such a way about war and death for events Vonnegut was individually present for leaves a different taste in my mouth. Slaughterhouse-Five has it all. It is a story that takes its reader as high as outer space, inside a flying saucer, and as low as corpse mines in the aftermath of the desolation of Dresden. It illustrates perfectly what happens when we as humans make mistakes and screw up, both on small and large scales. Many of the situations we find ourselves in are due to ignorance, stupidity, and shameless pride. The same can be said of the causes of war. Labeled as anti-war, this is a touchy subject when it comes to this book in particular. There are hundreds of reviews about this topic. Some say the book is pro war, and others defend the book, claiming it is in fact anti war. My opinion on this is simple. It\u2019s neither pro war nor anti war. This book tells the truth about the ugly side of war: running around with people who despise you, having your shoes stolen, being forced to sleep standing up, torture, starvation, sleep deprivation. The possibilities are endless and not something any living being should endure. Yet sadly this is the reality we face as long as we as humans turn to violence instead of communication. What I liked most about this book was that it made me question everything. What was reality, and what was fantasy? I still don\u2019t know. Obviously the story spoke to me. It took me places I\u2019d never been. So why the 3 Star review? I found some mild annoyances in the story. So it goes. I understand the point of placing this phrase after every death (which was a lot), but that didn\u2019t make it any less irritating. I didn\u2019t connect with any of the characters, except maybe Derby, and even that was only a few times. However, in a book about death and war, I\u2019m glad I can\u2019t relate. This review is all over the place, but compared to Slaughterhouse-Five, it\u2019s as organized as a Masters program thesis.\nBook Review: Paper Towns\nSeptember 18, 2018 September 18, 2018 by krissimaeLeave a Comment on Book Review: Paper Towns\nPaper Towns is John Green\u2019s third novel. Published in 2008, it followed Looking For Alaska and An Abundance of Katherine\u2019s. Having read a couple of John\u2019s works in the past, I had a pretty good idea of what I was getting myself into: great stories and characters I\u2019d fall in love with. In that sense, PaperTowns didn\u2019t disappoint. Nor did it disappoint in any other way.\nThe story follows Quentin who works tirelessly to find Margo, the girl next door he\u2019s known since he was a child. Already infamous for running away from home, Margo always leaves subtle clues behind, eluding to her whereabouts. Quentin can\u2019t seem to keep Margo off his mind after she insists he join her in an 11 phase excursion. When she disappears, he follows clues and his thoughts. He soon questions if she has disappeared for the sake of running away, or something more permenant.\nSome would argue this book was predictable, or seemed eerily similar to Looking For Alaska, and maybe that\u2019s true. But I chose to read this book specifically because I wanted something with the same feel as that particular novel. I absolutely adore this book. It\u2019s a short read at just 305 pages. It is also a page turner. I read the book, from start to finish in under two days. There\u2019s something about books being broken into parts that makes them seem shorter.\nI recommend this book to anyone who\u2019s looking for an unconventional love story with real feelings and emotion.\nI\u2019ve rated Paper Towns 4 stars. The ending did not invoke a strong emotional response. This is not to say the ending wasn\u2019t fitting for the story. It may invoke a response in other readers which it did not invoke in me, and that is the beauty of books.\nFollow Krissi Mae on WordPress.com",

In my latest December/January copy of French Architectural Digest I found a short article about her home with these images (only one is missing on their website, of Uniacke herself). I hadn't seen a photo of the roof terrace before - love the olive trees - so I had to share the house tour. After all, this is a beautiful home and I never get tired of viewing photos of it. It was of course Uniacke herself that designed her own home, but she collaborated with the Belgian architect and designer Vincent Van Duysen and it took them more than three years to complete the work.\nTom Mannion for French Architectural Digest N\u00b0113, December 2012/January 2013\nlabels: architecture \u00b7 landscaping, house tour, interior design, rose uniacke, vincent van duysen\nthis has to be the most stunning home I have seen in a long time. thanks for sharing :)\nLovely!

A pulmonary disease pioneer, he introduced the diagnostic method known as mediate auscultation and invented the device that no modern doctor can live without, the stethoscope.\nAfter earning a BS from his home state's University of South Dakota (1922) and a PhD in Physics from Yale University (1925), Ernest Orlando Lawrence joined the Physics faculty at the University of California at Berkeley (1927). Here, he soon invented one of the most essential apparatus of nuclear physics: the cyclotron (granted patent #1,948,384 in 1931).\nVehicle Turn Indicator & Full-Stop Signal\nIt wasn\u2019t an engineer, an auto mechanic, or a scientist who came up with two of the most indispensable early automobile innovations that are now included on every car today. Rather, it was a Hollywood starlet, Florence Lawrence, who created the first turn indicator as well as the full-stop signal activated by applying the footbrake.\nDavid Lennox was born in Detroit, Michigan on April 15, 1855. He was the son of an expert railroad mechanic, and it was clear early on that Lennox had inherited his father's mechanical ability.

Though scientists have developed a number of effective antibiotics to fight off harmful bacteria, many of these microscopic organisms have developed resistance to such medications. This, combined with the fact that developing antibiotic drugs is extremely expensive and resource-intensive for drug companies, means that the overall effectiveness of this class of medications could be poised to decline.\nBiofuel Advances\nBiologist, inventor, and engineer Lee Rybeck Lynd has devoted his career to developing processes for improving the feasibility of using biofuels as a mainstream, alternate energy source.",

But, in fact, many people try to circumvent the inheritance process by adding their legatees to the property deed.\nThe idea is that an heir won't have to jump through any legal hoops when the time comes since the house automatically goes to the surviving person on the deed. Actually, the legatee would be much better off if he or she were to receive the house in a will. This is because of a peculiarity in tax laws that consider the house to be a gift. Gifts valued at more than a certain amount are subject to a hefty tax. So, do your descendants a favor and put your house in a trust -- not in their name.",

Contact us today to find out more!\nNon-Invasive procedure to reduce excess inner thigh fat Lincolnshire\nInner thigh problem area\nDespite all your best intentions with relentless gym workouts and following a healthy diet, you may be left with stubborn excess fat that has accumulated around the inner thigh.\nAlthough you might be adapting a healthy approach with diet and exercise, both of which are certainly likely to help keep excess fat to a minimum, it may not quite be enough to combat the issue of wobbly inner-thighs \u2013 a renowned problem area in your desire for a toned and sculpted body.\nUnfortunately your frustration only increases when discovering that genetics can also play a part; after all, some people are more susceptible to extra fat cells simply because it is part of their genetic makeup.\nAlthough you have no control over your genes, it can be difficult to accept. Our inner thighs are an area you would like to take pride in showing off and, women in particular, may feel self-consious exposing them if they appear excessively fat.\nSurgery is an option but involves using invasive, often painful procedures that increase side effects and can be very expensive. Thankfully there is a non-invasive, safer alternative allowing you to undergo a body contouring treatment that is fast, effective and with minimal side effects.\nLipofreeze2u Lincolnshire procedure to reduce inner thigh fat\nUsing a non-surgical fat-freezing procedure Lincolnshire, also known as Cryolipolysis, treatment involves delivering controlled, cooling temperatures via an applicator to the area. Fat cells are sensitive to these near-freezing temperatures and become damaged. Eventually, the fat cells die and the body absorbs the destroyed cells. The procedure, which may be a little uncomfortable, is not painful.\nDuring the treatment you are fully awake and are able to read, listen to music, even have a nap! Anything you would normally do whilst resting! Due to the minimal side effects and less risks involved in this procedure, (in comparison to surgical options), this method is becoming increasingly popular, has a high level of success and aims to boost the confidence of both men and women that decide to use it to enhance the shape of their inner thighs and reduce the fat cells in this area.\nSide effects are minor and temporary and may include slight redness, swelling, tenderness, tingling, stinging and skin sensitivity at the site.\nWhilst you may not notice an instant change to the appearance of your inner thighs, do not be disheartened. The targeted fat cells that have been damaged using this controlled cooling method may take time to die. Most people notice changes within just a few days, however, the visual effects of this process can take weeks, even a few months, before the results are apparent.\nRecovery from the procedure is instant. You can return to work or whatever your normal routine is, as soon as your treatment is complete.",

Hanusa, D. A. Oren, K. S. Peindl, and K. L. Wisner.\nBACKGROUND: Bright light therapy was shown to be a promising treatment for depression during pregnancy in a recent open-label study. In an extension of this work, we report findings from a double-blind placebo-controlled pilot study.\nMETHOD: Ten pregnant women with DSM-IV major depressive disorder were randomly assigned from April 2000 to January 2002 to a 5-week clinical trial with either a 7000 lux (active) or 500 lux (placebo) light box. At the end of the randomized controlled trial, subjects had the option of continuing in a 5-week extension phase. The Structured Interview Guide for the Hamilton Depression Scale-Seasonal Affective Disorder Version was administered to assess changes in clinical status. Salivary melatonin was used to index circadian rhythm phase for comparison with antidepressant results.\nRESULTS: Although there was a small mean group advantage of active treatment throughout the randomized controlled trial, it was not statistically significant. However, in the longer 10-week trial, the presence of active versus placebo light produced a clear treatment effect (p =.001) with an effect size (0.43) similar to that seen in antidepressant drug trials. Successful treatment with bright light was associated with phase advances of the melatonin rhythm.\nCONCLUSION: These findings provide additional evidence for an active effect of bright light therapy for antepartum depression and underscore the need for an expanded randomized clinical trial.",

A.\nLian, L. Y.\nCitation: Nucleic Acids Research, 2012, 40 (7), pp. 3232-3244\nAbstract: SRSF2 is a prototypical SR protein which plays important roles in the alternative splicing of pre-mRNA. It has been shown to be involved in regulatory pathways for maintaining genomic stability and play important roles in regulating key receptors in the heart. We report here the solution structure of the RNA recognition motifs (RRM) domain of free human SRSF2 (residues 9-101). Compared with other members of the SR protein family, SRSF2 structure has a longer L3 loop region. The conserved aromatic residue in the RNP2 motif is absent in SRSF2. Calorimetric titration shows that the RNA sequence 5'AGCAGAGUA3' binds SRSF2 with a K(d) of 61 \u00b1 1 nM and a 1:1 stoichiometry. NMR and mutagenesis experiments reveal that for SFSF2, the canonical \u03b21 and \u03b23 interactions are themselves not sufficient for effective RNA binding; the additional loop L3 is crucial for RNA complex formation. A comparison is made between the structures of SRSF2-RNA complex with other known RNA complexes of SR proteins. We conclude that interactions involving the L3 loop, N- and C-termini of the RRM domain are collectively important for determining selectivity between the protein and RNA.\nDOI Link: 10.1093/nar/gkr1164\nhttp://nar.oxfordjournals.org/content/40/7/3232\nRights: Copyright \u00a9 The Author(s) 2011.

        "raw_content": "Mental Health Act 2009 (SA)\nHow is Mental Health Treated?\nRights of People with a Mental Illness\nMost South Australians who have a mental illness are treated privately and the patient and the treating health care professional discuss and reach agreement concerning the treatment and care services to be provided to the patient.\nFor a minority of people with a psychiatric condition, their illness can affect their capacity to understand the illness and their capacity to discuss their condition with a treating doctor. Their behaviour may also be self-injurious or dangerous to others. The Mental Health Act 2009 (SA) provides the legal basis for the involuntary treatment and care of this minority of patients. All references in this chapter are to this Act unless otherwise stated.\nThe Act is designed to protect the autonomy and liberty of the mentally ill and emphasises the need for the least restrictive approach to any treatment. There is also an emphasis on recognising the role of the family and carers in the treatment, the sharing of information and the preparation of Treatment and Care Plans. The aim of the Act is to bring about recovery, as far as possible, whilst retaining freedom, legal rights, dignity and self respect as far as is consistent with the protection of the mentally ill and the community [see Rights of people with a mental illness].\nIt is generally accepted that involuntary admission to a specialist psychiatric hospital for emergency, short-term or long-term care should be used only where community-based care is judged as insufficient to meet the person's health care needs or where the admission is absolutely necessary to protect the person or other people.\nMental Health Act 2009 (SA) : Last Revised: Fri Jun 2nd 2017",

        "raw_content": "Russian Speech Challenge (Objective: Survive 7 Minutes)\nWhen was the last time you challenged yourself? That the goal you set for yourself was way above your current skill level? That, many times along the way, you wanted to give up? How did it happen? What kept you going? What did you learn in the end?\nAs Toastmasters Club Growth Director in the Wild East of Europe, I\u2019m responsible for creation of new clubs. I can\u2019t create all of them alone. So sometimes, I try to nudge people to create clubs of their own.As Toastmasters Club Growth Director in the Wild East of Europe, I\u2019m responsible for creation of new clubs. I can\u2019t create all of them alone. So sometimes, I try to nudge people to create clubs of their own.\nI was meeting Kate, the president of Prague\u2019s University of Economics Toastmasters club. Kate doubled her club\u2019s membership in the past few weeks \u2013 from 8 to 16 \u2013 and now she was telling me what she was planning to do next. About ten minutes into the conversation, an idea struck me.\n\u201cKate, how about starting a Russian speaking club here in Prague?\u201d\nKate frowned. \u201cAs long as it\u2019s not me doing it. But you know what Lukas? Maybe Sasha can do it!\u201d\nSasha! Arguably the most cheerful person among Prague\u2019s Toastmasters. Her enthusiasm is hard to match. But\u2026\n\u201cBut Sasha is in Arizona till the end of the year\u2026\u201d I replied.\n\u201cYeah, but she can do it once she\u2019s back!\u201d\nI doubted she would be up for it. Half of the world away, there were probably one thousand and one other things on her mind other than a Russian speaking Toastmasters club in Prague. However, as Madonna puts it: \u201cA lot of people are afraid to say what they want. That\u2019s why they don\u2019t get what they want.\u201d\nI took out my phone. It was late in the afternoon in Prague, so it was already daytime in Arizona. Sasha was online.\n\u201cHi Sasha. Kate just came up with an idea for you.\u201d\n\u201cHi Lukas, what idea? Should I be scared?!\u201d\nI showed the phone to Kate. Now we had Sasha\u2019s attention. I smiled and put the phone back to my pocket for dramatic effect. Too impatient to make this last more than a minute, I took it out again. I explained Sasha the idea: She should organize a Russian club demo meeting. The messenger app showed that Sasha was typing.\n\u201cGo to hell\u201d, was the response I expected. But a chat bubble appeared that gave me a surprise.\nI was taken aback. I got a \u201cYes\u201d with no struggle at all. This made me do something for which I would later curse myself. I added: \u201cI\u2019ll take my Russian to a level when I can give a speech at the demo meeting.\u201d\n\u201c\u041e\u0442\u043b\u0438\u0447\u043d\u043e!\u201d Sasha replied. This was where my trouble started.\nTaking Russian to a level at which I would be able to give a speech might not be so intimidating \u2013 if I actually did speak any Russian. Well \u2013 I didn\u2019t. I had been learning Russian for about a year some time ago, but because I had never really needed it, my learning was not that intensive. I could read. I could understand. I could definitely not give a presentation.\n\u201cLet\u2019s worry about that later\u201d, I thought. Who knows whether Sasha would organize anything. And if she would, it could take her half a year to put everything together. There was still time.\nI received an email that summarized outcomes of a meeting Sasha \u2013 now back in Prague \u2013 organized.\nHere is what we have discussed today:\nDemo meeting in Russian will be either on Wednesday, March 7th or on Sunday, March 11th. (\u2026)\n(\u2026) We are honored to offer you a role of the speaker. (\u2026)\u201d\nShe was making progress. Unlike me with my Russian. Somehow this got out of hand. But I can\u2019t really say \u201cNo\u201d to the offer of giving a speech, can I? With that on my mind, I did something everyone in my place would do.\nI procrastinated.\nWednesday, February 28th (one week before the demo meeting)\nThe discomfort created by the probability of total failure had just surpassed the discomfort created by attempting to deal with the problem. I chose one of the last speeches I gave in English. I made a few edits and sent it to my friend Anna from Kiev, asking her to translate it. She responded in 30 minutes \u2013 with the translation attached.\n\u201cYou\u2019re fast!\u201d\n\u201cGoogle Translate is fast.\u201d\nI wondered whether the English-Russian translations of Google Translate were a lot better than the English-Czech ones. I decided not to take risks and sent the speech to another friend of mine. Elina apparently did not plan to use Google Translate. She said the speech would be ready on Saturday. Now what? Now I wait. A little waiting never killed nobody.\nI was on a trip to Slovenia and Croatia. Enforcing connections between local Toastmasters clubs and the District. I noticed the email with the translation from Elina arrived (Anna had sent her updated non-Google Translate version the day before too). The bus ride at lunchtime from Ljubljana to Zagreb was a perfect moment to start \u2013 there was nothing else to do on the bus anyway. I read through the speech a couple of times. Of course, it was written in Cyrillic letters. Even reading was a challenge. \u201cThis is going to be interesting.\u201d\nIn the evening, I cut the sightseeing in Zagreb short to save some time for speech learning. I sat down with the script. I tried. I struggled. I cursed. I came to the conclusion that maybe the best would be if I just called it off and asked Sasha to get someone else to do it. I decided to text her. Tomorrow.\n8:40am. After having a cup of filtered coffee in Zagreb\u2019s Eli\u2019s Caffe, I was heading back to my rented apartment where I planned to work today. The time had come to show my colors. I opened the Messenger.\n\u201cHi Sasha. For a few days now I am attacking the speech in Russian \u2013 and I admit defeat. It won\u2019t be good enough for a demo meeting. Is there somebody else who could do the speech instead of me?\u201d\nSometimes, people take hours to respond to a message. Sometimes even a whole day. Sasha replies within 30 seconds.\n\u201cThat is very bad news for a Monday morning. I don\u2019t know of anyone who could replace you and honestly, there is not enough time to look for someone. I\u2019ll ask. You can also try to find a replacement for yourself.\u201d\nThe mood of the day just darkened. All my fault.\nI could think of only one person who could save me. My friend Olga.\n\u201cOlga, a quick question.\u201d I type. \u201cI found out I won\u2019t be able to make my Russian speech good enough,\u201d (that is an understatement of reality which is that at the moment I can\u2019t remember a single sentence) \u201cwould you be able to give it?\u201d\nOlga\u2019s didn\u2019t say \u201cNo.\u201d She said something worse.\n\u201cLukas, if only you told me on Friday! From now, I don\u2019t have a free moment until Wednesday. I won\u2019t be able to prepare anything.\u201d\n\u201cBut Lukas, try it! You can do it.\u201d For a moment I thought how nice it was to have friends who believed in you. Then she added: \u201cNobody expects much from you anyway.\u201d\nI laughed. Well, that may be the case. During the morning, I gave it some more thought. Sasha put the meeting together. If I backed out now, I would not deliver my part of the deal. There was simple no way I could look at myself in the mirror after doing that.\nFinal decision: I would give the speech in Russian, or I would die trying.\nAt lunchtime I texted Sasha: \u201cHey. You know what? I\u2019ll do it.\u201d\nFrom this point, there was no way back.\nOn Tuesday, I had a day off from work. After a breakfast with Vanja, a friend whom I had not seen for 8 years, I went back to my Zagreb apartment. I used the last hour before checkout to download Anki Mobile (and paying insane $25 for it). I broke the translated speech into sentences and created flashcards, one sentence per flashcard. I ended up at number 80. Suddenly, the task did not seem to be so impossible anymore. All I needed to do was to memorize 80 sentences in Russian and repeat them on Wednesday evening. Preferably in the correct order.\nAt 11am I left the apartment. No sightseeing for me today. I spent the rest of my time in Zagreb memorizing sentences in Russian. And I spent my time on the night bus to Prague listening to the speech Kate recorded for me \u2013 and repeating after the recording. At 11pm I wished it was all over, while at the same time, I wished I had more time to prepare.\nAmerican scientists say that sleep is important for memory. At 5:00am, I wake up on board of a FlixBus, approaching Prague. I swear that the next time I give a speech in a language I don\u2019t speak, I would make sure I sleep in my bed. But let\u2019s think about that tomorrow. Today, I just had to survive the speech.\nIn the evening, I arrived to the University of Economics. Large lecture hall. The audience: 30 native Russian speaker and Ondra, Czech guy who spent 6 months in Moscow. The meeting started. Ariadna, the host of the meeting (or, in our jargon, the Toastmaster) introduced me and I received the usual round of \u201cwelcome to the stage\u201d applause. I looked at the faces. Some of them knew me. They seemed to be genuinely surprised that I was going to speak in Russian. Some of them didn\u2019t know me. They seemed to be genuinely surprised that it took me so long to start speaking.\nI took a breath and with the words \u201cBylo-li u vas takoe\u2026\u201d I said the opening sentence of my speech. I pronounced the last word of the sentence and then\u2026\nI forgot what came next. And because I did not have the vocabulary to improvise \u2013 I could not continue.\nOver the past 6 years in Toastmasters, I had seen about two hundred icebreakers \u2013 first-time speeches. Some of those speakers were speaking like pros. Some struggled. A few \u2013 three or four \u2013 froze in the middle of their speech, and went silent for ten, twenty or thirty seconds.\nI always wondered: \u201cWhat is running through their heads right now?\u201d\nStanding there, frozen and helpless, I felt like a little child. I wished I had a magical ring \u2013 like Bilbo Baggins. A ring that I would put on my finger and make myself invisible. I looked up at the faces of the people in the audience. I saw a mix of pity, curiosity and, surprisingly, encouragement. What did I get myself into?\nLuckily, I capitalized on my years of speaking experience during the preparation. I had a solution of last resort.\nBefore the meeting, I printed the whole script in big letters and clipped it to a writing pad, which I brought to the stage. Now was the time to use it. I took the pad and began to read. I struggled a bit even with reading, but it was a lot better than silence. After 30 seconds, I was able to calm down. I put the pad down and continued \u2013 for the most of the speech \u2013 with my own words. Five minutes later, I came to the closing phrase. The final words came to me easily. Having finished, I smiled at the audience and turned to Ariadna.\nI received a thunderous applause (well, as thunderous as a group of 31 people can give). Sasha, who was my evaluator \u2013 said that she was looking forward to seeing my next speech in Russian. And during the break, I got some handshakes, hugs and compliments on my\u2026 courage.\nFor the rest of the evening I was flying high on a wave of endorphins. I survived. And that was, what all this was about.\nLooking back, I got a few takeaways from my Russian Speech Episode.\n1. Challenged, you will find new ways\nIt\u2019s been a long time since I stretched my skills this much. On the Wednesday, one week before the speech, it seemed to be an impossible task. Because of that, I had to look for extraordinary measures to get it done. I had to ask friends for translations. I had to ask friends to read and record the speech for me. I had to download and learn to work with a flashcard app (something I considered doing for a few years already, but never got the real motivation for it). For a day, I had to drop everything else and focus only on learning the speech. Striving for something close to impossible pushed me to look for extraordinary means to achieving it. I have to do this more often.\n2. If you want to understand, walk in their shoes\nNow I got way better understanding for the people who are really nervous when they are asked to give a presentation. For me, to give a presentation in English or in Czech is as easy as brushing my teeth. But standing in front of 30 people, having to speak in a language I did not master \u2013 I felt scared, weak and defenseless. Now I know what it feels like having all the eyes in the room on you and not being able to utter a single word. The more I will be eager to help anyone who needs it.\n3. The right people will push you to do more\nI realized how important it is to be surrounded by people who push you to give your best. Sasha did not express her doubt about me being able to give a speech in Russian (even though she had never heard me speak it). Olga told me it would be best if I gave it a try even when I wanted to give up. And everyone in the room gave me a supportive applause when I finished \u2013 even though I\u2019m fully aware it was more for the courage to try than for the performance itself. Having those people in my life, I am eager to seek future challenges. And being (again) made aware how important this is \u2013 I will be eager to give such support to someone who will seek it.\nThis entry was posted in Toastmasters and tagged Challenge, Fear, Toastmasters.

        "raw_content": "Another English \"language\" that confuses non English speakers and makes translations very difficult?\nI'm not sure exactly what to call this \"language\" exactly but I've noticed this happening A LOT in the country music category from the United States of America (my own country). A popular country song gets found by somebody but they want it translated into let's say Tagalog for example or Spanish. The translation request gets sent in and... Never gets answered even after 9 years had past. If the person who had sent the request was still on LT at 9 years, I'm sure they would feel pretty disappointed that their request never got answered and may never want to send out another request again. But in reality, people on LT had tried to translate it but they did not understand the English used in it therefore it ended up not being able to be translated because the English is considered \"improper\" or just considered \"what the **** is this!?\". I noticed this happening while I was adding song lyrics to people who were in the country music category. I've heard people call this English language\" \"Old West\", \" Cowboy Talk\", \"Western Slang\" among others but I'm still not sure personally what to call it because in many ways, it's like a language of its own.\nCan anybody think of an example or something?\nYou're referring to language that's often used in country music, like with a southern drawl? Like how they would say things in the southern states? I can't think of a specific song, but I do know what you mean.\nIf so, I think maybe that would be more like a regional dialect than a separate language. Although it does have its own grammar and vernacular. Hip hop and rap also have their own grammar and vernacular.\nI think it would be hard to translate unless the translator is familiar with the dialect.\nYeah something like that! And yes how they would say it in the southern states (maybe even in some Mid Western states too). Yes I agree with you on... The rest of what you had said xD\nI wasn't sure exactly what to call it even though I'm VERY familiar with the \"language\".\nYeah, I think it would be a dialect and I'm actually kind of surprised this site doesn't have different dialects for English. Because British English is different than what we speak here in the US, and as you said, even different parts of the US use different dialects. And it can be difficult to understand certain dialects if people aren't familiar with them!\nAgreed! At first I thought \"Old English\" was the southern English that we had just mentioned but when I looked at other people's lyrics in \"Old English\" I was like \"Opps! I guess that wasn't what I was thinking of after all!\"\nEditor in search of Anningan & Malina\nI think the problem is that a Brit can understand a song in American English, so there aren't many reasons to have two distinct categories for that. Some words are different across the pond, but a quick Google research is enough.\nThing is, English is a very widespread language. If we were to add all the dialects of English, it would just get messy. Even just adding the most spoken ones. Remember that the UK alone has more than half of the dialects of English spoken in the whole world.\nIt would be better to just have a category for those dialects of English that are less understood like Jamaican English, which already has a separate category. Distinguishing American, British, Australian and New Zealand's English (just to name a few) into different categories when the differences are subtle and not always present isn't the wisest idea.\nI agree with DarkJoshua.\nThere are countless regional variants in American English alone. Language, slang and vernacular expressions also change with time.\nSailor PokeMoon2 , I'm an American from the Southern part of the country. Send me a PM if you have a specific question, I'll help if I can.\nWe have categories for some dialects of English: Scots, Jamaican, and the creoles of Bislama and Tok Pisin.\nWhile I'm not very knowledgeable in the dialectology of English, if there are other dialects of it in which we have texts and which differ from standard English in a similar degree, there would be no reason not to add a category.\nIt is just what you called it at first: Country...Country dialect...\nI think it is good, if possible, to put footnotes into the lyrics to help people from other parts of the world who may not know American English phrases from the 30s or 50s or 70s, or from certain regions. It's good to try to imagine someone from another country trying to understand the song. They may not yet know popular idioms, either.\nhttps://lyricstranslate.com/en/harry-connick-jr-im-old-cowhand-lyrics.html\nhttps://lyricstranslate.com/en/stevie-wonder-uptight-everythings-allrigh...\nhttps://lyricstranslate.com/en/sam-cooke-chain-gang-lyrics.html\nhttps://lyricstranslate.com/en/sparks-cool-places-lyrics.html\nhttps://lyricstranslate.com/en/bing-crosby-and-louis-armstrong-gone-fish...\nSciera's comment \"created a monster\" (me, sorry!)\nChristina Morris wrote:\nPretty sure there are other terms for it used more commonly by linguists...\nBreezyDay wrote:\nI think it is good, if possible, to put footnotes into the lyrics to help people from other parts of the world who may not know American English phrases from the 30s or 50s or 70s, or from certain regions. https://lyricstranslate.com/en/harry-connick-jr-im-old-cowhand-lyrics.html\nThat's certainly a good idea. We may add footnotes for anything that may need explanation, so why not also for currently unusual terms.\nOf course, as Sailor PokeMoon2 brought out, sometimes NO ONE can understand the lyrics, not even someone native to the region, and you can only guess. The same is true in any language or genre.\n\u03d5\u03b9\u03bb\u03bf\u03bc\u03b1\u03b8\u1f75\u03c2, I might need your help some day too. Thanks for coming forward.\nI stumbled across this website one day. Maybe it will be useful. http://www.amiright.com/misheard/lyrics/country-w.shtml\nAlso every state inside the U.S. has a different accent in the way they speak English too.\nPhil Ambro\nWithin the USA, the absolute worst dialect is Southern Creole, spoken in the bayous of Louisiana. It's a French-English bastardization, lost in time. It's so bad, that whenever one such person appears on TV in the USA, they have to use subtitles, because practically no one in the USA can understand this dialect. As for the Southern dialects across the USA, some are stronger than others. And, as small towns die, and more people move to the cities, these dialects are becoming more \"normalized\", because it is VERY HARD to get a job, if you have a strong Southern dialect for two main reasons. First, some people will not be able to understand you, and jobs like clear communication. But, also, secondly, there is generally the prejudice view that people who speak with strong Southern accents have received a substandard education. And as such, many people will automatically discriminate against someone who has a strong Southern accent, just because they think that they are stupid. This is of course, not true. But prejudice and stereotypes exist everywhere. At least, I'll tell you the truth. As for me, I can speak and understand the Southern accent, so I don't understand when people have problems with it. But, I do admit they say some confusing things sometimes. They have sayings that aren't common elsewhere. My favorite is \"Bless her heart!\" which normally means \"She's one stupid bitch.\" (LOL) I also speak \"proper\" American English (like on the TV). But, I can't understand some British accents, so I get how they might have problems with ours.\ndepends on the speaker as to what the idiom; bless her heart means...it is not always sarcasm either.\nWe have a LOT of songs that people write MISHEARD lyrics to. Some are quite funny. Normally it's a British person trying to understand an American song, or vice versa. Australians thought the Go-Go's song \"Our Lips Are Sealed\" was \"Alex the Seal\". Sometimes the accents make for huge mistakes and hilarious results happen. The best I can remember is a song that was sung with a STRONG British dialect called \"Come on Eileen\". Practically no one in the USA could understand what he was singing, and here's the result. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJ-agcLs7Y8 Enjoy!\nPhil Ambro wrote:\nWithin the USA, the absolute worst dialect is Southern Creole, spoken in the bayous of Louisiana.

It's so bad, that whenever one such person appears on TV in the USA, they have to use subtitles, because practically no one in the USA can understand this dialect.\nThat's why I do think this particular dialect is different, as opposed to British English, which is different but we can understand it. Because you're right, when I watch a show on TV with this dialect, I have to use subtitles even though I'm American.\nI remember a radio spot that had an American singing Chumbawamba's 'Tubthumping'. The true lyrics are: \"I get knocked down, but I get up again.\" In the commercial, it was sung as \"I got knocked down, by an elephant\".\nI know that. That's why I said, \"normally\". And, as for sarcasm. I have noticed that a LOT of people in the South don't get sarcasm very much. Instead they use cute Southern sayings (which I guess are sarcasm). But, for some reason, they don't get California \"when monkeys fly out my butt\" type sarcasm. Which I said once in Texas, when someone said, \"That's stupid! Monkeys don't fly!\" I died laughing. It became even more funny to me, that he never thought it was weird that monkeys might be up my butt to begin with. LOL.\nhttps://youtu.be/FOEwO58a_w8 ha ha this is sound but it still really illustrates our points lol\nBoth videos are awesome! Thanks!!\nBy an elephant!? \ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02\nSo the legend that the Japanese cannot pronounce the \"r\"s is not a legend.\nReminds me that old joke about early automatic translation attempts. A Soviet computer was given the sentence \"The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak\" and it answered : \"The vodka is strong, but the meat is rotten\". I never knew if it was a true story or not.\nThere are so many English dialects. :s\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dialects_of_English\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English-based_creole_language\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_English-based_pidgins\nCountry music... Maybe Texan English?\nDarkJoshua even if there are few differences, I find it very interesting but you're right it would just get messy.\nAnd here: Learn Japanglish with this song.\nEnglish isn\u2019t my first language, so please excuse any mistakes. (Are there any mistakes? xd)\nJust a few minor punctuation mistakes. I'm a native speaker and I make the same mistakes for the same reason. You're very clear and you sound fluent.\n\ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02 that is so funny though!\nOpps I'm sorry if I had accidentally opened up a can of worms. \ud83d\ude2b\nWhen I had started this discussion it was after I had read some of the things from this website. Where I live which is a Midwest state in the USA called Indiana (I live in northern Indiana) we still use some of these terms and phrases but it seems like people from Kentucky use more of them though. I'm mentioning Kentucky because my dad's side of the family came from there and it's not uncommon for somebody to come all the way from Kentucky to Northern Indiana either. Read up! There's a lot to read! : https://www.legendsofamerica.com/we-slang/9/\nMeanwhile I'm gonna git b'fore somebody tells me to go boil my shirt!\nGit along little dogie!",

        "raw_content": "Last year was significant for the Austrian wine industry \u2013 roaring exports and some new, fresh, quality-oriented initiatives. Christian Davis reports\nAustrian wine has come a long way since the diethylene glycol scandal back in 1985. Austrian wine producers, understandably, hate references to it. But Willi Klinger, managing director of the Austrian Wine Marketing Board, in announcing record export figures for 2014, referred to it at a press conference at the recent Prowein exhibition. It bears resurrecting if nothing else than to show just how far Austrian wine has come since then.\nSo what was the diethylene glycol wine scandal? Firstly, it is important to stress that no one died, no one was hurt \u2013 unlike similar adulterations involving the likes of olive oil.\nBasically a number of Austrian wineries adulterated their wines using diethylene glycol, an ingredient in some brands of antifreeze, to make them sweeter and more full-bodied in the style of late harvest wines. Many of these wines were exported to Germany, some of them in bulk to be bottled at large-scale German bottling facilities.\nAt these facilities, some Austrian wines were illegally blended into German wines by the importers, resulting in diethylene glycol ending up in some bulk-bottled German wines as well.\nThe scandal made headlines around the world. The affected wines were withdrawn and a number of people involved were sentenced to prison or heavy fines in Austria and Germany.\nThe short-term effect of the scandal was a complete collapse of Austrian wine exports and a total loss of reputation of the Austrian wine industry.\nIt has taken the country a long time to recover but the long-term effect has been that the industry has focused on other wine types \u2013 primarily dry white wines instead of sweet wines \u2013 and increasingly targeted a higher market segment.\nIn announcing export sales of \u20ac146m for 2014 \u2013 the ninth consecutive increase \u2013 Klinger made a point of stressing that not only was there a 6% increase in quantity but also a 5% increase in value. The average price per litre has gone from \u20ac0.83 in 2003 to \u20ac2.93 last year. Thus, significantly, Austria continues to move away from cheap, jug (bulk) wine, particularly to its main export market, Germany.\nGermany remains Austria\u2019s principal export market with a 55% value share (+5% volume and nearly +3% value). Switzerland is second: volume +8% and a high price per litre of \u20ac6. The US saw volume up 18% and value up 15%. The board also reports export growth in the Netherlands, Belgium, Scandinavia, UK and China.\nKlinger says: \u201cIn all these countries, we have made it through consistent efforts to build efficient distribution. These counties shall continue to grow, adding to the main export markets and will certainly play an increasingly important role in the future. This will bring us closer to our goal of an export value of more than \u00c4180m.\nAustria has also seen growth in Italy, Slovakia, Poland, Croatia, Bulgaria, Romania and the Baltic countries, Canada, Australia and Japan.",

        "raw_content": "2004: The Retrospective\nSo. Let's get the truth out of the way here, up front and discreetly: 2004, for me, really, really, really sucked. I lost some good friends, lost a good job, had to put my career on hold, had to deal with being unemployed for rather longer than was comfortable, and found out things about myself that I would rather not have known.\n(Before this year, I never understood why kallah had such dislike for teenagers. Now, I understand quite, quite well.)\nI have seldom known a year full of such bad luck. In fact, the last time I had a year like this was back in '97.\nHowever, the year after that (1998, for those of you who may not be keeping up), I had a lot of good things happen to me--chiefly, meeting apis_mellifera and moving out to Nebraska to make a fresh start. And so I'm holding on to the encouraging thought that maybe 2005 will work out for me in a similar way; particularly in the moving-somewhere-to-start-over department.\nI mean, let's be honest. There's nothing keeping me here in Nebraska anymore aside from lack of money. I have no reason to stay here, and plenty of reasons to move somewhere else. So, I've definitely decided to leave UNL and move out east and try my fortunes there. And this New Year's, when you're all drinking your toasts to auld lang syne and such... well, please spare me some good wishes that I'll be moved out east by this time next year.\nAnd while I may have lost friends this year, I've also received immense support from friends who were kind-hearted and loyal enough to stay by me, and I thank you all for that from the bottom of my heart. I hate that I have to leave you, those of you here in town, but I think we can all agree that this is for the best. (And I promise to have a going-away party, to which you are all invited when it actually ends up happening.) Besides, with Livejournal and instant messaging these days, it's not like nobody will ever hear from me again when I do leave.\n2004 was a year of changes that I didn't want, ask for, or welcome. For 2005, let it be a year of changes that I make myself, from my own desires.",

The stock's all-time high print is $134.54 and occurred on April 28, 2015.\nAccording to Milunovich, management has emphasized the importance of services the past year, however, the services business is still underappreciated by the market. If Apple services were valued similarly to PayPal, the stock would be at least 10% higher, according to the note.\nServices currently contribute profit that's greater than all non-iPhone segments combined, according to the Milunovich's team. Services like the App Store account for most of Apple's revenue and profit growth and Apple Music may turn into a broader content bundle.\nThe bank maintains a \"Buy\" rating and has a 12-month price target of $138.",

        "raw_content": "Today I want to tell you a story I\u2019ve never told anyone. A story I wasn\u2019t ready to tell anyone\u2026until now.\nThis is no ordinary selfie. This was one of those full-circle moments that I will never forget.\nThis pic was right before I left Ohio on Monday. Riley wanted to jump on the trampoline and talk one more time before I left\u2026and of course I couldn\u2019t say no to that request! (Let\u2019s be honest, I didn\u2019t say no to ANY requests that day\u2026cause I\u2019m a sucker\ud83d\ude1c)\nI only had about 10 more minutes, so we jumped for about 2 minutes and she showed me some of her tricks\u2026and then we spent the rest of the time laying on the trampoline, laughing hysterically (as we tend to do) and taking turns saying all the reasons we were happy or grateful that day.\nThat\u2019s something we used to do all the time when I lived there. Sounds like fun, right??\nBut if I\u2019m being honest, it all started out of absolute desperation.\nSee, I had this journal that said, \u201cThere are so many beautiful reasons to be happy.\u201d\nBut I was at a time in my life when \u201chappy\u201d was not the goal. As dramatic as it may sound, simply staying alive was the goal.\nI was fighting my way out of a deep, dark depression, and most days I felt like I was losing the fight. I was looking for anything I could hold onto\u2026any reason I could find to stay alive.\nI pulled out this journal one day, as I sat in my bedroom alone, and as my body shook and tears streamed down my face, I made the decision to fill the pages of this book with reasons to stay alive.\nOn the first page, I wrote this:\nThere are so many reasons to be alive. So many beautiful reasons to stay alive. To smile. To laugh. To breathe deep.\nSo many reasons to stop and savor the moment. To be present. To just be.\nThere are more reasons than you could ever count. Yet if you don\u2019t stop to notice these things, they are easy to miss.\nSo stop. Notice. Breathe. Enjoy. Savor. Stay alive.\nAnd when you forget all the beautiful reasons why, these pages are here to remind you.\nOn the second day, as I was writing in my journal (and the only things I could come up with for the day were\u2026 \u201cBecause scrambled eggs are delicious,\u201d and \u201cBecause sleep is a glorious thing,\u201d and \u201cBecause I have time to be bored.\u201d)\u2026\nI heard a knock on my door and a sweet 7-year-old voice saying, \u201cCan I come in?\u201d\nI smiled and opened the door, and Riley plopped down on my bed.\n\u201cWhatcha doing, Mar Bear?\u201d\nI froze for a second. I can\u2019t tell a 7-year-old that I\u2019m writing in a journal in an attempt to convince myself to stay alive\u2026\nI looked at the front of the journal: \u201cThere are so many beautiful reasons to be happy.\u201d\nI half-smiled. \u201cI\u2019m writing down allllll the reasons I can think of to be happy today.\u201d\nHer face lit up. \u201cCan I write some with you? We can do it together!\u201d\nSo we laid on my bed, listening to the Trolls soundtrack\ud83d\ude1c and passed this little journal back and forth, taking turns writing one reason we are happy.\nI won\u2019t lie\u2026I had to search. My heart raced. What if I couldn\u2019t come up with anything? What if I couldn\u2019t find a single reason to be happy today? I have a sweet 7-year-old girl sitting beside me, watching me.\nAs she wrote hers and passed it to me, I found a reason: \u201cBecause I get to hang out with Riley.\u201d\nWe spent 3 hours that day writing in our journal. We laughed so much, and we talked about life and love and happiness and the future.\nI hadn\u2019t felt hope like that in a long, LONG time.\nMy focus had changed. My goal had changed.\nWhat started just the day before as a meager attempt to find some reason to stay alive, had become a book full of reasons to be HAPPY\u2026reasons to LOVE life\u2026reasons to LAUGH\u2026reasons to let my guard down\u2026reasons to be in the moment.\nBut most of all, reasons to have HOPE.\nThat night, I texted Sommer, who was upstairs getting ready for bed. I said, \u201cHey, are you asleep? I need to give you something.\u201d\nA few minutes later, she was standing at my door. I opened the door, and without saying a word, I held out my shaking hand. In it were my last 2 knives. The pain and pressure of life had built up to the point where the only way I knew to deal with it was to hurt myself. The only way I could relieve that pressure was by dragging a blade across my skin. That was my strategy for staying alive until that day.\nBut that night, I made the decision that I was NOT going to lose this fight. I was tired of fighting just to stay alive. I wanted more. I wanted to be happy. I wanted to laugh freely. I wanted to live.\nRiley may never understand the impact she had on me in the 3 months I lived with her family.\nI began to look forward to those little knocks on my door. Chad (Riley\u2019s dad) often told her not to bother me or to give me space, but there was never a single day I was bothered by those knocks.\nSome days we colored or painted our nails and talked about our reasons to be happy. Some days we sat on the couch and wrote in our journal.\nBut we never ran out of reasons.\nSo Monday as Riley and I laid on the trampoline, taking turns saying all the reasons we could think of to be happy that day, I couldn\u2019t help but smile.\nBecause these days, my life is filled with beautiful reasons to be happy.\nI\u2019ve WON that battle, and I\u2019ve moved on to winning the next one. I\u2019m no longer fighting just to stay alive. I\u2019m happy. I laugh freely. I\u2019m ALIVE.\nAnd that is a gift.\nI wake up in the morning, filled with gratitude because I *GET* to be alive today.\nI smile just because I CAN.\nI laugh at the simplest things, just because laughing is my favorite.\nAnd if Riley Tucker wants to jump on the trampoline and talk about all the reasons we have to be happy today, then that\u2019s where you will find me.\nMarch 28, 2018 March 28, 2018 Addiction, happiness, hope, inspiration, life lessons, overcoming, self harm\nOne thought on \u201cThere Are So Many Beautiful Reasons To Be Happy\u201d\nThank you for sharing your story. You two have the brightest smiles there! \u2764\nPrevious Previous post: Clean & Easy Marinara Sauce",

        "raw_content": "BMW i Venture Fund Opens Incubator in NYC\nBMW is on a mission to finance location-based mobile apps. And yes, you read that right.\nThe premium car company launched a $100 million venture fund in February that is aimed at developing what it calls \"individual mobility solutions.\" On Thursday, it announced that it will open a startup incubator in Lower Manhattan.\nBMW i Ventures will focus on startup solutions that make it easier for individuals to navigate urban areas. Apps that crowdsource parking information or traffic conditions and apps that help consumers navigate multiple modes of transportation are some examples that fall in this category, said i Ventures Managing Director Alexander Diehl in a phone call.\nUnlike the $100 million venture fund that GM launched in July 2010, BMW is interested in financing solutions related to any form of transportation, whether that be car, bike, subway or walking. This might seem counterintuitive for a car company, but while BMW may not historically be interested in non-automotive transportation, many of its customers and potential customers in urban areas are.\n\"Urban environments are becoming more relevant to our consumers,\" explains Joerg Reimann, another managing director of the fund. \"We see services arising that are relevant for everyone that is part of the mobility game...Being part of the mobility playground, we have to be able to play on the service area as well as the product area.\"\nBMW has already made an effort to target city dwellers with a car sharing program that it announced in March, and the kind of startups that it plans to finance will likely increase its visibility among a similar crowd.\ni Venture's first investment of $5 million went to MyCityWay, a company that makes location-driven city guidebook apps. Those apps now include a \"powered by BMW i\" banner. Other apps funded by the company will include BMW advertising on a case-by-case basis.\nThe startup was a winner of the NYC BigApps competition, which challenges developers to create apps using city databases. This year, BMW is sponsoring the competition by matching the prize money in each app category.\nTopics: BigApps, BMW, funding, i Ventures, Startups",

She has developed curricular materials and instructional interventions for proof-oriented undergraduate mathematics courses such as advanced calculus, geometry, and mathematical proofs. She has conducted teaching experiments to implement these educational innovations for student-centered, inquiry-based, learning.

I have conducted research on discovering how undergraduate students develop their intuition and visual reasoning while learning definitions of limits and continuous functions. Using the knowledge gained from my research, I have developed educational innovations for mathematical logic, proving structures, and formal definitions of advanced calculus topics. My current research focuses on (1) students\u0019 interpretations of conditional statements with multiple quantifiers, which are frequently found in mathematics texts, (2) the role of informal reasoning, including intuitive understanding and visual reasoning, and the logical decision power, in learning the mathematical ideas and constructing mathematical arguments or proofs. I believe that students' development of mathematical intuition and mathematical logic would be foundational to advance undergraduate students' successful transition to the learning of advanced mathematics ideas.\nSellers, M., Roh, K., & David, E.

        "raw_content": "Electronic Paper and the Betamax Tape\nAs technology companies compete with each other, drive manufacturing costs down and put their marketing machines on full power, it\u2019s amazing how they can steer us away from technologies that are clearly better for specific tasks than others.\nWhen Apple launched the iPad, it made a big deal about the new iBook store and the iPad\u2019s use as an electronic reading device. Here\u2019s the marketing blurb on Apple\u2019s site\u2026\nReading on iPad is just like reading a book. You hold your iPad like a book. You flip the pages like a book. And you do it all with your hands \u2014 just like a book. The high-resolution, LED-backlit screen displays each page beautifully.\nThe iPad is an astounding piece of technology in many ways, but a good device for spending hours reading electronic books does not count among them, because of the backlit LCD display is uses.\nA few weeks ago, Samsung announced that it\u2019s backing out of the electronic ink panel production, instead to concentrate on LCD displays for their dedicated reading devices. Also, there are rumours of a smaller, cheaper iPad which no doubt will be designed to take a take some of Amazon Kindle\u2019s share of the eReader market. So, given the marketing power of Apple, and the likes of Samsung turning their back on the technology, the odds seem stacked against a bright future for electronic paper.\nElectronic paper displays mimic the high resolution and reflective quality of ink on paper. Compared to LCD technology:\nit is more energy efficient; battery life is on a scale of weeks rather hours, which surely preferable on a device meant to be read for hours on end\nit is much less bulky allowing comparably thinner and lighter devices\nit is more comfortable to read, not only because of its higher resolution, but because it reflects light like paper; the more light hitting the device, the more legible it becomes. The opposite is true for LCD displays like the iPad\u2019s (not helped by its glossy screen). After all, it\u2019s much easier to control light on a device when it needs illuminating in a darkened room. When the situation is reversed, the light from that big fiery thing in the sky is not as easily controlled, and the brighter it is in relation to the LCD backlight, the harder it is to read.\nOf course, electronic ink displays aren\u2019t with out their issues. They are restricted to monochrome for a start. Then there\u2019s the glacially slow display refresh when interacting the device. For some people I\u2019ve spoken to this is a barrier to buying a device; for that brief second, the device looks broken, and in our Jobsian world of user experience perfection, that will never do.\nThere\u2019s the thorny issue of Digital Rights Management which seems to hang over the e-reader market like a grey cloud. I have issues with this but as this piece is about the merits of the display technology only, I\u2019ll leave that for a future post.\nThere\u2019s no argument that the iPad is a revolutionary device for consuming digital media, and its LCD display is ideal the multi-purpose nature of the device.\nNo doubt the next iteration of the iPad (and its rumoured smaller sibling) will have the much hyped \u2018Retina Display\u2019 but no matter much Jobs talks about pixel density, the reading experience will be inferior to that of electronic paper simply because of the necessity for a backlight.\nPermalink: https://mattjon.es/blog/2010/11/electronic-paper-and-the-betamax-tape/",

        "raw_content": "Home News\tA Bible for every home\nA Bible for every home\nNorman Brown (r) gives a Bible and MP3 player to a Mennonite in Santa Cruz, Bolivia.\nPhoto: Dorothy Brown\nNorman Brown\u2019s goal: to distribute the Plautdietsch (Low German) Bible free of charge to every home in Bolivia. Since Kindred Productions released De Bibel in 2003, the Winnipegger has handed out more than 8,000 copies.\nOne of the first Bolivian Mennonites to whom Brown gave a Plautdietsch Bible was a man who spent most of his time in bars while his wife struggled to provide for their family. When he accepted Jesus, \u201chis thirst switched to the Word of God, and he began to treat his family with love and respect,\u201d says Brown.\nBrown began ministering to Plautdietsch-speakers in 1994 when Power to Change (formerly Campus Crusade for Christ) placed him in charge of the newly translated Plautdietsch JESUS film. Brown and his wife Dorothy \u2013 who\u2019d both grown up with the language but hadn\u2019t spoken it for years \u2013 sensed God\u2019s call and began re-immersion by doing nightly devotions together in Plautdietsch.\nThe 75,000 Plautdietsch-speaking Mennonites living in 75 colonies in Bolivia are among the most traditional, travelling with horse and buggy and wearing straw hats and bib overalls. Their ancestors left Canada for Mexico in the 1920s. Lacking biblical training and fearing corruption from the world, when evangelical teaching came to Mexico, the most conservative Mennonites moved to the Chaco and East Paraguay and from there to Bolivia in 1953. While owning a Bible isn\u2019t prohibited, the colony leaders fear \u201ctoo much learning just confuses people,\u201d says Brown.\nPeter Friesen, Power to Change\u2019s ministry director in Bolivia, says the only way to get the gospel to the people is through Plautdietsch. Brown explains, \u201cMost of the Plautdietsch people only comprehend approximately 20 percent of what they read in German.\u201d Their children attend six years of school in German; then they are qualified to teach others. Brown compares their proficiency in German to the level of French in most Canadian children.\n\u201cThe need for Plautdietsch material cannot be overstated,\u201d says Brown.\nIn Bolivia, a man who\u2019d received a Bible six years earlier asked Brown to meet him. \u201cSince then, he\u2019d read it carefully every day, and just recently, he had understood that he needed to invite Jesus to be his Saviour.\u201d The man brought his questions (for which church leaders had excommunicated him), and the two searched Scripture together.\n\u201cNow, he prays daily for the leaders of the colony,\u201d says Brown, \u201cand he takes every opportunity to share the gospel with friends and neighbours.\u201d\nThe Plautdietsch translation was a joint project between the United Bible Society and Kindred Productions. To date, Kindred Productions has sold 27,118 Plautdietsch Bibles and 20,602 New Testaments.\nNorman Brown preaching in a market.\nBecause about 30 percent of Plautdietsch people in South America are functionally illiterate, Power to Change collaborates with Family Life Network to provide the New Testament on MP3 players. \u201cWe cannot meet the demand because the cost of producing it is still quite high,\u201d says Brown.\nBrown has made 20 trips to South America to show the JESUS film and distribute the Bibles, with Bolivia as his focus. He works through the local churches and missions, particularly Evangelical Free Church, the Evangelical Mennonite Mission Church and Trans World Radio.\nWhen someone accepts a Bible, Brown asks if they know whether they\u2019ll spend eternity with God, and if they could be sure, would they want to be. The answer to the latter is almost always \u201cyes.\u201d That opens the door to share Scriptures of assurance: \u201cWhoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life. I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life\u201d (1 John 5:12\u201313).\nSome say, \u201cThat is not the way we have it over here. We all hope to be saved one day,\u201d but the most common responses are \u201cWhere does it say that?\u201d and \u201cThat is very clear!\u201d\nA Bible for every home was last modified: December 28th, 2016 by Angeline Schellenberg\nBible translationBoliviaDe BibelMennoniteNorman BrownScripture\nMennonite World Conference PA 2015 opens with celebration,...\nDoes the Bible really have authority?",

        "title": "Police and banks working together prevent \u00a32million being stolen... - Sussex Police Media Centre",
        "raw_content": "A rapid response scheme by banks and local police prevented 353 potential victims in Sussex from being defrauded out of \u00a32million in 2018, new figures have revealed.\nThe Banking Protocol trains bank staff to spot when someone is about to fall victim to a scam and try to prevent them from withdrawing cash to give to a fraudster, after which they can request an immediate police response to the branch. A total of 19 arrests were made by Sussex Police last year through the initiative.\nThe 353 calls to Sussex Police in 2018 from banks and other financial institutions under the Banking Protocol, related to potential victims with an average age of 75. In each case police responded and succeeded in ensuring that the person did not hand any money over.\nThese interventions related to attempts at; courier fraud, rogue trading, romance fraud, software service, financial abuse by someone known to the person, and investment fraud. 19 arrests were made in 2018 from banking protocol alerts.\nLatest figures published by UK Finance reveal that across the country the scheme has prevented \u00a338 million of fraud and led to 231 arrests in 2018. The average age of a customer helped by the Banking Protocol nationally last year was 71, showing how fraudsters are often targeting more elderly victims with these types of scams.\nThe Banking Protocol was rolled out by Sussex Police in June 2017. By March 2018, the scheme had been implemented by all 45 police forces across the UK.\nSince June 2017, 499 such calls have been received by Sussex Police from banks and \u00a32,733,605 has been saved from being defrauded.\n52 payment service providers, including all the main high street banks and the Post Office, are now fully signed up to the Banking Protocol and have trained up their front-line branch staff in the steps that need to be taken when a customer is at risk.\nKaty Worobec, Managing Director of Economic Crime, UK Finance, commented: \u201cBank branch staff are on the front line in the fight against fraud, as increasingly sophisticated gangs target consumers directly and trick them into withdrawing large sums of cash. This rapid response scheme is giving bank staff the tools they need to protect vulnerable customers from scams, while helping local police catch fraudsters and bring them to justice. The banking industry will keep taking action on all fronts to combat fraud, working closely with our partners in law enforcement to crack down on the criminal gangs responsible.\u201d\nThe figures are based on data provided to UK Finance by all 45 police forces across the UK participating in the Banking Protocol scheme.\nDetective Inspector Mark O'Brien of the Sussex Police Economic Crime Unit said; In Sussex this process is embedded within the force's Operation Signature. The Banking Protocol is well established in Sussex and has proved very effective in preventing fraud against the vulnerable. Following a call from the bank, police attend and take positive action in crime recording and ensuring the victim is safeguarded, reducing further risk by multi agency intervention.\"\nFurther valuable support comes from two case workers, funded by Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner (SPCC) Katy Bourne, and working through Victim Support, who support vulnerable victims who have been systematically targeted by criminals in this way, following up on referrals from Operation Signature.\nKaty Bourne said; \"\u201cI'm very proud to have funded these case workers. They have achieved so much, offering invaluable emotional support as well as practical advice to some of our most vulnerable residents.\n\u201cIt's particularly heartening that out of the hundreds of clients they have supported, so little have been referred back to them. This really does show the valuable work they are doing to enable people to better protect themselves from future victimisation.\n\u201cIt is also encouraging to see responsible financial institutions collaborating with police and other agencies to keep customers safe. I know that the Force will continue to work hard to keep up with the constantly adapting nature of cyber-fraud and raise awareness of the dangers of this crime type, particularly with older people. It is also remarkable that in the last 12 months they have saved potential victims of fraud \u00a32million.\u201d\nPolice advise;\n- Be wary of any calls, texts or emails purporting to be from the police asking for your personal or financial details, or for you to transfer money.\n- If you are approached, or feel something is suspicious, hang up the phone and don\u2019t reply. Then report it to Action Fraud and your bank on their advertised number.\n- Never send or give money to anyone you don't know or trust; check people are who they say they are; don't share your personal information; make decisions in your own time; and if in doubt phone a relative or a friend.\nOperation Signature is the Sussex Police campaign to identify and support vulnerable victims of fraud across the county. Fraud is becoming more complex and deceptive, and much of it is targeted at vulnerable and elderly people.\nFor further information about Operation Signature and ways of preventing fraud against elderly and other vulnerable people see the Sussex Police website here.\nNewsdesk Guidance;\nSussex case studies on use of the Banking Protocol are available.\nUK Finance is the collective voice for the banking and finance industry.

I was so fortunate to go to the Yankees/Mets game. The people were so lively and full of team spirit. It was great. I really love the whole atmosphere of baseball games.\nI also knew that this was the last season that the Yankees would play at this particular stadium, so I wanted to see it this last time.

        "raw_content": "Culture, Health John McDermott February 2, 2018\nThe \u2018Yips\u2019 Have Made Ronda Rousey Tap Out of the UFC\nShe\u2019s just the latest in a long line of athletes who have been betrayed much more by their minds than bodies\nWant to see something almost unbearably sad?\nWatch this interview with Ronda Rousey, the former UFC women\u2019s champion who just debuted in the WWE at the Royal Rumble last weekend, about her devastating MMA losses to Holly Holm and Amanda Nunes and her ensuing fall from grace.\nThat\u2019s hard to watch, right?\nEven Rousey couldn\u2019t seem to face her answer to the question.\nAt this point, it\u2019s clear that the downturn in Rousey\u2019s fighting career is due to more than a sudden loss of skill\u200a\u2014\u200ait\u2019s psychological. It seems as though she\u2019s suffering from a severe case of the \u201cyips,\u201d arguably the most devastating disease in all of professional sports.\nThe yips originated in golf to describe when a golfer abruptly and inexplicably loses the ability to sink a putt, but the term has since expanded to explain sudden drops in performance in all sports, such as a baseball infielder no longer being able to make the routine throw to first base (looking at you Chuck Knoblauch and Steve Sax). The yips can last for a game, a stretch of a season, or in the most extreme cases, such as Rousey\u2019s, derail an entire career.\nOn November 15, 2015, Rousey suffered the first loss of her professional fighting career to Holm. Rousey wasn\u2019t only undefeated until that fight, she was widely considered unbeatable and the most intimidating presence in the sport. The lone blemish on her record left her obviously rattled\u200a\u2014\u200aafter being ubiquitous in the media in previous months (including playing Turtle\u2019s love interest in the Entourage film), Rousey vanished from the public eye.\nShe, however, resurfaced the following year, only to lose again to Nunes in December 2016.\nAfterward, she posted the following ominous message to her Instagram account:\nA post shared by rondarousey (@rondarousey) on Jan 9, 2017 at 1:37pm PST\nChrist, that\u2019s dark.\n\u201cIt\u2019s understandable for someone to [mentally] crash when there\u2019s an injury or there\u2019s a major defeat or loss,\u201d sports psychologist Douglas Smith says of Rousey. \u201cThe whole mental side of sport is about resilience, and that doesn\u2019t come easy because you\u2019re born with it.\u201d\nRousey is similar to Philadelphia 76ers guard Markelle Fultz, the highly-touted rookie who, for reasons that no one can adequately explain, has somehow lost the ability to properly shoot a basketball.\nFultz from the line pic.twitter.com/Yl1D66ZyfR\n\u2014 Jon Johnson (@jonjohnsonwip) January 24, 2018\nFor the past several months, Basketball Twitter has been flooded with videos of Fultz awkwardly shot-putting the ball toward the hoop and corresponding speculation about what happened to the silky stroke he exhibited at the University of Washington. In Fultz\u2019s defense, he has been battling a shoulder injury, but team doctors have cleared him to play, meaning he\u2019s ostensibly healthy enough to perform the vital basketball task of shooting. As such, one of the prevailing theories is that the hitch in Fultz\u2019s shot is \u201cpsychosomatic\u201d (read: a bout of the yips).\nSimilar suspicions were cast at stud Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck when he missed every game this season with a mysterious shoulder injury\u200a\u2014\u200aby the team\u2019s owner no less, who reportedly said the only thing wrong with Luck is his mindset.\nAnd although it\u2019s almost exclusively a sports term, the Mayo Clinic recognizes the yips as a genuine disease:\nSome athletes become so anxious and self-focused\u200a\u2014\u200aoverthinking to the point of distraction\u200a\u2014\u200athat their ability to execute a skill, like putting, is impaired. Choking is an extreme form of performance anxiety that may compromise a golfer\u2019s game.\nDespite the emphasis on psychology, the Mayo Clinic also says the yips can be due to a neurological dysfunction called focal dystonia, which causes random spasms in the muscles, thus throwing off an athlete\u2019s technique.\nEither way, sports psychologists have yet to identify a plausible working theory of the yips\u200a\u2014\u200aas all the research conducted on the subject so far has been inconsistent.\nThey can, however, be overcome. Perhaps the most famous case of recovery is former St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Rick Ankiel, who won Rookie of the Year his first season in MLB in 2000, and then suddenly forgot how to throw the ball to the catcher.\nIt got so bad, he briefly washed out of the major leagues. Until, that is, he made a triumphant return to the Cardinals as a power-hitting outfielder.\nIn an interview last year, Ankiel describes the psychological battle of dealing with the yips:\nAt first, I was in denial. And I just thought, Hey, I can beat this with mechanics because I know what I want to do. I know what my mechanics look like, what they feel like, what I\u2019m supposed to do. And that\u2019s the crazy part about it. You\u2019re standing out there on the mound. You know exactly what you want to do and how you want to do it and your body and brain will not let you do it.\nPerhaps Rousey will have the same sort of redemption story in the WWE, where she will most certainly be pushed as the star of the company\u2019s resurgent women\u2019s division.\nBut when it comes to the yips, nothing goes according to script\u200a\u2014\u200aeven those created at the behest of the McMahon family.",

Each classroom is warm, inviting, orderly, and intentionally filled with beautiful, natural materials\u2014wood, seashells, and beeswax\u2014for making dolls and toys. These organic elements encourage children to create their own games and stories, while nourishing their minds and senses. The Early Childhood room is a gentle place where children can imagine freely, while feeling safe and comfortable.\nPlay is at the heart of the Waldorf Early Childhood program\nThe structured and supported use of play in our Early Childhood program lays a strong foundation for your child's future academic success. In play, children develop their creative thinking, problem solving, and social skills through their imaginative interactions and in teacher directed activities. The children listen to fairy tales and folktales, they watch puppet plays, and they engage in dramatic play\u2014all of which strengthens their powers of memory, comprehension, and imagination. Stories, songs, and nursery rhymes told in class also inspire their love of language and of learning. The children play counting games and perform rhythmic activities. They help bake bread, cook other simple dishes, and set the table, all of which provide the basis for learning mathematics, sequencing, and number skills. Children learn about the physical world through activities that develop fine and gross motor skills, and through imitative play. These pursuits prepare them for a wide range of subject study: sciences, arts and humanities.\nChild play outdoors year round, rain or shine.\nAll learning activities in the Early Childhood program follow daily and seasonal rhythms that connect the children to the world around them and instill a sense of gratitude and reverence for nature.\n\u0093The task of the kindergarten teacher is to adapt the practical activities of daily life so that they are suitable for the child\u2019s imitation through play. The activities of children in the kindergarten must be derived from life itself, rather than being \u201cthought out\u201d by the intellectualized culture of adults. In the kindergarten, the most important thing is to give children the opportunity to directly imitate life itself.\u0094\n\u2014 Rudolf Steiner from \"The Child's Changing Consciousness\"",

Video has shown itself to be a good deterrent to planned crime such as organized pickpocketing or vandalism. Video is also invaluable in criminal and anti-terror investigations.\nAcceptance of video surveillance has increased steadily over the past decade. Yet most cities, with a few notable exceptions, use video in a very limited way and in only a few hot spots. The biggest barrier to wider deployment of video surveillance today is the cost of connecting the cameras to recording servers, and of connecting those servers to control centres. To illustrate this issue, a single full HD camera (which is standard today) requires 1.8Mb/sec bandwidth and 265 GB storage for 10 days, while recording at only 10 frames/sec. Camera density today varies between a few hundred per city in Germany and over 100.000 in some Asian cities. That puts the per city bandwidth requirement at 180Gb/sec.\nHowever, some analytics algorithms require the video data to use MPEG compression rather than H.264. In this case, even if only a small portion of the camera population has this requirement, the bandwidth needed more than doubles.\nIn addition to bandwidth and storage close to the camera, video also requires low latency transmission whenever the camera needs to be remote controlled, when video analytics span multiple cameras, or if video needs to be reviewed in real time (i.e., live). As cameras in surveillance systems become more mobile and are attached to vehicles or people, the bandwidth and storage requirements become more dynamic. For the time being however, access to affordable bandwidth is the key obstacle. Further key network parameters for video are high reliability of the network and an average packet delay of less than the double the time expected between consecutive frames.\nSchematic Diagram \u2013 Real-time Low-latency Object Tracking and Security\nVideo analytics typically include object tracking and face recognition. The number of cameras, device managers and clients is variable.\nPrior to 5G and metro networks, cities have either deployed recording servers on poles close to a small number of cameras managed by that server, or they have resorted to laying their own fibre and limiting coverage to spots close to the fibre. Both solutions have drawbacks: while deploying servers on poles is initially less expensive and saves bandwidth, there is a significant maintenance cost and there are reliability drawbacks.\nAll of these factors in combination make metro networks very interesting infrastructure for safe cities and video surveillance in general.\nIn the Metro-Haul project we are focussing on demonstrating the enhanced capabilities of a metro network to provide low latency data delivery. Low latency in video is required whenever a camera is remote controlled. This can either be by a person in a control centre manually controlling the camera with a joystick, or where one camera creates an output that is used to automatically control another camera.\nA typical scenario would be to secure a parking lot with a thermal camera using a wide field of view. The video analytics on this camera are programmed to detect human movement and track the person. This tracking data is then transmitted to a second camera that has pan, zoom and tilt (PTZ) capabilities. The second camera is thus able to zoom in on the person and follow the person around, even when movement is quick and erratic, since the actual tracking is done based on the overview. More than one PTZ camera may be used in a larger area. For this setup to work, the latency needs to be below 5ms.\nFuture applications could also include picking a recognized face out of a crowd on a static camera and then tracking a closeup view using a second camera. Or even further in the future behaviour recognition could be the trigger.\nAbout SeeTec GmbH\nFounded in 1996 as a pioneer in IP-based video security, SeeTec GmbH is one of the leading vendors of video management software in Europe \u2013 together with OnSSI, Inc. even worldwide.

        "raw_content": "Teeth are not the only parts of oral cavity that can be a subject of disease and infections. Some of the most common dental problems are in fact gum diseases, namely gingivitis and periodontitis. Plaque buildup is the most common cause of gingivitis.\nIf the plaque is not taken care of and continues to accumulate, bacteria may begin to grow and this will cause the gingivitis infection. There are many symptoms of gingivitis; these include bleeding, swelling, inflammation, and also a deep red color of the gums. Treatment of gingivitis depends on how severe and how far the disease has progressed. If the disease is not too severe it is possible to be treated with fluoride rinse and fluoride toothpaste to remove the plaque.\nGingivitis that is not treated can lead to periodontitis. Plaque will spread and form underneath the gums. In plaque, the toxins made from the bacteria bother the gums. From the support of the tissues and bone for the teeth, they are broken and shattered. The teeth are separated from the gums and have spaces between them which are infected. As periodontitis continues the bone and gum tissue are no long available. There are hardly any symptoms for this disease. If not treated, the teeth will become useless and the teeth will have to be taken out.\nGum disease treatment usually include professional dental cleaning, scaling (deep cleaning done under local anesthesia), fluoride rinse and use of antibiotics. However, if the disease has progressed and spread deep under the gums and into the bone, surgical methods may be needed. Depending on the severity, surgical treatments include bone and soft tissue grafts or even bone surgery. The best treatment method is always prevention.\nPrices for Gum surgery\nImplant Dental Center Tijuana, Rosarito, Guadalajara $145 USD\nDr. Javier Saldivar Dds. $42 USD\nDoctores Ruiz And Magana $47 USD\nCoral Dental Center $408 USD\nPrices for Ultrasonic Scaling\nDent Art Center $ 40 USD\nDr. Ania Rodr\u00edguez Arrona $104 USD\nEndodontik Oficina Dental $101 USD\nGrupo Dental Bosques $187 USD\nWhiteline Dental Clinic $172 USD",

        "raw_content": "This has been a great year for nostalgia in the movies. On the one hand, we have had a film, \"Hugo,\" by American filmmaker Martin Scorsese, eulogizing Melies, the early master of French cinema. In \"The Artist,\" we have a film by a French filmmaker, Michel Hazanavicius, which is a homage to formative days of the American Hollywood movie industry--interesting parallels.\nHazanavicius' love letter to Hollywood is shot in black and white, and largely \"silent\", although it does have a music track and the occasional clever insertion of sounds. Beginning in 1927, the film covers the turbulent period of Hollywood's conversion to \"talkies,\" the 1929 market crash, and the early Depression of the 1930's.\nThe film's leading man, George Valentin (Jean Dujardin), has had a successful career as what we would now call an \"action hero\" with all the trappings of success, only marred by his loveless marriage. (His wife,Doris, played by Penelope Ann Miller, spends her idle days defacing his pictures in the movie magazines--.)When sound comes in, he scoffs at it as a gimmick, maintaining that true artistry is in the silent cinema.\nWhen his studio converts to all-talking pictures his contract is dropped. George invests his own money in making a jungle epic, which tanks in competition with the sound movies. As it turns out, George can ill-afford the loss, since the crash of '29 wipes out his other holdings. Life is pretty much a downward spiral for George as career, fortune, home, and wife all leave him in short order.\nOn the upward spiral is \"Peppy\" Miller (B\u00e9r\u00e9nice Bejo), a vivacious and ambitious (but,as we see,kind-hearted)young actress who gets a break when George insists she be retained as an extra in one of his spy-thriller adventure films. During a flirtatious post-filming meeting which reveals her crush on him, George advises Peppy that she needs something \"different\" to stand out in the movies, and uses a make-up pencil to give her a \"beauty spot\" that becomes her trademark. Indeed, her first starring vehicle, which blows away George's self-made film at the box office, is titled \"The Beauty Spot.\" Peppy takes to sound cinema like a natural and soon has (sometimes literally) most of the things that George once enjoyed.\nHow their two lives remain intertwined and this works out is the remainder of the movie, in a sincerely told story that is at times funny, at times frightening, and frequently sad. In these cynical days, it's nice to see a movie that deals with sincere sentimentality.\nThe two leads are excellent. Dujardin plays Georges as stubborn, proud, quixotic, and decent. He is reduced to pawning his tail-coat, but has retained his Lincoln limousine because he can't bear to part with his chauffeur and friend, Clifton (James Cromwell) and eventually gives Clifton the car as severance in lieu of back wages. Bejo's Peppy is a level-headed and sensible but joyous professional whose longings for George can't penetrate his fortress of wounded pride and disappointment. They are supported by an excellent cast of Hollywood veterans, including Cromwell as the loyal Clifton, and John Goodman as the studio head.\nOh, and the dog? Yeah, \"Uggie\" is cute enough, but didn't do anything I haven't seen a hundred cinema dogs do as well, I don't see see what the fuss is about.\nHighly recommended for those who like movies about movies.",

That\u2019s because the borrower is less likely to pay you back if you wait.\nNow throw in interest rates. Lend someone \u00a3100 now with interest rates at 5% and if they return \u00a3100 in one year you\u2019ve actually lost out. That\u2019s because you could have earned \u00a35 of interest in the meantime. So they should be paying you \u00a3105 \u2013 and that assumes you were happy to accept zero default risk when you made the loan. Equally, if you lend the \u00a3100 over two years you should expect \u00a3100 x 1.05 x 1.05 back, or \u00a3110.25.\nIn reverse, the \u201cpresent time value\u201d of \u00a3110.25 due in two years time but received today instead is \u00a3100 (if interest rates are a constant 5%).\n\u2022 Watch Tim Bennett\u2019s video tutorial: What is the time value of money?",

        "raw_content": "Don\u2019t tell me how to talk to my friends\nSocial media is brilliant. I am a Brit living in New Zealand. Because of social media and other forms of communication which use bandwidth instead of traditional, infinitely more expensive telecom lines, my parents in the UK know my children really well. Unlike their teacher who sees them daily, they can tell the difference between my identical twin daughters, just from using Skype, Face Time and seeing lots of photos over the last 5 years, all of which have been absolutely free.\nI can converse with my best friend at home on a daily basis through Whatsapp \u2013 last night I woke up at 3am to see a photo of a pair of boots she wanted my opinion on (get them Nancy, obvs). Because of social media we talk to each other as if we are in the same room and there has been no break in conversation. \u2018Can you text me the recipe for that salmon dish we had for lunch with your parents last year?\u2019\nSome time ago we wrote an article on Scoop which discussed the opportunities for using information from studies on social media to help research into the unusually high youth suicide rates in New Zealand (the article was then picked up by World TV, who were researching the topic).\nAny opportunity to use huge swathes of data available to companies like Facebook to help understand murky and devastating illnesses such as depression is clearly a good thing. However, reading little snippets like this gets me irritated.\nSure, encourage people to talk to each other and step over the line when you are worried abut the mental health of a colleague or friend. Yes, let\u2019s bring it more to the fore to get rid of the barbed wire surrounding depression and suicide as conversation topics, but don\u2019t imply that communicating through social media isn\u2019t important. No one needs to be told that social media can\u2019t replace the art of spoken conversation. That\u2019s ridiculous.\nThrowing out stats like \u201857% of Aussies call their friends and family less frequently since the rise of social media\u2019 is disingenuous. Do they call them less on traditional telecommunication lines? Perhaps they use Skype more. Maybe they chat daily on Messenger. Maybe they send weekly lengthy emails. Which year is taken as the rise of social media? Maybe because of the reduced cost of communicating across the internet, people call each other less frequently and spend longer chatting. All these questions poke holes in that statistic.\nEncouraging communication is a great thing. However there is no one size fits all. Asking someone if they are ok through Facebook may be the first step to leading them to chat face to face. If you\u2019d just called out of the blue they may not have answered. In the past when I have gone through patches of really struggling, someone asking if I\u2019m ok would have blown my top. It would have sounded condescending.\nHorses for courses. Thank God for the rise of social media. The introduction of a huge range of options for communication is amazing. Never before have we had such opportunity. Let\u2019s capitalise on it, not dis it.\nTagged with: Face Time, Skype, Social Media, Whatsapp\nPrevious PostMarketing Summit 2014Next PostLook around you. Are you sitting in the right place?",

        "raw_content": "AQUAMAN \u2013 Rupert Gregson-Williams\nThere have been some truly bonkers super-hero films over the years, but Aquaman may take the cake as being the nuttiest of all. It tells the origin story of the much-derided DC Comics character who first appeared on film in 2016\u2019s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and then again in 2017\u2019s Justice League; it stars Jason Momoa as Arthur Curry, the long-estranged son of the Queen of Atlantis, who after many years living amongst regular humans must return home and reclaim his throne in order to stop the megalomaniacal plans of his brother. The film is directed by James Wan and co-stars Amber Heard, Nicole Kidman, Patrick Wilson, Willem Dafoe, Dolph Lundgren, and Temuera Morrison and, to give it its due, it looks absolutely phenomenal. Other than some rather ropey de-aging which makes Morrison look like his own bad Madame Tussaud\u2019s waxwork, the special effects in the film are simply mind-blowing; the concept design and seascapes of the underwater Atlantean kingdom are so beautiful and creative, and some of the shot composition \u2013 especially during the Trench sequence \u2013 is just spectacular. However, all this is undermined by the truly terrible screenplay, the non-existent chemistry between the leads, the bafflingly clich\u00e9d dialogue, the plot contrivances that make the deus ex machina of other films seem inspired, and the existence of several utterly weird individual moments. This film contains \u2013 and I\u2019m not kidding here \u2013 an octopus playing the drums, Heard wearing a dress made of jellyfish, battle-hardened seahorses fighting sentient crab people, sharks with frickin\u2019 laser beams on their heads, flying wine knives, Momoa eating roses as a snack, Kidman eating a goldfish like it\u2019s an outtake from A Fish Called Wanda, a bad guy who calls himself Ocean Master with no hint of irony, a random tourist getting crushed by a building and then walking away like nothing happened, Willem Dafoe sporting a man-bun topknot, and an ancient racist underwater sea monster voiced by Julie Andrews, among many other truly mind-boggling things. You\u2019ll just have to experience it for yourselves.

In the winter of 1988, however, director Richard Donner and screenwriters Mitch Glazer and Michael O\u2019Donoghue did just that with Scrooged, which re-imagined the story as a comedic tale of redemption set in the world of network television. Bill Murray plays Frank Cross, a morality-free and highly cynical TV studio executive who takes perverse delight in designing increasingly tasteless programming while tormenting his employees. After one particularly heartless episode when he forbids his secretary from leaving work on Christmas Eve to take care of her sick son, Frank is visited by a series of ghosts, each of whom show him the error of his ways, teach him to be a better person, and allow him to feel the true spirit of Christmas. The film co-stars Karen Allen, John Forsyth, Carol Kane, Robert Mitchum, and Bobcat Goldthwaite, and has since gone on to be considered a seasonal classic which was somewhat ahead of its time.

Various complicated legal issues regarding legitimacy and succession meant that the two cousins had valid claims to the British throne, but it was Elizabeth who eventually took it, becoming queen in 1558. Within a year Mary had married King Francis II of France, but following his death just two years later she returned to Scotland to take up her throne there. Tragedy and death dogged Mary\u2019s life \u2013 her first husband was murdered, and her second husband eventually fled to Scandinavia \u2013 and by 1567 she had been forced to abdicate her throne in favor of her one year old son. Seeking the help of her cousin, she left for London, but the increasingly paranoid Elizabeth saw her as a threat, and had her imprisoned for plotting to assassinate her; Mary was eventually executed in 1586. This story has been told many times on screen, most famously in a popular 1971 film starring Vanessa Redgrave and Glenda Jackson. This version of the story stars Saoirse Ronan and Margot Robbie as the two queens, and is directed by Josie Rourke from a screenplay by House of Cards creator Beau Willimon.

The Walt Disney-produced 1964 classic, based on the series of novels by P. L. Travers, made a star of actress Julie Andrews, entered songs like \u201cFeed the Birds,\u201d \u201cA Spoonful of Sugar,\u201d and \u201cSupercalifragilisticexpialidocious\u201d into the enduring cinematic lexicon, and won the hearts of children and adults all around the world. When it was announced that, more than 50 years later, a sequel was in production, it was inevitable that comparisons between it and the original would be made \u2013 how could they not be? The potential for disaster was enormous. Thankfully for all concerned, Mary Poppins Returns is a triumph in every respect, an overwhelmingly joyous \u2018happiness bomb\u2019 that pays respectful homage to the legendary first film while continuing the story in a thoughtful, respectful, fun, and emotional way. The film is set some thirty years after the first one, in pre-War rather than Edwardian London, and finds the original Banks children Jane and Michael as adults. Michael is a widower with three children of his own, living in his father\u2019s home; however, in the aftermath of his wife\u2019s death, Michael has sunk into a depression, and is in danger of losing the house to the bank. Just as all hope seems lost their magical childhood nanny, Mary Poppins, returns, and with the help of a London lamplighter named Jack, sets about putting things right for the Banks children for a second time.

It\u2019s set in the late cretaceous period, and follows the adventures of a group of orphaned dinosaurs searching for a fabled oasis where there is food, water, and safety. The main character is Littlefoot, a young Apatosaurus, who along with his friends \u2013 each of whom is a different species, such as a triceratops or a pteranodon \u2013 find themselves having to escape from numerous dangers, not least of which is a deadly \u2018sharptooth\u2019 Tyrannosaurus Rex that is hunting them. The film was incredibly popular at the time, and it works on multiple levels. Firstly, it is a fun story for children, with playful characters and a friendly cartoonish animation style. However, it also has some deeper meaning, addressing issues of racism (some of the adult dinosaurs are prejudiced against different species), climate change (the dinosaurs don\u2019t know it, but they are living through a famine that heralds the beginning of their extinction event), friendship, and family. There is also some surprisingly dark material too, including some quite intense and frightening sequences involving the Tyrannosaurus, as well as character deaths which left real emotional scars on an entire generation of kids. Amazingly, the film spawned an incredible thirteen direct-to-video sequels and even a TV series, although none of them reached the level of acclaim the original had.

        "title": "Looking Back at Pan Am 2018: Scott Mackenzie \u2013 Muaythai Canada",
        "raw_content": "Scott MacKenzie\u2019s year can be summarized nicely in one word. \u2018Golden\u2019. He ended the year with a flawless record of 9-0, captured a pair of titles along the way, and capped off his outstanding achievements by sweeping the 75 kg division at the Pan American Championships in Argentina, earning a gold medal for his efforts. It was a fitting end to the year for MacKenzie, who now has his sights set on the best competition the world of amateur Muaythai has to offer.\nScott \u2018Smash\u2019 MacKenzie is no stranger to international events and a few of the other team Canada athletes. He competed at the world championships in Minsk, Belarus in 2017, and was part of the coaching staff to the team that competed at the world championships in Cancun, Mexico in 2018. He had travelled with teammates Taylor and Josimar in previous events, but wasn\u2019t as familiar with some of his new teammates. When asked about travelling and competing with his team, Scott said, \u201cI\u2019m impressed with the squad that fought this year. For a relatively new group, with 10 athletes competing, we were one of the smaller countries in the tournament, and took home the silver medal for team performance.\u201d There were other countries from South America who had twice as many athletes competing in Argentina this year.\nMacKenzie was fully aware that his bracket had a few opponents with more experience than him, offering him a great challenge to see where he ranked amongst some of the best athletes in the western hemisphere. After an athlete missed weight in a lower class and was moved to Scott\u2019s division, the bracket had 9 competitors. Therefore, a qualifying match was added to the bout list for Day 1, and Scott\u2019s name was drawn. His bout against Carlos Mario Gutierrez of Columbia kicked off the tournament. He defeated Gutierrez with a flurry of elbows and clinch strikes in the second round, earning him the referee stoppage, and adulation from the crowd inside the Club Atl\u00e9tico Atlanta.\nAfter the qualifier, Scott then had to compete later the same day against Leonardo Forte of Brazil; the only athlete in the tournament to have done so. Much like his first bout, Scott demonstrated his Muaythai IQ in the clinch, overpowering Forte. It was almost a case of deja vu when Scott finished his opponent again with elbow strikes, forcing the referee to stop the bout in the second round. A very impressive Day 1 for Scott.\nDay 2 proved to be much more challenging for the Calgary Elite athlete. He was matched with Giovanni Mazzetti of Peru in the semi-finals on day 2, a Top King & Thai Fight veteran, and the most experienced athlete Scott has ever faced in his career. It was a great bout, with both athletes fighting hard for their spot in the finals. Scott would get the decision win over Mazzetti, but he didn\u2019t come out of the bout unscathed. He took damage to his ribs and right foot in that fight. Initially he thought he may have broken his ankle, but with the help of Dr. Jason Park and Omar Kennedy of the United States\u2019 team, the inflammation was reduced significantly, revealing a minor sprain. The sports therapy offering by Jason and Omar literally got Scott back on his feet, offering him a fighting chance in the finals.\nIn the finals on day 3 Scott would face a tournament favourite and hometown athlete, Braian Allevatto of Argentina, a well known competitor in the South American Muaythai scene. The bout against Allevatto was a testimony to Scott\u2019s competitive drive and determination. Unable to kick with his right leg, Scott\u2019s attitude was, \u201cWell, I have 7 more weapons to choose from.\u201d And that\u2019s exactly what he did. Scott mainly used his boxing to score points against the Argentine, and continued to strike well in the clinch. Out of all the opponents he faced over the three days in Argentina, it was Allevatto who surprised him the most in the clinch. \u201cHe was tricky in the clinch, and dumped me in round 1, which surprised me because I didn\u2019t have as hard a time with any of my previous competitors in the tournament.\u201d\nAfter 9 gruelling minutes between the two 75kg finalists, Scott earned himself the decision win. \u201cThe fight (with Allevatto) probably looked a lot closer than it was because I forced to use more upper body techniques,\u201d said MacKenzie when asked to reflect on his performance. \u201cI was in such a competitive state of mind for 4 days, that it didn\u2019t really sink in that I had won the gold medal after my hand was raised.\u201d\nIn his reflections on the entire tournament, Scott is grateful for all of the support he received before and during the Pan American Championships. Everyone who participated in his t-shirt campaign contributed an enormous help financially. His coaching staff, Kieran Keddle and Francois Duval of Calgary Elite prepared him very well for the event, and his Team Canada teammates gave him overwhelming support throughout the tournament. Coaches Vic Costa and Darwin Miranda each contributed in their own unique way. \u201cDarwin helped me relax and enjoy the experience, because I\u2019m a super serious guy. And I really clicked with Vic. He gave me great visualization exercises to work with.\u201d Even the coaches from the Unites States team, especially Danny Brandt were there for Scott, offering coaching advice during his bouts.\nIt was a great end of the year for MacKenzie, who aims to medal again at the IFMA World Championship in Bangkok this summer. He is an athlete who is constantly improving, and always looking for opponents who will challenge him to bring out his best efforts. With a performance like the one he had at the Pan Ams, Scott has an excellent chance against the world\u2019s best later this year.",

In some cases it could be the guitar, while some other cases the base instrument. The vocals almost always have the highest volumes.\nYou see, every song needs the perfect symphony. It is not just about the lyrics and tune, but also how they are mixed\u2014the proportions. It is like cooking too\u2014you absolutely need to get the proportions right.\nIt is exactly the same with literature too, I believe.\nThere are many who advocate the use of simple language in literature. And then there are those who use copious amounts of \u2018big\u2019 words. They need these to enjoy literature. It is a personal choice, after all.\nI belong to the former clan. There was a time when I loved the use of complex words. I still do, but I like them to be used minimally.\nYou see, I love the sound of literature. I absolutely love how it feels when words roll off your tongue, the music it makes. I read for this sake. The stories only come second. I need my language to be mellifluous\u2014as per my tastes.\nSo using the analogy, I can say that literature is like music; the story or plot is akin to the song\u2019s lyrics, while the writing is the tune. Every part of the sentence structures are equivalent to different aspects of the tune. The verbs could be the base; the subject could be the vocals; the prepositions or punctuation could be the drum beats, so on and so forth. The simplicity or complexity of the words could be equivalent to the emphasis given to the different parts of the song. Or maybe the pitch. Every time a complex word or clause is used, the pitch rises suddenly.\nNow imagine if I use a complex word for all aspects of the sentence, then every instrument used would suddenly start playing at a higher pitch and volume. To me, it sounds jarring. To another, it may sound lovely. Like the distinction between classical and heavy metal music\u2014music to one, noise to another.\nAt the end of the day, though, I only like to listen to the kind of music I want. Similarly, I only want to read the kind of literature I like. And that happens to be simple writing, its music quaint and lyrical.\nPosted in Essays, Random thoughtsTagged Art, Blues, Books, Complexity, Creativity, Literature, Music, Music instruments, Simplicity, Writing\nLost someone? Maybe this can help\nSource: http://www.openlounge.org/settee/falling/\nWho has never lost a person in their whole life? Show me one such person and I will give you a million dollars (or any other currency, take your pick.)\nAt some point in time, we all have had to let go of someone, or have been let go by someone. It may have been a friend, partner, relative, sibling, or some other important person. At the end of it, though, we have that person-shaped hole in our life to fill; those memories to avoid\u2014at least until it stops to draw blood, it stops stinging at least a little.\nIt is said that the process of getting over something or someone has multiple stages \u2013 denial, anger, bitterness, sorrow and finally acceptance. But what after that? You still have that hole. It never goes away, does it?\nSo what do you do? You learn to live with the hole. You try not to go near the edge, lest you fall over, open the wounds raw once again and then have to crawl back bleeding to reality. It is a constant effort, one that takes time to master.\nSince these are times of listicles, let me jot down some other activities you can undertake to help yourself.\nWe all are trying to figure out what is best for us. I too am. These helped me at various times in life, and I hope they work for you. Or if you have a better alternative, you can share it in the comments.\n1) Explore the regions\u2026 of your heart: Imagine a room, which suddenly developed a huge gaping hole in one corner. You will then look at the other parts of the room right (before calling someone to fix it, of course). Exactly the same way, there are other people in your life and heart\u2014friends, family, co-workers, pets, your favourite Barista, take your pick. It always feels better when you know you have someone. So, concentrate on this part of your life\u2014the good stuff. Meet that friend or person who realises that you are loved. Spend time with your co-workers who make you feel useful at work. Count your blessings today. It may not work right away. But slowly, over time, you will realise your own self-worth. And this, my dear, will be your first step.\n2) Work: If you happen to be one of those lucky few who like their work, engross yourself in it. Work so hard that it pays. And this payoff will be sweeter. Not just monetarily, but also in terms of your self-esteem. Because not every boss is mean and not every co-worker is trying to put you down. Some are genuinely appreciative. It helps perk your spirits up further.\n3) Go artsy: \u201cThe purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls,\u201d said Pablo Picasso. I don\u2019t know if he really did say that, but those words sure feel wonderful. And it is true, too! Have you ever gotten so caught up in a book, poetry, writing, painting, music or movie that you forgot time existed? This may sound clich\u00e9d, but it is true. I have first-hand experience. Time is not your friend when you are trying to forget someone. And it is this time that we are trying to spend by dipping into art. The best part is that your soul comes out refreshed after those timeless moments.\n4) Learn something new: It is sad that we stop learning new things after getting out of school or college. And even then, we were trying to study only to make a career. How many of us really had the light of curiosity in our hearts that trudged even after the exams ended? Who says a Physics or Commerce student can never want to learn about Psychology or Literature, or an Arts student would not want to learn computing? Take up something new today. It may not exactly come handy in your life or career, but you are increasing your knowledge. Most importantly, it helps eat time.\n5) Take up a hobby: Yes, it is fairly clich\u00e9d, but that doesn\u2019t take away from the fact that it does help. There is a reason why you like doing something\u2014it gives you joy! At a time like this, joy is what we need the most! So go spread your wings and take up your hobby again.\n6) Travel somewhere far: Life is a journey. You have to put things behind you and start walking. Moving on is the term. It may help to take this literally too. Put some real distance between you and the person. Travel to a new place. Get yourself lost in the wonders of a new place. It is always refreshing to face new experiences.\n7) Play some mind-games: Your mind is in your control. \u2018Mind over matter\u2019 is my mantra. Here is an exercise for you: Close your eyes. Think of your kitchen. But don\u2019t think about the vegetable cutter, the blender, the grinder. You imagine precisely the kitchen. In life, when we notice someone\u2019s absence from our life, we tend to look at things that we miss. Those essentially make you think of things that probably make you feel whole. Now, how were you before you met the person? You were still happy. Your happiness was not dependent on them. You are the same now. Now, think of abundance. Count on things what you have and what makes you happy. Then, slowly, they will show up.\n8) Live a lie until it turns into the truth: Do you know who is the best liar? A person who manages to believe the lie so much that it is the truth for him or her. If you start believing in it, your body will rarely give away your lies. Similarly, start telling yourself you are living a good life, a happy life; you have enough people in your life who care about you; you are happy. Keep chanting this mantra. Wear a wide grin in your face. Try to bring a skip in your step. Make people believe that you are happy and bubbly. Slowly, as time slips away, your lie will become your truth.\nAt the end of the day, it is easy to wallow in self-pity and live in distress. It is bitter-sweet, the feeling. You want to relive the moments again and again in your head, playing different scenarios. This is the part of you that doesn\u2019t want to let go\u2014of the beautiful thing you shared. But the truth is: you have to let go!\nPosted in EssaysTagged Art, Blues, Drama, Friendship, Life, Loss, Love, Moving on, Psychology, Relationship",

        "raw_content": "It\u2019s not as if I didn\u2019t know I was different all along. There was the isolated feeling in the middle of a crowded room\u2026.never relating to anyone no matter how many people I \u201ctried on for size\u201d\u2026never liking the same kind of boys my friends did. I mean sure, I dated the same guys\u2026 but the boys who captured my heart were always a little strange. There were uncomfortable silences after I would make a joke. I had friends become angry and ignore me for weeks/months at a time, and I didn\u2019t even know what I had done. (A problem that happens for me still) My friends would be so excited about an upcoming event they had all planned and I would either dread it or find an excuse to stay home. I had friends, don\u2019t get me wrong\u2026.good friends\u2026..but I knew in order to remain their friend, there were parts of me that I had to keep hidden.\nOne of my earliest memories of what would be a long string of confusing friendships was when I was 5. I spent the night with a friend and, like so many little ones, I got homesick. I told my friend that I wanted to go home\u2026.that I needed to call my mom. I have blocked alot of the details out, but what I do remember is her refusing me the use of her phone, beating me with a TV antenna and spraying room spray in my eyes. OBVIOUSLY, she didn\u2019t want me leave. Not only did I stay that night, I went back\u2026.and back again\u2026.and back again. I\u2019ve thought about that night so many times in the last 28 years and wondered why I was so pathetic. I never had an answer. Never. I didn\u2019t just like her a little. I craved being near her. I \u201cneeded\u201d her.\nIn middle school, I had to move schools mid-year. I had a problem with another friend that wouldn\u2019t work itself out. It ended in typical preteen fashion. He said/she said mess and alot of alienated feelings on my end. The trouble was well known in my small, Christian school, and I felt like everybody was always against me. I felt eyes burning into me when I walked the halls. I felt the \u201cyou\u2019re a trouble maker\u201d looks everywhere I turned. My parents had always taught me to fix what was broken and give it my best shot\u2026.to apologize even when it wasn\u2019t my fault to end it and be the better person. No matter what I tried, I couldn\u2019t fix it. There was ,in my mind, a school wide boycott of me. My parents transferred me to another small, private school. I was elated\u2026.for a while. Inevitably, trouble followed. Within a few weeks, there were already problems. I was working hard to stay under the radar. I talked to whoever seemed nice and eventually gained confidence from finding a few friends, but I couldn\u2019t seem to dodge issues with other people. All my moves were wrong.\nIn high school, I wasn\u2019t part of a particular crowd. I found myself floating from group to group looking for acceptance that I only found in a couple of girls. By the time I hit 15, I had gotten a much bolder attitude about me and ditched some of my timid ways. I began experimenting with styles and felt like every day was a different costume party. I was a chameleon. Blending and meshing everywhere I went. I had a feeling of \u201cfakeness\u201d no matter what I tried\u2026.like I was never me, but always imitating someone else. Towards my Junior year, I began to not really care if I fit or not. I was fed up with trying. I couldn\u2019t find the fit anyhow, and it seemed too hard to make it happen. I got in fights with teacher after teacher. I wasn\u2019t a trouble maker, mind you, I was a good student\u20263rd in my class\u2026.but I only remember not arguing with one teacher out of every one that I had. I did it because I felt I was well within my rights to correct anything wrong\u2026.whether it be papers graded incorrectly or things said to me in tones I didn\u2019t like. I couldn\u2019t understand why *I* was always the one getting into trouble when THEY were the ones that were being unjust. There was a common theme in my life\u2026.Blow up and then apologize like mad afterwards. Eventually people got sick of hearing it and I was never so happy to leave an establishment in my life.\nAfter graduation, I took a year off from school. I worked three jobs because I couldn\u2019t stand just being home. I was always \u201con\u201d. I couldn\u2019t just do nothing. I couldn\u2019t just relax. There was always a plan\u2026always something I HAD to be doing. I decided it was time to hit the books, after that first year\u2026dive into college\u2026only I couldn\u2019t pick just one thing that interested me. Everything sounded fascinating in way or another\u2026.I was scared to pick \u201cjust one\u201d. Having a logical paramedic father, I decided nursing was a good choice. I was smart. I made the grades in high school. \u201cNo problem.\u201d, I thought. I enjoyed the information in my Literature and Art History classes. I never made any friends though. I sat in the back\u2026.always came in right before class started, so that I wouldn\u2019t have to speak to anyone\u2026. Then came the chemistry class catastrophe. No matter how hard I listened, I couldn\u2019t focus. No matter how much it was explained to me, I couldn\u2019t get it. I was barely making it. The day the professor said, \u201cEveryone follow me into the lab. Time to get hands on.\u201d, I walked\u2026..not into the lab, but out the door. I never went back. Not to Chemistry. Not to Art History. Not to Literature. I didn\u2019t care about the money spent on the classes. I couldn\u2019t do it anymore. One lab class that I never attended ruined my entire college experience. I was done. I felt like a complete failure. I began turning to drugs and alcohol to numb my low self esteem.\nI eventually met a guy, and for the sake of his feelings and my children\u2019s feelings, I will simply state that we got married, had 3 kids\u2026and, like every other relationship/friendship I tried, it ended. Badly. Another failure under my belt. Depression overcame me. I had zero direction. I hated everything and everybody\u2026.especially myself. I gave into the depression. I gave into the self doubt. I drank my problems away. I lied to everybody about who I was, what I thought, and what I did. Noone wanted that truth. Nobody wanted to know that when I put my kids to bed at night, I curled up with any bottle that would make me numb. I didn\u2019t want to know it. I didn\u2019t want to do it. I couldn\u2019t stand people, life or me. I didn\u2019t have the strength or confidence to anything right. I was at the lowest point I had ever been.\nAfter many horrible relationships and failed attemps at dating, I met this guy. I couldn\u2019t explain the rush I got around him. It was unlike anything I had ever experienced. It scared me\u2026 and excited me at the same time. We began spending every waking minute together\u2026and I fell in love. Hard. I ditched the bottles of booze. I had found the one person that gave me strength to be better. I found the one person I was scared to lose, apart from my kids. It was perfect. We were perfect. We had another child and got married. We were living my dream. I FINALLY had it together\u2026\u2026.so why couldn\u2019t I FEEL better. I had God. I had church. I had a great family. I had an incredible husband that supported my every breath. Still\u2026\u2026I was alone in my mind. Still I was different. There were problems I couldn\u2019t put my finger on. I was supposed to be happy, yet I couldn\u2019t get over feeling like I was from another planet and had been dropped here by mistake. I continued to lose friends left and right. I couldn\u2019t understand what was wrong with me. WHY did I feel so isolated?? WHY did people find it so easy to run from me? WHY was always saying and doing the wrong things to everyone?? Why was I attacking my husband and collapsing in tears every month or so?? I had no reason for it.\nAs a mom of four, who hates doctors and medication, I didn\u2019t want to go. I had a son who was being tested for Apergers and I needed to devote all of my time and attention to him. I could put me on the back burner. I was a walking issue all my life, no sense in talking it out now, right? Just keep coping like always. Up. Down. Up. Down. I researched every minute I had about Aspergers. I wanted the best doctor for my son. I wanted to be well educated, so that I could mold him and help him grow into a successful young man that OWNED Aspergers. HE would be the poster boy. HE was gonna shine. I would make sure of it. I read and I read and I read until I passed out many nights. I began joining online support groups for other moms of Aspies. I had questions. They had answers. By accident, I joined a page that I thought was for moms of Aspies. I quickly found out, it was for the mom WITH Aspergers. Awesome. I wanted to see what they have to say too. It was in the next few days that things began to unfold for me. My heart raced as I read post after post of women describing ME\u2026..MY life. My most intimate, dark secrets. I took a random internet test. I awaited the results calculating with as much anticipation and nervousness as all the times I had waited those daunting three minutes it takes for a pregnancy test to show that second pink line\u2026\u2026\u2026\u201dCalculating, calculating, calculating\u2026.POSITIVE.\u201d I took another\u2026and another\u2026..and another. ONE of these #*$@ things has GOT to say I\u2019m normal. Nope. All signs point to Asperland. I wasn\u2019t the type to simply trust online tests I had found, so I started talking personally with an online psychologist friend and other Aspie moms. I had never been more sure of anything in my entire life. I had Aspergers. For a week, my mind raced and recalled events that suddenly made so much sense. I wasn\u2019t mean\u2026.I wasn\u2019t attacking anybody on purpose\u2026nobody was really attacking me either. We were speaking different languages!\nDuring the first week, I analyzed, obsessed (like us Aspies do), and relived so much of my life in my head. I laughed. I cried. I threw up. I got angry. I got determined. I got overwhelmed. I wanted answers\u2026..and boy, did I get them.\nAt the end of this first week, I can tell you that I am tired, above all\u2026but I am ready to be who I was meant to be. This is\u2026..the first week of the rest of my life.\nFiled under aspergers, autism, moms of children with aspergers, moms with aspergers, Uncategorized and tagged aspergers, autism, moms with aspergers |\t6 Comments\nmarciakayx on October 14, 2012 at 1:04 am said:\nThis is tremendous.

It was my diagnosis too.\nI wasn\u2019t an alien from outer space anymore, I was *just* a regular Aspie! And in no way were either of my children (both on the spectrum) going to suffer the horrors I had. I can\u2019t make life easy or perfect for them, but I can stand up for them and fight the discrimination and abuses that I suffered alone and undefended. It makes all the difference in the world to self-esteem and self-love to know *what* the problem is and have a blue-print towards coping and treatment.\nMy children (and I) are validated by our diagnoses. We aren\u2019t BAD or LAZY.\nAnd that is always my argument to parents who don\u2019t wish their child to be * labeled*. They are doing more harm *waiting for their child to outgrow it*, than they know.\nBrian on October 19, 2012 at 11:57 am said:\nWow Erin, This is a great entry.

I went through the same thing a few months ago. I\u2019ve always known, but reading blogs like yours and other on women with autism and \u201cgifted\u201d chiltern with autism, I clearly recognized myself, while I wouldn\u2019t have put the same word on it before, because in the country I leave in, no one talks about it. Some close ones know for sure. My brothers, a cousin who asked me for advice when her son was being tested for Asperger\u2026\nI took an online test and was surprised to be so close to the highest score, ie one end of the spectrum.\nI felt moved and wrote to my brother, asking for advice: was it worth putting a name on it? Was would mentioning it to people or getting diagnosed bring me?\nThat\u2019s an honest question. For the moment, I feel like I\u2019m better off dealing with it by myself, getting informed and not blaming me or ruining my self-esteem like I used to, getting to understand better why I react the way I do. I would really like to hear what you think an official medical diagnosis brought you: comfort? Information? Understanding? Stigma?\nI would so things differently if I had children with Asperger I think, and your little girl is incredibly lucky to have a mother like you, truly able to relate, understand and explain. All the best.",

        "raw_content": "Mark\u2019s #10 \u2013 Replay by Ken Grimmwood (1986)\nIf one of the marks of a good book is that it makes you examine your own life, dreams, choices, and future direction, then Replay by Ken Grimmwood is a great book.\nImagine dying of a heart attack in your 40\u2019s only to wake up again as an 18-year-old freshman at college. How would your second life differ from the first? What regrets from your first life would you try to avoid in the second? With your accumulated knowledge from your past, and a foreknowledge of the future, how would your relationships or career choice be different? Now imagine doing this again, five or six different times\u2026 This is the experience for Jeff Winston in Replay.\nAt first thought, the concept and the opportunity to redo life the right way seems like a pretty cool experience. Yet, as Grimmwood points out throughout the book, there may be much more of a downside to such experiences than any upside. These life-cycles seem to be a small snapshot of the Hindu concept of reincarnation (with the goal being to get off of the endless wheel of life and finally reach Nirvana). For example, anyone you loved and shared experiences with in a previous life would not share those same memories with you in the next life \u2013 you would need to painstakingly recreate such experiences. Any children you had would cease from your existence as each cycle began anew.\nAs I read the book and followed the often hedonistic pursuits of Jeff and Pamela (a second \u2018replayer\u2019 discovered on the third replay of Jeff\u2019s life), along with their pursuit of meaning and transcendence, I felt that this book, in some ways, was a retelling of the biblical book of Ecclesiastes. Jeff and Pamela experience the meaninglessness of a life of fortune, of fame, of sexual promiscuity and indulgence, of drug and alcohol abuse, and even of loving relationships.\nTime and again I had the thought that while life itself is a good gift from God, in this fallen world, life is meant to be lived only once \u2013 and that\u2019s a good thing. As the author of Hebrews puts it, \u201c\u2026it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment (Heb. 9:27).\u201d As a follower of Christ, my hope is not in fortune, fame, worldly success, or even really great earthly relationships in this life. Ultimately, there is a longing in us for something more, because we were created for something so much more than this life has to offer. We were created for an endless relationship in perfect love, free from the shackles of sin, with our Creator and Redeemer, along with others that have been redeemed in a perfect place called Heaven.\nReading this book was a good reminder of how short life really is, even if one were given the opportunity to relive it five or six times, it\u2019s still just a blink in the spectrum of eternity. As Jeff and Pamela begin to realize that their \u2018life-cycles\u2019 are almost over, they too seem to wake up to this reality:\nIt had seemed as if they would have forever, an infinity of choices and second chances. They had squandered far too much of the priceless time that had been granted them, wasted it on bitterness and guilt and futile quests for nonexistent answers\u2026 (pg. 291).\n***It should be noted that author Ken Grimwood did not write Replay from the same Christian worldview that I embrace. As such, there are chapters in the book where the main character goes headlong in to the sins of hedonistic sexual indulgence and illicit drug and alcohol use. In addition, even by the end of the book, the reader is left longing for answers to the questions of meaning and purpose. Those answers cannot be found in Replay, but there is another \u2018Good Book\u2018 to which one can find the answers\u2026\nken grimmwood",

Stressing that the existence of their group must remain a secret, fellow Gatchaman Sugane Tachibana takes Hajime to their base of operations, where Paiman, the panda-like alien leader of the Gatchaman, reveals their purpose: to eliminate aliens that pose a danger to humanity. These existential threats, called MESS, are becoming increasingly dangerous, destroying everything they touch. Now it's up to the Gatchaman and their new recruit to stop them before the world is engulfed in chaos.\nThe North American release of the Gatchaman Crowds anime series does not contain the director's cut of episode 12, which remains exclusive to Japan.\nOther: Kagaku Ninja-tai Gatchaman\nAlternative version: Gatchaman Crowds: Embrace\nSequel: Gatchaman Crowds Insight: Inbound\nNinomiya, Rui\nMiya, Utsutsu\nKoiwai, Kotori\nKatze, Berg\nHosomi, Daisuke\nHibiki, Joe\nTachibana, Sugane\nRobinson, J. J.\nSousai X\nNakamura, Kenji\n\"Crowds\" by WHITE ASH\n\"INNOCENT NOTE\" by Hajime Ichinose (CV: Maaya Uchida)\nWhere there's trouble, we need a hero, someone who we can depend on to ensure the public's safety. Who better than Gatchaman?\nDon't be fooled by just the title. Gatchaman does exist and in the near future, they are legendary heroes who stands in with the crowds to protect the public. They're not just heroes but beings with supernatural abilities that allows them to fend off threats and criminals. In any city, there's crime. Luckily, Gatchaman is there to put it to end. They're not just wannabees but people who are capable of making a difference.\nGatchaman Crowds is an anime series produced by Tatsunoko Production. It is actually a reboot of the original series. Directed by Kenji Nakamura (C: Control, The Big O, Tsuritama) makes its hot summer debut as one series that can be stunningly entertaining. I'm not referring to just the action or its style of execution. Rather, Gatchaman Crowds takes on the hero theme and presents it in a way that is extravagant for viewers whom are into a distinctive series of recent years.\nAdapting a series based on heroes isn't entirely new to the anime industry. At the same though, it's not a hugely popular trend. In recent years, series such as Tiger & Bunny and Star Driver have followed such a pattern. In these series, characters become heroes of justice and vows to protect what they treasure. The part where Gatchaman Crowds shine though is that the main action character happens to be a girl. Usually, we are more used to seeing a guy playing the knight in shining armor. However, here we have a girl named Hajime who is infused with hyperactive energy. Instead of being a helpless girl in distress who needs a knight in shining armor, she becomes the sword the knight holds itself. With her super outgoing personality, Hajime Ichinose is the mascot as well as the girl that can make a difference. There are many times though where we see her more of a normal girl with that hyperactive personality. She is like the professor of energy because the many things he does puts viewers at awe of her attentiveness. There's is also a puzzling factor regarding the way she speaks that sometimes comes out as riddles. In a way, viewers might not 100% understand her purpose or way of what she is trying to convey. But hey, that's the fun part.\nOf course, Hajime isn't the only character in the show with all the power. If that was the case, her responsibility would be greater than anyone can imagine. Luckily, she does have allies as part of the Gatchaman Crew (aka the G-Crew). These include a variety of characters including Sugane Tachibana, Joe Hibiki, O.D., Utsu-tsu, and Pai-man. Despite his rather peculiar appearance, Pai-man acts as the leader although his appearances makes him a bit weak as compared to the others. Needless to say though, he is capable of leading and is able to unify the group together to take on dangerous criminals, beings with supernatural abilities that threatens the existence of others.\nOut of all the characters, we can see that there are a lot of interactions between the various members of the G-Crew. In particular, Hajime and Utsu-tsu has a peculiar relationship as they exist on almost entirely opposite of each others' personalities. Hajime is the energetic girl while Utsu-tsu is the stoic one. She often murmurs the phrase, \u201cI'm dreamy\u201d as if she is setting herself away from reality. However, Hajime at many times brings her closer to reality itself through their relationship.\nOther characters in the show also makes prominence, in particular Rui Ninomiya, a cross-dresser with beliefs of his own. In his mind, there's a need to improve and perhaps even change the world for the better. This in a way puts him on the opposite side of Gatchaman as his beliefs leads up the suggestion that Gatchaman would be nonexistent in a world of future. In many ways, he thinks that people would not solve problems on their own but rather become overreliant on Gatchaman. At the same time, there's no doubt that Rui needs help of his own especially when confronted with a dangerous criminal.\nThe criminals in Gatchaman are distinctive and looks peculiar. There's no surprise that some of these designs might be familiar for those who have seen Kenji's Nakamura's other directed works such as [C]. But besides that point, one particular villain in the show is shrouded in mystery not only by the way he kills but also his way to create a new world \u2013 destruction.\nBecause Gatchaman Crowds is set in a futuristic world (2015), expect some high level technology to come on the screen. Perhaps the most interesting of existing technology that exists in the Gatchaman world would be the GALAX. This interesting tool is a useful piece of technology for communication especially when trouble arises and there's a need for help. And who are you going to call help for in a city of dangerous criminals? Gatchaman of course!\nThe show also offers plentiful chances for action. Most often, this involves Gatchaman dealing with folks causing trouble and disturbing the peace of the public. Other times though, Gatchaman stands as a symbol of hope and peace. Rui does seem to agree with this but there are many who still looks up to Gatchaman. The action itself is solid with fast pacing moment and characters performing inhuman feats. More than ever though, we can tell that Gatchaman are not just your every day average superheroes. They are packed with explosiveness beyond just those catchy transformation sequences. Additionally, the team itself consists of a group that specializes in all sorts of skills when a trouble arises.\nAll entertainment factors aside, Gatchaman Crowds suffers somewhat in explaining itself through their origins. There's a certain lack of degree in character backgrounds with minimal flashbacks or character exploration. Additionally, there's confusion that arises occasionally regarding the purpose of our superheroes. Most of them seems to follow a moral of doing the right thing and helping the public. Then of course there's Hajime where some people will like her or others will find her a bit annoying for taking up most of the screen time. In many episodes, she explodes with energy and cheerfulness that contradicts the dangers of what the city faces. In fact, superheroes are supposed to take their jobs seriously and Hajime rarely has a serious expression on her face. In this perspective, viewers might not take her character or involvement in the plot itself very seriously. There's also a lack of diversity in terms of the villains that might lessen viewers' interests occasionally. Finally, the conclusion of this series might give some confusion to viewers with questions that needs legitimate answers. After watching this series, I had to scratch my head quite a few times asking myself various questions.\nGatchaman Crowds crafts its character artistically with their character designs. Hajime looks like a normal girl but her transformation can be described by more than just fascinating. There are the battles with CG elements added in that could have mixed results depending on your preferences. The futuristic setting also looks consistent where viewers can tell that its technology is beyond our times. Otherwise, Pai-man's character design makes him look less menacing as compared to the rest. Also, expect some a little of 'fan service' from Utsu-utu especially when she is wearing nothing but a bikini like outfit out in the open.\nThe soundtrack department makes sense. The OP song \"Crowds\" by White Ash plays on a heroic like orchestra with rock like beats. We get to see the majority of the characters in the opening sequences as well including a prominent villain of the show. Hajime herself sings the ED song and fits her style just right. Speaking of which, I give Maaya Uchida praise of her role as Hajime. Her voice mannerism fits Hajime's character quite well as a girl made of energy. OST wise, the show also makes sense through its insert with its action scenes, comedy sequences, and some of the more emotional small talks.\nIf science fiction is a genre you're into, Gatchaman Crowds should no doubt be on your PTW. I'm not talking about a science fiction where aliens drops from the sky and starts an invasion against humanity. Instead, I'm talking about a science fiction with heroes like you've never seen before. Hajime is one of those characters where you may end up liking or hating her. Other superheroes in the show or rather Gatchaman can also be fun to get used to. Superhero theme shows aren't very common to make it on the screen in recent years but for this show, it definitely is more than just uncommon. It's unique. It's explosive. And it's that damn awesome.\n161 (All reviews)\nKenji Nakamura, known for his iconic works like Mononoke and Tsuritama, and Tatsunoko Productions packed this and some other questions into a new original story loosely based on the old Gatchaman series way back in the 70s. The delivered product transcends that and provides a fresh story appropriate to our current timeline and technological advance. The first episode of this series could determine whether you'll be packed by the sheer amount and intensity of the conversations or irritated by the whole concept and drop it. Be sure you'll miss something if dropping, but this anime isn't made for everybody. In fact it's a glimpse into an impossible future, another dimension to mankind.\nThe story and premise look very common. A show featuring main characters who're able to transform themselves into super heroes with special suits and then fighting evil objects threatening the citizens of Tachikawa City and even the city ifself. This foundation is the only common thing, because something rather new is created on many other levels. The story starts with the selection of the main heroine Hajime as a Gatchaman. She brings up a new wind into the existing team with her extraordinary personality and different perspectives, but later more on that. Before she joined Leader Paiman and his crew, they were much more one-sided and executed every step by the rules. It seems like they never thought about what it actually means to have the responsibility of being such an entity.\nAfter Hajime joined, the story begins to unfold and question many main aspects of society and cooperation between human beings. In this world a program called GALAX exists and it connects people from all over the city and world via internet on their smartphones. Its main use consists of helping people in need by providing support from plain citizens like you and me. At first it might seem random and fetched, but you'll have to delve into the course of action to understand the way the characters think and act. Inevitably you'll start to question those aspects, to question your way of living and to question the concept of society itself. This story brings a lot with it and one can only profit from watching as well as understanding the plot.\nI'll jump right to the characters to make this more more fluid. To start right off the bat, Hajime's a really controversial protagonist. She's one of the most genki-themed characters ever made and this is one of the main reasons you'll either like or dislike her and the whole anime. There're enough people that agree that no one needs a protagonist who is happy 24/7 is a pain in the ass. The crazy thing is it still works out on the base of the story, because Hajime is not acting inconsiderate or rash, but thinks about the situation and tries to change it to the better in her own way. The insane I'll throw rainbow unicorns into your face way. Still the liking'll stand or fall depending on the light Hajime is seen in.\nEvery other member of the gatchaman crew possesses a unique personality to contribute to the advance and pace of the story. Especially the thoughts of the sweet pandaman leader Paiman're emphasised throughout the course. Likewise the more supporting characters like O.D. or Utsutsu share their contribution and determination to help fight the bad guys. One interesting point is the question whether those guys or things are really bad and evil. Initially those are fought, but Hajime trys to convince them of other ways of fighting. Every character undergoes his and her own development regarding the real purpose of gatchaman. Something like this is amazing on different levels.\nThe animation and art has a nice and clean quality and the character designs are lovely to watch. Personally I really like the hair designs, because this provides the extra eye candy and highlights of the faces. Each gatchaman battle suit has its own design and acts singular in comparison to the others. The action scenes're well animated and various passages with a calm or tense feel evoke that exact emotion. The colours're vibrant and always nice to look at. An anime worth watching on that level.\nNearly the best thing about this show's the sound, though. The OP and ED songs're iconic which makes up for a great start. My bias side says that the OST in this series's extremely awesome. A mix of opera and new vibes of dubstep merged together. How cool is that ? Always resounding at the right time and place. All along the atmosphere changes with the music and you may find yourself sympathizing with the happenings just because of the tone of the music. Along with the music, the voice acting's tremendously memorable and the actors're killing the performance. Special props to Mamoru Miyano. Nearly everyone's giving their everything to portray the characters so realistically so you would most likely get lost in this superior magnificence.\nGatchaman Crowds is an anime to love and to hate. The enjoyment is based on how much the characters are appealing to the audience and to what extent they find the story either motivating and interesting. Plenty of matters're attempted to work out. And it works. Some of these matters may remain unsolved and are left to decide for the viewer, but maybe this could be too much mystery so don't expect everything to be chewed and answered for you. Make up your mind and think for yourself. You don't have a brain for nothing. After you've finished watching you'll probably either love or hate it, or even both at the same time. Gatchaman Crowds remains memorable and clearly recognisable for the perseverance of telling this kind of a story. Even if you come to dislike it, you'll have been thinking enough to come to this conclusion. Mission achieved.\nVoltundra (All reviews)\nSince I recently finished this series (and the director's cut), I feel like I should explain why I loved this series as much as I did. Also, I have not seen the original Gatchaman, but the story is very different in Crowds, so you don't need to worry about watching anything before it. Now, for the review. Bird, go!\nStory (8): Gatchaman Crowds is both a deconstruction and homage to the traditional \"Hero saving the Earth\" story. We have a group of heroes who protect the world from the shadows and have to conceal their identities. However, when a girl named Hajime joins their group, they begin to realize that the way they used to do things might not apply to the modern world. Technology, social issues, and even the villains have all changed. The series feels surprisingly relevant, showing us that heroes don't need to have special powers, but they just have to care about the world they live in. I like the fact that, in the end, heroes and villains are all just people. Even with the \"aliens\", I have to question whether or not they are just the ugly parts of ourselves, considering what Hajime says in the director's cut.\nHowever, some people might not enjoy the lack of action for a hero series, or the relatively easy way in which certain conflicts are resolved. Either way, I think the series is worth watching for how unique it is, as an anime that questions what it means to be a \"hero\" in everyday life.\nArt (8): The art is very colorful, which makes the character designs stand out. However, the use of CG was a bit jarring at times, but it never stayed CG long enough for me to care that much.\nSound (9): First of all, the opening and ending songs were really good, but not outstanding. For the most part, the OST was the same, good without being great. However, when the series wanted you to be pumped, it delivered. I found myself tapping my foot to the beat every time.\nCharacter (9): I feel like the characters are where Gatchaman Crowds really shines. At first, I thought Hajime was not only weird, but not a character I would end up liking. However, I found myself drawn to her more and more as the series went on. She is a character with hidden depths, who isn't just hyperactive and weird, but thoughtful and caring. Each of the heroes changes in some way by the end, and while I liked some characters more than others, they all had decent development.\nEnjoyment/Overall (9): Have you ever wondered why they don't just do a certain thing in many hero anime (Didn't they have Google? Why didn't they use their cellphone?). Gatchaman Crowds tries to tackle these issues. It prefers conflict resolution in the way of changing people themselves, instead of having the main characters power up to beat the final boss. In that way, I enjoyed the series. It was different, it was upbeat, and I liked Hajime's character a lot by the end.\nWaiting for the second season...\nAixDivadis (All reviews)\nBefore you hate on me, I'd like to tell you that I actually go by the description of the rating and unlike many people, my rating system doesn't go from 7 to 10. This show is \"Fair\".\nGatchaman Crowds is more of a fun kind of series with bright and pretty colors to catch your eye, but otherwise it has few good traits. The story was mish-mashed though sometimes interesting, the characters were mostly shallow and unoriginal (with one of them blatantly ripped off) but made to appeal and it had a little bit of your usual humor that no longer makes me laugh put in. It also lacked the flash that something intending on simply being fun and amazing would have thus the series simply failed to deliver anything. The end was seriously unsatisfactory and anticlimactic.\nLet's look at the art and animation first, the good part of the series. Like many others nowadays, the colors are bright and vibrant, the art is well-done and the animation is clean, smooth and up to standard. The jewels of the series are the showy Gatchaman themselves, their designs are amazing with Paiman's being especially cool in my opinion, though they are actually seldom shown off and when they are, their fight choreography is quite mediocre. The CROWDS and the MESS, both supernatural creature type of things, are weird in design and don\u2019t look very appealing despite that the CROWDS are a very big part of the show. The human character designs are rather decent and suit their characters, I quite liked the effect of having stripes going through everyone's hair.\nNext is the story, it takes several turns which can make it seem quite disconnected, but it did do a well-rounded presentation of people in general and the power of social media (shoot me for sounding like one of those boring activists). It started off like every single other shounen out there with the secret organization randomly recruiting our main character to fight bad guys, but, they spin off on a different route after the second episode, completely abandoning the original premise after the main character solving the problem the organization is trying to solve on her first outing. The MESS, the enemy they are supposed to be fighting, are completely removed from the show until the last episode where they make a random useless cameo appearance for a single scene. I don't actually mind the turn considering how generic the original plot was, but changing the focus of the story like this isn\u2019t great for pacing. The story turns to our other main character, Rui, the crossdressing genius creator of the super-popular social networking site GALAX which promotes random acts of kindness and organises people (Though the AI that controls GALAX is extremely unrealistically powerful, I personally liked the idea of an app like GALAX), and our main villain, Katze, an alien with the motivation of having fun screwing around with people and making them destroy each other and the planet itself, a nice contrast as each tries to bring out polar opposite parts of human nature. We see a few episodes of GALAX and CROWDS, a power that the alien granted Rui, do good deeds and then it turns and focuses more on the main villain. I won\u2019t spoil anything, but Katze causes serious havoc by manipulating people and the Gatchaman have to stop him. The story comes to an anticlimactic end as they simply rely on humanity being good and believing in humanity to solve the problems rather than any of the characters really doing anything.\nThe characters can be fun, but are quite shallow with unoriginal personalities and stories. Our main character, Hajime, can really get on the nerves of some people, like her or hate her, especially with her notebook fetish the moment you meet her, her jumping around as well as the typical protagonist \u201cbad guys aren\u2019t actually evil\u201d moment in Episode 2, however for those who can somewhat stand her, her character becomes a bit more endearing as the series progresses when you familiarize yourself with her eccentricities and see her bright and carefree outlook on life. Another good point is that she isn\u2019t completely stupid like her type of character usually are and the other characters end up looking up to her indomitable spirit. I cannot say I agree with a character that never shows fear and always sees the bright side of things, not even needing any sort of support, but Hajime was a fun character and even pulled off her silly poses quite well. Rui, our other main character, wasn\u2019t too bad, he was a cross-dressing genius with no backstory, who was actually actively going out there to change the world, but the point is that he isn\u2019t flawless despite his original outward impression, he\u2019s naive but confident and thinks he can do things on her own, then actually fails and shows weakness, fortunately for the Gatchaman as they would\u2019ve otherwise lost relevance. The rest of the Gatchaman or G-Team are disappointing, Sugane was there solely for contrasting with Hajime by being serious and making a fuss over her antics, Utsutsu is your fanservice character who is an emotionless loli meant to make you like her with a backstory that didn't really connect - it appeared that she felt alienated for having a special power that has no bad points and is very useful in helping people, Paiman was comedic relief and mascot who was comically put in the position of leader, Joe is a naive cool guy (think Mustang) who hopes to achieve world peace by never getting a promotion when working for the government and OD is an utter shameless rip off of Leeron from TTGL down to the make-up and hairstyle, though he is slightly more serious and less sexual. Though he is played off as being the Gatchaman's secret weapon who will destroy the world if he were to use his powers, it turns out that nothing really happens when he does and it was all talk to make things more dramatic and to keep him from instantly owning the antagonist, they simply needed a way to take care of the overpowered villain at the finale. Part of the dialogue gets somewhat annoying as OD, Hajime and the villain, Katze, speak in that happy-go-lucky tone all the time, but it really depends on your taste here.\nEnjoyment-wise, the series didn\u2019t have any impact and didn\u2019t really have much going for it. Hajime can be sweet to those who don\u2019t mind her, but otherwise, you may very well hate the characters. The show\u2019s art is a big plus for it, but many shows nowadays can match that quality. Overall, Gatchaman Crowds really failed to anything amazing and is a mediocre show that can be used to kill time.\nMekakucity Actors4 Users\nMajin Bone4 Users\nKarneval4 Users\nConcrete Revolutio: Choujin Gensou3 Users\nTetsuwan Birdy Decode2 Users\nSekai Seifuku: Bouryaku no Zvezda2 Users\nMawaru Penguindrum1 User\nDevilman: Crybaby1 User\nUrahara1 User\nKaras1 User\nWitch Hunter Robin1 User\nToaru Kagaku no Railgun1 User\nPoll: Gatchaman Crowds Episode 2 Discussion ( 1 2 3 4 )\nVioLink - Jul 19, 2013 191 replies by Phixiately \u00bb\u00bb\nPoll: Gatchaman Crowds Episode 5 Discussion ( 1 2 3 )\nVioLink - Aug 9, 2013 106 replies by FireCrauter \u00bb\u00bb",

        "raw_content": "Knicks coach Mike D\u2019Antoni admits his seat is hot\nMike Woodson hadn\u2019t even been hired as the Knicks lead assistant coach \u2014 which became official Monday \u2014 the speculation had started. Coach Mike D\u2019Antoni\u2019s job is in serious danger.\nWhen Donnie Walsh was pushed out the door, the ground under D\u2019Antoni\u2019s feet started to shift. Woodson, the former Hawks head coach, gives the Knicks a viable alternative if D\u2019Antoni is shipped out. Plus, Woodson and Knicks acting president Glen Grunwald were teammates at Indiana. And Woodson has ties to Isiah Thomas, whose shadow still lingers over the organization (and still seems to have owner James Dolan\u2019s ear).\nYou know the New York media is all over that. D\u2019Antoni gets it, too, as reported at the New York Post.\n\u201cI think all coaches are on a one-year deal,\u201d D\u2019Antoni said on a conference call. \u201cIt\u2019s whether you get a paid vacation, but we all have to do something to earn another year, especially with the Knicks.\n\u201cIt\u2019s not like they have to keep [you] around because they\u2019re financially strapped. We have to produce. Whether it\u2019s one or 10, it doesn\u2019t matter. It\u2019s going to come down to next year.\u201d\nEither way, this is a good move for Woodson. If he can get the Knicks to play better defense \u2014 no easy feat considering the players on that roster \u2014 he\u2019s have his choice of head coaching jobs next year. If D\u2019Antoni does get kicked to the curb, Woodson is standing right there.\nAll that said, I\u2019d have a better chance guessing what Ron Artest is thinking than guessing what the Knicks will do next.\nTags: Donnie Walsh, Isiah Thomas, James Dolan, Knicks coach, Mike D'Antoni, Mike Woodson, New York Knicks",

        "raw_content": "NYYC set to create new yachting class with Swan 42\nDecember 5, 2005 In July, two of the most famous names in yacht racing formed a partnership to create a new international one-design racing class \u2013the New York Yacht Club (NYYC) and world renowned yacht manufacturer Nautor's Swan announced a new 42 foot racing yacht specifically formulated to create a worldwide one-design racing class founded around a light and extremely fast yacht. The yacht will be competitive at international sailing regattas within open divisions including IRC, and will also provide owners with a comfortable cruising experience. The yacht was born from a strong desire by a group of experienced sailors to create a truly Corinthian class that promotes high level/high performance competition within an owner-driver and amateur-sailing framework and is also focused on containing costs. With strict limitations on equipment and sail inventory, the Swan 42 is designed to prevent the \u201carms race\u201d of owners trying to out-do each other. The immediate success of the idea has been spectacular - since its announcement just four months ago, 32 of the NYYC Swan 42 boats have been sold and many other international yacht clubs are committed to the project. This coming Saturday (December 10), the New York Yacht Club (NYYC) will be making a presentation at American Yacht Club in Rye, NY, on the new NYYC Swan 42. The event is open to anyone interested in the Swan 42.\nDescribed by NYYC Commodore George R Hinman Jr as \u201cthe right yacht, at the right time\u201d, the salient details of the new 42 footer are as follows:\nIt will be a Corinthian, one-design cruiser/racer; It will be competitive as a one-design but also under IRC; The 42 footer -- designed by Frers and built by Nautor's Swan -- will be capable of cruising and racing locally as well as offshore; The Swan 42 will have strict limitations on sail inventory, sail replacement, crew numbers and professionals to keep the cost of racing down and re-sale value high; It will be a powerful, state-of-the-art yacht, showing a high-aspect-ratio rig and T-keel; The LOA is 42.6', the LWL is 37.07', beam 11.97', sail area 1,175 sq. ft. and displacement is under 13,986 lbs., of which 48 percent is ballast; It will feature two steering wheels, providing a better steering ratio and better feel; Two accommodation plans are offered: a two- or three-cabin version;\nThe New York Yacht Club and class officials, along with representatives of Nautor\u2019s Swan will be on hand to discuss the origin of the class and the principles behind it, the class rules, details on the design and construction, information on plans for expanding the class, and the projected event schedule. Sailors interested in learning more about this exciting class are invited to attend the event at the American Yacht Club at 1430 on Saturday December 10th. Please RSVP to Jack Gierhart if you intend to attend.",

W. Griffith\u2019s epic The Birth of a Nation (1915), a pro-Ku Klux Klan film that both Micheaux and Lee suggest has been a contributing factor to anti-black violence.\nWithin Our Gates focuses on the character Sylvia Landry, who is dedicated to raising money to support the education of black children, and whose tragic past is revealed in series of flashbacks, including a shocking sequence (which resulted in the widespread censorship and outright banning of the film) depicting the lynching of her parents at the hands of a white vigilante mob.\nWithin Our Gates has been preserved and restored by the Library of Congress, and was released in 2016 mastered in HD, and with a new soundtrack composed by Paul D.

        "raw_content": "A Cause For Courage\nThe material that follows has been provided by New Internationalist\nWhat on earth is inducing ordinary Tibetans to cross - on foot and at night - the highest, bleakest, most perilous mountain paths in the world ? Vanessa Baird begins her investigations in Nepal.\nIt's monsoon time in Kathmandu. Heat and torrential rain alternate, mud and dust just compete. I'm heading for Ichango village. So, over the years, have many thousands of refugees who have escaped Tibet since the Chinese invaded their country in 1950. They approach it from a different direction and in a rather different way though - over the highest mountain range in the world.\nAt Ichango is the Tibetan Refugee Reception Centre, a collection of ramshackle buildings which have sprung up in the midst of the brilliant green paddyfields that lie between the city and the mountains. I have just heard that 31 escapees from Tibet arrived the previous day.\nFor six weeks they trekked across the mountains, moving by night to avoid detection. They arrived exhausted, wet, hungry, dirty, with swollen feet and covered in insect bites. To add to their misery they had been beaten and robbed by Nepalese border guards - an increasingly common occurrence.\nI'm sitting in the clinic with Sonam, a Tibetan nurse who looks after 'new arrivals'. Four small boys - aged six to eleven - suddenly appear. Sonam gives them a pair of nail-clippers and they set about attending to each other's toes.\n'Are these refugees?'\n'Did they come with their parents?'\n'Oh no, their parents sent them off by themselves.'\nI hadn't expected this. How can presumably loving parents send their tiny children alone on such a perilous journey? 'It's quite common,' says Sonam. 'I had a four-month-old baby arrive last year. The mother just gave him to the guide and asked him to take him to the Dalai Lama. The parents think they are doing the best thing for their children, for their future.'\nI start to interview the boys, one by one. 'Six,' replies Wangdu to my second question. He's a skinny, fidgety, big-eyed, mousey little fellow, with a heart-wrenchingly small husky voice.\nHow was the journey? 'It was difficult,' he replies. 'There was so little food. Sometimes we didn't get any for two days. And it was difficult trying to keep up with the others.' It is not uncommon for guides to abandon 'stragglers'.\nWangdu comes from a fairly poor background. His mother washes dishes in a restaurant in Lhasa, his father is unemployed. Wangdu goes to school but it is a Chinese school, he says, and the Chinese teacher ignores the Tibetan pupils. That is why his parents have decided that the best thing for him is to come over to India.\nWangdu's situation is typical. The other boys have also come 'for their education'.\nThe journey sounds hair-raising. For seven-year-old Tsering the worst thing was when he nearly fell off the mountainside while they were walking at night. I ask the eldest boy, who like the nurse is called Sonam (Tibetan names are not gender specific), how it felt to get over the border into Nepal at last. He says he felt nothing. 'The guide had lied to us so many times before, saying we were nearly in Nepal, that I just thought he was lying again.'\nSonam, who seems to look after the younger boys, is the only one who allows himself to shed a few tears as he is talking. Only when a nurse is bandaging little Wangdu's wound - sustained during a police beating - does he look as if he might cry but he quickly stops himself. It makes me wonder what psychological damage has been done in the past six weeks.\nClipped toe nails and a safe haven for Dawa (8), Sonam (11), Wangdu (6) and Tsering (7). (right)\nThe nurse and I cross the fields and make our way to the dormitory to find some of the other refugees. On the way we meet a group of them who are heading for the nearest stupa - a Buddhist dome-shaped structure with a peaked top. One of them - a nun - has been badly beaten by border guards. But they seem otherwise to be relaxed and in good spirits.\nWe arrive at the dormitory, a simple barrack-like building, quite inadequate for the needs of all the refugees who turn up here. They stay for about a week, during which time they are interviewed by officials from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), and are given food, clothing and medical treatment. Many arrive suffering from frostbite, and have to have toes amputated. They are then bussed off to the northern Indian town of Dharamsala, home of the Tibetan Government-in-Exile. Conditions in the camp may be spartan, but compared with nights near Everest it probably feels like a five-star hotel.\nNone of the new arrivals are overtly political refugees. Most have left to pursue their education - this often means their Buddhist education and so it counts for asylum purposes as an escape from religious oppression. We find 17-year-old Khatup Tso sitting smiling on the grass with her 14-year-old friend. They are wearing clean clothes - the yak skins and other heavy garments that protected them on the journey are lying drying on the grass nearby.\nIt doesn't take long to realize that Khatup Tso is a very determined young woman. This is her second attempt to get out of Tibet. Her first ended in failure a few months ago, when she was sent back and had a spell in a Lhasa prison. Once released she worked, saved and tried again. She comes not from Lhasa but from the Eastern province of Amdo. Why is she so determined to leave Tibet?\n'Because I want to learn English.'\n'Because once I learn English I can go back to Tibet and I can do anything.'\n'Where did you get this idea from? Do you know anyone who has done this?'\n'No. I don't know anyone. It's my idea.'\n'And what does your family say?'\n'They say, 'Go and study well'.'\nI'm thinking there might be easier ways of getting English lessons. I am also wondering if this meets the conditions for seeking asylum. But this girl's decision is indicative of at least one of the forms of oppression Tibetans are experiencing in their own country.\nOne of the most common complaints is that there are no opportunities for Tibetans in their country. Education and employment are tilted in favour of Chinese migrants - now reckoned to outnumber Tibetans. I wonder what is going to happen when Khatup realizes that things are not as she thinks, that life is not hunky dory for Tibetans in exile; and that knowing English may not be the key that opens all those closed doors when she gets back. Then I think of the setbacks she has already experienced and how she has coped with them. I fancy her drive and energy may change direction, but it's not going to go up in a puff of despair.\n'Tibetans are very determined people,' comments Sonam. A couple days later I make a return trip to the camp and find more of the refugees washing their clothes and relaxing. This time my interpreter is Tashi, a former Tibetan resistance fighter who now co-runs the Potala Tourist Home in Kathmandu. He's a warm man with a big smile and a wicked sense of humour.\nLying under a tree is Rinchen Dolma. From a distance she looks like a daydreaming teenager, elbows on the grass, her chin cupped in her hands.\nShe sits up to greet us as we get nearer. I realize that in fact she is an elderly woman and the lines of her face tell a story that is hardly the stuff of daydreams.\nBorn into a fairly well-to-do rural family 60 years ago, she became an obvious target of Chinese Communist 're-education'. She was sent to various labour camps for a total of 20 years, and was eventually released 10 years ago. Her parents died in Chinese jails. Both in the labour camps and in her village the Chinese authorities vilified her as a 'class enemy'.\nAfter her release she was not allowed to leave her village, but was eventually granted a visa to go on a pilgrimage to Mount Kailas, one of Tibet's holy mountains. As this mountain is not far from the border with Nepal she - together with her husband and son - took the opportunity to join a group of escapees. Once over the border she was arrested, beaten and stripped by Nepalese guards, who took all her money. She finally arrived here five days ago, having walked through 25 nights.\nShe tells her story without anger or bitterness. But she is very certain of one thing: she doesn't want to go back to Tibet. 'I don't want to die under the Chinese.' To a Buddhist this is more than just a turn of phrase. The conditions under which you die can affect your reincarnation.\nWe leave them there, crossing the sweet-smelling basmati ricefields. This place feels like a welcome haven, a pause for the refugees before the long bus ride to Dharamsala, where they will get a blessing from the Dalai Lama. 'That will make everything all right,' says 17-year-old Khatup.\nThese refugees are the lucky ones. No- one knows how many are being turned back at the border - some even get as far as the immigration centre at Kathmandu before being turned back.\nThis is not meant to happen. Since April this year border guards - and sometimes the police - have been sending back refugees or physically handing them over to the Chinese in exchange for 'gifts'. This goes against Nepalese Government policy - and its understanding with UNHCR, according to whom 227 refugees were deported in the first half of this year. These are only the reported ones: the real figure is likely to be much higher.\nI talk with Tashi Namjyal, the Tibetan Government-in-Exile's representative in Nepal. He's particularly worried about two former political prisoners who were sent back. Both were imprisoned for their part in the 1987 demonstrations in Lhasa - one is a 70-year-old tailor called Tsewang and the other is Thuptren Tsering, a 63-year-old monk from Sera monastery who was also imprisoned between 1959 and 1979.\nThere is mounting pressure on the Nepalese Government - especially from the US and the Netherlands - to control its border guards. But Nepal is also under pressure from China, not just a powerful neighbour but a major investor and donor of aid.\nThe UNHCR is offering practical help to Nepal, including training for border officials on how to treat refugees. Listening to the refugees' stories it sounds as if they could do with it.\nLeaving the camp I wonder whether I shall see any of these refugees in Dharamsala, at the end of my own journey. What will have happened to them?\n'They don't begin to realize the difficulties of exile,' Tashi sighs. 'But they are enjoying their first taste of freedom now. I don't want to spoil it for them.'\nPreventing the killing of Tibet's mother tongue\nTibetan faces rapid urbanization, dwindling numbers of native speakers, and the even greater threat of Chinese policies, writes...\nChina's climate transition\nIs the world's most populous country a climate villain or an environmental leader?

        "raw_content": "Building a Home Versus Buying a Home\nThe home buying process can be a long, drawn-out and complicated process that can become a very stressful time. Very rarely can potential homeowners find an existing house that meets all of their needs, so often they are required to settle for a less than ideal property. The advantages of having a custom home built is that the buyer can customize the unit to fit all of the items on their \u201cwish list.\u201d\nObviously, there are some advantages to purchasing a pre-owned home, most notably would be that often, the process does not take as long as it would to build one from scratch. But that is essentially where the pros end. Building a custom home opens up a world of possibilities from choosing the home site that suits the buyer to having control over everything from the amount of bedrooms and baths to what kind of door handles will be used on the closet doors. The freedom of customizations opens up the prospective buyer to enjoy the full experience of a new home.\nEveryone Has a Job During the Home Building Process\nThere will be scores of people and teams involved in the home building process and it is important to understand the roles and responsibilities of each one. Not only will it relieve the stress of the process, but it ensures no one steps on anyone else\u2019s toes or wades into territory not well suited to their skill sets.\nThe Homeowner: The homeowner is the core member or members of the process. A prepared homeowner is one that is focused on their needs as is able to clearly communicate them to other teams. They take the lead in the customization of the new home and provide insight and goals to many of the other teams.\nReal Estate Professionals: Agents and brokers play an important role in helping the homeowner locate an appropriate parcel of land to build on and take the lead when it comes to the legal paperwork that needs to be filed in order to successfully close a sale.\nThe Builder: The builder and associated teams are in charge of the actual construction of the home. They interpret the plans provided by the building designers and communicate with the homeowner to ensure the work meets their vision. Homeowners are encouraged to consult with a number of custom home contractors before settling on a builder.\nFinancial Representatives: A lending institution representative will work with the homeowner to get loan financing approved as well as ensure payments are made to the builder according the schedule they have set.\nArchitects: These teams design homes and provide blueprints to the builder.\nSpecialty Contractors: These teams deal with specialized aspects of the building process. They include electricians, HVAC professionals, roofers and concrete contractors.\nGovernment Officials: All towns and municipalities have inspectors who ensure the work is safe and up to code. The builder will work directly with these people.\nBefore any steps can be taken toward building a custom home, the homeowner must have financing in place. Often the lender will guide the homeowner through this process and take care of all the paperwork that is necessary to gain loan approval. The first part of this process is to gauge the buyer\u2019s credit worthiness. This is done through the credit report process that will return a FICA score. Although the lender will run a report for the buyer, it\u2019s always a wise idea to have your own report run beforehand so there are no surprises.\nChoosing a mortgage after a loan approval is another important consideration. Mortgages generally come in 15 and 30 year terms. The former will have a higher monthly payment but the buyer will end up paying less interest over the live of the loan. Likewise, the latter will have a lower payment with a higher amount paid in interest.\nDepending on the financial situation of the buyer, the down payment will be the amount the homeowner brings to the table at closing. Those that can afford the standard 20% down can go for a traditional loan while those that can afford less will most likely take on a FHA loan. While FHA loans cost less up front, borrowers will be required to pay mortgage insurance until the home is 20% paid off.\nSelecting a Home Site\nOnce the financing is in order, homeowners can begin prospecting for potential home sites. Many builders will own a tract of land where buyers can select a lot or they can find a lot elsewhere that suits them. A real estate agent can help with this selection process. Always remember these items when selecting a home site:\nUtilities: Does the lot have electric, water and septic access? If not, the buyer is responsible for those extra costs.\nNeighborhood: Buyers should always research the neighborhood before settling on a lot. Talking to the locals can also help with this process.\nHomeowner needs: The buyer should have a clear idea of the type of home site they want. In a neighborhood? In the woods or rural area? What type of vegetation does the soil support?\nSelecting Custom Features\nPerhaps the most exciting part of the home building process is the customization of the new home. Homeowners generally are able to choose everything from kitchen cabinets to tile and grout colors as well as carpet colors and the location of electrical outlets. Customization also includes light fixtures, building materials (roof shingles, Tyvek, lumber, etc.) Homeowners are wise to have a detailed outline of their needs before entering into this process.\nUnderstanding How Long it Takes to Build a New Home\nThe building process can take anywhere from four to six months or even longer depending on the customization and government inspection process. Most builders will provide a general timeline for the buyer to use as a reference point. Prospective homeowners should always obtain a timeline from the builder and follow up if the timeline is not being met.\nNeed more resources?

        "raw_content": "If you\u2019ve experienced leg pain that seems to be emanating from a vein but are unsure what it is, it may be venous insufficiency. Pain, swelling, itchiness, leathery skin, or loss of cosmesis are symptoms of venous insufficiency and a warning of when to see a vascular specialist. Allowing any symptom to linger too long, can lead to much more serious conditions.\nHealthline defines the process of your body\u2019s blood flow as functioning properly when it operates within an intricately simple system. The arteries carry blood from your heart to other parts of your body, and the veins return it back to the heart. Valves act as the stopgap in your veins to keep blood from flowing backward.\nIf the veins are not able to return blood to your heart for some reason, then it begins to pool where its movement is blocked in your legs. This is known as venous insufficiency. You may be having trouble with a blood clot or varicose veins.\nBlood Clot: A blood clot restricts the flow of blood, and as a result, blood pools below the clot.\nVaricose Veins: Blood leaks back through damaged valves.\nWeakness in the Leg Muscles: May result in squeezing the blood forward.\nIs Venous Insufficiency Painful?\nWhile pain is one of the symptoms associated with venous insufficiency, its effects may vary depending on the severity and placement of the vein condition.\nSome people experience a feeling of heaviness in the leg, while others may describe their discomfort as achiness. An itching or throbbing sensation may also occur. If the situation has become acute, extreme pain can occur while standing or walking.\nIs Venous Insufficiency Life Threatening?\nAccording to the National Center for Biotechnology Institute (NCBI), vein disease is common and manageable if caught during the early stages. A vascular specialist can diagnose the severity of your situation. If your symptoms are not bothersome, you may benefit from exercise, weight loss, wearing compression stockings, or elevating your leg.\nIf left untreated, however, venous insufficiency can result in loss of cosmesis in addition to serious complications, such as thrombosis, ulcers, or bleeding.\nWhy Vein Disease Should Never Be Ignored\nThe circulatory system is essential to the body\u2019s overall health.\nVeins and arteries are an integral part of this system, as they are responsible for transporting blood to and from the heart.\nVeins bring blood back to the heart and are prone to complications since they must work against gravity.\nLeft untreated, vein-related complications like vein disease can cause serious health complications.\nWhat Happens When Vein Disease Is Left Untreated\nDiscolored, Itchy Skin\nWhen the veins do not work properly and the blood flow from your body to your heart is decreased, the skin can become dry and itchy. As the blood is not flowing at its optimal speed, the skin can also become discolored and swollen. When this inflammation becomes chronic, it can be referred to as stasis dermatitis.\nThis only occurs when stasis dermatitis has worsened. The symptoms of cellulitis include red and swollen skin, chills and fever, and swollen lymph nodes. This typically happens when vein disease intensifies, and treatment is not sought.\nWhen cellulitis sets in, the risk of a lethal bacterial infection sepsis increases dramatically.\nUlcers and Spontaneous Bleeding\nAs vein disease progresses, the body\u2019s veins either become enlarged or deteriorate over time. If the vein\u2019s capabilities have decreased dramatically, blood may pool in the varicose veins. This forces them to become more swollen and create painful ulcers.\nUlcers caused by untreated vein disease can itch, burn, cause rashes, and dry out skin. They may be a brown color and ooze or bleed with a foul-smelling substance.\nDeep vein thrombosis happens when a blood clot is formed within the veins of the leg or other body parts. It can happen when veins are no longer able to bring blood back to the heart and create a clot within the leg.\nWhen a clot is created because of untreated vein disease, a pulmonary embolism can occur. This occurs when a blood vessel becomes blocked by a clot that has traveled to the lung.\nThere are a variety of ways to maintain the health of your circulatory system and many treatment methods for vein disease and other vein-related issues.\nWhen you have concerns about the health of your veins, contact the New Jersey Vein and Vascular Center for diagnosis and treatment of vascular disorders.",

        "raw_content": "Corrupt security cop got position on Wilders team despite previous integrity conviction: report\nHow suspected corrupt police officer Faris K. managed to get a job in the high ranking Safety and Security Service despite a previous integrity conviction, is leading to consternation in the police ranks. Considering the screening process necessary to join the Safety and Security Service, former Geert Wilders security guard Rico Briedjal thinks it was difficult, but possible, he said to newspaper AD Members of the Service are calling for stricter screenings.\nFaris K. advanced to the elite Safety and Security Service in 2013. He worked as part of the Wilders team, though not as one of Wilders actual body guards. K. worked as a \"scout\" and was responsible for assessing the risks around places Wilders was set to visit. This included analyzing the places, checking possible escape routes and routes to nearby safe houses.\nTo get this job, K. had to undergo a so-called P-screening done by the Department of Safety, Integrity and Complaints under the supervision of intelligence service AIVD. It seems impossible that he made it through this screening, given the fact that he was convicted for leaking police information in 2008. But according to former Wilders guard Briedjal, this often comes down to a personal assessment by the person doing the screening.\nThe \"nature and gravity of the offense\" and the age of the person when he committed the offense are taken into account, Briedjal said to AD. \"It is a question of proportionality\" he said. \"I think he should not have been allowed to continue working for the police, but according to the letter of the screening the AIVD can give someone like him consent.\"\nThe P-screening involves a number of aspects, including discussions with one or more references. \"In such a case it is much more up to the investigator how far that goes\", Briedjal said. \"The field research is limited. Even if the threshold should be higher in my opinion.\"\nMembers of the Safety and Security Service are also calling for more intense screenings before people are allowed to join in future, police union NPB said, according to NU.nl. According to chairman Jan Struijs, the \"bar must be higher\" because leaks also put other employees of the service in danger. In response to Faris K. leaking information, the police decided to re-check all current members of the service. The current members were also asked how the screening can be improved.\nIn practice the Safety and Security Service has trouble finding enough candidates, sources said to AD. Those who eventually want to reach the post of personal body guard have to undergo 16 weeks of physical and psychological tests, screening and a training period. All in all this takes about a year, according to the newspaper.\nFaris K.\nSafety and Security department\nRico Briedjal",

It\u2019s not a store I usually go to but I was in the area so I stopped.

        "raw_content": "By Jamie Varon \u2022 02/10/16 2:06pm\n(Photo: L\u00e9a Dubedout/Unsplash)\nWe act as if we can read enough articles and enough little Pinterest quotes and suddenly the little switch in our brain will put us into action. But, honestly, here\u2019s the thing that nobody really talks about when it comes to success and motivation and willpower and goals and productivity and all those little buzzwords that have come into popularity: you are as you are until you\u2019re not. You change when you want to change. You put your ideas into action in the timing that is best. That\u2019s just how it happens.\nAnd what I think we all need more than anything is this: permission to be wherever the fuck we are when we\u2019re there.\nYou\u2019re not a robot. You can\u2019t just conjure up motivation when you don\u2019t have it. Sometimes you\u2019re going through something. Sometimes life has happened. Life! Remember life? Yeah, it teaches you things and sometimes makes you go the long way around for your biggest lessons. You don\u2019t get to control everything. You can wake up at 5am every day until you\u2019re tired and broken, but if the words or the painting or the ideas don\u2019t want to come to fruition, they won\u2019t. You can show up every day to your best intentions, but if it\u2019s not the time, it\u2019s just not the fucking time. You need to give yourself permission to be a human being.\nSometimes the novel is not ready to be written because you haven\u2019t met the inspiration for your main character yet. Sometimes you need two more years of life experience before you can make your masterpiece into something that will feel real and true and raw to other people. Sometimes you\u2019re not falling in love because whatever you need to know about yourself is only knowable through solitude. Sometimes you haven\u2019t met your next collaborator. Sometimes your sadness encircles you because, one day, it will be the opus upon which you build your life.\nWe all know this: that our experience cannot always be manipulated. Yet, we don\u2019t act as though we know this truth. We try so hard to manipulate and control our lives, to make creativity into a game to win, to shortcut success because others say they have, to process emotions and uncertainty as if these are linear journeys.\nYou don\u2019t get to game the system of your life. You just don\u2019t. You don\u2019t get to control every outcome and aspect as a way to never give in to the uncertainty and unpredictability of something that\u2019s beyond what you understand. It\u2019s the basis of presence: to show up as you are in this moment and let that be enough.\nYet, we don\u2019t act in a way that supports this lifestyle. We fill every minute with productivity tools and read 30-point lists on how to better drive out natural, human impulse. We often forget that we are as we are until we\u2019re not. We are the same until we\u2019re changed. We can move that a bit further by putting into place healthy habits and to show up to our lives in a way that fosters growth, but we can\u2019t game timing. Timing is the one thing that we often forget to surrender to.\nThings are dark until they\u2019re not. Most of our unhappiness stems from the belief that our lives should be different than they are. We believe we have control\u200a\u2014\u200aand our self-loathing and self-hatred comes from this idea that we should be able to change our circumstances, that we should be richer or hotter or better or happier. While self-responsibility is empowering, it can often lead to this resentment and bitterness that none of us need to be holding within us. We have to put in our best efforts and then give ourselves permission to let whatever happens to happen\u2014and to not feel so directly and vulnerably tied to outcomes. Opportunities often don\u2019t show up in the way we think they will.\nYou don\u2019t need more motivation or inspiration to create the life you want. You need less shame around the idea that you\u2019re not doing your best. You need to stop listening to people who are in vastly different life circumstances and life stages than you tell you that you\u2019re just not doing or being enough. You need to let timing do what it needs to do. You need to see lessons where you see barriers. You need to understand that what\u2019s right now becomes inspiration later. You need to see that wherever you are now is what becomes your identity later.\nSometimes we\u2019re not yet the people we need to be in order to contain the desires we have. Sometimes we have to let ourselves evolve into the place where we can allow what we want to transpire.\nLet\u2019s just say that whatever you want, you want it enough. So much so that you\u2019re making yourself miserable in order to achieve it. What about chilling out? Maybe your motivation isn\u2019t the problem, but that you keep pushing a boulder up a mountain that only grows in size the more you push.\nThere\u2019s a magic beyond us that works in ways we can\u2019t understand. We can\u2019t game it. We can\u2019t 10-point list it. We can\u2019t control it. We have to just let it be, to take a fucking step back for a moment, stop beating ourselves up into oblivion, and to let the cogs turn as they will. One day, this moment will make sense. Trust that.\nGive yourself permission to trust that.\nJamie Varon is a writer living in Los Angeles. You can connect with her on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.",

        "raw_content": "A Thank You Note to Our Ocean\n\u00a9 Josh Sorenson\nAs 2017 winds down to a close, and as we all join our families to celebrate a season of togetherness, joy, and appreciation, we can\u2019t help but appreciate the countless gifts our ocean offers us each and every day. Recently, we came across an adorable and quite seasonally-appropriate holiday: National Thank You Note Day. I started to think about what I\u2019m personally most thankful for this year. And the one thing that kept coming back to my mind?\nSure, it seems pretty obvious that people who work for an ocean conservation group would clearly love and adore the sea beyond words. But, as I continued reflecting, I wondered: how often do we truly take the time to mindfully appreciate all our ocean gives us on a regular basis? From promoting relaxation and positive, calming vibes, to providing millions of people with a reliable food source, to the air we breathe and the water we drink, the sea provides both our bodies and minds with innumerable things that our lives would never be the same without.\nSo this year, we\u2019re ready to acknowledge those gifts, and thank our ocean for so many things\u2026\nThank you for your ability to inspire, and for instilling in us a sense of wonder and curiosity that\u2019s beyond what we can put into words. Close to 95% of our ocean remains unexplored by mankind. I don\u2019t know about you, but it seems to me that a statistic like that certainly leaves a renewed sense of wonder and curiosity about our great blue planet.\nThank you for providing our world with food\u2026if only we show it the respect and treatment it deserves. From fish to oysters to mussels and more, countless coastal communities and indigenous groups rely on healthy oceans for both steady dietary provisions and stable local economies. Without our seas, these communities truly would never be the same. Countless cultures center their livelihood and communities around the sea, making our ocean the foundation of cultures around the world.\n\u00a9 2013 Barbara Kinney/Ocean Conservancy All Rights Reserved\nThank you for seeing us all as equals\u2014for being being pure-heartedly and gracefully free from the superficial assumptions. Whether sourced from our biases on race, gender, religion, abilities, or otherwise, you show us that the sea is welcoming and willing to show its beauty to all who wish to see and appreciate it, no matter who they are or where they come from.\nThank you for bringing communities together with a united cause for a greater good. Across our country and the globe, thousands have come together each year to participate in the International Coastal Cleanup. Even after some of the most catastrophic natural disasters, cleanup efforts have brought people together and illustrated the tie that binds us: a love for each other, and a love for our ocean.\n\u00a9 Joy Asico\nThank you, thank you, thank you\u2026for being beautiful, educational, calming, and awe-inspiring, all at once. Without the influence of our ocean on how so many of us view the world (with a sense of wonder, humility, and limitless curiosity), we would never be the same. So again\u2026\nTo our ocean, thank you.\nWhile this year has brought quite the number of obstacles and difficulties to those trying to protect you, rest assured, we won\u2019t give up on you.\nWe see you, and we\u2019re fighting for you. No matter what happens, we\u2019re excited for the start of 2018, symbolizing a fresh start and renewed energy for our work to protect and preserve you.",

        "raw_content": "Kent Moors\nDr. Kent Moors is an internationally recognized expert in oil and natural gas policy, risk management, emerging market economic development, and market risk assessment. His\u2026\nBy Kent Moors - Dec 21, 2017, 12:00 PM CST\nIn about a year, Saudi Arabia is going to unleash the largest IPO in the world \u2013 ultimately transforming the entire energy investing landscape.\nMake no mistake, the sale of a 5 percent position in oil giant Aramco will be a once-in-a-generation opportunity.\nThat\u2019s why, as the market moves toward this historic placement, it is something we\u2019re going to continue to follow closely.\nWith the countdown clock to the deadline starting to wind down, today I\u2019m going to sketch out everything my sources are telling me about this colossal IPO.\nAnd then I\u2019ll show you how we\u2019re going to play it.\nBut first, you need to understand what this IPO means\u2026\nSaudi Arabia\u2019s \u201cNext Move\u201d\nAfter the IPO, the Saudis will continue to control 95 percent of Aramco.\nThe overall value of both the placement and the company at large will be based on the market price of oil in the ground.\nIt also means the Saudis will have to provide transparent reserve figures, which has been a recurring concern since 1979.\nIn that year, Saudi Arabia took over control of Aramco from a consortium of American companies.\nThat is also the last time there were any official figures on how much extractable crude oil was in the fields.\nThis is the \u201cnext Saudi move\u201d in the IPO.\nWe will be moving into high gear once Aramco announces an independent third-party specialist to assess oil reserves, conditions of major reservoirs, and extraction potential.\nThis is where the IPO has \u201cmeat put on its bones.\u201d\nRiyadh obviously wants as high a price for the IPO as possible.\nHowever, that requires they release detailed reserve figures and projections.\nIn this sense, they are no different than any operating company floating shares.\nThe price an investor is prepared to pay is dependent on the market value of known extractable reserves, not on what is actually sold into the market on any given day. Related: What\u2019s Next For U.S. Shale Giants?\nBut here is the crucial piece of information you need to understand\u2026\nThis IPO will introduce a very different investment strategy that will transform perspectives and expectations, as we have known them\u2026.\nAs I\u2019ve mentioned previously here at Oil & Energy Investor, the real game changer is what the IPO proceeds will be used for.\nThe Saudis intend to diversify their domestic economy and wean themselves from being a rentier state dependent on selling oil.\nBut that diversification will come from a unique approach.\nRather than based primarily on moving non-oil industry into Saudi Arabia, the diversification will unfold by acquiring non-oil assets someplace else.\nThe objective will be to diversify the revenue flow, with the sources of that revenue both external and in broad sectors of the market.\nConsider this: the model for such an approach already exists.\nThe Norwegian is the best-known sovereign wealth fund (SWF) in the world and the oldest.\nIt utilizes revenues from the sale of oil and natural gas, is set up to finance the country\u2019s ambitious social welfare program, and provides a fiscal buffer for the central budget in the event of a decline in oil and gas market prices.\nBut it is a further aspect of Norway\u2019s fund that parallels Saudi Arabia\u2019s intentions the most.\nThe Largest SWF the World Has Ever Seen\nAs of the fourth quarter of 2017, it has invested in 1.5 percent of all equity stocks publicly traded on all exchanges worldwide.\nEach SWF, especially those based on natural resource sales (oil, natural gas, precious and other metals, etc.) have to be concerned with repatriating currency from sales.\nIn a phenomenon understood since David Hume in the late eighteenth century, returning hard currency (or gold and silver in Hume\u2019s time) from foreign trade inflates the domestic currency and distorts the economy.\nHume called it the \u201cprice-specie flow mechanism.\u201d\nThe capital influx increases the domestic money supply, thereby raising the prices of a country\u2019s exports.\nThis price rise, in turn, cuts into any balance of payments surplus. Therefore, any attempt to have a permanent surplus is self-defeating in practice.\nA more recent postscript to this is directly aimed at petrol-trading countries. Aimed at the aftermath following the discovery of substantial North Sea natural gas off of the Netherlands, it has become the modern version of Hume\u2019s discovery.\nAnything that ends up providing an appreciable increase in foreign hard currency into an economy will translate into\u2026\n\u2022 Currency appreciation;\n\u2022 Reducing the competitiveness of other (in our case non-oil or gas) national commodities;\n\u2022 Localized inflation (especially in those sectors of the economy having the least connection to the one providing the currency influx);\n\u2022 And will mitigate against domestic diversification by encouraging the movement of non-resource dependent industry to less expensive locations.\nIn short, unless the new money is segregated from the domestic economy, it will have a major negative impact.\nFor this reason, SWFs, especially from oil-producing states, invest abroad and tightly control the repatriation of investment proceeds back home.\nOnce leverage is done, the Saudi investment fund created around the Aramco IPO will be the largest SWF the world has ever seen.\nYou owe it to yourself to make this year different\u2026\nAs has been the case with other SWFs, it needs to invest abroad to avoid producing significant inflation domestically.\nOf course, Aramco has had to wrestle with this concern for years.\nThe huge influx of funds arising from the Aramco IPO, however, will be like putting this problem on steroids.\nThat\u2019s why I know that it is going to transform how we evaluate what an \u201cenergy\u201d investment is. Related: Wall Street Returns To U.S. Shale With A Bang\nThe base of this huge new SWF will be the value of Aramco\u2019s oil.\nThat\u2019s the energy part.\nBut the investments that happen as a result will be global and will be in virtually every sector of the traded markets.\nA mammoth Saudi oil-based investment vehicle is going to be moving into everything from technology to recreation, consumer goods to real estate, and chemicals to industrial production.\nWith some traditional energy, renewables, efficiency, and field technology thrown in for good measure.\nFor you here at Oil & Energy Investor, I\u2019m going to be leveraging my global network to find out early indications of where that Saudi money will be moving into, so we can target publicly-traded companies on the Saudi\u2019s acquisition \u201chit list.\u201d\nThis is unlike any other energy investment strategy\u2026ever.\nAnd I hope you are as excited as I am to jump right in.\nBy Dr. Kent Moors\nU.S. Asks China To Implement New Oil Sanctions On North Korea\nThe Next Big Hurdle For Keystone XL\nToyota Could Become Tesla\u2019s Next Big Headache\nWill Ecuador\u2019s Mining Sector Return To Its Golden Days?\nThe Bearish Case For Oil Stocks\nMe on December 21 2017 said:\nJump right in! Good luck.\nYou got one thing right: \"The overall value of both the placement and the company at large will be based on the market price of oil in the ground.\" That is, Aramco's reserves.\nIf they really had 260 B bbls ... do you think\n> they'd have such a hard time producing 12 MM bbls/d ... they've been targeting for years\n> they'd be investing in high cost/low quality offshore oil reserves\nIt will be enlightening to read the 3rd party reserves report...and see who signs off on it.",

        "raw_content": "Greetings all, and welcome to tonight\u2019s results show. Spoilers will be live-blogged below the fold once the show begins.\nA couple of quick announcements before I log my predictions.\nMJ, of MJ\u2019s Big Blog, was the subject of a nice profile in the Boston Globe this week. MJ is apparently very modest, because she didn\u2019t even highlight it on her site, sticking it below the fold in one of her Idol Headlines posts.\nFor those of you not familiar, MJ\u2019s Big Blog has the most complete Idol coverage that I\u2019ve seen on the Web. If she doesn\u2019t cover it herself, she links to it. I try to avoid spoilers, so it\u2019s verboten to me Monday and Tuesday, but I read it religiously from Tuesday after the show all the way through the weekend. If you\u2019re looking for Idol coverage beyond show recaps, this is your starting place. Check it out. Congratulations to MJ for the much-deserved recognition.\nMeanwhile, the folks at Vote for the Worst have launched their second annual charity auction, benefiting the American Cancer Society. See here for details on the items for auction (some great stuff) and information on how to bid or donate.\nWho Should be in the Bottom Two\nDanny Gokey. Yet another phoned-in performance. He\u2019s taking this for granted. Don\u2019t let him get away with it.\nMatt Giraud. Long past his sell-by date.\nWho Will be in the Bottom Two\nMatt Giraud. I think everyone recognizes that it\u2019s time for him to go.\nKris Allen. Doesn\u2019t deserve it, but an opening slot and vote-splitting with Matt will put him here anyway.\nI think they\u2019ll only do a bottom two with just five contestants, but on the off chance they do a bottom three, throw Kris in the should-be category and Allison in the will-be category.\nPoll results, live-blogging, and spoilers below the fold once the show starts at 8:00 Central.\n2 Comments\t| American Idol\t| Tagged: Adam Lambert, Allison Iraheta, American Idol, American Idol 2009, American Idol Results, American Idol Season 8, Danny Gokey, Jamie Foxx, Kris Allen, Matt Giraud, Natalie Cole, Taylor Hicks\t| Permalink\nAmerican Idol Power Rankings: 4/28/09\nThe top three remain firmly entrenched, and while an Adam versus Allison final seems too much to ask for at this point, an Adam versus Kris final may be possible.\nAt the bottom\u2013Matt or Danny? Danny or Matt? Tough one there. I didn\u2019t like either of them last night but disliked Matt\u2019s ultra-boring \u201cMy Funny Valentine\u201d slightly more than Gokey\u2019s needlessly bombastic \u201cCome Rain or Come Shine,\u201d but not enough to drop him below the lazy Gokey, who hasn\u2019t developed since the contest began and who does not appear to be trying.\nAdam Lambert. Last night\u2019s performance was probably his worst to date, but he\u2019s so good, his worst isn\u2019t very bad.\nAllison Iraheta. A big, big comeback right when she needed it the most. A superb performance, possibly her best of the year, will hopefully keep her in this thing for one more week.\nKris Allen. If it can\u2019t be Allison in the final, it should be Kris. He\u2019s been remarkably consistent and, unlike Matt or Danny, understands the value of subtlety.\nMatt Giraud. At least he\u2019s trying.\nDanny Gokey. While he may possess the raw talent to be a better singer than Matt or Kris, he is making no effort to develop that talent. Taking plays off got Randy Moss sent to the Hell that is the Oakland Raiders. It ought to get Gokey sent home.\nFormer Housemate Mike sends his reflections and rankings.\nAllison Iraheta. Best of the night. She showed something really strong tonight that made me seriously doubt Simon\u2019s comments, which rarely happens. Great arrangement, great vocals. I\u2019m still not entirely sure why she\u2019s not considered more of a contender.\nAdam Lambert. Really good moments in this performance, but I was only occasionally blown away. I think he has set a different standard for himself, which, though awesome, might be a deterrent in the long run. He was like a musical James Bond villain tonight which is a compliment and insult at the same time. I really want him to do Skid Row. I\u2019ll leave it at that.\nDanny Gokey. I really liked him tonight. I think this is the second time with him that I have gone against my general rule of being annoyed by those who only do good in the second half. But his second half was SO good. I saw a roughness in his voice I\u2019ve never heard, and I\u2019m still cool with Gokey.\nKris Allen. This part was tough for me. I thought Kris was the worst of the night. That being said, I thought he was VERY good. I still don\u2019t see anything but hollowness in him, and tonight was the case in point. He was good and sweet and had a GREAT song choice. I thought he was very bland tonight. He\u2019s fortunate I have a vendetta against number 5.\nMatt Giraud. I really liked Matt tonight. I ranked him number two of the night after Allison. I really liked his phrasing and dedication to the theme of the night. That all being said, I still don\u2019t think it\u2019s good enough to cover the eggs he\u2019s laid recently. He actually made me like Kris. And, this week, Matt was way better than Kris. But Matt wasted too much time. He still, to me, squandered being saved. Matt will lose this week, and it\u2019s a shame. I think both he and Anoop should have outlasted Kris. Call me crazy, I appreciate substance. But I also appreciate consistent execution.\nComments Off on American Idol Power Rankings: 4/28/09\t| American Idol\t| Tagged: Adam Lambert, Allison Iraheta, American Idol, American Idol 2009, American Idol Power Rankings, American Idol Season 8, Danny Gokey, Kris Allen, Matt Giraud\t| Permalink\nMy Wedding Dance Song\nSo it\u2019s done. Over. Finito. I am officially a married man (sorry, ladies!), and the wedding was a pretty darned good time, if I do say so myself. One thing that was very difficult for me was picking out a song for the dreaded first dance with my new bride in front of family and friends. I even wrote a post several months back looking for suggestions for a good song. Gordon was the only one who responded with a good but not very danceable Johnny Cash song, so I was forced to continue the search on my own.\nI was looking for something unconventional and different. Basically, I didn\u2019t want to dance to a crappy country song or a tired old standard that we\u2019ve all heard a thousand times before. The toughest part is that I hate cheese, and my music collection is largely devoid of love songs. I combed through some of my favorite Motown hits (Stevie, Smokey, Marvin), the Beach Boys, Ray Lamontagne, Jack Johnson, and nothing seemed to fit. Too cheesy.\nThen I stumbled upon a song by Ben Folds, whom I have never been a big fan of, and it really seemed to work for me. Yes, it\u2019s absolutely cheesy, but the lyrics really related to some strong feelings that my new bride and I share about each other, so after much arguing, deliberating, more arguing, wine, beer, and yet more arguing, we settled on this one. It\u2019s a pretty, simple, and meaningful pop tune, and it communicates one simple truth: she makes me feel like the luckiest man on earth. And she doesn\u2019t even read this blog, so I\u2019m not just kissing her ass!\nP.S. One song I really love is \u201cThis Will Be Our Year\u201d by The Zombies, and that one was considered, but it was a little bouncier than what I was looking for. I did use the song for a slide show at the rehearsal dinner though. God, what a great song!\nComments Off on My Wedding Dance Song\t| Filler\t| Permalink\nSo I\u2019m finally back from the Caribbean, and I\u2019m a bit sad about that. As of last night, I got all caught up on the last two weeks of Idol thanks to the magic of DVR. First of all, why the hell would the judges waste their one save of Matt Giraud, a consistently underwhelming performer? Second, thank god Lil Rounds is finally gone! She was the only one more deserving to go home than Matt. Third, sorry to see Anoop go so soon, but his exit was inevitable due to his miring himself down in the cheesy ballad category.\nNow, on to this week\u2019s episode!\nThe theme this week was songs of the Rat Pack era. I find it incredibly irritating that the judges always rail on people for not being current, but they consistently have these theme weeks that force contestants to dip into the past. I would like to see Idol abandon the theme weeks and let these contestants pick whatever they want. Really, how are you going to know what kind of artist someone is going to be if you force feed them the same tired old crap every week?\nAlso, before getting to the performances, Jamie Foxx has zero to do with the Rat Pack. He has never played Sammy Davis, Jr. (or Sinatra or Martin or Lewis, or Bishop), and the closest thing that qualifies him is his overrated impression of Ray Charles that inexplicably won him an Oscar. That said, he actually seemed to give the Idols real musical advice, unlike any of the other musicians that have mentored this season, so hats off to him for that.\nKris Allen: Kris sings \u201cThe Way You Look Tonight,\u201d and he gives it a fairly straightforward interpretation. He sings it pretty well, but something about the performance was boring for me. When you bear in mind that the song has been recorded by Sinatra and Tony Bennett, Kris\u2019s version pales in comparison and comes off instead as a whiny, white bread, boy band take. I kind of kept hoping that Zombie Sinatra would rise from the grave and smack him upside the head, grab the mic, say, \u201cYou gotta love livin\u2019, baby, \u2019cause dyin\u2019 is a pain in the ass,\u201d and then show this little pipsqueak how the pros do this number. Long live Zombie Sinatra!\nAllison Iraheta: Singing \u201cSomeone To Watch Over Me,\u201d Allison actually takes a big risk by stepping out of her rock comfort zone. The risk pays off, and Allison nails the song with a sensitivity, vulnerability, and even a little sultry smokiness that a girl of seventeen should be mentally and emotionally incapable of pulling off. Compare this performance to anything by Jordin Sparks or David Archuleta, and Allison absolutely freaking blows away both of those teenagers from Idol\u2019s past. What does this mean? She\u2019s probably going home.\nMatt Giraud: Matt really needs to be gone already. I\u2019m still pissed about that save. Tonight he sings \u201cMy Funny Valentine,\u201d and he does the song no justice. The performance has its good moments, but overall, it was flat, out of tune, and annoying. If Allison gets kicked off before Matt, there is no justice in this world.\nDanny Gokey: Danny is another one who has worn out his welcome with me. He is consistently lazy with his performances, sleepwalking through the verse of every song he sings and relying on the power choruses to bail him out every time. Tonight we hear his rendition of \u201cCome Rain Or Come Shine,\u201d and Gokey makes a major misstep. He strains extra hard to give the second part of the song extra emotion and soul, but he ends up just shouting and growling the whole thing. The result? He sounds like he ate Michael Bolton whole, and now he is trying to crap him out, with the combined pained screaming of Danny Gokey and a half-digested Michael Bolton culminating in a shitty mess. Sorry, that was a bit overwrought, but Gokey sucks. How the judges liked that is a mystery to me.\nAdam Lambert: Last up is Adam doing his take on \u201cFeeling Good,\u201d a song that has been done to death on Idol. He starts out with what sounds like the arrangement by My Brightest Diamond from the recent Dark Was The Night compilation, but it morphs into something wholly Adam. I remember the first time I heard Shara Worden\u2019s version, I thought to myself, \u201cThe next Idol needs to listen to her version for an example of how to do this song right, then they need to pick another song, because they are not topping this.\u201d Lambert did his thing, and it was interesting to watch, but I don\u2019t think it was better than the source material. His last note was pretty amazing, though. The kid\u2019s got some vocal control, that\u2019s for sure.\nSo who\u2019s in the bottom three? I think the bottom three will be Allison, Matt, and Danny, with Matt getting the boot if there is any justice left in this world.\nBonus \u2013 Here\u2019s My Brightest Diamond\u2019s version of \u201cFeeling Good\u201d:\n2 Comments\t| American Idol\t| Tagged: AI, American Idol, American Idol 2009, American Idol Recap\t| Permalink\nA touch late on the \u201clive\u201d blog due to unforeseen circumstances, but I\u2019m here now and I\u2019ll beat the west coast feed, anyway.\nAfter the deserved elimination of Lil Rounds and the undeserved elimination of Anoop Desai, we\u2019re down to our top five.\nThe theme is \u201cThe Rat Pack,\u201d which essentially just means jazz standards, as between the five members (Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Dean Martin, Peter Lawford, and Joey Bishop) they\u2019ve likely hit most of them. How will this go? I\u2019m not going to lie\u2013I think she can do it but I\u2019m a bit nervous about Allison, who\u2019s one of my favorites.\nAll of the remaining males, with the possible exception of Matt Giraud, are likely fine.\nLet\u2019s get on with it! Spoilers, plus our weekly best/worst poll, below the fold.\n1 Comment\t| American Idol\t| Tagged: Adam Lambert, Allison Iraheta, American Idol, American Idol 2009, American Idol live blog, American Idol Season 8, Anoop Desai, Danny Gokey, Jamie Foxx, Kris Allen, Lil Rounds, Matt Giraud\t| Permalink\nAn open letter to Universal Music Group\nDear Universal Music Group:\nI am the proprietor of a music blog (ondeafears.com). We have a small but (I hope) devoted following\u2013in April 2009 we have averaged over 800 hits per day.\nYesterday I published a post entitled \u201cThe Best of Music of 1980,\u201d which is exactly what it sounds like\u2013I highlighted the very best albums of that year.\nOne of the albums I highlighted was by a band called Blue Angel. I was excited to be able to draw attention to this band, because their self-titled and only album is unknown except for to the most hardcore record collector. This is an unjust fate, not only because it is a terrific album, but also because it is at least somewhat historically important as the first appearance on record of future pop star Cyndi Lauper.\nThe album was out of print for twenty-five years before being brought back into print by Hip-O Select, a label for collectors, in a limited edition of 5,000 copies in early 2005. I bought one, but in the ensuing four years, they have failed to sell the remaining 4,999. The album deserves better.\nThe reason no one is buying the album is because almost nobody has heard a single thing off it. I wanted to change that, so I planned on highlighting a song from the album, \u201cFade.\u201d I made an amateur video and uploaded it to YouTube, intending to embed it in my blog post.\nWhen I went to embed the video, I found that YouTube had blocked it at your request.\nIt\u2019s your content, and your right to block it. However, this strikes me as counterproductive. Almost no one has heard Blue Angel, and almost no one can hear Blue Angel. I can tell people all day long what a great album this is, but no one is going to buy it based upon my say-so. But I think many would if they could hear a song or two. Sites like YouTube and blogs like mine are the only places that could happen. No one is going to play Blue Angel on the radio. If a video even exists, MTV is not going to play it.\nThere are no official Universal Music Group videos for Blue Angel at YouTube. However, if there were, I couldn\u2019t showcase them at my blog anyway, because all Universal Music Group songs at YouTube have embedding disabled. This baffles me\u2013how does it protect your copyright to force people to go to YouTube rather than viewing the exact same thing embedded in the context of a positive review on a site such as mine?\nEnable people like me to embed videos from Universal Music Group on blogs and other websites.\nIf an official Universal Music Group video for a song does not exist, create an easy way for people like me to request permission to create a fan video. Require that the video highlight that the music is copyright Universal Music Group so there will be no question who owns the rights.\nI am a lover of music, and when something is unjustly obscure, I want to promote it. I want the whole world to run out and buy this wonderful album that has brought me such joy. There are thousands of people out there like me, who want to help deserving music, some of it owned by Universal Music Group, reach a larger audience.\nIf you will give us the tools to showcase your songs, artists, and albums, I believe it would be beneficial both for your business and for music lovers all over the world.\nPlease consider this. Thank you for reading.\nondeafears.com\ngordon@ondeafears.com\n1 Comment\t| Music + Technology\t| Tagged: Blue Angel, Cyndi Lauper, Fade, Hip-O Select, Universal Music Group\t| Permalink\nAll Music Guide recently posted their retrospective on the music of 1980. The further back these retrospectives go, the more albums that I missed or just never got around to purchasing are brought to my attention (I don\u2019t own The River, for the love of Mike!). You may find some music to explore in the article as well, so read the whole thing, definitely including the comments.\nI\u2019ve made my own list, as I did with their 1993 retrospective. This time I\u2019ll make a few comments.\nClassic or Near-classic\nThe Clash \u2013 London Calling. Technically released at the tail end of 1979, but generally considered an \u201980s album. There are more classics on this album than most albums have songs. A strong contender for greatest album ever made.\nJoy Division \u2013 Closer. A perfectly realized masterpiece.\nBlue Angel \u2013 Blue Angel. It\u2019s easy to understand why this album landed Cyndi Lauper a solo contract. It\u2019s not easy to understand why so few people have heard this terrific album. I plan a write-up on this in the near future.\nPrince \u2013 Dirty Mind. Worst cover art in history, but a great album that includes the masterful \u201cWhen You Were Mine,\u201d later covered memorably by Cyndi Lauper. Plus, dude nails his sister! How fucked up is that?\nGang of Four \u2013 Entertainment! Technically 1979, but Rolling Stone had it in its top albums of the \u201980s, so I\u2019m guessing it didn\u2019t come to the Colonies until then.\nX \u2013 Los Angeles. Fucked-up rockabilly that sounds like nothing before or since (except for a couple other X albums).\nAC/DC \u2013 Back in Black. Yes, I\u2019m sick of it, too, but are you going tell me it doesn\u2019t belong here? Are you going to tell Angus?\nThe Feelies \u2013 Crazy Rhythms. Would someone please get this record back in print?\nPublic Image Ltd. \u2013 Metal Box/Second Edition. Again, I think 1979, but again, I think it was releases Stateside in 1980 as it was, again, in Rolling Stone\u2018s best of the 80s list.\nPretty Damned Great\nDire Straits \u2013 Making Movies. Just short of classic, with some classic songs. \u201cSkateaway\u201d gives me goosebumps.\nBarbra Streisand \u2013 Guilty. The album has only her name on it, but that\u2019s Barry Gibb standing next to her on the cover, and it\u2019s just as much his album\u2013he wrote it, produced it, duets on three songs, and (with his brothers) sings backup throughout. The gorgeous \u201cWoman in Love\u201d is just one of the expertly-crafted pop songs that fill this album.\nMot\u00f6rhead \u2013 Ace of Spades. The thundering title classic would be enough to get this album remembered, but it\u2019s got a lot more where that one came from.\nTeena Marie \u2013 Irons in the Fire. She has never gotten the respect she deserves as critics have mostly ignored the oddity of a white singer who sold a large percentage of her records to a black audience. On her third album, she asserts herself by writing and producing the whole thing for the first, but not last, time.\nWarren Zevon \u2013 Stand in the Fire. Including a live album in the above sections didn\u2019t seem quite right, but this rowdy set needed to be mentioned somewhere.\nThe Clash \u2013 Sandinista! This three-record mess has too much great material to leave out entirely.\nThe Cure \u2013 Boys Don\u2019t Cry. I haven\u2019t heard it in ages, but I know a lot of the songs by heart.\nDavid Bowie \u2013 Scary Monsters. My copy was stolen and I haven\u2019t replaced it yet. I recall loving a lot of it, being iffy on some. I\u2019d like to hear it again before ranking it properly.\nBelow the fold!\nA 1980 YouTube mixtape including some of the above.

        "raw_content": "Open Connectivity Foundation (OCF) is making the IoT attainable by establishing the necessary interoperability standard for connected devices - enabling them to discover and communicate with one another, regardless of manufacturer, operating system, chipset or physical transport.\nThe Foundation is unlocking the massive opportunity of the IoT market, accelerating industry innovation and helping developers and businesses create solutions that map to a single open connectivity specification. OCF is creating secure device discovery and connectivity that the IoT market needs to advance through several initiatives, including the writing of the core OCF Interoperability Specification (with its corresponding OCF Security Framework) as well as product certification and testing.\nWhat are the objectives of OCF?\nBy delivering a single solution covering interoperability across multiple vertical markets and use cases, OCF\u2019s members are bringing OCF Certified products to the market that can effortlessly communicate. OCF is also helping make the end user\u2019s experience better by seamlessly bridging to other ecosystems and ensuring interoperability with OCF Certified devices regardless of operating system or platform.\nWho comprises OCF?\nA complete member listing can be found here.\nA list of industry partners with whom OCF is collaborating can be found here.\nDoes OCF test and certify IoT products and devices?\nTo ensure device interoperability, security and a solid customer experience, OCF offers OCF, UPnP, and AllJoyn\u00ae testing and certification. These certification and testing programs help improve consumer confidence and ultimately reduce product returns to manufacturers\u2019 by ensuring that certified devices comply with the OCF Specifications.\nOpen Connectivity Foundation Certification Testing is available to OCF Gold level members and above, and must be conducted at an OCF approved Authorized Test Lab. A list of OCF Authorized Test Labs is here.\nWhat\u2019s the history of Open Connectivity Foundation?\nIn 2014, the Open Interconnect Consortium (OIC) was formed to work on standardizing communication between IoT devices. Late in 2015, with the intent to develop Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) to include IoT devices, the UPnP Forum announced that OIC would acquire its assets. The following year, OIC changed its name into Open Connectivity Foundation (OCF) to help reduce the standards fragmentation in the IoT industry. OCF is building on OIC\u2019s previous work and is developing an IoT communication standard that allows devices to interoperate regardless of form factor, operating system, service provider, transport technology or ecosystem.\nIn 2016, in a continued effort to reduce IoT standards fragmentation, OCF, the sponsor of the IoTivity open source project, and AllSeen Alliance, which provided the AllJoyn\u00ae open source IoT framework, announced that the two organizations united under the OCF name and bylaws. This merger advances interoperability between connected devices from both groups, enabling the full operating potential of IoT and representing a significant step towards a connected ecosystem.\nOCF now sponsors both the IoTivity and AllJoyn\u00ae open source projects at The Linux Foundation. Both projects will collaborate to support future versions of the OCF specification in a single IoTivity implementation that combines the best of both technologies into a unified solution.\nToday, the Open Connectivity Foundation has over 370 innovative member companies and has become one of the largest standards organizations for IoT. OCF members include some of the world\u2019s leading companies that are helping accelerate the development of an interoperability standard and the ability to make IoT a more seamless, secure experience for everyone involved. By delivering a single solution covering interoperability across multiple vertical markets and use cases, OCF members will bring OCF Certified products to the market that can safely communicate. Learn more about our members and industry partners here.\nWhat are the vertical markets OCF is targeting?\nOCF is establishing a single solution that addresses interoperability across multiple vertical markets to ensure that manufacturers and developers have the greatest opportunity to maximize interoperability and increase market share. OCF brings together companies from diverse markets including automotive, consumer electronics, enterprise, healthcare, home automation, industrial and wearables.\nCurrently, OCF is developing initiatives related to Smart Home solutions designed to make the end user\u2019s experience better by seamlessly bridging ecosystems within a user\u2019s smart home and ensuring interoperability with OCF Certified devices.\nIn addition to Smart Home initiatives, OCF remains committed to driving initiatives for the automotive, healthcare and industrial markets. Additionally, there is huge potential for innovation because there are greater data opportunities/broader pool of data that OCF Certified products will be able to share and leverage to create an intelligent connected ecosystem.\nHere is a sampling of what the OCF members are doing: Runtime and SURE Universal.\nHow is the OCF organized?\nOCF is a registered non-profit organization governed by a Board of Directors and consisting of several steering committees and active work groups. Under the direction of the Board, the OCF steering committees oversee a number of significant initiatives (refer to the organizational structure). More information about OCF membership levels, benefits, bylaws and IPR policy is available here.\nWho can join OCF?\nIn keeping with our open philosophy, any company that is interested in connecting IoT devices and is aligned with our goals of driving a secure, interoperable standard and supporting an open source implementation of that standard is encouraged to join.\nWhy should a company join OCF?\nOne of the biggest challenges facing today\u2019s IoT manufacturers and developers is the lack of a single standard that addresses all the necessary requirements for a truly secure, interoperable solution for IoT devices.\nOCF\u2019s world-class member companies, as well as organizations involved in OCF, believe that secure and reliable device discovery and connectivity is the foundation that will lead to a stronger, more user-friendly Internet of Things. The members also believe that a common, interoperable approach is essential, and that both a standard and an open source implementation are the best route to enable speedy, scalable deployment.\nThere are numerous benefits of joining OCF, including collaborating with the most brilliant global technology leaders to solve the IoT standards chaos. Foreseeing the end of the IoT standards chaos isn\u2019t easy, but industry collaboration goes a long way in achieving success and continued innovation. There are multiple proposals and forums driving different approaches\u2026 but no single solution addresses the majority of key requirements.\nJoin the growing ecosystem that is making the promise of IoT a reality.\nHow do companies join? What are the costs?\nOCF has several levels of membership offering various levels of participation, influence, and branding. If your company is interested in joining, please visit our join page here, to determine which membership level is right for you.\nWhat is the OCF Specification?\nThe OCF Specification is the answer to the unsolved \u2018secure interoperability\u2019 challenge. The Specification provides the necessary secure communication framework, a standard model for applications and services to interact with IoT resources, mapping to multiple transports, and bridging to other IoT ecosystems.\nIs the OCF Specification available?\nYes, the OCF Specification can be download here.\nWhat is the OCF Security Framework?\nBecause the OCF Specification includes a common security framework to manage device-to-device communication, manufacturers can focus on increasing innovation and expanding their market share without worrying about adding additional security layers. End users can rest assured that OCF Certified products are secure and reliable. Learn more about the OCF Security Framework here.\nWhat technology does the OCF Specification support?\nIoT devices connect using many different operating systems including Android, iOS, Linux, Tizen, and Windows, as well as Real Time Operating systems. OCF Specifications and the IoTivity Open Source Project are allowing interoperability for all types of devices regardless of operating systems.\nOCF Specifications are agnostic with regard to any wireless or wired technology and will work across technologies including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Bluetooth LE, Wi-Fi Direct, ZigBee, Zwave, and Ant+.\nWhat is oneIoTa?\noneIoTa is an open online tool created by OCF to encourage the design and use of interoperable device data models for the Internet of Things. The oneIoTa tool enables users to create simple models for any Internet of Things device (using RAML and JSON) in a matter of minutes. Using the oneIoTa models, developers can take advantage of OCF\u2019s seamless standardization process to quickly add discovery and control capabilities to devices as they develop.\nWhy is Open Source critical to the success of IoT?\nThe challenge for the IoT ecosystem is to ensure emerging IoT devices can connect securely and reliably to the Internet and to each other. If not, the Internet of Things won\u2019t reach its potential. By adopting an open source and open specification model, OCF is enabling the open source community to quickly create and implement reliable, secure device discovery and connectivity across a broad range of operating systems, platforms, transports and vendors.\nTo ensure the open nature of the OCF project, anyone can download the software, and contribute to the documentation, source code or testing.\nWhat are the IoTivity and AllJoyn\u00ae Projects?\nThe IoTivity Project is an open source implementation of the OCF Specification. The IoTivity Project brings together the open source community to accelerate the development of a single framework and the services required to securely connect devices.\nFollowing the unification of OCF and the AllSeen Alliance, OCF now backs both the IoTivity and AllJoyn\u00ae open source projects at The Linux Foundation. Both projects will collaborate to support future versions of the OCF specification in a single IoTivity implementation that combines the best of both technologies into a unified solution. Current devices running on either AllJoyn\u00ae or IoTivity solutions will be interoperable and backward-compatible. Companies already developing IoT solutions based on either technology can proceed with the confidence that their products will be compatible with the unified IoT standard that the industry has been asking for.\nThe IoTivity code is available today. You are welcome to download the code and documentation and start contributing to the project here: https://www.iotivity.org/.\nWhat is the process for becoming OCF Certified?\nOCF has a robust certification program available to members. For more information, please visit the OCF Certification page, or contact lab_mgr@openconnectivity.org.\nIf I have a product based on IoTivity or OCF but that is not certified by OCF, can I claim it is compliant or conformant to OCF?\nNo. Usage of the phrases, such as OCF Certified, OCF Conformant, OCF Compliant and so on, are not permissible to be used on or in connection with any non-certified products. For a list of OCF certified devices, please visit: https://openconnectivity.org/certified-products.\nHow do I look for a product that has been OCF certified?\nAll OCF certified products are announced on its product registry at https://openconnectivity.org/certified-products. OCF also has a certification mark that is made available for usage on products once the requirements of achieving certification are met. Any usage of the OCF trademarks without achieving certification will be enforced by OCF.",

Since January of 2003, these 7 operators have had authority to conduct a maximum combined total of 67 air tours per year, though in recent years, operations have been below this level. The primary attractions for air tour visitors are Badwater, Scotty's Castle, Ubehebe Crater, the Racetrack, and the rugged expanse and geologic features of the Park.\nAn ATMP is being developed to provide measures to mitigate or prevent significant adverse impacts, if any, of commercial air tour operations at Death Valley, including impacts on natural and cultural resources, visitor experiences, and tribal lands within or around the park. It should be noted that the ATMP has no authorization over other non-air-tour operations such as military and general aviation operations. The Death Valley ATMP will be prepared using an Aviation Rulemaking Committee (ARC) process. The purpose of using the ARC process is to provide early advice, information, and recommendations from interested stakeholders to the FAA and NPS, regarding environmental and other issues to consider in the development of an ATMP. The Death Valley ARC is composed of various representatives including air tour operators, federal, local and regional agencies, environmental organizations, local businesses, and the Timbisha Shoshone tribe. It is chaired by the Park Superintendent, Sarah Craighead.\nIn June 2009, the ARC held a two-day kickoff meeting at Death Valley; minutes may be found at: http://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/arc/programs/air_tour_management_plan/park_specific_plans/Death_Valley.cfm\nThe purpose of the kickoff meeting was for stakeholders to have the opportunity to provide advice, information, and recommendations to the FAA and NPS regarding environmental and other issues to consider in the development of an ATMP. Materials presented at the meeting included information on: park resources; the park acoustical environment; military operations over Death Valley and the surrounding areas; current and historical air tour operations; and, a map of current air tour flight paths. After a generalized map of current air tour flight paths was presented, ARC members made suggestions regarding options for an air tour flight track that would consolidate flight paths and modify elevations and flight locations. Refer to the Public Scoping Document (look under \"Document List\") to see how these suggestions are incorporated into an air tour route.\nLelaina Marin\nOutdoor Recreation Planner\nlelaina_marin@nps.gov",

We encourage you to search for a local practice community.\nIf there is no sangha in your area, you may consider starting one! This can begin as simply as meeting with a few people in someone\u2019s home. There, you might sit in meditation, read an excerpt from one of Thay\u2019s (Thich Nhat Hanh\u2019s) books, then share together about your experiences in the practice. For more information, see the New Sangha Handbook and our Start a Sangha page.\nIf you are about 18 to 35 years of age, you may have particular interest in Wake Up, an active global community of young adult practitioners.\nIf you would like to learn more about Thich Nhat Hanh\u2019s tradition of mindfulness practice, you will surely enjoy his many books as well as The Mindfulness Bell, a journal of the art of mindful living.",

The \u201cBird\u2019s Nest\u201d, the legendary Olympic Stadium of Peking is being spruced up. It is being made chic for the best riders in Chinese, who from Friday onwards are going to be competing against ten of the top show-jumpers in the world. However, they won\u2019t just be competing against each other, they will also learn from each other, the priority lies on exchanging experiences and the development of the equestrian sport in China.\nHeading the international riders is the number one in the Longines Rankings, Harrie Smolders from the Netherlands. Henrik von Eckermann and Malin Baryard-Johnsson from Sweden are on board, Lauren Hough from the USA, P\u00e9nelope Leprevost from France, Jane Richard Philips is competing for Switzerland, Gregory Whatelet for Belgium and Ludger Beerbaum, Daniel Deu\u00dfer and Christian Ahlmann will be jumping for Germany. Due to the quarantine regulations they will be competing on borrowed horses, whilst the Chinese participants will be riding their own horses. This is also one of the reasons why the co-organiser Beerbaum, thinks that a Chinese rider might take the victory in the concluding \u201cLongines Grand Prix 4*\u201d on Sunday at this 8th edition of the event. \u201cSo far experience was able to tip the scales, but the Chinese have caught up,\u201d commented Ludger Beerbaum.\nFurther highlights are the team competition and the Jump & Drive \u2013 in this class the participants complete the first part of the course on a horse and then switch over to BMW horse power.\nWork is being carried out all over the stadium.

        "raw_content": "George Morris critiques a young eventer and her Appaloosa.\n\u00a9 EQ Photography\nI like this girl. She has good basics. She appears to have a solid leg, but like a lot of eventers, there is a problem with the contact. The grip of the leg should be almost perfectly divided among the thigh, inner knee bone and calf. But I\u2019d say 90 percent of eventers grip with their knees and thighs with too little contact in the calf. This rider is better than a lot, but she\u2019s a victim of incorrect grip. You acquire the correct grip by riding without a saddle, which gives you a naturally correct leg. The rest of her leg is good. The heel is down, the safety stirrup, which can never be criticized, is at a right angle to the girth. Her ankle is flexed and her toes are out.\nShe\u2019s dropping back in the air, which is different from being left back. Her seat is too deep and too far back in the saddle at this point of the jump. Her posture is excellent: You can see there\u2019s a slight hollow in her loins just under the safety vest. Her eyes and head are up. This is a refreshing release position. Her hands are alongside the horse\u2019s neck in a more advanced position, closer to an automatic release.\nIt\u2019s a hard point of the fence\u2014the landing stage\u2014to judge the horse but I don\u2019t love his front end. It looks like it could be a little loose. My antenna is up, saying he\u2019s not a great jumper.\nHe\u2019s not groomed particularly well. He has a lot of hair on him, and his mane is sticking up\u2014maybe it\u2019s growing out. His tail is braided, which spiffs him up. To get the hair off him\u2014which needs to be done so he doesn\u2019t sweat and get sick\u2014the rider needs to use a currycomb and a stiff brush or he needs to be clipped. His fetlocks could use a little trim. I\u2019m not a fan of the colors that eventers like to wear. If I were to ride in eventing, I\u2019d be more conservative, but at least the colors she is wearing are similar.",

PWSAC manages and operates the facility for ADF&G under a 20-year professional services agreement at no cost to the state. PWSAC assumed management and operational control of the hatchery in 1990. Main Bay is the first sockeye smolt-producing hatchery in the world. Up to six different sockeye salmon stocks have been incubated and reared in the same hatchery building. PWSAC has concentrated solely on rearing Coghill Lake stock since 1998. This decreases the risk of disease, improves fish culture, and helps increase marine survival by a percentage or two.\nMBH is currently permitted for 12.4 million sockeye salmon eggs annually.",

Two customers said they heard a baby crying as they were walking through the parking lot.\n\"When you walk outside you don't expect to hear a baby in a car and when you do immediately as a parent you perk up,\" said one man, who did not want to be identified.\nMore than 36 kids die in hot cars every year and July is usually the deadliest month\nHe and his wife were leaving dinner at Cazadores Mexican Grill around 7 p.m. when they spotted a baby girl, they believe around 6 months old, alone in a vehicle that was not running. A window was partially rolled down.\n\"The child was hot. We could tell that she was sweating but we knew she wasn't in immediate danger yet.\"\nWhile checking on the child they made another shocking discovery \u2014 the car the child was alone in was unlocked. Shelby County Sheriff deputies and first responders showed up a short time later. Deputies say it was 92 degrees outside when they arrived on the scene. The baby was immediately removed from the vehicle and given medical treatment.\nPolice say the mother of the child, Rachel Vanwagner, ran out of the restaurant with no shoes on after noticing their presence.\nShe told deputies she knew she left her child in the car while it wasn't running, but she was only in the restaurant for 30 minutes and had one drink. The witnesses said they'd seen Vanwagner inside the restaurant drinking a margarita.\nThe 26-year-old Mason, Tennessee resident was arrested and charged with child abuse and neglect.\n\"She seemed almost hysterical,\" the man said. \"Maybe that she got caught or maybe that her baby was in the arms of a paramedic. I don't know, tough to tell, hard to put yourself in the mind of someone that would leave a baby in a car.\"\nThe baby is ok and is now with relatives. The Department of Child Services has been notified about the case as well.\nTopics: Tennessee",

        "raw_content": "Treatment for Hammertoe\nOne common cause of the condition known as hammertoe is wearing shoes that don\u2019t fit correctly. When the toes are in a cramped position for an extended period of time, it\u2019s natural for the muscles of the toes to become shorter, causing the toes to lock into a curved position. Patients who have arthritis or diabetes may be prone to developing hammertoe, and those who have a certain inherited gene may also be at risk. Occasionally the toes can be straightened, and in most cases, a splint may be utilized for stretching the toe. However, if the toe is completely locked up, surgery may be necessary. There are muscle strengthening exercises that aid in helping the foot to become stronger, possibly decreasing the discomfort originating from this condition. When the proper shoes are worn, which may make it necessary to increase the size of the shoe, more room is provided for the toes to feel comfortable. Often this is a condition that won\u2019t disappear naturally, and a consultation is strongly advised for proper diagnosis and treatment.\nPlantar warts can be very uncomfortable. If you need your feet checked, contact one of our podiatrists from Quality Foot Care Center. Our doctors will assist you with all of your foot and ankle needs.\nThere are many types of heel pain, some of which are gradually felt, and some that are acute, typically caused by an injury. If pain under the heel is experienced, it may be a common condition referred to as plantar fasciitis. The pain is generally worse in the morning and may travel further down the foot. Having a bruised heel will begin as gradual pain occurring over a period of time, often affecting athletes due to the overuse of the plantar fascia tendon. Sever\u2019s disease is characterized by pain in the back of the heel, often felt by young athletes. Swollen heels are another cause of heel pain and may be indicative of Achilles bursitis. A fracture may be possible if a fall was involved, often causing severe pain and making it difficult to walk. A consultation with a podiatrist is recommended if swelling, pain, or a \"pins and needles\" sensation is experienced in or around your feet.\nMany people suffer from bouts of heel pain. For more information, contact one of our podiatrists of Quality Foot Care Center. Our doctors can provide the care you need to keep you pain-free and on your feet.\nHow Heel Spurs Can Feel Better\nA growth on the heel that appears to have a bony texture is commonly known as a heel spur. Pain and tenderness often occur mainly because of the weight placed on the heel while walking. Obesity, poor walking and running habits, and possible hereditary conditions may be common causes of this condition, in addition to repetitive trauma inflicted on the heel. There are a few treatment options, and a crucial one is to rest the foot. Cold therapy may be another beneficial way to treat heel spurs, along with anti-inflammatory medicine. It\u2019s important to keep the foot and ankle strong by performing specific stretches that aid in retaining mobility. An effective exercise that will help to stretch the bottom of the foot is done by pulling up on the toes and feet with your hands, then holding this position for 30 seconds. This is a beneficial treatment when repeated regularly, although it may be painful at first to perform. If you think you may have a heel spur, please consult with a podiatrist for a proper diagnosis.\nHeel spurs can be incredibly painful and sometimes may make you unable to participate in physical activities. To get medical care for your heel spurs, contact one of our podiatrists from Quality Foot Care Center. Our doctors will do everything possible to treat your condition.\nIf you have any questions feel free to contact our office located in Somerset, NJ. We offer the latest in diagnostic and treatment technology to meet your needs.\nHow Can My Feet Feel Better?\nStanding on your feet all or most of the day often triggers foot pain. An effective way to treat this type of pain may be to incorporate foot exercises into your daily routine. There are a few optimal stretches that can be performed, such as pointing and flexing the toes. If heel pain is present, possibly rolling a ball under the foot while applying light pressure may be helpful. Relaxing the feet in a warm bath and foot massages can be useful in helping the feet feel better. Cramps in the toes may cause foot pain, and an effective stretch may be to raise the heels, repeating this a few times. Strengthening the toes is important to do if you have hammertoe, and a practical way to accomplish this is to squeeze the toes using toe separators. Before you establish a routine, consult with a podiatrist for proper foot exercises.\nExercising your feet regularly with the proper foot wear is a great way to prevent injuries and build strength. If you have any concerns about your feet, contact one of our podiatrists from Quality Foot Care Center. Our doctors can provide the care you need to keep you pain-free and on your feet.\nSome foot health exercises can include ankle pumps, tip-toeing, toe rises, lifting off the floor doing reps and sets, and flexing the toes. It is best to speak with yOur doctors to determine an appropriate regimen for your needs. Everyone\u2019s needs and bodies are different, and the activities required to maintain strength in the feet vary from individual to individual.",

        "raw_content": "Doug didn\u2019t vanish immediately, though. As the vice-president in charge of our security consultants, who were the people who made us our money, his calendar stayed full until he simply stopped showing up.\nOne of the last times I saw him in a work-related context, he\u2019d just flown to New York City and back \u2014 putting in a full day with a client before flying back that afternoon, returning for the Bay Area\u2019s evening. I\u2019d offered to pick him up at the airport. He looked wrecked, of course, if well dressed, this still being Doug. He sighed, pulling at his collar and his already loosened tie.\n\u201cGod,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m never doing that again if I can help it \u2014 though I could get used to flying business class.\u201d\n\u201cReally? Business class?\u201d That was a distant if absurdly wasteful dream for me. I\u2019d flown a lot, and I\u2019d always been fine with cattle-car tickets. The higher class seats seemed like outrageous luxuries. I\u2019d rather buy a new computer.\n\u201cI told them that the only way I\u2019d make the trip was if they sent me business class,\u201d Doug said.\nDoug looked at me over the rims of his glasses as if reconsidering my level of intelligence. Apparently it was worth it.\n\u201cWe\u2019re opening a new office out there,\u201d Doug said. \u201cIt\u2019s a good space. There\u2019s a woman out there named Linda Kay who\u2019s stepping up to manage the consultants out there. They\u2019re hiring like crazy.\u201d As VP of Consulting, Doug needed to be in on all that.\nI don\u2019t remember what else we talked about on the way home, though I do remember it being the first time I dropped him off at his place, driving away from his shiny suburban duplex to my modest 1980s-era ground-floor apartment.\nIt wasn\u2019t long after when Doug broke things off with his girlfriend for good, moving out and slipping into a bit of a depression. I only heard about it after the fact, really. All I knew at the time was that he wasn\u2019t showing up in the office or answering his phone. Work kept me busy and I spent most of my free time with Jim, the both of us hoping Doug was okay and presuming he\u2019d surface when he felt better.\nDoug\u2019s disappearance only sped up the process of getting to know my co-workers. I loved the office itself, with its tight central cluster of high-walled cubicles, perfectly Silicon Valley conference rooms along the two outward-facing walls. I spent months in those rooms, listening to people far wiser than I was argue about Internet security. I took it all in, staring out the wide, top-floor window over the late-afternoon commute traffic through the thin gray limbs of an increasingly leafless tree. The office itself was great, but it was the people and their energy that got me out of bed every morning, grinning like an idiot in the shower with what luck I\u2019d had.\nThere were basically three types of people lurking around our quiet, dimly lit office.\nFirst you had corporate people \u2014 like Mary, who ran our little store, and her administrative assistant, who\u2019d followed her out from Texas through at least two previous jobs. Then there was an accountant, and an HR person, and a salesman who seemed to spend all his time pacing slowly up and down the cube aisles, muttering quietly into a headset microphone he perpetually pinched to one corner of his mouth. The final wood-trimmed office on the far inside corner of the building belonged to Taher Elgamal, the actual boss of the operation and one of the two founders of our consultancy, before being bought out by the detectives.\nTaher was genuine royalty in Silicon Valley, having been Chief Technology Officer at Netscape as they\u2019d made their titanic heave to take over the Web browser market for the explosively growing Internet. He\u2019s credited with inventing SSL, the basic encryption scheme used to protect passwords and credit card numbers and anything else you wouldn\u2019t want prying eyes to see as they moved from your device at home to some server somewhere. Few people understood it, but it basically made commerce possible on the Internet. Maybe it was more like a story we told ourselves to help us believe we were safe, but it was one of the most successful stories to come out of that early growth era.\nWhat Taher was actually planning for us wouldn\u2019t be clear for a few months, but it didn\u2019t seem like he was there to retire. True, he was rarely in the office, though his presence and its calmly solid energy suffused the place, seemed to inform our approach to nearly everything. I guess that made him a good leader.\nI once caught the eye of a client, an older woman in what looked like a Chanel suit, white-knuckling a tiny leather clutch as she waited outside Mary\u2019s heavy wooden door, just outside my cubicle. Older women always liked talking to me, and she was no different.\n\u201cI haven\u2019t seen you before,\u201d she said, glancing across the cube tops behind me. \u201cSo many new people, though, more new faces every day.\u201d\n\u201cMay I help you?\u201d I asked.\nShe wrinkled her nose. \u201cI\u2019m waiting for Taher. Always waiting for people.\u201d Her eyes grew wide in an instant, looking for all the world like a worshipful little girl. \u201cHe\u2019s a great man, you know. Egyptian.\u201d\n\u201cMmm-hmm,\u201d I said.\n\u201cEgyptian,\u201d she said again, \u201cin the real way.\u201d She lowered her voice. \u201cDescended from the pharaohs. He could be a king if he wanted to.\u201d\n\u201cWhat makes you think he isn\u2019t?\u201d I said, trying to find a way to joke my way out of the situation.\n\u201cHe isn\u2019t,\u201d she said. \u201cBut he can be.\u201d\nMary opened her door, all smiles. Behind her, Taher leaned against her desk. He was not smiling.\n\u201cExcuse us,\u201d Mary said to me, and I turned on my heel, making for the break room.\nThe second kind of people in our office were the Engineers. There were three groups of us: the scanner team, where I spent most of my time, the Packet Storm team, a couple of newly hired hacker kids from Chicago who had nearly recussitated the attack-tool and vulnerability archives we\u2019d just purchased, and a small group of mostly older guys who were working on some kind of network monitor.\nI could identify that last group of people only by process of elimination. They were engineers and they weren\u2019t on either of the other two teams. I knew precisely who was working on the scanner and who was assigned to Packet Storm because Phil, my boss, and Brad, the Packet Storm lead, were openly at war with each other, which meant you had to be super careful what you said with people from the other team around. Anything, however jokingly, could be turned around and used by one side or the other in Mary\u2019s weekly staff meeting as a way to score points. It was an ugly reality, and in a few months it would make our office politics very dark.\nThen there was the third group.\n\u2190 Timeline of Apple Innovation",

        "raw_content": "Lacombe passes 2019 capital and operating budgets\nLacombe city council has adopted the 2019 capital and operating budgets.\nNew expenditures in the capital budget are worth $6.5 million, a total which will fund 43 projects, mostly roads and underground infrastructure-related.\nMajor projects to take place in 2019 include the Fairway Drive sidewalks, as well as replacement of curb and sidewalk, road base, surface, water and sewer mains along Northstar Drive.\nCarryover projects from 2018 include the West Area servicing, which has a budget of $11.6 million, and upgrades to the intersection at Hwy 12 and 76 Street, worth $3.5 million.\nCity council also approved a fully-funded 10-year capital plan which cuts back on debt borrowing and is more reliant on external funding sources.\nAs for the operating budget, it will cause a 2.8 per cent tax rate increase, which The City notes is in alignment with the Alberta Consumer Price Index. This means the average household (valued at $372,000) will see a total increase of $87 in 2019.\nOne notable reduction council made was to a request from Lacombe Police Service to increase its budget by $168,000 next year to $3.3 million. Council considered cutting the increase by $50,000, but instead trimmed it by $25,000 to $143,000.\nPolice Chief Lorne Blumhagen ensures that decision won\u2019t have any impact on service delivery.\n\u201cIt may cause some considerations on future capital purchases that may or may not have an adverse effect,\u201d he says. \u201cAt this time, although we don\u2019t like to see any decrease, it's manageable from an operational perspective.\u201d\nBlumhagen adds that The City has done to well to see LPS grow over the last several years to the point there are quick response times and sufficient boots on the ground.\nThe 2019 operating budget has combined total revenues and expenses of $44 million, which The City says results in a balanced budget. Approsimately $4.8 million of that is dedicated to policing.\nDebt repayments total $2.5 million, there is increased saving into City reserves, upped spending on parks and playgrounds, and notable planning for growth.\nPonoka town council delivers blunt message to province\nRed Deer man charged after downtown sexual assault",

K. and Frieda Bokwe Matthews in the United States. As foreign black actors starring in the 1952 film version of Cry, the Beloved Country, Lee and Poitier found themselves caught up in a project that the National Party believed could be used to present the apartheid regime in a positive light. In New York City at the height of the Defiance Campaign, the Matthews were also exposed to the power of the state as both the US and South African governments attempted to prevent them from publicly criticizing apartheid. Engaging with recent scholarship on the racial politics of the Cold War, the article demonstrates how these prominent black individuals had to overcome major obstacles to make themselves heard on the global stage.",

Flickr/ccarlstead\n(See also: Solar in India cheaper than imported Australian coal)\nSunEdison will play a leading role in Rajasthan\u2019s solar revolution after announcing today that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to develop 5GW of solar PV capacity in the Indian state.\nThe U.S. solar giant, which already has more than 50 MW of installed PV capacity in the northwestern state, will construct and establish a clutch of mega-solar projects, many as large as 500 MW, as it homes in on the agreed 5 GW target.\nThe MoU follows the announcement by the government of Rajasthan of the state\u2019s new Solar Policy, which has earmarked the deployment of 25 GW of solar PV capacity over the next few years.\nAs part of the MoU, SunEdison will deliver clean energy power to the Solar Energy Corporation of India, NTPC Vidjut Vyaparan Nigam Limited, and Power Trading Corporation. SunEdison affiliates, including any yieldcos, will remain the ultimate owners of the solar plants.\n\u201cThis MoU paves the way for socially and environmentally responsible economic growth and prosperity in the State of Rajasthan,\u201d said Pashupathy Gopalan, president of Asia Pacific Operations for SunEdison.\n\u201cThe company is honored to be able to contribute its world-leading technology and deployment capabilities to support the emergence of India as a global solar energy leader under the vision and leadership of the honorable Prime Minister, Narendra Modi.\u201d\nThe MoU was signed by Chief Minister, Smt.

        "raw_content": "RIRA roadblock furore\nThe PSNI were forced to pull back after encountering a \u2018Real IRA\u2019 checkpoint in south Armagh this week, it has been confirmed.\nThree masked IRA men carrying rifles stopped vehicles on the outskirts of Meigh in County Armagh at about 9pm on Friday, warning against drug-dealing and passing out leaflets.\nLocal residents said the roadblock north of the border at Belturbet in County Cavan was illuminated with flashing lights and was preceded by a large sign which read \u201cBRITS FREE ZONE - I.R.A. CHECKPOINT AHEAD\u201d.\nPSNI Chief Hugh Orde described the checkpoint as \u201ca stunt\u201d, although local PSNI members were reportedly \u201cfurious\u201d that they had received no intelligence warning of \u2018Real IRA\u2019 activity in the area.\n\u201cIt doesn\u2019t bear thinking about what would have happened if the officers had driven straight into the trap,\u201d said one.\nFour unmarked PSNI vehicles were reported to have been on routine duty when they came across the roadblock in Meigh on Friday night.\nUp to seven men dressed in combat unifoms and armed with at least two AK47 assault rifles and a hand-held grenade launcher were said to be involved.\nThey stopped motorists and handed out leaflets in the name of \u2018Oglaigh na hEireann - the Real IRA\u2019.\nIt is believed to be the first time that the dissident organisation has issued a document carrying the \u2018Real IRA\u2019 name.\nWarning against \u2018anti-social\u2019 behaviour, the leaflet also stated: \u201cAnyone passing information to the PSNI, Gardai, MI5 or Sinn Fein will be dealt with in the appropriate manner.\u201d\nThe development follows reports the PSNI is no longer attempting to carry out normal policing functions in many border areas.\nLast week, it emerged that 26-County Garda police had to deal with a road traffic accident across the border in south Fermanagh, a\u2019no-go\u2019 area for the PSNI due to the activity of IRA groups.\nLocal PSNI chief Graham Dodds admitted that a crash involving three motorbicycles outside Newtownbutler in County Fermanagh on July 19 was attended to by fire and rescue crew from Clones in County Monaghan, while Gardai supervised the operations.\n\u2018NOT THE REAL IRA\u2019 - ORDE\nHowever, Hugh Orde, speaking as he prepared to leave his post as PSNI Chief, said the threat posed by the Real IRA should not be exaggerated.\n\u201cThis is not the Provisional IRA. This is not an organisation that is highly organised, highly capable and supported internationally,\u201d he said.\nMr Orde said the PSNI patrol in south Armagh were right to pull back. \u201cI\u2019m absolutely convinced they took the right action when they came across it,\u201d he said.\n\u201cThis sort of activity will not put us off community policing and will not put the community off community policing,\u201d he claimed.\nHowever, Ulster Unionist Policing Board member Basil McCrea said \u201csome hard questions\u201d would have to be asked at the next board meeting about the incident.\n\u201cIt is very important that we are seen to control all areas of Northern Ireland, that people do not get some idea that there\u2019s areas that we can\u2019t get into.\n\u201cIn areas, particularly around the border where people feel vulnerable, they do need to have some sort of rapid response units to try and take control.\u201d\n32CSM PATROLS\nMeanwhile, the 32 County Sovereignty Movement, which is linked to the Real IRA, said it was \u201cplanning patrols on both sides of the border\u201d.\nIt claimed it had broken up a gang \u201cwho were making life a nightmare\u201d for people in Cavan, across the border from Fermanagh.\nAround 25 republicans wearing black shirts emblazoned with \u2018Fermanagh / Cavan 32 County Sovereignty Movement\u2019 were said to be openly patrolling the streets in vulnerable areas.\nThey distributed leaflets warning that they \u201cwould not stand idly by while this community is attacked by anti-social elements led by sinister, criminal figures\u201d.\nA spokesman said six members of a leading drugs gang involved in dealing, assaults and thefts had been forced to leave the country.\nThe spokesman said the gang had been attempting to arm itself by stealing shotguns.\n\u201cIt was a dangerous situation rapidly spiralling out of control,\u201d he said. He warned \u201canti-social activity\u201d still existed in Cavan and the sovereignty movement intended to \u201cstep up patrols\u201d in the town.\n\u201cWe\u2019ll be making our presence felt. We\u2019ll be on the streets to ensure that hoods aren\u2019t let run riot. We\u2019re also planning patrols in other Irish towns, on both sides of the border.

        "raw_content": "Overview of Japanese Language in Upper Secondary Education and School Curriculum in Romania\nMariana LUNGU\nKeywords: upper secondary education, curriculum structure, competence, language and communication\nIn this paper, I focus my attention on the problem of teaching Japanese as part of compulsory subjects in an upper secondary education to pupils aged between 15 to 19. This article starts out with a brief overview of the Romanian education system and the current state of Japanese teaching in the upper secondary education. As compared to other educational curricula, the Romanian education system focuses on competency-based curriculum emphasizing the applicability of knowledge and the development of competences in an integrated and inter-disciplinary approach. The Japanese Language is part of that curricular area named as Language and Communication. In the Romanian educational system, the process of teaching the Japanese language starts from lower secondary school and continues to upper secondary and then to university level. In the lower secondary school, pupils study the Japanese Language as an elective subject, while in the upper secondary school, they learn Japanese as a mandatory subject of the core curriculum and as an elective one of school-based curriculum. Next, attention is paid to outline the current situation of teaching Japanese in the upper-secondary education system, providing details of our curricula, types of subjects, and specific features of Japanese classes. Forms of Japanese language education vary greatly, as well as their target students and objectives. However, the focus of all is a balanced education in the four language skills: reading, writing, listening and speaking. In addition to the Japanese language study, Japanese syllabi provide cultural and general education to learn the properties in Japanese Society and about contemporary culture.\nBanno, E., Ohno, Y., Sakane, Y., Shinagawa, C., & Tokashiki, K.

        "raw_content": "Review of WINTER\u2019S HEART by Robert Jordan (re-read)\nFor the most part, I think I liked WINTER\u2019S HEART, even though this book, more than any so far in the series, seemed to embody the strengths and weaknesses of THE WHEEL OF TIME.\nBy the time this book came out, people had already begun to turn on the series a bit, criticizing Jordan for making a money grab and stretching out the series as long as he could and filling his books with more and more characters, more and more world-building, and less plot advancement. In WINTER\u2019S HEART, Jordan moves the plot forward in a few places, but does so in as bizarre a way as any author I\u2019ve seen.\nI don\u2019t want to spoil anything for those who haven\u2019t read this book yet, so if you don\u2019t want any spoilers at all, please stop reading this review. If you don\u2019t mind vague spoilers, I\u2019ll do my best to be non-specific \u2013\nOne of the series\u2019 main female characters learns she is pregnant during the time period depicted in the book. \u201cDuring the time period depicted in the book?\u201d you might say. What a strange way to phrase that!\nI word it that way because Jordan doesn\u2019t actually include that part in the book. In fact, we spend probably eight to 10 pages in that character\u2019s POV chapter before she mentions that she\u2019s pregnant in passing, and that\u2019s why Character A gets this, this, this and this for breakfast, Character B gets this, this, this and this for breakfast and she gets this, this and this to eat because she\u2019s pregnant. I\u2019ve honestly never seen anything like it. By the end of WINTER\u2019S HEART, Jordan is nearing 240,000 words in this series. He has been roundly criticized for packing too much into the story, detailing every minute detail of his character\u2019s lives, putting 100,000 words or more between major plot developments, and somehow we know everything the characters eat for breakfast on a daily basis but we aren\u2019t there when one of the main characters learns they\u2019re pregnant.\nIt\u2019s totally bizarre.\nFor the most part in this series, even in the books I didn\u2019t especially like, I\u2019ve liked the way Jordan ends the book with a rip-roaring fight, usually between Rand and one of the big bads. This time, Jordan does an excellent job of setting up the big fight. Rand is busy using so much magic that he can\u2019t defend himself, and he must rely on those around him to defend him from the Forsaken descending upon him. It\u2019s great.\nJordan speeds up the pace, jumping from POV character to POV character, and we see the battle beginning from probably eight different characters\u2019 points of view. But then we jump to another character on the outskirts of the fray who wants nothing to do with the dangers of battle. They can\u2019t see anything, but they guess that the Forsaken are probably losing.\nOf course, we can\u2019t trust this because one of Jordan\u2019s favorite games is to have a POV character express an opinion that\u2019s wildly inaccurate, but in the next scene the battle is over and we\u2019re told who lived and died. Somehow, Jordan spends all this time building up to this fight, and as good guys and bad guys run into each other, he cuts away just as the fighting begins. It\u2019s as though Jordan hates the reader, and is now just taunting them. You want something to happen? Fine, but I\u2019m not going to show it to you. I\u2019ll just tell you everything that happens before and then skip over the exciting parts.\nMat Cauthon is back for this book, and seems to get the bulk of Jordan\u2019s attention. I have to say, Mat has really grown on me again. I struggled with him in some of the early books, but Jordan has certainly found his grasp of this character, and I was happy to spend more time with Mat as he makes his way in Seanchan-controlled Ebou Dar.\nPerrin\u2019s determination to find his wife, who was kidnapped in one of the earlier books, is gripping early on and I expected to see him try to chase down her kidnappers, but Jordan soon drops this plotline and never returns to it.\nHaving Rand spend the bulk of his time with Min is a good choice, as Min has been one of the few female characters Jordan hasn\u2019t made off-putting. I also liked seeing Rand working with Lan, even though they follow a red herring plotline where they walk into a trap set by a big-time bad guy, but then the big-time bad guy runs away almost immediately, making the whole thing kind of pointless.\nJordan is still creating more mysteries for the readers to try to figure out, and while he does answer others, they\u2019re questions that were set up in the third or fourth book of the series. Sometimes he pulled out the big reveal, and instead of saying, \u2018Wow, that\u2019s amazing!\u2019 my response was, \u2018Oh yeah. I\u2019d forgotten about that.\u2019\nSo here I am, nine books into the series. Jordan seems to have a better grasp of his main characters than he did earlier and he has found ways to make some of them more interesting, but his pacing still isn\u2019t quite right and some of the storytelling decisions he made in this book were downright strange.",

        "raw_content": "Nobody Has A \u201cRight\u201d To Charity\nOver at the Huffington Post, Kerry Kennedy and Monika Kalra Varma are making a rather bizarre argument about Haiti,\nThe international community too often regards procurement and distribution of basic supplies as charity, but it is wrong. Access to food, water, shelter, education and healthcare are basic human rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. For too long, the international community has also failed to involve local communities in the planning process or open their books so local stakeholders could see what was to be spent on which projects.\nLike many liberal \u201cideas,\u201d this sounds nice, but it\u2019s almost unspeakably stupid and ill-thought out.\nProviding people with \u201cfood, water, shelter, education and healthcare\u201d costs money. So, it may sound nice to say that those things are \u201crights,\u201d not charity, but what it actually means is that you believe someone else should be deprived, by force if necessary, of his property so it can be given to someone else.\nFurthermore, there\u2019s not even a need for the people receiving the \u201cfood, water, shelter, education and healthcare\u201d to be grateful or even to work to provide those things for themselves. After all, they\u2019re not receiving \u201ccharity,\u201d it\u2019s their \u201cright\u201d to receive those things.\nMoreover, it\u2019s true that conservatives tend to be a little quick to play the Commie card. But, when you start declaring that one person has a \u201cright\u201d to things that another person worked for and earned, you\u2019re stepping up to that line. In fact, when you get right down to it, what Kennedy and Varma said there is little different from Marx\u2019s famous quotation, \u201cFrom each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.\u201d\nIf Kennedy & Varma want to argue that more should be done for Haiti or that nations that pledged aid should live up to their pledges, that\u2019s fine, but when you start claiming that we have a responsibility to pay for \u201cfood, water, shelter, education and healthcare\u201d for everybody in the world because it\u2019s their \u201cright,\u201d then you\u2019re veering into dangerous territory.",

        "raw_content": "Family Holiday Traditions | Vlogmas\nRogan Shannon\tVlogmas\t December 8, 2017 December 13, 2017\nVideo: youtu.be/aOHp1m0d-2Y\nI made it a week without missing a day! Yes! Welcome to day 8 of Vlogmas! Today, I wanted to talk about my family\u2019s holiday traditions. Obviously, you have two sides \u2013 my dad\u2019s side and my mom\u2019s side. My mom\u2019s side, we don\u2019t really have any \u201cspecial\u201d traditions. It\u2019s pretty much a traditional Christmas. Getting together with family, have food, open presents. Nothing that special. That\u2019s my mom\u2019s side. Most live in here in Washington state. On my dad\u2019s side, many live in Alaska. That\u2019s where we\u2019re going this Christmas, to Alaska.\nMy dad\u2019s side has two sides. His parents divorced a long time ago, both re-married a long time ago. So\u2026 On my grandpa\u2019s side, we usually will spend a few hours with him on Christmas morning, and his family. My grandma is the one we tend to stay with when we visit Alaska. That side has traditions. We have three traditions, I guess?\nFirst, we started doing this more recently for the adults in my immediate family. Me, my parents, grandparents, my dad\u2019s siblings, their spouses. We draw names for who we gift to, like Secret Santa. My cousin is still young, like seven, eight years old. So she gets gifts from all of us.\nSecond is with my grandma and her husband\u2019s family. I call him my grandpa because I grew up with him my whole life so\u2026 What we do is kiiinda a \u201cWhite Elephant\u201d exchange, but it\u2019s not really White Elephant. I\u2019ll explain why. We follow the same rules as White Elephant. Meaning one gift for each person, we can steal up to two times, blah blah blah. The difference is, all of the gifts are honestly good gifts, not White Elephant gifts. Like for example, good gloves. One year, my mom happened to get a cooler full of meat, like salmon, steak, delicious, good meat. It varies, a lot of different things. But they\u2019re all GOOD gifts, useful gifts. That\u2019s the difference between what we do and White Elephant. White Elephant is just useless gifts.\nThe third is technically two in one. I won\u2019t go into it too much because I already explained it in a video last year. But basically, every year, my grandma will \u201cbuild\u201d a Christmas village. Like, I\u2019m not even kidding, a literal village. Go watch the video, seriously. It\u2019s huge. She starts about mid-October to the beginning of November, starts building it and finishes it. Then she\u2019ll take it down in February, sometimes March. That is one tradition that started when my parents bought her her first house, so of course they blame my parents for starting the whole thing. Earlier, I said that it was a two in one tradition. That second tradition started only when the village was an actual village. What happened is my aunts thought why not? They decided to stage an invasion of that Christmas village. What they do is they will\u2013every year, it\u2019s different. On Christmas Eve, they\u2019ll go into the house, put things in. Then on Christmas, she\u2019ll discover what they put in. It\u2019s different every year. One year, my family was there, we put rubber ducks, the little ones. One year they did the green army men, but they were painted white, so they disappeared in the snow. One year they did Barbies, so it was like a giant invasion. Another year was farm animals. Lizards\u2026 All kinds. I\u2019m not sure what this year will be yet, maybe you\u2019ll find out if I film anything. Seriously, if you haven\u2019t watched that video from last year, go watch it. It\u2019s really\u2026 Wow.\nOh, one more tradition, I guess you could call it that, is that my family (my parents and me), will make caramels. Like, homemade caramels, we cut them, wrap them individually, every year. It used to be just plain caramels. But over time, we added coffee, we\u2019ve added cinnamon. Delicious! We\u2019ve tried a couple other flavors, but we haven\u2019t really experimented with flavors. We mostly just stick with the original recipe.\nThis is a little bit of a joke, but also kind of serious. I, for sure me, have started a new tradition *chuckling* of going to see the new Star Wars movie every year. No really, I have gone and seen Star Wars in the theaters every year since The Force Awakens came out. In fact, I watched Force Awakens twice in theaters, when I was in Australia. I got lucky and was able to get tickets for two open caption showings, at different times, but yes. So I saw it twice in theaters. Then Rogue One, I watched it in IMAX, in Seattle with my parents. That was really cool. Now, soon The Last Jedi will be released in theaters. My dad and I will go and watch it with open captions next week on Dec. 17th. Yes!!!\nSo that\u2019s my family holiday traditions. I\u2019m curious, what about your families? Do you have any unique traditions that you do every year? Let me know in the comments below. And that\u2019s it for today.\nPrevious Post Winter Clothing | ASL Ponderings | Vlogmas\nNext Post Snowflakes | Vlogmas",

The dragon is a common theme in Tibetan jewelry, over the years. I have found pieces with a similar dragon dating to the 1930s. This one I would date from the 60s. a beautiful striated Carnelian stone is at the mouth of the dragon, and again, the wear on the bezel tells us this piece has been worn. Three beautiful stones at the tail finish off the piece. Use as an arm cuff, and depending on the size of your arm you can wear it up the forearm (as in Phot 2), or possibly on the upper arm.\nThe cuff measures just under 7\" taking a soft tape around the interior, with a 7/8\" gap from the dragon's mouth to tail. Cuff is 5/16\" in width. Dragon's head including stone is about 3/4\" wide by 1\" long. Other than the wear pointed out, is in good vintage condition.\nSymbol of power, strength, and luck.",

        "raw_content": "Developments in science and technology that impact the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention\nToday, IAP (the global network of science academies) publishes, in partnership with the Royal Society, the US National Academy of Sciences and the Polish Academy of Science, a review of scientific and technological developments that have implications for the UN Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BWC).\nThe review, available to download, is being presented at a side event at the Meeting of the States Parties to the BWC in Geneva, Switzerland. It ensures that the most up to date scientific advice in the area of biosciences is available to assist policy makers in preparing for the 8th BWC Review Conference, which takes in place December 2016.\nProfessor Rod Flower FRS, who chaired the project, said \u201cWhilst the malevolent uses of biological organisms or toxins has been historically low, new scientific advances present both opportunities and possible risks in the foreseeable future. For instance, this year gene editing has raised a number of ethical concerns, including the potential biosecurity risks it poses.\n\u201cThe scientific community has an important role to play in helping policy makers identify measures to manage these risks without jeopardising the enormous potential benefits from research advances. We look forward to feeding our findings into the Meeting of the State Parties to support discussions ahead of the 2016 BWC Review Conference.\u201d\nKey issues highlighted in the review include:\nBiosciences are developing at an unprecedented rate and moving from \u2018concept\u2019 to \u2018application\u2019 is becoming ever simpler, with costs continuing to fall. This has both positive and negative implications for the BWC.\nTechnological barriers to acquiring and using a biological weapon have been significantly eroded since the Seventh Review Conference (2011).\nAlthough these new advances in biotechnology could be used for non-peaceful purposes they are still expensive and complicated to acquire and deploy successfully. This situation may change in the future, reinforcing the need for on-going efforts to review relevant developments in science and technology.\nThe \u2018bio-economy\u2019 has grown significantly and is therefore itself a potential target for attack.\nA positive outcome since the Seventh Review Conference is that the global ability to quickly and accurately detect and treat disease has been greatly enhanced thanks to developments in technology such as genetic sequencing.\nToday\u2019s side event, hosted by the Royal Society and IAP, also includes presentations about synthetic biology and microbial forensics, a relatively new scientific discipline used to help investigate possible bioterrorism attacks, or inadvertent microorganism or toxin release.",

        "raw_content": "Ebola Kills All Hope (of Sanity)\nBOLOGNA \u2014 Open any newspaper, turn on the television or radio, and you will be confronted by the inevitable demise of humanity at the hands of the Ebola hemorrhagic fever \u2014 the virulent disease that swept across West Africa and has now reached the shores of America and Europe. The World Health Organization predicts that Ebola has an average fatality rate of 50 percent, with different outbreaks through history ranging from as low as 10 percent to as high as 90 percent, making it one of the most lethal diseases known to humanity\u2026as long as you manage to catch it, that is.\nIn an Oct. 3 update on the status of the response to the most recent Ebola outbreak, the WHO reports just under 7,500 cases with just under 3,500 deaths. Due to reporting and recordkeeping problems on the ground, along with the fact that the countries affected are suffering from a serious outbreak of a deadly disease, those numbers probably don\u2019t represent the true extent of the outbreak. Even if you vastly overestimate the number of deaths so far though, it still falls far short in comparison to equally hyped and world-ending diseases such as the flu, which kills thousands of people worldwide every year. Among the deadliest pandemics of human history, the 1918 outbreak of what came to be known as the Spanish flu rises to the top of the list. That one strain of influenza killed between 20 and 50 million people worldwide in one year, compared to a total confirmed death toll of 3,885 as a result of Ebola since it came onto the world stage in 1976, according to the Centers for Disease Control.\nMost of the flu-related deaths from year to year are in what are considered to be \u201chigh-risk populations.\u201d In short, children, the elderly, and those already sick through some other disease are at a greater risk of succumbing to the flu than an average, healthy adult. Every year, doctors and public health officials urge these populations to get vaccinated against the flu to reduce the number of cases (and as a result, deaths), but it hasn\u2019t ever been able to be fully contained. By comparison, there is no vaccine to prevent Ebola and there is no cure once you contract the disease, so why hasn\u2019t it matched the death toll of the Spanish flu, the Black Death, or any other disease in recorded history?\nIn the absence of a fancy vaccine or breakthrough treatment procedure, the best way to keep oneself from contracting Ebola is simple basic sanitation. In the case of communities in Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Nigeria, it is the lack of proper infrastructure and facilities to quarantine the infected that have made this outbreak as horrendous as it has been. Unsurprisingly, those most at risk of contracting Ebola are the family members of people already sick with the disease, and the doctors and nurses who care for them. In a developed country such as the United States, where proper containment and quarantine procedures can be followed, the risk of a major outbreak drops dramatically.\nTo those who would rather seal our borders and cut off all contact with infected areas, such a strategy cannot make the situation any better and would likely do just the opposite. The additional resources that can be deployed by developed countries such as the United States are a great help for the doctors working on the ground in Africa, compared with a negligible chance that the disease could ever gain a foothold in the United States or Western Europe.\nWe will continue to hear about the rising death toll in Africa, and if more cases make their way to the Western world, those will be reported on as well, but we need to keep in mind the bigger picture of it all and realize our position in it. The chance that any of us will die from some other disease dwarfs the possibility that we will die from Ebola, and the costs of cutting off the support that can fight this outbreak will make the world distinctly worse off than it was before. Perhaps this event will even give humanity the impetus to find a cure for Ebola and eradicate it once and for all, as has been done for smallpox and polio already, as well as for even deadlier diseases ravaging the African continent, such as malaria or HIV.\nPrevious Bullying at SAIS is unacceptable\nNext Photo Essay: \u201cGolden Week\u201d in China",

        "raw_content": "If Nigerians must fulfil its divine duty to the world, it will be highly inappropriate for Nigeria to march into this perfect state with all the imperfections contained in her body polity. All identifiable imperfections must be jettisoned and put away. These imperfections can be found under many sections of our constitutions and laws. Some of the items listed under exclusive list of the Federal Government of Nigeria are unnatural, morally unjustifiable, and outright robbery.\nThe constitutional rights and legislation on \u2018mines and minerals, including oil fields, oil mining, geological surveys and natural gas\u2019 is robbery to say the least; the decree on \u2018Federal Character\u2019 is a law that is designed to perpetrate mediocrity; a host of other duties and responsibilities hijacked by the Federal Executive and Legislative bodies are aimed at the oppression and enslavement of the people of Nigeria. All these laws must be thrown out into the dustbin where they should have been in the first instance.\nThe feudal lords in Nigeria under the supervision of the British Government were the advisers and consultants behind all these outrageous illegal legislation and immoral constitutional rights adopted by Nigeria. It is unfortunate that the true nationalist fighters could not understand in the 1940s that Britain has nothing of freedom, equality, justice and morality to offer the independent nation of Nigeria. At least if they understood, they would have been more cautiously alert to the Trojan gifts that Britain cleverly wrapped and delivered through the feudal lords of Nigeria. Britain is a country of slave owners, feudal lords, and hereditary royalty that oils the wheel of her establishments with political, economic and social patronages. It is a country, even as we go into the twenty-first century that is constitutionally owned by the Windsor family.\nNigerians should not be fooled or bamboozled by the \u2018civilised\u2019 comedians in the circus show of the British parliament. Every Member of Parliament is aware of who holds and wields the power in Britain. By idolatrously swearing to an oath of allegiance to the Queen and her children till eternity the MPs have confirmed that anything else they do in the parliament is just a sideshow.\nFrom the history of Britain, it was recorded that Henry VIII beheaded Thomas More, the author of Utopia, a knight and the Lord Chancellor because he refused to acknowledge this king as the head of the Church of God in England. Today, this is one of the oath every cowardly MP gladly swears to and yet the ignorant people of Britain still expects the laws made by this House of Commons to be just, impartial and inclusive. This is definitely a joke.\nThe Government of Britain operates on behalf, at the mercy and by the grace of the King or Queen. The King or Queen does not need to raise his or her voice; a nod of the head is sufficient to scupper twelve months of legislative work by this celebrated, all-important, servile, and toothless parliament of democracy. Is that the manner of greatness Nigerians still have in mind?\nThere is no freedom in all the elaborate and sophisticated dressed-up civilisation of Great Britain. It is pure and simple, a grand delusion and an elaborate camouflaged slave colony. Every British knows that the citizenship right is a mirage and an illusion. It is not an automatic right but a privilege that can be bestowed or taken away at the mercy of the establishment.\nEveryone knows that the reality, as at today, is that they are all subjects of the crown. They are nothing but perpetually frightened servants, serfs, footmen/women of the King and his inheritance forever. That is what the much-flaunted British\u2019s Bill of Rights says. \u201cThe lords spiritual and temporal, and commons, do, in the name of all the people aforesaid, most humbly and faithfully submit themselves, their heirs and posterities for ever\u2026\u201d\nAs a result of this so-called constitutional rights and even much farther on, since the forceful invasion of the villainous force led by the Norman William the Conqueror in 1066, every inch of the soil of British Isles and every soul resident on it is owned by The Firm \u2013 The House of Windsor and Family, the current inheritor.\nNigeria ceased to be an occupied territory anymore since 1960. The Act of Independence nullified even the unjust right of the occupied force that captured the northern areas before 1914. Nigeria is a country wholly established, since 1960, on the foundation and \u2018principles of freedom, equality and justice\u2019 for all. There is no subject, or serfs, or servants in Nigeria, every Nigerian is a full blood citizen with inalienable equal rights. Therefore to constitute a Federal Government that acts and behaves as the owner of Nigeria is unconstitutional, illegal and immoral to say the least.\nThe Federal Government of Nigeria must be reconstituted in words and in spirits as a purely voluntary co-ordinating body for the independent and self-governing state governments. The sovereignty in Nigeria should lie with the people in the primary communities of Nigeria who, by various treaties, should be free to ally and be friends with whosoever they so wish on planet earth. The ownership and management of the resources in land, on land, in water and on water should be vested under the constitution and by law on the community where those resources are based and on nobody else. Consequently,\nThe Federal Government of Nigeria shall own and shall have nothing except the contributions made freely by all the constituting states.\nThe state government shall own and shall have nothing except the contribution freely made by all the constituting local governments.\nThe local governments shall own and shall have nothing except the contribution freely made by all the constituting communities or villages.\nThe above simple guidelines shall be the moral and philosophical principle that will govern the New Nigerian nations under preparation.\nThis writer will like to warn and to reveal to Nigerians that the millennium ahead of us will be the age of the small is beautiful and pretty and of the small is ideal or excellent or perfect. In the millennium, the importance and prestige of a nation shall no longer lie in the geographical size of the land or in the magnitude of its population but in the qualitative and quantitative well being of its citizen in total. From experience, it is now clear that the larger a state is the greater is the tendencies towards corruption, sleaze, secrecy, nepotism and abuse of political power.\nAgain, the larger the resources at the disposal of any government, the more tempting it becomes for the public office holder to propagate a dynastic and perpetual rule for life. The result flowing from this type of perversion is the birth of monarchical system of kings, nobles and royalties or the aristocratic system of elites and propertied class who are nothing but the products of greed, avarice, robbery and selfishness. The self-serving desire to retain political power eternally within one\u2019s family, along the line of one\u2019s blood relation and nobody else is born of the evil seed of greed and vanity. Any altruistic explanation, like, to prevent civil war in the state, is nothing but a callous and cunning cover-up.\nTherefore, for the Federal Government of Nigeria to act as a Father Christmas to all the states is a perversion of the natural order of life, more so when it is realised that the money being spent by this Father Christmas is stolen. This is a case of robbing Peter to pay Paul. Why rob at all? Using stolen money for charitable acts does not detract the fact that the generous giver is a proven robber and a hoodlum. Nigerians who have seen the truth should not be taken in by the fables of Robin Hood. It could only happen in a society where there is a complete mistrust and a total breakdown of truth and justice. Nigerians should endeavour to stop the injustice of the illegal rights being wielded by the Federal Government of Nigeria in the exploitation and expropriation of the resources of Nigeria.\nIt is clear from our discourse in Winner and Loser, that the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) is just being used as a rotten middleman by the western powers as they continued, even after independence to exploit and expropriate the resources of the country. The whole game is couched in espionage, bribery, kickback and corruption of a \u2018legally and internationally\u2019 sanctioned and sophisticated type.\nThe Federal Government, since 1960, is a stooge and a puppet of western powers. FGN is the counterpart trader of the type that organised the local arm of the triangular slave trade. The illegally constituted FGN collects kickbacks, bribes and the peanut prices being offered by the buyers in the modern slave trade for the oil lifted and other commodities taken from the shores of Nigeria. And because what the FGN is offering for sale does not morally belong to it, it does not show any serious concern in the pricing method and in other logistics of these trades that could protect the resources from being cheaply exploited as well as the life of the actual owners.\nThe FGN, therefore, is a clone of the British Government and it is clandestinely established principally to siphon the wealth of the indigenous people of Nigeria who have been reduced to voiceless and powerless entities on their ancestral lands. It is as a result of this inglorious service by the Federal Government that Nigeria has been unable since 1960 to produce a strong leadership. The departing colonial government ensured that the country was adequately booby-trapped to forestall the emergence of any serious leader.\nHence, for the Federal Government of Nigeria to have adopted indiscriminately the institutions of government the colonial government established before independence speaks volume. It should be remembered that the colonial government was wholly and principally established for the exploitation, the raping and the pillaging of the conquered territories of Nigeria for the Crown. Therefore, for the independent government of Nigeria to have shamelessly and foolishly adopted these institutions without any visible amendment is a confirmation that it merely continued with the exploitation, the raping and the pillaging of the land and the people of Nigeria.\nThe Federal Government of Nigeria since 1960 has in all honesty been a mere puppet of the British Government which disguises itself as ambassadors, businessmen, industrialists, accounting and auditing firms, insurance and banking institutions, missionaries, voluntary organisations, etc. This is the truth and this is the hidden fact behind the inability of Nigeria to grow and to evolve as divinely planned by The Creator.\nHowever, thanks to the divine grace of The Creator, this ingenuous cover is being gradually removed and the ugly teeth of the Great Beast is being revealed. This killer beast with her mouth covered in blood has never secured life to any of those who had the misfortune of its acquaintance. Its stock in trade is to con, to maim, to kill, to steal, to rob, to set brother against brother and to enslave in perpetuity all those it sets eyes on.\nThere is a good example this writer will like to share with Nigerians. As a student of Life Science with special interest in international politics, this writer was wondering what was going on in 1996 when the British Prince of Wales set out on a visit to one of the poorest countries in Asia \u2013 Bangladesh. Shortly afterwards, John Major, the then Prime Minister of Britain with a coterie of team drawn from the business community made yet another visit. I knew something was in the offing. My suspicion was sooner confirmed by a documentary on Bangladesh by The Financial Times. Hooray! Bangladesh has discovered oil and gas on her territory. I gave myself a pat on the back for guessing right that something was brewing in Bangladesh.\nThis is the philosophy and the strategy of Britain, a country that believes it owned the world. It continues to comb and parade like a hawk all the territories it conquered in the last two centuries to take possession of any known assets or evolving assets in those territories by cunning and by bribery. As happened in Nigeria, the government of Bangladesh, as it develops its oil industry, will be conned, bribed and blackmailed into given massive concessions to British businesses and companies. The contracts these companies will draw up with Bangladesh, if placed under proper intellectual scrutiny will be found to be nothing but a mumbo-jumbo maze of treacherous legal minefields designed to rob the citizen of Bangladesh of their God-given wealth.\nNigeria has gone through the same charade and that is why as at 1998 and after almost fifty years in oil business Nigeria is completely bankrupt. Thanks to the feudal lords, prodigal sons, political gangsters and unconcerned professionals of Nigeria under the disguised employment of Britain. Also, thanks to the brilliant advice and expertise of British industrialists, financial investors, bankers, insurance men, diplomats, and voluntary workers who were the sole contracting-managers of the Nigerian oil industry.\nBritain, as the owner of an empire where the sun never sets, is a country born and cultivated by greed, watered by greed, nurtured by greed and bred in greed. The lifeblood of Britain is hate \u2013 the hatred of every other being in the universe except self. It is a country since its conception is perpetually primed in war, blood and loot. Henry Kissinger, the ex-Secretary of State to the United States of America, on a recent visit to Britain was quoted as saying, Britain is the only country in the world that desires, enjoys and glorifies in war. Of course we can trust the authenticity of this statement coming from Henry Kissinger who is a master in his own right on this particular trade of war.\nHowever, as a common adage says, whatever goes up must come down, this is the down turn of Great Britain. By the divine timetable, Britain\u2019s time is up. Britain must be told so in case she is unaware of her fate. But as at now, this revelation is meant for the people of Nigeria. It is meant for your consumption, digestion and understanding as every Nigerian gathers his or her moral, spiritual and intellectual sense together for a final showdown with Britain.\nThis showdown has been long over due. Are you afraid? Please don\u2019t be because The Creator of Heaven and Earth is our Commander-in-Chief. It is a bloodless confrontation. It is principally to use and to turn the legal instruments Britain devised and which she has used all these years to perpetrate evil in the world against her. It is a spiritual and intellectual engagement. Peace and freedom is our aim. Truth and love shall be our weapon.\nMay The Spirit of truth open your eyes and mind to the truth of this moment. May it kindle in your soul the fire and the desire to seek and to search for the truth of life in all its glory. And may the discovered truth of life set you free from now on and forever.\nTagsequality, freedom, geo-politics, human-rights, justice, peace, social revolution, sovereign right, truth\nNigeria on Fire : The New Beginning VI (b) \u2013 On Greatness or Perfection | SAM ABBD ISRAEL\t January 12, 2017 at 8:23 pm\n[\u2026] SAM ABBD ISRAEL In The Spirit Of Truth Skip to content \u2190 Nigeria on Fire : The New Beginning IV \u2013 A Divine Vision For Nigeria Nigeria on Fire : The New Beginning VI (c) \u2013 Truth and Justice \u2192 [\u2026]",

All cetaceans have a single or double blowhole (nostril/s) on top of their head, 2 front flippers, and tail flukes that they move up and down to swim through the water.\nToothed whales are grouped together in Odontoceti, which includes oceanic dolphins, sperm whales, pygmy and dwarf sperm whales, porpoises, beaked whales, beluga whales and narwhals, and river dolphins. Unlike baleen whales, toothed whales have teeth that they use for catching prey and also have a single rather than a double blowhole. Additionally, all toothed whales echolocate (emit pulses of high frequency clicks and listen for the echoes as they bounce off an animal or object) to hunt or navigate in low light or murky conditions.\nSeveral species of oceanic dolphins are the most common type of toothed whale that is seen in San Diego\u2019s coastal waters although rare sightings of other dolphins, like killer whales, or other toothed whales, such as sperm whales, also occur.\nOceanic Dolphins (Family Delphinidae)\nOceanic dolphins have interlocking, cone-shaped teeth and most have a falcate (curved-back) dorsal (back) fin. Below are some of the dolphin species you may see during a Hornblower whale watch cruise.\nDelphinus delphis (short-beaked) & Delphinus capensis (long-beaked)\nThese beautiful dolphins are mostly gray with a white belly and a distinctive tan and light gray hourglass pattern on each side. These species also have the typical falcate dorsal fin characteristic of most oceanic dolphin species and a prominent beak. Adults reach lengths of 7.5 to 8.5 feet (2.3\u20132.6 meters) and weigh up to 300 pounds (136 kilograms). Males are usually larger than females.\nCommon dolphins range throughout tropical and temperate (seasonally cold) waters worldwide.\nCommon dolphins are carnivores\u2014they only eat meat. They actively prey on a variety of small, schooling fishes and squid.\nFemales give birth to a single calf (baby), which is nursed for about a year.\nCommon dolphins are usually found in herds of 100 or more individuals. They are occasionally seen in large mega-herds of thousands of individuals. These active and acrobatic dolphins often porpoise when traveling at high speeds, leap high out of the water, and ride the bow wake or stern wake of boats. Common dolphins often seen in mixed-species feeding groups that include other dolphins, baleen whales, or California sea lions.\nCommon dolphins are preyed on by large sharks, particularly great white sharks, and orcas/ killer whales.\nThere are two species of common dolphins: the short-beaked common dolphin and the long-beaked common dolphin. The short-beaked common dolphin has a more rounded melon (forehead) while the long-beaked has a flatter melon. Short-beaked are usually found offshore while long-beaked common dolphins tend to be found in coastal waters and are the species most often seen off San Diego\u2019s coast.\nThe aptly named common dolphin is the most commonly spotted type of dolphin and is seen on nearly every Hornblower whale watch cruise.\nCommon dolphins and other cetaceans sleep in one-hemisphere of their brain at a time.\nThe bottlenose dolphin is dark to light gray with a light ventral (belly) coloration. It is named for named for its prominent \u201cbottlenose\u201d or beak. Adults reach lengths of 8 to 12 feet (2.5\u20133.8 meters) and weigh up to 1,430 pounds (650 kilograms). Males are usually larger than females.\nBottlenose dolphins range throughout tropical and temperate (seasonally cold) waters worldwide.\nBottlenose dolphins are carnivores\u2014they only eat meat. They actively prey on a variety of fishes, squid, and crustaceans.\nBottlenose dolphins are often seen in fluid social groups of less than 20 to 100 individuals. These active and acrobatic dolphins often porpoise when traveling at high speeds, somersault, leap high out of the water, and ride the bow or stern wakes of boats.\nBottlenose dolphins are preyed on by large sharks, especially great white sharks, tiger sharks, and great white sharks, Orcas/ killer whales may also prey on bottlenose dolphins.\nThere are two ecotypes (forms) of bottlenose dolphins; coastal and offshore. The coastal ecotype is much smaller and found along shallow coastal waters and in harbors, bays (including San Diego Bay).\nBottlenose dolphins are the most well-known dolphin species. They are also the most common kind of dolphin seen in aquariums and zoos around the world. They are seen on many of the whale watch cruises.\nBottlenose dolphins and most other dolphin species porpoise (leap clear of the water) when traveling at high speeds. However, Porpoises (Family Phocoenidae) do not porpoise.\nThe Pacific white-sided dolphin is best identified by its large, hooked dorsal fin that is bicolored black and white. This stunning dolphin has a short beak and is stunningly patterned in shades of black, gray, and white. Adults reach lengths of 7 to 8 feet (2\u20132.4 meters) and weigh up to 300 to 441 pounds (150\u2013200 kilograms). Males are usually larger than females.\nPacific white-sided dolphins range throughout temperate (seasonally cold), coastal waters of the Pacific Ocean.\nThese dolphins are carnivores\u2014they only eat meat. They actively prey on a variety of small schooling fishes and squid. Scientists believe that Pacific white-sided dolphins mainly hunt for prey at night.\nThese acrobatic dolphins are often seen bowriding, breaching, leaping, porpoising, and somersaulting. Pacific white-sided dolphins are found in groups of 10 to a few hundred individuals. More rarely, they are found in large herds of a couple thousand. These dolphins are often seen near or mixed-in with groups of other dolphins, baleen whales, or California sea lions.\nPacific white-sided dolphins are preyed on by large sharks, particularly great white sharks, and orcas/ killer whales.\nDolphins of the scientific genus Lagenorhynchus are often called \u201cLags\u201d.\nPacific white-sided dolphins are more commonly seen off the southern California coast from November through April.\nThese relatively large dolphins are gray with a white, anchor-like marking on their chest to stomach region. The melon (forehead) is rounded with a distinct central crease and no discernible beak. Adults usually have extensive white scarring all over their body from raking (scratching) from other Risso\u2019s dolphin\u2019s teeth and from the beaks and tentacles of squid prey. Older adults are often almost-completely white from this scarring. Adults reach lengths of 10 to 12.5 feet (3\u20133.8 meters) and weigh 650 to 1,100 pounds (300\u2013500 kilograms).\nRisso\u2019s dolphins range throughout tropical and temperate (seasonally cold) waters worldwide, They tend to be found in deeper, cooler offshore waters, but occasionally come in closer to shore. Males and females grow to about the same size.\nThese dolphins are carnivores\u2014they only eat meat. Risso\u2019s dolphins mostly prey on squid, cuttlefish, and octopuses, but occasionally eat fishes as well.\nFemales give birth to a single calf (baby).\nRisso\u2019s dolphins are typically found in smaller groups of a 3 to 30 dolphins although they occasionally form temporary groups of several thousand. These active dolphins often breach, spy hop, and slap their flippers or flukes on the water\u2019s surface. While they don\u2019t often bowride, Risso\u2019s dolphins sometimes surf waves or the stern wakes of boats.\nUnlike other dolphins, Risso\u2019s dolphins only have up to 7 pairs of teeth in their lower jaw and none in their upper jaw.\nRisso\u2019s dolphins can dive to more than 1,000 feet (300 m) for up to 30 minutes at a time when hunting squid or other prey.\nOrca/ Killer Whale\nThese large dolphins are unmistakable with their striking black-and-white coloration. Adults reach lengths of 20 to 30 feet or more (6\u20139 meters) and weigh up to 4 to 9 tons (3,629\u20138,165 kilograms). Males are substantially larger than females and tend to have a taller, more triangular dorsal fin.\nKiller whales are found in oceans worldwide. They tend to be more common in productive, colder waters.\nKiller whales are carnivores\u2014they only eat meat. Depending on their ecotype (form), killer whales actively hunt a variety of prey including fishes (including sharks and rays), squid, seabirds (including penguins), and marine mammals such as seals and sea lions, other toothed whales including dolphins, and even large baleen whales.\nFemales give birth to a single calf (baby), which is nursed for 1 to 2 years.\nKiller whales are highly social animals living in stable social groups called pods. At least some pods, such as the well-studied resident killer whales in the Pacific Northwest, are made up of an adult female, called a matriarch, and her offspring. In these pods, the both male and female offspring stay with their mother\u2019s pod their entire life.\nKiller whales are often seen fluking, spyhopping, lobtailing, flipper slapping and breaching. Like many dolphins, they also porpoise at high speeds and ride the bow or stern wakes of boats.\nKiller whales are apex or top predators. They have no natural predators.\nThere are at least 10 ecotypes of killer whales. These ecotypes vary greatly in physical size, range, group size, diet, and even dialect/vocalizations.\nKiller whales are seldom seen in San Diego waters. The ecotypes most commonly spotted are Offshores and Eastern Tropical Pacific killer whales. While many killer whales are very specific in their diet, the two ecotypes spotted off our coast probably have a more varied diet an eat a variety of large and small fishes, squid, and dolphins, whales, seals, and sea lions.\nThe black and white coloration of a killer whale is a type of camouflage called counter-shading. The patches of black and white help break up the whale\u2019s body shape underwater and hide them from prey.\nThe killer whale is the largest dolphin species!\nFalse killer whales are mostly black with a bulbous forehead and a prominent, falcate (curved-back) dorsal fin, narrow pointed flippers, and a pale grayish patch in the throat and chest region. Adults grow to lengths of 15 to 20 feet (4.5\u20136 m) and weigh about 1,500 to 2,000 pounds (700\u2013907 kg). Like most toothed whales, males grow larger than females.\nFalse killer whales are found in temperate and tropical oceans worldwide. They tend to be more common in deep water areas of the tropics and are rarely spotted in San Diego waters..\nFalse killer whales are carnivores\u2014they only eat meat. They mostly eat fishes and squids.\nFalse killer whales are highly social animals living in stable social groups called pods. Pods are usually composed of 10 to 30 individuals, although larger pods of up to 100 animals are occasionally seen.\nKiller whales are the only natural predator of the false killer whales, although predation on false killer whales is much rarer than for smaller dolphins species.\nFalse killer whales are members of the oceanic dolphin family. They are rarely seen in San Diego\u2019s coastal waters.\nFalse killer whales along with pilot whales, melon-headed whales, and killer whales are all often referred to as \u201cblackfish\u201d.\nLike killer whales, false killer whales will attack and kill other marine mammals including smaller dolphins and seals and sea lions.\nIn some areas, false killer whales are know to take fish off longlines. They are hunted in drive fisheries in Japan. These dolphins are also occasionally involved in mass strandings.\nPilot whales are mostly black with a bulbous forehead, an indistinct beak, a prominent, falcate (curved-back) dorsal fin that is long at the base, sickle-shaped flippers, and a grayish anchor-shaped patch in the chest region. The short-finned pilot whale has shorter pectoral flippers that the long-finned species and also has a pale, grayish saddle-patch behind the dorsal fin,. Adults grow to lengths of 12 to 24 feet (3.7\u20137.3 m) and weigh up to 2,200 to 6,600 pounds (1,000\u20133,000 kg). Like most toothed whales, males grow substantially larger than females.\nShort-finned pilot whales are found in deeper waters of sub-tropical and tropical oceans worldwide. A second species, the long-finned pilot whale, is not found off the Pacific Coast of North America and instead inhabits temperate (cooler) waters in other regions of the world\u2019s oceans.\nPilot whales are carnivores\u2014they only eat meat. They mostly eat squid, but also occasionally dine on octopuses, cuttlefish, and small fishes.\nFemales give birth to a single calf (baby), which is nursed for 2 to 5 years, which is a very long time for dolphins.\nPilot whales are highly social animals living in stable social groups called pods. Pods are usually composed of 20 to 90 individuals of related females and their offspring.\nPilot whales often fluke before a dive and also spyhop, lobtail, and porpoise at high speeds, although they rarely breach or ride the bow or stern wakes of boats.\nKiller whales are the only natural predator of the pilot whales,\nPilot whales are members of the oceanic dolphin family. They are rarely seen in San Diego\u2019s coastal waters.\nPilot whales along with false-killer whales, melon-headed whales, and killer whales are all often referred to as \u201cblackfish\u201d.\nDue to their highly social nature, pilot whales are occasionally involved in mass strandings.\nPilot whales are still hunted in drive fisheries in several regions.\nOther Toothed Whales:\nA sperm whale is mostly black to dark brown with a large, rectangular head (up to 1/3 of the body length), a low and rounded dorsal fin, and a distinctive blowhole (and spout) angled forward and to the left. The skin tends to be wrinkled behind the head. Adult females grow to lengths of up to 41 feet (12.5 m) and weigh up to 15 tons (13,607 kg). Like most toothed whales, adult males (bulls) grow substantially larger than females, reaching lengths of more than to 62 feet (19 m) and weighing up to 62 tons (57,000 kg).\nSperm whales are found in deeper waters of oceans worldwide. Female-based pods tend to be found in tropical to sub-tropical waters while juvenile males and bulls travel into colder waters. Bulls have even been sighted in waters on the edge of pack ice in both arctic and antarctic waters.\nSperm whales are carnivores\u2014they only eat meat. They mostly eat large squid, but also occasionally dine on octopuses and fishes (including sharks and skates).\nFemales give birth to a single calf (baby), which is nursed for up to 3 years.\nSperm whales are highly social animals living in stable social groups called pods. Most pods are usually composed of 20 to 50 or more individuals including females and their offspring. Young males often form smaller \u201cbachelor\u201d pods and bulls are often solitary except for short-term associations with female-based pods during the spring and summer mating season.\nSperm whales often rest at the surface in a behavior called \u201clogging\u201d to replenish their oxygen stores in between dives. Dines are typically last about 35 minutes and are often to about 1,312 feet (400 m). Sperm whales fluke right before a dive and also spyhop, lobtail, and breach when at the surface.\nKiller whales are the only natural predator of sperm whales. Healthy adults are too large to attack, but sperm whale pod members will actively gather in a circle with calves in the center to protect them during killer whale attacks.\nSperm whales are the largest toothed whales. Adult males reach the same lengths as many of the mid-sized baleen whales including gray and humpback whales.\nSperm whales are one of the deepest diving mammals. Dives can last for up to 2 hours and have been recorded to a depth of 10,499 feet (3,200 meters) or nearly 2 miles deep. Remarkable for an animal that needs to breather air!\nSperm whales have very narrow lower jaws with 18 to 26 pairs of large, cone-shaped teeth that fit into sockets in the upper jaw. They rarely have any teeth in their upper jaw.",

        "raw_content": "Co-hosted by Principal Financial Group\nThis ACtioN Topical meeting has three goals:\nTo bring insights from complexity science to bear on the recognition, identification, and evaluation of new ideas, projects, investments, and research programs.\nTo discuss the subsequent measurement of their adoption and influence.\nTo consider the complicated trade-offs and strategies which arise when considering both the long and the short term.\nQuestions of judgment and of impact pervade all elements of activity.\nHow good is this idea?\nShould I continue along this line of investigation?\nDoes this program have merit?\nIs this idea original and important?\nDid this person make the difference or was it their team?\nIs this portfolio property optimized?\nHow do I design investment strategies that account for different time horizons?\nDid this data really improve our understanding?\nThese are all questions that call for significant and ideally verifiable judgments.\nAt the same time, we are interested in the impact of these judgments: \u201cdid the project achieve its objectives?\u201d \u201cwhat was the measurable impact?\u201d \u201cdid the ideas deliver on their promises?\u201d and \u201cdid this program open up a new market or new opportunity?\u201d\nWe are all trained to assess contributions within increasingly narrow and specialized domains while at the same time scientific, technological and economic advances cross and distort these boundaries. And frequently we are at a loss when it comes to judging these endeavors. Furthermore, the age of (big) data has brought about an over-reliance on quantitative and semi-quantitative metrics. These can engender an illusion of objectivity and are by everybody\u2019s admission problematic even when useful. Making these twin challenges that much harder is the fundamental difference between judgment and impact over the short-term and the long term. In the short-term judgment is easier than impact \u2013 we use reputation, recommendation, and credentials \u2013 whereas in the long-term impact often overtakes judgment \u2013 where we use metrics, testimonials and achievements.\nJudgment can be thought of in terms of three fundamental dimensions: (1) The weight or value of ideas, (2) The distillation and connection of ideas, and (3) the predictions generated by the ideas. By contrast impact has three complementary dimensions of: (1) the frequency of adoption by a market (e.g. profit or market share), (2) the emergence or generation of correlated and complementary ideas (products or markets that depend on the target product), and (3) the long-term innovations produced by the idea (secondary largely unanticipated technologies and markets). Each of these six dimensions can be addressed through several different complexity tools and frameworks.\nComplexity, Judgment, & Impact\nOver the last decade, several new approaches and insights from complexity science have been generated that bear directly on the fundamental dimensions of judgment and impact. These come from fields as diverse as network theory, the dynamics of infectious ideas, cultural evolution and phylogenetic inference, the theory of scaling, first-passage processes, and collective computation.\nTopics of relevant prior work include:\nFirst mover effects through preferential attachment dynamics in networks (e.g. Newman, 2009)\nEvolutionary graph theory and Moran processes in structured populations (e.g. Nowak, et. al, 2009)\nCitation distributions as limiting distributions of simple stochastic processes (e.g. Redner, 1998 )\nResearch strategies and knowledge clusters in large-scale scientific collaboration datasets (e.g. Foster et. al, 2015)\nRandom walk evaluation of knowledge impacts (e.g. Rosvall & Bergstrom, 2007)\nPhylogenetic analysis of cultural transmission (e.g. Mace & Holden, 2005)\nThe infection-like transmission of ideas through populations (e.g. Mace & Holden 2005)\nScaling of measures of productivity in system size (e.g. West, 2017)\nMerging the dynamics of social networks with the evolution of knowledge systems (e.g. Laubichler and Renn 2015, 2017)\nEach of these methods can be applied over the short and the long term with very different results. It will be an explicit objective of the meeting to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of each in relation to case studies and clearly stated problems.",

        "title": "5 Creepy Facts About Japan\u2019s Notorious Suicide Forest: Aokigahara - Scare Street",
        "raw_content": "5 Creepy Facts About Japan\u2019s Notorious Suicide Forest: Aokigahara\nEver since the Blair Witch Project came out, most people think twice before entering an unfamiliar forest. Between narrow, winding trails and menacing looking trees, even the most accessible forest can look sinister from time to time. For Aokigahara, Japan\u2019s most famous forest, a creepy atmosphere is always present. Why? Because this haunted forest is considered one of the most haunted places in the world.\nThe Aokigahara, also known as the Sea of Trees, takes up twelve square miles on the border of Mt. Fuji. While many tourists flock to the forest to admire its vast beauty, the forest also attracts a crowd for another reason. Over the last few decades, the Aokigahara has been considered an ideal location to commit suicide. This fact alone makes the woods creepy by default, but let\u2019s examine what else makes this lush haunted forest so undeniably scary.\n1. Deadly Figures \u2013 Sinister Statistics\nIn 2003, a total of 105 bodies were found in the forest. The year before had marked an all-time high of 132 people who had successfully killed themselves while visiting the Sea of Trees. Thankfully, these numbers have decreased over time. In 2010, over two hundred people came to the forest with the intent of ending their lives, however, only fifty-four of those people actually carried out the deed.\nSome people carry out their suicides in unique ways, but there are two methods that are extremely popular within the forest. Many people intentionally overdose on drugs, but the majority prefer hanging themselves from the tall, twisting trees. Every year, local authorities and volunteers gather to comb through the Aokigahara and cut down bodies. These searches often increase every March, which is when the fiscal year ends in Japan.\nFor years, the Japanese government published suicide statistics about the forest, but have decided to not publish that data the last couple of years. They believe the forest\u2019s notoriety has only increased the number of suicides the trees witness each passing year.\n2. All in the Signs \u2013 Words of Wisdom\nThe Japanese government is extremely eager to make the haunted forest a comfortable, non-violent tourist destination once more. One way they have attempted to lower suicide statistics is to post numerous signs along popular trail ways, etched with positive messages for hikers.\nSome are straight to the point, and list the phone number for Japan\u2019s suicide prevention hotline. Others take a more indirect approach, which request that visitors think about their loved ones, namely their families and their children.\nOther signs have been placed to remind visitors that their lives have meaning and purpose. That their lives are \u201cprecious\u201d as one particular sign claims. The signs may seem slightly cheesy at first, but there is no doubt that they have played a significant role in getting some people to change their minds at the end of each day within Aokigahara.\n3. Misguided Magnetism \u2013 Never Stray from the Trails\nIt is not uncommon for characters to become momentarily lost during horror movies. Unfortunately, it\u2019s also not uncommon for visitors of the \u201csuicide forest\u201d to become lost as well. There are many forests in the world that are significantly larger than the Aokigahara, but its dense foliage make it easy to lose one\u2019s way.\nIt also doesn\u2019t help that cell phones and navigational tools, such as GPS trackers, and even a compass, often fail while in the forest. Scientists have studied the area, and now know that the soil and surrounding area have increased amounts of magnetic iron, which makes most technology unreliable and useless. Those who enter the haunted forest must rely on paper maps, and even so, never dare stray far from the designated trails.\nThose who do feel somewhat comfortable leaving marked trails will often bring twine or colored string with them on their journeys. Wrapping the thread around trees as they go, the visitors provide themselves with a clearly marked trail that they can follow to get back to their campsite.\n4. Bodies Abound \u2013 Evidence of Demise\nEvidence left behind from suicidal visitors are often just as disturbing as the aesthetics of the forest itself. Sometimes, visitors will empty their pockets of their belongings near the base of a tree before carrying out their own deaths. Pictures of loved ones are often left behind, with or without the accompaniment of a suicide note. Suicide is a very private, spiritual endeavor, so some visitors decide not to leave notes, for the sake of their privacy.\nPerhaps the most devastating thing to come across is a campsite that has clearly been abandoned for some time. Those who visit the forest should use caution, as there is a strong possibility that a dead body is somewhere nearby. Despite the regularly scheduled combs through, it\u2019s not uncommon to see evidence of completed or attempted suicides from within the heart of the forest.\n5. Vicious Voices \u2013 Ghosts Among Us\nIt sounds grim, but many people visit the Aokigahara without the intention of ending their lives. The forest has become very popular for paranormal enthusiasts, as it is said to be notoriously haunted. Japanese culture has these spirits called a yurei \u2013 or ghost. It is believed that the Sea of Trees is littered with the yurei, who wander around between the trees late at night.\nMany visitors claim that they have seen numerous misty apparitions while visiting the forest, be it day or night. Disembodied voices, as well as these eerie figures are enough to make anyone nervous. Typically, a yurei will appear close to the spot where a person has committed suicide. Numerous paranormal investigation teams have been out to explore the area, and have successfully captured strange apparitions and disembodied voices on film.\nThis Haunted Forest Is A Place of Death and Beauty\nWhether an individual has morbid curiosity, or simply wants to explore a legendary forest, the Aokigahara is a magical and mysterious place we are still trying to fully understand. It is believed that the spirits of those who have ended their lives continue to live in the forest, encouraging others to join them on the other side. Should you feel you are the slightest bit suicidal or depressed, visiting the forest is probably not a great idea. However, if you want to visit an emotionally charged and physically beautiful forest, the Sea of Trees will by no means disappoint.",

        "raw_content": "SamSword / January 6, 2019\nIn searching for words for the perfect inaugural blog for this year, I came across this Facebook message by a friend. It was not only well written and emotive, but convicting. I instantly knew this had to be the blog as it contained words that could have come from my own mouth.\nI trust you\u2019ll agree with me. So let me introduce you to Mrs. Gemma Carr, because you just might be hearing from her again. She\u2019s not only a gifted writer (though she wasn\u2019t trying to be), but a devoted Christian that isn\u2019t afraid to go deep. Not only that, she also has a strong presence in the local community. Very important.\nHere\u2019s a shout out to Gemma for letting me post her words. If you found this blog helpful, why not learn more about Gemma and the charity work she does and give the Collective Calling website a view? I pray you have a blessed New Year and prosper in every good gift God has lined up for you! Rest in Him this year.\n\u201cThank You 2018\u2026.. What an eventful year it has been!\nIt started with heartache with the loss of yet more family members, my precious nan at the age of 91, and my darling cousin Robert at only 38\u2026.the contrast of a life led to the fullest with a life snatched away before it\u2019s prime. There are lessons learned this year that I take in to the next, another year wiser, another year stronger, another year closer to my Creator.\nLesson #1 \u2013 Live for eternity, life here on earth is just a fleeting moment. What we do here counts, so make a difference, make someone smile, and see each day as a gift. Rejoicing over the good stuff is what gets you through the hard stuff.\n\u2018A cheerful heart is good medicine\u2019 (Proverbs 17:22)\nLesson #2 \u2013 Develop a grateful heart, a grateful heart sees each day as a gift. It\u2019s like a magnet sweeping over your day, collecting reasons to be grateful. Gratitude is an attitude you choose, not a reaction to your circumstances.\n\u2018On the night when he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took some bread and gave thanks to God\u2026he broke it\u2019 (1 Corinthians 11:23-24).\nNote, the words betrayed and thanks are in the same sentence, and in the same heart. On the night Jesus was betrayed, He gave thanks. And you can do that when you know God is in control, directing your steps, and working everything out for your good.\nLesson #3 \u2013 Forgive and Be Patient \u2013 In the words of my cousin Robert on my wedding day: \u201cDon\u2019t go to bed angry, say I love you every day.\u201d\nMarriage is a gift from God to prepare us for what lies ahead in the next life, it is to test our patience and reveal our innermost self, to rid us of our ego\u2019s, and love through good and bad.\n\u201cOne of the best wedding gifts God gave you was a full-length mirror called your spouse. Had there been a card attached, it would have said, \u2018Here\u2019s to helping you discover what you\u2019re really like!'\u201d\nAs 2019 begins, I pray you all have revelations of your beginnings, your purpose, what\u2019s important and what\u2019s not, that you thank God for your blessings, He\u2019s the one that\u2019s given them to you, and love one another with all your heart. In Jesus name, Amen.\u201d\nIntroduction by Jori Sams\nWritten by Gemma Carr\nGemma Carr and her husband are founders of Collective Calling NGO which is currently building a centre for the street children of Tanzania and serving the homeless community of the Costa del Sol.

This type of testing gives us an indication of the progress our students have made so that we can plan the next school year.\nPlease encourage your child to approach this week of testing with a positive attitude. All we ask is that they do their best. We do not, nor should you, expect your child to know all the answers. The students cannot fail this test. Test scores do not affect your child\u2019s promotion to the next grade.\nIn order for the students to perform at their best level, we ask that they get a good night\u2019s sleep, eat a healthy breakfast and be encouraged by Mom and/or Dad on the way to school. Since the third quarter of school is over and this week is aside for testing, the students will not have homework.\nIT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT ALL STUDENTS ARRIVE AT SCHOOL\nBY 8:00AM. Once testing has begun, students will not be allowed to enter the classroom until that portion of testing has been completed. Students who arrive late will stay in the office until their teacher notifies us that they are between tests. We will do make-up testing in the afternoon in the administrative office.\nStudents in grades 4-8 must bring at least two (2) No.2 pencils.\nAll students will have a morning break and they should bring a healthy snack.\nPLEASE DO NOT SEND CANDY OR SODAS.\nFruit, granola and/or fruit bars, veggie sticks and juice are some suggestions.\nStudent may want to bring a towel to sit on for snack time.\nHealthy snacks and drinks will be available for sale for those who forget to bring one\nat a cost of .75-1.00 per item.\nTesting will begin on Monday morning and continue through Friday morning",

        "raw_content": "UPDATE: 59 Killed and 500 More Injured in Las Vegas Shooting\nAt least 50 are dead and 400 more are injured after shots rang out from 32nd floor window into a crowd of concert-goers.\n[UPDATE: October 3, 8:30 a.m.]\nPolice have now confirmed that 59 people have died and over 500 people were wounded in what is now the most deadly mass shooting in modern American history.\nAssistant Clark County Sheriff Todd Fasulo told reporters Monday night that Stephen Paddock was \"soley responsible for their heinous act.\" Police found 23 firearms in Paddock's room at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino and found 19 more at his home.\nPaddock is believed to have checked into his hotel room on Thursday, September 28. It was not clear if he had requested the room overlooking the Route 91 country music concert series down below.\nAs of Monday morning, just hours after the carnage of the night before, two broken windows could be seen from the 32nd floor of the hotel, curtains billowing out. Police believe that Paddock had connecting rooms or the suite that ran between the windows, firing out of both, either to get a different vantage point or to avoid return fire.\nPolice said Paddock smashed the windows with something similar to a hammer before firing down into the crowd of 22,000 people as country music star Jason Aldean began his song, \"When She Says Baby.\"\nPresident Trump ordered the flags to be flown at half-staff on Monday and announced he would be visiting Las Vegas to speak with law enforcement on Wednesday. Trump called the shooting an \"act of pure evil.\"\nSenior law enforcement officials and a Las Vegas casino executive told NBC News that Paddock had made several large gambling transactions in recent weeks, including some of more than $30,000 a day. It was not known if there was any losses or wins.\nA lone gunman fired down from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino into a crowd of nearly 22,000 concert-goers on Sunday night killing at least 50 people and injuring more than 400 more in what is now being considered the worst mass shooting in American history.\nAccording to police, Stephen Paddock, a 64-year-old from Mesquite, Nevada, fired into the crowd of people enjoying the Route 91 concert festival at around 10:08 p.m. local time sending those below into a panic.\nWitnesses of the incident told reporters that they believed the shots were firecrackers at the time. It wasn\u2019t until people starting screaming out that they\u2019d been hit did others begin to realize the sounds were those of an automatic weapon. Video of the event clearly recorded at least three clips being empty out into the crowd. Jason Aldean and his band did not quit playing until the second round of shots rang out.\nPolice found multiple weapons in Paddock\u2019s room, which he checked into on September 28, after using explosives to enter. Paddock himself was found dead with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.\nAt least one off-duty Las Vegas police officer was shot and several other off-duty officers are believed to be among the dead and injured.\nCountry stars Jake Owen and Chris Young just feet away backstage as the shots rang out.\nOwen told reporters that the chaos lasted nearly ten minutes. Owen said he passed several people covered in blood before he got to shelter in a bus, by then the shooting still hadn\u2019t stopped.\nAccording to Las Vegas police, the shooting has no ties to terrorism.",

        "raw_content": "September 10, 2013 March 9, 2018 Categories Workclients, customer service, rational, respect, server, servers, service, teamLeave a Comment on Thoughts on Service\nI\u2019ve been thinking a lot this week about the service industry. Having grown up in it, my parents owned a grocery store for 30+ years, and having spent my career in it, it\u2019s not a foreign concept to me. Still, I am often surprised (even today) when I have an amazing experience at one of my favorite restaurants, salon\u2019s, coffee shops etc. On the flip side, I am actually still (even today) surprised when things go sideways and I\u2019m left with disappointment after what would otherwise be a perfect experience \u2013 aside from the service.\nIn my family, we often frequent our favorite restaurants and find ourselves looking forward to seeing the servers there. They are our friends, our extended family, and really what makes our experience special. Whether it\u2019s Shawna or Meg at Spinasse, Seth at How to Cook a Wolf or Matthew at Canlis.\nEach of these individuals has made our experience so special, that we remember them. And they remember us. They welcome us with warm enthusiasm and open arms every time we arrive at their establishment. They make us feel special. They get to know us, and they anticipate what we need. Most importantly, we trust them. We trust them with our time, our dollars and our experience. With this crowd, we just say, \u201cbring us what you think we will love.\u201d And they always do. That is the key in the service business. This trust that is established \u2013 over time \u2013 as clients and servers get to know each other is a magical balance of understanding where each other is coming from, and trusting one another to deliver. It is what makes restaurants, coffee shops, salons, stores, and agencies \u2013 great. It is what differentiates the great from the good.\nWhich gets me thinking about my business, Rational. Rational at its core is a service-based business. In our four-year history we have had the good fortune of working with some of the most wonderful clients, friends and colleagues in the business today. Our goal is to make sure they feel the same when working with Rational, as I feel when dining at Spinasse. They should feel taken care of, that their needs are anticipated and met before they ask, and they should trust that what we deliver not only meets their needs, but also exceeds them. They should feel like a member of our family, because they are. We would not be here without them! We must never lose sight of that fact, across our full team, no matter what role.\nOur service offering relies on that careful balance of trust and expertise. If it\u2019s not there, then the whole thing falls apart. To put ones self in service of others is something that is not easy. It\u2019s the most challenging yet most rewarding job out there. It\u2019s one that can become incredibly rich when both parties trust, respect and enjoy each other. I so appreciate those in my life who make my experiences so much richer, beneficial and meaningful. And for Rational, our goal will always be to make our client experiences the best they have ever had, and that the work we deliver continues to build on our relationship and the careful balance between a client and a server.\nPrevious Post This Labor Day we made jam. Darn good jam.\nNext Post This week\u2019s obsession, Sicily",

        "raw_content": "A Place of Growth, A Place of Peace\u2026A New Family\nLooking back over my time in Scotland, I miss the smiles\u2026the familiar walks\u2026the passion I saw for seeking after Christ. I long to go back, and I\u2019ve only been home for a mere two weeks. I\u2019ve made it clear to many of the congregation\u2026I have come to love them: they always were my family in Christ, but I have been so blessed to form such deep bonds with such a godly group of people. Everything about my experience brought me a step closer to Christ, and that was something I hadn\u2019t felt with such clarity before my stay in Airdrie.\nThe classes\u2013which in reflection\u2013were packed full of the knowledge of Christ and that which concerns His glory, did not even seem like work: I do not mean there was no work\u2026every day was a journey to wrestle with a new perspective, or to enrich a perspective already held. What I mean is that the atmosphere was one of truly wishing to imbue in us a greater desire for Christ, and to see us discipled and that made it enjoyable\u2026I am forever grateful, for such concern not resting solely on getting us to \u201cpass\u201d, but rather to see us become more like Christ. The priorities were right.\nEven our trips around Scotland with the members of the congregation were a wonderful discipling experience: I came to befriend Christians of all ages, and it was amazing to share stories with the older members and to teach the youngest members. One thing is sure: if you seek to become part of the body of Christ, Airdrie is a place I have been welcomed like no other place\u2026It is a place, a people seeking after their Saviour. Of that there is no doubt.\nThe worship life of this church was Living Water to my parched soul. The Word and prayer are held high, and it is an encouragement to see such a passion and desire for the Lord. Young and old gather together before the Holy God of our Salvation, and I cannot tell you how the Lord has used the preaching of the Word, the prayer groups, the Bible studies, etc. to draw me to Christ. The Lord and King Christ is in His rightful ruling place within this place, and I thank Him for placing me somewhere where the food given to the congregation is solid, and the foundation built is started alone on the cornerstone. I have returned home with a firmer foundation in the Word, and with a greater passion to know Christ.\nI have had no church background whatsoever growing up, and the care and respect I was shown regarding my lack of Reformed knowledge was encouraging; I was not forced to accept all that they believed, but the way it was presented and the true reliance on Scripture I saw in their perspectives gave me a true desire to seek after Christ as He is revealed in Scripture. I will even venture to say that I have been convinced to pursue the ministry, and even then within the RP church. It will be seen where the Lord will have me go, but He has used Scotland in such a way that I have come to know Him better and deeper. Once again, I praise the Lord that He gifted me with the experience, and thank all in Airdrie and all of the Scottish RP church for their contribution to my experience.\nThere is no amount of writing that could ever cover all I have learned, or have taken from this program\u2026this chapter of my life. I have been discipled, come to know Christ better, and fostered relationships with my brothers and sisters in Christ across the ocean. I saw new churches take root, new members taken in, and Christ working amidst His Church in Scotland. To all considering this program, please take a step of faith and give this place a chance\u2026offer your gifts to this church, and you will not leave without more deeply knowing Christ. To all involved in the program, I thank you dearly and miss you all already. To Christ, I give glory for all I have learned, all those I have come to know, and all that He has imbued into my heart through this place, these people, this short time.\nLet me cap this stay in Scotland, saying as I should with any thoughts I consider: \u201cAmen. Come, Lord Jesus. The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God\u2019s people. Amen\u201d (Revelation 22:20-21).",

So once again I find myself sharing my story overcoming grief and finding my identity.\nThe year of 1999 was a pivotal point in my life. I was so tired of crying. That\u2019s all I had done for the better part of six months in the aftermath of my divorce. However, the only thing the tears did was mask a deep, troubling truth that I had to face: I was lost and scared. After eighteen years of marriage, I didn\u2019t know who I was.\nMy ex-husband was a pilot, and I had helped him get his career off the ground. I married him when I was eighteen. Being so young, I wasn\u2019t confident enough to be my own person, so I played the role of the dutiful wife and supported my husband. By the time he earned his pilot\u2019s license, I had worked three different jobs to pay for his college and flight school. I spent much of our marriage immersed in his orbit, while my own identity was barely a blip on anyone\u2019s radar.\nWhen we finally separated, the pain was unbearable. Not only had I lost my friend and lover, but I had lost my connection to the world around me. If I wasn\u2019t the wife of the pilot, who was I? But I knew wallowing was not a solution to my problems. To find myself I needed to go on my own journey.\nThe first thing I did was skydive, and at the time, it felt like the best way to find some confidence. It worked; I was motivated to keep pushing myself. Then I ran the Walt Disney World Marathon in Orlando. I went snowboarding. I rode a mechanical bull and suffered two broken ribs, but it didn\u2019t matter; I\u2019d crossed yet another adventure off my bucket list.\nBut for all the excitement and accumulated frequent flier miles, I wasn\u2019t yet entirely comfortable in my own skin, and I needed to rid myself of some baggage.\nWhile at a party, I overheard a man named Frank talking about an upcoming adventure to climb Kala Patthar, a landmark in the Himalayas. My ears perked up. Kala Patthar\u2019s peak, at 18,500 feet, provides jaw-dropping views of Everest, and it is challenging yet accessible for people without significant mountaineering experience. I knew I needed to climb this mountain.\nOn March 15, we all boarded a plane for Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal. Our expedition included sherpas, who served as guides, and I was the only female in our group. We all experienced the altitude-related headaches and the physical strain of day-long climbs in thin air. Tents did little to protect us; it was so cold at night that we slept in full gear, including ski jackets, gloves, hats, face covers, and heavy-duty sleeping bags.\nThe day of our summit, we awoke at 3 a.m. to begin the slow climb to the peak. A few hours later, standing almost 19,000 feet above sea level and reveling in the splendor of the Himalayas, I knew that it was time to let go of the baggage that I had brought to the top of Patthar.\nI was no longer the wife of a pilot. I was my own person, someone who had the confidence and the courage to step out from behind the shadows, take risks, and live life on her own terms. I knew where I had been and where I was going.\nI may have found my identity at a high altitude, but, in that moment, I actually felt more grounded than ever.",

        "raw_content": "Celebrating 40 Years of Access!\nStudent Life Disability Services was established as the Office of the Physically Impaired (OPI) in 1974. In its early years, OPI largely served students and staff who had physical disabilities. Prior to the office opening its doors in 1974, there was already advocacy taking place on campus to address access issues for anyone who had physical limitations.\nOn October 18,1966, Julie Cockran Rogers received a letter from the Ohio State University, College of Medicine, speech and hearing department , stating \u201cAlthough they would be most happy to have her as a student (in reference to the speech and hearing department), physical limitations prohibit any possibility of your being one at OSU.\u201d The letter goes on to state that the building (Derby Hall) where the courses would be held were on the third floor so there was \u201cno way, shape or form\u201d that she would be able to take her course of study and further \u201cthere is little or no hope that it will change in the near future.\u201d The letter goes on to say that \u201cWe have to be realistic and understand that it will be a long time before ideal setups will be available for those with atypical problems. If I were you, I would investigate further the program offered in Illinois and go \u201cwest\u201d of Ohio to pursue a career in speech and hearing.\nJulie enrolled at Mansfield campus and transferred to the Columbus campus. As a student she actively engaged others on campus about inaccessibility issues-from the president of the university and down. In January 1974, University President Harold Enarson called together a task force to address the needs of physically handicapped persons and stated in a letter of invitation to Julie and to Nancy Brower (who became the first director of Disability Services) that the \u201cproblems faced by these special students and employees are ones about which the university should have a broader knowledge.\u201d The charge given to the task force was to review the needs of the physically handicapped on campus and to make appropriate recommendations for change. One of those recommendations was the creation of a disability services office.

        "title": "Space, Cyber and Changing Notions of War | Small Wars Journal",
        "raw_content": "Space, Cyber and Changing Notions of War\nPrior to the establishment of a separate United States Air Force (USAF) in 1947, civilian and military theorists began developing concepts for how the military might exploit space-based capabilities. As these ideas matured over the next half century, the space domain became an integral part of routine military operations. With the creation of the Advanced Research Project Agency\u2019s (ARPA) information network, ARPA-net, in the late 1960s and concurrent developments in computer science, the cyberspace domain began to take form and has matured into a unique military domain. These two domains have changed the traditional notions of what constitutes war by expanding war into a global and continuous enterprise, by demanding a premium on rapid technological innovation, and by creating a potentially dangerous uncertainty in the military decision calculus.\nThe space and cyberspace domains have allowed military operations to occur across the globe and in a continuous manner. Prior to the militarization of space and the introduction of networked computer technology, warfare occurred on a global scale, but physical distance largely isolated field commanders from conflicts in other theaters and from rearward headquarters. Military operations occurred in the traditional domains with a great amount of uncertainty, and information sharing, at its best, occurred by wire, wireless radio, or aircraft message delivery. With the introduction of the satellite, commanders and staffs could communicate over vast distances, know their precise location, and receive space-based intelligence products, meteorological data, and missile warning. Moreover, satellites can provide data and communications to multiple theaters through ground-based, computer-operated information architectures. As cyber operations have come into their own, they show the same capability to effect areas separate from their location and require the same kind of continuous use. Combined or apart, space and cyberspace provide means of a continuous, global power projection unlike what is available from the traditional domains.\nThe perpetual use of space and cyber assets has driven an on-going need for technological innovation unlike that experienced by more traditional domains. The Army, for example, may rely on a tank for forty years (albeit with equipment upgrades), but space and cyber require regular incorporation of new hardware and software to remain relevant in the fast-paced world of technological one-upmanship. This dependence on technology is a double-edged sword that both provides the U.S. armed forces with asymmetric advantages and provides our enemies with easily exploitable weaknesses. In the twenty-first century, our space and cyber forces have already faced serious challenges, and adversaries of the U.S have continued to develop advanced capabilities of their own. Anti-satellite missiles and satellite jammers are proliferating, and cyber actors, both state and non-state, have made their presence known. As long as the adversary continues to develop their capabilities, the U.S. will continue to insist upon rapid technological innovation, particularly in the space and cyber domains. This shift toward technocratic warfare is an acceleration of more traditional notions.\nThe global military presence that space and cyberspace enables and the breakneck pace of innovation contribute to an amount of uncertainty among actors that is atypical of the traditional domains. Land and sea warfare have established bodies of law in the Geneva and Hague Conventions and in the San Remo Protocol, respectively. These rules serve as an agreed-upon framework for \u201cacceptable\u201d behavior in warfare. But what constitutes an act of war in space or cyberspace? Beyond the important prohibition of nuclear weapons in space, there are not many clear answers. Cold War norms between the U.S. and the Soviet Union held that missile warning and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance satellites were off-limits because a nation would likely view an attack on one of those assets as a prelude to nuclear strike, but no treaty codifies those norms among the international community. An absence of clear agreements increases the chance of misunderstanding and miscalculation. The Chinese, for example, may view an anti-satellite missile attack on an American satellite as a \u201cshot across the bow,\u201d but the U.S., with its historical biases, may view the attack as an overt act of war. Cyber warfare lends itself to similar troubling scenarios. Does a denial-of-service attack against a nation\u2019s financial sector require regulation and to what degree? How do we respond if a nation infiltrates our critical infrastructure systems? The uncertainty of these situations requires a deliberate effort to redefine what constitutes war.\nThe military domains of land, sea, air, and even space are well established, and the domain of cyberspace is fast becoming so. The military\u2019s relatively recent acknowledgement of its dependence on space and cyberspace assets, however, requires an organizational reevaluation of the global and continuous nature of war, of the unprecedented premium on technology in the application of space and cyberspace power, and in the uncertainty of what constitutes war in these domains. Complex questions about how to proceed in both domains must seek a balance between militarization and weaponization, and the success or failure of the United States in these warfare domains will ultimately depend upon the decisions of America\u2019s military, elected officials, diplomats, industrial base, and maybe even on its adversaries.\nCategories: warfare domains - space - cyber\nMajor Jerry V.

We would like to develop more detailed information of our building for our website and document the building\u2019s history.\nOur office was originally built in the early 1900s, making it one of the oldest surviving buildings in Bloomington. The Lettelleir family owned the building until 1938, and brothers Joseph and Antone opened Lettelleir Bros. Bakery here in 1915.\nThe Letteillers eventually moved their bakery after a fire in the building, and Roger Curry owned the building from 1938 until 1984. Mr. Curry owned and operated both an insurance firm and a construction company here. Robert Millican, owner of Millican Realty, moved his company into the building in 1988. Mr. Curry was followed by Trish Sterling of Sterling Real Estate in 2009. We began to use the building as our office in 2015.\nIf you have some information to share we would love to hear from you. We are collecting stories of people who use to work or live in the building or were involved in the many remodels to detail a more extensive building history. Any information would be very much appreciated. Thank you.",

        "title": "Los Hacheros to Release Sophomore Album, 'Bambulaye' | Sounds and Colours",
        "raw_content": "New York is a city rich in the history of jazz and salsa. As such, Big Apple-based salsa band Los Hacheros used the jazz improvisation method to come up with a record of salsa originals (and one cover) that is reminiscent of a sweaty dance floor in a Lower East Side nightclub, circa 1979.\nThe band are set to release their sophomore album, Bambulaye via Chulo Records on Friday, the 26th of February, with a party the Django, a nightclub in New York City\u2019s Roxy Hotel, which is\u2014fittingly\u2014inspired by \u201cJazz Age Parisian bo\u00eetes.\u201d (details.)\nThe nine-track record is the result of doing what the band often does when they get together, explains producer/band leader, Jacob Plasse.\n\u201cSix months before we recorded, we jammed, and out of those jams came these songs,\u201d he says. \u201cAll the people in our group are so unbelievably talented. I feel like I don\u2019t have to give them directions. Everyone is trained in improve in jazz, and has learned from playing with older guys in a variety of Cuban bands they have played with.\u201d\nLos Hacheros, who refer to themselves as \u2018modern-day torchbearers of the Golden Age of Latin music,\u2019 also got some help while writing and composing from other talented folks in the New York City salsa scene, such as percussionist Obanilu Ire Allende Solana and conga player, Roberto Quintero, whom Plasse refers to as a \u201cbeast\u201d on his instrument.\n\u201cHe helped us make it sound like it was the 1940s,\u201d he says.\nFrom left: Eddie Venegas, William Ash, \u2018Papote\u2019 Jimenez, Jacob Plasse, Itai Kriss, and Carlos Padron.\nLos Hacheros were born informally in 2011, when Plasse got some of his favorite salsa musicians together, to play a semi-regular gig in Chinatown\u2019s Pulqueria, a wonderful Mexican restaurant which is not really known to draw a crowd that dances. That detail was perfectly fine with Plasse, who admits their band was not exactly part of New York City\u2019s big \u201csalsa on 2\u201d scene, which tends to attract those who take salsa classes and are more focused on the skill, going to congresses and contests.\n\u201cWhen we started out, I loved older Cuban music, and I didn\u2019t really like the direction of \u2018newer\u2019 salsa,\u201d Plasse says. \u201cMy idea was to make it more for people who love music. I wanted it to be more of a inclusive thing, and not about how many steps you know, which is ironic, because some of those people are now our biggest fans. I wanted it to be about something people to discover, whether they can dance or not.\u201d\nNowadays, Los Hacheros draw a very diverse and committed crowd\u2014whether they dance or not.\n\u201cIt has turned into its own counter culture, where the message is about empowerment\u2014that\u2019s what salsa is. That\u2019s what I always thought was so beautiful about it. No one feels excluded. It\u2019s an honor, whoever likes it.\u201d\nBambulaye is a danceable record, or simply one for those who love music, as Los Hacheros have that ability to make their sextet sound like there are 12 people playing music.\nThe flute, played by Itai Kriss, is a thing of beauty. Violinist Eddie Venegas is wonderful (especially on the down tempo love song, \u201cEsta Noche Corazon\u201d), William Ash plays a hearty baby bass, Carlos Padron a delight on the bongos, and Plasse impresses with the tres, a guitar-like instrument originating from the Oriente Province in Cuba. Lead singer Papote Jimenez really does recall the Fania music era, as he is charismatic on stage in a live setting, and lets out the very common in those days, \u201cComo?!\u201d\nSongs on the album are about dancing, the lower east side, Puerto Rico, love, and, as the band is from New York\u2014social issues often debated in the Big Apple. (\u201cJusticia\u201d is about police brutality: \u201cCuando llegara el d\u00eda de la justicia?\u201d its chorus asks.)\nPre-order the album here as it comes with an early download of the title track, \u201cBambulaye.\u201d\nTags: Bambulaye, Chulo Records, Jacob Plasse, Los Hacheros, Puerto Rico, salsa, Son",

The bill will now head to the House, where lawmakers have put forth their own version of the legislation.\nHowever, one of the bill\u2019s supporters, Democratic Sen. Charles Schumer of New York, said the Senate is able to pull together the majority needed to override a presidential veto.\nSaudi Arabia has criticized the bill and threatened to sell off $750 billion in U.S. assets if it passes. Riyadh is able, in theory, to deal a heavy blow to the U.S. economy if it sells off a substantial number of its U.S. assets all at once. However, the country will also hurt itself by this move.\nTags:saudi arabia, usa",

        "raw_content": "2016 SPIKES Personalities of the Year () \u00a9 Copyright\nLook beyond the medal podium and you'll find people whose roles as ambassadors for the sport of track and field are just as important. These are the 2016 SPIKES Personalities of the Year.\nWith just the final kilometres remaining of the Olympic men\u2019s 50km Race Walk final at Rio 2016, Evan Dunfee was passed by Hirooki Arai. There was a slight tangle, and while Dunfee lost his rhythm, Arai edged away to take bronze.\nA successful appeal by the Canadian team was countered by a successful appeal from Japanese team. Very messy, and not how anyone wants matters settled after nearly four hours of racing.\nDunfee drew a line under the affair with one of the classiest interjections of the Games.\n\u201cI will never allow myself to be defined by the accolades I receive, rather the integrity I carry through life,\u201d he said in a statement, choosing not to lodge a counter appeal the counter appeal.\nSuch magnanimity represents the best of the noble pursuit of race walking.\nThink you can walk? In November, Dunfee ran to the win in the Fall-Classic Half Marathon in Vancouver, clocking 1:10:44.\nFew people worldwide run a marathon, even fewer get to travel space. In April, Major Tim Peake combined the two and caught the imagination of Earthlings everywhere.\nDuring a six-month stint on the International Space Station, the Briton ran the London Marathon in real time, strapped into an intergalactic treadmill while his progress was tracked on the Run Social app.\n\u201cIt\u2019s really good for communicating to kids the importance of staying fit and healthy,\u201d Peake told us ahead of the run.\nHe completed the 26.2 mile course in 3:35:21, completing two full orbits of the earth in the process, and writing his name in the record books as the first man and fastest person in history to run a marathon in space. Which is pretty cool.\nAfter a running career that included iconic marathon wins across the globe including a world record in Berlin, you could forgive Tegla Loroupe for taking post-athletics life easy. She has done the opposite, campaigning tirelessly through the Tegla Loroupe Peace Foundation to promote the unifying powers of sport.\nHer most high-profile project came when she headed up the Olympic Refugee Team for Rio 2016. Loroupe\u2019s stated aim was to raise the profile of refugees as humans, and to promote peace and unity through sport. The refugee team captured the imagination of millions and was cheered on from everywhere around the world.\nLoroupe herself described her role merely as \u201cthe mother of those who need a mother\u201d, and reminded us that it\u2019s not just her, but \u201call of our project to create peace and to build bridges through sport\u201d.\nMother really does know best.\nPiotr Malachowski is a big man with a big heart to match his big throws.\nNot long after the reigning world champ won his second Olympic discus silver at Rio 2016, news emerged that the Polish hero would be auctioning off his medal for charity. He donated the funds to Olek Szymanski, the three-year-old son of family friends, to have treatment for a rare form of cancer at a specialist unit in New York.\n\u201cTogether we can make miracles,\u201d Malachowski said. \u201cMy silver medal today is worth much more than a week ago \u2013 it is worth the health of little Olek.\u201d\nAfter finishing fourth in the 1500m at the US Olympic Trials in 2012, therefore missing a spot on the US team by a single place, Gabriele Grunewald had targeted the 5000m as her best chance of qualifying for Rio 2016. Yet after not making it out of her semi, she determinedly entered the 1500m a couple of hours later. She advanced to the final and finished 12th, but something didn\u2019t quite feel right.\nIt was only a month later that the athlete discovered she had a six-inch cancerous tumour growing in her liver. It was her third cancer diagnosis \u2013 she suffered a bout of adenoid cystic carcinoma in 2009 and then thyroid cancer in 2010.\nHaving already bounced back twice and following successful surgery, Grunewald is already back running. The 30-year-old told Runner\u2019s World: \u201cI\u2019m definitely on board for 2017 and optimistic about sticking around through 2020.\u201d\n\u201cPro Runner, Essayist, Actress and Filmmaker\u201d reads the Twitter bio of Alexi Pappas, who has inspired a generation with her actions on and off the track.\nAt Rio 2016, she became the first woman to represent Greece in an Olympic 10,000m race, finishing 17th in 31:36.16 to break a national record that had stood for a decade.\nShe also released TrackTown, a film she directed and starred in, to sell-out screenings across the USA, has become a regular correspondent for the New York Times, and appeared on the anniversary cover of Runners\u2019 World alongside pint-sized comic megastar Kevin Hart.\nHead to her social media pages if you doubt the strength of her following. \u201cWhatever I am to these girls, I\u2019m happy to be,\u201d says Pappas of her influence.\nIn our eyes: a fantastic representative for the sport of athletics.\nMajd Eddin Ghazal\nBack in 2012, Syrian high jumper Majd Eddin Ghazal\u2019s preparations for the London Olympics were disrupted when a bomb exploded at his training base in Damascus.\nIn preparation for Rio 2016, he trained at a Damascus stadium that boasted only \u201can old landing area, several hurdles and one weight\u201d. Despite that, he was one of the best high jumpers in the world in 2016.\nHe won silver with a national record 2.28m at the Asian Indoor Championships, and then notched an outdoor NR 2.36m to win the IAAF Beijing World Challenge event. He finished seventh in the final at Rio 2016 and ended the season ranked sixth in the world.\nAged 29, and in the face of unthinkable adversity, Ghazal has enjoyed his finest ever season. \u201cI believe that this is just the start,\u201d he said in August. \u201cI believe I can fly.\u201d\nAt the age of 85, Ed Whitlock became the oldest man in history to break four hours for the marathon, running 3:56:38 at the 2016 Toronto Waterfront Marathon.\nIt was just another notch on the bedpost for the Canadian, a serial record breaker. He is the oldest man to break three hours for the marathon (did it aged 74) and owns age-group world records from 1500m up to the marathon.\nWe salute you, Ed Whitlock, the true elder statesman of recreational road running.\nNikki Hamblin and Abbey D\u2019Agostino\nThe Crown Prince of Greece opened the meeting of the Committee for the First International Olympic Games with a speech. In it, he set out his hope for how the modern Olympic Games would \u201ctighten, through frequent intercourse, the bonds of friendship which ought to unite all civilised nations\u201d. More than 120 years on, two athletes did HRH proud.\nNew Zealand\u2019s Nikki Hamblin and USA\u2019s Abbey D\u2019Agostino accidently tangled with each other in the 5000m heats at Rio 2016.

Sports Afield Trophy Properties brokers Kevin Sullivan of Kevin Sullivan Realty and Jim Redd of Four Star Realty, also known as The Ranch Specialists, share the listing with Bill McDavid of Hall and Hall.\nLone Pine Ranch, located in Trinity and Mendocino counties about six hours north of San Francisco, is currently owned by thirteen of Witter\u2019s descendants. The property has been in the family for seventy-six years, ever since Witter and his wife, Helen, purchased three separate adjoining ranches in 1942 to create Lone Pine. It was both a working ranch and a personal retreat for the couple.\nBrooks Witter, a great-grandson of Dean Witter, told the Wall Street Journal, \u201cIt\u2019s been a place where a lot of Witters have grown up in ways that we would not have, had we not had the experience of these trips to the ranch.\u201d\nThe ranch features a 5,300-square-foot main house with ten bedrooms and five bathrooms. There are four additional houses and two bunkhouses as well as barns, sheds, and corrals. It is a working cattle ranch with 800 cow/calf pairs for sale separately, and the ranch has timber and encompasses more than sixteen miles of the Eel River. Elk, black-tailed deer, wild pigs, bears, and quail frequent the property.\nA smaller property, the Witters\u2019 3,019-acre White Ranch, is also for sale for $4.95 million. Kevin Sullivan and Jim Redd share the listing for this property, which is located across Kekawaka Creek from Lone Pine.\nFor more information about Lone Pine Ranch and other Trophy Properties from The Ranch Specialists, visit sportsafieldtrophyproperties.com.",

        "raw_content": "Another New Student! (KIKOKUSHIJO=?)\nYou are here: Home / Blog / Another New Student! (KIKOKUSHIJO=?)\nExcellent! The 6 year old student who I gave the trial to last week will begin studying with me as a private student this week! If you look back at the link to read about my trial with this young girl and her parents you can understand her situation. She had studied at Canadian schools for the past 2 years and her parents did not want her to lose the English ability that she had acquired during their time in Vancouver. They want her to also have some writing practice to go along with conversation and reading skills that she already has.\nI am looking forward to the challenge of helping this student to maintain and improve her English ability as she acquires a strong ability to use Japanese. You see she is what is called KIKOKUSHIJO or a repatriated student here in Japan. There are hundreds if not thousands of such students who return with their families after living abroad each year. They have achieved a level of English that is far ahead of their peers in the schools that they return to and often find that English education in the junior and senior high schools in Japan does not meet their needs. In fact the purpose of English education in Japan is mainly geared toward acquiring skills needed to pass entrance exams for Japanese universities. They work a lot on translation and grammar. To be sure it what is learned is pretty good as it serves as a good base for our students when they start to seriously try to acquire conversational skills. It allows us to really be coaches of communicative confidence as opposed to having to really teach our students from the very first steps. Unfortunately, the way that English is taught in Japan, I believe, has some very negative effects on some students. Many seem to come out of high school with a permanent fear of speaking English. They are afraid to speak because they fear making mistakes or pronouncing words incorrectly. Their fears are very real and well founded as pronunciation is rarely taught correctly to the students and since they receive bad grades when they make mistakes with the grammar in their tests at junior and senior high school, they seem to expect to be chastised when they make a mistake while speaking. This fear, which for some Japanese students turns into a hatred of English, is one of the main obstacles they have to taking the first step toward learning English conversation. Generally, if they can get past this and take the step by joining a school, they will find out that they can speak English and if they make a mistake, they will not be scolded and in most cases will be understood just fine. They have to realize the true purpose of learning English is for communication and not for taking tests. If there is one sentence I would like to hear English teachers emphasize in the English classes at the junior and senior high school level in Japan, it is \u201cLearn English for Communication with other People! Never forget that this is why you are learning English.\u201d If they start with that premise and they actually get a chance to experience this true purpose of learning English when they are young students, most high school graduates will be able to speak and not feel ashamed to do so when they finish the required 6 years of English study.\nWell that is enough lecturing. Back to my the main point of my post. What is most exciting about this chance to teach a young repatriated student it my chance to compare her skills and how she reads and pronounces new words to the efforts of my other young students. I am hoping that it will give me some good hints about how to better teach my other kids.\nOf course I already use the Phonics books and start by trying to get my Japanese students to stop using a \u201cROMAJI\u201d or Japanese phonetic alphabet type of pronunciation to pronounce English words. They learn to pronounce the letters one by one and then as combinations. It takes some time but I am sure that it works.\nFor my new student, I am looking forward to the challenge of helping her to expand all of her skills to read, write and speak. It is really exciting. Think of it, I will have a chance, hopefully to see her grow up using both English and Japanese and to watch her become a true bilingual. I will be able to help her develop her skills and confidence and to be able to express her opinions about many topics as she gets older. I cannot think of anything more fun!",

        "raw_content": "The Small Farm Advantage: Quality vs. Quantity\nYou are here: Home / Blog / The Small Farm Advantage: Quality vs. Quantity\nHello from Chris in Otsu again!\nThank you for all the nice comments about my previous post about farming in Japan. Further to that, one interesting thing I have noticed while farming over here, when I talk to other farmers and tell them I am American they all tell me how much they envy American farming, with its big tractors and large plots of land!\nYet in my eyes it is the small manageable size of plots of land here in Japan that makes farming accessible to common people. Even many of these same jealous farmers then go on to tell me how they can\u2019t make any money from their farms because all the profits go to maintain their machines. Still more friends who would be interested in farming say they can\u2019t do it because they can\u2019t afford the equipment, all while more and more farm land in Japan goes unused.\nMeanwhile my family farms our land with nothing more than a shovel, hoe and scythe which all combined cost well under ten thousand yen. Granted planting rice takes a lot more time to do when its done by hand, but done in the company of good friends, it turns into a\nfun social event which can be enjoyed by large groups of people regardless of their age! Even if we did have to do it ourselves it would only require a few days time, which is much more affordable than the millions of yen it would cost to purchase the required machines.\nAnother key factor that enables us to do it by ourselves is using a no till method of farming. That means that we don\u2019t turn over the soil every year or between crops in one season. We let the worms do all the digging and just lay anything we want to add to the soil on the top. Not only does this save us a lot of back breaking work, but it is good for the soil as well, and your yields will improve the longer you do it.\nSo if anyone out there is interested in farming but can\u2019t figure out how to pay for it or thinks it will be too much work, don\u2019t worry! Depending on the method you can make enough food to provide for your family with only a small plot of land, a few cheap tools and a little bit of work on the weekends! More importantly you can enjoy some wonderful time outdoors with your family and friends!\nI am able to be a rice farmer Japan in large part because of Smith\u2019s School of English, which allows me to work on a very flexible schedule. No other company offers such year-round flexibility, weekly and daily flexibility and the ability to take time off during the harvesting season. Want to hear more about my rice farm? Check out my previous post, The Annual Rice Harvest in Shiga.\nChris, Smith\u2019s School of English Otsu",

        "raw_content": "Review of \u201cUpgrade\u201d\nIn the near future technology has expanded to more facets of our lives: Police drones patrol the skies keeping an electronic eye out for trouble, driverless cars are becoming more the norm and people are beginning to improve themselves with technological upgrades. One person bucking the trend is Grey Trace (Logan Marshall-Green). He works on classic cars from the 1970\u2019s and 1980\u2019s and restores them to perfect condition. Grey is married to Asha (Melanie Vallejo) who works for a biotech firm making mechanical arms and legs for military veterans that have lost limbs in battle. Grey has restored a Firebird for eccentric billionaire Eron Keen (Harrison Gilbertson) and he takes Asha along to drop off the car at Keen\u2019s house. While there, Keen shows Grey and Asha a new project he\u2019s working on called Stem which Keen describes as a microcomputer that is meant to improve whatever it connects to. As they are riding home in Asha\u2019s self-driving car it malfunctions and crashes in a bad part of town. Another car pulls up and four men get out and pull Asha and Grey from the car. One man shoots Asha while another shoots Grey at the base of his neck. Asha dies and Grey is paralyzed from the neck down. Grey doesn\u2019t want to live and tries to overdose on his meds. While recovering in the hospital Grey is visited by Keen who makes him an offer: Grey can regain the use of his limbs by having Stem implanted at the point of his injury. Keen demands Grey tell no one of his implant and the operation must be done by surgeons at Keen\u2019s home. Grey agrees and in just a matter of days Grey is running on a treadmill with complete use of his extremities. After returning home Grey hears a voice in his head: It\u2019s Stem. The microcomputer can communicate with Grey and him with Stem. Stem sees something in the police drone surveillance footage of the attack on Asha and Grey and identifies one of their attackers. Grey has spoken with Detective Cortez (Betty Gabriel) and knows she has no leads in the case and Stem reminds him he has agreed to keep the implant a secret so Grey decides to investigate this person and soon discovers Stem can do much more than just give him use of his limbs.\nWhile \u201cUpgrade\u201d will neither be praised for its subtlety nor for its thoughtful approach to graphic violence in movies, director and writer Leigh Whannell has given us an exciting and action-packed B-movie that may have more of a message than most films of this type get credit for. It may just be the smartest dumb movie considering what it means to be human in a flood of technology.\nWhannell is best known for writing numerous recent horror films including the first three \u201cSaw\u201d films and all four of the \u201cInsidious\u201d series. This is his second time in the director\u2019s chair after \u201cInsidious: Chapter 3\u201d and this is a superior effort. \u201cUpgrade\u201d manages to tell its story clearly and succinctly while still including a large amount of graphic and bloody violence. It\u2019s a perfect mixture of brains and brawn that doesn\u2019t pander to the audience. Whannell has a long history of giving audiences what they want via his scripts: Morally vague antagonists, laser-focused villains and a fair amount of gore. In his films that are rated PG-13 he can\u2019t go full on blood bath so he has to give his story a bit more attention. In \u201cUpgrade\u201d Whannell lays on the gore with a measured hand while also conjuring up a murder mystery and a look at a future filled with tech invading all aspects of our lives. If Whannell was a juggler he\u2019d have about a dozen balls in the air but he never drops any of them. It\u2019s a masterful job.\nLogan Marshall-Green also deserves some praise for his performance as Grey. There is a scene where Grey\u2019s mother is trimming his beard after he comes home from the hospital following the shooting. Marshall-Green\u2019s face goes through all the stages of grief right before our eyes in a matter of seconds and it\u2019s deeply affecting. Marshall \u2013Green also can handle the lighter moments of the story with the biting sense of humor someone in his unenviable position would likely express. Along with the stunt and special effect team, Marshall-Green also performs the action scenes in a way that couldn\u2019t have been easy: Moving his body like someone else was in control and he was merely an observer. There are some laughs in the action scenes when Grey appears horrified at what his body is doing during the fights. It is a great performance.\nThe story of \u201cUpgrade\u201d appears to be a simple revenge tale with sci-fi decorations but I thought it was a bit deeper than that. Writer and director Leigh Whannell jumps into a plausible future where technology is being integrated into the human body providing upgrades for those that can afford it. This has many benefits but, like with everything else, it can be used for good and for evil. The morality and ethics of merging flesh and electronics isn\u2019t delved into at all in the film; but what is explored is how such augmentation blurs the line between humans and machines. That line becomes hazier when there\u2019s a chance the machines can begin thinking for themselves which leads to the question of who is in charge: The man or the machine? While these philosophical questions are left largely unexplored they did crop up in my mind by the time the film reached its somewhat surprising conclusion. It\u2019s odd that any movie leads to questions that ring in the brain when the credits roll but \u201cUpgrade\u201d did just that for me.\n\u201cUpgrade\u201d is rated R for grisly images, strong violence and language. There are numerous bloody deaths and injuries shown in the film. They include a person nearly having their head cut in half by a knife, a person\u2019s head being blown off by a gunshot, a person being stabbed in the hand with the knife shown protruding through the other side, a person being stabbed in the head, a person being cut several times as a form of torture and much more. Foul language is common but not overwhelming.\n\u201cUpgrade\u201d is from Blumhouse, the same studio responsible for \u201cGet Out,\u201d \u201cThe Purge,\u201d \u201cParanormal Activity\u201d and \u201cWhiplash.\u201d They are famous for churning out low-budget movies quickly, establishing popular horror/suspense franchises and being extremely profitable. Their success has attracted more and more talent to their projects including director M. Night Shyamalan who found new life with his Blumhouse projects \u201cThe Visit\u201d and \u201cSplit,\u201d and Spike Lee whose \u201cBlacKkKlansman\u201d due out later this year generated a great deal of buzz at this year\u2019s Cannes Film Festival. So far, none of the films produced by Blumhouse have cost more than $10-million and many have generated enormous profits. It is a business model that allows directors creative freedom as long as they keep costs low.

        "raw_content": "Legumes: A comprehensive processing overview \u2013 Part 1\nThey take the second place in most important crops worldwide, about 12% - 15% of arable land is used to cultivate them, and they\u2019ve been vital to the human diet for almost 10.000 years. If that was not enough to identify what I mean, I am talking about legumes.\nLegumes have exceptional nutritional qualities. The legume seeds, which are also called pulses, are especially loaded with nutrients. In table 1 the nutritional information of common legumes is shown. The legumes also contain a variety of minerals, e.g. calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, and zinc. Additionally, they contain essential amino acids such as lysine, leucine, and arginine. Essential means that the body is not able to make it on its own, and therefore it is \u2018essential\u2019 to get it through your food.\nCarbohydrates 30%-40%\nDietary Fiber 8% - 27.5%\nFat <5% - 47%\nProtein 17% - 40%\nTable 1: Nutritional information of legumes.\nBecause of their nutritional value legume seeds are highly sought after as raw materials for food production and as ingredients for the enrichment of other foods such as bread, tortillas, and yogurt.\nLegume foods can be subdivided into four varieties.\nThis is the most common variety of legumes. Examples are adzuke beans, anasazi beans, black beans, chickpeas, fava beans, kidney beans, lima beans, and soybeans. The bean variety is characterized by a high protein and carbohydrate content, but a lower fat content. There is a lot of variety in flavors and textures that make the beans usable in many types of dishes.\nSome nuts are the actual tree nuts, composed of a seed, dry fruit, and hard outer shell. The legume nuts are edible seeds from legume pods. Examples are peanuts, carob nuts, and soy nuts. These contain high amounts of fat, protein, and carbohydrate. If you wish to lower your fat or sodium intake you can buy the dry-roasted and unsalted versions as compared to salty nuts.\nAnother variety of legumes are the peas. The most well-known is probably the green pea. Other examples would be black-eyed peas, snow peas, snap peas, and split peas. Their nutritional quality is similar to the beans. Compared to the beans the peas tend to have a more naturally sweet flavor.\nThe variety that changes from the spherical shape that beans, nuts, and peas have. The lentils are flatter and round in shape. A wide variety in color is found for the lentils. While the nutritional value doesn\u2019t change much with color, it does change depending on whether the lentils are sprouted or not. Non-sprouted lentils are much denser and therefore contain more nutrients per unit volume. Either way, you\u2019ll find most lentils back in delicious Indian dal curries. Dal is the term for lentils on the Indian subcontinent.\nAntinutritional factors\nWith all these great properties one would expect legumes to be used all over the place right? Unfortunately, legumes contain a significant amount of antinutritional factors (ANFs) as well. These compounds are harmful to our well-being.\nANFs are naturally occurring secondary metabolites that protect the plant against some biological stresses such as pest attacks. \u2013 Avil\u00e9s-Gaxiola et al.)\nSome examples of these compounds are tannins, phytic acid, flatulence-causing oligosaccharides, and trypsin inhibitors. To keep this post a bit more concise we\u2019ll focus the trypsin inhibitors, which is the worst offender of the bunch. Trypsin inhibitors reduce the uptake efficiency of dietary protein by inactivating the enzymes trypsin and chymotrypsin. These two enzymes are key in the digestive process inside the intestines. Without trypsin and chymotrypsin, the proteins aren\u2019t properly broken down, which decreases protein absorption because it is only semi-digested. This also means we wouldn\u2019t get those essential amino acids we so desperately need.\nNaturally, the industry has found ways to inactivate ANFs like trypsin inhibitor. The most used method is a thermal treatment. While it is an effective method for reducing ANFs it is also effective in degrading the nutritional quality of the food. Thermal treatments have a negative impact on the environment and harm the nutritious compounds in the food. Below we\u2019ll discuss the effect of thermal inactivation techniques for the inactivation of trypsin inhibitor and other ANFs, additionally, we\u2019ll discuss alternative inactivation techniques that could provide a better solution.\nA variety of thermal processes are available. Common thermal processes are autoclaving, boiling, cooking, microwaving, and roasting. Besides being effective at decreasing the ANFs is it also a treatment that can be done at home with an oven. It is therefore accessible for industry and personal use. ANFs like trypsin inhibitors (TIs) are inactivated due to the breaking of intermolecular bonds, which destroys the tertiary structure of the TIs. One of the issues related to ANF inactivation with thermal treatments is that some TIs are more sensitive to heat than others. Those that easily degrade under influence of heat, i.e. thermolabile TIs, are affected while other types of TIs are not. This difference is found in studies on different types of legumes. Study on the inactivation of soybean TIs shows that a thermal treatment (boiling for 9 min, roasting for 2 min, cooking for 7-30 min, microwaving for 3 min, or autoclaving at 121 \u00b0C for 15 min) effectively eliminates most of the TIs present. Chickpeas, on the other hand, needed 90 min of boiling (that\u2019s 81 more minutes!) to reach similar TI inactivation. It appears chickpeas contain TIs that are thermally resistant. Using thermal treatment for chickpeas causes excessive nutrient loss, with up to 96% of vitamins destroyed.\nThermal treatments can be effective depending on the type of legume. Still, there will be a negative impact on nutritional quality or functional properties, e.g. solubility, of the legume.\nFor your reading comfort, I have decided to separate this post into three parts; to keep the length in check. This was part 1 out of 3, in the next two days part 2 and 3 will be posted. Part 2 will continue with the physical treatment processes. Part 3 will discuss chemical and biotechnological processes.\nInactivation Methods of Trypsin Inhibitor in Legumes: A Review\nList of Legume Foods\nPlant-based diet: Nuts, seeds, and legumes can help you get there\nWhat are Trypsin & Chymotrypsin?\nStudy of Instant Controlled Pressure Drop DIC Treatment in Manufacturing Snack and Expanded Granule Powder of Apple and Onion\nThe Dancing Spider\n+ misterakpan",

        "raw_content": "Aragorn and Arwen Plight Their Troth in Lothl\u00f3rien.\nDid Galadriel know the effect that she was creating when she bade Aragorn cast aside his travel worn garments and arrayed him \u201cin silver and white, with a cloak of elven-grey and bright gem on his brow\u201d? I think that she did. Like Elrond she knows that the crisis to which their long lives has always pointed is upon them but unlike him she has been able to say her yes to it. One last great test awaits her when the Ring comes to Lothl\u00f3rien but she will pass the test, remain Galadriel, diminish, and pass into the West. Elrond is not tempted to take the Ring. His temptation is to hold onto his daughter and take her with him into the West.\nSo, whether he has been arrayed as an Elf-lord from the Isles of the West by design or otherwise Arwen meets Aragorn once again after long years of parting and \u201cher choice was made\u201d. She gives her heart to him and upon the fair hill of Cerin Amroth in the heart of Lothl\u00f3rien they plight their troth.\nTolkien tells us that they \u201cwere glad\u201d when they did so and yet even at the moment of gladness they glimpse the reality of the choice that they are making. To the East there lies the Shadow and the choice that Sauron has made. For him the end of all things is darkness and before that the desire for power over everything. Aragorn declares that \u201cthe Shadow I utterly reject\u201d and Arwen makes the rejection with him. They will never submit to the Dark Lord.\nBut they say no to something else too and that is the Twilight. It is the Twilight, the memory of light, and especially of the light of the setting sun. The aching beauty of Twilight carries with it a remembering of that which is already being lost. We gaze westward to the setting sun as its light transforms all upon which it falls and even as it catches at our hearts we know that soon it will be dark. On the eve of Midsummer, the time when Aragorn and Arwen pledged themselves to one another, and the day upon which they married, the twilight in the north will last almost throughout the night hours and yet even in its gentle beauty it is not the day. Arwen makes her choice and it is the man who stands before her that is her choice and in so doing she chooses the glory of the sun standing high in the sky dispelling the darkness of the night forever.\nIt is a glorious choice. \u201cI will cleave to you, D\u00fanadan\u201d she tells him and yet she must make her farewell also. She turns from the Twilight. And she turns from her people and, hardest of all, she turns from her father. And \u201cshe loved her father dearly.\u201d\nElrond knows that one day she will taste the full bitterness of her choice even as he does. So why does she choose her man of the noonday sun, the King of Gondor and of Arnor, healer of the wastelands, the Lord Elessar? Of course she is captured by the wonder of him and yet she also says her yes to his hope that more lies beyond the circles of the world than memory.\nArwen\u2019s faith is the man that she has chosen, and his rejection of the Shadow. It is also her decision not to choose the Twilight. Like most of us it is not the subtlety of a philosophical system that grasps her but a relationship, a choosing of one way, one road, and in her case, of one man.\nNext week we will end these reflections upon the love of Aragorn and Arwen with the bitterness that she must taste at the end. We cannot escape that, even as Elrond foretold, but, just as Arwen chose, we say our yes to gladness and the hope that our gladness and happiness are not in vain. It will be a good meditation for Easter.\nA life too big for us, Dark Journeys, How to receive good gifts, Pilgrimage, Spiritual Struggle, The true lover, Wonderful Journeys\nCerin Amroth, Elrond, Falling in Love, Galadriel, J.R.R Tolkien, Lothl\u00f3rien, The King of Gondor and Arnor, The Lord of the Rings, The love of Aragorn and Arwen, The Shadow, The Twilight\n\u2190 Aragorn and the Lonely Years\nWe Are Not Bound For Ever to the Circles of the World, and Beyond Them There is More Than Memory. The Death of Aragorn and Arwen. \u2192\n8 thoughts on \u201cAragorn and Arwen Plight Their Troth in Lothl\u00f3rien.\u201d\nGaladriel could of course see in her mirror many things that might be, and her desire was \u2018that would should be shall be\u2019. So, yes, I think it\u2019s quite possible she foresaw what might happen between Aragorn and Arwen. (It also allows us, on a lighter note, to see Galadriel playing a stereotypical grandmotherly role, but never mind that).\nIt is also interesting to recall that another scene between an elf and a mortal which stresses the importance of choice. Near the end of Frodo and Galadriel\u2019s conversation in \u201cThe Mirror of Galadriel\u201d, after she has rejected his offer of the Ring, she says \u201cNow we have, and the tides of fate are flowing.\u201d But Frodo now forestalls her and asks her one more question, about using the Ring himself. It\u2019s a telling and a perilous moment for him when we see it in the context of his words \u201cI do not now choose to do what I came to do.\u201d\nI think we can also see in Arwen\u2019s choice to renew the Choice of Luthien a possibility that more may await the Elves in the end than sharing in the death of Arda at the end of time. I hope you won\u2019t mind, Stephen, if I add in a link to something I wrote on this, which you might find of interest: https://alasnotme.blogspot.com/2017/03/she-died-choice-of-luthien-and-destiny.html\nThank you, as always, for your thoughts, Stephen\nTom, Thank you so much for this comment, profoundly enriched by your generous gift of the link to the reflection in your own blog.\nI think that, of course, Galadriel\u2019s foresight and insight may well be associated with her mirror but I would rather put it down to a grandmother and mother with millenia of practice looking into the hearts of two young people. And we have insight into this ability in the scene in which she welcomes the Fellowship and looks long and searchingly into each of them.\nYour thoughts on choosing I find very helpful indeed and their connection to other choosings in the story. I am sure that are right in saying that Frodo is already thinking about what it mean to use the Ring. How can we blame him when Galadriel is tempted too?\nFinally I agree entirely with all you say in your own blogpost. I have long hoped that the Elves will share in the redemption of all things. And surely the choice of L\u00fathien and of Arwen Und\u00f3miel must play a part in that? And my hope is more personal than just a desire for a happy ending to a story that I love. My own longing for Life includes a longing for Faerie that our ancestors knew and often feared. When I walk in the woods in the morning I long for the trees to awaken just as they do when Lucy Pevensie walks among them in Prince Caspian.\nUsing the word \u201cbitterness\u201d to describe accepting the Gift of Men reveals that JRRT is giving us this story from Elrond\u2019s point of view. From Arwen\u2019s perspective, she can do something to make the world better, which no Elf has had an opportunity to do in ages. Maybe her mission civilisatrice had an effect \u2014 who knows?\nYour phrase at the end, Who knows? is so eloquent. The whole civilisation of which we are both a part belongs to that question and any answer to it. Tolkien\u2019s legendarium is a call to re-examine the civilisation that Arwen and Aragorn created, one that I think Faramir bears witness to in his discourse at Henneth Annun.\nemynwen\nI always enjoy reading your insights into Lord of the rings. There is little to go on when it comes to Arwen. I think of her choice more than choosing a husband or choosing the \u201csun\u201d. Arwen is the Evenstar of her people. And in pledging herself to Aragorn she pledges herself to men as their Evenstar as Frodo says in the last pages of The Steward and the King, \u201cNow not day only shall be beloved, but night too shall be beautiful and blessed and all it\u2019s fear passed away!\u201d Here Arwen is giving herself in sacrifice to the people of the world.\nI do not have your gift for words but it seems Aragorn could not do this alone. That the symbolism of mankind,day and night is repeated here as the sun and moon was created when men awakened in Middle-earth.\nThank you so much for taking the trouble to write these thoughts. The story of Arwen is in many ways a hidden one. We do have very little to go on. I agree entirely with you that Arwen makes a sacrifice for my sake of humanity. She also chooses her own happiness. How often that tension exists in the choices that we make. I think that the old wedding service expressed that very well. Forsaking all others cleave only unto him/her. I say my yes to one person but there is so much to which I have to say my no.\nYes! This is what I have thought before myself \u2013 why remain in twilight, in the dying light, when you can stand in the bright day, if only for a little while. It\u2019s a much better choice.\nOn another note, I don\u2019t know if this is released internationally yet or not, I assume it will be, but Palm Sunday I saw Paul, Apostle of Christ \u2013 great movie, great acting, great story/screenplay, great soundtrack. You will love it and I hope you get to see it. Here\u2019s the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=7DFGmw5oe0E\nHappy Easter! Christ is risen! He is truly risen!\nYou put that so well, Anne Marie. Yes to the day and no to lingering twilight. I don\u2019t know if you read Tom Hillman\u2019s wonderful comment on this post in which he asks if Arwen, by her choice, opens the door for her people to the glory beyond the circles of the world that is more than memory? I like to think that he is right.\nAnd many thanks for sending me the link to the trailer about St Paul. I look forward to seeing the film. I am pondering his great words about the resurrection and the challenge to us, \u201cSee yourselves, therefore, as dead to sin and alive to God in Jesus Christ our Lord.\u201d\nA blessed Easter to you and yours!",

        "raw_content": "A co-owner of a debt is someone who owns part of the money that a person is owed. For example, two people who share a joint bank account are co-owners of the debt.\nTitle: co-sign\nTo co-sign is to sign a legal agreement together with another person for a loan or other debt. When you do this you are jointly responsible for paying the debt. For example, if you co-sign a lease, you are responsible for paying all of the rent, even if the other person doesn\u2019t pay their part.\nTitle: code of ethics\nA code of ethics is a set of rules that say what members of an organization or profession can do, and how they are supposed to behave and run their business. For example, a non-profit credit counsellor will protect a client\u2019s privacy and not share information about a client without getting permission.\nTitle: cohabitation agreement\nA cohabitation agreement, sometimes called a domestic contract, is a written contract that non-married partners can make that says how they will deal with their issues while they are living together, after they stop living together, or if one of them dies. They can make this kind of contract before living together, or while living together. For example, a cohabitation agreement can say how much spousal support one partner will pay the other if they separate. It cannot say who will have custody or access to any children.\nTitle: collaborative family law\nCollaborative family law is an alternative dispute resolution process where you and your partner try to solve your issues without going to court. Collaborative family lawyers have special training and agree in writing not to go to court. You and your partner each have your own collaborative family lawyer. They work together with you and your partner to help you agree on your issues. Usually, this happens after many meetings.\nIf you or your partner cannot agree and later decide to go to court, you cannot use your collaborative family lawyers as your lawyers in court.\nTitle: collateral\nCollateral is an asset of yours that you use as security for a loan. This means that if you do not pay back the money you borrowed, your creditor can take the collateral as payment instead. For example, a house can be collateral for a mortgage, and a car can be collateral for a car loan.\nTitle: collection agency\nA collection agency is a business that tries to collect unpaid debts for creditors. If you aren\u2019t paying back money that you owe, the person or business you owe the money to may hire a collection agency to try to get you to pay the money back.\nTitle: collective agreement\nWhen a workplace includes workers who belong to a union, a collective agreement sets out conditions of employment, such as wages, hours of work, and overtime pay. The collective agreement includes the process that workers need to use if the employer does not follow the agreement.\nTitle: collective bargaining\nCollective bargaining is the process that unionized workers and employers go through to set the conditions of employment, such as wages, hours of work, and overtime pay.\nTitle: commissioned\nCriminal Law, Family Law\nWhen a document is \"commissioned\", it is signed in front of a commissioner of oaths. A commissioner of oaths has the power to certify a document that presents what someone says is true, such as an affidavit.",

        "title": "COW Design | The Strategic Value of Design",
        "raw_content": "By omarlink1990 / June 18, 2011 / Uncategorized / Leave a comment\nCreating opportunities with design\nPOSITIONING TOOL CASE\nCOW Design is a design consultancy for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). We embed design as a core capability of a company. The tool of COW Design is created in such a way that it fits to the specific core capabilities of different clients, allowing it to create opportunities through design.\n2. Reason for SME\u2019s including startups\nSmall and medium-sized firms have limited resources, but can be innovation leaders in their industry. Some examples in the industry leaders are Alessi, Artemide, Kartell, Flos, and B&B Italia (Verganti, 2007). Since they have a limited budget, they look for networks that have low access costs to help them by adding meaning to things. We want to offer such future innovation leaders an accessible collaboration with COW Design. There are various types of SMEs. More experienced SMEs are driven by profitability and stable long-term value. Younger SMEs, such as startups, are focused on top-end revenue and growth potential. Both parties are interesting choices where COW Design can offer a partnership for the future. This results in a win-win situation: they have innovation problems, and we as COW Design can help them by solving those issues.\n3. Problems of SMEs\nMarket problems: Frequently missing points of SMEs are undefined value propositions or actions, such as those to convince the buyer to purchase a product.Targeting the right market can also become a pitfall. It often occurs that your selected market is not ready for your particular solution. Another mistake is the actual market size, which could not be large enough. Unprofitable business model: SMEs face cash scarcity and often lack a go-to-market strategy. Most entrepreneurs are optimistic, which is a positive attitude for starting a business. Unfortunately, such businesses often lack a business model for long-term steps. They usually do not realize that it takes more effort, time, and spending to acquire customers and gain a lifetime value. A plan including the steps needed to reach their future objectives is often not determined.\n4. The value of design\nDesigners can help firms to solve the problems they encountered. In this section it is explained why COW Design embeds design and what the added value is towards their clients. Various sections from Verganti (2009) are selected to elaborate in this part:\nThrough design a strong and unique personality can be attached to product, which will stand apart from the crowd of undifferentiated competing products.\nDesign contributes to the brand equity of a company. Product meanings and languages intimately determine users\u2019 experience, this results in a direct impact on a company\u2019s brand.\nA design-driven innovation enables a firm to include new archetypes of product meanings and languages. These can act as cultural standards, what people can use as a cue when buying a product in the same or a similar category.\nWhen a company involves a design-driven innovation it needs to incorporate specific knowledge of this topic. The firm will be the first to learn from this investment, and this knowledge will drive better results in the later development of incremental innovations.\nAn increase of a product life-cycle saves companies from break-even fever, generates significant profits, eliminates the need for investments in continuous substitutions, and allows firms to focus their R&D budgets on more-substantial innovations.\nMost firms are aware of the fact that they need to understand user needs. The do ethnographic analysis, and organize brainstorming sessions; and if they cannot accomplish that, they involve a design consultant. However, they do not know how to implement it. They lack of a starting point, and they have no capabilities when it comes to radical innovation of meanings, which requires them to step back from close observation of people\u2019s current needs. Therefore, design can add its value by integrating all these different aspects into one holistic product development plan.\nCOW Design is a strategic design consultancy and an innovation network for entrepreneurs who want to position themselves as market leaders in their sector through design and innovation.\nWe embed design and meaning. We do not stop after delivery.\nCOW Design collaborates with SMEs, including startups, in embedding design as part of their core capabilities to give them a competitive advantage in developing sound products and services that their customers want/love to use.\n1. COW Sprint\nThis sprint has a duration of one week. A basic process for new product development (NPD) is settled in five phases: company analysis, user understanding, idea development, concept validation and project implementation. These five phases are linked to five moments (the results after each phase) in NPD, where design can bring strategic value to a company. One week is quite limited to include more options to design a new product, service or strategy. Therefore, COW Design offers a summary of \u201cnot-for-nows\u201d for each phase to its clients.\nThe \u201cnot-for-nows\u201d\nCOW Design deals with various problems of SMEs, often they encounter difficulties in their branding, product, strategy or identity. The \u201cnot-for-nows\u201d include these directions as food for thought. This could trigger clients to extend the collaboration with COW Design and strengthen their company into the market. As mentioned in its positioning, COW Design does not stop after delivery. By integrating design in the core capabilities of the clients it will be interesting for them to choose to do the second step of the menu.\nDuring the initial step of the sprint the client received some basic steps from COW Design\u2019s tool. However, this was only a quick version of the actual tool. In step 2 the client will use the \u201cnot-for-nows\u201d to develop their concepts into concrete products, services, and strategies. The process of the five phases is an iterative process (Smulders et al, 2008) and functions as an on-going learning process (Kolb, 1984). COW Design will guide its client to elaborate on the \u201cnot-for-nows\u201d. The design consultancy will cover problems such as brand equity, positioning, strategy, and product, dependent on the available time (between 3 to 6 months).\nCOW Design will analyse the current situation of the SME and establish options for a future vision. Problems for this first step may occur in its identity, brand equity, positioning or product. Here, COW Design offers different directions to their clients. Eventually they will make a decision in these options. The rest will be summarized in the \u201cnot-for-nows\u201d.\nDuring this part a style will be defined. This is necessary for a selective focus of mental capacity on a particular object (Person et al, 2007). This can be done by attention drawing: the product or service styling has to capture and maintain the attention of customers before they can derive information from it (Schoormans and Robben, 1997). Defining a style can act as a cue to help consumers recognise and relate products and services to others, which belong to the same period, lifestyle segment, or brand (Kreuzbauer and Malter 2005; Pugliese and Cagan 2002; Underwood 2003). It is noted that people also attach meanings to a product by recognising it through its styling as belonging to a certain class of products (Person et al, 2007). Thus, new styles acquire their initial meaning in a personal setting, but influential individuals (or influential companies) can create cultural meaning for a new style.Therefore, it is important to stated a concrete style for a company. This can be communicated through their identity, positioning, brand activities or product.\nThe company analysis is part of the inspiration phase described by Brown (2005), in this phase you look at the problems in the business phases. Context is also something that is looked at, and the inspirations are used to come up with ideas for the next phase.\nUser understanding is part of the inspiration phase described in the article by Brown (2005). By looking at the user and taking a human-centered approach you can empathize with the user and this will give inspiration for new ideas in the next phase. Understanding the market and the customers is of great importance in order to develop successful products, this can be done by empathizing with customers.\nIn this step the ideation phase (Brown, 2005) will start, the inspiration will be formed into ideas.\nRequirements are set derived from the company analysis and the user understanding to validate the concept. The concept validation step belongs to the ideation step, where we conceptualize ideas and validate them by making prototypes and translate this back to our target market.\nProject implementation is the final step where we implement the innovation into the market. Brown (2005) describes this as the implementation phase in which the new vision of the company is executed.\nCOW Design embeds design as core capabilities of the client\u2019s firm. This is an iterative process, which creates opportunities to reinforce the creative industry and the business of our clients. A continuous collaboration with COW Design could therefore be of great value to those SMEs. Thus, COW Design offers a partnership, in which it invests in the selected firms in order to make them grow. This will result in an investment for both parties: the client will receive the design knowledge that suits their core capabilities, and COW Design will have a share of their profits.\nThis complete program of COW Design will be costly for the ones that recently started their own company. However, COW Design has an interest for startups as mentioned earlier. To establish a pool of clients and partners COW Design collaborates with DCE, Delft Centre of Entrepreneurs. The startups can participate in the sprint as well. After this collaboration it can be discussed with both parties if a partnership will be a sought opportunity.\nEventually COW Design wants to create its own platform for its partners. This gives access to firms to find other partners. An example is to connect talented design students with other entrepreneurs. COW Design selected these designers which will offer opportunities for their current clients and partners. This enables us to establish a client source for COW Design: it positions itself as a business incubator for entrepreneurial support.\n10. Vision & summary\nCOW Design reinforces the creative industry by embedding design in the core capabilities of its partners and clients. The tool is tailored to the specific core capabilities, allowing it to create opportunities through design. During a collaboration with COW Design, the objective is set to position our clients as market leaders who know how to use their core capabilities in design to gain competitive advantage. It also seeks to stimulate design students to cooperate with COW Design; an expert in design consultancy.\nCASE: Meet MILK\nFig: The failed product by MILK\nMILK is a startup that contacted COW Design through Delft Centre of Entrepreneurs (DCE). What they want to achieve is to make drinking milk \u201ccool\u201d for young adults from 20-25 years. Therefore, they want to distinguish milk from the traditional packaging and branding. What COW Design finds interesting is that MILK wants to position their drink differently than the traditional version. This case can create an opportunity for an innovative branding, re-positioning, product and identity.\nUnfortunately, everything about MILK\u2019s product does not fit with the objectives of the firm. From the company analysis, COW Design encounters some problems. Examples are:\nTheir target group does not understand the product;\nTheir positioning is radically different, people cannot relate it to the traditional drink;\nTheir branding does not fit with the product.\nCOW Design offers to help them in one of the four problems: positioning, branding, identity, or product. MILK decides to first focus on the product appearance for the sprint. The other aspects are for the \u201cnot-for-nows\u201d and will be used for the second step if MILK is interested. As mentioned before, their target group is: young adults between 20-25 years. To understand their needs, COW Design made a quick trend analysis with the following results:\nThis group seeks for authenticity;\nThey want to know the origin of the drink;\nThey are willing to pay more for honest and good drinks;\nThey want to have a feel-good moment;\nRefilling the bottle of the drink happens often.\nThese findings will help COW Design in the idea development. Together with their client MILK it is decided to focus on refilling the bottle, since this one will be more appealing to the end-users. The \u201cnot-for-nows\u201d are ideas that elaborate more on refilling a drink, such as refill places and potential selling points.\nTo validate the concept COW Design made sketches and showed these to the target group. Comments are used and implemented to optimize the concept. For the \u201cnot-for-nows\u201d a pilot with a model is an option.\nMILK will be responsible for the implementation part for this sprint. However, COW Design will deliver a model, such as a 3D print to help them in realizing the end product. The design consultancy also offers a summary of the \u201cnot-for-nows\u201d. If MILK is interested in applying these \u201cnot-for-nows\u201d they can choose for the second step COW Design offers, which is a collaboration of 3-6 months.\nMILK decided to do the second step as well. After a close collaboration with COW Design they have concrete concepts and prototypes. This was a positive experience for both parties and therefore, COW Design offers a partnership with MILK. The client receives a small investment from the design consultancy. When MILK receives their first profits, COW Design will receive a percentage as a repayment of the investments.\nFig: Finalized product in collaboration with COW\nKolb, D.A. (1984).

This article is based on the findings of the latest survey of beekeepers in Scotland, and two of our colleagues \u2014 Dr Alison Gray and Mr Magnus Peterson \u2014 are given their due credit for the work.\nThis survey is the latest instalment of a project that has been running since 2006 with the support of the Scottish Beekeepers\u2019 Association, and has built up a crucial set of data on the fate of the bee population. Further details are available on Dr Gray\u2019s web page. The fate of bees isn\u2019t of interest only to a few enthusiasts: because so many plants rely on bees as pollinators, a healthy bee population can be crucial to food security. And, as with so many other complex and important issues, getting hold of good quality data is a vital first step for those whose job is to understand and mitigate the problems.\nIt\u2019s good to be reminded that statisticians \u2014 and our colleagues in particular \u2014 are making yet another of their vital but often invisible contributions to society and to science\u2026\nUpdate: the full press release was reproduced by several media outlets, and can be found, for example, here.

        "raw_content": "Maya, a five-year-old Border Collie (pictured), presented symptoms of lethargy and occasional vomiting and diarrhea. She was a dog who loved doing agility trials, but who had become much slower in her performance. Her blood profile was normal, but a very astute doctor kept investigating, and when \u201cMaya\u201d flatlined her ACTH stim test, a diagnosis of Addison\u2019s was made.\nTalk to your veterinarian if you notice any changes in your pet\u2019s behavior or see symptoms of lethargy or vomiting.\nAddison\u2019s disease is an endocrine disorder where the adrenal glands, near the kidneys, fail to produce enough hormones. This disease is relatively uncommon (approximately one case per 3000 dogs) but it is more common in dogs than humans. It is very rare in cats.\nThe common symptoms of Addison\u2019s are lethargy, occasional vomiting or diarrhea, weakness, low body temperature, low heart rate, and shaking. The symptoms are often vague, may be intermittent, and can be attributed to many other causes. The problem is probably under-diagnosed; the doctor must have a high degree of clinical suspicion. The disease can be fatal if left untreated.\nAddison\u2019s usually affects young to middle-aged dogs, but can occur in any age. About seventy percent of cases are female. Some breeds are more likely to be affected: Great Danes, Newfoundlands, Portuguese Waterdogs, Rottweilers, German Shepherds, Westies, Wheaten Terriers, Springer Spaniels, but the breeds with the highest rates are Standard Poodles, Leonbergers, and Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers.\nA regular blood profile may have changes that suggest Addison\u2019s, especially certain alterations in the electrolytes. The specific test for the disease is an ACTH stimulation blood test. This test involves two blood draws, one before, and one an hour after an injection of a drug named Cortrosyn. Both of these samples are sent to the reference lab, and the results are compared to one another. A normal animal will respond to the Cortrosyn by a big increase compared to the first sample. An Addisonian animal will not have an increase.\nTreatment is either with an oral daily drug, Florinef, or an injectable drug, Percorten, that is given every 25 days. Most veterinarians use Percorten now as it provides better, smoother control of the disease, and does not rely on owner memory and compliance every day. A version of the disease called atypical Addison\u2019s may need only oral prednisone. Talk to your veterinarian if you have any concerns about your pet\u2019s health.",

        "raw_content": "Chris, our Christmas elf\nIt\u2019s hard to believe that Chris, our elf, has been a part of our family since 2006. I saw him sitting in a little boutique in Marietta before he ever sat on shelf in Target. Not many had heard of him at that point, in fact, no one we knew had ever heard of him. I looked him over and worried about the cost. He was pretty pricey but, I knew that the kids would have fun with it and so we brought him home. This will be his 9th Christmas that he is spending with us instead of hanging out with Santa at the North Pole. He\u2019s become an integral part of our Christmas preparations and the kids just love him.\nDuring his early years with us he didn\u2019t do much- just moved each night to a different place in the house. Our house isn\u2019t very big so there weren\u2019t many places to hide. It seemed that each year Chris hid in the same places over and over again. The kids didn\u2019t seem to mind or to even notice, but I wanted to do a little bit more with Chris. Turns out, Chris liked to get himself into trouble and loved shenanigans too so we work great together!\nWhile I know that there are many who are opposed to the elf because it detracts from the \u201creason for the season\u201d, I\u2019m here to say that if an elf keeps your kids from understanding the real reason for Christmas, it\u2019s not the elf that\u2019s the problem, but something even bigger. Anything you use during this time of year can add or detract from your preparations and celebrations. It is up to YOU how you allow it to affect your family and your beliefs. We choose to let Chris add to the wonder of the holiday and the waiting and to reinforce our beliefs and teachings by some of the activities that he engages in.\nNow, if your problem with the elf is just remembering to move him or worse yet, laziness, well, I have a solution for you. Here\u2019s a great website to help you through the season with your little helper. It\u2019s hilarious and really pretty much sums up my first year or two. No need to stress, you don\u2019t have to go crazy with your elf! The whole point of the elf is to have fun, if he\u2019s causing you stress he might need to go back to Santa\u2019s workshop to help out there instead.\nBUT, if you are like me and you feel like the elf can enhance your holiday spirit and help you prepare for one of the most special times of the year (and you like to do crazy stuff!) then keep on reading because I\u2019m about to share with you what our elf has done (with a little help from me) throughout the years. To say he has added a tremendous amount of joy and happiness to our celebrations would be an understatement.\nChris came this year a little early. Normally he comes each year when St. Nicholas comes to fill the kid\u2019s shoes with candy on Dec. 6th. My kids know that the real Santa Claus is actually St. Nicholas. He comes bearing little trinkets and candy on the 6th and then once again to bring presents to celebrate Christ\u2019s birthday on the 25th. Chris always comes on the 6th and the kids look forward to seeing him. But this year there will be a surprise when St. Nick comes so Chris got to come early. He brought with him a note from Santa reminding the kids of the real reason we celebrate Christmas- it\u2019s not Chris arriving, it\u2019s not Santa coming, it\u2019s not getting gifts under the tree- it\u2019s a birthday- Jesus\u2019 birthday. He reminded them that right now in Advent we are preparing for that birthday. He also reminded them to be good and that he has a special surprise for them. You\u2019ll have to come back to see what that surprise is!\nOne of the important aspects of Chris being silly and naughty is that the kids have to be good too. They know if they are not that Chris won\u2019t do things that bring a smile to their faces. Some might call it bribery to get them to be good, but I like to call it \u201cincentive in a little red suit\u201d. Over the years Chris has done lots of great things to make their holiday even better. They look forward to it and so they are often better behaved during the holidays. It\u2019s a nice perk to the little guy\u2019s presence here!\nWe are not a wealthy family, at least not monetarily. In fact, more times than not we struggle to make ends meet. We can\u2019t afford much and so the little things count that much more. I\u2019ve been told I\u2019m an overachiever when it comes to this kind of stuff. But, I can afford to do these little things (seriously, most of what I do comes from the Dollar Tree or is free!) and in the process we are building memories for our kids that they will look back on with love and delight. That is so important to me, especially in a world that takes our children\u2019s childhoods away so quickly!\nAnd so, without further delay, here are some ideas to pass along to your elf to help make those lasting memories for your children too.\nWhen he first started doing fun things he made us into gingerbread men!\nHe stole underwear and decorated the tree!\nHe\u2019s often hungry and helps himself to snacks\nHe attempted to take selfies on my camera\nHe left little gifts and wrapped them himself!\nWhen he knew there wouldn\u2019t be any snow, he brought snow for the kids\nHe silly-stringed the living room\nHe drew mustaches and beards on everyone!\nHe tepeed the living room!\nHe and his little buddy Kringle decorated the kitchen\u2026\nAnd the living room!\nHe hid candy canes all over the house!\nHe pooped in the kids\u2019 bathroom\nHe decided it was Moustache Monday!\nHe loves to hang out with Baby Jesus\nHe brought bad news from the North Pole for several of the kids\u2026\nIn addition to the above he\u2019s made snow angels on the kitchen table, cleaned the kids\u2019 rooms, played with their toys, baked cookies for them, and so much more. He has also sent them letters reminding them to say their prayers, to be nice to one another, to encourage them to put others first in their lives, and to remember that they are blessed. Chris has become a part of our family. The kids miss him terribly when he leaves to go back to the North Pole when Santa comes on Christmas Eve. But in his place they have memories they will cherish long after they discover the truth.\nOn Christmas Eve the kids are allowed to hold Chris, tell him thank you for all he\u2019s done, and remind him how much he is loved. I think this is their favorite part of having him here.\nmfritz12 December 4, 2014 Christmas, elf, Elf on the Shelf, family, fun, happiness, joy, memories, shenanigans, tradition\nOne thought on \u201cJust Elfing Around\u201d\nPingback: St. Nicholas\u2019 Surprise | tales from the side of the tub\nPrevious Previous post: The Jesse Tree- An Advent Tradition\nNext Next post: 7 Quick Takes Friday: Yes, I did Just Say That",

        "raw_content": "While most of us tax payers do the right thing, sometimes there is always a handful of tax payers that will try to cheat the system as much as they can. One of the ways which some tax payers may try to get a better return is to claim certain items as work related expense claims.\nThe Australian Taxation Office has noticed that in the past financial year of 2017, over 6.7 million tax payers have claimed \u201cother\u201d for work related expense claims, summing the total amount up to a record of $7.9 million Australian dollars.\nThe Australian Taxation Office has since then cracked down into investigating these \u201cother\u201d work related expense claims. They have so far contacted over one million tax payers as of June 2018, with adjustments reaching over $100 million Australian dollars to date.\nThis crackdown however, isn\u2019t only due to the increase cost of work-related expense claims, but it also shows the advancement of the taxation office\u2019s development in technological advances and data matching software. Due to such technological advances, it has now become more cost effective to investigate smaller cases where areas previously it would have taken a lot more resources to do so.\nSo, what can be claimed and considered as a work-related expense? The guidelines that have been set by the Australian Taxation Office in regard to what can and cannot be considered a work-related expense states that in order to be considered a work-related expense, you must have spent the money yourself for work purposes but was not reimbursed by your employer or company. You will also need to keep a record to prove that this is true in case the taxation office asks you to provide evidence of work-related expense claims.\nWork related expenses can be broken down into the following categories: travel expenses, clothing expenses, home office expenses, mobile and internet expenses, meal expenses, self-education expenses, equipment and tools and other work-related expenses.\nTravel expenses includes vehicles and other forms of transport traveling between one work location to another. You cannot claim trips for normal home to work / office trips as this is considered private / personal. In order to claim a travel expense as a work-related claim, you will usually be required to provide evidence in the form of a logbook or diary and any receipts in necessary.\nClothing and laundry expenses can only be claimed for purchase and cleaning of work specific attire, such as distinctive uniforms or protective clothing. You cannot claim generic clothing bought for work, for example a business jacket or black office pants. Non-compulsory work uniforms also cannot be claimed.\nHome office expenses are a bit of a trickier claim and can generally be claimed if you are an employee who regularly works from home. These expenses will generally include things that cost you money to run an office from home such as internet and phone expenses. A log book or diary is required however, if you would like to claim such expenses as you cannot claim all internet and phone as work related, only the percentage it was used for work.\nIf you get paid an overtime meal allowance under an industrial instrument (such as an award), then you may be entitled to claim over time meal work related expenses. You can only, however, claim the actual amount you have spent.\nSelf-education expenses can only be claimed if the self-education is directly related to your current work or if you receive a taxable bonded scholarship. There are certain courses that have been recognised by the Australian Taxation Office that is considered as eligible for self-education claims and there are courses that are also considered as non-eligible self-education claims.\nIf you purchase tools, equipment or other assets which will help you earn your income, you can claim a deduction for some or all of the costs. If the tools are used for work and private purposes, then you will need to record down the percentage that is used for work and the percentage that is used for personal.\nThe other work-related expenses category gets a bit complicated as technically speaking, what you spend money on to earn an income, you can usually claim that as a work-related expense. Other expenses can include categories such as income protection insurance, books, seminars or workshops, working with children checks, etc.\nThe general rule of thumb to take into consideration when claiming work related expenses is that if you require it to help you earn and income, then you may be able to possibly claim it back, however, written evidence needs to be documented in forms of either tax receipts or log books and diaries.\nOur advice would be to play it safe and not try to guess on your own of what can and cannot be claimed. It is best to speak with your tax professional to gain a better understanding of your deductions and returns. Don\u2019t have a tax professional?

        "raw_content": "Why this player is an unsung hero in Saints\u2019 recent run of form\nSouthampton defender Ryan Bertrand could have huge role under Ralph Hasenhuttl\nWould Tottenham or Everton be the best move for Southampton\u2019s Ryan Bertrand?\nFour players that Jose Mourinho sold too soon \u2026\nShould Southampton\u2019s Ryan Bertrand consider a return to Chelsea this summer?\nSaturday\u2019s 2-1 defeat to Chelsea marked Southampton\u2019s first defeat in seven games. A key component of that impressive run of form has been the defensive solidity with Southampton conceding for the first time in seven matches when Cesc Fabregas\u2019 cross eluded everybody and found its way into the back of the net. To not concede in six games is something special considering the amount of chances that get created in the Premier League and the competitive nature of it.\nDespite not keeping a seventh consecutive clean sheet, Saints still broke a record in the game against last season\u2019s champions. When the clock hit the 34th minute, Fraser Forster beat Paul Jones\u2019 top flight record for the longest time without conceding a goal for Southampton of 666 minutes. And the former Celtic \u2018keeper has played a crucial part of Saints\u2019 recent run of form and deserves heaps of credit. To return to top flight action after almost 10 months out injured and keep six consecutive clean sheets immediately and break Saints\u2019 longest time without conceding record is remarkable. The 27-year-old\u2019s presence has a calming influence on the defence. In some of the games he hasn\u2019t had a thing to do, apart from the odd simple save, but the presence of the 6\u2019 7\u2019\u2019 Geordie fills Southampton\u2019s back line with confidence knowing that if they are beaten, they have one of the best \u2018keepers in the country behind them.\nBut there\u2019s one man who has had as much of an impact as Forster has in this recent run of form. He deserves as much credit as Forster for his remarkable return and as much credit as Ronald Koeman for changing the tactics and formation. And that man is Ryan Bertrand.\nWhen Saints were in a so called \u201cmeltdown\u201d a year and a half ago and there was a mass exodus of first team players, it was the signing of Ryan Bertrand that reassured captain Jose Fonte that they were going to have a strong season and that the club still had ambition.\nBertrand has spent much of his time on the south coast as a full back that likes to bomb up the pitch and contribute as much to the attacking efforts as he does the defensive efforts. It was his defensive capabilities and his offensive threat that put him into last season PFA Team of the Year. He was the perfect replacement for Luke Shaw and his lack of playing time at Stamford Bridge made him arrive at St. Mary\u2019s with a hunger for game time and a desire to showcase his talents.\nHis form for Southampton has earned him a return to the England setup and is one of a handful of left backs that is giving Roy Hodgson a headache ahead of the Euros. But it could be Bertrand\u2019s versatility that puts him ahead of some of the others that are vying to be on the plane to France this summer.\nAfter a poor run of form over November, December and January, Koeman looked to changing Southampton\u2019s shape in the hope of changing their fortunes around. The Dutchman switched from a 4-2-3-1 formation to a 3-5-2 setup with Bertrand operating as the left sided centre back and the Chelsea academy product has excelled in that position.\nWith Koeman keen to stick to Saints\u2019 possession based philosophies, Bertrand\u2019s flexibility has been the key to the new formation functioning successfully. With Bertrand on the left hand side of the back three, he is able to start offensive moves confidently and, along with his fellow centre backs, he is comfortable on the ball to play out from the back. The security of having an extra man at the back has allowed the centre backs to venture forward a bit more freely, enabling them to create and join attacks. That was showcased at the weekend with Virgil Van Dijk posing a threat against Chelsea.\nOne of the criticisms amongst some Saints fans this season has been the lack of academy talent getting first team game time but Bertrand\u2019s inclusion as a centre back has allowed Matt Targett to get a run in the first team. Targett operates as a wing back in the new setup and has shown his best form for the club since being moved into the more offensive role. The security of having the pace and tactical awareness of Bertrand behind him means that he can advance freely knowing that the Champions League winner has the space behind covered.\nThere are a lot of components to Southampton\u2019s recent run of form to consider; Fraser Forster\u2019s return, Ronald Koeman\u2019s tactical expertise, Shane Long\u2019s tireless performances, Jordy Clasie\u2019s outstanding shifts in midfield. But for me, the one that makes all of it tick is Ryan Bertrand. He\u2019s the one that has meant that the change in formation is possible and works.\nIt\u2019s strange to think that he is a Champions League winner and he\u2019s playing for Southampton. It\u2019d be interesting to see how good Bertrand would\u2019ve been if he wasn\u2019t starved of opportunities at Chelsea but that seems to be the trend when you\u2019re a product of the Chelsea academy machine. But selfishly, I\u2019m glad he was starved of opportunities because it\u2019s brought him to my club and boy, what a difference he\u2019s made.\nFeatured image: all rights reserved by Mike Beales.\nRelated Topics:Ryan Bertrand, SaintsFC\nAre Southampton paving the way for others to employ this system?\nWill this Saints star be missed if he leaves this summer?",

        "raw_content": "Shit Tests And Shit Test Strategies\nEverything you want to know about shit tests, right here on this page. Enjoy.\nWhat Is A Shit Test?\nYou\u2019ve probably heard the term \"shit test\" before. The term is on its way to becoming a legitimate one in the area of psychology but it still is a long way until that happens.\nShit test is any action that is done to establish dominance (\"steal your frame\"), test compliance, provoke you into acting emotionally/defensive or a trap set up for you to embarrass yourself.\nRemember when last time you were in a pub and your friends laughed at you that you won\u2019t have fourth beer? They probably gave you a lot of shit like \"what are you, gay?\" or \"if you didn\u2019t suck so many dicks then maybe you\u2019d have some space for another beer!\u201d\nYou didn\u2019t reply to those statements by being offended or logically explaining that you, in fact, are a heterosexual human being and you do not suck dicks. And even if you were, you wouldn\u2019t swallow.\nThere are many strategies for passing a shit test but the underlying reasoning is always the same - don't make a fuss about it, don\u2019t explain yourself and do not care.\nFirst, let\u2019s focus more on the mindset behind passing shit tests.\nShit Test Primer\nWhen you act emotionally or logically then you fail a shit test. When you stay indifferent and nonchalant you pass it. That's a gross oversimplification but it'll serve well for the purpose of this text.\nThe basic strategies for passing shit tests are: agree and amplify, disagree and amplify, pressure flip, ignoring it, changing the topic, gaslighting and going nuclear. But that\u2019s for later.\nWhy would anyone try to make you fail such thing? We always test how far we can go, what we can get away with. We need to know the boundaries, so we know within what realm we can act. Most of us do it subconsciously as it's really just in our nature. Think about kids pushing the limits as far as they can until they get yelled upon.\nThere are some basic bitches out there that became self-aware enough that they employ shit-tests consciously as an actual filtering device. No sex and no relationship is worth subjecting yourself to such treatment.\nMore often than not, girls will throw shit tests at you to see if you're worthy of their time/attention/pussy. I really think that most are employed subconsciously. Girls fear that they\u2019re going to end up with a subpar male or someone who is fake. She just wants to be sure that you are all the things you're claiming to be.\nSo you\u2019ll be tested and put to the limits to reveal your true self.\n\"Fake it till you make it\" is a valid strategy.\nBut beware - you'll be tested.\nDon't Make A Fuss About It\nThat's where one of my mantras fits perfectly. Don't make a fuss about anything. Really, anything.\nDon't react emotionally, be like a rock. It's a very attractive quality and at the same time it will help you pass any shit tests that will be thrown your way.\nWhen you allow yourself to be stoic then every shit test you'll encounter will be passed just because you didn't act emotionally and you didn\u2019t explain yourself. Moreover, when you're a naturally funny guy then you'll employ (dis)agree and amplify or some other shit test strategy without even thinking about it.\nEven if you're fed up with what she does, do not get angry. That\u2019s the way to lose a shit test.\nCalmly tell her that it's not what you expect of her. There is no advantage to yelling, fighting and cutting your furniture in half. When you realize that whatever happens will soon be a distant memory then you can't possibly be angry.\nOf course your blood will be boiling at times but there is no upside to acting emotionally.\nSo don't do it. Ever.\nDo You Need More Help On Handling Shit Tests?\nSubscribe to the mailing list. I can't promise you that the next topic will be on shit tests but I'm sure it will be useful.\nWhatever You Do, She Will Act The Same\nThe biggest advantage of acting calm all the time is that any fights or quarrels will be finished before they even start. Girls follow and they like to be led. This in turn means that however you act, she will notice it and behave in the same way.\nIf you start to explain yourself then you're dead - she will investigate further, making you guilty in mere seconds. If you have an emotional reaction then you clearly don\u2019t have your shit together.\nAny damage control will be seen as a proof of you being guilty. And you can't really prove anything, so you're as good as dead.\nSo while there are many strategies of passing shit tests, they all have in common one thing - being non-reactive. If you\u2019re calm and collected or funny and witty and it doesn\u2019t look like you care then no one is going to assume there is any damage done to you.\nBecause if you're not making a big deal out of something, why would she?\nPassing Shit Tests\nThere are quite a few ways you can pass a shit test: agree and amplify, disagree and amplify, pressure flip, ignoring it, changing the topic, gaslighting and going nuclear. That's not a full list.\nYou also have to remember that most of those strategies are not reactive and most of them are either funny or amusing.\nSince always, comedians (and jesters) used humor to get away with saying what everyone thinks but no one wants to say out loud. In the same manner humor can help you get away with saying what you're really after in a way that is not going to scare her off.\nBut first, let's discuss the most common and most annoying shit tests out there.\n\"I Bet You Approach Girls All The Time\"\nOne of the most common shit tests in your daygame adventures will be \"I bet you approach girls all the time\". If you start to explain yourself, you'll fail. If you act emotionally - you'll fail. Agree & amplify - \"yes, every single day, I'm addicted\". Disagree & amplify - \"no, that was first time in my life\".\nThere is no way to continue that subject after either amplification. No wonder that's the default strategy for passing shit tests.\nBoth emotional reaction and explaining yourself are in the category of \"making a fuss about it\".\nMany shit test strategies are about ignoring her accusations and moving on. If she angrily asks you a question expecting you to subject yourself to a thorough examination and you just calmly answer with \"yes, I did that thing\" then the whole situation will get ridiculous if she tries to get angry.\n\"Why Did You Approach Me? Are You Trying To Pick Me Up?\"\nDuring the approach she might ask a few innocent and sometimes even genuine questions about why you're talking to her or even what's going on. If she's never been hit on like that then you have to let her know what you're up to. But of course you can't say \"I want to have sex with you.\"\nYou can always joke, ridicule and exaggerate. Use her suspicions as your fuel.\n\"Don't tell anyone, but I saw a really nice girl and I wanted to chat her up and see if she's cool.\" You can even be more direct. \"Of course I want to talk to you, get your number, go on a date, sleep with you, then marry and have kids. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. My name is Tom.\" That would be agree & amplify, the bread and butter of passing a shit test.\nIf a girl genuinely asks \"What do you want from me?\" or \"Why did you approached me?\" then it means you aren't as direct as you should be. She has to know that you're picking her up. If that happens regularly then something is definitely wrong with your game.\nMost girls will accept your answers if they made them laugh or smile. It's still nothing serious, you two just met, she's not going to go as far as to demand an honest answer for her random question. And if she does - that should a turn-off and a major red flag.\nFunny gaslighting in that situation would be \"Girl, you look at me like a piece of meat and now accuse me of picking you up? I too have feelings!\". Ignoring it would be to continue with stacking.\nIf she's that way then obviously it's your fault. Sucker.\n\"You Probably Date Many Different Girls At The Same Time...\"\n\"How many girls are you seeing?\" and \"Why don't you have a girlfriend?\" are the most common shit tests that you can disarm by humor. \"I've lost count, you need to ask my secretary\", \"I have one girl for each day of the week but Wednesdays are free!\" Usually you can get away with lines like that. By now you should recognize it as agree and amplify.\nDisagree and amplify would be \"You're the first girl ever that I talked to. Look! My hands are still shaking!\" A pressure flip in that situation would be \"Wow, so you must think that every guy tries to hit on you. You probably never know whether someone likes you or just thinks you're hot, do you?\"\nIf you're still in the early stages of pickup then both ignoring the issue and misdirecting (\"You were saying something about your childhood BFF. I'm sure you're not even speaking to each other anymore\") work great. There are no expectations after all.\nHowever, later in the relationship and sometimes even as early as on the first date she will want answers. Maybe she's considering you a real option or maybe she's just insecure. But you can feel that avoiding answers using humor won't do. She'll insist.\nYou can still use humor as an excuse to be blatantly honest and pass the shit test. \"Why did you approach me?\" \"If I have to be honest it was your legs. Then I saw the rest and thought you might be cool.\" There, you've introduced some sexual tension, was honest and got away with it.\nVery good but ancient canned line is \"Sorry, I wasn't listening. I was staring at your boobs/legs/ass.\" It works in the same manner. She'll laugh but some part of her will take it seriously - that you treat her like a sexual being. And that's what you want. Seed is planted.\n\u200bBoyfriend Objections, Player Accusations\nAccording to my readers, two most common shit tests are: boyfriend objections and accusations of being a player. Variant of the latter was discussed above so you should know how to reply when she teases you with \"Do you say that to all the girls?\"\nPossible responses include: \"Yes\" with a nice smirk, \"Only to blonde ones\" or an exaggarated \"I'm hurt! It's the first time in my life I even talk to a girl!\". When you amplify, exaggarate and ridicule it's very easy to pass every single shit test.\nAs for the boyfriend objections, it's more complicated. Before you approach her you get \"approach anxiety\". But when you do it's her who gets \"being approached anxiety\". Some of the girls might want to escape by using any excuse at hand. Telling you she has a boyfriend is a good strategy as many guys are discouraged. So you're free to ignore that \"shit test\" when it comes right at you at the start.\nHowever, when she says she has a boyfriend later on when you take the number she's probably telling the truth. You can joke by saying outragous things like \"but I already bought the ring!\", \"I hope he doesn't have a gun\" or \"don't worry, we won't go to the same date venues as you guys go\". If she laughs but reaffirms her position - that's it, you won't get anywhere.\nIf she's considering upgrading to you or cheating, she doesn't want you to be witty. She wants to see that you were in this situation before and you're a safe choice. But that calls for a whole other text.\nShit Test Strategies\nBy now you should probably know what the most common strategies for passing shit tests are:\nagree & amplify - Agree with her and wildly exaggerate her accusations.\ndisagree & amplify - Disagree with her and go to the other side of the spectrum and beyond, into the absurd.\npressure flip - Turn the table and put the pressure back on her. Don\u2019t explain yourself, make her explain her actions instead.\nignore - That's the \"advanced\" one as when someone accuses you of something then ignoring it might look defensive. If your response looks like \"I don't know what to say\" or \"I'm so angry that I won't say anything\" then it's bad as it is reactive. But you should be fine if you can ignore the question looking like \"that's doesn't even merit a response\".\nchange the topic - It is self-explanatory. Acknowledge what was said but continue the conversation in a totally different direction. You don't react to the initial shit-test and you're not ignoring it either. Instead, you go around it.\ngaslight - I'd say this is advanced strategy. The goal is to make her question her own claims. That means it is reactive but it also makes her confused or apologetic. Hardly a vibe you want her to be in when it comes to seduction, so avoid it unless you know what you\u2019re doing.\ngo nuclear - That's also an advanced idea and it is reactive, so it's not a perfect solution but it is a final one. In essence you're doing exactly what she wants you to do - you become reactive but you also do something that she didn't suspect - you punish her for acting silly.\nAn example of going nuclear would be the following situation. If you have a girl on your bed for the third time and she still teases you and gives you blue balls then you might think enough is enough. what do you do? You throw her away while explaining that this not that type of relationship and you're not the guy who will wait and by the way - there are the doors.\nNot For Sad People\nI'm rather introverted but I have nothing against making other people laugh. I'm a positive person. I joke a lot, maybe more than I should in some serious situations but I always think that good laugh trumps any worry. As such if you're a sad fuck, then you'll have very hard time not reacting to shit tests as most of the strategies are humorous in nature.\nThere is this notion about \"masculine men\" being confident, stoic and always serious. I don't know where it comes from as even our beloved (and imaginary) James Bond joked, even if it was mainly for self-amusement. No one is going to think of you as a less of a man if you can make other people laugh. Just avoid self-deprecating humor and being a clown. And that's easy.\nAnd if you ever have a hard time finding an answer to a shit test then think what would you reply to your best friend in a bar after three beers. The usual answer is (dis)agree and amplify.\nGet Shit Tested - Learn Daygame\nYou'll get a full and complete daygame guide with the welcome message. Subscribe now:\nWhy You Will Fail? Entropy\nIf there is infinite number of states for a given system and only one of those states is ordered then every random event will make the system deteriorate more and more into disorder. That's more or less entropy and it's also the tool that is going to help me explain why you're going to fail if you're given enough time.\nThere are no normal girls, every single one is damaged, toxic or insane in a way and to a point. Once you decide on the level of craziness that's acceptable for you, you can begin to have relationships. It doesn't matter whether it's going to be more serious or just a casual sex type of thing - you'll spend more time with a girl.\nWhen you're spending more time with her then eventually you'll fall into disordered state - a fight, a shit test, her moods or issues. Usually there are one or two good ways to react. If we're thinking about shit test then all proper responses will be non-reactive. There are also infinite possible bad reactions. Give her enough time to test you and you'll eventually fail.\nThat's the same reason why you shouldn't text a girl if you've already set up a date with her. Nothing you'll say will make her want to see you more, you can only fuck it up. So don't. In such cases keep texting to minimum.\n\u200bBoundaries On Bullshit\nThe goal is to maintain your frame at all times and be that hard rock, this non-reactive guy. I'm all in for stoicism and given my quite neurotic past I'm basically a Buddhist monk right now. I know what I am, I know what I want and people trying to get inside my head do not bother me.\nBut of course every now and then I slip. Especially if it's a girl, her issues start to creep and there was enough time for a buildup. Everyone slips, the questions is: are you going to throw a tantrum or you're just going to react emotionally but still in line with your past behavior (like a man would).\nGirls need boundaries on bullshit and from time to time it is important that you show her that you're not going to put up with everything she throws at you. Be strict, be uncompromising and don't back off. Don't worry, it won't make her leave you (and if it does - it's only for the better). While you can say it's reacting emotionally - it's still better than getting sad or angry.\nJust remember to hold the frame.\nHolding The Frame\n\"Holding the frame\" is as much about not reacting emotionally to her shit tests as it is about covering up your slip-ups. I don't mean \"covering\" as in \"pretending that they never happened\" or \"explaining to her what you did and why\". On the contrary - own your mistakes and accept them as something inevitable. You will make them so you need a strategy that includes holding your frame.\nWhatever you did assume it was the best thing to do. \"Yes, it could be done differently. I did it the way I thought it was the best.\" That's how you should think not only about your reactions to anything a girl throws at you but about anything you do in your life.\nNever apologize unless you did something wrong on purpose or it was something as minor as bumping into someone. In the latter case I hope you have good manners and your \"sorry\" will be automatic.\nBut even when you did react to her behavior or you showed that you care (oh the shock and horror) she will try to somehow make sense out of your response. If that's an exception she will think about it as such. But if you start to react emotionally all the time she'll start to think differently about you. Maintain the frame, be coherent and you'll be fine.\nDo not make fuss about shit-test and do not make a big deal out of your slip-ups.\nOf course, it is better to not mistakes at all. But since we're all humans - good luck with that.\nAnd watch for shit tests.",

Who knows if you\u2019ll even get the email from Twitter about it, I know that I filter all of those things out. You can read all of the details about the hack and the company response here.\nI find it really confusing when anything like this happens, because it feels like companies try to diminish the perception of the impact of the situation. Fact of the matter is, its users are seeing sad tweets from their friends about how they got hacked. I even had one person tell me that they felt like they weren\u2019t cool enough because they didn\u2019t get hacked.\nLet\u2019s make this easier.

        "raw_content": "Moseley village | \u00a9 Pete Ashton/Flickr\nEngland / Guides & Tips\nThe Coolest Neighbourhoods in Birmingham, UK\nFreelance Travel & Music Writer\nOnce famed for its industrial power, Birmingham is successfully becoming one of the fastest-growing cities in the country. With the regular introduction of innovative bars, restaurants and hangouts to complement their existing charms, these five areas blend culture and creativity to be the coolest neighbourhoods in the city.\nDating back over 250 years and home to more than 500 jewellery retailers, the Jewellery Quarter is a sparkling gem in the bustling city of Birmingham. Consistently leading the way with trendy bars, independent restaurants and creative spaces, the JQ, as it\u2019s known locally, is home to a plethora of amenities. Take the Louisiana-style French bistro diner The Church for example; a delight with the locals, as is hidden gin emporium 40 St Pauls. The neighbourhood\u2019s centrepiece, however, is St Paul\u2019s Square \u2013 with its cathedral namesake housed within and streets lined with offices, music venues and pubs snaking around the edges \u2013 making the Jewellery Quarter the perfect place to work, rest and play.\nSt Paul\u2019s Square | \u00a9 Bob Hall / Flickr\nJust a stone\u2019s throw away from the Bullring shopping centre is Digbeth, known locally as Birmingham\u2019s creative district. Awash with arts and music venues, galleries and independent outlets, this area of Birmingham is home to the famous Custard Factory. What was once the original factory of Bird\u2019s Custard is now a working space for digital and creative businesses and an independent retail complex for the likes of the Mockingbird Cinema and Kitchen. In addition, Digbeth proudly comes alive at night, thanks to its range of bars and pubs; from The Old Crown, Birmingham\u2019s oldest inn dating back to 1368, to The Rainbow Venues, which boast 11 modern spaces ranging from a 150-capacity basement room to a railway arch outdoor arena housing 5000.\nDigbeth, Birmingham, England, UK\nLocated just south of the city centre is Moseley, a leafy suburb which was recently voted the best place to live in Britain by The Sunday Times. Here you\u2019ll find the likes of One Trick Pony Club and The Dark Horse, two independent bars which regularly host live music. Popular haunts for locals include Indian restaurant Kababish and the nearby, impressive Italian, Ponte di Legno, with the Prince of Wales pub ranking highly too. Though this typically Victorian village may seem hectic, a short walk takes you half a world away to the peaceful Moseley Park and Pool, where popular festivals Moseley Folk and Mostly Jazz are held in the summer.\nMoseley, Birmingham, England, UK\nRelatively close to Moseley is King\u2019s Heath, and in particular, York Road. Sitting at the tip of this lively street is the Hare & Hounds, one of Birmingham\u2019s best independent music venues and the birthplace of local reggae band UB40. Across the road you\u2019ll discover Kitchen Garden Caf\u00e9, a vegan cafeteria by day and music venue by night, and Fletchers, a quaint bar and eatery with classy cocktails. You\u2019ll find the independent caf\u00e9-bar Cherry Reds here too, as well as Polar Bear Records and Off the Scale, a non-profit, by-the-kilo vintage shop supporting depression. With regular farmers\u2019 markets and an abundance of independent outlets, there\u2019s so much more in King\u2019s Heath, but you really could spend a day on York Road alone.\nKing\u2019s Heath, Birmingham, England, UK\nWhile the Victorian suburb of Harborne is just three miles south of the city centre, it\u2019s an area of Birmingham that manages to retain a village feel, mostly thanks to its array of pubs and country look. Harborne is renowned for its successful independent bars and eateries, like The Plough and local caf\u00e9 Boo Boo Coffee \u2013 a recent winner of Intuit Quickbooks\u2019 Small Business Big Success Competition. A short drive around the area reveals the character Harborne possesses \u2013 the disused railway line now a popular walking trail and its narrow streets lined with Victorian-era terraced houses. This quiet, residential area even boasts a Michelin-starred restaurant, Turners at 69.\nHarborne, Birmingham, England, UK\nHarborne old railway | \u00a9 Simon Hammond / Flickr",

Through their programs, exclusive members-only networking initiatives and events, influence, educate and inform the people who drive and shape international wind energy.\nMembership enables the wind community to make better-informed investment decisions, deepen industry knowledge, benefit from concise, informed deal information and ultimately get the inside track on what\u2019s happening in wind.\n6th Annual Guide to the Top 100 Power People\nA Word About Wind has published its sixth annual guide to the Top 100 Power People, in association with Sentient Science. The report ranks the major influencers in the global wind energy sector and offers in-depth interviews with leading investors, utilities and developers in the space.\nThis year\u2019s report has a particular focus on the growing significance of the US market, as reflected in the ranking of Philip Anschutz, American multi-billionaire and owner of the Power Company of Wyoming, at number one.\nAnschutz, who has made a reported $12bn fortune in sectors including oil, heads the 2017 list of 100 most influential players in wind energy.\nAccording to the annual Top 100 Power People, a report published by industry intelligence service A Word About Wind, in association with headline sponsor Sentient Science, the report ranks the major influencers in the global wind energy sector and offers in-depth interviews with leading investors, utilities and developers in the space.\nA key theme in this year\u2019s ranking is the US wind energy markets is continued resilience in the face of the potential challenges posed by President Trump\u2019s administration.\nAnschutz has secured the top spot by providing a welcome to the industry. Anschutz\u2019s estimated $12bn wealth is largely due to the oil drilling company he took over from his father in the 1960s, as well as his work in sectors including entertainment, real estate, telecoms and transportation. Anschutz is known for investing in industries that are on the cusp of major change, and the planned 3GW wind farm on his land in Wyoming is a testament to the business tycoon\u2019s conviction that wind is on the rise. If completed as planned, the project will be the largest onshore wind farm in North America.\n\u201cWhile our focus is global, this year\u2019s Top 100 Power People ranking has been significantly influenced by determined participants in the US wind sector \u2013 from financial service providers to developers and utilities \u2013 who have refused to let their enthusiasm be dampened by Trump\u2019s public derision of renewables,\u201d said Richard Heap, Editor, A Word About Wind.\n\u201cAside from this, the fact that our top spot has been taken by Philip Anschutz, a man with a highly successful track record in business but little previous involvement in clean energy, is a testament to the exciting position the wind industry finds itself in,\u201d he added. \u201cIt shows that people are starting to realise that renewables, even without their other benefits, simply make the most business sense \u2013 both in the US and worldwide.\u201d\nThe report features E.On\u2019s Anja-Isabel Dotzenrath on this year\u2019s cover. Dotzenrath is another major player who remains optimistic about the future of the US renewables industry, citing E.On\u2019s \u2018ambitious plans\u2019 in North America, which she views as a \u2018very attractive\u2019 market.\nDotzenrath\u2019s market perspectives are accompanied in the report by additional in-depth interviews with sector experts. Jens Tommerup of MHI Vestas explores the implications of increasing turbine sizes, and discusses the future of offshore, while Ward Thomas of Sentient Science explains how developments in materials science are reducing the cost of wind energy.\nBlackRock\u2019s David Giordano also offers his thoughts on the world\u2019s largest wind and solar fund, and on the pressure to improve the grid through transmission lines.\nThe Top 100 Power People was initially launched at A Word About Wind\u2019s annual conference, \u2018Financing Wind\u2019.

And while predictions are for a relatively soft landing, it's time for the market to adjust to a new normal.\nhttps://www.afr.com/real-estate/residen ... 915-h15fq6\nSydney house prices have fallen 7.1 per cent over the past 12 months with Melbourne down 2.7 per cent\nBricks and slaughter: Part one - Exposing Australia's housing crisis | 60 Minutes Australia\nWent onto the second part two, comments disabled. It's going to be a bloodbath.\nhttps://www.professionalplanner.com.au/ ... or-a-rout/\nThat is well worth a read\nquestion is whether the rapid accumulation of household debt \u2013 to record levels \u2013 will produce not only weaker economic growth (through a decline in construction activity, home sales, renovation demand and, consequently, consumer spending and sentiment) but also a more painful experience, such as a recession.\nover the last five years, the banks have written $650 billion in interest-only mortgages. That represents about 40 per cent of the total book of mortgages written. The value of interest-only loans maturing next year will be $133 billion. That figure will peak in 2020 at about $159 billion, with another $135 billion maturing in 2021 and $117 billion doing so in 2022. If 40 per cent of the total book is interest-only and the APRA-imposed cap is 30 per cent of all new loans written (assuming no system growth), that means about 10 per cent or $136 billion will migrate from interest-only to P&I between now and 2022.\nASIC states that the average size of an interest-only mortgage is $347,000, which means there are about 392,000 interest-only mortgagors migrating to P&I between 2019 and 2022. Keep in mind it is the marginal buyer and seller that will determine the price of everyone\u2019s property. It is the behaviour of buyers and sellers next weekend that determines property prices for all of us.\nAGL Energy financial year 2017-18 result showing bad and doubtful debts jumped more than 20 per cent, to $94 million \u2013 equal to fully 13 per cent of the CBA\u2019s bad and doubtful debt charge.\nAustralia-wide, home-loan growth is going backwards at the rate of about 8.4 per cent as at June this year\ntidal wave of interest-only mortgages that would switch to principal and interest (P&I), and which would be accompanied by a rise in repayments of as much as 40 per cent. Clearly, this will have a dampening effect on discretionary spending.\nwe haven\u2019t even touched on the impact of a 65 per cent slump in applications to the Foreign Investor Review Board (FIRB) by foreign entities for investment in housing\nMoody\u2019s data shows that the 90 days past due delinquency rate for mortgages that have converted to P&I from IO is 0.94 per cent, double that of IO loans that have not yet converted and 0.24 percentage points higher than all securitised mortgages.\u201d\nowner-occupier loans for alterations and additions slumped about 20 per cent, year-on-year\nagain, worth a read\nhttp://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf ... num=&view=\nAnnually, residential property prices fell in Darwin (-6.1%), Sydney (-3.9%) and Perth (-0.9%), and rose in Hobart (+15.5%), Canberra (+3.0%), Melbourne (+2.3%), Adelaide (+2.1%) and Brisbane (+1.7%).\nOverall, Australia's population grew by 380,700 people to reach 24.9 million in the year ending March 2018.\nNet overseas migration added 236,800 people to the population, and accounted for 62 per cent of Australia's total population growth.\nhttp://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf ... Mar%202018\nHighly highly relevant as there are some reports of vacancy rates dropping and rents rising which would put a floor under price drops. The government very deliberately put the foot down on the accelerator of migration over the past few years.\nIt is labeled as skilled migration but thats only a tiny amount relative to the new 'temporary' visas that have been issued. Those 'temporary' visas are a route for large numbers of low skilled third world migrants who will cram in to Sydney and Melbourne (and they are as its far better than the slums they come from). The catch is a very real race to low standards of living.\nThis faster-than-expected surge in population has been an important element in propping up the Australian economy and has supported the \u201827 years of continuous economic growth\u2019 narrative. Indeed, it is possibly the only element, given that population increase contributed around two-thirds of total economic growth in Australia since the GFC.\nThe challenge is that, while Australia\u2019s income continues to increase on the back of population growth, last year we saw a small decline in real income per capita. That is, while population growth is propping up our headline economic growth figures, the real standard of living has stagnated and fallen slightly (0.2%).\nhttps://www.pwc.com.au/press-room/2018/ ... oming.html\nThe government doubled down on property quite a while ago. Remember they also guaranteed the banks in 2008 (which had the unintended consequence of relieving the banks of negative impacts of irresponsible lending) thereby throwing fuel on the fire.\nNevertheless at growth of 380,000 a year and an average household size of 2.6 it equates to a demand of 152,000 properties a year. The rate is currently over 200,000 being built a year\nSpoke to a banker in Sydney. \"Soft landing on the way, Sydney back 5-10%, with another 5-10% to come, Perth already bottomed out, Brisbane and Adelaide never had a boom.\"\nSafe to say that panic hasn't set in just yet...\nWe all partied.\nhttps://www.afr.com/real-estate/one-in- ... 920-h15mt1\nhttps://rogermontgomery.com/how-well-do ... more-28335\nSecond link would leave you speechless or you might laugh out loud alot.

        "raw_content": "Hamptons hideaways of the rich and famous\nFrom Broadway belters to \u201cReal Housewives,\u201d celebrity Hamptonites are trying their luck on the East End market\nBy Donna A. Airoldi | June 11, 2018 01:00PM\nThe modern, 4-acre compound at 230 and 234 Old Montauk Highway is listed for $21 million.\nSeveral homes with celebrity cachet \u2014 current and historical \u2014 have hit the market this summer. But a famous seller does not mean these properties are immune to price drops. Several homes have had to slash their asking prices on more than one occasion.\nMeanwhile, some A-listers are trying their luck on the rental market, offering up their homes for just a month or the whole season.\nHere\u2019s a look at what some newsmakers are doing with their East End abodes.\n224 and 234 Tuckahoe Road, Southampton\nTV chef Rachael Ray has relisted her Southampton home for $4.5 million, a $400,000 cut from its initial asking price of $4.9 million in August 2017. Built in 1976, the estate sits on more than 6 acres on two separate lots that are adjacent to the Southampton Golf Club. Three en-suite bedrooms are included in the 3,000-square-foot residence, and naturally, in addition to the gourmet kitchen, there\u2019s a staging kitchen in the four-room pool house. There are also options to buy the home furnished and to purchase the two lots separately: The house, on one-third of an acre, is going for $3.8 million, and the empty 5.8-acre lot for $925,000. Ray and her husband purchased the house in 2008 for $2.6 million. Angela Boyer-Stump of Sotheby\u2019s International Realty has\nSteal of a deal?\n216 Old Montauk Highway, Montauk\nBernie Madoff\u2019s former Montauk beach house is on the market for a cool $21 million. The current owners are Vornado CEO Steven Roth and his wife, Tony Award-winning producer Daryl Roth. The 3,000-square-foot house sits along 180 feet of the Atlantic and was renovated by designer Thierry Despont. It offers three bedrooms, three baths and a two-story great room with a 30-foot-high stone fireplace. A gunite pool with a cabana is a recent addition. Gary DePersia and Joan Hegner of Corcoran Group have the listing.\n230 and 234 Old Montauk Highway, Montauk\n230 and 234 Old Montauk Highway\nDown the street from the Roth home, real estate investor Michael Hirtenstein has put his modern, 4-acre compound on the market, also for $21 million. The estate includes two oceanfront parcels with two buildings designed by noted architect James Biber of Biber Architects and Pentagram Design. The buildings \u2014 a 5,500-square-foot main residence and 2,400-square-foot guest house \u2014 received the 2006 AIA New York State Design Awards Citation for Design and the 2007 American Architecture Award for Distinguished Buildings. The dating app company Tinder rented out the property last year, rankling neighbors with loud parties. DePersia also has this listing.\nSlashed price\n2301 Deerfield Road, Sag Harbor\nThe 25-acre estate of former NBC \u201cToday\u201d show anchor Matt Lauer \u2014 ousted from his morning perch following allegations of sexual misconduct \u2014 saw another price cut this spring of $2.1 million, bringing the asking price down to $12.75 million from $18 million in 2016. Lauer bought the then-new 8,000-square-foot Sag Harbor home in 2004. It has six bedrooms, six full baths, two half-baths, a heated pool and a tennis court. Susan Breitenbach of Corcoran has the listing.\nHollywood pedigree\n1131 Flying Point Road, Water Mill\nThis cottage in Water Mill that once belonged to comedic talent Mel Brooks and his Academy Award-winning wife Anne Bancroft is on the market for just under $12 million. The 2,000-square-foot oceanfront house includes three bedrooms and three baths, a wood-burning fireplace and a pool. The couple bought the home in 2000 for $3 million; Brooks sold it for $5.3 million in 2010, five years after his wife died. Brown Harris Stevens\u2019 Mary Ann Cinelli has the listing.\nBroadway moves east\n34 Darby Lane and 59 Georgica Road, East Hampton\nThese two houses, designed by Alexander Gorlin, named one of Architectural Digest\u2019s top 100 architects, sit on adjoining plots over more than 3 acres. The one at 59 Georgica was once home to legendary Broadway lyricist Adolph Green and his Tony-winning wife, actress Phyllis Newman. The combined properties, with a total of 9,148 square feet, have an asking price of $11.8 million but can also be purchased separately, according to 27 East. Martha Gundersen of Brown Harris Stevens has the listing.\nA dancer\u2019s retreat\n236 Quimby Lane, Bridgehampton\nThe 7,200-square-foot Bridgehampton estate of renowned ballerina Sono Osato is on the market for $37 million. Built in 1917, the 4-acre waterfront property has only had one owner aside from Osato. The princely asking price includes five bedrooms, each with a fireplace, along with six full and two partial baths, a heated pool and a tennis court. Deborah Srb of Sotheby\u2019s International Realty has the listing.\n121 Sunset Beach\n121 Sunset Beach Road, North Haven\nThe 3,300-square-foot waterfront home of fashion icon China Machado, who died in 2016, is for sale for $9.8 million. Machado was one of the first non-Caucasian models to appear in major American fashion magazines. She was the muse of photographer Richard Avedon, who is said to have called her \u201cprobably one of the most beautiful women in the world.\u201d She worked and socialized with the likes of Hubert de Givenchy, Crist\u00f3bal Balenciaga, Pablo Picasso, William Holden and Diana Vreeland. Located in North Haven, just north of Sag Harbor, the four-bedroom, four-bathroom home features Machado\u2019s paintings and murals. A wall of pink rose bushes leads to the beach. Rima Mardoyan Smyth of Douglas Elliman, Mala Sander of Corcoran and Beate Moore of Sotheby\u2019s have the listing.\n330 Main Street, Sag Harbor\nComposer and conductor Marvin Hamlisch, chef and author Anna Pump and football commentator Gene Washington all lived in this Sag Harbor house at one point or another. It\u2019s now owned by Noble Black of Douglas Elliman, regularly listed as one of the top real estate brokers in New York City by The Real Deal, and his husband, lawyer Marc Rozic. The $3.4 million house, built in the 1840s, has been renovated by John Bj\u00f8rnen. Currently configured with four bedrooms, a library and three full baths, the house also offers six working fireplaces and water views from every room. Black, Jonathan Davis and John Giruzzi of Elliman have the listing.\n220 Treescape Drive\nHamptons hideaway\n220 Treescape Drive, East Hampton\nThe $1.38 million East Hampton home of makeup artist Matin Maulawizada \u2014 whose clients include Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie and Cynthia Nixon \u2014 is on the market. Maulawizada owns the home with Mike Serdiouk; together they founded Afghan Hands, a nonprofit that supports disadvantaged and disenfranchised women in Afghanistan. The 1,677-square-foot home sits on nearly an acre in the Northwest Woods. The three-bedroom, three-bath home comes with a heated pool, 1,000-square-foot mahogany deck and eight large skylights. Robert Mobley and Nicola Clayton of Douglas Elliman have the listing.\n120 Beach Lane, Wainscott\nMickey Drexler, the CEO of J. Crew, recently sold his 3,500-square-foot Wainscott mansion for $15 million. He had listed it for $26.5 million back in 2014, but it had been on and off the market with numerous price cuts since then. It last relisted in November for $17.95 million. The 2.3-acre property includes three bedrooms and 315 feet of ocean frontage. Douglas Elliman\u2019s Paul Brennan handled the sale.\nNewsmaking deal\n5 Cameron Way, Southampton\nABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos and his actress wife, Ali Wentworth, have found a buyer for their gated Southampton estate after dropping $1 million from its 2016 asking price. Listed at a hair under $6 million, the six-bedroom mansion sits on nearly 1.5 acres and has a media room with a wet bar, a 1,000-bottle wine cellar, a tennis court and a pool. The deal was still under contract in early June. Ann Ciardullo and Keith Green of Sotheby\u2019s International Realty had the listing.\n64 Deep Lane\n64 Deep Lane, Amagansett\nMarilyn Monroe and husband No. 3, Arthur Miller, stayed in this converted building, known at the Windmill House, in 1957. It\u2019s now for rent for $55,000 from Memorial Day to Labor Day. The New York Post reported that the actress prepped for her role in the film \u201cSome Like It Hot\u201d while the couple stayed there. The newly renovated property, which was built in the 1800s, has 1,300 square feet on three floors, with two bedrooms and one bath set on nearly 5.5 acres. Douglas Elliman\u2019s Bobby Rosenbaum has the listing.\n39 Pheasant Close South, Southampton\nThe Southampton estate of \u201cReal Housewives of New York\u201d star Ramona Singer is listed for $165,000 for August to Labor Day. The 7,000-square-foot mansion has six bedrooms, five and a half baths, a professional kitchen and a heated pool, plus tennis and bocce courts. The house was apparently where her ex-husband, Mario Singer, carried on his highly publicized affair with socialite Kasey Dexter. Corcoran Group\u2019s Alison Barwick-Bissat and David Butland have the listing.\nWine on the waterfront\nBethenny Frankel, the founder of Skinnygirl Cocktails and one of the original and returning members of the \u201cRHONY\u201d crew, is reportedly renting her Bridgehampton home from as much as $150,000 for the full season to as little as $35,000 for the month of June. Frankel, who also took on the role of real estate maven alongside Fredrik Eklund on Bravo\u2019s \u201cBethenny and Fredrik\u201d this past winter, bought the 4,000-square-foot house last year and gave it a modern makeover. Dubbed the Morning Glory, the seven-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bath home was built in 1910 and has a swimming pool and a family room with a wet bar. Breitenbach of Corcoran has the listing.\nSummer, Southampton style\n12 Sandringham Lane, Southampton\nFormer \u201cRHONY\u201d star Jill Zarin reportedly moved out of her Southampton home last year and is now renting it out for the summer season. The three-story, 6,100-square-foot mansion was built in 2011 and sits on about 1.25 acres of waterfront property. The home has five bedrooms, seven and a half baths, a heated pool and a sauna and steam room, according to the listing. The house is available for $260,000 for the full season, $125,000 for August to Labor Day, $110,000 for July and $50,000 for June.

        "raw_content": "WeWork wars\nThe co-working giant is seeing plenty of demand, but what will happen to the smaller South Florida players once the office-sharing service gobbles up all the space?\nBy Mike Seemuth | December 14, 2017 11:00AM\nFounded locally in 2010, Bu\u0308ro Group has five Miami-area locations and will expand with a Hollywood site in late 2018.\nSouth Florida increasingly pays for office space as a one-stop service business, with companies forsaking a traditional lease in favor of a modern mix of open-seating areas and private offices with perks, including free coffee, that aim to promote collaboration and innovation among tenants. But as co-working behemoth WeWork \u2014 with its $20 billion valuation \u2014 increases its presence in the area, will the locally founded stalwarts get drowned out?\nThe nation\u2019s largest co-working office operator, New York-based WeWork, started opening locations in the Miami area in 2012, two years after Miami-based B\u00fcro Group said it introduced the co-working concept in South Florida. WeWork\u2019s arrival in Miami coincided with the startup of another formidable Miami-based competitor, Pipeline Workspaces.\n\u201cWhen we started in 2012, WeWork really was not a known entity,\u201d says Philippe Houdard, co-founder of Pipeline.\nWeWork is increasingly making its presence in the Miami market known. As the end of 2017 approached, the company was preparing to double its Miami-area space by opening new locations in Coral Gables, where the company leased 60,000 square feet during the second quarter, and downtown Miami, where it leased 97,000 square feet in a 15-story historic building.\nThe WeWork space in Coral Gable\u2019s Giralda Place mixed-use development is planned to open by the end of 2017. There, WeWork is leasing six floors. In November, the firm lined up five companies to occupy one whole floor each at the 15-story Security Building, a historic landmark in downtown Miami, according to Adam Wacenske, South Florida general manager of WeWork.\nIn a mid-November phone interview, Wacenske declined to identify the big-membership buyers at the Security Building, but he said the terms of such whole-floor commitments \u201ccan be from one to five years.\u201d Asked if WeWork lowers its price in exchange for large-scale, long-term commitments, Wacenske said, \u201cI don\u2019t think so, necessarily.\u201d\nUnlike some smaller local co-working operators, WeWork is driven by big business, said Mark Pateman, managing principal for Palm Beach County at Cushman & Wakefield. \u201cThe enterprise business is where they\u2019re focusing, providing space for IBM and Boeing, global companies that really need scalability,\u201d he said.\nPateman also said some smaller South Florida operators might not have staying power in a slower economy. \u201cThe big guys, the WeWorks and Reguses, are going to be more resilient in a downturn,\u201d and smaller sellers of office space as a service and an experience will be subject to \u201ca large cleaning out.\u201d\nAnd Regus, with about 3,000 locations around the world, including about three dozen in South Florida, has been making some local moves lately. Since late 2016, Regus has opened five South Florida locations, in Aventura, Fort Lauderdale, Jupiter, Miami Beach and Sunny Isles Beach. It is also preparing to open a co-working office location under its Spaces brand in downtown Miami in 2018.\nThe first Spaces in South Florida will open in a multilevel, 19,000-square-foot space at MiamiCentral Two, a 190,000-square-foot office building in downtown Miami that is under construction and expected to open in early 2018.\nAfter introducing Spaces to South Florida in Miami, Jeff Doughman, executive vice president of North America sales and operations, said Regus plans to open more Spaces locations in South Florida targeting large companies, not just small fry.\n\u201cWe provide a lot of larger space for corporates,\u201d he said, calling commitments of two and a half years or less for 15,000 square feet or more \u201cour sweet spot.\u201d\nThe supply-side growth of the co-working segment in South Florida\u2019s office market, now seven years old as estimated by stakeholders, may have years to go until it recedes.\nLimited office construction in the last decade has helped to hold down office vacancy rates in the tri-county market. A Cushman & Wakefield survey shows that third-quarter office vacancy rates fell year over year in all three counties. Third-quarter vacancy rates fell from 13.5 percent to 12.2 percent in Miami-Dade County, from 14 percent to 12.3 percent in Broward County and from 16.9 percent to 12.7 percent in Palm Beach.\nBut the economy still moves in cycles, and at the first whiff of a downturn, South Florida\u2019s cluster of co-working offices could look like a crowd.\n\u201cRight now, the demand still outpaces the supply, at least in the neighborhoods where we operate, and we haven\u2019t had to drop prices in any of our locations,\u201d said Michael Feinstein, founder and CEO of B\u00fcro, which has five Miami-area locations.\nB\u00fcro plans to build on its Miami-area base in southeast Broward County. In January, the co-working operator expects to start building out the interior of a 15,000-square-foot location in downtown Hollywood at 2031 Harrison Street. B\u00fcro and an Ecuador-based partner bought the building there in August from a municipal agency for $1.15 million. The new Hollywood location is expected to open by the fall of 2018.\nPipeline Workspaces also expanded north to Broward, where it opened a location in Fort Lauderdale in October 2016. The company opened its first co-working location in the Brickell area in 2012 and now has Miami-area locations in Coral Gables and Doral, too. In September, Pipeline opened its fifth Florida location, in Orlando.\nThe Pipeline client roster presents some evidence that not every corporate giant will opt for WeWork over smaller co-working companies. In its Coral Gables location, Pipeline houses corporate tenants Kayak, Postmates and Priceline.com.\nBut not every co-working operator in South Florida is looking to land big businesses. The Lab Miami is a five-year-old operator that has been content with its sole location at 400 Northwest 26th Street in Wynwood.\n\u201cWe started about five years ago with a grant from the Knight Foundation. They\u2019ve been our biggest supporter,\u201d said Rachel Bickford, managing director of The Lab Miami. \u201cWe don\u2019t have a business plan like WeWork where we want to be in every city in the world. We\u2019re just focused on growing the entrepreneurial ecosystem here in Miami.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "71-Year-Old Grandma Kicked Off Flight Over Seat Pocket Garbage\nA 71-year-old woman was told that she was banned from flying on Air Canada following a \"life-changing\" incident on a flight from Kelowna to New Brunswick. Ellen Flemming was returning home with her husband and two grandsons when she got into an argument with a flight attendant over some garbage that was left in the seat pocket.\n\u201cI went to put my water bottle into the pouch in front of me, and I put my hand in and pulled the pouch out, and my hand, my fingers went into this wet garbage,\u201d she said.\nFlemming asked a member of the flight crew to take the trash away and he told her: \"I'm a flight attendant, I don't do garbage.\"\nFlemming held onto the garbage until the flight attendant returned with the drink cart, which she says had a bin for trash. When she tried to place the garbage in the bin, Flemming claims that the flight attendant slapped her hand away causing the trash to go flying everywhere.\nFrustrated by her treatment, Flemming decided to use her foot to move the trash into the aisle, hoping that somebody from the flight crew would come by and clean it up. That set off the flight attendant who reportedly became \"irate\" and started screaming at Flemming.\nEventually, Flemming had enough so she just ignored the flight crew when they tried to speak to her. At that point, the pilot decided to divert the plane around and landed in Toronto, which was the nearest airport at the time. Flemming was removed from the plane by local police officers, while her husband and grandchildren returned home.\nAfter speaking with authorities she had to book another flight, but was told by a manager that \"You\u2019re not ever flying Air Canada again.\u201d She booked a trip on another airline and thought the ordeal was over. A few weeks later she received a letter from the airline accusing her of causing the incident.\nThe letter claimed that she \u201cexhibited aggressive behavior towards a crewmember; threw garbage on the food trolley; kicked a crewmember when requested to wait until the member could come back and pick up the garbage as he was serving food.\u201d\nFlemming says that is not what happened and has a sworn statement from another passenger detailing what transpired. She said that she is considering legal action against Air Canada.\n\u201cThere needs to be some accountability. Accountability for that flight attendant\u2019s behavior, for his actions, accountability for being the cause of a flight getting turned around,\u201d Flemming said.",

The annual list, in its eighth year dating back to 2009, was released May 16.\nNag was ranked No. 2 on the list, just behind composer, lyricist and performer Lin-Manuel Miranda. She was selected \u201cfor moving Apple into the doctor\u2019s office,\u201d according to the Fast Company piece.\nShe leads the team at Apple that created ResearchKit, an open-source developer toolbox that piggybacked on the company\u2019s HealthKit framework \u2014 which allows users to store and share health data \u2014 to allow doctors and researchers to create apps that make it easy to participate in medical research, Fast Company explained.\n\u201cThrough Apple\u2019s new CareKit tools, doctors can automatically alert outpatients when it\u2019s time to take their medications or exercise \u2014 while patients can reciprocate with continual updates on their condition,\u201d Fast Company wrote. \u201cDoctors and hospitals are already using CareKit apps to provide better care, staying in touch with post-surgery patients, and there are countless applications for monitoring diabetes, mental health, pregnancy and more,\u201d it added.\nNag dropped out of Stanford and founded Stem Cell Theranostics, a company dedicated toward revolutionizing the drug discovery process. Additionally, she founded StartX Med in 2012 and served as the chief product officer and head of network management and R&D at StartX.\nComing in at No. 10 on the list is Agarwal, who made the list \u201cfor extending Amazon\u2019s reach, one vendor at a time,\u201d Fast Company said. Agarwal has been a staple at Amazon since 1999. The IIT Kanpur and Stanford University graduate started with the e-commerce company as a software developer. Throughout his career he has held various roles, including managing director of the Bangalore-based development center, shadow and technical adviser to the CEO, vice president of international expansion and his current role of vice president and country manager at Amazon India.\n\u201cIn less than three years, Agarwal grew the division to become competitive with homegrown rivals Flipkart and Snapdeal, and is using the country\u2019s underdeveloped logistics and payment infrastructure to his advantage,\u201d Fast Company wrote. He has also established many \u201cIndia first\u201d innovations, it added.\nSan Francisco-based Kakul Srivastava was slotted in at No. 25 on Fast Company\u2019s list. The publication said she earned a spot \u201cfor seeing the people behind the code.\u201d The MIT and U.C. Berkeley graduate serves as the vice president of product management at GitHub, as well as on the Cure Violence advisory board. Previously, she served as CEO at Project Sublime, product manager at Adobe Systems and chief product officer at WeWork, as well as executive positions with Yahoo, Tiny Speck Inc., Tomfoolery Inc. and Flikr.\n\u201cHistorically, GitHub users have been engineers working together on open-source projects, but Srivastava is rethinking its capabilities for the masses, in an era when everyone from farmers to animators is learning to program,\u201d Fast Company wrote. Among her additions to the company are word processor-style editing tools and easier ways for members to help improve their code.\nYoga guru Baba Ramdev, who founded Haridwar, India-based Patanjali Ayurved in 2006, was No. 27 on the publication\u2019s most creative list. Fast Company slotted him in the top 30 \u201cfor disrupting India\u2019s $49 billion consumer packaged goods market.\u201d\nPatanjali Ayurved makes many products, including spices, soaps and cosmetics. Ramdev has helped expand the brand\u2019s product line and \u201cis making global firms like Procter & Gamble and Unilever squirm,\u201d it said.\nAt No. 65 on the Most Creative People in Business list was Mountain View, Calif.-based Confluent co-founder and chief technology officer Neha Narkhede. She made the list \u201cfor teaching businesses to read Kafka.\u201d\nAmong the companies who rely on software co-developed by Narkhede are Netflix and CA Technologies. The six-year-old Apache Kafka technology, which funnels data from disparate sources of information \u2014 web analytics, sales data and social media \u2014 into a single stream that employees can use to build or enhance their projects, has become \u201cso integral to the tech world that Silicon Valley engineers brandish Kafka expertise on their resumes,\u201d Fast Company said.\nProgress to protect Sikh history & students in CA\nMallika Sherawat shines at UNICEF Dinner During Cannes 2016",

        "raw_content": "Pictures, Research, Uncategorized\nPosted by Thomas DuBois on September 19, 2016\nFrom 15-18 September, the CUHK History and Anthropology AOE and Shaanxi Normal University arranged a field seminar in and around Xi\u2019an.\nThe itinerary was arranged by Micah Muscolino at Oxford, and took us to about 8 villages in Baishui \u767d\u6c34\u53bf and Chengcheng \u6f84\u57ce\u53bf Counties, along with a large scale water reclamation project, and two gorgeous temples.\nMost of what we were doing was to see the long history of terracing, which is a way of keeping the water in the soil, and keeping the soil in one spot. This is especially important in the \u201cYellow Earth\u201d region of central China, where the soil is notoriously soft and wispy. Besides the terraces, the most notable feature of the landscape is deep gullies, which are created from water erosion. Even with plant cover, the ground just doesn\u2019t want to stay still.\nOn the other hand, because the soil is so soft, it is really easy to work. People compress it into walls between fields to stop the wind, and famously dig houses (\u7a91\u6d1e) into the hillsides. Mao and the Yan\u2019an communists lived in these during the 1930s and 40s, and people think of it as a hardship. Surely it was, but the houses themselves are very comfortable \u2013 since the walls are two meters thick, the cave houses stay cool in summer and warm in winter.\nChinadevelopment\nPrevious Post Cinnamon rolls!\nNext Post abai \u963f\u62dc",

        "raw_content": "It\u2019s Coming\u2026 The Mental Health Revolution!\nA psychotherapist's plan to change the world, one mind at a time.\nIman L. Khan, LMHC, LPC, Mindfulness and Performance Coach, Psychotherapist, Lover of Learning\nThe best investment you will ever make!\n\u201cWhat do you do for a living\u2026?\u201d When I\u2019m asked this question, what follows, is almost always the same. A brief pause on my part, while I take a breath and prepare for the long pause on their part, once I answer. \u201cI am a psychotherapist.\u201d And then, crickets\u2026\nWhat usually comes next, is one of three things; a question, a statement, or an immediate change in subject. The questions are along the same lines; \u201cHave you been analyzing me?\u201d And, \u201cHow can you listen to messed up people all day?\u201d The statements range from, \u201cWow, I better stop talking to you now,\u201d to, \u201cI know someone who could really use your services!\u201d, followed by a loud uncomfortable chuckle. Even when people choose to change the subject, my response in all of these situations is the same. \u201cI approach things differently\u2026\u201d Though I am a licensed mental health professional, my private practice is devoted to changing the way our society perceives therapy and redesigning our approaches to mental health education and support.\nIn my practice, whether I am working one on one with someone, or in an executive leadership workshop, I rarely use the word therapy with my clients. I am a consultant, collaborating with clients to re-engineer their lives. From our first interaction, I begin planting the seeds of possibility; suggesting that seeking help does not indicate a weakness, but rather a sign of emotional intelligence and bravery. It\u2019s disempowering to give attention to pathology, so we focus on their patterns instead. This seems to provide people with a renewed sense of control. Many people who finally do seek out mental health services are already in a place where they perceive they have no control. Rarely will you hear me say the word problem or disorder because these words I\u2019ve observed, trigger a range of unhelpful interpretations, like \u201cOnly weak people have disorders\u201d and \u201cI can\u2019t believe it\u2019s gotten this bad I need to see a therapist!\u201d Once judgment of any kind is introduced, whether it be of one\u2019s self or others, we no longer become objective creators in our lives, but bias reactors instead. And because our brains are wired to relate information, great importance is placed on language and word meaning. So words like, problems, therapy, and diagnoses, seem to discourage people and put them on the defensive. Neither state is helpful in learning self-awareness and non-attachment. And these practices are essential in shifting one\u2019s perspective and re-wiring the brain to create new patterns of behaving and thinking that are more in alignment with their goals and values.\nBlooming Minds, my professional practice, is dedicated to changing lives, one mind at a time. I believe in empowering people to become curious, nonjudgmental explorers of their minds and their behavior. My goal is to revolutionize the way we think and approach mental health. In my opinion, the first step in doing so is creating a new conversation about it, using different words. I believe it is safe to say the model and approaches we have been using thus far, are not working. People are still not getting what they need and we are still experiencing the stigmatization of mental health and an over-reliance on psychotropic medications. We need new conceptualizations, a new language, and new approaches,\u2026 When we speak of pathology and disorder, the stigmatization takes over, which often keeps people from seeking tools to manage their stressors and address obstacles that are keeping them from practicing happiness. And happiness is a practice, not a privilege. We need to stop demonizing dysfunctional behavior and instead, view it merely as misdirected creative energy. Many of the people I work with are highly intelligent, creative individuals who developed unhelpful relational strategies for interacting with the world. What may have worked when they were children, no longer works as an adult. I keep a kaleidoscope on my desk to teach people how truly simple the basic theory of this work is. It\u2019s about looking at things differently. As we look through a kaleidoscope and turn it slightly, it offers a completely different view, a view that can be beautiful if we allow ourselves to see it from a non-judgmental place. Simply theory, though challenging in practice, which what keeps my job a secure one.\nThere is no shame in personal development work and there are no wrongs or rights. It\u2019s about identifying individual values, cultivating self-awareness, and viewing our patterns from a different angle. It from a place of neutrality and clarity that we can determine what is working for us and what isn\u2019t. In partnership with my clients, we create opportunities to experience and practice behavior and thinking patterns that align with their goals and values and create solid happiness practices. We do so through self-exploration, value clarification, and non-judgment. We add in humor, creative expression activities, and connected, community building workshops and one is well on their way to experiencing \u201cre-engineering,\u201d formally known as therapy, at a whole new level. People begin to experience the positive effects of joining the Blooming Minds revolution. The revolution where minds bloom and fear and stigmatization subsides.\nIman is a Mindfulness and Performance Coach, Psychotherapist and Mediator. She has a private practice called Blooming Minds in Wisconsin and New York, with over 22 years of experience working with individuals, organizations, artists and athletes in the field of mind/body wellness, leadership development, performance, organizational change and administration.

Historically, Heliocentrism was opposed to geocentrism, which placed the Earth at the center. The notion that the Earth revolves around the Sun had been proposed as early as the 3rd century BC by Aristarchus of Samos,[2] but at least in the medieval world, Aristarchus's Heliocentrism attracted little attention\u2014possibly because of the loss of scientific works of the Hellenistic Era.[3]\nIt was not until the 16th century that a geometric mathematical model of a heliocentric system was presented, by the Renaissance mathematician, astronomer, and Catholic cleric Nicolaus Copernicus, leading to the Copernican Revolution. In the following century, Johannes Kepler elaborated upon and expanded this model to include elliptical orbits, and Galileo Galilei presented supporting observations made using a telescope.\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heliocentrism",

Hewlett-Packard Co.\u2019s decision to fire CEO Leo Apotheker after just 11 months and replace him with former eBay chief Meg Whitman is another dizzying turn of the executive merry-go-round at a company whose leadership issues are straining a sprawling technology empire.\nSwapping Apotheker, who has now been ousted from two high-profile CEO jobs in two years, for Whitman is a decision designed to stem investor fury over a series of questionable strategy moves.\nApotheker was doomed by disappointing earnings and his fumbled announcement that HP\u2019s personal computer division is for sale.

Whitman was on the call, but Apotheker was not. \u201cThen you have to make the tough call of, how long do you go along with that? Do you help? Do you surround? Or do you replace?\u201d\nWhitman is a billionaire who is best known for the decade she spent building eBay and her unsuccessful run last year for California governor.\nHer star power could be an asset for a company that struggled to gain credibility under Apotheker, who was previously little-known outside of the business-software world. HP is no stranger to celebrity CEOs. But Carly Fiorina\u2019s run at the company\u2019s helm, from 1999 to 2005, ended in shambles.\nDespite Whitman\u2019s success at eBay, she is untested when it comes to running a company that is in as many businesses as HP. Another turnaround effort earlier in her career, at FTD, the iconic flower-delivery company, ended with Whitman quitting after two years and declaring that the company is \u201cnot fixable.\u201d Many analysts have said the same thing about HP in its current form.\nOn Thursday, she defended her predecessor\u2019s most controversial moves. She said a decision on PC division\u2019s fate will be made by the end of the year.\nAnalysts are mixed about her prospects.\n\u201cShe built up a one-trick pony, an online auction site, and she oversaw the growth of the company, but we are talking about a situation where someone needs to come in who has a technological background, an engineering and scientific background,\u201d said Steve Diamond, an associate professor at Santa Clara University School of Law. \u201cAnd that is way outside of her skill set.\u201d\nDiamond said the decision to change CEOs so soon points to continued disarray on HP\u2019s board, long a target of critics for the chaos it\u2019s caused at one of Silicon Valley\u2019s oldest and largest companies. Infighting and ego-driven drama has long plagued the board, from revelations in 2006 that HP had spied on directors and journalists to ferret out the source of leaks, to last year\u2019s dismissal of CEO Mark Hurd in an ethics scandal.\n\u201cThere\u2019s no question the board is off the rails ? they need a smaller, tighter board that\u2019s committed to the idea of what the company does,\u201d Diamond said. \u201cBut they have a lot of people on the board from different industries. The tough job will be getting the board on board.\u201d\nWhitman\u2019s appointment Thursday was Silicon Valley\u2019s worst-kept secret. Deliberations leaked out a day earlier to the delight of investors, who drove up HP\u2019s stock and apparently gave HP\u2019s board the push it needed to oust Apotheker.\nHP\u2019s board met Thursday to finalize the change, having decided that Apotheker had lost the board\u2019s confidence in his ability to lead HP long-term, a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press. This person was not authorized to speak on behalf of HP and spoke on the condition of anonymity.\nLane, the HP chairman, defended Apotheker\u2019s firing and Whitman\u2019s quick selection.\nThe board \u201cobjectively evaluated whether he was the right guy to operate the business, and we came to the conclusion that he was not,\u201d he said on the conference call. \u201cAnd we chose someone who is a great operator, who executed in her business for years and has a track record of leadership. I can\u2019t think of a name out there over Meg that I would pick to be CEO of this company.\u201d\nApotheker was also forced to resign from HP\u2019s board. Lane\u2019s position has been elevated. He was non-executive chairman. He is now executive chairman.\nAn HP spokesman said that Apotheker, Whitman and Lane were not immediately available for interviews.\nWhitman\u2019s likely arrival was greeted warmly on Wednesday, when investors drove the stock up more than 7 percent on reports she was being considered for the job. But most of those gains evaporated Thursday, when fears set in that the company\u2019s strategy is still in need of repair.\nCathie Lesjak, HP\u2019s chief financial officer, added to those fears when she disclosed that she isn\u2019t sure HP can hit its revenue target of $32.1 billion to $32.5 billion in the quarter ending Oct. 31. She reaffirmed earnings guidance. She blamed weakness across consumer and commercial markets, particularly in Europe.\nHP\u2019s stock fell $1.18, or 4.9 percent, to close at $22.80 on Thursday. It fell another 7 cents in after-hours trading. The declines were worse than the overall market. The Dow Jones industrial average plunged 391 points, or 3.5 percent, on worries that the global economy is headed for another recession.\nBoosting HP\u2019s sagging stock price will be an urgent problem for Whitman.\nHP\u2019s market value has dropped by $60 billion since CEO Mark Hurd was forced out in August of last year over an ethical scandal. Hurd\u2019s departure set the stage for Apotheker\u2019s appointment as CEO and Lane\u2019s appointment as chairman.\nProving she can instill order in a disordered company is another pressing issue.\nEBay, when Whitman inherited it, was a star on the rise. HP is struggling with bloat and hasn\u2019t decided on a clear direction. It knows it wants to be more like IBM Corp., but has a long way to go to complete the transformation.\nSteering a startup through a period of growth is markedly different from running an established company that\u2019s fallen on hard times, experts say.\nWhitman touted her business credentials on the campaign trail in her unsuccessful California gubernatorial bid. She spent more than any candidate for a statewide office in U.S. history on the campaign ?at least $174 million, most of it her own money.\nShe became a respected executive for her work at eBay, transforming it from a website with a few dozen employees and less than $100 million in revenue into an industry heavyweight with thousands of workers and billions in sales.\nBut her record as CEO also includes a lesser-known episode that paints a different picture of her abilities to quell a company in disarray. Whitman\u2019s time at FTD in the 1990s was her most high-profile turnaround attempt. It did not end well.\nWhitman has rarely spoken about her time at FTD. It\u2019s an imperfect comparison to HP, but Whitman was brought in to the company in 1995 by her former colleagues at investment firm Bain & Co. to spearhead a major transformation. She was supposed to stay five years, but ended up quitting after two, citing investors\u2019 unrealistic goals.\n\u201cThis company is not fixable, at least not by me,\u201d Whitman wrote in her book, \u201cThe Power of Many.\u201d She calls her tenure there \u201cprobably the most frustrating and, ultimately, least successful executive experience of my career.\u201d\nOther types of concerns have been raised about Whitman.\nShe was named to HP\u2019s board this year as part of a sweeping overhaul under Apotheker and Lane. They were supposed to be steadying hands. But almost immediately, corporate governance experts began crying foul. They took issue with the fact Whitman\u2019s hiring by esteemed venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, where Lane works, was announced a week after she was formally elected to HP\u2019s board.\nSeveral unflattering incidents helped scuttle her gubernatorial campaign.\nShe was revealed to have shoved an eBay employee during a disagreement, which led to a six-figure settlement. Whitman said the altercation was an anomaly and taught her to always be professional. It was also revealed that her former housekeeper of nine years was an illegal immigrant.\nTo complicate matters further, Whitman was a board member at Goldman Sachs when it allegedly engaged in the now-illegal practice called \u201cspinning,\u201d in which wealthy clients and CEOs whose companies did business with Goldman received early access to IPO shares, which they flipped quickly for large profits. Whitman said she forfeited the $1.8 million she made from the deals in a lawsuit she settled with eBay shareholders.\nAssociated Press writer Juliet Williams in Sacramento and AP Business Writer Chip Cutter in New York contributed to this report.\nCompanies can have a great and cheap holiday party\nSteve Martin tweets coming in book form",

        "raw_content": "Recently, Walmart released a summary of its eleventh annual Global Responsibility Report (GRR), highlighting the company\u2019s progress and accomplishments in fiscal year 2018 to increase economic opportunity, enhance sustainability of supply chains and strengthen local communities.\nWalmart has made significant progress towards ambitious goals set more than a decade ago including to be powered by 100% renewable energy, create zero waste and sell products that sustain people and the environment. The company has further broadened its bold aspirations, marking a number of milestones in fiscal year 2018, including: significant investments in higher wages, training and increased parental leave for associates; a collaborative initiative with suppliers across the value chain to remove one billion metric tons, or one gigaton, of emissions by 2030 known as Project Gigaton; and further collaborations with suppliers, nonprofit organizations and others to combat forced labor in the global supply chain.\nMilestones and progress outlined in the 2018 Global Responsibility Report Summary \u2014 regarding sustainability \u2014 include:\nIncreasing Renewable Energy Portfolio: Walmart has set a goal to be powered by 50% renewable sources by 2025, and has currently achieved 28%, making the goal well on track toward on-time completion.\nReducing emissions in Walmart\u2019s Supply Chain: Launched in 2017, Project Gigatonstrives to reduce emissions from the collective value chain \u2013 Walmart\u2019s supply chain and the supply chain of its suppliers \u2013 by a total of one gigaton by 2030. To date, more than 400 suppliers have signed on and within the first year of reporting, more than 200 of these suppliers reported emissions reductions that totaled over 20 million metric tons.\nWorking to Zero Waste: By the end of FY2018, 78% of Walmart\u2019s global waste was successfully diverted from landfill.\nEnhancing the Environmental Sustainability of Key Commodities: Walmart is committed to source 100% of its seafood from suppliers and fisheries that are third-party certified as sustainable, actively working toward certification, or engaged in Fishery Improvement Projects. Last year, Walmart achieved this goal of 100% certified for its wild-caught fish, and 98% through farmed fish, with the final 2% having plans in place to obtain certification.\nWalmart in the News\nIn April, Walmart announced plans to double its electric vehicle charging stations, adding several hundred charging stalls across operations in 34 US states.\nOnce the expansion is completed, Walmart will have more than 1,000 electric vehicle charging units, making the retailer one of the nation\u2019s leading EV charging station hosts, the company says. The effort is expected to create a national grid of electric vehicle charging availability at hundreds of Walmart stores and Sam\u2019s Club locations.\nAnd in January, the retail giant announced that one of Alabama\u2019s largest solar facilities will provide power to Walmart in an effort to help the retailer meet its renewable energy goals.\nAlabama Solar A, as it\u2019s called, is a 72 MW facility was built by Swinerton Renewable Energy, based in San Diego. According to solarindustrymag.com, Alabama Power is marketing the remaining energy and renewable energy attributes from the project to other customers interested in supporting new renewable generation in the state.\nPackaging analysts applaud Amazon\u2019s new incentive program\nPerhaps the biggest packaging news of the year\u2014which broke Tues., Sept. 18\u2014is Am\u2026",

        "title": "Ep 95: Does Technical Analysis Work When Trading Stocks & Why? -",
        "raw_content": "Ep 95: Does Technical Analysis Work When Trading Stocks & Why?\nHey, his is Sasha Evdakov and welcome to another episode of let\u2019s talk stocks, episode number 95, in this week\u2019s episode I ask the question of does technical analysis work? And why does it work?\nFor some of you who are a little more skeptical about technical analysis or are just getting into technical analysis, I want to share with you the concept of technical analysis and why it really kind of works out in the favor or the trade or in favor of the stock movements and the way that they move.\nIn general, when we look at investing, we\u2019re looking to put some money into something, and then, in the end, we hope to get back more than what we put in. Whether that\u2019s two times, three times, four times, five times, whatever it is.\nYou put a certain amount of cash into an investment, and you hope to get more money out of it through a passive means, or appreciation, through dividends, through other methods, so this could be through stocks, it could be through buying antique cars and holding on to antique cars, there\u2019s a lot of forms of investing. In either case, you put some money in, and you hope to get more money out later.\nThere\u2019s a couple of ways to do this when you\u2019re looking at stocks, and one of the ways, one of the more common approaches is through fundamental analysis. So with structural analysis, you\u2019re looking at company health.\nWhen you look at company health, you\u2019re looking more along the lines of the balance sheet, for example, things like how are the company earning its money, are the earnings increasing? How are the product sales? How are the active users? What are they spending money on?\nFor example, if their spending is greater than the money that they\u2019re making, that\u2019s probably a bad sign, but if they\u2019re using it to invest and grow their product line, then it might be ok.\nBut in either case, you\u2019re looking at a baseline of how the company\u2019s health looks under the company itself. How the company operates, so that\u2019s fundamental analysis.\nAnd this is the way most people approach investing in stock; they\u2019re looking at a company\u2019s health. If you have seen the show Jim Cramer\u2019s mad money, he\u2019s more of a fundamentalist. He\u2019ll look at things more on a fundamental basis on a company scope.\nThe second approach to investing is you\u2019re looking more at technical analysis, which is what we\u2019re talking about. And with technical analysis, you\u2019re looking to predict future prices, based on two main things, and that is price history, and volume. Those are the main factors.\nA lot of the other things that go with technical analysis are based upon the price and the volume. So even if you look at MACD, stochastics, moving averages, all of those things are based on the price and the volume.\nThat\u2019s why I emphasize a lot of price and volume, if you look at some of my charts and my other recaps about trading, a lot of it has to do with price and volume. Because if you understand price and volume, you can use the other indicators as well, because they all stand and drive things from that.\nThe goal is the same\nBut in either case the goal is the same, whether you\u2019re looking for technical analysis or you\u2019re looking at fundamental analysis, the goal is still the same, you\u2019re taking the money, and you\u2019re investing it, and you\u2019re hoping to get more money at some time at a later date.\nA lot of people can understand why fundamental analysis works, because if you have accompanied that\u2019s in good health, if you have a balance sheet that\u2019s in good standings, if you have great active users, good revenue coming in, if they\u2019re spending less than what they\u2019re making, and the company is growing, then it\u2019s easy to see why that company, those earnings would increase in the future as well.\nWith technical analysis, because it\u2019s not something we\u2019re typically used to, as we grow up as a child, into adolescence and then into the mid-20s and so forth, we\u2019re not always aware of how technical analysis plays a role.\nIt\u2019s something that we as stock traders get put into, and we are aware of this concept, and then it\u2019s put into our lap, and then we wonder why does it work? And does it actually work?\nFrom my standpoint, it does work, and the reason for that, the central core of why technical analysis works is because of crowd behavior, crowd psychology and the law of supply and demand.\nIf you want to take a look a little bit more about the psychology of how things work and evolve, there \u2018a really simple and easy to understand video, it\u2019s called, \u201cThe first follower\u201d and you can look it up on YouTube, and it\u2019s basically a guy that\u2019s dancing at this park.\nIt\u2019s really about a lesson on leadership. Search for it on YouTube, and it\u2019s got millions of views. But really what happens in this video, and I\u2019ll explain it on a timeline.\nIf we look at a timeline, what happens in the video is we have this going from one minute to 5 minutes.\nInitially what happens is, there\u2019s a guy that\u2019s dancing out there. So initially he\u2019s just the first one, that\u2019s him just dancing wild, crazy, whatever, he\u2019s doing his thing, he\u2019s dancing out on the field.\nEventually, with time, he gets a second person, which is the first follower, hence the name of the video.\nOver time again a little bit later, you have a mother person joining in, so now you have those two people, plus you have a third person, which backs up that first follower.\nAfter a while this continues to grow, so now people feel more comfortable, it\u2019s kind of like social proof that happens online. So now you have a group of people that joined in, maybe two or three people.\nAnd this kind of continues, until eventually most of everybody else joins the party, and you have now a more significant group and people joining in, and then more and more people continue to participate until pretty much everybody at the party, or everybody on the field, mostly everybody actually goes up and starts dancing. They\u2019re not worried about it.\nWhen you\u2019re first initially getting started, it\u2019s tough, it\u2019s difficult to move that stock, and then eventually you have another person that comes into fuel that stock, then more and more people start to come in and more and more people come in as they start hopping into the stock, and the stock keeps moving.\nThe way that this works is due to the supply and demand. So what is demand? Demand is buyers. Supply are sellers.\nSellers are selling the stock, buyers are buying the stock, so as you have one person coming in, he\u2019s a buyer, but initially that stock, if you look at a chart, initially that stock starts to kind of move to the upside.\nYou have that one initial buyer, and it\u2019s not a lot of buyers, it\u2019s just one buyer. So it starts to move up, and when you get the second person, now you get maybe, this one might be just a scalper.\nThen the second buyer, or a few more buyers, so you can multiply this times, let\u2019s says 100 people or 100 shares, or 1000 shares, depending on the stock that you\u2019re trading.\nFirst, you\u2019ll get the scalpers coming in and the day traders, and then you might get some more value buyers coming in. So this would be somewhere on the second stage, you got value buyers stepping in.\nThen you go again, a couple more people start coming in, you got social proof, this stock is starting to head higher, looks to be like there\u2019s momentum, there\u2019s the fuel behind the stock, so you have again, more people coming in.\nThere\u2019s not enough space for everybody\nThis continues to go and move up until you get to a certain point, where this kind of starts to top off because it starts to look little stretched.\nIf you\u2019re dancing in a little room, there\u2019s only so much space that there is on the dance floor. So when some people leave the dance floor, then you can step in and get on the dance floor, because there\u2019s only so much space.\nSame thing if you have a line at a wedding for getting food, they usually release you table by table to get your food, so as you have people coming in, and you have the tables over here and all these different tables, they might have table one and two go, and then later you have table three and four go, and that is only because there\u2019s just an abundance of food, but there\u2019s not enough space. There\u2019s not enough space to have everybody go through.\nThat\u2019s the thing if everybody is jumping in right away, it\u2019s going to fuel that stock, it\u2019s going to be crazy, it\u2019s going to spike big. And what does that mean? Well, how does that proof come in?\nIt\u2019s due to the volume, so as you start looking at it. Initially, you might have a small little volume spike, later as you continue, that volume spike might grow even more significant.\nAs more people come in, they fuel that stock, and then again, you get even more volume that will come in. And this creates a proof within that stock, within the stock that\u2019s moving.\nAs that stock starts to pull back, and as we come back into this price level because as this line opens up or the dance floor opens up, as we have an opening in space, that volume might start to get weaker.\nAs that volume gets weaker, that\u2019s good, that\u2019s healthy, that\u2019s a normal pullback, because now the space opens up, now the prices are not too high, then you have more value buyers stepping in, scalpers coming in, day traders, swing traders coming in, and they say, ok, this level is a good buy.\nSo then what happens to the stock again? Well, again, the volume starts to pick up, and then when the volume picks up, that stock continues to head higher.\nYou can see the volume much more significant than before when you compare these two volumes, it\u2019s a lot lager, and that\u2019s what continues to fuel the stock.\nStock movement is based on crowd behavior\nWhat does this mean? This means that a stock is different for everybody at various points, and it\u2019s all based on that crowd behavior. Some people, like if we look at this person over here won\u2019t join in until later, until the bounce, until this price level right here, until that stock bounces.\nOther people might be all the way over here. They might be the early people, so for you, you\u2019re looking at the crowd behavior, the crowd psychology, how is that stock moving based on the crowd?\nThe issue here is when we have this support and resistance, how it\u2019s being created, is again, if there are enough people that are willing to step in on the dance floor or still enough people to get food, then that food will always be there, the dancing will keep happening.\nBut the minute there\u2019s not enough people, with crowd behavior, the minute the people get tired of dancing; the people don\u2019t want to get any more food, because there are not more people, that stock will continue selling off.\nThe volume will give you signs\nThis is when you look at the volume it\u2019s going to tell you some key sings. So if you start seeing more selling, if you start seeing larger volume as that stock is selling off, that\u2019s why volume is important, it\u2019s the number of shares traded. As you start seeing that and that stock rolls over, that\u2019s where that support is going to break.\nThe same thing happens on the resistance level, so if you see it selling off substantially at a resistance level, then again, you\u2019re looking at the volume, and if volume confirms that, you\u2019ll see it selling off further.\nBut it comes down to the key principle here, the key point is this social and crowd behavior, it\u2019s all about the buyers and the sellers.\nIt\u2019s probably really simple for you to evaluate a dance floor, so for looking here at a dance floor to see, ok, when are people getting tired? Or based on the song, when they\u2019re going to sit down at a wedding. Or when you look at the food, the amount of food that\u2019s left or remaining, and the number of tables that still have to get their food.\nIt\u2019s easy for you to see that, because you\u2019ve seen in happen, it\u2019s something you deal with on a day to day basis. You look at the food, and you see what\u2019s left over for your family, for yourself, how much leftovers you\u2019re going to have for tomorrow.\nAnd the same thing if you go to a wedding or a buffet or the amount of space or sitting there is at a seminar, or at a restaurant, if they\u2019re full, you\u2019re going to have to wait, because they only have so many tables and once somebody leaves, then another person comes back in. The volume, the number of people that are sitting here waiting to go in, is going to continue fueling that restaurant.\nThe same thing here, when we\u2019re looking at a stock, if there are people still coming back into the restaurant, it\u2019s going to fuel it higher. And then a person or two or some people leave, then again, more people will come in because there are still buyers on the sideline. There are still people looking to get in at those different time slots. And then again, people are leaving.\nBut once it hits, let\u2019s say 11 o\u2019clock at night, or something like that, everybody is out, they are gone, they want to go home, they want to go to sleep unless it\u2019s a club.\nBut otherwise, at midnight, think of it like Cinderella, they\u2019re gone, they\u2019re out, and that\u2019s when the selling takes place.\nThis concept you can look at it from an intraday standpoint, meaning it happens on an intraday basis, it happens on a daily basis, a weekly basis, a monthly basis, and the longer the timeframe you\u2019re looking at, the more concrete the support and resistance line is.\nIt\u2019s all about human behavior\nAll of these things, when we look at the price action, when we look at the movement of the stock, comes down to this, comes down to the crowd behavior, the psychology behind it, it\u2019s all about human behavior.\nAnd it works, and that\u2019s why the support and resistance work because people come in, they want to value by. Or you go to a restaurant, and you love that place, are you willing to wait 5 minutes to get a sit or 10 minutes?\nProbably because it\u2019s not worth it to go someplace else, it\u2019s not worth the time or effort or energy because you\u2019re hungry.\nSame thing here, you\u2019re hungry for an investment, to make cash, to make money, to do something with your money, so you\u2019re looking at a good entry point, you get in, something that\u2019s reasonable, reasonable price, and that\u2019s what continues to move the stock.\nThat\u2019s how it works, and all these patterns, no matter what pattern you\u2019re looking at, whether you\u2019re looking at triangle patterns, support and resistance, which are the basics when you look at those, it\u2019s all about that crowd behavior, the crowd psychology.\nYou\u2019re looking at value, Fibonacci, the same thing, when a stock sells off 50%, typical retracement as I always like to say, it\u2019s 50%, and nothing is wrong with the stock.\nIf you have a stock that\u2019s up here, and it went all the way from here to here, and it pulls back to 50%, there\u2019s nothing wrong with that stock because then it can continue to bounce and move higher, because now you have people coming in at a value.\nThey want to get that investment. And that\u2019s how all of this technical analysis works. And this is why it works; it\u2019s because of the crowd behavior and the crowd psychology.",

In all of these instances we concluded that the communication was a scam.\nIf you are questioning the validity of any communication received from the Canada Revenue Agency, whether it be regarding a tax debt or refund, we recommend that you review your account online through My Account or My Business Accounts. If you have not yet set up an online account with the Canada Revenue Agency you can also call Personal Income Tax Inquiries at 1-800-959-8281 or Business Inquiries at 1-800-959-5525.\nThe Canada Revenue Agency is well aware of these and other communication scams. Please visit the Canada Revenue Agency\u2019s webpage that discusses these scams. We recommend that you take a few minutes and watch the Canada Revenue Agency\u2019s video on this topic.\nPosted in Corporate Tax, Personal Tax, Uncategorized\nTags: tax return\nForeign Income Verification Statement\nForm T1135 \u2013 Foreign Income Verification Statement \u2013 is required to be completed if a resident (i.e. individual or corporation) of Canada owned specified foreign property with a combined tax cost of more than $100,000 at any time during the year.\nSpecified foreign property includes foreign bank accounts, non-Canadian investment accounts, share in foreign companies (regardless whether shares are held through a Canadian brokerage firm), foreign rental and investment properties. Specified foreign property does not include personal use property (i.e. vacation property), listed personal property (i.e. artwork, jewelry, coin collection) and property held in a registered account (i.e. RRSP, RRIF or TFSA).\nThis reporting is required even if the specified foreign property earned no income during the year.\nFor the 2014 and later taxation years, the Canada Revenue Agency has revised the reporting requirements. One significant change is that specified foreign properties for which a taxpayer receives a T3 or T5 slip were previously exempted from this reporting. These investments must now be reported in the 2014 and later taxation years.\nFor those taxpayers with specified foreign property (i.e. shares in foreign corporations) held in an account with a Canadian registered securities dealer or Canadian trust company, the revised reporting requires taxpayers to report for each investment the country of investment, highest fair market value during the 2014 taxation year, fair market value at the end of the year and gross revenue. This information may be aggregated on a country by country basis.\nThe failure to file and false statement and omission penalties are significant.\nThe filing deadline for the foreign verification statement is the same as the filing deadline for your tax return. For individuals the deadline is April 30, 2015 if you or your spouse/common law partner were not self-employed during the 2014 taxation year and June 15, 2015 if you or your spouse/common law partner were self-employed during the 2014 taxation year.\nFor additional information on this reporting requirement please refer to the Canada Revenue Agency\u2019s website.\nWe are requesting that all of our clients consider whether this reporting requirement applies to them, contact their investment advisor to discuss and contact Trout Lake Group before February 27, 2015 with any questions or concerns that they may have.\nPosted in Corporate Tax, Important Dates, Personal Tax, Uncategorized\nOur office will close at 4:00pm on Monday, December 23rd and will re-open on Friday, January 3rd.\nMerry Christmas and Happy New Year from all of us at Trout Lake Group!",

        "title": "Monday Morning Quarterback - Teen Titans: The Judas Contract | The Two-Headed Nerd Comic Book Podcast",
        "raw_content": "Monday Morning Quarterback \u2013 Teen Titans: The Judas Contract\nPosted by Ryan Mount | Apr 30, 2017 | Features, Monday Morning Quarterback | 0 |\nMonday Morning Quarterback: A Review of Teen Titans: The Judas Contract\nBy Ryan \u201cHB\u201d Mount\nLast season, the Chicago Cubs ended the season as the MLB Champions. It can always be exciting to win something large in sports, but this was special. The Chicago Cubs had not won a championship since 1908. They also trailed 3-1 in a best of seven series, and came back to capture the title. And if that wasn\u2019t historic enough, there was a rain delay that stopped play in the last and final innings while the Cubs seemed to be on the ropes. This all led to an incredible ending and the Chicago Cubs capturing the pennant.\nWhat if you skipped all those impossible odds in retelling the story and jumped straight to the ending? It would sell the event totally short and come across as flat.\nWell, DC skipped straight to the end of Chicago Cubs World Series victory and they called it The Judas Contract.\nDC Animation betrayed (pun intended) the story and the fans with this newest installment into their animated movie franchise. Mainly because they cut out the events of Tales of the Teen Titans #44, the penultimate chapter to the story.\nDeathtstroke has been one of DC\u2019s most valuable villains. Since 2011, DC\u2019s has published more than 50 issues of his solo adventures alone and the character has appeared several times in the CW Arrowverse on television. Why would the writers and producers of this movie cut out the entire sequence of Slade Wilson\u2019s origin story? The only argument one could make was that Slade\u2019s origin was originally tied to the Korean War. However, nothing in particular ties him to that specific era. Marvel did it with the Punisher, updating his origin from Vietnam to the Gulf War, and there is not a single reasonable explanation why they could not do it here.\nOne of the through lines of the comic version was Dick Grayson\u2019s transition from Robin to Nightwing. While Nightwing was established in DC animated movie continuity long ago, why couldn\u2019t this story have been set in the past? They could have kept Cyborg on the team, since most people still associate him with the Titans. Or if DC is willing to do standalone films like The Killing Joke, why not make this a standalone film as well? Nope. Instead, we get Nightwing five minutes into the film with no mention of him ever being Robin. Then we get Damien as Robin which simply does not add to the story and makes it more convoluted.\nIt is very hard to put aside the source material in comparison; The Judas Contract remains one of my all-time favorite comic arcs. I had to go back and re-read the issues after the film. One thing the comics did so well, and where the movie faltered, was that whether you were a long-time Titans fan or a new reader, you could have jumped in with the first issue of the comic and were given reason to care about each one of the Titans with 1-2 pages for each character. Finally, Raven\u2019s distrust of Terra and Terra\u2019s paranoia and anger towards Raven should have been a spotlight in this film, but it was glossed over.\nNone of the emotional beats from the original story are there.\nSetting aside the source material, we are still left with some other questions? Was it well done? Was it entertaining?\nThe animation was lazy and cheaply done. While most fans are desperate for a return of the Justice League or Young Justice styles, this just looked bad. There were times when characters\u2019 faces looked unfinished and rushed. There are certain parts of this story that needed to be shine, mainly the design and look of Terra who is billed as a member of the Titans and Deathstroke\u2019s love interest. However, she was made to look too young, especially in contrast to her male love interest. It came across as creepy and I would be uncomfortable showing this to any child. If this movie was made for kids they did a terrible job and if this movie was made for fans of the comic, then see the beginning part of this review to see how they did there. (Spoiler: Not Great.) [EDITOR\u2019S NOTE: the creepy romance between old-as-heck Deathstroke and jailbait Terra is definitely a key element of the original story, so be careful what you wish for I guess.]\nThere was some dialogue that felt like nails on a chalkboard. I gave it the benefit of the doubt and thought they maybe pulled from the source material which was written a long time ago and sometimes could come across flat in a modern context. That was not the case \u2013 it was just poor dialogue. The prime examples of this came from Deathstroke and the opening sequence where Beast Boy explains to everyone that he is sending out \u201cTwits.\u201d The dialogue set me up to be disappointed from the start.\nEven after all that, it comes down to whether or not I was entertained. I watch a lot of wrestling and it does not always have to be good if it does its job of keeping me interested in the story. I must have checked my clock at least four times during this 72-minute film that cut out a huge chunk of story. Was I entertained? No.\nAfter Justice League Dark, there was a lot of excitement based around this film and had I really hoped this would have been a true righting of the ship, but I am now left wondering if I would have had more fun if I had just watched The Jetsons & WWE: Robo-Wrestlemania.\nRating: SKIP IT.\nDid you love this movie? Make sure to call in to Two-Headed Nerd: Cover to Cover this Saturday at 402-819-4894 and tell us why you loved it. Or maybe Joe and Matt will have you on The Defenders segment. That is for them to figure out, I just work here.

Coghlan, Jr.\nAssociate Professor of Freshwater Fisheries Ecology\nStephen.Coghlan@maine.edu\nDr. Coghlan joined the faculty of the Wildlife Ecology Department in September 2006, with research interests encompassing individual- and community-level processes relating to applied fisheries ecology and management. He is working closely with state and federal agencies in building a collaborative research program around issues important to the ecology and management of Maine\u2019s freshwater fish and aquatic habitats, focusing on the interactive ecology of native and exotic species, the effects of land-use patterns on aquatic communities and habitats, niche partitioning and interspecific competition, and bioenergetic implications of resource selection. Specifically, current research projects include the interactive ecology of smallmouth bass, Atlantic and landlocked salmon, and brook trout; effects of dam removal on fish community structure and function of the Sedgeunkedunk Stream watershed; effects of riparian forest structure on brook trout bioenergetics in the Northern Forest; utility of CWD placement and fish relocation in conserving headwater populations brook trout; reconstructing migratory history of putative anadromous brook trout in Acadia National Park; and migratory ecology of riverine populations of round whitefish. Dr. Coghlan teaches courses in Freshwater Fisheries Management and Statistical Ecology, and is the faculty advisor for the university\u2019s Student Subunit of the American Fisheries Society and the departmental Graduate Student Seminar Committee.\nHis undergraduate and graduate studies at the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry focused on the juvenile ecology of landlocked Atlantic salmon in Lake Ontario tributaries, including competition with exotic salmonines, bioenergetics, feeding patterns, and demographic responses along pollution and landscape gradients. He also studied the distribution and abundance of fish and insects across central New York streams and Adirondack ponds, and taught courses in fisheries biology, ichthyology, aquatic entomology, and Adirondack field ecology. As a post-doctoral researcher, Dr. Coghlan and colleagues at Arkansas State University used otolith chemistry to infer life-history, migratory patterns, and population structure of trout in Arkansas tailwaters, and have applied these techniques towards investigating natal homing in mayflies.\nCoghlan CV",

Narration provided by JaM Advertising New Mexico www.tasteofjam.com When people think of climate change they imagine the whole world getting hotter evenly all over, but this simply isn't the case, and while some areas will experience a huge increase in temperatures, others are going to see the exact opposite take place. Sea levels have continued to rise for some time now thanks to the continued melting of Earth's giant icy fedora; Antarctica. With hundreds of millions of people fleeing their homes to escape the encroaching ocean, future mass migration is inevitable. Yep, this is literally the worst one on the list. Do you hate the sight of sobbing children covered in flies staring forlornly at an empty sack of grain? The World Bank estimates that Earth's poorest countries will need around $100billion dollars a year to help offset the impacts of climate change, but what if your country elects a delightful far-right leader who says screw em, we'll look after our own, and refuses to pay out? Corn, barley and wheat are all used to create beer, so when these crops become more difficult to grow, they become much more expensive.

Although the increase of near-surface atmospheric temperature is the measure of global warming often reported in the popular press, most of the additional energy stored in the climate system since 1970 has gone into ocean warming. The remainder has melted ice and warmed the continents and atmosphere. Many of the observed changes since the 1950s are unprecedented over decades to millennia.\nScientific understanding of global warming is increasing. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reported in 2014 that scientists were more than 95% certain that global warming is mostly being caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHG) and other human (anthropogenic) activities.Climate model projections summarized in the report indicated that during the 21st century the global surface temperature is likely to rise a further 0.3 to 1.7 \u00b0C (0.5 to 3.1 \u00b0F) for their lowest emissions scenario using stringent mitigation and 2.6 to 4.8 \u00b0C (4.7 to 8.6 \u00b0F) for their highest. These findings have been recognized by the national science academies of the major industrialized nations and are not disputed by any scientific body of national or international standing.\nThis page contains text from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia - https://wn.com/Global_warming\nGlobal warming is one of the common names for the current change in Earth's climate.\nGlobal warming may also refer to:\nGlobal Warming (Pitbull album), a 2011 music album by Pitbull\nGlobal Warming (Sonny Rollins album), a 1998 music album by Sonny Rollins\nGlobal warming game, several games based on the concept\nThis page contains text from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia - https://wn.com/Global_warming_(disambiguation)\nGlobal Warming is an album by jazz saxophonist Sonny Rollins, released on the Milestone label in 1998, featuring performances by Rollins with Stephen Scott, Bob Cranshaw, Idris Muhammad, Clifton Anderson, Victor See Yuen and Perry Wilson.\nThe Allmusic review by Cub Koda states: \"Rollins' blowing is impassioned throughout and the surroundings are nice and intimate, making this a very inspired set.\"\n\"Island Lady\" - 9:07\n\"Echo-Side Blue\" - 7:15\n\"Global Warming\" - 6:30\n\"Mother Nature's Blues\" - 11:26\n\"Change Partners\" (Irving Berlin) - 8:36\n\"Clear-Cut Boogie\" - 7:07\nRecorded in NY on January 7 (tracks 2, 4 & 5) and February 28 (tracks 1, 3 & 6), 1998\nSonny Rollins: tenor saxophone\nStephen Scott: piano, kalimba\nBob Cranshaw: electric bass\nIdris Muhammad: drums (tracks 2, 4 & 5)\nClifton Anderson: trombone (tracks 1, 3 & 6)\nPerry Wilson: drums (tracks 1, 3 & 6)\nVictor See Yuen: percussion (tracks 1, 3 & 6)\nThis page contains text from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia - https://wn.com/Global_Warming_(Sonny_Rollins_album)\nU.N. releases gloomy report on global warming\nWhy we're heading for a 'climate catastrophe' - BBC Newsnight\n7 INSANE Effects of Climate Change in Your Lifetime\nHow To Stop Global Warming | Part 1: Transportation\nScientists warn of imminent climate catastrophe without massive changes\nScientists warn 2019 could be the hottest year on record\nIf Global Warming, Why is it So COLD?!!\nWhat will happen to our planet in the next 200 years? The most famous scientist since Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking, who has made profound and inspiring discoveries, predicted an extremely dark and pessimistic future to the Earth and its inhabitants. Here are some of Hawking\u2019s most terrifying predictions on how and when our world will meet its demise. Since scientists started toying with genetically engineered viruses to treat human illnesses, they\u2019ve also discovered other possible uses for them. Nowadays, pharmacists are even combining several deadly viruses into a single shot and doing some weird stuff with DNA mixing. Hawking was a firm believer in extraterrestrial life, and he was convinced that they will eventually invade our planet. And no, unfortunately, they probably won\u2019t come in peace. In his final work, A Smooth Exit from Eternal Inflation, completed just two weeks before he died, Hawking predicted that our universe will eventually fade into darkness as all the stars run out of energy. Although Hawking's life basically depended on artificial intelligence, he didn't trust it at all. He once said that it might just be \u201cthe worst invention in the history of our civilization\u201d because it\u2019ll probably replace humans altogether. Hawking added that global warming will make the conditions on Earth similar to those on Venus. To save ourselves from problems like overpopulation (and the scarcity of resources that comes with it), pandemics, and pollution, we have to discover new worlds and become a multi-planetary species.

Otherwise, we\u2019ll die out as a species because Earth has already reached \u201cthe point of no return\u201d. -Global warming will make the conditions on Earth similar to those on Venus. The average temperature will be about 480\u00b0F. Our planet will burst into flames in less than 600 years.

        "raw_content": "Creator: Rozmiar Pierwotny. This image is licensed under Creative Commons License.\nJust in time for the international climate community coming together from December 2-15 for this year\u2019s international climate summit, the COP24 in Katowice, Poland, two complementary sets of climate finance data and reports, one by the UNFCCC\u2019s Standing Committee on Finance (SCF), the other by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), have been released covering the years 2015-2017. Both draw an \u2013 albeit admittedly incomplete and fragmentary \u2013 picture of climate finance flows over the last few years. They are bound to be read and dissected in multiple ways, giving evidence to some that climate finance flows are increasing and on track to reach the USD 100 billion per year by 2020 goal, to others evidence that the delivery of climate finance from developed countries to developing countries still falls woefully short of what was promised, let alone what is needed. And they will surely influence how finance will be discussed at COP24, where, as seems habitual by now, the issue will be one key deciding factor for negotiation success.\nBoth the SCF\u2019s Biennial Assessment and Overview of Climate Finance Flows (BA) covering 2015-2016 and the OECD Report on public climate finance flows from developed to developing countries 2013-2017 outline that public finance flows have risen \u2013 the good news. According to the BA, public climate finance flows from developed to developing countries amounted to USD 55.7 billion in 2016, and thus increased by 30 percent over 2014 levels. Some 60 percent of this funding flowed through bilateral and regional channels, another 35 percent through multilateral development banks. Multilateral climate funds made up only 4.3 percent of these flows in 2015-2016, but have risen since, owing largely to the ramped up operations of the Green Climate Fund, which in 2018 alone approved projects and programs worth USD 2.1 billion, but only started funding in 2015. The OECD report details a steady rise of public climate finance from developed to developing countries from USD 39.5 billion in 2013 to a total of USD 56.7 billion in 2017 \u2013 an increase of 44 percent since 2013.\nHowever, these numbers tell only part of the story. By design, both reports leave out other climate finance relevant issues needed to complete the picture of public climate finance flows. While both reports include some information on the quality of public climate finance provided, such as how much of it is delivered in grants versus loans, they are largely silent on a whole set of qualitative and normative questions and issues that should provide the framework for how public climate finance is mobilized, governed and disbursed. These include questions such as the additionality or predictability of climate finance. Or issues of adequacy of climate finance provision: Should adaptation finance be delivered to some of the poorest developing countries or Small Island Developing States in the form of loans? Or is it legitimate to include flows from export credit agencies (where the purpose is clearly to generate income in the developed countries providing the finance) as public climate finance delivered, as the OECD report does? And how to account for and report on the gender-responsiveness of climate finance and ensure that public climate finance flows deliver equitable benefits to both men and women in a way that contributes to more gender equality?\nSome answers and recommendations to this set of interwoven questions are delivered by an information brief on the Normative Framework of Public Climate Finance that ODI and the Heinrich B\u00f6ll Stiftung North America have released as part of an annual update of their Climate Finance Fundamentals (CFF) briefing series on the eve of COP 24. Two additional briefings, one exploring more in-depth the gender dimensions of climate finance (CFF10) and one giving an update on the operations of the Green Climate Fund and its climate finance delivery (CFF11) are also available in English, French and Spanish as PDFs here:\nCFF 1 on a Normative Framework for Public Climate Finance\nCFF 10 on Gender and Climate Change\nCFF 11 on the Green Climate Fund (GCF)\nIt is laudable that this year\u2019s BA includes some references to the intended gender impact of investments and how this correlates to tracking public climate finance. In contrast, the OECD report does not. The need to improve tracking and reporting on the gender-related aspects of climate finance, including impact measuring and mainstreaming \u2013 one relevant recommendation from the BA \u2013 is thus self-evident to correct a chronic shortcoming in detailing the quality of public climate finance. This is despite the fact that the gender dimension of climate change has for years been addressed as a standing item under the UNFCCC and some major advances in including gender considerations have been made since COP16 was held in Cancun in 2010, which had declared that gender equality and the effective participation of women are important for all aspects of climate change.\nThe Paris Agreement also anchored gender equality and the empowerment of women as a core principle in its pre-amble. Yet, while mandating gender-responsive adaptation and capacity-building efforts \u2013 and thereby confirming the dominant narrative of women as climate change victims \u2013 the Paris Agreement failed to integrate gender-specific language in its mitigation, technology or finance articles. At COP24, gender and women\u2019s rights groups and human rights advocates will therefore double up on their efforts to bring at least some gender and human rights language into the operational guidelines of the Paris Rulebook. In Katowice, COP24 under the standing agenda item on \u2018gender and climate change\u2019 will also consider progress on some first actions under the two-year Gender Action Plan for the UNFCCC, which was approved last year in Bonn. An important focus of this GAP is intended to be on means of implementation, especially technology development and transfer as well as finance.\nThe two operating entities under the UNFCCC Financial Mechanism, the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and the Green Climate Fund (GCF) \u2013 which will also serve in the same function for the Paris Agreement \u2013 both have dedicated gender policies and separate gender action plans, but further improvements are needed. The GEF, which has had a gender mainstreaming policy since 2011, only last year in November approved a new policy on gender equality in response to an evaluation of GEF gender mainstreaming efforts by its own accountability body. The body found that only 5 percent of a sample of 70 projects under its climate finance focal area were successfully integrating gender, while almost half of projects analyzed were judged to be largely gender-blind. The GCF started out as the first multilateral climate fund to integrate a gender dimension from the outset by anchoring gender mandates in key operational policies governing accreditation of implementation partners, the investment criteria and its results management framework. But progress has stalled. The GCF\u2019s own gender policy and action plan was approved as an interim policy in 2015 with a mandated review, but the GCF Board in 2018 was unable to agree on a forward looking new gender equality policy and action plan.\nIn 2018 the GCF has marched forward in approving another 42 project and program proposals worth USD 2.1 billion in GCF funding, including 19 proposals worth USD 1 billion at its last Board meeting in October in Bahrain. Its portfolio of approved projects is now 93 projects worth USD 4.6 million. The surge in approvals came despite various set-backs in efforts to improve core policies and guidelines. These would provide more clarity to the ever-growing family of GCF implementing partners on the criteria under which financial resources would be provided and seeking to increase the overall quality and impact of projects and programs. With the growing capacity of the GCF to program more funding faster, the GCF\u2019s resources collected under its initial resource mobilization (IRM) period have dwindled, further depleted by the non-payment of the remaining USD 2 billion in the promised USD 3 billion contribution of the United States and hit by significant currency fluctuations. With USD 5.5 billion now committed by the fund out of, by some accounts, a new total of only USD 7.1 billion from the original IRM, the GCF at its last Board meeting in Bahrain in October formally triggered the first replenishment process. It is to be completed by October 2019.\nUntil then, the GCF will have to carefully manage its commitment authority of just USD 1.3 \u2013 1.4 billion to be programmed over three Board meetings in 2019. Not surprisingly, while not formally up for discussion at COP24, the issue of GCF replenishment, its scale, length of the replenishment period and policies for contributions is bound to play a role in negotiations on climate finance in Katowice. The negotiation tracks on climate finance will center around efforts to agree on reporting guidelines for ex-ante and ex-poste public climate finance provisions. It is not just more climate finance that will be asked for. Negotiators acknowledge, even though they might not agree on the details, that we need to understand the quality of public climate finance flows. This includes their predictability, additionality, impact and ultimately what can or should be counted to get a fuller picture and tell the real public climate finance story.",

        "raw_content": "capture and kill\nUsually it\u2019s capture or kill, but in the case of the new al-Qaeda leader, US authorities are promising both.\nIt sounds like election speech rather than hate speech, but it\u2019s coming from one Mike Mullen, an admiral and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. I don\u2019t how prompted he was by his political overlords. Yes I know it\u2019s a response to Ayman al-Zawahiri\u2019s recent holy-war-as-usual announcement, and so would be defended as a tit for tat statement in ye olde war against terror, but the point is probably [and why should I get all worked up about it \u2013 every world-dominant state in history has acted this way] that the US doesn\u2019t feel it needs to defend itself against anyone, that it\u2019s beholden to nobody and can kill its enemies outright if it so desires.\nThe \u2018capture and kill\u2019 phrase is interesting though. You\u2019d think that if they could capture Zawahiri, then they wouldn\u2019t have to kill him, they could just trot him off to prison to await judgement. Aren\u2019t these people first and foremost criminals? I\u2019ve always argued this. Killing people, and incitement to killing people, these are crimes, and should be dealt with as crimes. Instead, the US seems to want to raise these people\u2019s status to holy warriors, enemy combatants. Yes, maybe they feel this \u2018permits\u2019 them to slaughter Zawahiri et al on the battlefield [the extent of that battlefield being the known universe, apparently], but it surely distracts attention from them as criminals. What really gripes me isn\u2019t the US tough talk, which is unsurprising, but the non-response [as far as I can see] from those [such as Australia\u2019s diplomats] who might be influential. Something like, \u2018Oh, I say, steady on old chap. Rule of law and all that, you know. Mustn\u2019t let em think we\u2019re as barbaric as they are.

        "raw_content": "Dawkins v Sagan: vive la diff\u00e9rence?\nCarl and Deepak: will the real guru please stand up?\nGod is an invention of Man. So the nature of God is only a shallow mystery. The deep mystery is the nature of Man.\nNanrei Kobori, quoted in Carl Sagan & Ann Druyan, Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors\nI was staying with some people recently who, to everyone\u2019s pleasure, suggested we watch a couple of episodes of Carl Sagan\u2019s old classic \u2018Cosmos\u2019 series, which I hadn\u2019t seen since it first came out in the early eighties. My hosts and at least one of my fellow guests were Christians, albeit science-loving, and I found this interesting, especially when, on watching the episodes, I found that Sagan paid far more attention to religion as an outmoded way of thinking, and to new ageism and pseudo-science as objects of mockery, than I\u2019d previously noted. Yet my Christian companions didn\u2019t appear to bat an eyelid. Later in my stay though, when I happened to mention Richard Dawkins in passing, the knives came out immediately. Arrogant, rude, irrational and ignorant were the terms I best remember. Hmmmm thought I, here\u2019s a topic worth writing on.\nRichard Dawkins and the late Carl Sagan both achieved some celebrity in around 1980, Dawkins with a controversial book, The Selfish Gene, and Sagan with his ground-breaking television series, \u2018Cosmos\u2019. Sagan was already a well-established astronomer and cosmologist and a full Professor at Cornell University when he co-wrote the series, but his interests enveloped the whole scientific enterprise. As a student he worked in a famous genetics lab, and teamed with the Nobel Prize winning chemist Harold Urey on a thesis on the origin of life, a topic that always captivated him. Later he co-authored a chilling account of the after-effects of a nuclear war, excerpts of which were published in Scientific American. After the success of Cosmos, Sagan went on to publish many books of scientific speculation and inquiry, always keen to promote critical thinking, scepticism, and the public awareness of science. Richard Dawkins probably didn\u2019t gain quite the same popularity as Sagan until he published The God Delusion in 2006, some thirty years after The Selfish Gene, though he was well-known enough to sciencey dilettantey types, having published, in between those two books, important texts promoting evolution and scientific thinking, much in the manner of Stephen J Gould. These texts include The Extended Phenotype, The Blind Watchmaker, Unweaving the Rainbow, and probably his greatest achievement, The Ancestor\u2019s Tale, a journey back through time tracing human ancestry to the earliest life forms on earth.\nTo summarize, both Dawkins and Sagan have been eloquent champions of the delights of scientific enquiry, and both have been highly regarded and respected for their ability to inspire and to bring people into the fold of science. Sagan, in particular, was once criticised for a \u2018popularising\u2019 style \u2013 for appearing to dumb down the enterprise of science and for shamelessly demeaning the lofty aspirations of his discipline with regular appearances on the Johnny Carson Show, but this is now surely seen as counter-productive snobbishness, and Dawkins himself admits to being strongly influenced by Sagan\u2019s approach of wooing a lay audience to the pleasures of scientific enquiry and wonder.\nSo why the denigration of Dawkins and the admiration of Sagan among my more or less pro-scientific Christian acquaintances? Also, are those acquaintances typical in their responses to Dawkins and Sagan, or am I just being anecdotal here?\nWell, these questions open up a whole can of complexities. First Dawkins and Sagan are quite different personalities [though their scientific outlooks are in fact remarkably similar]. Second, they emerged out of different \u2018contexts\u2019, and not only because Dawkins is an evolutionary biologist and Sagan was a cosmologist, but because they emerged in different eras and had to fight somewhat different battles, in which they chose to use different weapons \u2013 and in some ways needed to use different weapons.\nDawkins\u2019 book The God Delusion was massively popular, and massively polarising, and I suspect that its very success, particularly in the USA, the west\u2019s most religious, or I should say Christian, nation, has caused great resentment in Christian circles there \u2013 especially amongst those who haven\u2019t read it. This resentment has boiled over into Britain, Australia and other nations heavily influenced by the US \u2013 and I must say I\u2019d be surprised if any of those Christian acquaintances of mine who got stuck into Dawkins had read The God Delusion, and absolutely astonished if they\u2019d read any of his other books.\nBut of course The God Delusion also caused resentment because it was seen as confrontational, combative, mocking and disrespectful of religion. And Dawkins himself, largely because he has been pitted against the stubbornly, vociferously religious, in a way that Sagan never really was, is easily made to seem intolerant [I saw him at Adelaide Writer\u2019s Week in 2010, in a far less combative setting, and he was a perfect gentleman].\nObviously there are personal and stylistic differences between the two, but I\u2019ll just focus on two factors, beyond their respective \u2018natures\u2019, that make for a great deal of difference. First, Dawkins is a Brit whereas Sagan was US-born. Britain ceased being as religious as the USA quite some time ago, and in scientific circles in Britain religious difficulties would rarely have been encountered, though of course the early British debates in evolution between Huxley and his opponents are a solid part of the history of the biological sciences. However, the extremely vociferous, and extremely cashed-up, forces of the anti-evolutionists in the USA, and their relentless efforts to interfere with the US education system at all levels, presented a huge stumbling-block to Dawkins\u2019s project of educating the English-speaking west in the explanatory power of the theory of natural selection. After all, considerably more than half of the English-speaking west is American. So it seems to me that The God Delusion, together with associated efforts such as the documentary \u2018The Root of all Evil\u2019, represented a sort of \u2018dummy-spit\u2019, an \u2018enough is enough\u2019 moment, or if you want to ennoble it a bit more, a Lutherian, \u2018Here I stand, I can do no other\u2019, line in the sand statement. And Dawkins, arguably, found it easier to launch this attack from the safe haven of Britain. Sam Harris had courageously blazed a trail with his The End of Faith, but generally American academics had taken a softly-softly approach to the religious fervour of their nation, or where they had been critical, as indeed Sagan had in a number of his publications, they\u2019d been largely ignored.\nHaving said this, I suspect that The God Delusion\u2019s overwhelming popularity was a matter of timing. Dawkins wasn\u2019t the only one getting heartily sick of religious opposition to science in the US. Indeed some, like Harris, preceded Dawkins in tackling the issue. And many others followed. The blogosphere was just starting to take off when The God Delusion first hit the stands, and a number of scientifically literate bloggers like P Z Myers, Jerry Cohn, Matt Young, Richard Hoppe, Jason Rosenhouse and many others, preferred a take-no-prisoners approach to creationists and religious zealots. Amongst other things, this has provided a shot in the arm to sceptical and atheist movements throughout the west, with people turning up to atheist and sceptic gatherings and gabfests in record numbers.\nOf course, The God Delusion also had its critics, not only, obviously, the believers but also non-believers who either thought it was too disrespectful of religion, or that it was intellectually lightweight. This has of course led to many debates and arguments, and I\u2019ve made my own little contributions here and there. I\u2019ll try a quick summary. On the second point, there\u2019s been a lot of insults but few analyses of Dawkins\u2019s arguments, and none that stand up to scrutiny. That\u2019s because his arguments aren\u2019t new, they\u2019ve all stood the test of time. Theological arguments for the existence of gods \u2013 cosmological arguments, teleological [design] arguments, ontological arguments \u2013 have all been comprehensively demolished many times over. Further, one of the oldest arguments against the existence of a Benevolent Omnipotent Omniscient Being [BOOB] is the \u2018problem of evil\u2019, or the problem of suffering, as I prefer to call it, which alone serves to destroy the credibility of this later theological construct [the god of the Old Testament could never be honestly described as universally benevolent]. Dawkins doesn\u2019t detail all these arguments, and he generally avoids the bogs and fens of theology in what is an unashamedly populist text, but what he does provide is sound enough, and his demolition of Gould\u2019s NOMA thesis is particularly devastating. That thesis is now as dead as the dodo.\nYet still, on the shallower level of name-calling, Dawkins is a consistent target. This can partly be explained by his style, but more particularly by the fact that in interviews and on talk shows he is regularly called upon to defend a position or to take on an opponent. I don\u2019t think he\u2019s at his best in such scenarios \u2013 though I don\u2019t think he comes across as ignorant or irrational. He does sometimes come across as bristly, defensive, irritable and impatient, and lacking in the kind of unflappable humour that might be the best resort in certain circs. Then again, I\u2019ve even seen Stephen Fry lose it in these pressure situations.\nIt\u2019s also true that Dawkins has gone further than most by aiming his argument, and his contempt, at a broader target than creationists and fundamentalists, thus putting more liberal and pro-science Christians on the defensive. This is the real bone of contention with Dawkins, but it has, I think, brought benefits. For one thing, it has revivified the debate about the compatibility of evolution and religion, particularly Judeo-Christian religion. Generally it has been accepted, with an avoidance of thought, that \u2018x is a Christian, and x accepts evolution, therefore evolution and Christianity are compatible\u2019. For example the Catholic Church has, it has been thought by some, avoided having yet another losing battle with science by pontifically pronouncing that evolution and Catholic beliefs are compatible, while adding that humans are their god\u2019s \u2018special creation\u2019. Interestingly, George Pell, in his recent Australian debate with Dawkins, tried a variation on this theme by announcing that the soul is the \u2018life spirit\u2019, which in fact inhabits every living thing [so now we know that all living things have souls] but that in humans it is \u2018infinitely more complex\u2019 than in other creatures, thus cleverly preserving our \u2018specialness\u2019. But there are obvious problems with such pronouncements in the face of evolution. Just when did this \u2018specialness\u2019 or \u2018infinitely greater complexity\u2019 evolve? Is it in chimpanzees, with whom we share an ancestor? Was it fully there in Homo erectus? What about the Neanderthals? What about the Australopithecines? When thinking things through like this, it seems that Christians, in order to accept evolution, would have to give up some central tenets of their faith, such as the exclusivity of the human soul and human specialness, our god-given dominion over other species, our being made in the image of their god, etc. Faced with this, liberal Christians either ignore the problem, present tortuous arguments to vindicate their beliefs, or they concede defeat but without giving up their faith \u2013 in fact sometimes seeking to turn defeat into victory by claiming that their god was always an environmentalist with an equal love for all his creatures and for the biosphere etc etc. It\u2019s this kind of goalpost-shifting, and selective, cherry-picking faith that has raised the ire not only of Dawkins but also Hitchens and other \u2018new atheists\u2019. And so the debates continue.\nSo what then of gentle Carl Sagan of the deep, soothing, measured, almost mystical tones? Sometimes he makes me think of Deepak Chopra, the archetypal modern \u2018guru\u2019, though I admit I\u2019ve never heard Chopra speak. But as I\u2019ve said, Sagan does have things to say about religion in Cosmos and elsewhere, and they aren\u2019t particularly positive. He is best described as a sceptic \u2013 a position which I also subscribe to. Scientific scepticism involves following the evidence, insisting on following the evidence, and being aware of what evidence actually consists of. In the first episode of Cosmos he describes the scientific enterprise as a combination of scepticism and imagination. This is surely right \u2013 if you think of Einstein\u2019s work, he would\u2019ve done nothing had he not been sceptical of previous explanations of the nature of space and gravity, but then he needed the imaginative insight, as well as the rigour that comes from a deep familiarity and understanding of previous work on these entities, to work out new relationships that could withstand analysis and generate new insights, in fact a whole new worldview.\nWhen pressed, Sagan described himself as an agnostic, which, some might argue, opposes him to the atheistic Dawkins. I think this is quibbling. Agnosticism was a term first popularized by Thomas Huxley, but to me the most interesting use of it was by the philosopher and logician Bertrand Russell. In an essay entitled Atheist or Agnostic? \u2013 or something similar, Russell basically described himself as an agnostic with strong atheist tendencies. It was his logical understanding that prevented him from going \u2018all the way\u2019, because he recognised how well-nigh impossible it was to prove a negative. As he famously pointed out, it was as difficult to prove that supernatural beings didn\u2019t exist as it was to prove that there wasn\u2019t a teapot orbiting the sun. So, his respect for and understanding of logic pushed him into agnosticism, but he was griped by a strong feeling that it was no more likely that supernatural beings did exist than that there was a teapot orbiting the sun. I strongly suspect this was the sort of agnosticism that Sagan subscribed to. I also feel that too much is made of these atheist/agnostic distinctions. As I\u2019ve written elsewhere, the number of terms that can be used \u2013 and separately defined if you feel like wasting your time on them \u2013 are legion. Unbelievers, non-believers, hard atheists, soft atheists, brights, naturalists, this-worlders, materialists, secularists, these are just some of them, but again I think \u2018sceptic\u2019 best covers my position, because it goes further into the positive territory of respect for evidence. There\u2019s no evidence for the existence of supernatural beings, so there\u2019s nothing really to say about them. There is, though, plenty of evidence of a human need to believe in such beings, and this is fascinating and challenging and needs to be accounted for. Theology, though, can\u2019t achieve this, because its basic assumptions completely undermine its authority.\nIt\u2019s impossible to determine, of course, how Sagan \u2013 who would be 77 years old if he were alive today \u2013 would have oriented himself to the \u2018new atheism\u2019. I\u2019m currently embarking on a reading of some of Sagan\u2019s books, and maybe after that I\u2019ll be able to better answer this question. One of his last books, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark, indicates how concerned he was with critical thinking and maintaining a sceptical frame of mind, and it seemed that he lumped religious thinking with superstition and pseudo-science as enemies of the kind of understanding he was keen to promote. It\u2019s ironic, therefore, that he\u2019s sometimes seen as \u2018the guru of the cosmos\u2019, though to some degree that was an image of his own making. Dawkins has taken, a different, more hard-nosed tack, though those who know a bit more of his work might describe him as \u2018the guru of evolution\u2019, just as lyrical in his own way about his particular discipline and what it has opened up to our understanding. They\u2019re quite distinct in their characters, I suppose, and yet both have used their celebrity to further some worthwhile causes \u2013 Sagan speaking out against the arms race and Reagan\u2019s \u2018Star Wars\u2019 madness in the eighties, Dawkins speaking out against the invasion of Iraq, and for animal rights and against \u2018speciesism\u2019 [in this respect following Darwin himself] in more recent times. So I don\u2019t see them as so different, but for what it\u2019s worth, vive la diff\u00e9rence. Biological diversity is always a positive thing.\n\u00ab essais \u00e0 la fa\u00e7on de montaigne: philosophy\nJared Diamond on Australia\u2019s soil problems \u00bb\nGreat piece of writing! I have often wondered about the knee jerk venomous responses that Dawkins seems to get. I have some acquaintances who despise him but have not read his books and are not sympathetic to religion either. I wonder if it\u2019s a gut reaction to his mannerisms compared to other well known atheist writers like Sam Harris or Dan Dennett. Imagine if David Attenborough had written an athiest bestseller before Dawkins, would the response be different? Or maybe AC Grayling? People like to get their ideology fix from social commentators that they also like the look and sound of. In fact I would go further than that and suggest that people will overlook the truth of a statement if they really like the person eloquently giving the statement. I guess I am thinking of your friends not really hearing Sagan speak his mind on religion or at least having little response. I imagine that Dawkins could say half as much but receive 10 times the derision.\nThanks for the response. Yes, the thought of David Attenborough writing an atheist book, even now, is a bit of a turn-on \u2013 so to speak. Isn\u2019t he the most popular man in the galaxy or something? As to Dawkins, I suppose it\u2019s the barely concealed contempt he sometimes shows. Also the fact that his stridency has won so much support, which is pretty threatening to a lot of Christians. Christians are now worried they might actually have to justify their positions for the first time in centuries, and that makes some of them mad as hell.\nOf course there are also non-believers who like to get stuck into Dawkins, because they still have a sentimental attachment to religion, or for some other reason, and some of them are pretty incoherent in their attacks. The British historian Melvyn Bragg did this on Lateline recently, and I got stuck into him here. I\u2019m quite proud of this piece, you might like to look at it when you have the time.",

The United States will continue to evaluate all agencies within the United Nations system through the same lens.\n\u201cThe purpose of UNESCO is a good one. Unfortunately, its extreme politicization has become a chronic embarrassment. The Tomb of the Patriarchs decision was just the latest in a long line of foolish actions, which includes keeping Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad on a UNESCO human rights committee even after his murderous crackdown on peaceful protestors. Just as we said in 1984 when President Reagan withdrew from UNESCO, U.S. taxpayers should no longer be on the hook to pay for policies that are hostile to our values and make a mockery of justice and common sense,\u201d said Ambassador Nikki Haley.",

        "title": "Blog - UT Dallas Rugby",
        "raw_content": "Another Mid Summer post\nA web site/article called \u201cThis is American Rugby\u201d spot lighted the Lonestar Conference and UT Dallas Rugby Club. To view the entire article written by Grant Cole, who has his own blog covering all of the High School and College Rugby here in Texas, link up to the following:\nhttp://www.thisisamericanrugby.com/2013/07/lone-star-conference-2013-2014-preview.html?utm_source=BP_recent\nHere is the main part and UT Dallas segment.\nThe Lone Star Conference (LSC) is a National Small College Rugby Organization (NSCRO) conference that includes the formerly D2/D3 men's collegiate rugby clubs in Texas. These teams play for a conference championship (called a \"State Championship\" in Texas) that qualifies two teams for a opportunity to play against the top two teams of NSCRO's West Division in the Cowboy Cup, a regional playoff event from which the winner advances to NSCRO's National Championship playoff structure. In April 2014, after the regular season is finished, the LSC teams will be afforded the opportunity to compete with other collegiate rugby teams outside of their conference in the Texas Cup. The Texas Cup is an inter-conference, round-robin series of games culminating in a championship designed to give teams that do not advance beyond their conference a post-season competition.\nThe LSC has two divisions, North and South, and each club plays home and away matches against opponents in the same division. The North Division includes first-year club McMurray University (Abilene), Midwestern State Wichita Falls), the University of Dallas, Southern Methodist University (Dallas), UT-Dallas, and LeTourneau University (Longview). The South Division includes Angelo State (San Angelo), UT-San Antonio, St. Edward's University (Austin), Lamar University (Beaumont), and Texas State (San Marcos) plays their 2nd XV in the LSC for developmental purposes.\nUnder the direction of Commissioner Shayne Roberson (also the coach at UTSA), the LSC enjoyed a solid 2012-2013 season. UT-Dallas and Angelo St advanced to the Cowboy Cup regional playoff only to be defeated by NSCRO\nheavy-weights Denver University and the Colorado School of Mines. In their first season, LeTourneau University finished a strong second place in the North Division. Additionally, a few of the men's clubs helped to establish women's clubs at their respective universities.\nSo this year, the LSC adds a women's rugby division with six clubs: UT-Dallas, UT-San Antonio, Lamar, Texas Christian University (Ft Worth), Rice (Houston), Sam Houston State (Huntsville) and Texas St. University (San Marcos). With the Southwest Women's Conference's three teams, this brings the total women's collegiate clubs in Texas to 10!\nThe LSWC clubs will play a home and away schedule that affords them some flexibility this year. All six of the LSWC clubs are either new within the past three years or newly re-formed after a hiatus. To account for travel\nand operational expenses, these clubs will be allowed to play their matches as XVs, 10s, or 7s, dependent on how they are able to travel and sustain numbers. While this will prevent them from competing in playoffs beyond the Conference, they will be allowed to play for a conference championship at the end of the season.\nThe UT-Dallas men have the hardest row to hoe this year. The Comets are only a two year old program. Both years they won the conference championship under the direction of Head Coach Tony Wagner and his Assistant John \"Bear\" Hinson. UT-Dallas boasts a record of 17-0 in conference play with only three losses to Oklahoma (D1A), the University of North Texas (D1AA), and Denver University at the NSCRO Cowboy Cup semifinals. The Comets graduated 13 players this past Spring, but have 20 returning. Coach Wagner is entirely realistic in his preparations for this season when he states, \"I know the lads want to continue this streak, and with a bulls eye planted firmly on our backs, we will have to work hard. If (they) want to remain undefeated, it will be up to them to put in the work to remain that way and win another state championship.\"",

        "title": "Best Interior Painting Service Near Me Beloit | Top Local Painters",
        "raw_content": "Best Interior Painting Service Near Me Beloit\nDo you own a Beloit home that has not been painted in several years? Perhaps you would like to improve its outward appearance. You might be selling your house, and you need to enhance the curbside appeal, motivating people to consider purchasing your home. You may also have a need for a painting contractor that can paint the interior of your home as well. It may have been decades since the last time that the inside of your home was painted, and you simply do not have time to do this on your own. If you are interested in finding quality Beloit painting contractors, ones that can do both interior and exterior painting jobs, here are the best ways to locate painting contractors near me that will provide you with the best services at a better than average cost.\nThe first place that you should start searching for Beloit painting contractors that can paint your home is on the web. Most of the professionals that offer this service in communities will have a website showcasing what they are able to do. They will have examples of homes they have painted recently, both interior and exterior jobs. This will give you a general idea of the type of work they are able to do. Second, you can also see how much they charge for the services if it is posted, and if not, there will always be contact information. You can then contact these businesses by phone, or by email, to get a quote or estimate on how much it will cost for the painting job that you need them to accomplish.\nOnce you have found several Beloit painting contractors near me, you will need to evaluate them. The first step is getting an estimate. These professionals will send a representative of their company out to your location. They can take measurements, and then provide you with a quote on how much it will cost to paint either the interior or exterior of your home. The second step is to consider the reputation of these contractors. You may have family members or friends that have recently used one of these professionals. If they were very happy with the final result, as well as the price, these are top candidates for your business. The other way to evaluate these companies is to find information about them on the web. You could begin with the Better Business Bureau. You will also see reviews and comments about local businesses on the Internet, comments made by actual customers that will state whether they were happy with, or dissatisfied with, the work that was provided. This information can prove invaluable as you are trying to make your final choice.\nThere are a few other things to consider before hiring one of these Beloit local painting contractors. First, you need to consider when they are able to start. If you need to have this done in the next few weeks, and they cannot start for a couple months, these are the companies that you will not want to consider at all. You should also consider what type of painting jobs they are willing to do. Some of them only do the exterior of homes. Others may only do interior painting jobs. If you need to have them do both, this will limit your choices even more, helping you to make the right choice when choosing one of these contractors.\nThere are a couple different ways that you can search for and find Beloit painting contractors that will provide you with affordable rates on painting your house. They might be advertising in the local paper, providing their services at a discount for those that are willing to work with them in the near future. Once they have their quota of clients, the special will be gone, so you need to act as quickly as possible if you see these businesses offering discount services. Another way is to work with a business that will give you a discount because you are having them paint both the interior and exterior of your home. These companies are often motivated to provide substantial discounts for those that allow them to do both jobs.\nThe final choice that you make is one that you will know is the right choice because this company will have four favorable factors. First of all, they will offer discounted prices for the painting jobs that they will do for you. Second, they will have longevity in the community, perhaps providing their painting services for many years or decades. Third, they will be able to do both interior and exterior painting on your home, preventing you from having to search for yet another company. Finally, they will be willing to work around your schedule so that you can have your home painted when you want to have this done. All four of these factors are indications that you will have chosen the right Beloit company for the job.\nThere are likely many painting contractors near me that you will be able to use. In a large city, there could be several, prompting you to do a substantial amount of research. Even if there are only two or three in your smaller community, there will be one that will stand out. You will have chosen one of the best and most affordable residential painting contractors in my area, providing you with an estimate on the cost per square foot that will likely be below the average for the typical cost of these projects. Now that you know how to get the best deals from local Beloit painting contractors, you should start requesting estimates today. In no time at all, you will have the interior or exterior of your home painted, or even both, by these professional painting contractors near me that can help you out.\nAuthor wpenginePosted on September 28, 2017 September 28, 2017 Categories Painters WisconsinTags Average Cost To Paint A Room in Beloit, Cost To Paint Exterior Of House in Beloit, Cost To Paint Interior Of House in Beloit, Exterior Painting Contractor in Beloit, House Painting Estimate in Beloit, House Painting Quotes in Beloit, How Much To Paint A House in Beloit, Interior Painting Cost in Beloit, Interior Painting Cost Per Sq Ft in Beloit, Interior Painting Estimate in Beloit, Painting Cost Per Square Foot in Beloit",

The School was renamed the College of Veterinary Medicine in 1897.\nThe first entrance requirements were either examination in specified subjects, high school graduation, or a teacher's certificate. In 1906, the requirements were increased by examination in additional subjects, a high school diploma being accepted in lieu of examination for such required subjects as it included. In 1933, one year of pre-veterinary college work was required, and changed to two years beginning with the academic year 1949-1950.\nFrom 1885 to 1914, the professional curriculum covered three years; it was increased to four years in 1915. The first class graduated in 1887 and the total number of graduates to date is more than 9,100 with more than 8,300 DVMs.\nToday Ohio State\u2019s College of Veterinary Medicine consists of approximately 105 faculty, 545 veterinary students, 125 graduate students and residents and 300 staff members.\nRead A Legacy for Tomorrow recounting the first 100 years.\nA Legacy for Tomorrow\nFocus-Forward Weekend\nCelebrating 125 years in the College of Veterinary Medicine\nTransformation and Tradition\nEconomic Impact of Veterinary Medicine in Ohio\nVeterinary Medicine: Economic Impact in Ohio (summary)\nFull Research Report\nThe Ohio Livestock Care Standards Board: A Case Study",

        "raw_content": "The History of Winona Lake\nThe Village at Winona is a destination rooted in warm hospitality, natural beauty and spiritual community.\nDuring the late 19th century, the Winona Lake area became home to the Beyer brothers, a family of enterprising dairy farmers who first saw the area\u2019s artesian springs as a source of natural refrigeration for their company. Over time they saw the potential for much more. In 1887, the brothers built Spring Fountain Park, a resort complete with a hotel, a racetrack and a roller coaster.\nThe resort was sold in 1894 to Presbyterian church leader Dr. Solomon Dickey, who dreamed of turning the area into a religious retreat. Thanks to his substantial improvements\u2014including the building of homes, cottages and the canal\u2014the succeeding years brought significant growth to the area. Conferences, church retreats and summer vacations swelled the Park\u2019s seasonal tourism.\nBy 1905, the resort and surrounding area had been renamed Winona Lake. The following ten years are now known as the \u2018Golden Age\u2019 of Winona Lake, with summer tourism reaching 250,000. It was during these years that evangelist Billy Sunday built a home in the nearby village. Thanks to Sunday\u2019s presence, Winona Lake became a haven for religious community, its summer days filled with church conferences, conventions and training schools. The area became oasis for Midwesterners looking for rest and relaxation as well as strong spiritual community.\nIn 1994, a restoration project began to transform the Winona Lake community to its former glory. With the creation of new commercial and residential areas, as well as the restoration of nearly 30 properties, new life began to reappear. Over the last 20 years the area has once again been transformed into one of Northern Indiana\u2019s prime recreation and shopping destinations. The Village at Winona is now an integral part of the community, serving locals, Grace College students and faculty as well as the many vacationers who make day and weekend trips to the area. The Village contributes to Winona Lake\u2019s unique character by welcoming small businesses seeking to build a sustainable presence in this welcoming and historic community.",

This project will provide a convenient new transportation option that links Vermont's most populous area with cities like New York and Washington. Improving the movement of freight is vital to our state's economy and better positions Vermont businesses to compete in existing and emerging markets. This project is a winning scenario for passengers looking to travel across our state and for businesses moving their products across the country.\"\nSecretary Foxx said: \"Transportation is always about the future. If we're just fixing today's problems, we'll fall further and further behind. We already know that a growing population and increasing freight traffic will require our system to do more,\" said Secretary Foxx. \"In this round of TIGER grants, we selected projects that focus on where the country's transportation infrastructure needs to be in the future: safer, more innovative, and more targeted to open the floodgates of opportunity across America.\"\nFRA Administrator Feinberg said: \"This is a day Burlington has been waiting a long time for - this funding will help not only take us back to a time when passenger rail extended to Burlington, but more importantly, it will take us into the future.\"\nRutland Mayor Christopher Louras said: \"Restoring passenger rail and improving freight along our state's Western Corridor is a vital step forward in bringing new visitors to Rutland businesses and moving our economy forward. I'm glad to see the progress that we have made, and our community looks forward to completing this project.\"\nBurlington Mayor Miro Weinberger said: \"Reestablishing passenger rail service to Burlington will be a major transportation breakthrough for our City and the whole region. We are very thankful to all of those who have worked hard for so many years to see this dream realized, and the City is committed to doing everything it can to help push this critical effort over the finish line.\"\nLeahy, Sanders and Welch have long sought U.S. Department of Transportation funding for the Western Vermont Freight-Passenger Rail Project, an ambitious multi-year effort to upgrade antiquated rail infrastructure, between Rutland and Burlington. Last year, they sent a letter to Secretary Foxx, urging him to support the state of Vermont's application for a $10 million Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) grant to fund the last leg of the effort.\nThe completed project will greatly improve the movement of freight in the region, allowing Vermont businesses to compete more effectively in the global economy. It will also relieve congestion and lessen strain on U.S. Route 7. The project also will play a significant role in Vermont's efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by doubling rail freight tonnage and quadrupling passenger rail ridership over the next 20 years.\nthe country.\"\nSource: https://www.leahy.senate.gov/press/leahy-sanders-welch-and-shumlin-welcome-us-transportation-secretary-anthony-foxx-to-vermont-as-major-grant-goes-forward-to-improve-rail-service-across-vermonts-western-corridor",

These injuries can lead to permanent eye damage or even a loss of vision. Most of these eye injuries could have been prevented by wearing the right type of eye protection, such as safety glasses.\nWhy are safety glasses important?\nSafety glasses are used for a number of dangerous tasks where there is potential for damage to the eye. The following are some of the situations where safety glasses are extremely important.\nIt is well known that even the safest of chemicals can cause irritation and even damage to the eyes. Many chemicals are in liquid form and can splash into the eyes, they may also release toxic fumes that can irritate the eyes. This is why it is very important to wear safety glasses when working with these substances.\nPower tools are very common in most industrial situations. They are not usually dangerous themselves when used correctly, but metal or wood splinters are common when cutting or drilling. A pair of quality safety glasses will protect your eyes in this situation.\nOther eye protection\nIt is also important to wear eye protection when using welding or cutting equipment that uses a powerful flame. This emits a bright light that can cause damage to the eyes and dark tinted glasses or facemask is highly recommended when doing this type of work.",

        "raw_content": "Crazy Talk: Why Are Some Mental Illnesses Taken More Seriously?\nSam Dylan Finch Apr 27, 2017 Identities\nWe\u2019ve created a hierarchy of mental illnesses. I can\u2019t tell you the number of times I\u2019ve been told, \u201cWell, at least you\u2019re not schizophrenic!\u201d\nWelcome to Crazy Talk: a mental health advice column written by yours truly, a mentally ill and queer writer reclaiming his \u201ccrazy\u201d to educate and empower. In a world that tries to push us to the margins, I\u2019m all about getting loud and kicking the stigma where it hurts. In this column, we explore what it\u2019s like to live with mental illness without shame or apologies. Expect frank advice, a little self-deprecation and a good dose of humor.\nOnce upon a time, I was misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder. Back then, everyone took my mental illness very seriously. When I described my depressive episodes \u2014 acute suicidality, agonizing emotional pain, inability to enjoy the things I once loved, plummeting self-esteem \u2014 I was (for the most part) met with deep concern. It wasn\u2019t my fault, I was told, so people on the whole were more compassionate.\nAnd then it was suggested that I might have borderline personality disorder. Suddenly my depressive episodes were suspect. Was I being manipulative? How \u201csincere\u201d was this episode, exactly? What was my \u201cend goal?\u201d Could I be trusted? Was I just another lost cause under the umbrella of Cluster B? After all, it was an issue with my personality, so I must have brought it onto myself.\nWhen my history became a little more clear, the language shifted again: clinical depression and complex PTSD. That\u2019s when the invalidation came into play. \u201cEveryone gets depressed sometimes.\u201d \u201cWe\u2019ve all struggled at some point or another.\u201d \u201cLife is tough, that\u2019s to be expected.\u201d Nothing about my experience was exceptional or important or unique anymore.\nMy actual experiences of depression hadn\u2019t changed. But depending on the language I used to describe myself, the kind of concern (or lack thereof) that I would be met with varied significantly. My depressive episodes went from being alarming, to suspicious, to trivial. I was the same person with the same struggles, and yet a single word could be the difference between solidarity and invalidation.\nSomeone wrote me recently to ask why I thought that some mental illnesses are taken more seriously than others. But it\u2019s first important to note that mental illness, on the whole, is not taken as seriously as it should be. Stigma and invalidation are a part of the package, I believe, no matter how you\u2019re diagnosed.\nBut it\u2019s also true that we\u2019ve created a hierarchy of illnesses. I can\u2019t tell you the number of times I\u2019ve been told, \u201cWell, at least you\u2019re not schizophrenic!\u201d Some mental illnesses are considered more serious or devastating than others.\nAnd I think that ultimately misses the point: rather than pitting mentally ill folks against each other, we should be advocating for the best possible life for every individual \u2014 on their own terms \u2014 regardless of what the diagnosis may or may not be.\nRelated: It\u2019s Not Always Oppression Olympics; Sometimes Social Justice Must Be Urgent\nThere are worthwhile conversations to be had around the unique struggles that come with different illnesses. But I think those conversations can be had in a way that doesn\u2019t undermine the seriousness of other disorders, and without invalidating people whose experiences are different but still significant. Unfortunately, in popular culture, that nuance has been totally lost \u2014 and we wrongfully exploit the pain of some mentally ill folks to invalidate others.\nEven mentally ill folks do this to themselves. They\u2019ve internalized this. I\u2019ve interacted with people who have said things to me like, \u201cWell, my depression isn\u2019t as bad as yours\u201d or, \u201cI haven\u2019t been hospitalized like you.\u201d They feel like they can\u2019t be honest about their experiences without undermining or qualifying them.\nI never asked for my pain to be weaponized in a way that dismisses somebody else\u2019s suffering. I never wanted that. And yet it seems like every week, someone feels obligated to tell me that they \u201cdon\u2019t have it as bad\u201d before they can share with me that they\u2019re hurting, if they share it with me at all.\nCan we just agree that mental illness totally sucks? And can we please do that without footnotes, without the feeling that we have to prove ourselves?\nEmotional pain will always be relative. Empathy requires that we understand that very basic fact. Rather than trying to measure those experiences with our own imaginary yardstick, we need to ditch the yardstick altogether and imagine what that pain is like in the context of someone else\u2019s life. If it\u2019s painful for them, that pain is real. Full stop.\nI\u2019m not here to suggest that everyone\u2019s struggles are exactly identical. But I do believe that when someone tells us that they\u2019re suffering, they deserve to be believed. Mental illness is always serious \u2014 and while it shows up in different ways for different people, that doesn\u2019t make it any less important.\nHonestly, if we just listened to people when they explained how deeply mental illness and trauma affects their lives, we wouldn\u2019t be having this conversation. Because if we trusted mentally ill folks when they told the truth of their experience, we wouldn\u2019t be relying on stereotypes to fill in the blanks.\nSam Dylan Finch is an Associate Editor at RESIST and the founder of Let\u2019s Queer Things Up!, a blog exploring the intersections of queerness and mental illness.

These conditions are called \u201ctunnel syndromes\u201d, and although the chiropractic treatment of these is more complex than dealing with a simple spinal subluxation, they usually respond very well, especially when combined with exercises, stretching, and massage, etc.\nTrigger points are very small and tight \u201cknots\u201d in the fibers of the muscle that form when the muscles become chronically overworked or injured. Pain from trigger points is very often referred to other parts of the body that may seem wholly unrelated to the source. Trigger points can be successfully treated by a combination of chiropractic care, stretching, and a precise deep tissue massage known as \u201ctrigger point therapy\u201d.\nPain of any sort must be properly diagnosed before it can be effectively treated, especially when it is the nerves that are affected. Otherwise the nerve may end up being permanently damaged. Being told by your doctor that you have a \u201cpinched nerve\u201d should not be viewed as a diagnosis; only as an indication that further investigation by a doctor of chiropractic is required as soon as possible.\n\u21d0 Osteoporosis PMS \u21d2",

        "raw_content": "Artist:Rubber Duc\nRubber Duc burst onto the SA music scene in March 2014 when their first single hit the number 2 spot on the 5FM and ECR charts! \u201cAIN\u2019T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT\u201d was inspired by the YouTube clip of Sweet Brown that went viral worldwide. The song is a satirical look at living in South Africa today and a humorous take on current issues... All the stuff we simply don\u2019t have time for!\nThe original trio of Nick Jordaan (Lead vocals, acoustic guitar, hi-hat), Brendan Campbell (Lead guitar, kick drum, backing vocals) and Sheldon Sham (Saxophone, crash, tambourine, backing vocals) rapidly grew in popularity and four more singles followed.\n\u201cSTAY WITH ME\u201d charted on Algoa FM as well as many campus and community stations and the feel-good anthem \u201cIT\u2019S ALRIGHT\u201d is still being played across the country. And the quirky \u201cZEBRA HORSE\u201d is a big fan favourite and \u201cSCREW LOOSE\u201d celebrates the band\u2019s mad love for Cape Town.\nIn early 2015, bassist Amiel Gopal joined to make Rubber Duc a four-piece, adding not only bass, but joining the percussion line on the snare drum. Amiel adds another layer of spice to their unique sound and bringing even more energy to their infectious live performances!\nIt is their energetic and up-beat stage personality that makes Rubber Duc a firm favourite at festivals around the country. Some of the highlights so far have been:\n\uf0b7 Opening for MILKY CHANCE in DURBAN\n\uf0b7 MUSIC AT THE LAKE\n\uf0b7 UP THE CREEK\n\uf0b7 NEON RUN JOZI\n\uf0b7 GROVES & VINYARDS\n\uf0b7 PINKIE FEST\n\uf0b7 WHITE MOUNTAIN FESTIVAL\n\uf0b7 FESTA DI PRIMAVERA\n\uf0b7 GET LUCKY SUMMER with GOODLUCK in PLETT\n\uf0b7 KIRSTENBOSCH on Valentine\u2019s Day 2016\n\uf0b7 LUSH\n\uf0b7 SPLASHY FEN\n\uf0b7 And they\u2019re looking forward to returning to SPLASHY FEN 2017!\nRubber Duc released their much anticipated debut album in September 2016. Conceptualised and created on the road between shows, \u201cTHE SECRET SUNRISE\u201d was produced, recorded and mixed at Openroom Studios in Johannesburg by Grammy and SAMA-award winning engineer and producer Darryl Torr, and former Zebra & Giraffe front-man Greg Carlin.\n\u201cWe can barely contain our excitement for this album! From Wellington, which is about a little town in the Western Cape that we fell in love with, to Feet which is about how difficult it is to sometimes be honest with the people we love, Leaving Town, letting go of that love, to Faithful, about being in love with what we do for a living. LOVE seems to be a recurring theme\u2026 These songs are a collection of our experiences, feelings, moments, and memories we have made on this flipping awesome journey, which are all as beautiful as a secret sunrise.\u201d\n\u201cTHE SECRET SUNRISE\u201d had its debut on the 947 Breakfast Xpress and the response was something special! With almost 12K views, 128 shares and over 400 reactions, it\u2019s safe to say that the live broadcast video made an impact\u2026\nThe album has been enthusiastically received by the public and critics alike. Music blogger Al Broide gives it 4 stars and writes:\n\u2018The Secret Sunrise\u2019 is a great debut record. Not only is the record multi-faceted but it shows so much of the group\u2019s personality thanks to its quirky lyrics and sometimes unusual instrumentals. This is a proudly South African album. Sure, it\u2019s a pop album with an international appeal, but there are so many different African elements sonically. Not only does it broaden the appeal locally, but it also shows that Rubber Duc have released an album that is a true representation of themselves and when an artist does that, the audience can instantly pick it up and the connection is much stronger.\nRubber Duc have strategically planned every aspect of this release and the preparation shows. There are plenty of single choices on the record and it\u2019s easily one of the best pop records to come out of South Africa this year. This is definitely a record you should be adding to your holiday playlist this December.\n\u201cARE WE THERE YET?\u201d the first single off the album, made it to number 1 on the Jacaranda SA Top 20. With its instant \u2018saxy\u2019 hook in the intro, the single has something to say about the world we live in:\n\u201cSocial media consumes our lives. Sometimes we just need to let our hair down and focus on what may be considered old-school and \u201cimportant\u201d. We are constantly trawling timelines, reading about how amazing everyone\u2019s lives are. Why don\u2019t we take that time to relax and read a book or talk to someone instead?\u201d\nFrom time to time, Rubber Duc also calls on the incredible drumming skills of Leeroy Sauls to add some additional bang on stage. Lee also drums on the album.\nRUBBER DUC plans to release the second single off the album in February 2017, but they aren\u2019t resting on their laurels\u2026 Work on the next album has already started!\nAlthough their style and genre is hard to define \u2013 Amiel calls it the love child of Mango Groove and Mumford & Sons \u2013 their music appeals to a diverse group of people across all age groups. Rubber Duc believes that music provides a platform to bring people together, to change the world, even if just for a moment... In their own words: \u201cWhen people sing your music back to you, whether it is one person or a thousand, the point is that the message has touched someone in one way or another.\u201d\nThe Rubber Duc brand is growing and the band is gathering fans across the globe\u2026 They are looking forward to travelling more and doing what they do best: Making music and making people happy!",

Survivors who wished to object got just three minutes and some who went over their time were cut off, in tears, by Justice Michel Shore.\n\u201cBasically to us this looks like a complete sham, that they put on this day of hearings so they could say, \u2018Well we listened to those survivors,\u201d\u2018 Rajotte said.\nShore ruled Friday that the settlement, which includes $750 million for the survivors, $50 million for an Indigenous healing foundation and $75 million for legal fees, could go ahead.\nSurvivors are each expected to receive between $25,000 and $50,000.\nShore said he will issue his reasons for his ruling in a month or longer.\nLawyer Tony Merchant, whose firm represents some of the victims, said after Friday\u2019s decision that most of the people affected by the \u201960s Scoop want to move on after nine years of fighting for compensation.\nBut Doug Racine, another lawyer who also represents survivors, said the 90-day deadline for opting out of the deal is too short and that anyone who doesn\u2019t opt out will be considered to have accepted it.\nCritics argue that accepting the deal could mean waiving the right to sue for sexual and physical abuse that some adoptees experienced.\nThe clock will start ticking soon, which Racine said doesn\u2019t leave much time for his clients to decide.\n\u201cIn order to advise your client, you would have to have their social services record. You\u2019d want to determine whether or not when they were taken as a child whether or not it was legal, because if it wasn\u2019t legal, then you want them to opt out because you have a good lawsuit,\u201d Racine explained.\n\u201cI would think you\u2019d want a year. I mean, our law firm is having difficulty tracking down the adoption records,\u201d he added.\nOpponents say there is a clause in the agreement that if 2,000 people agree to opt out it can be declared void.\nRajotte, who was taken from her community in Saskatchewan when she was a baby and raised by a Manitoba family, said that she\u2019s travelled to reserves across Canada and found many survivors who had no knowledge of the settlement.\nShe said the government should have mailed information to every First Nation, and that survivors deserve an adjudication process for compensation similar to what residential school survivors received.\n\u201cThe Liberal government when they got voted in said that they wanted to form a new relationship with us. This is horrible the way they\u2019ve treated us,\u201d Rajotte said.\nRacine said his firm is considering an appeal and will be examining options this week.\nThe deal is also under fire for leaving out Metis survivors. The federal government has argued that Metis weren\u2019t recognized as having Indigenous rights at the time, so Ottawa can\u2019t be held responsible for those children.",

        "raw_content": "Scouting the Hills\nI started by checking out Faxxon this morning. My first stop was an apple tree hidden in the towering white pines. I found it several years ago when tracking a buck in the snow. It was loaded with apples then, but I haven\u2019t seen that repeated in the last, now three years. There were no apples in it, nor more than a handful in any of the next dozen or more that I checked.\nI proceeded down the trail, and I wasn\u2019t surprised to see deer trails coming through the ferns heading toward the field.\nOne was so well used that I had to mark it, and I found a great spot for an early season tree stand.\nThen I proceeded down to the logging road, and again I wasn\u2019t disappointed\u2013lots of track, and as always, one very big set of tracks.\nThe blackberries that have southern exposure have ripe fruit, so I added them to my breakfast menu.\nI then skirted the field to check out the apple trees there. As I turned the corner to the first tree I came face to beak, if you will, with a hen turkey and her nine poults.\nHen Turkey with Poults\nThey were only 30 feet from me. I froze, and the hen slowly moved to gather and move her young, several of which had been dusting themselves under the tree, which had a good crop of red apples. She led them into the field. I paralleled them, but didn\u2019t want to push them into full flight. I saw one more tree with apples, but did not check out others there for fear off driving the turkeys towards the road. This was obviously her second clutch. All of them were only about two-thirds the size you would expect for this time of year. The biggest were only slightly larger than a big rooster. As I went back to the truck, I came across pin cherry bushes that were loaded with ripe fruit.\nI then went to the field where we sled. The most noticeable thing was the red clover throughout the field.\nThere was much deer sign, mostly trails leading out of the cover and into the field. Again four beautiful apple trees and not a half-dozen apples between them. I then went up top where some of the trees along the edge of the road had a few apples.\nMy assessment overall from this one day, and what I have observed at J.E. and along the roadside, is that this is going to be a terrible apple year and a good year for almost every other kind of fruit. The acorns look good, but it is too yearly to call the shot, as the big drops will come in just about a month.\nBeechnuts are the next big question, and we are about two weeks from getting our answer.\nBear season opens in less than 8 days, and archery season for deer and turkey is just 15 days later.\nPosted in Bowhunting, Deer, Outdoors, Scouting\t| Tagged Scouting, turkey | Leave a comment\n\u201cWater, Water\u201d or \u201cHe\u2019s Back\u201d\nI couldn\u2019t make up my mind how to title this, so I chose two of the most important things that I saw today.\nI made my way from the back door to the junction of Routes 1 and 1A. When I saw that Rte. 1 was still very wet, I knew that I should have worn my rubber boots. So I turned up the higher Rte. 1A and immediately saw fresh deer droppings. I think they are avoiding the higher water levels too.\nThe flora and fauna are definitely taking on the fall look. The sarsaparilla is turning brown, the Indian pipes are in full bloom, and the Indian cucumbers are not quite ripe. The same can be said for the blackberries. The bunchberry is however in the ripe stages with a bumper crop. There were little streams of water flowing everywhere, and in many places the old logging road looked like a cranberry bog in flood stage.\nYou could see even in the smallest trickles of water where a week ago they were gushing streams clearing a path to the bigger brooks and ponds. I\u2019m sure that sometime in the last 60 years I must have seen an August like this, but I can\u2019t remember one. It looks like May or October with these kinds of water levels, and the ground cannot absorb anymore now and probably not for days to come.\nI made my way up to Buck Knob, and at first I was taken aback at the swath of bunchberries, but these were almost void of fruit. Then I put 2+2 together, and I figured out that here I am standing in the spot that is home to more bears than anywhere else for miles around, so that explained it. The bears are grazing on them. They are edible by the way.\nThen I made my way to the red hot Stand #2, and bingo, there was sign from every conceivable critter, including fresh buck droppings. Then down to Stand #1, where I slapped myself upside the head. I forgot to put a card in the camera last week!\nSo I made my way home. I was pretty proud of myself. After doing all that, I was done and home in less than an hour and a half. Not bad for a 69 year-old who four days ago was in the emergency room. When I got home, I was greeted by four crows that had been feasting on *all* of my ripe tomatoes! Hell hath no fury like that of ticked of Italian tomato farmer.\nThe camera at Stand #2 showed an amazing amount of activity, largely because the acorns are falling early. There were several videos of deer and two of bears. The first of which checked out the camera 90 minutes after I set it last week. When there was no animal on the video, the camera was recording footsteps repeatedly.\nThe big news however is that our black canine is back! The not so good news is that the video quality is not suitable for this blog. I\u2019m hoping that Tony can \u201cphotoshop\u201d it. The black coyote/wolf was there in daylight again, as were almost all of the animals, except one doe and another that had a fawn. All in all, I have never had a single camera placement that has produced so much in such a short time, and that is especially true in the summer.\nWelcome to my little slice of heaven.\nPosted in Bear, Deer, Outdoors, Photography, Scouting, Weather, Wildlife\t| Tagged bear, black bear, bunchberries, coyote, deer | Leave a comment\nRapid River: A Challenge and a History Lesson\nBack in mid-June of this year, Tony and I went to fish the Rapid River in the Rangeley region of Maine. This was result of our first trip there in June of 2012. That 2012 trip was one of exploration, physical effort, and great reward. The exploration came from us going on research, hearsay, and trusting our gut. The physical effort came in the form of a two-mile hike in waders on a logging road in warm weather. The reward was some great fishing.\nGreat Fishing on the Rapid River in 2012\nWe didn\u2019t know what we were getting into back in 2012, but we hoped it would be worth the gamble and effort. It certainly was. I caught five native brook trout, including the biggest of my life, an 18-incher.\n18-Inch Brook Trout in 2012\nTony caught five wild (meaning they were born in the river) landlocked salmon and a native brookie.\nTony\u2019s 13-Inch Brookie in 2012\nMost of the salmon were taken on dry flies, by far the most exciting way to catch them.\nWild 17-Inch Landlocked Salmon in 2012\nThe hike out was tough, but not as tough as it would have been had Tony not made an extra trip back to the truck in the midday heat to retrieve food, water, and most importantly shoes so we could carry our waders instead wearing them. It was a very memorable day to say the least.\nSo we looked forward to our next trip there, but with some adjustments to our way of getting there. We decided to book a stay with Lakewood Camps, which is located on Lower Richardson Lake, just above Middle Dam and the beginning of the Rapid, where we fished on our previous trip. The lodge has a long history of lodging sportsmen in the region, and that is well documented. The most frequent method of reaching the lodge is by driving to South Arm on Lower Richardson Lake and taking a boat provided by the lodge the five miles across the lake to the camp, which was the only way of reaching it back in the day.\nMotoring Across Lower Richardson Lake\nWe provided a rating of the lodge here.\nA few days before our arrival, the discharge (or flow) from the dam was 2,000 cubic feet per second (CFPS). When we arrived, it was down to 400 CFPS. That is two extremes\u2013very high and a little low.\nThat makes where you fish and how you fish difficult to ascertain. All fishing is fly fishing only, and all hooks must be barbless.\nThe fishing was challenging. If it weren\u2019t for a nice backwash that Tony spotted and many other fishermen missed, our success would have been very different. We caught most of our trout and salmon on dries, which is preferable, but with the river so properly named, every fish was a challenge to land.\nTony caught his biggest native brookie (16\u2033) along with several others and several nice salmon. He earned them because he was observant enough to spot that nice backwash that was holding so many fish.\nThe other mission we had was to see and fish near Forest Lodge, the home of author Louise Dickinson Rich. She wrote a number of books, mostly about living here in the \u201940s. Her most famous was \u201cWe Took to the Woods.\u201d It is an amazing book about an amazing lady during a time in our history that is not written about enough. It was all about her life here in what was then wilderness, and I can assure that it hasn\u2019t changed much.\nWe fished in front of her house and caught some fish just as she did 70 years ago.\nCatching Native Brook Trout In Front of Forest Lodge\nTony even saw a machine that he could not identify on the porch of her house, which is now a museum of sorts. The machine was a wringer washer, like we used in the \u201940s and \u201950s.\nForest Lodge Wringer Washer\nYou can stay at the lodge, by the way, as did three fishermen from New Hampshire.\nIt is a beautiful area and worth the effort to get there by boat, plane, or by hiking.\nRapid River Beauty Near Forest Lodge\nYou can access the area by car only if you stay at Forest Lodge, but you will need a 4WD with great ground clearance, lots of patience, and good driving skills over several miles of very, very rough roads.\nThis area also produced some other women that were ahead of their times in their independence and their skills in sports dominated by men. Carrie Stevens lived further up the lake at Upper Dam and designed and tied the most famous flies for salmon and trout in the 1920s and continued to do so for decades. Her patterns are still used today.\nThen there was Fly Rod Crosby, yes a woman, and world famous fly caster and outdoors woman.\nSeveral of our presidents fished here as well.\nFishing and history are often very compatible.\nPosted in fish, Fishing, fly fishing, Fly Tying, Maine, Trout\t| Tagged fish, fishing, fly fishing, Maine | 2 Comments\nAugust 5, 2014 by wlags\nTo quote this generation\u2026OMG is Stand #2 hot!\nI only have one camera out now because of Angie. The last time I was in the woods I moved it from Buck Knob to Stand #2 because of all the previous photos there of bear, deer, coyote (wolf?), and bobcat.\nIt has been there less than 2 weeks, I think. In that time there were three bear visits (a dozen photos, all in daylight), several deer, including a buck on two visits, and a moose.\nWhen I started in this morning, I saw that there were still plenty of blueberries in the field, and I thought that the bears should be hitting them. As I headed up the hill, I noticed several overturned logs, stumps, and rocks; a sure sign of bear, as they look for insects. I also saw some moose track, but I wasn\u2019t very optimistic that the moose would pass the camera. They rarely travel that trail.\nSo when I got home, I wasn\u2019t surprised at all by the bear photos. However, I was surprised that it appeared to be at least two different bears, and maybe three.\nBear at Stand #2\nI was surprised that the moose did pass in front of the camera, but too far away for good photos. I feel confident that it is the same young bull that I got pictures of on Buck Knob late last month.\nThe deer were not a surprise, but given that this camera is not set up on a food source, but rather a transition zone, I\u2019m surprised at the frequency of the deer and all of the other animals.\nIt shows the value of a diversified environment, such as cutovers, open areas, wetland, dense evergreens, and open hardwoods. This spot is within a few yards of all of those, and this is why such a variety of wildlife call it home.\nPosted in Bear, Moose, Photography, Wildlife\t| Tagged bear, black bear, Moose | Leave a comment",

        "title": "Thailand\u2019s Military Coup: A Tenuous Democracy - World Policy",
        "raw_content": "Thailand\u2019s Military Coup: A Tenuous Democracy\nBy Lara Pham\nAfter over six months of anti-government protests, Thailand\u2019s army imposed martial law throughout the country and, on Thursday, May 22nd, officially carried out military coup. The army vowed to only stay in power to encourage dialogue between conflicting parties, and restore civilian rule once peace and stability were restored among the people. But it has since reneged on its promise, staying in power. While the streets remain relatively calm in Bangkok and other areas of Thailand, should there be cause for concern?\nThailand is no stranger to coups. Since the end of the country\u2019s absolute monarchy in 1932, the country has undergone no less than 12 successful coups, with the most recent in 2006. Those who seem surprised by recent activities have been called na\u00efve and uninformed. A \u201ccoup\u201d or \u201cmilitary takeover\u201d can assume a different form in the Thai context, where perhaps quotidian life has barely changed, as opposed to elsewhere like Egypt. But this fa\u00e7ade should not detract from the military\u2019s efforts to undermine democracy.\nWhile the military takeover has created an international frenzy, the streets remain relatively calm in Thailand. Although the curfew has created some traffic issues and long lines for public transit, reports show that daily life as barely changed. People are going to work. Airports are still running with daily incoming and outgoing flights as scheduled. Taxis and public transportation are available, though perhaps more crowded around curfew. Tourist attractions, government offices, shops, restaurants, and malls remain open, but have adjusted their hours for the curfew. A quick glance at city streets show that martial law has had little impact on day-to-day life. It seems only protestors and Facebook users have problems.\nHas Thailand remained truly unchanged? Or is this sense of complacency merely the calm before the storm?\nThe relatively undisturbed streets of Thailand mask the underlying instability that could jeopardize the country\u2019s democratic prospects. When General Prayuth Chan-ocha imposed martial law on May 20th, and subsequently assumed power on Thursday of that week \u2013 he made sweeping changes to Thai democracy. As expected, a new sheriff comes with new rules, but his changes were above and beyond the realm of acceptable. Thailand\u2019s constitution of 2007 was suspended, except for Section 2, which acknowledges the king as the head of state. Schools were closed from Friday through Sunday, which are normally opened. A curfew was set from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m., but has now been somewhat relaxed.\nThai television and radio stations were broadcasting messages from the army. Many international news channels like CNN and BBC have been taken off the air. Social media platforms are threatened with shutdown if they contain \u201cprovocative content.\u201d Political gatherings of five people or more are banned with penalties of up to one year in jail time and/or a 10,000 baht ($300) fine. Traces of Thai democracy have been eradicated.\nThe international community has explicitly expressed their concerns about the country\u2019s tenuous democracy. The U.S. State Department called for \u201ca return to democracy through early elections;\u201d United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon urged \u201cfull respect for democratic principles;\u201d the European Union issued a statement highlighting the importance of returning \u201crapidly to the legitimate democratic process;\u201d and Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga stated that he hopes that the conflict can be \u201csettled peacefully through the democratic process.\u201d The world is worried and rightfully so.\nWhile it may appear as though the coup\u2019s effects are limited to politicians and protestors, the underlying reality is more troubling. Benjamin Tausig, a professor of ethnomusicology at Stony Brook University who specializes in Thai music and protest, argues that the military\u2019s recent behavior constitutes a \u201cmajor shift in the way ordinary Thais live.\u201d Controlling media (social and traditional) and detaining journalists, activists, and academics fundamentally violates principles of democracy. Tausig also notes that this latest coup is different to that in 2006 since the military \u201ckicked out\u201d the entire government, not only the prime minister. He highlights the risk of the military replacing key structural elements of the parliament and legal system \u201calmost certainly without popular approval.\u201d A military government would be out of the ordinary.\nIt is disconcerting to see the military facilitate nontransparent, backdoor political dealings. It is holding former Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and others in custody against their will in a secret location to give them \u201ctime to think\u201d and \u201cfind common ground.\u201d The army is also specifically seeking out those who are critical of the coup and working to silence them, including former education minister Chaturon Chaseing. Whether or not military rule will create long-term stability and democracy is certainly questionable. Duncan McCargo, professor of political science at the University of Leeds and a senior research affiliate at Columbia University who is best known for his extensive fieldwork-based research on the politics of Thailand, would like to see the Thai people and international community continue its demands for a \u201ctimetable for a return to political normalcy.\u201d\nThe military has said that it plans to hold elections sometime in the second half of 2015. Unfortunately, this rough, lengthy deadline for elections is conditional on vague reforms that include potentially amending \u201crules and regulations.\u201d The military cannot continue to proceed without a transparent and accountable framework for its return to civilian rule. The coup might seem invisible in Thais\u2019 daily life, but it has disrupted the democratic foundation of that life.\nRecent events warrant a robust pathway to return to democracy. The international community can continue its diplomatic pressure, which will hopefully open up space for the Thai people to democratically determine their political future.\nLara Pham is an editorial assistant at World Policy Journal and a master's candidate in international affairs at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs.\n[Photo courtesy of Wikimedia and Wikimedia]\nMagnetic North: Artists and the Arctic Circle\nThe Bergdahl Affair",

It is all about what you can do for your customers (target audience).\n2. The letter should be personalized. In other words, if you want to know how to write a marketing letter that will land you new clients, you should find out as much as possible about those people you are trying to deal with. This way, you can develop personalized letters that are more likely to help you achieve your marketing goals.\n3. Must have an attention grabber. If you can't grab the attention of your readers with a strong headline, you are likely to fail to be successful in your email marketing campaign. Knowing how to write sales letterd often equals to knowing how to write effective headlines. Take time to learn this skill, and it will pay off in the long run.\n4. Don't be a robot. If your text sounds like it was written by a marketing robot, then it won't yield any good results. Be creative, use the tone appropriate for your target audience and make sure your letter isn't boring to read.\n5. Make sure you don't get under the spam filter. It does no good to write and send your letters if they are never going to be read by anybody. If you use too many of the selling words, they serve as signals for the filter-robots that you are a spammer, in which case your letters are unlikely be read at all. You can easily find the information online about what words and phrases you should avoid in order to get past the filters.\n6. Make sure your grammar and spelling are perfect. This hint is kind of obvious but the fact that so many marketing letters contain errors made us put this rule onto the list.\nAlso read: Increase organic traffic by implementing SEO rewriting techniques\nThere are a lot of people who want to know how to write sales letters that will bring more customers to the company. Just a few of them, however, are willing to go all the way and work hard in order to produce an effective letter. It is much easier to draft a few paragraphs and send them to a bunch of people in hopes it would somehow help the company. Nevertheless, it takes much more than 10 minutes to compose a sales letter that will actually be read by the target audience. Now that you know how to write a marketing letter, we hope that it will help you succeed in your sales campaigns.",

It was back in July 2017 when the brand first premiered its pickup which utilizes the chassis, as well as certain body panels, of the Nissan Navara. However this version is set out to be the most expensive one yet.\nThis new model has a six-cylinder engine and the 4MATIC permanent all-wheel drive. Specifically, the new X-Class is fitted with the turbodiesel 3.0-liter V6 engine that benefits from the common-rail direct injection. With this, it can deliver an output of 258 hp (190 kW) with top torque measured to be 406 lb.-ft. (550 Nm) and available at 1,4000 rpm and up to 3,200 rpm.\nAs a comparison, the highest specification of the biturbodiesel V6 engine fitted in the Volkswagen Amarok is only able to deliver 224 hp (165 kW). In addition, while the amount of torque is similar, it is available beginning 1,5000 rpm. Paired to this engine is the 7G-TRONIC PLUS automatic transmission having steering wheel shift paddles as well as the ECO start/stop function. This transmission has been modified to allow it to transmit 60% of the available torque to the vehicle's rear wheels to result in a rear-based configuration, highly suitable especially for a pickup truck.\nRead the entire article Mercedes-Benz unveils X350d 4Matic X-Class at 2018 Geneva Motor Show\nExactly one year ago on March 6th, Lamborghini decided to finally reveal the Huracan Performance at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show. This year, the automaker decided to get rid of the coupe\u2019s roof for the same event that is held yearly in Switzerland. The Spyder pretty much has everything you would want in the fixed roof model, but only this model can pull off this type of body style, with the open top.\nEven with the company\u2019s same Aerodinamica Lamborghini Attiva (ALA), the soft top Spyder has not been hampered in any way. The reason for the ALA is for it to create the sleekest body possible and consequently boost performance. The droptop Huracan also borrowed the coupe\u2019s revised four-wheel drive system, along with an upgraded suspension and the optimized stability control.\nAside from that, Lamborghini\u2019s engineers gave the droptop a lot of forged carbon fiber bits to cut down a total of 35 kilograms (77 pounds) over the standard Huracan Spyder, while also fiddling with its steering. The model now weighs 1,507 kilograms (3,322 pounds) when dry - distributed 43:57 front/rear. The fabric roof can then be lowered at speeds of up to 30 miles per hour (50 kilometers per hour).\nRead the entire article Lamborghini Huracan Performante Spyder arrives in style\nThe ever growing compact luxury crossover segment has something new for us again, as Lexus revealed the production ready UX at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show.

Let us all welcome the new Rimac C_Two hypercar.\nRimac unveiled this new electric hypercar creation at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show, implicitly announcing itself as true challenger to Tesla.

Providing a glimpse of the new BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe and the BMW M8 Gran Coupe, the new BMW Concept M8 Gran Coupe is being unveiled at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show.\nEssentially, the new BMW Concept M8 Gran Coupe serves as a follow up for the BMW 8 Series Coupe Concept. Unveiled in 2017, the 8 Series Coupe Concept offers a glimpse into the possible design of the much-awaited 8 Series grand tourer that will be launched into the market this year as part of BMW\u2019s massive product offensive. Adrian van Hooydonk, Senior Vice President BMW Group Design, remarked that the Concept M8 Gran Coupe serves as a window to what he described as the most exotic and alluring variant of the new 8 Series flagship. It defines luxury in a whole new meaning \u2013 it is polarizing and ultra-sporty.\nJust like the BMW Concept 8 Series, the new BMW Concept M8 Gran Coupe is influenced by BMW\u2019s new design language, as evident on its expressive surfaces, which graphic arrangement is underscored by precise character lines. The front end sports a muscular, precisely contoured bonnet as well as radiator grille kidneys which contours broaden as they drop towards the road to emphasize the low center of gravity of the Concept M8 Gran Coupe.\nRead the entire article BMW Concept M8 Gran Coupe unveiled at 2018 Geneva Motor Show\nAudi unveils camouflaged e-tron prototype SUV at 2018 Geneva Motor Show\nAudi\u2019s first all-electric model is on the way, and the German premium carmaker is brandishing a new model -- the Audi e-tron prototype SUV \u2013 at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show. This new prototype serves as a precursor of an upcoming all-electric sporty SUV from the brand with the four rings.\nThe Audi e-tron prototype is wrapped in camouflage, but this isn\u2019t the traditional prototype disguise. Whereas traditional camouflage is intended to conceal the true appearance of a certain new model before they are officially revealed to the public, the one worn by the vehicle simply reveals the status of this study as a prototype that will be used for various tests.\nThe camouflage worn by the e-tron prototype is a specially developed design film that expresses the vehicle\u2019s designation as an e-tron model. The camouflage is basically a distorted e-tron lettering that spans from the front end, through the flanks, over the roof and to the rear end.\nRead the entire article Audi unveils camouflaged e-tron prototype SUV at 2018 Geneva Motor Show",

I can't wait to get home and watch that again tonight, because we want to be better than that next week.\n\"It's great that everyone's got opinions because that means people are talking about our great game. But ultimately it's not for me to get involved in. We're one game into 27 games. There's a long way to go.\"\n\"Everyone wants to try and win silverware. It's a lot easier said than done.\"\nThe Victory boss was however happy to acknowledge the efforts of his team as one of the most complete performances he has overseen since succeeding Ange Postecoglou as head coach 12 months ago.\n\"It was,\" he said.\n\"I really wanted to get on the front foot. We really thought that was the best way to get a result tonight. And we squeezed them and pressed them really hard and forced them into some errors. Forcing them to play the ball into contest.\n\"When we picked the ball up from a contest we looked really dangerous going forward.\"\n\"Throughout most of that 90 minutes it was close to spot on. The boys shed a lot of sweat, working hard each other. We've set a standard tonight, for ourselves.\n\"That's a standard we've set.\"\nMuscat will hope his players hit the same heights next weekend, when Victory go away to fierce rivals Adelaide United, who tackle reigning champions Brisbane Roar in their own campaign curtain raiser on Sunday.\n2014/15 Melbourne Victory Memberships are on sale now!

        "raw_content": "I have received a tremendous response from the article I wrote about my 19 year old son\u2019s death from bi-polar disorder. Many parents and other family members are struggling with similar issues and wrote me privately seeking advice on how to keep their own children from following Doni\u2019s path. My heart aches for them as I feel their desperation and pain. I wish I could reveal to them the ultimate secret. But if I knew the answers, Doni would still be here today.\nI don\u2019t know how to cure mental illness, or how to alleviate its pain, or how to motivate someone to stay alive. But I do have some insight into how I learned and grew, lived and even smiled through those challenges. That is something I can share.\nMy daughter Elisheva lost a twin baby and a brother this year. She hugged me as I buried my baby just a few rows away from hers, and we both cried together about adulthoods we\u2019d never enjoy.\nNow its eight months since her baby died and seven weeks since her brother died and she and I were alone in the kitchen. \u201cHow are you doing inside?\u201d I asked her.\n\u201cOkay,\u201d she said, confirming what I thought. \u201cBut, you know what I really don\u2019t like?\u201d she continued. \u201cI really don\u2019t like it when people come over to me and say, \u2018Wow, you\u2019ve have a really hard year\u2019. I know they mean well, but I just want to tell them: I\u2019ve had some really hard weeks in a really good year.\u201d\nI was so proud of her. I asked her how she came to that thought. With a twinkle she said, \u201cThat\u2019s how you raised me!\u201d\nElisheva is my oldest, and easiest. She is the one God tricked me with. He gave me her first so that I\u2019d want a bunch of children just like her. And then, in His wisdom, He gave me a bunch of children with bunches of challenges. She was there from the start to watch me cope with it all.\nOne had ADHD and was flying all the time. It was hard to keep track of him, he moved so fast. Another moved so slowly that she earned the nick name \u201cMolasses in January\u201d. A few had learning issues: this one dyslexic, that one with auditory processing issues, this one with hearing loss, that one with sensory integration problems, this one with anger management and chutzpah challenges, that one with executive function disorder. My husband joked that our family is like a magazine rack\u2014we have so many issues!\nAs the children grew, so did the challenges. I read, and learned, (ate chocolate) and consulted with teachers, and I grew along with them. The more challenges I faced, the more Torah I needed. More effective than chocolate, Torah actually illuminates pathways to increasing one\u2019s capacity. If the challenges were not going to disappear, it was either concede defeat or rise to meet them. As a child I loved to sing, \u201cRise and shine and give God your glory,\u201d so I chose to rise.\nReframing Tests\nThe first thing I needed to do was reframe. It took a decade of work, listening to hundreds of tapes and reading dozens of books, and praying that it should all sink in, but I finally came upon my own understanding of \u201ctest\u201d or \u201cnesayon\u201d. It is a custom designed workshop from Hashem, lovingly created just for me, to best further my soul\u2019s growth and development. Once I began to see the hard things in this light, I could see the love in them as well, and the love gave me strength to trust and plow forward.\nI have a friend who asked me, \u201cWhy bother trying so hard? If you pass one test God just gives you another, harder test!\u201d We both had sons with mental illness. She told me she feels like she is always trying to catch the bus\u2026 always running behind in the dust and exhaust, always running, but never catching it so she can sit down.\nI see it very differently. If a child wants to be a doctor, he first needs to take middle school science. After passing the tests on that level, he can understand and gain from high school science. After he graduates high school, even if on the top of his class, he must take science in college again, but on a much higher level. Then he has to cram even more to take the MCATs and only then can he begin his medical studies. It\u2019s only after a lot more tests that he can finally become a doctor.\nThe completion of each test does lead to a more a difficult course of study and to harder tests, but level by level, it helps one grow and increase capacity until one is ready to realize a lifelong dream. The prize for \u201cpassing the test\u201d is not that you get to be a doctor, but that you become the person who can be a doctor.\nSo too with our souls. We are here to use this world and its circumstances as tools to grow and nurture our true inner selves. We are gifted with the opportunity to go from level to level, from test to test. So of course we can never \u201ccatch the bus;\u201d there is always something more to accomplish. But I don\u2019t feel like I\u2019m running in the dust and exhaust.\nDid you ever open a gift only to find another gift wrapped inside? And when you tear off the wrapping paper from that box you see there is another and yet another? Each one is smaller than the last, but we all know that good things come in small packages\u2026\nBut I\u2019d rather have a sparkling connection than a sparkling stone. When I learn a Torah nugget and grow through it, I feel like it is such a gift. But each time I tear off the wrapping paper and delve deeper there is a bigger gift inside, and when I open that one, the gift inside is even bigger. For me, it is a never ending journey of discovery, sometimes in text, sometimes inside myself, sometimes in relationships, sometimes in how I can feel, sometimes in what I can accomplish, sometimes in what I can\u2019t accomplish. I love never knowing what is around the corner, but knowing with certainty that there is something good, and if I reach for it, really stretch, I can have it.\nSometimes the workshops are really hard. Like seeing a baby turn blue and rushing him to the hospital, or dealing with a defiant child, or having very judgmental relatives, or having a school reach the end of its tolerance or ability for one of your children, or losing a friend, or losing a job. And sometimes they are even harder.\nOne of my \u201cin the moment\u201d coping strategies is a Jewish form of meditation. I have a few verses that I use to help me focus my energy and shape my experience. Sometimes I sing them, making up a tune. Sometimes I chant them over and over. Sometimes I visualize each letter in my mind\u2019s eye. Sometimes I can squeeze just saying it once into the trying moment. For scary times, I say the last line of Adon Olam, \u201cGod is with me, I will not fear.\u201d For confusing times, especially for times when I think the circumstance \u201cshould\u201d be different, I say, \u201cThere is nothing else but God.\u201d When I want to elevate my mood, I say a line from Hallel, \u201cThis is the day God has made, let us rejoice and be happy therein.\u201d When I am brimming with thankfulness, I say, \u201cGive thanks to God, His kindness is everlasting.\u201d It is important to find verses that personally resonate. I settled on these after looking around a bit for what I really liked.\nTrust & Acceptance\nAnother important strategy is building trust and acceptance. I work on really feeling: \u201cThings are just the way they are supposed to be.\u201d \u201cI am being challenged at my growth point.\u201d \u201cI am capable of doing what is necessary to not only get through this, but to grow through this.\u201d The tool I use for that is prayer. I do a lot of direct talking to God, in whatever words come at the time, like talking to a caring father.\nAnd I use the siddur. In the morning blessings where it says \u201cwho makes for me all my needs\u201d I try to think in two ways: Thank you God for taking care of all my needs (if I don\u2019t have it, I must not need it, please help me accept that), and also, Thank you God for creating all my needs. (I wouldn\u2019t need what I need unless You made me need it. You must think this need is good for me. Please help me feel thankful for it.)\nBuilding trust, feeling bitachon, is a long term process. Each attempt creates an additional layer, even if very thin. But, eventually they add up. I try to add layers when I say blessings on food. The blessing \u201cthat everything was made according to His word\u201d helps me remember that \u201cthis situation (whatever is happening right now) is designed by God, it couldn\u2019t be this way unless He desires it\u201d. If He made it, it must be good, even if it\u2019s hard. The after-blessing \u201cwho creates many types of life and their deficiencies\u201d reminds me that even missing pieces are gifts.\nSometimes I compare people to Swiss cheese. Swiss cheese has holes by design, and so do we; our holes are not mistakes. They are opportunities to become co-creators with God, to fill in the blanks He left for us, to create ourselves in the image of our choosing. Whether it\u2019s a hole in myself, or in someone I am dealing with, I strive to see it as an asset rather than as a liability.\nExpanding Who We Are\nFor prolonged challenges I could do nothing less than change and grow into a new person on a daily, and sometimes on an hourly, basis. As Jews, it is our first, and perhaps most powerful, tool. Immediately after we exited Egypt, God commanded us about the new month and said (according to Rav Hirsch) \u201cthis newness shall be to you the first of newnesses\u201d Ex. 12:2. A deeper level of meaning tells us, \u201cDon\u2019t be stuck how or who you are. Make yourself new. It\u2019s in your hands, take the initiative, become who you chose to be.\u201d\nThe strategy I use for that is tucked inside a verse many say on a daily basis, \u201cGod, open up my lips that my mouth will declare your praise\u201d (Ps. 51:15). In Hebrew the word for \u201cmy lips\u201d (safatai) can also mean my borders (as in sefat hayam) or my boundaries. So I have this thought in mind: \u201cGod, I am only this big, I am limited in my accomplishments, and whatever I have achieved so far, I am not big enough to handle the task at hand. So, please God, open up my boundaries and allow me to flow to places that I have never flowed to before. But please, don\u2019t let that flow go all over the place. Please help me channel it so that my mouth shall declare your praise. Please help me be Your servant and do Your will.\u201d\nI say the verse as its own prayer when I need it. But I also say it in its usual place in the beginning of the silent Amidah prayer. I first take three steps back, say the verse and then take three steps forward. As I step back, I imagine actually stepping out of my former self and leaving my limited \u201cshape\u201d behind, much like a lobster molting. Then I allow myself to pray, outside my shell, in a place of hopeful vulnerability, until I am able to assume a new shape at the end of the Amida when I step back into my (hopefully) new self. I can\u2019t say I have these thoughts every time, but when I do, they are very helpful.\nIt has been a very challenging and growth producing last couple of decades. But the kids are growing too, three are married, two are in college and as Doni\u2019s high school graduation approached last spring, I told my husband that I finally see a light at the end of the tunnel. He laughed and teased as he told me that that light is actually an oncoming train.\nWho would have thought his words would be so true? I thought about them as the freight train of Doni\u2019s death slammed into our family. But over the years I have learned: even if the train hits hard, and even if it really hurts, if you catch it, you can go very far.\nMay we all merit to catch the trains and ride them far, deep into our new selves.\nPhoto used under Creative Commons from turoczy",

The needles used are single-use, sterile, and disposable. Responses to treatment can sometimes include tiredness or mild dizziness, and very occasionally minor bruising may occur. However, all such reactions are short-lived.\nAcupuncture needles are much finer than needles used for injections and blood tests. When the needle is inserted you may feel a tingling sensation or dull ache\nDo I need to do anything before acupuncture?\nNot really, but please do not arrive really hungry or after a glass or two of wine! If it is your first visit, please be sure to bring a list of the medication you are taking, and remember to wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing.\nCan I have acupuncture if I'm pregnant?\nAbsolutely! If you are pregnant or trying to get pregnant, please make sure that the acupuncturist knows, as some acupuncture points are contra-indicated in pregnancy.\nThese are the most common questions asked, but if you have any queries, feel free to post a comment in the contact page and Jamie will get back to you as soon as possible.",

        "raw_content": "Hope, Fate & The Internet: Our Three-Year Wait For Adoption #2\nIn just the five years that we have been involved in domestic adoption, so many things have changed. But the million-dollar question remains the same: how does adoption happen?\nDomestic newborn adoption does happen, and it can happen to you. We have adopted twice and have had numerous birth mother situations in between our two success stories. The million-dollar question: how does it happen?\nThink about how you met your spouse or how you met your best friend. There was probably some amount of planning involved, but most likely it felt like fate or a higher power connecting the two of you together. The same is true in adoption\u2026you have to take steps to make it happen, but you also must realize not everything is in your control. This can be extremely difficult and test even the most patient and faithful of prospective parents. For me, this realization actually made the waiting bearable, for I knew that there were children in this world meant to be a part of my family, and it was up to me to do everything in my power to bring us together. This isn\u2019t to say it is an easy process; it\u2019s the most difficult thing I\u2019ve had to do and that includes medical school! Try to keep this message in the back of your mind as you complete the steps to a successful adoption.\nThe more difficult part is deciding how to best use your resources to gain the most exposure to potential birth mothers. There are hundreds of agencies, attorneys, facilitators, and websites all wanting to represent you in your journey.\nSo where to begin? The adoption home study is actually the \u201ceasy\u201d part; it\u2019s black and white, has a definite beginning and ending, and questions that can be easily answered. The more difficult part is deciding how to best use your resources to gain the most exposure to potential birth mothers. There are hundreds of adoption agencies, attorneys, facilitators, and websites all wanting to represent you in your journey. My husband and I have utilized all of these at some point in our adoptions, and we have noticed a trend in just the five years that we have been involved in domestic adoption. Potential birth mothers have access to thousands of adoptive parent profiles online at their fingertips, and often they want to make direct contact with you, not an intermediary. At times this can signify a \u201cred flag\u201d, but this is also a chance for you to take the reins and be a real voice behind that online profile. You have to decide if you are willing to be the first point of contact or if you would prefer to have a filter in place to control the information you receive.\nIn the beginning of our journey, we went the more traditional route, thinking that an agency would simply match us with a birth mother and it would be a fairly passive process. We quickly learned that is not how adoption works today! Birth parents typically play a more active role than in the past, and I believe this is due to the prevalence of open adoption and the access they receive from online adoptive parent profiles. So even though we were contracted with an agency, we quickly explored other avenues, as well. The first website we used to publish our online profile was cumbersome, required administrator approval before any content would go live, and did not offer a \u201cblog\u201d-type feature. We ended up matching with our first birthmother through a mutual acquaintance, so we quickly discontinued our profile on that site.\nThe second time around, we were prepared to increase our national exposure, thinking that it was unlikely we would happen to match with someone locally again. We signed up with an adoption facilitator with this goal in mind, and this company was very specific in the steps to complete in order to have a successful adoption, including creating a paper profile and content for their website. We thought we would match quickly, but it took a year before we got the call.\nPer her wishes, we were present during the delivery of the baby, but, immediately after the birth, we could tell something had changed.\nWe matched with this birth mother after meeting in person and sharing a couple phone conversations. While she had a colorful past, we felt good about this match knowing she was healthy (no drug or alcohol use), she lived locally so we wouldn\u2019t have to travel for the baby\u2019s birth, and she seemed committed to her adoption plan. We spent the next four months getting to know each other better through email and in person. We even introduced our kids to each other. As her due date got closer, we started to sense more anxiety and sometimes she would lash out at us. We also felt some trepidation about her relationship with the birth father (who was not her husband); there were still questions remaining about his involvement and willingness to sign over his parental rights. Before we could discuss all of these issues with the adoption counselor and attorneys, she went into labor six weeks early. Per her wishes, we were present during the delivery of the baby, but, immediately after the birth, we could tell something had changed. The husband had clearly changed his mind about parenting a child that was not biologically his, but instead of being honest with us, they tried to marginalize our role and manipulate our contact with the baby. After three days of emotional agony, we stepped away from the situation and asked our lawyer to have them contact us when and if they decided they wanted to place the baby for adoption. The next day we were informed they had decided to parent the baby.\nThis was a pivotal moment in our adoption journey. We weren\u2019t sad over their decision\u2014we didn\u2019t want them to live the rest of their lives with regret; we were sad for the hours away from our daughter we spent cultivating this other relationship, the afternoons I had a colleague cover me at work to get to the birth mom\u2019s doctor appointment, the trips we cancelled as the due date approached, the long emails back and forth to answer their every question about our personal lives. We were willing to do all these things in order to find our child, but for how long? Would we ever have another successful adoption or were we doing this in vain? I truly believed our family was not complete yet, and I knew what obstacles lie ahead of us, but onward we went.\nOur facilitator told us they would put us on \u201ctop priority\u201d after this last situation. I thought, \u201cGreat! That would be perfect, let\u2019s get this over with!\u201d However, after a few months of nothing, we decided to expand our outreach by posting on Adoptimist. I heard about the site from our adoption attorney, and I was excited to discover how user-friendly Adoptimist was compared to the first site we tried. Pictures were easily uploaded, content was edited and posted immediately without requiring administrator approval, and the homepage exposure was a great incentive for me to keep updating my profile.\nI gave up worrying about what I looked like in a picture and realized it was more important to show them some action shots!\nI was hesitant in the beginning to share too much, to add videos, and to post diary entries. I quickly realized that the more I posted, the more hits I received, leading eventually to birth mother emails and phone calls. I believe it was important to share these seemingly mundane tidbits about our lives because it allowed others to see how we really are as parents, where we go, what we do for fun, what we cook for dinner, how we celebrate holidays, etc. You can describe all that stuff as much as you want in your profile, but it makes a world of difference to show them a picture with a brief caption. I gave up worrying about what I looked like in a picture and realized it was more important to show them some action shots! No one likes a swimsuit shot, but I wanted to show them that yes, I do water ski. Once I got over this fear, I think our site was much more successful.\nAlong these same lines, start posting videos! This was a huge hurdle for us, but once we did it, we got lots of positive feedback about them. It also allows visitors to your site to stay on your page longer than if they are just looking at pictures. It really seems to help a prospective birth mom put a voice with your image.\nWe started receiving some birth mom calls because we had a toll-free number on our site. Sometimes it was a legal question: \u201cDo I have to get my boyfriend\u2019s permission to place my child for adoption?\u201d Other times, I would spend an hour on the phone hearing all about two college sweethearts and their disapproving families. We would get so excited after receiving a call like that, but eventually we learned to hold back our emotions until things were more definite. It was difficult to think we made a connection with someone, only to wait for the promised return call that never came. Sometimes we could tell we were communicating with someone being less than honest, and it was extremely helpful to go onto the Adoptimist blog to read others\u2019 comments about potential scams.\nSo three years into our search for our second child, we sat at our dinner table having a come-to-Jesus talk: is it time to fold our cards and move on with our lives?\nAfter a few months, I felt like we were getting closer to the real thing because we were receiving a great deal of contact. I got a message from a woman who was due in a week and she was extremely anxious and unsure of what steps to take. After our adoption facilitator received some information from her to verify she was indeed pregnant and interested in us, we decided to meet her in person the next day. We flew to meet her, and after a couple of conversations, it was clear to us she was not convinced about adoption. She gave birth the following week and remained in touch for a few days after taking her baby home with her. I felt it was our job to present what our option would look like should she choose to place her child; I did not want to pressure her. We even shared our daughter\u2019s birth mom\u2019s number, and they talked in detail about the emotional toll adoption takes on those involved. We left the ball in her court, telling her to contact us if she decided that was the path she wanted to take.

Currently, road access is just 34% in the region, and two-thirds of people across the continent have no access to power. As a result of the infrastructure gap, 2.6% of GDP growth is lost annually.\nAfrica Finance Corporation (AFC) and The Boston Consulting Group (BCG) have joined forces to produce a comprehensive report detailing the steps that governments and private investors need to take to overcome the special challenges of investment in the region and to achieve the immense rewards\u2014both social and monetary\u2014of completing successful infrastructure projects there.\nDrawing on ten years of hands-on institutional experience in the field, the authors identify lessons in best practices for both governments and investors. Governments must recognize the advantages of public-private partnerships, clarify standards and laws, devise suitable fiscal incentives, formulate integrated infrastructure plans, establish dispute resolution mechanisms, and more. Private investors must adopt a holistic entrepreneur/engineer approach to such projects, taking the long view toward project success, developing deep knowledge of target markets and local dynamics, and recognizing that community engagement is a core priority.\nThe report also provides ten case studies of major public-private infrastructure projects in the region\u2014including such landmark efforts as the Cenpower Kpone IPP in Ghana, the Lake Turkana Wind Power farm in Kenya, and the Henri Konan B\u00e9di\u00e9 Bridge in C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire\u2014examining how each evolved, analyzing what went right and what went wrong, and identifying lessons to be learned from each experience.\nThe future of Sub-Saharan Africa will be shaped in part by the success of appropriate efforts to upgrade its infrastructure. Done properly, such projects will bring tremendous benefits to the people of the region, as well as to those who plan and execute each effort to the lasting advantage of all interested parties.",

        "raw_content": "How to use hope to counter fear-driven messages\nMedia Uncovered | Mar 21, 2017\nThe 2017 March for Humanity in Philadelphia was one of many marches spreading hope amid fear\nResearch shows that hope works better than fear - or even facts.\nAs NPR's Shankar Vedantam reported last week on the podcast Hidden Brain, fear is a powerful messaging tool. This is something we've seen over and over again from the Trump administration: Messages about the Muslim ban, violent extremism, and immigration are just a few of the most recent examples of how fear-based messages circulate constantly. Research shows that these messages work most effectively when the listener is either 1) already stressed out and thus vulnerable to acting out of fear; or 2) if the goal of the message is to prevent people from taking action. The result? Large numbers of people supporting inhumane policies who seem like they don't respond to facts about how bad those policies are. And that's precisely because they aren't responding to facts: They are responding to the fear that they hear every day, and research shows that facts do a really bad job of changing someone's mind once they are stressed and afraid.\nFortunately, research also shows that messages framed in terms of hope, especially when coupled with messages that include positive feedback, can counter fearmongering effectively. Hope-based messages can also help people change their minds about key issues. Why? Because when people have made up their minds about an issue, they are prone to only hear facts that support their position - especially if they are already stressed and the facts they hear are framed in terms of fear. But, when people hear messages framed in terms of hope and positive feedback, they are able to digest new information in ways that can ultimately lead to a shift in perspective. Below are three tips for using this critical research to help others overcome the fear they hear every day in order to change minds and build support for humane polices and inclusive communities.\nHow can we use this important research to talk about the issues that matter?\nFacts matter, but values are more powerful. While statistics and facts are important, facts alone fail to change people's minds when they don't support people's pre-existing ideas about an issue - especially if people are already afraid of something, like violent extremism. Research shows that mythbusting is rarely effective at changing minds. Instead of relying on facts alone to counter fear, tell a new story about shared values. For example, instead of arguing with someone's defense of inhumane executive orders like the Muslim ban, stay focused on the impact of the ban itself and how it runs counter to core values of openness, inclusion, and diversity.\nA hopeful story can effectively counter a fear-driven one. The overwhelming number of protests to the Trump administration's executive orders, staff appointments, budget proposal, and so on reflects the hope that millions of people have that things can and should be better. Drawing on this hope to tell stories about effective resistence can help counter the messages of fear that bombard us all daily in the media. Put another way: Instead of trying to just respond to fear, frame messages and stories in ways that aim to give hope to the listener.\nBuilding empathy is key. Because fear of the unknown is strong, it can be difficult to overcome. Emotions that dehumanize others drive bigotry and support for policies that depend upon it. One experiment showed that it is possible to reduce prejudice (the kind that is so often exacerbated by fearmongering) by holding conversations, asking questions, and getting people to put themselves in other people\u2019s shoes. By focusing on and sharing the stories of real people whose lives have been harmed by Trump\u2019s actions, it is possible to cultivate empathy in others.\nHave you ever used hope to help change someone's mind? Or maybe a hopeful story helped to change yours? Tell us about it in the comments or on Facebook.",

The area is home to a number of social care programmes - one of which is child care.\nChild care in Manchester is provided by both the private and public sectors, and there are a number of different roles available in the area as a result. Employment opportunities in Manchester child care include those for nursery nurses, care assistants, teaching assistants, medical professionals and social workers. Whilst many services are operated by Manchester City Council directly, most private child care providers will have to register their business with the council as well. As a result, all applicants will need to demonstrate to recruitment agencies that they hold the relevant qualifications. A traceable history with no criminal convictions will also be a requirement.\nChild minders can also find employment opportunities in and around Manchester, but most of these positions are offered on a self-employed basis. Applicants can often work from their own homes, but representatives from Manchester City Council will insist on an inspection of the home before children can be cared for in it. Child care is also provided at local respite centres, community centres and private day nurseries, so staff vacancies for child care workers in Manchester are relatively easy to come by; although many offer an hourly rate compliant with the National Minimum Wage.\n9 Recruitment Agencies found in Manchester in the Child Care industry.\nFerguson Recruitment - Care Division\nFerguson Recruitment - Care Division strives to deliver excellent candidates within the Care sector; including roles such as Support Workers & Care Assistants.

        "raw_content": "UPDATE: B.C. suspends its strictest roadside penalties\nThe toughest of B.C.'s new impaired driving penalties infringe people's constitutional rights, a judge has ruled.\nPolice in B.C. have broad powers to impound vehicles for 30 days and impose steep penalties on drivers who fail a roadside breath test for alcohol.\nVICTORIA \u2013 Police in B.C. won\u2019t be imposing their toughest roadside penalties for impaired driving until they give accused drivers a way to appeal results of a failed breath test.\nPublic Safety Minister Shirley Bond announced the change Wednesday after a B.C. Supreme Court judge ruled that the most severe of B.C.\u2019s new impaired driving penalties infringe people\u2019s constitutional right to a fair trial.\nRuling on a challenge to the new roadside penalties, Justice Jon Sigurdson said the increased roadside penalties for blowing in the \u201cwarn\u201d range of blood alcohol, from 0.05 to 0.08 per cent, are permissible.\nBut drivers who who blow in the \u201cfail\u201d range above 0.08 should have a chance to challenge the decision if their vehicles are impounded for 30 days and they face thousands of dollars in administrative penalties.\nBond said the court ruling means the B.C. government needs to amend its year-old impaired law to give drivers who exceed 0.08 on the roadside screening device a chance to appeal that reading.\nUntil that is done, \u201cthe circumstances for those in the \u2018fail\u2019 range will revert to what was previously in place,\u201d Bond said. \u201cPolice will have the option of determining whether or not a criminal charge is warranted, and in that case you could face criminal charges and a 90-day administrative driving prohibition.\u201d\nSigurdson ruled that B.C. is within its rights to impose the \u201cwarn\u201d penalties. A blood alcohol reading in the \u201cwarn\u201d range can result in a three-day driving ban, a $200 administrative penalty and another $250 fee to have a driver\u2019s licence reinstated. Drivers may also have their car impounded for three days and be billed for towing and storage.\nFor roadside readings of 0.08 per cent or higher, police have been imposing a 90-day driving ban, a $500 fine and impounding the vehicle for 30 days. That suspension can cost a driver $3,750, including $700 for towing and storage and $1,420 to take a mandatory \u201cresponsible driver\u201d course.\nSigurdson did not immediately strike down the new penalties, but asked for submissions from the province and the driver who challenged the penalties to determine what comes next.\nLast week Premier Christy Clark and Public Safety Minister Shirley Bond celebrated the results of the new roadside penalties, a 40 per cent decline in alcohol-related deaths in the first year.\nThe ruling comes as B.C. launches its annual Christmas CounterAttack campaign, with increased roadblocks across the province to look for impaired drivers.\nB.C. reaches deal for RCMP contract\nAlberni\u2019s $7 million Fishermen\u2019s Harbour project a reality",

It's a day that people have been waiting decades for,\" Phil Robertson, Human Rights Watch deputy director for Asia, told Al Jazeera in Yangon.\nHe said that while there were no \"systematic\" voting irregularities, some voters have turned up at the polls only to find out that they are not on the list of voters.\nIn Shan and Kachin states, there were reports of the military monitoring the voting, he said.\n\"The concern is not necessarily today, but the days following this, when issues come up connected to electoral disputes, and how these are resolved,\" Robertson said.\nHe said the election commission \"may not be fully impartial\" as the chairman has already expressed support for the ruling party.\nNo incidents of violence or unrest were reported across the country.\nSuu Kyi was met by a small army of journalists, who pushed for position as she arrived to cast her vote at a polling station in the Bahan township area of Yangon.\nSuu Kyi cast her vote at a polling station in the Bahan township area of Yangon on Sunday [Ted Regencia/Al Jazeera]\nShe did not talk to reporters or make any public statements.\nMeanwhile, her supporters repeatedly shouted: \"Mother Aung San Suu Kyi\".\nEarlier, at the same polling booth, Henry Khin Maung, a shipping-boat captain, told Al Jazeera he hoped Suu Kyi would lay the foundation for Myanmar to become an economic powerhouse like Singapore or Malaysia.\nThe election \"is the beginning of a new era\", he said.\nMyanmar Votes 2015: Voices from the heartland\nAfter a two-month campaign period, which saw the stripping of the right to vote of an estimated one million Rohingya Muslims, an attack on an opposition candidate, and deadly fighting in rebel-held areas in northern border states, a 24-hour break in campaigning was observed on Saturday before the vote.\nMyanmar's Muslims face marginalisation in election\nSunday's election has been declared by the UN as a \"watershed moment\" in the country's democratic transition, even as it urged the government of President Thein Sein \"to ensure that respect for human rights is front and centre\" in the run-up to the polls.\nOn Friday night, Thein Sein delivered a televised address urging eligible citizens to vote, while pledging that \"the government and the army will respect the results\" of the election.\nThe statement followed allegations by uu Kyi, who complained of voter fraud.\nSuu Kyi's National League for Democracy (NLD) party issued a statement on Sunday, accusing the ruling party of loaning $100 to households with the promise that they do not need to pay it back if USDP wins.\nThe NLD is trying to wrest control of the lower and upper houses of parliament from the USDP.\nA decisive NLD win would give the opposition the right to pick the next president, alongside the military, which retains 25 percent of the total number of parliamentary seats.\nMyanmar's historic elections\nWhile Suu Kyi is barred by the current constitution from becoming president - her children are foreign nationals - an NLD majority would also allow her to manoeuvre politically, paving the way for constitutional amendments, and eventually an appointment to the presidency.\n\"It is not just a matter of winning the elections, but also forming the government,\" she had declared.\nSmall national parties and regional ethnic parties could drain some support from the opposition NLD [Ted Regencia/Al Jazeera]\nStill, observers say a strong victory is not assured as the USDP maintains organisational advantage, with many of its members coming from the military establishment that has ruled the country for decades.\nSmaller parties, including regional ethnic parties, could also drain support from Suu Kyi's party.\nIn 1990, the NLD also swept the parliament, but the result was annulled by the military and Suu Kyi was placed under repeated house arrest until her release in 2010.\nTaxi driver Daw Tin May Tung said she voted for the ruling party, USDP [Ted Regencia/Al Jazeera]",

        "title": "Risk in Business: Identifying the Different Types of Financial Risks",
        "raw_content": "Home > Blog > Risk in Business: Identifying the Different Types of Financial Risks\nIn business, as in life, risk is unavoidable. However, when you know the exposures your business faces and prepare for them, you've got a much better chance of survival than your competitors. Specific risks may vary from business to business, but there are some that all have in common.\nCheck out the breakdown of the most common types of business exposures you may experience.\nAll business, even web-based enterprises and services, all have physical assets. With them comes risk.\nThe best part about physical risk is that common sense goes a long way to minimizing it. Put in place good workplace security and safety measures, fit smoke alarms and test them regularly and train your staff in proper care and maintenance of buildings and property.\nYour business could face serious difficulties if the government and other regulatory bodies' requirements are not met. This is particularly the case when your product could potentially pose a risk to human health, as in the case of the foodservice industry. Non-compliance with regulations could mean tragic consequences for customers and your business. If you own a bar or restaurant, you'll likely have a ton of extra exposures due to alcohol. Compliance with financial legislation, immigration, and labor laws is vital for the continued success of your business. Creating a culture of compliance is crucial to avoid having to micromanage all processes.\nYour human resources can be both your greatest asset and liability. Some employees do not comply with company procedures. Others follow unsafe working practices, while still others may have personal problems such as substance abuse that impacts their work performance. The key to minimizing these risks is thorough background checks, rigorous interviews and probation and disciplinary procedures that are legally secure and meticulously followed. Workers compensation is often state mandated as soon as you have your first employee. With any new employee comes an array of business risks beyond physical injury. More common than not, fraud and unethical business practices will occur with overworked employees.\nOne of the most obvious, yet most deadly risks to business is the improper management of financial risk. Lack of access to credit, invoices going unpaid by customers and mounting costs of supplies can all constitute financial risks that have to be realistically managed. Depending on the business, you may also be exposed to risk from changes in government policy and external factors such as fluctuating currency exchange rates. Robust financial planning is the key to reducing your exposure to financial risk.\nSecurity Exposures\nIn a world where breaches of cybersecurity are regular fodder for news outlets, it's no wonder that even small businesses are concerned about managing their security risk. Clients are more eager than ever to understand how their data is being used and protected. Any slip-up in this area could lead to litigation and at least, the loss of your business's good name. Ensure that your systems and procedures are up to date with the latest data protection legislation and that you assure your customers that their data security is your priority.\nThe Bottom Line: Facing Risk in Business\nRisk in business may never go away, but managing it and coming out successful is part of the thrill. It is always best faced head-on, or else it can come back to bite you one day. Keep facing risk with your eyes open, put safeguards in place and you'll be able to weather whatever storms your industry faces along the way.\nClick here to request a call back from a business risk expert to help keep your business and personal finances in great shape.",

        "raw_content": "Icky Flix [DVD]\nThis is exactly the sort of thing DVDs were made for. The Residents' Icky Flix collects all of their videos, starting with 1976's \"The Third Reich and Roll\" and continuing through to \"concentrates\" of the group's CD-ROMs The Gingerbread Man and Bad Day at the Midway that were completed in 2000. Not only that, the disc adds on a brilliant, terrifying, and impossibly rare video by their Ralph Records compatriots Renaldo and the Loaf, \"Songs for Swinging Larvae,\" and a new edit of the legendary never-completed film Vileness Fats. Most impressively, the separate audio tracks for each film give the viewer the choice of hearing either the original soundtrack for each video or a newly recorded (and in most cases, radically altered) version of the music. Not only that, but the group also created four brand new videos for older pieces of music, including 1978's \"Constantinople,\" 1992's \"He Also Serves\" and \"Kick a Picnic,\" and 1999's \"Burn Baby Burn.\" The videos are exquisitely restored. \"The Third Reich and Roll\" is presented in color (previous video collections had featured a black-and-white print; ironically, everything in the entire video is either black or white) with its original end titles. The Vileness Fats footage looks worlds better than it had on 1984's haphazard Whatever Happened to Vileness Fats?, and the tighter edit makes the story simultaneously more linear and more disturbing. The digitally remastered soundtracks are similarly excellent. No Residents fan should be without this disc.\nThe Third Reich 'N' Roll\nKick a Picnic\nHe Also Serves\nThis Is a Man's Man's World\nThe Gingerbread Man (Concentrate)\nJelly Jack the Boneless Boy\nJust for You (Disfigured Night, Pt. 7)\nBad Day on the Midway (Concentrate)\nBileness Fats (Concetrate)",

        "raw_content": "Sep 2, 2014 - Jack Martone, The American Equity Underwriters, Inc.\nWe are at the third tier of the Department of Labor\u2019s three step adjudication process. The first step was informal proceedings at DOL district offices; the second step was formal hearings at the OALJ; the third step is the appeal to the Benefits Review Board (Board).\nThe Board was established by section 921 (33 U.S.C. 921) of the Act as amended in 1972 (effective date 11/26/72). Members are appointed by the Secretary of Labor and serve indeterminate terms at the Secretary\u2019s discretion. There are five permanent members, with three members constituting a quorum.\nFirst, let\u2019s understand the Board\u2019s \u201cscope of review\u201d. This defines the manner in which the Board reviews an ALJ\u2019s Order or other actions taken by the ALJ. It varies according to the nature of what is being reviewed, and it is important in determining the outcome of an appeal.\nIn the first paragraph of every Board Decision on Appeal, there is the same boilerplate language, \u201cWe must affirm the findings of fact and conclusions of law of the ALJ if they are rational, supported by substantial evidence, and in accordance with law.\u201d So, the Board reminds us that it is mindful that it is the ALJ\u2019s prerogative to assess the credibility of all witnesses and to determine the weight to be accorded to the evidence.\nNOTE: What is \u201csubstantial evidence\u201d? According to the U.S. Supreme Court, it is \u201c\u2026 more than a mere scintilla. It means such relevant evidence as a reasonable mind might accept as adequate to support a conclusion.\u201d So, the catchphrase is, more than a mere scintilla, which means evidence sufficient so that a rational conclusion may be based on it.\nThe Board repeatedly reminds us that it cannot reweigh the evidence, and that it must affirm a decision supported by substantial evidence. The ALJ conducts the hearing and observes the witnesses and is the trier of fact.\nThe legality of the ALJ\u2019s findings, whether they conform to the statute, are reviewed \u201cde novo\u201d by the Board, i.e., from the beginning. This is the same standard by which ALJ\u2019s grants of Summary Decision are reviewed. Note that under \u201cde novo\u201d review there is no presumption of correctness that attaches to the ALJ\u2019s legal conclusions. The issue is reviewed \u201canew\u201d.\nCertain other actions by the ALJ are reviewed by a different standard, i.e., \u201cabuse of discretion\u201d. For example, an ALJ\u2019s denial of a motion for reconsideration is reviewed under the abuse of discretion standard. His decision will be affirmed unless it was arbitrary or capricious.\nAs for the appeal process itself, it is orderly but time consuming.\nAny party in interest may appeal an ALJ\u2019s Compensation Order to the Benefits Review Board within 30 days of the Order\u2019s effective date by filing a Notice of Appeal with the Clerk of the Board in Washington, DC. At this point, they are the \u201cpetitioner\u201d. If the petitioner files the Notice with the DOL district director who served the ALJ\u2019s order, the district director will forward it to the Board with the filing date protected.\nWithin 30 days after receipt of the acknowledgement of the Notice of Appeal from the Clerk, the petitioner must submit a Petition for Review, listing the issues being appealed, along with a supporting brief presenting arguments on each issue appealed. He must serve this on all parties.\nWithin 30 days of receipt of a Petition for Review, each party may submit its own response brief, served on all the parties.\nAny reply briefs are due within 20 days.\nThe Board may enlarge any of these times on the appropriate and timely motion of a party.\nAny party may file a cross appeal of its own. This is done by filing a Notice of Appeal within 14 days of the date on which the first notice of appeal was filed or within the 30 day time limit for filing an appeal.\nNOTE: Electronic filing of appeals, briefs, and motions is now available through the Board\u2019s internet based Electronic File and Service Request System. An \u201ce-Filer\u201d must register as a user before using the System. Information regarding registration and a user guide is at https://dol-appeals.entellitrak.com.\nANOTHER NOTE: parties cannot submit new evidence to the Board on appeal. The Board will only consider the record established at the formal hearing by the ALJ along with the parties\u2019 briefs to the Board. Any party who believes that it has indispensable new evidence should request a modification under section 22 on the grounds of a mistake in fact or a change in circumstances. The Board will then dismiss the appeal without prejudice.\nAt this point, when all of the filings are in place, and if the Board does not take the unusual step of ordering oral argument on any issue, it proceeds to review the record established at the formal hearing within its scope of review.\nFinally, the Board will issue its written decision affirming, modifying, vacating, or reversing the ALJ\u2019s Compensation Order, or it may remand the case back to the OALJ for additional action or proceedings. The Board will usually follow the law of the federal circuit appropriate to the location of the injury, since there are conflicts among the circuits on many issues, or at least differences in analytic framework.\nNOTE: section 928(b) states that, \u201cthe deputy commissioner or Board shall set the case for informal conference \u2026.\u201d In spite of this statement, the Board has held that under section 921 it has no authority to hold informal conferences. It is restricted to appellate review.\nThe Board\u2019s decision is final in 60 days. It may be appealed within this time limit to the appropriate U.S. Court of Appeals.\nThe Courts of Appeal review decisions by the Board to determine whether it has adhered to its proper scope of review, i.e., whether the ALJ\u2019s findings of fact are supported by substantial evidence and are consistent with the law. This scope of review of Board decisions is the same as the Board\u2019s review of ALJ decisions.\nPersonal note: the scope of review can be a tricky business in the hands of the BRB. Brace yourself when the Board goes out of its way to emphasize that the ALJ is the trier of fact and it is his exclusive prerogative to evaluate the credibility of witnesses and to weigh the evidence. There have been times when the Board has misapplied the burden of production of substantial evidence (as opposed to the burden of persuasion) necessary to rebut the section 20(a) presumption, and they have been lectured on the point by the federal circuits. And there have been cases of muscle strains that resolve within a week that are turned into a running Order for temporary total disability by virtue of the \u201caggravation rule\u201d applied to a pre-existing, non work related, degenerative condition. The Board has on occasion reweighed medical evidence and even credibility determinations to turn ALJ denials into awards or serial remands.\nIt must be acknowledged that among the employer and defense community the Board has the reputation of being very liberal in favor of injured workers. The fact of the matter, however, is that the Longshore Act, as remedial legislation, is written to favor the injured worker, and the U.S. Supreme Court has instructed that it be liberally interpreted. With this as its mandate, and the statute written as it is, in spite of occasional lapses, in my humble opinion the Board generally does a very good job fulfilling its role.\nAt any rate, as I noted, the Board\u2019s decisions may be appealed to the federal circuit courts of appeal.",

Ubisoft has just announced a new educational mode called \u2018Discovery Tour\u2019, which enables users to explore ancient cities, the lives of pharaohs, reconstructions of real artifacts and ancient practices like mummification, in outstanding detail.\n\u201cWe had to work very closely with historians and Egyptian experts to help us fill in the gaps of Egyptian life not easily found in history books,\u201d writes Ubisoft in their press Q&A . \u201cFor some elements, this lack of reference also challenged us to create and illustrate parts of Ancient Egypt rather than recreate known history as we did with past games. For this, we heavily relied on the amazing work done by our Art team to really capture the look and overall feel of what Ancient Egypt would have been like at the time.\u201d\nEgypt Remembers: Ancient accounts of the Great Exodus\nThe Evidence is Cut in Stone: A Compelling Argument for Lost High Technology in Ancient Egypt\nA scene from the new Assassin\u2019s Creed, called \u2018Origins\u2019. Credit: Ubisoft\nAssassin\u2019s Creed, Where Historical Fiction Meets Historical Fact\nAssassin\u2019s Creed, the action-adventure video game series developed by Ubisoft, mixes historical fiction with real-world historical events and figures, taking players from ancient Jerusalem and Damascus, to Ottoman-held Constantinople, 15 th century Florence, Venice, and Rome, and Victorian Era London, enabling them to experience in vivid detail major historical events including the Crusades, the Seven Years\u2019 war across North America, the French Revolution, 18th century marauding pirates, and the secret life and work of the Knights Templar.\nNow in the next series, Assassin\u2019s Creed Origins, which is due to be released worldwide on October 27 for Xbox One, players will explore Ptolemaic Egypt in life-like detail.\nAssassin\u2019s Creed Origins \u2013 Ancient Egypt, 49 BC\n\u201cIn terms of the exact date, the action starts in 49 BC, at a pivotal time in Egypt\u2019s history,\u201d writes Ubisoft. \u201cAfter centuries of grandeur and accomplishments, Ancient Egypt is now at the beginning of its demise. Soon the line of Pharaohs will end, the Gods will die and the way of life will forever change. A new world order is coming. And it all starts with these bigger than life people like Cleopatra fighting to ascend her throne.\u201d\nThe new game will take players on a journey through history, triggering the fantasies and mysticism that have surrounded ancient Egypt for thousands of years - What is underneath the great Pyramids? Who are these men with animal heads? Who were the Gods and what did they do?\nSerapis: God of Fertility and the Afterlife that United Greeks and Egyptians\nProvocative Yet Sacred: The Ancient Egyptian Festival of Drunkenness\nFalse Doors: The Gateways to the Egyptian Underworld\nNever-Before-Seen Reconstruction of Ancient Egypt\nThe Ubisoft team included historians and Egyptologists who worked with graphic artists through the entire process of the game\u2019s development, enabling them to fill in the gaps of Ancient Egyptian life not easily found in history books.\n\u201cThis is the first time in Assassin\u2019s Creed that we\u2019re recreating an entire country in all its diversity,\u201d writes Ubisoft. \u201cThat means not only cities or villages, but also wilderness\u2026 The Nile Delta for instance is lush and full of birds and water animals like hippos and crocodiles, while the region of Giza is really dry, with the omnipresence of orange sand and more chances to cross the path of snakes or hyenas. It\u2019s true also for urban areas: Siwa\u2019s marketplace boasts a totally different atmosphere from the ones of Memphis or Alexandria with their tall buildings.\u201d\nAssassin\u2019s Creed Discovery Tour\nAside from the outstanding graphics that exceed the realistic and vivid people and landscapes already seen previously in the series, what really sets Assassin\u2019s Creed Origins apart from the rest is its new Discovery Tour, an educational mode which enables players to explore the gaming environment combat-free, delving into the history of ancient Egypt as they go through dozens of guided tours curated by historians and Egyptologists. The new mode \u201clets players roam the entire game world without constraints or threats, exploring a sprawling landscape that includes Memphis, Alexandria, the Sand Sea, and the Giza Plateau at their own pace,\" says Ubisoft.\nSince the educational mode will be free of all the blood, guts and murder seen in standard play, Ubisoft is hoping the Discovery Tour will be used by educational institutions as a novel and interactive medium to teach ancient history to their students, bringing the subject to life without the violence.\nTop image: A scene from the new Assassin\u2019s Creed, called \u2018Origins\u2019.

If you're in Europe and you purchased the slate directly from ASUS prior to October 29th, 2012, you can register for a \u20ac30 (or \u20a425 for UK owners) voucher that's good for use in the company's online store. The offer doesn't seem to specify which versions qualify, so it may be all of them.\nOver on Google's side of the fence, there is actually a persistent Price Protection policy that has kicked into effect on the 16GB variant of the Nexus 7. If you purchased the device within 15 days of the price drop (so, on or after October 14th), then you're eligible to receive the difference in price back (about $50).\nYou can sign up to receive the vouchers/refunds either from ASUS here, or Google here.\nSource: ASUS, Google via Droid-Life, The Verge\nAndroid 4.1 For The Motorola Razr M Rolling Out Now\n[The Android Police Podcast] Episode 35: My Desk Is A Helicopter",

His own party disintegrated into sections. A vigorous new Republican party rose. The Supreme Court in the Dred Scott decision upheld slavery.

The south encouraged filibusters who promised to annex Cuba as a slave state, and John Brown staged his raid at Harper\u2019s Ferry.\nBuchanan sought compromise but to no avail. When Republicans won a plurality in the House in 1858, every significant bill they passed fell before southern votes in the Senate or a presidential veto.

It was the signal for the secession which the south had threatened for many years.\nPresident Buchanan said southern states did not have the right to secede but also said the federal government could not legally prevent them from doing it. In the end, South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia and the rest of the states that were to make up the Confederacy voted to withdraw from the Union.\nBuchanan took no active role in politics after he left office, and he died January 1, 1868, of rheumatic gout at Wheatland near Lancaster, Pennsylvania.",

Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera reported that Pope Francis has written a letter to Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro indicating conditions aren't ripe for the Vatican to step in and help mediate in the country's political crisis. (AP Photo/Andrew Medichini)\nVATICAN CITY (AP) \u2014 Pope Francis has reportedly written to Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro indicating conditions aren\u2019t ripe for the Vatican to step in and help mediate in the country\u2019s dramatic political crisis.\nThe Corriere della Sera newspaper on Wednesday quoted from a letter it said Francis wrote to Maduro on Feb. 7, several days after the socialist leader said in an interview that he had written to Francis to ask the pontiff\u2019s help in launching talks with the opposition.\nA Vatican spokesman, Alessandro Gisotti, said the Holy See \u201cdoesn\u2019t comment on the letters of the Holy Father, which, obviously, are private in character.\u201d\nLamentably, the letter said, all intentions aimed at reconciliation begun in recent years were effectively thwarted since, despite various meetings, \u201cthere was no follow-up with concrete gestures\u201d to implement agreed-upon measures.\nDespite the diplomatic language in the letter, Francis is \u201cquite tough in saying, \u2018Yes, I can be a mediator, but at my conditions,\u2019\u201d Franco told the AP in an interview.\nIn the letter, Francis appears to acknowledge Maduro is no longer recognized as president by many countries following a heavily criticized 2018 presidential election. The salutation refers to the Venezuelan as \u201cMr. Nicolas Maduro\u201d and not as \u201cpresident.\u201d\nMaduro, paying a call on the pope at the Vatican in 2013, a few months after Francis became pontiff and shortly after the Venezuelan was elected president, received the pope\u2019s blessing.",

        "title": "Romans on the Bay of Naples - Archaeology Magazine",
        "raw_content": "Romans on the Bay of Naples\nA spectacular villa under Positano sees the light\nOnce we reach the spot, you won\u2019t believe your eyes,\u201d says archaeologist Luciana Jacobelli of the University of Molise as she opens a small door to the crypt of the church of Santa Maria Assunta in the center of town. It\u2019s very dim inside, and she has to use a flashlight as we make our way. We slowly climb down a series of ladders through a forest of iron scaffolding toward what seems to be the only well-lit area, nearly 30 feet under the church. Jacobelli then leads me into a room and, as promised, frescoes in dazzling green, yellow, red, and blue seem to illuminate the space on their own. We have arrived at the extraordinarily well-preserved remains of a lavish villa marittima, or seaside villa, once a luxurious retreat for the rich of ancient Rome to escape the summer heat and the hustle and bustle of city life in the first centuries B.C. and A.D.\nSwiss architect and engineer Karl Weber, the first scholar to supervise excavations of the areas destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in A.D. 79, appears to have seen the villa on April 16, 1758, during his explorations. In his field report he writes that he had begun to dig near the \u201cchurch with bell tower, not far from the beach that is at the base of Mount Santa Maria a Castelli and Mount Sant\u2019Angelo; at a depth of 30 spans we found a famous ancient building whose first mosaic is made of white and fine marble.\u201d\nIt was only during restoration work on the crypt in 2003 that archaeologists had a chance to enter the villa\u2019s stunning triclinium, or dining room, for the first time. But after only three years of digging, they were forced to stop when funding ran out, and it wasn\u2019t until the summer of 2015 that excavations resumed. For the rest of the year, before funding for the project ran out again, Jacobelli led a rescue excavation under the supervision of the local archaeological superintendent, Adele Campanelli, and archaeological supervisor Maria Antonietta Iannelli. A team of archaeologists and conservators worked to remove mud and lapilli (small stones ejected by a volcanic eruption) and to expose and clean the stunning wall paintings emerging from the debris.\nThanks to an ancient system of artificial terraces cut into the hillside on which Positano sits, the villa may have sprawled across more than 2.25 acres. Some scholars think that it might even have been as large as the town of Positano. Mantha Zarmakoupi of the University of Birmingham, an expert on the ancient Roman luxury villas of the Bay of Naples, disagrees. \u201cI can imagine that the villa was perched on a terraced platform with ramps leading to other terraces below, and may have stretched over two or more levels in the hillside, as houses do today, but I don\u2019t think that it would have occupied the entire village,\u201d she says.What isn\u2019t in doubt, however, is the excellence of the frescoes covering the villa\u2019s walls. \u201cThe quality of the wall paintings is very high, and the triclinium\u2019s decorative program seems unique,\u201d says Zarmakoupi. \u201cThe combination of frescoes with stucco is rare and remarkable. The rendering of details in stucco, for example in the figures both holding and decorating the drapery, accentuates the feeling that the cloth is actually pliable.\u201d\nIn addition to the magnificent paintings, in a hole opened in the layer of volcanic debris under the triclinium\u2019s northern wall, archaeologists unearthed a pile of oxidized jars, cups, and dishes that formed a set of silver intended for a symposium\u2014just the type of conversational gathering that would have taken place between the villa\u2019s owner and his important guests.\nLocal administrators hope to open the property to the public and are planning a transparent footbridge over the site. This will allow visitors to get a small taste of the luxe life as it was almost 2,000 years ago.\nMarco Merola is ARCHAEOLOGY\u2019s Naples correspondent.",

        "raw_content": "2 / 2015 - nieto sobejano, talk about criticism\nFuensanta Nieto and Enrique Sobejano, a Madrid-based architect couple, are known for their exquisite museum designs. The Arvo P\u00e4rt Centre in Estonia is one of the designs currently at the planning stage. This year Nieto and Sobejano were awarded the Alvar Aalto Medal as an acknowledgement of significant architectural work. Important themes in the couple\u2019s work are landscape, geometry, roofscape and light. In this issue of Arkkitehti the medallists write about the fundamentals of their architecture. They also share some memories of their architectural journeys in Finland. The poetics of space in Alvar Aalto\u2019s buildings has made a strong impression on them. In his article, the Finnish architect Juha Ilonen describes Nieto and Sobejano as archaeologists of architecture.\nThis spring\u2019s exhibition at the Helsinki Design Museum brought into light the 1980s which was the decade of postmodernism in Finnish art, design and architecture. Anni Vartola, Olli-Paavo Koponen and Kaisa Broner-Bauer, specialists of postmodernism, discuss the era\u2019s architecture that is already at the stage of needing renovation.\nThe issue also discusses criticism. Lately the stage of architecture criticism in Finland and in this journal has attracted media attention even in national newspapers. The starting point to the attention was Julius J\u00e4\u00e4skel\u00e4inen\u2019s tweet on a building review he wrote for Arkkitehti. The review is published in this issue, as well as the presentation of Vantaan Merkki apartment building, the subject of the critique, accompanied by a commentary of the designer, architect Tuomas Toivonen. In addition, editor-in-chief Jorma Mukala ponders on the role and meaning of criticism in Arkkitehti.\nIn the last five years new players have made it to the \u201cfirst line\u201d of Finnish architecture, who have brought a new kind of visionary approach into designing: ALA, Anttinen Oiva, Avanto, AFKS, K2S, OOPEAA, Playa and Verstas Architects among others. The buildings presented in this issue are some of the latest realisations by these visionaries.\neditorial | Circulating influences\nThe Alvar Aalto Medal has been awarded since 1967 to an architect whose work is regarded as being of international significance. This year the medal was awarded to the Spanish architects Fuensanta Nieto and Enrique Sobejano. In the opening article in this issue they characterise their design work and provide an insight into their architecture. What also transpires is the spatial poetry of Aalto\u2019s architecture, which the laureates feel close to, even though Aalto\u2019s architecture is already historically distant. Thus what emerges is the self-evident universality of good architecture; art transcends borders and unites people. Nieto and Sobejano have designed several buildings not just in Spain but also elsewhere in Europe, the nearest to Finland being the Arvo P\u00e4rt Center in Estonia, which is currently at the planning stage. Through their works, Nieto and Sobejano convey a message of the strength of Spanish contemporary architecture, which has been a phenomenon worthy of admiration already for some time. On the other hand, their work is evidence of the \u201cEuropeanisation\u201d of design work, behind which can be seen a more universal trend, the globalisation of architectural design. In the Nordic countries, the internationalisation of the work of the architect has been most evident in Denmark.\nIn the work of Finnish architects, the internationalisation of design has been evident in individual projects, such as the Kilden Performing Arts Centre in Kristiansand, Norway (ALA Architects, 2011) and the Polin Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw, Poland (Lahdelma & Mahlam\u00e4ki, 2013). In the future, the number of international projects will increase and their influences will certainly be multifarious. During the last five years, our architecture\u2019s vanguard has included new players for whom the global world is a self-evident reality. Among these reformers of Finnish architecture are ALA, AOA, Avanto, AFKS, K2S, OOPEAA, Playa, Verstas and the multidisciplinary operator Tuomas Toivonen. Presented in the building review section of this issue are some of their most recently completed works in Finland.\nAs we were working on this issue of Arkkitehti, the role and task of architectural criticism suddenly became a topic of public debate, and the following pages contain the editor-in-chief\u2019s policies on this important topic. ark\nDeliberations about criticism\nArchitectural criticism recently received a great deal of attention when Helsingin Sanomat (31.3.2015) picked up on a tweet from Julius J\u00e4\u00e4skel\u00e4inen, according to which an architect didn\u2019t want his building to be critiqued. The basis for the comment was an apartment block in Vantaa that was to be featured in Arkkitehti 2/2015 and the editor-in-chief had asked J\u00e4\u00e4skel\u00e4inen to write a review of it. In order to get the facts right, the text was passed on to the architect of the building, Tuomas Toivonen. The architect was of the opinion that the review had created a negative asymmetrical situation, and hence it was an unsuccessful critique. Consequently, he requested that the editor return the presentation material that he had already provided for use \u2013 a unique case during my tenure as editor-in-chief. It sparked a commotion. The critic tweeted. I, as editor-in-chief, started to plan how to proceed. The review, which I considered knowledgeable and interesting in its viewpoint, would without any accompanying picture material be pointless. I thus decided to commission a photographer to take new pictures. This was unprecedented because the journal has traditionally acquired such material from the architect, on the basis of which the presentation of the building is edited to fit the journal\u2019s overall editorial policy. After discussions, we also received permission from the architect to use the office\u2019s presentation material. The presentation and critique of the building are published on pages 54\u201359.\nThe journal\u2019s policy\nThe course of events raised the question of the role of critique in Arkkitehti and how to prevent a similar commotion in the future. These issues are important. I will respond to them here by discussing critique on a general level and by shedding light on the journal\u2019s history and its traditions.\nIn my opinion, critique is necessary for the evolvement of architecture. In the journal, comment is free. Expertise, diversity of opinion and criticality are all integral to the journal\u2019s publishing policy. The journal wants to promote an understanding of architecture. The credibility of Arkkitehti relies on expertise and independence. The publisher, the Finnish Association of Architects, has over the decades understood the journal\u2019s independence such that it does not get involved in the contents, leaving the task of defining its policy to the editor-in-chief.\nThe presentation of contemporary architecture\nSince its inception in 1903, the journal Arkkitehti has presented new architecture, and with a focus on Finnish architecture. The photographs and drawings, which form the basis of the presentations, are provided by the architects themselves \u2013 and this is still the case today.\nWhat buildings, then, has the journal promoted? The buildings featured in the journal show what kind of architecture has been appreciated at different times. Each period has its own trends \u2013 preferences and limitations, aesthetics and ideologies \u2013 which is clearly evident when one makes a historical-critical examination of the back issues of the journal. Regardless of the editor-in-chief\u2019s vision, there will always be blind spots, where the architecture remains undiscovered. My belief is that conscious tolerance reduces these blind spots.\nThe contemporary architecture presented in Arkkitehti has thus never been an egalitarian cross-section through our built environment. When a new building is featured in the journal, it comes with a subliminal message: this is good architecture. Depending on the context, the term \u201cgood\u201d can signify many different characteristics; for example, high-quality design, vision, freshness of expression, innovativeness and application of new concepts or the fact that it is considered important because it is based on a competition-winning entry \u2013 characteristics of an architecture deserving positive publicity. What, then, is the purpose of critique? Praise?\nThe role of critique\nThe articles in the journal have always dealt with prevailing trends and complexities, and biases have been criticised. Building critiques remained, however, rare exceptions until the 1990s. Throughout the decades, texts written by the architects of the buildings, in which they described the design\u2019s principles, objectives and solutions, were published as part of the presentation. It was during the editorship of Harri Hautaj\u00e4rvi in the 2000s that the role of the commentary by an outside critic became established. I have continued this policy, which is also the custom of many distinguished international publications, such as the British journal The Architectural Review.\nThe critic analyses the building\u2019s principles, ideas, implementation, functionality, integration into its setting and other different sub-factors depending on the context of the site. What is essential is to place the building in wider contexts. Contextualisation can take many forms and it will depend, of course, on the critic\u2019s viewpoint which angles are emphasised. The critic\u2019s interpretation always includes to some extent an evaluation. A critic provides the reader with some means to understand the architecture of the building. On the other hand, the critic\u2019s interpretation and observations contribute to a dialogue with the reader, because the latter is always able to form his or her own understanding of the architecture of the building based on illustration and photos alone. Critique is thus a discourse about contemporary architecture.\nBut how to prevent a similar commotion in the future? The question has been posed of whether the journal can be truly independent unless it photographs and prepares the presentation material itself. In my opinion, the acquisition of the presentation material from the architect is not a problem. The method has worked well previously and the architects, after all, are in possession of the best information and material regarding their projects. The solution to the problem is to understand the significance of critique and to accept its existence. Critique is part of a valuable discussion about the trends, values and quality of contemporary architecture. Critique gives a healthy stir to the intellectual superstructure of architecture. Of course, the interpretation presented by the critic can seem eccentric and the interpretation can also be futile or meaningless. Both the authors and architects should trust the competence and desire of the editorial staff to promote good architecture. Without architecture there is no architectural critique. It starts with an interest in and a love for architecture. ark\nJorma Mukala is the editor-in-chief of Finnish Architectural Review.\nFour themes: Landscape, Geometry, Roofscape, Light\nEnrique Sobejano, Fuensanta Nieto\nNieto & Sobejano, archaeologist of architecture\nNieto and Sobejano's relationship with the landscape is humble while creating a new kind of surprising monumentalism. Architect Juha Ilonen reviews the works of the Alvar Aalto medalists.\nIn the pine woodlands of Estonia\u2019s Laulasmaa, a new building for the Arvo P\u00e4rt Centre will see its completion in 2018. The architecture is emblematically Northern: the building surrenders to its environment and thrives in it. The glazed shell of the undulating mass, yielding to the trees and leaving them undisturbed, soaks up and filters daylight, which in the winter is at a premium, into the interior spaces through its elevations and courtyards. The building is not something we have become accustomed to expect from Mediterranean architects. However, it does reveal the essence of its architects: architecture is not about massaging the egos of the designers, or about reiterating a signature form, like a trademark, regardless of the use or location of the building.\nThe Arvo P\u00e4rt Centre is yet another realisation of Fuensanta Nieto and Enqirue Sobejano\u2019s analytical and dynamic relationship to the site, its topography, culture and history. Many of their designs are submissive anti-buildings, revealing only glimpses of their vast volume to the outside. For example, the extension of Joanneumsviertel in Graz, Austria (2013), combines old cultural buildings with a subterranean space in the courtyard in between them. The underground spaces are linked by impressive conical glazed patios, directing daylight and lending unique character to the underground spaces. Another subterranean design by the architects is the History Museum in Spain\u2019s north-western city of Lugo (2011). The roof of the museum doubles as a new park, while the interior spaces of the museum are housed in cylindrical silo-like masses that open onto rotund courtyards below ground level.\nNieto and Sobejano\u2019s unobtrusive relationship with the landscape avoids monumentalism in the traditional sense, while creating a new way of sensing monumentalism, which is intimate, gradually revealed and surprising. These organic qualities are also part of their design methodology, both on a conscious and subconscious level. The most monumental of the team\u2019s anti-buildings is the visitor centre and archaeological museum of the ruined city of Madinat-al-Zahra in Andalucia (2009), the design method of which served as a metaphor of the slow-paced, painstaking work of an archaeologist: it took ten years from design to completion. Conforming to the archaeological fragments, the new building was \u201cunearthed\u201d from under the layers of terrain, taking the form of a an orthogonal, systematic rectangle. It is reminiscent of the majestic farms of the surrounding Andalucian landscape, those low white-walled islets and, more distantly, Louis Kahn\u2019s Kimbell Art Museum (1972). Nieto and Sobejano\u2019s archaeology analogy would lend itself to architectural design in general. According to the Academy Research Fellow Tuija Rankama, the main purpose of archaeological excavations is not to collect objects for exhibition, but to establish the context, use and meaning of the finds.1\nMadinat-al-Zahra Museum is visible looking down from the city ruins, from where it appears as a delimited, low mass embedded in the colours of the surrounding farmland. In Nieto and Sobejano\u2019s designs the roof surface and shape often hold a central role. The roof is either an integral part of the surrounding landscape or a piece of artificial landscaping that adds to the texture of the environment, with a form that allows daylight to filter through into the interiors. The latter objective was well served in the extension of the Moritzburg Museum, a 15th century castle, in Germany (2008) and the Arag\u00f3n Convention Centre in Zaragoza, Spain (2008).\nThe Madinat-al-Zahra project presented Nieto and Sobejano with an opportunity to delve deep into the rich Islamic architectural legacy of Spain. In 2010, it was awarded the Aga Khan Award for Architecture, which is given exclusively to work within the Islamic sphere of culture. Madinat-al-Zahra, \u201cthe City of the Flower\u201d, was part of C\u00f3rdoba, the capital of the Iberian Moors, and the combination of systematics and layeredness of its mosque has always fascinated architects regardless of the era or cultural background. The atrium-patios at Madinat-al-Zahra, Laulasmaa, Graz, Lugo and many other of Nieto and Sobejano\u2019s designs are architectural themes that have already long ago become universal. They unquestionably arise from the architects\u2019 own cultural sphere, the Roman and Muslim strata of Spanish architecture \u2013 and when exported to new locations, they acquire new, localised applications.\nIslamic ornaments have been freely interpreted as geometric elements in many of Nieto and Sobejano\u2019s works. The grouping of the sequence of central spaces in the Contemporary Art Centre in C\u00f3rdoba (2015) and the perforation in the building envelope is based on a system of irregular hexagons. The hexagonal openings of the roof surface taper downwards into dramatic concrete lightwells. The design has echoes of the chapel of Riola Church by Alvar Aalto. The shape of the main spaces of the building, in turn, has points of reference to Aalto\u2019s Wolfsburg Cultural Centre and perhaps even the Finlandia Hall in Helsinki. The monolithic character of the white fibre-reinforced concrete element cladding transforms into something quite ethereal in the dark, as the openings let the changing light installations shine through. A similar optical illusion happens with San Sebastian\u2019s San Telmo Museum (2011), where the perforation of the aluminium panels makes them look like massive, porous blocks of stone. The perforation of the panels and the accompanying lighting and plantation design were created in collaboration with artists Leopoldo Ferr\u00e1n and Agustina Otero.\nNieto and Sobejano\u2019s works reflect and steer the architecture of their time, while positioning themselves as part of the organic continuum of their historical surroundings. The signature precision of the finish and uncompromised quality in the execution give the works an air that defies time, commands respect and prophesies longevity. In the interior spaces, this is emphatically manifest in the ceilings, which have not been sacrificed as the utilitarian playground of building technology, but are clean, pure architectural surfaces. Finnish architecture has achieved these qualities in the past decades only in few exceptions, such as the JKMM Architects\u2019 libraries in Turku and Sein\u00e4joki.\nFuensanta Nieto and Enrique Sobenajo\u2019s formidable body of work has often reaped success in competitions. The most recent open competition win is the Arvo P\u00e4rt Centre in Estonia. They have designed over a dozen museum buildings as well as renovations and extensions to several historical palaces and castles. Even a fraction of their entire oeuvre, both in terms of quality and quantity, would be more than enough to cement a single architect\u2019s career for life. ark\n1 Rankama, Tuija: \u201dArkeologinen kaivaus\u201d [Archaeological Excavation], in Petri Halinen, Visa Immonen, Terhi Mikkola, Pirjo Uino (ed.): Johdatus arkeologiaan.

Also, the first research has been carried out on the architecture of the period. Dr. Anni Vartola, who wrote her doctoral thesis on the subject, Professor Olli-Paavo Koponen and Professor Emerita Kaisa Broner-Bauer explore the period that has been somewhat neglected in the recent history of architecture. The buildings of the period, moreover, are beginning to require renovation.\nhistory | The trail of ashes of Modernism\nhistory | Postmodernism in the Finnish architectural heritage\nhistory | Postmodernism \u2013 and then?\nHelsinki-based freelance art critic answers the question: what is good criticism?\nThe disappointment among artists is directed at the criticism that does not exist: \u201cI worked hard and my work was not written about by anyone [occasionally solely meaning Helsingin Sanomat].\u201d Criticism is part of an attention economy. For an artist the value of criticism seems to be the acknowledgment of the artist\u2019s existence.\nWithin the dying community of critics disappointment is also directed at the criticism that does not exist. Most of my colleagues are underemployed as publishing channels have largely withered away. I am hard-working and probably could be seen as successful, but I do not live off criticism. Over the past year I have had 27 articles published through different media, of which ten I consider to be critiques. I see myself as a professional critic, but no more than one third of the articles I get published during a year are critiques. The other texts pay more.\nGood criticism should be both professional and in compliance with journalistic ethics. Journalists are, above all, accountable to their readers. All decisions regarding the content of a text should be made on journalistic grounds and journalists have the right and obligation to fight any pressure or persuasion that attempts to control, prevent or limit a text. There may, however, be various aims and the genre of a text can also be stretched quite far, for example from impressions all the way to a moral \u2013 as long as the criticism is contextualising in a meaningful manner. At its best, criticism is able to link the subject to different discussions and sometimes even to heuristically surprising contexts.\nEven though the informative dimension of criticism is important, criticism should not be a pure product description or a piece of news. Criticism is not criticism if it does not contain an evaluation.\nA professional critic will inevitably face a loss of enthusiasm at some point, sometimes even cynicism. It happens to me too. At that point I try to remember that even if only one third of my texts are critiques, I can still be a 100 % critic in terms of my attitude and identity. I also try to remember that when I am primarily accountable to my readers as a journalist, I do my best when accompanied by passion and moral fearlessness. Then the reader can also be involved, either through identifying with the topic or disagreeing with it. Then criticism has meaning. ark\nillustration Tuuli H\u00e4ggman\ntopical | Has wow now been buried?\nLauri J\u00e4\u00e4skel\u00e4inen\nchuches | Materiality and the magic of light\nWolfgang Jean Stock\nspeaker's corner | Finding relevance\nAnu Puustinen\nbooks | History of tourism and architecture\nd\u00e9j\u00e0-vu | Timo Suomalainen, Tuomo Suomalainen \u2013 Ristiniemi Chapel, Hamina 1965",

So it is in the pipeline,\" he said.\nAccording to Barberis, Zalora's huge existing customer base - which covers Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam, Australia and New Zealand - guarantees strong business for Bruneian fashion designers and entrepreneurs.\nOn its website, Zalora maintains a combined 15 million visits per month to its sites across the region.\n\"(Therefore) market is not the challenge,\" said Barberis.\nHowever, he noted that the main challenge which may be faced by Bruneian companies is delivery.\n\"Due to lack of manpower and minimal production, this can be a challenge. If they can deliver their products across the Southeast Asian destinations, then I think there is an immediate opportunity there.\"\nHe also dispelled notions that Zalora will be opening an offline store in Brunei.\n\"Zalora's main focus has always been online; we believe there are more and bigger opportunities online. We have made big investments in our online operations,\" said Barberis.\nThe high cost of opening up and operating an offline store in a foreign country is not in line with the company's business strategies, he said.\nBarberis said Zalora offers free delivery to Brunei for purchases above RM150 (S$56).\nThe online retailer offers an extensive collection of over 500 top international and local brands and designers including men's and women's fashion apparel, shoes, accessories, and beauty categories online.",

        "raw_content": "Personal Injury Case Law CALDER v. JONES \u2013 Supreme Court of United States\nCALDER ET AL.\nAPPEAL FROM THE COURT OF APPEAL OF CALIFORNIA, SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT\nJohn G. Kester argued the cause for petitioners. With him on the briefs was Aubrey M. Daniel III.\nPaul S. Ablon argued the cause for respondent. With him on the brief were Stephen S. Monroe and Richard P. Towne.[*]\nRespondent Shirley Jones brought suit in California Superior Court claiming that she had been libeled in an article written and edited by petitioners in Florida. The article was published in a national magazine with a large circulation in California. Petitioners were served with process by mail in Florida and caused special appearances to be entered on their behalf, moving to quash the service of process for lack of personal jurisdiction. The Superior Court granted the motion on the ground that First Amendment concerns weighed against an assertion of jurisdiction otherwise proper under the Due Process Clause. The California Court of Appeal reversed, rejecting the suggestion that First Amendment considerations enter into the jurisdictional analysis. We now affirm.\nRespondent lives and works in California. She and her husband brought this suit against the National Enquirer, Inc., its local distributing company, and petitioners for libel, invasion of privacy, and intentional infliction of emotional harm.[1] The Enquirer is a Florida corporation with its principal place of business in Florida. It publishes a national weekly newspaper with a total circulation of over 5 million. About 600,000 of those copies, almost twice the level of the next highest State, are sold in California.[2] Respondent\u2019s and her husband\u2019s claims were based on an article that appeared in the Enquirer\u2019s October 9, 1979, issue. Both the Enquirer and the distributing company answered the complaint and made no objection to the jurisdiction of the California court.\nPetitioner South is a reporter employed by the Enquirer. He is a resident of Florida, though he frequently travels to California on business.[3] South wrote the first draft of the challenged article, and his byline appeared on it. He did most of his research in Florida, relying on phone calls to sources in California for the information contained in the article.[4] Shortly before publication, South called respondent\u2019s home and read to her husband a draft of the article so as to elicit his comments upon it. Aside from his frequent trips and phone calls, South has no other relevant contacts with California.\nPetitioner Calder is also a Florida resident. He has been to California only twice \u00f3 once, on a pleasure trip, prior to the publication of the article and once after to testify in an unrelated trial. Calder is president and editor of the Enquirer. He \u201coversee[s] just about every function of the Enquirer.\u201d App. 24. He reviewed and approved the initial evaluation of the subject of the article and edited it in its final form. He also declined to print a retraction requested by respondent. Calder has no other relevant contacts with California.\nIn considering petitioners\u2019 motion to quash service of process, the Superior Court surmised that the actions of petitioners in Florida, causing injury to respondent in California, would ordinarily be sufficient to support an assertion of jurisdiction over them in California.[5] But the court felt that special solicitude was necessary because of the potential \u201cchilling effect\u201d on reporters and editors which would result from requiring them to appear in remote jurisdictions to answer for the content of articles upon which they worked. The court also noted that respondent\u2019s rights could be \u201cfully satisfied\u201d in her suit against the publisher without requiring petitioners to appear as parties. The Superior Court, therefore, granted the motion.\nThe California Court of Appeal reversed. 138 Cal. App. 3d 128, 187 Cal. Rptr. 825 (1982). The court agreed that neither petitioner\u2019s contacts with California would be sufficient for an assertion of jurisdiction on a cause of action unrelated to those contacts. See Perkins v. Benguet Mining Co., 342 U. S. 437 (1952) (permitting general jurisdiction where defendant\u2019s contacts with the forum were \u201ccontinuous and systematic\u201d). But the court concluded that a valid basis for jurisdiction existed on the theory that petitioners intended to, and did, cause tortious injury to respondent in California. The fact that the actions causing the effects in California were performed outside the State did not prevent the State from asserting jurisdiction over a cause of action arising out of those effects.[6] The court rejected the Superior Court\u2019s conclusion that First Amendment considerations must be weighed in the scale against jurisdiction.\nA timely petition for hearing was denied by the Supreme Court of California. App. 122. On petitioners\u2019 appeal to this Court, probable jurisdiction was postponed. 460 U. S. 1080 (1983). We conclude that jurisdiction by appeal does not lie. Kulko v. California Superior Court, 436 U. S. 84, 90, and n. 4 (1978).[7] Treating the jurisdictional statement as a petition for writ of certiorari, as we are authorized to do, 28 U. S. C. \u00df 2103, we hereby grant the petition.[8]\nThe Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution permits personal jurisdiction over a defendant in any State with which the defendant has \u201ccertain minimum contacts . . . such that the maintenance of the suit does not offend `traditional notions of fair play and substantial justice.\u2019 Milliken v. Meyer, 311 U. S. 457, 463.\u201d International Shoe Co. v. Washington, 326 U. S. 310, 316 (1945). In judging minimum contacts, a court properly focuses on \u201cthe relationship among the defendant, the forum, and the litigation.\u201d Shaffer v. Heitner, 433 U. S. 186, 204 (1977). See also Rush v. Savchuk, 444 U. S. 320, 332 (1980). The plaintiff\u2019s lack of \u201ccontacts\u201d will not defeat otherwise proper jurisdiction, see Keeton v. Hustler Magazine, Inc., ante, at 779-781, but they may be so manifold as to permit jurisdiction when it would not exist in their absence. Here, the plaintiff is the focus of the activities of the defendants out of which the suit arises. See McGee v. International Life Ins. Co., 355 U. S. 220 (1957).\nThe allegedly libelous story concerned the California activities of a California resident. It impugned the professionalism of an entertainer whose television career was centered in California.[9] The article was drawn from California sources, and the brunt of the harm, in terms both of respondent\u2019s emotional distress and the injury to her professional reputation, was suffered in California. In sum, California is the focal point both of the story and of the harm suffered. Jurisdiction over petitioners is therefore proper in California based on the \u201ceffects\u201d of their Florida conduct in California. World-Wide Volkswagen Corp. v. Woodson, 444 U. S. 286, 297-298 (1980); Restatement (Second) of Conflict of Laws \u00df 37 (1971).\nPetitioners argue that they are not responsible for the circulation of the article in California. A reporter and an editor, they claim, have no direct economic stake in their employer\u2019s sales in a distant State. Nor are ordinary employees able to control their employer\u2019s marketing activity. The mere fact that they can \u201cforesee\u201d that the article will be circulated and have an effect in California is not sufficient for an assertion of jurisdiction. World-Wide Volkswagen Corp. v. Woodson, supra, at 295; Rush v. Savchuk, supra, at 328-329. They do not \u201cin effect appoint the [article their] agent for service of process.\u201d World-Wide Volkswagen Corp. v. Woodson, supra, at 296. Petitioners liken themselves to a welder employed in Florida who works on a boiler which subsequently explodes in California. Cases which hold that jurisdiction will be proper over the manufacturer, Buckeye Boiler Co. v. Superior Court, 71 Cal. 2d 893, 458 P. 2d 57 (1969); Gray v. American Radiator & Standard Sanitary Corp., 22 Ill. 2d 432, 176 N. E. 2d 761 (1961), should not be applied to the welder who has no control over and derives no direct benefit from his employer\u2019s sales in that distant State.\nPetitioners\u2019 analogy does not wash. Whatever the status of their hypothetical welder, petitioners are not charged with mere untargeted negligence. Rather, their intentional, and allegedly tortious, actions were expressly aimed at California. Petitioner South wrote and petitioner Calder edited an article that they knew would have a potentially devastating impact upon respondent. And they knew that the brunt of that injury would be felt by respondent in the State in which she lives and works and in which the National Enquirer has its largest circulation. Under the circumstances, petitioners must \u201creasonably anticipate being haled into court there\u201d to answer for the truth of the statements made in their article. World-Wide Volkswagen Corp. v. Woodson, supra, at 297; Kulko v. California Superior Court, supra, at 97-98; Shaffer v. Heitner, supra, at 216. An individual injured in California need not go to Florida to seek redress from persons who, though remaining in Florida, knowingly cause the injury in California.\nPetitioners are correct that their contacts with California are not to be judged according to their employer\u2019s activities there. On the other hand, their status as employees does not somehow insulate them from jurisdiction. Each defendant\u2019s contacts with the forum State must be assessed individually. See Rush v. Savchuk, supra, at 332 (\u201cThe requirements of International Shoe . . . must be met as to each defendant over whom a state court exercises jurisdiction\u201d). In this case, petitioners are primary participants in an alleged wrongdoing intentionally directed at a California resident, and jurisdiction over them is proper on that basis.\nWe also reject the suggestion that First Amendment concerns enter into the jurisdictional analysis. The infusion of such considerations would needlessly complicate an already imprecise inquiry. Estin v. Estin, 334 U. S. 541, 545 (1948). Morever, the potential chill on protected First Amendment activity stemming from libel and defamation actions is already taken into account in the constitutional limitations on the substantive law governing such suits. See New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, 376 U. S. 254 (1964); Gertz v. Robert Welch, Inc., 418 U. S. 323 (1974). To reintroduce those concerns at the jurisdictional stage would be a form of double counting. We have already declined in other contexts to grant special procedural protections to defendants in libel and defamation actions in addition to the constitutional protections embodied in the substantive laws. See, e. g., Herbert v. Lando, 441 U. S. 153 (1979) (no First Amendment privilege bars inquiry into editorial process). See also Hutchinson v. Proxmire, 443 U. S. 111, 120, n. 9 (1979) (implying that no special rules apply for summary judgment).\nWe hold that jurisdiction over petitioners in California is proper because of their intentional conduct in Florida calculated to cause injury to respondent in California. The judgment of the California Court of Appeal is\n[*] Briefs of amici curiae urging reversal were filed for the Association of American Publishers, Inc., by R. Bruce Rich; for the Authors League of America, Inc., by Irwin Karp; and for the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press et al. by George R. Clark, Peter C. Gould, Barry D. Umansky, Harvey Lipton, Robert C. Lobdell, W. Terry Maguire, Robert D. Sack, Bruce W. Sanford, J. Laurent Scharff, and Richard M. Schmidt, Jr.\n[1] Respondent\u2019s husband subsequently filed a voluntary dismissal of his complaint.\n[2] A geographic analysis of the total paid circulation for the September 18, 1979, issue of the Enquirer showed total sales, national and international, of 5,292,200. Sales in California were 604,431. The State with the next highest total was New York, with 316,911. App. 39-41.\n[3] South stated that during a 4-year period he visited California more than 20 times. Id., at 32. A friend estimated that he came to California from 6 to 12 times each year. Id., at 66.\n[4] The Superior Court found that South made at least one trip to California in connection with the article. South hotly disputes this finding, claiming that an uncontroverted affidavit shows that he never visited California to research the article. Since we do not rely for our holding on the alleged visit, see n. 6, infra, we find it unnecessary to consider the contention.\n[5] California\u2019s \u201clong-arm\u201d statute permits an assertion of jurisdiction over a nonresident defendant whenever permitted by the State and Federal Constitutions. California Civ. Proc. Code Ann. \u00df 410.10 (West 1973) provides: \u201cA court of this state may exercise jurisdiction on any basis not inconsistent with the Constitution of this state or of the United States.\u201d\n[6] The Court of Appeal further suggested that petitioner South\u2019s investigative activities, including one visit and numerous phone calls to California, formed an independent basis for an assertion of jurisdiction over him in this action. In light of our approval of the \u201ceffects\u201d test employed by the California court, we find it unnecessary to reach this alternative ground.\n[7] Kulko involved an assertion of jurisdiction under the same California statute at issue here. The Court held that the case was improperly brought to the Court as an appeal, since no state statute was \u201cdrawn in question . . . on the ground of its being repugnant to the Constitution, treaties or laws of the United States,\u201d 28 U. S. C. \u00df 1257(2). Petitioners attempt to distinguish Kulko on the ground that the defendant in that case argued only that the Due Process Clause precluded the exercise of in personam jurisdiction over him, whereas petitioners argued below that the California statute as applied to them would be unconstitutional. We are unpersuaded by this shift in emphasis. The jurisdictional statute construed by the California Court of Appeal provides that the State\u2019s jurisdiction is as broad as the Constitution permits. See n. 5, supra. As in Kulko, the opinion below does not purport to determine the constitutionality of the California jurisdictional statute. Rather, the question decided was whether the Constitution itself would permit the assertion of jurisdiction. Under the circumstances, we find an appeal improper regardless of the terminology in which the petitioners couch their jurisdictional defense.\n[8] Although there has not yet been a trial on the merits in this case, the judgment of the California appellate court \u201cis plainly final on the federal issue and is not subject to further review in the state courts.\u201d Cox Broadcasting Corp. v. Cohn, 420 U. S. 469, 485 (1975). Accordingly, as in several past cases presenting jurisdictional issues in this posture, \u201cwe conclude that the judgment below is final within the meaning of [28 U. S. C.] \u00df 1257.\u201d Shaffer v. Heitner, 433 U. S. 186, 195-196, n. 12 (1977). See also Rush v. Savchuk, 444 U. S. 320 (1980); World-Wide Volkswagen Corp. v. Woodson, 444 U. S. 286 (1980); Kulko v. California Superior Court, 436 U. S. 84 (1978).\n[9] The article alleged that respondent drank so heavily as to prevent her from fulfilling her professional obligations.",

        "raw_content": "Matt Harvey Interview\n\u00a9 Courtesy of Delta\nMatt Harvey And The Power of Now\nIt takes just one look at Matt Harvey to see the interesting dichotomy. The New York Mets All-Star pitcher, by many accounts, is the biggest sports star in Big Apple. But he can just as easily be passed in the street, (as evidenced by this old skit on Jimmy Kimmel) mistaken for any suburbanite in a t-shirt and jeans.\nIt\u2019s the same on this day, as Harvey poses for pictures in a plain gray tee, a dark pair of jeans hanging over tightly-pulled Converse while holding court for reporters in New York City\u2019s Flatriron Plaza, where he promoted the Delta Dugout, an initiative that awards fans unique game experiences. A trained eye would only notice his Breitling watch. Harvey grew up in Connecticut, just over an hour from the city. But he\u2019s a New York City guy equipped with the ego, unafraid of the spotlight \u2013 a guy that leans into the pressure.\nThe first few questions he gets are always about his health these days. He missed all of last year recovering from Tommy John surgery.\n\u201cPretty good considering, I missed a whole year,\u201d he told a local reporter after asking about his elbow and how he feels this season. \u201cEverything feels great. Body feels great. Obviously, there are a couple games in there that are going to happen in a Major League season, but there\u2019s still a long way to go.\u201d\nIt\u2019s a patient attitude, something that Harvey certainly learned while he sat out last year, rehabbing his throwing arm after a rookie season where he took the Major League by the horns and started his first All-Star Game at home. Now Harvey is leading a stacked stable of powerhouse pitchers, including last year\u2019s National League Rookie of the Year Jacob deGrom and this season\u2019s rookie sensation Noah Syndergaard. In typical New Yorker-fashion (see, Patrick Ewing) Harvey is also unafraid to say he wants to win right now.\n\u201cWe don\u2019t look to the future,\u201d Harvey said. \u201cWe\u2019re here to win now and that\u2019s our goal. We start worrying about what we\u2019re going to do next year or the year after with what we might have then we\u2019re not doing our job to win now and we\u2019re not focusing on what we have now.\u201d\nThe fact that his Mets, who started the season with 10 straight wins, have been crushed by injuries is merely a road bump as far as Harvey\u2019s concerned. David Wright, the squad biggest offensive threat, suffered a hamstring injury that\u2019s evolved to a back injury. Daniel Murphy, who was just moved on third base to cover for Wright, is on the disabled list now with his a leg injury. Then there\u2019s pitchers Bobby Parnell, Zack Wheeler, Josh Edgin and catcher Travis d\u2019Arnaud among others.\nHarvey\u2019s attitude is still the same.\n\u201cIf you look at not having David Wright or look at the guys that are injured, then you\u2019re not doing your part in the clubhouse,\u201d he said. \u201cit\u2019s obviously an unfortunate thing. Everybody wants everyone in healthy but it\u2019s really not realistic in a Major League season. We have to do everything we can now to stay positive and when they come back we\u2019ll do the same.\u201d OK, so maybe he\u2019s still working on the part about patience.",

        "raw_content": "A male Henslow's Sparrow was spotted this May in Shawangunk Grasslands National Wildlife Refuge in Wallkill, New York, along with a possible female. USFWS moved quickly to temporarily close off the trail to avoid disturbing the birds. If the pair did nest, it would be the first record for the site since 1987. Henslow's Sparrows are in grave decline across the Northeast. Video: James Muchmore\nBy Karen Fung\nsongs #3 (Sierra Nevada)\nBelding's song #5 (Belding's)\ntsip calls (alarm)\nMy heart skipped a beat when I saw the report: A rare Henslow's Sparrow had been found in central New York at Shawangunk Grasslands National Wildlife Refuge. The excitement only grew as local birders puzzled over whether it was a new or returning individual. A Henslow's had shown up at the refuge around the same time last May, singing its heart out non-stop for a month before disappearing without a trace. Could the bird be the same male, or was this a second hint of the species' return to the area?\nJust a few decades ago, this question wouldn't be so consequential. The Henslow\u2019s Sparrow\u2014a small, flat-headed, olive-faced songbird\u2014was once common in Midwestern and Eastern grasslands. But the population has seen sharp declines over the past 50 years, mainly due to degraded or disappearing habitat. A study estimated an 8 percent annual slide between 1966 and 2006\u2014the steepest for any grassland bird in North America. In 1999, the state of New York marked the species as threatened.\nThat was the same year the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) took charge of Shawangunk. The agency spent the next decade managing and restoring the 560-acre army training facility, airfield, and race course to support a variety of grassland birds, including some regionally rare ones. The FWS efforts helped shore up habitat already deemed an Important Bird Area by Audubon New York.\nBut even while the refuge flourished and topped the birding charts, Henslow\u2019s Sparrows were nowhere to be seen. The last documented individual to nest in Shawangunk was in 1987\u2014which is why the 2017 sighting had caused such a stir in the birding community. I, among many others, made the trek from New York City to the Hudson Valley last year to twitch the sparrow. Despite its inconspicuous and secretive nature, the lone male could be seen out in the open, perched on a tall piece of grass as it tossed its head back and sang its short, insect-like song.\nIn spring of 2017, a Henslow's Sparrow popped up in Shawangunk for a few weeks, prompting visits from masses of birders and photographers. Video: Sean Graesser\nFast forward to this year's sighting. The photos and sound recording that Joseph DiCostanzo, who first reported the 2018 sparrow, included in his eBird checklist clearly showed a Henslow's. But what clues could differentiate it from last year's? A plumage comparison through photos might work\u2014but birds swap their feathers from year to year, and details may vary with age and molt. Besides, I didn\u2019t have enough experience with the species to rely on plumage. So, instead, I turned to the audio file.\nMore specifically, I checked out the spectrogram that eBird generated from DiCostanzo\u2019s recording. Reading a spectrogram is a bit like reading sheet music: It scans left to right with high pitches near the top of the graph and low pitches at the bottom. The graph itself is a plot of pitch (in kilohertz) versus time (in seconds). The sounds, however, don\u2019t look like musical notes; they form lines that vary in length, shape, thickness, and density based on pitch, volume, and clarity.\nThe Henslow\u2019s song is typically a buzzy two-note phrase that Roger Tory Peterson described as a \u201chiccoughing tsi-lick.\u201d But the spectrogram for this year's Shawangunk sparrow revealed something more complex: a rapid downslur of four pitches delivered in under half a second. After playing the audio file a few times, I could hear the four distinct syllables.\nThe next step was to see how this year\u2019s song compared with last year\u2019s. My initial search turned up 13 eBird reports with spectrograms for the first sparrow. Though recognizable as a Henslow\u2019s hiccup, the 2017 song sounded like three syllable. But its spectrogram revealed a pitch sequence that fell, rose, and then fell again\u2014a totally different visual pattern from 2018. The startling difference could be heard as well.\nAs birders submitted more checklists for the 2018 bird, I gathered further evidence for my hunch. The subsequent clips sounded identical to DiCostanzo\u2019s, making the two-sparrow argument more likely. But I couldn\u2019t rule out a returning individual just yet. What if the 2017 bird had switched up its song between visits to the refuge? The intrigue deepened when some observers reported and documented two Henslow\u2019s together. The second one, presumably a female because it wasn\u2019t singing, had nesting material in its beak. Could the male simply be singing a different tune this year because he\u2019d found a mate?\nJuggling all these ideas, I consulted Nathan Pieplow, who\u2019s been studying birdsong since 2003 and wrote an entire book on spectrograms in 2017. His response from June 14 is as follows:\nI'm about as certain as I can be that the 2018 bird is a different individual than the 2017 bird. Here\u2019s why:\nHenslow's is a poorly studied species, but in the research for my book, I never found a documented case of an individual Henslow's switching song types on a recording.\nYou've got a pretty good sample size of recordings here. I went through all the 2018 recordings and every rendition is identical. I didn't go through all the 2017 recordings, but in my sample, they were all identical to each other and different from the 2018 bird.\nAll the 2017 and 2018 recordings in your sample are stereotyped, not plastic [meaning the songs sound exactly the same each time]. This basically ensures the recordings come from adult birds. It has been shown in many passerine species that once birds are adults, they can\u2019t learn new songs. A few birds have been shown to break this rule (like Northern Mockingbird), but it would be a surprise for Henslow's Sparrow.\nThe 2017 and 2018 songs differ in many details. If birders visit the same bird many times over the course of a season and never document any variation, it's very good evidence that each individual has a single song type. Plus, it happens to fit with the little we know about song in Henslow's\u2014and a great deal that we know about song in passerines in general.\nSo, I'd say you have a new bird this year.\nTo me, the discovery was exciting for a number of reasons. First, it showed how eBird's growing database can be used to study little-known and imperiled species. Checklists submitted by citizen scientists often hold a wealth of information, and through the eBird website, anyone is free to analyze them.\nThe reappearance of the Henslow\u2019s is icing on the cake.\nMore importantly, a second Henslow\u2019s Sparrow in Shawangunk bodes well for both the refuge and the species. Ralph Tabor, a longtime volunteer at the site, tells me that after FWS took over the site, it covered the runways with three feet of soil and seeded them with native warm-season plants such as perennial ryegrass, big bluestem, panic grass, little bluestem, and Indian grass. The revamp was completed in 2011, and since then, visitors have seen a dramatic increase in Grasshopper Sparrows, Bobolinks, Eastern Meadowlarks, Savannah Sparrows, and other grassland birds. The reappearance of the Henslow\u2019s, a species that favors tall grasses and dense vegetation, is icing on the cake.\nI went back to the grasslands on September 2 with the dim hope of seeing a Henslow\u2019s Sparrow before season\u2019s end. (The last eBird sighting was July 31.) But the trail was eerily quiet, and I left with a fresh wave of questions in mind. Did the sparrows breed successfully? Will they return from their wintering grounds next spring? One thing's for certain: Three different Henslow\u2019s in two years is proof that habitat restoration is productive. Already the species may be experiencing a slight jump across the country, perhaps due to projects like Shawangunk\u2019s. If you build it, they will come.\nAudubon is a nonprofit working to save birds and the places they need.

This group of brothers and auxiliary priests was ready to serve local churches in education-related tasks as the Church rebuilt following the French Revolution. Within a few years, the missionary spirit of their founder and the zeal of these men to make God known, loved, and served prompted them to go far beyond the borders of France.\nAs a ministry of the Congregation of Holy Cross, Ave Maria Press is dedicated to the vision and mission of its founder. With the members of Holy Cross, in the words of its Constitutions, we seek to be \"educators in the faith,\" we strive to \"minister to the pastoral and educational needs\" of the Church, and we work to help others \"discover the deepest longing in their lives.\"",

        "raw_content": "Awarded to the attorney or attorneys who have devoted expertise and time to changing the justice system to promote access and opportunity for those most vulnerable.\nJudge Gottsfield served the public as a Maricopa County Superior Court Judge for 35 years and still continues to do so, despite being retired. With a specific interest in \u2018access to justice\u2019 issues regarding veterans, he has made initiatives to cater to this populations\u2019 needs. At times certain needs of individuals go unmet, however Judge Robert, post-retirement, has attempted to prevent this by garnering a competent group of lawyers to provide legal services during those instances. In general, he is successful in providing solutions to countless Arizona veterans struggling with legal problems. Through the Andre House, he created a program that assists veterans with legal proceedings as they attempt to get their lives in order. His provision of pro bono services demonstrates his compassion and dedication to the public.\nHe is a liaison to the State Bar\u2019s Military Legal Assistance Advisory Council and ensure that services are being provided across the board for veterans in legal matters. In 2012, he was inducted into the Maricopa County Bar Association Hall of Fame. In 2013, he was awarded the James A. Walsh Outstanding Jurist Award. And in 2017, he received the Award of Special merit from the Arizona State Bar Association. His humility, conscientiousness, and dedication are clear in his strong efforts with Andre House and St. Joseph the Worker, as well as his countless years of service.\nMuch of Steve\u2019s contributions were \u201cbehind the scenes;\u201d however, his voice and wise, practical counsel often made the critical difference in advancing the cause at issue. His efforts to advance access to justice - both as past-President of the Bar Foundation and in his capacity as a member of the State Bar Board of Governors - were consistent, unrelenting and positive. He served as Co-Chair of the Access to Justice Commissions Pro Bono workgroup and despite Steve\u2019s recent illness, he was adamant about staying involved and, in fact, requested that he be reappointed to the Commission.\nSteve was a respected and beloved member of the Arizona legal community and community at large precisely for the way he so generously gave of his time and talents. Steve was known to deliver just the right story or quip with just the right tenor and timing. He will be remembered by all who knew him as one who never backed down from a challenge yet always shared his grace and lightheartedness in leading others through challenging times or opportunities with a \"can do\" spirit.\nHon. Gerald Strick\nJudge Strick was appointed to the Maricopa County Superior Court bench in the summer of 1971. Within a very short time, Judge Strick had gained a reputation as one of the wisest and most sought-after judges in the County. Judge Strick was requested to do so on multiple occasions by many, if not most of the best trial lawyers in the county, and he worked tirelessly to try to accommodate them all. In those days, Superior Court judges's calendars were not specialized - most contained civil, criminal, domestic, probate and other cases. Judge Strick developed a reputation for fairness, promptness and knowledge in all of those areas.\nIn 1974, Judge Strick was asked to transfer to the Juvenile Court, as \"second in command\" to Presiding Judge Robert Broomfield. (In those days there were only two judges assigned to the Juvenile Court.) He did so, and began a long service dedicated to changing the way in which Juvenile Justice was administered in the County. He and Judge Broomfield presided over a complete change in the Court, not only its facilities, which included a new courthouse, new detention center, new school, and new administrative offices, but in the way in which Juvenile Justice was administered and delivered. During his tenure, Judge Strick helped to introduce a system less concerned with punishment and \"warehousing,\" and much more concerned with saving juveniles from a criminal life, from a system treating dependent children more like criminals, and from an administrative system more concerned with rules and regulations than with the best interests of children. Throughout his time at the Juvenile Court, Judge Strick accomplished those goals while gaining and retaining the respect of prosecutors, defenders, probation officers and others working within the system.\nNominated by Community Legal Services, DNA Peoples Legal Services and Southern Arizona Legal Aid, Snell & Wilmer developed a formal pro bono policy, which both reflected and encouraged the firm\u2019s long-standing commitment to pro bono services. Starting in the late 1980's, this policy encouraged a flourishing of pro bono activity at the firm that continues today. Perhaps most significantly, the policy provided that Snell & Wilmer attorneys would receive hour-for-hour credit towards their annual billable goals for pro bono legal work performed on behalf of the poor. Snell & Wilmer was one of the first firms in the country to adopt such a policy. Snell & Wilmer remains dedicated to the communities in which we live and serve. As a law firm, the attorneys and paralegals regularly share their talents by providing pro bono legal services to the community. Their office implements a monthly schedule and assigns intake dates to participants each year. In 2014, over 9,288 pro bono hours, equating to over $3.8 million of gratuitous legal services, were provided from the Arizona offices. As a whole, over 19,572 pro bono hours, which equated to over $7.9 million of gratuitous legal services, were provided by the firm.\nIn addition to the strong support and pro bono service through the Volunteer Lawyer Programs, Snell & Wilmer supports the Veteran\u2019s Court and Annual StandDown Event. Arizona StandDown is an annual event held at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum. The event provides numerous services to at-risk veterans, including a make-shift Veterans Court and legal clinic. For the fourth year, firm attorneys and staff played an integral role at Arizona StandDown with almost 1,000 veterans in attendance. The firm\u2019s key focus for 2014 was to help the growing number of veterans who have legal issues in other states. This year, approximately 150 homeless and at-risk veterans fell into that group. The Snell & Wilmer team drew on its contacts across the country to assist in clearing warrants, reinstating drivers\u2019 licenses and locating or provide general legal representation in other jurisdictions. Snell & Wilmer attorneys also represented veterans in the criminal courts present at the StandDown.\nEllen S. Katz\nGary Restaino\nJohn Bouma\nElvera Anselmo\nMike Valder\nComm. Frederic Dardis\nHon.

        "raw_content": "valplowman May 29, 2012 Parenting\nIt Mattered To Me\u2026\nWe did this fun thing at church on Sunday that in light of Memorial Day was great.\nAs people, and I think especially women, I think we often get down on ourselves for not having accomplished much. Of course, this \u201cmuch\u201d is according to the world\u2019s view of \u201cmuch.\u201d In truth, as mothers, sisters, daughters, friends, neighbors, etc. we do a whole lot that means a lot to people. We may not have written a book, been famous, invented something amazing, but we do touch the lives of generations.\nIn church, some people shared how someone seemingly ordinary in their lives had done something simple to touch the lives of either themselves or even on up to hundreds in posterity. I thought it would be fun to do that here. We can share what someone did and what impact it had on us, and in turn, hopefully inspire each other to take heart in our \u201cnormal, everyday\u201d roles and know that we can and will make a difference that matters to others.\nI will share a simple one. This is about my favorite teacher, Mrs. LaFlamme. I had her in seventh grade for honors English class. She was fabulous, but her strongest influence came when I was in ninth grade. I had not made it into honors English for tenth grade because the tenth grade teacher didn\u2019t like a citizenship grade I had received in Biology that year. I was a good student and respectful\u2013this Biology teacher was the wrestling coach and would literally wrestle the boys in class, so class was a bit wild and chaotic as a whole and we all got lower than the highest citizenship.\nWhen Mrs. LaFlamme found out that I had been denied honors English for tenth grade, she took action. She talked with the tenth grade teacher and insisted I be in the class. The teacher agreed to allow it, and in the end she was glad she had.\nNow, this had a huge impact on me. I not only appreciated how much Mrs. LaFlamme believed in me, but it kept me in the honors English track, and my degree was later in English. I don\u2019t know if I would have pursued English as a degree had I not been in advanced English courses. I also don\u2019t know if I would have felt comfortable writing this blog without the intense writing training I received as an English major. So Mrs. LaFlamme had a huge impact on my life.\nAt the end of high school, I recognized this impact and wrote her a thank-you note. She so appreciated it, and now as a woman who does the seemingly mundane day after day, I can see why it would mean so much to her. We do so much and get very little feedback for it.\nOkay your turn! Who has influence your life? A relative? Teacher? Leader? Friend? Please share.\nRaising Difficult Children\nTeach Them While Young\nSuccess as a Mom is not measured \u2026\nword to the weary\nPrevious Post Memorial Day 2012\nNext Post Brayden Summary: 7 Years Old\nIn college, I worked summers as a wonderful treatment center for kids who had been abused and neglected to the point that they had no idea how to form relationships with anyone. They had been hurt in unimaginable ways. Somehow, they always knew what their parents, and especially their moms, \"should\" have done to protect them. It was stunning how clearly they could see the childhoods they had and the childhoods they should have had.So, our job was to teach them to form healthy relationships with adults, and try to give them some normal childhood experiences. One time, we took them to a camp in the mountains. There were 8 kids and 3 adults in our cabin. I had spent the first half of the night sick in the bathroom (which was about 100 yards away in the woods) and was still awake when one little boy, about 6 years old, cried out that he had to go to the bathroom. While another lady and I fumbled around for shoes and a flashlight, he couldn't hold it anymore, and soaked his pajamas and the floor. She got the lucky job of cleaning up the floor at 2am, and I took his sticky little hand, a change of clothes, and a flashlight \u2013 and together we walked through the woods in the dark to the bathroom.He changed and we got cleaned up. I glanced at myself in the mirror \u2013 pale, exhausted, in my glasses and an awful hooded sweater. I was so tired.I took him back to the cabin, tucked him in, and crawled into my sleeping bag for what was left of the night. The next morning, when we were all at breakfast, I teased him that I must have looked pretty funny in the night. He said, very solemnly, \"You looked like a mom.\"To this day, that is the greatest compliment I have ever gotten in my life. To him, he was just a little boy who was telling some lady that she'd done a good job helping him clean up a midnight accident, but to me, it meant so much. This little boy's mom had been so abusive \u2013 and I had been, for one night, the mom he had never had.It's affected me as a mother, now with my own children, to remember that it's these little things, the times we take care of our kids when what we really want is our own moms to come and take care of us, that are the true foundation of raising them. I remember this little guy often, and how his words have inspired me to be a better mother to my own kids!\nWhat a beautiful story Katie! Thank you for sharing!\nI grew up in a very musical family. Both of my parents are very gifted musicians and they instilled both a love and talent for it in all 5 of their children. However, it was not their choice for their own careers nor did they desire the same for their kids. They emphasized that the lifestyle of the entertainment industry was not cohesive with our backgrounds in religious faith. They also frequently mentioned the instability it would be financially. None of my siblings ever pursued the arts after high school in their education \u2013 only as an occasional hobby or outlet with their free time.Because of this, I had intended to be a Psychology major (once I got past the whole \"ballerina-astronaut-published author\" fantasies). My freshman year of college, I was in the song-&-dance group for the school (one of the main reasons I chose to attend that specific college). My teacher (the director of the group), John Tebay, was giving me a ride to one of our performances. When he found out I was a Psychology major, this normally easy-going and passive man chided me. He told me that he knew I was meant to pursue my music. He felt that I had it in me to go far with it, even if it weren't in a performance capacity. He told me he felt in his gut that I was one of those people meant to teach and bring my gift to others. And he wanted me to know that he didn't tell this to just any of his students. He was often a favorite teacher for many, and it meant the world to me to be singled out by him. I didn't change my studies at that time, but what he said, and how he'd said it, hit me really deep.2 years later, as I was looking into transferring schools, on a whim (literally, the day before auditions) I decided to audition for the Music Dance Theatre Program at BYU because of this nagging in the back of my mind in John Tebay's voice. When I didn't hear back when I was supposed to, I assumed I'd been rejected. Turns out, I hadn't been accepted to BYU due to a \"W\" on my transcript from my freshman year of college. However, the program wanted me and offered me a scholarship in exchange for the school admitting me in spite of my low mark. I graduated from BYU in 2005 with a BFA in Music Dance Theatre and with no student loan debt (thanks to a scholarship). My senior year, I was offered a role in a national tour as well as in an offbroadway production in NYC (both of which I turned down as I had just found I was pregnant with my 1st child). Some day, when my kids are much older, I hope to teach high school music (which I've done in the past, and it fits me so well). And this was all due to a teacher at a junior college in a small Orange County town.\nMy grandma and grandpa were like my second parents \u2013 the way they were there for me and my siblings was nothing ordinary! But one of the main benefits I got from them was witnessing their happy, strong marriage. Without them, I would not have had that example. My grandpa always told me that, although some people think that each person in a marriage should give 50% of the effort, that's not true. Each person needs to give 100%. Sometimes he would grin and change that to 110%. My marriage is so important to me and I am determined to try to live up to his advice.\nHow fun Tiff! That is great he was willing to say something to you.\nI love that Kristy. 100%\u2013that is so true. What a powerful lesson.\nMy 6th grade teacher, Mr. Haskel, had a great impact on me as a good teacher and also by a couple of things he said to me that I've kept with me. One day while he was out of the room, some kids were carrying on inappropriately. I wasn't really taking part but I also didn't speak up against it and when he came back it looked like I was part of it. I was embarrassed. He told me later that he thought I was better than that and I shouldn't just go along with the crowd. At the end of the year we all signed a card for him and some kids said how much they loved him, he was the best teacher in the whole world and other kids went the other way and said how terrible he was(!) etc., and I wrote something like, I think you're an okay teacher. Such flattery! \ud83d\ude42 He told me that's what he liked about me, that I did my own thing and didn't cave to peer pressure and that I should work to keep those qualities. I wish I could remember exactly what he said (since I doubt he said peer pressure, but you know what I mean) but the sentiment really stuck with me. I was proud that he noted something about me which made me feel special and also gave me something to think about and work toward. He's still one of my favorite teachers and he probably has no idea that such small statements could stick and remind me to do what's right as they have.\nKristin I think you are right\u2013we have no idea what small things we do as parents/mentors that have a life-long impact on people!",

        "raw_content": "Insurance is essentially a way of sharing risk among lots of people. Insurance companies need a large pool of customers in order to be able to offer their products, which can divided into the following three areas \u2013 risk, savings and service. We mainly insure risks in the non-life business and we provide services that supplement this requirement. We also cover risks and offer services in the life segment. However, the focus here is on savings.\nAn insurance company\u2019s balance sheet is a good starting point to obtain a better understanding of its business and how it adds value. The four key value drivers of insurance work in tandem here:\nAssets (A2\u2005\u2013\u2005B2)\nNon-life technical reserves (A3)\nLife technical reserves (B3)\nEquity (C3)\nWhat does an insurance company do with customers' premiums?\nWe use the premiums paid by our customers to buy assets (A2\u2005\u2013\u2005B2) such as equities, fixed-income securities and real estate. We use the regular income from these investments to provide our customers with the safety and security that we have promised them with respect to their risks and savings.\nWe offset the value of these promises on the equity and liabilities side of the balance sheet by setting aside technical reserves for our life and non-life business (A3\u2005\u2013\u2005B3). We always have to keep sufficient equity (C3) available to ensure that we can honour the promises made to our customers at any time. The minimum amount of equity that we need is determined partly by our own calculations and partly by the requirements set by the regulatory authorities of the countries in which we operate. This equity is provided to us by investors (shareholders). Because this equity is risk capital which \u2013 in the worst-case scenario \u2013 could be lost, our investors demand in return a level of compensation commensurate with the risk involved. This compensation is provided in the form of profits which are returned to investors in the form of dividends or a higher share price. Consequently, this circular flow of funds between risk sellers (customers) and risk buyers (shareholders) only works if an insurance company can earn profits. It does so if it invests its assets as profitably as possible and if the insurance claims that occur do not exceed the amounts set aside by the insurer in its technical reserves. Shareholders will continue to provide the insurance company with equity if the ratio between the profit that it generates and the capital that it employs (return on equity) is adequate.\nMore abou the insurance ABC",

        "raw_content": "Although she sells a lot of bottled water and soft drinks at Sofi's Crepes, her smaller-than-small shop on Charles Street, Ann Costlow couldn't find room for a recycling bin to process the empties. She couldn't, that is, until she began getting complaints from her customers.\n\"I was like, 'Yeah-yeah-yeah, that's great for others, but I don't have the space.' \" Costlow said. \"But, more and more people started asking me, 'Do you recycle?' It became this nagging, ankle-biting thing, until finally, I realized I was beginning to look like I didn't care about the Earth.\"\nChastened, she changed the set-up at her first restaurant, and made sure to include a recycling center, before being asked, at her second Sofi's, which she recently opened at the Woman's Industrial Exchange. \"It shows what a little pestering can do,\" she said.\nA small victory, to be sure, and one many ecologists would rejoice over. Yet, others worry about conversions such as Costlow's, which occurred only after she was scolded into action. It's as though the scarlet letter of Nathaniel Hawthorne's time has turned green today; if you break an ecological rule, vigilant members of society now feel free to condemn you with a large \"A\" for \"anti-environment.\" Some are even calling this newly judgmental type of activism \"greener than thou\" behavior.\nConsider the experience of Catherine Lippincott, a writer from the East End of Long Island, N.Y., who recently ate at a self-serve natural foods restaurant that had what she found to be a confusingly complicated recycling system. \"There were at least five different bins to separate your trash into - compost, plastics, bottles, inorganic matter - and I got confused about where to put a milk carton,\" she said. \"I made a mistake, yes, but another customer glared at me, while she reached into the bin and grabbed my errant carton. It was very aggressive.\"\n\"This woman was giving me what a friend of mine calls 'eco-tude,'\" Lippincott continued. \"It's when people have good intentions and they want to save the world, but they get a little rabid in the process. Unfortunately, they alienate those who might otherwise join their cause.\"\nAlso subjected to \"eco-tude\" was Carol Vanderkloot, a marketing executive from New York City.\n\"My sister lives in a big house in suburban Boston, and even in the wintertime, she doesn't switch on her lights until it is practically dark outside, and keeps the thermostat turned very low. The last time I was there, I was stumbling about, practically freezing, but when I asked her to do something about it, she refused, explaining she was worried about global warming,\" Vanderkloot said. \"I live in a tiny Manhattan apartment! My carbon footprint is nothing compared to hers, yet she's implying that I don't care about the environment. It struck me as quite silly.\"\nGreen comes in many shades, of course, and what is silly to one person is deadly serious to another.\n\"How much are we willing to get in someone's face over these issues? Activists struggle with this question,\" said Don Robertson, director of the Baltimore chapter of Earthsave International, a New York-based organization that promotes a shift to plant-based diets. \"With the dire issues we face today - global warming, the possible extinction of mankind - it's tough to find the right balance. Can I approach people in a calm, peaceful way, yet get across the urgency at hand? Or, if I become too strident, do I run the risk of turning people off?\"\nCarol Silldorff, an environmental consultant who helps coordinate Baltimore Green Week (scheduled again for April 2008) and who lives in Timonium, advocates \"planting a seed\" through such simple suggestions as having corporations use both sides of a sheet of paper to photocopy reports.\n\"Even if they don't react now, people may decide to change behaviors in the future,\" she said. \"Sixteen years ago, I was in graduate school getting a master's in environmental management, and another student talked to me about food issues. At that point, I ate everything on the planet, and I thought he was crazy. A year later, though, I became a vegetarian.\"\nRobertson suggests the main problem with \"greener than thou\" chiding is that most people are already aware, in a general way, of what is good or bad for the environment.\nReminders to turn off lights when leaving a room or to not eat \"over-fished\" types of seafood such as Chilean sea bass sometimes are irritating because they seem so insignificant. Like my taking a shorter shower each morning is really going to save the earth?\n'A human billboard'\nOn the other hand, it is the relative triviality and painlessness of making these small changes that gives some activists what they feel is permission to chastise the delinquent. If your friend drives a gas-guzzling sport utility vehicle, do you refuse to ride in it? If your sister-in-law is never seen without a bottle of Fiji water in her hand, do you urge her to consider that tap water is just as good, if not better? The eco-scolders say \"yes\" on both counts.\n\"I am a human billboard, I advertise what I am doing,\" said Julie Kleinhans, a real estate investor in her family's privately owned company, and who lives in Towson. Kleinhans, who says she tries to live \"as green a life as possible,\" is also a vegan who's especially concerned about the environmental damage caused by industrialized agriculture and factory farms.\n\"I tend to bring up these concerns while people are eating,\" she admits. \"I start to describe the terrible conditions under which a hen or a cow is raised, but people usually cut me off. They want to eat their food, but they don't want to know where it comes from.\"\nThat the battle is being waged in America at such a grass-roots, one-bite-at-a-time level is a signal change, according to Yann Risz, managing director of Tendris, a Dutch company that specializes in the creation of earth-friendly and sustainable products such as Lemnis LED light bulbs and ClimaCount, the first \"green\" credit card that, for every purchase made, offsets an equivalent value in carbon dioxide.\n\"There is a very interesting shift in the U.S. consumer who's now most concerned about the environmental movement. Twenty years ago, it was a bearded guy living in forest with his organic garden. Now, it is an overeducated yuppie who cares, but cares about being smart, and being perceived as smart,\" he said. \"So, it is becoming fashionable to be green. There is some status that comes with this. And this puts pressure on industry, and it creates peer pressure.\"\nThe distinction between peer pressure and outright provocation, however, can be hard to distinguish, especially when one's environmental choices can strike some people as strange. Just ask the \"human billboard,\" Julie Kleinhans, who earnestly lists the great lengths she's gone to manifest her beliefs.\n\"I always carry a reusable grocery bag. I don't use a dryer, but a clothesline. I don't have a power lawnmower, but one I push by hand. Eighty percent of my electricity at home comes from wind power, through an arrangement with Washington Gas Energy Services. I don't have a car, but I either walk, take buses or car pool. I can easily afford more, but have made a conscious decision to live with less,\" she said.\nKleinhans compares her role to that of an evangelist, and her voice does take on something nearly like apocalyptic fervor when she talks. \"The more I read, the more convinced I am that we are at a tipping point. I put so much energy into these issues, because if we don't do something now, we'll be past the point of no return.\"\nAnd what keeps Kleinhans going, is that sometimes there is a payoff to her greener-than-thou lifestyle. \"I truly believe you can nag your family more than anyone else. And, finally, after seven years of my setting the example, my father has become a vegan,\" she exulted. \"I tried to get at him all sorts of ways, and I finally brought him around.\"",

        "title": "The Basics of Georgia\u2019s New Hands Free Law | Michael D. Barber & Associates, P.C.",
        "raw_content": "On May 2, 2018, Governor Nathan Deal signed bill HB 673 making significant changes to the code sections that govern Georgia Drivers' use of cell phones and other wireless electronic devices. The most significant changes repeal two code sections that contained many exceptions to using devices hands free and instead places a blanket rule for everyone regardless of age and circumstances.\nHB 673 makes the following changes to Georgia Law that go into effect on July 1, 2018 codified in the Official Code of Georgia Annotated at section 40-6-241. All drivers operating a motor vehicle on any road of this state are prohibited from holding or supporting devices such as cellphones, tablets, and GPS units, etc with any part of your body. No cradling your phone between your neck and head during a call or holding your phone to follow GPS instructions. You may still use your devices for GPS and also for calls so long as you don't have to press more than one button to make or receive a call. Another significant change is that drivers are no longer able to snap photos or videos while their vehicle is on and in any gear other than \u201cPark.\u201d\nIf you have a habit of posting photos and videos you took while driving to social media like Facebook or Instagram, your photos could become evidence of your violation of O.C.G.A. 40-6-241. If you happen to cause a collision on the roadway one day, your social media posts can be evidence of your lack of regard for the law and a pattern of poor driving habits.\nThe penalties for using your phone or another electronic device in violation of the new hands-free code section are tiered based on how many times you have been convicted under this statute. The first offense carries a penalty of 1 point on your license and a fine of $50.00. A second offense under the same code section will carry a penalty of 2 points and a fine of $100.00. Any third or subsequent offenses will carry a penalty of 3 points and a fine that will range from $150.00 to $1,000.00. The state of Georgia authorizes prosecutors to demand a fine amount up to $1,000.00 for misdemeanors. If you have multiple convictions under the new statute, your penalties could even include a few days in jail.\nIn anticipation of this new law, I bought a few gadgets to see if I could drive, answer calls, and listen to music without my phone falling into some dark corner of my floorboard. I quickly discovered that suction cups on my windshield still do not hold up under the beautiful Georgia summer sun and finally settled on a gadget that secures itself to one of my AC vents, and holds onto my phone via a powerful magnet. A quick internet search brings up many different devices that will work with most cellphones on the market today.\nWhatever gadget works for you, make sure to have tested your setup prior to July 1, 2018 when this new law goes into effect. If you would like more safety tips, please check out our prior article on \u201cPut it Down Before it Kills You\u201d which contains a pre-driving safety checklist.",

        "raw_content": "Published in Errors & Omissions on 02/09/2016 by Baritz & Colman LLP.\n\u201cMoney often costs too much.\u201d Ralph Waldo Emerson\nA common area of dispute arises in the context of the stepparent-stepchild relationship. While no single \u201csilver bullet\u201d will prevent inheritance disputes, certain preventive steps can be taken by insurance professionals to minimize their exposure to being dragged into these familial disputes. Obviously, full disclosure and formal documentation of each person\u2019s wishes and objectives is of paramount importance. Absent such disclosure, the insurance professional may be forced to endure the time and expense of participating in unwanted (and perhaps unnecessary) litigation. Consider the following scenario:\nFACTS: Agent has a long-standing relationship with Bob and Nancy Client. Bob has a child, Chandler, from a prior relationship and wants to ensure that Chandler is financially protected after Bob\u2019s death. Nancy has no children of her own and maintains a relatively neutral relationship with Chandler. Bob received an inheritance from his father and wants to set up an annuity to provide an income stream for his lifetime with Chandler, who is named as the beneficiary for the death benefit. Agent assists Bob in purchasing a Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit Annuity, which named Chandler as the beneficiary. Nancy participates in the meetings with Agent and is listed as a joint owner of the Annuity. Bob and Nancy are provided with the annuity contract upon issuance and receive quarterly account statements over the next six years, all of which identify Chandler as the named beneficiary.\nFollowing Bob\u2019s death, a dispute arose between Nancy and Chandler as to the annuity death benefit proceeds.1 Nancy contended that she should be the beneficiary as she was the joint owner under the contract. However, the annuity contract provided that the joint owner shall be the beneficiary unless the contract data pages specify otherwise. Here, the contract data pages clearly specify that Chandler is the beneficiary. A lawsuit related to the substantial annuity death benefit was subsequently commenced involving Nancy, Chandler, Agent, and the annuity carrier. In the lawsuit, Nancy asserted a claim for negligence against the Agent based upon his purported failure to name her as beneficiary on the annuity.\nOUTCOME: During a court proceeding, the Agent contended that Nancy failed to demonstrate that either she or Bob instructed the Agent to name them as beneficiaries on the annuity. Therefore, Nancy was unable to substantiate her claim for negligence against the Agent. The Agent further asserted that Nancy\u2019s testimony was insufficient to establish that not only was it her intent to be the beneficiary of the annuity, but that she actually expressed that intent to the Agent. Given the nature of the contentious areas of dispute, the Judge directed the parties to consider settlement. A settlement was ultimately reached that represented a substantial percentage of the annuity death benefit.\nLESSON TO BE LEARNED: While there may be little that can be done to prevent a disgruntled client from commencing a lawsuit against an insurance professional, the ability to provide written evidence of the disclosures, as well as the understanding and consent to such actions, may perhaps reduce the time and expense of the subsequent litigation for the Agent. While the annuity documents in this case clearly identified Chandler as the beneficiary, Nancy was able to create an issue of fact as to whether the Agent properly advised both Bob and Nancy of the beneficiary designation. In many states, spouses are required to acknowledge in writing if a nonspouse beneficiary is designated. While it may not be required in the Agent\u2019s jurisdiction, perhaps such a written acknowledgement would have eliminated the claim against the Agent.\nEnsure that all key provisions, including beneficiary designations, are clear and in writing. In order to eliminate any confusion in the future, all parties should be fully apprised of their beneficiary designations at the time of purchase.\nBe careful to document any subsequent communications with the parties as to any requests for changes to the beneficiary designation.\nObtain the written consent of the spouse if a non-spouse beneficiary is designated.\nHave the client sign a written disclosure of the key terms, including beneficiary designations, at the time of delivery of the insurance or annuity contract.\n1 This synopsis does not address the law regarding spousal ownership rights which can vary depending on the jurisdiction of the parties. Rather, this article addresses the \u201cbest practices\u201d that an Agent should be aware of in dealing with these situations exclusive of the relative law of the subject jurisdiction.",

        "raw_content": "You are here: Home / Bedford Park Society / The Society \u2013 past and present\nThe Society \u2013 past and present\nTypical Bedford Park listed house\nFounded in 1963 to protect the character of the garden suburb, the Bedford Park Society was first set up when a local conservationist, Architect Tom Greeves, and community activist Harry Taylor met. They had both had expressed horror at a rash of demolition and inappropriate development in the neighbourhood and decided to act after a large Norman Shaw house in Bedford Road was replaced by a yellow-brick, flat-roofed old people\u2019s home \u2013 the antithesis of the suburb\u2019s steep roofs, red tiles and gables.\nTom, who with his wife Eleanor went to live in Newton Grove in 1951 and stayed there till his death, came to be known as the saviour of Bedford Park. An architect, a witty perspectivist and an able musician, Tom had the breadth of culture to appreciate both the charm and the originality of the place when few others did, and worked indefatigably on its behalf. He realised that the only real protection for Bedford Park lay in statutory listing of the buildings.\nSeeking advice, he turned to poet John Betjeman, a prominent defender of Victorian architecture. Betjeman \u2013 who became the Society\u2019s first patron \u2013 suggested they print some headed paper and start lobbying as if the Society already existed. Tom became secretary while Harry was vice-chairman until his death in 1964.\nThe turning point was the 1967 Bedford Park Festival, when the Society organised an exhibition in the vicarage to highlight the history of Bedford Park and the dangers it faced. One visitor was a Ministry of Housing & Local Government inspector, who was so impressed he recommended the Grade II listing of 356 buildings, including the former Stores (now offices), the Tabard Inn, the Club (now the London Buddhist Vihara), the Church of St Michael and All Angels and its Parish Hall. The Church and Tabard have since been promoted to Grade II*.\nThis victory was consolidated when Conservation Areas were declared by the boroughs of Ealing (1969) and Hounslow (1970), who administer the two halves of Bedford Park. These areas have since been expanded to take in more non-listed houses.\nIn 2001 Hounslow implemented an Article 4(2) Direction, which gives greater protection to these non-listed buildings. Ealing Council introduced an Article 4(2) Direction in 2008.\nThe Society is interested in the buildings, their setting and their maintenance, along with encouraging development sympathetic to their architectural and historic importance. We want owners to appreciate details such as windows, brickwork, boundary fences and mature trees which all contribute to the character of our streets.\nIn addition to our core preservation work, we are also concerned with a broad range of issues that affect Bedford Park and are keen to respond to our members\u2019 interests and requests for help with local issues. We are committed to modernising and improving the effectiveness of the Society\u2019s communications and our contact with our members. We have an established programme of events including meetings, lectures, exhibitions and social activities.\nThe Society has links with similar organisations locally and combines resources and ideas with them to tackle local issues. We are also a member of the London Forum of Amenity Groups, a capital-wide organisation chaired by the Society\u2019s vice chairman, Peter Eversden.\nRecently, the Bedford Park Community Group joined forces with the Society, enabling us to provide a single, more powerful voice for Bedford Park and the whole community. This follows a Special General Meeting of the Bedford Park Community Group on 27 February when the formalities were completed to dissolve the association.\nWhile continuing to maintain the Society\u2019s core work to protect and enhance the amenities and architectural quality of the area, the fresh support and perspective from the Bedford Park Community Group has increased our capacity to tackle a broad range of issues more effectively and to implement our plans to modernise and improve the way we work.\nWe are most grateful to those members of the Bedford Park Community Group\u2019s Management Committee and their Road Representatives who are now working with the Society and for the contribution they have already made.\nWe believe that we are now able to better serve the needs of our members and those of the whole local community.",

        "raw_content": "FOOTBALL: Jacks to host Hornets in home opener\nBy Ryan Pietruszewski on Sep 6, 2018 at 10:36 p.m.\nBEMIDJI -- With a week one victory and some notes from their first game, the Bemidji High School football team has its eyes on Friday\u2019s home opener, where they will host Big Lake at 7 p.m. at Chet Anderson Stadium.\n\u201cThe kids have belief in each other right now that is pretty strong,\u201d head coach Troy Hendricks said. \u201cThe belief that they have in their teammates to do the job and to do their job is strong right now. We\u2019re just going to build on that. It\u2019s one week at a time, one game at a time. We\u2019re 1-0, and our goal this week is to go 1-0.\u201d\nThe Lumberjacks were in a similar situation last season after week one. In both years, they were coming off a season-opening win over Rogers and feeling good heading into game two against Big Lake.\nBut Bemidji hopes for a different result Friday compared to last year, as the Hornets edged the Jacks in a 32-28 nailbiter.\nLooking at the pair of opponents through the remainder of last season, Rogers ended the regular season with a 6-2 record, while Big Lake finished 3-5.\n\u201cBig Lake didn\u2019t have the same record and/or the same schedule as Rogers, so if you look back on it, you go, \u2018maybe we overlooked Big Lake a little bit and played really good against Rogers,\u2019\u201d Hendricks said.\n\u201cWe just have to make sure that we don\u2019t take anybody lightly. So that\u2019s our goal this week is to get better no matter who we\u2019re playing. Execute a little bit better on all three phases, and if we do that, I think the scoreboard will take care of itself.\u201d\nWith a new head coach at the helm of the Hornets, the Jacks can\u2019t assume much of what they\u2019ll see Friday, but they can be sure they\u2019ll run into DeVonne Harris.\nThe defensive end/tight end is ranked eighth in Minnesota players to watch for the class of 2016, according to gopherhole.com. Last year as a junior, he racked up 58 tackles, 13 tackles for a loss, eight sacks, a rumble recovery, two forced fumbles on defense along with 23 receptions for 442 yards and four touchdowns on offense.\n\u201cHe\u2019s going to be maybe as special a kid as we\u2019ll see all year,\u201d Hendricks said.\nAlong with taming Harris on both sides of the ball, Bemidji\u2019s focus will be on its own game using the one game of tape they\u2019ve seen on Big Lake.\n\u201cOur strategy is to take care of ourselves,\u201d Hendricks said. \u201cWe have a decent idea of what we\u2019re going to do, but they don\u2019t have a real strong idea of what we\u2019re going to do either because they have one game tape on us.\n\u201cIt\u2019s a new season. You never quite know with a new coaching staff what they\u2019re going to do, other than the tape that we have. We\u2019re going to utilize that tape and look what they did last year and what they had success with and make sure that we\u2019re sound in all three phases as it pertains to them and what they do.\u201d\nWhat: Football game between Bemidji and Big Lake\nWhere: Chet Anderson Stadium\nWhen: 7 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 7\nExplore related topics:sportsfootballlumberjacksBemidji High SchoolFootballPrep footballBig Lake",

On behalf of the European Commission, Berenschot started providing technical support in Eastern Europe where we helped new member states prepare for integration into the European Union in the area of agriculture, law and internal affairs, and adapting the \u2018Acquis Communautaire'. We also helped these countries strengthen their government structures in general. In recent years, Berenschot has supplied experts throughout the world to more than 75 development projects undertaken by the European Commission.\nBerenschot is currently providing technical support in projects in various countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America which are receiving foreign aid. These projects are focused on reshaping the public sector and managing donor funds in the relevant countries, for example.\nIn this regard, we work with international experts who are deployed locally in a team setting.

        "raw_content": "to win the state.\u2019 That's not right. That's not fair. That's not just.\u201d\nRepublican-led legislatures around the country have strong-armed the passage of laws that require voters to present identification documents that are, in many cases, difficult or costly for working class and poor people. The design, as several Republican officials have unwittingly revealed, is not to fight voter fraud (which is effectively non-existent), but to prevent Democratic-leaning voters from casting ballots. Foremost on that list of targets are African-American voters in urban areas.\nIt is an issue that is clearly gaining steam as the nation looks toward November\u2019s election. In the battleground states of Pennsylvania and Ohio there are arguments in various courts on the topic of voter ID laws, with the Ohio case likely to head to the United States Supreme Court.\nAlso, in Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan\u2019s home state of Wisconsin, the attorney general recently asked the state Supreme Court to review on an emergency basis two rulings barring the use of newly passed voter ID laws.\nThe intensified attention to one of the most egregious efforts to suppress minority voting is welcome. The two political party conventions are now over and in the aftermath of the revelry and celebration in Charlotte, the attention to voting rights and the effort to keep Black voters from the polls is one of the most significant legacies to emerge from that gathering.\nRep.

It was a pretty foggy morning, but the sun burned off the fog just as we arrived at the refuge around 8:30. The Birdbrains have been saying that the Peacocks Pocket drive has been fairly active, so we headed there first. We found Black-Necked Stilts and a small variety of shorebirds. Then we went over to the Scrub Jay trail and found a Scrub Jay! Finally we ended up at the Visitor\u2019s Center, where they have a little boardwalk. We found a pair of White-Eyed Vireos building a nest, and we stood and watched and photographed for probably over half an hour. Dyeyo and I are used to walking the trails at the Circle B Bar Reserve, so it was strange for us to drive Peacock\u2019s Pocket. The car works as a bird blind, but the birds at Merritt Island are also more skittish than our birds at Circle B. Our first bird of the day was this White Ibis, who probably had no idea that he was casting such a great reflection [\u2026]\nMore Winter Birds Have Arrived at the Circle B Bar Reserve\nPosted on Friday, November 12, 2010 Wednesday, January 5, 2011\nI spent my off-Friday morning at the Circle B Bar Reserve. I heard my first American Goldfinch of the season! I never saw it, but the call is unmistakable. Heron Hideout is definitely a great place to be at sunrise these days. The water levels in the marsh are extremely low, so the birds congregate on the right side of the trail, right in the great morning light. This morning there were at least one hundred birds, including five or six Roseate Spoonbills, and my first-of-season Greater Yellowlegs and Lesser Yellowlegs. :) I had to dial in negative exposure compensation for the bright birds and the heavy sunlight reflections. The result was a dark portrait with a nicely illuminated bird. I also used a bit of fill flash. A lone Wood Stork stood in the midst of the action. It can be hard to get good reflection shots. First you have to have the right lighting conditions for the reflection to be bright, and the water has to be still for the reflection to be mirror-like. That\u2019s hard to do when the pond is being skimmed by hundreds of birds! So I was excited when I saw that I\u2019d gotten [\u2026]",

Data about veterans are collected monthly in the\nCPS; these monthly data are the source of the 2017 annual averages presented in this\nnews release. In August 2017, a supplement to the CPS collected additional information\nabout veterans on topics such as service-connected disability and veterans' current or\npast Reserve or National Guard membership. Information from the supplement is also\npresented in this release. The supplement was co-sponsored by the U.S. Department of\nVeterans Affairs and by the U.S. Department of Labor's Veterans' Employment and\nTraining Service. For more information, see the Technical Note, which provides\ndefinitions of terms used in this release.\n--The unemployment rate for male veterans (3.6 percent) declined over the year,\nand the rate for female veterans (4.1 percent) changed little in 2017. The\nunemployment rate for male veterans was not statistically different from the\nrate for female veterans. (See table A.)\n--Among the 370,000 unemployed veterans in 2017, 59 percent were age 25 to 54,\n37 percent were age 55 and over, and 4 percent were age 18 to 24. (See\ntable 2A.)\n--Veterans with a service-connected disability had an unemployment rate of 4.3\npercent in August 2017, little different from veterans with no disability\n(4.5 percent). (See table 7.)\n--About 1 in 3 employed veterans with a service-connected disability worked in\nthe public sector in August 2017, compared with about 1 in 5 veterans with no\ndisability. (See table 8.)\n--In 2017, the unemployment rate of veterans varied across the country, ranging\nfrom 1.7 percent in Maine and Vermont to 7.3 percent in Rhode Island. (See\nThe Veteran Population\nIn 2017, 20.4 million men and women were veterans, accounting for about 8 percent of\nthe civilian noninstitutional population age 18 and over. About 10 percent of all\nveterans were women. In the survey, veterans are defined as men and women who have\npreviously served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces and who were civilians at\nthe time these data were collected. Veterans are more likely to be men than were\nnonveterans, and they also tend to be older. In part, this reflects the characteristics\nof veterans who served during World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam era, all\nof whom are now over 60 years old. Veterans who served during these wartime periods\naccounted for 39 percent (8.1 million) of the total veteran population in 2017.\nThirty-six percent of veterans (7.4 million) served during Gulf War era I (August 1990\nto August 2001) or Gulf War era II (September 2001 forward). About a quarter (4.9\nmillion) served outside the designated wartime periods. (See tables 1 and 2A.)\nGulf War-era II Veterans\nIn 2017, there were 4.1 million veterans who had served during Gulf War era II\n(September 2001 forward). Seventeen percent of these veterans were women, compared\nwith about 4 percent of veterans from World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam\nera. Seventy percent of all Gulf War-era II veterans were between the ages of 25 and\n44. (See tables 1 and 2A.)\nAmong Gulf War-era II veterans, the unemployment rate for men was not statistically\ndifferent from the rate for women in 2017. The unemployment rate for men edged down\nto 4.3 percent in 2017. The rate for women, at 5.5 percent, was essentially unchanged\nfrom the prior year. (See table A.)\nIn 2017, the unemployment rate for male Gulf War-era II veterans, at 4.3 percent, was\nthe same as the rate for male nonveterans. Among men age 25 to 34, Gulf War-era II\nveterans had a higher unemployment rate (6.0 percent) than did nonveterans (4.5\npercent). Among men age 45 to 54, however, Gulf War-era II veterans had a lower\nunemployment rate (1.5 percent) than did nonveterans (3.1 percent). (See table 2B.)\nAmong women, the unemployment rate for Gulf War-era II veterans (5.5 percent) was\nhigher than the rate for nonveterans (4.1 percent) in 2017. By age, unemployment\nrates for female veterans and nonveterans were similar, with one exception: 25- to\n34-year-old female veterans had a rate of 8.0 percent, higher than the rate of 4.5\npercent for their nonveteran counterparts. (See table 2C.)\nEmployed Gulf War-era II veterans were about twice as likely to work in the public\nsector in 2017 as employed nonveterans--27 percent and 13 percent, respectively.\nAmong the employed, 15 percent of Gulf War-era II veterans worked for the federal\ngovernment, compared with 2 percent of nonveterans. (See table 5.)\nIn August 2017, 47 percent of Gulf War-era II veterans reported serving in Iraq,\nAfghanistan, or both locations. These veterans had an unemployment rate of 4.4\npercent, little different from Gulf War-era II veterans who served elsewhere\n(4.5 percent). (See table 10.)\nGulf War-era I Veterans\nOf the 3.3 million veterans who served during Gulf War era I (August 1990 to August\n2001), the proportion who were women (15 percent in 2017) was similar to that of\nGulf War-era II veterans (17 percent). Nearly all (99 percent) Gulf War-era I\nveterans were age 35 and over in 2017, compared with 54 percent of Gulf War-era II\nveterans. (See tables 1 and 2A.)\nIn 2017, the unemployment rates for male and female Gulf War-era I veterans were\n3.0 percent and 3.4 percent, respectively, lower than the rates for their Gulf\nWar-era II veteran counterparts (4.3 percent and 5.5 percent). The difference in\nunemployment rates reflects, at least in part, the older age profile of veterans who\nserved during Gulf War era I. Younger people--whether veterans or nonveterans--tend\nto have higher unemployment rates than older people. (See tables 2B and 2C.)\nVeterans of Other Service Periods\nIn 2017, 4.9 million veterans had served on active duty during \"other service\nperiods,\" mainly between the Korean War and the Vietnam era and between the Vietnam\nera and Gulf War era I. All veterans from this period of service were 45 years or\nolder at the time of the survey. Twenty-two percent of these veterans were age 45\nto 54 in 2017, another 39 percent were age 55 to 64, and another 39 percent were\nage 65 and over. (See table 2A.)\nIn 2017, 1 in 10 veterans of other service periods were women. Among veterans of\nother service periods, the unemployment rate for men (3.2 percent) was little\ndifferent than the rate for women (2.7 percent). (See table 1.)\nVeterans with a Service-connected Disability\nIn August 2017, about 4.9 million veterans, or 24 percent of the total, had a service-\nconnected disability. Veterans with a service-connected disability are assigned a\ndisability rating by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs or the U.S. Department of\nDefense. Ratings range from 0 to 100 percent, in increments of 10 percentage points,\ndepending on the severity of the condition. (See table 7.)\nThe unemployment rate for veterans with a service-connected disability was 4.3 percent\nin August 2017, little different than the rate for veterans with no disability (4.5\npercent). The labor force participation rate for veterans with a service-connected\ndisability (48.4 percent) was not statistically different than the rate for veterans\nwith no disability (49.2 percent).\nAmong veterans with a service-connected disability, 28 percent reported a disability\nrating of less than 30 percent, while another 41 percent had a rating of 60 percent\nor higher. In August 2017, veterans with a service-connected disability rating of\nless than 30 percent were much more likely to be in the labor force than those with\na rating of 60 percent or higher (53.5 percent and 37.7 percent, respectively). The\nunemployment rate for veterans with a disability rating of less than 30 percent was\n3.3 percent, not statistically different than for those with a disability rating of\n60 percent or higher (4.8 percent).\nAmong veterans who served during Gulf War era II, 41 percent (1.7 million) reported\na service-connected disability and nearly half of these veterans had a service-\nconnected disability rating of 60 percent or higher. In August 2017, 75.8 percent of\nall Gulf War era II veterans with a service-connected disability were in the labor\nforce, lower than the 85.5 percent for veterans from this period with no service-\nconnected disability. Among Gulf War-era II veterans, the unemployment rate for\nthose with a service-connected disability was 3.9 percent, not statistically\ndifferent from those with no disability (4.8 percent).\nIn August 2017, 28 percent (946,000) of veterans who served during Gulf War era I\nreported a service-connected disability. Their labor force participation rate was\nlower (65.6 percent) than the rate for veterans from the era who did not have a\ndisability (85.9 percent). The unemployment rate for Gulf War-era I veterans with a\nservice-connected disability (4.3 percent) was not statistically different than that\nfor Gulf War-era I veterans without a service-connected disability (2.8 percent).\nAmong the 1.7 million veterans with a service-connected disability from World War II,\nthe Korean War, and the Vietnam era, 15.4 percent were in the labor force in August\n2017, lower than the 23.1 percent of veterans from these periods who did not have a\nservice-connected disability. The unemployment rate of veterans from these wartime\nperiods with a service-connected disability was 3.9 percent, lower than their\ncounterparts with no disability (7.9 percent).\nThirteen percent (633,000) of veterans who served during other service periods reported\na service-connected disability in August 2017. The labor force participation rate of\nthese veterans (38.6 percent) was lower than their counterparts without a service-\nconnected disability (48.3 percent), while the unemployment rate was not statistically\ndifferent for veterans with a service-connected disability (6.7 percent) and those with\nno disability (3.6 percent).\nRegardless of period of service, many veterans with a service-connected disability\nworked in the public sector. In August 2017, 33 percent of employed veterans with a\ndisability worked in federal, state, or local government, compared with 19 percent of\nveterans with no disability and 13 percent of nonveterans. Nineteen percent of employed\nveterans with a disability worked for the federal government, compared with 7 percent\nof veterans with no disability and 2 percent of nonveterans. (See table 8.)\nReserve and National Guard Membership\nIn August 2017, about one-third of Gulf War-era veterans (August 1990 to present) were\ncurrent or past members of the Reserve or National Guard. Labor force participation\nrates were higher for veterans who were current or past members of the Reserve or\nNational Guard (82.4 percent), compared with veterans who were never members (79.4\npercent). Among Gulf War-era veterans, those who were current or past members of the\nReserve or National Guard had a lower unemployment rate than those who had never been\nmembers (2.5 percent and 4.5 percent, respectively). (See table 9.)\n|                Adjustments to Veteran Population Estimates                  |\n|Effective with data for November 2017, estimates for veterans incorporate    |\n|population controls derived from an updated Department of Veterans Affairs   |\n|population model.

Gulf War-era II veterans served on active duty anywhere in the world sometime since September 2001. Nonveterans never served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces.\nThe data in this release were collected through the Current Population Survey\n(CPS). The CPS--a monthly survey of about 60,000 eligible households conducted by\nthe U.S. Census Bureau for the Bureau of Labor Statistics--obtains information\non employment and unemployment among the nation's civilian noninstitutional\npopulation age 16 and over.\nMost of the data in this release are annual averages for 2017, compiled from the\nresults of the monthly survey. In August 2017, a supplement to the CPS collected\nadditional information about veterans on topics such as service-connected disability,\nveterans' Reserve or National Guard status, and veterans who served in Iraq and/or\nAfghanistan. The supplement was co-sponsored by the U.S. Department of Veterans\nAffairs and by the U.S. Department of Labor's Veterans' Employment and Training\nService. Questions were asked of persons 17 years of age and older regarding their\nprior service in the U.S. Armed Forces. Data are tabulated for persons 18 years of\nage and older.\nThe definitions underlying the data in this release are as follows:\nVeterans are men and women who previously served on active duty in the U.S.\nArmed Forces and who were civilians at the time they were surveyed. Members of\nthe Reserve and National Guard are counted as veterans if they had ever been\ncalled  to active duty. Persons who are on active duty at the time of the survey\nare outside the scope of the survey and thus not in the estimates shown here, as\nare persons who reside in institutions, such as nursing homes and prisons.\nNonveterans are men and women who never served on active duty in the U.S.\nWorld War II, Korean War, Vietnam-era, and Gulf War-era veterans are men and\nwomen who served in the U.S. Armed Forces during these periods of service,\nregardless of where in the world they served. Veterans who served in more than\none wartime period are classified in the most recent one.\nVeterans of other service periods are men and women who served in the U.S. Armed\nForces at any time other than World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam era, or\nthe Gulf War era. Although U.S. Armed Forces were engaged in several armed conflicts\nduring other service periods, these conflicts were more limited in scope and included\na smaller proportion of the Armed Forces than the selected wartime periods. Veterans\nwho served during one of the selected wartime periods and during another period are\nclassified in the wartime period.\nVeteran status is obtained from responses to the question, \"Did you ever serve\non active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces?\"\nPeriod of service identifies when a veteran served in the Armed Forces, but\nnot the location of their service. It is obtained from answers to the question\nasked of veterans, \"When did you serve on active duty in the  U.S. Armed Forces?\"\nThe following service periods are identified:\nGulf War era II -- September 2001-present\nGulf War era I  -- August 1990-August 2001\nVietnam era     -- August 1964-April 1975\nKorean War      -- July 1950-January 1955\nWorld War II    -- December 1941-December 1946\nOther service periods -- All other time periods\nVeterans could have served anywhere in the world during these periods of service.\nVeterans are counted only in one period of service, their most recent wartime period.\nVeterans who served in more than one wartime period are classified in the most recent\none. Veterans who served in both a wartime period and any other service period are\nclassified in the wartime period. The period-of-service definitions are modified\noccasionally to reflect changes in law, regulations, and program needs of the survey\nVeterans who served in Iraq, Afghanistan, or both are individuals who served in\nIraq at any time since March 2003, in Afghanistan at any time since October 2001,\nor in both locations. Service in Iraq or Afghanistan is determined by answers to\ntwo questions: \"Did you serve in Iraq, off the coast of Iraq, or did you fly missions\nover Iraq at any time since March 2003?\" and \"Did you serve in Afghanistan, or\ndid you fly missions over Afghanistan, at any time since October 2001?\"\nPresence of service-connected disability is determined by answers to the question,\n\"Has the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) or Department of Defense (DoD) determined\nthat you have a service-connected disability, that is, a health condition or\nimpairment caused or made worse by any of your military service?\"\nService-connected disability rating is based on answers to the question, \"What\nis your current service-connected disability rating?\" Answers can range from 0 to\n100 percent, in increments of 10 percentage points. Ratings are determined by the\nVA or DoD from a rating schedule published in the Code of Federal Regulations,\nTitle 38, \"Pensions, Bonuses, and Veterans' Relief,\" Part 4--\"Schedule for Rating\nDisabilities.\" The rating schedule is \"primarily a guide in the evaluation of\ndisability resulting from all types of diseases and injuries encountered as a result\nof or incident to military service. The percentage ratings represent as far as can\npracticably be determined the average impairment in earning capacity resulting from\nsuch diseases and injuries and their residual conditions in civil occupations.\"\nPart 4 contains a listing of hundreds of possible disorders and assigns ratings of\n0 through 100 percent, with instructions for rating multiple disorders.\nReserve and National Guard membership refers only to Gulf War-era veterans who are\ncurrent or past members of the Reserve or National Guard. Members of the Reserve and\nNational Guard are counted as veterans if they had ever been called to active duty.\nThese data do not refer to all persons who may have ever served in the Reserve or\nNational Guard. Reserve or National Guard status is obtained from answers to two\nquestions. Gulf War-era veterans were asked: \"Was any of your active service the\nresult of a call-up from the Reserve or National Guard?\" If the answer was no, they\nwere  asked, \"Have you ever been a member of the Reserve or National Guard?\" A 'yes'\nresponse to either question classified persons as \"Current or past member of the\nReserve or National Guard.\" A 'no' response to the latter question classified\npersons as \"Never a member of the Reserve or National Guard.\"\nthe sample estimates will differ from the true population values they represent. The\nThere is about a 90-percent chance, or level of confidence, that an estimate based on\na sample will differ by no more than 1.6 standard errors from the true population\nvalue because of sampling error. BLS analyses are generally conducted at the 90-percent\nlevel of confidence.\nfor many reasons, including the failure to sample a segment of the population, the\ninability to obtain information for all respondents in the sample, the inability or\nunwillingness of respondents to provide correct information, and errors made in the\ncollection or processing of the data.\nInformation about the reliability of national data from the CPS and estimating\nFor a discussion of the reliability of state estimates from the CPS, such as those\nin tables 6A and 6B of this release, see www.bls.gov/opub/gp/gpapndb.htm.\nComparability of estimates\nBeginning with data for August 2015, estimates from the veterans supplement shown\nin tables 7 through 10 of this release reflect a change in the weighting methodology.\nAs a result of this change, for August 2015 and later years, the estimates of the\nnumber of veterans with a service-connected disability, veteran Reserve or National\nGuard members, and veterans who served in Iraq or Afghanistan were higher than in\nprevious years. The supplement data presented in this release are not strictly\ncomparable with data for years before 2015 due to the change.

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb Headlines \u00bb Carrs Silver at Bonds the Jewellers\nPosted on 05 February 2018 |\nAt Bonds, we\u2019re delighted to have a large range of Carrs Silver photograph frames and gifts in our silverware collection. We\u2019ve been stockists for Carrs for a few years now, and some of our best-selling lines come from their Sheffield workshops.\nHere\u2019s a bit more about these renowned family-run silversmiths and the beautiful silver items they create.\nSilver in Sheffield\nCarrs is based in Sheffield in South Yorkshire, a city with long associations with the silver industry. The \u201cSheffield Century\u201d started in the mid seventeenth century, when \u201cSheffield Plate\u201d (silver fused onto copper) was invented. Sterling silver continued to be produced, and the Sheffield Assay Office was established in 1773.\nWhen sterling silver started to be taxed in 1784, the plate industry really took off and Sheffield prospered. Electroplating was introduced in the 1840s, which damaged the Sheffield Plate industry (although the invention of stainless steel in the early twentieth century enlivened Sheffield\u2019s industry again). Carrs, established in 1976, is part of the recent resurgence of silver in the city.\nAbout Carrs\nCarrs began when founder Ron Carr, a former production engineer, set up as a self-employed jeweller. The business developed, and appropriately, the company was incorporated in the Silver Jubilee year of 1977. Carrs grew rapidly, and two years later they began making their first silver photo frames.\nLess than twenty years later, Carrs had concessions in Harrods and Selfridges, and the company was selling silverware to retailers in over 50 countries. The silver photo frames became their flagship product.\nThe iconic photo frame\nA photograph frame is a timeless gift. Even in these days of digital photos, cloud libraries and selfies, everyone still loves to frame their favourite pictures and display them around their home.\nWe stock a range of Carrs photo frames in both sterling silver, hallmarked in the Sheffield Assay Office, and silver plate. Some of the most-loved designs are the traditional ones: egg and bead (a series of delicate little dots and ovals), reed and ribbon (a pattern of alternating lines and bows) and the classic rope edge. However, if you\u2019re looking for a more contemporary style, Carrs also have a beautiful selection of simple, sleek finishes.\nSilver gifts from Carrs\nCarrs design and make a wide range of silver gifts, which are popular with our customers for a variety of celebratory occasions.\nThe tradition of giving silver as a christening present dates from the days when silver was a currency, and was seen as an investment for the new baby. Today we give silver to young babies because we want to give a lasting gift, and examples include silver rattles, teethers and egg cups. Silver gifts are also given at religious celebrations: for example, Carrs makes silver cross-embossed bibles as baptism, confirmation or ordination gifts.\nSomething like a silver decanter, picture frame, or clock is perfect to mark a silver wedding anniversary; and the modern look of polished silver means that these items can also make great engagement or wedding presents for a younger couple. More personal silverware gifts include jewellery, cufflinks, keepsake boxes, and bookmarks.\nHave a look at our Carrs collection\nWe stock a wide range of quality silverware by Carrs. Have a look at the selection on our website; and if you\u2019d like to know anything more about our silver collection, please get in touch with us at Bonds.",

THE PRISONER OF HEAVEN returns to the world of the Cemetery of Forgotten Books and the Sempere & Sons bookshop. It begins just before Christmas in Barcelona in 1957, one year after Daniel and Bea from THE SHADOW OF THE WIND have married. They now have a son, Julian, and are living with Daniel's father at Sempere & Sons. Fermin still works with them and is busy preparing for his wedding to Bernarda in the New Year. However something appears to be bothering him. Daniel is alone in the shop one morning when a mysterious figure with a pronounced limp enters. He spots one of their most precious volumes that is kept locked in a glass cabinet, a beautiful and unique illustrated edition of The Count of Monte Cristo. Despite the fact that the stranger seems to care little for books, he wants to buy this expensive edition. Then, to Daniel's surprise, the man inscribes the book with the words 'To Fermin Romero de Torres, who came back from the dead and who holds the key to the future'. This visit leads back to a story of imprisonment, betrayal and the return of a deadly rival.\nImprint WEIDENFELD & NICOLSON\nZafon combines sincere engagement with genre tradition, with clever touches of the literary post-modern...This is explicitly, and joyously, a book about books, about what can be learned from them , and what is lost when they are lost. -- Steven Poole THE GUARDIAN 20120630 The Prisoner of Heaven is the third part of the story and, like the first, is narrated by Daniel Sempere. But it too contains stories within stories, and the real narrative here belings to the irrpressible Fermin Romero de Torress...Zafon's characters and dialogue are as lively and full-blooded as ever. -- Stephanie Merritt THE OBSERVER 20120708\nCarlos Ruiz Zafon is the author of six novels, including the international phenomenon The Shadow of the Wind, and The Angel's Game. His work has been published in more than forty different languages, and honoured with numerous international awards. He divides his time between Barcelona, Spain, and Los Angeles, California.",

        "raw_content": "Sexual assault testimony in the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing triggers trauma, reports\nDemonstrators protested against Judge Brett Kavanaugh&apos;s nomination.\nBy Stephanie Ebbert Globe Staff September 29, 2018\nThe political became personal for many this week, as Christine Blasey Ford\u2019s testimony of sexual assault reopened old wounds for other victims \u2014 including two women who dramatically confronted a key US senator Friday in a Capitol elevator.\nThe two pressed Senator Jeff Flake, an Arizona Republican who sits on the Senate Judiciary Committee, about the message he\u2019d be sending victims like themselves if he voted to confirm Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh after hearing Ford\u2019s claim that he sexually assaulted her.\n\u201cYou\u2019re telling me that my assault doesn\u2019t matter, that what happened to me doesn\u2019t matter!\u201d Maria Gallagher told Flake.\nA visibly shaken Flake later called for the Senate to delay the Kavanaugh confirmation vote by a week to allow for an FBI investigation.\nThe exchange, captured live on CNN, was one of many to illustrate the profound effect Ford\u2019s testimony is having on victims of sexual assault, as they speak out \u2014 often angrily \u2014 about still not being heard or believed.\nA Seattle woman took to Twitter to accuse a state senator, by name, of raping her 11 years earlier. \u201cIf it\u2019s bad that Blasey Ford waited to raise this until Kavanaugh got to the highest levels of government, then maybe the rest of us shouldn\u2019t sit on our secrets just crossing our fingers that they won\u2019t come into more power,\u201d she wrote. The senator denied the allegation.\nThe National Sexual Assault Hotline saw a 201 percent increase in calls on Thursday, said Sara McGovern, press secretary for RAINN (the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network), the nation\u2019s largest anti-sexual-violence organization.\n\u201cWe often see an uptick when sexual assault is in the news,\u201d McGovern said in an e-mail. Last weekend\u2019s calls were up 57 percent over the average Friday to Sunday, she said. And since Ford went public with her allegations, the hotline has seen 46 percent more calls compared with the same time period in 2017, she said.\nCalls to the Boston Area Rape Crisis Center\u2019s hotline were up about 50 percent Thursday and Friday, said executive director Gina Scaramella. By 11 a.m. Friday, the hotline had logged as many calls as it would in an average full day.\nNot all callers are victims; some are family members or even nurses and guidance counselors looking for tips on how to support those they know who have been attacked. And more women than usual are asking: \u201cI waited a long time to report. Are people going to judge me?\u201d\nSome doubted Ford\u2019s story because she had not previously reported the assault, which she said happened in the 1980s. But in the wake of her revelation, other survivors with long-buried stories began divulging their secrets for the first time.\nAna Maria Archila, the second woman who confronted Flake, told The New York Times that she\u2019d never before told her parents of her assault, at 5 years old. \u201cIt was Dr. Ford\u2019s story that allowed me to tell this secret to my parents,\u201d she said.\nTwo aspects to the hearing were particularly distressing to survivors, said Scaramella. First, that Kavanaugh, with his indignant assertion that he was being falsely accused by a liberal conspiracy, became the victim.\nSecond, she said, was the fear that Ford\u2019s testimony would not matter because the sides were so politically dug in and Kavanaugh\u2019s confirmation seemed a foregone conclusion. That sense was sharpened because Ford has a country-club upbringing and an academic pedigree, said Scaramella. \u201cThat\u2019s profoundly chilling to survivors because most people have a lot of shame and doubt about everything and have a hard time . . . talking about what happened,\u201d she said. \u201cTo see her going through all that with all the resources she has and still, it doesn\u2019t matter?\u201d\nThat may have changed on Friday, though, after Flake\u2019s encounter with the two women in the Capitol. Flake, considered one of a handful of swing votes on the confirmation, had said early in the day that he would vote for Kavanaugh. But by the time of the committee vote, he made clear he would not follow up with support of Kavanaugh on the floor of the Senate unless the committee requested an FBI investigation into the allegations raised against the nominee.\nMany Senate Republicans had been arguing, like Kavanaugh himself, that the late-breaking allegation is a political maneuver by desperate Democrats who withheld Ford\u2019s allegation until a vote was imminent for maximum effect. But women\u2019s advocates have focused on the personal \u2014 emphasizing the impact that Ford alleges Kavanaugh had on her life, and the message that would be sent if the Senate dismisses her.\nBy day\u2019s end, Republicans had acquiesced to the FBI investigation they had resisted throughout the hearing and President Trump had endorsed it.\nExpect many more impassioned pleas from women and victims in the week ahead. Saturday in Washington, D.C., women are converging for the March for Black Women and the March for Survivors \u2014 events that had already been planned and whose featured speakers, by video, include the founder of the #MeToo movement, Tarana Burke, and the woman who last testified to the Judiciary Committee about alleged sexual misconduct by a Supreme Court nominee, Anita Hill.\nAmong the fights they will take up is a push for reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, which expires Sunday (though a continuing resolution will extend funding through Dec. 7).\nEnacted in 1994, the Violence Against Women Act funds social service programs for victims of sexual assault and domestic violence and led to the creation of the National Domestic Violence Hotline. It has been reauthorized in 2000, 2005, and 2013 and expanded to cover dating violence and stalking, provide legal assistance to victims, and direct federal funding to rape crisis centers.\nIn the runup to the midterm elections, Senate Republican leaders had been negotiating with the National Task Force to End Sexual and Domestic Violence, a group that includes civil rights organizations and advocates, about the terms of the reauthorization bill. But those talks broke down due to the committee\u2019s handling of Ford\u2019s allegation, the group said in a recent letter, which cited \u201cgrave concerns\u201d for the way Ford was being treated, even before the hearing.\n\u201cSenate Republicans cannot profess to be an ardent supporter of the VAWA and then turn around and mistreat survivors of sexual and domestic violence in the way that we have witnessed the treatment of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and the additional survivors who have come forward to tell their stories,\u201d said Lisalyn R. Jacobs, the director of victims\u2019 services and policy for the National Center for Victims of Crime. \u201cWe do not want to be window dressing. We don\u2019t want to be used. And we don\u2019t want to be engaged in discussions with people where we have to hold our nose and ignore what we hear them saying in the press about survivors.\u201d\nStephanie Ebbert can be reached at Stephanie.Ebbert\n@globe.com.

        "raw_content": "The MPP is an intensive full-time programme of study and can be a significant financial commitment; you will need to budget for the course fee and living expenses.\nMany candidates who are offered a place will require some form of outside financial assistance. We are committed to ensuring that the financial burden of undertaking the MPP does not discourage the brightest and best applicants from applying to our programmes. We also expect all applicants in need of financial assistance to start exploring all funding opportunities available to them as early as possible.\nYou will find a range of funding opportunities below, but we encourage you to be creative in your search for funding.\nThere are two types of expense to budget for when calculating the cost of graduate study - the course fee and living costs.\nAnnual fees for entry in 2019/20\nAnnual course fee\nFurther details on the course fee can be found on the Graduate Admissions pages under 'Funding and Costs'. Course fees cover your teaching, and other academic services and facilities provided to support your studies. They do not cover your accommodation or other living costs (see living costs below). You may have seen separate figures in the past for tuition fees and college fees. We have now combined these into a single figure.\nThe 2019/20 estimated living costs for a graduate student at Oxford can be found on the University living costs pages.\nThere may also be costs associated with the Summer Project, depending on the type and location of the placement.\nPlease note that due to the intensive nature of the MPP programme, we encourage students not to take on any work commitments outside the course, so your budget should take this into account.\nWe expect all applicants in need of financial aid to explore all funding opportunities available to them, including through their own governments, private sponsorship, and scholarship or bursary opportunities. You should investigate all possible funding routes available to you as early as possible. In fact, some scholarship schemes have deadlines before the MPP application deadline, so make sure you check.\nFunding from the University\nMany of our students have been successful in receiving University Scholarships such as Clarendon, Weidenfeld Hoffman, and Jardine awards. You will automatically be considered for the majority of University scholarships for which you are eligible.\nFunding from the School\nWe are very grateful to the many different donors who make it possible for us to offer a variety of scholarships and financial awards. However, please note the Blavatnik School\u2019s funding is limited and you should not rely on it as a main source of financial support. In order to be considered for awards managed by the Blavatnik School, if you are successful in getting a place, you will be required to complete and submit a Scholarship Questionnaire, usually within a week of receiving your offer of a place. We do not follow other schools in collecting this information at the point of application as it is important to us that we credibly signal that this does not influence our admissions process.\nThere are many different external scholarship or funding schemes available to students, with a diverse variety of eligibility requirements. We are proud to say that each year a significant number of our MPP students are successful in applying to some form of external scholarship or financial award.\nMany students also consider funding their studies, in part, through financial loans. The School has an arrangement to provide students with access to loans through loan provider Prodigy Finance, which we recommend students investigate alongside other options if they are considering taking out a loan.\nBelow you will find a list of resources that will help you navigate your fundraising journey. In addition, the Blavatnik School blog features some posts and experiences that might help or inspire your search for the right financial support.\nScholarships in detail\nThe University of Oxford offers a mixture of scholarships and awards, with a range of eligibility criteria often including the applicant\u2019s country of origin.

Prior to 2013, the role of law enforcement was primarily to close roads, though some officers were stationed at the start and finish lines.\nNow, Delaney said officers are present throughout the course. Bomb-sniffing dogs sweep the area prior to the event, and spectators are asked not to bring backpacks.\nThe marathon is one of the two busiest days of the year for the Burlington Police Department, said Chief Brandon del Pozo.\nThe city calls on several other agencies, including local sheriffs and federal entities like Department of Homeland Security agents usually stationed at the airport. Homeland security agents lend their dogs, the chief said.\n\"The challenge of a marathon is there's thousands of people,\" he said.\nDel Pozo said he's received no intelligence that would indicate there's any particular threat against this year's marathon. But he recommends people at the event agree on place to meet up in case of an emergency.\nRead or Share this story: http://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/story/news/2017/05/24/chief-no-particular-threats-marathon/340778001/",

Five years after first entering rehab in 2008 for alcohol-related issues, and four years after appearing on the third season of Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew, Dennis Rodman has checked into rehab once again. According to the athlete's agent, though the location of his rehab has not been released, Rodman is seeking treatment for his struggle with alcohol.\nRodman's return to rehab comes after the athlete made controversial comments about ailing U.S. detainee Kenneth Bae, and after he serenaded North Korea's Kim Jong Un with a rendition of \"Happy Birthday.\" According to reports, Rodman's recent trip overseas also included \u201cspecialized personal entertainments of the female persuasion\" supplied by Kim Jong Un.\nSaid Rodman's agent, Darren Prince, about the athlete's decision to seek treatment:\nWhat was potentially a historic and monumental event turned into a nightmare for everyone concerned. Dennis Rodman came back from North Korea in pretty rough shape emotionally. The pressure that was put on him to be a combination \"super human\" political figure and \"fixer\" got the better of him. He is embarrassed, saddened and remorseful for the anger and hurt his words have caused.\nWhat does this mean for Rodman's relationship with Kim Jong Un? Unclear, but the basketball player had gotten so close to the North Korean dictator, that he'd even fielded an offer to write a book with Kim Jong Un. But it seems, before he makes any decision about future projects, Rodman has to get his own story back on track.",

        "raw_content": "Washiqur Rahman, A Secular Bangladeshi Blogger, Was Murdered, The Second Such Incident In 2 Months\nAnother horrific machete incident took place on the streets of Dhaka on Monday, after another Bangladeshi blogger was murdered for comments on Islam that he allegedly made online. Three knife-wielding assailants targeted Washiqur Rahman, hacking the 27-year-old to death near his home on Monday morning.\nPolice detained two suspects \u2014 madrasa students in Dhaka and Chittagong respectively \u2014 and retrieved three knives at the scene of the crime. A third suspect escaped. Deputy commissioner Wahidul Islam told AFP that Rahman was \"brutally hacked to death.\"\nAccording to The New York Times, the two suspects told investigators that an acquaintance had ordered them to kill Rahman because of \"some comments against Islam\u201d that he made on social media. However, they reportedly did not read the comments themselves. AFP reported that police said Rahman's blog did not appear to center on religion, though fellow writers said he opposed religious fundamentalism. His friend Tamanna Setu told The Guardian that Rahman's atheism advocacy was connected to his murder.\nHe used to write a satirical column on Facebook about against believers. He was an atheist. His killing has to be connected to his writing.\nMUNIR UZ ZAMAN/AFP/Getty Images\nThe incident is the second of its kind in just as many months, raising fears that religious extremists are singling out writers who criticize the religion and promote secular values in the developing Muslim-majority country. In late February, a prominent American-Bangladeshi blogger Avijit Roy was similarly hacked to death outside a book fair after he had received death threats from extremists. Roy's wife was also attacked, but survived, and has since returned to the U.S. where the couple lived.\nEarlier this month, a suspect, Farabi Shafiur Rahman, was arrested for Roy's murder. Rahman had allegedly issued death threats to the blogger on Facebook last year, writing: \"Avijit Roy lives in America. So it's not possible to kill him now. But when he returns home, he will be killed then.\" The Times reported that the two had engaged in a debate over religion over the Internet and the police said he should have asked for protection when he entered Bangladesh.\nRoy's murder sparked furious protests in Dhaka and abroad, with secular activists criticizing the government for not doing enough to protect them against religious extremists. Writing on Mukto Mona (Free Thinkers, in English), a website on freedom of expression that Roy also contributed to, blogger Farhana Ahmed offered a theory as to why atheists were targeted by religious extremists:\n[B]oth the Islamist hardliner and practicing Muslims are skeptical about atheists. Religion is very powerful, sometimes more than the state such as when the state has to accept the help of religion. If any of those establishments are in trouble, they take refuge in religion. ...\nReligion accomplishes this job by deploying instruments like blind faith, taking things for granted, and keeping people in fear. When patriarchal oppression is protested by women, religion keeps them in check. Workers cannot revolt against autocratic employers as religion reminds them that for those who have less in this world, there is an afterlife waiting for them. To remain in power, the simplest of weapons is religion.\nIn 2013, blogger Ahmed Rajib Haider, who wrote frequently about religious fundamentalism in Bangladesh, was also brutally murdered outside his home.",

        "raw_content": "The Powerful Reason Fitness Instagrammer Anna Victoria's Relaxed Selfie Is Going Viral\nAndrew Zaeh/Bustle\nScrolling through the flawless Instagram profiles of social media fitness stars can put a person\u2019s self-esteem to the test \u2014 but these stars themselves are often conscious of the disconnect between how things appear on social media and how they actually are. That's why fitness Instagrammer Anna Victoria's recent post is going viral \u2014 it's a reminder that real life is, well, real life.\n.The workout guru, who lives in Los Angeles, posted a relaxed no-makeup selfie with undone hair in response to an email she received from a 16-year-old fan. The girl wrote that seeing endless perfect photos had made her insecure about her own body, but of all of the fitness experts she followed, Anna Victoria was the only one that made her feel good about herself. \u201cFor me, that was huge. Not because I felt like I was the best fitness person to follow, but because I think it's indicative of what's going on in the fitness industry,\u201d Anna Victoria tells Bustle in an email. \u201cI don't think other trainers or fitness models aren't inspiring or motivating, they absolutely are, but there is a shift going on where people are asking for transparency and not as many are giving it.\u201d Anna Victoria, who has consistently given her followers a dose of reality along with the enviable gym selfies, knew she had to speak up.\nOn Dec. 19, she posted the selfie and gave her reasoning behind the pic in a powerful caption. \"The impact social media has on young girls and their self-esteem is an issue I feel very strongly about,\" Anna Victoria wrote. \"And if me posting one casual, non-posing, non-done up photo can help a young girl (or man, or anyone of any age!) feel better about themselves, then I'm happy to put myself out there.\"\nIn just 24 hours, her post racked up 500 comments and 20,000 likes, proving that social media can be a powerful tool for spreading positivity. What's more, this is certainly not the first time that Anna Victoria has shared a \"real\" picture on Instagram. In the past, the fitness star has been open about bloating, or the times when she has not projected her absolute best self (she's a real human, people!). \u201cBody positivity plays a huge role in my life and in my Instagram. Loving yourself, no matter what part of your journey you're in, is more important than words can describe,\" Anna Victoria tells Bustle.\nThe Insta star was not always focussed on health and wellness. She battled health and digestive problems in her early 20s, and found the only way to ease her symptoms was through changing her lifestyle. Like so many young women, in 2012 she turned to Instagram to help her on her journey. \u201cI decided to make an Instagram account where I would post new things I learned and things that motivated me in an effort to bombard myself with as much positive thinking and inspiration, possible,\u201d Anna Victoria tells Bustle. \u201cI felt a great deal of support from those also on their journey and I was able to connect with others struggling with the same things I was.\u201d\nAnna Victoria's advice to those who want to feel better about themselves is to try not to focus on the surface end goals, such as a flat stomach. Instead, she advises to make health the priority and view whatever physical changes happen as the bonus. \"My advice to young women for how to lead their healthiest life is first to know that they deserve to love themselves, just as they are. Then, taking the next step in self-love is to take care of their body and health,\" Anna Victoria tells Bustle.",

        "raw_content": "Meet The Camo-Clad, Gonzo Bloggers Behind The Fast And Furious Story\nThe most high-profile scandal of the Obama presidency has its roots in reporting by two conservative gun rights bloggers. \"I don't want this to be a partisan football \u2014 I want this to be an American issue,\" says Codrea.\nRebecca Elliott BuzzFeed Contributor\nPhotos courtesy of Mike Vanderboegh and David Codrea. Art by John Gara.\nLast Thursday, the House of Representatives voted 255-67 to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress for his refusal to turn over documents related to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms' \"Fast and Furious\" operation. It was the biggest twist yet in a story that has its roots in the relationship between disgruntled ATF agents and two conservative bloggers from Alabama and Ohio better known for stirring controversy than for breaking news.\nMike Vanderboegh and David Codrea are rarely mentioned in connection with what is perhaps the highest-profile law-enforcement failure of the Obama Administration. Their central role in unearthing the story, though, is a classic example of the kind of new media cycle in which news bubbles up from outlets few traditional reporters read or would even feel comfortable crediting. Before their first report on the story on December 28, 2010, Vanderboegh of \u201cSipsey Street Irregulars\u201d and Codrea of examiner.com were gun-rights activists who curated small bands of loyal followers with a live-free-or-die ethos. (A few days before publishing the post that set the investigation of Fast and Furious in motion, for example, Vanderboegh wrote about a TSA parody video called \u201cGrandma Got Molested at the Airport\u201d.)\n\"It has been,\" said Vanderboegh, \"the fight of my life.\"\nVanderboegh was at his suburban home in Jefferson County, Ala. when he saw allegations that Border Patrol agent Brian Terry had been killed by U.S.-smuggled weapons on a site called cleanupatf.org. \u201cAppears that ATF may be one of the largest suppliers of assault rifles to the Mexican cartels! One of these rifles is rumored to have been linked to the recent killing of a Border Patrol Officer in Nogales, Ariz. Can anyone confirm this information?\u201d\nVanderboegh quickly put the allegation up on \u201cSipsey Street Irregulars.\u201d Sipsey Street, Vanderboegh's personal blog, is largely dedicated to advocating for second amendment rights, as well as denouncing most forms of progressive politics. That's where Codrea saw it; he and Vanderboegh had met each other a few years ago through their common interest in gun rights activism and began collaborating on covering the story they nicknamed \u201cProject Gunwalker.\u201d\n\u201cI think that within the first week things started to really come together. We were getting corroboration, and we were getting different people talking to us,\u201d Codrea said. Vanderboegh and Codrea had cultivated relationships with ATF agents over the years, having gained a reputation within the community for covering ATF scandal stories.\nCodrea said he was skeptical about what his sources at the ATF were sharing. \u201cI still was not sure that there couldn\u2019t be disinformation involved,\u201d Codrea said. \u201cIf you come out with something that makes you look like an idiot, your reputation is going to be destroyed. You\u2019re not going to put your credibility out there and have it shredded. So you do your best due diligence.\u201d\nAfter hearing the story from enough sources that they thought it credible, Codrea and Vanderboegh each wrote about the subject daily. They posted new information from their sources, timelines of their discoveries, how members of the Senate and Congress were getting involved, who had begun paying attention to the scandal. Vanderboegh and Codrea wrote with an angle \u2014 they were convinced early on that the ATF definitively in the wrong, and they thought this story was big.\nBut though the scandal circulated in certain conservative circles \u2014 World Net Daily, a conservative news site perhaps best known for conspiracy theories about president Obama's birth, picked up the story in late January \u2014 Vanderboegh and Codrea struggled to have it taken seriously by a wider audience.\nThis hesitancy on the behalf of the wider populace was, in part, due to the reputations the bloggers had created for themselves. In 2010 Vanderboegh suggested that people should break the windows of congressional representatives who planned on voting for the Affordable Care Act. Outrage ensued; New York Democratic party officials suggested he be arrested.\nVanderboegh now describes himself, with some pride, as \u201cnotorious.\u201d He was \u201cBorn in Michigan, raised in Ohio amongst the heathen Buckeye, and refuged out of there in 1985 to Alabama \u2014 fleeing my ex-wife, the Wicked Witch of the North.\u201d He wrote for his high school and college newspapers, but was never formally trained in journalism.\nVanderboegh wasn\u2019t always a hard-line conservative activist either. In 1967, he joined the anti-war movement, participating in organizations such as Students for a Democratic Society and the Socialist Workers Party. He calls it his \u201cBenedict Arnold Period.\u201d\n\u201cMostly I was a product of the times and the fact that most teenagers have excrement for brains,\u201d Vanderboegh said. \u201cI joined the anti-war movement because I didn't yet have the discernment to know crap from breakfast and my father pissed me off.\u201d\nThere were some unanticipated upsides to Vanderboegh\u2019s liberalism, he now says. \u201cAt least beign a Maoist was good small arms training. You may remember that butcher\u2019s famous dictum about political power,\u201d Vanderboegh said. \u201cPolitical power grows out of the barrel of a gun.\u201d\nVanderboegh now carries a .45 caliber semiautomatic pistol, and he does not shy away from conflict, as evidenced by the \u201cContact Us\u201d section of \u201cSipsey Street Irregulars.\u201d\n\u201cPoisoned fruit, anthrax powder, letter bombs, Christmas cards and stacks of small bills may be forwarded to: P.O. Box 926, Pinson, AL 35126,\u201d the blurb reads. It continues, \u201cPlease note that death threats via telephone on a line under federal court-ordered wiretap are perfectly fine with me and quite entertaining, but rather stupid.\u201d (Buzzfeed followed up with Vanderboegh about whether wiretap reference was meant seriously, and he responded, \"taps come and go, some official, some not.\" He also detailed some of the threats he's received \u2014 Easter 2010 brought the FBI and HAZMAT to his door after Vanderboegh received a holiday card filled with powder.)\nCodrea\u2019s online personality is decidedly less divisive than Vanderboegh\u2019s. Though he focuses on gun rights, he says considers himself primarily an advocate for freedom.\n\u201cWhat I write about isn\u2019t so much guns. Guns are just the perfect platform to build arguments around,\u201d Codrea said. \u201cSome people tell me they get writers block. I have no idea what that means,\u201d Codrea said, laughing. \u201cI always have dozens of things to write about.\u201d\nThrough the Fast and Furious scandal has been picked up primarily by conservative members of both the media and Congress, Codrea insists that he does his best to be nonpartisan. \u201cI don\u2019t spare Republicans criticism when I feel that they merit criticism, and sometimes brutal criticism,\u201d Codrea said. \u201cI don\u2019t spare the NRA management criticism,\u201d he added. In November 2011 Codrea criticized Mitt Romney as an unacceptable Republican presidential candidate because of a comment he made in July of that year that \"Deadly assault weapons have no place in Massachusetts.\u201d\n\u201cI have no idea whether Brian Terry was a Republican or a Democrat, and I don\u2019t care,\u201d Codrea said. \u201cI don\u2019t know that Brian Terry would have liked me personally, because I\u2019m kind of an anti-authoritarian smartass. But that doesn\u2019t matter either. The guy died in the service of the country\u2014his family deserves answers.\"\nWhen other media outlets did begin covering the story, Vanderboegh and Codrea were thrilled. \u201cWe were ecstatic at that point that some \u2018real journalists\u2019 were finally paying attention,\u201d Vanderboegh said. \u201cFace it, neither one of us is a news bureau,\u201d Codrea said. \u201cWe don\u2019t have research staffs and things like that.\u201d CBS\u2019s Sharyl Attkisson was the first mainstream journalist to cover the story when she reported on what was then called the Project Gunrunner scandal. This two months after Vanderboegh\u2019s first blog post; the New York Times picked the story up in June of 2011.\nOne of the reasons they were pleased with mainstream media attention and the subsequent Congressional investigations, they say, is that the increased attention ensured safety for their sources. \u201cUntil we finally got the attention of Senators Sessions and then Grassley, these guys were out there twisting in the wind, viewed as traitors by their own agency, with no whistleblower status to protect them. Understand, there was a very real threat that they might be killed,\u201d Vanderboegh said.\nThat being said, Codrea has been dissatisfied with how Fast and Furious has turned into a mechanism for partisan point scoring, with Republicans interested primarily in doing damage to the Obama Administration, and Democrats labeling it as irrelevant. From Codrea's perspective, both politicians and the media have lost sight of the core issue at hand: discovering the truth about Terry's death.\n\"I don\u2019t care where this leads except to the truth,\" Codrea said.\n\u201cWe'll find out if the whistleblowers were wrong when Eric Holder turns over the documents. Until then, we are awaiting more data,\u201d Vanderboegh said.\n\u201cI don\u2019t want this to be a partisan football,\u201d Codrea insisted. \u201cI want this to be an American issue.\u201d\nContact Rebecca Elliott at rebecca.elliott@buzzfeed.com.",

It's not large or have a particularly fascinating pattern, but I found the picture set up pretty cool. I only wish my phone wasn't so obvious in the reflection. Still, the moth and its distinct image with the faded background is a nice capture, considering that the moth's intention is to actually fade into the background. It's color scheme meshes with the background but being by laying itself out on a glass window, it's distinction becomes much clearer. It makes me wonder if the moth sees color or if the moth might have seen the reflection of the green and browns behind it and thought it was a good place to land and hideout.",

        "raw_content": "During the latter half of the nineteenth century and the early years of the twentieth century, \u201cacclimatization gardens\u201d became popular in Tuscany; these were green areas dedicated to the conservation of various species of herbaceous plants, shrubs and trees of particular interest, mostly of exotic origin.\nAn acclimatization garden is difficult to create and maintain and calls for considerable economic effort; continuous passion is necessary to find the most suitable cultural solutions for the various species of plants which often come from widely differing countries, especially from an ecological point of view.\nSo it is easy to understand why newly created acclimatization gardens are so very rare.\nThe \u201cCala dei Peducelli\u201d Residence garden, set up in 1985, has been classified as an acclimatization garden and in view of the number of specimens on show (around 400 palm trees, agaves, succulents, cycads and Mediterranean scrubland plants), the care taken over their cultivation and lay-out, it undoubtedly follows in the footsteps of Elba\u2019s great tradition of acclimatization gardens.\nIt is located on a piece of land on Punta Morcone in the municipality of Capoliveri.\nThe owners\u2019 great passion for natural environments has led to their creating a collection on the Isle of Elba that is quite unique as regards both plants and landscape, thanks to the harmonious combination of buildings, ornamental elements and original decorative solutions which also include the addition of unusual terracing. The excellent position of the area and the mild climate have made it possible to collect together many exotic plants, especially succulents, cycads, palm trees and agaves.\nThe swimming pool is the garden\u2019s central feature: numerous varieties of tropical plants grow around the edge of the pool, among which many cycads, (plants defined as \u201cliving fossils\u201d due to their ancient origin), agaves, cactaceae etc...\nAnd as the eye roves from left to right it comes to rest on other species of cycads, like the Encephalartos, Dioon, Cacti, and Agaves, growing in the gently sloping terrain.\nThe real value of Cala dei Peducelli is that you can live in close contact with nature where rare and exotic specimens mingle with lush Mediterranean flora; but not only this, because only 300 metres away is our own private beach which can be reached after a pleasant walk along a little pathway, accompanied by a gentle breeze and the scent of rosemary. On arrival at the beach you will be delighted to find a centuries-old olive tree, symbol of Mediterranean flora, awaiting you.\nImmediate relaxation.\nOur beach is arranged in the same attentive way as the rest of the environment.\nA beach umbrella and two sun-beds await the occupants of each apartment.\nThis is the rendezvous area where our guests spend most of their day.\nIt is here that long-standing friendships are set up and will remain with you in just the same way as your happy memories of the little Residence Cala dei Peducelli beach, in a corner of Morcone beach, complete with every comfort.\nBars, restaurants, pizzeria, minimarket..\nAlso available: a diving centre, surf school and hire of rubber dinghies and pedal boats.",

        "raw_content": "Considering Brexit\nAlthough it is located several thousand miles \"across the pond,\" and despite the fact that its prominence on the world stage has gone from the undisputed leading character to a supporting role, there is no question that what happens in the United Kingdom in general - and England in particular - has significant impact on the rest of the world. Couple that with the fact that the British government is seeking to exit one of the world's largest and strongest trading groups - and that there is an increasingly likelihood that the departure will be haphazard at best - and you begin to understand why what happens in London definitely does not stay in London.\nOn June 23, 2016, voters in the United Kingdom decided by a narrow margin - 51.9 percent in favor to 48.1 percent against - to leave the European Union, sometimes referred to as the United States of Europe, a post-World War II initiative that has created one of the largest trading blocs in the world and is largely credited for having maintained peace in the seven decades since warfare ravaged the region.\nThe vote was not, however, universal throughout the UK, with England and Wales endorsing the departure, and Scotland and Northern Ireland rejecting it. The actual terms as to how the divorce proceedings would play out was left to future negotiations, negotiations which now, more than two-and-a-half years later, seem to remain contentious at best.\nAll of this came to a head last week when British Prime Minister Theresa May presented what she called the best possible deal for UK\u2019s departure, and promptly suffered what many have called the most devastating loss in history for a ruling British party; her plan for an orderly withdrawal from the European Union was soundly trounced in a Parliamentary vote by an almost two-to-one margin. In conceding the overwhelming defeat, May defiantly threw the issue right back into the faces of those who had rejected it, saying that she knew now what they did not want, but still had little idea as to what they do want.\nPerhaps the greatest irony of May\u2019s failed plan for a so-called soft exit from the EU lies in how much it unified lawmakers from across the political spectrum, with hardline pro-Brexit parliamentarians rejecting the proposal for its lack of better terms for the United Kingdom, and anti-Brexit leaders casting nay votes with the hope that it might force a second referendum on the issue, a prospect that has gathered steam in the ensuing days.\nAfter all, a no-deal withdrawal from the EU could throw the UK\u2019s trading arrangements, among other diplomatic matters, into complete chaos.\nFor their part, most of the EU\u2019s ministers have expressed their disappointment with the UK\u2019s departure, and have largely taken a hardline stance in terms of negotiations. After all, it is widely accepted that much of the fire behind the pro-Brexit vote was stoked by anti-immigration sentiment and a nationalistic fervor on par with that seen in the United States in the past few years; a misguided notion of making Britain great again, if you will.\nWhat the nationalists and isolationists seem to misunderstand, however, is that although they might yearn with warped nostalgia for a time when there was less diversity and when they could say and do as they pleased, simply wanting to return to these misnamed good old days does not make it so; that we are, for better and for worse, a global world. If one nation decides it no longer wants to play in the same sandbox as the rest of the world\u2019s countries, so be it; the world will keep spinning and the remaining countries will continue to work together.\nIt remains to be seen what the EU might accept in light of May\u2019s inability to get a measure passed. Most world economists understand that a disorderly break up could result in a devastating upheaval for the region, and that the still-tenuous, post-2008 financial crisis recovery could find itself tested in a manner that it has not faced in the 11 years since the global economy seemed to teeter on the brink of collapse.\nSuch economic waves would likely land on our own financial shores, although like so much else connected with Brexit, it is difficult to anticipate just how turbulent these repercussions could be. For despite being led by an administration that claims to put America first above all else, there is no argument that we live in an intricately and inextricably connected world. Something to consider as we gaze eastward across the pond.",

Since the beginning of the Future Leaders program we have discovered that the ideals of the industry\u2019s under 40s mirror those of current thinking, yet the thoughts and solutions created by this group also have different applications to recognised threats and weaknesses as we move towards 2030.\nThe Future Leaders Forum identified that we have a large group of committed and energetic leaders looking to get involved in the future direction of the industry. We believe this commitment and energy must be harnessed and encouraged for the industry to remain relevant and contemporary with the ideas of this group integrated into the thinking of industry.\nLast year we put out a call for nominations for the Future Leaders Committee and were excited with the diversely skilled and uniquely talent applicants we received to be part of the Future Leaders Committee. This is a true testament to the calibre of youth that we have progressing through the ranks of industry.\nThe Caravan Industry Association of Australia, together with the Future Leader Committee, decided it was time to go back to the drawing board and re-conceptualise the way the Committee exists, developing a pilot program \u2013 a series of \u2018Agile Project\u2019 teams. These will be led by current committee members to kick start some exciting activity and channel the youthful optimism and enthusiasm that shone so brightly from the industry conference into tangible outputs that will create a significant positive impact on the future of the industry.\nThe committee\u2019s vision is to \u2018attract, develop and retain current and future leaders and foster collaboration\u2019, with the Agile Project teams working towards making the vision a reality.\nThe teams include \u2018Innovation and Blue-Sky Thinking\u2019 led by Brad Hooper, \u2018Content Creation and Engagement\u2019 led by Kate Mitchell, \u2018Networking Events and Conference Concept\u2019 led by Tracey Clarke and \u2018Mentoring and Research\u2019 led by Stephen Edwards.\nFormer chairman Josh Carnavas and myself will be overseeing the process. We are excited and thrilled to offer the future leaders of our industry an opportunity to join and be part of the team that will drive new industry projects and initiatives.\nI would like to acknowledge all the applicants who nominated for the industry\u2019s Future Leaders Award and participated in the judging process. Congratulations to Margaret Shannon of Ballina Beach Village on taking home the 2018 Future Leaders Award.\nThe Future Leaders Forum highlighted the enormous amount of talented young leaders we have within our industry.\nI\u2019d like to encourage all our future leaders to step outside of their comfort zones occasionally; take the risks that seem worth taking for you to grow along with our fantastic industry.\n-Michael McIvor",

        "raw_content": "Pope Francis\u2019 message resonates on Canadian campuses\nOriana Bertucci, director of Catholic chaplaincy at Ryerson University, second from right, and Ryerson Catholics staff and students stand by their life-size cut out of Pope Francis during the Ryerson Students\u2019 Union clubs fair in September. Photo by Michael Chen\nTORONTO - Timothy Keslick believes Pope Francis\u2019s small gestures are making a big impact on Canada\u2019s university students.\n\u201cHe is a great way to start a conversation with those who are Catholic and have fallen away from the Church, people who are of a different Christian denomination or those who don\u2019t practise any faith at all,\u201d said Keslick, student president of the Catholic Chaplaincy at Toronto\u2019s York University.\nPre-Francis, Keslick said many students who would approach the chaplaincy\u2019s table during promotional events often had negative misconceptions about the Church.\n\u201cBut now, when they come up they say \u2018that Pope Francis guy seems pretty cool.\u2019 There seems to be a decrease in hostility.\u201d\nThe so-called \u201cFrancis effect\u201d is taking shape not only among the people in the pews, but also in the halls of higher education.\nOn the University of Ottawa campus, first-year student Stella Della Civita says since Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio became Pope Francis, she\u2019s noticed her non-Catholic peers have taken an interest in Catholicism and the Pope on social media. It\u2019s now common for her to post Pope Francis-related memes and news items, only to find out that the non-believers on her Facebook are already familiar with the content she\u2019s posting.\n\u201cThey know about it before me and they don\u2019t even follow the religion,\u201d she said.\nAs director of Catholic chaplaincy at Toronto\u2019s Ryerson University, Oriana Bertucci sees how students have taken to Pope Francis firsthand. The reaction to the chaplaincy\u2019s life-size cut out of the Pope has been particularly good.\n\u201cPeople know who he is and they recognize him, whether they see him on the cover of Time or Rolling Stone,\u201d said Bertucci. \u201cThere is an enthusiasm and an excitement.\u201d\nBertucci has also noticed that people who have strayed from the Church are now rekindling their relationship.\n\u201cThey are a little more confident to start a conversation because there\u2019s somebody who\u2019s making it exciting to talk about Church,\u201d she said.\nFrom Stephen Scharper\u2019s perspective as an associate professor of both religious studies and environmental studies at the University of Toronto, Francis has given students a chance to approach globalization and their critique of globalization through a different lens.\n\u201cHis first pastoral visit outside of Rome was Lampedusa where so many refugees are dying trying to get into Europe from North Africa,\u201d said Scharper. \u201cAnd he said that we\u2019ve forgotten how to cry (for migrants lost at sea). And I think for students the conversation is a little different now.\u201d\nWhereas they\u2019ve heard the socio-economic and political critique of globalization in the past, the Pope\u2019s strong words on this \u201cglobalization of indifference\u201d has allowed them to view it as a spiritual and moral issue.\n\u201cThey now have a new take, a compassionate, spiritual take\u2026 It cuts through so much rhetoric,\u201d said Scharper.\nBut it\u2019s not just Canadian campuses that are paying attention to the new pontiff. Scharper\u2019s son is currently attending Oberlin College in Ohio, a secular liberal arts college with a tradition of social justice.\n\u201cThe students there seem to be very interested in Pope Francis and they\u2019re finding that he\u2019s talking about issues that are very important to them: social justice, concern for the poor and the issue of the environment.\u201d\nFor Centennial College student Amanda Foster, she really feels that Pope Francis has connected with the younger generation, whether it\u2019s through seeing him interact with people on the streets or seeing him on magazine covers.\n\u201cHe\u2019s definitely going to bring a lot of youth back to the Church which we need because that population of the Church is really falling,\u201d said Foster.\nMore in this category: \u00ab Coffee to combat social justice apathy on campus\tOur Lady Seat of Wisdom taking next step \u00bb",

The first of these studies appeared in 1974, and during the next 5 years several follow up and case control studies were published. The relative risk estimates were not considered convincing. Two follow up studies were not conclusive; one of them found an excessive risk, but the other only detected the expected incidence rates. Three of eight studies published since 1980 reported an increased risk under certain conditions: use of high estrogen doses (1.25 milligrams or more of conjugated estrogens per day for 3 years or more), use in women who had undergone bilateral oophorectomy, or use of parenteral estrogen administration. The results of the other five studies were essentially negative. According to the author, the best estimates of the magnitude of the risk are between 0.9 and 1.5; these results were derived from large well designed case control studies. Several theories, which were discussed, have attempted to explain the role of estrogens in breast cancer occurrence. It is pointed out that laboratory experiments have demonstrated estrogen effects on breast tissue. The author concludes that this effect alone is a justification for placing estrogens on a list of suspected carcinogenic agents.\nEpidemiology; Risk-analysis; Biostatistics; Humans; Breast-cancer; Cancer-rates; Carcinogenicity; Estrogenic-hormones;\nProceedings of a Symposium on Epidemiology and Health Risk Assessment, Columbia, Maryland, May 14-16, 1985, Centers for Disease Control/NIOSH, 19 pages, 29 references",

        "raw_content": "Henry Hazlitt and the Art of Economics\nJournalist Henry Hazlitt popularized the ideas of Austrian economics and was a co-founder of the Foundation for Economic Education.\nHenry Hazlitt (1894-1993) was a well-known journalist and economics writer for publications such as The Wall Street Journal, The Nation, and The New York Times. He popularized the ideas of Austrian economics and was a co-founder of the Foundation for Economic Education. He is still widely cited for his writings on free markets, especially his best-selling book Economics in One Lesson.\nGrowing up, Hazlitt endured a difficult family and financial situation. After his father passed away when he was a baby, Hazlitt grew up in poverty, and spent several years at Girard College, \u201ca school in Philadelphia for poor, fatherless boys.\u201d His family\u2019s financial situation temporarily improved after his mother remarried, but his stepfather, who was an alcoholic, died when Hazlitt was 13.\nHazlitt\u2019s economic perspective was impacted by an experience he had with his uncle during a summer vacation. Hazlitt\u2019s uncle was an electrician who worked at an amusement park for a show called \u201cThe Galveston Flood\u201d; he was in charge of the electrical effects that simulated the disaster. His uncle hoped that Fourth of July would bring in crowds to see the show, but it rained all day. According to Hazlitt in his essay My Life and Conclusions,\nThis, except for my stepfather\u2019s business, was my first close up experience of the fate of an entrepreneur. His investment was wiped out. I was about fourteen at the time. The experience prevented me in later life from ever embracing the widespread popular assumption that owners, employers, \u201ccapitalists,\u201d invariably made money from their investments and could always afford to pay higher wages than they actually did.\nTo save money, Hazlitt gave up his dream of attending Harvard University and instead attended New York\u2019s City College. However, his time at City College was cut short because he needed to financially support his mother. A talented writer but an inexperienced high school graduate, Hazlitt held a variety of low-paying, short-term jobs until he was hired on as a secretary to the managing editor at The Wall Street Journal. This position, unlike earlier jobs he held, payed $12 a week instead of $5. As Hazlitt would later write about his early career path, \u201cTwo things about this will probably astonish the present-day reader. The first is the low pay prevailing at that period; the second the freedom of the market.\u201d\nHazlitt did not remain a secretary long, and he would go on to write in some of the most important publications of his day, including the Journal, The Nation, The American Mercury, The Century, The Freeman, and The New York Times\u2014for which he frequently wrote book reviews. Hazlitt was a talented writer, but his opposition to government intervention in the economy was sometimes at odds with the editorial views of prestigious publications. For example, he lost his position at The Nation after he critiqued the New Deal and from The New York Times after he warned readers about the risk of global inflation due to John Maynard Keynes\u2019 World War II economic reconstruction plan.\nAfter leaving The New York Times, Hazlitt wrote what would become his most famous publication, Economics in One Lesson. He referred to this book as a \u201cmodernization, extension, and generalization\u201d of Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Bastiat\u2019s essay about opportunity costs. In the first portion of the book, Hazlitt neatly summarizes his one necessary economic lesson: \u201cThe art of economics consists in looking not merely at the immediate but at the longer effects of any act or policy; it consists in tracing the consequences of that policy not merely for one group but for all groups.\u201d\nIn the Charles Koch Institute\u2019s offices, we have named our classrooms and conference rooms after men and women who contributed to advancing an understanding of how free and open societies lead to well-being for all. Henry Hazlitt is one of these individuals, and the conference room that bears his name also displays an etching of this quote:\nThe times call for courage. The times call for hard work. But if the demands are high, it is because the stakes are even higher. They are nothing less than the future of human liberty, which means the future of civilization.\nThis physical reminder connects us to Hazlitt as we work to continue his legacy of improving well-being for all. Hazlitt fearlessly promoted his belief in the role of free markets and their positive impact on society, even when it meant giving up lucrative and prestigious opportunities.",

        "raw_content": "Mariano Rivera's unanimous Hall of Fame election is a 1st that spurs a question: What did past greats do wrong?\nErnie Banks was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1977 with only 83.81 percent of the vote. Sixty-two writers \u2014 62! \u2014 left Mr. Cub off their ballots.\nJackie Robinson entered the Hall with only 77.5 percent of the vote in 1962. Ted Williams received only 282 of 302 votes in 1966. Joe DiMaggio was named on 223 of 251 ballots in 1955. Nine voters denied Hank Aaron unanimous election in 1982.\nThere\u2019s none of that messy dissent for Yankees ace reliever Mariano Rivera, the first unanimous selection to the Baseball Hall of Fame by the Baseball Writers\u2019 Association of America, named on all 425 ballots.\nThe unanimity for Rivera is no great shock. As stats get crunched and reputations assessed even before players retire these days, Hall deliberations seem more likely to be settled well ahead of the actual vote.\nHe was unquestionably a Hall of Famer. But a lot great players were and yet the writers have managed to implicitly cast doubt on their credentials by leaving them off their ballots.\nThe fact that the \u201cSandman\u201d is the first inductee chosen without dissent is as strong an indictment of Hall voters as any of the dubious admissions and glaring omissions to date.\nBabe Ruth getting only 95.13 percent of the vote in 1936 is not a good look. Seriously, who is more of a Hall of Famer for the ages than the Bambino?\nMaybe personal feelings figured into writers leaving someone such as Williams off ballots. \u201cThe Splendid Splinter\u201d had a famously contentious relationship with the press.\nAaron not being a unanimous pick, Robinson being snubbed by 36 of 160 voters, 23 of 432 leaving Willie Mays off their ballots in \u201979 and 64 voters failing to get behind Bob Gibson in 1981 makes it tempting to figure racism as a factor.\nBut Stan Musial came up 23 votes shy of unanimity in 1969 and Johnny Bench was 16 short when elected in 1989.\nA more benign explanation for the lack of unanimity would be that, given a surefire candidate in a given year, perhaps some voters wanted to deploy their 10 possible votes elsewhere.\nOr someone who covered the American League might have thought he didn\u2019t know enough about a National Leaguer in an era before ESPN and interleague play.\nIt seems there also was for a time resistance among some within the writers group to elect players in their first year of eligibility, a desire to see that as some higher honor reserved for the very top echelon.\nThat belief seems to be vanishing, though.\nOnce the designation of \u201calmost-certain Hall of Famer\u201d is conferred on a player, it now seems silly to make them wait any longer than necessary.\nIn other words, right or wrong, barring some unforeseen scandal, Derek Jeter\u2019s friends, fans and family can make their 2020 travel plans to upstate New York now.\nNot counting the original five players voted into the Hall by the writers in 1936 \u2014 Ruth, Ty Cobb, Honus Wagner, Christy Mathewson and Walter Johnson \u2014 Banks was only the eighth player voted into the Hall in his first year of eligibility.\nAdmitted on their first ballot in the 41 years between Banks\u2019 election and that of Ruth, et al., were Mickey Mantle (1974), Warren Spahn (\u201973), Sandy Koufax (\u201972), Musial (\u201969), Williams (\u201966), Bob Feller (\u201962) and Robinson.\nIn the 42 years since Banks\u2019 election, however, there have been 43 first-ballot Hall of Famers selected, including Rivera and the late Roy Halladay (85.41 percent) this year.\nTwelve have come in the last six years, including former Cubs pitcher Greg Maddux in 2014 and White Sox alumni Frank Thomas in \u201914, Ken Griffey Jr. in \u201916 and Jim Thome last year.\nGriffey came as close to unanimous selection as anyone had before Rivera, absent from only three ballots.\nOnetime White Sox pitcher Tom Seaver failed to win over five of 425 writers in 1992, Nolan Ryan was omitted by six of 497 in \u201999 and Cal Ripken Jr. was skipped over by eight of 545 in 2007.\nWith 98.53 percent of the vote, Ripken edged Cobb, who in \u201936 was endorsed by 98.23 percent.\nThat four writers left Cobb off their ballots in the initial vote of 1936 is less remarkable than the 11 who didn\u2019t acknowledge Ruth and Wagner.\nAdmittedly, the initial class of inductees was crowded. Of the top 50 vote-getters \u2014 including Shoeless Joe Jackson at No. 36 \u2014 43 now have made it to the Hall of Fame.\nCy Young finished eighth in \u201936, appearing on just 49.12 percent of the writers\u2019 ballots, well shy of the 75 percent needed for election. He cleared the hurdle the next year but with only two votes to spare, winning the endorsement of just 76.12 percent of the writers.\nYoung was some marginal case for the Hall of Fame.\nFrom 1890 to 1911, he completed only 749 of the 815 games he started, pitching 7,335 innings and racking up 511 wins, all records seemingly destined to last forever.\nYoung also threw three no-hitters, including what\u2019s considered the first perfect game of baseball\u2019s modern era.\nIf Young wasn\u2019t a lock for Cooperstown in the writers\u2019 eyes, who could ever expect to be?\nPaul Sullivan: Mariano Rivera again makes history as baseball Hall of Fame voters open doors wider \u00bb\nYankees' Mariano Rivera headlines Hall of Fame class; 3 others also voted in \u00bb\nPhil Rosenthal: Super Bowl-bound CBS analyst Tony Romo probably predicted this column would be written \u00bb",

It's true when they say that the days are long, but the years are short. I remember when you were born, thinking that we had such a long time together before I had to \"send you off to school\" but wow, the years have flown by!\nAs fast as these four and a half years have been, we've packed so much into them and have taken full advantage of having you at home, or in nursery. You've been abroad three times, once to mainland Spain, twice to Majorca. You've been to Butlins and Bluestone, Forest Holidays and Center Parcs. You've been to London, to Wales, to the Lake District, to Blackpool, and more.\nIt's a very surreal feeling for me as your mother, knowing what is ahead of you and although we've had six weeks to come to terms with the new chapter in your childhood, it still doesn't feel real.

        "raw_content": "Indiana law defines murder as the \u201cknowingly or intentionally\u201d killing of another human being. However, an individual can also be charged with murder, if a person is killed during the commission of certain felonies listed under Indiana Code 35-42-1-1. A conviction for murder carries a minimum penalty of 45 years in prison with a maximum penalty of 65 years. A prosecutor may also seek to file the death penalty or life without parole if statutory aggravators apply.\nOften times there are \u201clesser included\u201d offenses such as voluntary manslaughter, involuntary manslaughter, or criminal recklessness causing death that carry far less severe penalties than that of a murder conviction. If unique circumstances exist in a homicide, it is possible to have the sentence of an accused significantly reduced.\nIn any homicide case, whether it is murder, or one of the lesser included offenses, certain affirmative defenses like self-defense, insanity, involuntary intoxication, or battered woman syndrome may be available. These affirmative defenses can be waived if not filed properly and in a timely manner.\nUnlike most attempt charges, Attempted Murder is codified as its own distinct crime separate from an actual murder charge. Attempted Murder is a Level 1 felony, carrying a possible penalty of between 20 and 40 years in prison. An Attempted Murder conviction requires that a person act with the specific intent to kill another person as opposed to acting in a reckless manner.\nWhen you are looking to hire a murder attorney or an attempted murder lawyer it is important that you find a team of attorneys that are educated in the nuances of the law and who have experience in arguing these complex issues to a jury. Successfully defending a murder case may require your murder attorney to be well versed in cross-examining forensic experts in fields such as DNA, Serology, Ballistics, and Cell Phone technology.\nThe attorneys at Hayes Ruemmele LLC have over 40 years of combined legal experience, and have collectively tried well over a 100 jury trials. We have defended Murder and Attempted Murder cases at both the trial court and appellate levels. We can provide representation from the early stages of a rape investigation all the way to an appeal at the Indiana Supreme Court.\nHayes Ruemmele LLC In The Media\nThe Indianapolis Recorder \u2013 Prosecutor Drops Murder Charge Against Retarded Suspect\nWhy Do Innocent Suspects Confess? ; It\u2019s Pressure, Fatigue or Fear",

        "title": "Diggers - CINEMABLEND",
        "raw_content": "You\u2019ve seen this movie before. It may have been called, Breaking Away or perhaps Four Friends or even Diner. Cinema history says that this subgenre begins with Fellini and I Vitelloni. But that\u2019s not a film a clam digger is likely to go and see and that\u2019s what this film is about: guys who make their living digging up the clams you eat in your chowder. Now, clams are ugly creatures who hide in ugly shells so it\u2019s appropriate that this movie is ugly as well, as it\u2019s set in the mid \u201870s when MEN wore really awful mustaches and tight pants.\nDiggers is set specifically in 1976, the bicentennial, during the Presidential race between Carter and Ford. The Long Island we are shown here is a thing of the past, a working class community rather than a resort town, where the local industry is clam digging, an industry that is being decimated by a huge conglomerate who has restricted the best clam areas and left the dregs to the independents. Some have sold out and joined the enemy to make ends meet while the desperate characters at the center of this story refuse to give in so easily.\nIt\u2019s a very detailed portrait of a time and place that is about to change forever. You can see it in the faces of the characters who are trying so hard to survive. They make a valiant effort to hold on to their way of life, but it\u2019s really of no use. Time has passed them by.\nDirector Katherine Dieckmann does a wonderful job at capturing the particular melancholy between the lines of the well constructed screenplay by actor Ken Marino. This is a Long Island of 1976 in someone\u2019s memory, like a faded Polaroid in an old shoebox. Marino grew up in this community and has said it was a tribute to his father. You can clearly feel the affection on screen. These are people the writer loves and respects.\nMy favorite film in this subgenre is probably Beautiful Girls, written by Scott Rosenberg and directed by the late Ted Demme. One of the features of these films is the creation of a strong central character to hold down the ensemble, someone who seems to be drifting through their life and has to make one life changing decision before the credits roll. The calm and likable Timothy Hutton played that role flawlessly in Beautiful Girls and here we have another calm and likable actor, Paul Rudd, going through the paces. Rudd plays Hunt, a clam digger who goes to work each morning with his father. He seems to be disappointed in his life and bored with his routine. When we meet him, he is late for work and arrives to find his father dead. Hunt and his sister Gina (Maura Tierney) bury the old man in a rarely worn suit but with very familiar rubber boots. Hunt is left guilt stricken and at a real loss following his father\u2019s death, as he finds his life more aimless than ever. He has vague aspirations to be a photographer, but this seems to have been locked away as a pipe dream within the realities of this blue collar community.\nAlong with his friends Jack (Ron Eldard), Cons (Josh Hamilton), and Lozo (writer Ken Marino), he finds himself at a crossroads. All of them see the town as their entire world and most have never stepped outside of it even to visit the big city, New York, which is only a short drive away. Jack and Cons distract themselves with women and drugs respectively while Lozo is filled with anger at his impotent position. He has a wife Julie (Sarah Paulson) and a rather large family to support and as a result, his choices are truly limited. All are tied tightly to the town except for Hunt. His ties are all in his mind. Besides a short fling with a city girl on vacation, Zooey (Lauren Ambrose), that he naively sees a future in, Hunt only has his sister to consider. He sees himself as her protector but doesn\u2019t realize that she can easily take care of herself. It slowly dawns on Hunt that it\u2019s himself he needs to think about and that maybe the town has grown smaller than him.\nDiggers is nothing new. But it\u2019s amazing how well the formula works when the writing is sharply observed and the film is well cast. Much depends on the ability of the cast to make you feel as though they live in these well worn shoes and they do not disappoint. Marino in particular has done himself a favor with his own role, casting himself against type and giving a performance that rarely makes excuses. Lozo is misogynistic and abusive but never villainous. He\u2019s aided by Sarah Paulsen who gives a strong performance that shows just how her character could love such a man. It\u2019s the details that make these films tick and Dieckmann and Marino give us plenty of detail from the production design to the costumes, to the male swagger, all of it seems just right. It may not be Diner or Beautiful Girls, but Diggers has it\u2019s heart in the right place and is quite sincere.\nDiggers is the latest release from Dallas Mavericks head honcho Mark Cuban and his movie triangle, Magnolia Pictures, HDNET films, and Landmark Cinemas. A whole new distribution model began with Steven Soderbergh\u2019s Bubble in which the standard windows of day and date release are smashed. Diggers was released to theaters and HDNET cable TV on the same day and the DVD was released the following Tuesday. This is part of the \u201cNapsterization\u201d of the entertainment industry much talked about these days in which consumer choice is king. If you want to see it theatrically, go buy a ticket. If you want to sit at home and watch it, get HDNET, rent it from Netflix or buy it from Amazon. It\u2019s your choice. Cuban is able to do this because he\u2019s standing at all three doors to collect your money.\nThe DVD transfer is excellent. Shot in HD, the movie captures a warm tone that reminds you instantly of the cinematic world of the mid \u201970s, when Technicolor had the perfect formula for color printing. The soundtrack is available in Dolby 5.1 as well as 2.0 but in either case is not exactly The Matrix. The dialogue is clean and the sound effects and score clear. Due to the odd release platform, Magnolia Films split some of the extra features to the theatrical release as well, encouraging ticket buyers online by offering them goodies via email. These included a downloadable soundtrack and posters.\nOn the DVD itself we get a very informative commentary by writer Ken Marino and director Katherine Dieckmann which focuses on the challenges of making a period piece on a very low budget. Higher Definition: Diggers is an episode of an HDNET show hosted by film critic Robert Wilonsky who seems uncomfortable promoting his boss\u2019s product. It\u2019s still an informative interview with Marino and Dieckmann although much of it is also covered in their commentary. An hour long documentary called Baymen gives a social and historical context for those who want it.\nThe extras are rounded out with 31 minutes of deleted scenes which for once are actually interesting. It seems a whole subplot involving Hunt\u2019s anxiety attacks was removed from the film and the deleted scenes show how these were supposed to appear in the film. It\u2019s interesting in how much these scenes would\u2019ve shaded the movie in a different, though not necessarily better, way. It would\u2019ve made a heavy film even heavier and these Diggers really need a break.\nVisit the Diggers Official Website",

The best celebration of that action may be to hit bars, restaurants, and strip clubs that now dot the route, partaking of whatever little somethings they have to offer. The best part, other than shooting the War of 1812 breeze with knowledgeable locals, is that the closest place to where the British troops stopped before turning back is now the site of Haven Place Gentlemen\u2019s Tavern.

The formulaic account of the holding is that a local government does not violate the \u201cpublic use\u201d component of the Constitution\u2019s takings clause \u2014 \u201cnor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation\u201d \u2014 when it condemns property that will be turned over to a private developer for private development.

I was born in Tokyo and I'm in Seattle right now on exchange. When I was in elementary school, I read a book about Iran war and I realized that the war is not about the past but it's still happening, also people at the same age are suffering, so I thought I have something I can do to help them and launched Club World Peace Japan in summer 2009, with my junior high school friends for hope of the world peace.\nWe're peers beyond the border\nwe make use of the world wide CWPJ network, including the great east Japan earthquake victims and Indonesia tsunami victims working as a NGO, we gathered messages of the world peace from all teens around the world and choose several designs and messages from the vote and made a few sorts of the fair trade t-shirts and have sold first 260 shirts. We're sharing the reality of the child labor and what is happening in the real world along with selling the fair trade products to resolve those problems like child labor. Also we held teenage fair-trade t-shirts fashion show to propagate teens and younger generations. We donate apart of the proceeds to the developing countries as a support, and the other part for our CWPJ activities. We add new designs of the fair trade t-shirts regularly.\nWe need $6720 for the fair trade message t-shirts production costs and for the advertising expenses. We'd like to ask for your cooperation.\n69.4% of junior high school students are feeling \"anxious about their future in next 10 years\" and 69.4% of high school students are feeling \"society will not be bright when they become a member of the world.\"\nAccording to Sony Life Insurance company & Recruit company's investigation, about 70% of the teenagers are anxious about their future. Many children from over the world are suffering from child labor, poverty, and starvation. Japan is also facing problem of renewed poverty, but also children's suicide is becoming a major issue. Our field of activity is opened for everyone and we also wanted to make it like a second family. Through the participation in this program, we want to make it a place where all the teenagers belongs and spread to the other teenagers. We will continue our activities constructively.\nThere are 168 million people in the entire world and 1 in 9 children of the world are served as the child labor.\nWhen I was in 8th grade, I came across with the international collaboration NPO called \"Free the Children Japan\", which began in Canada, from child to child. I learned that one in seven children (at the time) are served as the child labor, and this made my decision to participate in the drama called \"Action Kids\", to tell people about the reality of the child labor in the world. I wanted to do something directly to stop the child labor, but since I was too young to make an action, I started from something that i can do, which was this drama. I was worried if I was able to tell people, but after the first stage, some audience said to me that they were moved, and this made me start to believe that I have a power to change things. \"While we go to school, hangout with friends, and go to bed, same aged children are working as the child labor\". \"Something that we can do\". These two messages are the words from the play. I was trying to tell these messages to the audience, but I realized that I was also the one who was moved by these words. I have always detected new actions \"that we can do\". While conveying messages, problems such as child labor is being settled. Fortunately, when I said that I'll start a new fair-trade project, many friends said that they'll help me. I absolutely want to make this project succeed.\nRecognition of the fair-trade in Japan\nHello, I'm the co-head of Club World Peace Japan, Ayaka Nasuno. I was a junior high school student when I visited UNICEF house, and this made me deepen my interest about fair trade. At the time, I didn't know the present condition of the poverty, international problems, and developing countries. I was just spending normal life. However, the state of the developing countries which I faces in the UNICEF house was something so shocking. Children at the same age are working. Workers who were hired for the low wages and without equal consideration. Unfair economic circulation towards the lack of knowledge for work and the education. These current states, which aren't proper took place just in front of me, and for the first time in my life, I personally felt the real condition of the world poverty. From this experience, I started to think deeply why there are so many differences even though we were born in the same planet. \"Is there something that I can do to change the situation\". This became the fist step of the opportunity to consider about the fair trade.\nA reaction from my friends and family had a huge influence on me to start this project. I'm studying hard to deepen the interest about the fair trade now, but there are only few people in Japan who knows about the fair trade, and this recognition of the fair trade is so low compared to other countries. I often hear the question about what is fair trade, from my friends and people who have never heard of the word 'fair trade.' However, the fair trade gentle with the earth and environment, which promotes the advantage such as producer's faces being seen than general free trade and there is a merit to secure a social rights and try to improve it by our power. This merit of the structure is not just thinking about your own profit, or one person's happiness, but everyone who takes part in the fair trade can be happy. I think the future trade from should be promoted from now on. So, from this project, i would like to spread the idea of fair trade to others not just Japan but also to the world.\nYuriage, the repayment of favor from the tsunami stricken areas\nYuriage, the city of Natori, in Miyagi prefecture, was the area that suffered from devastating damage by the Great East Japan earthquake. The sub leader and the proposer of the Natori Branch are from Yuriage. Two of them have experienced tsunami. Because we survived and overcome this disaster, we wanted to do something to help, so we started up the Natori\u2022Sendai branch. We appreciate all the supports and cooperations. With so many help, we were able to do held Yuriage students meetings, the flash mobs at the Yuriage Morning Market, and many other activities in the community. Also we're trying to tell our experiences to other people. Yuriage members are also involved in this project as a core staff, trying mean the repayment of favor.",

        "raw_content": "U.S. CeBit seeks business elite\nUnlike sister show CeBit Hannover, which boasts hundreds of thousands of attendees, CeBit America is aiming at a much smaller number of corporate executives.\nCeBit America, the U.S. offshoot of one of the world's biggest technology trade shows, is shaping up to be the anti-Comdex.\nFollow News.com?s coverage\nof the New York show.\nNew notebook computers, PDAs (personal digital assistants) and wireless networking gear are expected to compete for the spotlight at the show, which begins later this week in New York. But unlike Comdex or Germany's CeBit Hannover, which boast hundreds of thousands of attendees, CeBit America is aiming at a much smaller number of business executives.\nCeBit America will take over the traditional June time slot of another big show, PC Expo. But CeBit organizers don't expect PC Expo crowds. Instead, the show has registered between 20,000 and 25,000 attendees who are mainly executives at large or midsize companies, said Mark Dineen, managing director of CeBit America.\nDineen said CeBit America designed it that way to focus on exhibitors making good business contacts, instead of having a large number of people filter through a given booth.\n\"We're not trying to be an event. We're trying to be a quality trade show only,\" Dineen said. \"We're not trying to compete with the historical shows that have been here before. I want people to walk away from the show saying they're very happy with the show because they met the vice president of (a certain company) and that person bought $1 million worth of products.\"\nSome companies are approaching CeBit America with some caution--given that the show is new, one analyst said.\n\"There seems to have been a fragmentation of focus, given that PC Expo got moved off to the fall and CeBit took the June spot. So people don't seem particularly committed to either show, because in some sense (CeBit) is untested,\" IDC analyst Roger Kay said. \"There seems to be at least some activity, but it's not as much as I think I've seen in prior years when it was PC Expo or TechXNY.\"\nTechXNY, which is the overarching conference the PC Expo show is now part of, this year was moved to September.\nCeBit America attendees will be able to peruse about 360 exhibits over approximately 110,000 feet of space that's divided among computer hardware, software and networking categories. A series of smaller pavilions and special panel discussions will focus on mobile technology, computer security, data storage and wireless networking.\nSome large computer manufacturers such as Dell Computer will have little, if any, presence at the show. But a host of others, including Hewlett-Packard, have chosen to attend CeBit America to debut new products and technologies aimed at businesses. IBM and Sun Microsystems also will attend.\nHP, which has a booth on the show floor, likely will be one of the top names at CeBit America. The company will use the show to officially launch two new business-oriented wireless notebooks--the lightweight HP Compaq nc4000 and nx7000--which it hopes will bolster its position against Dell and IBM.\nHP's 4-pound nc4000 will pair a 12.1-inch screen with a 1.4GHz or 1.6GHz Pentium M. The version with the 1.4GHz chip and 802.11b wireless is expected to start at $1,700, while the version that will include a 1.6GHz Pentium M chip will sell for just over $2,000, sources familiar with HP's plans said.\nThe nx7000 will feature a 15.4-inch wide-angle display and weigh about 6.5 pounds. One nx7000 model will pair the wide-angle display with a 1.4GHz Pentium M for a starting price of about $1,700, while another will be fitted with a 1.6GHz Pentium 4 and will start around $2,000, the sources said.\nHP and Adaptec together will debut a new disk drive interface for large data storage systems. The new interface, dubbed Serial Attached SCSI (Small Computer System Interface), will be compatible with formats such as Serial ATA, adding flexibility to storage systems used by businesses. The interface will help make it possible for businesses to design smaller disk drives, the companies said in a statement.\nHP also is expected to quietly show off new Presario notebooks for consumers and small businesses and new iPaq PDAs based on the forthcoming Pocket PC 2003 software from Microsoft. Pocket PC 2003 will debut next week.\nIn a twist, former HP President Michael Capellas, now chief executive of MCI--the company formerly known as WorldCom--will give the opening keynote speech at CeBit America on Wednesday morning.\nDavid Nagel, CEO of PalmSource, also will give a keynote speech that day. PalmSource, the software arm of PDA maker Palm, is expected to announce a wireless messaging product for businesses with partner Visto at the show.\nCraig Conway, CEO of PeopleSoft, will take the stage Thursday, and Nobuharu Ono, president of NTT DoCoMo USA, will speak Friday.\nGateway executives also are heading to New York. While Gateway is making a consumer-electronics push designed to help bring it back to profitability, the company plans to use the show to reaffirm its plans to stay in the PC business.\nGateway will announce plans to release the newly approved 802.11g wireless specification on all its notebooks over the next five or six weeks. An 802.11g upgrade on a notebook that already comes standard with 802.11b will add about $30 to the price, Gateway executives said. The company also is expected to show off its first PDA product, a new handheld based on Pocket PC 2003.\nMany other companies, such as Hitachi Global Storage, will be at the show to connect with customers. Hitachi Global Storage, formed recently as a joint venture between IBM and Hitachi, isn't expected to make any announcements at the show and will instead provide an overview of its strategy and products, a company representative said.\nMeanwhile, Iomega will show off a new multi-format DVD burner drive for PCs. The drive, dubbed Super DVD All Format, will support DVD-rewritable formats, including DVD-RW, DVD+RW and DVD-RAM, allowing purchasers to avoid standardizing on one or the other. The $329 drive will ship in the Unites States in August. It will be available only as an internal PC component at first, though an external version will follow in September, the company said in a statement.\nTDV Vision, a company that manufactures computer displays, will introduce nVision, a new tablet PC, based on Transmeta's Crusoe processor. The tablet will feature a 12-inch display and will start at $999, the company said in a statement.\nOther show participants will include Intel, Lexmark, Microsoft, Oracle, Sprint, T-Mobile, Toshiba and Xerox.\nDiscuss: U.S. CeBit seeks business elite",

        "raw_content": "Developers working in two Pierce County watersheds have a new option to offset unavoidable construction impacts to wetlands and other aquatic habitat.\nThe county\u2019s new in-lieu fee program provides developers in the Chambers-Clover Creek Watershed and a portion of the Nisqually Watershed the opportunity to buy credits through the program rather than building their own project to mitigate unavoidable impacts to wetlands. The credits represent the expected cost of compensating for the lost or degraded wetland, stream or other freshwater habitat. In addition, the credits will pay for maintaining and monitoring two wetlands created by Pierce County, running the in-lieu fee program and expanding the program in the future.\nPierce County built the two wetland mitigation sites to reduce the amount of time between losing a wetland area to development and replacing the lost functions at a mitigation site. The 16-acre South Midland Wetland Preserve was built in 2008 and the 16-acre Larchmont Wetland Preserve was built in 2013.\n\u201cThe program helps balance our community\u2019s growth with preserving the environment we all share,\u201d said Pierce County Executive Pat McCarthy. \u201cI appreciate the collaboration between Pierce County and its state and federal partners to make this program become a reality.\u201d\nBefore the in-lieu fee program, developers either created new wetlands on site or bought property elsewhere to replace the impacted wetland. They also had to pay for maintaining and monitoring that new wetland for several years, as well as ensuring that the new wetland did not fail. Those options still exist, when appropriate.\nThe in-lieu fee program is available for use by both private and public projects. When developers apply for permits to construct their project, the county and other regulatory agencies will determine if the application qualifies for the in-lieu fee program. Developers can decide if they want to participate. Other alternatives to compensate for wetland loss on a site must be unfeasible in order to qualify for the program.\nOne of the main objectives of the in-lieu fee program is to provide high-quality, successful, long-term mitigation addressing the needs of the watersheds. The program will provide public benefit by applying mitigation resources toward the improvement of ecologically-impaired lands in the watersheds.\nPierce County is the second county in Washington to have an in-lieu fee program. The county partnered with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Washington State Department of Ecology, Puget Sound Partnership and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to develop the program.\nThe Corps provided technical assistance and legal review of the program to ensure it complied with federal regulations.\n\u201cThe Corps believes that effective in-lieu fee programs are vital to helping it protect the aquatic environment, efficiently administer our regulatory program, and provide the public with fair, timely, and reasonable decisions,\u201d said Gail Terzi, Army Corps of Engineers mitigation specialist. \u201cSuch programs are very intentional in how they embrace a watershed approach, and as such, are optimal tools for addressing watershed needs.\u201d\nThe Washington State Department of Ecology provided $2.2 million for the county to develop the Larchmont site and develop the program. This partnership makes Pierce County\u2019s in-lieu fee program unique because it is the only county to have a site built in advance using state grant dollars. Pierce County paid $3 million to buy property and develop the South Midland Wetland Reserve using Surface Water Management fees.\n\u201cWe\u2019re excited to see our state grant funding turn into a project that will have such a positive impact on the environment,\u201d said Patricia Johnson, Washington State Department of Ecology wetland mitigation specialist. \u201cThe Pierce County in-lieu fee program is unique because it has mitigation sites that have already been constructed and are already providing important ecological functions.\u201d\nThe concept of the in-lieu fee program came from the Puget Sound Partnership, which drafted the original proposal. Pierce County used that initial work to create its program.\n\"This program provides an efficient and effective market-based mechanism that balances the needs for human development and natural systems,\" said Sheida R. Sahandy, Puget Sound Partnership executive director. \"By investing in large, contiguous restoration projects to offset the negative impacts of development, we are vastly increasing the likelihood of long-term ecological success. For the developers, it is fast and predictable. It is a win-win.\"\nThe U.S. Environmental Protection Agency also provided significant technical expertise as the program was drafted and refined.\n\"The Environmental Protection Agency appreciates the county's proactive effort to protect these important urban watersheds,\" said David Allnutt, director of the EPA\u2019s Office of Ecosystems, Tribal and Public Affairs. \"Urban watersheds and their aquatic resources play a valuable role in the health of the overall ecosystem in this area. This program will not only offset impacts due to large or small construction projects, but will result in large-scale improvements to the watershed.\"\nFor more information about the program and how to participate, visit www.co.pierce.wa.us/inlieufee.

        "raw_content": "Being Open, Compassion, Events, Fear, Growth, Life\nHowdy, I sit here reading all of the news about Lance Armstrong and feel like sharing. I was, years ago, charged with a crime I didn't commit. I remember feeling so alone, so afraid. I remember feeling like giving up. Years later, after I had been fighting the charges (it is amazing how long some things take) I pleaded no contest. I did so because the chance was that it would continue to go on and on and on. I was ready to move on, to forget about it all and get on with my life. The charges were brought on by a stalker who threatened my world in so many ways. She threatened to ruin my career, she followed me home, she scared my friends and co-workers. She worried the judge who questioned her fighting the restraining order I'd brought against her. The deal was if I was going to fight any harder I would have to come to the realization that I am a big black chick and a little white chick looks more innocent to most people, regardless. I just don't seem like a 'victim.' I didn't want to take any chances and I didn't want to continue to be judged any more than I was when the false charges were uttered from her mouth. So I let it go and am so very happy that I did.\nI remember when, from a jail cell, I sat horrified. I had never (and still haven't) done any drugs. I had never done anything to anyone that was criminal. I went to college, paid (and am still paying) my way. I was and am a pretty upstanding citizen who, for the most part, played by the rules. I don't have a problem facing what I have done, it is really hard when you haven't actually done anything. It is like you are yelling at an imaginary person. You are fighting a fight that can morph and change because it doesn't actually exist. It is pointless in so many ways that are hard to describe. You basically feel like you are digging a hole the harder you push against it because you are acknowledging a lie. You are defending something that isn't actually there. Then, you face other people's feelings about what you 'should' have done. One of my brothers tried to use this event against me, saying awful things about me. I knew a few people in my life momentarily believe that I was guilty. It was hard and scary and I got through it. It is amazing to me how many people have opinions about things they know nothing about. Ha! It is very hard to understand what you don't understand. The most you can do is acknowledge that you don't know. It is also the kindest thing to do.\nSince that event I have learned so many things, one of which is that I really, truly, don't know whether someone did or did not do something unless I was there\u2026 and that people are not to be trusted sometimes. You simply rarely know the truth and, in my opinion, compassion is what is needed in place of judgement. It is so easy to say that someone did something and for it to be a lie. It happens people, it really does. People lie, the cheat, they steal, they tear others down just to see them fall. It is amazing how resistant we are to seeing that truth when it is all around us.\nI believe it is also important to let people decide what is best for them and when. Lance letting go isn't him giving up, it is him moving on.\nTagged: criminal, justice, lance, lance armstrong, lies, tour de france, truth\nNewer PostFind A New Love\nOlder PostLess Is More",

I just called my credit card company to activate a new credit card and had to sit through a 90-second prerecorded message about the recent Target data breach and how it might affect me. I had to listen to the entire recording to get to the card activation menu, which was a waste of time because the Target issue has zero impact on me. (Since the new card has never been used, there's no chance that it would've been in Target's compromised database.)\nWasting a minute and a half is not a huge deal, but it really adds up when you consider all of the credit card company's customers. If the company forces one million people to listen to that message, that sums to 3 man-years of time. It's a sad fact to ponder: because someone decided to play a useless recording for every card activation, 3 years of productive time were taken away from the world. Many companies use these types of prerecorded messages: hospitals announce flu shot updates before letting you schedule an appointment, movie theaters advertise upcoming movies before letting you hear their hours of operation, and credit card companies tell you your balance and due date before offering you billing options.\nGoogle offers a more dramatic example of this type of calculation. I just timed a few searches from my laptop and found that search results are displayed after about 0.4 seconds. What if each search took 0.5 seconds? A tenth of a second is not a big deal, right? Well, Google handles 12 billion searches per month, so if every search took a mere 0.1 seconds longer, Google would be generating almost 500 man-years of wasted time each year -- the equivalent of six human lifetimes.\nThese are two instances of small things that add up to a lot, but the same math applies to larger examples of waste. The epitome of inefficiency is the DMV. A few web searches suggest that the DMV handles about 200 million in-person visits every year, and the average waiting time per visit is about 30 minutes. That means that each calendar year, Americans spend an aggregate of over ten thousand years waiting at the DMV! If you could somehow eliminate DMV wait times and give those hours back to the people, you could increase the work output of the United States by 0.05% -- a significant amount considering the size of the GDP.\nThe point here is not to criticize organizations but to show the significance of inefficiencies that are repeated over and over. People spend too much time waiting in lines, waiting in cars, and waiting at their computers. They also spend large sums of money on transaction brokers, information brokers, commission fees, and transaction fees. Many of these inefficiencies could be reduced or even eliminated. If you have an entrepreneurial mindset, then every inefficiency presents a promising business opportunity. Do you think people spend too much time navigating automated phone systems? Build GetHuman. Are you a restaurant owner who's frustrated that working with food suppliers requires voicemails, faxes, and paper forms? Build Sourcery. Do you wish that USPS could delivery packages more quickly? Build Fedex. The list of opportunities is endless.\nWhen venture capitalists research a startup, they want to know that it's doing something valuable. Often, \"something valuable\" translates to helping people save time or money (or both), and many huge companies were built around these principles (Walmart, Intuit, Travelocity, et cetera). If you're looking for business ideas, find a place where resources are squandered and fix it.\nAnalyzing inefficiencies is also useful if you have an existing business. You already have customers using your products, so think about how you can save them even more time and money.* Even simple things like remembering that someone is logged in or adding shortcut links for the most common actions can have a big impact when summed across all of your customers. Furthermore, just like saving five minutes per customer is significant to your company when you have 1000 customers, saving five seconds per task is very valuable to a customer who has to perform 1000 tasks. If you allow people to be more efficient, whether in terms of time or in terms of money, they will love your product and help you stay in business. If you don't concern yourself with eliminating inefficiencies, you're giving your competitors a wide opening.\n* Saving people money can lead to them spending more with you. See Walmart, Amazon, and subscription services such as Spotify that charge a little bit per month instead of a lot up front.\n3 specific things that I think are inefficient right now:\nStartups often reinvent the wheel when it comes to designing interview processes, performance reviews, salary levels, etc. Why isn't there a global repository of best practices, common legal documents and contracts, and so on?\nI can't pay for someone's expertise by the minute. Most consulting services charge by the hour or the day, but there are many times where I just need a few minutes of advice. If I need 10 minutes of help, then I'd much rather pay for 10 minutes at a $200/hour rate than for 60 minutes at a $100/hour rate.\nThere are tons of great business books out there, and several professional book summary services (e.g. http://www.bizsum.com/ and http://www.summary.com/). Why isn't there a crowdsourced summary service where people can summarize small chunks of books and get access to all existing book summaries? For most books, I'd much rather read a 5-page summary and get 80% of a book's value than read the entire 300-page book.\n(Caveat: I search the web for solutions to these problems every year or two and haven't found anything yet, but it's possible that something relevant has popped up since the last time that I looked.)",

Using mpx Live Events, you can now automate the recording process by setting your encoders to stop and start at specific times, and the pre-screening feature in the mpx Console to help you make sure that everything is on track. Since mpx Live Events is fully integrated with mpx, your live events can also utilize mpx Replay (which provides start-over functionality and converts video assets for catch-up and video-on-demand). And, as a part of mpx Commerce, you can monetize your live events by packaging them as pay-per-views (PPV), electronic sell-throughs (EST), or subscriptions.\nFor example, let\u2019s say your media company has the exclusive rights to live broadcast the World Freestyle Skiing Championship. This event hosts three competitions over three days, starting with Moguls on Tuesday at 9:00am-12:00pm PST, Aerials on Wednesday at 9:00am-12:00pm PST, and Dual Moguls at 9:00am-12:00pm Thursday.\nmpx Live Events allows you to set your encoders up at these prescribed event start and end times. Then, you can use mpx Commerce to provide free access for the first two events, and PPV for the third. Or, bundle all three events into an extreme skiing sports subscription.\nPlease read our mpx Replay Solution Brief and mpx Commerce White Paper to learn more.

The Commerce Department said Wednesday that sales of new homes increased 3.3 percent from March, to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 343,000.\nSales were up in all regions except the South. The median price rose to $235,700, a slight increase from March.\nEven with gain, the pace of new-home sales is well below the 700,000 annual rate that economists equate with healthy markets. Still, the broad-based gains across the country contributed to growing evidence that the home market could finally be rebounding nearly five years after the housing bubble burst.\nSeparately, U.S. homebuilder Toll Brothers said home deliveries and signed contracts on new homes rose in its latest quarter. Its shares rose more than 2 percent.\nThe homebuilder earned $16.9 million, or 10 cents per share, for the three months ended April 30. A year earlier it lost $20.8 million, or 12 cents per share.\nA pickup in hiring and cheaper mortgages, combined with lower home prices in most markets, has made homebuying more attractive. Builder confidence has increased steadily since the fall.\nOn Tuesday, the National Association of Realtors said sales of previously owned homes increased 3.4 percent, to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.62 million. That nearly matched January\u2019s sales pace of 4.63 million, which had been the best in two years.\nAlthough new homes represent less than 20 percent of the housing market, they have an outsized impact on the economy. Each home built creates an average of three jobs for a year and generates about $90,000 in tax revenue, according to statistics compiled by the National Association of Home Builders.\nFirst Published May 23 2012 08:44 am \u2022 Last Updated May 23 2012 07:48 pm\nCategories: Home Builders, New Construction, New Home Builders, New Home Building",

        "raw_content": "Austin Reed Group to go into CVA\nReports over the weekend revealed Darius Capital, the company which owns the retailer, Austin Reed, is considering going into a Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA) to reduce its debt. According to the Group\u2019s management (who also own Viyella and Country Casuals - CC), the decision could be made after the busy festive period and sales.\nFigures from Companies House show Austin Reed made a pre-tax loss of \u00a31.29 million in the year to January 2014, with sales of \u00a3109 million.\nThe company is currently in talks with Deloitte over the restructuring method which involves spreading out debt repayments over a few years (with some debt partially written off). The business would continue trading while it has a chance to improve cashflow, cut costs and avoid any potential legal action. Part of the restructure would likely involve several shop closures out of the 260 stores across the country.\nThe first Austin Reed store opened in 1900 and has provided custom to Winston Churchill, HM The Queen and Christine Lagarde.\nA company voluntary arrangement could save this British tailor from entering administration and all legal action could be avoided. With the business being able to continue, management can focus on improving overheads and strategy.\nFor struggling retailers, a CVA can be a powerful tool to determine lease obligations and negotiate repayment with lenders. For more information, see our retailer rescue page\nWhen a company goes into administration, money will likely be owed to different groups of creditors such as lenders, landlords and employees, but in a specific order. This is known as order of priority. See our infographic for more details.\nUPDATE - 19th January 2015: The company's plans to go into a CVA could result in 31 loss-making stores closing plus a \u00a33 million cash injection from the company's shareholders. The other 166 stores would continue to trade while the firm takes part in discussions with landlords over rent reductions.\nThe landlords will vote for or against a CVA on the 5th February.\nUPDATE - 6th February 2015: CVAs have been approved by more than 95% of creditors for both County Casuals and Austin Reed. Unfortunately, 26 CC stores and 9 Austin Reed stores will close, however this number could have been far bigger if the Group only had administration as an option.",

The machine was designed and built by Atanasoff and graduate student Clifford Berry between 1939 and 1942. The ABC was at the center of a patent dispute related to the invention of the computer, which was resolved in 1973 when it was shown that ENIAC co-designer John Mauchly had seen the ABC shortly after it became functional.\nThe legal result was a landmark: Atanasoff was declared the originator of several basic computer ideas, but the computer as a concept was declared un-patentable and thus freely open to all. A full-scale working replica of the ABC was completed in 1997, proving that the ABC machine functioned as Atanasoff had claimed. The replica is currently on display at the Computer History Museum.",

        "title": "Bridging the Chinese Skills Gap - Computerworld",
        "raw_content": "Maria Trombly and Bill Marcus (Computerworld) 03 July, 2006 14:59\nMoreover, foreign companies have to compete with globalizing Chinese companies for seasoned managers, and that demand will continue to outstrip supply by a ratio of 15-to-1 over the next 10 to 15 years, the report says.\nMost in demand are Chinese IT managers with experience working overseas.\n\"Everybody shoots for the returnees,\" says Tsiknas, noting that they have the best English skills, solid work habits and multicultural savvy. \"They bridge the divide between local and Western cultures and have experience that is not easily gained here in China,\" he says.\nThe shortage of midlevel IT managers has driven salaries in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen -- China's leading coastal business centers -- up 8 percent to 10 percent per year, Wang says. Salaries in second-tier cities are generally 20 percent lower but are increasing at a higher rate, he adds.\nStopgap measures for handling the IT talent shortage can make things worse. Poaching from competitors, for example, is a much decried though common practice. \"There is a tendency in China for employees to jump for relatively small salary improvements,\" says Linda Sprague, a professor of manufacturing and operations management at China Europe International Business School in Shanghai.\nThis is a three-part problem, she explains: The company loses an employee it has been developing, the IT person who jumps may never stay in one place long enough to become really experienced and productive, and salaries rise even faster.\nAnother strategy is to tap overseas communities of Chinese speakers in Singapore, Taiwan and Hong Kong, who usually have excellent English skills and are used to working to Western standards in multicultural environments. Because they are in demand, IT managers from Singapore and Taiwan -- and especially Hong Kong -- command the biggest salary packages, according to a 2005 compensation and benefits survey conducted by Watson Wyatt Worldwide, a global human resources consulting firm based in Arlington, Va.\nBut additional costs, such as housing expatriate workers and flying them home to see friends and family, doubles what a company would spend on a Chinese employee. \"Everyone is trying to scale back on these because they are expensive,\" says Wang.\nMultinational corporations have one distinct advantage over domestic Chinese companies when it comes to attracting the best and the brightest: The sky's the limit as far as opportunities for advancement are concerned. Well-known companies such as General Electric Co., Siemens, Motorola and The Dow Chemical Co. can attract good people if they have a reputation for nurturing employee success, Wang says. That's because, at least in one respect, Chinese IT workers are like their counterparts everywhere. \"Pay is usually not the key driver for attracting top employees,\" Wang says. \"Many people are driven by factors such as career opportunities, training and education.\"\nEmployers that provide those extras build reputations that help attract the best talent while drastically reducing the cost of recruiting. \"In a profession such as IT, where turnover is 25 percent or more, this cost can be significant,\" Wang says.\nApparently, the approach is working for global soft-drink giant Coca-Cola Co. \"We have no problems in attracting and recruiting skilled IT managers,\" says Coca-Cola Asia spokesman Kenth Kaerhoeg. \"Fortunately, the talent pool in China is increasing rapidly. In addition, we provide intensive training to all new recruits.\"\nIn terms of career opportunities, one of the most powerful lures is the promise of an international career development path. \"It's a fallacy to think you can retain people purely on cash compensation,\" says John Ruthven, general manager of Asia-Pacific operations at Islandia, N.Y.-based CA.\nThe software vendor is putting together plans for one- and two-year rotations through its Hong Kong office or other international locations for its Chinese employees. \"Overseas postings make them extraordinarily marketable and extraordinarily valuable to a multinational business operating in China,\" says Ruthven.\nAnd what about companies that can't afford to pay top rates or rotate people through glamorous international locations? They may have to set their sights lower, says Samuel Ritter, a senior consultant at SSBG, an IT services provider based in Shanghai.\n\"A lot of companies are forced to make changes in their requirements,\" Ritter says. \"Where they were looking for 15 years' experience, they're lucky if they get five to eight. Where they want fluency in Chinese and English, they're lucky if they get just professional Chinese communication skills. Where they want a good personality and a team player, they may have to settle for someone with people issues.\"\nTrombly and Marcus are freelance business and technology writers based in Shanghai.\nMore about Dow Chemical AustraliaGeneral ElectricHewitt AssociatesHISHuman Resources ConsultingMotorolaPLUSPromiseSiemensWang",

        "raw_content": "The way the teaching profession learns its craft and refines and develops its skills is changing on a national level. Jennifer Blunden Director of the new Cornwall Teaching School and Deputy Team Leader at Truro and Penwith College explains why\nTruro and Penwith College is at the heart of the latest developments locally. Leading a cross-phase partnership of schools, the college successfully launched Cornwall Teaching School last year. It is the first Further Education or Tertiary College in England to be granted Teaching School status.\nAs a newly designated National Support School, the college has been selected to lead training and professional development for teaching staff across the region with its strategic partners. These include Richard Lander School, Penair School, the Roseland Community College, Devoran School and Truro Nursery School. The launch event took place at Truro College when representatives from local and national institutions came together for a well-attended conference.\nThey were welcomed by David Walrond, Principal of Truro and Penwith College who was recently designated a National Leader in Education. Guest speakers included Charlie Taylor, Chief Executive of the National College for Teaching and Learning who explained how teaching schools are catalysts for school improvement and raising standards. Other visiting speakers from across the country shared their experiences, including an insight into the success of the London Challenge, and presentations on the work of other teaching schools in the South West.\nThe core vision for Cornwall Teaching School is to develop a sustainable model for developing teachers and leaders and to secure outstanding practice in all phases of learning in Cornwall. The guiding principles are trust, transparency, and high aspirations across all phases of education. The key aim is to ensure children and young people achieve to the very best of their ability. Cornwall Teaching School is offering early years, primary, secondary and 11-19 \u2018School Direct\u2019 teacher training places. It will do so for primary and secondary teaching through local \u2018SCITT\u2019 (School-Centred Initial Teacher Training) partners. The teaching school aims to recruit and retain outstanding new entrants to the teaching profession. It will provide them with the highest quality training informed by the latest research to meet the needs of Cornish schools. Cornwall SCITT and Cornwall SCITT Partnership are both outstanding providers of teacher training with established local and national reputations for excellence. Between them they have trained almost 1000 teachers working in Cornish schools. The School Direct approach is modelled upon their success.\nCornwall Teaching School has a wealth of specialist support, not just for learning and teaching and teacher training, but also for business management and academy transition through designated Specialist Leaders of Education and Associates who work across phase to support and deliver great learning, teaching and leadership in Cornwall.\nDr Jenny Blunden, Director of Cornwall Teaching School, is leading its development and very enthusiastic about the great potential it offers for improving teaching, learning, and the life chances of young people in Cornwall: \u2018There are real opportunities for schools and colleges to work in local partnerships that develop packages of effective support which will maintain the ethos and identity of individual schools while supporting real school improvement in line with local andnational priorities\u2019.\nResearch and evidence-based practice arcore to Cornwall Teaching School which even in its first weeks of existence has already had success in securing research awards from the National College for Teaching and Leadership. The projects include developing video guidance and analysis of teaching for better behaviour management and communication. The Cornwall Teaching School is also involved in national \u2018Closing-the-Gap\u2019 projects and collaborative work with primary partners to develop a local vision for the new Primary\nFor further information about Cornwall TeachinSchool visit www.cornwallteachingschool.org/",

        "raw_content": "Strike 4 Repeal: International Women's Day in Ireland\nWritten by Amy O'Donoghue\nStrike 4 Repeal. Photo: Flickr/William Murphy\nOn International Women's Day, thousands of women in Ireland went on strike and took to the streets reports Amy O'Donoghue\nLast Wednesday, International Women\u2019s Day, thousands took action to demand a referendum on the 8th Amendment to the Irish Constitution, which outlaws abortion rights. At midday, the national #Strike4Repeal took place in over 30 locations across Ireland, with an estimated 5,000 people taking to Dublin\u2019s O\u2019Connell Bridge. Later that day, up to 10,000 again took to the streets in Dublin for the March4Repeal.\nGranting the same legal rights to a foetus as to a pregnant woman or trans man, the 8th Amendment effectively criminalises abortion in Ireland. The sentence for taking an abortion pill, which is on the World Health Organization\u2019s list of essential medicines, is 14 years in jail. Because of the amendment, pregnant women do not have the right to refuse or consent to medical treatment. The amendment is why Ms Y, an asylum seeker in Ireland who became pregnant after being raped and was at risk of suicide, was denied an abortion and given a caesarian section at 24 weeks of pregnancy without her consent.\nThis situation forces an average of 12 women to travel from Ireland to the UK and other European countries each day seeking an abortion. This is the legacy of the alliance between the state and Church in Ireland.\nUntil the late 20th century, unmarried pregnant women were incarcerated in Church-run institutions, where their children were then taken from them and often trafficked to the US for adoption for profit or neglected. Last week, a mass grave was found at a former Mother and Baby Home at Tuam. A report by the Irish health service into conditions at Bessborough Mother and Baby Home in Cork found that \u2018women and babies were considered little more than a commodity for trade amongst religious orders\u2019. This is indicative of a culture, dominated by the Church under a complicit state, that is obsessed with the regulation of women\u2019s bodies and behaviour.\nThe 8th Amendment has its roots in this history of oppression, granting the state unqualified power over women in Ireland and denying us our right to bodily autonomy. The majority of those who are rising up against the old, conservative regime have never had a vote on the amendment, which was introduced in 1983. In growing numbers, we are demanding change.\nUnder public pressure last year, the government initiated a Citizens\u2019 Assembly of 99 randomly selected participants to make recommendations on the 8th Amendment, a tactic that has allowed them to refuse any further action. After last Wednesday\u2019s demonstrations, Minister for Health Simon Harris has again insisted that the government\u2019s hands are tied until the Assembly submits its report.\nThis response shows an inability or unwillingness to understand the meaning of Wednesday\u2019s actions.\nIn Cork City, 1,000 people marched during the midday strike action \u2013 women with their children, students who had walked out of school and college and workers who had used holiday time or unpaid leave to participate. Wednesday felt like a turning point for the movement, when to walk the streets of Holy Catholic Ireland and demand the basic human right to control our own bodies became the new \u2018normal\u2019. It took the work of many determined activists over many years to get to this point. We must use the momentum that has been generated to continue the fight to be treated as full, equal members of society, with all the rights it entails.\nThe government\u2019s continuous deferrals on the issue of the 8th Amendment in response to public pressure have taught Ireland\u2019s young women to channel our anger onto the streets. To paraphrase Rosa Luxemburg, it was through moving that we began to notice our chains. There is every reason to believe we will break them.\nTagged under: Women's Liberation Strike Mass Movement Protest Ireland",

        "raw_content": "CRDF Global has been actively involved in developing university-based technology acceleration programs in Russia. In the Fall of 2016, CRDF Global, in conjunction with the Foundation for Assistance to Small Innovative Enterprises (FASIE) of the Russian Federation, invited entrepreneurship and innovation professionals in Russia to compete in a \u201ctrain-the-trainer\u201d program for its annual Technology Entrepreneurship Development Program (TEDP). This program assisted Russia\u2019s emerging technology commercialization experts to refine their coaching skills, expand their practical knowledge, and gain international experience to be better assist fellow entrepreneurs in their entrepreneurial pursuits. Winners of the competition would receive a travel grant to the United States to visit leading U.S. innovation hubs.\nOne of those winners was Aleksandr Gretskov, director of Startup Center, an entrepreneurship innovation center in Samara. Aleksandr was able to participate in CRDF Global\u2019s organized travel grant program and visited several innovation hubs in the United States, including Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship and 1776 Startup Incubator in Washington D.C. as well as Startup World Cup, an innovation forum in Silicon Valley, California. He even was able to meet Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple Inc. For Aleksandr, CRDF\u2019s train-the-trainer program provided him with invaluable advice to further grow his university-based Startup Center.\nSince Aleksandr\u2019s completion of TEDP and visit to the United States, Startup Samara has rapidly grown from its once-modest beginnings. Over the past two years alone, the Startup Center has conducted over 200 events with almost 15,000 attendees in total. In addition, Startup Samara has launched 9 acceleration programs and 5 corporate acceleration programs in cooperation with the Russian Venture Company (RVC).\nSeveral months ago, CRDF Global's exerts were invited to conduct a technology entrepreneurship bootcamp at Startup Samara on September 10-11, 2018. The two-day event attracted more than 300 students and was hosted by the Samara National Research University. CRDF Global provided information about the main aspects of technology entrepreneurship to large audiences. For example, Alex Kosik\u2019s lecture on Technology Entrepreneurship at the University campus has been recorded and viewed 39,112 times.\nBefore and during the Samara Startup bootcamp competition finale, CRDF Global experts mentored twelve pre-selected startup teams in group sessions and or via individual coaching. Bootcamp participants learned how to identify market problems (market pain) that a certain innovation can solve, how to refine business model, identify customers, and sources of seed funding. The three best teams received awards of various sizes, namely, online mentorship support for 20, 10, and 5 hours, respectively.\n\u201cThe most important thing that a person has is his time and mentoring and communicating with such cool speakers as Alex and Catherine helps to greatly reduce the time for the typical mistakes of any startup,\u201d says Aleksandr. \u201cThe autumn event with CRDF Global was amazingly successful. We saw it as an opportunity to test the idea for project initiators and those who just want to start innovating. After, we had a record \u2013 more than 120 applicants \u2013 for participation in the Fast and Furious Accelerator 3.\u201d\nPrior to the Startup Samara event CRDF Global\u2019s team of experts took part in the region\u2019s largest business angel/technology entrepreneurship event \u201cVolga Angels\u201d on September 7-9, 2018. This particular event, Volga Angels, The International Summit of Early Stage Investors, brought together more than 200 participants from 22 countries around the world. Included in these participants were representatives of venture funds, large corporations, and development institutions from Russia, Europe, and the United States.\nAleksandr\u2019s journey has taken him back to the United States to Corvallis, Oregon, home of Oregon State University. Aleksandr is participating in Professional Fellows Program (PFP), an exchange program through the Bureau of Education and Cultural in the United States Department of State. PFP participants are placed in 5-6 week fellowships in non-profit organizations, private sector businesses, and government offices across the US for an individually tailored professional development experience. Alexsandr looks forward to employing the skills he learned during the PFP for his peers back home in Samara.",

That, Eastman says, is the real trick of romantic nationalists, who can gloss over economics and history to call for the creation of a state that they themselves may one day lead.\nGintaras Duda, Ph.D., associate professor of physics, attended and presented at the 2015 Physics Education Research Conference and 2015 Summer American Association of Physics Teachers Meeting, both in College Park, Md.\nOn Oct. 2, Creighton University\u2019s Asian World Center hosted the inaugural East-West Studies Conference on the campus of the University of Nebraska at Omaha.

        "title": "A Three-pronged Approach to Increasing eIDAS Trust Services Uptake",
        "raw_content": "A Three-pronged Approach to Increasing eIDAS Trust Services Uptake\neIDAS Trust Service Providers\nThe last few months have been exciting for all stakeholders involved in the implementation and use of the eIDAS toolbox. Some important milestones have been reached and new initiatives are taking off. However, to really increase the uptake of eIDAS enabled services, a three-pronged approach is needed to really bolster the main growth drivers. This approach is based on the feedback received from the various respondents in a recent ENISA survey and its accompanying report.\nIntegrating the Services\nThe first prong is integration, which needs to happen at several levels. Firstly, the national level approach taken by various EU countries towards trust services or eIDs previously needs to be harmonized. This standardization would make things easier for all stakeholders and would really allow the governments to improve their own service levels and delivery.\nSecondly, the integration needs to happen between the various market participants. Developers, service providers, consultants, businesses, regulators etc., need to work together to achieve integration at the business level.\nFinally, integration of trust services and eID needs to happen at the level of individual business processes. This would make the benefits apparent to users in their daily lives.\nAny services or application that is designed to be used by the mass market needs to focus on the user experience (UX). This enhanced UX is what has driven the success of various mobile and digital platforms. Along with interoperability and security, usability is one the most important elements of modern service delivery and critical to increasing eID and trust services uptake.\nThe second aspect of this is providing training and creating awareness about the capabilities and features of trust services.\nAll stakeholders like enterprises, citizens, governments and organisations must be targeted with appropriate informational campaigns and their understanding enhanced through webinars, infographics, videos and other tools. Having a harmonized approach to electronic identification and trusts services across the various EU countries would go a long way in increasing usability as stakeholders don\u2019t have to grapple with varying approaches.\nTo increase the uptake of trust services and electronic identification, it is essential to create the necessary environment which means a combination of standards, applications and compatible services. There are large chunks of commercial and public sector services that have low-digitization and bringing them into the 21st century would be a huge boost to the goal of the Digital Single Market and eIDAS based services can obviously then play a greater role there.\nInnovation must also be encouraged and new service synergies must be explored like the use of eIDAS trust services in things like eSeals, eTimestamps, eInvoicing, advanced biometric electronic signatures, use cases for IoT devices, blockchain based eID systems and so on. Related directives like the Revised Payment Services Directive (PSD2) also provides a great many opportunities to make full use of the eID tools and trusts services enabled by eIDAS.\nThis three-pronged approach of integrating, enhancing and building can go a long way towards promoting the adoption of electronic IDs and trusts services enabled by eIDAS. Eventually though, it simply boils down to creating awareness, providing a delightful and safe user experience, and creating the necessary technical environment for these technologies to flourish.\nOther Related Articles: # eIDAS # Trust Service Providers",

The rigorous research and development activities involved in the making of innovative face masks are themselves favoring the growth of the market. According to a research report by Crystal Market Reports, the global market for sheet face masks was valued at USD160.4 Million in 2015 and is poised to progress at a CAGR of 8.7% from 2016 to 2025, reaching USD366 Million by 2025. The rising global population and their increasing demand for beauty and cosmetic products are significantly contributing to the growth of the global sheet face masks market. The rising need for products for skin tightening and anti-aging among the elderly population is providing a fillip to the market. Changing weather patterns, which are causing skin damages, are also translating into the greater uptake of sheet face masks globally.\nTextile fabrics that are made by man and don't exist on their own are known are called as synthetic textile fibers\nTextile fabrics that are made by man and don't exist on their own are known are called as synthetic textile fibers. Rayon, olefin, spandex, nylon, lyocell, polylactide, lurex, luminex, ingeo, acrylic, aramid, polyester, tencel, acetate, are a few of the commonly used synthetic textile fibres. Synthetic fibres have come into existence because of the unrelenting and deep researches that many scientists conducted in the recent past. They are manufactured mainly by extrusion. When synthetic fibres were not into use, textile fibres were manufactured from cellulose that is derived from plants. Also, it is mandatory for textile manufacturers to give every detail of the textile content while labelling their products. The information provided is then forwarded to test textiles in different scenarios and to check if they meet the safety norms.\nGlobal beauty care market\nThe global beauty care market is primarily subdivided into three major categories: Hair care, Skin care and Cosmetic care. Although each segment is complimentary to one another, there is considerable diversity within the categories as they cater to different consumer needs and expectations. The market can be further classified into premium and mass production segments, based on brand prestige, pricing and the distribution channel used. In 2010, the mass segment of the global beauty care market comprised more than XX percent, while the premium segment accounted for nearly XX percent of total sales. Recent trends indicate that the sale of premium products is steadily on the rise in key emerging markets. The bulk of global premium cosmetics sales is concentrated in the developed markets such as the USA, Japan and France.",

The first phase of the project was to define the body of knowledge that makes up software engineering. The pilot study was completed in March 1997. Because of a number of pressures, a task force charged with translating the body of knowledge, as defined in the pilot study, into academic programs in software engineering was formed. This group took as its initial task the specification of accreditation criteria that would be appropriate for an undergraduate software engineering program. A draft of the guidelines has recently been completed. This talk will focus on the recommended criteria for software engineering, and compare this effort to existing criteria of both the Computing Sciences Accreditation Board (CSAB) and the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). Consideration will also be given to showing how this effort will lead to the development of a model program in the software engineering area, and to additional academic program that are indicated as needed by the pilot study.

        "raw_content": "Merce Cunningham Dance Company at the Joyce\nMar 27, 2011 by Andy Horwitz\tin Dance\nSaturday night took us to the Joyce where we were fortunate enough to see one of the final performances of the Merce Cunningham Dance Company before it disbands in December. The program consisted of three pieces \u2013 CRWDSPCR (1993), Quartet (1982), and Antic Meet (1958).\nAfter hearing about Merce\u2019s company and his influence for so many years it was a thrill to actually see the work performed live. It also felt like a history lesson. It was interesting to see how his work evolved over the years in the course of one night, and it was easy to see how much Merce influenced today\u2019s dance world. The movement vocabulary, the spacing, the costumes, even the choice and role of the music all point to today.\nWatching Merce\u2019s company was like watching the urtext of contemporary dance \u2013 it is one of the main sources of everything we see today and in a strange way the experience of watching it is like deja vu \u2013 you\u2019ve seen it all before but you aren\u2019t sure where. And then you realize you\u2019ve seen it all before everywhere, because this is the origin. It was a pleasure to watch such incredibly skilled, precise and athletic dancers bring this esoteric and abstract work to life with emotion, depth and humor.\nI recently read Kyle Gann\u2019s book No Such Thing As Silence, which is all about John Cage and his groundbreaking composition 4\u201933\u201d. The book discusses Cage\u2019s influence and influences \u2013 and briefly touches on his relationship with Cunningham. One of the the things that is exciting about the book is learning about the stew of intellectual and creative activity that was New York in the 50s and 60s.\nWatching Antic Meet from 1958 was like a remarkable trip back in time. With music by Cage and decor by Robert Rauschenberg complementing Cunningham\u2019s choreography, it was as if we were magically transported to a time when these ideas about art where new, exciting and challenging. Humor and intellect combine with abstraction and athleticism to create a work that must have been startling to witness at the time.\nCRWDSPCR with music by John King and Quartet with music by David Tudor were equally compelling. The abstract soundscapes worked in surprising consonance with Cunningham\u2019s geometric movements.\nI\u2019ll be honest, I need to read more to be able to write about this with any kind of authority. I can really only speak to the subjective experience of watching the work for the first time. Confronted with so much non-dance dance and so many artists who resist meaning and interpretation, it was rewarding to see dancers dancing beautifully, articulating a new language and mapping out a new landscape of movement. Even if at times the work seemed more historical than contemporary, it still was delightful to watch.\nThere are several more performances of the Cunningham Company scheduled over the next 9 months or so, and it concludes with a season at the Park Avenue Armory. If you get a chance to see this legendary company while they\u2019re on tour, don\u2019t miss it.",

        "raw_content": "Strengthening Of The Dollar Is Becoming A Problem\nBy Kelly Mahan | Feb 22 2017, 9:10am in Money\nSource: Iran-daily\nIt's no surprise that the dollar is getting stronger. However, is that really a good thing? If you look at it on a larger scale, there is no simple answer to that question.\nIf you compare the dollar against other currencies on a global trade-weighted basis, it has strengthened approximately 20% - 25% in 2016. Weeks after Trump's victory, the dollar experienced its sharpest rise. When compared to the 2011 low, the dollar is already 40% up from that point.\nHowever, a lot of experts are saying that the dollar is getting overvalued. In fact, the majority of the professional investors are saying that the US dollar is the \"most crowded trade.\u201d\nThe USD Rally\nOne of the biggest reasons why the dollar is in a rally is because of Trump's administration. Most professional investors are betting that changes in the economic policies will further increase the dollar's value.\nTrump's administration is all about increased infrastructure, fiscal stimulus, and tax cuts. As a result, the Federal Reserve is increasing the fed funds rate. When the Federal Reserve does such a thing, it's usually to stimulate the dollar's appreciation and reduce the inflationary pressure. The Trump administration is also big on policies that center around the restriction of free trade and repatriation of profits, which also boosts the dollar's value.\nOn the other hand, central banks from around the world are adopting strategies that work towards accommodative monetary policies and quantitative easing. This is particularly the case for Bank of Japan and European Central Bank. These countries are printing money to help fuel the local economic. On the downside, printing money will mostly lead to the currency\u2019s devaluation.\nThis further weakening of other currencies further increases the dollar's strength.\nLike all things in life, there's a bad that comes with the good. A strong dollar means it's easier for Americans to buy imports. A strengthening of the dollar is also a good thing as it promotes faith among investors who do business in the United States.\nOn the other hand, American companies that do a lot of exports are getting hurt. This is just how international money flows. Whenever a currency is getting stronger, the country's imports get stronger, and exports get weaker. This is a recipe for a widening trade deficit, which is definitely a bad thing.\nAs the dollar increases, other countries will find it expensive to purchase products produced in the United States. For American exporting companies, profits will reduce, and it would be tough for such companies to compete in the global arena. Even Trump's administration realizes this. According to Trump in an interview, he claimed that the strong U.S. dollar is \"killing us.\"\nAs of the moment, Wall Street analysts are still in the heated debate on who's right. According to Dubravko Lakos-Bujas, a JPMorgan US equity strategist, the strengthening of the dollar is the greatest risk to the global economy in 2017. On the other side of the opinion is the US Treasury Secretary. According to Steven Mnuchin, the short-term effects may be negative, but the long-term gains can offset the bad.",

The Potential Programme is part of the Operational Programme Enterprise and Innovation (OPEI), which is administered by the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Czech Republic (MIT), while CzechInvest handles receipt of applications and general administration of funding.\nThe aim of the Potential Programme is to support the expansion of the number of companies that perform their own research, development and innovation activities. Companies can obtain support for investments involving the establishment or expansion of development centres (departments) focused on research and development of products or technologies, including development of specific software needed for innovation of production which is an inseparable part of products or technologies. \u201cAs its name implies, the aim of this programme is to increase the potential of business entities operating in the Czech Republic and to facilitate their success in the face of European and global competition,\u201d says Alexandra Rudy\u0161arov\u00e1, acting CEO of CzechInvest, commenting on the nature of the Potential Programme.\nThe original allocation for the Potential Programme\u2019s first call was CZK 600 million. However, in light of enterprises\u2019 intense interest in the programme, Minister of Industry and Trade Martin \u0158\u00edman eventually approved an increase of the total amount by CZK 500 million to the final CZK 1.1 billion. The first call for submission of applications within the Potential Programme was announced by the MIT on 25 April 2007; parties interested in applying for aid could submit registration applications to CzechInvest from June to the end of 2007. The period for submitting full applications was from August 2007 until the end of February 2008.\nWithin the first call CzechInvest received 113 full aid applications in which applicants requested CZK 1.9 billion. Aid requests were assessed by 13 evaluation committees, which decided in favour of 69 submitted projects on the basis of predefined criteria. All companies that submitted aid applications in the first call are currently listed in the evaluation results. At the same time, decisions on the provision of aid are being issued to successful projects.\nThose interested in applying for aid from the Potential Programme can submit their registration applications within the second call from March 2008 until the end of September 2009. This time CZK 2.58 billion will allocated to successful applicants. Compared with the already closed first call, a positive change consists in the expansion of the group of possible applicants. In addition to small and medium-sized enterprises, now large enterprises can also receive aid. \u201cAid is available to start-up companies that are backed by a parent company or other entity with a controlling interest and that have closed at least two consecutive accounting periods. Thanks to the Potential Programme, companies can become more competitive from the very beginning of their existence,\u201d adds Rudy\u0161arov\u00e1.\nThe current calls for all programmes within OPEI are gradually being announced in the form of cyclical or, as the case may be, continual calls for submission of aid applications. More detailed information on the calls is available on CzechInvest\u2019s website (http://www.czechinvest.org/podnikani-a-inovace). Information on business-support programmes is also available on the Green Information Line at 800 800 777 weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. In addition, those interested in European programmes can send their queries by e-mail to programy@czechinvest.org. Personal and telephone consultations are provided by CzechInvest\u2019s network of 13 regional offices every weekday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. A list of the agency\u2019s regional offices, which are located in every regional capital, can be downloaded from http://www.czechinvest.org/regionalni-kancelare.",

        "raw_content": "13 questions I\u2019m sick of hearing about my open marriage\nCece Lederer\u2014\nI\u2019ve been with the same man for more than a dozen years. We\u2019re deeply in love. We also have sex with other people. Any questions?\nWhen people ask me about my open marriage, often the conversation ends with the phrase: \u201cMore power to you, but I could never do it.\u201d I feel the same way about people who put on a suit and go into an office every day. Lots of people find nine-to-five jobs fulfilling, and that\u2019s awesome. But they\u2019re probably not for me.\nI\u2019m in favor of anything that makes you happy, and what makes my family happy is something that people tend to condescendingly refer to as an \u201calternative lifestyle.\u201d It\u2019s a phrase that makes me really sad. When people use the phrase \u201calternative lifestyle,\u201d what they\u2019re really saying is: \u201cWhat you\u2019re doing isn\u2019t normal. It\u2019s a threat to traditional values and I\u2019m afraid it will undermine my way of life.\u201d But recently, I\u2019ve become hopeful that my \u201calternative lifestyle\u201d is losing its stigma, because stories like mine are becoming more common every day.\nRobin Rinaldi\u2019s ebook The Wild Oats Project: One Woman\u2019s Midlife Quest for Passion at Any Cost, which documents her year-long experiment with an open marriage, was released last month. And though her experience isn\u2019t exactly like mine\u2014whose could be in the infinite weirdness of human experience?\u2014I can\u2019t help but be super psyched that the tale of her open marriage is getting the warm response it is, with the Library Journal praising Rinaldi\u2019s project as \u201cdaring\u201d and a \u201ctrue page-turner.\u201d\nBy telling her story, Rinaldi is raising awareness of this fairly common yet utterly taboo relationship status. Although her marriage ultimately ended in divorce, her bravery has given me the courage to add the narrative my husband and I have written to the library of love stories. So, once and for all, here are the answers to the questions I am just sick to death of answering about my open relationship. (My husband Miles has also chimed in with his own responses.)\n1) How long have you guys been open?\nMaybe it has to do with the fact that the first time we hooked up, we were in other relationships (sorry, Topher and Mari\u2014you guys were pretty cool, all in all, and you definitely didn\u2019t deserve that).\nWe met my sophomore year and his freshman year of college, and that entire year we denied we were even boyfriend and girlfriend. \u201cWe\u2019re not dating, we\u2019re just having a ton of sex and are together all the time,\u201d we\u2019d tell people. But that summer, we traveled to see each other every weekend. That gave us the harsh reality check: We weren\u2019t just hanging out and having sex, we were in love.\nThe following fall, I studied abroad. We didn\u2019t want to break up, but we didn\u2019t want to miss out on what could happen while we were apart, and cheating and lying is something neither of us wanted to put the other through. We love each other, after all. And who would want to hurt the person they love?\nWhile apart, I hooked up with the guy who played Badger on Breaking Bad. I can\u2019t imagine not sharing that hilarious fact with my best friend.\nThe next year, he went abroad, and the year after, I graduated. Even with all this time apart, I never once worried that we would stop being together. Wanting to have a biological interaction with someone else never seemed like a good enough reason to stop being with the other half of my soul.\nOr, as my husband Miles puts it: \u201cRemember when you were afraid I would dump you because I didn\u2019t like that haircut you got? That would have been more plausible than us breaking up to sleep with other people.\u201d\n2) Whose idea was this \u201carrangement\u201d?\nIt\u2019s not an \u201carrangement.\u201d It\u2019s our relationship. We didn\u2019t decide on this any more than we decided he would usually do the dishes and I would usually clean the tub. It just happened this way. There was never a \u201clet\u2019s be open\u201d conversation. There was just never a \u201clet\u2019s not be open\u201d conversation either.\n3) What are the rules?\nThere aren\u2019t really rules, but we use common sense. No one gets sexiled from the apartment. We change the sheets if we dirty them. We often, but not always, try to schedule dates on the same night, which works pretty well as long as one of us is home in time to walk the dogs. Miles says he\u2019s noticed that the dogs always suck up to our boyfriends/girlfriends. He thinks they may be bigger sluts than we are.\n4) Do you guys tell each other everything?\nPretty much. For instance, I told him about the first time I tried butt sex, and he still teases me about it, if that\u2019s what you mean.\n\u201cThat was hilarious,\u201d says Miles.\n5) Do you ever meet each other\u2019s boyfriends/girlfriends/friends with benefits?\nYeah, but some of them are cooler about it than others. For instance, I dated this one guy for a while who was insanely jealous of my husband. He always talked about what could have been if he\u2019d met me first. Once, I invited him out to a party we were both going to, and he wouldn\u2019t leave my side for a second, and the next day bitched heavily to me that my spouse hadn\u2019t been nice enough to him. It was really uncomfortable and definitely contributed to my ending it.\nMiles says he really liked hanging out with this one dude I\u2019ve been seeing lately, \u201cbut then again I can happily watch old episodes of The Simpsons with just about any human being.\u201d\n6) Don\u2019t you get jealous?\nSometimes, I guess. But jealousy isn\u2019t unique to our relationship. I\u2019d be willing to wager that there\u2019s less jealousy in a relationship where there is no chance of anyone being cheated on than one where there\u2019s a constant danger of that happening.\nAnd sex is never the basis of the jealousy. I actually kinda like knowing that my husband is out there treating another woman well. Few straight women get to go out with hard-fuckin\u2019 feminists like my husband. and I\u2019m all about spreading the joy. I feel like if girls see that guys like my husband exist, they might not settle for someone shitty.\nMiles feels similarly: \u201cIt\u2019s hot when you\u2019re with other dudes,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s hot when you have that freedom. I get nothing out of possessiveness. I value your independence.\u201d\n7) Aren\u2019t you afraid it\u2019s not sustainable long term?\nWhy wouldn\u2019t it be? We\u2019ve been together for thirteen years. Why would something that\u2019s been working for well over a decade just stop working all of a sudden? Plus, isn\u2019t there, like, a huge chance that a monogamous marriage will also end in divorce? Yes, there totally is (nearly 40 to 50 percent, according to current American Psychological Association statistics).\n8) Why would you guys choose to have sex with other people? Is the sex in the marriage not good?\nOn the contrary, sex with my husband gets better every day. (If you don\u2019t believe me, we actually have statistical evidence of our mutual satisfaction.) After more than a decade together, not only do we know each other\u2019s bodies as well as our own, but we also keep learning new tricks and moves.\nAfter all, the first time we had sex, we\u2019d each only ever had sex with one other person. Now we have more than 24 years of cumulative sexual experience to share with each other. Maybe things would have been different if we\u2019d met our soul mates at 50 instead of as teenagers. But you only get one life, and this is how ours is playing out.\n9) There must be something you\u2019re looking for outside the marriage. What is it?\nI like talking to people whose lives are different than mine. I like hearing their stories and trying to figure out what makes them tick. The adrenaline rush of going out to a bar and looking for a stranger to bring home is lost on me. I just like going out and meeting new people.\nMiles feels the same way. \u201cI\u2019d rather make out with a friend I\u2019ve known a good long while when we\u2019re both a bit drunk and in a good mood,\u201d he says.\nIn short, I\u2019m not looking for anything. I just am.\n10) If you\u2019re in an open relationship, why would you get married in the first place?\nThe answer to this question is simple. I woke up one day and realized I\u2019d been madly in love with the same person for eight years. I remember the moment clearly: I was sitting on the toilet, peeing with the door open in the studio apartment we shared with two dogs for two years, and I thought \u201cI never, ever want to be apart from this person.\u201d So I asked him to marry me while he was brushing his teeth, and through the lather of his toothpaste he said, \u201cYeh.\u201d\nOur wedding was a pool party. There were only 12 guests. I have never had more fun in my life. And really, isn\u2019t that the only reason people get married in the first place? To throw a big party and celebrate their lives together in front of all their friends and loved ones? I think Miles said it best with this tweet:\nalso we want to be together a really long time and thought it would be cool to have a party about that with all our friends\n\u2014 badvent calendar (@MilesKlee) April 6, 2015\n11) Would you ever become monogamous?\nMaybe. I never thought I\u2019d try cocaine and I did. Though I can\u2019t really imagine what else could possibly change in our lives that would make us want to. Miles says he\u2019d become monogamous if and only if he were running for president\u2014\u201cbut actually, not even then.\u201d\n12) How do I get my significant other to do this with me?\nI have no idea! I\u2019m not in your relationship. But all kidding aside, an open relationship isn\u2019t something you can just coerce someone into.\n\u201cI\u2019ve heard of one-sided non-monogamy working, but usually when the other party wasn\u2019t invested in sex at all,\u201d says Miles. If that\u2019s not the case in your relationship, then an open marriage might not be for you.\n13) Why do you wear a ring?\nMiles doesn\u2019t wear a ring, because he says he\u2019s \u201cjust not a jewelry guy.\u201d But I do, and I hate it when people ask me this question.\nThe long answer is that when we told our parents we were getting married, my dad gave me his mother\u2019s ring. It\u2019s really cool and art deco. I\u2019m named after her, and she smuggled it across the ocean during the Holocaust.\nWe didn\u2019t exchange rings during our ceremony, and I never thought I\u2019d wear one while I was married, but I still wear the ring to this day, because it\u2019s an object I love that is pretty and it makes me feel close to my family. My ring isn\u2019t about sexual fidelity, it\u2019s about love and family.\nThe short answer: \u201cBecause it\u2019s my goddamned right to wear a motherfucking ring, you nosy asshole.\u201d\nPhoto via Kumon/Flickr (CC BY 2.0)\nCece Lederer is a journalist and former television writer from New York who wrote about entertainment, lifestyle, and comedy for the Daily Dot.

Though it seems like quite the coincidence that his pants would seemingly spontaneously combust while defending spontaneous combustion.\nGutierrez was representing Claudy Charles, 48, who is accused of intentionally setting his car on fire in South Miami-Dade. He had just started his closing arguments when the fire broke out. Jurors convicted Charles anyway of second-degree arson.\nMiami-Dade Circuit Judge Michael Hanzman, in the coming days, could decide to hold Gutierrez in contempt of court.\nThe 28-year-old lawyer graduated from Florida International University\u2019s law school in 2015.\nWith millions of users across the country, e-cigarettes deliver vaporized nicotine through a heated liquid solution.

Now, he\u2019s sometimes being labeled the best player not to win a major.\n\u201cAm I? I don\u2019t know. I guess you have to look at someone\u2019s career and see how they\u2019ve done in majors and everything,\u201d said Garcia, who will try again when he tees off today in the British Open. \u201cI couldn\u2019t really answer that question.\n\u201cI don\u2019t really care (about the label),\u201d he added, then revised his statement. \u201cI would love to get rid of it, yes.\u201d\nTaught by his father, Victor, Garcia has been playing golf since he was 3 years old, and won a club title at 12. As a teenager, he won 19 amateur events as well as one pro competition. He made the cut in 12 of the 18 European Tour events he played before turning pro and, carrying the nickname \u201cEl Nino,\u201d showed all the signs that he would be winning majors before he was much into his 20s.\nIt just hasn\u2019t happened. Garcia has now played 40 majors without a triumph.\n\u201cWe all have a chance of winning a major. I\u2019ve had a couple,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s just a matter of seeing if happens at that time or who you go against. Unfortunately my chance in \u201999, it was against the best player in the world (Woods) and I came up a little short. But I\u2019m still working hard to get that first major.\u201d\nStill, Garcia says he is happy with his accomplishments so far \u2014 seven tournament victories on the PGA Tour and six on the European.\n\u201cNot many people can say they have been the No. 2 player in the world at their sport,\u201d he said. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of people out there in the world.\u201d\nAt Turnberry, Scotland.\nCourse: Turnberry, Ailsa Course (7,204 yards, par 70).\nPurse: $6.82 million.

        "raw_content": "Movie review: Tragedy of Mussolini\u2019s secret\u2026\nMovie review: Tragedy of Mussolini\u2019s secret wife, kid\nFilippo Timi as Benito Mussolini and Giovanna Mezzogiorno as Ida Dalser in \u201cVincere.\u201d\nPUBLISHED: March 31, 2010 at 11:59 am | UPDATED: May 6, 2016 at 5:21 pm\nOne of the most surprising things about watching the wrenching \u201cVincere,\u201d the story of Ida Dalser, Mussolini\u2019s secret wife, his first-born son, Benito, is that when the relationship went sour and Ida just wouldn\u2019t let it rest, that Il Duce just didn\u2019t have her killed.\nThough Ida\u2019s life would become a torturous hell spent locked away in an insane asylum, the legacy left by her letters has made for an intense and intriguing, if at times uneven, film with Italian director Marco Bellocchio wringing every drop of emotion out of his actors and his audience before it is over.\nThe passion is palpable from the first frame as Ida, played with exquisite anger by Giovanna Mezzogiorno, first spots Mussolini (Filippo Timi in frightening form). Watch in hand, he\u2019s giving God five minutes to prove his existence by challenging the almighty to strike him dead \u2014 an early glimpse of the facile manipulator he would become \u2014 while she\u2019s just a face in the crowd.\nThe story unfolds on two levels \u2014 the personal and the public \u2014 with Bellocchio moving between the two to sometimes confusing effect. To tell of the growing unrest in Italy and Mussolini\u2019s rise along with the Fascist Party, he delves into the troves of archival footage, understanding how potent those historical images could be and how impossibly costly they would have been to re-create.\nBellocchio has long been intrigued by politics and political figures, and he brings all that to bear in \u201cVincere,\u201d giving the film a sense of historic authority.\nThe film suggests the final rift came when political life forced Mussolini to choose between Ida and the woman who would become his public wife. Ida was suddenly an inconvenience who quickly became an issue as she tried to assert her rights, demanding recognition for herself and her son.\nAnd for a time, Mussolini did acknowledge the child though eventually the birth records would be lost and the page in the parish registry that is thought to have recorded Ida\u2019s marriage would be torn out and destroyed.\nMezzogiorno channels the passion of their torrid affair into unrelenting defiance. There is a moment when one of the nuns in the asylum leaves the door of her cell open. She scoops up all the letters she\u2019s written to officials decrying her plight and throws them through the bars and out into a snowy night. As the letters fall with the snow, hope should die as well, but there is an electricity in Mezzogiorno\u2019s portrayal that makes real this woman who would neither bend nor break to Mussolini\u2019s will.\nAlmost as powerful on screen is Timi, who is chilling as Mussolini, making his charisma come to life with a force that makes his iron-fisted hold over a woman, as well as a country, understandable. What is even more affecting is later in the film, when Timi steps into the role of Ida\u2019s son as a young man. Like his mother, Benito becomes an irritation and is also locked away.\nBellocchio builds this tragedy bit by bit, infusing the facts with a searing humanity. Ida would be asked to recant her claims throughout her life. She never did.\n\u201cVINCERE.\u201d\nNot rated In Italian and German with English subtitles. 2 hours, 8 minutes. Written and directed by Marco Bellocchio; starring Filippo Timi, Giovanna Mezzogiorno, Corrado Invernizzi, Fausto Russo Alesi, Michela Cescon and Pier Giorgio Bellocchio. Opens today at the Mayan.",

Chichester-Clarke MP, Moyola Park, Castledawson, was drowned in the Moyola River during the gale.\nIt\u2019s believed the teenager had just got into a rowing boat when it capsized. The oars were seen coming over the weir followed by the young man\u2019s body.\nAt its peak, at around 1.30 p.m., the winds reached 103 miles per hour.\nThis was the highest ever recorded at Ballykelly RAF Station since it went into operation in the early months of World War II.\nThroughout the duration of the gale, winds ranged from 80 to 90 miles per hour.\nIrish Street in the Waterside suffered most in the hurricane.\n\u201cIt was like a miniature blitz,\u201d said one resident whose home was wrecked when struck by sections of a flying roof lifted by the storm from a nearby school.\nThe storm inflicted damage in practically every street in the city.\nThousands of slates fell, windows were blown out, ridge tiles and other parts of houses were dislodged and scores of trees were uprooted.\nThe wind raged for several hours, but the greatest damage occurred within a five minute period at the height of the storm when, according to the \u2018Journal\u2019, the gale took on all the appearances of a \u201cwhirlwind\u201d.\nIt was at this stage that an aluminium roof over the rear section of Clondermott School was lifted into the air with its supports attached to it.\nPart of it struck the school water tower while another part smashed through the steel fencing and brickwork bounding the school at Irish Street, crossing the road and tearing down a lamppost.\nAnother section of uprooted roof devastated an end house in Irish Street. Fortunately, this was an unoccupied one-storey building.\nMore than 50 people were treated at Altnagelvin Hospital for injuries sustained during the gale.\nThe hospital itself fell victim to the gale-force winds. At one stage, its power supply was cut off and emergency generators driven by diesel engines had to be brought into action.\nMany windows in the 13-storey building were blown in, and nurses in the upper storeys had to be spend a lot of time calming patients frightened by the gale.\nTwo car parked at the hospital were hurled a distance of 40 yards while visitors arriving by bus were knocked off their feet as they made their way up the driveway.\nWhen St. Columb\u2019s Hospital became isolated through falling trees blocking the approaches, policemen took off their coats and helped Derry Corporation employees in the work of removing the trees.\nParts of the rural district, including Eglinton and Ardmore, had an electricity blackout.\nWhen Edward McDermott, of Walker\u2019s Place, heard bricks falling from the chimney stack of his home, he and his wife and four children went to a friend\u2019s house at Nailors Row.\nLess than an hour later, the chimney stack of their house crashed through the roof into an upstairs room.\nFor quite a while during the gale, most of the roads in and out of Derry were blocked by fallen trees.\nHMS Sea Eagle sent a working party of thirty ratings to help clear the Limavady Road, where 22 trees fell in a half mile stretch.\nAll in all, Hurricane Debbie was a one-off - a natural phenomenon. Compared to the viciousness of Debbie, recent gales have been but mere gusts.",

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb Difference Between Guttation and Transpiration\nDifference Between Guttation and Transpiration\nGuttation vs Transpiration\nPlant absorbs a large amount of water irrespective of their daily requirements. But only 1% of this amount is utilized by plants while 99 % is lost from the aerial parts of the plant. The water is lost either in the form water vapor or rarely in liquid form. Depending on the form of water (liquid or vapor), two terms are used to explain the way of loosing water. They\u2019re transpiration and guttation. These two ways of loosing water can be either good or bad, depending on the surround environmental factors.\nWhat is Guttation?\nGuttation is the direct loss of water from the aerial parts of living plants in the form of liquid. It can be seen occurring at night and in the early hours of the morning in herbaceous plants growing under high soil moisture and high humidity conditions. When root pressure is high and transpiration is low, the water in plants is forced out in the form of drops through special pores in tips of leaves called hydathodes.\nThe loss of water from aerial parts of a living plant in the form of water vapor is known as transpiration. This mainly occurs during the daytime and has a cooling effect on plants. There are three types of transpiration, depending on the place where it takes place; namely, stomatal transpiration, curticular transpiration, and lenticular transpiration.\nStomatal transpiration occurs through the stomata and contributes about 80 to 90 % to the total transpiration. The rest of 10 to 20 % occurs through the other two types. Curticular transpiration takes place through the cuticle of leaves and herbaceous stems. The rate of cuticular transpiration is inversely proportional to the thickness of the cuticle. Lenticular transpiration contributes the lowest amount to the total transpiration of a plant, which is about 0.1 %. Lenticular transpiration takes place through the loosely arranged mass of cells in the bark of stem, known as lenticels.\nTranspiration is essential for a plant as it helps in keeping the temperature low, distribution of water throughout the plant, and rapid translocation of minerals and water through the xylem. Transpiration often produces water defects in plants due to the high water loss. The main factors affecting transpiration are light, humidity, air temperature, wind, and available soil water.\nWhat is the difference between Guttation and Transpiration?\n\u2022 In guttation, water is lost in the form of liquid whereas, in transportation, it is lost in the form of water vapor.\n\u2022 Transportation occurs during the daytime while guttation occurs mainly during the night time.\n\u2022 Guttated water contains salts and sugars, whereas transpired water does not.\n\u2022 Guttation occurs through the hydathodes on leaf tips while transportation takes place mainly through stomata.\n\u2022 Transpiration has a cooling effect on plants, whereas guttation does not.\n\u2022 Transpiration is a controlled process, whereas guttation is not.\n\u2022 Guttation depends on root pressure while transpiration does not.\nDifference Between Transportation and Translocation Difference Between Infiltration and Percolation Difference Between Habitat and Ecosystem Difference Between Compound Eyes and Simple Eyes Difference Between Cerebrum and Cerebral Cortex\nFiled Under: Biology Tagged With: Guttation, transpiration\nDifference Between Physician and Doctor\nDifference Between Honeycomb Motorolo Xoom and Android Dell Streak 7 Tablet\nDifference Between Qualcomm Snapdragon S2 and Snapdragon S3",

        "raw_content": "Each year there are changes that need to be made in the way that organizations manage their IT security. In 2017, ransomware burst on the scene in full force, and cyber security strategies reacted, coming up with fully managed security platform that remediate issues better, and cost organizations far more than they would have spent on IT security just a short time ago. In 2018, the same problems persist, while other developing technologies threaten the natural order of things. Today, we will look at how cybersecurity is being approached in 2018.\nOh, Well, Yeah...Ransomware is Still a Plague\nIf you were to be one of the unfortunate organizations to have to deal with a ransomware attack, you would be dealing with about as difficult a situation as you would as a business owner. If, for some reason you don\u2019t know what ransomware is, it is a computer virus that encrypts data and then demands ransom to unlock the data before it is deleted forever. In 2018, ransomware stepped up its game. In crippling the city of Atlanta\u2019s internal network with the SamSam ransomware, hackers upped the ante. The general strategy is not to pay hackers, but in the case of Atlanta, what could have been $52,000 has cost the taxpayers upwards of $17 million to remedy; and, they didn\u2019t get much of the data back.\nThat\u2019s exactly how devastating ransomware can be to any organization\u2019s network. In 2018, ransomware kept coming for businesses, and now, with ransomware now being deployed through Internet of things devices, the situation is getting worse and worse. This new deployment technique is a major problem. Since ransomware is typically allowed onto the network, not placed there through infiltration, it makes the threat one that is going to be here long after the calendar shifts to 2019.\nNefarious A.I. Threatens Businesses\nFor the past couple of years, security professionals have been utilizing deep learning computing systems to try and mitigate threats. This has led to a whole industry of A.I.-based network security being pushed to organizations. But like any other defensive weapon, it can eventually be developed as an offensive weapon. Hackers are now beginning to utilize these complex computing systems to create ingenious methods of deploying devastating malware. This could be the next step in the evolution of malware.\nMore dangerous than A.I. systems finding places to deploy malware are A.I. systems that create malware. Introduced in 2018, a malware called DeepLocker is an A.I.-powered malware that is carried along by applications and is just dormant code until it reaches a specific victim, who is identified through a series of factors (including facial recognition, geolocation, voice recognition, or specific data flow). Once the target has been acquired, DeepLocker launches its attack. IBM is on record stating that the malware is \u201calmost impossible to reverse engineer.\u201d This doesn\u2019t bode well for security professionals going forward.\nWhat Role Will the GDPR Actually Have?\nSince going into effect in May, the European Union\u2019s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has had a major effect on marketing companies from all over the world. The rush to get ready for the deployment of the data protection law has left a lot of \u201ci\u201ds not dotted and a lot of \u201ct\u201ds not crossed. In fact, according to Forrester, it is expected that around 80 percent of businesses will fail to comply with these new regulations.\nThe problem for businesses isn\u2019t so much their non-compliance, it is the cost of compliance. For a lot of American businesses, it is difficult to consider spending money you don\u2019t have trying to meet compliance requirements from a legislative organization that your country isn\u2019t a part of. Only time will tell if their lack of foresight will be more costly than their strategy of defiance. With many of the points in the GDPR now under consideration in state congresses, however it may be only a short time before we see the answer.\nIs your business ready for everything that is being thrown at it? If not, contact the IT professionals at Digital Seattle today at (206) 709-9556.\nData Security Malware",

        "raw_content": "You Wouldn't Sober, You Shouldn't Drunk\nUnwanted sexual attention on a night out ranges from verbal harassment, grabbing & groping, to more serious sexual assault\nWhat ruins a good night out?\nWe all know that a night out is meant to be a laugh. But, unfortunately, too many of them are ruined by unwanted, intimidating sexual advances from people who are drunk. Some people think that it\u2019s OK to grab and grope strangers on a night out after a few drinks. But there are still limits, and being drunk is not an excuse.\nIf you wouldn\u2019t do it when you\u2019re sober, you shouldn\u2019t do it when you\u2019re drunk.\nJust over a third of women (35%) and 9% of men have reported receiving unwanted sexual contact on a night out1. These range from things like grabbing and groping, to serious sexual assaults. Far too often this kind of intimidating behaviour is simply accepted as part of a \u2018night out\u2019 but can often lead to fights and both men and women have reported this ruining their night.2\nWhat's the difference between flirting and harassment?\nHarassment can include:\nUnwanted touching or groping\nPersistent pestering\nTaking photographs without permission\nUnwanted attempts to kiss someone\nFollowing a person around, or refusing to leave them alone\nPeople exposing themselves publically\nPerpetrators of harassment may try and cover up their behaviour by calling it \u2018flirting\u2019, \u2018banter\u2019 or \u2018a laugh\u2019. The difference between flirting and harassment is consent.\nConsent is when a person agrees to something by choice and has both the freedom and mental capacity (i.e. is aware of and understands what is happening) to make a choice.\nFlirting involves consenting to someone else\u2019s attention, but consent can be taken away at any time.\nJust because someone has been given consent in the past, doesn\u2019t mean they automatically get it again.\nYou wouldn't sober. You shouldn't drunk\nIt\u2019s time we put an end to unwanted drunken sexual harassment.

McGann's resignation, Bishop McHugh became the third bishop of Rockville Centre; he was welcomed into his cathedral on January 21, 2000.\nBishop McHugh belonged to several professional associations including the National Council on Family Relations, the American Sociological Association, the Catholic Theological Society of America, the Population Association of American and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He was invested into the American Association of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta in January, 2000.",

North Wales, PA 19454\nDVT is a proud chapter oF\nINQUIRIES: Contact Director: Dave Hutchison, DIRECTOR@DVTR.ORG, 215-527-1409 (CELL)\nThe Delaware Valley Triumphs, Ltd (DVT) Club was organized in 1977 for the benefit of Triumph owners and enthusiasts in the Philadelphia/Delaware Valley area. Membership is open to all who appreciate automobiles bearing the Triumph name. The club's primary goal is to provide a forum for the preservation, restoration, and enjoyment of the Triumph marque. The DVT is a chapter of the national Vintage Triumph Register.\nThe history of the Vintage Triumph Register and Delaware Valley Triumph, Ltd are intertwined. Organized in 1976, through the efforts of Richard Langworth, a noted automotive journalist, DVT became one of the first VTR chapters. Richard is well known in Triumph and classic car circles. At the time, he was editor of VTR's \"The Vintage Triumph\", senior editor of \"Automobile Quarterly\" and author of \"Trundling Along with Triumph\", a history of the Triumph marque.\nWith VTR only two years old in 1976, Richard's goal was to establish a network of local chapters. In August of 1976, the New Hope Auto Show featured its first all-Triumph class. Richard served as a judge and used this show to recruit prospective members. Seven Triumphs were judged that day, including Langworth's Dolomite, and current member Mike Wolf's TR3.\nTech Session, 1977\nTwo months later, approximately a dozen Triumph enthusiasts, including current members Mike Wolf, Ron and Peg Hoinowski, and Charles Frick met at Richard's home for an organizational meeting. The meeting began with a road rally followed by \"Ploughman's lunch\", Whitbread beer, and the viewing of Triumph factory films of Le Mans and the Jabbeke Highway run of 1953. The Delaware Valley Triumph, Ltd charter was signed that day, October 17, 1976.\nRichard Langworth served as the first President; there was also a Treasurer, Newsletter Editor (\"TRundlin' TRiumphs\"), and Events Director who planned the first Christmas Party, previously the \"Holiday Party\", and now known as the \"Winter Party\" because it has moved to the Sunday before the Super Bowl. DVT grew rapidly and five years later by 1982, had 70 active members. From its humble beginnings, and primarily covering eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware (the Delaware Valley), the club now boasts nearly 200 members.\nDVT Summer Picnic, late 1970's\nDVT has participated in national Triumph Motoring events for the past 37 years. The annual DVT Summer Picnic began in 1979 at a member's home, and to this day continues that tradition. The club also hosts its annual spring Car Show titled \"Cars and Motorcycles of England\" (previously called \"Brits Are Back\") at the Oakbourne Mansion, in Westtown Township.\nDVT Summer Picnic, 2014\nDVT is a very active organization. In 2016, we sponsored 60 events, including two monthly Sunday breakfasts, in two locations, and a monthly evening meeting (get together or \"GTR\"). We have car shows, rally's, tech sessions, many road trips, museum visits, restoration shop visits, photo shoots, auto show visits, auto auction visits, hill climb visits, weekday retiree drives, Fall Getaway weekends, summer picnics and BBQ's. Additionally we participate in other shows or events held by brother British Clubs, such as MG and Jaguar. Some members also attend the annual Vintage Triumph Register (VTR) and Triumph Register of America (TRA), national conventions held in various locations around the country. Members have driven to conventions in California, Illinois, Maine, Michigan, New York, Virginia, West Virginia, Texas, and North Carolina to name a few locations over the years. Our own club was the host for the 2007 Vintage Triumph Register National Convention, held in Valley Forge and will host this event again this August of 2017. Over 325 Triumphs drove from across the US and Canada, to attend the four-day show. For the past 13 years, nearly twenty-five intrepid members, in groups as small as two, and as large as fifteen, have gone beyond our shores to visit England, to attend Coventry area Classic Car Shows, tour automotive history museums, and tour active automotive factories.",

Picture: KEIRON TOVELL\nTwo of Norfolk and Suffolk\u2019s foremost tourism and hospitality businessmen have become the new president and chairman of the region\u2019s tourism organisation.\nLord Leicester of Holkham becomes president and Dr Andy Wood chief executive of Adnams of Southwold, becomes chairman of Visit East of England, formerly known as Visit East Anglia.\nLord Leicester said: \u201cI\u2019m delighted to be the organisation\u2019s new president. The visitor side of my family\u2019s own business, Holkham Hall and Estate enterprise, has increased enormously in the past few years, so I am very aware of its importance to the region as the largest sector and one of the main employers.\n\u201cThis is an exciting time for tourism and I look forward to working with the industry to continue its success.\u201d\nDr Wood said: \u201cThere is a big agenda to tackle, not least encouraging skills development and training, improving the perception of the industry, growing the year-round visitor economy and attracting more overseas visitors, particularly post-Brexit when we must ensure that we are seen as a welcoming and attractive destination.\u201d\n\u201cWorking with partners and stakeholders in the sector, particularly the transport providers, gateways and local enterprise partnership, we want to ensure the East of England becomes a more top-of-mind destination. We must also work together to offer a collective voice when we are talking to government and national visitor organisations.\u201d\nThe rebranding of Visit East Anglia as Visit East of England will include the launch of a new website in the New Year, working closely with the New Anglia Cultural Board.\nExecutive director Pete Waters said: \u201cThis is great news for the region\u2019s tourism industry and will give us the higher profile we need to represent the sector\u2019s interests and help address its many challenges.\n\u201cIt is important that this region has a credible, authoritative voice for its visitor economy, particularly at a time when a sector deal with the government is on the horizon.\n\u201cOur objectives continue to be converting day trippers to stay visitors and raising the overall tide of tourism towards the high-water mark of summer, but as Visit East of England we also want to work with the sector to create careers for life and growth opportunities.\u201d\nDoug Field, chair of New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership said: \u201cTourism is worth more than \u00a35bn per year to Norfolk and Suffolk\u2019s economy. But more than that, our visitor and cultural assets are a vital part of our identity and offer to the world. We look forward to working even more closely with Visit East of England to support the sector to achieve even greater success in the future.\n\u201cThe arrival of Lord Leicester and Andy Wood as president and chairman is a huge boost for Visit East of England.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Baltimore City Public Schools (City Schools) is the fourth-largest school district in Maryland. In 2010, culminating recent successes, City Schools received the Award for Urban School Board Excellence from the Council of Urban Boards of Education.\nIn November 2010, after nine months of negotiations, City Schools' teachers ratified a new contract that changes how Baltimore City teachers are compensated and allows school communities to shape key aspects of the operations at their schools, reflecting the strong commitment\u2014by both teachers and district leaders\u2014to build on recent student achievement gains. Teachers had turned down an earlier version of the contract, saying that it was short on details. A month of meetings between Baltimore Teachers Union (BTU) officials and teachers followed, and the parties returned to the bargaining table to refine a contract that teachers then overwhelmingly supported.\nFormer salary lanes have been replaced in the contract by a four-tiered career ladder (Standard, Professional, Model, and Lead Teacher) and opportunities for advancement through achievement units tied to evaluation and evidence of leadership and learning. The details of the evaluation system are yet to be determined by the Joint Governing Panel, but the evaluation will include multiple criteria, including evidence of student growth.\nThe new agreement also helps to ensure that teachers are part of the decision-making process when determining school improvement measures (for example, extending the instructional day), by creating a framework for school-level collaboration.\nCity Schools and BTU will work together to develop the Baltimore Professional Practices and Student Learning Program (BPPSLP) with the goals of improving professional practice, increasing student learning, and enhancing career acceleration and opportunities. Two labor-management committees will develop and facilitate the various components of the contract:\nThe Joint Oversight Committee, made up of five members recommended by the school board and five by BTU, will review and assess the district's capacity to operate the program, as well as the program's value for continuation; and it will create, oversee, and designate the responsibilities of the Professional Peer Review Committee.\nThe Joint Governing Panel, with four members recommended by the school board and four recommended by BTU, will develop the criteria for the career ladder, develop the achievement units necessary to move along the ladder, and assist teachers and schools to understand the components of the contract.\nData at a glance:\nTotal certified instructional teachers 914\nTotal full-time staff 11,273\nEnrollment, by race/ethnicity\n\u0097Asian/Pacific Islander: 1.1%\nStudents eligible for free and reduced-price meals 83.5%\nEnglish learners 3.2%\nAndr\u00e9s Alonso, CEO, Baltimore City Public Schools\nNeil Duke, Chair, Baltimore City Board of School Commissioners\nMarietta English, President, Baltimore Teachers Union\nDistrict Website: https://www.baltimorecityschools.org\nDistrict Contract: http://md.aft.org/btu\nIndependent School District 15-St. Francis\n\u2039 ABC Unified School District up Denver Public Schools \u203a",

He was simply asking for the right to use emergency equipment, something that Edmonson County Fiscal Court has not allowed constables to use in the past.\nSkees is a volunteer firefighter on three different local departments and is also a member of the rescue squad. He said he uses a car purchased with his own money, but he can\u2019t utilize it fully because it doesn\u2019t have lights.\nHe also noted that because he\u2019s not able to use police radio, he can\u2019t access NCIC, (The National Crime Information Center) which is a computerized database of documented criminal justice information available to law enforcement agencies nationwide. \u201cIt\u2019s the same as telling me to arrest someone without handcuffs,\u201d he said. \u201cJust let me have the tools I need for my job.\u201d\nEmergency Management Director Pat Prunty said that his department is the one that grants radio access to emergency personnel, but that access is granted with advisement from the sheriff.\nSheriff Shane Doyle said that Constable Skees does a great job of helping city and county law enforcement and that he\u2019s earned respect from local officers.\nAssistant County Attorney Leah Knee said that Skees has made a legitimate request but that a resolution would have to be written to allow him to use the emergency equipment that he requested, which would have to be voted on by magistrates.\nJudge Wil Cannon said the vote would be on the February 8th 2016 agenda at the next fiscal court meeting.",

        "raw_content": "Chicago Study Questions Results Of Retention\nAlthough districts across the nation have been watching\u2014and often copying\u2014Chicago's efforts to ensure that students are prepared for grade-level work, a new report questions the city's policy of retaining students rather than promoting them with their peers.\n\"Ending Social Promotion: Results From the First Two Years,\" a 1999 report from the Consortium on Chicago School Research, examines the effects of Chicago Public Schools' retention policy on students. The organization has published a September 2000 update to the report. (Both items require Adobe's Acrobat Reader.)\nThe 22-page report by the Consortium on Chicago School Research, a federation of area organizations concerned about schools, found that 3rd and 6th graders who were \"socially promoted\" in 1995 did as well as, and sometimes better than, students retained in 1997.\nWorse, it found that one-third of students retained in 8th grade end up dropping out\u2014a rate roughly the same as in 1995, before the board of education adopted the closely watched promotion policies.\nResearchers were even more troubled by rising retention rates in the early grades. Between 1995 and 1997, the number of 1st graders who were retained rose from 1,133 to 2,078, the study found, while the number of 2nd graders retained more than doubled from 662 to 1,398.\n\"I hear it all the time from teachers: 'We should have retained them earlier. If we had, they wouldn't be like this in 8th grade,'\" said Melissa Roderick, the coordinator of the research consortium. \"There's no research that shows that [it's true].\"\nPaul G. Vallas, the chief executive officer of the 431,000-student district, said teachers often argued that holding students back before their first high-stakes test in 3rd grade would give them more time to master basic skills. \"We gave them the green light,\" he acknowledged.\nLocal foes of the city's retention policy saw the research as a vindication of their position, and called for new discussion of the issue.\n\"It confirms that retaining children is not resulting in the improved performance that had been hoped for,\" said Anne C. Hallett, the executive director of the Cross City Campaign for Urban School Reform, a national coalition of urban school advocates based in Chicago.\nPassing rates on mandated tests for 3rd, 6th, and 8th graders improved steadily from 1997 to 1999, the report shows. The greatest jump for first-time test-takers was in 3rd grade, where the pass rate rose from 51 percent in 1997 to 64 percent in 1999.\nDuring that time, the district required that students pass standardized tests before advancing to the next grade. Those who did not were sent to special summer programs. Chicago has since modified its rules to give teachers greater discretion over which students to promote and which to send to summer school.\nStudents who passed the test after attending mandatory summer school courses also maintained their upward \"trajectory,\" or rate of improvement, in subsequent years.\nMr. Vallas embraced the upward trends as evidence that his district's efforts are working. \"The report is missing the two most recent years of data, when these policies have had great successes,\" he said.\nThe schools chief added, however, that he remains concerned about \"the stubborn issue of dropout rates for hard-to-reach students.\" For example, 30 percent of the students who are held back two times by the 8th grade drop out of school before they enter 9th grade, the study found.\nWhile this group of some 600 students is small, it makes an important point, Ms. Roderick said: \"These students were failing before, and we are not moving them forward now.\"\nMr. Vallas pointed to a new initiative that he hopes will lower dropout rates. Beginning next fall, students will get to tailor high school courses so they can graduate in three, four, or five years.\nThe Rochester, N.Y., district this past summer adopted a similar plan, which also will offer diploma programs over three, four, and five years. (\"Rochester Plan Adds Flexibility to High School,\" Aug. 2, 2000.)\nIn Chicago, 7th and 8th graders who want to graduate in three years will be able to earn up to four high school credits, and then enter high school at the sophomore level. The four-year program will resemble the typical high school calendar, but with more options for college- credit courses or work experience.\nUnder the five-year plan, students who fail to earn the minimum grade in core courses in their first year will repeat the class. \"The theory is that if they've taken the course once, they will be better prepared the second time,\" Mr. Vallas said.\nA student struggling in algebra, however, could take honors English. Students on the traditional four- year track could even take courses in a fifth year to prepare for college- entrance exams.\nChicago's CEO estimates that some 5,000 of roughly 15,000 high school seniors may join the five-year plan. \"If I get 5,000 students in the program, my dropout rate will fall to the single digits,\" Mr. Vallas said.\nBut some observers predict it will be hard to overcome the stigma of joining the slower track.\n\"Giving students more time to finish high school is a good idea, but the Chicago idea is misguided,\" said Donald R. Moore, the executive director of Designs for Change, a local school advocacy group. \"Chicago already has a practice of isolating low-achieving students, and it doesn't work.\"\nPublished in Print: September 20, 2000, as Chicago Study Questions Results Of Retention\n\"Pathways to High School Success,\" Commentary, Aug. 2, 2000.\n\"Union Heads Issue Standards Warnings,\" July 12, 2000 (includes coverage of AFT President Sandra Feldman's proposal for a fifth year of high school).\n\"OCR Probing Social Promotion in Chicago,\" Dec. 8, 1999.\nThe National Academy of Sciences provides an executive summary for its report \"High Stakes: Testing for Tracking, Promotion, and Graduation,\" a 1998 study requested by the U.S. Congress.\nAt its annual national convention, the American Federation of Teachers proposed a 5-year diploma plan. Read the organization's summary of the issue.\nThe Rochester City School District gives answers to frequently asked questions about its \"Pathways\" initiative, which includes a five-year diploma option.",

Similarly, the importance of the cultural dimension in ELT has also gained in importance. However, the use of English as a truly global language, going beyond the traditional 'native speaker' English countries, has raised concerns about how users of English are able to cope with the variety of contexts and interlocutors they may encounter. One approach to answering this challenge has been the inclusion among the goals of ELT of intercultural communication skills and the knowledge and attitudes associated with 'intercultural awareness' (ICA).\nBetween September 2010 and September 2011 this British Council-funded study investigated and evaluated the benefits of an online course in intercultural communication and ICA for a group of English language learners in a higher education institute in Thailand. The research aimed to produce insights concerning the use of new technologies in online courses to help develop intercultural awareness among English language learners, equipping them for the demands of English as a global language. The research was conducted in partnership with Silpakorn University in Thailand.\nHere is some sample interactive content from the online course:\n\u2022 Defining culture\n\u2022 Intercultural communication and the Internet\n\u2022 Intercultural awareness\nThe learning environment for the course\nA sample learning object from the course",

        "raw_content": "Special issue of Coastal Management focuses on social sciences in Puget Sound recovery\nThe July 2014 issue of the journal Coastal Management focuses on the role of social sciences in Puget Sound ecosystem recovery. Articles range from political ecology to the development of human wellbeing indicators and directly address current Puget Sound restoration efforts. Guest editors include Encyclopedia of Puget Sound topic editor Kelly Biedenweg and Puget Sound Science Panel co-chair Katharine Wellman. The journal is co-edited by Patrick Christie of our editorial board. Extended abstracts of the articles will be available on these pages in coming weeks.\nCoastal Management journal cover\nIn practice, ecosystem recovery is often assumed to be the domain of the natural sciences with little incorporation of the results from the social sciences in the development of adaptive and effective approaches to recovery. Advancing the recovery of large scale ecosystems, such as the Puget Sound in Washington State, requires improved knowledge of the interdependencies between nature and humans. Human wellbeing and human behavior do not occur independently of the biophysical environment. It is thus clear that the recovery of large scale ecosystems requires the integration of social and biophysical scientists to better understand drivers of change and tradeoffs among strategic opportunities.\nSocial scientists study the full diversity of social patterns at multiple scales, from individuals and local institutions to large social groups and transnational entities. Through systematic and iterative analyses and interpretations of empirical evidence, social scientists, like their natural science colleagues, build and test theories that can address the dynamic relationships between people and their environments, and the causes and consequences of social and environmental change. These research practices ultimately enable more accurate predictions of human responses to environmental policies, for example, and ideally result in improved ecosystem recovery across geographic scales. Environmental social scientists can explain how and why people affect the environment, how the environment affects human well-being and quality of life, what kinds of policies do and do not work to change human behavior, and which social systems are best adapted to sustaining natural resources.\nIn the Puget Sound, greater efforts are being made to engage social scientists across multiple disciplines to inform coastal zone management. This special issue highlights five studies that demonstrate the diversity of relevant social science methods and topics and their utility to ecosystem recovery. Each paper discusses the theoretical foundations and contributions, research methods and results, and how results are or can be incorporated to enhance Puget Sound restoration efforts. Several of the studies were solicited by the Puget Sound Partnership and its collaborating scientific body, the Puget Sound Institute at University of Washington Tacoma, while others were pursued independently. These studies, marking a convergence of support by the Puget Sound Partnership and the regional scientific community, offer theory and findings that can address management questions and generate future socio-ecological research programs.\nThe first article, Complex tool for a complex problem (Breslow) presents the results of an ethnographic study looking at diverse stakeholder perceptions about the causes of salmon decline and the implications for recovery strategies. The second article, Collaboration within the Puget Sound marine and nearshore science network (Moore et al.), demonstrates methods for understanding stakeholders in restoration. In Indigenous community health and climate change: Integrating biophysical and social science indicators, Donatuto et al. share a process for examining social and natural science indicators relevant to climate change in the U.S. and Canadian Salish Sea. Biedenweg et al., in Developing human wellbeing indicators in the Puget Sound: Focusing on the watershed scale, describe a multi-step process for developing human wellbeing indicators related to the status natural resources. In The Sound Behavior Index: A tool to track long term environmental behavior change in Puget Sound, Ward et al. describe the development of a phone survey designed to track changes in environmentally responsible behaviors over time.\nA Complex Tool for a Complex Problem: Political Ecology in the Service of Ecosystem Recovery\nCollaboration within the Puget Sound Marine and Nearshore Science Network\nDeveloping Human Wellbeing Indicators in the Puget Sound: Focusing on the Watershed Scale\nThe Sound Behavior Index: A Management Tool for Behavioral Aspects of Ecosystem Restoration\nView the entire issue\nKatharine F.

The GN-CH serves as a reference to assist the understanding of the requirements set out in Section 2 of Annex 10 and Annex 19 of the EIAO-TM under the EIAO in assessing impact on sites of cultural heritage in EIA studies.\n11.2.6 Chapter 10 of the HKPSG provides general guidelines and measures for the conservation of historical buildings, archaeological sites and other antiquities.\nAMO Guidelines for Marine Archaeological Investigation\n11.2.7 The AMO have issued Guidelines for Marine Archaeological Investigation (MAI) which details the standard practice, procedures and methodology which must be undertaken in determining the marine archaeological potential, presence of archaeological artefacts and defining suitable mitigation measures.\n11.3.1 In accordance with the requirements set out in Section 3.4.13 of the EIA Study Brief No. ESB-153/2006, the relevant requirements in the EIAO-TM and guideline issued by the Antiquities and Monuments Office (AMO), a Marine Archaeological Investigation (MAI) was conducted for this Project. Details of the MAI are present in Appendix 11.1. The key findings and recommendations are presented in the sections below.\n11.3.2 A survey of historical buildings and structures within the Project Area have been carried by the Antiquities and Monuments Office of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) in February 2001 and approved in pervious WDIICFS EIA report. A new historical building and structure found in between 2001 and 2007 is not expected. For the North Point Area, the works areas where mainly located at the new reclamation area and no historical buildings nearby. Therefore, the findings in the pervious approved EIA report are still valid and assessment for the building heritage is not required.\n11.4.1 As identified in the approved EIA report, an archaeological site namely Kellett Island Archaeological Site is located at Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club (RHKYC). Since the Trunk Road of the current design will pass beneath the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club in tunnel (more than 20m below ground), potential impact of the Kellett Island Archaeological Site is not expected. A desktop review of relevant available marine archaeological information and relevant geophysical data within the Project area was conducted by a qualified marine archaeologist. The results of the review are presented below.\nReview of Report NO: SDA8827\n11.4.2 In May 2001 the AMO commissioned SDA Marine Ltd to undertake a MAI for Wanchai Reclamation Phase II. In accordance with AMO Guidelines the MAI comprised: Baseline Review, Geophysical Survey and Underwater Inspection.\n11.4.3 The study area exactly replicated the current study area with the exception of a small section at North Point adjacent to the Causeway Bay typhoon shelter. It can therefore be assumed that the results of the previous study are directly applicable to the current project.\n11.4.4 The Baseline Review indicated a high marine archaeological potential as the study area has always been at the centre of development and industry within Victoria Harbour. However, the marine archaeological potential is diminished by the existing reclamation and associated disturbance on the seabed.\n11.4.5 The geophysical survey deployed: echo sounder, seismic profiler and side scan sonar. The survey was commissioned to meet the needs of the MAI and therefore the methodology was designed to enhance acquisition of archaeological data.\n11.4.6 The survey provided 200% coverage of the seabed and subsurface sediments. Nine anomalies were identified in the survey data. A diver inspection was carried out to obtain accurate information about their archaeological potential. Each anomaly was successfully located and examined by a diver. There were two modern shipwrecks, four pieces of metal construction material, two large concrete blocks and a small metal container.\n11.4.7 It was concluded that there were no archaeological resources within the study area and no need for any mitigation measures or constraints on the proposed development.\n11.4.8 The Baseline Review did not find any specific references to the presence of shipwrecks in the study area. However, as North Point is within one of the busiest sections of Victoria Harbour it will have been at the centre of maritime activity in Hong Kong since the city was established. The combined effects of piracy and typhoons would have increased the likelihood of shipwrecks. This is diminished by the extensive development and engineering works in the study area which will have served to disturb or destroy archaeological remains.\n11.5 Geophysical Survey\n11.5.1 The baseline review indicates high archaeological potential for the North Point study area that was not covered in the MAI in 2001 (Report No. SDA8827). In accordance with AMO Guidelines a geophysical survey for the North Point study area was undertaken. The survey aim was to locate any possible marine archaeological resources on the seabed at North Point study area (Figure 2 of Appendix 11.1).\n11.5.2 Detailed examination of the geophysical survey data enabled accurate assessment of the seabed within the study area. The area is characterised by extensive disturbance as evidence by trawl marks and a very significant amount of modern dumped material. This is compatible with its location within one of the busiest sections of Victoria Harbour and adjacent to existing reclamation and engineering works. These activities would have a negative impact on the seabed thereby reducing its archaeological potential. The mound of debris on the foreshore shown in Figure 4 of Appendix 11.1 is very likely to be the same type of material that was identified in the survey data.\n11.5.3 There is one large non-natural feature on the seabed (SC012) which has significant dimensions (6.3 x 1.2x 0.3m) and it has clearly defined linear shape. The fact that it remains so intact leads to the conclusion that it is a small modern motorised work boat. In the context of the A.M. Ordinance (Cap. 53), the site is not an antiquity or relic. It would be impossible for a historic wreck to have such a cohesive structure after extensive exposure in such a dynamic underwater environment.\n11.5.4 It is therefore concluded that there are no archaeological resources within the study area.\n11.6 Mitigation of Adverse Impacts\n11.6.1 Since there is no archaeological material present within the study area, there is no need for any further archaeological investigation or mitigation measures.\n11.7 Residual Environmental Impact\n11.7.1 No residual cultural heritage impact is expected.\n11.8 Environmental Monitoring and Audit Requirements\n11.8.1 There is no monitoring and audit requirement for the marine archaeology.\n11.9.1 A Marine Archaeological Investigation has been carried out for the seabed that will be affected by the reclamation required by the Project. The aim of the investigation was to locate and assess underwater archaeological resources which may be damaged by the dredging and reclamation. In accordance with AMO Guidelines, the MAI consisted of a Baseline Review and Geophysical Survey.\n11.9.2 The results of the MAI in 2001 (Report No. SDA8827) are applicable to the current study since they cover the same seabed area, with the exception of North Point. There have not been any significant changes to the seabed since 2001 which would have affected its archaeological potential. According to the MAI in 2001, it was concluded there were no archaeological resources within the study area of Wan Chai.\n11.9.3 The baseline review indicates high archaeological potential for the North Point study area. To ensure compliance with AMO Guidelines for MAI, it is therefore necessary to carry out a geophysical survey for this area.\n11.9.4 The geophysical survey provided very detailed information about features on the seabed. Within the study area, the seabed is characterised by the presence of dumped materials, trawl marks, scars and other evidence of previous disturbance. The geophysical survey located one significant sonar contact but its intact linear shape indicated it was a shipwreck of modern origin. There were no other sonar contacts which merited further investigation.\n11.9.5 It is therefore concluded that there are no marine archaeological resources within the study area. It follows that there are no related constraints on the proposed development. There is no need for any further archaeological investigation or mitigation measures.",

Whaley, the outgoing president of the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF).\nThe scholarship fund was established by the ESF Board of Trustees and the College Foundation Board of Directors to honor Whaley for his accomplishments as president of ESF.\nWhaley's tenure as president of the college will end May 15. His successor will be Dr. Cornelius B. Murphy Jr., chairman of the board of O'Brien & Gere Limited.\n\"We believed this would be a particularly nice way to honor Ross, who is so supportive of meritorious students,\" said J. Warren Young, a foundation director and a leader in the campaign to establish the endowment. \"People who know Ross well wanted a permanent honor for him.\"\nCurtis H. Bauer, chair of the ESF Board of Trustees, called the scholarship endowment a \"good way to honor a man who devoted 16 years to the college.\"\n\"ESF is on the cutting edge of major innovations in the field of natural resources. Scholarship is where a lot of these ideas and techniques come from,\" said Bauer, who is also a member of the ESF Class of 1950. \"The endowment seemed like a natural way for the college to train the people the world needs.\"\nThe first Whaley scholarships are expected to bring two freshmen students to campus next fall. The scholarships will be awarded based on the students' academic achievements and community service.\nInitial contributions quickly exceeded the foundation's goal of $100,000. Those donations came from 115 individuals close to Whaley and the college. Members of the public who wish to contribute to the fund may do so by contacting the ESF Office of Development.\nContributors to the fund will be recognized this spring during an event that will celebrate Whaley's tenure at the college. He has been president of ESF since April 1984.",

She is a former television script writer, having worked on Coronation Street, EastEnders and Casualty. Her debut novel, The Informant, was published in November 2014. Her next novel, The Mourner, will be released later this year.\n1. Have you always known you wanted to write?\nI have always written without ever questioning it \u2013 whether stories as a child or bad poetry as a teenager \u2013 and I\u2019ve kept a journal since I was about 13. But I also fell in love with movies too, hence my detour into screenwriting.\n2. Which writers have influenced you the most?\nIt\u2019s impossible to list them all. Television and film often led me to books. I read War and Peace (all of it) at 16 because I\u2019d seen it on the telly. In terms of crime writing Sherlock Holmes was a benchmark (I re-read his stories when I\u2019m in bed with the flu; he\u2019s my comfort read). Later I got into Raymond Chandler, Elmore Leonard and George V Higgins. I\u2019m a big fan of Minette Walters, George Pelecanos and Lee Child too. All of these are, in my view, proper storytellers.\n3. What are your three desert island books?\nI would pick George Eliot\u2019s Middlemarch, The Dream of a Common Language \u2013 poems 1974-77 by Adrienne Rich and Marilyn French\u2019s The Women\u2019s Room\u2019\nREVIEW\u2028The Magical Beeley Bugs by Emma R. McNally\nEmma is a children\u2019s author and illustrator. She lives in Great Baddow.\nThe Magical Beeley Bugs is a charming children\u2019s story continuing the adventures of Harold and Lamb, a pair of toys who get up to all sorts of adventures after their human companions are asleep. In this adventure, they encounter the Beeley Bugs, a group of magical creatures who use their noses to change the colours of flowers, creating beautiful blooms.\nThe book has a rhyming scheme that will ensure that reading it aloud to children will be a joy, and the humour of the book will definitely appeal to little ones.\nThe Replacement by Patrick Redmond\nPatrick Redmond attended Felsted School. The Replacement is his fifth novel.\nThe Replacement tells the story of an affluent family, the Randalls. Robert, Caroline and their twin sons, James and Thomas, have all the money and status they could ever want, but make a fatal error in allowing Stuart, a hapless loser, into their home.\nThis is a tense and chilling thriller that is written with expertise and superb characterisation, and an excellent sense of foreboding permeates the entire book. Redmond has written a story that will stay with you long after you turn the last page.\nRelease Date: May 2015 (Paperback)",

        "raw_content": "'Dancing With the Stars' Sends Home Second Star, Len Goodman Leaving Show for a Few Weeks\nBy Zach Seemayer 8:37 PM PDT, September 27, 2016\nSeason 23 of Dancing With the Starstrimmed down the field of contestants on Tuesday during their second two-hour results special, and said goodbye to one contestant who'd struggled to improve their scores throughout the first three weeks of competition.\nAfter avoiding elimination last week, former Texas governor Rick Perry couldn't avoid the inevitable.\nThe 66-year-old politician and his partner, Emma Slater, were voted off after three weeks of consistently earning the lowest scores from the judges.\nWATCH: First Star Eliminated on Dancing With the Stars Season 23 -- Find Out Who Got Sent Home!\n\"I probably lasted a week longer than I thought I would -- if you want to know the truth of the matter -- knowing what little I knew of dancing,\" Perry told ET's Angelique Jackson backstage after the show. \"I just had a really good instructor.\"\nPerry is such a fan of Slater's that he's even asked her to help him learn a few moves for a very special upcoming event in his life. \"She's gonna help on the foxtrot that we're gonna do at my daughter's wedding,\" Perry revealed. \"So she's still not through teaching me yet.\"\nDespite getting kicked off, Perry said the important thing is the memories and the friendships he's forged during his time on the show. \"I get judged every day and have for the better part of my adult life and I go on about it,\" he explained. \"So, more importantly than whether or not I stayed or didn\u2019t, was that the experience that I had was amazing. It was 30 days of making some great friends that will last now for the rest of my life.\"\nAs for who they're rooting for when it comes to the remaining contestants, the choice was pretty clear. \"We're kind of biased. We're for Sasha [Farber] and Terra [Jole],\" Perry said.\nEXCLUSIVE: Lindsay Arnold Gushes Over 'Perfectionist' Calvin Johnson's 'Best Night Yet' on DWTS\n\"Terra is a good Texas girl, [from] San Antonio, and she's kinda fond of Sasha,\" he added, referring to Slater's relationship with the 33-year-old dancer.\nBefore Perry's elimination, several couples also found themselves on the chopping block, including Terra Jole and Farber, as well as Amber Rose and partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy.\nThe contestants weren't the only ones making news after Tuesday night's episode. Len Goodman, DWTS' head judge, also announced that he would not be appearing on the show for a few weeks, because he had to fulfill his commitments as head judge on Britain's Strictly Come Dancing.\n\"It's difficult to fly every week there and back,\" Goodman explained. \"I'm going to miss it because I've enjoyed so much watching the progression. But I'm going to be well-informed of what's going on. Make sure that it's a ballroom dancing competition, it's not all about razzle dazzle. Show us some proper ballroom dancing.\"\nWATCH: Dancing With the Stars Season 23 -- See the Hot Pairings!\nDWTS co-host Erin Andrews also called out this week to be with her boyfriend, Jarett Stoll, whose nephew recently died. Former DWTS pro Kym Johnson Herjavec co-hosted the show with Tom Bergeron\nWhile the results special was primarily recaps of the previous night's dances, it did give the stars and viewers the chance to hear some behind-the-scenes comments and feedback from the judges that wasn\u2019t heard during Monday's show due to the one-hour time constraint.\nWATCH: Laurie Hernandez Sheds Her 'Cute Laurie' Image With Red-Hot Tango on DWTS\nThe special also featured live performances from Florida Georgia Line and Fitz and the Tantrums, while troupe members and pros rocked the dance floor with dazzling routines.\nCheck out the video below for a look at one of Monday\u2019s best performances from Olympic gymnast Laurie Hernandez and former DWTS champ Val Chmerkovskiy.\n'DWTS': Laurie Hernandez Reveals the Unique Strategy She Used to Master Her Passionate Tango",

        "title": "New report offers first nationwide look at the impact of the ACA on medically underserved | EurekAlert! Science News",
        "raw_content": "New report offers first nationwide look at the impact of the ACA on medically underserved\nWASHINGTON and NEW YORK (August 19, 2015)--A new report examining newly-released data from the 2014 Uniform Data System (UDS), which collects patient and health care information from the nation's community health centers, shows how the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is changing insurance coverage and health care in the nation's most medically underserved urban and rural communities. Examining data collected from nearly 1,300 federally funded health centers operating in over 9,000 locations, the report shows that between 2013 and 2014, the number of health center patients with health insurance rose by more than 2.3 million (a 17 percent increase), the number of uninsured patients declined by 1.2 million (a 16 percent decrease), and the total number of patients served rose by over 1.1 million, (a 5 percent increase). Since 1996, the total number of patients served at federally funded health centers has nearly tripled, from slightly more than 8 million to almost 22.9 million patients served by 2014.\nThe report, produced by the Geiger Gibson/RCHN Community Health Foundation Research Collaborative, which is based at Milken Institute School of Public Health (Milken Institute SPH) at the George Washington University, offers the first glimpse of how health centers are impacting access in the first full year of federal health reform.\nThe major growth in insurance coverage is largely explained by the ACA's Medicaid expansion, given the deep impoverishment of health center patients. Medicaid accounted for approximately 79 percent (1.8 million) of the 2.3 million increase in insured patients served by health centers. At the same time, the number of privately insured health center patients also rose from 3.1 to 3.6 million, an increase of 16 percent and by far the greatest increase in private insurance coverage over the 1996-2014 time period. Given health center patients' historically limited access to employer-sponsored coverage, the report concludes that this increase can be attributed to the affordable private health insurance made available through the health insurance Marketplace.\n\"Our findings underscore the importance of the Affordable Care Act to the poorest Americans,\" said Sara Rosenbaum, JD, the Harold and Jane Hirsh Professor of Health Law and Policy at Milken Institute SPH and a study co-author. \"This report shows the importance of ensuring that the ACA's resources reach all medically underserved communities, including those in the 20 states that have not yet expanded Medicaid.\"\nFeygele Jacobs, President and CEO of the RCHN Community Health Foundation said, \"Community health centers not only are critical providers for their patients but offer a crucial window into communities most in need of the health system transformation that comes from the health reforms embodied in the ACA.\"\n\"Since 1965, health centers have continued to play an important role in serving those who fall into the coverage gap,\" said Peter Shin, PhD, Director of the Geiger Gibson RCHN Community Health Foundation Research Collaborative and co-author of the report. \"The recent uptick in newly-insured patients shows health centers are just as important for those gaining coverage.\"\nThe report, How Has the Affordable Care Act Benefitted Medically Underserved Communities? National Findings from the 2014 Community Health Centers Uniform Data System, was funded by the RCHN Community Health Foundation.\nThe Geiger Gibson Program in Community Health Policy, established in 2003 and named after human rights and health center pioneers Drs. H. Jack Geiger and Count Gibson, is part of the School of Public Health and Health Services at The George Washington University. It focuses on the history and contributions of health centers and the major policy issues that affect health centers, their communities, and the patients that they serve. Additional information about the Research Collaborative can be found online at http://publichealth.gwu.edu/projects/geiger-gibson-program or at rchnfoundation.org.\nThe RCHN Community Health Foundation is a not-for-profit foundation established to support community health centers through strategic investment, outreach, education, and cutting-edge health policy research. The only foundation in the U.S. dedicated solely to community health centers, RCHN CHF builds on a long-standing commitment to providing accessible, high-quality, community-based healthcare services for underserved and medically vulnerable populations. The Foundation's gift to the Geiger Gibson program supports health center research and scholarship.

        "title": "Confidence - Ageing",
        "raw_content": "There\u2019s less of it than there used to be. In the past I have managed to conceal a basic lack of confidence by appearing to be sure about my opinions, which have often come across as cockiness. It\u2019s no longer possible to do that with conviction, though it\u2019s a habit that dies hard. In all sorts of ways one reveals that things aren\u2019t what they used to be.\nA friend said to me the other day that in the discussion group we are both part of, he is never quite sure whether he can find the words he wants to say. The thinking goes on but the gap between thought and articulation is such that to join the conversation can end up as an embarrassment to himself and everyone else. It\u2019s my experience too.\nPhysical degeneration doesn\u2019t help. At one time I could be reasonably confident at presenting myself to people. I had no illusions about being good looking but at least I had some idea of what people would see when I entered a room, joined a group or spoke in public. Not so these days.\nI think all sorts of stupid things, like is my bald patch reasonably concealed, am I standing straight, do I look as tired as I feel; and practical things like shall I be able to follow what people are talking about? And when people say, as they often seem to, \u2018you do look well\u2019, I wonder if that means, \u2018you don\u2019t look as decrepit as I expected\u2019? (Which I suppose should be some sort of comfort!).\nAnd then of course there is the memory thing, which has often been referred to in these postings. There are huge blanks which one is reluctant to admit to or wary of exploring in case you come up with the wrong bit of history. I think it is one of the hardest things about ageing, that it\u2019s not easy to remember key moments in your life and therefore not possible to celebrate them.\nDriving the car is too delicate a matter for me to make many confessions here.\nI maintain the sincere fiction of still being at 82 a reasonably good driver, but have to admit to myself (and now to the world!) that my concentration and judgement is not as good as it used to be. I was never that good at parking the car but it\u2019s now more complicated matter than it used to be, for example.\n\u2018Just get on with your life and stop wanting to be as it was\u2019 is the sensible advice we should give to ourselves I suppose. But it\u2019s not the same life, and accepting that is quite a discipline. We had a moving comment in the Spanish version of these blogs the other day.. \u2018I look at my hands wrinkled, brown spots and veins clearly visible and feel strange. Is it sadness? Fear? Embarrassment? I\u2019m not sure \u2026 It doesn\u2019t make me sad \u2013 on the contrary I\u2019m impressed. It connects me with my final years.\nIt\u2019s natural, simple and it happens to us all.\nLongetivity is in the News\nOLYMPIC OVERDRIVE",

        "raw_content": "East Africa delivers New Year visa gift to tourists\nEast African single tourist visa will allow a tourist to enter any of the three countries that issued the visa and move freely within the other two.\nThe multiple-entry visa, which will be valid for 90 days, will cost $100. Tourists can apply at any diplomatic office of Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda, at immigration offices of the respective countries or online.\nRwanda will provide the software for personalisation of the visa stickers to Kenya and Uganda. The software will enable the three countries to share the fees, tourist information and tourism data.\nTourists visiting Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda will no longer have to pay for separate visas for all three countries, as the East African single tourist visa comes into effect on January 1, 2014.\nWorking like the Schengen visa for European Union countries, the East African single tourist visa will allow a tourist to enter any of the three countries that issued the visa and move freely within the other two.\nUnder the agreement reached by the three countries whose partnership is referred to as the Coalition of the Willing (CoW), Rwanda will provide the software for personalisation of the visa stickers to Kenya and Uganda. The software will enable the three countries to share the fees, tourist information and tourism data.\nThe visa is expected to reduce the costs of movement across the countries, leading to a increase in the number of tourists.\nCoW experts met in Kigali on December 17 to assess the readiness of the issuance and implementation of the single tourist visa as directed by the CoW Integration Projects Summit of October 2013. At the meeting, the countries agreed that all the requirements were in place for the single visa.\nRwandan co-ordinator of integration projects and chair of the meeting Monique Mukaruliza said the single tourist visa will increase the number of tourists and also benefit citizens as it will allow free movement of people within the region\nThe visa will not be extended, and a visitor will not be allowed to work.\nSo far, 60,000 visa stickers have been processed and distributed to the respective High Commissions and immigration offices of the three countries.\nAccording to Waturi Matu, co-ordinator of the East African Tourism Platform, the single tourist visa will encourage visitors to tour the region at a low cost.\n\u201cTourists will only pay $100 to tour the three countries, instead of $150 or more as has been the case,\u201d said Ms Matu.\nHowever, she said more needs to be done. \u201cThe three countries should now focus on other issues like reducing the airfares within the region,\u201d she said.\nFor example, it is more expensive for a tourist to fly within the three countries than to fly into them from Britain.\n\u201cA tourist flying from Britain to Kenya will pay $800, then $400 from Kenya to Uganda, and $300 to Rwanda,\u201d Ms Matu said. \u201cThis is very expensive considering the distances between the East African countries.\u201d\nIn 2010, the EAC gazetted the criteria for partner states\u2019 hotels to adopt in their legal framework. The standards are similar to the ones used to rate South African hotels.\nSince then, only Rwanda and Tanzania have started the process. Kenya, Uganda and Burundi are yet to commence.\nDifferent hotel rating standards in the region have been causing friction among tourism industry players.\nMs Matu said East African countries need to implement the standardisation of their hotels to meet the agreed EAC criteria.\n\u201cTo market yourself as a single tourist destination, hotel rates needs to be such that a five star hotel in Kampala is no different from one in Nairobi or Kigali,\u201d said Ms Matu.\nExperts say partner states will benefit more from tourism if the EAC is sold as a single tourism destination, with EU member states.\nTanzania has stated that it will not be party to the joint tourist visa agreement yet.\nTanzania\u2019s EAC Deputy Minister Abdullah Juma, in an interview with The EastAfrican, said the country will not be part of the single tourist visa until issues of security, how to split revenues, and infrastructure is put in place.\n\u201cSecurity in the region is not good. For example, Kenya is prone to Al Shabaab attacks; if a tourist gets a visa from Tanzania and has security problems in Kenya, who will be blamed?\u201d said Dr Abdullah.\nPlans are also underway to market the three partner states as a single tourist destination in March 2014 at the Internationale Tourismus-B\u00f6rse Berlin, the world\u2019s largest tourism trade fair.\nKenya, Uganda and Rwanda will use a common logo and their stands will be designed similarly; the countries will also have a joint promotions committee.\nThe partner states have also agreed to set up the website www.visiteastafrica.org, to be hosted by Rwanda.",

        "raw_content": "Biden Refusing to Pay Campaign Debt?\nQ: Is Joe Biden refusing to pay a $150,000 campaign debt?\nA: Contrary to a claim in a chain e-mail, public records show Biden paid his debt to an air charter company in full, well before Obama tapped him for vice president. The accountant who wrote the e-mail now says it's \"no longer true.\"\nCan you check the validity of this?\nFamily, I feel an obligation to honesty and truth to share with you some facts. My Father and Mother instilled in me the values and morals of treating people fairly and always being honest. If you purchase something, you pay for it. If you borrow something, you give it back.\nI have been \"stiffed\" three times in my 30 year professional career by someone who I rendered services to, gave a finished product to, but who refused to pay for those services even though they acknowledged the services and products were correct, were what they asked for, and were never challenged for not being correct. I am lucky in having only three, but those three hurt badly. [EET ]\nJoe Biden was one of those people. I worked on his 1988 Presidential campaign financial disclosure engagement. I busted it for him and got everything right. He stiffed me for over $15,000 worth of work. He refused to pay once he dropped out of th e race. I did similar Capitol Hill campaign financial disclosure work for Bob Dole, Pat Buchanan, and a Democratic candidate for Ambassador to New Zealand. All of those folks paid even though they lost the election or did not get the appointment. That type of work is very demanding and very tedious because your efforts are scrutinized by Congress. Biden did not care.\nI am on the Board of Directors of a company that owns a majority position in a private jet management company in Northern Virginia. They manage jets for businesses and rich folks. They also charter planes to the public. This past winter John Thompson chartered over $250,000 worth of air time. He paid every penny.\nJoe Biden, in his latest unsuccessful run for President, chartered over $150,000 worth of air time. He PAID ZERO.\nHe continues to refuse to pay stating his race is over and he is out of money. He never once complained about his flights. Joe Biden is a rich man. He could pay.\nJoe Biden is a liar and a cheat. I know it first hand.\nCharacter is what life is all about. Joe Biden is a man of bad character and sets a bad example for America.\nI feel compelled to share this dark side of a man who asks for your vote and trust.\nBest Regards, Bruce D. Riddle, CPA, CFP [/EET]\nWe called Bruce Riddle to see if he had any documentation for his claims. We got a recording at his office asking that anyone calling about the e-mail not leave a message. Riddle's voice mail said he'd been \"overwhelmed with literally thousands of phone calls\" and that his allegations that Biden had outstanding debts for the use of the air charter and for Riddle's accounting services were \"no longer true.\"\nWe also asked the Obama-Biden campaign for a response to Riddle's charges. In return, Biden spokesman David Wade sent us detailed information about the larger of the debts and payments made on it. We paid a visit to the Federal Election Commission's Web site to confirm the facts and figures; they checked out. So here's the story:\nIn its year-end 2007 report, Biden for President listed a debt of $150,464.85 to International Jet Management. Biden paid the bill in full, in three installments, before he was selected as Obama's running mate. He paid $18,642.81 to the company in January 2008. He made a second payment of $30,000 in March 2008. And he made the last payment of $101,822.04 on July 22, 2008. All of these payments are detailed in reports filed with the FEC.\nObama announced that he had chosen Biden to be his running mate on Aug. 23, so this debt was taken care of nearly a month earlier. Assuming Riddle sent his e-mail after Biden became the vice presidential candidate (there is no date on the version that was sent to us), the accountant's allegation doesn't hold up. Biden's campaign no longer owed the money, and in fact had been making payments since January.\nAs for the other debt Riddle mentioned, $15,000 for work the accountant says he did on Biden's financial disclosure statement in 1988, Biden spokesman David Wade said he wasn't familiar with it. Given that Riddle seemed to be stretching the facts associated with the larger debt, we're inclined to give Biden the benefit of the doubt on the smaller one, at least until we receive solid information to the contrary.\nIt's not at all unusual, by the way, for campaign debts to linger after the candidates themselves have packed it in. At the end of July, for example, Rudy Giuliani had more than $3.5 million in outstanding debts and obligations, while Hillary Clinton was carrying more than $23 million in debt, roughly half of which was in loans she made to her campaign, according to reports filed with the FEC. Some debts are never paid: John Glenn, a 1984 candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, tried for years to pay off his multimillion-dollar albatross. Finally, in 2006, the FEC cut him a break and allowed him to write off the remaining $2.68 million owed to vendors.\ncampaign debt\nPrevious StoryStretching with Biden\nNext StoryMcCain and the 1967 Forrestal Fire",

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb Court Orders Family-Owned Business to Hold Annual Shareholder Meeting\nCorporate shareholders with voting shares have the right to elect a corporation\u2019s directors. Elections typically occur at an annual shareholder meeting. If the company does not schedule an annual meeting, a shareholder may have the right under the applicable state corporation statute to ask a court to order that such a meeting be scheduled. In Ielmini v. Patterson Frozen Foods, Inc. (Court of Appeals of California, Fifth District, September 12, 2018), a California Court recently ordered that an annual meeting be held in the context of a family-owned business where certain directors and controlling shareholders had previously refused to hold a meeting.\nJohn and Angelo Ielmini each held 50 percent of the shares in several agricultural companies which were involved in the farming and processing of produce. They were cousins and second-generation owners of the enterprise which had initially started with one business founded by John and Angelo\u2019s fathers in the 1940s. John was 14 years older than Angelo and, as he aged, he delegated more management responsibility for the companies to Angelo. When John died in 2010, his half of the shares of the companies passed equally to his four children. However, as noted in the court\u2019s ruling, \u201cAngelo retained and perpetuated his control of the board of the directors of [the companies] by refusing to hold any annual shareholders\u2019 meetings after John\u2019s death.\u201d John\u2019s children thus were unable to elect any corporate directors to represent their interests. Angelo also appointed his own daughters as officers and directors of the companies even though there were no meetings at which the daughters were elected to those positions.\nIn 2012, John\u2019s children sued Angelo and his daughters for breach of fiduciary duty and misappropriation of corporate assets. They also sought the removal of Angelo and his daughters as directors and requested dissolution of the companies. They further claimed that Angelo withheld company information and prevented their inspection of records in order to conceal the misuse of company funds. In response to the dissolution request, the companies attempted to invoke a statutory right to purchase John\u2019s children\u2019s shares. The court stayed the dissolution proceeding while the parties performed a valuation of the shares in connection with the possible buy-out.\nIn 2015, while the dissolution action was still pending, John\u2019s children demanded that the companies hold annual shareholder meetings, since there had not been any such meetings in the five years since John died. The companies rejected the request for a meeting, claiming that John\u2019s children had no legitimate interest in the management of the companies since there was a pending action through which they would be bought out of the companies. John\u2019s children then filed a complaint with a California superior court seeking an order that the companies hold annual shareholder meetings.\nIn ruling on the request for an annual meeting, the superior court acknowledged there were empty seats on the board but nonetheless dismissed John\u2019s children\u2019s complaint, based on the pending dissolution and buy-out action. The court also noted the \u201cpotential futility of an election of the shareholders that would end in deadlock.\u201d In that regard, the court rejected the children\u2019s argument that annual meetings were required, not discretionary, under California law, regardless of any pending dissolution action, and that by not holding meetings, the children were \u201ceffectively disenfranchised\u201d as shareholders since they were unable to exercise their right to vote for directors.\nJohn\u2019s children appealed to the California Court of Appeals. The Appeals Court reversed the superior court\u2019s denial of the request for a shareholder meeting. It determined that the pending dissolution proceeding did not affect the requirement to hold a meeting. Indeed, the buy-out process had been ongoing for several years and, the Court noted, may never actually result in a purchase of the shares. In the meantime, the children remained shareholders of the entities and, as such, had rights they were entitled to enforce. Without a mechanism to enforce those rights, under the applicable statute, the children remained subject to the claimed misconduct of Angelo and his daughters. According to the Court: \u201cA shareholder without a shareholder\u2019s rights is at best an anomaly, and at worst a shadowy figure in corporate limbo who would be voiceless in the conduct of the business of which he is part owner and largely defenseless against neglect or overreaching by management.\u201d The Court concluded that the corporation statute required the entities to elect officers and directors and to continue the ordinary conduct of the business despite the initiation of dissolution proceedings.\nThe Appeals Court also rejected the superior court\u2019s determination of the potential futility of any elections due to the expected deadlock of the ensuing directors. To that point, the Appeals Court noted that the corporate statute provides a remedy through which a shareholder can petition a court to resolve director deadlock through the appointment of one or more neutral provisional directors. Such an appointment, if made, would \u201censure that the governance of a corporation is equitable,\u201d even in the face of otherwise deadlocked ownership factions. Where the superior court instead anticipated deadlock and denied the request for an annual meeting, John\u2019s children \u201cwere left powerless to stop the perpetuation of control of the board by the Angelo faction or seek judicial relief to appoint neutral directors.\u201d The Appeals Court thus remanded the matter to the superior court to order that all the entities hold shareholder meetings as required under the California statute.\nThe Ielmini case serves as a reminder of the importance of following required formalities in family-owned businesses.\nIn particular, both corporate directors and shareholders should be aware of their rights and obligations, under the applicable state corporation statute, in connection with holding annual meetings and available remedies if no meetings are held.\nParties further should understand their options for avoiding shareholder and director deadlock and available judicial remedies for breaking the deadlock, including appointment of provisional directors, appointment of a receiver or (in extreme cases) dissolution of the company. Finally, while a statutory buy-out remedy may not be available in every state, parties usually would be well served to consider whether a purchase or sale of shares is the best way to resolve intractable \u2013 and often generational \u2013 disputes between family-owned business shareholders.\nTags: annual shareholder meeting, breach of fiduciary duty, buy-out action, Corporate shareholders, corporation statute, dissolution action, Family-Owned Businesses",

        "raw_content": "Anyone dumber than the Knicks?\nby Mookie4ever \u00bb Fri Jun 23, 2006 9:34 am\nLos Angeles - The months-old rumours over the future of New York Knicks' head coach Larry Brown became a reality Thursday, when he was fired and replaced with the team's president of basketball operations Isiah Thomas, effective immediately.\nBrown's dismissal comes less than 11 months after the Hall of Fame coach signed a lucrative five-year contract worth more than 50 million dollars. With a reported 40 million dollars left on the contract, it is unclear how much of this Brown will receive.\n'Larry has had a long and storied career,' Madison Square Garden chairman James Dolan said in a statement released on the team's website. 'We hired him last summer with the expectation that he would be with the Knicks for a long time. Sometimes decisions work and sometimes they don't.'\nAfter guiding the Detroit Pistons to the 2004 NBA title but failing to defend it, the well-travelled Brown was hired to turn a once-proud but now floundering franchise into a playoff contender, something he has successfully done with seven of the eight teams he has taken over in the past.\n'No one in our organization is happy with last season and we all accept responsibility for our performance,' Thomas said in his own statement. 'This has been a difficult time for the entire organization and our fans.'\nBrown was excited to be coming home for what he called his dream job. Instead, it turned into a nightmare for the 65-year-old native New Yorker, who owns a 1,010-800 record as an NBA coach. The Knicks failed to respond to him and finished with a 23-59 record - the second worst behind Portland (21-61) and the franchise's worst showing in 20 years.\n'Larry Brown is a great coach, but for various reasons, bringing him to the Knicks did not turn out the way we had hoped and we wish him the best in the future,' Thomas said.\nLeading the team into the next season, Thomas believes the Knicks will be much more competitive next season. Before joining the club as president and general manager in December 2003, the 12-time all-star guard served as head coach of the Indiana Pacers. In three seasons, he compiled a 131-115 record, including trips to the playoffs every year.\n'Today begins the 2006-07 season for the Knicks, and I strongly believe we are on the right track to take major steps in our rebuilding process to achieve our goal of being one of the premier teams in the NBA,' Thomas said.\nFor their record this year (23-59 second worst in the NBA with the highest payroll) Larry Brown received $435,000 per win.\nSo the Knicks will pay Brown $40 million to not work for the next 4 years.\nI also heard this news story today: Canada's largest steel company will cut it's workforce by 15% and fire 700 people. This will save $45 million. LINK\nBy firing 700 people Stelco could afford to hire Larry Brown for 4 years.\nby teddy ballgame \u00bb Fri Jun 23, 2006 9:38 am\nI thought the mods get on our cases when we post stuff about Basketball here.\nAnyways, I agree it was an idiotic move. It's not Larry Brown's fault that the Knicks have a terrible team. Isiah seems to be the problem everywhere he goes.\nby j_d_mcnugent \u00bb Fri Jun 23, 2006 9:45 am\ngenerally you need to give brown 2 years to work his magic but isiah was never going to bring in the players that brown needs to turn things around so something had to change. either brown or isiah had to go, and as stupid as isiah is he isnt going to fire himself. the knicks are claiming brown violated something in the contract and arent going to pay him the 40 mil. per the contract, the dispute will be decided by the commissioner.\nas a bulls fan i love it...they get to swap first rounders with the knicks next year.\nby Dan Lambskin \u00bb Fri Jun 23, 2006 9:57 am\nIs Larry Brown the smartest man in the world or what.

It currently is set at 11% in border states.\nTyasa has a distribution centre in the state of Chiapas, near to the border with Guatemala, designed to supply the Mexican steel market and be a source of scrap collection.\n\u201cWe have not calculated the impact, [but] construction companies will have to pay higher taxes, reflecting the price of housing,\u201d Aizcorbe said.\n\u201c[This should not] directly affect customers, but we might have a reduction in sales volumes in that area,\u201d he added.",

A freak road accident has tremendous consequences, for both of them, for when Simon wakes up in the hospital; he discovers that he is now in his mother\u2019s body, so presumably she is now in his! Unaware that there is now a gritty and tough young woman called Nessa on his case, Richard returns to the UK on a false passport to complete some unfinished financial business, with some unsavoury characters. With a lot of money at stake and a series of complicated events involving London gangsters, the police and a racehorse, the upshot is that Nessa does not want to go back to being a boy, even if there was a way for that to happen.\nIn Plain Sight - Paperback",

        "title": "Workers' Comp for Independent Contractors: Guide by a Fresno Lawyer",
        "raw_content": "Workers' Comp for Independent Contractors\nWhile your employer may consider you an independent contractor, you may be considered an employee in relation to workers' comp benefits. As such, it is highly recommended that you seek the assistance of an attorney. Mr. Fisher can provide legal guidance to determine whether you qualify.\nGilbert Fisher: Employer-and-employee relationships can take a variety of forms. And although probably the most common is a simple hourly arrangement, where an employee works for an hourly wage, oftentimes, and for a variety of reasons, an employer and employee might enter into an arrangement where the employee is called an independent contractor. Now, in those cases, usually the motivation is something like, \"Well, we'll pay you cash. We won't deduct your taxes, and you're responsible for your own taxes.\" And it might be, or at least on the surface, seem like it's an easier arrangement for those people who are involved, but it's not that simple. Just because your employer calls you an independent contractor, doesn't mean you are. And the law has some specific criteria that must be met, or you are not an independent contractor. So in other words, even though your employer says, \"You know what? You're an independent contractor. You're not covered for work comp,\" but you're injured on the job, that doesn't mean that's the end of it. And in workers' compensation, we look at the substance of that relationship, that employment relationship, more than what is on the surface. So in other words, just because they call it an employer/an employee/an independent contract relationship, doesn't mean it is. In court, they're going to look a lot closer at the substance of that relationship. If, for example, your employer bases your compensation on an hourly rate and then pays you based on the hours you work, that may not be an independent contractor relationship, even though the employer has said that's what you are. Generally, the more control the employer has over you, the more likely you're going to be deemed a regular employee and, therefore, entitled to workers' compensation benefits. So a true independent contractor is someone, for example, who strikes an agreement to perform a service for the employer. And really, the only terms of that agreement are how much they're going to be paid, and what they're going to do for that person, okay? And the control over that, the hours they work, how they go about it, is pretty much under the control of the independent contractor. Now, in situations where the employer exercises more control over that, you may have actually crossed the line back into an employer/employee relationship, even though they're calling it an independent contractor relationship. For example, if your compensation is based on the hours that you work versus the whole project, you're probably an employee versus an independent contractor, regardless of what you're calling it. For example, if the employer is involved in the specific decisions that are made in how you carry out a job, you're probably an employee. So even though you may have been denied workers' compensation benefits because the employer is claiming you're an independent contractor, and even though they're paying you with a 1099, you would probably be very well-advised to talk to an attorney, if you're injured in that situation, and have them go over the specifics of your relationship with your employer. And you may find out that, in fact, you're an employee for the purposes of workers' comp, and you are entitled to workers' compensation benefits. Narrator: If you, or a loved one, need help with a workers' compensation issue, call our office today.",

        "title": "\ufeff Osteoarthritis - First Health Guide",
        "raw_content": "Osteoarthritis (OA) is a rheumatic disease, in which the cartilage in the joints is getting thinner and softer. The cartilage may eventually even disappear completely. The patient suffers from pain and stiffness. The disease mainly occurs in the joints of the hands, knees and hips. Osteoarthritis can lead to severe limitations and significantly affects daily functioning.\nThe risk of osteoarthritis increases with age. But the disease can also be part of a rheumatic disorder, so a person might have to deal with it at young age. Genetic predisposition often plays a role then. Risk factors are:\nLong-term (over)loading the joints, for example due to overweight.\nFrequently and intense sports.\nOther diseases of the joints, such as arthritis and gout.\nFractures or sports injuries.\nCold and a humid climate are not causes of osteoarthritis, but often do affect the symptoms. Of all rheumatic diseases, osteoarthritis is the most common.\nThe main symptoms of osteoarthritis are pain and stiffness. This is caused by the loss of cartilage, the rubbing of bones over each other and bone accretions. Characteristic is the so-called \u2018starting pain\u2019 when a patient starts moving after a period of rest. However, pain may also occur at rest, for example when lying on bed at night. Due to the pain, the patient tends to move the joint less and less. This causes stiffness and weakens the muscles around the joint.\nOsteoarthritis can affect any joint, but is most common in the neck, (low) back, knees, hips, hands (thumb and fingers), toes (big toe) and shoulder.\nIn order to make the diagnosis of osteoarthritis, the doctor usually has enough information from the story of the patient about his or her symptoms and a physical examination. An X-ray is sometimes made. Depending on the symptoms, additional examination, such as blood test, may be carried out in order to exclude other conditions.\nOsteoarthritis cannot be cured. The treatment is therefore aimed at controlling the pain and maintaining the best possible function of joints and muscles. The following treatments are used:\nMedication. If pain exists, but doesn\u2019t prohibit daily activities, first painkillers are prescribed. Paracetamol may be adequate to mild symptoms, more serious symptoms require NSAIDs. These are anti-inflammatory drugs, which reduce any inflammatory response in the joints. In case of severe pain, it\u2019s possible to give an injection into the painful joint with hormones or with cartilage-constructive substances, including hyaluron acid.\nPhysical therapy. Simultaneously with drug treatment, the patient can also have physical therapy. Under the guidance of a physical therapist, the patient performes exercises in order to maintain flexible joints. The physical therapist can also provide heat treatment.\nSurgery. If wear of the joints is at an advanced stage, so that nothing can help to reduce the pain anymore, surgery may be done. An artificial joint is placed then. The patient gets, for example, a hip or knee prosthesis. During surgery, joint ends can also be made more smooth or loose pieces of bone can be removed from the joint.\nOsteoarthritis is a chronic condition, that doesn\u2019t cure and slowly gets worse. If a clear cause can be found for the osteoarthritis, such as a cruciate ligament injury, then that\u2019s a positive sign that the disease won\u2019t occur in other joints. If no clear cause can be found, it is more likely that osteoarthritis will also develop in other joints.\nIf a person has osteoarthritis, it\u2019s important to continue exercising regularly. Exercise keeps joints supple, makes muscles stronger and improves condition. Heart and lungs get stronger as well. In case of overweight, it\u2019s important to lose weight.\nFor people with osteoarthritis, the following sports are suitable: walking, cycling, swimming or moving in warm water, Nordic walking and yoga.\nDuring exercise, it\u2019s important to maintain a good posture. For example, try to keep the back straight and the shoulders relaxed. Try not to force during exercise; slow down when feeling pain.\nThe term \u2018osteoarthritis\u2019 is derived from the Greek words osteon (bone) and arthron (joint). The suffix -itis indicates that it is an inflammation.\nThe prevalence of osteoarthritis is 7% and increases with age.\nBone or joint disease",

        "title": "Spotting Mental Health Tattoos And Symbols - Learn What They Mean",
        "raw_content": "Spotting Mental Health Tattoos And Symbols - Learn What They Mean\nMental illness comes in many forms, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, and substance abuse. Unfortunately, many people with mental illness face a negative social stigma, despite the illness being out of their control.\nThere are a growing number of programs designed to raise awareness of this stigma. The semicolon has become a recognizable mental health symbol across the world. This globally recognized symbol is part of the larger movement designed to raise mental health awareness and reduce the stigma attached to mental illness. You can help spread awareness of mental health issues by using the mental health ribbon, participating in the semicolon project, and understanding the meaning of mental health tattoos.\nWhat Is the Mental Health Ribbon?\nThe lime green mental health ribbon is designed to improve mental health awareness in the United States. It\u2019s the most recognizable mental health symbol, although it can also represent awareness of other issues. It\u2019s also part of the StigmaFree campaign from the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) to end the stigma of mental illness and create hope for the millions who struggle with mental health issues.\nWearing a lime green mental health ribbon is an important way to show mental health awareness and encourage open dialogues with coworkers, friends, family members, and classmates. May is Mental Health Awareness Month, the ideal time to raise awareness for this important cause by wearing a lime green mental health symbol like a ribbon, wristband, nail polish, or clothing.\nMental Health Tattoos and the Semicolon\nProject Semicolon is one of the biggest movements raising awareness for mental health across the world. The movement of using the semicolon, especially in the form of mental health tattoos, serves as a symbol of hope for people who struggle with mental illness. Within a short period of time, many have come to recognize this mental health symbol and view it as the perfect expression of living with a mental disorder.\nProject Semicolon was founded by Amy Bleuel in 2013, ten years after her father committed suicide. According to Bleuel, the semicolon represents continuance. Bleuel added, \u201cAuthors usually use the semicolon when they choose not to end the sentence. You are the author and the sentence is your life.\u201d\nWhile Bleuel said the semicolon campaign was not intended to lead to mental health tattoos, that\u2019s what happened after her blog post went viral and she decided to get a semicolon tattoo herself. Within less than a year, it became a powerful mental health symbol.\nProject Semicolon may be best known for the thousands of mental health tattoos it\u2019s inspired, but it\u2019s also a registered charity that raises money to fight the stigma of mental illness and give hope to those in need. The semicolon mental health tattoos have become so popular, though that one tattoo shop in Calgary called Dusk Till Dawn donates a portion of the proceeds from every semicolon tattoo to the Canadian Mental Health Association.\nAside from the semicolon mental health symbol, there are other popular mental health tattoos. Some people choose the chemical symbols for serotonin and dopamine, two hormones responsible for regulating mood. The arrow is another popular concept for mental health tattoos as it\u2019s a reminder that you must sometimes go back to get the momentum you need to carry you forward.\nMental illness like depression is a leading cause of disability around the world. Struggling with a mental health issue can affect every area of your life from work and relationships to sleep, nutrition, stress, exercise, and digestion. About 1 out of 25 adults in the U.S. experience serious mental illness every year that substantially affects major life activities, but 1 out of every 5 teens and adults experience some type of mental health disorder at some point in their life.\nDepression and anxiety disorders are the most common mental health issues in the United States. Nearly 18% of the population has a type of anxiety disorder and 7% of adults have at least a single major depressive episode per year. Mental illness affects teens and adults from all walks of life but many do not even seek treatment. This is largely due to the social stigma of having a mental illness, which is viewed as being weak or of poor character.\nWhile mental illness can\u2019t be cured, it can often be managed effectively with psychotherapy, medication, and other solutions that improve quality of life, confidence, and health. There are even a number of apps that can help you take better care of yourself and manage mental health issues like depression and anxiety.",

        "title": "IQ Option Currency Broker Review - All the necessary info",
        "raw_content": "Visit IQ Option Website\nIQ Option was an operation which burst right to the top of the binary option popularity charts, as soon as it was launched in 2014. It accomplished great success in a remarkably short time, by delivering the most accessible and attractive deals the industry had to offer. Even as other brokerages were requesting their traders to cough up $200-$500 in minimum required deposits, IQ Option were granting them access to a superb trading platform and an attractive asset selection, for the ridiculous minimum of $10.\nThe returns on the options were good too, and for a while, the brokerage featured a bot builder, which allowed users to create their own automated traders, more or less in the vein of MT4\u2019s Expert Advisors. These bots could then be traded, raced and monetized in various ways. While this feature no longer exists, and while since then, IQ Option have moved on to new pastures product selection-wise, they have retained their excellent trading conditions. That explains why their growth has continued unabated through the last couple of years.\nIn 2014, the operation had 950,000 accounts. By 2016, that number had climbed to more than 14 million, and since then, scores of new accounts were probably added.\nFrom a rather \u201cunimpressive\u201d $500,000 in 2014, IQ Option clients are now withdrawing more than 5.7 million every month. Withdrawal processing times and support times have significantly diminished as well.\nIQ Option Product Selection\nAs said above, the most significant changes in the fabric of IQ Option\u2019s offer, came about in the financial product selection. Once focused exclusively on binary options, the operator now offers ETFs, CFDs, Cryptocurrencies as well as straight-up Forex trading. The tradable asset selection is decent within all those categories and the spreads featured are just superb in some instances.\nThe Forex section is what the site seems primarily focused on these days. It features 22 currency pairs, from the EUR/USD pair, all the way to more exotic ones, like the CAD/JPY. The spreads \u2013 though variable \u2013 are simply amazing. On the EUR/USD for instance, they are in the 0.10% range, though there are much smaller spreads available as well.\nThe Cryptocurrency section is essentially one based on the trading of crypto-based CFDs. What this means is that those trading the cryptos will never actually get to possess any. CFDs are contracts for difference and they are based on the price-variations of the underlying asset. No fewer than 13 cryptocurrencies are supported here, from the most prominent, all the way to lower-rung currencies such as Dash, IOTA and Omisego. All the pairs featured in this section are crypto/USD ones.\nThose looking to trade CFDs based on crypto/crypto pairs, will be able to do so in the CFD section. This is where pairs like LTC/BTC and ETH/BTC are offered, and the spreads are surprisingly attractive here too.\nDespite having moved away from their initial focus on binary/digital options, IQ Option still have this category covered. The options selection varies depending on the time of the day. Sometimes there are just 22 tradable assets, other times, there are more than 40. These options are said to offer returns of up to 95%, though in practice, these returns are closer to 90%.\nTraders looking for bigger returns will like the Digital Options, the returns on which can be as high as 900%. The risks associated with such options are higher as well though.\nIQ Option Regulation\nIQ Option possess license #247/14, from the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC). What this license means is that the operation is MiFID-compliant and thus, it can offer financial services all over the EEA (European Economic Area). In addition to CySEC regulation, IQ Option are also registered with a number of national regulatory agencies, such as Germany\u2019s BaFIN, Britain\u2019s FCA and Italy\u2019s Consob. The brokerage does not possess a US license, therefore it cannot offer financial services to US residents in any shape or form.\nIQ Option\u2019s trading platform used to be one of the best in the binary option industry. It was a sort of big fish in a little pond, and while it has retained all of its useful features, and more have been added, these days it is no longer an industry-leader in this regard. Its technical analysis-focused features are decent, but they are nowhere near the degree of complexity industry leaders, such as MT4, can deliver in this regard.\nWhat exactly do you get at IQ Option technical analysis-wise? Charting is where technical analysis begins, and in this regard, IQ Option do indeed have most of the bases covered. Time frames can be changed at the click of a button, from 30 minutes all the way to 30 days. It wouldn\u2019t hurt to have some smaller time frames available as well though. Traders can switch among no fewer than 4 chart types: Area \u2013 which seems to be the default option, line, candles and bars. For the spotting of various candlestick patterns, you will find the candle-chart the most useful, obviously.\nNo technical analysis suite would amount to anything without a proper set of graphical tools. At IQ Option, traders will be able to trace lines, trend lines, horizontal lines and Fibonacci lines. The heart and soul of every technical analysis-suite is its selection of technical indicators. At IQ Option, 12 such indicators are included in the package, and no, traders cannot install new ones. This selection covers the MACD, the MA, the Bollinger Bands, the Stochastic Oscillator and others.\nAdding and removing various tradable assets is as easy as clicking a button too. No fewer than 9 real-time charts can be displayed at the same time. Trading is available directly off the charts.\nThe Open Positions section lets the trader track his/her trades in real time, while the Trading History section can prove useful for analyzing and learning from one\u2019s past mistakes/successful trades.\nThe Chats and Dialogs section is an essential part of the platform. This is the module responsible for the social aspect of the brokerage. This is where traders exchange tips and trading signals. Indeed, sometimes, this section can take on the appearance of a virtual trading floor. It has to be noted that to keep the chat clean and spam-free, IQ Option have only made it available to their real money clients.\nThe Market Analysis section is a sort of Economic Calendar, which is indeed a must for everyone looking to trade the fundamentals one way or the other. Technical analysis in and of itself never provides a full picture in regards to trading opportunities. This section allows traders to weave the fundamentals into the technical aspects seamlessly.\nIQ Option\u2019s OTN Tokens\nIQ Option have decided to get more deeply involved in the cryptocurrency industry, by handing out their own tokens. OTN tokens are given to traders who make at least one commission-based trade per month at the site. The more trades one makes, the more OTN tokens he/she will receive. What gives these tokens value? They can be used to reduce spread and further improve trading conditions. Thus far, almost 1.8 million such tokens have been distributed.\nSee all forex broker reviews",

        "raw_content": "Trade groups say US tariffs on aluminum, steel will hurt\nBy ALEX VEIGA and MICHAEL LIEDTKE Published March 08, 2018 MarketsAssociated Press\nA broad swath of U.S. industries is unhappy with the tariffs that the Trump administration is imposing on aluminum and steel imports, warning the penalties will jack up costs, raise prices for consumers and potentially put people out of work.\nDespite objections voiced by many business trade groups and lawmakers, the White House forged ahead Thursday with its plan to levy tariffs of 25 percent on imported steel and 10 percent on aluminum. The tariffs, which President Donald Trump says are needed to protect U.S. workers, are scheduled to take effect in 15 days.\nSeveral industry trade groups pushed back against the necessity of the new policy, saying the tariffs will lead to higher costs for businesses and could spark a broader trade war.\n\"Today&apos;s action could ultimately cost far more American jobs than it would create, and raise costs on consumer products,\" said Gary Shapiro, president and CEO of the Consumer Technology Association, which represents more than 2,200 companies.\n\"The imposition of tariffs will undoubtedly result in previously uninvolved sectors being retaliated against and create a dangerous race to the bottom, which is a threat to our domestic economy and the entire global trading system,\" Shapiro added.\nU.S. automakers are among the businesses with the most at stake, given they account for 38 percent of the aluminum and 15 percent of the steel consumed in the country, according to Ward&apos;s Automotive Reports.\nThere are about 1,100 pounds of steel and 400 pounds of aluminum in the average two-ton U.S. vehicle, according to the Center for Automotive Research, an industry think tank in Ann Arbor, Michigan.\nThe Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, a major industry trade group, warned the tariffs will also drive up the price of steel made in the U.S. \u2014 a cost that it predicts will be passed along to consumers through higher prices on vehicles.\nIf the entire cost is passed to consumers, which may not be possible, it could add about $300 to the price of the average vehicle, said Kristen Dziczek, director of Center for Automotive Research&apos;s Industry, Labor & Economics Group.\nBut automakers could absorb price increases or figure out some other way to offset the increases, Dziczek said. Plus, companies usually lock in steel and aluminum prices with long-term contracts, so it could take years for price increases to kick in, she said.\nGeneral Motors doesn&apos;t expect the tariffs to hurt that much, partly because of its long-term contracts.\n\"We have shown we have the ability to adjust and adapt to a variety of market changes around the world and that will be our approach on this issue as well,\" said the company that owns popular auto brands such as Chevrolet, Buick and Cadillac.\nBeer lovers also may feel the ripple effects of the tariffs, according to the Beer Institute, a trade group representing the world&apos;s largest brewers. It estimates the 10 percent tariff on the aluminum encasing most of the beer sold in the U.S. will increase the cost of the beverage by $348 million annually and threaten more than 20,000 jobs in the industry.\n\"Imported aluminum used to make beer cans is not a threat to national security,\" said Jim McGreevy, the Beer Institute&apos;s CEO.\nThe tariffs would have a far reaching impact that goes beyond beer cans and cars to other products that people wouldn&apos;t expect, such as furniture and lamps, said Hun Quach, vice president of trade at the Retail Industry Leaders Association, a retail trade group counts such members as Walmart, Best Buy and Home Depot.\nQuach dismissed Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross&apos;s recent comments that these tariffs would mean insignificant price increases on cans of Campbell soup and Coca-Cola. She argued that view doesn&apos;t take into account the volume of cans and other items that companies have to buy that would result in significant costs to their bottom line.\nThe tariffs also come at a time when retailers are rushing to remodel their stores and build huge e-commerce distribution centers that require steel, Quach noted.\n\"Our point is that these tariffs are going to have a bigger impact on our American economy than what their goal is,\" she said.\nThe head of the National Retail Federation, whose members include department store chains, grocery stores and other merchants around the world, also raised objections to the tariffs Thursday, calling them a tax on all Americans.\n\"A tariff is a tax, plain and simple,\" said Matthew Shay, president and CEO of the NRF. \"Consumers are just beginning to see more money in their paychecks following tax reform, but those gains will soon be offset by higher prices for products ranging from canned goods to cars to electronics.\"\nHousing trade groups also took a dim view of the tariffs, saying the policy would lead to higher costs and hinder development at a time when the nation faces a severe shortage in homes and rental housing.\n\"Policies that increase the cost of development stand in the way of meeting urgent housing demand as well as imperil the economic and employment gains achieved through tax reform,\" said Cindy Chetti, senior vice president of government affairs at the National Multifamily Housing Council, which represents 1,200 apartment housing owners, managers, developers and investors.\nThe National Association of Home Builders noted the tariffs would pile on more costs on builders and, ultimately, homebuyers.\nThe tariffs could lead to job losses at aerospace and defense companies, said Eric Fanning, president and CEO of the Aerospace Industries Association, which represents more than 300 manufacturers and suppliers.\nThe tariffs are welcome news for aluminum and steel companies, however.\nEven before Trump signed off on the new tariffs, U.S. Steel provided him with a proof point for his rationale by announcing it would reopen part of a Granite City, Illinois, plant that closed in 2015 in a move that the company blamed in part on \"unfairly traded imports.\"\nThe reopening will bring back about 500 U.S. Steel workers who had lost their jobs in the closure.\nU.S. Steel CEO David Burritt hailed Trump for taking steps \"to begin to level the playing field so companies like ours can compete, win and create jobs that support our employees and the communities in which we operate as well as strengthen our national and economic security.\"\nLietdke reported from San Francisco.

        "raw_content": "Pre-cueing Effects on Perception and Cognitive Penetrability\nValerio Santangelo\nWhy Some Believe Attentional Effects Do Not Count As Evidence of Cognitive Penetrability of Perception\nPerceiving the Same Input in Different Ways: Attentional and Knowledge-Based Influences\nThe \u201cWow\u201d Factor: When Can We Really See Our Knowledge Impacting Perception?\nChanging What You See by Changing What You Know: The Role of Attention\nGary Lupyan*\nDepartment of Psychology, University of Wisconsin\u2013Madison, Madison, WI, USA\nAttending is a cognitive process that incorporates a person\u2019s knowledge, goals, and expectations. What we perceive when we attend to one thing is different from what we perceive when we attend to something else. Yet, it is often argued that attentional effects do not count as evidence that perception is influenced by cognition. I investigate two arguments often given to justify excluding attention. The first is arguing that attention is a post-perceptual process reflecting selection between fully constructed perceptual representations. The second is arguing that attention as a pre-perceptual process that simply changes the input to encapsulated perceptual systems. Both of these arguments are highly problematic. Although some attentional effects can indeed be construed as post-perceptual, others operate by changing perceptual content across the entire visual hierarchy. Although there is a natural analogy between spatial attention and a change of input, the analogy falls apart when we consider other forms of attention. After dispelling these arguments, I make a case for thinking of attention not as a confound, but as one of the mechanisms by which cognitive states affect perception by going through cases in which the same or similar visual inputs are perceived differently depending on the observer\u2019s cognitive state, and instances where cuing an observer using language affects what one sees. Lastly, I provide two compelling counter-examples to the critique that although cognitive influences on perception can be demonstrated in the laboratory, it is impossible to really experience them for oneself in a phenomenologically compelling way. Taken together, the current evidence strongly supports the thesis that what we know routinely influences what we see, that the same sensory input can be perceived differently depending on the current cognitive state of the viewer, and that phenomenologically salient demonstrations are possible if certain conditions are met.\nThe debate over whether cognition affects perception is in full swing (Stokes, 2013; Lupyan, 2015a; Raftopoulos, 2015a; Zeimbekis and Raftopoulos, 2015; Firestone and Scholl, 2016; Ogilvie and Carruthers, 2016; Teufel and Nanay, 2016). Is what we perceive influenced by our current goals, knowledge, and expectations (e.g., Hohwy, 2013; Goldstone et al., 2015; Lupyan, 2015a; Teufel and Nanay, 2016)? Or is perception composed of encapsulated systems, following their own laws and logic, independent of what the perceiver knows and their current cognitive state (e.g., Pylyshyn, 1999; Orlandi, 2014; Firestone and Scholl, 2016)? The debate spans a variety of issues from how to distinguish cognition from perception to what counts as knowledge to whether the empirical target should be about objective behavior on perceptual tasks or subjective perceptual appearance. All are important questions. The present paper focuses on two aspects of the debate. First, should attentional effects on perception count as instances of cognitive penetrability of perception (CPP)? Second, what is the connection between effects of attention on perception to effects of various kinds of cues on perception? Is cuing perception \u201cjust\u201d cuing attention? And if so, what does it tell us about CPP?\nThe crux is this: The same sensory input or set of inputs can produce different perceptual experiences depending on the attentional state of the viewer. Since attention is a cognitive process (see Is Attention Really Cognitive?), attentional effects ought to constitute prima facie evidence that perception is cognitively penetrable. Yet many have argued that demonstrating that cognition really influences perception needs to exclude the possibility of the effect being merely attentional (e.g., Pylyshyn, 1999; Macpherson, 2012; Deroy, 2013; Raftopoulos, 2015a; Firestone and Scholl, 2016). After describing the background and rationale of this argument, I try to make explicit some of the assumptions on which it rests, and argue that these assumptions are contradicted by what we know about how attention works. I then go through a number of demonstrations of how the same sensory inputs can be perceived in different ways and discuss the relationships between effects of attention, effects of background knowledge, and effects of cues on perception.\nIs Attention Really Cognitive?\nPerhaps the most obvious reason for thinking that attention, that is, the process of attending, is a cognitive process is that when presented with some sensory input it is to possible to volitionally choose what we attend. It is also possible to instruct someone to attend to one thing versus another with immediate consequences for what the viewer ends up seeing (Mack and Rock, 1998; Ward and Scholl, 2015). Just as with many aspects of our cognition, attention is not under complete volitional control. Certain salient sensory events such as a sudden appearance of an object may cause people to automatically attend to the event whether they want to or not (Theeuwes, 2004; Theeuwes et al., 2004). Relatedly, attending to the same salient target has been shown to become easier when it is repeated (priming of pop-out)\u2014a process at one time thought to be similarly automatic and not penetrable to an observers expectations or goals (Maljkovic and Nakayama, 1994).1\nVision scientists once thought that it was possible to produce a set of features that are the targets of attentional mechanisms. In the visual domain, dimensions such as spatial frequency and motion direction do appear to be better targets for attentional selection than more complex attributes (Wolfe and Horowitz, 2004) and can thus be fairly viewed as \u201cbasic.\u201d However, attempts to derive a complete set of features that form the targets of attentional selection and which divide pre-attentive perception from post-attentive perception have not been successful (e.g., Wolfe, 1998). Recent work has demonstrated that attention is not limited to any closed set of (ostensibly non-semantic) perceptual features such as a spatial frequency and orientation in the case of vision, but extends to clearly semantic attributes such as our knowledge of letters (Nako et al., 2014a), words (Dell\u2019Acqua et al., 2007), and common objects (e.g., Lupyan, 2008; Lupyan and Spivey, 2010; Nako et al., 2014b). That people can attend to such clearly semantic categories means that attention makes use of learned object knowledge making it impossible to reduce attention to a process of selection of basic non-semantic features (see also Goldstone and Barsalou, 1998; Schyns et al., 1998).\nDoes Attention Really Affect What We See?\nAttending to different things has far-reaching effects on perception. At its most basic, cuing someone to attend to the left makes it easier to see what is on the left (Posner et al., 1980). Such spatial attention is often the sole focus in discussions of attention and CPP (Macpherson, 2012; Deroy, 2013), but it is also possible to attend to features in parallel across the visual field with the effect of improved ability to locate task-relevant stimuli (Maunsell and Treue, 2006), and, as further discussed in Section \u201cCuing Perception: Attention as a Mechanism by Which Knowledge Affects Perception\u201d, to attend to semantic categories (Lupyan, 2008; \u00c7ukur et al., 2013; Nako et al., 2014a; Boutonnet and Lupyan, 2015)\nAttending not only improves objective performance, but in some cases demonstrably changes subjective perception, enhancing contrast (Carrasco et al., 2004), saturation (Fuller and Carrasco, 2006), and changing perceived size of attended stimuli (Gobell and Carrasco, 2005). Failing to attend to something in the right way can make the difference between seeing and not seeing (hence the term \u2018inattentional blindness\u2019) (Mack and Rock, 1998; Ward and Scholl, 2015).\nAttentional influences are observed \u201cearly\u201d in both place within the visual hierarchy, and time, arguably precluding the existence of truly pre-attentive perception (Foxe and Simpson, 2002; Reynolds and Chelazzi, 2004; Hayden and Gallant, 2005). Although once controversial, it is now common knowledge that attention permeates perceptual processing through and through: from at least the thalamus in the case of mammalian vision (Reynolds and Chelazzi, 2004; Jack et al., 2006; Silver et al., 2007) and down to the cochlea in the case of audition (Smith et al., 2012). We can now say with certainty that many forms of attention work by altering the response profiles of neurons that respond to sensory inputs thereby altering (at least during certain temporal windows) visual representations (Gandhi et al., 1999; Lamme and Roelfsema, 2000; Corbetta and Shulman, 2002; Ghose and Maunsell, 2002; Maunsell and Treue, 2006; Silver et al., 2007). Although the present paper cannot do justice to the vast literature on the perceptual effects of attention (see Carrasco, 2011 for review), it would not be an exaggeration to say that no part of perceptual processing is immune from attentional effects.\nAnd so, we have the following curious situation: attention, a cognitive process affects perception. What we perceive when we attend to one thing is different from what we perceive when we attend to another thing. Yet, it is frequently argued that attentional effects do not count as cases of cognitive penetrability of perception (Pylyshyn, 1999; Macpherson, 2012; Deroy, 2013; Raftopoulos, 2015b; Firestone and Scholl, 2016). The next two sections describe two main reasons for excluding attentional effects from being considered cases of CPP: attention as something that happens after perception, and attention as something that happens before perception.\nAttention as a Post-perceptual Process\nThe first reason for denying that attentional effects counts as evidence of CPP is to view attention as a process of selection happening after perceptual processing (often referred to as late-selection; Figure 1A). On such a view, perceptual processing may proceed in the same way regardless of what we are attending, with attention determining what contents are selected from perception. For example, Palmer et al. (1993) ask \u201cto what extent attention affects perception rather than memory and decision?\u201d As an illustration of a kind of attention that is well-characterized by post-perceptual selection, imagine someone scanning the walls of an art gallery trying to find the Picassos. To accomplish this, the visual system must process each painting to a sufficient degree so that, at minimum, Picassos can be distinguished from the rest. If one assumes that our knowledge of what Picassos look like resides outside of the visual system, then the best the visual system can do is deliver a \u2018percept\u2019 to whatever downstream system has the requisite knowledge. That system can in turn send a signal to examine the painting further, reject it outright as an obvious non-match, and so on. A classic example of a situation often characterized in just such a way is the process of attending to a conversation in a noisy room. Although we may have the impression that we are listening only to the voices of the people we are conversing with, on hearing our name, our focus of attention may suddenly be jerked away to another corner of the room. For this to happen, we must have been processing the ambient speech all along, at least to the level of distinguishing one\u2019s name from all other words. Notably, such recognition of unattended conversation is hardly ubiquitous, happening only about a third of the time, and more so in people with poorer working memory (Conway et al., 2001). More generally, the locus of selection is not fixed, but depends on factors like perceptual and attentional load (e.g., Lavie and Tsal, 1994). Findings like these helped resolve the longstanding debates between early and late-selection (Lavie, 2005).\nFIGURE 1. Three ways of construing the relationship between attention, perception, and cognition. In all cases, cognitive states can influence what we perceive by literally changing the input for example, via eye-movements. (A) Attention as selection that works on the output of a pre-attentive perceptual processing module. Attention construed in this way can be relevant to CPP insofar as perceptual behaviors that one is interested in (e.g., being aware of what one sees) require attention. (B) Attention as a pre-perceptual filter or spotlight that shapes input to perception. Attention construed in this way is relevant to CPP insofar as the filters are not limited to content-neutral dimensions such as location, but influence processing in a content-specific (semantically coherent) manner. (C) A more general construal of attention as a modulator of perception (symbolized by the symbol for convolution). Some perceptual processes may involve more attentional modulation than others. Cognitive states can influence perception via attention or in other ways. Both routes constitute genuine cases of CPP insofar as the influence is semantically coherent rather than content-neutral.\nStill, to the extent that attention sometimes just selects stimuli that have already received full perceptual processing\u2014\u201ca subtle form [of] choosing what to perceive\u201d (Macpherson, 2012)\u2014one may conclude that it is therefore of little relevance to questions about effects on perception itself.\nAttention as a Pre-perceptual Process\nOne reason why many researchers studying perception are so interested in attention involves modulation of perception rather than just a process of selecting amongst fully processed perceptual states. It is possible to be cued (by an experimenter or to cue oneself) to attend to a particular place, feature, or category, with the result that of being objectively better at perceiving. Not just remembering, not just better knowing what to do, but perceiving better (Carrasco, 2011).\nCritics, however, have argued that although such effects clearly count as evidence of attention (a cognitive process) changing what we perceive, they do not count as cases of CPP because attention simply changes the input to the perceptual system. On this view, attention is something that happens before perception (Figure 1B). The perceptual system then goes on responding to the altered input in a reflexive and modular way encapsulated from the viewer\u2019s knowledge, goals, and expectations. This argument is very clearly expressed by Firestone and Scholl (2016) who argue that attentional effects can be equated to more obvious changes in input like closing or moving one\u2019s eyes:\n\u2026there is a trivial sense in which we all can willfully control what we visually experience, by (say) choosing to close our eyes (or turn off the lights) if we wish to experience darkness. Though this is certainly a case of cognition (specifically, of desire and intention) changing perception, this familiar \u201ctop-down\u201d effect clearly isn\u2019t revolutionary, insofar as it has no implications for how the mind is organized \u2014 and for an obvious reason: closing your eyes (or turning off the lights) changes only the input to perception, without changing perceptual processing itself.\n\u2026changing what we see by selectively attending to a different object or feature \u2026 seems importantly similar to changing what we see by moving our eyes (or turning the lights off). In both cases, we are changing the input to mechanisms of visual perception, which may then still operate inflexibly given that input.\nAttention as Confound versus Attention as Mechanism\nTo summarize the argument thus far: there are two broad objections to including attentional effects as instances of CPP. The first objection is that to attending to something involves selecting among already formed perceptual representations (Figure 1A). The second objection is that attention simply changes the input to perception. This of course changes what we see, but only because of a difference in input (Figure 1B). A related proposal is that attention \u201crigs up\u201d perception without altering it (Raftopoulos, 2015b).\nThe first objection\u2014attention is post-perceptual selection\u2014faces two problems. First, although it may indeed be accurate to characterize some attentional effects in this way, it is abundantly clear that much of attention is not simply selection and operates by augmenting perceptual processing itself. Second, regardless of how \u201clate\u201d the attentional effect in question may be occurring and how complete the perceptual processing of unattended stimuli may be, one may wish to nevertheless include such cases as candidates for CPP if they concern behaviors that we wish to count as truly perceptual. For example, even if it could be shown that the unattended gorilla (Simons and Chabris, 1999) is fully processed, its phenomenological invisibility may be relevant if we wish to include being aware of what one sees as part of perception.\nTo understand why the second objection\u2014attention as a change in input\u2014is compelling to some, and where it goes ultimately wrong, we need to examine some of its underlying assumptions. The objection rests on an analogy between a change in input caused by a change to the sensors, e.g., moving one\u2019s eyes to the left to better see what is on the left, or squinting to blur out some details to see the larger picture, with changes in input caused by endogenous attentional mechanisms. The analogy is at least partially justified for spatial attention. Just as moving our eyes toward a target helps us see it, we have long known that shifting attention covertly\u2014without moving one\u2019s eyes\u2014can likewise lead to perceptual improvements (Posner, 1980). Covertly attending to a spatial location enhances spatial resolution, improving performance on tasks that benefit from enhanced spatial resolution (Yeshurun and Carrasco, 1998). Covert attentional shifts are closely correlated with eye movements (e.g., Hart et al., 2013) and share common neural mechanisms. For example, electrical stimulation of the frontal eye fields can evoke both saccadic eye movements to specific locations and attentional shifts.2 Such findings that make it sensible\u2014on first glance\u2014to conclude that perceptual changes due to attention are just like those caused by changes to changes to eyegaze. As we shall see, the analogy quickly breaks down when we go beyond spatial attention. The domain of spatial attention, however, allows us to better understand why a change in input (whether by moving one\u2019s eyes or moving covert attention) would not constitute CPP. The reason is that the change in perception caused by such a change in input is not content sensitive. Insofar as looking to the left helps us see things on the left solely due to a change in what light now enters the eyes, it will be equally helpful for everything that is on the left. This improvement is independent of whether our intention was to look to check for oncoming cars or for pedestrians. In the literature on CPP, this is broadly referred to as a lack of semantic coherence between the cognitive state and the resulting percept (Pylyshyn, 1999; see Lupyan, 2015c; Stokes, 2015 for discussion).\nAs I will argue below, although some types of attentional shifts may lack semantic coherence, this is not the case for other kinds of attentional effects. It is one thing to find that attending to the left adds visual detail to anything on the left. But it is quite another to discover that one can attend to a certain object or object category with the perceptual consequence being changed perception of the content that is being attended. Note that even if one argued that the reason that attending to, e.g., cars helps one see cars better is through a change in input to perception, such a change would have to involve a content-specific change and is thus a qualitatively different kind of effect than simply seeing better anything in a particular location. This point is discussed in greater detail below, but first I would like to illustrate how easy it can be to confuse confounds with mechanisms when thinking about CPP.\nA Mini Case-Study of Confusing Confounds and Mechanisms\nIn an earlier version of the argument that attentional effects are simple changes in input, Fodor (1988, p. 191) uses the following imagined dialog to draw an analogy between changing one\u2019s percepts by changing where one attends and changing one\u2019s heart rate by doing physical exercise:\na: Heart rate is cognitively penetrable! I can choose the rate at which my heart beats.\nb: Remarkable; how do you do it?\na: Well, when I want it to beat faster, I touch my toes a hundred times. And when I want it to beat slower, I take a little nap.\nAccording to Fodor, it is just as silly to argue that attentional effects count as instances of CPP as it is to argue that changing heart rate through exercise counts as a cognitive effect on heart rate. But why does speeding up heart rate by doing some toe touches fail as an argument for heart rate being cognitively penetrable? Because\u2014one assumes\u2014the 100 toe touches would speed up heart-rate to the same extent regardless of whether one\u2019s intention was to speed up the heart rate or to stretch one\u2019s hamstrings. There is a lack of semantic coherence. But consider that it is also possible to speed one\u2019s heart rate simply by thinking certain thoughts. No toe touches required (Manuck, 1976; Peira et al., 2013). But suppose that the way one influences heart rate is by thinking about doing exercise. Does this qualify as heart rate being cognitively penetrable? If not, why not? One may argue that it is actually the thoughts about exercise that are causing the heart rate increase rather than the thoughts about increasing one\u2019s heart rate. But this is a strange objection. Perhaps thoughts about exercise are the mechanism by which we can cognitively regulate our heart rate.\nFor argument\u2019s sake, let us assume that thinking about exercise is hacking the heart-rate control system and so does not count as a true cognitive influence. Consider then the following case. Pollo et al. (2003) showed that administering a placebo analgesic reduced the perceived pain of an electric shock to the forehead while also reducing the subject\u2019s heart rate. In other words: when subjects had a placebo-induced belief of being administered a pain-killer, they not only experienced less pain, but a decrease in heart rate. On investigating the mechanism underlying this effect Pollo et al. (2003) discovered that administering an opioid antagonist negated the placebo\u2019s effect on both pain and heart rate, suggesting that the placebo-induced expectation of pain-relief produced a release of endogenous opioids which had the effect of reducing pain and heart-rate, an effect that blocking the opioid receptors could negate.\nAt this point, a critic may point out that it wasn\u2019t really the subject\u2019s cognitive state that reduced their heart rate, but rather the endogenous opioids. But if a person\u2019s beliefs and expectations (which are themselves physical states) are to have an effect on some physiological response, it must happen through some mechanism or another! The endogenous opioids released as a result of the placebo are not a confound. They are part of the mechanism by which placebo analgesics work. It could have turned out that the mechanism is different (and indeed, Pollo et al. describe a different mechanism for placebo effects on ischemic arm pain). And so, it\u2019s the same with attention. To the extent that attention is a key mechanism of how perception performs its function of \u201cproviding a description that is useful to the viewer\u201d (Marr, 1982, p. 31), to exclude attentional effects from consideration as cases of CPP is to confuse confounds with mechanisms.\nIn this section, I delve into some details of the interplay between perception, attention, and higher-level cognitive states (Figure 1C). My main focus will be on cases of bistable or ambiguous perception as they allow us to keep the physical stimulus the same while changing the observer\u2019s knowledge and/or attentional state. In Section \u201cThe Role of Attention and Knowledge in the Perception of Simple Ambiguous Figures\u201d, I discuss some of the ways that attention and prior knowledge influence our perception of bistable images. Some of these may be dismissed as \u201cjust\u201d changes in input or post-perceptual selection, but others cannot be. In Section \u201cWhat Makes Some Perceptual Interpretations Better Than Others?\u201d I sketch in broad strokes a way of thinking about what makes some perceptual interpretations better than others and how attention and knowledge can make a particular interpretation more or less \u201cgood.\u201d In Section \u201cCuing Perception: Attention as a Mechanism by Which Knowledge Affects Perception\u201d, I use the framework developed in Section \u201cWhat Makes Some Perceptual Interpretations Better Than Others?\u201d to discuss how in-the-moment attentional cues influence what we see, and argue for attention as one of the mechanisms by which knowledge affects perception.\nThe Role of Attention and Knowledge in the Perception of Simple Ambiguous Figures\nIf perception is cognitively penetrable, we should be able to find cases where the same physical input can be perceived differently depending on the cognitive state of the perceiver. The existence or ambiguous or bistable images of the kind shown in Figure 2 provide a natural starting point. That visual bistability is a perceptual phenomenon is supported by both the phenomenological potency of viewing bistable displays and by studies of its neural correlates (e.g., Tong et al., 1998; Meng and Tong, 2004; Kornmeier and Bach, 2005, 2012).\nFIGURE 2. A variety of bistable and ambiguous images (see text for descriptions of panels A\u2013H).\nThat there are images that can be perceived in multiple ways is not necessarily relevant to the CPP thesis. Consider what is perhaps the best known example of bistability\u2014the Necker cube (Figure 2A). The Necker cube can be perceived as extending in depth in two mutually exclusive ways: as if the viewer is looking at it from the top or the bottom. The same 2-dimensional image has two different three-dimensional interpretations indicating that there is a many-to-one projection between 2-dimensional images and 3-dimensional objects. The situation becomes relevant to the CPP thesis if the same 2-dimensional image can evoke a different 3-dimensional interpretation depending on the viewer\u2019s cognitive state.\nAn effective way of inducing a switch between the two interpretations of the Necker cube is to look at different parts of the image. For example, looking at the right cross in Figure 2A causes most viewers to perceive the cube as if looking at it from the top, while looking at the left cross causes most viewers to perceive the alternate perspective. Of course this is utterly unconvincing as a demonstration of CPP. The reason is an apparent lack of semantic coherence. One assumes that the effect of looking at the left or right cross would bias perception in the same way regardless of viewer\u2019s cognitive state.\nBut it turns out that the intention to see the cube in one way or another not only independently affects which 3-dimensional one sees, but has a considerably larger effect on the interpretation than where one looks (Hochberg and Peterson, 1987; Toppino, 2003; Meng and Tong, 2004; see also Peterson and Hochberg, 1983; Liebert and Burk, 1985; Peterson, 1986). What about covert attention? In contrast to eye movements, these are more difficult to control. One solution is to present a viewer with a very small Necker cube for which covert or overt attentional shifts ought to be less consequential. Toppino (2003) carried out this experiment and found that the viewer\u2019s intentions had equally large effects when viewing a cube in which the critical areas spanned less than 1\u00b0 of visual angle compared to a cube an order of magnitude larger.3\nRecall that what makes Necker cube ambiguous is that the 2-dimensional rendering of the cube is equally compatible with two 3-dimensional interpretations. The fluidity with which we construct 3-dimensional percepts from 2-dimensional inputs makes it tempting to think that although which 3-dimensional percept we see at a given time can be influenced by expectations and task-demands, the generation of the percepts themselves is not subject to our knowledge and expectations (Pylyshyn, 1999). But is this true? The very ability to see shapes like the Necker cube as being 3-dimensional is not hardwired. It depends on having had sufficient visual experience (Gregory and Wallace, 1963). For example, one individual who regained sight after being blind between the ages of 3 and 43 described the Necker cube as a \u201csquare with lines\u201d (Fine et al., 2003). Still, it may be argued that given sufficient visual experience, the visual system matures sufficiently to allow the process of computing depth from 2-dimensional cues to function in an automatic bottom-up way free of further influences of knowledge and expectations. But this is not so. Both images in Figure 2B are 2-dimensional and composed of all the same elements. To the \u201cearly\u201d visual system the two objects should look much the same. Yet, the left object is readily seen as a 3-dimensional espresso maker casting a shadow while the object on the right continues to look 2-dimensional (Moore and Cavanagh, 1998). The availability of the 3-dimensional interpretation that is competing (and in this case, quickly winning) when viewing the espresso-maker is simply unavailable for the object on the right until one gains appropriate experience such as glimpsing an enriched grayscale depiction that makes its 3-dimensionality easier to see (see also Sinha and Poggio, 1996).\nFigure 2C shows another example of an ambiguous image of striking simplicity. When shown this image, the majority (28/50) of participants recruited from Amazon Mechanical Turk reported seeing a 2-dimensional figure (Lupyan, unpublished data). Of these, 61% described it in terms of lines and angles and 39% described it in terms of higher level units such as a staircase or sideways alphanumeric characters: an L and two Zs, or two Zs and a 7. But there is a 3-dimensional alternative that was apparent to the remaining 22/50 observers: an embossed letter E. It is possible, of course, that the ability of the latter group to perceive the alternate interpretation is strictly due to differences in perceptual experiences. Perhaps people who see the embossed letter are those who have previously seen many more embossed letters and therefore are better at recognizing them. But when a separate group of 50 participants were presented with the very same image and informed that it was possible to see it as a letter, about 92% were able to see the embossed E, showing that\u2014controlling for prior perceptual experience\u2014simple verbal cues can affect what people see.\nFigure 2D shows a different kind of ambiguity. Here, the bistability is between two meanings that can be constructed from the same visual input by assigning the same contours and feature to different parts: the chin in one alternative is the nose in the other. Switching between the two interpretations can be aided by selectively attending to different parts of the image, but can also be accomplished by nonvisual cues, e.g., hearing a voice of a young woman prior to seeing the display (Hsiao et al., 2012). Figure 2E poses a similar problem to Figure 2D except that seeing the alternative to the initially dominant parrot requires a more significant restructuring of the scene. The alternatives are now not between two kinds of faces, but between a typical-looking parrot and a very atypical woman in body paint. After accomplishing this restructuring, the viewer now has a second stable interpretation that can begin to compete with the initial interpretation (Scocchia et al., 2014). An interesting and to my knowledge untested possibility is that it is only after this initial restructuring that the second interpretation become a target for effective attentional selection.\nAnother example of a basic visual process being affected by knowledge is shown in Figures 2F,G. Lest our visual system be limited to processing a small number of fixed inputs, it is critical to have a way of parsing inputs into constituent (and generative) parts. The most basic way to parse a visual input is by distinguishing the from the ground. How can we tell what is the figure and what is the ground in Figure 2F? The solution originally conceived by the Gestalt psychologists is to formulate a set of perceptual \u2018laws\u2019 (or biases) such as: objects occupy less area than the ground, objects are generally enclosed and form contiguous regions, objects often have symmetrical contours. Notice that none of these make any mention of object meaning and do not take into account prior experience with the candidates for object-hood. As predicted by these Gestalt grouping principles, in Figure 2F-left it is easier to see the center black region as the figure than to see the white \u201csurround\u201d as the figure. In Figure 2F-right, the situation is more ambiguous; the black and white regions appear to make equally good figures. But consider what happens when the figures are rotated by 180\u00b0 (Figure 2G). The Gestalt dispreferred regions now appear as figure in Figure 2G-left, while in Figure 2G-right, the white and black regions are now unambiguously perceived as figure and ground, respectively (Peterson et al., 1991). This basic finding and the subsequent work by Peterson and colleagues (Peterson and Gibson, 1994; Trujillo et al., 2010; Cacciamani et al., 2014) provides an obvious challenge to explaining figure-ground segregation using perceptual laws that are not sensitive to content. The relevance of such findings to CPP is that they show that figure-ground segregation does not operate in a content-neutral way and is sensitive to at least some aspects of meaning (see Peterson, 1994; Vecera and O\u2019Reilly, 1998 for discussion).4 Results such as these also challenge accounts on which perception proceeds through a series of serial operations with earlier ones informationally encapsulated from the results of later ones. Indeed, the idea that object knowledge affects figure-ground segregation appear downright paradoxical if one assumes that the process of figure-ground segregation is what provides the input to later object recognition processes (see also Lupyan and Spivey, 2008; Kahan and Enns, 2014). But finding that recognition can precede and influence such \u201cearlier\u201d perceptual processes is exactly what one would expect if the goal of vision to provide the viewer with a useful representation of the input (Marr, 1982), and to do so as quickly as possible (Bullier, 1999).\nFigure 2H provides another example of the role that prior knowledge can play in constructing meaning from an otherwise meaningless visual input. Often called \u201cMooney images\u201d (Mooney, 1957) such two-tone images can be seen perfectly well, but the majority of people, most of the time, are unable to perceive anything of meaning in the image.5 In the case of Figure 2H, approximately 10% of viewers spontaneously perceive the meaningful object. The situation changes dramatically when people are provided with a verbal hint. Told that there is a musical instrument in the image, about 40% quickly see the trumpet. Such verbal cues not only improve recognition, but have additional perceptual consequences. Perceiving the image as meaningful helps people perform a simple perceptual task\u2014determining whether two Mooney images are identical or not. These behavioral improvements were related to differences in early visual processing (specifically, larger amplitudes of the P1 EEG signal, Samaha et al., 2016; see also Abdel Rahman and Sommer, 2008). Contra Pylyshyn\u2019s (1999, p. 357) statement that \u201cverbal hints [have] little effect on recognizing fragmented figures\u201d, we find that not only do verbal hints greatly enhance recognition, but they facilitate visual discrimination.\nWhat Makes Some Perceptual Interpretations Better Than Others?\nDespite the important differences between the cases shown in Figures 2A\u2013H, there is something to be gained by attempting to unify them through the lens of perception as an inferential process\u2014a process of generating and testing hypotheses (Gregory, 1970; Barlow, 1990; Rao and Ballard, 1999; von Helmholtz, 2005; Enns and Lleras, 2008; see also Clark, 2013; Hohwy, 2013 for overviews). For example, at the level of object representations, the Necker Cube generates three hypotheses: (a) a 2-dimensional collection of lines, (b) 3-dimensional cube extending up, and (c) a 3-dimensional cube extending down. Hypothesis (a) is dispreferred because it leaves too much unexplained. Accepting (a) would mean that the angles and lines are arbitrary. Hypotheses (b) and (c) offer a simpler description: what explains the arrangement of the lines is that they correspond to a cube. These two hypotheses are equally good at accounting for the arrangement of the lines, but yield mutually exclusive percepts and as a result begin to oscillate (see Hohwy, 2013 for general discussion; see Rumelhart et al., 1986; Haken, 1995; Sundareswara and Schrater, 2008 for examples of computational models).\nIn the language of predictive-coding, for someone with normal viewing history, hypothesis (a) has higher surprisal (lower \u2018goodness\u2019) than hypotheses (b) or (c). In Figures 2F,G, a segregating the figure from the ground should take object semantics into account because semantics affects the likelihood that a given feature corresponds to an actual object. We can apply the same principles of predictive coding to better understand what is happening in Figures 2C,H. Representing these as a meaningless collection of arbitrary lines results in a less compressible representation than representing them as meaningful objects (see Pickering and Clark, 2014 for a discussion of the relationship between predictive coding and compressibility). This attempt to \u2018explain away\u2019 sensory inputs in as compact way as possible is a common foundation of the various predictive-coding models of perception (van der Helm, 2000; Huang and Rao, 2011; Friston et al., 2012), with preference for simplicity going well beyond perception (Chater and Vitanyi, 2003; Feldman, 2003).\nIn attempting to \u2018explain away\u2019 Figures 2C,H, however, a hypothesis corresponding to meaningful objects is simply unavailable to most people. As soon as one becomes available, e.g., as a result of a verbal hint, the hypotheses dominates perception and we see the previously meaningless collection of lines as something meaningful percept (an embossed E, a trumpet) (see Christiansen and Chater, 2015 for a discussion of this same idea of continuous re-coding of input into chunks in the domain of language processing).\nAlthough beyond the scope of this paper, it is worth noting that Gestalt principles and other \u201claws of perception\u201d are not in conflict with theories focusing on minimization of prediction error. The latter theories can be seen as attempting to explain perceptual laws in more general terms. For example, a perceptual \u201claw\u201d such as common fate (wherein separate features all moving together against a background are likely to be grouped into a single object) can be thought as minimizing surprisal/ prediction error by positing a hypothesis that the moving parts can be predicted by a single cause\u2014their belonging to one object. This hypothesis is preferable to the more complex alternative (corresponding to higher surprisal/prediction error) of there being multiple independent causes to the common motion. Our resulting percept of a single moving object is the phenomenological consequence of that simpler hypothesis being preferred.\nLearning to associate certain visual inputs with meaningful categories: faces, letters, espresso makers, body-painted women, trumpets, etc., makes these richer hypotheses available as potential alternatives. We (our visual system) can evaluate the likelihood that an input corresponds not just to a visual object, but to a trumpet, or the letter E. These alternatives are preferred to the extent that they offer stronger predictive power, explaining for example, the observed placement of the various visual features. Allowing vision to benefit from these higher-level hypotheses helps make meaning out of noise.\nCuing Perception: Attention as a Mechanism by Which Knowledge Affects Perception\nIn discussing how visual knowledge can lead observers to perceive the same sensory input in different ways, I conflated two kinds of effects of cognition on perception. The first concerns the finding that previous experiences with letters, faces, and various objects look like can influence the operation of even basic perceptual processes like figure-ground segregation and construction of 3-dimensional structure. The second is that it is sometimes possible to change what one sees through various cues. For example, the likelihood that people perceive Figure 2C as a single three-dimensional object is affected by being told that it is possible to see it as a letter. Some critics of CPP contest that CPP of the first type (sometimes called \u201cdiachronic penetrability\u201d, see McCauley and Henrich, 2006 for discussion) is not really evidence of CPP because it merely shows that such visual knowledge has become incorporated into the visual system over time at which point it (apparently) no longer counts as cognitive. I will forego discussing this rather odd argument. Instead, in this section, I elaborate on the second kind of effect\u2014sometimes called synchronic penetrability\u2014wherein similar or even identical inputs are perceived in different ways depending on the cognitive state of the viewer at the time the input is perceived (see also Klink et al., 2012).\nOne way to change perception is by using a perceptual cue. For example, to help people see the embossed E in Figure 2C, one can cue them with a conventional letter \u201cE\u201d (Figure 3, top row). To bias people to see the young woman in Figure 2D, one can cue them with a biased version of the figure (Figure 3, middle row), and to help people see the trumpet in the Mooney image in Figure 2H, one can cue them with a more conventional picture of a trumpet (Figure 3, bottom row) or else trace out the outline of the trumpet in the original image.6 If such perceptual cues were the only way to affect how an ambiguous or under-determined image is perceived, such cueing effects would be of little relevance to CPP. But there are other ways of cueing perception. For example, I suspect that simply hearing \u201cEeee\u201d immediately prior to or during seeing Figure 2C would increase the likelihood of perceiving it as a single three-dimensional letter E. Similarly, an auditory cue\u2014the voice of a younger or older woman biased people to perceive the younger or older woman in Figure 2D, respectively, an effect that was additive with effects of spatial attention (Hsiao et al., 2012). Finally, although not empirically tested to my knowledge, it is conceivable that hearing a trumpet sound can help people see the trumpet in Figure 2H.\nFIGURE 3. Examples of perceptual and linguistic cues that can change how the target image is perceived.\nSuch cross-modal effects are sometimes excluded from counting as instance of CPP because, it is argued, they merely show automatic influences of one perceptual modality on another\u2014an intraperceptual effect (e.g., Pylyshyn, 1999, sect. 7.1) rather than an effects of cognition on perception. Drawing such an intraperceptual boundary strikes me as self-defeating, for it would mean that the knowledge as what an \u201cE\u201d sounds like, male and female voices, and musical instruments would all become part of the perceptual system. Someone holding the view that audiovisual integration does not count as CPP may point to the findings of Alsius and Munhall (2013) which show that audiovisual integration can occur in the absence of conscious awareness of the visual stimulus (see also Faivre et al., 2014) as evidence that such integration occurs in a completely automatic way. But this automaticity is not inevitable: even conventional audiovisual integration can be interfered with by having participants engage in an attentionally demanding task (Alsius et al., 2005).\nWe need not restrict ourselves to literal perceptual cues. The next two columns of Figure 3 show examples of general and more specific linguistic cues to perception. As mentioned above, being informed that it was possible to see a letter in Figure 2C more than doubled the likelihood of people seeing the embossed E, a result that one can speculate would only increase if one was given more precise information via language of what the letter was. In the old-woman/young-woman case, although many people quickly see the ambiguity, the possibility of biasing na\u00efve viewers to one interpretation or another purely through language (i.e., without any overt perceptual cues), and that linguistic instructions continue to be effective in biasing one\u2019s perception (e.g., Hsiao et al., 2012), speaks to the power of language to guide perception in the absence of any overt perceptual cues. In case of the Mooney image depicted in the last row of Figure 3, even superordinate linguistic cues like \u201canimal\u201d and \u201cmusical instrument\u201d aid in recognition of the images. More specific cues (e.g., the word \u201ctrumpet\u201d) are predictably more effective (Samaha et al., 2016). In other work, we have shown using hearing a verbal cue affects visual processing within 100 ms. of visual onset (Boutonnet and Lupyan, 2015), results that we interpret as showing that verbal cues activate visual representations, establishing \u201cpriors\u201d that change how subsequent stimuli are processed (Edmiston and Lupyan, 2015, 2017; Lupyan and Clark, 2015).\nHere, one may again ask whether the power of language to guide and bias perception is due to changing the input to perception via attention. The answer is that it depends on the cue. A location cue like \u201cLEFT\u201d is highly effective in changing where someone attends (Hommel et al., 2001), but because its effect is (presumably) content neutral, it is possible to think of it as merely a change in input. Other linguistic cues, however, have much richer semantic content: hearing \u201cdog\u201d helps people perceive dogs (Lupyan and Ward, 2013; Boutonnet and Lupyan, 2015). One may argue that such effects simply show that language is a good way to \u201crig up\u201d perception (Raftopoulos, 2015b). But rather than being an alternative to CPP, such an argument speaks to the mechanism by which language has its effects. The fact of the matter remains that a person presented with the same sensory input can perceive it in different ways depending on a word they had previously heard (see Lupyan, 2015a for review).\nThe evidence for the various ways in which knowledge affects perception keeps growing. Here is a brief sampling: knowledge of how arms and legs are attached to torsos affects perceived depth from binocular disparity information (Bulthoff et al., 1998). Knowledge that bricks are harder than cheese affects amodal completion (Vrins et al., 2009). Recovery of depth from 2-dimensional images depends in part on object recognition (Moore and Cavanagh, 1998, Figure 2B) as is the arguably more basic process of figure-ground segregation (Peterson, 1994 for review, see also Figures 2F,G). Scene knowledge affects perception of edge orientations (Neri, 2014). Knowledge of the real-world size of, e.g., a basketball affects apparent speed of motion (by altering perception of distance) (Mart\u00edn et al., 2015). Knowledge of usual object colors shades our color perception (Hansen et al., 2006; Olkkonen et al., 2008; Witzel et al., 2011; Kimura et al., 2013; Witzel, 2016) and influences the vividness of color afterimages (Lupyan, 2015b). Meaningfulness of printed words affects their perceived sharpness and influences our ability to detect changes in sharpness (Lupyan, 2017b). Hearing the right word, can make visible something that is otherwise invisible (Lupyan and Ward, 2013).\nIn spite of this evidence and the cases described in Section \u201cThe Role of Attention and Knowledge in the Perception of Simple Ambiguous Figures\u201d, some critics of CPP remain unmoved. One reason for the continued resistance is that many of these results lack the \u201cwow\u201d factor common to many well-known illusions designed to demonstrate the workings of the visual system. For example, Firestone and Scholl (2015, 2016) ask why, if what we know changes what we see, is it so hard to find cases where one can really see these effects for oneself. As a comparison of what it means to see a visual effect for oneself, consider our perception of how bright something is. Naively, one might suppose that it depends simply on the amount of light reflected by a surface (i.e., it\u2019s luminance). That this is not so can be plainly seen in an illusion like the Adelson (1993) Checkerboard in which two surfaces with the same luminance are perceived to have very different brightness.7\nIn this last section I will attempt to explain why demonstrations of CPP tend to be less compelling than conventional visual illusions.8 I then provide a recipe for creating phenomenologically compelling demonstrations of CPP and show two examples.\nWhat makes Adelson\u2019s Checkerboard so compelling as an illusion is that it is possible to prove to the observer that it is indeed an illusion by making the perceived difference in lightness to vanish right before the person\u2019s eyes by, for example, joining the two patches or masking the context thus allowing observers to see that their perception of one patch as being much lighter than the other was being produced by factors other than their luminance. Compared to this level of control we have over factors that induce such illusions, our ability to control the cognitive state of the viewer is far more limited. For example, consider the finding that an objectively achromatic picture of a banana looks yellower than a meaningless color patch (Hansen et al., 2006). If perceived color is truly influenced by knowledge of the object\u2019s canonical color (i.e., reflects our memory of previous experiences with the object), then turning off one\u2019s knowledge that one is looking at a banana should affect perceived color. That would make for a compelling demonstration! But it\u2019s not possible to turn knowledge on and off in this way. So what can we do instead?\nOne solution is to manipulate the strength of the association between the input stimulus and stored representations.9 In Figure 2B, people readily construct a 3-dimensional representation of a 2-dimensional image when it corresponds to a recognizable object, but not when its low-level features are rearranged into a novel image (Moore and Cavanagh, 1998). The difference in 3-dimensional structure is apparent, but the two stimuli are too different from one another to allow for easy comparison. This has the effect of reducing the \u201cwow\u201d factor because to the viewer it just appears that one of the stimuli is 3-dimensional and the other is not. It does not feel like the difference is caused by one\u2019s knowledge. A method that further minimizes physical changes to the sensory inputs while attempting to manipulate knowledge is simple image rotation (e.g., Figures 2F,G, Peterson, 1994). Turning an object upside down maintains all of its low-level visual properties, but weakens its association with a stored higher-level representation (assuming that the object or scene is typically encountered in a canonical orientation). Another way to manipulate knowledge is through cuing. For example, cuing people with an object\u2019s name can enhance the contribution of prior knowledge on perception (Lupyan, 2012; Boutonnet and Lupyan, 2015). A cue can help bias one interpretation over another of ambiguous objects of the kind shown in Figure 2. In instances like Figures 2C,E,H, it can even introduce new interpretations. But almost by definition, such ambiguous objects tend to be lousy examples of the cued categories. Although our phenomenology of Figure 2H is arguably different when we perceive the trumpet, the change is not nearly as phenomenologically compelling as the best visual illusions because the change from a collection of meaningless contours to a collection of contours making up a sketchy outline of a trumpet is too small to elicit a \u201cwow.\u201d The situation is somewhat better in Figure 2C because the alternative made accessible by \u201cthere is a letter here\u201d cue explains more of the unexplained variation.\nTo maximize the \u201cwow factor\u201d would require a stimulus that is easily seen as one thing and then, provided the right cue, can be seen as a good example of something else. In the language of predictive coding, the initial stimulus ought to yield low surprisal, but following a cue the surprisal should increase causing the visual system to reorganize the image into a new percept with low surprisal. Two such cases are shown in Figure 4.\nFIGURE 4. Two especially phenomenologically compelling examples of how what we know can affect what we see. (A) A brick wall that, with the right knowledge, can be seen as something else.10 (B) A pair of legs with two alternative interpretations.11 See notes 10 and 11 for hints regarding alternative interpretations of each image.\nFigure 4A (Plait et al., 2016) shows an apparently perfectly normal brick wall. There does not appear to be anything ambiguous or atypical about it. But being informed of an alternative interpretation changes that. The new interpretation (see endnote), makes the original interpretation a poorer fit to the data (i.e., increases its surprisal) while simultaneously making the new interpretation a better fit to the data. And so, on learning of the new interpretation, our percept is altered. I find it next to impossible to now see the image as I initially saw it (interestingly, rotating the image seems to partly disrupt the effect of the newly acquired knowledge).\nFigure 4B (Krishna, 2016) is another compelling demonstration. Here, people appear to be split on what they initially see (see endnote for the description of the two interpretations). But perhaps because the two interpretations differ considerably in how they account for what is happening with the two legs, and because they both interpretations offer such good, but mutually exclusive accounts of the sensory data, the resulting phenomenological switch when one is cued to the alternative (or discovers it on their own) tends to be more compelling than in the cases of bistability shown in Figure 2.\nPerhaps the simplest way to test the proposition that what we know influences what we see is to find cases where the same sensory input can be perceived in different ways depending on one\u2019s cognitive state, such as what one knows or expects. Findings that attention\u2014a cognitive process\u2014has strong influences on every aspect of perception would seem to provide prima facie evidence for cognitive penetrability of perception (CPP). Yet, critics of CPP have discounted attentional effects, arguing that they either reflect post-perceptual selection among fully realized perceptual representations, or pre-perceptual processes that change the input to perception but not perception itself (Figure 1). I have argued that although some attentional effects may well be post-perceptual, others are clearly not (Sections \u201cDoes Attention Really Affect What We See?\u201d and \u201cAttention as a Post-Perceptual Process\u201d). Some types of spatial attention may indeed be similar to genuine changes in input: attending to the left may be similar to looking to the left in that both improve processing of whatever is on the left regardless of content or the cognitive state that drove the attentional shift. Such attentional effects lack semantic coherence and critics are correct to exclude them from counting as examples of CPP. Other attentional effects, however, do show semantic coherence in that the attentional state is sensitive to content (see The Role of Attention and Knowledge in the Perception of Simple Ambiguous Figures) and so should count as genuine instances of CPP. In Sections \u201cThe Role of Attention and Knowledge in the Perception of Simple Ambiguous Figures,\u201d \u201c,\u201d and \u201cCuing perception: Attention as a mechanism by which knowledge affects perception,\u201d I discussed cases where the same (or similar) visual inputs are perceived differently depending on the observer\u2019s knowledge (Figure 2), and the ability to cue knowledge using both perceptual and non-perceptual linguistic cues (Figure 3). I then discussed some of the reasons why it is often difficult to experience knowledge and cues affecting perception in a phenomenologically compelling way (see The \u201cwow\u201d Factor: When Can We Really See Our Knowledge Impacting Perception?). Lastly, I provided some arguably compelling examples of being able to see for oneself how knowledge can affect what one sees (Figure 4).\nTaken together, the evidence licenses several conclusions. First, it is not possible to characterize attentional effects as non-semantic changes in input of the kind that occur when we look at one location versus another. Rather, attention can and often does operate over dimensions that we normally think of as reflecting meaning and these attentional effects should be counted as genuine instances of CPP. Second, the possibility of exogenously cueing one\u2019s knowledge in real time to bias how something is perceived strongly suggests that under normal circumstances what we see is reflecting our endogenous cognitive state. Third, to understand why these effects often lack the \u201cwow factor\u201d common to the best visual illusions, it is useful to work through the effects through the lens of predictive coding. Knowledge ought to change what we see to the extent that it provides a better hypothesis of the sensory data.\nThe study described in Section \u201cThe Role of Attention and Knowledge in the Perception of Simple Ambiguous Figures\u201d was exempted by the University of Wisconsin\u2013Madison Social and Behavioral Science IRB owing to the anonymity of the participants recruited via Amazon Mechanical Turk and the minimal risk posed by the task of reporting their perception of ambiguous figures.\nThis work was partially funded by NSF PAC 1331293 to the author and was prepared while the author was in residence at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics.\n^ Subsequent work has shown that even such putatively automatic attentional guidance is modulated by the viewer\u2019s expectations (Leonard and Egeth, 2008; Pascucci et al., 2012) and task relevance of the dimensions to be attended (Wolfe et al., 2003; Fecteau, 2007). More generally, the original formulation of perceptual salience in terms of sensory salience (Itti and Koch, 2000) is being supplanted by formulations that incorporate semantic factors into computatios of salience (e.g., Nystr\u00f6m and Holmqvist, 2008; Wolfe et al., 2011; Wu et al., 2014; Santangelo et al., 2015).\n^ Such findings led researchers to formulate the premotor theory of spatial attention on which saccades are covert attentional shifts writ large (see Thompson et al., 2005 for a critical review).\n^ Discussing the Necker Cube, Deroy (2013) writes: \u201cTrivially speaking, two persons confronted to the same visual object in the same illumination conditions may not perceive the same thing because they don\u2019t look at it in the same way.\u201d If by \u201cdon\u2019t look at it in the same way\u201d Deroy means that people attend to different parts of the image, then the argument does not square with the empirical literature because people do in fact see different things even if they attend to the same regions. If by \u201cdon\u2019t look at it in the same way\u201d Deroy means that people look at the same image with different expectations and this affects what they see, then that sure sounds like cognition affecting perception.\n^ Firestone and Scholl (2015) reinterpret Peterson and Hochberg (1983) finding by arguing that the differences between figure-ground assignment in the familiar and unfamiliar orientations \u201cdon\u2019t involve effects of knowledge per se [because] inversion eliminates this effect even when subjects know the inverted shape\u2019s identity\u201d (see Section 2.5 of their paper). This argument confuses different senses of knowledge. We may know in an intellectual sense that an upside\u2013down outline of a woman is still an outline of a woman, but despite this intellectual knowledge it is still harder to recognize the white shapes as a woman\u2019s silhouette in Figure 2F than in Figure 2G. The harder the recognition, the less effect the object representation can have on the figure-ground segregation process as it unfolds.\n^ One may speculate that people\u2019s difficulty with making sense of such images is analagous to the problem faced by individuals with associative object agnosia when they attempt to make sense of more conventional images (Farah, 1990).\n^ That perception can be cued in this way may seem obvious, but we still lack an understanding of how a single perceptual hint can induce a long-term change in the ability to perceive stimuli like the Mooney image in Figure 2H as meaningful.\n^ The Adelson checkerboard illusion can be viewed at (http://web.mit.edu/persci/people/adelson/checkershadow_illusion.html\n^ For brevity and to maintain focus on attention, I have avoided discussing the argument that perception is cognitively impenetrable because knowing about an illusion does not (necessarily) make it go away. For discussion, see Lupyan (2015a, Section 5.1) and Lupyan (2017a, Section 6.3).\n^ This leads to the prediction that a more realistic banana should activate our color knowledge to a greater degree than a less realistic banana (a point frequently lost in philosophical treatments of CPP that tend to think of knowledge as all or none, e.g., Deroy, 2013). Indeed, the memory color effects are stronger when a viewer is presented with a more realistic grayscale image (Olkkonen et al., 2008; see also Lupyan, 2015b for an effect of weakening associations by turning the image upside-down on the perceived vividness of color afterimages).\n^ The \u201ccrack\u201d in the wall is not a crack. It is the tip of a cigar which is stuck into the wall, extending outward.\n^ Many viewers will see two shiny legs because the combination of visual cues is consistent with an interpretation of skin gloss. But there is an equal or better interpretation: the legs are covered with streaks of white paint.\nAbdel Rahman, R., and Sommer, W. (2008).

        "raw_content": "Home Blotch Fort Worthology: A Tale of Two Main Street Plazas\nFort Worthology: A Tale of Two Main Street Plazas\nMain Street in downtown is an interesting environment these days, from the perspective of analyzing the public realm. It\u2019s somewhat enclosed, terminated at the north end by the Tarrant County Courthouse and at the south end by the Fort Worth Convention Center. Like an urban petri dish, it is a kind of microenvironment that can be studied from a variety of approaches.\nWithin the boundaries of Main Street, there are now two large plaza spaces. The most obvious of the pair is Sundance Square Plaza, the multi-million-dollar spectacle that replaced the two dreary parking lots that held down the very heart of Sundance Square for many years. The other is far less famous and far less successful as a public space: General Worth Square, the forgettable patches of grass lining the street in front of the Convention Center.\nIt\u2019s worth looking at Main Street\u2019s two wildly different public spaces, because they showcase how an urban park or plaza can be something that enhances its surroundings, or something that provides little benefit day-to-day.\nSomething I\u2019ve harped on here before is that within an urban setting, context is king. The more a building or space tries to be a solipsist, the harder it is to make it work within a city. The buildings around Sundance Square Plaza interact directly with it \u2013\u2013 coffee shops, patio dining areas, and inviting windows open up directly to the plaza. These buildings provide engagement with the public space and give pedestrians more reasons to be in the plaza other than the act of simply looking around. From every angle and every approach, there is something to engage the eyes and the mind of pedestrians and make them want to be in the space and move around it. Within the plaza itself, there are active and engaging areas like the fountains and more serene, relaxing places like the seating under the four giant shade structures. The designers of Sundance Square Plaza recognized that a city square should not be solely concerned with the features and activities within its own borders. The edges of a public space in an urban setting are as important as the center.\nThis is not to say that every successful urban space must include the variety of activities that Sundance Square does. Even a simpler setting can be made inviting and attractive when it ties itself into its surroundings in healthful and engaging ways.\nSundance Plaza\nThis is part of why General Worth Square is such a nothing of a public space. Carved out of two half-blocks of what used to be Hell\u2019s Half Acre, General Worth has little in the way of real engagement with its surroundings. On the western side of Main Street, it greets the backsides and garbage dumpsters of buildings fronting Houston Street with a concrete wall beneath trees, creating a bleak environment. Nothing that ever happens in those buildings can tie into General Worth Square. The restaurants and bars can\u2019t use it as part of an outdoor seating area. Physical access between the buildings and the square, at its most basic level, is blocked by the wall.\nOn the eastern side of Main Street, General Worth primarily interacts with a pair of parking garage ramps (showcasing how fortunate we are that Sundance Square didn\u2019t put an underground garage beneath the plaza), the valet stand of a hotel, and a nondescript glass office building with no ground-floor engagement. At the corner of 8th and Commerce Streets, there\u2019s a hard-surface plaza space with a modest fountain that\u2019s walled-off from Commerce entirely. (In all honesty, I only remembered this part of General Worth Square existed upon reviewing the location on Google Maps, so completely forgettable is its presence in the fabric of downtown.)\nThe main features of General Worth Square are simply two half-blocks of grass on either side of Main Street. Simplicity is not a bad thing, but there\u2019s nothing interesting or engaging about the central area of the square. Since the buildings around it either turn their backs to it or don\u2019t engage with it in any meaningful way, General Worth Square sits very under-utilized most of the time.\nThe one part of the square that has consistent activity is its newest: a statue of President John F. Kennedy that commemorates his visit to Fort Worth and staying at the nearby Hotel Texas (now Hilton Fort Worth) the day before his assassination. The statue and its small plaza and wall are the only really engaging parts of General Worth Square in its present configuration.\nWorth Square\nGeneral Worth Square is the kind of barren 1970s \u201curban design\u201d that so often resulted in a degradation of true urban life, and which (like so much urban design of the period) missed the point of why cities work in the first place. One hopes that as the southern and eastern sides of downtown develop and re-densify over the coming years, the city will take a fresh look at General Worth Square. It would be worthwhile to consider redesigning it, making it more of an asset and less of a generic, unremarkable \u201copen space,\u201d particularly as there is already a large apartment tower and another hotel in the planning phases nearby. One day, perhaps, Main Street can have a genuinely successful public space at each end.\nFort Worth Courthouse\nPrevious articleTop 5 Shows 11/9-11/11: \u201cFree Friday Night Show at the Chat\u201d Edition\nNext articleOrient Express: Strangers on a Train",

        "title": "Remote Trekking Holidays - Trekking in Laos",
        "raw_content": "Our latest blog on Remote Trekking holidays takes us into South East Asia as we go trekking in Laos.\nLuang Namtha Hills\nLocation: Northern Laos\nChallenge rating: Low\nTrekking in Laos\nMany are familiar with Northern Vietnam\u2019s beautiful highlands, the land of Sapa and its famous hill tribes. Few, however, have heard of, let alone experienced northern Laos\u2019 equally beautiful highlands.\nOften dubbed the \u2018sleeping beauty\u2019 of South-East Asia, Laos has long wowed the few travellers it receives with its quiet beauty and pristine landscapes. Most travellers will focus on a few core areas\u2014the sleepy capital of Vientiane, the enigmatic Plain of Jars, and World Heritage listed Luang Prabang. Very few make it into Laos\u2019 remote northern Hills. Those who do, however, find that the trekking in Laos offers some of the best lightweight trekking of any region in SE Asia.\nMost Northern Laos trekking itineraries start in the town of Luang Namtha, just outside the Nam Ha Protected Area. One of the northernmost outposts on the Laos-China border, Luang Namtha doesn\u2019t offer much in the way of cultural attractions, but, like so many Laotian towns, it has a quiet charm and relaxed atmosphere in keeping with the character of its people. Divided into a \u2018New\u2019 and \u2018Old\u2019 town, most of the tourist infrastructure, so far as it exists, is situated in the New Luang Namtha, while the well-preserved old town, with its stilt homes set amid green paddy fields, offers a glimpse of traditional Laos life.\nOf course, the main attraction of Luang Namtha isn\u2019t the town itself but the landscapes that surround it\u2014the lush forested hills for which this region is best-known. Northern Laos is unique in that it doesn\u2019t have a long dry season. The hills are coloured deep green throughout the year, even when the southern plains are hot and arid. The temperatures are generally cooler than in the south, hovering around the high 20s. Close to Luang Namtha, the land is cultivated, but further afield the hills and forests are wild. This makes for a great trekking environment.\nFrom Luang Namtha, it\u2019s possible to set off into the hills for short day-trips or, if you\u2019re more adventurous, for extended walking expeditions, with the option of either camping or staying in remote hill villages along the way. As in Northern Vietnam, one of the core attractions of Luang Namtha is the local hill tribes, with Ikho, Hmong, and Black Thai villages scattered throughout the region. Many of these tribes live very different lives to the majority Lao population, even practicing alternative religions. They provide a fascinating insight into a vanishing way of life.\nOur Scenic Laos itinerary, which visits Luang Namtha and Muang La, provides a taste of what\u2019s possible during a short visit to the hills of northern Laos. Longer itineraries (up to two weeks) are also an option for those who really want to get a feel for the local culture and environment. The terrain is beautiful but generally very easy\u2014this is not a tough trekking environment.\nGet in touch if you\u2019d like to learn more about the possibilities for trekking in Laos around Luang Namtha.\n\u2026 And keep an eye out for our upcoming blog on another of South-East Asia\u2019s least-known walking destinations, Putao in northern Myanmar.\nPrevious PostTop five small group adventure holidays for 2015Next PostAdventure Holiday in Oman\nOne thought on \u201cREMOTE TREKKING HOLIDAYS \u2013 TREKKING IN LAOS\u201d\nrene van den hout says:\nWe are two friends from Holland and we will to make a trekking in the north part of Laos.\nIt will be next year 2016 in May.\nIs it possible that you can organize a trekking for us for two weeks?\nWe like to walk with backpack and to meet the local people and to enjoy the nature.\nWe prefer to make 2 trekkings for 3 \u00e1 4 days in a National Park or another area with a private local guide and sleep and eat by the locals in a home stay.\nMaybe you have other ideas or us for hiking and to see beautiful places and meet the local people in the villages and have a good time in Laos.\nRene van den Hout",

He then retired from the council in May 1990.\nThe funeral is at St Barnabas Church, Great Tey, on May 22 at 3pm.\nREAD MORE: GREAT TEY FARMER FIGHTS CORNER ON ORGANIC ISSUES\nTaken in July 1980 in High Street, Colchester\n'HE WAS ONE OF NATURE'S TRUE GENTLEMAN'\nCOLCHESTER High Steward Sir Bob Russell has paid tribute to a political rival but respected friend.\nSir Bob served on the borough council with Mr Browning for many years, describing him as \u201cone of nature\u2019s true gentleman\u201d.\nHe said: \u201cHe was someone who not only represented the people of Great Tey with great distinction, but also his country as an Army officer in the brutal Burma campaign during the Second World War.\u201d\nAlthough Sir Bob and Mr Browning were in opposing parties, he had considerable respect for the Conservative farmer, who he recalled took a deep interest in planning and Colchester\u2019s rich heritage, and was keen on promoting quality architectural design.\nHe said: \u201cRoger Browning had an impish grin and a quiet chuckle. People listened when he spoke because they knew he was someone who combined passion with realism.\n\u201cHe and Rosemary had a fantastic mayoral year.\n\"It was a pleasure to have known him, and been partners in the new borough council which was created in 1974 with the merger of the town and villages.\u201d\n'I'M VERY SAD HE'S GONE'\nFELLOW honorary alderman Mary Fairhead remembers the colleague whose character she admired.\nMr Browning was a \u201clifelong friend\u201d of Mary\u2019s late husband Richard Fairhead, who died in 1994.\nGiven the Brownings and the Fairheads were two major farming families, the men had known each other since they were young boys.\nMr Browning was an ex-pupil at the Friends\u2019 School in Saffron Walden from 1931 to 1938.\nMary served with him on Colchester Council since she joined in 1976.\nThe former planning committee councillor said: \u201cI\u2019m very sad he\u2019s gone.\n\u201cHe was an extremely nice gentleman, something there\u2019s not very much of nowadays.\u201d\nEven after Mary left the council in 2002, she and Mr Browning would see one another as alderman colleagues.\nShe said: \u201cRoger was a highly principled and kind man.\n\u201cHe was chairman of the planning committee for some time and did that very well, being very fair to all of us councillors.\u201d\nREAD MORE: WHY THE COUNCIL MUST NOT SELL THE JEWEL IN COLCHESTER'S CROWN",

        "raw_content": "Phones 4U Will Not Deliver or Refund iPhone 6 Pre-orders\n8:55 am September 28, 2014 By Hammad Saleem\nPhones 4U is no longer operational as you know, and has entered administration after Vodafone and EE cancelled their contracts with the retailer. This led to its closure, putting at stake over 5,000 jobs, out which several stores have been acquired by Vodafone and EE. Dixon Carphone also took 800 staff members of the retailer, thus saving jobs.\nThere\u2019s a bad news for customers who pre-orders the iPhone 6 from the retailer. Previously, the company mentioned all those who pre-ordered the iPhone 6 or the 6 Plus will get a refund, but it seems that\u2019s not the case. As per a message posted on the website, the company doesn\u2019t have the devices, so customers who pre-ordered them won\u2019t receive them.\nThe joint administrators answered some questions on the company\u2019s website, and as far as the customers who pre-ordered the iPhone 6/6 Plus are concerned, they are requested to get in touch with their credit card company to resolve the issue. They can also register a claim, but it will be ranked as an unsecured one.\nUnfortunately we do not have any iPhone 6\u2019s therefore customers who have pre-ordered an iPhone 6 through Phones 4u will not receive their purchase. Customers who have paid using credit cards should contact their credit card company to try and seek resolution to this matter. If you are unable to obtain a refund through your credit card company and wish to register a claim, your claim (to the extent you have one) will rank as an unsecured claim in the Administration \u2013 please see below for further details.\nWe\u2019re hoping credit card companies will be able to help the customers.\nSource: Phones 4u, TechnoBuffalo",

        "title": "Portrait of Professor David A Scott, 2018 | Geoffrey Kaye Museum of Anaesthetic History",
        "raw_content": "At the end of each president\u2019s term, the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists (ANZCA) commissions a portrait. There is now quite the collection of painted portraits dating back to 1992, when the college formally came into being. In 2016, ANZCA Council decided to work with photography as a medium for these portraits, and outgoing president, Dr Genevieve Goulding, worked with photographic portrait artist, Chris Budgeon, to create her portrait. In 2018, the immediate past president, Professor David A Scott also chose to work with Chris, producing a very different portrait, which is now hanging in the Council Room. Professor Scott has prepared some reflections about the process and the outcome.\nArtist: Chris Budgeon\nLocation: St. Vincent\u2019s Hospital Melbourne, Fitzroy. Operating Suite (OR 8)\nDate taken: 17 September 2018\nLocation in an operating room because that is where the majority of my professional career has been spent in providing clinical anaesthesia, as is true for most specialist anaesthetists. The venue was chosen after consideration of a number of options including the President\u2019s office, Council room and the garden in front of ANZCA. The theatre (and lights) were commissioned in 1995 (only 3 years after the College was independently established from RACS) and so rather than represent a newer \u2018cutting edge\u2019 environment, it is more contemporary to my latter career and practice.\nWearing theatre scrubs, because again that is what we (as anaesthesiologists) most commonly are wearing during day-to-day work, and many patients identify with this. Clearly it is relative, but it is valuable to emphasise. The logo, \u201cCLS\u201d represents a linen service delivered by a private hospital group (Cabrini). This could be suggested to be linking public and private health care.\nThe President\u2019s Medal is essential and represents my role with the College and its Faculty of Pain Medicine, and the binational representation of the organisation. It is not around my neck because the link to the College for most fellows during clinical work is \u2018side by side\u2019 rather than surrounding. It would also be at odds visually with the clinical role in scrubs to have it round my neck.\nThe Infusion pump in the background is symbolic and represents three things. It is set up as a local anaesthetic infusion for an epidural or perineural catheter infusion for intra-operative use and post-operative analgesia. First is that it represents my long-term interest in regional anaesthesia in both clinical practise and research. Second, and importantly, is that it represents Acute Pain Medicine which I have been involved with for over 30 years and is my link to my Fellowship of the Faculty of Pain Medicine. Finally, its role in postoperative care is an acknowledgement of future, more formalised, perioperative medicine roles of anaesthesia and pain medicine.\nThe pen in my pocket represents communication. Documentation and communication is essential to medical practice and effective and safe patient care. Although electronic medical records are phasing in, almost all my practice has been with pen and paper record keeping. As a deliberate inclusion, the pen is from the Australian Society of Anaesthetists, and thus also represents my, and the College\u2019s, important and close relationships with the Australian and New Zealand Societies.\nMy watch is electronic and connected by Bluetooth to my phone and the world. This represents my perspective for the future, in communication, connectivity and patient care and monitoring.\nThe process of commissioning and creating the portrait. This is only the second photographic portrait that the college has commissioned after Council decided to discontinue painted portraits of past presidents. In consultation with Monica Cronin, whose views I respect and value, and who is Curator of the ANZCA Geoffrey Kaye Museum of Anaesthetic History, I decided to work with Chris Budgeon, who had done the portrait of the previous president (Genevieve Goulding). Chris seemed to have an eye for the individual in their environment, which I liked, and also he used the \u2018darker\u2019 tones (optically, not sinister) in his work which tended to support my view of how the background could be represented. His assistants, Sam Costin and Eve von Bibra were great (although Eve made my hair too neat!). Chris was a pleasure to work with and generous in incorporating my (few) suggestions. For my gaze, he asked me to think of something that was important to me. The outcome is for others to judge, but I am very content with the process, support, and how it seems to have worked out.\nProfessor David A Scott",

        "raw_content": "Dr Natalie Apelbaum, BBNSc, MBBS, is an Intensive Care and Emergency registrar at The Alfred Hospital, Melbourne\nIt never ceases to amaze me where medical history reveals itself, often in the most obscure places. We are constantly surrounded by it, in the tales of patients from generations past, in the textbooks that provide a teaching platform for our training, in the tell-tale \u2018rusty instruments\u2019 lying in the back cabinets of antique stores. All of which provide an enriching and humbling insight into the growth of medicine.\nIt was only recently, on a seaside holiday that my partner stumbled across a book that would prove more interesting than initially anticipated. It was at the bottom recesses of the cabinet that \u201cDoron Medicum\u201d sat, in its old leather binding with only a faded title. Detected by my partner\u2019s keen eye for Latin, it revealed itself to be the first edition book titled \u201cDoron Medicum: OR, A Supplement to the New London Dispensatory\u201d. Written by William Salmon, a self-proclaimed Professor of Physick, this book was published in 1683 by Dawks, Basset, Wright and Chiswell. Doron Medicum formulated a supplement to the Materia Medica (16th Century), discussing internal and external compound medicines of the late 17th Century.\nMy initial literature review on William Salmon found many contemporaries defaming him as a \u201cquack\u201d. In a time when medicine was grossly unregulated, quacks were not hard to come by. However, my research shows that his literary success and participation in debate suggest Salmon was indeed a learned man and advocate, with a great understanding of the medical system of the 17th Century.\nFurther research indicated that the historical events surrounding this book were equally as fascinating as the content. During the 17th Century, medicine was experimental and prescribed treatments were often obscure and poorly regulated. At a time in London\u2019s history when medicine was grossly ungoverned, great competition existed between the College of Physicians and The Worshipful Society of Apothecaries. During the Great Plague in London (1665-1666), a large majority of the poor demographic were affected. The poor could not afford treatment from physicians, many of whom are said to have fled London, and apothecaries provided a large contribution of their care. Decades later, a series of debates in the name of public health surrounded the opening of the first London Dispensary for the Poor in 1698. William Salmon found himself amidst the colourful discussion.\nIn addition to the rich history of this era, the content of this book provides interesting reading. The opiology chapter highlights the extensive knowledge of various poppies, extraction techniques, methods of compounding and dose-response theories. This confirms that pain management and early analgesia were well established. Laudanum (tincture of opium) was used extensively.\nNotable and obscure treatments include that for the affects of the heart, which consisted of laudanum, syrup of limons, waters of cinnamon, roses, water lilies, borage, confection of alkermes, tincture of coral and the salt of pearls.\n\u201cLaudanum stomach pills shall be taken going to sleep, cheers and revives the heart, prevalent against the colic\u201d.\nMan\u2019s skull crushed into a powder makes a recurrent appearance. The book documents taking skulls of men killed in a violent death, beating them into small pieces and placing them into a furnace of reverberation. Documentation states it to be the \u201cmost admirable thing in the falling sickness, palsy, convulsion and fits of the mother\u201d.\nTreatment of vertigo included laudanum, the oil of man\u2019s skull, magestery of coral and unicorns horn. Now known as a mythical creature and widely featured in children\u2019s stories and movies, the unicorn and its horns, were thought to have healing powers and antidote properties in the 17th Century. Such healing powers have been dispelled and the unicorn was subsequently acknowledged to be the narwhal.\nThe essence of dragons blood, a bright red acrylic-like substance obtained from Dracaena Drago tree sap, was recommended for the treatment of haemorrhage, haemorrhoids and bloody excretion. This was mixed with laudanum of course, creating a thick red substance providing a visual parallel to blood.\nAlcohol was incorporated into the recommended treatment of liver failure! Mercury appeared widely, and blood obtained from healthy men was used in many oral remedies. However, such blood was oddly only to be obtained from \u2018men not having red hair\u2019.\n\u201cBlood taken from a healthy young male, not having red hair, will cure the falling sickness even of elderly men, all diseases of the brain and nerves, purify the whole mass of blood, radically destroy the scurvy, make the blood fluid and help its circulation\u201d.\nOf particular interest is an entire section relating to animal preparations and treatments.\n\u201cDry dung infused in white wine is specific against epilepsy and vertigo, more especially if given at the New and Full Moon.\u201d\nFrogs cut into pieces and instilled were used for gout, internal pains of the reins, ureters and bladder. It was also recommend for hair growth and used as a treatment for gonorrhoea. Bees calcined and reduced to a powder were combined with the oil of nuts for hair growth assistance.\nThe content of this book and its rich history has proven to be fascinating, insightful and at times quite bizarre, highlighting the advancements in medicine over the last few centuries. It also echoes the humbling truth that although we feel advanced in our current medical practice, it is likely that our colleagues in centuries to come will look back at our practice with the same sentiment.\nImage 1: Title Page \u2013 \u201cDoron Medicum: OR, A Supplement to the New London Dispensatory\u201d by William Salmon.\nImage 2: Portrait engraving William Salmon \u2013 \u201cDoron Medicum: OR, A Supplement to the New London Dispensatory\u201d.\nImage 3: Unicorn.

        "raw_content": "A heat pump manufacturer's specifications are published for a reason!\nHeat pumps will run under a fairly wide set of operating parameters. They will work with a wide range of entering water and air temperatures and flow rates. But just because a heat pump will run under a wide range of conditions doesn't mean they will operate efficiently. To maximize the efficiency and capacity of a heat pump, a designer should become familiar with the specification catalog supplied by the manufacturer.\nThe specification catalog from a reputable manufacturer will typically show the capacity, efficiency and power draw of a heat pump at two or three air flow rates. The last two lines of the first chart shows the data of a heat pump operating at an air flow rate of 1,080 cfm (510 l/s) and 1,250 cfm (590 l/s). The second column shows the heating capacity (HC) drops from 34.8 kBtu/hr (10.2 kW) to 34.1 kBtu/hr (10.0 kW)...a drop of 2%, and the power draw increases from 2.26 kW to 2.36 kW...an increase of 2%, and that the overall COP drops from 4.33 to 4.08...a drop of almost 6%!\nA reputable manufacturer will also include an \"Air Flow Correction Table\" in the specification catalog that shows the percentage change in heating and cooling capacity and power draw at a wide range of different air flow rates. When you are designing or installing a water to air heat pump system, care should be taken to ensure the ductwork is designed for the air flow recommended by the manufacturer. It should be emphasized to the owner that the air filter should be changed or cleaned regularly.\nAnd when you are installing a system in a new home or building, it must be emphasized to the homeowner and/or builder that the heat pump should not be operated until the home is completely finished and you have commissioned the heat pump. This should be done to avoid the chance of dust from construction, especially from drywall, from clogging the air coil.\nThe catalog data does not show an additional, and very important reason, for ensuring the heat pump is operated at the recommended air flow rates. As the heat pump capacity drops and the power draw increases, the compression ratio of the compressor increases. The compressor has to work harder. This reduces the longevity of the compressor and it increases the potential for noise complaints from the home or building owner.",

        "raw_content": "This is especially true for anyone who has parents who rely on them, a spouse who is financially dependent or children who require care and attention.\nWhen investigating life insurance policies, most people forget all about the offshore options. Although offshore investments are rapidly gaining popularity as a wealth-diversification tool, fewer investors are aware of the option of offshore planning services.\nDiscover the benefits of offshore life insurance to find out if it might be suitable for you, your future and the protection of your loved ones.\nYou Will Still Get Plenty of Policy Choices\nOne of the big concerns of those planning to choose a life insurance policy offshore is that they will be limited to just a handful of policy options. Thankfully, that simply isn't the case. Just as if you were choosing a policy in the United States, you will have life insurance options offshore.\nSome of the most popular choices include that of term life insurance, variable universal whole life insurance and standard whole life insurance. You still have the opportunity to choose a plan, or combination of plans, that protects your assets and your loved ones.\nYou Can Have Control Over Your Life Insurance Investments\nWhen you take out a traditional life insurance policy with a major provider in the United States, you very often have minimal control over the investment once your check gets cashed. You simply make an investment, and your heirs or trustees will reap the theoretical future payments in the event that they are needed.\nBy investing in an offshore life insurance policy, however, you may be able to take a more important role in determining how the capital gets invested. If your investments are successful, you will have more money to leave behind to your family.\nLower Costs of Policy Maintenance\nAs you might be able to imagine, the costs of running a financial institute at many international locations are cheaper than in the United States. Staff salaries are lower, and overhead costs in general for things like utilities and rent are also lower. These reduced costs mean that you can pay less for policy maintenance through an offshore corporation than through a domestic one.\nIf you are getting ready to purchase life insurance, make sure that you choose a policy that meets your family's interest.",

        "raw_content": "Thursday, Sep 13, 2018 12:22 AM\nDefensive Coordinator James Bettcher\nOpening Remarks: Dallas Cowboys \u2013 obviously a division team, on the road. As we know, there is a very storied history between the Cowboys and Giants. When you\u2019re a kid sitting watching the games on TV, you remember watching the Cowboys play the Giants, but most importantly, it\u2019s a division game and probably even more importantly than that, it\u2019s the next game. A run offense that runs the ball really well. They\u2019re going to give 21 (running back Ezekiel Elliott) a bunch of touches, they\u2019re going to find some really creative ways to get him going. They\u2019re going to stretch it hard and cut the ball back, they\u2019re going to give you some gap scheme with some pullers, they\u2019re going to get big personnel on the field, they\u2019re going to run the ball down the field at you. You\u2019re going to get a little bit of everything. They do a nice job with that. Then after that, the boots, the play passes, the taking a shot down the field, some movement stuff to get completions, and try to get you in some one-on-ones on the perimeter and throw the ball down the field. It\u2019s going to be a great challenge and I think our guys had really good prep yesterday. It was a better Wednesday than last week, I will say that. More importantly, we just came from a good walk-thru. That was the next thing. That\u2019s all we\u2019re going to do this whole season, win/lose doesn\u2019t matter \u2013 that\u2019s not going to change our preparation. It\u2019s process, process, process. That\u2019s what we talked about defensively when we came into the meeting room and watched tape on Monday. That being said, I\u2019ll take your questions.\nQ: Why was it a better Wednesday than last week? What did you see from them?\nA: I felt great energy on the field, I really did. I think our guys are building confidence every day. At the end of the day, the years of experience of the players on the field doesn\u2019t matter as much as their experience of snaps playing together. The more these guys play together, the better they\u2019re going to be able to play off of each other and with each other. Defensively, I can see that confidence growing day-by -day, both in the communication part of it which is going to be vital, and then the execution of the jobs they need to do.\nQ: I know it\u2019s a little different at this stage of the season when it comes to practice, you can\u2019t tackle to the ground or anything like that, but how helpful is it having a (running back) like (Saquon Barkley) go against your defense every day, going into a matchup with a very similar running back?\nA: We have one of the premier backs in the league, there\u2019s no question. He showed that on Sunday, he gave us a bunch of excitement, he got guys going on the sideline with that special run he had. Seeing him play in practice and defending a guy that can split out and catch the ball, and put him in the backfield to run the ball downhill at you makes great one-cut moves and will, at the same time, lower his pad and power you \u2013 there\u2019s certainly some similarities, and I\u2019m glad we\u2019ve got Saquon. That\u2019s for sure.\nQ: How different is it preparing for them without Jason Witten and Dez Bryant, two guys who\u2019ve been there for what feels like forever?\nA: When you talk about a tight end, arguably one of the best ones \u2013 top-five to ever play the game, certainly a lot of respect for him as a player. They\u2019re working right now to try to find who those guys are on the perimeter \u2013 who\u2019s going to get the big touches on the outside as a receiver and which tight end\u2019s maybe going to be the focal point. I think at the end of the day, they have a belief and philosophy on offense and that starts with running the football. That didn\u2019t matter if Dez was in the game or it didn\u2019t matter who the tight end was, that\u2019s the focus, and the play-action pass that boots off of that.\nQ: You limited the Jaguars to 13 points as a defense, shut them out in the second half. How do you feel about your defensive performance coming off last week? You lose the game, but you shut them out in the second half.\nA: Make no mistake, we don\u2019t feel great about losing, number one. Two, I love the energy and the effort we played with. There\u2019s some plays on tape where there\u2019s balls that are the sideline and I\u2019m seeing eight, nine and ten guys show up, and that\u2019s who we have to be and that\u2019s what our opponents need to see on tape when they turn us on, and really, that\u2019s what our fans should expect and deserve from us. There were some plays in the run game that we need to fit better and we need to play better, the backed up run is a disappointing play certainly because that\u2019s points. We hold them backed up, we\u2019re thinking that\u2019s a scoring play on defense, and we just need to execute better. Very encouraged but at the same time, I love the thought that we came in with on Monday. We talked about what we needed to correct and our guys are really working like pros and are working to correct those things so we can stack that stuff, and we don\u2019t have to go back and correct some of the same stuff over again.\nQ: How vital is the pass rush this week against a quarterback like (Dak Prescott) who, if he gets loose, can make a big run?\nA: Yeah, I experienced it last year when we played them. He got out of the pocket twice on us and he hurt us getting out of the pocket. The pass rush is important, but controlled rush is just as important with him. Just like we did last week, we were trying to make him throw from tight levels, make him field a pocket, close in on him. It\u2019s not about whether you say the word spy or don\u2019t spy, some people use that term. It\u2019s eyes \u2013 who has eyes, who is the guy that has eyes on the quarterback as we\u2019re trying to still aggressively rush with four or five, or whatever that might be.\nQ: What did you think of the pressure overall last week? I think you had one sack.\nA: I thought there were a couple times in our four-man rush where I just have to coach it a little bit better, that\u2019s really where it starts. I have to get us so we\u2019re not high on rushes and we can field the counters on the perimeter, then in some of our pressures, just understanding if we\u2019re getting the back or we\u2019re getting the tight end, those are the muscle-in situations in the rushes. Sometimes, we never get confused \u2013 we would love every time you call pressure that we have bunch of guys running free. That\u2019s not the reality of it. The reality of it is that you try to create one-on-one matchups and you try to win those one-on-one matchups, and make quarterbacks\u2019 timing and thought process have to speed up. There are some good stuff, and there\u2019s some stuff, in terms of the edge and feeling how high we are in rushes also, some of the one-on-ones we need to do a better job of.\nQ: How do you think your two rookies \u2013 (B.J. Hill and Lorenzo Carter) \u2013 handled themselves in their first NFL game?\nA: I think both of them played well. Lorenzo played a little over 30 snaps in the game and I think the more he played, the better he played, and I think B.J. was the same way. The longer the game went on, the better he got. We\u2019ve just got to be clued in. Early in this game, we need those end-of-game snaps that we got from both of those guys, we need them earlier in this game.\nQ: How do you miss Olivier Vernon?\nA: When you\u2019re talking about one of the elite pass rushers in the league, do you miss him? Sure, you\u2019d love to have him. You go ask the 31 other (teams) if they want OV, all 31 will say yes. I do love the make-up of that room. I love Connor Barwin, Kareem Martin and Lorenzo Carter. All those guys got their hand on the pylon, you can see them. We\u2019re lining them up in different spots, sometimes Connor\u2019s inside, sometimes Kareem\u2019s inside, and we\u2019re moving them around and trying to get them on matchups. They\u2019ve embraced all of it and working their tails off. As a group, I like how they play as a group.\nQ: The secondary, I think you had two passes in 20 yards and long, was that just good coverage on your guys?\nA: We don\u2019t want any passes of 20 yards of more. That\u2019s what I would say to our guys in the room. I think those guys in the back did a heck of a job, they really did. Some of it was just awareness, and that\u2019s each and every week. You go and look at a new opponent and what are the splits, and what are the routes you\u2019re getting out of those splits, and if the tight ends here vs. the tight ends there \u2013 we\u2019ve just got to keep growing that situational awareness and we\u2019ve got to keep coaching the heck out of it and do a better job coaching it. I thought that was something going into that game, our guys played with pretty good awareness.\nQ: With (Landon Collins), he\u2019s such a playmaker being aggressive going forward. Can teams try to neutralize that factor that he\u2019s such a playmaker going forward? When he has that big splash play, it kind of gets everybody going.\nA: There\u2019s no question. I mean, can they scheme against him? I\u2019m sure they can try to do that stuff, and at the end of the day, we\u2019ve got to do a good job as coaches putting him in good spots, number one, and moving him around a little bit number two, then at the end of the day, don\u2019t make it too hard. Get down, play, get your eyes right, get in a good stance, and it\u2019s football. We won\u2019t overthink it, and try to get a win on Sunday.\nQ: How did you evaluate the offensive line\u2019s play?\nA: I think in general, offensively, I think we got off to a slow start and I think all of us, in that regard, but once we kind of got our feet settled underneath us a little bit, the guys did a good job protecting in the second quarter, protection-wise first and second quarter, in the third quarter and in the fourth quarter there was some really good pockets. At time we took advantage of it, other times we had some near misses so I think all of us, not just the offensive line, need to get out to a little better start and be consistent. Then in the run game I think that we were just a little off early as well, but as we know, it takes all of us. With a guy like Saquon (Barkley) back there in the running game, you just got to keep going, keep going, staying on guys and eventually you think he\u2019s going to break one, kind of like this Sunday.\nQ: Wondering how much you attribute it to your group not being much together, it\u2019s a totally new line. How much does that actually factor in your mind?\nA: That\u2019s a fine line in having excuses and just \u2013 I think you have to look at that a little bit and be realistic, but also we\u2019re here to win right now and that\u2019s the most important thing I think. Obviously having a game now under our belt with the 11 guys in there that we hadn\u2019t had in there earlier in the preseason is going to be helpful and like I said, hopefully we\u2019ll be able to see that improvement from week one to week two.\nQ: As the game went on it looked like you gave Ereck Flowers more help on that side. Is that something you feel you\u2019re going to have to do at the start of the game?\nA: Well I think in general protection-wise you have to \u2013 everything ties in together. Guys have to win one-on-one\u2019s. You\u2019re going to have times where you\u2019re going to slide. You want to mix your protections up whether or not you\u2019re keeping your backs and tight ends in or free releasing them, not being predictable. I think that\u2019s probably the biggest thing, more so, and it\u2019s whether or not you want a five-man protection or six-man protection or seven-man protection. To start with guys got to know what they\u2019re doing, know where their help is, got to get the ball out on time and then when we have backs or tight ends helping out, chipping on the way out or involved with protection, we got to do a good job with that too.\nQ: Did you learn something about Ereck in that first game? He\u2019s never played there before.\nA: Yeah, I think we all learned a lot about everybody so we just all need to be more consistent in regard to number one, be more consistent and number two get off to a better start. That better start doesn\u2019t mean we need to score 14 points right out of the gate, that\u2019d be great, but just eliminate the negative plays. We had way too many negative plays whether or not they were penalties or plays for losses early that kind of dug us into a hole. When you look at our drives, the times we didn\u2019t have that, we were moving the ball and then we got to get in the end zone.\nQ: How\u2019s that change your offense when you have to keep an extra tight end on the line to block?\nA: I think every week we plan on mixing our protections whether or not it\u2019s a five-man, six-man or seven-man protection so it\u2019s not really \u2013 I think it\u2019s, so far since we\u2019ve been here, it\u2019s been consistent with other places I\u2019ve been in regard to having a plan for different types of protections.\nQ: In an offense, with the receivers, do you want them all to get the same amount of touches or do you go with who is hot and he gets the most?\nA: Yes, to both questions. Yeah, I mean throw to the open guy and get the ball there on time and accurately. The main thing for the quarterback is make good decisions and make them on time and obviously the physical part there is getting the ball there accurately. We don\u2019t want the quarterback thinking about you have to throw to this guy or you\u2019ve thrown too many times to this guy, you have to throw over there. It just happens natural with his progressions and his reads. Then us as coaches, if there\u2019s \u2013 obviously you\u2019re looking for things that are good looks and if they\u2019re not good looks then you have to have change up looks of it or that\u2019s where your quarterback is so important to make sure he doesn\u2019t try to force it.\nQ: What did you think of Eli\u2019s game?\nA: Like the whole offense, I think there was some signs of really good play. I loved the way he moved in the pocket and he gets the ball out fast and we just weren\u2019t quite consistent enough and we just had a couple opportunities where if we hit him, we can get points on the board and then it might be a totally different ball game so I think he\u2019s like everybody else just working on being more consistent, but there\u2019s a lot of good things there that we want to continue to build on and then there\u2019s some other things we think we can get better.\nQ: Given that Odell had 4.6 yards of separation, could his day have been and maybe should his day have been even bigger and your day as an offense bigger?\nA: Should we have throw to him more? Is that what you\u2019re saying?\nQ: Or hit him when he was open.\nA: Well we try to complete all of our passes so hopefully we\u2019ll continue to stride in that regard.\nQ: But you know what I\u2019m asking, you have a premier guy who is against a really good defense, but he is getting really, NFL-wise, open targets to his quarterback.\nA: Yeah that\u2019s good and hopefully he\u2019ll continue to do that and again, it kind of goes back to an earlier question I think that you want to be able to allow your guys to do what they do best and then get the ball to them and yet not be predictable. It\u2019s a fine line in doing that and forcing the ball to certain guys. Then all of a sudden you have Saquon back there as well. You can say, \u2018Well, did you give him enough carries?\u2019 so those are all good questions to answer and I think that as we move forward we\u2019ll continue to (answer). The biggest thing for us to do offensively is make first downs and stay on the field so then you have more opportunities for everybody.\nQ: Did you give him enough carries when you said that to yourself?\nA: I think we had a good balance and I think that, again, it\u2019s about maximizing, whatever the call is, what we\u2019re doing run or pass. Just got to win a game now.\nQ: What did you tell Kaelin Clay after that play?\nA: Just catch the ball. Protect himself. There\u2019s no reason, in that situation, we had a blocker on him and just protect yourself with a fair catch. Just being situationally aware, that\u2019s all.\nQ: Do you intend to give him another chance back there?\nA: Yes, he\u2019s like any other player. You\u2019re not just going to give him one chance and throw him away. There\u2019s a lot of things that happen over the course of the game that we all kind of want to get back, but Kaelin is a pro. This is his third year (in this league) going in, he\u2019s made a lot of plays in this league, and I expect him to do that moving forward.\nQ: How do you feel about your unit overall?\nA: It\u2019s okay. I think there\u2019s a lot of things we can do moving forward to get better, especially in the return game. I see us taking big steps moving forward, and I look forward to doing that.\nQ: For the last punt return, Coach Shurmur\u2019s talked about situational use of (Odell Beckham Jr.) or (Saquon Barkley) \u2013 situational maybe being when you\u2019re behind, in that kind of a situation. Is there a discussion between you two at that point at all?\nA: It\u2019s always something in our minds that we can possibly potentially do, but it just didn\u2019t happen. It was one of those things that looking back at, maybe you could do something different and maybe not. Maybe you stay in the same situation, depending on Kaelin making the play. He makes the play, we go down and we score, we\u2019re not even talking about it. It\u2019s just one of those deals. In the moment, you make a decision and you live with it.\nQ: The fact that the block was on him \u2013 having the block on him and having Odell back there probably would not sync up. If you\u2019re going to have Odell back there, you\u2019re going to have a return?\nQ: With the way they regulate the way the kickoff team can operate, would Saquon as a kickoff returner be interesting because he would get that full head of steam, perhaps? He would have that advantage now?\nA: I think if you put Saquon in any situation, it would be interesting (laughter). But no, I agree with you. I will continue to say this \u2013 any time you put the ball in the hands of a great playmaker, it\u2019s always a positive.\nQ: I know it\u2019s the head coach\u2019s call, which you might say to me, but then why not do it?\nA: You answered your own question. Again, that\u2019s one of those deals where that\u2019s above my pay grade. I would welcome Saquon back there any time.\nQ: Maybe there\u2019s something I\u2019m missing, but why would having a punt block on preclude using Odell in that spot?\nA: You can put him back there in any situation, it doesn\u2019t have to be that situation. But that situation, you just catch the ball. Odell back there, Kaelin back there, it doesn\u2019t matter, just catch the ball.\nQ: What do you like about Cody Latimer as a kick returner?\nA: He\u2019s a big, strong man that has really good straight-line speed and he\u2019s done it before in his career and been effective at it. We like what we saw when he was in Denver and he\u2019s the same way here. Again, we had one attempt and we\u2019ll obviously have some more moving forward. I think Cody is a very reliable candidate to do that job.\nQ: You weren\u2019t here with (Aldrick Rosas) last year but I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve watched a lot of film on him. Does he look different? Does he look more confident?\nA: Absolutely. He\u2019s like any other young player. You look forward to watching them mature. The maturation process has been really, really fun to watch. He\u2019s a very talented young player that has a ton of upside, and he\u2019s learning. He\u2019s like any young player in this league, you learn from your mistakes and you just continue to work to get better and he\u2019s done that.\nQ: What was it like bringing Tom Quinn back and how has he helped in his role?\nA: Tom\u2019s been great. We worked together for four years, so it\u2019s like putting the band back together. Tom is very knowledgeable, very detailed, very organized in what he does and he definitely brings a lot to the room. We work well together.\nQ: But there\u2019s a new lead singer in the band \u2013 he used to be your boss and now you\u2019re his. How does that dynamic work between the two of you?\nA: We work together. He doesn\u2019t work for me, we all work together. Me, him, and (Anthony) Blevins, we sit down and come up with the scheme for the week and how we\u2019re going to attack the next opponent. We work together. It\u2019s not a, I\u2019m the boss \u2013 it\u2019s not one of those deals. That\u2019s how we operate.\nQ: Any concerns with Dallas with what they do on returns?\nA: You\u2019re always concerned about the opponent. Dallas is a formidable opponent, they\u2019ve done a great job over the years. They\u2019ve got a new coordinator, but they\u2019re a talented football team. They\u2019ve got some good pieces there \u2013 Deonte Thompson and Tavon Austin, those guys have made plays in this league. Any time you get an opportunity to line up against those style guys, you\u2019ve got to be ready because they\u2019ll pop you upside the head.\nQ: On the kickoff rules \u2013 does it make it any more or less enticing when you\u2019re maybe two or three yards into the end zone to return it or take a knee?\nA: Just depends on the situation. It\u2019s all situational. It just depends on wind, direction, time of the game \u2013 it\u2019s just situational. It just depends. You\u2019ve got to pick your spots.\nQ: Did you get any feedback from former players or friends when you told us you had cancer?\nA: Yes, I got a lot of text messages that day because that\u2019s not something you just broadcast to the world. The people that are around me, really close know, that deal with me on a day-to-day basis, but it\u2019s not something that I picked up the phone and called everybody I knew, so a lot of people were surprised. It is what it is. I appreciate them reaching out, that\u2019s for sure.\nQ: How did you come out feeling in that first game after all those days off?\nA: I\u2019m not going to lie, I was sore after the game. First time in, whatever how many days it was, 300 something, getting hit out there. I felt good to make it out, but I was feeling it. I was feeling it the Monday after. We\u2019re here healthy, get back in and do your rehab, and get ready for this week.\nQ: What did you think of your performance?\nA: There were a lot of things I went and looked at. Stuff that I felt like I could\u2019ve done better. There\u2019s little chances we had in the game that could\u2019ve been a difference. It\u2019s just about connecting on them, and just getting the small details down. Whether it\u2019s getting the depth of your route, which is something I\u2019ve always felt like I needed to work on. So, there\u2019s little things that I took from it. There were some good, there were some things that I know I that I want to work on.\nQ: What were you encouraged by?\nA: I was encouraged by the way that we fought against one of the better teams in the league. Unfortunately, we lost, but if you look at it, the game could\u2019ve went either which way. We just didn\u2019t make more plays than they made. I think we\u2019re optimistic about it. I know everybody wanted to get the first game out the way, and now you can build off of what we left out there.\nQ: This is the first time you played in Shurmur\u2019s offense. What did you think about some of the schemes and some of the ways he got you open?\nA: I like the way that I can get in the slot, I can get second man inside, I can stay on the outside. It makes it hard for defenses to plan against us because you\u2019re moving around so much. All the pieces are interchangeable, like I said. (TE) Evan (Engram) can get on the outside. (RB) Saquon (Barkley) can get on the outside. (WR Sterling Shepard) Shep can be on the outside. Cody \u2013 everybody can move, and it makes it a lot harder for teams to game plan.\nQ: Do you feel like teams have a game of film on you and some things will change in terms of how teams will cover you moving forward?\nA: I figure it might, or it\u2019s always going to be the same as was it was. We\u2019re doing that, there\u2019s going to be matchup problems across the board that they\u2019re going to have to deal with, and if they\u2019re cool with dealing with that, that\u2019s fine. I know that these other guys, Shep and Evan and everybody else is going to make plays, is going to make it tough. Once we get going, and really get going, I\u2019ll really see it. I don\u2019t want to say impossible, but very hard to stop this offense. Get the run game going, get the passes, the play action, like everything. Once it gets moving, it\u2019s going to be tough.\nQ: (QB) Eli Manning was saying the number of targets to you was a lot because they were playing one-high (single safety look). Is Dallas similar to that?\nA: Dallas does a little bit of that. They kind of go back and forth on some coverages. It\u2019s really just about situation \u2013 situational football. Whether it\u2019s third and short, or they\u2019re playing press and they\u2019re playing the sticks, what are they going to do? Eli and Coach Shurmur have a pretty good connection of setting that up and putting us in the right positions. It\u2019s going to be a fun game. I\u2019m looking forward to being back in Dallas. Back against your rival, or whatever you want to call it. We\u2019re all excited about the opportunity.\nQ: Can your body take 15 targets a week?\nA: I wouldn\u2019t mind. It is what it is. If that\u2019s what the plays are getting called, it\u2019s honestly at a point of whatever it\u2019s going to take to help this team. If I need to get 15, then I need to do the most with those 15. Like I said, I was pretty sore Monday, but that\u2019s what the whole week is for. You start recovering and you get your body right.\nQ: You have the most separation in the league of players targeted at least 10 times. What does that tell you about where you are and the weapon that you can be in this offense?\nA: I worked hard to get back to where I\u2019m at now, and I want to work even harder to get even further. With Coach Shurmur helping me and putting me in a position to really get open, and run away from people, and use the abilities that I have, he\u2019s putting me in good places to where I should be able to get open and get separation and be able to make big plays. The crazy thing about this offense is the guys on this offense, we\u2019re always one play away. It can be any second of the game. Like you saw him take it 68 yards (Barkley). That\u2019s what he does. A slant, we\u2019re going 60. Evan is liable to go at any time. I get on Shep all the time. It\u2019s time for you to start taking these slants to the house. It\u2019s a one play away offense. At any point in time, we want to be a very dangerous, dangerous offense.\nQ: Primetime divisional game in Dallas against your rival. Does this kind of get you even more?\nA: I don\u2019t know. Yeah, it is a big game. It\u2019s Sunday night, and all those things. It\u2019s the Cowboys. It\u2019s Jerry\u2019s World, all that, but it\u2019s like, you\u2019ve been there. You\u2019ve been there before. You\u2019ve played against them a few times. Not to say that it\u2019s going to be any different. I just think you got to watch your emotions and just know that I\u2019m going to be excited just to be back on the field, period. Whether it\u2019s Sunday night, 1:00 (p.m.), 10:00 a.m., in London, wherever we\u2019re at, I\u2019m excited about playing.\nQ: Somebody is going to be 0-2 at the end of this game. How important does that make this game?\nA: Very. (Wide Receivers Coach) Tyke (Tolbert) always says somebody is always going to come out on the end of a play with a win and a loss. Might as well not be you. We plan to come out and win. That\u2019s always the goal is to win. I hate losing, anything. Whether it\u2019s cards against Shep over there, (RB Jonathan Stewart) Stew, I don\u2019t like losing (laughter).\nQ: It\u2019s been over 20 months since you\u2019ve won a game. How hungry are you to win?\nA: I need that. There\u2019s no feeling like winning. Just the overall feeling of everybody in the locker room and knowing we did what we had to do. We\u2019ll live on this moment for a little bit. Cool, and then get back to work. Everybody here wants to win, and we know the importance of this game. We know you don\u2019t want to get 0-2, and start the season off that way, even though it is a long season. You just want to start fast and finish fast, and finish strong, too.\nQ: There was a stat where this was your 20*th* game of over 100 receiving yards. The Giants have only won seven of those. Does that surprise you? Does that frustrate you?\nA: Maybe I need to do more. It is what it is. You can put together a 100-yard game, even though I feel like a lot of stuff that happens is third downs, or plays to get us going, but if you\u2019re not putting points on the board, then it\u2019s hard to win games. We need to put more points on the board. If I need to step up and do more, then I\u2019ll step up and do more, and that\u2019s what I plan on doing.\nQ: Did you have any advice for Saquon after seeing him in his first game?\nA: Like I told him before, just be you. There\u2019s a reason why you\u2019re at where you\u2019re at. There\u2019s a reason you were picked here. There\u2019s a reason he\u2019s going to be one of the greats. I\u2019m just happy to be on this journey with him. For sure, I can\u2019t wait to see him. Tell him to keep breaking those 60-yarders (laughter). We need all of those plays.\nQ: Did you give him his touchdown football back?\nA: No, that\u2019s at my house. It\u2019s gone already. No, I gave it back to him. It\u2019s funny how just being in the locker room, it\u2019s like your brother and you\u2019re joking around with him. Next thing you know, it\u2019s across the entire world. It really was nothing more than me just messing around with my boys. I gave him his ball back, or I gave him a ball back (laughter).\nQ: With the two pass interference penalties last week, do you think you\u2019re going to have to deal with that sometimes?\nA: Like \u201cHack-A-Shaq?\u201d That\u2019s fine. It\u2019s a first down for us. It keeps the drive going. Of course I want to catch those passes, but you get to keep the drive going. Then, it\u2019s just about capitalizing on those mistakes that they make. At the end of the day, it\u2019s all about putting points on the board.\nQ: Can it be frustrating to not get into the end zone and have fun celebrating touchdowns?\nA: Well, I do want to get into the end zone so that way it gives energy and I can bring that energy forward, but if I can\u2019t, I\u2019m going to try to bring it any other way that I possibly can.\nQ: On both of those plays, do you thing you would\u2019ve scored if they hadn\u2019t grabbed you?\nA: If I made the catch, which is what I had planned on doing. We just didn\u2019t get it to happen. Hopefully this week, we can all get in there. Everybody can have a touchdown ball to go around.\nQ: Do you know what your first celebration is going to be already?\nA: We\u2019ll see when it happens. Yeah, I got something.\nQ: Did you notice defensive backs playing you more physical in the Jacksonville game?\nA: That\u2019s a physical team. I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s more physical. I\u2019ve watched them on tape all last year. They talked to whoever they wanted to talk to. They\u2019re all there at the ball. There\u2019s seven people around the ball at all times. They\u2019re standing over you. That\u2019s just how they play. It was a very physical game. Probably the result of why I was so sore after it. We\u2019ll be alright. It\u2019s just time to shape back, put points up, and get some wins and start putting them together.\nQ: Eli had mentioned some miscommunication on the route where he missed you in the end zone. Can you elaborate on that a little more?\nA: It\u2019s just first game stuff. Everybody getting on the same page, and just connecting. You got to hit those, and we didn\u2019t connect on that one. It\u2019s like, first game of the season. Ok, we can watch all of that film. Next time, we\u2019ll hit it. The time after that, the rest of the time, we start hitting it. First game, we\u2019ll just have to deal with it.\nQ: He was saying the safety pushed you out a little bit more than what you have liked.\nA: It\u2019s all good. We\u2019ll get it next time.\nQ: Did you have any conversations with Saquon before or after the game?\nA: Yeah, I told him I thought he was pretty decent at running back. Just keep working hard. He\u2019s great, he\u2019s going to be very good. I just told him to keep being himself, keep doing what you\u2019re doing, keep bringing that spark, that energy to the team, and keep making plays. Most importantly, have fun.\nWide Receiver Sterling Shepard\nQ: I know you were a little banged up yesterday. How do you feel?\nA: I\u2019m practicing all day today, so I\u2019ll be good.\nQ: Did you pick up the baby the wrong way or something?\nA: I must have (laughter). I slept wrong or something like that. It\u2019s nothing major though. We\u2019re all good.\nQ: What makes the Cowboys and Giants game so exciting? Seems like they always come down to the final moments all the time.\nA: Yeah, everybody is going to play fundamentally sound. You don\u2019t get that many opportunities as an offense against Dallas. They tend to keep the ball in their hands a while. This year, hopefully it\u2019ll be different. We\u2019ll get some turnovers, and get the ball back in the offense\u2019s hands.\nQ: Did you tease Eli and ask him if you will get to 15 targets this week?\nA: No man, I just take what I can get (laughter). Fifteen would be nice, though. That\u2019ll be nice, I ain\u2019t going to lie (laughter).\nQ: Is that something you have to get used to though? More weapons on offense this year may take away from some of your touches.\nA: That\u2019s the way it goes. You got a lot of playmakers who you got to get the ball in guy\u2019s hands. Like I said, I just take what I can get and make do with what I get.\nQ: Are there some things you saw in Week 1 with this offense that give you optimism of how good this offense is going to be this season?\nA: Yeah, like I said earlier this week, this group of guys has a lot of fight in them. You got guys that are going to fight down to the wire. That\u2019s what you want on your squad.\nQ: How has the mentality of the team been this week coming off that tough loss?\nA: You just got flush it down the toilet, and get right back to work. I think that\u2019s the main thing. Having guys that have a short memory. You take a loss, you learn from it. Come in, and you prepare for next week. One game is not going to define the season. Guys are looking forward to getting a \u201cW\u201d this week.\nQ: You\u2019ve been in touch with (Ezekiel Elliot) this week?\nA: Yeah I have. It was last week, actually. He texted me saying congratulations on the touchdown run and the start of the season.\nQ: No communication during the week, though?\nA: No, not really, not really. Obviously it\u2019s a grind week. He\u2019s over there preparing to win this game, I\u2019m preparing to win the game for my team, but tremendous, wish him the best of luck to a great dude. We got to have a conversation before, got to meet him a couple of times. I\u2019m a big fan of his game, also, so I\u2019m excited to see him play a lot of the game.\nQ: How different is it for you going into week two just \u2013 you have an idea of what your first NFL game would be like, but now you actually have a better feel for it.\nA: The difference would be establishing a routine. Kind of got a good routine now that I did last week that I liked and want to continue to work on that routine, continue to learn from it, and continue trying to get in the best situation I can to get my team win this year.\nQ: Odell (Beckham Jr.) was talking about how he sees in this offense potential, once it really gets rolling, to kind of be unstoppable. Do you see that as well?\nA: I do truly believe that. When you look at it on paper and you look at just the people we have on this offense and who we\u2019re surrounded by, it\u2019s a great offense, it\u2019s a great team. We have potential to be great, but we got to continue to work every single day to get to that point.\nQ: Every team has rivals. What have you heard from your teammates about the Giants-Cowboys rivalry because this is probably one of the hottest ones this organization could have?\nA: Yeah I actually haven\u2019t really heard much about it. I guess I\u2019m kind of just going to figure it out when I get out there. It\u2019s still just into the NFL. At Penn State, we really didn\u2019t have a rivalry game. Pitt tried to be a rivalry, but I think we established that this week that we\u2019re not giving them a chance of being a rivalry team. I\u2019m just getting adjusted to it, so I guess it\u2019ll hit me all in the face on Sunday how big of rivalry game it is.\nQ: Ohio State wasn\u2019t a big one for you guys?\nA: We haven\u2019t played each other that long. Obviously the last couple of years have been really good games, so I guess you could kind of say it, but we never really have an established rivalry at Penn State, which kind of sucks because you wish you kind of did. I guess the games are a lot funner, but I guess I\u2019ll find out this week how fun it really is.\nQ: You had a pretty big first game against Ohio State.\nA: Yeah, I guess you could say that was my coming out game on a live national stage, but at the end of the day we didn\u2019t win, so that really didn\u2019t matter.\nQ: You\u2019re more familiar with the Jets-Patriots, the Dolphins. Did you kind of enjoy watching those games more?\nA: Yeah definitely. I definitely enjoyed watching those games more. I really was like a big Jets fan, just like the Patriots a lot. I remember when the Patriots were playing \u2013 anytime the Patriots were in the Super Bowl, I was kind of rooting against them just being a Jets fan, so got to see it on TV, got to see it live, but never got to experience a rivalry game really. Like I said, I guess it\u2019ll all hit me in the face this week and I\u2019m really excited for it, but just another chance to me in my mind for us to establish ourselves as a team and an offense and put a win in the win column.\nQ: So when you were growing up watching Jets-Patriots, I mean (Bill) Belichick and (Tom) Brady are there in their prime. I\u2019m trying to think what year you might\u2019ve been aware of them.\nA: Belichick and Brady have been in their prime for a really long time.\nQ: I know, so you were like six when they were winning Super Bowls.\nA: Yeah, even when I was in middle school, high school, and even in college, to be completely honest. The ones that stick out to me is the Mark Sanchez era with Thomas Jones and those guys where the two years they were going back and forth in the AFC Championship games. Those were the type of games that really standout to me that I actually remember.\nQ: I know you\u2019re critical of yourself. What did you watch on the tape from Sunday that you can do better in your second game?\nA: I went back and watched every play, every rep I had, and just tried to figure out where I could be better, try to break up more tackles. With this week, Sean Lee is a great linebacker and they\u2019ve got a great linebacker corps over there. Continue to work on setting up blocks for the offensive line and obviously know when and where to take chances and continue to just enjoy the game, love the game, and continue to grow as a player every day.\nQ: Was there any doubt going into your first game that you could break a run like that, the same way you did in college?\nA: No. No doubt at all.\nQ: You were preparing to do that in that game?\nA: You believe that any time you touch the ball you can score, but you really can\u2019t prepare to score like that. The only way you can prepare is when you get to the next level, work on a move that\u2019s going to open you up or when you get one-on-one with a guy, most of the time those plays happen so fast, a lot of it is just reaction. Just watching film and believing in yourself, and seeing how the defense, and seeing how we\u2019re going to attack them. Just continue to gain belief, that\u2019s how those big plays happen.\nQ: What are you expecting from the Dallas atmosphere? What have you been told?\nA: I\u2019ve been told not really much about it. I\u2019ve been told it\u2019s going to be loud, it\u2019s going to be a fun place to play. I\u2019m still trying to learn and figure out this little rivalry division thing going on in the NFL. But I\u2019m excited to go back to the place where I was drafted, that was the first time I\u2019ve ever been to Dallas and last time I was there my name was getting called and I was walking up in front of the stage and seeing a Giants jersey. To be able to go back there and be able to start off and try to get a win in the NFC East, that would definitely be huge.\nQ: Did you play against (Ezekiel Elliott) as a freshman?\n*Q: Did you get to know him?\n*A: Yes, I got to meet Zeke after the game. He gave me high praise after the game. We both had pretty good games that game, and his team came out with the win, but I got to talk to Zeke in the offseason throughout my college career, keeping a little communication with him. I talked to him last week after the game. He congratulated me on my first touchdown, and I just asked him how he\u2019s feeling, good luck to the rest of the season for him. too. I got to know Zeke a little bit.\nQ: What did you take away from your first game from maybe the more mundane plays than your big run?\nA: The thing I took away from the first game is, it\u2019s just like college, to be completely honest. When I say that I don\u2019t mean the speed, I don\u2019t mean the physicality, I mean just that you\u2019ve got to continue to stick with it, especially at the position of running back. Continue to grind out those tough runs and just continue to tell the O-Line that one\u2019s going to split, and when they give you the opportunity, take advantage of it.\nQ: Do you always have the belief that with enough carries, you\u2019re going to spring one?\nA: Yes, yes I do. I do believe that. There will be times in games where I fall short, there will be times in games where I see that expectation a lot, so I\u2019ve just got to continue that belief not only in myself, but with the offensive line and the team itself, the general offense that at any given moment we can score and put points on the board so we\u2019ve got to continue to have that mindset and continue to work every single day with it.\nQ: What do you think the offense can be moving forward?\nA: The sky is the limit. I knew that before we even got on the field. If you go back and you look at the game, there\u2019s just little things, little mistakes we made as a team that kind of kept putting us playing behind the line of scrimmage. Getting behind the sticks, that\u2019s what I meant. Little stuff like that, if we continue to work on that and get better in those areas and execute the opportunities that we had, definitely the game could be a very different outcome. But you\u2019ve got to give credit to Jacksonville and that\u2019s something we\u2019ve got to learn from. Take the good and learn from the bad, and continue to get better this week.\nQ: Did Odell give you your ball back?\nA: Yes, I got my ball back. There was no way I was not getting that ball back.\nQ: Where\u2019s it going?\nA: The ball\u2019s right now probably going to go to my mom\u2019s house until after the season or until I buy myself an actual house, then put it in a case and have it with me.",

        "title": "Preparation of an Emissions Trading System (ETS) in Mexico",
        "raw_content": "Preparation of an Emissions Trading System (ETS) in Mexico\nTitle: Preparation of an Emissions Trading System (ETS) in Mexico\nCountry: Mexiko\nPartner: The Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT)\nTotal duration: 2017 to 2020\nIn the context of the Paris Agreement, countries have defined national targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions to keep global warming well below 2\u00b0 degrees. Against this background, Mexico has set a national target to reduce 22% of greenhouse gases until 2030 compared to a reference case without climate action.\nThe country is currently defining well-suited policies and measures for achieving these targets. The energy and transport sectors are clearly key for reducing emissions, as they are responsible for around three quarters of the country\u2019s emissions. Finding cost-efficient instruments will be crucial in reducing emissions while fostering economic growth in parallel. Hence the German and Mexican governments have agreed to collaborate on establishing an Emissions Trading System in Mexico.\nThe project partners have developed necessary institutional preconditions and technical capacities of both public and private actors for establishing and implementing an Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) in Mexico.\nThe project is focusing on the following lines of work:\nScientific analyses and policy recommendations to inform and support the Mexican decision-making on the design of the Emissions Trading System, such as what sectors will be covered by the system or what the overall allowed emissions limit will be.\nCapacity building and stakeholder engagement for other line ministries, companies and financial institutions, so that they can assume their roles and responsibilities in the market.\nInternational dialogue and exchange with jurisdictions that already have similar systems in place to facilitate learning.\nThese lines of work are facilitated through expert delegations, study trips, technical analysis and studies, as well as trainings, workshops and knowledge exchange. Germany has over ten years of experience with Emissions Trading, which is why the objective of the collaboration is to benefit from German and European good practices and lessons learnt.\nAn Emission Trading Scheme is a market-based instrument that is based upon the principle of \u201ccap and trade\u201d. A limit of overall emissions in one or more economic sectors is defined and reduced each year. Within this limit, companies can decide to buy and sell emissions rights, as these are needed in order to comply with the limit. Through this mechanism, companies have the flexibility to minimise their emissions in the most cost-efficient way. The instrument therefore contributes to changing the behaviour of producers, consumers and investors so as to reduce emissions, while the inherent market mechanism provides flexibility on who takes which actions and when. At the same time, the cap assures that a country like Mexico achieves its climate targets.\nThe GIZ has assisted Mexico in setting up a National Emissions Registry, a database that collects information on greenhouse gas emissions from all major emissions sectors like energy, industry, transport, and others. Mexican companies have been obligated since 2016 to provide annual reports on emissions. This data can now be used to make informed decisions on what the Emissions Trading System will look like, including the sectorial coverage or the overall emissions cap.\nGerman experts and government representatives have shared with Mexican actors their hands-on experience on the key steps for setting up an Emissions Trading System. This exchange of ideas and experiences has contributed to defining a Mexican roadmap for preparing a national system. The project is also advising the government on creating the legal framework, which will culminate in an Emissions Trading Regulation being published in 2018 and a mandatory pilot phase to start in 2019.\nThe Mexican process of stakeholder engagement has been informed by recommendations on how to best involve private and public stakeholders into the decision-making process. This resulted not only in the establishment of a public-private Working Group on Emissions Trading, but also in building trust between the public and private sectors in the negotiations around this new system.\nmiriam.faulwetter@giz.de\nPreparaci\u00f3n de un Sistema de Comercio de Emisiones en M\u00e9xico\nDesigning an Emissions Trading System in Mexico: Options for Setting an Emissions Cap Emissions Trading in Mexico: Analysis of Carbon Leakage Risks Clean Energy Certificates and Emissions Trading in Mexico: Reciprocal Effects and Interactions Achieving the Mexican Mitigation Targets: Options for an Effective Carbon Pricing Policy Mix Factsheet - Preparation of an Emissions Trading System (ETS) in Mexico\nInternational Climate Change Initiative (IKI) in Mexico",

        "raw_content": "Suppressing the Truth on Syria: Mother Agnes Mariam and Britain\u2019s Self Proclaimed \u201cAntiwar Movement\u201d\nReader Supported News and Global Research\nHere\u2019s what it looks like when a respected reporter tweets about his blackmail note to an established anti-war organization regarding the organization\u2019s upcoming conference in a tweet on November 15:\nI\u2019ve informed organizers of @STWuk that I will not participate in their conference if Mother Agnes is on the platform.\n\u2014 jeremy scahill (@jeremyscahill) 15 Novembre 2013\nThe reporter is Jeremy Scahill, who was booked as the keynote speaker and to show his film \u201cDirty Wars\u201d (based on his book \u201cDirty Wars\u201d) at the November 30 International Anti-War Conference in London, put on by Stop the War Coalition (STWuk), which was first organized in 2001 in opposition to an American attack on Iraq. More than 12 years later, the coalition notes dryly on its webpage for the conference, \u201cWe need more effective anti war resistance internationally. This conference is a chance to analyse, build links and lay plans.\u201d\nScahill\u2019s threat to boycott the conference soon became moot the following day, when the dreaded Mother Agnes withdrew from participation. Her letter read, in part:\n\u201cIt has come to my attention that my participation in your conference has become a matter of serious contention, even prompting some other speakers to consider withdrawing. This is apparently due to a campaign of cruel and unsubstantiated accusations which seek to work against my efforts and those of the Musalaha (Reconciliation) Initiative in Syria.\n\u201cThe basis of our work toward peace is reconciliation and forgiveness. This means extending an olive branch to some who may initially refuse it, and accepting an olive branch from others who are despised, even by our friends\u2026.\n\u201cSome may feel that an injustice will be done if I speak at your conference. Others may think that injustice will be done if I do not. Because my participation in your conference may be used by some to distract from your valuable efforts towards peace, non-violence and reconciliation, I believe it best to withdraw from participation.\u201d\nWhy did Stop the War invitation to nun working to stop war raise objections?\nPush comes to shove, and Mother Agnes is an apparent pushover. She\u2019s also not flogging a movie. And the abuse she\u2019s suffered online was as real as the pressure on Scahilll and others to have nothing to do with her. It\u2019s hard to find any evidence that Mother Agnes has committed anything worse than what others consider thought-crimes and politically incorrect observations, some of which are actually correct.\nMother Agnes Mariam of the Cross is a Carmelite nun and mother superior of the Monastery of James the Mutilated in Qara, Syria, which has a community of three monks and twelve nuns. Born in Lebanon in a refugee camp 61 years ago, she is Palestinian on her father\u2019s side and has worked in Syria for about 20 years. She is the spokesperson for the Catholic Information Center in Beirut, where the Musalaha Initiative also has its office. Mother Agnes became a nun at 19, after several years in the late 1960s as a self-styled \u201chippie,\u201d traveling to Europe, India and Tibet. Unlike others with an equally public profile, Mother Agnes has no Wikipedia page.\nIn June 2012, Nobel Peace Prize winner Mairead Maguire praised Mother Agnes as a peacemaker:\n\u201cIn her community her voice has been clear, pure and loud. And it should be so in the West. Like many people in Syria she has been placed in life threatening situations, but for the sake of peace she has chosen to risk her own existence for the safety and security of others. She has spoken out against the lack of truth in our media regarding Syria and about the terror and chaos which a \u2018third force\u2019 seems to be spreading across the country. Her words confront and challenge us because they do not mirror the picture of events in Syria we have built up in our minds over many months of reading our newspapers and watching the news on our televisions. Much of the terror has been imported, we learn from her. She can tell us about the thousands of Christian refugees, forced to flee their homes by an imported Islamist extreme.\u201d\nWhat makes her controversial to people around Stop the War Coalition is their perception of her as a supporter of the Syrian government of Bashar al-Assad. Clear reasoning behind this perception is hard to come by. The reality for Christians in Syria is that their choice of friends is limited: the government represses them along with everyone else, but some rebel groups have taken to massacring Christians. With rebel groups numbering 1,000 or more, none is likely to be a reliable protector.\nMother Agnes\u2019s heretical view of the Damascus chemical attack\nIn August 2013, when the world learned of the still murky chemical weapons attack in a Damascus suburb, Mother Agnes questioned the prevailing western view that the Assad government carried out the attack. She prepared a 50-page report questioning the authenticity of videos of the aftermath and submitted her findings to the United Nations Human Rights Council. As the New York Times of September 21 reported:\n\u201cWhen Russia\u2019s foreign minister, Sergey V. Lavrov, wanted to bolster his argument that rebels had carried out the poison gas attacks near Damascus on Aug. 21, he pointed to the work of a 61-year-old Lebanese-born nun who had concluded that the horrifying videos showing hundreds of dead and choking victims, including many children, had been fabricated ahead of time to provide a pretext for foreign intervention.\n\u201c\u2019Mr. Lavrov is an intelligent person,\u2019 said the nun, Mother Agnes Mariam of the Cross, with a wide smile in a recent interview in this Lebanese mountain town. \u2018He will never stick his name to someone who is saying stupidities.\u2019\u201d\nTaking a position on the chemical attacks that is supportive of the Assad government has led to intensified criticism of Mother Agnes as an Assad pawn. French reporters have written a book accusing her of conspiring with the government to kill another French reporter in 2012. She has sued the authors for libel.\nThe Syrian uprising started with peaceful protests in March 2011, but soon turned violent. Mother Agnes accuses the West of fomenting the violence to create a pretext for military intervention and re-ordering Syria. In November 2011, she wrote an open letter to President Assad, challenging the government over its treatment of hospital patients and prisoners, as reported in Vatican Insider in November 2011:\n\u201cDear Mr. President, I have lived and worked in Syria since 1994, and I have learned to esteem the unique position Syria holds in the world of culture and of religions. But I am shocked to learn from Amnesty International that in the hospitals run by the government the wounded suffer discrimination and maltreatment because of their ideology. And I am saddened to find that, in the prisons, there are people there who have never been tried in court, or even accused of anything\u2026. I ask for a serious inquiry into the hospitals and prisons, under the supervision of the International Red Cross, together with the creation of a committee to accelerate the exercise of justice.\u201d\nIn late October, Mother Agnes, through the Musalaha Initiative, was involved in establishing a cease-fire and evacuating some 5,400 civilians from Moadamiya, a rebel-held city near Damascus.\nMother Agnes is currently on a six-week speaking tour in North America, largely ignored by most media. In Cleveland on November 14, she received a special peace award from the mayor, a congressman, and a senator. The tour ends December 4.\nJeremy Scahill has yet to explain his own behavior, but columnist Neil Clark, writing for Russia Today, blames \u201cliberal hawks and neo-cons\u201d for silencing the nun because:\n\u201cMother Agnes\u2019 testimony reveals that the so-called \u2018War on Terror\u2019 is a sham \u2013 that in Syria, the western countries and their regional allies, Saudi Arabia and Israel, are on the same side as the extremist Islamic terror groups that we are told are our greatest enemies.\u201d\nThe original source of this article is Reader Supported News and Global Research\nCopyright \u00a9 William Boardman, Reader Supported News and Global Research, 2013\nArticles by: William Boardman",

        "raw_content": "Have Your Vents, Air Ducts and Chimney Cleaned by the Best\nAre you looking for the best possible air duct, chimney or dryer vent cleaning service in the Phoenix, Arizona area? Then it\u2019s time to check out Golden\u2019s Good Air. Founded in 2004 and located in Glendale, about nine miles northwest from Downtown Phoenix, the company is named after its founder, Charles Golden. With several years of experience under his belt, Charles Golden is fully committed to providing the best service by genuinely caring for his customers, paying attention to their greatest concerns, and maintaining long-term relationships with them.\nCleaning air ducts, dryer vents, and chimneys are not exactly the most visible jobs in existence. However, this does not minimize their importance in home maintenance. Dirty or clogged dryer vents and chimneys are ranked as top causes of house fires in the United States. Filthy air ducts in particular can increase the strain on HVAC systems, thus increasing energy costs; and they can worsen existing medical conditions such as allergies and asthma.\nThus Charles and his crew are on call to ensure the safety of buildings and those who inhabit them. And they do so by being very open and detailed with their customers. For instance, if Golden\u2019s Good Air is cleaning dryer vents and they spot a clogged and damaged hose in the backyard, they would take it apart and explain that it is also capable of causing a fire, thus justifying its replacement. It is also unique in the area for its air vent cleaning system, which consists of a connecting rod system that consists of a gentle rotating brush connected to a variable speed drill. This guarantees complete and total cleaning, with no leftover filth or damage to the furniture or carpets. Also worthy of note is the staff\u2019s visual inspection of each chimney system when possible for any essential repair or alteration.\nThe Benefits of a Clean Chimney\nThe Benefits of Keeping a Clean Chimney\nA fireplace offers homeowners great benefits. There\u2019s the economic benefit, as it can be a more cost-effective way to keep the house warm than the HVAC system. There\u2019s also the psychological benefit, as the toasty feel warms the spirit as much as the body. So, it\u2019s very important to keep the fireplace working optimally, and part of ensuring its longevity is making sure that the chimney\u2014the structure from which the fireplace releases its smoke and gases into the atmosphere\u2014is clean. Here are the main benefits of keeping a clean chimney:\nClean Your Household Air of Allergens and Bacteria\nPhoenix air quality is very dry and carries a lot of dust and allergens. We are now very close to the time of year where all the plants, trees, bushes, and flowers begin to bloom. Allergenic plants produce large amounts of wind-borne pollen. In Arizona they include many species that are native to the region and many introduced species. Native allergenic plants include triangle leaf bursage, desert ragweed, desert broom, Cacti, Wing Scale, Mesquite and PaloVerde. A large number of introduced trees and shrubs such as Olive, White Mulberry, weeds such as Russian Thistle and Australian Saltbush, and introduced grasses including Bermuda grass produce allergenic pollen.\nMany people with allergies stay indoors when outdoor air is full of pollen and spores. If you want to control allergens and the bacteria that might be in your homes air, allergy and asthma control starts at home. Every breath we take contains millions of particles of dust, allergens, chemicals, pollutants, and other molecules. Eight out of ten people in the USA are exposed to house dust mites and six out of ten are exposed to animal dander from cats and dogs. Even cockroaches cause allergic reactions among people who live in big cities or in the south and southwest states.\nIn order to cut down on indoor air allergens and pollutants, a good place to start is with your air ducts. Here at Golden's Good Air, we offer the best air duct cleaning and repair services in all of Phoenix. Your home's air ducts are breeding grounds for allergens, bacteria, fungi, and a host of other pollutantas that contribute to allergies, bronchitis, and asthma. They breed in the ducts and live there while they multiply, and when your running your heating or cooling system, the spores from this filth blows right into the main living areas of your house. Everyone from mom and dad, to the children and pets, get a nice whiff of these allergens and once your body has breathed in enough, that's when symptoms such as dry throat, sore throats, wheezing, coughing, fatgiue and bronchities set in. You need to put an end to this now.",

        "raw_content": "When lots of resources are needed to run a Website, Email Service or a Database, it is common to use a Dedicated Server. The Server has a single task in life, and can devote all of it's resources to that one task.\nFor most simple websites, a platform shared amongst other websites is quite capable of taking the load. This obviously comes with the benefit on cost, as the cost of the server is also shared. This is what we use in our Semi-Dedicated Hosting.\nIf however a website is very busy, or it uses lots of Bandwidth, then a Dedicated server is the best solution. Some extremely busy websites (think bbc.co.uk and google.com) are so busy they require multiple Dedicated Servers to handle all of the requests.\nThe added bonus here is that if there are any specific requirements, such as PCI-DSS compliance, this can be achieved easily, without affecting other websites.\nThe same applies for email services. A single server is capable of handling hundreds of thousands of email each day. If a single domain gets lots of email, then it may be worth considering a Dedicated Server. This means that there is plenty of processing power to do any scanning, and plenty of hard drive space to store email for lots of email accounts.\nThere is the added bonus of controlling the spam-rating for a single IP Address, as there are no other domains sending email from the IP, which coould get the entire server blocked.\nA Dedicated Email Server is a must if you want to send bulk email. Because of issues with Black Lists, we require customers doing mail-outs to use a Dedicated Server. Even if the server is blocked, normal email on the regular servers will continue.\nWhat Dedicated Servers are not\nSome companies will rent Virtual Dedicated Servers, and let you think that an entire server is yours. Virtual Servers are merely a piece of software which acts like a server. There are often lots of these running on a real Dedicated Server. This means you only get a fraction of the Server's true resources.",

        "raw_content": "All schools to get freedom to pay good teachers more\nThe School Teachers' Review Body (STRB) has called on the government to link teachers\u2019 pay more closely to their performance.\nDepartment for Education, School Teachers' Review Body, and The Rt Hon Michael Gove MP\nAn independent review body has called on the Government to link teachers\u2019 pay more closely to their performance.\nThe School Teachers\u2019 Review Body (STRB), which makes recommendations to Government on teachers\u2019 pay reforms, is calling for greater freedom for schools to set teachers\u2019 pay.\nIn its report published today (Wednesday) it recommends a simpler, more flexible national pay framework for teachers. Taking on board international evidence and views from Government, employers, and teacher and head teacher unions, it proposes:\nending pay increases based on length of service - currently virtually all full time classroom teachers on the main pay scale automatically progress to the next pay point;\nlinking all teachers\u2019 pay progression to performance, based on annual appraisals - already the case for some teachers who are on a higher pay scale;\nabolishing mandatory pay points within the pay scales for classroom teachers to give schools greater freedom on how much teachers are paid. They would remain in place for reference only in the main pay scale to guide career expectations for new teachers entering the profession; and\nretaining the higher pay bands for London and fringe areas.\nDame Patricia Hodgson, Chair of the STRB, said:\nWe believe our recommendations will help schools to recruit, retain and reward the best teachers. It will give heads freedom to manage teachers\u2019 pay according to pupil needs and local circumstances, within a fair national framework.\nSubject to a statutory consultation, the Coalition Government intends to accept the key recommendations.\nThe Chancellor, as confirmed in last year\u2019s Autumn Statement, set out an uplift for public sector pay of up to one per cent. The statutory minima and maxima for classroom teachers\u2019 pay will be uprated by one per cent in each year, 2013-14 and 2014-15. Schools are free to determine the extent of pay uplifts to teachers within the statutory minima and maxima, and will be able to provide an uplift of one per cent, in line with any overall uplift in pay in the public sector, if they so choose.\nThese recommendations will make teaching a more attractive career and a more rewarding job. They will give schools greater flexibility to respond to specific conditions and reward their best teachers.\nIt is vital that teachers can be paid more without having to leave the classroom. This will be particularly important to schools in the most disadvantaged areas as it will empower them to attract and recruit the best teachers.\nI am grateful for the careful consideration which the STRB has given to these matters. Subject to the consultation, I intend to accept all of the key recommendations.\nIn February this year, the Secretary of State commissioned the STRB to consider how reforms could be made to help address the quality of teaching, along with raising the status of the profession and supporting the recruitment and retention of teachers in different areas of the country. The STRB gathered evidence from a wide range of stakeholders, including the Government, governors\u2019 associations, and teacher and head teacher unions in reaching its final recommendations.\nEvidence shows that improving the quality of teaching is essential to driving up standards in schools. Pupils taught by good teachers score nearly half a GCSE point more per subject than pupils taught by poor teachers. The impact is even more significant for pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds, according to the Sutton Trust. For poor pupils, the difference between a very good teacher and a bad teacher may be a whole year\u2019s education.\nUnder the current system for teachers\u2019 pay:\nautomatic pay progression means there is a poor link between a teacher\u2019s performance and reward; and\nschools in some parts of the country struggle to recruit and retain good teachers.\nSubject to the statutory consultation, the changes would come into effect from September 2013.\nThis relates to England and Wales.\nThe School Teachers\u2019 Review Body report and the Government\u2019s response are available on the teachers\u2019 pay section of the Department for Education\u2019s website. The key recommendations, which the Government has accepted, are:\nReplacement of increments based on length of service by differentiated progression through the main pay scale to reward excellence and performance improvement.\nExtension to all teachers of pay progression linked to annual appraisal (which is already established for more senior teachers). Appraisal should be against a single set of teaching standards, and individual objectives, with a strong emphasis on professional development.\nAbolition of mandatory pay points within the pay scales for classroom teachers, to enable individual pay decisions, but with retention at present of points for reference only in the main pay scale, to guide career expectations for entrants to the profession.\nRetention of a broad national framework, including the higher pay bands for London and fringe areas and an upper pay scale as a career path for experienced teachers who make a wider contribution to the school.\nReplacement of the unnecessarily detailed threshold test for progression from the main to the upper pay scale, with simple criteria based on one set of teacher standards. This will create a consistent progression path from graduate entry to the top of the upper pay scale and allow schools to promote the best teachers more rapidly.\nLocal flexibility for schools to create posts paying salaries above the upper pay scale, enabling some of the very best teachers to remain in the classroom and lead the improvement of teaching skills.\nOn the basis of the above, a much simplified School Teachers\u2019 Pay and Conditions Document, including a brief guide to the national framework and the flexibilities open to schools. The STRB has also made a number of further recommendations linked to the implementation of the main recommendations. The Government proposes to accept these in principle, but notes that there are some areas where it may wish to ask the STRB for further consideration in the future, as well as considering whether they represent the most effective way to implement the key recommendations.\nOn 21 February 2012, the Secretary of State for Education asked the STRB to review current provisions for teachers\u2019 pay with a view to raising the status of the profession and contributing to improving the standard of teaching in our schools. In particular the Secretary of State asked the STRB to:\nmake recommendations for reducing rigidity within the pay system so that it best supports the recruitment and retention of high quality teachers in all schools\nconsider how teachers\u2019 pay could be better linked to performance and whether there are existing barriers to this within the current system\nput forward recommendations on how to make teachers\u2019 pay more market-facing, following the Chancellor of the Exchequer\u2019s letter to pay review bodies of 7 December.\nRead a copy of the remit letter.\nUniversity of Bristol research on the impact of the quality of teachers on attainment, \u201cDo teachers matter? Measuring the variation in teacher effectiveness in England\u201d, can be found on the University of Bristol\u2019s website.\nSutton Trust research on teaching and its impact on pupil performance, \u201cImproving the impact of teachers on pupil achievement in the UK - interim findings, September 2011\u201d can be found on the Sutton Trust\u2019s website.\nThe Government\u2019s Initial Teaching Training strategy - Training our next generation of outstanding teachers - published last year can be found on the Department for Education\u2019s website. It sets out a series of reforms to recruit the very best into teaching and a greater role for schools in training. This includes:\nencouraging more primary specialist teachers to be trained;\noffering graduates with first-class degrees in physics, chemistry, maths and modern foreign languages significantly better financial incentives to train as teachers;\nrequiring all trainees to have high standards of mathematics and English by requiring trainees to pass a tougher literacy and numeracy tests before they start training;\nallowing and encouraging schools to lead their own high-quality initial teacher training; and\ngiving schools a stronger influence over the content of ITT training as well as the recruitment and selection of trainees.\nThe School Teachers\u2019 Review Body (STRB) considers aspects of teachers\u2019 pay and conditions for just under half a million teachers and school leaders in England and Wales. Its work has a direct impact on teachers and head teachers and through them on the education of children. The STRB was established under the terms of the School Teachers\u2019 Pay and Conditions Act 1991 (as replaced by the Education Act 2002). It is a statutory independent advisory body. Its function is to consider matters referred to it by the Secretary of State for Education in relation to the remuneration, professional duties or working time of school teachers and to report to the Prime Minister and the Secretary of State.\nNew pay policies reward best teachers\nGovernment to fund pay rise for teachers\nReforming teachers\u2019 pay: government sets out case\nNew advice to help schools set performance-related pay\nTeachers\u2019 pay: changes since September 2013\nTeacher pay, pensions and conditions",

        "raw_content": "Sexual Harassment Continues to Infect Forest Service, Park Service\nAgencies Are Shutting Down More Activities, Furloughing More Workers as Funds Run Dry\nTwo Park Service Officials Exposed for Harassment, Mishandled Funds\nForest Service Chief Abruptly Resigns Over Misconduct Allegations\nAllegations of Rampant Sexual Harassment and Rape Roil Federally Run College\nOutgoing House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., said he would like the new Forest Service chief to \u201csend a clear unmistakable message\u201d that sexual harassment won\u2019t be tolerated. Manuel Balce Ceneta / AP\nMore graphic details on sexual misconduct that led to the March resignation of the Forest Service chief were presented to a House oversight panel on Thursday, the same day that President Trump\u2019s nominee to head the National Park Service acknowledged that such workplace harassment remains a problem at his own agency.\nShannon Reed, an air quality scientific specialist who worked at both agencies before being terminated by the Forest Service this spring, told lawmakers on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee of a \u201cdark history\u201d of \u201cgender discrimination, sexual harassment, assault and rape\u201d over the past eight years.\nWhile training in fire-fighting, she was called a \u201cslut, whore and cunt\u201d and was told she would have to \u201csuck cock\u201d to keep her job, she said. Male supervisors threatened to \u201cbend me over and spank me,\u201d she testified. She was tripped, pushed and kicked.\nWhen Reed left the National Park Service operations at the Grand Canyon in 2015 to transfer to the Forest Service, \u201clittle did I know I was going from the frying pan to the fire,\u201d she said. Men told her she was \u201cunwelcome as a female\u201d and \u201cseen as a sex object\u201d who had \u201cno right to the job.\u201d\nThis continued at locations in Albuquerque, N.M., and Alabama, Reed said in emotional testimony that lasted nearly 20 minutes straight. Her supervisor Jack Triepke continually yelled at her during the day but called to invite her to bars at night, she said. Then-Forest Service Chief Tony Tooke \u201cgrabbed my butt,\u201d she said.\nReed said that management \u201cdid nothing to hold the persons accountable\u201d after she reported the problems to supervisors and filed an Equal Employment Opportunity complaint.\nThe Forest Service, she continued, responded with counseling sessions in which the perpetrators were in the same room as the complainants. She was given a seven-day suspension and restricted in her permitted movements in the office. In March 2018, she was fired. \u201cI believe the Forest Service retaliated against me for my sworn testimony against Tony Tooke,\u201d Reed said.\nThe testimony came a month after new Forest Service chief Vicki Christiansen was sworn in, and months after various news media\u2014the PBS NewsHour chiefly\u2014documented sexual misconduct cases at the Forest Service involving at least 34 women. It served as a follow-up to a similar hearing in December 2016 as the inspector general for the Agriculture Department (the Forest Service\u2019s parent agency) described what she was also investigating. Since fiscal 2009, IG Phyllis Fong told lawmakers on Thursday, her office has initiated 13 investigations of allegations of sexual assault involving Forest Service employees.\nRep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C. the outgoing chairman of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said he called the hearing because he wanted the new Forest Service chief to \u201csend a clear unmistakable message\u201d that sexual harassment won\u2019t be tolerated. \u201cA time of transition is precisely the right time,\u201d he said.\nRanking member Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., said, \u201cThe Forest Service has made improvements in the processes it uses to receive and investigate allegations of harassment and bullying. But it is clear that, two years later, many employees still believe the agency tolerates harassment, bullying and retaliation.\u201d\nEven worse, he added, the agency \u201chas not fully cooperated\u201d with the committee\u2019s oversight efforts, sending overly redacted documents in response to requests, he said.\nChristiansen testified that the Forest Service since 2016 \u201chas continued to take action and work diligently to create a workplace where all employees are valued, safe and respected.\u201d What she described as \u201can unwavering commitment to address unacceptable conduct\u201d includes new policies, accountability, reporting systems, and training around the workplace environment. Besides the \u201ccomprehensive anti-harassment policy\u201d adopted before the 2016 hearing, the Forest Service has issued a contract for outside investigators to handle allegations, she said.\n\u201cIn the past year, we have established a call center staffed by outside personnel who are trained to handle calls of a sensitive nature and route them appropriately,\u201d she added. \u201cWe have also hired case managers who are dedicated to processing cases of harassment, retaliation and bullying\u201d required for all 25,000 permanent employees.\nThere have been \u201clistening sessions,\u201d a new code of commitment and a new Work Environment and Performance Office that focuses on the issues.\nUnder skeptical questioning, Christiansen acknowledged that \u201cwe still need improvement,\u201d but noted that 634 employees have been fired in the past three years and that the cases of all 34 of the women who stepped forward \u201care well into the process if not completely closed.\u201d She was unable to comment on Reed or other specific cases, she said.\n\u201cChanging a culture is a multi-pronged effort,\u201d Christiansen said, adding that any large organization has a population of mostly good people but some \u201cwho don\u2019t do the right thing.\u201d She said she \u201cwould like to say [we could do] it in six months, but with an agency that\u2019s 112 years old with a mission of getting a critical job done in remote locations\u2014[it won\u2019t be done] overnight.\u201d\nReed, who identified herself as one of the 34 women, said her case of being fired after retaliation has not been closed. She said the new Forest Service remedies \u201chave no real application in reducing sexual harassment.\u201d The process is a \u201cfailure and a waste of money\u201d that \u201chas not made a safe environment for reporting sexual harassment,\u201d she added. She still knows women who are being forced to have sex with their supervisors, Reed said.\nOn the Senate side, Raymond David Vela, a 28-year career Park Service employee whom Trump nominated to head the agency in August, told the Energy and Natural Resources panel that his agency \u201chad made great strides\u201d but in some ways had still \u201cfallen short\u201d in creating \u201ca workplace that treats them with the dignity and respect they deserve.\u201d\nVela called harassment \u201ca scourge\u201d for the service and society. \u201cWe will continue to hold people accountable,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re in a better place, with better reporting, subject-matter experts and a defined process.\u201d But he said he was still learning what \u201ctakes place in the field, where we haven\u2019t had adequate reporting and protocols.\u201d The NPS is \u201cnot quite there yet on accountability,\u201d Vela said. \u201cEvery leader in the Park Service must own this,\u201d and it will be used in their performance evaluation process.",

(Baseball Canada/Instagram)\nCanada beats U.S. for bronze in extras at women\u2019s baseball World Cup\nCanada won silver at the last tournament in South Korea in 2016, losing to No. 1-ranked Japan\nVeteran Ashley Stephenson came into the women\u2019s baseball World Cup with the mindset that the tournament could be her last as a player.\nNow that she\u2019s leaving with a bronze medal after a dramatic win over the United States, the third baseman from Mississauga, Ont., isn\u2019t quite sure she\u2019s ready to give it up.\nStephenson drove in two runs as part of a five-run 10th inning after Daphnee Gelinas broke the tie with an RBI single, and Canada held on to defeat the host United States 8-5 in Viera, Fla., on Friday.\n\u201cI was talking to Kate Psota, another veteran on the team, and she was like: \u2018I don\u2019t know how we can hang it up after this. That was just way too much fun,\u2019\u201d Stephenson said with a laugh. \u201dWe just kind of chuckled to ourselves and left the room without saying anything else \u2014 so yeah, it will be a cliffhanger for the next little bit.\n\u201cI approached it like it was my last tournament and have no regrets about it. It\u2019s every two years so it\u2019s a big commitment. \u2026 But we didn\u2019t pull the chute just yet.\u201d\nWith international baseball rules in play, the teams began their respective halves of the extra innings with runners on first and second. Neither team managed to push a run across over the eighth and ninth despite plenty of chances on both sides.\n\ud83e\udd49\ud83e\udd49\ud83e\udd49 medal winners!!!#WomensBaseball #TeamC\ud83c\udde8\ud83c\udde6 pic.twitter.com/qfEa48bZoi\n\u2014 Baseball Canada (@baseballcanada) August 31, 2018\nGelinas finally broke through with a run-scoring single off Stacy Piagno in the top of the 10th \u2014 her fourth RBI of the game after a three-run homer in the fifth \u2014 and Anne-Sophie Lavalee made it 5-3 with a bases-loaded hit by pitch. Mia Valke drove in another and Stephenson followed with her two-run base hit.\nRight-hander Allison Schroder, competing in her first World Cup, allowed two runs in the bottom of the 10th before getting a double play to end the game.\nStephenson, a high school teacher, has played in each of the eight World Cups since the tournament\u2019s inception in 2004. Psota, of Burlington, Ont., has done the same while manager Andre Lachance has skipped the team from the beginning.\nThis World Cup marked Lachance\u2019s last at the helm of the women\u2019s national program.\n\u201cWhere the sport\u2019s gone since 2004, not just in our country but across the globe, a lot of it has to do with Andre,\u201d Stephenson said. \u201cToday, the bronze felt like gold and I\u2019m glad he was able to go out with a medal.\u201d\nCanada won silver at the last tournament in South Korea in 2016, losing to No. 1-ranked Japan in the championship final. The Canadians, ranked No. 2, have finished in the top 4 in every World Cup and have six medals \u2014 four bronze and two silvers.\nJapan beat Taiwan for its sixth consecutive gold medal later Friday.\nRELATED: Canada Cup action in photos at B.C.\u2019s Softball City\nGelinas had given Canada a 3-2 lead with her three-run homer in the top of the fifth inning. The second baseman from Repentigny, Que., connected on a 3-1 pitch from Brittany Schutte with one out, sending the ball over the right-field fence and scoring Kaitlyn Ross and Nicole Luchanski.\nCanada was two outs away from victory when the U.S. tied the game on a Malaika Underwood double off Schroder in the bottom of the seventh.\n\u201cWe knew it was going to be tough,\u201d Stephenson said. \u201cI just remember saying when I jogged into the dugout \u2018well let\u2019s have fun.\u2019 International tiebreak, I knew it would be a crazy finish.\u201d\nThe Americans had scored two in the first inning on a single and a bases-loaded hit batter from Canada\u2019s Amanda Asay, who was starting two days after pitching a complete game shutout against Venezuela.\nThe right-hander from Prince George, B.C., who\u2019s in the process of completing a PhD in forestry at UBC, worked 5 2/3 innings before being replaced by the 16-year-old Schroder. The Fruitvale, B.C., native inherited a runner on third, but struck out pinch hitter Samantha Cobb to end the inning.\n\u201cAsay really bared down on the mound and was outstanding,\u201d Stephenson said. \u201cAnd then Schroder came in with nerves of steel. And she just kept dealing in extras.\u201d\nSchroder was one of two 16-year-olds on a Canadian team that blended youth with experience. Five more players on the roster were under 18.\n\u201cThe future is right now for sure for this program.\u201d Stephenson said. \u201cThere\u2019s some veterans that were key, Psota had an unbelievable tournament, Luchanski is always so good. But the young girls really are the future and they\u2019re here and they\u2019re ready.\n\u201cIt\u2019s been fun to watch.\u201d\nMelissa Couto, The Canadian Press\nWhitecaps look to strengthen defence in rematch vs. Earthquakes",

The problem is, it\u2019s also one of the steepest.\nYou gain more than 1,000 feet in that mile, which is the kind of huffing-and-puffing grade you\u2019ll see (or should I say feel) when you climb a 14er.\nBut it\u2019s worth the walk.\nThe lake shimmers green and is surrounded by waterfalls.\nUsually, logs are all over the lake, so you can hop from log to log, just like the cartoon amphibian in \u201cFrogger,\u201d and get out on the lake.\nIt\u2019s quite a drive to the lake, but you\u2019ll see some great views of the Colorado River along the way.\nIt\u2019s one of the best drives in Colorado, too.\nAlso, don\u2019t head back down until you see Spouting Rock.\nIt\u2019s a waterfall that spouts out of the middle of a rock. It\u2019s a cool sight. You can walk right underneath the waterfall if you want.\nYou\u2019ll have to clamber over a few large rocks, so I\u2019d still recommend hiking boots if you have them, or at least a good pair of shoes.\nAfter you\u2019re done, try to find someplace high and watch the fireworks.\nI\u2019ve had a busy hiking season so far, so that\u2019s all the hiking I\u2019m going to do that day.

        "raw_content": "Sony relocates European electronics HQ from UK to Netherlands amid Brexit fears\nFearing a no-deal Brexit, Sony is moving the UK headquarters of its electronics wing to the Netherlands.\nAccording to the BBC, the move is designed to: \u201cAvoid disruptions caused by Brexit.\u201d It will take the form of a merger between its UK operation and its Dutch HQ near Amsterdam. In a statement, Sony said it would mean: \u201cWe can continue our business as usual without disruption once the UK leaves the EU. All our existing European business functions, facilities, departments, sites and location of our people will remain unchanged from today.\u201d\nEssentially, it would mean that Sony electronics\u2019 UK business \u2013 based in Weybridge, Surrey \u2014 would remain a part of the EU, thereby conforming to the EU\u2019s customs procedures even in the event of a no-deal Brexit. Sony is following in the footsteps of Panasonic, which already relocated its European HQ from the UK to Amsterdam, mainly due to fears about taxation in the event of a no-deal Brexit.\nSony said that no jobs in the UK would be affected, and that it has no plans to relocate its London European HQ for the PlayStation side of its business to the continent. Sony incorporated the Dutch company with which its Weybridge business will merge last May, and filed the documents to initiate the move in November 2018.

        "raw_content": "Home/.../General Factors/Biological/Neurobiology\nStudies on neurobiology have compared brain structure and functioning between people with and without gambling problems. These studies reveal changes in brain regions involved in processing reward information, controlling impulses, weighing risks, and making decisions. But the evidence is at an early stage and inconsistent findings have been reported. It is also not clear if the neurobiological changes reflect a vulnerability to harmful gambling or occur as a consequence of harmful gambling.\nBehavioural tasks have been widely used to detect changes in brain functioning. Many studies have found that people with gambling problems are more likely to make impulsive choice and have impaired decision-making. For example, they prefer a smaller reward that is available immediately over a larger reward that is delayed. People with gambling problems often make impulsive choices when experiencing intense moods (e.g., sadness, frustration). This may reflect difficulties in regulating emotions, which can affect gambling behaviour. In more severe cases, there are broader deficits in executive function. Executive function refers to mental skills that enable one to plan, organize, monitor actions, and work toward one\u2019s goals.\nFunctional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has been used to examine brain activity when performing a task. In these studies, participants perform tasks related to reward and decision making while lying in a brain scanner. fMRI studies have found that people with gambling problems show changes in a network of brain regions commonly known as the brain reward system. However, mixed findings have been reported. Some studies have reported stronger activity in people with gambling problems compared to those without gambling problems, while other studies have reported weaker activity.\nActivity in the brain reward system may be shaped by the structural characteristics of gambling games. Structural characteristics are specific game features. For example, a near-miss is a game feature where the outcome is very close to a win (e.g., getting two out of the three jackpot symbols). Near-misses can motivate people to gamble longer. It has been reported that near-misses trigger responses in the brain reward system, specifically the striatum and insula. These brain responses are stronger in people with gambling problems when compared to those without gambling problems.\nDopamine is a key neurotransmitter in the brain reward system. Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging has been used to measure dopamine release in the brain. Some studies have found an increase in dopamine release in people with gambling problems during a gambling task or after taking an amphetamine. (Amphetamine is a stimulant drug that increases the release of dopamine, leading to pleasurable effects, and can be addictive.)\nTo date, the most promising drug therapy for gambling is the opioid receptor antagonist, naltrexone. Naltrexone targets dopamine pathways in the brain. Some clinical trials have supported the benefits of naltrexone in reducing gambling problems. However, the mechanism of how the drug works as a gambling treatment is still unknown.\nA few studies have examined the noradrenaline system, which is a hormone system that plays a key role in arousal. People with gambling problems may have increased arousal, such as increased heart rate, due to an abnormal noradrenaline system. Increased arousal during gambling may be a sign of harmful gambling, but the evidence is mixed. Other studies have begun to look at the serotonin system, which is known to contribute to mood and anxiety disorders. The serotonin system may be very relevant as many people with gambling problems also have mood and anxiety disorders.\nSearch the Evidence Centre for Neurobiology",

        "raw_content": "Cricket Controversies That the World Can\u2019t Get Over\nFor as long as we know, cricket has had plenty of controversies around it, here, in the following article we have enlisted a number of them that the world witnessed as the biggest of the controversies in the history.\nThe West Indian fast ghouls\nThe 1970s and 1980 witnessed a golden period for the West Indies\u2019 cricket team and a period of distress for the rest of the teams for the West Indians collectively intimidated the other teams with its league of fast bowlers who beat even the sweet out of the Australian team known for its consistent victories for a long period of time. The alleged league of fast bowlers included- Courtney Walsh, Colin Croft, Andy Roberts, Malcom Marshall, Joel Garner, Michael Holding and Curtly Ambrose.\nThese bowlers had a lightning speed delivery of the balls at the speed of 90 mph and recorded a spin of the highest number of fast bowlers in the history of cricket for the said period. The West Indian cricket players were a nightmare come true for the Australian and the English cricket teams when they took turns to frighten the opponent\u2019s batsmen on the field.\nThe West Indies\u2019 fast bowlers used to take forever to bowl their overs \u2013 often at the rate of 11 or 12 an hour; due to which it became an Everest task for the opponent batsmen, and for the spectators, these slow over seemed boring\nSouth African Cricket Bewilderment\nSouth Africa had to undergo a huge cricket blackout for the period of 21 long years! If you are wondering, what mishap caused this, then my dear friend you are in for a major amazement since, the country itself lead to its loss of cricket for the longest period due to colour discrimination with the talented and spirited Basil D\u2019Oliveria. Popularly known as \u2018Dollie\u2019, Basil hailed from South Africa was barred from representing his home country due to the then extreme racist rules that prevailed in the country. Dollie, unstoppable as he was, went ahead to represent England after getting selected in the team but faced a major backlash from his home country while on a tour to South Africa along with threats to the English players. Since then, for a period of 21 years, South Africa got grounded as a consequence to their actions.\nThe Pakistani string operation\nEver since the evolution of cricket, Pakistan has been the backbone of all controversies of which, the \u2018News of the World\u2019 string operation went literally to fulfil the purpose of its namesake as it is during the final test of the England v Pakistan test series in 2010 involving Salman Butt, the captain, Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Asif in a string operation carried out by the now defunct newspaper \u2018News of the world\u2019. The idea was to fix the outcome of a number of predefined deliveries so that the amount of money could be made from the spot betting market after which the three players were banned from cricket for a long period of time and were even tried in the English court for their misconduct.\nCricket gyaan",

        "raw_content": "True to my late-adopter ways, I went to my first Meetup last night. Of course, I\u2019ve met people from the internet before, but this was the first time I\u2019ve done it this way. I signed up at meetup.com last fall hoping to find a Harry Potter group near me but there wasn\u2019t one\u2013or not an established one anyway; there was one that had one meeting and then disappeared due to lack of interest and/or funding, I\u2019m not sure which\u2013and I wasn\u2019t so excited about the idea that I wanted to try and organize a new group so I wandered off and read more fanfic and then took up knitting so I could make house scarves. Then a few weeks ago an e-mail landed in one of my inboxes that a new HP group was starting up in the Detroit metro area. Rather surprising, as I\u2019d forgotten I signed up for alerts like that. It turned out, the time and location worked for me, so I RSVP\u2019d yes and there I was last night, at a Meetup.\nAs an unexpected bonus, I also got to be at a book signing, as Giada De Laurentiis was there promoting her cookbook. Since I neither watch much Food Network (now that I\u2019m over Iron Chef) or cook much, I didn\u2019t know who she was, but many, many people did\u2013the line snaked around shelves for what seemed like miles. Once we were pretty sure no more people were going to show for the Meetup, we went and stood in the Giada line, since John (who\u2019d organized the Meetup) had a copy to be signed. We talked Potter and semi-related stuff while we inched forward through travel books and music CDs and assorted DVDs and it seemed like an ideal way to pass time in line\u2013meeting new people. Maybe I\u2019ll try that next time I go to a theme park\u2013though I suppose just picking random strangers out wouldn\u2019t work as well. When we got up to the table I saw that Ms. De Laurentiis is very pretty and\u2013near as I could tell with her sitting down behind a table\u2013petite.\nAnd then it was time to head home, but there\u2019s another HP Meetup next month, at which perhaps we\u2019ll sit down the whole time. I\u2019m planning to bring my not-yet-a-Weasley-sweater. By then perhaps I\u2019ll have finished the back and started on the front. It could happen.\nComments Off on Meetup",

Although there has been a decrease in those who still choose to drink and drive, there are still thousands of people who are injured on the roads each year as a result of drink drivers.\nThe alcohol limit for drivers in the UK is 80 milligrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood (it is just 50 milligrammes in Scotland!). Although there are guides as to how many alcoholic drinks this equates too, it is difficult to determine these levels because it varies from person to person and depends upon the following:\nhow much you have eaten recently\nyour age (younger people tend to process alcohol more slowly)\nThe reason that alcohol increases the risk of driving accidents is that many of the functions that we need to drive safely such as coordination, clear vision, reaction times, and information processing are affected when we drink alcohol. You are also more likely to take potentially dangerous risks because alcohol inhibits your behaviours.\nDecide who, if anyone is going to be the designated driver and will therefore abstain from alcohol on a night out so they can drive safely.\nTake advantage of good public transport links if available or make sure you have a reputable taxi number.\nIf you have no option but to drive, stick to alcohol free beers, \u2018mocktails\u2019 or soft drinks.\nNot every night out has to involve a bar or pub \u2013 book a table at a restaurant or go bowling or to the cinema.\nIt takes on average about one hour for your body to break down each unit of alcohol you consume and on some occasions it may take many hours for the alcohol to leave the system.

        "title": "Introduction to Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) - ADHD: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder",
        "raw_content": "Margaret V. Austin, Ph.D.\nimage by David Goehring (lic)What is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder - ADHD?\nAdrian is a 7-year-old boy. He is making his second attempt to pass the first grade. He is halfway through the school year, but still hasn't improved very much. His teacher, Ms. Carter, taught Adrian in her classroom last year and now again this year. Ms. Carter is a young, enthusiastic teacher. She has actively worked with Adrian to improve his ability to pay attention in class. However, she is now asking for help because she has seen little progress for her efforts.\nAdrian is an energetic boy who talks almost constantly. He talks over other children. He forgets to raise his hand. He interrupts his teachers during classroom lessons. He has trouble sitting in his seat and frequently wanders around the classroom. He is unable to read or to complete his math problems. These difficulties occur because he can't stay on task long enough to benefit from the lesson. His unruly behavior is taking a great deal of Ms. Carter's time. Meanwhile, his need for extra attention is interfering with other students' learning opportunities. Adrian is a kind boy, who often engages other children in a friendly manner. However, Ms. Carter has noticed the other children are becoming annoyed by his disruptive behavior. They have begun to avoid him. Ms. Carter is deeply concerned about Adrian. She knows that if these behaviors continue, Adrian's self-image will plummet as the other children reject him, and school failure continues.\nAdrian's parents are similarly discouraged. They have two other children at home who don't get into trouble and make good grades at school. His parents work hard to provide a supportive environment for Adrian and try to help him with his homework. They have tried many different strategies. However, nothing seems to work. They are becoming increasingly frustrated and worried. They care deeply about Adrian and want him to succeed. Unfortunately, his out-of-control behavior and his inability to pay attention, have created a chaotic home life that is disruptive and unpleasant for the entire family. Both parents acknowledge that at times the situation seems hopeless. Although they feel protective of Adrian, they are also desperate to find help for him.\nAs a result of Ms. Carter's request, the school called a meeting to bring all the adults together to discuss Adrian's situation. They agreed to ask a psychologist to conduct an evaluation of Adrian and discussed the need for an Individual Education Plan. The psychologist met with Adrian, his parents, his teachers, and his physician. Adrian was evaluated in each of his typical environments. During this process, the psychologist worked diligently to obtain input from the adults involved with Adrian's education and care. The purpose of this thorough evaluation was to obtain as much information as possible from many different perspectives (caregivers, teachers, doctors, etc.). This enabled the psychologist to develop a diagnosis and a comprehensive treatment plan. Based on this evaluation, Adrian was diagnosed with ADHD. Then, the psychologist helped the adults work together to develop an individualized plan to meet Adrian's special needs. This type of plan is commonly called an Individual Educational Plan (IEP).\nThe IEP had many different elements. The parents took Adrian to his pediatrician. Adrian's doctor prescribed stimulant medication to help improve his attention skills. Adrian's parents were initially reluctant to use medication. However, the situation had deteriorated so much they were willing to give it a try. They also took a parenting class to learn behavior management skills. These new skills enabled them to create a more structured and consistent home environment. Furthermore, these skills allowed Adrian's parents to work more calmly with him. They learned to reward positive behaviors, while attempting to ignore (not reward) the negative ones.\nAdrian did his part as well. He participated in group therapy with other kids who had similar problems. Adrian and the other children in his therapy group learned about ADHD and how it affects them. They also learned new skills. Some of these skills helped Adrian to develop greater self-regulation. Adrian also learned social skills so he could enjoy more rewarding relationships with his peers.\nAs part of the IEP, the psychologist developed a plan for Adrian's teachers. This plan helped to create a more structured classroom environment for Adrian. This structured approach made classroom expectations clear, and rewarded positive behavior. The IEP stipulated the teacher should be provided an additional classroom aide. The specially trained aide worked with Adrian to help him learn new skills while limiting behaviors that interfered with other children's learning experiences. The overall goal of the IEP was to provide Adrian the support he needed to develop important academic skills. It also helped him to use greater self-control at home, and in the classroom.\nWorking together, Adrian's team helped him to improve his behavior so he could succeed in school and enjoy rewarding relationships. It was a challenging process that required the commitment of many people. At first it was difficult. Nonetheless, with perseverance, the coordinated efforts of everyone involved allowed Adrian to gradually improve.\nAdrian may continue to face challenges related to ADHD for most of his life. Nonetheless, his ability to function well in different environments enabled him to adopt a positive outlook. This increased his confidence in his ability to overcome challenges. The success of this case study highlights the importance of early diagnosis and treatment with a team approach. Early diagnosis is made possible by recognizing the signs and symptoms. This is covered in the next section.\n<a href=\"//www.helenfarabee.org/poc/view_doc.php?type=doc&id=12661&cn=3\">Introduction to Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)</a>",

This study examined the relationship between on-call duty exposure (active and total on-call hours a month, number of calls per duty) and employees\u2019 experiences of being on-call (stress due to unpredictability, ability to relax during inactive on-call periods, restrictions during on-call duties, on-call work demands, and satisfaction with compensation for on-call duties) on the one hand and fatigue, strain-based and time-based work-home interference (WHI), and perceived on-call performance difficulties (PPD) on the other hand. Methods. Cross-sectional survey data were collected among a large heterogeneous sample of Dutch employees (). The final sample consisted of 157 on-call workers (23\u201369 years, 71% males). Data were analyzed by means of hierarchical regression analyses (controlling for age and job characteristics). Results. Differences in on-call work exposure were not systematically related to fatigue, WHI, and PPD (all p\u2019s ). The experience of being on-call explained a medium proportion of the variation in fatigue and strain-based WHI and a medium to large proportion of the variation in time-based WHI and PPD over and above the control variables. Conclusions. Our results suggest that it is employees\u2019 experience of being on-call, especially the experience of stress due to the unpredictability, rather than the amount of exposure, that is related to fatigue, WHI, and perceived on-call performance difficulties.\nOn-call work refers to work done on an \u201cas needed basis,\u201d meaning that employees must be available at certain times to be called to work if required by the employer. Typically, this form of scheduling is used to provide 24/7 coverage in facilities where emergencies that need to be dealt with immediately can occur [1]. On-call work occurs in a wide variety of occupations, such as firemen, police officers, doctors, midwives, utility workers, engineers, information technologists, and airline pilots [1, 2].\nPrevious research has shown that on-call work can have negative effects on employees\u2019 well-being and work-related outcomes such as performance and turnover intentions [3\u20138]. However, most studies have focused on medical staff with on-site standby duties (i.e., duties during which employees remain at the workplace and that count as working time). The aim of the present study was to gain more insight into the consequences of another type of on-call work: \u201coff-site\u201d on-call duties during which employees do not remain at work but can be called to work in case of an emergency. In order to do so, we first examined how exposure to off-site on-call duties relates to fatigue, work-home interference, and performance difficulties. Second, we examined employees\u2019 experience of this on-call exposure. Occupational health research has shown that exposure to work can be especially detrimental when employees\u2019 experiences of the work are unfavorable (e.g., [9\u201312]). Therefore, we studied not only \u201cobjective\u201d exposure to on-call duties in relation to fatigue, WHI, and performance difficulties, but also how employees\u2019 experiences of being on-call relate to these outcome measures.\nIn the following, the potential consequences of (i) on-call duty exposure and (ii) on-call duty experiences will be discussed.\n1.1. Exposure to Off-Site On-Call Duties\nExposure to on-call work is likely to affect employees\u2019 recovery from work. In The Netherlands and other European countries, off-site on-call duties are officially considered rest time, not working time [13]. Only when an employee is called to work, the active hours are legally considered working hours. This means that employees can be on-call in between regular work-hours, that is, during time that is usually reserved for recovery from work. Recovering from work-related load reactions is critical for employees\u2019 well-being and health [14]. According to the effort-recovery model [15], a long-lasting situation of incomplete recovery from load effects (e.g., fatigue) that unavoidably build up due to effort expenditure at work eventually results in chronic load reactions, which, according to allostatic load theory [16], lead to impaired health (e.g., [17, 18]).\nThere are several ways in which exposure to on-call work can affect recovery. First of all, being called to work during an on-call duty means an interruption of employees\u2019 free time, an extension of exposure to work demands, and, thus, less time for recovery. Second, restrictions with regard to location and activities during on-call duties (e.g., having to stay within a certain radius from the workplace and to abstain from alcohol) may interfere with employees\u2019 leisure activities and cause work-home interference and thereby impair recovery [6, 10]. Third, it is likely that the restrictions and the possibility of being called to work interfere with the ability to psychologically detach from work. Psychological detachment refers to mentally disengaging from work and not thinking about work-related issues [9]. A lack of detachment relates to negative recovery-related outcomes such as fatigue, work-home interference, and emotional exhaustion (e.g., [19\u201321]).\nIn addition to the potential negative effects on employees\u2019 well-being, such as fatigue and work-home interference, on-call work might also have negative effects on work performance. Previous research has shown that frequent standby duties are associated with, for example, decreased visual memory, reaction times, vigilance, and clinical performance (e.g., [3, 22\u201324]). In driving simulation experiments, employees\u2019 performance after a standby duty has been found to be comparable to the effect of a 0.05% [23] or even 0.1% blood alcohol concentration [25, 26]. There are several reasons to assume that performance is also reduced during off-site on-call duties. First, during on-call duties, employees can be called to work while not fully recovered from prior work efforts, which may result in a suboptimal condition to perform well. Second, in case of a call, workers are quite abruptly drawn from a nonwork ambiance into a high effort work situation. This \u201cswitch\u201d might make it more difficult to optimally direct one\u2019s attention towards work-related tasks.\nTaken together, there are reasons to believe that exposure to on-call work may have negative consequences such as fatigue, work-home interference, and performance difficulties. Based on the effort-recovery model [15] our first hypothesis is that the amount of exposure to on-call duties is positively related to (a) fatigue, (b) strain-based WHI (occurs when tensions built up at work are transferred to private life [27]), (c) time-based WHI (occurs when work obligations make it timewise impossible to meet obligations in the private domain [27]), and (d) on-call performance difficulties. In the present study, exposure was operationalized as (i) the number of hours a month employees are on call, (ii) the number of active on-call hours (i.e., working hours) a month, and (iii) the average number of calls per on-call duty.\n1.2. Experience of Being On-Call\nAs mentioned above, besides factual exposure, we also took employees\u2019 experience of the on-call duties into account. Previous research has shown that exposure to work can be especially detrimental when employees\u2019 work experiences are unfavorable (e.g., [9\u201312]). Off-site on-call duties may be experienced unfavorably for several reasons.\nFirst of all, on-call duties can be experienced as stressful due to the high unpredictability and the lack of control over whether or not one will be called to work. Previous research has shown that unpredictability can indeed cause stress [28]. Second, the unpredictability and restrictions may also interfere with employees\u2019 ability to relax, which in turn is important for psychological detachment and recovery [9]. Another cause of stress may be that employees are usually only called in case of a critical incident when there is no one else to deal with it. As such, the work may be experienced as taxing and demanding, which in turn may lead to stress [15, 29]. Finally, since on-call duties officially count as rest time, only the actual working hours have to be compensated for [13]. Employees\u2019 satisfaction with the compensation they receive is likely to affect the consequences of on-call duties. According to Siegrist\u2019s [30] effort-reward imbalance model, perceived imbalance between employees\u2019 amount of effort and the rewards they receive for their efforts leads to negative consequences such as fatigue. Furthermore, in case of satisfactory compensation, employees may be more likely to experience their on-call duties as working time, which might make the restrictions more acceptable and on-call duties potentially even desirable.\nBased on the effort-recovery model [15], the effort-reward imbalance model [30], and previous research on the relevance of the psychological experience of work (e.g., [6, 10, 11, 31, 32]), our second hypothesis is that the more employees experience their on-call duties as unfavourable, the more (2a) fatigue, (2b) strain-based WHI, (2c) time-based WHI, and (2d) on-call performance difficulties they will show. In the present study, experience of on-call duties was operationalized as (i) the experience of stress due to the lack of control over whether or not being called to work, (ii) the ability to relax during inactive on-call periods, (iii) the perceived on-call work demands, (iv) restrictions, and (v) the satisfaction with the compensation for on-call duties.\n2.1. Procedure and Participants\nThe data were collected by means of an online questionnaire in autumn 2013. The sample was derived from an earlier questionnaire study (Netherlands Working Conditions Survey (NWCS), year 2010) conducted by the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research (TNO) and Statistics Netherlands [33]. The link to the questionnaire of the present study was sent to all respondents of the earlier questionnaire who had volunteered to participate in subsequent studies (). Reminders were sent two and three weeks after the initial invitation. The response rate was 33.1% (). Out of the 1798 employees, 203 (11.3%) indicated working on-call and were therefore relevant to the present study.\nRespondents who indicated working less than 24 hours a week () were excluded from the present study because work should constitute a substantial part of participant\u2019s lives when studying the consequences of work. Furthermore, one participant who indicated working more than 48 hours a week on contract (i.e., more than the legal maximum) was excluded. Likewise, respondents who indicated working less than one or more than 336 hours a month on-call (i.e., more than the legal maximum) were excluded from the present study (). Finally, five respondents were excluded due to missing data on several study variables. This resulted in a final sample of 157 participants (70.7% males).\nOn average, participants worked 36.2 hours a week on contract (SD = 4.91). Their mean age was 45.0 years (SD = 11.07) with a range from 23 to 69 years. Most of the participants had completed higher vocational education (38.9%) or vocational training (26.1%) and 17.8% had a university degree. About 16.0% of the participants had completed secondary school and 1.2% had completed elementary school or did not complete any education. Seventy-seven percent of the participants were married or cohabiting and 44.6% had children living in their household. Most respondents worked as social workers or in health care professions (22.9%), as specialists (i.e., IT specialists, engineers; 21.7%) or in service professions (14.6%).\n2.2.1. On-Call Duty Exposure\nRespondents were asked to indicate the frequency of on-call duties per month, the average duration of those duties in hours, and the time spent working during an average on-call duty. Based on these exposure items, the number of on-call hours per month (product of the frequency of on-call duties a month and the duration of one on-call duty) and the number of active on-call hours per month (product of the frequency of on-call duties per month and the average amount of time spent working during an average on-call duty) were computed. The average number of calls per on-call duty was assessed with the following item: \u201con average, how many times are you called to work during one on-call duty?\u201d\n2.2.2. Experience of Being On-Call\nDue to a lack of validated scales, all on-call work experiences were assessed with self-developed items. Response scales were based on the well-known Dutch grade notation system ranging from 1 to 10 [34]. Satisfaction with compensation for on-call duties was assessed with the following item: \u201chow satisfied are you with the compensation of your on-call duties?\u201d (1 = extremely unsatisfied, 10 = extremely satisfied). On-call work demands were assessed with the item: \u201chow taxing is the work that you have to do when being called during an on-call duty?\u201d (1 = not at all taxing, 10 = extremely taxing). The experience of restrictions (on-call restrictions) was assessed with the item: \u201cto what extent do you feel restricted during on-call duties (e.g., in choosing leisure activities)?\u201d (1 = not at all restricted, 10 = extremely restricted). The ability to relax (on-call relaxation) was assessed with the item \u201chow well can you relax during periods in which you do not have to work during on-call duties?\u201d (1 = not at all, 10 = extremely well). Finally, the experience of stress due to unpredictability (on-call stress) was assessed with the following: \u201chow stressful do you find not having control over whether or not you will be called during an on-call duty?\u201d (1 = not at all stressful, 10 = extremely stressful).\n2.2.3. Fatigue\nFatigue was assessed with a shortened version (four items) of the Fatigue Assessment Scale (FAS) [35]. An example item is \u201cI suffer from fatigue.\u201d Answers were provided on a five-point Likert scale (1 = almost never; 2 = sometimes; 3 = regularly; 4 = often; 5 = almost always). Cronbachs\u2019 \u03b1 for this scale was 0.84.\n2.2.4. Work-Home Interference (WHI)\nWork-home interference (WHI) was measured with a shortened version of the negative work-home interference scale of the SWING questionnaire [36]. A distinction was made between strain-based WHI (3 items; e.g., \u201chow often does it occur that you are irritable at home because your work is demanding?\u201d; \u03b1 = 0.83) and time-based WHI (3 items; e.g., \u201chow frequently does it occur that your work schedule makes it difficult for you to fulfill your domestic obligations?\u201d; \u03b1 = 0.78). Responses were provided on a four-point Likert scale (1 = almost never; 2 = sometimes; 3 = often; 4 = almost always).\n2.2.5. Perceived On-Call Performance Difficulties (PPD)\nPPD were assessed with four items which were based on the Dutch scale for measuring experienced load (Schaal Ervaren Belasting, [29]). An example item is \u201chow much effort does it cost you to complete your tasks without errors when you are called to work during on-call duty?\u201d Respondents had to indicate their answer on a scale from 1 (= no effort at all) to 10 (= extremely much effort). Cronbachs\u2019 \u03b1 for this scale was 0.94. It should be noted that fatigue and WHI were assessed as general items (i.e., not in relation to on-call duties), whereas PPD were on-call duty specific.\nIn order to avoid potential confounding, we included respondents\u2019 gender (0 = male, 1 = female), age (years), children in the household (0 = no, 1 = yes), and cohabiting or marital status (0 = single, 1 = cohabiting or married) as control variables in the questionnaire. Furthermore, to examine whether the on-call duty variables can explain a significant amount of variance in fatigue, WHI, and PPD over and above general job characteristics, we controlled for three important job characteristics [30]. Job demands were assessed with four items from the Questionnaire on the Experience and Assessment of Work (VBBA, [37]). An example item is \u201cdo you have to work extra hard?\u201d Responses were provided on a four-point Likert scale (1 = almost never; 4 = almost always; \u03b1 = 0.84). Autonomy was assessed with three items based on the Job Content Questionnaire [38, 39]. An example item is \u201ccan you decide how your work is executed on your own?\u201d Answers were provided on a three-point Likert scale (1 = yes, regularly, 2 = yes, sometimes, and 3 = no). The average score was mirrored for the ease of interpretation, so that higher scores indicate a higher degree of autonomy. Cronbachs\u2019 \u03b1 for this scale was 0.80. Social support by the supervisor was assessed with three items based on the TNO Work Situation Survey (TAS, [40, 41]). An example item is \u201cmy supervisor has an eye for the well-being of his/her employees.\u201d Respondents could indicate the extent to which they agree with the items on a Likert scale from 1 (= totally disagree) to 4 (= totally agree). Cronbachs\u2019 \u03b1 for this scale was 0.87.\nFinally, in the analyses concerning the experiences of being on-call which included employees\u2019 satisfaction with the compensation they receive for their on-call duties, we controlled for compensation for on-call duties. This variable included compensation in money, extra free time, or both and was measured with the following item: \u201cdo you receive compensation for your on-call duties?\u201d (1=no, 2 = yes, for the actual working hours, and 3 = yes, for the entire on-call duty). Employees who did receive compensation were also asked whether they received compensation in extra free time, money, or both. Preliminary analyses (the results of these analyses can be requested from the first author) revealed no significant differences between the different types of compensation with regard to fatigue, WHI, and PPD. As such, the variable compensation for on-call duties was dummy coded (0 = no compensation, 1 = compensation).\n3.1. Descriptive Statistics of On-Call Duty Exposure and the Experience of Being On-Call\nAs can be seen in Table 1, variance in on-call duty exposure was large. On average, employees were 69.31 hours on-call per month (SD = 71.97) with a range from 1 to 336. Half of the respondents spent 48 hours or less on-call per month and only 7.6% were on-call more than 168 hours (i.e., more than one week per month). The mean number of monthly active on-call hours was 13.78 (SD = 22.90) hours with a range from 0 to 180. Nearly one-quarter (24.8%) of the employees indicated that, during an average on-call duty, they are not called to work and 45.9% indicated that, on average, they are called once.\nTable 1: Descriptive statistics of the main variables ().\nA majority of the participants (57.5%) felt at least somewhat restricted during their on-call duties (score 6 or higher). Nearly one-third (30.6%) of the participants experienced \u201cnot having control over whether or not they will be called to work during their on-call duties\u201d as at least somewhat stressful (score 6 or higher) and 26.1% found it at least somewhat difficult to relax during on-call duties (score 5 or lower). More than a third (43.3%) experienced the work they have to do when called as (reasonably) taxing (score 6 or higher). With regard to satisfaction with compensation for on-call work, 45.2% scored 5 or lower, indicating that they were at least somewhat dissatisfied. The descriptive statistics and percentiles of the experience variables are presented in Table 1.\nCorrelations among all variables under examination are displayed in Table 2. Except for a significant negative correlation between the number of calls per duty and satisfaction with compensation for on-call duties, there were no significant correlations between on-call exposure and the experience of being on-call. Also, the on-call exposure variables showed no significant relationship with any of the \u201coutcome\u201d variables. Experienced on-call work demands showed a significant positive correlation with PPD and time-based WHI; the experience of restrictions showed a significant positive correlation with fatigue and both time- and strain-based WHI. The experience of stress due to the lack of control correlated positively with all dependent variables, and the ability to relax during on-call duties correlated negatively with all four dependent variables. Lastly, satisfaction with compensation was significantly negatively correlated with strain-based WHI and perceived performance difficulties. Preliminary multivariate analyses revealed that the control variables gender, marital status, and children in the household were not related to the outcome variables (all ); therefore these variables were excluded from further analyses. The descriptive statistics of the included control variables can be found in Table 1.\nTable 2: Correlations among the variables under examination ().\n3.2. On-Call Work Exposure in relation to Fatigue, WHI, and PPD\nIn order to test the first hypothesis, four two-step hierarchical multiple regression analyses were conducted (i.e., one for each of the dependent variables: fatigue, strain-based WHI, time-based WHI, and PPD). The control variables (i.e., age, job demands, autonomy, and social support) were entered in step one of the regression and the exposure variables (number of hours on-call per month, number of active on-call hours per month, and average number of calls per duty) were entered as predictors in step two.\nThe results showed that the number of hours on-call per month, the number of active on-call hours per month, and average number of calls per duty did not explain an additional, significant proportion of variance in either fatigue (, , and ), perceived on-call performance difficulties (, , and ), strain-based WHI (, , and ), or time-based WHI (, , and ) over and above the control variables. As such, Hypothesis 1 was not supported.\n3.3. Experience of Being On-Call in relation to Fatigue, WHI, and PPD\nHypothesis 2 was tested with four two-step hierarchical multiple regression analyses. The four dependent variables were fatigue, strain-based WHI, time-based WHI, and PPD. The control variables (i.e., age, compensation for on-call duties, job demands, autonomy, and social support) were entered in step one of the regression; the experience variables (i.e., on-call stress due to unpredictability, on-call relaxation, on-call restrictions, on-call work demands, and satisfaction with compensation for on-call duties) were entered as predictors in step two.\nThe first analysis revealed that the control variables (model 1) explained 11.4% of the variation in fatigue and that the experience of being on-call (model 2) explained an additional 6.8%. This change in was significant (, ). As can be seen in Table 3, the level of stress experienced during on-call duties due to the lack of control was positively related to fatigue. Contrary to our expectations, the level of experienced work demands was negatively related to fatigue, and the experience of restrictions, the ability to relax during on-call duties, and the satisfaction with compensation for on-call duties were not significantly related to fatigue. As such, Hypothesis (2a) was only partly supported.\nTable 3: Summary of hierarchical regression predicting fatigue from the experience of being on-call.\n3.3.2. Work-Home Interference\nWith regard to strain-based WHI, the control variables (model 1) explained 12.4% of the variation and the experience of being on-call (model 2) explained an additional 9.0%. This change in was significant (, ). As can be seen in Table 4, stress experienced during on-call duties due to the lack of control was positively related to strain-based WHI. Contrary to our expectations, satisfaction with compensation for on-call duties, on-call restrictions, and on-call relaxation were not significantly related to this outcome measure, and the level of on-call work demands was negatively related to strain-based WHI. Consequently, Hypothesis (2b) was only partly confirmed.\nTable 4: Summary of hierarchical regression predicting strain-based WHI from the experience of being on-call.\nWith regard to time-based WHI, the control variables (model 1) explained 19.7% of the variation, and the experience of being on-call (model 2) explained an additional 12.2%. This change in was significant (, ). As can be seen in Table 5, only the experiences of stress and restrictions during on-call duties were significantly positively related to time-based WHI. The experienced level of on-call work demand, the ability to relax during on-call duties, and the satisfaction with compensation for on-call duties were not significantly related to time-based WHI. As such, Hypothesis (2c) was partly confirmed as well.\nTable 5: Summary of hierarchical regression predicting time-based WHI from the experience of being on-call.\n3.3.3. Perceived On-Call Performance Difficulties\nThe control variables (model 1) accounted for 9.4% of the variation in PPD; the experience of being on-call (model 2) accounted for an additional 12.0% of the variation. This change in was significant (, ). As can be seen in Table 6, only the level of on-call work demands was positively related to PPD. Satisfaction with compensation for on-call duties showed a marginal negative relationship with PPD. The experience of restriction, the experience of stress, and the ability to relax during on-call work were not significantly related to PPD. As such, Hypothesis (2d) was partly supported.\nTable 6: Summary of hierarchical regression predicting PPD from the experience of being on-call.\n4.1. Discussion of the Results\nOff-site on-call duties are an interesting yet relatively understudied working time arrangement [1, 6]. Therefore, we aimed to gain more insight into the relationship between the exposure to off-site on-call duties and the experience of being on-call on the one hand and fatigue, strain-based and time-based WHI, and PPD on the other hand.\nIn the present study sample, there was a large variation in the amount of exposure to on-call work. Contrary to our first hypothesis, differences in exposure to on-call work were not systematically related to any of the outcome variables. This is not in line with previous research conducted among physicians that found frequent on-call duties to be related to distress and turnover intentions [7]. However, physicians\u2019 on-call duties mostly take place during the night, and night shifts have been shown to be negatively related to employees\u2019 well-being and health, possibly due to sleep deprivation [42]. This might explain why the frequency of on-call duties has been found to have negative consequences in previous research but not in the present study, where 93% of the employees indicated that their on-call duties took place during the day as well. Another explanation for the nonsignificant results may lie in our exposure measures. Due to the heterogeneity of our study sample, we did not have access to individual on-call schedules and we tried to get insight into the participants\u2019 average exposure to on-call duties by means of multiple items on average exposure. However, when schedules vary a lot, it may not be easy for each employee to indicate the average number of on-call duties a month. Also, the average time spent working during one duty and the average number of calls may show large intraindividual variation. In order to be able to draw clear conclusions about the relationship between off-site on-call duty exposure, fatigue, WHI, and PPD, further research with larger samples that include different professions and different types of on-call duties (e.g., with regard to the length and timing) is needed. In addition to self-reports, company registered data of on-call work exposure should be used. Furthermore, a repeated measurements diary study in which participants keep track of their on-call hours and momentary experiences might provide more insight into the relationship between the actual on-call duty exposure and fatigue, work-home interference, and performance. Multiwave diary designs would also allow disentangling the effects of different types of on-call shifts (e.g., night shifts and day shifts).\nThe second hypothesis was partly confirmed. Many employees experienced their on-call duties as (somewhat) unfavourable. The experience of being on-call in turn was related to fatigue, strain-based and time-based WHI, and on-call performance difficulties, but not all experiences contributed significantly to the prediction. All in all, on-call stress (i.e., the experience of stress due to the unpredictability of being on-call) seemed to be the most important predictor as it was positively related to all \u201coutcome\u201d variables except for performance difficulties. Employees\u2019 satisfaction with the compensation they received for their on-call duties and their ability to relax during inactive on-call work periods were not related to either fatigue, WHI, or PPD when controlling for important job characteristics. Feeling restricted during on-call work was related to the most proximal criterion, that is, time-based WHI, but did not explain any additional variance in strain-based WHI, PPD, or general fatigue over and above the control variables. Contrary to what we expected based on the effort-recovery model [15], on-call work demands were negatively related to fatigue and strain-based WHI. This result is theoretically implausible. In post hoc analyses (the results of these analyses can be requested from the first author) with (i) fatigue and (ii) strain-based WHI as dependent variables, we compared what happens when on-call work demand is the only predictor besides the control variables to what happens when on-call work stress is the only predictor. For both dependent variables, the effect sizes of on-call demands and on-call stress are similar, but whereas the significant effects of on-call demands only appear when this variable is entered into the analysis in combination with the other experiences, this is not the case for on-call stress (which is a significant predictor when entered alone as well as with the other predictors). In other words, the effects of on-call stress remain significant when it is the only predictor besides the control variables. Furthermore, the Pearson correlations between on-call work demands and both dependent variables were not significant. Hence, we interpret the significant results for on-call demands as an artefact. Further research is needed to examine the role of on-call work demands in more detail.\nThe limited previous studies on on-call duties focused on only one profession (mostly medical staff), thereby limiting the external validity of the results [1]. Therefore, one asset of the present study is the sample that consisted of a heterogeneous group of employees with different professions and from different organizations. Also, previous studies have mainly focused on on-site standby duties, so another asset is the focus on off-site on-call duties which have been largely neglected so far. Furthermore, to the authors\u2019 knowledge, the present study was the first to investigate both exposure to on-call work duties and their psychological significance (in terms of experiences) in relation to general \u201coutcomes\u201d such as fatigue and work-home interference and an on-call duty specific performance indicator, that is, perceived difficulties to perform well when called to work. Moreover, our analyses were quite strict. We controlled for important general job characteristics, thereby minimizing the possibility of confounding effects.\nNonetheless, several limitations of the present study warrant further research. First, the validity of the on-call duty exposure items is not without problems. Individual scores were highly variable and not always plausible (e.g., a small percentage reported considerably more on-call hours than the legal maximum or more active on-call hours than total on-call hours a month). Respondents producing such errors were excluded from the analyses, but it is possible that our self-developed items were not clear to some participants. As mentioned above, less valid measures might be a reason for the null-findings on on-call exposure. Future research among heterogeneous samples may benefit from more valid measures of on-call duty exposure (e.g., official work schedules).\nSecond, the present study was cross-sectional, so no causal relations can be implied. With regard to employees\u2019 experience of being on-call, bidirectionality of effects might be plausible. For instance, general fatigue and work-home interference may affect employees\u2019 experience of being on-call. Further research with longitudinal or experimental designs is needed to investigate the causal direction of the associations.\nSince on-call duties are officially considered rest time and take place during time meant for recovery [13], the results of the present study are reason for some concern. About one-third of the employees experienced their on-call duties as (reasonably) stressful, which may impair their recovery. Recovery, however, is critical for employees\u2019 well-being and health [15, 16]. Working time legislation only takes the length and frequency of on-call duties into account, but the results of the present study suggest that the psychological aspect (i.e., employees\u2019 experience) of on-call duties may be more important than the number of hours spent on-call and that even short or infrequent on-call periods may interfere with employees\u2019 well-being, thereby presenting a risk for ill health. Employers should therefore pay attention to how employees experience their on-call duties and lighten the on-call burden of employees prone to suffer from stress in order to prevent negative consequences such as fatigue and WHI, which may, in the long run, lead to health problems.\nIn sum, the present study showed that employees\u2019 experience of their on-call duties is related to their general fatigue, work-home interference, and the difficulties they have in performing well when called to work, even when controlling for important job characteristics. Our results suggest that it is the experience of being on-call rather than the variation in exposure to on-call duties itself that is associated with negative outcomes. This means that even a low amount of (active) on-call hours a month and even a low frequency of being called to work can be related to an increase in fatigue and work-home interference, when employees experience being on-call negatively. Therefore, employees\u2019 experience of on-call duties should be included in future studies on on-call work. In addition, future research should be conducted to gain more insight into potential predictors of the experience of being on-call (e.g., individual characteristics) and to investigate how the experience of being on-call can be improved, in order to form a basis from which to develop successful interventions that decrease the negative consequences of being on-call.\nA.-M.

        "raw_content": "Book Review: April 1865: The Month That Saved America (by Jay Winik): CWT\nApril 1865: The Month That Saved America, by Jay Winik, HarperCollins, New York, 520 pages, $30.\nHistorians, in their efforts to offer fresh and exciting interpretations, sometimes handle evidence like trial lawyers. They are so determined to win a case that they downplay conflicting testimony or oversimplify source material to prove an argument, usually at the expense of complexities. Jay Winik, who writes with the elegance of Bruce Catton, unfortunately stretches the evidence past the breaking point in offering a bold interpretation about the ending of the Civil War. In April 1865: The Month that Saved America, he forces himself into a corner by repeatedly claiming that April 1865 stood as the most crucial time of the war. With typical hyperbole, he writes that \u201cApril 1865 is a month that could have unraveled the American nation. Instead, it saved it. It is a month as dramatic and as devastating as any ever faced in American history\u2013and it proved to be perhaps the most moving and decisive month not simply of the Civil War, but indeed, quite likely in the life of the United States.\u201d\nWhile the author is certainly entitled to his opinion, his case quickly unravels because he does not appreciate the complex forces that brought the Confederacy to the brink of collapse by the spring of 1865. His inability to see past the facade of Southern unity largely explains why he believes the South could have achieved independence at a time when even the most devoted Confederates recognized that the end was near. With Lincoln\u2019s reelection in the fall of 1864, coupled with the North\u2019s devastating policy of exhaustion, Confederate morale plummeted and the South followed an irreversible decline to military capitulation. The author\u2019s assertion that Confederate citizens were \u201cas aggressive as ever\u201d in April 1865 does not ring true. The existing sources for that period reveal a people badly fractured by war, depleted, demoralized, and hanging together largely because of their faith in Robert E. Lee.\nA more sophisticated understanding of Confederate dissent would have led the author to a realistic assessment of Confederate chances leading up to Appomattox\u2013an assessment that would have included a more detailed discussion of civilian cries for relief, the dramatic rise in desertion, and the growing disaffection of non-slaveholders. Winik deserves tremendous credit for capturing how slaves resisted the Confederacy and embraced freedom. But if he had connected all these problems on the Southern home front to the Confederacy\u2019s dismal military picture, the author would have reached a more reasonable but less dramatic conclusion about the final month of the war, a month that merely confirmed what most contemporary observers saw as the inevitable fall of the Confederacy.\nWinik tells more than the familiar story of the war\u2019s final month. He wants the reader to see how April 1865 witnessed the resolution of larger historical issues about the nature of the country, about republicanism, race, and regional identity versus national authority. He correctly argues that the conclusion of the Civil War brought revolutionary change, that it unleashed powerful forces that turned the United States into a modern nation-state. War established the supremacy of the federal government while destroying slavery, a political, economic, and social system that supported a distinct ruling class in the South. While this is not a new argument, Winik makes a more compelling case than previous historians because he places the entire Civil War within an international setting, showing that other countries around the world were also becoming modern nations during the same period. Like the United States, they became nation-states through war, not by some neat and tidy legislative act or treaty.\nThe author\u2019s global approach offers the seasoned Civil War student a fresh perspective in a field dominated by narrowly focused studies that never consider the conflict from a national standpoint, let alone an international one. In breaking away from this provincial view, Winik draws from his vast experience as a senior staff member with the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and uses his firsthand knowledge to explain why so many 20th-century civil wars followed a cycle of endless bloodshed. In the case of the United States, the author found a surprising spirit of reconciliation that appeared immediately after Appomattox. Although he acknowledges that bitter, often violent political fights continued during Reconstruction\u2013particularly over the status of freed blacks\u2013Winik believes that Abraham Lincoln\u2019s plea for compassion and forgiveness in his second inaugural address, Ulysses S. Grant\u2019s and William T. Sherman\u2019s generous surrender terms, and Robert E. Lee\u2019s refusal to use guerilla warfare created an atmosphere that ultimately led to a lasting peace.\nWhile Winik is correct that these magnanimous gestures make the American experience exceptional, the final month of the war did not make the nation whole. Not until the Federal government returned home rule to the white South in the 1870s and the United States became involved in the Spanish-American War did Northerners and Southerners come together as Americans. But before that unification occurred, the reconstruction of the nation was filled with violence, political fraud, and economic exploitation, not unlike the tortuous road traveled by other nations wracked by civil war.\n2 Responses to Book Review: April 1865: The Month That Saved America (by Jay Winik): CWT\nBruce Greene says:\nThe comment posted above in this site is spot on in their assesment of Mr. Winik book April 1865 but more than anything Mr. Winiks credibility is destroyed with his many errors; such as the spelling of Nathanael Greene, or that Simon Cameron was his Treasury Secretary or that Salmon Chase was Treasury Secretary at the time of his second inaugural. These obvious errors are very damaging to the book and his over sensationalized and at time sophomoric account of April, 1865.\nI\u2019m in complete agreement with the reviewer of the book, as well as with Bruce. I doubt the accuracy of the book, since one glaring error was to claim John Wilkes Booths date of death was also his birthday. J. Wilkes Booth was born on May 10, 1838 and died on April 26, 1865. This is so glraing, it made me question everything else, even though I\u2019m not very familiar with Civil War history.\nI wish the author had decided to write a fictional account based on Civil War history \u2013 it would have made for a good novel. But it sure makes for a bad history book.\nAmerica's Civil War, Book Reviews, Civil War Times, Historical Figures, Military History",

        "raw_content": "Union panic The Federal disaster at Ball\u2019s Bluff helped trigger political investigations of military actions.\nInsight: Capitol Commanders\nFEBRUARY 2018 \u2022 CIVIL WAR TIMES MAGAZINE\nA Congressional committee kept a close eye on Union generals\nReport of the Joint Committee on the Conduct of the War ranks among the indispensable sources on the Union war effort. Published in eight volumes between 1863 and 1866 and reprinted and indexed by Broadfoot Publishing in 1998, this set consists of more than 5,000 pages of testimony and other documents relating to military campaigns as well as to such topics as alleged misconduct in the area of supply. Virtually every senior Union general gave testimony before the committee, addressing Gettysburg and Antietam, the campaigns in Tennessee and along Louisiana\u2019s Red River, First and Second Bull Run, Ball\u2019s Bluff, and many other operations. Witnesses appearing before the committee often sought to justify their own actions or to damage the reputations of others. Their testimony consequently reveals a good deal about factions within the Union high command, but it also contains a vast amount of useful detail about the planning, execution, and contemporary analysis of Union military affairs.\nThe Joint Committee on the Conduct of the War (JCCW) emerged out of the intensely fractious political atmosphere of late 1861. Ignominious defeat at First Bull Run on July 21 and the galling debacle at Ball\u2019s Bluff on October 21 shook loyal citizens. The removal of John Charles Fr\u00e9mont from command in Missouri, where he had tried to strike at slavery and slaveholders, alienated Radical Republicans and abolitionists. Perhaps most important, George B. McClellan\u2019s failure to mount an offensive during the late summer and autumn prompted some congressional Republicans to question the ability and even the allegiance of many Democratic generals. The death at Ball\u2019s Bluff of Colonel Edward D. Baker, a Republican senator from Oregon and close friend of Abraham Lincoln, prompted a group of politicians to train an accusatory spotlight on Brig. Gen. Charles P. Stone, and he became a scapegoat for Baker\u2019s lack of military ability at Ball\u2019s Bluff and for Republicans unhappy with the war\u2019s progress.\nThe committee inspired heated reactions from supporters and critics\nA group of Republican senators and congressmen feared that professional soldiers of McClellan\u2019s and Stone\u2019s stripe would not wage hard war against the Rebels. Especially unhappy were Radical Republicans who hoped the conflict would kill slavery as well as restore the Union. On December 5, Senator Zachariah Chandler of Michigan called for creation of a joint congressional committee to examine events at First Bull Run and Ball\u2019s Bluff. Established on December 10, the seven-man committee consisted of senators Chandler, Benjamin F. Wade of Ohio, and Andrew Johnson of Tennessee, together with congressmen George W. Julian of Indiana, John Covode of Pennsylvania, Daniel W. Gooch of Massachusetts, and Moses Fowler Odell of New York. All were Republicans except Johnson and Odell, and Wade (the chairman), Chandler, Julian, Gooch, and Covode were Radicals. Although composition of the committee changed as the war progressed, Radicals remained a powerful force in its activities.\nMembers of the committee considered it part of their role to provide congressional oversight of the Lincoln administration\u2019s military policies. They consistently called for offensive campaigns and demanded the removal of George B. McClellan; several also sought to drive George G. Meade from command of the Army of the Potomac, attacked other commanders deemed too timid or too Democratic, and championed officers such as Joseph Hooker and John Pope whose politics they found more congenial.\nCommittee Target: Major General George B. McClellan believed that the JCCW led to his removal from command. (Library of Congress)\nLincoln struggled to forge policy amid cacophonous demands put forward by constituencies extending from the Radicals on one end of the spectrum to conservative Democrats on the other. As early as the fall of 1861, before the committee was formed, Lincoln\u2019s secretary John Hay noted in his diary that Chandler, Wade, and others in the \u201cJacobin club,\u201d as Hay called the Radical Republicans, had been criticizing McClellan\u2019s lack of action and trying to \u201cworry the administration into a battle.\u201d In their postwar history of the Lincoln administration, Hay and John G. Nicolay described the committee as \u201coften hasty and unjust in its judgements, but always earnest, patriotic, and honest.\u201d\nThe committee inspired heated reactions from supporters and critics. Democratic officers called to testify typically expressed a mixture of anger and concern. On February 28, 1863, for example, McClellan, removed from command of the Army of the Potomac the preceding November, described a difficult day to his wife. \u201cI have just got back from that confounded Committee & have to appear before them again on Monday morning,\u201d he wrote. \u201cI have been under their hands for several hours & you may imagine that my brain is rather tired out.\u201d Just more than a year later, Meade confided to his wife that he detected \u201cnothing less than a conspiracy\u201d to remove him from command of the army.\nUnlike McClellan, Meade retained his military position but nevertheless nursed a grudge against the politicians he saw as partisan tormentors. Democrats in general came to characterize the committee as a biased body that hounded honest officers and tried to transform a war to restore the old Union into a crusade to kill slavery.\nOn the Republican side, Radicals believed the JCCW served a necessary purpose to make the United States move quickly and apply its full resources against the Confederacy. Many moderate Republicans, in contrast, viewed the Committee\u2019s actions with mixed feelings.\nStudents of the Civil War should be thankful for the JCCW\u2019s Report. Here is much of the story of how the North struggled to define its objectives, find its leaders, and construct a winning strategy. Debates over the fate of slaves who made their way to Union lines, whether to add emancipation to the nation\u2019s war aims, and how harshly to treat rebel civilians and their property all figure prominently in the Report. Indeed, a full understanding of the political and military history of the Army of the Potomac is impossible without reference to the Committee\u2019s evidentiary record, as is a proper appreciation of the degree to which George B. McClellan dominated much of the early-war period.\nIt is no exaggeration to state that few published sources so clearly illuminate the often chaotic process by which the United States struggled to manage an event of cataclysmic proportions. \u272f\nAndrew Johnson, Army of the Potomac, Ball\u2019s Bluff, Battle of Antietam, Battle of Gettysburg, Benjamin F.

        "raw_content": "You are here: Home / Hockey Psychology Articles / Playing Hockey with Intensity and Urgency\nStrategies for Playing with a Sense of Urgency\nYou\u2019ll notice a big difference between playing with a bit of desperation and being desperate.\nPlaying with a bit of desperation is playing with a sense of urgency.\nPlaying with a sense of urgency is trying to make things happen in the moment while maintaining control.\nPlaying with a sense of urgency is a positive mindset that helps you stay focused and aggressive on the ice.\nOn the other hand, being desperate is a negative mindset\u2026\nBeing desperate is playing out of control, forcing passes, taking bad shots or playing back on your heels.\nDesperation equates to the fear of losing or a focus on future outcomes.\nComebacks are fueled by playing with a sense of urgency and are a characteristic of resilient teams.\nThe New York Islanders had one such comeback against the Philadelphia Flyers. The Islanders were down two goals after two periods.\nThe Islanders hit the ice with that sense of urgency, the one ingredient that makes comebacks possible. New York played under control, looked for opportunities to score and mounted a comeback to wrap up a 5-4 overtime victory.\nThe victory was the Islanders\u2019 second overtime victory in three days.\nIn the locker room, Islanders defense-man, Nick Leddy, talked about how the team kept believing and focused on playing with the necessary urgency to turn the tide.\nLEDDY: \u201cYou just put it behind you [trailing in a game]. You can\u2019t do anything about it. Just focus on the present. It shows our determination. We\u2019ve got a very good team in here.\u201d\nConversely, the Flyers, who have only won three of the last 15 games, look like a team desperate for a win.\nFlyers captain Claude Giroux, expressed obvious frustration after the team\u2019s fourth overtime loss of the season.\nGIROUX: \u201cWe have to find a way to get the win. We played a good game, we just couldn\u2019t finish. We have to find a way to get confidence, especially in the third (period)\u2026 We\u2019re all frustrated right now. You play a good game and you can\u2019t find a way to end it.\u201d\nSeveral factors separate playing with a sense of urgency from being desperate.\nYou must have the confidence that you can come back when trailing in a game.\nYou need to trust your abilities, hockey skills and the all the hours you spent on the ice practicing these very game situations.\nYou need to be focused in the moment. It doesn\u2019t matter how the opposing team scored. Focus on what you can do each shift to make plays.\nYou must be patient. Instead of pressing and playing frantically, play within yourself and look for your opportunities.\nHow your approach trailing in a game, the mindset you adopt, is the biggest factor as to whether you fight your way back in the game.\nTip for Playing with a Sense of Urgency:\nRemind yourself of the 4 \u2018P\u2019s:\nPositive \u2013 Stay positive\nProcess \u2013 Focus on what you should do rather than what has happened\nPatience \u2013 Don\u2019t press, but instead look for your opportunities\nPush \u2013 Push the pace with a controlled aggressiveness\nLearn how to focus in the moment with The Focused Athlete\u2026",

It was the efforts of the police through the directives of the Inspector General of Police that led to their release,\u201d he said.\nOne suspect was arrested in connection with the kidnapping and police were on the trail of remaining suspects, Abeh said.\nThe foreigners have been taken to the capital, Abuja, Kaduna state police spokesman Mukhtar Aliyu said.\n\u201cThey are in good condition but due to trauma they have to undergo medical observation.\u201d Aliyu said.\nGunmen ambushed the foreigners Tuesday as they travelled from Kafanchan in Kaduna state to Abuja. Two police escorts were killed in what police called a \u201cfierce gun battle.\u201d\nThe Americans and Canadians have not been publicly identified. Aliyu earlier said they are investors setting up solar stations in villages around Kafanchan.\nElizabeth Reid, a spokeswoman for Global Affairs Canada, said Canadian officials worked closely on the ground with the Nigerian government.\nShe said in an email that they have \u201cbeen in regular contact with the Canadian families and the employer to provide assistance and support.\u201d\nKidnapping for ransom is common in Nigeria, especially on the Kaduna to Abuja highway.

        "title": "The Vaccine Debate: Where is the Empathy?- Hormones Matter",
        "raw_content": "The Vaccine Debate: Where is the Empathy?\nAuthor: Sarah E. Flynn, PhD 7 Comments Share:\nOf Peanut Allergies and Petulance\nA few weeks ago, a fellow social media acquaintance posted an article about peanut allergies in children. The article argued that no peanut butter sandwich is as important as a child\u2019s life, so she urged her fellow moms not to bring peanut items to school if a classmate had a known peanut allergy. I read it: it was heartfelt and very sensible. I am of the opinion that my daughter can certainly live without peanut butter sandwiches at school. Her school is nut free, and never once has it inconvenienced me in the slightest. When I found out about the nut-free rule, my first thought was \u201cWow. I\u2019m so glad that I do not have to worry about my daughter encountering such a dangerous allergy situation all the time\u2013that must be really hard for those parents.\u201d Apparently, that\u2019s not such a common response. Read any of these articles on moms talking about peanut allergies and you will find comments from parents reacting in ways that range from annoyed to down-right cruel. Parents protesting that \u201cKids should learn to navigate their allergies in the real world\u201d and \u201cMy child won\u2019t eat anything else!\u201d This poor mother is sitting there having to worry about one sticky peanut butter finger touching a door knob and her small child dying in a matter of minutes from anaphylaxis after touching that door knob. Think about that for a second: HAVING TO WORRY THAT YOUR CHILD WILL DIE EVERY SINGLE DAY AT SCHOOL FROM PEANUT BUTTER. Thinking about that is enough to make my heart bust open with torturous sadness for that parent. The lack of empathy in those responses was astounding. In some cases, down right sociopathic.\nYou may be on board with the peanut butter argument, agreeing that we should have empathy for children with peanut allergies. Those kids didn\u2019t choose their allergies, and their parents have to worry that their children will die from a product that is nearly ubiquitous in our existence. You may be one of the parents that gets that, and that\u2019s great. But the conversation took an even darker turn, and that is what I want to really talk about in this article. One respondent wrote something to the effect of, \u201cWhy do we just have to worry about peanut butter sandwiches when there are stupid, irresponsible parents who let their child come to school unvaccinated and put our children at risk of death every day.\u201d If you\u2019ve read this article, you can imagine that struck a nerve with me. Although I feel like my response to that comment was both warranted and respectful, it never does any good but open Pandora\u2019s Box, leaving me tired, discouraged, helpless and hopeless. WHY? Lack of empathy.\nVaccine Vitriol: A Pattern of Predictable Disdain\nThere\u2019s a group of people in our society that is marginalized beyond belief in the most cruel and unusual ways: vaccine injured children and their families. Now before you stop reading, thinking I am some crazy \u201canti-vaxxer\u201d about to do some \u201cpro-vaxxer\u201d bashing, please know that is not going to happen here. In fact, I am attempting to do exactly the opposite. The vaccine argument is one of the most contentious and heated debates I\u2019ve ever seen. I\u2019d be willing to go out on a limb and say it is worse than probably any other political issue to date: even more so than gun control or immigration.\nIn any vaccine discussion, it is common for phrases like \u201cyou should have your kids taken away and go to jail\u201d and \u201cyou\u2019re an idiot who believes in pseudoscience\u201d to fly around the conversation. To be honest, there\u2019s a lot of self-righteousness and indignation sometimes on both sides of the issue. So what is going on here? Why can\u2019t we have a civil conversation about vaccines, like, EVER?\nWell, I\u2019m a psychologist, so all the obvious answers (to me) ran through my head: cognitive dissonance, belief perseverance, etc. Yes, it\u2019s well documented in psychological science that people cling tight to their beliefs even in the face of overwhelming contradictory evidence, but these things don\u2019t really account for why people can be so darn MEAN to each other in the process. Then (as I usually do), I started ruminating on how, at some level, every single thing that human beings do is explained by consciousness. Human beings are a product of their minds, and our minds are set up to run in very predictable ways. Human brains are pattern seekers; they constantly put things into groups or categories. Every piece of stimulus information we encounter (what we see, hear, touch, feel, taste), is organized in the brain in a way that helps us put things into logical order.\nInformation is stored in our long term memory in something called a semantic network, where similar pieces of information remain connected together in our brains. We create schemas, which are \u201ctemplates\u201d for objects and situations that become stored in our memory. These things help us predict and anticipate things we will encounter in the future. In other words, these processes help us navigate a world filled with overwhelming amounts of stimulus information. Usually, this works pretty well for getting around this complex world, except that life is not black and white, and dealing with the gray areas require much more effortful processing.\nWhat does this have to do with meanness and lack of empathy? If our minds are naturally inclined to place things into groups, then that\u2019s part of the reason that it\u2019s so easy to cling to dualistic thought: right vs. wrong, bad vs. good, in-group vs. out-group, winner vs. loser. Not only are our brains pattern seekers, but we\u2019re also social animals that seek out similar others. Both of these things help create a large \u201cus\u201d vs. \u201cthem\u201d dynamic. Psychological science has also shown that we tend to have more empathy for those who are similar to us than dissimilar. In other words, when \u201cus\u201d encounters \u201cthem\u201d, our brains are more inhibited from producing empathetic responses. Moreover, the anger that arises from our values being challenged activates our amygdala (our brain\u2019s alarm system) which competes against our pre-frontal cortex (involved in self-control and rational thought). Combine all of that with the deindividuation (loss of self-awareness in a group) of the social media environment, and you\u2019ve got a recipe for cruelty and indignation.\nBeyond Us Versus Them in the Vaccine Debate: Empathy First\nHow can we unravel these barriers when it comes to the vaccine argument? One word (here it is again): Empathy. No, it\u2019s not the dominant response in this situation, but research has also shown that we can call upon our executive functions like self-control and exert them upon will. It\u2019s tough, and it depletes us when we do it, but it can be done. We need to approach these conversations by first trying to willfully control our immediate anger that results from confronting information that challenges our beliefs. Yes, that challenge is uncomfortable, but by taking a few minutes to let your mid-brain calm down and execute willful self-control, you\u2019ll be better prepared to try to understand the other side of the argument.\nOne very smart commenter in that social media conversation, who was actually the first person to acknowledge that maybe I wasn\u2019t crazy after all for speaking out against vaccinations, suggested that instead of eliciting anger and defensiveness, attempting to induce empathy with rational thought might be a better strategy. She suggested asking yourself, \u201cWhy would someone choose not to vaccinate their child?\u201d or \u201cWhy would someone want to force everyone to vaccinate when they know some children have been injured by vaccines?\u201d If you\u2019ve really been able to put your anger aside (at least temporarily) then you\u2019ll realize the answer to both questions is exactly the same: They want healthy children. Suddenly, it\u2019s not \u201cus\u201d versus \u201cthem\u201d anymore, it\u2019s just \u201cus\u201d. We all want the same thing, we just have vastly different feelings about how to accomplish it.\nThis person also made a point that was the driving reason behind writing this article. She said something about how being \u201cright\u201d isn\u2019t a strategy if you want to change the hearts of people that disagree with you. I\u2019ll admit, that\u2019s all I have ever been trying to do: be right. The need to be right comes from a real and raw place deep down in my heart. I watched my daughter fight a chronic auto-inflammatory disease that was triggered by vaccinations. I held her while she suffered. I fought for her when doctors couldn\u2019t figure it out. I\u2019m the one who read hundreds of scientific articles, pored over her lab results, tracked every symptom, found the patterns, and put the puzzle pieces together. I demanded the referrals, I found her cure, and she\u2019s currently in remission\u2013not because of what her doctors knew but because of what I KNEW. When you experience something like that, it\u2019s really hard to hold on to the age-old notion that \u201cdoctors know best.\u201d\nWhen the vaccine debate emerges and I tell people our story, at best I will get \u201cI\u2019m sorry for what happened to your daughter, but that is rare\u201d and at worst, \u201cI highly doubt your daughter\u2019s condition was triggered by vaccines, vaccines are a scapegoat for the onset of many genetic conditions\u201d. Neither of those responses is empathetic. I consider myself lucky that my daughter is in remission, but my heart breaks knowing that there are parents out there whose children are severely disabled or have died as a result of vaccines, and those are the responses they get from others.\nOn the other hand, I need to take a moment and practice what I\u2019m preaching here. I need to show some empathy those folks who so valiantly defend vaccines, and I\u2019m going to ask my vaccine-questioning friends to try and do the same. I understand why people defend vaccines. I really do. I understand the fear of a tiny little baby contracting a horrible disease that could end in their death and being angry thinking that some kid who could have been protected from that disease could be the culprit that led to your child\u2019s death. That is absolutely terrifying and a real phenomenon that has happened in this world. I mean, all you have to do is go to the mall and see that people are coughing and sneezing, EVERYWHERE. The risk is real. I understand because I, too, share that fear. I have been exposed to information that has lessened that fear to some degree, but I still have it. I understand that the rational and logical thing to do is adopt the mainstream position of highly respected doctors, scientists and health organizations who have had intense training in science and medicine. I can understand how ridiculous it sounds to think that all of these experts are somehow wrong or involved in some kind of grand conspiracy to cover up the idea that vaccines are highly dangerous or ineffective. In fact, I\u2019m willing to say that this position is the logical position. I\u2019m not going to tell anyone that believes this that they are wrong. I\u2019m going to tell them that I understand. I not only understand, but I want to have faith in doctors and research and the CDC, too.\nSome Things You Cannot Un-Know: The Corruption Runs High, But Not Necessarily Deep\nNow, my vaccine defenders, it\u2019s your turn. There is only one thing that has separated your position from my own: life experience. I cannot have faith in these doctors and organizations because they have failed me and they failed my daughter in very real, life-changing ways. When you or your child has been injured by something that you were told was safe, you can\u2019t just shrug your shoulders and say, \u201cWell I guess everything has risks and my child was one of the rare ones.\u201d Nope. You say \u201cHow could this have possibly happened?\u201d You start digging. You quickly find out there are thousands of research articles that contradict the mainstream opinion, even entire textbooks. You find out that there are thousands of doctors and scientists shouting from the rooftops about how the risk of what happened to your child is not uncommon. You find out that there has been so much corruption and cover-up in organizations like the FDA and CDC that congressmen are shouting on the congressional floor for our government to do something about it\u2014but nothing ever gets done. You find out that pharmaceutical companies have all the money and the power and that they own the media and that\u2019s why these dissenting scientists aren\u2019t featured on the news. You find out the pharmaceutical companies also fund the research, pay the editors of the journals, pay doctors money to speak about their products, and even influence the head of the FDA.\nSuddenly the once illogical argument that the mainstream is wrong is not so illogical after all. It\u2019s not a grand conspiracy, it\u2019s the influence of money and greed forcing the direction of science and medical opinion at the very top of the chain, and all those underneath that aren\u2019t being funded simply go along with the \u201crespected\u201d opinion of those at the top. For those underneath who have discovered the truth, they have figured out that publicizing dissenting opinions runs the risk of destroying both their careers and reputation. The safe choice is to continue with the status quo. That\u2019s how it happens. That\u2019s how thousands of children and adults can be injured by pharmaceuticals, and the rest of us stand back and let it happen. Once you know this information, you can\u2019t un-know it. It changes you.\nGo Beyond the Feedback Loops: Walk in Another\u2019s Shoes\nIn many ways experiences hand us our reality, but in many ways we also create it. The things we Google appear on our Facebook feed; the things we like on Facebook are tracked and used to send us similar material. It\u2019s easy to see how once we adopt a position it\u2019s constantly being reinforced by more and more exposure to the same information. It\u2019s unlikely that we ever truly expose ourselves to the other side of any argument\u2014but that may be the key in fostering the empathy we need to drive the change we seek in the vaccine debate. Psychological science has demonstrated the social influence of reciprocity, where one concession leads to the concession of the other side. This is a powerful psychological phenomenon. So, I\u2019m conceding. Instead of begging vaccine-defenders to listen to us and focusing on trying to be right, let\u2019s for one second, focus on their position. Put yourself in their shoes.

D. says:\nAnd to research about peanut oil being used as an adjuvant in vaccines and also in antibiotics, beginning in the 1950\u2019s..(therefore the potential cause of peanut allergies)\u2026..really helps tie this piece together in an ironic way\u2026Thanks for being a calm voice in the storm. Like you, all I want is for kids to be healthier, and if some constantly deny the possibility that vaccines could be responsible for their or their child\u2019s symptoms, than one misses a chance to detox and experience healing.\nI don\u2019t think the vaccination issue is about empathy or a lack thereof. I understand your thesis here and the response from Julie above; however, science shows unquestionably that vaccinations prevent deadly diseases. Ninety-seven percent of scientists polled worldwide believe in global warming. Ninety-six percent believe that vaccines we now have and those to come can and do prevent worldwide pandemics. It\u2019s hard to empathize with those who believe the four percent who don\u2019t must be right and are not employed by Big Pharma (while the other 96 percent are), it\u2019s a vast governmental conspiracy with doctors and the pharmaceutical companies and science is just, well, WRONG. I\u2019m not unsympathetic to those those children suffer from Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or other similar disorders, but a lack of empathy goes both ways, and we are talking about their unvaccinated children potentially spreading diseases to perfectly healthy children who could die from them, simply because of largely unfounded fears based on junk science and the rantings of celebrity parents whose kids have ASD. I don\u2019t think there is any mutual ground here. We are talking about the lives of potentially thousands of children here should there be an epidemic. Until they\u2019re old enough to obtain vaccinations, they are vulnerable.\nMy son had a bad reaction to his second DPT shot in 1986. His temperature shot up to 105.5 degrees within 12 hours and it was climbing rapidly. Thanks to a fabulous pediatrician and her immediate response to bring him to the hospital (she took him out of my arms outside in the car and literally flew with him back to a prepared room to get his fever down within 15 minutes), he was fine. She left out the third pertussis dosage out of the next \u201cDPT\u201d shot since it is the pertussis that causes the reaction in children, and his having two shots would give him nearly the same amount of immunity. The rate of reaction to the pertussis shot in infants is 1 in 1600 in children under six months of age. He, his father and I all had booster DPT shots three years ago, because there were two counties in the metro Atlanta area where we now live that were forced to close their schools for nearly three weeks due to a serious outbreak of pertussis. Since the efficacy of the vaccination is only 10-20 years, all adults other than those medically unable to receive the booster vaccinations should get one.\nNow, that 1 in 1600 chance may sound high, but in reality, it\u2019s very rare. I could have overreacted and never have given him another vaccination. But I did a lot of reading and held a frank conversation with my pediatrician over several months concerning the dangers of the diseases he could contract without being vaccinated, and decided that it was not worth risking his life to expose him to diseases that we KNOW kill young children and immunocompromised individuals. Thousands of years of history has well documented the fact that millions of people died from diseases like smallpox, measles, diphtheria, and polio. Operating on the assumption that that most people will vaccinate their children so if your unvaccinated child does get the disease and is contagious at school or daycare, it\u2019s less likely that any member of the larger vaccinated group will get the disease than it is your child will get a life altering or life threatening disorder from the vaccination is not showing empathy for the plight of others. It\u2019s herd mentality and worrying about your own child more than the welfare of other children, based largely on unproven science (or worse still \u201cscience\u201d that was based on proven fraud), or believing that your child has ASD because he or she received a series of vaccinations starting at 18 months.\nIt is difficult to empathize with people who, because they feel \u201cin their gut\u201d that a vaccination was responsible for their child\u2019s ASD or other disability, when science shows the risk is so rare that it is not even remotely statistically significant. They see articles written by parents who feel guilty about what happened to their child (they could have prevented it if they had just not allowed their child to get that shot), that they are convinced that it\u2019s better to take a risk with others\u2019 children who could potentially get a completely preventable disease without even asking (or even informing) those parents whose children are at risk if they might have a problem with that. Where is their empathy for a child who could contract measles from their unvaccinated children and who could potentially die from it? Yes, I know that many people born before 1957 contracted measles and many had immune systems which allowed them to recover. My parents got them and got well, so did my husband and his siblings. But so many others did not. My great-grandmother lost three of her thirteen children to measles (2) and diphtheria before they reached the age of two. Take a walk through an old cemetery and see how many little graves with lambs and angels on their headstones with heart wrenching verses carved on them show that they died within a year or two of birth. Most of these children died from completely preventable diseases that there were no vaccinations for prior to the late 1950\u2019s.\nYour right to decide whether or not to vaccinate your child stops where that decision could potentially affect the rights and lives of others not yet vaccinated or who are immunocompromised. Those individuals have just as much right to live disease free as your child does not to have a shot to prevent disease. This isn\u2019t about empathy for another viewpoint. It\u2019s similar to having empathy and trying to understand people who promote unvarnished racism and point to unfounded articles that show, in their minds, beyond a doubt that black men and women are intellectually inferior to whites (check any white supremacist website for these \u201cstudies;\u201d there are dozens of them). I understand the fear, because my child had a reaction to a pertussis vaccination and was fortunate that he suffered no ill effects from the experience; however, I think that a good deal of that fear is unfounded and largely fueled by false science and conspiracy theories that make the ones still swirling about the assassination of President Kennedy 53 years ago look mild by comparison. The Internet is a wonderful thing in many cases, but it, in conjunction with social media (which, in combination with a populace which bases opinions on soundbites and not real research) is the basis of nearly one hundred percent of the disinformation in the world), is fueling the fears of a lot of parents who are willing to compromise the health of others who have no choice because they either aren\u2019t old enough to receive the vaccinations or have other health issues.\nI\u2019ve had the shoe on both feet with this issue. My son was fortunate. He is 30 years old today, has a great career, is responsible and loving life. He also has ADHD and still is dealing with it and has been since he was six years old. But do I think he has the disorder because of the vaccine he had a reaction to? Absolutely not. He could have it for any number of reasons; doctors and psychiatrists know what the disorder is, the physical neurological reasons for it and the problems it causes, but they do not know where the disorder originates. I will not spend my life second guessing if I had just not had him vaccinated, he\u2019d be free from the trials of ADHD. At some point, we have to trust scientists and stop believing the internet and social media keyboard jockeys who are telling us to be afraid of everything, causing people to feed off of mistrust and paranoia, and telling us that we\u2019re all going to die from modern medicine.\nUnfortunately, it seems like you have missed the entire point of this article, as I have addressed every single one of your points therein. Not only have I acknowledged your points within the article and made it a point to say that I do understand them\u2013I even agreed that it\u2019s the more \u201clogical\u201d position. Your concerns are not invalid. However, refusal to acknowledge vaccine injury and our personal stories as valid and commonplace drives the point of the article home that empathy in this situation tends to be unachievable by many.\nThank you for this thorough explanation. The lack of empathy surrounding the vaccine discussion has been on my heart as well. Very well said demonstrating empathy for both sides and that the common ground is both sides want health. Since there is no genuine discussion amongst leaders to solve this problem, the black and white extremes exist. But the reason we are in this situation is because there have not been options, like individual shots, rather than combination vaccines, or trying to make a better alternative for those who have significant concerns about numerous ingredients in the vaccines. The goal seems to be a one size fits all though nothing else that goes into our body is a one size fits all. Mutual solutions would be a good discussion rather than forcing the one size fits all protocol.\nThought provoking and inspiring words Dr. Flynn\nIt costs to speak the truth in a world were justice is for sale and so few ever pay the piper.\nThere are the ignorant masses whose hearts might be reached if they can imagine them as us.\nAnd there is the power-abusing money-making, propaganda machine destroying the lives of anyone who speaks up. Despite the odd whistle-blower with a conscience, this is NOT the aforementioned group of frightened parents misguidedly protecting their children\u2019s health.\nIf awareness is the opposite of evil and they KNOW what they are doing and do it anyway, the question becomes, what is the cure for the disease of evil?\nThe road is littered with lives that mean nothing to evil entities who we know, already factored the death toll as the cost of doing business. There is a fundamental difference between ignorance and evil.\nIt WILL take everything we are to overcome not only our personal tragedies, to forge a meeting of hearts and minds with the mainstream masses and a whole different set of skills to address the crimes against humanity in courts of law; all of which must be done simultaneously, whole heatedly and immediately. If we fail to meet these challenges we risk losing everything. That\u2019s how important it is. Unless and until everyone matters, nothing but money will ever matter.\nDennis Picknett says:\nGreat piece Sarah. I think you\u2019re very right when you note that the parents pitched against eachother are really on the same side. All any parent wants is a happy healthy child. Bit I can\u2019t help but suspect that it is rather convenient for the vax makers for the parent vs. parent in-fighting to distract energy from attacks on them. And I agree about the exercise in taking a moment to argue from the other side. I think I saw this done in the Brexit debate and people were better able to grasp the big picture by taking the opposite stance for a while. I also saw recently a documetary by Adam Curtis called A Century of The Self (in 4 parts on youtube). It explored the ideas of Freud about our deep animalistic irrational drives which we try to overlay with a veneer of rationalism and civility. Groups who bond closely with a charismatic leader have a sort of orgiastic libidinous feeling which when presented with another rival or contrary tribe unleashes a flood of animalistic hate towards them. All very complex and worthy of a Phd thesis or two. Wish I had the time!\nThank you. I needed this today. Yesterday marked the 16th anniversary of my daughter\u2019s near fatal vaccine reaction and I\u2019m swimming in a sea of PTSD right now.",

        "raw_content": "Today, February 17th, I'm going to be bold and make a prediction. Of course, there will always be the chance I'm wrong but I have this new feeling in my gut: John McCain will be the next president of the United States.\nAbout sixteen months ago I called it for Obama. While the polls were crying out for Hillary, I thought Barak would still be able to pull it off by now and take it home. I've been saying for months now that if Obama could simply win the nomination he'd be the next President, but I'm sensing something different now. Two reasons:\nFirst, McCain as the Republican nomination changes things. While conservatives don't like him, they'll tolerate him. Moderates will gravitate to him as well. Despite a certain awkwardness he possesses, people respect his national service and experience. I'm not sure if his being from the western United States [Arizona] will help in November, but it certainly won't hurt. If the Republicans had picked any other candidate, they would have lost this election. McCain was the only guy they had that could help keep the White House and they picked him.\nBut the major reason I'm now predicting a McCain presidency is that the Democrats are eating each other alive and there will not be enough time to reconcile the party. I've seen dirty politics before, but nothing like the scale we're witnessing between Hillary and Obama. Their supporters are beginning to truly hate each other. And it doesn't help that the topics of race and gender are inescapable [ironically for the party supposed to lead the fight for those issues of equality] and nothing good can come from them. Neither candidate is going to give up before the convention. Obama will enter ahead in the delegate count and Hillary will press for the Michigan and Florida delegations to be seated to push her over the top. Friends, it's not even begun to be brutal. The convention will be a melee. After the convention the party will be divided, many will be apathetic, and McCain will benefit.\nAnd McCain will be president.\nAgain, if the Republicans had nominated anyone else, the Dems would've been fine. And if Obama had been able to secure the nomination before Super Tuesday he could've made a push. But I'm no longer convinced that Obama will be able to muster the campaign he needs to win in the fall if he gets the nomination. As it is, there is still plenty of racism and ignorance out there in middle American [I forgot this but have been reminded by the numerous people trying to convince me that Barak is a Muslim]. Obama has a huge uphill fight, even if he wins the nomination. I just can't see him proving his case in such a short amount of time.\nAnd Hillary is polarizing in her own party, let alone on a national level. I can't believe the Democratic party, after being handed the keys by George W., are going to lose the White House. It's amazing.\nSo sorry about changing my prediction, but unforseen circumstances drove me there.\nI should reiterate, as I did recently in response to someone's question about my political leanings, that I really have no horse in this race. I will, most likely, vote third party again this year as neither party best expresses my beliefs. That said, all of this is still extremely fascinating and I'm somewhat addicted. I'm reminded of the Seinfeld quote about Kramer, \"He is a loathesome, offensive brute, and yet I cannot look away.\"\nNewer PostGiving It Time\nOlder PostIf You Love College Basketball . . .",

But it is believed Everton are willing to complete a \u20ac15m deal with Anderlecht and then loan him back to Hein Vanhaezebrouck's side until the end of the season.\nToffees manager Sam Allardyce has spoken of the need to trim his currently overloaded squad at Goodison Park before the close of the transfer window, so a deal which would see Dendoncker arrive on Merseyside in the summer rather than this month seemingly suits all parties, given that Anderlecht are still hoping to catch Club Brugge at the top of the Belgian First Division.\nEverton are no strangers to the Belgian market, having recently picked up one of the hottest properties the league has to offer in the form of Henry Onyekuru. The young Nigerian forward, who is currently recovering from a severe knee ligament injury sustained a couple of months ago, scored 21 times for KAS Eupen last season before rejecting around 50 clubs in order to complete a summer switch to Everton, who immediately loaned him out to Anderlecht.\nOnyekuru managed to score 10 goals in 27 matches in all competitions for Anderlecht before sustaining the knee injury, and his spell at the Constant Vanden Stock may help Everton during prospective negotiations for Dendoncker, who will almost certainly his side's clash away at Standard Liege on Sunday.\nDendoncker has been tipped to leave Anderlecht for some time Getty Images\nWest Ham United must offer a 'huge amount of money' for Anderlecht star Leander Dendoncker\nInter Milan midfielder Joao Mario set to join West Ham United, Moyes confirms medical\nEverton send scouts to run the rule over Real Betis midfielder Fabian Ruiz\nRelated topics : Premier League Everton FC West Ham United FC",

        "raw_content": "Beverley Knight MBE (born 22 March 1972), born Beverley Ann Smith, is a critically acclaimed British soul singer, songwriter and record producer who released her debut album in 1995. Heavily influenced by soul greats such as Sam Cooke and Aretha Franklin, Knight has released five studio albums and one compilation collection to date. Widely labelled as one of Britain's greatest soul singers, Knight is best known for her hit singles \"Greatest Day\", \"Shoulda Woulda Coulda\" and \"Come As You Are\" and \"Made It Back\". After a decade in the industry, she was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Urban Music Awards in 2004. In 2006 Knight starred in BBC1 music TV show, Just The Two Of Us, and is the host of the Radio 2 show Beverley's Gospel Nights, which explores the origins and impact of gospel music. Now in its second season, the show has featured interviews with stars such as Destiny's Child and Shirley Caesar. Knight is an ambassador for many charities such Christian Aid and has travelled to areas affected by disease and poverty to help raise awareness. She is an active campaigner for anti-Aids organisations such as the Stop AIDS Campaign and The Terrence Higgins Trust and is also a vocal campaigner against homophobic lyrics in urban music. She became an MBE in 2006, the only musician to be granted such an honour in the Queen's eightieth birthday honours list. In February 2006 Knight consolidated her move into the mainstream audience by appearing on BBC1 music show, Just The Two of Us. The show, featuring celebrities who duet with established singers, ran for two weeks and proved to be a relative disappointment in terms of audience figures - averaging between fifteen and twenty-five percent audience shares.[17] Nevertheless it provided a platform for Knight to reach out to a bigger audience and demonstrate her talent by performing a different array of songs than she would otherwise be known for. Reaching out to new audiences was also a driving force behind Knight's decision to join Take That on their reunion arena tour. Take That - The Ultimate Tour 06, which ran from April to July 2006, sold 270,000 tickets in less than four hours on sale at the box office and featured Knight as a support act. In March 2006 Beverley released her fifth album, a compilation set featuring the majority of her top forty UK singles entitled Voice - The Best Of Beverley Knight. The album, which was certified Gold less than a month after its release,[19] became her second highest charting of her career when it entered the UK albums chart at number ten and rose to number nine a month later. It was preceded by the single \"Piece of my Heart\" - a cover of the Erma Franklin classic made famous by Janis Joplin and entered the singles chart at number sixteen, spending eleven weeks inside the UK top 75 singles chart and becoming her longest-running chart single to date. In October 2006, Knight recorded her fifth studio album, Music City Soul, in Nashville. Completed in less than five days, the album was released on 7 May 2007 and features collaborations with musicians such as Ronnie Wood and Scotty Moore. It has spawned three singles thus far, \"No Man's Land\", released on 16 April 2007, \"After You\", released on 2 July 2007 and \"The Queen of Starting Over\", released on 15 October 2007. Beverley will be releasing her next album in spring 2009. Sites: YouTube",

As Radley Balko has written about in detail, St. Louis County is made up of almost 100 teeny little municipalities, each one of which has its own municipal code, police force, and court. \u201cTeeny\u201d may not be scientific, but it\u2019s accurate. Edmundson\u2019s slogan is \u201cFront Door to St. Louis Lambert International Airport,\u201d and that slogan is almost as bad as the location but my point is that Edmundson is actually much smaller than the airport.\nOkay, maybe that\u2019s not fair\u2014airports are big. How about, Edmundson is not much bigger than the terminal?\nAnd yet it has its own city government, law code, and law-enforcement system. Any town of 834 is going to have difficulty paying for that with a sales tax alone. The solution, as the letter shows, is to prey on the citizens. According to this report, Edmundson gets almost 35 percent of its revenue from court fines and fees, and that is not uncommon in the area. But with so few people in these towns, they have to get creative and aggressive. Of course some of the revenue is extorted from travelers, but residents suffer the most from being targeted and written up over and over again, and then punished for being unable to pay. (The report says another nearby town has 1,300 residents and over 33,000 outstanding warrants.) And this is just scratching the surface of what these reports show. It is astounding.\nOf course, none of this is official policy, as the mayor\u2019s letter clearly states. He specifically says that he wants only \u201cgood tickets\u201d written. (He\u2019s probably one of those people who uses quote marks for emphasis.) And, in an entirely separate and unrelated matter, he takes the opportunity to remind officers of certain unfortunate fiscal realities that might impact their remuneration. He\u2019s not telling them what to do, you understand. He\u2019s just stating facts.

Militare is the legitimate heir to a long tradition of watchmaking aimed at submariners and combat divers of the Italian Marina Militare. The line comes with unique characteristics, such as a crown at 12 o'clock that is secured by the strap once it has been adjusted to your wrist, when the strap is above the crown. A major advantage is that the crown can't be opened inadvertently. The dial shows us the main differences, features white color and black second counter at 3 o' clock and minute counter at 9 o'clock . This watch features 'The 12/04/08 triangle', the time goes east to west, like the moon chasing after the sun, in addition, this triangle is like a capital A, the brand logo. This watch comes with a calfskin leather strap handmade in the Italian manufacture based in Piemonte.

        "title": "THE WPP STRONGMAN THE WPP STRONGMAN",
        "raw_content": "11 Feb, 2019 by Nawal Ahuja\nThe first week of February saw Mark Read, Chief Executive Officer of WPP, at the WPP Stream \u2018unconference\u2019 in Jaipur, India, interacting with the company\u2019s leadership and ranks, as well as top clients. India had always been a crucial market for his predecessor, Sir Martin Sorrell, and it is high on Read\u2019s priority list too. In fact, just before Read became CEO, WPP had announced increased investments in India. According to the announcement, among other things, GroupM would move to full ownership of the mobile marketing agency Madhouse, from its then 50% interest. WPP companies Sudler, Wunderman and Y&R, which operated as joint venture agencies with Rediffusion, would be developed as wholly-owned agencies, with WPP selling its stakes in the Rediffusion JVs.\nCurrently, all WPP companies in India are set to move into \u2018campuses\u2019 in Mumbai and New Delhi, in line with streamlining operations, even as Ogilvy veteran Piyush Pandey has made the country proud by being appointed Global CCO of the agency.\nSoon after his appointment as CEO, Read had set out to reposition WPP as a \u2018creative transformation company\u2019 and sought to simplify both its structure and offerings for the benefit of its clients. He then unveiled his \u2018radical evolution plan\u2019 in December, with more investments in creativity, technology and talent, to sharpen WPP\u2019s services and return the business to growth.\nHere are excerpts from a free-wheeling chat that Mark Read had with Nawal Ahuja, co-founder of the exchange4media Group, on WPP\u2019s growth, the mandate for India chief CVL Srinivas, what veteran adman Piyush Pandey\u2019s appointment as Global CCO, Ogilvy means, growing strong brands and nurturing talent within the company.\nQ] You recently appointed CVL Srinivas as operational head of WPP in India. What is he supposed to deliver for the company? And how will you make it happen, given that structurally you already have very strong leaders across agencies and various business units?\nIf you take a small step back, you know I want to have a strong WPP, and strong brands inside WPP, so strong WPP, and strong Ogilvy, and a strong GroupM. Maybe we need to have fewer brands like we did in the past, but we need to have strong brands inside WPP. Srini\u2019s job is to do in India what we are doing globally for WPP, and to work with me and the global leaders of those brands, and the local leaders of those brands in India, to strengthen them. There is a really valuable role that Srini can play. India is the seventh biggest market for WPP; this year India was the fifth biggest economy, and there is tremendous potential for us to grow. Srini\u2019s job is not to do what the leaders of the brands are doing, but really to help make WPP collectively, extremely successful in India. It\u2019s about making sure that we have the best leadership, that we work together for the benefit of our clients. Some of that requires someone closer to the ground. Having someone like Srini in the market will make a lot of these things easier to do. I have been talking to many of our bigger multinational clients, and they want us to coordinate activities in India and to resolve inevitable issues that may come up.\nQ] What are the granular aspects of Srini\u2019s role? Do you see any overlap as there already are strong leadership teams across units?\nI don\u2019t think so. His job is to help us find the best people, help us try and make sure they get the best service, help attract talent into WPP, help us look for acquisitions, help us make sure that, actually the people in the rest of WPP, outside of India, know what\u2019s going on. India has a really important role to play for us creatively; you know about Piyush\u2019s global role. From a technology perspective, the aim is to bring technology back at the heart of WPP; we have tremendous technology assets and Srini can help make those visible. It\u2019s a positive role that will help people be more successful.\nQ] At some stage, would you look at a structure where the WPP country head is also the operational head of all the units?\nNo, I don\u2019t want to go that far. I think both having a strong WPP and having strong grounds, strong cultures, is very important in this context. We said we want our culture to be open, optimistic and extraordinary. We focus on the word \u2018open\u2019, meaning we should partner with our clients, with our partners and with each other. So, if we have a culture of people working collaboratively, there is no conflict.\nQ] Roughly 20 years back, the creative and the media ecosystems split. A lot of people talk about these ecosystems getting back together. Clients want that. How do you see that shaping up, because it is not possible to go back to that era\u2026 and what is the best model for the future, in the best interest of a client?\nThe future is that creative and media need to work more closely together. But, that doesn\u2019t mean that they need to be merged or combined. They\u2019re all a part of WPP, and therefore, in a team we need people who are coming out with ideas, and the people that are thinking about the media, to work together. And it\u2019s even more important, given the change in technology, because if you are trying to find an idea that lives in a Facebook channel, you need to know that before you write the brief. It\u2019s not like the old days where you knew the media choices were either 15 seconds long, 30 seconds or 60 seconds. The media choice becomes much more important in the creative idea. So, it\u2019s up to us to find ways of making them work more closely together. Actually that\u2019s part of Srini\u2019s job. I would expect him to make sure that in WPP, India, our media agencies and creative agencies work well together.\nQ] If you have separate units, separate P&Ls focused on their own jobs, is getting them to synergize and think together a tad difficult?\nJust because things are difficult doesn\u2019t mean they are not possible. They are the right thing to do, is what I am saying. So one of the ways to make that happen is through leadership and talent. You want to have leadership that leads in it and talent that works together. A part of it is about culture, having a culture of collaboration. A part of it is about location, and we are in the process of moving our people into WPP campuses. I have seen all around the world that the moment you put five WPP companies together in a campus, the level of collaboration grows exponentially. Part of it is technology, where we need to use technology to collect the data. That\u2019s ultimately what clients want - to understand how the data insights drive strategy. From those insights, what\u2019s the best creative idea? How do I target my creative, and how do I use data to measure the results? So, we need to have a technology strategy that integrates the companies so they can collaborate. I don\u2019t want three people doing the same thing all the time. It\u2019s understanding the different roles, and then understanding when to come together. The P&Ls are much more about measuring the success and the growth and knowing where to invest; also rewarding people. We should have a much more collaborative way of rewarding people in general across WPP. At a leadership level, the leaders of WPP companies will sit together and work together to helm WPP. That will over time cement a culture of collaboration. It\u2019s not going to happen overnight, but with the changes we are making, with Srini\u2019s leadership, the campuses, the technology, we will collectively work so clients see the results and get benefits. Then, we win. When people see that they win by working together, they will do more of it. That\u2019s what I observed when I was running Wunderman, when we worked without the parts of WPP in one place. We just won the VW creative business in North America with a totally integrated team from 10 or 12 different WPP companies collaborating. Change in our industry has too often been made by clients. But clients want an integrated list of solutions. So, that\u2019s what we are trying to sort out.\nQ] The Digital change has swept the industry completely, and run ahead of the advertising agencies\u2019 agenda. Thirty years back, advertising agencies were the ones that used to set the agenda for the client\u2019s communication needs. That is no longer the case. The client\u2019s understanding has grown significantly. Agencies are now involved in only one part of the business. There is a lot of scepticism and pessimism about the future of the advertising business. Looking ahead 5-7 years from today, what would companies like Facebook, Google be doing? What do you see advertising agencies morphing into to keep themselves relevant and also the business sustainable at a large enough scale?\nWe define that for WPP. WPP is an advertising agency, and a lot more than that. We set out this vision of how we will be a creative transformation company and offer a broader range of services, not just advertising but the full range of communications, experience, technology, and help clients in that transformation, which involves all of those things. We can grow strongly. The irony is, while people inside the industry sometimes get too pessimistic about the future, that has in a way attracted consultants and the likes of Facebook and Google. So, they see something in it that we don\u2019t. We have to recapture our confidence. Confidence is not the same as arrogance or competency; we have to change then we can do a lot more. I talk to lots of our clients around the world. And they really value what we do. They want us to change, to be simpler to navigate, more collaborative, invest in more creativity, invest in more technology. I am not pessimistic. I think our industry is going through a structural change, not structural decline, much like any business, and these too have evolved. I think it\u2019s an exciting time.\nQ] WPP has significant scale in India already. If you look at the media agency part of the business, GroupM, the numbers say you already have a 47-48% marketshare, which is fantastic on one hand, but how do you grow beyond that, in terms of bringing in clients who are in conflict with existing clients, growing in a market where there aren\u2019t too many new clients coming on the radar\u2026 what do you do?\nWe have a strong business, but there are still areas where we can grow. We\u2019ve made important steps, but we haven\u2019t taken as much advantage of the various technology skills we have in India \u2013 MSC, Hogarth, our production centre in Chennai, Ogilvy, PennyWise\u2026 when we think of India as a technology base for the world, like others have done. That\u2019s a big opportunity to grow our business in India.\nQ] Does that hold true for all the WPP agencies?\nWe can\u2019t duplicate resources, so yes, we will work over the next year or so to have one platform that supports all our WPP companies globally. There\u2019s also the growth of Indian multinationals outside the UK. India has a really important role to play creatively. Piyush taking on a global creative role at Ogilvy \u2013 I think that\u2019s fantastic. As we grow, if our traditional business is in communications, there are other areas of experience like e-commerce, technology, where I think we can help clients \u2013 particularly on the commerce front, and I call it commerce, not e-commerce, because it\u2019s both thing. That\u2019s an area where traditionally we\u2019ve been focused on marketing, where we can help our clients with sales. As sales and marketing are becoming more integrated as they take place on the same devices, there\u2019s big opportunity for us.\nQ] You mentioned Piyush Pandey. Tell me a little more about his role within WPP\u2026what is your expectation from him?\nEvery CCO approaches it differently, depending on their personality and skills and I think Piyush will bring a great sense of creative energy to Ogilvy, help rejuvenate their creative culture and he will be a role model that will attract talent to the business\u2026 that\u2019s hopefully what we\u2019re looking at.\nQ] And what about his involvement in running various parts of the creative business across the world?\nWe all share equal responsibility for making the organization great, you can\u2019t pin that on one individual. I think he\u2019s going to chair Ogilvy\u2019s creative council and help them collectively direct Ogilvy\u2019s efforts.\nQ] Talking of the competitive scenario that has been shaping up, especially in India, where agency groups have been on a buying spree of smaller Digital set-ups, WPP has been a believer in building things ground up though there is an advantage in buying an entrepreneur-driven show \u2013 you get a readymade team, clientele and it is up and running. Over the last few years, some groups in India have managed to create a perception of having taken the lead when it comes to the Digital business, which is what most clients today want to talk about\u2026 what is your strategy in countering that?\nI think organic growth ultimately is the best way to break out of any business. The faster we can grow the business organically, the better. I\u2019d rather grow things internally, than make acquisitions. We\u2019ve made a large number of acquisitions in India over the last five years, most recently The Glitch. Organic growth and acquisitions play a role, so you have a strong business, there are times when business moves outside and there are times when it comes back. It\u2019s not my job to be happy with where we are, so I\u2019d like us to do even more. We have a strong Digital business and the one thing we\u2019re trying to get rid of, here at WPP, is this word Digital because I don\u2019t think it is helpful to understand the world. We don\u2019t have analogue consumers and Digital consumers.\nQ] Why is that?\nI think ideas have to go across analogue and Digital. We\u2019re trying to bring businesses together, such as JW Thompson and Wunderman. It\u2019s to integrate the solutions, so they don\u2019t need to go a certain Digital agency. If they go to a so-called Digital agency, who is going to do the so-called analogue marketing? So the world has become much more integrated and consumer experiences move from analogue to Digital very quickly, and the time has come to bring those two worlds together. Eliminating the word Digital is a good way of getting them to think about how they should be much more integrated.\nQ] You\u2019ve hired Sameer Singh to head GroupM \u2013 he comes from a completely Digital business, tell us about that\u2026\nAny company needs to be oriented towards its growth and future. Having people with experiences of where the growth is, is a valuable thing. You typically find people who have a lot of management experience, but I\u2019d rather take a risk of bringing someone in, who may not have the \u2018management\u2019 experience, but has the understanding of the future and growth. You give them the opportunity, I think that\u2019s a good thing to do.\nQ] What is the future of the media agency business when you\u2019re playing at small margins? These days, there are pitches where clients expect you to work on 2% commission. There\u2019s hardly any money to go around. Does the business and remuneration model need to be fixed and how do you fix it?\nIf I look at the business globally, there\u2019s no doubt that the business has gone from media buying scale being competitive advantage to technology differentiation, understanding and scale put together being an advantage. When you look at Digital platforms, ironically there\u2019s quite a lot of technology involved, and that requires more people to optimize, plan, coordinate traffic, analyse than the traditional media does. I think our media business around the world has been robust and we operate a number of business models. We work with complete transparency with our clients. I believe if we invest correctly in technology, and work well and partner with Google, Facebook and others, we\u2019ll be successful.\nQ] How do you partner with Google and Facebook? A small client can go and buy ads directly on Facebook today.\nAlready in Essence, we buy all of Google\u2019s media on Google for the world\u2019s largest companies. How we do support smaller clients\u2026 there\u2019s really an interesting opportunity for us. We have the expertise. We understand how to use the channels. They are complicated. It does require an integration of creative and media and serving solutions to the more sophisticated clients, where we can demonstrate the value of working with the partner. For instance, clients often need to decide whether they want to spend on Facebook or Google. It\u2019s a tough decision and we can give people who work in the business training, but it\u2019s easier for us to do that for clients.\nQ] In December, you unveiled your plans for WPP\u2019s transformation. You said you wanted to achieve an operating profit margin of at least 15% by 2021. What are the sectors that will drive growth to get you to that number?\nEach of the pillars of our business can grow. But we are seeing the fastest growth in those that are more technologicallyenabled. Where we\u2019re helping clients understand how to use new technology, whether that\u2019s for a campaign or experience manager or buying media, those are the parts of business that are seeing the fastest growth. The parts of the business that are most challenged are those that sit on the analogue channels, TV commercials, maybe not in India, but elsewhere in the world. We have to shift those resources and those parts of businesses, particularly commerce, technology, experience is where we will see faster growth than the traditional communications industry.\nQ] You\u2019ve also spoken about consultancies, the likes of Accenture and McKinsey, they are also doing business consultancy for clients which overlaps with what advertising agencies do. How do you ward off the threat from these companies because there was a time when advertising agency CEOs, for instance, would be involved in the entire marketing communication plan of a client. Today, that role is restricted to advertising communication largely.\nI don\u2019t think that\u2019s totally true. The WPP client team made up of our agencies is overseeing the entire marketing mix for clients. The industry is making special efforts and we\u2019re trying to bring that back. We are in that position with many of our clients and that\u2019s one of our responses. McKinsey and Accenture are very different organizations. In fact, we work collaboratively with McKinsey on a number of clients and I\u2019d say they have an expertise that we don\u2019t have and we have an expertise that they don\u2019t have. We bring creativity, innovation and understanding of the future that consultancies can\u2019t do. Consultancy companies can tell you there are two arguments - that I have studied the data and it tells me this or I\u2019ve observed that 25 other people have done something, therefore you should do it. That\u2019s the basis on which they make recommendations to clients. We tell clients that we should launch this brand because based on our experience, it will resonate with consumers, or we tell them that we feel a creative idea is the best idea, if that\u2019s what we believe in, and I think we are much better able to envision a future and those are things that drive growth for clients. Now on the Accenture front, the way I see it, either Accenture could become a little bit more like us or probably we will end up becoming a little bit more like Accenture. I don\u2019t think we\u2019ll ever be the same organization. We have WPP creativity in our DNA in a way that consulting companies never will and there are other things in their DNA that we don\u2019t have.\nQ] Do you think that clients\u2019 trust in advertising agencies has gone down?\nNo, I think that we do fantastic work for clients. Actually, we can also do a lot of this more technologically-enabled work. We actually do have a much greater depth of technology expertise than clients realise, and more often than not, we are not marketing it well enough, and that\u2019s our fault. That\u2019s why we\u2019re trying to reposition WPP in order to help clients understand what we can do. So I don\u2019t think the trust in agencies is declining. I think there is a trust issue in digital media that we all as an industry must try to address. Agencies have to play a role in that, as do media owners and technology platforms.\nQ] So what\u2019s at the heart of the trust issue, according to you, on the Digital media front?\nI think it goes back to that famous cartoon in the New Yorker \u2013 \u2018No one knows you\u2019re a dog\u2019. There is this sort of illusion of measurability. There\u2019s issues around brand safety, issues around accuracy of measurement, bots \u2013 there\u2019s a huge number of industry issues and I would say that GroupM has taken the leadership position over the last 3-5 years on brand safety, piracy, driving higher standards; so advertisers know what they are getting. Sometimes trust breaks down when there\u2019s an unpleasant surprise. There have been too many unpleasant surprises in Digital media, and that\u2019s something we need to fix.\nQ] At the heart of this issue is the concern of measurability. We have seen apologies issued by large platforms about incorrect data and so on. Yet, year-on-year, companies are increasing their spends on Digital.\nBecause Digital works. Otherwise, companies wouldn\u2019t invest in it. One of the great successes of Google and Facebook is their ability to grow small businesses, in particular.\nQ] For the larger businesses, however, how do you address the problem of measurability? What do you seek from Digital platforms?\nWe seek what we\u2019ve asked for so far \u2013 accountability and meeting basic standards. On that front, they have made significant strides in the past couple of years.\nQ] As the new head of WPP, what is it that you would ask of your clients, to do or not do for you?\nWe should have and aspire to have an open and transparent relationship with our clients where they tell us how we are doing and what we need to do better, and solve problems collaboratively. Our industry is tough for young people and we need to work with clients and celebrate the good things that we do and the achievements that we have. We need to have a partnership that is strong.\nFeedback: nahuja@exchange4media.com Category: Cover Story Volume No: 15 Issue No: 36\nTHE IMPACT TRENDS REPORT 2019",

        "raw_content": "December 10, 2018 | By Merrill Douglas\nMark Baker, Chief Technology Officer, Pilot Freight Services\nAs chief technology officer at Pilot Freight Services, Mark Baker's mission is to lead the company through a digital transformation. \"Like a lot of companies, Pilot has had some excellent technology solutions but still runs legacy back office systems using COBOL, FORTRAN, and RPG,\" he says. A business that relies on mainframe-era technology can't easily profit from modern innovations such as cloud computing and the Internet of Things.\nAnd a company relying on legacy systems can't continue to grow at the rate that Pilot has seen in recent years, says Baker, who joined the company in 2018. Now he's working to steer Pilot into the 21st century, and to help complete the transition from a family-owned firm to a business that could one day go public.\nInbound Logistics recently caught up with Baker to learn about the forces that shaped him as a logistics technology leader and about his current activities.\nMark Baker's first experience with technology was running the Chiron generator\u2014the system that produces scrolling graphics at the bottom of the screen\u2014for his church's television ministry. After studying Basic programming in college, he applied his new know-how to his father's regional trucking company, buying an early-generation personal computer from Radio Shack and creating software for route optimization and billing.\nAfter a while, Baker realized he didn't want to work in a family business. \"And the world of logistics drove me crazy, how slow it was to evolve,\" he says. He took a long detour, holding IT positions with employers such as Shop 'n Chek, the Boys & Girls Clubs, and IBM. But then a recruiter connected him with ABX Logistics in 2003. \"I went back into logistics reluctantly,\" he says. \"It hadn't changed since the day I left. But I realized that the industry had the potential for a lot of modernization and digital transformation.\"\nBeing part of that change is a great deal of fun, Baker says. \"I think of my father looking down at me and having a good laugh, because I swore I'd never get back into it.\"\nTransportGisticsDHL Supply ChainTraxTransporeonEcho Global LogisticsTransportation InsightCTSI-GlobalCass Information Systems, Inc.PierbridgeMatsonMore related company profiles...",

This partnership will considerably extend the prerequisites for AAK\u2019s business in the local marke, the company said, noting that this market is particularly important for the chocolate and confectionery fats and kakery segments.\nAAK will own 70% of the company and the remaining 30% will be owned by Miyoshi Oils & Fat. AAK Miyoshi JP will be based in Tokyo, and will have both sales and customer innovation resources and will focus on products for the chocolate and confectionery, bakery, dairy and infant nutrition markets. The new company has entered a toll manufacturing agreement with Miyoshi Oils & Fats who will manufacture the products locally.\n\u201cWith global customers and regional leaders Japan is obviously a very attractive market to be present in for AAK\u201d, said Torben Friis Lange, President AAK Asia. \u201cMiyoshi is a very good match in size, location, technology and culture and has very well-developed relations with many important local customers. Together, we will continue to develop customer relations as well as the portfolio of speciality and semi-speciality products.\u201d\nMiyoshi Oils & Fats was established in 1921 and has traditionally operated in the bakery market. The company, which had annual revenues of approximately SEK3 billion in 2014, has factories in the Tokyo and Osaka harbour areas.\n\u201cI have visited AAK many times over the last 40 years and it is with great pleasure we welcome this partnership,\u201d said Katsuyoshi Miki, Executive Managing Director at Miyoshi Oils & Fats. \u201cI\u2019m confident that it will be successful and that it will create great synergy effects for both partners.\u201d\nThrough this partnership, AAK says it will further strengthen its presence in the strategically important Asian market. As communicated earlier, AAK is currently constructing a speciality and semi-speciality edible oils factory in Zhangjiagang, China, which will be operational during the end of the second quarter of 2016. In addition, AAK has recently acquired 51% of a leading Indian oils and fats company, creating AAK Kamani, based in Mumbai.\nThe AAK Miyoshi JP partnership will be operational from January, 2016.",

        "raw_content": "Inhofe, Lankford Praise Senate Passage of Veterans Healthcare & Education Priorities\nWASHINGTON \u2013 U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), senior member of the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC), and U.S. Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) today praised the passage of S. 3021, a bill that advances key healthcare and education priorities for our veterans. The bill passed the Senate on Dec. 10 by unanimous consent.\n\u201cImproving health care and education benefits for our veterans has been one of my top priorities for my entire tenure in Congress,\u201d said Inhofe. \u201cI am glad the Senate passed the important legislation and I look forward to finishing this work in both chambers early next year. Building on recent changes in leadership and the third party investigation of the VA centers in Oklahoma, this legislation ensures that care will continue to improve in Oklahoma and across the country as VA\u2019s regional directors are permanently empowered to hire qualified third party entities to audit their health care facilities. This will hold them accountable to providing care at the same level of excellence as private hospitals.\u201d\n\u201cI am also proud that this legislation fixes a frivolous law that prevented veterans from fully exercising their GI benefits at Career & Technical Education Centers,\u201d Inhofe continued. \u201cCareer & Technical Education Centers equip our veterans for the workforce and teach skills that translate into good paying jobs. We have a responsibility to those who have served and we must work to ensure they have access to opportunities that will ensure their success after they return home; this legislation does just that.\u201d\n\u201cThis bill will ensure veterans have access to educational assistance and career training at accredited career technical training centers in Oklahoma and across the country,\u201d said Lankford. \u201cThis also fixes issues with veteran access to vocational rehabilitation services. I\u2019m pleased this bill was advanced by the Senate and I look forward to it passing in both chambers and becoming law next year. Veterans are a civic asset and this legislation will ensure veterans transition seamlessly to civilian industry.\u201d\nOn June 29, U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) delivered remarks at a Senate Veterans Affairs Committee\u2019s legislative hearing in support of S. 3021.\nOn June 7, U.S. Sens. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), and James Lankford (R-Okla.) introduced amendment #4479 to the FY 2017 NDAA that would support veterans\u2019 eligibility under the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Improvements Act of 2010 for education benefits when attaining postsecondary career and technical education (CTE) programs. Amendment #4479 is the same text as S. 3021, which was introduced the previous day.\nOn Feb. 23, Sen. Inhofe announced on the Senate floor that the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has committed in writing to conduct investigations of Oklahoma\u2019s VA hospitals in coordination with an outside entity, a condition made by Inhofe prior to allowing confirmation of the VA Inspector General nominee.\nOn Feb. 12, Sens. Inhofe & Lankford introduced S. 2554, the Veterans Affairs Accountability Act which expanded authority at the Department of Veterans Affairs to allow directors of Veterans Integrated Services Network (VISN) chapters to remove or demote any VA employee within their network whose performance warrants such action and to authorize VISN directors to contract with an outside entity to conduct investigations of their VA medical facilities.\nOn Dec. 23, 2015 Inhofe contacted VISN 19 Network Director Ralph Gigliotti and requested his personal assistance in ensuring proper care is provided to the five veterans identified in the Dec. 23, 2015, USA Today article. Inhofe continues to work with the VA on care for these veterans to include addressing existing medical issues and any future medical issues.",

        "raw_content": "How is a new president supposed to clean house? Dos and don'ts from a presidency-cut-short at U. of Wyoming.\nRobert Sternberg became president of the University of Wyoming in July, started building a new leadership team and was gone long before he could finish.\nSternberg, a renowned psychologist, had a brisk tenure as president and came to at least one solid conclusion: \u201cas wonderful as the University of Wyoming is, it may not be the best fit for me as president,\u201d he said in a statement last week announcing his immediate departure after four months.\nIn what looks like a new president\u2019s administrative house-cleaning gone awry, the question is, Did it have to be this way? Should senior administrators step aside gracefully when a new president arrives? How quickly should a new president act?\nSternberg came to Wyoming after three years as provost at Oklahoma State University. One of his first major decisions was to oust the longtime provost, Myron Allen. The new president thought Allen favored a management technique that put too much power in the hands of the central administration. Sternberg also said there were serious differences in their interpretations of the university's land-grant mission. But the ouster of the provost didn\u2019t go so well.\n\u201cHis crew of associate provosts almost immediately resigned in either protest or solidarity \u2013 I don\u2019t know, they didn\u2019t talk to me, that\u2019s their prerogative,\u201d Sternberg said in a telephone interview.\nNicole Susan Ballenger, one of the associate provosts who resigned, said the idea that Sternberg did too much too fast is \"too simple\" to explain what happened. She blamed a lack of respect for and interest in human capital.\n\"People here, like everywhere, want to be a part of their future,\" she said in an email. \"When they know they are being left out, disregarded, and at the same time don't understand what the change is meant to be about, they become suspicious about motives, fear takes over, and trust is lost.\"\nIn any event, suddenly Sternberg was down a veteran provost and several associate provosts.\nSternberg also got word \u2013 through his new interim provost, Dick McGinity \u2013 to the dean of the College of Education that he wanted her to resign. She did. Sternberg said the dean had to go because he was hearing repeatedly that the university's graduates were not top choices for K-12 teaching positions.\nBut then the dean of the College of Law resigned in protest on Halloween over a new task force Sternberg set up to look at the future of legal education in Wyoming. The law dean, Stephen D. Easton, said he wasn\u2019t in the loop.\nA week later, Easton stood up during a campus forum and challenged Sternberg to have his actions judged in a trial-style proceeding.\n\u201cI thought it was kind of theatrical and not what you expect from a dean of university, but the audience seemed to be pretty much with him,\u201d Sternberg said. Easton could not be reached for comment.\nThings were not getting better.\nAfter just 135 days on the job, Sternberg \u2013 who had gotten word his support on the board of trustees was no longer solid \u2013 told the board's president, David Bostrom, during a one-on-one meeting in Old Main last Wednesday, that he would resign.\nThe announcement dropped on Thursday, and both Sternberg and Bostrom said Sternberg was carrying out the board\u2019s wishes during his time at Wyoming.\nNone of the administrators who lost or quit their jobs are going to get them back, for instance. Bostrom said new people are already in those spots. \u201cWe\u2019re not going to un-fill those positions,\u201d he said.\n\u201cIt\u2019s his manner,\u201d said Peter Shive, a professor emeritus and Sternberg critic. \u201cI think that most people here agree that we haven\u2019t had significant change in quite some time. So, probably, there is need for some. We may disagree on what exactly may be the best changes, I\u2019m sure \u2013 you could say that about anywhere. But his manner of provoking this change was absolutely unacceptable to so many of us.\u201d\nOne person who cautioned against hiring an outside president was Allen, the ousted provost. In a 2012 document titled \u201cPlanning for Presidential Succession,\u201d Allen, a university veteran, argued the board should \u201cdiscuss how qualified internal candidates will be integrated in a search process, and how they will ensure that internal candidates will be accommodated fairly.\u201d The postition most commonly held before a presidency? Provost. Allen and his co-author, associate provost Carol Frost, could not be reached for comment. Frost was among the associate provosts who left their administrative jobs after Allen was removed.\nOnce Sternberg came in, Allen\u2019s exit happened quickly. Within four weeks of coming to campus, Sternberg told Allen to go back to being a faculty member. The official story \u2013 which Sternberg and a university spokesman both told faculty and the media \u2013 was that Allen\u2019s resignation letter was received with \u201cgreat regret\u201d because Allen had decided to go back to teaching.\n\u201cThat\u2019s what\u2019s usually done,\u201d Sternberg said in an interview.\nIndeed, the usual practice is for a president and departing official to coordinate their statements and have a cover story.\nBut the cover was blown when Allen made it known that he was forced out.\nShive said that cost Sternberg.\n\u201cHe said that everybody resigned, but it quickly became apparent that that was a lie,\u201d Shive said. \u201cHe explained the lie by saying, 'Well, I lied because I wanted to protect the reputation of these people.' So, that begs the question, If it\u2019s O.K. to lie in this circumstance, what other circumstances would justify his lying to his faculty?\u201d\nSternberg said was only following standard procedure to protect those asked to step down.\n\"My trying to preserve their dignity and administrative job possibilities, therefore, seriously backfired,\" he said in an email. \"What I did not anticipate was the negative feelings that my effort to preserve their dignity would create, nor did I anticipate that many of the officials who stepped down actively would turn on me.\"\nOf course, the dignity preservation effort often works.\nFor instance, George Washington University President Emeritus Stephen Joel Trachtenberg was once a new president who wanted to get rid of a \u201cvery nice older gentleman who held the title\u201d of provost.\nTrachtenberg told the provost he could stay around another year, keep the title, keep the office, keep the secretary -- but with someone else doing the actual job of provost.\n\u201cIt\u2019s just the way adults treat each other,\u201d Trachtenberg said.\nJohn Burness, a former interim president at Franklin & Marshall College who now teaches on higher ed at Duke University, where he was a longtime vice president, said new presidents need to be deft about how they go about cleaning house.\n\u201cIt doesn\u2019t look like a lot of deftness was utilized here, let\u2019s put it that way,\u201d Burness said.\nBostrom, the board president, said he didn\u2019t know if Sternberg made too many changes too soon. Instead, Bostrom said there are different management styles and each can work or fail. Some people might argue rapid change causes too much turmoil, but going slowly can cause long-term turmoil.\n\u201cIf you talk to management gurus, you\u2019re going to find there is not any right way to do it,\u201d Bostrom, who was in the insurance business, said.\nSternberg also got blamed for a few other senior university officials who happened to leave around the time he arrived. \u201cI\u2019m afraid I got a lot more credit than I deserved for people leaving,\u201d Sternberg said.\nSusan Resneck Pierce, president emerita at the University of Puget Sound and a higher ed leadership consultant (as well as a frequent contributor to Inside Higher Ed) said new presidents don't necessarily need to spend their first year on a listening tour, but they do need to consult carefully before letting go of an experienced administrator. New presidents also need to work on their own reputation.\n\"If it\u2019s not a crisis situation or for cause, it would behoove any president to establish him/herself on the campus,\u201d she said.\nShive said things got so bad on campus that trivial things would become part of the climate of fear. For instance, Shive said Sternberg asked everyone to wear the school colors, brown and gold, on Fridays.\nShive, a geologist by training, said he walked around campus and found the farther away from the administrative building he went, the fewer people were wearing brown and gold \u2013 except for a spike at the College of Education.\n\u201cThey wore brown and gold on Fridays only because they were afraid not to,\u201d he said of the people who wore the right colors.\nSternberg said an atmosphere did evolve on campus that was unhealthy. He started to hear rumors he would abolish tenure, cancel sabbaticals and dishonor faculty who were not doing work in the energy field, and that he was being controlled by the energy industry.\n\"As time went on, the rumors got worse and worse,\" he said in an email. \"They had no basis, but I could not figure out how to control them without spreading them further. I do not think this is something special about Wyoming. This can happen anywhere and, from time to time, does. I suggested to the chair of the Faculty Senate that I have a faculty advisory committee and that I have yet another town meeting to dispel rumors. But I think by that point it was too late. Things had spun out of control, I thought.\"\nSternberg said his all-around goal was to elevate the reputation of the University of Wyoming. Sternberg said the board and state lawmakers wanted more emphasis on producing graduates with practical training, like good teachers or lawyers with experience with energy policy, which is important in the state.\nSternberg said people at Wyoming did not believe him or buy into his vision.\n\u201cI told people many times that we could be the No. 1 land-grant institution in the country if we were tops in service to our state and in educating ethical leaders who would make a positive, meaningful, and enduring difference to the world,\u201d Sternberg said in an email. \u201cSome people agreed, but for me, a surprising number of people said they didn't believe me, and some outright called me a liar. I really did believe it though.\u201d\nIt\u2019s not clear what will happen next. McGinity, the interim provost, is now interim president. Bostrom said the board has not yet decided what to do about getting a full-time president.\nSternberg, for his part, has a wife and two-year-old triplets and isn\u2019t sure what he can do next. But he\u2019s been published about 1,500 times and is cited widely \u2013 which didn\u2019t stop him from jesting that he might end up on a street corner grinding an organ with a monkey on his shoulder.\nStill, since the University of Wyoming isn\u2019t going to reverse the personnel changes, he said, \u201cNow, a new team will go in and it will be able to continue the changes\u201d without taking the blame he took.\nWyoming Trustees Appoint President, Bypassing Policy on Consultation\nEssay on lessons to be learned by a very short presidency at U. of Wyoming\nUniversity of Wyoming faces more than a budget crunch",

        "raw_content": "Bachpacking!\nMy daughter, Simone Dinnerstein, is a rather incredible person, if I do say so myself! She\u2019s a marvelous pianist who worked very hard her entire life to achieve the success that she is now enjoying. At the age of 4 she decided that she wanted to be a pianist. We were living in Rome because my husband, Simon, had received a Rome Prize for painting. Simon\u2019s studio was at the beautiful American Academy and we had a lovely apartment nearby in the neighborhood, Monteverde Vecchio. We enrolled Simone in a ballet class for children, thinking that she would enjoy the dancing. Little did we know that the pianist who played Chopin while they went through their dance routines would mesmerize her. She began asking for lessons but, since both Simon and I had no musical background, we thought that she was too young to study piano. In addition, we did not have a piano!\nThe requests didn\u2019t stop. Finally Simon asked the composer in residence, John Thow, what he would suggest and John advised us to begin her on recorder lessons. By this time, Simone was five years old. We bought her a recorder and found a lovely recorder teacher who agreed to instruct her. Her teacher was amazed at how quickly Simone picked up the music. She said that it was as though she had played it in another life.\nWe didn\u2019t return to NYC until Simone was seven but as soon as we were settled in an apartment, Simone reminded us of our promise to let her have piano lessons when we returned to NY. We brought my mother\u2019s spinet piano to Brooklyn, found a young woman in the neighborhood who gave lessons, and Simone\u2019s life as a pianist began. She eventually went to the Manhattan School of Music Pre-College Division every Saturday until she graduated high school where she studied with Solomon Mikowsky (without missing one Saturday!), then to Juilliard, followed by studying in London with the renowned teacher, Maria Curcio and finally returning to NY to study with Peter Serkin.\nThe rest of her career is well documented in many articles and interviews, so I\u2019ll skip over that and move right on to the reason for this blog entry.\nI\u2019ve always believed that it was my husband\u2019s career as an artist that had the greatest influence on Simone but lately I\u2019m realizing that she is also very much influenced by my career as a teacher. Simone has a deep commitment towards bringing music into the life of the community and also to the lives of young children. To this end she began a program called Neighborhood Classics in two New York City public schools, hoping that it will be replicated in other schools and communities.\nThis year she has added to that by creating her Bachpacking experiences, where she had gone directly into classrooms in 10 NYC schools and 10 Washington, D.C. schools so that she can play Bach for the children. Yamaha has donated the use of a digital piano and SONY has provided transportation for her. I sat in on two of her sessions with third graders at the UFT Charter School in Brooklyn. The children were totally engaged and eager to ask questions. (\u201cDo you have to practice on your birthday?\u201d). A second grade teacher at P.S. 142 in Manhattan sent me the following email message, \u201cI want you to know this really brought a smile to my face. I can\u2019t begin to tell you how inspired they were and immediately started writing about their experience. They also asked more questions about music today and so I explained some rudimentary things about the treble and bass clef and how notes are written on paper and read between left and right hand. We also discussed how their voices are really musical instruemts and practiced the scale DO RAE Me etc\u2026 They just can\u2019t stop telling people about the concert and are trying their best to be so well behaved.I was also amazed how they managed to remember so many of the words they were taught. Did Simone tell you about the one little girl who started to cry because she was holding her breath to be picked to play so Simone was nice enough to allow her to play. She went home and told her mother all about how much she loved the music.\u201d\nIn Yiddish there\u2019s a word that signifies filling up with pride \u2013 kvelling. I guess I\u2019m taking advantage of my blog to do some kvelling. But beyond my pride, it\u2019s so obvious when one sees the children interacting with Simone how easily children take to music and how much joy and fulfillment it can bring to their lives. I hope that Simone\u2019s work in the schools might inspire the powers that be to bring good music instruction and experiences back into the public schools.\n\u201cOnly a society prepared by education can ever be truly a cultured society \u2026Children must receive musical instruction naturally as food, and with as much pleasure as they derive from a ball game.\u201d\nThis entry was posted in Investigating Choice Time: Inquiry, Exploration, and Play and tagged Bachpacking, John Thow, kvelling, Neighborhood Classics, recorder, Rome Prize on February 22, 2014 by Renee.\n\u2190 Beautiful Serendipity Embarking on an Inquiry-based Project \u2192\n6 thoughts on \u201cBachpacking!\u201d\nJoan Kramer February 23, 2014 at 1:47 am\nYour daughter is awesome! That word just fits her. She plays so beautifully and then loves what she does so much that she carries that love to children. Such lucky children they are indeed. This blog needs to be sent to my entire school district \u2014 Board of Education and Superintendent in particular \u2014 to show them why we need ART and MUSIC TEACHERS and not just getting the regular teacher to insert a bit of music or art here and there. There is no substitute for art and music teachers. We just can\u2019t do the same job as they. And Simone is a great example of this importance.\nTracie Goldman February 23, 2014 at 12:54 pm\nThis is an absolutely wonderful experience. You must be so proud and have stars in your eyes when you rave about your daughter.\nSimply exquisite.\nThank you Tracy. Yes I am proud of her. Her experience also emphasizes what I believed all along. Children will rise to all heights given the opportunities. The little girl in the second grade class who was so excited comes from a Latino immigrant family living at the edge of poverty. We need to have faith and trust in the abilities of all children and find ways of inspiring them and supporting their growth. It\u2019s really about a lot more than Common Core Learning Standards. It\u2019s about connecting with children and finding ways to excite them about learning something new\u2026like Bach.\nBeautiful! Renee\u2019s comment above also says it all. In addition to all the other wonderful aspects of this project, I appreciate the opportunities for movement it offers children, even when they\u2019re sitting in a circle. Lots of opportunities for moving arms and fingers to boost auditory and attentional (and of course musical) capacities!\nTomasen March 1, 2014 at 4:16 pm\nWow! I am moved by this on so many levels. It makes me think, what if our goal in education was to create experiences for children that move them, that push them to envision what their lives might be like, to engage in something they would not normally engage in?\nI see you, Renee, in Simone, in the way she speaks with great respect, calm and genuine care to kids. She is your daughter through and through. And while she may get her artistic focus from Simon, she surely gets her ability to connect with people, to share her passion and to teach from you.\nYou shall Kvell all you like, as you have every reason to!\nLove this. It is incredibly hopeful!\nThank you Tomasen. I totally agree with you about the importance of providing children with experiences that push them to envision what their life might be like one day. I\u2019ll give you a little example of something that happened years ago. I was teaching kindergarten and in the middle of the year a new boy joined our class. Jimmy was living in Puerto Rico on his grandmother\u2019s farm when a huge hurricane struck the country and destroyed the farm. Jimmy\u2019s family moved to Brooklyn. He was a sweet little boy, eager to join in and make friends. His parents spoke English and Jimmy understood the language. That year we took a trip to the Cooper Hewitt Museum in Manhattan to see an Alexander Calder exhibit. Back at school, the children created mobiles in the art center. They made individual mobiles, if they wanted to. Also a group of children worked on a very large mobile that we hung from the light fixtures.\nJimmy was on the young side and in conference with his parents we decided that he would benefit from a second year in kindergarten. The second year he was in the art center, browsing through some art books that I kept there for the children. He jumped up, after looking through one of the books, and very excitedly ran to get me. There was something that I HAD to see, he said. He pointed to a picture in the book and said, \u201cLook. It\u2019s a Sasha! \u201d (Our museum educator told us that Sasha was Calder\u2019s nickname). This was more than a year after our trip to the museum! Now, skip forward to this year. Jimmy and I have reconnected on Facebook. I haven\u2019t seen him since he was six years old! I reminded him of the Calder story. He completely could not remember the incident. However, he is now a filmmaker. Is there something, somewhere in the recesses of his memory, which connects to that artistic experience? I wonder. What do you think?",

        "title": "When Can Police in Florida Search a Person's Hotel Room for Drugs? \u2014 Jacksonville Criminal Lawyer Blog \u2014 May 23, 2014",
        "raw_content": "When Can Police in Florida Search a Person\u2019s Hotel Room for Drugs?\nThe Constitution protects a person\u2019s home, vehicle and other property from unreasonable searches. This normally means that the police must either have consent to search or a search warrant before they search something that belongs to another person. However, some items or locations are not as clearly protected from police searches.\nFor instance, what Constitutional protections are involved with hotel rooms? The law is not completely clear and whether a search is valid depends on the circumstances of the case, but some rules do seem to be fairly certain. If a person registers for a hotel room, pays the fee and is lawfully in the room, that hotel room has similar Constitutional protections to a house. In that situation, the police cannot just walk in without permission or a search warrant. The police also cannot go to the manager\u2019s office or hotel security and have them let the police into the hotel room without the consent of the person who rented the room or a search warrant. However, if the room is rented until a certain date and time and the occupant does not pay to keep renting the room beyond that time, the police can likely have the manager let them in the room to search it. For instance, if a person rents the room for Monday night and checkout time is 10:00 am on Tuesday and the person does not pay for Tuesday, the police may be able to go into the room to search it after 10:00 am on Tuesday.\nWhat about a guest of the person who rented the room? If Person A rents the room and allows Person B to stay in the room as well, can Person B challenge an illegal search of that room? That depends on the circumstances. If Person B can establish that he had a legitimate expectation of privacy in the room, Person B may be able to challenge a search of the hotel room. For instance, if the hotel knew Person B was staying there, the hotel did not have a policy against it, Person B had his belongings in the room and had already been in the room for a sufficient period of time, Person B may have a expectation of privacy in the room that would allow him to challenge an illegal search of the room. On the other hand, if the guest had only been in the room for a short period of time, did not have any belongings in the room and the hotel did not know the guest was in the room, it would be more difficult for that person to argue that he has standing to challenge an illegal search of the room. In that case, the police search could be highly illegal and the police could find a lot of drugs or other evidence and that person may not be able to challenge that search.",

It\u2019s an acknowledgment of his artistry and his standing as \u201cthe poet of the common man.\u201d It\u2019s a tribute to his incredible commercial success and to the lasting mark he has made, not just on country music, but on American music as a whole. It\u2019s apt in every way but one.\nThe term imposes an aura of loftiness that\u2019s totally at odds with the grit and heart of Haggard\u2019s songs. \u201cI\u2019d be more comfortable with something like \u201cprofessor,\u201d he once told a reporter, and the description suits him. Studying, analyzing and observing the details of life around him, Haggard relays what he sees, hears and feels through his songs. The lyrics are deceptively simple, the music exceptionally listenable. Others who have lived through those same situations recognize the truth in the stories he tells. But Haggard\u2019s real gift is that anyone who hears his songs recognizes the truth in them. When a Merle Haggard song plays, it can make an innocent-as-apple-pie grandma understand the stark loneliness and self-loathing of a prisoner on death row; a rich kid who never wanted for any material possession get a feel for the pain of wondering where the next meal will come from; a tee-totaling pillar of the community sympathize with the poor heartbroken guy downing shots at the local bar.\nAs a result, Haggard found his songs at the top of the charts on a regular basis. Immediately embraced by country fans, he also earned the respect of his peers. In addition to the 40 #1 hits included here, Haggard charted scores of Top Ten songs. He won just about every music award imaginable, both as a performer and as a songwriter, and in 1994 was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. His body of work easily places him beside Hank Williams as one of the most influential artists in country music.\nThat\u2019s quite an accomplishment for the boy who was once officially branded \u201cincorrigible.\u201d\nMerle Ronald Haggard was born in 1937, outside Bakersfield, California. His parents, Jim and Flossie, moved the family there after their farm in Oklahoma burned down, with Jim finding work as a carpenter for the Santa Fe Railroad. The family lived in an old boxcar that they converted into a home. Though struggling to make a meager living, they had a sturdy shelter and food was always on the table.\nThings changed dramatically after Jim died of a stroke when Merle was nine years old. It was a devastating event for the young boy, who was very close to his father. His mother went to work as a bookkeeper to make ends meet, often leaving Merle in the care of a great aunt and uncle. With his world turned upside down, Haggard turned rebellious. He hopped a freight train when he was just ten years old, making it to Fresno before being picked up by the authorities. It was the first step toward a youth of truancy from school and petty crime. For the next few years, Haggard would find himself in reform schools, sometimes making an escape, only to get thrown back in again.\nThe angel on his shoulder during these troubled times was Haggard\u2019s love and talent for music. Though he gave it up before Merle was born, his father used to play fiddle and guitar in Oklahoma for schoolhouse dances and social gatherings. Not having an automobile or formal instrument cases, the senior Haggard would ride his horse to these gatherings, carrying his fiddle on one side of the horse and the guitar on the other, in large pillowcases.\nStill some of the musical gift had been passed on to Merle, and he easily took to playing guitar. Starting out as a fan of Bob Wills, Haggard eventually found his musical idol in Lefty Frizzell, and worked up a pretty impressive copy of the original\u2019s singing style. \u201cFor three or four years I didn\u2019t sing anything but Lefty Frizzell songs,\u201d Merle told Music City News. \u201cAnd then, because Lefty was a fan of Jimmie Rodgers, I learned to imitate him too.\u201d Haggard got the chance to see Lefty perform in person when he was 14. \u201cHe was dressed in white \u2013 heroes usually are,\u201d Merle said.\nThe hero wasn\u2019t a savior though, at least not in an immediate sense. Haggard was already starting to make small amounts of money here and there by playing music, but it wasn\u2019t enough to keep him out of trouble. He left home at 15 with a friend, and the two were picked up as suspects in a robbery. Though innocent, he ended up in jail for two-and-a-half weeks. It was the first time he tasted prison life, but it wasn\u2019t the last. In and out of jail over the years for small crimes, he found himself doing serious time in San Quentin at the age of 20.\n\u201cGoing to prison has one of a few effects,\u201d he told Salon in 2004. \u201cIt can make you worse, or it can make you understand and appreciate freedom. I learned to appreciate freedom when I didn\u2019t have any.\u201d\nHis musical ability offered hope for a future. A fellow inmate at San Quentin, nicknamed Rabbit, saw that clearly. When Rabbit came up with an escape plan, he told Haggard that he could come along, but probably shouldn\u2019t, since he had a good shot of making a career from his singing.\nAs Rabbit had predicted, Haggard\u2019s music was his way out of a dead-end life of small crimes and intermittent jail time. Released from San Quentin in 1960, he joined the then thriving Bakersfield country scene, which eschewed the smooth country-politan sound coming out of Nashville for a harder-hitting honky-tonk groove.\nAfter making an impression working in local clubs, Haggard joined Las Vegas star Wynn Stewart\u2019s band in 1962 as a bassist. When he got a chance to record his own single, Haggard chose the Stewart composition, \u201cSing A Sad Song.\u201d It came out on the small Tally Records label in 1964, and made it into the Top Twenty. His follow up singles didn\u2019t do quite as well, until \u201c(My Friends Are Gonna Be) Strangers\u201d went into the Top Ten and brought him to the attention of Capitol Records. He proved himself a hit maker with three Top Ten singles in 1967, including his first #1, \u201cThe Fugitive.\u201d\nSongwriters Liz and Casey Anderson were inspired by a popular TV series, \u201cThe Fugitive.\u201d But Haggard knew firsthand what it was like to be on the run. In some ways, he may have felt that he was in that same situation again. Here he\u2019d successfully turned his life around, and he realized that his criminal past might now come back to slap him down. He made those feelings clear less than a year later in his next #1. The self-penned \u201cBranded Man\u201d includes the lines, \u201cWhen they let me out of prison, I held my head up high/Determined I would rise above the shame/But no matter where I\u2019m living, the black mark follows me/I\u2019m branded with a number on my name.\u201d\nHaggard said Johnny Cash encouraged him to address his problems directly in verse. \u201cI was bull-headed about my career. I didn\u2019t want to talk about being in prison,\u201d Haggard recalls, \u201cbut Cash said I should talk about it. That way the tabloids wouldn\u2019t be able to. I said I didn\u2019t want to do that and he said, \u2018It\u2019s just owning up to it.\u2019\u201d When Cash introduced him on his variety show, he said, \u201cHere\u2019s a man who writes about his own life and has had a life to write about.\u201d\nFrom that point on, Haggard stopped hiding the story of his past incarcerations, and his songs opened a window on the dark life of prisoners and ex-cons. \u201cSing Me Back Home,\u201d another #1 in 1967, was written for his old friend Rabbit, who was executed after his escape plan led to the death of a prison guard. \u201cMama Tried,\u201d which reached the top of the chart in 1968, offered an apology of sorts to Haggard\u2019s religious and hardworking mother, absolving her of blame for his bad behavior.\nHe laid out all the other aspects of his life in subsequent songs, proving himself an adept lyricist who specialized in sorrow and pain, with the occasional dash of hope or humor.\nHis 1969 hit \u201cHungry Eyes,\u201d a heartrending portrait of a family in poverty, includes a line about a \u201ccanvas-covered cabin,\u201d a reference to the home of the great aunt and uncle he stayed with as a boy.\nBy 1969, Haggard had also won over a good portion of musicians and critics in the rock world. Rolling Stone itself pointed its readers toward his music. Producer Don Was, who has worked with Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones and Bonnie Raitt, told Newsweek in 1996, \u201cHe\u2019ll tell you he\u2019s a country singer, but to me the essence of rock and roll is a cry for freedom and rebellion. And I don\u2019t know anyone who embodies it better. Every aspect of his life is a refusal to submit.\u201d\nStill, Was admits that when he went to see Haggard in concert in the late \u201960s he tucked his hippie-length hair into a cowboy hat. It was a politically divisive time, with the Vietnam War serving as a lightning rod for opposing political views. Young people protested against the war and openly burned their draft cards, enraging those who felt it was their patriotic duty to support the war and the men who fought it. \u201cWorking Man Blues,\u201d which came out in 1969, may have appealed to the rock crowd because of its hard-driving beat and its anti-elitism, but it delivered a clear message of solidarity to the blue collar country audience, with its uncomplimentary reference to welfare. That political stance was solidified with Haggard\u2019s most popular song, \u201cOkie From Muskogee.\u201d He says the song started as a joke, and its tone definitely leans toward the humorous, but it also drew a clear line between \u201cus\u201d and \u201cthem.\u201d Haggard spoke for the Americans who didn\u2019t smoke marijuana, didn\u2019t burn their draft cards, didn\u2019t grow their hair long and shaggy and were \u201cproud to wave Old Glory down at the courthouse.\u201d Followed by the belligerent \u201cFightin\u2019 Side of Me,\u201d which undeniably challenged the anti-war protesters, it made Haggard a political symbol. In the ensuing years, Richard Nixon invited him to sing at the White House. Ronald Reagan, then Governor of California, gave him an unconditional pardon for his past criminal offenses. George Wallace asked him for an endorsement \u2013 which Haggard turned down.\nThe furor caused by those two songs took Haggard by surprise, but he never shied away from writing songs with a strong point of view. In 1972, he released \u201cI Wonder If They Ever Think Of Me,\u201d which revisits Vietnam via the thoughts of a P.O.W., while 1973\u2032s \u201cIf We Make It Through December\u201d crystallized the worries of an unemployed father at a time when much of the U.S. was feeling the effects of a particularly difficult recession.\nOf course, Haggard also wrote about more cheerful issues. \u201cDaddy Frank (The Guitar Man)\u201d in 1971, and \u201cGrandma Harp\u201d in 1972, both express his joy in music and how it saved him in low times.\nAll of the particulars of his existence were source material, and Haggard is a man who has been married five times. When his second marriage, to Bonnie Owens, was unraveling, the hurt came through in songs like \u201cThings Aren\u2019t Funny Anymore,\u201d with the line \u201cSeems we\u2019ve lost the way to find/All the good times we found before.\u201d Owens, who had previously been married to Buck Owens, was Haggard\u2019s first duet partner and a good friend as well as his wife. His romantic devotion is apparent in \u201cAlways Wanting You,\u201d a sigh of unrequited love that he wrote for Dolly Parton, who he pined for when his marriage to Bonnie was over.\nHis third wife, Leona Williams, was also a singer and songwriter. The sweetness of \u201cIt\u2019s All In The Movies,\u201d mirrored Haggard\u2019s renewed romantic happiness. Then, when that marriage began to crumble, fans heard the details in his recordings of \u201cYou Take Me For Granted,\u201dA written by the soon-to-be-ex Mrs. Haggard and \u201cSomeday When Things Are Good,\u201d written by both Merle and Leona.\nChances are good that Haggard also drew from personal experience when he sang such drinking songs as \u201cBar Room Buddies,\u201d a duet with Clint Eastwood, and \u201cI Think I\u2019ll Just Stay Here and Drink\u201d in 1980.\nThough the hits slowed down a bit in the following decades, Haggard never stopped making music. He started producing his own cuts for the first time, and \u201cMy Favorite Memory\u201d and \u201cBig City,\u201d went to #1 in 1981. The next year he and George Jones made an album together, with their duet \u201cYesterday\u2019s Wine,\u201d reaching the top of the chart. Teaming up with another legend-in-the-making, Willie Nelson, Haggard scored again with the 1983 hit \u201cPancho and Lefty.\u201d In 1987, he scored his last #1, \u201cTwinkle, Twinkle Lucky Star.\u201d\nIn the mid-nineties, with the release of the box set Down Every Road coming at the same time Haggard was releasing an album of new music, the media turned its attention to the long-ignored singer once more. His status as a living legend took hold about then, with good reason. It was overdue.\nIt would be difficult to find an artist as creative, as successful, and as stubbornly true to himself as Haggard. In between his hits, he made albums that paid tribute to the musicians who influenced him, like Jimmie Rodgers, Lefty Frizzell and Bob Wills \u2013 done out of respect rather than commercial calculation. He blended elements of jazz, rock, blues and folk music into his arrangements, while staying true to the traditions of country. No matter what the current fashion of the moment was in music, Haggard always went his own way.\n\u201cI\u2019ll tell you what the public likes more than anything,\u201d he told the Boston Globe, \u201cIt\u2019s the most rare commodity in the world \u2013 honesty.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "The Holt Twins harmonize and blend voices in a beauty and a closeness attainable when you are fortunate enough to enter the world identically!\nSenses bridge between two individuals to form one. Combine this with a talent to sing, compose, and play a variety of instruments, and you learn the meaning of harmony. Between them they play fretless bass, keyboards, violin, viola, 6 & 12 string guitars, flute, recorders, mandolin, banjo, harmonica, sax, celtic harp, ukelele, scheitholt, mountain dulcimer, and hammered dulcimer. Originally from Sinking Spring, PA, this unique act started performing when just teenagers and quickly became the most requested act in Berks County so much so that even 15 years into their performances they were requested to be the main act at Reading's Best Fest. Their performances are too many to name, but here are a few- Bethlehem Musik Fest, Haycreek Fall Festival, Pocono Mt. Jamborees, Hershey Park, Knoebels Park, Schuylkill Haven Borough Days, & University of Wisconsin.\nFor Linda & Emily it\u2019s not just about who they\u2019ve met or played with along the way of their journey, but more importantly it\u2019s about when those people that they\u2019ve met who inspire them encourage them\u2026\u2026\nwhen working with Richard Evans, (producer & arranger for many artists including Natalie Cole, Peabo Bryson, & Ramsey Lewis & now a Professor at Berklee College of Music), he recognizes their talents & tells them how well they sing;\nwhen they not only perform in front of Tom Chapin, but he asks them to join him on stage & sing a song with him;\nwhen sound engineer James Hodgkins, (\"Uncle Wiz\"), of James Hodgkins Audio Productions tells them that they are the best singers he\u2019s ever had in his studio;\nwhen Dave Plank,(\u201cPlanky\u201d- Patsy Kline\u2019s music coach), tells them after their show at Haycreek Fall Festival, \u201cThat was a great show. You harmonize beautifully together & coming from me that means a lot\u201d;\nwhen the 2 people they admire the most- their older brother, Professional Percussionist Brian Holt, and their older sister, Professional Flautist and Piccolo Player Wendy Holt Schmehl, support them.\nAnd then there are all the friends & fans who love their music & the people who tell them that they\u2019re playing music now too because as a child they were inspired by watching The Holt Twins perform.\nThese are the things that matter & the things that make life worth living & songs worth singing.\nJoining them for TwinSister are 2 talented musicians.\nRich Arteca, a lead guitarist & acoustic guitarist from Long Island, NY, has been with TwinSister since 1977 & has co-written some of their songs; Jimmy Reed makes the band complete with his showmanship & expertise in drumming. He comes with much experience including being in a band that toured with Cinderella and Poison back in the '80's. And sometimes their daughter, Charmaine, joins them to add some extra harmonies with her beautiful voice. The Drummer for The TwinSister Album \"Fallen Butterfly\" is the very talented Troy Lupold.(he is also the male vocal on \"The Star\") Another talented drummer, Kevin Artz, is the drummer on \"This Memory\".\nTwinSister, (formerly \"Image\"), is not just another Rock and Roll Act, but a Classic Rock Show Band who can play flawless Originals and timeless Classics from bands such as Heart, Pat Benatar, The Who, Jethro Tull, Led Zeppelin, etc....\nThey are are a multitalented identical act with not one, but two female vocalists who play not one, but several different instruments. Their music is a production of classy, kickin' rock songs & acoustic songs sung with strong, harmonious, female vocals using a variety of instruments with double leads.\nTwinSister with it's special brand of \"Twin Rock\" has entertained fans on the east coast in Rock and Roll Clubs, Teen Clubs, Campgrounds, Universities, the major shore points of New Jersey, and throughout the Midwest.\nThey were nominated for \"Best Rock Band\", \"Best Easy Listening Band\", & \"Best Folk Band\" in the Indie Music Channel Awards\" 6 years in a row for their songs \"Missing The Turn\", \"Dorothy\", \"The Star\", \"This Memory\", \"Where Are We Now\", & \"The Poet\".

        "raw_content": "We are a professional custom design bicycle company based in Jacksonville, North Carolina. You have a team that works for you to deliver a great bike. Our bicycles have panache. You can go crazy with color or go all black. If you\u2019re spending thousands of dollars on a bicycle and your well-being, you shouldn\u2019t settle for the mass-produced paint jobs and stock components. No one ever likes seeing someone else with the same bike on a group ride or race. With us, you will never have that problem.\nWhat Makes a Kane, a Kane?\nBike Design \u2013 Similar to almost every other bicycle company in the U.S., we work with our partners in Asia to determine our geometries, carbon lay up and construction, design, etc, but ultimately, we have the final say about our frames. They are designed by us for us.\nPainting \u2013 Your frame is prepared, painted, and finished in North Carolina, U.S.A.\nAssembly \u2013 Unlike most of our competitors, we receive our Kane frames in their raw states (not painted). They are never pre-assembled with components or parts. All assembly is done in-house.\nRestorations \u2013 We bring frames back to life.\nCarbon Repair \u2013 We\u2019ve been involved with carbon since the \u201980s.\nOur Bikes have Stories. Our customers write them. We work alongside you to create your unique custom painted bicycle and configure your bike to meet your component needs. We do this through superior attention to detail from the frame selection all the way to the type of tire. Jack has over 39 years of industry experience and knowledge. Thus, he has worked with our partners to design a superb and work-horse ready line of carbon, integrated carbon/aluminum, and aluminum bikes. Like you, our bikes are unique. Embrace your Uniqueness. Ride a Kane.\nJack has been building and painting frames for people since the 1970s, but it wasn\u2019t until his son, Jonathan, put a bug in his ear to branch out. In 2001, Jack Kane Custom Racing Bicycles was officially born.\nKane Bicycles isn\u2019t just for the racer. We\u2019re geared towards everyone; the causal road rider through the professional racer. We all ride for our own reasons and we aim to make your experience exceptional. We thrive on superior performance and durability. Thus, we have garnered a lot of attention over the years from our sponsorship of U.S. cycling teams. Through our sponsorships and customer satisfaction, Kane Bikes steadily grew in prominence.\nWe have made a name for ourselves due to the quality of our machines, but have separated ourselves from other companies due to the artistry of Jack\u2019s professional custom bicycle painting and designing. No two of our bikes are the same.",

Technology and social media are the new drugs of our generation and I am totally addicted. I'm right there with you.

Oh, but the procrastination never stopped there... Multiple that situation for two weeks... and I'd have five loads of laundry piled so high in the laundry bin, that I couldn't pick it up without socks, shirts, you name it, falling out\nLet's get real, body image is a chronic struggle for most of us. This quote \"Change the dress to fit your body. Don't change your body to fit the dress,\" represents that constant inner struggle between figuring out how to love yourself and how not to hate yourself. \"Hating\" yourself, is when you try to cut corners, find that quick fix, push your limits too far, and treat your body unfairly because of what you want to \u201clook\" like in a dress. However, loving yourself focuses on how you feel,\n\u200b Are you sitting there with a big wish list for your life?

Fiona\u2019s mother was diagnosed in August 2014 and died just four months later.\nFiona had never run a marathon before, and training was much tougher than she expected. David, on the other hand, is a keen runner but considered it to be one of his biggest challenges to date.\nThey joined over a hundred other runners as part of BLF\u2019s #TeamBreathe marathon running team.\nFiona said: \u201cMy mum\u2019s IPF progressed so quickly. I\u2019d never even heard of the condition before her diagnosis and needed to know more. The British Lung Foundation\u2019s website was the biggest source of information for me leading up to her death. It helped me understand what IPF was, and what I could expect.\u201d\nDavid added: \u201cI hope the money we raised helps to make more treatments available to improve and save lives.\u201d\nTo support the couple visit their fundraising pages at: http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/FionaBenham and http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/DavidBenham.\nIf you\u2019ve been inspired by Fiona and David\u2019s story and want to raise money for the BLF you can visit www.blf.org.uk/fundraising, email events@blf.org.uk or call 020 7078 7912.",

        "raw_content": "[the death of romance and a modern design]\nWhen I was 19, I had a variety of odd jobs while I figuring out my skills. One of them was working in a florist for a while. Mainly big events over a 3 day period, such as Valentine's and Mother's Day.\nObviously, I'm not really into retail any more, or floristry as a passion for that matter, though I do love to shop and adore flowers of all kinds. Given the opportunity and the expendable income, I would probably cover my home in flowers on a weekly basis; gerberas and daisies, orchids and sunflowers, and lots of the classics - roses and chrysanthemums.\nThe best Valentine's I've ever had, to this day, was the year I worked in that florist. As someone in a committed relationship, that may be hard to believe on principle, but I'll get to that.\nSurrounded by thousands of roses, coloured paper and ribbons of every shade you can think of, it was magical. I worked like a dervish, whirling from one task to the next; cutting, bundling, wrapping and ribboning hundreds of bunches, buckets and pots of flowers, ending every day smelling like a wild garden and waking up the same way, no matter how long I soaked in the tub. It was wonderful.\nBy nature, I'm a pretty practical person. I don't always know the right answer or make the right decision, but I like to think I base my decisions on a considered approach. Which makes me sound awfully dull, but my idea of spontaneity is very much around calculated risk. As I've gotten older, my calculations have gotten better, and the risks therefore lower. It's not that I don't do exciting, I just like to know what I'm getting myself into first.\nOn that note, I'm not great with surprises. Chocolates, little presents, flowers - sure. Random holidays, new people in my home, massive purchases like cars or houses - no. Absolutely not. No, I'm not keen on a sudden trip to a remote island to get drunk for a week. Weekend away in the Hunter? Maybe. Afternoon high tea in the city? Absolutely.\nSee where I'm going with this? If you can, bear with me a little longer and I'll get to the point...\nNot too deep down, surprisingly perhaps, I'm a romantic. I want the fairytale. I want to be the princess in a beautiful dress who goes on amazing adventures. I want magical creatures, daring feats, and wonderful feasts by firelight. It would nice if there was a princess or prince to share the adventures with me, but that's never really been a big deal. It's always been about the lure of faraway places, lush gardens, and glorious lights to follow into the forest.\nYou know what Valentine's Day has become? A cardboard cut-out of the above. A staged affair with a very bad cast, sub-standard props and an overly expensive location that never feels comfortable. And you get to pay a fortune for the privilege of interacting with this charade, which may or may not end well, depending on your expectations.\nNow before you give up on this post in disgust, thinking I'm a dreadful grinch, let me clarify; the key here is your expectations.\nValentine's is fraught with the highest of expectations that no amount of romance, short of the actual fairytale proposal, can ever live up to. And by the way, the first time I was proposed to was on a Valentine's day and no, it wasn't that great, even with the picnic by the water. He didn't have a ring, which considering how he turned out, was the least of my disappointments.\nRomance has never been a difficult thing for me, either alone or with someone. I find sunlight on a cold morning romantic. Flowers in the rain, music at midnight, cuddles when I'm sleepy. All these things warm my heart and make me feel all fuzzy.\nBut I can't feel romance on command. And expecting myself to just makes me feel sad, disappointed and generally makes my partner feel less than average too.\nOverly sickening greeting cards, ludicrously priced food, and expensive gifts do not a romantic interlude make. Don't get me wrong, I have bought something rather elegant for my beloved this year, but it's a gift I have been thinking on for a while, and an occasion to remind me hadn't arisen until now.\nExpectation kills romance faster than a cold shower. The cab is late, my hair is a mess, the food was rubbish, the service worse. This suit cost more than dinner, and I'm still not getting laid. Her/his friends are here and I haven't got anything to say. His/her teeth are crooked and how did I not notice that before? Is this as good as it's going to get and is she/he really not going to get a dessert??\nAnd on and on AND ON it goes. It used to be me who felt the pressure. But I gave it up around the age of 26. Feeding my anxieties instead of my ego started to wear on me, so I just let it go.\nI went on an anti-Valentine's fun campaign - singles events, social dinners, walks, you name it. And you know, my expectations got lower. If I had fun, it was fun. It was that simple. The process took quite a while to work into my consciousness, but once the decision was made, it was done.\nUnderstand, I still feel a little weird now whenever the day rolls around, but that's not me, that's the social expectation. There again - expectations.\nToday, I still have expectations, I'm still the romantic. I'm still the princess looking for adventure. But I know that romance and adventure aren't all the things you see in magazines or on tv. Expecting one particular day to be the most wondrous experience ever is only going to end in disappointment.\nSometimes it does happen on the day. Sometimes, the stars align and the moment is right, and everything just shimmers with glitter and gold. That happens when you don't expect it. Trust me. And that day is almost always NOT Valentine's Day.\nReal romance died a long time ago, and in a day and age where a text message is considered the height of communication, we ain't ever getting it back. So it's time to take a modern approach and start going back to basics with a twist.\nSkype, for example, is exempt for that exact reason. If your love is far away on a day where the city around you is covered in flowers and bows, you can't help but feel sad and lonely. And in the age where technology has created a way for us to be close to our loved ones even at great physical distance, I can't help but be grateful.\nSadly, the line between convenience and laziness has blurred; technology, consumerism and our inability to take five damn minutes out to relax has made us complacent when it comes to romance. Buying a bunch of flowers or an expensive watch on one random day does not make up for phoning-it-in for the rest of the relationship.\nIf you one of the lucky ones like me, then this doesn't happen to you much. I get a call or a message every day asking how I am and what's happening in my day. Treats are brought to me on a regular basis, and I like to take my sweetheart to breakfast or lunch at least once a week. We hold hands and I get told how amazing I am. When I'm tired, my feet get rubbed, many cups of tea are made, and cuddles are plentiful.\nGagging yet? Feel free. But this is our idea of romance. We constantly like to express our awe at each other and have no reservations about telling each other how proud we are.\nDon't worry, it's not all rose-tinted glasses. We get annoyed at each other and have disagreements like every one else. But here's the thing, the thing that makes us seem like the ultimate \u00fcber smug couple; we really, really, REALLY enjoy the romance when it happens. Our romance. The story of how we got together (again*) is beyond unbelievably sweet, and still makes us both smile. We take time out to just be happy about getting to spend time together at our favourite places. We do all the little things that the other enjoys, purely because we know they enjoy it.\nRomance is work people. It doesn't come wrapped in a box or stolen in a magic spell, and if it did I'd stop doing it. Real things are worked for, and for everything given something should be taken in return. That's why it hurts so much when you give your heart away - the universe is only adjusting the balance for what you're going to get back.\nAll the flowers in the world couldn't make me feel romantic. It's always who gives them to me and they way they do it. Even if I get them for myself to make my day brighter. A box of chocolates is just so much sugar, unless it's left by your bed or given when you're not feeling the best. Are we understanding my point yet?\nDon't be down on Valentine's Day. Don't suddenly go all guerilla on your partner and accuse them of only being romantic when there's the expectation. Do start thinking about what romance is for you and do that.\nIf you prefer your romance to be shared, start making the effort yourself, take it upon yourself to get the ball rolling between you. I learned that lesson the hard way; your lover does not have ESP, and the more passive-aggressive pressure you put on them to be romantic, the worse it gets. For you.\nOn the other hand, if, like me, you're not fussed where the romance comes from - be it movies, flowers, walks in the rain, a good book or a favourite song - for goodness' sake, do the same! Make the effort to connect romantically anyway; just because you aren't fussed, doesn't mean your lover isn't.\nAnd just in case you thought I'd forgotten about all those unattached peoples, the same absolutely applies to you too. Romance is not reserved purely for the loved-up. Don't buy into all Valentine's Day bullshit and start to think yourself into a puddle. Romance is about the warmth in your heart and the feeling of beauty for your soul. A quiet, warm bath and a bottle of bubbly are just as good alone as shared. Hell, I tend to do this alone as I don't like to share!\nHopefully, you get my meaning here. I don't hate Valentine's day. I'm just entirely uninspired by the modern version.\nLadies and gentlemen, let's bring old-fashioned romance back. And no one gender should be solely responsible for that. Let's be modern and proactive and think like we mean business. And that business is beauty and love and good vibes.\nThis Valentine's Day be romantic, but not because you have to or because you are expected to - do it because you want to. Then keep doing it.\nGood Life: OneRepublic\nWhen you're happy like a fool, Let it take you over, When everything is out, You gotta take it in...\n*My partner and I were each other's first sweetheart in high school. We dated for about five minutes, then he broke my heart. We saw each other again in our early 20's, then I broke his heart.\nThen, years later, when I'd not been anywhere we'd ever been or seen anyone we'd ever seen, I had a dream about him. The next day I looked him up, we went for coffee, and here we are.\nIt didn't start out as a great romance, in fact it didn't start out romantic at all. We made it that way. Because, in the end, that's how happily ever afters are made.",

        "raw_content": "I was twenty seven years old three years ago when I received a diagnosis of stage four metastatic multiple melanoma, which brought on a flood of emotions and fears.\nI have a husband and three wonderful children who are ages 12, 7, and 5. My husband and children are my life\u2019s work and I could not imagine not being there for them, a struggle made even more difficult by my father dying of colon cancer just two years earlier. I have a strong faith in God and knew that with His help my family and I would get through these challenges.\nI received the standard treatments for my disease - surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, but new tumors kept appearing, requiring that I seek out additional treatment in the form of clinical trials. After spending much time on my in computer in 2016, my aunt and I were able to locate a clinical trial being conducted at a hospital in Houston. However, the trial required that I come to Houston from my home in San Antonio every other week, a distance over several hundred miles. This required a five hour trip in the car or an expensive flight. Since my husband is currently unemployed, the expense of participating in the clinical trial seemed overwhelming and virtually impossible. That is when the miracle of Lazarex Cancer Foundation came into our lives\nWith their help, I was able to eliminate the financial strain of participating in the clinical trials in Houston, which was my last shot at beating back the disease long enough for me to regain the hope of continuing to be with my family. Lazarex has paid my hotel bills, provided the costs of transportation, whether by car or by air, and has been a constant support throughout these many struggles. Clearly, they have lifted the weight of financial burden of my disease from my back, allowing me to concentrate having the courage to withstand the physical challenges that I must overcome.\nSince I began the trials in 2016 I have had an amazing recovery. A number of the tumors have disappeared, and energy and hope have returned to my life. I am able to attend my daughter\u2019s volleyball games, and my son\u2019s little league contests. While my doctors do not tell me that there is an end date for my participation in the trials, the fact that I seem to be benefiting from them gives me hope that God has heard my prayers and those of my family. I truly appreciate the continued assistance that the Lazarex Cancer Foundation has provided me.\nI express my heartfelt gratitude to those who contribute financially to their wonderful work.",

        "title": "Trump Administration Announces Rescission of DACA Program - Leech Tishman: Legal Services",
        "raw_content": "On September 5, 2017, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced that the Department of Homeland Security (\u201cDHS\u201d) would begin steps to terminate the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (\u201cDACA\u201d). DACA was a form of prosecutorial discretion that was created via executive action by President Obama in 2012 to provide immigration benefits to undocumented immigrants who arrived to the United States as children. If eligible, applicants received work authorization and a reprieve from potential deportation for a two-year period, which was subject to renewal.\nIn a press release issued by the DHS, Attorney General Sessions recommended that DACA be terminated based on his determination that DACA was \u201can unconstitutional exercise of authority by the Executive Branch.\u201d Based on pending litigation involving the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents program (\u201cDAPA\u201d), another executive action announced by President Obama in 2014, DHS determined that a six-month wind-down of the program would be the \u201cleast disruptive option,\u201d rather than facing an immediate injunction of the program in the courts.\nWhile 100 law professors disagree with Attorney General Sessions\u2019 legal analysis of the Constitutionality of the DACA program, it is clear that the announcement has raised questions of next steps for those who are currently protected by DACA. Additionally, fifteen states and the District of Columbia filed a lawsuit in the Eastern District of New York against the Administration to stop the rescission of DACA. President Donald Trump has indicated that is now up to Congress to enact a legislative solution to provide a more permanent solution to DACA holders.\nSince its inception in 2012, approximately 800,000 applicants have received DACA. In order to qualify for the program, applicants had to demonstrate:\nArrival in the United States before age 16,\nCurrent enrollment in school, graduation from school, receipt of a GED, or honorable discharge from the military,\nNo felonies or serious criminal records,\nMeeting other physical presence requirements,\nPayment of a $495 filing fee.\nAs part of the application process, applicants provided their home addresses, their parents\u2019 names and addresses, and other biographic information. Once approved, applicants received \u201cdeferred action,\u201d or a reprieve from removal, from the United States for two years, in addition to work authorization.\nThe DHS issued a memo and Frequently Asked Questions to provide specifics on the wind-down of DACA. The main points include:\nDHS will not accept any new applications for DACA after September 5, 2017\nCurrent DACA holders will retain their period of deferred action and work authorization until their expiration, indicated on their I-797 receipts and Employment Authorization Documents (\u201cEAD\u201d)\nThose with pending new and renewal DACA applications will continue to be processed\nIf a current DACA holder\u2019s deferred action or EAD card will expire before March 5, 2018, he or she must apply for a DACA and/or EAD renewal by October 5, 2017\nOnce a DACA holder\u2019s deferred action expires, he/ she can be subject to removal from the United States as he or she will be unlawfully present. He/she will also no longer be authorized to lawfully work.\nWhile U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (\u201cUSCIS\u201d), which processes DACA applications, will not \u201cproactively provide\u201d information to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (\u201cICE\u201d) for immigration enforcement, they may provide information about DACA recipients to ICE if the DACA holder \u201cposes a risk to national security or public safety\u201d or meets Notice to Appear criteria\nDHS will no longer accept new Form I-131 Advance Parole applications from DACA holders after September 5, 2017\nDACA applicants or holders with pending I-131 applications will have their I-131 cases closed and filing fees returned\nThose DACA holders whose deferred action or EAD will expire by March 5, 2018 should contact an immigration attorney immediately to file for a renewal before October 5, 2017. Additionally, those currently utilizing DACA should also consult with an immigration attorney as soon as possible to determine if another immigration benefit or status may apply to them. It is advisable that those DACA holders with advance parole should not leave the country before speaking with an immigration attorney. Finally, employers who have employees who benefited from DACA should also consult with an immigration attorney and an employment attorney to determine a course of action.\nIf you have any questions regarding DACA or immigration law updates, please contact Sharon Barney.

        "title": "Should Christians Be Involved In Politics \u2013 Part 2 - Faith & Politics",
        "raw_content": "Influence of God\u2019s People Throughout History\nIn my last post, I discussed the Christian foundations of America as well as a Biblical perspective on religion and politics. In this post, we will look at the influence of God\u2019s people throughout history as we attempt to find answers to questions such as, \u201cHas the political involvement (or lack thereof) of God-fearing people ever made a difference in the world?\u201d and, \u201cHas the decades-long battle for our culture (in America) been won or lost via politics or the pulpit?\u201d\nMoses was the first political leader of Israel and, not unlike our own founders, obtained his position through what some might label rebellion. Moses was not called to sit around and wait for God to drop an Egyptian pharaoh from heaven who would miraculously release Israel from slavery. During the American Revolution, Thomas Jefferson borrowed a statement from the First Book of Maccabees when he declared that, \u201cResistance to tyranny is obedience to God.\u201d That is precisely what Moses was called to when God sent him back to Egypt to confront Pharaoh. We know the story. Pharaoh resisted and God sent judgment on the land in the form of ten destructive plagues. After the final plague \u2013 the death of the first born \u2013 he finally relented. Make no mistake, Moses\u2019 showdown with Pharaoh was just as much a political battle as it was spiritual and if the book of Exodus occurred in our day, Moses would share in the criticism that befalls every 21st Century Christian who dares to take their faith with them into the political arena.\nOne of my favorite people from Bible history, Queen Esther, was a political heroine whose courage is rarely found today. She risked her life to confront the King and his right-hand man in order to resist a destructive political policy. Is that too simplistic for you? Consider the following:\nTo date in The United States alone, there have been approximately 60 million lives taken through abortion, a holocaust that continues because of the church\u2019s complacency in politics.\nAs was the case during much of World War II and the Bosnian genocide of the 90\u2019s, America\u2019s resistance to one of the worst genocides in history has been negligible at best. Meanwhile, ISIS has published kill lists on various encrypted websites targeting over 15,000 American Christians for death. While I do not believe that war is the answer (bombing Syria\u2019s airport effectively aligned us with ISIS \u2013 this is not a war we should be involved with), our nation should be working with private organizations like Mercury One to rescue those \u201cbeing led to slaughter\u201d in the Middle East.\nPolitical persecution of Bible-believing Christians in our country continues to grow at an alarming rate. There are some, especially among those who work in government, media and education, whose hatred of Christ-followers rivals the antisemitic hatred that fueled the rise of Hitler and the Nazi Party in pre World War II Germany.\nMost of the colonists came to America seeking to obey God and freely worship Him. The Mayflower Compact explained that the purpose of their settlement was, \u201c\u2026 for the Glory of God, and Advancement of the Christian Faith\u2026\u201d and The Articles of Confederation of the United Colonies of New England stated that their mutual goal was, \u201c\u2026 to advance the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ and to enjoy the liberties of the Gospel in purity with peace\u2026\u201d The Christian faith remained at the center of life in the colonies and their devotion to God, the scriptures and freedom was the driving force behind the American Revolution. In fact, Christian preachers were so embroiled in resisting the tyrannical government of their day that the British nicknamed them the black-robed regiment.\nAfter millennia of slavery as an accepted practice worldwide, it was Christians who were behind the abolitionist movements in both Britain and America. Most of the American slaves were Christians and virtually all of those involved in ending the practice were Christians. While some argue that our founders were slave owners and bad men, most of our founders opposed slavery and sought to abolish it in our Constitution, although they faced too much opposition from Southern states. Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Benjamin Rush, John Jay, Thomas Jefferson and many others all denounced slavery. Jefferson, despite smears by the Progressives, wanted to free his own slaves (which were inherited) but was unable to because of Virginia laws. He spent his whole career introducing laws and fighting to end slavery through political means and one of his most famous quotes, \u201cGod who gave us life gave us liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that His justice cannot sleep forever\u201d was spoken in regards to slavery. In Britain, William Wilberforce and Thomas Clarkson were devoted Christians who led the fight to end slavery in their country. Wilberforce said, \u201cGod Almighty has set before me two great objects, the suppression of the slave trade and the reformation of manners.\u201d\nSometimes, the political involvement of those who claim to serve God falls on the wrong side of history. Nazi Germany was one of those times. While there were many heroic followers of Christ who risked their own lives to oppose Hitler and save Jews and others, the majority of the church in Germany not only accepted Adolf Hitler, but welcomed him warmly as God\u2019s man. In his article, The Miracle of Hitler, Peter J. Leithart writes,\nUniversity of Erlangen theologian Paul Althaus reacted to the German election of 1933 with enthusiasm: \u201cOur Protestant churches have greeted the turning point of 1933 as a gift and miracle of God\u201d (all quotations from Robert Erickson, Complicity in the Holocaust). Althaus wasn\u2019t alone.\nA Protestant newspaper warned against finding faults with the Nazis: \u201cWe get no further if we get stuck on little things that might displease us, failing to value the great things God has done for our Volk through them [the Nazis]. Or was it perhaps not God but \u2018the old, evil enemy?\u2019 For humans alone have not done this, an entire Volk, or at least its largest part, raising itself up into a storm, breaking the spiritual chains of many years, wanting once again to be a free, honest, clean Volk. There are higher powers at work here. The \u2018evil enemy\u2019 does not want a clean Volk, he wants no religion, no church, no Christian schools; he wants to destroy all of that. But the National Socialist movement [Hitler] wants to build all this up, they have written it into their program. Is that not God at work?\u201d (41).\nThey proudly displayed swastikas on their church walls and turned a blind eye to the Holocaust while the remnant \u2013 the confessing church \u2013 was hiding Jewish people in their homes and risking everything for what was right.\nIn 1933, the Vatican signed the Concordat with Adolf Hitler. Under this agreement, clergy were required to refrain from participation in all political activities, including holding any political offices, and Bishops had to swear an oath of loyalty to the Third Reich. In exchange, the church was to receive some protections and funding from the state. As with the Protestants, there were some individual priests who opposed Hitler, but the majority of both branches of Christianity embraced Adolf Hitler.\nPolitics or the Pulpit?\nSince the foundations were laid, there has been an ongoing battle for the soul of America. Many smaller battles have been fought along the way. Some have been won and some have been lost, but I contend that the larger battle \u2013 the culture war if you will \u2013 has ended in a devastating defeat. America is now a bona fide mission field with just 0.5% of adults between the ages of 18 and 23 (today this group is 26-31) holding to a Biblical worldview according to a 2009 survey conducted by Barna Research (10% of all American adults hold a Biblical worldview, a statistic that has remained the same since 1995 \u2013 a reflection of why we are where we are today). But, was the war lost in the political realm or the pulpit? I believe the answer is both. We have lost the war because of our failure to integrate politics and the pulpit the way our founders did.\nJohn Peter Gabriel Muhlenberg (1747-1807) Pennsylvania Marble by Blanche Nevin Given in 1889 Crypt U.S. Capitol\nDuring the revolutionary period in America, civic and religious life were indistinguishable from one another. Colonial preachers did not shy away from political issues of the day, many even preaching sermons concerning the evils of the British empire and why there should be revolution. As I mentioned earlier, these preachers were referred to by the British army as the \u201cblack-robed regiment,\u201d so great was their influence in the war \u2013 pastors such as Peter Muhlenberg, who preached one Sunday from\nEcclesiastes 3, ending with the declaration, \u201cThere is a time for all things, a time to preach and a time to pray, but those times have passed away. There is a time to fight, and that time has now come,\u201d as he removed his clerical robes to reveal the military uniform he was wearing underneath, walked to the back of the church and asked, \u201cWho among you is with me?\u201d Jonas Clark, the pastor of the church in Lexington, (where the first shots of the American Revolutionary War were fired) was another pastor who unashamedly preached about political issues from the pulpit. On the night that the British planned to begin the confiscation of the colonists\u2019 guns and capture Samuel Adams and John Hancock, the two men happened to be visiting Rev. Clark, whose home had become a regular meeting place. The Providence Foundation records the story this way (emphasis mine)\u2026\nThe most historic band of minutemen was led by Deacon Parker under the auspices of Rev. Jonas Clark. Clark was pastor of a church in Lexington, Massachusetts. Since the struggle over the Stamp Act in 1765, this clergyman had become this town\u2019s principal leader in its town meetings and issues of liberty and government. Almost every crucial state paper written to represent this town was authored by Jonas Clark. His home was a frequent meeting place for men like Samuel Adams and John Hancock when safe locations could not be assured inside Boston. Such was the case on the night of April 18th, 1775. Adams and Hancock were visiting for the night, unaware that the British had decided to send troops to Lexington to destroy the town\u2019s military supplies and capture these two men. One of Clark\u2019s house guests asked him on that night if the Lexington people would fight if necessary. Clark, who had laid a solid foundation concerning the duty of self-defense of inalienable rights for years through his sermons, responded confidently: \u201cI have trained them for this very hour!\u201d Clark had prepared this people so well in the Scriptures as they related to the issues of the day, that the first shots of the entire war were providentially selected to be fired on his church lawn.\nThe colonists did not separate politics from their faith, but instead recognized that the Christian faith is one that should consume every area of a person\u2019s life. American Christians are no longer so committed to their faith, instead allocating to Jesus the roll of Savior but not Lord of their lives. In so doing, we have lost many small battles that have culminated in our present situation. Some of those battles were lost because of our silence and some were lost because we were on the wrong side, aligning ourselves with wickedness in the name of expediency, not unlike Jehoshaphat, the righteous king of Judah who aligned himself with King Ahab against Syria. The Lord\u2019s rebuke of King Jehoshaphat for this alliance as sent through Jehu should be a warning to the church today:\n\u201cThen Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned safely to his house in Jerusalem. And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to King Jehoshaphat, \u2018Should you help the wicked and love those who hate the Lord? Therefore the wrath of the Lord is upon you.\u2019\u201d\n2 Chronicles 19:2, NKJV\nAt the beginning of the 20th century, the church became an arm of the new Progressive movement in America, willingly aligning itself with a movement that inflicted our nation with such evils as abortion and segregation. Two of the pillars of Progressivism were Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson were both heralded by their followers as great Christian leaders (and are to this day). Both men, however, were believers in eugenics and replacing God (and the individual liberty that our founders believed were a gift from Him) with the state in power and reverence and Wilson was an extreme racist who re-instituted segregation and supported the Ku Klux Klan. (See: Letter by Theodore Roosevelt to Charles Davenport; 10 Widely Admired People Who Supported Eugenics; The Evil Legacy of Teddy and Woodrow; Liars: How Progressives Exploit Our Fear For Power And Control; and Top 10 Most Racist Quotes from Progressive Hero Woodrow Wilson.)\nFor one hundred years, more often than not, the church has been on the wrong side, aligning itself \u2013 whether out of naivet\u00e9 or as willing participants \u2013 with wicked people, wolves in sheep\u2019s clothing and when the majority of the American church was not on the wrong side, we were silent, afraid of losing our tax exemptions if we dared to speak out against evil. Because of all of this, the Progressive\u2019s one-hundred year plan has succeeded and the fundamental transformation of America (initiated by Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson and carried on by people such as FDR, Lyndon Johnson, George W. Bush and Barack Obama) is near completion. We no longer live in the nation that was designed by our God-fearing founders, but are now under a soft tyranny, dependent upon and in servitude to the state rather than God.\nIf we want to get our culture back we must first follow Acts 17:11 and search the scriptures daily to find out if what we are being told by pastors on television, the radio and even in our own churches is true \u2013 not in rebellion or an unwillingness to be under spiritual authority, but in the spirit of taking responsibility for our own relationship with God and the health of our souls. Then, we must apply that principle and stand up and stop allowing ourselves to be manipulated and used for sinister purposes by the powers that be and instead read and research and seek out the truth and what the Bible has to say about every political leader and every issue. This is how our founding fathers obtained freedom for themselves and their posterity. They did not depend on anyone else to shape their opinions, but searched continually for truth (not their own truth but actual, absolute truth) and did not hesitate to sacrifice their lives, fortunes and sacred honor to defend it. Judgment begins at the house of God and perhaps part of that judgment is the bondage that comes at the hands of being content in dependency rather than enduring the price of liberty.",

        "raw_content": "\"Cupid Shot Me\" in 1991\nActually Cupid shot me years before but it wasn\u2019t until 91\u2019 when I realized this wasn\u2019t infatuation but love. I first met Ed when I was thirteen, or so. He was four years older than me so his interest in me was slim to none. A few years later, I still thought he was cute and started to \u201cchase\u201d him. This is my mother and sister-in-laws\u2019 descriptive of my pursuit. At fifteen, Ed of course is still four years older than me but my parents would let us do things as a group. Miniature golf, the movies, and heading off to the beach with at least three to four other people were classified as \u201cgoing out\u201d. A phrase that in itself makes me laugh, we didn\u2019t really go anywhere, and we were never alone.\nFast forward a few years. A college sophomore, no serious boyfriend and I learn Ed has been assigned to leave for Desert Storm. My heart falls to my knees. Of course we haven\u2019t seen each other in a couple years yet I had already told a couple of my friends (at age 15), \u201cI\u2019m going to marry that Ed Buske character.\u201d Everyone laughed except Von who responded with, \u201cWhen do you plan on telling him?\u201d We both laughed. It was this same friend who delivered the news Ed was leaving the following week. He can\u2019t die; he is going to be the father of my children!\nBy the time I worked up the nerve to stop at his house and see him before he left, he was already gone. Von got his address for me and I sat down and drafted him one long letter. The biggest shock, he wrote back! And we continued to write for his entire tour, with each of these letters snuggly tucked away in the attic. Shh\u2026he saved all of mine too! I saw them one day when I was organizing the attic; with tears I tucked them back in his duffle. He is a secret romantic.\nEd returned home safely and for our first date we went to the Oswego movie theater and then walked at Breitbeck Park. We talked, laughed, and simply held each other\u2019s hand all night. It was great. Heidi adored him and said one day we would have a daughter \u201cjust like her\u201d. Ugh\u2026 The rest as they say\u2026is history.\nToday\u2019s song was the one his sister sang for us at our wedding. And yes, we do live in a little house, lol, and we wouldn\u2019t have it any other way.",

        "raw_content": "Your home is probably full of bugs: study\nJosh Sherman Jan 26, 2016\nPhoto: Matt Bertone\nThere are uninvited guests crashing at your house, and they likely number in the hundreds or more.\nAs part of a University of North Carolina study, researchers combed 50 detached homes within 30 miles of state capital Raleigh for arthropods, invertebrates that can be identified by their exoskeletons, segmented bodies and jointed limbs.\nTheir findings were recently published in academic journal PeerJ, and it\u2019s not recommended reading for the squeamish.\nThe search turned up 579 different kinds of arthropods, with flies, spiders, beetles, ants and book lice among the most popular.\nIn all, researchers collected close to 10,000 samples both living and dead, averaging out to about 200 per home and only five of the 554 rooms didn\u2019t yield any arthropods.\n\u201cWe basically used forceps, tweezers, and aspirators, which are little devices to suck up insects without getting them in your mouth,\u201d explains Matthew Bertone, a University of North Carolina entomologist, and lead author of the scholarly paper.\n\u201cA few times we had to use an insect net to catch a flying insect, but it wasn\u2019t too often, luckily,\u201d he adds.\nArmed with these tools, as well as knee pads and flashlights, Bertone and others spent two to three hours at each home from May to October 2012.\nNone of the homes looked like a hoarder\u2019s dwelling, nor were any \u201csparkling clean,\u201d says Bertone. \u201cThese were all fairly typical homes,\u201d says Bertone.\nAlmost all of the creepy crawlers Bertone and his team came across were harmless \u2014 almost.\nA black widow found in an unfinished basement crawlspace, but that was the only \u201cdangerously venomous\u201d arthropod uncovered. \u201cUnless you count wasps and bees that can cause\u2026 allergic reactions,\u201d Bertone adds.\nNearly every spider is venomous, same with house centipedes, the researcher says, but these don\u2019t pose much of a threat to their human landlords.\n\u201cIt\u2019s really more that they are dangerous to other arthropods and really not dangerous to us,\u201d Bertone explains.\nThe household expeditions resulted in some uncommon finds. \u201cWe found a few types of insects that are either very rarely encountered or that I had never seen specimens captured anywhere.\u201d\nThe telephone pole beetle is perhaps most notable due to its unique reproductive biology. \u201cThey have babies that can have babies,\u201d as Bertone puts it.\nBertone believes there\u2019s a wealth of knowledge to be gleaned from this study.\n\u201cFor instance, why are some groups of arthropods well adapted to humans\u2026 but their close relatives are found only outdoors and really don\u2019t establish in homes?\u201d he asks. \u201cIs there something they\u2019ve evolved to, some adaptation to living in homes?\u201d\nHe also hopes to bring the word \u201carthropod\u201d to the mainstream. \u201cIt\u2019s a good way to describe all these many-legged critters and creatures,\u201d he says. \u201cThey are a very diverse group.\u201d\nBertone says the real number of arthropods in homes could be much higher than the 10,000 he and his colleagues found.\n\u201cWe just collected for diversity, rather than abundance,\u201d he explains. Researchers also didn\u2019t check behind walls, under floorboards, or down pipes.\n\u201cMany of the specimens we collected had come in from outdoors,\u201d says Bertone, who points out \u201ca lot\u201d of them were dead upon discovery.\n\u201cWe do get a lot of accidental intruders, or guests \u2014 whatever you feel like calling them,\u201d he adds.\nNot every region has the same bugs flying, crawling, and slithering around outside, but many of the hardier arthropods that can survive inside homes in North Carolina are found in other regions, so the study can provide some insight into household populations elsewhere.\n\u201cWe all have similar things,\u201d says Bertone. Citing a common house centipede, he explains, \u201cPeople in Colorado and people in Canada and people in Texas will all be familiar with that, because it does spend its time indoors and doesn\u2019t really care about the outdoor environment.\u201d\nIt\u2019s difficult to say right now what factors led to one home having more arthropods than another, but a survey should help give an idea.\nParticipating households were asked to fill out a form that asks things like how often windows are left open at home, what temperature they keep their home at, and whether or not they have plants or pets.\n\u201cOne of our future studies is to take this data and look at all the variables, either based on the physical aspects of the home or people\u2019s behaviors,\u201d says Bertone.\n\u201cWe really haven\u2019t crunched that data yet, because it\u2019s really complex.\u201d\nIf anyone can make sense of it, a group of academics who spent months searching for (and counting) approximately 10,000 bugs probably has a pretty good shot.",

That's usually what people mean when they say love, unfortunately. Not that there's anything wrong with romantic love. I like romantic love. One might even say I love it. But it is far from the only form of love that exists. And it is also, I daresay, not necessarily the most important. There is love in friendship and family. If there wasn't, they wouldn't be worth much. I DIGRESS. So I'm going to reword this question. \"If forced to give up one, which would you choose: romance, friendship, or family?\" My first instinct is to say romance. Even now, five months into marriage with a hard-working man, I see romance as mostly expendable. But the problem is that I don't see MY romance as expendable. Now that I have been with him for 4+ years, I could never give up my relationship with T. However, in order for that relationship to function at its best, I feel like I also need family, which for me, mostly means my parents. Especially as a newlywed, I need their input and grounding influence. I also feel that good friends are necessary for a successful romantic relationship, for many of the same reasons. Not to mention the issue of balance. It's really not to healthy to focus all your time and energy on only one relationship to the exclusion of all others.\ncoloursdyed\nLove. I can live without it. It's a nice thought, but I don't need it. I've already come to accept the fact I won't ever settle down and marry.\nFamily. In all honesty. They've never really been there for me. and Ive had so many good friends that were more of a family to me than my family would ever be. and my love...I could never let her go.\nIf I was forced to choose between the three, I would choose to lose my Family 'couse most of the times, relatives are so fucking annoying. I would never choose to lose my love 'cause, as the song says \"He said to lose my life or lose my LOVE that's the nightmare I've been running from\" and the same goes for my friends because sometimes, friends can offer you more support than your family ever could try to.\nyunjaeaktf\nkmccully took my answer. :)\naxel_emerion\nAs sad as it is, hands down I would give up family. My father doesn't care about me, and keeping friendship would allow me to keep my relationship with my mother - we're friends, rather than mother and daughter.\nWithout love, I wouldn't be able to feel any sort of attachment to my friends; I love each and every one of my true friends very dearly, and wouldn't give them up for the world.\nWithout friendship, I wouldn't be alive today. It's as simple as that.\nWithout family... well, I wouldn't be missing much. I don't really have much of one anyway - I spend all my free time locked in my room, or outside away from society, at least when I'm not with my beloved friends.\neater_of_light\nAny choice I made would give me all three, as they are an indivisible whole in my life, an interlocking trinity. They simply go hand in hand with each other. My immediate family are my dearest friends, whom I love and who love me in return.",

        "title": "How to Finally Finish That Novel | Live Write Thrive",
        "raw_content": "How to Finally Finish That Novel\nToday\u2019s guest post is by multipublished author and writing instructor Cathy Yardley:\nAre you a closet fiction writer? Have you been playing around with a story for months\u2014maybe years\u2014but you just can\u2019t seem to get it on paper? Or have you been trying to complete it, only to get sidetracked and stall out, time after time? In my experience, most resistance to writing a novel falls into the four following camps:\n\u201cI don\u2019t have the time to write.\u201d\nIf you\u2019re like most closet fiction writers, you\u2019ve got a day job, a family, a busy social life. If you have been hesitant to identify yourself as a novelist, writing and finishing your story probably takes a back seat to the other pressing concerns in your life. You may feel guilty spending time on something that seems so \u201cselfish.\u201d Or you might simply reach the end of each day wondering where the time went.\nQuick solution: For one week, track your time. I had a coaching client do this exercise and she discovered she was spending literally seventy hours a week in the office! See what you\u2019re committing to, and where you might be wasting time. Then, look at what you can pare back, and when you can get some pages done. Until you set some definite time to write, it won\u2019t happen.\n\u201cI\u2019m too exhausted to write.\u201d\nThis issue is closely related to the time issue. If you\u2019ve overcommitted yourself to the point of exhaustion, not writing may be the least of your issues. You may be headed for burnout without realizing it. A different client felt disappointed in herself for not completing her novel. Then she realized that she was taking care of two small children while working a day job\u2014she was on the go from six a.m. to almost midnight. Of course she was too exhausted by the end of the day!\nQuick solution: Take a realistic view of your commitments and schedule. Cut back on things that you don\u2019t need, or don\u2019t enjoy, even if it means some unpleasant confrontations. Come up with some compromises, or delegate. Most importantly, create dedicated time for replenishment. Even if it seems to take time away from writing, it will refill your creative well\u2014which means you\u2019ll write more effectively even if you have less time to spend. Many students take a week off before getting back to their projects after doing these exercises, only to find the words flow much more freely after they take some time to rest and reconnect with why they liked the story in the first place.\n\u201cWhen I try to write, I can\u2019t.\u201d\nThis is fear, also known as \u201cwriter\u2019s block.\u201d It\u2019s the most prevalent and pernicious of the obstacles to completing a novel, often disguising itself in time wasting and overbooking. Whether this fear manifests as avoiding writing entirely, polishing the same scene fifty times but never completing anything, or even simply staring at the blank page, it needs to be addressed before you can complete a novel.\nQuick solution: There is no true \u201cquick\u201d solution, but there are techniques that will help you work around fears that lock up your creativity and writing drive.\nJournal: Use a meditative state to write out what you\u2019re really afraid of\u2014and what the payoff is for not writing. Then see if there\u2019s a way you can compromise, to get the writing done without the fear stopping you. For example, if you\u2019re afraid to write because you think people will judge you, write down the negative consequences for not writing (beating yourself up for not finishing, being driven crazy by the story idea, etc.) and then come up with a solution and affirmations that helps ease the fear. For example: \u201cI will only let people that I trust will be kind read it first. I\u2019ll go slowly. I just want to get the book done. I can always fix it in revisions.\u201d\nUse Write or Die: This online or desktop application encourages you to write without focusing on your internal critic by using negative reinforcement: every time you stop typing, either your monitor will glow red, an annoying sound will start playing, or (in \u201ckamikaze\u201d mode) your words will actually start being erased.\nJoin an accountability group:There are plenty of online groups to check in with, although I find a face-to-face group especially helpful. If you swap work, just the accountability of people expecting pages is usually enough to keep you typing. Just make sure they are compassionate and encouraging\u2014if you\u2019ve got fear issues, now is not the time for a tough-love boot camp.\nParticipate in something like National Novel Writing Month: This provides a game-like, competitive aspect, as well as group support and accountability. It also celebrates completion rather than perfection.\nGet a \u201ccrazy check\u201d from a beta reader: When you are frozen by fear, you\u2019ve lost all perspective. Handing it off to someone whose opinion you trust will help give you some space and some useful feedback and prevent you from blowing your concerns out of proportion.\n\u201cI have no idea what to do with all these notes.\u201d\nMaybe you have a jumble of thrilling scenes, snippets of wonderful dialogue, and sketches of fantastic characters, but you have no idea how to transform those random pieces into a coherent storyline. You\u2019ve got the time, the energy, and the motivation, but no direction. This suggests you have a problem with your process. Maybe you haven\u2019t finished a novel before, so you\u2019re in uncharted territory. Or maybe you simply haven\u2019t identified a system for writing that works for you.\nQuick solution: Write out your plot points. You may recoil from the idea of writing a full scene outline, thinking that you\u2019ll lose all the fun of discovery if you know how everything\u2019s going to turn out. That said, unless you at least have the structure of the character development and an escalating conflict, you\u2019re going to have a tough time compiling your bits and pieces of a novel into a compelling whole. Just writing down the major turning points will give you something to aim for and confidence that your story is structurally sound, while still providing you with plenty of room for exploration and surprise.\nWrite that novel this year\nThere is no feeling like finishing a novel.

That\u2019s one part busy schedule and one part ongoing health issues that can zap my energy at a moment\u2019s notice. Because of that I can\u2019t squeeze in as much writing as I used to, but I still manage quite a lot between freelance writing projects, several blogs, and books & e-books. I\u2019ve just had to learn to adapt, taking advantage of those times when my energy is up and allowing myself to crash and refresh when I need to.\nCathy Yardley\tJune 2, 2014 at 7:20 am\t#\nJennifer, it sounds like you\u2019ve got your system dialed in! You\u2019re very aware of your energy issues, and that makes a huge difference. That said, it sounds like you do a lot already \u2014 I can only imagine what productivity looked like prior to your energy drop. I think authors don\u2019t recognize, or appreciate, how much they do. Congrats on your accomplishments!\nRoberta Morris\tJune 2, 2014 at 7:30 am\t#\nExhaustion can be your friend. I wrote my first novel almost entirely between 9 p.m. and 3 a.m. with two small children \u2013 really small. Later realized that I had to be exhausted, \u2018to get beyond myself\u2019 is how I thought of it, to quit resisting writing and just to write. Every night, until the first draft was done.\nWhatever is our reason (read \u2018excuse\u2019) once we run out of excuses we must sit down in front of that keyboard or take up the pen and just do it.\nI don\u2019t know that I\u2019d call exhaustion \u201cyour friend.\u201d It can be an effective incentive for some people, and it\u2019s good to put a positive spin on it, but I found a dark side to that \u2014 after a while, the only way I could write was under brutal deadline, just so I wouldn\u2019t worry about my internal editor or project about future critics. The problem being, I didn\u2019t have enough time or energy to really give the project the attention it deserved. And when it went to my editor, I started rationalizing \u201cwell, it\u2019s the best it can be for a manuscript fueled on Mountain Dew and all-nighters!\u201d\nI also think that it\u2019s more than just \u201cexcuses.\u201d Some of my clients have told me they\u2019re lazy, that they\u2019re avoiding, but I\u2019ve seen how hard they work in other areas of their life. It\u2019s not that they\u2019re lazy, it\u2019s that they\u2019re afraid. In my experience, saying \u201cit\u2019s just an excuse\u201d and \u201cjust do it\u201d doesn\u2019t work with people who aren\u2019t aware of what they\u2019re afraid of \u2014 and who don\u2019t have coping mechanisms in place to circumvent the fear enough to get writing done.\nD. D. Falvo\tJune 2, 2014 at 7:51 am\t#\n\u201cEven if it seems to take time away from writing, it will refill your creative well\u2014which means you\u2019ll write more effectively even if you have less time to spend.\u201d \u2013Such great advice, and something most writers might be afraid to recognize as a necessity without this validation.\nLoved the article. Brilliant as always.\nI think a lot of people consider rest somehow \u201cless\u201d than \u201cbulling through it.\u201d Thanks so much for commenting! \ud83d\ude42\nsibilant\tJune 2, 2014 at 8:58 am\t#\nThanks for all the great tips! I\u2019m working on my first novel, and I pass through each of these camps in phases. \ud83d\ude42\nI recently joined a great writing group, and that motivates me to keep at it. What\u2019s more embarrassing than bringing bad writing to the group? Showing up and saying I didn\u2019t meet my word count goal and don\u2019t have anything for them to read!\nI know just what you mean \u2014 I always hated feeling guilty when other people brought pages and I didn\u2019t, it was just the nudge I needed to get my butt in the chair and hands on the keyboard! \ud83d\ude42\nSherry Marshall\tJune 2, 2014 at 4:52 pm\t#\nThank you Cathy.Yes, alot of the above. The main thing though was I lost my passion and stopped consistently writing. I think it\u2019s more about my thoughts of \u2018getting it out there\u2019 once it\u2019s finished that\u2019s stopping me because I find \u2018marketing\u2019 so hard! Funny really cause if I don\u2019t finish it, it won\u2019t get out there!I am very passionate about my new novel when I write it.\nThis has helped, because maybe I will change how I am thinking and go back to the publisher of my 1st book and see what happens, rather than self publishing!\nCathy Yardley\tJune 3, 2014 at 10:09 am\t#\nSherry, I\u2019m so glad this helped! Marketing can be a daunting proposition for anyone \u2014 a lot of my clients have expressed their fears and frustrations, since it\u2019s so different than the process of writing the novel itself. I think that marketing can be simplified, though. Good luck with your writing project!\nDesiree A. Cox\tJune 2, 2014 at 5:12 pm\t#\nThis article hit my problem right on the head. Fear has stalled me for a couple of years. Fear of what my family will think, fear of what others will think, fear of not being good enough, and fear of failure.\nI\u2019ve been facing my fears head on and knocking down each obstacle. I\u2019m almost done with my first manuscript.\nFear is the most insidious of the \u201cstuck points\u201d because it\u2019s so easy to downplay \u2014 \u201cjust do it\u201d tends to be the pat answer. But if you could do it, you would have. In my experience, 99% of the time it\u2019s not laziness, it\u2019s fear. Being cruel and abusive to your fear doesn\u2019t tend to work. Being gentle, finding support, and taking small but consistent steps is the key. Good luck!\nLaura W-A\tJune 3, 2014 at 9:34 pm\t#\nFear had me stalled for twenty years. Last fall I finally started writing the first of the several novels I had been writing in my head for all that time, and I am finally close to having the first draft done. I even have the sequels planned \u2013 one completely outlined, synopses for a few others. Getting it actually edited to the point of being able to publish (whether self or traditional)? That\u2019s another story\u2026 LOL. I guess there\u2019s still plenty of fear left.\nHi Laura, it helps to hire an editor/writing coach to help you along\u2013both with encouragement and direction. One of the hardest things about being a new novelist is gaining confidence in handling all the elements of novel construction. It can be overwhelming and paralyzing. I wish I\u2019d had someone like me thirty years ago when I started and had no clue how to proceed and what I needed to know at each step along the way!\nI agree. I\u2019ve worked with several of my clients from beginning draft, when they\u2019d never completed a single novel (or even started one!) all the way through to contracted publication. Sometimes, a little help from an objective outsider can work wonders. (And an editor, or trusted beta readers, should be part of the support network I think all writers should have!)\nJessica C.\tJune 3, 2014 at 3:35 pm\t#\nFear keeps me from not finishing my novel. Fear of forgetting, fear of losing my time to get it done, fear of no one hearing the story I have in my head. At the same time though fear makes me rush, makes me push so hard that I inevitably have to go back and rewrite and reread things a million times. I don\u2019t like you fear, you are a mean mean little thing!\nMy biggest problem right now is deciding I am actually DONE done with my novel. It\u2019s written, but how many times do I need to edit it. At the moment that answer seems to be, \u201cfor the rest of your life!\u201d\nMaybe my fear of rejection from publishers is keeping me from finishing editing though\u2026.hmmmm, food for thought.\nIf you\u2019ve edited it a few times, you might need an outside opinion. Beta readers that you trust, that read the genre you\u2019re writing in, might be the way to go. (Ask them to be gentle with their feedback, and be specific regarding what you\u2019re looking for. Do you want them to look at overall story structure? Pacing? The writing itself?)\nRosemary Jarrell\tJune 7, 2014 at 12:44 pm\t#\nGreat post! I really like the kindness (and reality) of your suggestions. After years of thinking about it, I\u2019m finally writing\u2013but I have a busy full-time job,family commitments and I also like to READ actual published books:) So there are times where days pass and I haven\u2019t touched my novel\u2026I used to feel very guilty about that. I read somewhere that writers write\u2013everyday, and I can\u2019t claim to do that. However, I set weekly word count goals and I know that if I don\u2019t write much during the week I\u2019m going to have a busy weekend.",

        "title": "Zarif in Australia: Iran has a skilled front-man | The Interpreter",
        "raw_content": "Zarif in Australia: Iran has a skilled front-man\nHe came, he saw, he spoke well and left. The Iranian foreign minister's visit to Australia, the first in 22 years, made surprisingly few headlines. Sure, he came without a trade delegation in tow and during the middle of a sitting week but even so, for a massive underdeveloped market of over 80 million people with a significant entrepreneurial middle class and a strong education system, the media focus was pretty parochial.\nThe trade dimension was really the aim of the foreign minister's visit but the media paid precious little attention to it. An announcement regarding the re-opening of an Austrade office in the embassy in Tehran went largely unnoticed in favour of more locally 'important' news such as whether Iran would accept forcible removal of failed asylum seekers. I couldn't find any photos of the foreign minister and Prime Minister Turnbull in the Australian press, but one did pop up in the Qatari press.\nThe visit to Australia was the last leg of a six-nation Asian and Australasian trip. It is not unreasonable to believe that Australia and New Zealand were included in recognition of the fact that, among the 'Five Eyes' community, they are the only two which have maintained unbroken diplomatic representation in the Islamic Republic. No mean feat given the diplomatic travails and likely something that has been noted in Tehran.\nI attended the speech Zarif gave in Sydney. He is the archetypal foreign minister \u2014 a polished professional who was able to play a very straight bat to pretty well every question asked of him. One thing that came through in his comments, which reinforces a theme that the Islamic Republic has been pushing, is that of brand differentiation between Iran and the Saudis. Both are vying for influence in the region, and Zarif was at pains to picture Saudi Arabia as the threat to stability, just as he had with his NY Times editorial earlier this year. Zarif's use of the term 'so-called allies' in reference to America's friends in the Gulf was also notable \u2013 the subtext was that these countries are not true allies, and perhaps that Iran could be. Zarif also contrasted Iran's democratic traditions (conveniently avoiding the fact that it exists within a massively constrained system of candidate selection) and the lack of such traditions elsewhere in the region.\nForeign ministers are part politician, part salesperson. On the evidence of Zarif's short visit, Iran has a skilled practitioner at the helm who is adept at both. The tussle for influence between Iran and Saudi Arabia will be the defining theme of the next decade in the region and Iran's front-man in that competition will be hard to best.\nThis week in Jakarta: Uber, Batman and radicalsPrevious Article\nDigital Asia links: Cyber espionage, Baidu, ride apps, #Kimunji, women in tech and moreNext Article\nNauru ABC ban: Australia damned by faint criticism\nAuthoritarian dangers encroaching on the Pacific have been a theme of late \u2013 but not for Australia about Nauru.\nAleppo: Time for the West to acknowledge Assad has won\nBy supporting disparate rebel groups, we run the risk of prolonging an immoral war; one that cannot be won.\nAustralia and India: different worlds\nby Alexander Davis\nAustralia wants India to support its \u201crules based order\u201d, but does New Delhi want the same rules?",

        "title": "Families Flock to Arts-based Faith Formation Program",
        "raw_content": "Families Flock to Arts-based Faith Formation Program\nby Catherine Wiecher Brunell\n5 tips for creating an arts-based program\n1. An art-based program must be anchored in creativity. The end product is not important, the process is the goal.\n2. An arts-based program must have strong support from the pastor and the faith formation commission. It\u2019s easy for an outsider to assume children aren\u2019t learning but being entertained.\n3. An arts-based multi-aged program relies on the commitment of families. Parents are expected to be involved, making sure children attend classes and do homework, as well as volunteer.\n4. Space is key. Parishes and organizer should try to find a space that accommodates all families, but also allows for small group break-outs.\n5. The prayer experience cannot be ignored. There will be pressures of time, children's focus, and family schedules, but classes must start and end with a prayer (formal, song, choreography, spontaneous, etc.)\nFor the first seven years of parenting, my husband and I bounced around between parishes and Mass times, depending on nap schedules and how many kids we had. Mass, if we even got there at all, was something we just tried to get through (especially without spilling our entire stash of Cheerios or raisins.)\nFirst and second graders create a\nmanger scene using various materials\nWhen our oldest was ready for a religious education program, however, bouncing-around wouldn\u2019t work anymore. My husband and I both attended Catholic schools, and we wanted our son Turner to have the same experience we did.\nThere were some good programs in parishes nearby, but most were 45-minute drop-off lessons. I imagined running errands while Turner got a quick shot of religion. It left me uneasy about his faith experience. We wanted something that invited our whole family to participate, something that would stand out in our schedules and was different from our rush-rush mentality.\nAround that time, our friends told us about their children\u2019s religious education class. Their arts-based program was multi-aged, had a family retreat component as well as an adult discussion. It would be a bit of a drive, and would disrupt our nap routines, but we were willing to try it.\nEighteen months later, St. Ignatius\u2019s Arts Based Multi-generational Program has added an essential element to a family schedule we thought was full.\nThe program is based on a series of retreats from the 1970s for high school students, led by a Paraguayan Jesuit who used the arts to deepen participants\u2019 experience of God. At the end of each retreat, an array of paintings, plays, sculptures, and dances would emerge.\nThirty years later, Maria Rodrigues, an almuna of the program, made her way to St. Ignatius Parish in Boston and approached the pastor about creating a Sunday school program based on her retreat experience.\nWith the help of a team of parents, Ms. Rodrigues founded the Arts Based Multi-generational Program. And 16 years later, the program is bursting with 85 children from first to sixth grade\u2014with middle school students petitioning to stay in the program through eighth grade.\nFifth graders collaborate on a dramatic presentation.\nIn every class, art, which includes drama, dance, music, photography, fine arts, and poetry, is the medium children use to experience God and learn about our teachings.\nFor example, middle school students read Jesus\u2019 Resurrection story and were invited to think about the \u201cboulders\u201d in their own lives. What did they need to roll back to enter the life Jesus wants for them? They each sculpted an image of their boulders, depicting things like shyness, pressure to excel at math, and forgiveness.\nThe Arts Program helps makes the experience of God and religion joyful and fun. It helps children find God in all things, and uses creative expression to access God\u2019s ongoing Revelation and presence. Instead of children learning a fact about Church history or the story of Jesus, the arts program helps them hear, feel, explore, and express the scene.\nDepiction of the woman at the well scene.\nWe\u2019re pleased our oldest child is in a setting that welcomes the silliness of an eight-year-old boy while still pushing him to make connections between how he plays on the playground and what he hears in the Gospels.\nEach week we do the homework as a family and ponder questions like, \u201cWhat would the Good Samaritan story look like if it happened in your school?\u201d and \u201cWhy do we all fail to help our neighbors sometimes?\u201d\nWe are so grateful to have found a program that has a beautiful mix of theology, joy, community, and ritual.",

        "title": "Saint Catherine of Bologna",
        "raw_content": "St. Catherine of Bologna was born in Italy in 1413. When she was a young girl, her aristocratic father sent her to court in Ferrara to be a lady-in-waiting to the Marquis\u2019 daughter, Princess Margarita. At the time, the city of Ferrara was becoming a cultural center, providing the young girls with an excellent education in music, literature, painting, and dancing. Catherine particularly excelled at miniature painting, Latin, and playing the viola.\nWhen Margarita became engaged, she invited Catherine to stay with her, but Catherine felt called to the religious life and at the age of 14, she joined a Franciscan community. During this time she suffered a spiritual crisis, but she had a vision of the Real Presence in the Eucharist that brought her consolation. Spiritual visions consoled and disturbed her at various times in her life, which we know from her work, The Seven Spiritual Weapons.\nDissension in the community led Catherine and others to join the Poor Clares, a contemplative order founded by St. Francis and St. Clare of Assisi. Catherine willingly served in humble roles at the convent, including laundress, baker, and animal caretaker. Late in her life, she obediently left her beloved Ferrara to found a new convent in Bologna, where she served as abbess.\nCatherine continued in her artistic pursuits, playing the viola, painting religious pictures (including one of St. Ursula that hangs today in a gallery in Venice), copying out and illuminating her breviary (now on display at Oxford), and writing spiritual guides and poetry.\nIn 1463, aged 49, she became gravely ill and died within a few months. Her incorrupt body rests in Bologna. Catherine was canonized in 1712, and her feast day is March 9. She is a patron saint of artists.\nVisit Arts & Faith to learn about ways modern-day Catholics are expressing their faith through the visual and performing arts.\nCompose a prayer in honor of artists, asking for the intercession of St. Catherine.\nCreate a scrapbook of saints inspired by the artistic sensibility of St. Catherine.

Neglecting to follow up on decisions and agreements can weaken relationships both in business and in life. In this course, LinkedIn Influencer Fred Kofman explains why we sometimes fail to fulfill commitments, and how to take steps to ensure that this pattern doesn't continue. Fred shares what to ask yourself before making a commitment, how to report a commitment at risk, and how to make an effective apology, if needed. He also covers the meaning of integrity and explains how to build trust. Upon completing this course, you'll be equipped with a process that can help anyone in a 1:1 relationship or a team work with greater integrity.\nPowerless to Powerful: Taking Control\nClarify requests\nWhat to ask yourself before making a commitment\nCoaching session, part 1: Fred and Eric\nReport a commitment at risk\nHow to make an effective apology\nEric's conclusion\nThe meaning of integrity\nBusiness Business Skills Collaboration Communication Freelancing Productivity Time Management\nVideo: The conditions of integrity",

        "raw_content": "Intel CEO Otellini's pay package jumps 17 percent\nAdobe CEO's 2009 compensation falls 68 percent to $5.2 million\nAT&T CEO's pay jumps 35 percent to $20.3 million in 2009\nIntel CEO Paul Otellini saw his pay package jump in fiscal 2009 by 17 percent, which included performance-linked awards for guiding the company out of the recession, as a pay freeze for all employees was lifted, the company said.\nOtellini got a total compensation, including cash and equity awards, of $14.12 million in fiscal 2009, compared to a package of around $12.1 million in fiscal 2008, Intel said in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday.\nOtellini\u2019s base salary for fiscal 2009 was $1 million, similar to the previous year, but his cash compensation jumped 28 percent to $6.25 million to reflect the company\u2019s financial performance in 2009. He also received equity benefits totaling $7.87 million tied with company performance.\nThe increase was tied partly to Intel\u2019s increased profit in fiscal 2009, according to the filing. The company\u2019s net income increased by 12 percent in 2009, excluding some extraordinary charges, compared to the previous year. However, including all charges, the company\u2019s net income fell by 17 percent, dragged down by $1.45 billion in fines paid to the European Commission, and a settlement agreement payment to Advanced Micro Devices of $1.25 billion.\nIntel also removed pay freezes to employees in the wake of better performance, the company said in the filing. Intel in early 2009 froze salary increases across the company in the wake of poor economic conditions.\nThe total compensation for Sean Maloney, Intel\u2019s executive vice president, was around $6.27 million, growing 27 percent. Maloney, considered by many to be the heir apparent to Otellini, is currently on medical leave recovering from a stroke.\nIntel benefited from a stabilization of PC shipments in the second half of last year, which resulted in increased chip shipments. Otellini in September said that the chip industry was on the brink of recovery after either flat or declining PC shipments in 2008.\n\u201cThis is an environment where we have had the worst recession in 70 years,\u201d Otellini said during a keynote at the Intel Developer Forum in September. \u201cThe market is poised for a resurgence and we will see how 2010 plays out,\u201d he said.\nHowever, the compensation for AMD\u2019s CEO Dirk Meyer declined by 14 percent in 2009, after the company cut the pay of its employees due to the economic downturn, according to a document filed with the SEC. Meyer received compensation of around $4.55 million, down from $5.27 million in 2008. His base salary declined to $792,685 from $856,732.",

        "raw_content": "Businesses can\u2019t eliminate risk, but they can manage it to maximize the entity\u2019s economic return. A new framework aims to help business owners and managers more effectively integrate enterprise risk management (ERM) practices into their overall business strategies.\n5-part approach\nOn September 6, the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) published Enterprise Risk Management \u2014 Integrating with Strategy and Performance. You can use the updated framework to develop a more effective risk management strategy and to monitor the results of your ERM practices.\nThe updated framework discusses ERM relative to the changes in the financial markets, the emergence of new technologies and demographic changes. It\u2019s organized into five interrelated components:\n1. Governance and culture. This refers to a company\u2019s tone and oversight function. It includes ethics, values and identification of risks.\n2. Strategy and objective setting. Proactive managers align the company\u2019s appetite for risk with its strategy. This serves as the basis for identifying, assessing and responding to risk. By understanding risks, management enhances decision making.\n3. Performance. Management must prioritize risks, allocate its finite resources and report results to stakeholders.\n4. Review and revision. ERM is a continuous improvement process. Poorly functioning components may need to be revised.\n5. Information, communication and reporting. Sharing information is an integral part of effective ERM programs.\nCOSO Chair Robert Hirth said in a recent statement, \u201cOur overall goal is to continue to encourage a risk-conscious culture.\u201d He also said that the updated framework is not intended to replace COSO\u2019s Enterprise Risk Management \u2014 Integrated Framework. Rather, it\u2019s meant to reflect how the practice of ERM has evolved since 2004.\nThe updated framework clarifies several misconceptions from the previous version. Specifically, effective ERM encompasses more than taking an inventory of risks; it\u2019s an entitywide process for proactively managing risk. Additionally, internal control is just one small part of ERM; ERM includes other topics such as strategy setting, governance, communicating with stakeholders and measuring performance. These principles apply at all business levels, across all functions and to organizations of any size.\nMoreover, the update enables management to better anticipate risk so they can get ahead of it, with an understanding that change creates opportunities \u2014 not simply the potential for crises. In short, it helps increase positive outcomes and reduce negative surprises that come from risk-taking activities.\nERM in the future\nWe can help you identify and optimize risks in today\u2019s complex, volatile and ambiguous business environment. We\u2019re familiar with emerging ERM trends and challenges, such as dealing with prolific data, leveraging artificial intelligence and automating business functions. Contact us for help adopting cost-effective ERM practices to help make your business more resilient.",

School Quality Profiles were developed by the state Board of Education in response to the 2015 Virginia General Assembly and House Bill 1672, which directed the board to redesign online reports for schools and school divisions to more effectively communicate to parents and the public about the status and achievements of Virginia\u2019s public schools. School Quality Profiles are available for all schools, school divisions, and for the state.\nThese profiles cover many topics, including: student achievement, college and career readiness, program completion, school safety, teacher quality and many more.\nThe state Board of Education has identified additional reports to be added to the School Quality Profile reports as the information becomes available. These include reports on gifted education programs, average class sizes, and statistically valid surveys of students, teachers and other school employees on the learning environment.\nAs a parent, I encourage you to visit SchoolQuality.Virginia.Gov if you have children who are attending public schools, or are looking for more information on public schools and school divisions.",

Not to mention the press.\u201d\nSherman wrote about the former booking director's experience working for Fox and being \u201cpsychologically tortured\u201d by Ailes and the network. Laurie Luhn explained that during her time at Fox as a booking director, she was \u201crequired [] to do many things she is now horrified by, including luring young female Fox employees into one-on-one situations with Aies that Luhn knew could result in harassment.\u201d Luhn also recounted her own sexual harassment from Ailes and how the network settled with her on the conditions of an \u201cextensive nondisclosure\u201d agreement which prevented Luhn from taking the network to court: :\nThe morning after Fox News chief Roger Ailes resigned, the cable network\u2019s former director of booking placed a call to the New York law firm hired by 21st Century Fox to investigate sexual-harassment allegations against Ailes. Laurie Luhn told the lawyers at Paul, Weiss that she had been harassed by Ailes for more than 20 years, that executives at Fox News had known about it and helped cover it up, and that it had ruined her life. \u201cIt was psychological torture,\u201d she later told me.\nIn late 2010 or early 2011, Luhn said, she wrote a letter to Fox lawyer Dianne Brandi saying she had been sexually harassed by Ailes for 20 years. Brandi did not acknowledge receipt of the letter, but, according to a source, she asked Ailes about the sexual-harassment allegations, which he vehemently denied. Ailes, according to the source, told Brandi to work out a settlement. Luhn hired an attorney to negotiate her exit from Fox. Through a spokesperson, Brandi declined to comment.\nOn June 15, 2011, Luhn and Brandi signed a $3.15 million settlement agreement with extensive nondisclosure provisions. The settlement document, which Luhn showed me, bars her from going to court against Fox for the rest of her life. It also precludes her from speaking to government authorities like the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the FBI. Not to mention the press. Aware that speaking with New York on the record could pose legal risks, Luhn was insistent that she wanted to tell her story. \u201cThe truth shall set you free. Nothing else matters,\u201d she told me. Her family friend also said this is what Luhn wanted.\nGender, Justice & Civil Liberties\nFox News Channel, New York Magazine\nRoger Ailes, Gabriel Sherman",

Ninety percent of the men and 87 percent of the women had experienced chest pain, pressure, tightness or discomfort with their heart attack.\nThe investigators also found that:\nSymptoms led nearly one-third of women and 20 percent of men to visit their doctor before their heart attack.\nWomen were less likely to recall discussing heart disease with their doctors, or to be told by health-care providers that their symptoms might be related to their heart.\nNearly 60 percent of the men and women did not think their symptoms were heart-related. Many women said they believed indigestion, stress or anxiety was the cause, while men cited indigestion or muscle pain.\nThe study was scheduled for presentation Monday at the American Heart Association's annual scientific meeting in Los Angeles.\nThe data and conclusions of research presented at meetings are typically considered preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed medical journal.\nSOURCE: American Heart Association, news release, Nov. 5, 2012",

'Wonder Dog' Emma Alerts Owner\nTUESDAY, April 2 (HealthDay News) -- Decreased levels of the hormone melatonin may be linked to the development of type 2 diabetes, according to new research.\nA study of U.S. women found that those with the lowest levels of melatonin had more than twice the risk of type 2 diabetes compared to women with the highest levels of the hormone. This association held true even after the researchers controlled for other risk factors for type 2 diabetes, such as body weight and dietary habits.\nBut whether too little melatonin actually causes type 2 diabetes isn't clear. \"We found an association between melatonin and type 2 diabetes; what we haven't got from this study is causality,\" said study lead author Dr. Ciaran McMullan, a research fellow at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. \"That's the next step of research.\"\nThe findings shouldn't change clinical management. \"There's no evidence that taking melatonin will improve someone's chances of avoiding diabetes,\" McMullan said.\nResults of the study, which was funded by the National Institutes of Health, appear in the April 3 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.\nMelatonin is a hormone most commonly linked to sleep and the body's biological clock. The production of melatonin peaks about three to five hours after you fall asleep in the dark, and almost no melatonin is produced during the day, according to background information in the study. Sleep disruptions can affect melatonin production, as can exposure to more or less daylight, McMullan said.\nPeople with type 2 diabetes, by far the more common form of diabetes, don't make enough insulin or use it properly. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert sugar (glucose) from foods into energy.\nMelatonin receptors are found throughout the body, including in the islet cells of the pancreas, which produce insulin. This connection suggests melatonin may also play a role in glucose metabolism, according to the study.\nMcMullan and his colleagues reviewed data from the U.S. Nurses' Health Study. The researchers found 370 women who developed type 2 diabetes during the study period, from 2000 to 2012. They also selected 370 women without diabetes for comparison. Melatonin levels were obtained through urine samples.\nWhen researchers compared women with the lowest levels of melatonin to those with the highest, they found that low levels increased the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 2.17 times.\nMcMullan said it's not yet clear how melatonin might affect the risk of type 2 diabetes. \"The next step is to look at whether we can adjust melatonin secretion in people, and to confirm whether or not melatonin is a modifiable risk factor for type 2 diabetes,\" he said.\nDr. Joel Zonszein, director of the clinical diabetes center at Montefiore Medical Center in New York City, said the study illustrates the complexity of type 2 diabetes. \"But it doesn't prove that taking melatonin would cause a person to be more insulin sensitive,\" he said.\n\"While there is a correlation between melatonin and insulin resistance, we cannot tell from this study if low melatonin is the cause,\" Zonszein said. \"We are far away from melatonin as a treatment.\"\nIn the United States, about 8 percent of residents have diabetes, but many don't know it. The disease, a leading cause of heart disease and stroke, is typically associated with obesity, sedentary lifestyle and older age.\nSOURCES: Ciaran McMullan, M.D., research fellow, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston; Joel Zonszein, M.D., director, clinical diabetes center, Montefiore Medical Center, New York City; April 3, 2013, Journal of the American Medical Association",

        "raw_content": "CHD patients benefit from exercise training and weight loss\nMedWire News: Results show that participation in a cardiac rehabilitation and exercise training (CRET) program by overweight or obese patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) only slightly decreases mortality, but improves various cardiometabolic factors and their quality of life.\n\u201cAlthough obesity is a cardiovascular risk factor in epidemiological studies, an \u2018obesity paradox\u2019 exists in which obesity is associated with favorable prognosis among cohorts of cardiac patients,\u201d say Carl Lavie (Ochsner Medical Center, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA) and colleagues.\nThe team therefore investigated the validity of this paradox by retrospectively studying 529 consecutive patients with CHD (44% percutaneous intervention, 35% bypass surgery, and 30% myocardial infarction) who were assigned to participate in CRET 2 to 6 weeks after hospital discharge. Of these, 393 individuals had a body mass index (BMI) of 25 kg/m2 or more and 136 patients had a lower BMI.\nCRET consisted of individual and group counseling from a dietitian, formal exercise instruction, and group exercise and education sessions three times a week for 12 weeks. The patients were also encouraged to do further exercise on their own.\nWriting in the American Journal of Medicine, the researchers found that overweight and obese individuals who lost at least 5% of their body weight after participating in CRET had significant reductions in BMI, percent fat, and levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, triglycerides, C-reactive protein (CRP), and fasting glucose, of 5%, 8%, 5%, 17%, and 40%, respectively.\nIn addition, peak oxygen consumption and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol increased by 16% and 10%, respectively, in these individuals and there were marked improvements in behavioral factors and quality-of-life scores.\nThose whose lost less than 5% of their body weight had no significant improvements in percent fat or triglycerides, LDL cholesterol, CRP, and fasting glucose levels, however.\nOverall, the 3-year mortality rate was not significantly different between the two groups but tended to be slightly lower in overweight/obese individuals who lost more than 5% of their body weight during CRET than in those who lost less weight, at 3.1% versus 5.1%.\nOf note, those with a BMI of 25 kg/m2 or more at baseline had significantly lower total mortality rate than those with a lower baseline BMI, at 4.1% versus 13.2%. Participants with high as opposed to low baseline fat also had a lower total mortality rate at study completion, at 3.8% versus 10.6%.\n\u201cAlthough an obesity paradox exists, in that CHD patients with higher BMI or higher percent body fat have lower mortality than those with less obesity, these results support the safety and potential long-term benefits of purposeful weight loss in overweight and obese patients with CHD,\u201d conclude Lavie et al.",

The median age at BP onset was 80 years.\nOverall, 46% of BP patients versus 11% of controls had at least one neurologic diagnosis. These included cerebrovascular disease, dementia, Parkinson's disease, and epilepsy, the risk for which increased by a significant 6.3-, 6.0-, 10.7-, and 7.9-fold, respectively, in patients with BP versus controls.\nThe second study, carried out by Sin\u00e9ad Langan (King's College London, UK) and co-workers, included 868 BP patients and 3453 controls with a similar age at onset of BP as in the previous study. Data was obtained from the Health Improvement Network, a large UK general practice database.\nWriting in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology, Langan and team report that the relative risk for stroke, dementia, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, and multiple sclerosis was increased 1.8-, 3.4-, 3.0-, 1.7-, and 10.7-fold, respectively, in BP patients compared with controls.\nThe associations were only significant where neurological disease was diagnosed before the onset of BP, note Langan and colleagues.\n\"Neurologic symptoms may often be subtle, and the onset of disease may be insidious, leading to diagnostic delay,\" write Taghipour et al.\n\"It is therefore likely that the interval between neurologic disease and BP is longer than estimated, and it is tempting to speculate that certain neurologic conditions can predispose to bullous pemphigoid.\"\nLangan et alconclude: \"These findings are coherent with the results of previous case-control studies and case reports from many different geographical regions, which report strong associations between previous neurological diseases and the later development of BP.\"\n2010: Advance online publication",

        "raw_content": "Remembering the 1952 Egyptian Revolution\nJuly 23, 2017 at 8:30 am\t| Published in: Africa, Egypt, On this day, Opinion\nFormer Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser waves to crowds in Mansoura from a train car on 7 May 1960 [Bibliotheca Alexandrina/Wikipedia]\nWhat: Egyptian Revolution of 1952\nThe Egyptian army\u2019s failures became evident after the Arab-Israeli war in 1948 with many of the serving officers accusing King Farouk of abandoning them.\nLieutenant Colonel Gamel Abdel Nasser, who served in the war, formed a clandestine group called the Free Officers which became the Free Officers Movement in 1949. The Free Officers Movement was a group that consisted of army officers who wanted to abolish the monarchy allied to the British Empire and end the Muhammad Ali dynasty of Egypt and Sudan.\nOn 23 July 1952 the Free Officers Movement led by General Muhammad Naguib and Nasser overthrew King Farouk.\nOn 26 July King Farouk was forced to abdicate in favour of his infant son, until June 1953 when he sailed into exile on the same yacht his grandfather, Ismail, had left for exile on over 70 years earlier.\nRead: Balancing the poverty of the poor in Egypt\nAfter the coup the Free Officers asked former Prime Minister Ali Mahir to lead the civilian government of the Revolutionary Command Council (RCC) but Mahir would resign a few months later citing differences with the Free Officers.\nEgypt was declared a republic on 18 June 1953 after the RCC was dissolved in January and Muhammad Naguib became Egypt\u2019s first president and commander in chief, a popular choice due to the respect he had gained in Egypt for his role in the 1948 war.\nThe revolutionary government was driven by nationalism influenced by pan-Arabism and anti-imperialist agendas and was vehemently opposed by imperial powers such as the United Kingdom \u2013 which had occupied Egypt since 1882 \u2013 and France.\nThe movement\u2019s aims were to abolish the constitutional monarchy and aristocracy of both Egypt and Sudan, establish a republic which would end British colonialism of the country and achieve Sudan\u2019s independence.\nThe early success of the revolution had a knock-on effect for nationalist movements across the Arab world and Africa, such as in Algeria and Kenya, where anti-colonial struggles against European occupation were taking place. The revolution also inspired people to topple existing pro-Western monarchies and governments in the region.\nHowever, many observers feel that the term coup is more accurate and that Nasser\u2019s revolution was not all encompassing. Within six months all civilian political parties were banned and replaced by the Liberation Rally government party which would operate through \u201ctransitional authoritarianism\u201d.\nIn January 1954 the Muslim Brotherhood was outlawed, despite the help they had given Nasser in 1952, and by November President Naguib had been ousted and arrested. He was then replaced by Nasser first as prime minister and then as president, a position he remained in until his death in 1970.\nAfricaEgyptOn this dayOpinion",

        "raw_content": "HomeRecruitment GuideHiring Tips for Employers7 Techniques the Best Business Firefighters Follow\n7 Techniques the Best Business Firefighters Follow\nA business firefighter is similar to the person who educates the public about fire prevention, jumps down a pole, hops onto a fire truck, wields a hose, and dashes into burning buildings. After all, businesses do not need to literally be in flames to experience hot, smoky trouble. Business firefighting includes developing a checklist for disaster prevention, and staying calm and efficient in the face of trouble. To that end, here are seven techniques that the best business firefighters follow.\n1. Putting Safety First\nNo matter the problem at hand, a top-notch business firefighter puts safety first. In a literal fire, safety often includes the physical well-being of a firefighter as well as the well-being of people in the vicinity. With business \u00ef\u0093fires,\u00ef\u0094 safety more often equates to the security of the business as well as the mental health of employees and customers. For example, say a data hack occurs. To ensure the safety of customers, a business firefighter would send out an email or another form of communication explaining what happened, what was at risk, and explaining that customers are required to change their passwords. This type of safety comes with high levels of transparency and the potential of short-term damage to the business, but it\u2019s necessary for long-term survival. Better than ignoring the fire and hoping no one notices.\n2. Anticipating and Planning for Potential Problems\nGood business firefighters try not to be caught off guard. In this respect, they identify possible problems by looking at competitors\u2019 history, the history of the business, and at other factors such as the economy and resources that are available to the business. Armed with this information, a firefighter is able to better douse problems when they occur. For instance, in the case of a data hack, one potential problem that is easy to anticipate is media relations. To this end, a quality firefighter plans ahead for the appropriate person to speak to the media. The person should be high-up enough in the organization to give the issue the gravitas it deserves and to show that the business is taking the matter seriously. The spokesperson should be honest and straightforward, never giving the impression that the business is hiding the severity of a problem or trying to cover wrongdoings.\n3. Communicating at All Levels\nWhen a fire is blazing, it\u2019s important to stay in touch with personnel to best fight the creature. Doing so provides the big picture of what is going on and keeps everyone informed.\n4. Identifying Exits\nJust as a business has a literal fire evacuation plan, a business firefighter must have an exit plan",

        "raw_content": "I'm seeing it more and more--job descriptions with perks about nerf guns and happy hour, or new grads who joined a startup and are bragging about ping pong tables and free coke. This is apparently something that people see as a fun culture, a sign that this is a place you'd enjoy working at and has people you'd enjoy working with.\nThis stuff doesn't matter.\nA fun distraction is still a distraction\nThis stuff is all stuff you do when you're not working. When you have a few minutes to spare here and there and are bored and want to have fun. It's recreation. It's a distraction from work. It's not going to make you more productive, or make you happier with the work you have to do, or the people you have to work with.\nIn fact, it might make you less happy with those things. Suddenly the work you have to do, which could and should be fun and challenging if you're in the right field, is just a necessary evil to spend a few hours on before the next game of ping pong. You're not at work to play around, you're at work to get crap done, but if you spend long enough in an environment like this, then the work becomes the distraction and the nerf guns and happy hour become the thing you look forward to and are excited about.\nThis will not help your productivity and certainly won't make doing actual work any more enjoyable.\nKeeping work and play separate\nLots of people seem to love bragging about working hard and playing hard, and it's a pretty common attitude that working with people you can go play laser tag with and be friends with is a big win. I'm going to disagree.\nI'd like for people at work to judge me based on my work, not on how good I am at pool or how well I can handle my alcohol. I'd rather they didn't know any of those things, because it just distracts from what you're there to do. I don't want to have to deal with the drunken argument last Friday night at the bar when I'm working Monday morning. I don't want someone I work with to be bummed out with me because I didn't want to hang out on Saturday since I have a family.\nTrying to enforce a culture where people are all friends with each other and go out drinking together and watch movies together does not make anyone any happier when they're working, it just creates more opportunities for drama and biases.\nIt's easy to throw some toys into the office and call it your culture. Actually creating a good, positive, productive culture is much, much harder than that.\nDo your employees feel heard when they have suggestions or questions? Do your managers do a good job of keeping track of budgets and focus without micromanaging and getting on everyone's nerves? Do people have a solid method of critiquing each others work and providing helpful feedback without hurting any feelings? Does everyone feel challenged and interested in the work they're doing?\nThese are the things that produce a good culture, and these are the things to strive for, and these are things that you can't buy at Target or brag about on job descriptions, but they're the things that keep people around and working hard and happy.",

        "title": "Motion Picture Group Defends Movie Ratings System | Military.com",
        "raw_content": "Motion Picture Group Defends Movie Ratings System\nNEW YORK - Under increasing pressure over its threshold for violence in PG-13 films, the Motion Picture Association of America defended its often-criticized rating system last Wednesday.\nA study by the Annenberg Public Policy Center and the Ohio State University recently published in the medical journal Pediatrics found that gun violence in the most popular PG-13 releases since 1985 has tripled in frequency. The number of scenes featuring gun violence in PG-13 films, the study found, has come to rival or even surpass the rate of such sequences in R-rated movies.\nThe association's ratings board is no stranger to criticism, but the study - seemingly lending evidence to a long-held claim that the board is softer on violence than sexuality or language - has set off calls for reform.\nIn the MPAA's first response to the study, Joan Graves, head of the MPAA's ratings board, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that the MPAA is in line with parents' standards.\n\"We try to get it right,\" Graves said. \"The criticism of our system is not coming from the parents, who are the people we're doing this for.\"\nThe association has five ratings classifications, from G to NC-17, but the continental divide is between PG-13 (in which parents are \"strongly cautioned\" that some material may be inappropriate for children under the age of 13) and R (in which children under 17 are required to be accompanied by a parent or adult guardian).\nIn between, battle lines are drawn over violence, language and sexual content - a fraught distinction because it determines what kids can see on their own, thus heavily influencing a film's potential audience. Critics claim that the MPAA is far more permissive of violence in PG-13 films than fleeting nudity or a handful of expletives.\n\"It may be time to rethink how violence is treated in movie ratings,\" said Dan Romer of the Annenberg Center.\nBut Graves claims PG-13 \"is not a namby-pamby rating,\" but intended as a strong warning to parents.\nThe MPAA frequently points out that it doesn't police films but assigns warning labels for parents so they can make their own choices about what their children see. The ratings system is a voluntary one for theatrical released films that the movie industry founded in the 1960s to replace the far more restrictive Hays Code.\nBut the current ratings system has persistently drawn criticism for its perceived prudishness, while yielding more easily to the violence in big studio releases, such as Christopher Nolan's PG-13 rated \"Dark Knight\" trilogy. Kirby Dick's 2006 documentary, \"This Film Is Not Yet Rated,\" leveled claims of censorship at the MPAA ratings board.\nOn Wednesday, the MPAA granted the Weinstein Co.'s \"Philomena\" a PG-13 rating after initially giving it an R because of two expletives. Harvey Weinstein, who has frequently battled the ratings board, enlisted the film's stars, Judi Dench and Steve Coogan, in a series of comedic online videos protesting the MPAA.\n\"The MPAA's stance on language often proves itself to be too black and white, not taking into account a film's overall subject matter,\" Weinstein Co. attorney Bert Fields said.\nGraves said parents more frequently object to language or sex in movies, and that \"they feel they're getting the correct information about the violence.\"\nBut violence in film and video games has become an increasingly hot topic in the wake of numerous school shootings. Studies have shown conflicting results on whether watching violent movies has any effect on real-life violence. In January, President Barack Obama called for further research on the connection between media and violence.\nGraves said the association is aware of school shootings and other violence and the debate on the possible connection to violence in movies. She said the association is open to making adjustments.\n\"Certainly, it's always under consideration. It's not a static thing, ever,\" she said.\nThe PG-13 rating began as a narrow in-between classification, introduced in 1984 following complaints of a heart-yanking scene in \"Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.\" But it has grown into Hollywood's favorite rating.\nSix of this year's top 10 films are PG-13 rated, including the biggest box-office hit, \"Iron Man 3.\" Since the Annenberg-Ohio State study focused on the top 30 films at the box office each year, it perhaps says as much about audience tastes as it does about Hollywood.\nGraves said that effects-heavy films - particularly comic book films - have introduced a less realistic kind of violence that's neither graphic nor brutal: \"There are so many more ways of putting (violence) on the screen than there were two decades ago.\"\n\"There is more violence,\" said Graves, who allowed for the possibility that another ratings category could evolve.\nSome have chosen to opt out of the MPAA's guidelines. When the sensual coming-of-age story \"Blue Is the Warmest Color,\" which features a lengthy lesbian lovemaking scene, opened in theaters last month, a handful of movie theaters, including New York's IFC Center, chose to allow \"high-school age patrons\" despite the MPAA's NC-17 rating.\nThe theaters felt a movie about teenagers deserved to be seen by teenagers.",

Journalists at Global News Investigation established that Great Canadian Gaming had previously partnered up with Cheng Yu Tung in a casino ship endeavour that operated in China\u2019s South Sea.\nCheng Yu Tung has since passed away (2016), but the information discovered by the news agency will most probably lead to a major organised crime investigation into the business activities of Great Canadian Gaming by British Columbia\u2019s Gaming Enforcement authorities.\nCriminal Investigation To Follow\nThe news agency\u2019s own investigation involved interviews with former Great Canadian employees as well as the perusal of hundreds of corporate and legal documents relating to the casino ship\u2019s activities. Attorney General David Eby has confirmed the proposed investigation by B.C.\u2019s Gaming Enforcement authorities and has said that even when business activities take place outside of Canada, investors involved with casinos that are registered within the jurisdiction of British Columbia must all be given the green light in terms of all legal aspects, including suitability and most importantly, integrity.\nThe ship wasn\u2019t operational for very long. The cruises only lasted for about a year, ending in the year 2001. According to interviews with former employees, the ship was plagued by Chinese gangster activities and its business endeavours came to a halt when a number of serious lawsuits followed.\nInvestigation Will Reveal All\nAttorney General Eby elaborated further by saying that it has now transpired that Tung was in fact not registered with or approved in order to participate in gambling-based activities under British Columbian law.\nEby called for any person in possession of credible information to come forward and contact the offices of British Columbia\u2019s Gaming Enforcement branch, so that the information may be put to good use towards finalising the investigations.\nFormer Crown prosecutor Sandy Garossino, who is acclaimed for her critical outlook on organised crime involving casinos and related activities, has referred to the information discovered by Global News as a bombshell that has now blown open the need for a critical inquiry into what has happened during the course of the apparently rogue partnership between the casino group and the deceased tycoon.\nWhether the group has unwittingly allowed the tycoon to launder money and carry on illegal operations, or whether this was indeed part and parcel of the partnership, is bound to be revealed now that a proper investigation has been launched.",

        "raw_content": "A Morris County Bankruptcy Lawyer Explains a Lesser-Known Debt Solution\nBankruptcy offers individuals a valuable and efficient solution to ongoing financial troubles. The two most common forms of individual bankruptcy are Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 filings. However, when people hear the phrase \u201cChapter 11 bankruptcy,\u201d they often immediately think companies going under reorganization.\nWhile not as common for individual bankruptcies, Chapter 11 still offers the same protections and rights as other forms of bankruptcy for certain people. However, there are some key differences.\nWhy Would a Person File Chapter 11?\nBoth individuals and businesses can file for Chapter 11; however, individuals typically only file in cases where:\nThey have more than $336,900 in unsecured debt, like credit cards and medical bills\nThey have more than $1,010,650 in secured debt, like vehicles, homes, and valuable property\nThey need to keep property or assets in order to run a business\nMany small business owners choose Chapter 11 when they see the need to restructure both their personal and business financial obligations.\nWhat Are the Benefits of Chapter 11 Bankruptcy for Individuals?\nLike all forms of bankruptcy, a Chapter 11 filing immediately invokes the automatic stay, temporarily stopping collection calls, threatening letters and foreclosure proceedings.\nPeople filing Chapter 11 also enjoy the benefits of certain bankruptcy exemptions. Property covered by the exemptions will vary depending on whether they use the federal or New Jersey guidelines; however, they can rest assured knowing that they will be able to keep what they need to survive during bankruptcy. Exceptions are available for a person\u2019s house, vehicle, valuable property, books, clothes and tools that are essential to one\u2019s livelihood or trade.\nChapter 11 cases are similar to Chapter 13 in that they restructure debts to be paid off through a payment plan over three to five years. However, under Chapter 13 rules, the payment plan can last a maximum of five years, which means that some people may have difficulty managing the payments. Conversely, Chapter 11 cases must take a minimum of five years, which could potentially offer lower payments over the course of the plan.\nYour Morris County bankruptcy lawyer will know how to use the Chapter 11 rules to maximize the benefits you receive.\nLegal Counsel is Essential for Chapter 11 Filings\nNo matter what form of bankruptcy you are filing, it is essential to have a qualified and experienced Morris County bankruptcy attorney on your side.

        "raw_content": "Honoring the Sacredness of Your Daughter\u2019s First Period\nThe spring after my daughter Anna turned 13 and got her period, I invited close adult women friends over for a ziti dinner to celebrate this turning point in her life. My husband took our younger daughter out of the house so it would be a special \u201colder girl\u201d event. We sat in a circle and shared memories of getting our periods and also shared favorite memories about my daughter.\nWhile a little embarrassed, Anna seemed to enjoy it. Perhaps it wasn\u2019t full of instruction or deep meaning like other rituals, but it made a special memory for her. I also hoped that it sent the message that she was welcomed into the world of womanhood and that the changes in her body were to be honored and celebrated, not something to feel ashamed about. After the celebration, my younger daughter Katie stated quite seriously that when it was her turn, she wanted macaroni and cheese, not ziti.\nSoon it will soon be Katie\u2019s turn, so I\u2019ve been thinking more about menarche and how other families might be observing this important and often frightening time of life. Even though many of the taboos about talking about our bodies have broken down, menstruation is still generally talked about privately and in hushed tones. We usually use euphemisms and funny phrases like \u201con the rag,\u201d \u201cthat time of the month,\u201d or \u201ca visit from Aunt Flo.\u201d\nMost girls nowadays learn about menstruation and puberty through a book, perhaps a talk with Mom, an older sister or friend, and at school assemblies. Yet as much as 10 percent of American girls are clueless about what\u2019s happening to them when they get their first period, according to Elissa Stein and Susan Kim, authors of \u201cFlow: The Cultural Story of Menstruation.\u201d While the body-shaming of yesterday doesn\u2019t happen as often (we hope) in America today, menstruation is treated as, at best, a problem of hygiene and mood swings.\nThe scant research on the topic shows that girls\u2019 attitudes about menarche and menstruation seem to be overall negative. Kim McClive-Reed, LMSW, PhD, a social psychologist, notes that one problem in these studies is in the kinds of questions, since they\u2019re focused on symptoms and worries. One study that asked more positive questions garnered an attitude that viewed menstruation as more of a normal, healthy part of being a woman.\nAlso, she notes, the age of menarche has gone down, which means girls are going through this transition at younger ages than ever. The studies show a correlation between negative attitudes and this downward trend in age. Perhaps this indicates a need for earlier preparation and education, and a re-affirming of the positive sides of this transitional time.\nWhy do we find it so hard to talk about menstruation? While some of the negative attitudes and taboos around menstruation are most certainly because of a long, entrenched history of body shaming and fear of women\u2019s power and fertility, some of it certainly also comes from a feminist desire to downplay what might be seen as an essentialist, traditional understanding of a girl\u2019s development.\nIn other words, we tend to want to show appreciation and positivity for something a girl has done (like obtaining her driver\u2019s license or graduating from high school) rather than something that simply \u201chappens\u201d to her because she\u2019s female. But even this well-meaning approach can have unwanted consequences: Marianne Williamson has reflected that growing up, she realized that she felt loved for what she did, not for simply being who she was.\nWhile some of the approaches to menarche in different cultures are frankly frightening \u2013 like cutting open the abdomen to encourage fertility \u2013 many other cultures offer an array of more positive, life-affirming ways to mark a girl\u2019s menarche. Best-selling wellness author Dr. Christiane Northrup supports the idea of a positive, personalized coming-of-age tradition for our daughters. She points to examples of positive rituals in indigenous cultures and shares examples of ways other women and girls have observed this turning point. A rite of passage acknowledges that this is a time when \u201cexplosive energies of individuation that are released at puberty require some kind of container in which they can be channeled constructively.\u201d\nNorthrup also believes this is a lack that teens feel acutely in our current culture. \u201cIn the absence of culturally-approved vision quests, meaningful coming-of-age ceremonies, or genuine tests of physical and psychological strength, too many young teens fill the void with drugs, alcohol, dangerous relationships, or compulsive consumerism.\u201d\nSome of the ways that other cultures, like in rural India, Bali, and Ghana, have celebrated menarche include ritual bathing, dressing the girl up in jewels and fine garments, having a feast or party, and showering the girl with gifts. In other cultures, girls might spend time with an older female relative. Still other traditions include physical feats, like the Nootka Indians, who, according to Stein and Kim, row the girl out to sea and require her to swim back to shore, where her family and friends cheer her return.\nPerhaps we don\u2019t have to have a big party to honor this time of our daughters\u2019 lives, but simply shrugging our shoulders and treating it as nonchalantly as a nosebleed ignores the very real way that the experience of menarche lays the foundation for how a girl feels about herself for the rest of her life.\nA mother\u2019s attitude \u201csets the tone for how we embrace, or subtly (and not-so-subtly) reject, our awesome but culturally taboo creative powers as women,\u201d notes Dr. Marcy Axness, author of \u201cParenting for Peace: Raising the Next Generation of Peacemakers.\u201d A positive, affirming ritual, whether it\u2019s formal or informal, can help convey the message that getting your period is a time to honor yourself and your own cycles, rather than something to be ashamed of or simply \u201cdeal with.\u201d\nI can\u2019t say my daughter has come to be fascinated with her period and loudly proclaims when it\u2019s her time, or that she\u2019s become a blogger for The Red Web. But hopefully at least, she can look back at least one bright spot when she felt welcomed, loved, and honored, and can re-visit some of those rituals, either for herself, or perhaps, for her own daughter. I look forward to getting her input as we prepare to acknowledge her younger sister\u2019s coming of age. And of course, we\u2019ll have macaroni and cheese.",

        "raw_content": "File under D for D\u2019oh!\nThe information in the newly declassified documents was surprising, but not for the reasons one might suspect. There were no accusations of past terrorist activities, no allegations of plans to smuggle chemical weapons into the United States or to engage in acts of espionage against any of the six detainees. Instead, the list of allegations within the declassified FBI documents was surprisingly short, consisting of mostly unsubstantiated hearsay and conflicting testimony from unnamed \u201cwalk-in sources,\u201d many of them refugees also seeking asylum who were willing to lie about fellow refugees to secure their own passage into the United States.\nRacial and cultural biases may also have played a role in the botched FBI case. Special Agent Mark Merfalen said of one Iraqi suspect at his immigration hearing, \u201cI didn\u2019t like [his] whole demeanor when I was talking to him. He had this kind of smug look.\u201d At the same hearing, Merfalen added that people from the Middle East tend to \u201clie an awful lot.\u201d Another agent said, \u201c[W]e were told \u2014 and this I actually learned through mistakes in dealing with Arabs \u2014 there is no guilt in the Arab world.\u201d He added that, to Arabs, \u201cthere is no guilt associated [with lying]. In other words, if I lied to you, I\u2019d feel bad that I didn\u2019t do what I knew I should do. But \u2026 that\u2019s part of doing business.\u201d\nAfter the FBI investigation concluded, the information the agency had gathered was somehow erroneously classified as secret by the FBI. Some of the material was declassified only a year later, when Senators Trent Lott, Orrin Hatch, and Jesse Helms (presumably guided more by a sense of loyalty to backers of U.S. policy in Iraq than by a concern over immigrant rights) began questioning its use by the INS. The FBI claims that the second look at the documents was not the result of any political or media pressure, but simply due to a random audit.\nHow the documents came to be erroneously classified in the first place, however, remains a mystery. According to Niels Frenzen, lead attorney for the Iraqi Six, \u201cWe sought clarification from the INS informally and have asked the senators to talk about it, and we\u2019ve just never gotten a good answer. It\u2019s not that we haven\u2019t gotten a good answer; we haven\u2019t gotten any answer.\u201d\nToday, the attorneys for the Iraqi Six have many of the declassified documents, but the FBI still maintains that it has more information (legitimately classified this time) that implicates the Iraqis.\nThe deal signed by five of the six detainees \u2014 deportation to a neutral country \u2014 allows the INS to avoid a huge political and public relations nightmare in which it would have to answer for the near deportation of men who \u2014 at their own peril \u2014 had assisted the United States in its highly visible campaign against Iraq.\nBut the deal came with a big catch for the Iraqis: The five have to \u201cadmit\u201d that they entered the United States illegally and forfeit all rights to an appeal. Some thanks.\nWhile attention from the case has prompted a full review by the U.S. Attorney General\u2019s office of all cases involving secret evidence, the FBI has, to this date, refused to release any information about the rest of the still-classified documents on the Iraqi Six. These documents may still come back to haunt Dr. Ali Yassin Mohammed-Karim, the one holdout who has refused the INS deal and is insisting on a retrial.\nBecause of the complex nature of the case, the immigration judge has said the retrial could possibly take nearly a year, which means that Ali will probably remain in prison well into the year 2000. In the meantime, the other five refugees will remain under house arrest in Lincoln, Neb., subject to wiretaps, curfews, and random searches and surveillance of their homes and vehicles, until neutral countries can be found to accept them.\nWhile Frenzen sees his clients\u2019 current situation as \u201ctragic,\u201d he hopes that this case will have a major impact on the use of secret evidence in future immigration hearings. \u201cThere\u2019s definitely enough blame to be shared with the FBI, the CIA and the Justice Department, but the INS is the agency that took this secret evidence knowing that it was a bunch of worthless rumors and innuendoes and ran with it,\u201d he says. \u201cThey shot themselves in the foot, and have increased the likelihood that there are going to be some significant legislative changes.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Home/Blog/Investing Insights/Investing Based on Seasonal Trends\nInvesting Based on Seasonal Trends\n8 April 2015 in Investing Insights\nStocks rise and fall based on a company\u2019s performance and profitability, right? Well, not necessarily. Upon reading Roger Martin\u2019s, Fixing the Game, one begins to understand that while profits and performance can lead to improvements in a company\u2019s stock price, it is not the end-all-be-all. Instead, the volatility in the stock market has much more to do with perceptions and expectations.\nWhen a company is ready to announce their quarterly results, it can seem like the entire investment world stops in anticipation. Market analysts have made their best estimates as to how they believe the company has done or should have done, and then those numbers are pinned up against the company\u2019s actual numbers when they give their press release.\nWhen the information is made public, a stock tends to rise and fall based on how well the company did vs. the expectations in the short run. For example, if a company earned $100 million in profits that quarter, but analysts assumed they would earn $120 million, the stock could tumble after the final earnings are announced. Investors pay up in terms of higher valuation multiples for strong growth and rising expectations. When expectations disappoint, stocks can get punished until management proves themselves worthy again over the next several quarters.\nSEASONAL TRENDS AND INVESTING STRATEGIES\nThe stock market has historically been a place of great fortune for those who\u2019ve chosen stocks well and held over the long term and great disappointment for others. Investors are constantly looking for the next breakthrough analysis that can give them deeper insights into the market and allow them to earn more money with the least amount of risk possible.\nAmongst the many studies and research analysis are seasonal trends: months that have historically seen profits in repeat years, and other time-frames that have often seen recurring losses. Based on these trends, some investors, using qualitative research, alter their timing of buys and sells and believe that by following seasonal trends they can earn more in the market.\n1) Sector Rotation Strategy\nThe sector rotation strategy is not necessarily a theory based on seasons, but it has everything to do with timing the strengths and weaknesses of the market. In its most basic form, this strategy tracks the momentum of large sectors of the stock market such as Financial Services, Energy, and Technology.\nWhen certain sectors are performing well, investors who apply sector rotation strategy typically buy stocks in those well-performing sectors and ride the momentum until a signal shift tells them otherwise. When tracing this strategy back to the 1920s, studies have shown that a momentum based strategy has outperformed the buy-and-hold strategy approximately 70% of the time.1 One reason investors may choose to apply sector rotation strategy is to diversify their holdings over a certain period of time. There are many different sectors in the economy so naturally they don\u2019t all rise and fall simultaneously.\nThus, one can buy into a sector as it is rising and then use the sale proceeds as the sector downshifts in order to buy into and gain exposure in a different sector that is on the rise. This can enable investors to rotate in and out of sectors over time to take advantage of changes in business and economic cycles. The key here is timing and knowing when it\u2019s time to sell out of one sector and buy into another sector. Trading sector-based ETFs are one way to easily increase or decrease your exposure to large segments of the market.2\n2) Sell in May And Go Away. But Don\u2019t Forget To Come Back In September\nThere is a popular saying in investing that goes \u201csell in May and go away.\u201d Some investors stick with the idea that gains are typically earned more often between the months of November through April and that the other six months of May through October tend to underperform and yield very little, hence the expression.\nWhen viewing the returns of the Dow from the 1950s, one can begin to understand why this phrase has stuck with some investors for so long. The months of November to April have yielded an average gain of 7.5% while the months of May to October have earned just 0.3%. Less trading volume over the summer months when people tend to travel for vacations and more investment flows in winter are two possible explanations for this recurring pattern.3\nHistorically, September has commonly been an underperforming month compared to the rest of the year.4 So the trading expression, \u201cdon\u2019t forget to come back in September\u201d is a strategy that investors can consider if they have money they want to put to work. If prices have dropped in September and one anticipates a rise in the coming months, it can be a signal for these strategists to buy.\n3) Santa Claus Rally\nAnother common seasonal trend in the markets that you may have heard of is known as the Santa Claus rally. Put simply, this theory revolves around the thought that some stocks have historically risen during the days in between Christmas and the first couple trading days after New Year\u2019s. The average cumulative return over these few days is 1.6%. No one can seem to pinpoint an exact reason for this, but some speculate it could be due to5:\nYear-end tax related portfolio adjustments\nOptimism during the holiday season\nShort-sellers being on vacation\nThe list may seem a little strange, but the positive gains are something to smile about.\n4) The January Barometer And January Effect\nThere\u2019s an investment phrase that says, \u201cAs goes January, so goes the year,\u201d stemming from the idea that the performance of the S&P 500 in January can indicate how the rest of the year could turn out. While this \u201cJanuary barometer\u201d was true about 75% of the time between 1950 and 1984, the patterns in years since 1985 haven\u2019t held up that well. As a result, even though you may hear the expression still used today, it isn\u2019t a very reliable theory to use when making investment decisions.6 For example in January 2014, the S&P was down 3.6%, but climbed over 15% between February and December.7\nOn the other hand, the \u201cJanuary effect\u201d is a different market hypothesis that speculates stock prices, primarily small cap stocks, have a tendency to increase the most in the month of January, more than any other month. This seasonal trend could influence investors to buy shares before January starts and sell shares by the end of the month.\nThe markets have adjusted and fewer people are actively selling at the end of December for the purpose of claiming losses on their tax returns, which previously spurred increases in buying during the month of January.8\nWHICH TYPES OF STOCKS SHOW SEASONALITY?\nSome stocks have shown more seasonality than others. Research has shown upon viewing many years of data for these same stocks, that certain months have been historically more profitable than others.\nSeasonal trends have been seen in many industries including banking, retail, oil, and even health care. Banking has historically been strong from October through May. Retail has shown strength between September and June. And the oil sector has often experienced an uptick in December.9 If you are looking for seasonal trends in specific industries, you can utilize historical data to help you make your own trading decisions. Since the markets can be unpredictable, however, there is always a risk that such historical seasonal trends amongst certain industries may not continue.\nIS IT WISE TO INVEST BASED ON SEASONAL TRENDS?\nWhile there have been observed trends across many sectors in the market, and some fodder for market commentators to discuss, there is no guarantee that those trends could continue in the years to come. For this reason, choosing to invest based on a point-in-time on the calendar and historical patterns may not fall within your risk levels or provide a solid foundation to validate your investment strategy. For example, the past Santa Claus rallies could have been due to emotion and people investing simply based on expectations that the market would rise and not on actual market strength. There is no clear answer and the past doesn\u2019t dictate the future performance.\nThus, investing on seasonal trends may be preferable to chartists and qualitative researchers which a short-term disposition who are looking for a quick gain based on a perceived market anomaly before selling their shares and searching for their next move. Keep in mind that investing based on season trends can be full of transaction costs, capital gains tax, and increased risk. For those that invest for the long-term, they may prefer to focus on dollar-cost averaging and the overall rise of the market over time, not what\u2019s changing month to month.\nHowever you decide to invest, it is helpful to be aware of historical patterns and the various strategies that some investors apply at different times of the year. The more you learn, the better prepared you can be to make your own investment decisions.\nMotif Investing is an excellent destination for testing your own investment strategies, both short term and long term.\nPhoto Credit: https://www.flickr.com/photos/rkramer62/14647751643\n1 Mebane Faber, Relative Strength Strategies for Investing, http://stockcharts.com/school/doku.php?id=chart_school:trading_strategies:sector_rotation_roc2 Fidelity, https://www.fidelity.com/learning-center/trading-investing/markets-sectors/sector-rotation-introduction\n3 Investopedia, http://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/sell-in-may-and-go-away.asp\n4 Investopedia, http://www.investopedia.com/articles/05/seasonaltrends.asp\n5 Business Insider, http://www.businessinsider.com/santa-claus-rally-history-2014-12\n6 Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_barometer\n7 Business Insider, http://www.businessinsider.com/january-effect-seasonal-stock-trends-2015-1\n8 Investopedia, http://www.investopedia.com/terms/j/januaryeffect.asp\n9 Fidelity, https://www.fidelity.com/learning-center/trading-investing/markets-sectors/sector-seasonality\nShould you sell in May and go away?

        "title": "FREE TERRITORY OF TRIESTE AND RACIAL LAWS: A 1960 CLASSIFIED DOCUMENT \u2013 Free Trieste Movement",
        "raw_content": "At the end of World War II, one of the first actions of the occupying Allied Military Government (A.M.G. V.G.) based in Trieste was to repeal the shameful racial laws force by Italy in 1938 against the Jews. It was a much needed act to bring back civilization and justice after the barbaric occupations of the Fascists and of the Nazis had raped for a very long quarter century the well-run, civil and tolerant Trieste of Mitteleuropa and of the Habsburg, downgrading it to symbol of the cruel Italian unity, and core of the ideal and political union of the two bloodthirsty totalitarian regimes.\nIt was right from Trieste that, on 18 September 1938, Mussolini proclaimed Italian racial laws to get in line with his German ally. From that moment, even in Trieste the Jews became outcast, regarded as sub-humans, marginalized from the society before the \u201cfinal solution\u201d. A final solution was nothing but genocide: evil made human, which contaminated also the ancient Imperial city.\nTrains from Trieste were used to deport the Jews, in what would be the last voyage for many of them, off to the horror of concentration camps and death camps. In Trieste there was also a Nazi Lager, the antechamber to mass extermination camps, where many political opponents and Jews were brutally murdered: the Risiera di San Sabba.\nOrder No. 3 of the A.M.G. V.G. with which Fascist anti-Jewish laws were repelled, was signed on July 3rd, 1945 by U.S. Colonel Nelson W. Monfort, and it represented the liberation from the dark and evil in which Trieste was drowning, and its return to light and life. Then for Trieste, martyr-city of the ferocious Fascist and Nazi regimes, came redemption with the establishment of the Free Territory of Trieste, under the Treaty of Peace of Paris of 10 February 1947.\nThe administration of the new State was provisionally entrusted to the A.M.G. F.T.T. (Allied Military Government Free Territory of Trieste, 1947 \u2013 1954) no longer an occupation Government, but its first Government of State, which continued to repeal all repressive fascist laws that had remained into force in the Free Territory of Trieste.\nIn 1954, Washington and London sub-entrust the exercise of this provisional administration to the Italian Government with the Memorandum of Understanding regarding the Free Territory of Trieste.\nWith the Italian administration, Trieste\u2019s rebirth, which had started thanks to the Allies, to the point its Free Port had quickly returned to the levels of its glorious past as first port of Austria Hungary, was slowly stop. Trieste would no longer be treated as independent State to be developed, but as a colony to squeeze. And its Free Port would inexorably be isolated and marginalized by diverting its traffics to competing Italian ports.\nMass emigrations of Triestines started, especially to Australia. The rigorous Allied administrations was quickly substituted by the huge and inefficient bureaucracy of the Italian State, with its many levels of corruption.\nAnd so, as part of a well-planned operation, also the amendment and the repealing of Italian laws incompatible with the Free Territory of Trieste, started by the Allied Military Governments, was ignored by using the same laws without declaring it. Including the shameful racial laws.\nAs late as on 8 September 1960, the Ufficio Affari Riservati (Office for Classified Affairs) of the Italian Ministry of the Interior had to warn all Italian Prefects about not using the data of the data about Jews and people of Jewish ancestry filed in compliance with the racial laws for purposes other opening new dossiers to grant them the reparations envisioned by the new laws of the Italian State in favor of victims of political or racial discrimination.\nAmong the recipients of the classified note (which sure raises many questions since the Italian State had repealed racial laws as well) even the General-Commissioner for the Free Territory of Trieste (since there cannot be an Italian prefect in Trieste), who represents the provisional, administering Government for the Free Territory of Trieste.\nAn important evidence of the existence of the Free Territory of Trieste as State administered by the Italian Government under the Memorandum of Understanding of London. But, unfortunately, also an evidence of the failure to comply with the decision of the Allies who, as for Trieste, had already repelled Italian racial laws in Trieste as early as on July 3rd, 1945.\n\"Environment and Legality\", 1938, 1945, 1947, 1954, 1960, A.M.G.

Annas the high priest was there, and so were Caiaphas, John, Alexander and the other men of the high priest's family.\" NIV translation\nAfter being arrested and thrown in jail over night, now, Peter and John are brought to the temple for judgment. Now, they have to stand before people that have much to lose if the resurrection of Jesus is true. You see, if the resurrection is true, then there is no longer any reason for the high priest. If he lost his place, the whole family would lose wealth and power.\n\"They had Peter and John brought before them and began to question them: 'By what power or what name did you do this?'\" NIV translation\nNow the leaders of the temple start to ask them about who gave them the authority to heal the beggar and to talk to the crowd. You see, Peter and John are a threat to them. We have the same opportunity as Peter and John. You see, by their actions, people start to ask them questions. This is an opportunity to share with people about Jesus.\n\"Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: 'If we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a cripple and are asked how he was healed, then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed.\"\" NIV translation\nWhat a comeback for someone who had denied Christ three times on the day that Jesus was crucified. Now, that same Peter is standing up and boldly proclaiming the resurrection of Jesus. He boldly states that it is only through the power of our risen Savior that the crippled man was healed. Can you imagine how easy it would have been for Peter to take credit for what happened? But, no, Peter informs them that it is through the one that they had crucified.\nAre you prepared to boldly proclaim the Gospel as Peter did? We are all called to be ready to do so.\n\"'He is the stone you builders rejected, which has become the capstone. Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.'\" NIV translation\nIn the first part of these verses, Peter is quoting from the Psalms and King David. He is reminding the crowd once again that they rejected salvation through Jesus Christ. The capstone he is mentioning was not like the other stones in building. It was cut better and was the stone that the others were aligned with to make the building square. Peter reminds them that no matter whether they accept it or not,. Jesus is the only way to salvation.\nThat is as true as ever today. It is popular to say that all the \"religions\" need to get along and that we are all going to the same place only taking different paths. That is a lie out of the depths of hell. Just as Peter said here, there is no other name.",

something he explained the club was not prepared to do due to a \"lack of trust\" in the company.\n\"This late change of position is, it will be contended, motivated by a desire to defeat the order (CPO) and then seek to hold the club to ransom,\" he told the inquiry, chaired by David Prentis.\n\"As FIL's own solicitors put it very frankly in their letter of May 19 2015 for FIL 'the issue is purely one of value'.\n\"FIL's object here is thus plainly to up the amount of money it obtains for its land.\"\nThe council's regeneration director Brendon Walsh and its town planner Shane Baker told the inquiry the scheme was consistent with council policy and would aid the regeneration of the area, where they said some neighbourhoods are among the most deprived in Britain.\n'Opportunistic'\nRussell Harris QC, representing Brentford FC, said: \"Suggestions by FIL that it could itself provide a development which would achieve the same regenerative out-turns are new, opportunistic and lack consistency and credibility.\"\nThe inquiry heard that Brentford FC has already secured 86% of the land needed for the planned development and the plot at the centre of the inquiry is home to a vacant office block.\nThe council is due to continue making its case until Thursday this week.\nThe inquiry will then hear from the Green Dragon Lane Housing Cooperative (GDLHC), a collection of 75 households opposing the planned development, on Thursday afternoon (September 10), before a site visit on Friday (September 11).\nThe public inquiry over Brentford FC's new stadium took place at Brentford Free Church\nFIL will put forward its arguments from Monday (September 14), with the hearing scheduled to conclude on Friday (September 18).\nBrentford FC secured planning permission in December 2013 for the new stadium and 910 homes on surrounding land, which it claims are needed to fund the arena.\nThe club hopes to begin work on the site by the end of this year, subject to the outcome of the inquiry, and to move into its new home in autumn 2018.\nIt says it is operating at a loss and struggling to compete financially with its rivals because its current Griffin Park stadium generates too little income.\n'Extra traffic could increase journey times by up to 147%'\nRepresentatives from The Kew Society and West Chiswick & Gunnersbury Society were both at the first day of the hearing.\nBoth groups, which object to the scale of housing proposed, have submitted written evidence to the inquiry but neither is due to make verbal representations.\nWCGS chairwoman Marie Rabouhans claims the high-rise housing will ruin the character of the surrounding area and says the only community benefit other than the club itself will be a climbing wall.\nTKS chairwoman Caroline Brock said the group had commissioned an independent traffic study which showed the new homes would significantly add to congestion in the area at rush hour, increasing journey times by up to 147%.\nThe Friends of Stilehall Gardens, another local residents' group, has also submitted evidence claiming the planned development includes too few community benefits.\nAs well as FIL and GDLHC, six other statutory objectors were due to give verbal evidence at the inquiry.\nBut the council said it had resolved three of those objections, including those from Network Rail and South West Trains, and anticipated the remainder would be withdrawn following ongoing negotiations.\nThe club says expanding the stadium will allow its charitable arm Brentford FC Community Sports Trust, which runs activities in the community reaching some 150,000 participants a year, to increase its work by 50%.\nIt says other benefits will include new housing, more jobs and better links through the site, including a new bridge over the railway line.\nPlans for 75 homes on the Griffin Park stadium site were recently approved and a reserved matters application for the first tranche of housing around the stadium is expected to go before the council's planning committee in October.",

        "raw_content": "https://www.myplainview.com/news/article/Students-built-wooden-models-for-WWII-pilots-8394893.php\nStudents built wooden models for WWII pilots\nBy JOHN W. McCULLOUGH Texas Tech University\nIn the last article on July 20, Marie Oliva talked about building wooden models in the Air Training Corps of America (ATCA) during WWII.\nMarie Oliva was born in New Rochelle, N.Y., in 1926. She attended Isaac E. Young High School there until halfway through her junior year.\nAt the start of the spring semester in 1942, Oliva and many students at her high school became members of ATCA.\nATCA was created by the U.S. government. Its purpose was to have high school students across the country build wooden airplane models. The models were then shipped to various U.S. Army Air Fields and U.S. Navy training bases around the country, according to Oliva.\nShe said the models were made of solid wood. They had to follow specifications on how to build them. When finished, the students would paint them black and the models were then shipped to Army Air Fields around the country.\nShe did the entire process from start to finish for each model.\n\u201cYou would sand them down, you know, so that they were perfect and get the shapes.\u201d\n\u201cIt was an excellent program. You really learned a lot with your hands and precision of how important it was for those models; and you really felt like you were doing something for the war, as well.\u201d\nOliva said that it would take about two days to make one plane. Students had to use an electric saw, glue and such to build the model. Then they had it approved by one of the instructors before it could be shipped out.\nHerbert Brownell was the lead shop teacher for the high school and in charge of the ATCA program at Young High School.\nHe emphasized the importance of whether or not pilots could recognize the plane from a great distance and thus know whether or not to shoot it down.\nOliva thinks that there were two classes for ATCA. She recalls about 30-35 students per class.\nThe models were shipped in a light brown wrapping paper. Students had to be very careful packing them so that the wings and tail would not come off.\nThey were sent to a central point and then shipped to whichever air field needed them. She never knew exactly where they were being shipped.\n\u201cI think a lot of them went to Texas.\u201d\nWhen asked if the students received any payment for this war-related work, Oliva replied \u201cNo, no payment; we just got certificates of award according to how we moved up.\u201d\nThe students did receive high school credit and a grade for taking the ATCA class.\n\u201cThey gave us little ranks like captain or major, etc., and you got the certificate, and that related back to how many planes we could produce and send to the service.\u201d\nOliva still has a graduation certificate she received from the U.S. Navy stating involvement in the ATCA program.\nWhen asked about the kind of wooden models she built, Oliva replied, \u201cI remember the Messerschmitt, the ME-109 and a seaplane, an American seaplane; and that was the other interesting thing, as America finally had to start building different planes, and we had to include those, too.\u201d\n\u201cThey would find that the enemy would have certain planes. The Zero, the Japanese Zero; I remember doing that one, as well.\u201d\n\u201cWe had photographs. They had them up on the wall, as I remember it, of all the different planes; and then they showed below that, as I remember, they would show you what the model would end up looking like.\u201d\n\u201cWe weren\u2019t just building one model at a time, because everyone worked at a different pace; and so you had several models that you could choose from,\u201d explained Oliva.\n\u201cWhen they needed one [model] more than another, they would tell us that there is a request for these and everyone would start trying to work on those to get them out.\u201d\nIn January 1943, Oliva started at Norwalk High School in Norwalk, Conn., when her father changed jobs and the family moved. That was in the middle of her junior year. There was no ATCA program at Norwalk High School.\nWhen asked what she thought about her time in the ATCA program, Oliva replied, \u201cIt was fabulous. It was a wonderful training tool. It gave the youth a chance to contribute to the war because most of us were too young to go off to the war.\u201d\n\u201cWe felt like we were helping to do our part, as small as it was, but we knew it was important and everyone took it very seriously; and that\u2019s why you had both males and females in the class.\u201d\nOliva joined the Civil Air Patrol in 1944 and helped start the CAP branch in Norwalk.\nShe contacted Col. Nancy H. Tier, who was wing commander of the Connecticut CAP, about starting the CAP in Norwalk.\nCol. Tier talked to the CAP branch in Stamford, Conn., and asked them to send some members over to Norwalk to help Oliva and her fellow enthusiasts start their own branch.\nAll members of the CAP who are younger than 18 are called cadets. Adult members of the CAP are called senior members.\nOliva recalled that the head of the Norwalk CAP was a senior member named Lt. Jerry Ward. She also recalled two women pilots who were members. Both were part of the Women\u2019s Airforce Service Pilots, known as WASPs.\nOne of the WASPs was named Kowalski and her nickname was \u201cGadget.\u201d The other female pilot at the Norwalk CAP was Lt. Miller, but Oliva does not recall her first name.\nThe WASP program was located at Avenger Field in Sweetwater, and is commemorated at the WASP Museum in Sweetwater and available online at www.waspmuseum.org. The WASP Museum is part of the West Texas WWII Museums on Facebook at facebook.com/WestTexasWWIIMuseums.\nPart of Olvia\u2019s job as a CAP cadet was to patrol a section of Norwalk to make sure all lights were turned out for the blackout period at night.\nShe said that Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart were both heroes of hers when growing up.\nShe is a lifetime member of the CAP and holds the rank of lieutenant colonel. A resident of Arcadia, Calif., she has lived in California since 1950.\nMore about this history of Finney Field during WWII will be discussed in the next article.\nReaders can visit the Breedlove CPTP research website at www.breedlove-cptp.org for more information about the pre-glider program Finney Field. Anyone with information about the Plainview Pre-Glider School at Finney Field should contact John McCullough at 806-793-4448 or email johnmc@breedlove-cptp.org.",

        "raw_content": "Photo: Isaac's story\nFor parents Gareth and Kelly, every day is a surprise with 16 month old Isaac who has CHARGE syndrome. As they\u2019ve discovered more about the condition, they\u2019ve learnt to take each day as it comes and are incredibly proud of their son.\nCHARGE syndrome is a rare and complex condition affecting one in every 10-15,000 people. Its exact symptoms differ from person to person, but CHARGE often involves extensive medical and physical difficulties, including problems with the ears, eyes, heart, nasal passages, genitals, and growth and development.\nMost people with CHARGE have a hearing loss, vision loss and balance problems, which delay their development and communication.\n\u201cCHARGE affects each person who has it differently. For Isaac, CHARGE brings a moderate/severe hearing loss and he struggles with low frequency sounds in particular.\n\"He also has a poor sense of balance, problems with feeding and breathing, low muscle tone, and an impaired sense of touch,\u201d dad Gareth reports.\n\u201cIsaac has always found mobility and coordination very difficult because of his lack of balance and touch sensation. So hearing loss is just one factor that affects Isaac\u2019s perception of the world around him.\u201d\n\"It's been difficult to get the professionals working together.\"\n\u201cWe\u2019ve spent a long time finding out as much as we can,\u201d says Gareth. \"Because CHARGE is rare, lots of professionals don\u2019t know much about it. They\u2019re experts in their individual areas, but it\u2019s been difficult for us to get professionals working together.\n\"For example, Isaac wore a helmet for several months to work on his head shape. The orthotics specialist told us he should wear this all the time, while his audiologist told us that he also needed to wear his BAHA (bone-anchored hearing aid) full-time too. We pointed out that the two things don\u2019t work together and that a solution was needed for Isaac.\n\"As a parent of a child with multiple complex needs, you take on a big role in coordinating the services they receive.\n\u201cThe big things for us to concentrate on now are Isaac\u2019s mobility and communication. As he\u2019s getting older the impact of his sensory losses is becoming more obvious. And he gets frustrated that he can\u2019t do the things that other children can. He wants to \u2013 we see the determination in his eyes.\n\"At 13 months he sat up unaided for the first time, which was a huge achievement. Because his gross mobility is delayed, he\u2019s become really good with his fingers and hands. And he loves signing!\n\"We started BSL signing with Isaac as soon as we found out about his hearing loss. We\u2019re working on developing his speech as well, and the combination seems to work for him.\u201d\n\"Meeting and contacting other CHARGE families has been essential.\"\n\u201cA barrier for us has been the lack of services or support groups for children with additional needs in our area. We felt quite alone,\u201d Kelly recalls.\n\u201cGoing to baby groups was difficult because Isaac was behind all the other children. I had to separate myself a bit because I couldn\u2019t join in the conversations about milestones and play ideas. Meeting and contacting other CHARGE families has been essential.\n\"Even though CHARGE is rare, the community is very active both online and through meet-ups. We\u2019ve really found value in organisations like the National Deaf Children\u2019s Society and our local deaf children\u2019s group.\n\u201cWhen you have a child with additional needs, you have to surrender your expectations to some extent. You don\u2019t want to underestimate your child, but nevertheless you can\u2019t assume that things are going to happen.\"\n\"Every day Isaac does new things that amaze us, however small they are. It\u2019s been a difficult journey, but a positive one because we realise what\u2019s important,\u201d Gareth concludes.\n\u201cI feel from the bottom of my heart that he\u2019s given me a fresh perspective on life,\u201d Kelly adds. \u201cHe\u2019s taught me so much \u2013 the way he sees the world, his determination and happiness encourage me to see things differently.\u201d\nVideo: Supporting the achievement of deaf children in special schools\nCHARGE Family Support Group",

        "raw_content": "New Haven relishes triple overtime win at Flint Beecher\nAnd on the day after, they rested.\nNew Haven canceled boys basketball practice Wednesday as the team and the town soaked in the Rockets\u2019 108-103, triple-overtime victory at Flint Beecher from the night before.\nTalk at businesses in and around the village was about the non-league game that started late because the preceding JV game went into overtime, one the visiting Rockets won despite 63 points by the Buccaneers\u2019 Malik Ellison.\n\u201cIt was a night of unbelievable basketball,\u201d Casco Township resident Dick Leidecker said.\nLeidecker, a former baseball coach at Lincoln who serves on the basketball scoring crew for Abes games, makes a habit of attending marquee games when Lincoln is idle or on the road.\nHe wasn\u2019t disappointed by the show put on by Beecher, which has won four of the last five state Class C championships, and New Haven, which will try later this month to win a third straight Class B regional crown.\n\u201cI can\u2019t remember too many games like this one,\u201d Leidecker said. \u201cWhat an atmosphere. The place was packed.\u201d\nEric Williams Jr., whose scoring carried the Rockets to the championship of the MAC Blue-Gold tournament last week, led New Haven with 38 points. The senior who has signed with Davis & Elkins College in West Virginia also had 15 rebounds and nine assists as New Haven ran its winning streak to 18 games.\nRomeo Weems, a 6-foot-6 sophomore who has had scholarship offers from Michigan State and Ohio State, had 22 points, 24 rebounds, seven blocked shots, five assists and five steals before fouling out in the first overtime.\nRonald Jeffery Jr. added 27 points and made five steals as he continued to emerge as a key member of the Rocket roster.\nWeems was one of three New Haven starters who fouled out. Guard A.J. Crawford was called for his fifth foul in regulation time and Ashton Sherrell fouled out in the first OT.\n\u201cIt was a great game with a great basketball environment,\u201d Tedaro France II, the New Haven coach and a former Rockets player, said in an e-mail.\n\u201cIt was amazing, one of the better games I have ever seen or been part of in terms of all the dynamics involved with lead changes, big shots, adversity with foul-outs, rotations and kids stepping up and not only playing but making big plays.\u201d\nFrance himself was a storyline.\nThe man who achieved his 150th career coaching victory when New Haven beat Lake Shore in the Blue-Gold title game at Anchor Bay on Saturday was released from a hospital hours before the game.\nFrance had been hospitalized for two days with a heart condition.\n\u201cI am doing \u2026 a lot better,\u201d he wrote in the email.\nBeecher (15-5) was ranked in a tie for fourth this week in The Associated Press state Class C poll. New Haven (19-1) was third in Class B.\nEllison made 17 of 30 shots from the field. Of his 17 baskets, 11 were 2-pointers, and he was six-of-11 from 3-point range. The 5-8 senior guard, who hopes to play both basketball and football in college, made 23 of 26 free throws.\nFrance called Ellison\u2019s game a \u201cspecial performance.\u201d\nThe game did not start until after 8 p.m., due in part to the length of the JV contest that New Haven also won.\n\u201cWe are not practicing today,\u201d France wrote. \u201cIt was a late night for us, and the kids are exhausted.\u201d\nNew Haven\u2019s next game will be at home Monday against Marine City in a district tournament quarterfinal.\nThe winner of that contest advances to the district semifinals that will be at Marysville, the tournament host.\nNew Haven, with only a loss to MAC Red champion Dakota to blemish its record this season, went 10-0 in MAC Blue games prior to the Blue-Gold tournament.\nWilliams scored 118 points in the Rockets\u2019 three Blue-Gold games. Jeffery had 16 in the tournament final.",

        "raw_content": "CME releases action plan to attract, retain and advance women in manufacturing careers\nOTTAWA, Oct. 25, 2017 /CNW/ - Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters (CME) released today its action plan to promote and inspire women to pursue careers in manufacturing. Untapped Potential: Attracting and engaging women in Canadian Manufacturing aims at identifying solutions to showcase the vast and untapped opportunities the sector offers for women to build fulfilling careers and narrow the gender gap in the workforce.\n\"CME's action plan is instrumental in obtaining a better understanding of the current realities of women in Canadian industry. We are urging the manufacturing community, government leaders and industry stakeholders to work together and implement our recommendations,\" said CME National Board of Directors Chair Rhonda Barnet, President & COO of Steelworks Design Inc. \"Attracting more women into manufacturing professions is critical to helping manufacturers grow and to replace the existing and aging workforce.\"\nThe action plan highlights five areas where action is needed in order to improve female representation in manufacturing:\nMore high-profile female role models are needed to inspire and encourage young women to pursue a career in manufacturing.\nYoung women need more exposure to modern manufacturing facilities to gain a more accurate perspective on the career opportunities available to them. Those efforts need to focus on occupations within manufacturing rather than on the sector itself.\nEfforts to encourage young girls to pursue an education in STEM fields and/or the skilled trades need to be improved.\nBusinesses need to listen to the concerns of women and take steps to make their workplace culture more inclusive.\nBusinesses must find creative ways to improve work-life balance for their employees and to accommodate both women and men who have unavoidable family obligations.\nAlthough most women in manufacturing are happy with their career choice -- 80 per cent of the respondents would consider remaining in manufacturing if they could pick any profession -- women only account for 28 per cent of the manufacturing workforce. Additionally, there has been no increase in the share of manufacturing jobs held by women over the last 15 years. Only six per cent of employed women in Canada have a job in manufacturing compared to 13 per cent of all men.\n\"Our hope is that in a few years, the participation of women in manufacturing will not be a challenge, but rather as a strength, that powers the competitiveness and growth of Canadian manufacturers internationally,\" said Lesley Lawrence, Senior Vice President, Ontario at BDC and member of CME's national Women in Manufacturing working group.\nCanadian Manufacturers & Exporters' (CME) Women in Manufacturing Working Group was launched by National Board of Directors Chair Rhonda Barnet in March 2017. The Working Group was created in response to a key recommendation from CME's Industrie 2030 initiative regarding the need to attract more women to manufacturing to help address chronic labour and skills shortages in the sector.\nChaired by Elise Maheu, the Working Group includes women and men representing CME member companies from a wide range of sizes and industries. The Working Group is dedicated to supporting, promoting and inspiring women to pursue careers in manufacturing.\nAbout the Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters:\nSince 1871, Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters has been helping manufacturers grow at home and thrive around the world. In 2016, CME released Industrie 2030 - a roadmap for doubling Canadian manufacturing activity by 2030. Our focus is to ensure the sector is dynamic, profitable, productive, innovative and growing. We aim to do this by strengthening the labour force, accelerating the adoption of advanced technology, supporting product commercialization, expanding marketplaces and, most importantly, ensuring a globally-competitive business environment. CME is a member-driven association that directly represents more than 2,500 leading companies who account for an estimated 82 per cent of manufacturing output and 90 per cent of Canada's exports.\nSOURCE Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters\nFor further information: Stefi Proulx, Senior Communications Advisor, Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters, 613-292-6070, stefi.proulx@cme-mec.ca",

Instead, they are taking a new approach to drug use and allowing people to use their bathrooms to safely use drugs.

        "raw_content": "April Marks Confederate Heritage Month In Mississippi\nThe state's governor signed a proclamation declaring April Confederate Heritage Month without including the word \"slavery\" anywhere.\nIt's Confederate Heritage Month in Mississippi \u2014 a time the state's governor says is meant to \"reflect upon our nation's past.\" It's a tradition that several other states across the South celebrate, too.\nBut this year, the annual tradition landed Mississippi's governor in some hot water. Gov. Phil Bryant signed a proclamation in February declaring April \"Confederate Heritage Month\" and April 25 \"Confederate Memorial Day.\"\nThat proclamation was issued on a pro-Confederate website and later posted on his website. Critics were quick to point out that the governor failed to mention the cause of the Civil War \u2014 slavery \u2014 anywhere in his proclamation.\nA previous Virginia governor made the same omission. In 2010, then-Gov. Bob McDonnell declared April Confederate History Month in his state to \"promote tourism.\" Like Bryant, he also failed to mention slavery. He later apologized.\nMississippi's governor hasn't. And this isn't the first time Bryant has issued a proclamation to recognize the month of April. The Jackson Free Press points to similar proclamations signed by the governor in 2012 and 2013.\nAnother issue Bryant's wrapped up in? The state's flag. Following the 2015 slaying of nine black churchgoers in Charleston, South Carolina, states across the nation removed Confederate insignia from flags and public buildings.\"\nMississippi remains the only state in the nation with Confederate symbols on its flag.\nThis video includes images from Getty Images and clips from WLBT.",

        "title": "Amid a Measles Outbreak, an Ultra-Orthodox Nurse Fights Vaccination Fears in Her Community | The New Yorker",
        "raw_content": "Children play in the Satmar Hasidic town of Palm Tree, New York.\nPhotograph by Jackson Krule\nBlima Marcus is an oncology nurse and a member of the ultra-Orthodox community in Borough Park, Brooklyn, where the incidence of measles has risen sharply since last fall, as it has in similar enclaves in the New York area: Williamsburg, Brooklyn; Rockland County in upstate New York; and Ocean County in New Jersey. Health officials have confirmed more than two hundred cases associated with the epidemic; the New York State Department of Health has called it the worst outbreak of measles in the state since the late nineteen-eighties.\nWhen the outbreak began, Marcus\u2019s cousin, who lives in Lakewood, New Jersey, told her that a large percentage of her neighbors were not vaccinating their children. \u201cShe asked me to join a text-based chat group to address some facts that were flying around that were just wrong,\u201d Marcus said. False claims, such as the idea that vaccines cause autism, had become entrenched in the ultra-Orthodox community. A pamphlet from a Jewish organization called PEACH (Parents Educating and Advocating for Children\u2019s Health), which is skeptical of vaccines, has been circulating widely; a hotline for the ultra-Orthodox community, called Akeres Habayis (\u201cwoman of the home\u201d), also fans fears of immunization. Marcus started spending several hours a day researching scientific studies and answering questions by text. \u201cI was so uncomfortable leaving information out there, with forty women reading it, without actively refuting it,\u201d she says.\nWomen in the group reached out privately to thank Marcus for her time. They were receptive, she said, because \u201cI wasn\u2019t calling them fools. I didn\u2019t insinuate that anyone was unintelligent. I didn\u2019t accuse anyone of being selfish, and, honestly, I don\u2019t think they are. I think they\u2019re victims of a lot of scare tactics.\u201d In mid-November, Marcus began organizing small group sessions for ultra-Orthodox women, along with colleagues from the Orthodox Jewish Nurses Association, where she serves as the president. The first session was in her cousin\u2019s living room, in Lakewood. I spoke with Marcus last week, by phone, as she ran errands in Brooklyn, about how she approaches these fraught small group sessions and about which strategies she believes are most effective in changing people\u2019s minds. Her account has been edited and condensed.\n\u201cI walked in and my cousin had twenty-five chairs lined up in rows, and I said, \u2018No, no, no, no, no, no, no!\u2019 We need to sit in a circle. This needs to feel a lot more intimate and comfortable, because I\u2019m talking about the health and safety of their children. The day before I came, everyone in the development got a booklet on their door from PEACH. I guess the organization felt threatened.\n\u201cWhen the women arrived, I asked, \u2018Who here hates vaccines?\u2019 and, like, two or three people raised their hands, and I pointed at the door and said, \u2018Out!\u2019 For a second, they looked stunned, and then the whole room burst out laughing, and I said, \u2018I\u2019m kidding, I\u2019m kidding.\u2019 I showed them that I know we\u2019re going to be disagreeing, but there\u2019s no sarcasm, no heckling, no hollering.\n\u201cThe session was supposed to be from 8 P.M. to 10 P.M., but it went on \u2019til two o\u2019clock in the morning. The autism information was mind-blowing to them. There was one study that almost seemed to solidify it for them. It\u2019s a study from Japan. In the late nineteen-eighties, part of the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine was contaminated, so they replaced the M.M.R. with single vaccines\u2014single measles, single mumps, single rubella\u2014which is what many vaccine skeptics want to do. But, in Japan, vaccination with M.M.R. went down to zero, and autism rates continued to rise in line with every other country. The women liked the graph. They liked the visuals of autism rates going up but M.M.R. administration going down. They saw that the two weren\u2019t connected.\n\u201cOne woman took four of her kids for the M.M.R. that week. I texted her and said, \u2018Hey, how are your children feeling?\u2019 And she said, \u201cThey\u2019re O.K. So far they\u2019re not acting autistic.\u2019 And I said, \u2018O.K., that\u2019s encouraging.\u2019\n\u201cThe second meeting we did was in Clifton, New Jersey. The third was in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, right after Hanukkah, in mid-December. For the Williamsburg one, I came with fifty studies or more. I piled them up in front of me and I said, \u2018These studies prove that there\u2019s no connection between autism and the vaccines, and this pile proves that the flu shot actually works, and this pile proves that heavy metals have nothing to do with autism.\u2019 I passed around index cards for e-mail addresses, and when I got home I sent out, like, forty studies to people. I learned at the Lakewood one that they want to see the paperwork.\n\u201cI give them pointers on how to evaluate research. I say, \u2018Look at how many people were enrolled in the study.\u2019 A study with twelve children, that\u2019s nice. But I\u2019m giving you a meta-analysis with 1.5 million children. I say, \u2018We need to look at disclosures.\u2019 If you don\u2019t know who\u2019s funding a study, you have to look that up. If you want to find good studies yourself, try Google Scholar, because it\u2019s not going to send you to the anti-vax association. It\u2019s not going to send you to healthnutjob.com.\n\u201cIt\u2019s hard to change people\u2019s minds, especially when it\u2019s something they\u2019ve been thinking about for so long and when there are horror stories being shared all the time that they have no way of verifying. You also have to address their other beliefs: that everyone is out to get them, that everyone wants to make money off of them. They were shocked to find out that pediatricians locally come home with like a hundred thousand or a hundred and fifty thousand dollars. They thought doctors were millionaires. One woman looked at me and said, \u2018Are you trying to tell me that my pediatrician cares about my kid, if he gets sick or not?\u2019 And I said, \u2018Of course! Why else would someone listen to screaming children all day for a hundred thousand dollars if they didn\u2019t care?\u2019 They had this very jaded sense of the industry. And that\u2019s where cultural issues come in. There\u2019s a lot of multigenerational trauma, from having been experimented on in the Holocaust and having gotten either no medical care or poor medical care when they lived in eastern European countries and back in the shtetl times. There is also a lot of suspicion of government and whether they care about us little people. The anti-vax propagandists exploit that for all it\u2019s worth.\n\u201cHalf of what we do is validation. In the ultra-Orthodox community, the average number of children a woman has is around eight. In the U.S. over all, it\u2019s 1.8 children per family. When you have four times as many children in a community, you\u2019re going to see a lot more of everything. They are seeing a lot of autism. There are also a lot of special services available for autism and other kinds of neurodevelopmental issues. The Jewish community is savvy at getting these services and using them effectively. So everyone you talk to has a child getting speech therapy, occupational therapy, special education. We won\u2019t tell you you\u2019re not seeing what you\u2019re seeing. But the reason for it is diagnostic. The diagnostic criteria for neurodevelopmental disorders and autism have widened and widened.\n\u201cWe need to convince them that vaccines don\u2019t cause injury. They need to believe the data that vaccines are safe. But my closing argument to them is about community. The framework for orthodox Judaism, if you want to live according to the law, is communal. Prayers require a minimum of ten people. We live in close quarters with extended family. So we should consider ourselves especially obligated to prevent harm to our fellow community members. I go through some statistics on immune-compromised children and the number of children who die of infectious disease and have comorbidities like cancer or autoimmune disorders, which make them especially likely to catch and not be able to fight these diseases. And that\u2019s the hardest pill for people to swallow, even the fiercest anti-vaxxers. Because no one wants to think of a seven-year-old with leukemia dying of the chicken pox.\u201d\nAn Anti-Vaxxer\u2019s New Crusade\nDr. David Ayoub used to be active in the anti-vaccination movement. Now he\u2019s challenging mainstream science again\u2014as an expert witness for accused child abusers.\nA Death from Measles\nA disease that was practically eradicated in the U.S fifteen years ago, before the anti-vaccine movement, claims its first victim in more than a decade.",

        "raw_content": "Design Energy Shipping\nAcross the world, we are seeing an increasing number of plans by countries to phase out in the coming years use of diesel in transport onshore. Now people are asking, with shipping, if electricity could replace diesel, especially with the prospect of the introduction of tougher emission standards over the next decade by the International Maritime Organisation and the EU.\nThe concept of using electricity as a source of propulsion is not new. In fact, the German inventor Moritz von Jacobi developed the first electric boat in 1839 in St Petersburg, Russia. It was a 24-foot (7.3 metre) boat which carried 14 passengers at 3 miles per hour (4.8 km/h). It was showed to Emperor Nicholas I of Russia on the Neva River.\nHere is a quick look at some recent all-electric vessels in operation today.\nNow today, in Europe we are seeing a Dutch Company called Port-Liner in the midst of building a series of all-electric barges. This year, we will see the launch of an initial six such barges \u2013 52 metres long and 6.7m wide and able to carry 280 containers come into operation able to serve 17 inland terminals in the region.\nThe 100 million-euro project supported by a \u20ac7m subsidy from the European Union is expected to have a significant impact on local transport between the ports of Amsterdam, Antwerp, and Rotterdam. The first 6 barges are expected to remove 23,000 trucks from the roads annually in the Netherlands and replace them with zero-emission transport.\nA feature of these new barges is the way in which the battery systems are operated. Instead of plugging in the barges whilst they are being loaded and discharged, the batteries will be carried in one of the containers so that recharging will be simply a matter of taking of the discharged container and loading on a fully charged one which will save considerable time and utilise the existing container handling systems. The containers will be charged onshore by carbon-free energy provider Eneco, which sources solar power, wind power and other renewables.\nTon van Meegen, CEO of Port Liner says that it could allow them to retrofit existing barges, \u201cThis allows us to retrofit barges already in operation, which is a big boost for the industry\u2019s green energy credentials .The containers are charged onshore by carbon-free energy provider Eneco, which sources solar power, windmills and renewables.\u201d The first vessels will complete their maiden voyage later this year.\nLast year, Scanlines, which operates two car ferries between Helsingborg in Sweden and Helsing\u00f6r in Denmark, had them converted from diesel to all-electric vessels by ABB. As a result, the sailing schedule has remained unchanged, welcome passengers on board these popular ferries every 15 minutes. Each vessel is 238 metre long (780 ft.) and weight 8,414 tonnes. They carry 7.4 million passengers and 1.9 million vehicles annually. It takes more than a pair of AA batteries to operate 8414 tonnes of ferry across the Sound that separates the two cities. Each vessel has installed 640 batteries of 6.5 kWh, plus transformers, converters and cooling of the batteries. Cables run from the deckhouses to connecting points at each end of the ship so that the batteries can be quick-charged \u2013 to provide the power of 70 electric cars. As the result of the conversion of the ferries, they are now biggest all electric vessels in Europe.\nLucy Gilliam \u2014 an expert on aviation and shipping at Brussels-based nongovernmental organisation Transport and Environment suggested, \u201cthat the ferries on the popular route between Dover and Calais would be and another likely prospect for switching car ferries from diesel to electric, since the batteries needed only take up 1% of the ship.\u201d\nShip owner Norled operates on the Ampere ferry link across Sognefjord between Lavik and Oppedal, Norway. The fully electric ferry travels six kilometers across the fjord 34 times a day, with each trip taking around 20 minutes.\nIn March 2018, Norway Fjord1, a major Norwegian transport conglomerate which operates 75 ships, placed an important order of up to 50 such all-electric vessels with the Havyard Group to build a fleet of battery-electric ferries. The news comes after the operators of the first all-electric ferry in Norway, the \u2018Ampere\u2019, reported some impressive statistics after operating for over 2 years.\nThe Ampere was the world\u2019s first electric-powered car ferry and generates zero emissions and minimum sound. They delivered the ferry in October 2014 and commercial operations began in May 2015. It operates on a 5.7km crossing in the Sognefjord between the villages of Lavik and Oppedal. It makes approximately 34 trips a day, each trip taking 20 minutes, excluding the 10min of loading and unloading time for cars and passengers. The ferry is designed as a catamaran with two hulls. It is 80m-long and 21m-wide with seven crew cabins and 140 chairs. It accommodates up to 120 cars and 360 passengers.\nHavyard Group constructed the Ampere\u2019s hulls out of aluminium rather than steel, in order to cut down on the overall weight of the ferry. It features LED lighting, solar panels and a heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) on board for low-energy consumption. It also features electric instant water heaters on board. The vessel\u2019s propulsion system integrates Siemens BluDrive PlusC solutions. It has two on-board 450kW electric motors, one of them driving the thrusters. The motors are powered by lithium-ion batteries with an overall output of 1,000kWh and a weight of 10t.\nIn November 2017, they launched the world\u2019s first 2000 metric ton all-electric barge in the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou. This vessel is a 70-metre long (229 feet) and 14-metre wide (45 feet) and is equipped with over 1,000 lithium batteries, with a total capacity of 2,400 kilowatt-hours. By comparison, Tesla\u2019s Model X is equipped with a 100-kWh battery that allows it to drive nearly 570 kilometres (350 miles). The Guangzhou Shipyard International constructed it and it has zero exhaust emissions. The vessel is powered by lithium batteries and has a range of up to 80 km after a two-hour recharge. The barge is designed to carry coal to power stations in the Pearl River region and elsewhere along the Chinese coast.\nOne thing is clear the news of developments by shipping in both coastal and inland waterways away from diesel to other fuels such as electricity, is a major step change by the shipping industry meeting the goals of the Paris Accord.\nelectric barges electric ships Fjord1 Guangzhou Shipyard International Port-Liner Scanlines\nNicnewmanoxford.com > Design > Electric shipping",

Labor laws allow larger farms to hire kids as young as 12.\nIt Is Legal For Kids To Work On Tobacco Farms, But It Can Make Them Sick\nMorning dew glistens on a tobacco leaf in a field outside Rolesville, N.C. Despite a worldwide decline in production, tobacco remains North Carolina's most valuable crop. Allen Breed/AP hide caption\nAllen Breed/AP\nMorning dew glistens on a tobacco leaf in a field outside Rolesville, N.C. Despite a worldwide decline in production, tobacco remains North Carolina's most valuable crop.\nIn the U.S., children under the age of 18 are legally barred from purchasing cigarettes or other tobacco products. But they are allowed to harvest tobacco on farms.\nDespite a worldwide decline in production, tobacco remains North Carolina's most valuable crop. In 2017, the total value of tobacco produced in the state was just under $725 million, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.\nThe Fair Labor Standards Act, which governs child labor, makes exceptions to child labor laws for small farms and allows hires as young as 12 for larger ones. During tobacco picking season, some of the smaller farms in North Carolina will hire kids as young as 7 years old, says Melissa Bailey Castillo, outreach coordinator at the Kinston Community Health Center in Kinston, N.C.\nTobacco farmers say they need the extra labor, especially during harvest season, and in rural North Carolina, kids say they need to work to help support their families, according to a study by Human Rights Watch. But child worker advocates like Castillo say that loose U.S. regulations and tobacco industry policies have left these kids vulnerable to the health risks of nicotine and pesticide exposure.\n\"It's kind of a legacy in eastern North Carolina,\" Castillo tells Here & Now's Robin Young. \"Either your neighbor owns a farm, or a relative owns a farm. Tobacco obviously is part of that heritage, and kids have been working in it, farmers will tell you, for generations.\"\nWhile the U.S. government has acknowledged the risks of tobacco farming, it's still legal for kids at age 12 to work on a tobacco farm of any size with parental permission, and there's no minimum age for children to work on small tobacco farms or those owned by family.\nIn 2015, Human Rights Watch interviewed 33 children, ages 13 to 17, who worked on tobacco farms in North Carolina. Nearly all of the children interviewed described experiencing symptoms of nausea, vomiting, headaches, dizziness, skin irritation or respiratory symptoms either during or after work.\n\"I [still] get headaches and ... my stomach hurts,\" 16-year-old Elena G., who has worked in tobacco fields since she was 12, told Human Rights Watch. \"And like I feel nauseous. ... I just feel like my stomach is like rumbling around. I feel like I'm gonna throw up.\"\nCastillo explains that many people who work with this crop will develop what's called green tobacco sickness.\n\"This nicotine is absorbed through the skin,\" she says. \"It's not unusual that by lunchtime, you're throwing up, you're vomiting.\"\nNew Numbers On Child Labor Are Not Encouraging\nCastillo says many kids don't know how to protect themselves from nicotine poisoning, and they often don't wear gloves because they tend to tear the tobacco leaves. Human Rights Watch reported that most of the kids they talked to had never even heard of green tobacco sickness.\nFederal regulations also require access to handwashing facilities and toilets, but most of the children who spoke to Human Rights Watch said they lacked access or it was very limited. Human Rights Watch also found that many kids weren't notified when their employers sprayed pesticides in the field, even though EPA regulations prohibit child workers from handling pesticides and other toxic chemicals.\nCastillo says there is a lot of secrecy surrounding children working in tobacco fields. When kids show up at the doctor with symptoms of nicotine poisoning, they often won't tell the doctor they had been working on a tobacco farm.\nSince publishing an initial report in 2014, Human Rights Watch says some tobacco companies have reviewed and updated their policies on child workers, but enforcement on actual farms is still a challenge.\nThe U.S. government has also struggled to strengthen regulations for children working in the agricultural industry, which is treated differently than other industries under the Fair Labor Standards Act. In 2011, the Department of Labor proposed an update to the list of agricultural jobs dangerous for children, but it dropped those recommendations after pushback from farm lobbying groups, such as the American Farm Bureau.\n\"Farm Bureau advocates for the interests of farmers,\" the American Farm Bureau said in a statement to Here & Now. \"Our policies are set out by our delegates \u2014 everyday agricultural producers who are very proud of their heritage. We are not in the business of protecting, promoting or prosecuting bad actors.\"\nIn Ads, Tobacco Companies Admit They Made Cigarettes More Addictive\nCastillo says that farm lobbying groups claim that regulating child workers destroys the fabric of American farms, which are run by families. But she says most farms that rely on child labor are not small, family-run operations.\n\"The farms impacted most by child farm workers, they were enormous operations, corporate farms,\" Castillo says. \"It was not a matter of the Smiths down the road employing children through a contractor \u2014 that was rare, if at all.\"\nRegulations need to be stricter and enforced, she says, because it's not just a couple kids out there working in the tobacco fields of North Carolina or in other states with large tobacco sectors.\n\"The last summer that I was out doing a count, I stopped at 100 kids in two counties \u2014 that's just who I found,\" she says.",

President-elect Donald Trump is expected to name Tillerson as his nominee for secretary of state today. Nicholas Kamm/AFP/Getty Images hide caption\nPresident-elect Donald Trump, in a statement early this morning, announced his intention to nominate ExxonMobil chairman and CEO Rex Tillerson to lead the State Department and become the country's top diplomat.\nHere are some key facts about the president-elect's nominee for the final major position to be filled in his Cabinet:\nTillerson is the Wichita Falls, Texas-born son of a Boy Scouts of America administrator who rose to become an Eagle Scout himself, Steve Coll told NPR's Michel Martin. He joined Exxon Co., U.S.A. shortly after earning a Bachelor of Science degree in civil engineering from the University of Texas at Austin.\nStill, Coll notes in a New Yorker piece that the oil giant runs a very State Department-like team of analysts that predicts which countries will remain stable enough to ensure profitable investment. And The Washington Post's Philip Rucker reported late Monday that Tillerson came with recommendations from former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.\nCouncil on Foreign Relations president Richard Haass told NPR's David Greene that the selection could work, with the right support.\n\"There's some difference between knowing about the world and knowing about foreign policy,\" Haass said. \"He'd obviously need to surround himself with people who had experience on the ground inside the department and around the inter-agency process.\"\nRussian President Vladimir Putin (right) and ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson (left) attend a signing ceremony of an agreement between state-controlled Russian oil company Rosneft and ExxonMobil in 2012 at the Black Sea port of Tuapse, southern Russia. Mikhail Klimentyev/AP hide caption\nHe's had extensive dealings with Russia \u2014 which may complicate his confirmation\nTillerson spent much of his ExxonMobil career in the company's international division, Coll told NPR, developing ties to countries around the world \u2014 particularly Russia.\nTillerson developed close ties to state-run oil company Rosneft, NPR's Lucian Kim reports, and had reached agreements to run development projects with Rosneft in Siberia and the Russian Arctic. Those projects came to a halt when the U.S. imposed economic sanctions following Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014. But the agreements left him with a good reputation in the country.\n\" 'The Russians respect strength, and they see it in ExxonMobil and Rex Tillerson. They like him,' Edward Verona, a former ExxonMobil Russia vice president, told NPR. 'Putin likes that personality type \u2014 not exactly the Trump personality, but the personality that quietly projects power, discipline, control. ... It's a pretty good example of diplomacy, alliance-building, seeing who your friends are and what they can do for you. It was pretty shrewd deal-making.' \"\nThe Russian Hacking Controversy: What We Do And Don't Know\nFollowing CIA allegations of Russian hacking to benefit Trump during the 2016 presidential campaign, Tillerson will have to explain those ties to senators if he's to be confirmed, CFR's Haass told NPR.\n\"He would have to say, 'Here's why I did what I did at the time. Here's how I'm going to separate myself from it now. Here's how I view Russia and how I would approach policy toward Russia.' So this is now probably the biggest single set of questions he would have to tackle.\"\nOil trucks line up in April 2013 at the Bazian refinery near the city of Sulaymaniyah in the semi-autonomous Kurdish region of northern Iraq. ExxonMobil was one of several oil companies to negotiate with the regional government, despite opposition from Baghdad and the United States. Sebastian Meyer/Corbis via Getty Images hide caption\nSebastian Meyer/Corbis via Getty Images\nThe diplomatic goals of Tillerson's company haven't always lined up with those of his government\nThe post-Crimea sanctions were not the first time ExxonMobil's goals were at cross-purposes with those of the United States, Coll told NPR.\n\"ExxonMobil is a very large corporation that really sees itself as an independent sovereign in the world. It has revenue the size of the economy of South Africa. It operates all over the world, negotiating with leaders on behalf of its shareholders. It's kind of a parallel quasi-state.\"\nExxon operates in more than 50 different countries, The New York Times reports; Tillerson became an important figure in nations around the world, Coll wrote in The New Yorker. He offered the example of ExxonMobil's business activity in the African nation of Chad:\n\"During the mid-two-thousands, the entirety of U.S. aid and military spending in the country directed through the U.S. Embassy in the capital, N'Djamena, amounted to less than twenty million dollars annually, whereas the royalty payments Exxon made to the government as part of an oil-production agreement were north of five hundred million dollars. Idriss D\u00e9by, the authoritarian President of Chad, did not need a calculator to understand that Rex Tillerson was more important to his future than the U.S. Secretary of State.\n\"In Kurdistan, during the Obama Administration, Tillerson defied State Department policy and cut an independent oil deal with the Kurdish Regional Government, undermining the national Iraqi government in Baghdad. ExxonMobil did not ask permission. After the fact, Tillerson arranged a conference call with State Department officials and explained his actions, according to my sources, by saying, 'I had to do what was best for my shareholders.' \"",

        "raw_content": "Tropical Storm Ida Repairs Underway\nContact: Regina P. Jones-Brake, 410-629-6061\nTropical Storm Ida may be just a weather memory to some; however, the National Park Service and Fish and Wildlife Service are still repairing the damage on Assateague Island caused by the storm. Repairs in the Maryland District are pretty much completed with over 1,800 tires and 40 tons of debris removed from the beach. However, there is still a lot of work that needs to be completed in the Virginia District. \u201cThe National Park Service has requested approximately $550,000 in emergency funding to rebuild the Virginia parking lots on the beach and if the funding is approved and the weather cooperates we will have them open in time for the summer season\u201d, according to Assateague Island National Seashore Superintendent Trish Kicklighter.\nThe National Park Service, working closely with the Fish and Wildlife Service, has already started some of the preliminary repairs in order to get a couple of the parking lots open as soon as possible. However, they will wait until the threat of Nor\u2019easters has passed for the season before they finish all four lots. Parking lots #1 and #2 will be relocated a little to the west in order to provide better protection from over wash by the ocean. Parking lot #3 will be reconfigured to tie into parking lot #2 and parking lot #4 will remain in the same location as last year.\n\u201cKeeping the parking lots on the beach is not a sustainable solution. We must find an alternate location on more stable land that is not threatened by rising sea levels or frequent storm damage\u201d, said Superintendent Kicklighter. The National Park Service and the Fish and Wildlife Service are both developing long range management plans that will try to find a more permanent alternative for visitor parking. \u201cAt this point we have not identified an alternative site for the parking lots. But one thing is for sure, before we abandon the parking lots on the beach we need to have the new parking lots built so there will always be ample parking for Island visitors. Both the National Park Service and the Fish and Wildlife Service realize how important those parking lots are to the local community and county\u201d said Superintendent Kicklighter.",

        "raw_content": "Home Blog Motor Vehicle Compensation: Cases Round-Up\nMotor Vehicle Compensation: Cases Round-Up\nIn our latest round-up of motor vehicle compensation cases, we take a look at a number of decisions including Cheng v Geussens where a cyclist riding on the footpath was found to have a higher level of responsibility for an incident with a car.\nCyclist on Footpath Had Higher Level of Responsibility\nIn Cheng v Geussens, the trial judge could not determine whether a bicycle rider or the driver of a car which collided with him had the green traffic lights in their favour. The NSW Court of Appeal found that both parties had failed to keep a proper lookout. However, one factor favoured the car driver, namely that at the point at which each should have seen the other, the cyclist was on the footpath and could have been expected not to commence to cross in front of a travelling car, whereas the car was travelling at a speed which would have indicated that it was not about to stop. This placed a higher level of responsibility on the bicyclist who was found 67% at fault and the driver 33% at fault.\nDamages Reduced for Pedestrian Wearing Dark Clothing at Night\nIn Marien v Gardiner, a pedestrian was walking along a roadway in the early hours of the morning with his back to the oncoming traffic. He was wearing dark clothing and there was no natural light. There was no assistance from one available street light. The evidence indicated that the driver, who was travelling at about 50 kph (the speed limit), could have seen and prevented the accident if the headlights had been on high beam. The primary judge found for the plaintiff, but reduced his damages by 50%.\nMotorcyclist Wins Substantial Damages for Roadworks Debris Accident\nIn Pillinger v Lismore City Council, the Supreme Court of NSW held that the local council had been negligent in failing to adequately remove and warn of roadbase and aggregate that had been left by the side of a road after roadworks. After a severe rainstorm the material had been washed across the road by water overflowing from a table drain and a passing motorcyclist had lost control of his bike on the loose material and suffered serious injuries. He was awarded substantial damages for his injuries and disabilities.\nFailure to Prove Negligence for Property Damage Prevents Personal Injury Claim\nIn Charafeddine v Morgan, the NSW Court of Appeal confirmed that a woman injured in a car accident, who had originally sued the other car owner only for property damage to her car in the Small Claims Division of the Local Court, and had failed to prove negligence in those proceedings, was later prevented from suing that car owner for her personal injuries. The Court of Appeal found that she could not re-litigate the issue of negligence which she had failed to prove in the Local Court proceedings. The Court of Appeal observed that she could previously have commenced her personal injuries claim in the District Court and sought the property damage claim transferred to the District Court to be heard at the same time. Alternatively, as an interim measure, she could have applied for an adjournment to allow herself time to commence her personal injuries claim.\nNegligent Placement of Median Strip Caused Motorbike Collision\nIn Grant v Roads & Traffic Authority (RTA), the Supreme Court of NSW awarded substantial damages to a motorbike rider who had suffered serious injuries when his motorbike collided with a median strip. The Court found that the RTA had been negligent in placing a median strip, commencing on the eastern side of an intersection, without a sign indicating its non-alignment with the lanes on the western side; the Court found that the median strip posed a not insignificant risk to road users exercising reasonable care for their own safety. The Court stated that, \u201cit was negligent to install the median strip and not to have placed, on or at the nose of the median strip, a sign warning of its location that could be seen by road users travelling up the hill on Epping Road towards the intersection\u201d.",

        "title": "Heart Disease Nutrition - Nutritionist Resource",
        "raw_content": "Heart disease is an umbrella term that consists of a number of conditions affecting the heart. The term is used interchangeably with cardiac disease, but is not to be confused with cardiovascular disease that includes disorders of both the heart and blood vessels.\nCoronary heart disease is referred to as \u2018heart disease\u2019. As well as being the most common, it is the most deadly. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death in the UK and worldwide.\nOther conditions that sit under the heart disease umbrella include, but are not limited to; angina, arrhythmia, congenital heart disease and heart failure.\nOn this page we will explore coronary heart disease in more detail, its symptoms and how a heart healthy diet can aid in preventing it. We will also explore how a nutrition professional can help.\nCoronary heart disease (CHD) describes the process where your coronary arteries narrow due to an accumulation of fatty deposits in their walls. Over time, these deposits may break away, causing a blockage in the arteries and stopping the flow of oxygenated blood to the heart. This process is called atherosclerosis. The pain atherosclerosis causes is known as angina, one of the main symptoms of CHD.\nThe two most common symptoms of CHD are heart attack and angina.\nAngina, a type of chest pain, is caused when your coronary arteries become narrowed.\nYou may have felt a similar sensation if you have had indigestion before, as it can be mild and uncomfortable. However, if you experience a severe angina attack, it can feel painful. There is typically a tightness around the centre of the chest, which can spread to the stomach, neck, arms, back or jaw.\nAngina is usually triggered when taking part in physical activity or in stressful situations. Symptoms tend to pass in 10 minutes or less and they can be relieved by a nitrate tablet or spray, or simply by resting.\nA heart attack is caused by a complete blockage of your arteries. It can cause considerable damage if it is not treated straight away and can be fatal.\nThe symptoms of a heart attack often correlate with angina, but they are more severe.\nbouts of breathlessness\npain in other parts of the body.\nSimilar to angina, the symptoms can feel like indigestion. For example, they may include heartburn, a heaviness in your chest or a stomach ache.\nHeart attacks can happen at any moment in time, even when you are relaxing. If you suffer from heart pains for more than 15 minutes, this could indicate the start of a heart attack.\nMany causes of coronary heart disease can be reduced by making a number of lifestyle changes. Causes include:\nSome risk factors are predetermined and cannot be changed. These include:\nYou can reduce the risk of developing coronary heart disease by making certain lifestyle changes. If you already have it, you can reduce the chance of having any further episodes by doing the same.\nThe lifestyle changes include:\nbecoming physically active\ndrinking less alcohol.\nPreventing heart disease with a healthy, balanced diet\nEating a healthy, balanced diet is key to preventing heart disease.\nTo reduce the risk of developing coronary heart disease, you should aim to eat:\nsome eggs, meat, beans, fish and other sources of protein that are non-dairy\na minimum of five portions of fruit and vegetables a day\nsome dairy foods including milk\nstarchy whole grain foods, including brown rice and pasta, whole grain (wholemeal, wholewheat and rye) bread and oats, pulses (beans and lentils)\nonly a small amount of drinks and food that are high in sugar, fat or both.\nTips for a heart healthy diet\nCut down on your total fat intake\nReducing the amount of total fat you consume is beneficial when trying to prevent heart disease. Foods that contain fat (especially saturated fat) are bad for your heart because they increase cholesterol.\nFoods that contain high levels of saturated fat include:\nTry to replace foods that are high in saturated fat with a lower fat version, or you can start off by eating them in smaller portions. Your diet should, however, contain unsaturated fats that you can swap with saturated fats. This is because they increase the amount of good cholesterol in our bodies that help reduce blockages in our arteries.\nFoods that are high in unsaturated fats that should be added to your heart healthy diet include:\noily fish (e.g. sardines, mackerel and salmon)\nnuts (e.g. walnuts, pecans and almonds)\nvegetable oils (e.g. olive and rapeseed)\nseeds (e.g. pumpkin, sunflower and linseeds/flaxseeds).\nBoiling, microwaving, steaming, grilling or poaching your food instead of frying or roasting limits the amount of extra fat you need to add when cooking.\nAim to cut down on the amount of sugary food and drinks in your diet. \u2018Free sugars\u2019 typically reside in biscuits, cakes, sweets, chocolate and some soft drinks. Free sugars are types of sugar that are added to drink or food, as well as the sugars that are naturally found in syrups, unsweetened fruit juices and honey.\nFood and drink with added sugars tend to be calorific, so consuming too much of them can lead to you putting on weight. Weight gain, especially around the abdomen, is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes, which in itself is a risk factor of coronary heart disease.\nCut down on salt in your diet\nTry to limit the amount of salt that is in your diet. While your body does need salt, too much of it can cause high blood pressure, which is heavily linked to heart disease.\nYou shouldn\u2019t eat more than six grams a day - this is around one teaspoonful. Avoid adding extra salt when cooking and keep salt away from the dinner table. Also, when you are out shopping, check food labels to evaluate the salt content in your food. Food is considered to be high in salt if it contains more than 0.6g of sodium or 1.5g of salt per 100g.\nAdd fish to your weekly shop\nFor a rough guideline, try to eat two portions of fish every week. This includes a portion of oily fish such as mackerel or salmon. Pregnant women, however, should avoid eating more than two portions of oily fish a week.\nTo cut down on added salt content, switch from fish that are canned in brine for fish in tomato juice or water instead. If you don\u2019t like eating fish or are a vegetarian, try to include some flaxseed oil or flaxseeds/linseeds in your diet.\nIntroduce nuts and seeds as a snack\nSnacking on a mixture of seeds and unsalted nuts are also beneficial for heart health. Have a small handful every day.\nAim to eat at least five portions of fruit and vegetables each day. These foods can be a great source of vitamins, minerals and fibre. For more information, visit our 5 a day fact-sheet.\nFibre helps to lower cholesterol and blood pressure. Eat a mix of high fibre foods, including fruit and vegetables, oats, pulses (beans and lentils) and whole grain products (pasta, bread and rice).\nTry soya\nTry to include some soya (25g) in your diet every day. This could be soya mince, tofu, milk (make sure it is fortified with calcium if you swap with dairy milk) and yoghurts. Check the labelling for the amount that they offer.\nEat some plant stanols and sterols\nYou could also add some plant stanols and sterols to your diet. These need to be eaten every day to have the effect of lowering cholesterol. You need between 2-3g per day. They can be found in special vegetable spreads, milks or yoghurt drinks. Check the labelling for the amount that they offer. These products are expensive, so if they are not affordable then it is best to focus on other dietary changes.\nThe benefits of exercise are boundless. Cardiovascular exercise will help burn calories and get rid of excess fat, reducing the risk of cholesterol blockages in the arteries and preventing heart disease. Just 150 minutes of moderate to intensive exercise a week will help improve your cholesterol levels. This could include:\ncycling - puts very little strain on joints\nbrisk walking - can burn a lot of calories without exerting the heart too much\nswimming - like cycling, impact on joints is minimal due to the uplift of the water\nyoga - helps build core muscles without adding extra resistance (weight training), which could potentially put strain on the heart.\nYour practice nurse or GP will be able to tell you if you are a healthy weight. You can also visit our weight management page and use the BMI calculator to find out your body mass index (BMI) and find out how a nutritionist can help you maintain a healthy weight.\nIn the case of managing your weight, a nutrition professional will be able to develop a healthy eating plan to help you achieve a healthier body. This plan will be tailored to you, taking your metabolism, build/frame, lifestyle, dietary requirements and level of exercise you do, all into consideration.\nThe three main areas of weight management that a nutrition professional can help you with include:\nTo improve your heart health as a smoker, the best thing you can do is quit, as smoking is one of the major causes of coronary heart disease. If you stop smoking your risk of having a heart attack drops by half of that of a smoker.\n\u2018Second hand smoking\u2019 is dangerous too. Non-smokers that live with smokers are at a greater risk of developing heart disease than those who do not. The chemicals in cigarettes (tar, carbon monoxide, nicotine etc.) can:\nincrease the likelihood of your blood clotting\ninhibit the amount of oxygen that your blood can transport to your body and heart\nincrease your heart rate and blood pressure, which will make your heart work harder\ncause damage to the lining of your arteries, which can lead to an accumulation of fatty deposits.\nIt is best not to drink alcohol as it increases your risk of getting cancer, but if you do then limit to 14 units per week for men and women. Try to have at least three to four days per week when you do not drink alcohol. Alcohol contains calories and it is easy to put on weight if you regularly drink.\nHow can a nutrition professional help you with preventing heart disease?\nA nutrition professional can offer you expert guidance without the confusion of conflicting theories or commercial dieting fads. Although we have covered the basics on this fact-sheet, a nutrition professional will tailor a food plan to your personal needs and requirements.\nA nutrition professional can provide you with help and support to discover where you may be going wrong with your current eating habits. They can also help find out what food groups you are eating too much of, or are lacking.\nFinding a nutrition professional that you personally get along with is the perfect first step to take to adopt a suitable heart healthy diet plan that will fit around your life. A balanced diet can help you lose weight, lower your cholesterol, reduce your risk of heart disease and experiencing a stroke or heart attack, and improve the quality of your life.\nIf you are concerned that you may be lacking in the motivation and diet knowledge, are suffering a deficiency or may have an intolerance to a food, speaking to a nutrition professional can really help.\nContent reviewed by dietitian, Elizabeth Campling.

        "title": "How to talk about Elizabeth Warren: Focus on her expertise and her ideas, and ignore Trump's obsession with her ancestry - New York Daily News",
        "raw_content": "| Daily News Columnist |\nBrainly lady. (Elise Amendola / AP)\nTo the surprise of absolutely nobody, President Trump is using low, race-baiting attacks to try and discredit Sen. Elizabeth Warren, one of the growing crowd of Democrats running to unseat Trump in next year\u2019s elections.\nThe great surprise is that members of the media are passively doing Trump\u2019s dirty work for him.\nWarren, a brilliant legal scholar, has explained and acknowledged, in tedious detail, how she grew up hearing that her family lineage includes some Native American blood. On some faculty and bar association forms \u2014 after she was hired as a Harvard professor, and after being admitted to the Texas bar \u2014 she identified herself as Native American.\n\u201cMy mother\u2019s family was part Native American. And my daddy\u2019s parents were bitterly opposed to their relationship,\u201d Warren told the National Congress of American Indians last year. \u201cSo, in 1932, when Mother was 19 and Daddy had just turned 20, they eloped.\u201d\nRight-wing media became obsessed with the issue \u2014 not that they give a damn about Native Americans.\nLast year, a radio show hack named Howie Carr pulled a prank by getting a pen cap that Warren may have briefly held with her teeth; Carr then made a big show of trying (unsuccessfully) to conduct a DNA test based on traces of saliva on the pen.\nWarren eventually took a DNA test that confirmed she does, indeed, have a small amount of Native American genetic ancestry.\nIt\u2019s literally the least important thing about Warren. I first interviewed her shortly after her 2003 book, \u201cThe Two-Income Trap,\u201d which broke ground by analyzing a vast database of American bankruptcies.\nWarren\u2019s research concluded \u2014 and sounded a national alarm \u2014 that the average American family is running on a financial treadmill, working hard but inevitably falling behind. Her warnings became real with the 2008 mortgage crash. Congressional Democrats responded by enacting Warren\u2019s call for a federal watchdog agency, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.\nShe went on to make history in 2012 as the first woman ever elected a U.S. senator in Massachusetts by unseating incumbent Scott Brown.\nAll pretty impressive. But you\u2019d never know it from the coverage of her just-announced candidacy for President.\nStanding before a crowd of supporters Saturday, Warren returned to her roots as a scholar of bankruptcy and inequality.\n\u201cThe man in the White House is not the cause of what\u2019s broken, he\u2019s just the latest \u2014 and most extreme \u2014 symptom of what\u2019s gone wrong in America. A product of a rigged system that props up the rich and the powerful and kicks dirt on everyone else,\u201d she said. \u201cWe can\u2019t afford to just tinker around the edges \u2014 a tax credit here, a regulation there. Our fight is for big, structural change.\u201d\nShe also diagnosed the grim, creeping inequality that is eroding the nation daily. \u201cSince the early 1970s \u2014 adjusted for inflation \u2014 wages in America have barely budged. But the cost of housing has shot up nearly two-thirds. The cost of college has more than tripled. And 40% of Americans can\u2019t find $400 to cover an emergency,\u201d she said.\nThat vitally important message from a literal expert on the subject \u2014 and her plans to restructure the tax system and put tough restrictions on lobbyists \u2014 gets lost every time Trump snidely refers to Warren as \u201cPocahontas.\u201d And media nitwits repeat the President\u2019s racist jibes and solemnly ponder \u201cwhether she can put this controversy behind her.\u201d\nEight years ago, Trump promoted the blatant falsehood of birtherism, claiming he\u2019d found evidence that the first black President wasn\u2019t born in America. He\u2019s going back to the same poisoned well with Warren.\nPolitical observers shouldn\u2019t take the bait. The problems Warren has talked about for decades need to be part of a national discussion \u2014 one that Trump is desperate to avoid.\nLouis is political anchor of NY1 News.",

        "title": "Civilian Toll Is Mounting in Assault on Syrian City - The New York Times",
        "raw_content": "Middle East|Civilian Toll Is Mounting in Assault on Syrian City\nCivilian Toll Is Mounting in Assault on Syrian City\nBy NADA BAKRI AUG. 4, 2011\nBEIRUT, Lebanon \u2014 Syrian human rights activists said Thursday that Syrian government forces had killed more than 100 people in the rebellious city of Hama in the first 24 hours since seizing control of its central square with armored columns and snipers.\nThe new toll, which the activists calculated based on reports from people in Hama using satellite phones, doubled the rough count of civilian dead there to more than 200 since the military\u2019s tanks began shelling the city over the weekend.\nThe military\u2019s assault on Hama, a linchpin of the five-month-old uprising against the government of President Bashar al-Assad, represents one of the fiercest efforts yet to crush the protesters and is a signal of Mr. Assad\u2019s defiance in the face of growing international condemnation. Activists say the overall death toll from the crackdown since March is more than 1,700.\nWith foreign journalists barred from the country and the government silent about most aspects of the rebellion, activists have been the main source of information about the government crackdown and civilian casualties.\nTelephone lines, cellphone and Internet service and electricity and water were cut off two days ago in Hama and have not been restored. Satellite connections offered perhaps the only route left to get information out. Activists said they feared that the near total media blackout on the city would allow the military to pursue an unrestrained assault.\nTheir fear was deepened by the painful legacy of the government\u2019s actions in Hama in 1982, when Mr. Assad\u2019s father, Hafez, then the president, crushed an uprising out of the international spotlight, leaving at least 10,000 people dead and parts of the city in ruins.\nOther activists spoke of a critical shortage of basic food items and medical equipment. Hama has been surrounded since Sunday. Tanks and snipers seized the central square on Wednesday, and cars trying to carry food into the city have been attacked, according to reports in recent days. Activists said that doctors trying to treat the wounded were being detained.\n\u201cWhat are they going to do next? Bomb Syrian cities and towns with warplanes?\u201d said Louay Hussein, a prominent opposition figure in Syria. \u201cThis is an enemy of the country. It is not a government anymore.\u201d\nSaleh al-Hamawi, an activist with the Local Coordination Committees, a group that helps organize and document protests, said via a satellite phone from Hama that the shelling of the city had begun in the early hours of Thursday and that it had been sporadic since then.\n\u201cWe are facing a food and medical equipment crisis,\u201d Mr. Hamawi said. \u201cWe don\u2019t have flour or vegetables. People are borrowing food from their neighbors.\u201d\nHe said that residents were unable to leave their neighborhoods because of the sniper fire and that two women bled to death in front of him because they could not be safely taken to a hospital.\nMr. Hamawi said that a soldier near his house told him that the military was just responding to gunfire coming from buildings.\nThe authorities have blamed a foreign conspiracy for the unrest; they said they were battling Muslim extremists who were \u201cterrorizing\u201d Syrian citizens.\nOn Sunday, when the president ordered the initial attack against Hama, the national news agency, Sana, said it was a military operation against armed fundamentalists.\n\u201cThe authorities are using excessive force against unarmed peaceful demonstrators,\u201d said Mohammad Habash, a Syrian lawmaker in Damascus. \u201cThis military interference is unnecessary.\u201d\nAnother resident in Hama who gave his name as Fadi, also reached via satellite phone, said that most women and children had fled the city to a nearby town, Al-Zahiriyah, where they set up a makeshift camp for displaced families. \u201cThe situation is very difficult,\u201d Mr. Fadi said. \u201cI am witnessing massacres. People are dying from their wounds, inside their homes, because we can\u2019t take them to hospitals.\u201d\nHe said that he had heard from residents that in one neighborhood, Al-Alamayn, 30 people had died since Wednesday. Mr. Fadi said the information was hard to confirm because snipers loyal to the government were shooting at anything that moved.\nAvaaz, a human rights group that has tried to document the Syrian uprising, said that at least 109 people had been killed since Wednesday in Hama alone, and six elsewhere in Syria. The Local Coordination Committees put the death toll on Wednesday at 30. Activists also said that residents were burying the dead in public parks because they could not reach cemeteries.\nAccording to Avaaz, at least 2,800 people have been reported missing since mid-March. Mr. Hussein, the opposition figure, said that the authorities denied that the missing people had been detained, raising fears that some of them have been killed.\nMr. Hussein, himself a former prisoner, said that the government was believed to have turned public buildings into camps to accommodate the numbers of detainees.\nA Thursday morning post on the official Syrian Revolution Facebook page said that heavy gunfire could be heard across Hama and that armed men loyal to the government had occupied private hospitals. Snipers, it said, took positions on the hospitals\u2019 rooftops. It also said that hospitals were suffering shortages of basic supplies, including fuel for generators, which are needed when the electricity is shut off.\nSyria\u2019s state-run media has conspicuously avoided mention of the Hama siege, focusing instead on news that suggests that all is normal in the country and what the media outlets have described as Mr. Assad\u2019s noble attempts to promote political dialogue and openness. The top story Thursday on Sana\u2019s English-language Web site was about Mr. Assad\u2019s endorsement of a draft law allowing multiple political parties. Syria\u2019s political opposition denounced the law as a joke when it was announced last month.\nMr. Assad\u2019s endorsement of the law only seemed to add to the international outrage over the repression. France called it a \u201cprovocation.\u201d\nIn a further sign of Mr. Assad\u2019s deepening isolation abroad, the president of Russia \u2014 a close ally of Syria\u2019s \u2014 criticized him in unusually blunt terms. The remarks by President Dmitri A. Medvedev, in an interview with Russian radio and television stations, came a day after Russia joined with other members of the United Nations Security Council in rebuking Mr. Assad for the repression.\n\u201cHe needs to urgently carry out reforms, reconcile with the opposition, restore peace and set up a modern state,\u201d Mr. Medvedev said. \u201cIf he fails to do this, he will face a sad fate.\u201d\nHwaida Saad contributed reporting from Beirut, and Rick Gladstone from New York.\nA version of this article appears in print on August 5, 2011, on Page A4 of the New York edition with the headline: Civilian Toll Is Mounting In Assault On Syrian City.

        "title": "Huronia Chapter - Ontario Archaeological Society: Note on Brian Ross' Talk on the Archaeology of Beausoleil Island",
        "raw_content": "Note on Brian Ross' Talk on the Archaeology of Beausoleil Island\nOn Thursday, Nov. 8, 2012, Brian Ross, formerly with Parks Canada, presented a slide show and talk on the Beausoleil Island National Park excavations conducted at Camp Kitchikewanna over the past 20 years. Here are a few points he raised in his talk and they are offered here to give a flavour of the very interesting 90 minute presentation.\nBeausoleil Island is an 8-kilometer long island in the Lake Huron's Georgian Bay, near Port Severn, Ontario. It is the largest island in the Georgian Bay Islands National Park. Link to wikipedia article on Beausoleil Island.\nThe YMCA camp on Beausoleil Island was established in 1919; the National Park in 1929. Beausoleil is an interesting and diverse location on the southern edge of the Canadian Shield and the boreal forest and the northern edge of the hardwood forest, with many species of plants and animals.\nThe first excavation was made in 1970. The site of the camp lies on an unusual yellow sand, which appears much like brown sugar. This material was deposited by glacial Lake Algonquin.\nThere are two historic cemeteries on the island: one is called the Cemetery of the Oaks. Some remote sensing study has been done of the cemeteries.\nThe YMCA is an actively used site. Both the camp volleyball and basketball courts are heavily used and artifacts are emerging from the action of all those pairs of kids\u2019 sneakers. The daily meeting area also has artifacts emerging from the daily foot traffic of the campers and staff.\nSome of the mitigation effort done in the past twenty years has been the result of the Camp wanting to upgrade their water lines and septic systems. The camp were uncertain of the exact location of water lines.\nThe timeline of human occupation is from the late archaic up to the Contact Period and on to the Reserve Period and to the Boys Brigade 1900 and finally the early YMCA Camp of 1919. Ceramics on the site are of great quantity and diversity. Large numbers of burnt acorns found. Brian said they had found millions of these acorns. Artifacts found on Beausoleil Island are mostly Algonquian.\nIn the 17th century, Fr. Gabriel Sagard describes attending a feast that was likely on Beausoleil. To this day the area is renowned for the wonderful fishing in the waters surrounding the island.\nOver time he archaeological program has evolved to include educational portions for the campers and involvement by First Nations people.\nRecently the Parks Canada archaeology program has undergone a large reduction in staff. There are currently just two archaeologists servicing the nine national parks in Ontario. With cuts to the Parks Canada Archaeology program, future work on Beausoleil Island is uncertain. - Bill Gibson -\nLabels: Beausoleil Island, Camp Kitchikewanna, YMCA Camp\nAGM December 13\nArchaeology PhD Candidate wins Ontario Trillium Sc...\nNote on Brian Ross' Talk on the Archaeology of Bea...\nTay Township - notice of public meeting\nArchaeology of Beausoleil Island presentation at t...",

Its history goes back to the 12th century, when German-speaking settlers arrived in the area (then Hungary). As a community, they had already, before the Reformation, their own political and ecclesiastical rights. The Reformation arrived in the cities as early as 1520, and was officially introduced in all the towns and villages in 1550, with a direct link to Wittenberg, a confession of its own and the adoption of the Augustana Confession. In the independent principality of Transylvania (until 1687 under Turkish domination, as of 1919 part of the Habsburg empire) the churches (Roman Catholic, Orthodox, Lutheran, Calvinist and Unitarian) enjoyed religious freedom. The Lutherans maintained strong ties with the universities in western Europe, especially Germany. They developed a good public school system. Major spiritual movements like Pietism, Enlightenment and Liberalism had their impact, while at the same time a conservative and typically Lutheran devotion persisted.\nThe 20th century was for the church a time marked by deep and sharp crises. After the transfer of Transylvania to Romania (1919) came the worldwide economic collapse and the impact of Nazism, which provoked resistance, also in the church. The end of World War II brought Soviet domination, expropriation, and deportation of the Germans into forced labour. The church school system and the diaconal institutions were dismantled. Yet the church was able to survive in the new situation. International ecumenical contacts were crucial during this period. It was possible to found an institute for higher theological learning in cooperation with other churches. But the political and economic conditions in the country led to an erosion of church life due to the increasing emigration of members of the congregations. It became a massive exodus after the political changes in Romania in 1989 and the opening of the borders. The church, which in spite of huge losses, still had 190,000 members in 1945, only has some 14,000 left now. The church has been able to survive this decline in numbers, and to consolidate and adapt itself in the totally changed diaspora situation. The centres of gravity of its service are today diakonia and pastoral work. Several homes for the elderly have been set up, places for encounter and meetings have been created, religious education and youth work have been re-organized, and an evangelical academy deals in ecumenical cooperation with issues of society.\nTogether with the Hungarian-speaking Evangelical-Lutheran Church with which the church has strong ties, and with the much larger Reformed Church, it has been possible to re-establish in Romania the Gustav-Adolf Institution. The small Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession in Romania is again seen in the ecumenical environment as a reliable and therefore often solicited partner. In the political and social context in which it finds itself, the church endeavours in its own way to preserve and bring to fruition the Lutheran identity and to hand on the witness of the Reformation.",

        "raw_content": "Managed Investment Trusts \u2013 The Appeal for Investors\nFor investors wishing to invest in Australia there are a number of products and structures available on the domestic and international market. It is up to each investor to determine which structure, investment class and horizon is the most effective for them taking into account the commercial and taxation implications and their personal investment objectives.\nIn recent years, the popularity of managed investment trusts (MIT) in Australia has increased steadily, supported by on-going tax reforms and growing investor knowledge of the benefits of an MIT structure.\nThe MIT structure provides both flexibility and simplicity for investors, allowing returns to be distributed tax effectively through the trust structure. It is the MIT structure that allows the tax liability to be ultimately borne by the investor (either directly or via the withholding tax regime for foreign investors). What this means is that an MIT investment can be achieved with minimal tax leakage or risk of double taxation for investors.\nAn MIT structure is particularly beneficial for investments in capital assets. This is because eligible MITs are able to elect to treat certain assets on \u2018capital account\u2019 (as opposed to \u2018revenue account\u2019 holdings) thus allowing eligible investors to access the general CGT discount (being a 50% reduction for individuals and 33.33% for superannuation funds). This means a substantially reduced tax liability for eligible investors on capital gains distributed through the MIT from the disposal of assets that have been held for more than 12 months.\nFurthermore, foreign investors have the added benefit of being exempt from certain Australian capital gains distributed through an MIT (other than gains from real property and permanent establishment business assets). This allows an MIT to distribute such gains to foreign investors free of Australian taxation.\nForeign investors also benefit under the concessional MIT withholding tax rate set at a flat rate of 15% (or 10% for eligible clean building MITs), rather than the default withholding tax rates of up to 30%.\nThese tax benefits apply not only to distributions received by investors but also in the circumstances where the investor wishes to dispose of their unitholdings or MIT interest. That is, where the investor holds the interest on capital account, any capital gain realised at disposal may be eligible for the general CGT discount or otherwise be exempt from Australian capital gains tax for foreign investors.\nAs investor become more familiar with the MIT investment structure, the tax advantages and concessions will help to encourage and promote Australia as a regional financial services centre for domestic and foreign investors at both private and institutional levels.\nIf you have any questions about how to invest in an MIT or need further information about MIT investments offered/managed by One Investment Group, please contact us.\nPlease note that this information is intended as a guide only and should not be relied upon as professional advice. You should always seek specific advice in relation to your specific facts and circumstances.",

        "title": "\"Uber of Birth Control\" in the Crosshairs of Anti-Abortion Activists - Our Bodies Ourselves",
        "raw_content": "Home > Issues & Impact > Our Bodies, Our Blog > \u201cUber of Birth Control\u201d in the Crosshairs of Anti-Abortion Activists\nIf you thought an app that delivers contraception to your door would barely register on the radar of anti-reproductive rights activists, you\u2019d be wrong. In this current climate, where we face daily threats to both safe abortion and contraception access, the anti-choice contingent is targeting all laws and initiatives that give women access to the reproductive health care.\nThe latest target is the California-based company Nurx, creator of a telemedicine app of the same name that delivers contraceptives \u2014 including emergency contraception \u2014 to people without the need for a visit to a doctor or pharmacist. Nurx, sometimes referred to as the \u201cUber of birth control,\u201d is available in 15 states and Washington DC and is looking to expand.\nNurx is easy to use: you answer a series of questions about your health, then select the prescription you\u2019d like, or select the option to get a doctor\u2019s advice on which method might work best for you. The request is reviewed by a doctor in your state, who then writes a prescription that is filled and delivered to you within three to five business days. Nurx accepts health insurance and is also available to people without insurance.\nIf Nurx is all about contraception, why are anti-abortion activists angry? Because Nurx also delivers emergency contraception (EC). EC, also called \u201cthe morning after pill\u201d and sold under various brand names including Ella and Plan B, prevents pregnancy after sex. It works primarily by inhibiting ovulation (preventing or delaying the release of an egg), or preventing sperm from fertilizing an egg.\nYet anti-abortion activists have falsely claimed for years that emergency contraception causes an abortion. Many believe that life begins at the moment of conception, and that using emergency contraception is akin to homicide because it prevents a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus.\nAccording to the Office of Population Research at Princeton University, there is no evidence to suggest that either Ella or Plan B work after an egg is fertilized. In an article on Nurx and its opposition, Susan Wood, an associate professor of health policy at George Washington University, and a former assistant FDA commissioner for women\u2019s health, explains that anti-abortion activists assume that \u201ca fertilized egg is the same as pregnancy and is the same as a person.\u201d But about half of fertilized eggs never implant in the uterus, and women aren\u2019t actually pregnant, Wood says, until the egg is implanted and stabilized.\nNeither the evidence on how emergency contraception actually works nor the scientific explanation of pregnancy sway anti-abortion activists who oppose EC or who purposefully conflate it with \u201cthe abortion pill\u201d (also known as a medication abortion). As Nurx rolls out its service into more conservative states, including Texas and North Carolina, it\u2019s attracted the ire of state anti-abortion groups. John Seago, legislative director of Texas Right to Life, told Stat News:\nWe believe life begins at fertilization. That\u2019s the point where we have an individual, and morally that\u2019s who we want to protect.\nWith science and medicine not on their side, anti-abortion groups are leaning on yet another tactic in their fight to slash access to contraception: telemedicine laws. Anti-abortion rights activists claim that these regulations are too lax and should be tightened.\nIt\u2019s a claim that\u2019s easily disputed, according to Stat News:\nMuch of the fight hinges on a particularity of how the morning-after pill was dispensed before Nurx came along. The Food and Drug Administration has approved a popular brand, Plan B, for over-the-counter sale in all states for women who pay out of pocket. But if a woman is using her insurance benefits to cover the drug, she\u2019ll typically need a prescription for Plan B. And a newer emergency contraceptive, Ella, is only available with a prescription. The app, then, short-circuits this divide and lets insured women easily get the morning-after pill in a way more akin to the over-the-counter interaction. [emphasis mine]\nNurx says that patients receive more medical attention than those who purchase emergency contraception over-the-counter. But anti-abortion activists are pushing ahead with their attempts to legislate telemedicine providers like Nurx, starting in North Carolina, where they hope Nurx will get reviewed as part of legislators\u2019 efforts to study and potentially revise current state telemedicine laws.\nWe face unprecedented threats to contraception access in the United States. A leaked White House memo recently suggested massive cuts to our federal family planning program, Title X. And President Trump has set his sights on dismantling Obamacare\u2019s mandate that insurance companies must cover birth control without a copay. Fighting telemedicine apps like Nurx is part of a coordinated effort, on the part of anti-abortion activists, to continue to strip away access to contraception for people who need it.\nCategories Abortion & Reproductive Rights, Birth Control & Family Planning, Drugs & Pharmaceutical Companies\n\u2190 The Trump Administration\u2019s Latest Plan To Dismantle Reproductive Rights\n#NoChoice: Stories of Abortion \u2192\nPlease don\u2019t ever refer to anything that helps women as a comparison to Uber, one of the nastiest, most sexist companies out there. I support what y\u2019all are doing but you need to choose your comparison terms wisely as if I worked there and someone compared me to a company where sexual harassment is a way of life and they regularly try to bypass local laws (not to mention the long history of sexual assault that\u2019s happened because they don\u2019t background check drivers thoroughly).\nAmie Newman says:\nThank you for your comment and we apologize. We were quoting another article that referred to Nurx as the Uber of birth control \u2014 a shorthand for comparing the two apps in regards to ease of use and delivery. But it is not a well thought out comparison. Thank you for bringing up the troubling issues Uber is well known for!",

        "raw_content": "Smart Traveler: Wilderness By Mail\nNow's the time to send away for tough-to-get permits\nBy Debra Shore\nLike it or not, certain rivers, mountains, and backcountry campsites now have the cachet of a three-star restaurant where reservations are hard to come by. Of course you can always just show up and take your chances--some permits are issued on a first-come, first-served basis, and there are always no-shows. But if you want to guarantee your seat at the table, don't wait till the weather warms up. Start thinking now about reserving permits, where possible, as soon as deadlines allow. Here's how.\nSome say the classic run of the Colorado through the Grand Canyon is the toughest river permit to get--the waiting list is now about ten years long. But what most people don't know is that 40 percent of those who finally make it to the top of the list end up canceling. So the trick is to get on the waiting list and then claim a canceled date. Applications must be postmarked in February and accompanied by a nonrefundable $25 cashier's check or money order. For applications and information as well as a tally of canceled dates, call the River Permits Office at 602-638-7843.\nOthers contend that the Selway River in Idaho is actually the hardest permit to get. The Forest Service issues permits for four sections of Idaho rivers--the Selway, the main section and the Middle Fork of the Salmon, and the Snake (Hell's Canyon) through a joint lottery held in early February. Applications, plus a $6 nonrefundable fee, must be received between December 1 and January 31. Chances of winning the lottery (based on 1994 demand) are one in 24 for the Selway, one in 19 for the Middle Fork of the Salmon, one in five for the Main Sal-mon, and one in two for the Snake. Your chances increase if you don't apply for the most popular dates (mid-June to mid-July). For applications and information, call 406-821-3269.\nOther rivers with high-demand permits include the Colorado through Utah's Westwater Canyon (apply January 1-February 28 for the lottery; call 801-259-4421) and Oregon's Rogue (apply December 1-January 31 for the lottery; call 503-672-4168).\nMany national parks and wilderness areas require permits for backcountry camping, but only a few of the most popular issue them in advance. Yosemite, for instance, has a daily quota for the number of people allowed to embark from each trailhead, and these quotas are usually filled from June through September 1. Half of the permits can be reserved in advance; the rest are issued to first comers. Requests must be postmarked between March 1 and May 31. Call 209-372-0310.\nOther well-used sites where permits can be obtained in advance include Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks in California (call 209-565-3708 or fax permit requests to 209-565-3797 starting March 1); Grand Canyon National Park (applications postmarked the first of every month are considered for openings during the following four months; call 602-638-7888 for information); and Aravaipa Canyon Wilderness in Arizona (reservations may be made up to 13 weeks in advance of your trip; call 602-428-4040).\nPermits are required to climb some popular U.S. peaks, but at most, such as Mount Shasta, they simply are issued on a first-come, first-served basis. A notable exception is Mount Whitney, the highest peak in the Lower 48. To use the most well traveled route, via the Mount Whitney Trail, you must submit an application postmarked between March 1 and May 31 and include a $3-per-person reservation fee. Call 619-876-6200 to get an application. In 1994, applications bearing a March 1 postmark completely filled the last week of June, all of July and August, and the first two weeks of September (only 50 people a day are allowed on the trail). You'll increase your chances of getting a permit if you have a small climbing party, avoid Friday or Saturday, and list as many starting-date choices as possible.\nAnother popular peak for which a permit is required is Mount St. Helens. Applications must be postmarked no earlier than February 1; call 206-247-5800.",

Get one\nBy Melanie Neale\nOur Favorite Places | The Hysterical Parent | Inside Skinny | Staying Safe\nFor the past 16 years (my entire life), I've lived with my parents and my 14-year-old sister, Carolyn, on the 47-foot Chez Nous. We spend summers sailing the east coast and making our way to the Bahamas, where we winter. (We're home-schooled.) Each spring, we return north.\nThe thing to remember about sailing is that you're not stuck on the boat. Actually, we spend a lot of our time in the water: We go snorkeling, boardsailing, and bodysurfing or explore inlets and coves in a dinghy. If it's raining or we're on the move, we read, draw, and listen to music. The VHF radio is always on, which is the primary way we keep up with the world.\nPeople wonder what happens if we get mad at our parents or each other. One option is going to our side of the bedroom and closing a curtain around the bed, then putting on headphones and cranking up The Smashing Pumpkins. If we really need to be alone, we'll hang out in the head, the only totally private place on board. But those are temporary solutions. Basically, we've all just learned to get along. Luckily, there are usually other cruising kids around, which makes family life less intense. We've made lots of friends and write to people all over the world.\nFor the most part, we go ashore only when we have to; it actually feels a bit unnatural to be on solid land. Although we don't get \"land-sick,\" we do find that we have trouble balancing and that it's hard to sleep in a nonrocking bed. We usually can't wait to get back aboard the Chez Nous. Kevin Costner, in his line from Waterworld, put it best: \"Land just doesn't move right.\"\nHouseboating on Lake Powell",

The ability to read and write is a basic human right that even now is overlooked in many countries. Approximately 775 million people are functionally illiterate. In other words, they lack the basic reading and writing skills needed to manage daily living and employment tasks. 64% of these people are women, as many societies in the developing world place the education of women as of lower importance than that of men. On September 8th, schools, organizations, libraries and individuals will be raising awareness of this issue, in the hope that one day we can eradicate such an ongoing human rights violation.\nThis year the theme of International Literacy Day is Literacy and Sustainable Societies. The ability to read and write is an essential driver towards learning all other skills and understanding the attitudes of others, both locally and in the worldwide community. Being able to read and write leads to the comprehension of a broader set of knowledge, skills, attitudes, values, health and welfare issues, and can help make the improvements in agriculture required for creating sustainable societies.\nCelebrations for International Literacy Day will be taking place in the UK, USA and many other countries, as diverse as Algeria, Brazil, France, Cambodia and Mozambique. The main event of the day will take place at UNESCO Headquarters, where a two-day awareness course on Literacy and Sustainable Societies (8-9 September 2015) will be organized to address the issues involved in making sure that every person in the world gets a basic education.\nSchools and libraries across Britain are taking part in International Literacy Day with read-a-thons, book swaps and auctions.

        "raw_content": "Hit the Palm Springs Hike and Bike Trails\nDiscover the outdoors and the natural beauty of the Coachella Valley on the hundreds of trails to tromp on between the spires of the San Jacintos in the west and the gnarled canyons of Mecca Hills in the east. There are seven time-tested, easy, and accessible trails which give an introduction to each wonderfully distinct wilderness areas - all right here in our Palm Springs hotel's backyard.\nUrban hiking takes on a new meaning in Palm Springs, a city embraced by two mountain ranges. Hikers can trudge through secluded canyons and scale ridges with scenic views of the valley below. Many of the trails are short enough to hike as a warm-up.\nThis labyrinthine network of rock walls and sand washes near the Salton Sea is the Coachella Valley's answer to the slot canyons of Anza-Borrego. Formed by a combination of floods and disturbances along the San Andreas Fault, the narrow, steep-walled canyons reveal desert trees, a variety of birds, and abundant wildflowers.\nVisitors to the high desert often liken their first experience in Joshua Tree National Park to stepping onto another planet. This place looks like no other place on Earth, with gnarled Joshua trees set against towering piles of doughy-looking boulders.\nPalm Desert/Rancho Mirage\nWith several new trails and trail networks recently added, this area has something for everyone. From the newly completed Fox Canyon Hiking Park to the Bump and Grind Trail, these small desert cities have given access to some of the finest natural splendor in the valley.\nSituated in the Santa Rosa Mountains, picturesque Garner Valley combines aromatic pine forests with wide, grassy plains that recall Colorado's mountain country. Hiking trails climb up the mountainside on either side of the valley, offering views of both sides of the so-called \"Desert Divide.\"\nThe secluded mountain hamlet of Idyllwild consists of a cute little town center surrounded by cozy cabins nestled in the San Bernardino National Forest. This is also a major destination for serious hikers in the area, who cut their teeth on serious peaks like Tahquitz Peak, Devil's Slide, and Mt. San Jacinto.\nThese deep canyons are fed by the abundant underground springs that gave Palm Springs its name. Trails throughout the canyons sprout clusters of Washington fan palm trees around watery oases, creating a startlingly tropical scene in the desert.",

        "raw_content": "Steven Nyman eyes big summer\nU.S. downhill skier Steven Nyman skis to a stop after a downhill race in Beaver Creek, Colorado, last winter.\nPhoto by Eric Schramm\nU.S. downhill skier Steven Nyman competes at a World Cup race in Beaver Creek, Colorado, last winter.\nOn Jan. 30, U.S. downhill skier Steven Nyman, a Utah native and Park City Ski Team alum, finished 10th at a World Cup competition in Garmisch Partenkirchen, Germany.\nFrom that point on, his season (ironically) went uphill.\nOn Feb. 2, Nyman finished third at a downhill World Cup in Jeongseon, South Korea. Two weeks later, he finished second in Chamonix, France. On March 12, he snagged a bronze medal in Kvitfjell, Norway, and ended his late-season surge with a second-place finish in the final World Cup event of the year in St. Moritz, Switzerland, on March 16.\nUnfortunately for Nyman, the season ended after St. Moritz and he wasn't able to continue his hot streak. But, he said, knowing what he's capable of on the world stage is motivating him to work hard this summer.\n\"I hope to bring that consistency and momentum into the summer,\" he said. \"It's definitely motivating in the gym and it's definitely an inspiration to experience that sort of consistency because that's something I've always shot for. Knowing that it's attainable and knowing that I don't just perform at the beginning of the year and then peter out is big. It's just putting all those pieces together.\"\nAnd, Nyman added, his strong results were even more satisfying after suffering an injury shortly after the South Korea World Cup.\n\"Right after Jeongseon, while training in Saalbach, Austria, I landed flat off this jump and hurt my knee,\" he said. \"That's been a big thing this summer \u2014 trying to get this thing back in order. Knowing that I performed in those three World Cups [after Jeongseon] and had two of my best results with a bum knee, that's pretty sweet.\"\nNow, Nyman is training in Park City, both on the trails and at the U.S. Ski Team's Center of Excellence. He said he's rehabbing his injured knee while trying to gain strength and endurance ahead of the 2016-17 season.\n\"The knee is feeling really good and I'm starting to get to a place where I can really push myself,\" he said. \"Obviously, the main goal is getting fit, but there are different levels of fit. There's fit and then there's ski fit. The number one goal is to become pain free. I'm getting there. Two is to get strong as hell and gain great endurance.\"\nTo do that, Nyman said his workouts include exhausting cardio followed by exercises that require more subtle efforts.\n\"A lot of the stuff we do is we basically fatigue ourselves and then jump on a slackline or do another coordination thing,\" he said. \"You're so tired, but you have to shift your mental state and continue to focus. That's skiing. You're hurling your body down a mountain at 90 mph balancing on a little edge. If you're not focused, it's not going to be that great. It's training that ability to focus and push yourself under such stress.\"\nNyman won't have to train alone, though. He said he enjoys the atmosphere around the U.S. downhill team and the alpine team in general. Whether it's mountain biking, road biking or hiking, Nyman and his teammates will be working hard this summer.\nThe great thing about this year's team, Nyman said, is the desire among all the members to prove themselves on a world stage while still having fun competing in a sport they love.\n\"We have a great crew,\" he said. \"Right now, Andrew [Weibrecht], myself, Travis [Ganong] \u2014 we're the strong three, the big three, I guess. Ted [Ligety] can throw it in the super G and then there are the young guys \u2014 Jared [Goldberg], Wiley [Maple], [Tommy] Biesemeyer, Erik Arvidsson, [Drew] Duffy \u2014 there's a lot of talent coming up.\n\"When you have that group support and a vibe of, 'Come on, let's see what you've got,' everybody just keeps stepping it up. I witnessed that with Daron [Rahlves] and Bode [Miller]. Those two would push each other to the next level. That's something I wanted to foster on the team and I think we're in a good place to do so.\"\nThe U.S. will host four total World Cups this winter, two of which will feature men's downhill races \u2014 Dec. 2 in Beaver Creek, Colorado, and World Cup finals on March 15 in Aspen, Colorado.\nNyman said he's excited to compete on home soil in a year where he expects to compete for an overall downhill title.\n\"A couple years ago, I went through the whole [World Cup schedule] and was like, 'I can podium here, I can podium there and there and there,'\" he said. \"I can podium everywhere, so it's like, why aren't I doing that? I definitely believe I can. I want to hammer all the way through the whole season and go into Aspen knowing I already have the title wrapped up. That'd be cool and it'd be a dream season.\"\nIf Nyman's success from the end of last season carries through the summer and into this coming winter, the downhiller could find himself moving up again \u2014 to the top of the podium.",

        "raw_content": "Julia Griffin Julia Griffin\nhttps://www.pbs.org/newshour/arts/misty-copelands-grand-rise-ballets-pinnacle\nGrit and limbs propelled Misty Copeland\u2019s improbable rise through ballet\u2019s ranks\nArts Aug 8, 2014 2:50 PM EST\nIn a ballet world filled with white swans, Misty Copeland stands out.\nAs the first African-American female to hold the rank of Soloist at American Ballet Theater in 20 years, Copeland has had an improbable rise. In her new memoir \u201cLife in Motion: An Unlikely Ballerina,\u201d Copeland recounts that journey from poverty to the spotlight of one of America\u2019s top ballet companies.\nCopeland and her family were living out of a hotel room when she took her first ballet class at the Boys & Girls Club at age 13 \u2014 a late starting age for any future ballerina.\nFor a future ballerina, Copeland started dancing relatively late in life, at the age of 13. Photo courtesy of Misty Copeland\nBut in ballet, a young Copeland \u2014 one of six children \u2014 found her place to shine.\n\u201cI was never, you know, the popular one, the pretty one,\u201d she said. \u201cThese big long feet and skinny legs and skinny limbs were all these things that I thought were negative things in how we view beauty in our society, and then when I was introduced to the ballet world, all of those qualities were beauty for a ballerina.\u201d\nWithin three months Copeland was dancing en pointe. By 15, she had garnered the attention of major ballet companies \u2014 including ABT \u2014 by winning the prestigious Los Angeles Music Center Spotlight Awards.\nCopeland has now danced with ABT for more than 13 years, steadily working her way up from the company\u2019s main Corps de Ballet to Soloist.\nIn 2012, she made history by becoming the first black woman to dance the title role in \u201cFirebird\u201d for ABT, and has since helped launch the company\u2019s Project Pli\u00e9 initiative that promotes diversity in ballet.\nCopeland has been called a prodigy throughout her career, but she credits her upbringing for giving her the tough skin needed to succeed in the competitive world of ballet.\n\u201cI think the dancers that succeed have this fight in them,\u201d Copeland said. \u201cThey usually aren\u2019t the ones that are the super talented ones that were prodigies growing up, but they\u2019re the ones that were told \u2018no\u2019 over and over again that seem to succeed, and I think that\u2019s what\u2019s helped me.\u201d\nBut Copeland has also defied the norm for many ballet dancers in her ability to cross over into mainstream pop culture.\nCopeland garnered buzz last week when the athletic wear company Under Armour released its \u201cI Will What I Want\u201d campaign featuring the dancer. Photo by Under Armour\nShe has more than 250,000 followers on the photo-posting app Instagram, she\u2019s performed with music icon Prince, and she was featured in Diet Dr. Pepper \u201cOne of a Kind\u201d commercial. This summer, she teamed up with the reality television show \u201cSo You Think You Can Dance\u201d as a guest judge, and in the past week, Under Armour\u2019s \u201cI Will What I Want\u201d advertisement featuring Copeland went viral.\nWhether Copeland will succeed in her goal to become the first female, African-American Principal dancer at ABT remains to be seen. But for now, she\u2019s soaking up the experience of performing some of the roles that go along with that position.\nEarlier this year, she performed the lead role of Swanilda in \u201cCopp\u00e9lia,\u201d and she will take on the iconic double role of Odette/Odile in \u201cSwan Lake\u201d when the company travels to Australia at the end of August.\nJulia Griffin is a Producer for the PBS NewsHour, dividing her time between the broadcast and digital teams. She is both the lead producer and reporter for the NewsHour Shares series and a producer in the NewHour\u2019s Science Unit, where she creates written and visual content for the NewsHour\u2019s website and social media platforms.",

        "raw_content": "I'm in deep\u2014and yet, I'm dying to climb out.\nMacBook Air review: Out with the old and in with the new, for better or worse\nAfter nearly 20 years as a Mac user, I\u2019m switching to a Windows PC\u2014and I\u2019m bringing you along for the ride.\nIn this series, my personal journey from Mac to PC will be your guide to the fundamentals of venturing forth from Apple\u2019s walled garden to the vast, teeming, and sometimes confusing world of Windows 10 computers. The topics I\u2019m covering will include:\nWhat drove me to switch from Mac to PC\nWhat to think about when choosing your first Windows 10 laptop\nThe challenge of finding replacements for your Mac OS software\nHow to get Windows to play nicely with your iOS devices\nWhat treasures await gamers in the massive library of PC games\nDespair drove me to switch from a Mac to a PC. I\u2019ve used Apple computers since college, starting with a boxy, wee Apple Mac Classic II in a computer lab. It had a low-resolution monochrome display. And a floppy drive. Soon I bought a used PowerBook 100. From then on, I was committed, steadily working my way through PowerBooks, iBooks, MacBooks, a MacBook Air and MacBook Pros.\nFast-forward to now: I\u2019ve come to rely heavily on Apple-exclusive software that syncs data with my iPad Pro, iPhone SE and my current computer\u2014a 13-inch 2015 MacBook Pro Retina with 8GB of RAM, a 2.9GHz Intel Core i5 processor, and a 512GB SSD. My 400-film and 11,000-media collection lives in iTunes. I\u2019m in deep.\nThis was my first Apple laptop, the PowerBook 100.\nWhy I\u2019m bailing on Macs\nMy beef with Apple is the lack of polish I\u2019ve been seeing in the software over the past few years (don\u2019t get me started on the state of iTunes), and the amount of trouble I\u2019ve had personally with the hardware since investing $2,700 for my current laptop. My workflow has been plagued by graphical glitches, slowdowns, and occasional refusal on the part of my ports to recognize external storage media. At times, my MacBook Pro has outright refused to boot. Heck, I couldn\u2019t get it to format an SD card if my life depended on it. Reinstalling MacOS has done nothing to sort out these issues, nor has restoring my system from a Time Machine backup.\nHaving paid extra for AppleCare, I\u2019ve taken in my MacBook Pro several times to be serviced. A few months ago, an Apple tech replaced the entire bottom half of my computer with a new one\u2014it cost less than hunting down an issue with the laptop\u2019s logic board, I was told. And yet, the thing still refuses to fulfill Apple\u2019s promise of \u2018it just works.\u2019\nMy current workstation setup: all Apple, all of the time.\nThe experience has left me frustrated enough to be willing to step into the unknown and see how the other side lives. It\u2019s a sentiment echoed by a lot of folks online of late, amid concerns that Apple, as a company, has lost its way.\nApple once catered to creatives\u2014hardcore power users in film and music production, desktop publishing, and other artistic endeavors. They valued the company\u2019s hardware for its performance and ease of use. But the last update to the company\u2019s iconic Mac Pro desktop was years ago. The company\u2019s MacBook Pro laptop line saw years of underwhelming incremental updates before being given a serious overhaul a few months ago.\nIf the feedback from professional reviewers and everyday users like you are to be believed, however, the release of Apple\u2019s latest laptops have done more to aggravate consumers than excite them in the way the company was once known for. Having done away with all ports save one for headphones and a few holes for Thunderbolt 3/Displayport 1.2 and USB-C connections, owners of Apple\u2019s latest have been forced to invest in a forest of dongles so they can continue to use their trusty peripherals. Also, the processing power of these new portable rigs is underwhelming when compared to similarly priced Windows 10 hardware, which is salt rubbed into an already raw wound for many Apple aficionados.\nIt's time to switch. I don\u2019t yet know where this journey will take me, but by the end, you and I both will have a well-informed opinion on whether it\u2019s worth it.",

What's this?\nSilent Skies Hardback Add to Basket \u00a319.99\nSilent Skies Kindle (30.0 MB) Add to Basket \u00a34.99\nOn 10 May 1940 warfare changed forever when gliders swooped down to seize the fortress of Eben Emael in Belgium ahead of the German advance. In the following five years of war, the glider evolved into a war-winning weapon capable of landing men, guns and even tanks with pinpoint precision. Across the world it became a vital element in military planning, yet no full history of glider operations has been written. Tim Lynch, in this graphic and highly readable study, gives vivid accounts of glider operations - some famous, some less well known - in every theatre of the war, in northern Europe, the Mediterranean, the Far East and the Pacific. He quotes extensively from the memoirs and eyewitness accounts of the glider pilots and the troops they carried, and he traces the evolution glider tactics over the course of the war.\nThe military glider was a short-lived innovation rendered obsolete by technological advances in the post-war period, yet it was used extensively by both sides throughout the Second World War, typically landing large numbers of infantry, artillery and even light tanks behind enemy lines, but it was also used to carry out small-scale precision raids, resupply operations, and the Germans even pioneered the now commonplace rapid airlift of troops and heavy equipment by developing an immense glider capable of carrying hundreds of passengers. This book summarises most glider operations of the war, amongst which are famous actions such as Eben Emael, Crete, Pegasus Bridge and Arnhem, but also a great many others which are rarely discussed, including Germany's daring rescue of Mussolini, their raid on Tito's Yugoslavian headquarters, British operations to support the Chindits in Burma, and the little known airborne operations carried out on both sides of the Eastern Front. Using first hand accounts of those involved, this is a fascinating story which puts the entire glider experiment into context, exploring its origins, development and increasing ambition as the war progressed.\nThe author clearly understands flying and the technicalities of handling an aircraft with no engines. The chapters on UK glider forces were as you would expect, well written and comprehensive.\nThe Eagle - Journal of the Parachute Regimental Asscoiation\nAbout Tim Lynch\nTim Lynch is a member of the Guild of Battlefield Guides and the Historical Writers Association, specializing in the social and military history of the twentieth century and currently working with community groups on a variety of commemorative projects linked to the Great War centenary.

A mass spectrometer analyzes the composition of chemical substances by means of partial pressure measurement under vacuum.\nFigure 6.1: Total and partial pressure measurement\nAnalyses are typically performed in the field of research & development and in the production of products that are used in daily life:\nMonitoring production processes\nin metallurgy\nin chemical synthesis\nin semiconductor production\nin surface technology\nTrace and environmental analysis\nAerosol and pollutant monitoring\nIsotope analysis to identify the origin\nAnalysis of products in\nthe automotive (supply) industry (leak detection)\nQuality assurance of food products\nMass spectrometers are used to analyze gases. Solid or liquid substances can also be analyzed if they are vaporized in an upstream inlet system. The gas is diluted by pumping it down to a low pressure (molecular flow range) in a vacuum chamber and ionizing it through electron bombardment. The ions thus generated are separated in a mass filter according to their charge-to-mass ratio.\nFigure 6.2: Components of a mass spectrometer\nFigure 6.2 shows the typical components of a mass spectrometer system.\nThe substances to be analyzed are admitted to a vacuum chamber through the inlet system via a capillary or metering valve, for example, and then are\npumped down with the vacuum system to the system\u2019s working pressure.\nThe actual analyzer is located in the vacuum and consists of the following components:\nThe ion source ionizes neutral gas particles, which are then\nseparated in the mass filter on the basis of their mass-to-charge ratio m/e.\nThe ion current is measured using a Faraday detector or a secondary electron multiplier (SEM) after the ions have left the separating system. The current is a measure of the partial pressure of the respective gas molecules or a measure of fragments that may have been generated in the ion source.\nA data analysis system processes the ion currents measured with the aid of the detector and presents these currents in various forms. Today, data analysis software programs are capable of supporting the user in interpreting mass spectra.\nMass spectrometers differ as a result of the wide variety of available versions. The main difference consists of the separating systems. The following four types of mass filters are in widespread use today:\nSector field devices use the deflection effect of a magnetic field on moving charge carriers.\nTime-of-flight mass (TOF) spectrometers utilize the differing velocities of molecules of equal energy for the purpose of separation.\nIn ion traps, the trajectories of the ions are influenced by a high-frequency field.\nQuadrupole mass spectrometers utilize the resonance of moving ions in a high-frequency field (similar to ion traps).\nOur discussion will be confined to sector field mass spectrometers and quadrupole mass spectrometers, as these are the mass spectrometers that are most widely used in the field of vacuum technology.",

Before Christmas a Planning Application came before Council for a \u2018betting shop\u2019 in the middle of Kilcooley estate \u2013 we were successful in getting this referred to an Office Meeting which is happening in the Craig Room of the town hall on Tuesday 17th January. It is patently obvious that this is the last type of establishment that an area of social housing requires and it must be opposed at every step. Not only will this see the loss of current shop premises but it will also encourage gambling and we are all only too aware that there are not many poor bookmakers in Northern Ireland. This change of use and application will be difficult to oppose because of the restrictions placed on Councils regarding planning but other avenues are available to us. For further details on the development concerned residents can contact either myself or Ms Andrea Todd at the Planning Office.\nCourts are responsible for granting bookmakers\u2019 licences which authorise the holder to carry on a business or act as a bookmaker. Currently, licensing procedures include a requirement for licensing authorities to make an assessment of the suitability of prospective gambling operators to be granted a licence. In practice the general system relies heavily on the consideration of objections from organisations such as the PSNI, as opposed to active investigation by the licensing authorities. If we are unsuccessful in overturning the current planning approval then we must pursue other routes open to us. This is a simply insane proposal and in the current economic climate hard pressed families must not be allowed to be tempted by a betting shop just down the road",

        "raw_content": "World Cup of Poker: State & Provincial Finals Decided Today\nJen Newell | @PokerStars | November 16, 2008 5:48 PM In World Cup of Poker\nHome town pride is the theme. Technically, it would be home state or home province pride, but the idea is the same. People take pride in the part of their country that they are able to represent, and this stage of the World Cup of Poker allowed poker players to do just that.\nThe U.S. state and Canada provincial finals of the World Cup of Poker V were in progress at multiple tables on PokerStars today, as players who qualified for these rounds of play were attempting to win their seats in the divisional playoffs next weekend. To represent one's home state or province in the divisional tournament - and ultimately at the World Cup of Poker in January - was the goal of the day. With so much pride on the line, not to mention a swanky trip to the Bahamas and a chance to play against the best poker players in the world at the World Cup championship event, today's qualifying tournaments were serious business.\nBeginning at 2:00pm ET, 25 American states and 6 Canadian provinces kicked off their qualifiers, all with 18 players per tournament with the lone exception of the U.S. District of Columbia with 12 players. Alabama was the most cautious of them all, only seeing five players eliminated within the first hour of play. While other states and provinces had moved on to their final tables, Alabama players were taking it slow and steady, looking to outlast qualifiers that had not even yet begun. Tables running from the start were:\nU.S. - Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, and West Virginia\nCanada - Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, and Quebec\nAt 3:00pm ET, 13 more U.S. states and 2 Canadian provinces jumped into the mix, just as several of the first sets of tournaments were getting down to the wire.\nU.S. - Arkansas, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, and Wisconsin\nCanada - Manitoba and Saskatchewan\nIt was the shortest table, District of Columbia, that coincidentally found itself the first to be near the end. x_jjgrand_x held on to the short stack at the table, not giving up hope. Knowing that third place was worth nothing but the experience, he battled against the two larger stacks for the better part of a half hour.\nAt the same time, South Carolina and Vermont both played down to three-handed action, and it was a battle to see which table would produce the first two qualifiers for the divisional playoffs. In the end, both of them beat District of Columbia to the punch. Vermont was the first qualifying round to finish, first getting to heads-up play when craftyandsly eliminated lbanks25 in third place, securing the first two spots in the division qualifiers for craftyandsly and koslammy, the latter of whom took first place in the tournament. Within moments, it was the South Carolina table that saw the elimination of plastoy in third place to give seats to holdorfold4 and creekrunner7 in next weekend's round. Kentucky and Ohio also ended their play quickly, with Kentucky sending Tom Bayes and CaptSmitty1 to the next round, and Ohio giving the nod to Kid Rock24 and wormdaddy12.\nIn the hotly contested District of Columbia match, xx_jjgrand_xx finally succumbed to the pressure and was eliminated in third place, giving the two final seats to Capt. Amiry and st8_nigga. Meanwhile, the Delaware match-up was decided for PokerNatzi11 and Hars259, and Tennessee ended with carddr01 and Pup Dalton heading to the divisional qualifier.\nCanada had far fewer qualifiers running today, and those tables seemed to be playing more cautiously, in general, than those based in the U.S., but there were two that sped up after the first hour. Quebec was the first province to find its two qualifiers in miloup007 and sclarke792, though the heads-up battle between the two finalists went toward the end of Level 8 until sclarke792 finally took the top spot. Meanwhile, Ontario came to a decision with Tilter and jasonw1978 taking their places in the next round, and Prince Edward Island was settled with peichamp and hotshot1976 moving on.\nAs the ongoing tables took a brief five-minute break to regroup and strategize, 7 more states and 2 provinces got underway. No rest for those following the action!\nU.S. - Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming\nCanada - Alberta and Canadian Territories\nOf the tables that began at 2pm ET, Maine was the slowest going after more than two hours. With most other tables having been completed or reduced to two or three players, Maine sat with six for quite some time. BigPappaTC held a dominating chip lead, finally reaching the 10,000 chip mark while leaving the rest of the pack between 2,000 and 4,000. None of those shorter stacks were ready to give up easily, having worked so hard over the past two hours for the chance to move on in the World Cup of Poker.\nThe two finalists in the Maine match wasn't decided until nearly three hours into play, as Level 11 was well underway. Play got interesting as BigPappaTC lost the massive chip lead over a series of smallish pots, most of which went to cw120473. As the new chip leader took over the table, BigPappaTC became the short stack but was able to double through his nemesis when his Q-10 found a straight on the turn to beat the K-Q of cw120473. The three-way battle continued until BigPappaTC went all-in again, this time with Ah-7h and the best hand against the Jh-8s of cw120473. The board waited until the river to decide with 9c-5d-Kh-Tc-Js, which knocked BigPappaTC out of the game. cw120473 and jamaicadan became the two players who would live to compete again.\nThe second round of starting tournaments, well into their second hour of play, began to see some results. South Dakota was the first to produce two finalists - toddsplace and deblv3 - to represent S.D. in the divisionals, and Illinois followed suit with the declaration of carlsen1989 and Crossmaglen1 as its top two finishers. The Canadian provinces were on more of a slow train, eh, as none of the four running tables had been reduced to even four or five players at that point.\nAt 5:00pm ET, more American states and the last of the Canadian provinces jumped into the fray.\nU.S. - California, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington\nWashington and Nevada got off to the most cautious of starts, not seeing one single player eliminated in the first 30 minutes of play. The Canadian qualifiers that had been running for nearly two and a half hours finally dwindled their fields to find the names of the finalists; for Saskatchewan, it was squirrly0 and SASKUNTER, and Manitoba would be represented by wayroy and juventus777. And as the Alberta and Canadian Territories tables edged closer to those coveted winner spots, British Columbia, the last of the Canadian tournaments to have started, reached its final table.\nMinnesota finally reached its heads-up match between xolivoilx and timmer1946, while Utah finished its business in near-record time; in little more than an hour and a half, jh75 and destroydj were victorious and would move on to next week's tournament. And as 6:00pm ET approached, the Alaskan players began to take their seats at their virtual tables to play for their chanceto play again. Hawaii was the last of the state finals to start, scheduled for 7:00pm ET.\nU.S. - Alaska and Hawaii\nA full report of the state and provisional finals of the fifth installment of the World Cup will be provided tomorrow when all finalists for the divisional rounds have been determined. In the meantime, check out all of the details of the World Cup of Poker V and come back tomorrow for the names of those who are still in contention for the January championship in the Bahamas.\nJen Newell @PokerStars November 16, 2008 5:48 PM in World Cup of Poker",

        "raw_content": "Return of prodigal Spain\nMariano Rajoy wants to make up for lost time and show Europe his country is back on its feet.\nSpanish Prime Minister, Mariano Rajoy | Pierre-Philippe Machou/AFP via Getty Images\nMADRID \u2014 Mariano Rajoy seems to believe the time is right for Spain to reclaim its place at the EU\u2019s top table, reversing more than a decade of decaying Spanish influence in Brussels just in time for Brexit negotiations.\nAfter an economic crisis that wiped 10 percent off its economic output, and almost a year of political instability following two inconclusive elections, Spain now has a fully functioning government and one of the strongest growth rates in the EU. Rajoy now touts his country as a \u201creliable\u201d partner for the EU, offer advice on how to fight populism by delivering growth, and defend the role of \u201cmoderate parties\u201d in shoring up the European project.\nIt is a reversal of fortune for Spain, and comes at a time when the other weighty European players are off kilter, distracted by coming elections (Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands), wobbly economies (France, Italy), domestic political upheavals brought on by referendums (the out-of-EU-heading U.K) or the ascendance to power of anti-EU, anti-liberal governments (Poland).\nBut Spain, which last played a prominent role on the larger European stage in the first years of the 21st century, returns to a different kind of Europe, riven by crises and doubts. It is hardly clear what domestic stability and any renewed influence could be used to accomplish at the European level, beyond making a stronger play for top jobs in Brussels and strengthening the ranks of firmly pro-EU countries. The cloud of a Catalan push for independence later this year could also prematurely end a period of relative domestic tranquility.\nStill for the time being, the conservative government is presenting this Spain as a solid bastion of pro-European values and moderate policies the EU can count on in these uncertain times. Ministers are marketing Spain as a case study on how to boost the economy and reign in extremism at a time of rising populism across the Continent and political uncertainty as the Dutch, French and Germans head to the polls this year and Britain prepares to leave the EU.\nSpain is almost alone in Europe in having no anti-EU political forces in parliament, and Rajoy doesn\u2019t have to call an election until 2020, though his Popular Party only has a third of the seats in parliament, potentially limiting his ability to negotiate in Brussels.\n\u201cWe have left behind a period in which Spain \u2026 was perceived as a problem for Europe\u201d \u2014 Foreign Minister, Alfonso Dastis\n\u201cOur international presence was affected by the long period of interim government,\u201d Rajoy said at a press conference on December 30. \u201cWe now have to catch up \u2026 and the circumstances are especially favorable for it.\u201d\nSpain rejects Nicola Sturgeon\u2019s Scottish Brexit plan\nRajoy\u2019s decision in November to appoint Alfonso Dastis as foreign minister \u2014 as Spain\u2019s ambassador to the EU since 2011, Dastis had been at the prime minister\u2019s side during European summits \u2014 was widely seen as proof of his eagerness to play a bigger role in EU matters once more.\nFollowing the Brexit vote in June, with Rajoy\u2019s political future still uncertain, the Spanish prime minister was conspicuous by his absence as the leaders of Germany, France and Italy held talks on the way ahead.\nHowever, with Italy\u2019s Matteo Renzi now out of office after losing a referendum on constitutional reform and France\u2019s Fran\u00e7ois Hollande not seeking reelection this year, Spain\u2019s hopes of rejoining the ranks of the EU\u2019s big beasts have been revived.\nAlfonso Dastis wants Spain to strengthen its position as a leading player | Javier Soriano/AFP via Getty Images\n\u201cWe have left behind a period in which Spain \u2026 was perceived as a problem for Europe,\u201d Dastis said last month. \u201cNow it is the project of European building that is going through a problematic phase and it is Spain that is ready to contribute to relaunch it.\u201d\nIn an interview with El Pa\u00eds last weekend, the foreign minister said the European Commission and the European Council had asked Spain to play a bigger role in EU affairs.\n\u201cWe want Spain to strengthen its position as a leading player \u2026 in the current redefinition of the European Union,\u201d Dastis told lawmakers, adding the country should play a more \u201cassertive\u201d and \u201cactive\u201d role in Brussels.\nIt remains to be seen how realistic such aspirations are, but Spain\u2019s relative weight in the EU definitely has room for improvement.\n\u201cSpain has an opportunity,\u201d Economy Minister Luis de Guindos told reporters, acknowledging the economic crisis and the lack of a government for most of 2016 meant Spain had \u201csuffered a major loss of weight in the EU institutions.\u201d\nThe most obvious symptom of its declining influence in Brussels is the lack of Spanish officials in key EU posts \u2014 quite a come-down for a country that had three presidents of the European Parliament between 1989 and 2007, not to mention Javier Solana in the post of EU foreign policy chief from 1999 to 2009 and Pedro Solbes and Joaqu\u00edn Almunia in top economic jobs in the Commission from 1999 to 2014. Spain\u2019s current representative on the Commission, Miguel Arias Ca\u00f1ete, is the more junior of two commissioners dealing with the energy portfolio.\nA survey by the European Council on Foreign Relations showed that of the six largest EU member countries, Spain played the most marginal role in EU affairs.\nPundits in Spain pin the responsibility for this state of affairs not just on Rajoy\u2019s government, but previous Spanish prime ministers too.\nSalvador Llaudes, a researcher for Instituto Elcano, a think tank, said Spain\u2019s clout in Brussels started declining during the second mandate of the conservative Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda Aznar (1996-2004) when he changed foreign policy direction and supported the war in Iraq, alienating France and Germany. The situation continued to deteriorate under the Socialist leadership of Jos\u00e9 Luis Rodr\u00edguez Zapatero (2004-2011), with his focus on the United Nations and lack of interest in forging alliances on the Continent, Llaudes said.\nOne problem facing Spain as it seeks to make up for lost time in Brussels is the absence of a leader like Felipe Gonz\u00e1lez, according to Carlos Westendorp.\nSpain joined the EU in 1986 under Felipe Gonz\u00e1lez, a time widely seen as the peak of Spanish influence in the EU.\nCarlos Westendorp, foreign minister at the time, said this had much to do with Socialist leader Gonz\u00e1lez\u2019s personality and his talent in face-to-face meetings, which allowed him to forge strong alliances with the likes of Germany\u2019s Helmut Kohl.\nOne problem facing Spain as it seeks to make up for lost time in Brussels is the absence of a leader like Gonz\u00e1lez, according to Westendorp.\nRajoy and Zapatero have been criticized for not speaking good English and being unable to build relationships with their counterparts. Although this image may be exaggerated, Westendorp said that \u201cthere\u2019s some truth to every caricature.\u201d\nLlaudes of Instituto Elcano argued that, perhaps more seriously, both Zapatero and Rajoy showed a \u201clack of ambition\u201d in Europe.\nAlfonso Dastis Quecedo\nel mojo de bojo\nYes, please. We need national politicians to stop being afraid to come out as pro-Europe and start defending the advantages the Union brings. Hopefully others will follow the example.\nNice, but don\u2019t forget to abide by EU law, when it comes to nuclear facilities. Almaraz is a disaster waiting to happen.\nFelipe Gonz\u00e1lez could not speak English either. This obsession with English only came to the fore with the arrival of Scandinavian and Eastern European countries in the EU family. Beforehand everyone was happy to use an interpreter.\nWhat a lie. SPAIN is falling appart very soon.\nRussianJew\nWhat a pile of stinking bull that piece is!\nSoon the storm of the financial crisis will be wethered out, with Spain coming strong, Germany still going strong and eventually also France and Italy.\nStill abit shaky, but nothing that cant be fixed. Soon enough even Grece will be sorted \u2013 the future tourist mecca of Europe (together with Spain, Sothern France, Portugal and Croatia). Special taxes on English tourists, naturally (or they can sit shiver in their rainy mess).\nWhen EU is back on all cylinders, the English will bang their heads in the wall for puting their country in full reverse (although we feel pity for half of them that have to put up with those others).\nBravo, spaniards!",

        "raw_content": "Developed by \u201cThe Chinese Room\u201d and \u201cSCE Santa Monica Studio\u201d, dropping this week on the PSN store is \u201cEverybody Gone to the Rapture\u201d. I\u2019ll be honest here. Right up to the point of reviewing this game, I\u2019ve heard very little or next to nothing concerning this title. Judging by the title of the game, it would suggest that the game would be a post-apocalyptic story in a dystopian setting. Was I right? Well, not completely wrong either. In a small English town, the game starts you off at an observatory. This was the beginning of my journey. The context began to unravel that something had happened to this town.\nAs the experience unfolded slowly, this game took me by first person perspective and led me on. The environments consisted of mostly abandoned houses, plenty of greenery and the scope of the game was huge. The controls of the game are most rudimentary. With the use of 2 analog sticks, you would control movement with the left stick and the right to for the camera controls. 1 face button to interact with objects, mostly doors, radios and phones. The six axis controls to interact with the light. Right off the bat, you can already begin to see what type of game this is. The closest game I would associate to it would probably be Heavy rain on the PS3.\nWhenever I pick up a game, I\u2019d normally ask myself how a game would like me to start playing it or rather how does it want to be played. Rapture literally puts you on a road with limited hand holding and says \u201crun along, don\u2019t be afraid\u201d.\nIn all its bareness, the developers and designers have created a world that is begging to be explored. Littered with clues, you\u2019d interact with an object and it\u2019d unravel more of the main plot along the way. The \u201cLight\u201d would usually be used to introduce some of our story\u2019s main characters in a bid to shed light on the events leading up to the Rapture so to speak. I found myself constantly engaged and not wanting to turn off my PS4 in the process as I worked my way through the various clues. The voice acting in this game brought new revelation to the plot as you do not see characters as a vision or physically but silhouettes engulfed by light. You would essentially be better off closing eyes, experiencing the sound effects as you allow your imagination to take you on that journey as the developers envisaged. Character development is extremely well paced as you trod along getting to understand and learn about the 6 characters involved in unraveling the mysteries behind the rapture.\nThe score and musical accompaniment will leave you awestruck as much as the sound effects that accurately tap on your auditory and visual sensory systems. As you take an adventure through time, you\u2019d literally feel as though as you were literally there. Harnessing \u201cCRYENGINE\u201d, which is famously known for powering the Crysis games, this game also looks the part. The game design and props are sketched out to articulately portray the 80\u2019s where radios, computers, big mobile phones existed as a page out of human history.\nThis game isn\u2019t without its flaws as well. The pacing of the game almost as intended by the developers was meant to be immersive. As a result, some might argue that pacing of the game is too slow. While this wasn\u2019t personally a big problem for me, there were few instances where I could have doubled back when I missed a clue. Given the size of the game, it would be normal to miss out certain details. Checkpoints in the future perhaps? Maybe a landmark system to revisit places of interest would have been helpful.\nEverybody Gone to the Rapture is exclusively on the PS4 and is a great break from usual fast paced games. Just like life itself, this game appeals to those who enjoy intricately dissecting elements, appreciating finer details in game design and it appeals to the gamer to extend your sensors beyond just visual and auditory as you require your imagination to take you to another place, into the game itself. I personally think it\u2019s worth checking out as long as you tune your expectations to the pace of the game.\nRatings: 4 out of 5 stars\nTags Adventure CryEngine Game PlayStation 4 PS4 review SCE Santa Monica Studio Single Player Sony Computer Entertainment The Chinese Room",

        "raw_content": "This mailing will address the issue of High CLTV First Position Loans. Frequently we have clients come to us with scenarios whereby they are attempting to acquire or refinance a property and they are able to establish a strong equity position by persuading either the seller or some other party to subordinate debt to a first position loan. As you know, banks are not keen on this sort of thing and as a rule you won't see them do it. (I guess it messes with their statistical formulations.) We on the other hand, are more than willing to consider this type of proposal. Under the right circumstances, we will allow up to 125% CLTV with subordinate liens. The following is one example.\nScenario: We were approached by a borrower attempting to acquire a large furniture building from an estate. The borrower had an opportunity to purchase the building for $500,000, but the purchase was subject to the assumption of $200,000 in city liens. The city had agreed to subordinate their liens to a new first position loan, with a small partial pay down, and so our borrower needed a loan of about $345,000 to cover acquisition costs, closing costs, and the pay down amount to the city.\nProblem: Institutional lenders proved unwilling to allow the subordination of the rather hefty city liens.\nAnalysis: We looked at the whole picture: this was a strong buyer making a good purchase and with a clear long-term strategy.\nSolution: We agreed to make the loan, and worked with the borrower, the city, and the estate to put it together--and ultimately placed a 110% CLTV loan in the amount of $345,000.",

        "raw_content": "Listen to the new album by Somerset Thrower!\nby John Gentile Interviews 25 weeks ago\nThere are few things you can count on in Long Island. Luckily, musical diversity is one. The punk and hardcore underground in Long Island continues to be a place of variety and genre-bending sonic output, and that variety has made for some truly great albums and shows over the years. These days, Somerset Thrower continue that legacy as they blend driving post-hardcore grooves with the melodic sensibilities of alternative garage rock, all the while recognizing their own place in the Long Island hardcore punk scene.\nPunknews. Mike Musilli sat down with the band to talk about their upcoming LP, Godspeed, and more. On top of that, you can also check out a full album stream of Godspeed below. The LP comes out this Friday, August 24th on Dead Broke Records, and you can pre-order it right here/. You can catch Somerset Thrower at their record release show this weekend, and on a fall run of shows with Iron Chic on the bands\u2019 way down to The Fest.\nHow did Somerset Thrower come together, and what\u2019s behind the band\u2019s name? Frank: All of us were playing in bands that had recently broken up and were looking to start something new. We were all living on Long Island at the time and hanging out anyway so we said, \u201cHey, let\u2019s do this.\u201d Tim and I came up with the name while we were watching a Beatles documentary in my room. There\u2019s no real meaning behind the name. We just thought it was a weird reference and it ended up sticking.\nJohn: Somerset Thrower came at a time when I had stopped playing with Polygon and Agent had gone a bit dormant. Before we got together, my now wife and Tim worked together at a Starbucks on Deer Park Ave and I would go in there and talk to him while I was waiting for her shift to end. Tim and I had been around each other for our entire teenage years, but we never really became friends until we started seeing each other at this Starbucks\u2026 even though we had been going to the same hardcore and punk shows since we were like 13. But, I had stopped going to as many hardcore shows when I got to be 17 or so, which is why I never really connected with Tim until later on. It\u2019s kinda funny to think about now how we\u2019d both be young teenagers (we\u2019re the same age) at a Kill Your Idols show or something but never connect until later on when we would talk about George Harrison or Radiohead or something more \u201cnormal\u201d like that. So we became friends that way and even after my wife left that store I would stop in there and bullshit with him on my way to or from work.\nSo yea, at that time I had stopped doing Polygon, Agent wasn\u2019t really as active as they were, and Bastard Cut had kinda slowed down as well. So Tim and I both found ourselves in a position where we had been out of a band for the first time since we were kids. I remember not having a band for a few months and thinking \u201cis this it?\u201d, \u201cam I done with being in bands\u201d. At that time, I was like 24 or so, and that just didn\u2019t seem OK to me. I mentioned feeling this way to Tim and he was having similar thoughts so we kinda just looked at each other one day and said we should try playing together. Similar to my relationship with Tim, I had been around Conor and Frank before \u2013 at the same shows for years, etc. but weren\u2019t really friends, like I didn\u2019t have their phone numbers or anything. So Tim introduced me to Frank and we had a few practices. At first Tim was going to play guitar and we were gonna get a drummer. When it became pretty obvious that there were no drummers around that would play with us, Tim committed to being our drummer and he asked Conor if he would play bass with us. We had all been sharing the same practice space anyway, so it was easy to just pick a night and start jamming. So that\u2019s basically how I remember it going down. It was about 6 years ago I think, but Tim probably remembers the precise dates.\nGiven the band\u2019s pedigree (Agent, Halfway to Hell Club, Polygon, etc.) your sound seems at once a continuation of those bands but also very different. Was there a vision for the band\u2019s sound coming into things? Frank: I don\u2019t think there was ever a true vision of what we would sound like, just whatever came out. We all grew up going to Punk and Hardcore shows on LI so I guess we kind of adopted that sound to a degree. We just wanna rock, ya know?\nConor: One of the most important and exciting things about starting a new band is how your perspectives and styles tend to mesh and develop your overall sound. I don\u2019t think there was a specific band or sound we went after. The most integral part, and I think this applies to most bands, is when someone will have a part that you tool around with together and in developing upon that one idea or part, is where you\u2019re likely to start finding your sound. We wrote several songs that we never released in the very beginning, they weren\u2019t bad by any means \u2013 I just look back on them as a jumping off point or a precursor.\nTim: When starting, there was never any mission statement set out for a \u201csound\u201d that we were going for. But the initial songs we wrote did have more a rock/post hardcore vibe to them that felt like a natural progression from all of our previous bands.\nJohn: I don\u2019t think we really had a vision, but we all had some riffs and ideas that were similar in a way. The really early songs were a little more dissonant and \u201cloose\u201d for lack of a better term. We even had an instrumental song for a while, hah! But they all kinda fit into the post-hardcore realm I suppose. The only band I can really think about talking about specifically is Fugazi\u2026but I mean that should be everyone\u2019s reference when they start a band.\nWe actually have like 5 songs written and recorded that we completely scrapped and no one, besides Anthony \u201cTone\u201d Corallo who recorded them, has ever heard them. I think that was the time when we were really finding our sound. Not so much conversationally, but through writing and playing together. Tim had only just started playing drums seriously and Conor was somewhat new to the bass as well, so we literally learned how to play together in the first 6 months or so. Growing up with hardcore and punk, that\u2019s always going to be a part of how I play or approach songs, regardless of what kind of music I got into after. I think the same is true for the rest of the guys. So we essentially wanted to find new ways to use those sounds and ideas, and it took some time before we were happy with what we came up with.\nThe band has never shied away from cover songs, live and recorded. How did you end up going with \u201cStumbleine\u201d as a cover on the Falling Swingers EP? Frank: \u201cStumbleine\u201d was Big Daddy\u2019s (Tim) idea. No one wants to hear a cover that sounds exactly like the original so we fucked with it a bit. The dude from Ataris probably disagrees.\nTim: We love playing covers in general, including playing two of our friends\u2019 weddings as the house band. When the band first started we were messing around a cover of \u201cSt. Ides Heaven\u201d that never quite worked out, but we liked the idea of taking a mellow or acoustic song and putting our own twinge on it. I was driving to work at 4am when \u201cStumbeleine\u201d came on shuffle and I thought it might be easier for us to try that as a cover instead of Elliott Smith and right away we liked it. I think it just happened to be right around the time we were recording Falling Swingers that we threw it on there, but I\u2019d definitely record and release another cover again.\nJohn: We used covers as a way to fill out our sets early on when we only had like 4 or 5 songs we were comfortable playing live, so it has always been a part of what we do. I love playing covers. All the bands I was in before Somerset were opposed to doing covers, so I was psyched when we started playing and everyone was on board. As a kid going to see a new band, a cover would always draw me in or hip me to a new band. I remember The Heist covering Inside Out and getting stoked as a 15 year-old kid just getting into hardcore. Or discovering Jawbreaker through Kill Your Idols covering them at the Local 7, so it was just something I always appreciated. Early on we did a cover of Neil Young\u2019s \u201cDon\u2019t Let It Bring You Down\u201d that was a lot of fun. It was cool to take a somewhat mellow, acoustic driven song and make it big and loud. So Tim had the idea of doing \u201cStumbleine\u201d for similar reasons.\nWe all grew up with Smashing Pumpkins and love those records, especially Mellon Collie. So we played it a few times and it seemed to work. We recorded it because we only had 4 songs at the time and figured it would be fun. We haven\u2019t recorded any covers since then, but we have played a couple weddings and done entire cover sets at random shows. Big shout out to Mark Kluepfel for being the official 5th member of \u201cCoverset Thrower\u201d \u2013 he lays it down on the keys and hits the high notes.\nDespite dropping your first LP on Aug. 24th, Somerset has been an actively recording band for a while now. What is the writing process like for you all? Frank: Usually one of us will come up with the main idea for a song and the rest of us will write around it. Sometimes we\u2019ll meld our separately written parts together and that, my friends, is when the true magic happens.\nJohn: A lot of the songs start with Frank. He will come to practice with an idea or send us a scratch recording on his phone of something he did at home with an acoustic. We\u2019ll then work it out once we\u2019re in the room and flesh it out. Tim comes up with a rhythm and some drum parts, Conor writes the bassline, and I will try to compliment the melody and what Frank is doing on his guitar with my guitar. Conor and Tim also bring a lot of songs to the table in a similar way and we put them together once we\u2019re in the room. With a Conor or Tim song they\u2019ll often write some of the \u201chooks\u201d on guitars and they\u2019ll teach me how to play them. There\u2019s not a lot of ego in the room, which I think is what makes it work. I have no problem playing a guitar part that any of those guys come up and we are generally open to hearing everyone out. I have a lot of fun finding ways to use unique guitar sounds or effects after the songs are completed, even if it\u2019s in a subtle way.\nTim: Writing usually starts with someone coming to the table. 75% of the time it\u2019s Frank, with either a riff or a complete song. But everyone else will help flesh out the idea or help arrange it a little differently.\nThe lyrical content on Godspeed reads as very personal (\u201cBurn Through Witches,\u201d \u201cGrace in Heaven,\u201d \u201cCome One, Come All,\u201d etc.) while the song titles seems a bit ironic/sarcastic. What is your approach lyrically? Is there a thematic element to Godspeed\u2019s lyrics? John: That\u2019s something Frank can speak to more specifically \u2013 he\u2019s the lyrics guy. As far as the song titles, Tim has a list of about 50, or more\u2026probably more, stupid things we\u2019ve said to each other over the years that we think would work as song titles. I personally think it\u2019s important to have a sense of humor and not take yourself too seriously all the time, which is why I always push for the tongue in cheek song titles. If it can take a topic that may be a bit heavy, like addiction or something, and lighten it up a bit, I think it\u2019s generally a good thing. Some of the titles are lifted straight from conversations we\u2019ve had; others are references to silly pop culture stuff or movies we love. It\u2019s one of the ways we have fun with the band.\nFrank: I write how I speak, I guess. Lyrics are secondary. I tend to start with melodies, which morph into random words, eventually leading to some sort of concept. I usually realize halfway through writing what the song is actually about. There\u2019s no real coherent theme to the album. Each song is about something different; whether it be life, death, depression, money, religion, Trumpers, etc. (Does this guy know how to party or what!?)\nConor: Frank\u2019s got a real attitude problem, a little wise ass, that guy.\nSo the LP was recorded almost entirely with Tone (Anthony Corallo of Sheer Terror). What was it like working with him on the LP? How smooth was the recording process for Godspeed? Frank: Tone\u2019s been a good friend of ours for years and recorded some of our first songs back in 2013(which were never released because they weren't good). He also did the demo, as well as some other cool LI band\u2019s records. It was super comfortable working with him because we\u2019re all tight. We recorded all of the music and some vocals at John\u2019s house in Deer Park, and the remainder of the vox at Tone\u2019s. I\u2019d show up, he\u2019d pack a bowl and we\u2019d get to it. He was also very generous with his bottle of Fireball. Due to conflicting schedules the process took longer than expected, but we\u2019re happy with how it turned out. Tone is the dude!\nJohn: Yea, we worked with Tone on every track except for the song \u201cEject\u201d which was done on an earlier session with Phil Douglas. Shout out to Phil \u2013 without him I think there would\u2019ve been a whole lot less recorded music coming out of Long Island. We recorded Godspeed at a house in Deer Park that I was living in at the time. The house had a spare room that we practiced in for about a year or so and that\u2019s where we wrote the bulk of the Godspeed material. Tone expressed interest in working with us, so we took him up on it. He\u2019s one of my oldest friends and we\u2019ve always had a great relationship, so it made sense.\nSo when it came time to do it, we just moved his recording gear into my house where all of our equipment was anyway, so it was a relatively smooth process with only some minor hiccups. Like all projects, it took longer than we anticipated and was not without its petty arguments and lost patience, but all in all, I am really happy with the record. I think it sounds great \u2013 Tone did a great job engineering and mixing it, despite us driving him insane with text messages and emails. It\u2019s the happiest I\u2019ve been with any recording I\u2019ve ever been a part of.\nTim: Anthony Corallo is a saint. I wouldn\u2019t call it \u201csmooth\u201d in that we had to break up the recording process several times to accommodate both Tone\u2019s and our individual schedules, but I love the way it came out.\nSomerset has played a very wide palette of shows from Sheer Mag to Incendiary, and lots in between. Where do you see the band fitting in, in the underground? John: I\u2019m not really sure where we fit in and I actually like that a bit. We have been lucky enough to play shows with a ton of great bands of all genres as you mentioned. There\u2019s definitely a part of our collective history that stems directly from hardcore, so bands like Incendiary and Backtrack have been very receptive to us. Plus, some of our best friends are in those bands, so there\u2019s that connection as well. There seems to be a vague ensemble of bands that do a similar thing to us, the 90\u2019s-style guitar-driven rock stuff has been a thing for a while now \u2013 so I guess we would fit in there as well, although we don\u2019t play many shows with those bands. I like the fact that we can play a shows with a band like Incendiary and then play with a band like Iron Chic and not feel out of place in either scenario. When I was first going to shows, a punk band would play after a ska band or before a hardcore band and it wasn\u2019t strange to me \u2013 it more the attitude and the ideas that connected the bands.\nConor: We all came up in a scene that was inclusive and demonstrated a lot of crossover between genres, I think there\u2019s less of that now, unfortunately. One band that embodies that was Kill Your Idols. They brought people out from different scenes and could play on any show and you\u2019d feel right at home. I would like that for our band.\nFrank: I don\u2019t! But that\u2019s cool, right? I like going to shows with diverse lineups. I enjoy all kinds of music and wouldn\u2019t want to see the same band four times in one night\u2026unless it was Fugazi or something. Stop being boring, people!\nTim: It\u2019s hard to say. We all came up going to hardcore shows and are still tight with people who play in hardcore bands, but we\u2019re definitely not one ourselves. We usually find ourselves being the least heavy band on a hardcore show or the heaviest band on any other show. And that\u2019s fine! LIHC forever, baby!\nFrank, how did you come into doing work with the FREE Players Drum Corps? What kind of experience has that been for you? Frank: They love a good plug! I had been working in special education for a few years and found my way to FREE\u2019s Music and Theater Program in Bethpage where there is a multitude of talent. I became friends with the Director and fellow LIHC kid, Brian Calhoun, and he asked me to be a part of it. The people I get to work with are incredible. They just got back from Drum Corps International in Indianapolis. They are the first differently abled group to compete at the event. Go check them out!\nMost underrated/overlooked band from Long Island? Any era. Frank: Garden Variety.\nJohn: They are by no means overlooked or unappreciated but I think that On the Might of Princes was a really, really special band and put out some of the best music from Long Island that I can think of. Everyone in that band was immensely talented and they wrote some incredible music. I feel really lucky to have been around during that time as a teenager and see them play. They were a huge inspiration then and still are.\nTim: Garden Variety or On the Might of Princes.\nConor: Fellow Project is criminally underrated and probably one of my favorite live bands.\nOne book that everyone should read. Tim: Jailbird by Vonnegut.\nFrank: How To Clean Practically Anything.\nConor: I finally crossed Nausea by Jean Paul Sartre off my list, that\u2019s a good one and perhaps the most nihilistic and pretentious choice I could give.\nJohn: Despite having an English degree I am not much of an avid reader, so I\u2019ll just pick the last book I actually read multiple times \u2013 Petty by Warren Zanes. Tom Petty is the coolest motherfucker ever and it depresses me on a daily basis that he\u2019s gone. I first read this book a couple of years before he died and it catapulted my obsession with him even further. It\u2019s a good read, there\u2019s a lot of great stories in there. It might not be as cool if you\u2019re not a huge fan of is, but then again you might not be as cool if you\u2019re not a huge fan of his.\nMets? Yankees? Sports are for jock bros? Frank: Knicks!\nJohn: I\u2019m a huge Mets fan \u2013 have been since childhood, and yes I have struggled with seasonal depression since childhood as well! Sports are cool. I\u2019m not sports-obsessed, but I played baseball & basketball growing up and definitely tune into WFAN on occasion during my commute. Tim is a huge Yankee fan, but we\u2019re both Jet fans so we can bond over defeat in that regard. Frank and Conor go with the Giants and I\u2019m not sure if they care too much about baseball. Conor and Tim also are big Rangers fans, while Frank and I are more Islander guys\u2026so we\u2019re pretty divided. The Knicks are probably the only NY team we are all fans of, sadly. Conor: Living a few stops from Citi Field has made more a Mets fan I guess.\nTim: Yanks bro. Sports are for jock bros, and I identify as one!\nTriptykon to play all Celtic Frost set at Decibel Fest\nVideos: The Penske File perform \"Kamikaze Kids\" for Bridge City Sessions\nSomerset Thrower announce spring shows\nSomerset Thrower: \"Wake Up, Motherfucker!

Under the proposal only new household renewables installations would be affected and solar co-operatives would be exempt.\nThe NY Times claims ALEC and organisations including Americans for Prosperity, a lobby group financed by prominent right-wingers David and Charles Koch, are trying to persuade the numerous U.S. states which offer net metering to tax distributed renewables generation and roll back state renewables generation targets.\nThe, usually anti-tax, Republicans argue that offering net metering payments to households which have installed renewables unfairly penalizes those without, which are left to bear the burden of maintaining state grid infrastructure.\nThe NY Times editorial adds that the Kansas state legislature refused to bow to pressure on its renewables policy and that Arizona reduced the tax on net metering to just $5 per month but that the renewables industry is bracing itself for a nationwide, state by state assault on distributed generation.\nSolon ends production in Berlin and opens new office\nPower-One rebranded as ABB",

This is an inter-disciplinary study within Queen\u2019s University Belfast, involving the School of Nursing and Midwifery (Dr \u00c1ine Aventin who is also the Project Manager), the School of Medicine, Dentistry and Biological Sciences (Professor Michael Clarke and Dr Lisa Maguire) and the School of Social Sciences, Education and Social Work (Dr Liam O\u2019Hare).\nThe educational intervention - If I Were Jack - has been developed at Queen's and supported by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). The innovative element of this intervention is that it specifically targets young men in schools to think about their roles and responsibilities in relation to preventing unintended pregnancies alongside girls. The trial also follows on from a previous NIHR funded study to demonstrate that the intervention could be feasibly delivered in schools and was welcomed by both teachers and pupils. The study is also developed in partnership with key stakeholders throughout the UK, including Education Scotland, Public Health Wales, HSE Public Health Agency Northern Ireland and the Council for the Curriculum, Examinations and Assessment, Northern Ireland.\nThis trial will seek to establish whether pupils\u2019 behaviours, as well as their knowledge and attitudes regarding unprotected sex, have changed as a consequence of using this resource. Alongside this research, the financial costs and benefits of using the programme will be examined and interviews with pupils and teachers will be conducted to gather their opinions on how the programme worked UK wide.\nFor further information please contact Professor Maria Lohan or Dr \u00c1ine Aventin.",

College essay writing service\nHealth History of a Native American Male\nDue 9/8/18 4pm EST. Native American history is deeply imbedded in American history as they are the first known settlers to the America\u2019s before the British came. However, faced with many challenges throughout history, these settlers, and their families have a unique history worth sharing. According to the website http://indianyouth.org/, the way of life of American Indians differs on each reservation which is many and varied around the United States of America. While there are differences, there are similarities among the American Indian community; Notably, the high poverty rate as there have been reports of up to 85% among tribes, stagnation educational growth, and communities reporting gainfully full-time males at about 33% (http://indianyouth.org/).\nAs a 23-year old Native American male with a family history of diabetes, hypertension, and alcoholism which are modifiable at an early age with a change in lifestyle behaviors and diet. He is currently complaining of anxiety; while the reason for anxiety was not listed as one of the behaviors that he is concerning is his lifestyle which is smoking \u201cpot\u201d (marijuana) and drinking alcohol. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) smoking marijuana and drinking alcohol can cause an altered thought process as the brain functionalities become impaired thus affecting mood hence the feeling of anxiety. With concerned presentation and lifestyle, spiritually has now become a displeasing factor for this patient as he believes illicit smoking drugs and drinking alcohol will bar him from heaven. It may be safe to assume that the use of these drugs is not for medicinal purpose. We provide the best Online writing service to our students. Log in today to get access to notch papers\nAccording to Ball, Dains, Flynn, Solomon & Stewart (2015) Native American has a more holistic approach to life; Therefore, with this possible feeling of imbalance (anxiety) this male client may think he is being punished. It is important to understand that the world is a \u201cmelting pot\u201d in that there are many different people from different ethnic and cultural background. Healthcare providers have to operate with the understanding that opinions, lifestyle, circumstances of others encountered are different. Therefore, non-judgmental and unbiased practices should be the goal (Bell et al. 2015 p.22). Debiasi & Selleck (2017) reminds practicing nurse the importance of proving competent care to the patient through training and assessment as this is a strong self-analysis and the ability to make self-improvement.\nPertinent Questions to Ask in Building a Health HistoryHow long have you been you \u201cpot\u201d?How of often do you consume alcohol and home may drinks per day/weeks/month?What is your employment status?What age did you start drinking alcohol and smoking \u201cpot\u2019?How can we help you? While there are many questions worth exploring, these are crucial questions that will give a greater understanding and knowledge of the patient health history and ways in which the provider can fully understand how to treat the patient. The final question allows the provider to determine if the patient would like to manage his anxiety; to stop smoking marijuana and drinking alcohol; or, both. Sometimes patient wants help with the symptoms and not cure. As the ball., et al. explained while we are there for the patient the goal is to work with the patient on their terms and not by force as forcing treatments can cause noncompliance and missed follow-up appointments.ReferencesBall, J.

        "raw_content": "The Great Midwest Trip Continued exploring Tennessee\nIf you have been following along with us this week, you will remember that I am recapping our Great Midwest Trip. A two week long road trip that started with us flying from Seattle and renting a van in Indianapolis and included stops in Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee.\nI left off yesterday having just spent five days in The Great Smokey Mountains. We headed off to Nashville, Tennessee, the country music capital of the world. Of course you must have a cowboy hat before you can begin your adventures! Giddy up! We made it just in time to get to the 5 o clock tour of the Grand Ole Opry. Standing on the circle on the stage where so many legends have stood. It was a cool tour, but it was only 45 minutes and for our family of five it cost $90. Not worth it if you are pinching pennies. But it was cool to say that we did it while we were there. After meeting up with an old High School friend, we stopped to tour the Gaylord Opryland Hotel. Holy cow batman! That place is HUGE! There was no room at the inn during our trip {we checked} and after exploring for over an hour, we were sort of thankful that we didn't get reservations to stay at this hotel. Not only did you need a map to get around, you also needed a tour guide. Even with the map, we got lost! It was a busy hotel and with a convention it would probably be a fun place to be. With our family of five, not so much. It felt like a cruise ship that didn't go anywhere. And if you have ever taken a cruise, you know that it takes days to get your bearings. We didn't have that kind of time. We spent the next morning exploring the Country Music Hall of Fame museum. I'm not a huge country music fan and it was still a cool stop on our trip. No trip to Nashville is complete without a stop at Hatch Show Print. Hatch Show Print has been creating posters for decades. It's one of the oldest letterpress print shops in America. If it ain't broke don't fix it! Still using a lot of the same equipment you would have found ages ago! It was a hot humid day in July, so a stop was necessary for a nice cool beverage. Which one would you choose? Broadway was lined with cool shops and bars overflowing with live music. Our kids were hesitant to enter the bar {what is with the moral compass?} but until six, the bars are all ages. We had a chance to stop in a few bars and listen to some great live music. Nashville was a cool city. I would have loved to have had time to explore it without our three little darlings in tow. I love live music and the scene downtown was pretty awesome! Even on a Friday afternoon. After resting a bit in the pool, we made our way out to the Parthenon in Nashville. The Parthenon is a full scale replica of the Parthenon in Athens Greece. We even spent some time on the Vanderbilt campus. It reminded me a lot of Purdue with all of the brick buildings. I didn't want to spend too much time at Vanderbilt though for fear that the kids would fall in love and want to attend. At $60,000 a year for tuition, that place is pricey! This concluded our trip to Tennessee. Places worth visiting: The Grand Ole Opry {go for a concert not the tour} The Country Music Hall of Fame Tour the Gaylord Hotel {no need to be a guest} Hatch Show Print Explore Broadway in Nashville Listen to live music Vanderbilt University The Parthenon\nFiled under: real life, travel",

St. Martha's Regional Hospital, Antigonish, Nova Scotia.\nIndian curry is real good. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)\n\u201c\u2026 a well-balanced vegetarian diet can provide for the needs of a growing child and adolescent \u2026\u201d Lacto-ovo-vegetarians eat no animal products, except dairy products and eggs. Vegans eat no animal products. Macrobiotic diets may include animal products, but are made up of grains, legumes, and vegetables.\nPlant foods can include all essential amino acids for healthy adults. Since plant proteins are less digestible, protein intake should be increased by 30% to 35% up to age two, 20% to 30% between ages two and six, and 15% to 20% above age six. Soy protein digests as well as animal protein, while wheat protein is 50% less usable than animal protein. Major plant proteins are in legumes, cereals, nuts and seeds, as well as nut and seed butters.\nVegans and lacto-ovo-vegetarians require 1.8 times the normal amount of iron because of reduced bioavailability as compared to meat. Children need adequate iron since iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency in children. Iron sources are iron-fortified cereals, grains, dried beans and peas, and supplements. Dietary fiber, phytates, and tannins reduce iron absorption.\nZinc is 50% derived from animal products in omnivores (people who eat all foods). Vegetarian diets contain phytates which reduce zinc absorption. Mother\u2019s milk contains adequate zinc up to the age of 7 months. Strict vegans should get 50% more zinc than omnivores, though zinc deficiency is rare. Good sources of zinc are legumes, nuts, yeast-leavened bread, and fermented soy products. Fermented foods and sprouted seeds and grains improve zinc availability.\nStrict vegans may receive too little dietary calcium. The calcium content of mother\u2019s milk from vegans is normal. After weaning, fortified soy products, cereals, juices and leafy vegetables are advised. Low oxalate greens (bok choy, Chinese cabbage, kale, and collards) are good sources of calcium. Vegan and vegetarian children, as well as adolescents may need calcium supplements.\nVegan children get less fat than others, but their growth seems to be little affected. Their diets are reduced in DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) (found in fish, seafood, and eggs). They can eat large amounts of sea vegetables and algae. Vegan adults often have low DHA and EPA. Large amounts of linolenic acid (flaxseed oil, canola oil, walnut oil, and soy products) can be converted to DHA and EPA. Microalgae DHA supplements are available.\nVitamin B-12 is found only in animal products. Lacto-ovo-vegetarians get B-12 from eggs and dairy. Mother\u2019s milk from strict vegans can be deficient in B-12, and their babies and older children should have supplementation or fortified food (B-12 fortified soy formula, cereals) or yeasts and nut beverages). Vegetarian diets are high in folic acid (folate) which helps prevent anemia, but does not protect the nervous system from B-12 deficiency.\nVitamin D can be deficient in vegan diets. In Canada, with limited sunlight, all breastfed infants should be supplemented with vitamin D. Commercial milk is supplemented. Strictly vegan children and infants should be supplemented with D-2 (non-animal vitamin D). Sun exposure to the face and hands for 20-30 minutes three times a day is sufficient for light-skinned children. (Pigmented skin and sun-screens reduce the benefit of the sun.)\nVitamin A is found only in animal products. Strict vegans can convert carotenoids (found in yellow and orange vegetables, leafy green vegetables and fruits) into vitamin A.\nCONCLUSION: Adequate intake of vitamins and minerals is possible in vegan and vegetarian children through careful planning.\nNOTE: Phytates are not digestible in the human body and block absorption of minerals. Tannins are found widely in plants, red wine and fruit.\nSummary 589.",

        "raw_content": "All you need is \u201cLuvs\u201d \u2013 but All you get is Controversy!\nHow many times have you hummed a tune, which you really liked, only to realize that it featured in one of the recent Ads you saw? How many times have you seen a product in a store, and suddenly remembered the cute song that plays in its Advertisement? How many times have you purchased a product, only because you remember its ad on the TV/radio, and believe in the promises it has made?\nSuch is the power of a tune\u2026a jingle in an advertisement. Any marketing 101 book would tell you that one of the key brand elements critical to any campaign is the jingle \u2013 a background tune that enables a strong brand association and recall. As a marketer, one would ideally want a tune that sticks to the consumer, such that it acts as a cue for her future purchases, and keeps his product high on recall.\nWikipedia defines a jingle as \u201ca memorable slogan, set to an engaging melody, mainly broadcast on radio and..on television commercials. An effective jingle is constructed to stay in one's memory .. the best jingles could stick with a consumer for their entire life.. People still retain lingering brand loyalty to companies that are no longer in service, all because of one well-crafted tune\u201d\nSuch an effort of retaining brand loyalty was made by Saatchi and Saatchi, when they created the \u201cAll you need is Luvs\u201d Campaign for Procter & Gamble\u2019s diaper brand, Luvs.\nAll You Need Is Luv's - video powered by Metacafe\nAny rock fan (or even friends of rock fans!) would recognize the background song \u2013 the famous \u201860s number \u201cAll you need is Love\u201d from Beatles. The song was meant to be a tribute to the world, and had a different meaning when it was released. So this time, when it is featured in a diaper ad, does it offend you? Do you feel agitated about a number of your favorite band being used for a diaper Ad?\nIf you are a smart marketer, passionate about your brand and focused towards ensuring \u201crecall\u201d, chances are you would not be bothered. However, considering that some topics are sensitive in nature, and the song was inspired by the Vietnam War, there is a possibility of hurting someone down the road. As articulated at Adrants,\n..\"if you're going to use \"All You Need is Love\" to push diapers, expect to be swathed in shit\"\nYes, to a certain extent, it is valid. There are some fans, who did get offended, and have raised concerns over it too. Have a look at a recent article in the Times of India that gives a flavor of the sentiments of the fans.\nBut, this is not the first time that Beatles have inspired the ad makers. Beatles\u2019s numbers have been used for Advertisements before, but not in such a direct controversial manner. More so, there are emotions attached to the Vietnam war, and the current Iraq war is akin to the conditions in Vietnam.\nSince this song was inspired by Vietnam, some believe it is pertinent to the Iraq war as well. And with such emotions attached, if one tries to leverage it for diaper brands, they are bound to face some resistance!\nAnd what are the marketers saying? Brandweek reported the comments from Saatchi & Saatchi\u2019s Account Manager, Mark Rolland - \u201cThe song helps us break through the diaper advertising clutter and simply communicate to moms that Luvs diapers are \u2018all you need\u2019 to keep your baby happy\u201d\nAccording to Promo Magazine, the song plays an important role in creating a stronger connection to the Luvs brand and awareness of its core benefit \u2013 leakage protection for less (Mark\u2019s comments).\nAccording to the article, the campaign is designed to offer a fresh approach to keep the brand relevant and top-of-mind with mothers.\nIndeed, the Ad not only has reached the moms, but has reached few others too. Has it overstretched its \u201cClutter-breaking\u201d attempt, or is it just another manner to get high recalls? Would this campaign follow the \u201cBenetton\u201d Advertising strategy of controversial advertising, or should we take this as an exception? I guess the coming month or two would be worth tracking the responses!\nThe campaign is not only restricted to National Television, but also features in DTC samples, a Net campaign, coupons and in-store displays and would move on to the next phase of their campaign in February. Wondering what \u201cAll we would need\u201d then? Or after the Beatles fans, would it be the Elton John fans, when they hear the next one from Saatchi and Saatchi with the moms asking their kids\u2026..\"Can you feel the Love tonight?\u201d er\u2026Luvs did you say? ;-)\nLabels: Advertising, Controversy, Procter and Gamble",

        "raw_content": "Becca Kufrin's reaction to Colton Underwood's virginity criticized by 'The Bachelorette' Rachel Lindsay\nBecca Kufrin's reaction to Colton Underwood revealing he's a virgin was a little over the top and unnecessary, at least according to last season's The Bachelorette star Rachel Lindsay.\nAfter a fun-filled day of sailing on a catamaran and diving for conch shells in the Bahamas as shown on Monday night's episode, Becca and the former professional football player talked over an intimate dinner during which Colton confessed he's never had sex before.\n\"As surprising as it was that he is/was a virgin, I did not think it called for the dramatics of walking away from the table coupled with some moments of contemplation by Becca,\" Rachel wrote in her Us Weekly blog, referencing how Becca had to excuse herself from the conversation and reflect on the new information.\n\"He's a virgin, you can deal with it or not. After deep, deep thought over the matter, Becca decided to deal with it and give Colton the rose.\"\nColton explained to Becca that he only had one serious relationship before going on the show and didn't have a lot of dates or girlfriends because he had been focused on his professional football career.\nAlthough Colton used to be ashamed of his virginity -- as he confessed to making up lies in the locker room to save face -- now he's proud of himself and can't wait to give a girl he loves that special gift.\n\"He wears his virginity like a badge of honor or a scarlet letter, depending upon how you look at it,\" Rachel said.\n\"With all that being said, kudos to Colton for not being the stereotypical athlete. That bit of information is refreshing.\"\nColton told Becca that he's not waiting for marriage; he's just waiting for the right woman to come into his life.\nHe also revealed \"only a handful of people\" knew about his virginity, so it was a huge step for him to be so candid with Becca on The Bachelorette.\n\"Can I just ask a question? Colton said only a handful of people know that he is a virgin. Is that handful that he is referring to in reference to the guys in the house? They all know about his virginity, yet he said that his dad doesn't know,\" Rachel pointed out.\n\"Colton decided to move from a handful to all of America as he proclaimed his virginity to Becca.\"\nColton's competition in the house thought Becca might be turned off by his lack of experience in dating and relationships, but Becca clearly liked him enough to give him a rose and visit his hometown and family.\n\"Becca stated that she needs some conch in her life but we know Colton is not the one to give it to her,\" Rachel quipped.\nWills Reid announced as 'Bachelor in Paradise' Season 5 cast member\n'Married at First Sight' expert Dr. Pepper Schwartz reveals red flags and must-haves in casting process",

        "title": "If There Has Ever Been a Time to Keep President Trump From Twitter, This Is it",
        "raw_content": "Of all the ways to communicate to the nation and the world, the 45th president of the United States seems to like using social media the best.\nSpecifically, Twitter.\nIt\u2019s impossible for both supporters and detractors to ignore the blasts of thought posted on President Donald Trump\u2019s Twitter page each day. They always bring an avalanche of reaction. Whether he\u2019s \u201cowning the Libs\u201d or praising a policy or person, the result is sharply polarizing. But that\u2019s what one would expect from this man.\nWhile I am often annoyed by his tweets (rarely amused) and routinely consider them to be wildly inappropriate, I don\u2019t often find them truly damaging to anything other than the already broken Republican Party. They\u2019re expected fodder from a man known for his insulting behavior and inflated ego.\nOn Friday, when Trump tweeted about Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and her allegations, he did some short-term and long-term harm. It is improper for the president to even discuss the matter at hand. Frankly, I was pleasantly surprised that he was keeping a lid on things of that nature. Perhaps one of his handlers saw to that.\nNow, that\u2019s all changed.\nIn terms of the process to replace a retiring SCOTUS justice, President Trump\u2019s job is to nominate and step out of the way until it\u2019s time to welcome the new jurist onto the high court. It is the Senate\u2019s job in committee and on the floor to take it from there. I am well aware that the president has his own opinions on even the topics he doesn\u2019t opine on. However, the best thing he can do is use wisdom, something sorely lacking in his person, and know when he just needs to remain on the sidelines of the discussion. This is something the 72-year-old never prefers.\nNow we get to the truly harmful part: the content.\nHe talks about facts mattering, proceeds with \u201cI have no doubt that\u201d, and then shares his opinion on something he is not privy to in this instance.\n(Readers, before you start claiming I\u2019m a leftist who doesn\u2019t care about the truth, read this.)\nAs I\u2019ve stated numerous times, I don\u2019t know for sure if the claims made by Ms. Ford are legitimate or not. In fact, neither do you! Given the information that we have and the lack of contemporaneous corroboration, I think it\u2019s fair to call her allegations very suspect. Personally, I believe it\u2019s an 11th-hour attempt to derail a man seen as an oppressor of women and bringer of doom (see: Roe v Wade). Perhaps an assault did occur and Ms. Ford is misremembering who/when/where? Kavanaugh is known by many as a man of integrity. Furthermore, he has a non-history of similar conduct.\nDonald Trump\u2019s claim of \u201cif the attack\u2026was as bad as she says that charges would have been filed\u201d is to not understand the nature of sexual assault, especially when it happens to a young individual. Alexandra DeSanctis of National Review sums up my frustration perfectly.\nAs so often is the case with our president, this shouldn\u2019t need to be said. But the fact that a woman doesn\u2019t immediately file charges or report an assault is not proof that the assault didn\u2019t happen. https://t.co/bNYNWyzljq\n\u2014 Alexandra DeSanctis (@xan_desanctis) September 21, 2018\n\u201cNo charges filed\u201d is not proof that nothing occurred; it\u2019s proof that no charges were filed. When a sexual crime is committed and law enforcement isn\u2019t notified, that is almost like a second crime. The predator should be dealt with in as strong a manner as possible. This requires police involvement.\nTo make these statements on Twitter, during one of the more contentious political seasons in recent memory, is extremely irresponsible. Not only does it make Democrats feel as if the accuser is being hounded by a bully president, it makes Republicans, like Senator Susan Collins whose vote is sorely needed, feel a bit less sympathetic to the cause.\n\u201cI was appalled by the president\u2019s tweet,\u201d Collins said. \u201cFirst of all, we know that allegations of sexual assault \u2013 I\u2019m not saying that\u2019s what happened in this case \u2013 but we know allegations of sexual assault are one of the most unreported crimes that exist. So I thought that the president\u2019s tweet was completely inappropriate and wrong.\u201d\nYou\u2019ll notice that Collins doesn\u2019t say whether she knows for sure whether the allegations are the truth (because none of us do!), but she certainly isn\u2019t supportive of the behavior. And when the GOP needs her, that\u2019s damaging.\nRegardless of how the Kavanaugh confirmation story ends (though I have my preference), the entire saga has been extremely detrimental to individuals and to the nation. Now, men may feel as if they\u2019re more likely to be accused of sexual crimes they did not commit. In addition, actual sexual assault victims will most likely feel as if they can\u2019t come forward when a crime occurs or cannot discuss it years later, after the physical scars have healed.\nBy tweeting his thoughts on such a serious matter, the president, with his wide reach, soiled character, and own sordid past, has managed to make things worse.\nTags: Christine Blasey Ford Judge Brett Kavanaugh President Donald Trump Sexual Assault Allegations Supreme Court Twitter\nTwitter Drops All Pretense of Non-Bias as CEO Tosses Out \u201cNeutral Stance\u201d Charade",

        "title": "Alopecia Hair Loss: Can PRP Therapy Really Help? \u2014 Regeneris Medical",
        "raw_content": "Alopecia Hair Loss: Can PRP Therapy Really Help?\nStudies are suggesting that PRP Therapy has the potential to treat alopecia hair loss.\nRecently, the practice of using platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy to heal a number of ailments has been becoming increasingly popular. Not only can PRP potentially heal joints, but it can also help prevent aging, improve sexual wellness, and stimulate hair regrowth. Although it may seem overly simplistic that the treatment for alopecia hair loss lies within one\u2019s own body, multiple studies suggest that it is entirely possible.\nFor example, in a randomized, double-blind, placebo- and active-controlled study from 2013, forty-five patients were randomized to receive either, PRP, triamcinolone acetonide (TrA), or a placebo to treat alopecia areata. Each patient was given three treatments over 1 month intervals. At the end of the study\u2026\u201dPRP was found to increase hair regrowth significantly and to decrease hair dystrophy and burning or itching sensation compared with TrA or placebo. Ki-67 levels, which served as markers for cell proliferation, were significantly higher with PRP. No side-effects were noted during treatment.\u201d [1]\nAnother study from 2013 investigated \u201cthe safety and clinical efficacy of alopecia areata-PRP injections for pattern hair loss.\u201d After harvesting and isolating the PRP from each patient\u2019s own blood, it was injected onto half of the patient\u2019s scalp- the other half of the patient\u2019s scalp received treatment from a placebo. This study also used the method of treating each patient three times over intervals of 1 month. The results found that \u201cthe patients presented clinical improvement in the mean number of hairs,\u201d and an \u201cincrease of epidermis thickness and of the number of hair follicles two weeks after the last AA-PRP treatment compared to baseline value.\u201d [2]\nLastly, a 2014 study set out to observe the \u201csafety, efficacy and feasibility of PRP injections in treating androgenic alopecia.\u201d This study included eleven patients who were diagnosed with androgenic alopecia and who also had no hair growth success after 6 months of using traditional treatments such as minoxidil or finasteride. Participants received PRP injections into the scalp every two weeks over an eight week period. After three months, the participants were then clinically examined and assessed. The results yielded that \u201ca significant reduction in hair loss was observed between first and fourth injection. Hair count increased from average number of 71 hair follicular units to 93 hair follicular units. Therefore, average mean gain is 22.09 follicular units per cm 2.\u201d Thus, the study concluded that the \u201cPRP injection is a simple, cost effective and feasible treatment option for androgenic alopecia, with high overall patient satisfaction.\u201d [3]\nAlthough it is a fairly new procedure, the results look promising for PRP Therapy to treat alopecia hair loss. It is clear that the healing growth factors within\u2014and the stimulating properties of\u2014PRP have the potential to produce favorable outcomes when it comes to treating alopecia hair loss.\n[1] http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/bjd.12397/full\n[2] https://www.hindawi.com/journals/bmri/2014/760709/abs/\n[3] http://www.jcasonline.com/article.asp?issn=0974-2077;year=2014;volume=7;issue=2;spage=107;epage=110;aulast=Khatu\nNewer Post6 Crucial Skin Protection Tips for the Summer\nOlder PostDo Cellular Injections for Knee Pain Leave You With Less Pain Than Total Knee Replacement Surgery?",

People know that low-flow toilets and showerheads will save them water each month, but they may have heard a few negatives regarding the function of these fixtures. At Rick\u2019s Plumbing, we know a good plumbing fixture when we see one, and we\u2019re ready to dispel he myths about low-flow showerheads and toilets.\nThe myths about low-flow toilets are numerous: You have to flush twice. Your toilet will clog frequently. Waste will streak the bowl and you\u2019ll have to clean it more often. While there was a time when low-flow plumbing technology was new that these problems did occur, advancements in the design of high-efficiency toilets \u0013have made these issues things of the past. Today\u2019s low-flow toilets are far better than first-generation low-flow toilets, and you\u2019ll be able to count on them to function well while also conserving water.\nThe most common myth here is that instead of enjoying warm, long showers with ample water to cleanse your hair and body, you\u2019ll have to suffer through your showers with a weak trickle of water. This is not the case! A low-flow showerhead will not alter your shower\u2019s water pressure. Yes, the amount of water that comes out of your showerhead per minute will be less, but you\u2019ll still get a strong spray and full water coverage. A low-flow showerhead will not be sub-par to the one you have now, but it will help you to conserve water day after day.\nDon\u2019t let the myths of low-flow plumbing fixtures keep you from conserving water and saving money on your water bills! At Rick\u2019s Plumbing, we can help you to choose and install green plumbing fixtures \u0013 that will perform just as well as your current fixtures!",

        "raw_content": "Countering bribery and corruption, money laundering and terrorist financing\nThe risks of bribery and corruption, money laundering and terrorist financing cut across our profession, regardless of geography or industry specialism.\nTo help the profession identify and manage these risks, we have published a professional statement on Countering Bribery and Corruption, Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing.\nThis professional statement sets out mandatory requirements for RICS members and RICS-regulated firms in relation to bribery, corruption, money laundering and terrorist financing. It is effective from 1st September 2019.\nMandatory requirements for anti-bribery and corruption and for anti-money laundering and terrorist financing.\nGuidance setting out supporting good practice regarding each of these areas.\nSupplementary guidance on some key concepts described in parts 1 and 2.\nThis professional statement applies globally and to all RICS members and RICS-regulated firms involved in work where the potential for such activity exists. If the statement contradicts local legislation then the legislation takes precedence.\nCountering money laundering, 1st edition (0,31MB) 12 f\u00e9vr. 2019\nResearch by the International Monetary Fund estimated that the amount of money laundered, globally, in one year could be between 2 to 5% of global GDP, equivalent to $800 billion to $2 trillion US dollars.\nThe professional statement aims to provide the profession with a clear description of how to manage these risks within the RICS Rules of Conduct.\nOur global responsibility to counter money laundering\nThe purchase of property has the potential to be used by organised criminals to launder the proceeds of criminal activity. This is due to the large number of criminal funds which can be \"cleaned\" in a single transaction. It is therefore critical that all professionals working in the sector are acutely aware of the issues and appropriately trained to identify and report any suspicions of money laundering.\nThe profession needs to work with governments, supervisors and law enforcement agencies to ensure our industry is viewed by criminals as a hostile destination for money laundering. As the profession\u2019s regulatory, RICS takes robust action against those who fail to act with integrity, as well as reporting such issues to law enforcement agencies.\nThis is not only in the interest of the public, but also in the interest of professionals, who want to ensure that the reputation of their profession is maintained. Therefore, it is important that RICS-accredited professionals and firms understand their obligations under Rule 3 of the RICS Code of Conduct and, where applicable, statutory obligations under local legislation, such as 'The Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017 (MLR 2017)' in the UK.\nIt is also important that the profession takes a leading role in ensuring that business interactions with the built environment are transparent and serve the public good. Unfortunately, real estate is an often-overlooked element of the global responsible business agenda. That is why we have been working with the United Nations Global Compact to identify the most critical issues facing companies with a stake in land, real estate and construction in relation to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).\nFind out more about our work on responsible business\nWith our profession impacting \u2013 either directly or indirectly \u2013 most of the SDGs and with its cross-sectoral reach, we can be a powerful driver for making the SDGs a reality, and contribute to a safe, sustainable and transparent built environment.\nOur requirements for professionals and firms\nAll our professionals and firms must be aware of the risks of money laundering and terrorist financing and take steps to ensure that they do not engage in business activities with criminals seeking to launder money or finance terrorism activities, to comply with the Rules of Conduct (see rule three ethical behaviour for individuals and rule three professional behaviour for firms).\nRecognising the need to ensure clarity and promote a better understanding of the risks of money laundering and terrorist financing, we are currently developing a globally applicable professional statement, which will outline expectations of our professional in this area in more detail.\nThere are a number of red flags that property professionals need to be aware of. These can be classed in five main categories:\nIt is important that professionals understand the factors that may indicate suspicious activity in each of these areas. These are described in a table that can be downloaded on the right-hand side. Our thanks to Alex Ktorides from Gordon Dadds for his assistance in producing this.\nWhen you have assessed the money laundering risks to your business, we recommend that you consider three lines of defence, which are: your front line staff; your policies, systems (eg e-verification of passports) and controls; and senior management and internal specialists and audit functions.\nHMRC webinar\nTo assist the estate agency sector, last year HMRC recorded a free one-hour webinar training video; we strongly recommend that anyone who needs an awareness of the money laundering regulations watch it. Although this has not been updated to reflect the MLR 2017, much of the content remains highly relevant.\nIn the UK, it is a statutory requirement for any business that carries out any activity defined as estate agency work under Section 1 of the Estate Agents Act 1979 to register with HMRC. Being an RICS-regulated firm does not exempt you from this requirement. HMRC offer guidance on who may fall within the requirement to register. HMRC\u2019s guidance also includes the application process and fee structure.\nThe UK Money Laundering Regulations apply to anybody who is in the \"Regulated sector\", which covers professionals considered to be at high-risk of being used by criminals to launder money. Estate agents are included in this sector although managing agents and letting agents are not.\nRICS-regulated firms are required to put systems in place to avoid money laundering and to report suspicious activity and are required to report suspicion of money laundering as soon as possible to the National Crime Agency (NCA) (previously the Serious Organised Crime Agency), regardless of whether they proceed with the transaction.\nFirms that are not within the regulated sector may also be required to submit a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) as well as take steps to protect against the risk of money laundering. You may commit an offence if you have knowledge or suspicion of money laundering activity or criminal property, assist anyone in dealing with it, and then fail to make a SAR. Submitting a SAR may provide a defence against committing a money laundering offence.\nThe NCA has produced helpful guidance on how to access their portal, submit a SAR and the information that should be included in your report. You can also us the NCA's helpline.\nNews & opinion lundi 6 ao\u00fbt 2018\nMoney laundering and the real estate sector\nIn the second of a series, Henry Brandts-Giesen and Jane Khoo of Kensington Swan, New Zealand, discuss how the real estate sector can be used for money laundering and terrorist financing.",

        "raw_content": "Joe Mattock and family\nI have an appointment to see Joe Mattock and I'm keen to write a piece that demonstrates the Rotherham United defender isn't the daft character who manager Paul Warne famously refuses to have in his quiz team.\nOnly Mattock has gone to the wrong place.\nStriker Michael Smith is sitting with a plate of chicken when I turn up at the club's Roundwood base on a Tuesday afternoon after training and the pair of us have a little quiz of our own.\nQuestion: \u201cSmudge, do you have any idea where Joe is?\u201d\nAnswer: \u201cYep, he's driving to the stadium to meet you.\u201d\nI make a phone call and a few minutes later Mattock, wearing a hoody and skinny-fit jeans, comes bowling back through the Roundwood doors full of apologies and bashful smiles.\nThe Leicester-born 28-year-old has been a Rotherham player for three-and-a-half years and has made more appearances, 143, for the Millers than for any of his previous clubs, Leicester City, West Bromwich Albion, who paid \u00a31.2 million for him, and Sheffield Wednesday.\nSoon, he's telling me how he arrived at AESSEAL New York Stadium from the Owls in June 2015.\n\u201cI didn't have a great start at Wednesday,\u201d he says. \u201cI didn't get on with the manager. Argh, I've forgotten what he's called. I've got his name on the tip of my tongue.\u201d\n\u201cDave Jones?\u201d I suggest. \u201cThat's him,\u201d he continues. \u201cThen Stuart Gray came in and played me all the time. I was told they thought they were going to offer me a new deal but I got injured six weeks before the end of my third year and it didn't happen.\n\u201cThe new chairman, (Dejphon) Chansiri, had just come in and everything was changing. They were spending big. Is it Chansiri? Have I said it right?\nScoring for the Millers\n\u201cWithin a couple of weeks, Rotherham phoned me up. I went over and had a really good meeting with Steve Evans who was the gaffer at the time. I didn't want to move from the area. The missus and kids were settled and I'd bought a house. I jumped ship, came over here and the rest is history.\n\u201cI was really impressed with Steve. I'd heard rumours and stuff about him but he really convinced me to sign. The stadium helped too. I thought: 'Wow, this is all right.'\n\u201cIt was a nice day as well ... little things ... it sort of made my mind up for me. I went and looked at the pitch and that was lovely. I just thought: 'You know what, this is the place for me.'\u201d\nWe joke together as he forgets Jones' name. No wonder Warne won't go near him when it's quiz time. Mattock is actually bright, engaging company and speaks well on any number of topics. He just happens to be more prone than most to endearing moments of dopeyness.\nEvans was gone soon after their encounter in the sun. The player helped secure Championship survival under Neil Warnock in his first season, suffered relegation after the farce of Alan Stubbs and Kenny Jackett the following year and won promotion last term in Warne's first full campaign in charge.\n\u201cWe went on that ten-game unbeaten streak under Neil,\u201d the former England schoolboy international says. \u201cThat was an experience. I learned a lot that year about myself.\n\u201cI realised I wasn't a young lad anymore and was coming into being a senior player and had to up my game in and around the training ground and on and off the pitch.\u201d\nQuestion: Was it really ten games unbeaten?\nAnswer: No, 11.\n\u201cThe second year was tough, getting relegated,\u201d he adds. \u201cWe knew by just past Christmas that we were down. Some of the lads who were here needed shipping out and that's what the gaffer (Warne) did. He's brought in some real good lads.\n\u201cEven in pre-season before we won promotion from League One I knew we were ready to do something good. I'd been in football long enough to tell we had a really decent chance.\n\u201cI was promoted from League One with Leicester when I was 19. The year after, I was promoted to the Premier League with West Brom.\n\u201cWhen you're young you don't realise how much it should mean to you. You do when you're older, so when we went to Wembley last season and won in the play-off final, in front of all the family, in front of all the fans, it was a perfect day, one of the big highlights of my entire career.\u201d\nOne of his big pals emerges from the dressing room and spots us chatting. \u201cI told you the interview would be here,\u201d Will Vaulks says. \u201cI know,\u201d Mattock replies, hanging his head and suddenly looking forlorn.\nHe's as smart as you like, though, when it comes to his passion away from football. He's a self-taught DJ who produces his own music and has already been signed to a record label.\nHis first EP, put together in the studio he's installed in his home near Oughtibridge, was released last October and a career in that field beckons when he hangs up his boots.\nHe and a friend run an event called Sonido. \u201cIt's Latin for 'sound',\u201d he tells me proudly.\n\u201cThe EP was a massive achievement for me. It was something I've been working on for years. I've done it all myself. I've not been to any classes. All I've done is look at a couple of YouTube tutorials when I've been stuck.\u201d\nBusy with his second career\nBack to the day job and Mattock believes Rotherham are competitive enough to stay in the second tier, a far cry to 2016/17 when some of his teammates had wages much larger than their hearts.\n\u201cYou get a few players who take the easy route, ones who think: 'I'm not having this. This is not me. The gaffer doesn't know what he's talking about.',\u201d he says.\n\u201cIf the coaches are not up to scratch in your opinion, it doesn't mean that you can't still go out there and give 100 per cent. Each coach is different. I've played under a lot of managers and coaches. They all have their own style.\n\u201cOne thing I have learned is that you have to focus on your own game. There is no excuse for not giving 100 per cent. You do what the coach says. If it doesn't work, at least you fail while trying to do what they want. A few players that season took the easy route.\n\u201cMe and the gaffer now, we're close. He's not just my coach and gaffer. We've been friends since I came here and he was fitness coach. He was always drilling into me not to settle for mediocrity, to make sure I was pushing myself all the time. He's got the best out of me because I do what he says. I respect him massively.\u201d\nWhat, even after his quiz jibe?\n\u201cThere's intelligence and then there's football intelligence,\u201d Mattock grins. \u201cHe's said to me before: 'You're not the best at quizzes but you get the game.' I'll take that.\n\u201cI have to agree that I'm not the best. I've done a few. I'm all right at them. Not as good as some of the other lads, to be fair!\u201d\nI quiz him myself: \u201cYou do know you called me 'Steve' when I rang you earlier, don't you?\u201d\n\u201cYeah, I did,\u201d he ruefully acknowledges. \u201cSorry about that. I'm terrible with names. My granddad is the same.\u201d\nMattock the footballer\nHis granddad comes to all the home game as does his father, Neil. Teenage sister Mia accompanies his dad while his other sister, Robyn, aged 26, is an occasional spectator. Mum Donna doesn't go because she thinks she's a jinx!\nHe tells me his granddad is called Terry and I suppose all we can do is take his word for it.\nMatchdays at AESSEAL New York Stadium are a family affair because long-time partner Alex and their kids, six-year-old Bella, and Joe Junior, three, are also regulars in the West Stand.\n\u201cJunior just copies everything I do,\u201d Mattock says. \u201cHe wants to play football, he wants to dance to music, he wants to put his earphones on.\n\u201cBella's quite brainy. I don't know where she's got that from, to be honest. She's as good as gold.\n\u201cI love being a dad. I've grown to love it more as I've got older. We had Bella when I was young. I was only 22. The past two or three years, it's been brilliant. We're a proper family.\n\u201cI'm getting pushed about marriage. It will happen! Maybe in a couple of years. I could DJ at my own wedding \u2014 get the wedding done quick and then get the music going!\u201d\nHis regard for Warne is obvious and I ask him which book he received when the manager was handing out self-help and psychology volumes to his squad as Christmas presents.\n\u201cI've got ... oh no, I've forgotten the name of it,\u201d he says. Head of player performance Ross Burbeary, listening in from a few feet away, helps him out: \u201cI think it's Painting by Numbers.\u201d\nMattock laughs louder than anyone. He's a good man, a genial character comfortable in who he is, and I warm to him even more.\nWhen he leaves, I google 'sonido' and am delighted to discover it does indeed mean 'sound'.\nQuestion: In Latin?\nAnswer: No, Spanish.\nBest friend in football: Will Vaulks. Me and Will have just got really close. There's a good group of us \u2013 me, Newelly (Joe Newell), Will, Fordey (Anthony Forde), Woody (Richard Wood), Tayls (Jon Taylor). I could name a few more because we've really built up good relationships here. Danny Ward is a good friend as well. I'm going to his wedding in the summer.\nBest player ever played with: Wardy would have to be up there. I'll go for midfielder Graham Dorrans. We were at West Brom together. He was unbelievable. I'm surprised he didn't go on to bigger and better things.\nBest player ever played against: When I played against Manchester City for Sheffield Wednesday, James Milner played. He was right up there. Then Frank Lampard (pictured) came on and he was unbelievable as well.\nFunniest teammate: I'll give Will that. He's one of a kind. To be honest, we come from different backgrounds. We didn't have much growing up and the area was a bit rough whereas Will comes from a nice area and had a more monied bringing-up. When he first came to the club I wasn't too keen on him, to be honest, but he's grown on me over time. He was lively and loud. That's just how he is, a bit busy. Usually when you go to a new club you work your way in but he was like that from the get-go. He came and sat at the back of the bus and was dead loud. I'm thinking: 'Who's this kid here?'\nBest-dressed teammate: It's a matter of opinion, innit. Semi (Ajayi) has got good gear. He wears good clothes but it ain't clothes that I'd wear. Newelly wears good clobber as well. Similar gear to me.\nWorst-dressed teammate: I'd have to say Woody. He dresses too much like a dad.\nWho takes longest in the shower? Tayls. He just stands in there talking.\nBest moment with Rotherham: Getting promoted at Wembley last May.\nWorst Rotherham moment: Getting relegated. The back end of that year was tough. It was a bit of a grind. We went out against some of the bigger teams knowing we were going to get beat.\nMost memorable Millers game: The Wembley final is the obvious one, but that game with Derby County at home when we came back from 3-0 down to draw 3-3 when Neil Warnock was manager sticks in my mind. The stadium was electric. The fans were going mad. We couldn't believe we'd come back against such a good team. The 1-0 win over Portsmouth last season when I scored in the last minute in front of the kop is another good one. I'll go for the Portsmouth match.\nWhat would do you if you weren't a footballer? I'd be a DJ. If it wasn't DJ-ing or football, I'd probably pick up some kind of trade. That's what my mates have done. I'd be an electrician or a plumber, I reckon.\nRoommate: Will. He's all right. I've had multiple roommates. It used to be Woody \u2014 I was with him on the pre-season tour \u2014 but I've been with Will throughout this season.\nFavourite other sport: I like golf. I'm a nine-handicapper and play at Hillsborough and sometimes at Rotherham. I play quite a lot in the summer, never in the winter. It's too demanding, especially with football. After 25 games or so your body kind of shuts down a bit and you have to look after it. Technically, me and Will are the best golfers, but Tayls won our 'Rotherham Players Championship'.\nJoe the DJ\nJOE Mattock will always put his football before his calling as a DJ but when he finally retires from the sport watch out for the name, Joe William.\nThat's how the Rotherham United defender is known in the music world where he is already making his mark.\n\u201cIt's a proper hobby of mine,\u201d he says. \u201cI don't do it as much as I could. Now I've started to get a bigger name as a DJ, they want you to play on a Friday night and stuff.\n\u201cI don't want to be out until all hours. At the end of the day, I'm a footballer. I DJ only at my own events when I can set them up at the right time. I don't want it to interfere with football one little bit.\u201d\nMattock, now aged 28, took his middle name to create his DJ identity and has been honing his talent for the last seven years\n\u201cI got into it when I was 21,\u201d he says. \u201cI didn't do any gigs until I was 24. My mate started his own event and would put me on first.\n\u201cI started my own event with a mate a couple of years ago doing Bank Holiday parties and that kind of thing. I do it back in my home town of Leicester.\n\u201cI know more locals there and can pull in a decent crowd. It's hard work. You have to pay for venue, pay for the main DJ, sort out tickets and do a lot of advertising.\u201d\n'Joe William' plays to gatherings of up to 400 people, but production is where his future lies.\nHe produces his own music from scratch in his studio at his home near Oughtibridge, rather than 'sampling' other people's work, and a record company snapped up and released his first EP last year.\n\u201cI sent my tracks off in May,\u201d he says. \u201cThey got straight back to me saying: 'We love them, we want to sign you up'. Then the EP got released in October. I was really made up. I do more producing than I do DJ-ing.\u201d\nHe describes the process like this: \u201cYou start on the groove which is basically your drums, your hi-hats, your claps, your toms. Then you move on to your bass lines, then your synthesisers. I've got midi keyboards and drum machines.\n\u201cI'll create a four-beat loop and put some effects on it, then change it a little bit through the track.\u201d\nAs for his type of sound, he says: \u201cMy music is pretty underground. It's underground house music. It's becoming a lot more popular.\u201d\nIf you're still in the dark, head to YouTube and check out a couple of DJ/production acts who Mattock particularly rates, Secondcity and Gorgon City.\n\u201cI definitely want to make a career of it after football,\u201d he says. \u201cAs long as my production work keeps progressing, there's no doubt it can end up full-time.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Investigating Pulse Distortion\nWith the RP Fiber Power software, one can investigate various kinds of pulse distortions, e.g. resulting from gain saturation, chromatic dispersion, the Kerr effect or stimulated Raman scattering.\nDefinition: distortion of the spatial, temporal or spectral characteristics of an optical pulse, resulting from optical nonlinearities\nGerman: nichtlineare Pulsverzerrung\nCategories: optical amplifiers, fiber optics and waveguides, nonlinear optics, light pulses\nOptical pulses, in particular ultrashort pulses with pulse durations of picoseconds or femtoseconds, can have very high peak powers and peak intensities even when the pulse energy is moderate, e.g. in the microjoule regime. As a consequence, such pulses can be strongly influenced by nonlinearities during propagation in transparent media, such as in laser crystals or particularly in optical fibers. Nonlinear effects can result in distortions of various kinds:\nFor propagation in homogeneous media (e.g. bulk crystals), the spatial properties can be affected. An example is self-focusing, which can in extreme cases lead into laser-induced breakdown. In less extreme cases, one still has the effect of an aberrative and time-dependent lens.\nStrong spectral distortions can result from, e.g., self-phase modulation: the optical spectrum can acquire strong modulations and broadening.\nThe temporal shape of a pulse can also be distorted: the pulse may be broadened, may become asymmetric, and or acquire temporal pedestals. In extreme cases, a pulse can break up into multiple pulses. An example is higher-order soliton fission in the process of supercontinuum generation. A related phenomenon is wave breaking. In many cases, the temporal distortion is not the direct impact of a nonlinearity, but rather the consequence of chromatic dispersion acting on a pulse with nonlinearly broadened optical spectrum. For example, self-phase modulation (in an approximation not containing the effect of self-steepening) or Raman scattering do not directly affect the temporal shape, but modify the optical spectrum so as to make a pulse significantly more susceptible to the effects of chromatic dispersion.\nIn amplifiers, the effect of gain saturation can also lead to substantial distortions of the temporal pulse shape: while the leading wing of the pulse experiences strong amplification, later parts are less strongly amplified as the gain is saturated already.\nFigure 1: Temporal shape of a femtosecond pulse, which has been distorted during propagation in an optical fiber.\nThe nature of nonlinear pulse distortions depends strongly on the circumstances, i.e., the type and strength of nonlinearity and on the occurrence of other effects such as chromatic dispersion or waveguiding. It can be investigated with pulse propagation modeling.\nThere are various methods to mitigate nonlinear pulse distortions, e.g. in amplifiers for ultrashort pulses. Examples are the use of thin (and highly doped) amplifier crystals, chirped-pulse amplification and divided-pulse amplification.\nSee also: nonlinearities, Kerr effect, pulse propagation modeling, chirped-pulse amplification\nand other articles in the categories optical amplifiers, fiber optics and waveguides, nonlinear optics, light pulses\nquarter-wave mirrors",

Saba Net, a Yemeni news agency controlled by the Houthis, says that 65 people have been killed and 55 more injured in the air strike in Mustaba.\nDozens feared killed as coalition forces strike market in Yemeni capital (VIDEO)\nGlobal charity Doctors Without Borders (MSF) said earlier on Tuesday that more than 40 people, all of them civilians including an eight-year-old in critical condition, were admitted to Abs Hospital after being wounded in the strike, Reuters reported.\nBoth the Saudi-led coalition and the Houthi forces have not yet commented on the issue.\nThe Saudi-led coalition has been fighting Shiite Houthi rebel fighters allied with Iran. The coalition provides air support for the Yemeni government forces involved in fierce clashes with the Houthis on the ground in several regions of the country.\nSince the start of the coalition\u2019s aerial campaign a year ago, some 6,000 people have been killed, many of them civilians. In January, a UN panel set up to investigate the bombings in Yemen reported to the Security Council that it had uncovered \"widespread and systematic attacks on civilian targets by Saudi Arabia.\"\nIn its attacks on Yemen, the coalition has also been using cluster bombs, which are banned from use in populated areas, Human Rights Watch (HRW) reported citing the results of its own investigation.\nOn February 27, the coalition hit another market in the Yemeni capital of Sanaa in an airstrike that claimed lives of 45 people, mostly civilians. About 50 more were wounded in the incident.\nIn the meantime, the Saudi-led coalition continues to deny targeting civilians. In January it said that it had introduced tougher procedures to investigate reports of strikes leading to civilian deaths as well as pledging to improve its targeting mechanisms.",

But he was outgunned in the stretch by Great Britain's Mo Farah and finished second, and he\ndidn't accomplish his season's goal of covering 5000 meters in 12:49. \"I do have mixed emotions,\" Lagat acknowledged. \"I'm happy that I was able to lower my personal best by a little bit, but I'm a little disappointed that I didn't get what I planned to do all season. I'm disappointed because I have always wanted to run super-fast, and these opportunities don't come around often in my event.\" Lagat believes that Farah, who won in Monaco in 12:53.11, \"laid out clearly that he is the favorite in the 5000m in Daegu (at the Worlde Championships). He has beaten everybody that could be in that final in Daegu .... He is the premier guy and he knows that, unless he does something - and I don't know what he could do - to mess up the incredible shape he has.\" Lagat is likely to do one more race, probably a mile in London, and then realizes \"for me to be able to beat Mo Farah I need to put my training up a notch,\" prior to the World Championships.

        "raw_content": "New Year = New Boat Project List\nWe survived another Holiday with friends and family and cookies and presents and food and SNOW on Christmas day sooooo what does that mean in our household? It means we start planning for the year and assessing the boat and prioritizing projects. Sounds exciting doesn't it? NOT! Actually it's one of those stresses in our marriage that we seem to muddle through.\nSo what's on the list this year? Well....I still would like new sails and most especially a roller furling head sail. That was on last years list but got bumped off by Molly's exorbitant back surgery bill. Top of Keith's list is to replace one of the fuel tanks, the one that is totally corroded and which we can't use at all right now. His plan is to replace with a molded plastic of some sort then move the fuel line off the tank we currently use (the less corroded of the two and one without a hole in it) so we'll have one good tank at least. That is a dirty, stinky project! A new addition to the list is to pull the mast and have it completely overhauled. That sounds fabulous but I'm not sure how we are going to tackle it. I'm thinking that this is a project we can have someone else do while it's still winter time around here. I did contact the marina today to get a quote and they already suggested it had many dollar signs attached to it. We'll see what the quote comes in at though.\nI know for sure I need to finish painting the bottom of the boat. Last year I only got the water line and down about 4-5 ft, I figured the paint was pretty good so this was just a precaution to go over the area where the sun hits the most. I was amazed to see how much growth was on the bottom where I didn't paint so I'll be going over that area with the sloughing stuff that seemed to work marvelous where it was applied. Another on my list is the refrigeration, the fiberglass in the bottom of the fridge has completely failed and needs to be rebuilt. That's not something I want to take on either so maybe I'll see if the yard can give me a quote. Keith is actually pretty handy at the glass-work but again it comes down to how much can one man do before it's time to drop Steadfast back in the water? Hence....the list and the debate commences.\nSo we'll continue to review our project list, it's a rather lengthy spreadsheet already, and determining what's In and what's gotta wait.\nCan you tell where I stopped painting???",

        "raw_content": "Local authorities evacuated a number of houses in Osceola County after someone made a bomb threat. The threat originated around 8 p.m. and was directed at a home on Binnacle Street in the Neptune Pointe subdivision near U.S. Highway 192. The police investigated the area with dogs, determined the bomb threat was a hoax, and let people return home around 1 a.m. the next morning. Lt. Ryan Berry of the Osceola County Sheriff\u2019s Office stated the force would be looking into who called in a fake bomb threat as this is a serious crime that can result in felony charges.\nIf you have been accused of a bomb hoax, do not try and handle this situation yourself. Due to the current climate in the U.S. and our country\u2019s experienced with terrorism, bomb threats are taken very seriously under the law. You will need an experienced Kissimmee defense attorney to defend you against these accusation.\nMaking a Fake Bomb Threat\nTwo Florida laws cover the crime of false bomb threats. Florida Statute 790.163 states it is unlawful for anyone to:\nMake a false report,\nWith the intent to deceive, mislead, or otherwise misinform any person,\nAbout the placing or planting of any bomb, deadly explosive or weapon of mass destruction, or\nConcerning the violent use of firearms against another person or persons.\nFlorida Statute 790.164 states it is illegal for any person to:\nAbout the placing or planting of any bomb, deadly explosive or weapon of mass destruction,\nConcerning any act of arson or violence to property owned by the state or a political subdivision, or\nAbout the use of firearms in a violent manner against an individual or people.\nA crime under either of these statutes is a second degree felony, punishable by prison for up to 15 years and up to a $10,000 fine.\nBomb Hoax Could Lead to Federal Charges\nThere are many circumstances in which a fake bomb threat is not charged under Florida law, but instead is charged as a federal crime. Section 35 of Title 18 states there are civil and criminal penalties for imparting or conveying false information about any attempts to damage, destroy, or disable aircrafts, vehicles, or their related facilities. Under federal law, it is a felony for anyone who:\nwillfully and maliciously, or\nwith reckless disregard for the safety of human life,\nimparts, conveys, or causes to be imparted or conveyed,\nfalse information,\nknowing the information to be false,\nconcerning an attempt or an alleged attempt being made or to be made,\nto do any act which would be a crime under this chapter.\nIf convicted of a federal charge for a bomb hoax, you can be sentenced to up to 5 years in prison.\nContact a Kissimmee / Orlando / Maitland-Altamonte Springs Criminal Defense Attorney for Help\nIf you have been accused of making a bomb threat, you must take your situation seriously and work with an experienced Kissimmee criminal defense lawyer. At Salazar & Kelly Law Group, P.A., we know what you are up against. You could face years in state or federal prison for misinterpreted words or a joke gone wrong.

        "raw_content": "Latest News 2017 November Divorcing During the Holidays\nIf you\u2019re going through a hard time with your spouse, you may have realized that divorce is the only solution. Given that it\u2019s November, you may be wondering, \u201cShould I divorce before or after the holidays?\u201d We bring this up because it\u2019s a question that goes through a lot of clients minds between November 1st and January 1st.\nShould people divorce after the holidays? There is no right or wrong answer to this question. Often, the answer comes down to whether the couple has children living at home and whether domestic violence is an issue. Other factors, such as holiday traditions, nonrefundable plane tickets, and vacation plans can affect the timing of a divorce during the holiday season.\nHaving One Last Holiday as a Family\nWhen a couple has younger children at home, they may want to hold off the filing of their divorce until after January 1st so they can have one last Thanksgiving, Christmas or Hanukkah together as a family. Usually, there is no harm in delaying the divorce filing a couple of months if the spouses are managing to get along, and the home environment is not particularly volatile.\nOn the other hand, if the couple is constantly arguing in front of the children; for example, because infidelity was recently discovered, or if the parents can\u2019t stand to be in the same room together, or if one of the spouses is verbally or physically abusive and controlling toward their spouse or children, it does not make sense to prolong the pain for the sake of the holidays.\nIn the case of spousal abuse or child abuse, we urge domestic violence victims to contact a divorce attorney right away to seek help leaving safely and protecting their parental rights during the divorce process. If a child is being abused or if they are witnessing spousal abuse, measures should be taken promptly to end the dangerous situation and ensure the child is in a safe, loving home with the innocent parent, not the abuser.\nFor childless couples, there\u2019s usually no reason to delay the filing of the divorce until after the holidays, unless they have reasons for waiting until after the New Year.\nTo file for divorce in San Diego, contact Claery & Hammond, LLP today!\nCategories: Child Custody, Divorce, Domestic Violence, Divorce Advice, Co-Parenting",

        "raw_content": "Every parent wants the best for their children in terms of guidance, care, emotional support as well as lifestyle. This is true whether the parents are married or not. It is impossible to put a price tag on ensuring that our children will be safe, happy, and cared for after a divorce.\nWhen parents are feeling loss and guilt because they are no longer together for the children, it is often difficult to sort out what is truly in the best interest of the children versus how the parties want to move forward separately. When parents are trying to balance the emotional and financial concerns they have about their post-divorce parenting, it helps to have an experienced support team to sort things out.\nCommon Concerns for Divorcing Parents\nSome common concerns prior to divorce expressed by divorcing parents:\nWill I be able to spend enough time with my kids?\nWill my children suffer as a result of the divorce?\nWhat about holidays, birthdays, and vacations?\nWill my spouse and I be able to agree on parenting going forward?\nWhat happens down the road, when things change?\nThe manner and frequency of one parent's time with their children will change over time, based on a range of real-life things like school schedules, the child's extra-curricular interests, and changes with each parent's job, just to name a few. Even if things are settled and stay the same for awhile, changes are inevitable. The more difficult those changes are for the parents to understand and accept, the more difficult things are on the children.\nDivorce is Not Just about the Legalities\nThe one thing many parents have to confront from the beginning is coming to terms with what is best for the children versus what is fair. Specifically, what is fair for the adults isn't always best for the children. Another concern is whether the children will be negatively affected by the divorce. For example, it isn't unusual for one parent to retain ownership of the family home in an attempt to minimize the impact of the divorce on the children. These concerns, among others, can compel a parent to seek a resolution that is neither wise or useful.\nWe encourage our parents to use the services of experienced professionals and specialists like divorce coaches and child specialists, when necessary. While we can offer crucial experience and advice regarding what is appropriate and legal in the way of parenting plans, what works for one family doesn't always work for another. Every parenting situation is unique. An experienced divorce coach is more effective and far less expensive when it comes to helping parents adjust to the changes. An experienced child specialist can help a parent identify how best to care for the children post divorce and be an engaged parent of a happy, well-adjusted child.\nThe combination of experienced attorney and experienced specialists means that parents can individually understand what they can expect after the divorce while working through their emotions and coming to terms with what really is best for the children versus their own needs.\nHow We Help Parents Through Divorce\nAs if deciding an appropriate parenting plan isn't enough, establishing an appropriate support agreement adds to the complexity. Some parents confuse parenting time with the level of child support, but those are entirely separate agreements. Our clients usually find that our clear explanation of the support calculation guidelines is very helpful for understanding the child support versus parenting plans. With that understanding established, parents are better able to efficiently address critical issues.\nThere are two kinds of child custody: legal and physical. Legal custody requires that the parent make decisions regarding the child\u2019s healthcare, education, welfare, etc. Physical custody is deciding which parent the child will reside with.\nVisitation is the plan for how the parents will share time with the child or children and are varied depending on the best interest of the children.\nIt is always better if the parents can agree to what the custody and visitation should be. But in the event the parties are unable to agree, the judge assigned to your case will decide each parent\u2019s role in making major decision affecting your child(ren) and each parent\u2019s respective rights to parental access with the child(ren). The judge\u2019s decision is based entirely upon what he or she believes is in the best interest of the child(ren).\nLegal issues involving your child can be an emotionally draining time in your life and sometimes can be very complicated, requiring assistance of an experienced attorney. You do not have to do this alone, we are here to help you every step of the way!",

SantaClaraBroncos.com will introduce one incoming player a day for the next eight days. Next up is Jenna Roering of Lino Lakes, Minn.\n\"I immediately fell in love with Santa Clara for many reasons,\" said Roering. \"The academic program was in line with what I was looking for in college. On my first campus visit, I enjoyed the atmosphere as well as the beautiful buildings and all the open area. I play soccer and cannot wait to play with the Broncos. The girls on the team are awesome, and the coaching staff was so accommodating and encouraging. I had the opportunity to talk with the coaches almost weekly, and they continue to be interested in my progress, not only athletically but also academically. I have lived in Minnesota all my life and the beautiful, warm weather in California will be a welcome change from the cold winters. I am looking forward to college and playing soccer on one of the best teams in the nation.\"\n\"Jenna Roering is a tremendous goal scorer,\" said Santa Clara head coach Jerry Smith, entering his 27th season leading the Broncos. \"She will add a number of dimensions. She's fast, she's clever, but it's really her goal scoring ability that separates her. She scored over 100 goals in high school, which is quite a big number. We're really looking forward to Jenna coming in here and scoring some goals for us.\"\nRoering attended Centennial High School in Circle Pines, Minn., and was coached by Ginger Flohaug, Rob Magone and Lori Guyer. The team was two-time conference champions, three-time sectional champions, appeared in two state tournaments and finished in third place in the state championships in 2011.\nRoering was a five-year letter winner, team captain for two years and was named MVP twice. Additionally, she is was All-Conference all four years, All-State three years, 2012 Star Tribute Player of the Year, 2011 and 2012 Gatorade Player of the Year and 2011 ESPN All-American First-Team.\nOn the field, Roering had 34 goals and 16 assists during her senior year, 34 goals and 12 assists her junior year and 20 goals and 9 assists during her sophomore year. She is just the second player in Minnesota history in AA schools to score over 100 goals.\nRoering also participated in the U-18 National Team Training Camp in 2011. She was named ECNL Four Year player, ECNL All-Tournament player and ID2 Champions in 2011.\nOff the field, Roering enjoys socializing, coaching soccer, spending time with friends and family and loves animals. Her parents are Jess and Becky Roering and she has one sibling, Jesse (15). Her relative, Rob McMenomy, played football for the US Air Force. She hopes to become a published author and a sports instructor in the future.\nNoel Baham\nWhitney Cohen\nMariana Galvan\nJordan Jesolva",

        "raw_content": "What is wrong with my power density calculation?\nDiscover why the traditional approach to specifying power density is limited.\nThe historic method of specifying data center power density using a single number of watts per square foot (or watts per square meter) is an unfortunate practice that has caused needless confusion as well as waste of energy and money. There are four major problems with the historic practice of describing power density in terms of watts per square foot or watts per square meter.\nFirst, what is included in the area calculation or how it relates to the number of IT racks/devices is not defined. Secondly, what is included in the power calculation is not defined. There\u2019s no information about the variation in power. And, lastly, it is not clear how this number is used in a facility with a changing growth plan or that is built out over time.\nVague specs like this lead to problems. Specify too low a density and performance becomes unpredictable with various overload and overheating problems occurring; specify too high a power density and first cost and operating expenses are needlessly increased.\nMore accurately specify power density\nA different approach is needed. In the White Paper, \u201cCalculating Space and Power Density Requirements for Data Centers,\u201d a proven method with four main features can help ensure a more accurate power density measurement. This method comprehends that:\n1. The IT cabinet is the unit of physical space in the density specification, instead of the floor area.\n2. Hierarchical and modular specification enables different rooms and zones to have varied density requirements.\n3. IT cabinets in data centers have different power requirements which may not be well-defined in advance.\n4. IT equipment cabinets may have power requirements that change over time.\nTo understand how this new density specification works, download \u201cCalculating Space and Power Density Requirements for Data Centers.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Artificial intelligence system developed in Beijing \u2018will never replace doctors\u2019 but it can trace brain activity invisible to the human eye\nChina science Science China Society Artificial intelligence Medicine Health in China Health and wellness\nAt least seven patients in Beijing who doctors said had \u201cno hope\u201d of regaining consciousness were re-evaluated by an artificial intelligence system that predicted they would awaken within a year.\nOne 19-year-old patient spent six months with unresponsive wakefulness syndrome \u2013 formerly known as being in a vegetative state \u2014 after an accident caused a severe injury to his left temple.\nSome of China\u2019s best neurologists conducted four rounds of assessments on his potential for recovery and gave him seven out of 23 points on a coma recovery scale, a score which meant his family had a legal right to unplug his life support.\nOur machine can \u2018see\u2019 things invisible to human eyes\nDr Song Ming of the Institute of Automation\nAfter going through his brain scans, however, the computer gave him more than 20 points, close to the full score.\nIn another case, doctors gave a 41-year-old female stroke victim who had been in a vegetative state for three months a recovery potential score of six. The computer\u2019s: 20.23.\nThe young man, middle-aged woman and five other patients whom doctors believed would never recover woke up within 12 months of the brain scan, precisely as predicted.\nBut the machine also made some mistakes. A 36-year-old man who suffered bilateral brainstem damage after a stroke was given low scores by both doctors and AI. He recovered fully in less than a year.\nEthics and the pursuit of artificial intelligence\nThe AI system, developed after eight years of research by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and PLA General Hospital in Beijing, has achieved nearly 90 per cent accuracy on prognostic assessments, according to the researchers.\nSome of their results were released in a research paper published last month in the peer-reviewed journal eLife.\n\u201cAt present, there are more than 500,000 patients with chronic disturbance of consciousness caused by brain trauma, stroke, and hypoxic encephalopathy with an annual increase of 70,000 to 100,000 patients in China, which brings great mental pain and a heavy economic burden to families and society,\u201d they said.\n\u201cThe possible prediction of the recovery of patient consciousness will directly affect the choice of clinical treatment strategies, and even the choice of life or death by the patient\u2019s relatives,\u201d the team added.\nIt will never replace doctors. It is just a tool to help doctors and families make better decisions\nDr Song Ming\nDr Song Ming, associate researcher with the Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences and first author of the study, said their system was different from other AI methods used in the diagnosis of diseases such as cancer.\n\u201cOur machine can \u2018see\u2019 things invisible to human eyes,\u201d he said on Tuesday.\nPatients are assessed using a brain scan with functional magnetic resonance imaging, a technology that charts brain activity by measuring tiny changes in blood flow.\nThe neural activities are too numerous and sophisticated to be directly visible to doctors but the AI system, equipped with machine-learning algorithms, is able to scrutinise these changing details and discover previously unknown patterns from past cases.\nFor instance, the machine can look into regions in charge of different functions \u2013 including motion control, verbal capability, hearing and vision \u2013 to see how they interact with one another after suffering physical damage.\nSome patients might have an active mind, but their communication with the outside world is temporarily blocked. Their state is more likely to be misjudged by conventional evaluation methods, which are usually based on operationally defined behavioural responses to specific sensory stimulation.\nArtificial intelligence\u2019s greatest contribution may be in health care, and China is leading the way\nYang Yi, a doctor in the neurosurgery department at PLA General Hospital who was involved in the research, said the AI system had been improved since the project\u2019s launch in 2010. It is now part of the hospital\u2019s daily operation and has helped diagnose more than 300 people, she said.\nThese patients came from all over China, some from places as remote as Xinjiang in the northwest, and many of their relatives had been told their loved one had little hope for recovery.\n\u201cThey were desperate,\u201d Yang said. \u201cWhen the AI gave an unexpectedly high score, they were thrilled.\u201d\nBut such cases were still rare, with the AI assessment usually matching that of the doctors.\nEven when faced with low AI scores, most families still chose to continue treatment, Yang said.\n[The families] were desperate. When the AI gave an unexpectedly high score, they were thrilled\nDr Yang Yi, neurosurgeon\n\u201cWhen we informed the family of the AI score, we always told them it should only weigh 20 to 50 per cent in their decision,\u201d she said. \u201cThey need to consider other things, such as ongoing care needs, medical costs, their insurance policy \u2026 and the risk of sudden death.\n\u201cSometimes a small disease such as pneumonia can kill a patient,\u201d she said. \u201cThe AI cannot predict such events.\u201d\nNot all coma patients stay in hospital, Yang said. Many remain at home, in varying conditions. Some families cannot afford the best medicine or medical equipment, while others devote more time to talking and massaging the patient. These factors also affect the likelihood of recovery.\nThe researchers also found the system worked better on patients in Beijing because it was developed using data mainly collected in the capital. In future, the project\u2019s accuracy is expected to improve further as it includes more data from other parts of China.\nYang Tongwei, associate professor of medical ethics at Shandong University in Jinan, said AI would aid decision-making for people facing ethical dilemmas.\nBy tradition, Chinese families have tended to prolong a loved one\u2019s life for as long as they can afford to do so.\nBut in recent years, more people are realising this can bring torture and pain to their loved one, who might not want to be trapped in a \u201cliving coffin\u201d, Yang said.\n\u201cRational termination of life support for vegetative-state patients can save medical spending and use the resources on people with greater hope for a cure,\u201d he said.\nBut, he added, \u201cso far, there is no sign that the government has plans to take the decision-making power away from the family\u201d.",

The law also requires a 10-year review by agencies to shape recommendations concerning 5 million acres of National Forest \u2018primitive areas,\u2019 as well as all roadless areas within National Parks, Monuments, and other park categories, and within National Wildlife Refuges.\n1964 \u2013 1974: Based on the reviews required by the 1964 Act, Presidents send their wilderness recommendations to Congress. Congress begins designating additional wilderness areas in 1968, often enlarging and augmenting agency recommendations.\n1972: President Richard Nixon signs legislation designating the Scapegoat Wilderness in Montana, the first wilderness area protecting public lands that were not required to be reviewed by the Act, but approved on the strength of a grassroots citizen campaign.\n1973: Secretary of Agriculture proposes some new wilderness areas involving National Forest roadless lands not required to be studied under the 1964 Wilderness Act, but these Roadless Area Review and Evaluation [RARE-I] recommendations are flawed by inadequate inventory of \u201croadless areas.\u201d\n1975: Congress enacts, and President Gerald Ford signs, the Eastern Wilderness Areas Act, protecting 207,000 acres of wilderness on National Forests in the East, South and Midwest. Congress rejects the view that once-logged or inhabited lands can never qualify for wilderness Act protection.\n1976: President Ford signs the Federal Land Policy and Management Act, extending the wilderness protection program under the Wilderness Act to hundreds of millions of acres of Western and Alaskan lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management.\n1978: With the Endangered American Wilderness Act, signed by President Jimmy Carter, 1.3 million acres of National Forest lands across the West are designated as wilderness, all on the basis of proposals initiated by local citizen groups. Congressional review of these proposals reveals serious inadequacy in way wilderness potential of National Forest \u201croadless areas\u201d are considered in agency plans.\n1979: On the basis of an improved inventory of \u201croadless areas\u201d on National Forests [RARE-II], new wilderness areas are recommended, but process is flawed and leads to Court decision requiring more specific analysis of each \u201croadless area.\u201d\n1980: President Carter signs the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act, history\u2019s most ambitious land and wildlife conservation law. Fifty million acres of new wilderness areas protect vast tundra and deep old-growth forests on public lands across Alaska. (President Carter signs laws designating more wilderness acreage than any other President.)\n1984: President Ronald Reagan (who signed more wilderness protection laws than any other President) signs wilderness laws for 22 states in a single year, protecting some 8 million acres, as Congress reviews and significantly improves National Forest wilderness recommendations based on the 1979 RARE-II process between 1980 and 1991.\n1994: California Desert Protection Act, signed by President Bill Clinton, designates 3.7 million acres of wilderness administered by the Bureau of Land Management in the desert east of Los Angeles, and 4 million acres in Death Valley and other national park units.\n2001: After the most extensive public comment process for any Federal rule-making decision in American history, President Clinton\u2019s Roadless Area Conservation Rule is adopted, protecting some 60 million acres of \u201croadless areas\u201d on National Forests, much of which local citizen groups hope to see Congress preserve as wilderness.\n\u2022 President George W. Bush\u2019s administration presses Congress to open fragile wild lands in the West and Alaska to oil and gas drilling.\n\u2022 Bush administration order cuts off review of tens of millions of acres of wild public lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management to thwart further statutory wilderness protections for any BLM lands.\n\u2022 Bush administration attempts to gut the protections of the Roadless Area Conservation Rule, starting with the Tongass National Forest, in Alaska.\n\u2022 Grassroots citizen groups mobilize to counter these concerted special interest assaults on high-quality, unprotected wilderness.\n2002: With bipartisan support Congress passes and President Bush signs, four wilderness laws, designating half a million acres of wilderness in Nevada, California, Colorado, and South Dakota.\n2004: With bipartisan support from Nevada\u2019s entire Congressional delegation, Congress passes and President Bush signs into law the largest wilderness designation in the state\u2019s history\u2014protecting 14 new wilderness areas, totaling more than 768,000 acres in Lincoln County. Congress also extends wilderness protection to 35,000 acres on islands in Lake Superior within the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore in Wisconsin.\n2005: Congress passes and President George W. Bush signs into law wilderness protection for 11,000 acres of desert canyon lands in northwestern New Mexico and 10,000 acres of tropical rain forest in Puerto Rico\u2014the only tropical rainforest in America\u2019s National Forest system.\nWith bipartisan support from Congress, President Bush signs \u2013\n\u2022 Northern California Wild Heritage Wilderness Act, protecting 273,000 acres and 21 miles of rivers along the northern coast of California, including the King Range Wilderness\u2014the longest stretch of undeveloped coastline in the lower 48 states.\n\u2022 New England Wilderness Act, protecting some 76,000 acres of wilderness in Vermont and New Hampshire.\n\u2022 Bills protecting more than a half-million acres of new wilderness areas in eastern Nevada and 100,000 acres in Utah.\n2008: President Bush signs law designating the Wild Sky Wilderness, which protects 106,577 acres of national forest roadless lands in Washington.\n\u2022 The Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009 passes Congress and is signed into law by President Barack Obama. The bill protects 2.1 million acres of new wilderness areas in California, Colorado, Idaho, Michigan, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Virginia, and West Virginia.\n\u2022 By summer, bills to designate new wilderness areas have already been introduced in Congress to protect additional public land in Washington, New Mexico, Idaho, Montana, Colorado, Utah, Alaska, and Oregon.\n\u2022 Citizen groups from all parts of the country work to fine-tune proposals for additional wilderness designations, working with their Congressional delegations to seek bipartisan support for these proposals.\n\u2022 President Obama shows strong support for public land protection, visiting Yellowstone and Grand Canyon National Parks with his family.\n\u2022 Obama administration strongly endorses the 2001 Clinton Roadless Area Conservation Rule; the Justice Department joins environmental groups to defend the Rule in court cases.",

        "raw_content": "Home > 3D Printing > Glossary > Open Source\nOpen Source refers to a collaborative nature of development. Open source software for example has free, public code which can be downloaded, modified and redistributed by a multiple developers. With regards to 3D printing, there is a wide variety of open source software for 3D that you can use to make and modify 3D models.\nA RepRap 3D Printer\nOpen Source History\nOpen source software as we know it began with the launch of the free software movement in 1983. With the publication of the GNU manifesto and the launch of the GNU project, the goal was to develop a computer operating system that was free from constraints on its source code. Soon to follow was Linux in 1991. The label \"open source\" came sometime later after Netscape released the source code for Navigator internet browser in 1998. The vast majority of programming languages have been open source since the 1990's, including Python and Ruby. The trend continues to today, with notable open-source Andriod smartphone operating system and the hugely popular software version control system called Git.\nThe most notable open source project in 3D printing history is the RepRap project. RepRap is the first general-purpose self-replicating manufacturing machine. As an open source project, anyone in the RepRap community can edit and contribute to the development of the project, while all designs and software are free to use. The RepRap website provides an extensive list of open-source and free to use software for CAD modelling and STL handling. The major advantage of open-source technology is that it's free to use and typically has a strong community base around it.\n3D Printing Controversy\nMakerBot, one of the most popular desktop 3D printers on the market, was born out of the RepRap project and a Vienna hackerspace called Metalab. The initial product, the Cupcake CNC, was an open source product and many of the improvement suggestions came from the RepRap community. As MakerBot matured and released newer models, the open-source roots of the company dissipated with the development of proprietary technology, angering many of the RepRap community members.\nCheck out Blender or OpenSCAD for open-source CAD software, and MeshLab or Cura for open source STL software. You can also checkout your nearest hackerspace or FabLab to learn more and become part of the maker community.

        "raw_content": "Common Sexual Health Symptoms & Problems\nWe Take A Holistic Approach To Your Sexual Health & Wellness\nSexual health and wellness issues can affect people in different ways. The severity of symptoms can vary significantly on a case-by-case basis, and there may be a number of underlying issues that can contribute to these troubling problems and issues.\nNo matter what you are dealing with, it is important to get answers to your questions and evaluate the various treatment options that may be available to you. Different treatment options work for different patients, and we take a holistic approach to evaluating your health.\nSymptoms & Issues We Treat\n\u200bPainful Intercourse In Women (Dyspareunia)\nUncomfortable and sometimes painful intercourse in women is typically caused by a thinning of the vaginal lining when there is a lack of estrogen, often due to menopause or treatment of breast cancer with drugs that can sometimes inhibit the effects of estrogen. It can also happen as an inadequate response to hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Other causes of painful intercourse for women include anatomical barriers such as stenosis (narrowing) of a portion of the vagina and inflammatory diseases, including lichen sclerosus.\nOur current array of therapies are able to effectively address all the conditions associated with dyspareunia. We will work with you to determine the best approach to reducing or eliminating pain during intercourse.\nFor men, less than optimal firmness of erections or inability to sustain erections are frequently due to vascular insufficiency. In many cases, erectile dysfunction issues can also be due to performance anxiety.\nWe take a holistic approach to all medical conditions and explore a variety of options based on the unique nature of each individual patient. Treatments in our clinic for erectile dysfunction include shockwave therapy, plasma rich platelets, and stem cell transplants. Contact our office to learn more about which approach may be best for you.\nPeyrone\u2019s Disease\nLikened to a scar on the shaft of a penis, a plaque on the tunica albuginia causes a bend upon erection. We can help you determine the best course of treatment, which depends on the severity of the condition as well as persistence of symptoms.\nNow that a new drug for the treatment of Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD) has been introduced, HSDD has become a more common \u201cdiagnosis\u201d in both men and women. Hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD), also known as inhibited sexual desire (ISD), is considered a sexual dysfunction and is characterized as a lack or absence of sexual fantasies and desire for sexual activity, as judged by a clinician. A person with ISD will typically not initiate or respond to their partner\u2019s desire for sexual activity.\nFor HSDD to be truly recognized as a disorder, it must cause marked distress or interpersonal difficulties and not be better accounted for by another mental disorder, a drug (legal or illegal), some other medical condition, or asexuality. Contact us to learn more about HSDD and our innovative and effective treatment options.\nContact Us To Schedule Your Initial Consultation\n\u200bThe experienced staff at Seattle Sexual Health Centers is prepared to address and provide treatment for a number of sexual health-related conditions and issues.\nContact our office in Seattle today at (206) 522-5646 to learn more about our expertise with sexual health and wellness, or use the confidential contact form on our website to request an initial consultation.",

You can generally identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as \u201canticipate,\u201d \u201cbelieve,\u201d \u201ccontinue,\u201d \u201ccould,\u201d \u201cestimate,\u201d \u201cexpect,\u201d \u201cexplore,\u201d \u201cevaluate,\u201d \u201cintend,\u201d \u201cmay,\u201d \u201cmight,\u201d \u201cplan,\u201d \u201cpotential,\u201d \u201cpredict,\u201d \u201cproject,\u201d \u201cseek,\u201d \u201cshould,\u201d or \u201cwill,\u201d or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond Bristol-Myers Squibb\u2019s and Celgene\u2019s control.\nStatements in this communication regarding Bristol-Myers Squibb, Celgene and the combined company that are forward-looking, including projections as to the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction, the impact of the proposed transaction on Bristol-Myers Squibb\u2019s and Celgene\u2019s business and future financial and operating results, the amount and timing of synergies from the proposed transaction, the terms and scope of the expected financing for the proposed transaction, the aggregate amount of indebtedness of the combined company following the closing of the proposed transaction, expectations regarding cash flow generation, accretion to non-GAAP earnings per share, capital structure, debt repayment, adjusted leverage ratio and credit ratings following the closing of the proposed transaction, Bristol-Myers Squibb\u2019s ability and intent to conduct a share repurchase program and declare future dividend payments, the combined company\u2019s pipeline, intellectual property protection and R&D spend, the timing and probability of a payment pursuant to the contingent value right consideration, and the closing date for the proposed transaction, are based on management\u2019s estimates, assumptions and projections, and are subject to significant uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond Bristol-Myers Squibb\u2019s and Celgene\u2019s control. These factors include, among other things, effects of the continuing implementation of governmental laws and regulations related to Medicare, Medicaid, Medicaid managed care organizations and entities under the Public Health Service 340B program, pharmaceutical rebates and reimbursement, market factors, competitive product development and approvals, pricing controls and pressures (including changes in rules and practices of managed care groups and institutional and governmental purchasers), economic conditions such as interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations, judicial decisions, claims and concerns that may arise regarding the safety and efficacy of in-line products and product candidates, changes to wholesaler inventory levels, variability in data provided by third parties, changes in, and interpretation of, governmental regulations and legislation affecting domestic or foreign operations, including tax obligations, changes to business or tax planning strategies, difficulties and delays in product development, manufacturing or sales including any potential future recalls, patent positions and the ultimate outcome of any litigation matter. These factors also include the combined company\u2019s ability to execute successfully its strategic plans, including its business development strategy, the expiration of patents or data protection on certain products, including assumptions about the combined company\u2019s ability to retain patent exclusivity of certain products, the impact and result of governmental investigations, the combined company\u2019s ability to obtain necessary regulatory approvals or obtaining these without delay, the risk that the combined company\u2019s products prove to be commercially successful or that contractual milestones will be achieved. Similarly, there are uncertainties relating to a number of other important factors, including: results of clinical trials and preclinical studies, including subsequent analysis of existing data and new data received from ongoing and future studies; the content and timing of decisions made by the U.S. FDA and other regulatory authorities, investigational review boards at clinical trial sites and publication review bodies; the ability to enroll patients in planned clinical trials; unplanned cash requirements and expenditures; competitive factors; the ability to obtain, maintain and enforce patent and other intellectual property protection for any product candidates; the ability to maintain key collaborations; and general economic and market conditions. Additional information concerning these risks, uncertainties and assumptions can be found in Bristol-Myers Squibb\u2019s and Celgene\u2019s respective filings with the SEC, including the risk factors discussed in Bristol-Myers Squibb\u2019s and Celgene\u2019s most recent Annual Reports on Form 10-K, as updated by their Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and future filings with the SEC.\nIt should also be noted that projected financial information for the combined businesses of Bristol-Myers Squibb and Celgene is based on management\u2019s estimates, assumptions and projections and has not been prepared in conformance with the applicable accounting requirements of Regulation S-X relating to pro forma financial information, and the required pro forma adjustments have not been applied and are not reflected therein. None of this information should be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the historical financial statements of Bristol-Myers Squibb or Celgene. Important risk factors could cause actual future results and other future events to differ materially from those currently estimated by management, including, but not limited to, the risks that: a condition to the closing of the proposed acquisition may not be satisfied; a regulatory approval that may be required for the proposed acquisition is delayed, is not obtained or is obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated; Bristol-Myers Squibb is unable to achieve the synergies and value creation contemplated by the proposed acquisition; Bristol-Myers Squibb is unable to promptly and effectively integrate Celgene\u2019s businesses; management\u2019s time and attention is diverted on transaction related issues; disruption from the transaction makes it more difficult to maintain business, contractual and operational relationships; the credit ratings of the combined company declines following the proposed acquisition; legal proceedings are instituted against Bristol-Myers Squibb, Celgene or the combined company; Bristol-Myers Squibb, Celgene or the combined company is unable to retain key personnel; and the announcement or the consummation of the proposed acquisition has a negative effect on the market price of the capital stock of Bristol-Myers Squibb and Celgene or on Bristol-Myers Squibb\u2019s and Celgene\u2019s operating results.\nNo assurances can be given that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements will transpire or occur, or if any of them do occur, what impact they will have on the results of operations, financial condition or cash flows of Bristol-Myers Squibb or Celgene. Should any risks and uncertainties develop into actual events, these developments could have a material adverse effect on the proposed transaction and/or Bristol-Myers Squibb or Celgene, Bristol-Myers Squibb\u2019s ability to successfully complete the proposed transaction and/or realize the expected benefits from the proposed transaction. You are cautioned not to rely on Bristol-Myers Squibb\u2019s and Celgene\u2019s forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are and will be based upon management\u2019s then-current views and assumptions regarding future events and operating performance, and are applicable only as of the dates of such statements. Neither Bristol-Myers Squibb nor Celgene assumes any duty to update or revise forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, as of any future date.",

Cultivated since pre-Incan times, it is prized by indigenous peoples for its nutritional and medicinal properties along with its power as an aphrodisiac, energy enhancer and hormonal balancer.\nA dietary staple for the indigenous peoples of the Andes, Maca (L. meyenii) is rich in nutrients, containing 31 different minerals, amino acids, antioxidants, alkaloids and sterols. Maca is an \"adaptogen\", a substance which brings the body to a heightened state of resistance to disease. Studies suggest that it has a balancing effect on the hypothalamus, which in turn balances other endocrine glands in the body.\nMaca (L. meyenii) root has flourished for thousands of years in the high Andes at altitudes up to 14,000 feet, in extreme climatic conditions where few other plants can survive a single season. Scientists suggest that Maca's remarkable endurance may help to explain its energizing and adaptogenic properties.

        "raw_content": "7 Feb 2013 - Viewpoint\nBy Yasmin Shariff 7th February 2013 AJ\nBlaming babes in arms is a standard knee-jerk response to why there aren\u2019t more women architects in positions of seniority in the profession. Our culture of the \u2018wrong sort\u2019 is endemic- leaves, snow, rain, wind-so could it be that women architects arc having the wrong sort of babies?\nAccording to the General Medical Council (GMC) women account for 44 per cent (93,623) of a total of 213,886 registered and licensed doctors in the UK (\u2018The State of Medical Education and Practice in the UK 2012\u2019). The Law Society reports that women make up 47 per cent (56,720) of a total of l21,933solicitors with practicing certificates in England and Wales (\u2018Trends in the Solicitors\u2019 Profession Annual Statistical Report 2011\u2032).In contrast, we arc a tiny profession \u2013 only 33,456 people are registered with the Architects Registration Board (ARB) and, of these, only 21 per cent (6,911) arc women. As a western nation with strong equal opportunities legislation, and the sixth richest economy in the world,21 per cent in the 21st cenn1ry is a disgrace.\nIt is not all bad news, however. Multi-award-winning Alison Brooks\u2019 contribution to housing design has been deemed particularly worthy of celebration at a time when housing delivery in the UK has dropped to its lowest levels since the 1920s. ln 2004 Zaha Hadid was the first woman to win the coveted Pritzker Architecture Prize. Juror and architecture critic Ada Louise Huxtable said: \u2018Zaha Hadid is one of the most gifted practitioners of the art of architecture today \u2026 \u201cThere has been a consistently original and strong personal vision that has changed the way we sec and experience space.\u2019 Added to these achievements, since September 2009 the RIBA has had two consecutive women presidents, Ruth Reed and Angela Brady; women are gaining equal access to education; and there are no longer concerns about the numbers graduating from architecture schools. Talented women can make it to the top. But these exceptions mask a sinister and rotten kernel of inequality and discrimination.\nAny mention of the 2011 ARB statistic of 21 per cent immediately sends most architects (male and female) into denial and puts them on the defensive. Perhaps women are not as talented as men \u2013 or is it those wretched designer babies again? I had one myself I remember the good old days of 1am, 3am, then 5am feeds \u2013 not to mention all those nappies and 6pm childminder deadlines. Office politics and the Friday-night booze-ups were out of the question. Then there was the money or, more accurately, the lack of it. By the time I had paid the childminder and the rail fare, l was in deficit. Could it be that women simply cannot afford to work as architects?\nThis may well be the case. Research shows that women get paid 20-25 per cent less than their male counterparts. So how can they possibly afford the additional cost of childcare? After investing heavily in their education and graduating, a disproportionate number of women fail to register, and of those who do, a disproportionate number fail to remain on the register. Hence the miserable 21 per cent.\nMy own experience as a Part 3 examiner at Westminster for many years was that most of the exemplary case studies were authored by women. It is the se same feisty, ambitious, talented women who are dropping off the register because they are not being given a fair chance. Young graduates are totally ill-equipped to deal with the inequalities of the workspace and, from the evidence of reported salary levels, seem unable to negotiate a fair pay deal.\nThe frustration expressed by those who confided in me as their tutor is reflected in the comments made in the R.IBA 2003 report Why Do Women Leave Architecture?- namely that the reasons women leave tend to be a combination of factors and/or a \u2018final-straw\u2019 moment. Some of the key issues identified include: low or unequal pay; long, inflexible or family-unfriendly working hours; being sidelined; stressful working conditions; protective paternalism preventing development of experience; a macho culture; and sexism. The researchers found Little evidence that women leave because they are incompetent designers or because they no longer want to be architects. A major concern was the extent to which some architectural practices were operating outside of current legislation in relation to employment practice.\nThe ARB is failing miserably in its duty to ensure that good standards within the profession are consistently maintained for the benefit of the public and architects alike. Unlike the Law Society and the GMC, the ARB has not undertaken any review or survey of women in the profession for more than eight years. At my insistence, in 2005 the ARB carried out a survey and produced a report entitled Women in Architecture. Its findings corroborated those of the RlBA\u2019s 2003 review.\nDespite having two consecutive women presidents, the RlBA does not fare much better. Its latest detailed research on women in the profession dates back a decade. There is no monitoring of women in its 2011 annual report \u2013 however, figures released in December 2011 as part of its Future Trends Survey revealed a 7 per cent drop in the number of women architects over the previous two years. The current survey does not mention women.\nBoth the ARB and the RIBA state they are committed to equal opportunities, yet neither organisation has equal representation on its board or committees. In its response to its 2003 report, the RIBA admitted that the way some architectural practices were operating was a major concern \u2013 yet these practices continue with their chartered practice registration without any sanction. The status quo is being safeguarded by vested interests and an entrenched culture of discrimination. It seems the only way women can make it as architects in Britain is either by marrying an architect or having a wealthy relative. The RIBA has largely ignored the recommendations of its 2003 report and the ARB has shelved its own. If The Architects\u2019 Joumal hadn\u2019t pulled its finger out, the issue would have safely stayed festering under the carpet, out of sight and out of mind.\nThe problems, although complex and entrenched, are nor insurmountable. It is encouraging to see how other \u2018macho\u2019 cultures are being transformed: women now represent 44 per cent of FTSE 100 Board appointments.\nThe RIBA and the ARB need to take note of the initiatives of the Law Society. Recently at the launch of the report of the International Women in Law Summit 2012, Lucy Scott-Moncrieff, president of the Law Society of England and Wales, said: \u2018Gender inequity will not change simply because time passes and increased numbers of women are in the workforce.\nIt certainly hasn\u2019t so far. Only concerted resolute action will eliminate workplace inequity. As lawyers committed to equality before the law, and subject to anti-discrimination legislation, we have a particular responsibility to tackle this problem within our own profession.\n\u2018Discrimination against women and minorities prevents our societies from functioning at full capacity and benefiting from the talent of all in our communities. We can\u2019t solve the problems of the world but tackling discrimination within the profession is well within our grasp, and we should just do it.\u2019\nIf lawyers can shift their macho culture, so can architects. There is no excuse. The Think, Act, Report framework promotes greater transparency and encourages gender equality in organisations. Signing up to it should be mandatory for all chartered practices, as well as the ARB and the RIBA. I sincerely believe that architects take pride in being agents of change and that they have a social conscience. The biggest stumbling block is that few acknowledge the seriousness of the issue within the profession and that both the ARB and the RIBA are in denial. It is time to honestly open our hearts, minds and pockets to the talent that is currently being trashed and to stop paying lip service to equality and fairness.",

The selection event was held earlier this year, to give those selected a chance to get trained up with the World Champs in February.\nThe team started arriving in New Zealand this past weekend and is looking to shear in the North Island over the next couple of weeks before travelling south.\nOur shearing season back home normally starts with a little bit of pre-lamb in September and goes through until around the middle of March. It's all full wool, including the hoggets. There's no lambs shorn. Sheep breeds are mostly Polwarth and Corriedale.\nWool remains the main income earner for farmers. It's a fine wool, ideally ranging from 19 to 21 micron or 21 to 23 in the hoggets. There are two main wool-buyers, one from the UK and our local company the Falkland Wool Co-op, who on-sell it.\nI would say around 85% of the shearing is done by wool contractors. There's one main contractor on the Islands.\nThe average flock size would be around 5 to 6,000 with an average size of 10,000 hectares. Most are family farms but like Landcorp in New Zealand, the Falklands Government has a large land-holding with four farms that make up about a quarter of the total area farmed.\nLand is peaty and quite wet and a mix of low land and hill country. Agriculture is a very important industry for the Falklands, it sits alongside fishing and tourism as the country's major industries.\nWe are hoping for a strong showing next month. They've been up there, right amongst it the last couple of competitions having made the semi-finals so we're looking to feature again this time around.",

He is well-known in India and has been debunking similar claims for many years.\nThe miracle in this specific instance involved water dripping from the feet of a statue of the crucifixion, and so Edamuruku quickly identified the cause as a leaking drainage system. Apparently the water was being drawn up through the nail holes in the statue\u2019s feet by capillary action.\nEdamaruku commented that the church was simply exploiting people for money, an observation that was not exactly embraced with open arms by the cleric in question. He then later took part in a debate with the priest, Father Augustine Palett, who instead of actually debating, simply threatened legal action \u2013 if Edamaruku refused to apologize then he would face a blasphemy complaint. With no apology (it is the priest who should apologise for the blatant fraud), litigation commenced.\nThe Association of Concerned Catholics lodged a formal complaint with the Mumbai police, and they responded by arresting Edamaruku on the charge of \u201churting the religious sentiments of a particular community.\u201d Sadly yes, that is a real Indian law, specifically designed to clamp down on extremists from the various religious factions, it was never intended for a case like this.\nHe applied for \u201cbail,\u201d but this request was rejected because the judge thought jail would be the safest place for him, (interesting that the judge felt that the Catholics were a real threat).\nAs pointed out by one blogger recently \u2026\nIndia\u2019s Constitution only adds to the confusion. Clause (h) of Article 51-A states:\nIt shall be the duty of every citizen of India to develop the scientific temper, humanism and spirit of inquiry and reform.\nIn other words, Edamaruku was not only not breaking the law, he was fulfilling the Indian Constitution!\nNow you can help, there is a Petition for you to sign\nA petition has been set up to put international pressure on the Catholic Church to step in and call for the charges to be dropped.\nNew Humanist has lots more information here.\nYou can also read more about Sanal Edamaruku on his Wikipedia page here.\nUnrelated to the above, to give you an idea of who Sanal is, here he is a couple of years ago on Indian TV. It is a rather famous incident where he challenged live on TV tantrik Pandit Surendra Sharma to prove his claim that he could kill anyone with magical powers. It was a very powerful demonstration to millions that they were believing in complete bullshit \u2026 Sanal is indeed unafraid to confront, and has been doing his country a valuable service for many decades, so please do help and sign the petition.\nOne thought on \u201cYour Support Needed \u2013 Indian rationalist Sanal Edamaruku vs the Catholic Church\u201d\nKevin Snapp June 12, 2012 at 20:42\nThe church is only embarrassing itself with this nonsense, remer the whole Galeleo thing?\n\u2190 UK Prime Minister left 8-year old daughter behind after a pub visit\nevolutionary science = \u2018the new classics\u2019 \u2013 A proposal by Richard Dawkins \u2192",

        "raw_content": "\u2018The Dark Knight Rises:\u2019 New Scene Revealed, More Details on Catwoman Suit\nThe first time you watched the theatrical trailer for The Dark Knight Rises, a ton of questions obviously popped onto your head. For me, one of them was, \u201cWhy is Bruce Wayne in prison again?\u201d In Batman Begins, the young Mr. Wayne was in prison punishing himself for the fate of his parents only to come out of the experience stronger than before and on his way to becoming the Caped Crusader. In The Dark Knight Rises trailer, we see Bruce walking into an almost Inception-esque room filled with staircases and chanting prisoners. \u201cWhat does that mean?\u201d asks Bruce. \u201cRise,\u201d says a knowing prisoner. As fans, we can ask the same question, \u201cWhat does that mean?\u201d\nA new article written on the set of The Dark Knight Rises offers up a significant clue but, of course, it should be considered a massive spoiler. Read it, along with new details about Catwoman\u2019s suit, after the jump.\nThe information comes from the Los Angeles Times who recently ran a profile of Anne Hathaway\u2018s Catwoman. Here\u2019s the scene as described in the article. Again. beware of spoilers:\nSo it seems Selina Kyle is in cahoots with Bane, almost acting as one of his minions, at least at one point in the movie. Also, Bruce Wayne is a hostage (does Bane know his true identity?) and why are the citizens all sitting together behind barb wire? Throw those questions in with the images we\u2019ve already seen, such as Bane and Batman fighting on the stairs and Catwoman on the Bat Pod, and the mystery gets even murkier.\nAlso of note in that paragraph is the description of Kyle\u2019s heels. Does she use them in the film or are they just practical for a woman posing as a Cat? Here\u2019s what Hathaway said:\nI love the costume. I love the costume because everything has a purpose, nothing is in place for fantasy\u2019s sake, and that\u2019s the case with everything in Christopher Nolan\u2019s Gotham City.\nThere\u2019s more from Hathaway talking about her preparation and inspiration for the character at the Los Angeles Times story.\nHow do you think these new wrinkles fit in with what we know?\n\u2018The Hustle\u2019 Trailer: Anne Hathaway and Rebel Wilson Are a Couple Dirty Rotten Scoundrels\nNew \u2018Sesame Street\u2019 Movie is a Musical That Gets Lost in New York\n/Tweeted, Action/Adventure, Adaptation, Comic Book/Superhero, Quotes, Sequels, Warner Brothers, Anne-Hathaway, Christopher-Nolan, the dark knight rises",

        "raw_content": "HOME / FASHION / To Be Free, And What It Means\nBy Lourd De Veyra\nThis year, the Philippines celebrates its 119th year of independence. Just a reminder before you treat it as another excuse to go to the beach or on Netflix marathons: thousands of our forebears suffered so we don\u2019t have to bow to foreign invaders in the streets.\nThere was a time the \u201cFilipino\u201d did not exist. Both the term and the idea. We were either indios, (natives), mestizos, or insulares(Spaniards born and living in the colonies) or peninsulares (pure-blooded Spaniards born in Spain, conio). Before the arrival of colonizers, we were classified according to kingdoms and tribes. Many of them often warring with each other.\nThere was a time when the flag did not exist either. Neither did we have a national anthem. These things did not exist until 1898. For many of us, June 12 is just one of our many holidays. Predictably, major thoroughfares, government offices, would be flooded with red, white, and blue.\nIndependence Day. One of the things we now take for granted. We think these things have been there all throughout.\nJust to be clear: June 12 is the proclamation of independence. The actual attainment of independence is another matter altogether. After declaring ourselves free from Spain, the Americans came. Three hundred years in a convent, 50 years in Hollywood\u2014that\u2019s how one writer described the Philippines under Spain and the US.\nAnd it also wasn\u2019t always June 12.\nFrom 1946 to 1961, the Philippines always celebrated its day of independence on July 4, same as the US. It was President Diosdado Macapagal who changed July 4 to June 12 via Proclamation no. 28. July 4 simply became Fil-American Friendship Day.\nHere\u2019s more: The Flag Law of 1907. Under the American colonial government, from 1907 to 1919, it was unlawful to display the Philippine Flag. You could be punished with jail time of up to five years and a fine of up to P5,000. And it didn\u2019t have to be just the actual flag but anything\u2014pins, buttons, and badges\u2014that remotely bore some semblance, or had red, white, and blue.\nNow, some students treat it like a mop\u2014literally. Or just another pop star\u2019s onstage fashion prop. Yes, the flag deserves our respect. These are not mere pieces of cloth. Every thread, every fiber should remind us of the sacrifice of every Filipino who suffered under foreign conquerors. All uprisings, even failed ones, were steps toward a free nation. \u201cSa manlulupig/ \u2018Di ka pasisiil\u201d we always sing as we watch the flag ascend up the pole with our hands dramatically pressed to our hearts. The whole ritual only transcends rote if we only know the stories behind each element.\nNational Artist F. Sionil Jose lamented our lack of a sense of nation, the concept of nation as an aggregate of people with shared values. Seriously, what is \u201cnation?\u201d Is it the person beside you on the train? The officemate whose political views you don\u2019t agree with?\nWhy do we throw trash mindlessly, or not care what happens to taxpayers\u2019 money? From a lack of a sense of nation. What makes people love, live, die, and kill for their countries? To use a book title by the late historian Benedict Anderson, \u201cimagined communities.\u201d\nAnd to nourish our imagination, we must read. We must study the past. For what? Not necessarily for inspiration. We must stop looking at those exalted historical figures as superheroes. The moment we accept them to be as human and as fallible as us is when illumination begins. History is not always a self-help, inspirational bestseller.\nIt is, of course, hard to think of things like colonial oppression and injustice in this day and age of relative comfort, when everything is conveniently Google-able. An active appreciation of the past shows gratitude to a previous generation who risked life and limb just so their children and grandchildren would not be born as slaves.\nWe are free because our forefathers imagined us walking the streets without fear of not having to bow to a foreign soldier. We get easily irritated at a simple security check at the mall, when our lolos and lolas went through so much more so we could be where we are today.\nFrom imagination springs courage, then action. Sounds corny? Hey, you read The Secret. Without a sense of history, students will never become citizens. You think history is uncool? You know what else is uncool? Not knowing your past.",

The Island embodies the nexus of nature, organisms, histories, art, culture and industry. Constructed upon an abandoned mining quarry, the skeletal remains of this operation have been filled to create the lake in which the Island floats. The Island of Paradise is built upon the bedrock of the quarry and is designed to capture a symbiotic relationship for traditionally conflicting forces. A decaying industrial complex serves as the artistic platform for new sculpture created exclusively from recyclable and re-purposed material. This relic of the once vigorous era of labor-intensive industry is now transformed to display the vigor of natural life and echoes the Earth's repossession of the man-made. Regionally indigenous ancient flora and fauna from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance will feed migratory and local birds, bridging the Island of today with the history of its surrounding environment and the culture of the Renaissance. The \"Island of Paradise\" forms a crucible, which melds past and present to display an amalgamation of organisms, fauna, times, ironies, ideas and histories. It is the Inferno, Purgatory and Paradise conjoined to become a union of the Divine, the Universal and the Human.\n\u2190 Alice Aycock: The Turbulence Series, October 18 - November 18, 2017Join us on the roller dancing rink!

        "raw_content": "Preferential Transfers IV: Defenses to Preference Avoidance Actions (Part V)\nHere is the fifth defense against preference avoidance actions, the so-called floating lien defense.\nDefenses To Preference Avoidance Actions, Part V:\nThe Floating Lien Defense\nIn my last post I discussed the security interest defense, and noted that \u00a7 547(c)(3) requires that the security agreement must clearly identify the collateral securing the debt. The example that set the stage for the discussion of \u00a7 547(c)(3) was of the purchase of a car. The debtor took possession of the car and at the same time transferred a security interest in the car to the creditor. Thus, the debtor had the car at the time of the transfer.\nHowever, a lien can be created even before the debtor has the collateral, or even before the collateral comes into existence. Such a lien is called a floating lien.\nFor example, suppose the debtor is a business that regularly purchases widgets from a supplier, and then resells them at its retail outlets. The parties can create a lien that specifies that all future deliveries of widgets become collateral securing a floating debt the debtor has to the supplier. As the inventory is sold, the debt is paid from the proceeds, with the unsold inventory serving as collateral for the unpaid portion of the debt. Continue Reading Preferential Transfers IV: Defenses to Preference Avoidance Actions (Part V)\nNicholas Gebelt is speaking on Preferential Transfers on May 8 in Orange, CA and May 15 in Pasadena, CA\nIf you\u2019ve been following my blog posts on preferential transfers and would like more in-depth coverage, I will be speaking on this topic on May 8 in Orange, California and again on May 15 in Pasadena, California. In addition to the topic of Preferential Transfers: Preference Actions and Substantive Defenses, I will also cover the topics of 1) Fraudulent Transfers: Actual Intent and Affirmative Defenses and 2) Appellate Procedure and Strategies: Appeals from Final Orders and Interlocutory Appeals. I will present this talk at the National Business Institute\u2019s \u201cBankruptcy Litigation 101\u201d seminar in Orange, CA on May 8, 2014 and the \u201cBankruptcy Litigation 101\u201d seminar in Pasadena, CA on May 15, 2014. Two other speakers will be joining me. In all you\u2019ll learn how to: spot potential adversary issues, draft complaints and resolve/defend them; confidently handle preference and fraudulent transfer actions; get tips on what bankruptcy judges expect and how to avoid common mistakes when you bring or defend an adversary proceeding; understand how the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure have been altered in the Bankruptcy Rules and by local court rules; and examine appellate procedure and rules so you\u2019re prepared to take your case to the next level.\nIf you have some experience filing bankruptcies and would like to expand your practice into bankruptcy litigation, I hope to see you there.\nPreferential Transfers IV: Defenses to Preference Avoidance Actions (Part IV)\nHere is the fourth defense against preference avoidance actions, the so-called net result defense.\nDefenses To Preference Avoidance Actions, Part IV:\nThe Net Result Defense\nSuppose you borrowed $10,000 from ABC Bank. After paying back ABC Bank the $10,000, you borrowed another $7,000 from ABC Bank. And suppose you filed for bankruptcy protection less than ninety days after repaying the $10,000 to ABC Bank. Can the trustee assigned to your case avoid the $10,000 payment as a preference? The answer to this question is the point of \u00a7 547(c)(4):\nThe trustee may not avoid under this section a transfer \u2014 . . . to or for the benefit of a creditor, to the extent that, after such transfer, such creditor gave new value to or for the benefit of the debtor \u2014\n(A) not secured by an otherwise unavoidable security interest; and (B) on account of which new value the debtor did not make an otherwise unavoidable transfer to or for the benefit of such creditor.\nBased on our discussion of \u00a7 547(b), we might conclude that the trustee can recover the entire $10,000. However, \u00a7 547(c)(4) limits the recover to the net preference, which is $3,000. Thus, while you repaid $10,000, the net benefit that ABC Bank derived from the transaction was only $3,000 because it gave you $7,000 after the repayment.\nPut another way, when you paid the bank $10,000, your subsequent bankruptcy estate was diminished by $10,000. When the bank later gave you $7,000, the subsequent bankruptcy estate was replenished by $7,000, leaving a net shortfall of $3,000. Therefore, the trustee would only be able to recover $3,000 rather than the entire $10,000. Continue Reading Preferential Transfers IV: Defenses to Preference Avoidance Actions (Part IV)\nPreferential Transfers IV: Defenses to Preference Avoidance Actions (Part III)\nHere is the third defense against preference avoidance actions, the so-called security interest defense.\nDefenses To Preference Avoidance Actions, Part III:\nThe Security Interest Defense\nSuppose you wish to buy a new car that costs $30,000, but you don\u2019t have $30,000. Your solution is to borrow money for the purchase. The lender wants some assurance that it will be repaid, so it insists that you sign a contract that gives it the right to repossess the car in the event that you default on the loan. When you sign the contract you transfer a security interest in the car to the creditor, making the car collateral or security for the loan. The creditor is then said to have a security interest in the car. However, the creditor must take an additional step the perfect this interest: it must record the transaction with the Department of Motor Vehicles . Otherwise, the debt you have to the creditor is just an unsecured loan.\nIn similar fashion, any security interest \u2014 whether in a car, or a home, or some other property \u2014 must be recorded with the appropriate government authority to be perfected. Otherwise, the underlying debt is merely an unsecured obligation.\nNow suppose you file for bankruptcy protection less than ninety days after the transaction. Can the trustee assigned to the case undo the transfer of the security interest, thus rendering the debt unsecured? The answer to that question is the focus of the security interest defense that is embodied in \u00a7 547(c)(3):\nThe trustee may not avoid under this section a transfer \u2014 . . . that creates a security interest in property acquired by the debtor \u2014\n(A) to the extent such security interest secures new value that was \u2014\n(i) given at or after the signing of a security agreement that contains a description of such property as collateral;\n(ii) given by or on behalf of the secured party under such agreement;\n(iii) given to enable the debtor to acquire such property; and\n(iv) in fact used by the debtor to acquire such property; and\n(B) that is perfected on or before 30 days after the debtor receives possession of such property.\nWe have already discussed the meaning of \u201cnew value\u201d as it is defined in \u00a7 547(a)(2), so we won\u2019t spill any more ink on it. The key elements of part (A) are: the security agreement must clearly identify the collateral, and the debt must be purchase money debt, i.e., the debt was incurred to purchase the collateral. Thus, this defense is unavailable to the loan sharks on late-night TV who promise to lend you money if you put up your already paid off car as collateral.\nBut what if you file your bankruptcy papers just a few days after making the purchase, and the creditor hadn\u2019t gotten around to recording the security interest with the DMV? That\u2019s the raison d\u2019\u00eatre of part (B). The creditor has up to thirty days after the transaction to record the security interest and be protected from the trustee\u2019s avoidance of the security interest.\nIf you\u2019re facing a preference avoidance action, and need an analysis of your case and the possible application of the security interest defense to your case, contact a highly skilled bankruptcy attorney to help you.",

A diuretic is seen as a masking agent, which MLB treats as a positive test.\nThe 80-game suspension is mandatory for a first offense for PED usage. Cano, 35, is batting .287 with four home runs and 23 RBIs this season. In his career, Cano has hit 305 home runs in 2,037 games. He is second all-time in homers by a second baseman behind only Jeff Kent (377).\nCano released a statement through the MLBPA following the announcement of his suspensions, which is effective immediately.\n\"I would never do anything to cheat the rules of the game that I love,\" he wrote. \"And after undergoing dozens of tests over more than a decade, I have never tested positive for a Performance Enhancing Substance for the simple reason that I have never taken one.\"\nAnd Robinson Cano says his piece. pic.twitter.com/kOAIxx6vmz\n- Jared Diamond (@jareddiamond) May 15, 2018\nCano, 35, is currently on the disabled list after suffering a broken bone in his hand after behing hit by a pitch. He will be out six to eight weeks, which will count toward his suspension.\nHowever, according to Spotrac, Cano will forfeit $10.3 million in 2018 salary. He signed a 10-year, $240 million contract with the Mariners in 2014. In addition, if the Mariners make the postseason, he will be ineligible to appear in a game.\nPer his reported 80-game suspension for a PED masking agent, Robinson Cano stands to forfeit over $10.3M in 2018 salary w/ the #Mariners.

        "title": "A Guide to Resourcing Your eCommerce Support & Customer Service | Statement",
        "raw_content": "For any new eCommerce store, providing excellent customer service right from the get go can make a huge difference.\nYou need to build the reputation of your eCommerce store and give customers confidence that you\u2019re a professional business that really cares.\nIf you\u2019re to do this, you\u2019ll need to think carefully about resourcing customer service and support for your eCommerce store. You\u2019ll have to consider the different systems, procedures and tools that will need to be implemented, and use them effectively to serve your customers.\nHere\u2019s our guide to resourcing your eCommerce support and customer service.\nTo start with, you\u2019ll have to make provisions for the staff and human resources required to properly resource your customer service.\nYou\u2019ll most likely have to think about hiring customer service staff or support agents to assist customers throughout the purchasing process.\nThis means considering the resources you\u2019ll need both to recruit and employ these members of staff.\nOnce you have customer service staff in place, you may also have to provide them with training on an ongoing basis. If you\u2019re to ensure that your customer support remains at a high standard, regular training will be a must.\nOn-Site Support Channels\nOnce your support staff are ready to go, think about the support and customer service resources you\u2019ll need on your site to engage visitors while they browse.\nYour on-site customer service is vital for removing barriers to purchase and helping customers find the products that are right for them.\nYou may want to think about adding a live chat service to your site to offer advice and help to customers as they search through your site.\nYou may also think about setting aside resources for regularly updating your service pages such as delivery and returns information.\nYou\u2019ll also definitely want to allocate resources to maintaining and improving your product descriptions, site navigation and the general usability of your eCommerce site.\nOff-Site Support Channels\nAs well as the on-site customer service and support you\u2019ll need to resource, it\u2019s also important to think about off-site resources that will make up an important part of your customer service.\nPerhaps the most important of these are your social media channels. These are vital touch points for any eCommerce store, and will help you engage with customers, provide them with social proof and solve their queries.\nYou should also think about allocating resources to email marketing. Not only will this help you to keep customers engaged, but you\u2019ll also be able to provide them with targeted and personalised information that will give them the best experience possible.\nConsider through which channels your customers will want to contact you. You should resource support channels that customers are eager to engage with, to give them the simplest, most enjoyable experience.\nIn addition to your active customer service and support resources, you will also want to make provision for more passive methods; support channels and tools that your support staff don\u2019t actively engage with customers through, but are nevertheless a vital part of your customer service and support.\nThese will include things like automated emails for orders, deliveries and abandoned carts. These will help to keep customers informed throughout the purchasing process and allow you to offer useful information and deals through automations.\nAgain, you should also think about things such as on-site FAQs and knowledge banks to help inform customers. Producing content for a blog on a regular basis can be another great way of keeping customers informed and informing their purchasing decisions.\nResourcing your support infrastructure well will take pressure off your support team and allow them to allocate more time to each customer.\nFinally, a growing eCommerce business will need to think about allocating resources to customer service software and dedicated systems. This will help to organise and streamline the customer service and support process.\nYou may wish to consider a help desk system to manage customer queries and allow you to implement support tickets.\nAs your business grows, your need to resource systems like this will increase.

        "raw_content": "Light Pollution: How to Save Money on Utilities\nJust imagine what an image of the earth would have looked like to an observer in space a hundred years ago, it would have been very dark. Light pollution is also called photo-pollution or luminous pollution and it is causing serious problem in the world today. Aside from light pollution, there are also airborne pollutants and dust in the atmosphere, which translates to polluting the skies and contaminating the air we breathe.\nThere are a number of environmental impacts, which can be due to light pollution, and it is a problem that should be taken very seriously. The issue is affecting the entire planet and leads to further global warming, which is why we as consumers must do our part to reduce our carbon footprint. To make light requires electricity, which is generated by the burning of fossil fuels, thus increasing levels of carbon monoxide in the atmosphere. Global warming is a very real threat to our world and we need to do what we can to ensure we do not contribute further to the problem.\nSome of the environmental impact of light pollution directly affects the animals of our planet. Nocturnal birds use the moon and stars as navigational tools and if flying through brightly illuminated areas, they can become disoriented and injured. Certain reptiles and mammals are suffering from bright light and will not be able to eat and mate properly, thus putting the species in danger. Female sea turtles deliberately shy away from bright lights and it interferes with nesting behaviors and the newly hatched turtles are drawn to the light instead of the sea, which can have a detrimental effect on the habitat and survival.\nPrecious resources are wasted through excessive use of lighting and our planet will only continue to suffer until we, the people, do something to stop it. There are many things a person can do to stop over illumination and prevent precious energy resources from being squandered. Things to preserve energy can include; not over-lighting a home, not wasting light, use lights only when needed, shine lights downward and use shields and reflectors to disburse the rays, light with energy efficient bulbs and install solar lightening whenever and wherever possible.\nWe live in a society that has recently began jumping on the \u201cgoing green\u201d trend and through incorporating just a few small changes we too, can make a huge difference in the world around us. It is important for each of us to do our part to leave this planet in a bit better shape than it is right now and by observing a few simple \u201cgreen\u201d tricks into daily life, it is not as hard as some might think.",

This hat has been heavily influenced by the weaving craft and the Industrial Revolution (1760 \u2013 1840). I find this era particularly exhilarating because it is a key part of British history whereby Britain underwent change in all aspects of life.\nThe invention of the power loom by Edmund Cartwright and Richard Roberts set the mechanisation of the weaving industry in motion and weaving became a profession. For the first time, women were being paid for the work. In that way, it could be argued that the Industrial Revolution helped to give rise to movements for women\u2019s rights.\nWeaving has been passed down by generations and generation of skilled women, but it is a skill which has been dying out in Britain over the past century. Nonetheless, much like millinery, weaving has been kept alive by a few skilled artisans who are determined to keep the art alive. My hat has been directly inspired by these women, as well as the craft of weaving both before and after the Industrial Revolution.\nI recently made a visit to SIL Holdings; a historic mill in Bradford which is still in use today where they had some of the old looms on display. I was able to watch as a woman wove threads into a fabric on an industrial loom.\nInspired by the techniques I saw at the mill, I took the yarn and made it into balls of wool and then used a circular handloom to create the woven cover for the hat as well as the centrepiece. The circular centrepiece at the front of the hat is reminiscent of the water wheel used to drive the mechanical processes in the mill.",

        "title": "Spotting and chasing a tornado - Sun Sentinel",
        "raw_content": "Spotting and chasing a tornado\nEver wonder what the difference is between a tornado spotter and a tornado chaser? Or want to know the difference between a funnel coud and a tornado. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is here to help.\nWhat's the difference between a spotter and a chaser? The differences are in method and motivation. Chasers are more mobile than spotters, and unlike most spotters, travel hundreds of miles and across state lines to observe storms. Spotters' primary function is to report critical weather information, on a live basis, to the National Weather Service through some kind of local spotter coordinator. Chasers, on the other hand, may be doing it for any number of reasons, including scientific field programs, storm photography, self-education, commercial video opportunity, or news media coverage. Some storm spotters also do occasional chasing outside their home area; and some chasers are certified and equipped to do real-time spotting.\nWho were the first storm chasers? The late Roger Jensen is believed to be the first person who actively hunted for severe thunderstorms and tornadoes - in the upper Midwest in the late 1940s. David Hoadley of Falls Church, VA, has been doing so annually since 1956, and is widely considered the \"pioneer\" storm chaser. The late Neil Ward of NSSL was the first storm-chasing scientist, using insights gained from his field observations of tornadoes to build more complex and accurate tornado simulations in his laboratory. The first federally funded, scientific storm intercept teams fanned out from NSSL across the Oklahoma plains in 1972; but their greatest early success came a year later with their intensive documentation of the Union City, OK, tornado of 24 May 1973. This was also the first time a tornado was measured intensively by both storm intercept teams and Doppler radar--the forerunning event to the nationwide network of Doppler radars now used for early warning.\nI saw a low-hanging cloud in a thunderstorm. Was it a tornado? Without being there or seeing good video of it, I can't say. Many low-hanging clouds are not tornadoes, but sometimes are wrongly reported as tornadoes anyway. The most important things to look for when you see a suspicious cloud feature are:\nRapid cloud-base rotation, if you are close enough to make out cloud movement, and\nA concentrated, whirling debris or dust cloud at ground level under the thunderstorm base.\nIt is common to have one without the other. Many thunderstorms produce dust plumes in their outflow; these tend to move in one direction and not rotate. In gustnadoes, there is spinning motion at ground level but not at cloud base (therefore, not a tornado). If the ground is wet enough, or the circulation weak enough, there may not be any debris under a rotating cloud base. But persistent rotation in the cloud base is potentially very dangerous and should be reported. At night, also look for persistent cloud lowering to ground, especially if accompanied by a power flash.\nWhat's the difference between a funnel cloud and a tornado? What is a funnel cloud? In a tornado, a damaging circulation is on the ground - whether or not the cloud is. The phrase, \"tornado on the ground,\" is redundant! A tornado, by definition, is \"on the ground.\" A true funnel cloud rotates, but has no ground contact or debris, and is not doing damage. If it is a low-hanging cloud with no rotation, it is not a funnel cloud. Caution: tornadoes can happen without a funnel; and what looks like \"only\" a funnel cloud may be doing damage which can't be seen from a distance. Some funnels are high-based and may never reach the surface. Still, since a funnel cloud might quickly become a tornado (remember rotation!), it should be reported by spotters.\nWhy are some tornadoes white, and others black or gray or even red? Tornadoes tend to look darkest when looking southwest through northwest in the afternoon. In those cases, they are often silhouetted in front of a light source, such as brighter skies west of the thunderstorm. If there is heavy precipitation behind the tornado, it may be dark gray, blue or even white, depending on where most of the daylight is coming from. This happens often when the spotter is looking north or east at a tornado, and part of the forward-flank and/or rear-flank cores. Tornadoes wrapped in rain may exhibit varieties of gray shades on gray, if they are visible at all. Lower parts of tornadoes also can assume the color of the dust and debris they are generating; for example, a tornado passing across dry fields in western or central Oklahoma may take on the hue of the red soil so prevalent there.\nWhat is a gustnado? A gustnado is a small and usually weak whirlwind which forms as an eddy in thunderstorm outflows. They do not connect with any cloud-base rotation and are not tornadoes. But because gustnadoes often have a spinning dust cloud at ground level, they are sometimes wrongly reported as tornadoes. Gustnadoes can do minor damage (e.g., break windows and tree limbs, overturn trash cans and toss lawn furniture), and should be avoided.\nWhat is a \"wedge\" tornado? A \"rope\" tornado? These are slang terms often used by storm observers to describe tornado shape and appearance. Remember, the size or shape of a tornado does not say anything certain about its strength! \"Wedge\" tornadoes simply appear to be at least as wide as they are tall (from ground to ambient cloud base). \"Rope\" tornadoes are very narrow, often sinuous or snake-like in form. Tornadoes often (but not always!) assume the \"rope\" shape in their last stage of life; and the cloud rope may even break up into segments. Again, tornado shape and size does not signal strength! Some rope tornadoes can still do violent damage of EF4 or EF5.\nWhat is a landspout? This is storm-chaser slang for a non-supercell tornado. So-called \"landspouts\" resemble waterspouts in that way, and also in their typically small size and weakness compared to the most intense supercell-spawned tornadoes. But \"landspouts\" are tornadoes by definition; and they are capable of doing significant damage and killing people.\nDoes hail always come before the tornado? Rain? Lightning? Utter silence? Not necessarily, for any of those. Rain, wind, lightning, and hail characteristics vary from storm to storm, from one hour to the next, and even with the direction the storm is moving with respect to the observer. While large hail can indicate the presence of an unusually dangerous thunderstorm, and can happen before a tornado, don't depend on it. Hail, or any particular pattern of rain, lightning or calmness, is not a reliable predictor of tornado threat.\nHow do tornadoes dissipate? The details are still debated by tornado scientists. We do know tornadoes need a source of instability (heat, moisture, etc.) and a larger-scale property of rotation (vorticity) to keep going. There are a lot of processes around a thunderstorm which can possibly rob the area around a tornado of either instability or vorticity. One is relatively cold outflow--the flow of wind out of the precipitation area of a shower or thunderstorm. Many tornadoes have been observed to go away soon after being hit by outflow. For decades, storm observers have documented the death of numerous tornadoes when their parent circulations (mesocyclones) weaken after they become wrapped in outflow air - either from the same thunderstorm or a different one. The irony is that some kinds of thunderstorm outflow may help to cause tornadoes, while other forms of outflow may kill tornadoes.\nWhat happens when two tornadoes come together? That is more unusual than it seems, because most video that seems to show tornadoes merging actually involves either one tornado, or one among multiple subvortices, going behind another. On those very rare occasions when tornadoes do merge, it usually involves a larger and stronger tornado that simply draws in and absorbs the lesser circulation, then keeps on going.\nHow long does a tornado last? Tornadoes can last from several seconds to more than an hour. The longest-lived tornado in history is really unknown, because so many of the long-lived tornadoes reported from the early-mid 1900s and before are believed to be tornado series instead. Most tornadoes last less than 10 minutes.\nWhat is a waterspout? A waterspout is a tornado over water - usually meaning non-supercell tornadoes over water. Waterspouts are common along the southeast U.S. coast - especially off southern Florida and the Keys - and can happen over seas, bays and lakes worldwide. Although waterspouts are always tornadoes by definition; they don't officially count in tornado records unless they hit land. They are smaller and weaker than the most intense Great Plains tornadoes, but still can be quite dangerous. Waterspouts can overturn boats, damage larger ships, do significant damage when hitting land, and kill people. The National Weather Service will often issue special marine warnings when waterspouts are likely or have been sighted over coastal waters, or tornado warnings when waterspouts can move onshore.\nHow are tornadoes in the northern hemisphere different from tornadoes in the southern hemisphere? The sense of rotation is usually the opposite. Most tornadoes (but not all!) rotate cyclonically, which is counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise south of the equator. Anticyclonic tornadoes (clockwise-spinning in the northern hemisphere) have been observed, however--usually in the form of waterspouts, non-supercell land tornadoes, or anticyclonic whirls around the rim of a supercell's mesocyclone. There have been several documented cases of cyclonic and anticyclonic tornadoes under the same thunderstorm at the same time. Anticyclonically rotating supercells with tornadoes are extremely rare; but one struck near Sunnyvale, CA, in 1998. Two clockwise tornadoes from another anticyclonic storm struck south-central Oklahoma on 10 May 2010. Remember, \"cyclonic\" tornadoes spin counter-clockwise in the northern hemisphere, and clockwise in the southern.\nWhat does a tornado sound like? That depends on what it is hitting, its size, intensity, closeness and other factors. The most common tornado sound is a continuous rumble, like a nearby train. Sometimes a tornado produces a loud whooshing sound, smilar to a waterfall, or the noise of open car windows while driving very fast. Tornadoes which are tearing through densely populated areas may be producing all kinds of loud noises at once, which collectively may make a tremendous roar. Just because you may have heard a loud roar during a damaging storm does not necessarily mean it was a tornado. Any intense thunderstorm wind can produce damage and cause a roar.",

Population 2,429, inhabiting .379 houses. It is situated on the road to Rathfarnham and Tallaght.\nOn the 2nd August, 1649, it was the scene of a great battle between the Royalist army and the Parliamentarian forces; the former commanded by the Marquess of Ormonde, and the Republicans headed by Colonel Michael Jones: the result was, the Royal army, consisting of 11,000 foot and horse, were completely routed, 600 killed, and 300 officers and 1,500 men made prisoners. Ludlow describes Rathmines, in his time, as \"encompassed with a wall 16 feet high enclosing 10 acres.\"\nLittle more than twenty years ago, it was an insignificant village, but is now one continued line of elegant buildings, upwards of a mile and half in length, intersected by numerous terraces, with detached villas, and only separated from the city at Portobello, by the Grand Canal, here crossed by Latouche's bridge, and where the municipal and parliamentary boundaries terminate. The Church, which serves as chapel of ease to that of St. Peter's, and dedicated to the Holy Trinity, is in the pointed style, with a square tower, and spire and vaulted roof, with lancet windows, after the design of the ancient crypts. The Roman Catholic Chapel is a large and handsome structure, in the later style, and the principal one of the Union of St. Mary and St. Peter. A branch of the Loretto Convent is in Upper Rathmines. On the right of the road from Dublin is Portobello Artillery and Cavalry Barracks for 600 officers, men, and horses. There are female free and National schools, and a Police station in Rathmines-avenue.\nRathfarnham omnibuses pass the road five times each day, at fares of 4d. inside, 3d. outside. It is within the General Post Office delivery. Letters to be forwarded same day or evening, must be deposited in the Post Office receiver at noon, or by 4, p.m.",

And now that the future is here, that prediction is looking pretty good. Glorious modern luxury hotels are even sprouting up in the traditional environs of the old French Concession; this one, Twelve at Hengshan, was designed by the Italian architect Mario Botta, who brought with him the terra cotta bricks that make up the hotel\u2019s sleek geometric fa\u00e7ade.\nIt\u2019s a part of Starwood\u2019s Luxury Collection, so it\u2019s hardly a fly-by-night operation. But neither is it a bit of beige corporate blandness \u2014 they\u2019re not averse to a bit of personality around Luxury Collection way, and this hotel\u2019s got a generous helping of it. Not only is the architecture almost excessively distinguished, but hidden away from the street view is an elliptical central courtyard, which is an unexpected bit of green in a city that\u2019s better known for other shades.\nMeanwhile in the rooms you\u2019ll find things looking a bit more familiar. Which is not a bad thing. The look is Art Deco, Chinese-style, which is also not a bad thing. Nor are the massive windows with their views of the city or the quiet courtyard \u2014 they actually open to let the air in, which is either a treat or a slight hazard, depending on the day \u2014 or the large and lavish bathrooms and the generous living spaces. Add to that a couple of restaurants and bars serving both international and Cantonese fare, and one of the better hotel spas in Shanghai, and you\u2019ve got yourself an impressive luxury hotel. We told you to watch this space.\n1 child under the age of 12 stays for free using existing beds. Extra bed is available on request. Extra beds have a supplement of 345 CNY/night. The maximum number of extra beds in room is 1. Please contact CustomerService@TabletHotels.com for assistance.\nNearby hotels with availability: View more hotels in Shanghai:",

        "raw_content": "An Adults Perspective On Being A Preemie\nThrough www.popottawa.org I have been able to connect with many preemie parents. The guest poster today is not only the mom of 3 pre-term babies, but a preemie herself.\nThe Story of \u2026\nChantel Morin (nee Barnes)\nI was born at 27 weeks on December 23, 1980 weighing 960g. My mother was sick and required surgery, which was most likely the reason for my prematurity, but we all know these things can just happen. I had a fairly uneventful, yet long stay in the NICU. I had bilateral pneumothoraces and a persistent PDA that was treated with medication. I was very fortunate to not have any other major setbacks or complications and was able to go home on April 1, 1981 when I hit the magic 5lb mark. My prematurity has never affected my health or development much. I had frequent colds as a child, and still to this day, never gained much in the \"size\" factor - I'm about 4'10\" but we'll blame genetics on that one (My mom was 4'11\" and my Dad is 5'4\"). I met my milestones and started school with everyone else. Currently I do have retinopathy of prematurity and I have had to have laser surgery to both retinas that is closely monitored and always will be; I was one of the lucky ones.\nMy schooling was never affected, I was always a good student, A\u2019s and B\u2019s, and worked hard for what I had. I graduated high school having been on the honour roll 4/5 years and in 1999 was accepted into the University of Ottawa Bachelor of Science in Nursing\u2019s Program. I graduated with my BScN in 2003 and I continued my education by working on an Advanced Nursing Specialty Certificate in Neonates and completed this is 2013.\nGrowing up I was involved in Girl Guides and bowling was my sport. Through the teenage years, bowling was my life, between leagues, tournaments, coaching and even working at the alley, it was a 2nd home to which I gained life long memories and lifelong friends (and is how I met my husband).\nI am currently living in Ottawa, and I have been working in the Childbirth field for 10 years. If you had asked me when I was 5 years old what I wanted to be when I grew up, it was a nurse, it was always a nurse. I was drawn to it in thanks to those wonderful people in the NICU that helped save my life, my family always instilled in me how lucky I was to be here, and that if it wasn\u2019t for those wonderful nurses that life might have turned out differently for me. I am so fortunate to be able to give back to others what was given to me, and help instil hope in moms with sick babies. I currently hold a permanent position in a level 2 special care nursery and love every minute of it! Recently I was able to attend a conference put on by McMaster's Neonatal Nurses and was beyond humbled to meet one of the nurses that cared for me and, even more remembered me 32 years later!\nOn July 31, 2004, I married my best friend and in 2006 we welcomed our own premature babies - Jacob at 36 weeks, then in 2008 and Eric at 34 weeks and most recently our Luke in 2014 at 36 weeks. I have now officially been on every side - the against all odds surviving prem, the nurse for pre-term babies and the mom of pre-terms!\nI am a busy working mom, and have been blessed with a wonderful family. Between the kids extra-curricular activities and shift work, it doesn't leave me much time for my hobbies. I try to make time for exercise and enjoy biking and yoga. I love to scrapbook and enjoy knitting as well.\nTo all you parents, grandparents, or aunts and uncles reading this, never lose hope. As grim as things may seem, hope is the one thing you must hold on to, my family never knew if I\u2019d make it to Christmas and now here I am today, healthy and happy with a bright future. Support your new baby in everything they do, work with them, they will be all that they can be and he or she I\u2019m sure will be healthy and happy too. Enjoy your new families.\nWhat an inspiration to other parents of preterm babies",

        "raw_content": "Arkwright (Hardcover) (Allen Steele)\nWritten by a highly regarded expert on space travel and exploration, Allen Steele'sArkwright features the precision of hard science fiction with a compelling cast of characters. In the vein of classic authors such as Robert Heinlein, Isaac Asimov, and Arthur C. Clarke, Nathan Arkwright is a seminal author of the twentieth century. At the end of his life he becomes reclusive and cantankerous, refusing to appear before or interact with his legion of fans. Little did anyone know, Nathan was putting into motion his true, timeless legacy.\nConvinced that humanity cannot survive on Earth, his Arkwright Foundation dedicates itself to creating a colony on an Earth-like planet several light years distant. Fueled by Nathan's legacy, generations of Arkwrights are drawn together, and pulled apart, by the enormity of the task and weight of their name.\nThis is classic, epic science fiction and engaging character-driven storytelling, which will appeal to devotees of the genre as well as fans of current major motion pictures such asGravity and Interstellar.\nAuthor: Allen Steele",

That is just what the Mars 100 have committed to do! The Mars 100 are the last 100 applicants, 50 men and 50 women, who are competing for a place amongst 4 people to be the first humans to colonize Mars.\nThe project was announced in 2013 by the Dutch venture Mars One. Since then applicants have been cut down to the final 100. It will apparently cost around about $6 BILLION to send the first 4 people to the colony on Mars, to cover funds Mars One is preparing a game show that will follow the Mars 100 through the final challenges that will decide who will go and who will stay.\nAs stated on the Mars One website, this is most definitely \"The Next Giant Leap For Mankind\". The first chosen applicants will leave Earth for their new life on Mars in 2024 and will never step foot on Earth again for the rest of their lives. Their purpose will be to colonize the Red Planet, living in inflatable homes that claim to be quite spacious, including bedrooms, working areas and a plant production unit.\nThis is like something straight out of the movies, immediately springing to mind is the film Interstellar which scientists have deemed to be a very accurate film in many ways, but this is no movie, this is reality and will be happening within our lifetime.\nIf I had of known about the project back in 2013 there is no doubt in my mind that I would of applied, the thought of being one of the first people to inhabit Mars with the aim of building a human colony has some ring to it! For now, applications are closed, but I still dropped them an email on the off chance.\nI am really looking forward to following the progress of Mars One and watching them make history in ten years when they take their amazing journey into the unknown. I will continue to keep you updated with the progress of the project, but for now you can check out the videos shared below.",

Canada (859,000 visitors), Germany (706,000 visitors), Brazil (622,000), Taiwan (515,000 visitors), France (498,000 visitors), Turkey (373,000 visitors) and Spain (365,000 visitors) made up the remaining top ten countries.\nComScore speculated about whether or not the social network was the fastest growing site in history, writing that, \"It would be difficult to think of many sites that reached such a large number in such a short period of time. That said, Google does have a built-in visitor base of more than 1 billion to work with, so there is clearly potential to convert a high number of users to its new social tool -- even if it is still invite-only.\"\nLipsman noted that \"these data are based on unique visitors (which is different than 'users' in that people who never sign up may visit Google+ pages) from home and work computers (which excludes usage via mobile devices).\"\nWhile Google+ has grown from strength to strength over the last couple of weeks, 750-million strong Facebook has been plagued by a never-ending onslaught of video scams and privacy misdemeanors.\nGoogle+ is not without its own faults, however, and has recently come under fire for suspending the Google accounts of people who don't use their real names within the social network.\nTechFond - Latest Technology | Analysis | Enterprise | Startups | Product Reviews | How Tos: India second biggest user of increasingly international social network Google+\nhttp://1.bp.blogspot.com/-v9-VTMBavjo/Ti5ATea6MTI/AAAAAAAAAwc/OEIL1nhP6ts/s1600/google-plus-logo.gif\nhttp://1.bp.blogspot.com/-v9-VTMBavjo/Ti5ATea6MTI/AAAAAAAAAwc/OEIL1nhP6ts/s72-c/google-plus-logo.gif\nhttps://www.techfond.in/2011/07/india-second-biggest-user-of.html",

Sony's PS3 Slim is out next month, with a 120GB hard drive and a \u00a3250 price tag.\n\"Today is the day we introduce the PS3 Slim, available in stores from the first week of September,\" said President and CEO of SCE Kaz Hirai.\nSpecs and size? The PS3 Slim will ship with a 120GB hard drive, as expected and is 32 per cent smaller, 36 per cent lighter, with 34 per cent less power consumption.\n\"The internal design architecture of the new PS3 system, from the main semiconductors and power supply unit to the cooling mechanism, has been completely redesigned, achieving a much slimmer and lighter body,\" Sony has announced.\nSLIM PS3 BREAKS COVER: Sony releases press pics of the old PS3 model against the new PS3 Slim\n\"Compared to the very first PS3 model with 60GB HDD, the internal volume as well as its thickness and weight are trimmed down to approximately two-thirds. Furthermore, power consumption is also cut to two-thirds, helping to reduce fan noise.\n\"While inheriting the sleek curved body design of the original model, the form factor of the new PS3 system features a new meticulous design with textured surface finish, giving an all new impression and a casual look. With the compact body and casual appearance, the newly introduced model will appeal to a wider audience who are looking to buy the best entertainment system for their home.\"\nIn other news, the much-hyped PS3 'Wand' Motion Controller will be shown off at the Tokyo Game Show next month - with Sony clearly having to hold something back for its legions of fans back home.\nKaz Hirai noted that while Tokyo will be about motion control, it was PlayStation 3's \"shape and form\" he was here to talk to us about today.\nSony considers the Cologne event to be the third major date on Sony's annual gaming calendar (following E3 in June and TGS in September).\n\"It brings the world media together with hundreds of thousands of consumers,\" Hirai said of the Cologne-based GamesCom event.\nNew features of the PS3 Slim include:\nPS3 system software update version 3.00 - The PS3's system software will be upgraded to version 3.00 on September 1, with the new update adding various user-friendly features such as the \"What's New\" screen, where users can quickly browse the new items available in PlayStation Store as well as their recently played games directly on the XMB (XrossMediaBar), with short cuts to each piece of content.\nBravia Sync Feature - The new PS3 system is also equipped with the Bravia Sync feature - by connecting the new PS3 system and a Bravia TV with the HDMI cable, users are able to directly operate the XMB on PS3 using their TV remote control. .\nA \"Vertical Stand\" for the new PS3 Slim - a separately sold \"Vertical Stand\" will allow users to set the PS3 Slim in a vertical position, making it easier to place the PS3 system anywhere at home (will become available in Japan on September 3, 2009, at a RRP of 2,000 yen (including tax) and in North America at US$24.)\nThe removal of \"Install Other OS\" feature - the new PS3 system will focus on delivering games and other entertainment content, and users will not be able to install other Operating Systems to the new PS3 system.\nSo, looks like that's it for Linux on the Slim PS3 then!\nIn order to WIN yourself a PS3 Slim, head over to TechRadar's PS3 Slim and Batman: Arkham Asylum competition right now!",

        "raw_content": "TomTom One v4 review\nTomTom's no-frills sat-nav device offers all you'll ever need, but it doesn't come cheap\nBy Michael Browne 2009-05-28T09:30:00.147Z Tom Tom, GPS and Sat Nav\nA fantastic design and great software make this a very appealing sat-nav for the entry user. It's just a shame the extra features are subscription based\nGood route mapping\nNice caddy\nNo lane guidance\nSpeed cameras subscription only\nTomTom's One v4 is the company's entry-level sat nav device, shunning such features as Bluetooth or real-time traffic updates in order to keep the price down.\nThat said, it's still one of the most expensive entry-level units we've seen. Unlike some of its budget rivals, however, corners haven't been cut on quality. The plastics are tough and the device is compact, making it feel every bit as strong as units costing twice as much.\nThe square 3.5-inch touchscreen display is a lot smaller than you'll find on most of the latest sat-navs, but we didn't find this to be an issue. The Tele Atlas mapping is the same as you'll find on more expensive models, with a colourful and clear, if slightly simple-looking, design.\nThe intuitive, finger-friendly menus we've come to expect from TomTom are all present and correct, and offer excellent usability. It's easy to choose destinations from addresses, postcodes, towns and points of interest (POI), and you can also select from previous destinations.\nAlthough previous TomTom products featured the latest SiRFStar III chipset for the most accurate navigation, TomTom refused to confirm exactly which GPS chip this model uses.\nOnce locked on, however, the GPS chip had no trouble holding a signal throughout our test routes, and we found that our review unit was also quick to switch on for subsequent trips.\nRoutes proved accurate throughout and directions were easy to follow. That said, we did miss the company's latest lane-guidance software \u2013 a feature only available on more costly models.\nThe large speaker on the rear is more than loud enough, and automatically gets louder the faster you drive. Features include speed camera locations, although these won't be updated unless you opt for an annual subscription (\u00a320 inc. VAT).\nClip-on cradle\nOne of the most impressive features, which also distinguishes it from more expensive models, is the incredibly compact clip-on cradle to attach it to your car's window.\nSmaller than any other such cradle we've seen to date, it offers faultless usability, holding the One firmly in place as you drive. Folding flush against the rear of the device, it's also easy to take with you when you leave the car.\nYou'll also find an in-car charger that plugs into the bottom of the One via a mini-USB port. Battery life, at just over two hours, is enough for shorter journeys.\nOverall, it's refreshing to find a simple and easy-to-use device not laden down with features you'll never use. The compact size is ideal, and while this isn't the cheapest entry-level unit on the market, it's one of the best.\nBuy from our affiliates: Amazon UK | Play.com | Argos.co.uk",

News reporter on the receiving end of one of the most talked about interviews of New York Fashion Week, just gave us the scoop about her infamous Jim Carrey interview.\nICYMI, at the Harper's Bazaar ICONS party last Friday, Catt spoke to Jim, who gave a pretty bizarre monologue in which he stated that everything there was \"meaningless\" and that nobody really \"exists.\"\nTeen Vogue fashion editor Jessica Andrews did an exclusive interview with Catt, in which she asked the favorite and standout interviews of her career.\n\"It's a funny because there's a difference between favorite, and standout,\" she began. \"Meryl Streep I grew up loving and idolizing... when I first interviewed her here in New York City, maybe 5 or 6 years ago, for a movie she did called 'The Iron Lady,' when she portrayed Margaret Thacher, and I got a solid 10 minute sit down with my idol... that was a pivotal career moment. She was so smart and gracious and lovely, so that was one of my favorite interviews.\"\n\"Standout? May have just happened 3 days ago,\" she elaborated. \"The Jim Carrey interview that everyone seems to be talking about \u2013 and when I say everybody, people have come out of the woodwork asking me about this interview. But that was definitely, that will be a 'most memorable' for me, for sure, because it was unexpected and out of nowhere, and that's not something you can prepare for. So definitely, Jim Carrey.\"\nJessica then asked what was going through her head at the time, to which she responded:\n\"You know, let me just say that, I enjoyed that. It was like a ride. Having been a reporter and a host for 20 years now, it's great to prepare, it's great to know your subject, it's great to know in advance the conversation you're going to have, but that's one of those moments you cannot prepare for at all.\"\n\"First of all, when's the last time you saw Jim Carrey at Fashion Week? I'm at this party, I'm in a party setting, we're talking couture gowns, and The Weeknd and Selena had just kissed on the carpet, but I see Jim barreling down the carpet by himself, and kind of acting goofy, and my first thought is: 'Oh, he's being a character for one of his movies. He's being crazy and outrageous and funny.' And our interview kind of started out that way, we were like dancing, and I was like 'Oh, hold on tight this is going to be interesting, but fun.'\"\nShe concluded: \"I did not expect him to kind of go off on this rant of sorts about the meaningless event, about the fact that we don't exist ... it was just unexpected. And I enjoyed it. I don't know him personally, so I don't know where all of that necessarily came from, but there you go.\"\nSo there you have it. It was absolutely a ride for all of us at home, too, but it's best to take the unexpected in stride, and try to make the best of it as you go. Catt certainly did!\nRelated: Gigi Hadid's Instagram Just Got Her in MAJOR Trouble\nKeywordscatt sadlerJessica AndrewsnyfwJim Carrey",

If you look at the deals they are offering, many of the products they have on sale are the same products most of us use on a daily basis in our office space. So why not take advantage of these end-of-summer sales for your business too?\nWhile office business centres like Telsec do not have end-of-summer sales, we often get a great deal of inquires from businesses looking to rent office space at the end of summer. This is partly due to the mindset of small business owners that with their kids going back to school, it is time for them to get back to work without the benefit of long weekends and holidays. This is also because many home-based business owners begin to realize that even with the kids in school, they need to work from an office that provides them with not only a prestigious business address, but also a professional working atmosphere.\nBusinesses of all sizes are changing in what types of office space arrangements they are looking for. Not as many businesses are looking at tradition raw office space, but they are looking at offices where they can be flexible with the number of employees they have in the office \u2013 and how many they can have working remotely even if it\u2019s only a few days a week. Not needing a dedicated desk for every employee, or not paying for unused boardrooms or meeting rooms, are just some of the reasons why businesses are taking a serious look at office business centres and the many inexpensive services they provide. They are also looking at the infrastructure costs that come with raw office space and realizing that the cost of owning or leasing office equipment like a telephone system or photocopiers are capital costs that tie up funds they could be using to promote and grow their businesses.\nAgain, while Telsec may not have any \u201cBack To School\u201d sales or introductory offers, our staff are willing to compete with written quotes from any other business centres. Our prices are no secret and we do not have any hidden fees \u2013 so call us today to arrange a tour.\nWhat is #HiddenCash?",

        "raw_content": "Software needs to be tested to ensure that it functions as required by the end-user. The software is fed with an input and the output is evaluated to check if it satisfies the functional requirements expected of it. Functional testing is done by evaluating each and every function that the software is supposed to perform one after the other.\nDifferent types or stages of functional testing include smoke testing, regression testing, system integration testing, usability testing. Smoke testing is a kind of preliminary testing to check if the software is fit for further testing. Regression testing is done to ensure that the software performs as expected after incorporating a change into its previous version. System Integration testing is done to check the compatibility of the software with other applications.\nUsability testing is concerned with how well the end user is finally able to use the system. The test is carried out on actual users. Popular functional testing tools available are Selenium, HP QTP, IBM RFT, and Cucumber. These tools offer different advantages for different use cases.\nManual testing of critical business test cases consumes a lot of time and money. In software testing, the same test suite needs to be executed repeatedly. Once all the test cases in a test suite are manually tested, the test suite can be recorded and the software testing can be performed repeatedly as required. Automation testing helps to reduce the number of test cases to be tested manually.\nSome test cases are not suitable for automated testing. These include those that have been newly designed and not tested manually at least once. Test cases whose functional requirements are not fixed and those that are executed for specific purposes cannot be automated.\nA well planned out automation testing strategy leads to effective implementation. Figuring out the right automation tools, determining tasks that are within and beyond the scope of automation, scheduling of scripting and execution, preparation of the testbed are the elements of a successful automated testing strategy.\nApart from ensuring that the software is functionally sound, its performance needs to be benchmarked against various parameters like scalability, reliability, response time and resource usage. TestLuas takes care of your Performance testing needs to ensure that the software performs reasonably well under the expected load.\nVarious kinds of performance testing are stress testing, soak testing, spike testing, configuration testing, isolation testing and internet testing. Load testing is the most basic form of performance testing. The behavior of a system is tested under a load. Stress testing is done to find the maximum load a system can withstand.\nSoak testing tests the endurance of a software under a continuous load. Spike testing tests the system\u2019s ability to handle sudden increases or decreases in the load. Configuration testing is more about how the system performs with alterations to its configuration than its performance under a given load.\nSecurity testing of a software application is done to ensure that there are no loopholes or vulnerabilities that may lead to malfunction. After security testing the application is expected to deliver on various parameters like confidentiality, integrity, authentication, availability, authorization, and non-repudiation.\nThe different aspects of security testing are vulnerability scanning, security scanning, penetration testing, risk assessment, security auditing, posture assessment and ethical hacking. Typical test scenarios include ensuring the password is encrypted, checking cookies and session time, ensuring that invalid users are not allowed and so on.\nPenetration testing involves checking a system\u2019s resilience to attack from an external hacker. In Risk Assessment, risks are classified as low medium and high in order to recommend proper controls and measures. Ethical hacking is done intentionally on the authorization of the organization to expose vulnerabilities in the system.\nSelenium is an open-source software-testing framework for web applications that can be used across various browsers. High level of experience and coding skills are required to implement Selenium Automation testing when compared to HP QTP and IBM RFT.\nThe Selenium suite comprises of Selenium Integrated Development Environment (IDE), Selenium Remote Control (RC), WebDriver and Selenium Grid. Selenium RC and WebDriver have been merged and offered as Selenium 2 with WebDriver as its core.\nOf the four, Selenium IDE is the simplest tool which can be used for prototyping. Selenium Remote Control was the first automated web testing tool that allowed programming in Java C# PHP Python Perl and Ruby. WebDriver is an improved version of RC which directly communicates with the browser without relying on JavaScript.\nWith the advent of DevOps software engineering culture which promotes a synergy between software development and IT operations, software is no longer tested after development. The software is tested continuously and simultaneously with development. This process is based on a philosophy of problem prevention instead of problem detection.\nThis entails continuous testing of software by automating each and every step in the process. With the advent of the DevOps cycle, QA teams have to ensure that their test cases are automated. The test environments have to be standardized and their deployment on QA boxes should also be automated. In order to be properly aligned with the Continuous Integration cycle, all the pre-testing and post-testing tasks have to be automated.\nWhen testing new features, the QA team can create test scripts and run the automation on interim builds until the code is good enough to be deployed. Executing tests in parallel reduces time-to-live. Before the code is deployed, critical bugs have to be fixed and passed through the chain of steps involved.\nSoftware applications must be tested against data that closely resembles the actual data that will be used. For this purpose, production data cannot be copied directly for testing owing to security and regulatory issues. Test data management utilizes data masking techniques to hide personally identifiable information from being visible to the development and testing teams. The data properties and formatting which are critical for testing are retained.\nAlso, different tests require different ways of test data generation. Test data can be derived from the examination of code in White Box testing. In the case of performance testing, since the goal is to check the speed of system response, it is advisable to use live data from customers. This data has to be anonymized.\nFor Black Box testing, system response has to be tested for different kinds of data sets. These include valid/invalid data, illegal data format, state transition test data, equivalence partition data, decision table data, decision table data, boundary condition data, use case test data and so on. Tools like GSapps can be used for automated test data generation for different use cases.\nThe Testing Center of Excellence\nTesting centers of excellence coordinate and control the QA efforts of an organization in order to make the entire quality assurance process more efficient, transparent and optimized towards the goals of the organization than the goals of individual departments.\nWith a testing center of excellence, testing time can be reduced without compromise on quality, the QA process can be standardized and kept up to date with industry trends. Available resources can be used more efficiently. TCoE speeds up the time to market.\nOne of the main functions of a TCoE is to establish a governance protocol to enable smoother information flows across departments. Defining an implementation roadmap of the testing strategy helps in smoother execution. All these measures reduce costs for an organization.",

        "raw_content": "Viewpoint: Due diligence in uncertain times\nWith an increasing number of sites available to ambitious restaurateurs, it\u2019s important to keep licensing issues front of mind says Luke Elford\nReaders will be familiar with the recent high-profile closures in the restaurant and retail sectors. The likes of Jamie\u2019s Italian, Carluccio\u2019s and Byron are proof of the real pressures on the high street. Given these issues, it is very likely that more sites will find their way onto the market during the rest of 2018 and beyond.\nWith an increased number of sites available, there is an opportunity for newcomers to move in or for existing brands to expand their portfolio. However, it is very much a case of \u201cbuyer beware\u201d \u2013 businesses must do their due diligence and make sure the venue is right for them and that they understand what they\u2019re taking on, so that the move works out in the long run.\nLicensing is one of the first considerations when assessing a potential site. The first thing to ascertain is whether the site already has a premises licence and what this says. It is also worth looking at the planning permission early on too. Caution needs to be exercised where the previous licence holder has become insolvent. The Licensing Act 2003 has strict rules about what happens to premises licences in the case of insolvency and if things haven\u2019t been done correctly, the new occupier could inadvertently buy unlicensed premises with potentially limited prospects of obtaining as generous a licence in the future.\nIf the site does benefit from a licence, consider whether there are any restrictions that would hamper the proposed use and if there are, what needs changing.\nBusinesses should also consider the site\u2019s location in the context of the local licensing policy. Every licensing authority in England and Wales has one and it governs the decision-making process with regards to new licences and variations to existing permissions. Some authorities have areas where they say the impact of licensed premises is such that they don\u2019t intend to grant further licences or certain types of licence. These policies are not absolute, but sites in these areas should be approached with significantly more caution and a preparedness to go all the way to a fully contested hearing, and possibly to the magistrates\u2019 court on appeal.\nThe local licensing policy may also give clues about the types of applications that are welcomed in a certain area. Any businesses embarking on something \u201cdifferent\u201d like the emerging \u201ccompetitive socialising\u201d market should speak to (at least) the licensing officer, the environmental health officer and the police to discuss the concept and proposals before submitting an application. They are valuable sources of information as to how things work in practice and whether there\u2019s anything in particular to look out for.\nIf a business is already in negotiations, it\u2019s important to consider \u201cwhat if\u201d scenarios like licensing and planning early on and to try to build those into any agreements.\nWith more sites likely to become available in the coming months, there are certainly rewards out there for those that are prepared to do their homework.\nLuke Elford is a solicitor in the licensing team at UK law firm TLT\nHotel Cateys 2018: Outstanding Contribut...\nHotel Cateys 2018: Sustainable Hotel of ...\nHotel Cateys 2018: Food and Beverage Man...\nHotel Cateys 2018: Hotelier of the Year ...",

        "raw_content": "Bernie Sanders Fans Think the Unthinkable: Voting for Hillary Clinton\nIt\u2019s official: He\u2019s done and she\u2019s the one, but that still hasn\u2019t persuaded many vocal supporters to vote Democratic in November.\nNicholas Kamm/AFP/Getty\nPHILADELPHIA \u2014 And just like that, the revolution was over.\nOn Tuesday, after each state, territory, and something called \u201cAmericans Abroad\u201d officially cast their votes at the Democratic National Convention and made Hillary Clinton the first woman to be nominated for president by a major party.\nAnd just as Clinton did for Barack Obama in 2008, Bernie Sanders cast the votes for his home state of Vermont and moved to suspend the rules of the convention, officially bringing the primary election to a close.\nBut his supporters weren\u2019t all on board. A few minutes after he spoke, hundreds of Sanders delegates marched out of the arena, through the crowded halls, and to the media tent, where they hosted a sit-in to protest a primary system they thought was rigged to nominate Clinton.\nOutside the media tent, protesters clamored for the cameras; some silently pressed signs against the glass as others staged impromptu press conferences. One man stood silently with his fist in the air and a black rag tied across his mouth.\n\u201cAre you doing interviews?\u201d one reporter asked.\nHe shook his head no.\nIn the throng of delegates milling about the exterior, some like Kansas delegate Chris Pumpelly, implored their comrades to accept their fate.\n\u201cIf you are standing against the party, you are standing with Donald Trump!\u201d he yelled., adding that those who didn\u2019t want to be at the Wells-Fargo center should go home. \u201cShame on them; they are minimizing the entire process.\u201d\nThey weren\u2019t the only Sanders backers who were far from ready to vote Clinton. In the arena, Louisiana delegate Ryan Trundle sported a button that read \u201cDNC GFY\u201d (go fuck yourself). He said he will not be voting for Clinton against Trump.\n\u201cShe just makes really bad decisions and people die all over the place,\u201d Trundle said.\nAnd the California delegation had no dearth of Bernie-related conflict, remaining heavily evacuated nearly a half-hour later. When DNC officials reserved the first few rows of seats for Democratic Party officials and insiders, including Rep. Nancy Pelosi, Attorney General Kamala Harris, and super-lawyer Gloria Allred, the Sanders supporters balked.\nHours before the roll call, a Clinton surrogate emailed her California delegates about a \u201cramped up whip operation\u201d the campaign would run on the floor of the convention hall. One Bernie delegate, 22-year-old Shawnee Badger, had a scuffle with one of those whips, when he pushed her off the ledge the group stood on when she tried to stand in front of them.\nJon Schnitzer, a Bernie delegate from California, said the incident underlined his worst fears about party leadership.\n\u201cLook, if you want to talk about love and unity and bringing people together\u2014we\u2019re the party for the environment, we\u2019re the party for the people, we\u2019re giving a voice for people who don\u2019t have a voice\u2014can we just do it?\u201d he said.\nOthers had reached the acceptance stage of grief. Kira Willig, a Sanders delegate from Florida, started to tear up when asked about voting for Clinton rather than Sanders.\n\u201cI love him so much,\u201d she wept.\nBut Florida is a swing state, she added, so she doesn\u2019t have the luxury of voting for anyone other than Clinton.\n\u201cI lived through the Bush presidency because of the protest votes for Nader,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd I am living through the Rick Scott nightmare because the Dems were apathetic about Charlie Crist.\u201d\n\u201cThis was a hard, hard road to take,\u201d she continued, choking up. \u201cBut when you say you\u2019ll do anything for Sen. Sanders and he asks you to do something that you think will be impossible\u2014you don\u2019t really mean it if you don\u2019t actually do it.\u201d\nThe Daily Beast spoke with other delegates who argued with each other in real time.\n\u201cEver since I\u2019ve been here, I\u2019ve been under immense pressure to show support for Hillary Clinton,\u201d said Angie Aker of Wisconsin. The moment she was done speaking, Pete Rickman, another Bernie delegate from the Badger State, said that was \u201cnonsense.\u201d\n\u201cThere\u2019s too much potential here to build the political revolution to be sidetracked by some who would elevate themselves above the broader whole,\u201d Rickman said. \u201cNearly all 49 of us\u2014we\u2019re following what Senator Sanders told us to do. He\u2019s been unequivocal. To carry forward the political revolution, to broaden it, to deepen it, and to move on his agenda, we need to work to elect Hillary Clinton. There\u2019s not Stop Trump period. There\u2019s Stop Trump comma elect Hillary Clinton.\u201d\nThat doesn\u2019t mean that they\u2019ll all be happy about it\u2014at least, not right now. That includes Lucy Flores, who nabbed a Bernie endorsement for her unsuccessful Democratic primary bid in Nevada\u2019s 4th Congressional district. She told The Daily Beast that she will vote for Clinton in the fall, but that she shares her fellow Sanders supporters\u2019 grief.\n\u201cI\u2019m a lot sadder than I thought I was going to be,\u201d she said.\n\u201cYou\u2019re going to have a certain amount of people who are going to come on over and support the secretary, and a certain amount of people who are going to take more convincing,\u201d she continued. \u201cAnd frankly I think that\u2019s okay in our democratic process. Every person who runs, no matter what, needs to earn every last vote.\u201d\nThe entire process was full of emotional moments. Sanders\u2019 brother, Larry who is a resident of Britain, choked up while reading Bernie\u2019s name for \u201cAmericans Abroad.\u201d Hillary Clinton\u2019s lifelong friend Betsy Ebeling also choked back emotion when she announced votes cast for her pal.\n\u201cThis one\u2019s for you, Hil,\u201d she said.\nAnd there were plenty of unifying moments, like when James Obergefell, the plaintiff in the Supreme Court case that made gay marriage the law of the land, was handed the microphone to announce Ohio\u2019s vote totals.\n\u201cLove trumps hate,\u201d he said, as the crowd roared.\nBernie\u2019s backers weren\u2019t all feeling particularly loving, but they\u2019re getting there.\nContributing: Patricia Murphy",

Now that she's top-dog, that doesn't matter to her Check out this story on thedailyjournal.com: http://vineland.dj/2oCC46E\nTaking over the roll of shortstop, Millville senior Caroline Kruger will look to lead the Thunderbolts through Group 4 in 2017.(Photo11: Justin Odendhal/Staff Photographer)Buy Photo\nFor the last three season\u2019s Caroline Kruger has been in the shadows.\nThe Millville High School softball player didn\u2019t let that bother her, though. She still showed up to work wanting to get better.\nShe didn\u2019t play with a chip on her shoulder. She didn\u2019t have any hard feelings. She just played her game.\nBack-to-back seasons of being one of the team\u2019s \u2013 if not the most \u2013 consistent bats showed fans, scouts and other coaches what she could do. It was up to them to take notice.\nKruger, entering her senior season, is finally out of the shadows cast by Kaila Smith and Kady Mae Makos.\nWhile Kruger\u2019s numbers may have been overlooked for the flashier names, there were never any bad feelings. While other players were getting named to All-Conference teams and All-Area teams, Kruger was still putting in the work and being a team player.\nShe still turned to Smith and Makos for guidance, lessons to be learned.\n\u201cI always looked up to Kaila and Kady Mae. I thought they were good role models and that have the attitude of a good, competitive softball player,\u201d she said. \u201cOne thing that I took from them is that sometimes a loss isn\u2019t always a bad thing. It helps you learn lessons and can help the team move forward and helps you fix problems that you need to set straight.\u201d\nBut now last year\u2019s heart-of-the-order hitters are off at college and it\u2019s up to Kruger to make her own mark.\nHowever, there\u2019s no added pressure on her to succeed.\n\u201cComing into the season she should just focus on staying with what she\u2019s been doing and not worrying about that type of thing,\u201d Thunderbolts coach Brooke Ewan-Dixon. \u201cJust go in there, hit the ball and make things happen.\u201d\n\u201cI don\u2019t really think about myself too much,\u201d Kruger said. \u201cI just think about what I can to get the team ahead as far as possible.\u201d\nIt she does anywhere near as well as she did in her junior campaign -- .443 batting average, 32 RBIs, four homers and a team-leading 35 hits \u2013 the Bolts should do alright.\nWhile she\u2019ll likely be the biggest bat in the lineup come opening day, she doesn\u2019t have to worry about impressing anyone anymore.\nThe titles, the awards, the honors. They\u2019re all second to what she was shooting for - playing in college.\nKruger will head to Sacred Heart University on a partial-athletic, partial-academic scholarship.\nIt\u2019s something that\u2019s allowed her to be more comfortable on the field.\n\u201cIt\u2019s a huge weight lifted off my shoulders to know that I have something set for after high school but at the same time it\u2019s motivation for me to be the best player I can be going in there as a freshman,\u201d she said.\nHer coach noticed, too.\n\u201cHonestly, the biggest thing for her was figuring out where she was going to college,\u201d Ewan-Dixon said. \u201cSo, I think that\u2019s a big relief for her so she can come right in.\u201d\nKruger is moving from second base to shortstop, a move more based on need, according to Ewan-Dixon.\nBut it won't be a big adjustment.\nThe senior has plenty of time at short with her travel squad.\nWith all the changes in her senior season, one thing has stayed the same: the double-zeroes on the back of Kruger\u2019s jersey.\n\u201cIt kind of just started when I was a kid, and I wanted to switch things up a bit,\u201d Kruger said of how the number came into effect.\nThe 00 came sometimes be an intimidation tactic by players.\n\u201cI hope to come off that way,\u201d Kruger said with a laugh.\nIf the number on the back of her jersey doesn\u2019t make opponents shake in their cleats a bit, her bat sure as heck will when she comes up to the plate.\nAnd she hopes to do as much damage as she can before her time in high school runs out.\n\u201cIt\u2019s hit me,\u201d she said of the fact that the end is approaching. \u201cIt\u2019s a little upsetting but I know there\u2019s something bigger out there in the future for me. \u201c",

        "raw_content": "Botswana bushmen: 'If you deny us the right to hunt, you are killing us'\nThe San people are reaching out to Prince Charles to help overturn new laws threatening their tribal culture\nBushman hunters in the Kalahari desert. Photograph: Jake Warga/Corbis\nIt costs \u00a3500 a night to stay in a luxury safari camp in the Kalahari desert in Botswana. For that price, wealthy tourists get drinks, game drives and, says one tour company, an \"interpretive Bushman walk with staff members who hail from the ancient Bushman clans of the area\". Visitors watch half-naked men shooting bows and arrows in the sand dunes and, if they get permission, can pay to shoot giraffe, zebra and other wildlife with guns.\nFor Jamunda Kakelebone, a 39-year-old bushman, or San, whose family has always lived as hunter gatherers, what is happening in the Kalahari desert is deeply disturbing. Not only have bushmen families like his been moved from their ancestral land to make way for tourists, diamond mining and fracking, he says, but those who remain are now no longer allowed to hunt.\nThe final blow came in January, when a ban came into effect prohibiting all hunting in the southern African country except on game farms or ranches. The new law \u2013 announced by the minister of wildlife, environment and tourism, Tshekedi Khama (brother of the president, Ian Khama) \u2013 effectively ends thousands of years of San culture.\nJamunda Kakelebone and British lawyer Gordon Bennett visit Clarence House with letter for Prince Charles. Photograph: Ik Aldama/Corbis\n\"We have survived for millennia in one of the world's driest areas but they treat us as stupid. We are hunter-gatherers yet we get arrested. We cannot damage the wildlife. If we kill one animal we eat it for a month. We are not allowed to hunt but others can,\" he told the Guardian.\nSan bushmen starting a fire in the Kalahari desert near Ghanzi, Botswana. Photograph: Alamy\nKakelebone has been London to petition Prince Charles and protest against the treatment of bushmen by the Botswana government. In a letter, he referred to the writer and conservationist Laurens van der Post, who invited the prince to the Kalahari to meet the bushmen in 1987.\n\"We have survived alongside the animals [there] since the beginning of time. We know how to look after them and we hunt them for our survival, not for entertainment like many tourists from your country do. We know that you walked with Laurens van der Post and the bushmen a long time ago. You know who we are. We are begging you to talk to president Khama and ask him to stop persecuting us,\" said the letter. Van der Post, who died in 1996, was also Prince William's godfather.\nA lone bushman on a red sand dune. Photograph: Jaco Wolmarans/Getty Images\nAfter visiting the bushmen, Charles wrote that they had greatly influenced his thinking about the environment. \"What I discovered was the profound and intuitive ties that bind the bushmen to their land; their awareness of the workings of the natural world and of the delicate balance between life, physical surroundings and inner spirituality that they had maintained for so long in the harshest of environments \u2026 The bushman is an innocent victim of what, far too glibly, too many of us would call 'progress'... We all lose if the bushman disappears.'\nBut it has emerged that he and Prince William may have unwittingly encouraged president Khama to stop the bushmen hunting. In January, Charles and William hosted an international meeting to draw attention to a crisis of illegal poaching of animals like elephants and rhino at Clarence House, Charles's London residence. With the UK government, the royals are said to have helped persuade 46 countries to take new initiatives.\nKhama, whose family owns a large tract of the Kalahari desert reserve and whose nephew has shares in one of the most expensive game lodges, was present at Clarence House in London and used the occasion to pledge to protect wildlife.\n\"Our president is doing this because he is interested in tourism. His family is making money out of this,\" says Kakelebone. \"My people do not know anything about this ban on hunting. We are not going to stop hunting. My fear now is that they will arrest us and use the ban to put us in prison and drive us out of our homeland. The government is not telling people about this. We think they want a pretext to arrest us drive us out,\" said Kakelebone.\nIn a series of evictions after 2002, the Botswana government removed several thousand San from the Kalahari reserve, claiming they were a drain on Botswana's financial resources and that the families were happy to give up their hunter-gathering. But, say human rights groups like Survival International, the evictions were intended to allow in conservation groups, tourist companies and diamond mining.\nAround 350-400 San people now live in seven \"settlements\" in and outside the game reserve, many of which are in appalling conditions. \"Instead of being allowed to hunt, we are taken to resettlement camps and must depend on government for handouts. It's like holding your arms and expecting to be fed. They treat us as stupid. We are given clothes and food.\n\"They are destroying us, and the reserve and are saying we cannot go there. It's racial discrimination. They look down on us. They say 'they are only bushmen'. They say we are primitive and that elephants are better than us. They give us pounded sorghum, beans and sugar. They give us no meat at all. They want to change us to become pastoralists. When they remove is from the reserve they give us a few acres and cows and tell us to plough. It is totally changing us and our culture\", said Kakelebone.\nThe Botswana government has long maintained that the San families chose to move but this was rejected by the Botswana courts in 2006 which ruled that the Bushmen had been forcibly and unconstitutionally removed. But the government interpreted this to mean that only the people who were part of the case had the right to return. In 2008, the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) criticised Botswana's government for not allowing certain San to return.\n\"My son is not allowed to stay in the reserve if he is over 18. He must apply for a one-month permit. This is systematic persecution. My grandfather used to tell me that he had nothing to give but the land. 'That is your heritage,' he said. If you take it you are killing us. If you deny us the right to hunt, you are killing us\".\n\"Our death rate is increasing. They want to develop us. To eradicate us. They want us to speak English. I do not think they see us as people (because) they need to but they think that we are just trees or stones. They build us a clinic but our people die of HIV and TB. When we were on our own, our death rate was low. Old people died of age. Now we go to funerals. It's terrifying. In 20 years its going to be bye bye bushmen.\"\nA spokesman for Prince Charles declined to comment.\nTrouble in paradise for Botswana's democratic credentials\nA history of social work in Botswana \u2013 and why the future looks bleak\nKgomotso Jongman, president, Botswana National Association of Social Workers\nRhinos to be moved from South Africa to Botswana in anti-poaching drive",

        "raw_content": "Files will shed light on a JFK shooting conspiracy \u2013 but not the one you think\nThe National Archives are releasing tens of thousands of documents linked to Kennedy\u2019s assassination \u2013 expect evidence of institutions covering their backs\nPresident John F Kennedy, First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy, and the Texas governor, John Connally, ride through the streets of Dallas on 22 November. Photograph: Historical/Corbis via Getty Images\nIn the persistent, probably eternal whirlwind of conspiracy theories about the November 1963 assassination of President John F Kennedy, there is one conspiracy theory that is no longer just a theory \u2013 and hasn\u2019t been for years.\nThat wide-ranging conspiracy was for real. And proof of its existence will almost certainly grow more solid on Thursday with the imminent release of tens of thousands of pages of long-classified, assassination-related documents from the National Archives \u2013 supposedly the last of the government\u2019s secret files on Kennedy\u2019s murder.\nJFK's assassination\nPresident John F Kennedy is shot dead by a sniper while his motorcade moved through Dallas. Lee Harvey Oswald, a former US marine and Soviet defector, is arrested.\nOswald is shot dead by a Dallas nightclub owner, Jack Ruby.\nThe newly sworn in president, Lyndon Johnson, orders an investigation of the assassination, named after its leader, chief justice Earl Warren.\nThe Warren Commission determines that Oswald acted alone, without help from Cuba or Russia. The panel also finds that Ruby acted alone.\nA new investigation by four medical experts reaffirms the commission's finding that two bullets killed Kennedy from behind.\nClay Shaw, a New Orleans businessman, is acquitted of charges of conspiracy in Kennedy's murder, after 50 minutes of deliberation. He is the only person prosecuted over the assassination.\nAfter two years of investigation, a House committee accuses previous investigators of failing to explore sufficient leads. The panel found it \"likely\" that conspiracies were behind Kennedy's murder, including a possible second gunman on \"the grassy knoll\" in Dallas. The committee also believed organized crime was \"probably\" involved.\nOliver Stone premieres JFK, his film about the Shaw trial and the possibility of a CIA conspiracy, motivated in part to keep the US in Vietnam. A few months later, Seinfeld parodies the elaborate conspiracy theorizing around the Zapruder film and \"magic bullet\" theory.\nCongress enacts the JFK Records Collection Act and orders the release of 3,100 secret documents in an attempt to quash conspiracy theories. The documents are ordered released with a 25-year deadline.\nDonald Trump accuses the father of Ted Cruz of involvement in the assassination. He cites the National Enquirer, a tabloid, as his source.\nWhat conspiracy? Not one involving a second assassin in Dealey Plaza. (All of the most credible evidence continues to point to Lee Harvey Oswald as the lone gunman in Dallas.) Not some sort of mafia plot that resulted in the silencing of Oswald two days later by Dallas strip-club impresario Jack Ruby. (Really, what half-way competent Mob boss would choose a delusional blabbermouth like Ruby to carry out a second Crime of the Century by murdering Oswald?) Not a sprawling coup d\u2019\u00e9tat involving everyone from President Lyndon Johnson to the Pentagon architects of the Vietnam war to a cabal of gay rightwingers in New Orleans. (See Oliver Stone\u2019s hit 1991 film JFK.)\nI\u2019m referring to the well-documented, proven conspiracy within the highest reaches of the US government \u2013 a criminal conspiracy from the start, involving the destruction of top-secret documents and photographs, the silencing of witnesses and whistleblowers, and the wholesale suborning of perjury \u2013 to cover up the truth about what the government had known in advance about Oswald and the clear threat he had posed to one man: President Kennedy.\nThe word \u201ccover-up\u201d is not hyperbole. Remarkably enough, it is the word that the CIA itself applies to what happened immediately after the assassination. In a once-classified internal report that became public in 2014, the spy agency\u2019s in-house historian acknowledged that the CIA had engaged in a \u201ccover-up\u201d (albeit a \u201cbenign cover-up\u201d, he insisted) to hide evidence from the Warren commission and later government investigations. The cover-up was intended to keep investigators focused exclusively on evidence that proved \u201cwhat the Agency believed at the time was the \u2018best truth\u2019 \u2013 that Lee Harvey Oswald, for as yet undetermined motives, had acted alone in killing Kennedy\u201d.\nI certainly don\u2019t see the cover-up as benign. And in conspiring to hide evidence of their bungling before the assassination \u2013 a conspiracy exposed document by document over the last half-century \u2013 the CIA and FBI helped launch the much larger wave of conspiracy theories that followed and are likely to plague us forever. Since the late 1960s, opinion polls have shown consistently that a majority of the American people are convinced that the government has never told them the full truth about the murder of their president. And their skepticism, the evidence shows, has always been justified.\nAfter falling down the rabbit hole of the national debate over the Kennedy assassination \u2013 my first book was a history of the 9/11 commission, so I made the grievous mistake of thinking it would be easy to follow up by writing a similar history of the Warren commission \u2013 I was saddened and surprised by a central conclusion that I reached by the end of my research: the Kennedy assassination did not have to happen. It could have been prevented \u2013 easily \u2013 if the CIA and FBI had just acted on the intelligence in their own files in November 1963. Yes, Oswald was a violent, delusional misfit. But he was not the pure \u201clone wolf\u201d portrayed by the initial government accounts of the assassination \u2013 the image that the government was desperate to present after Kennedy\u2019s murder, since it suggested nothing could have been done to stop him.\nThe bipartisan Warren commission investigated but faced obstruction from the CIA and FBI. Photograph: AP\nIn fact, both the CIA and FBI had Oswald under aggressive surveillance in the months before the assassination \u2013 and knew he was talking to people who, at the height of the cold war, might also have wanted to see Kennedy dead.\nBoth agencies had strong reason to believe that Oswald, a self-proclaimed Marxist who had years of rifle practice in the Marine Corps, would be a danger when Kennedy\u2019s motorcade passed through Dallas on 22 November 1963. In what I believe was a horrifying coincidence, Oswald had just begun a new job as a laborer in a book warehouse that overlooked Dealey Plaza \u2013 the Texas School Book Depository.\nThe evidence gathered by the CIA and FBI before the assassination about Oswald should have put his name in \u201cred lights\u201d as a threat to Kennedy, former FBI director Clarence Kelley admitted reluctantly after his retirement. If the FBI had just acted on the information, he wrote in his own memoirs in 1987, \u201cwithout doubt JFK would not have died in Dallas and history would have taken a different turn\u201d.\nInstead, immediately after the assassination, panicked officials at both the CIA and FBI tried, desperately, to cover up evidence of the extent of their knowledge of Oswald, fearing their bungling of the intelligence about JFK\u2019s assassin might be exposed \u2013 and that they would be blamed for the president\u2019s murder.\nAll of which brings us to today. It is no surprise that the CIA and FBI are, ultimately, the source of most of tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of pages, of classified documents that are scheduled to be released by the National Archives on Thursday.\nFrom the bare-bones index of the documents provided by the archives, many of the 3,100 never-before-seen files will reveal new details about the extent of the voluminous information that the CIA and FBI gathered about Oswald in the months and years before Kennedy\u2019s death; previously declassified CIA documents show the agency was monitoring Oswald as early as 1959, the year he tried to defect to Moscow.\nThis week\u2019s massive government document dump, which Donald Trump has said he does not intend to block unless he sees \u201ccompelling and clear\u201d last-minute proof that some documents could damage national security, fulfills a deadline established under a 1992 law passed by Congress to try to stem conspiracy theories about the Kennedy assassination.\nThe authors of the 1992 JFK Assassination Records Collection Act said they were alarmed, in particular, by the cloud of suspicion kicked up by Stone\u2019s film, which was released the year before. Under the law, all government files related to the assassination must be released, in full, within 25 years of the law\u2019s passage \u2013 a deadline reached this Thursday, 26 October.\nMany historians and researchers, including this one, will be most intrigued to see the still-secret files that, according to the Archives index, are related to an event that was the focus of so much of the cover-up by the CIA and FBI \u2013 Oswald\u2019s six-day trip to Mexico City just weeks before the assassination. He had apparently gone there to try to obtain a visa to defect to Cuba.\nImmediately after the assassination, the CIA and FBI acknowledged they had been aware that Oswald had visited the Cuban and Soviet embassies in Mexico. But the agencies insisted they had no information to suggest that Oswald had done anything in Mexico to hint that a plot to kill Kennedy had been hatched there \u2013 or anywhere else.\nLee Harvey Oswald sits in police custody shortly after being arrested for assassinating President John F Kennedy. Photograph: AP\nBut declassified files from both agencies would become public years later that showed that, during the trip, Oswald met in Mexico with Cuban and Soviet spies, including \u2013 incredibly enough \u2013 a KGB assassinations expert. He appears to have had a brief affair with a Mexican woman employed at the Cuban consulate there.\nAnother document declassified in the 1990s: a top-secret June 1964 FBI memo prepared by its director, J Edgar Hoover, for the Warren commission that revealed that Oswald had apparently spoken openly in Mexico City of his intention to kill Kennedy.\nIn what appears to be another, particularly brazen part of the cover-up, that memo appears never to have reached the commission. While Hoover\u2019s memo eventually appeared in the panel\u2019s digital records at the National Archives, surviving commission staff lawyers told me for my book they never saw it during the commission\u2019s investigation in 1964. They said they would have remembered such a \u201cbombshell\u201d document, and it would have prompted an urgent investigation in Mexico to determine who else heard Oswald talk about killing Kennedy \u2013 and if anyone there had offered to help.\nIn Dallas, the FBI cover-up began the weekend after the president\u2019s death. The first act came on Sunday 24 November, the day Ruby gunned down Oswald at Dallas police headquarters, when an FBI agent in the bureau\u2019s field office across town was ordered to destroy a threatening handwritten note that Oswald had hand-delivered to the office earlier that month \u2013 apparently a protest over the FBI\u2019s aggressive surveillance of his family.\nWhat did Oswald write in the note? We\u2019ll never know, because the agent took the note into the men\u2019s room, tore it into pieces and flushed it down the toilet. Years later, the agent admitted to congressional investigators that he and his supervisor had panicked at the thought that the note would been seen as proof that that the FBI had botched the opportunity to save the president\u2019s life.\n\u2022 Philip Shenon, a former Washington and foreign correspondent for the New York Times, is the author of A Cruel and Shocking Act: The Secret History of the Kennedy Assassination\n\u2022 We\u2019d like your help.

        "raw_content": "Westover Inns is a family-owned company with six hotels in Western Oregon. The small chain\nincludes two Cannon Beach hotels, three in Lincoln City and one in the Portland suburb Lake Oswego.\nThe Lakeshore Inn in Lake Oswego was the first hotel in this group. As the first one it holds a special place in the owner's hearts. It has been owned by the same family for over 40 years. The Lakeshore has a one of a kind location overlooking Oswego lake next door to two wonderful parks, and Lake View Village with wonderful restaurants and shopping.\nIn the late 80's Schooner's Cove Inn became the first Cannon Beach hotel. It is the only one of the six to be designed and built by Westover Inns. When staying here guests enjoy the fantastic oceanfront views, decks, gas fireplaces, beachfront lawn, oceanfront hot tub and the ideal downtown location.\nJump ahead five years to 1993 when Pelican Shores Inn in Lincoln City became a Westover Inns property. This property was a wonderful fit for the group. Over the years the property has been remodeled twice with the largest remodel in 2016. The hotel has some of the best oceanfront views in Lincoln City.\nLooking Glass Inn in Lincoln City was the second Lincoln City location for Westover Inns and the first dog friendly hotel. The owners have always loved dogs and it seemed time to have a hotel that accepts them. It is located in a wonderful spot at the Southern end of town in the Taft District with easy access to Siletz Bay and the Pacific Ocean.\nIn 2011 Westover Inns decided to add a second Cannon Beach location The Wayside Inn. This became the Cannon Beach dog friendly hotel. The hotel has delightful ocean views, gas fireplaces, decks, indoor pool and hot tub. The hotel's location across from Tolovana Park provides easy access to miles of beach and Haystack Rock. Watch for the bunnies when staying at this location. There are many that wild ones that live near the hotel.\nThe last inn to join this family of hotels was Shearwater Inn in Lincoln City in 2012. This hotel is where casual Lincoln City meets some city flair. Guest's will enjoy the spacious rooms and suites all with king beds, ocean views, decks, gas fireplaces and hot tub. At this property you'll start each morning with a continental breakfast brought to your room at a time you choose, and every evening socialize in our lobby during the nightly wine social.\n| 503-636-9679 | MAKE RESERVATIONS",

        "raw_content": "Far from the media spotlight, innovation in education is going on in unexpected places.\nExperimenting With iSchools\nWhen New York City educators Alisa Berger and Mary Moss were developing their new school, they knew they wanted to integrate online instruction into the traditional classroom setting. But they were blown away by the poor quality of existing Internet-based learning programs.\nSo they built their own, cobbling together off-the-shelf lesson plans and homegrown projects into a comprehensive online curriculum.\nTwo years later, Berger and Moss\u2019s high school, the iSchool, is the crown jewel in New York\u2019s new \"Innovation Zone,\" or iZone. iSchool students download assignments their teachers have uploaded to the Internet, and even when they\u2019re in the same classroom as their teacher, they\u2019re frequently plugged into the web. When the National September\u200511 Memorial & Museum asked iSchool students to create an exhibit for teenagers, for example, the students produced audio based on interviews with teens in Afghanistan, Israel, England and Louisiana.\nNew York is counting on the iSchool\u2019s approach as one way to boost student achievement.\n\"A lot of kids struggle in school because the school is not teaching them where they are,\" says Berger. \"Technology allows us to do exactly that.\"\nThis fall eighty-one schools, mostly in low-income neighborhoods, will launch programs that blend online and real-time instruction, and the city will begin a randomized study of a subset of these schools to see which helps students advance fastest.\nDistrict officials see promise not just for the high-performing high school students the iSchool enrolls but also for struggling students in elementary and middle grades. The new technology speeds up the process of instruction, practice and assessment from several days to a few minutes\u2014keeping easily bored students engaged, officials say. With students working on computers, teachers can administer a quiz, then follow up instantly with one assignment for students who struggled and another, more complex task for those who aced it. The technology also lets teachers customize assignments based on students\u2019 needs without the stigmatizing effect of dividing a class into groups by ability.\nGood teachers have always differentiated instruction, says John White, New York\u2019s deputy chancellor for innovation. But doing it well takes superhuman quantities of time, effort and information, making it a struggle for even master teachers, much less novices juggling 125 students with a wide range of abilities.\nCritics charge that moving instruction online reduces the teacher to an automaton and deprives students of human contact. But using technology as a support system doesn\u2019t take away from the craft of teaching, argues Yosi Ben-Dov, who runs Time To Know, an Israeli company participating in New York City\u2019s pilot. Time To Know allows teachers to compile lessons from a menu of options, and intrepid teachers can upload plans of their own for others to use.\n\"We\u2019re not trying to replace the teacher,\" Ben-Dov says. \"We\u2019re trying to empower her\u2026. Our belief is that computers can help the teacher do her job better.\" The innovations all come with a price tag, but the program\u2019s supporters believe the cost is worth it.\n\"The fundamental question is, Are we going to continue to do things the way we\u2019ve always done them, or are we making decisions to accelerate learning?\" says White. \"There\u2019s an enormous amount of invention and creativity in our school system, and it\u2019s imperative that we harness that.\"\nHelping Students to Think\u2014and Act\u2014Locally\nLawrence Barnes Elementary School had been sitting near the bottom of Vermont\u2019s school rankings for years. Enrolling many recent immigrants, the Burlington school posted low test scores and used a curriculum that bored students.\nThen the school reached out to Shelburne Farms. Over six years the nonprofit farm and education center helped Lawrence Barnes remake itself around the theme of sustainability. Doing so meant more than just teaching about environmental issues or encouraging students to recycle, says Matt Dubel, who heads Shelburne Farms\u2019 Sustainable Schools Project. It meant fundamentally reorienting teaching and learning at Lawrence Barnes around the idea that the school is part of a local ecosystem\u2014political, economic and, yes, environmental\u2014that students can influence.\nNow, instead of writing five-paragraph persuasive essays that only their teachers read, students identify problems in their community\u2014and appeal to Burlington officials to make changes. They\u2019ve had success: a neighborhood guide for new immigrants written by third graders is now distributed to all refugees who arrive in Vermont. Test scores are up, there\u2019s a waiting list to enroll and this past August, Lawrence Barnes became a full-fledged sustainability-themed magnet school\u2014according to Shelburne Farms, the first in the nation.\nLawrence Barnes\u2019s transformation happened without a single teacher being fired. Instead, the achievement boost followed naturally once teachers united around a shared purpose and students got hooked on the local focus, according to Dubel.\n\"We lose a lot of learners because they\u2019re disengaged, and they\u2019re disengaged because school doesn\u2019t seem to have anything to do with life,\" he says. \"If we really connect academic learning with the life of the community\u2014nearby, outside the doors\u2014we connect academic learning to something that\u2019s relevant and meaningful to students.\"\nA small but growing group of environment-oriented educators is pushing this vision in schools across the country. Some, such as Seattle\u2019s Facing the Future and the New York\u2013based Cloud Institute, produce sustainability-infused curriculum materials. Others, such as California\u2019s Green Schools Initiative, train teachers about how to work sustainability into their lessons. Berkeley\u2019s Center for Ecoliteracy last year released Smart by Nature: Schooling for Sustainability, a guidebook to more than a dozen exemplary programs, including Lawrence Barnes.\n\"What we wanted to do [with Smart by Nature] was to reinforce how much creativity and innovation is occurring across the country,\" says Zenobia Barlow, the center\u2019s co-founder and executive director.\nWhile some schools start by writing sustainability into their mission statements, others don\u2019t have to do it that way, Barlow says. \"Sometimes it can start with one school garden, with one teacher,\" she says. \"There\u2019s no one right way.\"\nA handful of small-scale studies support the idea that a sustainability focus can turn schools around, but for now most of the evidence comes from stories like Lawrence Barnes\u2019s. That could soon change: through the national Place-Based Education Evaluation Collaborative, dozens of schools are teaming up to evaluate their own progress. Proponents of sustainability-focused schools say they expect favorable results because the movement rests on firm pedagogical footing.\n\"Schools are the ecosystems where our children live, where they spend most of their waking hours,\" says Deborah Moore of the Green Schools Initiative. \"Using the school campus as a learning tool is developmentally appropriate for a lot of ages.\"\n\"You can do exemplary instruction in literacy and math and science and social studies, but when we help students integrate and apply those skills, we help them build better models of how the world works,\" says Dubel. \"The more the disciplines come together, the better the learning.\"\nTeachers\u2019 Last Stand\u2014or a New Start?\nSome see the Obama administration\u2019s education policies as forcing a \"last stand\" for teachers\u2019 unions. But what if they augur a new beginning?\nAs a requirement to win its $4.3 billion Race to the Top, the administration wants states to be able to judge teachers in part according to their students\u2019 test scores. Some advocates of accountability contend that at least half of a teacher\u2019s evaluation should depend on test scores. Teachers whose students don\u2019t measure up ought to be fired, they argue, and unions exacerbate the problem by protecting weak teachers.\nAlthough it\u2019s true that unions are pushing back against the idea that standardized test scores can adequately measure a teacher\u2019s effectiveness, they\u2019re also not defending the way teacher evaluations have long been done. In many districts, teachers are judged according to a single observation, often by an administrator who lacks expertise in the subject. Instead, forward-thinking unions from Rhode Island to Los Angeles are seizing the moment to push for more comprehensive evaluations that allow teachers a hand in the process. Some of them are even willing to stake tenured teachers\u2019 jobs on the outcomes.\nThe movement isn\u2019t new, but its proponents say it has quickened because of the Obama administration\u2019s policy priorities.\n\"It\u2019s certainly forcing us to look at our work and start assessing it differently,\" says Mary McDonald, who works for the Illinois nonprofit Consortium for Educational Change. \"They\u2019ve got our attention.\"\nMany teachers have long believed that their unions should make improved student achievement a primary goal. More than a decade ago Adam Urbanski, a vice president of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and then as now president of the union in Rochester, New York, founded the Teachers Union Reform Network (TURN) to promote that view. \"A lot of the unions are getting on the train for the right reasons,\" Urbanski says. \"They know that their presence in these deliberations will help to make the final outcome much more realistic and much better for teaching and learning.\"\nMembership in TURN\u2019s most robust subgroup, in the Great Lakes region, has jumped from about thirty, two years ago, to about 200 this spring, according to McDonald, an active member, and union members have reached out to district administrators to promote collaboration. Labor-management collaboration is a hallmark of \"peer assistance and review,\" one approach to improving teacher quality that unions embrace. Launched nearly three decades ago by union leaders in Toledo, Ohio, peer assistance and review connects new teachers and struggling teachers with \"consulting teachers\" who help them improve. The mentoring process can result in dismissal for tenured teachers who don\u2019t get better over time.\nThe model, which is almost always initiated by a union leader and negotiated in side agreements to union contracts, can be effective at helping weak teachers improve, enticing good teachers to stay in the profession and moving the most ineffective teachers out of the classroom, according to Susan Moore Johnson, a Harvard professor who has studied it.\n\"What\u2019s happening as the policy context changes and demands for better assessments increase is that some of these local unions are recognizing that they have to become very involved in developing a teacher evaluation system that works,\" she says. \"They know they have to take part in that before these decisions about re-employment are made simply by test score data or administrative judgment.\"\nThe AFT, one of the two national teachers\u2019 unions, launched an \"innovation fund\" last year, with Urbanski at the helm, to encourage local unions to develop school reform initiatives. Among the fund\u2019s first recipients: New York\u2019s and Rhode Island\u2019s teachers\u2019 unions, which plan to build a peer assistance program together. They\u2019ll have an advantage over other districts that, until recently, have developed and implemented peer assistance and review programs in a vacuum, McDonald says.\n\"We realize there\u2019s quite a bit that we can learn from each other,\" she says.\nPeer assistance and review has started to pop up in some high-profile places, such as in the new teachers\u2019 contract for New Haven, Connecticut, which drew praise from Education Secretary Arne Duncan and AFT president Randi Weingarten. But the model mostly continues to fly under the radar, in part, Johnson says, because it doesn\u2019t offer a quick fix for the thorny issue of teacher quality.\n\"It\u2019s not like doing a statistical analysis of student test scores and making a decision,\" Johnson says. \"It requires a great deal of human investment\u2026. But although the costs look like they\u2019re substantial in the beginning, actually according to administrators the programs do pay for themselves.\"\nPhilissa CramerPhilissa Cramer is associate editor of GothamSchools.org.",

        "title": "The Renunciation Artist: On Leo Tolstoy | The Nation",
        "raw_content": "The Renunciation Artist: On Leo Tolstoy\nThe axis of moral struggle, a stroke of salvation--these are the spiritual dimensions of Tolstoy's late fiction.\nA Russian soldier is taken prisoner by Caucasian mountaineers. They bring him to a village, where everything is strange. \"And the dark one\u2013he was brisk, lively, moving as if on springs\u2013went straight up to Zhilin, squatted down, bared his teeth, patted him on the shoulder, started jabbering something very quickly in his own language, winked, clucked his tongue, and kept repeating: \u2018Kood uruss! Kood uruss!\u2019\" But slowly, the Russian starts to get through. He makes a friend of the dark one\u2019s daughter, a girl of 13, by fashioning a doll of clay. It has \"a nose, arms, legs, and a Tartar shirt.\" She brings him food, talks, plays with him. Later, surveying the hills in search of escape, he sees a river far below, with women on the bank, \"like little dolls.\"\nThe story, \"The Prisoner of the Caucasus,\" is about perspective\u2013about physical and cultural distances and the angles of vision they enforce. Tolstoy doubles the point by trapping us, too, on foreign ground. The story\u2019s notation is rudimentary, clipped (\"The nights were short. He saw light through a chink\"), the diction mined with alien words (\"aoul,\" \"saklya,\" \"beshmet\") we\u2019re forced to make out on the run. We stand with Zhilin; nothing is explained, because nothing is understood. But the story is also about art, its ability to bridge the crevasse of otherness. Zhilin makes dolls, and so, the simile of the women reminds us, does Tolstoy. His figures, too, have a nose, arms, legs and Tartar shirt, fashioned from the clay of words. Zhilin leaves his doll on the roof, hoping the girl will see it and understand, and so Tolstoy does with us, placing the wager of art.\nLeo Tolstoy photographed at his estate in 1908\n\"The Prisoner of the Caucasus\" makes a fitting start to the present volume, though probably not for reasons its translators intended. The Death of Ivan Ilyich and Other Stories represents the seventeenth volume of Russian classics produced since 1990 by the acclaimed and apparently indefatigable team of Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky: eight of Dostoyevsky, four of Tolstoy, the rest of Gogol, Chekhov and Bulgakov. The new selection incorporates many of Tolstoy\u2019s most celebrated short works, including \"The Kreutzer Sonata,\" \"Master and Man,\" \"After the Ball,\" \"Alyosha the Pot\" and \"Hadji Murat.\" Other than \"The Prisoner of the Caucasus,\" however, all date from the last thirty years of Tolstoy\u2019s long life (he died in 1910, at 82), and therein lies the kind of challenge faced by Zhilin himself.\nAs Pevear outlines in his introduction to the new collection, the last decades of Tolstoy\u2019s life were marked by a turn toward ideological radicalism and spiritual extremity. In a series of works composed in the wake of Anna Karenina (1878)\u2013A Confession, the first and most powerful, described his own crisis and conversion; others bear titles like \"What Men Live By\" and The Kingdom of God Is Within You\u2013he expounded the moral philosophy that became known around the world as \"Tolstoyism\": anarchist, pacifist, ascetic, egalitarian, vegetarian, anti-church. The Sermon on the Mount became the central text of Tolstoy\u2019s renovated Christianity; its highest ideal, borrowed from the Russian mendicant tradition as well as, via Schopenhauer, from Eastern religion, was renunciation: the surrender not only of material possessions but of all attachment to this world, this life. Tolstoy\u2019s own life ended when, old and sick, he fled his estate at the onset of winter to set out, apparently, on the renouncer\u2019s path himself, a step with which he had long wrestled.\nThe spiritual anguish such ideals inflicted may be inferred from \"Father Sergius,\" a story Tolstoy labored at throughout the 1890s. The tale mirrors its author\u2019s predicament. A proud and brilliant young guards officer, repulsed by the world\u2019s corruption, gives up his career on the eve of a glittering marriage to live instead as a monk, later also as a hermit. Yet however fast he flees, he can\u2019t escape his own vanity and ambition. An act of moral heroism\u2013sought out by a frivolous beauty, he amputates a finger to ward off temptation (\"if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off\")\u2013brings him growing celebrity and a flood of supplicants. But the more famous he gets, the more he is eaten up by self-doubt, self-criticism, self-disgust. Has he really surrendered his pride, or only found a roundabout way of indulging it? Do people truly need him, or only take him further from God? Does God even exist? He feels empty, dirty, lost. He thinks of killing himself, as Tolstoy often did, then blessed by a prophetic dream, discovers at last the key to holiness, disappearing into a life of selfless anonymity.\nA rehearsal, it seems, for Tolstoy\u2019s final flight, and a pr\u00e9cis of the volume\u2019s commitments. Between the first tale and the last (\"Hadji Murat,\" which revisits the army and the Caucasus) are nine stories that turn on the axis of moral struggle, most of them culminating, like \"Father Sergius,\" in a flash of epiphany, a stroke of salvation. The mood is one, by and large, of intense emotional compression amounting to a kind of psychic strangulation\u2013the soul, beset, can barely breathe\u2013the governing idea of what Pevear calls in his introduction to Anna Karenina (it is the quality that Anna shares with Levin, and both of them with their creator) \"metaphysical solitude.\" Other people may help or hinder, but our real business is with God. The art is supremely subtle\u2013this is still Tolstoy\u2013but the message could not be blunter: pick up your cross and follow me.\nNot a body of work the contemporary reader is apt to find congenial. Leave aside the religiosity. We have learned to distrust the story with a message, any message. We disdain the writer who comes to us bearing ideas or ideologies. We don\u2019t like a moralizer, don\u2019t want to be preached at, don\u2019t believe in answers, in endings. We put our faith in ambiguity, complexity, irresolution, doubt. Life isn\u2019t that simple, we think. It doesn\u2019t happen that way. But that is exactly what Tolstoy believes. There is an answer, and while it certainly isn\u2019t easy, it is simple, and it does happen, it should happen. \"Just then,\" one story here concludes, \"it was revealed to him that his life had not been what it ought, but that it could still be rectified\u2026.\u2019So that\u2019s it!\u2019 he suddenly said aloud. \u2018What joy!\u2019\" The later Tolstoy\u2013zealot, extremist, true believer\u2013is a kind of person whose very spirit is alien to us. In a way that\u2019s never true of War and Peace or Anna Karenina, the stories in this volume confront us, like Zhilin, with a radical otherness.\nTolstoy\u2019s renunciations extended even to art itself\u2013or at least the kind of art represented by his earlier masterpieces. Style, form, the profusion of realistic detail for which his great novels are so celebrated, even the act of invention itself: all these he came to regard, at least in certain moods, as frivolous and therefore evil. Goodness mattered, not beauty. After finishing \"Master and Man,\" not only an exquisitely realized piece of work but an exemplarily Christian one, he told his diary, \"I am ashamed to have wasted my time on such stuff.\" He wrote, as it were, behind his own back.\nBut still he wrote. His late style is leaner, his forms more spare, but this is also the economy of achieved mastery. He does more with less, and the Tolstoyan sounds, instantly recognizable, are still there. First, the way with dialogue. \"But how live with a person if there\u2019s no love?\" says a lady, disputing the question of divorce.\n\"That wasn\u2019t gone into before,\" the old man said in an impressive tone. \"It\u2019s only started now. There\u2019s something, and she up and says: \u2018I\u2019m leaving you.\u2019 Even among muzhiks this fashion\u2019s caught on: \u2018Here,\u2019 she says, \u2018take all your shirts and trousers, and I\u2019ll go with Vanka, his hair\u2019s curlier than yours.\u2019 Well, go and talk after that. The first thing in a woman should be fear.\"\nThat\u2019s voicing and voicing squared, the old man\u2019s sound plus his version of the peasant\u2019s.\n(To see why Pevear and Volokhonsky are so cherished, compare this with another translation:\n\"People didn\u2019t make such a fuss about all that in the old days,\" said the merchant in a serious voice. \"That\u2019s all just come in lately. First thing you hear her say nowadays is \u2018I\u2019m leaving you.\u2019 It\u2019s a fashion that\u2019s caught on even among the muzhiks. \u2018Here you are,\u2019 she says; \u2018here\u2019s your shirts and trousers, I\u2019m off with Vanka, his hair\u2019s curlier than yours.\u2019 And it\u2019s no good arguing with her. Whereas what ought to come first for a woman is fear.\"\nThe new version is more flexible, individuated, immediate and in a lot fewer words.)\nThen, the power of \"concrete evocation,\" as Tolstoy\u2019s greatest gift has been called:\nCarefully picking his way through the dung-heaped stable, Mukhorty frisked and bucked, pretending that he wanted to give a kick with his hind leg at Nikita, who was jogging beside him to the well.\n\"Go on, go on, you rascal!\" muttered Nikita, who knew the care with which Mukhorty had thrown up his hind leg, just enough to touch his greasy sheepskin jacket but not to hit him, and who especially liked that trick.\nAfter drinking the icy water, the horse sighed, moving his wet, firm lips, from the whiskers of which transparent drops dripped into the trough, and stood still as if in thought; then he suddenly gave a loud snort.\n\"If the world could write by itself,\" Isaac Babel said, \"it would write like Tolstoy.\"\nAnd then, the psychological clairvoyance:\nToday Butler was going into action for the second time, and it was a joy to him to think that they were about to be fired at, and that he not only would not duck his head as a cannonball flew over or pay attention to the whistle of bullets, but would carry his head high, as he had done already, and look about at his comrades and soldiers with a smile in his eyes, and start talking in the most indifferent voice about something irrelevant.\nAnd then again, the comedy of manners, always disturbed, in Tolstoy, by an undertow of seriousness. Two men meet at a wake:\nPyotr Ivanovich\u2019s colleague, Schwartz, was about to come downstairs and, from the topmost step, seeing him enter, stopped and winked at him, as if to say: \"Ivan Ilyich made a botch of it; we\u2019ll do better, you and I.\"\nA high school teacher once asked me to write some satire for the literary magazine. How do you do that?, I wanted to know. \"Oh,\" she said, \"just write down what happens\"\u2013as fine a definition of satire as I\u2019ve come across, and a pretty good characterization of Tolstoy. But of course, seeing what happens is half the game, and getting it down is the other half, and few have done either as well as he.\nYet neither acuity of observation nor transparency of style is enough to explain Tolstoy\u2019s secret. Reginald Farrer, in an essay on Jane Austen, said this: \"The essence of conviction, in the game of make-believe, is to convince yourself first of all, finally and absolutely.\" More even than Austen, more than anyone, this Tolstoy did. In a way impossible to trace but immediately and everywhere felt, he communicates to us his utter belief in the world he presents. It is as real to him, we sense, as reality itself (one reason he could mingle historical and fictional characters, in War and Peace and elsewhere, without compunction). But that conviction evidently rested on another. Reality was simply much more real to Tolstoy than it is to the rest of us. He believed, as few people finally do, in the world. And this belief\u2013though the secular mind, which sets the natural and supernatural at odds, may find the notion counterintuitive\u2013was of a piece with his religious faith. He had his moments of doubt, like Father Sergius, but they were not the skepticism of a rationalist. Tolstoy believed in God even when he didn\u2019t: believed in the spiritual imperatives that God represents. The world was present to him as a material reality because it was present to him as a moral one, and it was this double conviction, carried over into his work, that gives his fiction its unsurpassed solidity.\nNothing demonstrates this better than \"The Death of Ivan Ilyich.\" The story gives us an almost unbearable description of the process of dying, elaborated with all of Tolstoy\u2019s narrative powers and agonizingly prolonged for some thirty pages, from the moment the title character notices \"a strange taste in his mouth\" until he meets his end in three days of incessant screaming. But Ivan Ilyich\u2019s greatest torments are spiritual. Can this really be all there is?, he asks himself. Death\u2013and nothing more? Pain\u2013and nothing more? \"Can it be that life is so meaningless and vile?\" This is a story about a man who avoids thinking about life\u2013a man for whom the moral world is no more real than it is for most of us\u2013until he is forced to think about death.\nLike \"The Prisoner of the Caucasus,\" though in a very different way, it is a story about perspective\u2013the reversal of perspective inflicted by the prospect of extinction. It opens with its title character already gone, Pyotr Ivanovich and his colleague Schwartz, the dead man\u2019s fellow functionaries in the courts of law, going through their pantomime around the coffin. This is the outside view, death as a social fact, a temporary awkwardness in the lives of people who are no more inclined to take it seriously\u2013\"we\u2019ll do better, you and I\"\u2013than Ivan Ilyich was. But then the story doubles back, to narrate its protagonist\u2019s life from his own point of view, reversing the perspective in two senses. As for Pyotr Ivanovich and friends, though we expect to meet them again at story\u2019s end, we never do. In one of his boldest strokes here, Tolstoy doesn\u2019t even bother to close the frame. The story has created a retroactive dramatic irony that\u2019s already told us everything we need to know about these men, a single file of Ivan Ilyiches marching blindly toward the grave.\nIvan Ilyich\u2019s existence, before he fell ill, had been one of unswerving adherence to form. To live well, he believed, was to do precisely what was expected of him, what everyone did in his class:\nIt was the same as with all people who are not exactly rich, but who want to resemble the rich, and for that reason only resemble each other: damasks, ebony, flowers, carpets, and bronzes, dark and gleaming\u2013all that all people of a certain kind acquire in order to resemble all people of a certain kind.\nHis watchwords\u2013we hear them again and again\u2013are \"pleasantness\" and \"decency,\" joined, as he starts to prosper in earnest, by \"ease.\" Everything else, including the emptiness of his own marriage, including the human suffering he sees before him as a magistrate, he pushes out of consciousness. But of course, pleasantness, decency and ease are precisely what dying overturns. Here is yet another reversal, and the key word is \"decency.\" Death is indecent in the physical sense\u2013a servant must clean up his waste\u2013but also in the social one. It just isn\u2019t the sort of thing polite people talk about:\nHis wife listened, but in the middle of his account his daughter came in with her hat on: she and her mother were going somewhere. She forced herself to sit down and listen to this boredom, but could not stand it for long, and the mother did not hear him out.\nThis is the greatest torment of all: the social lies that deprive Ivan Ilyich of the comfort, the simple companionship, that is what he really needs. He hears his wife entertaining in the next room, meets his daughter\u2019s fianc\u00e9 as if it were business as usual. No one wants to see what\u2019s really going on. In the midst of life we are in death, the story says, but in the midst of death we are in denial.\nAnd then, the final reversal. Dying seems, to Ivan Ilyich, like being pushed into \"some narrow and deep black sack,\" and the worst of it is that he can\u2019t get all the way into it. \"What kept him from getting into it was the claim that his had been a good life.\" He is stuck, as he has always been stuck. But finally, in his last hour, he falls through\u2013which means, simply, that he surrenders the lie. \"Yes,\" he thinks, \"it was all not right.\" But even now, he sees, it is not too late to make it right\u2013he only needs to do what\u2019s best for those around him. (\"A new commandment I give unto you, that you love one another.\") He is the one who discovers, on the edge of death, that his life can still be rectified, and says aloud, \"What joy!\" Death dies: \"Instead of death there was light.\" Revelation, repentance, salvation, bliss\u2013but for all the Christian overtones, no priest, no creed, no promise of heaven, no explicit mention even of God. The truth sets Ivan Ilyich free, but it is not a mystical truth, it is the plain truth of his own life.\nAnd yet, with what agonies won. \"The Death of Ivan Ilyich\" was completed in 1886. Thirteen years later, another Slav composed a deathbed scene, perhaps with this in mind, that culminated not with \"What joy!\" but with a very different phrase: \"The horror! The horror!\" Yet finally, the two are not so very far apart. Ivan Ilyich escapes Kurtz\u2019s abyss, but by scarcely a page. The truth, for Tolstoy, may be simple, but it is not, it is never, easy.\nThere is an emblematic moment in \"Father Sergius.\" The title character, impelled by his prophetic dream, seeks out an old woman he had known as a girl. \"It can\u2019t be!\" she exclaims: \"Styopa! Sergius! Father Sergius!\" The names summarize his ascent, from boy to man to famous ascetic. \"Yes, himself,\" he replies, \"only not Sergius, not Father Sergius, but the great sinner Stepan Kasatsky.\" Salvation happens in Tolstoy\u2019s great novels, too, but it happens very differently. Both Levin in Anna Karenina and Pierre in War and Peace come eventually to understand the truth of conduct and the meaning of life, and understand them in Christian terms, but their journeys are still novelistic, still patterned on the idea of Bildung, personal development, that governed the nineteenth-century novel. The individual enters into adult experience, tries his hand at this and that\u2013\"he had long sought in various directions for that peace, that harmony with himself,\" we read of Pierre, \"sought it in philanthropy, in Masonry, in the distractions of social life, in wine, in a heroic deed of self-sacrifice, in romantic love for Natasha\"\u2013and at last discovers his place in the world. Inner aligns with outer, soul with society, and the young man, as we say, makes a name for himself. (Or young woman: Elizabeth Bennet turns into Mrs. Darcy.)\nBut in the later Tolstoy, the confrontation runs between, not inner and outer, but inner and, as it were, innermost. \"Father Sergius,\" the climax of the old woman\u2019s sequence, the name that does indeed manifest the man for all the world to see\u2013his talent and courage, his pride and ambition\u2013is precisely the problem. \"Not Father Sergius, but the great sinner Stepan Kasatsky.\" That\u2019s really who he is\u2013until finally, surrendering even that designation to a wanderer\u2019s anonymity, he becomes just no one at all. For the later Tolstoy, the layers a novelistic character accumulates\u2013vocation, family, identity\u2013are things to be discarded. Not, here, a thickening into wisdom but a lightening into humility. Not education, but revelation. Not development, but renunciation: the self stripped to its core.\nThe self stripped, finally, of itself. Renunciation, passed to the limit, becomes death\u2013or at least indifference to life. \"Master and Man,\" with the archetypal directness its title implies, gives us both alternatives. Two men are caught in a blizzard. The master, a smug and greedy merchant and thus a kind of spiritual relative, at a different level of class, to Ivan Ilyich, achieves salvation, at the very end, by giving his life for his servant. But the servant, the \"man\"\u2013he is Nikita, the one who leads the horse\u2013has known salvation all along, because he holds his life cheap. \"What,\" the master says in the midst of the storm, \"should I perish like this, for nothing?\" But Nikita says to himself, \"Well, no help for it, you\u2019ll have to get used to the new.\" He waits for God; he takes what comes.\nYet the story, a brilliantly subtle double portrait, still psychologizes Nikita\u2019s serenity. He trusts in the afterlife, and in any case, his existence here \"was not a continuous feast, but, on the contrary, a ceaseless servitude.\" But in \"Alyosha the Pot,\" Tolstoy creates a character whose peace passes our understanding. Alyosha is purity itself, a holy fool, a lifelong child\u2013though his life is cut off at 21. He works, he obeys, he accepts. And at the end he says, \"Why not? Can we just keep on living?\" His story, five pages long, is a soap bubble, a folk tale, the last perfection of Tolstoy\u2019s late art, struck off, in his late 70s, in the space of a single day\u2013as brief, as innocent, as complete in its simplicity as its subject.\nAlyosha does have one adventure: he falls in love with the cook. But the master forbids it, so he gives it up. Tolstoy\u2013and here we can scarcely believe him, let alone comply\u2013would have us do likewise. No marriage, no sex\u2013like the Shakers:\n\"All the same,\" I said, \"\u2026the human race would come to an end.\"\u2026\n\"Why should it go on, this human race?\" he said.\n\"Why? If it didn\u2019t we wouldn\u2019t exist.\"\n\"And why should we exist?\"\nThe exchange is from \"The Kreutzer Sonata,\" a tale of adultery and murder and one of several stories here that revile sexuality\u2013and as the title suggests, the music that provokes it\u2013with a kind of helpless despair. (Its condemnation of marriage and frank treatment of sex made it the most notorious of Tolstoy\u2019s many controversial works. The czarist government effectively banned it; Theodore Roosevelt was moved to call its author, with brilliant if unintentional ambiguity, a \"sexual moral pervert.\") Another is \"The Devil,\" drawn from Tolstoy\u2019s affair with one of his peasants and so akin in setting and characters that it seems like an outtake from the Levin\u2013that is, the autobiographical\u2013half of Anna Karenina. The title casts a net of reference from which nothing, finally, escapes. The devil is woman, the devil is man, the devil is desire itself.\nAnd in these stories, at least, stronger than God. No revelation here, only the negative epiphany of self-condemnation. No grace, only the demonic salvation of murder or suicide. \"The Devil,\" unpublished during Tolstoy\u2019s life, gives us both possibilities in two alternative endings. \"The Kreutzer Sonata,\" in effect, gives us each in succession. The protagonist (he\u2019s the one who thinks we should all live like the Shakers) has murdered his unfaithful wife. Freed by the courts, he rides the rails of Russia confessing his story, like the Ancient Mariner, to anyone who will listen\u2013condemned, like one of Dante\u2019s sinners, to an endless round of remorse. Not suicide, exactly, but a kind of spiritual self-extinction, a living death.\nThe tale is virtually Gothic, at moments, in its gruesomeness, but that is nothing to the horror sounded by \"The Forged Coupon,\" a compressed epic of sin and salvation and the clearest statement here of the aging Tolstoy\u2019s aesthetic mission. (It is the story that inspired Robert Bresson\u2019s film L\u2019Argent.) The coupon is a bank voucher, altered by a couple of wealthy schoolboys to show a higher denomination. They pass it off on a merchant, who passes it off on a peasant, who\u2019s jailed for unwittingly trying to spend it and turns horse thief out of bitterness. The taint spreads. The merchant\u2019s porter, suborned to bear false witness, also begins to steal. Why shouldn\u2019t he, seeing how the masters act? A fair-minded landlord, his horses stolen, abuses his peasants and winds up getting killed. His driver, falsely accused of the theft, becomes a good-for-nothing. The horse thief, caught elsewhere, is also killed. And so on and so forth, evil begetting evil, fraud leading to theft leading to murder, until some two dozen characters have been swept into the vortex.\nFinally, there is Stepan, the horse thief\u2019s killer. In prison, something snaps. \"All the authorities, all the masters,\" he thinks, \"all were robbers who sucked the people\u2019s blood.\" Once he gets out, he makes Raskolnikov look like a pacifist. He axes a couple, kills a whole family just because it enters his head, then puts the knife to another. Tolstoy\u2019s portrait of a psychopath is as ruthless as his picture, in \"Ivan Ilyich,\" of a dying man. \"Enough of your talk,\" Stepan says, as he cuts his final throat.\nBut he isn\u2019t quick enough, for the words of the victim, a virtuous old widow\u2013\"You destroy other people\u2019s souls, but your own most of all\"\u2013start to work their way into his brain. The curve of the story has reached its moral minimum, and now begins its slow bend back toward the light. The narrative architecture is remarkably deft. Stepan, in prison, repents. The merchant\u2019s porter, jailed alongside him, is moved to repent in turn. So is the landlord\u2019s driver, another prison mate, and the hangman who was to have finished off the landlord\u2019s killers. Hearing the story, the landlord\u2019s widow also converts, and so eventually even do the schoolboys, now grown up, who began it all. As sin begat sin, so repentance begets repentance, and with a speed, a narrative ease, that openly defies our disbelief.\nArt, Tolstoy says in What Is Art?, another late work, is \"that human activity which consists in one man\u2019s consciously conveying to others\u2026the feelings he has experienced, and in others being infected by those feelings and also experiencing them.\" While evil, in the first half of \"The Forged Coupon,\" spreads through action, virtue, in the second, spreads precisely through a kind of emotional infection. And the vector, indeed, is story: Stepan\u2019s story, the hangman\u2019s, but one other story above all. When goodness enters the tale\u2013the widow Stepan later kills converts a tailor, who converts a peasant, who ultimately completes Stepan\u2019s conversion in prison\u2013it enters thus:\n\"Must be you got it from books, that there\u2019ll be a reward for it in the next world.\"\n\"Of that we know nothing,\" said Marya Semyonovna, \"only it\u2019s better to live this way.\"\n\"And is that in the books?\"\n\"It\u2019s in the books, too,\" she said, and she read him the Sermon on the Mount.\nAll goodness starts, for Tolstoy, with the Good Book. All narrative goodness, too. What Is Art? renounces the accumulation of detail that marks the novel, Tolstoy\u2019s novels above all. Its aesthetic ideal is the Bible, with its lapidary tales. \"The Forged Coupon\" begins with a fair bit of circumstantial elaboration, but as it goes on, and especially once the infection of virtue begins to spread in earnest, its episodes get briefer and briefer, approaching the biblical norm. The last three, dispatched in a page and a half, achieve it: the barest context, a bit of dialogue, a climax. The story, too, converts\u2013and hopes in turn, like the text it emulates, to convert its readers. To received ways of making fiction, says the aged Tolstoy\u2013this latter-day prophet, this man apart, this blazing soul\u2013the kingdom of God is not of this form.",

        "raw_content": "Why Brown Still Matters\nFifty years ago, African-Americans and fellow progressives hailed Brown v. Board of Education as a conclusive turning point in the struggle for racial equality.\nBy David J. Garrow\nFifty years ago, African-Americans and fellow progressives hailed Brown v. Board of Education as a conclusive turning point in the struggle for racial equality. NAACP chief counsel Thurgood Marshall predicted the end of all school segregation within five years, and the NAACP adopted the slogan \u201cfree by \u201963.\u201d White supremacists unsurprisingly denounced the decision, but prominent academics and jurists also criticized Brown for rejecting history, endorsing social psychology and espousing judicial supremacy.\nFifty years after Brown, the battle lines are reversed. Prominent African-American figures now criticize Brown as a \u201cfailure,\u201d and liberal legal scholars claim the ruling contributed little or nothing to the black freedom struggle of the 1950s and \u201960s. Conservative commentators and judges, for their part, now avidly praise Brown, celebrating it as a landmark victory that paved the way to a \u201ccolorblind\u201d America.\nThis paradoxical turnabout is not a singular phenomenon. Consider, for example, how each January the Martin Luther King Jr. federal holiday now elicits a largely ho-hum response from proponents of racial justice. In contrast, right-wing politicians like President George W. Bush consistently use the anniversary for wreath-laying photo-ops designed to advertise their anti-racist credentials.\nShould conservatives be blamed for trying to appropriate the Brown decision and the King holiday as deceptive window-dressing for their own present-day political goals? Or should liberals instead ask whether onetime supporters of Brown and of King have so loosened their own embrace of two of the freedom struggle\u2019s greatest legacies as to make them easily available for uncontested capture by their opponents?\nFailure to extol the democratic socialist King, who harshly decried America\u2019s military adventurism abroad, leaves him vulnerable to the sort of selective quotation (\u201cnot be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character\u201d) that allows conservatives to kidnap his birthday. Fortunately with King, there are excellent new books, such as Drew Hansen\u2019s The Dream and Stewart Burns\u2019s To the Mountaintop, as well as earlier biographies, that utterly rebut this historical hijacking.\nBrown has not been as fortunate. Most of the long shelfload of books published on the occasion of the decision\u2019s fiftieth anniversary focus on the narrowest aspect of Brown\u2018s legacy\u2013school desegregation\u2013and overlook the broader and more far-reaching way in which Brown revolutionized the role of courts in American life. Some of these books offer fashionable dismissals of Brown, which, like the belittling of King by radicals, can have tangibly harmful consequences in the wider political culture. For if Brown was a \u201cfailure,\u201d then aggressive judicial protection of civil rights and liberties in other contexts is likewise more open to disparagement and attack.\nThe books that examine Brown\u2018s racial legacy range from All Deliberate Speed, a hybrid of historical criticism and memoir by Harvard law professor Charles Ogletree, to Charles Clotfelter\u2019s After Brown: The Rise and Retreat of School Desegregation, a richly instructive \u201carithmetical history\u201d of how educational integration waxed and then waned in the years after Brown. Supreme Court history aficionados will enjoy With All Deliberate Speed (edited by Norman Silber); while its subtitle, The Life of Philip Elman: An Oral History Memoir, may sound obscure, it provides a fascinating insider\u2019s look at the Supreme Court during the 1940s and \u201950s.\nDerrick Bell\u2019s Silent Covenants is the most disconsolate new volume, revisiting criticisms of civil rights litigation that Bell\u2013an NAACP Legal Defense Fund attorney in the 1960s, now a law professor at New York University\u2013has been articulating for more than two decades. Bell believes that he and other lawyers failed to realize that \u201cracism is permanent in this country,\u201d and that excessive faith in integrationist ideals has actually harmed black students\u2019 education. A far more optimistic prescription for America\u2019s racial future is offered by Sheryll Cashin, a Georgetown University law professor who clerked for Thurgood Marshall during his final year on the Supreme Court, in The Failures of Integration: How Race and Class Are Undermining the American Dream. Cashin\u2019s title captures the current media consensus that Brown\u2018s legacy for America\u2019s public schools has been one of failure rather than success. But unlike Bell, Cashin lays out an integrationist vision fully in keeping with Marshall\u2019s own 1954 confidence. She may be outnumbered by those who see Brown as a misguided venture that actually disserved African-Americans, but progressives should think twice before accepting such a negative conclusion about a decision so long and so popularly associated with judicial advancement of civil rights.\nNone of these new books offer a comprehensive history of Brown itself. For that, one must turn to Richard Kluger\u2019s Simple Justice: The History of Brown v. Board of Education and Black America\u2019s Struggle for Equality, first published in 1976, or to Mark Tushnet\u2019s very different but valuable Making Civil Rights Law: Thurgood Marshall and the Supreme Court, 1936-1961, published in 1994. Kluger\u2019s exhaustively documented chronicle remains the richest book yet written about Brown and one of the finest works of history ever to appear. The Pulitzer Prize board\u2019s failure to honor it is, in retrospect, a glaring embarrassment (Kluger did receive a 1997 Pulitzer for Ashes to Ashes, a magisterial history of the public health battle over cigarettes). Publication of a new edition of Simple Justice this spring offers a renewed opportunity to absorb one of the essential stories of American history.\nKluger\u2019s beautifully written volume begins with a memorable account of Brown\u2018s origins in Clarendon County, South Carolina. Brown, the singular name for the Supreme Court ruling, actually encompassed four initially separate cases\u2013from South Carolina, Virginia, Delaware and Kansas, the last of which furnished the \u201cBrown\u201d moniker. A fifth case, from the District of Columbia, Bolling v. Sharpe, was simultaneously decided in an individual opinion.\nSimple Justice moves back and forth among the grassroots origins and lower-court litigation of all five cases. The South Carolina lawsuit is a riveting story because of the white repression and retaliation the African-American plaintiffs suffered. Kluger\u2019s elegant narration supplies copious detail about each case, but the most historically significant moment in the lower-court trials took place in Brown itself on June 25, 1951, during the testimony of Louisa Pinkham Holt, a psychology professor at the University of Kansas.\nAddressing segregation\u2019s impact on black schoolchildren, Professor Holt testified that \u201cthe fact that it is enforced, that it is legal, I think, has more importance than the mere fact of segregation by itself does because this gives legal and official sanction to a policy which is inevitably interpreted both by white people and by Negroes as denoting the inferiority of the Negro.\u201d The resulting \u201csense of inferiority must always affect one\u2019s motivation for learning,\u201d she added, \u201csince it affects the feeling one has of one\u2019s self as a person.\u201d\nFive weeks later the court ruled against the black plaintiffs. But Judge Walter Huxman\u2019s opinion included a finding of fact that recapitulated Louisa Holt\u2019s testimony: \u201cSegregation of white and colored children in public schools has a detrimental effect upon the colored children. The impact is greater when it has the sanction of the law; for the policy of separating the races is usually interpreted as denoting the inferiority of the Negro group. A sense of inferiority affects the motivation of a child to learn.\u201d As Brown moved forward to the Supreme Court, Huxman\u2019s echoing of Holt would tellingly reverberate.\nKluger\u2019s powerfully rendered accounts of such preliminary events convey a sense of high drama and uncertainty about the cases\u2019 eventual outcome. Making Civil Rights Law tells a different story. In Tushnet\u2019s view, only modest drama marked the Supreme Court\u2019s handling of Brown. When the High Court first heard the five cases in late 1952, the nine Justices already knew they were going to overrule Plessy v. Ferguson, the infamous 1896 \u201cseparate but equal\u201d ruling that had enshrined racial segregation in American law. Kluger, in contrast, portrays the NAACP attorneys as advancing a precarious challenge to Plessy whose final resolution was unforeseeable.\nThe crucial turning point, in Kluger\u2019s view, occurred on September 8, 1953, when Chief Justice Fred Vinson died suddenly of a heart attack. Vinson\u2019s demise, Justice Felix Frankfurter told his close friend Philip Elman, represented \u201cthe first indication I have ever had that there is a God.\u201d Earl Warren, the Republican governor of California, was named as Vinson\u2019s successor, an appointment Simple Justice heralds as the \u201cArrival of the Superchief.\u201d\nJudicial serendipity thus seems crucial to Brown\u2018s outcome. As the Court moves forward toward its May 17, 1954, decision of Brown, Kluger\u2019s focus on the nine Justices, and especially on Earl Warren, intensifies. Simple Justice presents Brown as the fortuitous achievement of the right man who was in the right place at the right time. Indeed, in Kluger\u2019s account, the Justices are the decisive actors, while in Tushnet\u2019s account the plaintiffs\u2019 attorneys, particularly Marshall, are crucial. As Tushnet puts it, \u201cIt was precisely the brilliance of Marshall\u2019s strategy that he forced the justices to a choice\u201d concerning Plessy, \u201cbelieving\u2013correctly, as it turned out\u2013that once he forced them to choose, they could make only one decision.\u201d The suggestion that there was \u201conly one\u201d possible outcome in Brown is utterly foreign to the historical tension that Simple Justice so persuasively portrays. For Kluger, not only was Brown\u2018s outcome in doubt until after Warren\u2019s arrival as Chief Justice but uncertainty continued right up to the very drafting of the decision, as Warren worked to persuade all of his colleagues to join in one unanimous opinion. For Tushnet, Brown\u2018s outcome was never in doubt; only the Justices\u2019 modest differences \u201cover how to justify the result\u201d they knew they were going to reach were really at issue.\nIn Tushnet\u2019s view, the crucial issue that preoccupied the Justices from late 1952 to 1954 was not Brown\u2018s constitutional merits but how a decision overturning Plessy could avoid imminent enforcement of school desegregation in the South. That primary concern led the Justices to order yet another round of rearguments, rather than issue an immediate remedial mandate, when Brown \u201cI\u201d was handed down. Twelve months later, in Brown \u201cII,\u201d the Justices sent all five cases back to the lower courts in a brief opinion that did not mention \u201csegregation,\u201d \u201cdesegregation\u201d or \u201cintegration.\u201d Brown II reiterated that \u201cracial discrimination in public education is unconstitutional,\u201d but it instructed the lower courts only \u201cto admit to public schools on a racially nondiscriminatory basis with all deliberate speed the parties to these cases.\u201d\n\u201cAll deliberate speed\u201d has become a deservedly notorious phrase, but criticism of that phrase diverts attention from the Brown Court\u2019s far more fundamental failure to articulate, or even think through, what the future of nondiscriminatory public education in previously segregated schools should entail. The Supreme Court\u2019s silence on that crucial point was a fatal error, for when the Clarendon County case returned to South Carolina, Circuit Judge John Parker shrewdly filled the gaping hole. Under Brown, Parker said, \u201ca state may not deny to any person on account of race the right to attend any school that it maintains.\u201d However, so long as schools are \u201copen to children of all races, no violation of the Constitution is involved even though the children of different races voluntarily attend different schools.\u201d Pursuant to Brown, Parker explained, the Constitution \u201cdoes not require integration. It merely forbids discrimination\u201d and \u201cforbids the use of governmental power to enforce segregation.\u201d\nTushnet notes that the lower federal courts \u201cuniversally adopted\u201d Parker\u2019s formulation, and his distinctions, in Kluger\u2019s words, \u201cset a standard for evasiveness\u201d for school districts across the South. Thanks to the Supreme Court\u2019s blindness, and Parker\u2019s assertiveness, \u201cafter Brown, the ultimate issue of principle was the meaning of Brown itself,\u201d as Tushnet aptly puts it. Whether or not the Constitution required \u201csome substantial degree of integration\u201d on the part of previously segregated school districts was a question that the Brown Court had failed to answer or even consider.\nThe Brown Court\u2019s fundamental failure to articulate an affirmative standard for public education\u2019s postsegregationist future was as momentous a judicial mistake as any that the post-New Deal Court has ever made. It opened the door to Judge Parker\u2019s wily artifice, and the Court\u2019s post-1955 evasion of most, though not all, of the ensuing decade\u2019s most pressing desegregation cases allowed the Parker formulation to hold sway largely unchallenged for more than ten years.\nOnly in 1968, thirteen years after Brown II, did the Supreme Court finally return in a definitive fashion to the unanswered questions about Southern school desegregation it had forsaken in 1955. The Court\u2019s virtual abandonment of Brown\u2018s meaning during those intervening years allowed the white South to evade any implementation of meaningful change for well over a decade. Indeed, it was only after Circuit Judge John Minor Wisdom of Louisiana declared that Parker\u2019s formulation was \u201cinconsistent\u201d with Brown II\u2019s unspoken mandate that districts \u201cprovide an integrated school system\u201d that the Supreme Court embraced Wisdom\u2019s response to the crucial question that Brown had failed to address clearly.\nOver the past decade it has become fashionable in some academic circles to assert that Brown v. Board of Education was a decision of little moment, that the Southern black freedom struggle of the 1954-68 era would have developed in much the way that it did irrespective of whether Brown or any similar ruling was ever handed down by the Supreme Court. Michael Klarman, a law professor at the University of Virginia, first propounded that argument in 1994, and this year he elaborates at some length a slightly muted restatement of it in From Jim Crow to Civil Rights: The Supreme Court and the Struggle for Racial Equality.\nKlarman is not alone in asserting that Brown mobilized white segregationists to oppose African-American efforts for equality with radically increased vigor. But many recountings of mid-1950s history wrongly see white \u201cmassive resistance\u201d as a direct response to Brown. Instead, as the best civil rights histories richly detail\u2013see, for example, J. Mills Thornton\u2019s Dividing Lines\u2014Brown inspired African-American activists across the South to redouble their efforts. Only as black Southerners petitioned for school integration, boycotted segregated municipal buses and attempted to desegregate all-white public universities did hard-core segregationists rise up in hysterical fury.\nAcademic efforts to minimize Brown\u2018s importance to the Southern black freedom struggle are not new\u2013Gerald Rosenberg\u2019s 1991 book The Hollow Hope: Can Courts Bring About Social Change? is a case in point\u2013but such historical arguments increasingly go hand in hand with political claims that progressive social-change movements should not look to constitutional lawsuits like Brown (or Roe v. Wade) to advance their agendas. For many Americans, Brown represents the social truth that courts can right fundamental wrongs just as much as it represents a landmark moment in the struggle for racial justice. Even as recently as 1987, when Judge Robert Bork\u2019s nomination to the Supreme Court was overwhelmingly rejected by the Senate, criticisms and dismissals of the Warren Court\u2019s legacy of constitutional change were voiced only by conservative Republicans, and The New Republic, not progressives.\nThe new left-liberal hostility toward judicial power was exemplified by Mark Tushnet\u2019s Taking the Constitution Away From the Courts, published in 1999. Tushnet advocated that rather than invest in constitutional litigation, progressives \u201cought to participate in creating constitutional law through our actions in politics.\u201d Tushnet\u2019s call unfortunately echoed the longtime editorial rhetoric of The New Republic, whose disdain for judicial protection of constitutional liberties culminated in the bizarre assertion that women\u2019s access to legal abortion was \u201ca right that should be protected by politics,\u201d not the judiciary.\nWhen prominent progressive scholars such as Tushnet join with The New Republic in calling for constitutional self-abnegation on the part of the federal judiciary, they embrace the legacies of Felix Frankfurter, Learned Hand and Robert Bork, not those of Earl Warren, William Brennan and Thurgood Marshall. To the extent that this position is animated by historically erroneous dismissals of Brown\u2013and by similarly wrongheaded claims that the abortion rights movement would have fared better had the Supreme Court not handed down so strong a ruling as Roe v. Wade in 1973\u2013forceful rebuttals of Klarman\u2019s historical distortions are imperative. As liberal law professor Erwin Chemerinsky has emphasized, \u201cThe erosion of faith in judicial review may cause courts to be less willing to enforce the Constitution.\u201d\nThe danger that an academic fad can have deleterious real-world consequences is starkly evident in Judge Richard Posner\u2019s off-the-bench observation in The New Republic that \u201cthe swelling chorus of \u2018judicial review\u2019 skeptics\u201d has \u201cundermined the complacent belief that judicial review is unequivocally a good thing.\u201d Perhaps progressives will be tempted to endorse Posner\u2019s conclusion, rather than Chemerinsky\u2019s warning, when they reflect upon the recent track record of the Rehnquist Court, but that temptation should be resisted and indeed rejected. Landmark decisions in the 1990s, such as Planned Parenthood v. Casey, Romer v. Evans and US v. Virginia (the VMI sex-discrimination case), all reflect how even a highly conservative Court sometimes can insure and advance individual rights. Indeed, anyone tempted to dismiss the political utility of progressive civil liberties litigation in today\u2019s federal courts should recall the Rehnquist Court\u2019s historic June 2003 vindication of gay Americans\u2019 basic personal liberties in its remarkable 6-to-3 ruling in Lawrence v. Texas.\nBrown\u2018s legacy as our ultimate beacon of judicial protection of fundamental rights will resonate even more vibrantly this May 17. Last November the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, building directly upon Lawrence, held in Goodridge v. Department of Public Health that the state Constitution does not allow for the institution of civil marriage to be discriminatorily restricted toopposite-sex couples. Goodridge is the climax of a state constitutional litigation strategy for gay marriage equality that reaches back to the early 1990s and bears more than a passing resemblance to the constitutional vision that animated Thurgood Marshall in the years before Brown.\nWhen the Massachusetts court issued Goodridge on November 18, it delayed implementation of its order for 180 days. The past few months have witnessed sad, pathetic and ultimately unsuccessful efforts by Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney to obstruct and postpone the court\u2019s ruling. The 180-day period expires on May 17, the day on which same-sex couples will first be eligible to obtain state marriage licenses. It is a fitting tribute to Brown, and to the courageous lawyers and Justices who demonstrated that constitutional litigation can indeed enhance human freedom, that Brown\u2018s fiftieth anniversary will be celebrated by the advent of another historic advance toward complete liberty and equality for all.\nDavid J.

He met and offered his condolence to the heirs of the victims of the twin bomb blasts in a market in Parachinar. As many as 75 people were killed and several injured in the twin bomb blasts at a market place in Parachinar, the headquarters of Kurram Agency.\nANP deputy provincial president Imran Afridi, Ayaz Wazir, Imran Bangash and others were also present. The nationalist politician said that unity was needed to root out militancy from the country. He said that the Pakistan Army was a professional and strong institution and very capable of defeating militants.\n\"The country's political and military leadership with the support of nation would eliminate militancy,\" he hoped. He said coordinated efforts were required to get rid of the menace. Mian Inftikhar maintained that the ANP wanted friendly relationship with the neighbouring countries and to remove the mistrust.\nHe said terrorists had no religion and cannot be reasoned with, adding, that the militants changed their identity and shed the blood of Pakhtuns. \"They play with our lives under one or the other name,\" he added.\nThe ANP leader said the government should announce compensation like the one given to families of the victims of tanker-fire in Bahawalpur in Punjab province or given in other parts of the country. He said that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and President Mamnoon Hussain should visit Parachinar to show solidarity with the bereaved families and correct their past mistake.",

        "raw_content": "Feminism makes economic sense\nThe development strategy of the PML-N government is often criticised by opposition parties and the mainstream media. But these mainstream segments of the body politic and media lack a feminist appraisal of the federal government\u2019s development strategy. Instead, the opposition and media seem to be obsessed with the loaded notion of \u2018merit\u2019.\nNo matter what the issue, they reduce it to the lack of \u2018merit\u2019 in state and society. These \u2018merit-wallas\u2019 never mention gender, class and institutional dimensions of the existing problems in this country. Instead, they bypass these tough questions by solely focusing on ahistorical notions of \u2018corruption\u2019 and \u2018merit\u2019. In other words, these \u2018merit-wallas\u2019 are unable or unwilling to acknowledge the class and gender hierarchies in our society that constraint and regulate an individual\u2019s behaviour.\nThis gender-blindness by \u2018merit-wallas\u2019 has severe ramifications. In a highly unequal and male-dominated society like Pakistan, boys have an unfair advantage over girls because of patriarchy and systemic discrimination against women. Therefore, gender-blind policies and a gender-blind critique of those policies simply reinforce gender discrimination in our society. In order to correct these gender disparities, the solution lies not in the ahistorical slogan of \u2018meritocracy\u2019 but in affirmative action policies. The blame then lies not only on the government but on all major stakeholders in contemporary system, including the mainstream media.\nLet\u2019s take the example of education in Pakistan. Even a cursory glance at statistics reflects stark gender disparities. According to Unicef\u2019s 2013 report, only 83 girls are enrolled for every 100 enrolled boys of ages 5 to 9 in Pakistan. And it is not just at the primary level of education where gender disparity exists. Ov average, girls are under-enrolled at all levels of education vis-\u00e0-vis boys in Pakistan. Although every administration in Pakistan has claimed that it is ideologically committed to a notion of gender equality in education, yet discrimination against girls continue to exist.\nDifferent explanations have been offered to explain gender disparity in education. One major hypothesis is that feudal and/or semi-feudal norms and traditions are at the root of gender discrimination. This argument is very popular among the liberal segments of our society. But this hypothesis is rather weak. Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) has higher female enrolment at the secondary and higher levels of education vis-\u00e0-vis boys. The social formation of AJK can be characterised by semi-feudal and/or tribal norms and traditions.\nMoreover, the major shortcoming of conceptualising gender discrimination via feudal or semi-feudalism lies in its implicit assumption that capitalist development processes can end gender discrimination on their own. However, without active state intervention, gender discrimination cannot be challenged solely through market forces. In almost every developed country of the world, the state takes the responsibility of providing education to everyone at least up to grade 12. In those societies, private education only serves a portion of the elite segments of society.\nIn Pakistan, the common assumption seems to be that private education can be an alternative to public education \u2013 but this would exclude a majority of the population in Pakistan which can\u2019t afford quality private education.\nIt is argued that economic returns to education are low for girls in Pakistan and so parents allocate fewer resources to female education. Traditionally returns to education are captured by paid work. Because female participation in the labour force is low in Pakistan, returns to education are substantially low if conceptualised through paid market work alone. Economists have used this explanation to rationalise low investments in female education. Moreover, because traditionally after marriage girls live in the homes of their husbands, even if they do paid work their parents can\u2019t benefit financially from the income generated by girls.\nOn the contrary, investment in boys\u2019 education can be seen as insurance for parents because boys are expected to take care of their parents. Thus if one conceptualises gender discrimination in education through this channel, there is an obvious market failure \u2013 that social returns to education are substantially higher than private returns. The state must correct this market failure by stepping in. This could be done by increasing private returns to female education. From the policy perspective this implies that the government needs to financially incentivise parents \u2013 especially at those at the low end of the income spectrum \u2013 to educate their daughters.\nEnding gender discrimination in education is not only morally right and just but is also a socially optimum strategy. Learning and Educational Achievements in Punjab School (LEAPS) was a collaborative project of the World Bank and the government of Punjab in which extensive primary data was collected from more than 100 villages across Punjab from 2003 to 2006. The empirical evidence shows that children of educated mothers spend more time on studying outside school per day as compared to children of mothers with no education. Moreover, children of educated mothers perform better on standardised test scores than children of uneducated mothers.\nThis empirical evidence suggests that gender discrimination against women in education has a long-lasting negative impact on future generations as well. Therefore, ending gender discrimination through a set of feminist policies would enhance efficiency in both social and economic terms. An immediate task for all provincial and federal governments would be to launch an aggressive education policy targeting gender equality in school enrolments. This cannot be achieved until strong affirmative action policies are introduced for young girls, especially those who come from low income and rural households.\nMoreover, those segments of the body politic who are obsessed with the notion of meritocracy must be reminded that meritocracy requires a level playing field for all. In contemporary Pakistan, where discrimination against girls in education is widespread, the notion of meritocracy is nothing but a farce. For low-income households, productive assets like capital and land are beyond reach and their best bet of upward social mobility is education. But because girls are not given a fair shot at education, upward social mobility in Pakistan is a male phenomenon \u2013 if it even exists.\nOne of the stated objectives of the PML-N government is to improve economic efficiency in all sectors of the economy. And the federal government\u2019s privatisation drive of state-owned enterprises rests on this claim. But at the same time, PML-N government continues to overlook an inexorable aspect of inefficiency in education: gender discrimination against girls. Unless the issue of gender discrimination in education is addressed, any claims of improvements in economic efficiency would be incomplete.\nThe writer is a PhD candidate at the department of economics at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst.

One of the most common is for a person moving from adolescence to adulthood. This ritual can take many forms.\nA young person may leave their present circumstances, for example, and embark on tackling a challenge. The process involves them taking responsibility, making decisions and, when appropriate, returning with the fruits of their labours.\nSome rites of passage involve ceremonies that mark individuals crossing thresholds in life. These may include transitions involving puberty, adulthood, marriage, embarking on a specific career, being accepted by a community, being recognised by peers or gaining authority.\nHere are two dictionary definitions describing a rite of passage.\nAn important act or event that marks a person\u2019s passage from one stage of life to another.\nA ceremony performed to facilitate or mark a person\u2019s change of status upon any of several highly important occasions \u2013 such as the onset of puberty or entry into a marriage or clan.\nThis article looks at the first of these two themes. Looking back at your own life, for example, can you recall going through a significant experience that enabled you to take responsibility?\nYou may have taken your first job as a Saturday worker, spent several months travelling, embarked on a particular challenge or whatever. Whatever the experience you chose, in some way it acted as a rite of passage that enabled you to develop.\nLooking at my own life, for example, I was given the opportunity to work for six months as a housefather for mentally handicapped children. This called for taking responsibility, caring for other people and continuing to develop.\nDescribe a specific experience you have had had that acted as a rite of passage and enabled you to take responsibility.\nDescribe the specific things you did to take responsibility when going through this experience.\nDescribe the specific benefits of going through this experience.\nMany anthropologists and researchers have studied this phenomenon. One of the most famous was Arnold van Gennep.\nBelow is an excerpt Britannica.com that provides an introduction to his work. You can discover more via the following link.\nhttps://www.britannica.com/topic/rite-of-passage\nThe worldwide distribution of these rites long ago attracted the attention of scholars, but the first substantial interpretation of them as a class of phenomena was presented in 1909 by the French anthropologist and folklorist Arnold van Gennep who coined the phrase rites of passage.\nVan Gennep saw such rites as means by which individuals are eased, without social disruption, through the difficulties of transition from one social role to another.\nOn the basis of an extensive survey of preliterate and literate societies, van Gennep held that rites of passage consist of three distinguishable, consecutive elements:\n(Or, respectively, pre-liminal, liminal, and post-liminal stages before, at, and past the limen \u2013 Latin: \u201cthreshold\u201d.)\nThe person (or persons) on whom the rites centre is first symbolically severed from his old status, then undergoes adjustment to the new status during the period of transition, and is finally reincorporated into society in his new social status.\nAlthough the most commonly observed rites relate to crises in the life cycle, van Gennep saw the significance of the ceremonies as being social or cultural, celebrating important events that are primarily sociocultural or human-made rather than biological.\nDifferent people choose to embark on different experiences that act as a rite of passage. There are several conditions to bear in mind, however, if you ever want to help a person to go through such a journey. Let\u2019s explore these conditions.\nThe person chooses to take responsibility\nand embarks on tackling the challenge\nThis is the crucial step. The person must choose to embark on pursuing the adventure.\nSome individuals are proactive and seek out ways to expand their experience. They happily wave goodbye to the old world and enthusiastically throw themselves into the new challenge.\nSome individuals ponder for a long time before setting out on the journey. They may only cross a particular threshold, for example, when the promise of moving on far outweighs the pain of staying in the same place.\nThe person then goes through the process\nof separation, transition and development\nMoving into a new sphere can be difficult. This can be especially so for a person who was operating successfully in their previous environment.\nSuddenly they are in a new land where they do not know the rules. This transition can leave some people in limbo. Sometimes they long to go back to their previous sense of security.\nAfter awhile, however, they get to grips with the challenge. They become more self-managing, set goals and work hard to succeed. This enables them to grow in confidence and keep developing.\nThe person applies the\nlearning in their life or work\nDifferent people develop in different ways during such experiences. Some go through the stages of striving, surviving and then thriving. Looking back in later years, they may say things like:\nIt helped me to stand on my own two feet \u2026 It helped me to see things in perspective \u2026 It gave me the chance to create a new role in a place where nobody knew me.\nSome people go through stages similar to those that Joseph Campbell describes in his famous work on the Heroic Journey. Studying myths and legends from many civilisations, he found they often followed a similar structure. He described this in his book The Hero with a Thousand Faces. You can discover more about his work at the Joseph Campbell Foundation.\nhttp://www.jcf-myth.org/\nYou can learn more about Christopher Vogler\u2019s work via the following link to his web site.\nThe heroic journey involves many stages. But let\u2019s explore three overall steps that you may take, for example, when pursuing your chosen journey.\njourney towards the Grail\nIt may be an outward journey to an actual place: a labyrinth, forest or cave, a strange city or country, a new locale that becomes the arena for her conflict with antagonistic, challenging forces.\nOvercoming challenges, you finally stand on the edge of \u2018victory\u2019. You venture into what Campbell calls \u2018the inmost cave\u2019 and face the \u2018supreme ordeal\u2019. How will you behave in this moment of truth? For example, will you be generous or will you submit to greed? Will you fight, flee or flow?\nTranscending \u2013 lifting the Grail and\nLet\u2019s return to your own life and look to the future. Can you think of a situation in which you may want to help a person to embark on an experience that would enable them to take responsibility?\nThe person must want to embark on the adventure, but there may be things you can do to help them. They may want to travel abroad, work at Camp America, do voluntary work or test themselves physically or psychologically.\nHow can you encourage them to, in their own way, tackle the challenge? How can you give them enough distance to enable to stand on their own feet? How can you treat them with respect when they return from the journey?\nDescribe a person who you can, if appropriate, encourage to embark on an experience that they want to have and that will help them to continue to take responsibility.\nDescribe the specific things you can to do to encourage them to embark on and go through the experience.\nDescribe the specific benefits the person may get from going through this experience.",

        "raw_content": "Cheney had wireless heart device disabled as terror precaution\nWASHINGTON\u2014Former U.S. vice-president Dick Cheney says he once feared that terrorists could use the electrical device that had been implanted near his heart to kill him and had his doctor disable its wireless function.\nCheney has a history of heart trouble, suffering the first of five heart attacks at age 37. He underwent a heart transplant last year at age 71.\nIn an interview with CBS\u2019 60 Minutes, Cheney says doctors replaced an implanted defibrillator near his heart in 2007. The device can detect irregular heartbeats and control them with electrical jolts.\nCheney says that he and his doctor, cardiologist Jonathan Reiner, turned off the device\u2019s wireless function in case a terrorist tried to send his heart a fatal shock.\nYears later, Cheney watched an episode of the Showtime series Homeland in which such a scenario was part of the plot.\n\u201cI was aware of the danger, if you will, that existed, but I found it credible,\u201d Cheney tells 60 Minutes in a segment to be aired Sunday. \u201cBecause I know from the experience we had and the necessity for adjusting my own device that it was an accurate portrayal of what was possible.\u201d\nCheney and Reiner are promoting a book they co-authored, Heart: An American Medical Odyssey.\nIn the 60 Minutes interview, Reiner says he worried that Cheney couldn\u2019t stand the pressure that came on Sept. 11, 2001, the day terrorists attacked the U.S.\nMedical tests seen that morning showed Cheney had elevated levels of potassium in his blood, a condition called hyperkalemia, which could lead to abnormal heart rhythms and cardiac arrest.\nReiner says he watched news coverage of the day\u2019s events on television and thought, \u201cOh, great, the vice-president is going to die tonight from hyperkalemia.\u201d\nCheney underwent numerous heart-related procedures over the years, including angioplasties, catheterizations and a quadruple bypass. However, he says the health problems never affected his job performance during his eight years as vice-president in George W. Bush\u2019s administration.\nAsked on 60 Minutes if worried about his physical health impacting his judgment and cognition, Cheney replies, \u201cNo.\u201d\nHe says he was aware of potential side effects from limited blood flow to the brain and effects on cognition and judgment but didn\u2019t worry about it.\n\u201cYou know, I was as good as I could be, you know,\u201d Cheney says, \u201cgiven the fact I was 60-some years old at that point and a heart patient.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "We flew to the Hamptons like the 1% with Blade, an 'Uber-for-helicopters' startup \u2014 and it was as fabulous as it sounds\nA Blade helicopter lands at East Hampton Airport.\nGetting to the Hamptons can be a real drag, especially over big holiday weekends like Memorial Day.\nBlade, an aviation startup cofounded by former Sony and Warner Music Group exec Rob Wiesenthal and GroupMe cofounder Steve Martocci, aims to make it a little easier on you.\nBlade uses an app to crowdsource flights on helicopters and seaplanes that you can book seats on in an instant. Rather than have you spend hours on a slow train or in a cramped car, Blade's flights promise to get you out to the Hamptons in just 40 minutes.\nThough Blade started out with flights to the Hamptons, which remains its most popular destination, the startup has expanded to offer flights in many weekend getaway spots, including Nantucket, the Jersey Shore, and around different parts of Los Angeles. You can even snag a seat on a helicopter going to one of the New York area airports, a five-minute ride the company calls Blade Bounce.\nTickets range from $494 to $695 for a trip from Manhattan to the Hamptons, Blade's most popular destination. For a few hundred dollars more, you can do a custom charter flight to a destination of your choice, and you can even choose to fly on a faster aircraft if you'd like. A one-way ticket on Blade One, the company's private jet service from New York to Miami, costs about $2,200.\nSocialites, celebrities, and elite businesspeople are catching on \u2014 Laura Prepon, Jon Hamm, and Olivia Palermo are just a few of the big names that have been spotted in one of Blade's luxury lounges in Manhattan. The company's investors include Kenneth Lerer, Discovery Communications' David Zaslav, Google's Eric Schmidt, IAC's Barry Diller, and iHeart Media's Bob Pittman.\nBlade treated us to a trip to the Hamptons on a late summer evening in 2015. Here's how lots of wealthy New Yorkers will be getting out to the Hamptons this summer.\nOur journey began in Blade's 34th Street lounge, where we found a comfortable setup of couches and stools along a sleek bar. \"You can't beat the on-demand aspect,\" Jarrett, a Blade customer who works in Manhattan real estate, told me.\nCustomer experience (or C/X in Blade lingo) representatives Jessica Rooney and Erin Mulcahy were there to help. They're wearing uniforms that were custom designed by Jimmy Choo founder Tamara Mellon just for Blade.\nThe C/X team has worn several different retro-inspired uniforms. \"My inspiration for Blade harkens back to the days when I was a young child and my parents would dress me up to get on a plane,\" Wiesenthal, Blade's cofounder and CEO, said to Business Insider in 2016.\nHe added: \"It was the golden age of aviation \u2014 the '60s to early '70's, the Jack Kennedy, Frank Sinatra era \u2014 when getting on a jet plane was a big deal and an adventure. Not everybody did it. And there was always a story attached to it.\"\nOnce you check in, you'll get a wristband that corresponds to your flight.\nYou'll also get a luggage tag to match the wristband. As you might expect, the bags on the rack in the Blade lounge were a little more high-end than what you might find at your standard transit depot.\nAfter you're all checked in, guests are encouraged to mosey on over to the bar for a drink.\nThe Blade drink of choice is a ros\u00e9. So that you don't have to worry about spilling during your flight, Blade serves the ros\u00e9 in a specialty sippy cup. \"When we first launched Blade, we weren\u2019t sure about the availability of helicopters from our operators,\" Wiesenthal said. \"To protect ourselves from delays, and to keep down the nerves of our customers, we started serving ros\u00e9.\"\nMany of the lounge's decorations are reminiscent of the '60s and '70s. Blade operates several different lounges: on West 30th Street and Wall Street in Manhattan, and in Miami, East Hampton, and Nantucket.\nWiesenthal's entertainment background obviously played a big role in his founding of Blade. \"We're trying to make an emotional connection to the consumer,\" he said. Here he is with Alena Martanovicova (left) and Rooney (right), members of the C/X team.\nClick here to read more about Rob Wiesenthal \u00bb\nAs we relaxed in the lounge, we could see passengers boarding helicopters just outside the window. The reason Blade is able to offer so many on-demand flights is that the platform supports routes from different operators in the New York area. One of those operators is Liberty Helicopter, which you can see here.\nThe East River is a busy waterway, which makes for an exciting takeoff.\nIn addition to its four types of helicopters, Blade has added several seaplanes to its fleet.\nThis small card with my name on it guaranteed me a spot on the 4:30 flight to East Hampton.\nAs we prepared for takeoff, the choppy waters of the East River rocked the seaplane back and forth.\nBut once we were airborne, we were treated to this incredible view.\nThe aerial shot of a Blade sippy cup has become something of a status symbol in certain social circles.\nIf you search the #flyblade hashtag on Instagram, you'll find hundreds of shots with the signature cup. This was a conscious effort by Blade. \"Our original seed funding did not leave a lot of room for marketing. We quickly realized our demographic was much younger, and they were all on Instagram,\" Wiesenthal said.\nIt only took us about 35 minutes to get to East Hampton on the seaplane, and we had incredible views the whole way.\nBut once we were seeing estates with their own swimming pools and tennis courts, we knew we were getting close.\nAs we waited at the East Hampton Airport, more and more Blade-branded flights continued to touch down on the tarmac. Since I took my flight, Blade has added services to a whole slew of destinations: Nantucket, the Jersey Shore, Los Angeles, Millbrook, Newport, Atlantic City, and Litchfield County, Connecticut.\nThe company has also introduced a service that can take customers between Sag Harbor and Shelter Island by boat, which costs $95 a seat, as well as partnerships for various events like Coachella.\nIn April, it announced a partnership with Delta Air Lines to streamline the transfer process for passengers flying in and out of New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport. Delta passengers arriving to JFK, including from Los Angeles, San Francisco, and London, can arrange to be met on the jet bridge by Delta's Elite Services team, who will gather their checked luggage and bring them to an awaiting Blade car on the tarmac. That car then brings them to a Blade helicopter, which will get them to Manhattan in less than 10 minutes.\nAs we made our way back to the city by chopper, I wondered what it would be like to do this every weekend.\nI'm far from owning a house in the Hamptons, but I could see why someone with much more disposable income would prefer this glamorous experience to hours sitting in traffic on the Long Island Expressway.\nMore: Features Blade Helicopters Hamptons",

        "title": "Timur Akhmetov: Russia in the strategic culture of Iran",
        "raw_content": "Moscow and Tehran seem to have forged a strong alliance that can possibly save the Assad regime from otherwise imminent downfall. Syrian conflict demonstrates that powers like Russia and Iran, despite all existing contradictions between them, are willing to tolerate each other. To understand the nature of their bilateral cooperation we should look at how Iran perceives Russia and what place Moscow takes in Tehran\u2019s national security policy.\nAny analysis of a security policy would require a sophisticate theoretical tool, in our case we will use a strategic culture approach to see what Iranian security policy looks like. According to its generally accepted definition, a strategic culture is an ideational framework, in which major decision makers outline national security policy. A strategic culture is regarded as a set of non-formal, highly abstract and symbolic ideas and notions, which nevertheless play a significant role in the decision making process.\nToo big to ignore, too important to reject\nIranian regime after it was established during the so-called Islamic Revolution in 1979 found itself involved in a number of the regional conflicts, starting from the disastrous war with the Saddam Iraq in 1980-1988 to proxy wars with Israel. Often Iranian regime showed its preference to wage protracted conflicts of low intensity, where primary goal is to exhaust its enemy and defeat its will to fight further. Such conflicts of exhaustion require enormous diplomatic cover to shield Iran from outside pressure. Moscow\u2019s vast diplomatic resources, especially its veto power in the UN Security Council, make Russia a valuable partner for Iran, who is struggling to expand and protect its positions in Syria and Yemen.\nMoreover, as we know Iranian regime\u2019s worldview is based on the staunch opposition to the Western domination in the region. Iranian involvement in major conflicts in the region sought to challenge Western allies militarily. This rendered necessity to use military technologies that would be on par with the western ones. Since the fall of the USSR, Russia has been one of the world leaders in the arms exports. Technological and military cooperation between Iran and Russia, therefore, also has to strengthen Tehran\u2019s military capabilities and its positions in future confrontations.\nNevertheless, it would be prudent to claim that Iran is driving itself into full dependence on Russia. When dealing with Russian-Iranian relations one should consider that Tehran views its ties with Moscow just as a mere part of a broader set of relations with non-western powers, like Turkey, Pakistan or China. The latter is also, like Russia, a UN SC veto power with enormous military potential. In addition to that, Peking can offer Tehran things that Moscow doesn\u2019t have \u2013 lucrative credits and incredible economic, trade and technological opportunities.\nEnough reasons to dislike Moscow\nPolitical elites in Iran, who are responsible for defining main precepts of the national security policy, have to build their decisions upon major principles of the Iranian Revolution and guiding doctrines developed by its leaders. Iranian regime tries to defend itself from inside and outside threats, meanwhile acting pro-actively in the region. Tehran\u2019s revolutionary, anti-colonial, anti-western activism blended together with the Islamic zeal produced a unique foreign policy vision.\nIran sees the Middle East as a region that has long been suffering from outside interventions. According to this worldview, current problems of the region are brought and caused by the West. A viable solution to the most evils in the Middle East is to drive all outside powers from the region and give the local population the right to decide their own fate.\nFor Iran, Russia is one of those outside powers that attempt to settle down in the region and manipulate political processes in the Middle East. To make things worse, Russia, despite Tehran\u2019s muted resentment, seeks to pursue its national interests by playing an active role in Syria \u2013 \u201ca golden chain\u201d of the Iranian sphere of influence.\nBut for Iran, Russia is not just an outside power. Moscow\u2019s foreign policy embodies Western domination over the non-western world. With its exclusive positions within the international organizations and close diplomatic ties to other western countries Russia represents a part of the modern colonial system. Besides, Iranians still remember the dramatic history of relations with their northern neighbor, when Russian Empire and Soviet Union on multiple occasions invaded Iran to secure its political interests in this country.\nEven more, current cooperation between Iran and Russia is complicated by their different religious affiliations. Russia is a predominantly Christian country with a strong religious identity that recently started to come to the forefront in the Russian foreign policy discourse. Moscow not only has troubles in accommodating Muslim population at home, it also signals internationally that it ready to coordinate its efforts in Syria with Israel, an archenemy of the Iranian regime.\nSo why Iran tolerates proactive Russia\nThe main reason behind Iran\u2019s tolerant approach to the Russian active engagement in Syria lies in Tehran\u2019s awareness of fundamental weaknesses in Moscow\u2019s positions in the Middle East.\nFirst of them is the absence of broad military capacities or political will for a long-term presence in the region that eventually can threaten Iranian ambitions. Indeed, Russia demonstrated its ability to send and deploy troops, but one should really doubt Moscow\u2019s ability to sustain its substantial presence over a longer period. Also, Russia can\u2019t manage events on the ground single-handedly - its presence requires considerable assistance of Damascus and Tehran.\nAnother factor, which is generally overlooked by the experts, is that Russian has no established system of alliances in the region. The only regional players that are so far ready to cooperate with Moscow and tolerate its ambitions are Damascus and Tehran. Also, if we take into account Russia\u2019s strained relations with Turkey and a lack of history of cooperation with Saudi-Arabia, we realize that Tehran is Moscow\u2019s only available option to get into the Middle East and be anchored in this region.\nFinally, Iran accepts Russian engagement in Syria and even its broader participation in the regional political processes also due to the fact that Russia doesn\u2019t have enough humanitarian and economic resources to expand its positions so that to threaten Iranian interests in the Middle East. Besides its appeal to the local Orthodox Christians, Moscow has not yet presented any ideological models or set of ideas attractive to the local population. In short, Russia doesn\u2019t have soft power necessary to act as a trend-setting actor in the Middle East.\nWhen looking at the heart of Russian-Iranian cooperation we see that Tehran\u2019s tolerance for the Russian proactive policy in Syria is based on the understanding that without Russian resources Iranian regime would not be able to pursue its foreign policy goals and uphold its national security. Acceptance is also rooted in the understanding of Moscow\u2019s genuine motifs behind such activism in the region. Finally, Iran seems to accept an alliance with Russia mainly because it is aware of profound limitations of the Russian positions in the Middle East.\nLabels: China, Egypt, English, EU, Iran, Israel, Putin, Russia, Syria, Turkey, UN, USA, USSR",

While the business case for solar in a sunny place like Queensland is a no-brainer for many organisations hoping to gain some relief from rising energy costs, for businesses in North Queensland in particular, solar energy provides a solution helping protect one of their region\u2019s most valuable and most vulnerable natural wonders, the Great Barrier Reef.\nEarlier this month, the 2018 budget was laid out and affirmed that there is no plan to reinvest in the Renewable Energy Target (RET) beyond its 2020 deadline, though there was $443.8 million to invest in research on coral reef restoration in order to build the Great Barrier Reef\u2019s resilience to the bleaching and extreme weather associated with climate change.\nReducing greenhouse gases (GHG\u2019s) through promoting clean energy has long been a cornerstone of governments worldwide for tackling the issue of climate change. Now businesses and property owners like Radiography Services are hurrying to get projects in the pipeline to install their projects while certificates (STC\u2019s and LGC\u2019s) are high while have an additional call to action to protect the Reef through reducing CO2 emissions.\nA common side effect of global climate change, other than hotter temperatures, is more severe weather. That will not be a problem for Radiography Service\u2019s system, which was specially designed by Todae Solar\u2019s award-winning engineering team to withstand the cyclonic winds of the region.\n\u201cOur property\u2019s roof is over 3000 square meters of flat metal roofing that would heat up in the blistering Cairns sun and radiate the heat energy down to the tenants below,\u201d says Ben Gale, the property manager for Radiography Services. \u201cConsequently we had to have 4 massive 96K/W air-condition working overtime in attempt to keep the building cool. Todae Solar offered a solution the harnessed those suns rays using high-quality solar panels to provide clean energy to the property with the added benefit of offering shading to a large portion of the roof. With a cooler roof, reduced energy consumption and a massive reduction in power bills it was a win-win situation all round.\u201d\nOnce turned on next month, the 100kW system will generate an estimated 152,000kWh of clean electricity \u2013 helping offset the equivalent of powering 25 houses for one year. Over 20 years, the estimated carbon offset is 2,250 tonnes.\nWhile installing solar has been growing in popularity amongst property owners for the benefits to tenants and the bottom line, for this building so close to the Great Barrier Reef, sustainability was a key factor. Solar offers property owners many additional benefits including tenant satisfaction and increasing the Green Star rating of their building. The tenants, Radiography Services, will also benefit from the boost to their green credentials for sustainability-minded clients.\nTodae Solar congratulates Radiography Services on leading the way towards a cleaner and brighter future for the Great Barrier Reef through investing in renewables. Sustainability is at the core of our business. If you are interested in reducing your business\u2019s environmental impact while saving tens of thousands of dollars on electricity costs, contact Todae Solar for a free, no-obligation quote.",

        "raw_content": "A Love of Flight Since Childhood\nThe first museum Michael Kolk ever visited was the Air Force Museum in Dayton, Ohio. Even though he was only four years old at the time, his mother, Patti, said, \u201cI know that made quite an impact on him.\u201d\nIn fact, that trip to the museum may have led to Michael\u2019s lifelong love of flight and eventual enlistment in the Air Force Reserve.\nWhen Patti found out that Michael wanted to join the Military, she supported him, especially since she didn\u2019t think he was the type of person who would be happy working in an office. She said, \u201cI couldn\u2019t see him sitting behind a desk at a 9-to-5 job. He is someone that needs to be not only utilizing his brain but also the physical aspects. The Military is a perfect combination of those two things.\u201d\nMichael was especially interested in the Air Force Reserve because it would give him the chance to have two careers. Patti said, \u201cHe could pursue another career\u2026 It would just enhance his life more than he could ever dream of.\u201d\nA Global Cultural Education\nSoon after Michael signed his papers and took the Oath of Enlistment, he went to Basic Military Training. Several weeks later, Patti attended his graduation. She said, \u201cI was as proud as a parent could be. He was doing something that he felt he needed to do, that he wanted to do and this was the direction he wants to go. And that\u2019s my job as a parent, to bring him up and give him the tools to help him find the kind of life that he would like to lead.\u201d\nI was so thrilled for him for being able to meet his dreams.\nMichael, who works on computers for the Air Force Reserve, has been deployed to Iraq. His deployment has broadened Patti\u2019s horizons as well. Once she heard about his deployment, her whole family started learning about the nation, and Patti even tried her hand at making Iraqi cuisine. She said, \u201cWe really wanted to understand the religion of the area, the traditions, the whole culture. I think that helped us a lot to make it a more human experience.\u201d\nA Son's Dreams Accomplished\nMichael is a paramedic in his civilian life, and his military experience has served him well in this job. Patti said, \u201cHe has to keep his cool in very dire situations at times\u2026 You need to be prepared for anything to happen.\u201d When his deployment is over, Michael will be able to return to his civilian career. Since members of the Reserve and Guard components often have civilian careers, their employers must hold their jobs for them while they are deployed.\nIn the future, Michael plans to stay in the Air Force Reserve, attend nursing school and become an oncology nurse. Patti said, \u201cNo matter how long he is here on this earth, he really wants every activity that he does, all of his energy, to go toward others.\u201d\nWhen thinking about her son\u2019s decision to serve, Patti sometimes reflects on the museum trip that influenced her son\u2019s path. She remembered how Michael looked at the planes on the tarmac, and she said, \u201cI was so thrilled for him for being able to meet his dreams.\u201d",

Tulp, who is stationed in California, is trained as an intensive care nurse for the Army Reserve, and he is also a flight nurse in his civilian life.\nMembers of the Army Reserve receive the same training as active-duty Soldiers, and they drill regularly to maintain their skills.\nArmy Reserve Jobs: Medical & Emergency\nCapt. Shawn Tulp: Say, like, you find an adult who's down on the ground. How long should you wait before you call for help? You come by, you notice he's unconscious.\nStudent 1: Right away.\nCapt. Shawn Tulp: That's right, call right away. So you're going to look, listen and feel. You're going to listen very \u2014 listen for your air. You're going to watch for the rise and fall of the chest. If I don't hear anything, I'm going to deliver two breaths. Once you establish that there's no pulse, that's when we begin our 30-to-two compressions. So when you start CPR, you're going to count up one and two and three and four and five. How long do you think you can last doing this?\nStudent 2: A couple minutes.\nCapt. Shawn Tulp: Yeah, it'll wear you out. It will definitely wear you out. All right, so on top of CPR we also have another something that helps us out a lot. We have an automated external defibrillator, an AED. Now the function of the AED is to do one thing and one thing only, and that is to defibrillate lethal rhythms. When you turn it on your AED, and I wish this one would work, it'll tell you exactly the steps to do. First thing it'll tell you is say, \"apply the pads.\" Then you'll plug in your machine. It'll say, \"analyzing rhythm.\" It takes about five to 10 seconds. At that point you have a little button you press. Now, before you press that button, be nice to everybody that's around you. Tell them to clear the patient. Then we press the shock button. They will jump. It's hard to mess up, and it's designed for the lay rescuer. Any questions?",

        "raw_content": "Barry, not his real name, often stopped by to chat about life.His. The experience is not uncommon for pastors. Over time I learned that Barry, a great conversation partner, battled bi-polar disorder. So long as Barry took his prescribed medicine, and did not mix it with alcohol, he functioned quite well.\nBut, when Barry, for whatever reason, chose not to take his medicine, or he opted for a cold beer on a hot summer day, he did not get along with his world very well. In retrospect, I am confident no one really knew what to do. Barry talked about talking to God. He came to church from time to time. He did not want to \u201cgo back,\u201d a reference to a mental hospital. Yes, that dates the events.\nIncidentally, I learned others suffered from what would fall under the broad umbrella, mental health issue. Maybe their experience was not as pronounced as Barry\u2019s. It could be a matter of severity or kind. But, the experience in those days helped me, a young pastor, realize all of the caricatures, stereotypes, and purported \u201ccures,\u201d were not really helpful.\nMy last encounter with Barry came at the end of one of his more troubling times. He left, which is to say he \u201cwent back.\u201d We moved.\nChurches would do well to become more aware, sensitive, and resourceful to and for those who suffer mental illness. I am glad to post about Sarah Griffith Lund\u2019s new book published by Chalice Press, Blessed Are the Crazy: Breaking the Silence About Mental Illness, Family and Church. I have not yet read the book but the recommendation of my friend Steve Knight and the audacity to write a personal story in hopes that Churches might be helped is motivation enough for me to suggest looking into this new resource.\nConfession. I hesitated to post. I have friends who suffer. Over my nearly 30 years as pastor I have known many. I feared adding to discomfort and pain. I worried that some might think I write with them in mind. I nearly let my own fears become an oppressive silencing. Then, after reading the purpose for which Sarah wrote, I knew I had to post. Silence paralyzes. It keeps those who suffer from speaking. It keeps Churches from offering a place of refuge and hope.\nHere is Sarah\u2019s post from today \u2013 Stronger Together. Other posts on Sarah\u2019s book and the subject of Mental Health Awareness Week\nMy prayer . . . Lord Have Mercy on Us for always assuming the worst about those whom we do not understand. Make us empathetic rather than judgmental. Provide safe places where silence does not rule and punish. Create of other human beings fleshy expressions of your care and peace. May those others be us.\nThe Difference A Health Post Makes\nSo You\u2019ve Had a Bad Day \u2013 Le...\nRevisit Liberation Theologies?\nNo One Is Immune \u2013 Marty Duren On the Unthinkable",

However, as per mythology Khajuraho temples was built by the son of MON God who saw a beautiful maiden taking bath in a stream. Today out of 85 temples which were originally built, on;y 20 remain. Iit is out of these 20 the Kandariya Mahadeva is the most famous one.\nThe temples here were originally built 35 kms from the medieval city of Mahoba, in Kalinjar region. This beautiful city founds mention in Abu Rihan \u2013 al-Biruni \u2013 the Persain historian\u2019s writings. It is said that these were in use till 12th century. However, after the attack of Muslim Sultan Qutb-ud-din-aibak and thereafter fall of Chandela reign, they were slowly abandoned.\nOne can also find mention of these beautiful idols in memoirs of Ibn Battuta, the Moroccan traveler who describes them as \u201ccontains idols that have been mutilated by the Moslems, live a number of yogis whose matted locks have grown as long as their bodies.\nMost of the structures of Khajuraho are made out of sandstone. However, the uniqueness is in the fact that no mortar has been used to join the stones. Stones were put together using mortise and tenon joints and held in place by gravity. Over 90% of the sculptures depict daily life as well as symbolic values as per ancient Indian culture. What can be seen here is hybrid imaginary animals with lions body, hybrid of wolf and lion and hybrid of elephant and lion are called Vyalas. Today these are maintained by Archeological Survey of India and monitored by World Heritage Convention under the pact of UNESCO World heritage Sites treaty.\nShopping in Khajuraho\nTemples in Khajuraho\nMuseums in Khajuraho\nTourist Attraction Khajuraho\nSame Day - Khajuraho Temple Tour\n2 Days - Khajuraho Tour\n3 Days - Khajuraho Private Tour from Delhi",

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb Lakshadweep \u00bb History Of Lakshadweep\nThe history of Lakshadweep is based on different legends. According to which, the first settlement on these islands is the Local traditions during the rule of last king of Kerala, Cheraman Perumal. At the request of some Arab merchants, he converted to Islam. He then silently moved out of his capital Cranganore, which is presently known as Kodungallor for Mecca. Groups of people went out for the shores of Mecca in search of the king, when his disappearance came into notice.\nAccording to believe, the king\u2019s boat was stricken by a violent storm and was shipwrecked on the island, which is better known as Bangaram at present. They took shelter in the island of Agatti, nearby Bangaram and returned to the mainland when the weather improved. They sighted other islands on the way. Another group of sailors is said to have occupied the Amini, after they left and settled there.\nThe people sent were said to be Hindus and still Hinduism exists in these islands regardless of Islam. According to Legends, at first, the islands of Amini, Andrott, Kavaratti, and Kalpeni were occupied by small settlements and then people gradually moved the other islands like Agatti, Chetlat, Kiltan, and Kadmat.\nIt was round the year 41 Hijra, in 7th Century that Islam arrived. It is a global belief that St.Ubaidullah fell asleep while praying at Mecca and dreamt that Prophet Mohammed wanted him to leave for Jeddah from where he had to take a ship to visit far off places. So, he left Jeddah on a ship but came across a storm after sailing for months and his ship wrecked near the small Islands of Lakshadweep. He reached the shore of Amini island, where he fell asleep and dreamt of the Prophet again. This time, the Prophet asked him to spread Islam throughout the Island. That is why Ubaidullah started spreading Islam on that island, which enraged its chief, who ordered Ubaidullah to leave the island. But St. Ubaidullah didn\u2019t leave the island and stood firm.\nOn the island, a young woman fell in love with St. Ubaidullah. He then named her Hameedat Beebi before marrying her. After this incident, the chief became furious and decided to kill him. The legend says Ubaidullah and his wife were surrounded to be killed by the chief and his supporters. At that time St.Ubaidullah prayed to the Almighty and suddenly the people became blind. They regained their vision when St.Ubaidullah and his wife disappeared and left the island for Andrott. After reaching and settling on this island, he continued his mission of conversion. He had to face the same opposition and protest but finally he succeeded in converting them to Islam. He then went to other islands and converted the inhabitants successfully. After this, he returned back to Andrott, where he died. He was buried and his grave became a sacred place.\nThe island of Laccadives became important with the arrival of the Portuguese in India. It was then that the islands were plundered. The only thing in demand was finely spun coir, for which the island vessels were looted by the Portuguese. In the earlier part of 16th century, the Portuguese forcibly landed in the island of Amini to procure coir but they were poisoned by the people of the island. Thus, it ended the Portuguese invasion.\nThough the entire island was converted into Islam but the Hindu Rajah of Chirakkal had the control over the island for some time, which slipped into the hands of the Muslim in the middle of 16th century. The Arakkal rule is said to be oppressive and unbearable, so some of the inhabitants from Amini went to meet Tipu Sultan, at Mangalore, in the year 1783. They requested him to take over the Administration of Amini. As Tipu Sultan had friendly relations with Beebi of Arakkel, he was handed over the administration of Amini after deliberations. The islands of suzerainty were then divided into five and ruled by Tipu Sultan whereas, the rest were controlled by the Arakkal house.\nIn 1799, after the battle of Seringapattom, the British East India Company occupied the islands. A severe cyclone hit the island of Andrott in 1847, when Raja of Chirakkal visited the island accompanied by Sir William Robinson (an officer of the East India Company) to inspect the damages and also to distribute relief. But on reaching Andrott, the Rajah had to take loan from Sir William in order to meet all the needs of the people. After four years, when the interest raised the British asked him to repay the loan, which he could not. As a result, he had to hand over the administration of all the islands to the East India Company, in 1854.\nThe British adopted methods to exploit the profits from these islands in order to strengthen their own political and economic interests, instead of forming a good government. The British later came up with the Lakshadweep Regulation 1912, which limited the legal and commanding power of Amins or Karanis of the islands. The regulation also stopped the entry of outsiders. The brighter side of the colonial rule was that it established few dispensaries and 9 Primary Schools in the islands.\nIt was in the year 1956 that the Union Territory was formed and was later named as Lakshadweep in 1973.",

        "title": "8 things we tell kids, but should listen to ourselves | TreeHugger",
        "raw_content": "8 things we tell kids, but should listen to ourselves\nLessons from our parents hold value even in adulthood.\n\"Stop complaining!\" \"Eat your vegetables!\" \"Mind your own business!\" Every parent has an arsenal of phrases that they can whip out at key times to remind a kid of proper behavior. These are valuable mini lessons that most of us heard as children (and probably hated), but now use with our own offspring. But what if we started using them on ourselves? Even as adults, we could benefit from paying close attention to what these phrases mean.\nThis is the gist of a smart article called \"15 Things We Like to Tell Kids (That We Don\u2019t Listen to Ourselves)\" by Matt of Method to Your Money. After seeing someone post on Twitter, \"You get what you get, and you don't get upset,\" he wrote,\n\"You know that feeling you get when you have to eat your own words and chow down on humble pie? I had used those exact words with my own kids on a daily basis, but knew I hadn\u2019t always practiced what I\u2019d preached... If we\u2019re going to give advice to kids and actually expect them to take it, we should be living that advice out ourselves. After all, more is CAUGHT than is TAUGHT!\"\nSo, which kid-friendly phrases could improve our adult lives in a variety of ways, from physical health and personal relationships to financial responsibility and environmental stewardship? Let's start with the ones I mentioned above.\nI say this multiple times a day to my kids because I want them to be optimists, cheerful, capable of handling any situation without succumbing to self-pity. And yet, there are countless occasions when I succumb to negativity, complaining about everything from the weather to having to wait at a stoplight to feeling tired. This inhibits my ability to see the good in each day, and also to stay focused on what I can do to improve my situation. It's particularly relevant when fighting the seemingly insurmountable challenge that climate change poses. Complaining about it won't get us anywhere; action will.\n2. Eat your vegetables.\nRemember when you had to finish your broccoli before you got any dessert? One of the fun aspects of adulthood is being able to eat whatever and whenever you want, but too often this can degrade into unhealthy eating habits that are driven by cravings, rather than meeting nutritional needs. Take a page out of your parents' book and prioritize whole, fresh, seasonal foods before indulging in anything sweet.\n3. Worry about yourself, not others.\nMy kids have a bad habit of arguing when they're assigned a task, fretting about how it compares to their sibling's. I often repeat the above phrase, reminding them that it doesn't matter, that all they need to do is focus on themselves and put forward their best possible effort. The same applies to adults. We spend a disproportionate amount of time \"keeping up with the Joneses,\" driving personal consumption that is damaging to the environment and to our wallets. Forget about comparing yourself to others and \"be happy with what you have\" (another one!).\n4. You'll thank me for this someday.\nThis annoying yet accurate phrase is likely familiar to most, reminding us of the uncomfortable or unpleasant tasks we had to perform as children because they contained valuable lessons. Adulthood, on the other hand, is often perceived as a time of relative freedom, when one can do whatever one wants without following strict rules. But what if we went back to some of those rules, acknowledging that temporary discomfort can lead to long-term gain? Think of piggy banks, gym class, early bedtimes, daily recess and instrument practice, etc. These all have beneficial adult equivalents.\n5. Money doesn't grow on trees.\nOr, \"We can't afford that.\" Adults, however, have access to credit, which means we don't say that often enough because we assume it'll get paid off over time. What if we returned to a more cash-based economy where we save up for purchases -- and don't make them if we don't have the money in a bank account? I bet stress levels and work hours would be much reduced, as would resource consumption and trash creation.\n6. Have you done your homework?\nA bit of research can put you miles ahead. In the article that inspired this one, which looks at these phrases through a financial lens, writer Matt asks three homework-related questions:\n- Do you know how much you\u2019re paying in interest on your debt?\n- How much are your investment fees?\n- Do you know how much you\u2019ll need to retire?\nIf you don't know that answers to these, get studying.\n7. Think of the starving children.\nI always hated this phrase as a kid because it made no sense. Nobody was going to mail my cold mashed potatoes overseas for a hungry kid to eat, but what I've realized since is that the underlying message is to be grateful for what I have and not to take anything for granted. After writing for TreeHugger for so many years, I'd also interpret this literally, as a reminder not to waste food, which is a colossal problem and squandering of resources.\nKids are notorious for acting without thinking, but adults do it too -- except they aren't hauled off for punishment afterward. All too often we fail to think through the full consequences of our actions, whether it's impulsive purchases of luxury goods, careless behavior that alienates friends or harms the environment, or poor dietary choices that accumulate over time and affect personal health. It's important to think through one's decisions, or, as the trendy catch-phrase goes, to \"live mindfully.\"\n5 ways to be an awesome parent\nWhat to say if someone challenges your free-range parenting",

The information is used to monitor trends and manage the state's turkey population.\nParticipants are asked to keep an eye out for wild turkeys as they work and play in Iowa during July and August.\nVolunteers are asked to distinguish adult females from males and young poults. They're then asked to count the number of adults and young turkeys and make a note of the date and the county in which they were seen. That info is then reported to the Wildlife Bureau using at http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/2115256/IowaWildTurkeyReports using a computer or smartphone.\nItems from old Muscatine library go on auction block\nMUSCATINE \u2014 Over 100 items from an old library in Muscatine have gone on the auction block.\nThe items \u2014 including chairs, tables, bookshelves, and even a couple of plants \u2014 did not make the move from the old Musser Public Library to its new location on 2nd Street.\nNow, the items can be found online, where the public can bid on them through July 20.\nThe public auction site can be found at publicsurplus.com.\nIllinois agencies recovering a year after budget impasse\nSPRINGFIELD, Ill. \u2014 A year after Illinois lawmakers ended a historic state budget impasse, social service agencies and other providers hardest hit by funding cuts said they're starting to recover.\nThe providers said some rate increases approved in fiscal 2018 and 2019 isn't enough to undo all the damage.\n\"There are definitely less services,\" said Judith Gethner, executive director of Chicago-based Illinois Partners for Human Service.\nThe impasse led to layoffs and those positions haven't been filled, Gethner said.\nGethner said the crisis has also left many nonprofits leery about spending to replace employees or restore programs. She said many of the organizations are having issues recruiting qualified professionals, who are willing to work in such an environment.\n\"We are finding ourselves stretched in a really horrific way,\" Gethner said.\nLawmakers resolved the impasse with a 32 percent income-tax increase, which passed over Gov. Bruce Rauner's veto. Illinois' overall backlog of bills stands at nearly $6.4 billion, according to the state comptroller's office.\nIllinois to get $16M in federal money for community service\nSPRINGFIELD, Ill. \u2014 Sixteen community service programs in Illinois will receive more than $16 million dollars in federal funding.\nThe federal Corporation for National and Community Service is distributing $11.6 million to help more than 900 AmeriCorps members conduct community projects and pay college costs and student loans after completing their service.\nDemocratic U.S. Sens. Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth of Illinois said in a statement that another $4.8 million in federal money will go to Serve Illinois . That's the commission that administers AmeriCorps in the state.\nThe money will go to 10 sites in Chicago and for projects in Belleville, Dixon, East St. Louis, Evanston, Ina and Peoria.\nDuckworth says helping rebuild homes after a disaster or aiding education programs is just as critical an \"American service\" as military service.",

It made the announcement in Vancouver, British Columbia at the CanSecWest security conference, one of The State of Security\u2018s five gems in the world of information security conferences.\nAs quoted on its bug bounty page:\n\u201cWe want to encourage researchers to identify issues and bring them to us directly so that we can take prompt steps to evaluate and correct them, and we want to recognize researchers for the work that they put in when researching a vulnerability. By partnering constructively with the security research community, we believe we will be better able to protect our customers.\u201d\nHackerOne, a platform which already manages the bug bounty programs for entities ranging from Twitter to the Pentagon and Army, is now responsible for managing Intel\u2019s initiative.\nThis latest reporting program applies to Intel\u2019s software, firmware, and hardware with a few notable exceptions. For instance, bug bounty hunters stand to gain nothing from exploring Intel Security (McAfee) products for vulnerabilities. The company has also deemed third-party products and open source, its web infrastructure, and acquisitions that it\u2019s held for less than six month off-limits.\nResearchers can net some respectable rewards for responsibly disclosing flaws they find in Intel\u2019s in-scope products. For instance, with a CVSS 3.0 calculator determining a vulnerability\u2019 base score, participants in the program could earn as much as $30,000 for reporting a \u201cCritical\u201d hole in the company\u2019s hardware. \u201cCritical\u201d bugs found in firmware and software could gain for researchers awards with a maximum value of $10,000 and $7,500, respectively. Even reporting \u201cLow\u201d-severity vulnerabilities comes with an award that ranges in value from $500 to $1,000.\nIn this day and age, it\u2019s important that every company and organization with the means to do so follows in Intel\u2019s lead and launches a bug bounty program.

        "raw_content": "TSP Legal > News > Update: Director in Contempt of Court\nA recent High Court decision highlights the potential penal consequences for company directors of failing to comply with an injunction. The court held that two companies (and a director of both companies) were in contempt of court for failing to comply with an injunction that required the companies to remove an estimated 3000 cigarette bins containing advertisements for the companies which had been erected without advertisement consent.\nThe injunction had been sought by a Council following the companies\u2019 failure to take any action to remove the advertisements, despite having been found guilty of an offence in earlier criminal proceedings for displaying the advertisements without the Council\u2019s express consent. Although the judgment does not indicate what penalties were ordered in this case, it is understood that both the companies and the director were fined but, the director avoided a prison sentence.\nWhat is an injunction? An injunction is an order of the Court that:\nrequires a party to do something (known as a mandatory injunction), or\nrequires a party to stop doing something (known as a prohibitory injunction)\nWhat is contempt of court? An individual will be in contempt of court if they interfere with the administration of justice. Deliberately breaching a Court order may be a contempt of Court. Sanctions for contempt of court include:\nOr all of these\nEstablishing that someone is in contempt of court: To establish that someone is in contempt of court, it is necessary to prove that he:\nKnew of the terms of the court order\nActed (or failed to act) in a manner that involved a breach of the court order\nKnew of the facts which made his conduct a breach of the court order\nThe content of this update is for general information only and does not constitute legal advice.

        "raw_content": "South Carolina woman allegedly killed husband by putting eye drops in drinking water\nABC NEWS - A South Carolina woman was charged with murder after she allegedly poisoned her husband by putting eye drops in his drinking water, police said.\nLana Clayton, 52, confessed to killing her husband, Stephen Clayton, after an autopsy found poisonous levels of tetrahydrozoline in his system, the York County Sheriff\u2019s Office said Friday. Tetrahydrozoline is a chemical found in over-the-counter eye drops used to clear up eye redness.\nStephen Clayton, 64, was found dead in the couple\u2019s home in Clover, South Carolina, on July 21. His wife held a funeral for him in their backyard earlier this month before an autopsy uncovered his cause of death, neighbors said.\nShe later confessed to poisoning him, authorities said, telling investigators that she placed eye drops in his drinking water for several days.\n\u201cI believe she\u2019s the one who called it in. She found him unresponsive in the house,\u201d Trent Faris, public information officer for the York County Sheriff\u2019s Office, told ABC News. \u201cWe don\u2019t have a clear cut reason why she committed the crime that she did, or what kind of motive she may have had. But we\u2019re still kind of working on that.\u201d\nStephen Clayton's family released a statement to ABC News saying they were \"shocked and mortified\" by his death, and attempted to debunk rumors the killing was precipitated by infidelity.\n\"The family is shocked and mortified at the cause of Steven\u2019s death. All of our family and friends know how much he loved his wife Lana and how devoted he was to her. We are all still trying to process this,\" the statement said. \"However, any references in media reports to a 2010 Facebook post by his wife having to do with an infidelity issue was centered around an ex-husband, not Steven who hadn\u2019t even met her until 3 years after that particular Facebook post.\n\"The family is respectful of the ensuing judicial process and does not want to make any statements that might jeopardize the due process of this case and those involved,\" it added.\nResidents in the quiet town of Clover, near the North Carolina border just southwest of Charlotte, said they were shocked by the man\u2019s death. One neighbor said Lana Clayton attended a neighborhood Bible study and Stephen was known for his big personality, according to Charlotte ABC affiliate WSOC .\n\"It just makes no sense,\u201d Deborah Pollard, who lives nearby, told WSOC on Sunday. \"That's crazy. ... They're just finding all kinds of ways to do crazy things nowadays, aren't they?\"\nLana Clayton was booked into the York County Detention Center on Friday on charges of murder and malicious tampering with a drug product or food, police said. Jail records did not indicate if she had obtained a lawyer as of Monday morning.\nPolice have not released a motive in the case.",

Longworth then joins the state police (the Florida Department of Law Enforcement) where he must tackle with the unusually high homicide rate in eastern Florida. The drama series stars Matt Passmore as Jim Longworth, Kiele Sanchez as Callie Cargill, Carlos Gomez as Carlos Sanchez, Uriah Shelton as Jeff Cargill, Jordan Wall as Daniel Green and Michelle Hurd as Colleen Manus. In the premiere episode of the show\u2019s fourth season, Longworth must delve into a 150-year-old ghost story to solve a murder when the dead body of an heiress is found in a haunted plantation house.\nBased on the series of novels written by Craig Johnson and developed for television by John Coveny and Hunt Baldwin, Longmire follows Walt Longmire, the Sheriff of Absaroka County, Wyoming. Longmire is a widower who, following his wife\u2019s death, lost interest in his job as Sheriff. But with the help of one of his deputies he re-commits to his job and decides to run for re-election, only to find that one of his own men is running against him. The drama series is produced by Warner Horizon Television and stars Robert Taylor (The Matrix), Katee Sackhoff (Battlestar Galactica), Lou Diamond Phillips (Stargate: Universe), Bailey Chase (Damages), Cassidy Freeman (Smallville) and newcomer Adam Bartley. In the premiere episode of the show\u2019s second season, a prison transfer goes awry and Walt urgently pursues a serial killer and his fellow escapees, who have taken hostages, up a mountain. Facing an impending storm with very limited resources, Walt\u2019s mettle is put to the test and hypothermic hallucinations force him to face his past.",

        "title": "Wi-Ex's New zBoost Signal Mapper Mobile Apps",
        "raw_content": "Wi-Ex's New zBoost Signal Mapper Mobile Apps\nRecently, Wi-Ex, a leading manufacturer of cell phone signal boosters, released two mobile apps designed to help you visualize the cell phone signal strength in your area. The iOS version for iPhones and iPads is called the zBoost Signal Mapper while the Android version is called the zBoost Signal Finder. In addition to visualizing how strong the signal is on a map, the Android app goes one step further and points you in the direction of the closest tower. This feature could be very helpful when trying to install a signal booster with a directional antenna so that you know which general direction to point it.\nWhen you open the app, the main screen is dominated by a map that attempts to find where you are and center the map on your location. When you\u2019re ready, you can click on a start button to begin the mapping process. The app will display a circle in your current location that\u2019s color coded based on how strong of a signal you currently have. The colors range from a dark green, representing a strong signal, to a dark red, representing no signal at all. As you move around, the app will add additional circles to the map along the path you\u2019re traveling so you can see how strong the signal is everywhere you\u2019ve been. When you\u2019re done, there\u2019s a stop which stops the app from adding any more signal readings and a clear button to remove the circles from the map.\nWhile the zBoost Signal Mapper app could be entertaining to use while walking around a city, I feel that it doesn\u2019t have much practical value. To be helpful while installing a signal booster, the app would have to keep track of the signal in in a very small area, usually on the roof of a house. Unfortunately in my area, the satellite imagery isn\u2019t detailed enough to really be able to see much of my house. In addition, while GPS is accurate enough for driving directions and tagging photos, it\u2019s not usually accurate enough on a phone to do precise mapping. When you\u2019re trying to find the ideal spot for an antenna, being off by 10 or 20 ft could be difference between a weak sign and no signal at all. The app also reports that signal in terms of \u201cbars\u201d which will certainly be familiar to anyone who has used a cell phone, but is far less accurate than displaying the signal strength in decibels. A signal in two places can have the same number of bars but be orders of magnitude different in strength which would be readily apparent if the signal strength was represented in decibels.\nUnfortunately, the app doesn\u2019t even have entertainment value for me since I couldn\u2019t get it to work. As you can see by the screenshot from my iPhone 5 running iOS 6, the app reports that I have 0 Bars, even though you can see in the screenshot that I have 5 bars of 3G signal. The only review on the iTunes page lists the same problem of it always reporting 0 Bars. I\u2019m sure Wi-Ex will be able to work out this bug, especially since it\u2019s still the first version.\nI wasn\u2019t able to test the app on an Android phone. If anyone has used either app, please leave us a comment and let us know what you think!\nThe iOS version is available from the iTunes Store. The Android version is available from the Google Play Store. To learn more, you can check out the help page for the app or read the zBoost press release.\nUPDATE 12/04/2012: Wi-Ex released a new version yesterday that correctly display my signal strength instead of always reporting 0 bars.\nThis entry was posted in News on November 2, 2012 by Dan.\t\u2190 Previous Post Next Post \u2192\n2 thoughts on \u201cWi-Ex's New zBoost Signal Mapper Mobile Apps\u201d\nBudex\tNovember 14, 2012 at 9:57 am\nWould it be possible to make the Android app also dnoalwadoble from this website (as .apk file)? The market doesn't work in all situations, for example for many tablet computers that are not phones. That would be great! Thanks!\nDan\tNovember 14, 2012 at 5:38 pm\nUnfortunately, since it's not our app, we're not able to host the application file on our site. You could try contacting Wi-Ex directly to see if they're able to send it to you.",

An important concept underlying the federal system is that the\nfederal government has only limited powers to regulate individuals and businesses. States\nare thought of as having more inherent powers to protect the general welfare of their citizenry\nwith only general constitutional authorization.1 In contrast, the federal government\u2019s\npower to regulate must be specifically granted by the U.S. Constitution. For example, the\nConstitution grants Congress the explicit power to collect taxes and to control the issuance\nof patents and copyrights.\nFrom a broad perspective, the Constitution may be thought of as having three general\nfunctions: (1) establishing a structure for the federal government (including qualifications\nfor certain government offices) and rules for amending the Constitution; (2) granting specific\npowers for the different branches of government; and (3) providing procedural protections\nfor U.S. citizens from wrongful government actions.\nThe U.S. Constitution is composed of a preamble, seven articles,\nand 27 amendments. The first three articles establish a\nthree-part system of government with three coequal branches:\nthe legislative branch, the executive branch, and the judicial\nbranch. The underlying rationale for this structure is that each\nof the branches exercises its respective powers to ensure that\none branch does not exceed its authority under the Constitution.\nSpecifically, the Constitution begins with a preamble stating\nthe Constitution\u2019s broad objectives (e.g., justice, liberty, tranquility,\ncommon defense). The articles then set out structure,\npowers, and procedures. From a business perspective, it is also\nimportant to note that Congress\u2019s powers to directly and exclusively\nregulate bankruptcy, patents, and copyrights are set out\nin Article I. Table 2.1 is a brief synopsis of the provisions in\neach article.\nIn addition to the creation of federal courts, the Constitution\nalso establishes boundaries of jurisdiction. Jurisdiction is\nthe legal authority that a court must have before it can hear a\ncase. Both the U.S. Constitution and individual state constitutions\ncontain language that establishes jurisdiction for certain\nmatters to be heard by certain courts. The concept of jurisdiction\nis discussed in detail in Chapter 3, \u201cThe American Judicial\nSystem, Jurisdiction, and Venue.\u201d\nThe Constitution has been amended (added to or changed)on several occasions since its ratification. These amendmentsare an important part of the Constitution\u2019s function as a protectionof the citizenry from unlawful or repressive acts of thegovernment. The first ten amendments, called the Bill of Rights, were added in 1791. TheBill of Rights preserves the rights of the individual U.S. citizens, and in some cases U.S.\u2013based businesses, from unlawful acts of government officials, freedom of speech and religion,prohibition on random searches, and others. In all, there have been 27 amendments tothe Constitution. The applicability of the Bill of Rights in the specific context of businessis discussed in detail later in this chapter.\nOVERVIEW OF FEDERAL POWERS\nPowers granted to the three branches of government in the Constitution are known as\nenumerated powers and are typically limited in scope. This means that each act of federal\nlegislation or regulation must come from within one of the very specific, enumerated\npowers. The primary authorization of Constitutional powers is given to Congress under\nArticle I. 2 Congress has enumerated powers in 18 different clauses. The powers that generally\nimpact business owners and managers include (1) the power to regulate commerce\n(CommerceClause); (2) taxing the citizenry and commercial entities and spending government\nfunds (tax and spend provisions); (3) bankruptcy, patents, and copyrights; and\n(4) a more general implied authority to make all laws necessary for carrying out its enumerated\npowers (Necessary and Proper Clause).\nEnumerated powers are also granted to the executive\nand judicial branches. For example, the president\nis granted the power to (1) carry out laws\nmade by Congress; (2) be the commander in chief of the armed forces; (3) enter into a treaty (subject to approval by the Senate) and to\ncarry out foreign policy; and (4) appoint federal officers and judges (also subject to\nSenate approval). The judiciary is authorized to decide cases and controversies falling\nwithin federal jurisdiction. In addition, the three branches also have powers that are part\nof an overall scheme to provide a system to resolve conflicts among the branches and\nensure that no one branch exceeds its constitutional authority. This system of checks\nand balances is called the separation of powers.\nTable 2.2 sets out some of the various powers each branch has that acts as a check on\nthe other branches.\nOne of the central concepts in federal Constitutional law is the notion that federal courts\nhave the right to invalidate state or federal laws that are inconsistent with the U.S. Constitution\nin some way. The U.S. Supreme Court is the ultimate judge of federal constitutional\nlaw. This authority was established by the Court in the landmark case of Marbury v. Madison\nin 1803. In Marbury, the Court explicitly ruled that (1) the Constitution was superior\nto federal and state statutes, and (2) when there is a conflict between the Constitution and\nstate or federal law, the Court has the authority to strike down the law as unconstitutional.\nThe Court based these conclusions on the judiciary branch\u2019s enumerated powers found in\nArticle III, \u00a7 2 which includes authority of matters arising under the Constitution or \u201claws\nof the United States.\u201d 3 Marbury, although decided over two hundred years ago, is still considered\nvalid precedent, and federal courts regularly cite the case as a source of authority\nfor the power to invalidate a law that is in conflict with the Constitution. Over the better\npart of two centuries, the Court further defined its judicial review authority, including the\npower of federal courts to review state court decisions to the extent that the decisions\ninvolve federal law or federal constitutional issues.\nApplying the Constitution: Standards of Review\nThe U.S. Supreme Court has established three standards of review for applying Constitutional\nlaw. These standards appear in a broad range of constitutional law cases, and the\nCourt has fashioned these standards for use by lower courts in applying the provisions of\nthe Constitution as uniformly as possible. When reviewing a government action for constitutional\nsoundness (such as passage or enforcement of a federal or state law), the Court\nclassifies the action into one of three categories of scrutiny: (1) the rational basis category,\n(2) intermediate-level scrutiny, or (3) strict scrutiny.\nRational Basis Government actions that are in this category are subject to the least amount\nof scrutiny. In order for the court to uphold the action, the government need only show that\ntheir action advanced a legitimate government objective (such as public welfare, health, or\nsafety) and the action was minimally related to the government\u2019s objective. Government\nactions that fall into this category include those that do not involve any fundamental constitutional\nrights. Fundamental rights are generally limited to voting, access to criminal appeals,\nand interstate travel. Therefore, almost every economic- and tax-related law is reviewed using\nthis undemanding threshold and ultimately the law is found to be constitutional. For example,\nsuppose that, in response to pressure by consumer advocacy groups to regulate Internet\naccess, pricing, and service, Congress passes a law requiring all Internet service providers\n(ISPs) to be directly regulated by a new federal administrative agency. The law imposes a\ntax on the ISPs to fund the agency. MegaSearch is an ISP subject to the law and files suit\ncontending the law is an unconstitutional exercise of congressional powers. Because the regulation\nis purely economic, a court will likely rule against MegaSearch and uphold the law as\nconstitutional using the rational basis category so long as the government provides evidence\nthat the law advanced some legitimate government objective (such as consumer protection).\nIntermediate-Level Scrutiny Some actions are categorized as subject to intermediatelevel\nscrutiny. Courts will uphold government actions as constitutional so long as the government\ncan prove that their action advanced an important government objective (a higher\nlevel than \u201clegitimate\u201d used in the rational basis test) and that the action is substantially\nrelated (a higher level than \u201cminimally\u201d) to the government\u2019s objective. A relatively small\nnumber of cases fall into this category. For example, courts have used this category in cases\ninvolving government action related to regulating time, place, and manner of a political\ndemonstration that is protected under the First Amendment. For example, suppose in the\nMegaSearch case, above, that the management at MegaSearch organizes a protest against\nthe law and applies for permits to stage demonstrations opposing the law in several cities\nacross the country. One city, Silicone Village, rejects the permit application because Mega-\nSearch\u2019s proposed demonstration would block a high-volume traffic area and endanger both\npedestrians and drivers. The village also points out that a public park located in the village\nwould be a more appropriate venue. If MegaSearch sues the village for denying them their\nFirst Amendment right to protest, a court would likely find the village\u2019s actions permissible\nunder the intermediate-level scrutiny standard because the government\u2019s denial of the permit\nis substantially related to an important government objective (protection of drivers and\npedestrians).\nStrict Scrutiny When the government action is related to a fundamental right or is based\non a \u201csuspect\u201d classification (i.e., race, national origin, or alienage) courts apply a strict\nscrutiny standard when deciding whether to uphold the government action. Courts will\nonly uphold the law if (1) the government\u2019s objective is compelling, (2) the means chosen\nby the government to advance that objective is necessary to achieve that compelling end,\nand (3) no less-restrictive alternatives existed. In the strict scrutiny category, the government\nhas the burden of persuasion. As a practical matter, when courts classify government actions as belonging in the strict scrutiny category, they are signaling that the government\naction is likely to be ruled unconstitutional. For example, suppose that in the MegaSearch\ncase above, that the government passes a law that imposes a higher level of tax on ISPs\nwho catered to Latino users by assessing the tax based on the number of searches conducted\nusing words and phrases in Spanish. Such a law would be a clear example of the\ngovernment\u2019s use of a suspect classification (national origin) and would clearly be struck\ndown under a strict scrutiny analysis.\nThe Supremacy Clause and Preemption\nBecause our federal system of government contemplates the coexistence of federal law with\nthe various laws of the states, there is sometimes a conflict between federal law and state law.\nArticle VI of the U.S. Constitution provides that valid federal laws (those made pursuant to\nCongress\u2019s constitutional authority and that are constitutionally sound) are always supreme\nto any conflicting state law. This is known as the Supremacy Clause and it invalidates any\nstate law that is in direct conflict with federal law. The power granted by the supremacy\nclause to override a state law is called preemption. In order for preemption to occur, the\nfederal law must be directly in conflict with the state law to the point where the two laws cannot\ncoexist. For example, in Geier v. American Honda Motor Company, the U.S. Supreme\nCourt held that a federal regulation giving auto manufacturers the choice between airbags\nor alternative methods of passenger safety restraints preempted a claim by an injured party\nagainst an auto manufacturer under a state common law doctrine based on failing to install\nairbags. The Court ruled that, because the injured party\u2019s case depended upon a claim that\nauto manufacturers had a legal duty to install airbags and the violation of that duty resulted in\nthe injury, the state common law could not coexist with federal law that specifically allowed\nauto manufacturers to opt not to install airbags in favor of another type of restraint system.\nIn Case 2.1, a famous dispute involving the early tobacco product liability litigation, the\nU.S. Supreme Court applied the doctrine of preemption.\nCongress\u2019s broadest power is derived from the Commerce Clause whereby Congress is\ngiven the power to \u201cregulate Commerce among the several states.\u201d Under the modern\ntrend, federal courts have been largely deferential to legislative decisions under Congress\u2019s\ncommerce powers. Despite some limits placed by the U.S. Supreme Court in the\nrelatively recent past, Congress still exercises very broad powers to pass laws where the\nactivity being regulated affects interstate commerce in any way.\nApplication of Commerce Powers\nCongress exercises its commerce powers in various forms. However, the direct and broad\npower to regulate all persons and products related to the flow of interstate commerce is the\nfundamental source of its authority.\nInterstate versus Intrastate Commercial Activity Congress has the express constitutional\nauthority to regulate (1) channels of interstate commerce such as railways and highways,\n(2) the instrumentalities of interstate commerce such as vehicles used in shipping, and\n(3) the articles moving in interstate commerce. Even for commercial activity that is purely\nintrastate (takes place within one state\u2019s borders), Congress has the power to regulate the\nactivity so long as it has a substantial economic effecton interstate commerce. For example,\nsuppose that Congress passes the Whistleblower Act, a statute that prohibits any businessengaged in interstate commerce from firing their employees for reporting safety violations.\nSteel Co., a West Virginia company, begins to engage in a pattern of firing all employees who\nreport safety violations. When a government agency files a civil lawsuit against Steel Co. to\nenforce the Whistleblower Act, Steel Co. defends that the act is unconstitutional because the\nactivity of firing their employees is purely within the state of West Virginia and not related to\ninterstate commerce. A court would likely find that if Steel Co. had any commercial activity\nat all (such as shipping, warehouses, equipment, advertising, or importing) that is outside\nof West Virginia, Congress has the authority to regulate Steel Co.\u2019s workplace policies. In\nthe dynamics of the modern-day commercial world, a large amount of seemingly intrastate\nactivity has some degree of economic effect on interstate commerce.\nThe U.S. Supreme Court has even deferred to congressional regulation of a product\nthat is cultivated for noncommercial purposes solely in one state as sufficiently related to interstate commerce. In Gonzalez v. Raich, 7 the Court ruled that Congress had the power\nto criminalize the possession of marijuana even if it was noncommercially cultivated and\nconsumed by medical prescription all in the same state. The case involved a challenge by\ntwo California residents to the enforcement by federal officials of the federal Controlled\nSubstances Act after California passed a state law via voter ballot proposition to exempt\nanyone involved in the cultivating, prescribing, and consuming marijuana for medical purposes\nfrom prosecution. The plaintiffs were each arrested by federal officials for possession\nof marijuana that had been grown at home. Each had a prescription from a licensed\nphysician. In refusing to invalidate the Controlled Substances Act, the Court noted that\nCongress could have rationally believed that the noncommercially grown marijuana would\nbe drawn into the interstate market and, therefore, the banning of the substance was sufficiently\nrelated to interstate commercial activity.\nCipollone v. Liggett Group, Inc., et al., 505 U.S. 504 (1992), et al., 505 U.S. 504 (1992)\nCASE 2.1 Cipollone v. Liggett Group, Inc., et al., 505 U.S. 504 (1992)\nFACT SUMMARY Cipollone brought suit againstLiggett for violation of several New Jersey consumer\nprotection statutes alleging that Liggett (and othercigarette manufacturers) were liable for his mother\u2019s\ndeath because they engaged in a course of conductincluding false advertising, fraudulently misrepresenting\nthe hazards of smoking, and conspiracy to deprivethe public of medical and scientific information about\nsmoking. Liggett urged the court to dismiss the statelaw claims contending that the claims related to the\nmanufacturer\u2019s advertising and promotional activitieswere preempted by two federal laws: (1) the Federal\nCigarette Labeling and Advertising Act of 1965, and(2) the Public Health Cigarette Smoking Act of 1969.\nSYNOPSIS OF DECISION AND OPINION TheU.S. Supreme Court ruled against Cipollone, holding\nthat his claims relying on state law were preempted byfederal law. The Court cited both the text of the statute\nand the legislative history in concluding that Congress\u2019sintent in enactment of the laws was to preempt\nstate laws regulating the advertising and promotion oftobacco products. Because Congress chose specifically\nto regulate a certain type of advertising (tobacco), federallaw is supreme to any state law that attempts to\nregulate that same category of advertising.\nWORDS OF THE COURT: Preemption \u201cArticle VI ofthe Constitution provides that the laws of the United\nStates shall be the supreme Law of the Land. Thus,[. . .] it has been settled that state law that conflicts\nwith federal law is \u2018without effect.\u2019 [. . .] Accordingly,\u2018the purpose of Congress is the ultimate touchstone\u2019\nof pre-emption analysis. Congress\u2019s intent may be\u2018explicitly stated in the statute\u2019s language or implicitly\ncontained in its structure and purpose.\u2019 In the absenceof an express congressional command, state law is\npreempted if that law actually conflicts with federallaw, [. . .], or if federal law so thoroughly occupies a\nlegislative field \u2018as to make reasonable the inferencethat Congress left no room for the States to supplement\nit.\u2019 [. . .] [Cipollone\u2019s] claims are preempted tothe extent that they rely on a state-law \u2018requirement\nor prohibition . . . with respect to . . . advertising orpromotion.\u2019\u201d\nCivil Rights Legislation A key use of the federal commerce power has been in the\narea of civil rights legislation. Indeed, the Supreme Court\u2019s level of deference for use of\ncongressional commerce powers reached its peak during and directly after the civil rights\nera. In the 1964 Civil Rights Act, Congress used its commerce power to ban discrimination\nin places of public accommodation such as restaurants and hotels. In two important\ncivil rights cases decided by the U.S. Supreme Court, the Court ruled that the Civil Rights\nAct was a permissible application of Congress\u2019s commerce powers. In Heart of Atlanta\nMotel v. U.S., 8 the Court made clear that a federal ban on racial discrimination was a constitutionally\npermitted use of congressional commerce powers because the hotel was open tointerstate travelers. Additionally, the Court deferred to a congressional finding of fact\nthat racial discrimination in accommodations discouraged travel by limiting a substantial\nportion of the black community\u2019s ability to find suitable lodging. In a companion case, 9\nKatzenbach v. McClung, the Court held that a local restaurant that was located far from\nany interstate highway, and with no appreciable business from interstate travelers, was\nnevertheless, subject to the reach of the federal statute because the restaurant purchased\nsome food and paper supplies from out-of-state vendors. Since these purchases were of\nitems that had moved in commerce, Congress could properly exercise their power to regulate\na restaurant whose business interests were primarily local.\nNoncommercial Activity In 1995, the U.S. Supreme Court signaled that some limits\non Congress\u2019s commerce power still exist. In cases where the activity is purely noncommercial\n(such as when Congress passes a criminal statute that is seemingly unrelated to\ncommerce), the Court has used increased levels of scrutiny to be\nsure that the activity that Congress seeks to regulate has a sufficient\nnexus (connection) to some legitimate economic interest. In U.S.\nv. Lopez, the Court invalidated a federal statute on the basis that\nit was beyond Congress\u2019s commerce powers. In Lopez, the Court\nstruck down the Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990, which made\nit a federal crime to possess a gun within a certain distance from\na school. The Court rejected the government\u2019s argument that gun\npossession in schools affected economic productivity (by making it more difficult for students\nto obtain an education) and thus was within the purview of congressional commerce\npower. The Court held that such a broad interpretation of the commerce power would mean\nthat congressional power was virtually unlimited, and that such an expansive authority was\ndirectly contrary to the express limits imposed by the Constitution. The court reasoned that\nthe banning of firearms in local schools was a government police power and, therefore,\nmore appropriately handled by the state government. Five years later, in U.S. v. Morrison,\nthe Court invalidated another statute on the same grounds. In that case, the Court struck\ndown the Violence Against Women Act, which gave victims of gender-motivated violence\nthe right to sue their attacker for money damages in a federal court. In light of the Lopez\ndecision, Congress made exhaustive findings of fact that detailed the cumulative economic\naffect of gender-motivated crimes. Nonetheless, the Court held that the congressional findings\nwere too broad to justify use of the commerce power and that virtually any local crime\ncould become a federal offense under a similar justification. As a general rule, the further\nthat Congress strays from regulating commercial activity, the more likely the Court will be\nto give the law intense constitutional scrutiny.\nConstitutional Restrictions on State Regulation of Commerce\nThe U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that the mere existence of congressional commerce\npowers restricts the states from discriminating against or unduly burdening interstate commerce.\nStates often wish to regulate commerce thatcrosses into their state borders. States are free to\nregulate commerce so long as (1) it does not imposea discriminatory law (such as a tax) on out-of-state\nbusinesses, and (2) the state law is a legitimate effortto regulate health, safety, and welfare. For example,\nsuppose that in order to protect its own economic interests, the Idaho state legislature imposes an inspection requirement and fee on all non-Idaho grown potatoes sold within Idaho state borders. The state legislature justifies thisprocess and fee on the basis that it is protecting its citizens from rotten potatoes. A court\nwould likely strike down the law because it discriminates against out-of-state producers,\nand its explanation could be seen as a pretext (not the actual reason) since the law presumes\nthat in-state potatoes are safe. Moreover, the inspection fee and the inspection process\nitself could be viewed as unreasonably burdening interstate commerce.\nTAX AND SPEND POWER 12\nCongress has a far-reaching power to tax the citizenry and to spend the federal government\u2019s\nmoney in any way that promotes the common defense and general welfare. The\npower to tax is an independent source of federal authority. That is, Congress may tax activities\nor property that it might not be authorized to regulate directly under any of the enumerated\nregulatory powers. The power to spend is linked to the power to tax in that the money\nmay be raised by taxation and then spent on the general welfare of the United States. The\nU.S. Supreme Court has been highly deferential to Congress in terms of what constitutes\ngeneral welfare and under what circumstances Congress may exercise its authority to tax\nits citizenry and its decision-making power on how to allocate government money.\nCongress may also place conditions on the use of federal money in order to achieve some\npublic policy objective. Congress generally cites the Necessary and Proper Clause as\nauthorization to set conditions on the spending. This ability to set conditions on the use\nof federal money has been a somewhat controversial method of congressional regulation\nbecause it falls outside the areas of traditional regulation. However, the U.S. Supreme\nCourt has upheld federal spending conditions that are tied to individual states passing certain\nlaws that carry out a congressionally set ambition. State legislatures have objected to\nthis type of regulation, characterizing it as a backdoor method for imposing laws on states\nthat are outside Congress\u2019s enumerated powers.\nIn South Dakota v. Dole, 13 the Court deferred to Congress\u2019s right to attach certain spending\nconditions related to the legal drinking age (a state law issue) 14 on federal funds distributed\nto the states for use in repairing and building highways. Unless a state passed a law\nto raise the legal drinking age to 21 by a certain date, they would lose a certain percentage\nof their allotted highway funding from the federal government. South Dakota and other\nstates challenged the law as an unconstitutional intrusion by Congress into state affairs and\nan overreaching use of its spending power to regulate. The Court sided with Congress and\nruled the drinking-age condition is constitutionally permissible under Congress\u2019s spending\nauthority so long as the condition itself is not a violation of individual constitutional rights.\nThis case signaled an important victory for Congress and it now regularly uses spending\nconditions as a form of regulation for individuals and businesses.\nCONCEPT SUMMARY Structure and Nature of the Constitution: Federal Powers\n\u00a6 Under the federal system used by the United States, the federal government has only\nlimited powers to regulate individuals and businesses.\n\u00a6 These powers are specifically enumerated in the Constitution and are limited in scope.\n\u00a6 The limited powers of the legislative branch, which are specifically enumerated in the\nConstitution, include (1) the power to regulate commerce; (2) the power to tax and\nspend; (3) the power to regulate bankruptcy, patents, and copyrights; and (4) a general\nimplied authority to make all laws necessary for carrying out its enumerated powers.\nSimilarly, the president is granted the power to (1) carry out laws made by Congress;\n(2) be the commander in chief of the armed forces; (3) enter into a treaty and carry\nout foreign policy; and (4) appoint federal officers and judges. Finally, the judiciary is\nauthorized to decide cases and controversies falling within federal jurisdiction.\n\u00a6 Congress\u2019s broadest power is derived from the Commerce Clause.\n\u00a6 Under the Commerce Clause, Congress has the authority to regulate (1) channels of\ninterstate commerce such as railways and highways; (2) the instrumentalities of interstate\ncommerce such as vehicles used in shipping; (3) the articles moving in interstate\ncommerce; and (4) any activity that has substantial economic effect on interstate commerce,\nincluding activities that are not commercial in nature.\n\u00a6 The U.S. Constitution is composed of a preamble, seven articles, and 27 amendments,\nthe first ten of which are called the Bill of Rights.\n\u00a6 The first three articles of the Constitution establish a three-part system of government\nwith three coequal branches: the legislative branch, the executive branch, and the judicial\n\u00a6 This structure is designed so that each of the branches exercises its respective powers to\nensure that one branch does not exceed its authority under the Constitution (referred to\nas a separation of powers or checks and balances).\n\u00a6 Under the Supremacy Clause, federal laws preempt (override) any conflicting state\n\u00a6 Congress has the power to tax the citizenry and to spend the federal government\u2019s\nmoney in any way that promotes the common defense and general welfare.\n\u00a6 Under the Necessary and Proper Clause, Congress may also place conditions on the use\nof federal money in order to achieve some public policy objective.\nIn addition to the Constitution prescribing the structure of government and granting the government\ncertain powers, it also provides protection for the citizenry from unlawful or repressive\nacts by the government. These protections are contained primarily in the Bill of Rights\n(the first ten amendments) and in other amendments that guarantee the right of due process.\nFrom a business perspective, however, it is important to note that corporations and other business\nentities do not always receive the same level of constitutional protections as individuals.\nThe Bill of Rights and Business\nThe Bill of Rights contains many of the rights common in the American vernacular. Among\nthem are freedom of speech, the press, religion, and expression (First Amendment); freedom\nfrom government-conducted searches without cause or warrant (Fourth Amendment);\nrights against self-incrimination and to a speedy jury trial by our peers (Fifth and Sixth\nAmendments); and freedom from cruel and unusual punishments (Eighth Amendment).While each amendment carries it own significance in a historical and public policy context,\nthe coverage of this textbook is primarily concerned with the Bill of Rights provisions that\nrelate directly to business and management issues.\nThe First Amendment contains the important introductory phrase \u201cCongress shall make\nno law\u201d and then articulates several specific protections against government encroachment\nin the areas of religion, press, speech, assembly, and petition of grievances. The introductory\nphrase demonstrates that the framers intended the Constitution to function as a limit\non government actions. Although certain First Amendment rights for individuals do not\nextend to business owners, courts have increasingly broadened protections for business\nowners in the area of free speech.\nLimits on Free Speech Although the U.S. Supreme Court has given broad protections\nto speech that involves political expression, the First Amendment is by no means absolute.\nJustice Oliver Wendell Holmes famously wrote that the First Amendment was not without\nlimits by giving an example that the Constitution did not protect one that falsely yells\n\u201cfire\u201d in a crowded theatre. Courts have ruled that the government may place reasonable\nrestrictions related to time and place of political expression in cases, for example, where\npublic safety may be threatened.\nCommercial Speech The most common form of commercial speech (ways in which\nbusiness entities communicate with the public) is advertising through print, television,\nradio, and Web-based sources. Traditionally, advertising had little or no First Amendment\nprotection, but the Supreme Court has gradually increased the constitutional protections\nrelated to advertising. In Virginia State Board of Pharmacy v. Virginia Citizens Consumer\nCouncil, the Supreme Court held that purely commercial speech (speech with no political\nimplications whatsoever) was entitled to partial First Amendment protection so long\nas the speech was truthful and concerned a lawful activity. In the Virginia case, the Court\nstruck down Virginia state laws that prohibited a pharmacist from advertising prices for\nprescription drugs. The Court rejected the state\u2019s contention that it has a substantial interest\nin ensuring that cut-rate prices that may be created by competition among pharmacies\ndoesn\u2019t result in substandard service. Given that the information banned by the statute was\nlimiting the free flow of information to consumers, the Court held that such regulation\nFour years after the Virginia case, the Court expanded the analytical framework for deciding\nwhether certain regulations were constitutional in Central Hudson Gas v. Public Service\nCommission. The Central Hudson case created a framework for a four-part test that subjects\ngovernment restrictions on commercial speech to a form of intermediate-level scrutiny.\n\u00a6 Part One. So long as the commercial speech concerns lawful activities and is not misleading,\nthe speech qualifies for protection under the First Amendment. If the speech is\nentitled to protection, then the government\u2019s regulation must pass the final three parts\nof the Central Hudson test in order for the restriction to be constitutionally sound.\n\u00a6 Part Two. A substantial government interest in regulating the speech must exist.\n\u00a6 Part Three. The government must demonstrate that the restriction directly advances the\nclaimed government interest.\n\u00a6 Part Four. The government\u2019s restriction must be not more extensive than necessary (not\ntoo broad) to achieve the government\u2019s asserted interest.\nAdvertising and Obscenity Regulation Sometimes commercial speech runs afoul of\ngovernment\u2019s attempt to ban or regulate materials it deems obscene. However, obscenity\nregulation of commercial speech is subject to the same scrutiny as any other government\nregulation of commercial speech. For example, a federal appellate court has ruled that a\nstate agency\u2019s decision to effectively prohibit a corporation\u2019s use of a certain label on its\nbeer products, which the agency deemed offensive, violated the business owner\u2019s right under\ncommercial speech protections. In that case, Bad Frog Brewery, Inc. v. N.Y. State Liquor\nAuthority, 17 the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit held that labels on the company\u2019s\nbeer products, which depicted a frog with his unwebbed \u201cfingers\u201d extended in a manner\nevocative of a well-known human gesture of insult, were protected commercial speech\nunder the First Amendment. The court ruled that when the New York State Liquor Authority\ndenied Bad Frog\u2019s application to use the labels in New York on the basis that the labels were\noffensive, the state agency failed to show that their ruling achieved their asserted interest of protecting children from vulgarity. Because the labels were not misleading and did notconcern an unlawful activity, the labels were a protected form of commercial speech andany government regulation must conform with the\nrequirements set out in the Central Hudson case. Rulingin favor of Bad Frog, the court remarked that a\nstate must demonstrate that its commercial speechlimitation is part of a substantial effort to advance a valid state interest, \u201cnot merely theremoval of a few grains of offensive sand from the beach of vulgarity.\u201d\nPolitical Speech by Corporations Another form of commercial speech, broadly\nspeaking, is when corporations and other business entities fund political speech or engage\nin corporate advocacy of a particular candidate or political issue. May the government\nregulate such commercial speech under the same standards as the Central Hudson case?\nGenerally, the answer depends of the specific form and content of the speech\u2014but typically\npolitical speech by corporations is fully protected by the First Amendment.\nIn First National Bank of Boston v. Bellotti, the Supreme Court created a new level\nof First Amendment protection for corporations engaged in politically oriented speech\nwhen it struck down a Massachusetts state statute that prohibited corporations from using\ncorporate assets to fund expenditures related to \u201cinfluencing or affecting the vote on any\nquestion submitted to the voters\u201d (known as a ballot proposition). In Bellotti, the Court\nheld that that while some constitutional rights are not afforded to corporations, freedom\nof corporate political speech is fully protected. As such, any attempt to regulate politically\noriented speech by corporations is subject to strict scrutiny. The Court also held that a\ncorporation\u2019s freedom of speech is not limited to matters materially affecting its business.\nRather, a business has a constitutionally protected right to communicate about any political\nmatter that is consistent with the goal of the First Amendment: societal interest in the free\nflow of information and debate. For the first time, the Court recognized that speech that\notherwise would be within the protection of the First Amendment does not lose protection\nsimply because its source is a corporation.\nPolitical Spending and Corporations\nIn a 2010 case that attracted significant media attention, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that\nthe government may not ban all political spending by corporations in candidate elections.\nIn Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, the Court held that the provisions of the Bipartisan\nCampaign Reform Act of 2002 (commonly referred toas the McCain-Feingold Act), which prohibited corporations\nand labor unions from using general fundsto sponsor \u201celectioneering communications,\u201d wereunconstitutional. It is important to note that the rulingdid not involve a challenge to limits imposed by the lawon campaign contributions, or with the prohibition ofcorporate contributions to a candidate. These limits remain intact. Rather, the Supreme\nCourt\u2019s ruling applies only to independent expenditures on speech. Independent expenditures\nmean speech (such as advertisements) engaged in by an organization on its ownbehalf, and not with coordination with any candidate.The case originated when Citizens United, a conservative nonprofit corporation, produced\na 90-minute documentary called \u201cHillary: The Movie\u201d which criticized then-Senator Hillary Clinton and questioned her fitness for office. The group planned to release it during the 2008Democratic presidential primaries. Fearful that uncertainties in the law would result in enforcementaction by the government upon release of the movie, Citizens United filed suit against theFederal Elections Commission (FEC) in federal court challenging the act. After they lost thatcase, Citizens United scrapped its plans to release the movie, but continued to appeal the trialcourt\u2019s decision. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of Citizens United, striking down theprovisions of the law that banned Citizens United from releasing the movie. Justice AnthonyKennedy wrote the majority opinion:\nIn addition to the First Amendment, certain other protectionsafforded by the Constitution may be important to\nbusiness owners and managers. The Fourth Amendmentprotects individual citizens\u2019 rights to be secure in their\n\u201cpersons, houses, papers and effects.\u201d The U.S. SupremeCourt has systematically applied a reasonableness test\nto define the limits of when the government may searchwithout a warrant based on probable cause that criminal\nactivity is afoot. From a business perspective, it is importantto understand that the law recognizes two basic types\nof searches. First, when the government wishes to obtaina warrant to search particular premises while investigating\na criminal offense, they must demonstrate that theyhave sufficient information, called probable cause, that\njustifies the issuance of a search warrant by a court. Second, the government also investigates noncriminal\nadministrative violation s. The standard for the issuanceof a warrant for a search in an administrative violation\ninvestigation is lower than for investigating a criminaloffense. Administrative warrants may be used by government\nregulatory agencies (such as the EnvironmentalProtection Agency) to gain access to worksites for compliance\ninspections. Administrative agencies and administrativewarrants are discussed in detail in Chapter 17,\n\u201cAdministrative Law.\u201dThe Fifth Amendment provides that no person\u201cshall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witnessagainst himself.\u201d Simply put, this amendment guaranteesindividuals the right to remain silent both during theinvestigation and during any subsequent judicial proceedings.Although it is clear that this amendment does\nnot apply to corporate entities when the government isseeking certain business records, individual corporate\nofficers and employees are entitled to Fifth Amendmentprotection when facing a criminal investigation by the police, or more commonly in a business context, administrative agencies investigating apossible criminal offense (e.g., the Internal Revenue Service investigating tax fraud). Thisright is a central and fundamental part of the Supreme Court\u2019s famous decision in Mirandav. Arizona. The Miranda case set out specific procedures to be used by the governmentwhen interrogating possible suspects of criminal wrongdoings. The Miranda case is covered\nin detail in Chapter 22, \u201cCriminal Law and Procedure in a Business Context.\u201d\nDUE PROCESS PROTECTIONS\nIn addition to protection afforded by the Bill of Rights, the law provides protections to\nindividuals and businesses from government overreaching through constitutional guarantees\ncontained in the Due Process Clause of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. These\nclauses protect individuals from being deprived of \u201clife, liberty, or property\u201d without due\nprocess of law. Fundamentally, due process rights require the government to provide\nsome type of hearing and procedure whenever the government has taken some action that\ndeprives an individual or business of some liberty or property interest.\nPerhaps the most important role of the Fourteenth Amendment is that it makes the Bill\nof Rights applicable to the states. Note, for example, that the First Amendment begins\nwith the explicit restriction that \u201cCongress shall make no law . . .\u201d Originally, the framers\nintended the Bill of Rights to be a protection against certain acts of the federal government,\nand therefore states were not bound by the Bill of Rights. However, in the post-Civil\nWar reconstruction period (mid-1860s), the Fourteenth Amendment was passed, which\neffectively expanded the protections under the Bill of Rights to include restrictions and\nactions by state governments.\nThe Due Process Clause has two primary functions. First, it imposes certain procedural\nrequirements on federal and state governments when they impair life, liberty, or property.\nThe U.S. Supreme Court has held that procedural due process requires the government to\ngive appropriate notice, a neutral hearing, and an opportunity to present evidence before\nany government action may be taken that would affect the life, liberty, or property of an\nindividual. The Due Process Clause also limits the substantive power of the states to regulate\ncertain areas related to individual liberty. These substantive due process rights require\nthat laws passed by the government be published for public inspection and to be specific\nenough so that a reasonable person would understand how the law applies. Laws that are\nvague or overly broad are unconstitutional under the substantive due process doctrine.\nIn Case 2.4, the U.S. Supreme Court applied the Due Process Clause in the context of a\nstate statute that regulated certain jury awards.\nEqual Protection The Equal Protection Clause is the part of the Fourteenth Amendment\nthat prohibits the government from denying citizens\u2019 equal protection of the laws. 23\nFundamentally, the clause guarantees that the government will treat people who are similarly\nsituated equally. Recall from our discussion earlier in this chapter that courts use a\nvariety of levels of review when applying constitutional law. This is especially important\nin equal protection cases where courts apply one of the three categories of review that are\nclassified by their level of scrutiny (strict, intermediate-level, or rational basis).\nWhen a government action (such as passage of a statute or enforcing a law or regulation)\nis based on a suspect classification, or if the action impairs a fundamental right, the\nstrict scrutiny standard is applied. Courts have held that any government action based on race, national origin, and alienage are automatically suspect classifications. The Court has\nheld that government actions related to the right to vote, to have access to the courts, and\nthe right to migrate from state to state are subject to strict scrutiny standards as well.\nNote also that semi-suspect (also called quasi-suspect) classifications trigger intermediate level\nscrutiny. Courts have used this standard of review when government actions were\nbased on gender or illegitimacy. Recall from earlier in this chapter that economic or tax\nregulations are judged under the rational basis category.\nCONCEPT SUMMARY Constitutional Protections\n\u00a6 The Bill of Rights contains protection for citizens from unlawful or repressive acts by\n\u00a6 Corporations and other business entities do not always receive the same level of constitutional\nprotections as individuals.\n\u00a6 Traditionally, advertising had little or no First Amendment protection, but the Supreme\nCourt has gradually increased the constitutional protections related to advertising allowing\npurely commercial speech to have partial First Amendment protection so long as it\nis truthful. Commercial political speech has full First Amendment protection.\n\u00a6 The Due Process Clause of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments protect individuals\nfrom being deprived of \u201clife, liberty, or property\u201d without due process of law.\n\u00a6 The Fourteenth Amendment makes the Bill of Rights applicable to the states.\n\u00a6 The Due Process Clause serves two purposes. First, it imposes procedural requirements\non federal and state governments. Second, it limits the substantive power of the states to\nregulate certain areas affecting individual liberties.\nAlthough not explicitly mentioned in the Constitution, privacy rights play a central role in\nconstitutional law. The U.S. Supreme Court struggled with the notions of individual rights\nof privacy during the early 1900s, but did not formally recognize the right to privacy until\n1965 in the landmark case of Griswold v. Connecticut. The case involved a challenge\nto a Connecticut statute that criminalized (1) the use of contraceptives, and (2) aiding or\ncounseling others in their use. Griswold and others were convicted under the statute for\ncounseling married couples in the use of contraceptives at a local Planned Parenthood\noffice. The U.S. Supreme Court struck down the statute as unconstitutional. They held\nthat the right of privacy was implied by language in the First, Third, Fourth, Fifth, and\nNinth Amendments, which created a constitutionally protected zone of privacy. The right\nof privacy recognized in Griswold was extended to abortion rights in Roe v. Wade, one\nof the most famous U.S. Supreme Court decisions in American history. The Roe Court\nstruck down a state statute, which banned all abortions under any circumstances, as unconstitutional.\nThe Court recognized that a woman\u2019s right to privacy is fundamental under\nthe Fourteenth Amendment. Thus, the government has only a limited right to regulate,\nand could not completely outlaw, abortion procedures and providers. Although the existence\nof a constitutional right of privacy has generated intense and emotional debate, the U.S. Supreme Court has reaffirmed the central tenants of the privacy rights recognized in\nGriswold andRoe over several decades and it has become settled law.\nIn addition to privacy rights afforded by the Constitution, Congress has legislated specific\nprivacy rights such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA), 27\nwhich regulates health-care providers, plans, and plan administrators in gathering, storing,\nand disclosing medical information about individuals. The law requires specific policies\nand record-keeping practices to be used in order to assure privacy of any medical information\nsuch as diagnosis, tests, medications, and so forth. Congress has also sought to assure\ncertain privacy protections by mandating that government agencies allow appropriate public\nand media access to agency records and reports under the Freedom of Information Act.\nOne of the more controversial federal statutes that deal with modern privacy issues\nwas the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to\nIntercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act (called the USA Patriot Act). The USA Patriot Act\nwas passed immediately after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and provides\nincreased authority for government officials to surreptitiously access and/or monitor individual\nand corporate financial records, e-mail, telephone conversations, and Internet activity\nwhen investigating possible terrorism-related activity. Although the law does create an\ninfrastructure that is designed to prevent government overreaching and protect individual\nprivacy (e.g., the government must provide evidence that the investigation is related to terrorism\nand not being used for investigating other matters), critics have derided the law as\nlacking appropriate safeguards to prevent invasion of privacy.\nMost privacy rights afforded by the U.S. Constitution do not extend to the workplace. Nonetheless,\nprivacy rights have become increasingly important to business owners and managers\nas Congress and state legislatures seek to clarify workplace privacy rights by statute in areas\nsuch as employee drug testing, searches of employee areas (such as lockers or desks) by\nemployers, and electronic monitoring of e-mail and Internet usage. Statutes that regulate the\nworkplace are covered in detail in Chapter 11, \u201cEmployment Regulation and Labor Law.\u201d\nE-R model HW",

        "raw_content": "Vampire Burial\u2014Or Is It?\nOur friends over at VAMPED bring us this report\u2014actually a report on a report\u2014of yet another \u201cvampire burial\u201d discovered in a graveyard in Transylvania, which as we all know is a part of modern Romania. Anthony Hogg questions whether the labeling of this skeleton as one of the Undead is accurate. He goes further, taking issue with the tendency\u2014and sometimes, by appearance, it is a knee-jerk tendency\u2014to label any \u201cdeviant burial\u201d (his phrase) as a vampire burial. In this sense \u201cdeviant\u201d just means \u201cuncommon\u201d or \u201cunusual.\u201d Since this one was in Transylvania and it was unusual, it MUST be a vampire burial, mustn\u2019t it? Not necessarily.\nAlso, we should point out that none of us believe that any of these such graves are the (supposed-to-be) final resting places of REAL vampires. What we mean is, the people who interred the dead were convinced that the corpse would return as a vampire, or were afraid that it would, so they took steps to insure this didn\u2019t happen. Like staking the corpse into the grave. This skeleton in question, however, wasn\u2019t staked. No brick or stone was placed in its mouth. It was buried with some gold coins and brass buttons. What\u2019s vampiric about that? Even the photograph originally circulated as representing the skeleton in question is a recreation. (It\u2019s the same photograph I\u2019m posting with this article.) The only thing really odd about the burial is the positioning of the body in the grave; it was interred \u201calmost upside down, rolled onto [its] side and tilting downwards\u201d, but this, as Hogg points out, could easily have been the result of accident. It need not denote a fear of vampires.\nREAL vampire graves are empty, anyway.\nTheCheezman \u2022 March 14, 2017\nBoycott the Creeper?\nDead Teenager Resurrects!",

It needs to better protect patients and retain consumers over the long term while minimizing its environmental impact on the planet.\nPulp and paper industry: producing more and polluting even less\nThe pulp & paper industry has long been seen as one of the most polluting industries on the planet. It is no longer the case, but to continue growing and also to reduce their ecological footprint, the sector is looking for new solutions from partners such as Veolia.\nThe auto industry opts for a greener future\nWorldwide auto sales are taking off and creating new environmental service requirements for car manufacturers. This is true of both the construction phase and the end of life phase when vehicles are dismantled. Veolia is the ideal partner for this industry, both upstream and downstream, helping to reduce the vehicles\u2019 overall ecological footprint.\nThree major challenges for the oil and gas industry\nWith rising global demand, highly volatile prices and increasingly stringent environmental regulations, the oil and gas industry faces three challenges: reducing costs, optimizing the performance of its industrial assets and improving its environmental footprint.\nReducing its environmental footprint of the food and beverage industry\nThe leading industrial sector in the world is a major consumer of water and energy. It also produces important quantities of organic waste and solid waste such as plastic, glass and paper. Conditioned by changing food habits, demographic growth and an increase in living standards, the main challenge facing the sector is to successfully meet growing customer demands for elaborate, safe and nutritious food and beverages while reducing its resource consumption and controlling environmental, social and societal impacts.\nEco-neighbourhoods: the city of the future\u2019s laboratories\nSmart, green, pleasant, sustainable...

The collaborative vision, with input from city leaders, local and national transportation experts, and the community, addresses the tomorrow\u2019s transportation needs today.\nStone Oak Park & Ride\nVIA\u2019s newest Park & Ride location serves the fast-growing U.S. Highway 281-Loop 1604 area. The new transit facility, located on the southwest corner of U.S. Highway 281 and Stone Oak Parkway, initially serves two new bus routes: Route 7 Express to downtown and Route 503 service to the South Texas Medical Center.\nThe state-of-the-art facility features a four-deck garage with 400 parking spaces and elevator access, an indoor waiting area for passengers, access to free 4G LTE Wi-Fi, and a staffed full-service information center to assist VIA customers with tickets sales, bus route information and other services. VIA Park & Ride and Vanpool riders can also utilize the free parking spaces at the facility.\nThe newest Park & Ride facility will eventually have direct access lanes connecting the upper level of the garage to future U.S. Highway 281 managed lanes being developed by the Texas Department of Transportation, which is currently working to expand U.S. Highway 281 North from Loop 1604 to Stone Oak Parkway.\nBrooks Transit Center\nVIA Brooks Transit Center, opening in 2019, will feature convenient, high-frequency bus service and modern passenger amenities like vehicle charging stations, interior seating, phone charging ports, and public art by San Antonio artist Diana Kersey. The landscape includes Native Texas flowering plants that will complement the vibrant and sustainable Brooks community. Solar panels and environmentally friendly landscaping techniques highlight VIA\u2019s commitment to sustainable growth.\nThe new transit center will feature 50 parking spots, a full customer information center, next-bus arrival information, free 4G LTE Wi-Fi, ticket vending machine, an air-conditioned waiting space, restrooms, and bicycle racks.\nCentro Plaza at VIA Villa (formerly called the Westside Multimodal Transit Center) is a state-of-the-art transit hub on the near-West Side of San Antonio.\nThe Plaza opened in December 2015 and serves 1 million passenger trips each year, while it improves accessibility to the city\u2019s Central Business District, UTSA Downtown Campus, and University Health System\u2019s Robert B. Green Campus. The modern Plaza facilitates route transfers, helps alleviate congestion in the Downtown area, and encourages new mixed-use development opportunities. The site features convenient passenger amenities, including an enclosed waiting area, full-service customer information center, plaza-style seating, and well-lit stop and shelter areas.\nIt utilizes solar energy and features other environmentally friendly features, including a water-capture system beneath its stone pavers. Centro Plaza\u2019s signature feature, Centro Chroma Tower by San Antonio artist Bill Fitzgibbons, was dedicated in April 2016 and stands as a new Downtown landmark and a beacon for travelers.\nSouth/West Corridor \u2013 Pr\u00edmo\nImprovements underway for VIA\u2019s S.W. Military Primo route will connect the Kel-Lac Transit Center with the planned Brooks Transit Center. The Military Primo project consists of new Primo bus service along S.E. and S.W. Military Highway from South New Braunfels Avenue to U.S. Highway 90 West.\nThe work is part of VIA\u2019s South/West Corridor Transit Improvements Project to expand Primo Service along Zarzamora and Military Primo corridors and will allow VIA to provide faster, more reliable service.\nPlans call for construction of 20 new stops along the route that will feature Next-Gen lighted shelters with seating; free 4G LTE WiFi service, a digital screen with next bus arrival information, and a security camera system. The project includes various sidewalk improvements to provide safe and convenient pedestrian crossings along the corridor.\nWork will begin in late 2017 and take approximately 13 months to complete.\nPatron Amenities\nVIA has added 1,000 sheltered bus stops to provide customers a comfortable and weather-protected waiting area.\nVIA provides bus service for more than 40 million trips each year within a 1,226-square-mile service area. In October, VIA installed more than 300 shelters. A program goal of 1,000 new shelters citywide was set in mid-2014. Another 150 sites are under construction and more are in production. Streamlined and modern, the new bus shelters provide comfortable, covered seating, additional lighting, and route information displays with real-time bus arrivals to make travel safer and easier to make your next connection. Flexible modular concepts will serve differing capacity needs tailored to each bus stop and are designed to respect the historic or cultural fabric of area parks, neighborhoods, places of interest and historic sites. VIA is working to make your travel experience the best it can be.\nAs we make additional progress, we will continue to bring you news about this and other SmartMove projects.\nThompson Transit Center\nVIA is in the process of issuing an RFP (Request for Proposal) for Joint Development to respond to improvements to accommodate both the additional daily transit operational needs, and an augmented program to provide for commercial/residential development options. This effort will help ensure ridership growth potential, and move the agency closer to the goal of providing more sustainable options in more sustainable communities.\nMOVING TOWARD A GREENER COMMUNITY\nSmart Use of Alternative Fuels\nVIA recognizes its role as a steward of the environment and is committed to the reduction of vehicle emissions in the region.\nThe use of alternative fuels solidifies the company\u2019s commitment to reducing pollution by meeting or exceeding the latest standards from the Environmental Protection Agency. With some recent actions, VIA has moved into new territory with innovative revenue vehicles that run on alternative power sources.\nA CNG-powered Fleet\nIn 2016, VIA began its multi-year plan to purchase clean-energy vehicles, fueled by compressed natural gas (CNG) to replace aging buses in its fleet. The vehicles scheduled for replacement are at least 15 years old. The agency\u2019s fleet expansion will reduce operating costs and allow the agency to carry out planned service enhancements.\nVIA introduced the first of its buses to run on CNG in 2010 with funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, or ARRA. In 2017, VIA announced the sale of $82 million in MTA Contractual Obligation Bonds to help finance the purchase of 270 CNG-fueled buses as part of the agency\u2019s SmartMove five-year capital plan. VIA plans to complete the CNG fleet conversion by 2020.\nVIA Debuts First Wave of CNG Buses\nPowered by Windtricity\nVIA\u2019s agreement with CPS Energy made it the first public agency in San Antonio to receive 100 percent of its power from Windtricity, removing approximately 7,180 metric tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.\nIn 2013, VIA introduced the Arc, all-electric buses for regular service in the Downtown area.\nArc service was made possible by a grant from the Transit Investments for Greenhouse Gas and Energy Reduction program as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. This funding was made available to encourage the use of cutting-edge environmental technologies, and a total of $100 million was awarded in a nationwide competition. VIA is one of just 43 transit agencies from across the nation that received this funding, and it is also the only transit agency in Texas that was awarded in this process.\nVIA also acquired 30 new diesel-electric hybrid buses built by New Flyer. These buses are in service along VIA\u2019s express routes to help daily commuters reduce the city\u2019s overall fuel consumption while cutting back on emissions. The hybrid buses are equipped with extra amenities such as reclining seats, overhead storage, and individual lighting.\nVIA is committed to becoming an environmental leader in the industry and pledges to provide necessary education and tools to all persons working for or on behalf of VIA to successfully carry out this program. VIA promotes implementation of goals and programs that will continually reduce our environmental impact on the community and environment.\nIn January 2016, VIA Metropolitan Transit\u2019s Environmental and Sustainability Management System (ESMS) earned an ISO 14001:2004 certification from the International Standards Organization (ISO) for its proactive sustainable efforts controlled through its ESMS.\nVIA Metropolitan Transit\u2019s ESMS provides a strategic and systematic approach to the management of environmental impacts. Implementation of an ESMS maximizes organizational benefit through risk mitigation, prevention of pollution, and regulatory compliance, and will help VIA to provide the community with safe, reliable and sustainable transportation. Each of VIA\u2019s employees is entrusted with incorporating the actions necessary in their work to fulfill this commitment.\nBy Enacting this ESMS, VIA commits to:\nImplementation and continual improvement of environmental management practices and solutions\nPrevention of pollution and utilization of environmentally safe methods of disposal and recycling to maintain a safe and clean environment\nCompliance with applicable legal and other requirements to which VIA subscribes which relate to its environmental aspects\nMinimization of significant environmental impacts by establishing environmental objectives and targets\nEvaluation of environmental performance and progress through periodic review of the ESMS and related objectives and targets\nIntegration of sustainable practices during planning and decision making processes and in all other work conducted at VIA\nESMS reviewed regularly\nThis Environmental and Sustainability Management System Policy will be documented, regularly reviewed, communicated to all persons working for or on behalf of VIA, and be made available to the public.\nApproved by the Board of Trustees on 12/16/2014\nTECHNOLOGY IN TRANSIT\nVIA Invests in Innovation\nVIA has introduced several new initiatives that integrate the latest technology to enhance the passenger experience, including:\nTrip planning with Third-party Apps\nVIA\u2019s services also can be accessed through several third-party apps that provide easy-to-use trip planning and schedule data. Read more about planning with apps that stream real-time transit information for the San Antonio area.\nRide & Read with Bexar County BiblioTech\nBiblioTech and VIA Metropolitan Transit have partnered to bring Bexar County\u2019s all-digital public library to the traveling public with the \u201cRide & Read\u201d program. This partnership brings VIA on board with BiblioTech\u2019s mission to enhance education and literacy, promote reading as recreation, and equip residents with necessary tools to thrive in our modern landscape. Kiosks and ADA-accessible wall-mounted screens will be installed at VIA transit and information centers throughout the service area. It\u2019s free and easy to sign up. Learn more about how to Ride & Read.\nFree Systemwide 4G LTE WiFi\nVIA offers free 4G LTE WiFi service on every bus and van, and at every transit facility.

        "raw_content": "Why Mario Testino Is Selling the Art Off His Walls\nOn September 13, Vogue photographer Mario Testino will auction hundreds of items from his personal art collection with Sotheby\u2019s to benefit Museo MATE, the nonprofit cultural center he founded in his hometown of Lima, Peru. Testino is a voracious admirer and friend of many of the artists featured in the sale\u2014from Richard Prince to Cindy Sherman to Wolfgang Tillmans\u2014making this a rare auction that represents more than acquisitions. No wonder the title of the sale is \u201cShake It Up.\u201d Here Testino explains how he came to know and love some of the works with which he\u2019s parting.\nIn the art world, sometimes it\u2019s not enough to like something; you have to be puzzled by it. You hang it on a wall and every time you see [it], you discover something new. Sometimes I would find a work and I felt it was difficult, but then I\u2019d come back to it after some time and I\u2019d understand it and love it.\nI think that culture has a particularly important role in society: We learn how to look at things differently, and it pushes our boundaries\u2014that\u2019s what art does.\nUntitled (Girlfriend), 1993, Richard Prince\nRichard Prince, Untitled (Girlfriend),1993\nPhoto: Courtesy of Sotheby\u2019s\nI love the Richard Price biker\u2014the work is incredible. I have a lot of art, and this work is one of my favorites. I\u2019ve lived with it hanging above my bed at home for many years. When I saw it I was amazed at his ability to appropriate a photograph and make it different. To make it entirely his own.\nKate Moss with Richard Prince\u2019s Untitled-(Girlfriend), 1993, hanging above\nRichard Prince has been particularly interesting for me because he challenges me. He\u2019s somebody who has influenced me a lot in the way that I think. The idea of appropriation, for me, was a very new thing because I\u2019ve always been quite respectful about other people\u2019s property. But what I\u2019ve realized is that he made us look at things that we weren\u2019t looking at properly, challenging us to look at things differently.\nSubstrat 9 11, 2002, Thomas Ruff\nThomas Ruff, Substrat 9 11, 2002\nPhoto: Courtesy of Sotheby's / \u00a9 2017 Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York / VG Bild-Kunst, Bonn\nThomas Ruff really opened my eyes because in photography we were so driven by perfection\u2014making it look good, properly lit and exposed, properly composed\u2014but he deconstructs images to their most basic pixels, and that becomes the art form, which I think is an amazing way to work. I am constantly being challenged to look differently at the things I\u2019ve been taught, when actually if you do completely the opposite, you might be better off.\nAmerican Dream, 1999, Salla Tykka\u0308\nSalla Tykk\u00e4, American Dream, 1999\nEasy is boring! Sometimes I saw a work and didn\u2019t like it. But then I\u2019d ask myself why and come back to it. Why did I have this response? Why was I repelled? Then I\u2019d look again and again and it would change. Some of the works that I had problems with are now my favorites. I think that\u2019s important. To challenge yourself and your eye. I do the same with my work. Easy things are forgettable. I want to create images that last, and to do that they can\u2019t be easy.\nFire by Days I, 2011, Rita Ackermann\nRita Ackermann, Fire by Days, 2011\nMy body of work is varied, and I look for and at different things\u2014not all my images are so glamorous. The same is true of the collection. At the beginning I was collecting photography, and this was a sort of toolbox. I wanted to know what had come before so that I could make the next thing. The photographs I was collecting fed into what I was shooting but in an indirect way. The biggest lesson I learned collecting was to challenge myself. And I applied this to my work. Or maybe I learned to challenge myself in my working life and then applied it to the collection\u2014I forget which! They all merge into one.\nThe Wall, 1986, Gilbert and George\nGilbert and George, The Wall, 1986\nI\u2019ve had the Gilbert and George hanging in my home and almost didn\u2019t let it go! I don\u2019t know how I can communicate how hard it is for me to part with the works. It\u2019s a big exercise to detach yourself from your belongings in order to satisfy greater ambitions.\nI feel that it is time for these pieces to go and be loved by someone else. I feel I have consumed them, and I don\u2019t want to hold on to things just because of their value or their historical value. I\u2019ve been collecting for over 25 years and I\u2019ve never ever sold anything. Today is the first time that I\u2019ve decided to sell something, because I can see a reason to sell: It\u2019s allowing me to give back to the community that gave me everything.",

        "raw_content": "There are many kinds of three dimensional displays that have been developed to date. Most of them provide 3D visual sensation to the users, but they do not provide 3D haptic feedback. On the other hand, an interactive surface system using transparent gels enables users to touch a 3D surface. The main issue of the system, however, is that the image is distorted due to \"lens effect\" of the gels. This paper describes a method to solve the image distortion through the use of a light field display (LFD) which is discussed in detail in section 2. By combining the LFD and transparent gel interface, it becomes possible to show correct 3D images on gels from any viewing position.\n- Taro Tokui, Masami Yamasaki, Hideki Koike, Image correction techniques for 3D interactive surface using a transparent elastic gels, Proc. of the International Working Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces (AVI '12), pp.164-167, 2012.",

Wilson-Bernard\n+Sabbatical leave, half time each semester\nThe English Department faculty offers a wide range of courses in literature, creative and expository writing, and language/media studies. The course offerings are divided into introductory, intermediate, and advanced courses that meet the general and specialized needs of English majors and minors, as well as students throughout the college. The courses aim to develop careful readers and accomplished writers who possess skills of comprehension, analysis, interpretation, synthesis, and evaluation. The study of literature fosters a widening of the mind\u2019s horizons and a deepening of the heart. It enables us to make connections between our present historical moment and the past, thereby giving our vision depth and perspective. It gives us a sense of our common human journey as well as of our extraordinary possibilities. The poem, the play, the story, the essay: they are the best means we have for self-understanding, as individuals and as a species.\nAll students are invited to consider English 105-290 to fulfill distribution requirements in Language Studies and Literature and Fine Arts. These courses are introductory in nature. Courses numbered above English 290 usually have a prerequisite of any one English literature course at Wabash. Intermediate courses (titled \u201cStudies in ...\u201d and numbered from 300) will be structured according to various approaches to literary studies, the second digit indicating one of several approaches: Historical contexts (300); literary genres (310); literary modes (320); themes and topics (330); authors (340); media (350); multicultural and national literatures (360); special topics (370); language studies (390). Not all will be offered each year. Occasionally the content of the course will be altered (partly in response to student requests), but the critical approach will remain the same.\nRequirements for the Major: Majors are required to take the following English courses: (1) three of the six core survey courses (English 214-220) (These three courses should be completed by the end of the junior year); (2) English 397 (preferably in the sophomore or junior year); (3) four additional full courses (or their equivalent), including at least two full course credits labeled \u201cStudies in ...,\u201d and one \u201cSeminar\u201d course. English 101 does NOT count toward the major and no more than two Language Studies courses in English may be included in the required nine. The core survey courses should give the major a broad understanding of English and American literary periods; the additional six courses should help him determine those critical approaches most appropriate to his literary interests.\nFor Senior Comprehensives, majors must pass two department examinations: (1) an analysis of an unfamiliar text; and (2) an essay on a comprehensive question.\nThe minor in literature consists of two core survey courses and three additional courses in literature.\nThe minor in language consists of English 121, 122, 221, or 290 and 150, plus two and one-half additional courses selected from English 201, 202, 215-220, 390, 410, or 411.\nThe minor in creative writing consists of English 201 or 202, 212, 213, and 412 or 413, plus one and one half courses in writing or literature. Theater 210 (Playwriting) may also be taken for the minor.\nLanguage Studies courses in English include both writing (English 101, 190, 202, 212, 213, 410, 411, 412, 413) and language (English 121, 122, 150, 221, 290). Students with an interest in Creative Writing might wish to speak with Professors Hudson or Freeze about appropriate course selections.\nENG 190 Special Topics in Language: Introduction to Creative Writing 1\nENG 202-2 Studies in Language: Writing with Power and Grace 1\nENG 290 Special Topics in Language: Psycholinguistics 1/2\nENG 370 Studies in Special Topics: African/American Immigration 1\nENG 121 Introduction to Language: Language Diversity Reflected in Literature (HUM 121) 1/2\nENG 122 Introduction to Language: Modern Linguistics (HUM 122) 1/2\nENG 150 Introduction to Mass Communication 1\nENG 202 Special Topics in Writing: Creative Non-Fiction 1\nENG 221 Studies in Language: Sociolinguistics 1/2\nPrerequisites: Consent of the instructor and approval of the Department chair.\nPrerequisite: Junior or senior standing or permission of the instructor.

Into this pool I'd toss folks like Britney Spears, Kanye West, and John Galliano. (J.G.'s infamous 2011 anti-Semitic rants are shameful.) I don't know about you but for me, it's difficult to separate the creator from the creation. Having said that, I can't deny loving Baby One More Time, The College Dropout, and most everything that Galliano has created including the above gown. Say what you want about the former, but the latter is a fashion genius. And so the big guns at Maison Martin Margiela (famed French fashion house) are taking a major gamble and making him the boss. It's a bold move but if all works out, the payoff should be immense, not only in the form of dollars but also in fashion contributions. I will therefore begin holding my breath (and something tells me I'm not the only one) and praying that Galliano will remain respectively silent on all topics other than clothing.\nA Salute to Oscar de la Renta",

        "raw_content": "Harper Macaw: Discover D.C.'s Chocolate Factory\nHarper Macaw, a new artisan chocolate factory in Washington, D.C., run by husband and wife team Sarah and Colin Hartman, specializes in bars made with cocoa beans sourced from Brazil's Amazon and Atlantic rainforests. It's the only U.S. craft chocolate maker that sources cocoa beans from Brazil and one of the few that uses a 5-roll refiner, which ensures their chocolate has the best possible texture and smoothest mouth feel.\nAfter going to culinary school and then working for Valrhona chocolate company and realizing all of the socioeconomic and environmental issues surrounding the sourcing of cocoa beans, Sarah felt inspired to start a chocolate company and do things the right way. The couple's mission is to make high-quality chocolate, while practicing fair trade and being a force for tropical reforestation in Brazil.\nBrazil's Atlantic Forest, one of Earth's top biodiversity hotbeds, is over 90 percent gone. It's Earth's second most threatened terrestrial biome and its richest zone is the focal point of the cacao industry. Harper Macaw realizes that dramatic restoration efforts must take place for there to be a future for Brazil's cacao economy.\nThrough partnerships with nonprofits, Harper Macaw invests in a cutting-edge rainforest conservation initiative that acquires deforested and threatened land, and helps bring back native plants and wildlife.\nEach chocolate bar they sell restores and protects 20 acres of deforested or vulnerable rainforest in northeast Brazil. The company's name references the Harpy Eagle and Blue Hyacinth Macaw - two endangered birds that live in the rainforests the chocolate makers aim to protect.\nSarah and Colin work closely with the farmers to ensure they practice sustainable farming. They travel to their sources and purchase beans directly from farms to make sure they are compensated for their extra attention to detail, often paying premiums double the market rate and 15 times Fair Trade.\nHarper Macaw uses state-of-the-art tech and traditional European methods to turn their beans into chocolate bars. The chocolate-making process involves many steps: cleaning, roasting, winnowing, grinding, refining, conching, tempering, molding and cooling. Each step is performed with precision to produce high-quality chocolate with delectable flavor, aroma and texture. When asked how long it takes to go from bean to bar, Colin said it would take about a week, but that they never make it that way. \"There are so many variables at every stage of chocolate making. It's a science. If I had to choose a step that was the most difficult, it would probably be roasting because it has the most influence on the final flavor. There's a lot of trial and error that goes into getting the time and temperature just right,\" Colin says.\n\"High-quality chocolate has a nice shine to it and produces a crisp, clean snap when broken,\" Colin noted. He emphasized that dark chocolate should never taste bitter, but instead could taste lightly acidic, malty, fruity or nutty. \"You also want to look for cacao or cocoa beans and cocoa butter - not butter fat or oil - in the ingredients list to determine if the chocolate is good quality,\" says Colin.\nHarper Macaw currently makes dark chocolate bars with 70, 74, 75 and 77 percent chocolate, and two dark chocolate milk bars - one with 56 percent chocolate and crushed coffee beans and the other with 57 percent chocolate. \"Our bars that have milk in them have a high percentage of cocoa, so they are actually considered dark chocolate milk bars,\" Sarah says. They also make Bordeaux barrel-aged and bourbon barrel-aged bars that have been wildly popular and are made in part using an oak barrel they purchased from a local winery, and other specialty flavors such as rye whiskey and raspberry cheesecake.\nPick up some chocolate for Easter with a visit to the factory in D.C. or the pop-up boutique in District Wharf, and see firsthand how chocolate gets made. Both the factory and store feature their products and state-of-the-art chocolate process. Tours are held every Saturday 1-3 p.m. and provide an in-depth overview of sourcing and the chocolate-making process and end with a chocolate tasting. Products for sale are chocolate bars, cocoa nibs, chocolate chip cookies, pretzel streusel brownies and thick drinking chocolate. Shop hours are 10 a.m.-6 p.m. weekdays and 12-6 p.m. Saturdays. The chocolate bars can also be found in stores throughout the metro area. To learn more about Harper Macaw, visit harpermacaw.com.",

        "raw_content": "Washington-Tax-Alert-April-19-2010\nThe IRS National Office recently issued a favorable private letter ruling ( see PLR 201015024) to a loss corporation that had experienced a greater than 50 percentage point change in ownership. The ruling considered the requirement in IRC \u00a7 382(c) that the corporation continue its historic business enterprise for two years after the ownership change.\nDuring the two-year period after the ownership change, the corporation sold part of its assets which included the marketing of its only product. The corporation retained its research and development department, its patents and patent applications, and an antitrust and patent infringement lawsuit against a competitor. After the end of the two-year period, the corporation sold its research and development activities for contingent future payments. The corporation subsequently settled the antitrust litigation and licensed its patents for an amount that was greater than the amount it had received from the prior sale of assets.\nThe National Office held that the corporation's research activities and continued antitrust litigation regarding its business and patents constituted the use of \"historic business assets\" by the taxpayer, and such assets constituted a significant portion of the corporation's historic business assets. As a result, the limitation in IRC \u00a7 382(c) on pre-change carryforwards did not apply",

Are you surviving this weather? A reminder, in the dead of winter, I guess, is to \u201cwatch out what you wish for\u201d\u2026..\nI\u2019m contacting you to tell you about some changes in the Rigid Heddle Study Group\u2026..I have so enjoyed working with you and getting to know you, but I just am unable to continue with the evening sessions. My energy flags by late afternoon, and I can\u2019t really participate much in evening activities.\nThe good news is that Carol Delak, who has been so helpful in handling many of your weaving questions, has agreed to take over the role of coordinating the group. She lives in Becketwood, not far from where I live, in a large cooperative that has very nice meeting facilities\nTo start with, the RH group will go \u201con vacation\u201d for July and August, while Carol firms up her plans. She and I have talked and we, along with Beth Bowman, the Executive Director of the Weavers Guild, agree that a study group needs a strong core of some 10 members, and the focus of the group needs support from teachers in the Guild to help grow the membership. Carol and I will be working with Beth to secure that support. We also want to further publicize the existence of the group, as many Heddlers don\u2019t know about it.\nCarol will be in touch with you as September approaches to work with you on days and times, and to explain how her co-op works. She is hoping to be able to have firm meeting dates without having to cancel the day before. I know she has other plans that will add to the base the \u201cPrimary Group\u201d has established.\nSo I thank you for your interest and I wish you well in the Fall. I know you will have a great group under Carol\u2019s leadership.\n-Bonnie Buzza",

They have learned how to sustain a regular volunteer routine, communicate effectively and use public transportation. They are now ready for competitive employment and we are reaching out to businesses to help connect the people with opportunities.\nFortunately, this has been a real learning opportunity for The Community Brokers. We are learning that many prospective employers would like to hire people with disabilities, but they still hold misconceptions that we need to dispel. While this may seem like a challenge for us to overcome, when employers are honest about their concerns in hiring people with disabilities, we have an opportunity to introduce them to a person who would be a great fit for a position they have available. We are able to coach the employer to see how this person would be a great addition to their work force. Employers see that there often is no monetary expense to make accommodations \u2013 they just may need to take a bit longer to train the person and how to support the person on the job.\nSo we are working, albeit slowly, to reach out to prospective employers based on the strengths of the people we work with to build a community of belonging.

        "raw_content": "Cypress Morning\nhttp://www.weeklyfifty.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/WeeklyFifty-2017-September-13-Cypress-Morning.m4a\nOn the morning I shot this photo I was going through somewhat of a photographic slump. I think it was mostly due to the oppressive heat that was bearing down on Oklahoma through much of Summer 2017, and it was difficult to find the inspiration to get outside and shoot photos. I mean it, I barely even went outside at work which was a big contrast to other times of the year when I will often take a stroll around Theta Pond or head to the Student Union and back just to clear my mind. But boy howdy, after weeks of upper 90\u2019s and low 100\u2019s the thought of going on a walk was just not that appealing anymore. I was determined to find a way out of the picture-taking rut though, and even prayed about it on the morning I took this picture. Sure enough, as often happens when I submit things to the Lord, I found a couple of picture opportunities while biking to work that very morning.\nThe first was about a half mile from my house when I came across some flowers in a very small field right behind the strip mall I ride past each morning. I initially biked right on by and then stopped, turned around, and got down on my hands and knees with my D7100 to get a few shots of yellow petals poking up in the early morning. The shots were OK though nothing special, but I was glad I took the time to stop and at least try something. A few minutes later as I approached Boone Pickens Stadium on Hall of Fame avenue I decided to take a fairly innocuous detour and instead of taking my usual counterclockwise route around the perimeter of the colosseum I turned south at Gallagher-Iba Arena just because it would be different. And sure enough, it worked.\nAs I was riding south past the home of Cowboy Basketball I saw a row of cypress trees whose leaves were a mix of glowing green and deep brown, and the rich mix of colors in the morning light really was something special. At almost an other time of day the sunlight would have been too harsh to get a picture like this, but the sun just peeking over the horizon it bathed the whole scene in a warm glow that I don\u2019t often associate with cypress trees. I debated for a little while about whether to use a close-up filter but decided not to in order to get a broader sense of context for the green leaves, and shot at f/2.8 instead of f/1.8 in order to get the subject a bit sharper with a wider depth of field.\nStrangely, one of the trickiest parts of this shot was actually getting my camera to focus on the green leaves. Apparently it was small enough that my lens kept focusing on background elements instead of the green leaves in front, but eventually I got a shot that worked out fairly well. It was a good reminder that if I ever do get a little lost when it comes to photography ideas, a solution can present itself even if it lies just a hundred yards off the beaten path.\nNice shot. It evokes a sense of autumn with the rich gold and brown colors.\nI enjoyed reading about your success in regaining your desire to photograph. Weather can play a big part in my desire and motivation to get out and shoot also.",

        "raw_content": "Ninth Circuit Holds that \u201cReverse Confusion\u201d Need Not Be Pled with Specificity\nA plaintiff seeking to prevail on a trademark infringement claim needs to establish that there is some likelihood of confusion between its mark and that of the defendant. Generally, a plaintiff establishes that there is \u201cforward\u201d confusion by showing that customers believed they were doing business with plaintiff but because of a confusion in their respective marks, were actually doing business with the defendant. Sometimes, however, a plaintiff will seek to establish \u201creverse confusion\u201d in that a customer believing they were doing business with a defendant actually ends up doing business with the plaintiff. The Ninth Circuit, in the case Marketquest Group v. BIC Corp. (decided July 7, 2017), was faced with the issue as to whether a plaintiff seeking to prevail under a theory of \u201creverse confusion\u201d is required to plead that theory with specificity.\nFor nearly 20 years, Marketquest produced and sold promotional products utilizing its registered trademarks \u201cAll-in-One\u201d and \u201cThe Write Choice.\u201d In 2009, BIC Corporation acquired a competitor in the promotional products field and began publishing promotional product catalogs featuring the phase \u201cAll-in-One\u201d and in other advertising, using the phrase \u201cThe WRITE Pen Choice for 30 Years.\u201d Marketquest sued BIC for trademark infringement. After the District Court granted summary judgment to BIC, Marketquest appealed to the Ninth Circuit. (This article does not address the other issues decided by the Ninth Circuity other than the pleading requirement.)\nIn seeking to have the Ninth Circuit reject the appeal, BIC argued that Marketquest could not proceed under a \u201creverse confusion\u201d theory because it had not specifically pled such a theory in its complaint. The Ninth Circuit began by recognizing that the Lanham Act allows a trademark owner to pursue a cause of action against someone who uses the trademark in commerce \u201cwhen such use is likely to cause confusion.\u201d Given that neither party questioned the validity of Marketquest\u2019s trademarks, the Ninth Circuit recognized that the main issue before the lower court was \u201cwhether there is a likelihood of confusion: that is, whether Defendants\u2019 `actual practice[s were] likely to produce confusion in the minds of consumers about the origin of the goods \u2026 in question.\u2019\u201d Since at least 2005, the Ninth Circuit has recognized two theories of consumer confusion: \u201cforward confusion\u201d and \u201creverse confusion\u201d. See Surfvivor Media, Inc. v. Survivor Prods., 406 F.32 625 (9th Cir. 2005). Because Marketquest was attempting to establish trademark infringement under a theory of \u201creverse confusion,\u201d BIC argued that it was required to plead such a theory with specificity in its complaint and that having failed to do so, the lower court properly granted judgment against it.\nThe Ninth Circuit recognized that it had not addressed this issue before, but that the First Circuit, in Dorpan, S.L. v. Hotel Melia, Inc. 728 F.3d 55 (1st Cir. 2013), had. In that case the First Circuit ruled that \u201c`reverse confusion\u2019 is not a separate legal claim requiring separate pleading. Rather, it is a descriptive term referring to certain circumstances that can give rise to a likelihood of confusion.\u201d The Ninth Circuit adopted this approach and ruled in Marketquest\u2019s favor \u201cwhen reverse confusion is compatible with the theory of infringement alleged in the complaint, a Plaintiff need not specifically plead it.\u201d\nBIC argued that at least two prior Ninth Circuit cases required a different result. BIC first cited the Ninth Circuit\u2019s decision in Surfvivor to support its argument that strict pleading is required. However, the Ninth Circuit rejected this argument and held that the only the thing that the Surfvivor case held was that when reverse confusion is the only plausible theory in a trademark infringement complaint, a plaintiff cannot establish a viable trademark infringement claim based on \u201cforward confusion.\u201d\nBIC also cited Murray v. Cable National Broadcasting Co., 86 F.3d 858 (9th Cir. 1996) in support of its proposition that in order to plead a \u201creverse confusion\u201d theory, \u201ca plaintiff must allege that the defendant `saturated the market with advertising\u2019 or alleged actual reverse confusion from customers.\u201d The Ninth Circuit likewise rejected this argument recognizing that its Murray decision was decided before it had even recognized a theory of infringement based on \u201creverse confusion.\u201d More importantly, the Ninth Circuit concluded that the plaintiff in Murray had not alleged any cognizable trademark infringement claim regardless of whether it was based on \u201cforward confusion\u201d or \u201creverse confusion.\u201d\nThe Ninth Circuit concluded that although Marketquest did not use the words \u201creverse confusion\u201d in its complaint, nor did it allege that the defendants had saturated the market, it had alleged generally that customers \u201cwere confused `as to whether some affiliation, connection or association existed\u2019 among defendants and Marketplace and specifically alleged that there were actual instances of forward confusion (i.e., that consumers that that defendant\u2019s goods came from Marketquest).\u201d Although Marketquest did not raise issues of \u201dreverse confusion\u201d until its motion for preliminary injunction and later on summary judgment, the lower court\u2019s order did recognize that Marketquest was asserting infringement based on \u201creverse confusion.\u201d Although it had not pled such a theory with specificity in its complaint, the Ninth Circuit concluded that the lower court properly allowed Marketquest to proceed under a \u201creverse confusion\u201d theory and held that Marketquest was not required to plead such a theory with specificity in its complaint.\nThe Ninth Circuit\u2019s opinion in Marketquest will give plaintiffs some leeway in pleading their theory of trademark infringement. However, plaintiffs will still be required to allege some likelihood of confusion between its mark and that of the defendant in order to avoid a dismissal of their infringement claim.",

Its broad amenities and events, ranging from youth camps and workout classes to professional seminars and holiday parties, caters to a diverse group of people who all have the same goal of enriching their lives.\nBetween the camaraderie and the longstanding traditions enforced by the club, members, employees and guests alike feel less like another number in the membership book and more like a part of a large family.\nBy cultivating this culture of unity and friendship, it only makes sense to the club and its members to step up and show solidarity when times get rough for one of their own, and it was no exception when the mother of an employee in the tennis department was battling breast cancer.\nThe club banded together and executed its first annual Fight for Life Breast Cancer Awareness Tennis Tournament. The tournament had 50 participants and it raised $2,500 for Hope Lives!, a local charity that provides supportive services to local breast cancer fighters.\nWhether it\u2019s coming together for a fundraising effort, a celebration of a milestone, or just relaxing by the pool, the Fort Collins Country Club serves as a supportive oasis in the community.\nIf you would like to learn about making the Fort Collins Country Club your home away from home, visit http://www.clubcorp.com/Clubs/Fort-Collins-Country-Club/.",

The construction for this is expected to begin by the end of 2017. It will be connected with other Eden Projects across the world through some design elements so that it stands apart as an Eden Project on a macro level.\nThe second Eden Project in China would be located in Yan\u2019an, a city witnessing a considerable part of China\u2019s history including being the home of the terracotta warriors. The concept for the design here will explore the theme of land and soil and its importance for life on earth. Apart from this, ecological restoration will be projected as an important tool for future generations to understand and restore degraded sites located outside the city into a fertile valley full of flowers and agriculture. Like the first project, Eden Qingdao, it will have an ability to combine elements from other Eden Projects around the world.\nThe third project in the country would be located in Sheng Lu Vineyard, Beijing. Here, the aim is to design something which is able to reconnect us with the nature around us. Education and training programmes will also be featured here to help offer children and adults to engage in natural environment.\nSir Tim Smit, Co-Founder of the Eden Project said, \u201cEden\u2019s mission is to explore our dependence on the natural world, to use that understanding to excite people into delivering transformation where they live and to ask really serious questions about what a great future might look like for all of us.",

        "raw_content": "BioInsights, June 2003 - Issue 6: Patent Term Extensions Extend Revenues\nPatent Term Extensions Extend Revenues\nEven with recent steps taken by the FDA to \"fast track\" the new drug application and approval process, the period between application and approval remains lengthy. As a result, patent holders may be deprived of the full benefit of their patent. To remedy this loss of patent protection, many countries have adopted patent term extension laws allowing patent holders to recover the vital time lost to the regulatory review process. Even one additional day of patent protection can mean over a million dollars in revenues on a blockbuster drug product. This article describes the patent term extension process in the United States, Europe and Japan, summarizes two recent judicial decisions interpreting the laws and suggests strategies for drafting patent claims and licenses to take advantage of patent term extensions.\nIn 1984 Congress enacted the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act (the \"Hatch-Waxman Act\"), codified at 35 U.S.C. \u00a7156. The Hatch-Waxman Act counteracts the lengthy regulatory approval process for new drug products by increasing the life of the patent for a term equal to the regulatory review period, which is defined as one-half of the period commencing on the effective date of the Investigational New Drug Application (\"IND\") to the filing of the New Drug Application (\"NDA\"), plus the time from the submission of the NDA to the date of FDA approval of the NDA. Extensions are limited to 5 years, and no product shall have more than 14 years marketing exclusivity after it receives NDA approval.\nTerm extensions are available under the Hatch-Waxman Act for patented drug products and methods of using or manufacturing the products. The application for term extension must be filed within 60 days of receipt of marketing approval, and prior to expiration of the patent. In addition, the patent owner (or the owner's agent) filing for extension must have participated in the regulatory review process, which should be properly documented.\nThe Hatch-Waxman Act only extends the term of the patent claims that are directly covered by the FDA's authorization; other claims in the patent are not subject to extension. The Hatch-Waxman Act also limits the number of patents eligible for term extension to one extension per product and one extension per patent. Thus, if a patent contains claims relevant to more than one product, extension is available for only one of those products.\nBioInsights, June 2003 - Issue 6.pdf",

I want to express my appreciation to our physicians, nurses and staff for these outstanding results,\u201d said C. Wright Pinson, MBA, MD, Deputy Chief Executive Officer and Chief Health System Officer for VUMC.\nVUMC is nationally ranked in these 10 specialties:\nVUMC is also recognized as nationally high-performing in eight procedures and conditions:\nU.S. News evaluated 4,656 hospitals to determine this year\u2019s rankings. Initial eligibility to be ranked requires that a hospital must be a teaching hospital, or affiliated with a medical school, or have at least 200 beds, or at least 100 beds and offer access to certain medical technologies. Ranking in a particular specialty imposes a second eligibility requirement meeting a volume/discharge threshold that varies by specialty.\nSpecialty rankings assess hospital performance in 16 specialties. In 12 specialties, results are determined by data-driven analysis combining performance measures in three dimensions of health care \u2014 structure, process /expert opinion and outcomes.

        "title": "Home Phone Service Providers in Morris, CT | Wirefly",
        "raw_content": "Home Phone Service Providers in Morris, CT\nCompare and contrast the best home phone service providers in Morris, CT at Wirefly. Consumers who want the phone service that works best for their home start by examining the options offered by different providers. Although affordable pricing is a primary consideration, the features and benefits of the service are equally important. Reliability, also, factors heavily in evaluating service options. Other important aspects of a service to consider includes clarity of sound and whether there are any restrictions. Consumers aim to find a service that provides all of these elements allowing them to live life without worrying about their phone service. VoIP calls require an internet connection capable of supporting the service. View home phone service carriers in Morris, CT and the surrounding areas below.\nTraditional Landline Telephone Service and Long Distance Phone Service in Morris, CT\nMorris, CT Home VoIP Telephone Service\nCellular and landline companies usually assign random telephone numbers to customers. There normally isn't any opportunity to customize a new number. On the other hand, people with VoIP often have the ability to select a desired area code. It doesn't have to be the standard area code for Morris, CT. This advantage doesn't really matter to some customers, but it can potentially benefit people with home businesses. The selected area code will affect the amounts that some callers pay to contact a business.\nDSL Phone Service in Morris, CT\nLike traditional phone service that runs over wires, DSL phone service in Morris, CT runs over copper lines but provides faster, better service than your run-of-the-mill telephone line services. Consumers use a modem to integrate their internet and phone services, and providers typically bundle the services together as a cost effective convenience. Starter DSL packages can begin as low as $19.95, with costs increasing based on the speed of the desired internet service. Want a lower price? Consider using a contract plan through a provider to enjoy better pricing through some providers.\nDSL service in Morris, CT is better for a lot of consumers than traditional phone service because it allows customers the benefits of bundling their phone and internet together into a 2-in-1 affordable service. Not as sophisticated as VoIP, DSL is a step above traditional telephone/dial-up service, where consumers can only use either the telephone or internet, one at a time. DSL does have a downside. It is significantly less reliable to consumers who live farther away from their provider. DSL users have also reported busy lines when too many customers are using their lines at once. This can be tricky during the holiday season, and has proven to be problematic during extreme emergency situations.\nTraditional Phone Service For Home Users in Morris, CT\nA traditional home phone service is sometimes called a \"standard,\" \"landline\" or \"PSTN\" service. It's the most straightforward type of service available in Morris, CT, as it only requires a phone to be plugged into a wall jack in the home. Calls are carried by a network of cables. For several decades after the telephone was first invented, traditional phone service was the only option that home users could choose from. Due to advances in technology, there are now many other service types that are increasingly being favored by consumers. Many people, especially those in the younger generation, prefer a wireless phone service instead.\nEven though it relies on a technology that has existed for well over a century, traditional phone service is very reliable and offers excellent call clarity. Reports of technical problems with traditional service are fewer than with options relying on more recent advancements in technology, which is its biggest advantage. It does come with a few disadvantages. A regular phone service is only available inside the subscriber's home and cannot be used on the go, unlike wireless and most VoIP services. It can also be relatively expensive. The most reputable landline phone service providers in Morris, CT, charge an average of $49.99 per month.\nWireless Home Phone Service in Morris, CT\nToday, many consumers are choosing wireless phone service because it offers a variety of features and benefits. One of the greatest advantages of going wireless is unmatched mobility. Consumers can use a wireless phone service to make calls from almost anywhere in the country. Cell phone services give consumers several options for payment plans, and the two major plans are prepaid and pay as you go. The prepaid service allows consumers to only pay for the minutes they use, and it's an excellent plan for people who don't make many calls. The other payment plan consists of monthly payments, and it can be a great choice for people who spend a lot of time talking on the phone. It's even a great choice for consumers who plan to use a lot of mobile data and access the Internet. Use the Wirefly cell phone plan comparison tool to compare cell phone plans in Morris, CT and find the best plan in your area.\nMany of the newest smartphones can be converted into a mobile hotspot, which broadcasts an Internet connection to family and friends. By choosing a wireless phone service in Morris, CT, consumers can enjoy great flexibility while traveling. Wireless service is useful at home, but it can be even more convenient while traveling. The only downside of choosing to go wireless is the cost. A standard wireless plan can cost quite a bit more than the alternatives. However, it's usually the best option for people who're always using the Internet or talking on the phone. One of the potential downsides of wireless service is reliability, which isn't great in some areas. When searching for a home phone service in Morris, CT, Wirefly makes it easy to compare many different service providers.\nCompare Other Services in Morris, CT\nInternet Providers in Morris, CT\nBusiness Phone Service in Morris, CT\nMortgage Rates in Morris, CT\nCell Phone Plans in Morris, CT\nBusiness Internet Providers in Morris, CT\nHome Security Systems in Morris, CT\nAuto Insurance Quotes in Morris, CT\nHealth Insurance Plans in Morris, CT\nMoving Companies in Morris, CT\nArea Codes for Morris, CT\nCable TV Providers in Morris, CT\nHome Phone Service Providers in Morris, CT ZIP Codes",

Keep in mind that your real estate agent\u2019s job is to close the sale as quickly as they can, not get you the best deal on a mortgage. Finding and securing a home loan is a long and arduous process that should not be rushed. This is especially true if this is your first time buying a house.

Before you apply for any home loans, try to boost up your credit score as much as possible. This way you can be sure that you are being offered the best rates.\nDifferent Mortgage Options in Nutting Lake, MA\nOne of the things consumers need to look at when choosing a home loan is a fixed-rate or adjustable-rate loan. With a fixed-rate loan, the interest rate will stay the same throughout the life of the loan. It will not change, so people will know exactly what they will pay each month toward their principal. Individuals in Nutting Lake, MA will have the option of a 30-year mortgage loan. However, some people might prefer to shorten the life of the loan to save money.\nFHA Home Loans in Nutting Lake, MA\nSince fixed-rate home loans and adjustable-rate mortgages are the most common in Nutting Lake, MA, your decision should center on either of the two. However, other options are worth your consideration. These are none other than regular of government-insured mortgages. The most prominent government-insured home loans include but are not limited to FHA, USDA, and VA loans. What makes conventional mortgages distinct from government-insured home loans is the fact that the former does not have federal government insurance. FHA loans, also referred to as Federal Housing Administration mortgages are subject to management by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. With Federal Housing Administration mortgages, everyone is a benefactor regardless of whether you are a first-time borrower or not. If you or any other borrower defaults on repaying a home loan, it is the federal government that compensates the lender on your behalf. Thus, all banks receive protection from potential losses in this type of mortgage. Under this program, you can make a down payment of 3.5% of the entire home value to secure its purchase. However, such an arrangement might cost you in the long run. Before gaining access to the mortgage, you ought to first pay for the mortgage insurance, a factor that increases your monthly payment.\nRefinance Mortgage in Nutting Lake, MA\nAfter a person lives in their home for a few years, they may want to check to see if interest rates have fallen to a level that would make it cost effective for them to refinance. Typically, if a Nutting Lake, MA homeowner can lower their interest rate by a couple of points, it makes sense to do so. They will also want to take a look at closing costs as those will be included in the process. When a person is refinancing their home mortgage, it is the same as taking out a brand-new home loan. A lender will require the same financial information from a buyer. Again, this is why a person should be diligent about keeping their credit score high. A person will want to take advantage of lower rates if they initially locked in a higher interest rate when they first purchased their home.\nCompare Other Services in Nutting Lake, MA\nInternet Providers in Nutting Lake, MA\nBusiness Phone Service in Nutting Lake, MA\nCell Phone Plans in Nutting Lake, MA\nHome Phone Service Providers in Nutting Lake, MA\nBusiness Internet Providers in Nutting Lake, MA\nHome Security Systems in Nutting Lake, MA\nAuto Insurance Quotes in Nutting Lake, MA\nHealth Insurance Plans in Nutting Lake, MA\nMoving Companies in Nutting Lake, MA\nArea Codes for Nutting Lake, MA\nCable TV Providers in Nutting Lake, MA\nMortgage Rates in Nutting Lake, MA ZIP Codes",

        "raw_content": "Mortgage Rates in Colcord, WV\nCompare Mortgage Rates in Colcord, WV\nBuying a new home is a thrilling experience; however, it can also be stressful and overwhelming. Applying for a mortgage loan in Colcord, WV can be a complicated and long process. One of the most important things for people to consider when getting a home loan is the interest rate. Interest rate can change frequently, so individuals need to compare rates to see where they can get the best deal. At Wirefly, we will make it easy for people to find the lowest rates. We will give borrowers the information and tools they need to secure the lowest rate. If people will be patient and do research on loans, they will not pay a higher interest amount than they need to. Money will then be saved.\nGet the Best Mortgage Rate in Colcord, WV\nIndividuals who are shopping for a home in Colcord, WV will usually require the assistance of a lender. Even though some homes in the area may be as inexpensive as $50,000, it is still quite a burden for many individuals. When a person goes shopping for a home loan, it's best to find the lowest interest rate possible. This ensures that more money goes towards the principle than it does interest. This allows an individual to put more money into other necessities or bills. Of course, lenders will typically refer a person to a mortgage company that they have a relationship with. While this may be helpful, it is not always the best option. It's advisable to compare home loans online so that a person gets the best deal. Buying a home is a big decision that should not be run through quickly. Of course, most individuals want to complete the process as fast as possible but taking the time to find the best mortgage rate in Colcord, WV can save a person a large amount of cash in the long run. By utilizing the mortgage rate tool that Wirefly provides, it gives a person a chance to compare and find an interest rate that will save them money. In addition, a person should always strive to pay their bills on time and keep a good relationship with all creditors. A person's credit score will play a huge role in determining an interest rate.\nMortgage Types Available in Colcord, WV\nMortgage loans in Colcord, WV are designed for all types of buyers. Some individuals may be purchasing their home for the first time, and others may be refinancing to receive a lower interest rate. When a person goes to shop for a loan, they will find two main categories: conventional loans and government-backed loans. Conventional loans can be set up so that a person pays a fixed rate or a variable rate.\nAn adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) is another type of conventional loan that is chosen by some individuals. It is easiest to show how this type of loan works with an example. A 3/1 ARM is a popular adjustable rate mortgage that is offered in Colcord, WV. If a person chooses this option, they will pay a fixed rate for three years and pay a variable rate for the next 27 years of the loan. This option is usually a wise choice for individuals who will not be staying in a house for an extended period of time. If a person thinks that they will be living in the home for longer than five years, they may want to consider a fixed-rate loan as interest rates could continue to rise year after year. They would be stuck with higher mortgage payments if they initially chose an ARM.\nFHA Mortgage Loans in Colcord, WV\nAnyone in Colcord, WV is eligible to apply for an FHA loan. These loans are offered by the Federal Housing Administration, which is run by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, or HUD. People can qualify for this loan with less than perfect credit, and they only need to make a 3.5% down payment. One of the cons of this type of loan is that mortgage insurance is required, which will increase the monthly payment amount.\nOptions for Refinancing Mortgages in Colcord, WV\nIf you are looking to refinance your home in Colcord, WV, it is essential to comprehend that you are actually applying for a brand new mortgage. This means that closing costs may be your responsibility upon approval of the application. If you are hoping to decrease your interest rate by refinancing, you should evaluate whether the extra fees will negate any savings you gain from refinancing to a lower interest rate.\nThere is an exception to this rule if you are refinancing from an adjustable rate mortgage to a fixed rate option. Since rates are almost guaranteed to increase in the future, a fixed rate loan protects you against rising interest rates. For individuals searching for the best interest rate on their mortgage, it is crucial to be deemed 'low-risk' by lenders. The best way to achieve this status is by maintaining a credit score over 700 and keeping a low debt-to-income ratio. However, even if you fail to meet the most strict standards, you may still qualify for an excellent mortgage rate in Colcord, WV.\nCompare Other Services in Colcord, WV\nInternet Providers in Colcord, WV\nBusiness Phone Service in Colcord, WV\nCell Phone Plans in Colcord, WV\nHome Phone Service Providers in Colcord, WV\nBusiness Internet Providers in Colcord, WV\nHome Security Systems in Colcord, WV\nAuto Insurance Quotes in Colcord, WV\nHealth Insurance Plans in Colcord, WV\nMoving Companies in Colcord, WV\nArea Codes for Colcord, WV\nCable TV Providers in Colcord, WV\nMortgage Rates in Colcord, WV ZIP Codes",

        "raw_content": "Home > Books & Media Reviews > Foreign Policy into the 21st Century: The U.S. Leadership Challenge\nForeign Policy into the 21st Century: The U.S. Leadership Challenge\nby Douglas Johnston, editor\nDouglas Johnston, editor\nCenter for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). Washington, D.C. 1996. 176 pp. Paperback. ISBN: 0892062924.\nReviewed by Andrew E. Rice\n\u201cWe move into the 21st century much too unfocused as to our nation\u2019s role and responsibilities.\u201d So begins this book, published in September, 1996, whose principal purpose is to identify the United States\u2019 national interests (as they relate to international affairs), to prioritize these interests as \u201cvital,\u201d \u201cimportant,\u201d or \u201cbeneficial,\u201d and then recommend policies to serve them.\nIt is an ambitious 160-page report, the consensus of two years of study and debate by a bipartisan steering committee and seven working groups, organized by the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, and co-chaired by Zbigniew Brzezinski, Rep. Lee Hamilton (D-Ind.) and Sen. Richard Lugar (R-Ind.). Almost all of the 50-plus participants in the project were former U.S. government officials.\nThe book reflects the diplomatic outlook and experience of its multiple authors, with most of its recommendations falling within traditional geopolitical boundaries. Major attention is given to relations with the rising East Asian states, Europe, the Middle East, and Russia, as well as to overall international security strategies.\nMany of the book\u2019s prescriptions look ahead over a relatively short time span, but there are others that respond to a second stated purpose of the project\u2013 namely, to call attention to \u201cthose significant but \u2018nonvital\u2019 issues (often global in nature) that, if left unattended today, could become the \u2018vital\u2019 problems of tomorrow.\u201d\nThe section on Asia sets out an agenda that calls for: strengthening policies and security ties with Japan; working with China to develop a mutually beneficial framework for Chinese integration into the international economic, political, and security order; reconfirming U.S. determination to see a peaceful evolution of relations between China and Taiwan; taking steps to increase stability on the Korean peninsula; and developing an integrative strategy toward South Asia. Then the report goes on to say:\n\u201cLeft unmentioned in the above listing of interests and policy prescriptions is what might be catalogued as a beneficial interest, i.e., supporting initiatives to maintain the ecological health of Asia\u2026Beijing has openly stated that it will not sacrifice economic growth for the sake of the environment\u2026Yet, for Beijing to feed its people, it must either find a way to double its grain output over the next 20 years or be prepared to make massive purchases in the international markets. Asia\u2019s ecological problems in the coming century are likely to prove severe, if not overwhelming, to the states in the region and will most certainly pose a special challenge to U.S. leadership.\u201d\nIn the Middle East section, the report calls for continuing U.S. support for the Middle East peace process. But in a break with the accepted thinking of the recent past, although without actually naming Egypt or Israel, it holds that the United States should \u201creevaluate the practice of specifying precise amounts of foreign assistance for selected states.\u201d\nTwo of the project\u2019s seven working groups, those on \u201cU.S. International Economic Interests\u201d and on \u201cGlobal Problems and Opportunities\u201d dealt with some of the issues of particular interest to readers of Hunger Notes\u2013 development, environmental degradation, migration, and human rights. For the least developed countries, the report recommends focusing support on project assistance aimed at institution building and the creation of private sector jobs \u201cin order to fortify civil society and the center of the political spectrum against destabilizing threats from the right and left.\u201d To the extent possible, the report ads, this aid should be channeled through the private sector and NGOs. But these issues are touched on lightly in the book\u2013 so lightly, in fact, that although there are brief references to poverty, the word \u201chunger\u201d never appears in the text.\nIn short, Foreign Policy into the 21st Century: The U.S. Leadership Challenge presents a generally enlightened but largely traditional diplomatic foreign policy \u201cestablishment\u201d view of the future. To this reviewer, it gives inadequate attention to such phenomena as the growing importance of \u201cnon-state actors\u201d in the emergence of civil society as an organized force, or the goals set by the UN global conference of the past five years. If the United States is to provide full leadership into the 21st century, it must also take account of these new global realities.\n\u2013Andrew E. Rice is Chairman Emeritus for the International Development Conference.",

        "raw_content": "State auditor suggests plan to fund infrastructure, some skeptical\nBy Lydia Nusbaum, WSFA |\nMONTGOMERY, AL (WSFA) - State leaders have said they are making infrastructure a top priority this session and are considering a gas tax increase.\nBut Monday the state auditor, Jim Zeigler, released a plan which he says will fund infrastructure without a gas tax increase.\nZeigler wants lawmakers to take $63 million from the general fund budget and use it to pay for a 20-year-bond issue for infrastructure.\nHe suggests three ways to pay for the $63 million hole. First, he wants to use the money on unused store gift cards, and give it to the state.\nSecondly, he wants to rely on the state's economic growth to fund this. Thirdly, he wants to cut an average 1.5 percent of the administrative costs of most state agencies.\n\u201cI\u2019ve given them a way to avoid having to vote on a tax increase as their first major vote,\" Zeigler said. \"This is a way to fund the highways and infrastructure needs without a gas tax increase.\u201d\nHowever, some are skeptical about how feasible the plan is.\nGeneral Fund Budget Chairman Rep. Steve Clouse said the state can\u2019t depend on the economy to make up that much of a hole in the general fund budget as Zeigler suggests.\n\u201cThe revenue growth that we\u2019re experiencing right now is from the income tax and sales tax and the general fund doesn\u2019t get any of that,\" Clouse said.\nThe Education Trust Fund receives most of the money from the income and sales tax revenue.\nEconomist Dr. Keivan Deravi said there could be consequences for taking this much money out of the general fund.\n\u201cThe general fund is already cash strapped this diverting any existing appropriations and potential future growth from it can be serious unintended consequences for the fund,\u201d Deravi said.\nZeigler said he has sent the plan to lawmakers and the governor. The governor has not commented on the plan.",

        "raw_content": "New Zealand offers a strong business environment that has everything a startup or business needs to succeed. In fact, the World Bank Group rated New Zealand as the world\u2019s top ranked economy \u2013 outperforming Singapore for the first time ever. Of considerable interest was the group\u2019s claim that New Zealand had the most business-friendly regulatory system.\nIncorporation comes with a number of requirements including responsibilities for directors.\nThis is one of the major reasons why starting a business in New Zealand is so attractive. The o nly question you need to ask yourself is: Should I incorporate?\nLimited Liability Companies: Higher costs, greater protection\nThe true power of a company is that it is a separate entity from its shareholders, who own the business. What this means is that a company\u2019s legal nature limits the liability of its shareholders, so if something goes wrong they may not be held accountable.\nA company has a number of upfront and ongoing costs to set up, such as an annual filing fee. Most of these stem from documentation and while some are optional, it is always best to have secure documentation in place to govern internal and external relationships. The other side effect of this is that companies limit the control a single person has over the decision-making process.\nThe first piece of documentation is the company constitution, which sets out the rights, powers and duties of stakeholders \u2013 such as a director. Legal advice is essential to ensure that a constitution is drafted and written so to cover all business aspects necessary.\nIncorporating can be a great way to reduce personal risk.\nNew Zealand\u2019s requirements on directors\nIn New Zealand, a company must have at least one director and one shareholder. The law also states that every company must have one director that either lives in New Zealand or Australia. New Zealand laws state that an individual cannot be a director if they are under 18, an undischarged bankrupt or prohibited from: \u201cdirecting, promoting or participating in the management of a company under any statutory provisions\u201d.\nIf there is more than one shareholder, it pays to think about a shareholder agreement. It dictates the relationships between shareholders, such as expected dividends. But unlike a constitution, it can be decided and implemented before incorporation.\nAs each business and the people behind it are unique, it is essential to talk to commercial lawyers who have experience in business structures. Sitting down with a lawyer can ensure that you are aware of your risk profile and which business structure fits your needs.\nIf you are looking to start up a business but do not know which option is best, make sure you talk to a representative of Wynyard Wood today.",

        "raw_content": "Wyvern Media\nWyvern Media is a Publishing and Media Production Company that focuses on providing high quality rounded material for all forms of Art and Research, from Martial, through Historical, into Broadcast.\nOur primary focus is on attracting both leading and upcoming people into a high quality platform that will best serve both their needs and the Arts that they represent. Wyvern Media does not limit itself to a single subject although our initial primary goal is the promotion of physical Arts and Historical research - for example with Historical European Martial Arts.\nWyvern Media will accept and consider all types of submissions as long as they have a focus upon Art Forms or Historical Research. We also provide bespoke services for design and production - including private and corporate work.\nThe Sword and Buckler were an ubiquitous duo in the middle ages and the Renaissance.\nIn spite of being often neglected, the buckler has an interesting story to tell.\nThis book offers a new and deep insight into this fascinating small shield. Starting with the history of the buckler, this work also covers the typology, the construction as well as the methods of carrying a buckler.\nThe catalogue of extant original bucklers in the second part of the book is an invaluable resource for the enthusiast as well as the professional.\nHerbert Schmidt is an internationally acclaimed expert in sword and buckler fighting and this book represents the results of many years of research on this topic and is so far the only comprehensive work on the medieval and renaissance buckler.\nHow a Gentleman shall be Armed\nLa defense dans la rue (lit. \u201cDefence in the street\u201d) developed in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as a response to the rise of the French criminal underclass; gangs of notorious professional thieves and robbers preying upon the wealthy middle and upper classes to relieve them of the contents of their pockets.\nProfessional fencing and boxing teachers recognised that their skills in the sporting arena had become not only somewhat limited by rules of \u201cgentlemanly\u201d conduct but also overly elaborate and thus set about to reintegrated the various martial arts of the era to create a complete package of skills that worked at a variety of ranges and would cover all eventualities. These teachers did not shy from also considering weapons for personal protection, reasoning that if the criminal was proficient in their use then a gentleman should have no qualms either.\nThis book contains Emile Andr\u00e9\u2019s advice on the use on not only the walking stick, an everyday item for the era, but also the knife, truncheon and even swordstick and pistol for the edification of historical martial artists, re-enactors and historians alike.\nThe Game of the Sword\nThe famous Jules Jacob, master-at-arms at the prestigious \u201cl\u2019Ecole d\u2019Escrime Francaise\u201d was best known for adapting the classical foil game to the needs of the duelling ground, putting forward the revolutionary argument that fencing should represent, as closely as possible, a real fight with the duelling sword or \u00e9p\u00e9e.\nHis approach used simple, easy to learn yet highly efficient techniques while developing the best qualities of both instinctive sword use and tutored fencing.\nThese techniques, tactics and mindset found in Jacob\u2019s \u00e9p\u00e9e method also greatly influenced the weapons techniques to be found in Defense dans la Rue, the French self-defence method for gentlemen, that Jacob\u2019s editor for this work, \u00c9mile Andr\u00e9, would go on to document along with others such as John Joseph Renaud who wrote in his \u201cTrait\u00e9 d'Escrime Moderne\u201d of 1928 that,\n\u201c[the] method of Jules Jacob was excellent at the time. His very intelligent system was primarily intended to combat pure foil fencers. Jacob\u2019s unskilled students were able to inflict damage to well-known foilists in a duel\u201d\nMajor William John Elliot was a Victorian British civil servant, army reservist and author on military subjects. He trained under some of the leading martial arts instuctors of his day and later in life wrote this helpful little manual as a record of the styles of foil fencing, sabre, bayonet and boxing that he was taught. For the first time since the 19th century this manual is here re-published, now with the addition of biographical data and an introduction to Victorian martial arts by Matt Easton.\nA Newer, Shorter and Easier Method of Defence\nSir William Hope's New, Short and Easy Method of Fencing represents a system by which a gentleman of the early 18th century might learn to defend himself with those swords commonly available to him, such as the small-sword. This book presents for the modern reader a curriculum for studying Sir William's idiosyncratic, yet effective, system for fighting with that weapon. Included also are some notes upon the spadroon as well as a discussion of techniques in his earlier work, The Sword-Man's Vade Mecum.\nDefensive Sports\nEmile Maitrot was a highly accomplished all-round sportsman who used his experience as a professional boxing professor and Defense dans la Rue instructor to write this very practical self-defence manual.\nFirst published in France during the early 1900s this manual provides its readers with insights into combining English pugilism with French savate and Japanese jiu-jitsu alongside the effective use of weapons such as the truncheon and walking stick, counters to the common \"dirty tricks\" used by the Apache gangs and advice on defensive techniques specifically for women.\nTranslated into English for the first time this manual gives a fascinating insight into an often overlooked aspect of the past useful for martial artists, reenactors and historians alike.\nBorn in 1836 Georges Dubois was an expert all-round martial artist. As a result of developing an interest in Jiujitsu he wrote this book on practical self-defence intended to demonstrate techniques and advice that anyone, young and old, male or female, skilled or unskilled, could apply in an era where violent attacks by thugs were common.\nThe Noble Science Volume 2\nContinuing with the second volume of the journal for the discerning and gentle practitioner. Containing diverse papers on the native European Arts and Sciences of Defence\nChris Stride's Medieval German Longsword\nThis book provides an opportunity to study the martial system behind the Art that is medieval German longsword, as taught by Johannes Liechtenauer in the mid 14th Century and glossed by Sigmund Ringeck the Elder (c. 1502). The contents include a brief explanation of medieval training practices, followed by a detailed description of the late medieval longsword, including an in-depth analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the various training simulators available.\nWyvern Media has taken over the publishing of 'The Noble Science Journal' series, previously published by Mark Hillyard. We have relaunched the original publications and will be publishing the new Journals.\nVolume 1 is available for you to buy right now through our online shop.\nCombined Fiore\nWe have painstakingly produced a complete illustrated translation of the three primary Fiore Manuscripts and they are here presented in a combined form with common techniques on a single page for easy cross-reference.\nThis important new publication will be available soon.\nSecundus follows on from Primoris in buiding a complete curriculum programme for Fiore dei Liberi. This second stage of the curriculum will be available later in 2012.\nThe smallsword developed from the rapier as a distinctly French weapon comprising a lighter, shorter and more agile blade than the rapier with comparatively simple hilt.\nThe smallsword did not require the elaborate lunges and large body actions of the Italian schools of fence and so a French method of fencing developed to suit; relying on an upright stance, dextrous use of the fingers to manipulate the point and emphasis given to multiple intent actions like the feint or parry-riposte to decrease the risk inherent in stop-thrusts, single-time defences and other actions which increased the chance of a double hit.\nThis book provides access to the comprehensive original material in Girard\u2019s smallsword manual, a solid yet diverse representation of the \u201cCommon\u201d smallsword method of the era and its use in a range of settings and also provides insight and ideas as to how to put these words into practice with articles and essays for the interest of historical fencers, re-enactors and historians alike.",

Robert and his wife, Katherine Thorn eagerly look forward to the birth of their first child. Robert is a United States Diplomat assigned to the Italian consulate, as well having the ear of the United States President since Robert is his nephew, which places Robert in a high place of power.\nThe movie starts as Robert quickly arrives at the hospital where his wife Katherine has just given birth. However, when Robert arrives he learns from the doctor that their child died at birth, but his wife has yet to be informed. Robert is naturally devastated and is trying to figure out how to help tell his wife the tragic news when the doctor offers a suggestion; as it so happens, another baby was born at exactly the same time and the mother died in childbirth. The doctor tells Robert that the mother had no relatives and the father had died months ago, which leaves the baby with no one, he suggests accepting this child as his own and sparing his wife the tragic news of their own child\u2019s death; Robert agrees and the child is named Damian.\nAlthough the Thorns believe that their child is a perfectly normal and healthy little boy, after the death of a close friend of Robert\u2019s which lines him up as the Ambassador of England they soon find themselves confronted with events that contradict this. Katherine finds herself noticing things aren\u2019t quite right thanks to little clues such as Damian having a fit of violent anger when they attempt to take him to a ceremony at church. Soon after Katherine learns she is pregnant and confesses her doubts about wanting the child to Robert and soon loses the child when Damian knocks her over a railing. Robert, approached by a photographer who has found evidence that something isn't quite right, begins investigating.\nPredrag Bjelac, Carlo Sabatini, Bohumil Svarc, Liev Schreiber\nMore Like The Omen\nThe Omen News\nWatch The Omen Trailer\nThe Omen|1:43\nThe Omen (2006) Teaser Trailer #1|1:25\nWatch The Omen Online - Watch online anytime anywhere: Stream, Buy\nThe Omen is currently available to watch and stream, buy on demand at Amazon, Vudu, FandangoNow, iTunes, YouTube VOD online.",

Through interviews with his former wife, colleagues, friends and enemies who knew him, Birkut emerges as a man who believed in the socialist ideals and the workers revolution. Unlike many of his colleagues and compatriots Birkut refused to forgive and forget. His disappearance became, in effect, the unrelenting conscience of the revolution. However, the young filmmaker's hard-driving style and the content of her film unnerve the authorities, who thinks it's getting too close to a political nerve...\nNot only regarded as one of the greatest, most important films in the history of Polish cinema, it is also one of the key films of the 1970s and one of the most compelling attacks on government corruption ever made.\nThis ground-breaking feature is presented in an all new HD digital restoration, and features exclusive, newly filmed interviews with director Andrzej Wajda, lead actress Krystyna Janda and renowned filmmaker Agnieszka Holland who was Assistant Director on Man Of Marble.\nWith Director Andrzej Wajda\nWith Star Krystyna Janda\nWith Filmmaker Agnieszka Holland\nNew HD transfer\nBooklet essay by Michael Brooke",

        "raw_content": "Rest in peace Russell Shaw; We'll miss you\nUpdate below: Some mornings stink. I had gone offline for a few hours Saturday to wake up this morning to find that Russell Shaw died.\nBy Larry Dignan for Between the Lines | March 16, 2008 -- 03:40 GMT (20:40 PDT) | Topic: Networking\nUpdate below: Some mornings stink. I had gone offline for a few hours Saturday to wake up this morning to find that Russell Shaw died. At this point, I'm just stunned.\nDan and I were emailed by Russell's girlfriend Ellen, but details are still sketchy (see Techmeme). He died\non March 14 in a hotel room. Like Marc Orchant, Russell, who covered VOIP, broadband and Research in Motion for ZDNet, passed without a hint that something was wrong. He was always quick with a joke and as Matthew Miller noted was an enthusiastic blogger.\nTo lose two people in the ZDNet family in just a few months is shocking. In fact, Russell, who just turned 60 in November, was on his way to cover the Emerging Technologies Conference and VON. The last note I got from him was this.\nIn san jose hotel. After three planes, from alabama have come down with something.\nResting now posts to resume later today or tomorrow\nRuss Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T\nIt sounded like the same bug we've all had for the last week. And then last night about 6:45 p.m. EDT, I got an email from Russell's girlfriend saying he passed away. He never made it to VON. She's trying to contact people at VON and the other show he was going to attend. His funeral will be held in Florida.\nI'll update as we find out more. Rest in peace Russell. I'm just shocked. We've lost another one.\nUpdate: Talked to Ellen. She said that Russell's funeral will be a week from today (March 23) in Florida, but didn't have much more detail than that at the moment. It's also unclear what caused Russell's death, but \"he wasn't feeling well at all Thursday night\" and \"he thought he could sleep it off.\" We'll pass along more details about the funeral home and other items as we get them.",

        "title": "What is an Ebook and Why Every Business Should Have Ebooks",
        "raw_content": "Good content draws customers in and is the fuel that runs inbound marketing. Ebooks represent an effective technique to turn prospects into leads and customers.\nEbooks are simply books in an electronic format. They can use a variety of formats like PDF, Epub, Mobi, Kindle, Flash or just plain HTML.\nThey can be read on any number of devices including desktops, laptops, phones, tablets, and e-readers. Because they exist in electronic form, they don\u2019t incur any printing costs and once written can be distributed at little to no cost.\nMost Ebooks put out by businesses are in PDF format. This format is easily readable on different devices and is easily created from Microsoft Word documents. In fact, it\u2019s been standard in Microsoft Word since 2010.\nPDF readers are built into web browsers and most people instantly know how to consume PDF documents. Other formats can be utilized, depending on marketing goals. For example, some businesses may benefit from making their books available on the Kindle store.\nEbooks can be created from existing resources, such as blog posts, or can be created from scratch. Ebooks can be about any topic and are best used as a source of help.\nThe goal of eBooks is to generate leads while establishing a connection and providing helpful information for your target audience.\nWhy Should Every Business Have Ebooks?\nEbooks are great for generating business leads. They appeal to people towards the beginning of buyer's journey, those just looking for information who aren't necessarily ready to buy.\nFor example, say someone is searching for information on a topic and comes across your website. You so happen to offer a free eBook filled with valuable information about that topic and all they need to do is provide their email for the download link.\nThis prospect is more than likely going to fill out the form and download the eBook to gain access to more information about the topic.\nAt this point, your business now has the email address, and possibly even the telephone number (if you collected it from the form) of someone who has already expressed interest in your content.\nThis now gives you a lead in which you can help nurture throughout the buyer's journey with more helpful content and follow ups and potentially close into a sale later down the road.\nComplement Existing Strategies\nIf your company is doing inbound marketing, you likely already have a blog and an email list. You might also have white papers and case studies available to potential customers on your website.\nEbooks are an important complement to these existing strategies. They provide appropriate content to help market the business and can build on the information provided in case studies, blog posts, and white papers.\nYour company could provide an eBook that acts as a guide for a certain strategy. For example, say you have an eBook that's a \"Guide to Social Media Advertising\". This eBook could complement a case study by showcasing results from your recent social media advertising campaigns.\nNot only will this allow your content to work together, but this transparency and use of real data will allow you to establish a connection and credibility with your audience.\nThis eBook could then further complement your existing strategies by being featured in existing and new blog posts, social posts, email campaigns and more.\nBuild Customer Goodwill\nEbooks can be used for more than just lead generation. They can be a great way to ongoingly stay top of mind with current leads and customers.\nEssentialy, you are giving away tips and tricks to enable your target audience to be as successful as they can be. This can help you build relationships with your customers while showing you have their best interest in mind.\nNothing helps credibility quite like writing a book about a subject. Going through the process of writing a book involves a lot of knowledge, learning, and experience with the topic. This learning translates into further subject expertise. People understand this process.\nBy writing an eBook, you can portray yourself as a thought leader in the industry and substantiate your expertise. This will further build your credibility with your target audience.\nWrite or put together every eBook with your target audiences best interest in mind. Ask yourself questions like, \"Why would someone read this? How will they benefit from doing so?\" This will help ensure you stay focused in your efforts and provide the most value possible with your eBook.\nEbooks are a premium content offer that every business should consider implementing into their marketing strategy. They can be used to generate and nurture leads as well as establish credibility and a connection with your target audience.\nEbooks can also serve as a complement to your existing marketing strategies and portray you as a thought leader in your industry.\nTopics: Content Marketing, Ebook, Business Tips",

        "raw_content": "EEOC Sues Discovering Hidden Hawaii Tours for Male-on-Male Sexual Harassment\nCompany PresidentSexually Harassed Male Employees for More Than a Decade, Federal Agency Charges\nHONOLULU, Hawaii - Three related Hawaii tour companies -- Discovering Hidden Hawaii Tours, Inc., Hawaii Tours and Transporta\u00adtion, Inc. and Big Kahuna Luau, Inc. -- violated federal anti-discrim\u00adination laws by allowing the ongoing sexual harassment of male employees, the U.S. Equal Employ\u00adment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit it filed today.\nAccording to EEOC's lawsuit, the president of Discovering Hidden Hawaii Tours engaged in a pattern of sexually harassing young males after recruiting them to work for his companies. The harass\u00adment, which spanned more than a decade, included inviting males to join in sex parties with him; show\u00ading them pornographic videos and photos; requiring them to show him their private parts in order to be considered for employment; making employment opportunities contingent upon engaging in sexual acts with him; and performing unwanted sexual acts on male employees.\nThe EEOC further contends that when employees complained about the harassment, the company failed to take corrective action. Some male employees felt that they had no other recourse but to quit. In some instances, the president retaliated against male employees after they complained about the harassment to their supervisors, according to the suit.\nSuch alleged conduct violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC filed its suit in U.S. District Court for the District of Hawaii (EEOC v. Discovering Hidden Hawaii Tours, Inc., Case No: 1:17-cv-00067) after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process. The agency's suit seeks back pay, along with compensatory and punitive damages for a class of individuals, as well as injunctive relief intended to prevent any future discrimination and harassment in the workplace.\n\"All employees, regardless of gender, have the right to work in a harassment-free workplace and should never be forced to endure such abuse,\" said Anna Park, regional attorney for the EEOC's Los Angeles District, which includes Hawaii in its jurisdiction. \"I applaud these young men for coming forward to tell their stories.\"\nGlory Gervacio Saure, director of the EEOC's Honolulu Local Office, added, \"Harassment is alleged in 31% of all charges filed with the EEOC. When employers fail to address workplace harass\u00adment, employees often feel that they must choose between putting up with the abuse or quitting. No one should have to make that choice.\"\nAccording to the company's website, www.discoverhiddenhawaiitours.com, Discovering Hidden Hawaii Tours provides guided tours of Oahu, Maui, the Big Island, and Kauai.\nIndividuals who may have experienced sexual harassment or have information pertaining to sexual harassment in connection with employment at Discovering Hidden Hawaii Tours should contact the EEOC at 808-541-3133 for more information.\nPreventing workplace harassment through systemic litigation and investigation is one of the six national priorities identified by the Commission's Strategic Enforcement Plan (SEP).",

        "raw_content": "Information regarding the submission of annual personal income tax returns\nAs of April 1st, 2015 tax returns for determination of annual personal income tax for 2014 should be submitted only in electronic form, through the Tax Authority\u2019s web portal e-Porezi. Taxpayers who have not yet submitted returns for determination of annual personal income tax for 2014 are required to submit it in the PPDG-2R form, prescribed by the Rulebook on tax return forms for the determination of personal income tax payable by way of assessment. In order to submit the tax return electronically a person should have a valid digital certificate (electronic signature). A taxpayer may authorize another person (with a digital certificate) to submit the tax return electronically.\nPlease note that taxpayers of the annual personal income tax are individuals \u2013 residents, and non-residents, for income generated on the territory of the Republic of Serbia, whose net annual income exceeds the threshold of three average annual salaries in the respective year, according to data published by the Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia (2,211,336 RSD).\nInformation regarding the submission of corporate income tax returns\nAs of April 1st 2015 tax returns for corporate income tax, except withholding tax, should be submitted only in electronic form, i.e. corporate income tax returns (Form PDP) are submitted through the Tax Authority\u2019s web portal e-Porezi. It should be noted that forms prescribed by the following bylaws are also to be submitted electronically: Rulebook on the contents of the tax balance and other issues relevant for assessing corporate income tax, Rulebook on the means of reporting income and expenses for assessing profits realized by a nonresident taxpayer\u2019s permanent establishment on the territory of the Republic of Serbia and the Rulebook on the means of classifying fixed assets into groups and the means of determining tax depreciation.\nNew rulings of the Ministry of Finance\nSeveral Ministry of Finance rulings have been published in the past period aimed at clarifying and elaborating the implementation of provisions of the Law on value added tax. Additionally, two rulings related to the implementation of the Law on audit and the Law on accounting, which affect taxation in Serbia, have also been published. The following have been selected:\nThe place of supply for the organization of clinical drug trials and performing clinical drug trials\nThe place of supply for clinical drug trials is considered to be the place of the service recipient\u2019s business activity, or the place where the service recipient\u2019s permanent establishment is located. On the other hand, the place of supply for services of organizing clinical drug trials is deemed to be the place where service provider is located.\n(Ministry of Finance Ruling, no. 011\u221200\u221264/2014\u221204 from January 5, 2015)\nDetermining the VAT base in case when the supply of goods is made at price lower than the purchase price\nThe basis for VAT calculation is the amount of money, goods or services which the taxpayer receives or should receive as remuneration for the supplied goods or services from the goods and services recipient, or by a third party, without VAT, and the same principle is applied in case a VAT payer is performing a supply of goods at a price lower than the purchase price.\n(Ministry of Finance Ruling, no. 011\u221200\u2212599/2014\u221204 from January 12, 2015)\nThe right to deduct input VAT computed for the supply of goods stored in a customs warehouse in 2012, as well as VAT paid for the importation of those goods\nIn case when the VAT payer purchased natural gas in 2012, which was at the time of supply stored in a customs warehouse and was subsequently imported, the VAT payer has the right to deduct both input VAT computed by the supplier and VAT paid during import, assuming that other legally prescribed conditions are met. If the VAT payer did not use the right to deduct the previously mentioned input and import VAT during the VAT period when the right was acquired, it can be deducted in one of the following VAT periods.\nThe preparation of transfer pricing report for the audited entity by the audit company in the year for which an audit of the entity\u2019s financial reports is performed\nAuditing companies can prepare the transfer pricing report of the audited entity in the same year in which the audit is performed, if the transfer pricing analysis does not affect the valuation of financial statement positions. The auditing company should always consider the effect of the transfer pricing analysis on the entity\u2019s financials, where there is a possibility to perform these services simultaneously.\n(Ministry of Finance Ruling, no. 011\u221200\u22121125/2014\u221216/2 from February 3, 2015)\nDetermining the difference between entertainment and advertising expenses\nWhen determining the difference between entertainment and advertising expenses, for accounting and tax purposes, the general rule states that expenses for advertising purposes are incurred under the same conditions and aimed at a greater number of unknown persons (as regulated by internally drafted documents on the amount of recognized expenses), while entertainment expenses are aimed at particular persons, determined ahead of time.\n(Ministry of Finance Ruling, no. 430\u221200\u2212379/2014\u221208 from March 30, 2015)",

        "raw_content": "Multiple sclerosis ( MS ) is a chronic neuroinflammatory condition of the central nervous system ( CNS ). It is a major cause of neurological disability in young adults, particularly women.\nWhat triggers the destruction of myelin sheaths covering nerve fibres is unknown.\nBoth genetic and infectious agents have been implicated. Of the infectious agents, Epstein-Barr virus ( EBV ), a common herpesvirus, has the strongest epidemiological and serological evidence. However, the presence of EBV in the CNS and demonstration of the underlying mechanism(s) linking EBV to the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis remain to be elucidated.\nResearchers aimed at understanding the contribution of EBV infection in the pathology of multiple sclerosis.\nThey examined 1055 specimens ( 440 DNA samples and 615 brain tissues ) from 101 MS and 21 non-MS cases for the presence of EBV using PCR and EBER-in situ hybridization ( EBER-ISH ).\nEBV was detected by PCR and/or EBER-ISH in 91/101 ( 90% ) of MS cases compared to only 5/21 ( 24% ) of non-MS cases with other neuropathologies.\nNone of the samples were PCR positive for other common herpesviruses ( HSV-1, CMV, HHV-6 ).\nBy quantitative PCR, EBV viral load in MS brain was mainly low to moderate in most cases.\nHowever, in 18/101 ( 18% ) of MS cases, widespread but scattered presence of EBV infected cells was noted in the affected tissues by EBER-ISH.\nImmunohistochemical analysis of EBV gene expression in the 18 heavily infected cases, revealed that the EBV latent protein EBNA1, and to a lesser extent the early lytic protein BZLF1 were expressed.\nFurthermore, using double-staining researchers have shown for the first time that astrocytes and microglia, in addition to B-cells can also be infected.\nThis is the most comprehensive study demonstrating that EBV is present and transcriptionally active in the brain of most cases of multiple sclerosis and supports a role for the virus in MS pathogenesis.\nFurther studies are required to address the mechanism of EBV involvement in MS pathology.

        "raw_content": "You are here: Home Fundraising Fundraising Profiles Fundraising Profile Brad Hawkes\nA friend of mine was raising funds very successfully for Movember. I asked him what his secret was. He said that you need to keep reminding people in an interesting way so that they want to finish reading the email. So he would dress up in very humorous ways as famous people who had a moustache. This lead me to think about ways to make fund raising interesting and funny. I also wanted to go one step further to actually generate a reward if someone was to donate immediately.\nThe result was a short video clip. I used my two sons and a couple of mobile phones to video a funny failed attempt to get fit. The video builds as the bike heads for a ramp to jump a wide river. But to see the final inevitable failure, one must donate. My donation thank you email contains a link to the full video.\nhttp://youtu.be/aSvY67iGRUo\nSince I'm not really a cyclist at all, many were surprised I'd jump into this adventure, particularly on a mountain bike. I think it's great raising the awareness of the charities too. Great to see people talking about where the money is going too!\nI have had overwhelming response from the video. I used the video to raise money for myself and my wife. Between the two of use, I guess it raised over $1500.\nI've been surprised how people that you would never expect and don't know very well, often donate the most. Thanks to all my sponsors! :) So don't limit the people to advertise to.\nI've learned so much about cycling in the past few months. I'm lucky to have many great friends that are already quite good cyclists. They have helped so much. It helps training so much if you have some friends to go cycling with.\nInitially I was worried that no one would sponsor me, and I'd have to pay a $1000 to go. Once the video idea worked well for me, I was motivated by one of the promotional videos for my charity (ADRA). Those in poverty could make our money go so much further than we can.\nMore in this category: \u00ab Fundraising Profile Claire Rabaa\tFundraising Profile Wayne Born \u00bb",

        "raw_content": "Filmmaker Raghu Gudiveti AKA Raghavendra Gudiveti\nIf you\u2019ve ever been in an editing room or bay as they are called by the pros, then you realize that it\u2019s one of the last steps in putting a movie, web series or TV show together. This is where the story gets put together in the order that the director and producers and writer envisioned it. The editing bay is also the place that can be quite confusing if you don\u2019t know what you\u2019re doing as the editor.\nWe had a chance to speak with a highly trained and motivated editor at his Hollywood editing bay. Raghu Gudiveti AKA Raghavendra Gudiveti from Hyderabad, India, has been passionate about films and Television since he was a young boy in India. Although he initially went to school and received a Bachelor\u2019s degree in communications and Engineering, he soon realized that he needed to follow his heart and immerse himself in filmmaking, which is exactly what he did.\nHe jumped on a jet plane and flew 8,700 miles to Tinsel town, AKA Hollywood, and enrolled in the legendary New York Film School. He studied all things film and TV there and earned himself a Master\u2019s degree (with honors) in Film and Media. After he got out of New York film Academy He directed and edited 5 short films, one of which was selected to be shown at the Los Angeles Cinema Awards, where it won The Best Short Film Prize. Not bad for a guy who just flew in from India.\nWe saw a couple of his award-winning short films, Alive and Attitude, both of which had been put together masterly. The editing and directing brought clarity to the great stories and they both looked extremely professional. We loved Alive because the story moved along so briskly and its thoughtful moments lingered just long enough to give us a break and set a new pace. Raghu edited both of those films, which let us know that he is not only passionate about movies but also that he pays attention to the craft of his work. That is, He is a master of timing. Each cut has a meaning and gives meaning to a scene. If the cut is not done in the right place then the scene\u2019s meaning and mood can change drastically. When Raghu is in the editing bay, he takes all the confusion out of the project and takes control. That is the sign of a true professional.\n\u2190 John Oates Performs At The Troubador With His Band \u2018The Good Road Band\u2019\nCrew 52 Delivers Stellar Show Opening for \u2018The Baby\u2019s\u2019 At The Rose \u2192",

        "title": "Peter Wolf Looks Back on Tom Petty, Ahead to Possible HOF Entry",
        "raw_content": "Peter Wolf Looks Back on Tom Petty, Ahead to Possible HOF Entry\nConcord / Jerod Harris, Getty Images\nPeter Wolf has been spending a lot of time lately looking both forward and backward. The J. Geils Band singer was heartbroken at the death of his old tourmate Tom Petty, but is looking forward to another shot at Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction since the band was recently nominated for a fifth time.\nWhile out on a run of shows in New England to support his 2016 album, A Cure for Loneliness, Wolf took some time to reflect on his past and future. He took our conversation all the way back to the dawn of rock \u2018n\u2019 roll (which he witnessed) and chatted about how, even at 71 years old, he had no plans of giving up his microphone.\nYou spent some time with Tom Petty both in the early days, when he opened up for the J. Geils Band in the late \u201970s, and just this past summer, when you opened for him on the Heartbreakers' 40th anniversary tour. Had you kept in touch all that time?\nYes, they were out with us for a bit, and they were a great band even then, he was a great songwriter even then. I had a chance to get to know the band and Tom, and yes, we did stay in contact throughout the years, even if we didn\u2019t see each other often.\nBack in the \u201970s, there were these bands like Geils or the Heartbreakers, the E Street Band or the Silver Bullet Band, that could turn on a dime. You and your peers could play rock or soul, blues or Americana. What gave you and these other bands the ability to do that?\nYou have to look back at the founding of rock \u2018n\u2019 roll, someone like Elvis was doing country and gospel ballads and R&B songs and straight-ahead Carl Perkins rockin\u2019 stuff. Then you have to look at who was listening to Elvis and the first generation of rock \u2018n\u2019 roll. Those first generation influences really had a profound effect on people like myself getting into rock \u2018n\u2019 roll. Tom Petty had those influences too. He saw Elvis down in Florida on a movie set, then he saw the Beatles on Ed Sullivan, then when the Stones finally got on TV and he saw them that got him into the idea of putting together a band. But it\u2019s all about who you listened to. Look a band like the Pixies and you see other influences, Velvet Underground, the Sex Pistols and things like that.\nYou mention those first events that hooked Petty. Was there one moment that made you stand up and proclaim your undying devotion to rock?\nMy lightning bolt, my first encounter with live rock \u2018n\u2019 roll, besides seeing Elvis on TV, was my first concert at the age of 10. Even as I think about it I can\u2019t quite believe it. It was Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Holly, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers, the Chantels, the Everly Brothers, Joanne Campbell and Blonde Bombshells, and, well, I know I\u2019m forgetting a few.\nWhat? How is that even possible? That\u2019s like the Woodstock of the '50s.\nWell, I\u2019ll tell you how. It was the Alan Freed Cavalcade of Stars. My older sister was a dancer on the Alan Freed TV show and she got passes to this concert. I went with her, and man, I couldn\u2019t believe it. Little Richard, I couldn\u2019t believe it. Jerry Lee Lewis kicking the piano stool across the stage and jumping on the piano, I couldn\u2019t believe it. Screamin\u2019 Jay Hawkins coming out of a coffin with a big stick with a skull on it singing \u201cI Put a Spell on You,\u201d I couldn\u2019t believe it.\nI can see how that show could change the course of a life.\nI know, I know. Oh, wait -- Dion and Belmonts was also on there. I saw several of those cavalcades at the age of 10 and 11. So, other than Elvis, I got to see the many of the founders of rock \u2018n\u2019 roll in concert. I saw Bo Diddley at a very young age. I saw Roy Orbison at a young age. And it hit me like a born again religious moment. It just did something to me and I\u2019d play the records from those artists over and over and over in my bedroom. We lived in a little apartment and I must have drove everybody crazy. But it\u2019s funny, I still have those 45s and I still listen to them.\nSounds like listening to as many different artists as possible was key to developing that talent to do rock, soul, blues and everything else. As a kid, was your mission to absorb it all?\nWhen I was trying to learn about music, it was all about hunting down your favorite records at record stores all over town, and that wasn\u2019t easy. I remember when the Jeff Beck band came to town and I took Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood record shopping and they were hunting for early Sam Cooke records and things they couldn\u2019t find in England. They had to go hunting or they would miss things. But today, it\u2019s all available on YouTube, for better or worse. If somebody is 15 years old and reads a bio of someone he likes or hears Tom Petty talk about his influences, this kid can just get right on YouTube and check it out. That\u2019s an advantage that people like the Beatles, Stones, Geils Band and Petty didn\u2019t have.\nI know it must be hard because you have lost a lot of friends lately. Tom Petty, singer and songwriter Don Covay, whom you worked with, and Bobby Womack. On A Cure for Loneliness, you do a tribute track to Womack, \u201cIt\u2019s Raining,\u201d that you wrote with Covay. Can you talk a little bit about how that track came to be?\nBobby is somebody that is underappreciated by most of the public. The two of us had planned to do something for several albums. At one point he was sick, so it didn\u2019t work out. But it was so strange because Kenny White, a singer and songwriter in his own right, got a blast on his cellphone when we were together and told me Bobby Womack had just passed. It was kind of eerie because we were about to send him the track to check out and then I was going to make plans to go out to Los Angeles to record with him. He was somebody I\u2019d known for many, many years. I first met Bobby back when he was working with Sly Stone, but I\u2019d been a huge fan since the early days when he was working with his brothers in the Valentinos. As the years passed, he only kept writing, kept being an outstanding writer and singer and guitar player. You could hear him on Wilson Pickett records and Aretha Franklin records, but never got the recognition he still deserves.\nTalking about getting recognition, the J. Geils Band are up for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame again. What are your thoughts on that? Do you feel like it\u2019s long overdue to make the cut or do you not pay attention to that kind of stuff anymore?\nI\u2019ve been at almost every induction ceremony. I have missed a few but not many. I inducted Jackie Wilson, who is still one of my all-time favorite artists. I got to induct Paul Butterfield. I gave a tribute and performed for Otis Blackwell, a songwriter who wrote a lot of Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis songs. I also performed with Aretha Franklin, Solomon Burke and Elvis Costello at a Sam Cooke tribute at the Hall in Cleveland. Man, that was something. So I have been involved with the Hall for a long time.\nSo it sounds like you\u2019d be pretty thrilled to finally make the cut?\nI know the award is an honor. It\u2019s something we hope to get because of the recognition it brings. But this is our fifth time up and many people thought we\u2019d get it the first time, or definitely the second time, or definitely the third time, so who knows? We can\u2019t control that. But for me, I\u2019ve enjoyed seeing many of the artists that I idolized get inducted.\nIt seems like so many from your generation, Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young and Petty keep writing, recording and touring as long as they can, but do you ever think about retiring?\nBack in the 1800s, you\u2019d see a classical composer doing some of their finest work in their later years. The same thing is true of painters -- people like Matisse and Picasso, they kept painting until the day they died and nobody would say to them, \u201cDo you ever think about stopping?\u201d Painting is what they did and this is what I do.\nDifference is that onstage you have to have a ton of energy. I\u2019ve seen you live a few times and you need to be in great shape and voice to do what you do.\nThere are definitely physical demands to what we do, but we know that going in. A lot of these times you just get in front of the audience and you have an uncontrollable reaction. It\u2019s not anything I think about, I\u2019m not thinking, \u201cOkay, on this number I\u2019ll do this and then later I\u2019ll go over to this side of the stage and do that.\u201d I just let loose and find myself just lost in the music.\nNext: Top 10 J.

        "raw_content": "Growth Hormone and Estrogen Receptors\nOne of the major hormones involved in growth control is, of course, growth hormone (GH). Growth hormone usually acts indirectly, instructing the liver to synthesize insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I). IGF-I stimulates the production and division of the cartilage cells. In most giants, there is an increase in the production of growth hormone. Among African Pygmies, a people noted for short stature, there appears to be a severe reduction in the number of growth hormone receptors, resulting in a reduction of liver IGF-I and small limbs (Bozzola et al. 2009). Similarly, certain small breeds of dogs (such as Pomeranians and toy poodles) are characterized by a reduced-function allele of Igf1, whereas large breeds (such as Newfoundlands and St. Bernards) are characterized by different allele of this gene (Sutter et al. 2007; Parker et al. 2010).\nThe pubertal growth spurt and subsequent cessation of growth are induced by increased growth hormone production regulated by the gonadal steroid hormones (Kaplan and Grumbach 1990). Estrogen appears to be important for bone growth in both men and women. Relatively low levels of estrogen stimulate skeletal growth in men and women, whereas the higher levels that occur at the end of puberty induce apoptosis in the hypertrophic chondrocytes and stimulate the invasion of bone-forming osteoblasts into the growth plate. There have been several documented cases of men who do not produce estrogen (Smith 1994; Juul 2001). These men continue to grow even in adulthood and may approach 7 feet in height. Their epiphyseal growth plates do not mature and thus remain full of dividing chondroblasts. In most cases, this deficiency is due to a loss-of-function mutation in the gene encoding aromatase, the enzyme that converts testosterone into estrogen; in such instances, therapy with estrogens is able to stop the excessive growth.\nEstrogen receptors are found in the cells that regulate growth hormone production, as well as in all the cells of the human growth plate. Thus, the effects of estrogen on growth may involve both the regulation of growth hormone and more local effects on the growth plate itself (Juul 2001; Karimian and S\u00e4vendahl 2011). Both growth hormone and estrogen antagonists (such as aromatase) can increase final height of young boys and girls, but there are often severe side-effects (Karimian and S\u00e4vendahl 2011; Mauras 2011). It is even possible that estrogen ensures that all the growth plates of the body close at about the same time (Nilsson and Baron 2004).\nParathyroid hormone-related peptide and Indian hedgehog\nThe growth plate is a rapidly changing population of cells. In young rats, for instance, there are about 40 cells in a column of chondrocytes. During peak growth, about eight cells per day die and are replaced by bone, and another eight chondrocytes replace them (Wilsman et al. 1996). The length of these proliferating chondrocyte columns is controlled largely by parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrP) and Indian hedgehog (Ihh). Ihh maintains chondrocyte cell division directly (by activating cyclin D1 synthesis) and prevents the chondrocytes\u2019 immediate hypertrophy. Ihh is made by the cartilage at the \u201cbottom\u201d of the column as the chondrocytes begin to hypertrophy. This Ihh diffuses \u201cupward,\u201d stimulating cell division and increasing the number of new chondrocytes in the column. PTHrP, which is stimulated by Ihh, prevents premature hypertrophic differentiation in the young chondrocytes at the base of the growth plate. As the chondrocytes leave the influence of PTHrP, they begin to hypertrophy, die, and are replaced by bone. In this way, Ihh and PTHrP regulate the length of the chondrocyte columns (Figure 1, Part B; Vortkamp et al. 1996; Kobayashi et al. 2005). In humans, mild loss-of-function mutations in the protein encoding PTHrP result in short stature and short fingers (Provot and Schipiani 2005).\nFigure 1 Model for endochondral ossification in the limb. (A)In situ hybridization in the limb of a 14.5-day mouse embryo showscollagen-2 mRNA (green) in the proliferative growth plate cartilageand Gdf5 mRNA (red) in the region destined to become a joint.Nuclei are stained blue. (B) Regulation of cartilage cell proliferationby PTHrP and Indian hedgehog. (1) PTHrP acts on receptorson proliferating chondrocytes to keep them dividing and therebydelays the production of Ihh. (2) When the source of PTHrP productionbecomes sufficiently far away, then Ihh is synthesized. Indianhedgehog acts on its receptor on chondrocytes to increase the rateof proliferation and (3) to stimulate the production of PTHrP at theends of bones. (4) Ihh also acts on the perichondrial cells envelopingthe cartilage to convert them into the osteoblasts of the bonecollar. (A courtesy of Dr. P.

        "raw_content": "So much for the conference championships being the best of the best, eh?\nI mean, there were definitely two teams that were clearly the best in their respective conferences. There were also two teams who, by their displays on Sunday, have the teams they beat to get there ready to take the bridge.\nMetaphorically, of course.\nWe knew the NFC Championship wasn\u2019t going to be a defensive struggle. What we didn\u2019t know was that the Green Bay Packers were going to forget how to cover anyone. Ever.\nAdd to that the fact that they Atlanta Falcons QB Matt Ryan was only under pressured on 11 of his 38 pass attempts, which obviously yielded no sacks, the Packers registered one pass defensed. One. 37 other pass attempts failed to make contact with a Green Bay defender.\nWere the Falcons that good? Or were the Packers that bad? Well, a little of both. I mean, the Falcons offense is easily the best in the league this year. You don\u2019t need me to tell you that. The Packers defense was hobbled by injuries all year, but they managed to corral the Dallas Cowboys in Dallas and the New York Giants at home.\nThe Falcons offense, orchestrated by this year\u2019s \u201csecond coming of football Christ\u201d: Kyle Shanahan, was just another animal. They whooped the Seattle Seahawks and Sunday made sure the world knew it was no fluke.\nWhat was really striking was just how out of it the Packers offense really was. From winning the opening coin toss and deferring on the road with a suspect D. That, my friends, is called putting all your eggs in one basket. The Falcons defense has been better as the season went on, but holding Packers QB Aaron Rodgers to 4-for-10 on third down is really something. The Packers seemed to be lacking something. Other analysts called it \u2018effort\u2019. I think that\u2019s ridiculous. You\u2019re going to tell me that the Packers just weren\u2019t into it? One game away from the Super Bowl? I\u2019m not buying it.\nRodgers just wasn\u2019t Rodgers when it counted. The shoelace sack just mystifies me. I mean, lesser QB\u2019s go down like that all the time. Rodgers has always seemed to be above mediocrity. Not Sunday.\nThe Falcons head to Super Bowl LI against the New England Patriots, who will surely come up with some unusual way to take away all-world WR Julio Jones. If Shanahan really is a gifted game planner, we\u2019ll find out on the grandest stage because you know Patriots coach Bill Belichick and defensive coordinator Matt Patricia will be ready.\nI\u2019ll call it a moral victory if none of the Falcons get arrested for solicitation this time.\nAtlanta Falcons, Green Bay Packers, NFC Championship Game, NFL, Super Bowl, Super Bowl LI",

        "title": "The Nine and Thirty Kingdoms: Dungeon Shorthand: A Quick Reprise",
        "raw_content": "I had several blog posts in the back of my mind, but I waited far too long, forgot most of what I wanted to write, and felt the rest was no longer strongly relevant. So instead, I'll respond to a recent call-out on G+, where someone recalled I had been working on ways to turning text into dungeons.\nThere were actually a couple such projects, with different goals, but the main one was something I called dungeon shorthand. This was both a way to represent a dungeon as text and a way to take arbitrary text and turn it into a dungeon. It wasn't necessarily about a computer program to turn text into dungeons, although that was always in my mind as a possibility. It was mainly about using the huge volume of already existing text on the internet or in ebooks as a source for dungeon designs.\nI made a couple different forays into this, each time trying to simplify things while simultaneously increasing the variety of dungeons possible. Here is a summary of my current thinking on how to do it.\n1. Every word is one room. Spaces and punctuation separate one room from the next.\n2. The length of a word is the width of the room west to east, ten feet per character.\n(Rooms are square, by default. Word length = room size. The word \"room\" would be a 40-foot square room.)\n3. Every line of text is one \"line\" of rooms, arranged west to east.\n(So the first word of the next line is a room placed south of the first word/room of the previous line. Poetry or text with word wrap applied to limit the line length will fill up a dungeon level in a more or less traditional manner. What you do with long lines is up to you: Apply word wrap first? Just make a dungeon that is extremely long from west to east?)\n4. Every paragraph is one dungeon level.\n(Paragraphs, here, mean blocks of text separated by blank lines. Position of one level compared to the next is not strict; you can line up the first room in the upper left of each level, or you can line up based on any stairs or shafts indicated in the levels.)\n5. Changes in case divide rooms into sections, making rectangular or irregular rooms.\n(Each string of letters in all upper case or all lower case counts as one section. In other words, think of \"BIGrig\" as two words/two rooms with no wall between them. By default, the south wall of each section lines up. \"BIGrig\" is thus a rectangular room, 30 feet north/south, 60 feet east/west. \"bigROOM\" would be irregular, a 30-foot square merged with a 40-foot square to the east. I picked the south wall so that the word would visually resemble the shape of the room.)\n6. Some letters change default directions of a feature. If no feature is specified, it's an exit.\nLetters N, S, E, W are standard compass directions. A and U are Above/Up. B and D are Below/Down.\n(The only feature I've mentioned so far has been the room sections of Rule 5. By default, the second section is west of the first section: \"bigROOM\" is a 30-foot square followed by a 40-foot square to the west, but \"tinROOM\" is a 30-foot square room merged with a 40-foot square region to the north, with the western wall of each area lined up. The last letter of each section indicates the direction of the next section.\nDirection letters in the middle of a word or section indicate exits, which by default are doorways. \"GIANT\" is a 50-foot room with an exit in the north wall. Since each letter represents ten feet of wall, you can place doorways based on counting letters before/after the direction letter. Double letters, like NN, are double-wide doorways.\nIf a direction letter is followed by a symbol, then the letter indicates the direction of that feature. A hash symbol/number sign represents bars or a grate, for example, so \"on#ly\" is a 40-foot square room with a grate in the north wall.)\n7. Commas, periods, colons, and semicolons are doors, hyphens are hallways.\n(No distinction is made here between types of doors, but you could assign different descriptions to each symbol: a comma could be an ordinary wooden door, a period could be an iron door, semicolons and colons are twice as thick.)\n8. Numerals are also hallways, but the value of the number is the length of the hallway, in feet.\n(This assumes the number isn't preceded by another symbol. \"-35\" is still a 35-foot hallway, but \"#35\" is a 35-foot long line of bars.)\n9. Quoted text is treated as a group, as is any text marked with a punctuation pair.\n(Like a math operation, you return to where you left off before you started interpreting what's in parentheses. So, \"thinking (maybe) not\" would start with an 80-foot square room with two exits in the north, with a 50-foot square room connected to the first exit and a 30-foot room connected to the second exit of the first room. The eastern exit in the 50-foot room does not necessarily lead to the 30-foot room, or to any room that follows it.)\n10. Slashes represent diagonals or 45-degree turns.\n(The slash in the middle of a word is treated like a case change: \"X/Y\" is a 10-foot square region followed by another 10-foot square region cut in half diagonally SE to NW, so the total length of the north wall is 20 feet. \"/XY\\\" is a triangular room with a 20-foot south wall.\nUsing slashes in pairs rotates a square room so that it is oriented diagonally compared to the rest of the dungeon.)\nat 3:25 PM Labels: dnd, shorthand\nProfessorOats May 21, 2015 at 10:22 AM\nThis is really tempting me to make a dungeon from one of Vance's stories. Maybe when I get some free time\nTalysman May 21, 2015 at 12:59 PM\nYou'll probably just want to do an excerpt, not an entire story. Remember, every paragraph is one level. A short Vance story might turn out to be a 20 or 30-level dungeon.\nProfessorOats May 21, 2015 at 10:56 PM\nYeah, I was thinking just dozen levels or so (never actually designed a dungeon, believe it or not, so I have no idea how much work that'd be). There are quite a few shorter paragraphs for dialogue that might make nice sub-levels. My first thought was to use Turjan of Miir, but Mazirian's Maze sounds like a nice dungeon name :D\nGary McCammon May 2, 2016 at 9:46 AM\nA possibly cool idea would be to, say, use OD&D with \"Gods, Demigods & Heroes\" to design a Celtic-themed dungeon based on text from The Mabinogion, a Finnish dungeon from the Kalevala, or a Greek dungeon from the text of The Odyssey.",

        "raw_content": "FCC rejects complaint against CO Springs talk-radio host Lakey\nAfter reading on BigMedia.org that KVOR talk-show host Jimmy Lakey compared Michelle Obama to Chewbacca, a Colorado resident filed a complaint with Federal Communications Commission, claiming that Lakey\u2019s behavior was \u201cracially motivated and politically biased.\u201d\nIn a letter last week, the FCC responded to the complaint, stating:\nThe FCC is barred by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution from trying to prevent the broadcast of any point of view, no matter how unpopular or distasteful that point of view may be to most people. Consumers often complain that certain broadcasts are \u201cun-American,\u201d too violent, or ridicule or demean certain groups because of their race, gender, religion or nationality. Such views that do not rise to the level of a \u201cclear and present danger of substantive evil\u201d are protected by the First Amendment. Expressions that are obscene, however, are not protected. Similarly, expressions that are indecent or profane may be restricted to prevent their broadcast to children. FCC rules prohibit indecent or profane broadcasts between the hours of 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. The Communications Act prevents the FCC from censoring broadcast material, in most cases, and from taking any action that would interfere with freedom of speech.\nObscenity is defined as any material that depicts or describes, in patently offensive way, sexual conduct specifically defined by applicable law; and lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.\nWell, it\u2019s clear that Lakey\u2019s comments about Michelle Obama lack serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.\nBut I know that\u2019s irrelevant and besides the point, which is that the FCC was right to deny this complaint. I wouldn\u2019t want Lakey or anyone shut up for comparing a political figure to Chewbacca or a character in Planet of the Apes. Or for advocating the death of all Iranians.\nBut I don\u2019t think I\u2019m wasting my time, and the person who filed the FCC complaint against Lakey wasn\u2019t wasting his time either, trying to make more people aware of these comments. This includes Lakey\u2019s bosses at Cumulus Media, Inc, the radio conglomerate that owns KVOR, 470 AM, in Colorado Springs, and broadcasts the Jimmy Lakey Show Sundays from 9 a.m. to noon.\nThey should know about what he\u2019s saying, in case they want to fire him or scold him somehow.\nAnd of course we can complain to KVOR directly or stop listening to Lakey, which could set an example that might spread to the point where he can scream and laugh to himself on the radio.\nTrouble is, it\u2019s more likely that spotlighting Lakey has the opposite effect, bringing him more listeners. But ignoring hate speech doesn\u2019t feel like the right thing to do.\nChain restaurants are heavy backers of campaign opposing sick days, say sick-day supporters in under-covered news conference\nIf you didn\u2019t hear about yesterday\u2019s news conference by backers of Denver\u2019s Initiative 300, which would mandate sick days for Denver workers, you weren\u2019t alone, because it mostly flew under the radar of the local media.\nAs Fox 31 reported:\nOn Tuesday, supporters argued that [the opposition to paid sick days] is not a mom-and-pop opposition campaign, noting that more than $250,000 of the $645,270 raised is money coming from out of state.\n\u201cMany of the local restaurants that have contributed to the campaign against the paid sick days initiative are part of large, profitable national chains, including Pizza Hut, KFC, Taco Bell, Buffalo Wild Wings and Morton\u2019s of Chicago,\u201d states a press release from the Campaign for a Healthy Denver.\nAccording to the Fox 31story, opponents called the funding information another \u201cstunt:\u201d\n\u2026.\u201dThis is one more stunt from a group that has received 99.7 percent of their funding from a special interest group in Milwaukee to bring an initiative Denver small businesses uniformly say our economy can\u2019t afford,\u201d said George Merritt, the opposition\u2019s spokesman. \u201cWalk the local shops in LoDo, on Tennyson, South Pearl and East Colfax and they plead with you to vote \u201cNo\u201d on initiative 300.\u201d\nSupporters of paid sick days say most of their resources come from local in-kind staff and volunteers, and the local chapter of 9to5, which is backing the initiative, raises money locally, but it\u2019s funneled through the headquarters office in Milwaukee.\nCoverage also appeared in the Denver Business Journal and The Denver Post.\nWould Gessler tell Vincent Carroll whether he thinks there\u2019s election fraud in Denver?\nPart of the reason Denver Post columnist Vincent Carroll is effective at getting under the skin of liberals is that he\u2019s so good at mixing his opinion with interviews and other types of original reporting.\nIn my lowly way as a progressive blogger, I try to write like Carroll, with his edge and clear reporting, though he\u2019s better at it (though his opinion is usually wrong, even if his facts are right).\nSo I read his column.\nOn Saturday morning, Carroll is very effectively ripping apart the county clerks, and at the end, he\u2019s quoting from his personal interview with Secretary of State Scott Gessler.\nFor weeks, I\u2019d been trying to ask Gessler\u2013or anyone in his press office\u2013a simple question about whether he thinks there\u2019s fraud in Denver elections, and his office will not comment.\nBut he\u2019s yapping it up with Carroll.\nSo I emailed Carroll:\nI\u2019m wondering, do you think Gessler or his media people should talk to me, even if I\u2019m progressive, as they do you.\n\u2026what seems to bother Gessler\u2019s spokesman the most about me is the fact that I crosspost on ColoradoPols, obviously a left-leaning blog.\nI mean, it would be one thing if I were a progressive hatchet man, but I really don\u2019t think I\u2019m harder on the conservatives I interview than you are on the liberals who talk to you.\nCarroll replied:\nYou are right that you are not a left-leaning hatchet man, but that doesn\u2019t mean Gessler is under any obligation to talk to you. Some people won\u2019t take my calls, too. Such is life in journalism.\nBut you\u2019d think a public official would at least listen to the question, and if it\u2019s a basic one, like whether there\u2019s election fraud in Denver, and if the answer would serve the public interest, he\u2019d respond, whether the questioner were progressive or conservative.\nPosted in Colorado Secretary of State, Denver Post, Talk Radio | No Comments \u00bb\nTalk Radio host says all Iranians should be killed\nIn a segment KENN\u2019s radio\u2019s \u201cPainful Truth\u201d show Oct. 12, host Jeremy Osborn squawked \u201cblame the Jews,\u201d and then he said, \u201cVery few times on the face of this planet has there ever been a group of people who have cried out for their self destruction.\u201d\nWho would these people be?\n\u201cThe Iranians,\u201d he said.\n\u201cWhat have they contributed to the planet in the last\u2026.\u201d\nThen he said that Iranian women and children are also crying out for their own destruction because Iranian women \u201cbreed the new ones and the children will grow up to become them.\u201d\nThen Osborn said: \u201cWhen you irradiate cancer, do you leave the young cancer cells alone? You irradiate them all.\u201d\nI emailed Osborn, whose show airs in the four corners area, to find out if he had an explanation for his comments, and I did not get a response.\nBut he did address my question on his radio show Oct. 20. He said:\nDo I have an explanation for these comments as delivered and do I stand by them? I hope that I have explained myself to you. Do I stand by them? Why not? Since I don\u2019t remember exactly what I said. But like I said, you\u2019re going to take the comments, I\u2019m sure\u2026 I am going to go check out the blog now. Bigmedia.org, I\u2019m going to check it out. Talk show host wants to irradiate women and children in Iran. I am sure that is what the headline is going to be. But whatever. If you hear the show on a daily basis, you\u2019ll understand what the comments are coming from. It\u2019s like the Bible, you cannot just crack open the Bible, read a verse and think you know the whole book. Right?\nHe said I would take his comments out of context.\nI really wanted to prove him wrong, but between the squawking, rambling, and leaps of logic, I couldn\u2019t find much context.\nYou often seem like you\u2019re entering another world when you listen to a talk radio show, and this show is a good example of talk-radio un-reality. But I\u2019ve included his entire response below, in case you can make better sense of it than I can.\nYou can also listen to the audio clip of Osborn calling for the death of Iranians here: Osborn on the \u201cPainful Truth\u201d Says Kill all Iranians\nPartial transcript of KENN\u2019s the \u201cPainful Truth\u201d with host Jeremy Osborn, Oct. 20, 2011\nOSBORN: I\u2019ve got an e-mail here that I got to share with you.\nLOGUE: Oh really?\nOSBORN: Hello Sean Jeremy Osborn. I blog in Denver. [Gives the blog website.] I heard a segment of your radio show and you started by squawking, \u201c[squawk noise] Blame the Jews\u201d and then you said Iranians have cried out for the self-destruction. Then you said the Iranian women and children should be included among those Iranians because Iranian women bread new ones and the children grow up to become them.\nLOGUE: Right. Then you said when you irradiate cancer do you leave the young cancer cells alone? You irradiate them all.\nOSBORN: I remember that part.\nLOGUE: Yea.\nOSBORN: Do you have an explanation for these comments as delivered? Do stand by them? Thanks in advance for your response. Jason Salzman.Well Jason, I hope you\u2019re listening because I am not going to respond to your e-mail in e-mail because A) I don\u2019t know who you are. I\u2019ve already sensed you\u2019ve taken my comments out of context. I don\u2019t know what your agenda is but let me address squawking blame the Jews. When we do the \u201c[squawk noise] Blame the Jews, blame Bush, [squawk noise] millionaires and billionaires, tax the rich. We do that because that is the broken record, same parroted response you always get from anybody on the left.\nOSBORN: The Wall Street protesters are out there blaming the Jews. The signs are out there. So, hence the term [squawk noise] blame the Jews. Presidential Obama has been an office now for nearly three years. [squawk noise] Blame Bush. Everything is still Bush\u2019s fault. In fact, I have audio coming up here from Joe Biden.\nOSBORN: Where he continues to blame Bush. So that is where [squawk noise] blame Bush, that is what the parrot is. The parrot is just, that\u2019s the left. You guys are a broken record out there. Same old thing. [squawk noise] Failed economic policies of Bush [squawk noise]. Millionaires and billionaires [squawk noise]. Corporate jet owners\u2026That is where that comes from. So that is where the blame the Jews thing comes in. I don\u2019t remember specifically what I was talking about. I am sure I did say that. But not in an effort to blame the Jews for anything but as in parroting what the people on the left are saying. It\u2019s always the Jews fault. You are always blaming the Jews. I then said, \u201cIranians have cried out for their self-destruction.\u201d Hmmm, did I say that? Did I say that?\nLOGUE: What, I\u2019m sorry.\nOSBORN: That Iranians have cried out for their self-destruction?\nLOGUE: Once.\nOSBORN: Did I say that?\nOSBORN: OK. Plausible. I\u2019m sure I did. Not remembering exactly what the story\u2026ohh, I remember what the story was. Oh yea, when we uncovered that plot to execute some crimes on our soil. I\u2019m certain I didn\u2019t go out on\u2026 I didn\u2019t spin the wheel of destruction here in the studio. Give me a wheel of Fortune, but spin the wheel of destruction here. We will spin the wheel here this warning. Let me show you how to show doesn\u2019t work. Just look at this fabulous showroom full of prizes and the big prize wheel were we spin the wheel of destruction. Here is the lovely Vanna White. Ok Vanna, spin the wheel. [Wheel spinning sounds] Micronesia! No, that is not how it works. I have a problem with how the Iranians conduct themselves on the world stage. I have a problem with a Grand Po Ba Pork Chop over there\u2026Commine or Khamenei or whatever his name is, makes his comments. I have a problem when Ahmadinejad makes his comments.\nLOGUE: Its official. Gadhafi\u2019s dead.\nOSBORN: It is official? Where you confirming it at?\nLOGUE: A national transitional council\u2026\nOSBORN: What web site are you getting the information from?\nLOGUE: This is on MSN.\nOSBORN: Ok, all right, that is all I needed to know\u2026 [indiscernible]\u2026 new ones and the children grow up to become them. I am sure that I probably said that too. Because you always hear that on the left. You always hear the, \u201coh, what about the innocent women and children.\u201d There are no innocents.\nLOGUE: Wait, in the\u2026\nOSBORN: There are no innocents. I\u2019m sick and tired of hearing that term. You have a government that is an open supporter of shady stuff all around the planet.\nLOGUE: Yea?\nOSBORN: Sure why not. Where do tomorrow terrorists come from?\nLOGUE: Middle East?\nOSBORN: No, they come from people. People that breed have kids that grow up to be terrorists.\nLOGUE: Well, yea.\nOSBORN: Sorry, it is a painful truth. Where is the majority of the terrorism coming from on this planet right now? Is it coming from Guatemala?\nLOGUE: Not so much.\nOSBORN: Is it coming from Belgium?\nLOGUE: No.\nOSBORN: Is it coming from New Guinea?\nOSBORN: Ok, thank you. \u201cThen you said when you irradiate cancer do you leave the young cancer cells alone?\u201d Yes, that is exactly what I said. And I believe I peppered that with the comment here is reason 8,497 why I will never be president. I make that comment a lot. And by the way, when you do treat cancer and you\u2019re going through radiation therapy, the radiation doesn\u2019t leave a little cancer cells alone. Does it? Do I have an explanation for these comments as delivered and do I stand by them? I hope that I have explained myself to you. Do I stand by them? Why not? Since I don\u2019t remember exactly what I said. But like I said, you\u2019re going to take the comments, I\u2019m sure\u2026 I am going to go check out the blog now. Bigmedia.org, I\u2019m going to check it out. Talk show host wants to irradiate women and children in Iran. I am sure that is what the headline is going to be. But whatever. If you hear the show on a daily basis, you\u2019ll understand what the comments are coming from. It\u2019s like the Bible, you cannot just crack open the Bible, read a verse and think you know the whole book. Right?\nLOGUE: Not even close.\nOSBORN: Right?\nLOGUE. Nice try.\nOSBORN: I do not come on the show everyday and say, \u201cWhy haven\u2019t we dropped the bomb in K-Ran?\u201d That is not what the show was about.\nOSBORN: And you pull anything out of context, you can pull the president\u2019s words out of context and make them sound good. Oh, kind of like the media, how they do anyway. So yea, those are my words and my explanation.\nLOGUE: That is my story and I am sticking to it.\nOSBORN: I\u2019m sure made the comments about the women and children as a part of a\u2026I\u2019m sure I asked myself a question, \u201cOh, you can\u2019t drop the bomb. What about the innocent women and children?\u201d So again, don\u2019t pull the comments out of context. If you\u2019re going to comment on my comments, make sure you understand the whole picture. I hope I\u2019ve done a better job painting it for you and Jason I thank you for your e-mail.\nLOGUE: You are a charitable artist.\nOSBORN: I am?\nLOGUE: I\u2019m kidding. I\u2019m just giving you crap.\nOSBORN: [Squawk noise] Blame the white guy.\nLOGUE: Yea, it\u2019s because you\u2019re white.\nOSBORN: No, I\u2019m African-American. Stop disparaging me. You know that to be true.\nLOGUE: Yes.\nOSBORN: That is the Painful Truth and you will have to deal with it. I\u2019m Sean Jeremy Osborn.\nReporter suggests that Post Office coverage should include point that Congress doesn\u2019t fund U.S. Postal Service\nI was glad to receive an email this morning from Matt Hildner, The San Luis Valley Correspondent for the the Pueblo Chieftain. He commented on my recent post arguing that reporters should question Rep. Scott Tipton about how his request that the U.S. Postal Service take a thoughtful approach to cutting rural post offices squares with his heavy-handed demand that the federal discretionary budget be cut by 10 percent, across the board.\nHere\u2019s our exchange.\nMy name is Matt Hildner. I cover the San Luis Valley for the Chieftain and I wanted to contact you about your post on the post offices.\nWhile I don\u2019t disagree that politicians should always be questioned on why certain budget decisions are justified when they normally pound on the need for cuts, I think the post office issue doesn\u2019t apply, since the postal service hasn\u2019t been funded by congress since 1982. I\u2019ve linked to the semi-annual report of the agency\u2019s inspector general below if you want to verify that.\nObviously, it\u2019s on me as a reporter for not including that information in the story and it\u2019s a worse story because of it.\nIf you feel like sharing this, feel free to quote from any section of this e-mail or attribute to me by name.\nInspector General report (see the introduction, page 3, seventh page overall including table of contents, etc.)\nHi Matt \u2013Thanks very much for getting in touch.\nI agree that this is different than your typical story about a politician who, say, voted to eliminate federal funding for military bases but then fights to keep all the bases open in his district.\nThat\u2019s why I asked Fred Brown about it. It was an inconsistency in Tipton\u2019s approach, not a flip flop, that was the problem, so it wasn\u2019t necessarily an obvious point for a journalist to bring up.\nPreviously, Tipton advocated a 10 percent across-the-board cut for the federal budget, which is a heavy-handed approach to budget cutting. He didn\u2019t suggest targeted cuts that would be less disruptive or possibly even more efficient.\nThen, when it comes to the Post Office, he\u2019s suggesting a highly detailed analysis, with special concern for rural economies, transportation issues, safety, etc.\nWhy is he being so much more careful about budget cutting in this case, whereas before he was acting like the clich\u00e9d elephant in a china shop?\nMaybe Tipton\u2019s \u201ccut-the-federal-budget-across-the-board-by-10-percent\u201d line made a good campaign slogan, but actual budget cutting hurts people and should be done with more care, like he\u2019s advocating now with respect to the Post Office?\nSo the fact that the Post Office isn\u2019t funded by Congress doesn\u2019t matter.\nHildner\u2019s response to my response:\nJason, Thanks for the reply. I understand where you\u2019re coming from. If someone repeatedly uses a meat cleaver but then questions why someone else isn\u2019t using a scalpel, it merits a question from reporters. At the same time, I believe reporting needs to make clear that Congress doesn\u2019t hold the purse strings here, which, again, is something I failed to do in the story linked in your post. I think both the question and the funding fact have a place in the story.\nAt any rate, I appreciate the exchange and am always glad to read your posts.\nThanks.I wish I\u2019d called you prior to posting. I will do so next time.\nI\u2019d like to post our exchange if you are willing?\nColorado probably only state where a registered voter isn\u2019t guaranteed mail ballot after missing one election\nIt seems crazy to me that in Colorado, you won\u2019t necessarily get a ballot in the mail if you missed voting in just one election, and I haven\u2019t seen much info reported locally on how other states deal with this issue.\nSo I got in touch with the Brennan Center for Justice, which got a bunch of national attention for its recent report about the menu of new rules around the country that tighten \u201crestrictions on voting,\u201d and it looks like Colorado is unique in its treatment of \u201cinactive\u201d voters.\nJonathan Brater, a Law Clerk with the Brennan Center\u2019s Democracy Program, wrote me that Colorado is one of just a handful of states that don\u2019t mail ballots to all \u201cinactive\u201d voters, and Colorado rushes voters into the \u201cinactive\u201d category faster than any other state.\nSo, Brater points out that \u201cin any other state, there would be no possibility that a duly registered voter would not receive a mail ballot simply because she missed one election.\u201d\nOur current research is not yet complete, but so far reveals Colorado is unique in a number of very relevant ways: Colorado is the only state we have identified where a person becomes inactive if they miss just one election. Also, our research has not identified any other state that makes a statutory distinction among different classes of inactive voters. Additionally, Colorado is one of only a handful of states that do not mail ballots to voters designated as inactive. The third point is critical when combined with the first point because it means that, under Secretary Gessler\u2019s proposed interpretation, registered voters are prevented from voting after missing a single election unless they submit to an onerous administrative process to \u201creactivate\u201d their status.\nThus, there is not a relevant point of comparison in any other state; in any other state, there would be no possibility that a duly registered voter would not receive a mail ballot simply because she missed one election.\nThis makes you think that Colorado\u2019s apparent uniqueness looks pretty bad and may make moot Gessler\u2019s argument that it\u2019s not fair for one county to send ballots to inactive voters, while another county does send them.\nAs Brater wrote me, uniformity is an \u201cimportant and a helpful goal,\u201d but:\n\u201cA bad or illegal policy, however, is not desirable in one instance, much less uniformly.\u201d\nFurthermore, under Colorado\u2019s election law, no scenario would provide for perfect uniformity. The law states that counties may conduct mail ballot elections, which means that in certain elections, some counties will send mail ballots and others will not. Under the circumstances, the best policy is to make sure as many registered and eligible voters are allowed to participate as possible.\nFormer Coloradoan Editor also ignored by Gessler press office\nI\u2019ve been writing about the difficulty I\u2019ve had getting anyone in Secretary of State Scott Gessler\u2019s press office to return my call.\nAnd then, finally, when I got Gessler spokesperson Rich Coolidge on the phone, he wouldn\u2019t say much.\nIt turns out, Bob Moore, former Executive Editor of the Ft. Collins Coloradoan, got similar avoidance treatment from Coolidge.\nIn response to my crosspost on ColoradoPols about my exchange with Coolidge, Moore emailed me:\nCoolidge stopped responding to me on Larimer GOP questions several weeks before I left. It was very strange. I used to be able to get him to respond virtually any time of the day. But after the dunking booth stuff, nothing. I would have made a bigger deal out of it if I wasn\u2019t on my way out of town.\nMoore, who is now the Editor of the El Paso Times in Texas, emailed me that he would have posted his comment on ColoradoPols himself, but he was having problems accessing his account. So he sent it to me and gave me permission to post it.\nPosted in Colorado Secretary of State, Ft. Collins Coloradoan | No Comments \u00bb\nReporters should ask Tipton how his idea of cutting the fed budget by 10 percent squares with his plea to save rural post offices\nThe U.S. Postal Service, as you may know, is trying to save money by closing post offices in rural areas, like the district of Rep. Scott Tipton.\nThis prompted Tipton and fellow Congressman Cory Gardner to deliver a letter, electionically I presume, to the Postal Regulatory Commission, protesting the closure of so many Colorado post offices.\nWe are aware of the grim fiscal position of the Post Office, and the need to make changes in order to survive in today\u2019s competitive environment and adjust to the new means of communication in the 21st Century. However..Our constituents are concerned that retail discontinuance of some of these post offices could negatively impact their own businesses, especially during these tough economic times. Additionally, we are concerned that closing certain facilities will lead to costly and time-consuming commutes. Traveling to distant postal facilities in the 3rd and 4th Congressional Districts during winter months could be extremely difficult, expensive and dangerous. Some post offices that appear to be in geographic proximity are in reality not readily accessible. Finally, some of these post offices that seem to service a proportionately small population are essential to the existence of small isolated communities. The potential effect of these closures should involve significant consideration of the individual or unique characteristics of the respective communities served\u2026. We would prefer to see a bottom-up approach that utilizes actual cost savings rather than a top-down approach focused on an arbitrary revenue figure.\nSo, what Tipton and Gardner are saying here is, don\u2019t just close post offices willy nilly. Be smart about it. Think about economic costs and benefits, and use a selective approach to closing post offices.\nExcept\u2026isn\u2019t Tipton the guy who\u2019s called for a 10 percent across-the-board cut in federal budget discrtionary spending?\nHe is, but you wouldn\u2019t know it from reading press coverage of his efforts to save post offices. None of the coverage I\u2019ve seen (e.g., Montrose Press, Pueblo Chieftain, The Craig Daily Press, The Denver Post\u2019s Spot blog) explains how Tipton squares his chain-saw approach to cutting the federal budget (10 percent cuts for all) with his touchy-feely, wonky recommendation for post-office cuts.\nBut should a reporter raise this point with Tipton? Or would this be a snarky attack?\nIt\u2019s clear that journalists should report a \u201cflip-flop\u201d by a politician. So if Tipton had said that the U.S. Postal Service should be closed, and then he said, keep it open, that would an obvious matter for a journalist to raise.\nBut Tipton\u2019s inconsistency on this isn\u2019t really an in-your-face flip-flop. It\u2019s more of a sleight-of-hand.\nSo were journalists right not to question Tipton about why he thinks the post office deserves careful budget cuts while the federal budget does not?\nVia email, I asked Fred Brown, a veteran Denver joiurnalist and columnist who\u2019s nationally known for his ethics work with the Society of Professional Journalists, \u201cWould it be unfair for a reporter to ask Tipton about this? Or would this be seen more as an attack by someone out to get Tipton?\u201d\nI think that\u2019s a legitimate question to ask, at least in the initial report. Is it worth a follow-up story? There, I\u2019m not so sure. It is more likely then to come across as an attempt at \u201cgotcha\u201d journalism. But if the question is asked, and answered, as part of the story about Tipton\u2019s (and Gardner\u2019s) request to keep post offices open, it\u2019s certainly pertinent \u2014 and it shows a nice bit of research and recall on the reporter\u2019s part. Tipton may say it\u2019s a silly question, or that this isn\u2019t part of the 10 percent he was talking about, or that he\u2019d be perfectly happy if each little post office cut its budget by 10 percent. But if the question and answer are reported in full, then I\u2019d say leave it to the reader (or viewer or listener) to decide whether it\u2019s a fair question. I think it is.\nThat\u2019s what I thought, too. I don\u2019t think it merits a stand-alone story either, unless this turns into a trend, with Tipton asking for lengthy cost-benefit analyses of cuts proposed for stuff in his district, while throwing everyone else under the across-the-board-cut bus.\nBut reporters won\u2019t have to wait for a possible stand-alone story. They will probably have a chance to query Tipton during the normal course of reporting the post office woes.\nIn Silver Plume Nov. 16 and elsewhere on other dates in November and December, public meetings will be held on proposed branch closures in Colorado.\nWhy does Gessler think \u201cfraud exists\u201d in Denver elections? His office is \u201cnot going to comment\u201d\nFor weeks, I\u2019ve been asking Secretary of State Scott Gessler\u2019s media people if Gessler was serious when he said, in a radio interview, that \u201cfraud exists\u201d in Denver elections, and when, on another occasion, Gessler implied that there\u2019s election fraud in Denver.\nI\u2019ve left lots of messages and gotten no response.\nThis surprised me, truly, because you\u2019d think the Secretary of State would want to make it clear either way.\nIf he thinks there is really fraud, that\u2019s obviously a huge problem that every active, inactive, and dead voter should hear about.\nIf there\u2019s no fraud, then we should hear this, to put us at ease since Gessler previously said there was fraud.\nSo I was overjoyed Tuesday when I got Gessler\u2019s media spokesperson Rich Coolidge, instead of an answering machine, when I called his direct line in Gessler\u2019s press office. But disappointment followed.\nJason: Hi Rich. It\u2019s Jason Salzman, a blogger in Denver. I\u2019m very sorry to keep bothering you. I don\u2019t know if you got my messages about whether there\u2019s fraud in Denver elections?\nGessler\u2019s spokesperson: I got the one last week, and we\u2019re not going to comment to you.\nJason: Why?\nGessler\u2019s spokesperson: We just don\u2019t reach out to ColoradoPols bloggers.\nJason: I\u2019m not a ColoradoPols blogger. I post there. You\u2019ve talked to me in the past, and I thought I represent you fairly when you tell me a fact. And if I don\u2019t, you can ask me, and I\u2019ll put whatever you want to say in my blog.\nGessler\u2019s spokesperson: I appreciate that. And you can write whatever you\u2019re going to write, and we understand that. And we\u2019re good to go. We\u2019re not going to comment.\nJason: Isn\u2019t it a basic question of whether you think there\u2019s fraud in Denver elections? I mean, don\u2019t you think that\u2019s a question that you\u2019d want to comment on?\nGessler\u2019s spokesperson: Jason, you\u2019re going to write what you want to write, and that\u2019s fine.\nJason: Last time we talked\u2026\nGessler\u2019s spokesperson: You have your bent. You\u2019re going to post on ColoradoPols. We don\u2019t have anything to say. But thank you for your call. We are not going to comment.\nJason: What if I were just a citizen, or any person, worried about fraud?\nGessler\u2019s spokesperson: You\u2019re going to post it on ColoradoPols, and you are free to do that.\nJason: Well, I won\u2019t. I have a blog; it\u2019s called BigMedia.org, and I post on Huffington Post. If you don\u2019t want it on ColoradoPols, I won\u2019t put it on ColoradoPols.\nGessler\u2019s spokesperson: You\u2019re going to do what you\u2019re going to do. I don\u2019t read your blogs and your pieces. You know, go ahead and write it. And that\u2019s fine. We\u2019re not going to comment. Thanks for your call. I\u2019m going to let you go now.\nJason: There\u2019s nothing I can do? Nothing at all?\nGessler\u2019s spokesperson: No.\nJason: There\u2019s no way we can negotiate this?\nGessler\u2019s spokesperson: No thank you.\nJason: Well okay, thank you very much.\nGessler\u2019s spokesperson: Thank you.\nJason: Have a good day.\nGessler\u2019s spokesperson: You too.\nGessler\u2019s spokesperson: Bye.\nGessler\u2019s spokesman is correct that I write from a progressive perspective.\nBut I hope that anyone who follows my work knows that I try hard to be fair and accurate, especially when I interview someone. I do my best not to misquote anyone or present their views out of context. I will always update my blog posts with whatever my interviewees want me to add, if they don\u2019t like what I\u2019ve written.",

She is a professional writer of poetry.\nShe was educated at Central Connecticut State University in New Britain, CT and studied Italian language and culture in Italy. In the following years, she worked as an assistant on Wall Street, helped create the Billboard Charts for Atlantic Records and also worked in television while in New York City.\nBetween 1982 and 1993 there were two marriages to men, both ending in divorce. (Ever since she was young, she has been living with loss. Her parents divorced before she was twelve.)\nIn 1999, she became an \u2018enchanted wanderer\u2019 and went north to Alaska. Feeling like a temporary visitor, she sought adventure on both land and sea. It was often a solitary, melancholy existence for her in this vast wilderness. \"At first a novelty,\" she states, \"but then a sinking feeling\u2026 like something obscure that captures you and then disappears.\"\nShe began writing poety in 2008 and since that time has published three collections. She is a poet of the \u2018Deep Image\u2019 school. There was not much recognition at the beginning of her career because of her unusual style but she continued to \u2018shape\u2019 her poetic space and now her poems are translated into nine languages.\nShe states that she would enjoy doing \u2018readings\u2019 abroad.\n\u2013 Height: 5\u2032 7\"\n\u2013 She has Irish origins.\n\u2013 She loves the outdoors, mountain biking, swimming and sailing.\n\u2013 Another passion of hers, travel.\nWhy we love Noble Bandit?\nBecause she loves to ride bikes\nBecause she\u2019s \u2018feisty\u2019 and we love it\nBecause she is an outdoorsy kind of girl, yet she loves staying home watching movies\nBecause she\u2019s a lttle bit of everything\nBecause she knows who she is\nBecause she knows how to have fun\nBecause she\u2019s so unique\nBecause we love her new short and chic haircut\nBecause she\u2019s a romantic at heart\nBecause she eats rice every day\nBecause she follows her dreams and is now living her passion\nBecause she just brings a sparkle to everything\nBecause she loves skinny jeans\nBecause she\u2019s a quadruple threat \u2013 thinker, writer, poet, athlete\nBecause she glows in every color of the rainbow",

Prairie View\u2019s most memorable season may have come to an end, but the achievements that were accomplished this season are only a preview of what\u2019s to come in the very near future.\nThey celebrated a season of several firsts: first winning season (19-14); first share of a SWAC regular season championship; first SWAC tournament championship; and their first berth to the Women\u2019s NCAA tournament to play in the big dance.\nThe excitement for the future is sure to carry over into the off-season. \u201cI\u2019m very excited about the future, \u201d Prairie View freshman guard Candice Thomas stated.\n\u201cWe learned a lot, by coming here and now we know where we have to go, what we have to do, and where we want to go.\u201d The bar has been set to go higher and higher.\nThe matchup against third ranked North Carolina (31-3) wasn\u2019t expected to be close. However, the experience was good. The Lady Panthers lost to three eventual NCAA invitees by an average of 41 points during the regular season.\nThey suffered losses to Oklahoma State (80-39), their previous season low for points, Baylor and Notre Dame. Notre Dame will now face North Carolina in the second round and Oklahoma State lost in the first round ,70-66, to Bowling Green.\nYou can always expect the NCAA to put a ranked team against an unranked team, just to get them an easy win. The funny part about that is when you look at the teams reflecting each school, you have a team filled with predominantly black players.\nIt\u2019s the black players who supply the highest percentage of money that comes into the NCAA from sports memorabilia. So what might have been an embarassment to some, will only be a stepping stone for Prairie View.\nNot too many teams can say that they had the opportunity to accomplish the things that these women have. Playing nervously, Prairie View allowed the Lady Tar Heels to build up an 11-0 lead.\nThat lead just kept growing until it was 57-15 at intermission. In the end, the Tar Heels got more points from their bench (41) and just as many off turnovers (38) as Prairie View scored overall.\n\u201cPrairie View, no matter what the score was, played hard,\u201d said North Carolina coach Sylvia Hatchell. The Panthers returnees from last year\u2019s 7-21 team and the coach\u2019s new recruits were picked to finish second-to-last in the SWAC this season.\nHowever, they turned in a record-setting year ending with a nine-game winning streak and a 17-3 win streak into the NCAA\u2019s. \u201cNorth Carolina was bigger, stronger, and faster than we were,\u201d Panthers coach Cynthia Cooper-Dyke said.\n\u201cI\u2019m very proud of our young ladies. We\u2019re very young with eight freshman and three sophomores. We have a bright future.\u201d",

Her career has outlived most of us and will last for as long as she chooses to perform and make public appearances. She\u2019ll continue to be the brunt of jokes as people will never be able to get over her plastic surgery. Also, people will never be able to get over her sharp tongue. Her performances take hilarious jabs at both celebrities, the audience as well as herself. I saw her perform at the Laurie Beechman Theatre in New York on February 1, 2012 and she\u2019s amazing in every way. She brushed off getting caught on camera smoking pot (and in a much funnier way told everyone to get over it!) and she talked about the numerous charities she donates her time and money to. After the show was over, Joan was more than happy to sign autographs and talk to fans as she always does. Considering how many times in her career she\u2019s gone through this situation (and from personal experience, I\u2019ve met Joan Rivers at least 10 times in my life), it warms my heart to see a true Hollywood legend live up to their name. Thanks Joan!

While there are many anachronisms, the standard still remains, which is in the existence of the corporate ladder that so many people try to maneuver. And, as a bitter pill to swallow, how often times merit is....\nTennessee Williams most consistently is a playwright that does not direct the audience toward any landing point. His plots start, and they end, with the continuity between the points being the travails and tempestuousness of, marvelously, the ordinary human life.

        "title": "Thinking Beyond The Boundaries With Big Data - Big Data Week Blog",
        "raw_content": "Big data is now a commonly used term within the business world and many companies are implementing solutions to make the most of the untapped data within their systems. It\u2019s no longer \u2018new,\u2019 but how businesses are choosing to use this data is changing. Beyond traditional uses of big data there are exciting ways for organisations of all size to better leverage the information gleaned to make more informed decisions and ultimately, run their business better.\nTypically, big data is seen as a huge mass of information which businesses can mine to better understand customers, make financial predictions and improve sales forecasting. These are of course obvious uses and ones which remain hugely important and fundamental to business success. However, beyond these typical uses, businesses are starting to have interesting conversations and think more strategically about how they can further use the information they gather to better enhance their business and decrease risks.\nWith research conducted by Forrester earlier in the year predicting 37 per cent of businesses are planning a big data project, here are some of the different ways these investments in big data can be made.\nLinking Weather and Retail\nIt might seem obvious to combine the two but aside from Tesco, few businesses have considered just how beneficial this could be until recently. For example, analysing when we\u2019re likely to expect hot weather to ensure ice creams are stocked up and summer clothes are a plenty. Wastage is a huge problem for many organisations as they are unsure of requirements at any given time. As a result, too much is potentially ordered which leaves shelves left full of unwanted items and a decline in profits for the business!\nAnalysing Network Performance\nFor Telco providers, operating in a highly competitive environment, gaining as much real-time insight as possible on the customer profile and behaviour represent a growing source of differentiation in order to increase retention and satisfaction. However, using data to understand customers isn\u2019t necessarily new and hopefully most businesses are recognising the value in doing so already. What is more exciting, is the ability for Telco providers to use data to better understand the customer experience received around network performance \u2013 after all, this is the lifeblood of communications service providers.\nMitigating risk is a huge use of big data for all businesses, whether it\u2019s to reduce risk of overstocking shelves or simply to decrease the chance of losing a customer. However, when it comes to fraud, the benefits of being able to spot potential risks and fraudulent situations early have huge benefits beyond costs savings. Fraud is a hot topic of conversation, it happens all the time and as loopholes continue to appear, the situation is only going to get worse. Data is the answer and, with the right technology, provides businesses with the tools they need in order to capture, search and analyse this data in real-time.\nThese are just a few examples, but with both Gartner and Forrester predicting 2013 will be the year of large scale adoption of big data technologies, it\u2019s exciting to see how these uses continue to develop. Every day we are seeing the doors opening to those businesses who think more creatively about big data, maximising every piece of insight gathered in order to make business changes that positively influence success.\nIf you have a classroom blog, how to write a great essay for college you can grab the html code of your video and embed it there.",

        "title": "Kit Haggard, MFA '18, on Writing, Getting Published, and Social Responsibility - The Emerson Blog",
        "raw_content": "Kit Haggard, MFA \u201918, has always been a writer. It started with stories scribbled onto giant yellow legal pads, progressed to include stories published in the Kenyon Review, Electric Literature, Four Chambers Press, and Mays Anthology, and gained her accolades including the Rex Warner Prize and the Nancy Lynn Schwartz Prize for Fiction. She\u2019s lived in San Diego, Oxford, and New York. Now she\u2019s in Boston, working as an Assistant Editor at Ploughshares literary journal, teaching undergraduate writing courses, and pursuing an MFA in Creative Writing at Emerson. We sat down with Kit to talk about life at Emerson, advice she has for other young writers, her inspiration, and what role she feels her writing can play in social responsibility.\nQ: When did you know you wanted to be a writer?\nA: I think I\u2019ve always known. I started writing the summer between fourth and fifth grade. I had all of these giant yellow legal pads that were my dad\u2019s, and I\u2019d tear off his first couple of pages of notes\u2013or whatever he was doing with them\u2013and I\u2019d write. I did that for a really long time, and then when I was in high school, I went on two, two-week long programs. One was at Iowa, and one was at Kenyon. I went to this high school that was very tech-oriented and very science-oriented [\u2026] so I\u2019d never really met anyone who was like me or interested in the arts like I was. So I went on these two programs, and I met people who were thinking the way I was thinking and were interested in the same things and reading what I was reading and at a higher level, more interesting stuff, more challenging stuff. And that was the beginning of taking myself seriously, thinking about it as a career, and thinking about what steps I had to take to make the things that I want happen for myself.\nQ: What do you enjoy most about the MFA program at Emerson?\nA: I love the program. One of the reasons I chose it in the beginning is that there is a big emphasis at Emerson on literature and teaching. So I felt, especially when I was applying and always now, that I was getting skills outside of writing that would be marketable. And even though my hope is that tomorrow I\u2019ll be offered a million-dollar book deal, the reality is that I\u2019ve taken publishing jobs, I\u2019ve worked in bookstores, I\u2019ve worked at Macmillan; I worked at a literary agency, I work at Ploughshares. I do all of these things because I know that I\u2019m going to have to have something that brings in money while I\u2019m writing. Being able to teach at Emerson has meant that I\u2019m developing those skills and I\u2019m able to do that.\nQ: Now that you work at a literary journal, do you think differently about how you submit your own work?\nA: Definitely. I have a really good cover letter now because I read about a hundred of them. I read so many. And it\u2019s also just nice to see what people are sending in and where the work is coming from. You know, there\u2019s a huge conversation about MFA versus NYC. There have been books published about it and articles published about it, so it interesting to see where the submission are coming from, who is teaching, who is\u2013you know\u2013a pediatrician with their day job writing poetry at night. You get a wide look at who is writing out in the world, and that\u2019s really cool. But then I\u2019m also thinking about it from a marketing perspective: These people are my peers, [so] where do I stand among them, and how do I get my work out if this is the stuff that is getting published?\nQ: Where do you normally send your work?\nA: Haha, [I aim] too high probably! I had the very good luck to be published in the Kenyon Review when I was in undergrad, which is a pretty major top ten journal. So, since then, I\u2019ve been sending my stuff to places like that. I had to scale back a little bit, but I\u2019ve been aiming a little high. I was rejected by Tin House and Prairie Schooner, and The New Yorker doesn\u2019t even respond to my submissions anymore, so those paces. I\u2019ve got stuff out right now at The Masters Review and AGNI. Those are the top places, and then you kind of work your way down from there.\nQ: What do you want to write about? What inspires you?\nA: For a long time, what I was interested in was kind of marrying what was fantastic and what was more serious. I was really, really interested in the North American edge of magical realism or fantastic literature, and you can see there are tons of people writing this right now: Ramona Ausubel, who was just published in Ploughshares, Amy Bender, and Michael Cunningham is rewriting fairy tales. And I just read this article in Vulture actually about how there are trends of different writing during different presidencies. So you can look at each decade, each presidency, and look at how trends developed at that time. One of the things [it] said about the coming Trump presidency is that we\u2019re going to see even more of this sort of swelling of dystopian novels which have been really popular over the last couple years, and so I\u2019m interested in that stuff in the fringes. That\u2019s the kind of stuff that is closest to my heart.\nI\u2019m [also] interested right now in writing stories that ask the reader to do a lot of work, to put together a lot of pieces, and intentionally leave gaps that the reader is sort of forced to fill in. And this means that for a long time, like the last year and a half, I\u2019ve been writing a lot of stories about absence. I have this theory\u2013and this is crazy\u2013I have this theory about Sonar. You know, the way Sonar works is you have a submarine, say, and you send out all of these sound waves, and then the way you can tell where the object is is because when the sound waves bounce back, you\u2019re left with an outline. I\u2019m interested in trying to create something like that, in short stories. We\u2019ll see how it goes.\nQ: Is this going to be your thesis?\nA: I don\u2019t know what my thesis is going to be. I\u2019m going through a bit of a crisis right now. I\u2019m kind of in a post-Trump era about what I should be writing. [I\u2019m] thinking about what\u2019s urgent to me and what is urgent to other people at this moment, but that\u2019s at least something I\u2019m interested in.\nA: [The sonar idea] is sort of a guiding principle for a lot of my work right now. It\u2019s weird to be a female writer, and I\u2019m struggling a lot with that right now. Especially post-election and as a queer person. Those are identities that are important to me, and those are identities that need to be talked about more, but also\u2013I mean we talk about queer novelists, like I mentioned Michael Cunningham earlier, and we think about him as being a \u201cgay novelist.\u201d Even though I identify openly as queer, and I\u2019m out to everyone, I don\u2019t want to be limited that way. And I don\u2019t want to be pigeonholed. And the same thing goes for female writers. A lot of us think of women\u2019s lit as being a separate category. So I\u2019m conscious of those things in a way that I haven\u2019t been previously.\nI\u2019m really trying to decide what my thesis is going to look like right now because I have like five stories that I\u2019ve written in the past year and a half that are definitely things I\u2019m interested in, and are, I think, good, that are going out to the world. And then I feel like I have a responsibility to write stories that feel urgent to me and other people, so I\u2019m torn.\nQ: Any advice for other young writers?\nA: If you\u2019re submitting, you just have to keep submitting. I heard this actually from my boss, Ellen, who\u2019s the managing editor of Ploughshares. Her line is that your work should always be out at six places. So you\u2019d send a piece out to six places, and as soon as it\u2019s rejected from one, you send it to another one. You start at what you think about as being your reach places, and you work your way down. I\u2019m really working on doing that right now.\nQ: So, you\u2019re doing the MFA, you\u2019re working at Ploughshares, and you\u2019re teaching. How do you have time?\nA: I wake up very early. \u2666",

        "raw_content": "Music is a social construct like language. So suppose I invented a language. Esperanto. Then let's suppose I wrote a lot of poems in Esperanto. They might be very nice poems, but they're still in Esperanto. Schoenberg is like this, as are many composers of the twentieth century. My darling Messiaen falls into this same category. They may have composed very wonderful pieces, but they're still in Esperanto.\nWe don't count. Those of us who have studied and performed a lot of modern music forget that we speak Esperanto.\nLabels: +70, Writing\nI don't agree that music is a social construct, at least, not in the sense that language is. I think you can argue that the major scales (even more so the pentatonic scales) are natural objects, in the sense that the number pi is a natural object, and that since the first reed or clay flutes, humans have been studying and discovering the ramifications of the relationships between aural wavelengths--as, to grab for another analogy, livestock breeders have spent millenia working out the ramifications of various DNA patterns. I think the relationships between a dominant chord and its related tonic--they're analogous to Newtonian physics. That pull from the V to the I, it's like Earth's gravity pulling on that famous apple. (Language by contrast is \"constructed\" because we agree that the sound \"apple\" refers to the fruit; we didn't discover that relationship.) I may of course be entirely wrong--it depends on how strange you want your mysticism....\nOk. Let\u2019s suppose you\u2019re right. I am thinking about going to hear a couple of famous Persian singers. Is there any possibility that I will understand this?\nI wouldn't expect to be able to...moved I might be, able to do analysis, nope...but that's then a matter of learning their music...what I think I was trying to say was something like, the underlying physics of soundwaves is universal--so cadences are inherent in them, as, oh, I don't know, shapes of aircraft wings are somehow inherent in the physical laws of air and wind; and humans in making music are exploring their possibilities. Does that make sense? Again--it's a mystical statement, and both unarguable-against-able and also unprovable.....\non another hand in this, different cultures obviously do decide to handle the physics different ways, right? quarter-tone scales vs. our western scales (and let's not get into rhythm! though Jerry Garcia once had a nice remark about some music or other going against \"our Western 4/4 body knowledge\"). But you take any note and go up one octave, that upper note will always be twice as many vibrations per timespan as the first, and the octave down will be half (so \"tuning\" A--middle of \"our\" treble clef--is 440; A above the staff, 880, A at the top of the bass clef, 220. (Or at least I think so!) now you can make an argument for the cultural construction of the tempered scale vs. the pre-Bach naturally-tuned scale--and I would throw in as an amused side-glance that one of Lyndon LaRouch's party's argument is that A=440 is unnatural and the tuning A should be some other pitch. proving something but I have no idea what.\nDear Bruce, I was discussing how the music is a social construct, not how the physics of music is a social construct. The physics of language isn't a social construct either.",

        "raw_content": "Oakland Schools, Students, and the Planet Win With #MeatlessMonday\nMeatless Monday is a concept that goes back to WWI, as a resource-saving measure during the war. It came back during WWII and through the post-war years to help feed a war-torn Europe. The modern movement in the U.S. began in 2003 when the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health re-launched the effort, with the message of \"one day a week, cut out meat\" as a way for individuals to do something good for themselves and for the planet.\nIt's a pretty simple idea. Raising meat takes a lot of resources (including one near and dear to the hearts of Californians, namely water), a lot more than the equivalent nutrition from plants. Eating too much meat can lead to health problems. So eat less meat, use fewer resources, be healthier\u2014a win all around. While a lot of people aren't willing to give up meat or all animal products full-time, if they all ate less meat, we would all benefit. If the world consumed 15% less meat, it would be like taking 240,000 cars off the road each year.\nThe Baltimore public schools became the first major public school system to do Meatless Mondays in 2009; the Oakland Unified School District started in 2010. Overall the reception from the students has been positive. After tasting one dish, a 4th grader told his cafeteria manager, \"I want to eat this forever!\". The staff love Meatless Monday, too, and are working on expanding the vegetarian options which are available during the rest of the week as well.\nThe OUSD Department of Nutrition Services isn't stopping there. They've also recently started a \"California Thursdays\" program, as part of a USDA Farm to School program. it's all California-produced goods, many from the Bay Area. And of course, it includes some meatless options, too.\nSo are OUSD's meatless recipes the real deal? The Humane Society of the United States thinks so. They held a national Meatless Monday recipe contest, and while OUSD's \"Yakisoba Noodles with Stir Fried Tofu and Bok Choy\" recipe didn't win, it was one of the finalists and is what the 4th grader loves so much. The recipes of all the finalists can be found here (PDF), so try one out and give #MeatlessMonday a try. It's good for you and for the planet.\nLabels: green, schools, vegetarian",

        "raw_content": "The ability to develop and nurture trusting relationships with your employees and potential business partners is the key to building success. Consider the following factors that heavily influence trust.\nIf you want to build trust, the most important thing is to be trustworthy and honest. When you tell the truth, and you\u2019re known for it, people are more likely to value, believe and be led by your voice.\nThe ability to say something and stand by it with your actions goes a long way in the business world. Standing by your commitments and having strong morals that people you work with admire can help bring you success.\nBeing a person that people can rely and depend upon makes is important to be an employer that inspires and leads effectively. Consistency in how you act is crucial too; when your employees know what you expect of them and standing by this sets a standard for your business.\nBuilding connections with people on a personal level, outside of just their job description or business title leads to developing a rapport. When you develop a rapport with someone, they are more likely to enjoy being around you and they are more likely to work hard for you, thus increasing the likelihood of a successful business.\nThings may not always go to plan. You may have given your word and for some reason, you can\u2019t keep it. It is imperative to repair whatever damage this may have caused in relation to trust. The ability to be honest, problem solve and bounce back makes a strong leader, which will serve your business well long term.",

        "raw_content": "I went to my young women's support group today. There were only two other people there besides the facilitator because it's March break and all the kids are off school so the parents are busy. I didn't get as much out of it as I'd hoped; instead of it being a structured sharing circle it was more of a free-for-all and the other people were quite vocal. So I didn't say a lot. I did talk a bit about what's going on but that was it.\nTomorrow is the spirituality and healing group. Apparently the Tuesday and Thursday groups have been merged. As I think you know, I'm uncomfortable with people taking notes about what I'm saying during sharing circle. I'm concerned that the person who had been taking notes in another group (she was in the Tuesday group, not the Thursday one) will be at tomorrow's meeting and so I'm reluctant to go. I expect I'll go anyways, but I'm more nervous about it than I was before.\nWhen you get there, do you have to stay or can you leave if she's there? I hope it goes okay but it's good to have the option if you get too uncomfortable with the situation.",

        "raw_content": "\u00ab Blackburn Rovers 5 Arsenal 5; 3 November 1962\n1 November 1960 \u2013 the truth about Antwerp vs Arsenal unearthed. \u00bb\nBenik Afobe. Where next?\nAt the time of writing Benik Afobe has 38 international caps ranging from under 16 to under 21 level. He is now 20, and seems to have been knocking on the door for forever. He\u2019s yet to play for Arsenal first team but has made 56 appearances on loan.\nSo, what\u2019s happened? And what next?\nWhat\u2019s happened of late is injuries. But on 30 October 2013 he made a comeback playing for Arsenal against the Nike Football Academy at London Colney.\nThe Nike Academy is a club for under 20 year old players who have not got a club. It is centred around Loughborough University \u2013 which has since its days as a Polytechnic has been a centre for excellence in sport, and is sponsored by the Premier League. The aim of the academy is to help the players find a club.\nOne interesting point about the academy is that its assistant coach is Ryan Garry, a man who knows everything about getting injuries. He played once for Arsenal, and I was lucky enough to be there to watch the game. I\u2019ll come back to Ryan in the next article.\nBut back to Benik Afobe who joined Arsenal aged six having been seen by Arsenal\u2019s scouting team. He joined on 1 May 2001.\nIn the season\u2019s preview of 2010/11 the Guardian newspaper singled him out saying, \u201cLast season the then 16-year-old Benik Afobe broke playmaking scamp Jack Wilshere\u2019s record as the youngest ever Arsenal reserve. Scorer of an amazing 40 goals in 33 appearances for England Under-16s, Leyton-born Afobe, an out-and-out striker, is already being furtively whispered up as the next, next big thing.\u201d\nNow I think there\u2019s a Guardian slip there, in that the record of goals to appearances was not for \u201cEngland under 16s\u201d but Arsenal\u2019s. But you get the point.\nBenik signed a professional contract with Arsenal on 23 February 2010, and there were even reports that Barcelona were after him. On 2 November 2010 the loans started and he went to Huddersfield, for whom he played 32 league games scoring eight goals.\nBut then he was injured twice in August 2011, and missed six months of football but on 22 March 2012 went to Reading and played three games in the championship.\nOn 3 August 2012 the next loan came along \u2013 Bolton all season. He played 20 league games but scored only twice and on 31 January 2013, Bolton ended the arrangement. So on 8 February 2013 Benik went to Millwall to the end of the season \u2013 but a knee injury ended this arrangement after five appearances.\nEight months later he came back for the game against the Nike Academy. In mid January 2014 he is reported expressing his thanks to Jack Wilshere and Emmanuel Frimpong for helping him keep his spirits up during his long injury lay off.\nOn 20 January 2014, he played in the under 21 team against Liverpool. The team was Macey, Jenkinson, Yennaris, Frimpong, Ajayi, Hayden, Eisfeld, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Afobe, Zelalem, Toral\nArsenal lost 2-4 but Afobe scored one of the two goals.\nWhere next? Hopefully, he will soon fulfil his promise and step up to the top table.\n2 comments to Benik Afobe. Where next?\nseremba danryz\ni do think we give him more years you what happened to van persie ramsey he is still young you never know what will happen\ni fear benik has missed his chance, as chuba akpom has jumped a head of him and with sanogo already in the first team squad and lipman also enjoying some recent success there is a lot of competition. Obviously, bendtner and park are the men understudying giroud at the moment and you feel it is just a matter of time before they leave, this will open the door, but I want a world class striker to come in so perhaps then there is just one place left for a first team striker.",

        "title": "The return of Aldon Smith, the full faith of 49ers management, and now a few very significant months - Talking Points",
        "raw_content": "The return of Aldon Smith, the full faith of 49ers management, and now a few very significant months\nWith a simple, short press release, the 49ers just announced that linebacker Aldon Smith has been activated after missing 5 games during his time in treatment and his placement on the non-football injury list.\nIt\u2019s the 49ers\u2019 bye week, so Smith will have plenty of time with the team to get ready for their next game, vs. Carolina on Nov. 10 and in fact coach Jim Harbaugh said on 95.7 FM that Smith was back in team headquarters yesterday, and looked good.\nWe\u2019ll see what NFL commissioner Roger Goodell might do about a suspension, but from what he said in London last week, I would think the 49ers have been given a signal that the 5 games Smith voluntarily missed might be the entirety of his suspension (or that any further suspension might be delayed until next season).\nThere are also several legal issues pending, from the DUI arrest to the gun charges\u2026 But the 49ers are moving past those, obviously, and they believe Smith is mostly past them, I would have to presume.\nAldon Smith is back, just in time to do what he does best\u2013rush the passer, and the 49ers do love it when he does that.\nThey\u2019ve gone a long way out on a limb to assure him that they are behind him in every way\u2013from Jed York standing next to Smith after the Indianapolis game, to Trent Baalke allowing Smith to play in that game, to Harbaugh\u2019s constant support.\nThey believe in Smith and have expended a great amount of credibility to act on that belief. Now he\u2019s back, and maybe they were right all along, and maybe this has been the best thing they could\u2019ve done for him\u2026 and for the team.\nA few weeks ago, ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter reported that the 49ers weren\u2019t counting on Smith returning to action this season. When I checked after that, I didn\u2019t hear the same thing, but there were definitely cautious overtones to the 49ers\u2019 approach to Smith\u2019s situation.\nAnd they had no timeline, at all, for Smith. That was emphasized to me. They just wanted him healthy, mentally and physically.\nThat was Oct. 18. Today is Oct. 31. Not that much time has passed, but\u2026\nThings clearly sped up\u2013or Schefter and I were just talking to the extra-cautious people and not to Harbaugh, who surely seems to be the No. 1 proponent of getting Smith back into the fold ASAP, and maybe Harbaugh has had the clearest view on this all along.\nHe wanted Smith to play against Indianapolis, two days after his Sept. 20 DUI arrest, and Smith played.\nAnd Harbaugh was the one last week who first brought up that Smith could be back soon\u2026 and Smith is back soon, just about exactly the perfect timing (if you want to look at it that way) for him to make a large impact in the second half of 2013.\nIf you drew it up from the moment he left the team, you\u2019d put him back with the team this week.\nSo, let\u2019s presume that Smith made major progress in treatment. I sure hope so. If he went in with the right attitude, then there\u2019s every reason to believe he made necessary changes in his life and mindset, and that he is determined to continue on a better path.\nLet\u2019s also presume that the 49ers aren\u2019t just bringing him back ASAP so he can rush Cam Newton in a few Sundays, Drew Brees after that and Russell Wilson on Dec. 8.\nLet\u2019s presume that York, Baalke, Harbaugh and the rest of the 49ers\u2019 brain trust is thinking beyond football here.\nI\u2019m not sure they were at all thinking that way on Sept. 22 when they played him against Indy, but high-ranking 49ers sources strongly believe they were only thinking about Smith\u2019s best interests. Not the team\u2019s. They believed he needed to be with his teammates that weekend.\nThen he went into treatment.\nAnd they told me that I would see how right they were when Smith came back healthy and in great mental shape.\nThe 49ers went 5-0 without Smith, but it\u2019s clear they could use a supreme pass rusher for the second half of the season\u2013and to chase down Seattle\u2013and Smith is a supreme pass rusher.\nLet\u2019s hope and presume he is a healthier one, too, and that the 49ers have done everything possible to ensure that.\nNFL Picks, Week 9: Fortune (and Las Vegas) favors the Raiders this week and yes, I\u2019m taking them minus the points\nCollege Picks, Week 10: Hmm, let\u2019s try Florida State, Auburn and OK State on this oddly quiet weekend",

        "raw_content": "Certainly, in my own research into cultural entrepreneurship I have explored what McRobbie describes as self-exploitation and what Hesmondhalgh and Baker present as potentially \u2018bad\u2019 work. Yet setting up a new enterprise can be attractive for many people looking for flexible work. Martinez makes an important point about the popularity of digital enterprise:\nit is assumed to lower the normal barriers to entry when starting a business, reduce overheads, provide access to a seemingly unlimited global customer base and increase the flexibility of work\nThis presents an important dilemma for working women who seek to balance commitments to their family alongside work. My research suggests that whilst there are many difficulties, women make digital media entrepreneurship work for them in a way that other options do not. So rather than an example of \u2018good\u2019 work, this is potentially the least bad option.\nFor instance, one of my interviewees, Sadie, has a fantastic network of support through her mother and sisters which enable her, as a single mum, to manage meetings and events away from home. Her entrepreneurial endeavours are key to her identity as an entrepreneurial young black women who seeks to make a difference within her community.\nAnother interviewee, Hannah, left a full time and well paid position within the corporate sector to become a web designer because it offered her the best options in terms of a life/work balance. She admits that her husband\u2019s earnings are more substantial but her professional status is growing and she has ambitions to make this her full time career. Her approach to work is extremely efficient and she takes good care to maximise her work time and separate that from family time.\nIn both cases, managing a digital enterprise from home is both difficult and a positive experience. Both participants in my research are not na\u00efve about there circumstances and are fully aware of the precarious nature of self-employment. Yet, they are proud of their achievements and present a strong sense of their identity as professional working mothers.\n\u2190 Media and Cultural Work: A Resource for Better Working Life in the Arts and Media",

        "raw_content": "Our people: which of Nobel laureates has the Ukrainian roots\nAmong Nobel Prize laureates there are no Ukrainians on nationality yet. There is no wonder - Ukraine became the independent state only in 1991. At the same time among recipients of the most prestigious world award there are people whose origin is connected with our country.\nGEORGE WALD. Parents of future Nobel laureate on medicine George Wald arrived to the USA with the first wave of emigrants from Ukraine. The relatives of the scientist remained in the Ukrainian village near Peremyshl (now it is the territory of Poland).\nWald was engaged in biochemistry, physiology and evolution of sight. The Nobel Prize to it was awarded in 1967 - for detection in receptors of a retina of an eye of vitamins of group A. It showed that these vitamins influence pigmentation of an eye.\nERIC KANDEL. The scientist who received \"Nobel Prize\" in 2000 for opening of mechanisms of neural communications was born in 1929 in Austria. To Vienna his parents, Jews-ashkenazi, arrived from the Western Ukraine: mother was born in Kolomye, the father - near Lviv.\nFrom the beginning of World War II family emigrated to the USA where Eric Kendel also carried out almost all adult life. Thanks to its researches drugs against senile dementia and Alzheimer's disease are now created.\nof ILYA of SWORDSMEN was born in 1845 in the village of Ivanovka of the Kharkiv region. He graduated from the Kharkiv university, long time worked in Odessa. As Ukraine was a part of the Russian Empire in those days, Mechnikov is usually called the Russian scientist. The French, in turn, consider him: the scientist went to France in 1888.\nAfter the death of the wife from tuberculosis of Swordsmen devoted the life to a research of mechanisms of immunity, for as received \"Nobel Prize\" in 1908.\nGEORGES SHARPAK. Georges Sharpak (Georgy Harpak) was born on Volhynia in 1924. His family moved to France where he began to be engaged in nuclear physics in Curie's laboratory. Sharpak became the Nobel laureate in 1992 in the field of physics. The scientist insisted on peaceful application of nuclear energy.\nAbout the homeland, Ukraine, Sharpak writes in memoirs and remembers in an interview, as \"the world of the childhood where I was just Grits Harpak\".\nROALD HOFFMAN. The famous American scientist, the Nobel laureate in chemistry (got an award for development of the theory of course of chemical reactions), Roald Hoffman was born in 1937 in the city of Zolochev on L'vivshchyna.\nduring World War II, in 1943, Hoffman's father managed to save the wife and the son, and itself died in the Nazi camp. Roald and his mother were hidden one and a half years in the house by Ukrainian neighbors. Roald Hoffman wrote several books about events in Ukraine during war. With the family which saved his life the scientist corresponded many years, and in 2006 came to visit.\nHoffman says that he is very happy that he was born in Ukraine.

On the solstice, the sun is at peak intensity after months of growing stronger with each passing day\u2014 each one longer than the day before, eclipsing short, tepid nights. This is a time of power, of brazen intensity and full-glory strength.\nPower is a word that many of us in \"conscious communities\" are resistant to\u2014 unless the very next part of the sentence either has to do with the third chakra or solar energy. We're often more than willing to dive into the difficult work of healing, transformation, being vessels of light, and becoming clear. But \"power\" too easily brings up images of corporate CEOs that ravage the world with their greed, monster truck rallies, football teams, and other kinds of things that we define ourselves against, not with.\nIn our yoga practices, meditation retreats, ecstatic dance sessions, and listening to the teachings of wise teachers, we shy away from power because it's often associated with the ego, selfishness, domination, and control\u2014 the kind of power I call power-over, and that too many have been the victims of, in many forms of abuse and harm.\nThe Summer Solstice reminds us that there is a time for being full volume and totally self-expressed. This is the time of year that the cosmos gives us complete permission to play full out, and to remember that the root of the word power is podre, which means, \"the ability to make something happen.\"\nIt's also the perfect time of the year to reclaim our power from the places that we've left it, or where it was taken from us during a traumatic situation, a time of intense transition, or through an on-going power leak in a long-term relationship or situation. When we reclaim our power, we are reclaiming our life force, our vital energy, our eros \u2014 which is our power to create, make, love, and celebrate.\nSummer Solstice Meditation: Reclaim Your Power\n\u2190 Now is the Time to Reclaim Your Power: a Summer Solstice MeditationDreams That Come True \u2192",

        "raw_content": "Preparing Teens to Succeed in the Workplace: A Foundation Initiated Effort\nBy John G. Bendt\nIn order to prepare for the future, a seminar was designed to enable teens to answer these two questions: What do I need to do to prepare for career success? What determines who wins the job in a competitive workplace?\nThe Flaherty Family Foundation initiated a conversation with teens about the workplace by providing sixty of their ninth grade scholarship recipients the opportunity to participate in a career preparation seminar. The foundation provides high school college prep scholarships to high potential students with economic need residing in Minnesota, Virginia, DC, Maryland, and Montana.\nSeminar Content Detail\nThroughout the seminar, a conversational style that encouraged active participation from students was employed. Power Point presentations and videos were used with the following focus.\nFundamental to achieving career success is understanding skill, effort and personal attributes comprise the basis of competition in the workplace, because employers use these criteria to make hiring decisions. Most teens have a vague understanding of this fundamental truth in the work world. They do, however, have experience with competition in sports and academics. Drawing teens into a discussion of who wins a starting position on a sports team, or a scholarship, establishes skill, effort and personal attributes as the key factors. Pointing out how these factors also apply to winning a job provides a connection to understanding workplace competition.\nWorkplace Skills: To compete for a job, it is important for teens to understand what skills employers value. Therefore, the next step was a discussion defining hard skills and soft skills. Hard skills are the specific skills required for an occupation (e.g., computer software programming). Soft skills (e.g. communication, teamwork) are required in all occupations. The U.S. Department of Labor\u2019s Occupational Outlook Handbook was highlighted as a source to identify hard and soft skill requirements for occupations.\nStudies have found that recent college graduates are lacking in critical soft skills they need to compete and succeed in the world of work (Strauss, 2016; Bloomberg Next Study, 2018). To help students avoid this pitfall, soft skills in the following categories were identified, defined, and their importance discussed.\nDiscussion led students to the conclusion that both hard and soft skills are required to perform well in a job, and the more highly one develops skills important to employers, the more successful one will become.\nCreate Skill Advantage: Next, students were introduced to the idea of bundling hard and soft skills to distinguish themselves from others. For example, a physical therapist with strong clinical hard skills can further distinguish herself or himself by using strong interpersonal skills to educate patients about their treatments. Additional examples were used to demonstrate how highly developed soft skills can play a big role in creating an advantage when competing for a job.\nPersonal Attributes: Personal attributes like being motivated, dependable, goal directed, etc., can turbo charge skill advantages. A list of attributes was discussed and their power demonstrated by asking students to share experiences where these attributes were or were not exhibited in team projects, school clubs, sports and part time jobs.\nCommunication -Teamwork - Problem Solving: Special attention was devoted to these highly valued soft skills. A Ted Talk video, How Miscommunication Happens, was used to explain key communication principles. Discussion followed. Teamwork was addressed by exploring what a leader is, what makes a leader effective, the role of team members and what makes a team good. A practice exercise was used to bring these principles to life. Teams of eight were formed with a designated leader. Each member was given a plastic tube, which when whacked on a knee, produced a particular musical note. Teams were asked to create and perform a melodic creation.\nA problem solving model was presented to teach students a problem solving process. Student groups of five were asked to solve a problem through use of the presented model plus communication and teamwork skills. Each group presented their definition of the problem and solution alternatives.\nOpportunities to Learn and Practice Soft Skills: Ideas were solicited from the students to identify opportunities to learn and practice soft skills in the classroom, extra curricular activities and part time jobs. A few examples provided were using team sports or clubs to practice leadership, teamwork and organizational skills.\nCareer Discovery Tools: Exploration of occupations is a neglected activity for many teens.

I now have begun developing better understanding of how to succeed and ways to get there.\u201d - Meria\n\u201cThank you so much for coming and speaking to us, and teaching us about work and skills, and what we can do right now to be successful in life, and how to prepare for the future. You taught me so much, and I found all of it so helpful. I will take it with me for the rest of my life\u201d. - Josh\n\u201cThank you for taking some time out of your day to come and give us a presentation, and talk to us about business and what it takes to be successful out in the world. I appreciate what you have taught me. I have learned many useful things, like the importance of soft skills and hard skills together, and what it takes to meet those requirements. Thank you for teaching me what it takes to choose a good career.\u201d - Lopez\nUnfortunately many teens don\u2019t have the benefit of this type of instruction. Often schools and parents do not connect the dots between school curriculum, selecting a career path, competition for jobs and the skills required to compete successfully. When the dots are connected to form a big-picture, teens get it, and are better equipped to prepare for their future.\nGiven the benefits teens gained from learning how to successfully compete in the workplace, it\u2019s time to weave these lessons into the high school curriculums. It is time to equip teens with strategies and tactics they can use to nurture their readiness to compete when they begin their career.\nStrauss, K. (2016, May, 17).

The concern I have about teens preparing for their future is some parents and students are too preoccupied with NOW over TOMORROW. For example, hiring an SAT or homework tutor provides temporary academic assistance. Students definitely need more in- and out-of-school opportunities to apply soft skills. Since STEM is my area of interest, I find it puzzlimg that the push to develop hard skills in STEM lacks a focus on cultivating soft skills.

        "title": "Stripping the Altars on Holy Thursday | Visita Iglesia",
        "raw_content": "Q: Is the stripping of the altar following the Mass of the Lord\u2019s Supper on Holy Thursday limited only to those altars upon which the Mass was celebrated? Do altars in churches and chapels (e.g., chapels in rectories, convents, hospitals, etc.) where the Holy Thursday Mass was not celebrated have to be stripped and the Blessed Sacrament removed as well?\nA: The indication in the circular letter on the Easter celebrations, Paschalis Sollemnitatis, is quite brief: \u201cAfter Mass, the altar should be stripped. It is fitting that any crosses in the church be covered with a red or purple veil, unless they have already been veiled on the Saturday before the fifth Sunday of Lent. Lamps should not be lit before the images of saints\u201d (No. 57).\nThis is slightly amplified is the Roman Missal: \u201cAt an appropriate time, the altar is stripped and, if possible, the crosses are removed from the church. It is expedient that any crosses which remain in the church be veiled.\u201d\nThis brevity is probably because the norms are presuming the existence of only one altar in the church. Nothing whatsoever is said about side chapels or places where Mass was not celebrated.\nPeter J. Elliott (now a bishop), basing himself on earlier customs, elaborates on the practice in his excellent handbook \u201cCeremonies of the Liturgical Year.\u201d\nOn \u201cstripping the altars\u201d he writes: \u201c[C]ommencing with the main altar, all the altars of the church are stripped and their candlesticks and crosses are removed. Any portable crosses are removed from the church. Other crosses should be veiled [\u2026], unless they have already been veiled on the Saturday before the Fifth Sunday in Lent. This severe symbolism should extend to the whole church. Until the Gloria in the Easter Vigil, no candles or lamps burn elsewhere in the church, so lamps or votive lights must not be available at shrines or side altars. The sacristans remove all holy water from the stoups at the church doors.\u201d\nAlthough nothing is said here regarding how to proceed with small chapels and oratories, it would appear that they should follow the same basic logic. The tabernacle should preferably be emptied before Holy Thursday, unless required for bringing Communion to the sick. The altars in small chapels and oratories should be stripped, as indicated above, after Mass is finished at other locations.\nIf the Eucharist remains in the tabernacle, the sanctuary lamp remains lit.\nIn some places it is the custom to lock these oratories so as to concentrate Eucharistic adoration upon the altar of repose.\nThis is probably recommendable but does not appear to be an obligation. The rubrics of the missal for Holy Thursday indicate that \u201cIf the celebration of the Passion of the Lord on the following Friday does not take place in the same church, the Mass is concluded in the usual way and the Blessed Sacrament is placed in the tabernacle.\u201d\nAdmittedly this rubric deals with something else, but the fact that it contemplates returning the Eucharist to the habitual tabernacle in a church which would logically remain open, leads us to conclude that it is not strictly required to shut a chapel where the Eucharist happens to be reserved during these holy days.",

        "raw_content": "Victim of a blog chain\nOh well.. Why me?\nI guess the answer is a simple one as the blogosphere doesn\u2019t look big enough to resist even three of these loops. But the problem here is that I suck at being funny or have amusing things to say. Don\u2019t make me look even more ashamed than how I am. I suck.\nAnyway. Let\u2019s see if I can think of something.\n1- Uhm\u2026 I never read \u201cLord of the Rings\u201d *ducks!* No, really. I actually love the book, but never read it. It\u2019s about the way my brain works and something I\u2019m victim of that I was never been able to fully explain or justify: if I like something too much, I keep it \u201csecret\u201d to myself. Like waiting for the perfect moment that never arrives. I actually bought the book when I was ten or eleven. I was on vacation for the summer with my parents on the Alps, as every year (both summer -trekking- and winter -skiing-).\nIt was a rainy day so we went shopping instead of trekking and I discovered this huge book on a book stand. It was everything I could desire as I was already an avid reader and still looking for something as fascinating as Michael Ende\u2019s \u201cNeverending Story\u201d (my favorite book at that time and true personal myth). I couldn\u2019t buy the book but when I was back at home I convinced my parents to let me go back to the shop (that was in another town) even if it was already late and getting dark. I remember that I ran a lot and it even began to rain again. I was able to find the shop open and buy the book. While I was running back home I remember I was keeping the book below my sweater so that it wouldn\u2019t get wet. And it felt like a magic moment. I was feeling like I was holding the most precious thing ever. That evening I carefully set the book on a table and started reading\u2026 from the appendixes.\nThat\u2019s where I discovered that the book was only one part of an universe. The \u201cworld\u201d was for me more fascinating than the story and the single characters. And I decided that before reading it I had to track all the other books and then read them in order. I didn\u2019t want to miss anything and I started a research that went on for a long time. Today I still haven\u2019t read the book from the beginning to end.\nThe truth is that when I love something too much, I wait \u201cfor it\u201d forever. I don\u2019t want to read ten pages, because it means that I have ten less pages to read. Like if they are lost and without the possibility to go back. So I keep hoarding \u201cprecious stuff\u201d to me but that I cannot really use because I don\u2019t want to lose it. It\u2019s stupid, of course, completely illogic, unjustified, but it\u2019s something I cannot really control. And it still happens today with other books, games, comics. I leave the best stuff last, and it often means that I never see that best stuff. I\u2019m always waiting for the \u201cperfect\u201d moment while actually wasting it all.\nSo I never read LotR because I loved it too much and I could read it only when that loved faded, so that it became actually a \u201cmortal\u201d possibility. There are things I simply love too much to use them. If I don\u2019t use them they remain in the realm of perfection and I can venerate them properly. I venerated LotR for a long time, like an idol. But I didn\u2019t read it.\n2- I\u2019m a bit hypochondriac. Not the kind that invents problems. But the kind that gets worried and anxious about just everything. I transform little problems into big dramas, but not because I like dramas, just because I get really worried. The kind of: OMG! THE END!\nOf course that kind of reaction doesn\u2019t really help.\n3- I don\u2019t know how it translates to the USA school system, but something like college graduation. We have to go through some tests and a final exam. The most important of these tests is about a writing essay. Well, I went school drunk and after having slept two hours. I started to write and chased the flow. I never had problems writing, but that was a moment of my life that I was particularly inspired. I got the max possible in that test but the final exam didn\u2019t end exactly well as the president of the commission finished to yell at me and generate another drama scene.\nBut I was above all that. It was the best period of my life. I was\u2026 free. I was inspired. I had the right answers for EVERYTHING. I had learnt to see things from the other perspective, break the rules, find my way. Reclaim an identity, thoughts and all that. I could do just everything, I had all the power of this world. I had everything in my hands and I wish I could go back. Because today I feel lost, powerless and have no answers.\n4- I scared a teacher when I was in college because I used to play with the \u201cNecronomicon\u201d and other, more serious, magic books. Writing symbols on stones, amulets and all that. I didn\u2019t do that seriously but I really had lot of absurd books that I was able to track. For me it was something to play not more serious than reading horoscopes on a magazine, but I like digging stuff, finding old books, follow references, authors and whatnot. I also played a lot with yoga and all sort of other fancy things. But I\u2019m also a very rational person so I never believed in anything.\n5- I.. Doh! Never kissed a woman! OMG! But proud of it! I actually started to have interest in girls extremely early. I was around girls when most boys only cared about trucks and monsters. Every moment of my life is accompanied by a woman, just without her being aware, or without being really involved. I\u2019m a case limit.\nOk, now who\u2019s left? Foton, J. (who I doubt will ever know about this), Darniaq (who stopped writing there and I\u2019m going to join him very soon), Krones (who was briefly resurrected) and, just for the sake of it, Anyuzer, because I miss him.\n\u2190 Fuck Oblivion CS\nHow to design a Fallout MMO game that gets 1 MILLION of players within the first year \u2192",

        "raw_content": "Diversity of habitat is paralleled by diversity of topography on the park, ranging from hilltops to the creek valley, from flat meadows to precipitous slopes. The trail system takes advantage of the changing spatial experience of passing through and among these spaces to make the park seem much larger, adding to its worth.\nThe findings of the site analysis and the extraordinary amount of community input led to the plan to improve pedestrian access by developing trail links from the community to the key areas within the park. More people reaching the park on foot and by bike means less traffic in the adjoining neighborhoods and less impact on the park .\nA guiding principle is to preserve sensitive habitats. By connecting major habitats and key adjacent uses, visitors can appreciate the park, while limiting active recreation to one area of the site and vehicular access to the site perimeter will lessen human impact.\nWith a long history of productive uses that include farming and coal mining, the park's varied heritage is expressed in a contemporary theme of productive, sustainable development. This heritage provides opportunities for interpreting the coexistence of nature, technology, agriculture and industry.\nThe park will serve as a model of \"green design\" using recycled materials, energy conservation techniques, and low maintenance landscape treatments.\nStretched along Chartiers Creek, the park acts as a giant filter for urban storm water runoff from adjacent development. Improved water quality is the result -- a positive impact on both the health and recreational aspect of the watershed.",

Thanx 2 all!...\nUPDATED ON: 1 - 30 - 98\nModels & Actresses\nDJ Seok\nALEXIA is one of my favorite top euro-dance astists. Since the times with ICE MC, she had one of the best voices in the business...and still does. Pouring out hits, like the breakthrough hit, ME AND YOU, that came out in 1995. The song, which included the background vocals of DOUBLE YOU, became a hit in 1996. After releasing her first album as a soloist, out from the ICE MC era, three single hits accompanied the success of ME AND YOU... SUMMER IS CRAZY, NUMBER ONE, and UH LA LA LA. Plus there are others that I personally like, VIRTUAL REALITY is one. I hope she continues solo recordings of her awesome voice accompanied by danceable euro beats and extend her list of hits. Here is an excerpt quoted from Alexia out of the DWA Recordings Site...\nMy friends, my name is Alexia. I was born in La Spezia (Italy) on 19/05/67, under the sign of Taurus. Since I was a child, I have always been very fond of singing and music. For this reason my parents decided to allow me to compete in singing contests, often in my own town. In this way my story began. When I was in my teens, I started associating with a very popular musical group in La Spezia, \"I ragazzi di migliarina\", with whom I stayed for many years, getting my first experiences on stage. So, always singing, I reached 1985, the year of my eighteenth birthday and the last year of high school. As soon as I was free from my school exams, I dedicated myself to singing again. I spent many of those summer evenings in that way. Not much time passed before I was invited to join a band working in discos. This was the start of my professional career. My \"culture\" of Italian discos became deeper and deeper, but I never forgot to study music and opera singing. I also formed a group \"Brother Machine\", which has left me with wonderful memories. In that period I started frequenting some important recording studios, among which that of Roberto Zanetti, my producer. My great turning-point arrived in 1991, when I became the vocalist of \"Ice MC\". Together with the group I toured all around the world, singing great international hits. Can you remember? I'm talking about \"Think About The Way\", \"It's A Rainy Day\" and \"Take Away The Colour\". This job was very important for me and I liked it very much, because it gave me the opportunity of visiting many foreign countries. In the meantime, I never abandoned my great project: to compose my own songs. At last that day arrived, after a lot of hard work, at the end of summer 1995. My first single \"Me And You\" gave me the possibility of performing in an important tv show. After this first success, \"Summer Is Crazy\" and \"Number One\" followed. These allowed me to be a guest performer in many Italian and foreign discos.\nUh La La (3:44)",

        "title": "REVIEW: \"YOUNG DILLINGER\" (1965) STARRING NICK ADAMS; WARNER ARCHIVE DVD RELEASE - Cinema Retro",
        "raw_content": "REVIEW: \"YOUNG DILLINGER\" (1965) ...\nTwo years before \"Bonnie and Clyde\" revolutionized the American crime movie genre a far more modest production centered on a star-crossed pair of lovers who were young, in love and killed people. \"Young Dillinger\" starred Nick Adams in the titular role, playing notorious gangster John Dillinger who was among the \"Most Wanted\" criminals of the Depression era. Although the real Dillinger had a hardscrabble life and a dramatic death (ambushed by police when benignly exiting a movie theater), any resemblance to the historic figure and the character portrayed by Adams on screen is purely coincidental. The film was distributed by Allied Artists, which would go on to release some top-shelf hits in the 1970s including \"Cabaret\", \"Papillon\", \"The Man Who Would be King\" and \"The Wild Geese\". However, in 1965 Allied was strictly a Poverty Row studio that churned out low-budget movies for undiscriminating audiences in hopes of making a quick, modest profit. Shot in B&W, \"Young Dillinger\" opens with \"Johnny\" and his girlfriend Elaine (former Miss America Mary Ann Mobley) necking in a car and bemoaning the fact that they are too broke to get married. Elaine must still live at home under the rules set by her mother and father, an inconvenience that intrudes on her not-inconsiderable sex drive. She spontaneously comes up with a plan of action: they can break into her father's office and steal a load of cash that he keeps in the safe. Dillinger is all in immediately but the plan goes awry when they are spotted by a watchman. Still, they get the loot and head off on a cross-country spending spree, indulging in expensive meals, liquor, gambling and hotel rooms. It all comes to an end when the cops track them down and arrest them. Dillinger makes a deal: he will plead guilty if Elaine is not charged. Consequently, he is sent to jail for several years, an experience that leaves him even more cynical and disillusioned. Sure enough, Elaine is waiting for him when he emerges and they immediately take to crime again. Dillinger is hired by professional gangsters to carry out an audacious plan to spring 'Pretty Boy' Floyd (Robert Conrad) and 'Baby Face' Nelson (John Ashley) from a prison farm. When he succeeds in carrying out the plan, Floyd invites him to join him and 'Baby Face' in their newly-formed gang. With Elaine along for the ride, the group terrorizes the Midwest through small-time robberies that eventually lead to daring bank jobs. Before long, Dillinger is on the F.B.I's \"Most Wanted\" list.\nDirected by Terry O. Morse, who was primarily known as an editor, the movie breezes along at a brisk pace even if the style is quite unimpressive and pedestrian. In fact, the film looks like a standard TV episode of \"The Untouchables\" in terms of production values. Even a fleeting glimpse at Dillinger's biography will make it immediately apparent that story is almost entirely fictionalized. The performances are adequate, nothing more. Adams, who was a seasoned actor, tries to bring some intensity to the role but the script presents Dillinger as a superficial gangster type with no effort expended to provide some of the more interesting aspects of his background. Similarly, we know nothing about Elaine aside from the fact that this \"girl next door\" type can turn into a hardened criminal on a whim. Why? We never learn anything about her background, either. The supporting actors don't fare much better. Robert Conrad, who would soon find stardom with the hit TV series \"The Wild, Wild West\" is given little to work with as 'Pretty Boy' Floyd and is mostly seen shooting at the cops. One exception is the inimitable and delightful Victor Buono, who makes a couple of cameos as \"The Professor\", an eccentric mastermind who provides the gang with operational plans for bank jobs. Equally good is John Hoyt as a mob doctor who Dillinger hires to undergo some plastic surgery (a rare instance of the film depicting an actual event). The doctor botches the surgery but while Dillinger is lying helpless in bed in terrible pain and his face wrapped up like The Mummy, the surgeon takes advantage of the situation by trying to rape Elaine. She has to keep him at bay with a loaded gun while not alerting Dillinger to the crisis when he's helpless to assist her. It's the best scene in the film and the only one that provides a bit of suspense. It also allows Mary Ann Mobley to display her acting chops instead of being presented as Gidget as opposed to a Depression-era gun moll.\nThe film culminates with another big gun battle with the police in which most of the gang members meet dire fates. At least Dillinger manages to slip away to die another day, thus allowing for a rare instance for a movie from this era in which a villain temporarily escapes the forces of justice. (In decades past, the film industry had a mandate that all gangsters had to be brought to justice in any crime movie.) It's a refreshing aspect to a film that dispenses with most historical fact. It should also be mentioned that the screenwriters also push the envelope by presenting a story with no sympathetic protagonists. Since the cops are relegated to nameless bit characters, virtually every other person of substance depicted on screen is devoid of any human qualities. Even when Elaine tells Dillinger she wants to get out of the mob life, it's because she's discovered she's pregnant and doesn't like the prospect of being on the run while dealing with the medical issues she will be going through. This boldness in the screenwriting is a double-edged sword, however, as it deprives the viewer of caring about the main characters.\nThe Warner Archive transfer probably looks as good as one can expect given the fact that even when it was shown theatrically, the movie probably didn't impress on a visual basis. There are no bonus extras but the disc is region free.",

Most find little support in the data: the deterioration of the health care system, changes in diet and obesity, and material deprivation fail to explain the increase in mortality rates. The two factors that do appear to be important are alcohol consumption, especially as it relates to external causes of death (homicide, suicide, and accidents) and stress associated with a poor outlook for the future.

But boy did they have more up their sleeves...\nMario Maker 2 looks like it\u2019s been updated in a number of helpful ways apart from being on a console that will actually be supported long-term. The interface needed some sprucing up for the lower precision players, who will have to use their fingers instead of a stylus on the touchscreen...\nThe cause of Opportunity\u2019s demise was a planet-scale sandstorm that obscured its solar panels too completely, and for too long, for its onboard power supply to survive and keep even its most elementary components running. It last communicated on June 10, 2018, but could easily have lasted a few months more as its batteries ran down \u2014 a sad picture to be sure. Even a rover designed for the harsh Martian climate can\u2019t handle being trapped under a cake of dust at -100 degrees Celsius for long...\nAnd in many cases even those devices that can aren\u2019t employing machine learning techniques themselves, but rather sending data off to the cloud where it can be done more efficiently. Because the processes that make up \u201cAI\u201d are often resource-intensive, sucking up CPU time and battery power...\nSo it\u2019s interesting that Swedish sound pioneer Dirac has completed a new $13.2 million round of financing led by current investors. Previous investors included Swedish Angel network Club Network Investments, Erik Ejerhed and Staffan Persson...\nIt says its Geospatial Environment Online (GEO) 2.0 system will be rolled out to the 19 European countries that did not already have the GEO system in phases \u2014 \u201cstarting later this month.\u201d..\nOrdinary cuts and scrapes just need a bit of shelter and time and your amazing immune system takes care of things. But soldiers not only receive far graver wounds, but under complex conditions that are not just a barrier to healing but unpredictably so...\nDevialet\u2019s first speaker, the Phantom, attracted rave reviews a few years ago. The egg-shaped speaker promised no background noise, no saturation and no distortion in a relatively small package...\nLennar Corporation, the home-building giant, is also coming in as an investor, as are previous backers NEA, Collaborative Fund, Ground Up and Zhenfund, as well as other unnamed investors. Notably, Lennar once worked with Apple but is now collaborating with Amazon on smart homes...\nSure, most smart home gadgets work, but nothing works well together. The smart home has to be as easy as flipping a switch to control a light bulb. Amazon\u2019s purchase of the mesh Wi-Fi startup, Eero, speaks to the problem. Assembling a smart home containing more than a couple of smart gadgets is hard. There are countless spots where something can go wrong, exposing a smart home as nothing more than a house of cards...\nIt\u2019s no secret that Amazon wants to be in every room of the house \u2014 and on the front door to boot. It bought connected camera and doorbell companies Blink and Ring, and of course at its events it has introduced countless new devices from connected plugs to microwaves...\nThe low-end $50 smartwatch was one of Lenovo\u2019s cheapest smartwatches. Available only for the China market, anyone who wants one has to buy one directly from the mainland. Lucky for Erez Yalon, head of security research at Checkmarx, an application security testing company, he was given one from a friend. But it didn\u2019t take him long to find several vulnerabilities that allowed him to change user\u2019s passwords, hijack accounts and spoof phone calls...\nNow, chiptunes aren\u2019t anything new. But the more popular ones tend to imitate the sounds found in classic computers and consoles like the Amiga and SNES. It\u2019s just limiting enough to make it fun, and of course many of us have a lot of nostalgia for the music from that period. (The Final Fantasy VI opening theme still gives me chills.)..\nHere\u2019s the problem. While encryption is in a way just transforming one block of data reversibly into another, that process is actually pretty complicated. Math needs to be done, data read and written and reread and rewritten and confirmed and hashed...\nThe Raspberry Pi has always been about making coding more accessible. And a physical retail space fits the bill. The foundation has developed a lineup of insanely cheap computers with an ARM-based processor, a bunch of ports, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth...\nIt\u2019s pretty common, after all, to have a back yard isolated from the front lawn by a wood or chain link fence so dogs and kids can roam freely with only light supervision. And if you\u2019re lucky enough to have a robot mower, it can be a pain to carry it from one side to the other. Isn\u2019t the whole point of the thing that you don\u2019t have to pick it up or interact with it in any way?..\nTwo more bangers for the Switch\u2019s NES selection: Kirby and Super Mario Bros. 2\nKirby had just made his debut on the Game Boy, but the NES follow-up really improved things. Better controls, better graphics, still hard as hell...\nThey were only testing it in select locations (hotel front desks, mostly) at the time, but it looks like it\u2019s gotten a much wider rollout now...\nThe briefcase-sized craft rode shotgun on the Insight Mars Lander launch in May, detaching shortly after leaving orbit.

        "raw_content": "National Surveys on Energy & Environment Tenth Anniversary\nCLOSUP > National Surveys on Energy & Environment > NSEE@10\nSince 2008, the University of Michigan and Muhlenberg College have conducted the National Surveys on Energy and Environment (NSEE), a biannual national opinion survey on energy and climate policy.\nOver the last 10 years, the NSEE has covered topics such as public policy approaches to address climate change including federal, state, and international action; energy policies such as cap-and-trade, carbon taxes, renewable energy requirements, vehicle emissions standards, and many more; and knowledge and attitudes about global warming, climate adaptation, and geoengineering. Since 2011, the NSEE has worked closely with researchers at the University of Montreal who conduct the Canadian Surveys on Energy and Environment (CSEE), fielding a number of identical survey questions. Run concurrently in the fall, these surveys provide a unique comparative perspective on public attitudes toward climate change and energy policy.\nIn 2018, the NSEE is celebrating the 10th anniversary of the survey by releasing a series of reports highlighting the breadth of topics covered in the survey. These reports will present time-series data on how attitudes about energy policy and climate change have changed from 2008 to 2018, as well as comparisons between public opinion in the United States and in Canada.\nReports from NSEE@10\nNSEE & CSEE Methodology Information\nSee overview of NSEE methodology\nThe NSEE is a biannual telephone survey of a random sample of adult (age 18 and over) residents of the United States.

        "title": "Republicans Renounce Antisemites; Democrats Embrace Them",
        "raw_content": "Home American Principles Republicans Renounce Antisemites; Democrats Embrace Them\nFor decades, the Democrats have held themselves out as the political home of American Jews while accusing Republicans of harboring bigotry.\nBoth recent events and history expose these assertions as lies.\nYesterday, Freddy Burgos, a member of the Virginia Republican State Central Committee tweeted that \u201cHaving a preference for Christians over non-Christians as political leaders is not bigoted. It is a preference and a duty we are allowed.\u201d\nThe response from Republican leaders was swift and pointed. Republican Party of Virginia Chairman John Whitbeck immediately called Mr. Burgos and demanded that he both remove his \u201coffensive and bigoted post\u201d and resign. Congresswoman Barbara Comstock (R-VA) released a statement stating that Mr. Burgos\u2019 \u201cbigoted, backwards views have no place in the Republican Party\u201d and calling on him to resign. Numerous other Republican leaders from across Virginia issued similar statements.\nThis response in Virginia mirrors the response of Republican leaders in Illinois who are dismayed that an open antisemite Holocaust denier is poised to win a Republican congressional nomination because he is the only person seeking that nomination in the heavily-Democrat district. The Republican Party of Illinois and party leaders across the state have unambiguously renounced him, and the Republican Party of Illinois has stated that he will receive no support and that they are trying to recruit an independent candidate to support against him.\nMeanwhile, the Democrats last year selected a man with a decades-long history of antisemitism to be the Vice Chairman of the Democrat National Committee. Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) is a longtime friend and acolyte of notorious antisemite Louis Farrakhan, the head of the Nation of Islam hate organization. He has vigorously defended prominent antisemites on numerous occasions.\nIn 2006, when Ellison first ran for Congress, he wrote an open letter renouncing his past association with the Nation of Islam and made a symbolic visit to Israel. Once elected, however, he amassed one of the most anti-Israel records in Congress.\nToday it was revealed that in 2013 \u2013 seven years after purportedly renouncing Louis Farrakhan\u2019s Nation of Islam \u2013 Keith Ellison had an intimate private dinner with not only Farrakhan but also the President of Iran, the world\u2019s foremost sponsor of Islamist terrorism and the most belligerent enemy of the Jewish State of Israel. Not one prominent Democrat has yet condemned Ellison for this meeting or called on him to resign.\nUnsurprisingly, none of the establishment \u201cnews\u201d media have reported this story, and as long as they are able to keep the story suppressed, their Democrat allies won\u2019t face any pressure to renounce Rep. Ellison. They certainly won\u2019t do so as a matter of principle.\nThese are, after all, the same \u201cnews\u201d media who suppressed a photograph recently released of then-Senator Barrack Obama meeting with proud antisemite Louis Farrakhan. I have included that photo with this article to do the job the \u201cnews\u201d media chose not to do.\nThe Democrats were the party of slavery from the time of the party\u2019s founding through the Civil War. Then, for another century, the Democrats were the party of Jim Crow, fighting for segregation and other laws to keep black people \u201cin their place.\u201d\nMeanwhile, it was the Republican Party that was founded to oppose slavery, that succeeded in ending slavery, that amended the Constitution to ensure equal rights for blacks, that again amended the Constitution to guarantee the right of women to vote, that opposed Jim Crow, that voted in larger margins than the Democrats for the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act, that appointed the first woman to the Supreme Court, and that appointed to the Supreme Court the justice who wrote the opinion declaring marriage equality for gay couples to be constitutionally mandated.\nIn my thirty years as a political activist, I have attended scores of political events on both the left and right. I have seen firsthand that at liberal events antisemitic literature is handed out routinely without any objections. I have never seen any bigoted literature handed out at a conservative event.\nThe Democrats talk a good game about tolerance, but as we sit here today they still have an antisemite as their number two leader at the Democrat National Committee. The fact is that throughout history and through today, it is the Republicans who have been walking the walk.\nPrevious articleLiberal Activists Vow to Lay Down in Front of Tanks in any Military Parade\nNext articleCNN: Sessions Is Racist for Referring to English Origin of American Law\nCNN: Sessions Is Racist for Referring to English Origin of American Law",

        "raw_content": "url: http://corporate.amplifon.com/risk-management\nEvery human activity involves taking risks. As long as organizations are concerned, it is not possible to create value without taking risks.\nRisk management is therefore part and parcel of every business activity: in a constantly changing business environment characterized by extremely volatile and unstable global market conditions risk management is even more important and calls organizations to identify risks and take advantage of opportunities.\nAmplifon, in line with the most advanced management systems and best practices for the design and implementation of internal control and risk management systems, and the Corporate Governance Code issued by the Corporate Governance Committee of the Italian Stock Exchange to which it adheres, pays the utmost attention to the identification, assessment and management of risk.\nRisk management is an ongoing activity which, based on the initial identification and assessment of the events that could negatively impact the ability of the Group and its subsidiaries to reach targets (particularly strategic goals), includes the definition which steps need to be taken to respond to the risk, implementation and subsequent updates which take place at least one a year at a Group level.\nRisk management is entrusted to the Group\u2019s top management, Market Directors and local Management teams which are supported by the Group Risk and Compliance Officer who use self-assessment techniques to gather information and assess risk, as well as find ways to address and mitigate them.\nThe management and updating of the risks identified is supported and monitored through a continuous dialogue between Group and local management, as well as with the Group Risk and Compliance Officer. At least once a year, during the annual risk review, the Chief Executive Officer contributes directly to the mapping of the Group\u2019s risk with a view to identifying priorities in order to align risk with strategies.\nPolitical, economic, social, legal and regulatory environment\nThe Amplifon Group operates in the \u201cmedical\u201d sector which is regulated differently in different countries. A change in regulations (for example, in reimbursement conditions, the way in which coverage is calculated, in the ability to access national health coverage, in the role of the ENT doctors and, more in general, in the laws relating to hearing aids), does and will have a significant and immediate impact on performances, similar to the negative repercussions that affected the Netherlands in 2013, Switzerland and New Zealand in 2011, and the positive ones that affected Germany beginning year-end 2013 and New Zealand mid- 2014, as would any changes in social policies which result in the public sector having a larger or smaller role in the treatment of hearing pathologies.\nTypically the impact on the market of any regulatory changes relating to refunds is felt for a limited time of between two and six quarters, after which the market returns to the pre-change growth rates. It is more difficult to understand the possible impact of changes in the regulations governing the final sale price of hearing aids, as any changes can cause an immediate decline in unit prices and, consequently, in results, while the recovery in market growth is much slower. In the Netherlands, for example, the regulatory changes implemented early 2013 caused results to drop sharply in 2013, while volumes didn\u2019t pick-up until 2014 and the recovery in sales and profitability is still well below the levels recorded prior to the changes.\nWell aware that other unexpected and unforeseen changes could take place in addition to those mentioned above (in Switzerland, New Zealand, the Netherlands and Germany), including in light of the widespread adoption of austerity programs and the growing attention of the media and social networks on the hearing aid sector, the Group has implemented a series of measures which ensure the ability to react in a timely manner to these events with a view to reducing the impact of any unfavourable changes or maximizing the upside in the event the changes are favourable.\nMore in detail: (i) regular reporting has been introduced in order to monitor the main changes in regulations, analyze the impact and address compliance strategies, that are discussed with the Corporate management and approved by headquarters; (ii) mapping of the sector regulations in all countries of operation has been initiated, together with monitoring by a specific corporate function of regulatory changes in close cooperation with the Group\u2019s Compliance division with the support of Legal Affairs; (iii) mapping of trade bodies and associations in the Group\u2019s countries of operation has been initiated, including to ensure that Amplifon\u2019s managers are sufficiently involved in determining the strategies to be undertaken; (iv) a program to monitor news, information and discussions relating to the hearing aid sector on the main media and social networks has been put into place.\nThe market sector in which the Amplifon Group operates is less sensitive than others to fluctuations in the general economic cycle, but it is, however, influenced. More specifically, the current volatility of the global markets lessens the visibility of future results with the risk that lower or less buoyant sales will, in the short term, have a direct impact on margins due to the cost structure of the stores which is largely fixed. In the United States, where the Group\u2019s business model is based on commercial partners and other indirect channels, the economic performance and financial solidity of the latter must be monitored carefully in order to react quickly, including by repositioning stores as was done in the period 2011-2014 with some of the Miracle Ear franchise stores that were part of structures managed by partners who were experiencing difficulties.\nWith regard to demographic changes, there are a number of factors including the growing number of senior citizens (baby boomers), the increased average life expectancy and the declining age at which the hearing aid market is being accessed, which represent both a great opportunity and a risk, as the opportunity could be missed as a result of the failure to correctly forecast the penetration rate and, consequently, to calculate the growth opportunities. In the marketing plans, therefore, particular attention is paid to interpreting trends, developing both communication and technology by making significant investments in digital marketing, CRM systems, as well as the continuous assessment of the campaigns/activities.\nCompetition & the market\nThe arrival of new market competitors and players, like optical chains, able to take advantage of distribution channels comprised of existing stores, as well as hearing aid manufacturers who can benefit from higher margins as a result of their manufacturing activities, or on-line retailers, could result in greater price pressure (Amplifon, which stands out for the quality of the service provided, has high fixed costs and any pressure on retail prices would cause, at least in the short term, margins to shrink) and also represent an obstacle to external growth due to increased competition for acquisition targets.\nThe risk that new players may enter the market could also be increased by regulatory changes relating to store personnel qualified to sell hearing aids in the event qualifications should become less stringent (as has already happened in some countries) and/or professions like audiologist/hearing aid specialist become more accessible, which would make it easier to recruit these professionals.\nBoth organic growth, supported with investments in store renovation, new openings and increased productivity, and marketing, particularly digital marketing, as well as external growth, through new acquisitions, are key to countering competition and developing the market. These activities call for significant financial resources and the Group, after completely restructuring its debt in 2013 through capital market issues with long term maturities falling due beginning in 2018, pays the utmost attention to both treasury management, as well as to the continuous maintenance of existing credit lines and relationships with both banks and capital market investors, in order to be able to dedicate the greatest possible amount of cash, operating cash flow and \u201cnew finances\u201d to new important investment activities and growth.\nIn the United States where the Group is totally focused on the indirect channel, the growth is, above all, linked to the ability to attract new partners and take advantage of growth opportunities presented by the market. After the rationalization that in 2014 resulted in a new focus on the channels that ensure the greatest volumes and are the most attractive to new partners (Elite wholesale, Miracle Ear and Amplifon Hearing Health Care, formerly Hear PO), an important plan calling for substantial investments in all types of marketing was implemented.\nIn the current economic situation, characterized by extreme volatility in factors that can significantly impact business, the ability to implement strategic measures in a timely manner is vital in all the countries where the Group operates. It follows that the corporate processes must be adequately structured, applied and monitored in order to maximize operating efficiency, as well as control the performance indicators of each single point of sale. These processes are even more important with acquisitions as it is crucial to assess all the risks arising from these transactions: mistakes in assessing those risks, like slow and delayed integration of acquired businesses, could result in significantly higher costs and inefficiencies for the Group.\nOver time the Group has implemented, in all the main countries of operation, a number of projects to standardize IT processes, compliance with the administrative/accounting procedures defined in Law 262/2005 and the Business Performance Management projects in the stores, with a view to more effective monitoring and international comparison, along with the worldwide cash pooling project the purpose of which is to manage liquidity more efficiently, as well as monitor the Group\u2019s daily cash position in order to take timely action with regard to any critical areas; the Group has completed deployment in Italy and started deployment in Australia, Spain and the Netherlands of a new proprietary front office system (FOX) developed based on the experience matured by Amplifon over the years and began. This system allows for more efficient and effective management of all store activities, and also makes customer information available immediately. It will be installed gradually in all the countries where the Group has directly operated stores.\nSimilarly, the growing number of countries in which the Group operates and the number of projects to be implemented, has made it necessary to possess the knowhow needed to develop and carry out these same projects and, therefore, the IT structures have been reinforced with a particular focus on project management.\nRapid implementation of strategic decisions is ensured by an organization based on uniform geographical regions and a leadership team that works with the Chief Executive Officer, along with the Vice Presidents of the three geographical regions (EMEA, Americas and APAC), the corporate heads of the various functions (innovation and development, HR, administration and finance, purchasing).\nOne of Amplifon\u2019s strengths is its customer service. Human resources, therefore, are very important in this regard, but they also present certain issues and areas of risk. Specifically:\n\u2022 limited availability of hearing aid specialists, the difficulty of attracting new ones while also running the risk that others begin working for the competition can significantly affect the Group\u2019s organic growth, together with the risk of losing customers and increased labour costs due to salary increases;\n\u2022 deficiencies in staff\u2019s technical and sales skills can lead to ineffective sales teams in certain countries and could pose a significant risk to the ability to reach organic growth targets;\n\u2022 the risk that the sales force commits illegal acts or violates the Group\u2019s rules.\nThe Group has taken the following steps to mitigate these risks:\n\u2022 defined a Code of Conduct, which has been distributed in all countries of operation and in Italy the Internal Organizational Model was adopted pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/2001;\n\u2022 drawn up a profile of the ideal hearing aid specialist in order to assure that recruitment methods reflect the Group\u2019s commercial policies. Steps have also been taken to increase the supply of hearing aid specialists through agreements with universities and specialized institutes;\n\u2022 increased and centralized coordination of the internal training programs carried out by the countries;\n\u2022 increased the attention being paid to store procedures through both the development of a new procedure focused on providing excellent customer service and the definition of a standardized store manual in order to facilitate rapid implementation in countries where the Group\u2019s presence is more recent.\nThis includes the following types:\n\u2022 foreign exchange transaction risk, that is the risk of changes in the value of a financial asset or liability, of a forecasted transaction or a firm commitment, changes due to exchange rate fluctuations;\n\u2022 foreign exchange translation risk, that is the risk that the translation of the assets, liabilities, costs and revenues relating to net investment in a foreign operation into the reporting currency gives rise to an exchange gain or loss.\nThe Amplifon Group\u2019s foreign exchange transaction risk is largely limited as each country is largely autonomous in the operation of its business, sustaining costs in the same currency as it realizes revenue, with the exception of Israel, where purchases are made in Euros and US dollars.\nThe size, however, of the subsidiary with respect to the Group and the fact that the products purchased subject to currency risk represent only a small part of total costs, ensures that any significant currency volatility will not have a material impact on the subsidiary or the Group.\nThe foreign exchange transaction risk, therefore, derives primarily from intragroup transactions (medium-long term and short term loans, charge backs for intercompany service agreements) which result in currency risk for the companies operating in currencies other than that of the intragroup transaction. Additionally, investments in financial instruments denominated in a currency different from the investor\u2019s home currency can result in foreign exchange transaction risk. Foreign exchange translation risk arises from investments in the United States, United Kingdom, Switzerland, Hungary, Turkey, Poland, Israel, Australia, New Zealand, India, Egypt and Brazil.\nThe group\u2019s strategy aims to minimize the impact of currency volatility on the income statement and calls for significant positions in foreign currency to be hedged against foreign exchange risk. These include: (i) bonds issued in US dollars by Amplifon S.p.A. and subscribed by Amplifon USA Inc, (ii) intercompany loans in currencies other than the Euro between Amplifon S.p.A. and the Group companies in the United Kingdom and Australia.\nThe intercompany loans between the Australian and New Zealand companies, between the American and Canadian companies, as well as the loan granted Amplifon S.p.A. to the English subsidiary, are considered equity investments insofar as the loans are non-interest-bearing and not expected to be repaid. The impact of exchange differences is recognized directly in the translation reserve at equity without passing through the income statement.\nThe risks arising from other intragroup transactions (two loans granted to the Hungarian subsidiary and the Brazilian holding, as well as a loan granted to the Turkish subsidiary which was repaid in full in 2015) are not hedged as the amounts are not material.\nIn light of the above, during the year currency fluctuations did not result in significant foreign exchange gains or losses being recognized in the Amplifon Group\u2019s consolidated financial statements. In accordance with the Group Treasury Policy foreign exchange translation risk was not hedged. The impact of the foreign exchange translation risk can be seen, as a whole, in the Group\u2019s Euro denominated EBITDA which rose 4.3 percentage points with respect to the Group\u2019s total EBITDA.\nInterest rate risk includes the following situations:\n\u2022 fair value risk, namely the risk that the value of a fixed rate financial asset or liability changes due to fluctuations in market interest rates;\n\u2022 cash flow risk, namely the risk that the future cash flows of a floating rate financial asset or liability fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates.\nIn the Amplifon Group fair value risk arises on the issue of fixed rate bonds (private placement and Eurobond).The cash flow risk derives from floating rate bank loans.\nThe Group\u2019s strategy is to minimize cash flow risk, especially with respect to long-term exposures, through a balanced division between fixed- and floating-rate loans, judging whether to switch floating-rate borrowings to fixed-rate when each loan is taken out, as well as over the life of the loans including in light of the current market rates. In any event, at least 50% of the debt must be hedged against interest rate risk. At 31 December 2015, all the medium/long debt (\u20ac376 million) is linked to fixed rate capital market issues which to date have yet to be converted to floating rate debt as currently interest rates are low and the possibility that they will increase is limited. The risk, therefore, is that any conversions of debt from fixed to floating could result in financial costs that are, as a whole, higher with respect to the current fixed rate.\nCredit risk is the risk that the issuer of a financial instrument defaults on its obligations resulting in a financial loss for the holder/investor.\nIn the Amplifon Group credit risk arises from:\nsales made as part of ordinary business operations;\nthe use of financial instruments that require settlement of positions with other counterparties;\nfrom the sale of Group-owned American stores to franchisees, with the payment spread over up to 12 years, following the transformation of the subsidiary Sonus\u2019s business model from the direct to the indirect channel;\nthe loans granted to indirect channel and commercial partners in the United States and in Spain for investments and business development.\nWith regard to the risk under (i) above, the only positions with a high unit value are amounts due from Italian public-sector entities for which the risk of insolvency - while existing - is remote and further mitigated by the fact that they are factored without recourse, on a quarterly basis, by specialized factoring companies. Conversely, the credit risk arising from sales with private individuals based on instalment payment plans is increasing, as is that arising from sales to US indirect channel firms (wholesalers and franchisees). This credit risk, however, is spread out over a number of partners and the amount owed by any single partner does not exceed a few million US dollars. Due to typical business risks, some may not be able to honor their debts. This would result in higher working capital and credit losses. While each subsidiary is responsible for collection of receivables, the Group has set up a centralized system of monthly reporting relative to trade receivables in order to monitor the composition and due dates for each country, and shares credit recovery initiatives and policies with local management. With regard to private customers, who are largely paying cash, installment or financed sales have been limited to a maximum term of 12 months and, when possible, are managed by external finance companies which advance the whole amount of the sale to Amplifon. The situation of the indirect channel in the US is closely monitored by local management.\nThe risk referred to in (ii) above, notwithstanding the inevitable uncertainties linked to sudden and unforeseeable counterparty default, is managed by diversifying the main national and international investment grade financial institutions and through the use of specific counterparty limits with regard to both liquidity invested and/or deposited and to the notional amount of derivative contracts. The counterparty limits are higher if the counterparty has a Standard & Poor\u2019s and Moody\u2019s short term rating equal to at least A-1 and P-1, respectively. The Group\u2019s CEO and CFO may not carry out transactions with non-investment grade counterparties unless specifically authorized to do so.\nWith regard to the risk referred to in (iii) above, in the event payments fail to be made on the stores sold, ownership will revert back to Amplifon, while the loans made in the US referred to in (iv) above, are generally personally guaranteed by the beneficiaries and repayments are typically made when the invoices for the purchases of hearing aids are paid.\nThis arises from the possibility that the value of a financial asset or liability may change due to changes in market prices (other than those caused by currency or interest-rate fluctuations) due to both characteristics specific to the financial asset or liability or the issuer, as well as market factors. This risk is typical of financial assets not listed on an active market, which may not be easy to liquidate at a level close to their fair value.\nIn the Amplifon Group price risk arises from certain financial investments in listed instruments, mainly bonds. Given the size of these investments, this risk is not significant and, therefore, is not hedged.\nThis risk often arises when an entity is experiencing difficulty finding sufficient funds to meet its obligations and includes the risk that the counterparties that have granted loans or lines of credit may request repayment. This risk, which had become particularly significant due, initially, to the 2008 financial crisis and, more recently, to the sovereign debt crisis affecting the peripheral Euro zone countries and the single currency itself, while smaller, still exists.\nIn this situation the Group continues to pay the utmost attention to cash flow and debt management, maximizing the positive cash flow from operations, while also monitoring credit lines in order to ensure adequate availability of irrevocable long term credit lines even though after the capital market transactions completed in 2013 debt is largely long term with the first significant portion falling due only as of mid-2018.\nThese activities, along with the liquidity, current credit lines and the positive cash flow that the Group continues to generate, lead us to believe that, at least in the short term, liquidity risk is not significant.\nHedging instruments are used by the Group exclusively to mitigate, in line with company strategy, interest rate and currency risk and comprise exclusively financial derivatives. In order to maximize the effectiveness of these hedges the Group\u2019s strategy calls for:\n\u2022 large counterparties with high credit ratings and transactions that fall within the limits determined in the treasury policy in order to minimize counterparty risk;\n\u2022 the use of instruments that match, to the extent possible, the characteristics of the risk hedged;\n\u2022 monitoring of the effectiveness of the instruments used in order to check and, possibly, optimize the structure of the instruments used to achieve the purposes of the hedge.",

        "title": "Critical Miami: What's up with Pit Bulls?",
        "raw_content": "\u201cShall the ordinance repealing the county\u2019s 23 year old law prohibiting the ownership of pit bulls as a dangerous breed of dogs become effective?\u201d\nThat\u2019s on the ballot for Miami-Dade residents on August 14th. We\u2019ve got one of the oldest of the municipal bans on pit bulls in the country, and now it\u2019s up for reconsideration. Let\u2019s put aside the typically idiotic language of the ballot and consider the the matter. Despite the blowhard arguments made by some pit bull advocates (see image), it seems to be not obvious what the right thing to do here. Banning anything is an invasive government action, and it needs to be well justified before it can even be considered. Are pit bulls more dangerous than other breeds? And if so, is a ban the correct response?\nHere is a report of dog bite statistics by breed covering almost thirty years. Scrolling through the list is sobering. For \u201cattacks doing bodily harm,\u201d most dogs are in the single digits. Some are notably higher: Boxers, 48; German Shephards, 89; Labradors(!), 45. But pit bulls stand head and shoulders above them all with 1970 attacks. But wait, there\u2019s also information about the percentage of the dog population some of the breeds account for, and pit bulls, at .033, are actually very high up in that sense. Well, luckily I\u2019ve crunched the numbers for you. Here\u2019s a handy dandy Excel spreadsheet (csv) which includes only the breeds for which the species percentage is given, sorted by the score (column H) that weighs the number of attacks against the prevalence of the breed. According to this chart, Rottweiler\u2019s are far and away the most dangerous breed, followed by Wolf hybrid, followed by Pit bull terrier, Bull mastiff, Akita, Boxer, and Chow. Labradors, German Shepherds, and Great Danes round out the top 10.\nBut even within the top 10 there is a fast and significant drop-off. A pit bull is 10 times as likely to attack a human as a German Shepherd. A Rottweiler is 13 times as likely to attack as a Boxer. Taken on its face, the statistics show that the top few breeds are indeed much more dangerous than all other dogs, per individual animal. Together, pit bulls, Rotweilers, and Wolf hybrids account for 77% of attacks that induce bodily harm.\nThere are two big problems with these numbers. First, they don\u2019t take into account total populations. They compare breeds against each other, but say nothing about how dangerous, statistically, a given animal is. If you\u2019re confronted by a pit bull, what are your chances of being harmed? Or to put it another way, for an individual pit bull, what are the chances that it will bite a human in its lifetime. 1 percent? A tenth of a percent? A thousandth of a percent? It seems crazy to consider banning anything without this information. Perhaps just as important, the statistics are compiled in a way that\u2019s not quite scientific. They\u2019re based on media reports. That means they\u2019re subject to all kinds of bias: people underreporting bites by smaller or less \u201cthreatening\u201d species, people assuming that a dog was a pit bull in part because it bit someone, and other issues concerning identifying a breed. The Center for Disease Control has pointed out that these studies are unreliable.\nAnd yet those studies are the best information we have. They may be substantially flawed, but it\u2019s hard to believe that they\u2019re so flawed as to invalidate the basic trend they point to. Let\u2019s address a few of the other arguments that get made in this debate\nQ. \u201cIt\u2019s not the dog \u2014 it\u2019s the owner!\u201d Any species of dog can attack a human, and most of the so-called \u201cdangerous\u201d dogs are perfectly loving and well-behaved companion animals. Some people raise dogs either incompetently, or in a way that makes them deliberately aggressive. Don\u2019t punish the dogs and the vast majority of responsible owners.\nA. We\u2019ve tried punishing the owners. In some cases, owners have been fined as much as $7 million, and any dog that seriously bites someone is destroyed. We\u2019ve tried education. And yet attacks by pit bulls and other dangerous breeds are on the rise, despite laws banning and restricting the dogs in areas around the country. It may be the owners\u2019 fault, but that\u2019s just as much of a reason to ban the dangerous breeds.\nQ. \u201cPit bull isn\u2019t even a real breed\u201d The term can refer to a number of different breeds, and legislation usually adds the phrase \u201cand similar dogs.\u201d How can you pass a law when the situation is such a mess?\nA. All dog breeds are a human construct. Some are better defined and some less well defined. Strictly speaking, when we talk about pit bulls, we usually are talking about the American Staffordshire Terrier, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, The English Bull Terrier, and the American Pit Bull Terrier. You identify a pit bull the same way you identify a more strictly defined breed: a casual identification by sight, and verification by DNA test.\nQ. Here, let me show you some tragic stories of children maimed and killed by pit bulls Isn\u2019t any death tragic?\nA. Of course it\u2019s tragic. But we\u2019re trying to have a society here, and we\u2019re dealing with lots and lots of people. Look at how many people die in car accidents. What if it turns out you could save more lives by banning car radios (on the logic that car radios distract drivers and contribute to accidents)? What if it turns out you could save more lives by banning the use of car radios just on Sundays from 2 to 5 pm?\nThink of the doggies\nNeither side in this debate makes a good case. The pro-species-specific bans throws out deeply flawed and incomplete statistics and emotional accounts of individual cases. The pro-pit bull side argues that most dogs are harmless, and spend time refuting \u201cmyths\u201d that nobody actually believes and ignoring the evidence that some breeds are more likely to bite, and more likely to injure and kill when they do bite.\nIn the end though, the conclusion is simple. 207 people were killed by pit bulls in the study we cited (the study from DogsBite.org, a pro-ban website). That\u2019s 11 people per year, in a country of 300 million. Your chances of dying in a dog bite in a given year are somewhere in the range of 1 in 27,000,000. But actually there\u2019s more to it than that: 75% of dog attacks occur on the owner\u2019s property. Only 1% involve pit bulls being walked on a leash in public. Don\u2019t like pit bulls? Don\u2019t go to people\u2019s houses that own them, and call the police when you see someone walking one without a leash.\nThe Miami referendum\nThe referendum to lift the Miami-Dade pit bull ban is worded terribly. It\u2019s a result of the State of Florida threatening to overturn the ban, which is pretty irritating. And it may seem counterintuitive \u2014 even if the ban is wrong, it\u2019s been in place so long, so why lift it now? But the ban was wrong when it was enacted, a knee-jerk reaction to news events. Lifting the ban is the right thing to do.\nTags: animals, dogs, law\n\u00ab The camera solution Pride, Greed, Sloth, and general incompetence \u00bb",

Because of the unusual nightlife activity found in this side of the state, a lot of people tend to shy away or even consider Miami as viable place to raise a family. But if you look at different Coral Gables homes, you might want to reconsider that notion.\nIt is already given that some parts of Miami is not really family-friendly because of the number of adult-themed activities found in the city, but Coral Gables is pretty much not your average Miami neighborhood. Most of the residential properties located in Coral Gables provide a different vibe compared to the ones you regularly see in Miami.\nJust by visiting the different neighborhoods in Miami, you will immediately feel the differences of one neighborhood to the other. If you are planning to raise a family in Miami, then your choices are either getting an exclusive residential property in the artificial islands located at the MacArthur Causeway, or you will settle for a good neighborhood like Coral Gables or Aventura.\nIf you have the purchasing power to buy a good residential villa in Star Island, do not think twice about it especially if safety and security is your number one concern! But if you are just looking for a place that offers almost the same quality but is dramatically cheaper, then the residential properties in Coral Gables would suit you well!\nOne of the biggest advantages of getting a home in Coral Gables is the fact that the University of Miami \u2013 one of the best schools in the Sunshine State \u2013 is located in this neighborhood. If you are thinking about the future and raise kids that you can send off to college, Coral Gables is a no-brainer. Sure, properties in the Gables are pricier than Miami\u2019s average residential properties, but the quality of life is far more different here!\nIt is more than safe to say that if you are looking for a property that you want to truly call your home, Coral Gables homes will fit the bill perfectly! With the University of Miami just within close range, you can expect that your property\u2019s market value would not depreciate as quickly as the ones found in downtown Miami or even Miami Beach for that matter! So do not hesitate to look at properties in the Gables, because you might find the property you have always dreamed of in this place!",

        "raw_content": "To call \"Oldboy\" a revenge film would be appropriate, but to call it just that would be a massive understatement. \"Oldboy\" doesn't focus on the aspect of damage escalation that typical revenge films usually focus on. Rather, it focuses on the reasons for revenge.\n\"Be it a grain of sand or a rock, in water they sink the same\"\nThis line sums up most of what \"Oldboy\" is about. However, don't discredit it just because it doesn't have a complex theme. Other good movies may explore multiple aspects effectively but \"Oldboy\" hits you with it's moral like a truck. It also puts you at the edge of your seat throughout the film. As it slowly peel away the skins of a well layered mystery, you finally realize the captivating yet brutal essence of the film.\n\"Oldboy\" revolves around Oh Daesu. Our protagonist was kidnapped on his way back from work and locked up in a room. He wasn't told the reason why or how long he was going to be locked up. As a result, he lived day by day, bordering on the brink of insanity. Finally after 15 long years, he was released. The film starts from there, where Oh Daesu pursues the reason as to why he is locked up with frightening determination and perseverance and ultimately convicts the man responsible.\nThis film is among my favorites. It is the best foreign film I have ever seen and one of the best in its genres, up there with the likes of \"The Prestige\". While I cannot recommend this film to everyone since it is rather disturbing, I can safely say that people who have no problem with dark films will definitely enjoy this. In my opinion, Oldboy is a 10/10.",

We welcome the use of life sciences to better understand it. Science cannot deny God. In the previous post I submitted to you the idea that we, as part of Creation, cannot fully understand \u2026\nThesis 3: Since we are created beings, we cannot fully understand the Creation. We are not attempting a definition or description of Creation, its timing, process, scope, extensiveness, or future. Humans have always wanted to know more about themselves and the surrounding world. It is in our being to observe, to question, to look for answers, \u2026\nThesis 2: God is the Creator of everything there is. This means that we do not believe in the absoluteness of time, space, matter, energy, etc., but all of the above have been created ex-nihilo by God. Following the first thesis, where God is the only unmade, unborn, self-existing, eternal, and indescribable \u201cI AM\u201d, \u2026\nIn my previous post I listed ten theses that I thought could form a basis for a coherent creationist approach. Evidently, I use \u201cthesis\u201d and \u201ctheses\u201d in their common usage such as \u201cstatement(s)\u201d, or \u201cidea(s)\u201d.

Perhaps I cannot understand the true reasons of those who decided to be silent on the subject of Creation. From the comments of those who shared their opinion, I draw a few ideas \u2026\nOne of the most challenging problems we face as SDA Christians in the 21st Century is the contradiction between our Creation model, the scientific data, and the secular evolutionist views regarding the origin of biological life. Our educated youth and adult members alike are leaving the church at an alarming rate due to this controversy \u2026\nA comment on \u201cDezamagiri\u201d\nBy andrei in Articles (English)\nThis was too long of a comment to simply add under the previous post: I think it\u2019s abundantly clear that Christianity as a whole has become bloated, complacent and \u201crusted\u201d as noted.

I proved it in my last fight against (Lucas) Matthysee,\" Pacquiao said. \"And now I prove it again at the age of 40.\"\nIn his 70th fight as a professional, Pacquiao retains the lesser version of the WBA's two welterweight belts and possibly sets the stage for a rematch with Floyd Mayweather, who watched the bout from ringside.\nPacquiao improved to 61-7-2 with 39 knockouts, winning on all three judges' scorecards, including by one tally of 117-111. The other two judges also had it one-sided at 116-112.\n\"Tell him to come back to the ring and we will fight,\" Pacquiao said. \"I am willing to fight again Floyd Mayweather. If he is willing to come back in boxing.\"\nMayweather, who helped promote Saturday's boxing card, was non-committal when asked if he would get back in the ring with Pacquiao.\n\"Right now I am living the happy life,\" he said.\nMayweather also visited Pacquiao in his dressing room before the fight. \"He just said hello. Wished me luck,\" Pacquiao said.\nHe was the more active of the two boxers and it didn't take long for Broner to get frustrated with Pacquiao's speed as Broner delivered a right forearm shiver to his opponent's jaw at the end of the second round.\nDAMAGING LEFT HOOK\nPacquiao did a good job of setting up solid head and body shots with well-timed head fakes and jabs. His most effective punch in the early rounds was a body shot and then a left hook to the face as Broner ducked down to protect his midsection.\nPacquiao had a good sixth round but got caught at the end with an uppercut and left hook on the chin \u2013 though even that wasn't enough for Broner to win the round.\nPacquiao's best rounds were seven through nine but the only blemish on his night was he couldn't get his second knockout in a row.\n\"I can still be a greasy fighter and give my best at the age of 40,\" he said.\n\"I wanted to be more aggressive but (co-trainer Buboy Fernandez) told me to counter and wait for opportunities.\"\n\"You all know I beat that boy,\" Broner said. \"They trying to get that money again with Pacquiao and Floyd but it's cool. I ain't worrying about that.\"\nMayweather won the 2015 bout with Pacquiao in a contest that generated $600 million in revenue and a record 4.6 million pay per view buys but failed to live up to its \"Fight of the Century\" hype.\nPacquiao last fought in July, 2018, when he scored his first knockout in six years with a seventh-round stoppage of Argentina's Matthysse in Kuala Lumpur.\nSince then, Pacquiao's career had followed an uncertain trajectory, with a shock defeat to Australia's Jeff Horn in Brisbane in 2017 followed by a year-long absence from the ring.",

Given the importance of communities in shaping the health and well being of young people, the AffiliateMarketIngtools of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine held a workshop in June 2016, to examine the implementation of evidence- based prevention by communities. Participants examined questions related to scaling up, managing, and sustaining science in communities. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.\nThe Roundtable on Health Literacy of the AffiliateMarketIngtools of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened a public workshop to examine health insurance through the lens of health literacy, focusing on literacy related barriers to information and coverage as well as on possible solutions.\nDespite the high prevalence and burden of nervous system disorders, development of new therapeutics lags behind other disease areas. Gaps in understanding the underlying pathophysiology, a dearth of biomarkers, and limitations in the capacity of animal models to predict drug efficacy for human brain disorders have contributed to a high rate of late stage failures in drug development and decreased investment in neuroscience research programs at pharmaceutical companies. On September 12-13, 2016, the AffiliateMarketIngtools of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine\u2019s Forum on Neuroscience and Nervous System Disorders hosted a public workshop to explore opportunities to accelerate drug development absent predictive animal models.\nCountering violent extremism (CVE) consists of various prevention and intervention approaches to increase the resilience of communities and individuals to radicalization toward violent extremism, to provide nonviolent avenues for expressing grievances, and to educate communities about the threat of recruitment and radicalization to violence.\nThe Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) have responsibilities for evaluating and regulating respiratory protective devices (RPDs) for health care workers. To provide input to NIOSH and FDA and to discuss potential next steps to integrate the two agencies\u2019 processes to certify and approve N95 respirators for use in health care settings, a workshop was held by the AffiliateMarketIngtools of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (the AffiliateMarketIngtools).\nOn June 16, 2016, the Roundtable on Population Health Improvement held a workshop in Brooklyn, New York, to explore the influence of trauma and violence on communities. The workshop was designed to bring attention to the impact of racism and violence on communities; some social and physical interventions that can change landscapes of violence; some local strategies to build community resilience and safety; some lessons learned from select approaches and initiatives designed to reduce community violence, and public health-informed approaches to community policing and collaboration. This Proceedings of a Workshop synthesizes the presentations and discussions that occurred during the workshop, Community Violence as a Population Health Issue.\nIn one of the most comprehensive studies of recent research on the health effects of recreational and therapeutic cannabis use, a new report from the AffiliateMarketIngtools of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine offers a rigorous review of relevant scientific research published since 1999. This report summarizes the current state of evidence regarding what is known about the health impacts of cannabis and cannabis-derived products, including effects related to therapeutic uses of cannabis and potential health risks related to certain cancers, diseases, mental health disorders, and injuries. Areas in need of additional research and current barriers to conducting cannabis research are also covered in this comprehensive report.\nHealth equity is the state in which everyone has the opportunity to attain full health potential and no one is disadvantaged from achieving this potential because of social position or any other socially defined circumstance. Currently in the United States, the burdens of disease and poor health and the benefits of well-being and good health are inequitably distributed with negative consequences for the nation\u2019s wellbeing, prosperity, and economic competitiveness. Although some aspects of a person\u2019s health status depend on individual behaviors and choice, health is also shaped by community-wide factors, and research shows that problems like poverty, unemployment, low educational attainment, inadequate housing, lack of public transportation, exposure to violence, and neighborhood deterioration (social or physical) shape health and contribute to health inequities.\nEmerging neurotechnologies\u2014devices and techniques designed to collect information about the brain or affect its function\u2014are becoming increasingly important due to scientific and technological advances and a persistent need to develop effective therapies to address the large global burden of neurological and psychiatric disease. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)\u2014in collaboration with Arizona State University and the AffiliateMarketIngtools of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine\u2014held a workshop in , DC, on Neurotechnology and Society: Strengthening Responsible Innovation in Brain Science.\nHave we begun to tip the scales towards achieving a healthy weight for all Americans? What are the best bets and most promising opportunities that will drive future progress and action in obesity prevention and treatment, and what obstacles need to be overcome? The Roundtable on Obesity Solutions of the We Treat You of the AffiliateMarketIngtools of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine held a workshop titled, \u201cDriving Action and Progress on Obesity Prevention and Treatment\u201d to address these questions.",

        "raw_content": "How Nigeria rejection led to Joshua's rise to stardom\nHow Nigeria rejection led to Anthony Joshua's rise to stardom\nColin UdohSpecial to ESPN\nItinerant writer. Engineer in a previous incarnation. One time Black Belt. Lover of football, flirter with other sports.\nThis story was originally published on Kwes\u00e9ESPN ahead of Anthony Joshua's fight against Wladimir Klitschko on 29 April 2017. Joshua won in the 11th round via TKO.\nOn Saturday night, Anthony Joshua could have been fighting Wladimir Klitschko, as world boxing champion, under the green white green banner of Nigeria rather than the Union Jack.\nThere, but for one small and now ultimately significant rejection by Nigerian boxing officials in 2008, when he wanted to represent the country of his parents at the Olympic Games. And it was all a question of timing. So they say, at least...\nMaybe his career would have taken an entirely different path if he had been flying the green and white colours nearly a decade ago.\nJoshua makes no secret of his Nigerian heritage. If anything, he embraces it. His middle name, Femi (short for Oluwafemi), is as Nigerian as Nigerian is. On numerous occasions he has not been shy to speak about his Nigerian roots.\nIn one post-fight interview muckaround with Nigerian reporter Oma Akatugba, he even attempted to speak some of his native Yoruba language, and the map tattooed on his shoulder tells its own cultural tale. It is a reflection of how connected he has tried to remain to his African roots.\nIt was that connection that drove him to try and represent Nigeria at the 2008 Olympic Games, only to be turned down by the country's boxing coaches.\nObisia Nwankpa, former Commonwealth champion, world title contender and chief coach of the Nigerian boxing team, tells the story: \"He reached out to us, asking to be part of our Olympic team, so we invited him to come down and take part in trials.\n\"Unfortunately, he did not appear when we asked him to and came down only when we had finished our trials, finalised our team and were about to travel for a training tour. Maybe other coaches would have accepted it, but I could not.\n\"It's a pity he did not get his chance at that time, but the two boxers we selected then, Durodola Olanrewaju and Onorede Ohwarieme, were outstanding and experienced and there was no way I was going to drop them for somebody I had not even seen.\"\nBoth Olanrewaju and Ohwarieme failed to go beyond their first bouts at the Beijing Olympics. Olanrewaju lost to Cuba's Osmay Acosta, who went on to win bronze, while Ohwarieme was beaten by Lithuania's Jaroslavas Jaksto. Nwankpa is convinced that Joshua would not have fared any better at the time.\n\"Those two were great boxers and the reason they did not do so well was partly because our preparations were not really so good, and partly because there is also some politics in the way they judge these fights at amateur level.\"\nJeremiah Okorodudu represented Nigeria at the 1984 Olympic Games. His relationship with Nwankpa is frosty at best and they do not often agree. They hold divergent views on Joshua; Okorodudu claiming some stinging words were said to the young boxer.\n\"When they turned him back, they told him that if he was that good he should have fought for Britain,\" Okorodudu alleges.\nThat snub, it seems, provided additional motivation which spurred the young boxer to fight his way into the British Olympic team. Four years later, Nigeria's rejected nugget had become Great Britain's cornerstone Olympic gold medalist. So is it possible that Joshua dodged a bullet by that rejection?\nNwankpa grudgingly agrees: \"Well, maybe if he had represented Nigeria at that time he would not have won gold at the Olympics. And possibly, even if he had won, he may not have achieved what he is achieving now.\n\"Being born in England gives him a certain amount of preference and because he is representing them, he also gets a lot of support from them; good management, and world class preparation.\n\"Here, it would have been difficult for him to get the kind of support that he has now. And if he doesn't have that support, he won't have fights and if he doesn't have fights, he cannot be champion,\" Nwankpa argues.\nAnthony Joshua is preparing to face the legendary Wladimir Klitschko at Wembley. Dan Mullan/Getty\nOkorodudu again holds opposite views to Nwankpa: \"I believe he could still have achieved all that if he had fought for Nigeria. We have had boxers who have done well fighting for Nigeria.\n\"Peter Konyegwachie won silver in 1984. David Izonritei also won silver and I trained Samuel Peter for three years before he went to the Olympic Games and later became a world champion.\n\"So if Joshua had been given a chance here, I believe he could still have won gold and still be a world champion.\"\nOn further reflection, however, Okorodudu admits it would have been a harder journey for the young champion: \"Lack of fights is a big problem for our boxers. They turn professional and there is no promotion.\n\"Joshua is where he is because he is getting good promotion, so maybe it would have been tougher for him. But because he was born in England, he could still have moved abroad, like Peter did, and that would have worked for him.\"\nNwankpa, who was close to being a world champion himself until he lost the WBC title fight to Saoul Mamby, insists he has no regrets about his decision to cold-shoulder Joshua.\nHe says: \"I would do it again because we must always do things the right way. Simply because somebody was born abroad does not mean he can just walk into our team without taking part in our trials. That would be unfair to those who sweated to take part and qualified.\n\"So no, I have no regrets at all.\"",

The past \"monster storm\" had predicted 1 to 2 feet of snow, and we got 0 inches at the lake level here by the time the storm was over yesterday afternoon. There was more snow on mountain tops, but still, a lot less than what was expected. We saw the satellite map and the storm front seemed to stall over the mountains west of us. It just couldn't get over the the crest to come to Tahoe Basin, I remember hearing comment saying it was partly due to the gusty wind. But last night, surprisingly after the storm was officially over, we got about 1/2 of an inch of snow, I guess it was better than nothing after all.\nWe went for a walk this morning through the meadow and creek next to our house. Today is Paul's birthday, so he was happy to start the day with a walk in the snow. And I got a chance to take photos when I was actually going for a walk.\nAnd I'm very happy to report that so far this month, I've raised total $352 for animal shelters, that's $200 left after the last donations. I'll make the next donations probably next week. So happy many knitters are helping me with this donation drive. Thank you.",

        "raw_content": "\u2190 Q & A with Bernie \u2013 September 5, 2016\nI\u2019m going through a toothache with swollen gums. A tooth extraction is scheduled for Wednesday. I\u2019ve taken the assigned medicines, but the swelling is still painful.\nI understand that there may be a spiritual angle to it. I was reading your book, A Book of Miracles, and in the section where you talk about creating miracles, given my situation, how can I create one, or at least know that All Will Be Well?\nYour body believes what your mind visualizes.\nLove your body and teeth. See it healing and all going well at the dentist visit, with no pain. Visualize healing rapidly.\nYour immune system responds to your feelings. A very simple and effective way to strengthen it is to laugh for no particular reason every few hours. If you need help, think about something that made your laugh out loud at any time in your life, and remind yourself of that three or four times each day.\nWanted to share the results of my latest CT scan with you\u2026.the tumor is the same size but the 3 lymph nodes that were impacted no longer are. The doctor said he\u2019d now say it is Stage 2 rather than Stage 3. Good news!\nA sign that what I\u2019m doing is working\u2026.sure hope so!! Now, to shrink the tumor!\nBelieve in your potential.\nYou can melt the tumor like a block of ice with God\u2019s light, or you can turn off the blood to it and starve it to death.\nYou can use those visualizations or come up with other images that work for you. Have faith, and love your body and life.\nQuestion for Bernie (Follow-up from questioner post-surgery)\nMy surgery went very well. I have followed all your precious advice and I really felt very good after. I haven\u2019t had any pains and the nurses were very surprised because they took out some lymph nodes, and I had some edema in my breast.\nThen I met the surgeon and she explained the treatment to me. She said that I can follow a clinical trial in order to check if I need chemotherapy or not, which was really a good idea for me. But a week after I met the oncologist, she said that they have decided that I should get chemotherapy even if I don\u2019t need it. She doesn\u2019t want to take any risk.\nSo I was very anxious about getting this treatment even if I don\u2019t need it. Then a week after my talk with the oncologist, I got an infection in my breast. So I should wait 10 days before chemo starts. I am so afraid of the chemotherapy. The oncologist is one of the best in Europe, but I don\u2019t know if I can trust her.\nI don\u2019t know how to meditate to prepare my body to cope with all this poison. I am afraid to be sicker than I was before my cancer. I am not sure whether to be ready or to refuse the treatment.\nYou can either say no to chemo or in the next 10 days, every few hours picture yourself going to get chemo and having no side effects and feeling well. Visualize that you are hungry and have no hair loss or any other side effects.\nYour body will believe what you picture in your mind, and your body will do well. If you fear it and see it in a negative way, you will have all the side effects and problems just thinking about it.\nYou decide if you are trying not to die by doing everything doctor tells you, or you are living as a person who does what is right for you.\nThis entry was posted in Humor & Healing, Mind / Body Medicine, Q & A with Bernie, Spirituality and tagged A Book of Miracles, cancer, chemotherapy, dental pain, immune system, laughter and healing, miracles, trying not to die, visualization.

        "raw_content": "Rev. Dr. ML King Jr\u2019s \u201ctraveling bible\u201d one of two which will be used at President Barack Obama\u2019s second inaugural\n\u2026is a church on Sunday morning.\n\u201c\u2026 most of the major denominations still practice segregation in local churches, hospitals, schools and other church institutions. It is appalling that the most segregated hour of Christian America is 11 o\u2019clock on Sunday morning, the same hour when many are standing to sing, \u2018In Christ there is no East nor West.\u201d\nSo said the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1963. Relatively little has changed in United States religious race relations. As we consider the second inauguration of President Barack Obama on the Federal King Holiday, as we celebrate the Sesquicentennial of the Emancipation Proclamation and the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington, I am led to wonder, why are we still so far apart?\nAccording to co authors Spencer Perkins and Chris Rice writing in More Than Equals: Racial Healing for the Sake of the Gospel,\n\u201cNinety percent of African-American Christians worship in all-black churches. Ninety percent of white American Christians worship in all-white churches.\u2026Years since the incredible victories of the civil rights movement, we continue to live in the trajectory of racial fragmentation. The biggest problem is that we don\u2019t see that as a problem.\u201d\nIs it a problem? What is it in a post racial, modern America, where the percentage of interracial marriage is at an all-time high according to an article published last year in the Huffington Post that keeps us apart when we worship on Sunday mornings?\n\u201cInterracial marriages in the U.S. have climbed to 4.8 million \u2013 a record 1 in 12 \u2013 as a steady flow of new Asian and Hispanic immigrants expands the pool of prospective spouses. Blacks are now substantially more likely than before to marry whites.\u201d\nHomes and families have become increasingly racially diverse; houses of worship have not. What\u2019s up with that? Even with the rise of so-called mega churches, where thousands join themselves together in corporate worship, while the numbers are better, religious race relations there are not.\nMega church expert and professor at Connecticut\u2019s Hartford Seminary Scott Thumma collaborated with the Dallas-based Leadership Network, a Christian non-profit consultancy on a study finding that minorities comprise 20% or more of worshippers across nearly 1200 mega churches nationally. That\u2019s a good bit of diversity, but as mega churches represent only .3% of estimated congregations in the US, that religious diversity might be good for them, but not good enough for the rest of us, yet.\nSociologist Michael O. Emerson, director of Rice University\u2019s Center for Race, Religion and Urban Life writes that while the predominance of integrating mega churches have white leadership, white Christians tend, statistically, not to remain in black-led congregations. What\u2019s that about? Is the witness of the church hindered by a lack of diversity? What if people choose to join themselves together in worship based upon affinities rather than exclusion? Is it still wrong? Does it matter?\nDoes it matter? Co-authors Perkins and Rice argue that religious racial reconciliation is critical, not solely for the sake of racial harmony\u2013even though it will lead to that\u2013but for the witness of the gospel.\u201d Dr. Catherine Meeks, Professor of Socio Cultural Studies and professor of Social Science and Director of the Lane Center for Community Engagement and Service at Wesleyan College in Macon, GA writing in the Huffington Post believes\n\u201cRacial reconciliation is not optional. It is God\u2019s intention to reconcile all of humanity and it is a good idea for modern day Christians to become more intentional about it if there is any real interest in following God and seeking God\u2019s will.\u201d\nSo, will Americans ever learn to move beyond the legacy of slavery and racial inequality that keeps us apart? Does the first African-American President taking his second oath of office on both the 1861 Lincoln bible AND the one Rev. Dr. ML King, Jr. carried as he traveled, writing speeches and sermons in the Civil Rights Movement usher in an era where we can we pray together as a step on the path to living together? Loving another?\nShall two walk together, except they have agreed? Amost 3:3 (ERV)\nOr, is it enough to walk in the same direction, but on different paths? What do you think? What color is your God?\nPresident Obama will again use the 1861 Lincoln bible as he takes his second oath of office\n2013, America, Barack Obama, church, civil rights, Dr. Martin Luther King, Inauguration, Jr., Martin Luther King, mega church, Politics, President, Race, religion, segregation\nElise Daly Parker\nExcellent Chelle. The good news is I\u2019ve seen similar thinking and questioning quite a bit lately. I agree that integration of our churches is a testimony to our One True God. What color is He\u2026every color and He came to set us free. Praying that the Lord will show me my part.",

According to their website, they currently have no upcoming concerts scheduled, but they'll want to remedy that in a hurry, because the buzz surrounding the group, due largely to the Zales commercial, has allowed their album to enter the Top 100 on the U.S. iTunes chart.\nHear Various Cruelties&apos; &apos;If It Wasn&apos;t for You&apos; in the Zales Winter Holiday 2012 Commercial",

        "title": "Transfer The Digital Camera Images To Your Computer",
        "raw_content": "There are a few very important tasks associated with using the digital camera. The most important is of course capturing a beautiful photograph. The next most important task is that of transferring this image somewhere from where it can be printed. The most suitable place is hence the computer. Now, here comes another area of importance that needs to be analyzed and sufficient knowledge is required to be imparted to the users to make ample use of such an important feature. This discussion is thus generally focused upon this mechanism to transfer the digital camera images to the computer, and the various types of such a transfer. Looking from a very simple point of view, there are two methods for transferring the digital camera images to the computer; they are firstly by attaching the digital camera directly to the computer (a process that is popularly called tethering) and secondly by the use of a memory card reader.\nIn the present world most digital cameras are endowed with arrangements for a comparatively nippy USB connection. USB is basically an interface between a computer and peripheral devices like keyboards, telephones, scanners, and printers. In the current case this peripheral device is the digital camera. This USB feature enables the computer to be directly connected to the digital camera and transfer the images via the USB port present in the computer itself also. Many of the computer operating systems (like the Windows XP) have features for in-built tethering support for this purpose solely. One major problem of this feature of tethering is that it consumes a huge amount of power from the batteries. For this reason, many of the digital cameras are provided with AC adapter that powers the camera. The appropriate software installed within the computer and the digital cameras provides the entire task for making a successful transfer of the images from the digital camera to the computer.\nRegarding the software associated with such a digital image transfer from a digital camera to a computer, it is important to state that digital cameras come equipped with CDs containing driver files, image viewers and photo editing software. It connects to the computer via a USB or other port. Some digital cameras come with a PCMCIA interface also.\nThe next feature for making a successful transfer of image from the digital camera to the computer is via memory card readers. These memory card readers make image transfers without consuming a lot of the precious digital camera batteries; this is the best part of this method. Two important points define the memory card readers; the first is the type of memory card the digital camera uses for storing images. Secondly, the type of connection the digital camera has with the computer. USB is the most predominant kind of card reader available in today's world. In some cases, many computers are equipped with certain slots that take in cards directly inside the computer or may be with the help of a PC card adapter too. Then the transfers of images are made appropriately from the digital camera into the computer memory efficiently.\nAll the features and the technology discussed in the above lines are focused towards uncovering the various efficient and suitable methods for a better transfer method of the images and photographs from the digital camera into the computer memory. As technology advances with years, these would get further improved and the popularity and flexibility of this fantastic device, the digital camera, would get even more all the rage!",

        "raw_content": "Targeting the Luftwaffe\nJohn T. Correll\nWhen Spaatz and Doolittle changed the fighter strategy, it was the beginning of the end for German airpower in Western Europe.\nFighters leave curving contrails while escorting a B-17 bomber on a mission over Germany in 1943. Photo: AFA Library\nIn January 1944, the new commander of Eighth Air Force, Maj. Gen. James H. Doolittle, was visiting his subordinate commander, Maj. Gen. William A. Kepner, at VIII Fighter Command, when he noticed a slogan on the wall. It read: \u201cThe first duty of Eighth Air Force fighters is to bring the bombers back alive.\u201d Kepner said the sign was there when he got there. Doolittle told him to take it down, that it was wrong.\nA new sign went up: \u201cThe first duty of Eighth Air Force fighters is to destroy German fighters.\u201d\nThis was considerably more than a moment of fighter pilot bravado. It marked a key change in strategy in the air war in Europe.\n\u201cAs far as I\u2019m concerned, this was the most important and far-reaching military decision I made during the war.\u201d Doolittle said. \u201cIt was also the most controversial.\u201d\nThe fighters were no longer constrained to holding close formation with bombers. Instead, they would fly ahead, look for German fighters, and attack them where they found them.\nBomber crews were dismayed at first, but the results were dramatic. Within a few months, the Allies had seized air superiority from the Germans and held it for the rest of the war. The average monthly loss rate for Eighth Air Force heavy bombers fell from 5.1 percent in 1943 to 1.9 percent in 1944.\nIt was part of a broader plan by Lt. Gen. Carl A. \u201cTooey\u201d Spaatz, commander of US Strategic Air Forces in Europe (USSTAF) to destroy the Luftwaffe. Spaatz deliberately used the bombers as bait. By attacking the German oil supplies, they would lure the Luftwaffe up into direct combat, where US fighters waited for them. German airpower would be destroyed by attrition.\nThe Luftwaffe managed a recovery of sorts later in the year, but its losses in the spring of 1944 were of critical importance. On D-Day, June 6, the Allied invasion force was strung out for miles along the Normandy coast, presenting the greatest target of the war for German airpower. The Luftwaffe was unable to mount opposition of any significance.\nThe Spaatz-Doolittle strategy also demonstrated the error of pre-war theories\u2014strongly held by Air Corps leaders, including Henry H. \u201cHap\u201d Arnold and Spaatz\u2014about the relative roles of bombers and fighters and how they could best operate together.\nThree B-17s are attacked by a German fighter (top, center) during a 1944 mission. Photo: Imperial War Museum\nTHE BOMBER ASSUMPTION\nBetween the world wars, \u201cthe task of formulating doctrine fell largely to the faculty of the old Air Corps Tactical School,\u201d said military historian I. B. Holley Jr. \u201cIn the early years, when the memory of World War I was still fresh in everyone\u2019s mind, the boys in the bomber branch displayed considerable realism in their thinking. When they projected long-range strategic bombardment missions, they visualized fighter escorts going along to fend off enemy attacks. This view persisted at least down to 1930, but thereafter the picture changed radically.\u201d\nThe new Martin B-10 bomber could outfly the older fighters. The B-17 and the B-24 were even faster and flew at altitudes too high for most pursuit aircraft to catch them. The revised doctrine from the Tactical School was that bombers could penetrate air defenses with acceptable losses so that fighter escorts were not necessary.\n\u201cGradually, it became an article of faith with the enthusiasts that the bomber was invulnerable,\u201d Holley said.\nIn tests at March Field, California, in 1933, Lt. Col. Arnold demonstrated that P-26 fighters were seldom able to intercept B-10 and B-12 bombers. In his view, fighters of the future would rarely be a threat to bombers. In any role, pursuit aircraft would be of limited value.\nAmong those challenging Arnold\u2019s conclusions was Capt. Claire L. Chennault, an instructor in fighter tactics at the Tactical School. Arnold responded to Chennault\u2019s rebuttal with a note asking, \u201cWho is this damned fellow Chennault?\u201d\nArnold was the foremost advocate of the bomber. By 1938, he was a two-star general and Chief of the Air Corps. His principal disciples were Spaatz and Ira C. Eaker. Chennault left the Air Corps and went to China, where he led the fighters of the American Volunteer Group\u2014the Flying Tigers\u2014for Chiang Kai-shek.\nFighters were a secondary consideration in pre-war research and development. In 1940, the standard Air Corps fighter was the P-40, outclassed by the best German, British, and Japanese fighters. In 1939 and again in 1941, the Air Corps rejected proposals for auxiliary fuel tanks to give tactical aircraft, including escort fighters, greater range. Drop tanks, it was held, would add weight for no good purpose.\nIn any case, escort fighters were not supposed to be off chasing enemy aircraft. Army Air Forces Field Manual 1-15, Tactics and Technique of Air Fighting, said in April 1942 the mission of close escorts \u201cprecludes their seeking to impose combat on other forces except as necessary to carry out their defensive role.\u201d\nP-51 Mustangs of the 361st Fighter Group, Eighth Air Force, fly in formation with with long-range drop tanks. Photo: Roger Freeman Collection/Imperial War Museum\nTHE CONCEPT GOES TO WAR\nWhen the United States entered World War II, Lt. Gen. Arnold was chief of the Army Air Forces. In 1942, Maj. Gen. Spaatz went to Britain as commander of Eighth Air Force, with Brig. Gen. Eaker as commander of VIII Bomber Command under Spaatz.\nThe B-17s flew their first mission from England in August 1942 with limited escort from the Royal Air Force. American pilots from VIII Fighter Command took over the job in October, flying short-range British Spitfires that could go no further than Antwerp in Belgium.\nEaker was not particularly worried about that. \u201cOur bombing experience to date indicates that the B-17 with its 12 .50-caliber guns can cope with the German day fighter, if flown in close formation,\u201d he said in October. \u201cI think it is safe to say that a large force of day bombers can operate without fighter cover against material objectives anywhere in Germany, without excessive losses.\u201d\nOperations against occupied Europe had barely begun when the Allied strategic focus shifted\u2014at British insistence\u2014to North Africa. The key commanders went there, including Spaatz.\nEaker was promoted to major general and took over Eighth Air Force in December 1942 when Spaatz was put in command of US air units in North Africa. Aircraft and pilots were transferred from Eighth Air Force to form Twelfth Air Force in Africa.\nAs bomber missions into western Europe increased, losses rose at an alarming rate. \u201cIn the late spring of 1943, Arnold\u2019s staff had determined that the \u2018self-defending\u2019 bomber was incapable of defending itself against German attacks,\u201d said historian Steven L. McFarland. The AAF School of Applied Tactics, successor to the Tactical School, \u201cwas teaching its students that escort was essential to successful bombardment as early as March 1943.\u201d\nThe first P-47 fighters arrived in Britain in April to escort the B-17s. In July, they were outfitted with drop tanks, giving them enough fuel to reach the German border. Bombers were seven times more likely to be shot down if they were not accompanied by fighters.\nBy summer, close escort was the standard practice. Initially, the fighters flew as top cover but then moved down into closer formation beside and in front of the bombers to better meet the Luftwaffe attack. The P-47s had to weave and limit their speed to keep pace with the slower bombers.\nWhatever fragment of credibility that remained for the Tactical School bomber concept was swept away by stunning losses over Schweinfurt and Regensburg that fall. For the Schweinfurt mission Oct. 14, the P-47 escorts turned back just inside the German border, whereupon the Luftwaffe attacked in large numbers from all directions. One of every five B-17s that set out from England that day did not return.\nFor the rest of the year, Eighth Air Force struck only targets that were within range of the escort fighters. \u201cThe fact was that the Eighth Air Force had, for the time being, lost air superiority over Germany,\u201d the official AAF history said. In October, Eaker declared the primary role of fighters to be support for the heavy bombers.\nWhen bomber crews completed 25 missions, they got credit for a combat tour and went home, but in late 1943, the odds were against their doing so. Before reaching that mark, 57 percent of them would be dead or missing.\nThe terrible losses were not the only problem. In December, Arnold warned that unless the German Air Force was destroyed, Operation Overlord\u2014the D-Day invasion coming up in June 1944\u2014would not be possible.\nLt. Gen. Carl Spaatz steps out of a B-17 in England in 1944. Spaatz joined Doolittle in reimagining the role of fighters and bombers in World War II. Photo: National Archives\nPRESSING THE ATTACK\nPreparations for Overlord brought wholesale changes. Spaatz returned to England as commander of US Strategic Air Forces in Europe. Doolittle came with him as the new commander of Eighth Air Force, replacing Eaker who was promoted to lieutenant general and sent to command the Mediterranean Allied Air Forces.\nEaker never had enough bombers to achieve the results asked of him, nor did he have enough fighters\u2014or the right kind of fighters\u2014to provide real protection for the bombers. By contrast, with Overlord on the horizon, Doolittle was flooded with resources.\nWithin a few months and despite attrition, operational bombers in Eighth Air Force increased from 461 to 1,655 and the fighter force rose from 274 to 882. Long-range P-38 and P-51 fighters arrived in substantial numbers, and larger fuel tanks enabled all of the fighters, including the P-47s, to go as far as Berlin.\nThat\u2014and Arnold\u2019s mandate to destroy the Luftwaffe\u2014set the stage for Doolittle\u2019s order to Kepner in January 1944 to go after the German fighters. By the end of January, the escorts had spread out into formations 25 miles wide with a squadron out front, sweeping the route for enemy aircraft. Soon entire groups of fighters were ranging 50 miles ahead to catch the German interceptors on the ground or as they were forming up to attack the bombers.\nAt the same time, the Spaatz strategy focused the bomber attacks on two critical elements of the German war industry: aircraft factories and synthetic oil plants. This compelled the Luftwaffe to stay closer to home in a defensive mode rather than venturing afield to intercept the bombers. It also required them to come up and fight the P-38s and P-51s, which were tough opponents.\nBritish Air Chief Marshal Trafford Leigh-Mallory, the Allied air chief for Overlord, disagreed vigorously. He wanted to hold back the fighters for training and the big air battle he anticipated on D-Day. He thought the primary target for the bombers should be German rail centers and marshaling yards.\nThe supreme Allied commander, US Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, settled the priorities with consideration for British sensitivities. Spaatz got most, but not all, of what he wanted. However, it was enough.\nThe ensuing operations, especially the concentrated attacks during \u201cBig Week\u201d in February, dealt the Luftwaffe a blow from which it never fully recovered. The Luftwaffe in western Europe wrote off 34 percent of its fighter strength in January, another 56 percent in February. Production of Bf 109 and Fw 190 fighters continued but did not make up for the attrition. Supplies of aviation fuel dropped from 180,000 tons in April to 50,000 tons in July and 10,000 tons in August.\nThanks to the genius of Hitler\u2019s armaments minister, Albert Speer, the Germans would eventually replenish most of their aircraft losses. They would not be able to replace the veteran pilots lost, though, and the new fighters would sit idle on the ramp for lack of fuel.\nA German Me 262 fighter being shot down by an Eighth Air Force P-51\u2014as seen from the P-51\u2019s gun camera\u2014in January 1945. Photo: USAF\nON FROM OVERLORD\nThe Allies had absolute air supremacy on D-Day. The battle over the beaches predicted by Leigh-Mallory did not happen. The Luftwaffe in France could launch only 70 fighter sorties on the first day of the Normandy invasion and another 175 that night with no significant effect. Allied forces moved inland, establishing forward air bases as they went and rolling back the perimeter of the war in the west.\nThe Eighth Air Force loss rate improved sufficiently in July for Doolittle and Spaatz to raise the level for completion of a combat tour from 25 bomber missions to 35.\nThe Luftwaffe was still able to inflict casualties, but the Allies\u2014especially the United States\u2014could replace their losses. The Germans could not. Already short of pilots, the Luftwaffe had to shut down its training schools for want of fuel. New pilots went into combat with barely 50 hours of flying time.\nThe ground support role virtually ended as bomb racks were taken off fighters so they could concentrate on air defense. \u201cBy late September the Luftwaffe had almost abandoned the Wehrmacht to devote such fighting power as it had left to the Allied bomber fleets,\u201d the official AAF history of the war said.\n\u201cPractically all pretense of maintaining a bomber force was gone, and bomber pilots now flew fighters.\u201d\nEven so, the damage during the Big Week attacks to machinery and equipment at the German aircraft plants had not been as extensive as believed at first, and the armaments ministry was resourceful.\n\u201cFor months the Allies had been looking on the GAF [German air force] as a beaten arm, capable only of rare and ineffective retaliation,\u201d the AAF history said. However, \u201cSpeer\u2019s ministry had worked its usual magic. Skillfully mobilizing materiel and manpower, it concentrated on the [Bf 109 and Fw 190] types and effectively dispersed aircraft production from 27 main plants to 729 smaller ones, some of which were located in quarries, caves, mines, forests, or just in villages. In doing this, the Germans abandoned mass production methods and greatly increased their costs, but they also concealed most of their production centers from both the bombardiers and intelligence officers of the enemy.\u201d\nIn September, the Germans produced 4,103 fighters, their highest total for any month of the war. The Luftwaffe appeared to be poised for a resurgence, although the shortage of fuel and pilots did not allow the operation of nearly as many airplanes as Speer\u2019s factories were turning out.\nTHE LAST OF THE LUFTWAFFE\nGermany\u2019s last real stand in the west was the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944, during which more of its aircraft and pilots were lost. That, combined with a massive transfer of aircraft to the Eastern front in January to meet the Soviet winter offensive \u201crelegated the Western front to the status of a secondary air theater for the Luftwaffe,\u201d said historian Richard G. Davis.\nThe Messerschmitt Me 262, the world\u2019s first operational jet fighter, first appeared in July 1944, and its numbers increased in the opening months of 1945. It was very effective against the B-17s and B-24s, but the Germans had delayed Me 262 production\u2014a bad decision by Luftwaffe chief Herman Goering\u2014and at Hitler\u2019s insistence, modified the design to make it a fighter-bomber instead of a pure air superiority fighter. For the Luftwaffe, it was too little, too late.\nThe Allied armies advanced without any serious threat from German airpower. Eighth Air Force flew its last bomber mission April 8. There were no worthwhile strategic targets left.\nThe Luftwaffe was never completely destroyed. When the Germans surrendered in May, they had about 3,000 front-line combat aircraft remaining \u2014with no means to operate them.\n\u201cIt is generally conceded that the air war against Germany was won during the phase of our operations between the beginning of February 1944 and D-Day,\u201d Doolittle said years later. \u201cThe rate of attrition of the Luftwaffe\u2019s pilots exceeded Germany\u2019s rate of replacement. Also, the several months of reduced aircraft production during a crucial period created a shortage of reserve aircraft that was difficult to overcome. Thus, Germany was low in two essentials at a critical point: aircraft and pilots.\u201d\nJohn T. Correll was the editor-in-chief of Air Force Magazine for 18 years and is now a contributor.

        "raw_content": "Shimano to Pay $150,000 Fine Over Faulty Parts\nBicycles: Federal regulators said Irvine-based company kept reports on cranks private too long.\nJuly 08, 1999|ROBIN FIELDS | TIMES STAFF WRITER\nSports equipment giant Shimano American Corp. will pay a $150,000 fine to settle allegations that it failed to report defects in bicycle cranks soon enough, federal regulators said Wednesday.\nShimano, the Irvine-based subsidiary of Japan's Shimano Inc., recalled 2.5 million bike cranks in July 1997, including 1 million in North America.\nIn the two years after the cranks were made, the company received about 630 reports that they broke under certain levels of pressure, resulting in at least 22 injuries. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said the company kept the information private for too long.\nFederal law requires companies to report product problems that could be hazardous to consumers.\nCompany executives still dispute the government's accusation that they did not meet federal reporting standards but said Wednesday's settlement would avert costly litigation.\n\"While we did not agree with their claim, settling for $150,000 was the easier and less expensive option,\" said Devin Walton, Shimano American's customer service manager.\nThe recalled cranks--components that connect pedals to bike frames--were manufactured from mid-1994 to mid-1995 and installed in more than 200 low- to mid-priced models of mountain bikes.\nThe bikes were sold under 49 brand names, including Bianchi, Cannondale, Diamondback, GT, Giant, Huffy, Motiv, Murray, Raleigh, Schwinn, Trek and Univega.\nThe recalled cranks were thinner and lighter, designed to be more sleek.\nIn the recall, the largest ever in the U.S. bicycle industry, Shimano provided bike repair shops with substitute cranks and paid them $15 plus postage for each faulty component they removed and replaced.\nSo far, hundreds of thousands of bikes have been repaired, Walton said. He estimated the recall has cost Shimano $4.5 million.\nShimano is one of the world's leading makers of bicycle components, including cranks, brakes, shifters and derailleurs. It also makes fishing gear and tackle.\nThe recalled cranks were part of the Altus, Acera and Alivio groups of components and are numbered FC-CT90, FC-M290 and FC-MC12. Consumers who believe they have bikes with these cranks should call their local bicycle dealer, or Shimano at (800) 353-4719, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said.\nGear: Big wheels rule",

        "raw_content": "Major retail chains post tepid sales gain\nMajor chains post a 0.8% increase in retail sales in September compared with a year earlier, ahead of what are expected to be strong holiday-season sales.\nOctober 05, 2012|By Shan Li, Los Angeles Times\nAfter splurging on back-to-school clothes and supplies, shoppers took a break from the malls in September in advance of what is expected to be a solid holiday season.\nRising home sales and a rallying stock market have boosted consumer confidence and willingness to shop, industry experts say. Analysts point to the past months of steady sales as a sign that consumers will hand retailers a healthy boost in November and December.\n\"The holiday season will be a solid success but won't have numbers off the charts,\" said Barbara Kahn, business professor at the University of Pennsylvania.\nShoppers on the prowl Wednesday said they expect to spend a bit more during the holiday season compared with recent years. But most are still cautious about their finances and will keep an eye out for good deals.\n\"I bought four pairs of jeans recently; I didn't shop for fun stuff for so long that it became a necessity,\" said Crystal Gaskill, 34, who finally landed an executive assistant job in September after three years of unemployment. She was shopping in Beverly Hills. \"My first paycheck went to bills, and the second paycheck went to fun.\"\nMajor chains posted a 0.8% increase in retail sales in September compared with the same month last year, below analysts' expectations of a 1.6% rise, according to Thomson Reuters' tally of 19 retailers.\nThe discount sector had a strong showing. Costco Wholesale Corp. reported a 6% gain in sales. TJX Cos., parent company of T.J. Maxx and Marshalls stores, also saw 6% growth. Off-price retailer Ross Stores posted a 5% increase.\nClothing giant Gap Inc. continued its turnaround strategy and saw revenue rise 6%.\nOther retailers posted weak results. Struggling teen clothier Wet Seal, which is fending off efforts by an activist shareholder to remake its board after more than a year of falling sales, reported its sales dropped 12.7%.\nTarget Corp. which posted a 2.1% increase, said it would stop reporting monthly sales at the start of its 2013 fiscal year, which begins Feb. 3. Many retailers, including Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and J.C. Penney Co., have stopped reporting monthly figures.\nResults are based on sales at stores open at least a year, known as same-store sales and considered an important measure of a retailer's health because it excludes store openings and closings.\nSeptember is traditionally the last month of back-to-school shopping, the second-most-important time of the year for retailers (after the winter holidays), accounting for more than 10% of the industry's annual sales. Some retailers see 40% or more of their annual sales come in during the last two months of the year.\nLooking ahead, analysts are split on whether the holiday season will be on par or better compared with last year.\nThe disagreement is spurred by mixed economic data. Payroll processor ADP said this week that private companies beat expectations by adding 162,000 jobs last month, while the Conference Board has reported that consumer confidence in September jumped to the highest level since February.\nBut the National Retail Federation, an industry trade group, said Tuesday that it expects the combined November and December shopping period to grow slower than in the last two years, with a 4.1% increase. National unemployment numbers for September will be released Friday.\n\"The word right now is cautious optimism for what consumers are looking at: They look at job prospects, they look at a rising or at least stable stock market,\" said Bruce Cohen, a retail strategist at the private equity practice of management consultant Kurt Salmon. \"The general spirit is that expectations going forward will be more favorable.\"\nBut Cohen cautioned that economic foundations are still shaky and bad news could influence shoppers.\n\"It could slip in some months or increase in some months,\" he said. \"Consumers are still cautious about what's going on.\"\nRetailers are adapting to the presidential election next month, which will be preceded by heavy advertising on TV, by pushing back some marketing campaigns until after voting concludes, said Michael Brown, a partner in the retail practice at management consulting firm A.T. Kearney.\nBrown forecasts a positive holiday season with a 3% to 4% rise in sales.\n\"We will also see retailers using planned promotions to draw customers in from Black Friday up to Christmas,\" he said.\nSuch discounts probably will attract Alyssa Tamayo, a 23-year-old nanny who plans to go back to school full time and has to budget accordingly for the holiday season.\n\"I have more confidence in the economy,\" the South Bay resident said. \"But I'm not so confident about my own finances.\"",

        "raw_content": "Dodgers' Chad Billingsley throws without pain\nRight-hander, who suffered a partially torn elbow ligament this season, pitches to hitters for two innings. He was facing the possibility of surgery and sitting out next season.\nChad Billingsley pitched to hitters for two pain-free innings Monday. (Patrick T. Fallon / Los Angeles\u2026)\nChad Billingsley pitched to hitters for two pain-free innings Monday, a sign that he may be able to avoid reconstructive elbow surgery this off-season.\n\"It looks like he's going to be ready for the 2013 season,\" said Dave Stewart, Billingsley's agent.\nBillingsley sat out the final month of the season because of a partially torn ligament in his right elbow and faced the possibility of a ligament-replacement operation that would sideline him next season. If healthy, Billingsley figures to be the Dodgers' No. 2 starter behind Clayton Kershaw.\nBillingsley will continue his normal off-season throwing program to prepare himself for spring training.\nBillingsley touched 94 mph with his fastball and threw an assortment of pitches, including his four-seamer, two-seamer, curveball and changeup. Billingsley threw 35 to 40 pitches.\nThis was Billingsley's second time throwing off a mound since he was injured. The first time was Friday.\n\"Very, very promising,\" Stewart said.\n\"Chad is a pretty subdued guy, but he was as excited as he could get.\"\nFree agents identified\nTen Dodgers officially became free agents, including reliever Brandon League, who the team is close to re-signing.\nGeneral Manager Ned Colletti has said he would also like to re-sign the team's two other free-agent relievers, veteran right-hander Jamey Wright and situational left-hander Randy Choate.\nThree of the 10 players were granted free agency as a result of the Dodgers declining their options for 2013: outfielder Juan Rivera, reliever Todd Coffey and catcher Matt Treanor.\nRivera's option was worth $4 million, Coffey's $2.5 million and Treanor's $950,000. Rivera received a buyout of $500,000, Coffey $300,000 and Treanor $150,000.\nLike the players whose options were declined, the team's four other free agents are also unlikely to return: outfielders Shane Victorino and Bobby Abreu, pitcher Joe Blanton and utilityman Adam Kennedy.\nWith Matt Kemp, Andre Ethier and Carl Crawford under contract, the Dodgers don't have room in their starting outfield for Victorino, acquired from the Philadelphia Phillies before the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline. While Victorino expressed an interest in re-signing with the Dodgers, he said he had no intention of doing so to be a backup.\nVictorino, who turns 32 Nov. 30, batted .245 in 53 games with the Dodgers. His .255 average was the lowest of his career since becoming an everyday player, but he set a career high in steals with 39.\nThe Dodgers have 36 players on their 40-man roster.\nKershaw, right fielder Andre Ethier and first baseman Adrian Gonzalez are finalists for Gold Glove Awards, given to the top defensive players in each league at each position. The winners will be announced Tuesday.\nAll three players won Gold Glove Awards last season.\nGonzalez was nominated in the American League because he played for most of the season for the Boston Red Sox. Gonzalez won the award twice in the National League with the San Diego Padres.\nThe Dodgers have granted the Toronto Blue Jays permission to interview third base coach Tim Wallach for their vacant managerial position, according to people familiar with the situation.\nWallach interviewed for the Boston Red Sox's job this month. The Red Sox hired John Farrell, who managed the Blue Jays this year.\nThe Blue Jays wanted to interview Wallach for their manager's position in 2010, but couldn't do so because of a provision in Wallach's contract with the Dodgers.\nDodgers lose Chad Billingsley, win against Mets\nDeal between Clayton Kershaw and Dodgers is not imminent\nChad Billingsley, Ted Lilly could give Dodgers a trade...\nDodgers' Chad Billingsley could be out all of next season\nChad Billingsley put on DL, Stephen Fife to make major...",

        "raw_content": "North Island Grid Upgrade Project paper published\nNovember 29, 2013UncategorizedComments Off on North Island Grid Upgrade Project paper published\nCommerce Commission publishes North Island Grid Upgrade Project paper\nThe Commerce Commission is seeking views on Transpower\u2019s application to amend the allowance approved for the North Island Grid Upgrade Project (NIGU Project).\nTranspower has applied for the allowance to be increased from $824 million to $894 million. However, in its application Transpower states that it intends to recover $876 million of expenditure, $18 million less than the allowance applied for.\nIn today\u2019s paper the Commission outlines the areas it proposes to focus its analysis on. The Commission considers these are the areas where Transpower may have incurred avoidable costs during the planning and delivery of the NIGU Project.\nThe Commission also outlines its proposed approach for determining an appropriate allowance for the NIGU Project.\nIf the allowance is not increased to the proposed level, Transpower will incur a reduction in its future allowable revenues. This would mean that expenditure over the allowance could not be recovered from consumers.\nThose interested in making a submission should read the paper, the questions posed in the paper and Transpower\u2019s application. Submissions are due by 17 January 2014. There will then be a period for cross-submissions. These will be due on 31 January 2014.\nThe Commission is aiming to reach a draft decision by 14 April 2014. The issues paper, Transpower\u2019s application and further details are available on the NIGU Project webpage.\nThe NIGU Project is a large electricity transmission infrastructure project undertaken by Transpower to increase the supply of electricity to the upper North Island. The project involved the construction of transmission a line from Whakamaru, in central North Island to Pakuranga in South Auckland, a distance of 196km.\nThe NIGU Project was approved by the former Electricity Commission in 2007 with the project being completed on in October 2012. The Electricity Commission set an allowance for the NIGU Project of $824 million. The Commerce Commission has since taken over the responsibility for overseeing Transpower\u2019s capital expenditure.\nThe cost of the NIGU Project has exceeded the allowance, and consequently Transpower has applied to the Commission to increase the allowance to $894 million. Transpower, however, seeks to recover a smaller amount of $876 million from consumers. Transpower submitted this application in September 2013.\nIn addition to the $894 million of expenditure, Transpower incurred additional costs that are not recoverable under the regulatory framework. These relate to the loss in value of freehold properties acquired by Transpower amounting to $51 million.\nOnce the Commission makes a decision on an amended allowance, revenue adjustments may be made. Any revenue adjustment will be to ensure expenditure over the amended allowance is not recovered from consumers.\nThe rules, processes and requirements which apply to the allowance amendment process are set out in the Transpower Capital Expenditure Input Methodology Determination.",

        "raw_content": "First state house tenant among new HNZ board appointments\nJuly 12, 2018Politics, PressRelease, SupercityComments Off on First state house tenant among new HNZ board appointments\nHon Phil Twyford\nMinister of Housing and Urban Development Phil Twyford has announced the appointment of three new members of the board of Housing New Zealand (HNZ), including the first state house tenant to be on its board since the corporation was created in 2001.\n\u201cI want Housing New Zealand to be a world class public housing landlord that better meets the needs of families who live in state houses. I believe that the appointments of Leigh Auton, Dr Huhana Hickey and Professor Philippa Howden-Chapman will help provide the direction that we need to make this happen,\u201d says Phil Twyford.\nHuhana Hickey has recently completed a post-doctoral research fellowship at the Auckland University of Technology. She is a panel member of the Human Rights Review Tribunal and received her PhD in Laws and Social Sciences in 2008. Dr Hickey is a community and disability activist and is or has been on the boards of a wide number of NGOs and community groups. She is a tenant of HNZ and will be the first member to bring that perspective to the board since HNZ was created. That will be valuable to HNZ as it changes to be a tenant focused organisation.\nLeigh Auton was the Chief Executive of Manukau City Council until the formation of the new Auckland Council in 2010. He is currently a Trustee of Sistema Aotearoa, the Auckland Philharmonic Orchestra, Habitat for Humanity Greater Auckland and Teach First NZ. He is Chair of the Pulman Park Trust and the Papakura Kootuitui Trust. Mr Auton has extensive governance experience and an understanding and empathy with HNZ\u2019s tenant base and the many and varied issues they face. He has a thorough understanding of how large organisations work and the systems and processes required to deliver operationally.\nPhilippa Howden-Chapman is a Professor at the Otago University Medical School who specialises in public health, with a particular focus on housing, energy, climate change and sustainable cities. She is a winner of the prestigious Prime Minister\u2019s Science Prize. Professor Howden-Chapman was a member of the Independent Housing Stocktake Group and is a member of the Ministerial Advisory Group on Housing and Urban Development. Her experience in conducting research with and on HNZ over nearly two decades will enable her to make a significant contribution to the Board.\nThese appointments follow the recent appointment of Vui Mark Gosche as Deputy Chair of the board.",

        "title": "Nursing Home Abuse: Signs and How to Report",
        "raw_content": "Diving Into Thriving\nNursing Home Advocates\nA Brief Guide to Nursing Home Abuse\nNursing Home Abuse \u2013 even the thought of it is disturbing, yet this is a cruel reality faced by many older Americans. In the USA, more than 3.2 million adults are spending their lives in nursing homes. A survey says that more than 40% of its adult population is destined to enter a nursing home at some point in their lives. No doubt, the condition of these senior citizens is the most vulnerable as at this stage of life, as they lose the ability to defend themselves.\nNursing Home Abuse Is Not Always Easy to Detect\nFamilies usually have a terrible time finding the right nursing home, let alone one that will provide the proper level of care. The scenario is so grave that we can call it a new issue that needs to be addressed by the medical community. A recent survey states that more than 150,000 senior citizens experience nursing abuse each year. Out of these, most of the cases remain unreported, and many people have to go through this brutality each day. Even deaths have been reported as a result of nursing home abuse, with reports claiming the number of moralities is as high as 1,800.\nFamily Members Need to Be the Advocate of the Elderly to Thwart Unscrupulous Employees of the Nursing Facility\nThe Reason Behind Nursing Home Abuse\nThe question that immediately comes to mind is if there is a particular reason for all of this brutality? Well, not actually. There are many reasons for nursing home neglect and abuse. And to put a curb on this heinous action, we need to understand the probable reasons behind it.\nResearch suggests that the major reasons are as follows:\nLack of Training: When the nursing homes hire employees for a nursing job, the requisite must be proper training. This is where the nursing home owners sometimes cut corners or do not properly vet the staff. In the absence of adequate training, they end up creating an environment that is unsafe and vulnerable. As people age, they develop the complexity of body and mind and handling them will require a whole lot of effort. Those, who are in charge of the patients, need to have a particular level of expertise for working with individuals with an ever changing health and mental condition. Without proper training, they will not be able to handle the situation nicely.\nImproper Screening: To lessen the stress, the nursing home owners opt for a quick hiring process. However, this is an unethical practice, because this hiring is not for an average job. Whoever is appointed as an in charge of the elderly must have a balanced mind and no criminal background. When it comes to employing someone for the nursing home, it must be done properly.\nLack of Patience: Call it lack of time or patience; both are the top reasons behind the elderly abuse. Another problem is the cost savings incentive. For-profit facilities will look to hire as few people as possible. As a result, employees are overburdened and lose their patience with the elderly. Staffing shortfalls lead to a reduced level of individual attention for each patient. An extended version a staff shortage is a hidden form of nursing home abuse.\nThe Elderly Are Often Reluctant to Report Concerns that Implicate People Providing Care For Fear of Repercussions\nWhere to Report Nursing Home Abuse?\nNo matter what is the reason for this horrific deed, do not let anyone hurt your loved ones. Report the nursing home abuse and take a quick action against those guilty.\nAPS \u2013 Adult Protective Services have been designated to investigate the elder abuse and neglect cases. APS is present in all the 50 states of the US. The investigation, case planning and monitoring and other critical issues like economic and social assistance are resolved by them. In most of the states, including New Jersey, APS is one of the first responders to nursing home abuse.\nAAAs \u2013 Area Agencies on Aging provide a thorough assistance to elders and their family. The programs and services may vary from state to state, but hold a long-term assistance on elder abuse. You can file your complaint with them, and they will take the full responsibility of controlling it.\nMFCU \u2013 Medicaid Fraud Control Units \u2013 MFCU is needed in each state\u2019s Attorney General Office. They investigate and prosecute patient abuse and neglect in health care. Its contact information is available online, and you can contact them anytime.\nMost Nursing Home Patients Receive Excellent Care, But Being Vigilant Still Makes Sense\nSometimes the elderly people are not ready to report brutality to avoid any negative repercussions. In such a case, it\u2019s the responsibility of family members to recognize and act on any precarious situation. Caretakers need to look for signs of abuse such as feeling depressed. Sometimes we assume it is a medical issue, but the second cause could be nursing home abuse. So, start with providing a trustworthy medical aid and if things don\u2019t get better go for further investigation.\nBruises or grip marks around neck and arms\nRope marks around ankles and wrists\nMysterious injuries happening again and again\nRefusal to go to for medication\nUnexplained change in behavior\nDenial of communication\nTorn clothes\nBruises on the body\nLack of basic hygiene\nImproper food\nLack of medical facilities\nAny of the previously described situations can be a case of nursing home abuse. Don\u2019t panic! You just need to get your story to the agency responsible for investigating claims. States like New Jersey have government agencies charged with taking care of these abuses.\nGovernment Agencies are Charged With Investigating Reports and Licensing Facilities\nSteps to Curb the Nursing Home Neglect\nNumerous federal laws have been created by the government to protect people against any nursing home abuse. Patients have the right to security and privacy among others. With a rise in cases of brutality against elders, the government is constantly developing new laws that require the nursing homes to maintain certain quality standards.\nThe \u201cNursing Home Reform Act\u201d states that nursing homes \u201cmust provide services and activities to attain or maintain the highest practicable physical, mental, and psycho-social well-being of each resident in accordance with a written plan of care.\u201d\nAny facility provider who is overlooking these requirements is subject to judicial trial. If proven guilty, the culprit will have to go into rigorous punishment.\nIn addition to the law, various government bodies like, AAAs, MFCU, APPs has been opened in all the 50 states. Even if someone suspect something evil going on in the surroundings, just one call and the authority will be there to take care of the issue.\nReport Suspected Abuse Before It Starts to Affect the Patient\nHow to Prove Abuse in Nursing Homes\nEven though the client will be thoroughly assisted by the government agencies, to complain against the culprits, you will have to stay active throughout the process. The court will need to have evidence to award damages to any plaintiffs.\nA case with damages requires a supporting medical report or evidence of bruises. Use complete and precise documentation when appearing before the court.\nThe primary type of documentation includes:\nPhotographs of the injuries or any other injury\nNotes of conversation with the staff\nPictures of the prescribed medicines\nPersonal observation notes\nFor cases of severe injury or death of a person, you can even hire a nursing home lawyer. Being an expert in the field, they know how to handle the most complicated cases in the easiest ways. The lawyer can assist clients with evidence collection and can maintain a clear record when and how abuse took place.\nOne matter of concern is that people sometimes hesitate to complain. The thought behind this is that they don\u2019t want to harass those that are still taking care of a loved one. But remember, there can be death, injury or endless suffering related to acts of abuse that apply to your family and others. The culprit needs to be reported and punished!\nSo, whenever such a situation is encountered, make sure that the government authorities are informed. One can save many lives by taking the right step at the right time. Working together, we can protect our loved ones from being the prey nursing home abuse.\n1 The Reason Behind Nursing Home Abuse\n2 Where to Report Nursing Home Abuse?\n2.1 Adult Protective Services\n3 Signs of Abuse and Neglect\n3.1 Signs of Physical Abuse\n3.2 Emotional Abuse\n3.4 Caregiver Neglect\n4 Steps to Curb the Nursing Home Neglect\n5 How to Prove Abuse in Nursing Homes\nElizabeth Brown is a former health care worker who has seen first hand the perils of nursing home care.

Caption: In May, President Obama delivers remarks at the White House during a reception to mark Jewish Heritage Month. Credit: White House.\nForeign policy concerns have been conspicuous by their absence during the presidential campaign so far.\nA failing economy is the paramount concern of most Americans with worries about taxes, spending and domestic issues overshadowing any discussion of the Middle East or the Iranian nuclear threat. Yet the stiff competition for Jewish votes, especially in battleground states such as Florida, Pennsylvania and Ohio, means that Republicans and Democrats are bound to keep hammering each other on the question of President Obama\u2019s attempt to claim that he is the best friend Israel has ever had in the White House.\nThat was the subtext to a minor dustup in Miami last month in which the attempt of Democratic National Committee Chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz to use a Friday night synagogue service to make a speech promoting her party\u2019s talking points about the president led to resignations and ultimately a decision to cancel her appearance on the bima. Wasserman Schultz and the Democrats claimed she was \u201csilenced\u201d by GOP \u201cbullies\u201d in the congregation who had demanded equal time if she was going to use the pulpit to promote the president\u2019s re-election. But what\u2019s interesting about the way Democrats have sought to use religious institutions (especially the Reform movement) to bolster their campaign is that in doing so, they have reversed a position they vociferously defended in the past few presidential elections that held that any debate about Israel was itself out of bounds.\nIn 2004 and 2008 Republicans made an explicit pitch to Jewish voters that a sea change in American politics had created a new alignment in which the GOP had surpassed the Democrats in devotion to Israel. The response from Democrats was to assert that to even raise the question of a candidate\u2019s pro-Israel bona fides was to undermine that alliance. Given the overwhelming advantage they held among Jews and that Israel was the one issue on which Republicans had any traction, that effort to suppress discussion of the relative positions of John McCain and Barack Obama was disingenuous. But given that Obama (as John Kerry had four years before him) won the Jewish vote handily against a man with a better record on Israel, it may well have worked.\nBut after three years of constant fighting with Israel, the administration has been conducting a charm offensive determined to wipe out the memory of the sparring that preceded it. Whereas previously its position was one that sought to suppress discussion of Israel, now it knows that is impossible and is working hard to portray the president as an ardent ally of the Jewish state\u2014even if doing so requires some short-term memory loss.\nCynics may regard this change of tune with hilarity, but the willingness of Democrats to engage in this debate is still a good thing. The pro-Israel consensus is a bipartisan phenomenon, but the only way to preserve it is to make sure politicians are held accountable for their behavior. Put it down to pandering or the search for Jewish campaign donations, but there is little doubt Democrats are worried about the Jewish vote.\nThe GOP may claim there is every reason to believe that a re-elected President Obama will go back to Israel-bashing in 2013. But the fact that he was forced to spend over a year walking back previous disputes and altering his positions on the peace process (the Palestinians, who were never far from his thoughts previously, are never mentioned these days) and Iran (he is now on record as saying the U.S. will not attempt to \u201ccontain\u201d Tehran if it gets a nuclear weapon) have tilted the diplomatic playing field in Israel\u2019s direction after years of the opposite effect being manifested.\nThe voters are able to sort out these issues without filters, and if the polls are any indication, Obama may lose anywhere from 10 to 25 percent of the 78 percent of Jewish votes he won in 2008 anyway. Despite the previous cries of horror from Democrats about the issue being raised, and no matter what the results in November turn out to be, the Democrats\u2019 decision to counter-attack on the issue is good for Israel.\nClick photo to download.

Designed by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, with outstanding views of the McDowell Mountains, Four Peaks, Pinnacle Peak, Camelback, Red Mountain, and the Superstition Mountains, the \u2018treasure\u2019 is Talking Stick Golf Club with 36 holes of championship golf.\nLocated on and owned by the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community and managed by Arnold Palmer Golf Management, the club butts up to the Talking Stick Resort and Casino. For the purist of the game, this is a golfing experience you do not want to miss. Not one house is located near the courses, nothing but nature abounds during your round surrounded by mountain range views and grasslands on the links style North course.\nOur golfing experience was truly remarkable and we enjoyed every minute, especially with the high winds that day, making it a \u201cthinking man\u2019s course\u201d and a larger challenge. Challenging, yet fair, the greens putted true and held well, fairways were lush and the bunkering was thought provoking. It was easy to find trouble if you didn\u2019t spend some time on your golf course management. And, it\u2019s always nice to find a truly \u201cwomen friendly\u201d course. Don\u2019t think you\u2019ll be making up strokes on the par 3s though\u2026they are the longest ever and don\u2019t make life easy, however they are wonderful. It would be a fete to make or see a hole-in-one on one of these par 3s.\nThe Club offers the largest and most complete practice facility in the Valley along with private and group golf instruction. They are also the first Native American community to host a The First Tee facility in the state of Arizona.\nHole #2, par 5, 552 yards from the tips. By Mike Stockley \u2013 Offering more than just golf, the peaceful tranquility of this golf course allows you to take a step back and enjoy the nature of the course. This beautiful par five, with Pinnacle Peak and McDowell Mountains in the foreground, offers a great photo opp. Play down the left side of the fairway, but be careful it doesn\u2019t take much to end up out of bounds. Guess that\u2019s why they named it \u2018Boundary\u2019. The green is reachable in two with a great second shot. It\u2019s a fairly small and relatively flat green and with the right read you might end up with an eagle on your scorecard.\nHole #4, par 4, 433 yards from the tips. By Mike Stockley \u2013 This was my favorite hole, as well as the #1 handicap on the North Course. Great layout but doesn\u2019t offer many locations to play a safe tee shot. There\u2019s a large bunker that consumes the middle of the fairway, and can easily get you in trouble off the tee. It doesn\u2019t end there, if you\u2019re going for the green that is surrounded by sand bunkers. This hole is challenging but makes for a wonderful golf experience.\nHole #12, par 4, 392 yards from the tips. Teammates, Michael (or affectionately called \u201cTreeman\u201d) and David\u2019s favorite on the course. They call this \u201cThe Monster\u201d though it is rightly named the Red Mountain Gambler. Hard to imagine not being in trouble on this one, par is sooo good here.\nHole #13, par 4, 391 yards from the tips. Had to be our most exciting fairway of the day due to seeing six wild horses to the left of the fairway. An awesome sight to behold, then returning to fairway we noticed the largest Jack Rabbit any of us had ever seen. Instead of Dutchman\u2019s Trail maybe it should be renamed Wildlife Adventure. If you can keep your focus, you\u2019ll have a birdie opportunity on this slight dogleg right hole.\nThe staff is outstandingly eager to please and always smiling with impeccable service from the bag drop throughout the day. Timing was perfect on the course with our cart ladies always showing up exactly when needed.\nTalking Stick Golf Club has an elegant, yet casual, 26,000 sq. ft. clubhouse which houses the award winning, well appointed pro shop (make some extra time to explore it), locker rooms, private dining areas for groups and the Wildhorse Grille. Whether you are grabbing a bite to go or taking time for a leisurely lunch the food and ambience is excellent. Plus, hosting groups from 16 to 300 is one of their specialties, along with the wedding of your dreams.\nAt Talking Stick Golf Club, you are also moments away from experiencing all there is to do at the Talking Stick Resort. Recognized as a four-diamond resort in Scottsdale and known for providing nightly entertainment and music, the resort is a fantastic place to relax after your round of golf.\nSo, exactly what is a Talking Stick? The Talking Stick seen on their logo is a contemporary representation of the traditional O\u2019odham (Pima) calendar stick. Carvers would record significant events and milestones throughout the year for the tribe, with each carving symbolizing something significant for the area.\nMark your own Talking Stick calendar with a round or two at one of the most unique golf experiences in the Valley of the Sun. A true treasure to behold in the game of golf.\nTroon North Golf Club View Review Archive",

        "raw_content": "What Makes B2B ERP Different from B2C?\nBusiness to business works differently than what you might typically think of for a company. While your retail stores are focusing on selling straight to the consumer (B2C), a B2B company is concerned with selling to other businesses.\nB2B v. B2C\nThere are many differences between a B2B business and a B2C business. First of all, B2C usually has an easier time collecting payments. Typically, customers come into the store, they want to purchase an item, will pay for it on spot and then the product is sold. In B2B, the products being sold are usually purchased in large sums on terms. This means that the business will have to wait a longer time after the product has sold to receive payment.\nFurther, B2C businesses usually have an easier time managing inventory. They will make or order based on demand. However, some B2B businesses follow a make to engineer system and have a more difficult time planning demand. While other B2B businesses only fulfill orders when it comes in, which makes stocking and manufacturing more difficult.\nB2B ERP\nSince B2B models are so different from B2C models, it is clear the two will need different types of ERP systems to run efficiently. Below are 3 different functions of B2B ERP.\nSince B2B companies need to sell to other businesses on terms, rather than at the point of sale, there needs to strong accounting functions. The account receivable should be able to keep track of your days sales outstanding and help to keep track of what is still owed. There should be a general ledger function so you are not keeping track of everything in spreadsheets.\nB2B ERP needs to help companies plan their inventory and the future demand. Using real-time insights from sales orders and historical data, B2B ERP can tell you what exactly needs to be ordered or made so that you are not overproducing or missing out on sales.\nUnlike B2C sales, there are usually a lot of supporting documents that needs to be filled out and tracked in B2B sales, such as freight invoices, purchase orders, credit applications and so on. B2B ERP can keep track of these documents and automate the processes needed to fill them out. Further, it can create transparency when important documents are needed during an audit.\nB2B business models vary significantly than B2C, which is why they need two different systems to run them correctly. B2B ERP has strong accounting functions to manage the terms that sales are made on, strong supply chain management to plan inventory and the ability to track and automate all the supporting documents needed.\nOctober 29 | International Internet Day\nTHE HISTORY OF ERP",

        "raw_content": "So you want to eat better, improve your diet, lose weight and just feel better overall. Well it starts with what you consume. How we look and feel on the outside has a direct correlation to what\u2019s on the inside. If we consistently put \u201cgarbage\u201d inside, we will eventually look and feel like garbage on the outside\u2026.. that\u2019s not the goal!\nIf you want to be successful in any task or goal, you have to set your environment up for success. So let\u2019s create the nutritional environment that is most conducive to helping you EAT WELL!\nOne phrase that I live by is, \u201cif it\u2019s in the house, it\u2019s in my mouth!\u201d That means we need to \u201cPurge the Pantry\u201d and get out all of the junk so we don\u2019t put that junk in (our mouths).\nTake some time over the next few days to go through your pantry, refrigerator and freezer and assess what\u2019s in there. Most of us probably have things that are old and outdated way back in the back. And surprisingly, we often don\u2019t even know all that we have and or what we don\u2019t have\u2026..so take inventory!\nStart this inventory process by pulling out and separating foods into categories. For example, put all canned goods together or all \u201csnack foods\u201d together. Next, separate out all the foods that you want to eliminate from your diet. If your goal is to eliminate or decrease starchy carbohydrates, put all pastas, noodles, rice, breads, cereals and potatoes together.\nNow it\u2019s time to PURGE! Make sure you have a giant trash bag nearby because we\u2019re going to potentially be throwing out a lot. Get rid of anything that is not in line with your healthy goals. Don\u2019t look at it as throwing away money. You\u2019d much rather get rid of $5 worth of cookies than to put the unwanted sugar and calories into your body and portentially have to spend more health-wise down the line. You\u2019re worth it, your body is worth it, your health is worth it!\nNow doing this purge does not mean you have to eliminate all indulgences or treats. The point is to create an \u201cout of site, out of mind\u2026.out of mouth\u201d mentality around temptation and unhealthy foods. So if you want an ice cream treat, take a trip to Goodberry\u2019s, get a scoop, enjoy it and be done with it. Don\u2019t go to the grocery store and buy a big container of vanilla ice cream and bring it in the house. Remember the motto \u201cif it\u2019s in the house, it\u2019s (more likely) to be in your mouth\u201d.\nOnce everthing is cleaned out and thrown out, it\u2019s time to reorganize and restock. Let the majority of your pantry, refrigerator and freezer be filled with healthy foods and snacks.\nSet your healthy eating goal. Clean out and throw out. Restock. You\u2019ll be one step closer to making it happen!\nYou have ONE body, if YOU don\u2019t take care of it\u2026. Who will?\nBy Telese / Author on Feb 02, 2019",

        "title": "Colu: Keeping your cash local with a new digital wallet \u2013 East London",
        "raw_content": "In a world where independent trade is slowly dying out and in need of some help from its local community, Colu is bucking trends fast with its blockchain-powered platform for creating digital, localised currencies.\nRemember your favourite sandwich shop in the world? The one that used to sell you the most delicious roast chicken on bloomer topped with rocket and a drizzle of homemade mustard mayonnaise? Remember when they had to close down and they took a little piece of your heart with them? Then a big chain opened up in its place, full of automated pay systems and no soul. This is exactly what the people at Colu are trying to solve before it\u2019s too late and we say \u2018rock on!\u2019\nColu\u2019s digital wallet makes buying local easy, instantaneous and convenient. In paying with the Colu app, you guarantee that your cash will empower local businesses and facilitate a stronger, more sustainable local economy and community. Sounds pretty good right? For us at East LDN, it\u2019s the idea that every customer can play a role in preventing certain demonic high street retailers from crushing our favourite independents, that Colu allows us to protect our community, now that\u2019s the golden ticket. The company offers peer-to-peer and customer-to-business app-based payment platforms facilitating digital financial transactions at local businesses, creating a closed-loop economy that bolsters both the economic well-being and social fabric of the community.\nWill it work, you say? Well this isn\u2019t Colu\u2019s first rodeo. They already have several digital currencies in place outside of the UK, such as in Tel Aviv and have even provided access to their tech to a company in Barbados to create its own digital currency. Now, with close to 100,000 users and over 850 local businesses spending almost $4 million in the past year, it seems that Colu has got what it takes to continue this growth into London. As we know, local trade is hugely threatened by the scale and market penetration of low-cost of retail chains. These chains, although appealing to us shoppers at first glance, are doing considerable damage to local economies where the vast majority of the cash coming in, gets funnelled out to other parts of the corporation thus out of the city. Colu are working hard on their mission to reverse this effect and may have swept in just in time while local businesses in London are being hit by a severe, two-pronged economic attack. On one side, the rates reevaluation has taken a huge bite out of the margin that keeps these guys afloat, and on the other, Brexit speculation has lead to consumers spending less of their disposable income. Everyone can feel the squeeze, and we love that Colu are looking to restore the balance that keeps London what it is today.\nWe needed to do some digging. How does this work exactly? And is this really going to help independent traders? Well the answer is quite simply, yes. Colu charge businesses much less than they\u2019d be paying to the banks to carry out transactions, and these local traders have access to a whole new set of tools that help them to manage their operation too. To get to the bare bones, East LDN sat down with the Colu gang, seeking to know little bit more about the company, its inception and the bigger picture:\nWe think the idea is great! How did it come about and how did you get going?\nColu\u2019s founding mission was twofold: we wanted to give locals a way to directly exchange digital cash with each other and with merchants, and we wanted to support local, independent businesses. So, we created an app that makes it easy, fast, and convenient to shop and pay while doing something good for your community.\nThe company initially started in Israel, and we developed economies in Tel Aviv and Haifa. We expanded to the U.K. earlier this year, starting first in Liverpool and then in East London. All of our employees are locals, and we hire students from universities in the area as interns.\nIs the East London Pound just for East Londoners?\nOur focus, first and foremost, is to support local businesses. So while East London locals make up a large part of our community, we realise that East London\u2019s vibrant independent scene attracts Londoners from all over the city as well as tourists. We encourage them all to utilise our wallet to pay in East London Pounds. After all, everyone has a stake in the vitality of one of the city\u2019s most original destinations.\nWe know that Colu is a blockchain powered platform, but we\u2019re not quite sure what that means\u2026 care to elaborate?\nThe blockchain is essentially a digital ledger of transactions that is extremely safe and transparent. It\u2019s a decentralised system, which, in short, means it cannot be corrupted by hackers. Some of the technology is also open-source, so anyone can access and build on it. By open source, we mean that any developer out there can access our code and use it to issue their own currency. For example, this is what happened in Barbados, where a local startup used our technology to build a local digital banking system. We\u2019re using blockchain technology to create the digital equivalent of cash. Our technology facilitates direct exchanges of digital currency, creating a truly peer-to-peer economy.\nColu seems to be very community-focused. What are you doing to build community?\nWe believe that community is more important than money. By building community from the wallet up, we\u2019re re-infusing money with meaning and uniting people around the common cause of supporting the local economy. Money spent local, stays local -and as a result the community prospers. Small businesses are the backbone of the UK economy, and an investment in local businesses is really an investment in the residents of East London. By introducing the Local Pound, East London, we plan to change the way people think about money in the heart of the UK. We\u2019re also building community in other ways, for example, by facilitating collaborations between businesses and creating a local supply chain.\nWe love that you help independent retailers by giving them tools to use for free. What are these tools?\nFor us, encouraging more people to shop locally is just one side of the story. Helping independent businesses access advanced technological and financial tools is also extremely important to us. Colu provides local businesses with a digital toolbox to help them compete with large retailers. This includes marketing and promotional tools, microloans, advances, analytics and more. We also provide a business dashboard that could one day replace the need for point-of-sale systems. We\u2019re not there yet, but it\u2019s something we have set our sights on.\nCool! So why Liverpool and London?\nLiverpool and East London are ideal places in which to build a local, digital economy because they have a strong sense of identity and pride of place. Both communities also have many unique independent businesses and a bustling tech scene.\nWhat\u2019s the biggest problem you\u2019ve faced so far and how did you break through it?\nAt the beginning, onboarding local businesses was difficult. They were concerned that Colu would be more complicated to accept than it actually is, and because we only started with a small handful of businesses, business owners were skeptical. They\u2019re also regularly overwhelmed by salespeople approaching them for various reasons. However, we\u2019re all about building close relationships with our businesses. Once it became clear that we\u2019re invested in understanding our businesses and how we can best support them, rather than merely imposing our payment solution on them, these traders became open to the idea of using Colu and they realised that it\u2019s easy to use and chock-full of benefits. Adding well-established businesses to our community also encouraged other businesses to join.\nMost importantly, we\u2019re here for the long run. We\u2019re truly invested in the East London community. We have lots of things in the works, one of which is bringing about cryptocurrency for day-to-day usage. We plan to continue growing our network of local businesses and expanding to new areas. We\u2019re also focusing on creating a local supply chain to boost local trade between businesses.\nWow it seems like you\u2019ve got a load of good stuff going on and we\u2019re super excited that you\u2019ve brought it to our home, East London. Thanks for shedding light on your journey, and we look forward to getting on Colu straight away. Lunch anyone?\nRemember to sign up for Colu here and get 5 East London Pounds for free!\nWords by Tom Barker",

The paper introduces international commodity price changes derived from a world model into national Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) and microsimulation models for fifteen (15) Latin American countries to estimate how FTAA and WTO would affect sectoral output, employment, wages and poverty levels at the national level for each of the countries. We found that either of these two alternatives is expansionary for both output and employment in general and for agriculture in particular in most Latin American countries. WTO particularly favors the rural sector because the elimination of producer subsidies in developed countries causes a big increase in prices of all food commodities, especially on grains, dairy products and milk. As a result we found that in general, trade liberalizationreduced skill differentials, both within the urban sector, and where we had the information, between the rural and urban unskilled. Finally, the poverty microsimulation exercise showed that the poor are helped by either WTO or FTAA. Either version reduces poverty and inequality, and the changes are especially significant under the WTO. Clearly the rural poor pay a fairly heavy price for the producer subsidies in developed countries.\nSubject - keywords World Trade Organization (WTO)",

        "raw_content": "Together, a Santee combat veteran and amputee kitten make their way through life\u2019s struggles\nWar is quite simple. Either live or die every single day. You eat, you go on patrol, you get a couple hours of sleep, then it is rinse and repeat. There are no feelings, no communicating outside of your comfort zone, no paying this at this time, no having to go appease a person, cook this BBQ and put a smile on, please your wife or husband. People that have not lived it find complexity in war and simplicity in life. But for people like Karolyn Smith, this simplicity in life is not so simple.\nSmith joined the US Army almost a year after 9/11. Soon thereafter, she found herself with her unit, the 127th Police Company as a crew serve gunner. She was 29 and found herself on the battlefield on top of a military Humvee manning some of the Army\u2019s largest weapon systems, a job mainly manned by her male equivalents. During her tour she engaged in 300 combat controls facing mortar attacks, car bombings, roadside bombs, snipers and complex attacks. For Smith, survival mode became a way of life.\nOn September 7, 2004, her team leader Lt. Tim Price, while dismounted in Baghdad checking something out, a sniper shot him in the face and killed him.\n\u201cHe was right next to me,\u201d she said. \u201cIt changed everything. With him we felt like we were with Spiderman. We had been through so much and we came out kind of unscathed, so it was like you can\u2019t touch me. You began feeling the way a superhero portrays themselves\u2014untouchable. But the next day I went back into the machine gun and we didn\u2019t leave until April 2005.\u201d\nAs devastating as this was for Smith, things got worse. She got hit with a roadside bomb and at that time it was the 13th one. \u201cWe didn\u2019t know I was injured at that time because adrenaline does great things and I had been through bombings before and you knew you were going to be in pain because you just went through a bombing,\u201d she said.\nYet, Smith pressed on. After her tour, she joined the Military Police Reserve and spent the next eight years contracting in the high-risk security unit.\n\u201cSo I went into private contracting,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019ve been all over the world in 19 different countries doing high threat protection and successful in that industry. But you just don\u2019t realize that when you stick your head up, it\u2019s a decade later. I didn\u2019t realize that the PTS was making me highly successful in high threat contracting, but privately I was completely dysfunctional.\u201d\nIt was time for Smith to return to her home in Santee. Although her days on the battlefield were over, she never realized the battles that she would have to face in returning to civilian life. This time though, the attacks came from within. Her decade of living in survival mode would not leave her, the loss of her comrades plagued her and returning to a \u201cnormal\u201d life was something that she saw as unachievable.\n\u201cIt is different with women with PTSD than men in combat,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s hot, it\u2019s sexy, it\u2019s alluring to have a good looking dude come back and they are kind of aggressive and those things that come along with it, but it is disturbing when that same personality is a woman.\u201d\nSmith said for her, people were intimidated and could not figure out how to deal with her.\n\u201cAs a woman, everything that is cool about being a girl, you don\u2019t get to do anymore,\u201d she said. \u201cYou have to become hyper-aggressive, you need to be somewhat vengeful, but not in the normal since. When you are sitting behind a machine gun and engaging people that are trying to kill you, you think about the buddy that was killed right next to you, they might get five to 25 extra rounds. So when you come back here, nobody told us how to wind that backwards.\u201d\nLike many, Smith found herself in the Veterans Affairs trap, feeling abandoned. When she went to PTSD therapy it was standard dealing with exposure. It was not how does she become a relatively seemingly normal woman back in society when she has all of the characteristics of an alpha male.\n\u201cBut I\u2019m a female. Relationships were nearly impossible,\u201d she said. \u201cMainly because I know have this controlling factor to keep me alive and you don\u2019t realize what is going on because no one here is telling you that you are a crazy pants.\u201d\nSmith said it is imperative to get out of survival mode, not just for her, but also for the people that are around her because of the experiences that she faced. After the killing of Price, Smith said it just went crazy.\n\u201cI\u2019ve seen hundreds of kids killed, moms and dads and it was just continuous,\u201d she said. \u201cSo my need to ensure that everyone connected to me that I know exactly what you are doing, became an overwhelming controlling thing. That puts you into the crazy area and guys are like, \u2018I\u2019ll pass on that.\u2019 That becomes isolating. No one is telling you what is going on like a soundboard. They are just leaving. If they would have stopped and said, \u2018This is what\u2019s going on with you,\u2019 it would have been different. You can\u2019t see it from your perspective. From my perspective, I\u2019m saving you.\u201d\nSmith\u2019s mom said she could not wait for her to become her again and return to a normal life. But there was nothing happening in her life that was normal to the life she had before becoming a combat veteran and changing that frame of mind is nearly a impossibility, especially when dealing with physical, emotional and traumatic injuries. Smith said it was the \u201cher now\u201d that got her home alive so people have to acknowledge that this is the person you have to deal with now. Not only did Smith have to deal with learning to return to society as a functioning person, but she continuously had the battle of dealing with the VA that would just tell her that women were not in combat, and kept asking what happened to her to bring on the PTS. For six years her medical file said an IUD, as in female contraceptive, blew her up. She had a fractured L4, a slipped L5 and a herniated L5 for 11 years plus. She was in pain, but it was metastasized with cortisone injections, so now she has disc degeneration on top of all this, to the point that she is in constant severe pain.\nIn 2012 the VA put Smith on high dose opioids for four and a half years. She went to orthopedics and the guy said, \u201cYou must be in a lot of pain.\u201d He wanted to put her on aspirin, Motrin and 25 weeks of physical therapy. She had just completed 26 weeks of physical therapy while on high-dose opioids.\n\u201cI told him you can\u2019t just give me Advil and if you do this I am going to become part of the 22,\u201d she said. \u201cI have a high tolerance for pain, but I couldn\u2019t do this much longer. He just looked at me and said, \u2018What do you want me to do?\u2019 I realized then why the suicide rate among veterans was so high.\u201d\nIn a last ditch effort Smith decided to take all of the money that she made contracting and find her own orthopedic surgeon. She took to Facebook for help and asked for a highly experienced orthopedic doctor. A well known injured Marine told her to give him a call. He told her about a program UCLA called Operation Mend. It provides the newest technology with the best doctors on the west coast at no charge to the veteran.\n\u201cSo last year I got a biomorphagenic,\u201d she said. \u201cThe biotech is creating my own genetic bone back into my spine. After the surgery, the doctors took me off the opioids. They did a step-down process because I was addicted to them. That is how technology saved my life. I finally saw some help from becoming part of the 22.\u201d\nIt was then that Smith opened up Facebook and found Sophia. She thought she was the cutest thing on the planet. And Sophia has her own problems. She was rescued, found in a field with her umbilical cord wrapped around her rear leg just below the knee. She had spent more than a week alone with no feedings and a blood starved limb. The San Diego Humane Society amputated her leg and Sophia found herself trying to survive a surgery after such a traumatic beginning to life. Knowing she was is dire need of more than medical attention, the Humane Society, Leonidas, a forgotten Bengal kitten was place in the enclosure with Sophia. This saved Sophia\u2019s life as their bonding made them an inseparable pair. Leonidas was much larger than tiny Sophia and became her companion, caretaker and protector. So when the Humane Society decided to put them up for adoption, it was a double deal. Separating the two could lead to massive trauma for both of the unwanted kittens. When the Humane Society placed the pair on Facebook, it became a contest of who would become the guardians of this pair of kittens that had captured the attention of many in San Diego. Smith knew in her heart that she was the best fit for these kittens that the shelter named Sprinkles (Sophia) and Leprechaun (Leonidas).\n\u201cSophia was an amputee,\u201d said Smith, \u201cThat was not a problem. I have many friends that are amputees. But it was a tough competition. Everyone wanted her so I had my military friends slam the Humane Society\u2019s Facebook page letting them know that they could not be with anyone better than me, and I adopted them both. That\u2019s the \u201cbattle buddy\u201d story. It\u2019s the bonding, the perseverance that you have when you have two rather than just the one. And this is the focus of Smith\u2019s first children\u2019s book that she created \u201cSophia the Bionic Cat.\u201d\n\u201cAfter my surgeries, I wanted to help Sophia\u2019s structural problems,\u201d said Smith. \u201cI was thinking down the road five years and the problems that she might face. I would go to Toys R Us and pilfer through boxes looking for some kind of shoe, bootie, sock that would help. I did the same thing at Babies R Us and both thought I was crazy when they found out I was looking for a cat. I did some research and nobody had ever made a prosthetic for a cat.\u201d\nSo Smith reached out on Facebook for help with Sophia. That is where Fab Lab San Diego found her and offered her to bring Sophia down to see what they could do to help. Smith could see the design in her head, so she drew it out. Schools working with 3D printers wanting to see the prototype and see what they could do also reached out Smith. It is now in its fourth prototype stage because it is still not the right material, or the right size that Sophia can use it all of the time. Now, Smith works with the veterinarian who provides a medication that makes the limb a little numb so it is not agitating. But literally, if you take the size of your thumb that is the size all are working with in finding something that will work on a regular basis.\n\u201cSophia is so structurally small. She is 10 pounds compared to Leo\u2019s 22 pounds. It is exasperated because she didn\u2019t get any of those nutrients in her first 8 to 9 days of her life. She\u2019s kind of like a preemie. To make something it needs to be exceptionally light and flexible. Now we are trying a crisscross backpack that might help keep it on,\u201d said Smith.\nSmith was selected by Congressman Duncan Hunter\u2019s office for the Veteran of the Year for the 71st District. On July 22, 2014 in conjunction with Assemblyman Brian Jones, Smith was in Sacramento and recognized for her service as a combat veteran who served her country on and off the battlefield. It was Sgt. Karolyn Smith Day. This brought some validation to Smith as they recognized her role as a female in a high-risk combat zone, and her multiple injuries with a burnt respiratory system, PTS and minor Traumatic Brain Injury. A battle that she had been fighting with the VA. It also acknowledged her commitment to her community with her active involvement with many veteran organizations such as the Lakeside VFW, the Wounded Warrior Project, Veterans Village of San Diego and Team Red, White and Blue. She also partnered with the Santee Chamber of Commerce and City hall with the goal of lowering the veteran suicide rate by developing a peer-to-peer PTSD counseling program. Smith also volunteers at local elementary schools with its student-to soldiers events.\nSmith said from the first call from Hunter\u2019s office to her recognition at the capital with Jones gave her a dais that she had been looking for.\n\u201cThis recognition gave me a platform and validity, and streetwise credibility here in San Diego,\u201d she said. \u201cIt allowed me a voice. I am less than one-half of one-half of one-half of percent of women that were actually in combat. You don\u2019t find many female machine gunners. It\u2019s emotional. There were two other females that were crew gunners too, and one thing we were always concerned about privately was that nobody would know we were there.\u201d\nToday, although not all of Smith\u2019s battles are won, she said she is on a path that she loves and most of it centers on her love of Sophia and Leo and their comparative struggles in life. \u201cSophia the Bionic Cat\u201d has brought several opportunities her way. The Fleet Science Center called her and asked her to bring Sophia down and become a lecturer for 3D modeling. Smith found that public speaking was strength in her arsenal that she did not realize she had, and has become a regular part of her moving forward with her life.\nShe met General David Petraeus and he asked for her book for his grandchildren. This prompted her to start contacting foundations. Now her book is at the Lone Survivor\u2019s Foundation Retreat, the National Diabetes Foundation and she has already filmed a first episode with Animal Planet for a new show starring Jackson Galaxy, the cat behaviorist.\n\u201cFinally, I\u2019m going in the right direction. I want to turn this into a children\u2019s movie and a Saturday morning cartoon. I love adventures and I have the concept for that. I am learning how to transition between book, movie and cartoon,\u201d said Smith.\nSmith is already working on the second book. It will be more about Sophia\u2019s bionic adventures and how being different inspires people.\n\u201cThat\u2019s really what the concept of the book is. Whatever the issue is, you are bullied, have to live up to an older system, or have difficulty in school, it can be overcome,\u201d she said.\nSmith has more dreams down the road to conquest. She is turning non-profit and wants to create relationships with other non-profits that deal with childhood illnesses and disorders. Smith believes that this book and those that follow will work well within the public school system. She created 3 Paws Up Publishing and her goal is to have veterans and first responders to tell their stories through children\u2019s books. Every book will be based on a true story so it can fill libraries with true stories of people that kids can be inspired by. \u201cAll of these people would be real and that is where we need to draw inspiration from,\u201d said Smith.\nSmith is now back home and running stronger than ever. Born and raised in Santee she said she has no reason at this time to leave and her parents still live in the same house that she grew up in. But her direction is continuously changing, now for the better and Smith is determined to utilize all of the skills she has learned on and off the battlefield to make it easier for the next person that has to face the same obstacles that she is overcoming and to raise awareness both within the veteran and civilian people that she comes in contact with every day.\n\u201cSophia the Bionic Cat\u201d is available on Amazon and at Barnes & Noble. San Diego\u2019s own illustrator Jim Busike illustrates it. It is the true story of how this wounded combat veteran and a tiny amputee kitten found a way to fight unbeatable odds with love and technology.\nFor more information about Karolyn Smith, \u201cSophia the Bionic Cat,\u201d speaking engagements and how to contact her visit www.3pawsup.com.\nYou can also follow the adventures of Sophia on Facebook at www.facebook.com/SophiaTheBionicCat.",

        "raw_content": "The magical, soothing harp is an enchanting addition to weddings. Ed has been providing beautiful harp music for weddings for over ten years. He can provide music for the entire service, including the processionals and recessional, or just for specific segments, as required.\nMusic: Ed has an extensive repertoire of appropriate wedding music. Ordinarily, he meets with the couple beforehand so they can make the selections. If desired, Ed is happy to make the selections himself. Couples may also choose to select music from Ed's harp CDs: Weaving the Wind and One Star Awake.\nTo set the mood, Ed usually begins playing about a half hour before the service begins. He can then play the bridal party and brides's processionals (the music is original, written especially for weddings), during the signing of the register, and for the recessional. He is also happy to provide any additional music the couple may want - during the lighting of the unity candle etc.\nTechnical Requirements: For optimal sound it's best to play through the church's P.A. system. It's important that the microphone is free-standing, i.e., it can reach the harp strings. Microphones embedded in lecterns are clearly not appropriate. Most churches, however, have microphones on \"goose-necks\" or \"booms\", which work well for the harp. Some churches have cordless mikes. It's important to check on amplification before the big day. In rare cases, some small churches may not require any amplification.\nRehearsal: Ed does not ordinarily attend the rehearsal. However, the area where he will play should be decided at the rehearsal, and the microphone requirements (mentioned above) should also be addressed.\nReceptions: Because receptions are usually noisy, crowded affairs where the harp tends to get lost, Ed does not ordinarily play for receptions. He will, however, occasionally play for small, intimate receptions. Cost depends on the time involved.\nCost: The basic cost is $250 for wedding services taking place in the immediate St. John's area. The cost is the same no matter how much music is required. There will be an additional charge for travel outside St. John's. A deposit of $125 is required at the time of booking.",

They are seeing shifts in personal relationships, rising levels of exam stress and a decline in empathy and resilience.\n\u201cIt saddens me that recent research shows today\u2019s young Britons have never been unhappier. And while their mental health is declining, one in three children are now classed as obese by the time they leave primary school.\n\u201cThis crisis of the wellbeing of our children is as heart-breaking as it is alarming and needs to stop now.

        "raw_content": "Mikhal Pastukhou: there\u2019s an illusion that we are fine with constitutional legislation | Belarusian Legal Portal\nNo picket on Freedom Day in Orsha Belarusians were arrested for poster \u201cPutin hands out from Ukraine, no more war!\u201d\nMikhal Pastukhou: there\u2019s an illusion that we are fine with constitutional legislation\nOn March 15, 1994 the Supreme Soviet of Belarus adopted the Constitution of the Republic of Belarus. Former judge of the Constitutional Court of Belarus Mikhal Pastukhou tells our correspondent why today in Belarus numerous articles of the Basic Law are violated. (spelling \u2013 the primary source)\nLet\u2019s remind that the on November 24, 1996 a referendum was held, which have resulted adopting amendments to the current Constitution. According to them the president got a broad mandate \u2013 the right to dissolve parliament; assignment of Attorney General, Chairman of the National Bank, the Supreme and Constitutional Courts, half of the members of the Constitutional Court and the Central Election Commission, the third of the members of the Council of the Republic.\nIn 2004, another referendum was held, the results of which are new changes to the Constitution \u2013 the article that restricted the right of one person to occupy presidential post more than two terms was canceled.\nMikhal Pastukhou: As a former judge of the Constitutional Court I can say that the Constitution lately is more like fiction. It\u2019s a ghost constitution. It seems that it exists, but it does not. Some civil rights and freedoms enshrined in the Basic Law are simply unrealistic.\nPP: It happens that some issues decrees come in conflict with the Constitution \u2026\nMikhal Pastukhou: Yes, the Constitutional Court and other authorized entities do not raise the question of the constitutionality of decrees and presidential decrees, even if it is obvious that they are in conflict with the Constitution and violate the rights and freedoms of citizens. But the illusion is created that everything is just fine with the Constitution.\nIn my opinion, many of the documents, which are provided by the official leader of the country, do not fit the Constitution. They violate the rule of law. We must do everything within the limits of the authorities. We can, of course, say that the institution of the presidency did not fit such a framework, but\u2026 But it has led us to what we have now.\nPP: Which role is currently assigned to the Constitutional Court?\nMikhal Pastukhou: The Constitutional Court turned to the body of the Administration of the President. Judges are appointed by the President or with his consent, we almost did not see the criticism of facts and documents of the official leaders who violate the Constitution. We have seen it in the last example, when courts in Belarus merged on the basis of presidential acts. But everyone knows that if you want to have a union, you first have to amend the Constitution, and only then carry out some modernization. But we have not heard the position of the Constitutional Court on it. And it\u2019s sad\u2026\nKanstantsin Zablotski\nPhoto: eurobelarus.info",

        "raw_content": "Subject: Rain Water Harvesting and its Storage Thu Sep 22, 2011 10:07 pm\nRain water harvesting system is becoming one of the important amenities of all Kochi apartments . This system provides water for basic needs such as washing, bathing, drinking etc. There are concerns about the possible negative health effects of rain water utilization. Objections are raised regarding its use for washing clothes, personal hygiene and even for toilet flushing due to the probable risks of infection and allergic reactions. But long term investigations by the health offices in Hamburg and Bremen have showed positive results regarding the use of water for washing purposes and confirmed that the rainwater sources do not pose a health risk.\nThe storage facility for the collection of the rainwater can be of many types with respect to the shape, size and the material of construction. The shape can be cylindrical, rectangular or square. The material of construction used can be reinforced cement concrete, RCC, ferrocement, masonry, plastic (polyethylene) or metal (galvanized iron) sheets. The tanks can be constructed above ground, partly underground or fully underground depending on the available space. To ensure the quality of water stored in the container maintenance measures like cleaning and disinfection are required to be carried out.\nRainwater can also be used to recharge the ground water. It can be charged into the groundwater aquifiers through structures like dugwells, borewells, recharge trenches and recharge pits. Recharge structures are of various types like the ones which promote the percolation of water through strata at shallower depth while others conduct water to greater depths from where it joins the groundwater.",

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb News \u00bb Beijing Events Bolster Collaboration Between Yale and China\nBeijing Events Bolster\nCollaboration Between Yale and China\nThe Yale Center Beijing is providing the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies (F&ES) an opportunity to further develop its collaborations and partnerships in China, including strengthening the dual degree program with China\u2019s Tsinghua University that was launched last year.\nOn Oct. 20, 2015 at the Beijing center F&ES will hold a workshop on urban climate. This workshop addresses this twin challenge for cities: mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and local climate effects. The workshop brings together researchers and practitioners at the forefront of the science and solutions of urban climate mitigation. Panelists will explore potential solutions and gaps in the science, and seek scalable solutions. View the full agenda\nAlong with this engaging workshop, F&ES will host an alumni and prospective student reception on October 19.\nA hub for Yale\u2019s leadership development activities, the center has been designed with advanced technological capabilities to connect Beijing with New Haven and other locations around the world. Located in the Chaoyang District of China\u2019s capital, the 16,500-square-foot center serves as a convening space and intellectual hub for leaders, scholars, and students to pursue a wide range of issues affecting China, the United States, and the world, including healthcare, global warming, technology, the economy, and the arts. The center hosts a year-round series of workshops, meetings, classes, and other events developed by Yale schools and programs in collaboration with partners in China.\nToday, more international students at Yale come from China than any other country. Yale has also continued to grow the range of programs related to China over the past decade, including the China-Yale Advanced Leadership Program for University Presidents; the China-Yale Senior Government Leadership Programs; executive education programs for Chinese provincial and municipal environmental officials at F&ES; and the Law School\u2019s China Center.\nFor more information contact Maclovia Quintana\nWorkshop on Urban Climate: From Science to Solutions\nUrban areas account for more than 70 percent of global fossil fuel CO2 emissions. If the top 50 emitting cities were a single country, its emissions would rank third globally, behind China and the U.S. While cities contribute to a large percentage of global greenhouse gas emissions, they are also global hotspots: they modify their local climates and cities are prone to increasing temperatures. High temperatures in city centers increase risk and vulnerability of urban residents.\nA symposium being held in Beijing on Oct. 20 addresses this twin challenge for cities: mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and local climate effects. The event will bring together researchers and practitioners at the forefront of the science and solutions of urban climate mitigation and explore potential solutions and gaps in the science, and seek scalable solutions.\nWelcome and Check In 8:30 a.m.\u2013 9:00 a.m. Yale Center Beijing Lobby\nMorning Program 9:00 a.m. \u2013 12:15 p.m Yale Center Beijing Forum\nWelcome speech 9:00 a.m.-9:10 a.m. DAHE QIN \u79e6\u5927\u6cb3, Member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Chinese Meteorological Administration\nPanel Presentations 9:10 a.m. \u2013 10:40 a.m. Yale Center Beijing Forum\nThe state of the science on urbanization and urban climate\nChina\u2019s urbanization trends and the central government\u2019s agenda on urbanization\nZHIYUN OUYANG \u6b27\u9633\u5fd7\u4e91 , Professor and Deputy Director, Research Center for Eco-Environmental Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China\nReal-time monitoring of urban expansion in China\nJUN YANG \u6768\u519b , Associate Professor, Center for Earth System Science, Tsinghua University, China\nMitigating urban heat in a warming world\nMATEI GEORGESCU, Assistant Professor, Arizona State University, USA\nClimate and Carbon of Cities\nGALINA CHURKINA , Senior Fellow, Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies, Germany\nCoffee Break 10:40 a.m.\u2013 10:50 a.m.Yale Center Beijing Shen Commons\nPanel Discussion 10:50 a.m. \u2013 12:00 p.m. Yale Center Beijing Forum\nLunch 12:00 p.m. \u2013 1:00 p.m. Yale Center Beijing Shen Commons\nAfternoon Program 1:00 p.m. \u2013 4:30 p.m. Yale Center Beijing Forum\nPanel Presentations 1:00 p.m. \u2013 2:40 p.m. Yale Center Beijing Forum\n\u201cSolving Urban Climate Mitigation: Opportunities and Challenges for Practical and Scalable Solutions\u201d\nXIAOQIAN JIANG, Research Analyst, Greenhouse Gas Protocol, World Resources Institute, China\nPENGFEI XIE, Director, China Sustainable Cities Project, Natural Resources Defense Council, China\nPAUL PROCEE, Lead Urban Specialist, The World Bank, China\nKEJUN JIANG, Director, Energy Research Institute\nKARIN JANZ, Country Director, Institute for Sustainable Communities, China\nCoffee Break 2:40 p.m.\u2013 2:50 p.m.Yale Center Beijing Shen Commons\nPanel Discussion 2:50 p.m. \u2013 4:15 p.m. Yale Center Beijing Forum\nConcluding remarks 4:15 p.m. \u2013 4:30 p.m.Yale Center Beijing Forum\nSIR PETER CRANE, Dean, School of Forestry and Environmental Studies, Yale University, USA\nReception 5:00 p.m. Yale Center Beijing Shen Commons",

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb Sports and Recreation \u00bb Football \u00bb Robert \"Bobby\" Bowden\nBobby Bowden Official Website\nRobert \"Bobby\" Bowden\nC. J. Schexnayder, Dallas, Texas\nBirmingham native Robert Cleckler \"Bobby\" Bowden (1929- ) was one of the winningest head coaches in college football. Over 34 seasons, Bowden led the Florida State University (FSU) Seminoles to two national championships (1993 and 1999) and 12 Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) championships. His 377-129-4 career record ranks only behind Penn State's Joe Paterno in all time Football Bowl Series wins.\nBowden was born November 8, 1929, in Birmingham, Jefferson County, to Bob Pierce Bowden, a banker at First National Bank in Birmingham, and Sunset Clecker Bowden, a homemaker. He has one older sister. The family lived near Woodlawn High School, and as a child Bowden would watch the school football team practice with his father. Bowden was an active child and began playing football when he was nine. At age 13, he was stricken with rheumatic fever and spent almost a year bedridden. During this time, he listened to University of Alabama football games on the radio and became a Crimson Tide fan. The experience also inspired his lifelong devotion to his Baptist faith. Restricted from physical activity, Bowden learned to play trombone and joined the Woodlawn High School Orchestra. He also performed with a local jazz group, The Lee Jordan Band.\nWhen Bowden was 15, doctors declared that he had recovered sufficiently from his ailment to try out for the football team. An injury in the fall of 1946, however, ended his season and Bowden sat out a semester to have two years of eligibility left. Bowden played in the offensive backfield and in the defensive secondary for the Woodlawn Colonels in 1947 and 1948, earning All-State honors. Bowden graduated in January 1949 and entered the University of Alabama that spring. He practiced with the freshman team but left school after one semester and returned to Birmingham after marrying his high-school sweetheart Julia Ann Estock. The couple had six children. Sons Tommy, Terry, and Jeff would also coach college football.\nBobby Bowden, 1952\nIn the fall of 1949, Bowden enrolled at Howard College (present-day Samford University) in Birmingham and joined the football team. After three losing seasons, he became the team's quarterback as a senior. Bowden then lead the Howard Bulldogs to a 5-4 record in 1952 and was named a Little All-American, an award for the best players at the nation's small colleges. After graduating in 1953, he remained at Howard as an assistant football coach for two seasons. During this time, he also earned a master's degree in education at George Peabody College in Nashville. In 1955, Bowden took a head coaching job at South Georgia College, a junior college in Douglas, Georgia. In four seasons, he led the Tigers to a 22-11 record, won three Georgia junior college championships and was named the state's Junior College Coach of the Year in 1955 and 1957. Bowden also served as the school's athletic director and coached the basketball and baseball teams.\nWhen South Georgia College shuttered the football program after the 1958 season, Bowden returned to Birmingham to take over a struggling Howard football program. Bowden brought several South Georgia College players with him and transformed the team, posting a 9-1 record in 1959 with six shutouts. Howard then went 31-6 over the following four seasons. In 1963, Bowden took over as receivers coach for Florida State University and three years later became offensive coordinator at West Virginia University. He became head coach in 1970, and over the next five years the Mountaineers earned a 42-26 record including two bowl appearances, with a Peach Bowl win against North Carolina State.\nDespite his success at West Virginia, Bowden returned to Florida in 1976 to take over a lackluster Seminole program and proceeded to transform it into a college football powerhouse. In his first season as head coach, the team finished 5-6. It would be his only losing season in 33 years as the Seminole's head coach. Between 1987 and 2000, the Seminoles finished with 10 wins every season and finished in the top 5 of the Associated Press (AP) poll. In 1993, Florida State won the national championship with an 18-16 victory over the University of Nebraska in the Orange Bowl. That year, quarterback Charlie Ward became Florida State's first Heisman Trophy winner. Bowden's second national championship came in 1999 when he led the team to a 12-0 record and a 46-29 win over Virginia Tech in the Sugar Bowl. Quarterback Chris Weinke became the second of Bowden's players to win the Heisman Trophy, in 2000. Bowden's record suffered when FSU was forced to vacate 12 wins from the 2006 and 2007 seasons after the National Collegiate Athletic Association ruled the Seminoles had used academically ineligible players during those seasons. Bowden retired in 2009.\nDuring his tenure at FSU, Bowden was named the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year (1980), the Walter Camp Coach of the Year (1991), the ACC Head Coach of the Year (1993, 1997), and the Home Depot Coach of the Year (1996). He won the Amos Alonzo Stagg Award in 2011. He is the only coach in Football Bowl Subdivision history to compile 14 straight top-five finishes in the AP poll (1987-2000) and his 20-9-1 bowl record remains the second best all time. Since his retirement from coaching, Bowden has been a popular Christian speaker and motivational sports speaker. He has co-authored several books concerning his life as a coach and his faith.\nTwo national awards are named in his honor: The Bobby Bowden National Coach of the Year Award, presented by the Mountain Touchdown Club of Birmingham and the Bobby Bowden Athlete of the Year Award, presented by the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. The field of FSU's Doak S. Campbell Stadium was named Bobby Bowden Field in 2004. That same year, Bowden was honored with a statue of his likeness in the Les and Ruth Akers Plaza outside of the stadium. A statue of Bowden was dedicated outside of Samford's Seibert Stadium in 2013. Bowden is a member of the College Football Hall of Fame, the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame, the Florida Sports Hall of Fame, the Florida State University Hall of Fame, and the West Virginia University Hall of Fame. In 2006, Bowden received the National Football Foundation's highest award\u2014the Gold Medal.\nBowden, Bobby. Called to Coach: Reflections on Life, Faith, and Football.

        "raw_content": "International Muralist Paints Newgrange Lodge\nBy Caroline Cavanaugh\nReprinted from the Drogheda Independent, September 13, 2006\nMURALS depicting Meath's historic sites have been painted on the walls of the region's newest accommodation provider, The Newgrange Lodge, outside Donore village. A 3x3 meter map of Meath and Louth in oil paints and oil pastels, along with some historice sites and landscapes now adorns the hotel foyer walls, visible to all.\nThe artist Erin Langley is from Oakland, California, and was tracing her ancestors who hail from the north east. They are the de Lacys from Trim and Armagh, as well as Duffy, Dillon, Maloney, Donovan, and Collighan.\n\u201cSome left before the famine, others during and after,\u201d she explained. \u201cOur roots are Celtic. I would love to make contact with family members on this and future visits.\u201d\nErin indulged in her love of walking in the Boyne Valley, which also gave her artistic inspiration.\n\u201cI love the land and the people here. I've never met a friendlier culture,\u201d she said. \u201cThe land is so alive. The neolithic sites are incredibly magical. I am at home here.\u201d\nBack in the States, Erin is working on her Masters degree at Naropa University in Oakland, California, where she is studying \u201cthe indigenous mind\u201d--working to decolonize the mind and return to the understandings of our indigenous ancestors.\nErin painted the lodge during the summer months. Lodge owners Dave Harries and Leonard Kinsella both say they are thrilled with the result.\nFaraway Places Influence Artist's Unique Vision\nby Mary Maraghy\nReprinted from The Clay County Line, October 11, 2006\nThe Middleburg Native is pursuing studies about her tribal ancestors.\nPROFESSIONAL artist Erin Langley, who grew up in Middleburg, moved to Oakland, California to pursue graduate studies at Naropa University. Here, this 1998 graduate of St. Johns Country Day School is working on a Master's Degree in Indigenous Mind. The program is designed to help westerners reconnect with their tribal ancestors' way of life.\n\u201cIt involves connecting to nature,\u201d she said. \u201cSeeing myself in nature helps me see more clearly in general. Seeing clearly and rendering what I see is the key to good art.\u201d\nThe title of her thesis is \u201cReinstating the Role of Community Dreaming Using Traditional Protocol and Open Source Technology.\u201d The work calls society to return to the ancient practice of sharing their dreams and piecing them together to make adjustments for the sustained balance of one's culture.\nHer parents reminisce that when she was a toddler, she made three-dimensional pop-up greeting cards, and signed her Noah's ark picture twice to correspond with pairs of animals depicted.\nLangley visited her parents' home in Middleburg recently after a three-month ancestral journey to Ireland to research her Celtic culture. Celtic people, she said, were astronomers who devised amazing calendars. They were great craftsmen and warriors, fierce, brave, and hot-headed.\n\u201cI learned that I have a home and it is in Ireland. As soon as I stepped off the plane, I could feel it. It's as though my bones are made of the place.\u201d\nWhile in Ireland, the owners of the hostel she stayed in hired her to paint a mural on a lodge wall. The map of historic places was featured recently in the Drogheda Independent newspaper in County Meath.\nLangley works as a commissioned artist in San Francisco, having trained under muralist Lynne Rutter. Langley has also taught indigenous science and nature-based math in California high schools.\nAt her parents' home recently, paintings and drawings lined her childhood bedroom. Her favorite media are acrylics, oil pastel, and oil paints. She picked up a beach ball sized sculpture.\n\u201cSculptures of Platonic solids,\u201d she explains as though it were an everyday household item.\nHer grandmother, Ellie Waldron, who lives and works in Fleming Island, beams with pride when discussing her granddaughter.\n\u201cShe has a God-given gift in art. She's traveled and studied and researched. If she has an interest in something, she delves in deeply. She's just an absolutely tremendous person, extraordinary in every sense of the word,\u201d Waldron said. \u201cShe wants to impact lives and make the world a better place.\u201d\nErin Langley's Platonic solid scuplture\nAll Artwork \u00a92007 by Erin Langley\nWebsite Design \u00a92007 by Julia D.

        "raw_content": "A long time ago, the average Unix systems manager didn't have to worry much about scripting languages other than the Bourne shell and awk. Shell scripts (discussed in Chapter 7) continue to be an important part of Unix, but as stated earlier, awk has faded somewhat from the scripting arena. However, many powerful successors have arrived, and many systems programs have actually switched from C to scripting languages (such as the sensible version of the whois program). Let's look at some scripting basics.\nThe very first thing that you need to know about any scripting language is that the first line of a script looks similar to a Bourne shell script. For example, a Perl script starts out like this:\nIn Unix, any executable text file that starts with #! is a script. The pathname following this prefix is the scripting language interpreter executable. When Unix tries to run an executable file that starts with #!, it runs the program following the #!, and then sends the script file to the new program's standard input. Therefore, even this is a script:\n#!/bin/tail +2\nThis program prints this line...\nand this line, too.\nThe first line of a shell script often contains one of the most common basic script problems \u2014 an invalid path to the scripting language interpreter. Let's say that you named the previous script myscript. Now, what if tail were actually in /usr/bin on your system (not /bin)? When you tried to run myscript, you would get this error:\nmyscript: No such file or directory\nMost Unix error messages aren't confusing, misleading, or otherwise incomplete, but this one certainly qualifies on all three counts. First of all, myscript does exist \u2014 you can see it right in front of your eyes with ls. Is there a problem with your filesystem? No. The system really meant to say that it couldn't find /bin/tail, but it just had a small communication breakdown.\nThe worst case occurs when a script is in some system binary directory. You can locate the script with a utility like which or find, and you think that the program is in your path, yet you get that error message. The only real clue you have is the error message: \"No such file or directory.\" If the script were actually missing from your path, the error message would be \"command not found.\"\nAnother script \"gotcha\" is that you shouldn't expect any more than one argument in the script's first line to work. That is, the +2 in the preceding example may work, but if you add another argument, the system might decide to treat the +2 and the new argument as one big argument, spaces and all. This can vary from system to system; don't test your patience on something as insignificant as this.\nThe most important third-party Unix scripting language today is Perl \u2014 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction and Report Language. This tool has been called the \"Swiss Army Chainsaw\" of programming tools, and it is capable of an incredible variety of tasks, from networking to database access. It excels at text processing, conversion, and file manipulation.\nIt's hard to describe what Perl code looks like; it's kind of like an imperative-style mix of C, Bourne shell, sed, awk, LISP, and others. It can be a little hairy (using every single special character on your keyboard), but it is as fast and powerful as it is ugly. If you want to be on top of your Unix system, you need to know a little bit of this language. Have a look at Learning Perl [Schwartz] for a tutorial-style introduction; the larger reference is Programming Perl [Wall]. Getting a grasp of Perl is well worth it, not just because you will be able to do remarkable things with text files, but also because many of the concepts (such as associative arrays) carry over to other scripting languages.\nNearly all Unix and Linux systems in the world have Perl installed somewhere. Most administrators maintain it as /usr/bin/perl, even if they insist on keeping all other third-party software away from /usr. There is extensive online documentation in the manual pages; the perl(1) page has an index of the other pages.\nIf you're having trouble with a Perl script, here are some suggestions:\nLook at it to see if you can tell when the script was written. It might require a newer version of Perl than you have.\nIf it's an old script, you may have to put backslashes in front of the @ characters in strings and comments.\nIt might require a module that you do not have (in particular, a database module).\nWhen all else fails, run perl -w script to turn on warning mode.\nPython is a newer scripting language with a fairly strong following, enough to make it the implementation language for packages such as GNU Mailman. It offers many of the same system features as Perl, but it has a powerful interactive mode and a somewhat more organized object model.\nPython's executable is python, but there's no telling where it is on your system. Therefore, when you get a Python program, you may have to modify the first line in the script to match your Python installation.\nAlthough it was written for slightly older versions, Python Essential Reference [Beazley] is a good reference with a small tutorial at the beginning to get you started.\n8.4.3 Other Scripting Languages\nThere are some other scripting languages that you might encounter:\nPHP This is a powerful hypertext processing language often found in dynamic Web scripts. Some people use PHP for stand-alone scripts. The PHP Web site is at http://www.php.net/.\nTcl Tcl (tool command language) is a simple scripting language usually associated with the Tk graphical user interface toolkit and Expect, an automation utility. Although Tcl does not enjoy the wide-spread use that it once did, you should not discount its power. Many veteran developers prefer Tcl, especially for its embedded capabilities. Refer to http://www.tcl.tk/ for more information on Tcl.\nm4 This is a macro processing language.\nRuby Object-oriented fanatics enjoy programming in this language (http://www.ruby-lang.org/).\nMatlab This is a commercial matrix and mathematical programming language and library. There is a very similar open source project called octave.\nMathematica, Maple These are more commercial mathematical programming languages with libraries.",

This information will, among other things, include the type of border, the border regime and responsible border authorities, information on the influx of migrants, relevant legislation and case law, public opinion polls, and information on relevant key events.\nBoth European Union and Schengen Area members\nOnly European Union members\nOnly Schengen Area members\nWhen researching borders, border mobilities and the management thereof in the European context, it is important to have an understanding of what the European Union and the Schengen Agreement entail.\nThe European Union is a unique economic and political union between 28 European countries. What began as a purely economic union has evolved into an organisation encompassing numerous policy areas, from climate change, the environment and healthcare, to external relations and security, justice, and migration. EU policies aim to ensure the free movement of people, goods, services and capital, to enact legislation in justice and home affairs, and to maintain common policies on trade, agriculture, fisheries, and regional development.\nThe Schengen Area is an area comprising 26 European countries (including EU and non-EU states) that have abolished passport and any other type of border control at their common borders. In other words, Schengen countries have removed internal borders and barriers to free movement. These internal borders may be crossed without being subjected to border checks. However, the competent national authorities can still carry out police checks at internal borders and in border areas, provided that such checks are not equated to border checks. This means that police checks cannot have border control as an objective. They must be carried out at random and for limited periods of time. Under such circumstances, the police may, for example, ask you to identify yourself or pose questions regarding your stay, depending on the purpose of the check. If there is a serious threat to public safety or internal security, a Schengen country may, in exceptional circumstances, temporarily reintroduce border controls at its internal borders for, in principle, a limited period of no more than 30 days.",

        "raw_content": "Olympic Collision\nMary Decker, Zola Budd and \u201cThe Fall\u201d re-visited.\nThe women\u2019s 3,000 meter race was the most hyped event at the 1984 summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles\u2014an event which took an unexpected, dramatic turn when hometown hero Mary Decker fell after making contact with Zola Budd with three laps to go. \u201cIf you mention Zola Budd\u2019s name today, most people will say, \u2018Oh yeah, Zola Budd, the girl who tripped Mary Decker,\u2019 offers Kyle Keiderling, author of Olympic Collision: The Story of Mary Decker and Zola Budd (University of Nebraska Press). In part that\u2019s because the immediate reaction of ABC-TV commentator Marty Liquori was that Budd was responsible for the fall. \u201cMy initial call was wrong,\u201d he said the day after the race. \u201cI thought Zola moved in, but she didn\u2019t.\u201d\nIn \u201cOlympic Collision,\u201d Keiderling recounts what happened during the infamous race, while also following Decker and Budd through their lives, which have been more alike than one might expect. In the following Failure interview, Keiderling discusses the running careers of both Decker and Budd, and explains how and why Budd represented Great Britain in the \u201984 Olympics, despite being a native South African. He also reveals what other competitors in the race had to say when he interviewed them about the incident, which is also the subject of a well-received 2016 documentary titled The Fall, directed by Dan Gordon.\nThe Mary Decker-Zola Budd collision is one of the most famous moments in Olympic history. What prompted you to write a book about it?\nLike everyone else, I recall watching the race and the impact it had. ABC was bound and determined\u2014as were the print media\u2014to make the race the premier event of the Games. It had all the elements that Hollywood needed. It featured Mary Decker, the hometown girl who had started her career in southern California. By the time Decker was 14 she had run further and faster than anyone had at that age. The media loved her; she made great copy.\nIt\u2019s interesting how Decker repeatedly missed out on competing in the Olympics. What happened in 1972, \u201976 and \u201980 that kept her from competing until 1984?\nIn 1972 she was too young [13 at the cutoff date], despite the fact that she had the fastest mile time in the country that year. When the 1976 Games came along she was injured. In 1980 the U.S. boycotted the Moscow Games. In 1984 she finally got her chance to win a gold medal; she had won everything else she could possibly win. It was supposed to be the coronation of Queen Mary. Of course, it didn\u2019t end well for her.\nWhy did Decker run just one race\u2014the 3,000 meters\u2014at the \u201984 Olympics?\nShe qualified in the 1,500 and 3,000 but had a slight injury and there wasn\u2019t much time between races. One thing about Decker that people don\u2019t really know is that during her career she had more than 30 surgeries. She was either setting world records or she was hobbled. And that was part of her appeal; she was a soap opera story. Anyway, the decision was that competing in both events would not allow her sufficient recovery time. She decided to concentrate on the 3,000 meters.\nHow did the childhoods of both Decker and Budd influence their running careers?\nBoth grew up in dysfunctional families, both were estranged from their fathers, both used early emotional trauma as the prime motivation for running, both would eventually be banned by the international governing body of their sport (though for very different reasons), and both employed the same running style, always running from the front. These two women were eight years and eight-thousand miles apart but had very similar lives and their careers followed almost parallel paths until they intersected at the Los Angeles Games. As a result, they are drawn together in our collective minds forever.\nHow did being from South Africa, with its politics, affect Budd\u2019s career?\nBudd grew up on a small farm outside Bloemfontein in South Africa and led a very sheltered life. When she was born her mother was in labor for something like 36 hours; hospital staffers didn\u2019t expect her to live and called her \u201cthe miracle baby.\u201d Her mother never recovered fully and she was raised by an older sister named Jenny, who was 11 years older. It was Jenny that taught her to run. But when Jenny was in her early twenties she underwent routine surgery and complications set in and she died. The loss of Jenny hit Budd very hard; it still causes her to tear up when she talks about her sister.\nAnyway, Budd decided she was going to run for Jenny and that\u2019s how her career started. South Africa, at the time, was a nation with a government policy of apartheid, which made the country a pariah in the eyes of the world. They were outcasts from the community of nations and couldn\u2019t compete in any international competitions. So Budd\u2019s early career\u2014up until she was 17 years old\u2014was confined to South Africa. However, it was the most spectacular career any athlete had in South Africa and she was\u2014from the time she was 15 or 16\u2014basically running against the clock. There wasn\u2019t anyone in South Africa who could run with her. In January 1984 she ran a 5,000 meter race in Stellenbosch and shattered Decker\u2019s world record by more than six seconds.\nBut Budd\u2019s father looked at his daughter and saw a commodity that he could convert to cash. The Daily Mail, a newspaper in England, had picked up the story that this barefoot 17-year-old had set a new world record for 5,000 meters and some of the more observant sports writers there passed the news along and found out that\u2014lo and behold\u2014Budd\u2019s grandfather was a British citizen, which made her eligible for British citizenship. Ultimately, her father sold \u2018the life story of Zola Budd\u2019 to the Daily Mail for \u00a3100,000, which brought her to England. She was spirited out of the country in the middle of the night because they were so afraid of the reaction in South Africa. When Budd packed her things and turned to leave her room the last thing she saw when she turned the light out was the poster on her wall above her bed\u2014a poster of her idol, Mary Decker. When Budd got off the plane in England she stepped into bedlam. Not even old enough to vote, she became the target of the anti-apartheid lobby in Great Britain. They put a target on her back and she was picketed and spat upon and called a racist. Her races were interrupted by protesters. She was pretty much a prisoner, too, as the Daily Mail had exclusive rights and didn\u2019t want anybody else talking to her. They rented her a place and locked her up without a friend in sight, and that\u2019s how she lived when preparing for the Olympics.\nThe only thing people remember about the 3,000 meter race at the \u201984 Olympics is Mary Decker\u2019s fall. Remind readers what happened.\nIt\u2019s hard to fault ABC for the way they covered the race; it made a great story. Then this unforeseen incident occurs and their cameras focus on Decker, while the race is continuing for several more laps. Marty Liquori, a great American miler, was providing commentary and Liquori said he thought Budd had maybe cut in a little too early. But if you look at the video you\u2019ll see that Decker ran into Budd from behind, once prior to the incident and then eight or ten strides later, this time losing her balance and falling. In falling, she reached out and ripped Budd\u2019s number off her back.\nI interviewed all the women in the race except Decker [who didn\u2019t respond to repeated requests for an interview], and they all told me it was Decker\u2019s fault. Several of the women voluntarily told me that they thought Decker didn\u2019t get up because she knew she was going to get beaten and just couldn\u2019t take it. One of them told me that when Budd took the lead and assumed the pace setting position in front that Decker just kind of gave up, and that maybe it was her way of not losing.\nTo be perfectly honest, if you look at the times of the women in the race, Maricica Puic\u0103 of Romania had the fastest time in the world that year and was the favorite. But she was surrounded by the Romanian Secret Police and didn\u2019t speak English so nobody interviewed her and she was largely ignored instead of being touted as the woman to beat. So there were great expectations for Decker, which she may or may not have been able to fulfill had she not fallen.\nHow did things unfold in the immediate aftermath of the incident?\nAs the race continued, Decker was weeping and wailing in the infield, and with America\u2019s sweetheart out of the race the booing started. She told me she had the ability to dissociate from what was going on around her; it was the only way she was able to survive the four months in Great Britain. But now she was leading the race and as she ran around the track with the boos cascading down she felt her reservoir run dry. She knew if she continued to run and won a medal she would have to get on the medal stand, and once she got there the boos would rain down again. So she slowed down and ended up finishing sixth or seventh.\nBut it wasn\u2019t over for Budd. She tried to approach Decker after the race and Mary brushed her off, which made Budd even more despondent. Then after getting treatment for the spike marks in her Achilles, police officers arrived and said they had received death threats. They gave her a police escort to LAX.\nDecker, on the other hand, went on to hold a news conference. The room was overflowing with reporters from all over the world wanting to know what happened. And Decker didn\u2019t walk in; she was carried in and placed in a chair. She blamed the entire incident on Budd. It was at the press conference that the deconstruction of Queen Mary began. Her handling of the incident was about as bad as you can imagine. Once that televised press conference was held she was no longer America\u2019s sweetheart, she was just a bad loser.\nIt\u2019s hard to fathom that neither Decker nor Budd ever won an Olympic medal.\nThat is really hard to understand. At one point or another, Decker held every single American record from 800 meters to 10,000 meters, and both women were two-time world champions and multiple world record holders. Interestingly, Budd still runs every day and competes in marathons, half-marathons and ultra-marathons. She has a bumper stick on her car that says, \u201cRunning: cheaper than therapy.\u201d",

        "title": "Crude Nation: How Oil Riches Ruined Venezuela book review - Failure magazine",
        "raw_content": "How Oil Riches Ruined Venezuela, Ra\u00fal Gallegos, Potomac Books.\n\u201cHistory is littered with examples of strange economic happenings, but they occur mostly in places suffering bouts of high inflation, usually in countries at war. In a Venezuela that has been at peace for decades, something turned the country\u2019s economy on its head and kept it there.\u201d So writes Ra\u00fal Gallegos in \u201cCrude Nation,\u201d a book-length look at \u201cthe world\u2019s craziest economy,\u201d one which inspires its citizens to spend their money as quickly as they can, as the bolivar has been losing value for years on end and is now virtually worthless against the world\u2019s major currencies.\nOne of the things that makes the Venezuelan economy so strange\u2014and so fascinating\u2014is that \u201cin recent years, the country\u2019s government earned roughly $100 billion annually from oil sales,\u201d notes the author. Yet it doesn\u2019t have the money to invest in its oil sector, and the Venezuelan people suffer from a chronic scarcity of food and consumer goods, including many products that most Americans take for granted, like toilet paper and diapers.\nIt\u2019s important to note that Venezuela\u2014found twenty-seven hundred miles south of the U.S. border in the northernmost part of South America\u2014controls the largest proved oil reserves in the world, almost 300 billion barrels. Know too that oil is relatively inexpensive to produce in Venezuela; with oil readily accessible, exploration costs are minimal. Consider that the country\u2019s oldest field, Lagunillas, discovered in 1913, could provide sixty-two more years of oil at current production rates, while the Cerro Negro field, discovered in 1979, could continue delivering 431,000 barrels a day for another 767 years. Yet as Gallegos reveals, the Venezuelan government has mismanaged the country\u2019s oil money, using it to subsidize social programs and foster voter support, which has led to hyperinflation.\nAs a result, Venezuelans display decidedly strange economic behavior, which Gallegos witnessed firsthand during his stint as a Caracas-based reporter for Dow Jones Newswires and The Wall Street Journal. In fact, Gallegos experienced the oddball economic effects himself, noting that during the years he lived in the country, his rent got cheaper every month. His was not an isolated case; in the book he relates the experience of a Venezuelan attorney who purchased an apartment in an attractive neighborhood in the capital in 2008; eight years later the money said attorney spent to buy the apartment would barely cover the cost of an Apple iPhone 6, and his current mortgage payments are worth \u201cabout the cost of a cab ride to the airport.\u201d Yet the protagonist in the story has little incentive to pay off his mortgage early, because the loan payments effectively cost him less and less every month.\n\u201cVenezuelans have learned to prize fleeting things such as physical beauty, cars, and flashy consumer goods today, because they may not have them tomorrow,\u201d explains the author, noting that beauty salons and plastic surgeons do a reliably brisk business, even in the face of economic crisis. Venezuelans \u201cspen[d] their money as quickly as they [can] on pretty much any consumer good\u2014a television, an air-conditioning unit, brand-name clothes\u2014saving nothing,\u201d continues Gallegos. \u201cThey eagerly [take out] any loan a bank [is] willing to extend, almost regardless of the interest rate charged. For decades, Venezuelans have been brought up to think that saving money in a bank is the fastest way to lose it.\u201d\nGallegos does a fine job of relating how the Venezuelan economy works, which isn\u2019t as easy as one might think. Consider that a commodity can actually have four different prices (you\u2019ll have to read the book to learn why), which results in the cost of living in Venezuela being among the cheapest and most expensive in the world\u2014at the same time. He also explains: how what you pay may be determined by who you are and what you do for a living; how the value of used cars rises over time; and why a full tank of gasoline can be had for mere pocket change, among other oddities.\nNotably, Gallegos devotes the lion\u2019s share of one chapter to the nation\u2019s chronic shortage of toilet paper, and also highlights the government\u2019s frustration with \u201cnervous purchases,\u201d where citizens attempt to buy as much as they can, when they can, because they don\u2019t know when they will see, say, toilet paper, again. The scarcity of select products has led countless Venezuelans to abandon their day jobs to work as <i>bachaqueros</i>, who do nothing more than acquire and re-sell scarce goods at a hefty markup.\nThe author also does an admirable job of recounting the country\u2019s century-long oil history, part of the buildup to the final chapter, in which Gallegos addresses the measures Venezuela could and would need to take to get hyperinflation under control and stabilize the economy, measures that could include following in the footsteps of Zimbabwe and Ecuador, both of which have adopted the U.S. dollar as currency.\nIt\u2019s clear though that policy changes alone won\u2019t be enough to stabilize the Venezuelan economy. For one, Venezuelan citizens will need to break their addiction to spending and learn to spend and save responsibly.\n\u201cGiving Venezuelans a compulsory and basic economic education is of paramount importance,\u201d begins Gallegos. \u201cThe country will continue to make the same mistakes of the past century if people lack the basic understanding of the way money works and the problems that have shaped Venezuela into what it is today,\u201d he offers.\nAt this point one wonders if the country\u2019s ever-increasing economic pain will ultimately motivate the government to change its approach\u2014and the populace to change its behavior. If not, Venezuela\u2019s economic future looks bleak\u2014or, bleaker than it already is.\n\u201cNo amount of money has ever been enough for Venezuela to become a stable, well-managed country,\u201d concludes Gallegos. \u201cNo amount of money has helped Venezuela consistently reduce poverty. In fact it often seems as if the more money Venezuela earns, the worse off it becomes. Venezuela has become a country with no future that lives only in the present.\u201d\nThe Aisles Have Eyes\u2014How Retailers Track Your Shopping, Strip Your Privacy, and Define Your Power, Joseph Turow, Yale University Press.",

        "raw_content": "Colgan Air, Buffalo\nOne day after the NTSB wrapped up a three-day public hearing highlighting its investigation into the crash of Colgan Airlines Flight 3407, the same airline, flying the same type of plane, on the same route, crash landed in Buffalo.\nIt hasn\u2019t been a good year for Colgan Airlines. On Tuesday, just a day after the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) wrapped up a three-day public hearing to highlight its investigation of the February 12 crash of Colgan Flight 3407, one of its planes crash-landed in Buffalo. Coincidentally, the May 12 incident involved the same type of plane (a Q400 Bombardier turboprop), flying the same route (Newark to Buffalo), and the same destination airport (Buffalo Niagara International). Worst of all for Colgan (but ideal for NTSB investigators), is the fact that one of the passengers on board Flight 3268 happened to be taping the landing, and captured the failure of the landing gear on video. (According to the Toronto Sun, the plane involved in this latest incident is already back in service, hardly a comforting thought for Colgan Air customers.)\nAbsent from U.S. media coverage of the most recent Colgan Air incident is that Q400 Bombardier Dash-8 turboprops have a history of landing gear malfunctions. On September 9, 2007, a Scandinavian Airlines Q400 crashed and caught fire (Aalborg, Denmark), after its right-side landing gear failed. Three days later, the landing gear of another Q400 collapsed after the plane touched down in Vilnius, Lithuania. Finally, on October 27, 2007, at the tail end of an SAS flight from Bergen, Norway, to Copenhagen, the landing gear of a Q400 failed to extend fully, resulting in yet another crash landing. (SAS subsequently decided to stop flying Q400 Bombardier turboprops, citing \u201cdiminished confidence\u201d in the aircraft.)\nMicronesia loses to Vanuatu 46-0; outscored 114-0 at Pacific Games\u2014\u201cIt was boys against men,\u201d Micronesia coach Stan Foster said after Vanuatu defeated his side, 46-0.\nFailed Bank List 2013\u2014The 24th and final bank failure of 2013 occurred on December 13.",

We come together to celebrate the furry fandom, which includes art, literature and performances based around anthropomorphic animals. The origins of Midwest FurFest lie in the furry programming track of Duckon, an annual science fiction convention based out of Chicago. The furry track of the convention began to grow so large, that we were soon able to support our own convention. In 1999, Midwest Furry Fandom, Inc., was created as a 501(c)3 (non-profit corporation); one year later, Midwest Furfest was born. The first convention took place the weekend before Thanksgiving, which became a traditional weekend up until last year. Since 2000, the convention has grown from 388 attendees to 4,571 attendees in 2014, making it the second largest furry convention in the world. We are proud to have risen over $230,000 for various wildlife and animal related charities. Additionally, the Midwest Furfest Art Show generates over $10,000 each year for the talented artists of furry fandom through auctions, donations, and benefits. 2015 will mark the 16th anniversary of Midwest FurFest. We look forward to bringing you an exciting weekend with some of the best authors, costumers, and artists in furry fandom.

        "title": "FIA - Insurance claims due to violent protests and riots up by almost 31%",
        "raw_content": "Insurance May 11, 2018\nInsurance claims due to violent protests and riots up by almost 31%\nArticle by Hussain Bhikhoo\nAON is a leading global professional services firm providing a broad range of risk, retirement and health solution. In the press release below, Client Manager of Aon South Africa, Hussain Bhikhoo discusses asset insurance and to why it is important for business owners and individuals to have Sasria cover included for special risks such as any form of riot, strike or public disorder, any attempt to perform any of these acts and the action taken by authorities to control or prevent these from occurring.\nFIA 2018 national partner, Sasria is the only insurer permitted to provide such cover In South Africa, for the damage caused during these kinds of incidents.\nSasria cover essential on underlying assets insurance policy\nNot a day seems to go by without news of a violent protest erupting somewhere across South \u2013 reports of violence, looting, burning and destruction have become regular occurrences, with many businesses and private individuals left with the devastating consequences and financial losses. Since the beginning of 2017, South Africa has experienced thousands of violent protests and riots across the country, many spurred on by service delivery failures, corruption and growing youth unemployment \u2013 and all exacerbated by criminal elements.\nAon South Africa says it is crucial for business owners and individuals to review their assets insurance policies and ensure that they have Sasria cover included for special risks.\n\u201cWithout Sasria cover, businesses and private individuals caught in the cross-hairs of violent protests and riot action, run the risk of significant losses. Standard insurance policies available through private sector insurers do not provide cover for damage to assets as a result of these types of events as they are precluded from underwriting these risks. Cover is only available through Sasria SOC Limited,\u201d explains Hussain Bhikhoo, Client Manager at Aon South Africa.\nAccording to Sasria\u2019s 2017 Integrated report, in the financial year ending 31 March 2017, Sasria paid net insurance claims with a total value of R766 million, up by 30.8% on the previous year with a marked increase in claims severity. The number of claims increased by 22% and the severity increased by 29%. The biggest drivers remain service delivery related and university student protests (approximately R325 million).\n\u201cBoth businesses and consumers need to consult with their brokers and insurers to ascertain whether their insurance coverage has been extended to cover Sasria perils. As a matter of course, clients should be offered this type of cover when discussing their business or personal insurance requirements as this presents a significant risk to both consumers and business owners who could find themselves severely out of pocket if their assets and goods in transit were damaged during a violent protest. In most cases, home and business properties and vehicles are typically bank-financed. If the property or vehicle is burnt or demolished during a strike and you don\u2019t have SASRIA cover, you will still be liable for your bank loan repayments in addition to the cost of the damages. Given the status quo of the last 18 months, it\u2019s an essential if not non-negotiable cover on any insurance policy,\u201d explains Hussain.\n\u201cSasria cover is especially important for people who own property, live, work or commute in areas that have a high propensity for protest and strike action,\u201d says Hussain. \u201cTheir rates are regulated and for businesses the premium is not affected by the type of industry or the risks the business is exposed to, with the exception of certain mining risks. Sasria also has a number of discount options available and you should speak to your broker about some of the options for your business.\n\u201cFor commercial clients, Sasria cover in terms of Business Interruption is limited to fixed expenses or standing charges and Net Profit, but not for the traditional contingent business interruption covers such as losses following damage to premises of customers and suppliers, and to the supply of public utilities. These covers can be purchased from the private sector to ensure that your business is comprehensively covered,\u201d says Hussain.\n\u201cContact your broker who will be able to give you advice on which Sasria policy will best suit your needs, whether you are concerned about your assets, vehicles, construction projects or interruption to your business,\u201d concludes Hussain.",

The hosts doubled their lead, a minute later, when Roisin Doyle scored from close-range, but MMU pulled a goal back in the 14th minute in a competitive start to the match.\nDespite MMU sitting second in the league above Sheffield, the hosts continued to dominate. Holly Knowles restored Sheffield\u2019s two-goal advantage, before Doyle scored her second goal of the game, finding the top right corner from inside the crease.\nSheffield didn\u2019t have the safety of a three-goal cushion for long as MMU cut the deficit immediately from the face-off. Doyle, however, ensured Sheffield went into half-time with a 5-2 lead, scoring a brilliant goal on the stoke of half-time. Sheffield\u2019s top scorer spun around the defender, before firing into the roof of the net.\nTwo goals in quick succession from Emily Roche and Du Preez set the tone for the half as Sheffield scored 13 goals after the restart. Roisin Doyle added two goals in the space of a minute to give Sheffield a six-goal margin, before a quick-fire treble from Sports Officer Emily Roche extended the black and gold lead to 12-3 with 15 minutes still to play.\nDoyle, Aoife Gilchrist and Du Preez all scored goals within three minutes of each other to extend Sheffield\u2019s advantage to 12 goals, before MMU scored their fourth goal of the afternoon in the 51st minute. Catherine Roberts and Roisin Doyle took Sheffield\u2019s goal tally to 17 with two goals in two minutes.\nMMU scored their fifth goal three minutes from time, but it was only right that Sheffield had the final say after a dominant performance. Du Preez made sure this was the case firing into the roof of the net to seal a 18-5 victory and a place in next week\u2019s Northern Conference Cup final against Leeds Beckett University.\nNaomi Shaw, the Women\u2019s captain, said: \u201cI am very pleased because we have matched our performance in this competition from last year. We are ending our season with our three biggest games; but it should be really fun, we are really excited and hopefully we can win all three.\u201d\nUniversity of Sheffield 16-3 University of Edinburgh\nThe Men\u2019s 1s made it a double celebration for the University\u2019s lacrosse team after reaching the BUCS Trophy final with a 16-3 victory over Edinburgh. Ben Page-Laycock continued his fine form with five goals, Alex Burley scored four, Sebastian Dodd and Matt Tatton both scored three, while Marcus Goodlad also got his name on the scoresheet.\nThe Men\u2019s 1s will now play the University of Cambridge in the final which will be played on Wednesday 22nd March as part of the Big BUCS Wednesday in Bath. A week later, both the Men\u2019s and Women\u2019s sides will play Sheffield Hallam in Varsity.\nAdam Jones, the Men\u2019s captain, said: \u201cThat\u2019s the best I have seen us play this season. We faced a good Edinburgh team; they were undefeated this season and we weren\u2019t too sure what to expect; but we have stepped it up again. I can\u2019t think of a single player who didn\u2019t pull their weight today; everyone was really on their game and now we can\u2019t wait for the final.\u201d\nPrevious articleWednesday score freely against flapping Canaries\nNext articleThe Roar Show Sports Officer Candidates\nGoodwin News Adam Bailey - February 2, 2019\nScreen Adam Bailey - February 14, 2019\nArts Adam Bailey - February 13, 2019\nSheffield Sport Adam Bailey - February 13, 2019\nBUCS Adam Bailey - February 13, 2019",

Suddenly, shots rang out inside the mosque. The guards, armed only with truncheons, could not offer any resistance. Soon the entire territory of the huge complex of the mosque was under the complete control of unknown armed persons. They blocked all the entrances inside the building and set fire points on high minarets. The ideological inspirer and organizer of the seizure was Juhayman al-Utaybi, a former soldier of the national guard of Saudi Arabia. The first in importance was ally Muhammad al-Qahtani, who was a spiritual and religious symbol of the uprising. The rebels believed that the Mahdi, mentioned in the ancient prophecy, the renewed Islam on the eve of the Last Judgment, came to the Earth in his face. After capturing the mosque, the rebels wanted to announce the divine mission of the Mahdi and bring him an oath of allegiance at the walls of the sacred Kaaba.\nIt took the Saudi security forces two weeks to release the mosque from terrorists.

Mass executions and an exodus followed, as hundreds of thousands of republican, communist, anarchist or democratic Spanish tried to flee to neighbouring countries. Only months later the Second World War broke out, engulfing most of Europe. For many of the exiled this meant taking up arms against fascism again, and Spanish soldiers fought against Germany and her allies on all fronts of the war. For them, the end of the war ment more uncertainty, since returning home was not an option they had, Franco remaining as the last fascist dictator in Europe, having successfully and skillfully maintained neutrality throughout the war.\nAdding to the articles provided by Carlos P\u00e8rez, the following two essays capture the fate of Spanish soldiers on both fronts of the Second World War, more than repaying the assistance both factions had during the Civil War.\nAddtionally, Carlos research resulted in an inofficial Grand Europa OB for the Spanish Axis contingent.",

        "raw_content": "Fastest Nun in the West\nSister Blandina Segale came to Trinidad,Colorado in 1877 and later went to Santa Fe. She taught poor children, advocated for Hispanics and Native Americans, tried to stop sex slavery, stopped a lynch mob (maybe), and stared down Billy the Kid. Now they want to make her a saint, and I for one cannot think of a better choice.\nBut its not that easy. There are two big requirements: an exemplary life and two verified postmortem miracles.\nThe first one is probably an easy box to check, its the second that is a bit tricky.\nHer advocates say that cancer patients who have prayed to her have been healed and poor immigrants have seen miracles. IF one miracle is confirmed she would get the title of \"Blessed\" (maryrs get it automatically) but she would need two to be sainted.\nThe first hurdle for confirmation as a saint is the equivalent to a grand jury hearing, although largely ceremonial, in front of the Archdioceses of Santa Fe. After that the case gets handed over to the Vatican's equivalent of the Men in Black.\nTechnically these guys are the Congregation for the Causes of the Saints tasked with \"approving results on miracles, martyrdom and heroic virtues of various Servants of God.\" The current Prefect is Angelo Amato.\nBut EXACTLY what they do and how is a secret. Nebulous at best. These are the guys who show up when someone claims to have been healed by a statue of the Virgin or sees her a newly mowed lawn.\nTo me they are almost as interesting as Billy the Kid v. the Nun of Trinidad.",

        "raw_content": "RISK OFF ? / CREDIT BUBBLE BULLETIN\n| Etiquetas: Central Banking, China, Credit Bubbles, Currencies, Economics, Emerging Markets, Financial Markets, Interest Rates, The Dollar, The Fed, World Economic And Political\nRisk Off?\nThe \u201cGranddaddy of All Bubbles\u201d thesis rests upon the view that the world is in the midst of the precarious grand finale of a multi-decade global Credit and financial Bubble. When a Bubble bursts, system reflation requires an even larger fresh new Bubble. This has repeatedly been the case going back at least to the \u201cdecade of greed\u201d late-eighties Bubble in the U.S. These days the world confronts the terminal Bubble phase partially because of the unprecedented scope of the China and EM Bubbles. It\u2019s simply difficult to imagine another more far-reaching Bubble.\nAlso critical to the finale Bubble thesis is that the \u201cglobal government finance Bubble\u201d - encompassing unprecedented excesses in sovereign debt, central bank Credit and government market manipulation - has engulfed the very foundation of contemporary \u201cmoney\u201d and Credit.\nIt\u2019s again quite a challenge to envisage a new financial Bubble inflation cycle following a crisis of confidence at the heart of global finance.\nAs I\u2019ve posited repeatedly, the global Bubble has been pierced. Again this week, there's more confirmation. The collapse in commodities and EM currencies along with the faltering Chinese financial Bubble mark an historic inflection point. Global policymakers have gone to incredible measures to stabilize market, financial and economic backdrops. Yet reflationary measures will continue to only further destabilize. When policy-induced \u201crisk on\u201d is overpowering global securities markets, fragilities remain well concealed (and my prognosis appears ridiculous).\nFragilities, however, swiftly manifest when \u201crisk off\u201d reappears. Rather quickly securities markets demonstrate their proclivity for illiquidity and so-called \u201cflash crashes.\u201d So after an unsettled week in global markets, the critical issue is whether \u201crisk on\u201d is giving way to \u201crisk off\u201d dynamics.\nThere is no doubt that a powerful \u201crisk off\u201d has again gripped commodities markets. Crude (WTI) sank 8.5% this week to $40.71, the low since the tumultuous August period. The \u201cGSCI\u201d Commodities Index dropped 4.0% this week, increasing 2015 losses to almost 19% while trading down to near August lows. The Bloomberg Commodities Index sank to an almost 16-year low. Copper prices this week sank 3.6%, trading to a new six-year low. Zinc also traded to a six-year low, with nickel at a five-year low. Unleaded gasoline dropped almost 10%. Wheat fell 5.3% and Corn dropped 4.0%.\nWith commodities succumbing to another leg in an increasingly brutal bear market, worries quickly return to EM. The Brazilian real declined 2.1% this week and the Colombian peso sank 6.4%. The Russian ruble fell 3.5% and the South African rand declined 1.6%. Mexican stocks were hit 3.6%.\nNovember 9 \u2013 Bloomberg (Taylor Hall): \u201cDebt in developing markets is estimated to have reached $58.6 trillion at the start of 2015, with credit in China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea and Thailand exceeding that of Latin America, emerging Europe and the Middle East, according to the Institute of International Finance. Emerging-market debt has grown $28 trillion since 2009, according to the IIF\u2026 Global debt has soared $50 trillion during the period to surpass a total of $240 trillion, or 320% of gross domestic product, in early 2015. While credit has increased for almost all countries included in the new monitor over the past decade, debt-to-GDP ratios in developing Asia for non-financial corporate, household and financial corporate sectors have risen the most\u2026 Non-financial corporate sector debt in emerging markets has risen $13 trillion since 2009, increasing more than five-fold over the past decade to surpass $23.7 trillion in the first quarter of 2015. The advance has been most concentrated in emerging Asia, where it rose to 125% of GDP.\u201d\nWith market attention seemingly returning to the world\u2019s massive debt overhang, \u201cdeveloping\u201d Asia equities were hit hard this week. Stocks were down 4.2% in Taiwan (TAIEX), 2.8% in Singapore (STI), 2.8% in Thailand (SET), 3.1% in the Philippines (SE IDX), 2.1% in Indonesia (Jakarta Comp) and 1.6% in Malaysia (KLCI). Australian stocks (ASX 200) were hit 3.1% and New Zealand stocks (NZX 20) fell 1.7%. Hong Kong\u2019s Hang Seng Financial index dropped 2.6%, increasing its 2015 decline to 30.4%.\nDisappointing Chinese economic data (imports, exports, producer inflation, etc.) already had investors on edge. A (rapidly?) deteriorating corporate Credit backdrop was beginning to cause angst. And then Thursday\u2019s Chinese Credit data was stunningly disappointing. October saw total Credit growth (\u201cTotal Social Financing\u201d) cut by more than half. After September\u2019s jump to $204bn, Credit growth slowed sharply to $75bn, the weakest month of Credit expansion since July 2014. New bank loans, at $81bn, were less than half of September\u2019s $165bn. This is insufficient Credit to hold bust at bay.\nIn short order, confidence that Chinese policymakers have everything under control has begun to wane. The view that Beijing can simply dictate Credit growth through mandates to the big state-directed lenders is being shaken by anecdotes of increasingly nervous bankers and cautious borrowers. Suddenly there\u2019s talk of the Chinese \u201cpushing on a string.\u201d\nWhen global markets are in a bullish mood, commodities and EM currencies appear to have bottomed. Yields on energy, commodities and deep cyclical companies around the globe seem enticing. \u201cDeveloping\u201d country debt is attractively priced. Chinese officials seem capable of ensuring 6.5% growth as far as the eye can see. China enjoys the capacity to stabilize its currency, inflation level and debt load. And stable Chinese growth will backstop commodities markets, EM markets and economies and the global economy (and markets!) more generally.\nBut this optimistic view of things turns flimsy in a hurry. When crude and commodities begin to tank, large quantities of debt (company, country and financial) look increasingly suspect.\nKing dollar takes off, putting added pressure on faltering commodities and EM (currencies, debt and stocks) Bubbles. And with the Chinese currency pegged to king dollar, the markets\u2019 view of China\u2019s Credit situation can abruptly shift from \u201cmanageable\u201d to \u201cpotentially very troubling.\u201d\nAnd returning to the \u201cGranddaddy Bubble Finale\u201d thesis, the Chinese and EM Bubbles fundamentally changed the \u201cproducer\u201d and \u201cconsumer\u201d inflationary backdrops. Ultra-loose global finance has ensured massive overcapacity in too many things. It has created an unprecedented divergence between bubbling financial markets and weakening fundamental prospects. There\u2019s way too much debt almost everywhere, a debt burden that central bankers would like to inflate away to more manageable levels. The Chinese are desperate for inflation to grow out of historic amounts of debt. They\u2019ve been able to inflate out of debt troubles previously, and they\u2019ve watched U.S. reflationary measures work their magic repeatedly.\nThe bursting global Bubble is especially problematic for China. EM currencies have been devalued, while the U.S. and Chinese currencies have skyrocketed. The old reflationary measures no longer work. Loose \u201cmoney\u201d only exacerbates overcapacity, inequalities and financial Bubbles. The strong dollar further pressures global pricing, while adding to heightened Credit stress globally (certainly including EM dollar-denominated debt).\nMeanwhile, China\u2019s currency peg to the dollar ensures the already vulnerable Chinese manufacturing complex becomes further uncompetitive. It ensures major problems related to the country\u2019s enormous lending and investing boom in global resources. The resulting Credit stress only exacerbates disinflationary pricing pressures.\nIn 2014 and again in August, it appeared China was to commence meaningful currency devaluation. In both instances acute financial stress forced Chinese officials to immediately backtrack. Trying to recover from the August fiasco, the Chinese have focused on currency stability. And when markets are in that optimistic state of mind, Chinese policy appears sensible and sustainable. But when \u201crisk off\u201d begins to take hold, China\u2019s mountains of overcapacity and debt appear completely at odds with a strong currency \u2013 with a peg to king dollar \u2013 in a disinflationary global environment.\nIt wasn\u2019t only commodities and EM that succumbed to \u201crisk off\u201d this week. European stocks were down about 3%. U.S. stocks had a really rough week. The S&P500 declined 3.6%, with the broader market down even more. Selling was broad-based. Credit spreads also widened, most notably in high-yield. Junk bond funds saw flows reverse to sizable outflows. There were anecdotes of waning demand for leveraged loans, high-yield municipal debt and risky Credits more generally. Puerto Rico\u2026 Hedge fund performance\u2026 This is all consistent with heightened risk aversion and self-reinforcing pressure to de-leverage.\nConfidence was so high the bulls had seemingly already taken a big year-end rally to the bank.\n\u201cRisk off\u201d into December would catch the bullish consensus by completely flatfooted. \u201cRisk off\u201d would also catch most un-hedged and over-exposed to the long side. \u201cRisk off\u201d would also complicate life for the Fed. Just when they had finally gathered the nerve to move, global markets turn sour. And perhaps the Fed has been whipsawed by the markets one too many times. But I still think global markets are being dictated much more by China than the Fed.\nAnd at this point, Chinese officials have the much more difficult decisions. Do they bite the bullet and start devaluing? Or do they stick with the peg and hope?\nMy Friday writing has been interrupted by the news of terrible terrorist attacks in Paris. It\u2019s a reminder of the increasingly hostile world in which we live. And it\u2019s consistent with a darkening of the social mood in Europe and well as here in the U.S. and around the world more generally. It\u2019s also part of the troubling backdrop conducive to a problematic \u201crisk off\u201d when faith in global central bankers and Chinese officials wanes.\nNovember 13 \u2013 Bloomberg (Candice Zachariahs, Anchalee Worrachate and Lananh Nguyen): \u201c...While dislocations may provide opportunities for investors, they also bring challenges, according to... Luke Bartholomew, an investment manager at Aberdeen Asset Management... 'The real worry about liquidity is that it behaves like a bad friend -- it is there when you don\u2019t especially need it, but as soon as you do need it, it disappears.'\"\nIN THE LONG SHADOW OF THE GREAT RECESSION / THE FINANCIAL TIMES COMMENT & ANALYSIS\n| Etiquetas: Economics, Europe Economic and Political, The Great Recession, U.S. Economic And Political, World Economic And Political\nIn the long shadow of the Great Recession\nIt may be hard to avoid crises but it is vital to make them both small and rare\n\u00a9James Ferguson\nThe US and Europe still live with the legacies of the financial crisis of 2007-09 and the subsequent eurozone crisis. Could better policies have prevented that outcome; and, if so, what might they have been?\nA recovery is under way, but only in a limited sense. The change in gross domestic product of crisis-hit countries is now almost universally positive. But GDP remains far below what might have been expected from pre-crisis trends. In most cases, growth has not recovered, mainly because of declines in productivity growth. In the eurozone, GDP was still below pre-crisis levels in the second quarter of 2015. In crisis-hit members, a return to pre-crisis output is still far away. They will suffer lost decades.\nFrom a sample of 23 high-income countries, Professor Laurence Ball of Johns Hopkins University concludes that losses of potential output ranged from zero in Switzerland to more than 30 per cent in Greece, Hungary and Ireland. In aggregate, he concludes, potential output this year was thought to be 8.4 per cent below what its pre-crisis path would have predicted.\nThis damage from the Great Recession is, he notes, much the same as if Germany\u2019s economy had disappeared.\nA central finding of the work by Prof Ball and, more recently, by Antonio Fat\u00e1s of Insead and Lawrence Summers of Harvard, is that estimates of potential output track actual output. This suggests that \u201chysteresis\u201d \u2014 the impact of past experience on subsequent performance \u2014 is very powerful. Possible causes of hysteresis include: the effect of prolonged joblessness on employability; slowdowns in investment; declines in the capacity of the financial sector to support innovation; and a pervasive loss of animal spirits.\nThis year Jason Furman, chairman of the US Council of Economic Advisers brought out the impact of low post-crisis investment: after the crisis, the contribution of investment labour productivity fell to very low levels (see chart). This was strikingly so in US, where the estimated impact actually was negative.\nThe hysteresis hypothesis is not universally accepted. There are at least three other explanations for the enduring post-crisis collapse in output.\nFirst, it is argued that credit booms raised pre-crisis estimates of potential output far above sustainable levels. One objection to this is that the expansion in credit raised asset prices far more than it fuelled actual spending. Adair Turner, former chairman of the UK\u2019s Financial Services Authority, makes this point in his book Between Debt and the Devil . A further objection to this argument is that it confuses the contribution of debt to the structure of demand with its effect on overall supply.\nA second explanation for the post-crisis collapse in output is that the impact of new technologies on output is being underestimated. Yet, even if this were true (which is possible), it would not explain the sharp slowdown in the growth of productivity after the financial crisis. The difficulty of measuring the impact of new technologies also did not suddenly increase in the UK (the country worst affected by a post-crisis slowdown in productivity growth) relative to the US (the home of these new technologies, yet relatively less affected by the productivity slowdown).\nA final explanation is that productivity growth slowed before the crisis. In the US, this does seem to be the case. But it is less obviously true elsewhere.\nOn balance, then, the hysteresis hypothesis retains substantial force. This is why it is so important that we avoid huge crises and respond strongly to any that occur, to minimise their economic impact. Otherwise, the bad cycle might permanently damage the trend.\nThis raises two further questions: could the adverse impact of the crisis have been smaller?\nAnd can it still be reversed? The answer to the first must be yes. But it would have required stronger fiscal and monetary responses, and more aggressive restructuring of damaged financial institutions. The eurozone, in particular, should have done far better. Yet, even today, it lacks the will and the institutions it needs.\nThe answer to whether the losses in output levels and growth rates can be reversed must again be yes.\nBy the early 1960s GDP per head in the US had regained the level indicated by a continuation of pre-1929 trends. Unfortunately, the fiscal boost from the second world war was a deus ex machina for policy. It cannot be repeated in peacetime. Even so, it might at least be possible to return to pre-crisis trend rates of growth. A mix of ag\u00adgressive support for demand and contributions to long-term supply \u2014 notably via far higher levels of public investment \u2014 would hit both objectives at once.\nThe evidence, then, is that festering recessions have prolonged effects on prosperity. One conclusion is that it is vital to act swiftly to restore demand. Moreover, the evidence is now clear that the big high-income countries enjoyed the policy space needed to act decisively. Whatever many so foolishly said in 2010, they never faced the slightest risk of turning into Greece. The US and, still more, the eurozone should have responded far more aggressively.\nExperience indicates something else no less important. It may be hard to avoid crises but it is vital to make them both small and rare. Financial crises lead to deep recessions and prolonged slowdowns, partly because policymakers fear making sufficiently strong responses. For this reason the regulation of finance simply had to be tightened. The question is only whether it has been tightened in the right way.\nOOPS THE FEDS DID IT AGAIN -- ARE THEY SETTING UP THE MASSES FOR ANOTHER STIMULUS PROGRAM\n| Etiquetas: Gold, Interest Rates, Monetary Policy, QE, The Fed, Unemployment\nOops The Feds Did it Again- Are They Setting up The Masses for Another Stimulus Program\n\"I guess the definition of a lunatic is a man surrounded by them.\"\nIs the Fed playing mind games with the masses or is it simply another version of Britney Spears hit song \"Oops I did it again\"? Only this time they did not. They keep mouthing off that they are ready to raise rates and then suddenly just before the moment to pull the trigger draws near; some unforeseeable event springs up, and they kick the can down the road again. Two questions comes to mind.\nWhy the intense focus on what the Fed might or might not do; has the press run out of real stories to focus on. Come on we are talking about a measly 0.25% hike. In the worst of scenarios, this should be treated as a hiccup and not a major tragedy.\nSecondly, history indicates that the markets tend to trend higher for up to two years after the first rate hike. Thus, a rate hike should be viewed as a positive event as it would indicate all was well. But perhaps all is not well, and that is why the crowd is panicking at the mere thought of a hike.\nWe, however, believe that this boring Fed might raise rates story is a non-event and have said so many times in the past.\nThe Fed is hesitating so much in raising rates because they know that the economy is not really strong. However, what is more, important is they are trying to gauge if the public is buying the nonsense that the outlook is improving via all the manipulated data that is being put out? If they sense that the public is buying this nonsense, then they will initiate a tiny rate hike. To some degree, it appears that the public is buying this nonsense. Whatever move the Fed makes; their ultimate aim is to find a way to embark on another wave of QE. Look at the World's markets; while the US markets look okay, the emerging markets are taking a beating and its just a matter of time before the contagion spreads to the U.S. The only way to prevent this is to flood the markets with hot money. ~ Market Update Oct 2nd, 2015.\nThe Fed is still trying to gauge if the crowd has bought into their drug induced theme, which states that all work and no play makes Jack a smart chap. We used to use the word sadly, but is that really the appropriate word to use; if the crowd does the same thing over and over again. Perhaps instead of saying sadly, we should instead begin the sentence with; insanely the crowd appears to be buying into this theme. Is the economy really improving?. ~ Market Update Oct 17, 2015\nThe most recent jobs numbers masked a dark story. Unemployment held steady at 5.1%, but only 59.2% of Americans have a job. The difference is the unemployment rate only counts people who don't have a job and are actively looking for one. The labor force participation rate is perhaps a more accurate gauge of the economy. It includes people who've given up, don't want to, or can't work, and it fell to 62.4% last quarter Full story\nIf this story is taken at face value, the economy should be in tatters and people should be rioting.\nInstead, all appears calm; the masses suffer silently and lay the blame on forces they claim to have no power over. As long as they take this approach that is exactly how things will play out.\nIt is, for this reason, the Fed is not raising rates; they know that they have just barely managed to create the illusion that things are stable. They are in no hurry to pop this bubble. While many call the Fed stupid and short-sighted; the truth is that at every twist and turn of the road, they have walked away unscathed. While the gold bugs wait for their day in glory (many have already passed away waiting for that glorious day to dawn), they do not understand that even if Gold moves to 10,000 which it will not, the Fed has, is and will still win the game.\nEven if Gold could miraculously surge to $100K it would mean nothing; if you control the printing press, you just push the pedal to the metal and print a lot more and problem solved.\nNever get caught up in any battle, for a battle is one of many in a war. The idea should be to win the war and not the battle. Before engaging your opponent, look around, gauge the situation and plan a course of action. The masses are frozen, they bitch and moan about how bad things are, but when push comes to shove, they opt for being shoved, instead of pushing back. In the end, their role as history indicates is that of cannon fodder. Do not feel sorry for the masses and do not attempt to educate them. Should you decide to undertake this unworthy venture, your reward will be a fistful of pain.\nThe masses are infamous for punishing the wrong person for the wrong crime. There is no such thing as a good Samaritan in the land of investing. A good Samaritan is usually a dead Samaritan and heroes usually have very short life spans. Pay attention to history, you will never see the masters of deceptions or the shadowy elite players move out of the shadows and try to play the role of a hero or a good Samaritan. These roles are created for the masses; they are sold a bag of lies, and they gladly buy into this mumbo jumbo.\nNo matter what the nuts out there state; the Fed is not hell bent on raising rates, they are not scared or nervous about anything, and they backed into a corner. They have backed everyone else into a corner, and the ones that are scared are the ones makes these idiotic proclamations.\nThe Fed might raise rates, but their goal is to find an excuse that the masses will buy hook line and sinker, to come out with another round of QE. The whole purpose of this experiment is to find out just how far the crowd can be pushed with the proper brainwashing. Right now they are taking notes so that the central bankers of the future can build on these lessons and push the envelope even further. The reason there is no repeat of 1929 is because they took notes and learned from their mistakes. These guys are nefarious geniuses. They give the impression of being impotent, but they are omnipotent. So how do you win?\nThe answer is simple. Throw your silly emotions and bias out of the window and ride on their coattails. End of story.\n\"It is wrong to think that misfortunes come from the east or from the west; they originate within one's own mind. Therefore, it is foolish to guard against misfortunes from the external world and leave the inner mind uncontrolled.\"\nGERMANY LOSES KEY ALLY IN PORTUGAL AS AUSTERITY REGIME CRUMBLES / THE TELEGRAPH\n| Etiquetas: Economics, Europe Economic and Political, Germany, Greece, Portugal\nGermany loses key ally in Portugal as austerity regime crumbles\n'We don\u2019t have a coup here: we have democracy. Whoever lacks the votes in the national assembly cannot govern,' says the leader of the Left Bloc\nPortugal\u2019s Communists and radical Left Bloc are poised to take power in a historic departure as part of an anti-austerity coalition led by the Socialists, despite being branded too dangerous for office by the country's president just 11 days ago.\nWhile it is not a replay of the \"Syriza moment\" in Greece last January, the ascendancy of the Left marks a clear break with the previous austerity regime and with the policies of the now-departed EU-IMF Troika.\n\u201cPolitical risks are rising,\u201d said Alberto Gallo from RBS. While Portugal has been a model of good behaviour in the eurozone until now, largely immune to radical politics, it has extremely high debt levels. He warned that the country may be skating on thin ice.\nThe bond markets reacted badly to news that the three rival parties had overcome bitter differences and struck a definitive deal on a detailed governing programme. Yields on 10-year Portuguese bonds jumped 21 basis points to 2.86pc. The risk-spread over German Bunds has risen 68 points since March.\nA Socialist-led government under Antonio Costa will deprive Germany of a stalwart ally in its efforts to uphold fiscal discipline and drive reform in the eurozone. It has always been crucial to the German political narrative of the EMU debt crisis that the pro-austerity arguments should be made for them by political leaders in the peripheral states.\nThe change of regime in Lisbon could usher in a clean sweep by Left-leaning forces across southern Europe if the Spanish Socialists unite with the country\u2019s new insurgent parties to dislodge the Right in the country\u2019s elections next month. The race is currently too close to call.\nTotal non-financial debt is 370pc of GDP, the highest in the world after Japan\nThere would then be an emerging \"Latin bloc\" with the heft to confront Germany and push for a fundamental overhaul of EMU economic strategy. At the very least, the political chemistry of the eurozone would change beyond recognition.\nPortugal\u2019s Left-wing alliance won a majority in the country\u2019s parliament last month but was initially rebuffed by President Anibal Cavaco Silva, who insisted on re-appointing a conservative government even though it had lost its working majority, and even though the political centre of gravity in the country has shifted markedly to the Left, and austerity fatigue is palpable.\nIn an incendiary speech he incited Socialist deputies to break ranks with their own party and the support the Right, arguing that it was in effect a national emergency. This high-risk gambit failed totally. The triple-Left has held together, overcoming bitter differences in the past.\nMost contentiously, President Cavaco argued that anti-euro and anti-Nato elements of the Left should legitimately be shut out of power to avoid rattling financial markets or endangering euro membership, without seeming to realize the full gravity of what he was suggesting.\n\u201cIn 40 years of democracy, no government in Portugal has ever depended on the support of anti-European forces, that is to say forces that campaigned to abrogate the Lisbon Treaty, the Fiscal Compact, as well as to take Portugal out of the euro, in addition to wanting the dissolution of NATO,\u201d he said.\n\u201cThis is the worst moment for a radical change to the foundations of our democracy. It is my duty, within my constitutional powers, to do everything possible to prevent false signals being sent to financial institutions and markets,\u201d he said.\nThe Socialist leader accused the president of \u201cusurping the powers of parliament\u201d at the time.\nHe has since offered an olive branch as events move his way, and power comes within grasp.\nCatarina Martins, the Left Bloc\u2019s leader, said the will of the people had prevailed. \u201cWe don\u2019t have a coup here: we have democracy. Whoever lacks the votes in the national assembly cannot form a government,\u201d she said.\nAs expected, the Communists have agreed to drop their demands for euro exit and a return to the escudo, while the Left Bloc has toned down its eurosceptic language and will no longer push for debt relief.\nMr Costa has pledged to abide by EU rules, but the coalition\u2019s spending ambitions are ultimately incompatible with the Fiscal Compact, and go against the grain of market reforms.\nPublic sector wages cuts and the pension freeze for state workers are to be reversed. Structural reform is frozen. Plans to privatize the national water group (EGF) and the rest of the airline TAP are to be halted, and a scheme to open transport in Lisbon and Oporto to private competition is on hold.\nPedro Passos Coelho, the outgoing premier, described the plans as the \u201cpolitics of ruin\u201d and warned the Portuguese people that austerity is not a choice but an absolute imperative if they wish to remain part of the European order.\nPortugal's trade profile has improved enormoulsy but the gains are thinning and it is not enough pay down foreign debt\nFederico Santi from Eurasia Group said the Left alliance, also allied to the Greens, is likely to be highly unstable, with a \u201crecurring flashpoint\u201d each year as the new budget is passed. \u201cRisks to the fiscal outlook are increasing,\u201d he said.\nEU officials are dismayed by plans to raise the minimum wage to \u20ac600 a month \u2013 plus two months\u2019 bonus \u2013 a level that would cover 25pc of all employees. Labour economists say this is extremely high and will entrench unemployment, as well as stifling small business.\n\u201cIt is very negative and will reduce the dynamism of the economy,\u201d said an EU expert who has had close dealings with the country.\n\u201cI am very worried about the way this is going. They are still a poor country. They have not restored competitiveness, and they don\u2019t have the entrepreneurial culture of Greece, but they now think they are safe. I fear there could be a fresh crisis within two or three years,\u201d he said.\nPortugal is shielded from the bond vigilantes as long as the European Central Bank is buying its debt under quantitative easing but it is far from clear whether it really has restored full viability within EMU.\nPublic and private debt is 370pc of GDP, the second highest in the world after Japan. The budget deficit is still 4.7pc of GDP deep into the country\u2019s Lost Decade, and the net international investment position is minus 116pc and has been getting worse. It is far beyond the -30pc safety line used by the International Monetary Fund.\nThe IMF says the export miracle is not quite what it seems since there has been a large rise in re-exports with little value added. The country remains acutely vulnerable to any external shock. \u201cA durable rebalancing of the economy has not taken place,\u201d it said.\nPARIS ATTACKS SUGGEST SHIFT IN ISLAMIC STATE\u00b4S STRATEGY / THE WALL STREET JOURNAL\n| Etiquetas: Europe Economic and Political, France, ISIS, The Caliphate, War on Terror\nParis Attacks Suggest Shift in Islamic State\u2019s Strategy\nTerror group\u2019s claim of responsibility, if true, represents a departure from militant group\u2019s concentration on creating a state in Syria and Iraq\nFrench police officers stopped a vehicle at a check point at the French-Italian border on Saturday, as European capitals reinforced security checks following a series of coordinated attacks in and around Paris late Friday that left more than 120 people dead. Photo: Agence France-Presse/Getty Images\nFriday\u2019s attacks in Paris, if Islamic State\u2019s claim of responsibility proves correct, represent a major departure for the militant group that until now concentrated on creating a state in Syria and Iraq rather than directly targeting the West.\nSuch a turn also heralds a dramatic escalation in the perils faced by civilians in Europe and the U.S., the \u201ccrusader nations\u201d in Islamic State\u2019s cross hairs. Islamic State, after all, is far more indiscriminate in its targeting than al Qaeda: It considers pretty much anyone in the West as legitimate prey.\nThe Paris massacre occurred as Islamic State was suffering military setbacks in Syria and Iraq, losing territory to the Kurds in both nations and being subjected to an intensified air campaign by both the U.S.-led coalition and, since recently, Russia.\n\u201cIslamic State is on the defensive and so it is shifting toward terrorist activity, particularly in Europe, because that is an accessible area for them. This is the way to make sure people keep speaking about them, and to appear as an attractive group that remains capable of spectacular action,\u201d said Camille Grand, director of the Fondation pour la Recherche Strategique, a Paris-based defense and security think tank.\nWhile the Paris massacre wasn\u2019t the first terrorist act in the West claimed by Islamic State, it is by far the deadliest and most sophisticated. It came two weeks after Islamic State claimed to have brought down a Russian passenger jet in Egypt.\nUntil now, most of its attacks in the West, such as the January assault on a Paris kosher supermarket and the December hostage-taking in a Sydney coffee shop, were believed to be the work of Islamic State sympathizers rather than people acting on direct orders from the militant group, also known as ISIS and ISIL.\n\u201cIf this was indeed directed by ISIS Central, it represents a major change from an earlier focus on state-building: They have made a decision that they will punish anyone who stands in the way of the expansion of their state,\u201d said William McCants, an expert on radical Islam at the Brookings Institution and author of a recent book, \u201cThe ISIS Apocalypse.\u201d\nThe initial claim of responsibility from Islamic State didn\u2019t name the Paris attackers or provide video evidence of the kind usually released following bombings in the Middle East. Terrorism experts, however, increasingly believe Friday\u2019s killings were unlikely to have been the work of lone wolves.\nFrance deployed soldiers to secure strategic areas in Paris while European leaders met to address security measures in their own countries. WSJ's Shelby Holliday has the details on Europe's response to the Paris attacks.\n\u201cThe complexity of the operations we have seen in Paris shows that we are facing an organization, something that was not just incited but also organized,\u201d said Mr. Grand.\nAs long as Islamic State retains control over a huge territory in Syria and Iraq, and enjoys the legitimacy this control confers on it in the eyes of many radical Muslims, more such attacks are likely soon.\n\u201cLet France and all the nations following in its path know that they will continue to be at the top of the target list for Islamic State, and that the scent of death will not leave their nostrils.\u2026Indeed, it is just the beginning,\u201d Islamic State said in its claim of responsibility for Friday\u2019s attack.\nGiven just how simple it is to kill random civilians in a Western city, that isn\u2019t an idle warning. Its also one that calls into question the U.S.-led policy of using limited means to contain, rather than decisively defeat, Islamic State.\n\u201cWithout a doubt, this is a whole new threat to humanity, and it is really hard to imagine how it could be contained,\u201d said Hassan Hassan, a fellow at the Royal Institute of International Affairs in London and author of a recent book, \u201cISIS: Inside the Army of Terror.\u201d \u201cI don\u2019t think it could be restrained without effectively defeating it in Syria and Iraq.\u201d\nIn fact, Islamic State is far more dangerous than al Qaeda in the immediate future, many experts say. Unlike Islamic State, al Qaeda exercises relative restraint and pursues a political agenda that, for example, doesn\u2019t call for an outright genocide of Shiites. During the January attack on Charlie Hebdo magazine in Paris, claimed by al Qaeda, the perpetrators didn\u2019t shoot random bystanders\u2014the victims of Friday\u2019s rampage.\n\u201cAl Qaeda chose symbolic targets,\u201d said Stephane Lacroix, a specialist in radical Islam at Sciences Po university in Paris. \u201cBut Islamic State views this as an almost existential conflict, which translates into far more indiscriminate methods of action. And that makes its attacks much more difficult to stop.\u201d\nWHAT TO EXPECT AFTER NOV. 13 PARIS ATTACKS / STRATFOR GLOBAL INTELLIGENCE\n| Etiquetas: France, ISIS, WWIII\nFrench security forces evacuate Paris\u2019 10th arrondissement following a string of Nov. 13 attacks. (KENZO TRIBOUILLARD/AFP/Getty Images)\nUpdate (6:00 CST): According to French media reports, French security forces have stormed and secured the Bataclan theater. The attackers apparently used grenades inside the main concert hall, Aujourd'hui Paris reported Nov. 13. Details are still emerging.\nThe attacks will surely have political consequences. They come five days before France's only aircraft carrier, the Charles de Gaulle, is due to set sail for the Persian Gulf for actions against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. France has been carrying out airstrikes in Syria since late September.\nShould the attacks be traced back to the Islamic State's core area of operation, France will probably deepen its involvement in anti-Islamic State operations in Syria and Iraq at a time when the Syrian battlefield in particular is becoming crowded and complicated.\nFrom a political perspective, the attacks are a reminder of France's longstanding ethnic frictions following several months in which the focus has been on neighboring Germany. High numbers of migrants have been entering Germany from the east and south, with very few carrying on to France.\nAs a result, France has kept a relatively low profile in the attempts to stem the flow of migrants, though it has been present at the numerous summits on the issue and has supported Germany's push for a relocation of asylum seekers across Europe. Nevertheless, this event can be expected to strengthen the argument of those groups that have been calling for a halt in the flow of immigrants and the closing of borders in countries such as Germany, Sweden and much of Central and Eastern Europe\nIn the wake of these attacks, Marine Le Pen and her far-right National Front party could see their popularity rise. Le Pen kept a low profile after the Charlie Hebdo shooting in January and still saw an increase in her party's popularity because of its longstanding anti-immigration message. Hollande also saw a brief uptick in popularity after the Charlie Hebdo attack because of his reaction to the events, but a repeat of this trend is not expected because people will now question whether the anti-terrorism measures that were approved this year actually worked.\nThe leader of the center-right Republicans Party, Nicolas Sarkozy, also has a history of taking a strong stance on security issues; he was campaigning on the subject only last week. He is expected to battle the milder Alain Juppe for his party's nomination in the 2017 elections, and voters may swing to his side in the wake of the attacks.\nCAN CHINA REFLATE ITS ECONOMY? / SEEKING ALPHA\nCan China Reflate Its Economy?\nby: Bert Dohmen\n- China now has 43 consecutive months of negative PPI.\n- Chinese companies have borrowed more than $1 TRILLION denominated in dollars.\n- China had a 20.4% plunge in imports last month, confirming a true and accelerating economic contraction.\nChina now has 43 consecutive months of negative PPI (wholesale prices). That's important deflation, and will spread to the rest of the world.\nNow the global institutions think it is better to issue warnings rather than continue hiding the big problems. Only Wall Street analysts still play the \"let's pretend all is well\" game.\nWe hear all the time that China cannot have a crisis because it has $3.7 TRILLION in reserves.\nWe disagree with that for several reasons. First, who has counted that? Is this Chinese accounting? It may have accumulated over the years, but hasn't it been spent on extravagant and unproductive governmental projects, such as building cities where no one except the street sweepers live?\nThere have been huge \"mal-investments\" by the government over the past 5 years. There is no \"return on investment\" on that. Here is a great video on China's empty cities and empty shopping centers:\nFurthermore, although the China government may not have lots of foreign debt, Chinese companies have borrowed more than $1 TRILLION denominated in dollars. Now that debt is rising in terms of the yuan, just as imports and exports are plunging, it becomes difficult to service that debt. That's what causes deep recessions or depressions.\nChina's largest coal mining company, which has a labor force of 240,000, announced that it would cut 100,000 jobs or 40% of its entire 240,000-strong labor force.\nWhile the perma-bulls on China try to get investors to buy the China stocks, I think it is important to take a look at the true China economy, not what the China government and their mouthpieces tell you.\nOn October 13, the news out of China was a 20.4% plunge in imports. This is serious. It confirms a true and accelerating economic contraction.\nIf you consider that about 50% of world economic growth, and 80% of world commodity demand growth, came from China in the last 15 years, then you know how critical the current China crisis is to the world.\nAs we wrote three years ago in our book, \"The Coming China Crisis\", when China finally goes into recession, it will cause a Tsunami throughout the financial world.\nChina's Q3 GDP growth dropped a miniscule amount from 7% to 6.9% in the last quarter. How is that possible with such miserable economic statistics? No surprise for us. China has to show the world that the stock market crash didn't affect the economy, even if they have to fudge the numbers more than normal.\nAmazingly, many comments from analysts were exactly what the China government wanted, namely that this is \"proof\" that all is well in China.\nBut Marketwatch.com wrote: \"Analysts for years have expressed doubts about China's official data, but there was particularly intense distrust on Monday.\"\nAs you know, we look at much more important numbers in China, such as electrical consumption, rail car loadings, credit market conditions, etc. These are extremely negative.\nThey confirm our statements for months that the private sector in China is in a RECESSION!\nBelow is a chart of some these numbers, courtesy of AJ Bell.\nRail shipments in China (red line) are now down a hefty 15% on a year-over-year basis. Look especially at the drop in rail freight traffic. It is now declining at a big 15% rate. That is a better indicator of economic conditions than GDP.\nChina's stock markets are now seeing continued liquidation. There is basically one big buyer now, the government, through the financial entities it supports. Because sellers, such as financial firms, have seen their top executives arrested for the \"crime\" of selling stocks, and short sellers are arrested for \"financial crimes,\" there is no incentive to buy.\nForeign financial firms won't buy under these conditions either, and are more interested in getting out than in getting in. The only buyers are the small speculators who think that the speculative market of earlier this year will revive. The vast majority of these speculators have little or no education, they don't look at fundamentals, and just buy a stock because it went up yesterday. They focus on the China Next Market (NYSEARCA:CNXT). The P/E ratio of this index is at a lofty 90, about five times richer than the 25 biggest China stocks.\nThe chart of the SHANGHAI INDEX shows the big rise in the June top propelled by government policy. The goal was to provide conditions to let the big government-owned firms refinance their excessive debt by selling shares. These firms are totally mismanaged because they are controlled by the family members of the highest officials. The boom eventually caused the bust. Almost $5 TRILLION in wealth was wiped out in the crash, equivalent to over 40% of annual China GDP.\nChina's private companies, not the large government-owned firms (SOEs), are in the middle of a huge credit crunch. The popular financing methods, often called the \"shadow banking system\", are basically closed. Therefore, companies defer payments to suppliers, which causes a negative ripple effect of defaulting loans.\nUS analysts tell us that China's private sector economy is recovering strongly. And then they quote some double-digit annualized gains over the past month, which to us looks like the typical \"dead cat bounce\" after a shock. It's meaningless.\nChina has been trying desperately to make the transition from an economy highly dependent on governmental \"investments\" to a consumer-driven economy.\nAbout 10 years ago, 46% of the economy was the consumer. Now, after 10 years of boosting that percentage, it has actually plunged to 35%. Yes, even a communist dictatorship can't control the economy.\nBottom Line: China's \"hard-landing\" has arrived. The private sector economy is already in recession. The credit crunch is enormous. When a small firm can't get credit, the next step is closing down.\nGovernmental efforts to push \"liquidity\" into the system will be just as ineffective as it has been in Europe and the US. Small interest rate cuts and lower reserve requirements only work when lenders are willing to lend. But when loan defaults soar, bankers don't lend.\nThe stock market will be shunned by international investment firms for a long time. When a government prohibits selling of stocks during a plunge, how can any money manager defend buying the stocks for his investors?\nTHE GLOBAL ECONOMY IS IN WORSE SHAPE THAN YOU THINK / CASEY DAILY DISPATCH\n| Etiquetas: Oil and Energy, Saudi Arabia, Shipping, World Economic And Political\nThe Global Economy is in Worse Shape than You Think\nSaudi Arabia is sliding toward a crisis\u2026\nAs you likely know, the price of oil has crashed since last summer. In June 2014, oil peaked at over $106/barrel. Today, oil trades at just $44\u2026good for a 58% decline.\nThe oil crash has crushed oil stocks. Exxon Mobile Corporation (XOM), America\u2019s largest oil company, has dropped 19% since July 2014. Chevron Corporation (CVX), America\u2019s second-largest oil company, has dropped 29% over the same period. The SPDR\u00ae S&P\u00ae Oil & Gas Exploration & Production ETF (XOP), which tracks the performance of the largest U.S. energy companies, has fallen 35% in just the past year.\nThings are probably going to get worse for the oil sector before they get better. As we\u2019ve explained, oil companies have already shut down $200 billion worth of projects this year. But more shutdowns are likely coming. Energy consulting company Wood Mackenzie estimates that a stunning $1.5 trillion worth of oil projects in North America can\u2019t make money at $50 oil.\n\u2022 Saudi Arabia is the world\u2019s largest oil producer\u2026\nIt supplies 13% of the world\u2019s daily oil production\u2026or more than one in eight barrels produced worldwide.\nNo other country depends on oil money as much as Saudi Arabia does. Oil sales account for 80% of the Saudi government\u2019s revenue. And Saudi officials have used oil revenue to pay the country\u2019s bills for years\u2026\nHigh oil prices have helped Saudi Arabia earn far more than it spends. Over the past decade, the government averaged an annual budget surplus equal to 13% of the country\u2019s gross domestic product (GDP).\n\u2022 But due to the oil collapse, Saudi Arabia is now facing its first budget deficit since 2009\u2026\nThe International Monetary Fund (IMF) expects the Saudi government to run a budget deficit equal to 22% of its GDP this year\u2026and another deficit of 19% of GDP next year.\nFor comparison, the U.S. hasn\u2019t run a deficit that large since World War II. Even during the worst of the 2008 financial crisis, the U.S. deficit never got higher than 9.8% of GDP.\n\u2022 These huge deficits are a disaster for Saudi Arabia\u2026\nIn its Middle East Economic Outlook Report, the IMF says Saudi Arabia could run out of money by 2020.\nSaudi Arabia has built up a huge pile of savings from selling oil. It currently holds almost $650 billion in foreign reserves. However, the Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency has already spent $70 billion to make up for the drop in oil revenue. The nation\u2019s foreign reserves hit a three-year low in September...and they\u2019re likely to keep falling.\nSaudi Arabia may even have to borrow money in the global bond market for the first time ever. Yesterday, Financial Times reported:\nSaudi officials say the kingdom could increase debt levels to as much as 50 percent of gross domestic product within five years, up from a forecasted 6.7 per cent this year and 17.3 per cent in 2016.\n\u2022 However, Saudi Arabia says it won\u2019t stop pumping oil...\nOn Monday, Financial Times reported that Saudi Arabia\u2019s state-owned oil company, Saudi Aramco, won\u2019t stop pumping oil while prices are low. Instead, it will keep pumping oil to maintain its share of the global oil market. Unlike some countries, Saudi Arabia has oil projects that can still make money at low prices.\nAnother Middle Eastern country, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), also doesn\u2019t plan to cut production while oil prices are down. Yesterday, the UAE said it will not abandon efforts to expand its oil production capacity. UAE is the world\u2019s sixth-largest oil producer. Oil makes up 47% of its exports.\nThe country plans to increase its capacity from 2.9 million barrels-per-day (bpd) to 3.5 million bpd over the next two or three years. Like Saudi Arabia, UAE refuses to dial back production for fear of losing market share.\nSaudi Arabia and UAE are key members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), a cartel of twelve oil-producing countries. On December 4, OPEC will meet in Vienna to discuss how much oil its members will produce going forward.\nIt\u2019s a bad sign for oil prices that two key members have promised to not cut production\u2026\n\u2022 E.B. Tucker, editor of The Casey Report, thinks these oil-rich countries have no choice but to keep pumping\u2026\nHere\u2019s E.B.:\nOil is the foundation of the entire Gulf region. It would be economic suicide for these countries to cut production.\nGiant state-run oil companies continue to pump because oil is about the only thing these countries produce. This is why global oil production is still near record highs even though the price of oil has been cut in half. Many oil-rich countries have actually increased production.\nGlobal oil output reached the highest level in at least 25 years in 2014, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.\nGlobal oil supplies remain near record highs despite the huge drop in the price of oil. Russia, the world\u2019s third-largest oil producer, has actually increased its oil output this year. And oil supplies in the U.S. remain far above five-year averages.\n\u2022 Moving along, the world\u2019s largest shipping company says the global economy is in worse shape than it looks...\nA.P. M\u00f8ller-M\u00e6rsk A/S (AMKAF), also known as Maersk, is the world\u2019s largest container shipping company. It moves about 15% of all the consumer goods shipped around the world. This is why many investors consider it a bellwether for global trade...\nLast week, the company reported a 61% drop in profits for the third quarter. It also said it was eliminating 4,000 jobs. The massive layoffs will cut Maersk\u2019s global workforce by 17%. The company also canceled orders for several new ships.\nMaersk\u2019s CEO, Nils Smedegaard Andersen, says he had to make the cuts because the global economy is stalling.\nWe believe that global growth is slowing down...Trade is currently significantly weaker than it normally would be under the growth forecasts we see.\nOn October 6, the International Monetary Fund lowered its global GDP forecast from 3.3% to 3.1%.\nThe organization also lowered its growth forecast for 2016 from 3.8% to 3.6%. Andersen thinks these new forecasts are still too optimistic.\n\u2022 Maersk\u2019s warning is the latest sign of a slowing global economy...\nChina, the world\u2019s second-largest economy, grew at its slowest pace since 2009 last quarter.\nMeanwhile, Brazil\u2019s currency, the real, has plummeted 32% against the U.S. dollar over the past year.\nAnd the country\u2019s stock market has crashed. iShares MSCI Brazil Capped ETF, which tracks 85% of Brazilian stocks, is down 35% this year.\nOn top of that, South Korea, a country many investors consider a \u201ccanary in the coal mine\u201d for the global economy, recently reported a huge decline in exports.\nThe slowing global economy is a huge problem for Maersk and other shipping companies that move consumer goods. But there\u2019s one segment of the shipping industry that\u2019s booming despite the economic slowdown...\n\u2022 Oil shipping companies haven\u2019t made this much money in over seven years...\nOil shipping companies move oil from one port to another. These companies make money based on how much oil they move. Their rates are not directly tied to the price of oil.\nRight now, the industry is booming because the world is flooded with oil. All that oil has to go somewhere\u2026and it\u2019s the oil shippers\u2019 job to move it from sellers to buyers.\nShipping rates for oil tankers have doubled in the past 18 months. Bloomberg Business reports that rates hit a seven-year high last month.\nDay rates for ships delivering Saudi Arabian crude to Japan, a benchmark route, reached $106,381 on Oct. 5, the most since July 2008, data from the Baltic Exchange in London showed. That\u2019s about 10 times more than operators need to cover daily running costs including crew, repairs and insurance, according to estimates from Moore Stephens, an industry consultant.\nE.B. Tucker, editor of The Casey Report, thinks oil-shipping rates will stay high as long as there\u2019s a surplus of oil. He also thinks owning an oil shipping company is the best way to profit from the global oil glut.\nE.B. recently told readers of The Casey Report about his favorite oil tanker company. The company has one of the largest and newest fleets in the world. It\u2019s also paying a 13% annualized dividend.\nYou can get in on this investment with us by taking a risk-free trial of The Casey Report.

The BDI measures the price of shipping raw materials such as steel, coal, and copper. The index accounts for 23 different shipping routes and four ship sizes.\nMany analysts think the BDI is one of the most important economic indicators in the world.\nIn February, the BDI sunk to its lowest point since 1985. The index rebounded a little in the spring before crashing again over the summer.\nToday, the BDI is down 95% from its 2008 high. Meanwhile, the shipping rates for oil tankers recently hit an eight-year high.\nWHEN FINANCIAL MARKETS MISREAD POLITICS / PROJECT SYNDICATE\n| Etiquetas: Brazil, Financial Markets, Turkey\nCAMBRIDGE \u2013 When Turkey\u2019s Justice and Development Party (AKP) defied pundits and pollsters by regaining a parliamentary majority in the country\u2019s general election on November 1, financial markets cheered. The next day, the Istanbul stock exchange rose by more than 5%, and the Turkish lira rallied.\nNever mind that one would be hard pressed to find anyone in business or financial circles these days with a nice thing to say about Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan or the AKP that he led before ascending to the presidency in 2014. And make no mistake: Though Turkey\u2019s president is supposed to be above party politics, Erdo\u011fan remains very much at the helm.\nIndeed, it was Erdo\u011fan\u2019s divide-and-rule strategy \u2013 fueling religious populism and nationalist sentiment, and inflaming ethnic tension with the Kurds \u2013 that carried the AKP to victory.\nArguably, it was the only strategy that could work. After all, his regime has alienated liberals with its attacks on the media; business leaders with its expropriation of companies affiliated with his erstwhile allies in the so-called G\u00fclen movement; and the West with its confrontational language and inconsistent stance on the Islamic State.\nAnd yet financial markets, evidently placing a premium on stability, hailed the outcome. A majority AKP government, investors apparently believed, would be much better than the likely alternative: a period of political uncertainty, followed by a weak and indecisive coalition or minority administration. But, in this case, there was not much wisdom in crowds.\nIt is true that the AKP had a few good years after first coming to power in late 2002. But the party\u2019s room for mischief was constrained by the European Union and the International Monetary Fund abroad and secularists at home. Once those limits were removed, Erdo\u011fan\u2019s governments embraced economic populism and authoritarian politics. Investors\u2019 apparent optimism following the AKP\u2019s victory recalls Einstein\u2019s definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome.\nTurkey certainly isn\u2019t the only case where financial markets have misread a country\u2019s politics.\nConsider Brazil, whose currency, the real, has been hammered since mid-2014 \u2013 much worse than most other emerging-market currencies \u2013 largely because of a major corruption scandal unfolding there. Prosecutors have revealed a wide-ranging kickback scheme centered on the state-owned oil company Petrobras and involving executives, parliamentarians, and government officials. So it may seem natural that financial markets have been spooked.\nYet the most important outcome of the scandal has been to highlight the remarkable strength, not weakness, of Brazil\u2019s legal and democratic institutions. The prosecutor and judge on the case have been allowed to do their job, despite the natural impulse of President Dilma Rousseff\u2019s government to quash the investigation. And, from all appearances, the probe has been following proper judicial procedures and has not been used to advance the opposition\u2019s political agenda.\nBeyond the judiciary, a slew of institutions, including the federal police and the finance ministry, have taken part and worked in synch. Leading businessmen and politicians have been jailed, among them the former treasurer of the ruling Workers\u2019 Party.\nFinancial markets are supposed to be forward-looking, and many economists believe that they allocate resources in a way that reflects all available information. But an accurate comparison of Brazil\u2019s experience with that of other emerging-market economies, where corruption is no less a problem, would, if anything, lead to an upgrade of Brazil\u2019s standing among investors.\nGoing back to Turkey, leaked recordings of telephone conversations have directly implicated Erdo\u011fan and his family, along with several government ministers, in a hugely lucrative corruption ring involving trade with Iran and construction deals. It is an open secret that government procurement is being used to enrich politicians and their business cronies. From all indications, corruption reaches higher and is more widespread than in Brazil.\nBut today it is the police officers who led the corruption probe against Erdo\u011fan who are in jail. Some of the media outlets that supported the probe have been closed down and taken over by the government.\nThe AKP argues that the police officers are adherents of the G\u00fclen movement and that the investigation was politically motivated, aiming to unseat Erdo\u011fan. Both claims are most likely true.\nBut neither justifies the blatant lawlessness with which the AKP government has clamped down on the corruption allegations. The upshot is that Turkey\u2019s institutions, unlike Brazil\u2019s, are being captured and corrupted to an extent that will hamper economic growth and development for years to come.\nNor is Turkey the only country where large-scale corruption is left unchecked. In Malaysia, Prime Minister Najib Razak has been at the center of a major political scandal since nearly $700 million in unaccounted funds was found in his bank accounts. Billions of dollars are said to be missing from the government investment fund 1MDB, which Najib controlled. Najib has promised a full reckoning, but he has sacked Malaysia\u2019s attorney general, who was investigating 1MDB.\nIn Latin America, Argentina and Mexico both rank among the bottom half of countries in controlling corruption and maintaining transparency \u2013 much lower than Brazil. The dramatic abduction and gruesome killing in 2014 of 43 students north of Mexico City is only the latest example of collusion among the country\u2019s criminal gangs, police, and politicians.\nWe know from painful experience that financial markets\u2019 short-term focus and herd behavior often lead them to neglect significant economic fundamentals. We should not be surprised that the same characteristics can distort markets\u2019 judgment of countries\u2019 governance and political prospects.\nRead more at https://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/markets-misread-erdogan-victory-by-dani-rodrik-2015-11#5BuL7S2vGsSQrKqq.99\nTHE $630 TRILLION DERIVATIVES MARKET: A SNOWFLAKE AWAY FROM COMPLETE MELTDOWN? / SEEKING ALPHA\n| Etiquetas: Derivatives\nThe $630 Trillion Derivatives Market: A Snowflake Away From Complete Meltdown?\nby: IP Banking Research\n- The over-the-counter derivative market is huge on a notional contract basis and is dominated by large cap universal banks.\n- Some investors perceive this as a \"black swan\" event risk that one day will potentially wipe out the capital of the whole banking system.\n- Are those fears grounded in reality or is it just misguided interpretation by not so well-informed investors?\n- In this article, I will endeavor to tackle this question heads on.\nAlbert Einstein once commented:\nIf the facts don't fit the theory. Change the facts.\nWhen it comes to the OTC derivatives market, the headline size in excess of $600 Trillion dollar seems to downright frighten some investors. Perhaps it's the sheer size of the market coupled with somewhat fresh memories of Lehman Brothers collapse and AIG (NYSE:AIG) mishaps - it seems to me though, that some investors prefer to ignore the facts and readily believe that the derivatives market will be the culprit for the next financial crisis.\nIn a recent and popular editor's pick article named \"Deutsche Bank: Just A Snowflake Away\" - the author focused on the risks apparent with Deutsche Bank's (NYSE:DB) 52 Trillion euro notional derivative exposure as of the end of 2014. The author than explains that he is shorting the stock on that basis and as a hedge against a black swan event. For many unsophisticated investors (who are not banking experts), the article reads really well - in fact, if I didn't understand the facts either I might have joined the author in shorting the stock (as some other commenters seem to have done).\nThe issue with the article though, is that the author is not an expert on derivatives (self-admittedly so) and thus perhaps inadvertently, largely misinterpreted the facts and associated risks.\nAdditionally, in my most recent Citigroup (NYSE:C) article, one of the readers noted the followings:\nI haven't looked at the Derivative pile in a while. Last I did it was about $750 Trillion of notional paper. We presume the vast majority of that is hedged/offset, although the credit side of it cannot be fully hedged ( the round robin argument, for example, is how do you assign a credit risk to Citi as a counter-party when you don't know what Citi is \"worth\"?). Even if we assume as little as 10% of the $750 Trillion is naked (no, nobody would EVER do that...would they?) and then we assume even that 10% of that 10% fails due to some unknown event, guess what? The entire bank industry capital is wiped out...and then some!\nThat is the sort of risk thinking which you need to apply to these zombie banks in order to understand why they trade at \"arguably\" cheap valuations.\nThe views articulated above are not uncommon and even the pros seem to reinforce these - for example, in a 2013 Time magazine piece, the author suggested that \"derivatives may be the biggest risk for the global economy\" - essentially running similar arguments to above.\nClearly, many believe the risks of \"big numbers\" derivatives will come home to roost one day and that the banks that generate the lion share of notional derivatives contracts [including JP Morgan (NYSE:JPM), Citigroup, Bank of America (NYSE:BAC), DB, HSBC (NYSE:HSBC), Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS), Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) and Barclays (NYSE:BCS)] are therefore not investable.\nAre these fears grounded in reality or just a tempest in a tea cup?\nLet's delve into the detail.\nThe Global OTC Derivatives market\nThe Bank for International Settlements (BIS) periodically releases OTC markets' statistics - as of the end of 2014, their report revealed the followings:\nA few explanations relating to above charts:\nThe left-most chart represents the 'scary' number of $630 Trillion of notional principal derivatives contracts.\nThe middle chart represents a snapshot of gross market values(in other words, gross sum of mark-to-market of existing derivatives contracts). This is a fraction of the notional exposure that people fear so much.\nThe right-most chart reflects the gross credit exposure post netting of legally-enforceable bilateral contracts\nSo the net exposure after netting is just over $3 Trillion (that is assuming all market counterparties one deals with actually default).\nBut what about collateral?\nMost OTC derivatives contracts are governed by a master agreement published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA). In the majority of cases, ISDA also includes a Collateral Securities Agreement (CSA) that governs the posting of collateral by the parties to the contract. As such, if the mark-to-market of a contract moves adversely than the affected party must post collateral (typically in the form of cash or other marketable securities). Hedge funds for example, are typically required to provide a margin security upfront.\nISDA, in a June 2013 report, highlights the followings impact of collateralization:\nConsidering December 2012, figures - the gross credit exposure (after netting) is estimated to be $3.6 Trillion. However, once collateral posted is included the gross credit exposure further reduces to 1.1 Trillion.\nIn the same report as above, ISDA highlights losses (Credit exposure only) made by U.S. banks in 2007-2011.\nNote that the Lehman exposure is reflected in the 2008 numbers whereas $1.6 billion exposure to monoline has been included in the 2011 figures - clearly, not material amount to the industry.\nExplaining interest rate swaps\nAs can be seen from above, more than 80% of the notional derivatives contracts relate to interest rates derivatives. A simple example of that, is a plain vanilla interest rate swap - where counterparty A may be paying LIBOR + 1% to counterparty B, who in turn pays counterparty A a fixed 2% periodic payments. The agreement will be based on a notional amount, say $1 billion and typically, the parties may hedge their interest rate risk with another counterparty or simply seek to hedge an underlying exposure. Should there be a significant move up in interest rates, than it is probable that counterparty A will need to post collateral (given its variable payments over life of the contract will increase).\nThere is really nothing controversial with these type of OTC derivatives and are part and parcel of the efficient operations of capital markets. These form the lion share of the OTC derivatives markets (over 80%).\nHow about the regulators?\nTo think that in today's intrusive banking regulation environment - the powers to be would allow such a ticking bomb of an exposure (as some would have you think), sounds rather naive to me. In fact, Basel III specifically deals with counterparty risks (by increasing capital requirements) and further incentivizes the use of clearing houses for derivatives trading (by specifying lower capital charges compared with uncleared derivatives).\nFinally, the banks themselves actively monitor and manage their market and counterparty risks - there are very large middle and back-office teams in banks that daily value these exposures and ensure any credit and market risks are within well-defined limits.\nEvidently the OTC derivatives market is not very well-understood by ordinary investors. It is important to note that the large reported notional exposures are just that (large notional numbers) and have very limited relational connection to actual risks.\nIn fact, when I consider the investment case in the large cap banking space - I am much more concerned with the good old credit cycle as opposed to losing sleep over notional derivatives numbers.\nIN THE LONG SHADOW OF THE GREAT RECESSION / THE FI...\nOOPS THE FEDS DID IT AGAIN -- ARE THEY SETTING UP ...\nGERMANY LOSES KEY ALLY IN PORTUGAL AS AUSTERITY RE...\nPARIS ATTACKS SUGGEST SHIFT IN ISLAMIC STATE\u00b4S STR...\nWHAT TO EXPECT AFTER NOV. 13 PARIS ATTACKS / STRAT...\nTHE GLOBAL ECONOMY IS IN WORSE SHAPE THAN YOU THIN...\nWHEN FINANCIAL MARKETS MISREAD POLITICS / PROJECT ...\nTHE $630 TRILLION DERIVATIVES MARKET: A SNOWFLAKE ...",

        "raw_content": "The media recently has been playing up Colin Kaepernick\u2019s refusal to stand during the national anthem before a preseason football game. Many people are pissed off with him for not standing and some are showing support for his right to express his views. This is what\u2019s great about America, the freedom to show how you feel. Some countries you aren\u2019t able to do so and that my fellow Americans is what makes \u2018America Great\u2019 still. Not the stupid slogan of Donald Trump saying \u201clet\u2019s make America Great Again\u201d. That statement if you read behind the lines is saying \u2018let\u2019s make America White Again\u2019 to many people.\nNow back to Kaep for not standing and making people around the country mad. First off it\u2019s his right to express how he feels on what\u2019s going on in this country. Let\u2019s face it, there are many problems in this country and it feels like the politicians in Washington are ignoring the bigger issues that we face. Kaep picked the biggest stage to show what and how he feels, in the NFL. It doesn\u2019t matter what color you are, if you are not white in this country many feel they don\u2019t get a fair shake and feel mistreated. Many people have shown support for his actions and it didn\u2019t hurt that his jersey sales on the NFL website has sky rocketed.\nThe other part of the American people especially some of those who have served for this country feel very much offended. They feel he doesn\u2019t know what he\u2019s talking about or even know what it feels like to serve for America. That he\u2019s a spoiled athlete making millions while we have soldiers serving this country all over the world and protecting our freedoms. You have seen many people burn his jersey on the net and saying why they don\u2019t support his actions. They as well, have the right to express how they feel about him and his actions because this is America and you can too.\nNow the final analysis of this is merely my opinion. I don\u2019t agree with his actions, but I do think we have a problem with how people of color are treated in America. Prejudice and racism is a big problem; one I think will most likely never change because people are just too uneducated on many levels. I think he could\u2019ve picked a better platform for his actions, but at the same time it was the best platform to make a statement. Some say he\u2019s an overrated QB in the NFL and doing this trying to somehow revive his career that is slowly fading. Time will tell if his actions will cost his NFL career, but either way he\u2019s action brought the attention that minorities are not treated fairly in this country. Remember everyone this country was built by immigrants and we all have \u2018Freedom of Expression\u2019 in this \u2018Great America\u2019.\nTags: Colin Kaepernick, Freedom of expression, freedom of expression for some, Kaepernick sitting during anthem, NFL, rights for some but not all, San Francisco 49ers, Stand for the flag, US Armed forces, US national athem\nPrevious One Teaspoon of Aloe Daily Reverses Signs of Skin Aging\nNext \u201cCuffing Season\u201d and Why the Dating Game Sucks in 2016",

        "raw_content": "By Puskar On July 6, 2018 July 6, 2018 In News Tagged Electric Vehicles, Environmental News\nItaly eyes 1-million electric car target by 2022: Italy, which is reportedly Europe\u2019s most sluggish market for these vehicles, plans to put out to over 1 million electric cars on its roads by 2022. However, analysts are of the view that move might set the company back by $10 million. Apart from the costs, the company would have to offer massive tax incentives to help the demand pick up, like the case with the Norway government. Despite its commitment to the target, the Italian government is yet to release guidelines about how it plans to switch to electric cars. Without a clear vision, it might be difficult for the country to implement the plan with infrastructural development being one of the biggest obstacles to the plan.\nTesla to charge for premium web connectivity: Elon Musk-owned Tesla would start charging its customers for premium internet connectivity services from July 1 onwards. However, its standard connectivity services would continue to be free till the time a person uses a Tesla car. This means that basic facilities like GPS, navigation and maps still remain free for Tesla customers but for anything high-end, people will have to pay more. People who buy a Tesla car before the July 1 deadline will be able to avail the premium service for free.\nElon Musk buys $11.6-billion shares of Tesla: Tesla Inc\u2019s chief executive officer recently bought over 72,500 shares of the automobile company\u2019s common stock for a sum of $11.6 billion. The information was revealed by a regulatory filing and these stocks were bought in multiple transaction between intial prices of $342.44 and $347.44. Musk is already the biggest shareholder in the company and now is in control of over 34 million shares.\nAuto giants bet big on wireless charging: As electric and hybrid vehicles gain more traction because of their abilities to cut down on carbon emissions and costs, automobile companies are on the lookout for new technologies to make countries\u2019 switch to electric cars more seamless. This is precisely why wireless or inductive charging is touted to be the next big thing in the electric car segment. Experts believe that a wireless charging standard would break down barriers associated with electric cars and make them more accessible. Porsche is offering the wireless charging option with its new Mission E sedan. Not to be left behind, BMW has also announced an inductive charging option for its 530e hybrid.\nRising demand of electric vehicles may lead to cobalt shortage, say analysts: Analysts said that the rising popularity of electric and hybrid vehicles might lead to a shortage of cobalt, used to manufacture rechargeable batteries for these cars, worldwide by mid-2020s. Experts also said that mining companies might move out of Africa in search of copper reserves to meet the rising demand for the metal. Its crunch might stall the rising growth of the electric vehicle sector. The Democratic Republic of Congo supplies nearly two-thirds of the cobalt to the world as a byproduct of its vast copper mines.\nGovt to tweak CAFE norms to spur investment in the electric car industry? The Union government is mulling changing the 2022 Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) guidelines to boost investment in the electric vehicle industry. A report mooting the proposal was reportedly submitted by the Union ministry of road transport to the Niti Aayog. As per the CAFE norms, automobile companies are required to manufacture cars which are 10% more fuel efficient between 2017 and 2022 and 30% more fuel efficient after 2022. The guidelines officially came into effect April 1, 2017 onwards. The tweaking of these rules is expected to galvanize investments in the hybrid car sector.\nStreet lamps as charging points for Dublin\u2019s electric car: Soon, electric car drivers around Dublin will be able to charge their fuel-efficient four-wheelers by plugging into street lamps. Started on a pilot basis, Dun Laoghaire Rathdown city council (DLR) would be the first local administration to allow the street lamps to be used as charging points for hybrid cars. To be trialled in south Dublin, the move is likely to affect people whose homes do not allow easy charging options like the one with front gardens or driveways or even terraced homes and where charging cables cannot be extended across large distances. Europe has seen many such pilot projects being launched in the last year and two. The installation of charging points is expected to be completed within two months\u2019 time and the local administration would see to it that the points get an unrestricted metered power supply. It would also ensure that these charging points do not impede commuting on footpaths in the area.\nBYD eyes 5k electric buses in India every year: Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer BYD plans to manufacture over 5,000 hybrid buses in India every year in collaboration with its Indian partner Goldstone Infratech by March 2021. The company also plans to increase its content localization to 70%. Goldstone Infratech and BYD recently unveiled its new range of electric vehicle. The Chinese giants plans to make India its manufacturing hub for electric vehicles for exporting to South Asian nations. The company will export five of these buses to Nepal for the price of Rs 1.2 crore each before the electric buses hit Indian roads.",

        "raw_content": "I was talking to a friend of mine Marc about a new Asian-themed restaurant just opened in northern Scottsdale called Ten Asian Bistro. A quick browse through their website, I have spotted something that is not quite right. Under each item in the rollover menu, it has a corresponding character.\nFor someone that is not familiar with Chinese or Japanese, one might think the characters are actual translations of \u201chome\u201d, \u201cmenu\u201d, \u201cgeneral info\u201d, and so on.\nThese are random characters that are there to give the website an \u201cAsian\u201d feel. Especially when \u6f84 is used for both \u201chome\u201d, \u201cd\u00e9cor\u201d, \u6b3d for \u201cgeneral info\u201d and \u201creservations\u201d.\nRecently in Phoenix New Times, Stephen Lemons wrote this about another Scottsdale restaurant called Ippei Japanese Bistro:\n\u201cIppei general manager Justin Cohen would not allow any photos of his restaurant's food. His lack of confidence is telling\u2026 Ippei aims to be destination dining, but it is not there yet. As of now, I'd rather do the five or six hours via car to L.A. But if you're in Ippei's vicinity, you could do worse. After all, both McGrath's Fish House and the White Chocolate Grill share the same complex.\u201d\nI was about to post this, then I got an email from Igor with this photo of a Japanese restaurant he visited.\nhttp://flickr.com/photos/ushkarev/197491685/\nWhat are those characters in the left plaque? It could be due to poor lighting, but doesn\u2019t the chef appears to be more Hispanic than Japanese?\nDomo Arigato, Senor Avocado San.\nP.s. Do not even get me started on the establishment known as P. F. Chang\u2019s.\nalirose August 4, 2006 at 8:21 PM\nThe top one of left-hand side painting in the Japanese resturant could be \u4ea6... But its really bad none the less... but that's about what I have grown to expect at Japanese resturants. I had a friend who was a hostest at a \"Japanese\" resturant while she was taking Japanese 101 and she was the only one who knew any Japanese not on the menu since most of the staff were mexican and Chinese (she was Chinese as well).\nThe last character on the right-hand side of the photograph of the chef might be trying to be \u6b21, which would make the whole thing say \"~\u306e\u65c5\u6b21\" or \"Gibberish's hotel\".\nI'm guessing that similarity probably wasn't intentional, though.\nOh gosh..P.F. Chang. While living in Irvine, California, I made the mistake of going there once with my other Chinese friend. We both sat there staring at the food thinking, \"We're getting charged $15 for orange peel chicken? We could've gotten that in a 3 item combo for $4.50.\" Never again..\nMike August 5, 2006 at 10:08 AM\nThat looks like a teppanyaki restaurant. I can't recall a time when I've eaten at such a place and _not_ had a Latino chef.\nCan anyone tell me if the Chinese on this Mah Jong set's case is intelligible or is it just gibberish. I only know enough Chinese to be able to recognize the characters needed to play Mah Jong and Xiangqi. I would like to know if buying this Mah Jong set would be worth it or would it just get me laughed at by my Chinese friends?\nin response to the mahjong set question from anonymous. i wonder if some of it looks familiar:\nhttp://www.tian.cc/2005/04/philosophical-candle-holder.html\nwhy one would have commentated neo-ruist philosophy on the inside of one's mahjong case is beyond me. i also wonder if the pictures are illustrations of zhu xi's work. perhaps zhu xi is more exciting than i remembered him to be. worth another gander, i'm sure.\nOh no...the mall near my house is getting a PF Chang's. I hadn't even heard of the place until last month. How bad is it?\nI've eaten at PF Chang in Denver and near Philly and I think the food quality is excellent. A Japanese friend and I very much enjoyed our visit there, and she used to work at a restaurant in Japan.\nYou may be able to get cheaper food at your local ghetto Chinese restaurant, but it's going to be loaded up with salt and fat to please the locals. PF Chang's food is quite a bit better, but you pay for it.\nIf you have a good independant Chinese restaurant, by all means, support that, but if you don't, give it a try.\nJingai\nP.F. Chang's is okay as long as you go in there with the expectation that the food is far from authentic. The white rice, for example, isn't the least bit sticky. One of their \"secret sauces\" that they have at the table is Tobasco sauce. I've had friends refer to it as \"Panda Express in a nice setting\".\nIt's not the worst \"Asian\" (I use this term loosely in reference to P.F. Chang's) food that I've had, but it's certainly not the best. It's mediocre food with jacked up prices. There is almost always a family-owned Chinese restaurant around the corner that will give you twice the amount of food and twice the quality for less than half the price of P.F. Chang's.\nThe one reason I still visit P.F. Chang's occasionally is because they offer better vegetarian options than the rest of the major chain restaurants. It's useful for when you're with family or friends who are too scared to try the real thing (*points at my inlaws who had never heard of an egg roll until they met me*).\nWhy is white rice NEVER STICKY in the US??? Is it THAT hard to get it right?? Or would it just upset Americans' delicate \"Norleans\" palettes? No wonder Americans don't understand the concept of chopsticks.\nOne of the greatest tragedies inflicted upon the Washington DC restaurant scene in recent years has been the opening of a \"PauliMoto's Asian Bistro,\" nominally fronted by ex-Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto, but backed by a guy who used to run a PF Chang's in Florida. The food is inexcusably bad, even for fusion cuisine.\nBut probably the funniest thing I learned while reading up on the PauliMoto-P.F.Chang connection is that PF stands for...\"Paul Fleming\".\nIs he possibly the missing link in George Bush Sr.'s infamous urge to \"unleash Chang?\"\njf pilot August 9, 2006 at 6:45 PM\nI'm just a dumb Minnesota Yanguizi. I've only been taking Mandarin classes for a short time, so forgive me, but I absolutely don't recognize the hanzi for Ten (shi 2) shown on the restaurant website. Could it be that the standard hanzi for 10 \"+\" didn't look \"Asian\" enough? Scary thought.\njf pilot,\nThat character shown is actually \u5929.\nAlan August 9, 2006 at 10:51 PM\nYes, \"ten\" is the Japanese reading of the character \u5929 so I guess that is where the name of the restaurant came from.\nWhy is white rice NEVER STICKY in the US??? Is it THAT hard to get it right??\nIt *is* sticky if you buy the right rice. Any self-respecting \"Asian\" restaurant would have it.\nAs to why white rice in the US is not sticky in general, it's just the length of the grain and what was brought over from Europe combined with what's indigenous to the US. Short-grain rice is not commonly grown here, although Nishiki rice in the US *is* domestic.\nI can't say why a place like \"PF Chang\" wouldn't have sticky rice. Even Benihana has it.\nMy name is not \"Igor\".",

        "raw_content": "7 reasons diabetic are more prone to heart diseases\nCardiovascular disease (CVD) is the significant cause of morbidity and mortality in the diabetic population. The disease is multiplying due to the rising epidemic of obesity, increasing sedentary lifestyle and poor dietary habits. Diabetes is considered as a \u201cCoronary Disease Equivalent\u201d.\nPooja Bajaj, Senior Neurotherapist, AktivOrtho\nCVD is widespread among general population. Reports received from late 1990s indicate that CVD is the ultimate cause of death in adults (Murray & Lopez, 1997). It has been predicted that CVD will become the basic cause of disability in the world between years 2000-2025 (Murray & Lopez, 1997).\nIn the diabetic patients, cardiovascular disease (CVD) is characterized by the damage of small and large blood vesselsassociated with the development of diabetic retinopathy (eye damage), nephropathy (kidney damage), neuropathy (nerve damage) and atherosclerosis (thickening of blood vessels) causing hypertension.\nDiabetes is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, causing 2-4 folds increase in cardiovascular risk. Atherosclerosis is responsible for the 80% of deaths in diabetic patients. Diabetes is one of the most common chronic diseases in the world. It is estimated that this disease will affect more than 360 million persons by 2030 (Wild et al., 2004).\nWhy are people with diabetes prone to Cardiovascular Disease?\nDiabetes is controllable, but even with strict control it increases the risk of heart disease and stroke. That\u2019s because people with diabetes, particularly type 2 may have pre-existing, or post diabetic co morbidities which contribute to their risk for developing cardiovascular disease.\nGenetically there is an increased risk of heart disease in people with type 2 diabetes by more than a third. Diabetics who have familial history of heart disease are at greater risk of developing it.\nHypertension is the most important risk factor for cardiovascular disease. It accounts for approximately 47% of all is chaemic heart disease across the globe. The prevalence of hypertension in diabetic individuals appears to be around two fold than in the non diabetic population. Hypertension in the diabetic individual noticeably increases the risk and accelerates the course of cardiac disease, peripheral vascular disease, stroke, retinopathy, and nephropathy, causing atherosclerosis at a younger age and more severely than people without diabetes. This premature aging of blood vessels in diabetics probably plays a key role in the relatively high prevalence of hypertension and fluctuation of blood pressure in young diabetic individuals. Studies have shown that the insulin resistance can contribute to elevated blood pressure in obese individuals suffering from type II diabetes\nAbnormal cholesterol and high triglycerides\nElevated levels of triglycerides and LDL are recognised as prominent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Diabetes tends to decrease the\u201d good\u201d cholesterol and raise triglyceride and \u201cbad\u201d cholesterol levels, which increases the risk for heart disease and stroke. This condition is called as diabetic dyslipidaemia. The triad of poor lipid counts is also associated with the condition of premature coronary heart disease.\nObesity is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and has been strongly associated with insulin resistance, which means the free floating insulin is not utilised in type 2 obese diabetics due to excess of fat.With life style management and regular exercises one can improve insulin sensitivity thus preventing risk of cardiovascular disease.\nPhysical inactivity is an important another modifiable major risk factor for insulin resistance and cardiovascular disease. With right set of exercises with recommended intensity, frequency and duration one can prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes, reduce blood pressure and help to decrease the risk of heart attack and stroke. For overall cardiovascular health, the American Heart Association recommends:\n\u2013 At least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity at least 5 days per week for a total of 150\n\u2013At least 25 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity at least 3 days per week for a total of 75 minutes; or a combination of moderate-and vigorous-intensity aerobic activity\n\u2013Moderate-to high-intensity muscle-strengthening activity at least 2 days per week for additional health benefits.\nPoorly controlled blood sugars (too high) or out of normal range\nDiabetes can cause blood sugar to rise to dangerous levels, which affects the heart by causing the endothelial dysfunction. Endothelial cells play major role in maintaining the cardiovascular harmony. Studies have confirmed that acute hyperglycemia (increased sugar levels) is common among patients with acute myocardial infarction. Good medicinal control with lifestyle management is needed to manage blood sugar.\nThe health hazards caused by smoking are well known. It is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. In diabetics it accelerates the development and progression of heart disease by increasing insulin resistance. Thus, smoking cessation is an important aspect of preventing and treating heart disease.\nNow a day, the Non Communicable Disease and particularly the cardiovascular disease are the main causes of mortality worldwide. Being these consequence of a high prevalence of the major risk factors that have been related to their development, within the tobacco consumption, alcohol consumption, physical inactivity, unhealthy diet, overweight and obesity, arterial hypertension and high blood cholesterol and glucose levels are the leading ones, which also constitute the important risk factors for the development of other non communicable disease.\nInputs by Pooja Bajaj, Senior Neurotherapist, AktivOrtho\nRelated Items:Cardiovascular Disease, Coronary Disease Equivalent, CVD, Diabetes, heart diseases\nScreening in diabetes is important\nDiabetes can impair the body\u2019s ability to adjust to rising temperatures\nWe3Health \u2013 Helping you keep a track of your neonates\u2019 health on a real time basis\nSRV Hospital Initiates CPR Training To Auto Rickshaw Drivers",

        "raw_content": "Welcome to He Do the Police in Different Voices, a website for exploring voices in T. S. Eliot\u2019s The Waste Land. This site takes its name from Eliot\u2019s evocative working title for his poem. Following the lead presented by this title, this site is a resource for exploring fundamental questions about The Waste Land: How many voices are there in the poem? How do these voices differ from one another? Where do the voices switch? Do some voices return? Is there an overarching narrator who \u201cdoes\u201d all these voices, or are they independent of one another?\nThe site is divided into three main sections. The first of these sections, \u201cWhat the Class Said,\u201d presents the answers to some of these questions as arrived at by the Fall 2011 section of the University of Toronto undergraduate English course, \u201cThe Digital Text.\u201d Through a combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches, including polling and TEI encoding, the class settled upon a preliminary hypothesis about how many voices there are in the poem, where they switch, and where they return.\nThis hypothesis is tested using purely quantitative methods in the second section, \u201cWhat the Computer Said.\u201d This section presents our efforts to develop an algorithm for automatically detecting voice-switches in The Waste Land, and allows visitors to compare what counts as a \"voice switch\" for a computer and a human.\nThe third section, \u201cHave Your Own Say,\u201d allows you to provide your own reading of the poem\u2019s voices. Here, in a two-step process, you can indicate every place where you believe one voice gives way to another, and then assign a particular identity to each selected chunk of dialogue. (In the near future, you will be able to listen the poem read to you according to your chosen vocal divisions.) Your input in this section is invaluable, and will be incorporated into future research.\nIf you wish to learn more the project and its creators\u2014or about Eliot, The Waste Land, and its voices\u2014please see the \u201cAbout\u201d section.\nDevelopment of this site is ongoing.

Typically bricks are stacked together, or laid as brickwork using various kinds ofmortar to hold the bricks together and make a permanent structure. Bricks are typically produced in common or standard sizes in bulk quantities. They have been regarded as one of the longest lasting and strongest building materials used throughout history. In the general sense, a \"brick\" is a standard-sized weight-bearing building unit. Bricks are laid in horizontal courses, sometimes dry and sometimes with mortar. When the term is used in this sense, the brick might be made from clay, lime-and-sand, concrete, or shaped stone. In a less clinical and more colloquial sense, bricks are made from dried earth, usually from clay-bearing subsoil. In some cases, such as adobe, the brick is merely dried. More commonly it is fired in a kiln of some sort to form a true ceramic. A seashell or sea shell, also known simply as a shell, is a hard, protective outer layer created by an animal that lives in the sea. The shell is part of the body of the animal. Empty seashells are often found washed up on beaches by beachcombers. The shells are empty because the animal has died and the soft parts have been eaten by another animal or have rotted out. Apart from mollusk shells, other...\nChapter 1 Coconut Fiber as an Additive in Making Bricks Essay\n...used in making Bricks CHAPTER 1: THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Background of the Study The coconut palm, Cocos nucifera, is a member of the family Arecaceae (palm family). It is the only accepted species in the genus Cocos. In this research we use Coconut coir to make bricks. Coconut Coir is a natural fiber extracted from the husk of coconut. Technically, coir is the fibrous material found between the hard, internal shell and the outer coat of a coconut. They are pale when immature, but later become hardened and yellowed as a layer of lignin is deposited on their walls. The coir fiber is relatively waterproof, and is one of the few natural fibers resistant to damage by saltwater. Fresh water is used to process brown coir, while seawater and fresh water are both used in the production of white coir. Coir is naturally rich in Potassium, which can lead to Magnesium deficiencies in soilless horticultural media. We do a research about bricks because we knew that the usual bricks that are sold on hardware, depot are expensive, that\u2019s why we think of an material like coconut fiber that can be an additive material in making bricks. It is useful in construction of houses, landscaping, and laying out pathways on gardens, yard and resort.

Background of the Study Many researchers said that Golden Apple Snails are from South America. Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay are the first place, which Golden Apple Snails have come from. And it was exported by South America countries to Asia. They thought that Golden Apple Snails were a great source of protein for farmers who only ate rice. So it was exported to Vietnam first, and transported to the Philippines. There were many farmers using chemicals like pesticides for removing Golden Apple Snails in the Philippines.Pesticide is a great effective killer for Golden Apple Snails.Even though pesticides are effective killer for Golden Apple Some bricks now are not that durable anymore. More durable bricks now are really expensive. With the use of golden apple snails\u2019 shells as the primary component of brick, bricks will be more durable and will be much cheaper than the other bricks.

        "raw_content": "Read: 1993 Mar 05, Aqdas Introduction Letter\nThe Kitab-i-Aqdas -- the Book described in such exalted terms by the Guardian of the Cause of God as \"that priceless treasury enshrining for all time the brightest emanations of the mind of Baha'u'llah, the Charter of His World Order, the chief repository of His laws, the Harbinger of His Covenant, the Pivotal Work containing some of His noblest exhortations, weightiest pronouncements, and portentous prophecies, and revealed during the full tide of His tribulations, at a time when the rulers of the earth had definitely forsaken Him\" -- this Most Holy Book, we have the honour to announce, will, in a copiously annotated English translation, be released to the Community of Baha at Naw-Ruz.\nBaha'u'llah's own designation of the book -- the \"Unerring Balance\", the \"Straight Path\", the \"Quickener of mankind\", the \"Source of true felicity\" -- indicate its phenomenal importance, an importance which staggers the mind when viewed in light of the realization that this Book is, in the words of Shoghi Effendi, the \"principal repository of that Law which the Prophet Isaiah had anticipated, and which the writer of the Apocalypse had described as the 'new heaven' and the 'new earth,' as 'the Tabernacle of God,' as the 'Holy City,' as the 'Bride,' the 'New Jerusalem coming down from God'\". Such metaphors of hope have been recited from sacred scriptures down the ages, have fired the imagination and excited the expectations of unnumbered generations, and now, at long last, in this new Dispensation, have been given tangible form by the Promised One of All Ages in this Mother Book of His Revelation.\nThe publication of the Book in English satisfies a major goal of the Six Year Plan. But even beyond this, it initiates the fulfillment of a prospect voiced by 'Abdu'l-Baha, Who anticipated its publication in various languages; it realizes an intention cherished by Shoghi Effendi, who had himself translated substantial portions of it into English which he diffused through his letters and in his compilations of Baha'u'llah's Writings, and who had also, \"as an essential prelude to the eventual translation and publication of its entire text\", initiated steps in 1955 for the preparation of a Synopsis and Codification of the Laws of the Kitab-i-Aqdas. This was a task on which he made considerable progress and which was completed by the Universal House of Justice in 1973, on the hundredth anniversary of the revelation of the Book which occurred, as Shoghi Effendi confirmed, \"soon after Baha'u'llah had been transferred to the house of 'Udi Khammar (circa 1873), at that time when He was still encompassed by the tribulations that had afflicted Him, through the acts committed by His enemies and the professed adherents of His Faith\".\nThe accessibility to Western readers of the Kitab-i-Aqdas in full authorized text, for the first time in one of their major languages, enormously extends the sphere of its influence, opening wider the door to a vast process of individual and community development which must certainly exert an increasingly powerful, transformative effect on peoples and nations as the Book is translated further into other languages. That the English edition of this highly treasured and incalculably potent work should appear now amid the welter of a world at odds with itself is a demonstration of confidence in the ultimate emergence of a peaceful, civilized, global society. That it should be published during the period of the centenary of both the Ascension of its divine Author and the inauguration of His Covenant amplifies the striking impact, already felt, of the Holy Year which marks so important an anniversary.\nA Book of such indescribable holiness is itself a symbol of the incomparable greatness of the Revelation of Baha'u'llah and is, indeed, a potent reminder of the high respect which is due to all that has flowed from His prodigious, truth-bearing pen. Let the friends of God ever be mindful of its exalted rank among the sacred texts of the Faith; treasure it as the bread of life; regard possession of it as a sacred honour, as a priceless legacy from the Pen of the Most High, as a source of God's greatest bounty to His creatures; place their whole trust in its provisions; recite its verses; study its contents; adhere to its exhortations; and thus transform their lives in accordance with its divine standard.\nLet us rejoice. Let us be filled with the felicitous spirit evoked in the Blessed Beauty's own announcement of the Mother Book of His Dispensation when He said: \"We announce unto everyone the joyful tidings concerning that which We have revealed in Our Most Holy Book -- a Book from above whose horizon the day-star of My commandments shineth upon every observer and every observed one.\" May we be such upholders of its laws and principles as to deserve His gloriously promised benediction: \"Blessed those who peruse it. Blessed those who apprehend it. Blessed those who meditate upon it. Blessed those who ponder its meaning. So vast is its range that it hath encompassed all men ere their recognition of it. Ere long will its sovereign power, its pervasive influence and the greatness of its might be manifested on earth. Verily, thy God is the All-Knowing, the All-Informed.\"",

        "title": "Triple XXX Root Beer | Homer Soda Company | Unique Glass Bottled Soda",
        "raw_content": "Triple XXX Root Beer in the glass-bottle.\n1895 saw the start of The Galveston Brewing Company at 34th and Post Office Street in Galveston, Texas. It was started byAnheuser-Busch along with some local investors.\nThe brewery had an estimated 10,000 barrels of its beer beverage. It was only sold locally under the name \u201cHi Grade.\u201d Its keg beer was packaged in steel banded barrels of oak which were marked with \u201cXXX\u201d.\n[edit]1900\u20131913\nWhen a storm hit Galveston Island, business was temporarily halted. The accompanying sea surge swept over the island, and 6,000 lives were lost.\nIn the wake of the disaster, The Galveston Brewing Company was one of the surviving commercial establishments. Galveston would rebuild and resume brewing Hi Grade beer for the locals. When 1903 hit, the City of Galveston constructed an elevated seawall along its beach front. The wall was built to protect the island from flooding in future hurricanes. The Galveston Brewing Company added another brand during the wall\u2019s construction. It was called \u201cSeawall Bond.\u201d It was created to commemorate the \u201cinvincible\u201d new Galveston Seawall. Shortly thereafter the brewery started an ice plant which had a daily output of 100 tons of \u201cpure crystal ice.\u201d By 1913 they constructed a bottling plant which adjoined the brewery with a capacity of 30,000 bottles a day.\nBetween 1900 and 1908, soft drink syrups started to be sold by The Galveston Brewing Company under the name \u201cXXX.\u201d At the time, the company\u2019s resident chemist developed a wide array of flavors, such as: root beer, ginger ale, strawberry, lemon-sour, lemon, orange, chocolate, cream soda, sarsaparilla, cream, grape, and apple-juice. The brand\u2019s United States Patent Office registration statement noted that the trademark had been continuously used since at least as early as April, 1908.\nIn 1916, the State of Texas acted to prohibit alcohol in advance of the looming enactment of the 18th amendment to the U.S. Constitution. This forced the closure of many breweries in the state including The Galveston Brewing Company. The owners of Galveston Brewing Company decided to re-organize the company thus changing the name from Galveston Brewing Company toSouthern Beverage Company. It would then change over its equipment to producing \u201cXXX\u201d soft drinks. The soft drinks were primarily ginger ale and root beer.\nIn 1918, the owners of Southern Beverage Company acquired an additional trademark for its \u201cXXX\u201d brand of soft drinks. Reflecting on the exuberance of the day, it seems that if \u201cXXX\u201d was good, then \u201cTriple XXX\u201d had to be, as the brand\u2019s new slogan proclaimed, \u201cThe Aristocrat of Them All\u201d! The company would then expand its horizons. They set their sights on targeting new territories. Thus, ten \u201coutside\u201d salesmen were hired. Throughout the next decade Southern Beverage Company experienced huge growth of the brand\u2019s sales volume and areas of distribution.\nIn 1923, licensed distributors of Southern Beverage Company included over 150 Triple XXX bottlers and approximately 100 Triple XXX \u201cThirst Stations.\u201d The locations included Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Florida, Alabama, Georgia,Virginia, Illinois, Indiana, Arizona, California, Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia.\nThe largest distributor of the brand outside of Texas was called A. H. Rutherford & Sons of Renton, Washington. The Rutherfords designed a unique \u201ctwin barrel\u201d for the Triple XXX root beer restaurants. The restaurants became popular along the west coast from southern California to Washington. Triple XXX restaurants were also operated in the Vancouver, British Columbia area.\nBy 1927, Southern Beverage Company decided to restructure and re-organize. Triple XXX Company was formed as the parent company and Triple XXX Bottling Company was kept as the company\u2019s local bottling plant. The parent company now known as Triple XXX Company kept expanding the brand well outside of the Galveston territory. By 1928, they added cola flavor to their line of soft drinks. Triple XXX cola was dispensed through barrels and put up in bottles as was Triple XXX Root Beer. Although cola was gaining popularity, root beer was still considered the favorite at that time.\nThe \u201cRoaring Twenties\u201d marked some of company\u2019s best years. By 1928, it was reported that Triple XXX Company employed 40 salesmen who covered distribution of Triple XXX soft drinks in 35 states. Even Mississippi steamers were licensed to sell Triple XXX root beer.\nA Seattle Triple XXX franchise in 1940\nAs the 1930s came along, many companies were hit hard and Triple XXX Company was one of them. Thus, it was re-organized under the original name of Galveston Beverage Company in 1932. The United States alcoholic beverage \u201cprohibition amendment\u201d was repealed the following year. Galveston Beverage Company would then merge withMagnolia Brewery in Houston. Shortly thereafter a new name was chosen for the company. The name chosen was Galveston-Houston Breweries, Incorporated. Thus the combined companies resumed brewing beer at both the Galveston and Houston breweries. \u201cSouthern Select\u201d was a new brand of beer was brewed and sold at its Galveston brewery while \u201cMagnolia\u201d beer was brewed and sold at its Houston brewery. The brewery still however brewed Triple XXX root beer and other types of soft drink syrups and flavors for its licensed soft drink bottlers, soda fountains, and Triple XXX \u201cThirst Stations\u201d.\nThe years that followed in the \u201cDirty Thirties\u201d were especially tough not only for the economy, but also on sugar rations due to theWorld War II years of 1941\u20131945. This most certainly contributed to the resulting thinned ranks of Triple XXX \u201cThirst Stations\u201d and Triple XXX soft drink bottlers and distributors. As the breweries were continuing to age, an ownership change would soon take place.\n[edit]1953\nBy 1953, the owner of Galveston-Houston Breweries, Incorporated was ready to settle down and retire. He willfully agreed to sell the company to the accountant and his long-time friend. The new owner had plans for the Triple XXX brand and the brewery itself. The friend then incorporated another company. The company was called Stenzel Corporation with hopes of purchasing. The name company name was called Galveston-Houston Breweries, Inc..\nA few years later Galveston-Houston Breweries, Inc. would sell off Galveston and Houston properties, equipment, and brand names to a larger company. The company who bought it was The Falstaff Brewing Corporation. The Falstaff Brewing Corporation would keep the Triple XXX brand while Southern Select and Magnolia production would be halted and discontinued all together.\nThe soft drink portion of Triple XXX was all that was remaining of the Galveston-Houston Breweries, Inc. after the sale. Thus, the company\u2019s name was changed yet again and this time it was changed Triple XXX Corporation and it became independent of its breweries roots as it did in the \u201cRoaring Twenties.\u201d\n[edit]Late 1950s\nIssaquah, Washingtonrestaurant, one of two remaining\nWith the unexpected death of the new owner, the company was struggling to hang on. It didn\u2019t help matters that in the late 1950s consumers were becoming enamored with fast food outlets. More and more Triple XXX \u201cThirst Stations\u201d were disappearing. As well, licensed bottlers were also being lost through attrition.\nThe widow of the deceased owner created a new management team. The agreement and manager saw the move of the headquarters to the Wright Dr. Pepper Bottling Company in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. However, the corporation\u2019s registered office remained in Houston. The new managers set about a vigorous program of calling on independent soft drink bottlers to obtain new franchisees for Triple XXX root beer.\n[edit]1960s\nWhen the 1960s came about, nobody saw the follow development occur. In 1960, United States Food and Drug Administration released a ruling that sassafras (oil of safrole) as a food and beverage ingredient was suspect as a carcinogen. Many items were no longer allowed to use it and that included root beer. Beverage companies were given a bit of time or a \u201cgrace period\u201d to re-formulate their root beer products.\nTriple XXX sought the help of an independent flavor laboratory in New Orleans. With the help of the laboratory, Triple XXX was able to retain its distinct flavor. But then came the problem of the foamy head characteristics of the root beer. To many it was irreplaceable. Sometime later, the chemist would search and find alternative ingredients that were close enough to produce the appearance of \u201cdraft style\u201d root beer. And most important for fans of Triple XXX root beer, its distinctive creamy root beer taste was preserved.\nIn 1962, the management group of Triple XXX Corporation was reporting progress. The claim was that 27 soft drink bottlers and fountain syrup distributors were a part of the franchise. But the number of bottlers were down, though reasons were not known. By the late 1960s, concerned Dr. Pepper bottlers who were also longtime franchisees for Triple XXX root beer proposed to the owner of Triple XXX Corporation that new ownership and management was needed in order to preserve the brand.\nIn 1969, the company\u2019s headquarters were relocated to Orange, Texas after controlling shares of the Triple XXX Corporation were bought by the Dr Pepper Bottling Company of Orange, Texas. After the purchase of the company, the new owner wanted preserve the production and distribution of Triple XXX root beer and flavors for its bottlers and fountain supply distributors.\nAt the time Triple XXX was still highly regarded as old time root beer. Also during that time, the development in the market was limited in many ways. It was limited to serving its existing bottlers and distributors. The Dr Pepper Bottling Company of Orange, Texas sold their Dr Pepper business to Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Beaumont. But with the sale of Dr Pepper, Triple XXX was not included. Now with the owner wanting to retire, he decided to pass the legacy onto a new owner. By this time the Triple XXX franchise roster had shrunk to 5 bottlers and 2 fountain drink distributors.\nIn 1978 another company bought the Triple XXX Corporation. The Lydick Corporation, Houston, Texas bought all related \u201cTriple XXX\u201d assets. This purchase included namely the registered trademarks, formulas, and franchises from the Triple XXX Corporation in Orange. After the sale of the Triple XXX Corporation (Galveston, Houston, and Orange), the company surrendered its corporate charter and name. The Lydick Corporation changed its name to Triple XXX Corporation, Houston, Texas.\nWith the new owners of the Triple XXX Corporation in place, it started an aggressive marketing campaign, franchising exclusive territorial distribution rights to the brand to a number of southwestern Coca-Cola and Dr Pepper/Seven-Up bottlers. Also updated was the packaging and advertising material. The new logo featured the Triple XXX root beer logo in red and yellow over a rich chocolate brown background, with red and yellow bands to highlight the top and bottom of the label. Using the sugary brand\u2019s appeal of the past, the phrase \u201cTastes like root beer used to taste\u201d was added to all packaging and promotional materials. The new logo design and slogan were unveiled at the 1979 National Soft Drink Association Exposition in Dallas.\nAlso during this time new promotional materials targeted at the consumer were developed. The three color theme was carried out for merchandising items such as posters, banners, shelf talkers, bottle neck ringers, and table display cards. The company also produced television and radio spots that aired in select markets. Promotional activities varied from market to market, and included dispensing free samples in chain stores, special feature pricing for holidays and weekend promotion periods, as well as distributing price-off coupons in local stores and newspapers. The distributors of the brand started selling root beer from special events tents and trailers at local events in their markets.\nAfter this hard marketing campaign, the results were promising. Present bottlers were retained and a new group of Coca-Cola and Dr Pepper bottlers were franchised. The number of franchises grew to 25 bottlers and syrup distributors. Geographically, the brand\u2019s packaged drink and fountain drink availability expanded into seven Central and Southwestern states.\nIn 1980, the soft drink industry changed dramatically. Faced with generation turnovers and potentially large investments to upgrade production equipment, longtime family-owned bottlers began merging or closing. Soft drink flavors were revised after these businesses combined. This development resulted in about 20 root beer brands competing for distribution through a declining number of soft drink bottling companies.\nThe consolidation trend accelerated through the 1980s and into the 1990s. The Triple XXX company recognized during the mid-1980s that there were not enough independent bottlers available to package the brand\u2019s root beer and ship it off directly to stores. By 1985, canning and bottling was halted, although fountain drink distribution continued through soda fountains and restaurants.\nThroughout the past decade, the number of independently owned soft drink bottlers declined through mergers and acquisitions. The decline was so bad that nearly all distribution territories in the United States were served by only three major brand soft drink bottlers, Coca-Cola, Pepsi-Cola and Dr Pepper/7-Up. Also, each cola company\u2019s parent franchise company developed or distributed their own root beer and the franchisees were only allowed to distribute that brand in their territories. That left the remaining independent root beer brands searching for viable alternate routes to market, quite a challenge.\n\u201cTriple XXX\u201d is featured in the Dr Pepper Museum and Free Enterprise Institute in Waco, Texas as a historic Texas soft drink brand. The brand\u2019s limited availability continues to generate frequent consumer inquiries and requests. Triple XXX root beer in 12 ounce glass bottles is sold online through its website, which has a link to its distributors. Only two Triple XXX root beer restaurants still exist, in West Lafayette, Indiana and Issaquah, Washington. The formula for the root beer and the trademark are currently owned by the Issaquah restaurant.[1]\n[edit]West Lafayette Triple XXX\nThe West Lafayette, Indiana Triple XXX store was opened in 1929 by Bert Wright and continues to operate as one of the only two Triple XXX restaurants in existence today. It also holds the distinction of being the first and oldest drive-in restaurant in Indiana. In its long history, the restaurant has had many owners, including Tom Comingore, Norm Karner, and even an investor group including Russell Tarter. Jack Ehresman, a longtime diner, was working as a dishwasher when he started asking the then-owner if he could purchase it, and eventually became the owner, along with his wife, Ruth Ehresman. Currently, it is owned by Greg and Carrie Ehresman, who took ownership of the establishment from Greg\u2019s parents, Jack and Ruth.[2]\nThere have been structural changes over the years as well. A second story was added in 1986\u20131987 along with a new roof, and seating has been increased to meet demand. However, The Ehresmans are quick to point out that the atmosphere remains the same, citing an iconic 35 year old Coca-Cola sign proudly displayed in the diner.[3]\nThe restaurant was featured on the Food Network program Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives during an episode which aired on August 4, 2007.[4] More recently, the restaurant was featured in a May 2009 Businessweek article showcasing America\u2019s longest-running restaurants.[5]",

GROW YOUR BUSINESS!\nIn every city, in every market, there are the plumbing, heating and air conditioning, or electrical companies that dominate their competition. Maybe there\u2019s a company in your city that consistently outperforms you and they\u2019re 25%, 35% even 50% more expensive than your business.\nYou\u2019ve probably asked yourself: Why do people spend so much money on companies that deliver the same kinds of services that you do? What kinds of processes and procedures have they implemented to make their business such a dominant force?\nWell guess what? Those dominant companies are NOT delivering the same services as you \u2013 their business model is fundamentally different than yours.\n\u200bChances are, they\u2019ve joined a contractor\u2019s group and are implementing good business practices in everything from the way they answer the phone, to the way their technicians dress and interact with homeowners, to the way they price their services. Every one of these businesses has probably dropped \u201ctime and material\u201d method of pricing in favor of menu-pricing or \u201cup front\u201d pricing. (Pricing where the customer gets to know the total for the repair or replacement before the work is done.)\nThey\u2019ve banished the low-bid mentality from their business culture. They probably don\u2019t do new home construction or commercial work unless it\u2019s very profitable, and they\u2019ve made the move to exclusively residential repair and replacement. Finally, they\u2019ve realigned their interests with the interests of homeowners all across North America: time is more important than price.\nThe fact is, most homeowners want premium services. They\u2019re willing to pay more money for a company that respects their time while delivering five-star service. They don\u2019t want to wait around all day for a home service company to show up at their door. They don\u2019t want to shell out hard-earned money to a company charging time and material when the technician likely doesn\u2019t have the part on his truck and \u2018has to go to the supplier but will be back in twenty minutes\u2019. (Which usually turns out to be an hour plus a trip to the coffee shop drive thru window.)\nCustomers want to become clients. All you have to do is show them the way. We can help!",

        "raw_content": "Home/Business advice, Digital Marketing/Entering the China Market via WeChat as a Hong Kong Brand\nBrands have always loved the concept of expanding their businesses in the Greater China area. China\u2019s big market always seems to be a promise to a lot of brands. These brands are often encouraged by their rise in Hong Kong. However, these brands must understand that there are strong cultural differences that makeup Greater China. Greater China consists of China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan. Even a Hong Kong brand will have difficulty entering the China market without enough knowledge about the cultural differences.\nHong Kong, despite falling under Greater China, employs very different business strategies. It falls under different legal, economic, and culturally constraints. These changes make it different for even a Hong Kong brand to penetrate into the market. Hong Kong can be considered westernized as opposed to Mainland China. This is the reason why a Hong Kong brand may be more appreciated by the Western culture as opposed to China\u2019s more traditional cultural approach.\nEntering the China Market Using Digital\nAs we all know, the Internet in Hong Kong is non-standard so its citizens can easily access various social media networking sites. 57% of Hong Kong consumers engage heavily with Facebook with 48% of them purchasing from the popular networking site.\nChina, with its regulated internet, may be harder to reach through traditional media. This is where the challenge often lies. China has quite a different take on what it means to be digital. Brands and businesses can find China\u2019s market solely through WeChat for instance. With close to a billion users, WeChat is where most of the target market can be found. China\u2019s stringent internet usage can actually be an advantage for any Hong Kong brand that aims to target the market.\nThe reason? With digital, entering the China market is easier because the brand can focus on one social media. Entering the digital market using WeChat is a smart strategy because, with one campaign, you can target China\u2019s growing market. Entering the China market using digital is wise because 65% of its consumers also purchase through WeChat.\nOne can also find a greater study about the China market via WeChat. WeChat can also provide consumer behavior insights of the China market even though the data may not be absolute.\nDefining WeChat\nFor those outside of the China market and unfamiliar, WeChat is a messaging app that has quickly blossomed into a place where people can sell their products. With an estimated 25% increase in users every year, many online brands are taking advantage of WeChat to gain more consumers. Big companies such Amazon and H&M have reached out to consumers via WeChat, including luxury brand Dior, and was met with astounding success.\nWeChat also gives a chance for brands to reach out to followers through gimmicks such as discounts, coupons, and sales in the hopes of gaining loyalty or at least pique interest.\nWeChat drastically changed the buying habits of China. Nowadays, the best way to shop is via app as most consumers spend 70 minutes on it. China\u2019s market, through WeChat, is now able to have an integrated payment system and is used for everything: booking taxis, ordering takeout, settle electric bills and pay the cashier. With China\u2019s daily behaviors tied closely to the app, brands now that this is the best way to enter the market.\nFor brands in Hong Kong, understanding the psychological attachment to WeChat is important to know. The reason for this is because the only way to get to them is to understand their behavior for this will ultimately lead to success.\nOur social media services give you the possibility to connect and share information. This leads to an increase in the brand\u2019s, product\u2019s or service\u2019s awareness.",

Over the next few days, more and more people fleeing the military assault-teachers, students, intellectuals, artists, and politicians-arrive at the embassy.\nAn anonymous cameraman records the tense situation with his Super-8 camera, and provides a voice-over commentary, as the Ambassador and his wife arrange to house and feed the growing group, who monitor radio reports of the alarming political developments-including thousands of political prisoners detained in a stadium, and reports of executions-and glimpse activities on the streets outside. The refuge-seekers accommodate themselves to the makeshift living arrangements, find ways to pass the time, and engage in often heated political debates.\n\"A trenchant political allegory.\" \u2014Catherine Lupton, Chris Marker: Memories of the Future\n\"Something of a cross between the immersive docufiction of Peter Watkins and the reflexive diaries of Jonas Mekas... serves as both a portent and potent statement on the myth of cinema as a direct representation of reality.\" \u2014Acquarello, The Auteurs Cinema Blog\nCinema Studies, Fiction, France, History (World), Latin America, Latin American Studies, Political Science, Politics\nAvailable on one DVD with The Sixth Side of the Pentagon\nThe Sixth Side of the Pentagon: Chronicle of the 1967 Mobilization to End the War in Vietnam protest march on the Pentagon, by documentary essayist Chris Marker.

What are the guidelines for issue of summons?\nQ 32. What are the precautions to be observed while issuing summons?\nQ 33. Are there any class of officers who are required to assist CGST/SGST officers?\nAns. As per law dictionary and as noted in different judicial pronouncements, the term \u2018search\u2019, in simple language, denotes an action of a government machinery to go, look through or examine carefully a place, area, person, object etc. in order to find something concealed or for the purpose of discovering evidence of a crime. The search of a person or vehicle or premises etc. can only be done under proper and valid authority of law.\nAns. \u2018Inspection\u2019 is a new provision under the MGL. It is a softer provision than search to enable officers to access any place of business of a taxable person and also any place of business of a person engaged in transporting goods or who is an owner or an operator of a warehouse or godown.\nAns. As per Section 60 of MGL, Inspection can be carried out by an officer of CGST/SGST only upon a written authorization given by an officer of the rank of Joint Commissioner or above. A Joint Commissioner or an officer higher in rank can give such authorization only if he has reasons to believe that the person concerned has done one of the following:\ni. suppressed any transaction of supply;\nii. suppressed stock of goods in hand;\niii. claimed excess input tax credit;\niv. contravened any provision of the CGST/SGST Act to evade tax;\nv. a transporter or warehouse owner has kept goods which have escaped payment of tax or has kept his accounts or goods in a manner that is likely to cause evasion of tax.\nAns. No. Authorization can be given to an officer of CGST/SGST to carry out inspection of any of the following:\ni. any place of business of a taxable person;\nii. any place of business of a person engaged in the business of transporting goods whether or not he is a registered taxable person;\niii. any place of business of an owner or an operator of a warehouse or godown.\nAns. An officer of the rank of Joint Commissioner or above can authorize an officer in writing to carry out search and seize goods, documents, books or things. Such authorization can be given only where the Joint Commissioner has reasons to believe that any goods liable to confiscation or any documents or books or things relevant for any proceedings are hidden in any place.\nAns. Reason to believe is to have knowledge of facts which, although not amounting to direct knowledge, would cause a reasonable person, knowing the same facts, to reasonably conclude the same thing. As per Section 26 of the IPC, 1860, \u201cA person is said to have \u2018reason to believe\u2019 a thing, if he has sufficient cause to believe that thing but not otherwise.\u201d \u2018Reason to believe\u2019 contemplates an objective determination based on intelligent care and evaluation as distinguished from a purely subjective consideration. It has to be and must be that of an honest and reasonable person based on relevant material and circumstances.\nAns. Although the officer is not required to state the reasons for such belief before issuing an authorization for search, he has to disclose the material on which his belief was formed. \u2018Reason to believe\u2019 need not be recorded invariably in each case. However, it would be better if the materials / information etc. are recorded before issue of search warrant or before conducting search.\nAns. The written authority to conduct search is generally called search warrant. The competent authority to issue search warrant is an officer of the rank of Joint Commissioner or above. A search warrant must indicate the existence of a reasonable belief leading to the search. Search Warrant should contain the following details:\ni. the violation under the Act,\nii. the premise to be searched,\niii. the name and designation of the person authorized for search,\niv. the name of the issuing officer with full designation along with his round seal,\nv. date and place of issue,\nvi. serial number of the search warrant,\nvii. period of validity i.e. a day or two days etc.\nAns. As per section 70 of Model GST Law, goods become liable to confiscation when any person does the following:\n(i) supplies any goods in contravention of any of the provisions of this Act or rules made thereunder leading to evasion of tax;\n(ii) does not account for any goods on which he is liable to pay tax under this Act;\n(iii) supplies any goods liable to tax under this Act without having applied for the registration;\n(iv) contravenes any of the provisions of the CGST/ SGST Act or rules made thereunder with intent to evade payment of tax.\nAns. An officer carrying out a search has the power to search for and seize goods (which are liable to confiscation) and documents, books or things (relevant for any proceedings under MGL) from the premises searched. During search, the officer has the power to break open the door of the premises authorized to be searched if access to the same is denied. Similarly, while carrying out search within the premises, he can break open any almirah or box if access to such almirah or box is denied and in which any goods, account, registers or documents are suspected to be concealed. He can also seal the premises if access to it denied.\nAns. Section 60(8) of MGL prescribes that searches must be carried out in accordance with the provisions of Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. Section 100 of the Code of Criminal Procedure describes the procedure for search.\nAns. The following principles should be observed during Search:\n\u2022 No search of premises should be carried out without a valid search warrant issued by the proper officer.\n\u2022 There should invariably be a lady officer accompanying the search team to residence.\n\u2022 The officers before starting the search should disclose their identity by showing their identity cards to the person in-charge of the premises.\n\u2022 The search warrant should be executed before the start of the search by showing the same to the person in-charge of the premises and his signature should be taken on the body of the search warrant in token of having seen the same. The signatures of at least two witnesses should also be taken on the body of the search warrant.\n\u2022 The search should be made in the presence of at least two independent witnesses of the locality. If no such inhabitants are available /willing, the inhabitants of any other locality should be asked to be witness to the search. The witnesses should be briefed about the purpose of the search.\n\u2022 Before the start of the search proceedings, the team of officers conducting the search and the accompanying witnesses should offer themselves for their personal search to the person in-charge of the premises being searched. Similarly, after the completion of search all the officers and the witnesses should again offer themselves for their personal search.\n\u2022 A Panchnama / Mahazar of the proceedings of the search should necessarily be prepared on the spot. A list of all goods, documents recovered and seized/detained should be prepared and annexed to the Panchnama/Mahazar. The Panchnama / Mahazar and the list of goods/ documents seized/detained should invariably be signed by the witnesses, the in-charge/ owner of the premises before whom the search is conducted and also by the officer(s) duly authorized for conducting the search.\n\u2022 After the search is over, the search warrant duly executed should be returned in original to the issuing officer with a report regarding the outcome of the search. The names of the officers who participated in the search may also be written on the reverse of the search warrant.\n\u2022 The issuing authority of search warrant should maintain register of records of search warrant issued and returned and used search warrants should be kept in records.\n\u2022 A copy of the Panchnama / Mahazar along with its annexure should be given to the person incharge/ owner of the premises being searched under acknowledgement.\nAns. Yes. Access can also be obtained in terms of Section 64 of MGL. This provision of law is meant to allow an audit party of CGST/SGST or C&AG or a cost accountant or chartered accountant nominated under section 50 of CGST/SGST Act, access to any business premises without issuance of a search warrant for the purposes of carrying out any audit, scrutiny, verification and checks as may be necessary to safeguard the interest of revenue. However, a written authorization is to be issued by an officer of the rank of Additional/Joint Commissioner of CGST or SGST. This provision facilitates access to a business premise which is not registered by a taxable person as a principal or additional place of business but has books of accounts, documents, computers etc. which are required for audit or verification of accounts of a taxable person.\nAns. Search without a valid search warrant (i.e. issued by other than a competent authority or without a search warrant) results in an illegal search without authority of law. However, due to this reason, the accused cannot get benefit. Accordingly, evidence collected even during an illegal search and seizure is considered admissible in trial and adjudication proceedings.\nAns. The term \u2018seizure\u2019 has not been specifically defined in the Model GST Law. In Law Lexicon Dictionary, \u2018seizure\u2019 is defined as the act of taking possession of property by an officer under legal process. It generally implies taking possession forcibly contrary to the wishes of the owner of the property or who has the possession and who was unwilling to part with the possession.\nAns. Yes, under Section 69 of MGL, an officer has power to detain goods along with the conveyance (like a truck or other types of vehicle) transporting the goods. This can be done for such goods which are being transported or are stored in transit in violation of the provisions of MGL. Goods which are stored or are kept in stock but not accounted for can also be detained. Such goods and conveyance can be released after payment of applicable tax or upon furnishing security of equivalent amount.\nAns. Denial of access to the owner of the property or the person who possesses the property at a particular point of time by a legal order/notice is called detention. Seizure is taking over of actual possession of the goods by the department. Detention order is issued when it is suspected that the goods are liable to confiscation. Seizure can be made only on the reasonable belief which is arrived at after inquiry/investigation that the goods are liable to confiscation.\nAns. Certain safeguards are provided in section 60 of Model CGST/SGST Law in respect of the power of search or seizure. These are as follows:\ni. Seized goods or documents should not be retained beyond the period necessary for their examination;\nii. Photocopies of the documents can be taken by the person from whose custody documents are seized;\niii. For seized goods, if a notice is not issued within sixty days of its seizure, goods shall be returned to the person from whose possession it was seized. This period of sixty days can be extended on justified grounds up to a maximum period of six months;\niv. An inventory of seized goods shall be made by the seizing officer;\nv. Certain categories of goods to be specified under Model GST Rules (such as perishable, hazardous etc.) can be disposed of immediately after seizure;\nvi. Provisions of Code of Criminal Procedure 1973 relating to search and seizure shall apply. However, one important modification is in relation to sub-section (5) of section 165 of Code of Criminal Procedure \u2013 instead of sending copies of any record made in course of search to the nearest Magistrate empowered to take cognizance of the offence, it has to be sent to the Principal Commissioner/ Commissioner of CGST/ Commissioner of SGST .\nAns. Under section 61 of MGL, a person in charge of a transport vehicle may be required to carry a prescribed document in respect of such consignments whose value is more than fifty thousand rupees.\nAns. The term \u2018arrest\u2019 has not been defined in the Model GST Law. However, as per judicial pronouncements, it denotes \u2018the taking into custody of a person under some lawful command or authority\u2019. In other words a person is said to be arrested when he is taken and restrained of his liberty by power or colour of lawful warrant.\nAns. The Commissioner of CGST/SGST can authorize a CGST/SGST officer to arrest a person if he has reasons to believe that the person has committed an offence attracting a punishment prescribed under section 73 (1)(i), 73 (1)(ii) and 73 (2) of the CGST/SGST Act. This essentially means that a person can be arrested only where the tax evasion is more than fifty lakhs rupees or where a person has earlier 198 been convicted for an offence under section 73 of the Model CGST/SGST Act.\nAns. There are certain safeguards provided under section 62 for a person who is placed under arrest. These are:\ni. If a person is arrested for a cognizable offence, he must be informed in writing of the grounds of arrest and he must be produced before a magistrate within 24 hours of his arrest;\nii. If a person is arrested for a non-cognizable and bailable offence, the Deputy/ Assistant Commissioner of CGST/SGST can release him on bail and he will be subject to the same provisions as an officer incharge of a police station under section 436 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973;\niii. All arrest must be in accordance with the provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 relating to arrest.\nAns. The provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (2 of 1974) relating to arrest and the procedure thereof must be adhered to. It is therefore necessary that all field officers of CGST/SGST be fully familiar with the provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. One important provision to be taken note of is section 57 of Cr.P.C., 1973 which provides that a person arrested without warrant shall not be detained for a longer period than, under the circumstances of the case, is reasonable but this shall not exceed twenty four hours (excluding the journey time from place of arrest to the Magistrate\u2019s court). Within this period, as provided under section 56 of Cr.P.C., the person making the arrest shall send the person arrested without warrant before a Magistrate having jurisdiction in the case. In a landmark judgment in the case of D.K. Basu v. State of West Bengal reported in 1997 (1) SCC 416, the Hon\u2019ble Supreme Court has laid down specific guidelines required to be followed while making arrests. While this is in relation to police, it needs to be followed by all departments having power of arrest. These are as under:\ni. The police personnel carrying out the arrest and handling the interrogation of the arrestee should bear accurate, visible and clear identification and name tags with their designations. The particulars of all such police personnel who handle interrogation of the arrestee must be recorded in a register.\nii. The police officer carrying out the arrest shall prepare a memo of arrest at the time of arrest and such memo shall be attested by at least one witness, who may be either a member of the family of the arrestee or a respectable person of the locality from where the arrest is made. It 200 shall also be counter signed by the arrestee and shall contain the time and date of arrest.\niii. A person who has been arrested or detained and is being held in custody in a police station or interrogation center or other lock up, shall be entitled to have one friend or relative or other person known to him or having interest in his welfare being informed, as soon as practicable, that he has been arrested and is being detained at the particular place, unless the attesting witness of the memo of arrest is himself such a friend or a relative of the arrestee.\niv. The time, place of arrest and venue of custody of an arrestee must be notified by the police where the next friend or relative of the arrestee lives outside the district or town through the Legal Aid Organization in the District and the police station of the area concerned telegraphically within a period of 8 to 12 hours after the arrest.\nv. An entry must be made in the diary at the place of detention regarding the arrest of the person which shall also disclose the name of the next friend of the person who has been informed of the arrest and the names and particulars of the police officials in whose custody the arrestee is.\nvi. The arrestee should, where he so requests, be also examined at the time of his arrest and major and minor injuries, if any present on his/her body, must be recorded at that time. The \u2018Inspection Memo\u2019 must be signed both by the arrestee and the police officer effecting the arrest and its copy provided to the arrestee.\nvii. The arrestee should be subjected to medical examination by the trained doctor every 48 hours during his detention in custody by a doctor on the panel of approved doctors appointed by Director, Health Services of the concerned State or Union Territory, Director, Health Services should prepare such a panel for all Tehsils and Districts as well.\nviii. Copies of all the documents including the memo of arrest, referred to above, should be sent to the Magistrate for his record. ix. The arrestee may be permitted to meet his lawyer during interrogation, though not throughout the interrogation.\nx. A police control room should be provided at all district and State headquarters where information regarding the arrest and the place of custody of the arrestee shall be communicated by the officer causing the arrest, within 12 hours of effecting the arrest and at the police control room it should be displayed on a conspicuous notice board.\nAns. Decision to arrest needs to be taken on case-tocase basis considering various factors, such as, nature and gravity of offence, quantum of duty evaded or credit wrongfully availed, nature and quality of evidence, possibility of evidences being tampered with or witnesses being influenced, cooperation with the investigation, etc. Power to arrest has to be exercised after careful consideration of the facts of the case which may include:\ni. to ensure proper investigation of the offence;\nii. to prevent such person from absconding;\niii. cases involving organized smuggling of goods or evasion of customs duty by way of concealment;\niv. master minds or key operators effecting proxy/benami imports/exports in the name of dummy or non-existent persons/IECs, etc;\nv. where the intent to evade duty is evident and element of mensrea/guilty mind is palpable;\nvi. prevention of the possibility of tampering with evidence;\nvii. intimidating or influencing witnesses; and\nviii. large amounts of evasion of duty or service tax at least exceeding one crore rupees.\nAns. Generally, cognizable offence means serious category of offences in respect of which a police officer has the authority to make an arrest without a warrant and to start an investigation with or without the permission of a court.\nAns. Non-cognizable offence means relatively less serious offences in respect of which a police officer does not have the authority to make an arrest without a warrant and an investigation cannot be initiated without a court order.\nAns. In section 73 (4) of MGL, it is provided that the offences relating to taxable goods and /or services where the amount of tax evaded exceeds Rs. 2.5 crores, shall be cognizable and non-bailable. Other offences under the act are non-cognizable and bailable.\nAns. Section 63 of MGL gives powers to a duly authorized CGST/SGST officer to call upon a person by issuing a summon to present himself before the officer issuing the summon to either give evidence or produce a document or any other thing in any inquiry which an officer is making. A summons to produce documents or other things may be for the production of certain specified documents or things or for the production of all documents or things of a certain description in the possession or under the control of the person summoned.\nAns. A person who is issued summon is legally bound to 204 attend either in person or by an authorized representative and he is bound to state the truth before the officer who has issued the summon upon any subject which is the subject matter of examination and to produce such documents and other things as may be required.\nAns. The proceeding before the official who has issued summons is deemed to be a judicial proceeding. If a person does not appear on the date when summoned without any reasonable justification, he can be prosecuted under section 174 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). If he absconds to avoid service of summons, he can be prosecuted under section 172 of the IPC and in case he does not produce the documents or electronic records required to be produced, he can be prosecuted under section 175 of the IPC. In case he gives false evidence, he can be prosecuted under section 193 of the IPC. In addition, if a person does not appear before a CGST/\nSGST officer who has issued the summon, he is liable to a penalty upto twenty five thousand rupees under section 66(3)(d) of MGL.\nAns. The Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC) in the Department of Revenue, Ministry of Finance has issued guidelines from time to time to ensure that summons provisions are not misused in the field. Some of the important highlights of these guidelines are given below:\ni. summons are to be issued as a last resort where assesses are not co-operating and this section should not be used for the top management;\nii. the language of the summons should not be harsh and legal which causes unnecessary mental stress and embarrassment to the receiver;\niii. summons by Superintendents should be issued after obtaining prior written permission from an officer not below the rank of Assistant Commissioner with the reasons for issuance of summons to be recorded in writing;\niv. where for operational reasons, it is not possible to obtain such prior written permission, oral/ telephonic permission from such officer must be obtained and the same should be reduced to writing and intimated to the officer according such permission at the earliest opportunity;\nv. in all cases, where summons are issued, the officer issuing summons should submit a report or should record a brief of the proceedings in the case file and submit the same to the officer who had authorized the issuance of summons;\nvi. senior management officials such as CEO, CFO, General Managers of a large company or a Public Sector Undertaking should not generally be issued summons at the first instance. They should be summoned only when there are indications in the investigation of their involvement in the decision making process which led to loss of\nAns. The following precautions should generally be observed when summoning a person:-\n(iv) Preferably, statements should be recorded during office hours; however an exception could be made regarding time and place of recording statement having regard to the facts in the case.\nAns. Under section 65 of MGL, the following officers have been empowered and are required to assist CGST/SGST officers in the execution of MGL. The categories specified in MGL are as follows:\ni. Police;\nii. Customs;\niii. Officers of State/Central Government engaged in collection of GST;\niv. Officers of State/Central Government engaged in collection of land revenue;\nv. All village officers;\nvi. Any other class of officers as may be notified by the Central/State Government.\nOffences and Penalties, Prosecution and Compounding (FAQ on GST)",

        "raw_content": "Is this the sight you want to wake up to? (Photo by alykat)\nSurreal as it may seem, I've finally reached the grand finale. A month without using any hair products. I have succesfully managed using only water (well, there was that small experiment with vinegar, but that doesn't really count). To read how it began, click here.\nTo tell you the truth, when I first thought of this experiment I expected to see at least some results after a couple of weeks (OK, there were results, but not the kind I was looking for). And I was quite certain that after a month it'd be smooth sailing. I'd never have to wash my hair again. The success stories that I read convinced me that it could be done. They stories came, after all, from the eternal wellspring of wisdom that is the internet.\nOf course, it obviously can be done, since I just did it. My hair does not completely clean itself, however. If I go more than a few days without so much as rinsing it, it looks and feels oily. In that sense this experiment has been a bit of a letdown.\nOn the other hand, I don't think I need to use shampoo or conditioner anymore. Washing with water every day or every other day seems to be enough, and I like the natural feel of the hair.\nA month was probably too short a time period to show any remarkable results. Three months might've been more realistic. Then again, there were the horror stories of people who had dirty hair for five months, which doesn't exactly inspire me to try the same. Nevertheless, I've come too far to start using shampoo now.\nI won't be posting about this experiment daily anymore, though I might update it every now and then. It's time for me to think of another inhuman experiment.\nHey, a really interesting experiment. I am doing a research project on hair care, as part of my PhD and would love to talk to you some more about your experiment - just wondering if you would be up for that?\nYeah, sure. Sorry about the late answer.\nThat is great! It would be great if you could contact me via e-mail (sabineh10@hotmail.com) so we could discuss things further. Or somehow else might be better for you? Thanks.\nTressless June 17, 2009 at 5:28 AM\nHello, would you please contact me at hi@tressless.com?

        "title": "Soy Isoflavones Reduce DHT, Increase Testosterone",
        "raw_content": "Soy Isoflavones Reduce DHT, Increase Testosterone\nSoybeans contain the isoflavones genistein and daidzein. (Photo by T. Hagihara)\nThere's a lot of speculation on how soy intake and hair growth are related, so in a series of posts beginning with this one, we'll be taking a look at what the studies have to say. Hopefully, it will become clear whether soy isoflavones really do anything, how much isoflavones is the optimal intake, and whether oral or topical is the way to go.\nIn the first study we'll look at, male rats were fed soy isoflavones in various amounts (link). After a week, their testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) levels were measured. Since reducing DHT levels seems to be an effective way to reduce hair loss, this should be an interesting study for people considering soy isoflavones as a remedy.\nComposition of the soy diets\nTo find out how soy isoflavones and androgen levels are related, the authors conducted two experiments. In the first experiment, rats in the treatment group were given soy flour with their normal chow. In the second experiment, rats in the treatment groups were given either a soy methanol extract or semipurified soy isoflavones.\nThe isoflavone content of the soy flour was 1.92 mg/g. The isoflavone contents of the soy methanol extract and semipurified soy isoflavones were 3.38 mg/g and 218 mg/g, respectively. In the first experiment, the rats in the treatment group received 442.7 g/kg soy flour in their diet. In the second experiment, they received 20 g/kg of soy extract or 2 g/kg of soy isoflavones in their diets.\nLong story short, the according to the authors, the actual soy isoflavone intakes of the rats were as follows: 19 mg/day in the soy flour group, 0.9 mg/day in the soy extract group, and 3.3 mg/day in the soy isoflavone group. The control groups consumed zero soy isoflavones.\nSoy isoflavones and DHT\nRats on the soy flour diet had significantly lower DHT levels than rats on the control diet. Similarly, the DHT levels of the rats on the soy isoflavone diet were about 60% lower DHT than in the control group. On soy extract diet DHT levels tended to decrease, but the difference was not statistically significant.\nThe figure above shows the DHT levels for the soy extract and soy isoflavone diets compared to the control group. The observed decrease in DHT from the soy flour diet (not shown above) was similar to that of the soy extract diet, with the exception that the difference was statistically significant.\nSoy isoflavones and testosterone\nRats on the soy flour diet had similar levels of testosterone + dihydrotestosterone (T+DHT) as the control group. Since their DHT levels were lower, however, this means that there was an increase in testosterone from eating the soy flour diet. In the soy isoflavone diet, this effect was even clearer; not only was the reduction in DHT balanced by an increase in testosterone, but the total T+DHT levels were much higher than they were before the diet.\nThe figure above shows the T+DHT levels of the soy extract and soy isoflavone diets compared to the control group. Testosterone levels tended to increase and DHT levels tended to decrease also on the soy extract diet, but again, the differences were not statistically significant.\nThe fact that the soy isoflavone showed significant effects and the soy extract is possibly due to the differences in soy isoflavone content of the diets. The rats on the soy extract diet consumed only 0.9 mg/day, while those on the isoflavone diet consumed 3.3 mg/day. The two graphs shown here seem to support the idea that the effect is dose-dependent.\nWhat is confusing, however, is that the soy flour diet showed a less pronounced effect than the soy isoflavone diet even though it had a much higher isoflavone content. Perhaps the dose-response is not linear but a bell curve. Unfortunately, the authors offer no explanation or theory for the results in the paper.\nSoy isoflavones significantly reduced DHT levels and increased testosterone levels in male rats. An intake of 3.3 mg of isoflavones per day was the most effective of the three treatments tested. A lower intake showed similar but less pronounced effects, while a higher intake did not appear to further add to the effect.\nThe calculation for 22.4 g/day would not be 0.024 * 850 but 0.0224 * 850 and that gives the answer 19.04 which is how the researchers came up with their result.\nJLL November 21, 2009 at 1:43 PM\nYou're right, it was my calculation that was wrong. Thank you for the correction!\nNice post! I think there's a mainstream misconception that exaggerates the association between soy, femininity, and estrogen.\nIt's also been shown that soy isolavones also have the capacity to cause fat cell death. Somehow I doubt soy would be considered an \"accepted food\" within the paleo community, but nevertheless I plan on including it into my own fat loss program.\nYou may want to consider the following research:\nhttp://www.westonaprice.org/Studies-Showing-Adverse-Effects-of-Dietary-Soy-1971-2003.html\nhttp://www.westonaprice.org/Dangers-of-Dietary-Isoflavones-At-Levels-Above-Those-Found-In-Traditional-Diets.html\nhttp://www.westonaprice.org/Soy-Isoflavones-Panacea-or-Poison.html\nI'm aware of how the folks at Weston A. Price Foundation feel about soy. I'm not entirely convinced their fears are founded. Neither am I saying everyone should start eating soy -- just that if one is looking to reduce DHT and increase testosterone, soy isoflavones are one way to do it. I will go through to the articles you linked to again, however. Thanks for the comment!\nJacey, I have seen lots of negativity about Soy (and those people are making a lot of money!) Perhaps some of their points are valid but looking at the net benefit ratio - I include Soy in my diet. Have seen lots of studies about how it affect positively gene expression.\nAlso... if the Okinawan's are eating it - that cannot be a bad sign...\nI\u00b4ve found a supplement that says:\n40% Soy Isoflavones....62.5 mg per pill (equivalent to 25 mg of isoflavones)\nHow many pills should I take a day?\nIn this human study the following amounts were used:\n\"The low-isoflavone soy protein isolate contained 0.02 mg isoflavones/kg body weight, while the high-isoflavone isolate contained 0.72 mg/kg body weight. Mean soy isoflavone intakes were 1.64 mg and 61.7 mg, respectively, with the most abundant isoflavones being genistein and daidzein.\"\nBased on that, about two pills per day seems right. I would not take much more than that without reading up on potential harmful effects first.\n@PHILLIP \"I have seen lots of negativity about Soy (and those people are making a lot of money!)\"\nThey are? How?\nSoy is cheap, abundant and used in so many foods now. Seems to me that all the companies that use soy in their products have more to gain by telling us it's perfectly safe to consume in high doses.\nit sure looks like soy is bad for the thyroid in women:\nhttp://suppversity.blogspot.ca/2011/03/from-subclinical-to-full-blown.html\neating fermented soy once in a while is probably OK but I wouldn't eat soy on purpose hoping that it will do something positive\nI've heard all of this stuff about how soy is estrogenic and will increase your estrogen levels and feminize men's bodies.\nAre you suggesting the exact opposite, gender-wise?\n@Mykell,\nI think the \"soy = feminine\" connection is vastly exaggerated and not really based on proper studies; indeed, many of the studies show the opposite connection.\nStill, simply because soy seems to reduce DHT and increase T doesn't mean there can't be something else happening in the body that would be harmful to men. Perhaps the increased T is a reaction to something else, for example. All in all, though, it seems to me like a small quantity of soy isoflavones is a net positive for men as well.",

        "raw_content": "Biodiesel is the best alternative to petrol and petroleum products along with petroleum diesel. Its preparation from biodegradable substances is the primary reason for the diesel being called the Biodiesel. The Biodiesel can be used in its pure form, but is also adaptable to a blend with petroleum diesel.\nThe preparation of this Biodiesel is a very easy task and can be carried out even in a ranch or farm. Biodiesel can be made through numerous processes. It is easier to make a homebrew Biodiesel than to make it on a large scale or in a refinery. The following are some of the ways that are commonly used for preparing the Biodiesel at home.\n1. With the use of Vegetable Oil:\nUnder proper conditions, waste as well as new vegetable oil can be used for the production of Biodiesel.\na. Preparation of Biodiesel using new vegetable oil:\nFor the preparation of Biodiesel, there are a lot of kits that are available on the market today. For making convenient Biodiesel, you must first study the kit carefully and must first make small batches of it. For the preparation of a home brew Biodiesel, you will need the following apparatus:\n* A blender with Glass jar.\n* A scale which weighs upto 0 to 50 gm with the nearest 0.1 gm.\n* One quart jar.\n* A hand pump;\n* A liquid measuring cup;\n* Methanol;\n* Sodium Hydroxide;\nTake proper care of your guarding equipments and then pour 1 cup methanol in the blender. Put 3.5 gm of sodium hydroxide and put it in the methanol in the blender. Blend the mixture for about 5 minutes. The blended mixture is a very strong base, called sodium methoxide. Please take care to avoid getting in contact with it. Pour one quart of new vegetable oil into the sodium methoxide and blend the mixture for 30 minutes at low speed. Let the mixture to set for around 8 hours at room temperature. The mixture after the setting is a mixture of the Biodiesel, which floats on top of a dark colored glycerol. You can then pump the light Biodiesel out with the help of the hand pump.\nb. Preparation of Biodiesel using waste vegetable oil:\nThe waste oil is more acidic than the new oil because of the high amount of fatty acids that are present in it. You will have to first determine the amount of catalyst needed for the preparation with the help of titration. When you determine how much sodium hydroxide is required, you can follow the same method for the preparation of Biodiesel with the new vegetable cooking oil. The end result is also the same, but there is a white layer in between the diesel and the glycerol. It is the soap and is present if there is even a small amount of water present in the vegetable oil. To remove the oil you will have to warm the oil and when the water settles down, you can remove it by the hand pump or can just pour it over the top.",

This is another work where I would like to examine the score, because it seemed to me that intentionally or unintentionally, Mr. Michael made use of what theory students have learned to tag as \u201cwhite key diatonicism.\u201d This is the style of composition personified by the American composer Aaron Copland, and as I have said before in very oversimplified terms, white key diatonicism is where key signatures and enharmonic equivalence are taken as points of departure for a study of the diatonic-chromatic relationship.

What is it to dream to be part of that magical world? It would be one thing to capture the essence of a circus by writing circus-like music. But whether you're young or old, the circus is more than just brassy circus music; it is the magic and wonder of the world, from the large elephants and the setting up of the tent, to the amazing flying acrobatics, the beautiful women in dazzling costumes and the painted clowns. A circus is a place of dreams and wonderment. Water for Elephants is more than just a circus, it is also a world of memories, hopes and dreams. What James Newton Howard does with the sound track is create a world lost in the haze of time, clouded by the forgotten memories yet colored by the painful ones we wish we could forget. He also captures the beauty of memories the way we remember them, not how events actually took place, but shaded with who we are now. The\u2026\nHatred over Religious \"Race\" Still a Problem 100 years later\nOver 100 Years ago Gustav Mahler was lampooned and derided because he was Jewish. Even after he converted to Catholicism (he couldn't conduct the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra without doing so), much of the public (including his own wife) felt he was Jewish. His mother was Jewish so Mahler was Jewish. This hatred of him as a composer and conductor kept him an outsider and was an endless obstacle in his career. Well, 100 years later news reports that Barrack Obama is a Muslim. His father is a Muslim so he must be a Muslim (or at least born one). It's as if some genetic code was somehow passed from father to son (or in the case of Mahler, mother to son), which decides their religious leanings. Science proves this isn't true. Christianity has long stood on the stance profession of faith is all that is required --believe in Me and you shall have everlasting life. So, when do we stop hating the \"other\" folks just because of who their parents were?

It isn't even all that unusual to hear Bach played on the saxophone anymore. However, what makes Bach-centric an unusual find is virtually veridical rendition by Dave Camwell. The accuracy and integrity of the music is of the highest standard. Opening with Cantata 29, Dave plays all the various lines of music, typically played on a keyboard instrument, on the saxophone --various saxophones, with multiple takes. Not only is the virtuosity of the performance of any given lines brilliant, but the skill of playing each of these lines separately, yet so accurate as to create a single unified sound. It is one instrument, one musician, one glorious piece masterfully composed both by Bach and by Camwell. This is followed by the Sonata in A minor. The solo lines are graceful dances tha\u2026\nThomas Hampson Explores George Crumb\u2019s American Songbooks in Washington, DC and New York City (April 28-29)\nThomas Hampson returns to the U.S. this month for two concerts with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, featuring songs from six of the American Songbooks by George Crumb. The performances take place at the Library of Congress in Washington D.C. on April 28, and at New York\u2019s Alice Tully Hall on April 29.

Commissioned by the Dallas Symphony Orchestra to commemorate the birth centennial of President Lyndon B. Johnson in 2008, the evening-long concert drama explores two defining issues of the controversial leader\u2019s presidency: the Vietnam War and civil rights. Stucky and librettist Gene Scheer have based August 4, 1964 on the tragic events of that date 46 years ago: the discovery in Mississippi of the bodies of three recently murdered young civil-rights workers and a disputed \u201cattack\u201d on two American warships in the Gulf of Tonkin. August 4, 1964 explores that day\u2019s historic and tragic events from two perspectives: that of the mothers of two of the murdered men, and reactions from within the Oval Office.

The evening was more than just classical music played extremely well; it was also a delightful chance to hear some very familiar music in a very new way.The program started off with the Prelude and \"Good Friday Spell\" from Wagner's Parcifal. From the opening moment as the audience waited to hear the first note, until the end of the opening musical phrase, Andrew Grams commanded complete attention from everyone in the hall. The music began quietly, and then unfolded much like the dawning of a new day. The orchestral colors shifted and swayed allowing the audience to catch only glimpses until something new caught our attention. The shadings of the music by the Colorado Symphony was simply Immaculate. Wagner's Prelude has several breaks in the music,\u2026\nNicola Benedetti: Tchaikovsky-Bruch Violin Concertos Really Reaches Her Potential\nNicola Benedetti and I have not been on the best of terms. I've always felt she has wonderful potential as an artist, but hasn't lived up to it... not yet... not until now. I wasn't asked to review her latest CD, Tchaikovsky & Bruch: Violin Concertos, but did run across it the other day and decided it was worth taking a chance. I am so glad I did. I actually heard Nicola perform the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto several years ago with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. It was a nice performance, but not stunning, as I'd expected. Wow, has she come a long way. She amazed the critics in 2004 capturing BBC Young Artist of the Year. This new recording is nuanced, rich and flavorful. Her violin sings with such emotion, there are times it is difficult to breathe her command of the music is so masterful. The Tchaikovsky would have been enough to warrant getting the CD, but she adds Bruch's Violin Concerto No. 1 in G minor.

        "raw_content": "Being a Jew in Moscow has become extremely doable\nRepresentative of the Chief Rabbinate of Russia with foreigners Yakov Klein participated in a meeting with USA vice-president Joe Biden. Interfax-Religion asks Yakov Klein about his work in English-speaking community in Russia and his meeting with the American politician.\n- Mr. Klein, you work in the Chief Rabbinate of Russia with foreigners and English speaking Jews who live in Moscow. Could you tell us, please, about your activities in this sphere? What is main achievement in this field? What difficulties you have to face?\n- Our activities range from Shabbat and holiday programs, classes, Sunday Hebrew school and Jewish women's meetings. We enjoy working with our community, we love being there to help anyone in need. Each situation is different and unique but the bulk of what we do is help our fellow expats whenever needed. And give them the feeling of a home away from home.\nWhen the Lubavitcher Rabbi, of blessed memory, began sending Chabad emissaries throughout the world he insisted that the facilities being established be called Chabad houses, not centers or institutions, regardless of their size and structure. The Rabbi wanted to establish homes throughout the world that would be there for any Jew no matter where they were standing in their Jewish observance. He wanted every Jew to feel that no matter how far they may have traveled they will always have a place to call home. Our success is when we are able to provide that \"Home.\"\nOur difficulties are usually technical ones - when planning an event? But overcoming them we prove that we are on the right track. We know that God created our world imperfect so that a man can work and improve it. It's our great chance - to have a possibility to help the Creator! If we don't work, don't create - we can't be happy. Money, income is only one result of our work. If a person has a large fortune or earned big subsidy he doesn't have to work. But for a Jew it is not the reason to quit working. Work and difficulties in it accompany us from birth till the end, because it is a commandment, it is pleasure.\n- What about the members of the community? Could you portrait them?\n- We sport all different kinds of members. Singles with Russian roots, who have lived and some even were born abroad, returning to Moscow for business opportunities. We know that each person in our community has come to Russia from various parts of the world. We have citizens of France and Turkey, England and USA, we even faced in Russia with traditions and special mentality of Jews from Iran. It is positive experience for all of us. It gives us understanding of Jewish tradition in its various aspects. I think that local Jewish community is very open and bright and try to help to so many people as possible.\nWe have families that have moved here for a period of time to work either in Moscow embassies or again for business. We also provide services to those who are coming to visit and would like to have a closer look at the Jewish community here in Moscow. Another beautiful part of our community are the exchange students that join us for a few months. And our goal is to create conditions for full Jewish life of all these people during their stay far from their home.\n-Why did you decide to be a community leader? What did you graduate?\n- I am the youngest of a family of ten children all of my siblings are doing the same work: Community leaders all over the world. Growing up in such a family it was always my desire and ambition to do the same.\nI was born in New York City. I have studied and done outreach work and joined leadership programs around the world: USA, Israel, Canada and Australia. I was ordained Rabbi by the Late Chief Rabbi of Israel Rabbi Mordechai Eliyaho, in 2004 at the Rabbinical college of America in Morisstown, New Jersey.\nWhy it so happened that I came to Russia? I think that if Jews leave the country of their origin they better go to Israel. But at the same time I will be the last to tell people where to live. As the Talmud says \"each step of a man is from God,\" if a person lives somewhere then it God's will. A Hasidism founder Baal Shem Tov said that even if a person lost his way - it is also from God! We don't always understand why He led us here, but He did it and this is His will.\n- As we know your wife is also getting involved in the community work? How do you cooperate?\n- \"Also\" is a small word. We moved here as co-Directors and we each add to our community life in a different aspect. From the very first moment we have moved here, we have been working together, each focusing on what we do best, with the same goal in mind.\n- What about the lively and funny moments of your work? Do you think the English-speaking Jews feel comfortable in Jewish life of Moscow? Is it easy to be a Jew in Moscow?\n- We must say that besides for the harder issues we encounter, when we are asked to help in a not-so-happy situation, our work is pretty fun and funny. When we get together be it in the community center or at our home we always end up laughing about and comparing the \"skills\" we built since we arrived. Being a Jew in Moscow has become extremely doable due to the timeless work of Rabbi Lazar and his staff. Kosher food and Jewish education are available and the quality of both is unprecedented.\n- Do the members of English-speaking community cooperate with Russian speaking members in some activities?\n- Yes, in the past we have had members of the English-speaking community organize and volunteer holiday programs for Russian children of the orphanage and at other events. Often at our Shabbat dinners we are joined by local Jewish youth that are learning English and come to experience the Shabbat together with us.\n- What could you tell us about the interesting religious or cultural events that recently had happened in your community?\nJust this week we held our monthly JWC (Jewish Women's Circle) we had a group of women come over and learn about the upcoming holiday of Purim. Alongside this we have our weekly Sunday school. We strive to keep the curriculum fresh, fun and diverse by covering a wide range of Jewish traditions, heritage, history, and culture. Sunday Hebrew school instructors bring the Jewish traditions to life and share their own love and passion for Jewish life.\n- You also participate sometimes in political and interreligious meetings with English-speaking politicians and religious leaders. For example a few days ago you were on the meeting with USA vice-president Joe Biden. Could you tell us, please, about the meeting and your understanding of this visit?\n- The meeting was a very positive one. Vice President Joe Biden has stated that America is interested in the development of democracy in Russia, Instead of the traditional round-table discussions, Biden spoke with each of the twenty participant individually for two-three minutes.\nWhen I spoke with him he stressed that he is here on this trip with his granddaughter and before coming to Moscow he was in Prague, he took his granddaughter to see the oldest synagogue in Europe. When each of his three children became 15 he took them to Europe and to Germany to see the camps, he stressed that the Holocaust can happen again and its our responsibility to educate our youth and to prevent it from happening.\nWe spoke about his past visits to the former Soviet Union, and how things have changed for the better for Russian Jewry. He thanked the religious leaders for all the work they are doing here, and said that true Democracy is on their shoulders.\n- What would you wish to Russian Jews and Interfax-Religion visitors?\n- I'd like to offer my best wishes on Purim. The source of joy is in human soul. Purim commandments demands certain social activities, but in fact their goal is to form human soul as the soul becomes different, it becomes capable to feel true and constant joy. What does the Ester scroll tell us about? About complete hopelessness. And the Almighty in response to our repentance and prayers gives a new situation. He creates new motivations for our actions, but we should act. God hears us and gives us new potential according to our efforts, gives us a feeling that He is close to us and life has sense. Once a person came to me, he was in despair, he lost his job and it seemed to him that his life was ruined. He repeated: \"What wrong have I done?\" I told him that his question was not correct and he should ask \"What for? Perhaps, the Almighty has different plans on you.\" This though was unexpected for him. He left meditating. Some time later I learned that he found a new, much better job. Purim is a festival of transfiguration: grief is changed with joy. And it is the school where a person learns to understand that trials are given to step up to a new level, to gain renewed spirituality. And I would like to wish this inner growth.\nI also hope that Jewish education, Jewish life will continue develop in Russia, providing our future generations knowledge that will help them become true members of Jewish community.",

        "raw_content": "On February 28, 2018 the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) judged in Case C-387/16, Valstybin\u0117 mokes\u010di\u0173 inspekcija prie Lietuvos Respublikos finans\u0173 ministerijos versus Nidera BV, intervening party: Vilniaus apskrities valstybin\u0117 mokes\u010di\u0173 inspekcija (ECLI:EU:C:2018:121).\nThe present request for a preliminary ruling concerns the interpretation of Article 183 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax (OJ 2006 L 347, p. 1) (\u2018the VAT Directive\u2019).\nThe request has been made in proceedings between the Valstybin\u0117 mokes\u010di\u0173 inspekcija prie Lietuvos Respublikos finans\u0173 ministerijos (State Tax Inspectorate attached to the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Lithuania; \u2018the State Tax Inspectorate\u2019) and Nidera BV concerning the amount of default interest due in virtue of a late refund to Nidera BV of overpaid value added tax (VAT).\n\u00b7 Between February and May 2008, Nidera, a company established in the Netherlands, purchased wheat in Lithuania from suppliers of agricultural produce. The total amount of VAT paid, in accordance with the invoices of those suppliers, amounted to 11 743 259 Lithuanian litai (LTL) (approximately EUR 3 400 000). During the same period, Nidera exported that grain to third countries, applying the 0% VAT rate provided for under Lithuanian law.\n\u00b7 On 12 August 2008, Nidera was registered as a taxable person for the purposes of VAT in Lithuania. In its VAT declaration for the period from 12 to 31 August 2008, it declared that the above amount of VAT had been paid and requested a refund.\n\u00b7 By decision of 19 March 2009 approving the inspection report, the Vilniaus apskrities valstybin\u0117 mokes\u010di\u0173 inspekcija (Vilnius District State Tax Inspectorate, Lithuania) refused that refund on the ground that, at the time when the wheat in question was delivered, Nidera was not registered as a taxable person for the purposes of VAT, with the result that, under Lithuanian law, it was not entitled to deduct the VAT paid.\n\u00b7 However, following the judgment of 21 October 2010, Nidera Handelscompagnie (C\u2011385/09, EU:C:2010:627), the Mokestini\u0173 gin\u010d\u0173 komisija prie Lietuvos Respublikos Vyriausyb\u0117s (Tax Disputes Commission attached to the Government of the Republic of Lithuania) held, by decision of 24 November 2010, that Nidera was entitled to deduct the input VAT paid and ordered the tax authority to refund the amount in question. On 22 December 2010, the State Tax Inspectorate refunded Nidera overpaid VAT in the amount of LTL 11 743 259 (approximately EUR 3 400 000).\n\u00b7 Nidera subsequently requested payment of interest due by reason of the initial refusal to refund it the overpaid VAT. On 11 August 2011, the Vilnius District State Tax Inspectorate paid to it LTL 214 902.27 (approximately EUR 60 000) by way of interest on the overpaid VAT relating to the period between the delivery of that judgment and the date on which the overpaid VAT was refunded. By contrast, the Inspectorate refused to pay default interest for the period prior to the delivery of that judgment. By decision of 2 October 2013, the State Tax Inspectorate rejected the complaint lodged by Nidera against that decision.\n\u00b7 Nidera brought an action before the Vilniaus apygardos administracinis teismas (Regional Administrative Court, Vilnius, Lithuania) seeking annulment of the decision of the State Tax Inspectorate and an amendment to the decision of the Vilnius District State Tax Inspectorate, ordering the Inspectorate to refund to it the amount of LTL 3 864 706.66 (approximately EUR 1 100 000) in interest. It claimed that interest had to be calculated from the date of commencement of the tax inspection, that is to say, 21 November 2008, until the date on which the overpaid VAT was refunded. That court upheld Nidera\u2019s action in part and ordered the Vilnius District State Tax Inspectorate to pay to Nidera interest in respect of the period from 17 February 2009 to the date of the refund. The State Tax Inspectorate appealed against that decision before the referring court.\n\u00b7 That court states that it follows, in particular, from the judgment of 12 May 2011, Enel Maritsa Iztok 3 (C\u2011107/10, EU:C:2011:298), that Article 183 of the VAT Directive, read in the light of the principle of fiscal neutrality, precludes national legislation under which the normal period for refunding overpaid VAT, at the expiry of which default interest is payable on the sum to be refunded, is extended in the case where a tax investigation is instigated. The referring court considers that this therefore suggests that the interest due to Nidera should be calculated from the expiry of the period referred to in Article 87(7)(1) of that law, namely within 30 days from the date of receipt of the request for a refund, rather than from the expiry of the period referred to in Article 87(7)(2) of the Law on Tax Administration.\n\u00b7 However, the referring court harbours doubts as to the competence of the national authorities, including the courts, to reduce the interest due on the ground of the particular circumstances of the case in the main proceedings. In particular, the referring court is uncertain whether it has any discretion regarding the substantiation and correctness of the interest due, taking into account, inter alia, the relationship between that amount and that of the non-refunded overpayment, the period during which the overpayment was not refunded and the underlying reasons \u2014 in this case the national-law prohibition on persons not registered as taxable persons for the purposes of VAT from deducting input VAT \u2014, as well as the loss actually incurred by the taxable person.\n\u00b7 According to the referring court, the judgment of 24 October 2013, Rafin\u0103ria Steaua Rom\u00e2n\u0103 (C\u2011431/12, EU:C:2013:686, paragraph 25) may indicate that the amount of interest due cannot be reduced in the light of circumstances unrelated to the actions of the taxable person himself. However, in so far as the purpose of such interest is to compensate the taxable person for the loss that he incurred owing to the unavailability of the corresponding funds, the referring court considers that a long period of unavailability of funds may give rise to a disproportionate amount of interest when compared with the loss actually incurred and that the criteria of reasonableness and fairness, which guide both the tax administration, in accordance with Article 8(3) of the Law on Tax Administration, and the national court, may lead to a reduction in that amount.\n\u00b7 Nevertheless, given the purposes of the VAT refund, inter alia that of not exposing the taxable person to any financial risk, the referring court observes that the adverse financial consequences resulting from the unavailability of funds may occur after their refund. Consequently, the fact of linking the amount of interest due to the loss actually incurred by the taxable person, so as to reduce the amount of that interest, does not eliminate all financial risk and places the taxable person at a disadvantage, since the onus of proving the loss incurred would lie with him.\n\u00b7 In those circumstances, the Lietuvos vyriausiasis administracinis teismas (Supreme Administrative Court of Lithuania) decided to stay the proceedings and to refer the following question to the Court of Justice for a preliminary ruling:\n\u2018Should Article 183 of [the VAT Directive], read in conjunction with the principle of fiscal neutrality, be interpreted as precluding a reduction in the interest that is normally payable under national law on overpaid (excess) VAT which was not refunded (offset) in due time, which takes into account circumstances other than those resulting from the actions of the taxable person himself, such as the relationship between the interest and the overpaid amount not refunded in due time, the period of time during which the overpayment was not refunded and the underlying reasons for this, as well as the losses actually incurred by the taxable person?\u2019\nArticle 183 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax, read in the light of the principle of fiscal neutrality, must be interpreted as precluding a reduction in the amount of interest normally payable under national law on overpaid value added tax which was not refunded in due time for reasons connected to circumstances not attributable to the taxable person, such as the high amount of that interest when compared with the amount of the overpaid value added tax, the period of time during which the overpayment was not refunded and the underlying reasons for this, as well as the losses actually incurred by the taxable person.\n\u00b7 As a preliminary point, it should be noted that it is clear from the grounds of the request for a preliminary ruling that, following the delivery of the judgment of 12 May 2011, Enel Maritsa Iztok 3 (C\u2011107/10, EU:C:2011:298), the referring court decided that it is necessary, for the purposes of the dispute before it, to calculate the default interest due to Nidera on the amount of overpaid VAT refunded from the expiry of the period referred to in Article 87(7)(1) of the Law on Tax Administration, which Nidera and the Lithuanian Government confirmed at the hearing. The referring court therefore asks the Court for a ruling, not on the date from which default interest is payable, but solely on the possibility of reducing the amount of such interest.\n\u00b7 By its question, the referring court asks, in essence, whether Article 183 of the VAT Directive, read in the light of the principle of fiscal neutrality, must be interpreted as precluding a reduction in the amount of interest normally payable under national law on overpaid VAT which was not refunded in due time due to circumstances not attributable to the taxable person, such as the high amount of interest when compared with the amount of the overpaid VAT, the period of time during which the overpayment was not refunded and the underlying reasons for this, as well as the loss actually incurred by the taxable person.\n\u00b7 It should be noted that, although Article 183 of the VAT Directive does not lay down any obligation to pay interest on a refund of overpaid VAT or the date from which such interest is payable, it cannot be concluded from that fact alone that that article must be interpreted as meaning that no control may be exercised under EU law over the procedures established by Member States for the refund of overpaid VAT (judgments of 12 May 2011, Enel Maritsa Iztok 3, C\u2011107/10, EU:C:2011:298, paragraphs 27 and 28, and of 6 July 2017, Glencore Agriculture Hungary, C\u2011254/16, EU:C:2017:522, paragraph 18).\n\u00b7 First, while the implementation of the right to a refund of overpaid VAT provided for in Article 183 of the VAT Directive falls, as a general rule, under the procedural autonomy of the Member States, the fact remains that that autonomy is circumscribed by the principles of equivalence and effectiveness (see, to that effect, judgments of 12 May 2011, Enel Maritsa Iztok 3, C\u2011107/10, EU:C:2011:298, paragraph 29; of 19 July 2012, Littlewoods Retail and Others, C\u2011591/10, EU:C:2012:478, paragraph 27; and of 24 October 2013, Rafin\u0103ria Steaua Rom\u00e2n\u0103, C\u2011431/12, EU:C:2013:686, paragraph 20).\n\u00b7 Second, it follows from the Court\u2019s case-law that certain specific rules must be complied with by the Member States in implementing the right to a refund of overpaid VAT arising from Article 183 of the VAT Directive, interpreted in the light of the general context and principles governing VAT (judgments of 24 October 2013, Rafin\u0103ria Steaua Rom\u00e2n\u0103, C\u2011431/12, EU:C:2013:686, paragraph 21, and of 6 July 2017, Glencore Agriculture Hungary, C\u2011254/16, EU:C:2017:522, paragraph 19).\n\u00b7 Thus, while the Member States have a certain freedom in determining the conditions for the refund of overpaid VAT, those conditions cannot undermine the principle of fiscal neutrality by making the taxable person bear the burden of the VAT in whole or in part. In particular, such conditions must enable the taxable person, in appropriate circumstances, to recover the entirety of the credit arising from that overpaid VAT. This implies that the refund is made within a reasonable period of time and that, in any event, the method of refund adopted does not entail any financial risk for the taxable person (judgments of 12 May 2011, Enel Maritsa Iztok 3, C\u2011107/10, EU:C:2011:298, paragraph 33, and of 6 July 2017, Glencore Agriculture Hungary, C\u2011254/16, EU:C:2017:522, paragraph 20).\n\u00b7 In that regard, when the refund to the taxable person of the overpaid VAT is not made within a reasonable period, the principle of fiscal neutrality of the VAT system requires that the financial loss incurred by the taxable person on account of the unavailability of the sums of money at issue be compensated through the payment of default interest. In the absence of EU legislation on VAT, it is for the internal legal order of each Member State to lay down the conditions under which default interest must be paid, particularly the rate of that interest and its method of calculation, whilst nevertheless observing the principle of fiscal neutrality (see, to that effect, judgments of 12 May 2011, Enel Maritsa Iztok 3, C\u2011107/10, EU:C:2011:298, paragraphs 33, 53 and 54; of 19 July 2012, Littlewoods Retail and Others, C\u2011591/10, EU:C:2012:478, paragraph 27; and of 24 October 2013, Rafin\u0103ria Steaua Rom\u00e2n\u0103, C\u2011431/12, EU:C:2013:686, paragraphs 22 and 23).\n\u00b7 With regard to the dispute in the main proceedings, the referring court states that, in accordance with Article 87(9) of the Law on Tax Administration, the rate of interest due in the event of late payment of overpaid VAT to the taxable person is the same as that of interest applicable to taxable persons in the event of late payment of the tax. In accordance with Article 99 of that law, that rate of interest is calculated by increasing the weighted average annual interest rate for government bonds issued in the previous calendar quarter by the Republic of Lithuania by ten percentage points.\n\u00b7 The referring court takes the view that, where a particularly late refund of overpaid VAT results in a long period of unavailability of funds, such a calculation could lead to an amount of compensatory interest that is disproportionate to the loss actually incurred by the taxable person. It states that, in those circumstances, the criteria of reasonableness and fairness entitle both the tax authorities, pursuant to Article 8(3) of the Law on Tax Administration, and the national courts to fix a reduction in that amount for the reasons mentioned in the question referred for a preliminary ruling, which are not related to the conduct of the taxable person. However, according to the reply of the Lithuanian Government to a question put by the Court at the hearing, up to the present, such a reduction has never been applied by the national courts.\n\u00b7 As regards, in the first place, a reduction on account of the amount of interest normally due, under the rules of national law, having regard to the amount of the overpaid VAT, as the Advocate General observed in point 35 of his Opinion, that interest is only compensation for the loss of income resulting from the duration of the non-payment of the principal. It follows that a reduction in that amount which is motivated solely by its significance in comparison with the principal amount to be refunded would imply for the taxable person the risk that the payment of default interest does not cover the entire period during which the principle of fiscal neutrality requires, according to the case-law cited in paragraphs 24 and 25 above, that the unavailability of the sums in question be compensated by the payment of default interest.\n\u00b7 In the second place, as regards the duration of the period of non-payment, it follows from the previous paragraph that that duration cannot in itself justify a reduction in the default interest, since the amount of that interest is specifically intended to compensate the financial losses incurred by the taxable person during that period. In addition, the possibility of reducing the amount of the interest due on account of the period of non-payment could mean that the tax authorities would not be encouraged to refund the overpaid VAT as soon as possible, which is also capable of giving rise to a financial risk for the taxable person contrary to the principle of fiscal neutrality.\n\u00b7 Furthermore, it must be made clear that the refusal of the tax authorities to refund the overpaid VAT claimed by Nidera before delivery of the judgment of 21 October 2010, Nidera Handelscompagnie (C\u2011385/09, EU:C:2010:627), also cannot justify a reduction in the amount of default interest. It must be borne in mind that the interpretation which the Court, in the exercise of the jurisdiction conferred upon it by Article 267 TFEU, gives to a rule of EU law clarifies and, where necessary, defines the meaning and scope of that rule as it must be, or ought to have been, understood and applied from the time at which it entered into force (judgments of 27 March 1980, Denkavit italiana, 61/79, EU:C:1980:100, paragraph 16, and of 14 April 2015, Manea, C\u201176/14, EU:C:2015:216, paragraph 53 and the case-law cited).\n\u00b7 Moreover, from the perspective of the taxpayer, there is no material difference between a refund delayed because a claim was dealt with administratively after the expiry of the periods and one delayed by administrative measures which unlawfully preclude the refund and are subsequently annulled by a ruling of the Court of Justice (see, by analogy, judgment of 24 October 2013, Rafin\u0103ria Steaua Rom\u00e2n\u0103, C\u2011431/12, EU:C:2013:686, paragraph 25).\n\u00b7 As regards, in the third place, the possibility for a national court to reduce the amount of interest normally due under national rules in order to take account of the losses actually incurred by a specific taxable person by reason of having been deprived, during the period of non-payment, of the amount of overpaid VAT to be refunded, such a possibility implies that it is for the taxable person to demonstrate the real financial losses which he has incurred by reason of being deprived of those funds.\n\u00b7 Nevertheless, the Lithuanian Government maintains, first, that the rate of interest provided for in Article 99 of the Law on Tax Administration not only aims to offset the loss incurred by the taxable person but entails, by virtue of the increase by ten percentage points of the annual interest rate for government bonds, a punitive element equivalent to a penalty. It submits that, in accordance with Article 87(9) of that law, the rate of interest due to the taxable person in the event of non-payment of overpaid VAT within the stipulated period is the same as the rate of interest applicable to taxable persons in the event of late payment of the tax.\n\u00b7 Second, it submits, the rate set in Article 99 of the Law on Tax Administration applies only to the period from the date of the decision of the tax authority or, where appropriate, of the courts upholding the request for a refund to the date at which the overpaid VAT was refunded to the taxable person in full. The Lithuanian Government infers from this that the application of that rate to the period preceding that decision would result in overcompensation for the loss incurred by the taxable person due to the unavailability of the funds to be refunded, which would enrich the taxable person unjustifiably.\n\u00b7 In that regard, it should be noted that the Lithuanian Government\u2019s arguments are based on an interpretation of the Lithuanian legislation which differs from that set out by the referring court. The order for reference does not state that the default interest at issue in the main proceedings is punitive in nature. Furthermore, as has been noted in paragraph 19 above, the referring court decided that the date from which interest is payable must be determined in accordance with Article 87(7)(1) of the Law on Tax Administration, which sets a period of 30 days from the date of receipt of the request for a refund, not from the date of the decision ruling on that request. It is for the referring court alone to interpret national legislation and it is for the Court to answer the question referred on the basis of the referring court\u2019s interpretation of that legislation (see, to that effect, judgment of 12 May 2011, Enel Maritsa Iztok 3, C\u2011107/10, EU:C:2011:298, paragraph 38).\n\u00b7 In any event, in the context of the freedom to establish the conditions for a refund of overpaid VAT set out in paragraph 23 above, the Member States are entitled to lay down default interest at a flat rate in order to ensure compensation according to rules which are easily managed and supervised by the tax authorities. As the Advocate General noted in point 33 of his Opinion, although in some special cases the amount of compensatory interest may exceed the actual loss incurred by the taxable person, this is merely a result of applying compensation at a flat rate, which by its very nature reflects the loss which the taxable person might, in the view of the national legislature, incur and not the loss actually incurred. In specific cases, compensation in the form of interest may be greater or less than the actual loss.\n\u00b7 However, if national legislation, such as that at issue in the main proceedings, provides for the payment of such default interest at a flat rate, it cannot, at the same time, provide for the possibility of excluding the payment of such default interest and merely compensating actual loss on the basis of the criteria of reasonableness and fairness, as the Lithuanian Government maintains. Such national legislation would mean that the taxable person is unable to foresee the circumstances in which it can expect to receive the payment of default interest at a flat rate and thus to adjust its activity accordingly. It is thus apparent that such legislation does not enable the taxable person, in appropriate circumstances, to recover the entirety of the credit arising from the overpaid VAT without being exposed to any financial risk, which is contrary to the principle of fiscal neutrality (see, by analogy, judgment of 12 May 2011, Enel Maritsa Iztok 3, C\u2011107/10, EU:C:2011:298, paragraphs 57 and 58).\n\u00b7 In the light of all the foregoing considerations, the answer to the question referred is that Article 183 of the VAT Directive, read in the light of the principle of fiscal neutrality, must be interpreted as precluding a reduction in the amount of interest normally payable under national law on overpaid VAT which was not refunded in due time for reasons connected to circumstances not attributable to the taxable person, such as the high amount of that interest when compared with the amount of the overpaid VAT, the period of time during which the overpayment was not refunded and the underlying reasons for this, as well as the losses actually incurred by the taxable person.\nThe opinion in this case as delivered by Advocate General Szpunar on October 5, 2017 can be found here.",

The exhibition showcases the result of the 2010competition dedicated to develop design projects related to the world of food and sustainability - in terms of environmental impact - for the consumer, packaging and testing of food law. Through the specific request of developing projects dedicated to the wine world, this year the contract has proposed a new project area. In partnership with the Chamber of Commerce of Torino was promoted the theme of the tasting as a creative challenge for the design of new concepts of disposable kits. Some 60 projects on display, visible at the first floor of the Eataly Turin, tell the research work of students and professionals who confronted to develop new ideas, consistent with the themes of the call. The 60 projects - selected from hundreds of submissions from 16 different countries including Australia, USA, India, China, Korea, Japan and Europe - will be exposed until October 28th, 2010. At the same time will be presented the section of the projects developed by students of the Polytechnic of Turin during the workshop in collaboration with Piazza dei Mestieri entitled \"Let you be tempted, play with food\". The workshop, which took place last spring, worked to came with proposals that combine the children food and their playing. The awards event is scheduled for Thursday, October 21 at 18.00 at the headquarters of Eataly Turin. Thanks to the collaboration with the International Food Design Society, the exhibition Food design\u00ae 6 will move later to London at the London Metropolitan University, from November 9th to 28th. The event will be preceded by the first International Symposium on \"Food Experience Design\", a workshop to discuss ideas, knowledge and explore the new frontiers of design as a necessary planning activity, able to respond to emerging needs and effective enhancement lever of the food industry and food design.

Not a difficult thing to improve upon, but still hard to get right. For me the assignment was complicated by the fact that I don\u2019t know shit about what people want from the DMV site, since I don\u2019t drive (though I do have a license, to the astonishment of all and sundry; my ongoing act of service to humanity is to abstain from using it). So for inspiration, I looked at some DMV sites from other states, as well as few government sites from abroad:\nUnited Kingdom: Directgov : Motoring | Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency\nAmsterdam: Getting around \u2013 they don\u2019t even have a DMV, as far as I could tell, since everybody rides bikes or uses public transport. Go, Holland!\nDenmark: Transport Ministry | Road Directorate | Institute for Transport | City of Copenhagen \u2013 none of these says anything about drivers\u2019 licenses that I could find, but they all have pleasant design\nAnd then, after working on my mockup for about four hours, I had the delightful experience of having Illustrator crash, taking my unsaved document with it. Joy! So then I got to do it again, this time in InDesign\u2014which only took about thirty minutes, because I\u2019m so much more ept with ID than I am with AI.\nWhine, whine. The result is as follows (click to see a PDF at actual resolution):\nI focused on getting rid of most of the graphic crap, moving some obviously unimportant information out of the way, and making the bulleted lists easier to read. There\u2019s still way too much text on the page, but without knowing what people go there to find out, I didn\u2019t think I was qualified to cut any of it.\nPhoto: ghia by Ryan Carver; some rights reserved.",

At a Halloween mixer during my junior year, I met my future husband, Lewis, who was attending Tufts Dental School. We were married the week after my college graduation and were blessed to celebrate our 53rd anniversary this past June.\nI taught junior high school and high school English and French for three years before having children and taking a hiatus to raise them. When I taught at Marblehead Junior High in 1966, I was shocked to see that Miss Hingston and Miss Henderson were probably less than 50 years old. And ten years earlier, when we were students there, I thought that they both were ancient! It is amazing how our perception changes over the years.\nWhen our two daughters were in high school, I became a private tutor for the verbal section of the SAT's and continued to do that part time for 30 years with excellent results. My husband retired from his dental practice eight years ago, and we have been thoroughly enjoying retirement here in beautiful Marblehead. We feel very fortunate that both daughters, their husbands, and our four grandchildren (ages 10-13) live in Swampscott, so we get to spend a lot of quality time together, a definite highlight of our lives. Lew and I enjoy taking walks, meeting friends, dining out, and especially going on ocean cruises ( total of 75 so far.) In fact, we just returned a few days ago from a fabulous cruise with our children and grandchildren on Royal Caribbean Allure of the Seas out of Ft. Lauderdale. That is definitely the best of both worlds!\nI have enjoyed reading so many interesting biographies and am looking forward to seeing many more. What a great idea Bob Chun had. Thanks!\nI'm looking forward to seeing many of you at the Birthday Party Reunion on August 26th. Safe travels!",

Mira Vranic\u2019s Impression Homes are built with a woman in mind\nAs Published by Business London Magazine Nov./06\nSHE'S YOUNG AND SHE'S BEAUTIFUL. But spend some time with 30-year-old homebuilder Mira Vranic and you\u2019ll quickly realize she can also be unrelenting, unforgiving and as tough as nails. These are, of course, traits that come with the territory. Yet, as the president of Impression Homes, a company aspiring to turn the local homebuilding industry on its ear, Vranic also has the brawn and brains to let her softer side bubble through. After all, after spending almost a decade competing in the male-dominated residential construction industry, she\u2019s absorbed more than her fair share of bruises. There isn\u2019t much she hasn\u2019t seen or heard, and she knows there isn\u2019t a hoop she hasn\u2019t been forced to jump through...twice. So, every so often, when the whole process seems a little emotionally overwhelming, she\u2019ll shed a tear. And then get back to work.\nBut there\u2019s irony at work here, too, because it\u2019s that softer feminine side that is leading Vranic and her company down a new path\u2014a trailblazing of sorts that will most certainly be watched closely by the local homebuilding industry at large. Simply put, Impression Homes is about to unveil a package of home properties designed, built and marketed exclusively with the female purchaser in mind. Appearing on seven lots acquired from Sifton Properties within its RiverBend Golf Community in northwest London, the detached homes\u2014 scheduled for a January 2007 grand opening\u2014boast unique designs for women, by a woman, starting at $350,000. It\u2019s a massive step for a company that has built just five homes since its incorporation in 1997. Then again, there just aren\u2019t a lot of 21-year-old females who launch homebuilding companies. And there are even fewer developers willing to hand over lots to inexperienced young builders\u2014male, female or Martian.\n\u201cI would get the lot that nobody else wanted\u2014a lot on the corner that backs onto a major street,\u201d explains Vranic. \u201cI don\u2019t want to speculate or speak for anyone else, I just know it was very, very difficult for me to get lots. And let\u2019s be honest. At 21, who is willing to give you a mortgage? I would go to the bank and they would look at me like, \u2018You\u2019re a cute little girl, but\u2026\u2019 So my mother helped me get started.\u201d In many ways, the family aid was just another brick in a career foundation that Vranic says is \u201ctruly in her blood.\u201d Raised in St. Thomas and Tillsonburg by hard-working Croatian immigrant parents Marko and Kata Filipovic, Vranic grew up on the job site. Marko painted homes for more than 50 years, while Kata cleaned new homes in preparation of move-in dates.\n\u201cMy mom would bring me in a bassinet to the job site,\u201d says Vranic. \u201cAnd without money for daycare my mom would bring me along on the days my dad needed extra help.\u201d When she was old enough,Vranic joined in the work, cleaning, sanding, staining and painting newly-constructed homes. And though she went on to study for a sociology degree at UWO, she moonlighted by reading the Ontario Building Code, cover to cover. \u201cIt\u2019s not typical reading material,\u201d laughs Vranic, \u201cbut this building passion was always in the back of mind.\u201d\nIt\u2019s a passion that spilled over to her adult personal life as well. Vranic\u2019s husband, John Vranic, shared her love for the homebuilding industry, and with her encouragement, left his job as a maintenance electrician at Ford Talbotville to form Vranic Homes in 2003. Today, Mira handles the design and sales (she is also a licensed realtor) end of the Vranic Homes business, while John, 34, spends his time on-site.\nIn fact, the success of Vranic Homes helped boost Vranic\u2019s confidence and further her desire to create a unique mark with Impression Homes. It also wasn\u2019t lost on the building community.\nPhil Masschelein, Sifton\u2019s senior land manager, says it was the strength of the Vranic husband-and-wife team that sold him on Impression Homes. \u201cI saw something in them,\u201d he says. \u201cHe is very acquainted with construction, and she has a real passion for design, promoting and marketing, so the two of them together show some real potential.\u201d\nTalking about the new Impression Homes models, Vranic says \u201cthey\u2019re personalized, not custom.\n\u201cPeople hear custom and they right away think $500,000- plus. That\u2019s not the case. I believe everyone deserves a home that is personalized to their needs. This is the biggest investment of their life. They deserve personalization and more time during the design phase.\u201d\nIn the design of her homes, Vranic says she focuses on the fact women are embracing their roles as household decision makers who want builders to connect with their lifestyles. Models will feature space options for regrouping and destressing, a big emphasis on storage, rooms for multiple uses and even larger garages to accommodate the suburban mom\u2019s vehicle of choice\u2014the minivan.\nOf course, customizing homes is not a new concept, but Vranic says Impression Homes will leave no stone unturned when catering to the female buyer. A typical model will feature an open concept design, with a living room/great room open to a functional kitchen area. \u201cA place where moms preparing meals can still watch over the kids, interact with them while they are doing their homework or just be able to chat and bond with her family,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s also fabulous for entertaining since everyone congregates around the kitchen. The hostess can still interact with her guests.\u201d\nImpression Homes will also look to maximize space usage. \u201cThere is never enough storage in a home, period,\u201d states Vranic, noting that walk-in closets will provide a tidier, more functional home, and dead space like room corners will feature bookshelves or storage cabinets. In addition, the en suite adjacent to the master bedroom will be large\u2014a spa within a home\u2014and living rooms and family rooms will be expanded to accommodate families who today spend more time at home than ever before. Special attention will also be paid to wiring, enabling the home to be outfitted with the latest in security, entertainment, appliance and home office technologies.\nFemale-centric design, however, is just part of the Impression Homes business model. Vranic has also enlisted a marketing team to brand the product in a distinct fashion. Advertising will target female buyers and promote the fact Impression Homes is owned and operated by a female builder. Marketing images will depict women as the family decision makers, and artwork will target women through use of liberal, coordinated colours.\nSifton\u2019s Masschelein says despite the fact he \u201ctook a risk\u201d offering lots to an unproven, virtually unknown homebuilder with a new method of designing and marketing homes, he does comprehend Vranic\u2019s marketing methods.\n\u201c(Sifton) has done a lot of market research, including focus groups,\u201d says Masschelein. \u201cPurchasing a new home is a complicated process. Amenities and location are important. The initial homebuying decisions are made by women, so I do see the merit in what Mira is trying to do.\u201d\nVranic already has a big fan in Joanne Thomas Yaccato, author of The 80% Minority: Reaching the Real World of Women Consumers. As president of a Toronto-based consulting firm specializing in helping companies apply gender intelligence to better their business, she says Vranic is on the right track.\n\u201cHomes are primarily a woman\u2019s domain,\u201d says Thomas Yaccato. \u201cIt\u2019s jaw dropping to me that (building homes for women and marketing to women) is just now catching on.\u201d She adds that she is not surprised Vranic has faced roadblocks along the way. \u201cWomen not being taken seriously is a major complaint.\u201d\nInterestingly, Thomas Yaccato inspired Calgary homebuilder Shane Wenzel of Shane Homes to develop two model homes incorporating gender design strategies.Using many of the same designs Impression Homes will embody, his models include gourmet kitchens, an abundance of counter and cupboard space, a walk-in pantry with motion-triggered lighting and even equal-sized children\u2019s bedrooms so kids won\u2019t argue with mom over who has the largest room.\n\u201cAlmost all of the decisions about whether to purchase a particular home are made by women,\u201d says Thomas Yaccato, whose research also shows that women do most of the househunting and that single women buy more homes than single men.\nLocally, seeing a woman in charge of a homebuilding company is rare, but not entirely new. For example, Lina Pittao is president of Pittao Homes, and Nancy Strik is president of Double N Homes. There has also been one female president of the London Home Builders\u2019 Association\u2014Rennie Pieterman of Practical Plumbing in 2003.\nIn her vision for Impression Homes, Vranic believes a quality home playing to needs of women will be marketing hit at RiverBend\u2014a niche that will lead to expansion of the business and its concept to other communities across southwestern Ontario.\n\u201cMira is extremely ambitious and a true go-getter,\u201d says her husband, John. \u201cNo matter what roadblocks she may encounter, she never gives up and always stays positive. She has accomplished so much as a young businesswoman and leader.\u201d\n\u201cThis has been a work in progress for 30 years,\u201d she says simply. \u201cI know what women want in a home.\u201d",

The United States is like a person in that way. Every single person who has lived in America has added his or her patch to the red, white, and blue quilt. Each patch is a story. Without one patch the entire quilt would be different. The contributions to the quilt by the early immigrants are very important to the history of America. The immigrants had drastic affects on the United States and the United States in return, had extreme influences on the immigrants.\nImmigration changed and continues to alter the United States in many ways. By 1850, America was bombarded with immigrants from every corner of the world. People trying to escape hardships in their home country, looked to America as the answer. With them, they brought many things to add to America such as, tradition, religion, but most of all, a piece of their home. Diversity was created and intolerance was born. Not to say these things did not exist in the United States before the immigrants, it did, but it grew more vicious and spread like a plague throughout America.\nThe immigrants cause industrialization to become a major part of the US. We needed workers and they needed work. Industrialization skyrocketed in the United States, due to the massive immigration rate. With more and more workers pouring in, towns became cities and cities became bigger cities. Over population caused everything to decline in quality.\nOn the other hand, America took its toll on the newcomers. Everything was so fresh to them. Different lifestyles, beliefs, opinions, and \"the American way\" of this and that, all were thrown at the immigrants. Many tried to dodge these things and hold strong how they were raised to live and what to believe. Others found it easier to mold to everything around them. As time passed, the things they thought to be important at one time became less important to the immigrants.\nAmerica brought the world together only for it to be segregated by intolerance. Almost everyone in the US at that point in time was both a hater and the hated. One type of person didn't like another, then, that person didn't like another. It is a type of never ending cycle, which still exists today. It will always exist because diversity will always exist.\nTo conclude, with the good follows the bad and with the bad follows the good. These people came to America searching for something they didn't have. It could have been happiness, success, love, anything, whether or not they truly found what they were in search for, may never be answered. We can only hope that all the hardships they endured were not purposeless. The immigrants were and continue to make up a large portion of the quilt.",

You are welcome to use them to inspire yourself for writing your own term paper. If you need a custom term paper related to the subject of Slavery or The Impeding Crisis, you can hire a professional writer here in just a few clicks.\nAn Impending Crisis The Missouri Compromise provided for the admission of Maine into the Union as a free state, the admission of Missouri into the Union as a slave state, and the removal of slavery north of Missouri. Importantly, this compromise reaffirmed the principle established in the Northwest Ordinance that Congress could, if it chose, prohibit slavery in the territories. While the Northwest Ordinance excluded slavery from the unorganized region of the nation west of Pennsylvania and north of the Ohio River, the Missouri Compromise appeared to resolve the issue of slavery in the territories, but the war with Mexico rearoused the controversy. Representative David Wilmot introduced a provision stating that slavery should never exist in any territory that might be gained from Mexico shortly after the war started. Though it passed the House, the slave states blocked it in the Senate. The Wilmot Proviso came to symbolize the issue of slavery in the territories. By 1850, the South, fearing that the strength of the North in Congress might lead to an attack on slavery where it already existed, was determined that slavery should expand. In contrast, the North was determined to prevent the expansion of slavery in the territories. Therefore, the issue was the status of the territory acquired from Mexico. Should the territory be slave or free? Congress was forced to face the problem when California requested for admission to the Union with a constitution prohibiting slavery. Nevertheless, In 1850, Henry Clay presented a package bill to the Senate designed to settle all the issues at once. After being broken up into separate elements that were voted on individually, the series of measures became the Compromise of 1850.\nIn January 1854, continuous angers were again aroused when Senator Stephen Douglas proposed to establish territorial government in the Nebraska country, part of the Louisiana Purchase, on the basis of popular sovereignty. By allowing popular sovereignty to decide whether or not slavery would be allowed in the Nebraska country, Douglas' bill would reverse the provision of the Missouri Compromise and prohibit slavery in the Louisiana Purchase. The Kansas-Nebraska Bill sponsored by Douglas would organize the Nebraska country into two territories. Kansas would be slave and Nebraska would be free. Congress debated the Kansas-Nebraska Bill for four months. President Franklin Pierce supported the bill and urged Northern congressmen to support it. The president's intervention proved crucial, and the bill was passed in May 1854 mainly with the support of the Southerners. The issue of slavery resurfaced throughout the history of early America. It brought about turmoil which would inevitably divide the Union and would endanger its stability. A majority of the resolutions essentially gave America more time to ponder the issue not effectively dealing with the problem.

        "raw_content": "\u201cSettle down, it\u2019ll be all clear. Don\u2019t pay no mind to the demons, they fill you with fear. The trouble it might drag you down. If you get lost you can always be found. Just know you\u2019re not alone, cause I\u2019m gonna make this place your home.\u201d\nI was just listening to my iPod and this song came up and I thought it would be a fitting start to this new blog post, because really, this last month I just needed to take one big huge deep breath and calm the heck down. Things are so much better in college since the last time I blogged; it\u2019s not perfect, but gosh, I\u2019m actually happy.\nI\u2019ll start with my roommate. Her name is Alysha and she is absolutely fantastic. I\u2019ve heard so many horror stories about different people\u2019s crazy roommates but so far me and her have gotten along so well. We\u2019re both Christians and at that we\u2019re both Baptists (what are the odds?) so having her as a roommate has been an encouragement and it\u2019s definitely been a God thing that we were put together. We have a lot in common and a few weekends ago I actually went home with her to meet her family and check out her town for the weekend.\nWe\u2019ve both gotten pretty involved in a Christian organization on campus called Impact and it has been so much fun meeting everyone in it. We went to a house party last night and had a potluck dinner and played games. Me and Alysha just brought chips because we can\u2019t really cook anything in the dorm very easily. With big group gatherings I usually tend to be kind of awkward and don\u2019t enjoy them very much, just because I\u2019m kind of a quiet and introverted person. But last night was so great.\nAs far as classes, I\u2019m fairly confident in all of them. I still don\u2019t necessarily enjoy them, but that\u2019s okay. I\u2019ve pretty much decided to drop my French major and not even consider it for a minor either. I loved it in high school, but I really think that was largely due to my teacher. My professor is literally the stereotype of a Frenchman: snobby, rude, intimidating, and doesn\u2019t understand a word that anyone is saying unless you pronounce it perfectly. So that class is really a pain. I\u2019m wondering if it\u2019s just my professor and if I should give it another shot next semester, but I don\u2019t want to waste my time. Just have to think about it some more.\nInstead, I\u2019m considering majoring in business administration. I need to talk to the business college advisers and get some more overall information still, so that\u2019s another step forward. Both Andrew and Becky both thought that Business would be better suited to me than French, so we\u2019ll see. Plus my roommate is a business major, so that would be fun.\nMe and Andrew are planning on heading back home towards the end of October which I\u2019m really excited about. I miss my family and friends and my dog! That furry slobbery lump of joy I have missed so much. Plus, I didn\u2019t bring hardly any winter clothes with me and it\u2019s been getting cold so I need to bring some of that back!\nI received a care package from one of my aunt\u2019s yesterday and it was so sweet. She included all of my favorite junk food and included a note that said, \u2018When things get rough, call on Christ. And a little bit of junk food. Junk food helps too.\u2019 So now I have enough junk food to last me a good month! And something else to snack on when the cafeteria food gets old (which it is starting to).\nOn a bit of a different note, I am so so so excited for NaNoWriMo in November. I know that it\u2019s not even October yet, but I already have a plot in mind for my novel and have started with character development. Anyone else planning on doing NaNo this year? Because I think that you should. It\u2019s one of the best experiences that I think everyone should at least try once! And while I think I must be some kind of neurotic person for attempting to do this on top of school and all of my other obligations, I keep thinking I managed it my senior year with six honors classes and pulled a 4.8 GPA. I got this.\nThat\u2019s another phrase I keep telling myself. I got this. Because I can. I can do this.\n(P.S. For whatever reason, my laptop won\u2019t let me view CO.CC domains. I don\u2019t know what the problem is but I love all you lovelies, I just can\u2019t view or comment on your sites! If you have any ideas to what the problem may be, that would be much appreciated!)\n6 thoughts on \u201cFinally Settling Down\u201d\nIt\u2019s so nice to hear that you\u2019re doing well! I\u2019m glad that your roommate is nice- I can\u2019t imagine having a horrible roommate for a whole year D;\nMajoring in business sounds fun! I really want to major in business when I go to college, and then go to law school for grad school\nIt\u2019s so nice of your aunt to send you that awesome care package. ^-^\nOh and what is NaNoWriMo?\nGood luck in college! I hope you continue to have a good time\nNaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month. Essentially, you write a 50,000 word novel in November, and only in November. The goal is to reach the 50,000 word count mark and you win. It is challenging, but a rewarding experience and definitely recommend at least trying it!\nIt\u2019s tiffany (falling-up.org) and I got a new site haha, I kinda of forgot to renew my domain and I want to make sure I like blogging again before I (maybe) buy another one.\nThat is great that you love your roommate! My roommate and I aren\u2019t \u201cbest friends\u201d but we are good roommate with each other. We are just different, yet we respect each other. I am much more into socializing that she is. She is in marching band and plays rugby. How is college going for you?\nI am considering switching majors too, it\u2019s a hard decision since there are SO many options. I might go to business because Syracuse has a pretty good business school or maybe communications. Or maybe I\u2019ll stay in art. haha.\nDoes your boyfriend go to the same school as you?\nHey Becca! How are you?\nI\u2019m leaving a comment after a think.\nI hadn\u2019t been around much, just blogged a couple of days back\u2026 but you can\u2019t view co.cc sites! that\u2019s so bad!\nWell, it seems like you really are enjoying your college and hostel life\u2026which college are you in? and which year? I\u2019m in my second year of college, but I\u2019ve not had any experience of hostel life\u2026 how is it?\nYou have a dog? what breed is it?\nI know! It\u2019s such a bummer because I have quite a few friends, including you, with co.cc domains. I think I\u2019ve figured it out and I think my school\u2019s internet is blocking them. So only when I come home on weekends (which isn\u2019t often) will I be able to.\nI\u2019m attending the University of Missouri \u2013 Kansas City and I\u2019m a freshman. Dorming on campus is pretty good. The rooms are small, but we actually have managed to make it so we have a lot of space still. And I love my roommate, so it\u2019s great. We have noise problems sometimes, but other than that, it\u2019s fine. I\u2019ll probably live in an apartment next year though. Just because it will be cheaper.\nI do have a dog, and he is a labradoodle mix. He\u2019s got labrador, poodle, golden retriever, greyhound, who knows what else in him, haha. He basically just looks like a golden retriever though, no curly hair or anything.\nYea I was going for the \u201cSimplistic\u201d look. This is new for me cause all my blogs use to have like an image. haha I am glad to be back, we\u2019ll see how long I last. Hopefully it\u2019s for a while. Blogging just helps me relieve stress.\nThat\u2019s good that you guys have some space though I know many couples who don\u2019t have the space. It\u2019s also nice you are at the same university. Is he dorming too?\nI think I am going to switch majors\u2026I am very confused haha",

        "raw_content": "The One With The Trouble Trouble\nIt's amazing how the world works. While the rich gets richer, the poor is getting helped while I'm making ends meet. While I'm typing this to make my brain think of something to write about my own personal life stories that may happened a few days back or a while ago, I'm still thinking about how driving drives me crazy. Yes, I want to live in the fast lane and yes I want to get myself a car in the near distant future but buying a car is a symbol of a whole lot of things that people may took in a bad and good way. Well, of course, yes, its a sign of wealth and a sign of you doing well but it may also a symbol of greed and selfishness wanting to own a car. Yes, there are people out there, the haters hating us doing good who might just happen to be your own close friends or relatives. And I don't want that to happen you know what I mean. I don't want consumerism to affect any relationship that I have with the people I know. You may find this rubbish, but I'm the shit.\nLook at these cakes. Cake is a symbol. Since we're talking about symbol, I might as well speak something about symbol of a cake. A cake is usually bought during special occasion for example, the most common one would be birthdays, weddings, during festive seasons like Hari Raya and Chinese New Year. Why is it so stereo typically a cake must be present in those events. What can't a cake be present on a wake, or during child birth, during the making of that child or even some stupid event you celebrate your divorce anniversary. You see, a symbol of a cake is too much associated with joyous moments that we lost the main purpose of a cake, which is to get fat and eat more cake and then feel happy. Oh wait, what am I typing, me, talking about symbolism? well, that just ain't me. I'm just putting it out there for y'all to read. And yeah to 2LT Andric, if you're reading this, buy us some cakes!\nWhy are there more white keys than black keys on a piano? Because whites is talented while the black is bitter, just like coffee, I mean coffin.\nThere's a conspiracy that states that piracy is actually a form of privacy and it might sounds racy but I think I'm sexy in my own damn way and I don't mean no disrespect to the inspector for inspecting my body, armour is too strong for you to touch and feel my balls.\nLet's end this post with one of my favourite motion of life, eh lepak ah, tak payah buat kerje keras, pakai otak je cukup.\nThe One With The Day 2\nThe One With The Syawal\nDay One of Hari Raya. Nothing feels great other than celebrating your own race's holiday. The month of Syawal is a month of forgiveness and second chances but I don't take second chance with 2nd Chance. I've been drinking less of gassy drink but instead requesting plain water to be serve. Like a bossy I'm not but I'm just practicing what I'm preaching, to stay away from sweet drinks and lead a healthy lifestyle. How ironic when I'm too sweet. I should hydrate myself more.\nShe's always late.\nStop hating and be great.\nCan never go wrong with black.\nThe One With Ramadhan\nAnother ramadhan had passed and I'm still making mistake in writing my blog posts. Grammatical error and wrong spellings shouldn't even be committed. On another note, so much happenings this ramadhan that make me realise how important a life is. Speaking to someone the day before and the day after, he's no more in this world is such a sad thing that I have to experienced. I guess that's the wonder of death, no one knows when will we be gone out of this world. Reflecting on my favourite position in bed while typing this on my laptop, I am starting to experience pain. What a wisdom.\nWelcome to Geylang. A land of colours, food, smoke, and malays during Ramadhan. Once a year, always so near.\nThe One With The Carousel\nThe day 10th August 2012 falls on a friday. Approximately around 7.16pm, I had my first cup of Bandung at Carousel, accompanied by the love of my life. We were there to celebrate the celebration of a constitution in a tight situation. It wasn't a tight predicament like how I expressed it but it was pretty much a dinner filled with love in the air and a hint of fishy smell. I wasn't complaning though, maybe because I have a flu and my nose is blocked about 57 percent.\nA big happy birthday to my one and only beloved. Age is just a number, so here's my number, and call me maybe.\nAs years goes by, we grow up to be a better person, faced by procrastination situation taking steps to get over it as soon as the clock ticks midnight. We will fight for the right to party. party all day and all night till we win the government and till our voices heard and changes happen in our local store.\nJust the other night, something cliche hit me. Money is the most important thing in the world, but at the same time, it's not the most important thing in the world. Well, when she was just a little girl, she expected the world. Here's one thing money can buy, a maid. Here's something money can't buy, the freedom of rights of a man.\nI don't smile, I'm opening up my mouth to show my teeth to the world.",

        "raw_content": "Jacob Hollister Could Become Wyoming\u2019s 13th Super Bowl Champ\nAs an undrafted free agent out of college, nobody expected Jacob Hollister to ever play in the NFL. On Feb. 4, the New England Patriots tight end has a chance to become the 13th Super Bowl champion from Wyoming.\nOver the years, 17 players with Wyoming roots have represented the Cowboy State on the biggest stage in sports. Of those, 12 former players, either Wyoming natives or University of Wyoming alums, have gone on to win the Super Bowl.\nJay Novacek is the only three-time Super Bowl Champion in Wyoming history. Novacek starred at the University of Wyoming before winning three titles in four years with the Dallas Cowboys from 1993 to 1996.\nBoyd Dowler was a three-sport athlete at Cheyenne High School (now Cheyenne Central) before accepting a football scholarship at the University of Colorado. Drafted by the Green Bay Packers, Dowler was part of five NFL Championship teams and won Super Bowl I and II.\nJim Kiick was a star running back at UW who played in three Super Bowls. He helped the Miami Dolphins win back-to-back titles in Super Bowl VII and VIII and is a member of the only undefeated team in NFL history.\nDerrick Martin is the only other member of Wyoming\u2019s back-to-back Super Bowl Champion club. Martin played safety at UW before winning his first ring as a Green Bay Packer in Super Bowl XLV. The following year, Martin joined the New York Giants, who upset the Patriots to win Super Bowl XLVI.\nBrett Keisel honed his skills at Greybull High School. After attending Brigham Young University, he was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers, who won Super Bowl XL and XLIII.\nJerry Hill attended Lingle High School before enrolling at the University of Wyoming. The fullback appeared in two Super Bowls with the Baltimore Colts, falling to the New York Jets in Super Bowl III before avenging that loss two years later in Super Bowl V.\nHill\u2019s former college teammate Mark Smolinski was on the other sideline in Super Bowl III. The running back was part of the biggest upset in NFL history when Joe Namath guaranteed, and delivered, a victory over the heavily favored Colts.\nTony McGee was part of the infamous \"Black 14\" scandal in 1969. After being dismissed by Wyoming coach Lloyd Eaton, \"Mac the Sack\" finished his collegiate career at Bishop College and played in three Super Bowls during his 14 year NFL career, winning a ring with the 1983 Washington Redskins in Super Bowl XVII.\nJoe Williams was Wyoming's co-captain in 1969 when he was kicked off the team with McGee and 12 other teammates.

        "raw_content": "LAUSD Board Trustee McKenna Defends School Choice\n\u201cThe key to the success of a school is the principal, and the worst thing a school can have is a mediocre principal, not just lousy, but mediocre.\u201d \u2014 Dr. George McKenna\nAn educator since 1962, George McKenna has seen and experienced a lot in the world of education. He has been a classroom teacher, a principal, the subject of a made-for-television movie in 1986 (Hard Lessons: the George McKenna Story), starring Denzel Washington as McKenna, and he currently represents South Los Angeles on the LA Unified Board of Education. He has received over 400 awards and accolades to date, and his story is very interesting. I must admit that I did not know much about him myself until I read an article in a local education blog, but I have been intrigued ever since.\nAs a member of the Board of Education, McKenna recently added another notch to his belt, charter school advocate. Dr. McKenna recently spoke in defense of them at a NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) forum. On February 9, 2017 at a hearing before the NAACP\u2019s Task Force on Quality Education, he stated, \u201cBlack people need an alternative to underperforming public schools.\u201d He also emphasized the need to work together in a collaborative way rather than a competitive one among public and charter schools.\nYou may or may not be aware that the NAACP called for a moratorium on new charter schools throughout the country. Several supporters of school choice have come out in defense of charter schools, including Dr. McKenna. As a Board Member in the predominantly black District 1, Dr. McKenna\u2019s testimony is vital to the debate about educational choices for black children. We applaud his willingness to defend what is good for students. No doubt he has had to stand up to a variety of forces throughout his career to become the respected educational leader that he is and no doubt there will be more. I simply want to acknowledge that LAUSD has an educational hero serving as the Trustee from District 1 and though he has not been a huge supporter of all Charter Schools, his recent defense of school choice is encouraging! We need more leaders like him that are willing to see the positive aspects and undeniable results of school choices for parents, especially in communities of color like District 1.\nBlog, LA CountyLAUSD, school choiceLeticia Chavez-GarciaLeave a comment\nUn H\u00e9roe en Su Ciudad Natal!",

As a consultant, he has enabled other businesses to thrive. As an author, Gary has found a way to deliver his insights to the masses. For the remarkable accomplishments that his career has made possible, Gary Harpst is the National Leader of the Month for May 2008.\nAbout Gary Harpst\nFounder and CEO of Six Disciplines Corporation and Author\nFavorite quote: Gary's paraphrase of the C.S. Lewis quote: the key to understanding man and the universe is we all agree on what\u2019s right and wrong and none of us do it. Six Disciplines was started because of the idea that most business people know many of the things they should do, but they don\u2019t do them. I was actually speaking at a conference one time..., and I asked the people how the conference was going for them. They said, \u201cIt\u2019s great, but I probably won\u2019t be doing anything about it two years from now.\u201d I couldn\u2019t get that out of my mind on the plane ride back, and the more I thought about it, the broader I thought that the issue was. C.S. Lewis would say that there is something about mankind: Whether it is fitness or business practices or relationships, we struggle doing the things we know we should do. That became a mission for Six Disciplines: let\u2019s do what we can do to help small and midsize businesses to apply many of the things they know they ought to and just don\u2019t.\nFavorite book: That is [a difficult] question. I do like a lot of C. S Lewis\u2019s material, including his Mere Christianity. [Lewis] is such a deep thinker with respect to laying foundational truth and integrating it into your life. From a business point of view I\u2019ve always enjoyed the Peter Senge book, The Fifth Discipline: The art and practice of the learning organization. I\u2019ve liked a lot of Al Reece's material. It\u2019s older material, but he and his partner [Jack Trout] were instrumental to me in understanding marketing and positioning. Michael Porter has always been the best for me on strategic thinking.\nBooks recommended for aspiring leaders: For small businesses I like Michael Gerber\u2019s material; his theme is wonderful in terms of getting an early leader to realize the different roles of leadership. A lot of John Maxwell's material has been really good on leadership thoughts. [Maxell] has so many different books in print that I couldn\u2019t pick one, but his material is good.\nPlaces in the world you most like to visit: I have really enjoyed New York and Broadway, and I\u2019ve enjoyed London. I\u2019ve only been to Paris once. I\u2019ve not been anywhere in the Far East, but I\u2019d really like to go to China, Singapore, and Australia.\nExperiences vital to your development as a leader: My whole experience with starting a business (Solomon Software) in 1980 with my two partners. We committed to running that business with honesty and integrity to try to be true to our faith in the whole business. It was just a twenty-year wild ride. We happened to start right about ten or twelve months before IBM introduced the PC, and we were a software company. Over those twenty years we made about every mistake you can make in business and still managed to survive and even thrive. Ultimately, we sold the company to our competitor; 90 days later that company began negotiating with selling the whole thing to Microsoft. It was a special learning experience.\nBrian Clark shares the following thoughts on the leadership of Gary Harpst: \"The very concept of Six Disciplines demonstrates that Gary has the vision of a great leader \u2013 that\u2019s the fun part. What truly sets him apart is the leadership he models to his team all day, everyday, in fighting through the seemingly endless challenges required to execute any great vision. In my experience, Gary Harpst is one of a kind.\"\nGary Harpst and Leadership\nTalk about evaluating a corporate mission and its goals: We do that as part of the methodology that we follow in helping businesses. We start with asking the owner\u2019s leadership, \"What\u2019s important to this business?\" That is the essence of strategy. I think it was Michael Porter who said something to the effect of, \"The essence of strategy is deciding what not to do.\" Therefore, we ask our clients to answer [this] when it comes to vision or values: What is the purpose of this company from the perspective of our employees, and from our customers, and from our investors? When you ask that question from those three perspectives, you really are digging into the essence of why the organization exists. Lots of work is required to make sure that everybody is heard and you have a common vision...The key thing is to get everyone involved: not just one person\u2019s point of view but really an open dialogue.\nWhat about the notion of setting realistic yet challenging business goals across an entire organization. Could you talk a little bit about the challenge of doing that and how you go about getting that job done? We have learned a lot on that topic, and we\u2019ve found that there\u2019s a tendency for top leadership to set some top-down goals. [Top leadership personnel] need to give guidance to the organization, but then they need to view [that initial guidance] as sort of a draft. [Following the initial draft, the organization should] form teams below them. [Those teams] are comprised of the people who are going to be involved executing [the goals]; consequently, [those executors should] come up with the more detailed plans [for executing goals] right. We call that initiative development, and we have learned the hard way to not let the senior team go too far in crafting the goals before they involve those who have to deliver on it. This [practice] solves two problems. First, it verifies that the goals, themselves, are realistic. More importantly, it causes the people who have to work to deliver the goals to flesh through all the things that they need to do to meet the goals. The people get a better understanding of what the goals are all about, and they believe in them. [Without this methodology], either the people below the top leadership team don\u2019t understand the goals or they don\u2019t believe in them. How common is it for top leadership to be doing too much with that goal setting and visioning and not spreading that process out across the organization? I think it\u2019s very common. There are two situations we see over and over and over. One is the organization that is very tightly led by just a handful of people, and [there is] not much effective communication or involvement below. The other is the organization that is running so hard that even the small senior team doesn\u2019t have time to really sit and think about long term where they are trying to go. Those are the two different cases. In one, they have clear direction, but they don\u2019t involve anybody else; therefore, the organization doesn\u2019t execute very well getting there. In the other, everybody is running fast, and it is more reactive with no clear direction.\nCould you talk a little bit about choosing the best business book for an industry and ways to implement lessons from the book? Do you have a process around that? [It is amazing how many people report having seen or read great ideas but not having done anything about those ideas.]\nThe first step is looking at books that your friends have read...to see those that have...stayed perpetually read. There must be people getting value out of those. To be honest with you, I\u2019m not very optimistic that most organizations have the capability to act on what they read in those. I can give an example in our company: Solomon Software. When we were growing really rapidly, we were looking for a way to get control of the culture. The company had added so many people so fast that we felt like we were losing the character of the company. We went through the Seven Habits actual material. I personally trained everybody in the company on that material and became a facilitator, but two years later we really weren\u2019t doing a lot with it. It just slips away. That\u2019s actually what our new venture, Six Disciplines, is all about. I\u2019m writing a new book called Execution Revolution that describes what we learned and what it takes to make those best practices stick. The ideas in the book are part of it, but they are only one of four things.\nWhen you say \"one of four things,\" what are the other three? The first of the four is what I call a methodology: some systematic way to work on the business. Every product you make--whether it\u2019s a home or cookies or coffee--if you do it well, you have a repeatable methodology. The first thing that is needed is a blueprint to organize how you plan and set goals and measure the outcomes.\nSecond is some kind of a coaching relationship: an outside accountability relationship that needs to come from outside the company. If you go in and teach something and don\u2019t have somebody to come back and visit you in a quarter and say, \u201cWhere are you at on this?\u201d history (human nature) tells us that you won\u2019t stick to it. It is kind of like a fitness program. Our program requires an ongoing coach forever with the client. If they don\u2019t want to do that, we know they\u2019re not serious.\nThe third element is what we call the execution system. It\u2019s something that takes that methodology and helps every worker apply it everyday. Whether they\u2019re working at home, in the office, or at the hotel, they can stay connected and know whether they\u2019re on track for their goals or not. Today\u2019s Internet Age has made that more practical. It really wasn\u2019t practical years ago, but it is now, and it\u2019s changing the game for small and midsize businesses.\nThe last element is what we call a learning community. Most of the practices we talk about have been proven in large businesses, but they\u2019re very expensive and they are very hard to integrate into the organization. Big companies spend tens of millions of dollars putting all this stuff together. For small and midsize organizations, there needs to be some way to improve the economics. It needs to be practical for a smaller organization to learn best practices. With the Internet and the coaching network, you can share what you\u2019ve learned from one client\u2019s experiences to another. It\u2019s like you end up having sort of a pooled R&D department for best practice development; that makes it economical.\nAdvice to aspiring leaders: [By far, the most important thing] is making sure you work with people you trust. There is just nothing that can overcome an environment or culture of not trusting the people around you. My advice, which I\u2019ve given many, many times, is if you don\u2019t trust those above you or beside you, find another place. It\u2019s just not worth it. Of course that means that you, yourself, have to be trustworthy.\nWho is your most admired leader? In my lifetime, Ronald Reagan has been a hero of mine. I know a lot of people have not thought of him as a great intellect, but it seems to me he had an internal compass that guided his decision making. What you saw was what you got, and I always appreciated that in leadership. In today\u2019s politics, it\u2019s difficult to know really what someone stands for. Therefore, in contemporary times, my most admired leader would be Ronald Reagan.\nWhen you think about leadership highlights of your life, what would be some of the things that you would choose? One of the toughest times (and also the best time) was the time we had to do layoffs. I really had made a lot of mistakes as a leader and backed our Solomon Company into a situation where we couldn\u2019t employ half of our workforce any longer. It was just heartrending to have to lay off people that you\u2019ve worked with and helped build the company with. But in that whole experience was some of the greatest learning in my life. The \"pulling together\" that I saw with the team that remained and the determination to make the business work [was amazing]. In the next 10 years, the business grew 500 fold. Out of that tragedy came great success. It really gave me a conviction to never get in that situation again. I think it made me more mentally tough in this sense: As a manager, if you don't provide the discipline for your organization to be cost effective in doing what needs to be done, the marketplace will eventually do it for you. I resolved to never be a weak leader again [and neglect to] address the things that need to be addressed. That\u2019s life; out of some of the toughest things [that you run up against], some of your deepest values are formed.\nIs there a metaphor, a story or an analogy that you can offer about leadership in general? ...I married late in life, and I have a couple of teenagers who like playing a card game called Texas Hold 'em. I keep explaining to them that life itself is more interesting than any game of cards. In a game of cards, you are looking at your hand and seeing how good it is, and maybe you are betting some plastic chips or candy bars or something like that. Everyday in business life, it\u2019s like that. You are looking at the hand you have, thinking about how to play that hand and determining what to keep and what to throw away. I just love life and the decisions that go along with life; you don\u2019t always make [decisions] right, but they all matter and make life tremendously interesting. I never would have expected at this age when some people are retiring to have the energy and enthusiasm. I just can\u2019t wait to get out everyday.\nTraits most important in a leader: vision, honesty and passion\nThe vision is the first thing that I would look for. I remember reading in some ancient literature about Naphtali and a man called Issachar. The Old Testament, in fact, said that they understood the time and knew what to do about it. I think a leader really needs to be a student of the times and learn to know what to do about it.\nSecond, I think, is honesty. You just can\u2019t be a leader without people trusting you, and you can\u2019t be trusted if you can\u2019t tell the truth. It\u2019s more than just being truthful but that you have to be open as well. You can\u2019t be covering things up or hiding things.\nThe third is passion. I forget who made this statement, but people go in the direction the leader is going rather than the direction [the leader] is saying. That passion [means that] you have to lead by example, and you have to really roll up your sleeves; otherwise, nobody else will be interested either.\nHow typical do you think those characteristics are in a lot of our leaders? I\u2019ve been fortunate in my business life to work with small and midsize business organizations, and I think the honesty and passion is definitely there. I think sometimes leaders may not have the vision they need. It depends on the circumstances of the business. If you have somebody else on the staff [who is focusing on vision], or a [company] history of a parent who built the business, then being a caretaker [may work for a time]. In the long term, you need the vision.\nWhat are some of the things that organizations do that either encourages, or conversely, stifles leaders? One is creating a culture of fear: fear of failure and fear of making mistakes. If someone reports to you and is afraid to make a mistake, he or she becomes\u2026like my daughter in softball. She has not been hitting very well. Her fear causes her not to swing the bat very well, so it becomes self fulfilling. I think that\u2019s a huge limiting [factor]. [A leader needs to be] encouraging people to learn from their mistakes. The organization will be a better and stronger organization if people learn together rather than being afraid to try.\nWhat do you think are the best training programs out there for leaders and leadership? Our methodology is the best training program that I have seen. It wasn\u2019t really designed to be a training program, but the way you train people is by showing them, helping them, coming alongside them, and letting them learn on the job. I\u2019m not a huge fan of isolated training where all you do is go up and study. I much prefer the apprentice-master model where you are working alongside somebody and the nurturing and training are going on literally everyday.\nSetting clear goals, helping people participate in defining what the goals are, and working to pursue the goals is one of the biggest training benefits that you can get\u2026It reminds me of a golf coach I had. When he would give me lessons, he would say, \u201cNow go practice what we just worked on,\u201d and he would say, \u201cif you go to practice and just hit balls and don\u2019t have something to focus on, all you are doing is getting exercise. You are not practicing.\u201d\nThat\u2019s the way a goal is. If you give workers a clear goal, they are not always going to achieve that goal, but by focusing on it, they will learn faster. We are really big on the idea of clear goals and helping people work towards achieving them. To me, that is the way you grow leaders.\nHow has your leadership been challenged or tested, and how did you respond to that? I had another experience on the surface appear to be the opposite of the downsizing (referenced earlier). We had a tremendous success one time at Solomon Software where we won a major national award and got such publicity that our business doubled in about 90 days. On the surface, that looked really good, but it tested management unlike anything we ever went through. It took us probably almost a year to recover from being overwhelmed by having that much increase in a short period of time. Any of our processes and training of people on the phone broke down, and the quality got worse...\nWhat does good leadership look like to you? It\u2019s somebody that\u2019s really involved in helping the people under them become successful. I\u2019m one who likes to do a lot of things myself, and I have to constantly remind myself that if I do that, the organization can only do what I do. But if I learn to let go and hand things off and make people responsible, they grow into the responsibility. People are made to take responsibilities, but they can\u2019t do it unless you give it to them. It\u2019s a constant battle for me and for a lot of leaders. How do you let go? How do you let people fail? You know that\u2019s what\u2019s going to happen, but in the end you\u2019ll have a stronger and better organization. A lot of leadership is pointing directions but not telling them how to get there.\nGary Harpst's Story\nIt was late in the life of Solomon Software when we had concluded that the industry was consolidating, and we needed to either take it public or combine with another public company. We concluded that combining with another public company was the right thing to do, and we put together a transaction with Great Plains (who was our largest competitor in the U.S.). Great Plains was probably number one in market share and we were third or fourth. When we agreed to all the terms of the deal, it was a stock-based offering, based on their stock price.\nWe had really thought through who we were partnering with and why. We were confident that we were making the right decision and trusted the people who we were working with. Then, the day before the transaction was to be consummated, Great Plains missed their earnings for the first time in the history of the company, and their stock price dropped in half.\nThe CEO of Great Plains called and wondered whether we were going to go forward with the transaction. We had some advice from experts that said not to go forward. [Some suggested that we should] renegotiate. My partners and I just sat down and said, \"How did we get to this decision [to sell the company]? Are these the right partners? If the value of the company and the relationship is there, then does an overnight change in stock price really change the facts?\" We decided to go ahead, and we didn\u2019t negotiate or do anything differently. Lo and behold, 90 days later Microsoft had approached the combined entity. By the time our six months was over and the lock up was over, the price of stock was higher than when we started. Many, many good things happened. Our team members got stock options loaded with a really low price because of the downturn in prices, and it ended up being one of the best things that could happen to our team members and our investors. In that story are the points I\u2019ve been making all along: Think through your decisions, work with people you trust, and don\u2019t be afraid to move forward.\nFor More About Gary Harpst\nno rx rimonabant\ndiscount prices on pioglitazone\nglucophage sr 30mg tablet\ngeneric for doxycycline pills\nperiostat buy discount\npurchase vospire cr cr overnight delivery\nlow cost albuterol sulfate cr now\nvolmax cr cr usa and canada\nmedication buy alesse\ncoleman allegra-d\nnesbit fexofenadine-pseudophedrine\nmuscle altace pain\n10mg zolpidem\nVisit the website for Six Disciplines by clicking here.\nRead Gary Harpst's new book, Execution Revolution: Solving The One Problem That Makes Solving All Other Problems Easier.\nRead Gary Harpst's earlier offering, Six Disciplines for Excellence: Building Small Businesses That Learn, Lead and Last.",

        "title": "Mahahual, Quintana Roo, Mexico - Life Awesome Blog",
        "raw_content": "One of my most favourite places that I have been to in Mexico is Mahahual. It is located on the Caribbean Sea and is about a two hour drive North then East of Chetumal. While Cruise ships do dock there, there are not a lot of tourists that visit Mahahual since it is fairly secluded. This is probably one of the reasons that I like it there so much. When you go, plan to spend the day to soak it all in.\nFirst stop when driving to Mahahual from Chetumal is to stop at the El Pan de Santos. It is a bakery run by Mennonites and they bake the most delicious treats. They also have coffee and bathrooms (hello!). El Pan is about forty-five minutes into the drive from Chetumal to Mahahual. Once you see the ladies selling the pineapples at the topes, you will see it on the right. Remember: look for the pineapples. \ud83d\ude42\nWhen you drive into Mahahual you will see a lighthouse, hang right and you will enter the more beach area of the town. You can find parking on any of the streets on the left. Then: hit the beach. Mahahual is basically one strip of beach and restaurants. All of the restaurants have their own lounges and tables with umbrellas directly on the beach. Choose the restaurant that you would like to (eventually) eat at and lounge there for the entire day. The use of the chairs should not cost money as long as you buy food and drinks from the restaurant.\nThe water is crystal clear in Mahahual. It.is.heaven. Some of my favourite days have been lounging here, staring at the Caribbean and watching the Kite birds soar. They also have the most delicious fish here (I even convinced a normal non-fish eater of this). If you have a few people, you can get a fish made to that number of people. They will bring it out to show you it before grilling it up. There are also a number of great bars and shops along the strip so make sure you do some shopping. One of my favourite rings with Australian opal was bought here. The prices for jewelery are great (hello Mexican silver!).\nA few years ago there was a hurricane that did a lot of damage in Mahahaul. When you drive into the town you will see the evidence still of the storm.\nIf you do not have a car to get to Mahahual, do not fret \u2013 coach buses do travel here from Chetumal daily. They normally leave quite early in the morning (hello 7am-ish!) and leave in the early evening but it is totally worth the long day.\nP.S.

        "raw_content": "We would like to thank you for visiting our website in looking for \u201cThe Affluence Network International Independent distributor\u201d online. This mining action validates and records the trades across the whole network. So if you are attempting to do something prohibited, it\u2019s not wise because everything is recorded in the public register for the remainder of the world to see eternally.\nOnly a fraction of bitcoins issued so far can be found on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, which means the cost a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. Lots of people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This limits the quantity of bitcoins that are truly circulating in the exchanges. Moreover, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Thus, even the most diligent buyer could not purchase all existing bitcoins. This scenario is just not to suggest that markets are not exposed to price exploitation, yet there exists no need for substantial amounts of cash to move market prices up or down. The smallest occasions in the world economy can affect the cost of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency explosive.\nCryptocurrency is freeing individuals to transact cash and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in the same way, but in addition they participate in more complex smart contracts. Multiple signatures enable a trade to be supported by the network, but where a certain number of a defined group of folks consent to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This allows progressive dispute arbitration services to be developed in the future. These services could enable a third party to approve or reject a trade in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their cash. Unlike cash and other payment procedures, the blockchain always leaves public evidence that the transaction happened. This can be possibly used in an appeal against businesses with deceptive practices.\nSince among the earliest forms of earning money is in money lending, it is a fact which you can do that with cryptocurrency. Most of the lending websites now focus on Bitcoin, Some of these websites you\u2019re required fill in a captcha after a specific period of time and are rewarded with a small quantity of coins for seeing them. It is possible to visit the www.cryptofunds.co web site to locate some lists of of these websites to tap into the currency of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin markets have very different dynamics. New ones are always popping up which means they don\u2019t have lots of market data and historical outlook for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have fairly inferior liquidity as well and it is hard to come up with an acceptable investment strategy.\nBitcoin is the main cryptocurrency of the internet: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, worldwide, and decentralized. Unlike traditional fiat currencies, there is no governments, banks, or any regulatory agencies. As such, it truly is more resistant to outrageous inflation and corrupt banks. The benefits of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting cash online outweigh the security and privacy threats. Security and privacy can easily be attained by just being clever, and following some basic guidelines. You\u2019dn\u2019t put your whole bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be secured by removing any identity of ownership from your wallets and thus keeping you anonymous.\nHere is the coolest thing about cryptocurrencies; they don\u2019t physically exist anywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you look at a special address for a wallet featuring a cryptocurrency, there is absolutely no digital information held in it, like in the exact same manner that the bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It really is nothing more than a representation of worth, but there is no actual palpable type of that worth. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be confiscated or frozen or audited by the banks and the law. They don\u2019t have spending limits and withdrawal restrictions imposed on them. No one but the owner of the crypto wallet can decide how their riches will be managed.\nCryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, YOCoin, and many others have already been designed as a non-fiat currency. In other words, its backers claim that there\u2019s \u201creal\u201d worth, even through there is absolutely no physical representation of that worth. The worth rises due to computing power, that is, is the lone way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU electricity via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a period of time which is worth an ever declining amount of money or some kind of benefit to be able to ensure the deficit. Each coin includes many smaller units. For Bitcoin, each unit is called a satoshi. The blockchain is where the public record of transactions lives.\nThe fact that there\u2019s little evidence of any growth in the use of virtual money as a currency may be the reason why there are minimal efforts to control it. The reason for this could be just that the market is too small for cryptocurrencies to justify any regulatory attempt. It\u2019s also possible the regulators just do not understand the technology and its implications, anticipating any developments to act.\nIn the case of the fully functioning cryptocurrency, it might actually be exchanged as a thing. Promoters of cryptocurrencies say that type of personal cash isn\u2019t governed by way of a key bank system and it is not thus susceptible to the whims of its inflation. Because there are a minimal variety of goods, this cashis value is dependant on market forces, letting owners to deal over cryptocurrency deals.\nWhen searching on the internet for The Affluence Network international independent distributor, there are many things to ponder.\nClick here to visit our home page and learn more about The Affluence Network international independent distributor.\nIt\u2019s certainly possible, but it must be able to comprehend opportunities irrespective of market conduct. The market moves in relation to cost BTC \u2026 So even supposing it\u2019s in a BTC tendency down can make money by buying the altcoins which are altcoin oversold trading ratios-BTC. Sure, your purchasing power in DOLLARS may be lower, but as long as your purchasing power in BTC is still growing you will be fine.\nYou may run a search on the web. First learn, then models, indicators and most importantly practice looking at old charts and pick out trends. When you commence to keep a trading diary screenshots and your comment/forecast. Precisely what is the best way to get confident with charts IMHO. Oh certainly, and don\u2019t fool yourself into thinking that you get the uptrend will never decrease! Always will go down! Viewers incremental profits are more reliable and profitable (most times)\nEntrepreneurs in the cryptocurrency movement may be wise to research possibilities for making massive ammonts of cash with various types of online marketing.There could be a rich reward for anyone daring enough to endure the cryptocurrency marketplaces.Bitcoin design provides an instructive example of how one might make lots of money in the cryptocurrency marketplaces. Bitcoin is an incredible intellectual and technical achievement, and it has generated an avalanche of editorial coverage and venture capital investment opportunities. But very few people understand that and pass up on very successful business models made accessible because of the growing use of blockchain technology.\nIf you are in search of The Affluence Network international independent distributor, look no further than TAN.\nYou\u2019ve probably noticed this often times where you frequently distribute the good word about crypto. \u201cIt\u2019s not erratic? What goes on when the value accidents? \u201d sofar, many POS systems delivers free conversion of fiat, alleviating some issue, but before the volatility cryptocurrencies is addressed, most of the people is going to be resistant to put up any. We must find a way to fight the volatility that is inherent in cryptocurrencies.\nA lot of people would rather use a money deflation, particularly people who want to save. Despite the criticism and skepticism, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some uses than others. Financial solitude, for instance, is great for political activists, but more debatable when it comes to political campaign financing. We need a steady cryptocurrency for use in commerce; should you be living pay check to pay check, it\u2019d happen included in your wealth, with the remainder earmarked for other currencies.\nEthereum is an unbelievable cryptocurrency platform, however, if growth is too fast, there may be some difficulties. If the platform is adopted immediately, Ethereum requests could improve dramatically, and at a rate that exceeds the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under such a scenario, the entire platform of Ethereum could become destabilized due to the raising costs of running distributed applications. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum platform and ether. Uncertainty of demand for ether can result in a negative change in the economical parameters of an Ethereum based business that may lead to business being unable to continue to manage or to stop operation.\nThe physical Internet backbone that carries data between different nodes of the network has become the work of a number of firms called Internet service providers (ISPs), including firms that provide long distance pipelines, occasionally at the international level, regional local conduit, which ultimately connects in families and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only occur through any of these ISPs, players like level 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP runs its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private firms, and occasionally by Governments, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to transfer messages across the network. Many ISPs have agreements with suppliers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for \u201clast mile\u201d-consumers and businesses who desire to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network causes it to be possible for the info to flow without interruption, in the correct area at the perfect time.\nWhile none of these organizations \u201cpossesses\u201d the Internet collectively these firms determine how it operates, and established rules and standards that everyone stays. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that is happening to determine how things work and what happens if something bad happens. To get a domain name, for example, one needs permission from a Registrar, which includes a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone to attach to and with her. Concern over security dilemmas? A working group is formed to work on the problem and the solution developed and deployed is in the interest of most parties. If the Internet is down, you have someone to call to get it fixed. If the issue is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts in position and service level agreements, which regulate the manner in which these problems are resolved.\nThe benefit of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain is not regulated by any focused company. No one can tell the miners to update, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that is something that as a committed promoter badge of honor, and is identical to the way the Internet functions. But as you comprehend now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that regulate how it works current inherent difficulties to the user. Blockchain technology has none of that.\nFor most users of cryptocurrencies it isn\u2019t essential to understand how the procedure functions in and of itself, but it\u2019s basically crucial that you understand that there is a process of mining to create virtual money. Unlike monies as we understand them today where Authorities and banks can simply select to print unlimited numbers (I \u2018m not saying they\u2019re doing so, only one point), cryptocurrencies to be operated by users using a mining program, which solves the sophisticated algorithms to release blocks of monies that can enter into circulation.",

Alleges (3)\nElon Musk's Big Idea: The Hyperloop, an 800mph Pneumatic Tube (7)\nRussian Opposition Leader, Alexei Navalny, is Now Being Accused of Illegal Campaign Fundraising\nRussian prosecutors accused opposition leader Alexei Navalny on Monday of illegally receiving foreign funding for his campaign to oust an ally of President Vladimir Putin as Moscow mayor in an election next month.\nNavalny, 37, said the allegations were an attempt to discredit him, and showed the Kremlin was worried that his door-to-door campaigning style was reducing acting Moscow mayor Sergei Sobyanin\u2019s big lead in opinion polls.\n\u201cOur campaign is the most transparent in terms of financing,\u201d Navalny, who could face criminal charges if the allegations were confirmed, said on his website, dismissing the state prosecutors as \u201cdullards\u201d.\nThe election pits the man who emerged as the opposition\u2019s informal leader in protests last year against an experienced politician who was appointed by the Kremlin as Moscow mayor in October 2010 and has been touted as a potential prime minister.\nNavalny, who has a five-year jail sentence hanging over him after being found guilty of what he said were trumped-up theft charges, has often been accused by Kremlin allies of being a Western stooge - a charge he denies.\nHe has been able to run for mayor on September 8 only because he was unexpectedly freed on bail the day after his sentencing last month on charges of stealing from a state timber firm while he was advising in the remote city of Kirov in 2009.\nThe funding allegations were made by the nationalist Vladimir Zhirinovsky, leader of the Liberal Democratic party, which often backs Putin\u2019s policies.\n\u201cChecks have confirmed information about foreign funding of A.

The EPA was blistered for endorsing a report by the Simplot company which wants to increase selenium limits in creeks and streams that receive mining wastes, even though it's already causing two-headed trout and other fish deformities. Unmentioned in the Daily Show segment was the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which released a scathing review of the flawed Simplot report, mentioned favorably in a New York Times story, but refused to let its top selenium scientist speak to the Daily Show.

It's not just that Westlands, a public agency, owns a $31 million world class trout fishing resort, which it makes available to its growers at $4,200 to $7,000 a week. It's more the fact that Westlands, the largest (in acres not farmers) and most politically connected federal irrigation district in America, and Brownstein, one of the largest and most politically connected water law/lobbying firms in the nation, are partnering in Westlands' billion dollar lawsuit against the government\nAnd that bodes ill for the American taxpayers and the environment.\nCowardice at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service\nIn my nearly 30 years covering pollution issues at National Wildlife Refuges, I have come across several courageous field level employees of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and a few cowards in management positions, managers who are afraid of politicians, polluters, and their own shadows. A good example is the debacle at the Kesterson National Wildlife Refuge in the early 1980s, where toxic selenium-tainted agricultural waste water from the Westlands Water District polluted the food chain in evaporation ponds at the Merced County \"refuge,\" a supposed haven for migratory ducks and birds, triggering deformities and reproductive failure. There were heroes like biologist Felix Smith - who leaked the Kesterson findings to Fresno Bee reporter Deborah Blum, and there were cowards in the Portland regional office who participated in a cover-up to delay release of the Kesterson findings. READ MORE \u00bb\nSelenium contributing to honeybee die-off?\nRemember how selenium ravaged the Kesterson National Wildlife Refuge in Central California nearly 30 years ago? Selenium is a trace element that is a micronutrient but can also be lethal at slightly higher doses than needed for nutritional necessity. It is widespread in the soils of the western San Joaquin Valley but is liberated from the soil by irrigation, which acts as a solvent. Farm drainage water containing poisonous levels of selenium was funnelled to evaporation ponds at Kesterson three decades ago and quickly bio-concentrated as it moved up the food chain, nearly wiping out the Refuge's bird population and triggering grotesque deformities in bird embryos. Now UC Davis researchers think they found a link between declines in bee populations and selenium.

Part Two addresses the Denver law firm hired to represent Westlands and its far flung political connections.\nIn the wake of the public relations debacle over the brief hiring of former federal judge Oliver Wanger, the Westlands Water District has now hired a high-powered Denver, Colorado law firm with close ties to Interior Secretary Kenneth Salazar and political tentacles reaching to the highest levels of both the Democratic and Republican parties.\nWestlands, on January 6, 2012, quietly filed a complaint in the U.S. Court of Claims in Washington, D.C. claiming the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation breached its 1963 contract with Westlands by failing for decades to build a drainage system to carry away Westlands\u2019 toxic waste waters to the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. There was no Westlands press release on the Court of Claims suit and no mainstream media picked up the story for almost a month.

        "raw_content": "You are here: Home / Blog / News / London Mozart Players: the ultimate comeback kids. Telegraph\nWednesday, 28 May, 2014 /in News /by LMP\nAgainst all odds the London Mozart Players are still fighting fit, says Ivan Hewett. May 28th 2014\nThis week the London Mozart Players will prove that they really are the comeback kids of the orchestral world. Twice in recent years this fine chamber orchestra has threatened to disappear. The first time was in 2011, when it lost its Arts Council grant. The second was earlier this year, when Croydon Council pulled the plug on its very generous annual grant, after 24 years of support.\nBut it\u2019s still with us, and on May 28 the LMP will be giving a concert with star guest soloist Angela Hewitt in St John\u2019s Smith Square, repeated the following day at Fairfield Halls in Croydon.\nThe LMP has managed to pull back from the brink by practising what in America comes as second nature: self-help, and calling on a little help from friends. The orchestra has become a self-governing entity, with the players themselves acting as the orchestra\u2019s agent, manager and PR. A few months back Vernon Ellis, chairman of the British Council and patron of English National Opera, hosted a fund-raising concert for the orchestra at his house. That and some energetic proselytising by the players has raised just under \u00a3100,000. A number of eminent musicians associated with the orchestra have given their services for free, including pianist Howard Shelley, conductor Hilary Davan Wetton, violinist Tasmin Little, and the winner of the BBC Young Musician of the Year in 2012, cellist Laura van der Heijden. These two concerts this week are a way of saying we\u2019re still here and we mean business.\nI\u2019m glad they\u2019re still here, because for me and many other classical music lovers the LMP is part of this country\u2019s musical furniture. The orchestra was founded in 1949, which makes it the oldest chamber orchestra in Britain, and was led right up to the early 1980s by its founder Harry Blech. I saw him as a student in the latter part of his reign, and remember thinking he seemed as old as the hills. He strode stiffly up to the podium and conducted with a no-nonsense sturdy technique, as if he was kneading dough.\nSince then Jane Glover, Matthias Bamert and Andrew Parrott have all taken on the role of MD. I remember the Bamert years especially well, as the orchestra\u2019s programming was particularly lively, with a steady flow of commissioned works. Since 2010 the gifted South African-born conductor Gerard Korsten, whom the players clearly warm to, has taken the lead.\nSo what next? There are several steps the Players are taking to survive in the medium term, such as reviving their connection with Croydon\u2019s Fairfield Halls. This has the best acoustics in Greater London, and the orchestra has a history of residency there stretching back 24 years. The orchestra also has a long-standing relationship with Portsmouth Grammar School, which has involved commissiong a string of new works, and also burgeoned outwards into the local community. There are plans to transplant the fruits of this back into the orchestra\u2019s original Croydon base.\nThis combination of artistic enterprise with grass-roots involvement gives a model of how the orchestra might prosper in the long term. Bringing this off won\u2019t be easy. Like the Academy of St Martin-in-the-Fields, the LMP has had some of its shine taken off by the rise of \u201cperiod\u201d bands such as the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment. At the other end of the historical spectrum are those groups which have pulled the chamber orchestra into the modern era, such as the Britten Sinfonia and the Scottish Ensemble.\nThe signs are that the LMP is learning a few tricks from these upstarts. There are plans to build relationships with starry musicians to act as soloists and directors for particular projects, as the Britten Sinfonia does so cleverly. There\u2019s also a sense among these younger orchestras that rooting what they do in a particular place and time is the key to success, as much as artistic quality. For example, rather than just commissioning a composer to write a piece, you link it to something specific about the moment. The LMP has tried this already with its Portsmouth commissions, where each year the new piece has been linked to the theme of Remembrance Day (a particularly emotive topic in a naval city).\nThis shows the LMP is serious about reinventing itself. On the other hand, there is the accumulated loyalty and affection, among both audiences and musicians, for what the LMP has always been. And of course there\u2019s the inherited treasure of the orchestra\u2019s core repertoire. Mozart and Haydn\u2019s symphonies and concertos will always be great music, and there will always be an appetite for them.\nThe difficulty is that these different aspects of the orchestra\u2019s identity pull in different directions. The trick over the coming months and years will be to manage that tension, so that past and present knit together in a way that makes sense. It\u2019s a more than worthy enterprise, and we should wish them well with it.\nhttp://londonmozartplayers.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/DSCN1445.jpg 3000 4000 LMP http://londonmozartplayers.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/LMP-70-logo-header-127.png LMP2014-05-28 09:32:212014-05-28 09:32:38London Mozart Players: the ultimate comeback kids.

Services will be provided in suite 121, around the corner from Ms. Vann\u2019s office. Interns receive weekly individual supervision, monthly group supervision, & case note audits to verify that clients are receiving the best ethical care possible. If a client ever has a concern about their treatment, he/she can directly contact Ms. Vann about the situation.\nReasons why you should use an LPC Intern for Counseling:\nReal Affordable Mental Healthcare: No intern session is over $60 a visit. It would be quite difficult to find a fully licensed counselor who charges less than $75 a session, for that matter, many interns at other counseling centers in Dallas and Tarrant Cty. are charging over $85+ a visit. Insurance companies have notified their members that with the \u201cAffordable\u201d Healthcare Act that many members\u2019 premiums (and possibly deductibles & co-pays) may increase. The Interns\u2019 prices are often times equal to or even less than what your co-pay would be to see a specialist on your insurance plan. Plus, your insurance will not know why you decided to come to counseling nor will you get an unpleasant surprise when they deny your visit because they do not cover certain therapies or diagnoses. By seeing an intern, insurance does not have access to your mental health records unless you authorize it.\nBe aware of what your insurance policy covers and does not cover. Some insurance plans do not cover marital or family therapy nor do they cover Mood Disorders, Impulse Control Disorders, Personality Disorders, and some Learning Disability Disorders. In these cases, seeing an intern is a great option.\nSchedule flexibility: Some interns will work on weekends and many will work evenings; they set their own appointments.\nEach case is supervised by a counselor with over 15 years of experience and has a reputation in the community as providing excellent client care, so it is like you are getting 2 counselors for the price of one!\nVann Counseling & Associates Staff\nWELCOME Stephen Simoson, M.A., LPC\u2014BRAND NEW ASSOCIATE NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS\nB.A. in Psychology from Texas Women\u2019s University TX and an M.A. in Professional Counseling from Amberton University in Garland, TX.\nAreas that Stephen likes to work with: depression, anxiety/stress, abuse history, survivors of domestic violence, anger management, coping skills, emotional disturbance, family conflict, self-esteem, suicidal ideation, trauma/PTSD, domestic violence/BWS.

        "title": "Navigating Relationships In Recovery - Malibu Beach Rehab",
        "raw_content": "Addicts look outside of themselves to soothe themselves internally. When the substances are removed, the recovering person may look to other things outside of themselves to regulate their feelings and increase self-esteem. Relationships can be used in this way in early recovery. For this reason, relationships in early recovery can become consuming, can pose as a distraction to working one\u2019s program thoroughly, and therefore can result in relapse.\nOne\u2019s choice in partners is often a reflection of one\u2019s self-esteem and in early recovery, it\u2019s often deficient. The recovering individual will often choose an unhealthy partner that they may not have chosen at a later stage in their recovery. In addiction, because relationships can be utilized to mask issues of low self-esteem, the recovering person may become unaware of their feelings of inadequacy until a problem occurs in the relationship. When that happens, not only do they lack the skills necessary for coping with feelings of inadequacy, but they must also manage the pain associated with the relationship issues. With limited coping strategies, the combination may be enough to result in a relapse. Unless a recovering individual has insight into their low self-esteem and negative core beliefs, they can\u2019t be addressed therapeutically.\nUntil which point a recovering person has therapeutically addressed and resolved their history of trauma, they are at risk for reenacting their history of trauma by choosing an unhealthy partner. When one\u2019s trauma is reenacted, it reinforces one\u2019s negative core beliefs, which can result in a relapse. Many recovering people struggle with their identity in early recovery. If one is unsure as to who they are, what they want in life, and what their preferences are, how can a person make a wise decision regarding a romantic partner?\nIf your partner is also in early recovery, it is possible that you and your partner will be growing in different ways during your recovery journey. Even if you and your partner are working strong, parallel programs, each partner may progress at a different pace and each may grow in different ways. Many people in early recovery have abandonment issues. Relationship issues, particularly a break-up can trigger issues of abandonment and can result in a relapse.\nThe boundaries of the recovering person are often poor in early recovery, which may make a person prone to being taken advantage of or being mistreated by their significant other. If this happens, one\u2019s self-esteem may worsen further predisposing a person to a relapse. Other individuals may present as controlling and intrusive of others\u2019 boundaries, which may harm their partner and therefore, their relationship. Your significant other may be invested in keeping you sick if you\u2019re getting healthy threatens them. They may actively attempt to sabotage your recovery and keep you sick.\nFor the most part, people in early recovery have not yet resolved their own issues of low self-esteem, trauma, and/or abandonment, they are likely to choose unhealthy partners that are co-dependent and enabling. People in early recovery are often uncomfortable being vulnerable and often avoid intimacy, which is necessary for a relationship to be healthy and to flourish. For each recovering individual, the goals and time frame associated with this will vary and should be developed collaboratively with their therapist.\nIf you are adamant that they want to pursue a relationship despite being recommended otherwise, it may be suggested that you disclose this honestly to your therapist and sponsor. You might not like the initial reaction, but if you refrain from disclosing this information, your support system in navigating the relationship may be limited and inadequate. Of course, your friends may be able to offer some support and advice when things get rough, but your therapist and sponsor are important members of your treatment team and are the best equipped to help guide you.\nIn the early portion of the relationship, you may feel that things are unfolding perfectly and you may not be able to imagine that the two of you could possibly encounter any difficulties. This would be great if it persisted indefinitely but it is not realistic. Eventually, there will be a conflict, differences in communication, and even a potential break-up.\nIf your therapist and sponsor are already aware of the relationship, you will most likely be apt to contact them for support. However, if they don\u2019t know about the relationship, it\u2019s more likely that you will not go to them for support and will be left without necessary help. Hopefully this information sheds some light on relationships in early recovery and serves to caution people to at least share the status of their relationships with their therapist and sponsor.",

For instance, I am thinking of the use of big data and data fusion to analyze information. Is it possible to look at a body of data in a way that is technically \"true\" - meaning the data is not overtly falsified, but actually \"false,\" meaning the processing of data, because beyond the capabilities of human perception, can appear to be without social, political and economic motivation?\nLev Manovich: Software does \"hide\" in a most direct way. The algorithms which control which updates from your friends you will see on Facebook, the algorithms behind Google Search, or the algorithm controlling your car GPS - none of them are accessible. In the recent couple of years, media and academics started to discuss the politics of the few selected algorithms (such as Google search) - but there are millions of other places where algorithms control things and we just take it for granted, because \"things work.\"\nSoftware also \"hides\" in a more indirect way. Even when the code is available, it can be too big to analyze it and discuss its \"politics\" in any meaningful way.\nLast but not least - as you said, software also \"hides\" because certain \"species\" (certain interface techniques and conventions) are completely taken for granted. They become naturalized, and then they become invisible to most people. So the goal of my new book is to expose these conventions (in relation to media authoring and access software such as Photoshop, After Effects or Google Earth), discuss their historical origins (the ideas which led to them) and scrutinize the details of their operations.",

These robust, volcanic, Spanish islands have proved to be the most popular holiday destination for north Europeans and if you are a tourist with just a little bit of initiative, you will find here an endless oasis of amazing beauty and an ideal territory for hiking. Gran Canaria is the most populated island, due to the 50 kilometres of beaches and the incredibly varied landscapes. It is in Gran Canaria where you will find Agaete.\nAgaete and Its Surprises\nAgaete is a very tranquil town located on a very steep rock on the coastline of Gran Canaria and to be more exact, on its north-western coastline. There is a special flavour when it comes to Agaete: people come here attracted by the beauty of the landscape, as Agaete is surrounded by terraces cultivated with banana, papayas, oranges, which grow well in the tropical climate. Tourists also go to Agaete because it offers the possibility of enjoying the sun and the wonderful beaches in a place which is not crowded at all. Most of the tourists prefer choosing the more famous resorts in Gran Canaria. The town has a few attractions which give it the typical Spanish look: the Nuestra Senora de la Conception, dating back to the 19th century is situated in the centre of the historical quarter; the church attracts the eyes with its red dome. The botanical gardens where it is thought that the great poet Tomas Morales wrote some of his works are also an important attraction of the city; hosting the great majority of the c\nultural events in town, the gardens represent a central point of the town\u2019s life.\nIf you are bored with visiting the townhouses and the narrow, winding streets, you can go to Reptilandia Park, which is just a few kilometres away from Agaete; you\u2019ll find here some of the most exotic and unusual reptile species. A short trip to Puerto de la Nieves is also a very relaxing activity; a ferry will take you there in about 60 minutes, so you can relax and enjoy the view. Last but not least, participate in one of the fiestas or in one of the carnivals that take part in Agaete; the town is very renowned for having its own tradition in organizing this kind of events aimed to entertain. You will find more about the culture and the traditions of the Spaniards if you attend such an event.

Photo credit: Jayde Vogeler\nWEST DES MOINES, Iowa \u2013 Friday, Nov. 2, 2018 \u2013 The search has begun for the Des Moines Menace\u2019s next head coach.\nAfter a successful year in this role, Alen Marcina is stepping back into professional soccer. On Wednesday, San Antonio FC announced that he has accepted a positon as an assistant coach with the United Soccer League Championship team.\nMarcina guided the Menace to the Premier Development League\u2019s 2018 regular-season title. The team carried an undefeated, 13-0-1 mark into the postseason and advanced to the second round of the playoffs.\n\u201cWe\u2019ve loved working with Alen. He\u2019s a great friend and a great coach, and we\u2019re happy for him to join a quality club like SAFC,\u201d Menace general manager Tiley Nunnink said. \u201cJust like we want to help our players reach the pros, this is the name of the game for our coaches, as well. I look forward to continuing the relationship with Alen and wish him my best.\u201d\nThis opportunity keeps Marcina in the city his family calls home. Marcina guided the San Antonio Scorpions from 2012 to 2015, including two seasons as an assistant in the franchise\u2019s final two years (highlighted by the 2014 North American Soccer League championship) as the head coach.\nHe\u2019ll assist Darren Powell as San Antonio FC looks to build upon a 14-12-8 finish this past season.\nMaybe, down the road, SAFC and the Menace will reunite in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. In 2016, Des Moines lost a third-round Cup match to visiting San Antonio, 2-1. The Menace has qualified for next year\u2019s Open Cup, marking the franchise\u2019s 13th berth in the national tournament.\nABOUT THE MENACE: The Des Moines Menace provides the highest level of soccer in Iowa. Preparing for its 26th season, the Menace men\u2019s team competes in the newly rebranded USL League Two (formerly the Premier Development League). Entering its eighth season, the Menace women\u2019s team is part of the Women\u2019s Premier Soccer League (WPSL).

        "title": "The International Opportunity in Network Marketing",
        "raw_content": "The International Opportunity in Network Marketing\nOne of the keys to amassing great personal wealth is to get in on the ground-floor and buy stock in a startup company. For example, had you bought stock in Microsoft back when it was a startup, you would be incredibly wealthy now. The difficulty, however, lies in knowing in advance which companies will be successful and which ones will not, because very few companies will be as successful as Microsoft. By the time you know which ones are going to be successful, the price of their stock is too expensive and the ground-floor opportunity to make a spectacular profit is over.\nAnother way to become wealthy is to start your own business. Indeed, as Robert Kiyosaki, the famous author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad, has written, the secret of financial independence is to own your own business. Although starting a business normally requires investing a large amount of money, there is an alternative. This alternative, as Kiyosaki explains in his new book, The Business School for People Who Like Helping People, is to join a network marketing company.\nUnfortunately, you face the same problem in joining a network marketing company as you do in buying stock. You have no way of knowing if a startup network marketing company will survive and prosper, or if it will fail and go bankrupt. If you wait until it has become a successful giant, then it will be much harder to build a huge downline because the people most interested in joining the company will have already signed up under someone else.\nHowever, in network marketing there is a little-known way of getting around this problem. Some network marketing companies operate internationally. When one of these companies first enters a new international market, it enters as a startup in that market, and there is great excitement and enthusiasm and new distributors are eager to sign up.\nTherefore, if you choose a large company that is already successful, there is little risk that it will fail and go bankrupt. Then, by concentrating on those countries that will be new markets for this expanding company, you can safely enjoy the exciting leverage of joining a startup company and getting in on the ground-floor.\nThe results can be quite dramatic. For example, in 1992 the vice-president of a major Japanese bank learned that a leading network marketing company was preparing to enter the Japanese market. He resigned his position as bank vice-president and spent the next year organizing a distribution network in Japan. When the company began operations in Japan in 1993, the experts estimated that it would do about $20 to $35 million of business in the first year because all the great multinationals\u2014Coca-Cola, IBM, Xerox, McDonald\u2019s, etc.\u2014had done well under $100 million. However, this company broke the record for first-year sales by any foreign company in Japan\u2014it did $135 million that first year\u2014and the former bank executive cornered half the market for his distribution network.\nIn 1997 the company earned $599 million in Japan, and he still had half the market. Since this company pays back half of its income to its distributors, this means that in 1997 the distributors in the former bank executive's network earned more than $100 million, and he himself was earnng about a million dollars a month. Obviously this is a highly unusual example, and few people will ever approach that level of success, but this example does illustrate how getting in on the ground-floor can be as valuable in network marketing as it is in the stock market.\nNu Skin Enterprises (NSE) was the company in the above example. The exciting news today is that NSE is continuing to expand into new international markets and the opportunity is still there to get in on the ground-floor. Right now NSE is doing business in over 30 countries around the world and they plan on being in 50 countries by the year 2010. Some of the new markets they are expected to enter before 2010 include China, India, Indonesia, Burma, Vietnam, and Argentina, among others.\nNSE is a billion-dollar company that was founded in 1984 and has a 5A-1 Dun & Bradstreet rating. It is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (symbol: NUS) and sells a premier line of personal care products and nutritional supplements. Their personal care products and color cosmetics are sold under the Scion, Nu Skin, Epoch and Nu Coleur labels. Their nutritional supplements are sold under the Pharmanex label.\nSome of NSE\u2019s most popular personal care products include FaceLift, Body Bar, Liquid Body Lufra, Nu Skin 180 Anti-Aging Skin Therapy, Nu Skin Galvanic Spa System, IdealEyes, Nu Skin White Cream, Epoch Ava Puhi Moni Shampoo, Nu Colour cosmetics, AP-24 toothpaste, etc. Pharmanex nutritional and herbal products include the LifePak multivitamin/multi-mineral formulation, Cholestin (policosanol), CordyMax (cordyceps sinensis), TeGreen (green tea extract), ReishMax (reishi), BioGinkgo (ginkgo biloba), FlexCreme, and Cortitrol. In addition, through their Big Planet technology division, NSE also offers internet access, advanced website hosting, long-distance services, unified communications, and an internet mall.\nIn summary, if you live in one of those potential new markets listed above or have family or friends living in one of them, then you now have a unique opportunity to develop a successful business. If you wish to take advantage of this opportunity and you live in one of the countries in which we are already doing business, now is the time to start your business. If, on the other hand, we are not yet doing business in your country, but your country is on the list of countries in which we will soon be doing business, you should start to prepare for the grand opening by learning about our business and our products.

        "raw_content": "You are here: Home News Latest America Supports You: Group Donates Home to Wounded Soldier\nAmerica Supports You: Group Donates Home to Wounded Soldier\nWASHINGTON, April 18, 2006 - Three years ago, Army Pfc. Sam Ross Jr. was disposing of munitions near Baghdad when an explosion took his eyesight, his left leg, part of his hearing and, ultimately, his military career.\nLast month, the former 82nd Airborne Division soldier moved into a custom-built log cabin specially designed and built for his needs, courtesy of \"Homes for Our Troops.\"\n\"This is my dream, and it's finally under way,\" the 22-year-old Ross said as his handicapped-accessible log home started taking shape on a hilltop in his native Dunbar, Pa.\nRoss used to play on the lot where his new home stands when he was a child. \"He wanted to get back to a place he could see in his mind,\" Kirt Rebello, director of projects and veterans affairs for Homes for Our Troops, told American Forces Press Service.\nWith corporate and private donations of money, materials and professional labor through the Homes for Our Troops program, Ross' custom home became a reality. He was so excited about it that he moved in even before the kitchen cabinets, with three-dimensional carvings of animals that he can feel, were installed, Rebello said.\n\"It's all in now. Everything's done now except the basement,\" Ross said during a telephone interview. \"It's really come along.\"\nJohn Gonsalves founded Homes for Our Troops in February 2004 to serve troops returning home from overseas deployments with severe injuries. The organization is a partner in the Defense Department's \"America Supports You\" program, which showcases America's support for the men and women of the armed forces and the myriad ways the country is expressing that support.\nSince its founding, Homes for Our Troops has been building and remodeling homes for wounded troops and winning accolades from all corners along the way. President Bush praised the program during a visit to Camp Pendleton, Calif., in December, then invited Gonsalves and other America Supports You team members to the White House in March to thank them personally for their contributions. Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld and Marine Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, have also pointed to the program as an example of the many initiatives under way to support the troops.\nPhil Mickelson, winner of golf's Masters Tournament this year and in 2004, announced for the second consecutive year that he will play this year's PGA Tour season on behalf of the program. Mickelson is donating $100 for each birdie and $500 for each eagle he makes during the tour season through his \"Birdies for the Brave\" fundraising effort.\n\"It's too soon to tell,\" how much Mickelson will raise for Homes for Our Troops this year, Gonsalves said. \"But the way he's playing, it looks like it's going to be a good year,\" he predicted. \"He's on fire.\"\nMickelson told the Homes for Our Troops organization he feels privileged to be a part of the program. \"I am honored to assist Homes for Our Troops with their efforts in meeting the housing needs of our servicemen and women who have given so much for our country,\" he said.\nBut the golf champion's contributions go beyond the dollars he raises for the organization. \"It's hard to calculate the value of the awareness he is generating,\" Gonsalves said. \"With Phil leading the way, we know awareness of the cause will be raised and a great number of American heroes will be able to get the help they need and deserve.\"\nGonsalves called the program an important way to acknowledge servicemembers' service and sacrifice. \"The men and women of our military make great sacrifices to keep America safe, and one of our goals is to make sure they are not forgotten,\" he said.\nHomes for Our Troops has completed six houses for wounded troops and has 11 more projects under construction or in the planning stages, Rebello said.\nThis effort got some boosted momentum earlier this month after an anonymous donor presented the organization with a check for $500,000, in addition to $75,000 in donations during the past year. Dozens of other wounded troops have expressed interest in receiving assistance, Rebello said.\nAfter 12 years in the Marine Corps, Rebello said, there's \"nothing else I'd rather be doing\" than helping wounded troops move forward with their lives. \"Nobody deserves the dream of home ownership more than someone who has sacrificed so much for it,\" he said.\nHomes for Our Troops [http://www.homesforourtroops.org/]",

        "raw_content": "Video Diagnostic Endoscopy with our Gainesville Veterinarians\nWhen veterinarians examine a sick or injured animal, they must rely on a number of techniques to help them determine the source of the problem. In some cases, visualizing the internal structures of the animal is necessary to detect the extent of damage or disease. Endoscopy uses tiny instruments that are inserted into the animal\u2019s body to \u201csee\u201d the condition of these organs. Millhopper Veterinary Medical Center in Gainesville offers video diagnostic endoscopy to help provide the highest quality of care for your pets.\nUnderstanding Video Endoscopy\nAn endoscope is an instrument used to look inside the body. The devices are used in veterinary care much the same way they are used for human medical care. The technology consists of a rigid or flexible tube that has a tiny camera at the end that transmits an image of the organ onto a video screen for detailed analysis. In this way, a veterinarian can see the internal structure of an organ, to detect cellular changes, tissue damage from an injury, foreign objects inside the body or other problems. Animals are anesthetized for this process, and their vital signs are carefully monitored to ensure their safety.\nHow Video Endoscopy Is Used\nVideo diagnostic endoscopy may be used to detect problems with the respiratory system, in the gastrointestinal system, to view internal structures of the urinary or reproductive systems and to see the condition of organs in the abdomen. The images projected onto the video screen provide a detailed view that allows veterinarians to detect abnormalities and design appropriate treatments. The video images can be recorded for consultation with other veterinary professionals and can be saved for comparison with images taken later in treatment, to measure progress. Endoscopy can be a critical tool for saving the lives of pets that are sick or injured.\nMake Millhopper Veterinary Medical Center Your Gainesville Vet\nThe veterinarians at Millhopper Veterinary Medical Center work as a team to utilize their combined knowledge and experience to provide a range of veterinary services for their animal patients in Gainesville and surrounding communities. State-of-the-art equipment and the most current techniques ensure that we can provide care for a variety of conditions. Call Millhopper Veterinary Medical Center today at 352-373-8055 for an appointment to learn more about how video diagnostic endoscopy can help to keep your pet healthy and active.",

        "title": "Calvin Harris: 18 Months | Mind Equals Blown",
        "raw_content": "Calvin Harris: 18 Months\nBy John Frazier \u00b7 On October 30, 2012\nCalvin Harris is back with a hefty dance album. Now, for those unfamiliar with this artist, if you have been to a frat party, club, sporting event, seen a Pepsi ad, watched MTV, or listened to Top 40 radio in the past year, you are in fact familiar with this artist. So don\u2019t worry about getting a new pair of dancing shoes with 18 Months, because it\u2019s a new album that\u2019s already overplayed.\nIt\u2019s a good thing this album has such a generous run time, because if you shelled out for it, you may find yourself skipping over the first few tracks. Remember \u201cBounce?\u201d It was a single almost a year and a half ago. \u201cFeel So Close\u201d comes in a close second for oldest song with a release date of August 2011. Don\u2019t forget \u201cWe Found Love,\u201d that one song featuring Rihanna that sounds like every other Rihanna song. Other singles the radio is slowly beating to death include \u201cLet\u2019s Go,\u201d \u201cWe\u2019ll Be Coming Back,\u201d and \u201cSweet Nothing.\u201d\nBefore I get into the other tracks on the album, you may be wondering why anyone would buy this album, considering that if they like these songs, they\u2019ve probably already bought them. I am too.\nThe other songs on 18 Months are remarkably similar. You do have some decent dance tracks like \u201cAwooga\u201d and \u201cIron.\u201d These are great for the avid rave-music fan, as they follow the build-up formula well and have all that synth goodness.\nThe highlight of the album is \u201cWe\u2019ll be Coming Back,\u201d which features British vocalist Example. It has a catchy enough beat, and Example\u2019s vocals, as with most electronic projects he takes part in, are perfect.\nThe main problem this album has is that it has been released much too late. The singles were such sensations that they have been played to death, particularly the ones that have been released well over a year ago. The more recent ones, people are just as likely to be sick of since they still dominate Top 40 radio.\nThe bonus tracks on the deluxe version are nothing special. Just a few generic remixes and an extended mix of \u201cWe Found Love,\u201d though why anyone would be clamouring for an extended mix of this tired track at this point is beyond me.\nIf you are a fan of the genre and are not going to buy the full album, I highly recommend \u201cAwooga,\u201d \u201cIron\u201d and \u201cWe\u2019ll Be Coming Back.\u201d There\u2019s no doubt in my mind that Harris has talent, he just should have offered fans more new material for their dollar.\nCalvin HarrisColumbia RecordsExampleRihannaSynthpop\nLiving in Hong Kong, teaching, writing, and producing various creative things.

        "title": "The Mormon Curtain - TAL BACHMAN - SECTION 5",
        "raw_content": "It's been a pretty wild couple of years for me. I went from thinking I knew everything of importance in the universe, to wondering if I knew anything of importance at all. I lost some old friends, gained a few new ones, and retained a few who realized the church was a fraud around the same time I did. I spoke at the exmo conference, was filmed for some whitewash job of a \"documentary\" on the church (that's another story), helped three dozen people close to me see the fraud for what it was, and got stabbed in the back and had my heart broken big-time by three exmos close to me (thanks, you f****** bastards). I've gained a true friend in my mother-in-law since she left the church, and now can't stop hugging her and chatting with her about all kinds of things.\nI've gotten emails from people all over the world asking me about the church, many of whom, after some conversation, have come to acknowledge the truth (although some have decided to stay in the church for social or family reasons). I've gotten emails from \"official\" and amateur Mormon apologists, who all (I found) rely on the same mindgames I used to play on myself to keep believing. Incidentally, the only one of these guys who seemed like a decent guy was John Lynch from FAIR. I know others on here have a different opinion, but that was my experience. I understand he is still doing his best to defend Joseph's untrue claims, and he may always do this; even under the most optimal circumstances, you don't just come to see that your entire life was built on a fraud in a couple of weeks, or months, or even years. Sometimes it takes a long, long time, if it happens at all. It is especially hard once you've taken a public stand; not because you consciously don't want to \"lose face\", but (I think) because largely unconscious forces, seeking to protect us from pain, loss of status, etc., make it almost impossible to see what's really there.\nIn the past couple of years, I've had my first glass of wine, my first bottle of beer, and even bought a Playboy magazine once just to see what it was like (pretty lame if you ask me, and that any of us could have thought that people left \"the one, true religion\" for airbrushed airhead boobs is a real testament to how stupid we were). I've tried to overcome my natural diffidence around strangers, and especially, around attractive females, who I always instinctively froze around since they represented a potential temptation. That is, I've tried to treat them like I treat normal humans, rather than as \"potential tools of the adversary to destroy my life\".\nMy passion for music, and performing, has been rekindled; come to think of it, all my passions have felt supercharged since I found myself outside the strange bubble I didn't even know I inhabited. Funny things are funnier, sad things are sadder, delicious food is more delicious, vistas are more inspiring, good stories are more compelling and meaningful...everything is more intense, as though my humanity as a Mormon wasn't so much \"kept in check\", as entirely diluted by some mind-dulling narcotic draught of smugness, cognitive dissonance, and unrecognized fear.\nAnother thing I've done is frequent this board. Especially early on, I poured my guts out on here. I never really felt anger in the way others did; I felt mostly shell-shocked, and really, just sad. It is a lie that people cease believing in Joseph's lies because they \"wish\" to. If anything, the opposite is true - we believe in them, because we want so badly for them to be true. There was, in fact, nothing I wanted more than for the religion I had devoted my life to, to be all it claimed. To find out it was not was a genuine horror, a nightmare become real, and one that just wouldn't end no matter how many times I shook myself. And then my wife lived that nightmare, and that prolonged my own: Where do we belong, if we don't \"belong\" to \"the church\"? (Doesn't that sound a tad chilling now?) Who are we supposed to be, if not Peter Priesthood and Molly Mormon? What are we supposed to teach our children about life, when it seems we've been wrong about most of it? Why are we married? If we weren't Mormons, would we have been attracted to each other in the first place? Now that we don't have a cult we're both devoted to...what unites us? What is our mutual passion? All these, and a million other questions, haunted us like phantoms: they were always there to torment, and impossible to bat away. What were their answers? We could no longer just open up a church reference book and read a quote from some self-styled oracle, and imagine \"the thinking had been done\". No - this was hard. It meant really....thinking, really pondering, really talking and inquiring...it was really hard. And that was another question: Why in the world did we ever think as members, that *leaving* was easier than *staying*? The easiest thing in the world to do would be to keep on playing the stupid mindgames, and just stay put. Just \"put things on the shelf\". Just keep believing we, and only we, were in the world's only true religion; we, and only we, had the true answers to life's most troubling questions; and we, and only we, were God's \"covenantpeople\". We were chosen. Who wouldn't want to continue believing that?\nIn a strange way, I had always thought that my world as a Mormon was \"the universe\", and that thought provided real comfort: I was in the know. But I came to see that that world was *not* the universe - in fact, it was just the opposite. That world turned out to be unmistakably tiny, and insular, and circular and vanity-flattering, judgmental and stupid for all its occasional prettiness and flashes of insight, anachronistic and even ludicrous for all the comfort it provided, in fact chaotic and capricious and devilishly self-interested underneath its patina of order, constancy, and rectitude, tribalistic and ignorant and superstitious for all the pretensions to cosmopolitanism and the cultivation of intellect, walled on all sides by grossly distorting panes of glass that filtered out any feature of reality which didn't accord with whatever we imagined \"the church\" still believed in. And in the moment I realized it all, it felt like there was an almighty crack of techtonic plates slamming together, like some connection was made in my brain that, before that, my brain had not been capable of making...and all those thick, warped, distorting pieces of glass that had walled my mind smashed all at once...and for the first time ever, Mormonism made sense. Yet in that same moment, I was more frightened than ever, and all I wanted to do was somehow reassemble the smashed glass and get back inside the tiny \"world\", or cage, that I had never before been outside of. And in that next moment, I realized that would never be possible. I was out of a \"something\" I'd never even realized I was in, and certainly never desired to get out of - I was only trying to study the thing so I could be a better Mormon. I would NEVER have believed, as I began preparing my first gospel doctrine lessons, that within two years I would see that Joseph could not possibly have told the truth about his experiences, and that my whole life was based on a fraud.\nAnd now here I am posting this, feeling like I am finally flushing the last vestiges of Joseph Smith's religion out of my system, beginning a long goodbye to all my friends here on the board. I think I will post over the next several weeks a few farewell essays, if I can think of anything to say I haven't already said. I hope something I write there will help someone else through the trauma of discovering we've been wrong about everything most important to us in life.\nBest to all - let me know if anyone has an idea for an essay and I'll do my best.\nThanks for all the support and friendship,\nIn Randy J.'s excellent thread, \"We Shouldn't Judge Joseph Smith by Present-Day Standards\", he notes the tendency of Joseph's defenders to claim that his modern critics are judging him unfairly by holding him to today's standards of behaviour. In fact, the opposite is true, and that any adult could make such an assertion, is only testament to how deeply our capacity for rational thought can be corrupted by emotional attachment to ideology.\nMormon defenders cannot have it both ways. Either, as say Mormon GA's, society has fallen from a far superior moral state, and we now live in an era characterized by shockingly loose morals, where chastity is denigrated and mocked, where \"traditional family units\" are under threat \"as never before\", where sexual anarchy appears to be a possibility, etc. ad nauseam - OR, our era is in no way superior in sexual restraint and order to past eras. We will call the first proposition \"F\" (for \"fallen\"), and the second, \"S\", for \"the same\".\nIf \"S\", then Mormon GA's cannot be believed when they claim \"F\". And if they cannot be believed, then they are in fact \"leading the church astray\", and if that is the case, a canonized item of official doctrine is not true (see the Manifesto page in the DandC), and if that is the case, then Joseph's church isn't the only true religion in the world.\nBut if \"F\", then illegitimacy, immodesty, sexual \"looseness\" and \"experimentation\", promiscuity, etc., were ALL far RARER in Joseph Smith's era, than now - meaning that his era was far stricter sexually, than ours is. But if that is the case, and as church defenders ask, we judge Joseph Smith according to the \"standards of his time\", then modern critics are NOT JUDGING HIM HARSHLY ENOUGH. And in fact, history suggests exactly this.\nFor, who do these genius church defenders think would best be in a position to judge Joseph according to the standards of his own time, other than THE PEOPLE WHO LIVED IN HIS OWN TIME? And how did THEY judge him?\nTHEY FINALLY ASSASSINATED HIM. They drove Joseph's treasonous band of cult fanatics OUT OF THE UNITED STATES. And before that, they chased Joseph out of area after area. And why? \"Because Joseph's church was the only true church, and Satan wanted to destroy it!\"? My member friend, just consider one other possibility.\nMaybe...just maybe...Joseph wasn't exactly precise with his storytelling....and maybe, just maybe, he didn't actually meet up with back-from-the-dead Peter, James and John, etc....Maybe, like hundreds of other religious men of the time, Joseph didn't really have the experiences he claimed to have had...and keep in mind, that antebellum America was rife with innovative religious societies, most of which were patiently tolerated by their neighbours...\nSo maybe, all that expulsion had something to do with this, which I think even Richard \"They've Broken Me and I Love It\" Bushman would admit:\nThat everywhere Joseph Smith went, in the service of his cult of self-aggrandizement, he gave the finger to American law, American tradition, American mores, American culture, everything that those \"in his own time\" regarded as sacred and necessary. And as a consequence, everywhere he went, almost EVERYONE got totally sick of him and his band of deluded, obedient followers. The illegal banking, the vigilantes, the false prophecies, the mockery of a religion most Americans thought true, the bloc voting, the occultism, the furtive sexcapades, the shameless public lying, the destruction of other's private property, the delusions of grandeur (\"God is my right hand man\", \"I have no law\", etc.), announcing other's people property belonged to \"the Saints\" by divine right, etc., etc...\nAnd let's keep in mind, since we're talking about judging according to the \"standards of the day\" - for those totally dependent on what their own farms could produce for sustenance, and the good will of their neighbours for safety and stability, dependent on the preservation of property laws, with disaster and death never seeming very far, Joseph and his cult - with their disregard for so many things their neighbours thought necessary for survival and happiness (including respect for contemporary sexual standards) - appeared to pose a danger. Like...DANGER. Like, their livestock start going missing because Sidney Rigdon and Orson Hyde start talking about how everything around them properly belongs to Zion; like, their civil institutions being overtaken by religious voting blocs (how'd you like your school board taken over by devout Muslims who start reconstructing everything according to Muslim law? Now you know how local Missourians might have felt); like their sisters - AND WIVES - getting hit on by \"the prophet\"...\nThe truth is that church defenders ought to be GRATEFUL that Joseph Smith's modern critics may be judging him by the standards of today. After all, how many RFM posters are big fans of vigilante castration and assassination? Most of us would be more than happy to see Joseph's bad behaviour exposed and reproached, and then see his lies fade into the oblivion they - and all other lies - deserve. Joseph's contemporaries were a little more pro-active. When Joseph supposedly hit on (or actually had sex with) fifteen year old Nancy Marinda Johnson, Dr. Dennison, with the encouragement of a neighbourhood mob, nearly castrated him. THAT'S how people IN his his own time judged him \"according to their standards\". So, I guess by the \"logic\" of church defenders, who say we ought to judge Joseph by 1840 standards of right and wrong, is that the RIGHT thing for us - AND them - to all be saying now about Joseph Smith is, that he deserved to be dragged out of the Johnson farm house in the middle of night, nearly castrated, then tarred and feathered by a bunch of angry townspeople. No wonder Mormon defenders are confined to publishing their inanities in church-subsidized publications - it's only there that the accidental comedy can go unrecognized...\nOf course, it is too much to hope, that some church member, just as sincere as I was, could ever read this, and begin to think, \"Maybe...maybe I've missed something....\". But in the miraculous case that someone does, here is a final comment:\nIt was not considered proper in 1840's America for a foster father to secretly have sex with his teenage foster daughters - and Joseph did that TWICE (with both the Lawrence and Partridge sisters). It was not considered proper for a self-proclaimed religious pastor to secretly have sex with his housemaids. It was not considered proper for ANYONE, let alone a \"prophet\" who had publicly BANNED polygamy in his church charter, to secretly proposition other men's wives, even telling them that unless he could \"marry\" (have intercourse with) them, that an angel would murder him. It was not considered proper for ANY MAN to slander women who rejected your sexual advances, as Joseph did with Nancy Rigdon and Sarah Pratt. It was not considered proper for ANY 38 year old to secretly have sex with a fourteen year old, and in so doing, consign her to a life of loneliness, devoid of love. The truth is, according to the standards of the time, Joseph's character must be - and was - regarded by most as nothing short of loathsome.\nAnd in case you don't believe me, my member friend, I suggest you read \"Mormon Enigma\", recommended by the official church historian, Leonard Arrington. It is on sale at your local Deseret Books. In it, you will find another judgment made of Joseph, one made in accordance with \"the standards of his time\" by one of Joseph's contemporaries. In fact, that contemporary was none other than his wife, Emma. And her judgment, after finding out later from a mutual friend that Joseph's tomcatting was far greater than she had known, was that - \"he deserved to die as he did\".\nWhen's the last time you read THAT on the special Joseph website run by the church? Joseph Smith's OWN wife - that \"elect lady\" - the first president of the Relief Society, whose portrait can still be seen in church buildings all over the world, stated that Joseph's behaviour was such, *according to the standards of his day*, that HE DESERVED TO BE ASSASSINATED by a mob of drunken thugs.\nMy suggestion to Mormon church defenders: Stop asking modern critics to judge Joseph Smith by the \"standards of his day\". You're only making yourselves look - well...blind, in the way that only real delusion can make us look blind.\nIf we really needed certain proof that Joseph's church wasn't the only true religion in the world, so true Jesus was a member of it, I think all we'd really need to do is examine the arguments made in defense of it. They are enough to make a nine year old blush.\nFirst of all, let's get one thing clear: there is no case for Mormonism being what it claims to be. And virtually every church member, including prominent defenders, at least tacitly concedes this every time they:\n* Distort some point of Mormon doctrine or history in order to defend it;\n* Use logical fallacies in their defenses (in particular ad hoc \"reasoning\", ad hominem insinuations, and red herrings);\n* Employ thought-terminating cliches in lieu of coherent, on-topic rebuttals;\n* Reference thinkers who deny the possibility of absolute knowledge while defending a religion which claims that all who are sincere can acquire absolute knowledge that it is God's only true religion;\n* Criticize irrelevant characteristics of skeptical arguments, like typographical errors or who might be publicizing or supporting the article, while slighting or ignoring core points which appear to expose Mormon truth claims as false;\n* Claim that physical evidence is essentially irrelevant to evaluating the truth of Mormonism, since \"knowledge of the truthfulness of the gospel is only gained through the spirit anyway\", so that manifestly disconfirming evidence should be disregarded - when at the same time, they will present ANY physical evidence which could ever possibly be construed as supporting any Mormon claim;\n* And probably most tellingly, immediately switch (when called out on their inadequate defenses of truth claims) to defending the church on the basis of its utility.\nAnd since members do this not occasionally, but all the time, I think it is fair to say that average members, and apologists, tacitly concede Mormonism is indefensible as what it claims virtually every time they try to do defend it as such.\nBut back to the last point in the list, expressions of the utility argument are comments like these:\n* \"People need religion to keep them united and moral - and Mormonism in my opinion does that the best\"\n* \"I'm happy, my wife's happy, and all my kids' friends are Mormons - why would I want to tinker with that?\"\n* \"Everyone has to believe in something\"\n* \"I just really enjoy the service aspect\".\n* \"In Mormonism, I have identity, I have consolation, I have faith - what could you give me that's better if I left?\"\n* \"Without Mormonism, nothing would make sense\".\nOf course, none of these statements has anything to do with whether Mormon truth claims are, in fact, true, so that hearing these suddenly, in the middle of a conversation *about* Mormon truth claims, is rather like seeing a called-out Wizard of Oz frantically pull back the curtain to show off his wizard machine's cutting-edge technology, right in the middle of claiming that he's a real wizard. It seems to be nothing more than an attempt at saving face; but if it achieves this, it achieves it at the cost of conceding defeat on the only issue that ever really mattered, namely, whether his claims to being a wizard were really true. Or rather, whether Mormonism truth claims really were true.\nSo, because there is no case that Mormonism is what it claims, and because that fact is conceded virtually every time anyone tries to defend it as such regardless of whether they realize it or not, I propose that the only possibility of defending Mormonism *in any respect* is on grounds of utility, that is, that it is useful, and more - that it is more useful than other religions, or even, all other religions. What follows is my attempt at it. I haven't seen this argument made explicitly by any church defenders, but at the same time, it is in essence made every time a member repeats one of the slogans above. And certain Mormon \"intellectuals\" certainly give the impression they think it has something going for it. Here it is (not saying how much of the following I personally believe - I'm only trying to present a case:\nWhen we take a step back and really look at things, we find little, or no, evidence that a god, or group of gods, ever disrupts the normal flow of human action. One man prays for X and then gets X, another man prays for X and doesn't, the first man prays again for X and doesn't get it, the second man also doesn't get it, while a third does, and then doesn't, and on it goes...there is no discernible pattern in the occurence and non-occurence of X, or to whom X occurs, or in who gets fatally shot, and who narrowly escapes being fatally shot, or in which infant dies and which survives, or in any other event which may occur.\nAnimals prey on each other, and appear to have no conception of moral law. Human monsters enslave and brutalize their fellow humans, and far from being struck down by a god, can live just as long as others. If they meet justice, it is the justice instigated by human action. (It wasn't a god who found Saddam Hussein hiding in a hole, but a soldier). The wicked, in short, very obviously sometimes prosper, while the virtuous sometimes suffer, and the rain falls on the just and unjust alike. It can seem as though in reality, humans have no more transcendent moral law they need concern themselves over, than the rest of the animal kingdom, and that cosmic karma or cosmic justice is just another fiction. And claims that justice is *really* meted out in an afterlife, when we step back, seem...more likely to have arisen from our own psychological or emotional needs, than something which was ever revealed by a god living in the sky or in another dimension, to a mortal.\nPeople speak of \"true\" religions, yet if any religion is true, there has been no clear indication of which one might be, from a god. There is nothing but silence on this issue from the sky. Believers claim that this absence of indication or evidence should actually ENCOURAGE our belief, since it means that a god secretly wants us to believe in things for which there is no evidence. And yet, all we have as evidence that a god secretly feels this way, is a fellow mortal claiming he does. And when we ask that fellow mortal how he knows what that god wants, his only answer can be, that he heard it from ANOTHER fellow mortal and \"just knew\" it was true, and so on it will go back forever. And very clearly, a mortal simply claiming to know a certain something about a silent and invisible something or other, because some other mortal told him that that certain something was true, isn't a good reason to believe that certain something to be true. It is, rather, a good reason to ignore the claim entirely.\nMeanwhile, Lisbon earthquakes, Indonesian tidal waves, Vesuvian explosions, rock the earth and kill men, women, and children alike...and no amount of human imploration to a god appears to stay the occasionally genocidal forces of nature.\nIn short, stepping back, it appears the universe is impassive. We exist, and scientists tell us our existence is the result of chance. But whether it is or not doesn't matter here, since even if we were created by a deity, he or she or they is elusive and silent and inactive to the point of - well, for all intents and purposes, seeming not to exist. Where is that god? Why is there no communication from him or her, that a properly functioning mind could ever credit? It seems either that there are no gods, or that, if there are, they could not possibly care less what anyone thinks, or says, or does, on this planet - which amounts to about the same thing: for all intents and purposes at least, there is no god.\nSo, we appear to be alone in an impassive universe, on a planet, with not even any indication there are any other human beings anywhere in the universe. And that feels cold; and that feels lonely; and that feels *diminishing*. It can make you want to cry. But no matter how much you cry, no answer from heaven, or any god anywhere, ever comes.\nWhile I'm waiting for the spirit to reveal \"Part Two\" of my \"Case for Mormonism\" essay (nothing coming yet), I thought I'd do some more pro bono work for the church and reveal my idea for a whole new PR campaign. It's based on a little idea I just thought of about four seconds ago, called \"Entertainment Theory\". (And since it's only four seconds old, I haven't really had time to think it through, so I'm making this up on the fly, kind of like Joseph Smith with his religion).\nA synopsis of Entertainment Theory:\nPeople pay attention to, and become devoted to, what entertains them. They generally don't care about any \"moral\" implications of what the entertainment consists of. No matter what they say or do on Sunday, during the week they watch trash on television, spend more time watching Jerry Springer or car-crash news, than praying or reading the Bible. (Exceptions are those involved in a religion which they find more entertaining than Jerry or CNN). People would even watch live executions for sheer entertainment value, just like they did in ancient Rome. So for a religion to thrive, it has to win in today's entertainment competition. For example, there is no religion in the world right now more entertaining than Islam: people are blowing themselves up, beheading people, fomenting revolution, kidnapping, extorting, trying to start World War Three for Allah, etc. And what's growing like gangbusters? ISLAM. NOT Mormonism. See?\nSo, I'm thinking that the problem is NOT what Hinckley and Edelman thought it was: \"that we have to get our message out\". The problem is, the message is boring. This mainstreaming thing has backfired big-time. The church's only hope is to get even weirder than it is right now (I see John Gee as the new editor of the Deseret News, for example). The only interesting thing Hinckley ever does these days is publicly lie about Mormon doctrine, and that's just not good enough. Lying goes without saying in this environment. The church needs spectacular, gruesome, horrific lies, that they can then be caught in, and then offer a spectacular, gruesome, horrific apology for, before lying again, and stuff like that. I ask you: What other action could Winona Ryder have taken to resurrect her dead career, than to commit a crime and get arrested for it? The church needs more drama, and larger-than-life characters. Say what you want about JS and Brigham Young - they sure had people around the globe talking about them. The guys running the place now are DUDS, all caps.\nSo, a few ideas for the church which come from Entertainment Theory:\nTake a page from WWE and develop \"characters\": Get the GAs out of their cult uniforms and let them go kind of haywire. Immediately waive all grooming and dress standards for them. I'm sure it wouldn't be two weeks before Marlin Jensen (Democrat) was sporting a goatee, for example. The church can then play him up as a bohemian. Let Packer stay in his suit according to the \"unwritten order of men's attire\" - but let David Burton play the \"fun-loving Chris Farley chubby guy\" in the Hawaiian shirt and shorts, let Eyring walk around in a white lab coat holding a clipboard playing the studious guy, Hales can walk around in his WWII Air Force uni and, when talking about \"the adversary\", keep shaking his clenched fists like he's a tail gunner machine-gunning a Messerschmidt, Oaks could dress like Yul Brynner in \"The King and I\" or else sport his old black robe from the Utah Supreme Court. He could even put on a traditional judicial wig. ANYTHING to get people to start paying attention to the church, without really focusing on its wacko truth claims, would be in the church's best interests. In fact, the more entertaining \"the show\" is, the more of a POSITIVE will be the wacko truth claims.\nAfter all, you can't even get normal members to sit through (snore) a TV broadcast of General Conference - and MEMBERS actually think that the First Prez and Quorum have SEER STONES and stuff! Contrast that with the series \"Big Love\". See what I'm saying? \"Big Love\" has gotten more people intrigued with Mormonism in the past year, than Hinckley did in the past ten with his lame, false-cutesy interviews. Why? \"Big Love\" has INTERESTING characters involved in INTERESTING, basically freakish, dramatic situations. Mormonism has DULL non-characters involved in nothing interesting at all, for the average person anyway.\nAlong with this, the GA's should stop pretending they don't have arguments, and start BROADCASTING them - even PLANNING them. (What about fisticuffs between Oaks and Packer?) They ought to bring cameras right into the First Prez Quorum meetings and turn it into a reality show. They could call it \"Cult Life\".\nQuick start: The closest thing the church has to a freak show is FARMS, and if they really want to get rolling on this whole new PR tack quickly, they could immediately install a camera crew into the laboratory where FARMS writers, with all the invincible self-satisfaction and self-importance that only true, full-blown delusion can spawn - cook up each new ad hoc attempt to try to re-assemble the latest item of Mormon belief obliterated by unfolding reality. The climax of each show will show all the FARMS writers congratulating themselves on realizing the conceptual equivalent of a taped-together mess of disfigured, smouldering scrap metal, which they insist is a fully functioning 747. Or something like that.\nAnyway, the strategy over the past ten years hasn't worked, given the declining growth rates, ongoing resignations, etc. Why not try out Entertainment Theory?\nSurprise: realizing your entire life is built on a fraud can put strain on your marriage.\nYou form your expectations of a spouse according to cult criteria, you search within the cult for a spouse, you fall in love with cult versions of each other, your whole understanding of how to make important decisions comes from (insane) cult epistemology, etc., etc. So one day you wake up with 20 kids and a mortgage, and \"the church\" (that fetishized god we all worshipped) and the cosmos it represented, has imploded, because you saw it for what it was - a fraud. When you've both been cult zombies, what then holds you together?\nMy wife's had a tough time the past two and a half years. The church was everything to her; to find out she'd been wrong about the most important thing in her life, to lose so many of her friends, to be left suddenly without answers to questions that tugged at her, left her unsure of herself, resentful of missed opportunities, and almost afraid to believe in anything else, since to do so might set her up for more hurt in the future.\nIn an effort to stabilize things and fill in the gaps, I've really tried hard to find common interests. Unfortunately, when someone is grieving, they're not always that interested in \"exploring\" together, so it's been tough. I did manage to find matching his and her beach cruisers, so we could go out for evening bike rides (and no, I didn't care that we looked like 70 year olds on them). And we have had some wonderful rides...but then something happened I never expected. One night, Tracy caught \"Dog the Bounty Hunter\" on TV...\nNow, just to back up a bit, I've been a fan of Dog Chapman's since long before he had his own TV show. I can't even remember now how I found out about him, but I've been following him for like five or six years or something. In fact, when he tracked down the Max Factor heir rapist guy in Mexico a few years ago, and got arrested by Mexican authorities and put in jail for capturing him, I made a special point of calling my whole family together (I was still TBM) and having a special prayer for Dog, asking Heavenly Father to help him get out of jail. And no, I'm not embarrassed about it, dammit. It's just who I was at the time. (By the way, he got out, so I guess my prayer didn't hurt...). One other thing - last year for Halloween, my oldest three boys and I almost went out trick-or-treating as Dog and his crew. (My son Ashton called dibs on Leland. For some reason we didn't end up going in the end, but maybe this year...).\nAnyway, one night about six weeks ago, Tracy comes down, and Dog comes on TV. She'd never actually seen it, and never shown any interest whatsoever. All of a sudden, she's completely transfixed. Within five minutes, she's talking about how it's the best show she's ever seen, how sincere she thinks Dog is, how sweet it is that they try to help the people they pick up, how sad it is, what a bitch Beth is though she has a good heart, all kinds of stuff. The show ends with the handcuffed bail jumper crying, talking about how he's going to transform his life because he has a new baby girl, and Tracy starts sobbing, \"this is so moving...I can feel that he really means it...\". I'm like \"Wha...?\".\nSo I've been recording Dog episodes for us to watch ever since. Everytime, we both sit there riveted, me still chuckling internally at this weird common interest I never contemplated the possibility of for one nanosecond. (It's especially ironic given the hours I've spent racking my mind trying to think of ways to bring us together, and the hundreds of dollars I've spent trying to spark things up).\nTonight, for some reason, they played two straight hours of Dog episodes (ending with Dog and Beth's marriage ceremony, after Barbara Katy, Dog's daughter from a previous marriage, is killed in a car crash). We sat there the whole time, ate some fine Dutch chocolate (Droste) and drank a bit of wine, and had a really good time. And I'm not really one for TV, and neither is she. But there we were, and it was a blast.\nIt is funny how at different times of life, the most mundane things can take on more importance than you'd ever expect. My Dad and my stepmother always lay in bed and watch \"Coronation Street\", and I always kind of thought it was silly. But of course, it isn't silly - it's life, and no different than loving the same football team, novelist, or musician. It's fun. It brings you together. You look through the same window at the world, and it becomes something special between you...\nI was exaggerating when I said Dog Chapman saved my marriage, but every little area where Tracy and I can come together, helps, and I appreciate them more than ever. I'm glad Dog got that show!\nGood luck to others in rebuilding their relationships.\nFormer Mormons still entertained by the embarrassing horror that is Mormon apologetics may have noticed that several BYU professors published a \"response\" recently to the movie \"The Da Vinci Code\". I admit that wasn't nearly as stupid as FARMS publishing a negative review of Carl Sagan's \"The Demon-Haunted World\" - but then, nothing is.\nAnyway, I saw Will Farrell's \"Talladega Nights\" the other night. In one scene, Farrell's character Ricky Bobby says grace, directing it to \"Lord Baby Jesus\". An argument then ensues between Ricky Bobby, his wife Carly, his best friend Cal, and Carly's dad, about which Jesus one should pray to. Ricky Bobby says he likes infant \"Christmas Jesus\" best, while the others weigh in with different opinions: \"bearded Jesus\", etc.\nClearly, (judging from the fact \"The Da Vinci Code\" elicited a response from Mormon professors), church members are easily confused by movies, and church defenders are on high alert against \"erroneous doctrine\" being promoted by Hollywood. So I'm just wondering when to expect FARMS' 9000 word rebuttal of Ricky Bobby's take on the doctrine of prayer.\nWait...I think I'm channeling it...even before it's been written...kind of like Joseph seeing Alvin in the celestial kingdom, even though he hadn't been resurrected or finally judged yet...here is an excerpt (footnotes in parentheses)...\n\"Were (1) it not (2) for the impassioned yet well-reasoned protestations of Clement (3), Constantine (4), Athanasius (5), Hippo (6), St. Augustine (7), and to a lesser degree, Mohammed (8), Moses Maimonides (9), Al-Farabi (10), Julius Caesar (11), Caligula (12), Cicero (13), Nero (14), Thomas Aquinas (15), and other people who I am sure are very, very important (16), and the subsequent responses from rival religious theorists (17) in and throughout (and above, and below) the upper and lower Mediterranean region (18) pre- of course the advent of Gutenberg's printing press (19) or any or all different kinds of printing or copying technology (20) whatsoever as it would have ever applied to the status (21) quo (22) of Christianity as it then existed (23) in altered and indeed apostate form (24), as would obviously be the case by the fact that the pure authority bequeathed by Christ (25) (26) (27) (28) to his apostles in the form of the priesthood had already been lost or at most rescinded by divine decree (29) (though the details of this disappearance are of course not essential to our salvation and are therefore not worth speculating upon in this piece) (30), the age at which Jesus may be imagined most appropriately while praying may forever have been in dispute, the subject of \"contention\" and \"endless disputations\" (31), which the author believes would have culminated in a needless and irrelevant distraction (32) from the figure of Jesus himself as the object of adoration (33) at whatever age, an ageless worthiness testified to by the magi (34) and exultant angels (35) and shepherds, although it cannot be stated too emphatically that God the Father (35), not Jesus, is the deity to whom all prayers (36) should be addressed, notwithstanding Joseph Smith's Kirtland Temple dedicatory prayer to 'Jehovah' as recorded in section 109 of the Doctrine and Covenants (see footnoes 37 through 95), an exception much commented upon by anti-Mormons, yet easily explicable once we remember that...\".\nI think I might have told this story on here a couple of years ago, but here goes again in case anyone missed it. It's pretty nuts.\nEarly on in my mission to Argentina, I was stationed in a little town called Recreo, outside of Santa Fe. My companion, Elder \"Rodriguez\" (alias), was a tough, muscular kid who'd grown up on the streets of Buenos Aires. He had converted to Mormonism about a year before coming out on his mission.\nA few months prior to our arrival, missionaries in our area had tracted into a slightly portly, almost child-like guy in his mid/late twenties named Enrique. As I heard the story from the Zone Leader, the elders began to teach him, and were overwhelmed by his enthusiasm to learn about the gospel. He was, in a word, a golden contact. Enrique read III Nephi 11, told them he knew the BOM was true, accepted the baptismal challenge, and everything was going swimmingly, until somehow or other (I think during the fourth discussion or the baptismal interview) they discovered that Enrique was gay. At that point, the previous elders declined to baptize him or continue teaching him.\nHowever, as I saw myself after arriving in the area, rejection didn't diminish Enrique's commitment to the church. He came to every activity, every service project, every baptismal service, and every Sunday meeting, always arriving holding his church books in front against his chest, always flitting round chatting excitedly with all the sisters, just as though he were a staunch relief society sister. During gospel doctrine class on Sundays, he always piped up more than anyone else. Everytime the teacher asked a question, Enrique's hand would immediately go up. He seemed totally unperturbed by (actually, oblivious to) the fact that he wasn't even a member, or that the guys actually running the church didn't even want him around.\nWell, a few weeks after Elder Rodriguez and I arrived, a few sisters independently told us that Enrique had developed a crush on me and had talked about it in various conversations (they also said Enrique always developed a crush on new missionaries). Elder R got pretty upset by this news. His concern, like mine, was that Enrique might start talking about his crush around new members or investigators, and that they would then get the wrong impression about the church and the missionaries. I suggested we just talk to Enrique frankly and ask him to keep quiet about his crush, and his future crushes. Rodriguez didn't seem to be in much of a mood for \"rational discussion\" at that moment, and after a minute or two, we kind of dropped the topic. I actually thought then that we had a plan - we would just have a little chat with Enrique next time we saw him. Boy, was I wrong.\nWe used to show church movies and filmstrips at the little chapel on Tuesday nights, so a few nights later we met up with the Zone Leaders to put it on. Well, who showed up but Enrique, as always holding his church books tightly to his chest, chatting animatedly with all the sisters. Rodriguez began cursing quietly. I said, \"Don't get weird; I'll just talk to the guy and I'm sure everything will be fine\".\nSo movie night ends, and we're outside saying goodbye to everyone. As usual, Enrique was the last one to leave the church, so by the time he came out, no one else was around. So I say, \"Enrique, come here for a minute. I need to talk to you\".\nEnrique came over and we walked a ways away from the door, over toward the property's metal fence. So I say something like, \"Listen...we keep hearing that you're telling people you've got a thing for me, and we have to ask you if you would stop it...\". As I'm talking, Enrique starts to interrupt, denying, in a high-pitched, lispy voice, that he's said anything like this. He kept repeating, \"Yo no dije nada!...pero yo no dije nada!...\" (\"I didn't say anything\"). So I'm like, \"Look, if you haven't said any such thing, that's great, but if you have or you feel tempted to, just-\"\nWell, as Enrique and I have been trying to communicate, my comp Rodriguez has been standing there, growing more and more agitated...and suddenly, as Enrique in his girlish voice denies once again that he could EVER say anything like that, Rodriguez snaps, like a dog, and in a flash grabs Enrique by the front of the shirt and slams him up against the fence, and in a really menacing tone, says something like, \"Listen you faggot (the word was \"maricon\")...NO ONE says anything like that about me or my comp EVER...me ENTENDES?\", and then uncoils a right cross, drilling Enrique right in the jaw, knocking him down instantly.\nI remember saying \"stop!\" in that moment, but it all happened so fast and it was so surreal...before I knew it Rodriguez had grabbed Enrique up off the ground and slammed him against the fence again, shouted some parting threat at him and then told him to get away. Enrique, scared to death and crying, frantically gathered up his scattered books in a few seconds, and ran away as fast as he could.\nI'd like to say I performed some heroic deed during this assault, but the truth is, it all happened so fast and it was so unexpected, all I really did, aside from saying \"stop\" and \"calm down!\", was kind of stand there in shock. In that moment, I didn't know what to do.\nWe stood there in the dark, listening to the fading sound of Enrique's running footsteps and his sobs. I looked at Rodriguez and said, \"WHAT was THAT?\". And then...Rodriguez started crying. \"What have I done? They'll send me home now...I lost my temper...Prez already warned me once...\" (it turned out that Rodriguez had already punched out a previous companion - now why in the hell did they put this nut with me, a greenie? How irrresponsible is that?). Anyway...I said, \"We'd better go talk to the Zonies\".\nSo we go in to the darkened chapel where Elders E. (from Buenos Aires) and G. (from North Carolina - are you reading this, dude?! If so, post!), are chatting after putting away the projector and stuff. Rodriguez is crying. Elder E. says, \"What's going on?\". And Rodriguez, head down, inbetween sobs, says, \"Pege el maricon\" (\"I punched the fag\").\n\"Que?!\", says Elder E.\n\"Pege el maricon\". More crying.\n\"Enrique?\"\n\"Si\".\nElder E was one of my MP's faves. He was 26, so a lot older than everyone else, a big athletic guy, really smart and capable, and about to turn pro I think for San Lorenzo (soccer) when he converted to the church in Buenos Aires and decided to serve a mission. He had a lot of pull with the prez, and would shortly after this incident be made an Assistant, where he remained for the rest of his mission. He ended up basically as the Deputy MP. So, I knew Elder E., out of duty, would let the hammer fall. Of course - it had to. A missionary in his zone had just punched somebody out!\nSo there's like five seconds of silence, and then Elder E. says:\n\"Well...I don't know if it's so bad...\".\nI'm thinking, \"Wha...?\"\nE. continues: \"I've almost punched him out a few times myself...\"\nRodriguez sniffs and says, \"En serio?\" (\"Really?\")\nThe conversation ends with Elder E. telling Rodriguez not to worry, promising to \"smooth this over\" with the prez.\nThe next week prez came up for a conference and met with Elder Rodriguez. Prez asked him to promise not to do it again, which he did (I guess, just like after the first time he beat someone up on his mission). And that was it.\nBy then, word had leaked out and every missionary at this three zone conference knew what had happened; and if you can believe it, all the elders who came up to us to talk about it seemed really impressed, asking Rodriguez for all the details. And Rodriguez, perhaps because the reactions of his ZL and MP had amounted to a wink, with his ZL even saying he'd almost done the same thing a few times, now beamed with pride while recounting the whole incident, over and over!\nI am positive that any church representative or General Authority would condemn beating up gay people because they're gay. But all this means is that they've achieved \"baseline humanity\", you know? The truth is, that any organization claiming to have the only legitimate civil or religious authority ON EARTH, and claiming to be led by a genuine prophet, through whom God himself reveals his mind and will to the world, OWES THE WORLD AN EXPLANATION about what it says is a moral issue.\nMormon church leaders have said homosexual acts are immoral. Okay, let's say they might be - how did the Mormon prophet find that out? Can we read the revelation? Where is it? Oh - the ban on homosexuality comes from the Bible? Well, the writer of Leviticus and St. Paul both condemn homosexuality; but they also encourage, respectively, killing children for dishonouring parents, and forbidding women to speak in church meetings, both of which the church totally ignores. When's the last time the church took a public stand on the \"moral issue\" of legalizing execution for disobedient children, or suspended the speaking privileges of women in their church meetings? NEVER. Therefore, the church's brazenly selective acceptance of Biblical injunctions means that in fact, they have discredited the Bible as a source of authority in the very act of seeking to show they credit it as a source of authority. So, the Bible is out. So, what is there then, as a basis for this pronouncement? If it's \"modern revelation\" - where'sthe revelation? And if there is one somewhere, are we really supposed to believe all it consists of is, \"that's bad - 'nuff said\"? Call me crazy, but that sounds rather...suspicious.\nI mean, if there was ever a time for some explanatory \"revelation\" on an issue, it would be now, on this, when the world's greatest countries are struggling with whether to reconceptualize marriage and codify that reconception into law. How does homosexuality come about? To what degree is it innate, to what degree environmentally induced? Why would God consign some of his children to a lifetime of torment, by allowing them homosexual hard-wiring but prohibiting them - on pain of damnation - from ever acting upon it? Where are the answers?\nA few more questions: Since church leaders accept Leviticus' condemnation of homosexuality as immoral, do they ALSO accept Leviticus' recommendation of EXECUTION for practicing homosexuals? If yes, why aren't they publicly campaigning for capital punishment for practicing homosexuals along with their campaign against gay marriage? And if no, then why not? They certainly still accept Leviticus' recommendation of capital punishment for murderers - so why not homosexuals? After all, that the writer of Leviticus prescribes the EXACT same punishment for both murder and homosexuality is tantamount to a judgment of (im)moral equivalence between murder and homosexuality. Does the church accept the moral equivalence of a homosexual act, and murder? If so, then let them say so. And if not, then let them explain why not. (They might need the sophists at FARMS for that one. Who better to explain how two plus two doesn't necessarily equal four?)\nFunny thing - church leaders don't seem to have the faintest idea about how to answer any of these questions. All they can say is, \"homosexual acts are bad. Gay marriage is bad. It's bad. Gay bad.\" Any moron can say, \"that's good\" or \"that's bad\" when asked for an opinion. Shouldn't a guy with a seer stone in his vault be able to tell us a little more than that?\nNO - because there is no such thing as a \"seer stone\". There are only...stones.\nJust like there are no \"prophets\" - only people.\nIs having the right opinion on Mormonism analogous to having the right opinion on global warming?\nI suggest the answer is no. Here is, I think, why:\nIncoherence (contradiction) of parts proves falsity. The many internal inconsistencies within Mormonism itself - in its doctrines, and as a natural extension in its ad hoc-style apologetics - alone establishes, beyond all rational contestation, that Mormon truth claims are false.\nMoreover, leaving aside the examination of the internal, when we compare Mormon truth claims to what we understand about the external world, we are left with no rational option other than to conclude that those claims are false. There is now, for example, no sane way to believe that Joseph's claimed Egyptian translations are Egyptian translations. There is now no sane way to believe that the earth was unpopulated, and in an Edenic state where no creature died, until 4000 BC. There is now no sane way to believe that the sun gets its light through \"borrowing\" light from an-as-yet-undiscovered star called Kolob. There is now no sane way to believe that every human being on this planet, of every race, descends from one Jewish guy and his family who survived a global flood in 3000 BC, or that every single animal on this planet descends from the relatively few animals the Jewish guy could have accomodated on his boat. Etc.\nFor an analogy to exist between skepticism about man-made global warming (MGW) and belief in Mormonism, the arguments for skepticism about MGW would have to be just as overwhelmingly refuted by evidence, just as insane, just as internally incoherent, as arguments for Kolobian \"light borrowing\", 100% cotton physically protective underclothing, a planet where nothing died until 6000 years ago, or a hundred other points in Mormon theology or truth claims. Is that really the case? Even if we all believe that mankind is causing global warming, let's ask this: Who has to be crazier - a Mormon apologist at FARMS, or a climatologist skeptical about MGW claims? I think everyone would say the former; and if so, then in truth, do we not all agree that skepticism about MGW and belief in Mormonism, are, at this point anyway, not really analogous?\nHere are a few interesting starter articles about this issue:\nhttp://www.reason.com/rb/rb111004.sht...\nhttp://www.cfact.org/site/view_articl...\nhttp://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage...\nhttp://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?chan...\nhttp://www.ucsusa.org/global_warming/\nhttp://www4.nationalacademies.org/onp...\nhttp://www.answers.com/topic/list-of-...\nCan you imagine the PR coup that would be?\n\"After enduring years of ridicule for maintaining that three 2000 year old men are roaming the earth performing acts of service, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has now proven its skeptics wrong...\", etc.\nThe claim that certain persons on this planet are TWO THOUSAND YEARS OLD comes right from what is supposedly \"the most correct book on earth\", the Book of Mormon. The appearance of these two-thousand year old men would silence every skeptic of Mormonism. It would vindicate the marginalized oddballs at FARMS. So where is the search? Why hasn't the church brought in \"The Dog\" and Leland and Beth and everyone to track down The Three Nephites? Why isn't Hinckley trying to get them on the Larry King Show?\nSince the existence of two thousand year old men on this planet is a MORMON TRUTH CLAIM, and inextricable from the church's claims for the Book of Mormon itself -\nWhy doesn't any church leader or apologist speak of it? Why aren't these shadowy performers of Christian service lauded as great examples by General Authorities at General Conference?\nWhen you think about it, this silence seems quite telling. What I think it tells us is, that - bizarrely enough - core parts of Mormonism are unbelievable EVEN to devout believers in Mormonism; and the way they deal with that, is to try to stop thinking about those unbelievable parts altogether, and when absolutely forced to think about them, transform them into \"irrelevant\" \"mysteries\" unworthy of serious discussion, \"so let's get back to what's really important\" (i.e., \"other Mormon truth claims I still CAN think about without immediately doubting\").\nBoth Joseph Smith and John Mark Karr both married and had sex with fourteen year old girls: Helen Mar Kimball for Smith, and Quientana Shotts for Karr (his first wife).\nWhat do Karr and Smith NOT have in common?\nKarr was only nineteen when he married his fourteen year old bride; however, Mormonism's founder was THIRTY SEVEN years old, and already married to his wife Emma when he \"married\" Helen M. Kimball.\nIn fact, again like Karr, who went on to marry a sixteen year old girl (Lara Knutson) after his first marriage ended, and apparently have sex with several other young girls, Smith had sex with his housemaid Fanny Alger when she was sixteen (her age by some accounts). He also had sex with sixteen year old Flora Ann Woodworth. Another Smith conquest was Nancy Winchester, apparently around fourteen or fifteen at the time of her \"plural marriage\" to a man who Mormons are still singing hymns in honour of every Sunday.\nCan you say \"cult\"?\nSee http://people.aol.com/people/article/...\nAnd http://www.i4m.com/think/polygamy/tee...\nFrom the magical thinking of FARMS:\n\"Book of Mormon cities have been found, they are well known, and their artifacts grace the finest museums. They are merely masked by archaeological labels such as 'Maya', 'Olmec', and so on.\"\nhttp://farms.byu.edu/display.php?tabl...\nCheck out the official university faculty photo of the man heading up the church's Book of Mormon archaeology efforts:\nhttp://fhss.byu.edu/anthro/faculty/cl...\n\"You know you're a former Mormon when...\"\nSo I and my sex goddess of a wife (can you tell she reads the board now?) went out last night. As we parked and headed toward the mall, we passed an Egyptian import shop. We ducked in.\nTen seconds later I'm standing in front of a bunch of papyrus scrolls with all these figures on them. So I say, \"Hey, that's Anubis right? The jackal-headed god...\". The Egyptian guy looked shocked. \"How you are knowing this?\". I'm like, \"And he's weighing the souls of the dead to see who gets to go to heaven, right?\".\nThe Egyptian guy looked just like Buckwheat on the Little Rascals when he's really surprised. \"Yes sir! This is Anubis, he is - how is it - judging all the people - *but how you are knowing this*? No one here is knowing this!\"\nI just looked at my incredible, luscious Brigitte Bardot-look alike wife (mousy voice: hi dear), and I'm like, \"uh.......it's a really ----- long ----- story.....!\". We had a pretty good chuckle afterward.\n(Instant trip down memory lane - screen goes blurry...I'm 25 again...and this is what I'm thinking...)\n\"....It's too bad that that wunderkind of the Egyptological universe, John W. Gee, isn't here to tell Ahab all about the \"secret encryptions\" and \"mnemonic devices\" in his dumb little papyrus scrolls, which REALLY tell the whole story of Abraham, Sarah, and Terah! Ha! Those stupid Egyptians don't even realize that their culture's famous, ancient religious documents, are REALLY all about JEWISH guys!\"\nGlad I'm in the one true church,\nTalmage - and proud of it - Bachman\nHow did we go nuts?...There are so many parts to it...here is one part, I think.\nAll ultimate conclusions derive from original premises. But inbetween original premises and ultimate conclusions there is often a series of links: a conclusion is drawn from the original premises, which then serves as the premise for a subsquent conclusion, which then serves as the premise for the next conclusion, and a \"chain of reasoning\" is built up which culminates in an ultimate conclusion.\nHere is one such (short) chain of reasoning we are all familiar with:\n(P1): Feeling spiritually moved reading the Book of Mormon is God's holy spirit telling you the Book of Mormon is all the Mormon church claims it to be;\n(P2): You have felt spiritually moved reading the BOM;\n(C): Therefore, you now know the Book of Mormon is all the church claims it to be.\nThis conclusion now serves as the premise for a subsequent conclusion:\nNow that you know the BOM is all the church claims it to be, you also know by logical extension that Joseph Smith was a prophet in just the way the Mormon church claims him to be.\nThis conclusion now serves as the premise for the ultimate conclusion:\nNow that you know JS was a prophet in just the way the Mormon church claims him to be, you also know by logical extension that the church he founded is all it claims to be, namely, the ONLY true religion on earth, the ONLY one fully sanctioned by the creator of the universe himself.\nI called this \"the ultimate conclusion\". It might be better to view it as the \"main hub\" of Mormon conclusions, since an infinity of miniature chains of reasoning and conclusions emerge from it, like octopus tentacles, as in: now that you know the Mormon church is all it claims, you know that:\n* Just after leaving home, Jesus started the Mormon church and was a proud member of it;\n* Joseph Smith's covert, extra-marital, and near pedophilic, sexual behaviour was not only not disapproved of by God, but actually, it was all God's idea, and the previously foot-dragging Joseph was just reluctantly following orders after a homicidal angel gave him a death threat;\n* You should not have a vasectomy;\n* Your funeral is not your own, but the church's;\n* It is better for your child to be killed on his/her mission, than for him/her to attend university instead;\n* You should give ten percent of your annual income (on gross rather than net gets you \"more blessings\") to the church Joseph Smith founded;\n* You should not ever be bothered by evidence disconfirming Mormon truth claims, since \"disconfirming evidence\" of something that is \"true\" cannot, by definition, exist; it only *seems* like disconfirming evidence, so...no problem;\n* Women displease the creator of the universe when they wear more than one earring in an ear;\n* You should never disobey any Mormon church president, because God would not ever let him \"lead you astray\" - so potentially, if he assures you he is speaking as a prophet, and then tells you to murder someone, you should murder, since you know now that's what God wants you to do; and if by some impossible chance the prophet has made a mistake, he will be the one held responsible by God for it anyway: \"our duty is to obey\";\n* In Dallin Oaks' words, the church does not owe the world \"'both sides' of the Mormon story\", that is, the church owes the world nothing but misleading, presumably self-serving propaganda,\nOne seductive characteristic of this chain of reasoning is its logic. Each conclusion really does seem to follow from the premise before. No wonder some folks wind up so convinced that, say, they ought not to lovingly raise their own flesh and blood, but rather, that they ought to force their heartbroken daughter to give her illegitimate child up to LDS Social Services to be raised by strangers who may have, like my charming and borderline-criminal sibling, entirely snowed the hapless LDS social worker and the naive birth mother (if they only knew...). Or, why some parent would deliver their fourteen year old daughter over to the prophet for some John Mark Karr-style deflowering (Heber Kimball giving his 14 year old daugher Helen to Joseph Smith). It is no wonder, in a word, that even educated people in 2006 could feel no reservations about devoting their lives to a cult. As far as you can figure while inside of it, \"it just all makes sense\". It sure did to me, for most of my life.\nThe fundamental problem with this chain of reasoning must be obvious to us now. David Hume seems to put his finger on it in \"An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding\". He writes that unless a premise is *directly* accessible to knowledge or reasonable belief, all \"our reasonings would be merely hypothetical; and however the particular links might be connected with one another, the whole chain of inferences would have nothing to support it...\".\nSo, ignoring for the moment the whole chain (not listed here) which leads to Premise One, let us ask: From where did we ever get the *knowledge*, if indeed it is knowledge, that feeling spiritually/emotionally stirred means that *knowledge* is being beamed into us from an interventionist God through something called \"a holy ghost\", to the effect that \"Mormonism is the one true religion in the whole world\"? From where? When we step back and think, is there ANY good reason to have ever believed such a thing? No, there is not. In Hume's words, this series of links turns out to have \"nothing to support it\" at all.\nAfter all, that all those we trusted most in the world told us this was so from the day we were born, does not constitute a good reason to believe it. Subsequent spiritual or emotional experiences also do not constitute a good reason, since this would only be begging the question: the whole point is, what reason did anyone ever have, to suppose that these experiences were messages from a god - a Mormon god - that Mormonism is the only true religion in the universe? None. From what sufficiently reliable source did we get that knowledge, if we did get it from a sufficiently reliable source?\nTracing back through the hearsay, the original source turns out to be the Book of Mormon itself; and the much-touted \"promise\" in Moroni 10:3-5, upon inspection, turns out to be, far short of \"sufficiently reliable\", nothing but the religious equivalent of a magician's card trick (which, however, we all fell prey to). All card tricks depend on an original (uncritical and unwarranted) granting of authority by the observer/participant - a submission of will, if you like - to the magician: the moment you comply with the magician's command to \"pick the top card\" or \"cut the deck\", the result is inevitable, and that result will appear - it can only appear - to be \"magical\" (or in Mormonism's case, \"supernatural\").\nIn other words, the really spectacular event in these sequences, isn't that the ace of spades turned into the eight of hearts, or that you got a \"yes\" at the end of your prayer; it is rather the fact that the magician or religionist got you to cede authority to him in the first place, *without you even noticing*. In that moment, sad to say, no matter how long the process lasts - it is already over, the result nearly a foregone conclusion, particularly when your mother, father, siblings, grandparents, all your friends, everyone around you, are all hoping and praying that you waive your critical faculties and *not notice* the fact that just by virtue of praying, you have already pre-committed yourself to the proposition that praying and trying to \"feel messages\" is a reliable way of finding out how many angels can fit on the head of a pin, or rather, of finding out whether 180 years ago, a floating angel wafted in and out of visibility in someone's bedroom...(not to mention that you have already accepted as true that if you get a no, you do NOT have a \"sincere heart\" and you don't have \"real intent\").\nTo clarify: If you only said, \"But why should I pick the *top* card, rather than any other card, if this is really magic?\", then of course, nothing seemingly \"magical\" would ever ensue. You'd just wind up looking at some guy in a top hat and tails, seeing that there is absolutely no reason to believe he is what he claims. It is the same with the Book of Mormon's great \"promise\": If you only said when challenged by your seminary teacher or missionary, \"But wait - what good reason is there to believe *in the first place* that *feeling good* means God is telling me that Mormonism is the only true religion in the world? How does it make ANY sense, how could it EVER be valid, to BEGIN by my investigation into whether I should grant authority to the Book of Mormon, by GRANTING AUTHORITY TO THE BOOK OF MORMON?\", then nothing seemingly \"supernatural\" would ensue there, either. You'd just be left staring at a book, seeing clearly that there is absolutely no reason to believe it is what it claims. And that would be that.\nSo, the only thing needed for \"that\" NOT to be \"that\", is to never notice your original mistake; and you can grow to adulthood, believing in weirder and weirder things, progressively inuring yourself to reality out of allegiance to a whole system of dogma and all the real things resulting from that allegiance, until you wind up, on that particular issue anyway, insane - as incapable of acknowledging reality or observing the most rudimentary rules of thought *on that issue*, as an asylum inmate, or someone who \"knows\" that aliens are sending him messages, or that there is a spaceship trailing the Haley-Bopp comet, or that Queen Elizabeth is a shape-shifting reptilian.\nThe truth is, at any moment, any human being can believe anything. Fortunately, most of us don't. Not even devout Mormons will believe anything about anything. Most function pretty well in all kinds of areas, and may be very skilled analysts and thinkers.\nYet, all it would take is one original error of thought, perhaps even made when we are only eight or nine years old, so long ago we don't even remember making it and so have a hard time even evaluating it now, to trigger a \"chain of reasoning\" which, thirty or forty years later, can lead us to believe, and do, literally ANYTHING about or for Mormonism. That means we've become totally nuts when it comes to Mormonism. It literally becomes TOTALLY INCONCEIVABLE - I mean, PHYSIOLOGICALLY inconceivable, like our brains are not even CAPABLE of considering this thought seriously - that it be a fraud.\nAnd then, we are stuck and helpless, not even able to contemplate we are in a maze, let alone find our way out...in that mental state, our faculties do the OPPOSITE of what they do in so many other areas, and so we can find no good reason NOT to believe that three two-thousand year old men are roaming the earth performing acts of charity, or that once, a man translated an unknown form of Egyptian while wearing ancient spectacles fitted with stones as \"translation lenses\", but then later had to give the plates back to an angel, or that the hieratic on Michael Chandler's Book of Breathings scrolls wasn't the story of Hor and Anubis and Isis at all, but actually had a \"secret code\" in it, which no one else could or can find except Joseph Smith, telling the story of Genesis's Abraham and Sarah and Terah. And we can be named John Clark, or Talmage Bachman, or John Doe, or Steve Benson, or Steve Young, or Orrin Hatch...you go to church on Sunday and talk excitedly about your belief in the most insane things imaginable, time zones near Kolob and \"darkness so damn dark, you could feel it, boys!\", and then on Monday, you sit on the Senate Judiciary Committee screening Supreme Court nominees!\nThere's a lot more to say about the process of going insane, Mormon-style, and the actual psychological mechanics of the screening process (which has actually been measured by psychologists), but this is already way too long and I ought to stop talking for now.\nFor all the friendships and fun we might find in church life, there is something really nauseatingly vile within Mormonism. And I'm not talking here just about the fact that it was founded by a charlatan.\nI'm talking about the fact that those on the frontlines of running it and defending it have to become willfully indifferent to reality, and almost kind of blithely agnostic on the question of knowledge, in order to do their jobs for an organization which claims to be the \"realest\" of real things in the universe, and about which we can gain absolute knowledge. It is like the GAs and apologists have to cloud things in order to keep believing they see clearly. And it almost seems too, that they have to cease caring about the very things they claim to care most about, in order to do their job.\nReading some of those Hugh Nibley things...you start to get that terrible feeling that in some profound way, defending Mormonism was something of a game for him. Ah, the parry and thrust were great fun, weren't they? Stalling for time while we try to think of some way of getting out of the Book of Abraham problem...ha ha ha! And you read the Bushman stuff...who can REALLY believe, after reading his material, that HE really believes that he \"knows beyond a shadow of a doubt\" that Joseph Smith LITERALLY hung around with a back-from-the-dead John the Baptist? The guy sounds like he's in outer space...\"the Mormon god is the only one I was really interested in...ha ha...it was my heritage...I find it *fascinating*!...Joseph, a prophet like Mohammed and David Koresh...\", etc. (By the way, how screwed up is it to have these po-mo dweebs defending a fundamentalist religious cult?)\nWhat an idiot I was. I really believed it. I really believed that I \"knew\" that Mormonism was all it claimed to be. I never imagined it might have anything to do with my own psyche. I never imagined I would find out that its most prominent defenders would reveal themselves to be the weakest of deluded sops, so weak, so broken, so *insane*, that not even a series of signed confessions of fraud by Joseph Smith could cause them to admit their own error (after all, what does \"error\" really mean in the haze of a world they live in?). Papyrus scrolls? No problem - just redefine the word \"translation\". No genetic or other links between Israel and Native Americans? No problem - invent a second Cumorah, ignore the statements of every Mormon prophet on this issue, creatively \"re-interpret\" post hoc the text of the BOM itself and convince yourself that was the \"real\" interpretation the whole time. Erroneous prophecies and teachings? No problem - by the fact you now see the error, you know that that prophet at that moment wasn't speaking as a prophet at all!\nI got up once in testimony meeting about ten years ago, in the White Rock, BC ward, and one of the things I said was, \"When you think about it, we either really have received pure knowledge from God himself that Mormonism is the only true religion, or...we are all insane!\". I thought it would elicit chuckles, since at the time, the latter option was so \"ridiculous\", or so I thought. Instead, an uncomfortable silence settled over the congregation...and I wonder now, across how many minds there had that thought passed, with the latter option bearing the unnerving hue of at least *possibility*?\nI feel like I was insane, my friends. I feel like for most of my life, I existed in a state of altered consciousness. I literally felt, upon realizing things, that I was awakening from a kind of trance; and almost everyone else I talk to, who was a devout believer, says the same thing. It is literally like I instantly had access to parts of my mind, my consciousness, that I'd never even known existed before...like I had been almost drugged or something before, and had figured out I was, and had managed in that clouded state, to somehow pull the IV out, and now blurriness was being replaced by clarity, and I could see things I'd never seen before...\nHow else could I have ignored all the logical impossibilities, all the disconfirming evidences, all the indications just through the normal course of church activity that there was something wrong? There was something wrong with my head...Heck, what else did \"put it on the shelf\" really mean, except \"make yourself unconscious of what you are now conscious of\"? I was stuck on some quest, the goal of which, seemed to increasingly restrict my consciousness to the point where it was operating just enough to be able to recognize commands from my church controllers, understand them, and then obey them, the end. That, after all, is the climax and culmination of life in a cult. What a waste.\nThat insanity gripped us, preying off of our emotional and psychic needs...But thank God, now we are free. I know coming out of that state is hard, and our relationships are rocked...but life can be so profound and incredible now...how could anyone really want to go back to *not knowing*, back to that smug, somnolent state? Isn't every struggle worth it, just to fully BE? Just so our children never have to go through it?\nThere is no chance to be all we can be in such a state. There is no chance to feel all we can feel, to think all we can think, to achieve all we can achieve, in it. There is no chance to feel truly whole there, even though while we are in it, we are convinced that just the opposite is true. But of course, everything is backwards in that poor mental state. Delusion is just like that.\nI don't want to be insane anymore. I want to be *whole*, and experience *real* peace, and *real* joy, and *real* friendship, and *real* love, and I am starting to for the first time, and it is wonderful...Life now, for the first time, can be everything it can be. For the first time, I am not burdened by the consequences of being entirely given over to a fraudulent, mind-control loyalty cult anymore...I am not trapped in an endless maze, trying to find and experience all the good life has to offer, while in the throes of a terrible delusion which makes that impossible, traveling forever in circles...\nI never would have imagined, as a Mormon, that the greatest spiritual experience of my life, would be to find out that the thing most dear to me in life, my religion, was a fraud. But that's the way it is, and for all the hard times over the past two years, I am really grateful I found out.\nI just wanted to get this off my chest, thanks for listening.\nFriday, Sep 8, 2006, at 07:36 AM\nIntense mental conditioning can do really weird things to people.\nYou grow up having everyone you trust most in the world telling you that the world is *just like this*, and you would no sooner doubt them, than you would doubt that the spoonful of dark syrup your mommy gave you when you were sick was medicine. Why would it ever cross your mind it might just be coal tar? It never would.\nAnd so, you grow up inside of a fraudulent cult which you never see as such...you might see things that don't quite feel right to you, but most of us think that means there was something wrong with US for even thinking that. But there are others who trust themselves just enough to think, \"this or that isn't quite right\", and then, talk about it in public. And when cult members do that, their cult kicks them out. Those are the rules in a cult: anything that threatens the cult, by threatening to enliven long-dormant rational faculties, the desuetude of which the cult depends on for survival, must be ejected or annilihated.\nWhat is rather pitiful, is that often, those who say such things have NO desire to leave the cult; they have NO idea that the cult might might constitute one massive fraud; they seem to have NO idea what the reaction of their cult to their opinions really indicates; and often, they spend months, years, trying to re-gain their standing in the church, or trying to \"reform the system\", or pining quietly, now as members trying to work toward re-baptism, over their status as victims of \"ecclesiastical abuse\", or giving speeches at Sunstone about how \"complicated\" these situations are, etc.\nI say this is pathetic, because all of these types of reactions *continue to grant some kind of legitimacy to cult leaders*, when in fact, they have NO LEGITIMACY AT ALL. Lavina Fielding Anderson, by all accounts a very charming, smart, and sincere woman, reportedly still attends church every Sunday. Fancy that: she still attends church - just in silence, since she is excommunicated. Avraham Gileadi couldn't wait to get dunked again. Paul Toscano, if you'll pardon me, seems to be in outer space or something, manufacturing ideas like that *even within a loyalty cult, dissent is sacred*. No it isn't - it never was, it never will be, it never *could* be.\nMaxine Hanks wrote a book called \"Women and Authority: Re-emerging Mormon Feminism\". When will she publish her follow-up: \"Three Foot Midgets in the NBA: The Coming Tidal Wave\"? We're talking about a cult, the founder of which was debauching FOURTEEN YEAR OLD GIRLS for fun, who - without too much exaggeration - nailed almost every young girl who passed through the Mansion House, and who seemed to view the original Relief Society mainly as a pool from which he could recruit women (married or not) for his secret harem. And Brigham Young...! The guy living there with forty plus women in a house, treating him as a man/god! And Maxine Hanks, a \"feminist\", was still working WITHIN this organization? A \"feminist\", but *still* granting the most baldly phallic of American cults, some kind of legitimacy?! The tragedy is, for all the talk about \"empowerment\", she's no different, at root, than one of the polygamist cult wives I've seen on TV lately, who complain about the way things are done between her husband and her sixteen sister wives - but across whose mind, the thought has never passed that the entire system is totally illegitimate. It turns out, Maxine, the fake feminist, like the complaining polygamist wife, didn't really want to go a day without a phallic crutch after all.\nSomething similar was the case with Lynne Whitesides. She was interested in developing a \"feminist conception of God\". A \"feminist version\" of a male god married to thousands of wives, all of whom he refuses to make anything other than totally invisible and nameless? Is that like developing a capitalist version of communism? A black version of white? A gold version of mud? Does she believe in magic or alchemy or something? Why is she working from *within* a cult (by that act granting it a legitimacy which it doesn't have), which has no greater claim to insight about the heavens, than the Moonies or a UFO cult? It's madness.\nMichael Quinn likewise seems to have been mentally twisted up by this thing, for all the good historical work he's done. He's like a ghostly prosecutor, destined to keep finding and then laying out before a jury all the evidence establishing that the accused is perfectly guilty as charged, but who remains incapable of admitting to himself, what he himself compulsively keeps proving to everyone else...and then, the ghostly prosecutor retreats to finds MORE evidence, lays it out again...forever, in a totally weird cycle, all the while tearfully proclaiming his devout belief in the accused's innocence. My friends, that is really screwed up. Do you realize that Michael Quinn is still affirming as TRUE, all the same insane bullshit as the guys at FARMS are?\nEvery year, self-styled Mormon intellectuals get together for drama queen hand-wringing and auto-mind-game-playing at various symposia, detailing everything they think is \"wrong\" or \"unfair\" or \"problematic\" about Joseph Smith's church - the one many of them still wish to retain some affiliation with. I talk with some of these people on the phone sometimes, and everytime, I end up exasperated. With one guy I finally blurted, \"(David), do you realize that the church is a total fraud, and that Joseph Smith invented his stories? Do you realize that? DO YOU REALIZE IT IS NOT WHAT IT CLAIMS?\", and do you know, it was almost like the guy had never even thought of that possibility before.\nLet's cut the bullshit:\nThe leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, without any exaggeration at all, claim sovereignty over every last aspect of human action, human emotion, human experience, human aesthetic sense, human dietary choice, human worship, human social arrangement, human yearning, human achievement, human sexuality, human wardrobe, human underclothing, human entertainment options, human obedience, human progress, and HUMAN CONSCIENCE.\nDo you know what that means? It means, for all intents and purposes, they claim to be YOUR GODS.\nThere is no way around this. They will not put it in these terms, but that they won't takes nothing away from the fact, that they claim - for real - ALL THE AUTHORITY that any imaginary god anywhere was ever imagined to claim.\nAnd this claim of total sovereignty over everything you are, over the entire human race, has NO legitimate basis whatsoever. That Dallin Oaks won't admit that doesn't make it not so. The fact is, because Smith did not have the experiences he claimed to have, his church and its leaders have NO legitimacy whatsoever, and NO reason to be granted anything other than a middle finger; and dissidents like the September Six, and all the other hundreds like them, in a tragic way, make themselves into objects of pity rather than objects of admiration, by continuing to (self-abasingly, by the way) grant legitimacy to an entirely illegitimate organization, in the very act of finding fault with it. They perform the equivalent of a Klansman speaking out against the KKK's Grand Wizard succession protocol.\nI hope the next September Six don't provide the world the spectacle of six perfectly intelligent people, so wrapped up in a fraudulent cult, that they cannot see its forests of irredeemable illegitimacy for its trees of mere irritations, being kicked out amidst their begging to be kept in. I hope the next September Six are in fact six hundred, or six thousand, who make a protest infinitely more appropriate: telling Mormon would-be man/gods to go (deleted) - to take a hike, because their cult is fraudulent, they have no divine right to direct anybody on this planet, and that underneath all the neatly pressed suits and friendly smiles and humourous General Conference anecdotes, they embody the attempted legitimization of many of mankind's most repulsive impulses.\n(Man, this one was serious lol).\nAnd now I can forget about the September Six for another year.\nOn any given day, of any given week, members of the Mormon church solicit advice from a man they believe is privileged to be able to access the mind of God on their behalf, and reveal it to them.\nWhat if he doesn't have any more access to divine inspiration, than any other person on this planet? What then?\n(This question might seem hypothetical to member lurkers. Unfortunately, it is not, for I have just stated a fact: Mormon bishops manifestly have no greater access to divine inspiration, than does any other group of human beings on this planet, yet members often trust their advice as if they did, on the most important issues in their lives).\nSo, what is the answer to the original question? It's this: you've got the potential (and far too often, the reality) of a lot of trouble.\nCan you imagine having a terrible medical problem, but instead of entrusting your care to a medical specialist, you entrust it wholly to an accountant, or shoe saleseman, or computer programmer, who has not had *one minute* of serious medical training in his entire life? This is the equivalent of what happens everyday in the Mormon church - sincere Mormons, whose marriages might be breaking up, or who are trying to control an abuse problem, or recover from a terrible loss or a mid-life crisis, or deal with a sexual issue, or figure out who to marry, open themselves up to a bishop, and all too often, follow his advice as though it were a communication from the Almighty Himself. (Why wouldn't they, believing him to have a special calling, with special powers of discernment and receiving revelation?).\nI'd like to know (on second thought, maybe I wouldn't), just how many lives have been further screwed up, rather than made better, because some sincere church member believed a bishop, who claimed to \"feel prompted (by the 'spirit')\" when offering what was only *opinion*, and therefore followed it as though the advice had come just from God. How many? One? One hundred? One thousand? Ten thousand? One hundred thousand? How many things have been recommended in bishop's blessings that people followed, believing them to have been dictated by an omniscient mind through \"the spirit\", that were either useless (\"your marital problems will subside as you read your scriptures more often\") or exacerbated existing problems? And yet, the church, to my knowledge, has NEVER ONCE initiated any kind of serious pastoral training for new bishops in how to listen, how to help, how to understand, how to communicate about, various crises. (When you go to stake leadership training, in my experience, most of the \"training\" focuses on purely administrative stuff).\nNot that considering the advice of someone lacking formal qualifications is bad. I've had lots of great advice from just normal buddies. What makes the Mormon situation especially dicey, however, is that when John seeks advice from the bishop, it isn't like John asking advice from Bud, his next door neighbour; John exists in a completely authoritarian world; and that he grants to his ecclesiastical superiors the authority he does, means that he has *already subscribed to all sorts of propositions*, which subscription unavoidably dulls John's ability to evaluate the bishop's advice critically - that is, as a peer would. There is nothing \"peer\" about this. In the Mormon case, John views the bishop as an AUTHORITY over him, specifically placed there by *God himself*. How \"critically\" then will he feel comfortable evaluating the words HIS AUTHORITY - the bishop - claims were given to him \"by the spirit\"?\nSo John, full of the most sincere faith, after having prayed and fasted to prepare himself to \"receive counsel\", spills his guts to the bishop...and then the bishop closes his eyes for a few moments...and then, leaning back, says, \"John, I feel prompted by the spirit to tell you this: That if you do X, you will no longer have to worry about Y\".\nIn light of all I mentioned above, why would John *ever* seriously question what the bishop has just said? Who is *he* to \"question the spirit\"? How unfaithful - how ungrateful. So John trusts. John strictly obeys.\nYet in a normal (non-Mormon) setting, John would ponder the advice of his counselor, ask clarifying questions, ask for the counselor's reasoning, and maybe try things out to see how they work. If after some time he found that Dr. Bradley's advice wasn't really speaking to him, he wouldn't think twice about finding a new counselor. Not so with the cult version of John. He would never think of going to the bishop of the next ward over. Devout John, with a prayer of gratitude in his heart, will strictly obey.\nAnd what's really sick is, that if John obeys the advice, and things don't work out, John will most likely blame himself for doing something wrong somewhere along the line. Or, he will feel that the damage which ensued as a result of uncritically and strictly following the bishop's advice, was \"part of God's plan\" (just by virtue of it having happened after he followed such \"inspired\" advice). But either way, John, in that cult-induced mental state, will never really learn his lesson: that Mormon bishops have no greater access to divine inspiration than anyone else, and all he really heard was one guy's opinion.\nMeanwhile, Hank Bradley, a.k.a. \"the father of the ward\", his vanity convincing him that he really is something of an oracle now, is continuing to dish out mere opinions (and often grossly uninformed opinions at that) disguised as communications from the omniscient mind of God, to suicidal teens, struggling spouses, anger management types, sexually curious adolescent females, and people in all kinds of other situations. And most of these people are following it like Hank, the car salesman, was a GOD. When you think about it, this is nuts. Would ANY of these people have sought out Hank's advice if he hadn't been installed as their \"authority\"? Would any of them ever dreamed of strictly obeying the same man's opinions, if he wasn't even a member? Not at all. Yet, because he's got a particular Mormon calling, the man is granted virtually god-like powers by cult members.\nAnyway, all I started out to say (before I started rambling), was, if the church is going to keep trying to maintain the fiction that bishops are rather like local oracles with a unique pipeline to deity, why not at least give them a weekend of pastoral counseling upon calling them, so they do less damage than they already do? Everyone on here knows it - there is NO END to the nonsense you can hear from a Mormon bishop, especially once those office doors close. Even the cult-nymphos at FARMS reading this know that's true.\nProgress comes slowly in the authoritarian cult that is Mormonism. It was only in the late seventies that its prophets and apostles stopped claiming that converting to Mormonism removed pigment from the skin of Native Americans, and stopped claiming that blacks were an inferior race. It wasn't even that long ago that one of its apostles was recommending that if your gay missionary companion propositioned you, that you should \"protect yourself\" by physically attacking him.\nBut after 175 years, isn't it time that the Mormon church took *some* effort to better meet the needs of its members, by - I know it's shocking - actually providing serious pastoral counseling to its bishops? Other churches believe their pastors can receive inspiration, but, presumably because they are concerned about the needs of their members, they still train their pastors. Maybe it's time for Mormon leaders to show that they are more concerned about the welfare of rank and file members than just about \"keeping this thing going\", by doing the same.\nI think one thing a miracle is, is an occurence not ordinary, which is told of, and then re-told of, and then re-told of, over time, until a highly exaggerated version of it is reported as fact. Here's one quick story about a \"miracle\" I performed (not).\nToward the latter part of my mission in Argentina, I was the Zone Leader of a newly created zone headquartered in a city called Rocque Saenz Paena. Within our large zone there were a lot of native peoples. Most of them belonged to the Toba tribe.\nLong story short is, I ended up spending a lot of time finding, teaching, and baptizing members of the Toba Indian tribe (this was back before George Orwell's Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints wasn't trying to pretend it had never been church doctrine that America's indigenous peoples were descendants of BOM peoples). Along the way, I made an effort to learn some Toba language, writing down, phonetically, words and phrases in my little book. It didn't take long before I could greet people, ask what their names were, how many children they had, etc. The Indians seemed to have a pretty basic sense of humour, so I also learned a \"joke\" that never failed to leave them howling with laughter: I learned how to say \"my companion has the face of a monkey\". (Why this should have been hilarious I'm not really sure - maybe it's for the same reason Moe dropping a brick on Curly's head was supposed to be funny, I don't know).\nAnyway, we end up baptizing, literally, hundreds of Toba Indians and forming them into branches. Then I leave the mission field. One day, a year after I'd gotten home, I find my little notebook, and in it is the number of the house where I'd stayed in Rocque Saenz Paena. So, I dial it - and miracle of miracles, I get through, and not only do I get through, but one of the missionaries stationed there answers it!\nSo I ask about people I knew and we chat. The elder asks me what my name is, but it doesn't register at all with him. We chat for like ten minutes or something, during which time I ask about a few of the Tobas I knew. Then, there's a pause, and the missionary says, \"Wait a minute - are you ELDER BACHMAN?\". I say, \"Yeah...?\" \"The Elder Bachman guy who baptized all the Indians?\". I say, \"yeah\", and then, to my surprise (and I admit, guilty pleasure) this guys goes (without exaggeration:\n\"DUDE - Dude - I mean, Dude - Dude - everywhere we go, all these Indians are always TALKING about you, man! Dude, I can't believe it!\" (I hear him say to his comp, \"Dude, this is the Elder Bachman guy, on the phone!\"). He comes back and says, \"DUDE, I can't believe this! We've heard ALL ABOUT how you totally learned Toba! Everyday we hear stories about you, about how you were, like, RAPPIN' with all the Indians and everything 'cos you were like totally fluent! Dude, that is AMAZING!!!\".\nSo, I'm kind of caught off guard - all I'd ever learned was like five or six phrases, one sentence about a \"monkey-face\", and a few vocabulary words, like, nothing you couldn't learn in a fifteen minutes, if that. Now I'm on the phone with a guy who's telling me that he's heard \"all about\" how I became fluent in the Toba Indian language - I'd been given \"the gift of tongues\" to be able to become fluent in so short a time, etc.\nSo, within twelve months, I went from in reality learning a handful of phrases, to reputedly having become totally fluent. Can you imagine what version of the story I'd have heard, if forty years had gone by? (Forty years is about the time between the death of Jesus, and the beginning of the writing of the four gospels).\nLast thing - a couple of weeks ago I told the story of \"donating to\" a game warden in South Africa to let me go in to pet the tigers. How many months, or years, would it take, for that event to turn into \"Daniel in the Lion's Den\"? (Here's a photo for all the geniuses at FARMS who think I make all my stories up and anyone else who's interested:\nhttp://pic16.picturetrail.com/VOL678/3529167/12324162/191075739.jpg\nI would like to believe that miracles happen, but my experiences leave me doubtful.\nHow many times have you heard the children of Mormon men with leadership callings say they rarely saw their father growing up, since they were \"always at meetings\"?\nFor me, way too many. The truth is, the feel-good Mormon slogan, \"no success can compensate for failure in the home\", is (like so many Mormon statements) grossly incomplete: it should be, \"various kinds of success can, in our eyes, compensate for failure in the home, chiefly of which is, success in remaining absent several hundreds of hours each year from your wife and children because you're in church meetings\". (I know that's not quite as punchy as the original, but it seems more accurate).\nI got a heartrending email a couple of years ago (right after I started posting here) from a young mother in England. Her young husband was, if I remember right, the branch president. She was pregnant, but was experiencing severe medical problems. She said her doctor told her to stay in bed and not move; but that was impossible, she said, because her husband in the evenings was often performing church service or in meetings. When she told her husband she needed help, he said that he'd been promised that if he faithfully performed his calling, the Lord would bless them both, so it was really best for both of them if he kept on as he had been. She said she'd almost died from bleeding a couple of times as a result of this. (She was writing to me because, while researching an RS lesson, she'd found a bunch of information about Joseph's sexcapades which upset her, which prompted her to do more research, and...well, you know it goes). I replied, but never heard back, and then hotmail erased all my saved messages because I didn't use the account for a while - so if you're out there, email me.\nIf Joseph Smith's church really was all it claimed to be, I suppose it wouldn't much matter how many of its devout members died or suffered for it; presumably, they'd all be rewarded in heaven anyway - dying for the cause, after all, always was a Christian duty, even privilege. But unless all six billion non-Mormons on this planet are in the throes of an horrific hallucination, which causes them to mistake everything true for everything false, and vice versa, it can safely be said that, whatever it is, Mormonism isn't what it claims to be; and this puts the damage - emotional, physical, spiritual, whatever - caused by Mormon demands in a different light, doesn't it? For if Mormonism is a fraud, what is really the case, is that *the most important things in life are being sacrificed for something which does not merit it at all*. That is a real tragedy.\nOne young father who I hometaught for years resisted all my attempts at re-activating him. One of his reasons was, he valued spending time with his daughters too much, believing they needed that special time together as a family. He further often mentioned he never saw his dad growing up, as his father was always in high callings. He said he didn't want to be that kind of father to his own daughters. Today, he has practically no relationship with his still devout father, who, I must say, still seems entirely oblivious to the possibility that his children were in some ways disadvantaged by not having a close, emotional relationship with him. After discovering, thanks to my wife, that their intuitions about the church were corroborated by the fact that Joseph Smith invented his stories (something they were unsure about before), they have now severed all ties to Mormonism, and from what I hear, are doing better than ever.\nOne of my close relatives says the same thing: he never saw his dad growing up, because he was always at the ward building or doing some other church task. Even now, he says, his dad is always running around to one meeting or another (he's in the SP), and even when he is physically present, always seems mentally somewhere else. They also have no close emotional relationship, and again, the dad (to my certain knowledge) seems totally oblivious to the opportunities missed. After all, \"it's all for the afterlife, isn't it?\".\nBack to the slogan I tried to make more accurate above, my emendation is certainly corroborated by the church's treatment of one absent Mormon father - the one named Gordon B. Hinckley. Here is a summation of his fathering style, by the man himself:\n\"When our children were growing up, I was away much of the time on Church assignments. In the early days, when I had responsibility for the work in Asia, which I had for a long time, I would be gone for as long as two months at a time. We couldn\u2019t telephone back and forth all the time in those days. She took care of everything. She ran the home. She ran everything and took care of the children.\"\nOne poster on here last year also posted claiming to be friendly with one of Hinckley's sons, who (supposedly) told the poster in private that he'd always regretted never really getting to know his dad, since he was always gone for the church. Cult loons might call that hearsay - of course it is; the problem is, it has just been corroborated by Hinckley himself. (See the Oct. 2003 Ensign, \"At Home with the Hinckleys\").\nThe truth is, that Mormonism is pro-family whenever being \"pro-family\" contributes to the cult. When it doesn't, family ties, family duties, familial love and intimacy, must be sacrificed. Family doesn't come first - cult does. What else could be the meaning of the perfectly explicit temple consecration vow? Mormon leaders are merely living up to their word when they hold members to their vow to put the church above anything else, including the welfare of those they've brought into the world.\nStrange - the church publishes an edition of the BOM and gives it away for free to anyone who wants one, but then contracts with Doubleday (a couple of years ago) to do a new edition, to be published concurrently, but sold for upwards of twenty dollars. Not sure what they were expecting...\nBut what they've gotten was all too predictable for a number of reasons: the Doubleday BOM, at least on Amazon, has not done well. The 1981 church edition, currently sold on Amazon by used book sellers, is about 135 THOUSAND places AHEAD of the Doubleday; the Doubleday's Amazon sales ranking is 245,394. This means that there are one quarter of a million books selling more copies than this latest edition of \"the most correct book on earth\", and, according to at least one FARMS book reviewer, a veritable \"literary masterpiece\". Hmmm...the world must really \"lieth in sin\"...! What other explanation could there be, but that everyone is evil?\nTo put the Doubleday BOM's meagre sales in perspective, here are the sales rankings of books with (if the world can be believed) far stronger claims to the title of \"literary masterpiece\" than Joseph's book:\nThe Penguin (Pevear translation) edition of \"Anna Karenina\": Ranking Number 1,490.\nThe Bantam \"Pride and Prejudice: Number 736\nThe Penguin \"Of Mice and Men\": Number 754\nThe Scribner \"Great Gatsby\": Number 662\nThe Penguin \"Grapes of Wrath\": Number 1,151\nIt may be argued that the BOM is a *religious* literary masterpiece, and so should not be compared with secular literary masterpieces. So here are a few rankings of religious books:\nThe Penguin Koran: 7,153\nThe Penguin Bhagavad-Gita: 13,537\nThe Nilgiri Upanishads: 6,243\nThe Vintage Tao Te Ching: 1,718\nThe Zondervan NIV Study Bible: 4,263\nPerhaps it may be argued these books had a real head start on the BOM, so this comparison is not fair either. So, here are a few rankings of newer religious books:\nDianetics: 7,799\nA Course in Miracles: 3,047\nPope John Paul: In My Own Words: 12,080\nThe Urantia Book: 9,079\nBeing in 245 thousandth place, as the Doubleday BOM is, means you aren't selling many books. The average will be less than one book sale per week. By contrast, just one version of the Tao Te Ching will sell over ten times as many every single day. (See http://www.rampant-books.com/mgt_amaz...). Even the whacked out Urantia Book will sell around two dozen copies a week. This is most likely not far from the total *annual* sales of the Doubleday version of the Book of Mormon.\nThe whole Doubleday exercise in apparent futility smacks of classic Hinckley - the vain hope that mere re-packaging can produce alchemical changes - in this case, that re-packaging the BOM can transform it from a poorly written, justifiably ignored attempt at scripture, into a well written, popular one; or perhaps even, turning a fraudulent book into a true one. But the world just doesn't work that way.\nFood for thought for member lurkers: would you really be any different than the millions of others who find the BOM to be far from a \"literary masterpiece\", and in fact, not very spiritually moving at all at least compared to other religious works, had you not been indoctrinated nearly from birth to believe otherwise? If you'd never heard of Mormonism and were just living your life, do you REALLY think you could read the BOM and regard it as anything but unusually tedious? The truth is, the general indifference of *members themselves* to oft-repeated commands to read the BOM, is all the testimony you really need, that whatever else it is, the BOM is not only a chore to read for most folks, but certainly lacks the spiritual power so often hyperbolically claimed for it by GAs, who probably read it as infrequently as do most members.\nTruth is, it's just not that good, and certainly (as BH Roberts concluded) within the capability of a 23 year old Joseph Smith to produce.\nUnless the church is subsidizing the Doubleday printing, don't expect it to stay in print for long.\nA couple of days ago, I posted musing that Packer might be a lot better for the church than either Hinckley or Monson. This last GC talk of his suggests to me I might be right.\nhttp://www.lds.org/conference/talk/di...\nIn it, Packer leaves the impression that the facts of LDS history are as ridiculous as anti-Mormon folktales (like that Mormons have horns) warning people to disregard both (???), deftly places Mormonism on the high road in the religious dogma wars, despite JS's First Vision quoting Jesus as stating that every other creed on earth was an \"abomination\", and so abominable that attending NO church is preferable to attending one of those currently in existence; paints moral choices as black and white, associating white with Mormonism, and everything else with Satan; insinuates that everyone deep down already knows the difference between good and evil, rather a veiled way of insinuating that everyone (simply exposed to it) deep down could tell that Mormonism is the only true religion in the world; once again uses stark martial imagery to describe the situation of Mormons vis-a-vis a corrupt world; and all in all, gives a talk which sounds very unlike any that you might hear in a normal church, and indeed, unlike most you hear even in a Mormon General Conferences.\nCertainly, compared to the Monson talk, which included (yawn) an anecdote about Canadian highways, a story about some girl dying of cancer, a neat slogan seen on the front of a dry cleaning shop, and some doggerel picked up from a speaker's handbook of quotes, Packer's was positively a barn burner. There is always a dash (or bucketful) of the Taleban in Pres. Packer's talks, and yes, I think numbers-wise, the church will benefit from that. Here's why.\nThe brute sociological fact is that churches tend to dwindle without strong male allegiance and participation. And men tend to render allegiance to churches which are strict doctrinally, which require a high level of sacrifice, and are institutionally patriarchal. It's working for Islam, it's working for fundamentalist Christian churches, and I suppose, it will revitalize Mormonism if Mormonism re-emphasizes these features. (See the book \"The Church Impotent\" for just one recent examination of this phenomenon). What is interesting is that Packer seems to understand this; he alludes to the attraction of the hardcore in his last GC talk.\nHere are just a few articles discussing the outflow of males from Western churches:\nhttp://vision.org/visionmedia/article...\nhttp://www.churchformen.com/allmen.ph...\nhttp://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/...\nhttp://www.umc.org/site/c.gjJTJbMUIuE...\nThe more uncompromising a religion is, the stricter, the more it conceives of itself as \"warring\" against something or other, the more patriarchal, the more scornful it is of outsiders, the more males like it and flock to it, the more women follow, and then the more it thrives. Packer, the dogmatic, ignorant-sounding, chauvinist, might be just what the church needs to recover from the withering touch of Hinckley and his PR friends.\nMaybe those of us who dislike lies, or who think the human race is better off without anachronistic, authoritarian loyalty cults like Mormonism, perhaps should start hoping for Hinckley and Monson to live a long time...\nChurch members enjoy quoting D and C 93's phrase, \"the glory of God is intelligence\". Yet, literally, any single line of inquiry put to any church member, including church propagandists at FARMS, only ever culminates in an admission of total ignorance.\n\"We don't have all the answers now, but one day we will. Until then, we just need to put these things on the shelf\".\n\"We have no way of fully or finally verifying what, if anything, Joseph meant when he referred to Native Americans as 'Lamanites'\".\n\"We don't really know how to explain why there is no evidence there was a universal flood\".\n\"The jury's still out on this issue\".\n\"We don't know why William Clayton would have written such a thing in his diary, or why it was even put into the Official History of the Church\".\n\"We don't know why black were denied the priesthood\".\n\"We don't really know who first populated the Americas, where Cumorah was, where the Three Nephites might live, why there are million year old fossils all over the place including human skeletons, how God could punish Eve for committing an act he'd forced her to commit, why Joseph calls God the Father 'Jehovah' in Section 109, how anyone could 'feel' darkness, why Brigham Young said what he did about Adam, etc.\"\n\"We cannot finally determine the exact relationship between the Book of Abraham and the papyrus scrolls; (we do know, however, that the spirit testifies that the Book of Abraham is true)\".\n\"I don't know that we teach that. I don't know too much about it\".\nOf course, in Mormonism, these admissions of ignorance are actually a source of great pride; in that state, being able to look at a mountain of facts which explodes a particular truth claim, and then still maintain belief in that truth claim by making yourself stupid about it, means to the believer that he is \"humble\", and that he has \"faith\", and that he isn't \"swayed by every wind of doctrine\", that he will \"trust the spirit\" rather than evidence that not even church propagandists would dare dispute.\nBut all it really means, is that he's made a mistake: for, as he would know if he had not uncritically pre-committed himself to dogma, the Book of Abraham is the result of human ingenuity, not divinely-conferred powers of spontaneous translation; the scriptures are wrong about a universal flood; the human family is not all descended from two people in Missouri just five millenia ago, etc. If it is really, as Mormons would have it, a virtue to disbelieve all those things, then so would it also be a virtue to disbelieve that men have scaled Everest, that penicillin fights off infection, and that overeating causes obesity. But how could disbelieving in true things, or believing in false things, ever really be a VICE, especially if God is All-Intelligent and All-Knowing?\nFor it to be a virtue to disbelieve true things, would mean that virtue equalled the ignorance always inspired by the uncritical acceptance of dogma - and that in turn would mean that within Mormonism, in practice, the glory of God is actually a defiant UNintelligence. Not that Mormons are the only ones to pride themselves on subscribing to an ideal, which they also pride themselves on routinely violating in practice. As Bob McCue noted at the conference, fanatics never do have a sense of irony.\nThe pride Mormons take in defiant unintelligence can be most easily observed on apologetic bulletin boards. There, one can find no end of proud protestations of faithful ignorance. One can even find scorn and disdain for those who feel that willful unintelligence is rather more like a vice than a virtue. Of course, they (like all Christian apologists) do have St. Paul, who always had sharp words for the wisdom of the world, on their side - and we all know how reliable he was. He was so reliable, that not even the supposed one true church does anything but cherry-pick among his many exhortations and explanations, since most of them strike even the most deluded now as embarrassing. That is, in the very act of feeling good that St. Paul is on their side, they themselves destroy any credibility he might be given, by IGNORING so much of what the man says.\nIt is perfectly true that many conclusions about the world derived from procedures like testing must be presumed to be incomplete or defective; and yet, these kinds of conclusions are the most reliable we have. Even Mormon propagandists and leaders concede this in deed, since they continue to re-shape \"official church doctrine\" in conformity with just those conclusions. To believe otherwise, is to believe that EVEN IF many thousands of swords, skeletons, and shields had been found in Joseph's NY Hill Cumorah, that church propagandists would STILL be spinning out such ad hoc absurdities as the Two Cumorahs Theory. Or, that EVEN IF all 6500 of Scott Woodwards Peruvian DNA tests had come up positive for Israelite ancestry, that he and church propagandists would STILL be saying that \"no one ever should have thought the Native Americans descended from BOM peoples\". But of course, they would not have said these things at all; rather, they would have been doing cartwheels if the evidence pointed to original Mormon doctrine being true, and claiming victory. Instead, they keep claiming the battle is not over yet, even though it ended, in truth's favour, the very first time the church changed its doctrine in response to physical evidence. The truth is, the battle has been over for a very long time, whether we wish to admit it or not.\nTo repeat, not even those so defiantly proud of their ignorance, can help (albeit kicking and screaming) following the evidence where it leads. It is just that such folks are far more able, in the very act of following the evidence where it leads, convince themselves they are NOT doing just that. This allows them to still feel pride in trusting the spirit more than the arm of flesh, in the very act that they defer to the arm of flesh over whatever it is they think the spirit is. Cool how that works - it must feel wonderful to feel absolutely right, despite that being an impossibility for anyone who's become a walking, talking paradox.\nOnce upon a time, Mormons had \"knowledge\": \"the Indians are the descendants of the Lamanites\"; \"Adam and Eve were the primal parents of the human race\" (according to an official First Presidency statement under Joseph F. Smith); \"Joseph Smith translated the papyrus scrolls\"; \"As man is, God once was\", etc. Now, on each of these questions, and dozens of others, there is only a proclaimed (and that proudly) ignorance. The sad fact is, that our Mormon friends belong to a church which, at the moment, doesn't even have an official position on who the descendants of the peoples mentioned in its FOUNDING BOOK OF SCRIPTURE are - the very people which the book claims it was written to help \"re-gather\"! How embarrassing is *that*?\nIs there ANY religion so anxious to embrace ignorance as a defense strategy, as is Mormonism? The answer to every follow-up question (the one after the initial offering of a thought-terminating cliche) is only ever, \"I don't know\". And are there any religionists anywhere who exceed Mormons in the amount of pride they feel in unknowing everything they once knew? It is shocking.\nThe Mormon Holy Ghost was supposed to be a revealer of \"all things\", but it seems to spend all its time obscuring everything...\nHMMMMM....!\nOrson Scott Card: Dummy? I don't think so.\nOf course, I've never met OSC, or read any of his novels. But in my experience, cognitively-impaired people (musicians, actors, and athletes perhaps being exceptions) rarely achieve the professional success Brother Card has.\nBut that said, it is certainly possible that Orson, like any other human, can sometimes make very unwarranted conclusions, but believe in them just as devoutly as if they were warranted. Here is one such conclusion, and it is the same one made in essence by many thousands of believers in untrue things, Mormon or not. Speaking of his acquaintance Hugh Nibley, Card said that as a young man, he thought to himself:\n\"If someone this smart, this rigorous of thought, this widely and deeply educated, believes that Joseph Smith was a prophet, the Book of Mormon is true, and the Church is God\u2019s kingdom on earth, then I will not let myself get swept away by whatever questions come up during my life. I\u2019ll question my questions, I\u2019ll doubt my doubts, confident that one way or another, everything will be reconciled.\" http://www.meridianmagazine.com/peopl...\nThis is one of those kinds of statements I referred to in my \"Church of JC of Total Ignorance\" post the other day: it expresses not just an appalling mental error, but *pride* in the \"humility\" it takes to make such an appalling mental error. The truth is, far from being rather *proud* of having made such a conclusion, Card (like the rest of us at one time) ought to be positively *mortified* to have made it. And if the all-too-predictable residual effects of this mental error were not so powerful as to still blind Bro. Card, he could even now see it for what it was. I'm not counting on it, though. Once you drop the hammer on a giant bell, it rings for a very, very long time, and while it is still ringing, you can't hear anything else, even if it was a mistake to ring it in the first place.\nHere is Card's argument, as I see it:\nP1.) People who are smarter and more educated than I, make better judgments than I;\nP2.) Hugh Nibley is smarter and more educated than I;\nP3.) Hugh Nibley judges that Mormonism is everything it claims to be;\nC1.) I therefore am justified in concluding that Mormonism is all it claims to be.\nSuperficially, this might make a lot of sense, but only superficially. It is a real pity that so many members of the church, even now, make pretty much the same argument to themselves. For them, as someone mentioned on a thread the other day, the mere presence of a Hugh Nibley book on a shelf is a real aid to remain in the psychological state we once believed was \"the possession of a testimony\".\nHere are a few reasons why the Card argument fails as a rationale for Mormon faith.\nGranting for the moment universal validity to Premise One, it necessarily follows then that people who are \"smarter\" and \"more educated\" than *Hugh Nibley*, would in turn make better judgments than Hugh Nibley. And I think it can safely be ventured that the overwhelming majority of non-Mormons posessing greater intelligence and education than Hugh Nibley, after studying Mormonism, would judge Hugh Nibley's religious beliefs to be false. Why then would Card not accept THEIR \"judgment\" over Nibley's? By his own argument, he would be bound to do just that - yet he does not. This suggests there is something very wrong with this kind of argument, or at least, in its relationship to the believers, like Card himself, making it.\nAnother problem: Even the smartest, most well-educated people can have untrue beliefs. (This is admitted most of all by smart, well-educated people themselves, everytime they change their minds about something). Beyond the mundane fact of mind-changing, it's no secret that equally smart, equally well-educated people often disagree - this means that either one, or both, are wrong (was it Rehnquist and Ginsberg who came in first and second in the same Stanford law class?). In short, nothing could be more obvious than that human beings do not cease to be human beings despite great intelligence and education. This in turn suggests that it is irrational for OSC (or anyone) to defer to the *very extreme degree* he does, to the final judgment of another human being on the question of Mormon truth claims, no matter how intelligent or educated that other person might be - particularly when there is a mountain of evidence suggesting that other person is wrong. Card, between the lines, seems to say that he ceased critical thought about Mormonism after encountering Nibley. If so, how could that be anything other than a pity?\nMoreover, I'm not even sure that Premise Two is entirely true - it is conceivable to me that, regardless of differing education levels, Orson Card might have been better at evaluating the truthfulness of religious claims than was his hero. Why not? OSC might have been \"smarter\" than Nibley in BS detection, just like a 19 year old with relatively rudimentary musical knowledge might be \"smarter\" at picking future hit songs than a college graduate in music composition. But, I suppose Card will never know how good his BS detection kit might have proved to be, since early on he fell squarely in line behind Nibley and then, seemingly, never gave Mormonism another critical thought.\nRather than go on forever, I'll just add one more point: I think it is fair to say that Hugh Nibley, for all his personal talents, as a professional historian is not quite the towering Olympian Mormons believe him to be. As an aid to them remaining in their peculiar psychological state, he is indeed quite the marvel. But as an historian? What is his great contribution to the field of history? I'd bet 500 bucks right now, that not one in a hundred working historians today has even so much as heard of him, let alone read one of his \"history books\", such as they are.\nFrom what I can tell, Hugh Nibley was innately intelligent enough that he could have very much contributed to our understanding of the past; but instead, he spent his life writing what amounts to propaganda for a fraudulent \"one true religion\". And it is all the sadder, that so many folks like Orson Scott Card so easily fell in line behind him.\nIf DNA tests had revealed that Native Americans were descendants of Israelite immigrants, would that have been good evidence that the Book of Mormon, in its form as a book with pages of gold, was really delivered to JS by an angel named Moroni, and was really 1600 years old?\nLet's answer that question with another question:\nIf your next door neighbour tomorrow published a book he said he'd translated from a book with pages of platinum, delivered to him by an angel named Peter Gabriel, which told the story of a certain Asian family who crossed into the Americas 20,000 years ago (call it \"The Book of Ying Yow\"), would the fact that his characters were Asian constitute evidence that all *his* stories were true?\nNot in the slightest, because it is a very common belief in 2006 that it was Asians who first populated the Americas. This fact is identically analogous to the fact that it was a very common belief in the United States 175 years ago, that the red man was a descendant of the Israelites. Your neighbour placing his story amongst ancient immigrant Asians, then, has as little to do with the veracity of your neighbour's angel stories, as does JS's placement of his story among lost Israelites have to do with the veracity of *his* angel stories. In fact, it tells absolutely NOTHING about the veracity of their claims for, and about, the book.\nIn other words, even if modern DNA studies had shown that the belief common 175 years ago was true, all it would mean is, is that modern DNA research has shown that the belief commonly held 175 years ago is true. It would as little support JS's tales, as it would those of Ethan Smith or Solomon Spaulding if they'd included mentions of a unicorn or team of fairies bringing them *their* books. It almost seems sometimes like Mormons and former Mormons are watching, waiting, to see if ancient Israelite ancestry will one day be found among some Native American population - as if this would lend some credence to Mormon truth claims. It wouldn't.\nBut the matter is even bleaker for the BOM. If our neighbour had the most sterling reputation, and yet told such a fantastic story, we would still have every reason to be skeptical, for a couple of reasons:\n1.) It has NEVER, in the entire history of mankind, ever been shown to be the case, that beings from other dimensions or regions of the universe, visit earthlings and give them things - but it *has* been shown many *thousands* of times, that the human brain is capable of \"seeing\" all sorts of phantasma.\n2.) All human experience tells us, that the fact we have never observed a man to lie, or perform any action whatsoever, is no guarantee he does not, or never will.\nWhat if the \"translator\" produced witnesses?\nIt strains credulity to note that in 2006, there are grown men, in posession of advanced university degrees, who continue to take as \"very strong evidence\" that the Book of Mormon was composed by human beings 2000 years ago, the fact that friends and relatives of Joseph Smith once put their names to a document saying they had seen angels and Joseph's plates.\nIt seems never to have occurred to such folks that you can find at least eleven people on this planet, all with good reputations, to testify to ANYTHING. And I mean, ANYTHING. All you have to do is turn on the Art Bell show. You can find THOUSANDS of seemingly intelligent, reputable people, who will testify that some homeopathic remedy cured their cancer, or that they saw the Virgin Mary, or that they were healed by the holy water at Lourdes...You can find thousands who would testify that they've seen space aliens, or even, that they've been abducted by space aliens, or even - that they've been raped by them. And the truth is, there is nothing less extraordinary about these claims, than there is about the claim that an angel once came and showed eleven people a book of gold. That testimonials are still touted as \"good evidence\" that a man who came back to life after he died, came from another dimension or part of the universe, to deliver a book of gold to someone, is almost embarrassing. The truth is that thefallibility of the human brain is such, and the evident inviolability of physical laws is such, that the former can never be counted as adequate evidence against a suspension of the latter.\nBesides, it even gets worse (it always does with Mormonism). EVEN IF Joseph Smith once really found a spiral bound book of gold, with strange characters on its pages, what chance is there he translated it correctly? We have reason to presume there is ZERO chance, given the accuracy (rather, the lack therof) of his other translation efforts. In those cases (the Book of Abraham, the Kinderhook Plates, and to some extent, the Bible), Joseph Smith failed to produce an accurate translation. So, it is only he himself who has given the world every reason to believe, that the Book of Mormon is NOT what it claims to be, namely, a \"translation\" of a 1600 year old \"most correct book on earth\".\nThe historical novels of James Michener, that I can tell, are accurate contextually in every detail; yet they are novels. The Book of Mormon, by contrast, is (almost without exaggeration) inaccurate contextually in every detail, and moreover, was produced by a man so manifestly untrustworthy, that not even FARMS writers (whose job it is to defend Smith's religion) will defend his trustworthiness in debate.\nKinda seems like zero plus zero plus zero equals zero for The Book of Ying Yow, I mean, The Book of Mormon.\nI propose a moment of silence...for all those people we know, or know of, who will never know what human life can really be.\nThey are all those people who will never come to understand that their life really, truly belongs to them, and to those they choose, of their own unfettered, unmanipulated will, to share it with. They will never know what it is like to explore all the wonderful, intriguing depths of themselves, or develop as much of their potential as they might.\nThey will never know what it is like to live without a core of fear, which has been so much a part of them for so long, that they are not even conscious it is there until it is gone.\nThey will never know that thrilling, primal-and-transcendent-at-the-same-time feeling of profound, soul-to-soul connection with every other human being on this planet, or feel that same kind of connection with every other living thing.\nFor them, there never will be a moment where they feel able to drop the mask and expose their own humanity; they will spend their entire lives trying to \"be an example\" of something, which not only doesn't deserve their consciences and wills, but not even their passing attention.\nThere are many things worse than mistakenly believing that Joseph Smith told the truth about his experience, and devoting your life to a fraudulent church. Yet it must also be said that there is nothing so sweet as being fully alive, all you can be, devoid of fear, empowered to freely love and search and yearn and *be so in contact with yourself, and those around you*...it is the most spiritual feeling in the world. How ironic that those who spend so much of their time talking about feeling the spirit, will never even feel one-tenth of the spiritual exhiliration that others not psychologically and emotionally bound by dogma, superstition, and conditioned reliance on a fellow mortal no more in contact with the heavens than they are, feel all the time.\nI feel sad that those I am related to, and those members I know of still in, have been so manipulated that they will not even *open their eyes* for fear of what they might see. They \"know\" there are real monsters under their beds - and so, they will not even check to see if there really are monsters under their beds. And there they stay, in their beds, for their entire lives...\nAnd for what? There never were any monsters under the bed; only stories from men who wished us to believe it, for their own gain, and that is the truth.\nTo hear starry-eyed FAIR posters tell it, FARMS writers are \"world-renowned scholars\", so smart and talented that the very fact they still claim to believe Joseph Smith always told the truth about his experiences, is more than enough reason for members (and by implication, everyone else on earth) to believe it, too. And certainly, Bro. Peterson doesn't seem shy about referring to himself as an \"Arabist\". He did it most recently in the current issue of the Mormon propaganda organ he edits.\nSo, I recently took a few minutes to email the department heads of America's top five Near Eastern or Middle Eastern Studies programs to ask them about the \"world famous\" Arabist Peterson, thinking that if anyone would be most familiar with productive Arabist scholars working in the United States, and qualified to comment on Peterson's scholarly reputation and research, it should be them.\nI emailed the department heads at Princeton, Harvard, Columbia, UCLA (Peterson's alma mater), and Michigan.\nOf the five, neither the Columbia nor Michigan DH bothered to respond (can't say I really blame them given the subject matter). However, the department heads from the other three did respond to my original email, in which I solicited their opinion of Arabist Peterson's scholarly work.\nAnd...not one of them has ever so much as heard of Daniel C. Peterson.\n\"I'm afraid I've never heard of him\".\n\"I have not heard of a Daniel C. Peterson who is a scholar of NES\".\nAnd lastly, this, from the current head of the very graduate program from which the world famous Arabist got his Ph.D.:\n\"I'm not aware of any scholarly work of his in the fields of biblical studies or Semitic languages. I'll take your word for it that he graduated from UCLA at some point in the past...Mormons generally think their beliefs are credible. I'm not aware of non-Mormon scholars who find their beliefs credible, but that's hardly surprising\".\nAnother \"world famous FARMS scholar\" named John Gee is so well-regarded, that at least one of his former Egyptology professors (Robert Ritner) has all but disavowed him (after demolishing his \"research\") in the prestigious Journal of Near Eastern Studies.\nI understand that Peterson recently wrote a non-Mormon book on Islam. If so, I am pleased; if there is one thing the West needs right now, it is an understanding of the psychological closedness of those who continue to pledge allegiance to \"one true way\" authoritarian loyalty cults. While Peterson's Mormon propaganda pieces themselves shed all the light the world would ever need on just that mindset (all the more effectively by doing so inadvertently), a piece which does this, and which is *intended* to do this by its Mormon apologist author, can only be welcomed. Maybe such endeavours will even one day help reverse Peterson's current anonymity within the community of Arabist scholars.",

        "title": "Why Free Software usability tends to suck",
        "raw_content": "Ask not what Mozilla can do for you\nWhy Free Software usability tends to suck\nAuthor: mpt\nTopic: Why Free Software usability tends to suck\nMsg #: 173 (top msg in thread)\nI\u2019ve been having a discussion with someone from IBM about whether it\u2019s ever possible for for Free Software to have a nice human interface.\nIn theory, I think it is possible. But in practice, the vast majority of open-source projects are also volunteer projects; and it seems that the use of volunteers to drive development inevitably leads the interface design to suck. The reasons are many and varied, and maybe one day I\u2019ll turn this into a long and heavily-referenced essay. But in the meantime, here\u2019s a summary.\nDedicated volunteer interface designers appear to be much rarer than their paid counterparts \u2014 and where they do exist, they tend to be less experienced (like yours truly).\nFirst corollary: Every contributor to the project tries to take part in the interface design, regardless of how little they know about the subject. And once you have more than one designer, you get inconsistency, both in vision and in detail. The quality of an interface design is inversely proportional to the number of designers.\nSecond corollary: Even when dedicated interface designers are present, they are not heeded as much as they would be in professional projects, precisely because they\u2019re dedicated designers and don\u2019t have patches to implement their suggestions.\nMany hackers assume that whatever Microsoft or Apple do is good design, when this is frequently not the case. In imitating the designs of these companies, volunteer projects repeat their mistakes, and ensure that they can never have a better design than the proprietary alternatives.\nVolunteers hack on stuff which they are interested in, which usually means stuff which they are going to use themselves. Because they are hackers, they are power users, so the interface design ends up too complicated for most people to use.\nThe converse also applies. Many of the little details which improve the interface \u2014 like focusing the appropriate control when a window is opened, or fine-tuning error messages so that they are both helpful and grammatical \u2014 are not exciting or satisfying to work on, so they get fixed slowly (if at all).\nAs in a professional project, in a volunteer project there will be times when the contributors disagree on a design issue. Where contributors are paid to work on something, they have an incentive to carry on even if they disagree with the design. Where volunteers are involved, however, it\u2019s much more likely that the project maintainer will agree to add a user preference for the issue in question, in return for the continued efforts of that contributor. The number, obscurity, and triviality of such preferences ends up confusing ordinary users immensely, while everyone is penalized by the resulting bloat and reduced thoroughness of testing.\nFor the same reason \u2014 lack of monetary payment \u2014 many contributors to a volunteer project want to be rewarded with their own fifteen pixels of fame in the interface. This often manifests itself in checkboxes or menu items for features which should be invisible.\nThe practice of releasing early, releasing often frequently causes severe damage to the interface. When a feature is incomplete, buggy, or slow, people get used to the incompleteness, or introduce preferences to cope with the bugginess or slowness. Then when the feature is finished, people complain about the completeness or try to retain the preferences. Similarly, when something has an inefficient design, people get used to the inefficiency, and complain when it becomes efficient. As a result, more user preferences get added, making the interface worse.\nWhere a project is heavily influenced by a company under commercial pressure to ship a usable product (such as Netscape, Eazel, or Ximian), you\u2019d expect the interface to improve as a result. But in such projects so far, it would appear that the opposite has happened. I think this is partly because the companies involved aren\u2019t large enough to employ designers who are both smart and stubborn, and partly because the business model of the companies involves maximizing the revenue (rather than the user satisfaction) gained from the interface.\n[2002-05-07: See also Why Free Software usability tends to suck even more.]\nLast update: Tuesday, May 7, 2002 at 5:39:18 PM\nE-mail him",

        "raw_content": "Spring Fashion Can Wait as Bangladesh Tries to Unravel Political Standoff\nby Sharif Hasan (@sharifhasan80) in Ottawa\nIf the latest spring fashions are not in store to cheer Canadians at the end of yet another dreary winter, little noticed events in Bangladesh could be a plausible reason.\nThe South Asian country finds itself in the midst of another political standoff in the New Year affecting all economic activities including the export of garments for popular brands.\nTrouble began when the opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) announced a rally to observe the first anniversary of last year\u2019s January 5 election, which it boycotted, as \u201cDeath of Democracy Day\u201d.\nThe government, led by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her Awami League party, which was planning a \u201cVictory Day of Democracy\u201d to mark the occasion, responded by banning the protest and locking up BNP leader Khaleda Zia in her office. Violent clashes between activists of the ruling party and the BNP ensued leading to several deaths.\n\u201cIt\u2019s so frustrating! We have our family and friends there. Anyone can get killed or wounded anytime,\u201d said Salehin Chowdhury, an employee of Statistics Canada. \u201cThe economy was thriving, but the political turmoil is going to spoil everything.\u201d\nThese fears are justified as the political unrest has been hurting industry badly, especially the garment sector, which has been struggling to meet buyers\u2019 deadlines. Around 80 per cent of the country\u2019s export earnings come from garments.\n[quote align=\"center\" color=\"#999999\"]\u201cThe Rana Plaza disaster in 2013 put our garments industry into big trouble, but with help from government and other organizations we have slowly recovered. And now this political unrest has created new pressure for us.\u201d - Abu Talib, President of Zubi Fashion [/quote]\nThe country\u2019s GDP growth was estimated at 6.1 per cent for the fiscal year ending with June 2014, half a percentage point higher than what the Asian Development Bank had projected. For 2015, the projection is higher at 6.4 per cent on the hope that private sector investment will pick up given some political stability.\n\u201cIf we cannot meet the buyers\u2019 deadlines, we\u2019re going to lose it all again,\u201d said Abu Talib, the President of Zubi Fashion, who lives in Montreal and operates a buying house in Dhaka. \u201cThe Rana Plaza disaster in 2013 put our garments industry into big trouble, but with help from government and other organizations we have slowly recovered. And now this political unrest has created new pressure for us,\u201d Talib added.\nThe tragedy Talib referred to was the collapse of a building housing many garment factories that killed 1,129 people. It got prominent media attention here in Canada as many local fashion brands were being produced in these factories.\nEconomists estimate that a day's shutdown of economic activity shaves 0.9 per cent off the country\u2019s gross domestic product a year at market price. Political unrest, like the current standoff, also affects foreign remittance and foreign direct investment. Last year the economy could have done better, but for 53 strikes and 19 blockades.\nHistory of violent politics\nUnfortunately, this year looks no better as both the warring parties seem unable to overcome their history of confrontational and violent politics. The BNP wants fresh elections to be held under a non-partisan caretaker government, while the Awami League insists it will continue in office for its entire term that is to end in 2019.\nAccording to the constitution of Bangladesh, the general election is held after every five years. Following a Supreme Court judgement, the caretaker government system was repealed in 2011 and Awami League remained in power when the election was held in January 2014.\nAwami League leaders have been saying that BNP made a mistake by not participating in the election and now will have to wait four more years.\nPrime Minister Hasinahas dismissed the possibility of any dialogue with the BNP, saying the party was just trying to save war criminals in the name of a political movement.\n[quote align=\"center\" color=\"#999999\"]As there are no signs of any moves to solve the political crisis, the people of Bangladesh are bracing for more trouble in the days to come. While the projected economic pickup seems unlikely, Canadians would understand that missed fashion deadlines are of lessor concern under these circumstances.[/quote]\nThe war criminals issue has been at the heart of the confrontation between the two parties ever since the country\u2019s violent birth in 1971. The unsettled questions include the one about who was on which side in the movement for liberation from Pakistan.\nTo settle those questions the Awami League government in 2008 set up war tribunals that have dispensed speedy verdicts including the death sentence to several in the senior leadership of the anti-Liberation Jamaat-e-Islami party and life terms to others including BNP leaders. Predictably, these verdicts have proved divisive.\nBy using the state power, Awami League has so far been successful to foil the political programs of BNP, but it has not been able to restore law and order in the country.\nThe BNP on its part has failed to convert its struggle into a mass movement and has alienated itself from majority of the public because it is in league with the Jamaat. The corruption charges against its leader\u2019s elder son, Tareq Zia, is another factor against it.\nWhile Awami League enjoys popular support by being the party that helped gain independence, members of the civil society are critical of its handling of last year\u2019s election. With almost all other major parties boycotting the election, the Awami League won 154 of the 300 parliamentary seats uncontested and went on to form a government for the second consecutive term with two-third majority.\nAs there are no signs of any moves to solve the political crisis, the people of Bangladesh are bracing for more trouble in the days to come. While the projected economic pickup seems unlikely, Canadians would understand that missed fashion deadlines are of lessor concern under these circumstances.\nAn M.A. English Literature graduate from the University of Dhaka, Bangladesh, Sharif Hasan became a campus journalist while doing his undergraduate degree there. He worked as the Social and Cultural Affairs Editor at the weekly Aajkal, a Bangladeshi-Canadian community newspaper based in Toronto for a year before moving to Ottawa this September. Sharif is now doing his Master\u2019s in Journalism at Carleton University. He continues to contribute to Bangladeshi dailies in English, namely The Daily Sun and Dhaka Tribune.\nThis commentary was produced under NCM's mentoring program, which pairs immigrant journalists with NCM Editors.\nJagmeet Singh fails to Typecast Easily, Despite CBC's Best Efforts",

        "raw_content": "CARDI DAY 2018\nOn Wednesday 5 December, all CARDI offices across the region celebrated CARDI Day under the theme \u201cCelebrating the potential of the region\u2019s coconut industry.\u201d The date holds special meaning as it is on 5 December 1974 Caribbean government representatives met in Georgetown, Guyana to sign the agreement establishing the Institute.\nThis year the focus was on highlighting the Institute\u2019s work under the EU \u2013 ACP funded Regional Coconut Industry Development Project. Through a series of exhibitions, workshops, public lectures and school tours participants will see first-hand some of the practical ways that the project is breathing new life into one of the region\u2019s oldest industries.\nIn the last four years, the Caribbean Agricultural Research Development Institute (CARDI) has been implementing a major regional project, working alongside the International Trade Center and stakeholders along the coconut value chain to transition the region\u2019s small-scale operations to enterprise-level profitability in the global coconut industry.\nWorldwide, a growing demand for fresh coconut produce is being driven by recent trends in the global food and beverage sector and the health and beauty markets. Caribbean farmers are exploring new ways to get more out of the coconut value chain, converting every part of the iconic tree into marketable assets. But it\u2019s not that simple. For many farmers, issues like pests, disease and limited market access are still severely constraining their ability to make a sustainable living from coconuts.\nCARDI is working alongside a number of stakeholders in Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Belize, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Guyana, Jamaica, St. Lucia, St Vincent and the Grenadines, Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago to help other farmers benefit from the window of opportunity created by an upsurge in global demand.\nIn Dominica for example, the capacities of 129 persons along the value chain have been enhanced in the production of quality coconut planting material, coconut production technology, development and processing of coconut niche products, entomological risk mitigation and group/cluster development and strengthening.\nIn Belize, small-scale coconut processor Dona Dougal Sosa took part in a similar series of training modules to learn how to streamline the manufacturing and packaging processes for her line of coconut-based soaps.\nIn Jamaica, the project has focused on developing farmer\u2019s business skills in order to open up crucial access to financial products and services. A recent collaboration saw the International Trade Centre and the Development Bank of Jamaica providing financial literacy training to several Jamaican producers.\nThose kinds of interventions are happening across the region\u2019s coconut value chain, bringing together smallholder farmers and small-scale processors with representatives from finance and other sectors so that they can more easily share technical knowledge and market information.\nBarton Clarke, Executive Director of CARDI, says the multi-stakeholder efforts will add up to a more competitive coconut industry for the entire region.\n\u201cThrough this Regional Coconut Industry Development Project, CARDI is working to improve income and employment opportunities, food security, and overall competitiveness of the Caribbean coconut sector,\u201d Clarke said.\n\u201cThis project has laid a firm foundation from which growth and expansion of the industry can now be accelerated. CARDI will continue to work alongside national stakeholders, regional actors and international agencies to deepen linkages with players from sectors such as health services, manufacturing, finance and tourism,\u201d said Maurice Wilson, regional project coordinator.",

Rankings are determined by a measurement of the university\u2019s student engagement, services and technologies, faculty credentials and training, and peer reputation.\n\u201cIt is exciting to be ranked in the top 50 this year alongside so many larger, public universities like Arizona State, Ohio State, and Georgia,\u201d said Dennis Purvis, director of enrollment services for Lee University Online. \u201cU.S. News is the gold standard of college rankings. To join that list as a private, Christian school and be the top-ranked school in Tennessee is something we can all be proud of. It is just further proof that we are building our online program with an intentional, student-focused approach.\u201d\nOther universities in Tennessee were also ranked in \u201cBest Online Bachelor\u2019s Programs,\u201d such as University of Memphis (#58), Carson-Newman University (#259), East Tennessee State University (#264 tie), and University of Tennessee at Martin (#200). Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University of Florida was ranked #1.\n\u201cLee has an outstanding curriculum and faculty, both on campus and online, and we are excited that others are recognizing this for our online programs, too,\u201d said Dr. Joshua Black, executive director of Lee Online.\nLee University Online offers a flexible approach toward an affordable, accessible, and achievable degree program. Online degree programs include the Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Science in Bible and Theology, Business Administration, Christian Studies, Criminal Justice (2 emphases), Ministry Leadership (8 emphases), and Liberal Studies (degree completion).

These improvements have been funded by a grant received from the National Science Foundation (NSF) in September 2016.\nThe 2016 grant, $155,000 over five years, was part of a $2.6 million NSF grant for\nCollaborative Research: A National Consortium for Synergistic Undergraduate Mathematics via Multi-Institutional Interdisciplinary Teaching Partnerships (SUMMIT-P).\n\u201cThrough the SUMMIT-P project we have been able to create several faculty learning communities on our campus,\u201d said Dr. Caroline Maher-Boulis, professor of mathematics. \u201cThis year, the mathematics division at Lee has had interdisciplinary discussions and collaborations with faculty in numerous departments on our campus, including health, secondary education, political science, humanities, behavioral and social sciences, and history.\u201d\nThe Mathematical Association of America (MAA)\u2019s CRAFTY (Committee on Curriculum Renewal Across the First Two Years) designed the SUMMIT-P project as a consortium of 10 colleges and universities, including Lee University, that are working together to improve math courses for first- and second-year students based on the needs of partner disciplines. The goal of these improvements is to make the math courses more meaningful to students in their chosen disciplines.\n\u201cBy discussing and cooperating with other disciplines, we are able to provide instruction in our mathematics courses that is informed by and relevant to these departments,\u201d said Maher-Boulis. \u201cThis helps students to better understand the utility of the mathematical content in their other courses, which in turn leads to greater retention.\u201d\nLee\u2019s SUMMIT-P team is led by Maher-Boulis and includes Dr. Bryan Poole, assistant professor of psychology; Dr. John Hearn, assistant professor of chemistry; and Dr. Jason Robinson, assistant professor of education.\nThe Lee group recently hosted the first webinar in a SUMMIT-P series offered by the MAA. This webinar series is designed for post-secondary faculty who wish to reexamine and refine mathematics courses in collaboration with partner disciplines.\n\u201cThe webinar was well-received by the national mathematical community, with 60 attendees from across the nation,\u201d said Maher-Boulis. \u201cIn addition to showcasing the work the Lee team has done on our campus, participants were able to discuss the benefits and challenges of incorporating such a project on their own campuses. We were honored to share our experience at the national level.\u201d\nThe Lee team also recently collaborated with two other SUMMIT-P institutions to present at the 2018 Transforming STEM Higher Education Conference, which is part of the Association of American Colleges and Universities (AACU)\u2019s Network for Academic Renewal conference series. The group\u2014Maher-Boulis, Mike May ofMAA Saint Louis University, and Victor Piercy of Ferris State University\u2014presented, \u201cImproving Mathematics Connections for Majors and Non-Majors through Interdisciplinary Partnerships,\u201d discussing the SUMMIT-P program, the research which inspired it, applied implementation of the findings, and analysis of the collaboration across institutions.\nIn addition to these conferences and webinars, Lee\u2019s NASCM is partnering with Bradley County Schools to offer professional development for mathematics instructors.\n\u201cHaving the opportunity to partner with Bradley County Schools has been a great experience for those of us involved with the grant,\u201d said Robinson. \u201cMrs. Beth Fugate, mathematics coordinator for the school system, has worked hard to provide superior professional development opportunities for our Lee University math instructors and for that, we are truly thankful.\u201d\nThe Southeastern Section of the MAA (MAA-SE) will host their annual regional conference on Lee\u2019s campus March 7-9, 2019.\nFor more information about the National Science Foundation, visit https://www.nsf.gov/\nFor more information about the Mathematics Association of America and CRAFTY, visit MAA.\nFor more information about the SUMMIT-P, click here.\nFor more information about the Association of American Colleges and Universities and the Transforming STEM Higher Education conference, visit conference.\nFor more information about the MAA-SE conference in the spring, visit MAA Conference.\nNASCM Makes Strides with help of NSF Grant\nThe Department of Natural Sciences and Mathematics has been actively participating in conferences, consortiums, and partnerships which work to improve the quality of mathematics higher education on...\nThe Language and Literature department will offer free English as a Second Language classes to the community through its ELC beginning Thursday, Sept. 6.\nLee University\u2019s Department of Language and Literature will offer free English as a Second Language classes to the community through its English Language Center (ELC) beginning Thursday, Sept. 6.\nThere will be five levels of classes offered ranging from Novice, for those who speak no English, to Advanced, for those who are more proficient in English. This wide range of levels and the small class sizes allow the teachers to address the unique learning style of each individual so students can achieve their personal goals.\nThe program is led by Dr. Chris Blake, associate professor of Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) and Linguistics at Lee and director of Lee\u2019s ELC. The courses are taught by student-instructors, all of whom are professionally trained in the TESOL program.\nFor the second year in a row, English instruction will be offered to high school, middle school, and elementary school students along with adults. The high school students receive instruction through the ELC youth program, directed by Dr. Betsy Poole, assistant professor of Spanish and linguistics at Lee. Free childcare will be provided for children ages 6-12, and TESOL-trained students direct this program as well, incorporating English lessons and activities suited for the young age group.\n\u201cWe are very excited about the continued growth of the English Language Center\u201d said Blake. \u201cThis is our eighth year of providing ESL classes to the community, and we especially want to thank Athens Federal Foundation for their generous financial support over these years. So much of what we do has been made possible by their commitment to our vision and work.\u201d\nClasses will be held Thursday evenings from 6:30-8:30 in the Walker Memorial Building, with signs directing students to the building and rooms.\nFor more information about the classes, contact Blake at cblake@leeuniversity.edu or (423) 614-8223.\nEnglish Language Center to Offer Free Classes Beginning Thursday\nProspective students can now earn a master of music in music education fully online.\nBeginning this semester, prospective students can now earn a master of music (MM) in music education fully online through a new partnership between the Lee University School of Music and Lee University Online.\n\u201cThis program will be perfect for teachers who want to improve their teaching skills, expand their music knowledge, and bring life change to their students,\u201d says Dr. Brad Moffett, director of graduate studies in music at Lee University.\nThe new program, which can be completed in less than two years, will welcome a fall, spring, and summer cohort. Courses will be taught by National Association of Schools of Music (NASM)-accredited School of Music faculty.\n\u201cStudents can expect to work with highly qualified faculty with personal attention to the projects and research chosen,\u201d adds Moffett. \u201cThey can also expect to apply the project work and the course work into their everyday classroom teaching. This degree is designed to have an immediate effect on the day-to-day classroom approach of professional teachers.\u201d\nAccording to Moffett, applicants must have an undergraduate degree in music from an accredited university and do not need to be certified to teach by their respective state or province. While this degree does not provide students with a teacher licensure, the Lee University School of Music, in conjunction with the Helen DeVos College of Education, does provide an on-campus path to teacher licensure for students who need this component.\nThe MM in music education is the fourth graduate program to be offered at Lee University Online. Scholarships are available.\nFor more information or to register, call Dennis Purvis, director of Lee Online enrollment services, at (423) 614-8370 or email dpurvis@leeuniversity.edu.\nFor a complete listing of all Lee University Online programs, visit LeeOnline.\nLee Online Offers Master of Music in Music Education\nRegistration is underway for Lee University\u2019s Encore Program.\nRegistration is underway for Lee University\u2019s Encore Program, which offers people age 60 and over the opportunity to take specially designed mini-courses.

        "raw_content": "A Nameless Ghoul From Ghost Dismisses Any Bad Blood Over Kerry King Comments\nEarlier this year, the ever frank Kerry King from Slayer offered his honest opinion on the band Ghost, who have seen their popularity skyrocket over the last few years. While Slayer have toured with Ghost and are friendly with the band, King admitted that he wasn't a huge fan of their music. But for those thinking his comments might cause a rift, think again. A Nameless Ghoul from Ghost has squashed any possible drama in a new interview.\nIn King's initial comments, he stated to Artisan News Service, \"I love the imagery \u2026 I just hate the f---ing music \u2026 I wanna like 'em, I just can't.\" The Slayer guitarist added that he's happy for the band's popularity and considers them some of the nicest guys he'll ever meet in rock, but concluded, \"It's just not my music, and I've tried so hard.\"\nWhen asked about the comments by Metal Injection (in the interview above), A Nameless Ghoul responded, \"I don't even think that what he said was negative. He just said that he didn't like the band, that he didn't like the music. And you know, we're not for everybody. We've never tried to please everybody, so I didn't even see the negative element in what he said.\"\n\"It doesn't change my opinion on Slayer. I've been a Slayer fan ever since I was a kid and I still love several of their records with all my heart. For me, it wasn't changing anything,\" added the musician.\nSo for those looking for drama, you'll have to look elsewhere. Slayer and Ghost remain as tight as ever.\nA Nameless Ghoul From Ghost Talks 'Meliora' + More\nSource: A Nameless Ghoul From Ghost Dismisses Any Bad Blood Over Kerry King Comments\nFiled Under: ghost, kerry king, Slayer",

Let me say first of all, before you read any further, that I am proud to have the inside scoop as far as sporting and gaming products go, so supply you with a ton of useful information that will enable you to decide if Step by Step Cash System is a clear winner or if it fails to make the cut. Exactly what does my match report have in store for you then? Well, I\u2019ve discovered a number of ratings this product\u2019s received, which will be useful for you in terms of understanding where it stands up against other products in the market. I\u2019ve also got you the price, purchasing info and important details on the vendor too. So, what\u2019s my game plan and what kind of info am I going to be giving you? Well, to give you the best chance of getting the right product for you, I\u2019m going to be taking you through a range of ratings that this product\u2019s received, as well as other fundamental details, such as its price and whether the merchant has dropped the ball at any stage of the game! I also inform you about other products out there that are in the same league and may interest you and provide you with my overall rating for the product itself. All of this will allow you to make up your own mind about whether it\u2019s worth your hard earned money or not. One thing I\u2019ve got to tell you about just before you read any more is that if you do decide to purchase Step by Step Cash System, I could earn a commission. So, if you want to get started and find out more about me and how this all works, you can click here\nProduct Name Step by Step Cash System\nWebsite http://www.stepbystepcashsyst em.com/\nCategory E-business & E-marketing Marketing\nMy reviews, or match reports, as I fondly refer to them, are meant to make you as knowledgeable about the products I review as possible. What this means is you\u2019re hopefully less likely to buy something that you feel is a waste of money. No-one likes throwing away money of course. On that note, let there be no more hesitation, let\u2019s dive straight in to the good stuff. Ok, no more pre-match talk; let\u2019s get started on the review.\nIt\u2019s extremely important to be fair and thorough when critiquing products, so I ensure that my reviews take all my research into account. This means making certain that I take note of precise sales figures, which I\u2019ve access to through the vendor\u2019s payment processor. The payment processor provides a rating for the product in the form of something they call Gravity, which basically shows you how well or poorly the product\u2019s been selling on a scale between 0 and 1000+. Step by Step Cash System has scored 12.3215. Now, I\u2019m an internet marketer not a statistician and while I\u2019ve managed to get my head round this system, I am aware that others will find it confusing. My ranking system is weighted and out of 100, which means that anyone will be able to see unmistakably if a product\u2019s a high flyer or a bottom feeder. My ranking system is weighted and out of 100, which means that anyone will be able to see unmistakably if a product\u2019s a high flyer or a dud. I\u2019ve scored Step by Step Cash System 55.73/100. This is an OK score. However, don\u2019t get overly enthusiastic as if this were a school report, it would read \u2018could do better\u2019.\nNot so long ago, I said that I was going to let you know about the vendor\u2019s other products. The Overall Rate of returns takes into account every one of the vendor\u2019s products, not just Step by Step Cash System, so don\u2019t forget this when it comes to the rating itself. You\u2019ll see the rating is based on a score between 1 and 5, with 5 being the best and marginal refunds and 3 being the worst, with the most refunds. If a product happens to score a 3, it\u2019s in all probability that it\u2019s brand new to market so there just isn\u2019t much data out there. Step by Step Cash System has scored 2. This means that the merchant is doing okay and they are currently sitting at, approximately, a 15% overall rate of returns.\nMoving on to the vendor\u2019s actual domain, stepbystepcashsystem.com, there are a couple of things worth knowing before making any kind of buying decision about Step by Step Cash System. Perhaps you may ask \u2013 how does investigating stepbystepcashsystem.com help me decide if I would like to buy Step by Step Cash System or not? Well, by investigating how long a site\u2019s been in existence, we can get a decent idea of how reliable and dependable it is. You definitely want to get an idea about this before you go further. The very best place to start is checking how big the website is \u2013 how many pages it\u2019s got. stepbystepcashsystem.com currently has 15. Having this number of pages is just fine \u2013 it\u2019s most likely that it\u2019s been around an acceptable amount of time and is gradually building up its authority in the specific niche market. This procedure is, in a way, kind of similar to how a rugby club chooses its coach \u2013 in any case who would pick a novice; no-one. You\u2019d never choose someone who hasn\u2019t won any trophies and isn\u2019t a guru. In the case of stepbystepcashsystem.com, it has 156 and an authority rating of 12.80/100. This site isn\u2019t really too decent \u2013 however there are some back-links present so there\u2019s hope yet. This isn\u2019t too positive a score, although there is always time to improve on the number of back-links that they currently have. One thing that playing and watching sport has taught me is that you can never know too much about your competition. Exactly the same thing applies when you are buying anything. It certainly is a decent idea to check out the retailer; luckily, I\u2019ve done a lot of this for you. I can see that WhoisGuard registered the domain and if you\u2019re interested in looking into this in more detail, click here.\nWhat further products is this vendor selling?. There\u2019s currently 0 additional product available for sale from this vendor. There is no harm in checking out the additional product. In any case, there is no pressure to buy and it also helps you work out what kind of product owner they are too.\nI don\u2019t mind spending a decent amount of time online looking through various sports or gaming products trying to find deals or reductions in price. However, I realize this isn\u2019t everyone\u2019s bag. Therefore, I\u2019ve the pleasure of informing you that you only have to go to one place on the internet. You literally can\u2019t find this anywhere else other than stepbystepcashsystem.com. If, by chance, you\u2019re not able to locate something you want on the web site, make sure to check your spam or even just your inbox for emails that contain product or special links. As an alternative, give the links above a go and you\u2019ll be taken through to the special deals or products pages directly.\nI told you right at the start of this match report, or critique for those who don\u2019t share my love of sporting language, if you decide to buy any of the items detailed on this website after clicking on my links, it may result in me receiving a commission. So for starters, thanks in advance and to say a further thank you, I want to offer you a bonus.

        "title": "Hiring A Roofer",
        "raw_content": "Here are a few tips to help you confidently hire your next roofing contractor. Call us for more information.\nHiring a Roofer can be Complicated, but it's Not Impossible:\nWhen you are considering hiring a roofing contractor, there are many things to look out for. By using some common sense and a little investigative know-how, you can avoid some of the issues common to most bad experiences. Within this article we will provide many of the questions you need to ask, and some of the best moves to make to ensure that your roofing experience is a good one.\nAre Roofers in Your Area Required to be Licensed?\nMany states and local municipalities require roofing contractors to be licensed. This typically means that they will take certain tests to prove that they have a working knowledge of roof systems, and also the code requirements and other laws in your area.\nAre the Terms of the contract clearly defined?\nThe proposal that you receive from any contractor should be clear, easy to read, and define all of the work to be done. It should also be clear when payments are to be made by you, and how much each of those payments are to be. Keeping you informed is a big part of our job, but having everything in writing protects both parties.\nIf a license is required in your area, be sure that you find a contractor that is licensed, and that license is in good standing. You can check state or local authority websites to find out a lot about your potential contractor.\nMost roofing contractors will carry insurance that will cover any accidental damage they may inflict on your property, as well as employees who may be working on your project. Many licensing agencies will require certain levels of insurance based on the projects they take on. A good contractor carries a current insurance policy that can be verified with a phone call to the agent.\nA general rule of thumb is that the longer a contractor has been in business, the better they are. But this is not always the case. Oftentimes a contractor who is just starting their business is a talented installer who decided to go out on their own. So while length of time in business can be helpful, you will need to decide if you are comfortable with someone who is just starting out.\nPast customer experiences are a great way to learn more about a roofing contractor. If they have a long list of great testimonials, you are more likely to be happy with their services. If you are happy with the service you receive, take the time to write a testimonial for the contractor. They will greatly appreciate it.\nDoes the Contractor have Online Reviews?\nIt is becoming much easier to find reviews of companies online, and roofing contractors are no exception. Doing a bit of research on a company in advance can save you a great deal of headache in the future.\nAsk For Photos of past Projects:\nAsk to see photos of past projects, whether they are on their website or simply on their phone. This is a great way to see what they have done in the past, and to ensure that they have actually completed the projects they have undertaken.\nUse Common Sense:\nPutting some thought into your decision in advance can save you a great deal of difficulty in the future. You should hire a company who meets your expectations and with whom you are comfortable.\nCheaper is not Better:\nContractors who offer a price that is substantially lower should be given a great deal of scrutiny. Make sure that they are going to be installing the same quality products, and doing it in the same way. Money is only saved by cutting corners, not carrying insurance or a license and can often have a profound effect on the outcome of your project.",

        "title": "ATSC 3.0 and the Future of Broadcast Television: OTA Meets OTT - Streaming Media Magazine",
        "raw_content": "What if there were a video streaming service that cost nothing, was always available, and delivered ultra-high-quality video well beyond what your typical cable provider offers?\nIf you\u2019re searching for just such an elusive offering, put down your mobile phone, tablet, or laptop and turn on your television. Today\u2019s over-the-air (OTA) broadcasts via terrestrial towers\u2014at least those aired by ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC, and The CW, also known as the \u201cBig 5\u201d networks in the United States\u2014still retain the quality edge over most over-the-top (OTT) and cable delivery.\nEspecially when it comes to sports, where most OTA broadcasts are at least a full 1080p resolution, the quality is stunning. In some ways it has always been this way: Even with the advent of 720p and 1080p high-definition resolutions (HD and Full HD, respectively), many broadcasters use an interlaced format (e.g., 1080i) that offers a smoothing effect for high-action sports. In many ways, this 1080i format has the same effect in 29.97 frames per second as progressive formats at double the traditional frame rate (e.g., 1080p60).\nSo if all this OTA goodness is available for free, why do consumers continue to pay high cable bills for an often-times inferior product?\nIf that question is asked only for prerecorded content such as episodic or reruns, the decision to cut the cord should be a relatively straightforward one. Yet the number one reason to remain locked in to a cable bill has little to do with prerecorded content and much to do with sports, breaking news, and other live events.\n\u201c[L]ive viewing is still the best opportunity for advertisers,\u201d said Jack Abernethy, CEO of Fox Television, at a recent National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) event held in New York.\nAbernethy\u2019s comments acknowledge the fact that OTT has changed the game in terms of prerecorded content, what we in the streaming industry refer to as on-demand content. But he\u2019s also pointing out that broadcasts of live events\u2014whether through traditional OTA or newer live-linear OTT offerings that attempt to mimic OTA across an IP network\u2014is still something that remains as an opportunity.\nATSC 3.0 is a top-level \u201cparent\u201d standard, most likely to be titled A/300. It covers the overall system, the states that must be included in an ATSC 3.0 system, and each of the component standards. (Image courtesy ATSC.)\nAnd, from an advertiser\u2019s perspective, a live local or national nightly news broadcast offers a chance to consistently deliver a message to a large audience in a cost-controlled way.\n\u201cPeople watch the commercials,\u201d said Abernethy, referring to live news broadcasts. \u201cThose ratings have held up pretty well as some of the entertainment properties have dropped.\u201d\nSo going back to the original premise, why wouldn\u2019t consumers cut the cord and just use a combination of live-linear OTT like Sling TV, Hulu, or DirecTV Now and the \u201cusual suspects\u201d of Amazon Prime or Netflix for on-demand OTT content?\nThe problem for the streaming industry, at least with live events, is the still-galling inability to scale live-event OTT up to television-sized audiences. This is due to a number of factors, one of which is the continued shunning of multicast delivery. More on that topic later.\nFor the broadcast industry, the major problem is a bit more subtle: Besides the semi-complex issue of serving up on-demand content, broadcasters face a global inability to transmit live-linear and live-event broadcasts in a format that is complementary to IP delivery.\nThe likely structure of the ATSC 3.0 suite of standards as of late 2018. Note that the names, numbers, and organization are still being finalized. (Image courtesy ATSC)\nBroadcasters have been stuck using the legacy interlaced transmission (the \u201ci\u201d in 1080i) ever since the \u201canalog sunset\u201d in which all U.S. broadcasters abandoned analog transmission under a government-mandated switch to digital OTA transmission in 2009. In much the same way that analog color television sets were forced to maintain backward compatibility to mid-1900s black-and-white TV technology, the use of interlaced transmissions in a digital domain was an attempt to maintain compatibility with older analog transmission infrastructures and consumer television sets.\nInterlaced delivery makes absolutely no sense for streaming, as it is essentially a doubling of frames over the typical progressive frame rate.\nAnalog televisions were based on cathode ray tubes. The use of a CRT phosphor \u201cgun\u201d meant the use of interlacing was essential, since the CRT could only \u201cpaint\u201d (or display) half the lines of a given frame at any given moment. As a result, when a 30-frame-per-second (actually 29.97) interlaced TV program was transmitted, it was based on 60 fields per second (actually 59.94).\nProgressive, on the other hand, displays a full frame at one time, meaning that 30 frames per second only requires 30 frames, rather than 60 fields. This is ideal for unicast-based streaming delivery, as it limits the overall bandwidth required for stream delivery, but also suffers from an appearance of juddery or jerky images when high-motion content such as sports are delivered to an end user\u2019s device. Some broadcasters offer 1080p transmissions, but they\u2019re few and far between.\nIs there a balance to be struck between live-linear OTT and classic OTA broadcasts?\nGood news: The answer is yes, at least starting in 2020. That balance is an advanced television broadcasting standard being adopted across the broadcast industry called ATSC. The original ATSC standard, proposed by the Advanced Television Systems Committee in 1996, was called ATSC 1.0.\nIn that initial standard, the major concern was finding a way to replace the analog tuner in most televisions with a digital tuner. In August 2002, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced that a series of steps was required for both broadcasters and consumer electronics manufacturers to help meet the stated mid-2009 deadline for the \u201canalog sunset\u201d changeover where broadcasters would cease transmitting OTA signals via analog equipment.\nAs part of this process, ATSC digital tuners were gradually added to large HDTVs in 2005, and then in 2007 to all new devices including HDTVs, VCRs, DVDs, and even digital video recorders used in cable television set-top boxes.\nTo aid in that initial transition, Congress authorized a subsidy of digital tuner set-top boxes which contained an ATSC-compliant digital television tuner but had analog outputs to connect to a traditional analog television. There were a few controversies surrounding the program, one of which involved the fact that analog signals output from these digital tuner boxes would not be 720 or 1080 signals but rather lower-resolution \u201cstandard definition\u201d signals.\nThe other controversy was around the pricing of these ATSC digital tuner boxes. While any household in America was eligible to receive up to two $40 coupons (Congress had set aside $990 million to cover the program), the coupons expired after 90 days, after which there was no way to renew them. On top of that, the $990 million ran out quickly, so Congress had to simultaneously push back the \u201canalog sunset\u201d and allocate an additional $510 million in order to keep on track for a 2009 cutoff of analog transmissions.\nEven so, almost 250,000 requests were made for coupons after the June 12, 2009 transition to only ATSC-compliant digital transmissions, but the coupons were not available for these consumers.\nHere\u2019s the reason I\u2019ve spent a bit of time in this article talking about the transitionary period from analog to digital: When it comes to changing a broadcast standard, it\u2019s more than just changing out transmission gear on a tower or (in the case of IP-based transmissions) a fiber-optic cable, and much more about how consumers will be impacted by the adoption.\nOn the broadcast front, though, it appears that everything\u2019s on track for a 2020 debut of transmissions using the newest ATSC 3.0 standard. At the NAB show mentioned at the top of the article, a number of broadcast groups announced support for ATSC 3.0 and collaboration on assuring a smooth transition. Besides Fox, there were pledged efforts by NBC, Nexstar (assisting Charter\u2019s Spectrum in its efforts), Telemundo, and Univision.\nATSC 3.0 is an IP-based transmission, meaning that OTA towers will be sending IP in much the same way a traditional Ethernet network would transmit IP packets through a router across the public internet and on to another remote router for delivery to an end-user\u2019s device.\nStreams of Thought: 3 Things the Streaming Industry Must Do to Prepare for ATSC 3.0",

        "raw_content": "Tag Archives: Ruhr Pocket\nThe following interview presents my grandfather\u2019s recollections of World War II.\nA transcript of the interview, conducted in May 2005, is collected by the Library of Congress American Folklife Center\u2019s Veterans History Project (memory.loc.gov/diglib/vhp/bib/loc.natlib.afc2001001.52021). Omaha Magazine\u2019s version of the transcript has been updated with minor edits for clarity and accuracy.\nRobert Wesley Meigs was born Oct. 11, 1922. He graduated from Twin Falls High School in Twin Falls, Idaho and was drafted on Jan. 16, 1943. After enlistment, Grandpa entered into the Army Specialized Training Program before the program was emptied to fill the 99th Infantry Division. He was honorably discharged on Jan. 6, 1946, after being awarded numerous distinctions, including a Purple Heart. Grandpa enrolled at University of Colorado through the G.I. Bill, graduated in 1950, became an engineer for Phillips Petroleum, and raised four children, including my father, John Meigs. All of Grandpa\u2019s children would graduate from high school in Omaha.\nDoug Meigs: Dad told me about how you were in the officer corps, and they were short on soldiers, so they emptied out the training colleges for infantry. Is that right?\nRobert Meigs: Well, it was called ASTP, the Army Specialized Training Program. We were never told that was what it was\u2014it was understood. But before that, I went into the service as a clerk typist, I went to a clerk typist school. Then from there I went to the ASTP, and from there into the 99th Infantry Division.\nD: Had you graduated from high school yet?\nD: So you were just out of high school and thinking about college?\nR: No, I was an assistant manager at F. W. Woolworth\u2019s in Twin Falls, Idaho.\nD: Why clerk typist?\nR: Well, that was what I was qualified to do based on the entry tests. When I was inducted, we had a series of tests.\nD: Aptitude tests?\nR: Yes, aptitude tests, and they put me in. We didn\u2019t know anything about what was going on. They took a big mass of people and then took their scores. I ended up in Camp Maxey, Texas.\nD: Basic training was at Camp Maxey, Texas?\nR: As soon as we got out of basic training, I went into the ASTP.\nD: What would you have done if you were a clerk typist?\nR: I would have been a company clerk. Well, I don\u2019t know, actually. I was also in medical training. I could have also been a medical typist.\nD: It would have been office work then?\nR: Yes, office work: keeping records and checking on stuff like that.\nD: Was there any sort of catalyst or reason why they emptied out the ASTP?\nR: Oh, I don\u2019t know. We had heard that they had closed the program down. That was about the time when we were into heavy casualties. I assume\u2014but I don\u2019t know anything about it\u2014that it was for filling up the new divisions just being activated.\nD: When you got in the 99th Infantry Division, did you have to be retrained?\nR: Yes, we went from ASTP, clerk typist school at Camp Barkeley, Texas\u2014where the typist school was\u2014to Camp Maxey, Texas, which was for the infantry.\nD: What was it like going through basic training a second time?\nR: Just more involved. It was infantry basic training while the other was close-order drills, learning your general orders for the Army, getting acquainted with the Army, and indoctrination.\nD: When they put you in the infantry, what were you thinking?\nR: Oh my god!\nD: I think I remember you saying a line about mushrooms and the infantry.\nR: Well, that was not my quote. But some soldiers would say, \u201cThey treat you like a mushroom. They keep you in the dark and feed you B.S.\u201d\nD: So, you\u2019re down in Camp Maxey doing infantry training, and these are the guys that you\u2019re going to Germany with?\nR: Yes, they had just activated a new division, the 99th Infantry Division. We were the fill-in for the people who were in there and had casualties, and we were put in the service of that company to fill out some divisions so that they could activate.\nD: So there were a bunch of other people in similar situations?\nR: Definitely. Most of the people in my squad or my platoon were ASTP people. We had enough of the original people who had been with the 99th for training and all, and some older people, but most of the group I went over with were in the same category I was.\nD: What was the general atmosphere of the camp? Were folks scared?\nR: No, it was just military training.\nD: Was it frightening to know you were preparing to go into war?\nR: No, because young people don\u2019t have an idea what war is about. And it was the Army, and Army training was disciplined\u2014a lot of discipline.\nD: So, once you left Camp Maxey, did you go straight to Europe or did you go back to Idaho?\nR: From Camp Maxey, we were sent to Boston where we departed for Europe as a unit.\nD: Were there U-boats prowling the Atlantic when you crossed over?\nR: Not that I knew of. They were out, but not in the area where we were. Some guys said they saw some. But I never saw any. We went over in a convoy.\nD: Where did you land in Europe?\nR: We landed in Firth of Clyde in Scotland, and from there down to some resort area on the coast of England\u2014I can\u2019t remember the name of it\u2014and we departed from there to the continent. And we replaced the 2nd Infantry Division on the front line.\nD: And then you were in Belgium?\nR: Belgium, along the border of Germany. We came to the Belgian city of Buchenbach first.\nD: Do you remember your first day on the front line?\nR: Not really. We were taken down, and it was snowy.\nD: I know you were in the Battle of the Bulge. That occurred while you were in Belgium?\nR: That occurred when we went on line. We went on line in December. It was\nDec. 16, 1944, the first night of the Bulge. The action started in the morning where we were. It may have started before, but when they came through our area, I think it was the 16th.\nD: How long had you been in Belgium by that point?\nR: Several weeks.\nD: So it was pretty soon?\nD: Did you have much combat between when you got there and the Battle of the Bulge?\nD: When you got to the front line, what was the atmosphere like?\nR: It was in the winter, and we were in line. We had our positions. I think the division was spread out over several miles, 25 miles maybe. We were living in foxholes, and living on the edge of the woods. We had our company headquarters\u2014units were out. And right across the valley were the Germans with a kind of stalemate\u2014nobody would move. And in the Battle of the Bulge, they broke through our division and an adjoining division. They rolled right on back.\nD: How many people are in a division?\nR: 15,000.\nD: So there were two groups of 15,000 and they broke through your lines? How close were you to the breakthrough?\nR: I don\u2019t know\u2014pretty close. It was close enough that we were in a quasi-retreat. Then we got cut off, and we were behind enemy lines for a couple days as a unit. And going back up was, of course, after the first instants of the Bulge.\nD: So, what was it like when you got surrounded?\nR: Well, you didn\u2019t know who was where.\nD: Was there a lot of hiding? Or were you fighting? Could you see Germans marching by? It\u2019s hard for me to even picture it.\nR: It\u2019s hard to describe because everything was so convoluted. We weren\u2019t into any hand-to-hand; it was mostly artillery duels and patrols to find out where the other side was. On the morning of the breakthrough, it was just bedlam.\nD: Did you wake up to gunfire?\nR: Yes, we were under artillery most of the night.\nD: So, did you basically not sleep while you were in combat?\nR: We slept the most we could. We had four or five guys in a dugout, a foxhole.\nD: How deep were these foxholes?\nR: They were deep enough to where you had to stoop to get in\u2014maybe 6 feet by 6 feet.\nD: So when you were in the Battle of the Bulge, was the ground frozen or was it muddy?\nR: It wasn\u2019t frozen. There was a lot of snow, a lot of rain. It was extremely muddy. We were in the Ardennes Forest. The snow would pack in on the trees, and it would melt. But the water would be dripping off the trees for days. It could be a bright day but it would still be wet. The 99th Division was also called the \u201ctrenchfoot division.\u201d Trenchfoot occurs from too much moisture on your feet and not enough circulation. They don\u2019t really turn frozen, but they turn black.\nD: Kind of like gangrene and frost-bite mixed together?\nR: Yeah, there were a lot of amputees and toes lost.\nD: Did you have any problem with trenchfoot?\nR: Not trenchfoot. I think I froze my feet one time.\nD: How did your feet freeze?\nR: Just exposure.\nD: Was it any particular incident when you were stuck or stranded?\nR: Just living out in the winter. It was in December, with a lot of snow and a lot of inclement weather. One of the problems was the Air Force couldn\u2019t fly to attack the Germans from the air because of the overcast.\nD: You said prior to the battle it was just a lot of artillery. Do you have any personal stories, like the foxhole you were in being hit?\nR: No, not a direct hit, but it came close. The first morning of the Bulge, we sent out patrols, and every company had a command post, and every command post along our regiment took direct hits. Before that, a lot of patrolling went on. We were patrolling on the enemy side, and they were coming back. So, they knew all the locations.\nD: Were you on any of those patrols the night before the Bulge?\nR: Yes, I was on a couple.\nD: Was it like a different atmosphere, like you knew something was going to happen the next day?\nR: Oh no. That patrol was days before the Bulge. We were trying to get prisoners and vice versa, but the Germans didn\u2019t capture any of our men.\nD: Did you ever capture any Germans?\nD: What was that like?\nR: They would give up since we had tanks. This was after the Bulge and we were beginning to move forward and advance. We\u2019d find these pockets and then our guys would surround them and they\u2019d take prisoners and we\u2019d take them to the rear.\nD: Were there any times when you were taking prisoners that you remember in particular?\nD: Back to the Battle of the Bulge, when every command post had direct hits, how did you know what to do?\nR: At first, we didn\u2019t know what to do, but we just followed our officers, and the leaders. After that was when they pulled on by us, and left us behind the lines. That period of time is kind of fuzzy, hazy in my memory,\nD: What was the hierarchy of units, in terms of division, platoon, etc?\nR: It goes division, ahead of the division is the corps, then it goes into what you called \u201ctriangular divisions,\u201d and each division had three regiments, and each regiment had three battalions, and each battalion had three companies, and then you have your squads.\nD: Were the companies broken up?\nR: No, we were pretty much all together as a company. But people were all over the place trying to find their units. You\u2019d meet a guy and he\u2019d want to know where the unit was that was in that area, and they\u2019d try and direct him to where they were located now.\nD: Did you ever get separated?\nR: Not really. We stayed together as a unit.\nD: Then you guys got up to some sort of elevated or mountainous area? Dad told me you had taken refuge there.\nR: Our division was in what you call the Elsenborn. Our unit was in reserve, at Elsenborn Ridge. We weren\u2019t directly on line; we were waiting to replace somebody.\nD: What was the process? You got up to the ridge, and could you see the German Army trudging forward?\nR: No, we knew they were on the edge of the forest, they had their gun emplacements and they had their troops there.\nD: Was the Bulge like they had a huge mass that just broke through all at once and then you saw the mop-up coming while your guys tried to regroup and find each other?\nR: Pretty much. Our groups would try to hold up the main elements. In fact, it wasn\u2019t our particular unit, but a lot of units in the 99th Division held up the German advance. You read an awful lot of history, and you read about the 99th and how keen they were in holding it.\nD: Were there really heavy casualties in your area?\nR: I used to have statistics, but I\u2019m not certain. We probably had 20 to 30 percent casualties.\nD: What was your role in your unit?\nR: I had the Browning Automatic Rifle.\nD: Once you realized the Germans were coming through, did you guys set up and put your tripod down for the B.A.R.?\nR: No, it wasn\u2019t that kind of fighting. They ran through. And we more or less retreated. Why? I wasn\u2019t in on the decision-making. While we were on the line, it was kind of interesting; we had built corduroy roads for evacuation.\nD: Corduroy?\nR: We cut out trees and used the trunks for roads to keep out of the mud and the snow. And while we were on the line before the Bulge, that was mostly what we were doing and stakeouts, setting up ambushes, and patrols.\nD: When you say \u201con the line,\u201d you guys were at the very front?\nR: The very front.\nD: Up at the Elsenborn, when did you know the tide was turning and the Germans weren\u2019t going to breakthrough and get the oil and all that.\nR: I\u2019m not sure, but at some point, all the units that could move were put up in trucks, and we were rushed to the Remagen Bridge.\nD: So, you had already been put under Gen. George Patton by that point?\nR: You know I\u2019m not even sure, but that\u2019s what I heard later. I didn\u2019t even realize we were under Hodges\u2019 command, but somebody told me we were under British command for a while, too.\nD: So, you go from the Elsenborn Ridge on trucks to the Remagen Bridge?\nR: After the German breakthrough with the Battle of the Bulge in December, we started north, then they trucked us south to the Remagen Bridge in March. We made the Rhine crossing at Remagen. In fact our unit, I think, was the very first unit across the Remagen. Our platoon was about 30 or 40 guys.\nD: Where would you be in the placement of men crossing?\nR: Somewhere in the first 50.\nD: Could you see the first guy going across?\nR: Yes, I think I followed him.\nD: What was it like? Were you in groups waiting for artillery bursts, and just ran you across the bridge?\nR: What happened was the Germans were trying to blow up the bridge, but the artillery couldn\u2019t reach it. It could reach the west side, the side away from Germany. Then somebody, a sergeant or someone, timed it and figured out they were coming in bursts. And those bursts would hit the entrance to the bridge, so when we got that worked out, after a burst, they would shove people across, and once you got on the bridge you weren\u2019t in any danger of artillery fire, but you were in danger from small arms fire.\nD: The artillery was landing where you would get on the bridge?\nR: Close enough.\nD: Was that where you got shrapnel in your shoulder?\nR: No, I got shrapnel on the other side, after I crossed the bridge. I don\u2019t remember if it was a day or two after crossing, when we were going forward.\nD: While troops were crossing the bridge, were there a lot of casualties?\nR: Yes, but like I said, because of the position of the artillery, to my knowledge I don\u2019t think we lost that many people there. But once we got in on the other side, then we were in the rear of the retreating German army, and they hit us with small arms fire.\nD: You get across the bridge, then they get your platoon across, and then the company, then the Luftwaffe bombed the bridge, but the engineers built another bridge. Is that right?\nR: Yes. When I was wounded, we went back to the hospital in, I think it was Liege, Belgium, and we crossed the river on a pontoon bridge. I came back to the hospital for some time, and then I rejoined the unit. By the time I rejoined, they had started mopping up what was called the Ruhr Pocket.\nD: What was the Ruhr Pocket?\nR: The landscape was pretty much the plains. We were like pincers\u2014going around and surrounding German troops, getting all the Germans. The Ruhr Pocket was a big area. The U.S. captured thousands upon thousands of prisoners.\nD: What exactly happened when you were wounded?\nR: It was artillery. There was shrapnel. There were two other guys\u2014two or three other guys who were killed. And I got small shrapnel in my arm, which is still there.\nD: What were you guys doing, doing mop-up activities or patrolling?\nR: Going forward, we were pushing the Germans back.\nD: So, were you firing at the time, running and firing?\nR: Just going forward, having the artillery fire at me.\nD: Were you aware that artillery was firing at you at that point?\nR: Oh yeah.\nD: Were these two guys people who had been with you since ASTP, were they clerk typists too?\nR: No, they were in our unit. That\u2019s the thing\u2014I don\u2019t recall their names.\nD: Was that a really traumatic incident, when the artillery hit you, was it really destructive on your bodies, were you really close together?\nR: They shielded it.\nD: So, you were on a corner?\nR: I was on the outside, they were just advancing.\nD: When you got hit, did you retreat with your wounds, or did somebody come and get you?\nR: They sent a medic, a medic came up and looked at you, and they sent you back to the medical evacuation.\nD: Were these other two guys in really bad shape?\nR: I heard that they were gone.\nD: You guys didn\u2019t have any conversation after being hit?\nD: Were you close enough to speak to one another or were you spread out?\nR: Spread out. I\u2019m not even sure of the number of casualties, I just know there were casualties.\nD: Do you remember lying on the ground with a shrapnel wound?\nR: I remember when the shrapnel hit, and somebody called the medic up.\nD: Were you standing at that time?\nR: No, crawling on our hands and knees.\nD: Oh, so you were advancing on your hands and stomach and it hit you in the left arm?\nR: Previous to that when we were on the line, we had some casualties, but have you ever heard of a buzz bomb? They were ram-jet powered bombs Germany fired mainly at England. The engine would stop and it would glide. The target was London but they didn\u2019t have the sophisticated guidance technology. One day, one broke over our line, and their warheads were wrapped in wire. When it exploded, it spread shrapnel. I remember poor old Ned Potter, and he was on line, and he was hit, right across here, and it made a couple marks across his penis.\nD: Was it deadly for Ned?\nR: He had to go back to the hospital, and he wasn\u2019t in the hospital I was in. This happened before I was there. But he finally came back and he was telling about it, and they put a curtain around his bed, and all the nurses and everybody would come over because they wanted to see the guy with the wounded penis.\nD: Were those buzz bombs pretty heavy-duty then?\nR: Oh yeah, they were huge, and I\u2019ve heard that was what it was that hit us. But I couldn\u2019t even tell you. If it was, it was one that didn\u2019t reach its destinations. It just fell short. But when it hit, it really exploded.\nD: How much of an area would it have taken off?\nR: Oh gosh, I have no idea.\nD: So, after you got wounded, troops took you across the pontoon bridge. Then, after you recovered and returned, heavy fighting still raged?\nR: Oh yeah, we took a lot of our casualties then. There we were destabilizing pockets of resistance.\nD: In the Ruhr Pocket, what was the largest group of Germans you captured?\nR: I didn\u2019t have to force any of them to surrender. I think the most I had to take back to the rear was two or three.\nD: What was it like walking with these Germans as prisoners? Were they tied up?\nR: No. You had your gun pointed at them out in front of you.\nD: Did you ever have any try to take off or some that wanted to escape?\nR: No. They were pretty anxious to get out of there.\nD: Any Germans speak English over there?\nR: Oh, probably in some of the camps. I don\u2019t remember. Some of them spoke pidgin English, some of us spoke pidgin German.\nD: Were many of your friends injured in the mop-up?\nR: Several of them were. A guy lost an eye. While we were going forward, I saw this sergeant crouched in front. He\u2019d direct the guys where he wanted them and about that time I heard a \u201ckerplunk.\u201d There was a sniper who had got him right in the gut. He just begged for us to shoot him. We called the medics, but he didn\u2019t make it back. Then, I think the same sniper shot at my unit. They missed me luckily but finally one of our guys figured out where he was.\nD: Dad mentioned how you were out with a platoon, and a sniper was picking off guys and you had to play dead until nightfall.\nR: Well, that was the same time with this sniper.\nD: So it started with the sniper hitting your sergeant in the stomach, then did you guys all fall to the ground?\nR: Yes. We were all down, trying to get where we weren\u2019t targets.\nD: So, you got down and got away to the edge of things?\nR: Yeah, after they had neutralized the sniper, then they came out and evacuated.\nD: That sergeant got hit, and he was down a couple hours, and the medics came but he had to wait?\nR: There was some wait I don\u2019t remember how long it was. We were moving so fast, the memories go. What I should have done was kept a diary.\nD: Did you send letters to Grandma Maddy?\nR: Oh, yeah. There was a special mail that you could send back.\nD: About how often did you mail her?\nR: Madeline said it wasn\u2019t very often, but it seemed to me like it was quite often.\nD: So, what was the last German city you remember?\nR: Wurzburg is where we ended up. It was on the Main River. And that was after the war was over, and we were occupying. We were there for about two months after March of 1945. We also spent a lot of time occupying the town of Randersacker waiting to be transferred to Japan.\nD: And that\u2019s where you heard about the bomb?\nR: And when Roosevelt died.\nD: What was it like occupying the town?\nR: We did guard duty.\nD: Were the residents unhappy?\nR: Yes. We would take over homes for billets. We\u2019d take over two or three buildings to sleep, like barracks, and we had our mess hall. And we\u2019d go into Wurzburg for assigned duties. After they dropped the bomb, the war was over as far as we were concerned.\nD: So, what happened next for you?\nR: From there we went to what they called \u201ccigarette camps,\u201d where we were deployed back to the U.S. They were back in France. Before the bomb, we were told we would be shipped from Germany through the Panama Canal to Japan. But that was only rumor. So when the war was over, we were redeployed to the cigarette camps. And from there we were assigned points according to how many days we were in combat, how many days we were overseas, and they added them up until you could be shipped back overseas.\nD: Did you have to wait around long?\nR: I must have waited around. The war ended in the spring\u2014May 8, 1945\u2014and I got back in November.\nD: Were you eager to get home?\nR: Sure, everybody was. I wish I kept a diary. We didn\u2019t do much of that. I didn\u2019t, at least, and I don\u2019t think many of the guys did.\nD: Did you run across any concentration camps while you were in Germany?\nR: Yes. Our unit relieved one. We came in and opened it up. They made the mistake of opening the gates, and these inmates went nuts over the countryside and were going into farms and picking up rabbits and anything they could get. I remember one had a rabbit by the neck and a bayonet. It was pretty horrible. Then, at night, you\u2019d see all these little fires around where they were squatting.\nD: Was it like a refugee camp all around?\nR: Eventually, when they rounded them up again. For a while they were on their own.\nD: Were you aware of the concentration camps?\nD: What was your role on the liberation of the camp?\nR: Support troops.\nD: What was the atmosphere when you heard the first atomic bomb was dropped?\nR: Relief. The war was ending for all practical purposes.\nD: Was there a different attitude from the first to the second bomb?\nR: I don\u2019t remember. It just meant there was a good chance we wouldn\u2019t be going to Japan. When the war ended in Europe, the war was still going on in Japan, and they were still sending troops in to meet the Japanese. After the bombs dropped and they surrendered, there was no need for the big armies of Europe to go to Japan. Then the problem of redeployment came up, and we went from Germany to the cigarette camps in France before we were shipped out and landed in New York. When you think of it, there were 12 to 13 million people in uniform. There was always something going on. There were huge movements of people.\nD: You have a lot of medals. What are they from?\nR: Most of those were for campaigns and a Purple Heart. We also got a unit citation from Belgium for our defense of Belgium before and after the Bulge.\nD: Was it pleasant in France after the war ended?\nR: No. It was cold. We had these big barracks and cots. Are you familiar with meat wrapping paper? We\u2019d sleep on these cots, and the cold would come from underneath, and it was bitter. So, we\u2019d go down to the meat market and get rolls of the meat wrapping paper and make them a pile thick to insulate the cots. I remember that, but everything moved so fast.\nPosted in: History, Lifestyle\nTopics: 2nd Infantry Division, 99th Infantry Division, Ardennes Forest, army, Army Specialized Training Program, ASTP, Battle of the Bulge, Belgium, Buchenbach, Camp Maxey Texas, Doug Meigs, England, F.

        "raw_content": "My copy: paperback, from Book Depository\nCarly has dropped out of uni to spend her days surfing and her nights working as a cook in a Manly caf\u00e9. Surfing is the one thing she loves doing \u2026 and the only thing that helps her stop thinking about what happened two years ago at schoolies week.\nAnd then Carly meets Ryan, a local at the break, fresh out of jail. When Ryan learns the truth, Carly has to decide. Will she let the past bury her? Or can she let go of her anger and shame, and find the courage to be happy?\nI\u2019ve heard of Raw Blue several times from friends who raved about it, and said it was exceptionally good Aussie fiction. Of course, as with most of these good Aussie fiction, it was kind of hard to acquire a copy, so I was really, really glad when this was picked up by a UK publisher so it was available via Book Depository. I picked up Raw Blue because I was headed for a trip to the beach with my colleagues, where there were chances to surf (which we didn\u2019t really do). Plus I have been craving for some good contemporary YA book from all the serious, adult books I\u2019ve been reading back then.\nCarly quit university to spend her days surfing in the morning and working as a cook in a cafe in the evening. She keeps to herself, and to her surfing, because it was the only thing that could help her forget about what happened two years ago in school. Then Carly meets Ryan, who seems to be attracted to her. She finds herself drawn to him, but her past is stopping her. Can she let go of all the pain from what happened to her and move forward, if it means being truly happy?\nCarly was kind of hard to get into because she\u2019s so\u2026rough. So angry. So alone. For all the good reasons, too, because of what happened to her. But that\u2019s it, she\u2019s so rough. And in pain. I think in the course of Raw Blue , I felt more sympathy for the people around her who tried to reach out to her \u2013 Danny, Hannah and Ryan. They seem like truly good people, and the ones that you would want to have when you\u2019re stuck in darkness and would bring you out only if you let them. I thought Danny was especially endearing, with his synesthesia and how he just assumed he was friends with Carly from the start.\nRyan was just as rough around the edges, and it took me a while to figure out if I liked him or not. I thought Janice\u2018s description about hm and his relationship with Carly was described perfectly: \u201c\u2026and then there\u2019s Ryan, who looks at Carly and thinks she\u2019s a good thing.\u201d I think that\u2019s what we need sometimes \u2014 someone who looks at us and sees us as something good, even if we cannot see it for ourselves.\nThere were some stellar lines in the book, too. Some of my favorites:\nMy happiness is crunchy. Snapping, crackling and popping in the sun. (p. 143)\nI didn\u2019t pick them, they just turned up in my life, and I\u2019m really glad. I think this and I\u2019m suddenly struck down with gratitude for all the things this place has given me. The break, the ever-changing moods of the ocean and the best surfs I\u2019ve ever had. Tonight my world is a bubble. Clear, round, perfect and fragile. (p. 154)\nYou just have to see those times for what they have \u2013 a chance to look down at your life. And when you do, you see it\u2019s a skin made up of shiny little moments. (p. 288)\nI liked Raw Blue. Perhaps not with the same intensity as other readers did, but I liked it. When I finished reading this, I was a bit \u201cmeh\u201d, but now that I revisited it to write this review, I realized that I did like it more than I thought I did. :) This is good contemporary YA (or really, not so much YA since the characters are a bit older), and I\u2019m really, really glad this is easier to get now than before. I look forward to reading more of Kirsty Eagar\u2019s books. :)\nPosted in: Reviews \\ Tagged: 2012, 3 stars, Aussie, Australian, contemporary, Kirsty Eagar, NA, New Adult, YA",

        "raw_content": "CONNECTIONS Celebrity births, TV cooking shows, child friendly workplaces...Dr Elizabeth Reid Boyd finds motherhood is making a comeback. ook around you. She\u2019s everywhere. Some women have simply surrendered. They\u2019ve returned to the chaise longue, thumbing cookbooks instead of going to the gym. They\u2019ve crumbled and made cookies. For some, it\u2019s more a mood, an attitude, a desire, the covert purchase of an apron. For others, it\u2019s more unpleasant, like a close encounter with a body snatcher. L However it\u2019s experienced, there\u2019s been a feminine archetype shift. There\u2019s certainly something afoot. The goddess is dancing. But which goddess? In ancient Greek and Roman mythology there were many gods and goddesses with different human qualities and characteristics. According to Jean Shinola Bolen, author of Goddesses in Everywoman, the diverse characteristics of goddesses can be seen in changes in women\u2019s lives over the last 50 years. Bolen says that mid 20th century \u2018We\u2019re in the throes of maternal Demeter madness.\u2019 Western culture provided enormous support for Hera, the goddess of marriage, and the archetype of wife. This was the era of Doris Day movies and post war pairing. But during the heyday of feminism\u2019s second wave, from the 1960s to the 1980s, Artemis, known by the Romans as Diana, goddess of the hunt and the moon, personified the independent, achievement-oriented feminine spirit. Feminist leader Gloria Steinem refers to Artemis as the \u201cbig sister\u201d embodied by the sisterhood of the second wave. The infl uence of Hera and Artemis, of wife and independent warrior-woman, seems to have waned in the last decade. If there is a goddess in action today, it is the domestic goddess Demeter, the Greek goddess of plenty, and a powerful maternal archetype. Demeter, known to the Romans as Ceres, presided over the harvest. She was portrayed as a beautiful matronly woman with hair as golden as wheat. Demeter represents the maternal instinct, which can be fulfi lled through pregnancy or providing physical, psychological or spiritual nourishment. Demeter is warm and generous, providing food and bounty.

        "title": "Sharenting: Parents Must Stop Posting about Their Kids on Social Media",
        "raw_content": "Sharenting: Why Parents Must Stop Sharing Everything about Their Kids on Social Media\n| Jan 4, 2017 | Parents Articles\n\u201cAll those baby photos you post on Facebook and Instagram are cute, but how will they affect your kids 10 years from now?\u201d\nIf you\u2019re in your mid-20\u2019s, 30\u2019s, or even 40\u2019s, you probably know someone who\u2019s guilty of sharenting. It could be a friend, someone in your family, or maybe even you. As people share more about their life with the entire world, they also share cute/funny photos and videos of their child.\nAlthough it may not seem like it now, posting too many things about your child on social media could be detrimental to them and the rest of society. Social media networks like Facebook and Instagram don\u2019t prepare you for the future, or tell you how social media posts about your kids could impact them later on in life. So we\u2019re going to fill you in and tell you all you need to know about sharenting.\nWhat Is Sharenting (and Why Is it a Problem)?\nSharenting (also known as oversharenting) is a term used to describe parents\u2019 overuse of social media to share content of their children. Combining the words \u2018sharing\u2019 and \u2018parenting,\u2019 sharenting happens when you share too much information.\nNow, you may be thinking that you don\u2019t share too much information of your kids online (i.e. you just post the occasional picture of your baby sleeping, or your child\u2019s birthday). Fun photos are nice to have, but research from the European Cyber Crime Centre says you should still take caution. Photos taken on digital devices contain hidden data, such as the time, date and location, and this data can be cracked and may place the child at risk. Even if you remove these threats and tighten up your privacy settings, these photos and videos become public property once shared online.\nOnce they\u2019re shared online, hackers and online predators can use those photos and do whatever they want with them. In extreme instances, parental sharing of children\u2019s information has led to a new phenomenon called \u201cdigital kidnapping,\u201d where people consume all the information you posted about your child and use it for malicious intentions. Some pretend your child is related to them, while others pretend they are the child.\nHow Big Is the Sharenting Problem?\nSharenting has been happening for a while, and it now happens everywhere around the world. However, it\u2019s more relevant to those living in places where people have unlimited access to the Internet and the majority of the population uses social media.\nTake the Western World, for example. According to a 2010 survey conducted by AVG, 81 percent of children under the age of two years old currently have some kind of digital profile or footprint, with images of them posted online. 92 percent of American children already have an online presence at that age, compared to 73% of children in the EU5 (UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain).\nEven more appalling, according to a 2015 survey by the University of Michigan C.S. Mott Children\u2019s Hospital National Poll on Children\u2019s Health, 51% of respondents said they had given out information that could be used to identify a child\u2019s whereabouts. This makes it easier for predators to trace a child\u2019s location.\nThese things undoubtedly happen in the Arab World, as well.\nWhy Do Parents \u2018Sharent\u2019?\nContrary to popular belief, parents who share too much information about their kids on social media (a.k.a. sharents) do not necessarily do for it because they are self-centered. The #1 reason why they do it is because social media is a platform that makes them feel like they\u2019re not alone and/or missing out in activities with their family and friends.\nIn a world where we\u2019re interconnected, raising a child can be isolating. Parents can\u2019t do the same things they used to do when they were childless. By living through their child\u2019s achievements, posting images and videos helps bridge the gap and share those joyful moments with family and friends.\nThe Story of a Teen Suing Her Parents over Photos\nWhen she turned 18, she sued her parents for posting these photos on Facebook.\nAccording to news reports, the 18-year-old claims that her parents posted over 500 images of her childhood to over 700 people on social media. Her parents have refused to take the photos down, claiming that since they\u2019re the ones who took the pictures he has the right to publish them.\nTheir court date takes place in November 2016, and according to an Austrian lawyer, \u201c[She] will win if it can be proven the photos violated her rights to a personal life.\u201d Furthermore, the parents may end up having to pay compensation to their daughter as well as her legal costs.\nTips on How Parents Can Avoid Sharenting\n1. Don\u2019t post pictures, videos, or information of your child on social media that might compromise your child now or in the future.\n2. Only post pictures and videos online that you wouldn\u2019t mind any family member or friend posting on their own timeline; once you give someone access to your photo/video, they can do whatever they want with it.\n3. Make sure all your social media privacy settings are set accordingly.\n4. Don\u2019t associate your child\u2019s name with their birthday, school, address, phone number, or anything that you wouldn\u2019t post on your own profile.\n5. Turn off your geo-location service when taking pictures or videos on your phone.\n6. If you have a child who is old enough to have discussions about online issues, ask them for their consent before you post a photo or video of them. Discover the Internet together!\nThe take-home message is simple: think before you post. Be considerate of whether your child would like to see that picture on social media 10 years from now. We always tell our kids to think before we post. Parents (and all adults) should set the example by doing the same, as well.\nAnd with that, we leave you with this video about sharenting.\nAlex j\ton May 1, 2018 at 8:22 am\nI don\u2019t think anyone has the right to post personal/sensitive content about their young children. It basically denies them of their individuality and anonymity for 1.\n2nd, you say most people do it because they don\u2019t want to be alone or miss out\u2026\u2026 in other words these parents are insecure.\nYour percentages are also wrong. For example 81 percent of children under 2 have a digital footprint. No, 81 percent of children who\u201ds parents use social.media have a footprint.\n99 percent of the time someone is posting stuff about their children (or mother things) is seeking validation, otherwise they would be too busy living their fulfilling lives, and absorbing genuine relationships. Have distant relatives??? Send pics in the mail, or personal email, or facetime\u2026it\u2019s more personable. Social media is disingenuous and nothing more than a stage for someone to receive cheap attention, all under the guise of \u201ccommunicating\u201d.",

        "title": "CIA's Push for Drone War Driven by Internal Needs - Antiwar.com Original",
        "raw_content": "CIA\u2019s Push for Drone War Driven by Internal Needs\nby Gareth Porter Posted on September 06, 2011 September 5, 2011\nWhen David Petraeus walks into the Central Intelligence Agency today, he will be taking over an organization whose mission has changed in recent years from gathering and analyzing intelligence to waging military campaigns through drone strikes in Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia.\nBut the transformation of the CIA did not simply follow the expansion of the drone war in Pakistan to its present level. CIA Director Michael Hayden lobbied hard for that expansion at a time when drone strikes seemed like a failed experiment.\nThe reason Hayden pushed for a much bigger drone war, it now appears, is that the CIA had already created a whole bureaucracy in the anticipation of such a war.\nDuring 2010, the CIA \u201cdrone war\u201d in Pakistan killed as many as 1,000 people a year, compared with the roughly 2,000 a year officially estimated to have been killed by the SOF \u201cnight raids\u201d in Afghanistan, according to a report in the Sept. 1 Washington Post.\nA CIA official was quoted by the Post as saying that the CIA had become \u201cone hell of a killing machine,\u201d before quickly revising the phrase to \u201cone hell of an operational tool.\u201d\nThe shift in the CIA mission\u2019s has been reflected in the spectacular growth of its Counterterrorism Center (CTC) from 300 employees in September 2001 to about 2,000 people today \u2014 10 percent of the agency\u2019s entire workforce, according to the Post report.\nThe agency\u2019s analytical branch, which had been previously devoted entirely to providing intelligence assessments for policymakers, has been profoundly affected.\nMore than one-third of the personnel in the agency\u2019s analytical branch are now engaged wholly or primarily in providing support to CIA operations, according to senior agency officials cited by the Post. And nearly two-thirds of those are analyzing data used by the CTC drone-war staff to make decisions on targeting.\nSome of that shift of internal staffing to support of the drone has followed the rise in the number of drone strikes in Pakistan since mid-2008, but the CIA began to lay the institutional basis for a bigger drone campaign well before that.\nCrucial to understanding the role of internal dynamics in CIA decisions on the issue is the fact that the drone campaign in Pakistan started off very badly. During the four years from 2004 through 2007, the CIA carried out a total of only 12 drone strikes in Pakistan, all supposedly aimed at identifiable high-value targets of al-Qaeda and its affiliates.\nThe George W. Bush administration\u2019s policy on the use of drones was cautious in large part because the president of Pakistan, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, was considered such a reliable ally that the administration was reluctant to take actions that would risk destabilizing his regime.\nThus relatively tight constraints were imposed on the CIA in choosing targets for drone strikes. They were only to be used against known \u201chigh-value\u201d officials of al-Qaeda and their affiliates in Pakistan, and the CIA had to have evidence that no civilians would be killed as a result of the strike.\nThose first 12 strikes killed only three identifiable al-Qaeda or Pakistani Taliban figures, But despite the prohibition against strikes that would incur \u201ccollateral damage,\u201d the same strikes killed a total of 121 civilians, as revealed by a thorough analysis of news media reports.\nA single strike against a madrassa on Oct. 26, 2006, that killed 80 local students accounted for two-thirds of the total of civilian casualties.\nDespite that disastrous start, however, the CIA had quickly become deeply committed internally to building a major program around the drone war. In 2005, the agency had created a career track in targeting for the drone program for analysts in the intelligence directorate, the Post article revealed.\nThat decision meant that analysts who chose to specialise in targeting for CIA drone operations were promised that they could stay within that specialty and get promotions throughout their careers. Thus the agency had made far-reaching commitments to its own staff in the expectation that the drone war would grow far beyond the three strikes a year and that it would continue indefinitely.\nBy 2007, the agency realized that, in order to keep those commitments, it had to get the White House to change the rules by relaxing existing restrictions on drone strikes.\nThat\u2019s when Hayden began lobbying President George W. Bush to dispense with the constraints limiting the targeting for drone attacks, according to the account in New York Times reporter David Sanger\u2019s book The Inheritance. Hayden asked for permission to carry out strikes against houses or cars merely on the basis of behavior that matched a \u201cpattern of life\u201d associated with al-Qaeda or other groups.\nIn January 2008, Bush took an unidentified first step toward the loosening of the requirements that Hayden sought, but most of the restrictions on drone strikes remained in place. In the first six months of 2008, only four strikes were carried out.\nIn mid-2008, however, Director of National Intelligence Mike McConnell returned from a May 2008 trip to Pakistan determined to prove that the Pakistani military was covertly supporting Taliban insurgents \u2014 especially the Haqqani network \u2014 who were gaining momentum in Afghanistan.\nA formal assessment by McConnell\u2019s staff making that case was produced in June and sent to the White House and other top officials, according to Sanger. That forced Bush, who had been praising Musharraf as an ally against the Taliban, to do something to show that he was being tough on the Pakistani military as well as on the Afghan insurgents who enjoyed safe havens in northwest Pakistan.\nBush wanted the drone strikes to focus primarily on the Afghan Taliban targets rather than al-Qaeda and its Pakistani Taliban allies. And according to Sanger\u2019s account, Bush quickly removed all of the previous requirements for accurate intelligence on specific high-value targets and for assurances against civilian casualties.\nReleased from the original constraints on the drone program, the CIA immediately increased the level of drone strikes in the second half of 2008 to between four and five per month on average.\nAs Bob Woodward\u2019s account in Obama\u2019s Wars of internal discussions in the early weeks of the Barack Obama White House shows, there were serious doubts from the beginning that it could actually defeat al-Qaeda.\nBut Leon Panetta, Obama\u2019s new CIA director, was firmly committed to the drone war. He continued to present it to the public as a strategy to destroy al-Qaeda, even though he knew the CIA was now striking mainly Afghan Taliban and their allies, not al-Qaeda.\nIn his first press conference on Feb. 25, 2009, Panetta, in an indirect but obvious reference to the drone strikes, said that the effort to destabilize al-Qaeda and destroy its leadership \u201chave been successful.\u201d\nUnder Panetta, the rate of drone strikes continued throughout 2009 at the same accelerated pace as in the second half of 2008. And in 2010 the number of strikes more than doubled from 53 in 2009 to 118.\nThe CIA finally had the major drone campaign it had originally anticipated.\nTwo years ago, Petraeus appeared to take a somewhat skeptical view of drone strikes in Pakistan. In a secret assessment as CENTCOM commander on May 27, 2009, which was leaked to the Washington Post, Petraeus warned that drone strikes were fueling anti-U.S. sentiments in Pakistan.\nNow, however, Petraeus\u2019s personal view of the drone war may no longer be relevant. The CIA\u2019s institutional interests in continuing the drone war may have become so commanding that no director could afford to override those interests on the basis of his own analysis of how the drone strikes affect U.S. interests.\nPrevious Previous post: Iran Considers PJAK Offer As Shelling Kills Iraqi Civilian\nNext Next post: Post-9/11: All Eyes on You",

        "raw_content": "Home > Finance & Planning > Get your finances sorted > Retirement planning > Women's retirement\nWomen reach retirement with a lot less money than men but a little planning can make a big difference.\nThere is good and bad news when it comes to women as they get older: we live longer than men, but reach retirement with a lot less money.\nThere are all kinds of reasons for that, but take heart, because that means there are also all kinds of solutions.\nIn a nutshell, women generally earn less than men, often when doing the same job; we take time out to have children so spend fewer years working; we are more likely to be lone parents and suffer more severe financial consequences when relationships end.\nThere\u2019s a phrase that when women find themselves in a hole we plant flowers in it, while men dig. So when money is tight, women make cuts instead of increasing what is coming in, men look for ways to improve their income.\nWomen tend to take fewer risks, partly because we are less confident: in financial surveys we are far more likely than men to answer \u2018don\u2019t know\u2019. As job applicants, a man will apply for a job if he has about 40% of the experience needed, a woman won\u2019t unless she has 80%.\nAnd I\u2019ve met some women who invoke the universe, relying on it to provide for them instead of doing what the men do and sitting down with a calculator to take a cold, hard look at what is in front of them.\nThis matters so much because women live, on average, into their 80s, five years longer than men. Our children will live into their 90s and many people born now will live past 100.\nWe\u2019re not just living longer, but stay healthier and want to do more, so 65 today is very different from 50 years ago and it will be different again in 50 years\u2019 time.\nYou may have daughters, grand-daughters or younger female relatives and are worried about how they will manage financially with all that lies ahead.\nHappily, there are ideas you can pass on and most of them are plain common sense.\nThere\u2019s a thing called compound interest: it means money makes money. You earn interest on your money and as it grows, you earn interest on the interest. The earlier you start saving the better, but even in retirement your savings should be working for you.\nIf you are signing to borrow money and you don\u2019t understand how much it is going to cost, or the deal, or the interest rate, then stop the sales person and ask them to go through it again, and again, until you are completely clear. That\u2019s their job and that\u2019s what they are paid for.\nFalling in love: relationship property laws. It doesn\u2019t feel very romantic to thrust a relationship property agreement under someone\u2019s nose but if you own your house and meet a new partner then you need to get them to sign an agreement, so you can protect yourself.\nDon\u2019t think everyone else has got it sussed: it is easy to see the neighbours with a new car and assume they have their money sorted, but the car might just be a giant loan on wheels.\nDon\u2019t worry about what anyone else is doing but focus on what you can do: save little and long. Buying lots of little things adds up to spending lots of money. In the same way, lots of little savings build up to a big chunk for your future.\nSo tell your daughters to put just a bit away, once a month, and they\u2019ll be stunned by the results, thanks to the beauty of compound interest.\nAnd remind them that in the future they will still be the same person. Pay it forward: buy themselves something in the future, a glass of wine for example, so when they retire they can raise a glass to their younger self \u2013 and to you - and say \u2018thanks for that\u2019.\nThis video from the Commission for Financial Capability will help you understand KiwiSaver \u2013 how you invest and what to do with your investment when you turn 65.",

        "raw_content": "\u201cYou\u2019d better be good or Santa won\u2019t bring you anything for Christmas!\u201d Many a parent has used these words to warn a child that Santa sees all and knows all. It\u2019s usually used by parents to get their excited children to behave in the days and weeks prior to Santa\u2019s arrival. According to the Christmas song, Santa \u201cknows if you are sleeping. He knows when you\u2019re awake. He knows if you\u2019ve been bad or good; so be good for goodness sake.\u201d\nHow would you feel if someone really knew everything about you? What if they knew your strengths and weaknesses; your troubles; your most private thoughts? That might trouble us if the one who knew all this was not our friend. If it were someone who liked us, it would not bother us as much. What if the person who knew everything about you was someone who loved you with all their heart; someone who cared about you deeply and could help you in any way needed?\nChristmas announces the arrival of someone who can do all this and more. Christmas is about the birth of Jesus, God\u2019s dear Son. Because Jesus is God, he knows when you\u2019ve been \u201cbad or good\u201d \u2013 \u201cnaughty or nice.\u201d Jesus knows when you\u2019re tired and frustrated, excited or disappointed. He knows and understands everything that is going on in your life. He knows you better than you know yourself.\nAre you facing problems? Jesus understands. He was born in poverty and had to flee from King Herod, who was trying to kill him. Are you being treated unfairly? Is a friend turning against you? Jesus was betrayed and forsaken by his own disciples. He was denied by Peter and betrayed by Judas. He was beaten and put to death by those whom he came to save. God is not oblivious to our problems. Jesus knows what is going on in the world and more importantly what\u2019s going on in each of our lives.\n\u201cSanta knows.\u201d These words might bring fear to the heart of a naughty child hoping to get gifts at Christmas. \u201cJesus knows.\u201d These words bring comfort and courage to those who believe in him. They bring comfort because God loves us whether we have been naughty or nice. He doesn\u2019t like it when we do wrong. He hates the sins we commit. But, God loves the sinner. He showed that at the cross.\nGod knows and has the ability to do something about our situations. He can remove our problems, or he can help us cope with them. Even sin and death are no match for Jesus.\nMerry Christmas! Through Christ that\u2019s more than a hollow wish. We can have a merry Christmas because God is on the job. He gives us the best of presents also, his own Son.",

        "raw_content": "\u2190 Enrique Villanueva Interview\nMessage to Humanity: Interview with Ricardo Gonz\u00e1lez in Argentina \u2192\nAs in the movie CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND, I was invited.\nThis 1977 film began my life as a researcher because I went to find the father of Ufology, Astronomer Dr. J Allen Hynek, and I worked with him for 6 years until he died. So it is logical that the film invitation would be followed by a invitation to experience actual contact 34 years later on September 21st, 2014.\nRicardo Gonz\u00e1lez and Paola Harris at Mount Shasta, September 2014\nThis past year, I was researching Contact from the Stars and Spacebrother / Human-type alien interactions when I encountered Ricardo Gonz\u00e1lez from Peru. I interviewed him for my Italian magazine X-TIMES.\nHis Extraterrestrial contact is the three meter tall, muscular Spaceman named ANTAREL from the Alpha Centauri system.\nRicardo is perhaps one the most prepared, brilliant researchers in the world. He is impressive with his commitment to world peace and his search for truth and his many travels around the world. He is a Peruvian who lives in Argentina with his companion SOL SANFELICE , who has the singing voice of an Angel.\nRicardo has a group of 7 good friends, including SOL SANFELICE, his companion, as well as Corinna Muzi, who was my Spanish interpreter because she speaks Italian, my first language. These friends travel with Ricardo and recently returned with him from ALTAI in Russia. They all were very aware of the precarious, geopolitical situation that interests, not only us, but the star people. In three days on Mount Shasta, we surrounded the planet with light, chanting OM and meditating and praying for peace.\nRicardo and Sol, Mt. Shasta, September, 2014\nIn August of this year, Ricardo wrote me that he was holding his annual Mount Shasta meditation seminar and that Antarel asked I be present. Ricardo later clarified that Antarel\u2019s invitation for me to come to Shasta was first received by him in Altai on August 2, then later confirmed in a new message received in Spain on August 10, which Ricardo forwarded to me. My translation of the invitation is, \u201cGet ready for Shasta. We will reveal ourselves and you will invite Paola Harris. We do this in order to keep supporting your work and spreading the message to promote more real vision of our intentions of helping the human being. We are one\u2026\u201d \u2014 Antarel (Message received in Malaga, Spain, August 10th, 2014.)\nI have always wanted to go to Mount Shasta, and for three days that I was there with 165 Spanish speaking participants. It was an emotional experience. We were sleeping in tents under the stars, fasting \u2014 with little food \u2014 to raise the vibration, and meditating on WORLD PEACE most of each day. It was here that I experienced a life changing moment. I was quite content to be part of this wonderful group of Hispanic light workers, knowing that Extraterrestrial craft was flying over our heads \u2014 at times captured by Ricardo\u2019s night vision equipment. At 20:30 hours, two UFOs flew parallel over our heads as predicted [see video above]. It was an omen of things to come.\nAround 22.30 PM, the night of the Autumn Equinox, Ricardo asked us to do a most unusual exercise. We were to chant OM in the Sand Flats under the stars, not using any flashlights, with no full moon in total darkness. We were then to disperse and walk in a limited area for one half hour. In that time we were to select a small rock to place on the peace flag which was created out of stones in the main camp site. Then we were to return to our chairs.\nI noticed my interpreter, Corinna, was missing. It was that moment that Ricardo rushed over to me and said \u201cAntarel is here. My people are with him, do you want this contact? Can you handle it? Can you come to the Forest Area with me?\u201d\nIt was a terrifying, split second decision that would change my reality forever. My heart was beating very fast.\nAntarel had invited 2 more ladies and all three of us held hands, walking toward a corner of the dark forest on Mt Shasta. Ricardo shouted back to his group to continue meditating with a friend, who he put in charge. It was quite unexpected for him as well. I was on the right side of the group and as long as I my right hand was in the hand of the other woman, I felt safe. From far away, I saw a light mist rise from the ground, on the left side of a spruce tree. Ricardo explained to me that a porthole had opened called a Xendra.\nThe forest location of CONTACT\nI then saw Corinna and, next to her, Sol Sanfelice, whose arms were stretched out. She was standing still, looking at at a three meter giant in the woods. Sol was inching her way towards him because that was the first time she had seen him in the physical form. She told me later she wanted to embrace him. I was asked to drop the hand of the woman on the right. As I stood in the darkness, that was perhaps the most terrifying moment of all, that feeling of being alone. I could hear Ricardo chanting in the background, as he was not to be part of this encounter.\nIt was an invitation of CLOSE ENCOUNTERS and a moment in time that transformed a human like me to awareness that the forest, the people, the stars, Antarel and the group were ONE!\nAntarel spoke in a language I could not understand. It was an echoing voice, much like a radio transmission. I tried so hard to hear his words that were coming from high on the trees to the right of me. Two words were very very clear \u201cTHANK YOU\u201d! They echoed in perfect English. They were perfect and clear and came in an Echo.\nWe all felt him, some saw him\u2026and he spoke to me. It was Contact. \u201cThank you\u201d was for all of us. It was what this phenomena is all about. There is no separation.\nAs terrifying as the darkness, the forest and the situation was, it is that moment which changes everything. I remember when I first met Colonel Corso in Roswell, New Mexico in 1997. He told me that he had contact with an Alien being in Red Canyon and that the ET being asked the colonel to come aboard the ship. The Colonel asked him \u201cWhat do you have to offer me?\u201d The Extraterrestrial being answered \u201cA NEW WORLD, IF YOU CAN HANDLE IT.\u201d\nSeventeen years later, Ricardo Gonz\u00e1lez asks Paola Harris,\u201cCan you handle this contact tonight?\u201d It comes full circle in the human experience of my research.\nThe answer is \u201cYES!\u201d Yes to contact and yes to the Paradigm Shift.\nGrazias, Ricardo and your friends.\nThank You to Antarel.\nI recently found out that there were numerous transmissions about the encounter, including a psychic transmission on September 16th to one of Ricardo\u2019s friends, Alejandro, who drew on paper what he saw. There are 3 drawings depicting this very event with my name, marked \u201cHarris,\u201d standing next to that spruce tree in the exact spot I was standing on September 21st [see below]. In Ricardo\u2019s words, \u201cRaymundo was the first of us to perceive the Xendra, then I confirmed it based on my personal experiences. After that, the group immediately began receiving information about the Xendra. Even before the drawings of Alejandro, the group already had information about the portal and an idea of you who would cross. From the beginning, we all knew you were the chief guest for that Xendra. The drawings by Alejandro were a later pipeline that provided details.\u201d\nIt was all pre-programmed. All I needed to do was to say \u201cYes!\u201d",

        "raw_content": "The Metro proposal for Pune has been mired in controversy from the very beginning. The DMRC Report is not only found wanting on many issues, but even the case for a Metro has not been made. (Parisar has sent a letter to the Urban Development Secretary, Govt. of Maharashtra to this effect) This has, not surprisingly, led to various citizen groups (under the banner of Pune Metro Jagruti Abhiyan, PMJA) taking up the issue and essentially saying \u2013 we need answers to questions before the Metro proposal is approved by the General Body of the PMC.\nWhat however did come as a surprise, is the reaction to this debate by one of Pune\u2019s leading dailies, Sakal. They essentially took the position that the debate over the Metro proposal is a waste of time and that the individuals/groups raising concerns were not qualified to do so. Sakal has traditionally supported discussion and debate and upheld the principle of people\u2019s participation in public policy discourse, so this came as a rude shock.\nParisar has responded to the specific issues raised by Sakal, (for english click here) and also posed questions that we feel any lay person is likely to raise. We were also happy that others have responded to this attempt to stifle public discourse. Here are letters from Shri Prabhakar Karandikar (erstwhile Divisional Commissioner of Pune) and Shri Prashant Kothadiya (who worked for many years with Sakal).\nBut unfortunately, none of these were published by Sakal, thus furthering the impression that it was presenting a one-sided view of the debate.\nWe\u2019d be happy to hear your thoughts on this issue too.",

        "title": "Pune Bus Day - Analysis and Lessons",
        "raw_content": "The media group, Sakal, took the initiative to plan a \u2018Pune Bus Day\u2019 to highlight and publicize the need for a better bus service, bring together a wide array of stakeholders to support the effort and run almost twice the number of buses on November 1, 2012 with an appeal to people to use the city bus instead of their own vehicle on that day. The whole event was planned in partnership with PMPML, the city bus service provider. Parisar conducted a couple of independent surveys (user feedback survey and traffic count survey) to assess the impact of the event. The results show an overall high level of satisfaction with the concept, but as expected, there was only a slight decrease in the other traffic on that day.\nParisar has in the past urged the Pune Municipal Corporation to consider having a \u2018Car Free Day\u2019 (in the context of Indian cities, this would imply both a car and two-wheeler free day). The city of Pune has however not been keen to take up such a project, mainly for the fear of a backlash from the already large segment of population that is addicted to personal motorized modes of transport.\nIn this context the effort of the Sakal media group was to try and encourage the use of public transport on one day, by launching a massive campaign, while not mandating it, since such authority only vests with the city.\nParisar decided measure traffic at two main spots in the city on the Bus day itself, as well as three days prior to it, to quantify the change in traffic. This was done using video filming and then counting the traffic.\nSample 5 minute clip taken on Ganeshkhind road (morning) on 1st November (Pune Bus Day)\nThere was generally a 5-10% decrease in other motorized traffic (other than in the morning at the Paud road location)\nParisar also conducted individual surveys of people travelling by bus as well as by private vehicles to get feedback on what people thought about the Pune Bus Day experience.\nRegular bus users thought the experience was generally better on the Pune Bus Day.\nThose using the bus specifically for Pune bus day also thought largely that the experience was positive.\nFor data collected from the surveys, click here.\nA detailed report of the findings can be downloaded for further details.",

        "title": "Sustainable Options for Youth: US weaponized drones are killing civilians",
        "raw_content": "From last weekend's edition of The New York Times:\nQuestions on Drone Strike Find Only Silence\nT.J. Kirkpatrick for The New York Times\nFaisal bin Ali Jaber, a Yemeni who lost relatives in a drone strike, visited Washington this week.\nBy ROBERT F. WORTH and SCOTT SHANE\nWASHINGTON \u2014 Standing on the marble floor just outside the House chamber, Faisal bin Ali Jaber looked lost in the human river of hard-charging lobbyists, members of Congress and staffers. It is not every day that a victim of American drone strikes travels 7,000 miles to Washington to look for answers.\nDrone Strikes\u2019 Risks to Get Rare Moment in the Public Eye(February 6, 2013)\nFaisal bin Ali Jaber, center, with Medea Benjamin of Code Pink, left, and Baraa Shiban, who investigates drone strikes.\nNow he stood face to face with Representative Adam B. Schiff \u2014 a California Democrat who had carved out 20 minutes between two votes on natural gas policy \u2014 to tell his story: how he watched in horror last year as drone-fired missiles incinerated his nephew and brother-in-law in a remote Yemeni village.\nNeither of the victims was a member of Al Qaeda. In fact, the opposite was true. They were meeting with three Qaeda members in hopes of changing the militants\u2019 views.\n\u201cIt really puts a human face on the term \u2018collateral damage,\u2019 \u201d said Mr. Schiff, looking awed after listening to Mr. Jaber.\nA gaunt civil engineer with a white mustache, Mr. Jaber spent the past week struggling to pierce the veil of secrecy and anonymity over the Obama administration\u2019s drone strike program, which targets militants in the hinterlands of Afghanistan, Pakistan and Yemen. He did not have much luck.\nHe met at length with a half-dozen members of Congress, as well as officials from the National Security Council and the State Department. Everywhere, he received heartfelt condolences. But no one has been able to explain why his relatives were killed, or why the administration is not willing to acknowledge its mistake.\nIt was an error with unusual resonance. Mr. Jaber\u2019s brother-in-law was a cleric who had spoken out against Al Qaeda shortly before the drone killed him. The nephew was a local policeman who had gone along in part to offer protection. The strike, in August 2012, drew widespread indignation in Yemen, and was documented in The New York Times and later by human rights groups, along with a number of other strikes that accidentally killed innocent people.\nA Yemeni counterterrorism official called Mr. Jaber hours after the strike to apologize for the mistake. Mr. Jaber wrote an open letter to President Obama, but received no answer. The same is true of a Pakistani family who lost a grandmother in a drone strike and visited Washington briefly late last month, in what appears to be the first such visit to Congress.\nIn May, Mr. Obama responded to rising criticism of the targeted killing program and acknowledged in a speech at the National Defense University in Washington that some innocent people had been killed. The president promised greater transparency, but the administration still refuses to discuss specific strikes or to apologize or pay compensation for strikes that went wrong. When American officials have offered estimates of civilian casualties in drone strikes, their numbers have been far lower than those given by research groups and journalists.\nMr. Jaber\u2019s visit \u2014 and that of the Pakistani family \u2014 comes as a congressional effort is building to force the administration\u2019s hand. Early this month, the Senate Intelligence Committee added to the annual intelligence policy bill a requirement for an annual report giving the number of \u201ccombatants\u201d and \u201cnoncombatant civilians\u201d killed or injured in the previous year in drone strikes outside conventional wars. The report would give only total numbers, not details of each strike or the names of those killed.\nMr. Schiff, who met Mr. Jaber on Wednesday, plans to sponsor a similar bill in the House.\nMr. Jaber\u2019s visit was sponsored by the peace group Code Pink, which organized an accompanying protest in front of the White House last week, and Reprieve, a human rights group based in London.\nUnlike some of the activists who embraced him and apologized to him wherever he went, Mr. Jaber strikes a very humble and unassuming attitude about his family\u2019s tragedy. He says he does not presume to pass judgment on the drone strike program itself, but wants acknowledgment and an apology.\n\u201cI learned two things,\u201d he said when asked to sum up his week in Washington. \u201cFirst, the American people and their organizations are very kind and well meaning, and the Congress members also were very sympathetic. But on the other side, there are politicians who seem to be trying to keep everything secret.\u201d\nMr. Jaber offers a harrowing account of the drone strike. It was the day after his son\u2019s wedding in his native village, Khashamir, and he was eating dinner at home with several relatives when they heard a whirring from the sky. Looking out the window, he and his relatives saw a flash, and then heard a series of terrific crashes, \u201cas if the whole mountain had exploded.\u201d The village erupted in panic.\nMr. Jaber\u2019s daughter, who was very close to the strike, was so traumatized that she did not get out of bed for three weeks, he said. The mother of one of the dead men went into a coma after she heard the news and died a month later.\nWhen Mr. Jaber arrived on the scene that night, less than a mile from his house, he found bits of charred human flesh spread on the ground, he said. It was not until two hours later, through the accounts of witnesses, that the identities of the dead men and what had happened to them became clear.\nMr. Jaber\u2019s brother-in-law, the imam, had been approached earlier that evening by three Qaeda militants who were angry about a speech the imam had delivered condemning terrorism. The imam reluctantly agreed to talk to the men, but just in case he was accompanied by Mr. Jaber\u2019s nephew, the policeman. The volley of missiles killed all five men.\nLike most Yemenis, Mr. Jaber deplores the influence of Al Qaeda in his country, which is one of the world\u2019s poorest. He fears that the drone strikes are fostering greater militancy and anger at America. But above all, he finds the administration\u2019s silence baffling.\nAt one point during his week in Washington, Mr. Jaber got a tour of the National Mall and other landmarks with another Yemeni who had been flown over for the visit, a young woman named Entesar al-Qadhi. Both of them said they were overwhelmed by the dignity and calm of the Mall, so different from the crowds and poverty of Yemen.\n\u201cThey have such a beautiful country here, such a beautiful city,\u201d Ms. Qadhi said as she strolled along. \u201cWhy do they need to go chasing someone with bombs in the desert?\u201d\nA version of this article appears in print on November 23, 2013, on page A1 of the New York edition with the headline: Questions on Drone Strike Find Only Silence.",

I also spotted a couple of large domed buildings as I looked in the direction of the prison, and yet again these weren't on my map...I shall have to look at a more up-to-date version online.\nThe next footpath took me right past Boston Park Farm as I made my way towards Branton.\nI soon heard the noise of an aeroplane coming in to land at the airport at Finningley.\nAlthough I didn't realise it at the time, the next part of the walk was only intended for brides, or maybe wedding parties generally: I didn't see this sign until I'd walked along the section it was referring to.\nI needed to pass through Branton for a few minutes before finding the lane that leads past the Yorkshire Wildlife Park - everything is well hidden behind walls and fences and so I could only take these photographs depicting the facilities and the animals.\nIt was only a short walk down to the main road at Bessacarr, from where I caught a bus back into town.\nLabels: Boston Park Farm, Doncaster Robin Hood Airport, Finningley Airport, Yorkshire Wildlife Park",

        "title": "Secularism in Bangladesh and Beyond Not Secular Enough for All \u2013 Perspective",
        "raw_content": "April , 2015 admin Issue, National\nIn the aftermath of the gruesome murder of the American-Bangladeshi blogger, Avijit Roy, at the campus of Bangladesh\u2019s leading university, questions regarding the nature and state of secularism in the Muslim majority country has surfaced. The images of the machete-hacked killing unfolding from my alma mater shocked me to the core. February is the month of book festivals at the University of Dhaka\u2019s campus and probably the most secure month, presence of security forces-wise. If the killing speaks of anything it is that the overall security situation in Bangladesh is falling apart.\nBangladesh is known as a broadly harmonious home of a largely devout Muslim majority and diverse religious minorities. The population is committed to democracy albeit consistent in choosing two battling Begums in turn as their chief executives since the early 90s\u2019. The nation is stumbling in institutionalizing peaceful democratic transitions of power, establishing rule of law, ensuring a free press and bringing an end to extrajudicial killings during both of the major coalitions\u2019 tenures. Amidst all these, Avijit Roy, a passionate preacher of atheism and scientism, was brutally killed and, not surprisingly, garnered extensive media coverage worldwide.\nIt would be interesting to consider why none from the ruling Awami League party went to the vigil for Avijit, despite their proclaimed commitment to secularism. Probably this is because this time Awami League wanted to remain politically correct and not repeat the \u2018mistake\u2019 of visiting another slain active atheist blogger\u2019s funeral on February, 2013. In this political correctness, no matter how unpleasant it might seem to our western taste, lies the nature of Bangladesh\u2019s collective and complex psyche, one that is different to western societies. Essential to understand is while Bangladeshis embrace all faiths and none, aggressions against faith are not comfortably received. While the nation mourned the death of Avijit, in attending his funeral the government likely feared the repercussions of seemingly upholding the blogger\u2019s anti-religious beliefs.\nThere is nothing wrong in discussing where Bangladesh\u2019s secularism stands after this murder, but, to an ordinary Bangladeshi citizen\u2013a teenage girl struggling to survive in a garments sweatshops, or a student from any of the thousands of traditional Madrasas\u2013the ideas of the European Enlightenment are simply alien, coming from a world, culture and history apart to which they do not belong. Additionally, thanks to the protagonists of Bangladeshi secularism who have used bullets and teargas, often against the religiously devout, to make their voice heard, now we can\u2019t help the fact that secularism is often synonymous with Islamophobia to the devoted masses.\nBangladesh is indeed secular in its centuries of coexistence among Hindus\u2019, Muslims\u2019, Christians and Buddhists\u2019. Undeniably, there have been challenges with minority persecution, but research illustrates that such violence has more to do with politics and vested economic interests within the political establishment than with religion.\nBangladesh became officially secular once again, after 1972, by the 15th constitutional amendment. However, the Awami League did not state in their 2008 election manifesto that they will impose secularism in the constitution because it has political costs. Crucially, if we want to evaluate the effectiveness of secularism we must consider its efficacy to protect the minorities and to stop persecution by the state. Does this official secularism improve the plight of the minorities? Probably, not. If the official nature of secularism in Bangladesh achieved anything at all then it added momentum to further polarization, because the opposition, which represents at least half the population, prefers a Muslim identity with a provision of protecting minorities, not a de jure secular identity. There should be no space for violence or hate speech in a democracy, period. At the same time we should be prepared to accept, if decided by popular mandate, when a country chooses not be exactly the way the west is secular.\nThere has been a plethora of secularizing experiments in Turkey, Egypt, Tunisia and elsewhere, the results of which are at least ambiguous. Sometimes they backfired and triggered further alienation and even more animosity between these nations and the west. So, it is probably high time we addressed the political aspirations of a nation upon its own terms rather than the superimposed terms of European Enlightenment.\nSecularism itself has very different branches and strands. The secularism in the US is very different from that of France, which is increasingly covering-up the \u2018new visibility\u2019 of its Muslim minority. Secularism, as pleasant as it might seem to a group of nation states who were born out of hundreds of years of sectarian war among differing denominations of Christianity, may have a very different connotation and historical experience to other nations who do not share the same historical, political, or economic background.\nTo the vast majority of Muslim countries secularism did not bring the promise of the separation of state and church and bidding a farewell to arms thereby. Rather, it came with dictators and a built in package of modernization of obvious colonizing flavor. So, oftentimes expectations to see Bangladesh and other Muslim majority countries in light of the historical metamorphosis that Western Europe went through might end up being just another rehearsal of the White Man\u2019s Burden.\nThe Writer is PhD Student/Graduate Teaching Assistant Department of Political Science of Texas Tech University",

        "raw_content": "P\u00e9ter Szab\u00f3 \u00bb Reviews in English \u00bb Muzsika - Recording - M\u00e1ty\u00e1s Seiber: \"To Poetry\"\nM\u00e1ty\u00e1s Seiber (1905-1960), after being a student of Kodaly at the Academy, spent 6 years in Germany and most of his later life in England. The compositions on this retrospective CD were so ingeniously selected that we feel they give a representative cross-section of the entire oeuvre. It consists both of pieces from the time of his academic studies and later compositions of different styles: beside study pieces there are folk song adaptations, artistic songs, a dodecaphonic composition and a Spanish-colour musical joke. All in all we get to know a characterful composer from this album who left behind thought-provoking, exciting and genuine works and who deservedly obtained his master, Kod\u00e1ly\u2019s high regard. He claimed already in 1925 that Seiber, walking in Mozart\u2019s footsteps, was the one who reached the nearest to the pure style of chamber music.\nThe earliest piece on the disc was born in 1922, so the Sarabande and Gigue is the composition of a seventeen-year-old Music Academy student with cello dominant. This use of style, or rather, this sensation is a reflection of the young man\u2019s Bach studies. Therefore it is difficult to say if the two-movement composition was written by someone with talent or what the young musician\u2019s conception really was. If we approach it from his later works we may recognize some characteristics \u2013 such as his commitment to melodiousness, to follow Bach\u2019s example and to play with musical styles \u2013 typical of the mature composer. The series of Pet\u00f6fi songs composed between 1922 and 1924 can be regarded as slightly more independent compositions. But here the influence of Kod\u00e1ly\u2019s works and concepts define everything. The choice of text already proves that: Seiber turns to the great Hungarian poet, Pet\u00f6fi and composes music on his folk poems. His models were probably the compositions of Kod\u00e1ly and the series entitled \u201dHungarian folk music\u201d notwithstanding that the harmonies of the movements show a great resemblance to the new-style Hungarian folk songs and also evoke the folk music tradition.\nThe first composition on the disc which is independent in spirit and technique alike is the 1925 Sonata da camera for violin and cello. With this piece it is indeed the intention which dominates; Seiber shows for the first time what complex structures and modern sounds he is capable of creating \u2013 especially in the 2nd movement. Although the choice of instruments evidently refers back to the Kod\u00e1ly Duo, the style is in many aspects very close to Bart\u00f3k\u2019s Sonata for two violins and cello, composed only a couple of years earlier. However, the pairing of the slow and quick evokes the atmosphere of the Bart\u00f3k rhapsodies. The constant presence of the two models shows us very clearly how shocking an experience Bart\u00f3k\u2019s and Kod\u00e1ly\u2019s modernism must have been for their generation. Not only did it give them directions but it also made it nearly impossible to compose in any different way. Seiber also, in the spirit of modernism, almost shows off dissonances. Yet if we examine the fabric of the music more closely, we can notice a number of Neo-baroque elements as well. On the one hand, the themes are defined by sequence formulas in Baroque style, on the other, the two instruments create a consistent counterpoint for two voices (and the occasional polyphony of the strings broaden it further into three or occasionally four voices). From this we can reach the conclusion that in the background of Seiber\u2019s contra-punctual thinking there was Ernst Kurth\u2019s contra-punctual book on Bach (1917) which deals with the characteristics of one and two line contrapunts and the polyphony of string instruments and which Kod\u00e1ly often used in teaching in that time.\nAlthough M\u00e1ty\u00e1s Seiber, having had left his home in 1925, turned to new music like jazz with great interest and the West European environment must also have had a strong impact on him, he seems to have remained loyal to the Kod\u00e1ly and Bart\u00f3k traditions even in the \u201840s. The Fantasy composed in 1940, which serves as a unique transition between the modern Western music and the Hungarian traditions, is a definite support for this view. Its atmosphere evokes Bart\u00f3k\u2019s Night music, and gives full ground to the lament topos so determinant in Hungarian music. Its sound is rather one of the modern music knowing no folk traditional roots \u2013 though not in terms of free twelve-note system or dodecaphony. Its harmonies, style and system of gestures are modern while its form is very much traditional (A-B-A form). At the same time, the fact that the folk song adaptations remained strong in his life-work demonstrate Seiber\u2019s commitment to the Hungarian traditions. The far from traditional tonality of the Four Greek Folk Songs composed in 1942 show a striking familiarity with Hungarian folk music. In addition, the Hungarian scales and the short steps themes typical of the instrumental folk music also appear in some place; in others the Romanian elements known from the Bart\u00f3k pieces receive emphasis. Seiber, following his models, constructs his cycle from the harmonic features of folk songs, principally from dissonances. (The semitone and the tritone play an important role particularly in the first song, in \u201dO, My Love\u201d It also gives stress to other exotic marks of Greek tunes. in \u201dEach Time, My Love, O Your Eyes are Dark and Beautiful\u201d.\nSeiber composed music for the English version and not for the ones in original language, which indicates that his source might have been an English publication and also that the folk song adaptations preserved their connections, once present in Hungary, to the chansons of the cabaret theaters. While the folk song adaptations of Bart\u00f3k and Kod\u00e1ly achieved a status in the high culture in Hungary, in Western Europe they seem to have remained part of a transitional musical practice; Seiber\u2019s 1945 composition Four French Folk Songs also reinforces this. In the center of the French song adaptations, which are far more joyous and simple than the Greek ones, stands the emphasis on tonality and the establishment of translucent accompaniment. These songs are the best to point out the easy, unstrained manner of composition and the natural virtuosity which was Seiber\u2019s own. The same ease can be found in the Introduction and Allegro (the dating is uncertain) written for cello and accordion. Here he transcribes a playful-funny Spanish-coloured composition while the accordion underlines the proximity of the cabaret genre.\nBut the To Poetry cycle of songs composed in 1952 and the Concert Piece for violin and piano dating from 1954 proves that M\u00e1ty\u00e1s Seiber remained open for serious genres too, moreover, he faced the compositional methods referred to as radical of the time. This cycle of songs, dedicated to Peter Pears, were composed for poems by Goethe, Shakespeare, an anonymous poet and William Dunbar. Following the Schumann archetypes, the cycle is framed by the musical adaptation of the Goethe poem in English translation. The piece is characterized by a very expressive musical language and Seiber plays with the duality of tonality and chromaticism all the way through. This gives space for the modernity familiar from the Chamber Sonata to develop, but here in terms of a free twelve-note system. The modern harmonies merge with archaic elements; in the Tears movement, for example, the counterpoint conjures Bach and the \u201dTimor mortis\u201d uses the tunes of the Dies irae. On the other hand, the Concert Piece, which appeared almost at the same time, experiments with creating a unique interpretation of the dodecaphony; the piece constructed from multiple short sections of form changes a twelve-note theme so that after the fifth form section he brings back the previous four in reverse order. As a matter of fact, this piece reveals a lot about M\u00e1ty\u00e1s Seiber\u2019s compositional habitus: he is not so much a constructive character as a free and intuitive person who nonetheless experiments with concepts, which may incidentally be far from his personality. In his works it is always the spirit of openness that dominates, irrespective of which period of his life\u2019s work they were created in.\nThese interpretations have only confirmed my observation, namely that it is only via first class performances that less known composers can get discovered. All the contributors to the recording are first-class artists and they devote all their knowledge and talent to the quality shaping and mediation of the pieces. Zsuzsa Koll\u00e1r provides an outstanding performance in all the five pieces that she plays in, not only as a dedicated and zestful piano accompaniment but also as an equal partner. I can only praise P\u00e9ter Szab\u00f3 for his intense, deeply felt and spirited cello performance as well as David Fr\u00fchwirth for his careful and precise violin performance. P\u00e9ter Szab\u00f3 deserves extra credit for arranging the program of the CD and for assisting in its production. I found Lesley-Jane Rogers\u2019s soprano less convincing: her obscure tone sharpening at high notes prevented her interpretation from the appearance of the natural intimacy and smooth self-expression that the other singer on the disc, Andrea Mel\u00e1th so obviously possesses.",

        "raw_content": "Get'cher Other War On\nI already don't trust the intelligence and I haven't even seen it. That's what happens when the president cries 'wolf' one (or ten or a hundred) times too many.\nOn the other hand, if Iran really did do it...then is there any alternative to knocking the hell out of them? Or are we in such dire straights that we have to ignore even attacks this serious?\nReflecting on The War in El Salvador\nIf you set out to list all the crimes of the Reagan administration, you'd better pack a lunch. And you'll want to include that administration's policies toward El Salvador near the top of that list.\nDueling Idiots?\nOr: Multiculturalism in British Schools\nI can't tell what the heck's going on here. Very sketchy column that makes both sides sound like idiots. Which, sadly, may very well be the truth.\n[HT: J. Cartensis]\nAs Iraq Unravels...Some Hope of Success?\nIn the NYT. Iraq has, as almost everyone is finally willing to admit, gone to hell.\nBut one of the most interesting points in the piece:\nFor those eager to write off Iraq as lost, one fact bears remembering. A great many Shiites and Kurds, who together make up 80 percent of the population, will tell you that in spite of all the mistakes the Americans have made here, the single act of removing Saddam Hussein was worth it. And the new American plan, despite all the obstacles, may have a chance to work. With an Iraqi colleague, I have been studying a neighborhood in northern Baghdad that has become a dumping ground for bodies. There, after American troops conducted sweeps, the number of corpses dropped by a third in September. The new plan is built around that kind of tactic.\nDunno how seriously to take Tavernise's judgment here, but it's something.\nWhat If The Surge Works?\nSurely someone has pointed out by now what will happen if the surge works--or even if by some other mechanism an even slightly better Iraq emerges, post-surge.\nA few things to make clear before the punchline:\n1. I don't have a right to a position on the surge.\n2. In the past I've said that, if you held a gun to my head and made me decide, I'd reluctantly give a surge the green light.\n3. I'm not even sure about that anymore.\n4. I desperately want something--anything--to work in Iraq...including, of course, the surge.\nBut we need to be clear about two points:\nA. If Iraq improves after the surge--regardless of whether the surge causes the improvement--conservatives will immediately begin the Reaganification of George W. Bush. That is, they will resume trying to heroify the decidedly unheroic. Many of them were still trying to make Bush a hero when he was already a manifestly terrible president. Many of them still dogmatically insist that he's non-terrible. Any hint of success of any kind after the surge will give them a straw to grasp at, and the half-finished hagiographies will be taken up and completed. He'll be resolute, he'll be precient, he'll be, of course, Churchillian.\nB. He will, of course, deserve none of those accolades, even if the surge is directly responsible for improving Iraq. If, through a series of lies and moronic errors, you manage to monumentally screw something up, and then you throw an ill-advised Hail Mary that happens to clean up part of the mess you made through dishonesty and incompetence, you don't deserve any credit. Stupidity and dishonesty are not praiseworthy. Luck is not praiseworthy. Stupidity and dishonesty plus luck are not praiseworthy. Bush is a terrible president even if space aliens happen to show up tomorrow and shower us with gold, oil, and dancing girls (or guys, as your preference might have it). A lucky accident can't change that.\nBUT...be prepared, because A (above) is a lead-pipe cinch.\nI'm hoping that something--anything--will work in Iraq. I'm hoping that the surge will work. And that means hoping to have to put up with infuriatingly foolish, dogmatic, and baroque conservative campfire stories about how Bush '43, the Glorious and Resolute, was right all along.\nIt's false, and it's going to make me barf every time I have to hear it. But it's approximately a million times better than watching Iraq continue to vivisect itself.\nIs Cheney Hosed?\nI just want to know the truth. If he's innocent, I want his name cleared. If he's guilty, I want him in jail.\nJimmy Carter Was Right, 1/24/2007 Edition\nOr: Conservation--No Longer Just A \"Personal Virtue\"?\nSo, it seems that Mr. Bush is going to call for us to decrease our oil consumption. Let me be the first to say it: way to go, W. A capital idea. I'm absolutely behind him on this.\nI hope it's not churlish to point out that this was also a good idea in 1978. In fact, it was even a much better idea in '78. If we'd have listened to dopey old doom-n-gloom Carter back then we would be in far less hot water than we are today.\nBut, anyway, that's not the point. The point is that W's getting this one right. Good for him.\nAntibiotic-Resistant Acinetobacter (and the Iraq War)\nThis piece from Wired is an absolutely fascinating (and pretty damn scary) read. I'm already fairly alarmed about antibiotic-resistant bacteria, though, so maybe my opinion is unreliable here.\nThere's too much in there to even start to comment on at the end of a long day, so for now I just link.\nRead, read!\n(HT: Canis Major, who seems to be trying to further degrade the peacefulness of my sleep.)\nHelp the (Re)Fugees\nO.k., time for the 'Raptor Street Irregulars to put their noggins together to help out the Fugees.\nYesterday/below we had this about this in the NYT. Long story short, the Fugees are a soccer team made up entirely of young refugees currently living in Clarkston, GA. The story was so moving that I decided to find out how one goes about helping the team out. Turns out one can find out more about them and make donations at their website, Fugeesfamily.org. Check it out.\nIn an e-mail to the Fugee's coach, Luma Mufleh, and in a post, I suggested that they make up some T-shirts for fund-raising purposes. Below, coach Luma asks whether we have any ideas for such shirts.\nNow, this is not the kind of thing I'm good at, and probably not the kind of thing most of you are good at, either, but if we put our heads together, tap some other bloggers, etc., we ought to be able to (a) come up with something catchy and (b) persuade some folks to donate and/or buy a shirt.\nSo start coughing up the clever ideas already. Fame is fleeting, and these kids could use our help.\nGo Fugees!\nJeez, this story'll just about break your heart.\nSomebody tell this coach to get some Fugees shirts printed up. I'll buy one in a second.\nSpoiler below.\nSpoiler: The rich kids win in the end. Jeez, there's a surprise for ya.\nGonzales and Habeas Corpus\nDrum is up in arms about the fact that Gonzales said that the Constitution doesn't expressly grant us the right of habeas corpus.\nThing is, technically, Gonzales seems to be right. The right of habeas corpus is presupposed, rather than expressly granted/guaranteed by, the Constitution.\nThing is, in any other administration, we wouldn't have to go to red alert over such a comment. This is just the way lawyers, philosophers, scientists, and math-types talk among themselves when they are talking about technical matters. Distinctions and claims like this are at least interesting even when not important. (E.g. it's interesting that All dogs are mammals doesn't entail there are dogs.)\nBut with this administration, we DO have to go to red alert. This is exactly the kind of quasi-technicality these criminals might try to exploit for nefarious purposes. (Recall: \"there are no plans for invasion on my desk...\") Would they really undermine habeas corpus entirely, destroying a cornerstone of our legal system in order to win a small victory in a battle they shouldn't be fighting anyway? You bet they would.\nSomebody needs to ask Gonzales point blank whether that was a merely technical observation, or whether he thinks the point is a substantive one with real implications. That is, they need to make sure he acknowledges that there is a right of habeas corpus even though it isn't explicitly guaranteed/granted by the Constitution.\nBainbridge: Does What \"Elite Professors\" Think Matter?\nAre Philosophers Experts About the Existence of God?\nVia Instapundit there's this by Stephen Bainbridge.\nI've gotta say I'm torn on this one. If all I knew about proposition p was that more academicians than non-academicians believed it, I'm not initially certain whether I'd bet on its truth or not. Bainbridge is right that it'd be a good bet if we knew that p fell within area of expertise A, and that experts in A believed p at a higher rate than the rest of the population--e.g. if p was a proposition about economics, and more economists believed it. But as for an arbitrarily-selected p...man, I dunno...\nAcademicians often strike me as a fairly loony lot...and academicians at more \"elite\" institutions--if by that we meen Ivy League types--often strike me as being on the loonier end of the curve. It might be relevant that folks who are able to snag such jobs are usually from very privileged backgrounds, so they start life being a little nutty and out of touch with reality. They've often never had real jobs, never had to worry about making a living. Most of them have never dug a ditch, baled hay, fixed a car. Most of them have never had a shitty job, been broke, been in a fist fight. They've lived in a very atypical world. There are exceptions, of course, but they're on average a pretty unaverage lot. So if the p in question turns out to be about some practical matter of actual life in the, ya know, world...well, it wouldn't be smart to be with the pointy-headed intellectuals.\nThen you throw in the fact that, in many disciplines, you don't really have to be very smart to succeed. In order to avoid an avoidable controversy, I won't list the list here, but let's just remind ourselves that not every discipline is as demanding as physics. Hell, not every discipline is as demanding as history. In fact, IMHO, not every discipline is as demanding as plumbing. Even at the \"elite\" institutions. You probably have to be smarter to teach, say, math at a community college than you have to be to teach, say, speech communications at an Ivy League school.\nAnd an inordinate number of academicians--especially in the humanities and social sciences--at elite schools are nutty lefties. Way far left of your garden-variety liberals.\nThough, come to think of it, lots hangs on what we mean by \"elite schools\" here. Perhaps it just means something like the country's top thirty or fifty schools. If that's what's meant, then the stuff above is rather less true of the such folks.\nOn the other hand, academia does wash out most of the very stupidest of the stupid and most ignorant of the ignorant. You'll find virtually no religious fundamentalists, radical nationalists, alien abductees, folks who call the psychic hotline, racists, homophobes and suchlike.\nSoooo...on balance, if I had to bet on the truth of proposition p without knowing anything about it other than that academicians were more likely than non-academicians to believe it...I'd be very unhappy. But I'd probably cross my fingers and bet on p.\nFor a similar bet replacing 'academicians' with 'academicians at elite institutions'....I'd still probably bet on p, but, to be honest, I'd be a little more worried about it.\nThe Bainbridge piece also prompts the following question: are philosophers experts when it comes to the question of the existence of God?\nI think the answer has to be 'yes', since philosophers have, on average, thought about the relevant arguments in much greater depth and at much greater length than most people.\nIncidentally, philosophers are far less likely to believe in God than the average American.\nOn Dogmatism and Support for Bush\nSo, support for Bush is fairly low (though not as low as one might expect), but--and tell me if this is just me--when I surf around on the right wing of the blogosphere...well, I suppose I have to wonder whether or not those folks are living in the same world I am.\nAfter six years of relentlessly terrible leadership--including what even many on the right acknowledge to be possibly the worst strategic error in American history--Right Blogistan still seems to be unwilling to admit what is obvious to everyone else in the world: that George W. Bush is a very bad president.\nIn fact, I have to admit that I find it fairly alarming that it took until recently for certain elements of the right to admit that Bush was not a great president. \"Churchillian,\" they were fond of calling him. If it takes this much dishonesty, incompetence and disaster to force an admission that the guy isn't sublimely heroic, then what, I ask, would it take to force them to admit that he's below average? And God only knows what it would take to prompt an admission of the awful truth...\nAdmitting that you're wrong can be hard. The longer you've been wrong, the harder it is. The more important the issue you've been wrong about, the harder it is. The more impassioned the debate, the harder it is. The more ardently you've argued for your position, the harder it is. The more you dislike your opponents, the harder it is. I understand the social and psychological forces working against Bush supporters in this case. But that doesn't make the phenomenon any less alarming.\nOne thing this case seems to do is to reveal the true strength of partisan dogmatism. Or at least the true strength of partisan dogmatism in America. Or at least the true strength of partisan dogmatism on the American right. We might hope that this case is exceptional, but that might be too optimistic. The better bet, I'm afraid, is that this kind of dogmatism is always in action in American politics--it's just that most political issues are cloudy enough to make it seem plausible to attribute the relevant disagreements to honest differences in opinion or principle.\nThat right there is what we call a scary thought.\nTNR: Lawrence Korb Against the Surge\nHere's the first installment in TNR's debate. To surge or not to surge--that is the question.\nI'm even more tenuously pro-surge (almost vanishingly so) than I used to be as more and more of my foreign policy beacons (e.g. Wes Clark) come out against. Still, I have questions about Korb's argument.\nConsider the following paragraph:\n\"The first problem is that U.S. forces will be unable to protect the population, because our very presence is a magnet for violence. U.S. soldiers and Marines patrolling on foot or holed up in neighborhood outposts will be bombarded with attacks from anti-occupation insurgents. To protect themselves, U.S. forces will have to respond, relying on their massive firepower to fight off attacks, putting Iraqi civilians in the crossfire and only making the security situation worse.\"\nKorb's argument (like most arguments) is a tad difficult to reconstruct, but here's a go at it:\n(1) U.S. soldiers and Marines patrolling on foot or holed up in neighborhood outposts will be bombarded with attacks from anti-occupation insurgents.\n(2) Our very presence is a magnet for violence. (from (1))\n(3) To protect themselves, U.S. forces will have to respond, relying on their massive firepower to fight off attacks\n(4) We will put Iraqi civilians in the crossfire (from (2) and (3)?)\n[Therefore:?]\n(5) We will be unable to protect the Iraqi population (from (4)? from (2)?)\n(6) We (in a surge) will make matters worse (?? from (5)? from (4)?? from (4) and (5)?)\nAt any rate, the main idea is clear enough: our troops will provoke more violence, and dish out more violence and this will be worse for innocent Iraqis than the alternative (no surge? leaving entirely?).\nOur troops do provoke violence, that's clear. It isn't, however, clear whether that's a net gain or a net loss for innocent Iraqis. Apparently we don't know whether, if we we withdrew, that violence would evaporate or, instead, simply be directed against innocent Iraqis. (My guess: some of each, and nobody knows in what proportion.)\nOur troops do dish it out, too, and that kills innocent Iraqis, but, again, we don't know whether it kills more than it saves.\nSo, although we know that some violence is directed at our troops, and that some violence is caused by them, what we don't know is whether this makes matters worse for innocent Iraqis than they (i.e. things) would be otherwise.\nI just don't see how Korb's argument can be valid. (Here I use 'valid' in the ordinary and traditional sense in which a non-deductive argument can be valid.) To get the conclusion he wants, he'd have to provide premises in which pre-surge and post-surge levels of violence were compared, and those he does not have.\nJust pointing out all the ways in which our (increased) presence is bad can't show that we shouldn't be (er...increasingly?) present. To show that, we'd have to show that our presence is worse than our absence (or that our increased presence is worse than a decreased presence, or whatever.) But those seem to be the very comparisons we are ignorant about.\nSo it seems that bit of Korb's argument fails.\nWarhawk Dead-Enders\nInstapundit links approvingly to this at Protein Wisdom.\nI'm trying to be objective about this, but I guess my first reaction is: this just goes to show that in politics you never, ever, ever have to admit you were wrong, no matter how unequivocal the evidence.\nOn the face of it, the strategy here seems to be to collect up every \"justification\" (read: rationalization) used in support of the war, and then argue that only most of them have been conclusively proven to be false or stupid.\nThus leaving a (shameful) rhetorical back door open through which people who can't admit when they're wrong can sneak out.\nBecause, see, saving face is more important than advancing the public dialog.\nPlease tell me I'm missing something.\nIs The Covenant The Worst Movie Ever Made?\nThis movie is a cinematic turd. Do not see it under any conditions. If you are stranded on a desert island with nothing but a solar-powered DVD player and a copy of this movie, do not watch it.\nThis movie is so unutterably awful that Superman Returns is almost merely horrible by comparison.\nI want my three bucks back.\nMichael Crowley on the House Democrats' Dilemma\nThe dilemma, of course, is whether to retaliate against the last ten years of Republican abuses or to turn the other cheek in an effort to return civility to the House. Crowley notes that the Dems favor the latter course of action, but that House Republicans haven't made it easy...and still aren't. He writes:\nStill, the impulse for payback is easy to understand. In 2003, I wrote a story about the misery of being a Democrat in the GOP House, which had come to operate with all the parliamentary freedom of the North Korean Communist Party (see \"Oppressed Minority,\" June 23, 2003). My subject was Van Hollen, whom I followed for a few days as he tried in vain to secure a vote on an amendment critical to his civil service worker constituents. After one summary rejection, Van Hollen suggested that Republicans should bring democracy to the House before imposing it on Iraq. (Miller fumed to me at the time that the GOP was running the House in a \"fascistic\" and \"corrupt\" manner.)\nRepublicans aren't making it easier for Democrats to forgive and forget these traumatic memories by screaming bloody murder over any perceived slight. Although Democrats have vowed to make several rules changes affording the minority more power, the House GOP has already shamelessly offered up a \"Minority Bill of Rights\"--copied verbatim from a 2004 Democratic proposal (which the GOP ignored). Democrats found it especially maddening to hear a complaint last week from California Republican David Dreier, who, as outgoing chairman of the House Rules Committee, smothered countless Democratic bills and amendments in their cribs. Dreier pronounced himself \"very disappointed\" at the lack of a GOP role in the 100-hour agenda. \"I couldn't believe my ears,\" sighs Louise Slaughter of New York, Dreier's incoming successor as Rules chair. \"If Alice in Wonderland can believe six impossible things before breakfast, David Dreier can do better.\"\nI spend a lot of time pondering fundamental differences between liberals and conservatives--largely to no avail. But one thing I come back to time and again is that conservatives tend to be less adept at or willing to take up an objective perspective when their own interests are involved. Liberals (real liberals--not zany leftist types) seem better at what I think of as the table test--that is, better at asking \"what conclusion would I draw in this case if the tables were turned?\" That is, they seem to be better at preventing self-interest from clouding their judgment. This is largely responsible for the fact that they are more consistent than conservatives. In the case at hand, they sought to defend the rights of the House minority when they were it, and they're also seeking to defend those rights now that they're no longer it. On the other hand, when Republicans were in the majority, they abused their power and refused even to consider rules that guaranteed rights to the minority. Now that the tables have been turned, they not only immediately begin screaming (whining?) for such rules (before they've even suffered any abuse, incidentally), but they copy the Democrat's formerly-dismissed proposal and call it their own.\nI have a tendency to be one of those liberals who's so open-minded that he has a hard time taking his own side in an argument. I actually think that's not entirely a bad thing. But, anyway, people like me are ecstatic when irrefutable evidence like this arises. There's no way to finesse it, spin it, re-interpret it or second-guess it: here's a clear case in which the actions of the Democrats are noble and those of the Republicans are craven. Moreover, the case seems to be a representative one, one that merely highlights certain virtues and vices that seem more-or-less characteristic of the respective parties.\nI wouldn't be a good liberal if I didn't point out that our friends across the aisle do have their virtues, some of which we'd be well-advised to emulate. But as for the virtues in play in the case at hand...well, they'd be well-advised to try to learn a thing or two from our boys.\nFor the Record: The Surge\nI've been checked out of the world for about a month now, so what I'm about to say here should in no way be construed as anything other than what it is: merely putting myself on the record so that my memory doesn't fool me if/when everything goes to hell:\nTo surge or not to surge?\nI'm gratified to be able to answer promptly: I don't know.\nIf you held a gun to my head, I'd still say I didn't know.\nEven when I was really paying careful attention to what was going on I didn't know. Now I super-duper extra-heavy-duty don't know.\nIf I had no other option than to make the decision right this second, without consulting the experts and without thinking any more about it, I'd give the surge the green light, for all the obvious reasons.\nI realize that this, as Mark Kleiman quips, makes me the enemy of all right-thinking people, but there it is.\nNow that I'm connected to the world again, I might change my position (if you want to call it that) by tomorrow.\nBut anyway, there it is, just for the record.\nI Am Not Making This Up, 1/9/2007 Edition: Hannity's \"Enemies of the State\"\nAt TPM.\nIs it just me, or are they not even trying to conceal the fact that they're nuts anymore?\nThe Democrats' Inconsistent Goals\nIt's really not possible for the Dems to simultaneously adhere to both of the following promises:\n1. To pass a good ethics reform package\n2. To include the Republicans in decision-making.\nSo they've apparently chosen to fulfill 1 first and then 2.\nIt was almost funny to see Adam Putnam on the News Hour last night whining about the Dems doing 1 before 2. Also pretty funny to see him and others whining about the fact that Republicans hadn't been consulted about rules changes that guarantee more rights to the minority party. Conservatives like to accuse liberals of being whiney...but there's that whole mote/beam thing...\nI couldn't help but wonder why these folks were so upset about guaranteeing more rights to the minority party. A cynic might think that what they're more interested in oppressing the Dems again at some future date than in developing an efficient and civil representative institution.\nIt was also almost funny to see some Republicans trying to blame the poisonous house atmosphere of the last ten years on the Dems. Christ, some of these guys only seem to occasionally vacation in reality...",

The island was a possession of France from 1650 until 1733. On June 13, 1733, France sold the island group to the Danish West Indies Company. For nearly 200 years, the islands were known as the Danish West Indies. St. Croix and the Danish West Indies were sold to the United States by Denmark in the Treaty of the Danish West Indies of 1916, in exchange for a sum of US$25,000,000 in gold. In a national referendum 64.2% of Danish voters approved the sale. An unofficial referendum held in the islands resulted in 99.83% vote in favor of the purchase.\nSt. Croix is the largest of the islands in the territory, being 28 by 7 miles (45 by 11 km).

        "raw_content": "subject 1: jacob SWITZER - MUSICIAN\n\u201cI call it the \u201cback house\u201d usually, but this is where I record and where I chill, and sometimes sleep.\u201d\nIS THIS WHERE YOU FEEL THE MOST CREATIVE?\n\u201cI\u2019d say yes. I can sort of get away from everything back here. It\u2019s a small space and it\u2019s all packed full of my stuff. I have an old computer here from when I was kid and I sometimes play \u201cBuzz Lightyear\u201d games on it when I need to take a break from things. Nostalgia is something that makes me feel creative, so it\u2019s nice to have some old stuff back here that reminds me of my childhood.\u201d\nWHAT\u2019S THE IMPORTANCE OF HAVING A SPACE LIKE THIS?\n\u201cWell like I just said, it allows me to get away from everything. I still live with my parents, so it\u2019s hard to be singing about stuff that is sometimes really honest and weird when there\u2019s people around in the house. That can go for anyone who also has roommates, so I think it\u2019s important to have a space where you can be alone if that\u2019s something that you need which in my case I do.\u201d\n\u201c- as an artist it\u2019s important to be able to experiment in a space where you feel comfortable and there\u2019s no one around to judge you. You can literally f**k up as many times as you want, play around, and create new sounds.\u201d\nWHAT IS YOUR PROCESS LIKE WHEN IT COMES TO CREATING SOMETHING?\n\u201cUsually the recording of a song comes when everything is 100 percent set. The writing of the song tends to happen in a bunch of different places. I\u2019ll come up with a chord progression somewhere and then I\u2019ll come up with some lyrics somewhere else. Another day I\u2019ll be somewhere and a chorus will come to me that happens to fit in that song. From there once it\u2019s all put together, I\u2019ll come here and enter my creative zone.\u201d\nHAVE YOU WRITTEN A LOT OF SONGS HERE?\n\u201cBack here? Ya I have written a lot of songs here. Like I said before, since I\u2019m all alone in this space I\u2019ve gotten some really wacky sounds and it\u2019s gotten weird. For my last project \u201cJacuzzi 23,\u201d I recorded most of it at my friend Antoni\u2019s house, but I did all of the mixing and some recording here.\u201d\nSUBJECT 2: WENTING LI - VISUAL ARTIST\n\u201cWe are inside 401 Richmond, which is a historical industrial building in Toronto that has been revamped into creative spaces. I have a studio here through my school. I graduated from OCAD in May of 2017. It\u2019s a shared studio space with a bunch of other graduates from the Illustration program and this is my corner! It\u2019s pretty messy.\u201d\nHOW OFTEN ARE YOU HERE?\n\u201cI\u2019m here every day that I\u2019m not at my retail job. I\u2019m also often here on weekends because I have a bit of a weird schedule. Since I only have this space for a limited time, I want to make as much use out of it as I can. It\u2019s also just nice to come in here every day because then it becomes a good routine for being ready to work at any time. I\u2019ve been lucky these past few months to have enough work so that I have to come in all the time.\u201d\nDO YOU FEEL AS THOUGH A SPACE LIKE THIS FUELS YOUR CREATIVITY?\n\u201cFor sure. It\u2019s really great to have a space that is dedicated to work. When you get in here, you get in the mindset that you\u2019re here to do your job. It really helps with that. I think that working at home can be difficult because everything blends together. It\u2019s hard to do work in a space that isn\u2019t dedicated for creating.\u201d\nDO YOU GO THROUGH A CERTAIN PROCESS WHEN IT COMES TO CREATING A PIECE OF ART?\n\u201cWhen it comes to an editorial piece, I\u2019ll try and get either the rough draft, article or idea that they want me to explore. If there\u2019s reading material, I\u2019ll try and read that a few times and sort of distill what the concept I want to focus on is. That\u2019s usually the first thing. From there I\u2019ll start to draw through ideas, I\u2019ve found that it\u2019s really helpful to draw through a problems as well because if you keep drawing you usually get somewhere. Drawing helps as a way to think for me, so when I\u2019m drawing things my mind is making connections. It helps me to come up with concepts and metaphors. You also have to make sure that you take some breaks from time to time.\u201d\nWHEN YOU\u2019RE OUTSIDE OF THE STUDIO, DO IDEAS COME TO YOU NATURALLY OR ARE YOU CONSCIOUSLY THINKING ABOUT IT?\n\u201cI feel like it\u2019s definitely a bit of both. I do try to sit down and have conscious brainstorming sessions, but also sometimes things just hit you which is even better. I also find that just being involved in different things outside the studio, whether it be going to a show or just hanging out with friends can help fuel your creativity as well. I think it\u2019s important to try and be a person while also having your creative work. When I\u2019m just working, it\u2019s easy to get exhausted by it. Even if all you\u2019re doing is drawing.\u201d\nI NOTICED THAT YOU HAVE A LOT OF YOUR OWN ARTWORK AND OTHER PIECES SURROUNDING YOU IN YOUR SPACE, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT\u2019S IMPORTANT TO YOU?\n\u201cYa I think it just happens. This space used to be pristine and I\u2019m just really messy, so I collect a lot of things and so they\u2019ll just find their way here. I have a space at home that\u2019s even worse. I have a desk at home and the wall in front of it is just completely covered with things that I\u2019ve stuck to it. This is nothing compared to there, but ya, working in a completely clean space doesn\u2019t feel natural to me. It\u2019s nice to sit down in a space that\u2019s filled with objects that are visually interesting.\u201d\nHOW IMPORTANT HAS THIS SPACE BEEN FOR YOU?\n\u201cI don\u2019t think I\u2019d be at this point in my career if I didn\u2019t have this studio. It would have been harder to stay focused. I probably would have been living at home. I moved out so that I could make better use of this studio and be downtown. I think that just being in this environment has been really helpful. Having a professional space makes you feel like more of a professional. It keeps you constantly thinking about what you should be doing next and what you need to be working on. I also have studio mates here, which is really great because they\u2019re doing these things that make me want to push myself more and they work in slightly adjacent areas of what I do so that enables me to expand my views of what's possible. I\u2019d be a really different person if I was working out of my home and didn\u2019t have this space.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "PLDT is most valuable listed firm at end-2013\nMANILA, Philippines, January 8, 2014 \u2013 Telecoms leader PLDT emerged as the most valuable firm listed at the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) last year with a market capitalization of P576.0 billion after it closed higher at P2,666 per share on December 27, 2013, the last trading day.\nThis registers a 5.4% increase in PLDT\u2019s share price year-on-year, higher than the modest gains of the PSE main index which closed 1.3% higher year-on-year at 5,889.83 on the last trading day. Daily average turnover rose 44.9% to P10.5 billion in 2013 with total market capitalization rising to P11.93 trillion.\nIn 2013, PLDT paid out a total of P37.6 billion in dividends consisting of the final regular dividend and special dividend for 2012, and the interim regular dividend for 2013.\nWith a capex guidance of P29 billion last year, PLDT further expanded its already extensive fiber optic network to over 71,000 kilometers, enabling the company to offer industry-leading high-speed broadband connectivity to homes and powering mobile broadband services of Smart\u2019s Long-Term Evolution (LTE) network. Riding on these high-speed connections, PLDT has begun to offer rich multimedia services such as movie and TV content on its fiber-powered networks.\n\u201cPLDT celebrated last year its 85 years of changing the lives through our various innovative products and services. In that span of time, PLDT has gone through several transformations,\u201d PLDT President and CEO Napoleon Nazareno said.\n\u201cToday, we are going through yet another, and perhaps most profound process of reinvention thus far. We are transforming ourselves from a telecoms company into an integrated, multimedia communications group that can thrive in the increasingly digital world,\" he noted.\nIn terms of corporate governance, PSE recognized PLDT for its governance practices at the recent PSE Bell Awards. Also last year, PLDT received a Platinum Award for Excellence in Management and Corporate Governance by leading regional corporate finance publication The Asset, and was included in the top 10 Philippine companies with the Best Corporate Governance in the Finance Asia Awards. PLDT was also recognized for being an Icon on Corporate Governance in the Corporate Governance Asia Awards.\nFor the fifth consecutive year, PLDT was also recognized for having the Best Investor Relations by a Philippine company at the 2013 Investor Relations (IR) Magazine South East Asia Awards held in Singapore.\nThe leading telecoms company was also recently cited for having the Most Consistent Dividend Policy among publicly-listed Philippine companies in the 3rd Annual Southeast Asia Institutional Investor Corporate Awards by Hong Kong-based investor publications Alpha Southeast Asia Magazine in July 2013. The award was based on the votes of independent investors and analysts surveyed by the regional publication.\nThis is the second year in a row that PLDT was cited by Alpha Southeast Asia Magazine for its dividend policy. PLDT paid out 100% of its 2012 core earnings per share (EPS) as dividends to shareholders, making it the sixth consecutive year of 100% payout.\nPLDT has also received recognition for its commitment to a consistent dividend policy from Hong Kong-based financial investment magazine FinanceAsia in early 2013.\nPLDT was also named the Philippines Telecom Service Provider of the Year by the prestigious Frost and Sullivan Philippines Excellence Awards in June last year. The company also took home the Broadband Service Provider of the Year, Hosted Contact Center Service Provider of the Year, and Datacenter Services Vendor of the Year awards conferred to its wholly-owned subsidiary ePLDT.",

        "raw_content": "One Good Turn A Natural History of the Screwdriver and Screw\nThe Best Tool of the Millennium\nThe seeds of Rybczynski's elegant and illuminating new book were sown by The New York Times, whose editors asked him to write an essay identifying \"the best tool of the millennium.\" The award-winning author of Home, A Clearing in the Distance, and Now I Sit Me Down, Rybczynski once built a house using only hand tools. His intimate knowledge of the toolbox -- both its contents and its history -- serves him beautifully on his quest.\nOne Good Turn is a story starring Archimedes, who invented the water screw and introduced the helix, and Leonardo, who sketched a machine for carving wood screws. It is a story of mechanical discovery and genius that takes readers from ancient Greece to car design in the age of American industry. Rybczynski writes an ode to the screw, without which there would be no telescope, no microscope -- in short, no enlightenment science. One of our finest cultural and architectural historians, Rybczynski renders a graceful, original, and engaging portrait of the tool that changed the course of civilization.\nCode No. 009846, ISBN 068486729X, $39.95",

Whilst there he became influenced by the work of David Wardale and Dante Porta on modernising steam power, and applied their principles firstly to the Alco 2-6-2 \u2018Mountaineer\u2019, and secondly, and more controversially to the ex Penrhyn Quarry 2-4-0 \u2018Linda\u2019 which he rebuilt for coal firing with a Gas Producer system and Lempor exhaust.\nIn 1985 he joined a team working on an EEC sponsored rehabilitation of steam locomotives for the Sudan Government Railway and subsequently he became CME to a team trying to keep the South African 2 foot gauge Alfred County Railway going. Phil moved to South Africa, where he stayed for the rest of his life, and whilst the ACR project was to ultimately fail, he completely rebuilt and modernised two of the line\u2019 s NGG16 class Garratts to considerable effect. Further work was to involve broad gauge steam in Australia and Russia and narrow gauge steam in Argentina.\nForty five of this books 136 pages concentrate on events and work on the Ffestiniog, with a similar number on Phil\u2019s time with the ACR.\nNo punches are pulled in this technical, but also high readable and entertaining account of a life with steam, which is illustrated throughout with many of the author\u2019s , and others, colour photographs from Wales, the Sudan, South Africa, Australia, Russia, China and Argentina, plus numerous technical drawings, charts and diagrams. 136 pages. Hardbound.\n\"A very good story well told. I found it compliments the previous book by Phil 'Camels and Cadillacs' (now out of print) and David Wardale's 'The Red Devil and other tales from the age of steam'.\" Mr. P.R. Australia",

Whether you favour Mozart, Beethoven or Mahler, there is an event that will fit with your taste. The opulence of the proms has fascinated the world for years and it is the perfect chance to experience some of the finest music of all time in one of the world\u2019s greatest venues (and the chance to spy some excellent fashion). The Royal Albert Hall has seen performances from the likes of Cirque du Soleil, all the way through to Dionne Warwick and Jay Z. It is a cultural hub and this Summer it will once again be the place to be to experience live symphonies and alternative performances.\nPrevious performers include the BBC Symphony Orchestra, John Wilson, Budapest Festival Orchestra and many more. Although the music is diverse, all of these acts have one thing in common \u2013 they perform classical music to a standard unrivalled by any other. The BBC Proms offer a chance for you to enjoy classical music as it was meant to be. Based in South Kensington, you are surrounded by the splendour of London. You can stay in a local luxury hotel or enjoy a meal at one of the local restaurants.\nAnd this year will be extra special. With the 2012 Olympics nearly upon us, the Proms have decided to spice things up and put on something a little different. On 27th July, conductor and pianist Daniel Barenboim will lead the West Eastern Divan Orchestra in a performance of Beethoven\u2019s Ninth Symphony, which is the culmination of his complete Beethoven symphony cycle (definitely a once in a lifetime experience). There will also be concerts which will feature the works of French composer Pierre Boulez. With the full list of concerts being published in April, it already seems that this year\u2019s BBC Proms is going to top 2011. So if you\u2019re enjoying the Summer weather and fancy rounding off your evening with some classical music there will be a Proms event to suit you.",

        "title": "Life Assurance & Critical Illness \u2013 Police Clubs Financial",
        "raw_content": "The least expensive of the Term Assurances, Decreasing Term Assurance does what it says on the label. The level of benefit decreases as the term of the policy runs; the premiums do not however reduce. The premiums are fixed throughout the policy term, and the premium level is lower than that of Level Term Assurance as a result of the decreasing benefit. This type of life assurance is commonly used to protect Capital & Repayment mortgage debt. Typically the policy reduces the protection assuming a Mortgage Interest Rate of 10%. Many are paying mortgage interest at around 5% and, providing interest rates do not go over 10%, the benefit should reduce slower than the mortgage debt, ensuring repayment of the mortgage debt in full. However, there is no guarantee that the level of cover will match the outstanding debt upon a claim.\nThe level of cover reduces each year \u2013 in line with the sum you owe\nThis type of cover protects you for a given term for an increasing level of benefit. The amount of life cover chosen at the outset rises annually by a predetermined factor, normally Retail Price Index (RPI). This is known as \u201cindexation\u201d. The premium will also increase. By selecting indexation you are protecting the purchasing power of your selected benefit. This may be suitable for family protection although this would depend on individual circumstances and you should seek further advice.\nworks much like the level term insurance, except that the level of cover increases \u2013 and usually the premiums too.\nFamily Income Benefit is one of the least expensive forms of life insurance and differs from most other types in that it is designed to pay the benefit, in the event of death, as an income rather than a lump sum, although there may be the option of taking a lump sum depending on the policy.\nFamily Income Benefit can also include Critical Illness Insurance which is designed to pay the selected income if the policyholder is diagnosed with a critical illness within the chosen term. Critical illness conditions vary from insurer to insurer but in general include such conditions as some forms of cancer, some forms of heart attack, and stroke etc. In addition to these \u201ccore conditions\u201d applicants can also select comprehensive cover which usually includes 25 to 30 additional conditions.\nA whole of life policy is another policy which does exactly as it says. It covers you for the whole of your life. When the inevitable happens, providing the policy is still in force, it will pay out a death benefit. Although they can provide a surrender value, they should not be used for investment purposes due to the deductions made for the death benefit.\nAs payment of the benefit is inevitable Whole of Life policies tend to be more expensive than Term Assurance policies for the same level of cover (it depends on what age you are when you start the plan). Each premium is made up of a mortality element and a savings element. Upon death, a fixed sum is paid to the beneficiary along with the balance of the savings element. The performance of the underlying investment fund for Whole of Life Plans is important, as the cost of future premiums depends on fund performance.\nThese policies come in various forms:\nNon-profit whole life policies \u2013 A level premium payable throughout life. It pays a fixed cash sum at the time of death.\nWith profit whole life policies \u2013 Same as non-profit policies but the amount paid on death is the sum assured plus whatever profits have been allocated.\nLow cost whole life policies \u2013 These have a guaranteed level of cover that the amount payable on death is the greater of the basic sum plus bonuses or the guaranteed death sum assured.\nIf you are worried about investment risk and increasing premiums, there are Whole of Life policies available which do not rely on fund performance, however, these do not acquire a surrender value.\nInvestment Linked Insurance\nWith term assurance policies, lower premiums make them an affordable way of helping to protect your family in the event of your death, within the policy term, but there is no guarantee of a payout. Some life insurance policies however, can be effectively used as an investment.\nWhole life or endowment policies will provide the beneficiaries with a payout after a fixed period or a death. These payments can be a fixed amount, or in some cases linked to an insurance company\u2019s investment performance in the form of with profits policies or unit linked policies.\nWith profits policies may generate rewards from the valuation of the assets and liabilities of the insurer\u2019s life fund, but premiums will be much higher. Unit linked policies link the value of the policy to units in a unitised fund. The units are linked to the underlying value of the fund. The value of the policy can therefore fluctuate depending on the value of the units. The pricing structure and type of fund depends on your insurance company. Many insurance companies now have unitised with-profits funds.\nFlexibility to choose your own level of protection and investment.\nAbility to vary the amount of your premium payments or coverage based on your own personal financial situation.\nFlexibility to choose the type of funds based on your risk aptitude.\nLike Renewable Term Assurance, this type of term assurance contains an option at the end of the term. This time it is to convert it into a whole of life policy without the need for a medical. The option must be exercised before the plan ends. The level of protection cannot be increased upon conversion and, although your health is not taken into consideration at the time of conversion, the terms offered will be based on your age.\nThis type of Term Assurance gives you the option, at the end of the original term, to extend the policy for a further term, without the need for Medical Underwriting. The new premium will be based upon your age at the time you take up the option. This type of cover is initially relatively inexpensive, but the premium will be higher than for ordinary term assurance and could rise substantially at the time of renewal.\nIt\u2019s when you need to make a claim that you realise just how wise investing in a critical illness policy can be.\nNote \u2013 Critical illness policies should be checked as only some forms of cancer, heart attack and stroke are covered by this type of insurance.\nTHE POLICY MAY NOT COVER ALL THE DEFINITIONS OF A CRITICAL ILLNESS. FOR DEFINITIONS PLEASE REFER TO THE KEY FEATURES AND POLICY DOCUMENT.",

At least John McCain had the decency to defend Obama in 2008 when someone said stuff like this.\nMitt Romney has had several excellent opportunities to show what a decent man he is and to show that he has dignity and honor but he has let them go by. This was an opportunity for him to have a little courage and correct a statement made in his presence that he knew was false which is happening too often with him. When the college girl was jumped on so crassly by that Fox bowhard and Romney could have has the decency to admonish him....but he didn't.

However, Glenbard North, Punahou\u2019s first-round opponent, wasn\u2019t willing to roll out the welcome mat.\nGlenbard North, ranked No. 9 in the nation, beat up the Punahou School \u2014 literally. Glenbard\u2019s physical style led to a 68-0 blanking of Punahou.\nStill, as expected, Punahou lost with class. Coach Matt Oney coached his first match exactly the same as his last.\n\"While I don\u2019t like the result, this is what we came here for,\" Oney said. \"That\u2019s as physical of a team as we\u2019ll see. My kids were able to see that you can wrestle that physical and keep your technique. They were flawless; they\u2019re a great team. And we came here to see that type of team.\"\nIt\u2019s unfortunate, but Punahou suffered the only skin casualty of the morning session. One of Punahou\u2019s wrestlers did not make it through skin checks and was not allowed to wrestle.\nOney said the news rocked his team.\n\"They were pretty shaken up. He\u2019s one of our starters and an emotional leader,\" Oney said. \"To come this far and not get to wrestle is really tough.\"\nThe last match of the dual against Glenbard may have been the best one.\nThe final match came at 145 pounds and pitted nationally-ranked Vince Ramos of Glenbard against state champion and national judo champion Daniel Chow of Punahou.\nBoth were impressive, but Ramos was able to hold on for an 8-5 victory.\n\"I\u2019m glad Glenbard had a kid that good at Daniel\u2019s weight, because it was good for him to see a wrestler of that caliber,\" Oney said. \"It was a great match, but I know Daniel\u2019s not satisfied. And that\u2019s a good thing. He\u2019ll learn a lot from this one.\"\nPunahou went 0-3 on the first day, but its final two duals were much closer.

        "title": "Destroying the Ties That Bind | Pursuing the Truth Ministries",
        "raw_content": "Home / Destroying the Ties That Bind\nI have found that many Christians have little or no foundation for what they say they believe. The average Christian\u2019s belief system is founded upon or based upon the beliefs and understanding of others. For example, the people in a particular church will tend to believe what the pastor teaches and believes. Usually the average Christian does not verify what ministry leaders have told him or her. Unfortunately not all that we are told is 100% accurate.\nThe fact of being bound does not necessitate a lie. Bondage is simply based on the fact that you are tied to someone else\u2019s theology and not your own. In other words, you don\u2019t know the truth for yourself and therefore bound to the knowledge and understanding of your pastor or ministry leader. There are two aspects to this. The first is that you can become easily deceived by someone else's teaching if you don't know the truth for yourself. The second is you can become easily confused by a doctrinal challenge if you don't know why you believe what you believe. Still another side effect of knot knowing the truth is that you cannot be an effective witness to those outside of your sphere of religion. You are ineffective in sharing the fundamentals of the Christian faith because your belief is based on your church's, i.e., pastor's doctrine.\nThe Christian should know the truth for themselves. It is not sufficient to blindly believe what we are told from the pulpit or by TV evangelists, and other ministry leaders. We must personally know the truth in order to be free to fulfill God\u2019s purpose for our lives. We are susceptible to false doctrines, others\u2019 understandings, and deception if we lack a personal knowledge of biblical truths. Refer to John 8:32-33.\nA method that we can use to know the truth in God\u2019s word, the Bible, is to examine the Scriptures and other pertinent resources, evaluate your findings, determine what the common teaching of the facts is, verify your findings, and apply your findings to your life.\nExamination: Examine as many scriptures, in their proper context, as you can. It is also possible to use other pertinent resources such as history and theological works.\nEvaluation: Evaluate the information that you have gathered in the previous step. This is where you check the context of the scriptures.\nDetermination: Arrive at a conclusion as to the basic principle or teaching that is revealed from the data that you evaluated.\nVerification: Verify what you have concluded via discussions with other Christians, reviewing the facts from the previous steps, comparing what you have concluded with others\u2019 conclusions and so forth.\nApplication: Apply what you have learned to your own life. However, always be receptive for adjustments to your conclusions as you may receive more information about the subject in the future.\nThe importance of this method is to help you to know the truth in God\u2019s word for yourself and not totally rely on someone else\u2019s understanding. This is not the only method that you can use to acquire biblical truth. There are many theological methods that may be employed to discover the teachings revealed in the Bible. I have just presented one that I use and find effective.\nIdentifying the Ties\nThere are many things that bind us and keep us from prospering the way that we should. Debt, financial mismanagement, unwise commitments and more bind us. However, we will focus on those things that bind us within the Christian community. The last thing that the Christian needs is to be bound by that which should help bring about liberty. My experience has shown me that the number one tie that binds the Christian is RELIGION. The word religion is derived from and Old English word that means to restrain or tie back. The following are some of the religious ties that bind us.\nThis is the teaching where it is the Christian\u2019s duty to be at church every Sunday and to be in church all day and sometimes all night. It is also taught that the Christian (church member) should be at all services unless the absence is justifiably excused. Hebrews 10:25 is used to justify this teaching. What happens in this situation is that a Christian will base their relationship with God on their church attendance and not their relation with Jesus Christ. It is not enough to have faith in Christ Jesus. It is also necessary that the Christian attend all services and participate according to the pastor's demands. This is unfortunate because it leads the Christian down a path away from Christ instead of a fruitful relationship with Christ. I should also say that this teaching is false, damaging, unbiblical, and deceitful to say the least.\nIt is taught that the Christian is commanded by God to tithe 10% of his or her income to God by giving it to their local church. This teaching is very inconsistent with the teachings of both the Old and New Testaments. It also negates the work of Jesus Christ. Malachi 3:8-10 is often used to justify this teaching. Salvation is not based on tithing. Furthermore, the way tithing is taught in the churches today is far removed from the way the Bible reveals tithing. Tithing to the local church or the pastor in no way is consistent with giving a tithe to a Levite and/or for the orphans, widows, and foreigners. The teaching in the church, regarding tithing, and the teaching in the Bible are very different. Furthermore, we have to understand that our salvation and relation to God is not based in any way on tithing. Tithing is simply a teaching in the church that binds the Christian and therefore hinders a fruitful relationship with God.\nThe Authority of The Pastor\nIt is sometimes believed that the Christian (church member) is under the sole authority of the pastor or other ministry leader. The authority of the pastor or any Christian leader is akin to a guide and not a king or dictator. Jesus Christ is the leader who leads us to God. The only true authority we have regarding our Christian faith, is Jesus Christ. Of course there are authority figures within the church. For example, the pastor does have authority over the OPERATIONS of his or her church. This does not mean that the pastor has authority over your life. Relative to the church organization, the pastor is like the supervisor or boss in a business environment. What the pastor says, regarding daily operations of the church, is the final word because he or she has authority over the organization. However, the pastor does not necessarily have authority over your life as a Christian.\nThere are those who may have a degree of authority over your life. These are your personal spiritual leaders. This includes the person that may have lead you to Christ, your discipler, or Christian mentor. These people should be given respect even to the point of effecting your life. They also have a personal relationship with you and their goal is to help you obtain and maintain a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.\nNow it is time to begin to seek truth for yourself. Learn what the Bible really teaches without relying solely on what others tell you. We get second opinions in the realm of medicine. We ask others for references about a mechanic, painter, contractor, etc. We tend not to believe anyone in every aspect of our life except when it applies to spiritual or Biblical things. Here we tend to believe whatever we are told and defend that teaching without really knowing the truth personally. Therefore, begin to study your Bible, talk to other Christians about what you believe, learn more about what you believe and correct yourself as you go on. In other words, pursue truth. The only way to destroy the ties that bind you is to know the truth that will liberate you. Look at the following scriptures.\n(2 Corinthians 3:17 KJV) Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.\n(John 8:31-32 KJV) Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; {32} And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.\nKnow God our heavenly father and be liberated from those things that bind you. Be bound to Christ and therefore free in the Lord. Know the fundamentals of Christianity and therefore know what God expects of you. Don't take information solely from ministers, pastors, evangelists and the like. Study for yourself. Learn as much as you can about God, Christianity and Jesus Christ. Know what the life of a Christian should be according to the scriptures. You also will use other people as resources in obtaining information but don't let them be your sole source of biblical knowledge.",

        "raw_content": "Indeed. That is the opposite. There are ways to give metropolitan areas more powers without making them separate d\u00e9partements, provinces, or whatever. The idea of a Montr\u00e9al not part of Qu\u00e9bec is a reactionary angryphone vision that always involves more bilingual signage and other attempts to erase French-language identity. There has been a movement across many countries to give cities more powers.\nI don't see how the island as a whole getting such powers would be more valid than the city of Montr\u00e9al, Laval and Longueuil - the west island is certainly as suburban and carcentric as the worst of Laval. Homelessness and semi-itinerance have spread far beyond the city centre and I'm sure there are cases in the largest and most urbanised of the suburbs.\nPretending that all those who care about the social condition of the anglophone community in Quebec are like Galganov is the equivalent of saying that all sovereigntists are Bock Cot\u00e9 and Martineau. Completely unfair and insulting to the intelligence of both communities. There are anglophones who do a good job of exposing the challenges currently being faced by the english community without being Galganov-esque clowns, such as Jack Jedwab president of the Association for Canadian Studies and organizations such as Youth Employment Services. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/quebec-allophones-anglophones-mor... for an example of what they actually concern themselves with rather than the characature of them being only focused on signs on commercial buildings.\nHonestly the most maddening thing about these organizations is they have 1 winning issue where they can actually mobalize the majority of Quebec society and they refuse to mention it. Last year for the 40th anniversary of Bill 101 Leger did a poll of the various aspects of the law, most were popular except 1.\nhttp://www.ledevoir.com/documents/pdf/loi_101_juillet_2017.pdf\nCurrently 60% of all Quebeckers (including 53% of Francophones) believe that all parents should have the right to send their child to the school of their choice regardless of language. Only 31% agree with the current status quo ban on Francophones and Allophones having that freedom of choice, yet 100% of Quebec's MNAs represent that position held by 31%.\nConsidering that this is an issue that actually threatens the future of the Anglophone education institutions (unlike the current sign laws which threaten nothing), these organizations not fighting for the majority held position is downright incompetance. 22 english schools in Montreal have closed due to lack of enrollment since 1998, yet they refuse to fight (even when they have the support of a majority of Francophones) which is why I'm quite disillusioned with these organizations. While they do great work in exposing the problems they refuse to project strength and fight for their community.\nI never said Montr\u00e9al should be a province and my vision of an autonomous Montr\u00e9al is not written from the angryphone play book. I never said or suggested a 'sovereign' Montr\u00e9al should be a replica of downtown Toronto. I never said anything about more English signs and a more English face.\nI'm talking about power and distinct status. That's all.\nHomelessness may have spread to the West Island and to the Eastern part of Montr\u00e9al like Ville d'Anjou but it is rare as a 3 dollar bill to see the same state of destitution on the South and North shores. Montr\u00e9al has a seriuous poverty problem and a housing crisis that is over 20 years old.\nAnd you know full well that the reality in a metropolis like Montr\u00e9al is not at all the reality in Rimouski or St-Louis de Ha Ha.\nI think Montr\u00e9al should be run by local governments,not a provincial government whose,especially in the case of CAQ,base is rural and Quebec City regional. If that's the base,our urban communities suffer and destitution rises rather than decrease.\nI don't appreciate being called an 'angryphone' I'm far from it.\nYou really want to anglicise our society, eh? Why? Anch'io parlo italiano. Voglio pi\u00f9 italiano, pi\u00f9 spagnolo, pi\u00f9 creolo e pi\u00f9 arabo, anche pi\u00f9 vietnamita. What I don't want is for our society to be assimilated into the angloamerican steamroller.\nYour example illustrates the same right turn as Legault. More \"individual rights\" that undermine social rights.\nYes, of course I think anglophones have valid concerns, especially older people and especially isolated communities such as in the Townships, the Gasp\u00e9 and the Lower North Shore, where it is hard for them to access healthcare and social services in their languages, though older people may legitimately have a limited grasp of French. But that also applies to other linguistic communities - I worked at Centro Dante for a while. What I don't approve is using legitimate concerns to undermine the progress we have achieved in making French the common language of communication in Qu\u00e9bec, despite the rearguard actions of reactionary elements in allophone communities - \u00e9lites who wanted to corral the working class under their control, against making common cause with francophone workers. The Consiglio, the Greek group (forget the name), the Canadian Jewish Congress for that matter, all toadies to the Liberal party and enemies of progressives within their own cultural communities.\nAlan, I wasn't calling you an angryphone. I was referring to pietro, who has already referred to himself as such. Thought that was obvious when I wrote a few words in Italian.\nI also agree with a \"metropolitan\" status for Montr\u00e9al, as do many other cultural workers and organisations.\nMontreal is distinct from the rest of Quebec. Most Montreals don't care what language people speak in their own homes or to each other. Last I heard, Montreal is the most trilingual city in the world. It is the economic engine of Quebec and its liaison with the rest of North America specifically because of English and the many other languages spoken here.\nLike Alan, I couldn't care less about signage. Me and mine already have access to Engish schools. It's francophones that are legally prevented from attending the schools of their choice. Individual rights don't always trump collective rights but neither should collective desires trump individual rights.\nKeeing francophones unilingual makes them captive workers. You can bet all the bosses and their kids speak English. Just gotta make sure the worker class doesn't learn it.\nQS's version of sovereignty is multicultural but that makes no sense to a large number of sovereigntists to whom the main point is maintaining traditional Quebecois culture not just that everybody speaks French when out and about. The point of bill 101 was to assimilate immigrants. That's why it is so upsetting that immigrants still speak their original language at home. It means they aren't assimilating. French families have left Montreal because the schools are reaching 50% immigrant population and they want their children to have the same traditional experience as they did growing up. While I favor what I consider the more enriching experience of growing up exposed to multiple cultures I can still see the appeal of living in a community with more closely shared traditions. We respect the right of Hasidic Jews and other groups to have freedom of association. It isn't racist. It's a desire to preserve a way of life.\nThe PQ also tried to change the focus to just language and that is another reason they have dropped support and CAQ has increased support. Many people feel threatened by immigration. They don't want the face of the province to just remain French they want the province to remain traditional Quebecois. They want separation of church and state but they want the nativity scenes and Christmas trees to remain the face of Christmas in Quebec. Language is just one protective aspect of culture not the be all and end all of it.\nCAQ is appealing to the garrison mentality of a people under siege, threatened first by assimilation into English Canada and now by a growing immigrant population that will eventually dominate the province after it dominates Montreal. Preservation has always been at the root of the sovereignty movement. Just because leaders want to change that and make it all about language doesn't mean the motivation of the people can be changed.\nThe issue of immigration will only grow as the percentage of immigrants in Montreal and Quebec rises.\nOut of curiosity, I just went through the entire cabinet on Wikipedia. 12 represent Montr\u00e9al island ridings, 13 represent the \"rest of Qu\u00e9bec\", of whom more than half are from places like Laval and Brossard, not Rimouski. Montr\u00e9al isn't excluded from government; indeed, if the CAQ wins, it'll win because it's made a breakthrough on the island, and those MNAs will be favoured to be in cabinet. Truly rural ridings like Rouyn-Noranda or \u00celes-de-la-Madeleine are overrepresented in relation to their population, but the provincial government isn't being run from Saint-Louis-du-Ha! Ha!. (Also, I don't visit the regions often, as a downtown-dweller without a car, but every time I do, I'm surprised by them being more linguistically diverse, and having a larger First Nations population, than my stereotype gives them credit for.)\nThe reason Montr\u00e9al feels (and often is) ignored politically isn't due to a conspiracy of farmers and miners to lock out Qu\u00e9bec's largest city. It's because Montr\u00e9al voters don't swing very much, at least between the PQ and the PLQ. Those bases are locked in, and can thus safely be ignored.\nOn another note: Is it time to start a new thread entitled \"Qu\u00e9bec general election, 2018\"? This thread has drifted from speculation about the potential existence of an NPDQ to a chronicle of the birth of said NPDQ to a general election thread.\nhttp://www.cbc.ca/beta/news/canada/montreal/bloc-leader-martine-ouellet-announcement-1.4561003\nI wonder if any of these 7 soft-nationalist ex-BQ MPs are looking to cross the floor to join another party or even jump to provincial politics to run for a new party in the Quebec election.\nThose seven MPs don't want Ouellet ruining their chances of re-election by talking about sovereignty.\nSovereignty is not a dead electoral issue in Quebec. 7 MPs became independents over it. Sovereignists don't even want to talk about it.\nThe Liberals are the best hope we have this election <shudder> but for the future the NDPQ is our best hope.\nThe latest Leger poll has the NDPQ listed in the poll for the first time at 2%. Not earth shattering but its a start.\nYes, so far all our wins (QS) have been in formerly PQ ridings, but rather distinctive ones. However, we did surprisingly well in Verdun. Rather distinctive as G\u00e9rald Godin was among the farthest left of the original PQ caucus, and distinguished himself by his efforts in favour of immigrant workers. And St-Jacques (now Ste-Marie-St-Jacques) was well known as an LGBT-friendly riding (Q didn't exist back then). Claude Charron and Andr\u00e9 Boulerice were both openly gay.\nhttp://montrealgazette.com/news/quebec/poll-shows-caq-at-37-support-in-q...\nPietro is right that it is at least a starting point. One interesting side note is the NDPQ is ahead of the Green Party and neck and neck with the Conservative party. Both had finished ahead of NDPQ in the recent Louis-Hebert by election.\nPondering...the sovereignty thing seems to be slowly dying on its own at this stage...why are you still so fixated on rhetorically beating it with a stick? The October Crisis was 48 years ago, Levesque is dead, Parizeau is dead, Duceppe is in retirement, the PQ is dying, the BQ is now essentially dead, and there hasn't been an referendum since '96. Why are you still acting like this is an existential crisis? Why don't you take the defection of the 7 Bloc MPs as a sign that you can ease up about this? Their defection actually supports the argument that sovereignty is(for many years to come) a dead issue in Quebec.\n\u200bWhat's the point of being in a vindictive rage about something that is clearly fading away on its own? Obsessing about the sovereigntist menace is kind of like living in fear that that the Hapsburgs will be restored to the throne.\nYou clearly do not understand. I am not the least bit concerned that Quebec will separate. Not even a tiny bit. If Quebec were more progressive I might even support separation but that is just an intellectual exercise.\nMy concern is to get a leftist government in power. The only way that will happen is if we have a non-sovereignist option on the left. If Quebec Solidaire were non-sovereignist maybe they could win more support, not from me, they already get my vote, but from other Quebecers. It's like if a political party insisted on closing bridges to Montreal. The rest of their platform wouldn't matter. They would lose. If it was a party I supported I would be pissed off that they took a stupid position.\nThat seven MPs would leave the Bloc because their leader insists on talking about sovereignty just goes to show how poisonous the topic is in Quebec. QS is married to it therefore they can't win.\nI want a leftist party that can win. The NDPQ could grow into that party. QS cannot.\nThe NDPQ and QS are not in competition. The NDPQ is in competition for non-sovereignist votes. QS is in competition for sovereignist votes.\nI resent that the only place for a non-sovereignist vote is the Liberals or CAQ. I think we deserve a leftist option. I find it really offensive that anyone would be against my having that choice presumably because they want to force me to choose between right wing and sovereignty.\nI don't support either. I deserve a choice.\nP.S. If anyone is in a vindictive rage it's people who don't want anyone else to have a chance to win votes that they can't win themselves, like QS.\nAnd you've apparently got that choice now, so you've got nothing to belabor here.\nI was countering the argument you and others make that sovereignty is no longer an election issue in Quebec therefore there is no need for an NDPQ when clearly sovereignty very much is an election issue.\nThese seven MPs are evidence of that.\nAs far as I can tell it is the norm on this board to continue posting supporting facts and arguments about things posters believe in or support or are against.\nhttp://blog.qc125.com/2018/03/sondage-recherche-mainstreet-le-plq-bel.html\nNew mainstreet poll.\nNDPQ at 3%, Quebec Conservatives at 4%. I'm glad that there are some new options being built from the ground up that will challenge certain points of view that are just seen as a given and actually give us some real federalist choices, instead of just having 1.\nPerhaps I misread what I read, but did this seven leave over sovereignty? I got the sense that they left over the leader's autocratic style.\nThat was part of it but the sovereignty issue was the catalyst.\nIn a statement about their decision to quit, the seven MPs blamed Ouellet for focusing so much on sovereignty that the broader economic and cultural interests of Quebec were getting lost in the shuffle. They said internal fractures were distracting from the party\u2019s ultimate goal of standing up for the province.\n\u201cWhile we argue amongst ourselves in the public eye, we are not adequately defending the interests of Quebecers, we are not playing the role that the public elected us to perform,\u201d they said in a French-language statement. \u201cQuebec has nothing to gain from disputes within the Bloc Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois.\u201d\nhttp://nationalpost.com/news/politics/newsalert-seven-of-10-bloc-quebeco...\nIn a statement about their decision to quit, the seven MPs blamed Ouellet for focusing so much on sovereignty that the broader economic and cultural interests of Quebec were getting lost in the shuffle.\nOK, fair enough. I agree that's pretty silly, and also proof that nothing's dead when it's still breathing and has a pulse.\nTo clarify, the MPs were upset that Oullette was LEADING with the sovereignty issue to the exclusion of all else. They aren't formally renouncing sovereigntism...just wanted other issues put more to the forefront, as Duceppe did.\nIt's exceedingly unlikely that any of them would end up supporting the federal NDP or the NPD-Q.\nLook, the NPD-Q is going to be a thing. Fine. What I'm saying is there's no reason to act as if there's an imminent threat of another referendum until the moment all sovereigntist MPs and MNAs are defeated. It's there in the background, it's the frame a lot of the Quebec left see things through(even if most of them have essentially decided it's not the main issue and shouldn't be brought up for many years to come) but for all practical purposes it's an extinct thing now.\nMy main point is that you have no reason to be living in fear of Quebec independence. It most likely won't happen, and it doesn't make any difference whether or not everybody in Quebec has recanted any support they ever gave to the idea. There is no clear and present danger here and it makes no difference if there's a tiny handful of people still dreaming of something that's not going to happen.\n\u200bYou have the right to post whatever you want, but others have the right to point it out when you are sounding the alarm about a fire that's nothing but embers in the rain.\nit's the frame a lot of the Quebec left see things through(even if most of them have essentially decided it's not the main issue and shouldn't be brought up for many years to come)\nUm, that doesn't really make sense.\nIs it the frame they choose to see things through, or is it relatively unimportant? It's one or the other, unless it's neither.\nIt's the way they've organized their activism and analyzed politics. But it's not the ONLY thing they care about. And it's clear that the sovereignty as an immediate goal or even a medium-range goal is not their priority. But the one thing you can't do is to demand that they outright renounce sovereigntism...asking that is asking these people to essentially surrender to Anglo-supremacism. Rather than causing them to let go of sovereigntism as part of their political identity, demanding they formally renounce it or making an all out effort to wipe them off of the political map is only going to make soft sovereigntists(the anti-Oulette Bloc MPs would be in that category, as would Duceppe and, in my view, most people who vote QS) dig in, to provoke them to fight back simply out of resentment at the insistence that they make some sort of gesture of official surrender.\nSovereignty is slowly dying out. The best thing to do, for those who really want it to go away, is to leave it at that-to get out of the mindset that the idea is something that HAS to be crushed, has to be eradicated. Sovereigntism is simply an idea, and as an idea it is neither intrinsically good nor intrinsicall evil.\nSovereigntism is dying a slow death on its own\nIt's the way they've organized their activism and analyzed politics. But it's not the ONLY thing they care about.\nBut if, as you say, it's the frame they see things through, would it be fair to say that it's the thing they care most about? Or else why that?\nThey aren't formally renouncing sovereigntism...just wanted other issues put more to the forefront, as Duceppe did.\nWhere did I suggest otherwise? It's like you don't even read my posts. The only point I am making is that talking about sovereignty is electoral suicide even for a sovereignist party. People just don't want to hear it anymore. That is why the seven quit. They don't want to lose their seats in 2019. Yes, she is too autocratic, she won't shut up about sovereignty when her caucus is advising her that they want to focus on representing Quebec's interests and sovereignty is a distraction from that. That's what she is too autocratic about. She wants sovereignty front and centre. Peladeau's fist pump for sovereignty ruined the PQ chances now the Bloc has a pig-headed leader who wants to follow him to defeat.\nWhat I'm saying is there's no reason to act as if there's an imminent threat of another referendum until the moment all sovereigntist MPs and MNAs are defeated.\n\u200bRead carefully please because I have already said this. There is no danger of another referendum. There is no danger of Quebec ever separating from Canada. It's not going to happen. I'm not afraid it is going to happen. I might even support it depending on why it is happening. The sovereignty movement is in permanent decline. Demographics guarantee it.\nIt's there in the background, it's the frame a lot of the Quebec left see things through(even if most of them have essentially decided it's not the main issue and shouldn't be brought up for many years to come) but for all practical purposes it's an extinct thing now.\nThe fact that they see everything through the lens of an unpopular topic is why they won't grow. I don't expect QS to renounce sovereignty especially after the merger with ON but they are a party stuck in the past despite their new young charismatic co-leader. For a protest party they have done really well but they will never lead Quebec. They will win seats not elections.\nExcept I'm not the one raising the alarm. The people who don't want the NDPQ to exist are the one's raising the alarm. They don't want to see support for the NDPQ here.\nThe leading parties in Quebec, by a long shot, are the CAQ and the Liberals, both right wing. Both non-sovereignist.\nThe L\u00e9ger poll for Le Devoir released Saturday puts the CAQ ahead, with 36 per cent in popular support, compared with 32 per cent for the Quebec Liberal Party, 19 per cent for the Parti Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois and 11 per cent for Qu\u00e9bec solidaire.\nWith 43 per cent of voting intentions among francophones, Fran\u00e7ois Legault\u2019s CAQ could form a \u201cclear majority\u201d government, according to Jean-Marc L\u00e9ger, president of the polling firm.\nOnly nine per cent of respondents believe that PQ Leader Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Lis\u00e9e would make the best premier, tied with Manon Mass\u00e9 and Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois, co-spokespersons for Qu\u00e9bec solidaire.\nFully 29 per cent say Legault would make the best premier, while 17 per cent say Premier Philippe Couillard is the best leader.\nhttp://montrealgazette.com/news/local-news/new-poll-caq-most-popular-par...\nI want to make it really really clear that I do not fear another referendum. As you have noted, sovereignty is on the decline. If the left ties itself to sovereignty then the left is also in decline.\nI don't think sovereignty is an issue worth dooming Quebec to right wing parties until it is achieved. Perhaps that is exactly what QS supporters want in the hopes things get so bad people will vote QS out of desperation.\nSovereignty is slowly dying out. The best thing to do, for those who really want it to go away, is to leave it at that-to get out of the mindset that the idea is something that HAS to be crushed, has to be eradicated.\nOf course there is no need to crush it or eradicate it. It's dying along with every party dedicated to it. QS felt their best way forward was merging with ON and keeping sovereignty as a long term goal. That's fine. Sovereignists deserve to have a leftist party they can vote for that supports their goal. Non-sovereignists deserve the same.\nWhat's objectionable is the opinion that non-sovereignists should have to choose between voting right-wing or voting for a sovereignist party. That has led to successive right-wing governments.\nIf QS would rather see us under right wing governments, even CAQ, then see a non-sovereignist left-wing party then QS is in it for QS not for Quebecers and there is no solidarity in that.\nThe Quebec NDP is meeting this weekend to flesh out it's plans for the upcoming Quebec election:\nhttp://www.tvanouvelles.ca/2018/05/02/les-membres-du-ndp-quebec-se-reuni...\nMy enthusiasm for the NDPQ has fallen greatly, specifically for their support of implementing the Bouchard Taylor commission recommendations. I'm currently leaning towards leaving the party and joining the Quebec Green Party if they adopt that as part of their platform. I was against it when the PQ tried to support discrimination through the Charter of Values and I'm again this as well. I agree with Charles Taylor when he says such laws promote the stigmatization of Muslims. If they pass this resolution, I'm not ashamed to say I was wrong about the party. I searched the other parties and the Green Party is the only one who doesn't support some form of discrimination towards religious minorities, so that makes my choice easy.\nWhere does Quebec Solidaire stand on the Bouchard Taylor Commission recommendations?\nThey support them.\nhttp://montrealgazette.com/news/local-news/quebec-solidaire-mna-amir-kha...\nI read into Amir Khadir's parting words a slight discomfort perhaps with QS's direction towards the sovereignty movement. I think I am not alone in believing he would be a great MP for the NDP. Hello Outremont.\nHe already ran federally in Outremont, for the Bloc, in 2000. He's both too leftist (that is to say, actually leftist) and too sovereigntist for the current NDP to accept him. Not to mention he'd immediately become potential leadership competition.\nIn the QS statements on the economy, they are talking about setting up non-profit corporations. With enough will, they could be set up even if the QS is not in power. If they can think of something like that, Amir would certainly be a good manager, and now he is retired from the National Assembly, he could do that with no conflict.\nhttps://ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/1098281/rosemont-npd-quebec-prensente-ancienne-deputee-federale\nPaulina Ayala to run in Rosemont for NDP-Q. Media says they will split the vote. Gee, I\u2019ve never heard that narrative before. I\u2019m glad the media is unbiased and has no skin in the game.\nUNBIASED?\nUnbiased is what I said. Do you think the media is objective and is committed to the NDPQ or QS getting fair and equal coverage? Or do you think that corporate media interests are better represented in the three established parties \u2014 Liberals, CAQ and PQ?\nMy enthusiasm for the NDPQ has fallen greatly, specifically for their support of implementing the Bouchard Taylor commission recommendations.\nWere you paying attention when the federal NDP publicly supported the Bouchard Taylor recommendations? This was from August 2013:\nMulcair made the NDP's presentation to the Bouchard-Taylor Commission, which conducted public hearings in 2007 on the impact of religious accommodation on Quebec's identity and values. The commission was run by sociologist G\u00e9rard Bouchard and philosopher Charles Taylor. He says the NDP agree with the recommendations of that report and will stand up against any proposal contrary to it.\nI was very surprised at Mulcair's support for Bouchard Taylor, so soon after I opened a thread to discuss it here, entitled: Where does the NDP stand on religious symbols worn by judges and police?\nMaybe I'll bump that thread, given the discussion now about NPDQ.\nI actually wasn't aware of that, I wonder what Jagmeet Singh's view on the Bouchard Taylor commission is.\nHere is the Quebec NDP leader\u2019s position:\nHave you decided on where the party will stand on issues of identity?\nWe don't have a platform yet but I can tell you that there's consensus in Quebec, outlined in the Bouchard-Taylor report. For us, I think it will be close to that. I think so.\nExcept that Charles Taylor, who was part of that commission, has said that, with the passage of time, he no longer agrees with the conclusion of the Bouchard-Taylor report.\nThat's his opinion, but I think there's a consensus in Quebec that people in authority like a judge or police officers shouldn't wear religious symbols, but the for the rest ... It's a divisive subject. I don't think it's what people want to talk about. They want to talk about education and health care, not about religious symbols.\nWe've been told that there'd be this huge base of support for a \"center-left, federalist\" party in Quebec elections. The NPD-Q exists, it's been talked up endlessly in the corporate media...where's the support?\nThe more pressing question may be whether the QNDP does any worse this fall than the federal NDP does next spring? Seems like the whole brand is tanking in La belle province right now.\nThey've got incumbants. There's no way they'll do worse.\nI was a member, but left over Bouchard Taylor. Very disappointed, but I guess my support is going to the Green Party.\nIt hasn't been talked up by the corporate media endlessly. The last major mention of the party I can find is the general council they held at the beginning of May, no significant mentions in 2 months isn't endless talking up. The corporate media is talking up the CAQ if anyone.\nThere are these very artistic signs up all over my neighborhood in Montreal equating the Liberals and the CAQ. I didn't look at them closely, but I think a number of unions are paying for them.\nI guess the Liberals won't get wiped out so badly as they were in Ontario, as there is a lot of stubborn support from non-franco communities. However it looks like outside Montreal the franco vote is swinging to the CAQ, mainly because of immigration, and a desire to punish the Liberals for Jean Charest-Mulroney.\nThe union campaign (if that is what it is) might even make the non-franco vote feel more comfortable voting for the CAQ, if they are being told there is no essential difference. Kind of a backfire, if you ask me.\nNot sure about that - the campaign is against the Qu\u00e9bec Liberals (who are well to the right of the federal counterpart) and the CAQ.\nSeveral unions are involved, but it doesn't seem to be a campaign by the labour confederations per se.\nI think the CAQ are even farther right than the Liberals, but certainly would never vote for either. They are both really bad on important environmental issues such as developing public transport.\nI look at Alberta,the Prairies and now Ontario and look at whats going on in the US,I'd be pleased with a Liberal victory. Get back to me in 4 ro 8 years when the QNPD becomes (hopefully) a relevent and contending party.\nRight now it's a 2 way race between the Liberals and CAQ. At least with Couillard and the Liberals,I know what I'm getting,CAQ seems to be a gathering of Randists,Racists and far right cretins. I have a TON of issues with PLQ but CAQ is far more dangerous in many aspects. I'd gladly vote Liberals if it meant stopping CAQ.\nI wish the PQ were still the traditional alternative. Oh well. Things are not going to be pleasant for the next 4 years or so until the QNPD becomes a brand with a following.",

        "raw_content": "Chur- Arosa\nThe Chur-Arosa branch of the Rhaetian Railways (Rh B) links the town of Chur with the mountain resort of Arosa. It has to overcome a height difference of 1150m in a distance of 25 km, and most of the route clings perilously to the side of a steep valley, with fabulous views. The most famous spot on the line is Langwies, where it crosses the valley on a spectacular concrete arch viaduct.\nThis is a very interesting project to model in Rail3D 2kd \u2014 it includes a section of \u201ctramway\u201d through the streets of Chur, demanding terrain, there are opportunities for a few interesting custom scenery objects, and operations are relatively simple so there\u2019s plenty of scope for tinkering without messing everything up\u2026\nOne of the most interesting aspects of this project for me has been the opportunity to play with the various terrain features of Rail3D 2kd as they have developed over the last couple of years.\nWith build 92 using the new trees\nsrtm terrain\nThe screenshots above were made with the first versions of the layout, using terrain points entered by hand. This worked well for the foreground and middle distance, but distant mountains were far too sketchy and full of holes. Consequently, I decided to try again UsingSRTM Terrain Data.\nAs usual, the layout looked horrible at first \u2014 terrain spikes, ludicrously deep cuttings, tunnels exposed to daylight, etc. By the usual process of deleting points close to the track and running track stitching to replace them (see Mark\u2019s article on his IOW ayout for a description of the nuts and bolts of this), it took me a couple of (longish) sessions to get it into a moderately satisfactory shape.\nGetting away from good old grass.bmp\u2026\nThese screenshots are made with Build 101.5, where mrg has been tweaking the visibility of distant mountains. I\u2019ve replaced the default grass texture with a chunk from a photograph of a Swiss hillside, blurred and processed to make it tile seamlessly. By prefixing the texture name with 500_ it is made to tile at a 500m interval, which means that the repetition of the pattern is not obvious at first sight. On reflection, I should probably have used an aerial photo \u2014 if you look carefully, you can see that in some places the trees are \u201cupside down\u201d on the hillsides!\nView of Arosa with new terrain texture\nmrg noticed that I\u2019d got the station in the wrong place in the above screenshot \u2014 a drawback of using a rather blurry scan of the 1:50000 map in the Digitiser. With the help of a 1:25000 map, I\u2019ve completely reworked the Arosa area for Version 25 of the layout, and the station is now correctly located on the shore of the upper lake (not the lower lake, as in the picture).

Rally has exceeded our expectations: they\u2019ve done everything they promised they would do, and we\u2019ve gotten a lot of looks from companies that we would not have had without them. So it\u2019s been a good relationship, but it all starts with the people.\u201d\n\u201cI like their dashboard. It\u2019s very convenient.\u201d\nAR Funding\n\u201cIt\u2019s a cost-effective way to reach a lot of different people.\u201d\n\u201cI\u2019m not a big fan of receiving (unsolicited) emails, so I was concerned about Rally Prospecting\u2019s service. But it works. We\u2019ve had a couple of sales from it, and our sales people who are taking full advantage of it are seeing a lot more success than the others. It\u2019s my challenge to show them that if you invest the time you will receive some benefits from it. It\u2019s a fairly inexpensive way to do a broad, shut gun approach at marketing; it\u2019s a cost-effective way to reach a lot of different people. When we used postcards, we wouldn\u2019t know until they called us if they were interested. Rally\u2019s services go more in-depth, giving us more feedback about how we\u2019re spending our resources.\u201d\n\u201cWe\u2019ve had some concerns, but Mike and Erika have been very responsive. Of course, I\u2019d recommend the service.\u201d\nFind out how Rally Prospecting works with companies in the Financial Industry.\nBright+Co\n\"I like Rally\u2019s technology \u2013 they have a unique tool!\"\n\u201cI sell Rally\u2019s services to my clients. I work with large manufacturers, and for clients that need databases quickly it\u2019s really the only thing out there that does what it does.

I\u2019ve scoped out almost every tool out there, and there\u2019s nothing like what Rally does today. They\u2019re the only ones in the market. With the combination of Erika and Mike having our backs - our clients\u2019 backs \u2013 they\u2019re always looking out for me.\u201d\nJerry Crane\nGroup Alpha\nWhat attracted me to Rally Prospecting was their capability of going out and reaching out to people through emails, in an automated fashion. We\u2019ve tried phoning people directly, but it\u2019s much more effective to make the initial contact by email. Almost everyone is hard to get ahold of by phone because everyone\u2019s busy. But they can answer emails at their leisure.\nFind out how Rally Prospecting works with companies in the Industrial Sector.\nKristy Crandall\nAmerican Bus Sales\n\"I have been very pleased with the services they offer as well as their ability to customize services to meet my needs as we change.\"\nI have used Rally for 5 months now and I have been very pleased with the services they offer as well as their ability to customize services to meet my needs as we change.

I think their overall process is very well organized and very easy to use. The main thing that drew me to their services was getting results. Their technology was a big, added benefit because of how easy it was to use and how well organized it is.\nSchemmer Associates\n\u201cThey do a good job of gaining people\u2019s attention...\u201d\n\u201cOur number one concern was: \u201cWill this work?\u201d I think that\u2019s already been answered. We know the concept of drip marketing does work. Cold calling is very inefficient, and talking to people who don\u2019t want to talk with you is a big waste of time. But Rally Prospecting\u2019s system saves me from spending all of my time looking for that needle in a haystack.

Rally has business development representatives who keep working with leads until someone wants to schedule a conversation with us. So we only show up when there\u2019s a call for us and our team, which means we\u2019re only talking to the good leads. Rally is very easy to work with and very easy to reach. They do a good job writing the copy for emails, and over time they\u2019ve gotten to know our business better, which helps out. The longer you use them, the better your results.\u201d\n\"Their technology is good, simple to understand, easy to use\u2026\"\n\u201cRally brings consistency to the level of effort they\u2019re providing, and they provide coverage.

From my standpoint, it\u2019s simple and easy to understand, which is good because I don\u2019t spend a lot of time on it, but when I do need to jump into the portal and look at the dashboard, it\u2019s pretty easy to understand.

        "title": "As deadline looms, a look at how taxes shaped our architecture",
        "raw_content": "As filing deadline looms, a look at how taxes have shaped our architecture\n.\t\u2014Hal Mayforth for The Boston Globe\nIt\u2019s not just architects and developers who have defined our built environment over the past few hundred years. The hidden hand of the tax collector has also helped to shape our homes, skylines, and cityscapes \u2014 though maybe not in ways you\u2019d expect.\nIf you\u2019ve ever visited a historic house, you may have heard a tour guide describe how tax laws of yore influenced the architecture of the day, as builders and homeowners sought to skirt fees on everything from windows to doors to closets. They\u2019re great stories, but unfortunately, there\u2019s not much evidence such taxes existed in early America.\nFor example, some say that narrow \u201cshotgun houses\u2019\u2019 gained popularity in New Orleans because homes there were taxed by their street frontage or that those beautiful oversized windows that reach the floors in the city\u2019s Garden District were a response to a per-door tax. But if such taxes existed, historians haven\u2019t been able to find any records of them.\nDaniel Bluestone, director of preservation studies and a professor of architectural history at Boston University, says the shotgun house was more likely a reaction to the climate than to any local levy. Instead of building row houses that shared a wall \u2014 a typical approach on dense city lots \u2014 it would have been important to have windows that could open on all sides. \u201cThose houses are designed so they\u2019ll reach out and grab every passing breeze in the context of an incredibly hot, muggy climate, so they tend to be one room deep,\u2019\u2019 he said.\nBut even if tax law didn\u2019t determine your home\u2019s original look, it might inform your remodeling decisions, said Duo Dickinson, a Connecticut architect and coauthor of the book \u201cA Home Called New England.\u2019\u2019 Any new construction or addition is bound to increase the value of your home, Dickinson said, thereby increasing your tax bill. And with a new law capping local property tax deductions at $10,000, he said, homeowners are being more careful than ever.\nBut because appraisers generally use standardized methods to assess a home\u2019s value, Dickinson said, there are ways to renovate without adding new taxable rooms or square footage \u2014 such as by keeping the ceiling in a finished attic high enough so it doesn\u2019t hit your head, but low enough that it doesn\u2019t hit your tax assessment.\n\u201cIn many zoning codes, they use ceiling height when they define habitable square footage,\u2019\u2019 Dickinson said \u2014 and if a ceiling is under 7 feet, it\u2019s not viewed as livable space. \u201cWell, the majority of people using attics use that space as a play room or bedroom or study, and a 6-foot, 11.5-inch ceiling in those places \u2014 it may be pretty tight, but it\u2019s OK if you\u2019re sleeping or on a sofa watching TV or doing homework at a desk.\u2019\u2019\nLikewise, many clients prefer a den to an extra bedroom, which would increase the home\u2019s value more substantially.\n\u201cThe definition of a bedroom in most places is a room with a closeable door, plus a closet and natural light,\u2019\u2019 Dickinson said. \u201cSo a lot of people, they\u2019ll have a room with a 5-foot opening with no door or closet, and it\u2019ll be a den or a family room \u2014 but with a pullout sofa so it can become a spare bedroom. And the house is no bigger or smaller, but it has a lower tax bill and smaller septic requirement.\u2019\u2019\nNow, there really was a window tax back in the day \u2014 in England, from 1696 to 1851. Thought to be the inspiration for the term \u201cdaylight robbery,\u2019\u2019 the per-window penalty was a crude proxy for taxing property and wealth: Glass was expensive, and the bigger your home, the more windows you\u2019d have.\nThe fee schedule for the window tax varied over its 155 years, according to a study by Wallace E. Oates and Robert M. Schwab of the University of Maryland College Park. But builders did respond to it by reducing window counts, and many occupants bricked or boarded up windows \u2014 especially after Prime Minister William Pitt tripled the tax in 1797.\nPublic pressure, including a stinging rebuke by Charles Dickens himself, helped force the repeal of what amounted to a tax on sunlight and air, but its legacy is still on display in some bricked-up windows in England and Scotland.\nThe British also imposed a per-brick tax from 1794 to 1850, which led to the use of larger bricks \u2014 a subtle but visible difference in some early 19th-century homes there. And from 1712 to 1836, there was a tax on printed wallpaper, which savvy designers would dodge by hand-stenciling.\nIn 19th-century Paris, it may have been a height restriction, not a tax, that led builders to embrace the mansard roofs now visible all over the city. Steep slopes and dormered windows allowed them to squeeze in one more floor of living space above the official roof line, the theory goes. Either way, the chic Second Empire look became popular in its own right, landing atop the brownstones of Boston\u2019s new Back Bay and in places with no such restrictions in place.\n\u201cThe mansard roofs in Paris come to represent a sort of urban order and cosmopolitanism that does get appropriated in settings where the building codes are quite different,\u2019\u2019 Bluestone said.\nAnother item in the tax code that shaped America\u2019s 20th-century urban skyline was a deduction for obsolescence \u2014 when a still-useful building would suddenly lose its value because a new and better one sprang up nearby.\n\u201cWhen the federal income tax was introduced about a hundred years ago, there was an allowance that people could deduct for obsolescence, including in office buildings,\u2019\u2019 said Daniel M. Abramson, director of architectural studies at Boston University and author of \u201cObsolescence: An Architectural History.\u2019\u2019\nIf you could convincingly calculate a shorter lifespan for your building, you could get a bigger tax break. As a result, the idea that buildings had a kind of expiration date \u2014 that after 30 years, any given school or office building might be demolished to make way for a new and improved one \u2014 worked its way first into architectural and then into even mainstream thinking. \u201cThe tax code worked its way inside people\u2019s heads,\u2019\u2019 Abramson said.\n\u201cIn the 1930s, \u201940s, and \u201950s, people liked the idea of new things. That was a knee-jerk reaction for a while: If something wasn\u2019t working, tear it down to get something new,\u2019\u2019 Abramson said. But as demolition grew commonplace, people grew more wary \u2014 especially as fairly new structures, like New York\u2019s original Pennsylvania Station, got hit by the wrecking ball. \u201cIt\u2019s disturbing to see a building torn down that was built in your lifetime,\u2019\u2019 Abramson said.\nThe public backlash eventually found its way into yet another tax policy \u2014 one that still affects our cityscapes: a 20 percent investment tax credit for renovating historic buildings, which aimed to level the playing field between new construction and restoration. It didn\u2019t influence architecture at the time of construction, but has enormous sway on what\u2019s still standing. \u201cThe tax credits for historic rehabilitation have absolutely fueled the modern preservation movement,\u2019\u2019 Bluestone said.\nAs much as new construction defines a skyline, keeping what\u2019s already been built is \u201cequally important for the way a place like Boston looks,\u2019\u2019 Bluestone said. \u201cWe have this storied landscape that people value now, and we\u2019ve worked really hard in parts of the city to hold on to the historic character of the buildings.\u2019\u2019\nThe National Park Service says the historic tax credit has leveraged about $90 billion in private investment to restore more than 43,000buildings in all 50 states since 1976, and plenty of that money has been spent saving buildings around Boston. Old schools and mills that were converted into condos, the former Charles Street Jail,which is now the Liberty Hotel, even Fenway Park \u2014 all have received tax incentives to encourage their restoration.\nThe tax code has helped change the look of my own house in several ways, too. My wife and I replaced dozens of windows to claim a $1,500 tax credit about eight years ago (though I now wish we had restored the originals instead), and installed rooftop solar panels last year, taking advantage of a 30 percent credit that\u2019s still available (which I don\u2019t regret at all).\n\u201cTax credits for all residential renewable energy products like solar panels, solar water heaters, and geothermal pumps installed in your home have been extended through Dec. 31, 2021, and allow you to deduct 30 percent of your expenses through 2019,\u2019\u2019 said Lisa Greene-Lewis, a CPA at TurboTax.\nAnd because I work from home, I could deduct a larger portion of our utilities and mortgage interest if I had a bigger, dedicated home office. \u201cIf you want to deduct your home office space, make sure it meets the requirement \u2014 it\u2019s a space that is exclusively and regularly used for your business,\u2019\u2019 Greene-Lewis said.\nBut despite the hidden role of taxes in determining how we design, build, and renovate homes, a desire to dodge them \u201cshouldn\u2019t be a motivator to suppress improvement of an existing space,\u2019\u2019 Dickinson said. Our homes should reflect and project who we are, he added.\n\u201cHomes are these exquisitely unique things \u2014 unique to humans and unique to each human.\u2019\u2019\nIn a way, I suppose, so are taxes.\nJon Gorey blogs about homes at HouseandHammer.com.

        "raw_content": "A two-day program pairing pre-service teachers with science undergraduates, to encourage science teaching as a profession.\nAssociate Professor Wee Tiong Seah, University of Melbourne. wt.seah@unimelb.edu.au\nInvolved 30 pre-service teachers and 30 science undergraduate science students over two years\nCollaborative planning and delivery of an activity in a placement school\nExposed particpants to teaching as a career\nHave you ever wished you could go back into the classroom and see your teachers with new eyes? Back To School, a ReMSTEP activity from the University of Melbourne, sought to give this opportunity to science undergraduates, to show them how a modern classroom operates, and encourage them to pursue teaching careers.\nThis two-day program brought together 15 science undergraduates and 15 pre-service teachers (PSTs) from the University of Melbourne, in 2015 and again 2016. The aim of the program was for science undergraduates to learn about teaching, and for PSTs to learn about teaching science.\nUoM Science undergrads experiencing, again, what its like in a (East Bentleigh) primary school classroom\nOn the first day, pairs or PSTs and undergraduates were to plan activities on a mathematics or science topic set by the placement schools, East Bentleigh Primary School and Bentleigh Secondary College. The PSTs assisted the undergraduates to understand teaching concepts and educational principles. On the second day, the science undergraduates delivered the activities they and the PSTs had planned together.\nBy bringing the PSTs and the science undergraduates together, another dimension was added to the overall experience of the undergraduate students. Not only did they get to experience personally what current-day Australian maths and science lessons look like, they also got to interact with future teachers over the course of the project. The exchange of experiences (and emotions) between the science undergraduates and their respective PSTs was also of great benefit to the undergraduates, who might not be clear what careers they intend to pursue, or who might want to know more about the reality of classroom teaching.\nNormally, teachers are standing up so they are looking down at their students. But the teacher in the class that I observed, he said try to get down to the same level with the students. To me that showed how the teacher could build a closer relationship with the students. It showed me a different perspective than I'm used and that teaching done differently can be done in a way that makes a difference. That's encouraging to me.\nUndergratuate science student\nWhat I took away from this experience was that when students have to actually think about how to teach someone else they really come to understand what they know and don't know. They actually have to get down to the nuts and bolts of what they are working with in order to be able to teach their fellow students.\nThe experience was described as \u201ceye-opening\u201d by both the undergraduate science students and the PSTs. During the program, both groups had opportunity to talk and network with the staff of the placement schools, and some created friendships that will serve them well as they enter the workforce.\nI think it is important that our students in the teacher education programs go through as many experiences as possible before they decide what type of teacher they want to be\u2026 The whole experience was about\u2026 allowing them to re-conceptualise what Mathematics and Science classrooms across a range of schools are like from when they were students themselves.\nAProf Wee Tiong Seah, Program organiser\nBy coming back to school, the science undergraduates were given the opportunity to see first-hand what maths and science lessons can look like, and to experience the sheer joy of interacting with children and seeing them learn and understand. Having seen what what school teaching in Australia was really like, they have also become potential spokespeople for careers in maths and science teaching in their student communities.\nAssociate Professor Wee Tiong Seah, discusses the activity at the 2016 ReMSTEP conference",

        "raw_content": "AYALA LAND expands to Kuala Lumpur\nMANILA -- The board of Ayala Land Inc. (ALI) has given the go signal to commence with an ambitious residential project in Malaysia, which is reportedly part of the local property giant's aggressive overseas expansion.\nALI President and Chief Executive Officer Bernard Vincent Dy said its Board approved the purchase of 9.25-acre property in Klang Valley area in Kuala Lumpur, the firm\u2019s first land acquisition after it increased its equity stake in Malaysian property and construction firm, MCT Bhd, to 66.25 percent in February.\n\u201cWe will do some mixed-use estates but on the residential side, (we will) primarily focus on middle-income housing developments --vertical and some house and lot horizontal,\u201d he said in a press briefing after the company\u2019s stockholders\u2019 meeting Wednesday.\nMean Dy, head of ALI\u2019s Strategic Landbank Management Group, said they target to break ground on a residential development in Malaysia next year, and aim to complete the project in three years.\n\u201cThat\u2019s a fast-growing (segment) in Malaysia,\u201d she said. \u201cAs this company grows and the balance sheet grows with it, it would be in a better position to be investing in leasing assets also. But right now, I think it\u2019s better equipped to grow (the business) through some of the residential products.\u201d\nMeanwhile, ALI's CEO said the company is also expanding across all business segments this year.\nHe said it targets to open four malls, three office buildings, three Seda hotels and two more estates this year.\n\u201cGiven the continued economic growth in the country which is 6 percent to 7 percent GDP (gross domestic product) growth per year, we feel very positive that we will be able to continue to introduce new projects in the market that will allow us or bring us closer to achieving our target of PHP40 billion (net income) by 2020.

        "raw_content": "NEDA calls for agri reform to lower food prices\nPhoto: NEDA Director General Ernesto Pernia\nMANILA -- A committed effort from agencies in the agriculture sector to boost output and introduce policy reform is needed to bring down prices of agricultural products, the National Economic and Development Authority said in a statement on Wednesday.\nThe Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) reported that overall price levels spiked by 6.4 percent year-on-year in August 2018, a pace significantly faster than July\u2019s 5.7 percent and the 2.6 percent in August 2017.\n\u201cThe government, particularly the Department of Agriculture, must act quickly and fervently with a sound judgment to ease the increasing prices of agricultural commodities which are the main drivers of inflation,\u201d Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Ernesto M. Pernia said.\nPrice adjustments on food and non-alcoholic beverages jumped to 8.5 percent from its 2.9 percent inflation from a year ago. The August food inflation is also higher than the 7.1 percent in July 2018.\nNon-food inflation rate was at 4.1 percent, slightly decelerating from the preceding month\u2019s 4.2 percent, but was almost twice the rate during the same month last year at 2.3 percent.\nThe marginal deceleration in the price indices of housing, water, electricity, gas, and other fuels; and communication, as well as the drop in the price index of education, partially offset the increase in headline inflation.\nDamage to agriculture brought about by southwest monsoon and Typhoon Karding in Ilocos, Cagayan, and Cordillera regions amounted to PHP33.5 million, taking a toll on the prices of agricultural commodities.\n\"The rehabilitation of the disaster-stricken agriculture areas must be highly prioritized,\u201d Pernia said.\nOn rice production, palay production growth slowed down to 1.68 percent from 12.06 percent during the first half of 2017.\nAlso, the total rice stocks inventory of the National Food Authority (NFA) further declined to 1.9 million metric tons (MT) as of August 10, 2018. This was around 15 percent lower than the levels in the previous month.\n\u201cThe NFA should fast-track the distribution of remaining inventories, alongside the completion of the government\u2019s 250 thousand MT rice imports from Thailand and Vietnam in the last week of August to build its rice inventory, a necessary step to temper inflation,\u201d Pernia said.\nHe also cited the weak performance of the fisheries sector with output of fisheries and other crops falling by 2.14 percent and 0.44 percent in the first half of 2018. This was mainly caused by reduced trips of fishermen, fish kill, and destruction of fish cages, aside from weather disturbances.\n\u201cA comprehensive and strategic trade policy in place is more important now than ever. Importation of agricultural products to boost supply at the domestic level must be coordinated and harmonized with the local stock inventory and production,\u201d Pernia said.\nHe reiterated the passage of the amendments to Republic Act 8178 or the Agricultural Tariffication Act, which is a crucial step in reforming the agriculture sector over the medium and long term.\nThis proposed bill, once signed into law and fully implemented, is expected to help bring down the prices of rice and provide farmers better access to farming technologies and high-yielding variety crops.\nIn the fisheries sector, Pernia said good quality fingerlings in the aquaculture should be utilized, especially for milkfish (bangus), following reports of high mortality rates of fingerlings. This should be coupled with tighter monitoring of the closed fishing season in the Visayas to allow fish species to spawn and replenish its population.\nHe added there is also a need to review, and possibly amend, the Fisheries Code and other policies governing the sector.

        "title": "Atkinson: Has Blackboard become Blackbeard?",
        "raw_content": "Has Blackboard become Blackbeard?\nHaving recently watched an entertaining DVD, Pirates of the Caribbean [1], the name Blackbeard comes easily to mind. And why piracy and Blackbeard? Because, by the time you read this column you may know something about an astonishing action by Blackboard Inc. The company announced in a press release dated 26 July 2006, that \"it has been issued a U.S. patent for technology used for internet-based education support systems and methods. The patent covers core technology relating to certain systems and methods involved in offering online education, including course management systems... patents corresponding with the U.S. patent have been issued in Australia, New Zealand and Singapore...\" [2]. The patent referred to is United States Patent 6988138, filed on \"June 30, 2000\" and apparently granted on 17 January 2006 [3]\nWhy has it taken over six months for this news to break? Who was asleep on the IT watch? Some hypotheses are discussed below, but in brief the news broke because Blackboard Inc., widely regarded as top dog amongst commercial providers of LMSs (learning management systems) [4], has sued Desire2Learn Inc., distant second in the commercial LMS ranks, for patent infringement, filing in the U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Texas, on 26 July 2006 [5]. I'm not familiar with the correct legal jargon for this, but upon reading the copy of Blackboard's filing provided by The Inquirer [5], it seemed to me that Bb has initiated a 'pre-emptive nuking' of D2L [6].\nThe Bb strike on D2L ignited commentary on blogs and forums [7], lists [8] and in some newspapers [9]. In this humble column, I'll try to illustrate the fervour of the reaction against Bb, the fuzziness of the dividing line between intellectual property and intellectual piracy, and the role that we and our academic societies may play in informing our institutions and the Australian Government office that is the most involved, IP Australia.\nFirstly, there is no doubt about the fervour of the the anti-Bb backlash. Consider a brief, illustrative sample of 'backlash' phrases from some forums and lists [7, 8]: \"Software Patents are Evil\"; \"...almost equivalent to Microsoft trying to patent the concept of a web browser\"; \"Blackboard can shove their WebCT\"; \"Vultures\"; \"If this is their business style, then I want absolutely nothing to do with them\"; \"Blackboard has turned its back on those who have built it up from scratch\"; \"...they'll drain D2L of financial reserves and establish a legal precedent that they can use in subsequent cases against other entities\". If I were a Bb executive, I would be engaging maximum hyperdrive on the corporate damage control system.\nRelated to the anti-Bb backlash, there is widespread scepticism [7, 8] about patent law and its administrators: \"Isn't it ridiculous what the patent offices allows companies to patent?\"; \"...probably it's one more of those 'cases' that are needed to finally crash the whole patent industry worldwide and send all those patenting bastards to hell!\"; \"The ever-brilliant US Patent and Trademark Office has apparently granted Blackboard a patent for... well... pretty much anything remotely related to learning management systems\".\nAlso related to the anti-Bb backlash, there are academic analyses of the flaws in a system that allows patents where patent law should not venture:\n...what Blackboard claims to have invented in 2000 is almost an exact clone of what I described in 1997 and published in 1999. ...my response to Blackboard is this: where do you get off taking /my/ invention, which I shared freely with the rest of the world, in order to advance learning, and claiming it as your own? Is this the model of learning to which you subscribe, to use the legal system to deny learning to people who cannot afford it? [10]\nAnd there's much academic-amateur-legal advice of the kind: \"...Desire2Learn could also use the defense that the patent is 'obvious' to a 'person having ordinary skill in the art'\"; or, very succinctly, \"...we need to flesh out a ton of prior art\" [7, 8]. The specific term \"prior art\" is new to me, but it seems to be equivalent to IP Australia's statement about one of the prerequisites for granting a patent: \"...the invention must not be obvious to someone with knowledge and experience in the technological field of the invention\" [11]. As you may expect, numerous veterans of the 90s, including myself, are combing the archives for recorded evidence of LMS developments or component developments that precede Bb's patent filing date in Australia. There is the problem, referred to earlier, of \"being asleep on the watch\", or to be more specific, \"being too focussed on pedagogical issues and neglecting the corporate issue\". To quote a somewhat risque statement of the corporate issue, \"Do we think open source Moodle is driving the cutting edge trends? Which suggests that the mega corp will need to catch up to rear end us\" [7]. Or, in the also risque warning from another Moodle Forum correspondent, \"My experience has been that the bad guys will come up and bite you in the bum if you aren't looking under every rock for them.\" [7]\nSecondly, I believe that we need to publicise concerns about the fuzziness of the dividing line between intellectual property and intellectual piracy. One theme in the anti-Bb backlash discussed above [7, 8, 9] is a deeply resentful feeling that Bb has, in effect, 'pirated' everyone else's academic work, and fluked an assignment of intellectual property rights, with the help of an examination procedure that many view as flawed. Now being duly licensed to sue, that is precisely what Bb is doing, in effect accusing others of patent 'piracy' (infringement). To assess for yourself whether Bb's patent really does represent an \"...inventive step\" [11], read their pitch filed in Australia, Standard Patent Application No. 2005203324 [12]. The actual date of writing isn't clear, probably 1999 or 2000, so in looking for \"prior art\", try pre-2000. For example, scan AJET 1996-1999 [13] and you will see a progressively increasing proportion of articles that are concerned with online learning, using the Internet, etc, for education, or as Bb terms it in the patent's title, \"Internet-based education support system and methods\". Check Hart (1996), Freeman (1997) and Brown (1997) for starters [13]. Around the world there is quite a large number of educators who worked very hard and effectively to implement fundamental change based upon the technologies, and who wrote papers for AJET and many other publications, prior to Bb's patent applications. Quite justifiably, many will resent and dispute Bb's claims in the press release [2] and in the patent [12], such as:\n\"For nearly a decade, Blackboard has been a thought leader in the e-Learning industry and has developed products that have helped to fundamentally alter how educational institutions and their educators teach and communicate with students,\" said Michael Chasen, CEO of Blackboard. [2]\nThe present invention also provides for access to a plethora of academic resources that supplement the student's online education experience. The user may browse discipline-specific information, resources and communities linked to each course website [12, p.31 of 120]\nIn my own reading of Application No. 2005203324 I looked for evidence of \"thought leadership\", but in my humble opinion the document contains more \"thought copying\" than \"thought leading\". For example, the second quotation above seems to me to just restate something that our librarians at Murdoch University were busy doing even before the arrival of the first web servers and web readers (just change \"present invention\" to \"Library website\").\nTo take just one example of claims in the \"We claim\" section of Bb's application:\nA system for providing to a community of users access to a plurality of online courses comprising:\na plurality of user computers, each user computer associated with a user of the system having predefined characteristics... [five lines of detail omitted]\nA server computer in communication with each of the user computers over a network, the server computer comprising... [about ten lines of detail omitted]\nHeck, that's what we were doing in Murdoch University's TLC in 1995, where the 'system' was a Unix computer known as 'cleo', running among other programs the NCSA web server that predated Apache, and shareware discussion forums Discus and NetForum. The 'network' was the campus LAN, 10 Mb/s Ethernet. All very communal, public, published knowledge [for example, 14], nothing patentable about cleo (though it was a sad day when cleo was retired). However, my humble opinion about what's patentable and what's not, and the intellectual property-intellectual piracy dividing line, is unlikely to have any influence upon events in the scene where these matters are determined for Australia, at IP Australia [11]. For a good short cut into researching Bb's patents in Australia, see Blackfate [15].\nThis links into my third topic, what roles can we and our academic societies such as ASCILITE, HERDSA and ODLAA undertake in informing our institutions and IP Australia about this issue? It's a big issue, and a task for teams, notwithstanding Blackfate's individual effort [15]. Academic societies should be in a leading role, representing their older members who did the \"prior art\", and their younger members whose future work should not be stifled by the threat of Bb's big legal artillery. As publishers, the societies possess the research papers that, in my humble opinion, substantiate \"prior art\". If acting together, societies could afford the specialised legal advice that is an almost mandatory feature of the patent world. Also, societies can decline to invite Bb to sponsor and attend conferences. On institutional fronts, the task may be harder, but at the very least every one of us can insist that the ethical record of a software supplier should be evaluated, just as carefully as we evaluate fitness for purpose, user friendliness, cost and numerous technical details. We should propose that every institution needs a \"Plan B\", so to speak, for changing LMS provider, should things become really nasty as Bb's strategy unfolds and if attacks upon its patents are unsuccessful.\nPirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. http://disney.go.com/disneyvideos/liveaction/pirates/main_site/main.html\nBlackboard Inc (2006).

        "raw_content": "It is well known that Chiropractic care and back pain go hand in hand. It is the most common condition we treat however it is important to accurately pinpoint the source of the pain in order to formulate a treatment plan to achieve full resolution.\nThe back is made up of various structures including the muscles, ligaments, tendons, discs and bones. All of which make the back extremely complex. Problems that may arise with any of these components can lead to back pain.\nBack pain is most commonly seen in the following conditions\nAll of these conditions can cause varying types and levels of pain. They can also be of an acute nature, short term, or chronic, long term.\nWhile acute injuries to the back like car accidents, slips and falls do happen they are not the most common causes of back pain. Back pain is more often due to chronic and long term development of problems due to age, weight gain, and/or inactivity. Your job, or daily repetitive activities like sports, lifting, pushing, pulling, bending, twisting, or poor posture can also put you more at risk for back pain.\nThe difficult thing about back pain is that although the source of pain may differ, many conditions share the same symptoms, including\nAching, stiffness along either side of the spine or into the glutes\nSharp localized around the spine that usually worsens with movement\nDull, aching pain that comes, most often, with prolonged standing or sitting\nRadiating pain, that travels from the low back or glute and down into the leg/s\nInability to stand straight up or walk straight up\nChiropractic Care can be extremely helpful in the management of back pain. Our team of physicians are trained to help accurately diagnose the source of the pain and develop a treatment plan to resolve it. Many of which include some combination of manipulation (to restore movement to the affected joint), soft tissue therapy, and a customized at home core strengthening program. Our goal is to not only provide short term relief but long term benefit as well. That only occurs when the patient takes an active role in treatment. This is done in the form of an at-home prescribed core rehab plan.\nIf your provider suspects more severe injury other tests may be ordered (x-rays, MRIs, EMGs, or CT/Bone Scan) or a referral to another medical provider may be necessary.\nSchedule an appointment with one of our Chiropractic Physicians located in Sharonville, Ohio, Wilmington, Ohio, or Anderson, Ohio.",

It is important to learn about your rights and what steps can be taken to address any changes that may have an effect on you.\nFollowing a divorce or suit involving children, raising children in separate homes is often a conflict for the parents. Custody must be addressed whether it be amicably decided or a decision of the Court. Most times the parents are named Joint Managing Conservators and usually share the rights and duties associated with raising children.\nAs with conservatorship, visitation is often a conflict for parents as well. Sometimes the parties involved can reach an agreement regarding visitation, but, the assistance of the Court is sometimes needed as well. Generally, the Court wants a joint child-rearing plan with the residence of the child being practical and where the children can flourish. The focus remains the same though, what is in the best interest of the children.\nNot only are there decisions to be made regarding conservatorship and visitation, but each parent has a financial obligation to support their children. A child support order may be entered during the pendency of or after the suit is finalized. Either parent may be ordered to pay support for the children \u2013 it depends on the custody arrangement.\nWith so many decisions to make regarding your children, our experienced family law attorney will be there to advise you of the applicable law and assist with those decisions.

        "raw_content": "NASA\u2019s Astronaut Day of Remembrance\nToo many men and woman have died in the effort to explore space\u2014and too many of them are unknown. NASA has set aside a day to honor them all. What follows is a remembrance the Russians and Americans who lost their lives during missions, and the NASA astronauts who lost theirs during training.\nSoyuz 11: Georgi Dobrovolski, Victor Patsayev, Vladislav Volkov\n6/30/71. Decompression on reentry\nRussian cosmonauts Georgi Dobrovolski (1928 - 1971), Vladislav Volkov (1935 - 1971) and Viktor Patsayev (1933 - 1971) of the Soyuz 11 space mission, June 1971. All three men died during their return to Earth, following a successful docking with the Salyut 1 space station.\nThe most unsettling parts of any space flight are those that occur when the crew is out of contact with the ground. In the earlier days of the space program, orbiting astronauts would move in and out of blackouts as they orbited the Earth, flying in range of tracking stations and then out again. Global communications satellites and listening posts changed that, but blackouts still occurred when lunar astronauts were on the far side of the moon and, on every mission up to the present, during reentry, when a storm of ionized gasses around the superheated spacecraft block radio signals. Crews that enter ionization blackout alive and well have always emerged from it the same way\u2014except once. The Soyuz 11 cosmonauts had docked with the Salyut 1 space station, but had trouble latching firmly to it and were never able to enter. Still, they spent more than three weeks in space and made what seemed a nominal reentry. What no one could know was that explosive bolts designed to separate the reentry module from the rest of the ship misfired, causing a severe jolt that in turn caused a pressure valve beneath one of the seats to open. The cabin rapidly lost all its atmosphere before descending into thicker air and slowly repressurizing. But it was too late for the crew. Only silence came from the ship when it emerged from blackout and when the recovery team reached the spacecraft and opened it up, they found all three cosmonauts dead.\nDayofRembrance\nSoyuz 1: Vladimir Komarov\nApollo 1: Gus Grissom, Ed White, Roger Chaffee\nCharlie Bassett and Elliott See",

        "raw_content": "The Indie Music Scene Expands with Crowds from Music Contest Shows\nThe Indie music scene is taking off in a huge way, and more people may have guessed some of the artists that would take to this type of music scene.\nWhat music lovers will often find is that the contestants that have been on music shows like \u201cThe Voice\u201d and \u201cAmerican Idol\u201d will typically fall back and slide into the Indie music scene. This is where some of the people that lose on this show will go to get a crowd that is looking for their music.\nThere are a lot of artists down through the years that have lost on the shows and they have still become successful. The Indie music scene definitely provides a platform for people that are doing something that is a break from the mainstream. For shows like \u201cThe Voice\u201d and \u201cAmerican Idol\u201d it is obvious that the people that they are looking for or more pop oriented artists that have the ability to cross over.\nThe great thing about going on a show like The Voice and losing is that you still get recognized by people that love music. This allows you to at least get your name out there. From this point you have the ability to upload things to the Internet or provide people with access to shows that you are doing through social media. All of this plays a big part in connecting with people that you may not have had access to without the show.\nThe internet is definitely making it easier for more people to continue with their music careers even if they have lost on these bigger shows. \u201cThe Voice\u201d is one show that tends to be more about the celebrities than the contestants. That is why they have a harder time when it comes to mainstream entertainment.\nPrevious:Previous post:Arcade Fire\u2019s Rendition of \u2018Linger\u2019 Pays Tribute to the Cranberries\u2019 Singer\nNext:Next post:How Arcade Fire Maintains Indie Culture in the Midst of Fame",

        "raw_content": "Our Products >> REMOVING YOUR DETECTABLE ASSETS\nREMOVING YOUR DETECTABLE ASSETS\nIn 1943, with the Second World War fully under way, the Germans had the upper hand on the high seas. Their fleets of U-boats were wreaking havoc upon Allied military and merchant vessels in the Atlantic....but the United States had a secret weapon under development \u2014 a device that could cloak vessels from being picked up on radar. And a small vessel called the USS Eldridge docked at the Philadelphia Naval Yard was poised for the first trial of the device. That summer, the Eldridge was equipped with generators and coils capable of enveloping the destroyer in a powerful electromagnetic field. This field would be so strong, its inventors believed, that it could bend the light and sound waves around the ship, making it virtually invisible. At 9 A.M. on July 22, 1943, the equipment was put to the test. When the generators were turned on, a green fog briefly surrounded the ship, before vanishing\u2014and making the ship vanish with it. The trial lasted for fifteen minutes, and when the generators were turned off, the Eldridge reappeared. The crew was disoriented, in a state of physical shock, and violently nauseated. The test was considered a qualified success\u2014but the effect on the crew was too severe for the device to be deployed. A second trial was set for late October. Once again, the ship disappeared, this time leaving an impression upon the water. Suddenly, with a blinding flash of light, all evidence of the ship disappeared. Here\u2019s where the story gets really weird: Meanwhile, hundreds of miles south in Norfolk, Virginia, a crewman serving aboard the Liberty ship USS Andrew Furuseth saw a destroyer materialize in the waters nearby. Carlos Allende later described the ship sailing for several minutes shrouded in a conical green mist before disappearing again. Back in Philadelphia, the U.S.S. Eldridge had reappeared. The scene on board was stomach-churning. What was left of the crew was violently ill and some of them were permanently deranged. Some had gone missing, and five of them had been fused to the walls of the ship. Clearly, the Experiment was much too powerful and dangerous to control. The Navy could not handle the forces it had unleashed, and so the project was abandoned and the government quickly covered up as much of the evidence as it could. The war went on to be won with blood, sweat, toil, and tears\u2014not quantum leaps in scientific experimentation. And that would have been the end of the story of the Philadelphia Experiment, but over the years, tales of those mysterious happenings on board keep floating to the surface. The Story Behind The Philadelphia Experiment When considering a tale this fantastic, you have to consider the sources. And to be frank, the drama behind the story is almost as intriguing as the tale of teleportation. In 1955, a copy of The Case for the UFO by Morris Jessup came in the mail to the Chief of the Office of Naval Research in Washington D.C. Its sender was anonymous, but the postmark placed the origin as Seminole, Texas. The book had been heavily annotated in three different handwriting styles, rambling on about vortices, statis fields, and magnetic nets\u2014and mentioning a now-familiar 1943 experiment at the Philadelphia Naval Yards. Three special projects officers contacted the book\u2019s author as a matter of routine. Jessup recognized the annotations, because he had received letters from Pennsylvania that looked and read just like them. Jessup\u2019s correspondent went by the name Carlos Allende\u2014a name he later changed to Carl Allen. His letters were semi-coherent at best and filled with eccentric punctuation and capitalization, but the special projects officers had Jessup\u2019s publisher reproduce a short run of the annotated version of Jessup\u2019s book, along with some of Allende\u2019s letters. How odd was Allende\u2019s writing? You be the judge: Your invocation to the public that they move en Masse upon their Representatives and have thusly enough Pressure placed at the right and sufficient Number of Places where from a Law demanding Research into Dr. Albert Einsteins Unified Field Theory May be enacted (1925-27) is not at all necessary. It May Interest you to know that The Good Doctor Was Not so Much influenced in his retraction of that Work, by Mathematics, as he most assuredly was by Humantics. Jessup initially shrugged this off as harmless eccentricity, but later personal problems drove him into a deep depression. He began to obsess over Allende\u2019s letters, sending them to the naval researchers he had met. He fell further into depression, and four years after the whole affair began, he committed suicide in Florida. At this point, Allende came forward and claimed that his letters were a prank intended to scare Jessup\u2014in retaliation for the scary stories Jessup had written in his book. He signed a confession to that effect, allegedly sought psychiatric help, and once again vanished from the scene. He was always an elusive character, and little has been heard of him since. In the late 1960s, he began writing to another UFO writer, Jacques Vallee. In the early 1980s, a science writer Linda Strand interviewed him in person. According to the Social Security record, a Carlos Allende\u2014most likely the Carlos Allende\u2014died in 1994. ** Through further research it has been proven that this was not a prank at all, but rather an immense imparted follicle of advanced knowledge that leaked out. Jessup did not commit suicide, but was rather killed because he was aware of the top secret knowledge of the powers to stay off the radar! The powers united from this front have been conjured into this piece and will utilize the vortices, statis fields, and magnetic nets to allow you to teleport and not be able to be monitored by any occultist -- you will be clear of any danger, as you will not be able to be picked up on the facets of the waves of detection on the astral plane! This is ideal for anyone who uses time travel, teleportation, astral traveling, or exhilarates body levitation -- as your concentration and success will excel because no one will be able to interrupt your progress!",

        "raw_content": "The river habitat required by the Brazilian Merganser has suffered from staggering deforestation and permanent flooding from dams. The dwindling population of these fish-eating ducks is perhaps most numerous in Brazil's Serra de Canastra National Park, 500 miles northwest of San Paulo. Adding to the birds' plight, a series of forest fires devastated the national park and another area where the merganser was thought to have a stronghold.\nMike Lubbock was invited to a workshop in Belahorizonte, Brazil, in 2000 to help address the dire situation of the Brazilian Merganser. The workshop was organized by Wolf Bartman, of the Dortmund Zoo in Germany. A recovery plan was produced by experts from all three Brazilian Merganser range nations (Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay), plus Europe and the United States. They collated background information on the status and distribution, life history, and threats faced by the Brazilian Merganser and drew up a basic proposal for conservation action. Mike has returned to Brazil several times since 2000 as an adviser to conservationists and aviculture facilities working to save this species.\nSylvan Heights Bird Park and the International Wild Waterfowl Association have been involved in efforts to prevent the extinction of the critically endangered Brazilian Merganser by providing funding, training, and advising to the Brazilian organizations working with this species.\nOne such project is taking place at Zooparque Itatiba in Brazil. Conservation teams have been continuing their efforts to locate and track breeding Brazilian Mergansers through some of the most remote river habitat. When a healthy nest is discovered, the teams remove a few of the eggs and transport them back to Zooparque Itatiba, leaving the rest to hatch with the parents in the wild. In 2015, the teams were able to collect a total of eight eggs from two different nest sites, and successfully raised all eight ducklings back at the zoo. Should the habitat for wild Brazilian Mergansers continue to degrade, the birds housed at Zooparque Itatiba will ensure that this species does not disappear altogether. Ideally, their offspring may also help bolster wild populations in the future.\nIn addition to collecting and raising these birds, Zooparque Itatiba staff have been building a large new aviary and pool to house the adolescent birds. At the October 2015 IWWA conference, a grant from the IWWA was allocated towards the completion of this project.\nPhotos by Robert Kooy at Zooparque Itatiba",

Eunos Primary School and Telok Kurau Secondary School are both located close to the development.\nA huge bonus for future residents is the fact that the development is located right opposite Eunos MRT Interchange Station on the East West Line (less than 100 metres away). From there it is 5 stops to Changi. Going the other direction, 1 stop brings you to Paya Lebar which connects to the Circle Line; 5 stops takes you to Bugis, which connects to the Downtown Line and from there it is only another 1 and 2 stops further along on the East West line to City Hall and Raffles Place respectively.\nSingapore New Condo",

It will now take the lead responsibility for setting strategies, working up the masterplan and deciding the optimal phasing plan for delivery.\nThe announcement comes following the council's cabinet meeting on Wednesday night (25 July).\nThe first three sites are already identified: two housing sites for around 1,000 homes which will come forward immediately through the Greater London Authority\u2019s (GLA) London Development Panel and one employment site for about 900 new jobs.\nWork will be agreed to progress the bid for \u00a3120 million of government funding through the Housing Infrastructure Fund. Enfield has already been shortlisted for this money as part of the GLA\u2019s bid which, if secured in full, will connect all parts of Meridian Water to the new train station and improve the frequency of train services.\nLast November, work began on the new Meridian Water railway station, being built by Network Rail. Set to open in 2019, the station will replace the nearby Angel Road station and will serve up to four million people a year.\nEarlier this month (July), the local authority had confirmed that Hong Kong-based Pacific Century Premium Developments had pulled out of the scheme eight months after the council parted ways with Barratt London and SEGRO in October 2017.\nCouncil leader Nesil Caliskan suggested that taking on the scheme could be a model for other authorities to follow to secure maximum benefits for local people.\nShe said: \u201cMeridian Water is back on track and the way we are delivering is genuinely new for a local authority.\n\u201cGoing forward we will be in control and we will be the custodians of the place Meridian Water will become; investing council money and resources to ensure that local people are the principle beneficiaries of the new homes and jobs that will be created.\n\u201cWe will select development and other partners to work with the council to bring forward specific parts of the regeneration, whether that is for housing delivery, new employment spaces or meanwhile uses, and we will hold the vision for Meridian Water and oversee its delivery.\n\u201cI am pleased to say that we are also ready to accelerate delivery and will bring forward the first housing site, which will see hundreds of private and affordable homes built around the new train station. A second housing site and a site for a major employment hub will then follow.\u201d\nMeridian Water is of the UK\u2019s largest regeneration schemes, with over 10,000 new homes planned, as well as the creation of thousands of new jobs at the 85-ha site.\nRead the latest issue of Opportunity Enfield here",

        "raw_content": "I'm caught up again! The crazy AI episode was really funny, and quite creative. Really harkened back to the old days. As for the Familiar episode, yes, well done, but also I think a bit too Supernatural!\nTHE X-FILES was the first show I ever saw where small children were acceptable victims of the week. It really disturbed me and I don't really know what to say about it. SMALLVILLE also really troubled me with the way it casually massacred teenagers (even if they were played by actors in their late 20s).\nMy main problem with the X-FILES formula for monsters of the week: Mulder and Scully never accomplish anything. Had they not appeared, the story would have unfolded in much the same way. THE X-FILES does it deliberately to represent how our world is at the mercy of inhuman, unknowable and otherworldly forces whether they're technologically advanced aliens or supernatural beings. It's not something I enjoy.\nI don't really feel comfortable saying whether \"Familiar\" was good or bad except to say I don't really like THE X-FILES, I never have, I study it rather than enjoy it and it always makes me appreciate FRINGE.\nWith FRINGE, the victims of the week are played for tragedy and grief, but their deaths also lead Fringe Division to preventing further bloodshed and loss of life with every case-of-the-week building to the Season 5 finale in which Fringe Division saved the entire human race.\nIn every FRINGE episode, there is a scientific explanation. Sometimes, that science is absurd emotionalism masquerading as empirical analysis, but the show is commited to something resembling rationalism whereas THE X-FILES is an abstract horror show one week and a technology driven thriller the next and the lead characters are helpless. That's not what I personally want to see.\nI will never say that THE X-FILES is a bad show, but it's not *my* show. No thank you. I'll watch it. I'll study it. I'll never buy DVD sets to revisit its narrative. I'll never like it and I'll never write a six part series of screenplays for it.\nBut people should be free to create work that I don't like.\nOne of the reasons that I dislike Stephen King as a writer is his tendency to do horrible things to children. I find his habit to be gross, and cheap (I feel the same way about some of his other habits... I just don't like him).\nThat said, I'm not opposed to using kids in stories like this, as long as it doesn't feel cheap.\nBut yeah, I know what you mean about appreciating something as a story, or art, without necessarily enjoying it or liking it. The Passion of the Christ is like that for me. Beautiful movie all around. Deserved all the awards that it didn't get. However, it is incredibly difficult to watch (as well it should be).\nI guess this week's episode of The X-Files marks the end of the season, since next week is a Chris Carter mythology episode, so I feel safe in assuming that it will suck.\nAnd this week was... Weak. \"Nothing Lasts Forever\" was a directionless mess of an episode. The writer obviously didn't know if it was the story of a cult, an actress feeding off of humans in order to remain young, a Frankenstein-ish mad scientist, a Buffy-like action hero, or Scully-religious-something-blahblahblah. And failing to tell one story resulted in a failure to tell all of these stories. And then we end with the old \"mysterious whispered secret\" trope, which rarely works. We might as well have had a slow motion shot of a coin being tossed into a fountain.\nIt frustrates me how easily this show could be great, if only someone would run it.\nI've enjoyed this season. Not having much in the way of season arcs has been felt but I think there's been a lot of creativity.\nI know Gillian is done but I think they should have her as a non-field agent in the future. Skinner type. Assuming the ratings are good enough for FOX to want to spend the required budget of this series.\nThey probably should have anticipated Anderson an Duchovny wanting less to do with to do with the series going forward, if the network wanted to keep it around at all. They had those other agents last season, but they were pretty much joke characters, too similar to Mulder and Scully. They should have established new agents that Mulder and Scully could work with and train. Perhaps even someone who had been part of an X-File as a child, back in the 90's. Even better if we know the character from an old episode.\nThis is also something that Supernatural should be doing, but they insist on killing off every human character who could possibly become a major recurring character.\nCasting is super duper hard for younger agents. But if you can do it, you have a shot.\nThere is something like 300-400 scripted series on tv nowadays, far less than when David and Gillian were cast, so getting top talent is a bigger challenge. Though it looks like the X-Files budget is pretty high. I'm really impressed with the amount of locations, etc, they have had in recent episodes.\nMy Struggle, Part 153...\nI haven't seen the finale, but I watched the penultimate episode (catching up from missing everything the week of my Honeymoon). Alan Sepinwall says that it would've made a great finale, and I agree. It definitely feels like the end of the Mulder and Scully adventures. I don't know if it plays into the final My Struggle, but I could've easily seen that be the end.\nOne question I have - Duchovny seems really wooden this year. I can't tell if he doesn't care or if he's just gotten bad at acting, but it just seems like he's reading his lines. There doesn't seem to be much emotion behind them. A lot of people claimed he was checked out last season, but this one seems just as bad (or worse). Has anyone else thought that? I think Gillian has been great, but Duchovny seems really out of it. I know he's a good actor because I've seen it before.\nI think the acting comes and goes, for both of them, depending on the material. There have been moments when I really felt Mulder back on the screen, but I agree that he's really wooden at times. And it sometimes comes across as an age thing to me. He seems tired and old, and at times it seems like his face isn't even capable of moving in the ways that it once did.\nBut I have issues with Anderson's performance too, at times.\n(agree on david, gillian imo has been better, but that's over now).\n\"Nothing Lasts Forever\" and \"My Struggle IV,\" despite being written by two different writers, seemed to have the same writing style: both Karen Nielsen and Chris Carter write scenes and moments instead of stories. In \"Nothing Lasts Forever,\" Nielsen has written some truly creepy and compelling gore-horror scenes and some genuinely heartfelt character interaction scenes for Mulder and Scully matched with some superb superhero action with Juliet spiking murderous organ harvesters. There's a linking theme of youth and age and how some seek to defy it with supernatural-paranormal science, some expend it on vigilante exploits that lead to prison and some go with the flow.\nBut the end result: Mulder and Scully wander through the story and don't make any difference except for the worse -- which is to say that had they not gotten involved, the story would end with Juliet having killed the organ harvesters and set off to rid the world of more evildoers. Instead, because Mulder and Scully are involved, Juliet will now go to jail and the world of THE X-FILES is now deprived of a badass lady who stakes evil, bloodthirsty lunatics through the heart. Mulder and Scully have therefore made the world worse and the episode is simply a collection of nice moments.\n\"My Struggle IV\" is much the same except Chris Carter isn't really a character oriented writer. His cool moments are action: car chases, William making people explode, Mulder and Scully running through the dark halls of an abandoned factory, a shootout, a car possibly running Skinner over. He's all about the action sequences and thriller escapades and as a result, there isn't much space for Mulder and William to reunite, for Scully to process William's parentage, for Mulder to grapple with the revelation.\nThere are truly nice scenes throughout: Mulder hugging William, Scully's revelation, Skinner explaining he helped the Smoking Man to gather more information, but they're so crowded out by empty action that they have no room to breathe. The shootouts and car chases and multiple sequences of Mulder getting close to William only for him to slip away add little to the story beyond delaying reunions and confrontations that come too quickly to have impact.\nAs a final episode (and it probably should be), it's effective enough in concluding the mess that is the myth-arc and ending with Mulder and Scully together and the X-Files Division shut down again (although it's unclear why it was reopened in the first place). Skinner's fate being left unknown is the only plot point that truly calls for resolution and it's irksome that Carter left that dangling for no real reason beyond the wish for a Season 12 despite Season 11 being Anderson's last (or so she says).\nI think THE X-FILES under Chris Carter has come to a belated, awkward, strangely rushed yet overlong finale that wasted a lot of time but found some nice notes on which to conclude despite Skinner's frustratingly unknown status.\nI wonder if Anderson is really out, or if she is looking to get a huge pay raise after her last contract got so much press.\nI don't have much to add to the finale conversation. I was just... All wrong. And Reyes. Wtf?\nWow. That's interesting.\nI'm not sure what all the hubbub is about? They sort of killed a bunch of characters off, revealed a whole lot of anti-climatic stuff, and whatnot. Basically exactly what the show did 15 years ago.\nI am surprised they didn't go forward with other actors like Ambrose and Amell from last year. I hope they return, maybe this time it's just 6-8 shows, and they can wrap the thing up once and for all.\nGenerally speaking, it seemed like a large portion of fans liked it, but those that didn't -- including likely Gillian -- were disappointed in how Scully moves on from William so easily. Gillian is a mother, I don't think she bought it. And many fans were super attached to that boy.\nIt didn't bother me, but I definitely am not the hardcore female audience of this show. It's a valid perspective, one that I don't think Chris Carter understands. It's not clear who the show should be trying to appeal to. I just love it either way.\nIt was an incredibly dishonest moment, in an incredibly dishonest scene, in an incredibly dishonest episode. At no point we're the characters driving the vehicle. They were simply there to speak Carter's words.\nI'm not a father. I'm certainly not a mother. However, I am a human being. I haven't gotten over my dogs that died nearly a year ago. I can't even imagine how I would react if anything bad happened to one of the kids in my family, much less something as horrible as what happened to William (or so they thought). Scully's reaction made her look inhuman... Which she may be, given that she is a 54 year old barren woman, pregnant with her third child.\nHmm... I think I just figured out how I'd write the next season, if Anderson really didn't want to come back. It would explain this whole revival, and why each episode feels like it takes place in a different universe! And it could undo some bad decisions! And it's a really bad idea, but it would explain so much!\nScully is dead. Her cancer returned at some point, and she died a quiet death, without any action or drama, and without conspiracy. And this caused Mulder to break. He is an aging, reclusive, depressed shell of his former self, stuck in an endless cycle of what could have been. Him and Scully, together again, doing what they always did best.\nBut something happens. A young agent finds himself (or herself) in a situation that they can't navigate, because there is no training for it. Mulder is their best option, but he is a mess. To help matters, Skinner could bring in another agent whose life was changed by Mulder and Scully, back in the 90s.\nOr maybe Mulder is almost killed and the delusion happens when he is near death. Maybe the arc of the season can be about who tried to kill Mulder, and why. And Reyes can help, because she was never murdered.\nThese aren't really good ideas. Can anyone else do better?\nI don't think Carter *really* meant to say that adopted children or children of surrogacy don't deserve to be loved. He wanted to dramatize Scully accepting that William didn't want her as his mother, but he wrote the dialogue carelessly. Carter seems to write in a very hurried, improvised fashion without much revision, thinking in terms of moments rather than stories.\nThe finale felt like a first draft where an editor would then declare that the action should be scaled back and the dramatic scenes -- Mulder and William reuniting, Scully discovering William is CGB Spender's son, Skinner and Reyes turning against the Smoking Man, William asking Scully to let her go, Mulder confronting CGB Spender -- should then be expanded. Carter doesn't outline, doesn't plan, just writes moments upon moments, then goes ahead and films. He doesn't believe in planning ahead; he says he likes to let inspiration strike him. But sometimes, inspiration only offers him B-movie action tropes.\nI'm home sick today and maybe not thinking so clearly, but here's my proposal for \"My Struggle V\" -- which I actually imagined as \"My Struggle IV,\" but it works just as well after the fourth installment.\nIt *does*, however, need Duchovny and Anderson back. So, here's how we go: we open with a voiceover shared between Mulder and Scully speaking to an unknown party, describing what the X-Files Division does from its origins in the 60s to Mulder and Scully discovering it in the 90s. The voiceover is overlaid on a sequence of an unknown figure breaking into the FBI headquarters (and passing by Skinner who is alive but walking with a cane). The figure comes to the door of the X-Files basement office. Begin opening titles.\nAfter the titles, we see Mulder and Scully sitting on the floor of the office, opening file folders. Mulder, speaking to an unseen listener, shows a casefile and begins describing an X-File set during Season 3 and we get a 10 minute 'short' in which he's investigating a werewolf in Paris, Texas (although we see only the final confrontation in a zoo with Duchovny in deaging makeup and a hairpiece where Scully comes to his rescue).\nThen Scully shares an X-File set during Season 9 where she was investigating a series of mass hallucinations alone, was exposed to a fear toxin (with Anderson in deaging makeup), but the Lone Gunmen and Mulder talked her through it over a phone call. This sequence also includes introducing the Lone Gunmen (old footage only that shows their magazine office, voiceovers for the phone call). Scully speaks of how it was never really about the X-Files or an alien invasion plot but instead the friendships and partnerships and trust between her and Mulder and all their friends -- Byers, Langley, Frohike, Danny, Pendrell, Doggett, Reyes, Skinner.\nWe end this flashback with Mulder and Scully revealing that they are packing up the X-Files after Kersh has closed it; Kersh required that they file everything away to get their severance. They have been addressing the intruder; the intruder is William. William said after he survived being shot in the head and drowning, he needed answers and sneaked into the X-Files office only to discover that there is no X-Files office. But maybe there could be. He holds up several winning lottery tickets.\nCut to: the former office of the Lone Gunmen magazine, abandoned and vacant. The door opens. Mulder, Scully and William enter. In a timelapse video, they move in furniture, workstations, TVs, whiteboards. A framed photo of the Gunmen is hung on the wall. In the next shot, we see William attaching a sign to the door of the office. The sign reads: X-FILES INVESTIGATIONS. Roll credits.\nPost credits scene: the X-FILES INVESTIGATIONS website's contact form. Sound of a keyboard. Text appearing in the contact form describing a ghost sighting. Screen splits to another contact form shot with a municipal government wanting to hire Mulder and Scully to investigate a monster attack. The screen continues to divide we are seeing hundreds of case submissions from people seeking Mulder and Scully's services.\nThis isn't really an X-FILES sort of story, though. This is FRINGE. This is SLIDERS. This is STAR TREK. X-FILES doesn't really seek to be uplifting and hopeful. Even the finale, showing Mulder and Scully in each other's arms, left us knowing that Skinner could be lying dead under a car nearby.\nGoing private could definitely work for Mulder and Scully, as well as others (Reyes should have been working with a private company that helps get people out of potentially dangerous cults). And part of me thinks that's the best way to go, given how much the FBI is pissing me off lately (not about Trump). However, part of me thinks that the show needs the FBI element. Maybe Mulder and Scully could be private consultants for the big new myth-arc, where they work with the FBI, but the rest of the time they work on their own?\nI think Season 6 was pretty definitive: even without being assigned to the FBI's X-Files division, Mulder and Scully still investigate weirdness the way other couples go bowling. Going private allows them to bring their trainee, William, on cases. I think it's fine for them to be outside consultants to the bureau, but I don't think the show needs a myth-arc. It's never really had one, just a scattered number of episodes that are (mismatched) sequels to each other. Even the four \"My Struggle\" episodes were detached. Colonization had nothing to do with Sveta's story which had nothing to do with the Spartan virus which had nothing to do with William's mental manipulation powers which had nothing to do with the CSM actually wanting William for his immortality. The show would've been better with character arcs over a myth-arc.\nProbably true. I just like the element of having a case (or cases) which aren't resolved in one week. Perhaps a killer that Mulder can't profile for some reason, and he doesn't know if the guy is human or supernatural. But the alien mythology type stuff, where they go out of their way to no resolve it, is probably better left out\nAt this point -- I think Disney would be wise to offer Chris Carter a mid-budget series finale TV special -- maybe three 90 minute films done for a budget that would usually be assigned to make six episodes. Mandate that it is to be a conclusion. Wrap up this show. Make it an event, clear the deck for the X-FILES brand name. If Carter refuses, then hire Joel Wyman and Jeff Pinkner (FRINGE) to write the finale instead. The important thing is that the X-FILES be presented not as an abandoned product but as one that was resolved and concluded.\nAfter that, I think it's time to reboot THE X-FILES. The concept of a paranormal procedural is fine, but a lot of thoughtless, unconsidered choices have marred the franchise over the years from missing the opportunity to wrap up the original myth-arc in a big budget finale to the anti-climax of I WANT TO BELIEVE and the clumsy retcon of the Revival.\nI think Disney should bring the original show to an end in 2020. Then, in 2022, we should have a reboot. Fox Mulder, played by Summer Glau (yes!), is a 30-year-old FBI recruit on academic probabtion and voluntold to work on the X-Files Division. She becomes fascinated and enthralled by the paranormal cases to the dismay of full-fledged agent and medical doctor Dana Scully, played by Rupert Grint (with an American accent) who was also banished to the X-Files for some undisclosed indiscretion. Dr. Scully has spent his days debunking all the crazy, absurd reports with which no serious FBI agent could ever hope to make a career.\nI think by gender swapping, you could avoid recasting and instead engage in a vivid reinterpretation and you could hire Duchovny and Anderson to play the parents of the rebooted Mulder and Scully.\nOne thing you have to give George Lucas credit for: when he brought back Star Wars he was doing so to introduce it to an entirely new generation. And it is highly commercially robust today as a result of that decision. Something like X-Files is clearly not being brought back with the idea of folding those younger than even 30 into the mix. And so it's audience keeps dwindling, especially as older fans move on from deep, serial drama.\nIf X-Files was rebooted, you could try to make it palatable for a younger generation. But then someone would complain. As they did when Lucas brought back Star Wars.\nStar Trek did that too. It took fans a while to realize that Picard wasn't there to replace Kirk, but once people caught on, they enjoyed it.\nNote: I haven't watched the finale. So I don't know what was wrapped up and what wasn't, but I assume based on what I've scanned that it's a mess.\nAll that being said....I don't like reboots. Whatever the property, I like the idea that the previous continuity exists in one way or another. I prefer a \"Next Generation\" format when it comes to follow-ups because you're building on a foundation, even if that foundation is weak or full of holes.\nI'm completely cool with ireactions' idea for a second series, but I'd make it a second series. Whatever the conspiracy between Mulder/Scully/CSM/etc ends up being, it's over. It's done. And assuming it being done doesn't end the world, I think it's done.\nSo Summer Glau's character shows up at the FBI, and she stumbles upon the record of Fox Mulder. She has her own ties to the supernatural, and she's interested in the fact that these files show that werewolves and vampires and aliens are potentially real. And whether Fox is dead and whether Scully is in England, it really doesn't have to matter. There can be a new, fresh conspiracy with no ties to the original....whether or not the original conspiracy made any sense.\nThat way, the universe continues to grow. Maybe we see the ripples from some of Mulder's work, even though Mulder may or may not appear. X-Files fans can get their new adventures with new characters and new villains....while also knowing that nothing that ever happened previously has been erased.\nI think Slider_Quinn21 raises a good point that a reboot could alienate old fans. And admittedly, when Chris Carter killed off Mr. Y, Erika Price and the Smoking Man, he freed the show from ever having to address the myth-arc again. There is no need to delve into Colonization or the Conspiracy of Men or the Spartan Virus any further. A reboot creates a clean slate, but we already have one.\nSo, here is my soft reboot proposal (without Gillian Anderson):\nFBI Agent Tamlin Rivers (obviously played by Summer Glau) is in disgrace after a botched meth lab raid blew up in her face and killed 12 agents. She has scarring that's only partially hidden by her hair. She is reassigned to the most dead-end division in the bureau, the X-Files. She is briefed by Skinner (who is in a wheelchair after his injury).\nSkinner says that the X-Files was shuttered by Kersh but then reopened under classified directive and he can't tell her too much about the past except that Rivers will be joining Agent Scully who has a wealth of knowledge and experience in paranormal investigations.\nRivers, a skeptic, heads down to the basement and is greeted by Agent William Scully (Miles Robbins). Glau protests that William is too young to be in the FBI; he's 18, the average recruit is 30. William dismisses all this with a smile and paperwork indicating he's a genuine FBI agent. He drags Rivers into their next case.\nAt one point in the premiere, William calls Mulder on the phone to ask for advice. We see Mulder in his house, holding a bag of breast milk by the fridge. William says he's not sure he can pull this off. Mulder assures William that he'll be great but reminds William that he's no longer immortal or telepathic and needs to not take crazy risks.\nThe conversation is interrupted by the sound of Scully screaming for Mulder off camera (using reused audio from Season 8's \"Without\" of Anderson screaming for Mulder in the desert) and a crying baby in the background (stock). Mulder apologizes and hangs up.\nAs Season 12 progresses, Rivers researches Scully and guesses that Scully is some sort of outside operative from deep in the Department of Defense somehow planted in the FBI with a false paper trail; this is thrown off by multiple colleagues at the FBI claiming to have known Scully for years.\nRivers has also heard of Agents Mulder and Scully, but when she tries to look up their records, their personnel files have been classified and their names and details have been redacted from the casefiles. As the season unfolds, Rivers finds William's peculiar ignorance of procedure and protocol to be frustrating and disturbing. He barely seems to consider the FBI a job. He sleeps on a sofa in the office.\nAt one point, Rivers discovers that William doesn't even get paid: payroll's never heard of him and he's been living off lottery ticket winnings (which are running out).\nHe's immature and juvenile, an obnoxious quality for Rivers who is a professional, precise and highly experienced agent. However, he is loyal and self-sacrificing and completely trustworthy despite being an unknown quantity, and William and Rivers develop a heated rapport of respectful teamwork.\nAfter several standalones, we get a William focused episode and a revelation: William, losing control of his powers, broke into the defunct X-Files office to try to find answers. Reading the casefiles made him feel connected to Mulder (whom he considers his father even though they're brothers) and Scully, whom he considers his mother. The basement felt like home.\nIn a final burst of telepathic and psychokinetic energy, William rewrote the memories of everyone in the building to think of him as Agent William Scully and assigned to the X-Files (and had them fake the records). This burnt out his abilities, leaving him only human but having found a place where he belonged.\nWilliam called Mulder and Scully who were relieved to hear he was alive and encouraged him to take the X-Files Division forward. After more standalones, the Season 12 finale could have Duchovny (and maybe Anderson) guest-star to officially hand over the show to Rivers and William.\nI can't see Chris Carter accepting this. Despite all the ridiculousness that Carter has written into his series and scripts -- Carter would balk at an 18-year-old boy being presented as an FBI agent.\nI'd probably do it without William. As I said before, I'd be fine having an agent who was connected to a past X-File as a child. Maybe Skinner would recruit that agent to work with a more by-the-books type of agent, who has a specialty in psychology (perhaps having worked with PTSD victims in the past, which could be interesting of his/her partner never really overcame their X-File experience).\nThe team could be fleshed out with more members, but that might get too crowded.\nWilliam has never worked for me, story-wise. Even baby William didn't work. So I'd just prefer to let him go with the old myth-arc.\nI just can't make you people happy, can I?\nThat's not true. I often enjoy reading your thoughts and ideas in regards to different movies and shows. However, I just don't really like William.\nWhy does William look just like John Connor from Sarah Connor Chronicles?\nI started watching the finale and had to stop with about 15 minutes remaining (including commercials).\nNOTHING HAD HAPPENED YET. Like, literally, nothing.\nMan... They should bring back The Sarah Connor Chronicles.\nWatching these Chris Carter episodes is like a lesson in how not to stretch out a story. Not enough story to tell, so they just drive, and yell at each other without letting anyone finish a sentence, and act as though this is way more intense than it actually is.\nOkay I finished it. Nothing still really happened. It was a really long chase scene, really. And I just don't really know what the point of any of it was. Was there a conspiracy or an alien pathogen or any of it?\nI like some of y'all's ideas for a continuation. I think I might like Info's \"Scully was dead the whole time\" idea the best.\nIf it were me, I think I like \"X-Files: the Next Generation\" the best. In the same way that I like a Sliders sequel to be Quinn, home on Earth Prime, sending out Sliders for various missions (an idea I toyed around with and outlined as an E214 sequel series).\nI think you either use Mulder or Skinner or some other character connected to the series. Heck, what if it's Kersch, who has some sort of weird supernatural episode and derails his own career to re-start the X-Files and investigate what happened to him. He (any of the he's or any she) recruits two agents. And in true Batman Beyond fashion, he recruits the same formula that worked in the past - a believer and a skeptic. Gender-swap them if you want. If it's Mulder, let him do most of his work on the phone or via television. He's with Scully wherever they are. If it's anyone else, have Mulder and Scully be retired. Mention them but leave them be. Maybe Mulder can show up in big Sweeps episodes to lend a hand.\nBut like TNG, let it be it's own thing. That's how I'd handle it.\nMaybe Mulder and Scully are an X-File. They're just gone, and we see their file on Skinner's desk, along with many more, as ye recruits new agents.\nPossibly. But since My Struggle IV is canon, I'm cool letting them have a happy ending. Maybe Skinner wants to investigate them because they've fallen so far off the grid, but it feels like \"saving Quinn\" in season 5 of Sliders. What's the point if you aren't sure if Gillian is ever going to come back?\nTo keep with the TNG analogy, when that show first started....I think the natural assumption was that the TOS crew lived happy lives. We see McCoy, and we know that he lived to a nice, old age. It wasn't until episodes like \"Relics\" and movies like \"Generations\" that we learned what really happened to them. I'd like X-Files to, at the very least, give the illusion that Mulder and Scully lived happily ever after.\nAnd maybe in season 3, we can learn the real truth. Because, of course, they can't live happily ever after\nWilliam had a nightmare and blew them up by mistake.\nThere is a sad irony in watching Season 11 and noticing that SUPERNATURAL started out as a cheap X-FILES clone, but over the course of five seasons, SUPERNATURAL has corrected most of THE X-FILE's flaws, improved on almost all of its strengths and Season 11 seemed like an inept and overbudgeted clone of SUPERNATURAL.\nTHE X-FILES is a terribly incoherent show because of the freedom accorded to each episode's writer and the lack of concern for linking each episode even when they're meant to be sequels to each other.\nThis freedom is often cited as a strength of THE X-FILES where the blockbuster BOURNE movie heroics of \"My Struggle IV\" exist alongside a surreal comedy like \"Forehead Sweat\" and the buddy cop drama of \"This\" and the sci-fi lunacy of \"Familiar.\" But SUPERNATURAL has shown that it can easily integrate a variety of tones and styles -- horror, action, comedy, metatextual commentary, theology, hopeful stories and bleak tales -- into a collective whole by making sure the lead characters have ongoing arcs and consistent voices even if the story around them this week has a different tone and genre from last week and next week.\nTHE X-FILES has also been applauded for isolating the myth-arc episodes from the monster of the week episodes, allowing standalone adventures that any audience member can tune into at any point with even myth-arc episodes being somewhat accessible. As Slider_Quinn21 notes, his inability to remember the details of the myth-arc actually helps him avoid confusion because he doesn't notice contradictions.\nBut SUPERNATURAL handles this so much better too. There are myth-arc episodes and there are monsters of the week, but SUPERNATURAL capably builds the myth-arc into the ongoing characterization and personal arcs, allowing standalone episodes to be thematically relevant to the myth-arc even if they aren't significant to the plot.\nSometimes, the monster of the week stories offer small pieces of information or equipment that may be useful in a myth-arc episode, but SUPERNATURAL is generally successful in making sure that each episode has a beginning and an end while serving as a chapter in a larger story. In addition, SUPERNATURAL is aware that it exists in an era of box sets and streaming whereas THE X-FILES seems terrified to let elements progress between episodes.\nBoth SUPERNATURAL and THE X-FILES are dealing with a complex mythology that can often be confusing. But THE X-FILES frequently denies its own history through blatant retconning and rewriting and refuses to acknowledge its own revisions. Mulder confronts the Smoking Man but the change from Colonization to the Spartan Virus isn't even mentioned; he later visits Deep Throat's grave and doesn't observe that Deep Throat seemed to be involved in a completely different conspiracy than what was unveiled in Season 10.\nIn contrast, SUPERNATURAL has wisely given its myth-arc separate chapters, closing one off before starting another. The apocalypse gave way to a civil war between angels which transitioned into the Leviathans and battling for control of Hell and moved into the Mark of Cain and shifted into the Darkness and then moved towards the Men of Letters and so forth.\nYou don't get SUPERNATURAL without THE X-FILES, but I think it's safe to say that SUPERNATURAL has surpassed its predecessor and is an improvement in nearly every area except budget and women and even that last one might change soon.\nI agree with all of that. I'd say that one of Supernatural's greatest weaknesses is that they kill off the human characters too often, whereas they should be building a large universe of recurring characters. But that's just my opinion.\nIn terms of women, they tend to go away because the Supernatural fangirls attack any woman who goes near the boys... Sometimes attacking the actresses in the real world. So the only option is to make the women more like sisters or mother's, which has allowed them to build up a nice little family of women. Now it's becoming a bit distracting that their only human friends and allies are all ass-kicking women.\nUltimately, Supernatural has to be a show about brothers. It's a guy show, with cars and guns. So while part of me wishes that they'd allowed Dean to make a family with Lisa and Ben, another part of me is glad that they didn't mess with the formula too much.\nI guess The X-Files had a similar way with recurring characters. No real outside friends or love interests who weren't part of the action. Just a small group that kept the formula working.\nFYI -- BBC America is airing a X-Files 3-day 72-episode marathon, which started earlier today.\nI enjoyed these podcasts: http://xfcast.libsyn.com/season-11-41-l \u2026 uggle-iv-0\nhttp://xfcast.libsyn.com/season-11-40-c \u2026 truggle-iv\nNot that the criticism hasn't been valid, but it's very supportive of the finale. I liked some of the discussion of the perception of casual fans vs. the online ones as well. I wonder how much FOX thinks of this, and Carter.\nFox announced that there are no plans to bring X-Files back for another season at this time. They might wait for Gillian to change her mind, but this could be it (for now...or, at least, for this iteration of it)\nGillian is not changing her mind.\nYeah, not likely. And I'm fine with it. Maybe someday, after Chris Carter retires and can never return, we can revisit the franchise.\nWait, is Disney going to own it? Because if so, we might get a millennial remake series on ABC in two years. Oh, and a reimagined Millennium, with Dylan Sprouse as Frank Black.\nMost people would agree Season 11 was better than Season 10. But not for business. It's interesting because from some of the analysis I have seen, what hardcore fans want and like from X-Files -- including comedy stuff -- is not what the casual audience wants and expects.\nIt's pretty sad that Chris Carter had a feature film and SIXTEEN EPISODES and a high flying FOX budget and the all original actors and Vancouver and he STILL couldn't wrap up his show.\nI think something is wrong with Chris Carter. He was never the best writer on the show, but some of the decisions that went into this final season (especially the finale) were beyond just bad writing. There is no person in their right mind who would have written the Scully pregnancy reveal and thought that it was a perfectly legitimate plot twist... for so many reasons that it's hard to list them all.\n...because it is a story.\nThere's a difference between a \"life goes on\" ending and a \"we have no idea what we're doing\" ending. With his logic, why didn't the series start when Mulder was conceived?",

        "title": "NCAA | News Story | Clemson to play this weekend with storm battering coastline | WNST",
        "raw_content": "(AP Photo/Sam Craft, File)\nCLEMSON, S.C. (AP) Clemson is moving forward with plans to host its scheduled football game on Saturday while Hurricane Florence wreaks havoc on the Carolinas' coastline with officials bracing for historic flooding and record-setting rainfall that has forced people to evacuate their homes to escape the wrath of the storm.\n\"Clemson Athletics and the University administration continue to monitor the forecast related to Hurricane Florence very carefully,\" the university statement said. \"The safety of fans and the student-athletes from both universities are our top priority.\"\nBut while Clemson officials believe the school and stadium - which are about 250 miles from the South Carolina coast - are not in harm's way, there has been backlash for what is being viewed by some as a narrow view of the situation.\nThere have been questions about how safe it can possibly be to have about 80,000 people - many traveling on South Carolina highways to and from the game in what could be rapidly changing conditions - together for football game and placing more demands on already strained state resources.\nNo. 13 Virginia Tech, North Carolina and North Carolina State all canceled home games. Virginia's home game with Ohio was moved to Nashville, Tennessee. Clemson's state rival less than 150 miles East, South Carolina, called off its game Saturday night due to the storm.\nGamecocks athletic director Ray Tanner said canceling his team's game was the only choice to make. Hotel rooms and resources football fans might have used in Columbia would be freed up for coastal evacuees. Of all the things people might need this weekend, Tanner told 107.5 FM, \"a football game wasn't at the top of the list.\"\nSouth Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster said at his Friday afternoon briefing the decision whether to hold the game was completely up to Clemson. When asked if he had talked with Clemson officials, McMaster said \"not about that.\"\nAt the briefing state officials said 441,000 people had evacuated the state's coast in advance of Florence.\nClemson's decision to play a game that is not expected to be competitive - the Tigers are 33+-point favorites - has raised questions about the school's priorities.\nFormer PGA Tour golfer and South Carolina Gamecock Kyle Thompson said on Twitter : \"I may get blasted for this, but I'm surprised Clemson is playing a football game tomorrow with Hurricane Florence bearing down on SC. Seems like a money grab.\n\"Georgia Southern quarterback Shai Werts is from Clinton, South Carolina - about 90 minutes southeast of Clemson - and said earlier this week that this game is more important to him than others. Despite the impact of Florence, Werts said many family members are expected to attend Saturday's game.\n\"I would like to say it would be just another game, but it's not,\" Werts said. \"Growing up there, just going to one of those places I wanted to go to.\"\nClemson officials did move up kickoff to noon EST from its planned 3:30 p.m. start. Athletic director Dan Radakovich said the earlier start time gives both the teams and the fans time to clear the area before Florence's effects hit the Clemson area Saturday night and Sunday.\nThe National Weather Service forecast calls for just a 20 percent chance of rain Saturday at Clemson and the chances for rainfall go up to 70 percent Saturday night and 90 percent Sunday. The weather service also has issued a flash flood warning for the area from Saturday morning through Monday.\nBut the backdrop of the contest and the potentially good weather at Clemson includes winds from Hurricane Florence ripping through communities that are part of the school's footprint, both for students and football recruits.\nClemson coach Dabo Swinney is trusting Clemson's administrators that playing early is the right path.\n\"There's a lot going on,\" Swinney said. \"This is a monster storm and who knows what could happen. You just have to rely on folks that this is what they do.\"\nThe Tigers are ranked No. 2 in the country and are seeking a fourth consecutive trip to the College Football Playoff. They are heavily favored against Georgia Southern and at the end of the year, a decisive win could be the difference between getting into the playoffs or staying home.\nClemson's timing to try and reschedule is troublesome, too. It's off-week is Oct. 13 and playing then would mean 10 consecutive games leading into its expected appearance in the Atlantic Coast Conference championship on Dec. 1.\nBut Radakovich has insisted safety is the school's top priority. The Clemson AD has asked fans planning to attend to leave earlier for arrival and have patience as Clemson will have operate with different traffic control personnel.",

        "raw_content": "Carroll sells Hunts Point house for $6.1 million\nAccording to public records, Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll has sold his Hunts Point (Bellevue) home for $6.1 million only a year after purchasing the property.\nCoach Pete Carroll, right, and GM John Schneider have led the Seahawks to two Super Bowls. / Drew McKenzie, Sportspress Northwest\nIt\u2019s difficult to tell what this means, but Seahawks coach Pete Carroll has sold his waterfront home in the prestigious Hunts Point area of Bellevue for $6.1 million, according to public records. The deed, which King County recorded Thursday, lists the buyers as Jimmy and Patty Barrier, until recently the owners of four Barrier Motors Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche and Volvo dealerships.\nAccording to the Puget Sound Business Journal and public records, Carroll and his wife Glena bought the house in May, 2014, for $5.9 million. Built in 1999, the three-bedroom, four-bath house sits on approximately one third of an acre.\nThe Journal provided no reason why Carroll elected to sell (maybe he didn\u2019t like the landscaping job \u2014 it was one yard short), or if Carroll purchased another property.\nOne year ago, Carroll signed a three-year contract to keep him with the NFC champions at least through the 2016 season. At the time of his signing (April 4, 2014), Carroll said:\n\u201cI think it\u2019s really exciting because it\u2019s a statement of our commitment, of our staying power, and our willingness to do something really special with this opportunity in representing this fantastic fan base, the area, and the following that we have. The 12s have been ridiculously fun and so powerful. We feel very humbled and fortunate to be part of this.\u201d\nHired in 2010, Carroll coached the Seahawks in two Super Bowls, a 43-8 victory over Denver in SB XLVIII following the 2013 season and a 28-24 loss to New England in SB XLIX in February. An errant pass from Russell Wilson at the New England one-yard line meant for Ricardo Lockette was picked off by Malcolm Butler, denying Seattle an opportunity to become the first repeat Super Bowl winner in a decade.\nAccording to most Las Vegas sports books, the Seahawks are favored to win the NFC West again in 2015. They are engaged in contract talks with Wilson, slated to become one of the highest-paid quarterbacks in the NFL as he enters his fourth season.\nFlorida-based AutoNation, the largest auto retail company in the country, bought the Barrier stores last year, reportedly paying $107 million.\nIn the Puget Seattle region, Jimmy and Patty Barrier are well-known in both business and civic circles. Last year, they told the Journal they had no plans to leave the area, and now they have a $6.1 million house to call home.\nCarroll\u2019s probably just jumping off the Mariner bandwagon \u2026\nWell, there goes the neighborhood.\nDidn\u2019t figure you for a Hunt\u2019s Point guy.\nhippydip\nNo surprise, lots of waterfront up for sale. It\u2019s what happens when owners get their tax assessment.\nMy guess is Pete could pluck out a couple of diamonds from the SB ring and cover his tax bill.\nflhusky\nHe\u2019s going to be headed back to LA for his dream job.\nHe can\u2019t wait for the transition from Paul Allen to Mark Davis.\nPete has no time for the beach home. I hear he and his wife can live out of his office and still have waterfront living.\nThey still need an extra bedroom when they adopt Russell Wilson as part of the extension.\nIt is hard to imagine what it means. For 200K more than he paid, after sale costs he barely broke even. Maybe someone offered him a piece of a franchise. Can\u2019t believe he wants to go back to smog land. Could be his wife just wanted a neighborhood with fewer sociopaths . . .",

        "raw_content": "Snelling recovering from crash, life-threatening complications\nAfter more than a month in Via Christi Hospital and rehabilitation in Wichita after a head-on car crash, 39-year-old Dean Snelling of Goessel went home May 18 with his parents, Dale and Tootsie Snelling of rural Chase County.\n\u201cI\u2019m doing good today,\u201d Dean said at his parents\u2019 home Thursday. \u201cMy pain level is at a good low.\u201d\nDean was driving to work about 6:30 a.m. April 15 between Goessel and Moundridge when Dustin W. Frank of Canton crossed the centerline of the road, causing a head-on collision. Dean was taken to Via Christi Hospital with a broken left hip socket, a broken ulna in his right wrist, and other injuries.\nIt wasn\u2019t long before doctors discovered that he also had a tear in his aorta, the largest artery in the body. If his aorta ruptured, he almost certainly would have died. Because of that risk, he underwent surgery to repair and protect his aorta on April 16.\nHe later had surgeries to put a bracelet around his hip socket and a plate and nine pins in his forearm. While recovering from the last surgery, Dean aspirated, breathing in his own stomach acid.\nThat led to his lungs collapsing, another potentially lethal complication. Fifteen trauma doctors and nurses spent about 90 minutes working to restore lung function. His condition worsened for the first 45 minutes, and every 15 minutes a doctor updated Dale and Tootsie on Dean\u2019s condition.\nAt the second or third update, the doctor told them that if his condition didn\u2019t begin to improve soon, he would probably die. But when the next update came, he had started to improve, and the improvement continued.\nBecause he hadn\u2019t been breathing for such a long time, there was the possibility that he had suffered brain damage. But during the procedure, when the head nurse shook Dean\u2019s shoulder and told him to open his eyes, he did.\nDale said the nurses in the intensive care unit called Dean their \u201cmiracle man.\u201d\nDean was on a respirator and was kept unconscious for about a week. During that time he had six intravenous fluid stands with 18 different medicines and fluids, Dale said.\nDespite the fact that Dean was unconscious, his parents went to the hospital every morning when the intensive care unit opened.\n\u201cWe\u2019d always be waiting at the door at 8:30 in the morning,\u201d Dale said.\nEvery morning, Tootsie would hold Dean\u2019s hand and tell him she was there. After doctors eased Dean out of his induced coma, Tootsie was thrilled when he responded by squeezing her hand three times.\n\u201cThe first thing I remember (after the surgeries) is being on that bed,\u201d Dean said.\nHis parents said they got to know a lot of people in the intensive care unit, including the staff and families of other patients.\n\u201cYou kind of get an ICU family going there at the hospital,\u201d Tootsie said.\nWhen Dean woke up, he still had a lot of tubes in him, and his bed was shaking to help phlegm drain from his lungs. He was confused at first, because he didn\u2019t immediately remember the crash, although he was conscious and alert on the way to the hospital after it happened.\nDoctors told him it will be eight to 12 weeks before he can put any weight on his left leg and six to eight weeks before he can use his right arm. He is improving fairly quickly, though. He has a walker, and can walk about 50 feet with it, a dramatic improvement from the 6 inches he could walk with it at first.\nDean is concerned about returning to work as a machinist at Bradbury in Moundridge. He doesn\u2019t know how well he will be able to cope with standing as much as 10 hours at a time.\nHe said family members and friends have been incredibly supportive in his recovery.\n\u201cI want to say thanks to all the people who sent prayers and donated money,\u201d Dean said.",

However, once Mashable inquired about the T-shirt, which can be seen here, Wal-Mart said it would pull it.\nThe following is Walmart\u2019s official statement regarding the shirt:\n\u201cThis obviously has no business being on our site. It wasn\u2019t sold by Walmart directly, but by a third party sellers on our marketplace. It\u2019s in clear violation of our policy. We apologize to anyone who was offended by the item and we\u2019re removing it immediately.\u201d\nThe incident has kept Bao Nguyen, one of Wal-Mart\u2019s media relations representatives for Global eCommerce and Technology, very busy.\n\u201cWow.

        "title": "Doppler Shift",
        "raw_content": "Johann Christian Doppler\nHave you noticed that when an emergency vehicle with its siren blaring passes you that the tone that you hear changes in pitch? This is an example of what is called the Doppler shift, and it is an effect that is associated with any wave phenomena (such as sound waves). It is the same effect that Hubble used to measure the velocities of distant galaxies. This is how it works:\nConsider first a case where the fire truck is at rest in the station driveway waiting for the firemen to board the firetruck. The siren is already on, and a listener some distance away to the right will perceive the siren at the same frequency as which it is emitted. Note that another stationary person on the left side of the truck would hear the same tone also.\nThe stationary listener on the right hears the same 400 Hz tone emitted by the fire truck.\nNow consider how this situation changes when the truck is moving towards the stationary observer with a constant velocity, v.\nThe frequency of the fire engine's siren as heard by a person on the firetruck has not changed! However, the waves in the direction of the truck bunch up as the fire truck is catching up to its own sound waves. This means that the pressure variations, which are represented by the sine waves, impinge upon the eardrum of the stationary observer at an increased frequency. The stationary observer to the right therefore perceives a higher tone. Notice also that the waves traveling towards the rear of the fire truck seem are spread out as the siren is moving away from its own sound as it travels with velocity v to the right. This would cause a stationary observer to the left of the truck to perceive a decrease in the frequency of the of the siren.\nFor a source moving to the right, a stationary observer to the right would perceive a higher tone and one to the left would perceive a lower tone.\nPlay me a song about the Doppler Shift! (text)\nThe non-relativistic Doppler shifted frequency of an object moving with speed v with respect to a stationary observer, is:\nand the Doppler shifted wavelength can be shown to be:\nIn these two equations, co is the speed of the wave in a stationary medium (in this case the speed of sound), and the velocity is the radial component of the velocity (the part in a straight line from the observer). Both these formulas are non-relativistic approximations that are true as long as the velocity of the moving object is much less than the speed of light. As a convention, the velocity is positive if the source is moving away from us and negative if the source is moving towards the observer. Thus:\nif the source is moving away (positive velocity) the observed frequency is lower and the observed wavelength is greater (redshifted).\nif the source is moving towards (negative velocity) the observed frequency is higher and the wavelength is shorter (blueshifted).\nClick here for a derivation of the Doppler shift equation.\nWithout much additional thought, as I know you have been thinking for a while now, you could easily convince yourself that the doppler shift will occur under any of the following circumstances:\nThe source is approaching a stationary observer.\nThe observer is approaching a stationary source.\nThe source and the observer are moving towards one another.\nThe source is moving away from a stationary observer.\nThe observer is moving away from a stationary source.\nThe source and the observer are both moving away from each other.\nThe source and the observer are moving in the same direction at different speeds.\nYou should also be able to easily convince yourself that the shift will yield an increase in the perceived frequency whenever the source and the observer are approaching one another, and a decrease in the perceived frequency whenever the source and the observer are moving away from each other.\nSo....here's the big question. How does this affect the spectra of distant objects in the Universe, you might ask? Does light doppler shift? You probably remember the spectrum of visible light as ROYGBIV. So if the doppler shift works also for light then it must be possible to move so quickly towards a red traffic light that it would appear green to you! You might find it clever to use this argument if you get stopped for running a red light. However, the police officer might in turn charge you not for running the red but rather speeding. You might find it fun on your own to calculate your fine for traveling the speed necessary to make the light appear green to you, if the fine is $1 per mile per hour over the limit and you are traveling in a 25 mph zone. (You can do this problem in the Doppler Quiz which is linked to this site.)\nWell, we guess you have discovered by now that light (or any part of the electromagnetic spectrum) can be shifted up in frequency or down depending upon your relative motion. In fact, if your recession velocity is great enough away from a visible light source, you could in theory warm yourself as you would be able to shift to the infrared or heat area of the electromagnetic spectrum.\nNow take a moment to consider the diagram that follows:\nYou will recognize it as the same as the fire truck approaching the stationary observer except now the source is emitting light instead of sound. Notice that the right region where a perceived increase in the frequency is noticed is referred to as \"blueshifted\", and the region which would appear to be of a lower frequency to an observer on the left is referred to as \"redshifted.\" And, it is important to note that the equations which were derived for sound will work equally well for moving light sources provided the light sources are not moving near the speed of light. (We would have to take relativistic effects into account at speeds approaching the speed of light.)\nClick here to take a quiz on the Doppler shift.\nClick here to look at examples of galaxies and their red shifted spectra.\nClick here to learn what Hubble's findings tell us about our Universe!\nClick here to go to get the data to solve this problem using Hubble's Law.",

You\u2019ve made the commitment, she is in love with you and it\u2019s not working for you. OK, this is the practical side of relationships that don\u2019t work. Are you willing to listen to me now? Are you willing to stop the needless suffering and time wasted? At least have some integrity and do it properly!\nAs much as it might hurt, honesty is the best policy, unless the total truth won\u2019t contribute to the future of a possible neutral or friendly relationship. What I\u2019m talking about is that if you\u2019ve been unfaithful, it\u2019s too late now and neither of you is going to gain much by using that as an excuse. You might want to admit it if it\u2019s to prove how your paths have separated so much that you just can\u2019t remain faithful, but unless it\u2019s going to contribute toward a healthy outcome, you might as well just admit that you made a mistake and that you just don\u2019t love her as much as you once proclaimed.\nIf you see the end coming, if you\u2019re living together and it feels more like friends than lovers, and you\u2019re not willing to do something to improve the situation, then just have the talk. Allow both of yourselves to move on with the least amount of further pain. I\u2019ve seen the most incredibly stupid, senseless and reckless ideas. The most \u201cout there\u201d one so far is a web site that actually breaks up with your girlfriend for you! Guys.. don\u2019t do this.. or just delete this url and never come back here again! This is Charminguy, not \u201cjerk of a coward guy\u201d!\nPeople grow apart and that\u2019s the complexity of relationships. The better you prepare, and the more effort you put into one, once you\u2019ve realized (or think you have) that \u201cthis is the one\u201d, the longer and constant the reward is going to be. Let\u2019s get one thing straight! Something any happily married couple will tell you.. I\u2019m talking happily married in multiples of decades.. a GREAT relationship takes work! Now I don\u2019t mean it has to be painful work. If you like your job/career then work is fun. I have fun coming up with surprises and experiences for my lady. If it ain\u2019t fun, then that\u2019s a sign of trouble.\nSo, if you do have to end a relationship, be sensitive to your partner and just be honest. Explain that you didn\u2019t realize what you really wanted when you decided to take it to the next level and that it\u2019s just not fair to go through the drudgery until you can\u2019t stand the site of each other. Express to her what\u2019s important to you and how it\u2019s just not evolving in the current relationship.. you\u2019ll tank me later I\u2019m sure. Oh yeah.. and next time.. make your list and make sure you guys talk about what you expect from a relationship (not from each other) before you take it to the next level. Unless a person is already on a journey to change or improve, it ain\u2019t gonna happen just because you think it will.",

In the United States, names like Terri Schiavo and Dr. Kevorkian clutter our collective understanding of what to expect at the end of life. And thus, we ignore the topic altogether. Starting a conversation about end-of-life wishes is often the most important and difficult step. While older adults and those with life-limiting illnesses are usually the focus of the conversation, it\u2019s useful for people to consider end-of-life preferences throughout their lifetimes.",

        "title": "The Farthest Star: Getting to Know My Spacy People",
        "raw_content": "Getting to Know My Spacy People\nDo you know what happens when I get side-tracked? I forget to update my blog for a month-and-a-half, that's what. Yes, a number of factors contributed to this unplanned hiatus, chief among them being model kits, Star Wars: The Clone Wars-themed artwork, and Skyrim.\nBut if you're anything like me, you don't read this blog for my words, you read it for the pretty pictures, so let's get to it.\nFirst up, a study sheet of my character Reina Cloude, set in the original universe of Novus Imperium. You may already be somewhat familiar with her, as she's been the subject of a previous post, and she occupies the background of my blog, come to think of it. In fact, the little icon that appears on the tab you've opened this blog in is a little painting of her eye. She's been the focus of a whole lot of development over the last couple years.\n1- This was just me getting warmed up. I think I'm finally starting to get a grasp on how the various shapes of her torso fit together.\n2- Similar to the above, I've drawn Reina's face more times than I care to count, but that's an essential part of the development process. I have to give her a defined look, and I have to get acquainted with every little detail to ensure that she has a consistent appearance.\n3- Finally trying out some ideas for the back of her civilian outfit. I wanted to give it a slightly more sci-fi feel than the previous studies and sketches I'd done.\n4&5- I've been trying to figure out her armor's design for a while now. It's a huge challenge, trying to make the armor look substantial enough to protect her, but still keep it light-weight and flexible enough for a stealth character like Reina. I'm liking where it's going with the back and chest, but I can't seem to work out exactly how I want the stomach section to look. It'll get there eventually.\nNext up is a character who's been in the works for as long as Reina, but who I've only in the last two years rally made a lot of progress with: Timberwolfe, an ex-military freelancer who acts as a sort of adoptive father to Reina. He's a Saldean, and alien species created by my close friend Kevin. Externally, Saldeans are extremely similar to Humans. Most of the differences are internal, the details of which I'll get into at some later date. Suffice to say, their home planet of Saldea is a high-gravity world, and Saldeans are heavily muscled to counteract this. On a Karic-like (Earth-like, basically) world, a Saldean is likely to be able to perform \"impossible\" feats of strength.\n1&2- A couple of head studies. Similar to Reina above, this was primarily just to help myself get acquainted with the various details of his face.\n3- This may be the first image I've ever drawn of Timberwolfe without him wearing a bandanna, headband, or skull-cap. I decided to extend that scar running up from his jawline through his eyebrow, up his forehead and over into his hair. The scars on his head and shoulder are a couple of nasty souvaniers from the mission that ended his black-ops career and resulted in his going freelance.\nAlternately: \"Timberwolfe, a proud member of the Solid Snake Hair Club for Men.\"\n4&5- Unlike Reina, Timberwolfe's armor has fallen into place without too much trouble. There's still plenty of room for improvement, but I'm really happy with where it's going. I've got sort of a blend of Metal Gear Solid 4 and Mass Effect influences going on with my current armor designs. Also worth noting: his physique. I'm trying to have his appearance show that he is obviously very strong, but also trim enough that he can really move when he needs to; vaulting over obstacles and leaping wide gaps when he needs to.\nAlso, he does have a real name, I just haven't figured out what it is yet. \"Timberwolfe\" is simply his old black-ops call sign.\nAlso Also, here's some shameless self-promotion: I'm currently taking commissions, for information, you can check Here.\nSo there it is. My apologies for neglecting my readers (all three of them). But I'm getting back into the groove, so expect weekly updates, at least.\nLabels: armor, cyborg, freelancer, novus imperium, sci-fi, sketches",

        "raw_content": "Shelly Francis scores personal best to win the G P Special 4*\nWELLINGTON, Fla.--Shelly Francis rode Danilo to a personal best score of 73.979 percent to win the Grand Prix Special CDI4* on March 17 during week 10 of the Global Dressage Festival.\nShelly Francis on DaniloFrancis and Danilo are ranked 42nd in the world.\n\u201cWhen you\u2019re really riding and pushing a bit and trying to make everything perfect, you kind of feel it\u2019s not your best ride because you\u2019re sweating more than the horse,\u201d said Francis, who is based in Loxahatchee, Fla., and was contending with a pair of stiff new riding boots. \u201cBut he did feel good; I just have to relax a little and trust him. We had a little mistake at C when he thought halt and rein-back, like in the grand prix, when I was trying to make passage. Other than that, he felt straight up.\u201d\nFRANCIS HAS been riding Patricia Stempel\u2019s 14-year-old gelding since he was 8.\n\u201cPatricia was riding him and doing a nice job, but then she suggested I show him a bit, which was her mistake, because now he\u2019s mine!\u201d said Francis. \u201cHe kept getting better and better, though I did have to take it a little slow. He has a funny little edge in there that can come alive at the snap of a finger, so I\u2019ve been trying to figure out how I can use a bit of that edge without getting too much. It\u2019s really starting to come together this year. He used to get nervous in the ring about being by himself, but now he\u2019s starting to enjoy it and he feels happier.\u201d\nFrancis partially attributes Danilo\u2019s improved performances to his well-rounded regime, which includes a broad variety of work, such as hacking and playing games.\n\u201cI get them fit enough, and then I don\u2019t work them all the time, because I feel they get mentally bored,\u201d said Francis, who does not have a regular trainer. \u201cI train with myself mostly, which works pretty good so far. Once in a while I have to kick myself around, but I\u2019m a visual learner and I watch all the top riders. I\u2019m a bit of an odd biscuit that way, but I did a lot of training in past years with great people like Johann Hinnemann, and now I have my own methods of training. I\u2019m 59, not 20 any more, so I train my horses from all the things I\u2019ve learned.\u201d\nOn April 1, Francis will make the journey over to Europe with her two top horses, Danilo and Doktor. She will be based in Warendorf, Germany for the summer, her sixth consecutive summer in Europe.\n\u201cI have good friends there, I love that little town and area, and I get my own nice little apartment so I can do all my own cooking and not gain weight, like when living in hotels,\u201d she said. \u201cThis year, Danilo gets to do the World Cup Final in Paris, which I\u2019m really excited about. I\u2019ve never been to Paris, so I\u2019ll get perfume, croissants, brie, pate and some really good wine.\u201d\nThe winner of the grand prix, Canada\u2019s Brittany Fraser on All In, had to settle for second in the Special, while her fellow Canadian Jill Irving was third on Degas 12, who is by De Niro, the same sire as Danilo.",

        "raw_content": "Bernie Sanders, US Presidential Candidate 2016\nWar as a Primary Export\nI'm not a big fan of US politics. In fact, I am disillusioned by US foreign policy as it affects the global balance of peace-and-order. Their primary export is not American pop culture like what's wildly adhered to by mainstream media. No, it's not Michael Jackson, Coca-cola or Harley Davidson. The US's primary export is war. Since the inception of the Federal Reserve in 1913, the US has been involved in 30 wars.\nPoliticians' Lies\nFor the US economy to flourish, they have to bomb ancient civilizations out of the map in the pretext of democracy and freedom. Iraq is the birthplace of the Sumerian civilization, dating back over 5,500 years. It's the oldest civilization on the planet as supported by archeological evidence. Now, it's a pile of rubble with orphans, widows, refugees and countless lost lives in its wake. Why? Because the politicians lied to the unknowing American public that Saddam has weapons-of-mass-destruction (WMA). It is now a foregone conclusion that there never was WMA. But notwithstanding, war continues to rage in Iraq and it has now spilt-over to its neighboring countries - Syria and the rest of the Middle East.\nThis is not the first lie. Robert McNamara, the Secretary of Defense during the Kennedy years and the administration whiz-kid of the Vietnam War, came out in public in 2003 that the Gulf of Tonkin Incident, the incident that sparked the 20-year Vietnam War, NEVER TOOK PLACE - it was another US pretext to venture into war.\nAmerican Military Industrial Complex\nThe American military-industrial complex is simply my metaphor to the big industries that have successfully corrupted the American political process to serve their interest - not the American people. Most industries have followed suit with their wad of money thrown to these politicians who provided lip-service for them. Big Pharma, the oil companies, Monsanto, etc. have all followed the template. America now, no longer subscribes to the vision of the founding fathers.\nI was resigned that the US global hegemony through war will continue without change...until Bernie Sanders came along.\nSeptember 1941 - Bernard \"Bernie\" Sanders is born in Brooklyn, New York from middle class parents who immigrated from Poland. He grew up in a small rent-controlled apartment in Brooklyn\nJanuary 1962 - Sanders, then 20-years old, leads students opposing segregation in off-campus housing owned by the University of Chicago\nAugust 1963 - Sanders takes the bus together with other activists to hear the historic speech of Martin Luther King Jr., \"I have a dream\", in Washington\n1970s - Sanders wins a U.S. Senate seat in Vermont, followed by winning his second run for statewide office during a gubernatorial election. He eventually replaced Gov. Thomas Salmon\n1984 - Mayor Sanders establishes the first municipal housing land trust in the US for affordable housing\nJanuary 1991 - Congressman Sanders votes against President George H. W. Bush authorizing him to use military force in the Gulf War\nOctober 1992 - Congress passes Sanders' legislation creating the National Program of Cancer Registries, \"the cancer weapon America needs most.\" Now, all 50 states run registries to help cancer researchers\nNovember 1993 - Sanders votes against the Clinton-sponsored North American Free Trade Agreement which essentially gives soaring corporate profits because it will be even easier for American companies to flee and setup business elsewhere to pay starvation wages\nJuly 1999 - Sanders took on the major pharmaceutical companies by becoming the first member of Congress to take seniors across the border to Canada to buy lower-cost prescription drugs\nNovember 1999 - a full decade before the 2008 market meltdown on Wall Street, Sanders votes \"NO\" to dismantle decades of financial regulations enacted to prevent the Great Depression from happening again\nOctober 2001 - Sanders votes against the USA Patriot Act as it will undermine basic individual freedoms (think Martial Law!). He also voted against reauthorizing the law in 2006 and 2011\nOctober 2002 - Sanders votes against the war in Iraq\n2006 - elected to the U.S. Senate after 16 years as Vermont's sole congressman in the House of Representatives\nJuly 2010 - Together with Republican Congressman Ron Paul, Sanders helped to pass a measure to audit the Federal Reserve which exposed how the independent agency gave $16T in near zero-interest loans to big banks and businesses after the 2008 economic collapse\n2012 - won re-election in 2012 to the U.S. Senate with 71% of the vote\nApril 2013 - Sanders attempts to break up major Wall Street banks so large that the collapse of one could send the overall economy into a downward spiral (think, \"too big to fail\")\nJanuary 2015 - Sanders votes against the Keystone XL pipeline to prevent TransCanada to transport dirty tar sands oil from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico\nMay 2015 - Sanders runs for President of the United States\nWith Bernie Sanders, there is renewed hope - even from me, a Filipino, who is now fed-up with scumbag politicians and their empty promises. With Bernie as US president, I see the rise of an emergent leader from the grassroots level to pacify a disgruntled America and one to bring soundness and consensus back to geopolitics.\nNo Sacred Cow\nUnlike most politicians who say whatever the voters want to hear, but remain a marionette of Big Business, Bernie attacked the big guys and exposed their manipulative means. He took on the might of the military-industrial complex, he took on Wall Street, he took the fight against the Federal Reserve, he fought head-on against the big pharmaceutical companies, etc. He has always been consistent about defending the interest of the middle class against those who exploit them.\nAgainst Alan Greenspan\nThis is perhaps the Bernie Sanders defining moment for me. Back in 2003, long before Bernie Sanders was a household word, in an era when Alan Greenspan, the then Chairman of the Federal Reserve, wielded unsurpassed power that it was even expressed in hushed-tones that Greenspan was more powerful than the US president, Bernie lacerated Greenspan for being oblivious to the plight of the American people. Below is the video that told it all, included Greenspan's conceding about his flawed model 5 years later, after the 2008 market meltdown.\nBernie already saw what was coming as early as 5 years before and sounded the alarm - nobody listened. In this presidential election, he is once again sounding the alarm. I hope the American voters take heed.\nNo Blood Money\nAgain, unlike most politicians who talk the talk but ultimately accept massive campaign contributions by Big Business, Bernie refuses to accept money from the big guys. He initiated a grassroots campaign contribution program where the average contribution is $27/person. So far, he has raised $3M. It's an insult to intelligence when these so called \"progressive\" politicians accept millions in campaign contribution from big business and exclaim that their vote remains impartial. Big Business is not stupid to be giving away millions for nothing.\nBernie stands for universal healthcare and free education, not war. He stands for racial harmony, not unrest. He stands for the little guy who gets bulldozed by big business.\nHere in the Philippines, there is a campaign frenzy with presidential candidates jockeying-up for any kind of political mileage, with the election looming on the horizon. I see the parallelism between the two countries. The US is lucky to have a Bernie Sanders. We don't have someone like him - and his kind doesn't happen too often. I hope the Americans realize this and vote him to office. Bernie is good for America, and because the world catches cold when America sneezes, Bernie is also good for the world. Consequently, he's good for the Philippines.\nps - even before Bernie Sanders became visible on the political radar, I already heard about him from the postings of David Joudrey. I would liken David to be another George Carlin or a Michael Moore. He is an activist who exposes dirty politicians, dirty business establishments and puts soundness into people's thinking. Keep posting David, and I'll keep reading. Thank you for being the MESSENGER.\nThe following politics like this:\nRobert Ignacio\nMario Tolentino\nMelany Gamos\nRonet Coliflores\nMark Anthony Samson\nHelen Stapleton\nPascale Wettstein\nErwin Cuenca\nEnrique Bendicho\nEmman Arcenal Maceda\n(Feb 11, 2016) What we have are Trumps\n(Feb 10, 2016) Yes so right Gigit, maybe you should be the next Filipino hero and run for president!\n\"maybe you should run for president\" -- Pascale Wettstein\n(Feb 10, 2016) Flattering, thank you, Pascale. Honestly, I've pondered on the thought but my friends think my radical changes are too severe - not in line with the ways of a yogi meditator.\n(Feb 10, 2016) This is a post from one of my friends from the Philippines...a wonderful, heart-centered man who is looking at what is happening here in the U.S. I don't believe any of my friends from outside the U.S. have anything like this to say about any of the other candidates. Because from what I can tell, Bernie is the only one who is about unity, connection, and seeing the human race as one big family. Sadly, I know this scares some people. What scares me more is the alternative.\n(Feb 10, 2016) Sadly Gigit, we don't have anyone even remotely like him running for president. All our candidates are more on the Trump and Hillary side of the spectrum. I hope so too that Americans don't pass up that chance.\n\u00bb\u00bb next story: Conducting a Half-Day Yoga, Pranayama and Meditation Workshop in Makati",

Strange and perverse, outweighing all other fellow Asian national cinemas in such regard, but also cozy and warm, again outweighing other cinemas of the so-called Far East. And Bong Joon-ho's cinema is no different than his fellow compatriots - strange and perverse, yet cozy and warm. His latest, the simply, yet ominously titled Mother, is the very epitome of these rather contradicting characterizations, and its star, Kim Hye-ja, is the proverbial (appropriately enough) mother to this very aforementioned enigmatic theory of mine. Oh yeah, and she should have been nominated for a Best Actress Oscar too, but that might be asking for a bit too much.\nRead my review of Mother at The Cinematheque.\nLabels: 2010, South Korean Cinema\nI do wish people would learn how to better interpret the things I say and write. A simple status update on Facebook, reading \"Just saw No Strings Attached. Can I just say 'it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be' and leave it at that?\" brought about several comments from people wondering how I could possibly like a movie such as that. I don't know about you, but my comment in no way claims any kind of liking of the movie in question, only how it was not as bad as one would have assumed (or even hoped for in a way). Not hating a movie and actually liking it are two completely different horses people, get that through your thick skulls! But I digress. Here is a link to my review of the aforementioned movie that I did not hate (but did not like either people!!) and hopefully I come through a bit clearer in said review than I did on that certain social network everyone is a gaga about. But truthfully, the movie isn't all that bad. There I go again.\nRead my review of No Strings Attached at The Cinematheque.\nLabels: 2011, Natalie Portman\nI am doing some guest reviews for a site called 366 Weird Movies, a site that (obviously) specializes in weird movies. I have already done pieces on Johnny Guitar (not so weird per se, as kitschy) and Dogtooth (the Greek weirdness that was just nominated for a Foreign Language Oscar) and now my third guest review is for an Estonian film called The Temptation of St. Tony. I have already posted my (ever-so-slightly alternate) review of said film over at The Cinematheque, but the fine folks are just now posting the review at their site, so here it is.\nRead my review of The Temptation of St. Tony at 366 Weird Movies.\nLabels: 2010, 366 Weird Movies, Cult Film\nMy Quest To See the 1000 Greatest: Bigger Than Life (1956)\nBigger Than Life is #575 in\nBased on a 1955 New Yorker article by Berton Roueche, entitled \"Ten Feet Tall\", Nicholas Ray's fourteenth film as a credited director (in a mere eight years), the story of a man who becomes addicted to Cortisone and loses his mind, had the misfortune of being a box office flop upon its initial release in 1956, as well as stirring up quite a bit of controversy from the so-called, and self-appointed, and quite self-righteous, moral majority of the times. Seen as an all-out attack on the supposed moral fiber of 1950's, Eisenhower America, and more intimately, an attack on the family itself, Bigger Than Life, was pretty much persona non grata in the small towns of middle America.\nNow there is no doubt in my mind that Nick Ray, and star and uncredited co-screenwriter James Mason, meant for this to be an attack on fifties family values, and therefore should have come as no surprise that it did bring out such wrath in so many people at the time. Also what should have come as no surprise, considering a substantially higher rate of open-mindedness amongst the group, is that the critics of Cahiers du cinema were big fans of the film (and I am sure, the attack on our majority-imposed moral fiber) and Jean-Luc Godard called the film one of the ten best American sound films ever made. The film today is heralded as a modern masterpiece, and I must say, now that I have finally seen the damned thing, I agree with this hearalding.\nThis is certainly one of Ray's better films - placed snugly amongst On Dangerous Ground, They Live By Night, In A Lonely Place and Rebel Without A Cause (though Johnny Guitar still stands above them all) - as well as one of his deeper ones, psychologically speaking. Mason's performance as the titular mental giant (at least in his own drug-induced psyche) is the best this critic has ever seen. Showing us a psychosis that is both inhuman and monstrous, but at the same time, sadly sympathetic, Mason devours the shadow-laden screen of Ray's cinema and turns the film into his own. This is a feat that is extremely difficult to do with Ray at the helm. No offense to the talents of actors such as Farley Granger or Humphrey Bogart or Robert Ryan or Ida Lupino, but such a feat has only happened two other times in Ray's oeuvre - James Dean in Rebel and Joan Crawford in Johnny Guitar.\nStill though, Bigger Than Life is no doubt a Nicholas Ray movie, with its ominous camera and succulent colour scheme, as well as the aforementioned shadow-laden sets. The type of movie that breathes life into the cinema and keeps the pure cinephilia of young turks like myself so deliriously enamoured with the medium for all-time.\nPart Bresson, part Dardennes, part Bunuel, this chillingly stunning work of spiritual provocativeness, with the strange name, from French auteur Bruno Dumont took my totally by surprise. Just when I thought I did not have enough films to make a proper Best of 2010 List, along comes Hadewijch, and my dreams are answered. Sure, I am full of prototypically silly hyperbole here, but it is all true. My review is finally posted over on my site, so see/read for yourself, then search this beautiful film out and watch the damned thing.....pronto.\nRead my review of Hadewijch at The Cinematheque.\nThe nominations have been announced and now you get to throw in your two and a half cents. You have exactly one month (from nomination day) to choose the film you would vote for for Best Picture. Just go over to the left-handed sidebar and make your choice. Results will be posted on the day before the Oscar telecast (which is Feb. 27th btw, well the Oscars are the 27th, the results will be posted Feb. 26th).\nI suppose I did relatively well on my predictions. I went 39 for 45 (or 87%) on the 8 major categories and overall 86 for 120 (or 72%). I did after all, make predictions in even the dangerous categories of short films - doing the worst in Live Action Short (only 1 out of 5 right). My percentage is down slightly from last year, where it was at 89% (I only predicted the 6 Majors last year, leaving out the screenplay categories as well as all the tech stuff).\nAs far as what I did right or wrong, here are my \"highlights\". My last minute switch from 127 Hours to The Town in BP and Mila Kunis for Jacki Weaver in Supporting Actress did not pay off very well, but my adding on of Michelle Williams for Best Actress did. I got perfect scores in Best Actress and Best Original Screenplay. I got one wrong in Best Supporting Actor, but the fact that John Hawkes got nominated, makes it just all right with me - though I would have expected Jeremy Renner to be the one knocked out instead of Andrew Garfield.\nAnyway, surprises were not that prevalent (surprise, surprise). There were a few though. Along with the aforementioned John Hawkes and Michelle Williams nods (though I did correctly predict Ms. Williams' nod), they include (yet another) snub for Chris Nolan, to be replaced by the Coens (I personally found Inception and True Grit to be about comparable films in my liking, so it is a push as far as I am concerned), a well-deserved nod for Dogtooth in the Foreign category (which I predicted btw) and the snubbing of Waiting For Superman, which I not only thought would get nominated, but was the frontrunner to win Best Doc. All that and only 4 nominees for Best Song, leaving Cher out in the cold (isn't that what the Oscars song category is all about!? Obnoxious music?). But my favourite surprise still is the great John Hawkes finally getting some recognition for his acting. Way to go Teardrop (perhaps the Academy was afraid he would come after them if he wasn't nominated).\nAnyway, I'll leave the Oscars alone for now and get back to watching and reviewing movies (old and new alike), as well as planning the Second Annual Midtown Cinema Oscar Party, and will return with my Oscar predictions the day before the big show (which is February 27th btw).\nOh yeah, I nearly forgot - congrats Michelle (if you need anyone to celebrate with, you can e-mail me courtesy of this blog).\nIt is probably a foolish endeavor taken on by fools, and perhaps it is a seen as a lesser-than-respectable thing for a cinephile to do, but here we go anyway. And remember, I have placed a few surprises amongst my predictions, just to keep everything fresh.\n127 Hours has been on my potential list for a long long time now, but here, at the proverbial last minute, I drop it in place of The Town. Of course one could conceivably see an even bigger surprise with Another Year sneaking in, in place of True Grit or The Town. Overall it is pretty much an eleven dog race here (twelve if one still counts Another Year) so if I am wrong I will not be THAT wrong. Then again, not many people saw The Blind Side coming last year, but there it was anyway.\nA surprise here could come in the form of either Mike Leigh or Lisa Cholodenko, but these seem to be the final five in pretty much every precursor and/or prediction charts, and I see no reason to disagree.\nThe big early buzz was on Robert Duvall for Get Low, but since then, such buzz has pretty much died out, even though most are still predicting his nomination. I on the other hand think Wahlberg will coast in on a big Fighter wave that will surely get three other acting nominations come Tuesday morning. That and the fact that I love surprises (sadly not very prevalent any more at The Oscars) make me put Wahlberg up there. Then again, if Wahlberg can sneak in there it could be in place of Bridges and not Duvall. Of course we should not count out Javiar Bardem in Biutiful. It had a tiny window of an opening, but he is well-liked. Also, I would love to see Ryan Gosling pull off a nod here for Blue Valentine, but he looks to be the eigth man in a five man race.\nIn a last minute switcharoo, I took Lesley Manville off of the list and replace her with my darling Michelle. This is a pretty daring choice I think, since this has been a five woman race (including Manville) since long ago, but I just do not feel right leaving Ms. Williams off the list.\nThe most possible spoilers here would be Bill Murray or John Hawks (I would loooove to see that one happen), but one could well imagine a nod for Matt Damon in True Grit as well. A bigger surprise would be Michael Douglas for Wall Street, but it could happen. The biggest vulnerables are Renner and/or Ruffalo.\nJacki Weaver had been an early buzz worthy choice here, but she seems to have fallen to the wayside to be replaced by Kunis. Dianne Wiest is another early buzzee that may seem out of it now, but either of these actresses could pop back in in place of Kunis or Steinfeld. Of course, since Steinfeld is actually the lead in True Grit, she could get a surprise nod for the lead category - where she should really be, making room here for Wiest or Weaver, or even perhaps Barbara Hershey.\nThe only other real possibility is Black Swan, but it may be perceived more as a \"director picture\", making room for Mike Leigh to sneak in. Plus, I don't really see a perfect ten for ten correlation between Pic and the two screenplay categories.\nAs I said above, I don't really see a perfect ten for ten correlation between Pic and the two screenplay categories, so a film like The Ghost Writer could pop in here, as could 127 Hours (which may end up being a BP nominee anyway) or even, in a bigger surprise, a film like Barney's Version could really surprise.\nBiutiful (Mexico)\nDogtooth (Greece)\nEven the Rain (Spain)\nIncendies (Canada)\nExit Through teh Gift Shop\nAna's Playground\nLittle Children, Big Words\nIf all goes according to the above plan, then Inception will lead the nominations with 10, followed by The Fighter and True Grit with 9 each and The Social Network with just 8. Being the frontrunner, one would expect more out of The Social Network. Ah well, perhaps I am just banging my head against the wall, as the young Ms. Reynolds is doing with and Oscar itself (though against walnuts and not the wall) in the screenshot below, courtesy of Frank Tashlin and the fun little film, Susan Slept Here. We will see Tuesday morning if my head-banging worked.\nWilliam Dieterle's Masterful But Mostly Forgotten The Last Flight\nMiriam Bale, in a recent issue of Film Comment, said of William Dieterle's 1931 Lost Generation movie The Last Flight, that it is \"the best film version of Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises that never was.\"\nWith more than mere similarities to Hemingway's iconic post-WWI novel, Dieterle shows us a group of four pilots, all injured, in both body and soul, from the devastation of war, making their way through the bars and nightclubs of Jazz-age Paris. \"Get tight and stay tight\" one character matter-of-factly states when asked what he will do after the war. Somewhere along this parade of inebriation, these ex-flyer ex-pats, always nattily dressed, and just as nattily sauced, meet a young, near-sighted woman, who just may be even more lost than they. She is of course taken on as their mascot, and, in this age of pre-code wanton cinematic decadence (though still seeming quite tame by today's anything-goes standards), much more, if only in allusion and/or innuendo.\nThe film stars Richard Barthelmess, David Manners, Johnny Mack Brown and the strange beauty, Helen Chandler as the effervescent, and quite peculiar Nikki. \"Hey, what kind of girl do you think Nikki is?\" Bill (Brown) asks Cary (Barthelmess), to which he replies, \"I think she's the kind that sits down on phonograph records.\" I am not exactly sure what this means, but it is certainly something that makes both Nikki, and the film's dialogue in general (which is filled with seeming nonsensical, or perhaps even surrealist lines), stand out amongst the more typical fare (in both character and dialogue) of the early talkie era. And though this is the story of these pilots and their post-war disillusionment (a rather popular subject in both film and literature at the time) it is Chandler's adorably off-kilter Nikki, with those faraway eyes and seeming oblivious nature, that acts as the proverbial glue that holds both these men and this picture together.\nRisque and randy, with inevitable tragedy for these lost souls, this Lost Generation, Dieterle's film is a unique combination of both hard-hitting message moviemaking and an hypnotic sentimentalism that digs deep into the heart of this quite sentimental critic. Dieterle, who was a typical hard-working studio director of the times, would never gain the vaunted auteur status that many of his compatriots would later garner during the 1960's revitalization of filmic history, but then again, his output, but for here or there, is probably not worth such recognition, though he is surely worth getting much more recognition than he is usually afforded - which is pretty much none at all.\nAfter coming over from Germany (where he worked as an actor/director and whose best known work was the homosexual-themed prison movie, Sex in Chains), in the wave of Hitler-driven emigration that brought Lang, Murnau, Lubitsch and others to the Hollywood fold, Dieterle made a career out of making solid, but rather typical pictures like The Story of Louis Pasteur, The Life of Emile Zola and Juarez. Dieterle's Pre-Code output had an interesting international flair to it (mainly attributable to the looser artistry of European filmmaking of the 1920's) even if he did often fall flat later on in his career.\nThe Last Flight is now considered one of the great forgotten masterpieces of its day (as well as giving Cary Grant the first half of his stage name, after playing the part of Cary on stage) and is easily one of the most smartly written (as well as most cock-eyed written) motion pictures of the Pre-Code era. Even though it was a tragedy and not a comedy, the screwball ethic that was born around this same time, managed to come through in the film's great dialogue and pacing, as well as, strangely enough, in the film's melancholy dark humour and surrealist mentality. Now, thanks to Warner Archives, The Last Flight is out on DVD, and hopefully will be able to drop the forgotten part off of that aforementioned moniker of forgotten masterpiece.\nLabels: 30's Cinema, Classics, Pre-Code Hollywood\nIn Defense of Sofia Coppola, And A Link To My Review of Somewhere\nThere are many who call Sofia Coppola's cinema, the cinema of privilege, the cinema of entitlement, and I suppose, in a manner of speaking, they are correct. One can also say, and many have said, the same of directors such as Noah Baumbach and Spike Jonze and (of course) Woody Allen, but when this criticism is thrown at the young Coppola, it seems to come off as much more mean-spirited than when it is said of these others. Perhaps this is a gender thing, who knows. My point being (and, it seems, I am really doing a bad job of trying to get to said point) that just because Coppola writes and films about those one might consider entitled and/or privileged, does not mean her work is shallow because if it. Many boo hoo about how we should not feel sorry for the wealthy - they have money and therefore have no real problems like the rest of us - including the two friends I happened to see Somewhere with this past weekend (my wife on the other hand, like me, had none of these qualms) but when all is said and done, anyone and everyone can have problems (the old chestnut of money not being capable of buying happiness, and all that).\nPerhaps if Coppola were to make films about steelworkers or bartenders or the cop on the beat, then she may not get the same criticisms about her work. But she does not make movies about steelworkers or bartenders or the cop on the beat, she makes films about movie stars and queens and teen beauties. Hemingway wrote about drinking and bullfighting and Paris after the war because this is what he knew. Fitzgerald wrote about Jazz parties and flappers because that is what he knew. Kerouac wrote about Zen Buddhism, being on the road and doing lots of drugs because that is what he knew. Howard Hawks made films about male comradery and pilots because that is what he knew. Sofia Coppola makes movies about the absurdities and foibles of privilege because that is what she knows. Somewhere is probably the writer/director's most autobiographical work to date (just put her in the Elle Fanning role and Francis Ford in the Stephen Dorff role).\nAnyway, what I am trying to say is that just beacuse a person writes/directs about things and people that may seem shallow or haughty to the common moviegoer (or even those critics who enjoy badmouthing such things - and you know who you are Mr. White! - someone who incidentally, also managed to dis the girl's father in the same review, as being a boring filmmaker!? - but enough about ole Armond, he is not worth the ire).....back to my point, none of this means this same filmmaker cannot express her particular worldview, admittedly a narrow one (but not necessarily a shallow one), with a certain kind of sublime melancholy that makes her films quite enjoyable.\nThere, I said it! Of course none of this defense of Ms. Coppola changes the fact that I was somewhat disappointed in Somewhere - or at the very least, in the last half hour of Somewhere, when it suddenly became the cliche'd thing I was so happy the rest of the film was most certainly not. Anyway, I've rambled on long enough - there is actually a review of the film (though it too is encumbered by my seeming need to defend the director to the high heavens) over at my website, The Cinematheque (linked just below), that you might want to peruse at your leisure. You too Armond, if you're not too busy shoving your head up your own ass.\nRead my review of Somewhere at The Cinematheque.\nBlood Simple. is #574 in\nBlood Simple (according to Dashiell Hammett's 1929 novel Red Harvest): a term used to describe the addled, fearful mindset of people after a prolonged immersion in violent situations. \"This damned burg's getting me. If I don't get away soon I'll be going blood-simple like the natives.\"\nIn a sort of reverse mentality, it is not until I have seen numbers two through fourteen of the Coen Brothers oeuvre, that I finally go back and watch number one. Number one of course, being the neo-noir thriller Blood Simple. Starring John Getz, Frances McDormand (who would become Joel Coen's wife during filming, and is still such today, some twenty-seven years later) and Dan Hedaya as the requisite love triangle with the equally requisite tragic ending (at least for two of them), the Coens had fashioned a fun, if not quite all that unique, film noir in their first turn out of the gate.\nWith obvious nods to such past noir (or noirish films) as Double Indemnity, Out of the Past, Strangers on a Train and The Ladykillers (which the Coens' would eventually remake, albeit poorly so) brothers Joel and Ethan do a (for lack of a better term) bang-up job with this film. Perhaps it is not in the upper echelon of the brother's aforementioned oeuvre (when compared to the work they would turn in later on in their career - and are still handing in to this day) but is certainly an aspiring directorial debut, full of an obvious love and knowledge of film history, as well the beginning stages of that strange, almost bewildering style (combined with the style of the noir they are imitating) that will become the brothers' hallmark throughout their career.\nThe movie surely has some great scenes hinged throughout the production, including both an hilarious scene in which a dead man just refuses to stay dead, instead choosing to crawl down an almost empty highway in a stylistic moment that will come to define the Coens' as filmmakers (become, as I stated earlier, their hallmark, if you will), and a phenomenal freak-out finale that should be considered among the very best of its kind, and the movie is definitely one of the better of the neo-noir movement of the eighties, and M. Emmet Walsh gives what is probably the best, and most sinister, performance of his career as the snake-oiled, hired hit-man (another requisite noir factor).\nIn the annals of film history, Blood Simple. (and yes, the period is supposed to be there) should go down as one of the best examples of neo-noir out there as well as an audacious start to a long (and sometimes uneven) career. To further illustrate the importance of this directorial debut, one need only look at Zhang Yimou's Chinese remake of the film, the giddily named (but not very good) A Woman, a Gun and a Noodle Shop. Not only does Zhang do his own game of reversal, by remaking an American film in Asia, but he whole-heartedly announces it as the proudest (and strangest) of remakes right there on the poster. The film's legacy is assured.\nLabels: Film Noir, My Quest To See the 1000 Greatest, The Coen Brothers\nThere have been many many (many) complaints about how Lena Dunham's Mumblecorely manufactured Tiny Furniture is nothing more than a D.I.Y. soapbox for a privileged white kid to climb up on and whine about how Goddamned tough life is for her and her fellow Gen Y grouses, and yes, it most certainly is just that (as is pretty much 97.3% of the rather vapid, self-involved Mumblecore movement), but still, for some strange reason (a reason I may never fathom anywhere but in the dark recesses of my brain and a reason that led to my inexplicable enjoyment of past Mumblecore films such as Hannah Takes the Stairs and Beeswax), this self-absorbed whining somehow fascinates me, and therefore I actually quite enjoyed (inexplicably again) Lena Dunham's Tiny Furniture, not in spite of its incessant nagging and whining, but because of its incessant nagging and whining. Strange, ain't it?\nRead my review of Tiny Furniture at The Cinematheque.\nFilm Poll #8: Name Your Favourite Darren Aronofsky Film\nAnd the votes are in. Perhaps it has to do with none of us having very long attention spans, but the latest Aronofsky was voted your favourite Aronofsky. This was my pick as well, so I don't know why I am whining about it. It was actually a two-dog race from beginning to end, as the first Aronofsky and the latest Aronofsky were neck and neck until the latter took the lead in the final hours of voting.\nBlack Swan - 7 votes (36%)\nPi - 6 votes (31%)\nThe Fountain - 4 votes (21%)\nThe Wrestler - 2 votes (10%)\nRequiem for a Dream - 0 votes (0%)\nThis victory for Black Swan comes on the day that Natalie Portman takes home the Golden Globe for her stellar performance in the film. Now onto the Oscar...\nMy personal picks, in case you care, are (in descending order, though I have thoroughly enjoyed all five of the mustachio'd auteur's films) Black Swan, The Fountain, The Wrestler, Requiem and Pi.\nI will be back in a few weeks with a brand new poll (which will probably have something to do with the Oscars).\nLabels: Darren Aronofsky, Film Poll, Natalie Portman\nAnd awaaaaay we go...\nBest Motion Picture, Drama - The King's Speech\nThe Social Network has been the critical darling all awards season long and one would surely think it would and will win here, but that is not necessarily the case. The Globes awarded Atonement over No Country For Old Men (a film similarly lauded by critics, myself included) a few years back and I think this year will follow suit with The King's Speech taking top honours. I still think The Social Network will win the Oscar though. But then again, the year end awards no longer have much of the surprise factor as they once did, so perhaps picking a surprise to win this one is a somewhat poor idea.\nBest Motion Picture, Comedy/Musical - Alice in Wonderland\nThe race here is between the good, though not great Kids and the horrible, and nothing but Alice. There is no doubt in my mind that The Kids Are All Right should take home this award. Though it wasn't a great film (many claim it was) it is certainly heads and shoulders (as they say) above the competition here. Why far superior comedies such as Easy A or City Island or Greenberg or even The Other Guys were not nominated in place of the other dreck or semi-dreck, we may never know. In the end though, I think the Globes are going to go populist over credibility here and give the award to Alice in Wonderland.\nEven though I think the man's film is going to get beaten out for the top award, Fincher will still probably win the Director award, especially considering King's director Tom Hooper is a virtual unknown. We could see a surprise in Aronofsky (I would love that) but I think this is Fincher's award to win.\nBest Actor, Drama - Colin Firth in The King's Speech\nLast year, Jeff Bridges lesser work in Crazy Heart beat out Firth's far superior work in A Single Man, so this should be Firth's award this time around - and his performance as the stammering King George VI is indeed worthy in its own right, even without the make-up votes. Of course James Franco could give him a bit of competition since he holds his picture together pretty much single-handedly.\nBest Actress, Drama - Natalie Portman in Black Swan\nAlthough personally I would give this award to Michelle Williams (I would pretty much give any award or anything for that matter, to Michelle Williams) I cannot see anyone but Natalie accepting the Globe here.\nBest Actor, Comedy/Musical - Kevin Spacey in Casino Jack\nTwo nominations for Johnny Depp? And in two of his worst roles/performances!? Where is Ben Stiller in Greenberg? Andy Garcia in City Island? Even Michael Cera in Scott Pilgrim. Anyway, I don't think any of these nominees are even in the Oscar race, so this is a total free-for-all. I suppose Depp winning for Alice isn't out of the question though - people do love the guy, even in lesser work.\nBest Actress, Comedy/Musical - Annette Bening in The Kids Are All Right\nThis should cement the whole Natalie vs. Annette Oscar showdown that is surely coming in a month. I would love to see Emma Stone steal this away from La Bening but it ain't gonna happen.\nProbably the one and only true lock in any of the acting categories. It would be a huge huge huge surprise to hear any name other than Christian Bale called. Not much more to say on this one.\nBest Supporting Actress - Amy Adams in The Fighter\nAs much of a lock that Supporting Actor is, that's how up in the air this one is. I would not be surprised at hearing any of these names called out. I think Adams will prevail though since she jumps out of her normal comfort zone with this role and that always impresses.\nBest Screenplay - Aaron Sorkin for The Social Network\nI don't really see this one going any other way (a fantastic screenplay and already an Oscar shoo-in) but we probably shouldn't count out Kids or even King's, but it should be Sorkin all the way.\nBest Animated Feature - Toy Story 3\nThough I would love to see The Illusionist win this one, but Pixar has NEVER lost this award and they are not about to do so with what may very well be their most popular movie ever.\nBest Foreign Language Film - Biutiful\nThis is a race between Biutiful and I Am Love and I have gone back and forth between the two several times and decided to just flip a coin (I didn't really flip a coin, I just thought that sounded better). Seriously though, the Globes are much better at this category than the Oscars usually are, awarding such things as The White Ribbon and Waltz With Bashir, so perhaps I should go back to I Am Love instead.\nBest Original Score - Alexandre Desplat for The King's Speech\nI would love love love to see The Social Network take this one. That way Trent Reznor would be a Golden Globe winner. Alas, though, the award will probably go to the safer (but still rather good in many ways) King's Speech score. Of course they could always toss a bone to Inception and give it to Hans Zimmer.\nBest Original Song - You Haven't Seen the Last of Me from Burlesque\nI really have no idea about this one (the Oscar equivalent is the same) so I just decided to pick the one sung by Cher. Who knows?\nSee ya Sunday night...\n*addendum (post show recap):\nAnd I only got 8 right (and 6 wrong!?). Granted, I went out on a limb predicting The King's Speech to beat The Social Network (I didn't think the HFPA would get it right) and who would have thought they would hand an award to Trent Reznor (!?). Anyway, not a great prediction rate, but my Oscar predix will be better, since I probably won't go out on any more limbs.\nThe Good, the Bad & the Ugly is #573 in\nQuentin Tarantino, one of my favourite directors working in modern Hollywood, claims The Good, the Bad & the Ugly as his all-time favourite movie, proving so by \"stealing\" several scenes for both his Kill Bill, Volume II and Inglourious Basterds. Sergio Leone, the director of the same, is one of the greatest visual filmmakers of all-time. The score of the film, by Ennio Morricone, is one of the most vividly rousing works of filmic music I have ever heard (I even have the main theme as my ringtone). The Western, as a standard-bearer is one of my favourite genres, and the revisionist and/or Spaghetti style just adds to the revelry. All this and still it took me until well after my forty-third birthday to finally sit down and watch the damned thing. But it was well worth the wait, as they say.\nLong and weaving, Leone takes his camera everywhere, even right into the sun-beaten faces of Eastwood, Van Cleef and Wallach, and then takes it even further. I believe this surpasses what Leone would eventually do a few years later in the still fantastic Once Upon a Time in the West, even if many consider the latter to be the better film (except for me and QT). From the opening credits, Morricone's score blaring behind, beside, in front of and all around them (supposedly designed in places to mimic the sound of crying hyenas), to the once excised, now put back where it belongs Civil War battle scene, torpedoing his camera and his cast through the trenches of warfare (even if perhaps there was never any actual trench warfare in said war), to the seemingly endless three-way shot out finale, with Tuco's frantic penultimate race around the cemetery, The Good, the Bad & the Ugly is a true blue masterpiece of cinema. And masterpiece is not a word I toss around all willy-nilly like many others - it means something where I come from.\nSure, the title may be something of a misnomer - there really is no good person involved here. Eastwood's \"good\" man-with-no-name is only good in comparison to Van Cleef and Wallach's Bad and Ugly respectively. Still, that aside, Leone's film is a remarkable thing to watch - especially up on the big screen and in hi-def, with the sound system at screaming capacity, and me in the front row, sitting beside my lovely wife (also seeing the film for the first time). It was a glourious (sic) time had by all.\nLabels: 60's Cinema, Classics, Cult Film, My Quest To See the 1000 Greatest, Westerns\nWe are going to do this countdown style (just because I feel like it) so let us begin, as it were, at the end, and work our way up to number one.\n35) Captain America: The First Avenger - Being a comic book geek from way back and a rabid cinephile from nearly as long ago, the sudden boom of cinematic superhero adaptations has been both a welcome sight and a harbinger of doom. Though I love seeing my old friends from those halcyon days of yore, projected twenty feet tall on the big screen, the ability to create great cinema out of such is a thing of great difficulty. Sure, Chris Nolan can do it, but can anyone else? Joe Johnston, who practically killed The Wolfman with his horrendously dull adaptation, is probably not the guy for the job, and the casting of Chris Evans as the man to don the stars and stripes could be construed as a travesty, but Cap still squeaks onto the list due to him being one of my childhood faves (along with his socio-political nemesis and Avenger teammate Hawkeye) and my having at least some semblance of hope - faint as it may be.\n34) Your Highness - Natalie Portman, James Franco and Zooey Deschanel in Medieval times - what more can you ask for. In all actuality I am not really expecting much from this film. Director David Gordon Green has done some good work (All the Real Girls and Snow Angels were both subtly sublime without anyone really noticing) but he seems to be going the Judd Apatow road these days, and that is never a good thing (unless you are looking for frat boy humour that is) and the film also stars the rather annoying Danny McBride as well. But then we do get Natalie and Zooey in Medieval garb - what more can one ask for.\n33) Red Riding Hood - Yeah yeah, I know, there's the whole Twilight connection, but Catherine Hardwicke does have an interesting visual style which lends itself to this iconic story and Amanda Seyfried is a good call for the titular wolf-lover/slayer and Julie Christie as Red's Grandma could be fun and Gary Oldman looks to be his old sinister self, all of which could bode well for the film. Of course, Hardwicke will have to go beyond the typically tweeny mentality she was forced to play with in Twilight when it comes to the sexuality of the movie (the carnality even) for it to succeed on anything but a superficial level. It has potential indeed, now let's just hope it can live up to it.\n32) The Green Hornet - I must admit right off the bat that I am not a fan of Seth Rogen. I enjoyed him in the long lost TV show Freaks & Geeks (the first and last time I actually liked something created by Judd Apatow also) but other than that, he just gets on my nerves. No real reason, he just gets on my nerves, simple as that. Of course one must wonder why a film starring the aforementioned Mr. Rogen makes this list at all - not to mention (though I am mentioning it!) a film done in that ever-annoying, cinematography-killing 3D craze that is sweeping multiplexes across the world. The answer to that wonderment is simply put - un film de Michel Gondry. Though to be honest, even that is probably not enough.\n31) Paul - Two sci-fi geeks find an alien outside of Area 51 and all proverbial Hell breaks loose. This is not what one looks for in a good movie necessarily but the film does have something worth noting - well, two somethings. The two things that put this one on the map are Simon Pegg and Nick Frost as the aforementioned sci-fi/alien adopters. Otherwise it could fall flat on its face (and again Seth Rogen is on board, albeit in voice only).\n30) Thor - Again with the superhero movies and my inner cinephile battling my inner comic book geek. Yeah, I know, one should not look for great cinema in such a genre (except when Chris Nolan is involved), but instead how much fun that inner comic book geeks is having watching the screen. The reason this one makes the list, other than a nostalgia for my childhood and the Marvel Comics of the nineteen-seventies (before the industry lost its soul and went corporate), is the palpable excitement at seeing just how Asgard, home of the Gods, looks on the big screen. Again, like with Captain America, there is probably just disappointment in my future, but one must have a little hope.\n29) Rise of the Apes - Starring James Franco, the busiest man in show biz (seriously, check out the guy's bio, he is working on about a dozen projects right now with another bunch in the wings) this origin story of The Planet of the Apes may have disaster written all over it, but my love for the original movies (and TV show) force my hand, so here it is at number 29. At least it cannot be as bad as the Tim Burton version, right? Right? Right?\n28) X-Men: First Class - And here we go again. The first X-Men movie was well done (all things considered) and the second was one of the better films of the genre, but the third was just an unnecessary mess of a movie (as was the Wolverine prequel) so now here we are with a hopeful reboot of sorts, placing the story in the nineteen-sixties and showing the rise of the mutants. My main attraction to this one is the cast. James McAvoy as Xavier, Michael Fassbender as Magneto, Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique, Rose Byrne as Moira MacTaggert and Kevin Bacon as Sebastian Shaw. Of course, the highlight of the film may very well be January Jones in full Emma Frost costume (those fellow comic book geeks know what I'm talkin' 'bout).\n27) Take This Waltz - For not being a fan of Seth Rogen, the guy is involved in quite a few films on this list, but I suppose when you star in just about everything out there, that is bound to happen. Anyway, the inclusion on this list is not for Mr. Rogen, but for the director, Sarah Polley (well, and costar Michelle 'My Belle' Williams). I have been a fan of the lovely miss Polley since first seeing her in The Sweet Hereafter (technically Terry Gilliam's Baron Munchausen was the first time I saw her, but it was in The Sweet Hereafter that she first blew me away) but here she acts as writer/director. Her previous directorial feature, Away We Go, had a moodiness to it that can best be described as Canadian (although on a lesser scale, she shares a certain unique moodiness in her directing style with fellow Canucks, Atom Egoyan and David Cronenberg). This moodiness is why her film makes the list - that and Michelle Williams (Rogen be damned!).\n26) We Bought a Zoo - Though the auteur has never made a great film, Cameron Crowe has created some great scenes inside those not so great (but some very good) movies. He does have a bad habit of going overboard on the sap and sentimentality (and this is coming from the admitted sentimentalist this critic is) but he has still managed to gather together some pretty good moments throughout his career - many of them involving the director's seeming sixth sense at musical inclusion. All that being said, Crowe's latest film, starring Matt Damon, Scarlett Johansson and Elle Fanning, should, even if not a great film, at the very least, have some rather enjoyable moments throughout.\n25) The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn - I am one of the last people to anticipate a Spielberg film, but here I am doing it. Technically speaking, Spielberg is a talented filmmaker, I just find the guy rather soulless, yet here I am looking forward to his latest film. I have never read any of the Tintin comics of yore, but from what I have seen, it seems rather interesting visually speaking (seeming to be more unique than your typical modern day animation) - and it has Simon Pegg and Nick Frost in their strange motion-capture selves.\n24) The Raven - John Cusack is Edgar Allen Poe and he is solving crimes. What the !!??? The absurdity alone, of changing Poe into a Sherlock Holmesian character hellbent on tracking down a serial killer using Poe's fiction as his M.O., is well worth any anticipation I may have for this film.\n23) The Cabin in the Woods - A self-proclaimed \"twist\" on the usual formula, this Joss Whedon written horror movie is co-written and directed by Drew Goddard, one of the writers of Lost, so we should possibly expect something that perhaps makes no sense at all. The Joss Whedon connection makes it an interesting-looking movie though. I am not one of these Whedon fanatics (he is not God folks!), but I do have respect for the guy's work.\n22) The Descendants - Alexander Payne has been one of those filmmakers who have sort of flown just below the radar of the hypemongers and general public both. With an albeit small array of quality work behind him - Citizen Ruth, Election, About Schmidt and Sideways - Payne has been quietly amassing an impressively esoteric, yet quite defining oeuvre. Perhaps Payne has yet to give us his masterpiece (some directors, even the better ones, sometimes just do not have such in them) though Sideways has come closest in a classical kind of way, and perhaps this new film is not it either (who knows) but hopefully it will help him to keep amassing that impressively esoteric, yet quite defining oeuvre - quietly or not.\n21) Bernie - When it comes to Richard Linklater films, one cannot help but be impressed by such works as Dazed & Confused, Waking Life and Before Sunrise and Sunset both, but as of late, the once promising auteur seems to be slipping with such films as School of Rock and The Bad News BearsMe & Orson Welles is an enjoyable film, though still not up to the Linklater of past days). There is still hope though, even if Jack Black is involved, but I still do not rank this one in the top twenty because of a slipping of artistic genius in its director. (granted, his most recent film,\n20) Midnight in Paris - Woody Allen is back, and this time his traveling show is moving onto the city of lights. After a serious drop in quality, Allen left his beloved New York and moved his wares to the UK (Match Point) and Spain (Vicky Cristina Barcelona) and now, ever forward, onto Paris. His post NYC films have been a mixed blessing (I still long for the Woody of the late seventies thru the early nineties - his golden period if you will) so you never know quite what you are going to get. Here's hoping we get a Match Point or another Vicky, and not something more akin to last year's You Will Meet a Tall Dark Yada Yada Yada.\n19) My Week With Marilyn - It comes with an untested director (having only Brit TV under his belt) and is one of those dreaded biopics, but seeing Kenneth Branagh as Sir Lawrence Olivier, Julia Ormond as Vivian Leigh and (the capper to them all) Michelle Williams as the titular blonde bombshell herself - and from what I can tell, she (of course) looks gorgeous - is well worth the anticipation (at least I hope so).\n18) Source Code - When I first saw the trailer for this film, I thought it had some interesting ideas, sort of Inception meets The Matrix, but when I saw that Duncan Jones' name was attached as the director (a thing I completely missed when I first watched the trailer!) I got much more excited. If it has the moody qualities of Jones' Moon, it should be a winner.\n17) Shame - A film directed by Hunger director Steve McQueen (no relation!) and starring Michael Fassbender (also of Hunger fame, as well as Fish Tank and Inglourious Basterds) as a sexual compulsive and Carey Mulligan as his little sister would of course make this list. That's all I have to say about that - for now.\n16) Super 8 - J.J. Abrams has been keeping the film's premise under tight wraps (under lock and key is probably a bit more apt) but judging from the unique, though unfulfilling in the end Cloverfield and me being one of those Trekkers from long ago who just loved Abrams' Star Trek reboot, I do have some rather hopeful high hopes for this one - at least enough to place it at number sixteen.\n15) Cowboys & Aliens - Han Solo and James Bond fighting aliens in the old west - how could this not be the coolest fucking movie of all-time!? Seriously though, we get Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig in an old west-set sci-fi adventure film, directed by the guy who gave us the first Iron Man movie (and the second one, but let's not mention that). This is one of several films based on comics and/or graphic novels to make this list, which once again, shows my inner geek coming through with glaring audacity.\n14) The Skin That I Inhabit - Pedro Almodovar is back with a rape and revenge scenario starring Antonio Banderas as a plastic surgeon hunting down the men who raped his daughter, and with Almodovar being one of the most visually enigmatic directors working today (think Nick Ray crossed with The Archers and then covered with a rich gooey topping of a vividly homosexual Hitchcock), I am sure we are in for quite the colourful film. Quite indeed.\n13) A Dangerous Method - Here is what we get with A Dangerous Method - Viggo Mortensen as Sigmund Freud and Michael Fassbender as Carl Jung. What more could one ask for? How about David Cronenberg as director? Hells yeah! I have not seen the play the film is based on, but judging from what I know of Cronenberg, I envision something akin to Chris Nolan's The Prestige, but darker and more disturbing in that way that only Cronenberg can disturb us. Whether we will see another all-nude knife fight as Viggo gave us in Cronenberg's Eastern Promises, I do not know though.\n12) Hanna - Saoirse Ronan as a lean mean fourteen-year-old killing machine. This looks like a very interesting film (visually I know it will succeed considering Joe Wright's weaving, panoramic directorial style) and the creepily lovely little Ms. Ronan just adds to the strange interest I have in said film.\n11) The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo - The only reason this film (and I am assuming the sequels as well) is because American audiences refuse to watch subtitled films. There is nothing wrong with the original Swedish version (though I did not go all gaga like many, and I think the sequels were considerably lesser, comparatively speaking) but since the Swedish films only did lackluster business in the multiplexes (though they did fantastic biz at arthouses) Hollywood thinks it needs to redo the foreign film (along with pretty much every other well-received foreign film out there) for audiences who cannot read a movie. Then again, unnecessary or not, David Fincher is at the helm so that does give us something to hope for, even if there is no way Hollywood producers will allow the brutality necessary to make the film(s) properly.\n10) Sucker Punch - Blend the visual audacity of Zack Snyder's 300 (and ugly-sexy middle finger to the audience, but in the most alluring way) with the school-girl fetish of the average male and combine these things into some sort of kick-ass battle royale in an alternate dream reality full of sword-wielding, scantily clad asylum girls with names like Rocket, Blondie, Amber, Sweet Pea and Baby Doll, and you get Sucker Punch. This will have to be seen to be sure - it could go either way (the good of the wrongly oft-maligned Watchmen or the bad of the inexplicably bad-for-bad's-sake 300) - but at this point it cracks the top ten.\n9) Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy - Thomas Alfredson, the director of the sublime Swedish vampire movie Let the Right One In, is coming to English speaking cinema with this UK-funded new version of the John le Carre espionage novel. Why Hollywood didn't get him to remake his own film instead of having Matt Reeves do it and (for the most part - actors aside) give it a lesser mirror image, I do not know (well, I do know, but for the sake of argument, yada yada yada) but this could be a good way to introduce this filmmaker to the so-called West.\n8) On the Road - How many years has one director or another, one producer or another, been trying to adapt Kerouac's Beat classic for the big screen? A Lot, that's how many. Now finally it comes to said big screen under the kino-eye helmsmanship of Brazilian auteur Walter Salles, the man who gave us Che before Soderbergh took him over in more epic scale. A pair of relative unknowns headline the cast (the man who played Ian Curtis in Control is playing Jack's alter-ego Sal Paradise) and we also get Viggo Mortensen as Old Bull Lee, the man based on Old Bill Burroughs. Now let's hope all these many years have been worth the wait to see this iconic Benzedrine-fueled novel on the big screen.\n7) Haywire & Contagion - a pair of films from the ever-prolific Steven Soderbergh (and the reasoning behind the parenthetical 36 in the blog post title), one an action-thriller involving the CDC (a sort of Outbreak redux, but hopefully much much much better) and the other a straight-up Black-Ops action movie. Soderbergh has always been a director who could straddle the fence between indie arthouse fare and star-studded Hollywood blockbustery type things. Here, Contagion seems to be the latter, starring Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow and the lovely Marion Cotillard and Haywire, though seeming kinda Hollywoody in its own way, stars the \"lesser\" star power of Ewan MacGregor, Michael Douglas and Michael Fassbender (again!!!) and is therefore the more arthouse pick - if there even is one here. Actually, the Soderbergh I am most looking forward to is his upcoming Liberace biopic (I know, biopic...ughhh) starring the aforementioned Mr. Douglas in the title role - but alas, that is a movie for my 2012 list.\n6) Meek's Cutoff - My love of Kelly Reichardt's slow, meandering sublime cinema (Old Joy, Wendy and Lucy), the Western genre, of which this seems to be part of, and of anything whatsoever involving the sublime Michelle Williams (if I had such a thing as a cinematic dreamgirl, and who doesn't, it would most surely be Ms. Williams) puts this film pretty high on my list. I unfortunately missed this film at the NYFF, and am still beating myself up over it.\n5) The Turin Horse - Bela Tarr has always been an auteur of great procrastination, not only in the slow slow slow moving of his camera and characters both, but also in his production and distribution of his usually epic-length films, which means this film may not see US screens (or any screens for that matter) in 2011. Nevertheless, here it is in the top five. The plot, you ask? From IMDb, one can glean this synopsis: 1889. German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche witnessed the whipping of a horse while traveling in Turin, Italy. He tossed his arms around the horse's neck to protect it then collapsed to the ground. In less than one month, Nietzsche would be diagnosed with a serious mental illness that would make him bed-ridden and speechless for the next eleven years until his death. But whatever did happen to the horse? This film follows up this question in a fictionalized story of what occurred. Does anything else need be said? Well, I suppose one can mention that Tarr claims this is his final film as a director, but the man says a lot of shit, so who knows.\n4) Hugo Cabret - Martin Scorsese's latest is based on a graphic novel (again!) set in 1930's Paris, and shot in 3D (Scorsese does like to use every possible cinematic contraption he can get his hands on and three dimensional photography is his latest dalliance) and stars Jude Law, Emily Mortimer, Christopher Lee, Ben Kingsley, Sacha Baron Cohen and the cute but dangerous teen spitfire Chloe Moretz (her creepy adult-like demeanor, hidden away in the crooked smile of a thirteen year old makes one assume her one of the successors of Dakota Fanning). I am guessing this film will not live up to the majority of Scorsese's oeuvre, which is a shame considering Shutter Island took him back nearer the top than he had been in a while, but a unique 3D experience I am sure it will be.\n3) The Tree of Life - Five films in a thirty-eight year career doesn't exactly make Terrence Malick the most prolific of filmmakers, but it does make it all that more important that we get everything we can out of each of his five (so far) films, because one is never quite sure when another might come along. This one, from what I can tell, has the distinction of having Sean Penn playing the child of Brad Pitt. From the trailer it doesn't seem your typical Malick (if a man with five films in nearly forty years can have a typical anything) but it does look gorgeous, if nothing more - but I do think there will be much much more.\n2) Melancholia - The provocateur is back (my wife and I have a love/hate relationship with the acidic auteur - she hates him and I love him) and he's bringing Charlotte Gainsbourg back with him. Danish bad boy Lars von Trier hands us a film nobody seems to know anything whatsoever about. Trier is keeping quite the tight lip on this one, but he has pronounced no more happy endings. Yeah, because he is so well known for his happy endings that he needs to say he won't do any more!? I can't remember one at all. For Christ's sake, the man hanged poor Bjork at the end of Dancer in the Dark, and that is probably his most upbeat ending of them all.\n1) The Grandmasters - And the number one spot rightfully, and quite inevitably, belongs to my favourite working director. Wong Kar Wai's latest film is the story of the man who taught Bruce Lee everything he ever knew, which means it is a martial arts movie from the man who can paint the most luscious of designs on the canvas of the big screen (I know, I am spilling over with hyperbole, but I just cannot help it when it comes to Wong and his cinema). Whether this film makes it to US screens in 2011 is probably a pretty valid question, but until it does, it is number one - with a bullet.\nAs I more than alluded to in several paragraphs above, several of these films may not actually make their way to US movie screens in the next calendar year (Lars von Trier, Bela Tarr and Wong Kar Wai are all quite notorious for delays in their production and/or distribution schedules) but here is hoping.\nI would also like to mention one other very very highly anticipated movie coming out in 2011. Actually it is a mini-series on HBO. It is the Todd Haynes directed version of Mildred Pierce, starring Kate Winslet in the role originally made famous by Joan Crawford. I leave it off the list since it is a TV, not a theatrical release, but I suppose one could say it is the 37th on the list.\nLabels: 2011, David Fincher, Miscellania, Terrence Malick, Woody Allen",

        "raw_content": "I have been waiting years to use that title.\nSo an interesting thing happened yesterday. There were not two, not three but four \"Tolkien and D&D\" posts made to the blogs I read all within hours of each other. I have no reason to assume the author's all planned this, but if you are a fan of Tolkien, Lord of the Rings and D&D then it was a great day of reading.\nTolkien and D&D have had a relationship for as long as there have been a D&D. While one only needs to look to Halflings for this there are plenty of other examples including the obvious elf and orc ones. There are also the Balors and Treants or as they appeared in the earliest edition, Balrogs and Ents.\nWhile it was politic for a while to dismiss the effect Tolkien had on D&D, no one really tow's that line anymore. Gary even rather famously distanced himself from it and his followers likewise took the same point of view.\nThese next four bloggers are not of that frame of mind.\nTim Shorts of +Gothridge Manor starts us out in Musings from a Man Playing Two Middle Earth Games. Tim talks about one of our other bloggers, Rob Conley, and his love for Tolkien. We will get to him in a bit. His point of view comes from that of the casual Tolkien fan, but also as someone that is enjoying both games he is in. Immersion seems to be the key for Tim. The time taken for the adventure feels different for Middle Earth than say D&D. The pacing is key.\n+Jonathan Hicks over at Farsight Blogger discusses playing two other Middle Earth games as a self-described big fan in J.R.R. Tolkien and my roleplaying hobby. His discussion centers around the classic Iron Crown Enterprises Middle-Earth Roleplaying game (of which I was also a big fan) and the later The Decipher Lord of the Rings roleplaying game using the CODA system. Now for me both systems had their issues, but their fluff was top notch. Hicks' post is a great narrative of games that \"almost were\" and some of the issues of playing in Tolkien's world. Or at least the issues of one GM in particular. I have to largely agree with his post. Tolkien's world(s) are huge and detailed, but sometimes that detail works against you.\n+Rob Conley over at Bat in the Attic follows this up with his Why Middle Earth has been working for me. It is a follow-up to Tim Short's post above but also works as follow up to Hicks. Rob, also a self-professed big fan, discusses his issues with the MERP system (which I largely agree with) and his enjoyment of the newer Adventures in Middle Earth from Cubicle 7 that uses D&D5 as a base. The time period of the C7 games works well for Rob; between the battle of Five Armies and the War of the Ring. So there is plenty of reasons (and reasoning) for young hobbits to want to go on adventures. There is also the rise in Mordor at this point and the waning influence of the elves.\nLater 3rd Age Middle Earth is a time of war, but also of adventure. Compare this to the description that Hicks gives of his Star Wars game (used by him for comparison) the characters don't have to be in some strange part of the world (or galaxy) they can be in the thick of it.\nFinally, we get a long post from +Jason Vey over at the Wasted Lands, is sometimes blog about his campaign. Jason is a huge fan of Tolkien. His post, Fellowship of the Ring: Lord of the Rings and Campaign Building, Part One, deals with as he puts it, Lord of the Rings: A Master Class in Campaign Building. In this he builds a \"Fellowship of the Ring\" campaign using the book (not the movie) as a guide. I only point out book vs. movie here since some of the differences play into the campaign building. Jason takes a very old-school rule specific look at building a campaign based on the Lord of the Rings model. This is a subtle difference than the posts above which deal with playing in Lord of the Rings world. If Jason's approach could be described in a phrase it is getting back to the roots. The roots of both D&D (structure and rules) and of Tolkien (narrative). It is not explicitly said, but the idea I get is that this is designed with OD&D in mind. Indeed, Jason and I have talked about how if either of us were to run a Middle Earth game it would need to be using OD&D. I suppose that Swords & Wizardry would also work, but it does not have the gravitas that OD&D has. Plus I happen to know that Jason has copies of the LBB that still have \"Ents\", \"Hobbits\" and \"Balrogs\" in them, so there is that.\nThese posts have me thinking about trying a Middle Earth game. Something I have wanted to try since discovering D&D and Hobbit right around the same time. I'd love to do it with OD&D or maybe B/X D&D, but it has to be D&D proper. I would, naturally need to remove some classes, but otherwise I think it would be great fun.\nLinks (to current RPGs)\nAdventures in Middle-earth Loremaster's Guide\nLabels: blogs, Middle-Earth\nGothridge Manor said...\nVery cool I hadn't realized there were so many. Thanks for putting them on one place.\nJason Vey said...\nI published Part 2 of my Lord of the Rings examination, The Two Towers, yesterday!\nhttp://wastedlandsfantasy.blogspot.com/2018/01/the-two-towers-lord-of-rings-and.html\nJonathan Hicks said...\nReally good to read other blogger's takes on this.

        "title": "Dissecting the Talbert Resolution, Part 3",
        "raw_content": "Dissecting the Talbert Resolution, Part 3\nThis post is part 3 of my analysis of the Talbert complaint resolution. You can read part 1 HERE and part 2 HERE. In this post, I am outlining what the implications of this agreement are for United Methodists and our denomination.\nSo where does the Talbert resolution leave us? I find nothing in the agreement that upholds or reinforces the church\u2019s current position on marriage or on accountability to our covenant. Instead, this agreement represents a clear victory for those who are bound to overturn our church\u2019s current position, if not by the legislative process, then by the process of continuing disobedience.\nBishop Talbert has experienced no negative consequences for not only advocating such, but actually violating his vows of ordination and consecration. There is no incentive in this agreement for Bishop Talbert or any other clergyperson to bring their actions into compliance with the Book of Discipline.\nThis agreement further weakens the accountability process for clergy. Bishops who process complaints against clergy who perform same-sex services will be working even more against the tide of opinion by leaders that there should be no more trials.\nIn combination with several recent Judicial Council decisions, this agreement makes plain the fact that it is no longer possible to hold bishops accountable to the Discipline. The process for handling complaints against bishops needs radical reform. We should stop having bishops be responsible for holding other bishops accountable, since we have seen that such a process does not work. We must also remove accountability from the jurisdictional or central conference level and grant it to the general church level. Proposals will come to the 2016 General Conference to institute a global committee on investigation, made up of laity and pastors from the worldwide church, to handle complaints against bishops and ensure they are accountable to the Discipline.\nThis agreement is a watershed moment in the life of the church because it publicly illustrates at the highest level that there is a segment of the church\u2019s leadership who have resolved not to be bound by the requirements of our commonly arrived at standards of faith and practice. The lesson is that there is no way for the church to enforce the Discipline. There is now very little cost for disobedience, at least in some parts of the country. We cannot play by two sets of rules, one for progressives who wish to operate in a manner contrary to the sense of General Conference, and one for traditionalists who wish to honor the process of our polity as determined by General Conference. If progressives are allowed to violate the Discipline with impunity, then the same right should be given to traditionalists. Increasingly, traditionalists are also going to adopt that approach, particularly with respect to the payment of apportionments.\nThe resulting chaos and disdain for discipline that is growing in our church is simply the result of two churches trying to pretend they are one. The disregard for General Conference as the representative decision-making body of our church and the ineffectiveness of the leadership of many of our bishops (and the Council of Bishops) is killing our church.\nThere are essentially two ways for our church to become one again. First, the General Conference can make reforms to the system to ensure that all United Methodist clergy and bishops will maintain their actions within the parameters set by General Conference. This will undoubtedly cause some progressives who cannot do so to leave the UM Church. Second, if General Conference does not take action, evangelicals and traditionalists will no longer be able to support and participate in a denomination that intentionally allows its leaders to encourage or engage in what the Bible calls sinful behavior. Indeed, many evangelical laypersons and some clergy have already left the UM Church, and many more will follow. It is no longer a viable alternative for us to live together under two different sets of beliefs and their resulting rules.\nEvangelicals were not under the illusion that Bishop Talbert would be defrocked over his performing a same-sex union in another bishop\u2019s territory. But it was reasonable for us to expect some modicum of accountability, or at least an acknowledgement of violating the Discipline and a commitment not to do so again. Instead, this agreement gives us nothing. It demonstrates that \u201cthe emperor has no clothes;\u201d the church has no power to enforce its standards. The supreme law of the church is no longer the Discipline or General Conference; it is individual conscience. Personal judgment is now the ultimate arbiter of our faith and practice. We are no longer a connectional church, nor even a congregational one, but an individualistic one. Every person is now clamoring to do \u201cwhat is right in his/her own eyes.\u201d\nThe outcome of this case has pounded another nail in the coffin of The United Methodist Church as a body unified in mission and ministry. The church is already divided. All that is left is for us to acknowledge that reality.\nThe trouble is that both of your \u201cways for our church to become one again\u201d hinge on the May 2016 General Conference. That\u2019s too late. The denomination will be defunct by then as congregants on both sides of the issue continue to withhold donations and leave the Church.\nI agree with Rick. May 2016 will be too late. In fact, my wife and I have already left the church where we were members for the last 16 years. We have been members of a United Methodist church for over thirty years and leaving was an extremely difficult decision. There are many issues that we disagree with and we now have a pastor in her second full year who seems to be in complete agreement with the progressive element of in UMC..\nWe have seen a steady decline in attendance and giving the longer she is here. An already fragile situation got even worse in 2014 as we completed a several week study of the Methodist social principles. During that course, there came a time when the Book of Discipline was presented as the official word for the church and our pastor informed us that it was NOT official. That started a process where the more progressive part of our church began to wield more power.\nBecause the direction of both our congregation and the United Methodist church in general is moving away from us, we found it necessary to go elsewhere.\nI say that a real, serious, and realistic effort should now be underway by the orthodox leaders of the UMC to negotiate a merger with the Wesleyan Church. This merged church would be a perfect generational bridging arrangement. Many orthodox Methodist congregations are aging, most growing Wesleyan congregations are young. The merging of these resources could see a church that could explode worldwide in growth and vitality. It would seem that pension and health benefits could actually be strengthened with such a merger.\nIt is time for restructuring, beginning with the merger of the orthodox Methodish Church with the Wewseyan Church, and adding any other Wesleyan remnants and independent churches that wish to join thus resulting in the new for the 21st century Wesleyan Methodist Church.\nLet\u2019s get this done.\nA view from the pew from one who has been Methodist from the cradle and hopes to stay one until the grave: TD has a point in merging with the Wesleyan Church; I have spent some time following them as a denomination and am impressed.\nThe reality is, no organization can survive without a consensus as to why it is in existence, and in the case of a church, what unique contribution it has to make to the Christian landscape. No such consensus exists within the United Methodist Church; people are talking and peddling apples and oranges to each other. I recently read a response to an article written by Ben Witherington of Asbury Seminary in which a UMC pastor firmly stated that he flat out did not understand where traditionalists got the idea that General Conference had the final say. He went on to say that what he was taught in seminary and what was reinforced by his conference was that the authority resided in the \u201congoing discussion\u201d. Talk about apples and oranges\u2026\nThe UMC thrived when the Discipline was the statement of who we are as Methodists and this is what we believe and it was small enough that EVERYBODY had one. It kept everybody on the \u201csame page\u201d so to speak. I own 4 of them from the late 1800\u2019s to 1926. Since the most recent one has my maternal great grandmother\u2019s name in it and there are none more recent with my mother\u2019s name\u2013who was born in 1923\u2013we are reaping the harvest of going way too long without clearly stating this is who we are as Christians with a Wesleyan accent and this is what we believe.\nAmen to this. The Discipline is a huge, unwieldy thing that hardly anyone pays attention to anymore. I actually love the BOD but there is a lot of redundant language in certain parts of it that I assume were added later. Honestly, we all probably need a fresh start with a simple Discipline that clearly states our mission, method, and doctrine, This bloated mess we have right now is unsustainable and not bearing any good fruit. I don\u2019t know what\u2019s going to happen in the UMC in the future but I do know for certain that what\u2019s going on right now is not going to last nor should it.\nYou list two alternatives for our church to become one. A third alternative is the two jurisdiction proposal set forth by Chris Ritter. I thought that some evangelical leaders from Good News were amenable to that \u2018middle road\u2019 solution. I thought that Rob Renfroe said that the Ritter plan is a way \u201cto do something no other denomination has done. We have a chance to write a different narrative.\u201d\nMike, I think there are many evangelicals who could endorse the two jurisdiction solution. However, we have yet to hear from leaders on the progressive side who would likewise endorse it. Without partners, we cannot dance.\nFrom what I have read about a \u201ctwo jurisdictional solution\u201d , I can see this resulting in nothing but open war across the entire church. The only reason that church wide war has not yet happened is that local congregations have, generally, not been forced to face and deal with this schism. Most local congregations have been shielded from this \u2014 mostly by their local pastors who have not been made to deal with this at the local church level. This war would not end until the entire church is destroyed. No one would benefit except Satan.\nI really hope and pray that orthodox Methodists, including Good News, is not in favor of this \u201cway forward\u201d. It is so loaded with pitfalls, problems, and eventual chaos as to render it insane.\nOrthodox Methodists need to be working with the Wesleyan Church at this moment to create a new 21st century Wesleyan Methodist Church.\nYou make some good points. However, most local churches would still not have to take any formal action under the \u201ctwo jurisdiction solution,\u201d as they would be in agreement with the direction their annual conference takes. Once a congregation made an initial decision, they would face a higher bar to change it in the future, which would discourage congregations from revisiting their choice.\nWorking with the Wesleyan Church is certainly a possibility, but that would also require congregations being forced to face this issue. Congregations would need to act to withdraw from the UMC and unite with the Wesleyan Church. So I am not sure this would be any better than the jurisdictional solution. There are cultural differences between the two denominations that might make this option less attractive. It would also abandon our United Methodist brothers and sisters in Africa and the other central conferences. If only ten percent of UM members moved over to the Wesleyan Church, that number (780,000) is nearly twice the current membership of the Wesleyan Church (about 480,000). We would overwhelm them, which they might not appreciate.\nI continue to believe that amicable separation is the best option for resolving this conflict. If that is not possible, the two jurisdiction option brings us many of the same benefits (but not all). It\u2019s something I could live with. There is no way of adequately addressing this crisis without involving local church members. Hiding our heads in the sand is no longer an option.\nYou\u2019re right. This is coming home. My church, like many others I suspect, has been shielded from this all these years \u2014 thanks to the Annual Conference and General Conference serving as buffers \u2014 not to mention the local pastors doing their dead level best to keep this outside their local congregations. It is actually extra ordinary how successful this \u201chiding of heads in the sand\u201d has been in an attempt to move past this potential schism. Looks like the clock is finally running our on this 40+ year old game, though. I DO NOT want to have this discussion, debate, argument, conflict in my church. But, it looks like it could be just around the corner. It will drive many more off. It will hurt many. It will be devastating. Elderly members will be harmed the most. Liberals have placed the church in this awful schism and show no signs of easing up \u2014 as evidenced most recently by this Talbert case. Their plan is to win by disobedience, defiance, attrition, deception, passive aggressive tactics, and outright bullying and intimidation when necessary. To them the ends justify the means even if there is no church left to practice their new age prophetic religion.\nWell, General Conference 2016 is what many of us are waiting on in order to make our final decisions. It is my prayer, and that of many, many more I suspect, that the traditional/orthodox forces in our church are currently devising a plan and will work that plan with surgical precision at General Conference 2016 in order to save our church.\nA question on the Bishop Talbert case: Why did Bishop Wallace-Padgett sign this \u201cjust resolution\u201d? Has she since offered any comments or commentary on this case? It would seem that she would be under rather intense pressure to explain her position on this to her conference.\nThe leadership of the UMC at the highest level is showing it\u2019s true colors. They will take care of their own. They have broken covenant with the vows they made at their ordinations in front of God. Their authority is from human beings and not from God.\nJeremiah 6:14 \u201cThey dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. \u2018Peace, peace,\u2019 they say, when there is no peace.\u201d\nJeremiah 8:11\u2033They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. \u201cPeace, peace,\u201d they say, when there is no peace.\u201d",

        "title": "3 Reasons Why Copper Pipes Are Still The Best Choice - when to call it quits on your old front door",
        "raw_content": "If you're getting ready to replace the pipes in your home, you may be overwhelmed with all of the choices that you have when it comes to pipe material. There are PVC pipes, PEX pipes, HDPE pipes, and of course, the old stand-by, copper. Deciding which pipes are best for your home can seem challenging at first. However, there is one choice that stands out from the crowd. If you take a good look at the benefits of copper pipes, you'll see why they're still the best choice out of all the new and old options for your home plumbing system. Here are some facts that will help you make your decision.\nCopper is Durable\nCopper pipes can be found all throughout the history of plumbing. Archeologists have found copper water pipes in ruins that date back to 4000 B.C. There's a good reason why people have been using copper pipes to carry water ever since they thought of using pipes at all: copper is durable. If copper pipes could stand up to primitive conditions in 4000 B.C., they can certainly hold up well in your much more modern home.\nCopper pipes can last up to 50 years, and even longer in some cases. That means that there's a good chance that if you replace your pipes with copper now, you may not ever have to do it again. Copper pipes will also make a good selling point if you ever decide to sell your home, because prospective buyers will know that they probably won't have to worry about replacing the pipes anytime soon either. Because copper tends to resist deterioration as it gets older, you won't have as much worry about lose fittings or leaky pipes along the way.\nCopper is Safe\nOne concern that many homeowners have when it comes to metal pipes is the possibility of rust and corrosion. It's definitely disturbing to think of pouring a glass of water and winding up with bits of metal and rust in your glass! However, copper has an advantage over other types of metal in that it resists corrosion.\nThat means that you don't have to worry about what debris and materials your glass of water might have picked up from your pipes. The water in your glass, as well as the water in your shower, your washing machine, and your dishwasher, will be just as clean as it was before it entered your pipes. If you have health and safety concerns when it comes to metal, copper is the metal that you want for your home plumbing system.\nCopper is Environmentally Friendly\nMany homeowners prefer to have a home that's as green and environmentally friendly as possible. You may be wondering how copper fits into your plans to keep your home eco-friendly. If so, you'll be happy to know that copper is a very environmentally friendly material. Partly, this is because it lasts so long. Using a very durable material like copper reduces your impact on the environment, simply because you're not going to be constantly replacing parts.\nHowever, copper has another advantage \u2013 it's 100% recyclable. When the time comes for your copper pipes to be replaced, there's no need for them to sit in a landfill taking up space. Instead, they'll be melted down and remade into new copper pipes that will be installed in another home. Chances are that the pipes your plumber will install in your home will be made from recycled copper as well. Coppers's recyclability makes it a great choice for environmentally conscious homeowners.\nTalk to your plumber about your plumbing pipe choices, and ask if copper pipes are right for your home. You'll be thrilled with your long-lasting, safe, and eco-friendly plumbing system.\nClick here to continue reading more and plumbing options.",

        "raw_content": "Phone : 011 434402344\nAkshardham or Swaminarayan Akshardham complex is a Hindu mandir, and a spiritual-cultural campus in New Delhi, India. Also referred to as Delhi Akshardhamor Swaminarayan Akshardham, the complex displays millennia of traditional Hindu and Indian culture, spirituality, and architecture. It is the largest Hindu temple after the Akshardham in Gandhinagar both inspired and developed by Pramukh Swami Maharaj, the spiritual head of the Bochasawasi Shri Ashakar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha, whose 3,000 volunteers helped 7,000 artisans construct the temple.\nThe temple, which attracts approximately 70 percent of all tourists who visit Delhi, was officially opened on 6 November 2005 by Dr. A.P.J.Abdul Kalam. It sits near the banks of the Yamuna adjacent to the 2010 Commonwealth Games village in eastern New Delhi. The temple, at the center of the complex, was built according to theVasti shatra and Pancharatra shastra .\nThe complex features an Abhisheka Mandap, Sahaj Anand water show, a thematic garden and three exhibitions namely Sahajanand Darshan (Hall of Values), Neelkanth Darshan (an IMAX film on the early life of Swaminarayan as the teenage yogi, Neelkanth), and Sanskruti Darshan (cultural boat ride). According to Swaminarayan Hinduism, the word Akshardham means the abode of God and believed by followers as a temporal home of God on earth.\nThe main attraction of the Swaminarayan Akshardham complex is the Akshardham Mandir. It rises 141-foot (43 m) high, spans 316-foot (96 m) wide, and extends 356-foot (109 m) long. It is intricately carved with flora, fauna, dancers, musicians, and deities.\nIt is entirely constructed from Rajasthani pink sandstone and Italian Carrara marble. Based on traditional Hindu architectural guidelines (Shilpa shastras) on maximum temple life span, it makes no use of ferrous metal. Thus, it has no support from steel or concrete.\nThe mandir also consists of 234 ornately carved pillars, nine domes, and 20,000 murtis of sadhus, devotees, and acharyas. The mandir also features the Gajendra Pith at its base, a plinth paying tribute to the elephant for its importance in Hindu culture and India\u2019s history. It contains 148 life sized elephants in total weighing a total of 3000 tons.\nUnder the temple\u2019s central dome lies the 11-foot (3.4m) high murti of Swaminarayan seated in abhayamudra to whom the temple is dedicated. Swaminarayan is surrounded by images of the faith\u2019s lineage of Gurus depicted either in a devotional posture or in a posture of service. Each murti is made of paanch dhaatu or five metals in accordance to Hindu tradition. The temple also houses the murtis of Sita Ram, Radha Krishna, Shiv Parvati, and Laksmi Narayan.\nSahajanand Darshan [Hall of Values] The Hall of Values features lifelike robotics and dioramas which display incidents from Swaminarayan\u2019s life, portraying his message about the importance of peace, harmony, humility, service to others and devotion to God. Set in 18th century India, the audience experiences eternal messages gleaned from ancient Hindu culture such as non-violence, vegetarianism, perseverance, prayers, morality, and family harmony through 15 3-D dioramas which make use of state of the art robotics, fibre optics, light and sound effects, dialogues, and music. The hall also features the world\u2019s smallest animatronic robot in the form of Ghanshyam Maharaj, the child form of Swaminarayan\nNilkanth Darshan [Theatre]\nThe theatre houses Delhi\u2019s first and only large format screen, measuring 85-foot (26 m) by 65-foot (20 m). The theatre shows a 40-minute film specially commissioned for the complex, Neelkanth Yatra, to recount a seven-year pilgrimage made by Swaminarayan made during his teenage years throughout India. A 27-foot (8.2 m) tall bronze murti of Neelkanth Varni is located outside the theatre.\nSanskruti Vihar [Boat Ride]\nThe Boat Ride is a 15-minute journey through 10,000 years of India\u2019s glorious heritage, using life size figures and robotics to depict life in Vedic India, from family life to bazaars and teaching. It also shows the contributions of Vedic Indians to various fields such as science, astronomy, arts, literature, yoga, mathematics, etc. by eminent persons.\nKnown as the Yagnapurush Kund, it is India\u2019s largest step well. It features a very large series of steps down to a traditional Yagna kund. During the day, these steps provide rest for the visitors to the complex and at night, a musical fountain show representing the circle of life is played to an audience which is seated on the same steps. The fountain measures 300 feet (91 m) by 300 feet (91 m) with 2,870 steps and 108 small shrines. In its center lies an eight-petaled lotus shaped yagna kund designed according to the Jayaakhya Samhita of the Panchratra shastra\nhttps://goo.gl/tvCJec\nLocation : Banks of River Yamuna in East Delhi\nVisiting Hours : 9.00 AM to 6.30 PM (Tuesday \u2013 Sunday).

        "title": "Tulisan Murtad: Talking to the Taliban: Negotiate with infidels?",
        "raw_content": "After 12 years of fighting, the Taliban in Afghanistan have announced they are ready to talk peace with the United States. The Taliban opened a political office in Qatar. The talks will take place there, but without the Afghan government, which is refusing to take part in the \u201cpeace\u201d talks.\nPresident Obama says there will be \u201ca lot of bumps in the road\u201d during the talks. More like sinkholes. The history of talks with Middle East terrorist groups, apparently, has taught us little. It appears such groups use talks like these to mostly re-arm and/or advance their cause until they can either get back to the killing field or enforce their political and religious will on the masses.\nWhat is there to talk about with the Taliban? How can any \u201cinfidel\u201d Western diplomat believe anything they say about \u201cpeace,\u201d since their definition of the word is likely much different than ours? The Koran teaches that it\u2019s permitted to lie to infidels in order to achieve Islamic goals. It\u2019s called \u201cAl-taqiyya.\u201d\n\u201cTaqiyya (deception) is of fundamental importance in Islam,\u201d writes Raymond Ibrahim for the Middle East Forum. \u201cPractically every Islamic sect agrees to it and practices it. We can go so far as to say that the practice of taqiyya is mainstream in Islam, and that those few sects not practicing it diverge from the mainstream. \u2026 Taqiyya is very prevalent in Islamic politics, especially in the modern era.\u201d (http://bit.ly/11t39u6.)\nBefore 9/11, I attended an event in New York hosted by some female celebrities who wished to draw attention to the plight of Afghan women. I heard stories from female doctors and teachers about how the Taliban had made women\u2019s lives miserable. They were not permitted to leave the house, unless accompanied by a male relative. A male relative had to deposit their bus fare in the coin box. Women were banned from working in public places. Women had to wear a burqa if they went outside and the windows in their homes had to be covered so no one could see inside. Girls and women were not allowed to attend publicly funded schools.\nThat is only a partial list of restrictions. According to various reports, there are others: Women are denied access to basic health care, but when they do get it, they cannot be treated by male doctors (this restriction extends to children); no exposed ankles, no laughing loudly or wearing shoes that make noise when they walk, no white socks, no makeup or nail polish. Women cannot use public taxis without being accompanied by male relatives and they must use special female-only buses whose windows are draped with curtains so no one on the street can see the passengers. Failing to adhere to these rules leads to public beatings, whippings, verbal abuse and even death.\nThere\u2019s more, but I don\u2019t have the space. According to RAWA, the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan, the Taliban has also issued a general ban \u2014 for both men and women \u2014 on listening to music, watching movies, television and videos or celebrating the traditional new year. If you were given a non-Islamic name, you have to change it to an Islamic one. Certain games are banned, including kite flying. \u201cNon-Muslim minorities must wear a badge or stitch a yellow cloth onto their clothing to differentiate them from the majority Muslim population,\u201d writes RAWA. Now what does that remind you of?\nIf the Taliban view things like exposed ankles and white socks as horrors offensive to their god, how do so-called infidels, whom they consider worthy of death, negotiate with them? If such twisted ideas are accepted as doctrine, what could the Taliban possibly give up in negotiations \u2026 and in exchange for what? Furthermore, if we reach an agreement with them, how will we know they\u2019re even telling the truth?",

I'm starting to feel more and more comfortable, so I envision the next two years getting better and better heading into Korea and Tokyo,\" he added.\nHe was happy with his time in Jakarta, which was the fifth fastest of the year and bettered his gold-winning 51.76 at the 2014 Asian Games, but felt it was \"just another stepping stone\" towards his ultimate goal.\n\"You build on it each meet, each year and you finally get to the Olympics,\" he said. \"This is one of the building years to get to do what I want to do in Tokyo. Are things going according to plan? Yes, I'd say so. I'm happy with where I'm at. I'm definitely in a lot better shape than I was last year. Hopefully I can keep building on that.\"\nAnd if he needs motivation, Schooling says criticism helps.\n\"I think criticism is good,\" he said. \"If everyone's on your side, praising you, it might get to your head. But I think this is a great check and balance for me.\n\"(I've) always proven my critics wrong. It gives me more motivation to go to practice, to race harder, so I can prove people wrong.\"",

But learning to recognize\nGod's voice and the many ways in which He speaks is vital for following His plan. In HOW TO\nHEAR FROM GOD, Joyce Meyer shows readers that God reaches out to people every day,\nseeking a partnership with them to offer guidance and love. She reveals the ways in which God\ndelivers His word and the benefits of asking God for the sensitivity to hear His voice. Joyce asks\nthe question, \"Are you listening?\" and shares how to do just that.",

Hospitals are falling apart, doctors have no pay and many are going to work in Rwanda. Yes, many Ugandan doctors are finding jobs in Rwanda where there is better pay and better working conditions and where the doctors and nurses are appreciated.\nIn all of East Africa, it is only Uganda that has fallen back and is at the bottom of the heap. Please feel free and travel to Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and Ethiopia. These countries, although they too have massive problems of their own, are far ahead of Uganda. I'd say these countries are about 50 years ahead of Uganda.\nLet's talk about Rukungiri. The Rukungiri incident was an eye opener that people are really tired. People now love their country and their patriotism is not for sale. After Museveni providing 1 billion shillings to be distributed among the people of Rukungiri so that they can vote for his candidate, things backfired instantly. They chewed the money, but voted for the opposition. It is a sign that people are tired of- Business as Usual.\nAnd this is only the beginning, the incident is simply the beginning of a ripple effect that will spread through out the country. People have been very patient but rather late than never, have realised that things will never work in the current system.\nI will write my next column next week on Thursday. I will try to write a column every week either on politics or health or both. Please share my articles with your friends and feel free to respond and give me your opinions.\nMay the good Lord protect you all.\nDoctor Aggrey Kiyingyi",

A 60's era romantic comedy, with little to no seriousness to it, starring Tony Curtis, Henry Fonda, and Natalie Wood. A young pHD female psychologist gets pursued and scammed by a tabloid-magazine writer who is looking for a juicy dirt-story to publish about her, however he finds himself in love with this pretty psychologist and a lot of misunderstandings ensue. Check this one out if you like goofy old romantic comedies.\nLabels: 1964, comedy, film, henry fonda, natalie wood, sex and the single girl, sneaks movie reviews, tony curtis\nSneaks' Movie Reviews: 'Time Rider: The Adventure of Lyle Swann\" (1982)\nMovie: Time Rider: The Adventure of Lyle Swann (1982)\nRating: 5.2/10 Stars ******\nWow, one of those not-so-good 80s sci-fi movies about a moto-cross rider who gets lost during a long-distance race and wanders onto a government test site and inadvertently is sent back in time to 1877 where he finds himself being pursued by cowboy outlaws and life in the wild west. Check it out if you don't know what else to watch, its at least entertaining, but don't expect much, the poster may be the coolest part of the movie :-)\nLabels: 1982, 80s sci fi movies, director william dear, sci fi, sneaks movie reviews, the adventure of lyle swann, time rider\nThe Track of the Week: 'Endless Summer' by The Jezabels (2011)\nThis week's track is Endless Summer, by Sydney-based Australian indie-pop-rock group The Jezabels. The band formed originally back in 2007 where the members met at University and started up the group, which consists of Hayley Mary (vocals), Heather Shannon (piano/keyboard), Nik Kaloper (drums), and Samuel Lockwood (bass guitar). Endless Summer is a track off of the groups latest album Prisoner, which was released on November 8th, 2011.

This movie, however, is quite good and about a top female-chef in Germany who's sister has just died and by default adopts her 8 year old niece who is going through the trauma of losing her parent at such a young age (also never having met her Father who lives far away in Italy). Seems realistic and a bit intense, but not too intense, their is tragedy and comedy in this one, so take your pick.\nLabels: 2001, bella martha, dj purple sneakers, films, foreign films, mostly martha, movies, sneaks movie reviews\nSneaks' Movie Reviews: 'Monsters' (2010)\nMovie: Monsters (2010)\nArrrghh, I keep falling farther and farther behind on my movie reviews, will need to seriously catch up at some point. I Saw this on Netflix streaming. Its a sci-fi thriller about a photographer for a big media outlet who is assigned by an company executive to escort his daughter out of Mexico, which has been over-run by alien beings (basically giant floating octopi, which is so over-used by alien sci-fi movies) and back into the USA. This movie was hardly good, but entertaining if you can't decide what else to watch, and I believe their may be some undertones of social commentary going on regarding illegal immigration and the whole US-Mexico anti-immigration mumbo jumbo going on.\nLabels: 2010, director gareth edwards, dj purple sneakers, films, monsters, sci fi, sneaks movie reviews\nThe Weekly Music Post: 'Get Down Party (with Raashan Ahmad)' by Meem (2011)\nWelcome back fans, its time for another weekly music post.

Probably one of the first years movies starting having audio. Quite a non-serious and more comedy oriented musical about a lieutenant (Chevalier) and his romance with a Viennese violin player, only to be confused by a visiting princess' crush after a fateful wink and smile. Check it out, its funny and seriously old school. Its good though, to have some variety in the movie reviews, old and new, they've all had their moment under the bright lights.\nLabels: 1931, chevalier, dj purple sneakers, films, movies, reviews, sneaks movie reviews, the smiling lieutenant\nSteve Judd Global March 2012 Astrological Forecast",

Canada has a variety of wilderness ecosystems but as our society, represented both by corporations and individuals, encroaches on nature and natural habitats, loss of species is inevitable. We must balance our gain against this loss, making sure the benefits are worth the upset of the delicate balance that allows us all to thrive together.\nJean Weller has travelled widely throughout Canada with camera in hand, searching for nature\u2019s unspoiled beauty. She has photographed in remote areas in the north and west as well as wilderness closer to home.

        "raw_content": "Home > Clinical Experience > Feeling My Way Around\nAbdominal palpation per rectum of horses is not a skill that typically gets developed overnight. I should know \u2014 I have spent the last two weeks palpating mares for an hour each morning trying to master the blind art, and I still feel lost. The first time I tried, I felt nothing but the mare squeezing hard on my poorly developed arm muscles. The only two things I could identify were:\n1) I was indeed arm deep inside of a mare\u2019s rectum, and\n2) I was, indeed, feeling soft tissue\u2026things.\nAs the first week progressed, I was able to better identify some of the more salient features of the mare\u2019s reproductive tract, including the cervix and occasionally an ovary. I initially started with my dominant arm, since I am much more dexterous with my right than with my left, in an effort to ease the difficulty associated with palpating. Halfway through the second week, after I thought I had found the left ovary about three times as often as I could correctly identify the right ovary, I switched to my left arm. At the beginning of my third week of palpating mares, one of the clinicians asked me to mentor a second-year student as she performed her first palpation. It was amazing to me how much I could describe and teach the second-year student, even as an amateur myself. Of course, the clinician was standing nearby to answer any questions the student had that I was unable to answer. For the most part, however, I would like to think that I was pretty helpful!\nBook Knowledge in the Real World\nHorseshoes \u2013 More Than Just Lucky\nTim was born and raised in Freehold, NJ, and attended The College of New Jersey where he attained a B.S. in Biology with minors in Spanish and Psychology.

        "raw_content": "Carbon Taxes will cause increased prices of gasoline and other oil products which will reduce the consumption of for instance gasoline. For a 10% price increase empirical data show we can expect a 2.5% fall in consumption within a year growing to a total of 6% after a few years. Neat. But what would happen if we increased the price indefinitely?\nUsing a steadily rising Carbon Tax to decarbonize the economy \u2013 an example\nIf changes are introduced slowly and predictably they are easy to adjust to. Let\u2019s assume that an economy is growing by 2% pr year (GDP growth) and 10% of GDP is spent on energy (a pretty high number). Let us now levy a Carbon Tax on the energy usage. This Carbon Tax is set to increase so much pr. year that half the GDP growth is eaten by the Carbon Tax. As you can see, this means that the cost of energy \u2013 including tax \u2013 can be made to go up by 10% every year, and still only eat up half the GDP growth.\n(100%*1,02 = 102; 10 + 2*1/2 = 11 \ud83d\ude42 )\nAfter 10 years of this regime \u2013 provided we have not made any switch to renewables \u2013 the carbon tax take would be ~10% of GDP, meaning that 10% of GDP is spent on energy (fossil fuels) and 10% is collected in Carbon Tax on this energy usage.\nEventually, emitting CO2 just becomes too expensive\nAt this rate, renewable energies would be profitable if they costed twice as much as fossil fuels or less. There are plenty of renewables that are profitable at that rate, and were this tax policy to continue for yet another decade then it is hard to see how it could still be profitable to emit greenhouse gases. (Imagine where we would have been if world leaders had agreed upon this principle back in the early 1990s).\nThe slow but steady growth to a very high tax works around the primary concerns with carbon taxes \u2013 that they\u2019re either too feeble to bite or so tough they\u2019ll kill the economy.\nLetting living standards rise while phasing out CO2\nWhile all this is going on, people would still have increased their standard of living by around 10% after the first decade. We are consequently not talking about putting on the hair-shirt and going crazy-green to deal with the problem \u2013 and GDP growth is actually the key to the solution.",

        "raw_content": "Chicago\u2019s Best Charities\nThere are a lot of wonderful causes to support in the greater Chicago area. Many great area nonprofits support the environment, education, and even animals. While a number of nonprofits fill merely a community void, the great ones have clear goals, and they maximize every dollar down to the last red cent. According to Giving in Chicago, about 44% of Chicago households gave over $1,000 to charity. The top Chicago-area nonprofits include:\nAlliance for the Great Lakes. Supporters have worked for 45 years to protect the legacy of the five lakes. This is achieved through advocacy, education, and restoration. The city has made a commitment to reduce pollution in Lake Erie, and the state recently passed a law to end the processing of bath scrubs and beads, which marine life often mistakes for food. There is also an annual \u2018Adopt A Beach\u2019 program where thousands of volunteers in all of the bordering Great Lake states pick up trash from the shoreline.\nThe Alzheimer\u2019s Association. This organization is committed to finding a cure for the dreaded disease. Since 1980, the Alzheimer\u2019s Association has raised more than $320 million towards funding research. The organization started TrialMatch, an online service that matches eligible patients with clinical trials.\nBridge Communities. This is one of the best non profits for the homeless in the state. The client base is specifically for DuPage County. Bridge Communities also offers clients ways of getting back on their own two feet with the help of a furnished apartment, counseling, therapy, and interview preparation.\nThe Greater Chicago Food Depository. This Cook County food nonprofit was started in 1979. Today, it has grown to a network of kitchens with hundreds of volunteers that serve one in six county residents.

        "raw_content": "Having accepted the tasks of both editing the Pfingo video as well as post-production for the latest episode of 65bits, I found my circumstances suddenly spiralling severely out of control. I was torn between putting these two episodes online as soon as possible, and satisfying my parents' demands to study more. Of course, there wasn't really anything to study, but even I felt that I was on the computer working on either of these things incessantly. From the moment I bathed and finished the usual routines of reading my RSS feeds and clearing my email, to late at night, when I was either too tired, drawn away by something more important, or distracted away from the task.\nMore importantly though, I was worrying constantly about these two episodes. Not when they will come out, that is a concern but not my primary one, but just that they kept dwelling on my mind, one after another, one after the other. It didn't help that (1) my computer's a bloody crawler (although I think as a human in a fast-paced society, even a fast computer won't last too long before my task speed surpasses its abilities. Human adaptability, you know) and (2) I kept making mistakes, resulting in unnecessary actions such as having to re-upload an episode three times because of one factor or the other.\nI'm a Christian, and I proudly subscribe to my church's beliefs on worrying (ie. not worrying at all [Matt 6:25] why worry about things beyond your control?). Still, a good number of well-taught Christians would tell you that the simplest truths in the Bible are the dead hardest to habitualize. Why? Precisely because they are so simple. The truth is simple, but it's flipside may well be simpler to fall into. I wasted all my time worrying when I could have spent the time to rest and seek joy. For me, it is seeking rest and joy in my Lord. For you, it may be a million other things. Why did I need to worry? I was going to only reach home at this time anyway. My computer is this slow anyway. I can only do so much in one night anyway.",

        "raw_content": "Bake the Cake, What\u2019s the Big Deal\nby TexasLynn Jun 14, 2018 - 10:01am\nPeople mixed and matched religion then as people mix and match wardrobes today. If one god (or group of them) wasn't getting you what you wanted... try another or several at the same time. Sure, there were the odd-ball religions who didn't do this (the Jews for example), but if you were relatively well behaved and towed the line... that was tolerated.\nEnter the Christians... who fell into that odd-ball category of NOT mixing and matching as everybody else did (inheriting that from the God of the Jews). At first, they were thought of a Jewish sect and thus enjoyed the same Roman sanctioned status of Judaism. But that would not last, in large part at the behest of the Jews of that time.\nSetting aside the fact that Christians were rounded up and killed in various ways. The manner and degree of persecution ebbed and flowed within the Roman Empire over time. Roman society sought to dissuade people from practicing their Christian faith and one such means was to prevent Christians from being able to work and make a living for themselves and their families; to prevent them from being able to enjoy the normal benefits of society.\nExamples include the following. 1) Trade unions would adopt a patron god. To work you had to belong to that union. To belong to that union, you had to pay homage to their god. 2) Government officials required citizens to make a token (religious) offering to Caesar; failure to do that ostracized the offending denizen to the point that it limited their ability to work, buy, sell, and function in society.\nDave Volek Added Jun 14, 2018 - 11:11am\nNice line of thought Lynn.\nMy understanding that the Roman culture had its values parked in everyone using everyone else to gain some kind of personal advantage. Success in life was to move forward materialistically. The political elite were playing games to find the edge over each other. Slaves were jockeying over each other for the better positions. If someone was of no use to a second person, there was no motivation to help that person. And when a seemingly act of kindness appeared, there was a big favor expected in the future. Roman life was all a big game to be played to get some kind of personal advantage.\nThe early Christians challenged that culture. They weren't playing that societal game. That is why they were persecuted.\nKatharine Otto Added Jun 14, 2018 - 12:07pm\nTo follow up on Dave's thought above, I wonder if Jesus' biggest sin was in not worshipping money. Throwing the money changers out of the temple, or the parable about the lilies of the field, for instance. He earned the hatred of both Romans and other Jews.\nBut Christians of today do not practice what Jesus did. They have become greedy war hawks, as a group, although individual Christians may be different.\nI do agree the state has no right to force its will on citizens. Government over the people assumes god-like authority. At least religion is voluntary, but taxation is not.\nThanks for the input and perspective on Roman culture. Though it's hard to know for sure how that society was, I suspect you are right concerning the quid-pro-quo nature of things.\nYou are indeed correct that Christians challenged that culture by not conforming to the degree that the Romans felt this new religion was an enemy of the state and needed to be destroyed. It was a narrative that the Jewish leadership promoted in hopes of accomplishing the same thing.\nFaithful Jews would have refused to worship of other gods as well... but at that time in history managed to conform enough not to suffer the same fate. That would not always be the case, since the Romans eventually destroyed Jerusalem and the temple in 70 AD.\nChrist instructed His followers to a Way that was completely new. We were to be kind and do good works for no other reason than we were His followers. We were to forgive slights and trespasses against us, because He had forgiven us of so much more. We were to love not just our family and friends, but even our enemies. He taught us that any of us who would be first in His kingdom (Heaven) we would be last (meaning we would serve) in this one (on earth).\nBut... he also made it abundantly clear... we would NOT worship false idols to the point of death; and THAT was the tool the Romans (and now the secular) use against us.\nThe big leftist message going around today is that \"Jesus would have baked that cake\". This comes mostly from those who haven't really studied the teaching of the Messiah. As one who has... I disagree.\nJesus was by trade a carpenter. I think if he sold his wares and service to the public in general he would have sold to homosexuals (as he would have all sinners). BUT if he had been asked to build something that would be used in the celebration of sin (gay marriage or idol worship for example) he would have refused. (This was actually the exact policy of the Christian baker before the SCOTUS recently. He would not bake cakes for Halloween or even disparaging the LGBT movement either. I have been very impressed with his stance and commitment.)\nThat said, Christ and God do not hate gays... or any other sinners. He loves all and hopes each will turn from sin... but He does not pretend Sin is not what it is.\nWhen the Pharisees brought an adulteress before Him demanding she be stoned; he saved her by \"writing in the dust\" and proclaiming \"let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone\". Many, even the secular, know of this quote and story. What many do not remember is His last words to the woman.\nHe doesn't say to her... \"Now go and have fun because it's all good.\" No... He said, \"Go and sin no more.\"\nHe did not condemn her for her sin... but neither did he celebrate it or give her an excuse to return to it.\nJesus hated the sin... but he loved the sinner. :)\nSide Note: There is conjecture (among Christians) as to what Jesus \u201cwrote in the dust\u201d \u2026 in the above story. It is not documented\u2026 but the best guess I\u2019ve ever heard was that he wrote \u201cWhere is the man who also committed adultery?\u201d :)\nYes, that is a fantastic biblical story! The message is so clear.\nMy understanding of those times were that the Jewish nobility was in cahoots with the Romans. They lived a life of pleasure and worked within the Roman culture of manipulating other people to gain advancement. But 90% of the Jews were destitute. Many were so poor, that they signed their life into slavery. There was no hope for a better life than the one they had. And they too were playing the game of advancement, doing things like turning in their neighbor for cheating on oppressive taxes to gain some favor with the authorities.\nThe early Christians said \"no\" to all that. People were attracted to this early religion because of its altruism--and were willing to suffer the consequences.\nRegardless, conversion rate was still quite low in the first two centuries. The Jewish zealots outnumbered the Christians in 70 AD. The zealots were a bigger problem for the Romans than the early Christians at that time.\nI think Mother Theresa said something like: \"A state of true happiness is doing something nice for someone else and not expecting anything in return.\"\nDino Manalis Added Jun 14, 2018 - 12:51pm\nIndividuals have the right to make their own personal decisions in a private business.\nI agree the baker shouldn\u2019t have to bake the cake. He didn\u2019t refuse the gay couple service, he simply refused to bake them a wedding cake. If I remember correctly he also refused to bake Halloween cakes because they are against his religions. I think that worked in his favor.\nJust to reiterate.....I am a liberal.\nNo one should be discriminated on the basis of race, sex, religion or sexual orientation. The baker applied his Christian beliefs equally to everyone which is why I support the Supreme Court\u2019s decision. His religious rights need to be respected.\nOn one hand I agree with you. But there is a slippery slope.\nBack in the 40s, 50s, & 60s, there used to be a popular travel book for African Americans called the Green Book. It listed all the motels, restaurants, and gas stations that allowed black to use. At the time, there were quite a few travel facilities that refused to serve blacks, preferring not to take their money. In this way, African Americans could plan a journey by car and not have to subject themselves to any overt racism.\nIf a business is allowed to overtly refuse a gay person, where do we draw the line? Should grocery stores be allowed to do the same? Car dealerships? How about government institutions such as schools?\nTo me, it seems the more prudent thing would be to say something like: \"We are booked on that day.\"\nBut then again, a motel owner could use the same strategy saying to some African Americans: \"The motel is full.\"\nI don't have an answer here.\n@Dave Volek:\nThat is a problem, Dave.\nI think the Supreme Court\u2019s decision is narrow enough so that laws can be applied to prevent discrimination against homosexuals.\nBut it is important to remember that the baker also has a right to his religious beliefs. Another important thing to remember is that this does not affect public employees or public services.\nAfter thinking about it, the gay couple is really not inconvenienced in the same way African American motorists were in the 1950s. It would not have been that difficult to find another bakery that would have been happy to take their money.\nThis is indeed a complex issue.\nAn interesting question, that Jeffrey Kelly provided a lot of insight on.\nI recall a movie scene, where a social justice warrior type challenged a restaurant owner about not allowing Mexicans on the premises. A vicious fight ensued. The restaurateur was victorious, and dropped the 'we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone' sign on the loser.\nIt seems to me, no matter how disgusting ignorant racism is, a business owner should have the right to refuse service to anyone he pleased.\nThe marketplace would likely penalize him, and it might even help potential businesses to get established, that served those that were refused elsewhere.\nAs ugly as discrimination is, I do not believe that a draconian restriction on freedom of association is the right answer. Race relations were actually much better under segregation, though I do not necessarily advocate a return to it. Some libertarians believe that anti-discrimination laws are a grievous curtailment of liberty, and their arguments have some merit.\nThis is a narrow decision, that was justified by religious beliefs, but maybe it can be built upon, so that someday, business owners do not have their freedoms abridged.\nI was babysitting a certain establishment, years ago. Some drunk Indians showed up. I told them to leave before I summoned the police. Not because they were Indians, but because they were puking all over the place.\nTex - I certainly do not agree with your conclusions. I am an atheist, antitheist, and I have a morality as high as any Christian and a lot higher than most. I'm not a hypocrite. Neither do I want to stop anyone from having their own beliefs or practising their religion. All I want is for them not to indoctrinate children, force others to follow their beliefs or interfere with government or secular practice.\nI look back at Rome and wonder what would have happened to the Jewish cult of Christianity if Constantine hadn't politically used it to unify a dysfunctional Rome.\nTexasLynn: In secular society, anything and everything can be moral and right and those who disagree will be forced to submit and worship anything and everything\u2026 IF they want to work\u2026 IF they want to feed their family\u2026 IF they want to buy and sell\u2026 IF they want to have a place is civilized society\u2026\nLynn, for me you have just one word wrong in that sentence. If for \"secular\" you substitute \"political,\" I'll agree with you all the way. For in a political society, laws enacted by politicians are treated as if they had thereby become \"moral and right.\" Even if they are totally destructive.\nI think you and I are closer in our views than either of us is to the politicians of any party. What is the source of the distinction between right and wrong? You think, god. I think, ius - natural justice, or human nature. They think, lex - laws made by themselves.\nOn this specific issue, here's how I put my view in a recent essay on this very site: ...all individuals and societies must have the right to discriminate, if they wish, among those with whom they trade. A Christian baker, for example, isn\u2019t required to bake a cake for a gay wedding if he doesn\u2019t want to. Nor are company bosses to be required to hire women, Irish people, Muslims or convicted criminals if they don\u2019t want to.\nNeil - surely laws should be based on human nature and natural justice?\nNeil Lock is talking true freedom, not just the pieces that political correctness allows. Let the market decide, not politicians and virtue-signalers.\nOpher: well yes, that's the theory. But politicians don't agree. They make laws to benefit themselves, their cronies and their supporters at the expense of everyone else. Don't they?\nWe once forcibly transported children, many miles, for the benefit of society?\nAll that trauma, and what did it get us?\nFew totalitarian regimes could exceed that kind of ruthless control. We can't even look back in retrospect and say 'that savage assault on liberty and freedom was worth it.'\nIt isn't a fair world, and no amount of misguided laws can make it so.\nMaybe we have turned the corner with the Christian baker, but what amounts to a 'religious exemption' is far from a return to freedom of association.\nThere is lots of good logic to what you are saying. Let the free market sort it out.\nThe restaurants, motels, and gas stations in the GREEN BOOK probably made more profit than the other businesses not in the book.\nWith the leverage that most businesses have, a loss of 10% of cash flow can turn a profitable business into one that is barely surviving. That might be the best motivation to keep good customers, regardless of color or sexual orientation.\nI regret that there ever was a need for a green book, but I have to agree, competition would make many proprietors reconsider mindless unjustified prejudice.\nAlso, some places wouldn't have to fear turning away a group of MS13 members, for fear of a lawsuit, or mobs of social justice warriors showing up to protest. If you suspect someone is a gangster, and may etch graffiti into your bathroom mirrors, you should have the right to tell them to get off your property.\nI have seen winos and derelicts refused service before. Nobody cared because they don't have a vocal identity constituency or semi-professional SJWs to raise hell on their behalf.\nNeil - I'm not sure I'd go along with that. Some politicians like Trump clearly do but we do still have some caring, uncorrupt politicians, at least in the UK.\nRespective of a couple's sexual preferences, why would anyone want to patronize someone that hates them? I d want to spend my money elsewhere. Now, of course, TraitoLynn will delete this because basically, he's a coward like Ryan. Big talk, hypocritical action.\nI watched the Brexit hearings on TV. Great entertainment. They couldn't even stay on subject. One moron, even blaming Donald Trump for corrupting the process.\nWhich of those clowns do you consider caring and uncorrupt? A better word would be honest, as Trump is described.\nEarly Christians would not accept the Emperor as a living GOD, threatening the stability of Rome. They had to go.\nPardero, I completely disagree with you.\nI think in this one case because of some very specific actions taken by the owner I think this turned out all right.\nBut the difference is that the baker never refused to serve the men, he simply didn\u2019t want to bake them the wedding cake. Going from memory he offered to bake them another cake just not a wedding cake. He did this across the board, including not baking Halloween cakes.\nBut no, businesses do not have the right to simply refuse service for someone because of race, religion, gender, etc. Yes, they can refuse service but it can\u2019t be because of the reasons I just gave. That is discrimination and this country has a horrible history with that. Capitalism didn\u2019t solve it back then, it took government action to do so.\nBlack people, homosexuals, women, men, Hispanics, Asians, whatever, people have certain rights Pardero.\nI didn't mean that I would do such a thing. Part of me disagrees with myself. I don't burn flags, either, but it must be considered free speech, and allowed.\nI believe in minimal essential government. The government does not belong in the charity business, either, and it does not belong forcing people to do business with those that they don't wish to.\nPeople make a big fuss about the Second Amendment, but freedom of association was so much taken for granted and impervious to government proscription, that it needed no mention.\nOur natural right of freedom of association should not be removed by a government because somebody might get hurt feelings.\nMy heart agrees with you, but my head believes in freedom and liberty, and I must stake out a harsh position on principle.\nJeff Michka Added Jun 14, 2018 - 10:07pm\nWell, they don't have the same rights or as many rights as \"good, clean white people.\" like Pard claims to be....he is...oogah boogah, part of the TARUMPIST tribe. And folks bring up MS13 in this context? That's pathetic.\nThat is part of freedom and liberty. This keeps minorities from being oppressed.\nYou know that I study history, Pardero. I know the really bad things that happen when majorities do as they please against minorities.\nThe people in this country have the right to eat where they want, shop where they want, assemble where they want, etc. without worrying that their skin color or their sex will stop them.\nNow, this is where your capitalism comes in Pardero. I may want to eat in certain restaurants but I can\u2019t afford it. It\u2019s simple, same with living in certain areas or shopping in certain stores. There are dress codes and things like that. But if I have the money I can do those things. That\u2019s where society separates us.\nRyan Messano Added Jun 14, 2018 - 11:09pm\nLol@ a grown adult saying \u201cOogah boogah\u201d. Nothing juvenile about that.\nFirst, SCOTUS had no right to declare a man as property in the Dred Scott case. That had to be rectified with a war. They also had no right to declare homosexuality legal in the 2003 \u201cLawrence Vs. Texas\u201d. It is a crime against nature. An unjust law is no law at all. Augustine. Hopefully, the rogue SCOTUS illicit decisions legalizing Contraception in 1965, porn in 1969, abortion in 1973, the aforementioned homosexuality in 2003, and homosexuality in 2015 wont require a war to overturn them. Already, 200 million Americans have been wiped out by abortion and contraception since 1965, conservatively! That is 100 times as many as the less than 2 million Americans killed in all our wars combined.\nWe have many Americans who don\u2019t understand what law is based on and they stupidly believe the claims of anyone claiming they are a victim.\nFor the liberals on the page, I recommend you learn Blackstone.\nDo they have rights over the majority, Kelly? Since you included all men and women, your statement has no meaning. Why not just say that, ALL PEOPLE HAVE RIGHTS!\nExpat - Corbyn and McDonald to start with.\n\"If I remember correctly he also refused to bake Halloween cakes because they are against his religions. I think that worked in his favor.\"\n\"But the difference is that the baker never refused to serve the men, he simply didn\u2019t want to bake them the wedding cake. Going from memory he offered to bake them another cake just not a wedding cake. He did this across the board, including not baking Halloween cakes.\"\nJeffrey, first let me say that you are right. Now let me suggest why the Supreme Court got it wrong. If the city council (I believe it was) hadn't been overtly anti-religious, the court would have ruled against the bakers. The court sent the message that it is ok to discriminate against religion; just keep your mouth shut.\nWhat you are suggesting, Jeffrey, is that each owner must pass a litmus test to validate whether or not they are religious enough. If two separate bakers both refuse to bake a cake because they have religious convictions against promoting homosexualism, one is guilty if he doesn't attend church regularly while the other is innocent because he attends church regularly and has a clear record of not supporting Halloween. So, do we really want the Supreme Court to sort out individual cases, determining who is religious enough and who is not? That's what the ruling amounts to. Not only is the ruling extremely narrow, it sets the stage for the government to control religious owners. All they have to do is not mention religion when chastising the business, then they can enforce anti-religious legislation. Contrary to popular belief, this was an anti-religious ruling.\nSorry all for the delayed response... it's that exciting life of an IT guy.\nKO >> He (Jesus) earned the hatred of both Romans and other Jews.\nI think the Romans considered Jesus (and many others) an internal Jewish problem. I don't think the Romans gave Jesus much thought until the Jews handed Him over to them to be crucified. Even then, if you read the account of Jesus' trial, Pilot did everything he could to rid himself of dealing with Jesus. BUT, the Romans were the only ones who could legally carry out the death penalty and the Jewish leaders would settle for nothing less. Eventually Pilot relented and literally \"washed his hands\" of the matter... telling the Jews OK... I'll execute him, but his blood/death is on your hands.\nOther than the account of His passion (torture) and crucifixion; there are few documented encounters between Jesus and Roman citizens, though I'm sure He encounter them on a very regular basis. Romans society simply wasn't the circle in which Jewish Rabbis circulated on a regular basis.\nOne exception to this was a centurion who asked Jesus to heal a sick servant. Jesus said he would go with him and do so; but the centurion said that if Jesus simply said his servant would be healed, that would be enough. Jesus praised the centurion for his faith and sent him on his way.\nKO >> To follow up on Dave's thought above, I wonder if Jesus' biggest sin was in not worshipping money.\nMONEY, drives everything for the rich and powerful. The Romans and Jews were no exception; where money and power went hand-in-hand.\nJesus did not directly teach or threaten that class system... but he did attack the status quo and point out the hypocrisy of the higher ups.\nOn you subject of attacking the rich... Jesus did in fact tell his followers that it was easier for a camel to walk through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.\nKO >> Throwing the money changers out of the temple...\nI just had a discussion with another gentleman concerning Jesus throwing the money changers out of the temple. Remember that all the money changers and merchants that suffered at the hands of Jesus were Jews... not Romans. Jesus actually had very few documented encounters with Romans though they surrounded him every day.\nBut, that gets right back to what you were talking about... Jesus cost these rich men money, and respect. He had to go.\nKO >> or the parable about the lilies of the field, for instance.\nThe parable of the lilies/flowers in the field was intent on telling us to be content and not anxious about anything. That God would provide our basic needs AND in the Heaven would bless us beyond our imagination.\nKO >> But Christians of today do not practice what Jesus did.\nI hate to lump all of us in that basket. :)\nPlease understand that what Jesus did, no man can do. From a Christian perspective, Jesus led the perfect life (sinless) and then died for our sins as only the blameless Son of God could.\nJesus does not command that we do what he did (which is impossible) ... just try to do what He told us... and when we fail... keep trying... knowing that because of His sacrifice we are forgiven for every failure. Thus, the Christian adage, \"Not perfect, just forgiven.\"\nKO >> They have become greedy war hawks, as a group, although individual Christians may be different.\nChristianity by its nature is individual in my opinion. Each of us is individually responsible for our own path.\nKO >> I do agree the state has no right to force its will on citizens. Government over the people assumes god-like authority. At least religion is voluntary, but taxation is not.\nFor many, the state is their god to which they assign such authority; and that has lead to more tyranny and death than any other thing on earth.\nGreat comments and insight... thank you.\nDave >> Yes, that is a fantastic biblical story! The message is so clear.\nIt is! Because it applies to each and every one of us. What Jesus does for and says to that pitiful woman is what He says to us!\nDave >> My understanding of those times were that the Jewish nobility was in cahoots with the Romans. They lived a life of pleasure and worked within the Roman culture of manipulating other people to gain advancement.\nAbsolutely. It was a status-quo kind of thing... kind-of like today. :)\nDave >> But 90% of the Jews were destitute. Many were so poor... And they too were playing the game of advancement...\nI would guess less so; but still there was that factor.\nDave >> The early Christians said \"no\" to all that.\nEhhhh... not as much as you might think. Remember that a lot of the Jews resented Roman rule. The Pharisees tried to put Jesus in a no-win situation by asking Him if Jews should pay their taxes. If He said no, the Romans would notice... If He said yes, He would upset some of His followers. Jesus took his answer to higher level. Telling then \"Rend unto Caesar that which is Caesar's (taxes) and unto God that which is God's (your devotion). So... Jesus and his followers didn't say \"no\" to ALL of that (Jesus said, pay your taxes) ... just certain things, like idol worship which even faithful Jews would have done.\nAnd, Jesus and early Christians made a big deal out of assuring the Romans that they were not advocating against Roman rule; that their purpose was higher and spiritual (which was true).\nDave >> People were attracted to this early religion because of its altruism--and were willing to suffer the consequences.\nThat... and God walking the earth and inviting us to have an eternal relationship with Him. :)\nDave >> Regardless, conversion rate was still quite low in the first two centuries.\nYep... very much so.\nDave >> The Jewish zealots outnumbered the Christians in 70 AD. The zealots were a bigger problem for the Romans than the early Christians at that time.\nLuke in particular goes out of his way to say that the Christian community wanted to be good (Roman) citizens while legitimately practicing their faith. Luke's message to the Romans... it's not us (Christians) who are the problem but rather the Jewish authorities (zealots).\nSide Note: Did you know the term \"zealot\" literally comes from the Greek word meaning \"to oppose Roman authority in Judea\".\nDave >> I think Mother Theresa said something like: \"A state of true happiness is doing something nice for someone else and not expecting anything in return.\"\nJK >> I agree the baker shouldn\u2019t have to bake the cake. He didn\u2019t refuse the gay couple service, he simply refused to bake them a wedding cake.\nI'm glad we are in agreement here. Let me concede that under the law, had the gay couple simply walked in and bought a cake he had for sell to the general public... he would have been legally obliged to sell it to them. The baker, in fact, stated that he did sell to any and all in that circumstance.\nJK >> If I remember correctly he also refused to bake Halloween cakes because they are against his religions.\nYou are correct. AND the once all this hit the fan, the baker was asked to bake several anti-LBGT cakes. He refused, saying this too would not be living up to his religious principles.\nJK >> I think that worked in his favor.\nJK >> Just to reiterate.....I am a liberal.\nI glad you cleared that up. I know several on WB were wondering. As I've stated before, I commend you for embracing that fact; and not throwing a hissy-fit when the adjective/noun is thrown your way.\nJust to reiterate... I am a conservative. :)\nDave >> Back in the 40s, 50s, & 60s, there used to be a popular travel book for African Americans called the Green Book...\nInteresting bit of history I was unaware of.\nDave >> If a business is allowed to overtly refuse a gay person, where do we draw the line?\nThis is actually a very good question. For this post, I side with the baker because I can understand his legitimately held religious beliefs. Christians view homosexuality as a sin; and while we are all sinners, we should not be required to condone, speak in favor of, associate with, or be required to act in support to sin (any sin).\nThe question arises, should there be any law compelling people to\nJK >> I think the Supreme Court\u2019s decision is narrow enough so that laws can be applied to prevent discrimination against homosexuals.\nI agree that the decision is very narrow and intentionally so. I suspect the court would not actually extend that protection as far as they should.\nDave >> After thinking about it, the gay couple is really not inconvenienced in the same way African American motorists were in the 1950s. It would not have been that difficult to find another bakery that would have been happy to take their money.\nOK... but what if they were inconvenienced. What if this baker was the only one in a few hundred miles (I know... but humor me). Do the religious beliefs of the baker still stand up? From my perspective... it always does.\nFYI... thanks to the horrible state of the main stream media; few know that this gay couple targeted this baker. They didn't just randomly walk into his shop. As gay activists, they wanted to bring a suit and searched around until they found someone they thought would deny their request for service. When they walked into his shop, their intent from the very beginning was litigation.\nAs a side note on these two gay men actively seeking out someone they suspected would refuse them so they could file a case... they didn't target a barker who subscribed to the \"religion of peace\" (Islam). Nope, they went after a Christian instead. I wonder why?\nPardero >> It seems to me, no matter how disgusting ignorant racism is, a business owner should have the right to refuse service to anyone he pleased.\nMy libertarian inclination screams \"yes\"; my moral and rational inclination screams \"no\".\nIf this had been the law from the beginning, I can't help but think our progress in practically eliminating racism would have been much, much slower. (And please spare me the diatribes of how racist we still are.)\nNow that all that progress is behind us; I don't think making such discrimination legal now would amount to a hill of beans. A racist business would court disaster to have such a policy.\nPardero >> As ugly as discrimination is, I do not believe that a draconian restriction on freedom of association is the right answer.\nLaw requiring non-discrimination based on race, sex, religion, or nationality is indeed simply legislating morality. So is law concerning prostitution, and theft. The idea that you can't \"legislate morality\" is a misnomer. You can't instill it, but half the laws on the books are the legislation of it.\nSo, it gets down to... should sexual orientation and identity (and who knows what else) be added to that list. I say no.\nCasting aside legality, and looking at the issue morally, I think it is imperative that all individuals be treated respectfully; but that is an individual responsibility we must all decide upon.\nPardero >> Race relations were actually much better under segregation,\nI think there was a mixed bag on that. Whites in the U.S. have largely left racism behind (though they are most often accused of racism). Blacks have embraced it, because the left (and race pimp blacks) have made so much profit from it.\nPardero >> Some libertarians believe that anti-discrimination laws are a grievous curtailment of liberty, and their arguments have some merit.\nAnd I understand that argument. I just don't agree with it. I'm no libertarian.\nPardero >> This is a narrow decision, that was justified by religious beliefs, but maybe it can be built upon, so that someday, business owners do not have their freedoms abridged.\nMaybe, but I'm not hopeful. I think it was narrow because the SCOTUS intends not to build upon it... but rather go the other way.\nPardero >> I was babysitting a certain establishment, years ago. Some drunk Indians showed up. I told them to leave before I summoned the police. Not because they were Indians, but because they were puking all over the place.\nYou racist bastard! :)\nGreat comments all, I\u2019ll be replying to more as I have time.\nI claim no label except as an individual. I believe business owners should have the right to sell or refuse anyone they want, for any reason they want. It is their loss if they refuse, but a business is private property, just like a home. Is anyone required to invite anyone into her home? No.\nBusinesses, unlike the government, are not in business to \"serve\" the public. They are in business to make a living, and they have the right to make a less profitable living if they so choose.\nKO >> I claim no label except as an individual.\nWe're all different. We're all individuals. :P\nKO >> I believe business owners should have the right to sell or refuse anyone they want, for any reason they want...\nMany libertarian minded people on WB are with you on this belief. I respect that stance and can relate... BUT I can't share it. I think it is reasonable for society to place limits on how far businesses can go in their discrimination (not intended as a negative term here). In my mind, there is a golden mean here we should seek in an effort to protect the rights of the minority (as in small groups).\nThat mean has currently been skewed too far to the left. The SCOTUS corrected it a bit, but not enough in my opinion. I personally don't want it skewed in too far in the opposite direction (where all bets are off) either.\nHopefully, we can civilly agree to disagree on this one. :)\n$%&^! RW!!! Do you see me proposing moderation!? Hell just cooled a few degrees. :)\nThe question the Supremes answered, was:\nCan an artist be compelled to participate in activity, that is against his belief?\nThe correct answer was NO!\nSince the cake was not a special order, but an \"off the rack\" cake, I would side with Ginsberg on this. Because the cake was off the rack, and not a special artistic creation, the gay couple was not asking for a special cake to be made for the couple. Had the couple asked for a special artistic cake be made, then I would side with the owner of the bakery, and that the artist did not have to do special work for this couple.\nI will grant you it is a fine line. The question is, was baker acting more as an artist in making this cake, or more like a grocer in producing a standard cake? I dont think any of us would say that a grocer has the right to not sell a gay couple groceries, or even a cake that they may sell.\nAs with all court cases, the details of the decision matters in how the case was argued before the Supremes. Since none of us were there, we dont know the specifics of what was argued, but we get the jist from the opinions of the justices.\nBK >> Since the cake was not a special order, but an \"off the rack\" cake, I would side with Ginsberg on this.\n\"A divided Supreme Court on Monday absolved a Colorado baker of discrimination for refusing to create a custom wedding cake for a same-sex couple...\" -- USA Today (thus an ultra-left source).\nWhere did you hear; it was \"off the rack\".\nBK >> Had the couple asked for a special artistic cake be made, then I would side with the owner of the bakery, and that the artist did not have to do special work for this couple.\nSo now that you are properly informed... you'll concede the court and the baker were right?\nBK >> The question is, was baker acting more as an artist in making this cake, or more like a grocer in producing a standard cake?\nThis is indeed what the baker in question did. He served many gay customers in the past with his \"off the rack\" product. He just refused to do a \"custom\" order.\nEXPAT >> The question the Supremes answered, was: Can an artist be compelled to participate in activity, that is against his belief? The correct answer was NO!\nThat is correct and I don't want to diminish the victory... but where the court is heading with this (a very narrow ruling) is that we Christians may not refuse such service strictly on moral grounds. THAT in my opinion would be wrong.\nOpher >> I certainly do not agree with your conclusions.\nThat surprises me Opher. :)\nOpher >> I am an atheist, antitheist\nWell established on WB.\nOpher >> and I have a morality as high as any Christian and a lot higher than most.\nOpher >> I'm not a hypocrite.\nOpher >> Neither do I want to stop anyone from having their own beliefs or practising their religion.\nMeh...

I just shuddered.\nOpher >> All I want is for them not to indoctrinate children\nDoes that include our own children, or do you think it best that you secularist (schools) should take over that responsibility?\nOur Christian beliefs teach us to teach our children...\nProverbs 22:6 (KJV) Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.\nOpher >> ... force others to follow their beliefs\nGive one example where Christians have done this by \u201cforce\u201d. (within the last century).\nWe, sir, are not Islam.\nOpher >> ... or interfere with government or secular practice.\nYou'll have to be more specific. Does exercising our religion and defending ourselves against tyrannical government practice fit your definition of \"interference\"?\nOpher >> I look back at Rome and wonder what would have happened to the Jewish cult of Christianity if Constantine hadn't politically used it to unify a dysfunctional Rome.\nAnswer: God would have found other means, other men, other circumstances... to make His will known. :)\nNeil >> Lynn, for me you have just one word wrong in that sentence. If for \"secular\" you substitute \"political,\" I'll agree with you all the way.\nIt's hard for me to make that substitution. Maybe \"secular political\" since those who push such draconian abuse of power are practically always both. But do let me concede that there are many secular people who do not subscribe to such abuse. Maybe that\u2019s enough.\nNeil >> For in a political society, laws enacted by politicians are treated as if they had thereby become \"moral and right.\" Even if they are totally destructive.\nAgreed... but the two are not equivalent in any way.\nWe Christians are taught that as long as a law does not violate the will of God, we are to submit; which doesn't mean we are restricted from trying to legally change it.\nNeil >> I think you and I are closer in our views than either of us is to the politicians of any party.\nAgreed. :) Thought that is a very low threshold. :)\nNeil >> What is the source of the distinction between right and wrong? You think, god. I think, ius - natural justice, or human nature. They think, lex - laws made by themselves.\nMy only correction to the above would be \"God\"... not god. :)\nNeil >> On this specific issue, here's how I put my view in a recent essay on this very site: ...all individuals and societies must have the right to discriminate, if they wish, among those with whom they trade. A Christian baker, for example, isn\u2019t required to bake a cake for a gay wedding if he doesn\u2019t want to. Nor are company bosses to be required to hire women, Irish people, Muslims or convicted criminals if they don\u2019t want to.\nI definitely see your point, but I'm not all the way with you. We have a Republic (as opposed to a Democracy) for the purpose of protecting the rights of the minority (as in group of people). I personally think that list should be very short (race, religion, national origin, age, sex).\nI believe I stated above that early protections for the above went a long way in curbing and eliminating a lot of ills we had in this society a half century ago.\nPardero >> Neil Lock is talking true freedom, not just the pieces that political correctness allows. Let the market decide, not politicians and virtue-signalers.\nI've got these little libertarian tendencies that Neil (and others) bring out. Like I said above, there is value in some anti-discrimination law; but as with all things the left goes nuts and swings that pendulum as far as they can. It's time for it to swing back to a point of sanity.\n\"True freedom\" is like \"true love\" (see \"The Princess Bride) a rare and fabled thing.\nIf we really took \"true freedom\" to its natural conclusion... you get anarchy. I'm definitely not there. No shouting fire in a crowded theater, etc...\nNeil >> But politicians don't agree. They make laws to benefit themselves, their cronies and their supporters at the expense of everyone else. Don't they?\nYes, to the n'th degree.\nPardero >> We once forcibly transported children, many miles, for the benefit of society?\nAre you talking about school segregation? Wooof... that was a mess.\nPardero >> It isn't a fair world, and no amount of misguided laws can make it so.\nI think this touches on a key difference between the left and right. The left seeks to make things fair in outcome; the right seeks to make things fair in opportunity.\nPardero >> Maybe we have turned the corner with the Christian baker, but what amounts to a 'religious exemption' is far from a return to freedom of association.\nThe ruling was too narrow to even declare that victory. As for the return to freedom of association... that is a distant, distant, memory. Just look at the millions forcibly bilked out of people to support labor unions.\nWell given the expert legal credentials of USA today, what choice do we have?\nIn all honesty, I dont know where I heard the cake was a standard cake, this thing has been flying around for some time now.\nMy personal view is that is was absurd for the couple to take this to court, they simply should have taken their business elsewhere.\nAs I said in my last paragraph, an awful lot depends on the details of the case. I have been on juries where because of how the case was argued the result differed from what would have appeared to be common sense without having heard the arguments.\nI dont know the specifics of what made this cake custom, but given what little we know, we will have to assume the court got it right.\nFor example, if the cake was custom, because they asked for a special kind of chocolate icing, or it was simply larger than usual, then probably the baker should have baked the cake. If it was custom, because it showed two guys kissing and celebrated their gay marriage, then I can understand him not baking the cake.\nThat of course is just my opinion, not a legal one.\nBK >> Well given the expert legal credentials of USA today, what choice do we have?\nI was just pointing out that even liberal sources acknowledge the fact this the gay couple was seeking a custom order. I\u2019m sure I could have also quoted the NYT or Hiffington Post in the same manner.\nBK >> In all honesty, I dont know where I heard the cake was a standard cake, this thing has been flying around for some time now.\nInteresting... I asked because I have seen that assertion absolutely nowhere in the many articles I've read. EVERY source I have read stated it was custom. So, I was legitimately curious as to who (what source) said it wasn\u2019t.\nBK >> My personal view is that is was absurd for the couple to take this to court, they simply should have taken their business elsewhere.\nI know you can't read every comment (and don't expect you to); but I kind-of addressed that above.\nIt is well known, that these two men actively sought out a business they suspected would not honor their request. Their intent from day one; their intent the moment they stepped foot in that bakery was to file suit... to strike a blow for gay rights. Had the baker relented and agreed to bake the cake... they would have taken their business elsewhere until they found one who wouldn't.\nI only wish they had been stupid enough to try this with a Muslim establishment. Two gays in hiding with fatwas on their head\u2026 now that\u2019s entertainment.\nBK >> I dont know the specifics of what made this cake custom, but given what little we know, we will have to assume the court got it right.\nLMAO... that assumption is something I would never give. :) ... given their track record.\nBK >> For example, if the cake was custom, because they asked for a special kind of chocolate icing, or it was simply larger than usual, then probably the baker should have baked the cake.\nI completely disagree. Any action would have been in support of the sinful act of gay marriage. Any Christian who made a determination not to participate in any way would be right to do so.\nBK >> If it was custom, because it showed two guys kissing and celebrated their gay marriage, then I can understand him not baking the cake.\nYou are right that we don't know all the particulars... but sometimes the particulars aren't that important.\nI don't have to live in Rome and do as the Romans do to have an accurate and valid opinions that they are not people I want to deal with.\nBK >> That of course is just my opinion, not a legal one.\nAs is about 99.999% of everything written on this forum. :)\nJas the Mace Added Jun 15, 2018 - 5:57pm\nHow about we go back to posted signs that say \"we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone, for any reason\"\nDid you just have a stroke?\nOne, I still can\u2019t figure out why you care. You left the states a long time ago so you could get your freak on without getting arrested.\nTwo, all people do have rights. It\u2019s just taken us almost 250 years to get to this point. This country has a long history of oppressing minorities. When need to make sure that this no longer happens. Whatever your personal views on the subject we are talking (for the most part) about citizens who have rights. They shouldn\u2019t be denied them because of personal prejudice.\nLeroy, I\u2019m not sure that any of this works out for the best.\nWhat I would say is that the SC is correct, the baker applied his religious beliefs across the board, not just against the gay men. He never refused the men service, he simply didn\u2019t want to bake them a cake that clashed with his religious beliefs. I respect that. He has the right to believe as he wants.\nI also think that in this instance the narrowness of the ruling leaves this open so that it is not a blanket precedent.\nLynn, I find it truly frightening that you and I are agreeing so much.\nTamara Wilhite Added Jun 15, 2018 - 7:57pm\nPart of it is the unfair double standard of these so-called Civil Rights Commissions.\nThe same civil rights division rejected the case of a Christian customer who was denied service at another bakery.\nThat customer had requested a cake with a biblical message opposing same-sex marriage.\nDouble Standard Exposed in Colorado Cakes Case\nhttp://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/us/2015/April/Double-Standard-Exposed-in-Colorado-Cakes-Case\nOr various officials from the federal Obama admins to state level authorities saying don't you dare make the Muslim drive the beer truck, the Muslim taxi driver doesn't have to take the customer with wine, install foot baths for the taxi drivers, but any Christian symbols or accommodations are unacceptable. Demands that Muslims get prayer rooms on campus and openly proselytize but schools can penalize a student for expressing a Christian viewpoint and ban groups as \"hate speech\".\nIf the Muslim can decline the service per their faith, then fairness requires Christians can refuse, too.\nTamara, tell the whole story, please.\n\u201dWhile Jack argued that he had been discriminated against for being Christian, the department\u2019s decision said evidence showed Silva refused to bake the cakes because the customer\u2019s requests included \u201cderogatory language and imagery,\u201d according to 7 News Denver:\nThe baker said \u201cin the same manner [she] would not accept [an order from] anyone wanting to make a discriminatory cake against Christians, [she] will not make one that discriminates against gays,\u201d according to the decision.\n\u201cThe evidence demonstrates that [Silva] would deny such requests to any customer, regardless of creed.\u201d\nThe decision, according to 7 News Denver, noted that Silva is Catholic and employs multiple Christian and non-Christian employees.\u201d\nEssentially (and what Tamara didn\u2019t say) is that the man in question requested the baker put anti-gay derogatory messages on his cakes. She offered to bake the Bible shaped cakes but not put the derogatory messages on them.\n\u201dFor one thing, Silva says that she offered to accommodate Jack\u2019s request in a way that would not require her to write the words in question in her own hand. According to KDVR, Silva proposed that her bakery make the cake with a blank Bible page and provide Jack with the frosting and piping materials needed to write his anti-gay cake message on the dessert himself.\nUniversity of Denver law professor Nancy Leong told KUSA that the accommodation offer could actually matter here. \u201cThis is not a situation where a business owner denied service to somebody,\u201d Leong said. \u201cShe offered to accommodate him to the extent that she could.

THIS is our future.\nPardero >> Also, some places wouldn't have to fear turning away a group of MS13 members, for fear of a lawsuit...\nA related issue that also needs to be addressed. Our society is too litigious.\nPardero >> I have seen winos and derelicts refused service before. Nobody cared because they don't have a vocal identity constituency or semi-professional SJWs to raise hell on their behalf.\nAs have I...\nNot that we step up to the plate every time... but sometimes we Christians get it right.\nChick-fil-A manager gives homeless man a meal in exchange for a prayer\nEXPAT >> Early Christians would not accept the Emperor as a living GOD, threatening the stability of Rome. They had to go.\nI don't know how threatened the Romans felt by us (Christians)... but they certainly decided that we had to be brought to heel OR had to go.\nWith your example in mind... I'm sure devout Jews would also have refused to accept the Emperor as a living GOD... yet were no targeted as the Christians where. Why, would be an appropriate question.\nHeaven Help Me!... I'm about to agree with Jeffrey Kelly! JK\u2026 go check your blood pressure! Did you have a stroke or something! :)\nJK >> But no, businesses do not have the right to simply refuse service for someone because of race, religion, gender, etc...\nThat is the law. Whether or not the law should be changed is another debate. BUT... I actually think those legal protections in the past have served us (society) well. I'm just against expanding them further... to LGBT, for example.\nJK >> Yes, they can refuse service but it can\u2019t be because of the reasons I just gave.\nThus... you should be able to refuse service to MS13 because they are murderous thugs ... not because they are Hispanic.\nJK >> That is discrimination and this country has a horrible history with that.\nYes, we have. AND look how far we have come!\nJK >> Capitalism didn\u2019t solve it back then, it took government action to do so.\nAgain, I agree. I think capitalism could do it today, but only because all that progress is already behind us.\nJK >> But the difference is that the baker never refused to serve the men, he simply didn\u2019t want to bake them the wedding cake.\nExactly. This case centered on the custom, artistic service.\nJK >> I think in this one case because of some very specific actions taken by the owner I think this turned out all right.\nJeffery is rights in that the owner did not discriminate in the general products he had to sell.\nNow... that said. I think men should be able to discriminate on strictly moral grounds.\nAn example that comes to mind is that I not rent a house to a gay or transvestite simply because I don't want to expose my children or neighbors to such people. The same principle could apply to not renting said house to an unmarried couple, a promiscuous heterosexual man/woman, or an overt racist (KKK member or such like).\nJK >> Black people, homosexuals, women, men, Hispanics, Asians, whatever, people have certain rights Pardero.\nThe do... assuming black, Hispanic, and Asia represents on the basis of race; and men/women on the basis of sex.\nEven \"homosexuals\" have rights; the same as any other citizen... BUT secular society seeks to extend to them special rights (based on their lifestyles chosen) they should not have (marriage, force others to act against their faith).\nHopefully \"whatever\" includes Christians (a subset of \"on the basis of religion). And all the above rights of all the above groups does not extend to force a man/woman to act against their faith. NONE of the above people should be able to force a Jewish or Muslim caterer... to prepare and serve bacon wrapped shrimp (non-kosher) for their even/party... or any other faith (business or personal) to act against their beliefs.\nPardero >> I didn't mean that I would do such a thing. Part of me disagrees with myself. I don't burn flags, either, but it must be considered free speech, and allowed.\nWow... me siding with JK over Pardero! If I were Catholic... I'd have a lot of atonement to do.\nI definitely see free speech and freedom of association issues here. But those rights are not absolute, as in \"no yelling fire in a crowded theater\"... Reasonable restrictions are thus applicable... and I think public/business discrimination based on race, sex, religion, or national origin are one of those reasonable restrictions.\nNow... as for individuals... that doesn't apply (in my opinion).\nPardero >> I believe in minimal essential government.\nPardero >> The government does not belong in the charity business\nPardero >> ... and it does not belong forcing people to do business with those that they don't wish to.\n$%^&! Almost there (3 for 3). :)\nIt is in the business in protecting the rights of all\u2026 even those who would lose the vote.\nJK >> That is part of freedom and liberty. This keeps minorities from being oppressed.\nAND... that is right on the money as to why some such restrictions are applicable.\nNOW... with the understanding; that religious belief is just as high on that list as any other category.\nA Muslim businessman should be allowed to deny service for example to women who do not cover themselves... for example.\nRyan >> a grown adult saying \u201cOogah boogah\u201d.\nPlease don't feed or acknowledge the trolls. :)\nRyan >> An unjust law is no law at all.\nWell... I agree with you in spirit. It is a law that shouldn't be a law and one that we should fight and make every effort to overturn...\nRyan >> Already, 200 million Americans have been wiped out by abortion and contraception since 1965, conservatively!\nAnd here Ryan we are only in partial agreement... I'm not against private contraception while I am against abortion. Feel free to educate me on the former.\nLeroy >> Jeffrey, first let me say that you are right. Now let me suggest why the Supreme Court got it wrong. If the city council (I believe it was) hadn't been overtly anti-religious, the court would have ruled against the bakers. The court sent the message that it is ok to discriminate against religion; just keep your mouth shut.\nLeroy is right on the money. The SCOTUS paid a lot of attention in this ruling that the persecutors went overboard... suggesting (and I agree) if they had just minded their Ps and Qs this would have going the other way.\nLeroy >> Not only is the ruling extremely narrow, it sets the stage for the government to control religious owners.\nWe Christians aren't out of the woods yet on this issue by a long shot. In fact... in the long run this is likely to go against us at which point we'll really get a good dose of what the Romans did. Either we must act in such a way that we and are family's will suffer and be destitute... or conform to the world and deny our faith.\nThat is our future we have to look forward to.\nJtM >> How about we go back to posted signs that say \"we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone, for any reason\"\nIt's a nice idea... but holds little legal authority (if I'm not mistaken).\nJK >> Did you just have a stroke?\nI suspect the original author of \"Oogah boogah\" had a stroke years ago... based on lack of paragraphs and irrational ravings.\nJK >> This country has a long history of oppressing minorities. When need to make sure that this no longer happens. Whatever your personal views on the subject we are talking (for the most part) about citizens who have rights. They shouldn\u2019t be denied them because of personal prejudice.\nJK... quit making sense... you're scaring me.\nJK >> I also think that in this instance the narrowness of the ruling leaves this open so that it is not a blanket precedent.\nI little disagreement here... thank goodness.\nYou are right that the SC intentionally made this judgment very narrow so as to leave open restrictions in the future. I think Leroy has observed this as well.\nI would have felt a lot better had this been a broader judgment; allowing for Christians to deny participation for nothing other than religious belief. Until we have THAT ruling the likelihood of further persecution continues. Especially when you look at the actions of these dirt-bags on the Colorado Civil Rights Commission.\nJK >> Lynn, I find it truly frightening that you and I are agreeing so much. :)\nYou and me both, brother. You and me both! :)\nTamara W >> Part of it is the unfair double standard of these so-called Civil Rights Commissions.\nThank you, Tamara, for bringing this up. I was aware of it, but had not included it in my original post.\nWhat this proves is THIS is all about secular political power persecuting Christians. THAT is what ALL of this has been about from the beginning. It was the intent of the two gay men from the beginning... it was the intent of all the politicians and bureaucrats from the beginning.\nWe're lucky this time that the SCOTS helped justice prevail... but they made it very clear they can't necessarily be counted on next time. And given the hatred and determination of the left on this issue; we (Christians) are still on the defensive.\nTamara W >> The same civil rights division rejected the case of a Christian customer who was denied service at another bakery.\nThese people are real dirt-bag, leftist, hypocrites... but what do you want to bet there were no ramifications for their actions. Personally, I think they are liable for any and all losses the baker incurred.\nTamare W >> If the Muslim can decline the service per their faith, then fairness requires Christians can refuse, too.\nAnd I think they should be able to.\nThe double standard the left applies against Christians exposes their true motives and hypocrisy.\nGood exchange between you and Jeffrey K... thanks for picking up the slack in my absence.\n@TexasLynn:\nI\u2019m a smart cookie, Lynn. No matter what Ryan babbles.\nDepends. Being gay is not a handicap of some type...but then again neither is being black or a woman. I have no issues with extending protections to the LGBT but not to an excess. Being gay is not the same as a racial or gender bias.\nHow do you know a group of Hispanic men are members of MS-13? Would you require them to fill out a form before they could eat? Ask them to strip down to check them for weapons or tattoos? Would you require all patrons to do this or only the Hispanics? Do you see the issue with this yet? What about Italians? Should we require them to fill out a form asking them if they are members of organized crime, pat them down, etc.?\nWithout laws we would slip into old bad habits. It\u2019s human nature.\nThat\u2019s a very slippery slope, Lynn.\n\u201cAn example that comes to mind is that I not rent a house to a gay or transvestite simply because I don't want to expose my children or neighbors to such people.\u201d\nHow would you know someone is gay or transvestite?\n\u201cThe same principle could apply to not renting said house to an unmarried couple,\u201d\n\u201ca promiscuous heterosexual man/woman,\u201d\n\u201cor an overt racist (KKK member or such like).\u201d\nHhhhhhhmmmmm, oddly enough I disagree with you. It comes down to what do we consider overt racism. This probably deserves its own article.\nI don\u2019t object to gay marriage. I know you do and I understand why. I look at it in terms of practicality and on a legal basis. I consider a compromise to be a form of legal union that allows the spouse rights of inheritance and certain other rights that traditional marriages have. There are churches in my area that conduct gay marriages and others that do not. I\u2019m not hung up on biblical interpretations of what marriages are but I understand the religious objections to such things. This is why I favor the court\u2019s specific ruling in this matter.\nGot cut off but what I said was that each case needs to be examined on an individual basis.\nSort of feel weird admitting this.....\nI am personally against abortion in a moral sense. My feelings on this matter have only deepened since the birth of my two boys. My wife once asked me what would I want if she became pregnant when we hadn\u2019t planned it. I told her we would have a third child. She told me that she felt relieved when I said that. I couldn\u2019t bear the thought of having my wife go through something like that and I couldn\u2019t bear losing a child in that manner.\nMy own belief is that effective contraception is better than abortion any day and education is the key. If all else fails and an oops happens then adoption is better than putting a woman through an abortion.\nAll that being said it is not my body we are discussing and I can\u2019t get pregnant. I respect that women have a choice in this matter because in the end they deal with the consequences.\nWard Tipton Added Jun 16, 2018 - 6:58am\nAm I the only one here old enough to remember \"We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason\" was more than just a sign hanging in a bar?\nJohn Minehan Added Jun 16, 2018 - 10:50am\nLet me see:\n\"And a stranger shalt thou not oppress; for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.\" Exodus 23:9.\n\"And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.\" Mathew 25:40.\n\"What's the Big Deal?\" indeed.\n\"I recall a movie scene, where a social justice warrior type challenged a restaurant owner about not allowing Mexicans on the premises. A vicious fight ensued. The restaurateur was victorious, and dropped the 'we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone' sign on the loser.\"\nThe movie was Giant (1956).\nNeil Lock Added Jun 16, 2018 - 12:38pm\nLynn: Thanks for your considered replies. And yes... persecuting Christians for being Christians is wrong. As is persecuting Jews, Muslims, atheists or agnostics, or people of one race or another. At worst, it is just persecution for the sake of persecution. We can all think of examples.\nMy own take on this is that, firstly, every individual (and company) must have the freedom to discriminate as they see fit. However, any such discrimination must be made public in advance. \"We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason,\" in my view, isn't good enough. \"We will not serve drunkards, gays, Hispanics or people less than 6 feet tall\" would be fine, as long as it is adhered to in good faith. (And the height-meter at the door is accurate! :-) Of course, those who discriminate on grounds others find unreasonable, are vulnerable to tit for tat. Racists, for example, would be shunned by people like me, who don't care a damn about what colo(u)r someone's skin is, only how he or she behaves.\nThere's also an important distinction between serving people a product which is already made, and entering into a contract for a customized supply. It's much easier to justify discrimination in the latter than the former, and I guess that's what the court ruled on.\nJK >> Being gay is not the same as a racial or gender bias.\nExactly my position... and one the black community should push back on. Some do.\nJK >> How do you know a group of Hispanic men are members of MS-13?\nI had in mind local businesses who know who is a gang banger and who is not. Granted, outside that area; you wouldn't know.\nToo bad there isn't a MS-13 equivalent to gaydar. :)\nHow do you know a white man is a white man... I read history accounts (right after slavery ended) of black men who could pass for white. They left the community they originally lived in and where white from then on.\nAs I stated before, in researching one line of my genealogy... the further back we went, the darker we go. :) Of course, I'm a young, petite, prett, black woman... so that's hard to do. :P\nJK >> Without laws we would slip into old bad habits. It\u2019s human nature.\nA perfectly logical conclusion given human nature... let's just not find out.\nJK >> How would you know someone is gay or transvestite?\nGaydar works on transvestites as well.\nThe point being, that once I do know (or even suspect) it's my prerogative to show them the door.\nJK >> Why is this an issue (unmarried couple or promiscuous or racist)?\nBecause it is against my religion... The same as above applies as far as knowing. I may already know the person and their proclivity. Absent that, I may learn of it later.\nJK >> I don\u2019t object to gay marriage. I know you do and I understand why.\nI wish we had gone the route of \"civil unions\" but that genie is already out of the bottle.\nNot that we Christians and heterosexuals have done such a good job of holding up the idea of marriage ourselves.\nJK >> Got cut off but what I said was that each case needs to be examined on an individual basis.\nI not there except in the since that I want a broad precedent to be set by the SCOTUS to guide the lower courts and the bureaucrats.\nWe can't send every case to the SCOTUS. The bureaucrats have already proven they are incompetent to the task (as in this case)... and the lower courts aren't much better.\nJohn M, loved the Bible quotes.\nMark 12:29-31 (NIV) \u201cThe most important one (commandment),\u201d answered Jesus, \u201cis this: \u2018Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.\u2019 The second is this: \u2018Love your neighbor as yourself.\u2019 There is no commandment greater than these.\u201d\nTreat your fellow man as you would have them treat you.\nWith that in mind, I do not expect any man (whatever his faith) to deny that faith in service to me.\nNeil L >> Thanks for your considered replies.\nI try. :)\nNeil L >> And yes... persecuting Christians for being Christians is wrong.

However, any such discrimination must be made public in advance\u2026\nI get where you're coming from... and given the caveat (they must publicly announce their policy) I think this system would work for the most part... it would actually reduce discrimination.\nI can't say that I support it because I still have concerns of the majority oppressing the minority (see scenario below). BUT it would be better than a lot of other solutions I've heard.\nI will ask... how would you handle a large group pressuring companies (et al.) to discriminate against another group or face their wrath (a boycott at best)? I can easily see such scenarios getting out of hand. Again, the purpose of the republic was to check the tyranny of the majority.\nNeil L >> Of course, those who discriminate on grounds others find unreasonable, are vulnerable to tit for tat. Racists, for example, would be shunned by people like me, who don't care a damn about what colo(u)r someone's skin is, only how he or she behaves.\nThat is the key to the system working at all. My libertarian side is all for it... but my social conservative side dominants on such issues.\nLet me share this. When I was in Houston, the leftist city government put forth an ordinance that forbid smoking indoors for all businesses (that included restaurants and bars). I argued against the law, stating that it was an issue of property rights. I further argued that if a business wanted to require you to smoke to patronize their business... that was their right.\nPhilosophically, we're not too far off... I just need other issues (protecting minority constitutional rights) addressed first.\nSo... again... I see where you're coming from and appreciate your contribution to the discussion.\nNeail L >> There's also an important distinction between serving people a product which is already made, and entering into a contract for a customized supply. It's much easier to justify discrimination in the latter than the former, and I guess that's what the court ruled on.\nAbsolutely. And again, the baker in question was happy to serve these two gay men (and others) product already made. Just not to practice his \"art\" on behalf of their sin.\nYou are still a treasonist hypocrite, TraitorLynn, or you'd detract you article and links to that article where you want to break up the country you supposedly love. So which is it, hypocrite? And \"oogah boogah\" is so you'll see the tribal message and think it's about something you want to co-opt. Are you Texass tribe, or just another member of \"those good white people's tribe?\" I think Messano has met his match in a four star clown like you, TRAITORlynn\nWard Tipton Added Jun 16, 2018 - 10:27pm\n\"My own take on this is that, firstly, every individual (and company) must have the freedom to discriminate as they see fit.

The simple statement covers any and all objections and worked for a very long time.\nAs for government involvement in marriage ... a \"Civil\" wedding certificate that brings in the government as a third party?\nOn the one hand, a marriage is a religious undertaking wherein two people make their vows to each other in front of (their) God or god. What right does the government have to infringe on religious tradition?\nOn the other hand, marriage is a private contract between two individuals. What right does the government have to regulate a private transaction between two private citizens?\nWhen you give someone or thing(Climate) a RIGHT, you diminish the right of someone else to make their own decision.\nWhen you try to legislate Social Justice, you end up giving preference to those who cannot function in society, without help.\nYou may think this is good, but sooner or later, those with the ability to lead; those who are strongest in society, end up being suppressed, and overall society is less.\nI prefer alternatives to legislation. If Gay's want cakes, open a bakery for Gays. If women want equal pay, they should start a business, or refuse to work for less, and if Blacks do not get good service, they need to open a Black owned shop.\nI know this is more difficult than a police state, but it is permanent, as opposed to feel good legislation. Has discrimination gone away because of the 1964 Civil Rights Act? Are women now equal to men, because of Title 7 and 9?\nFreedom is not fair, or equal, but I find it preferable to millions of laws, and overburdened courts that take away property, wealth and even life, because someone else thinks it is justice!\nThis is a very good article on the cake artist, Jack Phillips. The left (and state of Colorado) has destroyed his life and should be held financially responsible. It's the only thing that will stop these little fascist from plying their trade.\nI Represent Christian Baker Jack Phillips.

Researchers determined that the chemicals were founded in the highest concentrations in the coral reefs that were the most frequented by tourists, and that they contributed to bleaching of the reefs, morphological deformities, DNA damage and endocrine disruption.\nThe good news: Many sunscreen manufacturers are already phasing out the two ingredients in favor of more natural alternatives.\nThe authors of the study estimated that 10 percent of global reefs are at risk of high exposure, and that the chemicals were found in seawater within the American coral reefs in concentrations as low as 62 parts per trillion \u2014 the equivalent of a drop of water in six-and-a-half Olympic-sized swimming pools \u2014 and as high as 1.4 parts per million, more than 12 times the amount that would damage coral.\nPrevious articleBack to Basics: Is Today Tomorrow?\nNext articleOhel\u2019s Annual Rosemil Golf Classic Includes Tennis Tournament",

Litigation can be expensive, time consuming, and frustrating. Luckily, there is an alternative that enables disputing parties to reach a resolution efficiently and with respect. Mediation makes it possible to settle a legal dispute without the hassle and damage of a courtroom battle.\nMediation can be used in a variety of circumstances, and is especially beneficial in matters of family and civil law. The process is communication based, and can be helpful in legal disputes where preserving an existing relationship is of importance. Mediators meet with disputing parties and discuss the issue at hand, as well as the advantages of negotiating and keeping the dispute out of the courtroom. Discussions can be held privately between the mediator and individual parties, as well as in a group setting to explore potential outcomes.\nDisputing parties are in complete control of their situation when using mediation to resolve a dispute in Connecticut. There is no need to worry about the outcome or whether or not a judge or jury will deliver a verdict that is disappointing to everyone involved. Mediation is not successful unless everyone involved agrees that a satisfactory resolution has been reached.\nFinally, because mediation is focused on teamwork, as opposed to winning or losing, important relationships can be preserved. The process is confidential and parties are free to speak openly and honestly with one another as they work toward a mutually beneficial resolution. In many instances, business and personal relationships are repaired or preserved because of the mediation process. Nobody walks away from the dispute feelings as though he or she has been taken advantage of or betrayed.\nOne of the most important keys to resolving a legal dispute through mediation in Connecticut (CT) is finding a skilled mediator. Want Mediator in CT \u2013 David Moore can help. He is an experienced attorney who understands the courtroom often does more harm than good. If you would like to know more or you are interested in scheduling a time to discuss your dispute and how mediation can play a role, contact David at 860.674.0122 or by email at dmoore@a1conflictresolver.com.",

        "title": "Wolf 503b is too Close to its Star - Absolute Knowledge",
        "raw_content": "Scientists found an exoplanet twice as big as Earth in the Virgo Constellation which orbits incredibly close to its host star.\nThe desire to find the habitable celestial body anywhere else (other than the Earth) in the universe has urged astronomers to go beyond their limits. The emergence of advanced telescopes like the Hubble and the Kepler Space Telescope has revolutionized the field of space exploration. Kepler has single-handedly discovered more than 2,500 confirmed exoplanets. Similarly, it found more than 5,000 possible candidates that may belong to the category of exoplanets. Recently, it added another outstanding achievement in its list of discoveries by observing an exoplanet at a distance of 145 light years from the Earth.\nAn international team of researchers used the data from the Kepler Space Telescope of NASA to reveal that the exoplanet, called Wolf 503b, lies in the Virgo constellation and is twice as big as our planet. The team comprising on scientists from the United States, Germany, and Canada figured out that it takes only 6 days for the exoplanet to orbit its host star. This means that it is incredibly close to its parent (According to an estimate, it is 10 times closer than Mercury is to Sun). Merrin Peterson, a Graduate Student at the Institute for Research on Exoplanets (iREx) of the Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al (UdeM) who is also the Lead Author of this study, explained their findings in the following words:\n\u201cThe discovery and confirmation of this new exoplanet was very rapid, thanks to the collaboration that I and my advisor, Bj\u00f6rn Benneke, are a part of. In May, when the latest release of Kepler K2 data came in, we quickly ran a program that allowed us to find as many interesting candidate exoplanets as possible. Wolf 503b was one of them.\u201d\nTalking about the working mechanism, she mentioned that they began by obtaining a spectrum of the host star. They found that the star under observation was an old \u2018Orange Dwarf\u2019 which is twice as old as our Sun and is a bit less luminous. They were also able to precisely determine the radii of both the star and its orbiting partner, in this phase. They used the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility for this purpose. Once all of this was done, they were now ready to characterize whether the orbiting companion was an exoplanet or not.\nIn order to make certain deductions, the researching team collected the data of adaptive optics measurements from the Palomar Observatory. In addition to that, they also analyzed the archival data to confirm that there was neither a transiting planet around the star nor were there any binary stars in the background. For sake of their experiment, the researchers used a program which identifies distinct, periodic dips that are visible in the light curve of a star when a celestial object passes in front of it. The findings showed that there are two exciting things about this exoplanet.\nThe first interesting thing about Wolf 503b is its size. All the data gathered by the Kepler Space Telescope has shown that the size of most of the planets in our galaxy lies between the size of Earth and Neptune. Knowing that a recent research showed that there are only a few planets that are 1.5 to 2 times bigger than Earth. According to that study, this range (the Fulton gap) is generally used to categorize planets into two types. Bj\u00f6rn Benneke, a member of iREx and CRAQ who also serves as a Professor at the UdeM, talked about that and said,\n\u201cWolf 503b is one of the only planets with a radius near the gap that has a star that is bright enough to be amenable to more detailed study that will better constrain its true nature. It provides a key opportunity to better understand the origin of this radius gap as well as the nature of the intriguing populations of \u2018super-Earths\u2019 and \u2018sub-Neptunes\u2019 as a whole.\u201d\nThe closeness of the Wolf 503b to its host star is the second reason of interest about this exoplanet. This makes it extremely bright and places it among the primary targets of the James Webb Space Telescope. Transit Spectroscopy will be used to study the chemical composition of the planet\u2019s atmosphere. It will help researchers to conclude whether it resembles Earth or Neptune. It will not be a surprise if it turns out to be completely different from the planets of our solar system. Peterson showed great intent about further exploration by saying,\n\u201cBy investigating the nature of Wolf 503b, we\u2019ll understand more about the structure of planets near the radius gap and more generally about the diversity of exoplanets present in our galaxy. I look forward to learning more about it.\u201d\nBj\u00f6rn Benneke, earth, Fulton gap, James Webb Space Telescope, Kepler Space Telescope, Merrin Peterson, NASA Infrared Telescope Facility, Neptune, Orange Dwarf, Transit Spectroscopy, Wolf 503b",

[The Department of Energy] started it, and other people took the ball and ran with it. You cannot diminish DOE\u2019s involvement.\u201d\nAccording to the Associated Press, Washington contributed more than $100 million in research to develop fracking, as well as billions of dollars more in tax breaks.\nThe DOE began funding research into fracking and horizontal drilling in 1975, and five years later, lawmakers approved an important tax break to encourage \u201cunconventional\u201d natural gas drilling. Among the most important government contributions was the development by government scientists of micro-seismic (3D) mapping, which is known in the industry as \u201cfrack mapping.\u201d\nFederal subsidies for the oil and natural gas industry began in 1916.\nNew Investigation Finds Decades of Government Funding Behind Shale Revolution (by Ted Nordhaus, Michael Shellenberger, Alex Trembath and Jesse Jenkins, The Breakthrough)\nDecades of Federal Dollars Helped Fuel Gas Boom (by Kevin Begos, Associated Press)\nPositive University Study on Fracking Was Led by a Gas Company Insider (by Noel Brinkerhoff, AllGov)",

As the city has two names that come from the two ethnic groups, Bobo and Dioula, that is how the city, as well as the mosque received their names.\nBuilt in a Sudanese architectural style, it is comprised from laterite, clay and sheabutter which construction began in 1870. The construction of the Grand Mosque lasted for 10 years, and finally in 1880 it was finished and still today is in good condition thanks to the regular maintenance.\nThe Bobo-Dioulasso Grand Mosque is comprised of two large minarets which allow the people who could climb them to see the surroundings, as well as, there are 65 supporting pillars which are organized in corridors that intersect from where they are forming a veritable checkerboard. The mosque as a whole is organized in three different parts. In the first one, which is outside under a canopy is the place where only young women and girls gather to pray.\nIn the past, the women were not allowed to enter the mosque, but as the time changes the rules have changed too, and as one goes inside the mosque, it could be seen that the first two rows are reserved for older women who have already finished with the maternity or perhaps went to Mecca.\nThe next seven rows are reserved specifically just for the men, where the back row is only for those who are of great importance and are there to help the Imam. In total, the mosque can accommodate over 800 people, which makes it one of the bigger ones in that part of the continent.\nAs previously stated, the mosque is in very good shape due to the regular repairs, and whenever in the rainy season some damages are to be seen on the mosque, immediately those are being fixed. The two minarets are holding rooms, and there are 4 rooms for the women and 5 rooms for the men who are using them as a retreat in silence and without companions. The whole mosque is covered with a flat terrace where one can follow the interior architecture through the earth rods which are punctuating the space.\nStill serving as a proof that buildings can last for a longer period if protected and repaired on regular basis, this Grand Mosque is definitely the pride of Burkina Faso\u2019s second largest city, and most likely it is one of the major tourist spots for the foreigners visiting the city.",

        "raw_content": "The Amity Baptist Church exists to assist persons in experiencing the saving and redemptive power of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amity also exists to engage persons as disciples of Jesus Christ; empower persons to develop Christ like character; educate persons in the truth that is found in the Word of God; and to equip persons for a lifetime of service to God.\nA Baptist Mission was founded in a store at the corner of Prospect and Pacific Streets, now known as 159th Street and 109th Avenue, on February 27, 1916. The organizers were Rev. J. Wilson, Mrs. Helen Merrill, Mrs. Catherine Allen and Mrs. J.W. Wilson felt that a Baptist Church was much needed in the south side of Jamaica. Rev. Brodie preached the first sermon at 3 P.M. and Brother Samuel Ellis and Sister Susan Ellis offered prayer. Rev. James Ellison preached the evening sermon. On March 17, 1916 the Mission was organized as the Amity Baptist Church of Jamaica. On April 13, 1916 at a regular church meeting, Rev. Wilson was called as the first pastor of the Amity Baptist Church. A council was called to consider the recognition of the church and at a meeting held on May 16, 1916, a motion was made by Rev. James Ellison, seconded by Rev. Lee and carried to extend the right hand of fellowship to the Amity Baptist Church. Rev. Lucas of Ebenezer Baptist Church of Flushing presided as the Moderator. Membership at the time was eighteen. After its recognition, Rev. Frederick of Jamaica gave the charge to the church and Rev. H.T. Baton of Shiloh Baptist Church of Jamaica charged the Officers. On June 11, 1916, this newly recognized group joined the New England Convention raising their fee by donations from members. Rev. J. Wilson served as pastor until March 18, 1917.\nOn March 18, 1917, upon vacancy of the pulpit, a call was extended to Rev. James Ellison to become the second pastor of the Amity Baptist Church. After prayerful consideration Rev. Ellison accepted the call. Under the leadership of Rev. Ellison the church moved to larger quarters in the home of Mrs. Helen Merrill on Norris Avenue, on July 16, 1917. Due to a growing membership the first building fund program was begun and $1,500.00 was raised for future expansion. Rev. S.A. Hersey was called as an assistant pastor to serve while Rev. Ellison was away raising money for the church. A committee was then appointed to look for a site for the church. Appointed to the committee were Sisters McNicols, Archer, and Thomas, Brother Wilson and Rev. Ellison.\nOn August 20, 1917 at a regular meeting a motion was made and carried to establish Deacon and Trustee Board, as they were much needed. Appointed as Deacons were Peter Archer, George O. Cox and Charles Stovall. Appointed as Trustees were G.D. Staton, William Cox and C.F. Wilson.\nThe Church Sunday School was organized on February 15, 1918 and its first Acting Superintendent was Mrs. A.H. Thomas and its Treasurer Mrs. S. Ellis.\nOn April 16, 1918 the church was incorporated and the following Trustees elected: Frances Cox, Mary Reaves, Georgie Wilson, William Cox, Peter J. Archer and Lucy Archer.\nOn May 28, 1918, a call was extended to Rev. Plummer Alston as assistant pastor, pending the resignation of Rev. Ellison. Rev. Alston was elected as the third pastor of Amity Baptist Church on July 1, 1918. On October 10, 1918 the Missionary Circle was organized as follows: Lucy Archer, President; Phoebe Jasper, Vice-president; Georgie Wilson, Secretary; Mary Reaves, Treasurer; Frances Cox, Chaplain. The first organist was Josephine Campbell and the first Church Clerk was Lucy Cox. Rev. Alston served until September 11, 1919.\nOn October 22, 1919 a call was extended to Rev. B.E. Simmons to become the fourth pastor of the Amity Baptist Church. He accepted the call. The church at this time was unable to pay a pastor and Rev. Simmons agreed to serve until they could pay him, as he was interested in the work of the church. The church having out-grown their place of worship came together and purchased the property at 174 Washington Street, now known as 160th Street which is the present site of South Jamaica Housing office. Amity, with less than 200 members remodeled the building, transforming it into a beautiful edifice at a cost of $2,000.00. On November 14, 1920 the Odd Fellows of Jamaica laid the cornerstone and Amity had its first real house of worship. During these years of steady growth, a membership that was unable to pay Rev. Simmons when he first accepted the church, increased its giving, organized church auxiliaries, liquidated two mortgages, and continued to grow in the grace of the Lord. Rev. Simmons served faithfully until his resignation on September 6, 1928.\nOn September 6, 1928 a call was extended to Rev. James R. Moore, who had been serving as the assistant pastor of Union Baptist Church of New York City under the pastorate of Rev. G. Sims, to become the fifth pastor of Amity Baptist Church. The call was taken under consideration by Rev. Moore, and after a short while he accepted the call in November 1928. Rev. Moore moved to Jamaica to take full charge of the church. The church took on new life, increasing both its membership and finances. The edifice, which so nobly served for many years, could no longer accommodate its members and friends, with many regrettably having to be turned away.\nUnder the leadership of Rev. James R. Moore, a youthful and energetic young pastor, the alarm was again sounded, \u201croom, room, more room, that all may enter in.\u201d A new building committee was appointed and the Pastor and officers came together to map out a course of action. The trustees were authorized to locate a suitable site and were instructed to sell current property.\nThe little church, dear to the hearts of so many, passed from Amity\u2019s hands on February 5, 1931 to the Greater New York Seventh Day Adventist. Through the efforts of Deacon C. E. Stovall, a most beautiful site was procured on the corner of 108th Avenue and Brooklyn Avenue, presently known as 164th Place/Rev. James R. Moore Place, which serves as Amity\u2019s current location. On June 7, 1931 amid pomp and splendor with bands playing and banners waving, ground was broken and the cornerstone for the new building was laid by the Masons of Jamaica. Due to the war and the depression, there was a delay in completing the building however, these events did not hinder our progress. Sixty members of the church served in our country\u2019s Armed Forces during World War II. During that time we were continually praying for the time to come when these members would be in our midst again. Thanks be to God, our prayers were answered. The first unit of the church costing $18,000 was paid for between 1932 and 1941 and $35,000 toward the completing of the building was on hand.\nIn 1944, the property directly across from the church was purchased, which became the Parsonage. The beginning of 1945 the plot of land adjoining our church was purchased with hopes of building a Community House.\nIn June 1946 the church moved its worship services to 106-54 160th Street, until completion of site located on 108th Avenue and 164th Place. Many discouraging predictions had been made that we would never return to our present location. However, souls were continually added to the membership. The limited space seemed to bring a firmer and warmer fellowship with one another. Pastor Moore kept the membership informed of the progress being made on the new structure and he continually asked and prayed for ongoing support and loyally to the building program.\nBy mid-September we were able to return to our quarters on 108th Avenue. As winter set in, Amity members suffered many hard trials. Through such a test, there was spiritual warmth that existed that could not be denied, even though many of the members had left leaving the responsibility of building fund raising to the faithful few.\nAt the close of Sunday morning services on May 14, 1947, in an atmosphere seasoned with fervent prayer, and with the assistance of the Baptist Church Extension Society of Brooklyn and Queens (American Baptist Churches), and the Queens Federation of Churches, the Amity Baptist Church was able to secure its first mortgage for this site through Richmond Hills Savings Bank. This bank, in granting the mortgage to Amity, effected as commitment from Pastor Moore that he would remain pastor of Amity throughout the life of the mortgage.\nThe congregation moved into the new sanctuary in the spring of 1948 and officially dedicated it in 1950. On May 5, 1961 the last mortgage on the present sanctuary was burned. The membership at this time was 1,400. Under the leadership of Rev. Moore the church continued to forge ahead fulfilling the spiritual needs of the community and desirous of erecting a community center to serve the needs of the community. As the church continued to grow spiritually and numerically under Rev. Moore\u2019s pastorate the church also sponsored the following groups: Church Sunday School, B.T.U., Cub Pack, Adult Clubs, Home and Foreign Mission Society, Leadership Training Classes, College Scholarship Fund, First Aid Unit, Music Department and Men\u2019s Club. In anticipation of completion of Community House other prospective groups to be enacted were an Athletic Association, Pre-School Nursery, Inter-Racial Forum, Social Service Commission, Home Maker\u2019s Class, Christian Voters League, Christian Business and Professional Men\u2019s Club, Week-Day School of Religious Education, Youth Fellowship Council and Negro History Club. Under the leadership of Pastor Moore, Amity was truly a beacon light in the community. Rev. Moore served until he was called home in 1983 after 55 years of pastoral leadership at the Amity Baptist Church.\nAfter two years of laboring, through prayer, guidance of the Holy Spirit and instructions from the late Rev. James R. Moore, the church elected Rev. Dwight McCauley Jackson as its sixth pastor in September 1985. Subsequently, Pastor Jackson accepted the call to the Amity Baptist Church and was installed as its under shepherd in April 1986.\nUnder the leadership of Pastor Dwight McCauley Jackson over 1,000 souls were brought to Christ and the first female minister was ordained \u2013 Rev. Jean Cumberbatch-Williams. The following ministries were organized/reorganized: DayTime/Christ Time; Amity Baptist Church Bible Institute in 1987; Resurged the Men\u2019s Council; New Members Church Sunday School Class; Human Service Commission; Sanctioned the institution of the Arts, Heritage & Culture Forum; Expanded Summer Vacation Bible School and Day Camp; Youth Summer Exposure Program; Ongoing Bulletin Board; Land Acquisition; Accounting Committee; After-school Tutorial Program; Friday Night Youth Ministry; Progressive Ushers; Spiritual Link; Amity Church Choir; Amity Men\u2019s Choir; Amity Church Ushers; Long Range Planning Committee; Leadership Training.\nThrough continued guidance from the Holy Spirit and committed skillful leadership from Pastor Jackson, the church continued to grow. On July 22, 2002 our Heavenly Father called Pastor Jackson home. To God be the Glory for our rich heritage and the wisdom of Pastor Jackson for the growth of Christian life in the church and in the community.\nOnce again Amity was in need of an under shepherd and the call was extended to Rev. Dwight Early Shanklin who accepted the call in October 2003 and was installed as the seventh pastor on March 21, 2004. Under Pastor Shanklin\u2019s leadership the James R. Moore Annex was dedicated. He continued leadership training classes for Deacons, Deaconesses and Trustees. He was instrumental in paving the way for the women of Amity to fellowship with the Ebenezer A.M.E. Church of Fort Washington, Maryland at its annual Women\u2019s Spiritual Retreat. Rev. Shanklin remained as pastor until May 1, 2006.\nIn March 2008, The Amity Baptist Church extended the call to Reverend Jeffery Shawn Thompson, then serving as Associate Pastor of The Concord Baptist Church of Christ of Brooklyn, NY, under Dr. Gary V. Simpson, to serve as its eighth Pastor. He assumed the Pulpit on the 2nd Sunday of April 2008 and was installed Sunday, November 2, 2008.\nPastor and people, working together, assisted the Constitution and By-Laws Committee in revising, for the first time since 1928, the Constitution and By-Laws of the Amity Baptist Church, which included the uniting of Deacon and Deaconess Boards under a unified Diaconate Ministry Under the dissolution of the Pulpit Committee, Pastor Thompson instituted a Pastoral Relations Committee. He also instituted a Children\u2019s Ministry. Having recently completed his third year as Pastor of Amity Baptist Church, Pastor Thompson also serves as a Trustee of the Eastern Baptist Association of New York; and as Area Vice President (Queens) for the E.B.A. Congress of Christian Education; and also serves on the Board of Directors of Queens Federation of Churches, an Ecumenical Ministry in Queens County, New York.\nAs we celebrate this anniversary and continue \u201cBuilding Upon 95 years of Worshipping, Witnessing, and Working for the Kingdom\u201d, let us as Pastor and people be united and on one accord as we continue this great legacy by forging ahead as Amity endeavors to remains a beacon of light in the Jamaica community living out our mission as the \u201cChrist-Centered Church for Community-Centered Living.\u201d",

Many of us simply grab a stack of paper napkins and don\u2019t even use all of them, then throw them away. Several brands of napkins and paper towels can\u2019t be recycled because their fibers are too short.\nOn average Americans use (and dispose of) 500 million plastic straws each day, and many of those end up in our oceans, where they pose great danger to animals like sea turtles.\nIn a single year, Americans throw away nearly 25 billion Styrofoam cups \u2026 and when you add in the statistics for plastic and paper cup usage, the numbers are just staggering. If you use one disposable cup each day, you\u2019ll create 23 pounds of non-recyclable waste by the end of the year. To lessen your impact, get an environmentally friendly cup or bottle for your office, one for your commute and one for your trips to the gym.\nModern chewing gum is not biodegradable because it\u2019s made with \u2013 it sounds scary, but it\u2019s true \u2013 synthetic rubber. So when you spit it out (hopefully not out your car window or on the sidewalk), you\u2019re just putting plastic into the environment. Opt for the mints instead!\nIt takes about 1,850 gallons of water to produce a pound of ground beef, whereas it only takes about 39 gallons of water to produce the same weight in vegetables. Going meat-free just once a week helps conserve water and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. If you\u2019re concerned about protein, remember that nuts, seeds, beans and tofu are great sources.\nAbout a third of all seafood purchased in the United States has been mislabeled, and only about 2 percent of the seafood imported into this country is inspected. To help stay educated about your seafood choices, download the Seafood Watch app so you have a mobile \u201ccheat sheet\u201d when you\u2019re at a restaurant or in the grocery store.\nIt\u2019s not always necessary to preheat your oven, though it\u2019s very important when making breads or pastries. If you\u2019re cooking a casserole or baking potatoes, it\u2019s an unnecessary step. You should also unplug kitchen appliances \u2013 coffee makers, microwaves and blenders \u2013 when they\u2019re not in use.\nIt\u2019s annoying for you or your dining companion to be checking emails or Facebook, texting, or playing a game while you\u2019re trying to enjoy a meal together. So actually be together during the meal, and just power down the electronics. Even better, get out and enjoy nature with an after-dinner walk-and-talk session.\nGrocery stores have figured it out, and many now label local foods so you know you\u2019re keeping things close to home. To go super-local, try your hand at a small garden this year. Just imagine the bragging rights you\u2019ll have with those big, juicy tomatoes!\nHere's to a happy and healthy 2016!\nresolutions, conservation, tips, health, conservation-tips",

        "raw_content": "Plastics Manufacturer GOEX Corp. Opening Manufacturing Facility in Janesville, Wisconsin\nGoing Beyond Traditional Metrics in the Site Location Process to Find a Perfect \u201cFit\u201d\nGOEX Corp., a manufacturer of plastic sheet products, is more than doubling the size of its operations in Janesville, Wisconsin, as part of a project expected to create about 30 new jobs and retain 130 existing ones.\nThe company has outgrown its existing 70,000-square-foot building and construction is under way on a new 190,000-square-foot facility on 29 acres on Janesville\u2019s north side. The building is expected to be completed by the spring of 2015.\n\u201cWhen the time came to look for a new manufacturing site, we looked at other communities and other states,\u201d said GOEX President Joshua Gray. \u201cWe have an exceptional workforce in Janesville and Rock County, and preferred to stay here if at all possible. WEDC and the tax credit program was one positive component to our decision to relocate here.\u201d\nThe Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation authorized up to $655,000 in tax credits over three years to support the project. The tax credits will be distributed annually based on the number of new, full-time positions created during that time and the amount of capital investment the company will make in the project.\n\u201cWEDC has been very active in working with Rock County companies to help them expand, and we are pleased to add GOEX to that list,\u201d said Reed Hall, Secretary/CEO of WEDC, the state\u2019s lead economic development organization. \u201cSince 2012, WEDC has approved nearly $6 million in awards for Rock County companies that are expected to help create or retain more than 1,200 jobs.\u201d\nThe City of Janesville also provided GOEX with $594,000 in assistance through a Tax Incremental Financing District. \u201cThe city worked very diligently with the WEDC to develop a competitive package that allowed GOEX to maintain and expand its operations in the community,\u201d said Ryan Garcia, economic development coordinator for the City of Janesville. \u201cThis project was an excellent example of collaboration between the city, state and a local company to ensure its continued presence and future success in Wisconsin.\u201d\n\u201cFor more than 20 years, GOEX has been a key employer in Janesville, and I applaud the company\u2019s decision to remain and grow in the city,\u201d said Governor Scott Walker. \u201cGOEX\u2019s continued growth\u2014so much so that it has run out of room at its existing plant\u2014is another indication of the continued strength of Wisconsin\u2019s manufacturing industry.\u201d\n\u201cThis project provides another visible example of the deep and strong manufacturing roots that exist within the Janesville-Beloit metro area,\u201d added James R. Otterstein, economic development manager of the Rock County Development Agency. \u201cAdditionally, it reinforces the critically important roles that public/private partnerships play within today\u2019s competitive economic development arena.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Jackson Lately\nJackson is only a month away from being 3!! Where in the world has the time gone. He is SO much fun right now. I just love all the funny things he says and does and I love experiencing new things with him that he's never seen or done before. :-)\nHe is now fully potty-trained (except we still put a pull up on him at night)! I can't tell you how happy I am about that. It actually went much easier than I thought. We had tried while I was on maternity leave with Avery, and though he knew when he needed to go and knew what to do, he just didn't want to do it. He did not want to go on the potty, so we took that as a sign that he just wasn't quite ready. However, back on July 27th, I asked him if he wanted to wear underwear when he got out of the bath that night and he said yes and he's been doing well ever since with only a couple of accidents. :-) Going number 2 took a little longer for him to get comfortable with, but I think we can say without any doubt that he is officially potty trained!!!\nFunny things he's said lately:\nMagic House: \"Monster House\"\nOctopus: \"Papapus\"\nMedicine: \"Mecidine\"\nToys: \"Koys\"\n1, 2, 3 Jump: \"One, Two, Free Gump\"\n\"My Big Strong\" which means he's a big boy. I had him and Avery in my arms one night and said, \"awe, my two babies\" and Jackson says, \"my not a baby, my big strong.\" Ha!\nHe's also started saying, \"my had it first\" which he's apparently heard from an older cousin or another kid at school. Ugh.\nOne night last week while I was giving him and Avery a bath, He said \"I love you\" for the first time on his own. He's said it back to us if we've said it to him, but he was playing in the bath that night and looked up from playing and said \"Mommy, I love you\" all on his own. And then my heart exploded!! Boy do I love hearing those 3 little words come out of his mouth. \u2665\nHe is now obsessed with band-aids. If he gets any little boo boo, it has to have a kiss and a band-aid! We might need to buy a few more boxes of them so we have plenty on hand. Ha. I've told him he only needs a band-aid if it's bleeding, but he doesn't agree. Ha.\nWhen we're in the car, he often asks where we're going and for example, if we're headed home he asks \"where is it\"? So no answer is good enough until we give him play by play directions. \"Well we will make a left up here and then go a ways and make a right, then another left and then we'll be home.\" It cracks me up that that is the answer he's looking for. I will say, he does have a pretty good sense of direction and knows the exit off the highway to several places that we frequent. He also has told family/friends in the car with us where his doctor's office is and where his school is if we've passed them along the way. :-)\nHe still loves playing with cars, trucks, trains and pretty much anything with wheels. He has also started to like playing with dinosaurs and action figures. We heard him the other day playing with his cars. He was making the cars say hi to one another and have a conversation together. It was the cutest thing ever. His new favorite show is Peppa Pig and he has started to like Jake and the Neverland Pirates more lately. He also likes Ninja Turtles now and Sheriff Callie a lot as well.\nThere is a commercial on Disney Jr. that shows a little girl going to Disney World. It shows Cinderella's Castle at the Magic Kingdom and now Jackson constantly says he wants to go to the Castle! I literally can't wait to take him there as it's one of the happiest places on earth and I love it so much. So we are thinking that while we're in Phoenix in late Jan., we may take a little drive to Disneyland so he can see the castle. I really hope we can make it happen because he will be so excited! He usually asks at least once a day if we can go to the castle. Ha. :-)\nHe's wearing size 4T clothes and size 9 shoes. He's growing like a weed!\nI think that just about catches you up with what Jackson's been up to lately. He's getting so big and growing up so much. He's such a sweet boy and we adore him to pieces!! \u2665\nI adore that first picture!\nHe seems like quite the little ham! :) What a cutie!\nDon't you wish life came with a pause button?!? He is so cute and getting so big!\nYAYYYY for being potty trained! Such a great feeling when they hit that milestone!\nThis age is *so* much fun. I love how interactive they are, how observant they are, and how much they want to learn.",

        "raw_content": "We\u2019ve just found the hottest gas giant ever\nThis planet gives \u201chot Jupiter\u201d a whole new meaning.\nBy Alison Klesman | Published: Tuesday, June 06, 2017\nKELT-9b is the hottest gas giant ever detected. It orbits a hot, young star more than twice as massive as our Sun\nAstronomers with the Kilodegree Extremely Little Telescope(s) (KELT) survey have just announced an amazing find: the hottest gas giant ever discovered. In fact, the planet is so hot that it\u2019s hotter than most stars, and it\u2019s only a few thousand degrees cooler than our own Sun.\nThe planet, KELT-9b, is about three times the mass of Jupiter and twice its size. Its discovery was announced by B. Scott Gaudi of The Ohio State University and Karen Collins of Vanderbilt University at a press conference Monday afternoon at the 230th Meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Austin, Texas. \u201cWe are very excited today to announce the discovery of KELT-9b \u2026 a gas giant planet hotter than most stars. And I want to emphasize that\u2019s not a typo,\u201d Collins said during the press conference. She went on to explain that KELT-9b is so hot because of its sun, \u201cthe brightest, hottest, most massive known transiting gas giant planet host star.\u201d Concurrent with the announcement, the work was also published online as a letter in Nature.\nThat host star is roughly 2.5 times the mass of our Sun, and is rotating so quickly (about once a day) that it\u2019s more of a flattened egg shape than a sphere, like the planet Saturn. Every time KELT-9b transits across the face of its sun, the light coming from the star drops by only one half of one percent. The star, which is a hot, blue star, radiates not only in the optical, but also puts out huge amounts of ultraviolet (UV) light. Its massive output, coupled with KELT-9b\u2019s close proximity, boosts the temperature on the planet\u2019s day side to about 7,800 degrees Fahrenheit (4,300 Celsius). Because the planet is tidally locked, the same side always faces its parent star; astronomers currently think that the night side is much cooler, due to the atmosphere\u2019s poor ability to transfer heat from the broiling day side to the rest of the planet. But even still, that \u201ccool\u201d side is hot: \u201cThe night side would probably look like a red dwarf to our eyes,\u201d Gaudi said at the press conference.\nFurthermore, KELT-9b is orbiting its star perpendicular to the host\u2019s axis of rotation. That means rather than circling in the same plane as the star\u2019s equator, as our planets circle the Sun, KELT-9b flies over its parent star\u2019s north and south poles with every 1.5-day orbit it completes. This odd orbit, Gaudi said, likely precesses as well, which means the planet may stop transiting its sun as seen from Earth within about 150 years, depending on the rate of this precession. Astronomers would then have to wait several thousand years before transits could be seen again.\nKELT-9b orbits perpendicular to its star's rotation axis, meaning it swings over its sun's north and south poles, rather than circling its equator.\nBut one of the oddest things about KELT-9b may be the fact that it\u2019s evaporating. Its parent star puts out so much UV radiation (700 times more than the UV radiation imparted on any other known gas giant) that \u201cthe planet is almost certainly being evaporated by the high-energy photons,\u201d explained Gaudi. Although there is no firm measurement of how fast it\u2019s losing gas, Gaudi went on to say that KELT-9b could be shedding its atmosphere at a rate between 10 billion and 10 trillion grams per second. As a result, the planet likely sports a comet-like tail as it zips around its sun.\nWhether the planet will fully evaporate before its host star expands into its red giant phase is still up in the air. Either way, Keivan Stassun, part of the discovery team and a professor of physics and astronomy at Vanderbilt University, said in an accompanying press release, \u201cThe long-term prospects for life, or real estate for that matter, on KELT-9b are not looking good.\u201d\nMaybe not, but the system is still intriguing and, as of right now, unique. \u201cIt\u2019s going to be a great system for us to study with HST, Spitzer, and eventually [the] James Webb Space Telescope, not to mention ground-based facilities.\u201d said Gaudi. \u201cWe\u2019re really looking forward to trying to characterize the properties of this planet and understand it better.\u201d\nThe KELT survey focuses primarily on bright stars because the telescopes it uses are small. Half of its target stars are both hotter and more massive than the Sun, a parameter space not typically explored by other exoplanet searches. Thus, KELT-9b may only be the first of many extremely hot gas giants this survey turns up.",

        "raw_content": "Kicking Goals in Worldwide Sporting Event Protection\nFootball fans all over the world were recently entertained with one of the biggest sporting events in the world. The soccer World Cup occurs every four years and is an exciting spectacle for viewers all around the globe.\nIt begs the same question every four years, what is the host country doing in terms of security to protect its own civilians and tourists visiting the country?\nThere are certain implementations which can be used to protect innocent civilians against different hazards. One such implementation which provides protection are Australian Bollards\u2019 VBIED bollards which act as a barrier against vehicle attacks.\nBollard installations can be highly effective in protecting civilians, but they have the downfall of being unappealing visually. Australian Bollards value a soft approach to hard security and has created aesthetically pleasing alternatives to protecting patrons.\nAustralian Bollards VBIED designer bollards pictured above are just one example of how organisers of different sporting events such as the Australian Open, AFL Grand Final or Big Bash Cricket events can protect patrons whilst still putting high importance on aesthetics.\nAlthough the face of the bollard appears fun and happy, there is much more behind them, 1.5 tonne to be exact. The weight and fixture of the bollard allows for protection against hostile vehicle attacks, placing importance on both appearance and safety.\nThe VBIED bollards provide for functionality on many different levels. The appearance of these bollards allows the landscape of the area to be modernised. The bollards can also allow for lighting, seating and to reduce congestion in busy areas.\nAnother element to these bollards is that they allow patrons to feel comfortable. Less visually appealing alternatives such as concrete bollards may make patrons feel as though there is an associated risk with being in the area.\nHowever, more permanent and visually appealing alternatives make the space appeal as though it has attained different pieces of art.\nAlong with using these alternatives on a global scale and in big events, Australian Bollards has a vision to install many of these VBIED bollards on our home front in Australia.\nStadiums such as Adelaide Oval, Etihad Stadium, the MCG and many more may be benefited from the installation. Not only would this allow for Australian citizens to be protected at sporting events, but it would allow for our Australian landscape to maintain its beautiful nature.\nIf you are interested in Australian bollards soft approach to hard security, do not hesitate to contact us on (03) 9459 3488 or look at our website.",

        "raw_content": "Didn't know that. Yes, it's a serious comedy, isn't it?\nI did know that about the interviewees, and it's the main thing that's held me off from seeing the movie. It seems as if knowing that these were real fired people would make it all just unbearable to watch. I take it that that's not the case?\nNot at all. The interviewees at the beginning -- before the healing has begun -- are more angry than anything else. They've got some fight in them, and you feel indignant for them, but there's no wallowing in pain, for instance.\nGolden Globes: Avatar won both best movie and best director (James Cameron).\nBest screenplay: Up in the Air\nBest actor: George Clooney lost out to Jeff Bridges (Crazy Heart).\nBest actress: Sandra Bullock in Blind Side.\nBest actress in a comedy or musical: Meryl Streep, Julie and Julia.\nBest supporting actor: Christoph Waltz, Inglourious Basterds. Didn't somebody post something about him here?\nAvatar beat out Up in the Air? Oh, that's just not right. As much as I enjoyed watching what CAD could do in Avatar, Up in the Air is easily the superior movie.\nHm, I wouldn't describe Julie and Julia as either a comedy or a musical!\nThe production companies decide which categories their movies are entered in. In this case, the producers evidently thought Streep and Julie and Julia would have a better chance if they didn't go up against the heavy hitters in the more prestigious \"Best Movie\" category. By the same token, Up in the Air should have been in the comedy category, but since it was the best movie nominated, why not go for broke? It certainly didn't deserve to lose to Avatar; I'm with Austin on that. Avatar is a stunning visual achievement, truly cutting edge, and that should be recognized. But it was not the best movie.\nDavid, are you reading this? Do you still dislike George Clooney?\nNow, I have a confession to make. I went back to see Avatar again. A friend wanted to see the 3-D version, and I was curious enough about it to go with her. And guess what? It's not exactly the same movie as the regular version; there were a few slight changes.\nFirst, that silly transport vessel with the bottom-mounted thrusters -- the exterior of that ship was not shown at all. We saw the interior and the pilot's view of the compound during the flyby, but no view of the burners. That was an improvement. Also, there was only one shot of a Na'Vi \"aiming\" an arrow incorrectly; all the others had been cut. Sigourney Weaver had a death scene that wasn't in the other version. CCH Pounder's role was enlarged. There were additional shots of the big tree's destruction. Probably a few other changes I didn't catch. But the 3-D was great; I'll echo Pete's \"Wow!\" here.\nChris, what did you think of The Book of Eli?\nI like Clooney in light comedies. Nowadays, I avoid serious, mainstream movies with all my might. (Sometimes Leonore manages to drag me to one, and I get all cranky and whiny.)\nBTW, I reviewed Avatar on my blog:\nhttp://eyeblister.blogspot.com/2010/01/avatar-made-me-blue.html\nI would have thought the 2D version would just have been the right eye (or left eye; take your choice) of the 3D version?\nToo much religiosity for me, although it was germane to the plot. Some of the action sequences were unusual and engaging, but on the whole I'd say skip it.",

        "title": "Music",
        "raw_content": "Doctrine of music\nThe Doctrine Of Music is a body of knowledge and principles based on Scripture that identifies the place that music had in worship services (e.g., Exodus 15: 1/1Chronicles 15: 16) in the ancient world, is having here the Church Age (e.g. Acts 16: 25), and will have in future dispensations (e.g.,Rev 5: 9) to come.\nMusic (and accompanying dancing) has been a part of \"religious\" and \"spiritual\" worship since the earliest recording of human history.\nSpirituality and religion can overtly appear to be one in the same, which makes \"religion\", being Satan's alternative, such a powerful tool and weapon in the realm of spiritual combat (Ephesians 6: 12). Developing an edified soul structure sets the stage for an advancing disciple to discern the critical difference between what is religious (from Man) and what is from God, and therefore, to be a part of his post salvation spiritual life.\nSuch discernment is necessary when distinguishing when music is promoting \"religious\" concepts and when it is promoting the true Gospel Message and accurate post (after) salvation doctrine.\nThe Doctrine of Music also identifies how the devil will make an evil use of music to promote his alternative agenda. It is not unusual for the devil to take what God established for good, retool it, and then use it to accomplish his own objectives. In the retooling process, the devil leaves enough of what God has established in order to retain its appearance of spirituality in order to deceive those who cannot discern the difference between what is religious from what is spiritual.\nPrayer, for example, was established by God to enable communication between He and His children, but the devil adds to this the false doctrine and practice of communication between the souls on earth, and the souls of departed human beings (saints).\nAccording to Scripture, it is the resurrected Lord Jesus Christ (1John 2: 1) and God the Holy Spirit (Romans 8: 26) who intercedes and prays (communicates with) God the Father in our behalf in Heaven. The omniscient (all knowing) and omnipresent (God is everywhere) and omnipotent (all powerful) God does not need any assistance from ANY human soul who has passed or who is presently here on Earth.\nThe devil will use any device that he can to redirect the glory and function of God to others. God chooses to work through Spirit-enabled believers (Exodus 7:10/John 15: 5), but it is He who does the Work (1Cor. 3:7) and should be the One who receives the glory (Acts 14: 10-15/Isa. 42: 8).\nNote that in the Exodus incident, the Egyptian wise men and sorcerers , \"did the same with secret arts (Exodus 7: 11).\"\nThe devil his forces of evil (Ephesians 6: 12) can mentally (Matt. 8: 28) and physically (Luke 13: 11) afflict human beings. Born again believers, being the Earthly temple of God (1Cor. 3: 16) can not be\" possessed\" by the devil, but can certainly be demonically influenced (Gal. 3: 1/1Timothy 4: 1). Ungodly music is among the devices that the devil will use to promote his agenda.\nIt is too much of a stretch to consider that the devil, who can impose and sustain physical ailments and conditions (Luke 13: 16), can also release the same souls from the mental and/or physical illnesses when in doing so, it would promote the teachings of false teachers? Is it a coincidence that the shrines and/or ministries where \"faith healing\" take place are also where the glorification of departed souls (saints) take place, rather than the worship of God?\nIn the ancient word, it was a common belief that one could receive relief from one source of evil by calling upon the name of a higher-ranking demon or god. The Lord Jesus Christ was falsely accused of performing His miracles being possessed and functioning under the power of Belzebul, the ruler of demons (Mark 3: 22).\nHeb. 4: 15 makes it clear that the Lord Jesus Christ NEVER entertained ANY sin. If He had entertained this or ANY other sin (James 2: 10, He would have disqualified Himself as the \"spotless\" Lamb of God (John 1: 29), and God's plan of salvation would have been defeated.\nWe should not dismiss reports of miraculous activity, as God performs miracles every day. At the same time, we are not to assume that all miraculous (supernatural) activity comes from God (Exodus 7: 11 /Mark 13: 22).\nThe truth is that it is often beyond our human ability to know for certain which force (divine or evil) may be behind any one given event that produces supernatural activity. One would not want to attribute the work of God to an evil source, but one must also be aware of the ways and means of the devil.\nBoth God and the devil (to the extent that God allows) will perform signs and wonders to establish credibility to the message(s) they convey. A healing or other beneficial act may actually take place, but not all \"blessings\" come from God, nor do they all serve His purposes.\nWhy does God allow the devil to promote evil deceptions?\nBecause God wants His followers to choose to believe what He has to say. If there were no \"alternative\" choices, our devotion and worship of God would be robotic and void of the free will that God has given to each one of us for His glory.\nSome may try to excuse themselves on the basis of ignorance, but ignorance in the spiritual realm is a choice that we make and/or reinforce every day. At least here in the USA, each and every we choose to accept or reject God's standing invitation to spend time in His Word.\nSecular studies concur that the lives of many who receive the great amounts of tangible prosperity have been destroyed. Contrary to what human viewpoint has to say, enduring the test of prosperity can be a great challenge. Where, on what, and on whom we spend our time and our money and speaks volumes of where we truly stand in our relationship with God.\n\"For where your treasures is, there will be your heart be (Matt. 6: 21 NASB).\"\nIn the end times, Scripture reveals that the devil and the forces of evil will provide, \"...signs and wonders, so as to mislead , if possible, even the elect (Matt. 24: 24 NASB).\" Here, the \"elect\" refers to the people of God present on the Earth at that time.\nAccordingly, when considering the source of miraculous activity, the first question that needs to asked and answered is what is the m-e-s-s-a-g-e that the miracle-worker is promoting. One may not (this side of Heaven) be able to either confirm or to dispute the reality of a reported miracle having taken place, but with an edified soul structure, an advancing disciple can either affirm or revoke the veracity of the message that a miracle worker produces.\nLike a magician, the devil is often successful by distracting our attention with one hand while accomplishing his true objective with the other hand. Miraculous (supernatural) activity, real or counterfeited, will draw the attention of the human souls.\nPlaying traditional hymns in the background while promoting evil activities is a part of the deception that the devil will use to attract the attention of those he desires to deceive. The Bible acknowledges the degree of success that the devil has had via deception. It began in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3: 13)and has (Gal. 3: 1)and will continue on throughout every generation of Man (Rev. 12: 9) in the course of human history.\nPrayer was/is for the purpose of communicating with God.\nScripture (e.g., Deut. 18: 10, 11) prohibited attempts to communicate with departed souls during the Old Testament period, and there is no Biblical evidence that God has changed His mind here in the Church Age.\nFurthermore, even if personalities outside of the Trinity could hear and respond to prayer, there is NOTHING that such prayers or the recipients of such prayers can accomplish that God would not do on His own, p-r-o-v-i-d-i-n-g what is being prayed for was/is truly the will of God in the first place.\nAccording to Scripture, Church Age prayer is to be directed to God the Father (Matt. 6: 9), in the power of God the Holy Spirit (John 15: 5), and in the name (authority/agenda) of God the Son, Lord Jesus Christ (John 14: 13). Many prayers and prayer requests have been the subject matter that has been out to put to music.\nSee the Doctrine of Prayer for more details.\nThe construction and use of musical instruments (drums, wind, and stringed instruments) for false religious activity (Psalms 96), as well as for the worship of the one true God, date far back into recorded history. This point in of itself demonstrates that it is not the music itself, but how it is used that determines its spiritual worth.\nMany of the ancient peoples did not have the means to document the melodies of the songs they produced. Music, in the written form with such things as staffs and notes were not invented until thousands of years after \"music\" became a common part of the human experience. Such melodies were passed along from generation to the next generation, learning to sing or to play the songs \"by ear.\"\nMany of the Psalms of the Old Testament are perhaps among the oldest documented \"lyrics,\" but the original music that accompanied these psalms were not preserved for posterity. The subject matter of the lyrics found in many Christian Hymns have their roots in the Psalms of the Old Testament Scripture.\nThe type of vocal (solo, group, choir, etc.) and musical instruments that were, are being, or will be incorporated into the corporate worship services has changed and will likely continue to change throughout the course of the Church Age and beyond.\nThere is a false, but popular assumption that what goes on in the worship services of our day has always been the case, but this is not so.\nFor example, \"Christmas\" services without the inclusion of traditional Christmas carols would seem awkward to most Christians of our day, yet these well known songs were not even composed until more than 1,000 years of Church history had already come and gone.\nDue to the political influence of the Puritans in the 1600's in England, the Christmas \"carols\" were not allowed to be a part of worship services, partly due to the connection that \"carols\" had with pagan practices. \"Carols\" were sung by pagans while dancing around in a circle, celebrating the Winter Solstice holiday. Winter Solstice is an annual astrological event in the natural realm, but was incorporated into pagan religious celebrations taking place around December 22 each year.\nThe Christian Community, defiantly going beyond what can be substantiated in Scripture (Prov. 30: 6), established December 25th as the day to celebrate the First Advent. The time of year and other similarities with the pagan celebrations during the Winter Solstice, raised some serious objections and reactions within parts of the Christian Community. Among the results was the banning of Christmas \"carols\" and the bringing of mistletoe into the house(s) of worship.\nThe Jewish Community and the Christian Community have a history of taking what had been a pagan custom and converting it into their own practices and traditions. Among these were physical circumcision, divination, water purification and/or induction ceremonies, lighting of candles when seeking favors from the gods, setting up mini-altars and shrines within the home, making prayer requests to intermediators (outside of the Trinity), and wearing pieces of jewelry to ward off evil. Some of these activities were authorized by God, whereas others were not. Some were clearly forbidden. Again, one can see the need to discern between what is religious (Mark 7: 7) being instituted by Man, and what is spiritual, coming from God.\nWorshiping the sun (or who/what it was believed to represent) was a common practice among ancient religions. There were variations as to what god was being worshiped during the Winter Solstice annual event, but basic elements of the holiday was celebrated by many cultures throughout the ancient world.\nThe concepts of there being an end or death to one thing and/or the birth or \"dawning\" of something new was dominant.\nIn the ancient world, the rising of the sun called for the celebration of a spiritual birth, either of a divine being or to commemorate the rebirth experienced by the individual followers.\nIt was also the time that, according to ancient beliefs, a divinely ordered birth with a divine purpose (e.g. a savior) would come into the world. Different religions and cultures identify this event as being the time in which various divine beings entered the human environment.\nIn Egypt it was the birth of the ancient god Horus. In Persia, it was the birth of the sun god Mithra. Many different cultures came to acknowledge the Winter Solstice as being the day on which their god(s) were born or came into the world in one bodily form or another. When the Christian Community set December 25th as the day to celebrate the First Advent, it was the day that the Christian Community was to set aside to celebrate the birth of Christ.\nOn a lesser scale, All Saints Day became a Christian event, partly due to offer an alternative to celebrating Halloween in the ways and means it was celebrated in the pagan world that acknowledged demonic activity.\nThe lighting of candles on birthday cakes, the wearing of certain pieces of jewelry and religious medals with emblems of departed \"saints\" and setting up \"shrines\" in the private homes, and praying to intermediators (outside of the Trinity) are among the MANY pagan practices that became a part of the Christian Community over the course of the Church History.\nMusic and dancing, as in virtually all cultures, played a key role in the Winter Solstice celebrations. When some sectors of the Christian Community sought to separate themselves from identification with the pagan practices celebrated during the Winter Solstice, the banning of some forms of music (carols) and dancing became prohibited acts.\nA church service without a choir would seem awkward to those who are accustomed to this form of music ministry.\nAn electric guitar instead of a pipe organ would raise some eyebrows in the more conservative local assemblies to this very day.\nMany forms of contemporary music would/will not be \"welcomed with open arms\" in worship services that more traditional, or that are under the thumb of denominational control. Such music would be considered too worldly or otherwise \"inappropriate\" for inclusion in worship services.\nMusic clearly has its generational identification.\nFailing to continue to include the type of music that the former generation were accustomed to, and/or failing to include the type of music that appeals to the upcoming generations can be used of the devil to divide and conquer what was formerly a unified congregation.\nFellowship among different generations calls for consideration being mutually exercised by all.\nThe music, like ANY other activity taking place within a local assembly or ministry, must praise and/or glorify God. No one else.\nThe music can include songs that promote the external or the internal parts of the Great Commission (Matt. 28: 19, 20). The external part involves the presentation of the true Gospel Message to unbelievers, and the internal part involves the making of disciples (students and appliers of the Word of God) out of those who have been born again (John 3: 5, 7).\nThe American Society is clearly in a state of moral decline.\nMusic, in general, expresses the thoughts and feelings that are commonly shared by the generation that produces it. An examination of the music (especially the lyrics) that any given generation (or individual) produces or promotes is a good indication as to where they are in their relationship with the Lord.\nTo the extent that the thoughts and feelings of the generation (as a whole) are ungodly, so will be the lyrics of the music that the generation produces. To the extent that the thoughts and feelings of a generation (as a whole) is godly (in line with the, \"...mind of Christ (1Cor. 2: 16 NASB)\", so will the lyrics of the music that it produces.\nBoth edifying and ungodly music, especially in the lyrics, can be found in virtually ever genre of music that is out there.\nBy \"ungodly,\" I am referring to principles that run contrary to what the, \"mind (thinking) of Christ - 1Cor. 2: 16 NASB italics mine),\" has to say about any given issue. By this definition, there are \"ungodly\" songs being promoted in various sectors of the Christian Community that can be detected by an edified soul structure of an advancing disciple.\nThe same tongue and vocal chords that can be used to worship God can be used to spread the fire (destruction) of Hell.\nBelievers are warned in Scripture to be careful about how and to what we choose to listen (Mark 4: 24/Luke 8: 18). What we choose to listen to influences how we think. How we think determines who and what we are (Prov. 23: 7).\nPastors , or music directors who have been given delegated authority, are responsible for the message(s) that the music that is include in worship services.\nHuman viewpoint will find that a singer with a great voice, accompanied by great musicians will draw and retain a following, whereas singing off key, or being accompanied by unskilled musicians can be a great distraction. God, however, listens to heart of the performer and the content of the message being promoted.\nAlmost everyone listens to music of some kind. If you don't think that the lyrics of the music one listens to is not becoming a part of his own soul structure, consider how many lyrics of the songs that are played in the background or that we choose to focus on that we have unconsciously committed to memory without even trying.\nEver notice how a song can be heard or recalled, and then have it \"stuck\" in your mind all day?\nIf you think you can load your mind with thoughts that promote human viewpoint that appeals to the sin nature in all of us, and then not have these same thoughts and concepts influence your choices of behavior, you have been deceived.\nAs example, listen to enough songs that promote vanity, violence, drug/alcohol abuse, illicit relationships, or rebellion and you will find that you will be desensitized and more vulnerable when (not if) related temptations come your way.\nJust as God the Holy Spirit will bring to the conscious mind the principle(s) of a relevant passage of Scripture so that we can make the right choices, so will the devil (or those who do his bidding) bring to our conscious minds the trash that we have chosen to become a part of our thought processes. Ungodly lyrics can be a part of the trash that we choose to accumulate.\nThe lyrics of virtually EVERY song communicate or reinforce principles that favor or oppose either the Kingdom of God or the Kingdom of Darkness. There is no neutrality in the spiritual realm. Failure to see the spiritual issues being promoted or attacked is an indication that one has a weak soul structure. A weak believer (without an edified soul structure) is an easy target in the realm of spiritual combat.\nLyrics that promote the true Gospel Message or a principle of accurate doctrine can be the means to evangelize or edify ourselves and others. Many souls have been evangelized and/or edified via such music and performers. One can be evangelized (presented with the Gospel Message) or edified (presented with a principle of doctrine) via godly music, regardless of the genre of music or where it is that the music in being heard.\nThe selection of music can be used to promote or influence the environmental mood of the congregation when attending worship services.\nWithout lyrics that can be heard, distinguished, and understood, there can be no edification taking place, nor can God be truly worshiped.\nThere are many \"religious\" songs that contain beautiful melodies, but upon further inspection, can be found to promote false teachings and practices of \"religion.\" Such \"religious\" music appeals to the spiritually ignorant, but amount to nothing (Matt. 15:9/Isa. 64: 6) or worse (Isa. 64: 6)) in the eyes of God.\n\"But in vain do they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the precepts of Men (Matt. 15: 9 NABS).\"\n\"And all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment (Isa. 64: 6). Note that is is not our \"bad\" deeds, but it is our \"righteous\" (religious) deeds that are in view.\nBelievers without an edified soul structure can no more detect the devil's alternatives being communicated via music than they can detect false information coming verbally from any given pulpit. In the case of weak believers, all the devil has to do is to provide the right appearances, and his targets will take the bait, hook, line, and sinker. Again, a \"weak\" believer is one who chooses not to build an edified soul structure. Such a believer can be well educated in the secular and or \"religious\"realm, while remaining quite ignorant in the spiritual realm.\nMany seminarians graduate with a high degree of education and with the skills to perform the \"religious\" rituals of the denominations they will serve. Yet, such clergy do not have what it takes (2Pet. 3: 18/John 15: 5) to evangelize or to edify anyone. The Mission of the Church that God designed was/is to proclaim the true Gospel Message to unbelievers and to make disciples (students and appliers of the Word of God) out of those who have been born again (Matthew 28: 19, 20). Like runners in a torch-relay race, one can NOT be used of God to pass along to another anything that he has not first secured for himself. This is why \"religious\" clergy and \"religious\" members of a \"religious\" congregation can attend \"religious\" services and go through \"religious\" activity and rituals on a regular basis, but still be spiritually dead and/or without an edified soul structure.\nWhen the false concepts are being promoted by the pulpit, the primary target group is the congregation of the local church or ministry. When false concepts are being promoted via music, the target group widens considerably, as it can include any setting or environment in which music is being played!\nMany traditional hymns, like most prayers, end with \"Amen.\" Amen means, \"so be it.\"\nThe spiritual issue is how can (or should) one applaud, say, or sing \"Amen\" (meaning, \"So be it!) at the end of a prayer, or the singing of a hymn, or statement being proclaimed if he/she did not understand and concur with the message being communicated.\nThe devil promotes ungodly (as previously defined) music and the musicians or singers that produce/perform it.\nProviding the lyrics of the music accurately reflects the mind of Christ (1Cor. 2: 16, the type of music accompanying the message is more of a matter of personal or congregational preference. But without having the knowledge of what the mind (thinking) of Christ is on any given subject, how can one discern rather or not the lyrics is supporting or opposing it? The simple answer is that one can not.\nThe different types of music that become a part of worship services will continue to come and go, but the message(s) they should be communicating should not.\nWe are creatures of habit, and it is not easy to deviate from what we have experienced and found appropriate in the past. The older we get, the more difficult it is to change, especially concerning things that have always been a significant part of our lives.\nThe longer we have repeated or have been exposed to something being repeated, the deeper the roots have grown. To the extent that one is deeply rooted in the truth, this is a good thing. But to the extent that one is rooted in falsehood, these deep roots can cause one to be unteachable, obstructing what should be the ongoing process of edification.\nThe selected background music should accommodate the activity taking place. Music can be an audible aid, but can also be a distraction.\nMusic, prior to the start of the service, for example, should be promoting an environment in which those present can conduct a 2Cor. 13: 5 self examination, and if necessary, entertain the 1John 1: 9/John 8: 11 procedures in order to be prepared to worship God and He desires to be worshiped (John 4: 23 This is especially true when the celebration of the Lord's Supper (Communion) will be a part of the worship service (1Cor. 11: 28).\nThere is a category of music that would be appropriate during the celebration of the Lord's Supper (Communion) part of the service, reflecting what the Person and the Work accomplished while on the cross. Bringing into remembrance (conscious thought) is the stated (1Cor. 11: 24, 25) purpose for celebrating the Lord's Supper (Communion) during worship services on a regular basis.\nThere is a part of the worship service in which the Lord is being praised and should call for the type of music that reflects that objective. There are times for inspirational music that stirs the soul and should motivate the believers to apply the principles that (should) have been expounded on during the homily or sermon.\nThe music ministry is an important element in *most corporate worship services. I do not include music in most of the presentations that I produce here at BATMQ.NET. BATMQ is primarily a \"teaching ministry\" in which a distraction-free environment is preferred, just as is the case when a sermon or homily is being presented in a traditional setting.\nThe role of the evangelist and the pastor teacher overlap, as both present the Gospel Message and deliver Bible-based presentations. The primary mission of the evangelist (e.g. Billy Graham) is to proclaim the Gospel Message for the salvation of unsaved souls. Accordingly, the primary target group of the evangelist are the unsaved souls who are not (yet) members of the Church. The primary mission of the pastor teacher is to reiterate the Gospel Message, while providing those who have already been born again with what they need to identify and to execute the true post (after) salvation spiritual life.\nIt is through the evangelists, the pastor teachers, and the advancing disciples that the mission (Matt. 28: 19, 20) given to the Church that God designed has been and will continue to be fulfilled.\nWhile not making music a part of the Biblical Answers To Man's Questions ministry, spiritual music is an important part of my personal time with the Lord. I play the violin and mandolin. I often experience and appreciate the positive influence that godly music can provide.\nEspecially in the ancient world, the next generation of musicians were taught and trained by the musicians of the existing generation with little room for introducing any major changes. In many cultures learning to \"play by ear\" was the most popular method. To this day, there are many \"musicians\" and vocalists\" in many different cultures who can't read a single note of music, but never-the-less are among the world's greatest musicians and/or singers.\nMusic is one of the means of communicating concepts of thoughts and emotions. Music is said to be the \"International Language\". Music can provide an environment of rest and contemplation, but can also provide an environment of excitement and/or inspiration. There is a time and a place for all of these environments in life of an advancing disciple, and in the corporate worship services of the Church Age.\nMany denominations have a specific procedure governing what music is and is not to be included in the worship services. Such scrutiny can be a positive thing when it filters out the introduction of false concepts, but it can also be a negative thing when it denies the congregations the benefits that godly music has to offer.\nThe bottom line, here, should not be so much the genre of music, but what message is that the lyrics communicate.\nFor many believers, songs that are sung in languages that they personally do not understand may be entertaining, but do nothing to edify or inspire. Paul applied this same principle when addressing the issue of speaking in tongues in a worship service (1Cor. 14: 11).\nWith some forms of music, the lyrics can be hard to hear above the music, again eliminating any edification. Its hard to applaud (when applauding is allowed) a performer what one does not know the contents of the message he/she was conveying in the song. One would be shocked if he/she could turn around and see the devil or his demons applauding the same material!\nOne of the greatest advantages of worshiping via remote means of communication (e.g, television, Internet) is the close captioned option that allows the viewer to read the lyrics and the words spoken. If the program was prerecorded, and one did not hear what was said or sung, he/she can rewind or reverse the program to clarify what was being communicated before continuing on with the program.\nWhen not being used to worship, I can enjoy many forms of music in which contain no lyrics, but when worshiping, I need to know what the message is that the song is promoting and then be in agreement with it before I say Amen (So be it!) to anything.\nThe style of music is a matter of personal and/or corporate taste. Vocal \"choirs\" accompanied by a church pipe-organ is what \"older\" congregationalists would prefer, whereas the upcoming generations of the Church Age might prefer music played on electric guitars and drums and/or on devices not yet invented.\nOthers would prefer a \"middle of the road\" form that would involve a soloist or smaller group accompanied by a pianist or a violinist, while others would desire a full orchestra if one could be arranged.\nThe important thing to remember that the internal (inside) mission given to the Church was/is to make disciples (students and appliers of the Word of God) out of those (in the congregation) who have already been born again (John 3: 5,. 7). The worship of God is a post (after) salvation activity. Although we may be \"entertained\" by different musicians and vocalists, advancing disciples do not attend worship services to be entertained, but to be edified.\nMany pastors desire to have the hymns or songs set the stage or reinforce the principles of the subject matter he presents in the sermon of the day.\nThere are some forms of music that some believers would deem inappropriate for worship services. There is body language and gestures that some performers use that some believers consider distracting and over-dramatic, whereas in other local assemblies such behaviors are welcomed.\nBeing a music director can be a challenging position in a diverse congregation.\nAs in ALL spiritual matters, evaluation is to be based on the fruit produced. The fruit of worship service is the degree in which God is glorified and the congregation is being edified. Godly music can contribute to the production of such fruit.",

        "raw_content": "The Black Bush Robin is a long-legged scrub-robin with long, graduated and usually high-cocked tail. The nominate race is greyish-black, with black rump, wings and tail. It is said to be common or very common across the majority of its range. Within this range it is generally considered resident, although short-distance migratory movements evidently occur, as the species is documented as a regular winter visitor south to Ethiopia and Somalia, as well as a vagrant to neighboring regions both north and south of its documented range.\nIt is presumably this potential for vagrancy that makes Black Bush Robin one of the Western Palearctic\u2019s more regular sub-Saharan visitors. The Cricket Warbler for example is less frequently seen. As both observer awareness and coverage intensity have increased in recent decades, the species has been transformed from an extremely rare vagrant to an expected annual visitor within the region.\nIt is no coincidence that many records of this species in recent years have come from the destinations of Egypt\u2019s Red Sea coast in winter and spring. The peak of observations from the other hotspot (southern Israel) is from the early spring period (primarily March and early April).\nThis sub-Saharan rare erratic visitor has been seen increasingly frequently along the Red Sea coast, probably mostly due to the increasing number of birders visiting the region, as well as, the availability of more vegetation cover in the form of hotel gardens. Since 2000, the species has been recorded at El Gouna, Shams Alam Hotel, Shalateen, and Gebel Elba. An immature Black Scrub-Robin was seen at Marsa Alam, Wadi Gamla, on 13 \u2013 14 November 2006. On 4 February and 14 March 2008, Black Scrub Robins were seen at El Gouna. A Black Scrub Robin was seen at Berenice, on the Red Sea coast, on 19 March 2012. A Black Scrub-Robin was photographed at the Fantazia Resort, Marsa al Alam, on 5 \u2013 12 December 2010. On 3 March 2010, a Black Scrub Robin Cercotrichas podobe was seen at Wadi Gimal. The acute paucity of vegetation along the Red Sea coast south of Marsa Alam tends to concentrate northbound migrants in the few green areas, with hotel grounds particularly attractive. This species had been recorded from Shalateen or Shalatayn and Gebel Elba as well. But this is normally out of reach for normal birdwatchers.\nThe southern Red Sea, including WGNP, is a great place to see some migrant and wintering specialties and rarities that are marginally represented in the Western Palearctic, not only because of its strategic location, but also because it is an under-explored region, a sort of frontier region for birdwatchers.\nMany vagrants have been documented in the region in recent years besides the Black Scrub-Robin as the Grey Hypocolius (Hypocolius ampelinus) and the Cyprus Warbler (Sylvia melanothorax).\nThat said, the other location \u2013 Israel \u2013 can boast also spring, autumn and overwintering occurrences. In most springs one or two birds usually oblige birdwatchers by arriving and lingering at the southern migrant hotspots near Eilat. They tend to arrive during March, but their occurrence is unpredictable and far from guaranteed. In the recent past, a considerable proportion of records have come from the various birdwatching sites around Eilat. These locations included the Israel Bird Ringing Centre Eilat (IBRCE), Holland Park, from the KM19\u201320 area, Kibbutz Lotan and the Yotvata area.\nBehaviorally, Black Bush Robins tend to favor comparatively well-vegetated areas\u2009\u2014\u2009patches of dense scrub (such as acacia) give them places to skulk, though they can be extremely showy if patience is applied. A number of the Israeli birds have been seen displaying\u2009\u2014\u2009an act that generally involves fanning their boldly-marked tail and spreading their wings, revealing the rufous wash to the latter.\nAs the Cricket Warbler or Cricket Longtail (Spiloptila clamans) the Black Bush Robin is another excellent contribution to the portfolio of Western Palearctic birds for bird-lens.com. Although only encountered in the far south of the boundary of the Western Palearctic this cute, small bird native to the Sahel region is highly welcome.\nIn order to satisfy athe growing demand for top shots of the rarer species of Palearctic, Bird-lens.com has undertaken targeted trips to distant bird areas and destinations nearby. This is to be able to do anything to provide excellent images of the birds of the Western Palearctic. Additionally bird-lens.com is keen to provide images of other birds of other parts of the world \u2013 especially if these birds are rarely photographed. The results in images of rare birds are very good. Very nice images bird-lens.com could be brought back from all over the world.\nThe beautiful image of the blog is only first impressions of what you will find in behind \u201cPicture Shop\u201d for the Cameroon trip very soon.

        "raw_content": "Some UK resident but non-domiciled individuals can elect to be taxed on their overseas income and gains on a remittance basis. Those who do not elect are taxed on their worldwide income and gains on an arising basis.\nNon-UK domiciled individuals are deemed UK domiciled if they have been resident in the UK for 15 of the past 20 tax years and the remittance basis is no longer an option.\nIn addition individuals who were born in the UK and who have a UK domicile of origin revert to their UK domiciled status whilst they are resident in the UK.\nIndividuals who can use the remittance basis are charged according to how long they have been UK resident.\nThe charge is \u00a360,000 for those who have been UK resident for at least 12 of the previous 14 tax years.\nA \u00a330,000 charge applies to those who have been resident for at least 7 of the preceding 9 tax years.\nThe tax charge will be removed when non-domiciled individuals remit foreign income or capital gain for the purpose of a qualifying investment in a qualifying company.\nThe rules relating to residence and domicile involve some quite complex tax principles, which have a potentially significant impact on a wide range of individuals and their tax liabilities. Contact us to discuss your own situation.\nRules relating to residence and domicile\nThe concept of residence in the UK for tax purposes determines to what extent an individual is liable to UK tax on their income.\nIf you have UK income you may need to pay UK tax even if you're non-resident, eg if you have income from renting a property in the UK. The UK has \u2018double taxation agreements' with many countries to make sure you don't pay tax twice.\nWhen an individual is UK resident for tax purposes, they are also liable for tax on income arising anywhere else in the world, and this holds true for all UK residents. Eligible non-doms can choose the remittance basis in order not to be taxed on all their foreign income.\nHowever, the basis on which some are taxed differs - this affects the amount of income chargeable to tax in any tax year.\nThe rules require individuals to claim the remittance basis in future, and for long-term residents when the unremitted income or gains exceed \u00a32,000, the remittance basis will only be available on payment of \u00a360,000 (\u00a330,000 in some cases) per annum.\nSo, a non-domiciled individual with \u00a35,000 of overseas investment income would be liable to pay UK income tax on his overseas income, as it would not be worth him paying the \u00a360,000 tariff to avoid it.\nIn addition, those who claim a remittance basis will also lose their UK personal allowances and CGT annual allowance. The loss of personal allowances and annual exemption will affect the tax bill on UK income, even if no foreign income is remitted to the UK.\nThe remittance basis will apply automatically if an individual's non-UK income and gains are less than \u00a32,000 in the year, and the individual will not lose his UK allowances in this situation.\nIf the individual wishes to claim the remittance basis on income in excess of \u00a32,000, he will lose his personal allowances and CGT annual allowance.\nThis will apply to all of those seeking to be taxed on a remittance basis, whether they are required to pay the flat fee or not.\nFinally, for those who meet one of the longer-term residence tests, a tax charge (as detailed above) will be due in addition to the loss of personal allowances.\nTax will also be due on remitted income in addition to the flat charge, and if income is remitted to the UK to pay the flat charge, then further tax will arise on that remittance.\nPaying the remittance basis charge with foreign income and gains is not a remittance if the payment is made from funds held outside the UK, directly to HMRC by cheque (drawn on a foreign bank account) or an electronic transfer of funds.\nThe remittance basis charge counts as UK income tax paid for the purpose of Gift Aid.\nA statutory residence test determines whether you are UK resident for a particular tax year. This comprises 3 elements:\n1. Is the individual automatically UK resident?\n2. Is the individual automatically resident overseas?\n3. If neither of these categories, are there sufficient ties to make them resident in the UK?\nPlease contact us to discuss your own situation with regard to your domicile and available tax planning opportunities.",

The people were so nice and welcoming and made all of us feel very special. Once I started my presentation I just relaxed and it all went well. It was good that I\u2019d had so much practice at Elmhurst, not just for my talk, but all the different times we took part in assemblies for parents, plays and poetry evenings. It all helped with my confidence for standing up in front of a crowd of strangers.\u201d\nTony Padfield, Head Teacher at Elmhurst School for Boys, said: \u201cHere at Elmhurst we take great pride in identifying, nurturing and celebrating the talents of every boy and our English Speaking Board programme offered to all pupils in Year 6 is a great way to develop confidence and independent learning. Ethan should be very proud of his fantastic achievement - congratulations and well done.\u201d\nFor more information about Elmhurst School, click here.",

Read more...\nMore About Creative Followership by Jimmy Collins; Michael Cooley; Truett Cathy\nA master story-teller, Jimmy Collins is well known for his common-sense style of communication. In \"Creative Followership: In the Shadow of Greatness,\" Collins uses personal illustrations and stories to tell how he discovered and used his \"Creative Followership Principles\" for a successful and satisfying thirty-two-year career of service. Collins hopes to offer an inspiring message for men and women entering or redirecting their careers. He says, \"My mission is to use my life experience to motivate others to venture out on a journey of discovery and adventure.\" Starting at the age of twelve, he delivered groceries on a bicycle for a neighborhood store. By the time he retired, he was the chief operating officer of a one-billion-dollar restaurant chain. A real success story \"Creative Followership\" promises readers a better route to success and satisfaction than the over-emphasized pursuit of leadership roles. Collins begins \"Creative Followership\" with his unrealized search for a formula to become a leader. He reminds readers why leadership cannot be taught. He points out that only those who have followers are leaders, and that followers choose to follow a leader because of a unifying purpose that they can share. For example, Collins describes his absolute loyalty to Truett Cathy, founder of Chick-fil-A, which he claims resulted in Truett's unwavering support of him as Truett's \"Chief Follower.\" He also explains how he built his career using these Creative Followership Principles, which are easily transferable and usable for any individual in any organization. Jimmy's own journey to becoming a business executive and receiving the recognition and reward that followed is living proof of the effectiveness of these principles.\nPublisher: Looking Glass Books\nBooks > Business & Economics > Motivational",

        "raw_content": "Technologies: Fuzzy Logic, Data Mining/Knowledge Discovery, Knowledge Based Systems, Multi-Agent systems\nKnowledge technologies in the context of the AURORA program - Past Research Projects\nThe project\u2019s outcome is a report that represents combination of fields that are partially unstructured and uncorrelated although they address the same underlying concept: \u2018Knowledge\u2019. The report focuses on what is needed; for AURORA programme, which, at the limit, will not evolve independently from technologies in other domains. Moreover, the report also addresses what can be really obtained, since the major guidelines supporting our contributions are \u2018enabling and efficiency\u2019.\nThe AURORA missions require \u2018enabling\u2019 factors to unblock those severe constraints affecting the viability of the project. In the other hand, AURORA also requires efficiency to make the most appropriate use of the available resources and technologies (during planning, preparation and execution of the missions). The availability of automated knowledge intense processes is therefore essential. A neutral name, focused on the \u2018implementation\u2019 issues and pragmatism has been selected for this area: \u2018Knowledge Technologies\u2019.\nThe report has been subtitled \u2018State-of-the-Art & Roadmap\u2019 because it does both things: it is, in one hand, an analysis of current capabilities and technologies on the different fields we have grouped together. And in the other hand, it presents our own perspective of the horizon thus describing one (of the infinitude of potential paths) with which we will be confident that challenging milestones can be reached and hence the Knowledge Technologies developed to the point of being in the position of contributing appropriately to the AURORA programme.\nFigure 1 depict the several chapters that describe the report:\nChapter 1, Knowledge Technologies background, introduces the target field: Brief historical reference plus the rational for grouping techniques and technologies in the very particular way we are doing in this \u2018Past & Future\u2019 document.\nChapter 2, Knowledge, focuses on the central element that aggregates the \u2018Knowledge Technologies\u2019, which is obviously knowledge. This chapter discuss concepts, produces definitions and sets up the basis for later classifications, since the \u2018nature\u2019 of knowledge represents the dominating aspect in the majority of the topics being discussed. The domain of this chapter is identified in light yellow in the figure above, being knowledge acquisition the most relevant aspects to be covered.\nChapter 3, Knowledge Technologies & Services, is full of pragmatism. Knowledge Technologies do not have sense if they do not have specific and characteristic capabilities yielding to specific benefit. This chapter discuss \u2018cases\u2019 where Knowledge Technology will have (currently and in the future) to contribute; This chapter also prepares the transition between the \u2018conceptual\u2019 framework and the effectively application oriented one; this is done on the basis of the basic outcomes of the knowledge transformation (Recognition and Generalization) that lead the way to the knowledge technologies and supporting services, on which the rest of the chapters are structured.\nChapter 4, AURORA, (also subtitled context for technology application) which consists of a straight forward mapping of the Knowledge Technologies and Supporting Services into the AURORA program, identifying \u2013 some times, just interpreting or imagining \u2013 needs and direct benefits. This represents the very basis for the very relevant Chapter 5, Future Roadmap, which depicts the needed evolution of the underlying technologies and services structured in three relevant time slices between 2002 and 2030. Still more pragmatic, Chapter 6, Workplan, transforms the roadmap into projects proposals organized around milestones oriented planning.\nAnnexes. The first presents the state of the art of knowledge supporting technologies and the second presents the state of the art of the supporting services need for the technologies.\nA final remark: The report\u2019s scope is challenging and would like, as well, to be provocative. It also features large doses of \u2018common sense\u2019 in order to counteract political (or just private) strategies fomenting localism in several scientific domains. The resulting scenario is a vast theatre summarized in targeted sections of this report. Some underlying state of the art knowledge is delivered in appendix in order to make reading more accessible. Nevertheless, the field is state-of-the-art in both the technical and human sciences and hence it should be technically and humanly complex but appealing.\nR. A. Ribeiro, F. J. Varas.

        "raw_content": "This past weekend I desperately wanted to go on an adventure. I decided to take a quick shower, get my gear together and hit the road. I stopped at a local Harps and got a sandwich and some fruit for the road. I had an idea of going to Hot Springs, although 3 hours away, I decided why not. I was headed south when I decided to see if there were any cool spots that were closer. I got on Pinterest and searched \"Arkansas Photography\". After seeing a few photos, I spotted one of Cedar Falls. I clicked on the link that took me to a page saying, \"You should definitely see this waterfall if you live in Arkansas\". I quickly saw where it was located and pulled up a map to see if it was anywhere close. Luckily, it was a whole hour closer and I set my directions to take me there. Now this is something I have decided recently... I only want to go places I need a map to get to. If I don't need a map, that means I know the route well enough, and have been there before. My goal is to only go to places I have never seen. So a couple hours later, and after yelling in my car to Natasha Bedingfield's song \"Pocketful of Sunshine\", I had arrived at Petit Jean State Park. I was instantly in love with the curvy roads leading to the visitor center. There I got a map, sent a post card to my mother, and asked my questions about some trails. I headed back down the twisty road to Mather Lodge. It being the weekend, it was hard to find a parking spot. I found one up the hill, got my gear together, strapped my hammock on my camera bag, and set out to find the trailhead. It was easy to find, and most of the visitors were headed that way. Not a few steps down the trail I crossed paths with a girl who noticed me carrying my camera. She proceeded to ask if I was a photographer and if I had an Instagram. I absolutely adore people who aren't afraid to talk to people and make conversation. After answering her and getting the correct spelling of my name, she said she'd add me when she got service and I continued to head down the path. I was now walking with more of a pep in my step, knowing that just another person was going to see my work. After saying the casual passing by \"hellos\" and snapping a few pictures, I arrived at the waterfall. Hiking two miles seems like nothing now after hiking up Mount Magazine, which is a ten mile hike. I look around to see if there is anywhere to hang my hammock, and after thinking of some good possibilities, I head over to a rock that is a little ways out in the lake that Cedar Falls pours into. I started setting up my tripod which I figured out is completely broken (don't buy cheesy tripods). I tried to rig it to where my camera wouldn't move too much, since I wanted to do some long exposure photos of the water. It seemed to be working for the most part. Now all I had to do was wait on the people to get out of my shot. The cool thing about this spot is that you can physically walk under the waterfall and sit on a ledge and enjoy the scenery. The uncool part is that for photographers like me, that means I'll more than likely never get a shot without at least one person it in. After waiting forever, I finally got a few shots clear of people. I moved to the side of the waterfall and shot some there as well. I decided to join the bandwagon and go under the waterfall. After sitting there a moment, I decided it was time to go set up my hammock and relax a little before I head back home. The trees I previously picked for my hammock spot ended up not working. One of the trees was way too big for my little rope to go around (note to self: always have extra paracord with you). I moved over a few trees and set up my temporary camp. I enjoyed a Milky Way, and sat staring up at the trees above me, contemplating life. Sometimes you simply need hours by yourself, staring up at the sky or at a beautiful waterfall, just thinking about life. Some people passed by saying that bringing a hammock was at the best idea ever, or asked if I was camping out. Six o'clock rolled around and I decided to make the mile trek back up the hillside. Overall, I definitely recommend this trail. It is beautiful, and a fun quick hike to make. Thank you Petit Jean State Park for existing and being the destination I enjoyed last Sunday.",

        "raw_content": "Daniel Smith Rape Trial\nPicture this...you're with your friends having a fun night out. You go to a club, have a few drinks, dance and generally have a good time and get pretty tipsy.\nAfter leaving the club you and one of your friends of the opposite gender start fooling around and because inhibitions have been lowered by alcohol, maybe even have intercourse using a condom. Some of your friends in the group saw what was happening, but at that time everyone was just having fun.\nFast forward to the next day...the woman sobers up and feels embarrassed, ashamed, even humiliated that others saw her having sex. My gosh, she thinks, I'm religious. A devout catholic. She convinces herself that she was raped, and with some friends and family agreeing, she files rape charges against her friend hoping for a quick financial settlement.\nThis, in my opinion, is what happened on the night of Nov. 1, 2005 at Subic, Philippines to a group of friends that included Daniel Smith, 21, of St. Louis, USA and \"Nicole\", 23 of Zamboanga, Philippines.\nOn December 4, 2006 a trial court in Manila, Philippines found Daniel Smith, a Lance Corporal in the US Marines, guilty of rape and sentenced to 40 years in prison. At the same time 3 other US Marines were acquitted of complicity in the case.\n* Smith and Marine Buddies met \"Nicole\" in Zamboanga during training exercises\n* Smith invited \"Nicole\" to Subic area and paid for her transportation\n* November 1, 2005 around 10 pm., Smith and 3 US Marine friends went to the Neptune Bar in Subic and met \"Nicole\" and her step-sister\n* After having a good time at the club, Smith, his 3 Marine friends, \"Nicole\" and a Filipino driver get in a van and head back to the nearby ship\n* Once in the van, according to statements made by the Filipino driver and the 3 Marines, Smith and \"Nicole\" were in the back of the van, their conversations were normal and they were not arguing\n* Smith claims consensual sex occurred in the van at the time, that \"Nicole\" helped him put on a condom and that \"Nicole\" was lucid enough to consent to sex\n* Nicole files rape charges against Smith and 3 other Marines\n* The Filipino driver initially claims to the police, no rape occurred\n* 2 days later after intense interrogation and possibly being beaten and threatened by the police, the driver signs a statement claiming that rape did occur in the van\n* A few days later the driver recants the written statement, is interviewed on national television by no less than the Vice-President of the Philippines and again claims no rape occurred\n* The trial gets underway amid an emotionally charged media frenzy that almost demands a conviction\n* Daniel Smith is convicted, 3 other Marines acquitted, the Filipino driver was never charged\n* The argument of the judge in making his ruling is that \"Nicole\" was too drunk to give her consent\nWithout even being in the courtroom to hear all of the testimony it seems clear that there was an obvious error in logic on the part of the judge. If rape did occur within the small space of the van then it would be impossible for the 3 other Marines and the Filipino driver not to know it was happening, so they must be convicted of complicity. Also, if Nicole was too drunk to give her consent to have sex then how could her identification of Smith be deemed reliable?\nSince the Filipino driver was never charged and he has no motivation to lie, he is the only one who could possibly be believed.\nIn my opinion, the driver initially told the truth, no rape occurred. Then the police picked him up for questioning, intimidated and most likely beat him, threatened him and his family, and told him to sign a statement. He signed the statement, recanted a few days later and told the truth on national television.\nLet's note 2 factors that are present in Philippine culture; embarrassment and confusion. Nicole was embarrassed by what happened, even humiliated. And she was also faced with the prospect that her other American boyfriend would find out what happened. She's confused, and can't decide what to do. The solution? Blame Daniel Smith and the 3 other \"bad Americans\".\nOnce the rape charges were filed there was no turning back. The police, the prosecutors, and the media took charge. The Filipino culture is one based on emotion. Filipinos are highly emotional and often times these intense emotions overrule all rational and logical thought. This case was decided before it ever went to trial. The judge, under a tidal wave of societal and emotional pressure, had no choice.\nUpdate: In April 2009, the Supreme Court of the Philippines overturned the conviction of Daniel Smith.",

        "raw_content": "Retreats and Quiet Days\nSpiritual Mentoring Forum 2018\nWelcome to Charis Training\nIntimacy with God through the experience of grace\nDue to personal circumstances I am unable to lead either retreats or seminars this year.\nFind out more about my books, and how to purchase them.\nFeel free to get in touch with me if you would like to learn more.\nCharis Training reflects the teaching and training ministry of Tony Horsfall. Tony is married to Evelyn, and they have two grown-up children. They live in Cudworth, near the town of Barnsley in Yorkshire, England.\nTony Became a Christian at the age of 14, being converted in the Methodist Chapel in the village where he grew up in Yorkshire, England. After studying at London Bible College, where he graduated with a BD (Hons), he completed his teacher training at Carnegie College in Leeds (CertEd).\nAfter a short spell of teaching, Tony & Evelyn joined the Overseas Missionary Fellowship, and worked in a church planting ministry in Sarawak, Malaysia (1975-83). They returned to England and Tony pastored a church in West Yorkshire until 1993, when he became a full-time trainer with EQUIP, a missions training programme based at Bawtry Hall near Doncaster.\nIn 2000 Tony began to explore contemplative spirituality, seeking to integrate its insights into the evangelical and charismatic framework. Convinced of the importance of intimacy with God as the foundation of all effective ministry, he moved into a freelance ministry in 2002, with the intention of helping others to experience the grace of God in their lives and to be drawn into a closer fellowship with Him.\nTony has been involved in the leadership of Ackworth Community Church for over 20 years. He regularly travels to Singapore and Malaysia to share the message of grace and intimacy with missionaries and church leaders. For several years he served as Pastoral Carer for Mission Aviation Fellowship, regularly visiting their teams in seven African countries.\nIt is the aim of Charis Training to enable individuals (an especially those in full-time Christian ministry) to experience the wonderful grace of God in a personal way, and as a result begin to enjoy the kind of intimacy with God that is promised to us in the Bible, and which leads to a fruitful and effective life.\nTony is available to come and share with your church or organisation, and the following pages give an indication of the kind of topics he loves to teach. Please note that he does not himself organise training events.\nDesigned, Supported and Hosted by Mirata Ltd",

Chiropractic care is available virtually all day to support staff, but especially during the evening hours after the firefighters return from over 12 hours of grueling work on the fire lines.\"\nThe chiropractors involved organized a state-wide chiropractic relief effort that included stations at locations such as a local fairground, a fire department, and a high school.

Make the unknown known\nDo you have friends? Do you know them? Their names? parents ? brothers? sisters? How he / she looks like? His / her colour? eyes? nose? hair? handwriting? voice?\u2026 How often do you meet together? Can you say some of the characteristics of your friend? \u2026\nSuppose I am an unknown friend of you. If you had dialled my telephone number two years ago and we got acquainted by phone and if we had continued our conversations but had never met, what would you really know about me? You say \u201cI would know the sound of your voice as it comes from the phone.\u201d You wouldn\u2019t recognize me if you saw me on the street, in the church, or in the school. But when the day comes when we meet face to face you see what I look like, my colour, shape, size, voice\u2026 If we have a meal together one day you will come to know what I like most and what I dislike\u2026\nWhat makes you a person? Is it your physical body? Surely not. It is sure you have been to a funeral and have seen a body lying in a casket. Are you looking at a person? No! You are looking at a dead body.\n] You must realize that what makes a person is not the body.\nInstead, the person is what comes from within the body.\nEmotions, Will, Intellect, Feelings\u2026.\n] You learn volumes about people when you meet them in person\n2. Is Holy Spirit a Person? Let us look at the Word of God\nTry to find out some characteristics of the Holy Spirit (His attributes, actions etc.) from the following Scriptural verses:\na)\u201cI pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation as you come to know him\u201d (Eph. 1, 17).\nb)\u201cThe spirit of the Lord shall rest on him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord\u201d (Is. 11, 2).\nc)\u201cAnd God, who searches the heart, knows what is the mind of the spirit, because the spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God\u201d (Rom. 8, 27).\nd)\u201cAnd we speak of these things in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the spirit, interpreting spiritual things to those who are spiritual\u201d (1Cor. 2, 13).\ne)\u201cAnd do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with which you were marked with a seal for the day of redemption\u201d (Eph. 4, 30).\nf)\u201cI appeal to you, brothers and sisters, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to join me in earnest prayer to God on my behalf\u201d (Rom. 15, 30).\ng)\u201cAll these are activated by one and the same Spirit, who allots to each one individually just as the Spirit chooses\u201d (1Cor. 12, 11).\nh)\u201cFor all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God\u201d (Rom. 8, 14).\ni)\u201cIt is that very Spirit bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God\u201d (Rom. 8, 16).\n\u201cBut the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and remind you of all that I have said to you\u201d (John 14, 26).\nThe Holy Spirit has the attributes of personality such as intellect, will, emotions or sensibility. He performs the actions of personality. That is, He teaches, guides, convinces, commands and directs people. He performs miracles and intercedes for us. The Holy Spirit is a person. He can feel, perceive and respond. He gets hurt. He has the ability to love. He speaks and He has His own will.\nExactly who is the Holy Spirit? He is the third person of the Holy Trinity- the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of the God the Father and the Spirit of the God the Son. He is the power of the Holy Trinity.\nWhat is His job? The task of the Spirit is to bring into being the commandments of the Father and the performance of the Son. To understand the job of the Holy Spirit we need to understand the work of the Father and the Son. God the Father is the one who gives the command. He has always been the one who says, \u201cLet there be\u201d. From the beginning, it has been God who gives the orders. On the other hand, it is God the Son who performs the commands of the Father. When God the Father said, \u201cLet there be light,\u201d God the Son came and performed it. Then, God the Holy Spirit brought the light. This can be illustrated through an example: If the teacher asked you, \u201cplease turn on the light,\u201d three forces would be involved. First, the teacher would be the one who gave the command. Second, you would be the one who walks to the switch and flips it. In other words, you are the performer of the command. But finally, who brings on the light? It is not the teacher, and it is not you. It is the power- electricity- that produces light. Similarly the Holy Spirit is the power, who brings forth the commandment of the Father and the performance of the Son.\nHoly Spirit is the most precious loveliest person on the earth. God the Father came to do His work through the Son, Jesus who was resurrected. When God the Son departed, God the Holy Spirit came, and He is still here doing His work. As you began to know the Holy Spirit, you became sensitive to Him and learned what grieves Him and what pleases Him. What He likes and what He doesn\u2019t like. What gets Him angry and what makes Him happy.\nFellowship with the Holy Spirit\nDo you want to meet the Holy Spirit intimately and personally? Do you want to hear His voice? Are you prepared to know Him as a person?\nWe need friends, we need to be together, and we need helpers. Most of our human friends may remain with us only for a brief period of time. But we have a friend given by Jesus, who remains with us always- THE HOLY SPIRIT. The Holy Spirit is a person, a helper and a personal friend. He has emotions, an intellect and a will. He wants to relate with us. He longs to have fellowship with us. The Holy Spirit is not only a power but also a person; not only a force but a friend.\nIf we are in fellowship with the Holy Spirit our approach to prayer will change. That is, there are no requests or petitions in fellowship. If we asked, \u201cWould you please bring me some food?\u201d That is a request. But fellowship is much more personal. \u201cHow are you today? Let\u2019s have breakfast together!\u201d That is fellowship. So we have to remember that there are no selfish requests in fellowship- just friendship, love and communion.\nThe Holy Spirit is a gentleperson. He doesn\u2019t enter your room until you invite Him. He doesn\u2019t sit down until you ask Him. He doesn\u2019t speak to you until you speak to Him. How long will He wait? Until you speak to Him. It could be months- even years. He will just wait and wait and wait. So you will never know His power, you will never know His presence until you go and sit beside Him, invite Him and speak to Him.\nLet us be filled with the Holy Spirit\nAll the Christians are expected to be filled with the Holy Spirit. A mature Christian is a person who is controlled by the Holy Spirit. Thus a person may be immature in two reasons: either because he has not been a Christian very long or because, even though he has been a believer for a time, he has not been filled by the Spirit and therefore has not made any growth in the things of the Lord. The opposite of being controlled by the Holy Spirit is being controlled by the flesh or carnality. Carnality and spirituality are basically matters of control. Although each kind of controlled life will, of course, exhibit distinct characteristics. But it is the control- not the characteristics- which makes one either carnal or spiritual.\nThe character of being filled\nA drunken person is controlled by the liquor which he has consumed. Because of this he thinks and acts in ways normally unnatural to him. Likewise, the person who is Spirit- filled is controlled, and he too acts in ways that are unnatural to him. Hence St. Paul says, \u201cDo not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit\u201d. Thus being filled with the Spirit is being controlled by the Spirit.\nIn order to being filled with the Holy Spirit we have to live a dedicated life. That means we have to offer ourselves once and for all to the complete direction of the Holy Spirit. If the Holy Spirit directs us we will recognize our sins and soon we will move away from the path of the sin.\nThe consequences of being filled\n1.A Christ-like character (Gal.5, 22-23). The gifts and the fruits of the Holy Spirit will make us become like Christ.\n2.Worship and praise (Eph. 5, 18-20). The Holy Spirit helps us to pray and brings us to the mood of continuous worship and praise in our hearts.\n3.Submissiveness (Eph. 5, 21). The Holy Spirit makes us more and more humble.\n4.Service (John 7, 37-39). The believer not only satisfies himself but he overflows in service to others. This overflowing is the ministry of the Holy Spirit through a controlled life.\n1. Wisdom:-\nWisdom is the supreme gift of the Holy Spirit. The gift of Wisdom gives us knowledge about divine things. It also gives us the experience of the divine things. This gift enlightens us to divine things which are beyond the reach of mere human understanding. One who has this gift shows interest in practising moral virtues. Besides it develops a discriminatory sense for worldly pleasures.\n2. Understanding:-\nThis is the gift that discloses inner meanings of the mysteries of faith. Through this gift one gains power to understand the Scripture. By this gift we get a special insight to interpret in relation to Jesus\u2019 life the events taking place around us.\n3. Counsel:-\nA person gifted with Counsel can take quick decisions in difficult matters. God reveals to them what to say or do. When somebody comes to them for advice, they are able to answer and direct them in the proper way by this gift.\n4. Fortitude:-\nIt is a gift that gives strength and inspiration to do difficult tasks with joy. With this gift we are able to endure till the end even in very difficult tasks.\n5. Knowledge:-\nIt is a divine gift which helps us to grasp the relationship between the Creator and the created. The person gifted with knowledge gains a special power to view all creatures as the handwork of God. They can discern their spiritual condition as well as that of others. It enables them to discriminate what is to be renounced and what is to be accepted. This gift teaches that the worldly pleasures are more trifles.\n6. Piety:-\nIt is a gift which generates a child-like love towards God. With this gift we are eager to be absorbed in God while we live and even to face death in order to become one with God. St. Paul says, \u201cFor me to live is Christ, and to die is gain\u201d (Phil. 1, 21).\n7. Fear of the Lord:-\nThis gift denotes more the fear of God than the fear of sin. It is reverential fear rather than the fear of punishment. This gift helps people to venerate God so that their unlimited freedom will not lead to destruction.\nThese excellent gifts of the Holy Spirit are meant for personal spiritual life and growth. The signs of the presence of these gifts in a person are the fruits of the Holy Spirit.\nHow to make good choices?\nIt is sure that we all have certain moments in our life which make us in a confused state. Either the matter is great or small we have to make a decision. We have to make a choice between the two. How do you know which is good or which is bad? What is your criterion to choose among the two? What is your guiding principle in selecting good or bad?\nHere is an open ended story. Try to complete this story.\nIf you completed the story try to answer these questions:\n1.Was it easy for you to do this work?\n2.What are your feelings after completing this story? Happy, unhappy, satisfaction, dissatisfaction, doubt\u2026?\n3.What are the difficulties that you faced in completing this story?\nRead the Gospel passage, Mk. 10, 17-31 carefully and reflect on the following questions.\n1.What did the young man seem to want most?\n2.Was he a good person? How did Jesus feel about him?\n3.Why was the young man sad at Jesus\u2019 invitation?\n4.What did the young man really think was important to him and his happiness?\n5.What do you think of his choice?\n6.How do you think the young man felt as he walked away?\nHow we are able to do right choices? It is the HOLY SPIRIT, our constant companion, who helps us to do this. How?\nLet us compare the behaviours of five wise virgins and five foolish virgins from Mathew 25, 1-13. (Read this Bible passage and write down the comparisons).\nOur day to day life is filled with many choices. We have to choose how we will act. Sometimes it is hard and sometimes it is easy. Our happiness and that of other people depend on how we choose. We can choose in two ways:\nWe can be unselfish or selfish.\nWe can be kind or mean.\nWe can care about others or not care.\nIn the letter to the Galatians, St. Paul speaks about Jesus\u2019 way (Gal 5, 22) and the way to sin (Gal. 5, 19).\nJesus\u2019 way\nThese are called the fruits of the Holy Spirit. They are the effects of the gifts of the Holy Spirit in us.\nThe second way leads to sadness. It is the way of sin that brings \u201cfornication, impurity, licentiousness, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, anger, quarrels, dissensions, factions, envy, drunkenness, carousing etc. (Gal. 5, 19).\nHow to distinguish the Holy Spirit from other spirits?\nThere are various spirits functioning in our life: the Holy Spirit, the human spirit and the evil spirit. If we are making some decisions according to our selfish interests only, then the spirit works in us will be the human spirit. If we are in a state of sin then the evil spirit will work in us. If that how do we know the working of the Holy Spirit in us? We can know it as the following way:\nIf Holy Spirit works in you\n\u201c You will feel joy and peace always in your heart and mind.\n\u201cThere will be harmony inside and outside you.\n\u201c All your doubts will be disappeared.\n\u201cYou will get clear idea about your actions.\n\u201cYou will experience calmness.\n\u201c You will love all.\n\u201c You will pray before any action.\n\u201c Whatever you do will be good for others too.\n\u201c You will respect your parents, teachers and elders and will ask their advice.\n\u201c You will turn away from your bad habits.\n3. Let us relive the Word of God\nApplication to life\nRemember the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit which you have received through the sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation. Renew your faith in this Holy Spirit now and then.\nAs a group go for a \u2018Faith experience retreat\u2019.\nSurrender yourself fully to the leadership of the Holy Spirit during Holy Communion.\nMake intercessory prayers for the special intention of receiving the gifts of the Holy Spirit for the whole community.\nPractice to say \u2018no\u2019 to one of your bad habits.\nMake a discussion to find out the existing evils in your group and contribute possible ways in order to overcome those.\nRecite this prayer: \u201cSpirit of the living God, fall afresh on me.\u201d\nArrange special group prayers for receiving the gifts and the fruits of the Holy Spirit.\nTry to enjoy peace and happiness in the heart in your community life.\nEvaluate the real peace and joy of the community as a whole and find out the moments of failure in discerning the Spirit of God, which destroys the real joy and peace of the community. Try to make good choices in an atmosphere of prayer.\nSend a letter to your friend with suitable reflections in order to help him/her to make a proper decision.\nSpend one day as a group with the people who long for the love of God, especially, the poor in the village, prisoners, orphans etc.\nPrayer: O Holy Spirit, infinite love of the Father and the Son, accept my total surrender. Teach me to be always a true child of God. Abide in me and grant me that I may abide in you, that I may love as you love. Keep me open to your promptings and inspirations, and lead me in the ways of Jesus, Our Lord. Amen.",

        "raw_content": "Do you feel so overwhelmed with planning your wedding that you feel like your not moving forward as quickly or as efficiently as you would like to be? You\u2019re not alone! Planning a wedding is an epic task and it can be so hard to get started when your so overwhelmed with everything that needs to be done, but using the big day as your motivation and our list of questions, we can help you take the first steps in planning the best day of your lives!\nWhat Will be the Most Important Aspects of my Wedding Day?\nKnowing what aspects of the day will be most important to you will seriously help you plan your spend and give you an idea of what you will need to budget. If for example you really want a videographer to capture the day they you know to set aside \u00a31-\u00a32k for this service. If you discover that this will leave you short for money in a few other areas, you can then look at the items that were at the bottom of your list and decide whether or not these are really worth having in order to free the extra money for the things you really want.\nWhen do I Want to Get Married?\nSetting a date is a key detail. You will need to know this for every aspect of the wedding whether it be for finding a venue, booking the caterers even when buying a dress as designers will need to know when any alterations will need to be completed by. If your struggling start by narrowing down the year and month, then pick a few dates within that month that would work for you and go from there. Trust me, once this is decided you will be well on your way to planning your wedding.\nDeciding on your budget is something I have spoke about here many times before. I cannot emphasize how important it is to create a budget and even more important to not lose sight of it.\nWhat do I Plan to Get Done in 6 Months, 9 Months, a Year?\nIt\u2019s easy to forget that Rome wasn't built in a day and the same goes for planning a wedding. It doesn't (usually) just happen over night. Set yourself realistic goals in the next 12 months I will\u2026.. In the next 9 months I will\u2026 We created a handy little checklist to help with this which you can download here.\nWhat Type of Decor do I Want at Our Wedding?\nYou might have a long ol\u2019 list or Pinterest boards full with ideas for your wedding but have you really taken the time to a.) decide if you really want them and b.) Are they going to be realistic? It\u2019s no good deciding you want to a clean minimalist feel if you want to book a stately home or a festival wedding in the midst of an British winter. List a few of your favourite ideas and chat them over with your venue and other suppliers to see if they can be realistically incorporated in some way.\nDo I Have a Back Up Plan?\nPlanning a wedding can be a stressful experience for some and unfortunately there are times when things can go wrong. A supplier might have to pull out at the last minute or you might find your dress doesn\u2019t quite fit how it was supposed to? Having a back up plan is crucial and will certainly help reduce your anxiety levels should something not go to plan on the day.\nHow Will I Make Sure Everything Is Done In Time?\nHave you taken on too much? Are you running out of time? Forgot to confirm something at the last minute? To make sure none of these things happen it\u2019s important to try and split task between you and your other half. You could also rope in the help of other people such as family and friends. If you have a good support system assigned from the very beginning you should be able to find just the right balance in making sure everything runs smoothly in the lead up to your big day.\nHow do I Know If I\u2019ve Taken on Too Much?\nMost brides and grooms-to-be start out at the beginning of their wedding planning journeys with hundreds of ideas for their wedding but the key is to be realistic. So if you have planned to DIY all your wedding stationery, decorations and favours for your wedding, but work a 40 hour week and have a young children to look after, when you will find the time to fit in some major DIY sessions? The answer is \u2018you probably wont\u2019 so except this and set yourself some realistic goals about what you can and can\u2019t achieve so that you don\u2019t take on more than you can handle.\nWho Shall I Choose for my Bridal Party?\nDeciding on bridesmaids or groomsmen can sometimes be tricky but in order to make good choices it\u2019s important to have a clear understanding of what you will expect from them. If for example you would like your maid of honour to plan your hen party, help with planning the wedding and partake in your late night DIY sessions its probably not going to be a good idea to ask your best friend who has a toddler and newborn that demands most if not all of her time. It\u2019s not fair on your or her and could put a lot of strain on your friendship. If however all you would expect is for her ply you with champagne on the morning of your wedding and make sure your make up doesn\u2019t run then ask away. Just have a clear understanding of what you expect from your bridal party and clue them in on what will be expected of them too.\nWho do I Want to Invite to my Wedding?\nYour guest list might be as long as your arm and there are probably hundreds of people you wish you could invite to your wedding but once again you need to ask yourself, is this realistic? How many people can your venue host? How many people can you afford to feed? If your struggling to narrow it down, take a step back, to gain some perspective, take a look at your list and ask yourself who out of all of them do you really want to be there? Then ask yourself out of all of them who do you think should be there? And finally ask yourself out of all of them who would your family want there?\nOnce you have divided your list into three focus on the list of people you really want there as these are the ones you will appreciate the most.\nSo how did you find the questions? Did you find the answers you needed to start moving forward? Tell us how your planning is going?",

        "raw_content": "Commentary: A week with the heroes\nJason Chaffetz: Trip to Iraq, Afghanistan bolstered my faith in troops\nChaffetz: Troops endure sacrifices, including being away from their families\nHe says he's concerned we're trying nation building in Afghanistan\nHe says we have to pick our battles, decide where we can make a difference\nJason Chaffetz says a trip to Iraq and Afghanistan gave him a new appreciation for those living in the war zones.\n(CNN) -- I spent a week during the congressional recess in the presence of true heroes -- men and women serving in our armed forces who live in the war zone, fight the enemy, risk their lives and depend on our support.\nWe see images from the theaters of battle, and we hear stories. But standing there in my helmet and flak jacket, surrounded by weapons and hearing about IEDs that had detonated just a day earlier, gave me a new appreciation for those living in the war zones of Iraq and Afghanistan.\nI felt a profound sense of responsibility. I am now in a position to cast a vote on how this war is fought. Nearly 5,000 U.S. troops have lost their lives in this fight. Thousands more are forever changed because of their experiences here.\nIn Afghanistan, I met a Utah woman who had left her young children in the care of her ex-husband while she fights in one of the most dangerous places in the world.\nI recognized the longing in her tear-filled eyes as she talked about her children. Being away from my own children has been the greatest challenge of my job in Congress. But it pales in comparison to this woman's sacrifice for her country.\nWe have to get this right. I'd love to believe that we can right all the world's wrongs and somehow save the planet from poverty and strife. But we have to pick our battles. We have to decide where our resources can make a difference and where they can't. Going to the theaters of battle was a critical step for me in understanding the depths of the individual policy initiatives.\nChaffetz: GOP wants a census it can count on\nOur first stop was Iraq. I was very encouraged as we listened to the generals on the ground. Gens. Raymond Odierno, Charles Jacoby and Frank Helmick explained the goal: to return the country to Iraqis with an internal security force capable of protecting the country.\nOn this goal, I stand with President Obama. He's right to follow the advice of the generals on the ground rather than the pundits in the newsrooms. The objective is clear, the goal within reach, and the exit strategy aggressive.\nAfghanistan, on the other hand, is a completely different situation. There, we seem to be doing two things: fighting the enemy and building the country. I support the first goal, but I have grave reservations about the second.\nAl Qaeda and the Taliban have proved to be dangerous enemies. Our military and intelligence services need to continue to do what it takes to root out these forces and to make sure they have no haven anywhere in the world. Resources spent pursuing this objective are well spent.\nNation building, on the other hand, is unrealistic and, in my opinion, would take decades to accomplish. This is a country with many strikes against it. There is a high mortality rate -- with an average life span of only 47 -- minimal infrastructure and limited tools for economic development.\nThe country has been at war for more than 30 years. It's a dire situation that would take decades and untold billions of dollars to rectify. Even then, there is no guarantee our efforts would be successful.\nI applaud the great work done by the troops on the ground in Afghanistan, ensuring there is no haven for terrorists. But after visiting the war zone, I have serious questions and reservations about participating in long-term nation building there.\nThere is absolutely no substitute for seeing the war firsthand. Two years ago, I could never have imagined the experiences I have had in the past few months. These are complex problems with costly solutions. Given the gravity of our job in Congress and all that is at stake in these wars, I applaud each and every member of Congress who has taken the time to visit the region.\nMore importantly, may God bless the men and women who are voluntarily serving the call of their country at great personal cost. Their efforts ensure our safety and security here at home.\nAll About Iraq War \u2022 Afghanistan \u2022 Al Qaeda",

        "title": "Ocean View votes down proposed sidewalk trust fund | Coastal Point",
        "raw_content": "Ocean View votes down proposed sidewalk trust fund\nThe Ocean View Town Council this week voted not to create a sidewalk-maintenance trust fund, on a split 3-2 vote, with concerns expressed about which sidewalks would and would not be covered by the maintenance fund.\n\u201cThis does not refer to any existing sidewalks,\u201d explained Town Manager Conway Gregory on Aug. 9, during a hearing for the second reading of the proposed ordinance.\nTown Councilman Tom Sheeran voiced his concern that residents who already have sidewalks would feel like they would be paying for other peoples\u2019 sidewalks without getting any benefits for their own.\n\u201cThese trust funds are looking with an eye to the future,\u201d responded Gregory. \u201cIf we\u2019re going to have sidewalks, then this trust fund is absolutely necessary for the financial wellbeing of this town. Now is the time to be saving the money.\u201d\nResident George Pickrell pointed out that many developments\u2019 homeowners associations have reserve funding set aside for sidewalks within their communities, and Public Works Director Charlie McMullen reminded council that all sidewalks erected in the town would be covered under the proposed ordinance, including the sidewalks to be added during the Route 26 widening project and those put in by subdivisions, if and when it passed.\nTown Solicitor Dennis Schrader suggested that the Town do an inventory of all sidewalks within the town, both those owned and those not owned by the Town, and the estimated repair costs of all those that would exist the day the ordinance would be approved.\n\u201cMaybe that information would be helpful on making a decision on a potential trust fund in the future,\u201d Schrader said.\nResident Steve Cobb said he believed the ordinance should be voted down.\n\u201cLet\u2019s do some more work on this,\u201d he suggested.\nAs proposed, the fund would have comprised an initial $10,000, coming from impact fees, with an added 25 percent of eligible transfer taxes. Any interest accumulated would go directly back into the fund.\nBy the 2017 fiscal year, the funds would have become available, following an assessment or study of the sidewalks to determine if any maintenance, repair or replacement was necessary. Such a study was to be conducted every five years from that point on and repairs would only have been administered if the estimated cost would exceed $10,000.\nMayor Gordon Wood and Councilman Bob Lawless voted in favor of the ordinance, with the other three members of the council voting successfully in opposition.\nOn Aug. 9, the council held a first reading of an ordinance prohibiting people from sleeping outdoors or in a motor-vehicle in a public or semi-public place.\n\u201cOver the last few summers, we\u2019ve experienced people living out of their vehicles within the town limits of Ocean View,\u201d explained Ocean View Police Chief Ken McLaughlin. \u201cThis is not to trap the mom or dad taking a little cat nap. The ordinance is to discourage the people sleeping overnight.\u201d\nCouncilman Geoff Christ said he was \u201cbehind the spirit\u201d of the ordinance but was concerned with how it could affect residents.\n\u201cMy boys and I camp out in our front yard,\u201d he said, questioning whether or not they would be subject to a fine.\nSchrader said the proposed ordinance could be revised to exclude those persons sleeping outside on their own property.\nLawless said he agreed with Christ\u2019s concerns, noting that people take naps in development pools, and perhaps even in council meetings.\n\u201cI\u2019m just concerned this is extremely broad,\u201d he said.\n\u201cWe\u2019re really relying upon the police department to exercise good judgment and discretion when enforcing the ordinance. \u2026 The enforcement of the ordinance is really addressing issues similar to, if not quite, vagrancy,\u201d responded Schrader.\nA second reading of the ordinance is scheduled for the September council meeting.\nTown\u2019s 2011 audit reviewed\nThe town council on Aug. 9 was also presented with an independent report on the yearly audit, conducted by Jefferson, Urian, Doane & Sterner PA. Auditor Jean Schmidt reviewed the report with council, bringing attention to several points of interest from the 2011 fiscal year.\n\u2022 The Town\u2019s Public Works Department was approximately $106,000 under budget.\n\u2022 The Public Safety Department was approximately $1,400 under budget.\n\u2022 Capital expenditures for the town were under budget by approximately $84,000.\n\u2022 The town\u2019s water system funding increased by $11,280, which Schmidt said was mostly attributed to grant funds left over from the original funds granted to the town to build the water system.\n\u2022 The town in total had a bottom-line net income of $694,418 for the year.\n\u201cThis report is encouraging,\u201d stated Wood.\nIn other news from the Aug. 9 meeting:\n\u2022 The Town received one bid for the 2012 General Reassessment Project.\n\u201cEvery five years we are required by our charter to reassess our properties and readjust property values at that time to determine fair market value,\u201d said Gregory, adding that the town is a year behind schedule on that assessment.\nThe town budgeted $120,000 for the project, which was bid at $70,000. Gregory added that the winning bidder, Property Tax Associates, has done the work for the town the last five years.\nCouncil unanimously voted to accept the bid.\n\u2022The Ocean View Historical Society requested to be put on the Sept. 13 town council meeting to discuss their request to move the town\u2019s old post office onto town property.",

        "raw_content": "Home / Who we Are / Our History\nThe history of the Assynt Centre in Lochinver and Community Care Assynt are closely interlinked. The Assynt Centre was set up originally in 1984/5 by Kirk Care as a Daycare Centre, with residential respite care added later. Subsequently, the local authority took over operations, but in 2005 the residential beds were closed and in 2006 the 24/7 respite service was downgraded to weekdays and a limited number of weekends per year. A community group formed, the \u2018Assynt Centre Action Group\u2019, to lobby for the return of more respite opportunities.\nWhen in February 2010 the Highland Council decided to close the Assynt Centre, the community swiftly stepped up to the mark and put together a business plan to run local services themselves with a new company \u2013 Community Care Assynt CIC. The local authority, the Highland Council, agreed to financially support the newly formed Community Care Assynt (CCA).\nThe newly formed organisation reopened the doors of the Assynt Centre on 1 September 2010.\nStarting initially as a Community Interest Company our first few years taught us it would be more sustainable to apply for Charitable Status instead. On 15th April 2014 the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator awarded Charitable Status to Community Care Assynt Ltd.\nThrough the years we have seen increasing support needs emerging from our existing service users at the Assynt Centre. A needs-assessment in 2012/13 found that while initially almost two thirds of regular service users lived independently and were able to visit the Centre most regularly, additional support would become necessary to allow people to continue to remain active in their community and peer-group. This led to CCA registering with the Care Inspectorate in 2013, which now enables us to provide personal support to up to 5 clients on any day, which enables us to make sure as many of our service-users can use services and stay involved in their peer group for as long as possible.\nSince 2010 CCA has grown organically and has aimed to provide core services to local residents in the most straight-forward way possible. We have analysed local needs, learnt from feedback from our community and service-users, and are continually developing. A full history and background on services, as well as an outlook to future challenges, can be found in our 5-year-report here",

For those targeted, the check will be done for no charge by a practice nurse, Dr McBain says.\n\u201cThe campaign is pretty simple. We want more people to have their heart checked, to get some information on their risk as well as some advice on strategies they can use to improve their heart health.\u201d\nShe says heart disease (or cardiovascular disease) is the leading cause of death in New Zealand, accounting for 40% of deaths per annum. \u201cOne New Zealander dies every 90 minutes from heart disease. That is 16 people a day and many of these deaths are premature and preventable.\n\u201cWe\u2019ve learnt that by identifying people who are at higher risk and having their doctor prescribing suitable medicines and giving them advice on what they can do to improve their own health will reduce the number of heart attacks and strokes and the consequences of those on partners, family and the community.\u201d\nCompass Health PHO, which supports 59 medical practices in Wellington city, Porirua and Kapiti, is investing considerable resources in the campaign, by funding and supporting the practices to undertake the heart checks.\nThe heart checks are funded for those eligible \u2013 specifically M\u0101ori, Pacific and Indo-Asian men aged over 35 and women over 45, and European men aged over 45 and women over 55 who have not had their cardiovascular risk assessed in the past five years.\nNearly 28,000 people are eligible and due for the funded check, and the PHO hopes a good proportion of those will have their heart checked during the two-month campaign.\n\u201cUltimately we want people to think that it\u2019s important to get their heart checked every five years, just like it\u2019s important that their car\u2019s roadworthiness is checked regularly \u2013 whether they think something is wrong or not,\u201d Dr McBain says.",

        "raw_content": "Causes and Treatment of Low Libido in Men\nCoping With Toxic Relationships\nRelationships Spouses & Partners Marital Problems\nThe 6 Most Common Causes of Reduced Sex Drive\nLow libido is a term used to describe a decrease in sex drive that can interfere with sexual activity. While low libido can cause tension in a relationship, fostering doubt and guilt in both partners, It can often be treated if the underlying cause is identified.\nLow libido should not be confused with erectile dysfunction (ED), although the two conditions can co-exist. Communication and honesty are needed for a couple to cope while identifying the possible causes. Treatment can vary and may involve psychotherapy, hormone replacement, lifestyle changes, or the adjustment of drug therapies.\nLow libido can sometimes be caused by a single factor but is more often related to multiple factors that each contribute in their own way. Among some of the more common causes are low testosterone, medications, depression, chronic illness, and stress.\nLow testosterone (hypogonadism) commonly develops as a man ages but can also affect younger men for any number of reasons. Testosterone is the male hormone essential to development, strength, and sex drive. If the total testosterone drops below 300 to 350 nanogram per deciliter (ng/dL), the male libido can plummet, sometimes dramatically.\nWhile testosterone replacement therapy may be useful in restoring the male sexual drive, it may increase the risk of blood clots and strokes in men with an underlying cardiovascular disorder. Sleep apnea, acne, and breast enlargement (gynecomastia) are other common side effects.\nMedication side effects are common causes of low libido in men. These may include entire classes of drugs that can affect a man's sex drive to varying degrees. Common culprits include statins, beta-blockers, antidepressants, antipsychotics, benzodiazepines, and anticonvulsants.\nEven over-the-counter drugs like Tagamet (cimetidine) can cause problems if taken for long periods of time. Stopping or changing the suspected drug may reverse the condition, although this is not always possible with certain chronic medications. A dose adjustment may also help.\nDepression and low libido go hand-in-hand. Depression is often the cause of a reduced sex drive but may also be the consequence, making a tough situation worse. While psychotherapy may be effective in treating the depression, antidepressant medications can often exacerbate rather than improve the loss of libido. Switching drugs or reducing the dosage can sometimes help. Some couples will also dose after sex to minimize the potential effects.\nChronic illness can take a toll on your sex drive both physically and emotionally. This is especially true with conditions for which there is chronic pain or fatigue, including rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, cancer, and chronic fatigue syndrome.\nWhen it comes to chronic illness and the loss of sexual function, there is rarely a straight line between cause and treatment. On the one hand, chronic illness is associated with an increased risk of depression, while, on the other, it can directly interfere with hormonal, neurological, or vascular functions central to the male sex drive.\nMoreover, the medications used to treat the chronic condition (such as chemotherapy or cardiovascular drugs) may directly impair the male libido. As such, your doctor may need to explore the cause both from the perspective of the chronic illness and irrespective of the chronic illness. In some cases, multiple doctors may be needed.\nStress and Sleep Disorders\nWhile stress can impair sexual interest by literally driving you to distraction, its effect on the sex drive is more insidious. Stress triggers the production of cortisol, a hormone that functions rather like a body's built-in alarm system. Cortisol not only causes the constriction of blood vessels, contributing to ED, it can cause a precipitous drop in testosterone.\nStress is also linked to insomnia and other sleep abnormalities, which can increase the risk of fatigue and leave you less interested in sex. There is even some evidence that elevated cortisol level may increase the risk of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a condition associated with the reduction of daytime testosterone by anywhere from 10 to 15 percent.\nTreatment may involve stress management techniques and the use of positive airway pressure and improved sleep hygiene to treat conditions like OSA and insomnia. If the stress is associated with an anxiety disorder, medications may be needed, some of which (like benzodiazepines) may enhance rather than alleviate low libido.\nThere are lifestyle factors that may contribute significantly to low libido in men. These tend to more readily remedied by simply changing or stopping the behavior. Among them:\nSmoking not only directly increases the risk of ED but indirectly impairs sexual arousal, according to a 2012 study from the University of Texas Austin.\nAlcohol, when used in excess or over the course of years, redirects enzymes needed to synthesize testosterone from the testes to the liver, resulting in reduced testosterone levels.\nObesity directly impairs metabolism and hormone function, resulting in significantly reduced total and free testosterone. By contrast, exercise and weight loss not only enhances mood and energy levels, it improves sexual function and self-image.\nWhile the detrimental effects these behaviors are clear, it is never wise to \"pin\" low libido on single lifestyle factor without first conferring with a doctor to explore all other possible causes.\nIf the loss of libido is affecting your relationship, you need to take extra care to avoid directing blame at yourself or your partner. Instead, you would be well served to approach solutions as a couple, neither assigning it as \"his\" issue or \"my\" issue but rather one to which you both actively participate.\nThis requires an open and honest communication about not only the physical symptoms of low libido but the emotional ones. Doing so allows you to identify which doctor or doctors are needed to diagnose and hopefully treat the condition.\nThis may include an endocrinologist, urologist, chronic disease specialist, psychiatrist, sex therapist, or other health professional. There may not be a quick fix, but, with time and patience, a solution may be found.\nIn the meantime, try to remind yourself that the loss of sexual desire is not the same thing as the loss of a desire for intimacy. Even when struggling with sexual dysfunction, make every effort to connect emotionally and physically. By doing so, you can forge a closer bond and may even end up strengthening your relationship.\nCrawford-Anchour, C. Stress hormones in obstructive sleep apnea complications: the role of cortisol.

Horst was a photographer known best for his fashion advertising and portrait work, though he maintained a strong interest in still-life, interiors and landscape photography throughout his career. His elegant, classically inspired, yet thoroughly modern style greatly influenced the genre of fashion photography.\nHorst Paul Albert Bohrmann attended philosopher Graf Keyserling's \"School of Wisdom\". Initially interested in architecture, Horst would enter the Hamburg Kunstgewerbeschule to design furniture. In 1930 he moved to Paris where he worked under architect Le Corbusier. In Paris he met Baron George Hoyningen-Huene, a photographer for French Vogue magazine, who would become a life-long friend and teacher. It was at this time that Horst began to experiment with photography. His first published photo was for French Vogue, appearing in the November 1931 issue. The 1930's were an exciting time for Horst; his work was published and exhibited in both America and France. His circle of influential friends grew to include French aristocrats, and artists such as Jean Cocteau, and fashion designer CoCo Chanel all of whom he photographed.\nHorst received American citizenship in 1943, and changed his name to Horst P. Horst. He was drafted and served as a war photographer for the American army. Three years later he published \"Patterns from Nature\" a collection of plant and flower still lives.\nThroughout his life Horst travelled the world, moved in rarefied circles and photographed the lovely, beautiful, exotic, strange and effusively wealthy. His early career is marked by a controlled in-studio practice, his later career by in-situ photography and experiments with colour. He received an honorary Doctorate from the University of Bradford in 1989.",

        "raw_content": "Relax Recycling Centre rules to help combat fly-tipping: Byrne\nRegulations governing the access and usage of the Council Recycling Centre in Crossmaglen must be relaxed to address the growing issue of domestic dumping in the south Armagh area, a local councillor has claimed.\nSDLP Councillor Pete Byrne says he is calling on Newry Mourne and Down District Council to consider reducing its restrictions on vans and commercial vehicles being permitted access to the site, which may help combat the rise in illicit dumping of waste at roadsides.\n\u201cI have called for rules surrounding the access to Crossmaglen Recycling Centre to be relaxed to ensure the Council does all within its power to address the issue,\u201d he said.\n\u201cAt present, there are restrictions on vans and commercial vehicles being allowed access to the Crossmaglen facility to offload domestic waste. This only encourages the type of dumping that we have seen in recent times and the subsequent clean-up is a further drain on Council resources.\n\u201cCouncil policy also restricts the amount of waste that is kept on site in Crossmaglen. This includes restrictions on the capacity of skips and number of disposed appliances the site can store. If these policy restrictions remain in place, we must ensure that waste is removed as soon as possible to ensure we don\u2019t turn people away.\u201d\nCouncillor Byrne says he has asked \u201con numerous occasions\u201d for the restrictions to be changed and has welcomed a commitment received from Council officials to review its policy.\n\u201cIt is important that we maximise and enhance the potential of our own facilities to ensure accessibility,\u201d the councillor said. \u201cWith the Slieve Gullion area fast becoming the biggest tourism driver within this district, it is a shame that we continue to have problems with dumping and fly tipping. These are just a couple of common sense measures that will make the Crossmaglen Recycling Centre more accessible to those looking to dispose of domestic waste. It is within our gift to transform how the Crossmaglen facility operates and we shouldn\u2019t allow policy to block the potential to address this issue.\u201d",

This is why many people have turned into their favorite online nutrition stores to be able to optimize their health. It will be the ideal way that people have seen to make them be able to find their ideal vitamins or even the other nutrients that they do eat enough. It will be necessary to have the said guidelines which will be key in the steps required when it comes to launching the website for these nutritional products.\nIt will be necessary to ensure that you get to know your target market too well in this case. In the said business, it is very wrong to fail to know the kind of market that you will have. You will need to identify the market. This will let you know which problems you will be able to solve the problems that your customers face each day.\nThen go and see who your main competitors are and find a way to provide what their clients complain about. There are many websites which will give you the people who deal with the same products as you. You will have to look at the market needs and also the customer perspective in this case. Once you understand your clients it will be very easy to know what you are ready to bring in the market.\nEnsure you have a glimpse of what is marketable ion the markets out there. If you have found that your customers are lacking something like the fat burners then consider having it on the site. When you look at the online store consider making a list of what you will really have. You will find that most of the things that you put there will be those that were named when you were undertaking the survey. You will need to ensure that you provide a good quality survey to the people in this case. At this point also consider the cost that you will price the supplements at.\nIt will be necessary to look at the shipping done or even hire people to do it. It will be quite easy to have a high demand in this case so the third party will be important for the transport needs. It will be easier to make sure that all the client\u2019s needs are met on the right time and also the demand is kept in the right manner.\nMore ideas: try this",

        "raw_content": "How close are we to an alien invasion?\nNASA/Courtesy\nBy Claralyse Palmer | Staff\nSOGA works hard to maintain the student garden\nOn July 14, NASA held a panel discussion regarding the search for potentially habitable worlds and the existence of life on other planets. The panelists included some prestigious names \u2014 John Grunsfeld, an astronaut who personally repaired the Hubble Space Telescope multiple time while it was in orbit; John Mather, the 2006 winner of the Nobel Prize for physics; Sara Seager, a professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a 2013 MacArthur fellow; Dave Gallagher, the director of the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Matt Mountain, an astrophysicist who holds professorial roles at both Johns Hopkins and Oxford University.\nIn short, these scientists spent an hour and a half talking about the advancements NASA has made in coming closer to finding life outside of earth. Here are your key points:\nFirst off, all the panelists firmly believe that life exists outside of our earth.\nTelescopes are the key to discovering life in other solar systems. Launching past telescopes, such as the Hubble, Spitzer, and Kepler telescopes, helped us discover some major things that got us to where we are today, including these facts:\n1) The universe is constantly expanding\n2) We now have technology to see what chemicals are in the atmospheres of planets all throughout space. There are certain chemicals or gases that can be found in these atmospheres that are indicative of life because they can only be released by living organisms.\n3) The universe is huge. In the past five years, we\u2019ve realized that there are BILLIONS of planets out there. Every star you see in the night sky likely has at least one planet around it.\nThese discoveries have come together to mean one thing: We\u2019re closer to finding life elsewhere than ever before by using telescopes to analyze the chemical composition of planet atmospheres. But we\u2019re also now faced with a challenge that we couldn\u2019t have imagined five years ago \u2014 the absurd size of the universe.\nWe need bigger telescopes to be able to handle the newfound largeness of the universe. NASA offers the James Webb Space Telescope as a step toward solving this problem. As a reference point, the JWST is 6.5 m while the Hubble is 2.4 m, so it is much larger and gives us a higher chance of finding life outside of earth.\nJWST is unlike anything we ever could have imagined, but we would still have to get absurdly lucky to actually find Earth-like planets with just JWST. Because of the immense number of planets in our universe, a 6.5 m telescope is good but not good enough.\nIn short, we should all be excited because NASA is going to launch an insanely huge rocket carrying a large telescope into space in October of 2018. Though we have made strides towards discovering extraterrestrial beings, there is still a lot of work ahead.\nWe asked Alan Gould, a Kepler co-investigator for education and public outreach who also happens to work for a research-based science curriculum program called FOSS, which is stationed at our very own Lawrence Hall of Science. In other words, Gould is very informed about NASA\u2019s telescopes and search for life elsewhere, and he is also an active member of our Berkeley scientific community.\n\u201cIt is an age old question: Are we alone in the universe, or are there other intelligent beings out there for us to somehow meet up with? JWST will be the biggest telescope to be deployed in space, EVER. It\u2019s way bigger than Hubble Space Telescope, and Hubble found so many surprising things. So there\u2019s no telling what JWST can find for us. Kepler could detect planets but had no capability to tell if a planet had atmosphere, which is so important for life. JWST has capability to detect atmosphere and even composition of atmosphere,\u201d Gould explained.\nImage Sources: Featured Image, Image 1, Image 2, Image 3, Image 4, Image 5\nContact Claralyse Palmer at [email protected].\nalan gould, aliens, berkeley, habitable planets, NASA, science",

(Cliff Grassmick / Staff Photographer)\nA group of University of Colorado researchers is working on creating the next generation of robots that could be more powerful and perform more efficiently than humans \u2014 but they offer assurances they're not aiming to have the human race overtaken by automated overlords.\n\"We want to do the opposite,\" said Christoph Keplinger, assistant professor in CU's Department of Mechanical Engineering and senior author of two studies published Thursday in the journals Science and Science Robotics. \"We want robots who will be our friends and help us.\"\nDitch images of clunky hunks of metal when envisioning these new technologies. The devices dreamed up in the basement of the CU Engineering Center are soft, self-healing and mimic biological muscles.\nThe robotic devices can execute a selection of tasks like grasping delicate objects, including raspberries and raw eggs, and lifting heavy objects. The technologies exceed or match the strength, speed and efficiency of biological muscles, which Keplinger said make the devices ideal for advanced prosthetic limbs or creating more human-like robots that can assist around the house.\nThe paper coming out in Science introduces a new kind of actuator, or device that creates movement. This paper advances the research behind prosthetics and the life-like capabilities of robots. The second paper, in Science Robotics, broadens the materials used for these devices and dives into future possibilities for the robots' industrial applications.\n\"Think about a hummingbird and the high speed of its wings,\" Keplinger said. \"Then think about the power of the trunk of an elephant. At the same time, think about an octopus arm, which is extremely versatile and can squeeze through tiny spaces.\"\nKeplinger and his crew are enabling all three of those functions in their new creations.\nWhat sets these new technologies apart from other soft robots: they don't need a pump, water source or high-pressured air system to function.\nInstead, the CU researchers found success creating a less bulky, self-healing device in the aisles of a local supermarket. Canola oil was a key ingredient in the robots' self-healing abilities, allowing for more reliable use in everyday life, the researchers said.\nKeplinger is used to fielding questions from concerned citizens about the potential of such powerful scientific advancements.\n\"I've heard people say we're enabling the robot apocalypse,\" he said. \"But we want to improve the quality of life or help people who have lost limbs. We have a very positive region of robotics.\"\nEric Acome, lead author of the Science paper, and Nick Kellaris, lead author of the Science Robotics paper, have been working on these projects for around two years.\n\"It feels pretty amazing to see the reception so far,\" Acome said. \"We're really excited about the future for this technology. Publishing in Science and Science Robots in the same day is a pretty big deal. It speaks to the importance of the work.\"\nBobby Braun, dean of CU's College of Engineering and Applied Sciences, knows the researchers' findings will make a huge impact in the robotics community.\n\"The research coming out of Dr. Keplinger's lab is nothing short of astounding,\" Braun said. \"He and his team of students are helping create the future of flexible, more-humanlike robots that can be used to improve people's lives and well-being. This line of research is a core, interdisciplinary strength of our college.\"\nNext up, the team hopes to work with CU to investigate options for creating a company for this technology.\n\"We'd like to do this as soon as possible to start making an impact on people's lives,\" Keplinger said.\nElizabeth Hernandez: 303-473-1106, hernandeze@dailycamera.com, twitter.com/ehernandez\nPh.D. candidates Eric Acome, left, and Nick Kellaris put together a membrane that will contract and lift weight Thursday as part of a University of Colorado robotics project, the results of which were published in the journals Science and Science Robotics.

        "raw_content": "Women's Lacrosse: Sophomore excels for nation\u2019s second-ranked \u2018D\u2019\n04/11/13 4:00am By Ian Erhard\nSophomore defender Hollie DiMuro (25) has helped Rutgers, the nation\u2019s second-best scoring defense, allow double-figure goals only twice. DiMuro causes more than one turnover on average per game.\nDefender Hollie DiMuro manages to stand out on a team that ranks second in the nation in scoring defense.\nThe sophomore leads the Rutgers women\u2019s lacrosse team in caused turnovers and groundballs and stands among the top 30 in the country in both categories.\nBut that does not stop DiMuro to stress how important her teammates are to her success.\n\u201cThey allow me to go out and do what I do best, which is cause turnovers and get groundballs,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd I know if I don\u2019t get it, they have my back.\u201d\nWith a defensive corps that consists mainly of juniors, DiMuro fits right in. She is in her third year on the field after redshirting her freshman season.\nIn her first full season of action, DiMuro started each game and led the Scarlet Knights in groundballs with 30 to go along with 23 turnovers.\nIn Sunday\u2019s game against Syracuse, she surpassed her groundball total from last season with four, in addition to three caused turnovers.\nHer performance can be somewhat credited to a personal rivalry.\n\u201cI played at high school with one of the girls [on Syracuse],\u201d DiMuro said. \u201cShe was playing offense, I was playing defense, and it was just going head to head. I think I came up really big with it.\u201d\nWhile the Knights lost that game, along with their two previous Big East matchups, the defense has maintained its solid play.\n\u201cAs a defense, we\u2019re keeping our goal up and I think we\u2019re rising to the challenge,\u201d DiMuro said.\nAfter allowing 10 goals against the Orange, the defense has allowed opposition double-digit scoring only twice. The other occasion was a 12-10 victory on March 19 against Princeton.\nAssistant coach Lisa Staedt Ojea noted the importance of DiMuro to this defense as an individual player.\n\u201cHer play can make us or break us, and she\u2019s told that all the time,\u201d Ojea said. \u201cBut the bottom line is, we know she can create a lot of opportunities for our team, we have to have her back.\u201d\nDiMuro averages more than one caused turnover per game, but Ojea said the Knights\u2019 defense must be ready to back her up incase she misses.\nWith prior experience coaching at Louisville, James Madison and Virginia Tech, Ojea credits the pure talent of this team to its ability to be so stingy in allowing goals.\n\u201cThey don\u2019t do anything special, we\u2019re not in a high-pressure defense,\u201d she said. \u201cWe\u2019re not in a defense that\u2019s creating things you don\u2019t see from other teams. What you are seeing is people going into double teams and everybody having each others\u2019 back.\u201d\nShe said the defense has learned from her and progressed since she arrived at Rutgers last season, but she noted the players\u2019 talents go far beyond her coaching.\n\u201cThis year they\u2019ve taken all the tools I\u2019ve given them, plus a great core of returners, and then they\u2019ve made it their own,\u201d she said. \u201cThey\u2019ve used what I\u2019ve given them, and then have taken off and done things that I can\u2019t teach them that are just so much more instinctive.\u201d\nBy Ian Erhard",

        "title": "Daniel Williams - Texas: Wendy Davis Gets Anti-Bullying Legislation Right",
        "raw_content": "SB 245 by Wendy Davis is the most comprehensive, thoughtful, piece of anti-bullying legislation filed this session. The bill is almost identical to HB 224 filed by Mark Strama in the House last month, but corrects one very important omission present in that bill.\nBoth bills offer a fairly comprehensive approach to fighting bullying. They requires all school districts to create a training program for staff, volunteers who work with students, students and parents designed to teach them to prevent, identify and respond to bullying. They also would allow school administrators to transfer bullies to a different class or campus than their victims if the victim's parents or guardians request it (under current law only the victim may be transferred) and create a uniform definition of bullying in the education code, adding cyberbullying.\nBoth bills would allow school administrators to address cyberbullying that takes place off campus if the electronic communication is received on campus or at a school event or if it substantially disrupts school operations, and include a requirement that schools report statistics on bullying to the state. It's in the specifics of the reporting requirement that the bills differ.\nThe House bill requires school districts to report if the cause of the bullying was based on actual or perceived race, ethnicity, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national origin or disability. The Senate bill has the same requirement, but includes Gender Identity and Expression in it's enumerated list.\nBeyond adding a provision that will help transgender kids, the Senate bill is far more useful to Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual (and for that matter, Straight) students than the House version. More often than not, when kids are bullied for being queer it's not because of who they are attracted to, but because they are not conforming to other students expectations of how men and women are supposed to behave.\nDavis served last session on the Senate Education Committee and is likely to do so again this session. Having a voice on the committee will help her in her efforts to pass this bill.\nIt's exciting to see this bill in the State Senate. The Texas Senate has historically been reticent to tackle the issue of bullying. Last session only two bills were filed on the topic, neither of which got a hearing (SB 29 (81R) by Zaffirini and SB 1725 (81R) by West) neither of which was as comprehensive as this bill.\nIt is generally harder to pass a bill in the Senate than in the House. Senate rules require that bills be considered in the order they are filed. Each session a \"blocker bill\" is filed early on. By general agreement this bill sits at the front of the line and no action is taken on it. It requires 2/3 of the Senate to set aside the rules and consider a bill out of order. With the blocker bill at the front of the line holding everything else up this means that, effectively, a Senator must get 2/3 of her colleagues to agree that voting on a bill is a good idea in order for it to pass.\nSince passage in the Senate is a larger hurdle, having a bill that is this strong start on the Senate side gives me hope that we may actually see some real action taken by the legislature this session to fight bullying.\nUPDATE: WFAA in Dallas has a short interview with Davis saying the bill was inspired by Fort Worth City Council Member Joel Burns famous \"It Get's Better\" speech. Burns was elected to fill the seat Davis held before running for for State Senate.\nThanks to Dallas Voice's Instant Tea Blog for pointing this out.\nUPDATE (03/01/11): Davis has substituted the language on her bill SB 242 to make it a companion of Rep. Strama's HB 224 - the language of the two bills is now identical\nLabels: Bullying, Judith Zaffirini, Royce West, SB 242, SB 245, Wendy Davis",

Longer term informal support and guidance was incorporated to help ensure the effective delivery of the service in the first 12 months.\nSupport to entrepreneurs in Uganda\n\u200bDuring 2016 and 17 I worked with a small number of disabled people in Uganda to help develop their business plans for social enterprises. We focused on what they need to acquire donations and raising their profile to inform potential donors of their activities through social media. Support is ongoing and has been provide don a probono basis. The success of the support has led to us beginning to develop a not for profit in the UK to channel such work in the future.\nDevelopment of Maker Communities for Low Cost Assistive Technologies\n\u200bWhilst at an early stage we have been seeking to gather information and designs to facilitate the creation of social enterprises to fabricate and distribute low cost simple aids and appliances in communities where the cost of importing commercial solutions is a barrier. Some of the resources gathered and curated can be found on the resources page of this website. Extensions of the project that are anticipated include work on developing the skills of the teams involved in fabrication, building business plans for distribution and identifying source of components within communities that are of a high quality. The work seeks to address the WHO 50 priority assistive technology list by offering an alternative means of distribution.\nDevelopment of AAC and AT services in Pakistan and Middle East\n\u200bDuring the past year I have been engaged in a series of advisory and consultancy visits to services within Pakistan and the Middle East to advise on how current provision can be developed and enhanced. Much of this work has been to assist services in identifying sources of support, identifying barriers and applying creativity to resolve the barriers experienced.\nIn addition I have agreed to serve on program committees and to speak at a series of events in 2017, including\nATIA Jan 2017\nm-enabling Summit JJan 2017\nATTopia conference in Shahjah March 2017\nIn 2009 I was invited to Qatar to review their proposals to create an assistive technology center. I returned in early 2010 as a consultant then as Deputy Director leading to me taking over as CEO for a period of three years.\nMada was charged with addressing the underlying weaknesses in the access ecosystem in Qatar. The historic system was deeply flawed with limited assistive technologies support Arabic, no process of identifying needs and solution and no training resources to build capacity. Over the coming six years we sought to systematically address all elements of the ecosystem leading to awards as Innovative Practice and Innovative Policy at the UN Zero Project awards of 2014.\nThroughout the period in Qatar, we sought to respond to the increasing need and to understand the challenges we faced. Underlying work and research was completed on Barriers to uptake of assistive technologies, the localisation of AT for language and culture, capacity building within the Middle East and key issues of transfer of knowledge across cultures. These pieces of work informed the development of services and the approach to the emerging ecosystem. A range of documents were produced in partnership with organisations from around the world, that took into account national and regional needs. These included guides to support at events, employment, a guide for schools, procurement of accessible technology, localisation of accessible technology and a guide to web accessibility.\nResearch papers were produced during this time on many of the other topics, but also included the creation of Arabic evaluation measures based upon the PIADS scales and the creation of creative commons Arabic symbols to support developers of communication aids.\nThe final project completed during my time at Mada, were wide ranging policy reviews. Having worked with the Ministry for ICT on the creation of a National eAccessibility policy in 2011, we reviewed this in 2015 and built a model of eParticipation for people with a disability to inform the next iteration. Alongside this work we engaged vendors to identify international standards and best practices for implementation to inform the detail of the next iteration of the eAccessibility policy and in addition completed a wide ranging review of the policy landscape to identify recommendations for access and inclusion over the coming 10 years.\nDisruptive Innovation and the AT industry\nDuring 2016, I began work on research into the growth of disruptive innovation and the impact upon the assistive technology industry. This work was initially published in the New Statesman and a more detailed summary of the trends will be published in early 2017 as a chapter in an edited book on the future of AT. The analysis presented has also provided the basis of presentations at conferences and events and has further led to work with developers and entrepreneurs to help identify opportunities for disruption and explore how more established companies can respond and react to the threat to their business.\nATIA \u2013 International Ambassador 2017\nAt the ATIA conference in Orlando in 2017 I acted as the International Ambassador to support delegates from different parts of the world to make the most of the opportunity presented by attending. In this role I helped identify training session of relevance, supported visits within the exhibition and sent up one to one meetings with vendors and delegates to discuss areas of mutual interest. The role was well received and will be maintained for ATIA 2018\nEntrepreneurship and People with a Disability\nIn this project, I undertook a review and gap analysis of international best practice with local initiatives. The project explored the needs of people with a disability and created guidance to inform stakehoders. The package included a business case explaining the value of entrepreneurship for people with a disability, identified successful disabled entrepreneurs and sought to address the factors and steps that were central to their success.\nBusiness Case for Investment in provision of AT for Ireland\nThis consultancy work was carried out during 2016 to support Irish NGO\u2019s in creating a business case for increased investment in the provision of assistive technologies to people with a disability. Working as part of a small team with Irish colleagues, my role was to engage in a review of international models of provision, investigating the strengths of weaknesses of each, to review trends in AT development and distribution, to outline the initial business case for provision from a variety of perspectives including financial, social, political and legal, and to construct a model of funding (AT Passport) which could be used as the basis of provision in Ireland in the future.\nWhilst working in Qatar we engaged with multiple vendors to localize assistive technologies to support Arabic language. In total 35 products were brought to market over a period of 3 years. These laid down a basis of demand that has led to further products being introduced to the market since the program was completed. In determining the products to be brought to market a call for Arabic assistive technologies with seed funding available to mitigate the risk of investment. An analysis of user needs and demands was completed which led to criteria for selection of the products that were required.\nThe funding provided to the vendors was repaid to Mada by the provision of licences for the products for distribution in Qatar. In this manner the cost of bringing the products to market was zero for Mada and funded through our provision model.\nThe products that were brought to market included technologies for people with physical disabilities, reading and writing needs, hearing loss and visual impairments. They included both proprietary products and open source solutions. The impact of the investment opened up opportunities for the vendors in other countries across the Middle East.\nThe lessons learned from the complex processes of localisation for language and culture were documents into an AT localisation framework, which was also summarised into presentations at conferences and events globally. http://localisation.atbar.org/\nPolicy \u2013 Landscape Review\nThe final project completed at Mada was a wide ranging policy review looking at all aspects of the policy landscape in Qatar to identify over 100 recommendations for change. The review was founded upon the key areas of the UNCRPD and fell into three key phases\nInternational review of effective practices leading to impact upon the lives of people with a disability. Within this review we explored underlying and substantive policy and law from countries from across the world, as well as the ways in which such underlying principles were integrated within specific domains such as employment, justice and transport.\nPhase 2 used local team members to review the current legal status of people with a disability within Qatar, and to identify the current public policy across all sectors, and specific policy generated by government bodies within discrete domains. The ways in which such policy was co-ordinated across ministries and the consistency of interpretation of the rights of people with a disability was tested through a series of interviews with people with a disability and senior civil servants working within government departments\nPhase 3 took the two datasets produced and cross referenced one to the other, identifying areas of strength and weakness leading to the full list of recommendations and a roadmap for implementation.\nTechshare Middle East\nTechshare Middle East was and still is the largest conference on access and inclusion through technology ever established in the middle east. With over 50 speakers, 500 registered attendees and spread over 2 days it drew an audience from across the region and speakers from across the world. The conference was delivered on a budget of only \u00a335,000 and was supported by corporate sponsors, attendance was free to all those wishing to take part.\nTechshare also included a range of hands on workshops that were designed to build capacity within the region, these workshops drew in both researchers and Assistive Technology companies from Europe and the US.\nMy role within the planning and delivery of the conference was to lead the team, this included the venue team, planning and logisitics, funding team, program team and the creation of the Techshare ME website. The role was very hands on, creating the website directly and directing on site logistics.\nAbilityNet \u2013 National Network of Services\nI worked for 10 years at AbilityNet the UK NGO focussed on digital inclusion of people with a disability. During that period I was appointed as Director of Operations, and spent periods as Acting CEO and Director of Development.\nDuring this period my main role was to oversee the creation and sustainability of a network of regional centres established across the UK. The centres covered the whole of the UK including Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales and operated to deliver technology to people with a disability regardless of Age, setting or aspiration. Hence the centre delivered a range of services including assessments of need, AT training, training for professionals and technical support services. The models we created were replicated within Europe and then in other parts of world.\nOne of the key functions that I held at this stage was to oversee the development of the team members and the quality assurance of the services that we offered. We adopted a very proactive model of review with customers and clients that fed directly into the service delivery model, the proactive model led to a very high level (94%) of customer satisfaction and very low levels of complaints (less than 3 a year for 5 years).\nThe other key function that we held was to create a business model that did not require the end user to contribute to the costs of their services. As a result we diversified our operations to work across all settings including education. This gave a diverse range of income which included charitable income, voluntary donations, government grants and fees and direct fees from the private sector for goods and services. We were also successful in working directly with the IT industry to obtain gift in kind most specifically office space at Microsoft, IBM, BT, HP and Agilent. This reduced the overhead of the organisation and hence made us less vulnerable to market fluctuations and the cycle of recession that emerged.\nGlobal Market for Access Technologies, Trends and Analysis\nFor this project, the client wished to understand the underlying trends in provision of assistive technology products, consultancy and training to inform their procurement of such services and products in the future. We undertook a review of providers and vendors divided into the US, Europe and the Middle East, South America, Asia and Australia identifying the current state of the AT ecosystem in each and the range and scale of providers, mapping out their availability and the key issues that needed to be considered in procurement.\nDEFRA was a government ministry that undertook in major transition of its technology base around 2005. 3000 employees were to be transitioned onto Windows Vista from a mixture of earlier versions of windows dating back to Windows 3.1. The transition highlighted a series of workplace issues for employees with a disability, where the technology was not standardized with individual buying their own equipment and claiming it back on expenses, or simply just buying. As a result there was no way of knowing what technology was in use and whether it could transfer onto the new platform.\nAs a result we began a lengthy period of engagement to address the issues raised. Initially this took the form of user acceptance testing to identify which AT were likely to be supported on the enterprise version of the platform \u2013 taking into account security issues as well as the OS and hardware identified, this gave us a basis upon which a number of the users could transition with local support which might mean patching or upgrading their software. However for a number of users a new solution would need to be found and we created a triage model of telephone review which could be escalated to a face to face review of needs to identify suitable solutions.\nThe final transition took place over a number of weeks, the team working on the project were also employed to \u201cwalk the floor\u201d during the transition in order to support any problems that individual users had in moving to their new platform and the new assistive technologies where supplied.\nFinal review three months later ensured that all employees with a disability were able to make the transition at the same pace as their peers.\nThe project was a significant one and the models and approaches that were developed in seeking to make a transformational change within the ministry were replicated at other government departments and private companies over the next 3 years.\nFoundations in Assistive Technology Accredited Training with Enable Ireland\nIn 2002 I was asked to work with Enable Ireland \u2013 the Irish charity for people with Cerebral Palsy to develop an assistive technologies foundations course. The course that was created has been through several iterations, but was based upon content that delivered a breadth of resource in 10 days of training. Various forms of this content have been delivered throughout the world, with variations created in Ireland, UK, Shahjah, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. A new version is currently being created for deliver in Malta.\nThe course explores a range of issues related to the implementation of Assistive Technologies and draws upon a wide range of national and international examples. The course is highly regarded and is wide ranging, areas of content include settings (education, employment, social) Needs (VI, AAC, PD, Dyslexia, hearing etc) and functions (assessment, implementation, funding etc) The course has been enhanced with elearning modules and has been accredited by differing national bodies.\nIn 2015 I began work on an advanced qualification with Qatar University, founded upon a competencies model. A portfolio approach was created with competencies on core areas, disability needs and settings. The approach identified sources of evidence for competency and was due for implementation in 2016. Changes in Qatar delayed this taking place.\nAccessAT and AccessFun\nWhilst working in the UK, I led the development of two collections of open source assistive technologies which sought to support public access centres, schools, and young people with a disability. The collections were based upon work done by RSC Scotland in creating eduapps, a collection of software for students in higher education. In creating the collections we were able to reduce the costs of providing access at libraries, museums and universities, The collections were made available on a pendrive and were freely distributable, or the collection was available to purchase if preferred.\nThe business model behind the drives lay in the training and support that libraries required to make best use of the software, this provided a small but significant income which covered the costs of development. On demand training materials were made available through YouTube and a moodle installation for elearning.\nAccess Fun was designed to highlight the potential of gaming for people with a disability. Similar to Access AT it was a pendrive filled with games that were accessible to people with a visual impairment, and physical or learning disabilities. The drives were very popular with parents, and were part of a drive to encourage interaction with technology by people with a disability rather than passive recipients of content. The business model was very small and the drives were available to download or were given away free on training for teachers, therapists and parents.\nBuilding schools for the future was a major UK government initiative between 2005-2010 designed to refurbish or rebuild every school in the UK to meet the future needs of generations. My work on the projects were complex, I worked with consortia that were bidding on contracts for school districts, my role was to review the proposals, identify areas of special educational need provision that were impacted and to make recommendations as to how those needs could be met through the physical spaces created and the integration of accessible technology. We were funded by the lead companies to ensure that any requirements for SEN were addressed and that innovative solutions were integrated to strengthen the overall bid.\nWhere the bidding teams were successful, the proposals included a series of hours available to schools as a service level agreement. As schools were redeveloped, I was directly involved in transitioning the existing technologies on to the new networks and enhancing those with new technologies including immersive and virtual environments. As well as the technology integration services we also provided training and support to the schools to meet the needs of their students.\nThese hours were made available to schools in the form of an SLA, an increased number of hours were available to schools with a focus on SEN and a reduced number to mainstream schools where some needs were accommodated. Schools were supported to review procedures, identify the use of technology in teaching and learning, supported to match student needs to technology and to identify school policy to ensure that the technology was effectively used.\nThe program was closed down when there was a change of government in 2010, many schools were left with insufficient funding to deliver all of the previous commitments, as a result a group of colleagues developed a pro bono model to address the gap that emerged using social media and online learning.\nThe Communications Aids Project (CAP) was established through funding by the British Educational Computing and Technology Authority (Becta) It ran for four years from 2004-2008. Five independent NGO\u2019s were funded to deliver evaluations of need and provide the required technology to local authority schools across England. The scale of such a model was beyond the ability of the five organisations to deliver directly, as a result a model of validation of local authority reports by LEA officers, or individual teachers in schools was created with the NGO officers reviewing each case and intervening to provide the technology required, or escalating the case to specialist team members.\nCAP addressed the needs of learning with SEN from 5-19, and included a range of needs impacting on both verbal and written communication. Importantly as well as the direct impact upon learners the project was recognised as being extremely successful in building the capacity of schools and authorities to evaluate needs and recommend solutions. The project was closed after four successful years when government priorities. However, the model was then further used by a number of authorities who took on SLA\u2019s with one or more of the original NGO\u2019s to maintain the activity.\nIn 2004/5 I was funded by Microsoft to work on the development of emerging Assistive Technology services with Aperons a charity and NGO established in Riga, Latvia. As an eastern European nation emerging from many years of influence from the Soviet Union there were very clear and challenging restrictions on funding. As a result we developed a model of services that created capacity ityhin the country, through the direct employment of people with a disability. The model created on demand resources across social media and elearning, and made maximum use of open source and free solutions to increase impact of available funding.\nIn working with colleagues in Latvia we needed to address the complexity of language and culture within the state and the newly merging public private partnerships to deliver services\nThe lessons learned from this work were used to support other services across Eastern Europe.\nNational Curriculum Development Team\nIn the mid 1990\u2019s I was seconded to a National Curriculum Council project in the UK to work on the implementation of the new National Curriculum for children with Special educational needs. A team was created at the Cambridge Institute of Education to review current provision and to identify how the new curriculum could be differentiated to meet the needs of those with special and profound needs. The project was to lead to national guidance on a curriculum for students with special needs in which I drafted the sections on ICT and on Mathematics as well as contributing to the wider remit of the team across the whole curriculum.\nIn developing the approaches to the new curriculum, the team were asked to work in a number of schools throughout the east of England to test approaches and to develop materials with practitioners. Those materials that did not make their way into the final official guidance were published separately by David Fulton Publications \u2013 these included redefining the whole curriculum for pupils with SEN, Mathematics for All, ICT for All and Internet for All, in addition NASEN published my work on Spiral Mathematics.\nAt the end of this work I was appointed to a senior post at Meldreth Manor School, a residential school for pupils aged 5-19 with profound needs, I remained at the school for 10 years with 4 years as headteacher.\nDuring the period 2004-2008 I established a two projects to deliver remote evaluation of needs, technical support and AT training to people with a disability across the Internet. The projects were based in Scotland and Wales and sought to deliver cost effective approaches to people with a disability in remote and rural areas. In addition a third project was established London to address the problem of travelling across London in heavily congested areas. The two projects used mainstream technologies, Skype and TeamViewer to observe the user, intervene and recommend technology and finally provide technical support and one to one training. The projects were well received and had additional benefits by allowing people with a disability to provide a significant part of the delivery team as they were able to work from home.\nThe projects were successful and the concepts and approaches were replicated by other organisations in Eastern Europe and Turkey. As a result of the lessons learned the same principles were applied to professional training and awareness through the use of Social Media and eLearning.\nSocial Media and eLearning\nAs a result of changes in the way people accessed information and the rapid growth of social networks, I developed a series of social media profiles for organisations to reach out to professionals and people with a disability through the channels they preferred to use and in online communities where they chose to congregate. By adopting a proactive approach to the use of social media we successfully generated increased use of the online tools that had been developed. A very clear relationship was established that social networks could drive traffic towards free and paid resources, enhancing rather than replacing traditional communication and marketing techniques\nMore recently, I have integrated the social media networks into approaches to elearning allowing for core repositories to be established in the cloud and implemented and integrated into learning materials as required.\nCurrently I am using the follow social media channels to gather and distribute resources.\nI am currently also exploring the use of channels to gather and distribute designs for 3D printables and AT instructables based on low cost local DIY materials",

        "raw_content": "The DO of Cigales lies to the north of the Duero valley, running north along the river Pisuerga valley from the city of Valladolid in the south toward Palencia in the north. The DO Cigales is situated within the province of Castille y Le\u00f3n, which also includes the better known wine region of DO Ribera del Duero.\nAt 700-800m above sea level and an Atlantic influence, this region is characterised by hot dry summers, and harsh cold winters. In the summer daytime temperatures can reach 39\u00b0C, but winter temperatures can fall to -6\u00b0C. The region is subject to severe frost and fog in the winter and spring, which can pose a danger for the vines especially in the spring as they begin to bud.\nThe DO receives around 400-450mm of rainfall per annum (irregular but mainly in autumn and spring) and over 2,600 hours of sunshine.\nNear the Pisuerga river the soils are alluvial with sand, lime and clay. The vineyards on the slopes are generally planted on a mix of clay, marl and limestone.\nAlthough a fairly recently established DO, like Ribera del Duero, Cigales is producing wines that can mature over a very long period of time. This is thought to be due to the effect the climate and terroir have on the Tinto del Pa\u00eds grape, which appears to have more acidity and be less likely to oxidize than Tempranillo grapes grown elsewhere in Spain. A minimum of 85% Tinto del Pa\u00eds and Garnacha Tinta must be used for red wines to be recognized by the DO.\nPermitted varieties of grape for the production of red and rosado wines are: Tinto del Pa\u00eds, Garnacha Tinta, and Garnacha Gris.\nFor white and rosado wines the permitted varieties are Albillo and Verdejo.\nConsejo Regulador for DO Cigales\nC/Corro Vaca 5\nEmail: consejo@do-cigales.es\nWebsite: www.do-cigales.es\nLocate Cigales on Map of Spain\nBodegas from Cigales on our wine list:\nBodegas Sinforiano Vaquero",

        "raw_content": "There's nothing like jumping out of a plane to help you get over the break-up blues! Sure, I had always said that skydiving was on my bucket list but never did I think that it would actually happen - at least not any time soon - or that I would be jumping out of a plane to get over a boy, especially one that I wasn't even dating! But hey, we've all been there. If my friend needed a distraction to forget about guy troubles, who am I to let her down by not joining her in her crazy idea?\nI would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous. For days before we went, I was consumed with anxiety and felt like I was walking around in a daze. Even after signing all the paperwork and watching the instruction video, it just didn't seem real to me. Thankfully, the instructors at Skydive Newport were awesome! They calmly answered all my questions about how the parachutes work - and there were a lot of them. I wanted to make sure that I wasn't nuts handing my life over to some string and a cloth!\nAfter taking off and climbing for about ten minutes, everything suddenly became very real. Leaning out of a plane at 10,000 feet will do that to you! Fortunately, I didn't have much time to ponder my situation...the door opened, Rich my jump instructor, turned me to the side, and out we went, somersaulting out into the blue yonder.\nTypically you free fall for about 40 seconds before the shoot opens. Before jumping, I envisioned that 40 seconds feeling like hours of terror, but I am happy to report that wasn't the case at all. I laughed my whole way down...it was a blast! The views from Block Island to Boston were unbelievable. They were so distracting that I didn't even think about the parachute not opening. Complete euphoria! I actually wish the free fall had lasted even longer, but I must admit, it was calming after the shoot opened and the adrenaline died down. We fell slowly for another 5-10 minutes while Rich let me steer the parachute and then guided us toward the airport to land.\nThough the entire experience lasted less than half an hour, it was one of the best half hours I've ever spent in my life. I can't believe I did it but it was totally exhilarating. If you are in Rhode Island any time soon, consider skydiving with Skydive Newport. As they say, the sky's the limit, so test yours! You wont regret it!\nYou can view my entire experience here.",

        "raw_content": "Rosetta Mission Gets Nine-Month Extension\nSpacecraft: ESA/ATG medialab; Comet image: ESA/Rosetta/NAVCAM\nThe European Space Agency today announced a nine-month extension of its Rosetta mission. Originally scheduled to run out of funding at the end of this year, the mission has now been given funding to continue September 2016.\nThe spacecraft is currently in orbit around Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, which is nearing perihelion (the point of its orbit when it is nearest to the Sun). After September 2016, astronomers believe that the comet will be too far away from the Sun for Rosetta's solar power systems to charge, effectively ending the mission.\n\"This is fantastic news for science,\" remarked Rosetta Project Scientist Matt Taylor. \"We'll be able to monitor the decline in the comet's activity as we move away from the Sun again, and we'll have the opportunity to fly closer to the comet to continue collecting more unique data. By comparing detailed 'before and after' data, we'll have a much better understanding of how comets evolve during their lifetimes.\"\nESA officials are tentatively planning to land Rosetta on the comet's surface at the end of the mission.\nRosetta is largely considered to be one of the most successful space missions. The spacecraft was the first to perform a close flyby of Jupiter using solar power and the first to accompany a comet toward the inner solar system. Its companion lander Philae was the first to perform a controlled touchdown on a comet nucleus. As Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko approaches the Sun over the next several months, Rosetta will be the first spacecraft to observe the Sun's impact on a frozen comet.\nClick here for more information from the European Space Agency\nLearn more about comets:\nMaking a Comet\nIt's comet-making time in the kitchen of an astrophysicist.",

        "title": "Early 2015 technology market update \u2013 Energon People",
        "raw_content": "A new client of ours recently asked us to provide an update on what\u2019s happening in the development and technology market right now, so we thought we would share it here:\nThe introduction of the HTML5 standard has precipitated the rise of the OO Javascript, Javascript frameworks (Angular, Ember) and full stack Javascript (NodeJS, Empress, Angular) developer skills.\nThese skillsets are now commonplace in the contracting world, although developers with greater than 3 years solid experience in pure Javascript development is rare as the language has not been used in its present sophisticated form for longer than this time.\nThe Angular, Ember and NodeJS frameworks are not older than 3-4 years. Prior to this Javascript was almost exclusively used as a \u201ctoy language\u201d, one to be used in conjunction with an OO language like Java, C# or PHP on the front end.\nConsequently there is a large skill shortage in this area, so we have seen all the usual signs of a hot market \u2013 other developers hurriedly converting to this language, most of the supply is contract based, developers coming from overseas to fill the skill gap, permanent salaries are outstripping like for like with the standard OO language developers. Many of the enterprise scale companies have attempted to solve this supply problem by creating their own Javascript expertise through graduate schemes.\nThe Ruby, Python & Javascript languages are the development languages of choice for start-ups.\nSome banking bonuses have recovered however most of the top investment banks appear to be planning to pay a low or zero bonus again this year.\nBig data technologies continue to revamp the Business Intelligence industry with Hadoop, Mark Logic, MongoDB and AWS leading the way. Handling data in general is a big trend in the market and therefore we also seeing a new cadre of developers who are interesting in specialising in C++.\nThe internet security market continues to grow as more and more awareness of security vulnerabilities are exposed. We see this is a long-term, large-scale trend in the technology recruitment industry.\nScala and other functional languages are today, less \u201cthe nextbig thing\u201d and are now far more mainstream. It appears that the hype over the past 4 years has not transpired into Scala pushing any of the major development languages (Java, C#, C++, PHP, Python Ruby, C, Objective-C) off of the top most used positions.\nWe now see web specific languages and frameworks far more frequently on developer CVs than previously, reflecting the general buoyancy of internet-based eCommerce business, e.g, Ruby on Rails (RoR), Grails, Django, and C# MVC.\nMention of the Agile methodology appears to have become compulsory citation for developer CVs.\nDevOps continues to be a hot market with supply generally not meeting demand. Much of the market is therefore contract based or skillsets reflects recently acquired skills. DevOps generally refers to a deployment manager who can manage the deployment of software applications onto cloud-based servers. The programming / configuration languages of Puppet and Chef are therefore hot technologies right now.\nDevelopers based in the UK are expected to have an ever increasing amount of contact with the business that their applications support, leading to an ever increasing demand for developers with good communication skills.\nIn the last 6 months to a year, we began to see Greenfield projects starting in the finance sector that were designed to generate revenue rather than satisfy regulatory requirements. This was in total juxtaposition to the preceding 4 years.\nIn the past 2 years we\u2019ve also seen an increased appetite for developers to consider working for a software vendor when considered against working \u201cin-house\u201d for a large enterprise.\nLondon continues to attract large numbers of developers who are not based in the UK. Many European developers now being attracted are Spanish, Portuguese, Italian or Greek. The high cost of living coupled with improved salaries means immigration from Poland, Czech Republic and the Baltic States has dramatically slowed. We are seeing some developers come from Romania and Hungary following the recent lifting of immigration restrictions, however the established nature of the IT markets in Bucharest and Budapest and their relatively high standard of living means that the bright lights of London are no longer that attractive.\nFinally we believe we are at the very earliest days of what will be a major trend over the next 5 years which is the \u201cinternet of things\u201d. This is the industry devoted to connecting non-traditional computer platforms via the internet (such as your car GPS system to your home\u2019s central heating system and making your house warm up before you arrive home in the evening). At the moment British Gas\u2019s Hive product is the highest profile operator in this exciting new industry.\nThis graph showing the popularity of each programming language in the market is very interesting: https://image-store.slidesharecdn.com/9495a4a0-2db2-4245-b712-0e313264e54b-original.png\n\u2190 CV Driven Development\nA Rough Guide to the Italian University System \u2192",

If it is more, evaporation will be more. This can be easily proved.\nAll you have to do is take water in two containers, one an open, small-mouthed water bottle and the other an open tray. Pour equal amount of water in both and keep them open for a few days in water in a window sill.\nAfter that take out the water from each container and measure each.

But we're talking about one the newest trends in non-surgical cosmetic procedures-- the Vampire Facelift!\nKim Kardashian after her Vampire Facelift./Instagram\nIf you're both scared and intrigued by the name alone (and by the frightening photo of Kim K. to the left), here's a Q&A from Beautypress.com with Dr. Bruce Katz, Director of the Cosmetic Surgery & Laser Clinic at Mount Sinai Medical Center and Director of the Juva Skin & Laser Center. The New York City plastic surgeon gives us the facts about this buzzed about treatment:\nIs the \u201cVampire Facelift\u201d an actual treatment?\nDr. Katz: First of all, there is no such thing as a \u201cvampire facelift.\u201d There is, however, a product that can be used which is mixed with your own blood as a platelet rich plasma to be injected into the skin to rejuvenate the skin and treat wrinkles.\u201d\nDr. Katz: We take the patient's own blood, which is then spun in a centrifuge. The safe and rapid preparation of natural autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is then re-injected into the soft tissue of the area needing restoration. Stem Cells on the platelets produce growth factors that slow down the look of aging, stimulate the production of collagen and improve the volume and texture of the skin. You see an improvement of texture in a short time.\nWhere is it effective?\nDr. Katz: We recently conducted clinical trials using this technique to treat hollow, sunken eyes and dark circles in tear troughs \u2013 calling it the \"Twilight Plasma Renewal\" treatment. We have also seen impressive results in rejuvenating facial and neck wrinkles as well as improving the overall texture of the skin.\nbeauty beauty treatments celebrity style Kim Kardashian plastic surgery vampire facelift women's health",

        "raw_content": "The statue Rick owns that\u2019s mentioned in this story is referenced in the aired episode, Something Special.\nCecilia Simon sat in a dimly lit room at County General Hospital. The hour was late, and any noise coming from the hallway was muted. Nurses kept their voices soft in deference of their sleeping patients. If a phone rang, or the wheels of a supply cart squeaked, the sound penetrated the night in the way wailing sirens on fire trucks penetrated a lazy Sunday afternoon.\nCecilia divided her time between the beds that contained her sons, Richard and Andrew. Abigail Marsh had called Cecilia to the hospital nine hours earlier. At three o'clock that afternoon, Cecilia's sons had left the courthouse, where they had spent the day giving testimony for a case they had worked on. They were five minutes away from the courthouse, with Abby right behind them in an unmarked squad car, when a man in a station wagon ran a red light. The Ford station wagon plowed into the driver\u2019s side of A.J.\u2019s Carmaro. The car skidded through the intersection, finally coming to rest after the passenger side slammed into a pickup truck.\nCecilia glanced at her watch and saw by the dim light that was coming from a lamp on a table in-between the two beds, that it was now one a.m. She stood when a nurse entered the room. The woman smiled at Cecilia.\n\u201cStill here, Mrs. Simon?\u201d\n\u201cFor a while longer yet,\u201d Cecilia responded, while recognizing she was being vague. Since Doctor Raj had said she could stay as long as she desired, Cecilia wouldn\u2019t commit to leaving at a specific time.\nThe nurse didn\u2019t press Cecilia on the issue as she approached Rick\u2019s bedside. Possibly Raj had told the staff not to, or possibly Raj had told the woman Cecilia was a widow and these two men were her only children. Either way, Cecilia didn\u2019t know and didn\u2019t care. She\u2019d been a quiet, unobtrusive visitor so assumed the nurses wouldn\u2019t give her a hassle if she didn\u2019t give them one.\nCecilia watched as the nurse took Rick\u2019s pulse and blood pressure. Considering he\u2019d been sitting on the passenger side of the car, his injuries weren't as severe as they could have been. His right wrist had suffered a break that the doctors had set in the Emergency Room, his rib cage was bruised, and he had a deep gash on his forehead that had taken eighteen stitches to close, as well as a concussion. He had been unconscious when he arrived at the hospital, and had remained that way for an hour. Cecilia had been with Rick ever since they had settled him in this room. A nurse came in every hour to wake the injured man and chart how he responded to her.\nThe woman shook Rick\u2019s left shoulder. \u201cMr. Simon? Mr. Simon, wake up. Mr. Simon?\u201d\nRick groaned and looked up through swollen eyes. He looked like he\u2019d been in a barroom brawl. Black and blue bruises circled his eyes, and shattered glass had left jagged cuts dotting his forehead, cheeks, and chin.\n\u201cMr. Simon, can you hear me?\u201d\nCecilia would have been embarrassed by her son\u2019s tone \u2013 he sounded like a grumpy five-year-old who\u2019d just been woken from his nap \u2013 if it hadn\u2019t been for the fact that she knew he was exhausted and just wanted to sleep.\nThe nurse when through the routine Cecilia now had memorized. Rick correctly gave his full name, what day of the week it was, the name of the current president, and was able to recall he\u2019d been in a car accident. He traced the path of the woman\u2019s finger with his eyes when she requested that he do so, and was able to assure her that no, his headache wasn\u2019t any worse than it had been an hour earlier.\n\u201cBut it still hurts like hell,\u201d he emphasized, even though he\u2019d been told numerous times he wouldn\u2019t be allowed any pain medication until after Doctor Raj saw him during morning rounds.\n\u201cI\u2019m sure it does, Mr. Simon. Is there anything I can get you that would make you more comfortable?\u201d\n\u201cYeah. Two bottles of extra strength Excedrine.\u201d\n\u201cRick...\u201d Cecilia scolded.\n\u201cWell, she asked.\u201d\n\u201cHow about some 7-Up?\u201d the nurse inquired.\n\u201cHow about a shot of tequila?\u201d Rick tossed back.\nThe woman looked at Cecilia and teased, \u201cIs he always this difficult?\u201d\nThe nurse laughed, then returned her attention to Rick. \u201cSorry, but 7-Up is the best I can offer. Do you want it?\u201d\n\u201cNo thanks. I\u2019m fine.\u201d\n\u201cIs there anything else I can do for you before I leave?\u201d\n\u201cDon\u2019t take any offense at this, but don\u2019t come back, huh? When a woman wakes me up in the middle of the night my mom isn\u2019t usually in my bedroom with me, and the woman doing the waking isn\u2019t asking me who the president is. Since that\u2019s all you\u2019re concerned with, I\u2019d just as soon go right on sleeping.\u201d\nThe nurse chuckled at what she already perceived as Rick\u2019s sense of humor, as opposed to taking it as a proposition or inappropriate remark. But then, Cecilia supposed most nurses learned how to handle forthright male patients during the early stages of their careers, and by the time they had a few years of experience in the profession, were seasoned pros.\n\u201cNo promises, Mr. Simon, except this one. I\u2019ll be back in an hour.\u201d\n\u201cOh joy. I can\u2019t wait.\u201d\nRick watched as the nurse checked his brother\u2019s pulse and blood pressure.\n\u201cHe\u2019s fine, Mr. Simon.\u201d\n\u201cHow come you\u2019re not wakin\u2019 him up, too?\u201d\n\u201cBecause he doesn\u2019t have a concussion.\u201d\n\u201cIf I give him one, will you wake him up, too?\u201d\n\u201cI\u2019m only kiddin,\u2019 Mom. I just figured if I gotta go through this, then A.J. should have to go through it with me.\u201d\n\u201cI imagine you\u2019re brother would disagree with you on that.\u201d\nCecilia let the subject drop there. Despite Rick\u2019s words, she knew he\u2019d never wish any injury upon his brother, nor inflict one either.\nAfter the nurse left, Cecilia asked, \u201cIs your wrist bothering you?\u201d\n\u201cI\u2019ll find a pillow we can prop it up on. That might help some.\u201d\nThe bright lights in the hall forced Cecilia to squint. As tears caused by the irritation ran from her eyes, Cecilia realized how tired she was. She had been up for twenty hours now, and knew her night was far from over yet.\nCecilia shrugged away those thoughts. After all, she was a mother, and this was hardly the first time she\u2019d lost a night of sleep due to a sick child, or two sick children for that matter. Besides, Cecilia was of the opinion that her children were worth losing a night of sleep over now and again.\nCecilia returned to the boys\u2019 room ten minutes later, glancing at the sleeping A.J. as she walked to Rick's side.\nThe detective opened his eyes upon his mother's return. He allowed her to lift his right wrist and place it on the pillow she propped between his side and the bed railing.\n\u201cYou\u2019re welcome. Can I get you anything else?\u201d\n\u201cWell, since the nurse won\u2019t be bringin\u2019 me tequila, how about some water?\u201d\n\u201cWater I can do.\u201d\nCecilia turned toward the nightstand. She picked up the pitcher that was there and poured water into a cup, filling it to halfway. Rick reached out his left hand and took the cup from her. He drained it in six swallows, then handed it back to her.\n\u201cThanks, Mom. Don\u2019t know what we\u2019d do without ya\u2019.\u201d Rick winced as he turned his head to look at is brother. \"Has A.J. been awake yet?\"\n\"Just briefly when they brought him in from the recovery room.\"\n\"What did you tell me his injuries were?\"\n\"You tell me,\" Cecilia responded. She had already told Rick two different times throughout the night what the extent of his brother's injuries were. Therefore, with Rick's head injury in mind, she wanted to see if he could recite them back to her.\n\"You're tough, Dr. Simon. Take pity on an injured man.\"\n\"Not this time. Come on, what did I tell you was wrong with A.J.?\"\nRick looked at his brother again, hoping to get some clues. \"You said his left arm was broken, right? That's why he had to have surgery - so they could set the bones.\"\n\"Very good. But I think you had a little help with that one.\" Cecilia looked over at her youngest and the cast that ran from his left hand all the way up his arm. \"What else?\"\n\"Uh...lots of cuts from the glass from the driver's side window, and a...a bruised kneecap?\"\n\"That\u2019s correct. Good. You remembered.\u201d\nAs Rick allowed his eyes to close, Cecilia was relieved that he appeared to be drifting off to sleep. Therefore, she was surprised when his eyes opened again. \"I was so damn scared, Mom. The last thing I can remember is realizing that A.J. 's side of the car had been hit. I heard him cry out in pain. I was trying to figure out what had happened, tryin' to figure out how bad he was hurt, calling his name and stuff, then everything went black. That must have been when my side got hit.\"\nCecilia nodded her agreement, then urged, \"Honey, you need to go back to sleep now. It won't be long before the nurse is here to wake you up again. A.J. will be fine. Every time Pam..the nurse, comes in to check on you, she checks on him as well. She keeps assuring me that everything's all right where you\u2019re both concerned, so quit worrying and get some rest.\u201d\n\"Okay,\u201d Rick agreed, his pounding head forcing him to acknowledge his mother was correct when she said he needed to sleep. \u201cMom, why don't you go home. You look beat. I\u2019m fine, and you just got done sayin\u2019 that said A.J.\u2019s fine, so you might as well get some sleep, too.\"\n\"A.J. is fine,\u201d Cecilia agreed. \u201cBut I'm staying until the doctors make their rounds later this morning. Now I don't want any more back talk, do you understand?\"\n\"Yes, ma'am. Geez, you're stubborn. Then you wonder where A.J. and I get it from.\"\nCecilia laughed softly as she bent and kissed her oldest on the cheek. \"No, I don\u2019t wonder. Now go back to sleep.\u201d\nAs Rick drifted off to sleep, he murmured, \"You're the best, Mom.\"\nCecilia shook her head fondly at her oldest son, and the flattery he was famous for as she moved over to his brother's bedside. She pulled the blanket up higher over the sleeping A.J. He had evidently pushed it down with his right hand until it was bunched around his waist. She bent and kissed his cheek lightly, too, as she said softly, \"Old habits die hard, don't they, sweetheart? I think I spent more time covering you again at night when you were little than I spent doing anything else.\"\nSatisfied that A.J. didn't seem to be in any discomfort and was still sleeping soundly, Cecilia sat in the chair once again. She rubbed a hand over her tired eyes, and thought back to all the times she had been this exhausted after being up with a sick child. There was the time when Rick was three and had whooping cough, and the time when she\u2019d been eight months pregnant with A.J. when five-year-old Rick had the chicken pox. If it hadn't been for Jack's help, Cecilia didn't think she would have weathered that. Poor Rick had been so sick. She then recalled the time when A.J. was two and had woken up in the middle of the night screaming from the pain of an ear infection, and then when he was four and they had almost lost him because of an allergic reaction to a shot of penicillin. She, and Jack, and a young Rick, had all kept a vigil that night.\nThere had been so many other times over the years as well, when Cecilia had kept watch over one of her boys throughout a long, sleepless night. She had thought those nights would end once the boys were grown, but first Rick went off to war, and many sleepless nights were spent praying for his safe return. Then Cecilia\u2019s sons chose to go into a line of work that occasionally brought danger with it, and more sleepless nights were spent praying when one of them was injured while working on a case.\nAs Cecilia looked from one son to the other, she smiled.\nFor all the sleepless nights you two have caused your mother, your father would be so proud. He would be very proud of the men you've both become.\nCecilia looked at her watch. It was then that she realized February 13th had passed, and February 14th - Valentines Day, was upon them. She smiled a soft smile of remembrance as she thought back to a Valentines Day thirty-four years earlier, and the two little boys she was taking care of then.\nThe measles ran rampant through Mission Bay Elementary School that winter of 1955. Ten-year-old Rick came home from the fourth grade on a Monday afternoon complaining of a sore throat. Over the weekend, Cecilia had noticed that Rick had a runny nose, but since he didn't have a temperature and wasn't complaining of feeling ill, she sent him to school.\nThat afternoon though, as she looked at his red throat and took his temperature, Cecilia became alarmed when the thermometer read 102 degrees. She knew Rick had to be ill when he didn't protest his mother's suggestion that he get into pajamas and climb in bed.\nFor the next two days, Rick stayed in bed. He continued to run a temperature, and complained of a sore throat, headache, and upset stomach. Cecilia ran up and down the stairs more times than she could count, bringing children\u2019s aspirin and cold drinks, trying to coax Rick into eating something, and playing games with him. Then at noontime, when A.J. returned home from kindergarten, she had to contend with an active five year old, while at the same time attempting to keep him away from his brother in an effort to prevent him from becoming ill to.\nThat was a battle Cecilia lost. As Cecilia was wiping a feverish Rick down with a cool cloth on Thursday, A.J. appeared in the doorway of the boys' bedroom a few minutes after twelve. Cecilia took one look at his pale face and watery eyes, and asked, \"What's wrong, A.J.?\"\n\"I don't feel good.\"\n\"What hurts, sweetheart?\"\n\"Everything,\" came the teary reply.\nCecilia placed her hand on A.J.'s forehead and looked in his throat to feel and see the same symptoms she had with Rick a few days earlier. She helped her youngest undress and got him settled in bed, too. As rotten as Rick was feeling, he did manage to find a bright spot in all of this as he said, \"Good. At least now I'll have some company.\"\nCecilia had rolled her eyes and said a little prayer for stamina as she left the room to get more children's aspirin, cold drinks, and another cold cloth. Up until that point she\u2019d been lucky. Except for a few minor colds, her boys had never been ill at the same time before. Cecilia could tell her luck was about to run out, and not at a good time either. She had already been up the previous night with Rick, whose temperature had hit 103. Between that, constant trips up the stairs to tend to Rick, keeping the house in order, cooking, and doing laundry, Cecilia couldn't deny she was on the verge of exhaustion.\nThe young mother spent the remainder of that week caring for two very sick boys. The rash that proved the boys did have the measles, and restored Cecilia's faith in their family doctor, finally broke out on Rick on Friday morning, and broke out on A.J. twenty-fours after that.\nCecilia wouldn\u2019t ever forget that Thursday night when both the boys were running high temperatures, Rick's at 102 and A.J.'s at 104. She and Jack were up with them all night, trying to get them cooled down. Jack had been fearful that one of them would start convulsing, so he kept helping them into and a tub of water cool when needed.\nThe boys finally fallen asleep around seven o'clock that next morning, as their bleary-eyed parents drank coffee in an effort to wake up. Jack had to go to work, and Cecilia had household chores to tackle. With the boys being so ill, last night's supper dishes had gone undone, and she had a pile of bed sheets and pajamas that had to be washed.\nAs Jack kissed his wife good-bye that morning, he promised, \"I'll try to get away early so I can help you with the boys, hon. If their temperatures climb as high as they were last night, call me and I'll come home. You can't handle that by yourself.\u201d\nCecilia nodded in agreement as she pressed a grocery list in her husband's hand. \"Stop at the store on your way home, Jack, and pick up these things for me, please. I can see I won't get out again today to do any shopping. We're running low on milk and juice.\"\n\"All right. I'll get some ice cream, too. At least they seem to be eating that, if nothing else.\"\nCecilia spent the day in an exhausted daze. She craved a nap, but never got one for fear she\u2019d fall into such a deep level of sleep that she wouldn\u2019t hear the boys if they called for her. In the end, she was glad she forced herself to stay awake. A.J. threw up all over his bed, and not only needed his mother to clean up the mess, but also needed her to dry his tears and assure him that everything was okay, and that he\u2019d feel better soon.\nCecilia was finally able to get some sleep on Saturday. The boys were feeling well enough to be up and about, so Jack insisted that his wife sleep for as long as she liked.\n\u201cI\u2019ll play nurse today, Cece.\u201d\nThe boys thought that was funny. A.J. spent the day calling his father \u2018Nurse Daddy\u2019 and giggling over his joke.\nJack kept the boys occupied with games and stories. After lunch, he even managed to get them to take a nap. Jack fell asleep on the living room floor with a son curled up on each side of him, a brunette head resting on one shoulder, a blond head on the other.\nThat's how Cecilia found her men when she came downstairs at two o\u2019clock that afternoon. She didn\u2019t disturb them, but instead went to the kitchen and ate lunch while reading the newspaper. After the week she\u2019d had, the woman decided she\u2019d enjoy her quiet house for as long as possible.\nLater that evening, Rick and A.J. were up in their room playing with their toy soldiers. Jack walked in and whispered, \"Hey, guys, I need you to sign your names on this card for Mommy.\"\nJack opened the Valentines Day card he had in his hand and gave Rick a pen. Rick wrote his name, then A.J. printed his initials in big block letters.\n\"Now this is our secret,\u201d Jack said. \u201cDon't tell Mom about this card. We'll give it to her at breakfast tomorrow morning.\"\nThe boys nodded their heads in agreement at their father's request. After Jack left the room and the boys had turned back to their platoons, Rick commented, \"Tomorrow's Valentines Day. I suppose Mom and Dad will spend the whole day bein' mushy and kissy and junk like that. \"\nA.J. agreed. \"Yeah, yuk!\" Then in a forlorn tone added, \"We were supposed have a party in my class yesterday with cards and candy and everything, but I missed it.\"\n\"Yeah, my class was supposed to have a party, too, but I don't care. I don't wanna give stupid old cards to a bunch of dumb girls anyway.\"\n\"Me, either,\" A.J. responded, changing his tune from moments earlier in an effort to be just like his big brother. \"I was going to make a card for Mommy though, Mrs. Hansen promised. The whole class was going to make cards. I was supposed to give my card to Mommy at breakfast tomorrow morning. Mrs. Hansen said so.\"\n\"I guess it would be okay to make a card for Mom. I did that in the kindergarten, too. She's not really a girl anyway. She's just a mom, so that's different.\" Rick thought further, then suggested, \"You know, A. J., we could make a card for Mom right now. Then we can give it to her in the morning at breakfast just like you wanted to.\"\n\"Really, Rick? Can we?\"\n\"Sure, we got crayons, and paste, and scissors, in our desk drawer, and I know where there's some construction paper. You get the crayons and other stuff. I'll be right back.\"\nRick scurried out of the bedroom. When he returned he had sheets of red and white construction paper in his hand that he\u2019d gotten out of a drawer in the kitchen.\n\u201cDid Mommy see you take those?\u201d\n\u201cNope. She and Dad are in the basement hangin\u2019 that shelf Dad built for her. I snuck in the kitchen and snuck back out.\u201d\n\u201cGood, \u2018cause it\u2019s gotta be a secret.\u201d\n\u201cYeah,\u201d Rick agreed, as he and A.J. shared the chair that sat in front of their maple desk.\nThe boys spent the next thirty minutes coming up with ideas while cutting out paper hearts. Rick kept rejecting the ones he didn't like until he finally drew and cut one he declared perfect. A.J. nodded his head in agreement.\nThe boys were so engrossed with their project that they almost didn\u2019t hear their mother coming up the stairs.\n\"Rick, A.J., it's time you both get ready for bed!\"\nRick ran over and slammed the door. He flung his back against it and called, \"You can't come in here, Mom!\"\n\"Why not?\" Cecilia questioned from the other side of the door.\n\u201cJust \u2018cause you can\u2019t.\u201d\nCecilia wouldn't accept that answer from her oldest son. Now that Rick was feeling better, God only knew what he was up to.\n\u201cRichard Simon, let me in.\u201d\n\"Mom, please, it\u2019s a surprise. Please.\u201d\nA.J. joined his brother, adding his weight to the door. \u201cMommy, it\u2019s a surprise! You can\u2019t come in.\u201d Then the five year old almost gave it all away by saying, \u201cBut we\u2019re not making anything for you. Tomorrow\u2019s not Valenti...\u201d\nCecilia could tell Rick had clamped his hand over A.J.'s mouth, and she heard him hiss, \"Be quiet, A. J., you'll ruin everything.\"\nCecilia managed not to laugh as she tactfully ignored the goings on in that bedroom. \"Okay, a half hour more. Will that be enough time?\"\n\u201cYeah, Mom!\u201d\nThe next thirty minutes was spent printing a verse on the big red heart. Rick and A.J. took turns, A.J. printing what few words he knew how to spell of the verse Rick had composed himself. The finishing touches of white crayon hearts were added as a border, and then it was hidden away before Cecilia came up to tell the boys to pick up their toys get ready for bed.\nThe next morning Jack was up before the rest of the family, making breakfast as he did every Sunday. The boys appeared before Cecilia came down and put their card under her plate without their dad seeing the gesture. When Cecilia came into the kitchen ten minutes later, she found three roses at her place as she did every Valentines Day. One was red and two were white, and there was a card to go along with the roses that was signed, For My One And Only Valentine. Love Always, Jack.\nUnderneath that Jack had printed, We Love You, Mom, and then the boys had signed their own names, Rick in his sloppy cursive, and A.J. in big bold printing with the J threatening to fall over sideways.\nCecilia thanked her husband and sons for their thoughtfulness, and then opened a small package wrapped with red paper that was for her from Jack. She exclaimed over the gold necklace she found inside, one that she had long admired in a local jewelry store, but felt was too expensive.\nBy the time Cecilia had opened her gift and thanked her husband with a kiss, A.J. was jumping up and down. \"Mommy, Mommy, look under your plate!\u201d\n\"Look under my plate. Why?\u201d Cecilia teased. \u201cDid you boys hide a spider there?\"\n\"No, just look,\" A. J. urged.\n\"A snake?\u201d\n\"No, Mommy. Please look.\"\n\"Yeah, Mom, come on, look under your plate. A.J.'s gonna wet his pants if you don\u2019t.\u201d\nJack laughed at his sons while watching Cecilia as she did what Rick and A.J. had instructed. The woman pulled out the red construction paper heart that had smaller white hearts drawn in crayon all around its border by childish hands. A.J. couldn't stand it anymore as he pointed to the white hearts on the right side of the paper.\n\"I drew these, Mommy,\u201d A.J. said, then pointed to Rick's artwork on the left hand side of the card. \u201cAnd Rick drew these.\u201d\n\"Oh, boys, you both did such a good job. What a beautiful card! I don't think I've ever received a card this nice before.\"\nRick and A.J. beamed with pride at their mother's words.\n\"Jack, listen to this beautiful verse the boys printed on here.\u201d\nJack did as his wife requested as she read, \u201cYou love us when we're sick. You love us when we're well. Mom, we really, really think you're swell. We love you, Rick and A.J.\u201d\nJack had to turn away to hide his grin and to keep from laughing. When he regained control, he praised, \"That is a beautiful verse. And what a lovely card,\" he said as he took it from his wife and studied it closer. \"I bet you boys spent a lot of time on this.\u201d\n\"Rick thought up the words, Daddy, but I wrote the ones I could spell. I can spell l-o-v-e. Rick helped me. I wrote my own name, too.\u201d\n\"Yes, I can tell, Andy. You did a great job. And I see we have a budding poet in our midst, Mommy, and we never even knew it. That's a wonderful verse, Rick.\"\nThe ten year old blushed. \"Aw, it was nothin.\u2019\"\n\"Well, I think it's something. Something very special,\"\nCecilia said as she pulled both her boys to her in a hug and thought, It's the little things like this that make all those sleepless nights worth it.\nThat morning ended with Jack getting the camera and taking a picture of his sons and their mother. Cecilia had an arm around each of her boys, holding them close as she held up their card with her right hand. Anyone else might have wondered why Jack wasted film on such a picture. You could barely tell it was a card Cecilia was holding, and she was still dressed in her robe. Likewise, the boys in their pajamas yet and covered with measles. It certainly wasn\u2019t an award-winning photo by any means, though to Cecilia it was. Even over thirty years later, whenever she came across that picture in the photo album, she couldn't help but think, You love us when we\u2019re sick. You love us when we\u2019re well. Mom, we really, really think you're swell.\nAfter that, she\u2019d often take the card out of the folder where she kept her sons\u2019 artwork from days gone by. It still retained the grainy feel all construction had, and the wax from the crayons still smelled as though the small white hearts had been drawn just yesterday. But most of all, the feeling of love that had gone into the making of that card was retained, and reminded Cecilia once again, that motherhood was well worth the trials and tribulations that came with it.\nCecilia's thoughts returned to the present when she noticed A.J. shifting restlessly. She stood and crossed the small space to his bedside. In his half-conscious state, A.J. moaned when he started to roll onto his left arm.\n\"A.J., don't move around. You'll hurt yourself. Wake up. Sweetheart, wake up.\"\nThe sound of Cecilia\u2019s voice, and her touch on his right forearm, brought A.J. to full awareness.\n\"Hi,\" he rasped in a groggy tone, his throat irritated from the breathing tube that had been put in for surgery. \"What time\u2019z it?\"\nCecilia glanced at her watch. \"Four forty-five. How are you feeling?\"\n\"Like I've been run over by a garbage truck.\"\n\"Well, I\u2019d say that that's pretty close to what happened.\"\n\"I don't suppose there's anything left of my car?\"\n\"I haven't seen it yet, but from what Abby tells me, the answer is no.\"\nTears caused by stress, anxiety, and exhaustion, sprang to Cecilia's eyes.\n\"A.J., the car doesn't matter. It can be replaced. What matters is that you and Rick are all right. It's a miracle that both of you weren't seriously injured.\"\nA.J. reached up with his right hand and pulled his mother down for a hug. \"Mom, don't cry. Come on now, I know the car doesn't matter. Don't cry.\"\nCecilia hugged her son, then pulled away and wiped her eyes with a Kleenex she plucked from a box on the nightstand.\nA.J. looked at his sleeping brother and asked, \"How's Rick doing?\"\n\"Fine. He's been responding like he should be. The nurse was just in here at four and woke him. She said since he's been doing so well she wouldn't wake him again until six. Prior to that she had been waking him every hour, so I think that's good news.\"\n\"Sounds like it.\u201d\n\"He has been complaining of a bad headache, but the nurse said that's normal with his injury. He really smacked his head on something.\"\n\"The dashboard,\" A.J. supplied, as he recalled the accident. Unlike Rick, A.J. had never lost consciousness. Therefore, the entire time he and his brother were pinned in the car, A.J. was trying to stop the flow of blood from the gash on Rick's head. It took the fire department fifteen minutes to get the brothers free - fifteen minutes A.J. spent dealing with his own pain, as well as the fear that Rick was seriously injured.\nUpon reaching the hospital, A.J. was adamant about not being taken to surgery until a doctor could tell him something of his brother's condition. A.J. finally calmed down and cooperated after Raj talked to him and assured A.J. his brother\u2019s vital signs were strong, though Rick was still unconscious at that time.\nA.J. had arrived from the recovery room to share this room with Rick, at ten-thirty that night. He was sedated, but woke up enough to mumble, \"How's Rick?\" A.J. heard his mother tell him that Rick had regained consciousness earlier in the evening, and was now sleeping peacefully. That was all the blond heard before succumbing to sleep, as well.\n\"Don't worry about Rick, honey. In a couple of days he'll be as ornery as ever. By the time Raj releases him, the nurses will be happy to see him go.\"\nA.J. smiled despite his pain. \"Yeah, you're right, Mom. Say, can I get moved to a private room before he gets ornery? I hate sharing a room with him when he's sick. He's a lousy patient.\"\nCecilia chuckled. \"Yes, he is. He always has been. But no, Andrew, you can\u2019t be moved to a private room. Your mother has enough work cut out for her with you two sharing the same hospital room. I\u2019m not going to run between two rooms.\"\nIt was A.J. 's turn to chuckle, before sobering while observing his mother. \"Mom, you really look wiped out. Why don't you go home now? We'll both be fine.\"\n\"No. I'm staying until Raj makes his rounds. I'll go home after he leaves.\u201d\nCecilia pointed a stern finger. \u201cDon't argue with me about it. Your brother's tried to every time he's been awake, and it hasn't done him any good, so it won't do you any good either.\"\n\"If you\u2019re going to stay until Raj makes rounds, at least call Abby and ask her to take you home. You'll be too tired to drive.\"\nCecilia smiled at A.J. 's protectiveness. Her sons could be overly solicitous at times, just like all good sons were overly solicitous of their mothers.\n\"I think I can drive, sweetheart. But if I am feeling too tired by then, I'll call Abby, or Edie, or your Aunt Pat, and have one of them pick me up. All right?\"\n\"I need to go out to the nurses' station and let them know you're awake. Can I get you anything?\"\n\"Maybe something to drink. Some juice if they'll let me have it. And could you see if I could get another blanket? I'm kind of cold.\"\n\"I'll see what I can do. I'll be back in a few minutes.\"\nCecilia walked out to the hallway, her tired eyes once again assaulted by the bright lights. Overlooking her weariness, she again thought of all the times when her sons were sick during their youth, and all the errands she\u2019d run for juice, and blankets, and books, and crayons.\nAt least I won't be sent for crayons this time.\nPam returned to the room with Cecilia. After checking A.J.\u2019s vital signs, she assured Cecilia he was doing well and should now get some additional sleep. Pam checked on the slumbering Rick as well. She told Cecilia and A.J. all was fine with him, too. Cecilia covered A.J. with an extra blanket, then helped him raise the head of his bed up far enough so he could take a few swallows of juice.\n\"You'd better try to get some more sleep now,\" Cecilia urged, while tossing the empty plastic cup in the garbage can.\nA.J. settled into his pillows, then said, \"Oh, by the way, Happy Valentines Day, Mrs. Simon.\"\n\"Thank you, sweetheart. Happy Valentines Day to you, too. \"\n\"Sorry about all of this, Mom. This wasn't how the day was supposed to be.\"\nCecilia brushed A.J.\u2019s hair off of his forehead. \"How was it supposed to be?\"\n\"I was going to stop by the house before I went to work and take you to breakfast.\"\n\"That would have been a wonderful surprise, but that's all right. My Valentines Day present is having you two boys here with me safely today.\"\n\"I had a card for you, too, but it was in the car. There's probably nothing left of it, if we can even find it,\" A.J. said, sounding faintly like the five year old from years before who was upset because he hadn't gotten to make a card for his mother with the rest of his class.\n\"Don't worry about it, sweetheart. It's the thought that counts.\"\n\"At least one good thing came out of this accident,\u201d A.J. told his mother. \u201cIt saved you from getting the present Rick had for you.\"\n\"He was going to give you that stupid statue he has that he thinks is worth so much money. You know, the one of the naked, pregnant African woman with the \u2018Made in Taiwan\u2019 sticker on the bottom.\"\n\"Oh...that statue. You're right, A.J., something good did come out of this accident,\" Cecilia said with dry sarcasm. \u201cSpeaking of Valentines Day, I was sitting here tonight thinking of that Valentines Day when you boys had the measles. Do you remember that?\"\n\"Boy, do I ever. We were two sick kids.\"\n\"Lucky for us we had a beautiful nurse who took care of us and got us well again,\" A.J. said with a teasing smile.\nCecilia smiled back. \"You had a tired nurse, and a tired Daddy, too. Between the two of you, I think Dad and I were up three nights in a row, all night long.\"\nA.J. nodded, just barely able to remember the two weary parents who had devoted so much time and worry to their sick little boys.\n\"Do you remember the card you and Rick made for me that Valentines Day?\"\n\"Vaguely. I suppose you still have it?\"\n\"Of course, I do. Do you remember what it said?\"\n\"No,\" A.J. replied as he yawned.\n\"It said, \u2018You love us when we're sick, you love us when we're well. Mom, we really, really think you're swell.\u2019\"\nA.J. laughed at his mother's words, and the memories that came along with them. \u201cThat Rick was a clever little bugger, wasn't he, Mom?\u201d\n\"I thought so. I thought it was a very clever verse for a ten year old to compose.\"\nA.J. smiled \"Don't tell Rick this, but I did, too. I suggested we write, \u2018We love you, Mommy,\u2019 on the card, but Rick said no, it had to have a lot of words on it like a real card did. When he came up with that verse, I thought he was the smartest big brother a little kid could have.\n\"Your secret's safe with me, but I have a feeling your big brother already knows that you think he's clever.\"\nTo stall A.J. 's protests over that sentence, Cecilia bent and kissed his cheek. \"Regardless, it was a beautiful card. Now go back to sleep. You can hardly keep your eyes open.\"\nA.J. returned his mother's kiss, and mumbled in a groggy voice, \"I love you. Happy Valentines Day.\"\n\"I love you, too. Both of you,\" Cecilia said to her now sleeping youngest. She walked over and gave the sleeping Rick a Valentines kiss, too, before once again returning to her chair, and her mother\u2019s vigil.\nTwo days later, Cecilia Simon walked down the hospital corridor toward her sons' room, having just arrived for the start of visiting hours. She had caught up on her sleep since the accident. Her sons were progressing well, and were schedule to be released the next morning.\nBefore Cecilia got in the room, she could hear the argument coming from within. The disagreement came as no surprise. As soon as her sons had started feeling better, the bickering had begun.\n\"Rick, would you turn that damn T.V. down? You're not deaf!\"\n\"I've got it so low already I can hardly hear it! You're just bein' picky 'cause you've got your nose in a book!\"\n\"It wouldn't hurt you to read something besides Playboy once in a while.\"\n\"A.J., I swear, I can arrange for you to have your other arm in a cast. Just keep naggin\u2019 at me and I\u2019ll--\u201d\nCecilia entered the room, seeing the two invalids in their beds, squared off for combat. \"Boys, for Heaven's sake this is a hospital, not a boxing ring. You two never gave me half this much trouble when you were little. I guess I should have had them put you in two separate rooms.\"\n\"That'd be okay with me, Mom. I hate sharin' a room with Mr. Picky,\" Rick grumbled as he accepted his mother's kiss.\n\"It would be okay with me, too, Mom,\u201d A.J. said, as he was kissed on the cheek, too. \u201cAll Rick does is watch that damn TV and hit on every nurse that walks in the door.\"\n\"You do too!\"\n\u201cDo too!\u201d\n\u201cDo--\u201d\n\"Boys, stop it now!\"\nPeace finally reigned, as usually happened after Cecilia intervened. Rick aimed the remote control at the television and shut it off. Cecilia opened her purse and took out the Simon and Simon office mail and handed it to A.J., then handed him the mail she\u2019d collected from his home. She turned to Rick and gave him the mail she\u2019d picked up from his boat.\n\u201cYeah,\u201d Rick said, \u201cthank, Mom. How\u2019s Rex?\u201d\n\u201cHe\u2019s fine. I took him for a walk before I came here. Last I saw him, he was eyeing my sofa. By now he\u2019s probably sleeping on it, even though I told him it was off limits.\u201d\n\u201cI told his master the same thing for years,\u201d A.J. said, in reference to the days when Rick\u2019s boat, the Hole in the Water, was moored in his backyard, \u201cbut he never listened either.\u201d\n\u201cHey, I didn\u2019t sleep on your couch nearly as much as you make it sound every time the subject comes--\u201d_\nBefore another argument could break out Cecilia took note of the bouquet of a dozen red roses among the other floral arrangements her sons had received since the accident. She leaned over the nightstand and took in their aroma.\n\"What beautiful roses. Who sent you boys these?\"\n\"Nobody sent them to us,\" Rick informed his mother with a twinkle in his eye.\nAt Cecilia's puzzled look, A.J. said, \"Those came today for you, Mom.\"\nCecilia looked more closely at the roses. She spotted an envelope propped up in the greenery that read, Mrs. Cecilia Simon. She plucked the envelope from its plastic holder and used a finger to break the seal.\n\"I wonder who could have sent these to me? And especially here?\"\n\"I don't know,\u201d Rick said. \u201cI guess somebody must know you've been spendin' more time here lately than at home.\"\nCecilia pulled out the card. Tears filled her eyes as she read the words printed on it.\nYou love us when we\u2019re sick,\nYou love us when we\u2019re well,\nMom, we really, really think you\u2019re swell.\nWe Love You, Mom,\nRick and A.J.\n\"Hey, don't cry,\" Rick protested, as his mother wrapped her arms around him and kissed him. \u201cThose weren\u2019t supposed to make you cry.\u201d\nAs Cecilia did the same to A.J. a moment later, he reiterated his brother\u2019s words.\n\"Come on, Mom, don't cry. Rick and I just wanted to say thanks for being here for us, and for putting up with us.\"\nCecilia didn't say anything for a minute, then was able to compose herself as her youngest released her. She smiled at her sons while wiping her eyes with the back of her hand.\n\"Thank you. It's still a beautiful verse. The most beautiful verse anyone could ever write for me.\"\n\"That's because I\u2019m the smart brother,\" Rick announced.\n\"You are not!\"\n\"Are not! I know for a fact, that you don't even read the articles in Playboy. You just look at the pictures.\"\nCecilia ignored her bickering sons as she stood looking at the roses that were so vibrantly red and in full bloom.\nNo matter what they put me through, they're worth it. Rick and A.J. have made motherhood worth every sleepless night I've endured. Cecilia Simon, you are one lucky lady.\nCecilia Simon was indeed, one lucky lady. And one smart lady, too, because while the argument between her children ensued, Cecilia picked up the vase that contained her roses and headed for home, where she\u2019d enjoy the tranquility a busy mother deserved.",

        "raw_content": "The FAO Component of the Consolidated Appeals 2012: South Sudan\nTags: CAP 2012, SOUTH SUDAN, EASTERN AFRICA, DROUGHT, CONFLICT, FAMINE, SOUTH SUDAN CRISIS,\nOn 9 July 2011, the Republic of South Sudan achieved independence, ending decades of conflict.\nWhile the referendum to separate from the Sudan and formal secession took place without major impediments, considerable issues, such as the status of the disputed area of Abyei, remain unresolved. Local authorities estimate that from January to October 2011, pockets of violence, especially along the northern border, had claimed 3 165 lives and displaced 325 723 people.\nIn spite of this, the progress made in 2011 marks a significant milestone towards peace and stability after decades of conflict, displacement and natural disasters.\nThe food security situation continued to decline in 2011 as a result of low agricultural production, market volatility and high food and commodity prices. Scattered violence leading up to and following the referendum and secession has further reduced farmers\u2019 access to land and disrupted agricultural markets and trade.\nResults of the June Food Security Monitoring Mission indicated that 11 percent of the country\u2019s households were severely food insecure and that 33 percent were moderately food insecure. As a result of late rains and widespread dry spells, a grain deficit of 30\u201340 percent is projected for 2012. These figures will increase as more IDPs and refugees return to their homes.\nBy October 2011, 347 375 refugees had returned to South Sudan from the North. The slow pace of land allocation to these returnees for residential and agricultural purposes has delayed the successful resumption of food production. Supporting vulnerable households with agricultural inputs, such as seeds, hand tools and fishing gear as well as targeted training, will be crucial for reintegrating families with access to land into the production cycle.\nViolence has also reduced access to pastures and rendered livestock vulnerable to the many animal diseases prevalent in South Sudan. This vulnerability is further exacerbated by inadequate veterinary services. More than 70 percent of households in South Sudan rely significantly on livestock for their food security.\nMost of the IDPs and refugees that returned in 2011 settled in and around urban areas, making them almost entirely dependent on markets for food. With more than 50 percent increases in food prices in some states, providing access to affordable food and agricultural support to peri-urban households will be essential to improve food security.\nFAO seeks to restore agricultural production and access to food for over 1.1 million people, mostly returnees and women. In rural areas, FAO will provide crop production inputs and livestock vaccinations, organize seed fairs and train farmers on animal traction, energy-saving stoves and conservation agriculture.\nThe provision of fruit and vegetable seeds and seedlings, micro-irrigation foot pumps as well as poultry and small ruminants will increase food production in urban and peri-urban areas, especially during the dry season. FAO will also provide small grants for milk and milk-processing enterprises and the construction of vegetable stalls and hygienic animal slaughter facilities so as to connect producers with markets.\nMore than 60 percent of FAO\u2019s intended beneficiaries will be women. FAO will continue to use and promote gender-disaggregated baselines and vulnerability indicators for the analysis of activities carried out within the Food Security and Livelihoods Cluster.\nConsolidated Appeals 2012: South Sudan",

In the opening speech, Dr. Berhe Tekola, Director of the FAO Animal Production & Health Division reiterated their commitment to this longstanding partnership and agreed to continue to strengthen their work together to tackle the challenges facing the feed and food chain. Joel G. Newman, Chairman of IFIF, which is representing over 80% of the world\u2019s feed production with feed related organizations and corporate members from around the globe, was the other main speechmaker. \u201cThe FAO focus on five strategic objectives, emphasis on working in a goal-oriented manner, and the FAO strong efforts reaching out to the private sector have made a tangible and positive difference in our already longstanding collaboration,\u201d Newman highlighted.\nDaniela Battaglia, Animal Development Officer at the Animal Production and Health Division of the FAO, said \u201cThis meeting addressed a number of critical issues of common interest, such as the need for capacity development to ensure feed safety and the importance of collaborating to tackle the containment of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). FAO is committed to working with the private sector and feed operators and believes that they can valuably contribute to making the livestock and food sectors more responsible and sustainable to achieve important goals such as public health, and animal health and welfare.\u201d",

The newest introduction in the automobile manufacturing industry is the self-driving car.

It started small with innovations like motion sensors to turn on/off lights in a room and activate the flush of the toilet, and has progressively grown in sophistication. The newest introduction in the automobile manufacturing industry is the self-driving car. Volvo, Google, Daimler AG\u2019s Mercedes-Benz, and Tesla are just a few of the contenders in this new arena.1\nEven Uber, the ride-share service, working with Volvo and Ford, has entered the fray.2 Citing the propensity for human error when handling automobiles as the major cause of traffic accidents, Uber seeks to ameliorate the tragic state of affairs by eliminating the human component and moving into self-driving vehicle territory.3 Self-driving Ubers have hit the streets in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Boston is keen on testing out self-driving cars on the city\u2019s streets next.4\nWhile this advent of the self-driving car may have several beneficial consequences \u2013 arguably safer driving conditions, potentially cheaper ride-share and transportation costs, and perhaps more environmentally conscientious emissions, 5 the liability implications that arise from the incorporation of these new fleets of robot automobiles spells trouble.\nTesla has, perhaps in anticipation of these liability concerns, built into the Autopilot feature of its cars the necessity of a driver. The Tesla vehicle will navigate and steer on its own, but requires some degree of contact on the wheel \u2013 a finger, knees, whatever the driver chooses \u2013 in order for the vehicle to continue moving. After a few seconds of no contact, the vehicle will prompt the driver to make contact in some way with the wheel. If the driver is non-responsive to this prompt, the vehicle will slow and halt to a stop.6 In fact, when engaging the Autopilot feature, the driver must acknowledge that he must \u201cmaintain control and responsibility for [the] vehicle\u201d and \u201c[b]e prepared to take over at any time.\u201d7\nOn May 7, 2016 in Willison, Florida, a driver of a Model S Tesla in Autopilot mode was involved in a fatal traffic accident. Both the driver and the Autopilot Tesla failed to brake in time when a tractor-trailer made a sharp left turn ahead of the vehicle.8 The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration notified Tesla that it was investigating their Autopilot-featuring vehicles.9 Self-driving cars are a new development in the automobile industry and, as such, laws governing the assessment of liability have yet to be created, and likely will not be for a while yet. Given the complexity of the technology, there are many parties likely to be involved in liability assessment, beyond simply the drivers of vehicles and the manufacturer of the vehicle. When a car drives itself, who or what is to blame when an accident occurs? The owner of the vehicle, the driver of the other vehicle, the manufacturer of the vehicle, or the programmer of the autopilot function of the vehicle? 10\nIt will be interesting to see how the jurisprudence evolves when addressing liability in vehicular traffic accidents involving self-driving cars, and if/how this will affect the development of this promising aspect of the automobile industry, which has the potential to minimize, if not eliminate, traffic incidents altogether.\nhttp://blog.legalsolutions.thomsonreuters.com/current-awareness-2/potential-liability-ramifications-of-self-driving-cars/ [https://perma.cc/QQ99-UEGN].\u21a9\nhttp://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/15/technology/our-reporter-goes-for-a-spin-in-a-self-driving-uber-car.html?_r=0 [https://perma.cc/VU88-BU68].\u21a9\nhttps://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/why-uber-is-going-to-test-its-new-self-driving-cars-in-pittsburgh/2016/08/24/ab48c3be-696f-11e6-99bf-f0cf3a6449a6_story.html [https://perma.cc/H6CY-A8H4].\u21a9\nhttps://www.bostonglobe.com/business/2016/09/14/boston-plans-test-self-driving-cars-soon/OOTLPokw8dlqtipyLpdKRM/story.html [https://perma.cc/XB3R-QKKQ].\u21a9\nhttp://www.techtimes.com/articles/177757/20160915/uber-self-driving-cars-hit-streets-in-pittsburgh-could-this-be-the-end-for-human-driven-rides.htm [https://perma.cc/KF43-DYFE].\u21a9\nhttps://www.wired.com/2015/10/tesla-self-driving-over-air-update-live/ [https://perma.cc/ZEW9-XSUT].\u21a9\nhttps://www.tesla.com/blog/tragic-loss [https://perma.cc/3MBB-XKW3].\u21a9\nhttp://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/01/business/self-driving-tesla-fatal-crash-investigation.html [https://perma.cc/4G9S-XQKS].\u21a9\nhttps://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/jul/13/tesla-autopilot-investigation-fatal-crash [https://perma.cc/KG4J-4DME].\u21a9\nCarscrashinsuranceliabilitySelf-DrivingTesla",

        "raw_content": "Press Release: Volunteers Will Hit the Streets to Count People Experiencing Homelessness on January 25\nWINSTON-SALEM, NC \u2013 Every year on the last Wednesday in January, the lives of people experiencing homelessness have a greater potential to be changed, thanks to a program coordinated by United Way of Forsyth County (UWFC) and the Winston-Salem Forsyth County Continuum of Care.\nStarting at 9 p.m. on January 25, dozens of volunteers will meet at Samaritan Ministries 414 E NW Blvd, and hit the streets throughout the night to count the number of people sleeping outside. The exercise, called Homeless Point-in-Time Count is a one-day, unduplicated count of sheltered and unsheltered homeless individuals and families that happens across the country.\nThe event is part of a national initiative to measure and combat chronic homelessness. The goal is to give the local and federal government an idea of how many people are experiencing homelessness in the area, to make sure there are enough appropriate services to help them.\nTwo teams of volunteers will be organized into groups of four or five and in two shifts, 9 pm-12 am and 1am-4am. Organizers will be assembling bags of necessities to hand out to homeless men and women with donations of winter hats, scarves, hand warmers, individual tissue packets, sun screen, bottled water, canned foods with pop-tops or pre-packaged food, and plastic utensils. Before the volunteers take to the streets, they will receive training on personal safety, how to identify homeless individuals, where homeless individuals may be sleeping and how to survey individuals experiencing homelessness.\nThis is the final count during the 10-year plan to end chronic homelessness. In October 2015, Winston-Salem was certified as having met the goal of ending veteran homelessness. Now the community is attempting to end chronic homelessness by 2017. Both of these milestones are part of Built for Zero, a national campaign to end veteran and chronic homelessness.\nInformation learned from previous counts has helped officials to develop more efficient resource programs to better serve the homeless. For example, the community intake center helps connect people who are homeless to supportive housing resources based on their vulnerability instead of first come basis.\nForsyth County resource programs have been changed from accepting individuals on a first-come, first-serve basis to a need priority basis.\nPosted in basic needs, financial stability, health, new-release, Press ReleaseTagged homelessness, veterans, winston-salem",

        "raw_content": "PUTIN LASHES OUT AT OBAMA: 'SHOW SOME PROOF OR SHUT UP'\nTyler Dudej\nPutin has had enough of the relentless barrage of US accusations that he, personally, \"hacked the US presidential election.\"\nThe Russian president's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, said on Friday that the US must either stop accusing Russia of meddling in its elections or prove it. Peskov said it was \"indecent\" of the United States to \"groundlessly\" accuse Russia of intervention in its elections.\n\u201cYou need to either stop talking about it, or finally show some kind of proof. Otherwise it just looks very indecent\u201d, Peskov told Reporters in Tokyo where Putin is meeting with Japan PM Abe, responding to the latest accusations that Russia was responsible for hacker attacks.\nPeskov also warned that Obama's threat to \"retaliate\" to the alleged Russian hack is \"against both American and international law\", hinting at open-ended escalation should Obama take the podium today at 2:15pm to officially launch cyberwar against Russia.\nPreviously, on Thursday, Peskov told the AP the report was \"laughable nonsense\", while Russian foreign ministry spox Maria Zakharova accused \"Western media\" of being a \"shill\" and a \"mouthpiece of various power groups\", and added that \"it's not the general public who's being manipulated,\" Zakharova said. \"the general public nowadays can distinguish the truth. It's the mass media that is manipulating themselves.\"\nMeanwhile, on Friday Sergei Lavrov, Russia's foreign minister told state television network, Russia 24, he was \"dumbstruck\" by the NBC report which alleges that Russian President Vladimir Putin was personally involved in an election hack.\nThe report cited U.S. intelligence officials that now believe with a \"high level of confidence\" that Putin became personally involved in a secret campaign to influence the outcome of the U.S. presidential election. \"I think this is just silly, and the futility of the attempt to convince somebody of this is absolutely obvious,\" Lavrov added, according to the news outlet.\nAs a reminder, last night Obama vowed retaliatory action against Russia for its meddling in the US presidential election last month. \"I think there is no doubt that when any foreign government tries to impact the integrity of our elections that we need to take action and we will at a time and place of our own choosing,\" Obama told National Public Radio.\nUS intelligence agencies in October pinned blame on Russia for election-related hacking. At the time, the White House vowed a \"proportional response\" to the cyberactivity, though declined to preview what that response might entail. Meanwhile, both President-elect Donald Trump, the FBI, and the ODNI have dismissed the CIA's intelligence community's assessment, for the the same reason Putin finally lashed out at Obama: there is no proof.\nThat, however, has never stopped the US from escalating a geopolitical conflict to the point of war, or beyond, so pay close attention to what Obama says this afternoon.\nAccording to an NBC report, a team of analysts at Eurasia Group said in a note on Friday that they believe the outgoing administration is likely to take action which could result in a significant barrier for Trump's team once he takes office in January.\n\"It is unlikely that U.S. intelligence reports will change Trump's intention to initiate a rapprochement with Moscow, but the congressional response following its own investigations could obstruct the new administration's effort,\" Eurasia Group analysts added.\nAt the same time, Wikileaks offered its \"validation\" services, tweeting that \"Obama should submit any Putin documents to WikiLeaks to be authenticated to our standards if he wants them to be seen as credible.\"\nhttp://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-12-16/putin-lashes-out-obama-show-some-proof-or-shut",

        "raw_content": "They say they will love, comfort, honor each other to the end of their days. They say they will cherish each other and befaithful to each other always. They say they will do these things not just when they feel like it, but even-for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health-when they don't feel like it at all. In other words, the vows they make at a marriage could hardly be more extravagant. They give away their freedom. They take on themselves each other's burdens. They bind their lives together in ways that are even more painful to unbind emotionally, humanly, than they are to unbind legally. The question is, what do they get in return?\nThey get each other in return. Assuming they have any success at all in keeping their rash, quixotic promises, they never have to face the world quite alone again. There will always be the other to talk to, to listen to. If they're lucky, even after the first passion passes, they still have a kindness and a patience to depend on, a chance to be patient and kind. There is still someone to get through the night with, to wake into the new day beside. If they have children, they can give them, as well as each other, roots and wings. If they don't have children, they each become the other's child.\nThey both still have their lives apart as well as a life together. They both still have their separate ways to find. But a marriage made in heaven is one where they become more richly themselves together than the chances are either of them could ever have managed to become alone. When Jesus changed the water into wine at the wedding in Cana, perhaps it was a way of saying more or less the same thing.\nNewer PostSteward of the Wildest Mystery\nOlder Post Mary",

        "raw_content": "Finding A New Way: Jenova Chen And Thatgamecompany\nby Brandon Sheffield [Design, Interview, Console/PC, Mobile Console, Indie, North America]\nDo you have any plans to bring out Cloud?\nJC: Oh, Cloud, well...\nTo a console or some other platform.\nJC: We started our company by pitching Cloud as a console game. But if we do it, we have a very ambitious plan to do it well. But right now, based on the team we have, and the technology we have, I think it's not going to be our next game. We just can't handle it. We will only do it when the time is right.\nAnd also, it's like the baby we have; sometimes I just want to keep him there. If we have a better idea, we'll do the better idea. It's more like a safe protection. If we really run out of ideas, we really have no creativity, we will still have Cloud to make. Kind of like that.\nThat makes sense. And I suppose you would never want to outsource the game to someone else, like with PSP port of flOw.\nJC: Yeah. The port was very, very difficult. We didn't think the port would take that much effort. They basically had to remake it.\nJust like remaking it from Flash to PS3.\nJC: Right. And for the next game, it's just impossible to run on any other console except the PS3, because the code is all written based on SPU. PSP is not going to handle it.\nWe always just want to make new games, but I'm sure that someone is going to tell us that, \"Hey, it would be a good idea to make an expansion pack.\" Actually, the expansion pack of flOw is also done by SuperVillain.\nFor the PS3?\nJC: For the PS3. So they are working on PS3 and PSP at the same time.\nWas thatgamecompany in charge of what went into the expansion pack?\nJC: The expansion pack, well, definitely the design of the creatures, and the feel, has gone through our designer and artist, but it's a collaboration. It's not like we have said, \"Do this, do this, do this.\" It's more like, \"We have these ideas, what do you think?\" And they will say, \"We don't like it,\" or \"We like it,\" or, \"We've changed it.\"\nIt's been a pleasant collaboration. I think they did their best on this product; it's just, unfortunately, that it takes that much more, while it could only take us a little time to make. That's the lesson we learned. You know, everybody said, \"flOw is such an easy game to make,\" It's right there, it's just like Snake, we should be able to make it. But... (laughs)\nHave you considered growing the company more?\nJC: I always wish that we can grow bigger, you know, grow faster, but based on our experience on the current project, we have eight people on Flower right now -- previously we had five on flOw -- and when we reached eight, I feel there are moments where people are waiting, because there's nothing to do, or there are situations where the morale is low.\nSo we feel like maybe we didn't master how to work as a team yet; we shouldn't just keep growing, because then, the efficiency will be even lower, and then the consistency of the game will be even lower.\nSo right now we are just talking about how we should not expand for the next project; keep the same size, but try to raise the efficiency as a team. Because the most important thing that differentiates us from big teams is that we have a unified vision. We only have one artist, and one composer. So there's no way you can make art that goes in different styles.\nAnd then we have three programmers, a game designer, and me as the creative director. So it's a very [unified] team, and that way we can make sure the game is like one entity. But if we just keep expanding, I'm sure it's going to go wrong.\nEarlier I was commenting on a lot of games from big publishers, how they feel like it's made on a pipeline. Where the head, in the beginning, is awesome, because the people who work on it are great, but then the middle part is really lame because they slacked off, or the tail is really bad because they cut it.\nSo we used to use a metaphor: a barrel which holds water, a wooden barrel has all these pieces, and you use a frame to put them together. Each piece is for a different aspect of the game -- one is for the graphics, one is for the sound, one is for design -- and if any one of those is short, the water that you can hold is only up to the shortest part. And the water is the satisfaction of the player.\nIf you have terrible graphics, and everything else is great, the player will probably just keep saying, \"Oh, the graphics suck!\" But, meanwhile, if you have really wonderful graphics -- like real graphics -- but the gameplay sucks, they will still think the game is mediocre, because the gameplay sets the cap.\nSo, as a small team, there is no way that we can create a cap, a taller piece than a commercial game, but our goal is to keep every piece at the same height; so it could be even higher than some of the commercial games.\nYeah, that makes sense. You're only as strong as your weakest component.\nJC: Right. So as long as we don't have the weakest gameplay or the weakest graphics, we will be better than most of the big games.\n132049 item_feature /view/feature/132049/finding_a_new_way_jenova_chen_and_.php Loading Comments",

        "title": "School finance fix sent to Colyer - News - The Garden City Telegram - Garden City, KS",
        "raw_content": "School finance fix sent to Colyer\nThe Legislature overwhelmingly voted to send Gov. Jeff Colyer a bill correcting a mistake embedded in a state law that short-circuited expenditure of a chunk of the $525 million that is part of a five-year plan boosting aid to public schools.\nOn Monday, the Senate voted 31-8 to make clear about $80 million improperly sidetracked in the April law signed by Colyer could be spent by districts across Kansas. The same bill was adopted Saturday by the House.\nThere was urgency to resolve the error because lawmakers were keen for the Kansas Supreme Court to consider that piece of financing when evaluating constitutionality of the Legislature's five-year expansion of state aid to K-12 education.\nFour school districts \u2014 Wichita, Dodge City, Hutchinson and Kansas City, Kan. \u2014 filed suit in 2010 alleging state appropriations for public education were unequal and inadequate. A district court panel and the Supreme Court sided with the plaintiffs. The Legislature has tried to remedy constitutional flaws in aid to school districts by revising education policy and allocating more money.\n\"I appreciate the Legislature for working to quickly pass this important school finance bill,\" Colyer said. \"I look forward to signing this legislation. This school finance legislation is a good-faith effort to respond to the Supreme Court\u2019s ruling on equity and adequacy.\"\nThe legislation on its way to the governor would still require each district to assess a minimum 15 percent local-option budget property tax assessment for schools. The lowest LOB among Kansas districts is 18 percent, but some districts are at the maximum 33 percent.\nA coalition of House and Senate conservatives in the Kansas Truth Caucus objected to Senate Bill 61, arguing the bill no longer declared the 15 percent LOB would be calculated as part of state aid. Instead, it would remain a purely local contribution to public education and outside metrics tied to financing a suitable education for hundreds of thousands of Kansas children.\n\"These shell-game tactics compromise the credibility of the institution and have no place in the Kansas Legislature,\" said Sen. Ty Masterson, an Andover Republican and chairman of the Truth Caucus. \"If it is the intention of the proponents to change the underlying policy of the school-finance law passed by the Legislature, then call it what it is \u2014 a complete gut of the local-option budget provision.\"\nA procedural maneuver by House advocates of the fix-it bill precluded the Senate from amending the measure. The Senate's options: accept or reject it.\nSenate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, D-Topeka, voted for the school-finance fix but repeated his concern the law gradually adding more than $500 million annually to the state's public schools would be viewed unfavorably by the Supreme Court. He filed a constitutional challenge outlining his objections.\nAttorney General Derek Schmidt, on behalf of the state, and attorneys representing plaintiff school districts are scheduled to submit legal briefs on the education funding package to the Supreme Court by May 7. The 2018 Legislature is expected to adjourn by Friday, but rejection of the law by the judicial branch could result in a special legislative session in the summer.\nMeanwhile, the Senate endorsed 28-12 a bill containing targeted budget adjustments for state pensions, higher education, people with disabilities, gambling addiction, preschool education and other areas.\nThe Senate appropriations bill conflicts with decisions by the House, meaning negotiators from both chambers would convene to seek a compromise. For example, the House recommended a special $196 million payment to the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System. The Senate's bill featured an $82 million appropriation to KPERS.\nThe budget bill passed by the Senate would alter state law to enable children with traumatic head injuries to receive support under Medicaid. It clarified preschool funding would go first to 4-year-old at-risk children before opening up the program to 3-year-olds. The bill also restored $18 million lost previously by Kansas Board of Regents' universities in a round of budget cuts.\nSen. Lynn Rogers, D-Wichita, had the bill amended to require six universities in the regents system to open to the public deliberations and documents on assessment of student fees. Opposition emerged from legislators concerned discussion by university administrators about possible discontinuation of staff or programs backed by student fees would no longer be confidential.",

        "title": "What about MojAhedin-e Khalgh?",
        "raw_content": "What about mojAhedin-e Khalgh?\nhttp://www.ghandchi.com/187-mojAhedin.htm\nFor over thirty years, I have written many critics of MojAhedin-e Khalgh Organization, from the time of Hanif-Nejad to the present. Before the Revolution, I wrote critics of the works of mojAhedin's founders, works like ShenAkht (Theory of Knowledge) and eghtesAd (Economics) but I also condemned that part of MojAhedin M.L., who committed atrocities against Sharif Vaghefi and others.\nAnd after the Revolution and particularly after the 30th of Khordad of 1360, I have written extensive critics of mojAhedin's move to Iraq, state ownership in their program, the \"Islamic\" tag of the ideal republic in their program, the cult-like practices of their organization, and all other aspects of the program they have been advocating for future of Iran in the last 20 years :\nI am not writing this article as another critic of mojAhedin, and here I would like to look objectively at what the reality of mojAhedin is today, to express my view as to how I think the Iranian opposition should deal with mojAhedin *today*.\nPlease see the Postscript (P.S.) of this article to see a summary of my own views on various topics, because I know there are dishonest people who would quickly label me monarchist or MKO or Zionist or whatever they can think of, when they do not like what I write, and the noted sources attached are for anyone to read for themselves, to see my standpoint on the relevant political topics.\nNow let's go back to the topic of MojAhedin-e Khalgh Organization. We all know of the grave mistakes of mojAhedin after the Revolution. We all know of their sudden action of taking arms on 30th of Khodad of 1360 in meydoone Ferdowsi in Tehran, without informing other forces of opposition, and how their action caused members of many other democratic groups to get killed. We all know mojAhedin's gravest mistake of going to Iraq and staying there during all those years of Iran-Iraq War. And we know about their cultish organizational practices and their statist program which caused the failure of NCRI.\nThen the question is why mojAhedin did not collapse after these many years, and after all these grave mistakes and after all the critics levied at them and why mojAhedin is still the strongest organization of Iranian opposition. In fact, outside of Kurdestan, mojAhedin is the only real organization of opposition in Iran, and if IRI was going to collapse tomorrow, they are the only force that can take power. And yes, one may wonder why?\nThe reality is that all these years, only two forces relentlessly raised the flag of overthrowing the Islamic Republic. The first one was mojAhedin and the second one was the Monarchists. The latter was unable to attract the kind of people who are willing to give up all they have to achieve the goal of overthrowing the regime. So basically mojAhedin organization became the only place for those who were the most serious about sacrificing all they have for the goal of overthrowing the regime.\nI think the above is a reality that is missed in all critics of mojAhedin. Those who joined mojAhedin did not join it to go and work for Saddam Hossein. They joined it because they wanted to overthrow IRI. They were the people who wanted to sacrifice their money, well-being, and life to achieve their goal of regime change in Iran.\nAnother related question that nobody asks is that why Khomeini decided to break up with mojAhedin and call them monAafegh to wipe them out? It was not because of them being pro working class or because of being radical, although they did not hesitate to fight to achieve even smallest gains in power from the first day after the Revolution.\nNonetheless, basically there was not much of a difference between the program of Khomeini and that of mojAhedin, and it is important to note that mojAhedin were not the ones who broke the relation. I think the answer to why is very simple. Before the Revolution, Khomeini counted on mojAhedin a lot more than the clergy because the main part of clergy still was with the Shah. But after the Revolution, Khomeini had to choose between two organizations.\nOne organization was the traditional organization of Shi'a clergy ,with all its emAm jome's (Friday Prayer Clergy Leads), to run every city and village, and the second organization was the non-traditional organization of mojAhedin which rapidly grew in the first two years after the Revolution. Thus it was obvious that just like the Shah, Khomeini saw the former traditional organization of clergy as a proven structure to run, and with VelAyate Faghih approved, he took the role of the Shah but sitting on top of AstAne Ghodse Razavi, Feyzieh, and all the network of mosques and other traditional Shi'a organizations to run the country, and thus Mojahdein's *organization* became a competitor of that traditional organization and Khomeini made his choice to suppress mojAhedin.\nHere is how on one hand traditional organization of Shi'a became the embodiment of state in Iran, and ironically by its intention to uproot mojAhedin, IRI made Mojahdein the focus for all those who wanted the overthrow of IRI. And this IRI versus Mojahdein defined the main battle of Iran for over 20 years.\nToday most of the IRI opposition has reached the conclusion that Islamic Republic is not reformable and must go. As noted, this is what monarchists and mojAhedin have been saying during all these years, and mojAhedin have been sacrificing their lives to achieve this goal. I do not think even 5 percent of the people in other groups of Iranian opposition are as much dedicated to this goal, as the members of mojAhedin, in their commitment to the elimination of Islamic Republic, and when faced with a brutal Mediaeval regime, the final answer is how many people are really willing to sacrifice their lives and wellbeing to achieve a regime change, when facing a regime which is not going to leave on its own, and is ready to kill to the last of opposition to stay in power.\nEven at the time of the Shah, contrary to the fairy tales around, the regime fell by those who sacrificed themselves in front of the army guns. I personally remember the riots in Yazd and Kashan almost a year before the Revolution when the Shah's soldiers were shooting at people and the demonstrators from the Mosque were still going forward while being shot. This is at the time of the chehellehs (40-day sequential anniversaries starting with Ghom).\nNow today, can we see any other force that has among its followers that many dedicated people willing to go in front of the gun. Of course, forces like Jebhe Democratic of Tabarzadi are sincere forces that have come out of the Students Movement of recent years, but they are still a very small organization in comparison to mojAhedin, and frankly others including all the monarchist, jebhe melli, and leftists are nothing organizationally, to be able to take power in Iran, or to hold power in Iran after the regime change.\nI believe this is the reality of mojAhedin's strength. Now in this article I did not repeat my critics of mojAhedin, which I have written enough when I even suggested dissolving mojAhedin organization to open the way for progress of Iranian movement, because unfortunately so many of the most sincere and most dedicated Iranians of the opposition are with mojAhedin, whereas the current structure and program of mojAhedin at best can make a Baathist alternative for Iran, a Baathi regime with more Islamic elements than the Baath of Iraq or Syria.\nSuch a future is not what Iranian people desire for and it would be another outcome like the Islamic Revolution, where the plans of those who were the most dedicated to the regime change, was not a plan of democracy and progress, and was a retrogressive plan. Then what can be done about this situation short of dissolving mojAhedin, and definitely the current top brass of mojAhedin would resist any true liquidation.\nI think the alternative is to start a reform movement in mojAhedin. I think the only way to get mojAhedin to become an effective force in the Iran' upcoming change of regime, is to start a reform program inside mojAhedin, and push for it from both inside and outside. I think other forces of opposition, should set up human rights conditions, as a requirement for any cooperation with mojAhedin.\nI think those inside mojAhedin who see the same needs, should become sincere reformers inside mojAhedin, and those outside, should even push mojAhedin's leadership, to open its prisons and let international and Iranian observers to visit its camps in Iraq and elsewhere. Progressive groups should ask to review the practices and processes within mojAhedin as a condition for any cultural cooperation or for any common action in demonstrations, rallies, etc. All parts of UDHR should be reviewed in interviews with their members and direct access must be demanded.\nI also think the democratic Western governments should use human rights conditions as a requirement for establishing relations with mojAhedin. MojAhedin have a very strong interest to be recognized by the Western states. I think this is an opportunity to ask them for human rights condition, and it can be of mutual benefit. There is nothing achieved by calling them a terrorist organization, or punishing them for their actions against the U.S., which belong to the Shah's time. MojAhedin are the main force of Iranian opposition and it is best to help this force to go towards reform and democracy than constantly banning them.\nOn one side mojAhedin is the biggest organization of Iranian opposition, and on the other hand it is a legitimate concern for the rest of the opposition to see them commit to democracy, secularism, and human rights, By allowing independent observers to check their processes and their sites, mojAhedin will help themselves and others. For example, Islamic cover for women must be checked thoroughly and independently rather than getting the verdict of their leadership which says that all those women wearing the scarf do it on their choice. A complete check list with similar items should be developed to monitor reform within mojAhedin.\nI do not think just writing critics of mojAhedin will answer the needs of today's IRI alternative. The same way that just negh-zadan (nagging) about IRI is not enough anymore. The goal must be *taking power* by progressive forces committed to democracy and human rights and 90% of mojAhedin are people who want democracy, secularism and human rights and want the end to the Islamic Republic.\nSo I think it is now time to set conditions for reform of mojAhedin. This is also to the benefit of those in mojAhedin's leadership who care for democracy and human rights, because those of them who believe on a modern 21st Century democratic organization can show their belief by internally leading the way for reform of mojAhedin and hopefully the reformers in mojAhedin's leadership will be more sincere than the so-called reformers of IRI government, who after these many years, still think democracy means democracy for the Islamists, and even non-Islamic groups that collaborate with them from abroad, cannot have their own offices in Iran and do not have their own representatives in IRI's parliament, and their papers cannot be published inside the country, where their own so-called reformist president has been ruling for six years!\nP.S.

        "raw_content": "Great Lakes Four Wheel Drive Association > General Forums > General Chatter > Did Ya Know......Do Ya Care\nView Full Version : Did Ya Know......Do Ya Care\nNot much of a TV guy (unless the Wings are on) but I plan on DVRing this one.\n\"Alaska Off Road Warriors\" Premiers Sunday Nov 30th on the History Channel @ 10:00 p.m.\nNo cable.\nWe got rid of it when channels like History and Discovery stopped being informative and replaced educational and interesting with garbage \"reality\" programming.\n...six or so years ago.\ni haven't had cable in a few years, but the preview I've seen of that show looks like it is going to paint us in bad light.\nYea , I'm not sure what this has to do with History and the BRC is prolly not going to sponsor this one. With the word \"Warrior\" in the title I doubt the words \"tread lightly\" will be heard..........Still more than curious tho. Should make for some good forum discussion.\nI ,unfortunately, have the \"Gold\" package. The only option if I want to watch the Red Wings. The day after they either win the Cup or get knocked out of the playoffs we pay the fee to change back to Basic. Just another racket.\nActually, BRC, Tread Lightly!, UFWDA, and other Four Wheel Drive Organizations have been reaching out to executive producers of this show in an attempt to prevent its airing. The promotional video demonstrates a total disregard for any conscious respect for land use. While they received land access permits through the BLM, they viciously violated the restrictions and several organizations have had their permits (meaning their events/fundraisers) cancelled.\nAre you willing to have your organizations event cancelled so that a television show can entertain viewers?\nThe impact and fallout has only begun and we fear the overall impact this misuse and total disregard of responsible wheeling will have on our land use access.\nSo do we know who the folks are that made the show? Can we follow the money?\nI have not seen any of the promo for the series (thus the thread title). My son is home from school for the holiday and filled me in after seeing a preview . I had a feeling it may be controversial from the title but had no idea how deep the ruts were behind this one already.\nOnce again proves the power of greed. I wonder how many of these other \"reality shows\" are getting away with blatant on-air violations of the rules of their supporting organizations.\nI am aware of some pending legislation here in Michigan related to a large animal Veterinary reality show. I do not know the show or the specifics but apparently they are trying to pass a law that would prevent someone in a reality show from getting sued for their actions after the airing of the show. Apparently the Dr. in the show is quite a pioneer in his treatment decisions and has been called out by other Veterinary professionals.\nIt may be malpractice............ but it sure sells the advertising space eh. And elected officials going to bat to protect him????? Hmmm\nTrace the money on that one also.\nOnce again , just another racket driven by greed.\nWe are reaching out to every contact we can discover via web searches and the like trying to connect with someone who has some sense of responsibility.\nWe opted not to distribute the video link in an attempt to not give them a false positive because of the number of times it had been viewed. How this reality show qualifies for the History Channel exceeds our ability to grasp any point beyond an attempt to gain viewers. This year\u2019s schedule (shows) is already filmed and the damage is done. We can only hope the viewership is dismal and they cannot raise sufficient capital to buy someone off to gain permits again.\nI would like to see the link to form my own opinion. Maybe I'll have to go look for it.\nWell, I just looked for the promo trailer and to be honest, I don't see anything wrong with it. Let's see.\nCrossing a stream. Yep (splashing water? They certainly could have gone through it slower)\nTraversing a muddy crossing. Yep, happens all the time in the back country.\nSpinning tires in sand. Yep\nClimbing a hill. Yep\nBroken parts. Yep.\nUnless there is more to it than on their promo, I can't get on the negative band wagon. Alaska is millions of square miles with very few roads. Just how does anyone expect to get in the outback without spinning a tire?\nThe original link has been disabled presently and for a couple of days the show was removed from the schedule. The show is back on the schedule and we are hoping some editing changes have been made to the final viewing but we are still working for a solution.\nYou're right, if the available promo reflects the final viewing, we would be good with it in part. I say in part, because the need for restitution still exists because wheelers are being negatively impacted when they themselves find the first viewing objectionable. Like it or not we are subject to the disregard some have for responsible wheeling; as the ole\u2019 saying goes, \u201cSometimes we are our own worst enemy.\u201d If organizations weren\u2019t having their events cancelled, we would not have ventured down this path.\nI have witnessed far too many trail closures due to presumption of misuse. The best avenue we have is getting those that oppose us to join us and see we have common ground. While it does not always work, we cannot simply standby and allow a television show to misrepresent our sport. We all know, a reality show has nothing to do with reality.\nIt so reminds me of the times we sat in the ORV Advisory Board meeting and had to watch illegal wheeling videos posted on YouTube.\nI think the video I saw originally showed a much larger disregard for the environment. I'm not one who usually objects to what others do, but it was pretty offensive to me as a responsible wheeler, I did however only see the preview once a few weeks ago.\nThat's why I wanted to look at the trailer myself. I will speak out about irresponsible wheeling but I won't be a hypocrite who won't admit that we spin our tires. In addition, I will be curious if some of the show is filmed on private land.\nWell I recorded it but forgot to watch it. From the bad press it is getting on GL4x4.com, it sounds like it is worse than anyone could have suspected. Is there contact info to complain to the network?\nIt did not make the OHV folks look good. I also taped and watched some of it. I will not watch anymore. Lots of foul language, etc. It was a waste.\nI watched it. It was awful. Of all of the possibilities and potential for this show , what they came up with was certainly a let down. Even the graphic to introduce each vehicle and its mods showed a total lack of appreciation for our pastime. What appeared to be a staged argument to address the \"tread lightly\" issue early in the series totally missed the mark. They chose a couple down trees across an old mining road as the subject for impact on the environment (Sorry, but that is firewood in my eyes) while almost every truck was blazing its own trail at one point or another in an effort to pass or get ahead in the rally. A guy with a mullet repeatedly banging his head on the A pillar and ceiling (looked like he was KOed the 2nd time) due to no seat belt...........\nThe list is so long it is comical.\nThat being said.........I can't wait for next week. hahahahaha\n...Is there contact info to complain to the network?\nThe History Channel, the Producers and the BLM have all stopped responding to inquiries. While I am not on FaceBook myself they do have a page for the show at https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10152826859922777&set=vb.133440482776&type=2&theater and their web site at http://www.history.com/shows/alaska-off-road-warriors\nI haven't had a chance to watch it yet so I can't judge the show. But, If you don't like a show, you can fire off a letter to the advertisers too. Nothing changes the attitude of a show like advertisers disappearing. If you do see something illegal (for Alaska), ask the advertisers if they condone illegal activity. That always gets their attention and gets the letter read.\nI watched every episode of the show and frankly enjoyed most of it. I do realize there were some sensationalized moments and times that showed irresponsible behavior but for the most part it did not show anything I haven't seen on events sanctioned by this associaton.\nIt is my opinion that the positive press will outweigh the bad. Instead of showing a bunch of beer guzzling rednecks in jacked up trucks it showed real world trail rigs built on a budget on an awesome adventure.\nI have long felt that the best way to keep our hobby alive (and legal) is to spotlight it to younger generations and make them feel they are welcome to join.\nI personally would like to see a second season of the show.",

        "raw_content": "Now that's what I call Moxie on the Ball!\nWhich, incidentally, I have in profound abundance.\nSixty seconds ago I didn't have it, or didn't think I did. There's so many other activities a guy can go do. Why sit here and tire out my tired little mind trying to develop the concept of Moxie on the Ball? After all, I know it ... and isn't that what's important? It's the selfish approach.\nBut then, you know -- altruism, one's own sense of security in his moxieness -- it's not going to kill me to sketch out a little something. And it might even do me some good; even though I basically have everything I need, a supplemental wouldn't hurt, like one for the road, so my day will go as well as it can. One more, one more, one more.\nThe only thing that would give me more Moxie on the Ball would be to have another hour of sleep every night. Because moxie for me partially has to do with being well rested. I had a busy day yesterday -- was up early, then to bed a little later than I should've been, and, worst of all, there was no nap. A nap is great for moxie. So put it together: up early, bed late, no nap ... of course I would be better off this morning if it'd had one.\nBut, even with with this disadvantage, and even though I'm feeling lethargic -- I got up and had a hard time focusing on my reading -- there's still enough (I believe) Moxie on the Ball to put in a decent effort toward life today and see success.\nOne thing that would take away my possibilities would be to dwell too long on the lack of sleep. Because dwelling on it chips away at the confidence I already have. Meaning, if I mourn what I don't have I'll lose what I do have, meaning I'll have more to mourn about as that goes, then what remains after that will be chipped away, and so on and so on until I'm dried up in a corner.\nInstead, what level of confidence I have, I need to keep that and add to it. And I do have confidence. Especially as time ticks on and I'm in various social settings. It's there that I have to have it, so I do. The confidence, the creativity, the ability to roll with the punches, to go with the flow, to get done what needs to get done, to surprise myself occasionally -- it's all Moxie on the Ball that wins the day.\nHow do you get Moxie on the Ball if you haven't got it? You probably already do have it. I haven't met anyone who wanted Moxie on the Ball who didn't already have it, perhaps in a hidden form. If you don't want it, you haven't got it. If you want it -- you're your own genie in the bottle to grant your wish. You have the wish within you.\nSo you grant your own wish, for Moxie on the Ball. Then you step forward with a consciousness that says you will succeed, you will have confidence, you will have creativity, you do know how to put the pieces together -- socially, artistically, spiritually, any old way -- and to do so in a way that gets it accomplished and is a blessing to your life and others.\nUse your Moxie on the Ball today and have the best life. And use your powers for good.",

Is this going to be your best chance for points here?\nGraeme LOWDON: Monaco always has the potential for an unpredictable race and with the best will in the world that is our best chance at the moment until we can move the car further forward. We had a good run here last year until we had some car problems and I think now we are on top of the reliability problems that we had as a new team last year so we are looking forward to the race.\nQ: You talked about bringing the car forward which is basically upgrades. Is there now going to be a regular flow or has there been a regular flow?\nLowdon: There has been although we kind of went on hold a little bit in Barcelona. We were developing a blown exhaust system on the car and then following the directive from the FIA we decided that we would have to hold until the meeting next month when there is going to be a clarification of what direction to go in. We won't, in terms of pace... I don't think we will be moving much forward in this race but certainly we plan to keep moving forward as you have to of course. We will see what this clarification looks like and then determine then the direction we are going.\nQ: Is there any technical contribution coming from Marussia?\nLowdon: Marussia were sponsors of our team last year and then moved into an investment ownership element towards the end of last year so they are now gainfully integrated with the team and certainly in the future I think we will see information going in both directions. They have some really exciting road car plans for the long-term future and we are looking forward to playing our part in that as well.\nQ: Vijay, in some ways again perhaps your best chance here. We saw (that) a couple of years ago when you really were looking on course for points until Kimi Raikkonen ended your chances. Is this race a good chance for points as well?\nVijay MALLYA: Yeah, absolutely. Since the beginning of the season we knew that at least for the first few fly-away races we would still be in the development mode. We were hoping to launch a serious aero package in Barcelona. We haven't got everything together quite yet but certainly there are improvements that are already showing during free practice here in Monaco. This is a fantastic race, my favourite, I would love to score points here.\nQ: We always tend to see you as a representative of your nation. How is the Indian Grand Prix coming along?\nMallya: Coming along really well actually. The track is almost ready and will be ready well in time. The recent press reports apparently quoting Bernie (Ecclestone) saying that if Bahrain is re-instated then the Indian Grand Prix may actually be pushed back to December obviously raised a lot of questions at home. But whether it is October 30th, as scheduled, or later in the year we are ready and quite happy with the progress the promoters have made.\nQ: What's the reaction at home especially now that Narain Karthikeyan is back in a race seat?\nMallya: Well when Narain and Karun (Chandhok) were both on the grid there was a lot of joy and celebration in India. But as you may know Force India have launched the \"One In A Billion\" hunt. It is going very well. We have had a few rounds already and we hope to identify some talented Indian kids in the not too distant future.\nQ: Is there going a lot of interest in that?\nMallya: Huge amount of interest, absolutely. In fact, people contact me directly saying 'my son or daughter is one month less than the prescribed age of 14 of a few days older than the limit of 17 and can we please get them in'. There is a huge amount of interest.\nQ: Peter, tell us about the contribution James Key has made to your team?\nPeter SAUBER: The C30 is James Key's car and the car is a clear step forward. He is doing a good job and thanks to him we were able to move forward.\nQ: Tell us about the modifications and the programme of development. How great is that? And, modifications for this race?\nSauber: Small modification to the front wing, rear wing, brake ducts and we have a modification on the front suspension.\nQ: And then in terms of general developments. Are you expecting something every race?\nSauber: General development is on the aerodynamic side. I think that is the same for all the teams. We tried very hard on the exhaust side but it doesn't work.\nQ: When you are looking ahead at your next team to overtake as it were, which team is that? Which is your target team?\nSauber: The target is to go forward and to keep the gap to the team in front of us and especially to keep the gap to the teams behind us.\nQ: You don't want to catch and overtake Renault, for example?\nSauber: If it's possible, why not?\nQ: Adrian, just tell us what the problem was with Mark's car this morning?\nAdrian NEWEY: It was a cut wiring loom, a gearbox wiring loom, which meant he lost one of the potentiometers on the gearbox barrel.\nQ: Is that a major setback for him to lose the whole session?\nNewey: I am sure it's a pain. The question is whether that will have any affect on his qualifying, come, hopefully, Q3.\nQ: Interesting the situation with the pit-stop procedure change. What has accelerated that?\nNewey: Sorry, I am lost here.\nQ: We understand that Christian (Horner) mentioned after Spain that because of the way Ferrari were stopping and were mirroring your stops, you were changing your procedure.\nNewey: We suspected that Ferrari were able to judge when we were going to stop before we went on the radio to the drivers to say stop, so we made a small change based on what we thought they were spotting. Whether that was correct or not who knows?\nQ: Is it just being a bit paranoid?\nNewey: Depends whether they were doing it or whether it was just one of those co-incidences. I cannot comment really.\nQ: KERS seems to have been a recurring problem right from the start of the season. Give us some indication of how difficult it is to get it right as perhaps we just don't understand in the media?\nNewey: KERS is a complicated project. It needs a lot of research, lots of development. The packaging route that we have chosen, whilst the system has its roots in the Renault Marelli system that was run a couple of years ago, it has been altered in various ways to suit the package we want for our car. That has caused some problems. It's not proving easy to completely eliminate it. We have hopefully learnt how to change it, but it is challenging for us. It is not really our forte, KERS development. We are an aerodynamics and, sort of, chassis composite engineering group rather than a KERS group.\nQ: Have you had to establish an entire new department?\nNewey: Yes we have, but the department is quite small. With hindsight probably a little bit too small and there is quite a lot of inertia to these things. It is not easy to react quickly to a problem.\nQ: One of the things about this race is using the super soft tyre. Can you give us a little bit of information about how the super soft tyre performed. Did it perform how you expected or better or worse this afternoon?\nNewey: It seemed okay this afternoon. Difficult to know exactly what to expect of it. This circuit is one of the lightest, or even the lightest, on tyres that we go to. Hence Pirelli's choice to bring a softer range than we have had to date and it seems to be coping well with that.\nQ: They have suggested 10 laps, even less than 10 laps, per stint on the super soft. Is that pretty much confirmed or can you not say until Sunday itself?\nNewey: Certainly the indication from today is they should last longer than that. But it is difficult to be concrete and as have seen in the first five races what happens on Friday can change in either direction on Sunday.\nQ: Martin, that is the most extraordinary thing about this season. It is just unpredictable except for the fact that Red Bull are going to be fairly close to the front and probably on the front row.\nMartin WHITMARSH: Certainly, that is not too unpredictable at the moment. I would like it to be a bit less predictable. I am very happy if you keep asking Adrian questions. I would like to ask him a few myself. We made some progress in Spain. I think our guys were able to race with Adrian's and that was a step forward for us. We were not quite quick enough in qualifying. Had we had a better track position I think it would have been an even greater race but nonetheless it was exciting and encouraging. This circuit is very different from one week ago and from where we are going afterwards. This is a very specialist circuit. I think it is one which the drivers, the competitive drivers, believe they can go out and win so that makes it exciting. I suspect, I hope, it is going to be a bit closer this weekend. I think the strategy here is challenging. We know how difficult it is going to be to overtake here. I am not sure if DRS is going to be that helpful in my opinion but I can understand why people didn't want it going through the tunnel. But clearly the new chicane has been the overtaking place on the circuit so to not use DRS prior to that is a little bit of a shame in my view but we will see. Hopefully we will have a good weekend.\nQ: You mentioned in the preview how important your performance through sector three was in Barcelona and it encouraged you for here. Has that been borne out today?\nWhitmarsh: I think we have, like Adrian and all the guys here, had Friday as a learning day. During the first session this time we only had one set of tyres, I am sure Adrian had some aero bits to try. We had a few aero bits to try. You are getting that information. You are doing some fuel heavy runs to see how durable the super soft is and also the soft tyre. The super soft tyre looks very consistent on all the cars. We are getting a lot of data and now the strategists and engineers can work hopefully to improve the set-up for tomorrow and also try and make sure we get it right in the race.\nQ: We mentioned the pit-stop concerns that Red Bull Racing have. Do Vodafone McLaren Mercedes have similar pit-stop concerns?\nWhitmarsh: No, we don't. I don't know anything about that particular issue. I think you call the stops and try and make them as quick as you can. Inevitably, sometimes it is nice to know when others are making them but you judge that by where you see their tyre performance. It is very clear this year that if the driver goes longer than his tyres should have done then he lost lots of time so you can generally see just by looking at lap times when somebody is about to come in.\nQ: (Alberto Antonini - AutoSprint) Coming out in the paddock yesterday, you could see that there was still a lot of action going on. Some of the facilities hadn't been completed, they were still being set up. So, I just wondered whether it's sensible, given the size of the current infrastructures, to have back-to-back races, coming to a place like this? Is it turning into a sort of logistic nightmare?\nWhitmarsh: Well, it's incredibly tough. Back-to-back races have always been tough on the crew and the team. Clearly because Monaco starts one day earlier, it's just that little bit tougher. There was a lot of action here, now there's a lot made of a forklift incident with Jenson but I think Jenson's probably done more dangerous things here in his life, both in cars and out of cars in Monaco, so I think it was probably a little bit overstated. It's tough. I'm sure that we're grateful - just as all the teams are here - to the people who build garages, build hospitality units, rebuild the cars to make sure we can be here racing.\nLowdon: We've probably got the smallest motorhome of anybody here but dare I say, one of the friendliest. We tend to have to wait until all the large structures are put together before we can put ours together but I think we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that Formula One and the finances of Formula One are very complicated nowadays and these structures do actually play an important part in servicing the requirements of sponsors and guests. So it is an important part of the whole show, and the people who put them together do a tremendously professional job under very tight circumstances. I take my hat off to them.\nMallya: Well, we sometimes pay the price for our own enthusiasm. We wanted to create a sort of Taj Mahal out of our motorhome. In the process we created a pretty heavy and complex structure that requires a lot more time to erect and disassemble but that's life, we're used to it. We know that they're going to be back-to-back races and the guys coped pretty well.\nSauber: Yes, it's tough but we have done it in the past many times.\nQ: (Pierre Van Vliet - F1i Magazine) Martin, what is FOTA's position regarding the 2013 engine rules following the Barcelona meeting last week?\nWhitmarsh: I think FOTA's view is that this really is a decision for the engine manufacturers, not for the teams themselves. I think teams want to have affordable engines and they've made those points to the engine manufacturers and to the FIA and I have to say that those views appear to be respected. I think that with any rules changes, it would have been great if we could have introduced more engine manufacturers into Formula One but unfortunately, we're perhaps coming out of a recession, we were a little bit too early with these changes, but at the same time, we have to move forwards in Formula One, we have to be seen with developing technologies that are relevant to the needs of society, so there will always be an emotional pull to the past. Lots of us speak about 'wasn't it great when we had V12s', 'wasn't it good when we had V10s', isn't it great that we've got V8s?' And I think we must be careful that we don't get emotional about those things. What we need is Formula One to be the pinnacle of motor sport, to have the most advanced powertrain and they've got to be affordable for all of the teams. I think also, we need as many engine manufacturers in Formula One, we need independent manufacturers like Cosworth. We need to make sure we don't lose any of the engine manufacturers we've got now. We're very fortunate as a sport to have Ferrari, Mercedes and Renault with us. We'd like to make sure that we've still got them in 2013 and beyond and I hope, in time, find ways in which other automotive companies find this sport attractive to invest in it.\nQ: (Ian Parkes - Press Association) Vijay, could I ask you on what basis you took the decision to allow Adrian to continue racing after his incident in Shanghai. And secondly, you've just launched your own driver development programme, I think for 14- to 16-year olds; is he still a good role model for the team?\nMallya: As far as my position is concerned, there has been a press release issued which describes an incident. We have not heard of any formal complaint being registered in any country for any sort of misconduct by Adrian. So it would be highly inappropriate for us to presume that he did something. It would be equally presumptuous that he would guilty of wrong-doing and take action against him. So my position is very clear: if at all we receive a formal complaint or there is some form of formal legal enquiry in any country, we'll take appropriate action at that time but we can't be presumptive.\nQ: (Edd Straw - Autosport) Adrian, there was a lot of talk in Spain about the legality of the exhaust-blown diffuser operating while the driver is off the throttle. What's your interpretation of the legality of that, specifically relating to article 3.15 and could you explain your reasoning behind the position you take on this technology?\nNewey: Well, I think the key to 3.15 is that it talks about 'driver over-run then the throttle should be closed' then in brackets 'idle speed' so it seems to be implying that the throttle should be closed at idle, which it clearly is. What the throttle does on over-run at other times is not clear in the regulations, not as expected. Certainly, in the case of Renault, then they open the throttle to full open on the over-run for exhaust valve cooling, and that's part of the reliability of the engine. It has been signed off through the years for dyno testing and for them to change that would be quite a big issue, because the engine's not proven that it would be reliable if the throttle remained closed in that situation. Obviously if other people are going further and perhaps firing the engine on the over-run then clearly exhaust valve cooling is not part of that and that would be something that presumably they would need to explain to keep Charlie (Whiting, technical delegate) happy.\nQ: (Alan Baldwin - Reuters) Vijay, you mentioned the Indian Grand Prix and Bernie's comments about it but I was wondering if you've spoken to Bernie or talked to him about it and what is your personal position on any possible re-scheduling of that race?\nMallya: There are no issues on whether the track will be completed or not. That track will be ready well in time. There's a huge amount of interest. I can tell you that people are already clamouring for tickets and it's a major step forward in Indian motor sport and sport in general in our country, so everybody is looking forward to it. Whether it's October 30th or December 4th - I believe that's what the media report said - really doesn't matter to us. In fact, in December the weather is cooler in India and Delhi in particular so it shouldn't impact the race in any way.\nQ: (Alan Baldwin - Reuters) Can I just ask the other team bosses whether it would impact on them at all, to be racing in December?\nNewey: Makes for an awfully long season, doesn't it? It is for the people involved.\nWhitmarsh: I think it's tough on the team, simple as that. I think the teams will go to the races that are on the calendar, that's for sure, but I think it makes it a very long season. The guys started working very hard in mid-January, building cars to go testing and it will make it a very, very long season for them.\nSauber: I think first we have to wait for the decision about Bahrain.\nLowdon: I agree with Martin. I think it does make it quite tough on the teams. I think one of our guys is getting married on December 4th as well, so we might have a problem.\nQ: (Rodrigo Franca - VIP Magazine) Question for all of you: what kind of advice would you give for a teenager who is beginning to study and one day wants to work in Formula One? What piece of advice would you five guys give?\nNewey: I guess the first question is where he or she wants to work, so is it technical, is it in marketing and so on and so forth? In my own area, on the technical side, I think by and large, academic studies help, so going to a good university, if that's possible, is clearly useful. At that point the person probably needs to decide which area they are going to specialise in, is it mechanical, aerodynamics, electronics, maths etc? Try and get some experience as well, even if it's working with a very small team, then anything that helps to build your CV and show that you are a committed, dedicated to motor racing and have both an academic flair and a real enthusiasm is mainly what we're looking for.\nWhitmarsh: I don't have much to add to what Adrian said. I think you have to be realistic. Those of us who are working in Formula One or in motor sport, are very, very lucky. It's a great career but it's massively competitive, it's still a relatively small industry so I think if anyone sets their sights on a career within motor sport they should also have a Plan B because however good you are, you might not be fortunate enough to get in.\nMallya: A lot of Indian technology companies are already supporting established Formula One teams but I represent a country that is full of aspiration, with 500 million youngsters under the age of 18, aspiration levels run really, really high and everybody wants to be part of Formula One because of the image that Formula One has. But I'm not just very, very pleased with the level of response in our one-in-a-billion hunt for a driver, the number of CVs and applications coming through from people who want to be involved in engineering and design is quite incredible. There's a lot of talent out there. In the technology industry per se, India has been in the forefront for many decades and there is talent out there and we can use that talent as well, as we go forward. We have some internships already running for young Indian engineers so yes, there's a huge amount of opportunity.\nLowdon: I agree with Adrian, it's a mixture of experience but also knowledge. There's a remarkable number of people who look to get into a racing team who haven't prepared themselves with either and it constantly amazes me. I'm sure like all the other teams, we operate internships as well, with SMT University - I'm sure the other guys work with various universities and have close links with them, with education, which is important and there is no secret, it's hard work and application, and if you're prepared to put in the hard work and apply yourself, then anybody can get into the sport. But as Martin says, whether they stay in is a different matter.\nQ: (Ian Parkes - Press Association) As you know, the state of emergency is due to be lifted in Bahrain on June 1, two days ahead of a decision being made about the Grand Prix, but I was wondering if any of you have made representations to either Bernie or the FIA that it is arguably morally and ethically wrong to still be going to Bahrain after what has happened there this year and is still going on?\nSauber: I think it's important that we be safe and the other point is that if we have three back-to-back races; that's really crazy.\nMallya: Well, I understand that there's a team principals meeting at 5pm to discuss this and after that I'm sure it will be debated at the World Motor Sport Council of which I'm a member, and I think it would be rather inappropriate for me to pre-judge the issue here, so let's wait for all the team principals to meet and to discuss it at the FIA level and see where we go.\nLowdon: I think you asked 'have we made any representations?' Certainly I haven't and John (Booth) hasn't but that's more because the situation so far is not clear in terms of what the recommendations would be from the FIA and from FOM etc and so we just have to wait and see what develops. As a company, we want to play an important role in this sort of decision as well, but I don't think we necessarily have all the information.\nWhitmarsh: No representations, but I think, as Vijay said, I think it's probably something that's best discussed with the FIA and amongst the teams rather than via a press conference in any case.\nQ: (Byron Young - The Daily Mirror) Could I ask Doctor Mallya: are you in the situation with Adrian Sutil that regardless of what he has or has not done, you're obligated to put him in the car for the year? If he's got a contract, he's got a contract.\nMallya: You know, contracts do not supercede misconduct so unless I'm convinced that there is misconduct the contract shall prevail. And I'm not willing to jump to any conclusions, based on a press release that has been given out by a potentially or supposedly aggrieved party. I don't know what happened there, none of my people know what happened at that particular incident so there's a due process of law. So if Adrian is to be charged with misconduct, let him be charged. If and when he's charged, I will assess the situation.",

        "raw_content": "BEST APPROACH TO CITING OF JUDICIAL AUTHORITIES IN LEGAL ARGUMENTS\u2019 PRESENTED BY TAMUNOBELEMA ITAMUNOALA ESQ\n18 Sep BEST APPROACH TO CITING OF JUDICIAL AUTHORITIES IN LEGAL ARGUMENTS\u2019 PRESENTED BY TAMUNOBELEMA ITAMUNOALA ESQ\nA LECTURE ON THE TOPIC: \u2018BEST APPROACH TO CITING OF JUDICIAL AUTHORITIES IN LEGAL ARGUMENTS\u2019 PRESENTED BY TAMUNOBELEMA ITAMUNOALA ESQ. DURING THE WEEKLY OFFICE MEETING OF THE LAW FIRM OF GRANVILLE ABIBO & CO. HELD ON THE 20TH DAY OF JULY, 2018.\nThe task of citing Judicial authorities is one that confronts every legal practitioner in active legal practice. Indeed, the essence of Judicial authorities, particularly in legal arguments, cannot be overemphasized. Consequently, it behoves every legal practitioner to exert conscious efforts into learning and indeed learning beyond the rudiments of citing judicial authorities.\nQuite unfortunately, in our legal practice today, very few legal practitioners are abreast with the rules for proper legal citation, resulting in the improper application of authorities, particularly Judicial authorities, in such a way that they end up conveying a meaning other than that which the writer intended to convey to the Court at the point of writing the legal argument. There is no gainsaying that this has accounted for the loss of several juicy and promising cases of legal practitioners on diverse occasions. More importantly, unless some positive focus is shifted towards this direction, it will continue to account for more losses in the legal practice of Legal Practitioners.\nIt is for this reason that I deem it necessary to appreciate the management of the law firm of Granville Abibo and Co., for setting out a topic as this for discussion today. It is my sincere desire that at the end of this lecture, a greater number of lawyers would have become informed about the proper way, as well as the importance of proper citation of judicial authorities, particularly in legal arguments.\nWHAT ARE JUDICIAL AUTHORITIES?\nFor the purpose of this paper, judicial authorities refer to decisions of superior Courts which form binding precedents that a Court or other judicial body is bound to apply while deciding subsequent cases involving similar issues or facts.[1] Therefore, the phrase \u2018judicial authority\u2019 may be used interchangeably with \u2018judicial precedents\u2019 and \u2018case law\u2019 in this paper.\nUSES OF JUDICIAL AUTHORITY IN LEGAL ARGUMENTS\nThe importance of Judicial authorities to a lawyer cannot be overemphasized. However, it is notable that judicial authorities may be applied to serve various purposes in legal arguments, including:\nIt could be used as a sword to attack the opponents case (such as where the opponent makes a fundamental error in the conduct of his case and case law is applied to defeat the case of that opponent e.g. In the case of an unsigned writ of summons, the myriad of authorities are clear that it is incurably bad. See, CITEC INT\u2019L ESTATES LTD V. YUSUF & ANOR[2])\nIt could also be used as a sword to puncture the jurisdiction of a Court. (e.g. where any of the ingredients stated by the Supreme Court in MADUKOLU V. NKEMDILIM[3] is lacking, the Court will not have Jurisdiction)\nIt could be used as a shield to protect a case that would otherwise have been destroyed. (e.g. HERITAGE BANK LTD V. BENTWORTH FINANCE (NIG) LTD where the Supreme Court held that except for originating processes, Courts should no longer strike out Court processes that are inadvertently signed in the name of a law firm, unless the other party objects to such irregularity at the earliest opportunity.)\nIt could be used to strengthen your legal argument on a point. (Such as where Counsel is informing the Court that the facts of his case are similar to those of the selected judicial authority, and so the Court should not deviate from the earlier decision upon which a precedent has been formed)\nIt could be used to counter your opponents argument on a point. ( E.g. where your opponent merely argues (without authority) that a party can waive his right to challenge the jurisdiction of the Court, you may counter his argument with a judicial authority where the contrary was held)\nIt could also be used to counter your opponent\u2019s authority (e.g. where a superior Court over rules the decision of the lower Court upon which your opponent relied)\nIt could be used to distinguish your opponents authority from a relevant fact in issue. (Such as where counsel is informing the Court that the facts of the instant case are different from those of the opponent\u2019s judicial authority, and so it would be improper for the Court to hold in line with the opponent\u2019s Judicial authority).\nIt could be used to guide the Court on a proper procedure or law (Such as in a contract case, where the express terms of the contract are ambiguous and the implied terms are not farfetched)\nBEST PRACTICAL APPROACH TO CITING JUDICIAL AUTHORITIES IN LEGAL ARGUMENTS\nWorthy of note is that there are various effective approaches to citing judicial authorities in legal arguments and the resolution on which is best is relative, depending largely on the person and his style of writing. Precisely, it may be difficult, if not impossible, to handpick and name a particular approach as the best approach to citing judicial authorities in legal arguments. Consequently, this paper aims to stipulate central guiding principles for proper citation of judicial authorities in legal arguments using a singular effective approach. In so doing, legal practitioners would be able to conveniently learn the principles and apply them properly, using an approach that best suits them.\nAccordingly, the central guiding principles for proper citation of judicial authorities in legal arguments are as follows:\nCHOOSE JUDICIAL AUTHORITIES CAREFULLY\nThis is perhaps the most important rule of citing judicial authorities, because your choice of case law could determine whether your usage of the case law would be to your ultimate benefit or to the ultimate destruction of your case. In choosing judicial authorities, the following rules must be carefully followed:\nEnsure to do an in-depth study of all cases you intend to strongly rely on. Never cite any judicial authority that you have not read comprehensively. According to Chinua Asuzu[4], the best way to study a judgment is to read the whole case and make case notes containing:\na summary of the facts in your own words;\nan analysis of the issues to elucidate them and state them as deep issues in your own words;\na summary of the Court\u2019s reasoning in your own words; and\nfinally select a few choice quotations you might want to use for your legal argument.\nCarefully study your opponents authorities to ensure that the Court actually said what he quoted.\nIdentify how you intend to apply the judicial precedent to your case. As noted above, there are various uses of judicial authorities. Therefore, in choosing judicial authorities, you must be clear on what purpose you want it to serve.\nKnow and choose your best precedents. According to Bryan A. Garner[5], it is advisable to rely majorly on cases where the successful parties case aligns with your case. This is because, no amount of supportive language in the opinion of the judge can help you if, in the end, the decision does not support you. Therefore, your best precedents are those in which the trial Court did what you now ask the Court to do and the appellate Court affirmed the trial Court\u2019s decision. (e.g. If your argument is for dismissal of the suit, your best precedent will be one in which a party in the same position as your client successfully requested for dismissal at the trial Court and the trial Court\u2019s decision dismissing the suit was allowed on appeal.)\nSpecifically ensure that what you intend to rely on is actually the judgment of the Court and not merely a dissenting opinion. Also, clarify that the Judicial authority says what you think it says. Therefore, Law reporters summaries should only be used as pointers to relevant pages of a judgment.\nCarefully ensure that the decision you wish to rely on has not been overruled by a superior Court.\nAscertain whether there are more recent dissenting authorities on the issue given by a Court of concurrent jurisdiction.\nFollow a hierarchical order in choosing judicial authorities. The most recent judicial authorities should be preferred, as those form better precedents likely to be followed by the Court. Also, according to the doctrine of stare decisis, a lower Court is bound to honour the findings of law made by a higher Court, where such findings are in respect to same facts and issues before the lower Court.[6] Consequently, where available, it is preferable to use precedents formed by the highest Court.\nNever cite a judicial authority unless it has a significant purpose to serve.\nIt is preferable to choose judicial authorities that are easily accessible, such as those reported in the popular law reports.\nAlways remember that whereas ratio decidendi is binding, obiter dictum is not. Therefore, correctly ascertain that what you wish to rely on forms part of the ratio decidendi.\nTreat concurring judgments with caution as they may include pronouncements veering off the ratio decidendi\nTo ascertain the ratio decidendi, relate the decision and pronouncements to the facts and controversy the Court was properly faced with. Whereas in appellate matters, relate the questions the Court was called upon to answer to the decision of the Court. The ratio decidendi is simply the Court\u2019s solution to the problem presented to it by the parties.\nAPPLY YOUR CHOSEN JUDICIAL AUTHORITIES PROPERLY\nAfter a proper choice of judicial authority, the next important task is the proper application of the judicial authority. In proper application of judicial authorities, the following rules should be considered:\nRELATING CITED AUTHORITY TO CASE AT HAND:\nOne effective method of relating cited authorities to the case at hand is by doing a concise comparative analysis of the facts and issues in both cases as they relate to your argument and then emphasizing the similarities. This is most helpful where the facts and issues of the judicial authority you want to relate to your case are closely related to the facts and issues in your case, in such a manner that you can urge the Court to do for you what the Court did in the Judicial authority being cited.\nDISTINGUISHING THE OPPONENT\u2019S AUTHORITIES:\nThis could occur in various circumstances such as when your position is that the facts, issues and circumstances in your opponents authority are different from those of the instant case and therefore should not be followed in deciding the instant case; or where your position is that the facts, issues and circumstances in your opponents authority are different from those of the authority cited by you and so your position which is supported by the authority you cited should be followed. Whatever the case, the sole aim here is to discredit your opponent\u2019s authority.\nIn either case or any other case, this could also be achieved using the same approach employed above. Hence, it could be achieved by doing a concise distinctive analysis of the facts and issues in both cases as they relate to your argument, and then emphasizing the differences and showing the Court reasons why it should not rely on your opponent\u2019s authority.\nIn citing judicial authorities, first state the principle in your own words, then support it with the relevant case law.\nIf the authority you are citing gave exceptions, you should first state those exceptions and show that your case does not come within any of the exceptions.\nEndeavour to show that the authority you are relying on is not only binding but is also good law. To do this, you should explain why the principal cases you relied on were decided correctly.[7]\nEmphasize the rules from the cases and not the cases themselves.[8]\nNote that you could either quote the statement of the Court or you could transform same into your argument and refer the Court to the citation of the case.\nPROPER REFERENCING OF JUDICIAL AUTHORITIES\nThis is another important aspect of citing judicial authorities that is frequently overlooked. However, proper citation of judicial authorities would help to ensure, not only that the Court correctly understands what you want it to understand, but that it can also easily access the pages and paragraphs of the law report you refer it to.\nWhereas there is no hard and fast rule about referencing judicial authorities, the following are to be considered in referencing judicial authorities:\nThe style of using footnotes in legal arguments is not very popular in Nigeria. However, it is advisable to adopt such style as it helps to make the legal brief more readable and comprehensible. Putting citations in the body of your brief clutters the text, slows the reader, and hampers the writer\u2019s ability to construct a coherent paragraph.[9] To use the footnoting method, you should state the name of the case and banish the rest of the references to the footnotes section.\nPROPER QUOTATION:\nMark P. Painter[10] rightly stated that quotations should be used sparingly and should not be lengthy in order to improve readability. Also ensure that quotations are used only as support material to your own reasoning. Thus you must first have something to say, which you now support with a well-chosen quotation from a judicial authority. Again, when you quote, you must either quote exactly as stated by the Judge or show any changes you have made by using brackets and ellipses.[11] It is preferable to use indentation for all quotations.\nADOPT PINPOINT REFERENCING STYLE\nThis is simply a citation containing details as to the precise page and paragraph you are referring to or quoting from. It helps to simplify the judge\u2019s task and lends credence to your legal argument.[12]\nAs earlier noted, the importance of proper citation of judicial authorities in legal arguments cannot be overemphasised. However, it is believed that the contents of this paper, if properly studied and applied, would be useful in imbibing the culture of proper citation of judicial authorities in legal practitioners, and ultimately contribute to improving the standard of legal practice amongst Legal Practitioners in Nigeria.\n[1] https://definitions.uslegal.com/j/judicial-precedents/\n[2] (2016) LPELR-40207\n[3] (1962) 2 ALL NLR 581 AT 589\n[4] Chinua Asuzu, \u2018Brief-Writing Masterclass\u2019 Michael Igweobi, Grafix Direction Services, 2017 @ 346\n[5] B.

        "raw_content": "Browse: Home / Versarien acquires Cambridge Graphene Ltd.\nVersarien plc (AIM:VRS) (\u201cVersarien\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d or the \u201cGroup\u201d), the advanced materials group, is pleased to announce that it that it has acquired 85 per cent. of the issued share capital of Cambridge Graphene Limited (\u201cCambridge Graphene\u201d) (the \u201cAcquisition\u201d) and to provide an update on current trading.\nAcquisition of Cambridge Graphene\nCambridge Graphene, currently owned by its management and Cambridge Enterprise Ltd. (the commercialization arm of the University of Cambridge), supplies novel inks based on graphene and related materials, using patented processes and develops graphene materials technology for licensing to manufacturers.\nThe Directors believe the Acquisition presents an exciting opportunity for Versarien to acquire a business with complementary skills and operations to the Company\u2019s current graphene activities, particularly with Cambridge Graphene\u2019s existing expertise and opportunities in the graphene ink area.\nLike the Company\u2019s existing subsidiary, 2-DTech, born out of the University of Manchester, Cambridge Graphene was born out of the University of Cambridge to commercialise the university\u2019s graphene expertise. The Universities of Manchester and Cambridge are the two centres of excellence for graphene in the UK. Following the acquisition of Cambridge Graphene, both universities will be shareholders in the Company, positioning Versarien at the epicenter of the commercial development of graphene both in the UK and globally.\nVersarien believes that the addition of Cambridge Graphene to its portfolio significantly increases the Company\u2019s ability to advance its experience and expertise to commercialise the considerable market opportunities for graphene both in the UK and internationally. Material produced at both Manchester and Cambridge will be able to be used at either site in product development and for supply to customers.\nThe total consideration for the Acquisition is \u00a3170,000 to be settled by \u00a325,000 in cash, from the Company\u2019s existing resources, and the issue of 1,450,000 new ordinary shares in the Company at an agreed price of 10p per share (\u201cNew Ordinary Shares\u201d). For the year ended 31 May 2016 Cambridge Graphene had negative net assets of \u00a39,047 and made a profit before tax of \u00a32,809. The vendors will retain the 15% shareholding in Cambridge Graphene not being acquired by Versarien.\nThe current financial year to 31 March 2017 has been one of significant investment and development for the Company with a number of notable events.\nAAC Cyroma, acquired on 3 October 2016, has been successfully integrated into the Group and its performance has been slightly ahead of expectations. With the acquisition of Cambridge Graphene announced today and the significant number of commercial collaborations announced by the Company during the current financial year to develop graphene related products in areas including healthcare, 3D printing, batteries, PAEK plastics and carbon fibre composite structures, the Board believes that the Group is very well positioned at the forefront of the development and commercialisation of graphene.\nOn 29 November 2016 the Group announced a significant graphene order for a carbon fibre composite related application, which the Company believes is one of the first significant orders placed in the UK for the supply of high quality graphene. The Board is pleased to report that the order was successfully completed and delivered ahead of schedule, despite the requirement for the tripling of manufacturing capacity to fulfill the order, demonstrating the ability to scale up at short notice.\nThe Group continues to make investments in its graphene related activities, including the ordering of additional capital equipment, to take advantage of the global opportunities it is seeing and expects further orders in the coming months.\nAs outlined in the Company\u2019s interim results announced on 29 November 2016, the Company\u2019s Hard Wear products business, Total Carbide, has been relocated to a new facility on the Westcott Venture Park in Oxfordshire. This necessary move, whilst being disruptive, has provided the Group with ample modern manufacturing capacity for both its Hard Wear and Thermal products which require similar engineering equipment. Trading conditions remain challenging in the Company\u2019s Hard Wear products business serving the oil and gas sector, where order levels have continued to be depressed. However, there are signs of a gradual pick up with incoming orders showing improvement.\nThe Company\u2019s Thermal Products business, Versarien Technologies, has been restructured over recent months including the appointment of a new sales team. The translation of expressions of interest from potential customers into firm sales orders has been slower than previously anticipated, although Thermal Products continues to enjoy a substantial pipeline of enquiries.\nThe backdrop of difficult trading conditions in the Company\u2019s most significant revenue contributing business, Total Carbide, coupled with the continued investment in the Group\u2019s graphene related activities means the financial outcome for the Company\u2019s financial year ending 31 March 2017 is likely to see revenues slightly below current market forecasts with a larger than previously anticipated loss.\nNeill Ricketts, CEO of Versarien, commented: \u201cWe are delighted with the acquisition of Cambridge Graphene and the opportunities it brings us. This addition to our existing graphene operations and in particular, 2-DTech, which we acquired from Manchester University in April 2014, bridges the gap between the two centres of excellence for graphene and between them really puts us at the centre of the graphene universe.\n\u201cWe are also very pleased to welcome a new team and shareholders, new IP and an existing partnership agreement with the Cambridge Graphene Centre and The University of Cambridge.\nWhilst trading conditions remain challenging in our mature Hard Wear products business, we continue to invest in developing our graphene capabilities to take advantage of this enormous global opportunity and look forward to the future with confidence.\u201d\nIssue of New Ordinary Shares Pursuant to the Acquisition\nApplication for admission to trading on AIM of the 1,450,000 New Ordinary Shares being issued pursuant to the Acquisition will be made and admission is expected to take place on or around 26 January 2017. The New Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu with the existing Ordinary Shares in issue.\nIn accordance with the provisions of the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the FCA, the Company confirms that, following the Acquisition, its issued share capital will comprise 121,294,003 Ordinary Shares of 1 pence each. All Ordinary Shares shall have equal voting rights and none of the Ordinary Shares are held in treasury. The total number of voting rights in the Company immediately following Admission will therefore be 121,294,003.\nThis announcement includes inside information as defined in Article 7 of the Market Abuse Regulation No. 596/2014 and is disclosed in accordance with the Company\u2019s obligations under Article 17 of those Regulations.\nSource: Versarien\nwww.versarien.com\nNeill Ricketts \u2013 Chief Executive Officer\nChris Leigh \u2013 Chief Financial Officer\nWH Ireland (Nominated Adviser)\nwww.whirelandplc.com\nMike Coe / Ed Allsopp\nIFC Advisory (Financial PR and IR)\nwww.investor-focus.co.uk\nTim Metcalfe / Graham Herring / Heather Armstrong /\nMiles Nolan",

        "raw_content": "Carol Myers has a labor of love. It\u2019s the St. Nicholas Center, a website resource center honoring the saint celebrated today. She writes,\nI first became interested in St. Nicholas when our children were small. I wanted them to understand that there was a person of faith behind Santa Claus\u2014a real person who served God and gave gifts to help others. We hoped that understanding who Santa really was, Saint Nicholas, would help them connect faith and giving. And, just maybe, it would help avoid some seasonal greed.\nLiving in Holland, Michigan, we added Dutch touches to our St. Nicholas Day. On the evening of December 5th, our three children put their wooden shoes, filled with carrots, on the hearth. In the morning the boys would find two matchbox cars and a mesh bag of gold Dutch chocolate coins. Our daughter might find a piece of jewelry or special barrettes. Simple things, but they brightened an Advent day and gave an opportunity to talk about St. Nicholas.\nThat was just the beginning of what has become a site overflowing with lessons and possibilities for families today. Not only is her website full of free content, she also started a store to ship out real-world items, as well as created a traveling educational display about St. Nicholas. Her goal is to help families and churches celebrate the real-life saint from the fourth century, now known to many of us as Santa Claus and inextricably woven with this season. Carol writes,\nAs Bishop of Myra, Nicholas lived the qualities that caused his fame and popularity to spread throughout the Christian world. His vigorous actions on behalf of his people and in defense of the Christian faith reveal a man who lived his convictions. Nicholas was not timid\u2014he did what was necessary and was not easily intimidated by others\u2019 power and position. His concern for the welfare of his flock and his stand for orthodox belief earned him respect as a model for bishops and a defender of the faith.\nIt\u2019s been a long journey from the Fourth Century Bishop of Myra, St. Nicholas, who showed his devotion to God in extraordinary kindness and generosity to those in need, to America\u2019s jolly Santa Claus, whose largesse often supplies luxuries to the affluent. However, if you peel back the accretions, he is still Nicholas, Bishop of Myra, whose caring surprises continue to model true giving and faithfulness.\nThere is growing interest in reclaiming the original saint in the United States to help restore a spiritual dimension to this festive time. For indeed, St. Nicholas, lover of the poor and patron saint of children, is a model of how Christians are meant to live. A bishop, Nicholas put Jesus Christ at the center of his life, his ministry, his entire existence. Families, churches, and schools are embracing true St Nicholas traditions as one way to claim the true center of Christmas\u2014the birth of Jesus. Such a focus helps restore balance to increasingly materialistic and stress-filled Advent and Christmas seasons.\nIf you have young children at home and you haven\u2019t prepared a thing, fear not! Carol has a full page of coloring images for you. Pick your favorite, print it out and ask a child to color it for you to celebrate the saint. Offer some basic facts (St. Nicholas was a real bishop who lived 1600 years ago! We are celebrating him today!) and you\u2019re good to go.\nOr, if you have more time on your hands, fall down the beautiful internet rabbit hole of her Celebrate at Home link and see the many ways families celebrate St. Nicholas, both now and in the past.\nWhat a gift to us all Carol has created with this site! We give thanks to God for her ministry. Celebrate St. Nicholas today \u2013 with her and with the company of saints around the world.\n[Image credit: Gaby Kooiman [CC BY-SA 2.5 ], from Wikimedia Commons.

        "raw_content": "Diagnosis Ten Years Later... \u201cI Have MS\u201d\nBy Judy Pottgen\nI have MS. I have always been a fighter. But before I was diagnosed with MS I was frightened. It started with excruciating pain in my jaw. Pain relievers were of little to no help. I saw my family physician, who in turn referred me to my dentist, who said I had an abscessed tooth. That tooth was pulled and still no relief. I was then referred to a jaw specialist. No diagnosis. I saw a neurosurgeon friend. No help. Then referred to a neurologist. Had an MRI of the brain and cervical spine. Again, no diagnosis. I took my films home and as if out of a movie comedy, my neighbor, and a research physician told me to see a partner of his, who happened to be a neurologist specializing in MS. Finally a diagnosis, just before Mother\u2019s Day - it is MS. Moreover, I probably had it for the past ten years, but the symptoms had been masked by my thinking they were side effects of breast cancer surgery more than a decade earlier.\nI was put on a regimen of drugs, then more drugs, physical therapy, etc, etc. But I still had questions. Every day. So four years later I decided to start a MS support group. My family was wonderful and tried very hard to understand what I was going through, but they just \u201cdidn\u2019t get it\u201d.\nThe benefits of belonging to our support group are numerous. It is wonderful to sit in a room and have people who understand your daily struggles with MS because they are struggling also. We have each other to lean on in bad times and to celebrate with in good times. We have grown in numbers in these last three years and have quite a diverse membership. We are men and women, young and old, newly diagnosed and those having the disease for over 30 years. We learn from each other's experiences and we are cheerleaders for each other.\nFor some of our meetings we have guest speakers who keep us up to date on all the new drugs, the newest research, and the newest appliances made to make our daily lives easier. We have become a family and will continue to be strong because of the love and camaraderie and unbreakable bond we have formed.\nThe Multiple Sclerosis North Hills Support Group meets every second Tuesday of the month at Passavant Hospital, Donor Hall, 6:30 pm. Contact Judy at judpot50@yahoo.com or call (412) 979-2233. All are welcome, patients, family, caretakers, friends!",

        "raw_content": "Q: My parents had cataracts. What causes cataracts and is there anything I can do to prevent them?\nA: Age is the most important factor in developing cataracts. We will all get cataracts if we are fortunate enough to live that long. Of course some people get them earlier in life, and there are same factors that promote earlier cataracts.\nClearly eye trauma, diabetes, and steroid use (glucocorticoids like prednisone) are factors and are to some extent modifiable. You can't un-injure your eye, but you can wear eye protection. Diabetes in this country is mostly Type 2, which is often related to obesity and therefore is largely preventable with good diet and exercise. If you already have diabetes, be sure to manage it closely to limit tissue damage. Steroid use is typically under the care of a physician and is done for a reason, so that's a tougher one. It is still worth thinking about though because it seems that the more steroids a person receives in a lifetime, the more likely they are to develop cataracts. Perhaps there is a different drug that might be better for you if you are taking a lot of steroids. It's ok to ask your doctor about that.\nSmoking also seems to contribute to cataract, but frankly if you smoke there are more significant reasons to quit, such as the hugely increased risk for cancer, heart disease and stroke. Ultraviolet light, similarly, may contribute to cataracts, but it seems to be a relatively minor player. The key with ultraviolet light is moderation. It can also cause skin cancers (and even eyeball cancers), including melanoma, which can be deadly.\nHall T.

An exception is made in subsection 30(2) for minor children in Canada are authorized to study at the pre-school, primary or secondary level without a student permit, with the exception of the children of temporary residents who are not authorized to work or study in Canada. Regulation-making authority to provide for any matter relating to the application of section 30 and to define terms and prescribe conditions respecting study in Canada by classes of temporary residents is contained in section 32.\nPart 11 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRP Regulations) establishes the parameters governing study permits. The Regulations authorize foreign nationals to study without a student permit if the course or study program lasts six months or less. They allow officers to refuse permit applications from students who previously studied in Canada without a permit or who failed to comply with the conditions imposed when they entered Canada.\nThe purpose of the provisions is to prescribe which foreign nationals may be issued a study permit.\nThe provisions specify:\nwho can be authorized to study in Canada without a permit;\nwho can be authorized to study in Canada with a permit;\nwho can apply for a permit in Canada, whether at the time of entry or after having obtained authorization to enter and remain in Canada;\nwhich are the mandatory requirements a course must meet to qualify a foreign national to receive a study permit; and\nwhich are the requirements foreign nationals must meet when applying for a study permit.\nThese regulations use new terminology. The student authorizations issued under the 1978 Immigration Act are called study permits under the new system. Under current legislation, students were considered as visitors who had received student authorizations. The new Regulations make foreign students a prescribed class of persons who may obtain temporary resident status and who have been issued student permits. Hence, foreign students have the same obligations as temporary residents.\nUnder the current Act, all exemptions from the requirement to obtain a student authorization are provided for in the associated regulations. Because access to education is a fundamental principle, the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act provides that minor children in Canada may study at the pre-school, primary or secondary level, with the exception of the minor children of temporary residents who are not authorized to work or study. These Regulations apply in particular to children of refugee claimants.\nAny temporary resident may now study in Canada without a permit if the course or study program lasts for six months or less. Under the old system, this exemption was only granted for courses in English and French as a Second Language of three months or less.\nThe exemption period has been increased from three to six months in order to harmonize it with the length of stay normally authorized for visitors. The Regulations state that, despite this exemption, students may obtain a student permit before applying for authorization to enter Canada. This will allow them to apply later, in Canada, for an extension or for changes to the conditions imposed when they entered in order to pursue studies over a longer period of time.\nThe new provisions allow officers to refuse to issue or renew student permits for foreign nationals who previously studied without a permit or who failed to comply with the conditions imposed when they entered the country, unless one year has passed since their infringement. Under the old system, a visitor\u2019s infringement of the Act, or of the conditions of his of her entry to Canada, was used only as a reason for not issuing an employment authorization.\nIn addition, under the old system, students and visitors who failed to comply with the conditions of their admission to Canada could avoid being the subject of a removal action by leaving Canada voluntarily. These students and visitors could obtain new student authorizations if they met the financial requirements, if they were registered at an accepted educational institution and if the course in question made them eligible to apply for a student authorization. These provisions created a legislative gap that made it possible to circumvent the requirements of the Act with impunity.\nSchedule III, which proscribed certain institutions, was not retained because one of the regulatory requirements for obtaining a student permit is that the course must be given by an educational institution that is either governed by a federal statute or charter, or is provincially regulated, or publicly funded. Most of the institutions in Schedule III no longer exist, and the one that does still exist, does not meet the requirements that would allow a foreign national to obtain a student permit.\nBecause education falls under provincial jurisdiction, the requirement for a study permit could be completely eliminated and foreign students treated as visitors. This alternative was not adopted because it would result in inconsistent application across Canada and would not allow us to ensure that the proposed studies were not potentially injurious to Canadian security. The in-formation captured from study permits is important; it tells us about the type of courses these students are taking, where they are enrolling, where they are from, their numbers and their gender. If necessary, the information can be used in analyses and to maintain the integrity of the program. Finally, it helps us assess the economic impact on Canada and helps our partners in educational institutions target potential markets.\nStudy permits and the requirements for obtaining them were retained in the new IRP Regulations as a control measure to allow us to verify, before granting entry into Canada, that financial pro-visions have been made to ensure the student\u2019s well-being while in Canada, that the foreign national is not taking courses that would be injurious to Canadian security and that the educational institutions will not be used to circumvent the provisions relating to the limits of a temporary stay.\nThe purpose of allowing minor children to study without a student permit is to facilitate access to education for all minor children in Canada by reducing the administrative procedures. After presenting documentation indicating the purpose of the stay, other than tourism, the provincial authorities and educational institutions may be contacted in order to register the child.\nAllowing foreign nationals to take courses or study programs in Canada of six months or less without study permits facilitates the recruitment of foreign students for short periods of study in Canada while eliminating additional administrative procedures. This helps our partners in educational institutions to compete with other countries and increase their share of the market of international students.\nIn 2000, more than 15 000 student authorizations were issued to people who would not need them under the new Act. This rep-resents 20 percent of all applications processed. Client service will be improved significantly from the point of view of foreign students as they will no longer need to contact an office abroad if they are from a country that is exempt from the requirement to obtain a Canadian temporary resident visa. Having 20 percent fewer student permit applications to process will allow visa offices located in countries that are exempt from the requirement to obtain a temporary resident visa to allocate some of their human resources to other priority activities.\nIn addition to increasing our share of the market, this generates significant economic benefits for Canada, since each foreign student spends an average of $20,000 per year on tuition fees and living expenses.\nAuthorizing officers to refuse study permit applications from foreign nationals who have failed to comply with the Act, unless one year has passed since their last infringement, enhances program integrity. In addition, these provisions encourage foreign nationals to respect their obligations, including the imposed conditions, and to comply with the Act.\nFinally, establishing criteria in the Regulations that make it possible to identify the educational institutions for which study permits may be issued, helps ensure consistent application and makes it possible to consider newly created educational institutions using the same parameters.\nThe direct cost of the new provision allowing students to take courses or study programs of less than six months without a student permit is a net loss of $1,185,000 in annual revenue. This net loss in annual revenue represents the difference between the annual revenue of $1,875,000 from the processing fees for more than 15 000 student permit applications and $690,000 from the annual processing fees in connection with applications for multiple entry temporary resident visas for students from non-exempt countries.\nNumerous organizations were consulted throughout the legislative review process, including the provincial governments, and their departments of education, as well as the Council of Ministers of Education, Canada (CMEC). The non-governmental organizations consulted are mainly connected to education, the recruitment of foreign students, associations of public and private sector institutions and representatives of academic, technical and professional institutions. The following are but a few examples of organizations that were consulted:\nThe Advisory Committee on International Students and Immigration (ACISI), which includes representatives of public and private sector educational institutions\nCanadian Association of Private Language Schools (CAPLS)\nAir Transport Association of Canada (ATAC)\nCanadian Bureau for International Education (CBIE)\nCanadian Education Centre Network (CECN).\nForeign nationals who do not meet the requirements for a student permit will not be issued one. Foreign nationals who obtain this permit and do not comply with the obligations of a temporary resident and the imposed conditions may be reported as inadmissible under subsection 44(1) of the Act and, as a result, have a removal order made against them.\nIn addition, the IRP Regulations state that student permits will not be issued to foreign nationals who previously studied without a permit or who failed to comply with their obligations. This pro-vision should have the desired deterrent effect so that students will comply with the requirement to obtain a student permit and with their obligations as temporary residents.\nDirector, Economic Policy and Programs,\nSelection Branch, Citizenship and Immigration Canada,\nOttawa, Ontario, K1A 1L1\n(613) 954-4214 (Telephone), (613) 954-0850 (Facsimile).",

Games will be held on 27 courts in the Convention Center's exhibition hall, with 12 games per court every day.\nThe event will support an estimated 1,941 hospitality jobs and generate more than $401,000 in sales tax for Connecticut, CTCSB President Robert Murdock said Wednesday.\nEstablished at the Convention Center in 2010, the tournament has tripled in size and is now coed.\nSingle-day and all-tournament passes range from $12 to $20. Prices are cheaper online vs. on-site. Children ages 10 and under are admitted for free.\nEvents booked through CTCSB in 2018 generated more than $54.1 million in spending by convention, meeting and sports events attendees during their Connecticut visits, the organization said. Those events generated over $3.6 million in taxes for the state.",

        "raw_content": "A Guide To Practical Patio Designs And Covers\nSeptember 10, 2015 Pergolas and Verandas\nWhen it comes to patio designs and covers, practicality should be your primary concern. This will not only ensure that the structure functions as you intended and withstands the test of time, it will ensure that it looks its absolute best and is enjoyed for many years to come. There are a number of factors that should be considered when putting together your design; we have outlined some of these below to ensure that you know where to start.\nThe first step in the patio design process is to make a list of all the things that you want to get out of the structure:\nWill it be a place that is solely used for relaxing outdoors or will it also be a workspace (for cooking and entertaining)?\nWhat will it house \u2013 a dining setting, a lounge setting, a pizza oven, a spa, a fireplace, or something else entirely?\nWill it be used all year round or only when the weather is nice (so, mostly during spring and summer)?\nOnce you have determined the answers to these questions you can begin looking at all the other aspects of the design.\nIt\u2019s important that you consider your patio\u2019s flooring, as it needs to withstand the elements and all of the items that you place on top of it. Most homeowners opt for concrete, timber or natural stone. Concrete is relatively affordable and extremely durable, but it does tend to have a bland appearance unless you paint it. Timber can be long lasting if it\u2019s installed correctly and properly maintained, but it can have problems with insect attack and rotting. Natural stone is very durable and attractive, but it does tend to be a little expensive.\nIt is equally important that you consider roofing in patio designs and covers, as this is what will protect the space from the elements. There are a number of roofing materials that homeowners choose, including: polycarbonate, metal (usually Colorbond), shade cloths and other plastics. Some homeowners also choose to leave the roof open, often with beams that they train vines and other plants to grow on. We recommend polycarbonate, as it allows plenty of natural light to penetrate the space whilst keeping it cool and comfortable.\nIf you are planning on adding some other feature to the patio, it\u2019s important that you have considered this during the design phase. Some popular features include an outdoor fireplace, pizza ovens and outdoor kitchens, ceiling fans and heaters, lighting and even fire pits. These sorts of features can have a significant effect on the layout of the structure and how it is built \u2013 where does the chimney or flue go, for example \u2013 so it\u2019s important that they\u2019re incorporated from the very beginning. Trying to add them in later will only cause headaches.\nAs you can see, keeping it practical when it comes to patio designs and covers is key to ensuring that the finished product is everything you wanted and more. In this day and age, homeowners are too concerned with how the patio will look and not concerned enough with how it will function. This is why it is important to start the process off by answering the above questions and then moving through each of the primary elements.\nLight & Space provides complete outdoor living solutions like patio designs, covers and pergolas in Melbourne to increase the value of your home with a range of separate colors & shades.",

        "raw_content": "But it is the recent book by one of my favorite photographers, William Albert Allard that helps me to yet again see this classic city with new eyes. In William Albert Allard Paris: Eye of the Flaneur, he showcases work that he has been produced of the city over the past three decades. Some of these image were produced while on assignment for National Geographic, while others were created during personal visits. But you will not see much difference here between the assigned and personal work because Allard's approaches it all with the sensibility of the street photographer that he is.\nFlaneur means idler or saunterer and it is this sensibility that Allard uses to describe how he wanders through the street of Paris, without intention or agenda. Instead, he allows light and color and gesture to draw the attention of his camera. The resulting images go well beyond merely being aesthetically rich and vibrant, but also reveal the city in a very personal and intimate way. There are no picture postcards to be found here.\nThough Allard is often associated with his work with the American West, his eye is no less poignant and insightful when capturing the nuances of Paris. His willingness to simply explore and embrace the unexpected, allows him to not only capture photographs that are beautiful, but which also cut through the surface of the city's well-honed facade and reveals its real and sometimes contradictory reality.\nThe photographs are often beautifully rendered across two pages. And though I often prefer to not have a gutter run through a printed image, it does not take away from my appreciation of the work that Allard has gathered in his latest title.\nWhether or not you have traveled to Paris, this book provides a glimpse into how a master photographer uses his skills, talent and experience to bring a personal voice to an oft-photographed subject. For fans of Allard's work, this book offers yet another opportunity to appreciate his wonderful talent. And for those who are unfamiliar him, this book provides the perfect opportunity to discover both a legendary photographer and a legendary city.\n\u2190 Capturing the Embrace: Images from the Flickr PoolThe Candid Frame #414 - Joana Toro \u2192",

        "raw_content": "Chemotherapy will be obsolete in 20 years as scientists launch DNA project\nin: Analysis,Health & Fitness,People Making a Difference,Science & Technology News\nScientists launch a new landmark project to map the genetic causes of disease.\nWithin 20 years, chemotherapy will be obsolete. Scientists have predicted the end of chemotherapy after launching a landmark project to map 100,000 genomes to find the genes responsible for cancer and rare diseases.\nBy the time children born today reach adulthood, invasive drugs and their devastating side-effects, will have been replaced by sophisticated medicines that can fix individual faulty genes, according to those behind the project.\nBritain is the first country in the world to embark on a program to map the genomes of thousands of people in the hope of finding which genes are responsible.\nIn a joint \u00a3300 million project, universities across Britain are coming together, alongside the Department of Health, the Wellcome Trust, Great Ormond Street Hospital and the Medical Research Council.\nDavid Cameron, the prime minister, said the venture would \u2018unlock the power of DNA\u2019 to deliver \u2018better tests, better drugs and better care for patients.\u2019\n\u201cAs our plan becomes a reality, I believe we will be able to transform how devastating diseases are diagnosed and treated in the NHS and across the world,\u201d he said.\nThe first few hundred pilot participants in London, Cambridge and Newcastle have already donated DNA samples and the project is expected to be completed 2018.\n\u201c20 years from now there will be therapies, instead of chemo, that will be a much more targeted approach to treatment,\u201d said Prof Jeremy Farrer, head of the Wellcome Trust.\n\u201cWe will look back in 20 years time and the blockbuster chemotherapy drugs that gave you all those nasty side effects will be a thing of the past and we will think \u2018gosh what an era that was\u2019.\n\u201cUnderstanding humanity\u2019s genetic code is not only going to be fundamental to the medicine of the future. It is essential part of medicine today. In rare congenital disease, in cancer and in infections, genomic insights are already transforming diagnosis and treatment.\u201d\nProf Farrer also predicted that genome sequencing to find the causes of the disease will become standard within our lifetime.\nThe first human genome was sequenced in 2003 following 13 years of work at a cost of \u00a32 billion. Now it takes around two days and costs just \u00a31,000.\nA genome consists of a person\u2019s 20,000 or so genes and the DNA in between. Each genome consists of a code of 3 billion letters.\nOver the next four years, about 75,000 patients with cancer and rare diseases, plus their close relatives, will have their whole genetic codes, or genomes, sequenced.\nCancer patients will have the DNA of both healthy and tumour cells mapped, making up the 100,000 total.\nScientists expect the project to be pivotal to the development of future personalised treatments based on genetics, with the potential to revolutionise medicine.\nA \u00a378 million partnership between Genomics England, the body set up by the Department of Health to oversee the project, and the Californian DNA sequencing technology company Illumina was unveiled by Mr Cameron today.\nIllumina, originally \u201cspun out\u201d by Cambridge University scientists, will invest around \u00a3162 million into the project over its lifetime.\nBy the end of next year that figure is expected to have risen to about 10,000.\nStrict confidentiality rules will be enforced and under normal circumstances, patients will not be told of unforeseen surprises that might effect their health \u2013 or insurance premiums.\nBut helpful findings will be fed back to the doctors in charge of their treatment. In return, those consenting to having their DNA sequenced must agree to drug companies having access to the information as well as academic scientists.\nOne example of such a therapy that already exists is Herceptin, a drug specifically designed for women with a type of breast cancer characterised by over-activity of the Her2 gene. .\nSimon Stevens, chief executive of NHS England, said: \u201cThe NHS is now set to become one of the world\u2019s \u2018go-to\u2019 health services for the development of innovative genomic tests and patient treatments.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "This company is trying to disrupt the braces industry and dentists are fighting back\nin: Great New Product,Healthcare,Home Technology,Science & Technology News\nSmileDirectClub offers to straighten your teeth at a fraction of the cost of braces, without a visit to the dentist. But orthodontists claim the company has endangered the oral health of tens of thousands of people.\nDentists are waging a war against SmileDirectClub, a startup whose mail-order product promises to straighten teeth at a fraction of the cost of braces, without the hassle of a dentist\u2019s office.\nThe American Association of Orthodontists (AAO), representing 18,000 dental professionals, has lodged complaints with dental boards and attorneys general in 36 states, alleging that SmileDirect\u2019s service \u2014 which allows customers to skip in-person doctor visits and X-rays \u2014 is \u201cillegal and creates medical risks.\u201d\nAt least three state dental boards \u2014 in Alaska, California, and West Virginia \u2014 have opened investigations into the company, though none have yet been completed. In August, Alaska\u2019s board voted to ask the state\u2019s licensing division to send a cease-and-desist letter barring SmileDirect from selling there.\n\u201cIt became very clear to us that they were violating the law,\u201d Kevin Dillard, general counsel at the AAO, told BuzzFeed News. \u201cOur goal is to make sure that those states understand that there is a market participant here that we believe is violating their laws that exist to protect the public.\u201d\nAt the heart of the legal dispute is the company\u2019s role in the braces business. The AAO argues that SmileDirectClub is doing medical work that many state laws reserve for licensed professionals: taking bite casts (called \u201cimpressions\u201d) and delivering dentalV appliances to patients. SmileDirect rebuts that it simply serves as a middleman, making virtual connections between patients and dentists: Once a customer signs up for the service, a professional designs their clear plastic trays. SmileDirectClub then makes and sells those custom \u201caligners\u201d and delivers them by mail.\n\u201cIt\u2019s a fine line between performing a medical service and simply matchmaking.\u201d\n\u201cSmileDirectClub\u2019s affordability and accessibility challenges more traditional orthodontic delivery models and has generated the standard pushback from those whose economic interests are affected by this progress,\u201d a company representative told BuzzFeed News in a statement.\nLike other telemedicine outfits \u2014 such as Warby Parker, which lets you get a prescription for eyeglasses through your laptop \u2014 SmileDirect\u2019s founders insist the company stays an arm\u2019s length from providing any medical care. But others aren\u2019t so sure.\n\u201cIt\u2019s a fine line between performing a medical service and simply matchmaking. It\u2019s not an easy line to draw,\u201d Gabe Nugent, a law partner at Barclay Damon LLP in New York, who is not involved in the dispute, told BuzzFeed News. \u201cIf they crossed the line so that they\u2019re influencing a patient\u2019s decision, then they go beyond simply matchmaking. That\u2019s where I see a potential problem.\u201d\nContents of a SmileDirectClub at-home impression kit.\nThe three-year-old Nashville startup was launched by college friends Alex Fenkell and Jordan Katzman, who saw a business opportunity in bringing low-cost teeth-straightening options to adults.\nThe duo understood that most adults feel self-conscious about being fitted with metal braces so late in life. Braces can be expensive, ranging from about $2,000 to $6,000, and the cosmetically superior alternative, clear plastic trays (or \u201caligners\u201d) made by Invisalign and others, cost roughly $6,000. Fenkell and Katzman thought of a way to disrupt the stodgy industry: have patients make their own dental impressions at home, ditching the office visit.\n\u201cIf we could bring affordable invisible aligners to the masses, done from the convenience of the home, there\u2019s a real opportunity to help people,\u201d Fenkell told BuzzFeed News. \u201cWe\u2019re about increasing access to care.\u201d\nSmileDirect boasts nearly 1,000 employees, tens of thousands of customers, and two signature products: $1,850 alignment trays and, for post-treatment maintenance, $99 retainers. Using a handful of hashtags \u2014 like \u201c#smiledirectclubjourney\u201d and \u201c#smiledirectclub\u201d \u2014 customers gleefully \u2019gram the arrival of their first set of aligners and gush over selfies describing progress.\nMore than 50 customers corresponded with BuzzFeed News, and almost all said that the company was their only financially feasible option to fix lifelong anxieties about their teeth and boost their self-esteem. Some had heard that professional dentists considered the product risky, but took that warning with a grain of salt, given that SmileDirect poses a financial threat to regular orthodontists.\nShayona McKinney\u2019s smile before (left) and after.\nFor 27-year-old Shayona McKinney, a tiny gap between her front teeth and a mild overbite had embarrassed her since middle school.\n\u201cI\u2019ve been unhappy and teased about my teeth since puberty. It\u2019s always something I\u2019ve wanted to change but couldn\u2019t afford it,\u201d McKinney, a nursing student Kokomo, Indiana, told BuzzFeed News. \u201cI was sick of my smile looking like this.\u201d\nShe and her husband were planning a celebration to renew their vows on their five-year wedding anniversary. So McKinney decided to spring for the SmileDirect trays, which she had found through a Google search.\nShe drove three hours to Chicago to visit a \u201cSmileShop,\u201d where a technician with an iPad took photographs of her mouth and scanned her teeth with a white wand. SmileDirectClub shipped off those photos and scans to a dentist or orthodontist, who used a computer simulation to design aligners. In June, the thin, transparent plastic trays that fit over her top and bottom teeth came in the mail.\nMcKinney is working through the series gradually, swapping the first set for the next, and the next, as her teeth move. It\u2019ll take about nine months in all. But after three months of wearing these trays almost every day and night, McKinney is excited about showing off her new smile. \u201cI can already tell a huge difference!\u201d she said.\nInside one of SmileDirectClub\u2019s New York City locations.\nSmileDirectClub\u2019s business model appears to be working. Align Technology \u2014 the company that makes Invisalign, SmileDirect\u2019s primary competitor \u2014 invested $46.7 million to become SmileDirect\u2019s exclusive supplier last year, and now owns of 17% of the company. SmileDirect has also opened 27 brick-and-mortar stores \u2014 \u201cSmileShops\u201d like the one McKinney went to \u2014 where, for $95, customers can walk in and have their teeth electronically scanned, skipping the fuss, and possibly the errors, involved with making prints at home.\nMeanwhile, lookalikes have launched with similar services: Orthly, launched by two University of Pennsylvania students, now offers services to customers in Philadelphia, and Candid Co. launched in New York this summer.\nA SmileDirect customer can be matched with any one of 225 affiliated dentists or orthodontists in 49 states. (The company does not operate in North Carolina: \u201cFor business reasons we chose not to go into that state yet,\u201d Fenkell said.) These dental professionals remotely review patient cases and then design the aligners that SmileDirect sends in the mail.\nThis structure, Fenkell contends, allows SmileDirectClub to function as a marketing company for dentists, connecting them with potential customers. The company declined to name any of the medical professionals within its network, and would not provide details about its financial relationships with them. \u201cEssentially they are collecting payments and paying us marketing fees,\u201d Fenkell said.\n\u201cI think that claim is rather bogus,\u201d AAO\u2019s general counsel Dillard said. \u201cThe consumers don\u2019t even see a dentist. That\u2019s one of their touted benefits \u2014 that it cuts out the need to see a doctor.\u201d\n\u201cI think that claim is rather bogus.\u201d\nCustomer reviews indicate that SmileDirect is struggling to keep up with demand, plagued by production backlogs and spotty customer service. (SmileDirectClub has a two-star rating on Yelp.) And many professional dentists are alarmed that customers never see a licensed doctor before or during their treatment.\n\u201cIt blew my mind,\u201d Casi Stubbs, a Florida orthodontist and member of the American Association of Orthodontists, told BuzzFeed News.\nLike typical orthodontists, SmileDirect\u2019s dentists base their prescriptions on computer simulations of mouth scans. But patients\u2019 teeth often move differently than the computer predicted, Stubbs said, which is why orthos recommend regular check-ins. \u201cThe teeth don\u2019t move biologically like they do on the computer system,\u201d Stubbs said.\nOne of her patients, 60-year-old Charlene Burnham, is a SmileDirect customer whose too-tight aligners cut her gums, exposing part of her tooth near the root. Burnham told BuzzFeed News she spent a week trying \u2014 and failing \u2014 to speak with a SmileDirect dentist on the phone, then went to Stubbs for help.\n\u201cThey were bleeding, they were cut to the root,\u201d Burnham said. She was surprised she wasn\u2019t able to reach a dentist affiliated with SmileDirect. \u201cI was appalled.\u201d\nA SmileDirect representative told BuzzFeed News by email that company-affiliated dentists \u201ctrack the patient\u2019s progress throughout treatment at regular intervals.\u201d\nThe company \u201cfacilitates the communications\u201d of customers and dental providers, the representative said. \u201cDental providers communicate directly with patients through the customer portal and via SMS or phone when appropriate or indicated.\u201d\nIn a YouTube video that\u2019s been viewed over 21,000 times since June, Baltimore orthodontist Jeffrey Miller warned people away from the service, saying that no orthodontist would ever prescribe aligners without first taking the X-rays that SmileDirect skips. \u201cThis is really bad stuff,\u201d he told BuzzFeed News.\nGrant Olson, a dentist in Springfield, Missouri, told BuzzFeed News that the company\u2019s product marketing, which compares itself with orthodontist-fitted Invisalign, is misleading. Unlike Invisalign trays, which orthodontists can optimize by sticking special attachments on a tooth, SmileDirect\u2019s product is limited to very slight corrections: The aligners can correct a tilt, but can\u2019t move a tooth\u2019s orientation or position along with its root.\nSmileDirectClub founder Fenkell agreed, but said the company avoids these problems by being selective about the kinds of cases it chooses.\n\u201cWe\u2019re focused on mild to moderate teeth straightening,\u201d Fenkell said. He explained that SmileDirect-affiliated orthodontists only approve cases that are suitable for a remote consultation and don\u2019t need follow-up dental visits.\nLaws for dentists vary across states, but there are some common themes in the 36 complaints sent by the AAO: Some states consider making impressions and providing retainers to be the role of a licensed doctor, but SmileDirectClub generally provides those services. Some states require that the companies providing dental services be owned by a licensed dentist, but neither founder is a doctor. AAO general counsel Dillard also told BuzzFeed News that the company\u2019s business model incentivizes dentists affiliated with SmileDirect to prescribe the trays even if they aren\u2019t necessary.\nAlthough the company hasn\u2019t attracted the attention of regulators yet, customer complaints abound online. TL;DR: Prepare for a bumpy ride.\nClosed Facebook groups hosted by SmileDirect customers register hundreds of posts, including complaints about late shipments, botched deliveries, bad customer service, and long wait times.\nThe vast majority of customers in these groups resign themselves to dealing with the snags because there are simply no other options.\n\u201cIf you can be patient, want a affordable plan, SDC IS the right way to go! Having a positive attitude and being patient goes a LONG way,\u201d Melanie Masso wrote to BuzzFeed News.\nAs another customer, Alexandra Durham, put it: \u201cCrap customer service but a cheap product that works.\u201d\n\u201cFood is hard to chew now and they won\u2019t fix it!\u201d\nA SmileDirectClub representative acknowledged that it had encountered shipping delays, but then changed its program to ship the full series of aligners together.\nFor many other customers, the ride is a bust.\nSeattle resident Melissa Gulick told BuzzFeed News that at the end of almost a year of treatment, the aligners have ruined her bite: Her front teeth touch before her molars can make contact. \u201cI\u2019m pretty annoyed \u2014 food is hard to chew now and they won\u2019t fix it!\u201d\nGulick said that after complaints to the company, SmileDirectClub agreed to continue treatment for free. But she had trouble getting the company to accept a new set of imprints \u2014 they\u2019ve been rejected multiple times.\nWhen asked about complaints that the trays ruined customers\u2019 bites, a SmileDirect representative told BuzzFeed News: \u201cOver 95% of our customers complete treatment and sign off on their finished new smile. It\u2019s important to remember that with any orthodontic procedure, bites will continue to shift until the treatment is finished.\u201d\nAnother customer, 24-year-old Drexel University student Kacie Durham, told BuzzFeed News that SmileDirectClub sent her a simulated treatment plan that made her teeth look worse.\n\u201cIt actually made my teeth appear more crooked at the bottom,\u201d she said. \u201cI didn\u2019t have straight teeth at the end of it.\u201d\nDurham wrote to the company, requesting a new simulation, but didn\u2019t hear back until she received a set of aligners in the mail \u2014 for the same plan she had complained about.\nDurham returned her trays and applied for a refund. Later, an orthodontist not affiliated with the company told her that her teeth would have to be filed and shaped before they could be aligned. Durham felt duped: SmileDirect had approved her for a treatment that would never have worked.\n\u201cIf a potential customer is unhappy with the 3d preview of his or her smile, there is no obligation to purchase aligners,\u201d the SmileDirectClub representative said.\nWithout a dentist to turn to with questions about the fit of their plates, or about pain when they first put them on, SmileDirectClub members turn to each other for advice.\nMinelle Tendler, a Boca Raton orthodontist, joined one of the biggest Facebook groups, the 11,800-member SmileDirectClub Support, after two of her patients asked about the product.\nIn perusing the posts that appear in her Facebook feed, Tendler said that she\u2019s not seen anyone say they\u2019ve been able to talk to a dentist at the company. \u201cPeople are asking other people who\u2019ve gone through SDC, \u2018Is this going to work for me?\u2019\u201d she said. \u201cYou\u2019re asking someone who has no dental background, \u2018Is this going to work?\u2019\u201d\nMore than once, Tendler has stopped short of replying to threads on the forum. She sits on her hands because the patients are not hers. \u201cI\u2019m looking at the photos and thinking, Oh my god, you need to get teeth taken out, don\u2019t do it.\u201d\nMostly, she is worried that people who are wooed by SmileDirectClub\u2019s low price aren\u2019t fully aware of the drawbacks of skipping a dental visit. She also doubts that most patients will see the change they want.\n\u201cIf you\u2019re not aware of the risks,\u201d she said, \u201cyou\u2019re basically flying blind here.\u201d\u25cf\nOctober 14, 2017, at 8:26 a.m.\nGrant Olson is a dentist. A previous version of this article misidentified him as an orthodontist.",

        "raw_content": "Author: Pauline Slot\nIn view of life-long learning there is a lot of attention for on-going and continuous professional development (PD) that can contribute to changing professionals\u2019 competences and behaviour. For the current purpose, professionals include a wide range of practitioners working with children and families, such as teachers, social workers, paraprofessionals and volunteers, in formal and informal settings. PD concerns all actions aimed at changing professionals\u2019 knowledge, skills, attitudes, beliefs or behaviour. Although there are abundant PD studies, there are two drawbacks in this literature. The first is that the majority of studies published in scientific journals come from Anglo-Saxon countries. Secondly, these studies do not always provide detailed information on the different components of professionalization, thus providing limited details on its key. The ISOTIS inventory aimed to address both gaps by exploring aspects of promising European PD interventions.\nBased on the inventory, we propose a new framework to view PD.\nThe outer layer situates the professional within a larger (organizational) context, which is likely to impact the effectiveness of PD. inside there are three main PD components related to the who, the what, and the how of PD.\nThe characteristics of the learners and the context are important to consider when thinking about PD. For instance, the results of the inventory showed that the majority of the programmes in the inventory could be considered as general interventions, rather than aimed at professionals working with a specific target group. In some cases the programmes were aimed at professionals working with disadvantaged children or second language learners.\nDifferent content areas can be addressed in PD. The results of the inventory showed that 69% of the interventions were specifically focused on cultural diversity, multilingualism or inclusiveness. Further, different focus domains can be distinguished, such as knowledge, skills, beliefs, and attitudes. The findings of the inventory revealed that the majority of PD interventions emphasized knowledge and skills or knowledge, skills and attitudes.\nBroadly speaking, three different types of PD strategies can be distinguished: training or courses, coaching and reflection. The inventory highlighted that the combination of all three strategies was the most common across interventions, followed by a combination of training and reflection. The preferred delivery mode was face-to-face and the PD was targeted either at an individual or at both the individual and the team level.\nThe inner circle reflects the two main processes hypothesized to change professionals\u2019 behaviour and practices. Enactment concerns the translation of newly acquired beliefs into practice and illustrates the on-going exchange between professionals\u2019 knowledge, beliefs and skills in changing actual behaviour and practices. The results of the inventory showed that the majority of PD interventions was both theory- and practice based, which could support enactment as underlying mechanism of changing professionals\u2019 practices.\nReflection is the other key facilitator of change as it allows professionals to use (daily) experiences to critically consider, (re)evaluate and reconstruct knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, skills, and behaviour. Indeed the results supported the importance of reflection, as this was part of the majority of PD interventions included in the inventory. In order to be effective, reflection needs to be critical and constructive. Moreover, there are some indications that reflection involving the team as a whole, rather than a single professional, and that incorporate a focus on attitudes besides knowledge and skills can be more effective in changing professionals\u2019 behaviour and practices.\nReflection is an important aspect of PD and should have a prominent role in professionals\u2019 (everyday) practices, as part of continuous professional development within the organisation, and in specific interventions aimed at changings professionals\u2019 knowledge, skills, beliefs, and attitudes.\nA comprehensive approach to PD involves a combination of theory and practice with interplay of face-to-face and online delivery using different PD strategies, including training, reflection and coaching, targeting professionals\u2019 knowledge, skills, beliefs and attitudes.\nOnline PD can include e-learning activities, video-based reflection, online exchange of practices and online tools for self reflection.\nThis entry was posted in Blog, English on 29 May, 2018 by vanessacfcosta.\n\u2190 Inclusive curricula and educational practices: Presenting ISOTIS work at the ISCTE-University Institute of Lisbon Tackling child poverty and social exclusion in the EU \u2192",

        "raw_content": "Takeaways from Chief Economist of Fannie Mae, Dr. Douglas Duncan\nThe following was summarized by Tom K Wilson from an event with Chief Economist of Fannie Mae, Dr. Douglas Duncan on November 2, 2017:\nIn 2 years, this will be the longest expansion\u2026ever.\nThe Fed portfolio grew from about $2 trillion pre-crisis to about $4.5 trillion post crisis. They have recently begun shrinking it. The $1.8 trillion in mortgage assets they hold came in significant part because Fannie and Freddie have been mandated to shrink their portfolios 10% per year to $250 billion maximum. We don\u2019t know who will buy and at what price as the Fed shrinks.\nMillennials are finally buying houses! This is due to the vast majority of them going to college, delaying their entry to the workforce, and their delayed family formation. Despite this, we still currently have the highest percentage of adult children living at home ever.\nBoomers have $6.5M in equity, and many are choosing to stay and remodel their current homes rather than selling, therefore contributing to the lack of inventory of homes for sale.\nReduced immigration would weaken the economy, especially in sectors that have a shortage of skilled labor. The current birth rate is 2.1 with immigration, and would be 1.9 without (less than what is needed to replace 2 parents!).\nHouse prices are appreciating at 4-5 times the national historic average. This appears to be driven by economic fundamentals rather than being a bubble. Loan requirements have increased, and the prices are largely driven by the huge supply shortage of about 500,000 homes per year.\nUS healthcare is the largest federal obligation. For there to be true national debt reform or tax reform, there needs to be healthcare reform.\nEconomic stimuli are distinct from reform. Temporary changes only change consumer behavior temporarily. Reform causes people to make permanent changes.\nPhasing in tax cuts delays action and effectiveness because consumers wait for the full benefit before acting.\nUnderstanding US interest rate movements requires attention to the combined balance sheet of the US, UK, EU and Japanese central banks. Whether they move together or not can determine where capital flows and at what yields.\nJay Powell, who Doug has met with, was nominated for Fed Chair. His background is practicing law, not being an economist; however, having managed a large hedge fund gives him a lot of financial management experience.\nThis entry was posted in Commercial Real Estate, Statistics, Updates on November 28, 2017 by ivycommeblog.\n100 Years of America\u2019s Top 10 Companies\nThis entry was posted in Statistics on November 17, 2017 by ivycommeblog.\nSwenson reveals vision for dramatic transformation of San Jose\u2019s Guadalupe River area\nhttps://www.bizjournals.com/sanjose/news/2017/11/09/exclusive-swenson-reveals-vision-for-dramatic.html\nThis entry was posted in Commercial Real Estate, South Bay/San Jose on November 9, 2017 by ivycommeblog.",

        "raw_content": "Friday feature - ashe blanco\nMainstream Hip Hop has shown that you might just need a catchy hook and some extra reverb or autotune to \"make it.\" But the underground offers a whole other perspective, one that the internet helped to democratize by bringing the artist directly to its listeners, still there is a struggle. With all the social media and technology, many independent artists seem to forget that you still need talent and strong work ethic to gain respect and an organic following in the underground. More importantly, you need that \u201cwow\u201d or \u201cx factor\u201d and for a lot of female rappers, sadly that means sex appeal. As a fellow artist, I like to see rappers that have that raw passion that simply cannot be faked. You need that drive, that fire, and if you\u2019re good enough, you\u2019ll rain ashes as well. As some of you know, I participated in Team Backpack\u2019s Live Cypher Draft at Mission Underground in Los Angeles earlier this summer. I\u2019ve already featured some of the dope female artists I met at the event including 3XTK and Ashley Banks. But today I introduce yall to one of the most unique female MC\u2019s I know- Ashe Blanco.\nAshe Blanco means \u201cwhite ash\u201d in Spanish and her name already shows her unique skill with word play. She grew up in a musically inclined family and began writing and recording raps in 2009, notably following the birth of her son. \u201cI really started pushing to pursue music as a career. Something just catapulted me to spend all of my free time networking, making new music, and talking business in terms of what my next move was going to be,\u201d says Ashe. When I met this young woman in person, I was taken back by her assertive persona and her confidence when talking to other artists and various media personnel, and rapping not only on TBP but on the many other cyphers that took place as well. We exchanged business handles and I knew she was someone I wanted to work with in the near future.\nIn 2014, Ashe entered in Funk Volume\u2019s \u201cDon\u2019t Fu[$]k Up Our Beats\u201d Season 6, an online rapping contest where rappers can upload videos of themselves rapping to beats produced by Funk Volume. She gained a decent buzz from that entry and went on to perform in more than 40 shows last year, all while building her own promotion company \u201cStay Hydrated.\u201d Due to her relentless grind efforts, she was noticed and picked up by a group of talented artists called \"Lab Life,\" and since then they\u2019ve been putting ideas together for music, media, and promotions. Check out the \u201cASHE BLANCO Presents: The 2K14 LIVE Cypher\u201d video on Youtube and you\u2019ll see that they mean business, with Ashe as the group\u2019s Alpha-Female.\nCurrently, Ashe and her team at Lab Life are putting together an acapella-styled cypher, which will drop in the next week or so. She has many videos for you watch on her Youtube channel. Take a look at her \u201cDestined\u201d music video and be on the look out for more of her projects.\n\u201cWhere there\u2019s fire, there\u2019s ashe\u2026\u201d\n- Ashe Blanco\nFriday Feature - DallahDeezo\nThere's an ancient Hawaiian tale about a demigod named Maui and the special Haleakala crater on the island of Maui, where he captured the sun in order to make the days longer. The literal Hawaiian translation for Haleakala means \"the house of the sun.\" Today, Haleakala remains a critical viewpoint to study the heavens because of its clear skies and fairly steady weather patterns. In the same manner, the island of Maui collectively with the other Hawaiian islands are a very unique place to experience Hip Hop. As Hawaii locals, our experience in Hip Hop is different because of our physical, spiritual, and historic place in the world. With that said, I introduce DallahDeezo, a young and proud local man from Maui, whose love for Hip-Hop and poetry has given him a voice that is too often overlooked. He has strong love for his island home and uses rhythm and poetry to tell his story.\nDallah Deezo has been part of the Hawaii Hip-Hop scene for over a decade. Starting in the late 90s as a teenager \"just freestyling for fun,\" he developed a passion for writing lyrics and put himself on a personal mission to share his story. Growing up in the north shore of Paia, Maui, he brings to the world authentic island Hip Hop. Take a listen to his track \"Mind On My Mission\" and you'll see/hear what I mean. Although Maui is gaining more popularity and becoming more commercially developed, there is a unique pride amongst the Maui locals that is different from the other Hawaiian islands. As a veteran in the local scene, Deezo says that \"so many artists put up a front in order to be popular and as a society, were scared to be ourselves as individuals.\"\nAside from rapping, Deezo is also an experienced beat maker and producer under the name \"Stoney Kine Beats.\" He produces many of 808 Lava Squad Mafia (LSM) 's tracks as well as his other rap duo 579Klick with his friend SamBeezy. He is the third member of LSM that I've gotten to interview and had the pleasure of meeting in person, before the group's recent gig on Oahu a few weeks ago. Deezo says that \"there is so much talent here in the islands it's ridiculous. Hawaii Hip Hop is a small movement but with more collaborating and networking with each other, our voices will continue to grow.\"\nAs stated above, Deezo has many solo and collab projects under his belt as a rapper and producer. You can check out his SoundCloud to hear more. See more of this talented local brother on the on social media (links below).\nAs an avid vinyl listener, Deezo can be seen crate surfing through old school records. Follow him on Instagram @DallahDeezoVinylExperience to see more of what he finds #TodayOnVinyl !\nAuthor Jehzan with the some of the members from 808 Lava Squad Mafia. You can read more about DizzieDazz(left) and GIM$(right) in previous Friday Features. DallahDeezo is standing at the far right.\nHumpday Update - Summer So Far (Part 2)\nWassup everyone!\nSorry I'm a little late on this Humpday Update, it was supposed to be posted yesterday but I've been busy with other things. Anyways, thank you once again to everyone who has been reading and supporting my blog! The artists I feature are truly the stars of the show and deserve all the credit for their work. I simply share their story, and it is honestly a blessing to do so. You can watch my daily whereabouts on SnapChat (Add me: Jehzan), check out my tweets, and/or watch my Lumpia Lifestyle vlogs that I've been posting for the past few months now.\nWell, summer continues to be an awesome time for me. With most of the kids in the family on summer break, it's been great spending time with my cousins and other friends and family. I've been vlogging ALOT and it's really fun but it does take some time to put together the content in a way that flows. I've released some tracks on my Soundcloud including \"YaYaYa\" (which is a remix to T-Wayne's Nasty Freestyle), \"Roll Another\" (another remix originally done by rapper Pryde), and an original called \"Zero Gravity.\" I'm continuing to write and draft up new material. But, summer will be coming to an end soon and I will need to refocus back on my schooling and jobs.\nWith that said, I will have 2 to 3 more Friday Features up on my blog. I got a dope line up of female artists and some other groups! I will have 2 more vlogs posted on my Youtube channel. All of this will be leading up to a music video for \"Roll Another\" remix, which will showcase a lot of the stuff I've been up to this summer. Other than that, I got a new Lez Talk video up for yall and I'll be performing at Bar 35 in downtown Honolulu tonight! By the way, tomorrow's Friday Feature is fellow Hawaii Hip Hop artist and my good friend DallahDeezo from the island of Maui",

        "title": "About Us \u2013 The Jewel Riders Archive",
        "raw_content": "About The Jewel Riders Archive:\nThe Jewel Riders Archive (JRA) is a not-for-profit fan site devoted to the 1995/1996 cartoon series Princess Gwenevere and the Jewel Riders (also known as Starla & The Jewel Riders). Founded in 2015 by long-time friends and fans of the show, the site went live on September 10th, 2015 \u2013 twenty years to the original air date of Jewel Quest, the first episode of the show.\nThe JRA\u2019s mission is to collect, archive, preserve, and share materials related to the show in addition to fan works with the public.\nWe update with new content on the 10th of every month!\nSend a message to the Archivists!\nChris Kanther\nI came to be a fan of Jewel Riders during its initial airing in the Fall of 1995. I distinctly remember watching \u201cJewel Quest\u201d during its first local airing on the Sunday morning \u201cAmazin\u2019 Adventures\u201d programming block (home to other shows such as Skysurfer Strike Force, Street Sharks, Ultraforce, Captain Simian and the Space Monkeys, and King Arthur and the Knights of Justice). Needless to say, I was hooked. The vaguely Arthurian setting combined with magic, gems, and cool animal friends (especially the Pack with their giant wolves!) was a recipe for success with my nine-year-old brain.The next Monday morning at school, my friends and I discussed the show, and we decided to buy a toy of one character each so we could play with them together at school. I had Drake (and later picked up a Gwen to go with him); I still own and display that Drake today. We had many adventures role-playing, drawing the characters, and watching/talking about the show. Those are very happy memories for me.\nOver the years, Ronnie and I kept our interest in the show, which led us to finding Stormy\u2019s \u201cAvalon\u201d website and all the great information and fan works contained there. As a side note, the last three episodes of the series were never broadcast in my area, and the only way Ronnie and I were ever able to see them was by writing to Stormy for a VHS copy. Despite the quality of the episode transfers, we were so delighted to finally finish the series (and realize that it has almost a proper ending \u2013 unheard of in the 90s!)\nThe Jewel Riders community on Livejournal (where I am known as ry_sabir) was also the reason I created an account there. I\u2019ve had the opportunity to meet a number of great people through this fandom, and recently took over management of the community after our founder departed their LJ account.In recent years I\u2019ve dabbled in Jewel Riders fan fiction and occasionally doodle a bit of fanart. In fact, it was thanks to Jewel Riders that I began writing again after a many-years-long dry spell. So in many ways, this is so much more than just a cartoon to me \u2013 it\u2019s where I met one of my best friends and a well from which creativity sprang back into my life.\nI write things! You can check out my personal author website at www.chriskanther.com\nRonnie Delmar\nA lifelong best friend, memorabilia that I collect to this day, countless childhood memories\u2026just how much can a fantastic show give?\nSo many wonderful days spent with Chris in front of the television, toy in hand, watching a magical adventure! I fell in love with Tamara\u2019s character. She was the best! Memories of role playing what we saw that Sunday morning on the school playground are some of my fondest. We recited entire episodes even down to reenacting the opening logos of the Family Home Entertainment videos. I wanted to be Tamara. Chris was Drake. Together we were Jewel Riders! On the search for lost jewels, using bicycles as horses, the neighborhood was an uncharted Land of Avalon filled with Wild Magic.\nLong before Legos started to brand their toys with favorite properties, Chris and I turned the medieval sets into the Jewel Riders, mixed with the Paradisa series to add some pink. There was the Royal Knight\u2019s Castle, a wizard, and even a Fright Knights Witch\u2019s Windship- the perfect Dragon Wagon for Kale!\nMy Grandpa was pretty handy with a piece of wood and saw. Together we created an entire set of wooden Enchanted Jewels, Crown Jewels and Wizard Jewels. Grandpa cut the jewels with accurate precision. Even the intricate snowflake Enchanted Jewel featured in the \u201cTrouble in Elftown\u201d episode was a perfect replica. After the jewels were cut, I used his vast selection of paints (he would paint-by-number) to color each of the jewels by hand. The coloring was matched to the show. To the Enchanted Jewels I added a special glitter paint giving them a magical sparkle. The Heart Stone was my jewel of choice, of course. Grandpa even helped me to make a wooden Crystal Carriage! Many years later, I thought I had outgrown these and threw them away when I moved from home; juvenile stupidity. I urge anyone out there who may be thinking about throwing something away. You will regret it. Don\u2019t do it! So many things my 19 year-old self thought I wouldn\u2019t miss\u2026hello, eBay! These are irreplaceable though. At least I had the good sense not to throw away my recorded VHS.\nBefore Princess Gwenevere and the Jewel Riders, I had an Ariel doll and some Barbies, this was just something else to fuel the fire making my Stepdad not wanting me to have \u201cgirl\u201d toys. To be able to have my first Jewel Riders toy, Chris and I came up with a story in which I was to buy Tamara for a classmate. Needless to say, she never got her doll. So Tamara became the first of my Princess Gwenevere and the Jewel Riders collection. Later at a local drugstore I found the complete line of Jewel Riders makeup. Mom definitely wouldn\u2019t let me get those. But I was able to convince her of buying the hairbrush for my sister. After about a week my little sister agreed to let me have it. It was during the summer, when I would visit my Dad, that I got the entire line of dolls. Sun Power Gwenevere and Sunstar were definitely the hardest of the toys to find- this was before online shopping. We finally found the two out-of-state on a road trip! Not long after the shows run, my Stepdad took away all of my Princess Gwenevere and the Jewel Riders collection and locked it up in a spare room\u2026in The Office. It became a graveyard for my fondest possessions, a place littered with toys, childhood memories, and all things I held dear simply because they were branded as \u201cfor girls\u201d. But as it usually happens, when you are kept from something, you want it that much more! Away from home, Grandma\u2019s house became a refuge, a place to hide away my secret collection of new assorted dolls, books, movies and among them were the Jewel Riders! I was able to recover most items from The Office, but not all. I kept these in a living room closet. Perhaps a combination of fear and adrenaline was that the closet holding all of my possessions was just a few feet away from anyone visiting my Grandma\u2019s house; it was so close to the ones who had locked the same items up in the first place. But my collection remained a safe-guarded secret.\nSometime later, the show re-aired on network television\u2026as the first airing of the day. To catch the adventures I would get up at 5 A.M., or some ridiculous time like that. With the re-airing came a renewed interest in the show for Chris and me. We began to doodle once again in class, talk about the show on the track, and look up pages like Stormy\u2019s Avalon website; it became an obsession. I even brought the toys to school. It was right around this time that online purchases were being made possible. My Dad surprised me one summer with a Christmas in July filled with Jewel Riders presents: a sound book, sleeping bag, dolls, videos, and much more! Thanks to Dad my collection began to grow.\nYears later, Chris and I began to talk about the show once again. It was just after the then 10th anniversary. I brought out my dusty collection of VHS and started digitally converting the show. \u201cJump in the Ring, when destiny calls\u2026\u201d For the next ten years Chris and I renewed childhood bonds, rediscovered Princess Gwenevere and the Jewel Riders and began to discuss our ideas for a dedicated Archive.\nThe next 10 years went by quickly. In-between I had converted all of the video sources, together we had scanned many images, increased our collections, and finally felt ready to begin the next chapter of our friendship: The Jewel Riders Archive!\nFor most of my life I have loved Princess Gwenevere and the Jewel Riders. As you now see, it is more than just a television series from 1995. It is a story of heartache, dedication, triumph and dreams come true.\u201dFriends Together, Friends Forever\u201d",

Although leasing activity remained strong, demand dipped substantially in comparison to the second and third quarters. Tenants continued to look toward the off-island suburbs however, the renewed demand for manufactured goods allowed for the absorption of older blocks of space with less clear height on the Island of Montr\u00e9al.

        "raw_content": "You are here: Home / Daily Blog / Revisiting my earliest weight training workouts.\nRevisiting my earliest weight training workouts.\nWednesday, October 11, 2006 by John Stone\nOver the past couple of days we\u2019ve been talking about leg workouts (among other things) in my media journal, and the subject of squats and lunges came up. I recalled that I did squats and lunges back on my very first weight training workout, and that\u2019s sort of true: I did do squats, and I tried to follow them up with bodyweight lunges, but I could not complete a single rep. I was so out of shape and my legs were so weak (and exhausted from the squats) that they buckled and gave out on me on the very first rep. In the middle of that first lunge I literally collapsed into a blubbery, winded heap on the floor.\nI distinctly remember lying on the floor trying to catch my breath and muster the strength to stand back up. While I was on the floor I remember thinking that what I was trying to accomplish was next to impossible. I could have easily given up \u2013 believe me, the temptation was there \u2013 but I did not give up. No, I stood back up and tried to lunge again. Again I fell down, and I felt embarrassed and disgusted. Then I felt something new: anger. I was pissed! Pissed off that I had become so weak and pathetic. Pissed off that I looked and felt like an old man at just 34 years old. Pissed off that I had neglected my body and my health for so many years. Pissed off that I felt fat and ugly\u2026 I channeled that rage into motivation and desire. That was a pivotal moment in my life. The easy thing to do would have been to grab a beer and get comfortable on the sofa, but I refused to back down. My life from that moment on was changed forever.\nWe all have to start somewhere. I don\u2019t care how out of shape you are. I don\u2019t care how fat you are: you do what we all do \u2013 take one step, then another. When you fall, you get your ass back up. If you move towards your goals with relentless drive and determination you will get there.",

        "raw_content": "This past weekend I had the surreal experience of wandering around bumping into things while a film crew descended on my parent's house to shoot TWO FOR TEA. It's a southern-gothicky short film I wrote that tells the story of an older, retired teacher named Gerta Meier who has watched her family come apart one strand at a time, and now will do whatever it takes to hold onto the only thread she has left - her grandson.\nAnd but so anyways, the one question I got asked a lot was how it felt to watch as that crew recorded three highly gifted, professional actors playing the parts that I had written for them.\nI had no good answer - in part because what I was feeling, most of the time, was not worth mentioning. Rationally, I knew that what I was experiencing was a great honor - a consummation, as they say, devoutly to be wished. But somehow there was also a little death in it... that post-Olympics feel that athletes sometimes get after the games are over. A feeling where, win or lose, they end up being depressed for weeks.\nOr maybe it was something more. Maybe it was yet another example of that thing Steven Pressfield called \"The Resistance,\" that ugly force always lurking around, trying to crush the courage of anybody attempting to do the insane thing we call Making Art. It is the voice in my head that says, \"This isn't going to work. I'm not good enough. I'm kind of a fraud, and no matter how many people affirm me in my creative path, the truth is that it's my detractors who are right. My scripts are boring and un-inspired. My stories are lifeless.\"\nNotice anything about that voice?\nThat's absolutely right - it's first-person (good catch). The Resistance is me. It's my amygdala or whatever, telling me that creative risks will expose me to things like saber-tooth tigers and club-wielding thugs from that other tribe over the hill.\nThe Resistance is me, and it is a liar.\nSo today, instead, I think I'm going to try to tell a little bit of the truth:\nI am a good writer. I write a lot of bad, useless stuff. But when I really apply myself, I can write (and have written) a lot of clear, clean prose. I have written stories that have moved people to tears, and I have written scripts that have made people laugh. I have hinted at truths that other people feel but don't know how to say, and in doing so have given a voice to what is often voiceless.\nI work hard, and sometimes I even work well. But I am not my work, and my work is not the most important thing about me. The most important thing about me is people: people I love, and people who love me back.\nThere are many, many writers who are smarter than I - who know more words and use them in more clever ways. There are writers whose words dig down to deeper truths more often and more clearly than I have ever done. But they are not me. They were not born in the southern United States and raised in the Amazon basin of Peru, South America. They didn't muddle their way through an English degree in British Columbia, nor pay for it by becoming very good planters of trees.\nThey didn't work their way through the ranks to become crew leaders and camp supervisors of the most wonderful, hardworking crews of tree planters that have ever bled and sweated through too many summers of too-hard manual labor.\nThey didn't marry who I married, or have the son I had, or suffer through my divorce.\nThey didn't teach high school art to those kids at that school, and love them even though it hurt to the point of pissing off the establishment and losing their jobs. They didn't leave with a big smile and an open heart to take a risk on investing in me. They didn't meet the mentors and fellow-artists who loved my work and encouraged me.\nThose other, better writers don't have the one thing I have more of than anyone else in the world: ME.\nSo I will take what I have and do what only I can do, and because of it I will make the things that only I can make. Some of them will not work well - will not connect or communicate in the way I had hoped for them. Sometimes this will be because I was not able to do my best with them, but sometimes it will just be because the audience did not yet exist for what I felt I needed to say.\nMy job is not to receive, it is to give. My art is my service to the world, and I will not value it based on affirmation or acclaim. I am here to roll around in the beauty of Making - to cry and bleed myself all over a page or canvas or screen so that other people can have that gift of feeling known, understood, and perhaps even loved.\nI am a good writer.\nI am a good painter, and a good poet, and a good singer, and good father.\nI will strive to be better at those things, but my goal is not to become the best so as to \"beat\" anyone else. My goal is to become more fully me. To become the creator I was born to be - the Maker that is made through and in the Creative Act.\nLife is so beautiful - such an endless treasure - and I am gifted with SO much. So I will rejoice and be glad in it. I will sing full-throated the Song of Myself, even when I feel like doing that or even writing a fru-fru little phrase like \"sing full-throated the Song of Myself\" exposes me too, too much.\nI will say thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone and everything and to the God I do not understand.\nI will make more Art.\nDaniel W. Sorensen May 21, 2014 at 1:29 PM\nAnd so will I. Thank you.\nJOSH BARKEY May 21, 2014 at 4:44 PM\nGiver shiver. :-)\nYou're welcome, even though it should be I who is thanking you, Josh. This post resonates with me quite deeply; I get it. :-)\nGood to hear, Mark. Make stuff!",

        "raw_content": "Words. Literature. Writing. Ways of expressing yourself, ways of showing the world who you are and what you think. The way in which we communicate. Communicate anything to anyone. People often take words for granted, don\u2019t appreciate their importance. But without them, so much would be lost to us. They preserve memories, express opinions, create whole new worlds and ideas. People might say studying literature is a waste of time, that it has no use in the real world. But it allows us to understand that world. Fiction can be a means of escapism, but it teaches us life lessons, about people and experiences, about different ways of understanding the world. It stimulates us, presents new ideas, makes us question what we know and take for granted. Fiction, or any form of writing, is a way to express oneself, to give opinions on anything they choose \u2013 look at what I\u2019m doing right now. Words allow us to be as blunt and straight-to-the-point as we choose, or adapt language, use subtle allegories and irony to express opinions that would otherwise be harshly judged. Words should be carefully and delicately chosen, as they can present an entirely different meaning through a tiny change in a single sentence. They carry great power and provide insight and understanding. Words are a way of showing the beauty of the world, and are a thing of beauty in themselves. They can take us to far-off lands, a means of escaping the mundane real world, or show us the beauty and magic within our own lives. Words let us tell the world who we are. And everyone has something to say. Not everyone may care or like what you have to say, but say it anyway. Because what you say matters. You don\u2019t have to be an expert in literature or language or anything at all to say something important. Those same words we use daily, to say hello or order coffee, only have to be changed around marginally to express something far greater. Even if you don\u2019t think what you have to say matters, it does, because it tells the world who you are. Words give us that power, to communicate, to learn, to know, to experience and to remember.\nI believe the music people listen to can tell you a lot about them, who they are, who they want to be, who they perceive their self as or who they think others perceive them as. In particular, the lyrics show a lot of characteristics and traits. They may have been written by someone else, but lyrics resonate with people, reaching out to them through shared experiences and emotions. These are just some of my favourite lyrics. There\u2019s probably a lot more that I like, I just can\u2019t remember them all right now. I\u2019m not sure what all of them say about me, so take from them what you will.\nThis is the anthem for a dying breed\nCaught up to realise that I\u2019ve been left behind\nHolding on to promises and trusting a few\nTell me how to feel like we did when we were young\nThese lessons that we learned here have only just begun\nTime to give them what they\u2019re waiting for\nWe\u2019re just trying to find some colour in this black and white world\nWe are lovers lost in space\nShe had the most amazing smile\nYou never got to heaven but you got real close\nI\u2019m the option you shouldn\u2019t have chosen\nLife\u2019s a bitch but I\u2019m friends with her sister\nI smile at all my enemies; I lead a life of positivity\nI\u2019m married to the music, for better or for worse\nI believe in the finer things and you don\u2019t believe in me\nWe are just the sinners, we\u2019re condemned to death\nYou can\u2019t edit me\nYou won\u2019t get better than me\nYou were fake, I was great \u2013 nothing personal\nThe taste of your lips says we shouldn\u2019t have met like this\nWe try to run away but end up running back\nWhen you sold me out I must have not got the cheque\nDon\u2019t hold your breath; I\u2019m not losing sleep over you\nGood luck with killing time, you won\u2019t be killing mine\nI\u2019d rather be anywhere but here without you\nI\u2019ve got real big plans and such bad thoughts\nThey\u2019re gonna miss me when I\u2019m dead and gone; they\u2019re gonna talk about me over and over and over\nIt\u2019s not called lazy it\u2019s called an art\nI\u2019ll never know divinity; so inadequately I write in meter and verse\nTongue like electric, eyes like a child\nYoung and in love; that should be enough\nGo back to anything, cos I know you\u2019ll think of me\nThree whole words and eight letters late\nMaybe it\u2019s not my weekend but it\u2019s gonna be my year\nI\u2019m over getting older\nThis is my reaction to everything I feel\nWhen it all comes down to a sunrise on the east side, will you be there to carry me home?\nWe ran like vampires from a thousand burning suns\nWe raced the sunset and we almost won\nThe surface shines while the inside rots\nI\u2019ll be your shelter, I\u2019ll be your storm\nBring on the rain, and bring on the thunder\nYou can be the distance in between; you can be everything I need\nJealous minds are thinking alike, but you\u2019re my damn damn tie wasting all my time; you are in love\nThrow it away, forget yesterday; we\u2019ll make the great escape\nThe answers that we\u2019ll never find; they don\u2019t mean a thing tonight\nEverybody knows there\u2019s a party at the end of the world\nI haven\u2019t made my bed for weeks and I\u2019m not gonna get up\nIf we stand for nothing, we\u2019ll fall for anything\nI\u2019ll do my best to always be on your mind\nNo one is looking for you anymore cos that was us\nWe\u2019ll be the leaders of a messed-up generation\nWe\u2019ll still be dancing when we\u2019re old and we\u2019re grey\nYou\u2019re not on my list of things to do, cos I\u2019ve already done you\nYour favourite enemy and your most hated friend\nWhere\u2019s your passion? Where\u2019s your fire tonight?\nI\u2019m gonna start a revolution of convoluted disillusions\nSometimes fate and your dreams can collide\nYou\u2019re just a daydream away\nIt was your world baby and I just lived in it\nIn the end we all know we only breathe for so long\n1 comment Music\nHe takes a deep breath and jumps around on the spot, loosening off one final time. They are waiting for him, chanting and screaming. It escalates as the other band members step out. Finally it\u2019s his turn.\nHe walks out, straight to centre stage, heart pounding in anticipation. The crowd cheer and wave, their long hours of waiting, in queues and in the crowd finally having paid off. The stage around him is still in darkness, only dimly lit from behind so their silhouettes are visible. He shakes off again, trying to rid himself of the nerves.\nAround him, the music starts, the other guys playing the familiar notes and rhythms which reassure him. He joins in with his lyrics, on cue, his own voice sounding low and raspy, mingling with the instrumental. He can hear the crowd singing along, words memorised, and a rush of wonder and gratitude surges through him. Words that he scribbled on scraps of paper, personal and carefully chosen, full of meaning to him \u2013 yet the meaning resonates with others, who find solace in his words. The words he chose being sung back to him by hundreds of people, people he has never met, yet share a common bond with him.\nThe music fades off as the verse ends \u2013 then the climax comes, exploding in sound and light as the chorus kicks off, violent and powerful. The stage is bright and colourful, pyrotechnics blasting around them all. The crowd is like one single entity, jumping and moving to the beat, arms waving, voices shouting; a beast, both tamed by the music, yet wild, free and inspired by it. He has been part of that entity before, at other concerts, but seeing it from the stage gives it a whole new dimension. In the crowd, you are taken over by the music, absorbing every moment, feeling the rush of awe as the artists you admire perform right in front of you. But to be those artists, to know everyone in that crowd was here to see you, was incredibly humbling. They were nothing without the crowds of fans, and giving them shows was the least they could do \u2013 but seeing their expressions, the joy, the wonder, the passion \u2013 it was enough to make him just as awestruck as they appeared to be. The bond between them was unusual \u2013 both band and crowd having the exact same feelings of awe and gratitude towards each other.\nAs the set continues, his feels his nerves melt away, losing himself to the music, feeding off the crowd\u2019s energy. Everything they give him, he strives to give back, pouring heart and passion into the whole performance. Despite being above and apart from the crowd physically, he feels as though he is just as much part of that wild entity as any of them, getting shivers during the slower parts, chest wanting to explode with power at the climaxes. All the while he feels entirely awestruck that their music, notes and words they strung together, has created this event, these shared moments, that feeling of being a part of something greater than one\u2019s self. This was the reason he loved music so much, and was so thrilled to be able to bring these feelings to other people. These are the moments he will forever remember, the moments in which he felt most alive.\nLeave a Comment Fiction\nA long, narrow passageway stretched out in front of her, disappearing into the darkness of the night. She raised her candle higher and slowly shuffled forward, while demonic shadows danced on the walls around her. She hated the flickering flame, but she didn\u2019t have a torch and didn\u2019t dare turn on the lights. The rain lashed down on the crumbling walls outside and the dusty, cracked windowpanes let in flashes of light occasionally as bolts of lightning shot across the otherwise impenetrable black of the night sky. Suddenly, there was a loud, unearthly cawing noise and she jumped back, stumbling into an ancient, musty tapestry hanging on the wall. In her bare feet, she felt something cold and moist on the ground. She looked down to see a dark red pool of blood seeping through the carpet, oozing out from under the tapestry. She turned to look at it, and saw it was richly embroidered with grotesque images of demons, witches and vampires, and the corpses of their prey, but the heavy material was faded with age. Slowly, she raised a trembling hand to pull the material aside, brushing away layers of cobwebs as she did. Behind it was a small wooden door, scratched and faded like the tapestry. It was simple, apart from a large carving of a monstrous demon\u2019s face in the centre, which seemed to be staring straight at her.\nHer hand hesitated for a brief moment, but then recklessness got the better of her and she grasped the heavy, brass doorknob firmly. As her fingers made contact, the eyes of the demonic face glowed a bright, sinister red. She froze, both stunned and terrified at once. She couldn\u2019t move from the spot or take her hand off the handle. She stared up, wide-eyed, at the face for what seemed like hours, when suddenly she heard a high-pitched scream from behind her. She made a snap decision, turned the handle and rushed through the door into the chamber beyond it \u2013 and immediately regretted her decision when she heard the door lock itself behind her.\nShe took several deep breaths to steady herself, before looking at her surroundings. She was in a narrow stone passageway, which was empty aside from a few burnt-out torch brackets on the wall and cobwebs littering the walls and floor. The flagstones were freezing under her feet, compared to the carpet in the corridor she had been in. Looking down, she could see the passage sloped upwards slightly and a river of blood was running down towards her, where it disappeared under the door. She was trembling with the cold and the fear she felt. She had no idea how to get back to her room, but with the door locked she could only go one way. With another breath, she began to make her way along the passage. Her flickering candle was considerably smaller than it had been, and her heart leapt at the thought of being left in this passage in the dark.\nThe passage wasn\u2019t as long as she had expected, and soon she found herself in a large room. However, there didn\u2019t seem to be a door anywhere, and the room was filled with various objects, the likes of which she had never seen before. The walls were ornamented with carvings of faces similar to the one on the door, but these ones were covered in gold leaf and their eyes were glowing jewels. A huge circular carpet lay on the floor, patterned with strange, mystical symbols and images, which could also be seen on the spines of a towering stack of huge, leather-bound, dusty books. A single skylight could be seen in the centre of the ceiling, alerting her to the fact that the storm had let up, as the full moon was directly over the skylight, and bathed the room in a cold, silver light. At the far end of the room was a large, ornately-carved wooden display case, and through the dusty, cracked glass, she could make out dozens of bottles and vials filled with various liquids, although the majority were a rich, dark red. Also attached the walls, were several sets of strong chains, which looked surprisingly well-kept and oiled, and had enormous gold padlocks on them. In the centre of the room, directly under the skylight, was a long rectangular table, which was placed over a rectangle on the carpet, exactly the same size as it. The table had leather straps with large, silver buckles attached to it, but more disturbing were the objects littering the table. Her eyes widened at the sight of dozens of sharp silver tools \u2013 knives, hooks, drills, needles and many others she couldn\u2019t find names for \u2013 and every last one was dripping with blood. She shivered involuntarily, and her mind ran wild, coming up with dozens of explanations for what she was seeing.\nBefore she could do anything else, however, she heard the same unearthly cawing as she had in the corridor, what seemed like hours ago. She leapt in fright and stumbled over on to the edge of the thick carpet. Her candle fell from hand and went out immediately. Trembling all over, she slowly sat up, and in the moonlight she saw that she had dislodged the carpet slightly and part of a trapdoor was now visible. It was, like most things in the room, coated with dust, but she could make out dark red stains in the wood, that could only be one thing. She recoiled in disgust at first, but as she looked around the room again, she realised it may her only way out of this ghastly place she had discovered. Slowly and clumsily, she pulled the carpet out of the way and slid back the large, metal bolts, which were, like the chains, slick and well-oiled. She heaved the door up and carefully leaned over to look down. She gasped in horror \u2013 below the door were two scarred and tortured corpses, lying on a bed of hundreds of blood-stained bones and skulls. She glanced up at the table and its terrifying instruments again, before gagging several times as the room swam in front of her eyes. She opened her mouth to scream, but no sound came out as she collapsed on the floor and darkness engulfed the world around her.\nThe innocence of children is beautiful to behold. Their way of seeing the world as the magical place it really is. Miracles happen every day, but our cynicism causes us to take them for granted. Children are awed by things we consider ordinary and mundane. For them, everything is easy, and good things don\u2019t always come with a price. They see a world full of kindness and happiness, love and beauty. And their minds work in beautiful ways, finding the little things funny and being pleased by the simplest of gifts. They soak everything in, learning at an extraordinary pace, with imaginations that run rampant and wild. A cardboard box becomes a rocket to the moon, or a pirate ship sailing the seas. Riding a bike starts as a challenge to stay balanced, but eventually turns into a heated drag race through a desert. The stairs can be an expedition to a mountain top, or a slide over rough terrain. Fairies live at the bottom of the garden and Santa still leaves the Christmas presents. Childhood is a precious time, which most don\u2019t appreciate until the day when they wish they could go back to it.\nSomewhere along the line, the real world gets to them, turning them insecure and cynical. The time to play is over, and they are expected to work hard and grow up. They become selfish, jealous and greedy, often without realising or wanting to. The world forces them to change, to become like everyone else. Doubts creep in, confidence wavers, and imagination is stunted. They are exposed to corruption, deceit and violence. Pressure mounts to succeed in school and work. They struggle to fit in with the peers, encouraged to try drugs and sex, scorned if they don\u2019t. Appearances mean everything. A night with friends is considered a waste if alcohol isn\u2019t involved. Money and politics are the biggest players, driving every other desire. Their naivety is stripped away as they discover the real world, the world of the grown-ups. The fantasies of childhood become a distant memory, revisited only in those dazed hours between sleeping and awake, or when looking through old photos and mementos.\nChildren, especially when they get to their teens, are always looking to grow up, believing they will find freedom and independence as adults. But the real world is a terrifying place, and once you get there, you\u2019ll wish you could go back.\nIs It Possible To Live In The Moment?\nLiving in the moment seems to be one of these things that everyone wishes they could do, but in actuality is very difficult. It only seems to happen in movies, when you come across those care-free characters, who are wild and crazy and just take every second as it comes. I\u2019ve never yet met someone like that in real life. No matter how hard we try, I think everyone thinks about other times, whether it be past or future.\nI\u2019m not saying there\u2019s anything wrong with doing this sometimes. We can go back to revisit fond memories or dream about our hopes for the future. But this isn\u2019t always the case. More often than not, I find myself dwelling in the past, whether it be bad experiences I wish I could change, or times that seem much better than what is happening in my present life. I often wish I could go back to early childhood, when the world seemed so much simpler, and adulthood was a million years away.\nNow I supposedly am an adult, and it scares the hell out of me. I plan and analyse things a lot, and not having a plan for my future is kind of terrifying. I\u2019ve never dreamt much about my future in career terms \u2013 not once in my life, not even as a young child, have I had an answer to what I want to do when I grow up. And now \u2018grown up\u2019 is pretty much here. Yes, I still have three more years at university, but if first year was anything to go by, I\u2019ll be done before I know it. The future stresses me out because of this. I had to make decisions about what to do next when I left school, but university seemed to be a natural progression (it\u2019s not for everyone, but it was definitely the right choice for me). After that, I guess the next step is job. But I can\u2019t even get a summer job right now, and I have no idea what I want to do as a career. The other problem is that with the current job market I may just have to take what I can get, not necessarily what I want.\nSometimes I have little dreams or ideas, but it\u2019s usually about things that I could never ever achieve. And yes, people will say \u2018but you should always chase your dreams\u2019, but you also have to be realistic. These fantasies are things I have no skills for or are incredibly hard to get into, and I know I\u2019m definitely not good enough.\nActually, sometimes my stressing about the future doesn\u2019t even go that far forward. I\u2019m worried about just finishing my degree right now, since I hate French and don\u2019t feel like I\u2019ve improved at all this year. They expect near fluency at the end, and everyone says the year abroad will help, but I can\u2019t help but wonder what if it doesn\u2019t? What if I just can\u2019t pick the language up? This is probably silly, as everyone picks it up, but I\u2019m a natural worrier.\nI have been trying to take some steps forward lately. I haven\u2019t been able to get a summer job, but I am going to do a course that lets me teach English as a foreign language, and get a first aid qualification. I love children, and I tried to work at a summer camp this year, so hopefully these would help for applications next year. I\u2019m also considering doing a year\u2019s teacher training at the end of my degree, which is very ironic since teaching is the one career I spent year saying I didn\u2019t want to do, and it\u2019s one of the few things I\u2019m considering at the moment!\nThe only part of the future I do dream about is more my personal life, as I\u2019m pretty certain I\u2019d like to get married and have children. The only problem with all this is that I\u2019ve never had a boyfriend. I\u2019ve kissed and had a good time with a few guys, but never a real relationship. I know I\u2019m only eighteen and I\u2019ve got plenty of time for this, but it\u2019s the only part of my future I have some sort of plan for, yet it\u2019s the one thing I currently am making no progress towards. A degree leading towards an unknown career and no progress towards my one dream? I\u2019m clearly doing well at life.\nBut in many ways I am. A degree should stand me in good stead for a lot of potential jobs when I do decide. I may not have found love yet, but I have my family and friends. I have my health, I\u2019ve never experienced any major tragedy and my family isn\u2019t rich, but we get by. And lots of people don\u2019t know what sort of career they want at eighteen. So although I do dwell on the past and worry about the future, my lack of plans actually means I just have to take life as it comes, one day at a time. Perhaps, entirely unintentionally and without trying to, I am living in the moment, as a result of my poor decision making skills.\nAnd I guess all of this is why I called this blog \u2018Just Muddling Through Life\u2019. I don\u2019t know what will happen to me in life, and I\u2019m just trying to get by. I want to enjoy life and be happy, and I wish I didn\u2019t stress so much and feel the need to plan. I suppose it\u2019s a part of my personality that I can\u2019t really change, but sometimes it\u2019s good to remind myself that I can\u2019t control everything, and it\u2019s ok to not always have a plan. I have to reassure myself that it\u2019s ok to just muddle through life, since that\u2019s what I\u2019m doing anyway.\nActually what I\u2019ve just realised is that in some ways I am someone living in the moment, because I don\u2019t plan far ahead. But because of my personality, I can\u2019t fully enjoy it, as I\u2019m always worrying about this lack of plans. Oh, irony, how cruel are you?\nA Rambling Train of Thoughts\nSo my brain is telling me that I had an excellent idea for something to write about. Except this idea is now several days old and I have no clue what it was now. I am merely rambling on, making no real point in the hopes of remembering said idea. I\u2019m not getting on very well so far. I\u2019m pretty sure it was nothing to do with a concrete scenario, more an abstract thought.\nIt might have been connected to the human desire to be desired, or that could be something entirely new I came up with just now. Either way, it may be worth writing about too.\nIt also may be a short story or a piece of fiction, but not one I\u2019ve already done. But I don\u2019t know what it was going to be about.\nFor some reason my mind also keeps jumping back to One Tree Hill. This may be because I\u2019ve spent the last month watching the entire first 3 seasons (and I\u2019m still going on the fourth), but I think what I\u2019m doing is similar to stuff like Lucas\u2019 writing and Peyton\u2019s podcasts. And yes, I realise how sad this entire paragraph just sounded.\nI\u2019m intending on continuing the fantasy story I\u2019ve been trying to write for about 2 years now, but every time I go back to it, I feel like it\u2019s overdone and generally not that good. Which would be why I haven\u2019t even finished the first chapter. But I do have an entire plot outline, which I really can\u2019t be bothered to re-do. But I feel like it\u2019s predictable and a bit silly in places. So I\u2019m not really sure what to do with it.\nThere\u2019s also the fairy-tale thing I started, but I\u2019ll probably go back to the start of that because the narrative voice is pissing me off no end right now. It also sounds really unrealistic and clich\u00e9d, but that\u2019s kind of its point, so I need to just make myself go with it.\nBut none of this is helping me remember the idea that I\u2019m trying to remember right now. My lack of future plans maybe? Leading to a larger thing on the point/meaning of life?\nMaybe it doesn\u2019t matter too much if I don\u2019t get that idea back. But maybe it\u2019s important to write more down. It\u2019s one of those things that I always try to do but it never lasts very long, then I always wish I\u2019d kept it up. So maybe now I should try harder to do that. Not everything I write down is going to be any good, but maybe the more I write the better the chances are that once in a while something halfway decent will come out. I guess the point is just to write, and not plan absolutely everything in advance. I mean, if I do want to write a long story, or something resembling a novel, I\u2019d have to plan, but I could just write anything in between, I don\u2019t have to do that, and that alone. Sort of like I\u2019m doing now.\nDiaries never lasted long with me, because a lot of the time my day to day life didn\u2019t hold anything of great importance. But now I\u2019m starting to think maybe it does, just not in the way I thought before. I always wrote down what I did, but maybe sometimes I should be focussing on how I did it or what I thought. There\u2019s not much exciting about cleaning windows or watching TV, but sometimes your mind goes places without you really trying, and maybe that\u2019s worth remembering. I guess that\u2019s why I switched to a journal sort of thing, but it\u2019s mostly photos, lyrics and significant memories of big events, including mementos like tickets. Which is fine, I\u2019ll be glad I have it one day, but it doesn\u2019t always capture my thoughts either.\nSo maybe I should just sit and do this now and again, just write down whatever is going through my head. Maybe a spark of genius will pop out one day. Unlikely, but it might be worth a shot. Every time I decide to write a blog post I pick a specific topic and plan it and make sure it\u2019s going to be a certain length. But maybe I don\u2019t have to. Maybe it\u2019s better just to start writing spontaneously, and see what happens, then post it anyway. I\u2019ve no idea who reads this, or if they care at all. So maybe it doesn\u2019t matter what I write, as long as it\u2019s honest and means something to me, even it\u2019s not some great literary work.\nSo I\u2019ve just unfolded an entire thought process that started with trying to remember an idea, and finished up with committing to writing more, regardless of what I actually end up writing. Which I guess is better in some ways. Thousands of ideas are lost or forgotten all the time, and I\u2019ve just added one more to that unknown list. But at least now I\u2019m doing something a bit more worthwhile with my time, by writing it all down and preserving my thoughts, no matter how odd or insignificant they may seem, so that hopefully if a good idea does come out of it all, I won\u2019t miss it this time.\nOr maybe I\u2019ll just spend forever rambling about nothing in particular. Only time, and writing it down, will tell.\nThe city was coated in a blanket of white, and the stars watched over on that most special night. Slow streams of traffic trickled out of the city centre in all directions, as people desperately tried to get home. Others hurried through the streets, sliding on the grimy sheets of ice, as their breath misted in front of their faces, obscuring their vision. The city lights were even brighter than usual, as the halogen glow of street lamps were joined by snowflakes, Santas, trees and reindeer depicted in every colour of flashing bulb. Amongst the honking of car horns and the shouts of children in the street, carollers could be heard, as they tried to spread a bit of cheer, despite the bitingly cold air. Somewhere in the dreary inner city, surrounded by many near-identical others, was a tall block of tenements. Simple, plain, grey with snowy white trimmings and lights burning brightly in the windows - nothing distinguished this block from the others, but it was here that a group of quite different inhabitants spent their Christmas Eve\u2026\nOn the ground floor, the first home was lavishly decorated. Tinsel adorned the pictures on the walls and various Christmas ornaments were arranged around the living room. In the corner was a small but cheery Christmas tree, with mismatched decorations and topped with a pretty angel statue. Hanging from the mantelpiece, above a crackling fire, was a small stocking. The owner of this stocking, a small boy of about five, came hurrying into the room from the kitchen, dressed in his pyjamas and carrying a glass of milk, which he carefully placed next to a plate of mince pies on the table by the fireplace. Glancing over his shoulder to check his parents were still in the kitchen, he then tiptoed over to the pile of shiny, carefully wrapped presents under the tree. He picked up a present with his name on it and began feeling it all over, poking and prodding in an attempt to guess what was inside it.\nThe young boy jumped and abruptly dropped the parcel at the sound of his mother\u2019s voice, and turned to find her looking at him sternly. She glared for a few moments before breaking into a smile and dashing across the room to pick him up and dump him, giggling, on the sofa, where she collapsed beside him.\n\u201cWhat have I told you about the presents? You have to wait until tomorrow!\u201d she said, wagging a finger in his face.\n\u201cShe\u2019s right,\u201d continued Jake\u2019s father, smiling as he joined them on the sofa, \u201cYou know it\u2019s not too late for Santa to change his list.\u201d\n\u201cToo excited!\u201d giggled Jake, squirming around in between his parents, \u201cI wish Santa would come right now!\u201d\n\u201cI know kiddo,\u201d said his father, ruffling Jake\u2019s hair, \u201cbut he won\u2019t come unless you\u2019re asleep. Speaking of which, I do believe it\u2019s past your bedtime.\u201d\n\u201cNo,\u201d whined Jake, looking up at his father with wide, pleading eyes.\n\u201cYes, off you go. If you\u2019re asleep, tomorrow will come even faster!\u201d smiled his mother, before kissing him goodnight. Before Jake could protest further, his father scooped him up and over his shoulder and carried him, giggling again, off to his bedroom. His mother shook her head, still smiling at her two boys. Then she remembered the package that had been delivered earlier that day, which she quickly collected from the kitchen and took with her as she left the flat and rang the bell of the one opposite theirs. A young woman, about the same age as her answered the door.\n\u201cSorry to disturb you, but this was delivered to our flat by mistake.\u201d\n\u201cOh, thank you for bringing it over,\u201d replied the other woman, taking the package, \u201cwell, have a happy Christmas.\u201d\n\u201cYou too,\u201d said the young mother, smiling politely as the door was shut and she hastily returned to her own home. The encounter was brief, but civil, as the neighbours had little to do with each other.\nThe other woman closed the door and looked at the package briefly before setting it down and returning to her dinner party.\n\u201cHey Liz, who was that?\u201d called out one of her friends from the far end of the table, over the top of the other conversations taking place.\n\u201cJust a neighbour dropping something off,\u201d Liz answered casually. She made her way back to her seat around the table, thinking how pleasant it was to have a sophisticated dinner with her friends from the office on Christmas Eve. Like her neighbours, she had decorated her flat, but it was all carefully planned, using only carefully chosen sets of tasteful ornaments that all matched and complimented each other, and a fake tree to avoid the unnecessary mess a real one would make on her perfectly white carpet. The dinner was accompanied by quiet background music and scented candles. Liz sipped on her wine and smiled to herself.\n\u201cSo, what are your plans for tomorrow Liz?\u201d asked Steven from across the table.\nShe tried hard not to blush \u2013 he was very good-looking \u2013 as she replied, \u201cOh, I have to go visit my family. I\u2019d rather not, but I did promise my mother. What about you?\u201d she continued, trying to steer the conversation away from her relatives.\n\u201cThe same, though I\u2019m rather looking forward to it. Why aren\u2019t you?\u201d\n\u201cWell, um\u2026\u201d Liz blushed more as she fumbled for an explanation, \u201cthey\u2019re all quite\u2026 different from me. I mean, the whole day will be noisy and messy and, just, chaotic. Not really me you know.\u201d\n\u201cAh, I see,\u201d Steven grinned, glancing around her pristine, white flat. Liz smiled back, somewhat nervously. The truth was she just didn\u2019t like her family. They were far worse than she made them out to be, and in her group of friends, she felt ashamed of them. The group of them at the dinner party all worked in the same office, and though none came from particularly well-off backgrounds, they were all doing quite successfully. The same definitely couldn\u2019t be said for Liz\u2019s sisters, and her parents couldn\u2019t care less what any of them did.\nMentally shaking herself, she stopped thinking about the next day and went back to the conversation around the table. Her work was her life, and her friends were a big part of why she enjoyed it so much. She laughed brightly at the joke someone had just made, and flashed her perfect, white smile across the table towards Steven. Picking up her glass again, she took a large swig, and then grabbed the nearest bottle to top it up, ignoring the little voice warning her to go easy in her head, as she was determined to have fun that night, before having to endure her family the next day.\nThe laughter and chatter from the flat could be heard out in the hallway, where a businessman by the name of Tony Bakewell had just strode into the building, stamping snow off his shiny black shoes as he did. He grumbled to himself and shot a dark look towards the source of the merry noise, then set off up to the next floor and his own flat. When he entered, his home was cold and dark, but that was nothing unusual. He flipped the light switch, illuminating his dreary, sparsely decorated home. He hadn\u2019t put much effort in, because he spent remarkably little of his time here. He left early for work in the morning and got back late every night. The most important item of furniture was his large desk, which housed his computer and several piles and boxes full of papers and files.\nRemoving his outdoor wear, Tony loosened his tie very slightly before heading into the kitchen to quickly make himself something to eat. He hastily threw a salad together while heating up a microwave meal, which he ate as fast as possible, then picked up his black, leather briefcase and settled down at the desk. Tony was obsessed with his work, to the point where he had no friends and would have little to do with his family, who didn\u2019t understand his burning ambition. He was an intelligent entrepreneur, who was determined to make millions, and would let nothing stand in his way \u2013 not even Christmas. He\u2019d been an atheist for years, and thought the whole season was a waste of time and money. He ignored any cards or presents he received (though most people had given up sending them some years ago), didn\u2019t attend any parties, never gave money to carollers or other charities and had refused his families invitation to spend Christmas Day with them by claiming he was \u201ctoo busy\u201d.\nThat night, he would sit at his desk for hours, until his eyes were itching with tiredness. The next day, his office was shut, but he would still work all day at home. He could hear carollers out in the street and began muttering to himself darkly.\n\u201cBloody waste of time\u2026 stupid people\u2026 load of rubbish\u2026 better off working\u2026\u201d\nHe loosened his tie a bit more and smoothed his hair down, before continuing to work away on the computer. Just as he was intently studying a particularly complicated document, he heard a large crash coming from the flat opposite his. He sighed exasperatedly and muttered again.\n\u201cDamned Walkers\u2026 can\u2019t learn to be bloody quiet\u2026\u201d\nHe cracked his fingers and shook his head, then carried on working late into the night, just like he did every other day of the year.\nThe Walkers were a particularly loud family, who regularly received complaints from their neighbours about the volume of noise coming from their flat, and that Christmas Eve was no different. The flat was usually quite a dismal place, and always smelt like cigarettes and alcohol, but it had been decorated for Christmas with many ornaments and a grand tree by the window. However, that night the decorations lay broken and scattered over the floor, much to the dismay of the two children, who were huddled together in a corner of the living room. Their parents stood in the middle, having a screaming match with each other.\n\u201cYou\u2019re such a pig! Absolutely useless, bloody pig!\u201d bawled their mother, tears cascading down her face.\n\u201cDon\u2019t you talk to me like that, you bitch!\u201d bellowed their father, who grabbed another ornament off the mantel piece and flung it across the room in the general direction of their mother.\n\u201cAnd why shouldn\u2019t I? You come home drunk, after spending all day in the pub because you can\u2019t find a ruddy job \u2013\u201d she was cut off as her husband dealt her a blow across the face, causing her to stagger. In the corner, the eldest child strokes the hair of her younger brother, who is sobbing with wide horror struck eyes, and whispers in his ear.\n\u201cIt\u2019ll be all right, it never lasts, hush now, it\u2019s ok\u2026\u201d\nMeanwhile, their father is still yelling abuse at their mother, who isn\u2019t shy in returning insults, as their language gets progressively worse. They used to be a happy family, until alcohol took over the adults\u2019 lives. Fights had been a regular occurrence for some years now, leaving the Mr Walker angry, Mrs Walker upset and the children terrified every time.\n\u201cWould you shut him up?\u201d shouted Mr Walker at his daughter, referring to the increasingly loud sobs coming from the little boy curled up in her lap. She stared in shock and horror, while still holding and trying to comfort her brother.\n\u201cLeave them alone!\u201d cried their mother, who was now sporting a large bruise blossoming across her face, \u201cThis is nothing to do with them!\u201d\n\u201cIt will be if he doesn\u2019t shut it!\u201d Mr Walker strode across the room and violently kicked his son, resulting in his daughter bursting into tears, as the boy yelled in pain.\n\u201cStop, please, please stop,\u201d whispered the girl, holding her brother even tighter as she felt his tears beginning to seep into her clothes. Her pleading simply earned her a slap across the face, causing her to gasp in shock and pain. Mrs Walker began to scream in protest, a noise which could be heard throughout most of the building. The girl buried her face in her brother\u2019s shoulder, resigning herself to the fact that this would continue until her father stormed out, which might not be for some time.\nUpstairs, an elderly couple stopped what they were doing at the sound of Mrs Walker\u2019s scream.\n\u201cMy, what could that be?\u201d remarked the woman, \u201cWell, no time to wonder, come on now Richard, they\u2019ll be here soon!\u201d\n\u201cYes Gladys,\u201d her husband replied, somewhat wearily. He was carefully laying the large, oak dining table for twelve people, while his wife bustled around the kitchen, with about half a dozen different dishes on the go at once.\n\u201cRichard, that\u2019s not right!\u201d she frowned at him, placing her hands on her hips, \u201cThat place should have a smaller glass for one of the children! I don\u2019t want them using the expensive ones.\u201d\n\u201cSorry dear, I\u2019ll fix it right away,\u201d he replied, dutifully doing as he was told. Over fifty years of marriage had taught Richard to do what his wife said without arguing, as it made for a much easier life with her. One such thing that he never argued with was their Christmas tradition \u2013 every year, without fail all their children and grandchildren came to stay with them for the holiday, and every year Gladys went to extreme lengths to get everything prepared exactly as she wanted it. Their home was decorated with the same ornaments every year, all chosen and arranged by Gladys, while Richard simply had to collected a pre-chosen tree. He went with her to buy the presents, but it was Gladys who chose and meticulously wrapped them. Now, she was preparing, in her opinion, the most important part of the holiday \u2013 the food. They would have an adequate dinner that night, before the spectacular banquet the next day.\nSuddenly, the doorbell rang.\n\u201cQuick Richard, that\u2019ll be them! Answer it.\u201d cried Gladys, as she hastily wiped her hands and removed her apron.\n\u201cYes dear,\u201d he sighed gently, as he opened the door.\n\u201cHello dad, merry Christmas!\u201d cried his eldest daughter, hugging him, before several other people spilled into the flat behind her. Gladys and Richard had a son and a daughter, both married with three children, two boys and a girl each. Gladys often admired the perfect symmetry in their family tree.\nGladys hurried out of the kitchen to greet her family, gushing over each of them in turn.\n\u201cOh, it\u2019s so good to see you again!\u201d\n\u201cMy, haven\u2019t you grown!\u201d\n\u201cDear, you\u2019d be so much more handsome if you cut your hair!\u201d\n\u201cThat\u2019s an, um, interesting piercing there, dear\u2026\u201d\n\u201cHow have you been? Work going well, hm?\u201d\n\u201cOk mum!\u201d interrupted her son, laughing at his mother\u2019s usual well-meaning but long-winded chatter, \u201cThat\u2019s enough for now, let us get our stuff away and sit down.\u201d\n\u201cYes, yes, of course. Richard, help them with their bags, I must sort out the food,\u201d she said, throwing her hands in the air and dashing off back into the kitchen. Her children exchanged a glance and rolled their eyes, sighing at her obsessively organised nature. Sitting their father down and assuring him they didn\u2019t need help, they went to unpack, ushering their own children, a mixture of sulky teens and hyperactive children, through to help instead. They were fairly certain this Christmas would be no different from any other \u2013 which was just how their mother would like it.\nA few minutes later, Richard left their flat carrying a plate of mince pies his wife had made from scratch. He crossed the hall and rang the bell of the flat opposite.\nInside a very old man raised his head wearily and glanced towards the door. He groped around beside him for his walking stick, and carefully pulled his weary body out of his large, worn, leather armchair. Slowly, he shuffled across the room, hunched over with a bad back, and eventually answered the door.\n\u201cMerry Christmas, Mr Fields,\u201d said Richard, smiling politely, \u201cMy wife made these delicious pies and asked me to bring them over to you.\u201d\n\u201cEh?\u201d croaked Mr Fields, cupping one hand around his ear, \u201cSpeak up boy.\u201d\nRaising his voice, Richard tried again, \u201cMince pies for you!\u201d\n\u201cAh, right, why didn\u2019t you just say so?\u201d he said, setting his stick aside in order to accept the plate with both hands, \u201cThank you very much.\u201d\nSmiling, Richard pulled the door shut as Mr Fields went back into his flat. He shuffled over to the nearest table and set the pies down, before returning to his chair in front of the television. His flat was rather drab and plain and smelt very musty. He had lived here for about five years and was now in his early eighties. The flat was decorated in bland shades of cream and brown, and didn\u2019t look particularly festive, apart from the few lonely pieces of tinsel put up by his carer, who visited twice a week. She wouldn\u2019t be coming the next day though, as she was spending Christmas with her own family, after Mr Fields\u2019 insistence that she do so. At first she had been reluctant, not wanting him to spend Christmas alone, but he had assured her his son was coming to see him. This was a lie \u2013 Mr Fields had no family. His wife had died some years previously and they had no children. He would be alone for Christmas.\nMr Fields scratched his nose with a gnarled, wrinkly finger, and then reached for the remote control. He began flicking through channels, looking for anything that wasn\u2019t related to Christmas, anything that wouldn\u2019t remind him of how alone he was.\nThe last flat in the building was on the top floor, and although it was the largest it was home to just two people. The flat was tastefully decorated and had a warm, homely atmosphere. The living room was full of family pictures and a warm, crackling fire burned in the grate. The Christmas tree had been lovingly decorated with a mix of old ornaments passed down through family, and newer ones the couple had bought together. The smell of cooking filled the room, escaping from the well-used kitchen. The windows offered a wonderful view of the snowy city, and it was here, admiring the view that a young woman sat in the window seat, thinking happily on her life.\n\u201cLily?\u201d a voice called.\n\u201cThrough here Josh,\u201d she replied, smiling as she turned to see her husband enter the room. He walked over to her, grinning broadly and bent down to give her a light kiss, before gently puling her over to sit on the large, squashy sofa with him.\n\u201cSo, how was your day?\u201d he said, wrapping his arms around her.\n\u201cGood, I think everything\u2019s ready for my parents coming tomorrow,\u201d she answered, leaning against him, \u201cYours?\u201d\n\u201cAll right, but I\u2019m glad to be home.\u201d\n\u201cI\u2019m glad you\u2019re home too.\u201d she grinned up at him.\nThey sat together for a while, not saying anything, just enjoying being with each other. Lily\u2019s mind drifted back to her earlier thoughts. She and Josh had been married for almost two years now and she was still very much in love with him. They had the occasional fight, but it helped keep their relationship spontaneous and exciting. The little surprises he gave her also helped \u2013 taking her out for dinner now and then, buying inexpensive but thoughtful gifts for no reason. They both worked hard at their jobs, as they wanted to move out to the country one day, but they always made time for each other. Glancing back towards the window, Lily noticed that snow was gently drifting down from the sky again.\nShe looked back up at Josh, who had also noticed it, and murmured to him, \u201cDo you remember the day you proposed? It was snowing like this, then too.\u201d\n\u201cYeah, of course I do. Best decision I ever made.\u201d\nLily sat up straight and faced him directly, biting her lip nervously.\n\u201cLily? Is everything all right?\u201d Josh asked, seeing the worried look on her face.\n\u201cI need to tell you something about your Christmas present, before my parents get here.\u201d\n\u201cWhat is it?\u201d he said, taking her hand in his.\n\u201cWell, it\u2019s going to be a bit late.\u201d\n\u201cThat\u2019s fine. How late?\u201d\n\u201cAbout nine months. I\u2019m\u2026 well, I\u2019m pregnant.\u201d\nJosh\u2019s eyes lit up in wonder, as a huge grin spread across his face. Lily giggled nervously, as he stared at her in awe.\n\u201cThis is\u2026 this is amazing Lily! Pregnant!\u201d\nShe nodded again, unable to take the smile off her face, as her husband swept her up and whirled her around the room before kissing her again.\n\u201cThis is the best Christmas present you could\u2019ve gotten me,\u201d he said, his voice full of wonder.\nThe snow continued to float down outside the window. The city was getting quieter, as lights began to go out and the stream of traffic dried up. People were getting ready to end the day, in preparation for the next one. For some, it would be a time spent with family and loved ones. For others, it was about friendship, while a few would spend it alone. Some would have a happy day, full of love and joy, while for others it would be miserable and filled with arguments and hatred. Some would treat it like any other day, while for others, it would be one they would never forget.\nThe Whole World Knows Your Name, But Who The Hell Are You?\nDebates about the privacy of celebrities have been going on forever \u2013 just because they choose a certain career, does that mean they should be followed and photographed at every opportunity? Yes, they are real people, and no one wants everything in the open, but in this day and age, certain careers lead to fame \u2013 and this limits privacy. But that\u2019s not what this post is about. It\u2019s about how celebrities choose to portray themselves \u2013 in particular musicians. Acting, by definition, involves pretending to be someone else. TV presenters read lines given to them. Athletes carry out physical actions. Musicians make music \u2013 but what is the music about?\nLana Del Rey (Source)\nYou Me At Six (Source)\nThe Whole World Knows Your Name, But Who The Hell ...",

        "title": "Grand Valley Lanthorn | CSLC sponsors overnight service trip",
        "raw_content": "By Natalie Lussier | 2/11/15 9:59pm\nGVL/Kevin Sielaff Kristen Rupp (left), April Urbanowski (middle), and Eric Kurczewski (right)\nGrand Valley State University's Community Service Learning Center will sponsor an overnight service trip at the Blandford Nature Center this weekend. Students will work with the center on a variety of tasks including invasive species maintenance and snow removal.\nTwice a year, the CSLC takes 24 student volunteers to the Grand Rapids area in an effort to make a difference in the community. The second trip will take place from Feb. 13-14.\nLaura Murnen, graduate assistant for Service Initiatives in the Office of Student Life and coordinator for the event, said what makes it interesting is the 24-hour component. The overnight aspect of it allows the students to create a bond the night before serving.\n\"Friday night is all about bringing GVSU students together under a common interest of service and having them learn from one another,\" Murnen said. \"Every Friday night of an overnight service trip, we go over the foundation of service learning and try to do a small service project that night so that we are geared up for Saturday morning.\"\nStudents will meet in the Student Organization Center, located on the lowest level of Kirkhof, at 4 p.m. on Friday and spend the night at the First United Methodist Church. They are expected to return between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. on Saturday.\n\"The purpose of the overnight service trip is to immerse students in the concept of service learning and spend a day assisting others,\" said Danielle Tanner, CSLC service and leadership Intern. \"Service learning is a vital part of volunteering, as it causes workers to stop and ponder the impact that they are having on the organization as well as the impact that the organization is having on them. This thoughtful process makes the service resounding.\"\nTanner added that she volunteers frequently for organizations, but at many service trips, it is not possible to connect with other volunteers due to time restrictions. The opportunity to connect with other students, she said, makes the service more enjoyable and meaningful.\nSince 2013, the CSLC has helped organizations such as Feeding America, YWCA, Rays of Hope and the Clark Retirement Community. Murnen said she tries to partner with different nonprofit organizations every time so that students who sign up can help with a variety of needs throughout their community.\nThough the first service trip is booked, those interested in participating in the next overnight service trip or any future volunteer opportunities can visit www. gvsu.edu/service/ for more information.",

        "title": "Grand Valley Lanthorn | GVSU's SAAC to host 2nd annual Anchor Awards",
        "raw_content": "GVSU's SAAC to host 2nd annual Anchor Awards\nBy Louis Ricard | 4/5/18 3:22am\nThe Grand Valley State Student Athletic Advisory Committee (SAAC) is hosting the second annual Anchor Awards Celebration on Thursday, April 12, at 8:30 p.m.\nThe event is designed to recognize the achievements of GVSU student athletes while fundraising for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Last year, the Anchor Awards generated around $4,500, bumping the SAAC\u2019s fundraising effort to $10,000 for the first time in over four years.\nBut the SAAC is much more than a fundraising organization: It is the voice of all GVSU student athletes.\n\u201cGVSU SAAC committee is made up of student athletes assembled to provide insight on the student athlete experience and offer input on the rules, regulations and policies that affect student athletes' lives on campus,\u201d said Erika Wallace, GVSU associate athletic director.\nEstablished in 2001 at GVSU, the SAAC has been working closely with the athletic department to ensure that student athletes enjoy their experience to the fullest. According to Wallace, the committee helps provide feedback and insight into athletic department issues, build a sense of community within the athletics program involving all athletic teams, and organize community service with the kids.\n\u201cWe\u2019re making a big difference,\u201d said Adrienne Kihn, SAAC president. \u201cI\u2019ve seen what we\u2019ve done with Make-A-Wish. I\u2019ve met some of the kids, and we are doing great things. We are a great way to bring the athletic department as a whole, so it\u2019s a great way to give back to the program that\u2019s given us so much.\u201d\nAccording to Kihn, the GVSU SAAC struggled to hit its goal of fundraising $10,000 in the past. Since the launch of the Anchor Awards, the committee has reached that goal once already and is on pace to reach it again this year.\nIn previous years, the committee hosted a talent show where they auctioned gear to get as much money as they could. The show did not generate enough money, and the SAAC struggled to find a way to replace it until one of its members\u2014Matt Williams\u2014went to a national SAAC convention.\nAccording to Williams, several schools had launched their own version of the Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly Awards (ESPYs), a national event designed to recognized professional athletes\u2019 accomplishments. GVSU decided to start its own event, calling it the Anchor Awards.\n\u201cThe SAAC e-board does all of the planning by splitting duties,\u201d Wallace said. \u201cFor example, someone is responsible for decorations, someone is on food, others are on registration and payments.\u201d\nOnce the coaches submit their nominations, the SAAC e-board narrows it down based on the description of the award and proceeds to vote.\n\u201cLast year, it took us two four-hour meetings because we wanted to be super fair, so we gave everyone a chance,\u201d Kihn said.\nThe awards are fairly similar to the ESPYs, including a player of the year award, a team of the year award, among others. However, some are original to GVSU, such as the senior-legacy award for example, one of the most difficult to vote on, according to Kihn.\nLast year, the Make-A-Wish Foundation granted 450 wishes thanks to the GVSU SAAC $10,000 contribution. This year, Kihn hopes to be able to grant at least as many wishes, but the main goal is to reach that same amount of money for a second year in a row.\nAlthough fundraising is one of the main focuses of the committee, its student athletes\u2019 well-being is a top priority. Kihn and her e-board hosted the first Question, Persuade and Refer (QPR) training session this year with more than 300 student athletes in attendance. The goal is to help athletes with suicide prevention and in recognizing the symptoms before it\u2019s too late.\nAccording to Kihn, mental health is a big issue for student athletes, and the SAAC is finding new ways to tackle this problem. Next year\u2019s project is to have a simulation training for all student athletes attending GVSU.\nThe GVSU committee has helped the university with initiatives and projects that help maintain the level of success the university is striving for athletically. However, the SAAC\u2019s success off the field, court or anywhere, for that matter, is just as important.\nThe Anchor Awards will be located at the Fieldhouse Arena on Thursday, April 12. Doors open at 8:30 p.m. and tickets are $15 per person.",

(MD) No. 21480 of 2018 & W.M.P.(MD) No. 19373 to 19376 of 2018\nFor the Petitioner: A. Muthun Chakravarthi, Advocate. For the Respondents: R1, No appearance, R2 to R5, K. Chellapandian, Additional Advocate General Assisted by D. Muruganantham, Additional Government Pleader, R6 to R10, K. Hema Karthikeyan, Advocate.\n(Prayer: Petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, praying to issue a Writ of Certiorarified Mandamus, calling for the record pertaining to the impugned notification dated 08.10.2018 published by the 3rd Respondent herein declaring the Respondents 6 to 10 candidates nomination as valid nominations and rejecting the rest and quash the sa\nme as illegal and consequently direct the 1st Respondent herein to conduct the free and fair election to the 4th Respondent Society with adequate police protection and video coverage.)\nAccording to the petitioner, he had submitted his nomination for the post of Director in the Election that was to be conducted for the Board of Directors of MH 161, Anna Cooperative Spinning Mills Ltd., Aundipatty, Theni District on 06.10.2018. During the scrutiny on 08.10.2018 his nomination was rejected. It is complained by the petitioner that no scrutiny had been conducted by the third respondent as per Rule 52(8)(e) of Tamil Nadu Cooperative Society Rules, 1988. In such circumstances, the Petitioner has approached this Court, challenging the proceeding of the Election Officer dated 08.10.2018 and the consequential proceedings dated 09.10.2018, declaring the unanimous election of the sixth to tenth respondents and others for consequential direction to conduct election afresh.\n\u201cWith regard to plea made in the writ petition in W.P.(MD) No.21480 of 2018 filed before the Hon'ble Madurai Bench of Madras High Court and in pursuance to the instructions issued in Circular Rc.No.321/201/Co.E1-1, dated 19.07.2018 of the Tamil Nadu State Cooperative Election Commission, Chennai. I hereby withdraw my earlier notification dated 09.10.2018 declaring elected 11 candidates to the Board of Directors of M.H.161, Anna Cooperative Spinning Mills Ltd., Aundipatty, Theni District.\u201d\nIn the affidavit filed along with the said proceedings the third respondent has stated that he had rejected the nomination of the Petitioner without taking note of guideline (v) of the Election Commission Circular in Rc.No.321/201/Co.E1-1, dated 19.07.2018 that errors and omissions had to be allowed to be rectified in relation to the Membership Number, category of constitution, signature, place of affixation of signature, omission of details in the nomination form.\n3. In view of the aforesaid submissions made by the third respondent, the impugned notification dated 08.10.2018 published by the third respondent and the order dated 09.10.2018 issued by the third respondent declaring sixth to tenth respondents as having been elected as Director of M.H.161, Anna Cooperative Spinning Mills Ltd., Aundipatty, Theni District are set aside. The election process shall be conducted from the stage of allowing the candidates to rectify errors and omissions in their respective nominations, which have already been received, as per the new time schedule to be announced by the first respondent/Election Commission for Tamil Nadu Cooperative Societies. The aforesaid exercise, which shall be fully video-graphed, shall be completed and a compliance report in that regard shall be submitted to the Registrar (Judicial) of this Court by 31.12.2018.",

        "raw_content": "Even though there is a trend toward open-space workplaces, views about the effectiveness of this design vary widely. Fast Company editors Jason Feifer and Anjali Mullany take up this debate in a FC interview for an article titled, \u201cTwo Cube Dwellers Argue Over Open Offices. Who's Right?\u201d Their differing views on the matter do an excellent job of identifying the issues involved in the open-office controversy.\nJason Feifer: I witness an inability to concentrate, lack of privacy, and absent sense of ownership--which is a problem given that I occupy this space for the bulk of my waking hours. But the business community insists this is good for me. Supposedly, by all of us being mushed together instead of provided the pleasure of private \u00adoffices, we're to form a beating heart of collaboration. And yet, because we're sitting together, we're doing everything we can to create the sense that we're apart.\nAnjali Mullany: Where I sit, we don't wear headphones very often, and my team interacts a lot. In fact, we found that the built-in barriers between our desks were an impediment because we couldn't see each other when we spoke, so we recently had them removed. We made that decision together, and the feedback from team members has been positive. Instead of IM'ing each other, we're talking in person. It's way more efficient and less maddening than having my Gchat icon flashing all day, since I already suffer from multitasking overload, thanks to email, Yammer, Campfire, social media, and multiple browser tabs. When we do wear headphones, we take it as a sign that the person doesn't want to be disturbed unless it's urgent.\nDespite these disagreements, it\u2019s not one-size-fits-all. Leaders have to decide what kind of design will work best for their organizations given the culture that they want and the strategic goals of their businesses.\nRich Sheridan, in his book Joy, Inc., describes the intentional culture in Menlo Innovations that is a variation on the open-office design. The purpose of the Menlo workspace is to facilitate teamwork, information sharing, and problem-solving in order to develop the best software solutions for their customers. Prospective new hires are given some time to try out this environment before they are hired. They know that their workplace design is not a good fit for everyone and some people walk away after deciding that they don\u2019t want to work in that kind of environment.\nI can identify with the positions of both Feifer and Mullany. For some tasks I have appreciated working in an open office environment with few barriers between me and my co-workers and for some tasks I have appreciated being able to isolate myself for a few hours. I\u2019ve had employees who would go nuts in a private office and performed best when they were in the middle of the action, constantly shifting their attention among tasks and bosses. I\u2019ve had other employees who could be good team members but needed time to themselves and could not function well in an open office all day long.\nYou need to be intentional about workspace based on the culture you want to create and the performance objectives of the organization. You also need to take into consideration the differences in the ways individuals prefer to learn and work. This might mean building in options so that people can change where they work given the nature of the task and the desired outcomes. A default design of all private offices, all cubicles, or all open office, without consideration of culture, might be expedient but it will not help to maximize learning and performance.\ntagged with communication, culture, FastCompany, learning, Menlo, open-office, open-space, productivity, teamwork",

The legislation\u2019s renewal was a fast-tracked through the House, making its way to the Senate, where it received majority support. The legislation is now awaiting President Barack Obama\u2019s signature, which is expected to be given within the coming days. The President\u2019s signature will enact the legislation, reinstituting the federal backstop that the insurance industry has been relying on.\nInsurers will again be able to access federal backstop once the legislation is signed into law\nLawmakers had been working to renew the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act last year, but objections from one Senator allowed the law to expire at the end of December. The insurance industry was pressuring lawmakers to renew the law, suggesting that its expiration could have negative implications for the real estate industry. The law provides insurers with financial aid in the event of a terrorist attack. Without this aid, some insurers had suggested that commercial projects would be vulnerable.\nFederal government will cover 85% of damages caused by terrorist attacks after insurers cover the initial $200 million\nThe backstop offers to cover the majority of expenses in the event of a terrorist attack after insurers have covered the first $200 million in damages. After this threshold is passed, the federal government covers 85% of the damages, which will be gradually lowered to 80% in the coming years. The backstop first became available to the insurance industry in 2002 as a response to the September 11 attacks.\nTerrorism insurance may offer some stability to the real estate sector\nWhile terrorist attacks in the United States are exceptionally rare, the insurance industry has been a strong advocate for the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act. Some insurers suggest that the legislation provides confidence to those that are developing commercial projects, such as large skyscrapers and sports stadiums. It also offers some stability to the real estate sector and allows insurers to better manage the risks that they face from potential acts of terrorism.\nHouse of Representatives, insurance industry, insurance industry news, Senate, Terror insurance, terrorism insurance, terrorism insurance news, Terrorism Risk Insurance Act, TRIA, us insurance industry\nTop 2014 cases of insurance fraud identified\nNew Jersey Turnpike scam makes insurance news when adjuster sentenced",

        "title": "Past and Present of Livingston County, vol. 1 (History) by A.J. Roof",
        "raw_content": "THE FLOOD OF JULY, 1909\nIt is not deemed good policy to advertise great calamities and dire disasters, but the historian who neglects to record the mysteries of creative forces' would be remiss in the performance of his duty. History, past and present, includes all things miraculous and considered worthy of compilation. The historian is a chronicler of events. Holmes says history without chronology is dark and confused and chronology without history is dry and insipid. The grandest history ever written tells us in the sixth, seventh and eighth chapters of Genesis of a great flood, the rain falling forty days and forty nights, and in which \"every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth, and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark. And the waters prevailed upon the earth one hundred and fifty days.\"\nNot so serious by far and not so destructive and far-reaching, was the great local flood that visited North Missouri and many other sections of the country in July, 1909.\nThe author is indebted to Col. Harry W. Graham, Live stock editor of the Missouri Ruralist, for the following report of the great flood that visited North Missouri and other sections of the country in July, 1909:\nTo a progressive, in matters of occurrences that pertain to state, home and the church, it is not a pleasant task to talk or write about things destructive. Such things, we try to forget, and yet I am requested to write something historical of the damage and destruction of the great flood of 1909 in Livingston county. I do not remember much about it. I have tried to forget it and therefore my mind does not bring much to me in detail of that great overflow in our Grand river valley lands.\nI remember being called at 2 o'clock in the morning from my slumbers, by our city marshal, Maurice Dorney, over the telephone, requesting that I get word to every person in my immediate vicinity who had interests in the bottom lands, that a great cloud burst had broken over the country in the northwest between here and the Iowa line. That a bank of water several feet high was tearing its way down through the country, traversed by Grand river, carrying everything before it. It was on the morning of July 6, 1909, and I remember I stood at the telephone for over an hour sending out the word of warning. It was a difficult task to get people at that hour in the morning awakened and a more difficult problem to make them understand that you were telling them the truth, and there was a tendency on the part of some to argue the matter. The news was so sudden, they could not realize the danger.\nKnowing those who had relatives or friends living in the low lands, I first gave the warning to them to rush to the assistance. Then I took up those I knew who had live stock grazing on the lowland pastures. When I had finished, I hastily dressed and started for the river but immediately I got out on the sidewalk, I heard a great roaring noise, as a long freight train crossing a trestle work on a frosty morning. My first thought was a railroad train. The distance was perhaps a mile or a little over. I rushed forward and the terrible noise increased with a fierceness and velocity that foretold of something terrible to happen. I shall never forget that sound on that dark early morning. It was the sound of many mighty waters, six miles in breadth, with a crest nine feet high, trying to force its way through the Wabash, the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy and the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railways' big steel bridges and iron and cement culverts that were erected in conjunction with the high embankments that stretched for miles across the lowlands of this great valley.\nMany a person and many an animal may feel grateful for these three lines of railroad grades, for they served to check the mighty force of the mad rush of waters that were described by persons who first saw their approach, \"as a bank of water six feet high coming overland, through the pastures and woods.\" Otherwise many lives of persons and entire families would have been swept down with the flood.\nThis checking of the waters and the timely action of citizens all along the river for many miles, afforded time and opportunity to rescue them in hurriedly made boats before the embankments gave way to the greater force of waters that followed on the heels of the first deluge.\nIt was fortunate indeed that the telephone existed, for towns up and down the river valley got word of alarm to each community in time to save the lives of the thousands that inhabited the lowlands. And each neighborhood passed the word along to others, by their use and the faithful telephone operators who were on duty that dreadful night.\nIn Chillicothe the streets in the business part of town took on an activity, never witnessed here before. Before there was light enough to see to mark a line with square and pencil, carpenters and many who were unused to using carpenter tools, were busy making boats from lumber that had been hauled from the lumber yards by transfer companies and individual drays. These and all available boats were put into immediate commission early in the day, and by night-fall every family and its members had been accounted for who resided in the lowland district of the county.\nFor six days this flood lasted without loss of life, except one, that of a telephone repair man, who in some way fell from the top of a pole where he was repairing the line, into the water below, being unable to swim and to be reached by his fellow workmen in time, he was drowned.\nThe damage done was great, coming as it did, just before the farmers had threshed and hauled their wheat to market. Whole fields of wheat were carried away in the shock. Meadows and corn fields were ruined, the loose dirt of recent cultivation, washed away, leaving the earth smooth, as though skinned with a sharp edged tool. Poultry and all kinds of live stock was swept away. Railroads, like the individual, suffered great loss. Miles of embankment with ties, heavy steel rails and bridges were carried away like paper toys in a gale.\nFrom statistics furnished by conservative men in the various counties of the state for that year or for the July flood in counties north of the Missouri river and ten counties south, 1,485,290 acres were overflowed and the crops destroyed in these counties amounted to $18,896,340. The destruction in many counties was extremely heavy, while in others it amounted to only a few dollars. This was due to these counties being out of range of the valleys through which the cloud burst water would naturally drain. The heaviest loss fell in Howard, Livingston, Carroll, Daviess, Atchison, Charition, Grundy and Holt counties, ranging from $500,000 to $1,500,000. Howard county headed the list at $1,500,000, while Livingston came second with a loss of $1,200,000. Grundy was third with $1,059, 840. Daviess lost a round million dollars, Carroll, $960,000 and Holt, $825,000.\nThese figures represent only the loss of crops that were destroyed and not the loss to soil, fences and other farm property. A conservative estimate of the entire loss to Livingston county from that flood, including crops, live stock and other property, would be around two million five hundred thousand dollars.\nWhile outside aid was proffered, it was not accepted. Livingston county took care of its loss. Funds were raised to give relief and tide over sufferers until they could get started again. Seed corn and seed potatoes were purchased and distributed to the farmers to replant their land and at the close of the year there remained in this relief fund nearly two hundred dollars surplus.\nThe territory embraced by this great flood was between one-fourth and one-third of the acreage of the county. It was a phenomenal flood, not due to natural conditions but to a series of cloud bursts in Southwestern Iowa and Northwestern Missouri, the natural course of drainage in this territory, being the Grand river valley and that of Medicine creek. This accounts for the great loss. It probably will not happen again in a thousand years or more.",

        "raw_content": "You probably have heard of flipping houses before but have you heard of Flipping websites? The idea is you buy a rundown website or website that someone is selling because they need the money and want to move onto another website venture and no longer have the time or passion to devote to the website they are selling. You buy the website add more content into it (or do nothing at all) and receive commissions the previous owner had indefinitely or turn around and flip the website for a profit.\nIf you're like me and live overseas or perhaps want to live overseas but need to find an income stream that will allow you to do so then maybe flipping websites is for you.\nCreating a website from scratch can be a little daunting and even if I make you a website for free there is no sure thing your going to make money out of it. However there are literally hundreds of thousands of websites available for sale that make anywhere from a few dollars a month to 10's of thousands of dollars a month that you can purchase and flip for profit.\nWhat makes this whole website flipping business possible is a website funnily enough called Flippa. Now i've been watching Flippa since it first started out and in the beginning it was like the wild west. People were able to sell websites they had made in a few days for literally hundreds of dollars and they weren't making money at all. Consumers and even Flippa to some extent has been able to put an end to those days and now the site is full of sites that actually do make money.\nHow you could make money flipping websites\nThe reason I wrote this post because this week I was looking at websites on flippa and found this site bestairbrushes.com. I checked out it's stats at flip filter did research on the keywords the owner had targeted and it looked pretty solid. I never read what the owner has to say first I kind of get an idea of what I think the site is worth first based on my experiences in SEO. Organic traffic is what is more reliable than any other. I figured out the site would probably make about $20 a month over the course of the year and if I worked on it more I could improve on it somewhat probably doubling it's revenues within a month if I had 50 hours to do so.\nIf I'm buying a website I always stick within 12 times earnings per month. So if the website is making 100 dollars a month then I wouldn't pay more than 1200 dollars. This particular website sold for $500 which is 25 times earnings which I thought it was worth and 14 times earnings which the owner thought it was worth. In the end it sold for more money than it was worth for me however the new owner quickly put up a survey mail list collection which he is hoping to then email users something to buy and hopefully make more than the $500 that he paid for the website if he gets 500 people to sign up he probably will.\nSo there is definitely money to be made out of flipping websites and even buying established websites sitting on them for a while and reselling them for more money but of course with everything if only it were as simple as it sounds. You should do your research maybe buy a few books on the topic before you dial right in and start buying sites especially if you don't know much about it. A good website I found that was packed with information and good is How to buy and sell websites.\nLiving in Thailand flipping websites\nCan you make money in Thailand from flipping websites? Sure why not as long as you are making enough of a profit from the websites to support your life abroad. This is a long term business not a short term. People who buy websites like to see history and proof before they depart with their cash. Now you don't have to want to live in Thailand you might want to stay right where you are it's just that living in Thailand is so much cheaper that you could get by on a lousy $1000 a month of income but it will take some time.\nBefore you run out and start buying any websites make sure you've done your reasearch and have a 2-3 year goal in mind. This business can change rapidly so being flexible is key and having a bit of luck on your website flipping venture can't be bad either.\nSo if you wanted to make $1000 a month buying and selling websites (flipping websites) then you might be able to do so (not guaranteed) by buying up 50 different websites that each make at least $20 a month. The websites are going to cost you about $250 - $500 each so you're going to have to make a large investment at some point. But if you look at a 3 year plan investing only $2000 a year will be able to get those websites for $6000 and that's only $160 investment each month over three years, this is how you could do it:\n1st Year of flipping websites\nBuy 9 websites over the course of the year and you invest $2000 but spend $2500 based on profits of the websites you've bought that year. You now have 9 websites that are making you $180 - $200 a month. You improve the websites you have bought so that you can flip the better performing websites for more than you originally paid.\n2nd Year of flipping websites\nBuy another 15 websites over the course of the year and sold an improved website for double what you paid for. You invested another $2000 in your website flipping business but you spent $5760 on new websites because of one that you sold for $1000 and the $2200 you were getting from the websites you purchased the year before (provided you were able to improve a website and sell it for double what you paid). Now you have a total of 23 websites that are making you $460 a month.\n3rd Year of flipping websites\nYour third year of the website flip is going good you can buy 2 websites a month without selling any of your existing websites. provided they are all still generating cash\nAt the end of the 3 years you would have invested $166 a month over that time, your 50 websites would now be worth $25,000 if you sold them back on Flippa and you would have made a profit of $19,000. But why sell them when those websites are now making you over $1000 a month or 30,000 baht a month enough money to live in Thailand or good pocket money for you to stay exactly where you are.\nNow it's not as easy as all this so make sure if you do go down this road that you get the right information about flipping websites learn the secrets from the flipping website masters before you go out and spend a bunch of money on websites that don't make any profits at all.\nI don't know how many people are living in Thailand that make money solely from flipping websites but I do know a few people who do it but they won't say how much money they make.

Your last two articles were basically affiliate marketing promos. I\u2019m not saying you don\u2019t deserve to monetize your traffic, but why not respect your readers and be totally open about what you\u2019re doing? Hell, why not write an article about doing affiliate marketing in Thailand and tell us how it went, I\u2019d be very interested to know.\nIt may seem like that but not exactly. See the previous article was about steroids in Thailand and yes there is advertising I\u2019ve spent $300 on this website this month so I have to put advertising to pay for it somehow. This article relates to Thailand, I often get emails about how to make money in Thailand so I thought why not write articles about making money with a spin to how it relates to Thailand. This blog isn\u2019t so much about Thailand it\u2019s about Life in Thailand moreso my life in Thailand. And anything to relates to those two topics. Hey maybe someone will read this article not knowing anything about flipping websites and be able to make enough money to be able to come to live in Thailand.\nI am pretty open about what i\u2019m doing with the blog do I make money from the blog, yes, not enough to live in Thailand but it\u2019s enough to cover the time I spend putting into it. I think most readers would be ok knowing if you you click on one of my hotel links and book it through Agoda I get a small commission. I tell people all the time why because I actually have good information and no BS on this site.\nSo Foxy i\u2019m glad your interested to learning more about affilate marketing in Thailand so keep posted because this is a subject that I intend to do more of if you think, even if people have negative things to say about me or my blog I still publish them where others don\u2019t and believe me they don\u2019t. I\u2019ve posted comments on a thousand blogs in Thailand negative and good just to see what the owner will do. Most the time they delete the messages because they don\u2019t want to know how full of BS they really are.\nIf you have any ideas of what I should write about i\u2019d be happy to hear sometimes it\u2019s hard to come up with things to write everday so if an article you read seems boring it\u2019s probably because i was having a bad day.

It's a horribly sad situation and it's close proximity to the holidays makes it especially cruel in my opinion. :(\nI agree, Becky - it is hard to put into words such unnecessary loss.

        "title": "About Deb | Low Carb Sisters",
        "raw_content": "I\u2019m Deb, a married, 53 year-old mother of a teenager. As mentioned in the \u201cAbout Us\u201d section, my sister, Laura, and I have struggled with our weight our entire lives. I am currently still very overweight and have been slow to find a way to eat low carb on a regular basis. I would say that I am now officially \u201con plan\u201d more than I\u2019m off and definitely feel more healthy. I\u2019m working to make the difficult transition from \u201con-and-off\u201d to \u201cway of life.\u201d\nLike most overweight people, I have been on many diets. I lost a lot of weight with Weight Watchers (WW) over the years, and learned some important habits from them that have helped me with low carb. I was never able to maintain the weight loss, however. As I became older and more insulin resistant, WW stopped working for me altogether, regardless of how diligently I tried. I would lose about 6 pounds the first two weeks, then the needle refused to move on that damn scale, even when I felt like I was starving. One of the things I like best about eating low carb is that I feel much more relaxed with this plan. I used to worry about what I was eating all the time, constantly trying to calculate points/calories throughout my day.\nCounting points with WW was fairly complicated a few years ago. I knew the point-counting was getting to me one day when I was in Starbucks, mentally counting the points for the coffee I was planning to order, when one of the employees gave me a little paper cup with a pastry sample. I tried the delicious morsel, immediately trying to figure out the WW cost while tossing the empty paper cup into the trash. There was an older gentleman standing next to me in line who suddenly looked at me and said, \u201ctwo points.\u201d I stood staring at him, immediately thinking to myself, \u201care you kidding me, that tiny little piece couldn\u2019t have possibly been 2 points,\u201d followed by, \u201cboy, he has some nerve assuming I\u2019m on WW just because I\u2019m fat,\u201d and, finally, \u201cohhhh, that was a basketball reference,\u201d as I realized that the trash can had been a few feet away from me when I tossed in the cup. I wonder what he must have thought as I stood there, speechless, as all of these thoughts went through my head (no doubt with the accompanying expressions of surprise, indignation, and dawning understanding crossing my face). I finally said, \u201cOh, yeah \u2014 heh heh \u2014 thanks!\u201d and rushed out of the coffee shop. Suffice to say, counting points is just a little more mental investment than I\u2019m capable of at this point in my life. Sure, there is some \u2018counting\u2019 that is helpful in low carb, but it is far less complicated and time consuming.\nSo, why low carb? In the last few years, Laura and I have read many books by doctors and other experts on what healthy nutrition for human beings looks like. I came to the conclusion that there is no perfect diet for everyone. It\u2019s an interesting time in nutrition these days \u2014 there is a growing portion of doctors and individuals that believe that the low fat/high carb diet we\u2019ve been told to eat for the past 30 years is largely responsible for the alarming rise in diabetes, obesity, Alzheimer\u2019s and heart disease. After much research, and seeing my sister lose 130 pounds while completely transforming her health, I\u2019m convinced that eating low carb is the answer for me as well. In fact, I\u2019m betting my life on it.\nAt 7:00 a.m. on October 10, 2012, I had a heart attack. I was 49 years old. My husband had already left for work, and I was alone in the house with my 10 year-old daughter, who was still asleep. I woke up with intense pain in my shoulder. I lay there for a while, trying to convince myself that the pain was from a workout with my trainer the previous day, but I knew it was a different kind of pain. I got out of bed and went downstairs. By the time I got there, I had broken out in a cold sweat and felt nauseated. I called an ambulance, concerned that it might be a heart attack, yet not really believing that it was. While waiting for the paramedics to arrive, I called Laura to come over and take care of my daughter, Emma. Laura lives just a few miles away, so she arrived at my house just as I was being put into the ambulance. I still remember how torn Laura was, wanting to come with me in the ambulance, but needing to stay with Emma, who was upset after having woken up just in time to see me being put on a gurney and wheeled out. I couldn\u2019t stand the thought of Emma not having Laura with her, so Laura remained with Emma (rather than a neighbor), as I was rushed to the hospital.\nAt the hospital, I didn\u2019t really believe that I was having a heart attack until the ER doctor told me that I was, and that I needed an emergency procedure to have a stent put in my artery. The only thing I could think about was my daughter and what her life would be like without me. She was just too young to lose her mother. As they were whisking me off to the catheterization lab, I desperately told them that I had a 10-year old daughter who needed me. I wanted them to know she was out there \u2014 to stay invested in my outcome \u2014 because they weren\u2019t just saving me, they were saving Emma, who needed her mother.\nI don\u2019t remember much about the procedure, or even the first day or two afterward. I do remember feeling that I had brought this on myself because I never lost the weight I needed to lose, beating myself up for my failure. I knew that when people heard what had happened they would say, \u201cWell, of course she had a heart attack, look at her.\u201d And I felt that they would be right. It seemed as if it was too late for me \u2014 I couldn\u2019t imagine ever coming back from this.\nAfter an event like this, one is prescribed all kinds of medications, sent to cardiac rehabilitation, and bombarded with crazy low fat/high carb nutritional information. Not only was it overwhelming, none of it seemed to make me feel much better. I was also just plain scared. For at least six months after the event, I was sure I was having another heart attack every time I had any little ache or pain. During my struggle to recover, Laura went into serious research mode. After a while, she started sharing some of the information she found with me. When I began to learn that coronary artery disease is often correlated with insulin dysfunction, controlling insulin levels through a low carb diet made perfect sense to me. Trust me, this is not an easy path for someone who has heart disease, as it goes against most of the current conventional wisdom. A large portion of the medical profession still disagrees with a low carb diet, especially for someone with my medical history. I was a little afraid to go against the status quo at first. However, there are plenty of \u201cgold standard\u201d studies done over the last decade that make a very convincing scientific argument that a low carb diet would probably benefit a large portion of the population, especially individuals, such as Laura and me, who have insulin dysfunction (hyperinsulinemia or insulin resistance). In the end, I figured I would decide what is right for me and live or die by my own informed decision. I\u2019m good with that.\nThe heart attack was a defining moment for both Laura and me. She had made progress with her weight loss over the years, but after doing tons of research related to my health issues and her own (as well as family history), she got more focused about low carb and steadily made progress. Later, after she recovered from a prolonged viral illness three years ago, she became deadly serious and lost the remaining 75 pounds through a very low carb approach, as well as giving up gluten and grains altogether. She has now maintained her weight loss for nearly two years, so she has definitely fully transitioned to a low carb lifestyle. More than that, she is healthier than she has ever been, in ways that cannot be explained by weight loss alone. By changing the foods she eats, she was able to heal many of her long-standing health issues. I\u2019ve witnessed the dramatic improvement to her quality of life as a result.\nNow, you would think that having had a heart attack would have made me get right on a low carb diet and get healthy, but it has been a struggle. My challenge has been to find a way to make truly healthy food that I enjoy without feeling deprived or feeling like a slave to cooking and cleaning. And while Laura has found the formula that works for her, I am still finding what works for me. Honestly, discovering the precise \u2018formula\u2019 to make this way of eating work for you and your life is the hardest part. The rest is simple. It begins and ends with nutrition. It wasn\u2019t pills that turned Laura\u2019s health around; she just changed what she ate. I urge you to refer to some of the resources available on our site to help you better understand the science. Distill that information, and you will find that a properly formulated whole foods, low carb diet is simply about eating healthy meat, vegetables, and fats, along with a level of \u201clow\u201d carb that works for your metabolism. And stay away from processed foods! Nothing shocking here. Granted, it\u2019s not always easy to do, given the current nutritional climate and our carb-centric society, but it is simple and it makes sense.\nSo that\u2019s my story. I have a long way to go, but I take comfort in having seen someone with my kind of metabolism succeed. After reading as much as I can on the subject, I am finally beginning to believe that the diets I tried in good faith were unsuccessful, in large part, because they weren\u2019t right for my metabolism. Not because I have some inherent character flaw, which is what I secretly believed. I know that it\u2019s still my job to find a way to make low carb work for me, but I\u2019m finally beginning to forgive myself for past diet failures. It\u2019s amazing what a difference that makes.",

        "raw_content": "Amaza Lee Meredith was the daughter of an interracial couple in the Jim Crow era of Lynchburg history\nImpactful and praiseworthy is the life of Amaza Lee Meredith. She was born in small-town Lynchburg with aspirations and accomplishments\u2014alive and posthumously, that extended beyond the boundaries of a small-town and influenced fields including education, art, and architecture. Meredith was the daughter of Samuel Meredith who was white and Emma Kenney who was black. Due to race, Meredith and Kenney were required to ride in separate railcars on the way to their wedding in Washington DC. Their interracial marriage would cause controversy and affect Samuel\u2019s business, subsequently costing Samuel his life as he committed suicide in 1915. This heartbreaking event did not stop Amaza.\nGraduating at the top of her class from Jackson Street High School (demolished in 1970), the same year her father died, showcased her resilience. Amaza would enroll at Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute, now Virginia State University in Petersburg, Virginia and receive a teaching certificate. Over the next few years she would use her education to educate others as she taught in Botetourt County and in Lynchburg at what was Dunbar High School at the time. Unsatisfied, Meredith furthered her education and credentials by earning a degree in teaching, along with a bachelor\u2019s and master\u2019s in art education from Columbia University. This was a time in which Amaza\u2019s professional focus shifted toward the arts.\nJackson Street School, demolished in 1970\nMeredith would teach art at her alma matter, Virginia State University for five years before eventually being named department chair. She would remain department chair until she retired 23 years later in 1958. She was not only a teacher of art, but a creator as well. She traveled the east coast, from New York to North Carolina exhibiting her artwork. As she evolved, her interests did as well. Perhaps her next move was predictable considering her father\u2019s craftsmanship background.\nAmaza would delve into architecture and interior design. She was paving the way for aspiring African American female artists and architects.\nHer most notable structure in which she also resided was Azurest South, built in 1939, in the southern Chesterfield area. Lauded for its international appeal, more today than when it was erected; its curvature, lines, and window layout were foreign to the American eye but elegant nonetheless. Standing the test of time, it illustrated her precociousness. Although it was her most popular design, it wasn\u2019t her only project. She and her sister Maude Terry worked together to create a prideful vacation destination for black Americans. As segregation still had a stronghold on the status quo, Maude and Amaza eluded the rigidity of the system and challenged it with the opposite; leisure. Middle class blacks from all professions vacationed to what was known as \u201cAzurest North\u201d in Sag Harbor, NY and still do to this day\u2014some having called it home for decades.\nAzurest South, one of Meredith's most notable designs\nAzurest South\nMeredith would continue to contribute to the arts over the next few decades. After her death in 1984, her dream of building an \u201cAlumni House\u201d would be realized. After willing half of her home, Azurest South to VSU, the university would officially designate it as the Alumni House for the VSU Alumni Association in 1986.\nThe Story of Piedmont Auto in ...",

This week \u2013 Patrick Abboud, an award winning storyteller, documentary filmmaker and broadcaster shares his story with us.\nHi. How are you? I\u2019m really nervous. And people always think thats really weird because you\u2019re on the tele all the time why are you nervous? But I think this is a bit different because, you know, its personal. I talk to people about their personal shit all the time, but no one ever really gets to ask me about my personal shit. But Maeve convinced me to do this tonight.\nThis story begins with whiskey and rain\u2026Purple rain\u2026\nThey\u2019re words I borrowed from Prince\u2026an artist my brother idolized. They\u2019re also the words I uttered to my mother after years of mourning. She mourned for what she thought was the death of another son. The end of a dream that she\u2019d spent her entire adult life creating for me. You see, I was her last hope.\nMy Mum didn\u2019t have much of an adult life though. She was married at 17 in the poorest part of the north of Lebanon in a small village. Beautiful village, but a small poor village. My father was born in Palestine. He\u2019s a 1948 refugee if you don\u2019t know what that is, look it up it\u2019s very important. As a kid Dad was known as\u2026.what in Arabic we call AKROOT or misfit, little shit, troublemaker essentially. He still is. His father died when he was 11. Dad lived in Lebanon in a refugee camp. He never went to school, he stole cars, broke hearts and caused havoc.\nAnd then at 15 Dad spotted Mum. For the next two years he would court her\u2026the old school way. He\u2019d wait for her at the school gate and bring her a shiny green apple every single day without fail. True story. He had no money but he had a neighbour with an apple tree that was very healthy. He was infatuated. Obsessed. Smitten. Mum didn\u2019t pay him the least bit of attention because if she did she\u2019d probably get skinned. Gedo (that\u2019s granddad in Arabic) warned her to never speak to him because he was meshkli kbir kbir which means trouble. The entire village would say \u2018He\u2019s big danger. Big Trouble\u2019. But he persisted until Mum finally gave him eyes and she too fell in love\u2026.with his rebellion. His carefree spirit. His bad boy ways.\nMum is the golden child. One of 4 kids \u2013 the only girl. She was smart. Really smart and stunning. Like literally the smartest most beautiful girl in the village. And still is all of that and more in my world. She wore tailor made dresses that my Aunt sewed for her. Her hair \u2013 always quaffed. Her skin \u2013 impeccable. Her eyes \u2013 incandescent and her smile \u2013 infectious. The oldies cottoned onto to this burgeoning romance and forbid my Mum from walking to and from school alone anymore. She was chaperoned for months afterwards. This is a true story! Only in the village in Beirut. Actually, in the North of Lebanon, not in Beirut.\nMy Dad disappeared but he never let her feel he was gone. Every night when the village slept, he\u2019d leave a green apple at the foot of her bedroom window, every night risking his life to do so. It was a very healthy apple tree. Hundreds of apples later and a yearning that just never waned. My Mum finally gave in. One night as he left another apple my Dad managed to slide a letter into my mum\u2019s bedroom window on this particular night. Finding this letter would be the day my Mum\u2019s life changed forever. That morning she went to school wearing 2 layers of clothing, a simple white non descript dress and her school uniform on top. A lot larger than she was used to being. She left the house and no one suspected a thing. Following my Dad\u2019s instructions in the letter, she ran away from school at lunchtime. That afternoon she was married to my Dad. Yeah she\u2019s a daredevil, she still is. The plan was so elaborate and bullet proof \u2013 well almost. Mum and Dad went back to the village after 3 nights in hiding. That\u2019s a very long story to tell you, but that\u2019s for the next time. My Gedo was waiting with a rifle. Another true story, he actually tried to shoot my Dad. Thankfully my Mum\u2019s cousins and the family calmed him down, took his rifle and Mum and Dad left.\nA bit of context around that \u2013 where they came from people weren\u2019t really allowed to fall in love. Spouses were chosen for you. You got married when you were told and only if the groom\u2019s family had money that was a huge drawcard. Obviously not for Dad he had no money, a lot of apples though. It was tough but Mum and Dad were in love and really that was all that mattered. Love.\nThat\u2019s what I reminded them both of when fast forward 31 years later, a still very na\u00efve, sheltered, scared shitless me \u2013 came out. Well I didn\u2019t really come out you see \u2013 I was outed. And here\u2019s where the story gets really complicated. Everyone that knows me, knows I have a sister Fadia. Some of you in the audience might know her, I know many of you do. Isn\u2019t she gorgeous? She\u2019s not really my sister. She\u2019s a dyke. Well now she\u2019s a dyke but she wasn\u2019t before. And she outed me to my parents who they see as their daughter. Confused? Yes. It\u2019s confusing.\nAfter my parents eloped they had 2 boys Harry and Tony \u2013 my big bro\u2019s. The civil war got too much with kids and they fled Australia. Then here in Australia came my brother Jason, then me. So we are actually only a family of 4 boys \u2013 not 4 boys and a girl as most people now know us. It\u2019s just easier to tell that story\u2026because the real story hurts. It hurts so much that I\u2019ve never really had the courage to speak of it openly before now. I will try to hold back the emotion. Every time Fadia and I meet someone now \u2013 we leave this part out. And we have left it out for many many years. But now I don\u2019t want to omit the one thing that has shaped so much of who I am out of my story because it just doesn\u2019t feel right anymore. I guess I\u2019m ready to share it, and what better place to share it than the safe company of you my fellow queer brothers and sisters.\nMy dyke sister Fadia is actually my sister in law. She was married to my eldest brother Harry. Harry and I were exceptionally close. He raised me. He taught me about Prince and about punk and about the metaphysical poets and Shakespeare and sex, art and anarchy. There was 10 years between us. He the oldest. I the youngest. But our bond was timeless. Still is. Harry was my best friend. Still is. My confidant. My idol and I wanted to be just like him. Still do.\nI didn\u2019t have much of a relationship with my father. Harry was the man I looked up to. The light that guided my path in the darkest of times. And he still does. An exceptionally talented lawyer and artist and cyclist and baker and lover of theatre and really fucking weird music that I adored. The purveyor of lots of weird shit that I adored that I just never would have known about or been inspired by if he hadn\u2019t been there inspiring me. He\u2019d go to law school\u2026and study all night at home afterwards. I would literally count down the hours until he\u2019d get home.I used to sit on his bed while he studied and read his books. He\u2019d sleep 3 hours. Go to work in a bakery before law school to save money for records and guitars. His dream was to play bass in a band.\nOn the weekends he\u2019d take me vinyl shopping to all the second hand record stores. I\u2019d sit on the floor in this one record store we both really really loved. They had the coolest purple shag pile carpet\u2026.so very Prince. He\u2019d pass me a stack of records and say \u201cgo sample these\u201d. Then we\u2019d drive home and in the car he\u2019d ask me to tell him what I thought. How did the music make you feel he\u2019d say? I still hear that question in my head every time I listen to a new track, walk out of a gig and I still answer him, only now they\u2019re just words in my head that never leave my mouth. But I know he\u2019s always listening. In fact he\u2019s never stopped listening.\nHarry, my brother, my best friend was killed in a motorcycle accident.\nI was 17. My sister in law Fadia and he were married for just a few weeks before the accident. Their romance was short lived but one of the most special I have ever known. She was on the bike with him. She survived (barely) but she survived. He didn\u2019t. After years of recovery Fadia and I just decided we\u2019d tell everyone we were brother and sister because, well, it was easier that way. As you can see it is still difficult to talk about it now. Her and I grew closer and closer. But I grew further distant from my parents and my other brothers. I knew I was gay, I just didn\u2019t know how to accept it or even really comprehend it or understand it. The part of the world where my parents came from gay people were a sin, an abomination. I had no idea, I had never met another gay person.\nRight now in some regions of the Arab World, in the more conservative Islamic countries particularly, there are thousands suffering the most horrific discrimination and human rights abuses. Homosexuality is still punishable by imprisonment, and in extreme cases \u2013 even death. I think I\u2019ve said that a hundred times over the past couple of years in various things that I\u2019ve done. But it\u2019s still happening and it\u2019s horrific. Lebanon only just changed their laws this year and homosexuality is no longer considered a crime there. Thank fuck for that. So knowing how my parents perceived gay people, having lost my brother and seeing what my parents were going through after our loss as a family, I just couldn\u2019t bare to put them through any more pain.\nI tried really hard to make myself ungay. I had girlfriends. I had sex with women. True story. But my heart was black. My soul empty. I was literally robotic. Machine like. Emotionless and so deeply deeply unhappy. I had become really ill. I developed an issue with eating and basically didn\u2019t really eat and at the point where I weighed 29kg my parents decided that they\u2019d send me to Lebanon. \u201cFind himself a wife\u201d they said. They kind of said that in jest but they really did mean it, I think that was the hope. And I decided they were right. About Lebanon. Not so much the wife. I needed to get away. To find all that joy, all that happiness, all that incredible wisdom and love that my brother Harry had given me. I decided to go.\nSo I went to Lebanon. What was supposed to be a 6-week spouse hunt (in my parents mind), ended up 11 months living in a new city, with a totally new outlook on life. I discovered a community of LGBTQI Arabs that were living so underground but expressing their identity in ways I had never thought possible. I felt like I\u2019d arrived at myself again. Like I was finally at home in my homo skin. I experienced so many first times with my sexuality amidst a backdrop of war and bombs going off never too far away. It genuinely felt like every day could be your last so why not live that way. Everyone I was meeting was living that way. Be hedonistic. Be carefree. Let go. And I honestly felt free for the first time in years since my brothers death. It was an incredible feeling. It was all wrong in my head that I had to go to Lebanon to do it, but now all these later it makes so much sense.\nGrowing up in a very sheltered western Sydney Arab household, middle class mainstream gay was the only gay I knew because it\u2019s all I saw on the TV, in the magazines, everywhere I looked none of it resonated with what I felt deep inside. I just never saw me in Sydney. Oxford St was not me. White muscle boys were not me. Sauna\u2019s and sex clubs were not me. I always thought if I\u2019m gay that\u2019s who I have to be here, and it just wasn\u2019t me.\nIn Beirut, everywhere underground bar, every clandestine club night, every beach party, I saw guys like me. I felt like I could be gay and still be Arab and hey its OK. In that year it was the first time I kissed a boy (it was really good), the first time I held a mans hand (that was awkward but also nice), the first time I danced\u2026like really fucking danced. You know that feeling when you\u2019re on a dance floor and you really let it go, yeah I wish I still had those moves. It was the first time I looked at myself in the mirror in the morning and felt like I could see clearly the guy that was looking back at me. After I lost my brother that was something that was very difficult to do because we also look very much alike. So it was kind of like every time I looked at myself I was constantly seeing him. My heart was wounded and the pain of losing him never faded but it became easier because I was surrounded by all this beauty and love and acceptance. And a welcoming community of people who didn\u2019t judge me at all, and let me be who I needed to be. From that moment everything I did became about doing all the things that my brother Harry would never have the chance to.\nIt was the excuse I gave my parents about not finding a wife\u2026.I want to travel first I said\u2026.see the world. That kept them quiet for quite a long time. When I returned home to Australia, I went straight to see Fadia my sister in law. It kind of feels weird saying that because I\u2019ve honestly, until tonight, in public always said \u2018my sister\u2019 and everyone really knows us that way. She took one look at me and said. It\u2019s OK I know. We had a hug and it was pretty amazing. It took years more to tell anyone here who I really was. I kept up the facade with my folks. Always finding a new excuse. I still couldn\u2019t bare to put them through any more pain, because for them every time they saw me they also saw my brother. But that changed \u2013 again because of my sister in law.\nYears more would pass.\nFadia and I continued telling everyone we were brother and sister. But nothing prepared me for the bombshell that she dropped at breakfast one morning. She says, Patty I have something to tell you, actually she said \u201cHabibi\u201d which means my sweetheart or darling. I have something to tell you\u2026.I\u2019ve met someone. I can still feel the joy in my heart from that moment when I speak of it right now\u2026She always said her heart was dead she\u2019d never love again. She just couldn\u2019t. But she did \u2013 and this time it was with a lady. They are still together and she is fucking incredible. I adore her to bits. My sister in law remained close to my folks. One day she was at my parents place and I wasn\u2019t there. Randomly my Dad gets up from his midday slumber (my dad sleeps a lot, doesn\u2019t have any apple trees at home though. He\u2019s tried but they don\u2019t grow the same here) and says to her\u2026.tell me something is Patrick queer. He used the word \u201cqueer\u201d which is really strange for my father, he\u2019s a pretty old school Arab man and there\u2019s no way he could know that word. She was thinking \u2018how the fuck does he\u2026 why is he saying queer?\u2019. That confronted her more than the fact that he was asking the question! Seriously it was very strange. She was in shock and says well yeah he\u2019s a bit weird and different you\u2019ve always known that. He says\u2026no tell me is he a poofter. She\u2019s like \u2013 OK that makes more sense. He\u2019s always talking about that guy (who was my secret boyfriend at the time). She is stunned and totally shut down. Mum chimes in and says well you spend a lot of time with your friend that girl Dareen\u2026she\u2019s always staying at your house and she\u2019s all you ever talk about but you\u2019re not a lesbian.\nAnd in that moment both of our lives would change forever \u2013 AGAIN. My sister in law says\u2026.well yes I am. I am a lesbian now and Dareen is my girlfriend. We live together. And that was the moment I got outed by default. My folks put two and two together. I got a phone call not long after from my sister in law with the news. Jokes aside I was petrified. I thought I was dead. There\u2019s no way this is going to go down and they are going to be OK with this. She came back into town. We sat in her lounge room. We drank whiskey and listened to Purple Rain on repeat. A lot. It was our song. Still is. One of my brother Harry\u2019s all time favourites. But she looked at me and I said to her \u201cI reckon I\u2019m going to be dead tomorrow, so let\u2019s drink more whiskey and keep listening to Prince and enjoy this night together\u201d. She looked back at me and said \u201cNo \u2013 this is your time to change lives. To be bold and to take your parents through what is going to be tough journey but I know Harry will get us all through it\u201d, and she was right. Here I am now.\nI was the guy telling all my queer Arab mates don\u2019t ever come out to your parents. Just live your life in private. Be a good Arab son. Be a good Arab daughter. And now this. It was time to change that, not just for me but for so many of us. That is who I was around at the time, we were this underground community of closet Arabs. My sisters house was literally a refuge for queer Arabs who weren\u2019t out. Also a full time party house. The next day. I went home to Mum and Dad\u2019s. I walked in and Mum was wailing like another son had died. She literally sounded exactly the same as the night the police came to our door with that death knock. A night I will never forget. I felt like a knife had gone through me and I was right back there again. When I walked into a room, my Dad would walk out. He couldn\u2019t even look at me. That was really difficult to deal with. Since then, it\u2019s been an ongoing journey with Mum and Dad and my brothers. In the past few years though since I made the choice to be very public about being gay (i.e. hosting the Mardi Gras) they have actually been pretty bloody extraordinary. Actually last year when we were on set my Dad was sending me text messages saying \u2018fix your tie it\u2019s crooked\u2019 and mum was like \u2018I don\u2019t think that colour is good for you\u2019. So clearly things have progressed a lot which is great.\nAnd in fairness \u2013 my family give me so much love, even though sometimes they still find it hard, they are unwaveringly supportive. I love them with everything in me, and I would give any limb on my body for any one of my family. I am very lucky to have them. They are incredible people \u2013 I\u2019m one of the lucky few that can be out now and get text messages from my parents when I\u2019m hosting the Mardi Gras on television about my clothing and get their fashion advice. I couldn\u2019t come out for so long because I didn\u2019t want to risk losing my family. For us Arabs, family is everything. Now I can say I am gay and I am an Arab and that is totally OK. And I don\u2019t have to choose anymore which is an amazing feeling. At the end of the day I am who I am because of the beauty and richness of my culture and my family and I\u2019m so fucking proud of that. Coming out is a universal story I\u2019m sure many of us in this room have all been through our own journey down that road and it\u2019s difficult for many. For some its a breeze. For some their parents say to them \u2018when the fuck are you going to come out?\u2019 Clearly that wasn\u2019t my experience. The experience is different for everyone regardless of cultural background. But when you have that added layer of having to negotiate not only your cultural identity but also your sexuality it can cause such horrible grief. Not just for you as an individual but for many people around you who mean a lot to you. There are so many other Arab brothers and sisters still out there that feel there is no hope and no other option is to live in the closet. Many enter marriages of convenience right here in Australia\u2026I have done stories about it and it is literally happening right now.\nAs my brother Harry always said to me\u2026On those drives home from the record stores\u2026As I sat on his bed reading his books\u2026And every minute of every hour of every days since he passed\u2026.I still hear his words\u2026 He said \u201cDon\u2019t let anyone ever tell you, you can\u2019t be who you want to be. Don\u2019t ever be scared to question. Never stop dreaming and use your imagination when it gets really tough. Because your imagination will always get you through\u201d.\nThank you Harry for making me all of who I am and thankyou for giving me Fadia \u2013 my incredible sister in law who I now no longer have to tell everyone is my sister because your death and our loss is no longer a secret but a celebration of life.\nKerry Bashford: Father FigurePodcast transcripts, Queerstories",

Its origins are murky, but it may have had its roots in organizations created by stonemasons of the day. The first lodge in what would later become the United States was founded in Boston in 1733. Orange was sparsely settled prior to 1763 and the end of the French & Indian War and would not become a town until 1810. It is improbable, although not impossible, that a branch of the Masons had been founded there as early as 1750, as this postcard claims. Colonial Masons tended to be from the highest level of society, and it is unlikely that enough Masons had settled there to have a functioning group. More likely, one or perhaps two members of the Boston Masons settled in Orange during the 18th century and a later generation claimed their presence to be the origins of Masonry in western Massachusetts. In any case, by the mid-19th century Masonry was widespread, and was an important method for middle and upper-middle class men to achieve social rank and connections. The first verified charter from Orange was made in June, 1825, the Orange Lodge. It closed down in 1831 during a period of persecution against Masons but was re-established in October, 1859.",

        "raw_content": "Militant Islam Monitor > Satire > Wolfensohn and Rice pressure Israel out of existence as Russian donates helicopters to Paid Assassins\nWolfensohn and Rice pressure Israel out of existence as Russian donates helicopters to Paid Assassins\nMIM: Rice's unprecedented involvement (arm twisting) in the opening of the border crossing at Rafah to terrorists was underwritten by left wing Jewish American groups which advocate a 'Weg Mit Uns' policy. Amazingly, even some liberal Jewish groups like the ADL (who think Christians pose more of threat to Jews then Muslims), and American Jewish Congress (who have courted Musharraf by promising to put pressure on Israel for withdrawal from Gaza), saw the dangers of letting terrorists man the Rafah crossing . One commentator made the analogy that it would be as if the Americans gave the task of monitoring the US border with Mexico to Mexicans, and sardonically wrote:\n\"... The US has waived its right to monitor its border with Mexico. The Mexican government will be in full control. This just in...4,000,000 Mexicans are reportedly seeking work in Texas and California. Mexican government continues to deny any Mexicans crossed the border.... Of course, this isn't exactly the same...all the Mexicans want to do is work. Even if this were true - I doubt many would be crossing the border with explosive belts...\"\nUS. Leaders' Pressure Said to Endanger Israel\nA letter-writing campaign is underway to U.S. President Bush and Sec'y of State Condoleezza Rice. The gist is that they are gravely endangering Israel by allowing the PA to control the Gaza border.\nThe background of the letter is this week's Rafah agreement, forged under strong pressure by Secretary Rice. The agreement deals with the Rafah Crossing along the Philadelphi Route between Egypt and Gaza, which for years has been a favored spot for terrorists to smuggle in terrorists, weapons and drugs. Under the terms of the newly signed arrangements, Israel foregoes almost all control in the area, becoming vulnerable to terrorist threats from Sinai, Gaza, Judea and Samaria.\nA sample letter can be seen here.\nThe campaign is being undertaken on the backdrop of the signing of the agreement that all Israeli security bodies consider dangerous. It also takes into account the U.S. insistence that Israel do nothing to prevent Hamas terrorists from taking part in the upcoming Palestinian Authority election.\nSimilar campaigns in the past have concentrated not only on letter-writing protests to public officials, but also on writing letters to newspaper editors, calling radio programs, and other methods of \"getting the word out.\"\nThe sample letter accuses Bush and Rice, by pressuring Israel to allow Palestinian travel between Gaza and Hebron, of \"establishing a pathway for violence,\" of \"putting Israel at grave risk,\" and of \"siding with our terrorist enemies.\" It also criticizes the agreement for \"permitting the construction of a seaport in Gaza,\" and for not insisting on the cessation of terror.\n\"By not taking a stand against Hamas running in the Palestinian elections,\" the sample letter continues, \"you are forcing Israel into dangerous compromises with the Palestinians and are guaranteeing more terror in the Middle East. These untenable policies are an outrage and are counter-productive to our efforts in Iraq.\"\nIsrael Allows Russian Helicopters for PA\n14:27 Nov 18, '05 / 16 Cheshvan 5766\nRussia is donating two transport helicopters to the PA and also is contributing several dozen all-terrain vehicles, according to Moscow News. Israel previously refused to authorize their delivery.\nThe Russian government had planned to supply the Palestinian Authority (PA) with reconnaissance and patrol fighting machines but backed down \"after taking into consideration Israel's position.\" Instead, the PA will receive 30 all-terrain vehicles, said PA national security advisor Jibril Rajoub.\nIsrael previously refused to allow a Russian offer to give the PA two upgraded medium transport helicopters and armored scout vehicles, which security officials feared would be used against Israel. PA police last week wrote a letter to chairman Mahmoud Abbas stating that it would use weapons only against Israel and not against terrorists.\nPA interior ministry spokesman Colonel Tawfiq told Jane's Defense Weekly, \"The Russians are ready to provide us with ammunition and light arms but [the decision] is up to the Israeli government, which is still refusing to authorize armament provision for our forces.\"\nThe PA also is scheduled to receive from Egypt half a million bullets, donated by the United States, the China News Agency Xinhua reported.\nIsrael agreed to the shipment on condition that the bullets be used only by the PA security forces. Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz Minister previously had objected to giving the PA more weapons and ammunitions. He told the United States that the PA would have all the weapons it needed if it would disarm terrorists.\nIsrael changed its position following American pressure, based on reports from special military envoy Lt.-Gen. William Ward that the PA police could not fight off opposition terrorists because of lack of ammunition.\nThe Russian shipment of the vehicles and helicopters follows an increasingly close relationship between the PA and Russia, a member of the Quartet, which played a pivotal role in forging an agreement with Israel allowing the PA to re-open the Rafiah border crossing without direct Israeli surveillance. Other members are the United States, the United Nations and the European Union\nRussian police officers are training PA police and security forces, the PA radio service said.\n.S. Jews Pushed Rice Into 'Unprecedented' Intervention\nJewish Americans leaders urged Rice to change tactics and directly impose on Israel an agreement to re-open the Rafiah border, but even liberal leaders worry Israel's security has been breached.\nAmerican Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice last week broke her previously stated policy of guiding, but not directing, negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority (PA). Rice used \"unusual personal involvement\" to pressure Israel and the PA, according to the liberal New York Jewish daily The Forward.\nUnder the agreement, Israel agreed to drop its demand for direct surveillance at the Rafiah border and to rely on video cameras without having authority to intervene on matters of security.\nThe left-wing Israel Policy Forum, Reform movement members and Americans for Peace Now met with Rice to express their backing before her recent trip to the Middle East. The Forum also sent a letter to Rice stating the \"strong support\" that the Bush administration has \"from Jewish Americans on both sides of the aisle.\"\nThe agreement is in direct contradiction to the disengagement law, according to left wing activist Meron Benvenisti. He wrote in the Hebrew daily Haaretz, \"One should not dismiss the importance of the Rafiah agreement [which] contradicts the disengagement plan as approved by the Knesset. [It] stated, Israel will oversee and guard the external land envelope.'\"\nAbe Foxman, director of the liberal Anti-Defamation league (ADL), told The Forward, \"I am nervous about this\" because Israel's security may have been compromised. \"I worry because there is a basic asymmetry, an imbalance, between the two parties. For the Palestinians, it is about status and sovereignty, which could always be adjusted, while for Israel it is about security and trust. If you make a mistake..., there is no going back.\"\nCBS news reported that Rice staged \"a virtual all-nighter before getting both the Israelis and Palestinians to agree to the deal.\"\nA State Department spokesman dodged a question by a reporter who began to ask, \"It's the first time that this administration is directly implicated in the negotiations...\" Spokesman Adam Erelie interrupted the reporter and replied, \"Not really. No, we've been involved very directly and very intensively for a long time.\" Rice said that she still is a\" big believer\" in letting Israel and the PA conduct their own negotiations but added that direct intervention sometimes is needed.\nHer direct intervention also was questioned by David Twersky, director of international affairs for the American Jewish Congress. He said Rice's shuttle diplomacy for \"a very small, modest achievement just shows how bad things are.\" What's going to happen when there is something really important to discuss?\"",

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb \u00bb The Giant Isopod\nA giant isopod is any of the almost 20 species of large isopods (crustaceans distantly related to shrimp and crabs, which are decapods) in the genus Bathynomus. They are abundant in the cold, deep waters of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans. Bathynomus giganteus, the species upon which the generitype is based, is often considered the largest isopod in the world, though other comparably poorly known species of Bathynomus may reach a similar size (e.g., B. kensleyi). The giant isopods are noted for their resemblance to the much smaller common woodlouse (pill bug), to which they are related.\nFrench zoologist Alphonse Milne-Edwards was the first to describe the genus in 1879 after his colleague Alexander Agassiz collected a juvenile male B. giganteus from the Gulf of Mexico; this was an exciting discovery for both scientists and the public, as at the time the idea of a lifeless or \"azoic\" deep ocean had only recently been refuted by the work of Sir Charles Wyville Thomson and others. No females were recovered until 1891.\nGiant isopods are of little interest to most commercial fisheries, but are infamous for attacking and destroying fish caught in trawls, and they are eaten in Taiwan. Specimens caught in the Americas and Japan are sometimes seen in public aquariums.\nGiant isopods are a good example of deep-sea gigantism, as they are far larger than the \"typical\" isopods that are up to 5 centimetres (2.0 in). Bathynomus can be divided into \"giant\" species where the adults generally are between 8 and 15 centimetres (3.1 and 5.9 in) long and \"supergiant\" species where the adults generally are between 17 and 50 centimetres (6.7 and 19.7 in). One of the \"supergiants\", B. giganteus, reaches an average length between 19 and 36 centimetres (7.5 and 14.2 in), with a maximum weight and length of approximately 1.7 kilograms (3.7 lb) and 76 centimetres (30 in) respectively.\nA study of the seasonal abundance of B. giganteus juveniles and adults suggests a peak in reproductive capacity in the spring and winter months. This is observed to be due to a shortage of food during the summer. Mature females develop a brood pouch or marsupium when sexually active, the pouch being formed by overlapping oostegites or brood plates grown from the medial border of the pereiopods. The young isopods emerge from the marsupium as miniatures of the adults, known as mancae. This is not a larval stage: the mancae are fully developed, lacking only the last pair of pereiopods.",

        "raw_content": "Council favors Prop. 9\nRecall petition against Wells fails\nby Doug McMurdo and Rose Egelhoff\nThe state-mandated requirement to change Grand County\u2019s form of government might be controversial, but five members of the Grand County Council made one point perfectly clear at Tuesday\u2019s meeting: Voting \u201cYes\u201d on Proposition 9 on Nov. 6, Election Day, is the only way to ensure voters have a choice in the matter. Simultaneously, the petition to recall County Council Vice Chair Curtis Wells has failed.\nOn Tuesday evening, Sept. 4, the county council, with practically no discussion, unanimously approved arguments in favor of Prop. 9. Five council members were in attendance. Curtis Wells was absent and excused, and the council is lacking a seventh member due to Patrick Trim\u2019s resignation.\nAccording to packet literature provided to the council, \u201cIf the county voters vote \u201cNo,\u201d the county will be required by law to change its current form of government to a three-person commission by 2020.\u201d It would automatically happen.\nHere\u2019s the question as it will appear on the ballot: \u201cShall a study committee be appointed to consider and possibly recommend a change in Grand County\u2019s form of government?\u201d\nGov. Gary Herbert on March 15 signed into law House Bill 224. The law offers four options \u2013 but none of them are what is currently in place and consistently approved by voters for the past two decades in Grand County.\nThe current choices are: A three-person commission; an expanded five- to seven-member commission; a council with an elected executive with veto power; or a council with an appointed manager who has more authority than an administrator.\nIf voters approve the ballot question this year, the next step will be to vote on the study committee\u2019s recommendation in 2019 following roughly a year of studying the issue with citizen involvement. The new form of government must be in place by 2020.\nWells, in Washington, D.C., to discuss federal land matters regarding \u201cpayments in lieu of taxes,\u201d informed The Times-Independent Wednesday, Sept. 5, that a recall effort against him will not happen. The Grand County clerk/auditor\u2019s office confirmed that insufficient signatures for recall were collected, so the recall petition was not turned into their office.\nMoab resident David Lyle had spearheaded the recall effort. Lyle was involved in the 1992 effort to change the Grand County government from a three-person commission to its current form, a seven-person council. He said that with three commissioners, it was easy for two to make deals and exclude a third perspective. Lyle said that Wells\u2019 work on HB 224 was a motivating factor behind the recall petition. \u201c[Wells] is an at-large representative of every person in this county and he says that he represents the people in Grand County, but when more than two-thirds of the people in this community are liberal and he\u2019s trying to do away with a liberal, working form of government for something that is deliberately partisan, I\u2019m sorry, you are not representing your constituents,\u201d Lyle told The Times-Independent when he instigated the recall last spring.\nRegarding the petition\u2019s failure, Lyle told The Times, \u201cBottom line is I didn\u2019t have quite enough signatures. I\u2019m sorry it didn\u2019t work.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "AgeCheq Secures $1M to Protect Child Privacy in Mobile Apps and Games\nAngel investors give initial financing to company that helps game developers comply with the federal Children\u2019s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and gives parents control over children\u2019s online privacy\nYORK, Pa. \u2013 MobilityWire\u00ae \u2013 February 11, 2014\nAgeCheq (www.agecheq.com) today announced the closing of its $1 million Series A investment round. The round was funded by angel investors from Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C. in less than six weeks. AgeCheq was founded in 2013 to provide a complete COPPA compliance solution for mobile game developers who must comply with the law as well as to help parents regain control over their children\u2019s online privacy. Since its public launch in Los Angeles at the GDC/Next Game Developer\u2019s Convention in November, AgeCheq has been actively demonstrating its COPPA compliance solution to leading mobile game publishers.\n\u201cThis financing allows us to complete the build out of our technology to handle the needs of the entire mobile app industry,\u201d said Roy Smith, founder and CEO of AgeCheq. \u201cAt scale, our system will readily handle 750 million parental game approvals per day, comfortably exceeding the needs of even today\u2019s red hot mobile game market. Because game publishers risk huge fines for ignoring or improperly complying with the COPPA law, we created AgeCheq to drastically reduce the effort and cost of compliance. AgeCheq also gives parents easy-to-use tools to protect their children\u2019s privacy.\u201d\nCreated during the Clinton administration and enacted in 2000, COPPA was passed to protect children under the age of 13 as they used the Internet. With the meteoric rise of mobile devices and the new privacy issues that accompanied them, COPPA was revised in 2012 to cover mobile games. The revised law went into effect on July 1, 2013.\nAccording to a study recently conducted by GfK Roper Public Affairs, more than half of children eight to twelve years of age have a cell phone. On average, children\u2019s mobile devices have more than six gaming applications and are used daily with an average playing time of just under an hour. Every hour a child spends playing games or downloading apps on mobile devices increases the potential for sensitive personal information to be captured and shared without a parent\u2019s consent.\nA December 2012 FTC study on mobile apps for kids stated that most mobile app developers failed to meet the original COPPA compliance standards. The study also found many mobile apps continue to share personal information, such as device ID, geolocation and phone numbers, with third parties without disclosure to parents. Under the law, developers who do not comply with COPPA are subject to fines of up to $16,000 per affected child, and up to 20 years of annual privacy audits.\nWhy This is Important for App and Game Publishers:\nWith AgeCheq, developers and publishers can eliminate the cost and effort of creating their own COPPA compliance technology. AgeCheq delivers a complete solution to verify parents\u2019 identities; provides them with simple-to-understand disclosure statements about the information each app collects, stores, and shares; and offers a streamlined parental \u201cdashboard\u201d showing approved apps and enabling parents to revoke their approval.\nWhy This is Important for Parents:\nAgeCheq provides parents a single-sign-on dashboard where they can easily see, and then approve or disapprove what is going on behind the scenes within AgeCheq enabled mobile apps their children use. After initial account setup, AgeCheq streamlines all COPPA-mandated parental interaction.\nAgeCheq is the mobile industry\u2019s only complete \u201cCOPPA compliance ecosystem,\u201d designed to team regulators, parents and responsible developers together to regain control of children\u2019s online privacy. Founded by seasoned mobile app and game industry technologists, AgeCheq offers app publishers a frictionless path to make their apps and games COPPA compliant, at no cost. AgeCheq is platform-agnostic and can be integrated into an existing app and tested within a day.

The teams, from Gaston and Mecklenburg counties, called off the search later that evening and resumed the following day. The body was recovered around 5 p.m.\nThe dive team and other crews also had to contend with the weather as they worked around rain and storms.\n\u201cWeather will put a damper on a search and recovery operation. If there is lightning in the area or inclement weather, you can\u2019t search,\u201d said Sgt. Mark Faulkenberry, leader of the Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department\u2019s Lake Patrol Unit.\nFaulkenberry sent his crews to the area to handle site security and keep the public out as teams searched.\nThis isn\u2019t the fi rst time an incident like this has occurred, Faulkenberry said, citing several drownings from people jumping from the bridge over the last 10-15 years.\nHe warns that not only is the activity of jumping unsafe, it\u2019s also illegal and had they been caught, they could have faced charges.\n\u201cWhen you are jumping from a structure, you can\u2019t see underwater and you can\u2019t see the pylons or how far out they go,\u201d Faulkenberry said of the risk. \u201cYou don\u2019t know if there is something underneath the water. Plus, if you are jumping from that height, you could hit it rough and get the breath knocked out of you and you panic and that leads to tragedy. I don\u2019t know if that\u2019s what happened in this case, but it\u2019s one possibility.\u201d\nFaulkenberry said his patrol takes calls about people being seen jumping very seriously and would have stopped them if they\u2019d been seen.\nAs is routine, the incident is still under investigation.\nCureton\u2019s friends and family have taken to social media to express their sympathy, posting pictures and messages, some even paying tribute through tattoos.\n\u201cI am honored to call you my brother and my best friend,\u201d said one post. \u201cYou passed on such positive character traits to the world and the people who knew you that your legacy will live on forever.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Most Americans are annoyed by online ads \u2014 but many would rather just endure them than pay up, according to a new survey\nLINK: morningconsult.com \u279a | Posted by: Shan Wang | September 25, 2017\nIt\u2019s no surprise that people don\u2019t like to be interrupted by ads while they\u2019re reading a news article or watching TV or listening to music. Despite a strong dislike of advertising \u2014 from ads on websites to ads on social media to TV commercials to ads on music streaming platforms \u2014 Americans also appear to be reluctant to pay for an ad-free experience, according to a survey conducted by digital research firm Morning Consult.\nSeventy-five percent of the U.S. adults surveyed by Morning Consult said they felt internet ads (social media ads got their own category) were \u201cintrusive.\u201d Sixty-nine percent felt social media ads were intrusive, 66 percent felt the same about music streaming ads, and 65 percent felt that way about TV ads. Sixty percent did report that they find television ads \u201centertaining,\u201d but the share of people surveyed who found any of the other types of ads entertaining all fell below 50 percent. (The poll of 4,402 American adults was conducted between August 24 and September 8 of this year.)\nDespite the lack of interest in most types of ads, 67 percent of those surveyed said they wouldn\u2019t be willing to pay more for an ad-free version of a service. The survey also asked what one-time annual fee respondents might be willing to pay to get rid of ads:\nWhen asked how much they\u2019d be willing to pay in a yearly one-time fee in order to avoid ads on various media, the average price was $31 for television ads, and the figures fell into the $20 range for other platforms, including social media and news websites. That\u2019s less than most people\u2019s monthly phone bills and just enough to cover three months of the most basic service on Netflix, which doesn\u2019t have ads.\nThat being said, younger viewers are willing to pay more, on average: Adults aged 34 and younger would pay about $41 to avoid television ads and just under $36 to eliminate ads on social media. Younger viewers also more likely than other age groups to use ad blockers, with 41 percent of those aged 18-29 saying they use one while browsing the web.\nThirty-two percent of those in the 18-29 demographic are also willing to pay to use an ad blocker, 8 percentage points higher than U.S. adults as a whole.\nYounger consumers are a bunch to watch: This year\u2019s Reuters Institute digital news report found that in the U.S., the proportion of younger people paying for online news rose from 4 percent in 2016 to 18 percent in 2017 (there wasn\u2019t much change on this front in other countries the report tracked).\n2) @dcnorg has research showing audiences will absolutely pay for trusted News and Entertainment. But agree we want advertising success.\n\u2014 Jason Kint (@jason_kint) September 24, 2017\nOnly seen a draft. Next month will push to release as much as we can. It\u2019s an internal member-only benchmark.\nThe Morning Consult writeup is available here.\nWang, Shan. \"Most Americans are annoyed by online ads \u2014 but many would rather just endure them than pay up, according to a new survey.\" Nieman Journalism Lab.

It's a decision they'll both regret.\nTwo other storylines run throughout the novel: the voluntary disappearance of a local man and the arrest of a famous actor, Callum McCallum, for the murder of a man called Harrison Monk. As the novel progresses, Jane's involvement with both events gradually deepens. She finally uncovers the truth behind her near neighbour\u2019s disappearance, and in doing so, also reveals what really happened on the night of Harrison Monk\u2019s death.",

Forty years into his career, writer-director Woody Allen was questioned at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival by critics who wondered whether moviemaking had become a habit as opposed to a passion. The then nearly 70-year-old Allen answered with his typical dry humor. Allen told the critics that filmmaking served as a diversion from his personal terrors and neuroses, which he had yet to conquer. \"I make them because, if I don't make them, I don't have distractions,\" Allen said.\nA light meal is served at each of the films and discussion is led by Deane Tucker, PhD, Chadron State College.",

        "raw_content": "As if the excitement of Birthdaversary week isn't enough, this is also the first week of Spring Quarter. This means I am back in school after two weeks of no classes, something I hardly even noticed in the whirlwind that is my life just right now. It didn't help that I spent a good chunk of the break laid up with a staph infection (what the heck, universe?!) or that a couple of my jobs magically produced extra work during that time.\nBut - all of that is tangential to this post. I am very excited about one of my classes this quarter - Religions of the Book. It is, according to the syllabus, \"an introduction to the historical environment and central traditions of the Hebrew Bible, New Testament and Qur\u2019\u0101n.\" Really, it's a great chance to be in dialogue with all three traditions and there is a ton to learn.\nI'm still not to the point of this post yet, though, but here it is: our professor requires each student to keep a blog while in the class. This could be intimidating (a couple folks were pretty confused about how to go about it) but I think it's a great idea. I've been in classes that required \"journaling\" and that was never successful for me. I'd just write the whole thing at the last minute. This will be better, and a great way for me to get thoughts out as we go through.\nI don't expect this to be interesting to anyone who reads here, but if you are interested in reading through my reflections on Judaism, Christianity, and Islam as I learn about each - especially Islam which I've had no formal education on - you are invited to! I'll be writing about it at Speaking of Stars, which is the title of a poem by Yakov Azriel, a Jewish poet. The poem is about God's promise to Abraham, a sacred story that all three religions share. Any and all are welcome! (and I'll still be blogging about all the truly important things, like babyteeth and birthdaversaries, here.)\nIt's wonderful that your classes are exciting and inspiring to you. I know very little about all this but as an educator I'm interested in seeing how the use of blogging works out in that context. I like reading your thoughts so I will make sure that I have a look.x",

        "raw_content": "Apparently I\u2019m really getting into mystery novels. I thoroughly enjoyed Alexander McCall Smith\u2019s The No. 1 Ladies\u2019 Detective Agency. Set in Botswana, Smith tells the story of Mma (aka Precious) Ramotswe as she sets up her detective agency. The novel features one overall mystery, as well as smaller problems that Ramotswe solves.\nThings I love about this book: fascinating (and humorous!) characters, clean light mysteries, and the faraway setting. I do like the fact that there were smaller mysteries; this made it easier for me to set the book down when I needed to.\nOne thing I wonder about. . . Alexander McCall Smith is not from Botswana \u2013 how accurate is his portrayal of life there? I didn\u2019t catch anything \u201cwrong,\u201d but then again, I\u2019m not from Botswana.\nPosted in Fiction\t| Tagged Botswana, Mystery\t| Leave a reply\nEncyclopedia Brown books were my first mystery books as a child, followed by Nancy Drew in elementary school, and then John Grisham novels in junior high. I really don\u2019t think I\u2019ve read many mysteries since then, so I was delighted when I discovered Alan Bradley\u2019s The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie. I don\u2019t enjoy gory details or vicious murders, so this book suited me well.\nI love the fact that the narrator, Flavia de Luce, is an 11-year-old girl. And, although the mystery does involve a body in her family\u2019s cucumber patch, I could handle the drama. I\u2019m delighted to say that I was unable to figure it out ahead of time \u2013 I hate when mysteries are too predictable! I actually listened to it, and the reader was British, so perhaps that also added to my fascination. I see that Alan Bradley has written several other Flavia de Luce novels, so I don\u2019t think I\u2019m done yet!\nPosted in Fiction\t| Tagged Audiobooks, Mystery\t| 2 Replies",

Within a couple of years, The Temperance Seven hit the jackpot when their recording of You're Driving Me Crazy shot to the top of the UK hit parade, closely followed by Pasadena.\nToday, John is still a busy banjo player and entertainer with Bill Posters Will Be Band, offering 'a complete musical variety show suitable for a wide range of functions', and he also continues his graphic design activities.\n'You're Driving me Crazy' and 'Pasadena' available on The Very Best of the Temperance Seven (Goodmusic.co.uk).",

        "raw_content": "Hogg wild\n\"The Children of Huang Shi\" is a dull dramatization of \u0097 and ill-fitting testament to \u0097 British journalist George Hogg's experiences in war torn China.\nIt doesn't seem all that long ago that the documentary \"Nanking\" (which chronicled a harrowing chapter in Japan's occupation of China, circa 1937) was released and here, already, is its large-scale, real-life counterpart, a drama covering exceedingly similar events.\nDirected by: Roger Spottiswoode.\nProduced by: Arthur Cohn, Wieland Schulz-Keil.\nWritten by: Jane Hawksley, James MacManus.\nCast: Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Radha Mitchell, Chow Yun-Fat, Michelle Yeoh.\nCinematography: Xiaoding Zhao.\nEdited by: Geoffrey Lamb.\nMusic by: David Hirschfelder.\nProduction design by: Kym Barrett, Wenyan Gao.\nArt direction by: Kym Barrett, Wenyan Gao.\nCostumes by: Kym Barrett, Wenyan Gao.\n\"The Children of Huang Shi\" tells the true story of one George Hogg (Jonathan Rhys Meyers), an inexperienced British journalist who smuggled himself into the besieged city of Nanjing (with a j) to document first-hand the atrocities being handed down to its Chinese citizenry. Hogg is quickly rescued from inevitable execution at the hands of the Japanese imperialists by partisan resistance leader Chen Hansheng (Chow Yun-Fat) and sent to the northwest village of Huang Shi to convalesce before moving on to the front.\nOnce there, Hogg (or \"Pig\" as his papers incorrectly identify him) becomes reluctant mentor to a babble of Chinese orphans while arousing the interest/ardor of Lee Pearson (Radha Mitchell), an American nurse living and working in the region. Fortunately the fledgling writer can distinguish between durum wheat and red lentils and with Pearson's capable assistance, along with that of Hansheng, Hogg eventually leads some 60 children to safety along China's spectacular yet treacherous Silk Road.\nThe kids are all right but the flat romance between Hogg and Pearson isn't worthy of our attention. If anything it detracts from the true drama, one that has been seriously watered down by screenwriters Jane Hawksley and James MacManus and director Roger Spottiswoode (who, between you and me, seemed eminently more comfortable guiding the likes of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mel Gibson, and Sylvester Stallone through films like \"The 6th Day,\" \"Air America,\" and \"Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot\").\nThe kids are all right but the flat romance between Hogg and Pearson isn't worthy of our attention.\nWhile decently made and well intentioned (and other faint praises that serve to damn it further), \"The Children of Huang Shi\" is a sugar coated history lesson that plays like \"The Sound of Music\" without Rodgers and Hammerstein's hum-able show tunes (at least that film had songs, not to mention charm, staying power, and a few of my favorite things \u0097 the best \"'Huang Shi\" has to offer up in that regard is a lonely goat herd).\nRhys Meyers comes across as too clean cut for the lead, Mitchell too pretty. Plus you've got the charismatic Chow Yun-Fat and the enigmatic Michelle Yeoh as Madame Wang to contend with. Er, could we get some ugly people here please! It's all too clean cut, in fact. Too sterile. Too nicey-nice. Too climb-every-mountainous. It's turgid and top-heavy. Worse still it's neither interesting nor engaging and that's a crime, given the subject matter.\nFor a closer, more harrowing look at how war takes its terrible toll on the innocent see the afore-mentioned \"Nanking\" (it's available on DVD). Alternatively, rent 2000's \"Into the Arms of Strangers: Stories of the Kindertransport,\" a fascinating account of the relocation of thousands of Jewish children from Germany into foster homes prior to the start of World War II. And, of course, there's always Robert Wise's Oscar\ufffd winner (with Julie Andrews' indomitable governess Maria) if you're in the mood for something a tad lighter.\n\"'Huang Shi\"'s children, alas, deserve better care.\nReader comments on The Children of Huang Shi:\nI think its a good movie from Le Cha Da, May 2, 2010\nPost a comment on \"The Children of Huang Shi\"",

The zero slot is green and the other numbers are either red or black. The evenly balanced wheel, usually made of polished wood, turns on a spindle. The dealer spins the wheel in one direction and releases a small ivory ball in the opposite direction into the outer edge of the wheel, where it circles many times before slowing down. As the ball loses momentum it falls toward the center of the wheel and drops into one of the slots. It may bounce around from slot to slot but eventually it settles into a single slot to end that round of the game.\nTop Line (First 4 numbers: 0, 1, 2, 3) 8:1\nSingle \u0097 placing a bet on individual numbers (like 0, 4, 23 or 35). Winning singles bets are paid at 35-to-1.\nTriple \u0096 placing a bet on three touching numbers. The only triple bets are the intersections of (0, 1, 2) or (2, 3, 0). If the ball lands in any one of the numbers touching a triple intersection, the odds paid are 11-to-1.\nTop Line \u0097 the first 4 numbers at the top of the grid (0, 1, 2, 3). If the ball lands in any one of these four spots, odds are paid at 8-to-1. To make this bet, place your chips on the left-hand side of the grid at the horizontal line separating the 0 spot from the 1, 2, 3 row.\nColumns \u0097 a vertical column of numbers in the grid (for example; 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36). You place your bet outside the grid at the bottom of the column, in the boxes marked with \"2 to 1\". If any one of the numbers in the column comes up, odds are paid at 2-to-1. Zero (0) is not part of any column.\nOdd/Even \u0097 bet on whether the winning number is odd or even (excluding 0). Winning bets are paid at 1-to-1.\nTop Line (First 4 numbers: 0, 1, 2, 3)",

        "title": "Oshun \u00bb Canadian Teacher of Inuit Children Wins Global Teacher Prize 2017",
        "raw_content": "I\u2019ve always been intrigued that in many countries (the UK among them) we have not put teachers on the same high pedestal that we place doctors. We wouldn\u2019t want an untrained medic operating on us, so why would we want anyone other than the best teachers and support staff playing with our children\u2019s minds? Countries that value their teachers, accord the profession respect, and support them in the class room, with resources, as well as decent pay, get results \u2013 look no further than Singapore and Finland. Both these countries have had national teacher awards for years.\nSo it was with great excitement that I attended the Third Global Teacher Prize which followed the Global Skills and Education Forum (GESF) in Dubai. Supported by the Varkey Foundation GESF brought together over 40 ministers, and former Prime Ministers and 2000 delegates from 140 countries for two days of intensive and dynamic ideas exchange.\nWith the Global Partnership for Education Board Chair, Julia Gillard, the 27th Prime Minister of Australia, we had a packed schedule. The event started with a powerful reminder that, almost 3 years since 276 girls were kidnapped in Chibok, there are still 195 in captivity. Two girls came to GESF, one had escaped following the kidnapping by jumping from a truck into the forest at night. The other had lost her family, murdered by Boko Haram fighters. They gave harrowing testimony of the impact on them personally, and on the community. Parents are now afraid to send their children to school, especially their daughters.\nOften called the \u2018Davos\u2019 of education, the theme for this year\u2019s GESF was Creating Global Citizenship. One of the highlights was undoubtedly Julia Gillard debating the motion \u2018This House Believes, that Schools should Teach National over Global Values\u2019 opposite Michael Gove MP, the architect of Brexit. It was a lively, good humoured debate with some cracking lines.\nJulia Gillard comparing Gove to a latter-day James Bond saving the UK man on the street from the risk he might not be able to buy a pint, watch the football and have a curry, had the audience in stitches. Though Gove\u2019s response has to be seen to be believed (watch here). In the end the motion was defeated, though there was violent agreement between the teams on many issues.\nOn the second day, we organised a public briefing with Dubai Cares focused on Early Childhood Care and Education. It\u2019s great to see this issue coming up the agenda, finally there is a recognition that this under resourced area needs attention across the sectors, not just from the education side. Ministers from Nepal and Tanzania attended. Both countries have prioritised early years and alongside generating improved outcomes, they are also seeing much improved retention rates as children progress into primary school. We were honoured to be joined by one of the Teachers on the shortlist for the Global Teacher Prize, Michael Wamaya. A teacher of ballet in Kibera slum in Nairobi he has seen first hand the impact on learning faced by the poorest children. \u2018Their shelters are close together, with tin roofs. They are noisy, especially when it rains. Children do not sleep well. They rise early, often before the sun, maybe to help get younger children to get up or fetch water. On their walk to pre-school, perhaps on their own, or maybe with an older sibling, often on an empty stomach, they see things no young child should see: people on the streets, sometimes drunk, or fighting, even dead bodies. They arrive at school, tired and hungry. Kindergartens need to take account of this and provide food, and allow time during the day for them to sleep, otherwise they are too exhausted to learn.\u2019\nThe culmination of the two days was the Global Teacher Award Prize ceremony. Last year the award was presented over video by the Pope. What could top that? The opening music from Andrea Bocelli was sensational.\nThen in a moment of high drama the screens came to life and Bear Grylls jumped from a helicopter, landed on the Atlantis beach and ran into the venue with a gold statuette!\nWhen the winner was announced by Thomas Pesquet, an astronaut on the International Space Station, (watch here) we knew that Varkey were serious about making this prize bigger than the planet!\nThe winner was Maggie MacDonnell, a Canadian teacher working in an Inuit community called Salluit. Her community is so remote it is only accessible by air. Tragically, this isolated and harsh environment has led the small 1,300 strong community to suffer the highest youth suicide rates in the country. In a poignant speech there was hardly a dry eye in the house as she described the horror of attending 10 funerals of young people, some of whom went to her school who had taken their lives in the previous two years. \u2018When we come into school the next day and we see the empty desk it\u2019s simply heartbreaking.\u2019 Her energy and inspirational commitment to bring about change through education in this community that has struggled to attract or retain good teachers was commended by Canadian PM Justin Trudeau. As she touchingly brought two of her students onto the stage, and thanked the His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President and PM of Dubai, for shining a light on this small minority community, it was hard to imagine a more deserving winner. And yet, each of the remarkable teacher on the short list has a fantastic story of commitment and drive to tell. It was a thoroughly inspiring few days!",

Since these fair-use conditions were not written specifically with regard to purchased programs used in conjunction with MATV systems, we are requesting the school include the following statement on all purchase orders for video tape programs as a condition of sales: \"Video cassette programs listed on this purchase order will be used in accordance with congressional guidelines as to their application of Section 107 Copyright Fair Use for Educational Purposes, including program distribution via closed-circuit MATV systems for multiclassroom utilization, limited to the confines of a single educational institution.\"\n\"Home Video\" Club School Memberships\nThe Congress, judges, and attorneys cannot agree on the legality of school memberships in a \"home video\" club; therefore, this practice will not be permitted. These clubs were designed for home use only, not public performance. A school classroom has been determined to be a public performance, which is the main reason a teacher cannot tape off-air at home and use the program in class. School memberships in such clubs is a questionable practice. The major concern here is the appropriateness and content of program being introduced into the curriculum. Programs acquired for a school collection or the DIMC have been previewed by educators, or at least reviewed by professional journals before purchase, and have been deemed appropriate for specific grade levels.\n\"Home Video\" Club Teacher Memberships/To be used in Class\nTeachers are advised not to rent \"for-home-use-only\" video tapes through a personal club membership for school (public performance) use. This practice is no different than taping off-air at home and bringing to school. Tapes rented from a personal club membership have not been determined to meet fair-use guidelines and will, therefore, not be used in a classroom situation.\nTelevision and Radio News Programs\nTo record local, regional, or network newscasts. To record interviews concerning current news events. To record on-the-spot coverage of news events. To distribute a limited number of reproductions of such a program on a loan basis.\nUse of recorded news programs or parts of news programs to produce compilation works without written permission. Sale of recorded news programs which include excerpts of news programs without permission. Editing of original news program format to condense or paraphrase information. Permissible use doesn't apply to documentary, magazine-format, or other public affairs broadcasts dealing with subjects of general interest.\nGuidelines for Books and Periodicals\nSingle Copying for Teachers A single copy may be made of any of the following by or for a teacher at his/her individual request for his/her scholarly research or use in teaching or preparation to teach a class: A chapter from a book. An article from a periodical or newspaper. A short story, short essay, or short poem, whether or not from a collective work. A chart, graph, diagram, drawing, cartoon, or picture from a book, periodical, or newspaper.\nMultiple copies (not to exceed in any event more than one copy per pupil in a course) may be made by or for the teacher giving the course for classroom use or discussion provided that: The copying meets the tests of brevity and spontaneity. The copying meets the cumulative effect test. Each copy includes a notice of copyright.\nGuidelines for Music (Printed or Recorded for Rehearsal)\nEmergency copying to replace purchased copies which for any reason are not available for an imminent performance provided purchased replacement copies shall be substituted in due course. For academic purposes other than performance, single or multiple copies of excerpts of works may be made provided that the excerpts do not comprise a part of the whole which would constitute a performable unit such as a section, movement, or area but in no case more than ten percent of the whole work. The number of copies shall not exceed one copy per pupil. Printed copies which have been purchased may be edited or simplified provided that the fundamental character of the work is not distorted or the lyrics, if any, altered or lyrics added if none exist. A single copy of recordings of performances by students may be made for evaluation or rehearsal purposes and may be retained by the educational institution or individual teacher. A single copy of a sound recording (such as a tape, disc, or cassette) of copyrighted music may be made from sound recordings owned by an educational institution or an individual teacher for the purpose of constructing aural exercises or examinations and may be retained by the educational institution or individual teacher. (This pertains only to the copyright of the music itself and not to any copyright which may exist in the sound recording.)\nCopying to create or replace or substitute for anthologies, compilations, or collective works. Copying of or from \"consumable works used in the course of study or of teaching, including workbooks, exercises, standardized tests and answer sheets, and like material. Copying for the purpose of performance, except as in permissible uses. Copying for the purpose of substituting for the purchase of music, except as in permissible uses. Copying without inclusion of the copyright notice which appears on the printed copy.\nGuidelines for Audio Recordings (Classroom Use)\nA single copy of recordings of performances by students may be made for evaluation or rehearsal purposes and may be retained by the educational institution or individual teacher. A single copy of a sound recording (such as a tape, disc, or cassette) of copyrighted music may be made from sound recordings owned by an educational institution or an individual teacher for the purpose of constructing aural exercises or examinations and may be retained by the educational institution or individual teacher. (This pertains only to the copyright of the music itself and not to any copyright which may exist in the sound recording.)\nGuidelines for Audiovisual Works (Classroom Use)\nCreating a series of slides from multiple sources, such as magazines, books, encyclopedias, etc., as long as one doesn't exceed ten percent of the photographs in any one source unless the source specifically prohibits any photographic reproduction. Creating a single overhead transparency from a single page of a consumable workbook. Creating multiple overhead transparencies from a variety of sources, not exceeding ten percent of the total content of any one source, unless this type of reproduction is specifically prohibited. Excerpting sections from a filmstrip to create slides, as long as one doesn't exceed ten percent of the entire work or excerpt the very creative essence of the work. Reproducing selective slides from a slide series, as long as one doesn't exceed ten percent of the entire production, excerpt the very creative essence of the work, or violate a specific prohibition for this type of reproduction. Excerpting sections of a 16-mm film to be included in a locally produced video tape, not to be shown over cable television, not to exceed ten percent of the whole, and not excerpting the essence of the work. Note: It is permissible to duplicate visual or audio materials of a nondramatic literary work in order to provide materials for the blind or deaf. In addition, these and other copyrighted materials may be legally transmitted to blind or deaf individuals via cable systems.\nNo duplication of cassette tapes unless reproduction rights were given at time of purchase. No reproduction of musical works (i.e., records/tapes) or converting into another form for use (i.e., records to tape, cassette, or video).* No off-air video taping of programs for retention in school collection unless cleared for instructional television by local television channels or a paid licensing fee. No reproduction of \"ditto masters\" produced commercially if they are available for sale separately unless reproduction rights are stated by manufacturer. No reproduction of any audio-visual work in its entirety. No conversion of one media format into another (i.e., 16-mm film to video tape, slides to video tape, filmstrip to slide or video tape). No narrating entire stories onto audio tape. *Note: Protection under copyright is only for sounds as they exist. This doesn't prevent a performance or recording in which sounds are imitated. Infringement occurs when all or a substantial portion of the actual sounds are reproduced. Mere imitation doesn't constitute copyright infringement.\nGuidelines for Computer Disk / Computer Software\nMaking one archival copy to serve as a backup copy in case the master or working copy fails. Use of that archival copy while a replacement disk is ordered.\nProhibitions (Unless Stated Otherwise by the Publisher for a Specific Program):\nCopying for the purpose of making additional copies to be used concurrently with the master or working program. Use of the archival or backup copy concurrently with the master or working program. Multiple loading. Networking. Note 1: Many publishers of software programs provide the user with two program disks-- a master (working) disk and a backup (archival) disk. Unless stated otherwise by the publisher, the backup copy is for archival purposes only; it is not intended to be used as a second copy of the program. Note 2: Exceptions to the statement on copying would include most public domain software, personally created programs, and those certain programs which include a statement of permission by the publisher. Note 3: The District School Board of Pasco County is a licensed member of the Minnesota Educational Computing Consortium (M.E.C.C.). M.E.C.C. programs are copyrighted material. Only the DIMC at the present time holds legal permission to copy these disks. The legal license to copy these disks at the school level has expired. If additional copies of these disks are needed, they may be ordered through the school media specialist.\nWarnings of Copyright for Use by Certain Libraries and Archives\nA \"display warning of copyright\" is to be displayed at the place where orders for copies or phonorecords are accepted by certain libraries and archives. \"Order warning of copyright\" is to be included on printed forms supplied by certain libraries and archives and used by their patrons for ordering copies or phonorecords.\nA display warning of copyright and an order warning of copyright shall consist of a verbatim reproduction of the following notice, printed in such size and form and displayed in such manner as to comply with paragraph 3 of this section:\nForm and Manner of Use:\nA display warning of copyright shall be printed on heavy paper or other durable material in type at least 18 points in size and shall be displayed prominently, in such manner and location as to be clearly visible, legible, and comprehensible to a casual observer within the immediate vicinity of the place where orders are accepted. An order warning of copyright shall be printed within a box located prominently on the order form itself, either on the front side of the form or immediately adjacent to the space calling for the name or signature of the person using the form. The notice shall be printed in type size no smaller than that used predominantly throughout the form, and in no case shall the type size be smaller than eight points. The notice shall be printed in such manner as to be clearly legible, comprehensible, and readily apparent to a casual reader of the form. The copyright law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted materials. Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction. One of these specified conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be \"used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship, or research.\" If a user makes a request for, or later uses, a photocopy or reproduction for purposes in excess of \"fair use,\" that user may be liable for copyright infringement. This institution reserves the right to refuse to accept a copying order if, in its judgment, fulfillment of the order would involve violation of copyright law. Authority: 230.22(2), F.S.

        "title": "Fix Microsoft Word Errors",
        "raw_content": "How to fix Microsoft Word errors ?\nMicrosoft Word is one of the most popular and widely used word processing applications that have ever been invented. Almost everyone who has done any work in an office environment, or sat down to type up or create a document has probably used Microsoft Word at one time or another. It is a wonderful word processing application that allows you to create, edit and find all kinds of templates and documents that are used for creating professional and detailed documents from letters and resumes to calendars and other fun documents.\nIf you use Microsoft Word on your computer and you routinely experience different kinds of problems and errors with it, it could be because of a problem on your computer itself and not necessarily the Microsoft Word program. The reason for this is because Microsoft Word relies on many other programs and areas of your computer to be working smoothly and correctly in order for it to run at its optimal capacity. Microsoft Word uses facets and areas of your computer that are critical to the overall running of your computer. Files that are in the Windows Registry on your computer are needed to allow MS Word to function and work properly. If there are any corrupt files or problems that are in other parts of your computer such as your Windows Registry, they can cause your Microsoft Word program to not work as fast as you would like.\nThe best thing that you can do to help prevent Microsoft Word errors and to fix Microsoft Word errors when they occur is by cleaning out the Windows Registry on your computer. This needs to be done on a regular basis because the files that are stored in the Windows Registry on your computer are important and can be corrupted or damaged and therefore cause a lot of other problems to happen on your computer and can create slower run times when you attempt to open and run various files and programs on your computer. Doing the proper clean up and maintenance on your computer is not a difficult task, and by doing it you are also cleaning up all the older or damaged versions of software and hardware on your computer that can potentially damage other files and cause them not to run effectively. Microsoft Word is an excellent program that is extremely versatile and can be used on different computer platforms and different versions of operating systems. You probably rely on your Microsoft Word program a lot for work or personal use and need it to be running at its best. In order to optimize the capacity of Microsoft Word on your computer, you need to make sure that you are doing the proper file clean up and maintenance and protecting your computer against viruses and keeping files off of your computer that could be damaged and causing you slow running time and other problems with Microsoft Word.\nMicrosoft Word errors can be detected and repaired by professional Windows Registry optimization software like RegCure that uses Advanced Error Detection Technology (AEDT). RegCure automatically identifies missing, corrupt, or invalid Registry entries that cause Microsoft Word errors and dramatically enhances the performance and stability of your PC.

        "raw_content": "Customers: Blink And They're Gone\nIt's Monday, post-PPAI Expo. As you sip your coffee and rest your feet from walking the miles of aisles, join Promotional Consultant Today in celebrating another successful PPAI Expo. This week, we'll feature more insights from the amazing and informative education sessions presented at Expo, beginning with David Avrin, CSP, a consultant, business author and expert on the topic of customer experience. Avrin's presentation, Blink & They're Gone! Why Today's Customers Are Leaving You For Competitors And How To Win Them Back, was one of the Power Keynotes on Education Day.\nThe biggest source of lost revenue for your business is the prospective customer you never knew about. They clicked away without buying. They hung up the phone before you ever got a chance to talk to them. They drove by, but didn't stop, or they came in and left without being engaged. And the worst part about all of this, is that you have no idea who these people are\u2014or were.\nWe live in an extraordinary time. Not only has the number of marketplace options exploded in recent years, but the quality of those choices is at new level. In short, everyone is good. What? You don't agree? Wake up! Great choices are everywhere, even the choice to not buy at all. Granted, there will always be lesser players in any market, but for many consumers, \"good enough\" at a lower price point is a great choice. In short, we might like you, but we certainly don't need you.\nThe explosion of choices combined with the pervasive reach of the internet has created populations of impatient, intolerant and impulsive consumers. We (they) want what we want, when we want it\u2014and we can generally get it. Those businesses that can deliver for us, will win the business; that is, until someone else can do it better, faster, cheaper, or closer, more memorably or differently.\nThis is not to suggest that the concept of customer loyalty is dead, it's just much harder to earn and sustain today. That's why businesses get away with charging $10 for a basic hamburger at an amusement park\u2014because we are a captive audience. There are no other choices. But in the \"real world,\" we can choose to eat out anywhere, or stay at home and have a bowl of cereal.\nTake a step back in your business and look not just at your value proposition and the customer experience you offer, but at all the choices your prospects have and where you fit in. People are not making buying decisions in a vacuum. They are not deciding whether or not to do business with you. They have a need and vast array of options to meet that need. They are looking at everyone. You have to win that battle for their time, attention and dollars. You have to be a better choice.\nThink of all the things that you hate about doing business with others\u2014and not just in your category. Why do you hang up, walk away, click away or decline to buy? Look at your customer experience at every touch point along the entire sales cycle. Are you easy to do business with? Can customers talk to a real person when they need to and are they getting the answers they want. In short, would you like doing business with you?\n\"Hey look! There is another prospect about to leave.\" Don't blink.\nSource: David Avrin, CSP is a popular branding and customer experience keynote speaker, consultant and business author.

        "raw_content": "\u201cTaxes are what we pay for a civilized society.\u201d\nU.S. Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes\u2019s statement is engraved on the front of the Internal Revenue Service building in Washington, D.C. Some people agree with the sentiment. Others believe it to be a logical fallacy.\nIt\u2019s likely the tax plan proposed by House Republicans last week had all of them talking, regardless of position on the opinion spectrum. Some of the changes suggested in the proposal include:\nReducing current marginal income tax brackets from seven to four (12, 25, 35, and 39.6 percent). The New York Times reported, \u201cWhile the lowest income rate would increase, typical families in the existing 10 percent bracket would most likely be better off because of a larger child tax credit and an increase in the standard deduction.\u201d\nRepealing the Alternative Minimum Tax.\nIncreasing the standard deduction to $12,000 for individuals and $24,000 for married couples, while eliminating personal exemptions (the $4,050 exemptions you claim for yourself, your spouse, and your dependents).\nRepealing state and local tax deductions.\nReducing (and eventually eliminating) estate taxes.\nSetting the corporate tax rate at 20 percent. Financial Times wrote, \u201cThis will not increase wages or growth by much, and nowhere near the wild claims made by its proponents. But a lower rate combined with a broader tax base is not a terrible idea\u2026To pay for the cuts, the tax law writers have gone after corporate deductions\u2026\u201d\nEliminating medical expense deductions. The Hill explained, \u201cUnder current law, the IRS allows individuals to deduct qualified medical expenses that exceed 10 percent of a person\u2019s adjusted gross income for the year. The bill would repeal that itemized deduction, effective in 2018.\u201d\nIn addition to headline news about tax reform, investors contemplated the appointment of Jerome Powell as the next Chair of the Federal Reserve and embraced strong earnings. The Standard & Poor\u2019s 500 Index, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and NASDAQ closed at record highs last week.\nare you bullish about Pet Tech? Early in the last century, authors like Anna Sewell (Black Beauty) and Jack London (White Fang) wrote stories that encouraged readers to understand and empathize with animals. Today, entrepreneurs are developing devices to help people better understand pets. Here are a few innovations in the pet-tech space that may (or may not) become household necessities or in-demand holiday gifts:\nRemote control pet interaction. You may be sitting in your office, miles from home, but that doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t pull out your smartphone and fling a treat to Fido or shine a laser for Boots to chase. That\u2019s right, interactive pet cameras let you see, feed, talk to, and play with your pet when you\u2019re far away.\nPet insight software. A tech writer at Slate wrote, \u201cFor the most part, [my cat\u2019s] feelings, daily activities, and health are a black box to me.\u201d Apparently, it\u2019s a common issue. Entrepreneurs have invested $10 million to develop \u201cdeep learning software that can analyze the huge quantities of pet video\u2026to learn more about animal behavior and how it's linked to animal health issues and moods.\u201d\nFitness trackers for pets. Pet owners who suspect their animals are too sedentary may want to invest in smart collars for their pets. Some collars track temperature, heart rate, heart rate variability, activity, calories burned, and more. Once a normal baseline has been established, pet owners may be able to spot anomalies that signal health issues.\nRobotic pets with artificial intelligence. Perhaps, you just don\u2019t have the time to feed, walk, and play with a pet. Maybe, you travel too much or dislike the household wear and tear associated with pets.

        "raw_content": "Accidents that occur while an employee is engaged in work-related activities can result in death.\nWhen someone dies in an accident at work, that individual's employer has a financial responsibility to the deceased employee's dependents. Any wages accrued by the employee but not yet paid out must be provided to the dependents. Workers' compensation death benefit payments and reasonable burial expenses must also be remitted to any dependents left behind by a deceased employee.\nIf you have lost a loved one in a work-related accident, you need to understand the legal definition of a dependent. Only a legally recognized dependent can successfully file for workers' compensation death benefits and you may need the help of an experienced attorney to access the financial resources you are entitled to receive from your deceased loved one's employer.\nAccording to the regulations that govern the distribution of workers' compensation death benefits, minor children can qualify as dependents. Most children under the age of 18 will meet the dependency requirements, but some may not.\nA child that is not living with the deceased employee at the time of death may not be considered a dependent. If the deceased employee's spouse is deemed to be entirely dependent on the deceased, any minor children in the home will not be entitled to workers' compensation death benefits. The law assumes that the surviving parent will utilize the benefits he or she receives to assist in the care of the minor children.\nA minor child's work circumstances may also be evaluated. If a minor is generating income, then the amount of death benefits he or she is eligible for may be adjusted accordingly.\nEmployees who are married at the time of a work-related death leave behind a spouse who may be considered a dependent. A surviving spouse can be found totally dependent or partially dependent based on his or her income.\nA stay-at-home parent who loses a spouse in a work-related accident is considered totally dependent. He or she will be entitled to weekly workers' compensation death benefits for the duration of his or her natural life or until he or she remarries. A spouse that works outside the home will be entitled to receive death benefits that are adjusted based on his or her income. These types of spouses are considered partially dependent.\nProof of a legal marriage must be provided before spousal benefits will be awarded in a workers' compensation case.\nWorkers' compensation death benefits are designed to provide financial help to those individuals who depended on the wages generated by a deceased employee to survive.\nAlthough a couple living together might not be legally married, a case for dependency can be proven if the surviving girlfriend or boyfriend will suffer financial harm. An experienced attorney will be able to provide sufficient evidence to prove that the deceased employee paid a considerable portion of the household expenses.\nA girlfriend or boyfriend left behind can be deemed a good faith dependent and workers' compensation death benefits can be awarded based on financial need.\nIssues of dependency in workers' compensation cases can be complex. Multiple dependents might exist, and each of these dependents has a right to lay claim to death benefits. A number of factors are taken into consideration when determining dependency and distributing financial benefits after a work-related death occurs.\nContact The McDaniel Law Firm if you have lost a loved one in a work-related accident. We can help you establish dependency and gain access to the death benefits you are entitled to according to workers' compensation regulations.",

        "title": "Muziris Tour Part 3 - Kodungallur Fort and Chendamangalam Synagogue",
        "raw_content": "Muziris Tour Part 3 - Kodungallur Fort and Chendamangalam Synagogue\nWe continued our journey through the Muziris Heritage sites. We have already covered the Paravur Synagogue and Pallippuram fort. It was close to noon and was getting hotter each minute. It was a relief to get back to the air conditioned boat and travel over the calming waters of River Periyar. Our next destination is the Kodungallur Fort which is also known as the Kottappuram Fort.\nIt is an important stop in the Muziris Heritage tour. As we approached the Kottappuram Jetty, we saw the famous Kottappuram Market on the left side. It is an ancient market place which came into existence during the Perumal reign of Kerala. Kottappuram market played a crucial role during the active times of the Muziris port and also hosted the Portuguese and Dutch traders during the 15th and 16th century. This market is aptly included in the Muziris Heritage Project. It is no less than a monument in itself. As we approached the \u201cKottappuram Jetty\u201d, I could see the ruined wall of Kodungallur Fort.\nKodungallur Fort - A view from the River\nThere was a large crowd hanging around the fort. It was quite queer that such a large number of people came to visit such a subtle monument. I was kind of happy to see them, feeling proud that even the local folk started admiring the historical value of the Muziris Heritage sites. However my joy was short-lived as I realized that all those people came for a marriage at a nearby house. Due to space constraints, they were just hanging around the fort! So we were left with no company and walked towards the deserted fort.\nRuins of the Kodungallur Fort - Archaeological excavation site\nIt would take a while before the guide arrives, so we walked around the ruins of the Kodungallur fort. Even though it is called a Fort, there is not much left of it. There is only a part of a bastion that is still standing; reminding the glory of this majestic fort. In midst of the rubble and ruins, it is quite difficult to make any sense of the original structure of the fort. I decided that it is better to wait for the guide and meanwhile I started reading a very interesting book by M R Raghava Warrier. It is about the history of Kodungallur and Muziris. There is a detailed description about Kodungallur fort in the book.\nIt is only after 30 years building the Pallippuram fort that the Portuguese procured the permission to build the Kodungallur(Kottappuram) fort. Their wait was not in vain as the location of the fort was in such a key position in the River side. Portuguese built the Kodungallur fort in such a way that most of its bastions protrude towards the water. It enabled them to closely watch all the boats that pass from the interior villages towards the sea. It was impossible for any movements in the water without being noticed by the patrol.\nThe last standing bastion of the Kodungallur Fort - Photo: Kerala Tourism Department\nThe Kodungallur Fort was huge and strong which was built using stone and mud. It was protected by seven bastions, tall perimeter walls and a huge trench. However, the Portuguese couldn\u2019t own the Kodungallur Fort for long time. In 1660, the Dutch general Ryklof van Goens tried to capture the Pallippuram Fort and Kodungallur Fort. The Dutch could capture the Pallippuram fort, however they faced severe counter attack by Portuguese at the Kodungallur Fort. However, after 2 years General van Goens again attacked the Kodungallur fort. This time he had the Zamorin of Calicut and King of Cranganore as Dutch ally. However the King of Cochin supported the Portuguese and send his nephew Godavarma and 400 Nair soldier for the assistance of Portuguese troops. The war between the Dutch and Portuguse ensued. There was a lot of bloodshed. A detailed description of this war is given by a dutch captain named Nieuhoff. According to him the war scene was so horrific - the dead bodies of the Nair soldiers floated all over the river and the entire river turned blood red.\nThe old information panel at Kodungallur Fort\nIt was an extremely lucky day for us. Mithun \u2013 an archaeology expert who is a part of the Muziris excavation at Kottappuram was the guide we were waiting for. As he started explaining the history of Muziris and the Kottappuram Fort, our exhaustion was alleviated. We soon started exploring the fort with new found enthusiasm and meaning. After the war in 1662 Dutch conquered the Kottappuram fort. The first thing they did was to destroy the Portuguese fort to the last stone. The Dutch soon started building a greater fort on top of the ruins of the old Portuguese fort. So the remnants of the Fort that we see today at Kottappuram are actually that of the Dutch fort, not the Portuguese one. It was news for me. I was kind of proud that I had done my homework before coming to this fort, however I was humbled by the amount of history that was being unveiled .\nInterior of the Kodungallur Fort - Photo: Kerala Tourism Department\nMithun started explaining about the archaeological excavations at the Kodungallur fort. Before they started the excavations, this area looked like a hill. The Fort was completely buried under the sediments worth many centuries. It was even difficult to imagine such a fort existed at this place. The excavation team had to remove a huge amount of earth before they could uncover the fort. It was quite a challenging task, as one need to be extremely careful while digging lest they might damage some priceless historic artifacts. As they started the excavation, the walls of the Dutch fort started emerging.\nThe research team found many Dutch artifacts including the wine pitchers as they started digging deep. When they went further down, they found the foundations of the older Portuguese fort. Mithun told us that the Dutch used some parts of the Portuguese foundation for their new fort. There is also a queer artifact on display at the Kottappuram Fort. It is the skeleton of a Portuguese man who was buried inside the fort. Detailed studies have revealed the burial would have happened sometime in the fourteenth century.\nInterior of the Kodungallur Fort\nIt was with great enthusiasm that Mithun explained us about the excavations as part of the Muziris Heritage Project. However he did not fail to ensure that we were not getting bored as he kept on explaining about the smallest details of the fort. We assured him that this was the best ever history lecture we heard in our lives. Even though I have learned history in my school days, I have to admit that I used to doze off in the class. It is quite a different feeling, learning history as you see, touch and feel it. As we were about to leave the fort , Mithun mentioned about something that would evoke our interest. He told us about a piece of ancient porcelain vessel that he spotted in the fort a few days back. He asked if we are interested in seeing it. I jumped in at this great opportunity.\nThe first excavation effort!\nAfter searching for 5 minutes we found a small piece of this vessel protruding out of the earth near a fort wall. We started carefully remove the earth and the ancient artifact started revealing itself in all its glory. It was my first ever archaeological excavation and I would never forget those precious moments of my life!\nThe Dutch porcelain excavated !\nWe knew we cannot thank Mithun enough for his guidance which made our Muziris trip worthwhile. As we started our journey towards the next destination \u2013 The Kottayil Kovilakam, I had a last glance at the Kottappuram fort, which stands holding the memories of over 500 years. I wish more people start appreciating its historical value once the Muziris Heritage project gains popularity.\nChendamangalam Synagogue\nWe had a lovely lunch and a short rest at the restaurant near the Kottayil Kovilakam jetty. Kottayil Kovilakam was the headquarters of the \u201cVillarvattom Swaroopam\u201d \u2013 a local ruling family of the region. \u201cKovilakam\u201d in Malayalam indicate a traditional ancestral house which usually has multiple stories and numerous rooms housing a huge joint family. Kottayil kovilakam region is the epitome of religious harmony as an ancient Krishna temple; a synagogue, a Christian church and a mosque co-exist within the radius of 1km. It was not a coincidence that various religious groups found a place in here. It was the wish of a broad minded ruler of \u201cVillarvattom Swaroopam\u201d. His Highness wanted all kinds of people from all religions should co-exist harmoniously in his land.\nI thought I would get to see a huge ancestral house at Kottayil Kovilakam, as name of this place suggests. However there is no \u201cKovilakam\u201d to see here. The main attraction of the Kottayil Kovilakam is the Chendamangalam synagogue. This synagogue is located at a short distance from the boat jetty. Chendamangalam synagogue was founded in 1420 and later renovated in the 15th century. It is located at the farthest end of a small street which was known as the \u201cJewish street\u201d in olden days. We walked quickly towards the Synagogue so as to escape from the blazing sun.\nIn front of the Chendamangalam synagogue there is a stone tablet with Hebrew words on it. As we saw in the Paravur synagogue, It is not a historical description. It is the tombstone of \u201cSara Beth Israel\u201d \u2013 a Jewish lady who said to be cremated in 1269. As the Jewish community migrated to Kerala, they brought this tomb stone along with them and installed in front of the Chendamangalam synagogue. She might be a very important person!\nThe memorial stone of Sara Beth Israel\nWe entered into the Synagogue. Unlike the Parvur synagogue, the Hekkal of Chendamangalam Synagogue is much colourful and ancient. The lower parts of the Hekkal is original from the days when the synagogue was built. However the top portions have undergone slight renovations. There are also huge chandeliers hanging from the roof of the synagogue. Most of them have become dull due to centuries of dust and usage.\nColorful Hekkal of CHendamangalam Synagogue\nThere was another group of foreign tourists inside the synagogue, among them only one knew English. Their guide is explaining about the synagogue to that lady who knew English and she was then translating to the entire group. It was such a lovely sight that people take so much interest and effort to understand the monuments in my country!\nThe colorful ceiling of the Chendamangalam Synagogue\nLike the Paravur synagogue, the Chendamangalam synagogue also has two Bimahs. One is on the ground floor and other is on the first floor. The one on the first floor is supported by beautifully carved wooden pillars. This synagogue was built by wealthy Jewish business community and they said to have made it in resemblance of the temple of Solomon in mount Zion in Israel.\nTwo Bimahs of the Chendamangalam Synagogue\nWe climbed onto the first floor of the synagogue. We could see the Melisha and Rabbanim in the first floor. In the first part of the Muziris heritage tour \u2013 I have described in detail about these parts of a traditional synagogue. Please read it here.\nView of the Hekkal through Melisha\nAs a part of the Muziris Heritage Project, this synagogue is set as a Jewish life style museum. The information panels inside the synagogue museum provide adequate information about Jewish lifestyle like food, language, ensembles, cultural and religious rituals. As you walk around the synagogue reading these information panels, you get a sense that you spend a day with a Jewish family.\nWe exited the synagogue through the staircase on the first floor. Traditionally these stairs were used by women to enter directly into the first floor through the back side of the synagogue. In my account of the Muziris water tour to Paravur synagogue, I have mentioned about it.\nThe staircase used by women to enter synagogue\nThe street in front of the Synagogue is called the Jewish street. There are a few traditional Jewish houses on this street. However they look very similar to Kerala houses, except for the stone lamp in front of the house as well as the special slanting construction on the sides of the steps leading into the house.\nThe Jews in Kerala had blended very well with the culture and lifestyle in Kerala. Even though they lived in constant hope of returning to Israel, they did not contempt the land which gave them refuge and shelter. Instead they lived to the fullest on this foreign land, enriching it\u2019s culture. Most of the Jews have returned to Israel. However many of their descendants still visit these places to pay homage to their ancestors who lived and died on this land. I remember a guide telling me this \u2013 Many of them find it emotionally overwhelming to visit the Kerala synagogues as they remind them about their great grandparents.\nWe walked our way uphill towards the Krishna temple which is located around 400 meters from the synagogue. Unfortunately the temple was closed as it was afternoon time. We had a distant view of this ancient temple and it was time for us to head towards the next destination. The next destination is Paliyam Kovilakam and Nalukettu. We walked briskly towards the Kottayil Kovilakam boat jetty.\nEntrance of the Srikrishna Swamy temple\nLabels: Heritage Sites Indian_Heritage_Sites Kerala Muziris Nature_Trekking",

        "raw_content": "Backpacking: Where to begin\nJumping into a new hobby isn't an impossible thing to do, and with a little help the process can be somewhat pain free. But, before you run out to your local gear store and start buying everything you've seen on a packing checklist pulled from some website, just stop, put your credit card away and keep reading.\nBackpacking is simply a marriage between bare bones camping and hiking. The first step is to ensure you are in love with camping. So go out and enjoy the wilderness. Once you yearn to be outdoors in all seasons and all weather conditions, you are likely willing to trek up a mountain to spend a few days bathing in its entirety. It is a good start, you have the motivation to keep going.\nThe next step is to put your left foot forward, then your right, and repeat until you make it up a mountain. Hiking is your mode of transportation in the back country, so you better start practicing. Start with short trails with little elevation gain, and work your way up to longer and steeper routes. As your hikes become more advanced, you will have to take more gear. A rain jacket, more water, lunch, and before you know it you will be spending the better part of your day on the trail and enjoying whatever destination you have your sights on. Feel free to make your pack a little heavier and see how you do. You're are almost there, especially now that you will most definitely survive the hike.\nThe final step before buying gear and outfitting yourself, is to start practicing. In my past article, The Draw of Backpacking... I expressed why I find backpacking to be more enjoyable than car camping, but that doesn't mean car camping or even camping at the cabin cannot be a safe environment to test new skills and gear. When you go backpacking, you aren't just leaving the luxuries and noise of life behind, but you are essentially leaving your safety net behind as well. If a situation turns for the worse, you must have the knowledge, level head, and perseverance to ensure not only your safety but the safety of others. A good sense of the fundamentals will be a great start. This includes lighting fires without lighters and newspaper, reading and navigating maps, telling direction, gathering tinder, understanding animal behavior, first aid, and knowing how your own body reacts to exertion, sun, cold, and possibly hypothermia. In essence, think about all the situations and things that could go wrong before you set out and how you can mitigate the risk. If you do not have an answer to a \u201cwhat would I do\u201d type of question, this might be a good indication that you must gain some survival knowledge in this area. Survival skills are something that you should always have, backpacking or not, and could one day save your life.\nNow that you are working on your love for the outdoors, your hiking physique, and your outdoor fundamentals, you are almost ready for the trail. You, and only you will know when you are confident enough to step off the beaten track. Happy trails.",

        "title": "Results of the American Revolution",
        "raw_content": "Results of the American Revolution\nThe Americans were now free but not independent. Why not? Because they had not established a nation endowed with the functions of absolute sovereignty. The British statesmen were wise enough to see this, and sagacious enough to take advantage of the situation. They saw that the Americans were without a government sufficiently powerful to command the fulfillment of treaty stipulations, or an untrammeled commerce sufficiently important to attract the cupidity or interested sympathies of other nations. John Adams was received with courtesy as the ambassador of an independent nation at the court of St. James, and King George had said to him: \"I was the last man in the kingdom, Sir, to consent to the independence of America; but now it is granted, I will be the last man in the world to sanction a violation of it.\"\nThese courtesies and fair words were only the velvet that covered the mailed hand of power. The British ministry, misled by the Loyalists that swarmed in the metropolis, believed that the weak confederacy would soon crumble, and that each part would be suing for restoration to the privileges of subjects to the crown. It was prepared to seize with merciless grasp the inchoate nation and destroy its sovereignty. The trade, commerce, manufactures, arts, literature, science, religion and laws were yet largely subservient to the parent country, without a well-grounded hope for speedy deliverance from the thrall. These facts gave Dr. Franklin good reason for saying to a compatriot who remarked that the war for independence was successfully closed: \"Say, rather, the war of the Revolution. The war for Independence is yet to be fought.\" That struggle occurred, and that independence was won by the Americans in the war of 1812.\nWe have already observed that wise men deplored the weakness of the government under the Articles of Confederation ratified in 1781. The powers of that government were soon tested by its efforts to employ the functions of sovereignty. A debt of $70,000,000 lay upon the shoulders of a wasted people, besides the promises of the dead \"Continental money\" to pay more than $200,000,000 more. About $44,000,000 of this live debt was owing by the general government, $10,000,000 in Europe, and the remainder by the individual States. The debt had been contracted in carrying on the war, which, for a long time, was sustained only by money borrowed for the purpose. By this means the public credit had sunk very low. The restoration of that credit or the downfall of the infant republic was the alternative presented to the Americans at the close of the war.\nWith a determination to restore the public credit, the General Congress put forth all their strength, which was only absolute weakness. They asked the several States to vest that body with power to levy, for the term of twenty-five years, duties on certain imported articles, the revenue therefrom to be appropriated to the sole purpose of paying the interest and principal of the public debt. It was also proposed that the States should establish, for the same time and for the same object, substantial revenues for supplying each its proportion of $1,500,000 annually, exclusive of duties on imports. This financial system, which was approved by the leading men of the country, was not to go into effect without the consent of every State in the league. For three years the proposition was before the people. All the States but two were willing to raise the required amount; but they would not consent to vest the Congress with the asked-for power. \"It is money, not power,\" they said, \"that ought to be the object. The former will pay our debts, the latter may destroy our liberties.\" So ended in failure the first important effort of the general government to assume the functions of sovereignty. It was the beginning of a series of failures, and was mischievous because it excited the jealousy of the respective States. It also exposed the impotency of a so-called national government, whose very vitality, as well as the right to exercise governing functions, depended upon the will of thirteen distinct legislative bodies, each tenacious of its own peculiar rights and interests, and miserly in its delegation of power. It was perceived that the public credit must inevitably be destroyed by a repudiation of the public debt.\nThe League were equally unfortunate in their attempts to establish commercial relations with other governments, especially with Great Britain. The British ministry in power when the treaty of peace was ratified were disposed to make liberal commercial arrangements with the Americans, and our commerce began to revive. William Pitt, son of the Earl of Chatham, and then, at the age of twenty-four years, Chancellor of the Exchequer, proposed a plan by which the British West India Islands and other possessions of the crown, should be thrown open to American commerce. Such a measure would have secured a lasting peace between the two countries. But the unwisdom of British statesmen could not discern it. The shipping interest, then potential in Parliament, opposed it, and the wiser ministry did not survive the proposition a month. The new ministry, listening to the suggestions of bitter American Loyalists in England, assumed a haughty tone toward the Americans, treating them as vassals, and inaugurating a restrictive commercial policy which indicated that they regarded the States of the League as only alienated members of the British realm. Lord Sheffield, in a pamphlet that was widely circulated, declared his belief that utter ruin must soon overtake the League because of the anarchy into which their independence had thrown them. He saw the utter weakness of their form of government, and advised his countrymen to consider them of little account as a nation. \"If the American States choose to send consuls,\" he said, \"receive them and send a consul to each State. Each State will soon enter into all necessary regulations with the consul, and this is the whole that is necessary.\" In other words, the United States have no dignity above that of a fifth-rate power; and the States are still, in fact, only dis-membered fragments of the British empire.\nImpelled by this unfriendly conduct of Great Britain, the Congress, in the spring of 1784, asked the several States to delegate powers to them for fifteen years, by which they might, by countervailing measures, compel the British to be more liberal. The appeal was in vain. The States growing more and more jealous of their own dignity, refused to vest any such powers in the Congress; nor would they make any permanent or uniform arrangement among themselves. Without public credit; their commerce at the mercy of every adventurer; without respect at home or abroad, the League exhibited the sad spectacle of the elements of a great nation paralyzed in the formative process. Then came a threatened open rupture with Great Britain on account of the inexecution of the Treaty of Peace, when John Adams was sent to England early in 1785, clothed with the full powers of plenipotentiary, to arrange all matters in dispute. But he could accomplish little. He was courteously received, as we have observed, but was coldly treated afterward. The representative of a weak government, he was compelled to bite his lip in silence; and he asked and obtained leave to return home.\nMeanwhile matters were becoming infinitely worse in the United States. The League appeared to be on the verge of dissolution. The idea of forming two or three distinct confederacies took possession of the public mind. The people of Western North Carolina revolted and a new State called Frankland, formed by the insurgents, lasted several months. A portion of Southwestern Virginia sympathized in the movement. Insurrections against the authorities of Pennsylvania appeared in the Wyoming Valley. A convention at Portland discussed the propriety of making the Territory of Maine an independent State. An armed mob surrounded the New Hampshire Legislature and demanded a remission of taxes. In Massachusetts, Captain Daniel Shays led a formidable insurrection, which caused the calling out of several thousand militia under General Lincoln to suppress it. There was resistance to taxation everywhere. It was caused by the hard necessities of the people. Debt weighed down all classes; and the burden of the tax gatherer was often the \"feather that would break the camel's back.\"\nWise and patriotic men now saw clearly that the chief cause of all the trouble was the inherent weakness of the general government. Sagacious men like young Hamilton had perceived it long before. So early as 1780, when he was only twenty-three years of age, Hamilton seems to have formed well-defined, profound and comprehensive opinions on the situation and wants of the States. In a long letter to James Duane, in Congress, dated \"At the Liberty-Pole,\" September 3d, he gave an outline sketch of a national constitution, and suggested the calling of a convention to frame such a system of government. During the following year he published in the New York Packet, then printed at Fishkill, in Duchess County, New York, a series of papers under the title of The Constitutionalist, which were devoted chiefly to the discussion of the defects in the Articles of Confederation. They excited much local attention. In the summer of 1782, as we have observed, he succeeded in having the subject brought before the Legislature of New York, then in session at Poughkeepsie. It was favorably received; and on Sunday, the 21st of July, that body, by resolution, drawn by Hamilton and presented by General Schuyler, his father-in-law, recommended the \"assembling of a convention of the United States, specially authorized to revise and amend the Confederation, reserving the right to the respective legislatures to ratify their determination.\" In the spring of 1783, Hamilton, in Congress, expressed an earnest desire for a convention charged with that high duty. In the same year, Thomas Paine and Pelatiah Webster wrote on the subject; and in the spring of 1784, Noah Webster, the author of the Dictionary, published a pamphlet on the great topic, which he took pains to carry in person to General Washington. In that pamphlet he suggested a \"new system of government which should act, not on the States but directly on individuals, and vest in Congress full power to carry its laws into effect.\" In the autumn of 1785, Washington, in a letter to James Warren, deplored the weakness of the government and the \"illiberality jealousy, and local policy of the States\" that was likely to sink the new nation, \"in the eyes of Europe, into contempt.\"",

Nowadays Carpathian Ruthenia is a part of Ukraine. However, over the last centuries it has been under the control of neighboring states including Austria-Hungary, Czechoslovakia and the Soviet Union. Hence the multiculturality and rich history of this place. From today\u2019s perspective, it is also a picturesque, extremely wild and relatively inaccessible land on the southern slopes of the Eastern Beskids.\nIn some way the inaccessibility is due to the very small number of passable roads. Even those passable road are generally of poor quality. Now it feels strange to have any remarks on quality of Romanian infrastructure. In Ukraine things get different. Firstly, it is impossible to overlook a faulty part of the road, as it is quite difficult to ride more than a few hundred meters without riding into a hole. The driving that requires constant attention and making left or right turns all the time. Moving at speeds not more than 20km per hour has also good sides: you are not likely to miss anything interesting on the way.\nEvery now and then there are road construction teams but it\u2019s not enough given the amount of work that is still to be done.\nI would also like to point out that it\u2019s not only the holes that are slowing us down\u2026\nAt some point we supply ourselves with water. The water comes from the source allegedly having special healing properties. Apparently it contains a lot of iron. I have no doubt about that, because the next morning there is a layer of rust sediment deposited on the bottom of our plastic containers. I do not know if it\u2019s really medicinal water, but we\u2019ll see.\nIt is worth to come here to see the mountains. Apparently bears are also possible to be encountered on the trail, but they look so innocent and friendly \u2013 just like the one below living in a bear reserve.\nWe travel and discover beautiful areas that are in a way a mirror reflection of Bieszczady Mountains, across the border on the Ukrainian side. There is even a better version of the famous Morskie Oko in Tatra Mountains. (a lake, literally translated to \u201cSea Eye\u201d). The one here is called \u201cSenevyr\u201d or Ukrainian Sea Eye.\nIt is located in Senevyr National Park. This is probably one of the most interesting areas of Zakarpattia region. The place has enormous tourist potential, but the lack of infrastructure and relatively difficult access make it rather rarely visited by travelers, except a handful of local tourists. Maybe that\u2019s why Senevyr is so special.\nIn the current economic conditions, Ukraine is also very affordable. It is widely avoided by foreign tourists, seriously for no reason, as it is a very safe and interesting country. Since there is no mass tourism, we can expect a lot of individual experiences while traveling. Everything is worthwhile. I recommend embracing temporarily weak local currency and get hryvnia very cheap. Let our expenses go where they are most needed. Optimally, directly to the people.\nA few hours later (and several dozen kilometers further) we reach Lumshory. We get to a little eco-resort run by a young married couple. They are just about to open it officially in the coming days, so we will be one of the first guests. They ave a spacious campsite, a restaurant and \u2018czan\u2019, a traditional Ukrainian hot-tub that is the main attraction.\nThis is an unusual experience. According to the oldest tales, it has been believed that the use of hot-tub guaranteed the eternal youth. The baths have been used for a variety of medical applications since the 17th century. It\u2019s believed properties of sulfur-rich water from the stream in Lumshory. The iron tube is first filled up with water and then there is a mixture of herbs and twigs added to compliment the brew while it is heated up to about 40 degrees, sometimes even more. When it gets too hot, you just jump into the cold creek beside, take a sip of beer, jump into hot water and repeat the sequence again.\nThe staff adds uniqueness to this experience. As a matter of fact, there are five persons involved to make sure we have a good time. Is water hot enough? Would you like to have one more beer? What time would you like the dinner to be ready? Would you like me to put some extra wood under the tub?\nThis is how the evening goes and it is finished off by an excellent dinner of various grilled meat types.\nIt is very easy to wake up early after such a relaxing evening.\nAfter a hearty breakfast we pay for all the services (about \u20ac30) and make ourselves ready to go.\nThis location is also a great place to work.\nThe regions is worthwhile not only for amazing nature or traditional hot-tubs. We come across interesting wooden architecture and well-preserved stone castles.\nWhen leaving Carpathian Ruthenia, it is worth to visit Uzhhorod, the capital of the Carpathian Oblast. It is an interesting historical city with predominant stone architecture. The 16th century castle houses the Transcarpathian Museum of Regional Natural History with thousands exhibits from various epochs and aspects of life.\nHaving visited the museum I definitely recommend strolling along the picturesque coast of the U\u017e River. Perhaps it is time to make a choice of restaurant to taste local cuisine.\nCrossing the borders that are not the most typical sometimes arises excitement. Will there be a long waiting line or are we going to face a long list of formalities? This time it is not the case. It took us just fifteen minutes to entered Ukraine from Romania and we enter EU in Slovakia in just as little time.\nLast thousand kilometers\nWe are about a thousand kilometers away from home. It is worth to split the distance and spend few more days to visit some interesting places in southern Poland.\nIn the Magura National Park we manage to hike a part of my sentimental trail running event \u0141emkowyna.\nWe stop by at the B\u0142\u0119d\u00f3w Desert and visit our friends to stay for a couple of days in the northern part of the Trail of the Eagles\u2019 Nests.\nThis is how our next Eurotrip comes to an end, but no worries, more adventures are waiting on the horizon :)",

        "title": "Origins of Holi Festival | Rashtra Darpan",
        "raw_content": "Home Religion Origins of Holi Festival\nPosted By: adminon: March 06, 2017 In: Religion\nIn days of yore, there were communities of cannibals in India. They caused much havoc. They threatened the lives of many innocent people. One of them was Holika or Putana. She took immense delight in devouring children. Sri Krishna destroyed her and thus saved the little children.\nEven today, the effigy or figure of Holika is burnt in the fire. In South India, the clay figure of Cupid is burnt. This is the origin of the great festival of Holi. It begins about ten days before the full moon of the month Phalgun (February-March), but is usually only observed for the last three or four days, terminating with the full moon. This is the spring festival of the Hindus. In the spring season all the trees are filled with sweet-smelling flowers. They all proclaim the glory and everlasting beauty of God. They inspire you with hope, joy and a new life, and stir you on to find out the creator and the Indweller, who is hiding Himself in these forms.\nHoli is known by the name of Kamadahana in South India, the day on which Cupid was burnt by Lord Siva.\nAnother legend has it that once upon a time an old woman\u2019s grandchild was to be sacrificed to a female demon named Holika. A Sadhu advised that abuse and foul language would subdue Holika. The old woman collected many children and made them abuse Holika in foul language. The demon fell dead on the ground. The children then made a bonfire of her remains.\nConnected to this legend of the demon Holika is Bhakta Prahlad\u2019s devotion to Lord Narayana, and his subsequent escape from death at the hands of Holika. Prahlad\u2019s father, Hiranyakashipu, punished him in a variety of ways to change his devotional mind and make him worldly-minded. He failed in his attempts. At last he ordered his sister, Holika, who had a boon to remain unburnt even in fire, to take Prahlad on her lap and enter into the blazing flames. Holika did so. She vanished, but Prahlad remained untouched and laughing. He was not affected by the fire on account of the Grace of Lord Narayana.\nThis same scene is enacted every year to remind people that those who love God shall be saved, and they that torture the devotee of God shall be reduced to ashes. When Holika was burnt, people abused her and sang the glories of the Lord and of His great devotee, Prahlad. In imitation of that, people even today use abusive language, but unfortunately forget to sing the praises of the Lord and His devotee!\nIn North India, people play joyfully with coloured water. The uncle sprinkles coloured water on his nephew. The niece applies coloured powder on her aunt\u2019s face. Brothers and sisters and cousins play with one another.\nHuge bundles of wood are gathered and burnt at night, and everywhere one hears shouts of \u201cHoli-ho! Holi-ho!\u201d People stand in the streets and sprinkle coloured water on any man who passes by, be he a rich man or an officer. There is no restriction on this day. It is like the April Fool\u2019s Day of the Europeans. People compose and sing special Holi songs.\nOn the festival day, people clean their homes, remove all dirty articles from around the house and burn them. Disease-breeding bacteria are thereby destroyed. The sanitary condition of the locality is improved. During the festival, boys dance about in the streets. People play practical jokes with passers-by. A bonfire is lit towards the conclusion of the festival. Games representing the frolics of the young Krishna take place joyously around a fire.\nOn the last day of Holi, people take a little fire from this bonfire to their homes. They believe that their homes will be rendered pure, and their bodies free from disease.\nNowadays, people are found indulging in all sorts of vices in the name of the Holi festival. Some drink intoxicating liquor like toddy and fall unconscious on the roads. They indulge in obscene speech as a result of drinking. They lose respect for their elders and masters. They waste their money in drink and dice-play. These evils should be totally eradicated.\nFestivals like Holi have their own spiritual value. Apart from the various amusements, they create faith in God if properly observed. Hindu festivals always have a spiritual significance. They wean man away from sensual pleasures and take him gradually to the spiritual path and divine communion. People perform havan and offer the new grains that are harvested to the gods before using them.\nThere should be worship of God, religious gatherings and Kirtan of the Lord\u2019s Names on such occasions, not merely the sprinkling of coloured water and lighting of bonfires. These functions are to be considered most sacred and spent in devotional prayers, visiting holy places, bathing in sacred waters, and Satsang with great souls. Abundant charity should be done to the poor. Then only can Holi be said to have been properly celebrated. The devotees of the Lord should remember the delightful pastimes of the Lord on such happy occasions.\nAll great Hindu festivals have religious, social and hygienic elements in them. Holi is no exception. Every season has a festival of its own. Holi is the great spring festival of India. Being an agricultural country, India\u2019s two big festivals come during the harvest time when the barns and granaries of our farmers are full and they have reason to enjoy the fruits of their hard labour. The harvest season is a festive season all over the world.\nMan wants relaxation and change after hard work. He needs to be cheered when he is depressed on account of work and anxieties. Festivals like Holi supply him with the real food and tonic to restore his cheer and peace of mind.\nThe religious element in the Holi festival consists of worship of Krishna. In some places it is also called the Dol Yatra. The word dol literally means \u201ca swing\u201d. An image of Sri Krishna as a babe is placed in a little swing-cradle and decorated with flowers and painted with coloured powders. The pure, innocent frolics of little Krishna with the merry milkmaids (Gopis) of Brindavan are commemorated. Devotees chant the Name of Krishna and sing Holi-songs relating to the frolics of little Krishna with the Gopis.\nThe social element during Holi is the uniting or \u201cembracing\u201d of the great and the small, of the rich and the poor. It is also the uniting of equals. The festival teaches us to \u201clet the dead bury the dead\u201d. We should forget the outgoing year\u2019s ill-feelings and begin the new year with feelings of love, sympathy, co-operation and equality with all. We should try to feel this oneness or unity with the Self also.\nHoli also means \u201csacrifice\u201d. Burn all the impurities of the mind, such as egoism, vanity and lust, through the fire of devotion and knowledge. Ignite cosmic love, mercy, generosity, selflessness, truthfulness and purity through the fire of Yogic practice. This is the real spirit of Holi. Rise from the mire of stupidity and absurdity and dive deep into the ocean of divinity.\nThe call of Holi is to always keep ablaze the light of God-love shining in your heart. Inner illumination is the real Holi. The spring season is the manifestation of the Lord, according to the Bhagavad Gita. Holi is said there to be His heart.\nTags: AtlantaFestivalGAHoliUSA",

        "raw_content": "Most of these women and mothers who are incarcerated for non-violent drug offenses are suffering with substance abuse issues. In federal prison, for example, 87 percent of the women are struggling with issues of drug abuse; they are untreated addicts criminalized for their addiction rather than treated and rehabilitated. Indeed, while there is minimal investment in comprehensive drug treatment for mothers and their children, state and federal funds have substantially expanded the prison industrial complex. Drug addicted mothers are more likely to be afforded access to prison than to comprehensive family treatment.\nYet, in so many ways, these mothers have also been lost in the discourse and policy issues precipitated by the war on drugs and the emergence of the prison industrial complex. The specific condition and needs of incarcerated women are rarely addressed. The language and actual policy recommendations of many criminal justice efforts are gender neutral and consequently disregard or are entirely irrelevant to the explicit needs of imprisoned mothers and their children. There is minimal attention paid to the devastation of family stability, and the desecration of sacred ties between mother and child, when maternal incarceration occurs. Incarcerated mothers require a specific voice and analysis that urges for the end of their systematic incarceration and criminalization.\nThe Rebecca Project will continue to reform criminal justice policy by advocating for treatment alternatives to incarceration for vulnerable communities, especially mothers convicted of non-violent drug offenses. The treatment alternatives that we advocate for will be therapeutically based, long-term, family treatment programs\u2014as opposed to step down, lock-down programs under the auspices of correctional facilities. Towards that end, we are working with Senators Richard Durbin (D-IL) and Norm Coleman (R-MN) in their introduction of the Family-based Meth Treatment Access Act of 2007, which increase family based treatment for meth and other drugs by $570 million over the next five years.",

        "raw_content": "BREAKING NEWS: Hugh Hefner, Founder Of Playboy, Dead At 91 (Playboy Magazine)\nPlayboy founder and legendary ladies\u2019 man Hugh Hefner has died at the age of 91, according to Playboy Enterprises.\nThe magazine said he was surrounded by loved ones and \u201cpeacefully passed away today from natural causes at his home.\u201d\n\u201cMy father lived an exceptional and impactful life as a media and cultural pioneer and a leading voice behind some of the most significant social and cultural movements of our time in advocating free speech, civil rights and sexual freedom,\u201d Hefner\u2019s son Cooper said in a statement. \u201cHe defined a lifestyle and ethos that lie at the heart of the Playboy brand, one of the most recognizable and enduring in history. He will be greatly missed by many.\u201d\nHefner\u2019s dream of running his own magazine began while he was working as a copy editor at Esquire in 1952, and the following year he secured enough funding to launch Playboy.\nThe December 1953 inaugural issue featured none other than Marilyn Monroe as its cover girl, and the magazine would go on to become a multibillion-dollar empire \u2015 including TV series, websites, DVDs and endless licensed merchandise \u2015 and one of the most recognizable brands in the world.\nIn the 1960s, Hefner became the public face of the company and was known for his smoking jacket, his pipe and the assurance that wherever he was, a bevy of beautiful women surrounded him. He launched a series of private key clubs that he staffed with hostesses known as Bunnies for their now-iconic uniforms that included ears and a tail.\nHefner was arrested in 1963 and charged with selling obscene literature after publishing nude photos of actress Jayne Mansfield. The charges were dropped after a jury was unable to reach a verdict, but the experience led Hefner to launch the Playboy Foundation, which provided funding to groups researching human sexuality and fighting censorship.\nHefner took the company public in 1971, but by the mid-\u201970s, the magazine was facing more competition with the arrival of hardcore publications such as Penthouse, and circulation began to fall. In response, the magazine released its first full-frontal nude centerfold in January 1972, featuring model Marilyn Cole.\nThe Playboy founder suffered a minor stroke in 1985, just a few weeks shy of his 59th birthday. It was an eye-opening experience for Hefner, who decided it was time to tone down his wild parties, according to the Los Angeles Times.\n\u201cI survived a stroke two weeks ago,\u201d Hefner said in a statement. \u201cMy recovery is total and something of a miracle. What has happened is actually a \u2018stroke of luck\u2019 that I fully expect will change the direction of my life.\u201d\nHe handed over his empire to daughter Christie, who had been president of Playboy Enterprises since 1982. She began running the company as chairman of the board and CEO in 1988.\nIn 2009, Scott Flanders replaced Hefner\u2019s daughter as CEO and Playboy Enterprises Inc. began to make a radical shift focusing on its branding potential and licensing opportunities.\nTwo years later, Hefner made a $207 million deal to buy out the company and take it private. The deal gave him a $1 million-a-year contract, full editorial control of the magazine and the right to keep living at the Playboy Mansion, Forbes reported. Hefner told The Hollywood Reporter in September 2011 that he owned close to 37 percent of the corporation, but noted that he had limited involvement with the company\u2019s new focus on licensing. The media mogul also revealed he estimated his personal wealth at more than $100 million.\nIn that same article, THR broached the subject of death, but it was not something Hefner ever talked about, a close colleague said. Hefner said he was not afraid of death and had no faith in any afterlife. And his death wasn\u2019t just a subject that Hefner avoided \u2015 at the time, the company hadn\u2019t thought about it either.\n\u201cThat\u2019s hard to imagine. There\u2019s no succession plan,\u201d Flanders told THR.\nBut the company wasn\u2019t without a plan for long. In 2012, Hefner announced his then-21-year-old son, Cooper, was being groomed to become the public face of the company.\nIn August, Cooper Hefner was named chief creative officer of the company.\nWhile Hugh Hefner was always surrounded by beautiful women, in recent years he\u2019s made the most headlines for the company he kept \u2015 young, blond Playboy models who lived with him at the infamous Playboy Mansion.\nHefner was first married in 1949 to a Northwestern University student named Mildred Williams, with whom he has two children \u2015 Christie and David \u2015 before divorcing in 1959.\nIn 1989, he married again, this time to Playmate of the Year Kimberley Conrad, who was 36 years his junior. Together the couple had two sons, Marston and Cooper, before they separated in 1998 and divorced in 2010.\nDuring his 12-year separation from Conrad, Hefner had relationships with many of the young models featured in his magazine, including twin sisters Sandy and Mandy Bentley, and even dated seven women at once. His concurrent relationships with Playboy Playmates Holly Madison, Bridget Marquardt and Kendra Wilkinson were featured on the reality series \"The Girls Next Door.\"\nIn 2008, all three women decided to leave Hefner and the Playboy Mansion, prompting Hefner to start dating Crystal Harris, who was 60 years his junior, along with 20-year-old twins Kristina and Karissa Shannon. Hefner broke things off with the twins and proposed to Harris in 2010.\nThe couple planned to marry in June 2011, but Harris decided to call off their nuptials just five days before they were scheduled to exchange their vows. After some highly publicized fighting over the custody of their dog, the couple reconciled with the help of Hefner's longtime secretary Mary O'Connor, who died in 2013. Hefner said \"I do\" to Harris and tied the knot for a third time on Dec. 31, 2012.\nHefner and Playboy made headlines more recently for their decision to stop publishing nudes in the print magazine and chose Pamela Anderson to be their last naked cover model for the January/February 2016 issue. The magazine decided to put nudity back in the magazine earlier this year in an effort to take its \u201cidentity back\u201d and reclaim \u201cwho we are.\u201d\nAlso last year, the Playboy Mansion, the iconic 5-acre, 29-room West Los Angeles estate owned by Playboy Enterprises, sold for $100 million, with one catch: Hefner asked that he be allowed to continue living and working there until his death.\nIn an interview for Larry King\u2019s 2004 book, \u201cRemember Me When I\u2019m Gone,\u201d Hefner shared his thoughts on his legacy at Playboy and beyond.\n\u201cI\u2019d like to be remembered as someone who played some part in changing our hurtful and hypocritical views on sex \u2015 and had a lot of fun doing it.\u201d\nHefner is survived by his wife, Crystal, and his children Cooper, Christie, Marston and David.\nCORRECTION: An earlier version of this obituary included a photo caption that misspelled the surnames of Marlon Brando and Hugh Hefner.\nLabels: Breaking News, Hugh Hefner, Obituary, Playboy, Playboy Enterprises, RememberRadio.net",

Over the past two years we have significantly expanded our services providing one to one counselling in schools across mid Essex. We are now present in over 100 schools in Essex.\nIn East London, with the support of the Big Lottery Fund, we provide counselling to 9 schools. We work with many children who demonstrate emotional and behavioural difficulties that affect them to such a degree that it impacts on their capacity to learn. Many may have witnessed, or experienced, violence, addiction, abuse, neglect, bereavement or loss. By being given the opportunity to see these children on a one-to-one basis, in an environment that they recognise, we seek to restore these children\u2019s self-esteem, giving them confidence and making them aware of their individuality and potential.\nIt is difficult to quantify the benefits but at least 2 of the students involved with Renew\u2019s Sycamore Centre were unlikely to successfully complete their secondary education and are now well into their year 10 and 11 and are planning a future which might even include further education.\nMany schools have recognised the need to deal with children\u2019s personal crises at an early stage and see the benefits of this work in a decrease in truancy and disruption in the classroom.\nCost: School contract fees are negotiated on an individual basis and contact should be made with Justine Colley, Schools Counselling Manager on 01245 359353 or 07903410131\nTo enquire about our schools work please contact the following centres;\nSadlers House, 2 Legg St Chelmsford CM1 1AH\nJustine Colley: 07903 410131\nRenew Counselling Bridge Centre\nBodey House Church Walk, Basildon Essex SS14 1WW",

Here\u2019s what I did before that: I started life as a writer, writing a weekly column called \u201cPre-Natal Post-Script\u201d. Then I was born. Beat that, Orson Welles. When I was 16, I moved into audio dramas, and by 17 I was writing for the screen. At 18, I started directing my own films. At 23, I went on my first film tour around the country, which is where I met Rich Sigfrit. Rich and I became fast friends, swapping advice and ideas about the Internet Multimedia Experience (patent pending). He got hooked on my work, I got hooked on Requiem of the Outcast. (We are, in the end, mutual enablers) When Ron and Janine Garner, beloved co-hosts of RotO, had to move on to other adventures in a galaxy far, far away, Rich invited me to step in as the new co-host, and I jumped at it. So, to recap: here\u2019s what I do now: Now I have my own production company, I am the delighted host of Requiem of the Outcast, and I write comic books for Particle9 Productions.\nI am also one of the writers/producers/directors/creators of Stranger\nThings.

        "raw_content": "Nathan Hale is hanged\nOn this day in history, September 22, 1776, Nathan Hale is hanged for spying against the British on Long Island. Hale was born in Coventry, Connecticut in 1755. He went to Yale and became a school teacher in New London, Connecticut. When the Revolution broke out, Hale joined Connecticut's 7th Regiment as a lieutenant and marched to Boston to participate in the siege of that city.\nHale was disappointed that he saw no military action at Boston before the British abandoned the city. Afterwards, the Continental Army moved to defend New York. Hale was disappointed once again when his unit saw no action at the Battle of Long Island on August 27, 1776.\nNathan Hale statue, Saint Paul, Minnesota\nAfter losing the battle, George Washington knew the British would attempt to invade Manhattan and devised a plan to place a spy into the British ranks on Long Island to learn where the invasion would begin. The 21 year old Hale volunteered for the mission, probably because he was tired of being overlooked and out of harm's way.\nHale sailed from Norwalk, Connecticut across Long Island Sound on September 12th. He landed at Huntington and made his way west where he posed as a teacher of Dutch descent looking for a job. Hale spent several days trying to gather information, especially about the planned invasion of Manhattan. Unbeknownst to Hale, the British invaded the island at Kip's Bay on the 15th, forced the Continental Army to withdraw to the north of the island and captured New York City all on the same day.\nNathan Hale - September 22, 1776 by Don Troiani\nHale continued with his mission, not realizing that it had already failed. On the evening of September 21st, a large fire started in New York City that burned down a quarter of the town. In the hysteria of the event, some 200 patriot sympathizers were rounded up on suspicion that they had set the fire to prevent the British from using the city as a base of operations.\nHale by this time had already begun to make his way back to Huntington to cross back to safe territory and report back to Washington, so he had nothing to do with the fire. During his escape from Long Island, Hale was tricked into disclosing his mission to a British officer who had been tipped off to Hale's mission. He was taken into custody and sent to General William Howe in New York. Some have speculated that Hale was caught as a result of the frenzy to take patriots into custody after the fire, but there is no evidence to support this claim.\nGeneral Howe interrogated Hale at the Beekman Mansion outside the city and sentenced him to hanging for treason. That night, Hale was held in the greenhouse on the Beekman estate, where he was denied his request to have a Bible or see a clergy member. British officer John Montresor reported the young man conducted himself with great composure as he marched to the gallows on September 22.\nBefore his death, Nathan Hale made one of the most memorable statements of the Revolution, when he allegedly said, \"I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country.\" Hale apparently made much more lengthy comments in which he condemned the British and made it clear that he was proud of his role in the rebellion.\nNo grave has ever been discovered for Hale, but numerous statues of the blond haired, blue eyed spy from Connecticut have been erected in his honor. Numerous schools, buildings, army installations and a US submarine have been named for this 21 year old hero of the American Revolution as well.\nSeptember 28, 1781 - The Siege of Yorktown begins\nReturn to top of Nathan Hale is hanged",

        "raw_content": "Getting back on track on November 11\nMany PATCO riders experienced minor delays getting to and from their destinations on Tuesday, November 11 during their afternoon and evening commutes. PATCO would like to share details about the unexpected and rare situation with you.\nOn Tuesday, November 11, PATCO passengers experienced minor delays getting home during the afternoon rush hour. What the passengers didn\u2019t realize was that these minor delays were the side effect of a bigger problem \u2013 a train disabled east of Haddonfield with a blown motor and a locked axle\nJust after lunchtime, the operator of a eastbound PATCO train noticed smoke coming from the engine. He immediately stopped the train, inspected it for damage and determined that the train could not continue its eastbound trip. A new train was sent to pick up the passengers and get them safely to their destinations.\nWhen PATCO maintenance staff opened the engine compartment, they discovered that the motor \u2013 just put back into service the previous Thursday after a major overhaul that cost $17,000 \u2013 had completely blown, and the thousands of feet of copper wire that should be wrapped around the motor core had come unraveled. \u201cIt looked like spaghetti,\u201d says John Rink, PATCO General Manager.\nOrdinarily, PATCO crews can just turn off that particular motor to move a disabled train out of the way, since the wheels can still turn. This time, though, the axle that the motor powered had seized due to the failure, and the wheels wouldn\u2019t turn.\nImagine trying to push a shopping cart with a frozen wheel - now imagine trying to push a train car that weighs about 80,000 pounds, also with a frozen wheel. This was clearly a problem.\nCompounding the problem, the disabled train was stopped on top of a switch which allows trains to move from one track to another. Since the train was stuck on the switch, no other eastbound trains could get by and the only way to run trains around the disabled train would have been to direct all trains to go to the next closest switch located between the Collingswood and Haddonfield Stations, cross over to the west track and then travel eastbound all the way back to Woodcrest station in order to get back on east track. This required a lengthy single track operation since trains cannot travel in both directions on one track. That is a huge distance to go with single track, resulting in a very limited service schedule that would have caused significant delays. PATCO crews were determined to move the train off the switch to avoid major service disruptions.\nKeep the trains running\nFortunately, this incident occurred in the middle of the day, rather than during rush hour, so PATCO staff had time to plan for the afternoon rush hour. \u201cOur main priority was to keep the trains running and provide the most service possible,\u201d Rink says. \u201cWe realized we could provide full service during the afternoon rush-hour and come back later to move the disabled train.\u201d\nUsing another train, crews slowly and carefully moved the disabled train off of the track switch track, to enable power to the signaling system to be restored and to allow PATCO to operate a full service for the rest of the afternoon, albeit with some delays. Just after 5:15 pm, though, because of the increasing volume of rush-hour trains, PATCO passengers began to incur delays between 5-12 minutes until shortly after 6 pm.\nIt wasn\u2019t until much later that evening that crews from several PATCO departments \u2013 Transit Services, Equipment and Way & Power \u2013 teamed up to move the disabled train back to the main yards in Lindenwold.\nLuckily, they had the right tool for the job \u2013 a special dolly that could be placed under the frozen axle, enabling the wheels to roll. They placed the dolly on the track and then, using a large rail-mounted crane, lifted the car just enough to slide it into place beneath the seized axle\u2019s wheels.\n\u201cWe bought that dolly about ten years ago just for a situation like this and thankfully never had to use it,\u201d Rink says. \u201cWe\u2019d practiced with it in the shop yard, but this was the first time we needed it.\u201d\nThey placed the dolly on the track, then, using an enormous crane, lifted the car just enough to slide it into place. Using the crane is limited to main-line tracks in New Jersey where there is nothing overhead.\n\u201cThe effort could have been even more complicated.\u201d says Rink. \u201cIf it had broken down underground in Philadelphia or Camden or on the bridge, where there\u2019s restricted vertical clearance, we would have had to use hydraulic jacks and it would have taken several hours to raise the car.\"\nOnce the seized wheel had been lifted onto the dolly, which took about an hour and a half, the train could be pushed back to the yards. To prevent further mishaps, the crew moved the train at about 5 mph, a little faster than a person walking briskly.\nWay & Power personnel inspected the rails at Haddonfield for possible damage from the seized axle, pronounced the track good for operation at normal speeds, and PATCO was ready for the Wednesday morning rush-hour.\nThe overhauled motor is still under warranty and is being returned to the vendor for a failure analysis. While the cause of the motor\u2019s failure has not yet been determined, and despite the fact that such incidents are very, very rare, Rink will be demanding a detailed explanation from the vendor. Other PATCO employees with many years of service commented that they had only seen one other motor come apart enough to lock an axle like this in their 20-plus year careers on the line.\nThe motor had just been refurbished, as part of a $2 million project to ensure the motors are ready for the upcoming winter season. Having a motor rewound and overhauled at a cost of about $17,000 provides significant savings versus the expense of engineering, designing and building replacements. The cost of a brand new motor is approximately $30,000.\nPATCO has stepped up the pace of refurbishment, though, trying to get the fleet ready in case the Greater Philadelphia region experiences another bad winter like last year. \u201cWe check all the motors every 30 days,\u201d Rink says. \u201cWhat\u2019s different is that in anticipation of the cold weather, we adjusted the maintenance criteria to send our motors for refurbishment sooner to maintain maximum performance of the inventory.\u201d\nCrane in place to lift train car\nDolly to be used to move frozen wheel axle\nTrain car lifted just enough to slide dolly under wheel\nDolly in position under frozen wheel axle.\nNote yellow hoist at end of car that was used to lift the train car.",

        "raw_content": "LOCATION: 3rd Floor, House of Roosevelt, 27 Zhong Shan Dong Yi Lu, Shanghai\nIn June 2017, the library of the Royal Asiatic Society (RAS) China in Shanghai was re-located to the historic House of Roosevelt building at Number 27 Zhong Shan Dong Yi Lu on the Bund. The Roosevelt Club has provided a beautiful space on the third floor for the RAS library, which will be a resource centre and a quiet place of study for all RAS members. The RAS library will also host selected events and programs on the RAS calendar. The new library is near the site of the original RAS building, which is now the Rockbund Art Museum.\nThis move would not have been possible without the coordinated efforts of the management team at the House of Roosevelt, the office of the British Consulate General in Shanghai and supporters of the Royal Asiatic Society China, whom we gratefully acknowledge.\nHISTORY OF THE RAS LIBRARY\nTHE RAS LIBRARY was founded in 1868 by with the purchase of Alexander Wylie\u2019s collection of 718 books on \u201cvarious subjects related to China\u201d. Over the next 70 years it grew to become one of the most complete collections of English Language books on Asia in the world.\nBy 1937 it contained over 30,000 books and was housed on the third floor of the RAS building on Museum Road near the Bund (now the Rockbund Art Museum on Huqiu Road).\nDuring the late 1930s with thousands of refugees flooding into Shanghai, it was a tranquil haven for the residents of the International Settlement. It was recorded that over 6000 people would visit the library each month.\nThe RAS library survived the Japanese occupation and the Civil War, but was forced to close its doors in 1951. Most of its original collection now resides at the Xujiahui Library (The Bibliotheca Zi-ka-wei).\nIn 2007, THE RAS LIBRARY was resurrected by a group of enthusiasts, and as part of that process we are starting to rebuild the RAS Library. Like the original RAS Library, our focus is on material related to China.\nThe Library currently holds over 3,000 books and archival material, many of which are old and not available elsewhere. Approximately 10% of our collection was published prior to 1945; our oldest book was published in 1857.\nThe RAS library is a private English Language library open to RAS members and RAS guests or special visitors. We are a read only library with no borrowing permitted. Members may view the library\u2019s collection or use the space for studying (free wifi available). We accept donations of books and DVDS and other archival material.\nRAS Library Hours\nThe library will be closed for a private function on Wednesday 16 January.\nMondays : 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm\nWednesdays: 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm\nSundays: 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm\nDRESS CODE TO ENTER THE RAS LIBRARY IS BUSINESS CASUAL. NO JEANS, SHORTS OR FLIP-FLOPS.",

        "raw_content": "Warner Archive - INDEPENDENCE DAY (1983) and ONE ON ONE on DVD\nINDEPENDENCE DAY (1983; Robert Mandel)\nThis forgotten sleeper of a character drama has been seen by very few folks since it was made in 1983. It got a VHS release, but it seems to have gotten lost in the years since it initially came out and so those that saw potbelly did so on cable at some point or during its undoubtedly brief theatrical run. It was directed by Robert Mandel who would go on to do things like F/X, BIG SHOTS and SCHOOL TIES. The most remarkable thing about it is its cast. Led by great performances from Kathleen Quinlan and David Keith, this is story of the trials and tribulations of some folks in a small town in Texas called Mercury. Kathleen Quinlan is a spunky gal photographer who has big dreams of going to school in Los Angeles. David Keith is an auto mechanic who has returned to town after failing to make it on his own away from Mercury. Their romance is one of the main plotlines, but there's also some heavier drama with David Keith's sister (played by Dianne Wiest) and her abusive husband (Cliff De Young). I've seen Cliff De Young play some scummy dudes on occasion, but this character is by far the darkest, scariest and most unpleasant in his career. De Young is a great and under-appreciated actor who did the lion's share of his most prominent work in the 1980s. He's one of those character actors that used to show up and do his thing and be solid every time. I find it intriguing that he is not all that well remembered now despite lots of great work. it might have something to do with the kinds of characters he played perhaps, I'm not sure. Dianne Wiest is also a spectacular actor and she has thankfully gotten some recognition in her time. She gives a powerhouse here and despite the downbeat nature of the movie her acting is by far the stand out of the movie. Other cast includes Richard Farnsworth, Frances Sternhagen and Bert Remsen. As much as the acting is great, I think my only quibble with the movie is that it veers so directly into the abusive husband story and kind of away from the romance. When that sort of thing enters into a movie, it can easily become the main focus and I just wish that wasn't the case here. INDEPENDENCE DAY starts out with some delightful sparks between David Keith and Kathleen Quinlan and I'd like to have seen the movie about the two of them only, but I guess that wasn't dramatic enough. The movie that we get does have some excellent tension for sure, I'll give it that. Overall, and it may be the Texas setting, this film feels of a similar nature to things like THE LAST PICTURE SHOW. This is far more sentimental in some ways, but it is a touching movie that is worth discovering.\nCan be bought on DVD here:\nhttp://amzn.to/1MDsVVy\nONE ON ONE (1977; Lamont Johnson)\nThis movie resonates with me in a lot of ways, but mostly because I remember being like the young Robby Benson character at the beginning of this movie. I used to shoot baskets in my driveway for hours at a time and sometimes until it got dark. I fancied myself a decent shooter after playing three or so years of h.o.r.s.e. with my dad and relatives and friends. In or around the sixth grade, I decided to put my currency where my mouth was and go out for the basketball team. It wasn't like I wasn't going to make it on the team. Whether I would play or not was another question. That thought didn't bother me, but I soon found myself in the midst of a grueling, absolutely not-fun situation in this whole being a basketball player thing. It just wasn't enjoyable. I was in over my head. Robby Benson's character is in over his head too. He's a star high school basketball player that gets courted by a university to play on their team. He takes them up on their offer, but he discovers that college ball is not at all like high school ball and he's gonna have to really work for it. It's a touching and memorable sports movie, but part of what makes it memorable is the filmmaking. Lamont Johnson is a name you may not know, but you need to look this guy up. If you start with his movie THE LAST AMERICAN HERO, you won't be disappointed. It's a moonshiner runner turned race car driver rags to riches story and Jeff Bridges plays the guy. It's a winner and is one of my very favorite films. ONE ON ONE is among his best work and he really shows a filmmaking flair that I feel really elevates all his work. From the opening of ONE ON ONE, even under the Warner's logo, we start to hear that young kid bouncing his basketball. I loved when studios were free enough to people put music or sound under the opening logos. It helps set a tone for the movie before you've seen an actual frame of it. Throughout the film, Johnson uses sound bridges in just this way and a good sound bridge can really pull you into a movie. Think about THE GRADUATE for a minute and you'll know what I mean. It's just a very artistic and thoughtful thing to do and when done well, it can make a film very poetic and lyrical. Johnson just understands the power of a great transition and he employs tons of them in this movie. It's one of those films you watch and feel how much care has been taken in its construction. Anyway, it's kind of a story that seems familiar from the outset, but they really give it their own voice between the filmmaking, Benson's performance and that of his female co-star - Annette O'Toole. I know I speak frequently about attractive ladies in movies, but O'Toole in this movie is adorable on a whole nother level. I find her delightful in this movie. She has this incredible vivacity and a rebellious attitude here that make her irresistable. Robby Benson is an underrated actor. He's one those actors that has not only talent, but also a star-power presence that lights up the screen. There were few actors that had his kind of \"aww schucks\" naivete combined with a truly remarkable naturalism. Benson in his prime was capable of an on-screen vulnerability that was totally captivating. ONE ON ONE is one of his best outings and I highly recommend it. It's an early Warner Archive title, but one that is well worth getting.\nCan be found on DVD here:\nhttp://amzn.to/1PoxBhc\nLabels: dvd review, Warner Archive",

        "raw_content": "Season for suicide\nFor some people the food, family and festivities of Christmas can be the loneliest time of year. People who are on their own feel more alone than ever and the financial strain on those who are less advantaged can be immense.\nAccording to Johannesburg psychologist, Colinda Linde: \u201cThere are those people who dread this time of year, and the incidence of depression (as well as suicide) is very high. The people I am referring to are those who\u2019ve had a recent loss \u2013 like a death or children who have emigrated. I also refer to those without a support network of family and friends. These people often rely on work to provide them with company, so the December holidays can be a time of isolation and loneliness.\u201d\nEven for those who are not alone, Christmas can be a painful period. Not all families are happy \u2013 there may be old disputes or separations and there may have been abuse or a recent bereavement. In these cases Christmas can be a reminder of these painful memories. For others with more difficult families, being forced to spend time with relatives whom they dislike, and having to be jolly and make conversation with people with whom they have nothing in common, can create vast amounts of tension and stress.\nAll this anxiety can lead to depression, and for depressed people, who already find it difficult to socialize and to experience joy in company, Christmas can be an especially trying time, and they may feel more isolated than ever.\nThe expense of Christmas and the pressure to spend more than one can afford on the latest and most fashionable gifts and expensive food and drink, can be another severe burden. The debts incurred and the feelings of guilt that surround this holiday period can lead to anxiety, stress and even to depression.\nTo cope with this Christmas stress, many people turn to food, over-the-counter medications, or drink too much to try to feel cheerful, using alcohol as a form of \u201cself-medication\u201d. It is important to remember though that the initial euphoria and sociability soon disappears, and the combination of lowered inhibitions, old resentments and alcohol can lead to quarrels and injured feelings. Colinda Linde states: \u201cIt is a \u2018quick-fix\u2019, so when you are sober again you have the side-effects of drinking \u2013 dehydration, slowed mental processes, nausea and depression.\u201d Alcohol and depression do not mix.\nAnother event where people tend to exceed the healthy limits of alcohol consumption is New Year\u2019s Eve. There are always very high levels of expectations that surround the end of the year and it tends to be a time when people look back at the year and evaluate their lives.\nStudents are one group who tend to be particularly vulnerable. They\u2019ve worked hard the whole year and there are expectations that by the end of the whole process they should be feeling a certain way. The reality can be an anti-climax.\nIn the face of the New Year, people should tone down their expectations. The end of the year is just a transition to another year. However the fresh start the new year offers is important. The sense of a new beginning is an opportunity to start again \u2013 but then again, people must also be more realistic about the New Year resolutions that they make.\nA new study undertaken in Sweden shows that the number of men who kill themselves leaps more than tenfold on New Year\u2019s Day. In South Africa, an increasing number of suicides around this time has also been noted.\nTelephone counsellors at the Depression and Anxiety Support Group are gearing up for calls from all over the country who are likely to feel isolated and alone over Christmas and New Year. The Support Group can be contacted on (011) 783-1474/6.\nIf you feel someone you know may be suicidal, there are certain things that you can do to help:\nKNOW THE DANGER SIGNALS\n\u00b7 Previous suicide attempt - Those who have attempted to kill themselves have a 20-50% higher risk for taking their lives.\n\u00b7 Talking about death and suicide \u2013 People who commit suicide often talk about it directly or indirectly.\n\u00b7 Planning for suicide \u2013 Suicidal individuals often arrange to put their affairs in order.\n\u00b7 Depression \u2013 Although most depressed people are not suicidal, most suicidal people are depressed. Serious depression can be manifested in obvious sadness, but often it is expressed instead as loss of pleasure or withdrawal from activities that had once been enjoyable.\n75% of all suicides give some warning of their intentions to a friend or family member.\nBE WILLING TO LISTEN\nTake the initiative to ask what is troubling them, and attempt to overcome any reluctance to talk about it. If your friend or relative is depressed, do not be afraid to ask whether he or she is considering suicide, or even if they have a particular plan or method in mind.\nBe actively involved in encouraging the person to see a physician or mental health professional immediately.\nIN AN ACUTE CRISIS\nIn an acute crisis, take the person to an emergency room or walk-in clinic at a psychiatric hospital. Do not leave the person alone until help is available.",

        "raw_content": "NGUBANE & Co. Chartered Accountants was established in 1995 as an accounting and auditing firm. Its service offerings have since grown to include financial advisory, forensic investigations, business and IT consulting.\nThis black owned multidisciplinary professional services firm is driven by commitment to deliver best services, with every member of the firm committed to a career and lifestyle of discipline, balance, continual learning and goal orientation.\nThe South African Professional Services Academy spoke to Founder at Ngubane & Co. Chartered Accountants, Bhekabantu Wilfred Ngubane, about his personal, professional and entrepreneurial journey since 1995.\nWhat inspired you to join this profession?\nAt the time when I started school at Msinga, where I was born, the community standard of measure of being educated was the level where one was able to write and read letters written to distant relatives, more particularly those local men who worked in Johannesburg. This is the service that we provided to the community with great joy since we got exposed to all the breaking news and some confidential information, e.g. reporting to husbands that \u201cumakoti useqiwe izinyanga ezimbili\u201d Looking back, I always realise how lucky one was to pursue schooling beyond that standard of measure, up to a high school level. I was introduced to bookkeeping by my ex high school mate who was working as a trainee work study officer for a motor assemblies\u2019 firm, looking at the salaries for advertisements in the media for pay packages of accountant was a further motivation factor to resolve to study for the accounting qualification.\nWhat does the role of Founder mean to you in the organisation?\nI am priviledged and humbled by the role we play in availing training opportunities and indirectly creating employment to yound and aspiring black professionals who come from previously disadvantaged backgrounds. It is encouraging to see people providing for themselves and for others.\nWhat would you like your legacy to be at retirement?\nMy wish is for the firm to continue growing and become a firm which, when future generations look at it, they bow in humility when they think or read of the background of the forefathers who built. One would like to have a firm that leaves a kind of similar impression you get when you look at and read about the pyramids of Egypt.\nMy role is to create an environment where people will prosper. I have a complementary leadership where our professionals are supported, be it administratively or strategically to achieve our company goals, objectives, and have a sustainable business.\nEveryday is a new day for me, literally. Whilst we have short, medium, and long-term plans, I believe in practicing the work hard today to ensure you are in business the next day. I always compare our nature of business to the life of a bird, which even if there is so much fruit on one tree at a specific time, it can never take the fruits away for storage. Similarly, every year we have challenges, the tender processes, we need to be on the pulse to get work given the challenges in our economy and the global economic challenges. We must be at the fore-front of any socio-economic changes. We are faced with diminished quality of professionalism in our space and we need to figure out ways to get the best. It is a concern that our education system does not produce the same quality of post matric candidates even though it is the same education system. Is the majority of people who come through our education system employable?\nWe have a structured programme where people are linked to certain mentors. Regular feedback is encouraged at regular intervals. I sometimes do public speaking to encourage younger professionals to think of starting their own initiatives and empower themselves. I do encourage our senior officials to open up to the younger generation about their experiences and knowledge over the years, this goes a long a long way in creating a learning environment and skills exchange.\nA definite high is the over 250 employees we have since we started Ngubane & Co. in 1995. The lows for me would be between 2005 and 2006 when we lost 4 directors in the firm That was a big blow, such is life. The greatest beauty of time is that it heals.\nWe have grown over the years, but we want to have a balanced scale in terms of having 35% of our work come from the private sector and 65% in public sector. This will assist us spread our work load evenly throughout the year. We are working on re-branding Ngubane & Co. that should be very interesting to allow for our growth and success over the years.\nWe are taking our code of ethics seriously so that our employees don\u2019t take this for granted. We endeavor to make ethical behavior a lifestyle of every employee of Ngubane. We are working on making values like the prayer in everything we do.\nBy default, the very nature of our business supports those individuals in our society that were denied and deprived of opportunities. We are not there yet, but we are doing our best to bring our women on board in terms of leadership positions because it is our strategic commitment.\nWe make it a point that we support those that are still studying to improve their skills with funding and giving them space when they need it during examinations and study breaks. We financially support a Makeke Rehabilitation Centre in Tembisa monthly. We are passionate about CSI projects in education, health and women issues:\nA Daycare in Alexandra, and Madimanlou Farm School.\nWe work with people and for people consequently there are times when some disagreements and complaints arise. When such happen, we do our best to resolve such without delay to keep our clients happy. We do thorough evaluations of the work that is done by our employees o to ensure quality work is delivered.\nChasing money has become a secondary priority, I am for the creation of opportunities and hope for others to help others and our communities to grow.\nI am a casual runner in the mornings, we spend time at the movies and church with my wife as our four children are old and live on their own. Visit the Ngubane & Co. website for business updates of the work we do. I am getting all the help I need to run my personal Twitter account, watch the space!\nPWC'S HEIN BOEGMAN - DIVERSE LEADERSHIP YIELDS BALANCED DECISIONSWSP'S VISHAAL LUTCHMAN - MENTORING SELF-BELIEF",

        "raw_content": "LOOK, MORE PAGES!\nWhat is this, again?\nOf Pipe Dreams and Duck Presses\nWelcome to the latest update on \u201cSaturday\u201d the book: the update that\u2019s produced only slightly more often than new episodes of \u201cMatlock\u201d.\nSorry about the super long hiatus since the last \u201cSaturday\u201d update (he said, erroneously assuming anyone remembered him). I can see by the hatch marks scratched into the cell wall that I haven\u2019t written an update since August.\nThe way I figures it, there are at least a couple of solid reasons for not posting for so long:\n-Coma (preferably one brought on after some kind of Evel Knievel-esque stunt like jumping over a dozen flaming sharks and a swimming pool full of ravenous school buses).\n-Marooned on a desert island. Out of curiosity, why always desert? There are lots of island types to choose from: Tropical, glacial, traffic, etc.\n-Held for ransom. By\u2026I don\u2019t know\u2026sentient apes or something. The Simian-ese Liberation Army.\n-Cornered in the bathroom by a really big spider.\nNo dice on any of those, though. I\u2019ve mostly just run out of things to say about Saturday. Though not completely on other topics. And if you really miss my pointless nattering, you can sign up for \u201cIllustration Monthy-ish\u201d HERE. It\u2019s my once-per-month-max-no-more-than-that-I-promise newsletter about my recent illustration projects and\u2026well, that\u2019s pretty much it. So, if you like that kind of thing\u2026good news!\nAnyhoo, since my last transmission I\u2019ve been focused on the new book (and some paying work because living indoors is my favorite). I\u2019m having a ton of fun with it. I may have mentioned this before, but I\u2019d rather make the things than sell the things. But I\u2019m pretty sure that\u2019s the mournful wail of most people who make stuff. Particularly the Willy Lomans like me.\nThe whole time I\u2019ve been trying to half-heartedly sell \u201cSaturday\u201d, I\u2019ve also been secretly hoping someone (like a big store or a major publisher) would magically appear and graciously offer to sell the book and give me the money while I pursue my maniacal creative endeavors. A kind of corporate sugar daddy, to use a creepy term that makes me want to shower. Part of me always knew it was a pipe dream (I just looked it up and this phrase refers to opium and not, as I\u2019d previously thought, plumbing).\nAnd then\u2026it actually happened. A major retailer began selling \u201cSaturday\u201d.\nI know, it\u2019s hard to believe. Particularly given the incredible effort I\u2019ve been putting in since\u2026uh\u2026August. Or ever, I guess. Nevertheless, I now have a heavy-hitting retail outlet in my corner. And that retail outlet is Goodwill of Silicon Valley.\nYes, at some point, someone out there bought or, more likely, was given a copy of \u201cSaturday\u201d and it wound up with the good folks of Goodwill Industries. Most likely inside a beat up cardboard box along with an ugly fitted sheet (sans top sheet and pillowcases) and a video cassette of \u201cTango and Cash\u201d.\nAnd they\u2019re selling it for fifty bucks (shipping not included).\nSo if you\u2019re looking for a copy of \u201cSaturday\u201d or you\u2019re in the market for a 1993 Disney World t-shirt that smells like cigarette ash and Mr. Pibb, go see the good folks at Goodwill of Silicon Valley!\nAlso, the holidays.\nHey, in case the sound of Christmas music at the gas station didn\u2019t tip you off, the holidays are right around the corner! Yes, they\u2019re waiting just out of sight to pounce and take your money, like a drifter with half a pair of scissors and a hankerin\u2019 for cheap scotch. The good news is that I\u2019ve made a special holiday gift guide for those of you who know people or are people with a serious book habit and a jones for something unique.\nNoah\u2019s Gift Guide:\n1.) \u201cSaturday\u201d, by Noah Kroese.\nWelp, that about wraps up the gift guide! Act now and you can pick up this wacky book for just $35! That\u2019s an incredible deal. It\u2019s 42% less than what it would cost you to buy this book at Goodwill of Silicon Valley. Also, they\u2019ve only got one copy. And it\u2019s used.\nUse your computing machine to buy a brand spankin\u2019 new copy here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0692476326\nOk, ok: A one-item list is super lame. Here are some other ideas:\n-Guava Jam, from a Kickstarter backer of mine who launched their own project: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/salmonandsable/wild-hawaiian-guava-jam\nI haven\u2019t had guava jam myself, but it seems neat.\n-The First Robot President: https://www.amazon.com/First-Robot-President-History-Humans/dp/0997792523 This is a book by a friend of mine and it\u2019s wacky and hilarious.\n-Rattlerstrap Paracord Survival Belts: https://www.amazon.com/RattlerStrap-Paracord-Survival-Black-Medium/dp/B00AGKL8CI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1480971776&sr=8-1&keywords=rattlerstrap\nGreat for people who wear pants and might need their belts to save their lives someday.\n-Finally, for the person who has everything: A duck carcass press. https://www.amazon.com/Matfer-Bourgeat-DUCK-CARCASS-PRESS/dp/B000KEJS22/ref=cm_lmf_tit_7\nThey say that people tend to give the gift they\u2019d like to receive themselves. Not so much in this case.\nWelp, there you have it. I\u2019ve run out of things to say once again, so I shall bid you adieu. If you don\u2019t see me or hear from me before then, happy holidays!\nPosted by Noah Kroese at 1:29 PM No comments:\nLabels: cartoon, comic, graphic novel, kroese, Noah, Noah Kroese, Saturday, Saturday the book\nDeath of a Crappy Salesman\nWelcome to the latest update on \u201cSaturday\u201d the book, where you\u2019re GUARANTEED to catch the hottest updates on a book that came out like a year and a half ago. I guess what I\u2019m saying is that reading these updates is about as informative and helpful as reading a musty old TV guide with Bee Arthur on the cover.\nSpeaking of breaking news: I\u2019m going to start posting these updates on the 15th of the month. I figure it will be loads easier to ignore these long-winded diatribes if there\u2019s a predictable date attached. I\u2019m also thinking of sending these through a different venue, so instead of coming through Kickstarter I\u2019ll probably send them through MailChimp. They would still have updates on \u201cSatudray\u201d, but they would also include what I\u2019m working on right now, including new illustrations and updates about my new book (the one about puberty). What do you think? Are you interested in something like that?\nIf so, sign up here: http://www.noahkroese.com/blog/\nIn other news: I doubled my sales on Amazon last week! Pretty incredible, I know. I\u2019ve now sold a total of two berks. But I don\u2019t want you to treat me any differently now that I\u2019m a massive, break-out success. Yes, \u201cSaturday\u201d is selling like hotcakes. At a militant gluten-free, anti-capitalist commune. I also received an email from Amazon that basically said, \u201cYour books ain\u2019t exactly flyin\u2019 off the shelves. Want them back?\u201d There\u2019s nothing quite like the largest retailer on Earth delivering a bracing dose of humility right to your doorstep.\nI\u2019m\u2026uh\u2026I\u2019m bad at the whole selling thing. I\u2019m Willy Loman sitting gloomily in the audience of a Ron Popiel infomercial. I\u2019m Shelley Levene frowning in a Silicon Valley conference room. I haven\u2019t even heard of half the words these tech bros are bandying about. I have no idea what \u201csynergistic\u201d means and I don\u2019t *$%#@ care.\nI\u2019m about to say the most un-American thing I\u2019ve maybe ever said. Joe McCarthy is about to roll over in his grave (he was a jerk anyway). I don\u2019t like hotdogs. No, wait\u2026that wasn\u2019t it. Freedom Sticks are delicious and help build strong stomachs (because they\u2019re made from them). What I meant to say was I don\u2019t want to be a salesman. I don\u2019t like it. I\u2019m not good at it. I\u2019m not interested in being better. And every minute I spend trying to polish the turd that represents my sales acumen is a minute I\u2019m not doing the thing I probably should be doing. The thing I actually want to do. The thing I\u2019m halfway good at: Making new things. I want to spend my time drawing weird, fun, different books. Full stop.\nOf course, selling my work is part of what allows me to make new things. Money, it turns out, is somewhat completely crucial to continuing to make new stuff, live indoors, and eat regularly. Some might argue that, however distasteful, selling is an inevitable and necessary part of the show. Selling is a little like radio commercials. Insipid, asinine, embolism-inducing radio commercials. However much they make you want to rip your radio out of the dashboard, grind it into dust with your teeth and then spit the dust into a volcano, commercials pay for the music or programs you listen to.\nSo here\u2019s the plan: I\u2019m going to dial back the selling part a bit. Not completely, but enough to free up more time to keep making new things. Things like this:\nI\u2019m not giving up on selling the book. I have a few things left to try out. For instance, I\u2019m going to try to get a digital version of \u201cSaturday\u201d out in the world to hopefully let more people see it (even though I think print is the best way to read it). I\u2019ll also do book events now and then.\nBut Life is short. Too short to spend time doing things that make me miserable. And if ever there comes a reckoning point before or after someone pats me on the face with a shovel, I\u2019d rather say I made more things than sold more things. Bang up job so far.\nSo, just to recap: Iff\u2019n you want to hear the latest about what I\u2019m working on, mosey on over to this address and sign up: http://www.noahkroese.com/blog/\nI thought about just dropping all the email addresses I have from the Kickstarter campaign, but something about that feels creepy. I know signup means an extra step for you (sorry), but I\u2019d rather ask you to opt in than add another email to your inbox without your permission. In the words of the sage, Wilford Brimley, \u201cIt\u2019s the right thing to do.\u201d\nSign up and you\u2019ll keep getting \u201cSaturday\u201d updates AND see whatever this odd shut-in has been drawing lately. I\u2019ll share projects, sketches, and my dumb, dumb thoughts. And they\u2019ll come right to you once a month, like the worst paperboy in history. What do you say?\nPS: It embarrasses me to say anything sincere or heartfelt. It feels like letting a stranger look through my refrigerator, and I\u2019m ashamed of a lot of the stuff in there, like Freedom Sticks. But here goes anyway: I remain, as ever, grateful for your support. There\u2019s no two ways about it: I wouldn\u2019t have been able to get this far without your help. You helped make this book into an actual thing you could hold in your hands. That means everything to me. Thank you. Thank you. Ask your doctor if Freedom Sticks are right for you. He or she will definitely say no.\nPosted by Noah Kroese at 8:45 AM 2 comments:\nLabels: cartoon, children's book, comic book, drawing, graphic novel, illustration, Noah Kroese, Saturday, Saturday book, saturday children's book\nWell, I'm not sure if the video of my speech at the TEDx conference will be posted or not, but, as the Magic 8-Ball would say, \"It looks doubtful.\" So, in lieu of the video, I'll just post the text, along with the accompanying images. Also, fair warning: If you think my normal updates are long-winded, this one is going to seem like listening to Alan Greenspan read a James Michener novel aloud.\nHello. My name is Noah Kroese, and I\u2019d like to begin today with a moment of respectful silence for the ordinary human being.\nWe try so hard, us mortals. But the fact is that we\u2019re nothing more than fleshy water bags who work in offices, pay bills, and sometimes forget the \u201clefty loosey, righty tighty\u201d rule. We live in anonymity and die in obscurity, about as noticeable as a potato. Sure, some of the brave or foolhardy ones will try to do interesting things, never aware of the insurmountable gulf between our own averageness and the creative and intellectual luminaries who can actually make meaningful contributions.\nOne of the many ways in which my own overwhelming averageness can be measured is in my inabilities, which I have in spades. I can\u2019t do that thing where you stick your fingers in your mouth and whistle. I can\u2019t do math or spell words in my head. And I\u2019m really bad at estimating distances of either the literal or metaphorical kind. That last one is important, because it turns out I\u2019ve been overestimating the distance between us average schmucks and those creative and intellectual giants. My whole life. By a LOT. But I didn\u2019t know that until I wrote and illustrated this book called \u201cSaturday\u201d.\nI\u2019m an illustrator. It\u2019s not the most common job, but it\u2019s not unheard of. And just about every aspect and every result of my job is so normal it\u2019s near invisible. When you\u2019re leafing through a magazine or scrolling through a website and, for a millisecond, you glance at an accompanying image and then can\u2019t remember you even looked at it? That\u2019s what I do. I draw the things you can\u2019t even remember you saw. I do so from home, which is even more boring than an office because there\u2019s no one around I can chit chat with or steal lunch from. Maybe the only extraordinary thing about what I do is how much I love it.\nI\u2019ve pretty much always loved to draw. I drew when I was a little kid. A lot. But I wasn\u2019t a prodigy. My drawings were awful. Mostly ninjas. Some robots. But mostly ninjas. And again: If there was anything extraordinary about my drawing it wasn\u2019t the quality, it was how excited I was to be doing it. I loved it so much that I didn\u2019t care how awful I was at it.\nI also read a lot. And by \u201creading\u201d I mean, you know, looking at pictures. Holling Clancy Hollings books, Tintin adventures, Rien Poortvliet, Frank Frazetta. These weren\u2019t human beings. Somewhere, probably in some stately marble hall where your footsteps echo and you speak in reverent, hushed tones, there were bronze effigies to these titans who never ate ketchup or worried about the power bill.\nEven as a kid, without being told, I understood they were special people. In another league. From another planet. Like Krypton or \u201cLook at Me I\u2019m So Special and Perfect Planet\u201d (that\u2019s in the outer edges of the Jerkwad solar system). That\u2019s not something people like me can do. It\u2019s not something ordinary people do. It\u2019s something other people do; people with innate abilities and knowledge that I don\u2019t have and can\u2019t obtain.\nBut I was having fun, so I wasn\u2019t afraid to be drawing in the long, deep shadow cast by their talent.\nLater on, in spite of what turned out to be totally sensible advice from my mom, I went to college and majored in art, drew crummy political cartoons for a couple of years, and eventually blundered into freelance illustration.\nSo there I was wallowing in my own averageness, driving around a mostly un-rusted 1994 Toyota Camry and eating at the finest gas stations when I had this idea for a book. One that I\u2019d never really seen before.\nTo be fair, I was terrified. Scared enough to sit on the idea for several years because of that fear of my profound ordinariness. I didn\u2019t know the first thing about writing or illustrating books. In fact, the reason my imaginary book had gathered dust on an imaginary shelf was because every time I thought about starting it, I would think first about the laundry list of things I didn\u2019t know how to do. And it was a long list. It had regular points and sub-points.\nBut I was also curious. And I knew it would be fun. Drawing is the one place where I\u2019m willing to follow my curiosity in spite of my own reservations. What\u2019s the worst that could happen? Well, I guess the worst that could happen is that I would start drawing the book and somehow my face would catch on fire. But it\u2019s more likely that I would try it, it would turn out crappy, and I\u2019d give up. And that\u2019s not so bad. If that turned out to be the case, I could just bury the idea in the back yard like a goldfish or a burned quiche and no one would be the wiser.\nSo that\u2019s how \u201cSaturday\u201d started. It was about as profound as a rerun of \u201cWheel of Fortune\u201d.\nWhat I had in mind was a king-sized graphic novel/children\u2019s book with a lot of lavishly drawn detail in every panel. It would have weird characters, goofy jokes, and cultural references, sure. But what I really wanted was a book that the 10-year-old me and the 30-year-old me would both want to pick up and explore. I wanted to make something that you could get lost in. And I did get lost in it. The aspects of the book that made it unique and exciting to me also made it an astounding amount of work. \u201cSaturday\u201d took me nearly nine years to finish. And every inch of it was fun.\nNow, it\u2019s super important to note that I don\u2019t think \u201cSaturday\u201d qualifies as great art or that, having finished \u201cSaturday\u201d, I\u2019m now among those luminaries with their own bronze statues. But I DO think it\u2019s cool. I think it\u2019s fun and interesting. But that\u2019s beside the point. Even if you think it\u2019s worth its weight in soggy bread, you can look at this book and see how much work it took to bring this thing to fruition. It\u2019s an intimidating amount of work. One I never ever thought I would be able to finish. I was always my biggest doubter and critic. Mostly because of my own acute awareness of my extraordinary ordinariness and of the distance between a human like me, who once shaved off his own eyebrow, and the kind of genius and talent capable of making something cool.\nBut I didn\u2019t sit down one day and say, \u201cI think I\u2019m going to make an epic, sprawling, ambitious book\u201d and then just do it. Ever see one of the old timey cartoons where someone dangles a carrot on a fishing pole in front of a donkey to get it to pull a cart? It was more like that. The drawing was so much fun that I didn\u2019t even notice the cart was behind me. And also because of that fun, I pulled that cart a distance I thought couldn\u2019t be crossed by someone like me. Because I have to be tricked into doing anything worthwhile.\nIt\u2019d be like if I ate nothing but fried mozzarella for six months and at the end I found out I had accidentally competed in a triathlon. I never actually meant for something productive to result. I just think cheese is really, really delicious.\nI think my concept of how cool things get made was also a bit screwy. I guess I\u2019ve always imagined that, not only were there brilliant people who were bestowed with godly artistic or intellectual acumen, but also that these people thought of what they wanted to make and then instantly willed those things into existence. I never thought about Faulkner pacing around and chewing the end of a pencil in frustration or Renoir having to throw a sketch into the trash because he got nacho cheese dip on it and then he tried to wipe it off real quick but it just smeared and made it worse. But we\u2019re not privy to their struggle, so we assume it came easily to them.\nRemember that first thing I said? About how ordinary people are and how they can\u2019t accomplish anything interesting? I still think half of that is true. People are ordinary. But it\u2019s the ordinary people who do interesting things. And the art and literature and science that I admire and adore? Pretty much all of that was all authored by regular folks. It\u2019s a thought that\u2019s both depressing and exciting at the same time. Depressing because it means there aren\u2019t really superhumans. There\u2019s something comforting about the idea of infallible people who always have the right answers. Maybe because we could turn to them like kids turn to parents when they\u2019re confused or scared and need answers. But it\u2019s exciting because it means we, ordinary people, can make extraordinary contributions in spite of our own infinite limitations.\nSo go forth and be ordinary.\nGo and make your thing, whatever it is. And when you\u2019re struggling with the work and with yourself and your fears about whether or not someone like you can actually make something cool, don\u2019t forget that you\u2019re an ordinary human being. That there\u2019s a proud legacy of average humans making abnormally great stuff. Part of a very long line of people who sometimes put the milk away in the oven, bang their shins on coffee tables, and sometimes create things beautiful enough to make your heart stand still. That your struggle with ordinary is part of the distillation that\u2019s responsible for lovely things to come to fruition.\nPosted by Noah Kroese at 7:00 AM 1 comment:\nLabels: cartoon, children's book, comic, digital drawing, digital illustration, drawing, graphic novel, illustration, kroese, Noah, Noah Kroese, painting, Saturday, Saturday the book\nComiconclusions!\nI\u2019ve just returned from the northern metropolis that is Spokane, Washington. The hard streets of Spokane needed a hero; someone to fight evil and stand up as a shining beacon of strength and decency. Maybe not the hero they deserved, but at least one they needed. I was not that person. I drove up in my so-normal-it\u2019s-nearly-invisible Honda Civic, set up my table, made polite and unassuming conversation, and then quietly left at the end of the day. But at the end of that day, I knew I had made a difference to the city of Spokane. Because I paid $10 to park there and that money goes to the city. Unless that garage was privately owned, in which case I made no difference whatsoever.\nAlso when I left I had to drive around a bit because I couldn\u2019t find the highway onramp. I feel like that\u2019s not something heroes do. It\u2019s not even something moderately-competent people do. But there we are.\nI was there for one thing and one thing only: The 10th Anniversary Lilac City Comicon. More specifically, I attended said comicon to hock my wares like a sullen, crooked-toothed Brit selling pewter teapots on Portobello Road (it should be noted that my only experience with said road and market is from the movie \u201cBedknobs and Broomsticks\u201d, but I remember the song being pretty good and I\u2019ll watch anything with Angela Lansbury in it).\nHere\u2019s what my table looked like:\nI had never been to a comicon before yesterday, so I wasn\u2019t exactly sure what to expect. My preconceived notions pretty much all came from TV and movie stereotypes of comicons; unwashed hordes of overweight, fishbelly-pale single men shuffling around, pushing up coke bottle glasses and debating through excess-spittle lisps about whether DC or Marvel has better comics. And, to be fair, there were a few of those in attendance.\nBut mostly, there were people of just about every stripe, excited to be around their tribe. Some of them were super hip-looking, attractive, and looked like they spent a lot of time in the gym. I was not one of those, either. If I wanted to break out into a sweat and feel bad about myself, I\u2019d just re-file my tax return.\nI have a confession: I know you probably think I\u2019m the coolest guy in the entire world. I know I do. But it turns out I\u2019m closer to the TV stereotype of a comicon goer than I am to the suave, debonair, James Bond-like image I\u2019m sure you have of me. I\u2019d be a dead ringer for James Bond if James Bond never killed, punched, or insulted anyone, if he slouched and dressed a little dumpy, and if he were played by Don Knotts.\nBut there\u2019s at least one place where I walk with confidence and even bravado: Nerdville. The Nerdosphere can sometimes (unfortunately) be more snobbish and exclusive than a country club run by Robin Leach. Fortunately, I carry my nerd credentials around with me at all times, like a scarlet letter made of useless pop-culture references and obscure trivia. Don\u2019t believe me?\n-I can quote eight seasons\u2019 worth of episodes of \u201cThe Simpsons\u201d. Almost verbatim.\n-I get genuinely excited about Ken Burns documentaries.\n-I have seen every single episode of \u201cStar Trek: The Next Generation\u201d.\n-I used to go to Star Trek conventions. In costume.\n-I have a Lieutenant Worf Commemorative plate.\n-Oh, also I spent nine years writing and illustrating this dorky book called \u201cSaturday\u201d. That one\u2019s a duesy.\nHold on a sec, I have to fend off ladies with a pointy stick.\nSo, in spite of having never been to this specific area code of Nerdville, I\u2019ve lived in the city limits my whole life. Here are my observations of this particular corner:\n-It\u2019s hard to feel out of place at a comicon.\n-Not knowing a lot of the cos-play characters made me feel old, like going to the grocery store and no longer recognizing any of the celebrities on the covers of gossip magazines. But the costumes were, for the most part, RAD. My favorite was the person dressed as Barf from \u201cSpaceballs\u201d (again, because I\u2019m old). You can see a bunch of the costumes here:\nhttp://www.ifindcosplay.com/Cosplay/Lilac-City-Comic-Con-2016/\n-There are TON of talented people in the world.\n-Sometimes I wasn\u2019t sure if a person was in costume or not.\nI\u2019m not sure I\u2019ll be a regular at comicons. I don\u2019t know if \u201cSaturday\u201d fits there or not. But I was happy to sit at my table amongst a sea of tables full of cool stuff made by interesting people; the evidence of their strange and wonderful excitement and myopic pursuit of the stuff they love. Surrounded by people similarly disposed to love weird and obscure things. Some of them dressed to the nines and looking for all the world like a very large group of misfits who have shed the polo shirts and khaki pants of their mild-mannered, normal person disguises and donned their freak flags.\nIt was neat-o. That\u2019s all I\u2019m saying.\nLabels: art, cartoon, comic, comic book, comicon, digital drawing, drawing, graphic novel, illustration, lilac city comicon, Noah Kroese, painting, Saturday, Saturday book, Saturday the book, sketch, spokane washington\nEvent: Lilac City Comicon!\nPosted by Noah Kroese at 10:21 AM No comments:\nWelcome to the \u201cSaturday\u201d update; a never-timely and never-truncated account of the exploits of a mild-mannered illustrator who secretly fights the forces of common sense and dignity in an attempt to foist his book on to unassuming citizens who were minding their own business.\nSorry about the delay on this one. I had a couple of irons in the fire. Said irons are now cooling, so I can yarn for a spell.\nHave you ever watched a rodeo on TV? There\u2019s always a part right before the ride starts where the camera shows the bull rider in the pen with the bull. The rider is adjusting his grip and doing other rodeo man things and thinking god knows what. Could be anything.\n1.) \u201cI\u2019ve made some interesting life choices.\u201d\n2.) \u201cI should have been a freelance illustrator.\u201d\n3.) Nothing whatsoever. This is probably the smartest thing to do. But also maybe how he came to be sitting on a rage-filled 1000-pound steak in the first place.\nI also wonder what the bull is thinking. He is, after all, also in that tiny little pen. He has a performance coming up, too. I wonder if he\u2019s nervous. Every once in a while, he\u2019ll buck against the pen and the whole steel cage shudders like it\u2019s made of popsicle sticks and pipe cleaners. Like he just wants to remind everyone involved they\u2019re about to have no fun. It\u2019s MAYBE going to last eight seconds, but it will feel like watching three back-to-back family comedies starring Ice Cube.\nRegardless of what the bull is thinking, he\u2019s upset, he\u2019s probably got some poo on his flank (which adds to his upsettedness) and his job is to go out and rage until someone gets hurt. Like the CEO before a board meeting at Chipotle. Heyy-oooo.\nWell, to me, the run-up to speaking events feels a little like that part in the pen right before the ride. And I am NOT the bull. I\u2019m the guy sitting on top of an unstoppable pile of muscles, suddenly a little self-conscious about the way I\u2019m dressed, pretty sure I have no idea what I\u2019m doing, and aware of just how small I am.\nBut the gate opens and then there\u2019s no time to think. There were a string of rides recently. Here\u2019s how they went once the gates opened:\n-Prichard Book Event (two weeks ago): Generous hosts in my favorite art gallery. A modest-sized, warm crowd. Afterward, I got to meet a whole flock of ginger kids who looked like the Weasleys and were super cool and very, very sweet. And I know this is going to sound cheesy as all get-out, but meeting them made every struggle and every tiny indignity worth it. Ten times over.\nPhoto credit: Jade Janes Stellmon\n-The TEDx talk (two days later): I practiced for weeks. I sat in the pen before the gate opened. There were maybe 300 people in the crowd. I started out pretty strong, but nervousness and some slide malfunctions threw me off a bit. And then my mind went completely blank. There was just NOTHING there. I forgot everything I was supposed to say. And, for the first time in my life, I was so scared that I literally had the thought: \u201cI could run away right now. I could run off the stage and hide somewhere and no one would find me and hiding would make it better because then people wouldn\u2019t be looking at me anymore.\u201d\nAnd then I paused, figured out generally where I was, and finished it up. I think I finished fairly strong, but I couldn\u2019t tell you. People were nice about it, though. If the video gets posted, I\u2019ll share the link.\nWhat I learned: Forgetting my speech in the middle of giving the speech in front of an auditorium full of people was NEARLY the worst thing that could have happened at the worst possible time. Maybe the only thing that would have been more embarrassing is if I had poo on my flank. But it happened and I didn\u2019t explode. I felt like I was going to, but then I didn\u2019t.\nI also had the privilege to meet some pretty astounding people. The other speakers and the organizers at the event were brilliant and funny. It was an honor to share the stage with them.\nPhoto credit: Irish Martos\n-Gibson\u2019s Book Event (four days later): Gibson\u2019s was SO kind to have me. And it was a lovely bookstore. If you\u2019re in Concord, go. You will find something you love there, I promise. The crowd was very nice. And, as Greg Proops said, \u201cThey honored every one of my jokes with a moment of respectful silence.\u201d I don\u2019t think the presentation was appreciably different from the other times I\u2019ve given it. Maybe they didn\u2019t know what to expect or I was giving off strange vibes. But whatever it was, it felt like I bombed.\nAnd again, I did not explode.\n-NEC Student Talk (24 hours later): This was a talk I was asked to give to art and design students at New England College. It was about my experiences as a professional illustrator. I think the college wanted a \u201cboots on the ground\u201d perspective for students to consider. And I did just that. I spent maybe an hour explaining how I got started, what a typical day is like for me, and what I\u2019ve learned by doing this for well over a decade. It was great good fun, the crowd was responsive and asked good questions, and I had a phenomenal time. Plus, the people at NEC could not have been more gracious and accommodating.\nPhoto Credit: Devon Mozdierz\n-NEC Illustration show (one hour later): Directly following the talk, there was a show of selected illustrations of mine (mostly from the past four to five years). This was my first show since college. Again, the good folks at New England College thought of every detail and took care of everything. They did a beautiful job hanging the work. There was a lovely reception where I had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with students and faculty. It really could not have been cooler and it was an honor to speak and show my work for them.\nThis round of rides is done. I\u2019m brushing the mud off and scampering away while some very helpful rodeo clowns (the only acceptable kind of clown) are keeping the bull from wrecking me further. The scores have been tallied and they\u2019re not bad. I\u2019m not taking home whatever prize you get if you win the rodeo (A belt? A lifetime supply of Ben Gay? A scholarship to a technical college where you can learn a trade that\u2019s NOT riding a dangerous animal?), but I did ok.\nI\u2019m grateful for every opportunity I\u2019m given to tell people about \u201cSaturday\u201d. I want to share it with people and, so far, this is the best way I know how. But it\u2019s scary for me every time. Standing in front of people doesn\u2019t come easily or naturally to me. Maybe it\u2019s the same for bull riders. Maybe they\u2019re not even scared of the bull. Maybe the real fear comes from the crowd. That screaming, frenzied crowd made up of individuals who nevertheless become one massive thing. A monolith whose power and judgment can make you a god or a soggy piece of sidewalk trash at its whim. Maybe that\u2019s the true heart of fear.\nNever mind. That\u2019s crap. Bulls are scary as hell.\nWhelp, I\u2019m off to look for another rodeo. BTW, if you haven\u2019t left a review on Amazon and you\u2019re game to do so, please do. It will help me out a lot.

Its supreme authority is the Council of Representatives, who are clinically active professionals appointed by the participating hospitals. The number of Representatives of each hospital depends on the number of organ transplantations carried out in the hospital. The Board of the association is responsible for the day-to-day operations. It consists of one person from each participating country plus a chairman. The office of the organization is placed at Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark. The office maintains the Scandiatransplant database and services the association and its users.\nAccording to the by-laws, the purpose of the Scandiatransplant organization is fourfold:\nScandiatransplant shall effect the exchange of organs and tissue between the participating transplant centers.\nIt shall operate a database and communicate information from it.\nIt shall contribute to promoting the provision of humans organs and tissue for transplantation\nIt shall support scientific activities.\nWith the exception of pancreatic islet cells, the activities of Scandiatransplant have only been with organ transplantation.\nAll Nordic patients waiting for an organ transplantation are listed on one common list for each organ. Scandiatransplant ensures that all necessary data are available for the transplant professionals to allocate the organs according to rules adapted by the association and monitors compliance with these rules.\nScandiatransplant is also used as the link between the Nordic transplantation community and the rest of the world.\nBy-laws: Articles of Association for \"Foreningen Scandiatransplant\"",

        "raw_content": "Students from Smallest Towns Winning One of Canada\u2019s Biggest Scholarships\n20% of Schulich Leader Scholarship recipients hail from towns of 8,000 or less residents\nFor decades, students residing in smaller towns across Canada have shared the same mentality regarding success: that it doesn\u2019t come easy. It\u2019s a story as old as folklore - in order to \u2018make it\u2019, one must leave his/her rural community for the big city, where resources are plentiful, the lights are bright, and information is far more accessible.\nHowever, thanks to The Schulich Foundation\u2019s staunch efforts to promote Schulich Leader Scholarships to aspiring students across Canada, this outdated perspective is finally being kicked to the curb.\nFor the upcoming academic season, fifty Schulich Leader Scholarships were awarded to students who\u2019ve excelled in the STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) subjects. This year, nine of fifty students selected nationally come from rural parts of Canada.\nFor at least five of them, they were introduced to the scholarship thanks to the Foundation\u2019s presence at their respective schools. While agreeing with the doctrine that coming from a small town has its challenges, they attest that it also helped their chances at being selected.\n\u201cIt\u2019s harder to get recognized on a bigger scale when you\u2019re from a small town,\u201d explains Sandra Smeltzer, selected by Queen\u2019s University with an $80,000 engineering scholarship. \u201cBut there was also more opportunity. Teachers were always there to help, and it was easy to get involved with extracurricular activities.\u201d\n\u201cThere are tons of opportunities to get involved,\u201d adds Allyson Evans, who will attend Dalhousie with a $60,000 scholarship to pursue a science degree. \u201cYou just have to find them.\u201d\nAccording to Wesley Finck, an aspiring engineer set to attend the University of New Brunswick, community involvement is a key component to getting recognized. For example, each of these students have a passion outside of academia: for Mary Hickox, selected by Queen\u2019s towards a science degree, it\u2019s dance; for Smeltzer, figure skating; for Somerset, fundraising. \u201cFor students looking to succeed, I would say join as many clubs as possible.\u201d says Finck.\nAs tuition at major universities is often a major financial strain on families, receiving the Schulich Leader Scholarship allows winners to focus solely on their studies. \u201cI\u2019m awestruck by this opportunity,\u201d Hickox admits. \u201cI come from a low-income family, university itself would put a financial strain on my family, so this scholarship, it\u2019s hard to describe the impact it\u2019s had on my life.\u201d\nNaturally, coming from tightly knit communities, the reception for scholarship winners has been nothing short of incredible. \u201cIt\u2019s really a great honour to receive this,\u201d says Victoria Somerset, who will attend Dalhousie for engineering. \u201cPeople I\u2019ve never met are coming up to congratulate me in grocery stores and malls, and I\u2019m so lucky to have received this opportunity. I believe this gives me a real chance to give back to the community, and teach others that with passion and determination, you can achieve whatever you want to.\u201d\nAccording to its president, David Stein, the Schulich Foundation \u201chopes that universities and other rural high schools promote this prestigious scholarship opportunity to potential candidates on an annual basis.\u201d He notes that the Foundation takes great pride \u201cin helping identify budding scientific innovators in all pockets of Canada.\u201d\nSomerset, reiterating Stein\u2019s sentiments, adds, \u201cOne thing about this scholarship is that Schulich notices people regardless of where you come from, and gives others in our community hope. Even though you come from somewhere really small, it\u2019s ok to have really big dreams.\u201d",

Despite their size, they exude a tranquil elegance through their simple form and unadorned surface.\nMoon jars were mostly produced from the mid-17th to mid-18th century, at kilns in Gwangju, Gyeonggi Province. Although they are now treasured as a quintessential expression of Joseon art and culture, in the Joseon era they were used as containers for liquor or food, as well as for display.\nCopyright Collection of the National Museum of Korea, Seoul\nEarth, Fire and Soul: The Spirit of Joseon Korea Through the Art of Clay\n3pm Saturday, 24 June 2017\nSEACS has arranged the Curator of Chinese art at the Asian Civilisations Museum (ACM), Kan Shuyi, to give an introductory talk on Joseon Ceramics. Ceramics was one of the major forms of Joseon material culture and a key expression of Joseon artistic identity. The distinctiveness of Joseon ceramics was evident in porcelain painted with underglaze decoration, but it was perhaps best exemplified in buncheong (\u2018powdered celadon\u2019) ceramics that encapsulated the experimental spirit of Joseon potters.\nAbout Kan Shuyi\nKan Shuyi is the Curator of Chinese art at the Asian Civilisations Museum. She received her BA (Hons) in History from the National University of Singapore and MA in History of Art and Archaeology of East Asia from SOAS, University of London. Since joining ACM in 2007, she has curated and co-curated several exhibitions at the Museum, including The Kangxi Emperor: Treasures from the Forbidden City (2009), Terracotta Warriors: The First Emperor and His Legacy (2011), as well as Secrets of the Fallen Pagoda: Treasures from Famen Temple and the Tang Court (2014). She has been excited by the opportunity to delve into the world of Korean art and history with her latest exhibition, Joseon Korea: Court Treasures and City Life (2017).\nThis event is open to SEACS members only as space is limited.

Keep in mind that the injury doesn\u2019t have to be physical but such could be mental or emotional in nature. Know that for the personal injury claim, the injury should be a result of negligence by another party. Even if negligence was not intended, such doesn\u2019t matter in the eyes of the law. The party is still held liable.\nIf you got involved in any type of situation that resulted in an injury, the first thing that you need to do is to call for a personal injury lawyer. There are a lot of New York attorney offices which would speak to you briefly on the phone to give an advice if you have a claim. When determined that you do have a claim, the next thing that should be done is to look for a personal injury lawyer who is great for you and for the case. It may be the first attorney which you could ask when you or you do not have a case. It is really important that you spend time in finding personal injury attorneys in NYC before you decide about which you should hire to handle your case.\nIt is really imperative that you search for a personal injury attorney in NYC who is great for you. You should know that finding the personal injury attorney is definitely one important factor to have such great outcome of the case. You should take the time to get such part right. The future can rely on this. So how should you look for the best NYC lawyer to take care of the injury claim. You can actually start through compiling a list of NY injury lawyers who could litigate the case.\nTry listing 10 to 12 attorneys. You will then have to speak to each of them on the phone after you have listed the attorneys that you wish to consider. The goal would be to shorten the list and also arrange for a consultation with the ones who are left on the list after the first phone contact.\nYou must first go by the vibes for such stage. When you get every attorney on the phone, you will then have to talk about your case briefly and then ask if he or she thinks that you have such legitimate claim. You should listen to the response and focus on your first impression. When you are impressed or you like the things so far about an attorney, then you can arrange for an initial consultation.\nShort Course on Products \u2013 What You Need To Know \u2192",

        "raw_content": "Constraining Near-Surface Seismic Wave Speed Based on Body-Wave Polarization Analysis\nUnderstanding the seismic responses of cities around the world is essential for the risk assessment of earthquake hazards. One of the important parameters is the elastic structure of the sites, in particular, near-surface seismic wave speed, that influences the level of ground shaking. Many methods have been developed to constrain the elastic structure of the populated sites or urban basins, and here, we introduce a new technique based on analyzing the polarization content or the three-dimensional particle motion of seismic phases arriving at the sites.\nPolarization analysis of three-component seismic data was widely used up to about two decades ago, to detect signals and identify different types of seismic arrivals. Today, we have good understanding of the expected polarization direction and ray parameter for seismic wave arrivals that are calculated based on a reference seismic model. The polarization of a given phase is also strongly sensitive to the elastic wave speed immediately beneath the station. This allows us to compare the observed and predicted polarization directions of incoming body waves and infer the near-surface wave speed.\nFigure 1: Geometry of the incident, reflected, and observed particle motions for incident (a) P and (b) S waves at a station (triangle). The particle motion or polarization directions are shown by arrows for P (blue), S (red), and apparent direction (purple). The angles \u03b8 and \u03b8\u0304 correspond to the incident and the apparent polarisation directions of the P wave, respectively, measured from the vertical (dashed line). Similarly, the angles &straightphi; and &straightphi;\u0304 correspond to the wavevector directions perpendicular to the particle motions of the incident and the apparent polarisation of S wave, respectively, measured from the vertical.\nThe relationship between the body-wave polarization and the near-surface wave speeds is derived and it is demonstrated that P-wave polarization direction has no sensitivity to subsurface compressional wave speed but only to shear wave speed. The counter-intuitive reslationship arises from consideration of the reflected waves at the free surface (Figure 1). S-wave polarization direction, on the other hand, is sensitive to both compressional and shear wave speeds. Combining the P- and S- polarization directions measured by principal component analysis, therefore, provides estimates of both P- and S-wave speeds at shallow depths, for example, the top hundred metres. The polarization measurement and the wave speed estimation are computationally efficient, providing tremendous opportunities to study near-surface seismic structures of different parts of the world, some of which may be difficult to obtain using other computationally-intensive approaches such as noise correlation or invasive and expensive approaches such as well logging.\nFigure 2: Near-surface Shear Wave Speed estimated using polarization analysis (Left) and measured from well logging (Right). The velocities are in km/s.\nThis approach is applied to High-Sensitivity Seismograph Network in Japan, where we benchmark the results against the well-log data that are available at most stations. There is a good agreement between our estimates of seismic wave speeds and those from well logs, confirming the efficacy of the new method (Figure 2). In most urban environments, where well logging is not a practical option for measuring the seismic wave speeds, this method can provide a reliable, non-invasive, and computationally inexpensive estimate of near-surface elastic properties.\nPark, S. and Ishii, M., 2018, Near-Surface Compressional and Shear Wave Speeds Constrained by Body-Wave Polarisation Analysis, Geophysical Journal International, 213, 1559\u20131571, doi: 10.1093/gji/ggy072.\nBack to other research projects.\nDepartment of Earth and Planetary Sciences / Harvard University / 20 Oxford Street / Cambridge / MA 02138 / U.S.A. / Telephone: +1 617 495 2350 / Fax: +1 617 496 1907 / Email: reilly@eps.harvard.edu",

        "raw_content": "Earlobe Repair Surgery Procedures NYC\nEarlobe repair is a simple procedure that restores the look, integrity, and natural shape of your ears. Common issues related to the earlobe are easily corrected to reverse damage resulting from age, heavy or large earrings, or trauma.This procedure is ideal for earlobe hole closures to repair a split or hole that has developed over time, elongated and stretched earlobes from heaving earrings and correction of severe deformities resulting from large hoop earrings. Heavy jewelry or large gauges can cause the earlobes to elongate or tear. Aging and development can lead to large earlobes that can make you feel self-conscious, or that can prevent small earrings from staying in place. Any severe deformity that results in large earlobes is eliminated using the earlobe repair procedure. This reduces the size of the earlobes and makes them proportional to other features of the face. At Selfie Plastic Surgery we understand the best way to repair your earlobes that will give you the best results with minimal recovery time.\nCommon Earlobe Problems\nA pierced earlobe that is often exposed to heavy jewelry is most likely to stretch, split or tear. Although this can occur over time, earlobes can also be damaged by accident. Earrings get caught in clothing and can cause trauma to the tissue. Ageing is another common source of elongated earlobes. Just as gravity affects other parts of the body such as the breasts to sag, it can have the same effect on ageing earlobes. Others may seek correction of their earlobes that have been stretched and elongated as a result of wearing large gauge earrings. Often these patients present with a severe deformity to their earlobes requiring a more reconstructive approach which may be more challenging to restore the natural shape, however it is often achieved within the initial repair procedure. Earlobe repairs can also be done for purely cosmetic reasons. If you\u2019re unhappy with the look of your earlobes, an earlobe repair can offer a simple and effective solution.\nThe following are some of the types of procedures available:\nGauged earlobe repair\nSingle/multiple hole closure\nThe Benefits of Earlobe Repair\nEarlobe repair can be done quickly and with minimal discomfort. There is little downtime, and you can be back at your normal routine within a couple of days.\nEarlobe repair is ideal for anyone who has some damage or deformity of the earlobe. Frequent candidates include those who have worn gauge piercings in the past and are looking to restore their appearance for personal and professional purposes. The earlobes return to a natural shape and size and can be re-pierced within a couple of months if you choose. This procedure can help restore self-confidence and minimize signs of ageing. Healthy looking earlobes can enhance the look of your entire face.\nThe treatment involves carefully marking the treated area, sterilizing and stabilizing the earlobe to allow an incision to be made for correction. Once the procedure is completed, the earlobes are reattached using fine sutures. The procedure is performed using local anesthesia and magnification to allow small areas to be treated with the highest level of accuracy. This allows you to get a natural curve to the earlobe that is proportional to the entire outer ear. The sutures generally stay in place for about a week, however most patients return to work the next day.\nThis procedure, which can be completed in as little as 10 minutes per side, will undo years of damage from jewelry, accidents, and ageing. You\u2019ll restore the look of your ears and restore your natural appearance.",

        "raw_content": "New NRA National Firearms Museum Open To Public\nThe long awaited new National Rifle Association National Firearms Museum is now completed and open for viewing by the public. Construction began in December 1997 and was completed in late May 1998.\nCovering approximately 15,000-square-feet, the museum displays historically significant firearms from 1350 to the present. The 85 exhibits are housed in 13 galleries containing photographs, graphic art and period objects, along with the firearm collections. This new museum is four times the size of the old museum housed within NRA\u2019s former headquarters in Washington, D.C. that closed in late 1993. Construction costs totaled about $2.5 million for the new museum. An endowment of $10 million is being established to fund the museum\u2019s operation in perpetuity.\nDisplaying more firearms than the museums of the Smithsonian Institution, the collection encompasses a diverse assortment of civilian and military firearms, accouterments, ammunition and accessories. More than 2,000 guns are on permanent exhibit from the museum\u2019s total collection of 3,500. Nearly all were donated.\nDuring the ribbon cutting ceremony held last May, then NRA president Marion P. Hammer said the museum, \u201cIs more than a window to America\u2019s history-it is a crucial link to our nation\u2019s future, and to the survival of Second Amendment freedom in the hearts and minds of future generations. This museum will stand as a permanent repository of American history and liberty-a tangible tribute to the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights.\u201d\nThe museum\u2019s overall theme is the display of firearms to give a tribute to America\u2019s history, and heritage in a series of exhibits forming a chain stretching back to this country\u2019s founders. The firearms are actually representative of the deeds of courage, sacrifice and valor of various endeavors Americans have engaged in.\nDisplays features firearms from the Old World, the American colonies, the French and Indian War, the American Revolution, the Lewis & Clark Expedition, the Mexican and Civil Wars, the American West, the Gold Rush, World Wars I and II, Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm and other significant periods and events.\nThe wheelock musket brought to America on the Mayflower by Pilgrim John Alden is on display, as are guns of other notables such as Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte\u2019s shotgun, sharpshooter Annie Oakley\u2019s rifles, General Douglas MacArthur\u2019s pocket pistol, mystery writer Erle Stanley Gardner\u2019s guns, exhibition shooter Ed McGivern\u2019s revolvers, and the arms of presidents Theodore Roosevelt, Grover Cleveland, Dwight Eisenhower, Lyndon Johnson, Ronald Reagan, and George Bush.\nOther exhibits highlight the gunmaker\u2019s artistry with richly engraved and inlaid firearms. Air guns are also featured, as are the handcrafted pistols, rifles and shotguns used by Olympic competitors. Many of the guns are displayed against large scale dioramas representing such subjects as a colonial fort, the muddy trenches of World War I, and general infantrymen searching a demolished World War II enemy stronghold. Replicas of a Civil War arms factory, as well as the St. Louis, Missouri, rifle shop of Jacob and Samuel Hawken, creators of the famous Hawken rifle used by mountain men of the 19th century may be seen. U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt\u2019s Sagamore Hill combination library/gun room has been recreated. As the visitor enters, what appears to be a wall-length bookcase in the room will disappear to reveal a collection of high grade sporting arms displayed inside.\nThe circa 1903 Coney Island shooting gallery contains a restored boardwalk shooting gallery with fully-functional moving targets and sound effects (no shooting is permitted within the museum however). Originally steam-powered, the gallery was converted to electricity in 1918. When the visitor walks up to take a closer look at the three dozen Winchester 1890 gallery guns on the counter, a motion detector is triggered which sets the gallery into motion to a background of calliope music.\nInformation on all of the firearms on display is contained within fourteen interactive computer terminals located throughout the museum. To use, one enters the display case and gun numbers on a terminal keyboard, and detailed information about the specific firearms requested appears on a monitor.\nOn the second floor of the museum is a comprehensive firearms research library containing technical catalogs, journals, and other research materials. The library is open to the general public by appointment only. Call (703) 267-1600 for scheduling arrangements. The second floor also contains a firearm conservation laboratory where various preservation techniques are applied to the guns in the collection. Other facilities within the museum are a gift shop, and a multi-media orientation room. A changing exhibit gallery, funded by a $1 million personal gift from William B. Ruger, founder of Sturm, Ruger & Co., Inc., features significant firearms on loan from other prestigious institutions and private collections. Every six to nine months a new collection will be highlighted within this gallery.\n\u201cI feel the National Firearms Museum will tie together the history, craftsmanship, engineering, and design of firearms as an integral part of the heritage of this country,\u201d Ruger said when making the gift.\nSpecific Exhibits\nIn light of the need to interest more youth in the shooting sports, the \u201cFor the Fun of It\u201d gallery contains four exhibits of particular interest to youth. \u201cA Child\u2019s Room-Circa 1952\u201d is a recreation of a typical boys\u2019 bedroom of the period replete with toy guns displayed around the room and rolls of paper caps scattered on the dresser top, Boys\u2019 Life magazine and comic books illustrated with the adventures of western heroes are on display along with typical memorabilia associated with the period including 50-year old wallpaper and a linoleum floor with a \u201cHopalong Cassidy\u201d motif.\nAnother exhibit, \u201cA Youthful Acclamation\u201d displays popular modern youth guns, recognized as part of the traditional rites of passage for many shooters. The restored Coney Island \u201cShooting Gallery\u201d is up next, while the final exhibit in the youth gallery focuses on \u201cGas, Air & Spring Guns.\u201d\nVirtually every American boy has had an airgun at one time or another, since the advent of Daisy brand and other popularly priced products came onto the market during the first half of this century. Specimens within this exhibit also trace the development of the airgun from its military origins in Europe in the 16th century.\nAmong the more notable firearms on exhibit (in addition to the aforementioned wheelock once belonging to John Alden) is a Revolutionary War \u201cCommittee of Safety Musket.\u201d Prior to the war, the colonists formed \u201cCommittees of Safety\u201d throughout New England to train and arm forces capable of responding to an armed threat from the British within minutes of being called. On April 19, 1775, at Lexington Green in Massachusetts, these \u201cMinutemen\u201d used this musket and others like it to fight the first battle for independence.\nThere is also an air rifle on display thought to have been used by Lewis & Clark on their 1803 expedition. One of the largest exhibits details the development of the Mauser bolt-action rifle. The story of the role of firearms in the \u201cGold Rush\u201d era is told through a re-creation of an assayer\u2019s office and dry goods store with the firearms of Sam Colt and Ethan Allen.\nAn activist in the slavery abolition movement of the 1850\u2019s, William Ward Beecher, a New England minister, shipped crates of Sharps Model 1853 slant-breech carbines marked \u201cBeecher\u2019s Bibles\u201d to the anti-slavery forces headed by John Brown in Kansas. In 1859, Brown used these carbines to seize the U.S. Armory in Harper\u2019s Ferry, Virginia, before being beaten back by federal forces. The museum\u2019s carbine is known to have been amongst those shipped to Brown.\nThe origins of the National Rifle Association itself arose from events occurring during the American Civil War. After the war, Union military officers contemplated how close the Confederacy had come to winning the conflict. They concluded the war had ended favorably for the north due to the North\u2019s sheer numbers of men and superior resources.\nOf the 650,000 casualties suffered by both sides, the South had smaller losses. Close to 65% of the men who were killed had worn Union blue. The officers further realized that as the population of the country became more urban, the tendency of citizens to use firearms lessened. Additionally, soldiers at the time were not formally trained in marksmanship and no ammunition was allocated for practice. To resolve these problems, the officers envisioned the creation of a national organization that would encourage firearm proficiency. Thus, the National Rifle Association was formed in 1873.\nThe museum\u2019s floor plan is laid out to chronicle the history of firearms detailing the European development of gunpowder and the earliest matchlock and wheelock firearms are at the entrance. The role guns played in the development and exploration of the New World colonies is viewed next and the exhibits move on in time to the roles firearms have played in the most modern times at the museum\u2019s exit.\nLocated about 30 minutes from Washington, D.C., the museum is open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. but closed on major holidays. It is situated on the first floor of the NRA headquarters building at 11250 Waples Mill Road, Fairfax, VA 22030. Telephone (703) 267- 1600. Admission is free.\nPortions of the museum\u2019s collection can be viewed on the Internet at: http://www.nra.org/museum1.html.\nAs always, SAR urges visitors to the museum to \u201cTake a kid and drop a twenty in the donation jar\u201d in the interest of passing on the torch of knowledge, and helping to fuel that torch. In this case, the \u201cDonation jar\u201d is an 8 inch Naval shell that is sort of out of the way, but worth looking for.",

The vasectomy is obviously a lot more permanent than those other options, and as such, is stigmatised in a different way. Across much of Africa, men who get it done are perceived as weaklings, or worse still, told that they aren't men anymore.\nLast week saw the return of World Vasectomy Day, which moves around the world hosting awareness events about the procedure, especially in countries which are less receptive to it as a means of contraception/sterilisation. This year, the event was held in Nairobi, but there was a twist - doctors performing the 20 minute procedure were broadcast on Facebook Live.\nIt might seem a little bit grim, broadcasting footage of men getting their wires cut, but the point wasn't to make people uncomfortable, it was to show that there is nothing diminishing or emasculating about it.\nClearly they were doing something right, as more than 150 men turned up to have it done, and while they were going under the knife, Q&A sessions with experts were also held (and streamed) so that others could learn more about the workings and benefits of getting a vasectomy. Many of the men who showed up said they were doing it out of fear of paying to feed a large family, while others said they were doing it for their partners.\nIn either case, actually seeing how the process works, speaking to the men afterwards, and having experts on hand to unpack all the various misconceptions is a big step in the right direction. Facebook Live won't do much to spread the message to smaller African villages, but often social media awareness leads directly to word of mouth.\nKenyan Doctors Stream Vasectomies on Facebook Live to Encourage More Men to Get Snipped Reviewed by Callum Davies on Wednesday, November 23, 2016 Rating: 5",

        "raw_content": "Back to Archived blog posts. More lessons from the puppy\nOur puppy, Nano, is almost a year old. (We got him on August 2nd of last year.) At this point, we were hoping that we could let him have the run of the house while we are gone. Unfortunately, he has a desire to destroy things, so he has to remain in his kennel while we are not there to supervise him. We have to remove the temptation to \"sin\" so he won't tear up our things.\nThis brings to mind two examples from God's Word. In II Samuel 11, we read of how King David committed adultery with his friend Uriah's wife. He then compounded his sin of adultery by murdering Uriah to cover up his adultery.\nWhat led David into sin was that he \"tarried still at Jerusalem\" instead of going with his troops and then watched Bathsheba as she bathed. He put himself into a place of temptation and committed a terribly heinous sin. What is striking about this is that the Bible often describes David as a man after God's own heart.\nCompare and contrast this with the story of Joseph. He was sold into slavery by his brothers, and found himself in Egypt. Even here, Joseph was regarded well and served a man named Potiphar. When Potiphar's wife grabbed and attempted to seduce Joseph, he ran away from her. King David did not remove himself from temptation and suffered because if it. Joseph fled temptation and, while he suffered for a while, became the most important man in the region by helping Egypt through a famine.\nHaving a strong foundation in God's Word helps us resist the temptation to sin when it confronts us, but we must not be foolish. We all have a sin nature, and even the most faithful Christian can fall into sin given the right circumstances. This is why we need to be on our guard and not knowingly put ourselves at risk. Most people would never consider driving 75 miles per hour on a winding, narrow country road, even if he or she is an expert driver. We need to have the same attitude toward sin.",

        "raw_content": "Have you spent the lovely summer sitting in your garden or looking out your window, thinking \u2018I wish I could improve it\u2019? There are some good approaches you can take to start. You could ask a designer to come round, but there will be an expense; even at the point you receive your design plan, it may still be difficult to visualise.\nI prefer spraying my thoughts/designs, to scale, on my garden. With just a few tools, you can do this. You will need a can of spray paint, for spraying only on your grass (you can pick one of these up at most DIY stores); chalk, for marking on concrete areas; some string or string lines; a tape measure; some pegs and a straight edge. Some people will love the challenge of a project like this and enjoy every second spent out in the fresh air; others may feel this is way out of their depth and prefer to get help, even if, in part, to take the strain out of the project and deal with some of the hard landscaping.\nYou may already have a design in mind, but in any event, I would always recommend taking to the garden with the spray paint and chalk to get a feel of just how your garden would look. Once you are happy with the way it looks, the markings will stay there for a few days, which allows you to keep looking at it, either from the garden itself, or through your window, as you\u2019re walking past. By following this method, it makes it easier to envision the size and scale of your patios, pathways, and flowerbeds, and adjust any areas that may need it. Undertaking the hard landscaping part of your design is generally the messiest part, so by doing it in the autumn/winter \u2013 while you\u2019re not in the garden \u2013 is always the best idea.\nThis means, come spring, the difficult landscaping part will be complete, ready for the easy landscaping work. Using the planting to soften and finish the design will really set off your whole project, whether the plants are in pots or flower beds. Now here\u2019s the best bit: once all the work is complete and that first beautiful day arrives, you\u2019ll be able to sit out and enjoy that day, rather than thinking \u2018I need to get started on this project\u2019. You won\u2019t miss out on the summer and being able to enjoy that outdoor living that we all relish so much.\n| 6th November, 2013",

Yet, isn\u2019t free access to limited information better than no internet at all?\nThe tech-billionaire defended his initiative, citing a case where an Indian farmer would now have access to weather information, commodity prices, and investment advice, all of which would lead to a better business and higher profits.\nApparently, for India at least, Zuckerberg\u2019s gift is not good enough, and is an attempt to control the population and create a monopoly on information.\nWhether the project will go ahead and provide people with the basics of the 21st century or not is now in doubt.\nSo, has Zuckerberg badly misunderstood a cultural trait in which the Indian people do not wish for access to anything at the cost of their freedom? Or are the people of India throwing away a free gift which could create real positive change and connection hundreds of millions of people to the power of the web?\nWe\u2019ll see. As for now, Zuckerberg\u2019s intentions are being called into question, and the plan looks like it could potentially derail.",

For a photographer it is just full of great opportunities for wonderful photos of all the ladies dressed up \u2018to the nines\u2019 and wearing the most gorgeous hats and outfits you can imagine. Arriving slightly early so as not to miss anything we had chance to wander around the County Stand and take everything in before I got down to business. As you\u2019ve probably read I enjoy days out and take many photos for my own personal pleasure and this was such a treat for me. I must have taken hundreds of photographs but I\u2019ll just put a few on here to give you a taste of the day. I\u2019ve lived close to York for many years but it was only two years ago that I came to my first meeting and now i\u2019m hooked. It really is such a great day out and I can\u2019t recommend it enough. The four days of the Ebor festival are definitely the highlight of the racing season at York but there are still a few great fixtures left before the end of the year and well worth a visit.

        "raw_content": "STEUBEN COUNTY D.A. WINS APPEAL, PERRY FACES SECOND TRIAL FOR FRAUD, GRAND LARCENY\nDavid Perry, the only suspect in the disappearance and probable murder of his then girlfriend St. Pete Police Cadet Kelly Rothwell seems to be getting some karma coming back around to him and there couldn't be a more deserving guy on the planet. Steuben County District Attorney Brooks Baker will get another shot at David Perry for Fraud and Grand Larceny charges stemming from an alleged Work-Comp related accident in 2003. Perry who was convicted of those same charges in Broome County and sentenced to 4-12 years originally was also charged with those same offenses in Steuben County. But County Judge Joseph Latham threw out the charges on the grounds that the fraud had not been proven in the Broome County case. With that ruling he also negated the seizure of assets that New York State Police executed against him last year.\nEnter Broome County Asst. DA Sandra Cardone, who was finally able to convict Perry late last year of those charges. Her tenacity, through not one but TWO Grand Juries and two trials resulted in a conviction on Grand Larceny and Fraud charges and a 4-12 year sentence for Perry, who is currently in Downstate Correctional Facility in Fishkill New York.\nNow, with those convictions in hand, DA Baker, who had filed an appeal last year after Judge Latham's ruling, seemed to have the ammunition needed to propel his argument for Perry's trial in Steuben County.\nDA Baker's appeal was argued successfully by John Tunney, who retired after 35 years as the DA of Steuben County and is Baker's mentor. The case was reviewed by the judge who granted the appeal of his original ruling and has been added back into his trial calendar. According to DA Baker, who communicated to me by phone earlier Thursday evening, there is no news yet on an appearance date or what attorney will be representing Perry in this trial.\nAlso included in this ruling of the appeal is the money that was seized in Perry's house; $128,000 found hidden away as well as his other assets, including the new Honda he bought with cash, his house, (which he tried to sell while it was being used for collateral for his bond), motorcycles and snow mobiles. Baker said that he plans to take the $120 K they have been holding on his conviction.\nYou might have remembered that Perry ALSO was arrested in an assault charge while in the Steuben County jail. He beat up another prisoner, William Hargrave, with a mop bucket and put him in the hospital with a head laceration. Perry pled guilty on the assault and was sentenced to 9 months in jail. Since he was already IN jail, that case against him is finished. But with the weight of the conviction from Broome County, Perry seems headed for some more jail time. Baker said that if convicted, it will be up to Judge Latham to determine whether any possible sentence would run concurrently or consecutively. Lets hope the latter.\nI spoke with Nancy Rothwell, Kelly's mother, Thursday evening to tell her of the developments in Perry's case. She seemed pleased that at least some modicum of justice for her daughter might still be meted out. As she has said before, she knew Kelly was in a better place. a place where no one could hurt her anymore. There is still such a quiet sadness about Nancy...she grieves in silence. She has no closure, and she doesn't know where her daughter is, only that she's not home where she belongs.\nWhile I know that all of this is probably scant comfort for Kelly's family, at least they and the rest of the world, can rest a bit easier knowing that Perry is off the streets, for now.\nLets hope someone scares the crap out of him in jail, or maybe the thought of more jail time will make him talk and tell police what he did with Kelly's body. I have always maintained that he took her to New York with him right after he killed he in the Indian Rocks Beach condo they rented that March 11th. He is just mentally sick enough to think he's invincible and I think he knew plenty of places he could have hidden her body among the thousands of acres of state parks from New York to Oklahoma, where he had been traced right after be arrived back in Elmira. He has friends out west, in Arizona, who are convicted felons on drug trafficking charges; maybe they helped him...\nWhat is true and irrefutable is that David Perry is still the ONLY suspect in Kelly's disappearance and probable murder. From where I sit, he deserves to be where he is sitting for a long, long time.\nLets hope Judge Latham agrees.\nThe information contained in this blog post was obtained exclusively by me and may NOT be used without my express written consent.\nPosted by Leigh Clifton at Friday, February 21, 2014\nI hope they throw away the key.\nStill hoping for closure , Kelly's family needs a peace of mind.\nI am a snowbird who visits Eagle Lake Park several times each season after watching the Nancy Grace show on the anniversary of Kelly's disappearance. David Perry was seen there shortly after the disappearance and the Park was just opening at that time. It is a short drive from Indian Rocks Beach. We spoke to the occupant of the only house with a view of the back entrance. He told us the Sheriff's Dept had NEVER investigated that entrance (the most likely one he would have entered), they had NO CADAVER DOGS there, and he had never seen any investigative activity there after Kelly went missing. The only way a body would go undetected would be to have put her in the water (a short walk from this entrance). The Sheriff told Nancy Grace he had investigated the area of the Park but if he did, he was not in this most easily accessible area. I think the pond should have been drained IMMEDIATELY. She may have been taken to NY but I doubt it. This gate (Rosery Rd dead-ends here) would have been an obvious choice if someone wanted to get rid of a body. I feel for you and your family. My daughter's name is Kelly and I shall return there each season, hoping to find remains that might give you closure.\nIf you knew him though he wouldn't have left her in the most obvious place.he'd bring her back to somewhere he was 100% comfortable. His home. He's a monster like that. He is the worst kind there is he doesn't show remorse.\nSTEUBEN COUNTY D.A. WINS APPEAL, PERRY FACES SECON...",

        "raw_content": "An Unforgettable Film!\nA triumph for all - and a shout-out to little Bruce Ritchey as Reuben Widdicombe - it is one of the great perforrmances by a child\nSteven Tuck\nThis movie covers a subject seldom touched in 1962. Burt Lancaster and Judy Garland are opposing actors with opposite views on how mentally challenged children should be treated. Lancaster is the school master and Garland a newly hired teacher. Lancaster wants them to make it in the world while Garland wants to protect them from it. I think Garland agreed to do this movie because of her troubled childhood without a father and a domineering mother who viewed her as a pay check. She defends and tries to protect Rubin, a boy who has bonded with her. This is definitely another reflection of her own difficult childhood. Garland would star in but one other movie before her death, this time the story line relates to her own illegitimate child. She was great in this film and her last, I Could Go On Singing.\nNot the train wreck you would expect from the unholy combo of Kramer/Mann and Cassavetes. It's actually a fairly quiet picture (maybe a little too quiet, considering the combustible talents of Garland, Lancaster, and Cassavetes) that takes a thoughtful look at the best way to deal with mentally challenged (or as they were called when this film was made, \"retarded,\") kids. Lancaster takes the tough love, follow the rules approach, while Garland is the embodiment of Mother Nurture. Since this film was made in 1962, a good five years before Flower Power, and a good thirteen years before \"Cuckoos Nest,\" it's no surprise that Lancaster's hard ass wins out over Garland's softness. The film drags in spots and doesn't come fully alive unless the actual institutionalized kids are on screen, but I found myself liking it more than I disliked it, especially Garland's restrained (for her) performance. I guess, like most actors, she responded to Cassavetes' direction. Give it a solid B. P.S. Surprisingly non soapboxy script, considering who wrote it.\nclaudis williams\nmr. Lancaster and miss garland are 2 of my all time favorites....and I never heard of the film until I saw it today.I kept sking my self were the children actors or really mentally challenged. I kept holding back tears especially judy garland would pass away only 6 years later..i rate this as one of her finest pieces\nGreat, heartwarming movie\nA movie I try to catch each time it is played on TCM. A wonderful movie about children shunned by many of their parents and society who find a home here that teaches them that they have value and gives them hope. Painful to watch the role of Ruben has he left behind by his father who is horrified to see him drive off and seemingly abandon him at this home. Later he sees his mother who he has not seen in over two years also drive off without seeing him. You can feel both his sense of confusion and pain. But its the home that gives him the understanding and sense of belonging and value he seeks and needs. Later his father who has not seen his son in almost two years after talking to another parent of a child in the school begins to realize the problem was not his sons but his own lack of understanding and compassion. His son simply wants his love and its very touching to see the recognition of how wrong he was as he watches his son perform in a school play and father and son reunited in a embrace as the movie closes.\nI had never seen this movie before tonight! It was absolutely amazing. Judy Garland was absolutely fantastic in her role, and I had not had the chance to see her in many films at this stage in her life. While I am not a fan of Burt Lancaster, I can honestly say that I did like him in this film, and felt that his portrayal of the Dr. was fabulous. I would highly recommend this movie to everyone.\nWell developed storyline\nCA_dreaming\nThis movie is a balanced portrayal of children with disabilities. It is a surprise; a heartwarming ending that is still realistic and not overly sugary. It is well-written, and the filming is excellent - for example, you find yourself mindful of the child's perspective when the camera looks up at a stern parent. This is a very enjoyable movie, and it is a shame that it is not available for sale on DVD. I can only conclude that the shameful treatment of people with mental disabilities continues and even if we want to own this movie, we are unable to buy it because some movie executive considers the subject matter appeals to too small a market. I would buy it. I would like it to be packaged with the movie \"Special People\" about the Famous People Players Theatre group - that would be a lovely set to have.\nrolf norlin\ni can't say how brilliant this film is from a practical/medical point of view. the characters were true to form, and gutsy casting for the time was excellent.. i only wish i'd been able to see this before.\nTali S.\nEven though I only saw the last twenty minutes of the film on Turner Classic Movies (TCM), I was instantly captivated by the storyline and its characters. Later that day after seeing it I looked it up and watched the rest online. From beginning to end, I found myself being drawn into the characters and sympathetic/understanding towards the situation. When I was younger, I volunteered at a hospital for medically-fragile children for five to seven years. There were so many events that I faced at the hospital that were portrayed in the movie. One example being the children's parents; some were very supportive and involved while others were quite the opposite. Those who became for close to the children found this to be incredibly heartbreaking...The professional actors portray their characters with sensitivity and ease. You never feel like they're forcing themselves into the characters or criticizing them. Instead, they give an honest and realistic depiction of the people who are personally involved with not only children, but people who are diagnosed with mental retardation, autism, asperger's, emotional disturbance, and other forms of disabilities. Despite this film being back in 1963, it remains relevant to todays continual struggle with understanding where these people belong and what they can contribute to this society. It is a rare gem and often untouched topic in the film industry. High praise to all those involved in this movie.\ngipsiegirl\nWhy haven't I heard of this film before? It is one of the most compassionate, soulful films I have seen. I was aware of the inhuman conditions in many mental institutions at the time, but I had not thought about the flipside: a good institution fighting against society's apathy.Lancaster's and Garland's characters are fascinating, especially due to the tension between them, and beautifully acted. I would have loved to have seen more time spent on them. But the children were meant to be the real stars of the film, so more character development for the adults might have inappropriately shifted the focus.Initially, Lancaster's character struck me as a bit cold, but he won my respect as he fought to bring dignity to the lives of his patients, and protect his hospital from losing funds to more the education of more \"useful\" children. Although professional actors played the main characters, many of the children in the hospital were played by real kids with autism and other disabilities -- and they stole my heart. Which makes the callous attitudes of many other characters in the film even more appalling. The scene in which the loveless father calls his son \"defective\" sent me through the roof. I admire the filmmakers for being such strong defenders of children, who are completely vulnerable to the decisions of adults.\ni just wanted to say that i just bought this movie on DVD, from daaveedee.com. i will warn you that i could not play it on my DVD player, but i could play it on my PC. good luck......\nVirginia Beagle\nThis movie was so great from the subject it covered to the acting/directing. My daughter is a Special Ed Teacher, and she was also enraptured by the emotions and subject matter. It is truly a Classic, and needs to be on DVD for classic collectors. Not enough subject matter is available on the mentally challenged, therefore, it still carries an unfair stigma that these people are not capable of human emotions.\nMake this available on DVD\npat zubek\nI work at a workshop for DD adults and couod relate to this movie totally. I think it would make a valuable gift for some of my close coworkers.\nraymond j.clark\nI love this movie because i devoted my time helping children with mentally challedged.This movie reminded me of myself visiting 3 homes as well as schools full of children of mentally and physically challedged children ,how ms. garland did in the movie.I mean children with disabilities that we don't NEVER see in public view,because PARENTS keep them hidden and shunned them fear of public negetive attitude toward them from pointing,stares,teased,avold, and laughed at them front of their face.THEY ARE LOVABLE CHILDREN,they will hug you,will respect you, and treat you like you are part of the family.I don't get this treatment from NORMAL children and adults.not even my own family. ms.garland should win an award for this warm hearted story.UA/MGM should make this movie for DVD.Especially parents with children with mentally challedged.I WANT THIS MOVIE ON DVD.\nTHOUGHT PROVOKING, SAD MOVIE\nWhat a sad, enlightening and thought provoking movie about forgotten or discarded children (who we glimpse a view of as adults with the continued behaviors and mannerisms, just larger and more to deal with). I can't imagine that most of these children were actors, but real patients at an institution. Burt Lancaster and Judy Garland do a fine job in their roles as Doctor and Music Teacher. This is a more serious movie, requiring attention to view, not a happy date movie.\nWhat an excellent and heart warming movie, played by an outstanding cast! Definitely deserving of availability on DVD.\nJFHouston\nI just happened to turn TCM on when this movie was about 20 minutes in and found myself surprised to see Judy Garland in one of her later roles. Not always a fan of Ms. Garland, I was fascinated by the subject matter and the view of such an issue from the eyes of a 1960's standpoint. I think the film was amazing and I would love to see it again.\ntHIS FILM IS TOPS AND SHOULD BE RELEASED ON DVD.\nJudy is extrodinary in this movie\nI think this movie shows Judy at her more serious moments. She is just an excellent actress and I think she showed a side of her that she can do it all.",

        "title": "Dodge City",
        "raw_content": "Saturday May, 4 2019 at 12:00 PM\nWhile 1939 is acknowledged as the old Hollywood's banner year for classic films of every stripe, the Western genre benefited in particular. In the wake of such popular successes as The Plainsman (1937) and Wells Fargo (1937), the studio moguls stopped regarding the frontier drama as second-feature fodder and began assigning A-list talent and budgets to their prairie projects. As a result, '39 was marked by a veritable gold rush of classic oaters, including Stagecoach, Union Pacific, Frontier Marshall, Destry Rides Again, Jesse James and The Oklahoma Kid. Warner Brothers made its own deserving entry into this crowded field with Dodge City (1939).\nConfident that their swashbuckling superstar Errol Flynn could comfortably and convincingly swap his sword for six-shooters, Warners cast him as Wade Hatton, an Irish soldier of fortune whose travels took him to the Old West, trailblazing in the service of railroad mogul Colonel Dodge (Henry O'Neill). Within a matter of years, the eponymous Kansas community that sprang up at the juncture with Dodge's Texas line becomes rife with corruption and vice, with most of the graft funneling to cattle baron Jeff Surrett (Bruce Cabot).\nHatton, for his part, is content to shepherd wagon trains into Dodge, and on one such trip pursues a flirtation with Abbie Irving (Olivia de Havilland), en route to joining the household of her town doctor uncle (Henry Travers). Unfortunately, her immature yahoo brother (William Lundigan) drunkenly triggers a cattle stampede, and is trampled during a confrontation with Hatton. An embittered Abbie is unable to forgive the trail boss for his role in the tragedy.\nAfter a young boy is dragged to death in the wake of a shootout spurred by Surrett's cronies, Hatton determinedly assumes Dodge's long-empty sheriff's office with a pledge to clean up the lawless town. Surrett's efforts to buy him off only bring redoubled efforts on Hatton's part to find charges that will stick, and their duel of wills propels Dodge City all the way to its rousing finale.\nThe film-going public's response to Flynn as Western hero was so positive that he would go on to make a career niche within the genre - his resume as thereafter marked by Virginia City (1940), Santa Fe Trail (1940), They Died With Their Boots On (1941) and San Antonio (1945). At no time in Dodge City, or in any of his subsequent sagebrushers, did the Tasmanian actor make an effort to mask his clipped diction; Dodge City might have been the first and last time that screenwriters even bothered to explain it away. \"I felt I was miscast in Westerns, but this was impossible to point out to producers when the pictures were so highly successful,\" Flynn recounted in his memoir, My Wicked, Wicked Ways. \"While I couldn't understand the public buying me particularly, I could understand the Western, the frontier story, as a classic form of national entertainment. It is part of America's heritage, our history.\"\nAlthough Dodge City is accorded its place among the revered films where she displayed her palpable onscreen chemistry with Flynn, de Havilland regarded the project as a career letdown. She was tired of the string of ingenue parts Warners steadily provided, and her preference for the saloon singer role that went to Ann Sheridan went unheeded. \"It was a period in which she was given to constant fits of crying and long days spent at home in bed,\" declared Tony Thomas in The Films of Olivia de Havilland (Citadel Press). \"She was bored with her work and while making Dodge City she claims that she even had trouble remembering her lines.\" In context, it's very fortunate that the studio thereafter okayed her loan-out for a project she craved, portraying Melanie in Gone With The Wind (1939).\nDodge City is most memorable for its collection of elaborate set pieces, many of which would provide Warner westerns with stock footage for years to come and provide Mel Brooks with much of what was so side-splittingly spoofed in Blazing Saddles (1974). In the hands of house style-defining director Michael Curtiz and cinematographers Sal Polito and Ray Rennahan, the film boasts what remains the definitive saloon brawl in movie history. (In a moment that presaged Curtiz's work in Casablanca (1942), the fracas is sparked by ex-Confederates determined to sing Dixie over a spirited rendition of Marching Through Georgia). Also remarkable is Flynn's climactic confrontation with Cabot, set in a blazing mail car on a runaway train.\nNote must be made of Max Steiner's stirring score, as well as the film's rich roster of character players, largely drawn from the Warners lot. In addition to the aforementioned, there are distinguished efforts from Alan Hale and Guinn \"Big Boy\" Williams as the comic relief sidekicks, Victor Jory, Douglas Fowley and Ward Bond as Cabot's minions, and Frank McHugh as the newspaper publisher who provokes the heavies at his peril.\nProducer: Robert Lord\nCinematography: Sol Polito, Ray Rennahan\nEditing: George J.

        "raw_content": "The first-quarter 2015 financial report shows assets of $17.7 billion for the Central States Pension Fund. This is down from $17.9 billion at the end of last quarter, but still ahead of where it was seven years ago, after the 2008 crash.\nThe quarterly Independent Special Counsel Report contains little new information; mostly it repeats previous reports. It contains a summary of the new pension-cut law (MPRA), but no mention of the possibility of an independent audit of the fund with respect to the proposed cuts. The report has one sentence on the role of Sue Mauren, who was appointed as the Retiree Representative for 208,000 retirees, but refuses to speak, write or communicate with any retirees or retiree groups.\nThe Fund\u2019s number of retirees declined by 1% over the past year to 208,000 and the number of active Teamsters also declined by 1%, to 59,000. The ratio of those numbers (3.5 retirees per active participant) sums up the fund\u2019s biggest single problem. Over the 17 years Hoffa has been in office, that situation has become critical.\nThe average pension paid is $1131 per month. The fund trustees want to slash this number to balance the books, and plan on October 2 to announce their mean-spirited plan.\nTDU members went to federal court to win an order requiring the fund to provide us with the quarterly financial reports.\nA movement to stop the cuts is growing across the Midwest and South. Retirees and active Teamsters have formed committees in North Carolina, Ohio, Missouri, Minnesota, Wisconsin and elsewhere.

        "raw_content": "China\u2019s Latest in 5th Generation Fighters \u2013 Shenyang J-31\nChina has unveiled yet another 5th Generation Fighter Jet \u2013 Shenyang J-31, just after 19 months of unveiling the first stealth fighter, Chengdu J-20. The J-31 performed a short test flight on October 31st lasting only 11 minutes with 2 Shenyang J-11 flying as its escort.\nChina is known to be the third country to adopt the stealth fighter technology, with USA and Russia, and the second country to carry out two test flights of the stealth fighter jets.\nThe J31, according to Global Times of China, is a middle sized fighter jet which looks similar to the previous J 20 but is supposedly cheaper. At the time of the test flight, the engines were equipped with Russian middle sized thrust engines but will have the Chinese W31 installed in it later on.\nBy looking at the pictures of J-20 and J-31, one can easily understand that the J31 is smaller in size compared to the J20. It is said to have the capability of operating in aircraft carriers. The cockpit in the J-31 is placed much nearer to the nose of the aircraft whereas the cockpit in the J-20 is way further.\nNot much details have been given out but one thing\u2019s for sure that the J31 isn\u2019t a substitute of J20 instead would act as its complement similar to US\u2019s F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II.\nAfter thorough searching for a video of the test flight, I finally found one but sadly, it\u2019s pretty blurry. By watching the video, it seems its showing a top secret aircraft or an unidentified flying object (UFO) flying over China with a patriotic music in the background.\nWhenever we think of a product made in China, we all have that thought in our mind that it\u2019s probably copied from an original design. In fact, China has been implementing the \u2018copy\u2019 technique for military purposes too. The fighter\u2019s design lacks innovation and looks totally like the US\u2019s F-22 Raptor or the F-35 Lightning II. Just because the design has been copied it doesn\u2019t mean that the fighter isn\u2019t powerful enough in combat when compared to the US. We\u2019ll just find that out that in actual combat \u2013 but let\u2019s hope that never happens.\nIn this year alone, China will be spending more than $100 billion for defence purposes while the US will be spending over $700 billion. One of the main reasons for such a high increase in military spending for China is due to the test drive of the first aircraft carrier, missiles that will have the capability to shoot down satellites and of course, the stealth fighter program.\nThe US took around 9 years to come up with the second stealth fighter, the F-35 Lightning II and China took only 19 months, less than 2 years to come up with the second version. Just shows how serious the Chinese military is.\nLike the new design of the J-31?

        "raw_content": "Black History Month Celebration at Sam Rayburn House State Historic Site\nSubmitted by Justin Minsker on Wed, 02/28/2018 - 1:28pm\nBy Anne Ruppert, Sam Rayburn House State Historic\nIn honor of the African American community members who lived and worked on the Rayburn farm, the Sam Rayburn House State Historic Site hosted an open house on Saturday, February 10 to recognize their contributions to the Rayburn story.\nCharlie Phillips was hired by Sam Rayburn\u2019s brother, Tom Rayburn, to be the caretaker of the Rayburn farm in the year 1939. Upon his arrival for the new position he was introduced to the Rayburn\u2019s cook, Bobbie Erskine. The couple married in 1940 and lived together in the two-bedroom caretaker\u2019s cottage just to the south of the Rayburn\u2019s home. The cottage was originally constructed in the 1920s for the Rayburn\u2019s first caretaker, Zeke Booms.\nIn 1942, Bobbie\u2019s granddaughter Barbara Ganther moved in with the couple. Around the year 1947, Bobbie\u2019s daughter Emma Belle Merrell and her children Minnie and Joe moved from Lubbock to Bonham and moved into the caretaker\u2019s cottage as well. Charlie and Bobbie\u2019s family moved into a house on North Cedar Street in Bonham around the year 1950. The house was purchased for the family by Sam Rayburn.\nIncluded in the Black History Month open house celebration was a display of artifacts related to Charlie and Bobbie\u2019s family. Artifacts include a handwritten letter written by Bobbie to Sam Rayburn\u2019s sister Lucinda in 1945 while she was in Washington D.C. visiting her brother. Bobbie reported, \u201cI told Mrs. Bartley (Sam Rayburn\u2019s sister) we would have a dinner Sunday in honor of you, as you [were] away. We are having lots of fun. The house is in perfect shape.\u201d\nAlso, on display is a small black and white photograph of Bobbie\u2019s granddaughter Barbara standing in front of the caretaker\u2019s cottage at the Rayburn farm. Though the original cottage was torn down in the early 1970s, visitors to the Black History Month open house viewed brightly colored scraps of mid-century style wallpaper salvaged from the home before its demolition.\nAlso on display, in honor of the World War I centennial, were photos and names of the African American men from Fannin County who served in the war, historic archives, and patriotic propaganda.\nThe Sam Rayburn House staff provided refreshments and guided tours of Sam Rayburn\u2019s home with a focus on the Phillips family as part of the day\u2019s events.\nThe Sam Rayburn House State Historic Site tells the real story of Sam Rayburn, one of the most powerful and influential politicians of the 20th century, in his authentic 1916 home. Preserved as a period time capsule, the two-story home contains all original Rayburn furnishings. The Sam Rayburn House State Historic Site is one of 22 historic attractions operated by the Texas Historical Commission. For more information visit www.visitsamrayburnhouse.com.",

If we are in other countries we also must follow the rules in those countries,\u201d he said.\nThe panel of judges at the Denpasar District court chaired by Amser Simanjuntak sentenced Lindsay to death after being convicted of smuggling Rp24 billion (US$2.4 million) worth of cocaine through Bali\u2019s Ngurah Rai airport from Bangkok, Thailand, on May 19, 2012.\nThe sentence was higher than the prosecutor\u2019s demand of 15 years in jail.\nLindsay\u2019s lawyer Ezra Karokaro had said he planned to appeal the verdict.",

But he said he hasn\u2019t ruled out running for local office again in the future.\nHe said working on the School Board was an excellent way to give back to his community and gave him an opportunity to serve. He said interested people should look at the chance to run for a School Board seat as a unique opportunity to help form what education in Falmouth will look like in the future.\n\u201cIt\u2019s an opportunity to be impactful and engaged in the process and how we support and engage kids so they are productive citizens,\u201d he said.\nSnow agreed, and said his term on the board was an opportunity to give back to a town where he has spent much of his life. At 79 years old, he said, one term \u201cis probably appropriate.\u201d\n\u201cI would be 82 by the time I finish and what I told the School Board is that some people might be able to do it, but I don\u2019t think I can,\u201d he said.\nSnow said that running for office, even at 76, was important for him because he believes that if you live in a town you should take the chance to improve it in any way you can.\nVarney, 78, echoed Snow, saying she doesn\u2019t think anyone her age should be on the council. She also said that now that her husband is retired, she doesn\u2019t want to stand in the way of enjoying their retirement together.\nAll of the current Falmouth policy makers said it is important for residents to get involved with their town.\n\u201cDemocracy is like a muscle, when you use it, it serves you well. But if we can\u2019t get people to step up for a period of time to at least be considered by the voters, then we are letting the muscle atrophy,\u201d Payne said. \u201c(Serving) is a way to give back to the community. If you have the inclination, anyone can do it.\u201d\nIt is critical to have people who want to be engaged in the community, Rodden said, but also to have people with different attributes.\n\u201cPeople come to the council with different talents, like lawyers who can look at documents very carefully and understand the nuances \u2026 or other councilors who bring a strong business sense. It takes all kinds,\u201d she said.\nAll of the outgoing elected officials said that while taking on the responsibility of public office is a time commitment, the sacrifice is worth it.\n\u201cIt is something you have to be willing to make a priority in your life, but the rewards are vast and numerous,\u201d Murry said. \u201cIt\u2019s doing something that has an impact on the common good.\u201d\nNomination papers for candidates in the June elections for School Board and Town Council can be taken out at the town clerk\u2019s office beginning March 18. Papers must be returned by May 1.\nAmber Cronin can be reached at acronin@theforecaster.net or 781-3661 ext. 125. Follow her on Twitter @croninamber.",

Evans endeared himself to the fans with a mix of props and creativity, and they voted him the winner of one of the marquee events of the NBA's All-Star Saturday festivities. Evans, who got into the competition as a replacement for injured New York guard Iman Shumpert, earned 29 percent of the 3 million votes cast. He beat out Houston's Chase Budinger, Indiana's Paul George and Minnesota's Derrick Williams\nfor the Jazz's first-ever trophy in the contest. In a departure from past dunk competitions, fans were given complete voting power and cast their ballots by text message after each of the four participants competed in three one-dunk rounds. Evans dunked with a camera on his head, slammed two basketballs while jumping over a seated assistant and donned a Karl Malone jersey to dunk over mailman-dressed comedian Kevin Hart. Evans said the Jazz didn't have any input in the Malone-themed idea. \"Not at all,\" he said. \"I was just thanking the Jazz fans. You want to do something to get them in it. So I felt that was a good way. And Dwight Howard, he helped me big time. That was huge.\" Budinger got just as many cheers from the Amway Center fans as Evans, and some in the celebrity-filled crowd sighed when the winner was announced. Budinger got his biggest reaction when he donned a Cedric Ceballos jersey and imitated his 1992 blindfolded dunk, completing it with a reverse slam. \"I've very happy with my performance. I went out there, I had a plan and I executed the plan and the fans voted and I didn't win and that happens sometimes,\" Budinger said. \"But I had great dunks and they're going to be great memories as well.\" Kevin Love knows something about dunking. He does most of his dirty work inside for Minnesota, but he got to show off his outside touch on Saturday night. Love beat out Oklahoma City star Kevin Durant to win the 3-Point Shootout. The former UCLA star was consistent throughout, but had to survive a tiebreaker in the first round and sweat out the last few shots from Durant to pull out the 17-14 victory in the final. Love is in the middle for a breakout year for Minnesota, averaging 25 points and 9.9 rebounds a game. But he also has connected on 49 of 141 3-point attempts for the Timberwolves. \"You know, I'm a guy that loves to rebound the ball, a guy that loves to play inside, really a physical player,\" Love said. \"But for me, coming into the league, I was told not to shoot 3-point shots, so to be where I am now and continue to work on my game; I think this definitely speaks to my versatility. I think I'll just continue to improve year in and year out.\" Celebrities lined the court for the appetizer before Sunday's NBA All-Star game, and the first event saw the continuation of the good vibes that New York Knicks sensation Jeremy Lin has brought to the Big Apple recently. With Knicks super fan Spike Lee looking on, Team New York had the touch from the outside and won the Shooting Stars event. Former Knicks star Allan Houston nailed his third attempt at a half-court shot to give his team consisting of current Knicks guard Landry Fields and Cappie Pondexter of the WNBA's New York Liberty the victory. San Antonio point guard Tony Parker then won the Skills Competition. Parker was the only one of six participants to break 30 seconds in the first round (29.2) and this time of 32.8 in the final run on the obstacle course was better than Boston's Rajon Rondo (34.6) and New Jersey's Deron Williams (41.4).\nLove was tied for third after the opening round of the Shootout and beat Miami's Mario Chalmers 5-4 in a tiebreaker. Defending champion James Jones led all shooters in the opening round with 22 and Durant was next with 20. Orlando's Ryan Anderson just missed eliminating both Love and Chalmers, totaling 17 after missing his final 2-point money ball. Love and Durant both had 16 in Round 2 to advance to the finals, with Jones posting 12. Houston, Fields and Pondexter completed the shooting course in 37.3 seconds in the final round. It was better than the 47.6 posted by the Team Texas trio of former Houston Rockets star and TNT analyst Kenny Smith, current Rocket Chandler Parsons and Sophia Young of the San Antonio Silver Stars. Team Orlando and Atlanta posted the slowest times of Round 1 and were eliminated. The speedy Parker put together an impressive display on the skills obstacle course, which involves participants moving through a dribbling circuit, successfully throwing chest passes through a hanging tire and driving for a layup. Williams, the 2008 winner, holds the record for the skills' course at 25 seconds, but had trouble completing a pass in the final round on Saturday.\nDownload Sprite Slam Dunk Contest NBA All-Star 2012\nTorrent Size: 956MB 1280x720\nPosted by Sudhanshu Vishnoi Sunday, February 26, 2012",

        "raw_content": "A Challenge to Create\nToday I would love to introduce you all to my sweet new sponsor, Kendra from Our Little Almanac. She is a mama, a blogger, and etsy shop owner, and pretty freaking hilarious. Enjoy!\nHello Scribble Pad readers! I love Shannon's blog title. I feel like my whole brain is a scribble pad full of thoughts and ideas that are trying to get out there and make it in the real world.\nSo are we all excited about this new year that is upon us? I know there are varying opinions about making new years resolutions and if they are actually beneficial for you or not, but one thing I think we can all agree on is that we desire to make each day better than the one before.\nI believe that as women we have this desire to create. We all find fulfillment and joy in making something that wasn't there before. However, there's something called fear. Have you heard of it? Have you felt it? Well, if you've had a brush with it, PUNCH IT IN THE FACE the next time it comes around. Yep, I just said that. Get aggressive. Don't let doubt of your capabilities or intimidation of others prevent you from discovering your potential. Boy, I'm starting to sound like a tv preacher so let me take a step back to my real self here. But seriously, I do believe in self-worth. I do believe in a work in progress. I believe in good intentions.\nSo for this new year, I challenge you to create something each day. And it doesn't have to be a work of art. There's a wonderful man who states perfectly how we should approach creativity:\n\"Everyone can create. You don\u2019t need money, position, or influence in order to create something of substance or beauty...You may think you don\u2019t have talents, but that is a false assumption, for we all have talents and gifts, every one of us... Don\u2019t let the voice of critics paralyze you\u2014whether that voice comes from the outside or the inside. If you still feel incapable of creating, start small. Try to see how many smiles you can create, write a letter of appreciation, learn a new skill, identify a space and beautify it. As you take the normal opportunities of your daily life and create something of beauty and helpfulness, you improve not only the world around you but also the world within you.\"\nWhile I have more creative ambitions, one goal I have for this year in the blogging world is to create more joy in the lives of my readers. I am a firm believer that \"laughter is the best medicine\" and I am attempting to cure the world one laugh at a time with my weekly posts \"Funny Friday.\" I hope to have you pop over and get a giggle or two :) Now go get to creatin'!\npinterest makes me create-crazy. but it's true -- small things. like writing a letter of appreciation. i like that quote. and i like kendra!",

Though underage, Pippen (seen at right) was \u201cwearing two bar wristbands,\u201d according to a criminal complaint.\nPippen declined to undergo field sobriety exams and refused a post-arrest Breathalyzer test. The Iowa City Police Department officer who collared Pippen noted that she \u201caccused me of being racist.\u201d\nPippen, who lives in a university residence hall, was charged with public urination and public intoxication, both misdemeanors. She was released from jail around 10 AM yesterday after posting $500 bond.\nOn her Twitter page, Pippen notes that, \u201cIm More Than Scottie Pippen's daughter. Im Me Sierra Pippen:). The page includes a photo of her as a child with her father.\nThe Iowa undergrad is the second oldest of her father\u2019s six children. A basketball Hall of Fame member, Scottie Pippen, 49, won six NBA championships as a member of the Michael Jordan-led Chicago Bulls. Pippen, whose number was retired by the Bulls, was also a member of two gold medal-winning U.S. Olympic teams, including the 1992 \u201cDream Team.\u201d (2 pages)\nScottie Pippen, University of Iowa, public urination, public intoxication, Iowa\nNo Indictment Against Woman In Sex Case\nCocaine Suspect Fled, Left Ankle Monitor On Cat",

        "title": "Climate Change | Thrive",
        "raw_content": "By Foster Gamble, Revised August 22, 2012\nHow does climate change relate to the banking elite\u2019s effort to transcend national sovereignty, establish global governance and create a global tax to fund their dominance?\nThe debate around global warming can be challenging and controversial. It is often presented with extreme allegations on both sides: either human pollution is the cause of all global warming or pollution is just fine and there\u2019s no problem, while we believe neither is the case. There are a variety of potential sources of climate change, each with a myriad of implications. Many scientists believe that geo-engineering in the skies, often referred to as \u201cchemtrails\u201d is having a dire impact on the weather. The Chinese have long-acknowledged weather manipulation, and the link between weather modification and war has been documented as far back as 1812. Others attribute climate change to human pollution in the form of Co2 emissions and still others attribute the change in climate to the natural warming cycle of the sun. Questioning the validity of any of these perspectives tends to ignite hostility, and it is astonishing how little open, respectful debate and discussion there is on a topic so impactful in all of our lives. Whatever the source, we at Thrive Movement believe that human caused emissions such as carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels, methane from factory farms and nitrous oxide from pesticides and fertilizers must be curtailed. There is no question that they contribute to serious problems, including environmental pollution and health issues such as asthma. We also consider geo-engineering and the heavy metals now raining down on people and plants present a major threat to our wellbeing as well as our ability to produce healthy food. We also believe that the evidence about the sun\u2019s influence is compelling and needs further open minded inclusion in the discussion. Understanding the cause \u2013 or more likely causes \u2013 will help us create effective responses.\nWhile the real open and public debate around global warming has been essentially non-existent, the general consensus is that greenhouse gases (GHG\u2019s) are being released into Earth\u2019s atmosphere at a growing rate \u2013 in large part due to human pollution \u2013 creating a greenhouse effect that traps heat in Earth\u2019s atmosphere and warms the planet. While these emissions are clearly polluting our breathing air and causing a number of other environmental disasters, it does not necessarily mean that this pollution is causing the warming of the planet.[1]\nOther theories and scientific explanations to explain global warming are virtually ignored. For example, the impact of geo-engineering of the skies, chemtrails and HAARP, is not even acknowledged by the US government despite documented evidence of it taking place and of it having impact on the weather (see our article on human geo-engineering). Other evidence shows that other planets in our solar system are warming, suggesting that solar activity may be the cause of rising temperatures on Earth.[2] Still other evidence suggests that the trend is already reversing and that certain parts of the planet are cooling.[3] In fact, Dr. Phil Jones, Director of the Climate Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia in the UK, admitted in an interview with the BBC in 2010 that \u201cfrom 1995 to the present there has been no statistically-significant global warming.\u201d[4]. Satellite-based temperature measurements, which are more reliable than surface readings, suggest that the most recent warming trend ended in 1998. The impact of the warming can still be felt even though there is good evidence the trend has reversed because geologic changes are slow to show up when heating or cooling.[5]\nGiven the increasing consolidation of power and decreasing sovereignty of individuals, communities, and nations, we have great concern that the carbon tax (being paid to the World Bank and enforced by the International Police forces) would provide the financial basis for an involuntary global government that further undermines the sovereignty of each nation. Doesn\u2019t it make sense that something so consequential would be transparently discussed and debated? Instead merely questioning it is often met with hostility.\nThere is a lot of propaganda out on the part of those with vested interests in people believing one view or another. Those who point to solar activity as a cause of global warming are often ridiculed and accused of being funded by the oil industry, and those who point to chemtrails are called \"conspiracy theorists\" and those who promote the CO2 emissions theory are often considered to be aiding corporate pollution by supporting cap and trade and other programs that insufficiently address pollution and unknowing lobbyists for the one world government agenda. Who's right?\nWe think it's important to unpack the issue. Global leaders, bankers, corporations and academic researchers have a lot to gain from pollution-caused global warming being accepted as truth. Without full, open discussion and debate, the public is encouraged to accept substandard and incomplete solutions, such as the global cap and trade system.\nCap and trade sets limits on carbon emissions and allows the worst polluters to buy \u201cpollution credits\u201d from those who are polluting less. Rather than limit pollution, it merely allows those with the most money to buy their \u201cright\u201d to pollute from others. Cap and trade is the elite\u2019s response to an oversimplified and self-serving interpretation of climate change and sets the stage for the next market bubble for the bankers to pump up and then dump. This is a typical strategy used by the global elite \u2013 they create or capitalize on a \u201cproblem\u201d, instill fear in the people to get a certain \u201creaction\u201d, and then propose a \u201csolution\u201d that will benefit themselves, at our - and our planet\u2019s - expense.\nCap and trade also seems to be a preliminary step in establishing an international tax system and governing body. The global elite can use cap and trade as a way to get people accustomed to international taxes, while also consolidating and giving themselves more power.\nThis strongly suggests that we need to think bigger and have on-going, televised debates that are transparent about the relationship between corporate pollution, carbon tax and the global governance desired by the so-called New World Order. The debate would also need to address climate changing impact of geo-engineering in the form of \"chemtrails\".\nFor an understanding of the potential role of chemtrails in climate change, see both \"What in the World are They Spraying?\" and \"Why in the World are They Spraying?\".\nFor an extensive and well-documented exploration of the deceptions and manipulations of the global warming establishment, check out the article, \u201cIs the Western Climate Establishment Corrupt?\u201d, and the documentary, \u201cThe Great Global Warming Swindle.\u201d\nTo explore the cap and trade issue more, check out Annie Leonard\u2019s video: \u201cThe Story of Cap and Trade: Why You Can\u2019t Solve a Problem with the Thinking that Created It\u201d.\nTo confront important information about \u201cclimate change\u201d consider the following questions and discuss them with others. It \u2018s vital for us to engage in open, honest debate about something so consequential.\nIf other planets in our solar system are heating up too, then might not the Sun itself be a major cause of global warming?\nWhy is there no live, televised public debate about global warming? Why do Al Gore and the scientists of the IPCC refuse to engage?\nIs there a financial incentive for Al Gore to have people believe his data about global warming?[6]\nIf CO2 is the cause of global warming, why do Al Gore\u2019s own graphs show that temperature changes in fact lead, rather than follow, the changes in CO2?\nHave temperature fluctuations happened before? Did they happen before humans were using fossil fuels? Why are proponents of a global carbon tax, like the University of East Anglia\u2019s Climate Research Unit, hiding data such as the Medieval Warm period from public discussion?\n[1] A growing number of scientists agree this is the case.

        "raw_content": "Ephesians 6 exhorts us to put on the whole armor of God. This is a passage that has long intrigued me and that I reflect on quite often. My nature is to consider how to literally apply biblical truths to my life, when at all possible. Such has been my mindset with the armor. How do I get that armor on my body?\nThe other day, I got a deeper insight into the passage as I was reading from Colossians 3 -- another of my favorite passages. At times in my Christian walk, I have read Colossians 3 on a daily basis, but I\u2019ve often had problems reconciling the latter portion of the chapter with the first seventeen verses, but it clicked the other day.\nYou see, most Bible translations will give various subheadings within each chapter, as is the case with this passage. The intent is to give clarity, and more often than not, the headings are quite beneficial. However we must remember that these titles were not given to us by the original writers.\nInstead, many of the passages we read, including the two aforementioned texts, are parts of complete letters, written by the author to a specific audience, delivered on one occasion. I don\u2019t know about you, but back when I used to get letters, I would usually read them in one or not more than a couple of sittings. In doing so, I got the big picture of the letter.\nIn Colossians 3, the last eight verses are usually given a heading along the lines of \u201cChristian Household Rules\u201d. And with that forced break, I\u2019ve missed the cohesiveness? But the other day in reading the passage without the subheadings, I was able to clearly see that the wives submitting to husbands, husbands loving wives, children obeying parents, bondservants obeying in everything is a by-product of putting on love spoken of in verse 14, which is a predecessor of living in peace found in verse 15. And when you come to the end of this portion, you see that there is parenthetical text in verse 23 that mirrors the text of verse 17. Taken as a whole, it makes perfect sense.\nReturning to my original thought on the whole armor, we have a similar tendency to pick and choose portions of the Bible to read. But, it\u2019s a complete work that needs to be considered in its entirety.\nIn order to effectively put on the full armor, particularly as it speaks of the Word of God, we need to know the entire Word of God. And in order to know the entire Word of God, we have to read it all.\nYes, there are little nuggets of God\u2019s Word that help us to make it through tight spaces on a day-to-day basis. But for a full knowledge and foundation of the faith we hold dear, we need to grasp and understand that God used multiple writers over multiple centuries, to tell one story.\nThe Christian life, walk and understanding is moved more toward perfection with each reading of God\u2019s complete Word. In fact, as we do that, we understand the arming of our bodies is preceded by the arming of our minds.",

        "raw_content": "Tom Moon, M.F.T. Is it Learned or Biological?\nResearch shows that this minority orientation has the following profile:\nThe trait is a \u201cstable bimophism.\u201d It occurs in all human populations as two orientations, expressed behaviorally.\nAbout 92% of the population has the majority orientation, and 8% has the minority orientation.\nThe historical evidence suggests that both orientations have existed for at least five millennia.\nThe minority orientation appears in all races and ethnic groups.\nNeither orientation favors any geographical location, culture, nor any other environmental factor.\nThe trait is not a behavior, but an internal orientation. Those with the minority orientation are sometimes able to hide it in response to social coercion.\nClinical studies show that the minority trait is not associated with any disease and isn\u2019t pathological in any way.\nNeither orientation is chosen.\nSigns of the orientation are detectable in very young children.\nAdoption studies demonstrate that the orientation of adopted children is unrelated to the orientation of their parents, indicating that the trait isn\u2019t the result of upbringing.\nIdentical twins have a higher than average chance of sharing the same orientation compared to pairs of randomly selected people. The average rate of this trait in the general population (called the \u201cbackground rate\u201d) is just under 8%, while the twin rate is just above 12% \u2014 more than 50% higher.\nThe minority orientation is 27% higher in the male than in the female population. Many biologically determined conditions, for reasons that science can now explain, occur more frequently in men than in women.\nFamily studies reveal that, like eye color, the minority orientation runs in families, passed down from parent to child.\nThis pattern shows a \u201cmaternal effect,\u201d a common sign of a biological trait. The minority orientation in men appears to be passed down from the mother, pointing to the X chromosome.\nAll of these factors, taken together, have convinced geneticists that the trait in question is biologically determined, innate, and immutable. The minority trait just described, by the way, is left-handedness.\nThe above list is taken from \u201cThe Only Question that Matters,\u201d a white paper which Chandler Burr, author of A Separate Creation: The Search for the Biological Origins of Sexual Orientation, wrote for the Liberty Education Forum. In the paper, Burr points out that the trait profile for left-handedness is \u201castonishingly similar\u201d to the profile for sexual orientation. Neither trait correlates with any environmental factors. As with left-handedness, the sexual orientation of adopted children bears no relationship to that of adopted parents, clearly pointing to its biological origins. The twin studies show that twins share the trait of homosexuality more frequently than they do left-handedness, suggesting that genetics plays an even greater role in sexual orientation than in handedness.\nIt is sometimes asked \u201cIf sexual orientation is biological why don\u2019t monozygotic twins (who have identical genes) always share the same sexual orientation?\u201d Burr explains that, as with left-handedness, the biological factors for sexual orientation probably include several genetic factors which interact with other constitutional factors such as hormones and neural structure. In 2005, geneticists at the University of Illinois identified three chromosomal regions linked to sexual orientation in men.\nThe public policy implications of understanding that sexual orientation is constitutional are huge. As Burr notes, in the current public debate, there are three competing positions on homosexuality: 1) that it\u2019s a \u201clifestyle choice\u201d like vegetarianism, 2) that it\u2019s a disease, like schizophrenia, and 3) that it\u2019s a constitutional condition like left handedness. Poll after poll shows that, when Americans believe that it\u2019s constitutional, they are far more likely to favor full equality than when they believe one of the other two possibilities.\nUnderstanding the biological origins of sexual orientation also has powerful implications for how we view ourselves. In my work with gay men, I often find that men who believe they\u2019re completely self-accepting still hold \u201cless than\u201d ideas about themselves derived from psychoanalytic models which describe homosexuality as a psychological disorder. Some men still privately tell me \u201cIt\u2019s because I didn\u2019t have masculine role models.\u201d \u201cI wasn\u2019t loved enough by my father.\u201d \u201cMy mother babied me too much.\u201d \u201cI\u2019m gay because I\u2019m too narcissistic.\u201d And so on. These notions were debunked by scientific research decades ago, but they still linger in the culture.\nThere was a time when left handed people, too, were made to feel wrong, inferior, and disordered because of their minority orientation, but that all changed when science discredited the mythologies about the meaning of that variation. Within a few decades, we will probably have a complete map of the biological determinants of sexual orientation. As knowledge of the science becomes more widespread, perhaps more and more people will also come to accept as common sense that being gay is a minority variation like left handedness, and that, as with left handedness, it has no inherent moral or psychological meanings whatsoever.",

        "raw_content": "Every year (well, usually a few times a year but specifically on Christmas Day or Christmas Eve) I sit down and re-watch one of the greatest Christmas movies ever made.\nI can't remember when that tradition started, but it's been going strong for at least a decade and probably a bit longer. Not sure where this movie would rank in my list of \"Top 25 of All Time\" because I don't think I could actually make one of those, but it's on there.\nIt's definitely on the list of \"Movies I will watch whenever it's on TV, no matter how far in it is\" along with THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, THE FUGITIVE, THAT THING YOU DO, APOLLO 13 and THE BIG LEBOWSKI.\nI love everything about DIE HARD, so I figured in the spirit of Christmas sharing, here are a few things you might not know about it.\nOriginally, John McTiernan was hired to direct COMMANDO 2. While that was being prepped, Arnold Schwarzenegger was asked to reprise his role. He turned it down, so they scrapped the sequel and moved on to an adaptation of a novel called Nothing Lasts Forever. That book was actually a sequel to another novel that had been turned into a film in 1968 called THE DETECTIVE. The lead actor in that film had a clause in his contract that gave him first option of reprising his role should a sequel ever be made, so because they had to, the first actor asked to play John McClane was 73-year-old Frank Sinatra.\nFortunately, he turned it down and paved the way for a score of other actors to follow his lead.\nBecause McTiernan was actually tasked with making COMMANDO 2, his first official choice (after Old Blue Eyes, anyway) was Arnold Schwarzenegger, but he said \"No\" to this one too. So did Tom Berenger, Sylvester Stallone, Burt Reynolds, Mel Gibson, Richard Gere, Don Johnson, Richard Dean Anderson, Robert DeNiro and Nick Nolte.\nEventually Bruce Willis landed the part, but since he was still filming MOONLIGHTING he could only work on DIE HARD at night after he was done filming on the set of his day job.\nThe teddy bear that never makes it out of the limo is the same bear that Jack Ryan (Alec Baldwin) takes home at the end of McTiernan's follow-up movie THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER.\nThere's more, but these are the best ones. Besides, what are you doing on the Internet? Get back to your new toys.\nLabels: awesome, die hard, movies, writings",

        "raw_content": "Software Evolution Lecture\nIn the winter semester of 2008, I gave a 14-week lecture (my very first) on the topic of software evolution at the University of Berne.\nSoftware systems both are eternal, and are not eternal. On the one hand, the bits that form software systems have the same mathematical meaning regardless of time, and in that sense software systems are eternal. On the other hand, software systems reside in a larger environment: they run on a piece of hardware, they fulfil a certain need at a certain moment, they make use of other software systems. But, hardware and needs change, and software systems must evolve too if they are to remain useful.\nThis course presented a survey of various techniques, like reverse engineering, program visualisation, or refactoring, that have been successfully used to re-engineer and evolve industrial systems. The accompanying lab provided hands-on experience with analyzing software systems using reverse engineering tools.\nThe slides below formed part of the supporting material.\nThe lecture was well received by students. The official feedback form is available below:",

        "raw_content": "Issue 76 of Kaleidoscope explores the theme of \u201cLife\u2019s Unpredictability.\u201d\nEssentially, how people can be going about the business of their daily lives and suddenly everything is upended by a circumstance beyond their control\u2014something we all can relate to in one way or another.\nOur featured essay is \u201cGravity\u2019s Tilt\u201d by Ellen L. Case. The author shares her experience of being slowed down by multiple sclerosis\u2014how she was once very athletic, enjoying hiking, running, skiing, but then as her balance grew more unsteady she reluctantly must accept using a cane. She goes shopping with a close friend, looking for more stylish canes that will blend with her wardrobe.\nOther personal essays include \u201cSomeone to Hold\u201d by Luke Emile Williams. His son has autism and he and his wife are caregivers for his mother in law who is in the end stages of Alzheimer\u2019s. Williams shares the frustrations that occur as a result of lack of communication and understanding. In \u201cThis is the Way the World Ends,\u201d Staci Bernard-Roth talks the technician who is performing a routine MRI into allowing her to look at the finished films. Instead of finding more lesions from multiple sclerosis, she sees something even more frightening.\nThe fiction pieces in this issue include \u201cNo Green\u201d by Abby Lipscomb. Two little girls, Emma and Juney who has autism, become friends. Juney\u2019s mother is very loving and caring. Emma takes care of her mother, a very bitter woman. When the girls are playing mermaids, their favorite game, together, Emma can shut out the starkness of her own life. Then, near the end of the summer, Juney suddenly disappears.\n\u201cThe Way I Am,\u201d by Lorna Rose McGinnis tells the story of a boy who from grade school through college struggles with severe social anxiety disorder. Mary M. Sheridan\u2019s \u201cThe Girl Who Was\u201d is a short but very powerful piece about a homeless girl during winter.\nKristina Gehrmann, our featured artist, creates incredibly detailed and vivid digital images using a Wacom tablet and stylus. Many of her digital \u201cpaintings\u201d evoke the style of the Old Masters. The artist prefers historical subjects (both people and events) and the lifelike images she creates immediately draw the viewer into the scene.\nIssue 76 also includes Mark T. Decker\u2019s review of The Right Way to be Crippled and Naked, an exciting fiction anthology by writers with disabilities focusing on the experience of living with various disabilities.\nThe 17 poems in this issue features some familiar names to regular readers of Kaleidoscope including Barbara Crooker, Sheryl Nelms, Maura Gage Cavell, and Yuan Changming.\nWe hope you enjoy this thoughtful exploration into how life can suddenly change from \u201cnormal\u201d to a \u201cnew normal\u201d and how people cope with these changes.",

        "raw_content": "How to create a successful geometry research paper\nThe importance of fully understanding the topic prior to writing\nWhilst some essays and research papers are easier to write, even without full knowledge of the subject to start with, when it comes to writing a geometry research paper, the benefits of fully understanding the topic prior to writing are vast.\nLike all research papers, a paper based on the subject of geometry will require a great deal of work prior to the writing process itself begins. However, unlike some other subjects, where you may learn things as you go along - even after having carried out thorough research - it is best to try and have as detailed a knowledge of geometry as possible before beginning.\nThis isn\u2019t to say that you may not come across new ideas and concepts, but the way in which ideas and concepts can link together means that, without a good understanding of the subject in the first place, you may find yourself writing a large piece of work only to find out that this is completely irrelevant.\nUsing other essays as inspiration\nOnce you have a good understanding of the subject, you may wish to learn more about how best to write a piece of work. One of the best ways of doing this is to use other essays for inspiration. You do not necessarily need to copy the other essays, but understanding how best to present your arguments and structure your work can be invaluable.\nEven if you do wish to use parts from another essay, this is potentially acceptable - although it is important to properly cite the work, if you do not want get caught for plagiarism.\nFinalising any work\nWith any research paper, finalising the work is vital. However, when it comes to a geometry research paper, this is even more crucial. As well as proofreading and editing your work to ensure that it makes sense and is grammatically accurate, there are other things that can be checked with a geometry research paper. For example, if you use any equations, or anything similar, then it is vital that you ensure that these are accurate.\nAny inaccuracies can have a major impact on your work. Therefore, it is important not to underestimate this aspect of the essay writing process. To ensure that your work is as successful as possible, you need to allow enough time at the end of the essay writing process to fully proofread and edit your work.",

In Florida, this is a skill which is tested on our State Reading and Writing tests, but I tell my students it is a skill needed throughout life. I have worked closely with the University of Central Floridas Engineering Department, and they have told me this is such a deficiency that they had to add a junior level course to teach their top engineers this skill. Local companies, such as Lockheed-Martin, were finding graduating engineering students were often required to read engineering reports and provide summaries for their teams and doing a poor job at it.\nI already have my students divided into teams of 4 so I assign each student an article from one of the 4 sections of the newspaper. I assign the article based on what the USA TODAY daily teaching guide (Inside USA TODAY) suggests or looking at the paper in the morning for articles of interest. The student has 25 minutes to read the article and then accomplish two tasks. They must first write a summary sentence and then expand on the sentence with a one-paragraph summary. Once the students turn in their summaries, we have a classroom discussion about the four articles, which gives me a chance to interject current events into the classroom.\nI am currently (April 2008) using the new No Boundaries Project, developed by USA TODAY and sponsored by NASA, for my students to explore STEM careers. I have also used several math and science lesson plans, such as Lost in Space to enhance and supplement the curriculum.

        "raw_content": "Fugleberg to sign new book, \u201cAmong Other Things,\u201d at Polson Library\nLocal writer and 54-year resident of Polson has completed a book of stories and commentaries written during his long career as a journalist.\nPaul Fugleberg started pounding out stories for newspapers on an old manual typewriter 57 years ago, although now he writes on his computer. Fugleberg selected columns and stories he\u2019d written on either his typewriter or his computer over his long career, selected photographs to accompany them and published them in a new book called \u201cAmong Other Things.\u201d\nFugleberg will be honored at a book signing of \u201cAmong Other Things\u201d at the Polson City Library on Jan. 19, noon to 3 p.m. The public is invited to attend the book signing, and refreshments will be served.\n\u201cAmong Other Things\u201d is a slim volume 99 pages long and divided into sections \u2014 Shadows of Yesteryear, Personal Reflections, More Historic Happenings, Unusual Incidents, Colorful Personalities, Among Other Things: Some Really Dumb Stories, Special People, and Short Stories.\n\u201cAmong Other Things\u201d is also the name of Fugleberg\u2019s long time column in the Lake County Leader.\nThe name first appeared on a Fugleberg column when he was working for the Canton, S.D., newspaper, the Sioux Valley News.\nFugleberg\u2019s writing career didn\u2019t start in Canton, S.D., though. It began in 1952 when Fugleberg was in the United States Air Force and wrote for the civilian-owned weekly newspaper at Great Falls Air Base. This came after Fugleberg took one journalism class in college and hated it.\n\u201cToo much theory,\u201d Fugleberg said, waving his hand.\nMike Deevy, who owned the paper and was the state editor of the Great Falls Tribune, was a great mentor and \u201cjust like a second father to me,\u201d Fugleberg explained. Under Deevy\u2019s mentorship, Fugleberg \u201cquickly came to enjoy the news business.\u201d\nAfter Fugleberg was discharged from the service in 1954, he spent two years working for the Record-Tribune in Roundups, 18 months at the Sioux Valley News in Canton, S. D., and six months at the Inyo Register in Bishop, Calif. before coming to Polson to work for the Flathead Courier.\nFugleberg had visited Polson while he was in the Air Force in Great Falls. He said he and a friend got a three-day pass over Labor Day to see friends who had a cabin at Woods Bay. Fugleberg and his friend got into Polson late at night and pulled up at a hotel.\nThe next morning Fugleberg opened the window shade. Fugleberg said he saw \u201cthe sun shining, the water glimmering \u2026 snow capped peaks\u201d and told his friend, \u201cI\u2019m going to live here someday.\u201d\n\u201cTook me seven years to get here,\u201d Fugleberg added.\nFugleberg and his wife Mary Lou married in 1956 and brought their young family to Polson. They raised their five children, Alan, Ruth, Laurie, Mark and Tom in Polson. In Polson, the Fuglebergs met the Jacobsons, Lorin and Shirley, and became friends and business partners.\nIn fact, Fugleberg dedicated \u201cAmong Other Things\u201d to Lorin Jacobson, whom he described as a role model.\nJacobson and Fugleberg published the Flathead Courier from 1963 to 1976 and the Ronan Pioneer from 1971 to 1976.\nFugleberg bought out Lorin\u2019s interest in 1976 and subsequently sold the papers to George Hess in 1980 although he continued working at the newspaper.\nDuring the years he also penned some books, \u201cProud Heritage,\u201d \u201cAn Illustrated History of Lake County and the Lower Flathead, Mission and Jocko Valleys,\u201d \u201cFlathead Lake Steamboat Days,\u201d \u201cBuffalo Savers,\u201d \u201cSchnitzmeyer, Pioneer Photographer\u201d and \u201cMontana Nessie.\u201d\nFugleberg said he got the urge to write another book after he read Mack McConnell\u2019s book \u201cNever Grab a Cockatiel,\u201d which was a sampling of McConnell\u2019s Writetrack and Off the Cuff columns.\nFugleberg started writing and compiling about six months after he had a heart attack on May 1, 2008.\n(Among Other Things) \u201ctook the better part of a year,\u201d Fugleberg said.\nThe book was self-published and printed locally by Gull Printing.\nFugleberg still writes his column for the Lake County Leader and freelances as a copy editor. He faithfully goes to cardiac rehabilitation at St. Joseph Medical Center.\nIn his spare time, Fugleberg said, \u201cI do a lot of reading.\u201d\nWhen \u201cthe weather is right in the springtime,\u201d Fugleberg will pack up his bright red car and go see his grandkids in Missoula and Colorado. He also visits his brother, Norman Wright, in Bakersfield, Calif. every year.\n\u201cHe (Wright) is the writer in the family,\u201d Fugleberg said, modestly putting aside his own accomplishments.\nAs for plans for another book, Fugleberg said he is already working on it. The general idea, he explained, is back country roads lead to adventures, back country roads lead to ghost towns, back country roads lead to historic sites, back country roads lead to memories and back country roads lead to interesting people.\nFugleberg himself is one of the most interesting people around, and he\u2019s still writing.",

        "title": "Six important things to consider before you find internships abroad",
        "raw_content": "Six important things to consider before you find internships abroad\nWant to find internships abroad and travel the world whilst learning useful and transferable skills for future employment yet still wanting to further your studies whilst you do it. Then you should consider an internship abroad. You can gain both college credits and invaluable expertise and experience all in one year. You can improve or learn language skills which again will be transferable to the workplace. When you go for a job you will set yourself apart from those who have only been studying or have only worked in part time jobs close to their home. As well as this it will also give you an idea of what you might like to do or not like to do when you enter the world of work.\nSo, what are the six most important things to consider?\nThink about the most popular or realistic places to find an internship abroad\nAre Summer internships oversubscribed?\nWhat are the most realistic areas to get work in\nHow long does an internship typically last?\nWhat do I need to be accepted onto an internship?\nPlacements are available in most developed countries all over the world. China has one of the fastest growing economies and is a country that welcomes US students in any field of work. Australia is another popular destination and one where there is no language barrier. England will also welcome you as an intern in many different areas.\nSummer internships are the most popular, you have time to spare without affecting your studies and tourist countries such as China, Australia and England can be grateful of your Summer services.\nAny and many areas of business will welcome internships as a way of promoting international business networking and this is also the field that you are most likely to get work in at a later date. Marketing is also another area including graphic design, public relations or advertising. Hospitality is another area that always seems to have positions available especially in the Summer months when tourists descend on many parts of the world.\nPlacements are very flexible and usually depend on how much time you have and how well you are doing. They usually last between four and six months on average and as you are often working for free or very reduced rates as long as you are adding benefit to the company they will be more than happy to keep you on.\nRequirements will vary from program to program, but some common requirements are that you are currently or have just finished your degree program studies. You usually need to be aged eighteen or above with credentials in your chosen field.\nAgain, whether or not you will get paid is subject to agreement, but the general rule is that you won\u2019t get paid. You are more likely to get free board and lodgings and possibly costs of excursions\nAn internship is an investment in your future whilst giving you the opportunity to decide what you want to do with the rest of your life whilst seeing different parts of the world and meeting new people. What\u2019s stopping you?",

        "raw_content": "<CENTER><B>Letters to the Editor</b></center>\nDon't tell us how to spend our money\nIn response to the articles concerning the acquisition of private water companies in the Upper Verde Valley:\nTo quote Brian Mickelsen, \u201cWe are a small town and we\u2019ve got four different water companies.\u201d\nI have to disagree with his statement as the Verde Villages are not incorporated into the city limits of Cottonwood, therefore, they can\u2019t be considered part of Cottonwood.\nWe do use Cottonwood as a mailing address, but if memory serves me right a couple of years ago the residents of the Verde Villages decided not to be incorporated into the city of Cottonwood.\nHow can we be part of Cottonwood when the annexation effort failed? We are not represented by Cottonwood, nor do we have a voice in what is for the good of the entire community. This includes all of the small towns that surround Cottonwood.\nWe did not have a voice in the voting to purchase any of the small water companies. The minority of voters in Cottonwood voted to purchase these companies, and then it wasn\u2019t the entire registered voters who went to the polls.\nHow can a few voters have control over the majority of the residents? As a homeowner in Verde Village, I don\u2019t have any protection from the city of Cottonwood. No fire, police or any of the other public services available to the citizens of the city of Cottonwood.\nIt appears that the City of Cottonwood is attempting to get into the pockets of the residents of the Verde Villages one way or another. The Verde Villages decided not to be annexed.\nTo me, this is taxation without representation.\nIf there is a lack of water in the county, please answer me one question. Why has approval been given for the building of an additional tract of approximately 650 homes near Cornville and also the proposed 650 homes in Clarkdale. Please tell me how this makes sense if we are to conserve water.\nWe the residents of Verde Villages are not allowed to vote for the mayor or city council of Cottonwood, so please do not tell us how to spend our money.\nFrances J. Fowler\nStick with your original plan, Mr. McCain\nWhy did Senator McCain propose to federalize the Verde River?\nWith his draft legislation, he sets in motion all the support the Salt River Project needs to prevent Verde Valley residents from exercising their past water rights. It also potentially limits water use on our private property. Both of these will eventually limit development and hurt Camp Verde\u2019s effort to grow and increase tax revenues.\nThis is being proposed because of the Yavapai Ranch trade with the Forest Service. Our water company has the water to support a lot more development. Camp\nVerde needs to grow to remain competitive in the Verde Valley. It also needs to grow to develop a larger tax base and create jobs for our residents.\nThe trade with the Forest Service should go through to help us meet our goals.\nMcCain\u2019s efforts here will have the effect of stopping growth and supporting the SRP. At risk will be all of our water rights and our ability to plan for our own future. Senator McCain, forget your new plans for our community and just pass the land trade.\nHenry Shill\nLet's follow our presidents' advice\n\u201cWe must affirm the rights of the First Americans to remain Indian while exercising their rights as Americans. We must affirm their rights to freedom of choice and self determination.\u201d\n\u201cThis, then, must be the goal of any new national policy toward the Indian People: to strengthen the Indian sense of autonomy without threatening his sense of community.\u201d\n\u2014 President Richard M. Nixon, 1970\n\u201cThis administration intends to restore tribal governments to their rightful place among governments of this nation and to enable tribal governments along with state and local governments, to resume control over their won affairs.\u201d\n\u2014 President Ronald Reagan, 1983\nWe support the Yavapai-Apache Nation's land trust initiative.\nRichard J.

VVN/Vyto Starinskas<br /><br /><!-- 1upcrlf2 -->\nCOTTONWOOD - City Manager Doug Bartosh says of the six police chief candidates who met the public in a community gathering Wednesday, \"all are well qualified, all could do the job.\"\nBartosh continued, \"I have to hire the successful candidate, but I won't do it by myself.\"\nIn addition to the public interviews, each candidate will speak with selected individual groups in extended interviews Thursday. Four of the candidates already work in the Cottonwood department either full-time or part-time. All have worked with or known Bartosh or Chief Jody Fanning.\nEach was given five minutes to present their background for a crowd of about 100.\nGareth Braxton-Johnson works for Cottonwood Police, now assigned to the PANT team.

He said Cottonwood is the best America has to offer.\nJacquelyn (Jackie) MacConnell is retired from the Phoenix Police Department. She told the crowd she had a son late in life and retired at age 43 after 20 years to spend time with son.\n\"I loved my career and it was a difficult decision,\" said MacConnell.\nShe moved to the Sedona area to raise her son in a smaller community outside the Phoenix area. Her husband is with the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office.\nIn the Phoenix department, she worked in undercover as detective, bicycle officer, and tactical training detail.

        "raw_content": "April 25, 2016 by adminvisiteastlondon\nThere are a lot of individuals who travel without an insurance. To them, such policies are just a waste of money, considering the possible costs of backpacking in a foreign land. However, travel insurance is a must have other than your luggages and essential documents. In times of crisis, the policy will cover the expenses incurred from hospitalization, flight delays, lost luggages and many others. Aside from that, it is the best protection against debt because an insured individual does not have to spend his/her money for the damages or bad experiences he/she has been through.\nA travel insurance is truly an effective tool that offers a peace of mind. If your trip is interrupted, all the costs are recovered and there is nothing to worry about the possible expenses. However, there are some things to keep in mind when you buy a travel insurance policy. It is important to know when to buy or when not to buy this kind of insurance, to make sure that you do not spend your money on something that you cannot use.\nWhen to buy a travel insurance\nA travel insurance is a must have if;\nYou are spending an enormous amount of money for a vacation. A big ticket purchase is something that can be a huge loss on your part when some things are not going well. Make sure to get a travel insurance to safeguard your trip from potential expenses caused by losses, theft and uncontrollable circumstances.\nYou are a nervous backpacker. If you think you will have flight cancellation, accident or health issues along the way, better get yourself a travel insurance to give you a peace of mind.\nYou are cruising or having a package tour. To ensure that you do not miss cruise lines or tour packages, purchase a travel insurance to rebook or reimburse your expenses when things are not doing well on you.\nYou have a lengthy itinerary. Travel insurance is a necessity when you travel from one place to the other. Regardless of how safe and secured the destination is, you will never know when you get sick or missed a flight.\nYou are travelling internationally. Most of us are secured with health insurance policies in our own country but these are not applicable in other parts of the world. To cover any medical expenses, get your own travel insurance policy that covers health related issues experienced in the country where you are travelling at.\nWhen not to buy a travel insurance\nA travel insurance is not necessary if;\nYour trip is short and inexpensive.\nYou are spending less and you do not mind losing the cost of your travel should there be an unexpected circumstance that will take place.\nYou travel through a flight voucher or you stay at your friend\u2019s house.\nYou have a pre-existing medical condition.\nThe coverage is redundant or you have a travel insurance with similar policies and benefits.\nThere is no perfect insurance policy for backpackers. However, there is always something in store for you if you search and find a travel insurance for your needs. Take your time to do some research and consider these factors to buy or not to buy a travel insurance.\nRick Steve on insurance\nDo I need a travel insurance? \u2013 The Guardian\nDo I really need travel insurance \u2013 The Telegraph",

        "raw_content": "I survived the storm and then got unexpectedly flattened by the storm surge- all the things that had been postponed at work and home came rushing in this week and I struggled to keep my head above water.\nSo, once again, I'm light on links. Here are a couple of things I read that I just think are fun:\nApparently, someone has done a correlation between chocolate consumption per capita and Nobel prizes. Bad Mom, Good Mom has a summary and some thoughts.\nAre you reading What If? from xkcd? You should be. It is great fun.\nOk, this one isn't fun. But it is about TV and movies! And they're fun, right? But I really liked Alyssa Rosenberg's take on what is missing from the story when a TV/movie mom just quits her job.\nWe have guests here this weekend, so there are four kids bouncing around our little house. It is chaos, but fun. I'll be scarce around here... Have a good weekend, everyone!\nThat third one is depressing. I miss Claire Huxtable. A lawyer with work-life balance married to a doctor with the same!\nAmen! It was also remarkable they had five well-adjusted children, too. They were so cool.\nBecky 10:03 AM\nI read the TV/movie mom link, and was inspired to come back and comment because of how often you complain that people don't write about successful and happy working moms. And because this is the internet, please know I mean that in the nicest way!\nIt's entirely possible to quit a job you hate because you want to be with the kids and re-enter the workforce with one that makes you happier. And I did just up and quit a toxic boss. It was hard work every step of the way, but so is being a happy working mom. (Anecdotal data of one here.)\nFor me, the key was keeping up my skills by very part-time freelancing and attending a single professional meeting a year.\nI recognize that every field is different. But I think that scaring women away from stepping off the track is limiting. In my ideal world, everyone should have the option to take years off, whether for kids or travel or to start a business.\nDo you think perhaps that your own tender spots are influencing how you read that article? I didn't get \"mothers shouldn't quit their jobs!\" from it- I got \"hey, quitting your job doesn't magically make everything perfect, and will usually have a pretty big impact on family finances- TV and movies should show that side of things, too.\"\nI've written before about how I consider the hefty buffer we keep in our bank account as way to buy freedom, because it means that I could just up and quit if I found myself in a terrible work situation. But I don't think I'd do it the way the article described the TV shows depicting it- i.e., just deciding one day and quitting. I'd discuss it with my husband, make contingency plans, and then do it. But I've never done it, so I don't really know.\nI don't think I am \"always complaining\" about how working mothers are portrayed on TV and in the movies. That would be a strange thing for me to always complain about, since I almost never watch any TV or go to the movies. As far as I can remember, I've mentioned it once before, also in a weekend links post. I could be wrong, though.\nI fully support the idea that for some women, the right way to do motherhood is to step out of the workforce for awhile. I just can't write much about it- it is obviously not something I have chosen to do. And the women I know who have done it all work for me, which means that I can't blog about them in detail. I have one direct report contractor who came back in after about 3 years off and one contractor I project manage who came back in after 5 years off. Both are contractors because they want part time hours right now, and that is how we can make that happen. They are paid more per hour than they would be as full time employees, to compensate for the lack of benefits. We are actually probably going to hire in another mother returning to the workforce- and pay to train her to get her skills back current- also as a part time contractor. And we've been trying to recruit a fourth, but she is so far not interested in returning to work.\nSo I not only believe that women should be able to take time off and get back in- I actively try to make that possible. But I can't blog the details.\nI think I've said before, but it is worth repeating: I am happy to host a guest post from anyone who wants to write about her career/motherhood path. So if you'd like to see this option discussed more, email me about a guest post!\nCloud -- I wasn't trying to imply that you are always complaining about how working mothers are portrayed on TV/movies. I didn't even use the words \"always complaining\" that you put in quotes in your comment. In fact, I enjoy reading your posts because of your positive outlook on combining work and motherhood.\nMy comment wasn't meant to be offensive. That's why I added the disclaimer in the first paragraph. I was trying to agree with the general tone of your site, in that the media often negatively portrays work and motherhood.\nSorry- I misread. It is barely contained chaos here right now! Anyway, I wasn't offended- I just thought that maybe you focused on something different in that TV post that I did.\nAnd I'm serious about the guest post offer. I think it would be great to read about the various paths different people take. I think people sometimes get to focused on the idea that there is one right way to do this and there really isn't.\nThat last link was an interesting read. I think tv/movies portray quitting dramatically like that as part of the fantasy world they create for us to escape into.\nWhen my husband quit, it was after months of us discussing it, running the numbers, etc. Which wouldn't have made for interesting TV.\nAnd props to you/your company for hiring part-time contractors. I wish there were more options like that!",

        "raw_content": "Minister Says Significant Progress Made On Welfare Reforms On Child Poverty, Lone Parents And Pensions\nBrennan Urges Wide Participation As Consultation Begins For Next Action Plan On Poverty\nThe Minister for Social Affairs, S\u00e9amus Brennan T.D., said today that reforms in a number of key areas of social policy were being advanced as a matter of urgency, both within ongoing discussions on the forthcoming Budget and as part of a broader agenda of fundamental change.\nMinister Brennan said that considerable progress had now been made on bringing forward new proposals specifically targeted at tackling the totally unacceptable levels of child poverty, on removing the obstacles to employment, training and education for some 86,000 Lone Parents, and on heading off an impending pensions crisis by making sure that workers have decent pensions on retirement and options on how they choose to spend their later lives.\nMinister Brennan was speaking in Dublin when hosting the first in a series of 7 nationwide public consultations on the development of Ireland's next National Action Plan against Poverty and Social Exclusion.\n\"Ireland, together with the other 24 EU Member States, is due to present its Action Plan to the EU Commission next September, as part of an EU wide drive to honour the pledge made at Lisbon in 2000 \"to make a decisive impact on poverty\" by 2010. Ireland's action plan, when completed within the next year, will establish the priorities that should be addressed up to 2008 \".\n\"The nationwide public consultations on the social inclusion agenda seminars provide those who are not directly involved with the social partnership process with an opportunity to contribute their views on, and experiences of, the implementation of the Anti-Poverty Strategy. \".\nToday, more than 150 people attended the first of the consultations in Dublin, representing a wide range of community and voluntary organisations and groups, both national and local, and individuals who are themselves affected by poverty. The regional consultation seminars are organised by the Office for Social Inclusion, culminating with the Social Inclusion forum in early 2006.\nMinister Brennan said: \"The real experts on the nature, causes and reality of poverty in Ireland are the people actually experiencing poverty and those who work with and support them. These are the people we must listen to and the consultation process is primarily for them. I am looking forward to getting a wide range of views on the policy changes and developments necessary to continue the substantial progress being made and, in particular, to establish the priorities up to 2008. I want the next National Action Plan to be focused and to sharply reflect the experience, views and priorities of Irish society in meeting one of our greatest challenges-that of building not just a prosperous, but a fair society, which values and supports all its people, and particularly it's most vulnerable\".\nThe Minister said that Ireland had achieved remarkable economic success over the past decade, out performing most developed countries in terms of economic growth and development. Levels of unemployment are among the lowest in the EU and employment participation, especially among women, has been increasing steadily. Involuntary emigration has virtually ceased and is now replaced by the challenge of high levels of immigration.\nHe said this economic and employment success has delivered enormous improvements in our standards of living right across the board. For example, a recent UN report showed that if you take the poverty line in 1994, when our recent economic expansion began, and adjust it in line with changes in prices up to 2000, the level of poverty fell by almost 56 per cent over that period.\nMinister Brennan said that welfare payments and supports were often a valuable lifeline for those most vulnerable in society. Spending on welfare has increased from E5.7 billion in 1997, to E7.8 billion in 2001 and to E12.25 billion in 2005. Almost one in every three Euro spent by the State now is on social welfare. As a result in the period 2001 to 2005 the lowest social welfare rates increased by 40% while the Consumer Price Index during that time increased by just over 13%. Child Benefit rates increased by 65% over the same period, while from 2002 to 2005, pensioners received increases of E 44.71 per week.\nThe Minister said there has been a corresponding significant drop in the proportion experiencing material deprivation or consistent poverty. In a recent ESRI report, vulnerable groups were categorized as experiencing a combination of relative income poverty, basic deprivation and economic strain. In 1994 about 3 in 10 persons were in this category. By 2001, the ESRI states this had fallen to just 1 in 9.\n\"This steady improvement in basic standards of living represents one story on poverty in Ireland. There is another which tends to get more attention and publicity. Paradoxically, during this period when standards of living were improving, the numbers classified by the EU as at risk of poverty, those whose income is under 60 percent of average median income, actually increased. The reason is that the substantial improvements in income in real terms which they received, did not keep pace with the even more substantial increases in incomes generally. Therefore, while standards of living across the board have simply never been better in Ireland, we are being shown in international comparisons, as having among the highest proportions of people at risk of poverty in the EU\".\n\"It must be pointed out that, in the first instance, this shows the limitations of income measures of poverty. These measures, for example, just take a snap shot of the situation of individuals at a point in time. Therefore, among those classified as at risk of poverty are many who are experiencing a short term drop in income from say short term unemployment\".\nMinister Brennan said that reforms in a number of key areas of social policy were being advanced as a matter of urgency, both within ongoing discussions on the forthcoming Budget and as part of a broader agenda of fundamental reforms and change.\nConsiderable progress had now been made on bringing forward new proposals specifically targeted at tackling the totally unacceptable levels of child poverty, on removing the obstacles to employment, training and education for some 86,000 Lone Parents, and on heading off an impending pensions crisis by making sure that workers have decent pensions on retirement and options on how they choose to spend their later lives\".\nMinister Brennan added: \"As Minister for Social Affairs I have committed myself to finding solutions by making sensible decisions that have at their core increased support for those who feel most vulnerable, neglected or apprehensive in our society, while at the same time working to bring about reforms that go behind the payments and aggressively strike at the very heart of the social issues that give rise the need for welfare supports in the first place\".\n\"He said that in the Ireland of the 21st century many of us are fortunate enough to have reaped the benefits of living in a country that has witnessed great surges in economic growth in recent years. \"That economic performance has allowed us to tackle many of the social and economic issues that in the past scarred this country's reputation as a place of care and refuge. We must maintain that sturdy economic growth by encouraging expansion in business, greater competitiveness, continued investment in education and training as well as putting in place flexible mechanisms to encourage people to enter and re-enter the workforce\".\nThe Minister concluded: \"Repeatedly, all the predictions are for continued growth. That is, of course, good news. However, its true benefits will be seen only if the fruits of that economic growth benefit all and not just the few. As I have said many times, our economic progress is not intended to make millionaires, or even billionaires, of the select few while others continue to face a daily struggle. That is why I have at all times fought to sustain economic progress so that we can harness it to lift all boats and make a positive and lasting difference to the lives of those people represented here today by the many organisations, and many others\".\nOver the next month regional seminars will be held as follows:\nCarlow, 22 November at Seven Oaks Hotel\nCork, 23 November at Maryborough House Hotel\nLimerick, 24 November at Lynch South Court Hotel\nMullingar, 29 November at Mullingar Park Hotel\nCarrick-on-Shannon, 30 November at The Bush Hotel\nDonegal, 1 December at The Mill Park Hotel.",

        "raw_content": "Truck 6's Sutphen 95' Aerial Tower was the first placed into service.\nEngine 3's Sutphen 70' Min-Tower\nVern Harvey photographed Windsor's new Sutphen Towers on waterfront\nAll five Sutphens in action at Holiday Inn fire, April 8, 1999.\nClarence Sutphen founded his fire equipment sales business in Columbus, Ohio in 1890. Mr. Sutphen added motor fire apparatus to his wares when he became a sales agent for the Prospect Fire Engine Company in the 1920s. By the 1950s, Sutphen Fire Equipment was occasionally turning out a complete fire truck on commercial truck chassis such as Ford and Chevrolet. But it was the introduction of the pioneering Sutphen Aerial Tower in 1963 that almost overnight transformed the company into a nationally-known and respected player in the highly-competitive firefighting aerial platform business.The elevating platform, or Snorkel burst upon the firefighting scene in the late 1950s. By the early 1960s several firms were marketing articulating-boom aerial firefighting platforms on various custom and commercial fire apparatus chassis. Mounted on a tilt-cab Ford chassis, the Sutphen Tower featured a mid-ship mounted, three-section telescopic boom with two-man basket and prepiped monitor nozzles at its tip. The open-lattice boom was bolted together instead of welded, resulting in a light but exceptionally strong structure. The first Sutphen Tower was delivered to Norwalk, Ohio. Hundreds more have since been sold all over North America. Sutphen\u2019s head office and plant is in the Columbus suburb of Amlin, Ohio.\nThe first two Sutphen Towers sold in Canada went to Nepean, Ontario in the 1980s \u2013 ordered by none other than our own Chief David Fields, then Chief of the Nepean Fire Department. It was not surprising, then, that Chief Fields was anxious to obtain one of these versatile aerial towers for the Windsor Fire and Rescue Service when the time came, in the late1990\u2019s, to replace much of the city\u2019s aging aerial ladder truck fleet.\nIn the city\u2019s largest-ever single fire apparatus acquisition program, Windsor ordered no fewer than five Sutphen Aerial Towers for delivery during 1998. Three of the big towers had 95-foot booms. The other two were \u201cmini-towers\u201d with 70-foot booms. All were \u201cquints\u201d, equipped with 1,050 gallon-per-minute pumps, 300-gallon booster tanks with preconnected attack lines, hose beds and a complement of portable ground ladders. All had four-door crew cabs with raised rear roofs.\nThe first of the towers, a 95-footer, was delivered in March, 1998. After extensive crew training, it was placed in service as Truck 6 two months later. The other two 95-footers were assigned to Truck 4 and Truck 1. One of the 70-foot mini-towers was exhibited at the Ontario Association of Fire Chiefs (OAFC) convention in London in May. The two mini-towers were placed into service as engine companies, as Engine 2 and Engine 3. The last of the new towers was in front-line service by late October of that year. The 95-foot towers replaced two Hi-Ranger Snorkels purchased in 1971 and 1982 and two conventional aerials delivered in 1981 and 1982.\nOver the dozen years that have passed since their purchase, the white-over-red Sutphens have seen action at every major fire in Windsor. All five of the new Sutphens battled the riverfront Holiday Inn conflagration on April 8, 1999 \u2013 the only time all five were used at the same fire. The Sutphen Towers have stood up well during twelve years of hard urban fire service. As this is being written, however, the sun is setting on this notable phase of Windsor fire service history. One of the towers is up for sale and plans are being made for the replacement of the other four with new aerial devices.",

Kathy Rapp (R-Warren), sponsor of HB 1948, which would restrict abortions and abortion methods in Pennsylvania. Photo by Mary Wilson/WITF.\nDemocratic state lawmakers are denouncing the speedy consideration of a plan to restrict abortions in Pennsylvania.\nThe measure has prompted a swift veto threat from Governor Tom Wolf, but Republicans pressed ahead on Monday, setting it up for a vote in the GOP-controlled House.\nThe plan would change the state's current ban on abortions more than 24 weeks into a pregnancy, reducing the legal window for abortions in Pennsylvania by 4 weeks, making the 20-week-mark the new limit. The measure would also limit the use of a method of abortion known among doctors as dilation and evacuation, but referred to by abortion opponents as \"dismemberment.\"\nPlanned Parenthood Pennsylvania says the bill would curb access and eliminate the \"safest medical procedure\" for legal second trimester abortions.\nSupporters say the changes would limit the pain felt by an unborn child during an abortion.\n\"It's a violent death,\" said Rep. Judy Ward (R-Blair) on Monday, shortly before a key panel sent the measure to the full House for consideration. \"If this happened to animals, people would be outraged. I had someone in my office today upset about pigeon-shoots. These are babies.\"\nDemocrats criticized Republicans for fast-tracking the bill, which was not made public until last Friday afternoon. It was passed by the House Health Committee on Monday.\n\"This process, sadly, has been an abomination,\" said Rep. Michael O'Brien (D-Philadelphia). He joined other Democrats who urged, unsuccessfully, for a public hearing on the bill before putting it to a vote.\nRep. Kathy Rapp (R-Warren), the proposal's sponsor, argued that the issue had already been vetted by other legislative bodies.\n\"It's not an issue that has not been discussed in other states and in our nation,\" said Rapp.\nThe measure has prompted opposition from the Pennsylvania Medical Society and the Pennsylvania Section of the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.\nA spokeswoman for the GOP-controlled Senate said she is not aware of the chamber's plans for the legislation, should it pass the House.",

She told him she could not while he had the \"do not disturb sign\" on the door. When she finished cleaning the room she next attended to, the sign was removed from his door and she entered to clean it.\nThe victim said Carranza-Gonzales was sitting in the chair in the room, and advised her he only wanted her to change the sheets on the bed. She told police she felt very uncomfortable about his request but went to the front of the bed to keep her eyes on him. Moments later, Carranza-Gonzales stood up and walked toward the bathroom.\nThe victim said he then pressed his body against her and pulled her shirt up, while trying to pull her pants down. She said she struggled with him from five-to-ten minutes, but did not want to scream for fear of him potentially physically injuring her.\nCarranza-Gonzales then released the victim to close the curtains in the room, but instead she ran out of the room. She said she then went to her supervisor and reported the incident. The supervisor sent security to the room to question Carranza-Gonzales, but he denied everything. The victim then went to her Human Resources department about the incident and was allegedly told not to involve the police, because it would be her word against his.\nThe next day she called police, who arrested Carranza-Gonzales on October 15. He is charged with sexual assault with intent to commit criminal sexual conduct on a female.",

        "raw_content": "Most authors go through what is called a \u201cwriting process\u201d. For the 3rd and 4th Grade group at the Young Writer\u2019s Camp, this statement is true. Their head instructor, Dearing, made them a chart to help them understand the writing process, this chart can be seen below. The 3rd and 4th graders have utilized this method in order to create a piece of writing which, when they share it with the camp at the end of their two weeks here, they can be proud of.\n\u200bAt the beginning of the class everyday, Dearing would have a writing prompt for the kids. This is what Dearing coined a \u201cquick write\u201d. These quick writes challenge the kids to add important elements such as, imagery, dialogue, and work on revision.\nHere is a picture of the kids\u2019 writing journals where they participate in the quick write.\nHere is a picture of Alex\u2019s quick write. In pencil, he tells his part of the story from the beginning of the day. In pen, he finishes the rest of his story, adding details and dialogue.\nOnce they finish their daily quick write, the other four writing coaches come and help the kids with their stories. The kids begin the process with writing about their own selected topics and the coach\u2019s job to help give constructive feedback to them. It is always up to the author, in this case the kids, whether or not to include the advice from the coaches and other instructors. Once they finish writing, the coaches and instructors will help the kids to revise and edit their work.\nOne important thing a writer must do is to take a break and step away from their work. We like to give them a snack break, which is a time for them to let out their energy and restlessness\nHere is a picture of the kids standing line waiting for their snack.\nHere is a picture of their snack, a\nPopsicle and some assorted\nHere are some pictures of some of the girls enjoying their snack.\nHere is a picture of the four boys, Ben, Paresh, Alex, and Garland (from left to right).\nAfter the final touches are made, the kids will upload their project to their choice of either Powtoons, a comic book esque animation program, Flipsnack, a digital book publishing device, Weebly, a website creator, or Voicethread, a slideshow of images with audio overlayed. On the second Friday of the camp, the kids will have the chance to present their published, final drafts to the rest of the camper\u2019s, as well as, the camper\u2019s family and friends. In preparing for this presentation the kids have practiced presenting their quick write responses to the class. Working on projecting their voice and looking at the audience, the kids have come a long way in their public speaking skills. Their final drafts have another audience as well, they will be sent to a non-profit organization in Kenya called the Melon Project. This organization helps to establish schooling for children and use the stories sent from the Young Writer\u2019s program as inspiration and reading materials for the children they serve.\nNear the end of the class everyday, Dearing would finish off the class with another quick write or lesson that ties everything together. She incorporates issues some kids have had during the day or topics the visiting authors have addressed that day. During this time the kids have enjoyed developing creative, silly short stories they can share with the class. Watching the kid\u2019s skills grow in the various areas of the writing process this camp addresses has made volunteering a rewarding experience.\nHere is a picture of Alex reading his revised quick write.

        "raw_content": "The student-run Norman Rea gallery, in accordance with Arts Awareness Week invited York students and staff to submit their own work to be shown in the gallery\u2019s final exhibition of the year.\nAs with any collaborative exhibition, it is difficult to have an overarching sense of coherence. As none of the artists created their works in discussion with eachother there is no linking factor other than the loose theme, \u2018the Circle\u2019. However, this meant that there was a large variety of work and the brilliant curation by Aily Trimble and Ayomide Sanwo brought often incompatible mediums together in an inspired way.\nThe stand-out work of the evening has got to be Emily Garthwaite\u2019s \u2018Hindu Gods\u2019 series. The stunning trio of photographs contrasted dull, urban surroundings with the vibrant colours of the Hindu God figures. Having completed a Foundation year at Central Saint Martins, Garthwaite is now working towards a career in photography and is certainly one to watch.\nAnother beautiful photographic work was Jonathan Exon\u2019s \u2018Memoriale des Martyrs de la Deportation\u2019. The simple black and white photograph of a flock of birds neatly encircling the composition contrasted with the bright colours of Suzanne Decker\u2019s excellent glasswork pieces.\nI was pleased to be introduced to the work of the University\u2019s resident artist, Ann Decker. It is a shame that the University doesn\u2019t provide more opportunities for students to see her work. Her small ceramic sculpture, \u2018Gold Pool\u2019 encouraged a number of visitors to tiptoe over the high shelf on which it was displayed in order to better see the intricate \u2018pool\u2019 of gold.\nIt was refreshing to see a number of video works exhibited, as the medium is often overlooked and has not been shown so far this year at the Norman Rea gallery. Jordan Licht\u2019s \u2018Nighthawks\u2019 was an interesting study of Edward Hopper\u2019s painting by the same name.\nTim Pierce\u2019s unusual medium for his piece, \u2018Spin Cycle\u2019 of a washing machine door notably stimulated conversation. The bold colours and interesting shapes in the washing machine door attempted to imply movement, aided by our preconceptions of the washing machine and the title of the artwork.\nThe Outside space in the area between the gallery and Courtyard seemed oddly disparate from the rest of the gallery. However, the interactive artwork encouraged audience participation and a great opportunity for the gallery\u2019s visitors become a part of the exhibition.\nThis interesting collection of mediums and artists proves to be a thought provoking and surprisingly high quality exhibition. This was an excellent celebration of the end of the year and hints towards what will hopefully be another successful year for the gallery.\u2019\nJen Ward draws some surprising medieval parallels to the question of women bishops in the Church of England.\nWe live in an age in which the fast pace of progress is celebrated; technology is updated almost incessantly and social networking sites allow us minute by minute updates on the lives of others. International developments reach us almost instantaneously via 24-hour news channels. Change is, in many respects, now presented as a healthy and positive thing. However, on 20 November 2012, the General Synod of the Church of England voted against allowing women to become ordained as bishops. To me, this seems entirely incompatible with an age which professes to promote equal opportunities employment and is desperate to ensure it is as up-to-date as it possibly can be.\nOn that day, 20 November, I was frantically reading The Boke of Margery Kempe, in preparation for my \u2018Late Medieval Literature\u2019 seminar the following day. For those who haven\u2019t come into contact with this obscure and utterly eccentric text, it follows the life of a fourteenth century female visionary who roamed the country trying to tell the word of God (which she heard from Jesus in her head) to priests and laity alike. Margery Kempe was, for many English Literature students, the straw that broke the camel\u2019s back when it came to trying to access the Medieval period. However, when reading it, I couldn\u2019t help but be forcibly reminded of the discussions going on in the Church of England at the moment, a mere eight centuries later.\nAs a practising member of the Church of England myself, I am in no hurry to condemn it. Both churches which I attend have several female members of the clergy. However, I find it alarming that Margery\u2019s struggle to be heard amongst the patriarchy of the fourteenth-century church has such a resonance with our situation today. One of the arguments cited against the installation of female bishops is a passage of scripture in which St Paul says \u201cI do not permit a woman to teach or have authority over a man \u2013 she must be silent\u201d (1 Timothy 2:12). St Paul is also cited in Margery Kempe, where (in York in fact) a \u201cgreat cleric quickly produced a book and quoted St Paul for his part against her, that no woman should preach\u201d. Here they are referring to 1 Corinthians 14: 34-35, which objects to a woman speaking in a church; ever-resourceful Margery evades this by spreading the word outside the realm of church and pulpit. Perhaps this is what the women of today should do.\nTo me, it seems that the more the voice of a woman is denied in a church, or anywhere, the more power is attributed to it, ironically. Given that in many other walks of life women now do \u2018teach or have authority over men\u2019, it comes across as backwards, even archaic, that women\u2019s career prospects are still limited in this way by such a large institution as the Church. However, because it is a religious institution, it is not required to follow \u2018equalities and employment\u2019 legislation.\nTo give the Church of England its due, the measure only failed by a narrow margin, needing a mere six more votes to get it passed. Let us hope that at the next General Synod they find those all-important votes. Did I mention this will be in 2015? What\u2019s three years after eight-hundred?\nSupportive \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014- >\nIf you were planning a trillion-pound, sixteen-year indoctrination program to turn out the next generation of our society, which column would you build it around?\nThe present school system is built on fear. Fear of exams. Fear of Ofsted. Fear of failure.\nAll this fear can only output blank generations capable of being obedient.\nYet the world has changed since the modern school was conceived in an industrial Britain. Then the economy needed homogenised, obedient workers and pliant, eager consumers. Today the mass-customisable planet demands innovation.\nEducation policy must, then, topple Column B. Only then can students be free from the fear of failure.\nGerard Depardieu lumbered around the stage of a provincial Russian town, brandishing his new Russian passport, before being bundled into a traditional regional smock. Hours earlier, he had dined with President Putin. Russia was embracing an exile, driven to their country by punitive state legislation. Or so they would like to have us believe. The arrival of Depardieu was undoubtedly a coup for the government, a sign of the new appeal of Russia to those disillusioned with the West, a sign of their legitimacy as a world power. Eighty years earlier, a series of Western intellectuals had come to fete the Soviet Union and engender it with a similar validity. Yet the gulf between the visits is more than simply chronological. The \u201cfellow-travellers\u201d saw the USSR as an attempt to create a new civilisation; Depardieu and the modern celebrities who fawn on dictators around the world see low taxes and the loosening of an oligarch\u2019s purse-strings.\nThe collapse of the Soviet Union at the beginning of the 1990s was heralded as a triumph of democracy, free markets and free elections liberating the long-suffering people. In reality, the chaotic nature of the decade led to many countries returning to more authoritarian leadership, or merely retaining Soviet-era apparatchiks in power. They invariably became incredibly wealthy and ran corrupt and abusive states. The Turkmen leader, Saparmurat Niyazov, renamed himself Turkmenbashi, Father of the Turkmen, and became known for his personality cult \u2013 he had a gold-plated statue of himself erected in the capital, Ashgabat. It revolved to always face the sun.\nIf Turkmenbashi was the apotheosis of venal Central Asian dictatorship, he set an example for others. Islam Kamirov has ruled Uzbekistan since 1989, becoming notorious for a series of alleged human rights abuses, as has Ramzan Kadyrov, the Chechen warlord who ascended to the presidency from the ruin of the wars there. Kamirov and Kadyrov, as well as the Putin-Medvedev duumvirate, have played host to a number of American and European celebrities, often singers performing at exclusive concerts. Their defence when questioned about the allegations against their patrons is often ignorance, a sense that politics interferes with artistic freedom, and therefore can be overlooked. The irony of citing such rights to perform as an excuse for appeasing governments such as Putin\u2019s is evident in the aftermath of the Pussy Riot case. However, the artists represent a new global citizenry, an elite whose fame has transcended national boundaries, and are therefore free to do the same. The supranational nature of football is an example: the Dagestani club Anzhi Makhachkala has persuaded world-class players to join them, despite their location in a volatile region of the country that requires the players to make a thousand mile commute from Moscow to play, through the wealth of a local oligarch.\nIt is now far simpler for wealthy individuals to choose their nationality and residence. However, the contrast between this and the intellectuals who pledged their support to Stalin\u2019s Soviet Union is noticeable. Authors may have been flattered \u2013 their books were placed in libraries and scholars discussed them in public \u2013 but this was merely securing the bargain. Those who lent their support to the USSR saw it as the future, a new civilization in the process of attaining enlightenment and perfection. They invested a secular faith into the project; modern fellow travellers are more likely to pay lip service to an individual for their personal gain. Apologies are forthcoming when their actions are noticed \u2013 Hilary Swank donated her fee to charity after appearing in Chechnya for Kadyrov\u2019s birthday \u2013 but the motivation is plainly financial. Russia has a flat income tax rate of just 13%, and Depardieu moved there shortly after President Hollande announced a new 75% top rate for France. Many also seek the privacy of a new nationality, away from prying media attention.\nMoreover, the status of those who are able to transform their national identity, and move freely, is notable. If one has sufficient wealth, it is possible. If not, one is stranded, no matter their need. When the Russian businessman Boris Berezovsky claimed political asylum in Britain, there was no detention centre and debate over status. He was accommodated, his wealth and position overriding any concerns. For your average asylum seeker, the flight for their lives could hardly be different. A two-speed system has been created, whereby national borders are erased to ease the lives of the wealthy, whilst limiting the opportunities of the global poor. Russia\u2019s tax rate benefits only a tiny minority of the population; Depardieu\u2019s citizenship lends needed credibility to Vladimir Putin\u2019s regime. Either way, as in the 1930s, we all suffer from the transcendence of social norms by a global elite.\nPreview on The Looking Glass Anthology (June 2013)\nWe are the children of Trash, by Trash I mean our culture of bright colours, bright lights, loud sounds and strong smells from the commercial products that allow us to bury our senses in. The Looking Glass Anthology is comprised of works of student poets, playwrights and storytellers from the University of York, with almost 60 of them available it is a vast literary achievement that is sorely missed in our university.\nReading these poems, scripts and stories has helped me figure-out the \u2018zeitgeist\u2019 of young people of today, I believe that we are divided. Our organic senses are divided, as we can see in Karl O\u2019Hanon\u2019sAutumn\u2019s Heart, and in Christian Foley\u2019s Farther. Our senses collide against each other and we see things change as certainly as machines function, but they do so as if made of skin and bone.\n\u201ca pink smear that slowly turned into an ocean churning blue black\u201d\nMetaphors of trash culture demonstrated by the students of the University of York reveal not only how they think but also how you and I think and feel. Our world is one of a constant collision of opposites, as is shown in Alexander Ulyet\u2019s Gratitude,\n\u201cmanufactured crashes and robotic hymns\u201d\nThe age old traditions still do live on but now they look like robots and advertisements for a product to sell. This is where the beauty of the Looking Glass Anthology\u2019s pieces reside; the mundane world becomes strange and ecstatically beautiful,\n\u201cmoulding tumbledriers and clothes pegs\u201d\n\u201cI think of the strangest place in melody and multiply it\u201d\n(Beth Curtis, There\u2019s an old Funk in the Basement and The Resting)\nThis new way of looking at our mundane world is a solution to our youthful problem of boredom, in which we bluntly experience a dullness and plainness of a monotonous life (see Bethany Wilson\u2019s The Average Life). We, the young generation, swing between boredom and \u2018nausea\u2019 and between confused and ecstatic emotions. Today, our metaphors and poems are like innocent dreams on cocaine, such as Alexander Ulyet\u2019s Bambi on Ice where youth, joy and hedonism propel us to our own disaster and leaves our teeth scattered on the ground.\nThe Looking Glass Anthology demonstrates beautifully the way the young person thinks and feels, this anthology is not merely for individual artistic recognition of writerly talent, it can help us understand the consequences of living in this multifaceted world.",

        "raw_content": "Q & A with Director Nigel Cole\nA scene from \u201cMade In Dagenham,\u201d starring Sally Hawkins\nAs part of ZAMM.com\u2019s continuing conversations with leading independent filmmakers Martin Grove talks to director Nigel Cole about his comedy drama \u201cMade in Dagenham,\u201d which opened Nov. 19 via Sony Pictures Classics and is generating an awards season buzz, particularly for its performances by Sally Hawkins and Miranda Richardson.\nWritten by William Ivory, it was produced by Stephen Woolley and Elizabeth Karlsen. Starring are Sally Hawkins (\u201cHappy\u2013Go\u2013Lucky\u201d), Bob Hoskins (\u201cThe Long Good Friday\u201d) and Miranda Richardson (\u201cThe Young Victoria\u201d).\n\u201cMade in Dagenham\u201d had its World Premiere at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival. It also played this year at the Hamptons International Film Festival and the Chicago International Film Festival.\nThe Story (official synopsis \u2013 beware spoilers):\nSet against the backdrop of the 1960s, \u201cMade in Dagenham\u201d is based on a true story about a group of spirited women who joined forces, took a stand for what was right, and in doing so, found their own inner strength.\nAlthough far from the Swinging Sixties of Carnaby Street, life for the women of Dagenham, England is tinged with the sounds and sights of the optimistic era, heard on their radios and seen on their TV sets. Rita O\u2019Grady (Sally Hawkins) reflects that upbeat era, along with her friends and co\u2013workers at the city\u2019s Ford Motor Factory \u2014 Sandra (Jamie Winstone), Eileen (Nicola Duffett), Brenda (Andrea Riseborough), Monica (Lorraine Stanley) and Connie (Geraldine James) \u2014 who laugh in the face of their poor conditions.\nLisa (Rosamund Pike) is a fiercely intelligent Cambridge\u2013educated woman who feels a bit trapped, tending to her home with a husband who suggests she keep her opinions to herself. She may not live in the same world as the other women, but she shares their views. No one thought the revolution would come to Dagenham, until one day, it did.\nRita, who primarily sees herself as a wife and mother, is coerced into attending a meeting with shop steward Connie, sympathetic union representative Albert (Bob Hoskins) and Peter Hopkins (Rupert Graves), Ford\u2019s Head of Industrial Relations. What she expects to be simply a day out of work, complete with a free lunch, turns into much more when she and her colleagues become outraged by the lack of respect shown in the meeting to the women employees.\nWith humor, common sense and courage Rita and the other women take on their bosses, an increasingly belligerent local community, and finally the government, as their intelligence and unpredictability proves to be a match for any of their male opponents. Daring to stand up and push boundaries, the women changed a system that no one wanted to admit was broken.\nNIGEL COLE\u2019s first feature \u201cSaving Grace\u201d saw his career rise straight to the top, bringing him a British Independent Film Award for Best Director and the Audience Prize at the Sundance Film Festival. He followed this up with \u201cCalendar Girls,\u201d which was both a box office success and critically acclaimed throughout the U.K. Among his other feature directorial credits are \u201cA Lot Like Love\u201d and \u201c5 Dollars a Day.\u201d\nCole has also directed a series of \u201cIn the Wild\u201d celebrity wildlife documentaries, including \u201cGalapagos\u201d with Richard Dreyfuss; \u201cMeg Ryan in Thailand\u201d and \u201cOrangutans\u201d with Julia Roberts, which won him a Genesis Award for PBS Documentary of the Year. Cole\u2019s other television credits include work on the popular series \u201cCold Feet\u201d and ITV\u2019s medical drama \u201cPeak Practice.\u201d\nQ: How did you get to make \u201cMade in Dagenham?\u201d\nA: It was a struggle. The producers had been working on it a while before they approached me in the early scripting stage and working with the women. I think the word \u201cstrike\u201d is often a turnoff in cinema. It feels like it might be rather bleak and depressing and a lament of some kind, but I think what struck us very powerfully when we met the women and heard their stories was how funny they were and what enormous sense of excitement they had achieving this thing.\nThat gave us permission, if you like, and certainly inspired us to make a film that could be entertaining and could be very positive and uplifting and inspiring. I think me coming on board helped the producers persuade the industry that that was so because my \u201cCalendar Girls\u201d credentials suggested that I knew how to make a film that was kind of positive and funny and entertaining.\nQ: When did you sign on?\nA: I came on board about six months before we actually started work on it and worked with the writer a little while. That was the end of 2008.\nQ: So you were working with William Ivory then?\nA: Yes. I really adored him and he was a great collaborator. We spent some time balancing this kind of truthful piece of drama with what we wanted to make, which was an entertaining and occasionally funny film. That balance is something I like to do, but is not always easy.\nQ: The events that you focus on are things that actually happened, but did you fictionalize some of it or create characters that are composites of various people?\nA: Of course, we did. The actual mechanics of the strike and how they went on strike and what happened to them is all pretty much a hundred percent accurate. Where, of course, you will have guessed we\u2019ve embellished or distilled is some of their personal stories just to kind of make it all fit into two hours and really to bring out the spirit of what they told us. But I don\u2019t think there\u2019s anything in the film that wasn\u2019t inspired by something the surviving women told us.\nQ: Is Sally Hawkins\u2019 character Rita one of the surviving women?\nA: No. She\u2019s an amalgam of two women \u2014 two and a half women, if you like. We took a little bit of one and quite a lot of another two women and kind of combined them. Our intention was that Rita, the character, really represents all women. It was very important to us to find a character who represented the spirit of all 187 women (working at Ford\u2019s Dagenham plant at the time). What I liked about them was that they weren\u2019t politicized. They weren\u2019t driven by a political agenda at all.\nIt was the main body of women that won this battle, not their representatives. And none of them had any time or interest in union politics or national politics at all. We felt it was important to have this character who was very much established as a housewife and mother and kind of found her feet and found her voice as the story goes on. So she\u2019s an amalgam of one of the women who was a shop steward and a couple of the regular shop floor girls.\nQ: You have in Miranda Richardson\u2019s character, Barbara Castle, someone who, of course, was a real person and was Britain\u2019s Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity at the time.\nA: Well, it\u2019s scary (playing such a character) because you know there are a lot of people who have a very strong view of Barbara Castle. She\u2019s still a very famous political figure. She died, I think, 10 years ago, but she\u2019s still very fondly remembered for her legacy. And for her family you want to get it right. We had the advantage of many hours of archive footage of her and taped interviews and her own diaries, which were published in the late \u201870s, in which she talks a lot about the strike and meeting the women.\nSo we had access to quite a lot of detail. But I think, as Miranda said, you look at a photograph of Barbara Castle and you kind of know the kind of woman she was. She was a very striking woman to look at. She did have this red hair and she kind of springs out in a photograph at you. I needed an actress who had that kind of screen presence so you immediately got the power of the woman. And obviously Miranda was my first choice.\nQ: And then you\u2019ve got Bob Hoskins, who in this instance plays a good guy. We\u2019re so used to seeing him as the cockney gangster.\nA: Well, exactly. I was amazed. I went to meet him and I thought I was going to talk him into doing the film and the very first thing he said to me was, \u201cYou don\u2019t have to persuade me. I\u2019m going to do this film. I read the script and I cried. My God, I am Albert. I had that relationship with my mother. I believe in equality for women. We have to tell this story.\u201d He was one of the most emotionally engaged performers that we have. He really loved the script. I\u2019ll always be grateful to him.\nThe first few days of shooting we shot those early factory scenes where he jumps down on to the factory floor. He got a little bit of a shock because while he was off set once (we did something). I had over a hundred real factory girls in those scenes. We took over a real factory that had just closed down and we hired many of the women who worked for the factory to be our extras. I gave a little speech to them and said, \u201cLook, Bob Hoskins is going to come into this scene.\u201d\nThe original women told me that when they were safe on their own factory floor they used to delight when men arrived and went to their world and they would make fun of them. They would be quite rude both verbally and physically. I said, \u201cI know he\u2019s Bob Hoskins and I know he\u2019s a big star, but you\u2019ve got to forget that. He\u2019s Albert and you have my permission to be as rude with him as you like.\u201d After a couple of takes, Bob came to me and said, \u201cYou\u2019ve got to tell them to quiet down a bit, you know. This is all too much for me.\u201d There were 187 women and Bob Hoskins.\nQ: Tell me about casting Sally Hawkins.\nA: When I was approached about the script I knew she\u2019d already expressed an interest in it. She was a big part of me wanting to do the film. I\u2019ve been a huge fan of hers and I was very keen to get a chance to work with her. She has that wonderful ability to be strong and tough and incredibly vulnerable simultaneously. And that\u2019s exactly what the role required. So she was a huge part of getting the film done, I thought. And she was no disappointment. I know I sound very show\u2013bizzy, but this is so true \u2014 I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever been so impressed with an actress. She was just remarkable.\n\u201cMade In Dagenham\u201d \u2013 In theaters November 19th\nQ: And at that point you\u2019d probably seen her in \u201cHappy\u2013Go\u2013Lucky?\u201d\nA: I\u2019d seen her in that and in smaller roles on television and in films. You just kind of hear about her in the industry. Anybody who\u2019s worked with her has nothing but great things to say about her.\nA: I do, but in this case I made a decision not to so much. I made a big attempt in this one to kind of make it feel real for the actors on set and to kind of keep out of their way. I had a conversation with Helen Mirren when I did \u201cCalendar Girls\u201d about working with Robert Altman on \u201cGosford Park.\u201d She told me about how the amazing thing working with Altman is that you never knew what he was doing. You never felt like the camera was there and the actors had to play to the camera.\nWith Altman it was all about the scene. And then the cameras would be doing their stuff and you wouldn\u2019t know if it was your close\u2013up or even if you were in the shot. I loved the sound of that and on this one I tried to take the same approach so I kind of kept the cameras back and out of the way of the actors. That process of moving in for an actor\u2019s close\u2013up can often be a performance killer. It constricts the actor physically because the camera comes in, the lighting comes in, the technicians come closer and the actor gets a little wound up. You know, \u201cIt\u2019s my close\u2013up now\u201d and gets nervous or tries to do something different. So I deliberately tried to make every scene as real and as fresh for the actors as possible.\nQ: Did that leave you wishing later on that you had close\u2013ups to use?\nA: I was making sure that we were getting them, but often I wouldn\u2019t let the actor know we were. The camera might be on a very long lens and kind of picking out the close\u2013up from somewhere away. I found that liberating. I really enjoyed that method of working and will do it again because it meant it was all about me and the actors in the scene. It reduced the technical process somewhat, I felt.\nIn everything I did I tried to make it as real as possible. For example, we shot the scenes where they get to meet Barbara Castle quite late in the schedule deliberately. By then all the women who were playing the strikers knew each other terribly well and had become quite bonded as a group. But I deliberately wound them up about how we were going to be working with Miranda next week and kept them apart so when they actually met it was a bit like them meeting Castle, herself. They were kind of meeting this slightly intimidating and incredibly famous person.\nQ: That sounds like quite a clever approach.\nA: Well, it seemed to work. They\u2019ve all kind of remarked upon it since. Those early scenes where they shake hands and one of them does a little curtsy all came out of the (way it was set up). It felt differently. We were there with Miranda. It was exciting to do that.\nA: It\u2019s always hard making a period film on a very low budget. Of course, this is a low budget British film. You don\u2019t get the money to build anything or really do very much. You have to find all those locations and areas that still exist as they were. So that\u2019s kind of laborious and quite hard work. We were very lucky with the factory. We had this factory that had just closed down and had the right grandeur and scale, but also had these areas that were kind of run down. That was very helpful, finding that. But doing period films on a low budget is tough. You\u2019ve really got to work twice as hard.\nQ: The factory you found, I understand, was in Wales.\nA: That\u2019s right. In a small town called Merthyr Tydfil \u2014 which I\u2019ve no idea how to spell (but happily it\u2019s in the press notes). It\u2019s one of those Welsh words that has too many consonants! We employed many of the women from the town who\u2019d recently been made unemployed and that was a lovely thing to do and they really responded. They were so thrilled to be part of it that it helped with those big factory scenes.\nA: It was about $6 or $7 million. One of my best friends is Paul Greengrass, who did the Bourne films and was finishing \u201cGreen Zone\u201d as we were beginning this and I remember he and I working out that his second set of reshoots was longer than my entire shoot! I had five and a half weeks to shoot this. It\u2019s a whole different world, a whole different process and you just have to kind of run at it and go for it and kind of keep the momentum and pace going. It\u2019s a challenge. But I find that you get results from that. There\u2019s an energy. You don\u2019t have time to second guess things. You have to go on instinct, you know. Often I think that works well for me.\nQ: There must be a degree of satisfaction in getting to make a film you wanted to make that Hollywood would almost certainly never make.\nA: Yes \u2014 although I\u2019ve been reminded a lot about \u201cNorma Rae\u201d (Martin Ritt\u2019s critically acclaimed 1979 drama for 20th Century Fox, which receive a Best Pictures Oscar nomination. Sally Field won the Best Actress Oscar for playing a young single mother who helps organize workers in her textile factory despite the dangers of doing so). There\u2019s even a scene in my film that\u2019s very similar to a scene in that film.\nBut I think that was way back then and I think now Hollywood might not make this kind of film. I think it helps us understand what it is we have to do in the British film industry. There\u2019s not point in us taking on Hollywood. We need to do those films that Hollywood won\u2019t make and provide an alternative. In my career, that\u2019s been making stories about women. That is often a rare event. I\u2019ve had great pleasure in being able to be different simply by making films about women.\nQ: How did the movie come to Sony Classics?\nA: They knew about it. Steve Woolley and Liz Karlsen, the producers, have a great relationship with Sony so they were well aware of it. But the producers made the decision not to sell the American rights until after we\u2019d made it. Sony was so excited about the concept and about Sally Hawkins that they actually made a pre\u2013emptive bid for it without seeing it. I was a big fan of \u201cAn Education\u201d and they handled that so brilliantly that I felt I was in really good hands.\nQ: And they must feel good about what you\u2019ve given them to work with.\nA: It\u2019s very nice to make a positive film. You feel like that\u2019s kind of a rare thing in a film that has something to say. Of course, there are many mainstream films and comedies that ultimately are upbeat and positive, but it was a very conscious decision \u2014 and, I think, the right one \u2014 to make an upbeat positive film about something that traditionally is thought of as a negative. A film about a strike and about an issue. And that all came from the way the original women told their stories. We sat down and listened to their stories and were blown away by the fun and excitement they expressed.\nWe thought, well, we\u2019ll use that and make a film that deserved to be seen by as wide an audience as possible. I want everyone to know what these women did. I didn\u2019t want to make an art film. I didn\u2019t want to make a film that was only shown in eight or nine cinemas. I wanted to make a film that a big popular audience would see. I\u2019ve no interest in preaching to the converted.",

My daughter was napping so she wasn't in harm's way, my son was walking next to me so he was fine and my wife was relaxing on our deck. What could this person want?\nI released the lawn mower handle to let it shut off and walked across the yard to the man's car. As I approached I saw an elderly man with huge smile on his face.\nI said hello, and he immediately started in on a story.\nHe told me that 22 years ago, when his boy was 3, he would follow him with a toy lawnmower, too. He ordered me to go get my wife and make her take pictures and record video. The man was beyond happy and I'm pretty sure his eyes started to tear up as he shared this memory with me. He explained that his wife filmed him and his son, all those years ago, and they still watch that video from time to time.\nAs he started to pull away, he reminded me to tell my wife to take pictures and videos, and said life is very short so don't forget to soak in each moment.\nAn unexpected and pleasant reminder about how life's important things are usually standing right next to you...",

        "raw_content": "I turned 22 exactly 2 weeks earlier and then walked the Campanile at Kansas University a little more than a week before leaving. I spent my last few days in my hometown bidding adieu to friends both old and new and, with the help of my brother, I ditched my blue Ford Escort on the side of the highway (taking the license plate and any personal effects with me). Then I left.\nOn the first day of June, I arrived in Charlotte, North Carolina with my college girlfriend. The relationship had been strained for some time, but we had agreed to live together during the summer and there weren\u2019t a lot of options otherwise. So, for 3 months, we made the most of what would, ultimately, be an unsustainable endeavor.\nA few days after she left Charlotte to return to her collegiate life, roughly 3 months into my year in Charlotte, I ended the relationship over the phone. Not the last break up I would have to initiate. Not even that year. Thus began, in earnest, 10 Cities/10 Years.\nI can\u2019t pinpoint when I first believed I would actually spend a decade of my life (the majority of my 20s) in pursuit of this silly undertaking, but I know it wasn\u2019t that early on. I didn\u2019t want to stay in Charlotte all my life, that I knew, and I was still rather hellbent on ending up in New York (even though I\u2019d only ever been there twice), but the future was hazy. Some fervent demon whispering in my ear was convincing me that I had some larger ambition to pursue.\nSo persistent was this wild dream that, once my year in Charlotte had come to an end, I left behind a whirlwind romance to move to Philadelphia, even though I had no idea what lay ahead of me.\nFor 9 years, I have made my way from one U.S. city to the next, making friends, finding work, getting by. Getting old. When I started this project, not a single episode of How I Met Your Mother had aired and Neil Patrick Harris had yet to ascend to the role of everyone\u2019s favorite gay man (sorry Anderson Cooper). Speaking of which, when I started this project, same-sex marriage was only legal in one state (Massachusetts). Now it\u2019s legal in 19 states and the District of Columbia.\nA lot can happen in almost a decade. The nation changes. The world changes. My life has changed, in large part because of the people I\u2019ve come across along the way. I\u2019ve made dozens and dozens of very close friends over these years, and each one has shaped my evolution as a person.\nI\u2019ve given up friends, too. Most of the people who have met me over the years have either known me exclusively as the guy doing some crazy project, or they\u2019ve been the friends with whom I\u2019ve experienced my various cities. For the former, when I left I was merely a person whose story they could recount to strangers, something cool worth a few minutes at the bar. For the latter, though, they had become integral parts of my story, and then because of the dictates of my project I left them behind, possibly never to meet again.\nIn the age of Facebook, Twitter, Instragram and whatever else, it\u2019s possible to remain linked to most everyone I\u2019ve met, but that doesn\u2019t mean that genuine relationships are easy to maintain. Friends have remained behind, gotten married, had children, accomplished artistic/business success, and I have been, quite frequently, only able to respond with a \u2018like.\u2019 And for 9 years, I\u2019ve had to trust that that was enough. Even when it wasn\u2019t.\nNo matter how far I depart from my Christian upbringing, I can\u2019t escape the notion that we should all live with a grander purpose. Religion doesn\u2019t hold the monopoly on meaning.\nPerhaps \u2018purpose\u2019 is the wrong word. \u2018Ambition\u2019 is probably more descriptive. A \u2018purpose\u2019 suggests an end game, whereas ambition drives us forward without needing to know how everything will conclude. This project merely provides a vague direction and a hope that when I\u2019m done with this decade of my life I\u2019ll have gained something, even if it\u2019s nothing but a unique collection of experiences.\nAnd there has certainly been no shortage of experiences. I\u2019ve documented a number of them on this site over the years, but sometimes the most life-changing experiences are those that, in the moment, seem insignificant. Certainly, minor happenstances and random chance have played as big if not a bigger part in the direction of my life than the major events. I don\u2019t know how this is all going to end.\nWhen I look back from the vantage of 10 years, what will the story be?\nHow long have you devoted to a single goal? Maybe 4 or 5 years for a college degree? Another 2 or 3 for a Masters, and then longer for a doctorate. Perhaps you\u2019ve been working at a job for a number of years, working your way up the corporate ladder. Or maybe you\u2019ve been playing in a band, touring and recording, all in the ultimate pursuit of signing to a major label and arriving on the national stage.\nI\u2019m entering the last year of my pursuit. With 9 years behind me and 1 ahead, I suppose I feel like anyone who\u2019s given substantial years of their life for a dream. I feel like I\u2019ve accomplished something of note, but I can\u2019t say what if anything will come of it. So, really, it\u2019s not all that dissimilar to graduating.\nI guess that kind of makes this the beginning of my Senior Year. One last year to relish every new experience, one last year to acquire all the knowledge I will need for the next stage of my life. A final year to put all the pieces in place and hope the puzzle looks something like the picture on the box.\nAnd who knows, maybe this will be the year I finally ask the head cheerleader to prom.\n1 more to go. Wish me luck.\n10 Cities, Blog, Travel9 Years, blogging, Boston, Charlotte, Chicago, Costa Mesa, Graduation, Moving, Nashville, New Orleans, New York City, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle, Travel\nWriters Versus Content Creators \u2192\nOne thought on \u201c9 Years\u201d\nkhaleesismom says:\nHi Lyttleton!

        "title": "Bring Back the Treasuries! | 13th Dimension, Comics, Creators, Culture",
        "raw_content": "Bring Back the Treasuries!\nHome \u00bb Bring Back the Treasuries!\nOne thing I miss about today\u2019s comics culture is the treasury edition \u2014 that oversized goldmine of comics glory that brightened the Bronze Age.\nThe treasury edition, as if you didn\u2019t know, were tabloid-size comics with cardboard covers published primarily by DC and Marvel in the 1970s. They could feature original stories or reprints, or both. In any event, they were awesome.\nRob Kelly, the editor of the book \u201cHey Kids, Comics! True-Life Tales from the Spinner Rack\u201d and a prolific blogger in his own right, is the world\u2019s greatest authority on treasury editions. Or maybe he isn\u2019t. That\u2019s hard to measure. But he does have an exceptionally detailed website devoted solely to the format and if you\u2019re not careful, you could find yourself lost in there until they send out the search parties.\nRob\u2019s a friend of the ol\u2019 13th Dimension, so he and I had a back-and-forth about that magical style of comic book:\nDan: You\u2019re the maven: What\u2019s the brief history of the treasury edition?\nRob: Well, when most comics fans talk about \u201ctreasury editions,\u201d they\u2019re really talking about the oversized books DC and Marvel put out from 1972-1982(ish). But DC\u2019s first-ever series, New Fun Comics from 1935, was printed in the treasury size, 10 x 15, to replicate the style of newspaper Sunday comics inserts.\nOther publishers dabbled in putting out comics that size (Fawcett\u2019s Master Comics, Charles Biro\u2019s Tops, Fiction House\u2019s Jumbo Comics) through the \u201940s, \u201950s, and \u201960s, but it wasn\u2019t until DC and Marvel decided to do them that the format really gained popularity.\nBy the early 1970s, circulation figures were dwindling across the board, so both companies started trying different formats \u2013100-page giants, black-and-white magazines, digests, and treasury editions. Right off the bat, DC and Marvel marketed the treasuries as something special, labeling them \u201ccollector\u2019s editions\u201d \u2014 unlike their regular comics, they offered them directly from the company as well as on newsstands and the like.\nDC started off their line of treasuries with Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer, Shazam!, Tarzan, and The House of Mystery (not Superman or Batman, unbelievably), while Marvel decided to throw the ball right over the plate \u2014 they gave all their major stars a crack at the treasury format in succession: Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, Conan, the Hulk, Thor, the Avengers, etc.\nMarvel was so, er, big on the format that they offered copies of Marvel Treasury Edition #1 signed by Stan Lee and John Romita which, to my memory, has to be one of the first times a publisher ever acknowledged that the signatures of the creators was something you would want, something that made a comic extra special.\nI distinctly remember my mother buying me a Famous First Edition of Flash Comics #1 from 1975, which means I would have been 4, 5 years old at the most. The comic was so huge, so impressive, that it installed in me a love of the format that remains to this day.\nAfter the Flash, did you start hunting them down or was that later?\nWell, this was when they were originally published in 1975, so I wouldn\u2019t have known how to track them down even if that had occurred to me. Back then, as far as I knew once a comic left the newsstands, it was gone forever.\nBut I made sure my parents bought me every treasury I could. Not only did the size continually impress me, but the fact that Marvel and DC also stuffed the books with fun little bonus features, or stuff that I didn\u2019t normally get to see \u2014 case in point, Limited Collectors\u2019 Edition #C-37, an all-Batman issue, featured a sequence from the 1940s Batman newspaper strip, something I didn\u2019t even know existed. I distinctly remember Two-Face dying at the end, and I was like, \u201cUm, what?\u201d I must have read it a thousand times. They would also run puzzles, how-to-draw segments, pin-ups, articles on live-action versions of the characters \u2026 the books really did feel special.\nThe best treasury ever.\nMy father would occasionally put in a Saturday at his office, and since my Mom was working too he would take me with him. We\u2019d stop at a department store (Woolworth\u2019s, usually) and he would buy me two or three of them, and I would sit at his secretary\u2019s desk for hours, never making a peep. Considering those books were only a buck or so apiece, he got peace and quiet for a whole afternoon for only three or four bucks. Not a bad deal!\nThe treasuries were also informal history lessons on comics. Since they were, often as not, reprint collections, I got a chance to see dozens of comics stories that I normally never would have had access to \u2014 Golden Age Batman stories, C.C. Beck\u2019s Shazam!, Lee/Kirby Fantastic Fours, etc. It made the world of comics feel bigger, both literally and figuratively.\nWhen did you begin tracking down treasuries in earnest? And did you have a Holy Grail that eluded you for a long time?\nI would look for treasuries at conventions every so often, but the prices were usually beyond what I was willing to spend; plus because they\u2019re so hard to store that I could usually only find them in really poor condition. Once I discovered eBay however, then all bets were off \u2014 I tracked down every DC and Marvel treasury that there was, even ones I didn\u2019t really want (Am I really bidding $20 for the Marvel Smurfs treasury? Yes I am) until I had them all.\nThere never really was a holy grail, because it was fairly easy to find all the DC and Marvels on eBay. Once I launched the TreasuryComics.com site, though, I realized there were dozens of treasuries from other publishers that I didn\u2019t know existed. So then the collecting process started all over again!\nIf that\u2019s the case, then, which do you deem your most valuable? Or favorite?\nI only deal with favorites; and while I love all of them (okay, maybe not Marvel\u2019s Annie movie adaptation), there are a couple that I distinctly remember having as a kid and are especially beloved:\nLimited Collectors\u2019 Edition C-40 \u2013 Dick Tracy, DC. The one and only time DC licensed the Dick Tracy strip, it featured an ongoing continuity starring Flattop. I don\u2019t think I had ever seen Dick Tracy to that point, and I just fell in love with it. I didn\u2019t really understand the difference between comic books and comic strips, though I could tell this was different than what I normally saw. It launched a love of the form that continues to this day, and was a major inspiration for my webcomic Ace Kilroy. I always wondered why DC never did it again, so a year or so ago I asked longtime DC staffer Bob Rozakis and he told me it sold so poorly there was never an impetus to do it again. I don\u2019t know what was wrong with my fellow 1970s kids!\nLimited Collectors\u2019 Edition C-47 \u2013 Superman Salutes The Bicentennial, DC. A classic case of bait-and-switch: The title and cover feature Superman, but on Page 1 he introduces the stories, which were old Tomahawk reprints. I have an appreciation for that stuff now (sort of), but when I was a kid I couldn\u2019t have cared less. Ripoff! Luckily though, the back cover featured a history of the U.S. president, in order, along with the years they served. It helped inspire a love of history (specifically presidential history) that, like my love of comic strips, continues to today. I have a friend whose little boy is a nut on the subject of the presidents, so as a Christmas present I scanned the back cover and added all the presidents that have come since.\nMarvel Treasury Edition #18 \u2013 The Astonishing Spider-Man. I bought this one while my family and I were on vacation in the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania, which we did every year around my birthday. The cabin we rented didn\u2019t have a TV, so I read tons and tons of comics. This book featured various Spidey team-ups, along with some great puzzle and gag pages by the incomparable Marie Severin. Spider-Man and the X-Men vs. Morbius the Living Vampire, drawn by Gil Kane, at a giant size! How can you beat that?",

She believes that deep beneath the stillness of a captured image, photographs convey a subtle story \u2013 a story of existence weaved into a fragment of history, that enunciates moments etched into a time and space making you sit back, wonder and introspect on the beauty and symmetry of the subjects being photographed.\nShe typically tries to leverage the direction, tone and intensity of natural light of the particular time of the day to make her photographs convey distinct stories or render an inimitable perspective to the viewer. A photograph of the same subject, when taken at different times, under different natural lighting conditions, may evoke altogether different emotions.\nThis is distinctly visible in several of her photographs where an otherwise mundane subject would suddenly spring into a rather lively moment. Her photograph of the Empire State Building titled \u201cSoaring High\u201d and photograph of Lake Kanawauke titled \u201cSymmetry in Nature\u201d won Special Recognition awards in the Cityscape and Landscape category in the Light Space & Time Global Art Competition.\nAside from being a photographer, Vidhya writes Haiku poetry.

The certificate was presented to Rolls-Royce by Trevor Woods, Certification Director, EASA, at Farnborough International Airshow.\nThe Trent 7000, the latest member of the successful Rolls-Royce Trent engine family, is the exclusive powerplant for the A330neo which enters service later this year. The aircraft has been a star attraction at this year\u2019s Farnborough Airshow, where it is made its first appearance.\nChris Cholerton, Rolls-Royce President \u2013 Civil Aerospace, said: \u201cThis is another great milestone in a period of unprecedented activity for us. Certifying and delivering the Trent 7000 engine further strengthens our position on the latest generation of aircraft and I would like to thank everyone at EASA and Airbus, as well as my own Rolls-Royce colleagues, who have worked so closely to get to this point. We now look forward to supporting Airbus and TAP Air Portugal as they prepare for the aircraft to enter into service later this year.\u201d\nThe Trent 7000 brings together more than 50 million flying hours of experience from the Trent 700, which powers the original version of the A330. It combines architecture from the Trent 1000 TEN \u2013 the latest version of the Trent 1000 engine \u2013 and the latest technology from the Trent XWB.\nThe 68-72,000lb thrust Trent 7000 will deliver a step change in performance and economics compared to the Trent 700. Benefitting from a bypass ratio double that of its predecessor, the Trent 7000 will improve specific fuel consumption by ten per cent, and will significantly reduce noise.\nLoading comments for Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 gets ticket to fly as first production engines arrive in Toulouse...",

        "raw_content": "Some Ike victims on road to recovery for holidays\nBy Adela Uchida\nSome families are on the road to recovery this holiday season. The devastation of Hurricane Ike is never far from the minds of people along the Gulf Coast. On Tuesday, some storm victims finally moved back into their homes more than a year after losing everything.\nIt's been a very long 15 months for Maria Huerta, breathing with the aid of an oxygen tank and awaiting a liver transplant when Hurricane Ike swept ashore and badly damaged her home. With help, she's home for the holidays.\nHuerta and her mother enjoyed the piney smell of a donated Christmas tree, their first experience in Huerta's newly renovated home. Fifteen months ago, it was a very different story after Huerta and her mother Maria Aguirre evacuated to Brownsville just before Ike hit.\n\"By the next day by the time we woke up over there the hurricane had hit and everything on TV, it was a total disaster,\" said Huerta.\nShe got some help from FEMA, but she and her mom had to move to an apartment in La Marque. Her health problems stopped her from getting her house fixed.\n\"I was sickly. I couldn't do this, I couldn't run around and talk to this and talk to that. I was at a standstill,\" said Huerta.\nThat's when the volunteers with Galveston County Restore and Rebuild came in A group made up of different organizations like Catholic Charities and Gulf Coast Interfaith. Their mission is to help people with low or moderate incomes get back in their homes.\n\"Homes have been restored by volunteers who've come in from all over the country and who donated funds and we're really welcoming them back to their homes for Christmas,\" said Joe Higgs of Gulf Coast Interfaith.\nIn fact, the group is getting 15 families back home this week alone, bringing their total since the storm to 155.\nAs for Huerta and her mother, it's good to be home for the holidays.\n\"I can't believe it. It's a miracle,\" said Maria Aguirre, Huerta's mother.\nHuerta agreed, saying, \"I'm ready to light up the tree and I'm ready to put furniture in and put on some Mexican food for Christmas.\"\nRestore and Rebuild told us that college students will volunteer on their spring break this coming March and will be painting the exteriors on the houses.",

        "raw_content": "Protests near the Sterlite Copper smelter in May. Photo source: Mksr2020, Creative Commons licence BY-SA 4.0\nLast month 13 people protesting the expansion of a copper smelter owned by Vedanta Limited were shot and killed by police in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. In continuous protests that began in February, hundreds of thousands of people have reportedly marched in the streets demanding permanent closure of the plant.\nVedanta Limited is part of Vedanta Resources, one of the world\u2019s largest natural resource conglomerates. It\u2019s financed by the Canadian government via Export Development Canada (EDC) despite being blacklisted on human rights and environmental grounds by several investors, including Norway\u2019s government pension fund.\nThe copper smelter in Tamil Nadu, operated by Vedanta Ltd.\u2019s subsidiary Sterlite Copper, has been repeatedly shut down for breaches of environmental regulations. Sterlite was slapped with a $16 million (USD) penalty in 2013 for failing to control pollution and for operating the plant without a permit. This spring, authorities once again withheld approval for the plant to operate, even as Sterlite moved ahead with its plan to turn the smelter into the world\u2019s largest located in an urban area.\nVedanta Ltd. faces a long list of grievances over similar misconduct throughout India, including illegal mining, continual breaches of environmental and worker safety rules, and failure to compensate hundreds of displaced families. In Zambia, Vedanta Resources\u2019 subsidiary KCM was found guilty of \u201cgross recklessness\u201d by Zambian courts for decades of severe water pollution.\nAs recently as 2016, the Norwegian pension fund noted Vedanta\u2019s ongoing failure to resolve such problems and opted to keep the company on its investment exclusion list. Yet Export Development Canada (EDC) saw fit to loan Vedanta Ltd. $100-250 million in August 2017. Just days after the deal was signed, a waste pond at one of the company\u2019s aluminum smelters collapsed, damaging about 100 acres of farmland.\nLast fall, when asked by a journalist how the company could possibly have passed EDC\u2019s environmental and human rights screening process, an EDC official stated that \u201cEDC\u2019s team was aware of the [Norwegian] fund\u2019s decision, but was also equally aware that a number of banks and third parties are noting improved performance on the part of Vedanta over the past year.\u201d\nClearly reforms are needed to make Canada\u2019s export credit agency legally accountable for the rigour of its screening practices. With Parliament\u2019s upcoming review of the Export Development Act, the government has the opportunity to do just that. It should establish an enforceable legal duty barring EDC from supporting companies associated with high risk of human rights abuse, ecological destruction or other serious harms.\nSee our letter to Export Development Canada about its dealings with Vedanta and the agency\u2019s reply.\nAbove Ground > News > Other News > Protestor deaths draw attention to years of misconduct by EDC client Vedanta",

        "raw_content": "How to read the Bible \u2014 What is it you don\u2019t want to hear?\n\u201cI felt I was late to come to the knowledge of Christ; studying the Bible appeared such a daunting task. In desperation, I asked the Lord to give me either a long life to have enough time to study the Bible well, or enough wisdom to grasp its hidden meanings. In his everlasting generosity, God gave me both.\u201d Fr. Matta el-Meskeen (Matthew the Poor)\nThe visit of the Holy Father to Egypt at the end of April to support and encourage the persecuted Coptic Orthodox, Catholics and other Christians of Egypt and to promote dialogue and peace between Christians and Muslims has reminded me of how much my own spiritual life has been enriched and deepened by a Coptic Orthodox spiritual writer, Fr. Matta el Meskeen.\nFr. Matthew (1919-2006) was a well-to-do pharmacist, who at the age of twenty-nine gave away all of his possessions and became a monk. After a few years in a desert monastery, he moved farther into the desert and lived for twelve years as a recluse and was a key player in the spiritual renewal of Coptic Orthodox monasticism in the 1970\u2019s and was the spiritual director of the then Coptic Orthodox Patriarch of Alexandria, Pope Shenuda.\nI first encountered him in the early 1980\u2019s in the pages of the Coptic Church Quarterly (which is, unfortunately, no longer being published). In 1984, a collection of some of his spiritual writings were published under the title of \u201cThe Communion of Love\u201d (St. Vladimir\u2019s Seminary Press). In the introduction to this book, the late Fr. Henri Nouwen wrote \u201cAll that Fr. Matta says is guided by the question: How do I make God the center of my life?\u201d\nThe twenty short chapters begin with an essay on how to read the Bible, followed by reflections on the birth of Jesus, his passion, death, resurrection, Pentecost and the Holy Spirit and the place of the Mother of God in the life of the Church. He concludes with his reflections on Christian unity.\nBut for me, over the past thirty years, it has been Fr. Matta\u2019s first essay on how to read the Bible that has been a great help in beginning to make Christ, particularly as he speaks in sacred scripture, the center of my life as a disciple.\nOne of the major goals of the Second Vatican Council has been to deepen and intensify our encounter and engagement with the Word of God as revealed to us in sacred scripture. As noted in the Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation Dei Verbum: \u201c\u2026 such is the force and power of the Word of God that it can serve the Church as her support and vigor, and the children of the Church as strength for their faith, food for the soul, and a pure and lasting font of spiritual life.\u201d (21.DV)\nIn the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy Sacrosanctum Concilium, the Council Fathers directed that \u201cThe treasures of the Bible are to be opened up more lavishly so that a richer fare may be provided for the faithful at the table of God\u2019s Word.\u201d (51 SC)\nLike many Catholics after the Second Vatican Council, the \u201cricher fare provided \u2026 at the table of God\u2019s Word\u201d was an encouragement to learn more about sacred scripture. But academic knowledge about the sacred texts and their history, context and theology was just the first (if vitally necessary) step in being drawn more deeply into God\u2019s Word so that it could begin to become for me \u201cstrength for [my] faith, food for the soul, and a pure and lasting font of spiritual life.\u201d\nFr. Matta in his teaching \u201cHow to Read the Bible,\u201d notes that in the scriptures, God is speaking to each one of us personally. But he cautions: \u201cTake heed how you hear the Gospel. It seems that the Lord wants to say that we hear with our hearts rather than our ears, and that the inner life affects the word of God, either killing it, or making it live and thrive.\u201d\nThus, listening to the voice of God in scripture is difficult, not because his words are somehow obscure or hard to grasp but because we are disposed to resist them.\nHe writes: \u201cIf you ask, \u2018How can I acquire an ear that can hear the voice of God?\u2019\u201d I would answer, \u201cPrepare yourself first to receive His demands and requests and directions, and be ready in your heart to carry them out, no matter what the cost. Immediately you will have an ear that hears the voice of Almighty God.\u201d\nWhat a starting place for listening and responding to the Word of God! What is it that I don\u2019t want to hear? What in God\u2019s word, especially in the commands and teaching of Jesus, do I, in the hidden depths of my heart, refuse to obey? What are the attitudes and values, contrary to the gospel, that I hold onto which prevent the Divine Word from taking root in my life?\nIn order for the word to take root in my heart, I must root out the disobedience to Jesus\u2019 command to love God and love my neighbor. As a sinner, I shut the ears of my heart to the commands that the Lord is speaking to me in the sacred text because I will have to die to my own will and conform myself and my actions to God\u2019s will.\nFr. Matta proposes that \u201cNo one can hear the voice of the Son of God except [the one] who opens his heart and mind to understand his language, whose words and tones are made of love, tenderness, kindness and fatherly care, no matter how cruel life and\nits circumstances may appear to be.\u201d\nFortunately, I don\u2019t have to already be a saint in order for God\u2019s word to abide in my heart. Just the opposite! Instead, I need in humility and trust to confront my inner resistance to God\u2019s will, ask God to have mercy on me, a sinner, and for the grace to learn how to speak in his language and not my own.\nI love how he concludes his teaching on how to read the Bible. After describing the beautiful and reverent rites surrounding the proclamation of the Gospel in the Mass, he writes:\n\u201cHe who has tasted the power of the Gospel in his life does not consider this excessive, but does even more to show his veneration.\nThere are those who always fast to read the Gospel.\nThere are those who, when they read the Gospel alone, always kneel.\nThere are those who always read it with weeping and tears.\nGod\u2019s directions to us are most often given through the reading and hearing of the Gospel, when we are in a state of humility and when we pray with an open heart.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Soon after the snow retreats from Alaskan roads, bicyclists in sleek, colorful, body-hugging outfits begin zipping along with cars, pickups, and the earliest of what will become the summer profusion of motorhomes. Today\u2019s cyclists had predecessors dating back well over a century. Terrence Cole, Professor of History at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, described some early bicycling in Alaska in the following Fairbanks Daily News-Miner article originally published on May 1, 1978.\nMan with a bicycle on the dock at Yakutat, Alaska, circa 1920. ASL-P55-293, Fhoki Kayamori Photographs, Alaska State Library Historical Collections.\nThough some people think of the bicycle as a toy, like a skateboard or a Frisbee, in the 1890s the two-wheeler was the technological wonder of the day.\nIn magazines there were serious scientific articles about why bicycles would replace the horse, and miiltary experts like General A. W. Greely, the Arctic explorer for whom Fort Greely is named, thought that in the future, high-speed Army communications would be carried long distances by men on bicycles.\nIn Alaska during the gold rush, the people who sold a special model called the \u201cKlondike Bicycle\u201d claimed it was the answer to every miner\u2019s prayer. On this wonderful bike each man could carry his necessary 1,000 pounds of supplies 500 miles from the Chilkoot Pass to the goldfields with ease and comfort.\nTreadwell Miners, 1908. ASL-P40-26, Juliene Nick Dexter Photograph Collection, Alaska State Library-Historical Collections.\nAs one guidebook explained, \u201cThe Klondike Bicycle is specially designed to carry freight and is in reality a four-wheeled vehicles and a bicycle combined. It is built very strongly and weighs about 50 pounds. The tires are of solid rubber, one and a half inches in diameter. The frame is ordinary diamond, or steel tubing, built however more for strength than appearance, and wound with rawhide, shrunk on, to enable the miners to handle it with comfort in low temperatures.\u201d\nThe bicycles had two special 14-inch retractable wheels on which a miner could load a quarter-ton, and \u201cdrag it on four-wheels 10 miles or so. Then the rider will fold up the side wheels, ride it back as a bicycle, and bring on the rest of his load.\u201d\nThere are several amazing accounts of wheelmen riding down the Yukon River or up the Valdez Trail to Fairbanks. Last February, Alaska Magazine ran a story by Max Hirshberg about his bicycle trip down the Yukon in 1900, which he wrote in the late 1950s so his grandchildren would know the true story of his adventure. But he was not the only one who stampeded to Nome in 1900 on a bicycle seat.\nEd Jesson was hunting caribou near Dawson City in 1900 when he decided to join the rush to Nome. Ed bought a \u201cwheel,\u201d as bicycles were generally called then, from a man who had just ridden it in from the coast. When Ed\u2019s brother heard the news he couldn\u2019t believe it. Ed described what happened in his diary.\n\u201cWhat the h___ are you going to do the wheel, he asked. Going to Nome, I said. He called Harry Smith and John Nelson, proprietors of the hotel, and some other oldtimers. He said this brother of mine is going to try to go to Nome on a bicycle. He\u2019s crazy, they all said. We will have to put him on the woodpile until he comes out of it.\u201d\nAfter practicing for a few days in Dawson and learning to keep his front wheel in a sled track, Ed took off down river. One day the temperature was down to 48 below. His rubber tires were frozen hard and stiff.\nHe wrote in his diary, \u201cThe oil in the bearings was frozen. I could scarcely ride it and my nose was freezing and I had to hold the handlebars with both hands, not being able to ride yet with one hand and rub my nose with the other.\u201d\nAll the way down the Yukon people thought Ed was crazy for riding a wheel, especially since he owned a good dog team, but he said he didn\u2019t have to cook dog food for the bicycle at night, and on good days he could cover 100 miles.\nMany of the old-timer miners and Indians on the Yukon had never seen a bicycle before, and Ed was always showing how it worked.\nAfter more than a month on the trail, Ed pulled into Nome, and except for the bruises he had from constantly falling down, he and the bike were in good shape.",

The prospective shipping of coal through Port Alberni inherently brings unique opportunities and challenges as well as questions that must be answered by the proponent to satisfy the appropriate regulatory bodies, regardless of the potential benefits. The Port Authority is extremely interested in the proponent\u2019s answers to these issues since the project could potentially impact the Port\u2019s operations and future opportunities in other parts of its business.\nThe Port\u2019s attention to this project is the same as it is with any other current or prospective client that is interested in using its facilities. It is the Port\u2019s mandate to support shipping of goods, in the interest of Canada, by negotiating, in good faith, arrangements for producers to ship their goods from Port facilities. If the provincial and federal ministers rule that the coal project, which includes its transportation and shipping plans, is acceptable, then the Port is duty-bound to negotiate use of its terminals with the proponent.\nIn order to accommodate general customer needs the Port does make improvements to its facilities from time to time, such as the recent installation of new 75-tonne pull bollards to support larger lumber-shipping vessels calling at berth 3. To be clear, however, with respect to the Raven project the Port is not making direct investments in the actual facility upgrades with the possible exception of some site preparation and berthing modifications. The proposed coal project facilities that have been outlined to date by the proponent will be required to be funded by the proponent. The Port will negotiate terms of a lease on Port property with the proponent to conduct its lawful operations if all aspects of the project pass the regulatory tests.\n\u201cThe Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA) is playing an enhanced role in the environmental assessment of this project as it will perform the duties and functions of the responsible authority in relation to this project until the submission of the comprehensive study report to the Minister of the Environment.\u201d The reason it is doing this is because \u201cFisheries and Oceans Canada may issue a permit or license under subsection 35(2) of the Fisheries Act and the Port Alberni Port Authority may provide federal lands for the purpose of enabling this project to be carried out.\u201d (from CEAA Compliance Coal Project webpage)\nThe Port Alberni Port Authority will continue to objectively study all the facts presented about the project; respect and contribute to the process as requested; and, if the time comes, examine a prospective business arrangement with the proponent to fulfill its mandate of supporting shipping interests on behalf of the country\u2019s international trading position.",

        "raw_content": "It is America\u2019s longest war, costing huge amounts of \u201cblood and treasure\u201d as US leaders claim. Yet, the signs are that Washington is finally accepting an historic defeat in Afghanistan comparable to the ignominious Vietnam War.\nIntensive negotiations between American officials and Taliban insurgents have produced the \u201cbiggest tangible step\u201d towards ending the nearly 18-year war in Afghanistan, according to the New York Times.\nMore talks are scheduled in the coming weeks to firm up details, but already it is reported that the US is to withdraw its remaining 14,000 troops from the Central Asian country over the next year without any guarantees of reciprocation by the enemy.\nThat unilateral pullout is not yet officially admitted by Washington, but analysts believe the US has tacitly accepted the long-held demand by the Taliban for foreign troops to get out.\nAt the height of the war, US forces numbered up to 100,000 personnel. The remnant American military therefore have no way of countering the growing insurgency. Even with an additional 8,000 NATO troops and thousands of private contractors also present in Afghanistan supporting the US-backed government in Kabul, the sordid game is up.\nZalmay Khalilzad, US Special Representative for Afghanistan Reconciliation, during the latest round of talks held in Doha, Qatar, sought to portray an \u201cagreed framework for a peace deal\u201d being contingent on the Taliban delivering on three items: a ceasefire; entering into negotiations with the government in Kabul; and a vow to never allow Afghanistan to become a haven for terror groups.\nBut media reports cite Taliban officials as giving no firm commitment to those US demands, while it appears Washington has accepted its troops are to be repatriated regardless. In other words, the American side is looking for a face-saving, apparent bilateral \u201cdeal\u201d when the reality is Washington knows its war is over.\nRyan Crocker, a former US ambassador to Afghanistan, puts it acerbically. Washington is only polishing the optics, while finessing \u201cthe terms of surrender.\u201d\nHe compares the American withdrawal from Afghanistan to the disorderly retreat and defeat that US forces incurred at the end of the Vietnam War in the mid-1970s. \u201cThen, as now, it was clear that by going to the table we were surrendering; we are just negotiating the terms of our surrender,\u201d opined Crocker in the Washington Post.\nThe defeat of US military might in Indochina gave rise to the Vietnam Syndrome which entailed a grave loss in national confidence and international standing. The war in Afghanistan has already exceeded the duration of the Vietnam debacle by nearly eight years. While the death toll among American forces is a lot less, the financial cost of Afghanistan is potentially ruinous. Up to $2 trillion of taxpayer money is estimated to have been poured into waging war in that country, yet the strategic achievements are arguably zero.\nNot only that, but the launching of \u201cOperation Enduring Freedom\u201d in October 2001 by the GW Bush administration was the catalyst for a global so-called \u201cwar on terror\u201d which engulfed several countries. The total financial cost for those wars is reckoned to be around $5 trillion \u2013 or nearly a quarter of America\u2019s spiraling national debt.\nIn cost of human lives, the Afghan war and its derivative \u201canti-terror\u201d operations elsewhere have resulted in millions of deaths and casualties, millions of refugees and the decimation of whole nations, which have further spawned conflict and the spread of terrorism. Suicide rates and pathological self-destruction among US veterans who served in Afghanistan (and Iraq) are off the charts and will have long-term detriment on American society for generations to come.\nThe Afghan Syndrome is going to haunt the US for decades in the same way the Vietnam forerunner did.\nWhat\u2019s more despicable is the utter waste and futility. When Bush ordered the troops into Afghanistan at the end of 2001, it was supposed to be in revenge for the terror attacks on the US on September 11. Never mind that the evidence linking those attacks to Afghanistan was tenuous at best.\nThe Taliban regime, which had been in power from 1996, was toppled by the US. But three presidents later, the Taliban now are reckoned to control over half the territory in Afghanistan, and can carry out deadly attacks on US-backed local forces seemingly at will on a daily basis, including in the capital Kabul.\nNow it seems only a matter of time until the Taliban will be back in power with the US and allied NATO forces gone.\nRichard Haass, a former senior US State Department planner, commented: \u201cThe Taliban have concluded that it is only a matter of time before the United States grows weary of stationing troops in a far-off country and spending $45 billion a year on a war that cannot be won\u2026 they have little need to compromise.\u201d\nThe irony is that the Taliban grew out of the tribal militants that the US cultivated and armed to the teeth at the end of the 1970s when Afghanistan was governed by a Soviet-backed administration.\nThe American policy was gleefully calculated in Washington to give the \u201cSoviets their Vietnam.\u201d The proxy war was indeed a heavy loss for the Soviet Union, but in the longer-term it looks like Uncle Sam ended up getting another Vietnam in terms of creating the longest war ever for Washington, the unfolding ignominious defeat and the global blowback from Islamist terrorism it engendered.\nWashington may be pretending it has reached a \u201cframework deal for peace\u201d in Afghanistan. But the brutal truth is Washington has lost another epic war.\nThe Taliban have always maintained they are not going to negotiate with the US-backed administration in Kabul, headed by President Ashraf Ghani. Like his predecessor, Hamid Karzai, the Taliban view Ghani and his government as a corrupt, venal puppet of the Americans.\nThe fact that the US sidelined the Kabul regime by talking directly with the Taliban is a crucial concession by Washington. By doing so, the US is effectively admitting that the insurgents are in the driving seat. All the talk out of Washington about supporting \u201cintra-Afghani dialogue\u201d and finding a \u201ccomprehensive peace settlement\u201d is window-dressing rhetoric.\nUS President Donald Trump last month ordered about half of the American troops in Afghanistan \u2013 some 7,000 \u2013 to withdraw. Trump is said to be growing impatient with the huge financial drain of the never-ending war. His order to pull out forces before the latest round of negotiations in Qatar will have been taken by the Taliban as further proof the Americans know they are beaten.\nAstoundingly, prominent voices in Washington are arguing that, in spite of the human calamity and cost of Afghanistan, US troops should remain there indefinitely. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell wants to pass legislation forbidding a withdrawal. The Washington Post\u2019s editorial board \u2013 which reflects the foreign policy establishment view \u2013 admonished: \u201cThe Trump administration\u2019s tentative deal with the Taliban could return Afghanistan to chaos.\u201d\n\u201cReturn to chaos\u201d?\nAfghanistan \u2013 known as the Graveyard of Empires \u2013 from centuries of defeating great powers is showing that the Americans are up their necks in chaos.\nJanuary 30, 2019 - Posted by\taletho | Illegal Occupation, Militarism\t| Afghanistan, NATO, United States\nThis is good news. Let\u2019s hope the withdrawal proceeds without any glitches.\n\u201cthe American side is looking for a face-saving, apparent bilateral \u201cdeal\u201d when the reality is Washington knows its war is over\u201d.\nI think the American President called America\u2019s retreat from Vietnam, \u201can honourable withdrawal\u201d\u2026\u2026\u2026\nThey don\u2019t call Afghanistan \u201cThe Graveyard of Empires\u201d for no good reason.\n\u201cHistory has shown, there are NO invincible Armies\u201d\u2026\u2026Joseph Stalin.\n\u201cIts not the size of the Dog in the fight, it\u2019s the size of the fight in the dog\u201d\u2026\u2026Mark Twain.\nThe USA better give Iran a miss.

In dismissing the motion, Marrocco J. said:\nRule 30.03(2) of the Rules of Civil Procedure provides that the affidavit of documents shall list and describe all documents relevant to any matter in issue in the action that are in a party\u2019s \u201cpossession control or power\u2026\u201d. In this case, the respondent\u2019s hard drives were seized under an Anton Piller order. They were imaged and the imaged hard drives were made available to the plaintiff. The plaintiff can have access to the imaged hard drives at any time. Therefore, it seems to me that the imaged hard drives are within the power, if not also the possession and control of the plaintiff. Therefore, pursuant to Rule 30.03(2), the plaintiff is obliged to review the documents on the imaged hard drives when preparing its affidavit of documents.\nMarrocco J. did note that the respondent had not made any claim of privilege in records contained on the hard drives.\nBell ExpressVu Limited Partnership v.

        "raw_content": "Case Report \u2013 Personal e-mails not subject to FOI legislation\nOn December 13th, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice \u2013 Divisional Court held that employee personal e-mails stored on government e-mail servers are not subject to provincial FOI legislation.\nThe Court read \u201ccustody or control\u201d purposely and narrowly. It held that providing access to personal e-mails does not advance the purpose of FOI legislation \u2013 advancing public participation in the democratic process.\nThe Court\u2019s reasoning is very broad. The only atypical fact that it relied upon was that the e-mails in question were stored in a separate folder rather than intermingled with e-mails related to governmental affairs. The Court minimized the significant of this fact as follows:\nThat said, it does not follow that personal emails not filed in a separate folder (as was the case here) are necessarily subject to the operation of the Act. Much will depend on the individual circumstances of each case, but generally speaking, I would expect very few employee emails that are personal in nature and unrelated to government affairs to be subject to legislation merely because they were sent or received on the email server of an institution subject to the Act.\nImportantly, the decision does not recognize a privacy right in personal e-mails or preclude institutions from auditing or inspecting personal e-mails. The Court makes relatively clear that its decision does not rest on employees\u2019 privacy interest in the content of their e-mails.\nCopy below circulated by Heenan Blaikie.

In between sets, Black Eyed Peas surprisingly popped up on stage to speak on the importance of mental health and the unfortunate voids within our society.\nThis aligned perfectly with their latest single, \u201cRing The Alarm.\u201d\n\u201cWe have this new song that came out...called \u2018Ring the Alarm.\u2019\u201d will.i.am stated. \u201cIt touches on a lot of things happening in society. Whether you\u2019re in and out of juvenile hall, or correctional facilities, whether you\u2019re in and out of mental facilities, it seems as if these facilities that are designed to correct are just handing out pills and not providing opportunities for those folks.\n\"There\u2019s no jobs for them to go to, or in and out of mental health and are prescribed some concoction to keep them in zombie mode,\" will.i.am continued. \"I know this for a fact from folks that are in my family, and the facilities are not really doing their part to help correct.\u201d\nAfter playing the record for the people, he continued, \u201cIt\u2019s like an almost 6-minute song. Because why not? Why not have something lengthy? Last time I checked, I like binge-watching freaking Stranger Things and Game of Thrones. And these one-minute Snap content, beat, zombie-mode s##t, we didn\u2019t want to be a part of that. We just want to contribute things and document the things that are hitting us in the heart, things that we care about. AND, you know, we know how to make that kind of music. Like really well.

In particular I liked the sleazy host of the show that catapaults Jamal to fame.\nWhat bugs me is when people say that it\u2019s this huge revolutionary movie because it didn\u2019t really feel that way to me. It portrayed some things I never knew, sure, the dark underbelly of a culture that I\u2019m not familiar with, but I\u2019ve heard people say that it\u2019s the best film ever made and that\u2019s just not the case.\nI had a similar experience with No Country for Old Men and remember being really stoked to watch it and being really let-down by it and as a result I wasn\u2019t really stoked to watch Slumdog and I think I actually appreciated the movie more knowing it probably wasn\u2019t going to be as glorious as the reviews had made it out to be.\nIt was a good way to kill a few hours and I liked it, but didn\u2019t appreciate when the nitty-gritty of the film was subsequently ruined by a huge choreographed upbeat dance number featuring the whole cast to an Indian version of that annoyingly catchy Pussycat Dolls song.\nYou know which one I mean.\nDriving 405 past midnight\nEnjoy your Sunday darlings.\nIt really seems like BTA are taking over Chateau 100, since last night marked the housewarming of Krash and Jocelyn, as well as the much-anticipated Mustache Party.\nFirst guests, we take our Mustaching very seriously.\nMustaches came on and off periodically, double-sided tape doesn't stick to skin as well as you'd hope.

        "raw_content": "\u00bb2014 Film Reviews\u00bbDawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014)\nPosted by amateurcinefile on July 15, 2014 in 2014 Film Reviews\nTen years after a deadly pandemic devastated the world population, only small factions of societies still remain. During an exploratory search for an abandoned hydroelectric dam, a group human survivors stumble upon a flourishing community of highly intelligent primates that have taken residence among the forests that now surround the decimated city of San Francisco. Desperate for the electricity that could save their dying community, human leader Malcolm attempts to befriend the apes that reside on the land they are searching. Despite brokering a fragile peace, harmony and understanding between these two societies is under constant threat by contentious fear and suspicion that permeates throughout both communities.\nIn 2011, director Rupert Wyatt shocked Hollywood and many film fans with his poignant and deeply moving Rise of the Planet of the Apes. His notable efforts reinvigorated a franchise that had been almost completely decimated by the utter debacle of Tim Burton\u2019s 2001 blunder. New director Matt Reeves has done an admirable job building on success and feel of Rise, creating an even more expressive and emotionally complex story. The film\u2019s human protagonist, Malcolm, is notably brought to the screen by Australian star Jason Clarke. An actor since the mid 90s, the 45-year-old Clarke has recently found critical and professional success in films such as Zero Dark Thirty, The Great Gatsby, and the Depression-era crime drama Lawless. As one of the commanders of the San Francisco population of survivors, Clarke adeptly captures the awed compassion of a man who desperately wants peace between humans and apes. Clarke\u2019s interactions with primate leader Caesar are flawlessly realistic. Never did I question the verisimilitude of their interactions together on screen, which another testament to the dexterity and command he brought to his performance.\nThe film\u2019s pervasive use of computer-generated images (CGI) offers a perfect example of how remarkably far the art form has come and unfortunately how far it still has to go. There were unsuccessful moments during the movie where my suspension of disbelief was interrupted, most notably during a scene involving a grizzly bear attack and also during more motion intensive action sequences including scenes involving the apes swinging from tree branches. I also couldn\u2019t help, despite the dire circumstances of the moment it was depicting, but chuckle at the unintended humor of seeing a chimpanzee riding bareback on a horse while double fisting automatic machine guns. It reminded me of something you\u2019d see in an outrageous 1970s grindhouse film. However, praise must also be assigned to the CGI artists and technicians for their amazing advancements in the ability to capture the most subtle of facial expressions offered by the film actors playing these unusual characters. We distinctly see the pain, confusion, and delight these creatures express, offering an extra level of affection and understanding to their plight that the previous films in this franchise rarely offered. It is this connection that makes these last two installments feel so unexpectedly gratifying.\nThe gifted leader of this computer-generated primate population is motion-capture king Andy Serkis. Serkis has been on the front line of this blossoming sub-genre of acting, offering his unparalleled talents to create such memorable characters as Gollum/Smeagol in the Lord of the Rings trilogy and Kong in Peter Jackson\u2019s 2005 adaptation of King Kong. As the simian leader Caesar, Serkis skillfully captures the confounding emotions of a highly intelligent creature who is deeply conflicted by his love for humans and his allegiance with his fellow primates. He also manages to meticulously demonstrate the unique mannerisms of an animal whose newly found intelligences still at times awkwardly clash with his anthropoidal instincts. For years, fans of Serkis\u2019 work have been begging for the Academy to recognize his unrivaled talents as a motion-capture pioneer with an Academy Award nomination. While his contributions to each of his legendary characters are undeniable, including here with Caesar, what makes it hard to reward him for his acting talents is it is truly difficult to decipher where Serkis ends and the CGI artists begin. Because of that, I honestly can\u2019t imagine him ever being awarded an acting nomination. However, I can foresee him one day possibly receiving an honorary Oscar for prodigious contributions to this emerging faction of the industry.\nReading over a few of the other reviews for the film, I wish I could be so enthusiastically reverent about the movie, but unfortunately there were a few minor miscues that kept it from reaching the levels of true greatness others have professed. On top of moments where the CGI stumbled slightly, the film\u2019s message of peace and understanding can at times feel a bit heavy-handed, and its awkward depiction some of the secondary human characters bordered on caricature. Overall however, thanks to the notable efforts of Serkis and Clarke, I was pleased to discover that Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is a surprisingly mature and thought provoking sci-fi drama that manages to exceed the accomplished efforts of its predecessor.-JL\nTags: Andy Serkis, Jason Clarke, Matt Reeves, Rupert Wyatt Permalink\nTop 6 Lists: Con-Artists \u2192\n2 comments on \u201cDawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014)\u201d\nLoretta Bair July 16, 2014 at 8:31 am\tReply\nI enjoyed the movie but I have loved all of them!

        "raw_content": "8 Home Design Tips to Help You Start Designing Your New Home\nTags: home design, interior design, moving, new home\nMy husband and I are getting ready to buy our first home together, so of course, I\u2019ve been researching the best way to start designing your new home. I\u2019m so excited to find a place we can make our own. We can paint it the way we want. If we want to tear down a wall, we can do it. It\u2019s a freedom that I\u2019ve never known. However, I know all too well that moving into a new home is always stressful. First, you need to find the home, then you put in an offer, and then BAM, it all happens. Movers, packing, packing, the actual move itself, storage, and then unpacking. With everything going on, it\u2019s easy to get lost in the shuffle and miss out on an opportunity to design the home of your dreams. That\u2019s why I wanted to look up easy, but important tips for both my husband and I to keep in mind while we\u2019re moving. I know if we move into a home with a design in mind, we\u2019ll be much more successful in discovering our dream home.\nDesigning Your New Home\nStart with your color scheme\nThis is where designing your new home all starts: your color scheme. Experts recommend starting by choosing a theme for your entire home. From there you break down the theme room by room. You can have rooms that are more dramatic than others, but ultimately this helps you plan and strategize on how the designs will flow together. Most likely, you\u2019ll want a lighter, more neutral color for larger corridors and connecting rooms. However, feel free to go bold with your painting concepts. There are a lot of articles out there that go back and forth between bold and neutral color schemes. In the end, it\u2019s all about what you want. No matter what, careful planning in the beginning will help you get there. Take time to play around with colors and different color schemes with this handy color wheel tool by Adobe. You can uncover different complementary color ideas and even analogous color families that you may want to bring into your house.\nI think this is the best place to start, especially when you\u2019re moving somewhere new. If time permits, I\u2019d like to have our new house painted even before we move in. I think the ease of doing this without furniture, boxes, or even cats in the way will be totally worth it.\nUse statement pieces appropriately and create a focal point\nYour statement piece is the item that eyes are drawn to immediately upon entering a room. Typically that item is front and center and directly across the entrance. Make sure your focal piece is designed with the color scheme in mind as well as the scale of the room. While we\u2019ve been renting, most of our focal pieces will be our paintings we\u2019ve collected from various countries we\u2019ve visited together. However, now that we\u2019ll be moving into a bigger space and a real home, we can finally make use of the focal pieces we\u2019ve been collecting and saving over the years. We\u2019ve been keeping antiques and furniture we\u2019ve received from family members in our storage space for a few years. We haven\u2019t had space for any of the items, but I\u2019m so excited to be able to bring them home in a few short months!\nMirrors are your friend.\nMirrors are one of the easiest ways to incorporate positive design elements into your home. They add scale, can warm up an entire room, and make the entire room seem brighter. They make smaller spaces look more open and are easy to incorporate into any style. One word of advice when working with mirrors: be careful where you hang them because you want them to reflect the best parts of your home.\nIt\u2019s all about the Scale\nScale is so important when designing your new home. There are several things to consider when organizing your items in your new home. You must first relate everything to the scale of the room. You will need to give your items \u201cbreathing room\u201d, meaning you don\u2019t want everything to be cramped. Additionally, it\u2019s also important to consider the human factor of scale. You want to place paintings at an appropriate height, on an appropriately scaled wall. Did I lose you there? I know, it\u2019s a lot to take in. For knick-knacks and other d\u00e9cor items on the wall or shelving, you can vary the scale to make things more interesting. This article on \u201cScale & Proportion in Interior Design\u201d outlines this in even more detail. This is one of the more important and less practiced elements of designing your home, so make sure to do your homework!\nDo what you can to make your room look taller\nYou want your rooms to feel as open and breezy as possible. This can be achieved by making the room itself feel taller by utilizing handy tricks. Incorporating shorter furniture (like in the picture to the right) or strategic curtain placement can accomplish this nicely. You can also paint your ceiling a lighter color to give the feeling of height in a room. There are a variety of tips on how to make the room look taller when you start designing your new home, but ultimately what works will vary depending on the room\u2019s size and constructions. Take the time to carefully evaluate your room to find the best solutions.\nAdd in Texture\nTexture makes your design more interesting and offers a subtle contrast that most rooms crave. Texture works well in all designs but is particularly important when you\u2019re working with a more neutral pallet. Texture can be easily added in with a rug, as shown in the picture. Or you could add texture through a piece of art, drapery, or even with something like wicker furniture.\nInclude \u201clanding spaces\u201d\nThis is one element I think is far too overlooked when you\u2019re designing your new home. You will obviously be living in the space you are designing. Be smart and build in areas for your day to day life. Add clean spaces to put keys, mail, your coats, and shoes. For example, my husband likes to take his socks off and leave them everywhere. Hello sock-basket.\nTie it together & create a harmony\nThere needs to be some common element that ties everything together. It can be a color, shape, or even a theme. While contrast is important, you don\u2019t want to be going in so many different directions that you end up with a big mess. You also don\u2019t have to buy everything at once. Live with some of your items and build it together slowly. This will also help you manage your budget. My husband and I have eclectic pieces that we\u2019ve inherited or picked up in our travels. Nothing really goes together, but from my research, all you really need is one sure-fire, amazing piece or color to tie it together. This is going to be the trickiest part when you start designing your new home, but there are so many incredible resources available. My personal favorite is going on Pinterest and seeing what other people have put together. Another favorite of mine is Dwelling Gawker. The more time you spend researching and finding how to tie it all together, the more successful you\u2019ll be!",

        "title": "American Indians in Children's Literature (AICL): SWEET HOME ALASKA by Carole Estby Dagg",
        "raw_content": "Earlier this year, several people wrote to ask me about Carole Estby Dagg's Sweet Home Alaska, a story set in Alaska, in 1934, about the Matanuska Colony (also called the Palmer Colony). The map to the right shows you where the colony was.\nPublished by Penguin Random House (one of the Big Five publishers in the U.S.), Dagg's book came out in February of 2016. It is pitched at middle grade children.\nHere's the synopsis for Sweet Home Alaska:\nThis exciting pioneering story, based on actual events, introduces readers to a fascinating chapter in American history, when FDR set up a New Deal colony in Alaska to give loans and land to families struggling during the Great Depression.\nTerpsichore can\u2019t wait to follow in Laura Ingalls Wilder\u2019s footsteps . . . now she just has to convince her mom. It\u2019s 1934, and times are tough for their family. To make a fresh start, Terpsichore\u2019s father signs up for President Roosevelt\u2019s Palmer Colony project, uprooting them from Wisconsin to become pioneers in Alaska. Their new home is a bit of a shock\u2014it\u2019s a town still under construction in the middle of the wilderness, where the residents live in tents and share a community outhouse. But Terpsichore\u2019s not about to let first impressions get in the way of this grand adventure. Tackling its many unique challenges with her can-do attitude, she starts making things happen to make Alaska seem more like home. Soon, she and her family are able to start settling in and enjoying their new surroundings\u2014everyone except her mother, that is. So, in order to stay, Terpsichore hatches a plan to convince her that it\u2019s a wonderful\u2014and civilized\u2014place to live . . . a plan that\u2019s going to take all the love, energy, and Farmer Boy expertise Terpsichore can muster.\nAs the synopsis indicates, the story is based on fact. President Roosevelt did create the Palmer Colony project for people to make a fresh start. The synopsis tells us that Dagg's story an \"exciting pioneering\" one, but anytime I see \"pioneering\" in the context of stories like this, I wonder about the people whose lands were being made available to those \"pioneers.\"\nIn her author's note, Dagg writes (p. 290):\nA notable omission in accounts I read of the Palmer Colony was reference to the people who were in Alaska for thousands of years before the colonists: the various Eskimo, Aleut, Athabaskan, and other Indian tribes. Since I married into a part-Native family, I was concerned about this omission, but finally decided not to create contacts with Native peoples if the colonists themselves did not mention them. However, I hope as many readers as possible will visit the Anchorage Museum to learn more about the original colonists of Alaska.\nI'm curious about the \"part-Native family.\" Are the people she's referring to as \"part-Native\" citizens of their tribal nation? Generally used, \"part Native\" means that someone in your ancestry was, or is, a Native person from a specific tribal nation. Quite often, though, people who use \"part-Native\" aren't aware that stating a Native identity goes hand-in-hand with being a citizen of that nation. This citizenship is not about being \"part\" Native. If you're a tribal citizen, you're a tribal citizen, period.\nI'm uneasy with the phrase \"the original colonists of Alaska.\" Alaska Natives were not \"original colonists.\" They are the first peoples of that land. Their homelands were colonized--in this case--by the families who were part of this federal project. I anticipate some people will think that I'm being hypercritical in pointing to \"original colonists\" as problematic, but it is important that we pay attention to words and what they convey. If we were to accept Dagg's description of Aleut, Athabaskan, and other Indian tribes as \"original colonists\" we start down a slope that says it wasn't their homeland from the start. That it belonged to... nobody, and therefore, any rights they have to that land can be dismissed.\nAnd, Dagg's suggestion that readers visit the Anchorage Museum... It makes me wonder if she had Native readers in mind. She was probably thinking of white kids.\nAn appropriate aside: Not long ago I read a spot-on comic by Ricardo Cat\u00e9 of Kewa (Santo Domingo) Pueblo. He has been doing Without Reservations for several years. The one I'm thinking of is of a Native kid in a museum asking something like \"what kind of a field trip is this?! We have all this stuff at home.\" Biting, and brilliant, too.\nBack to Dagg's book...\nWho were the \"pioneers\" involved with the Palmer Project? People who were living in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota in 1934. The Palmer Museum has this info:\nTo be chosen from the states of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota, only \"honest-to-God\" farmers, couples between the ages of 25 and 40 with Scandinavian backgrounds would be considered. In exchange for a $3,000, 30-year loan, each family would be given a 40-acre tract of land, a house, a barn, a well, and an out-building. Those families that chose tracts with poor soil conditions and hilly landscape were given 80 acres. In all 203 families were chosen for the colony.\nDagg's character, Trip (short for Terpsichore), and her family are one of those families. When Dagg and her sisters learn about the plan to move there, here's what they say (p. 5)\n\u201cI'm not living in an igloo!\" That was Cally, shaking her head in horror, which made her ringlets bob. \u201cI\u2019m not eating whale blubber!\u201d That was Polly. Her ringlets bobbed too.\nThey are, in short, putting forth information they hold about Alaska Native homes and foods, and, they're rejecting it. That passage tells us that, although Dagg chose not to create Native people for her characters to interact with, she didn't leave Native peoples out altogether. She introduced stereotypes, but left them intact. That was an opportunity for her to push back on them, but she didn't. Indeed, if she'd had Native peoples in mind as she developed this book, she could have created Native characters who could, in fact, push back on the information that Cally and Polly have in their heads. What she did do, is have Trip's dad say that they're not going to the Arctic Circle, and that the Matanuska Valley is much like northern Wisconsin. This, I assume, is sufficient to tell the girls that they won't be living in an igloo or eating whale blubber, but it leaves exotic ideas about Alaska Natives intact.\nActually getting to Alaska means getting there by ship. As they're boarding, someone sings a song Trip recognizes, but they change the lyrics (p. 44):\nTerpsichore recognized the tune. It was Gene Autry\u2019s version of \u201cSpringtime in the Rockies,\u201d but they had changed the words. Terpsichore laughed along with the crowd at the new words: \u201cWhen it\u2019s springtime in Alaska and it\u2019s ninety-nine below . . . Where the berries grow like pumpkins and a cabbage fills a truck . . . We want to make a new start somewhere without delay. So, here we are, Alaska, AND WE HAVE COME TO STAY!\u201d\nCurious about the song, I looked it up and so far didn't find those lyrics. The first line is easy to find but the rest, I think, is Dagg's own writing. Reading the words \"we have come to stay\" may seem jovial and innocuous to some, but to me, they're pretty aggressive. Music is a big part of Sweet Home Alaska. The family has a tough go of it once they're there, but at the end, they sing \"Home Sweet Home.\" They're there to stay. Again, this may seem innocuous, but ending with that song tells readers that, indeed, they were there \"TO STAY.\"\nThough a lot of people are going to love Dagg's book and its echoes of Little House, I think it is worse than Little House because it was written in the last few years. Dagg's editor is Nancy Paulsen. The creation, publication, and marketing of Sweet Home Alaska tells us that writers like Dagg, and editors like Nancy Paulsen, have a long way to go.\nI do not recommend Sweet Home Alaska.\nAnd, I do not recommend The Smell of Other People's Houses, either.\nNote (April 18, 2016): Thank you, anon, for letting me know that, partway thru the review, I had spelled the author's name incorrectly (as Dabb instead of Dagg). I've corrected those errors.\nLabels: Carole Estby Dagg, not recommended, Pub year: 2016, Sweet Home Alaska\nCynthia Nugent said...\nInsightful and informative review. thank you.\nCynthia Nugent, MA children's lit, UBC\nSaturday, April 16, 2016 at 10:36:00 AM CDT\nErin in Alaska said...\nThanks for sharing. I am going to look into this one. My initial, knee-jerk reaction is a bit grumpy. Yes, there is a museum in Anchorage that presents historical information about Alaska's Native communities, but there there is also a very contemporary and AMAZING resource in the Alaska Native Heritage Center. Bonus, there is a free shuttle from the museum to take people there.\nIs the author'd last name Dabb or Dagg? It changes midway through your review.\nMonday, April 18, 2016 at 11:00:00 AM CDT\nI understand that only those who have tribal membership may identify themselves as citizens of a tribe or nation. However, I live in an area in which many people really do have native heritage without having a card to prove it. And many with a card to prove it may have a small quantum of blood, but still have a CDIB card. I question whether it is fair to dismiss all those who are descended from native persons and take pride in that heritage as \"not really\" of that heritage on the basis of whether they hold a card or not. What about people who genuinely have an interest in rediscovering and honoring their ancestor's culture? Should they be marginalized?\nAgain, I understand that the citizenship is a different issue. However, many people identify as \"Italian\" or \"Lebanese\" or some other culture without having citizenship in their countries of origin.\nSome tribal nations issue cards, some don't.\nBlood quantum doesn't matter. A tribe makes decisions about enrollment. Some, for example, require that the person participate in tribal activity, and others do not.\nAnyone with a family story of Native ancestry can, of course, take pride in that, but the pride in that ancestry ought to be based on real knowledge rather than romantic ideas of what Native people were/are. That discovery you're talking about is important. And can be done.\nOne of my colleagues did a terrific Storify on this very subject:\nhttps://storify.com/Hayden_King/indigenous-identity-genealogy-and-responsibility\nThank you for that thoughtful answer.\nCarole Estby Dagg said...\nTo clarify my use of part-Native, my husband's mother was Yupik Eskimo who was sent from Alaska to Oregon to the Chemawa Indian school and his father was Swedish. My husband is a shareholder in Cook Inlet Region and served on the board of his native region for thirty years. My son (who was active in Native Americans at Dartmouth) has served on the board for ten years. Although my family honors its Native heritage, they also honor its Scandinavian heritage; therefore, I used the term part-Native.\nA note on the song lyrics: it is cited in appendix F in We Shall be Remembered by Evangeline Atwood.\nThanks, Carole, for the info on why you use part-Native. I understand, but it is important to acknowledge that most people don't realize that Native Nations are nations who determine citizens, etc.\nThe educational system has done a poor job of teaching about our nationhood. That leads to ignorance that allows people to dismiss the entire idea out-of-hand when something like the Indian Child Welfare Act is being discussed.",

        "title": "Universal lessons - If every child went to school",
        "raw_content": "If every child went to schoolUniversal lessons\nTheir lives would be better, even if they did not learn very much\nPrint version | The World If\nAS YOU WALK from classroom to classroom at Tibba Khara school on the outskirts of Lahore, Pakistan\u2019s second-biggest city, the children seem to disappear. Pandemonium prevails in the first classroom, packed with five- and six-year-olds in their first year of school. But pass through the next few rooms, with progressively older classes, and both the number of pupils and the volume level steadily diminish. By the time you reach the class of ten- and 11-year-olds, there are just a handful of pupils left, silently studying.\nThis pattern of school attendance, steadily declining with age, is not unique to Pakistan. The global share of children who do not attend primary school has fallen from 28% in 1970 to 9% in 2016. But progress is stalling, and is less impressive than it appears. The share of children not attending school has fallen by less than one percentage point since 2007. Some 63m children of the relevant age do not go to primary school; another 200m do not attend secondary school. And although roughly the same proportion of children start school in rich and poor countries, most in poor countries do not finish. Fully 96% of children in the OECD club of mostly rich countries attend secondary school through to the age of 16; in poor countries the share is just 35%.\nThe highest dropout rates are in sub-Saharan Africa, north Africa and the Middle East. Girls from poor rural families fare especially badly. Fewer than one in 20 such girls in sub-Saharan Africa can be expected to finish secondary school. Worldwide, girls remain twice as likely never to start school in the first place.\nIn principle the world is committed to making sure every child attends school until the age of 16. In 2015 the members of the UN pledged that by 2030 \u201call girls and boys [will] complete free, equitable and quality primary and secondary education.\u201d In 2016 a commission of the great and good (plus Shakira, a pop star) recommended increasing annual spending on education in developing countries from $1.2trn in 2016 to $3trn in 2030, in part to ensure every child completes school. What if that were to happen?\nPerhaps naturally, educationists assume that it would lead to millions more children cramming their brains with knowledge. But evidence from schools in poor countries suggests otherwise. Many children learn precious little in their classes. If you want to find an uneducated child in today\u2019s world, argues Lant Pritchett, an economist at Harvard University, \u201cyou can find them in school\u201d.\nThe extent of the failure is immense. According to a survey of three east African countries (Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda) published in 2014, three-quarters of pupils in the third year of primary school could not read a sentence such as: \u201cThe name of the dog is Puppy.\u201d In rural India almost the same share could not subtract 17 from 46, or perform similar calculations with two-digit numbers. Research by the Centre for Global Development (CGD), a think-tank, suggests that in half of the developing countries for which they have data, less than 50% of women who left school after the age of 11 can read a sentence. UNESCO, the United Nations body responsible for education and science, estimates that six out of ten children worldwide (a total of more than 600m) do not meet a minimum standard of proficiency in reading and maths. The vast majority of these children are in school.\nIf the children not in school began attending, it is therefore unlikely that they would learn much either. To understand why, consider what happens\u2014or does not happen\u2014in classrooms. According to data from the World Bank, rates of teacher absenteeism in developing countries range from 11% to 30%. (In Uganda the rate is 60%.) And teachers who do show up often cannot teach. In South Africa, for example, nearly 80% of primary-school maths teachers have knowledge of the subject below that expected of a sixth-grade pupil. Those who can teach frequently focus their attention on smarter pupils, ensuring that laggards fall further behind. A study published in 2016 found that the knowledge of sixth-grade pupils in a poor part of Delhi is 2\u00bd grades below what the maths syllabus expects of them. That gap grows to 4\u00bd grades by for ninth-grade pupils.\nPoverty makes educating children much harder. Children who turn up tired and hungry struggle to pay attention. Teachers who do not have books, equipment or electricity cannot concentrate on teaching arithmetic and language. But the problems in the classroom are political, not financial, in origin. Teachers are often appointed on the basis of patronage, not merit. Powerful teachers\u2019 unions protect woeful educators when they should be sacked. Politicians prefer cutting ribbons outside new schools to improving what happens inside them.\nSpending more money on current education systems would probably do little to improve what happens in the classroom. A review of 30 randomised-controlled trials, published in 2013 in the journal Science by Michael Kremer, Conner Brannen and Rachel Glennerster, found that \u201cmore-of-the-same\u201d policies would have little or no effect on the quality of learning. These included interventions such as adding more teachers to reduce class sizes, or paying for more textbooks. By contrast, changes that did not cost very much but are hard to implement, such as changing pedagogical approaches or introducing short-term contracts for teachers, were associated with higher test scores for pupils.\nIt sounds like a counsel of despair. If every child went to school, millions more would sit in woeful, boring classrooms. But while this sounds awful, it would probably still be good for them, their families and broader society. For, as Justin Sandefur of CGD points out, there is plenty of evidence that even when children do not learn much at school, they still do better for having gone.\nSome benefits are economic. Attending school for longer is associated with earning more in later life, in part because those with additional schooling are more likely to get non-agricultural jobs and move to cities. This may indicate that young people are in fact learning something useful at school that is not being picked up by researchers. But it could also be a signalling effect: a shopkeeper may prefer workers who stayed at school for at least five years.\nAttending school, even a bad one, also brings benefits related to health and fertility. Girls who attend school are likely to delay getting married and having children, even in countries where education is terrible. In Nigeria, where just 8% of women who leave school after the age of 11 can read a sentence, one study suggests that an extra year of schooling is associated with women having 0.26 fewer births. Similar results have been found in Indonesia, Ethiopia, Uganda and Kenya, among other countries. Children born to these women are also less likely to be malnourished and die early.\nThere are several potential reasons for this. One is simply that if girls are at school they are not having sex at home. Another possibility is that schooling raises the opportunity cost of getting pregnant, by giving girls more to lose. In many countries pregnancy is grounds for expulsion, which means girls can no longer learn, or at least gain the labour-market advantage of having a few years\u2019 extra education. Attending school can also improve a girl\u2019s self-image. Simply wearing school uniform can increase girls\u2019 self-esteem and their sense of not yet being adults. This may, in turn, give them the confidence to defer sex and marriage. And even if girls do not learn much from teachers, they may learn useful things from their peers\u2014about contraception and child-rearing, for example.\nParents will send their children to school if they feel it will give them a better shot at life. They will keep them at home if they believe their children can make more money for the household working the fields or the marketplace, or if they worry for their children\u2019s safety in the classroom. So efforts to reform schools and improve teaching would result in more children enrolling in (and completing) school. But even without such reforms, the implication from the research is clear: if every child went to school, no matter how terrible, they would benefit. Even a bad school, it turns out, is better than no school at all.",

I thank all my hon, Friends who were members of the Standing Committee and the hon. Lady the Member for Thurrock (Dr. McDonald) and her hon. Friends who took part in the Committee for the way in which they have approached this important legislation. It 886 is far from being the most contentious of Bills which has been before the House this Session, but it is neccessary, along with the Building Societies Act 1986 and the Financial Services Act, to provide the basis for modernising and updating the supervisory arrangements for the financial sector. It is an important advance on the Banking Act 1979.\nI hope that, having had the opportunity of observing and operating the Banking Act for the past seven or eight years, we have been able to take account of lessons learned and have made provision for a rapidly changing financial sector. It is of great importance to the economy, but it must be properly regulated and supervised. This Bill is designed to do that. I thank all those in this House and in another place who have contributed constructively to its passage.\n\u00a7 Dr. McDonald\nI rise, not to comment on the amendment, but to thank the Minister for his remarks and to say that Opposition Members, both here and in another place, have been glad of the opportunity to improve the legislation. Members of all parties have an interest in seeing that banks are properly supervised, and the legislation which will shortly be on the statute book provides much of the necessary framework for that.\nThe main point now, as the Minister well knows, will be how the Bank of England uses the powers conferred on it by this legislation. We trust that the Bank will keep a close watch on banking institutions. It has already looked into the conduct of some banks, notably the investigation currently under way into the Standard Chartered Bank, which we hope the Bank of England will be able to bring to a conclusion successfully once this legislation is fully operative.\nBack to MINOR AND CONSEQUENTIAL AMENDMENTS\nForward to Fire Safety and Safety of Places of Sport Bill [Lords]",

Its titled \u201cWhy Hollywood as we know it is already over\u201d\nhttps://www.vanityfair.com/news/2017/01/why-hollywood-as-we-know-it-is-already-over\nIts clear that there are going to be more massive changes to the film industry. There have been many changes already, most caused by the digital revolution, but more relevant to crew is the relocation of the film business caused by the massive tax incentives offered by cities and countries wanting to attract film production.\nBut I think Steve is wrong when he says that the digital disruption we can expect in the next few years will affect the wardrobe assistant who provided the \u201craindrop moment\u201d described in his article. (A wardrobe assistant scolded a scriptwriter, claiming it was \u201cher job\u201d to wipe a raindrop from an actor\u2019s costume). I cannot see an AI or a robot taking her job.\nIn my department \u2013 Locations, a few years ago, we thought that some sophisticated version of green screen would mean that in future, crews would never leave the studio. What has happened is that increasingly, Locations are becoming a part of the visual effects department.\nThe film industry in London has never been busier (though the UK tax incentives on offer might have something to do with that). Our industry is full of High end TV and Features using sets which are CGI + reality hybrids \u2013 GoT, Harry Potter and Star Wars to name but a few. Designers augment real locations using CGI, and digital trickery as well as old fashioned set dressing.\nSo, content is still king, and whether it is provided by Amazon, Netflix or Apple, rather than Paramount or Universal, in my view, talented creative crews will still be required for some time yet.\nview previous filmapp blog",

        "title": "Travel: Niagara Falls in Winter",
        "raw_content": "Niagara Falls has been on our Travel Bucket List for awhile now. Have you been?\nThere are pros and cons to visiting Niagara Falls during the off-peak season or, as I affectionately refer to it, the cold, frozen winter.\nThe pros include lower prices on lodging and fewer tourists to contend with.\nThe cons involve possibly bad weather and not all tourist attractions will be open.\nCan you guess which option is more appealing to our family?\nLet me grab my coat and scarf because I really loathe long lines and I\u2019m a big fan of saving a buck!\nThe only caveat that would make this a dealbreaker for us if there was an attraction we really wanted to experience that wasn\u2019t open during off-peak season. In Niagara Falls, most of the riverboat cruises do not operate during the winter, but seeing the falls from that vantage point wasn\u2019t super important to us. Maybe because we\u2019ve been on similar excursions on other rivers. Or maybe we just didn\u2019t know what we would be missing!\nEither way, we had a great time.\nHere are our tips for visiting Niagara Falls during the winter:\nFIRST, WHY IS NIAGARA FALLS IMPORTANT?\nNiagara Falls is not one, but three waterfalls comprised of American Falls, Horseshoe Falls and Bridal Veil Falls. So why is it important? After all, it isn\u2019t the tallest waterfall(s) in the world.\nNo, but the sheer amount of water running over the falls is what makes it so impressive. 6 million cubic feet of water flows over the falls every minute during the day during peak tourist season.\nThe amount of water you will see on your trip was established in a bilateral treaty in 1950 between Canada and the U.S. While the \u2018curtain\u2019 of water you will see is definitely impressive, it is even more so when you realize you\u2019re only seeing 25 \u2013 50% of the river\u2019s capacity flowing over the falls at any given time. Put another way, at least half of Niagara River\u2019s water is being diverted for hydroelectricity.\nBecause of the sheer force of the water\u2019s movement, Niagara Falls is also forever changing. The falls has not always been located in this exact area. It has moved backward approximately 7 miles in the last 12,500 years to its current location and it continues to erode at the rate of about 1 foot per year.\nAs you know by now, we travel for fun, but also, much to my children\u2019s dismay, to learn. The statistic I found the most interesting is that close to 20% of the world\u2019s freshwater runs over Niagara Falls. Let that sink in. ONE FIFTH of the freshwater IN THE WORLD.\nWhere does the water come from? It is drainage from four of the five Great Lakes: Superior, Michigan, Huron and Erie. The water flows from the lakes, down the Niagara River, over the falls and then empties into the fifth lake, Lake Ontario.\nNow, here is the last fact to blow your mind. Less than 1% of the water in the Great Lakes that is flowing over Niagara Falls is renewable on an annual basis. Meaning water from precipitation or groundwater. 99% of the water is what scientists call, and I\u2019ve never heard this term, fossil water. Water that is left over from the last Ice Age.\nI\u2019ll stop nerding out on you now, but check my stats and learn more about the history and geology of the falls at Niagara Falls USA and Niagara Parks.\nSHOULD YOU VISIT THE CANADIAN SIDE OR THE U.S. SIDE?\nNiagara Falls is shared by both Canada and the U.S. Which side should you visit and do you need to visit both?\nGreat questions! I like this give and take we\u2019ve got going on here.\nI don\u2019t think I\u2019m being biased when I say the Canadian side has the better views of the falls. If you are standing on the Canadian side, you have a direct, panoramic view of both American and Horseshoe Falls. From the American vantage point, you are standing alongside the falls, so the view is close and impressive, but not as sweeping. Also, from the American side your backdrop is the very developed, tourist-centric Canadian side with its high-rise hotels and casino buildings. There is far less development on the U.S. side.\nThe Canadian side is where you want to stay if you want an abundance of lodging, entertainment and dining choices. Our impression of Niagara Falls on the U.S. side is the park is what you would expect from a major state park or historic site, but the area outside the park leaves a little to be desired at this time.\nMy recommendation if you are traveling from the U.S. side and have a passport is to cross over into Canada \u2013 even if it is just for the afternoon. It\u2019s worth it.\nThe toll fee for vehicles (as of 12/2018) is US$3.75 or CAN$4.75, but if you are walking across Rainbow Bridge, the pedestrian fee is US/CAN$1. Every website says you can walk across, I just didn\u2019t notice the path when we were driving and Handy Husband didn\u2019t think I should be taking pictures of our border crossing. Ha!\nAlso, if you have a U.S. passport and want a stamp on your passport, you\u2019ll have to ask the Canadian border official nicely for one. Your entry is all recorded electronically now, so the passport stamp isn\u2019t always necessary. Our kids are really into collecting passport stamps as proof of their travels and the Canadian border official was super gracious in stamping our passports when I asked.\nTHINGS TO DO ON THE CANADIAN SIDE\nNiagara Falls, Canada, is a completely walkable town. Yes, my definition of \u201cwalkable\u201d might be different from yours, but I think most of you can handle this town.\nThere\u2019s the tourist hub of Clifton Hill, with a few blocks of entertainment, hotels and restaurants. Adjacent to that there\u2019s a large sidewalk along Niagara Parkway that follows the river straight to the falls and the tourist activities located there.\nIn my experience, you can walk from one end to the other in 15 minutes or less with two kids in tow who are dragging their feet. See? Totally doable!\nHere are the activities we enjoyed\u2026\nClifton Hill is a self-described street of fun. I was going to call it a tourist trap on steroids. Potato, potat-oh.\nIt\u2019s designed to take your money as fast as possible in a visually appealing way. You want to be mad about it, but it\u2019s so well done that it\u2019s kind of impressive. Does that make sense?\nIf you want to do Ripley\u2019s Believe It or Not, 4-D theaters, giant ferris wheel, indoor waterpark, casino, wax museum, go kart racing, house of mirrors, bowling, haunted house, arcade, minigolf \u2013 it\u2019s ALL THERE.\nOur kids picked one thing to do on Clifton Hill and we also stopped at the entrance of many of the attractions because almost all of them have some sort of free gimmick you can look at or take pictures with: a floating sphere, a giant moose, etc.\nFor more details on Clifton Hill attractions or to take advantage of their special offers, click here.\nStroll Niagara Parkway Pedestrian Path\nBetween the Clifton Hill area and Horseshoe Falls there is a wide pedestrian path that follows the river. This is where you will take all your pictures of American Falls and Horseshoe Falls. You may even get wet from the spray coming up from Horseshoe Falls.\nYou can\u2019t tell from the below picture, but this was a dry, fairly sunny day. I swear! All the moisture in the air and on the ground in the below picture is from the spray rising up from Horseshoe Falls. That\u2019s how close you are to the action!\nIf you are visiting Niagara Falls during Christmas, make sure you take the stroll along the river at night too. There is a park area that follows the pedestrian path that is lit up with thousands of Christmas lights and it is absolutely magical.\nAlso at night American Falls and Horseshoe Falls will be illuminated in different colors. I think I enjoyed this more than seeing the falls during the day! Is that wrong? That\u2019s probably wrong!\nIf you are visiting over Christmas break, there may also be a fireworks show around 9 p.m. on many nights.\nFor more information on the year-round falls illumination, click here.\nJourney Behind the Falls was my favorite part of our Niagara Falls experience. You\u2019ll take an elevator down 125 feet that opens up to tunnels behind Horseshoe Falls. These tunnels were blasted 130 years ago! Although, I\u2019m fairly certain they\u2019ve been structurally shored up since then!\nYou\u2019ll get a sideview of Horseshoe Falls (see below) and then you can walk to viewing windows directly behind the falls. This behind-the-scenes view of the falls is an up-close, powerful reminder that \u201cYep, you\u2019d have to be out-of-your-mind to want to go off the falls in a barrel.\u201d\nIf you really want to get up close and personal to the falls in the winter, I highly recommend this attraction. You won\u2019t be able to get this close on the American side of the falls during the winter because they dismantle the Cave of the Winds walkways every year.\nFor Journey Behind the Falls tickets and opening times, click here. Consider purchasing the Wonder Pass that combines 4 of the Niagara Parks attractions and free access to public transportation for one discounted price. It\u2019s what we did and it was very convenient to have and use.\nIn the same building as the Journey Behind the Falls attraction is Niagara\u2019s Fury. This was my children\u2019s (ages 8 and 11) favorite part of our trip. The first part of the show is a 10-minute cartoon about how Niagara Falls was created. It\u2019s very well done, so adults shouldn\u2019t be put off by the cartoon aspect.\nThen you\u2019ll proceed into a standing theater of sorts. Oh! The best part? You\u2019ll be given rain ponchos to wear! There are screens all around you in this 4-D theater and the show is designed to sort of make you feel like you are floating down the river toward the falls.\nYou\u2019re wearing ponchos because mist comes down from the ceiling during this experience.\nFor Niagara\u2019s Fury tickets and opening times, click here.\nI\u2019m sure you\u2019re not associating Niagara Falls with butterflies. I didn\u2019t either. However, we purchased the Wonder Pass from Niagara Parks, which combines multiple attractions and public transportation into one pass. The Butterfly Conservatory was on the list, so we went!\nEven in the winter, the grounds were beautiful. There\u2019s a cafe on site if you need a cup of coffee or a bite to eat.\nThe Butterfly Conservatory was typical of the ones I\u2019ve visited in other places. You\u2019ll enter a super lush, tropical habitat filled with thousands of butterflies. If you\u2019re lucky, one might even land on you.\nIf you are visiting in the winter, take advantage of their free coat room. It must be 80 degrees in the butterfly area and you\u2019ll be much more comfortable if you hang up your coat before you enter.\nAlso, if you take the WEGO bus (that\u2019s the one that is free with the Wonder Pass) to the conservatory, it comes every 30 minutes or so in the winter. You\u2019ll want to time your visit accordingly or take advantage of the onsite cafe while you wait for your ride back into town. Please don\u2019t feel intimidated by the WEGO bus if you aren\u2019t a frequent user of public transportation. To \u2018pay\u2019 for your ride you just scan your Wonder Pass when you board. The bus route to the attractions on your Wonder Pass is pretty much a straight line and the driver announces every stop, so it\u2019s hard to get lost.\nFor more information on The Butterfly Conservatory, click here.\nDINING ON THE CANADIAN SIDE\nThere are a ton of American restaurants in Niagara Falls, Canada, for your dining pleasure. Just what you were looking for, right?\nWe took our kids to The RainForest Cafe. Yes, it was over-priced and the food is nothing memorable, but honest to goodness it was the ONE TIME in our entire lives where we didn\u2019t have to admonish our children for inappropriate restaurant behavior. So, basically, all it took to have an enjoyable family dining experience was a restaurant filled with animatronic animals. *sigh*\nWe also loved the soft serve ice cream from the delicious, but questionably-named shop Sweet Jesus.\nFor a list of restaurants in Niagara Falls, Canada, including some actual Canadian ones click here.\nLODGING ON THE CANADIAN SIDE\nThe benefit of visiting Niagara Falls in the winter or over Christmas is that hotel rates are really, really low. There were a few US$39 hotels available. I tend to be skeptical of those hotels, but there were many that were between US$50 and $100 per night that included breakfast and parking. For our family of 4, having breakfast included is going to save us at least US$30. Parking is a savings of around CAN$15 per day.\nThere is also a cluster of B&Bs right along the river. This B&B district is a little far from the falls from a walking perspective, but public transportation stops in that area regularly making it more convenient to get to the touristy areas.\nWe stayed at the Clifton Victoria Inn. It\u2019s an older hotel that won\u2019t \u2018wow\u2019 you, but it was clean and the free breakfast was more robust than I expected. My kids weren\u2019t super impressed with the wifi though. Don\u2019t you feel bad for them? Ha!\nFor a list of hotels in Niagara Falls, click here.\nTHINGS TO DO ON THE USA SIDE\nYes, we spent 99% of our trip to Niagara Falls on the Canadian side of the border, but I would be remiss if I didn\u2019t mention the things you can do during the winter on the U.S. side of the border.\nNiagara Falls State Park is accessible year-round, but some of the major tourist aspects of the park are closed. This includes Cave of the Winds and some of the paths closest to the falls.\nYou can visit the World Changed Here Pavilion, Adventure Theater, or the Aquarium of Niagara among other places.\nThe smart folks at Niagara Falls Tourism also offer a bunch of coupons (Winter Wonder Savings Pass) if you visit the area in the winter.\nAs you know, we LOVE our state and national parks. This park is very well done, but it would be better experienced in the summer and that\u2019s the tradeoff of visiting when we did.\nParking tip! If you enter the park before opening hours AND the gate is up, you don\u2019t have to pay for parking. We accidentally learned that little tip. For the record, we tried to pay, but I guess the machine wouldn\u2019t accept money until 9 a.m. and the park ranger told us not to worry about it.\nTo learn more about Niagara Falls State Park and a full list of things to do in Niagara Falls USA, click here.\nEXCHANGE RATE AND CURRENCY\nIf you are an American visiting Canada, always check the exchange rate before you plan a trip.\nFood and activities (even taxes) are quite expensive in Niagara Falls, Canada. Having a favorable exchange rate will make your visit much more palatable. When we visited in December 2018, US$1.00 equaled approximately CAN$1.36.\nThe only time we used cash on our trip was paying our toll fee to cross into Canada and we paid that in U.S. dollars. Other than that, we never felt the need to use cash, which isn\u2019t always the case when traveling out of the United States. I recommend letting your credit card company know you\u2019ll be traveling across the border so you don\u2019t encounter any problems with fraud alerts.\nIf we were to do this trip over, we would have planned a day experiencing Niagara Falls (that\u2019s all we really needed during the winter) and then added time onto our trip to experience Toronto. The benefit for us of living within driving distance of the Canadian border is we can always go back.\nAll in all, I am so happy we saw Niagara Falls. Not just because it was on our Travel Bucket List, but because it is an amazing natural wonder and resource. I didn\u2019t care too much for the touristy, non-falls related aspects of Niagara Falls, but I understand why that part of the area is there and thriving. To me, the most enriching part of the experience was learning about and exploring the falls area itself.\nNow I can look forward to the next adventure\u2026whatever that may be!\nRESOURCES FOR PLANNING A TRIP TO NIAGARA FALLS\nToll Fees at Border Crossings\nNiagara Falls Tourism Canada\nNiagara Falls State Park USA\nIf you enjoy travel, you may like one of these posts!\nVisiting Ireland: Cliffs of Moher and Aran Islands, Ireland\nTravel: One Day in London With Kids\nSafety Tips for Foreign Travel With Kids\ncanadaniagara fallstraveltravel with kids\nTravel: One Day in Berlin with Kids",

        "raw_content": "26th June 2017 Kate Payne comments in Money Marketing on the future of DB pension transfer advice\nPosted at 15:17h in Governance and Compliance, Kate-Payne, Scheme Governance & Compliance regulatory, Scheme Governance and Compliance trustee, Uncategorized\tby\tarcpensionslaw\nPension freedoms have opened defined benefit members\u2019 eyes to the mouth-watering transfer values currently on offer if they give up their guaranteed benefits and move to a defined contribution scheme.\nAt the same time, the FCA\u2019s requirement that people transferring out of a DB scheme with a value of \u00a330,000 or more must take regulated financial advice has increased demand for advisers\u2019 services.\nSome commentators point to an apparent contradiction between DB members having a statutory right to transfer to a DC scheme and the FCA\u2019s starting assumption that transfers are not in the members\u2019 best interests.\nKate Payne called it an \u201codd mismatch\u201d. She said: \u201cThere needs to be a better link-up between the Treasury, the Department for Work & Pensions and the FCA. Pension freedoms were introduced by the Treasury, the DWP effectively put in place the requirement to take advice of transfers of more than \u00a330,000 and the FCA is saying \u2018We know you can advise on transfers but the starting point is that it\u2019s not in the client\u2019s best interests\u2019. It\u2019s a strange starting position to say it\u2019s not suitable. If you\u2019re a single person with no dependents, why not take the money?\u201d\nWhile Kate agreed that it is right the FCA\u2019s focus is on ensuring any potential transfer is suitable for the client, she believes this needs to be based on the full facts rather than general assumptions that pre-date pensions freedoms.\nIf the barriers in the way of DB members exercising their statutory right to transfer and getting suitable advice continues, she worries this could increase the number of insistent clients. She is also concerned that, if people cannot access advice from a reputable adviser, more could become susceptible to the scammers and undesirable firms the regulator is trying to clamp down on.\nRead the full article in Money Marketing here",

        "raw_content": "\u00ab Love and Basketball\nSpecial Needs \u2014 Special Spirits\nPublished March 16, 2015\tspiritual gifts , Supernatural 2 Comments\nTags: discernment, Love, Mercy, spiritual gifts\nI haven\u2019t told too many people this before, but there\u2019s a thing I do to calm down when life gets really hectic.\nWhen you ask most people how they calm down, they\u2019ll tell you they meditate, or breathe slowly, or maybe take a pill or something. If they\u2019re followers of Christ, they may say that they pray or read the Bible. I\u2019ve done most of these things, but that\u2019s only because they\u2019re a bit more convenient than the way I know that works best for me.\nMy way of reducing stress involves hanging around people with special needs.\nYou see, I have what the Bible calls the gift of discernment, which is one of the gifts listed in 1 Corinthians 12. I have other gifts, but when I test for it, my gift of discernment is kind of off the charts. By the way, if you haven\u2019t taken a class on the gifts, or haven\u2019t taken a test or two attempting to figure out your gifts \u2013 and yes, you definitely have at least one \u2013 then I really encourage you to do so. I mean, if you spend enough time in the world, you\u2019ll take about 20 personality tests that try to figure out how you work with other people (so you can say, for example, \u201cI\u2019m a purple introverted INXP!\u201d). A spiritual gifts test will tell you how you work with other people according to God\u2019s purpose for your life, and that seems like a more useful thing to know.\nAnyway, discernment simply means that I can discern spirits, good and bad. When it\u2019s strong, I can sense spirits from a distance and in varying degrees. Like a lot of things, that can be a blessing and a curse. For example, you\u2019d think that certain places, like churches, would only have good spirits in them. Not true. And you\u2019d think other places, like cemeteries, might have bad spirits in them. In fact, I\u2019ve found that cemeteries tend not to have any spirits in them at all (which makes cemeteries a fabulous place for me to run in peace.) I\u2019m drawn to people with good spirits, and I have had to work in the world with people with not-so-good spirits. Of course, there\u2019s more to it than all of this, and those of you with discernment know how quickly you can freak people out if you talk about it too much or explain all the different ways it works.\nThis is a roundabout way of saying that when I\u2019m in the presence of people with special needs, I sense only good spirits \u2013 really, really good spirits \u2013 and that being around them calms me down. In fact, if I\u2019m feeling especially weird, I\u2019ll go looking for them just to be in the presence of their spirits. There\u2019s something so pure and good inside each one of them, and I\u2019m reminded of God\u2019s love and presence in every one of us. I am reassured by a God who takes a human body that some people will unfortunately say is \u201cbad\u201d or \u201cnot normal\u201d, and then places a spirit inside them that shines so brightly. I think it\u2019s one of His ways of, once again, explaining the Kingdom as a place that is simply different from this world.\nNot too long ago, the well-known atheist, Richard Dawkins, commented on what a woman should do if she learned that her baby was going to be born with Down syndrome. He said, \u201cAbort it and try again.\u201d Like a lot of what Dawkins says, it\u2019s not so much shocking as profoundly sad, and wholly neglects even to imagine what a beautiful emissary for God\u2019s Kingdom a child with Down syndrome would be.\nI mention this last thing not to condemn him or to depress you, but only to emphasize the vast difference between the natural and the supernatural worlds. We live in the natural world, but the supernatural world is our home, and it\u2019s clearly that world that gives you the best insight into special needs people. So if you see a person with special needs, remember what a discerner told you about them. Special needs \u2013 special spirits.\n2 Responses to \u201cSpecial Needs \u2014 Special Spirits\u201d\n1 Kiera March 20, 2015 at 11:34 pm\nThanks so much, Kiera!",

Paul sets out to prove that election to salvation flows solely from God\u2019s will and purpose\nFurthermore, in order to make it absolutely clear that election has nothing to do with human merit or choice, Paul says that God chose one to salvation (Jacob) and one to reprobation (Esau) before they were even born; before either had done good or evil.\n(Schwertley, Brian; \u201cChosen by God: The Doctrine of Unconditional Election\u201d)\nThe standard apologetic for Calvinists is to frame the analogy of Jacob and Esau as representative of elect versus non-elect individuals, then go on to interpret Jacob\u2019s election being \u201cnot of works\u201d as being an analogous expression of, \u201cnothing a man does or chooses can have anything to do with whether he\u2019s elected/saved\u201d\u2013 AKA \u201cUnconditional Election.\u201d\nAs we\u2019ve noted before from the context of the passage, the contrast being given in the Jacob vs Esau analogy isn\u2019t meant to reflect the difference between John M. Elect and Joe D. Reprobate, but between national Israel and the true Israel of God (the Body of Christ), which illustrates God\u2019s choosing of those who walk by faith over those who live under the Mosaic law.\nSince Paul isn\u2019t contrasting individuals, but the corporate bodies of national Israel and those who are true children of Abraham through faith, there is very little basis to interpret the statement that election and salvation are \u201cnot of works\u201d to mean that \u201cno conditionality is involved.\u201d A far more fitting interpretation is that the \u201cworks\u201d he\u2019s referring to are the works of the law that national Israel attempts to keep. That is to say, election isn\u2019t based upon how well one keeps the law given at Sinai, which partially explains why many in Israel are not among the chosen (which is what Paul is explaining in the chapter, note verses 1-8). This interpretation also fits the context much better in that it correlates precisely with the point Paul makes in his conclusion of the matter at the end of the chapter (verses 30-33),\n30 What shall we say then? That Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness of faith;\n31 but Israel, pursuing the law of righteousness, has not attained to the law of righteousness.\n32 Why? Because they did not seek it by faith, but as it were, by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumbling stone.\n33 As it is written: \u201cBehold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and rock of offense, And whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.\u201d [quoting Isaiah 8:14 and 28:16]\nIsrael has not obtained righteousness because they sought it not by faith, but by the works of the law. This goes hand-in-hand with the fact that being chosen unto righteousness is not of works, but rather of God who has rejected those who rest in the law in favor of the those who follow in Abraham\u2019s footsteps of faith, and calls us into fellowship with His Son. The analogy of one being chosen over the other before they\u2019d committed any good or evil is very fitting then, both in highlighting the irrelevancy of the law in terms of our salvation, as well as in a more literal sense, for the sacrifice of our Lord and the redemption to which we are called to in Him were planned from the very beginning (Eph 3:9), even before any law had been given.\nThe scriptural teaching that election is not of works doesn\u2019t preclude conditions to salvation (such as faith, which is not a work), but rather indicates that the choice of to whom God shows His mercy isn\u2019t based upon adherence to the works of the Mosaic law.\nFiled under: Calvinism, election, faith, Posts written by JC Thibodaux, Romans 9, Where Calvinism Gets Romans 9 Wrong |\n\u00ab Abasciano on the Calvinist Appeal to Acts 27 in Order to Support the Claim That it is Reasonable to Warn Believers Against Impossibilites Where Calvinism Gets Romans 9 Wrong: Proof-Texting From a Translation Choice \u00bb\njonathan mcgill, on February 18, 2012 at 1:59 pm said:\nSounds like this arminian interpretation actually benefits from the New Perspective(s) on Paul writings, to a certain degree.\nDo you find that more and more arminians adhering to the general principles of the NPP?\nJack Hanley, on February 18, 2012 at 5:50 pm said:\nI have to admit I am totaly confussed. You state, The standard apologetic for Calvinists is to frame the analogy of Jacob and Esau as representative of elect versus non-elect individuals, then go on to interpret Jacob\u2019s election being \u201cnot of works\u201d as being an analogous expression of, \u201cnothing a man does or chooses can have anything to do with whether he\u2019s elected/saved\u201d- AKA \u201cUnconditional Election.\u201d However the verse actually says, for the children not yet being born, nor having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works but of Him who calls),. Now I must admit, I am not very smart, and I am certainly not a theologian. However the text seems to be saying, exactly what you are saying it is not saying. I believe it clearly says, that God chose before the children were born and before they had done any good or evil. And what is the stated purpose? So that God\u2019s election might stand, so then its not of works but of Him who CALLS. You also state, that Paul is not saying that no conditions are involved here, you then go on to say that faith is a requirement, to which I agree, but doesn\u2019t Paul tell us that faith like salvation are gifts given to us by God? What is the requirement then? And what requirement did Jacob meet that Esau did not? Let me just say this, and I will wait eagerly for a response. Most christians believe the main difference between reformed and Arminian theology is predestination, and it is to an extnent. However I believe it runs deeper than this. I believe the main difference is a man centered theology vs. a God centered theology. Arminian theology focuses on what man does toward salvation. It also focuses, on what man has to do to keep salvation. Therefore, Arminian theology\u2019s focus will be law, (telling us what we have to do). Reformed theology\u2019s focus is on God, and what He has done. Now this does not mean we do not preach law. However our preaching of law is to demonstrate just how far we have fallen, and that there is nothing we can do, no laws we can follow that can possibly come close to attoning for our sin against God. We preach the law to drive people away from themselves, and their own efforts, to the cross of Chrisrt. We call this the Gospel, or Good News, and we believe this Gospel is the power of God unto salvation. We also believe it has the power to do what it says it will do, and that is, it has the power not only to save, but also to change lives. Therefore we preach Christ and Him crucified. In other words we tell people what God has done through Christ, and we believe when people hear this Gospel, and cling to Christ for their salvation, it frees them from the law, to rather serve God out of love and gratitude, knowing that they will fail along the way, but even when we fail, we cling to Christ and continue to serve. We truly believe that the Gospel alone has the power to change lives, and cause people follow the law of love from the new heart God has given. As I have conversed, with many of my Arminian brothers and sissters in Christ, it seems to me that they just cannot believe that simple good news alone can do this. Therefore they have to add to it. What is added of course is our obligation, what we need to do, in other words law. However I believe the Bible is clear that law cannot save only the Gospel can. Thanks your brother in Christ\nRobert, on February 20, 2012 at 2:19 am said:\nThanks for writing this. In the past when I worked with Walter Martin and dealt with non-Christian cults it was easy to see who the \u201cgood guys\u201d and \u201cbad guys\u201d were. The \u201cgood guys\u201d were the true believers that taught and believed that we are justified by faith alone. The \u201cbad guys\u201d were the non-believers who taught various works saved you and attacked justificatiom by faith.\nNow with the emergence of the new calvinism, I have regularly seen calvinists who profess to be Christians attack justification by faith. How is this done? When it is pointed out that we are saved through faith, and this faith is a freely made choice on our part in response to the preconversion work of the Holy Spirit. Some of these fanatical and misguided folks are so zealous about their conception of monergism. That they end up arguing that the initial faith that we have, if it is our choice, if it is freely made, IS A RELIGIOUS WORK THAT SAVES US AND THAT WE MIGHT TAKE PRIDE IN. In this way, initial saving faith, is attacked, minimized, mocked and even ridiculed by these people.\nThis is extremely sad, and this means the \u201cbad guys\u201d are not just cultists who want to argue for justification by works and attack justification by faith. It is also professing christians/calvinists who are misguided by their commitment to calvinist theology so that they end up themselves attacking the biblical doctrine of justification by faith. I never thought I would see this day when Christians would attack justification by faith by claiming our initial saving faith is a religious work by which some may boast.\nThe Reformers understood that our initial saving faith is necessary in the process of salvation, though our faith in itself did not save or justify us before God. if the Reformers saw these attacks upon justification by faith by contemporary professing Reformed people they would turn over in their graves.\nI\u2019m not sure what you\u2019re takling about. I have only a cursory familiarity with NPP and no theological commitment to it.\nI agree that the text states that God chose Jacob over Esau before they\u2019d done any good or evil acts. The post built upon a previous post (linked to above) that showed why Jacob and Esau don\u2019t represent specific individuals, but national Israel and spiritual Israel.\n@doesn\u2019t Paul tell us that faith like salvation are gifts given to us by God? What is the requirement then? And what requirement did Jacob meet that Esau did not?\nFaith is given by God in the sense that He enables sinners to believe in spite of their fallen nature. One freely believing is, however, distinct from being granted that he may do so. The analogy need state nothing about requirements: the fact that Jacob represents those who believe, as opposed to those who rely upon the law (Esau), implies that faith is already a given in the former. The analogy\u2019s statement that God\u2019s choosing is \u201cnot of works\u201d is expressing the irrelevance of the Mosaic law in God\u2019s choice.\n@I believe the main difference is a man centered theology vs. a God centered theology. Arminian theology focuses on what man does toward salvation.\nCalvinism portraying God as being like a nepotistic uncle who does everything to obtain salvation for His favorites seems far more man-centered than Arminianism\u2019s view of God as the sovereign King who rewards those who willingly obey His gospel. In the latter view, you and I aren\u2019t unconditionally special, because we aren\u2019t the focus: God\u2019s will and the gospel are.\n@It also focuses, on what man has to do to keep salvation. Therefore, Arminian theology\u2019s focus will be law, (telling us what we have to do).\nYou seem to be confusing the law and the gospel. Arminians reject the idea that law-keeping is necessary for salvation. The law isn\u2019t simply anything that\u2019s commanded, otherwise believing itself (which is commanded, Mark 1:15) would be just another form of law-keeping (contradicting Gal 3:12). Faith itself doesn\u2019t atone for our sins, but it\u2019s rather how we obtain forgiveness through Christ. As far as the gospel message entailing obligation on our part, that\u2019s quite evident throughout scripture:\n\u201c\u2026[God] \u2018will render to each one according to his deeds\u2019: eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality; but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness\u2013indignation and wrath\u2026.\u201d (Romans 2:6-8)\n\u201cTake heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.\u201d (1 Tim 4:16)\nRobert, indeed. I\u2019ve noted that the way most Calvinists argue against \u201cworks\u201d and \u201chuman effort\u201d would logically entail eternal justification (being justified apart from faith, with faith only coming as a later symptom).\nTaranWanderer, on February 20, 2012 at 6:35 pm said:\nI would agree in full with JC\u2019s response and I just wanted to add a personal observation. What I noticed in your response is that you didn\u2019t seem to address the \u201ccorporate vs. individual\u201d point in the post (maybe I missed it?). I\u2019ve spent a lot of time in discussions with Calvinists and the one most consistent thing I notice is the rush to the \u201d man centered theology vs. a God centered theology\u201d rhetoric. IMHO, this simply amounts to a philosophical view of the argument. There is nothing in Arminianism, from a theological perspective, that is \u201cman-centered\u201d. By calling it \u201cman-centered\u201d, the way I receive that is you\u2019re making a judgment on my intent. In a way, you\u2019re saying that I\u2019m trying to give myself credit and stealing God\u2019s glory. This is one of the reasons why Calvinist\u2019s are often viewed as being arrogant.(http://www.desiringgod.org/blog/posts/be-a-kinder-calvinist). I\u2019m not saying you\u2019re being arrogant. I have good friends who are Reformed/Calvinistic. But I thought you should be aware than when this \u201cman-centered\u201d point comes up, that is often how it is received.\nJack Hanley, on February 22, 2012 at 2:43 am said:\nThanks so much for the responses. I plain to respond, but I am working 12 hour shifts. I will do my best to respond by Friday 2-24. Thanks for your patience.\nJack Hanley, on February 24, 2012 at 10:17 pm said:\nOkay, I am off today and ready to respond. Thanks for your patience. First, I would like all to know that I am not attempting to win an argument here, rather I am truly seeking understanding. I was raised in a church that was basically Arminian. I was taught the biblical stories, and told, I needed to be like Moses, Noah, Daniel, King David, and so on. This eventually lead me to despair, because I realized that although, externally I may be better off than some, and maybe even most, internally, I am in ruin. In other words, I have never commited adultry, however I cannot control lust, I can stop it once it starts, but its too late. I have never committed murder, however I cannot control hate. These are just 2 examples. After coming of age and leaving the church for a good number of years, I began to read the bilble for myself, and it was then that I began to believe, that what I was taught in my youth was at best inncorrect. Later, after studying Martin Luther I clearly understood what he went through, and the joy he had once he came to the understanding that we are justified by faith alone. I would now like to first respond to J.C. you say Jacob and Esau do not represent individuals but rather national Israel vs. spiritual Israel. While I agree the choice of Jacob involves spiritual Israel, I also believe the choice of Jacob includes national Israel, because Esau was neither. The nation of Israel came into being with the 12 sons of Jacob, which excludes Esau. Esau is neither a member of spiritual, or national Israel. And on what basis? The basis according to the passage cited, is God\u2019s choice. God said Jacob I have loved, Esau I have hated. What is the reason for God\u2019s love for Jacob, as opposed to His hatred for Esau? God chose one nation, the nation of Israel, and what was the reason for this? Was it because they were faithful? No, He chose them before their existence. And he chose Jacob over his twin brother for what reason? Another question I would ask is, how would Esau, represent those who rely upon the law? Esau was not a part of Israel, and he, nor his ancestors recieved the law. So how is it, that Esau represents those who depend on the law? And if, as you seem to acknowledge, we are not to depend on the law, then what is it we need to depend on? What is it that we bring to the table as far as our justification is concerned? Now I agree that Jacod and Esau represent two distint peoples, Jaccob national and spiritual Israel, and Esau those outside of both. In other words those who are later referred to as gentiles. This seems to me to fit well with what Paul is saying, in other words, there is no desire or effort, on the part of either in the choice. In the same way there is no desire or effort on our part. In reality it seems to me Esau did absolutely nothing wrong, however, on the other hand Jacob was a deciever, liar, and skimmer, but God chose Jacob in spite of himself. Okay let me say there is so much here, I\u2019d love to respond to, but obviously, I cannot possibly do it here so I\u2019ll have to choose. J.C. states, Calvanist, (and by the way I would never refer to myself as a calvanist) make God out to be a nepotistic uncle doing everything toward salvation for His favorites. This is a complete misunderstaning, at best, a complete misrepresntation at worst. Paul tells us that all in the human race have become worthless, because of our sin. This means, God could wipe the whole race completely out. However, God chose to save His creation, and found a way to be just, and the justifier of the ungodly. He does this through the elect. The elect desrve, the same fate as those who are not elect. Now there are those that will say this is not fair. My question is, do you really want God to be fair? I certainly do not, because I realize, that I fairly deserve death. Therefore I am not one of God\u2019s favorites, He has no reason to love me. Paul tells us, it took a mighty power from God to raise Christ from the dead. He goes on to tell us, as for you, you were DEAD in trespasses and sins. However God raised us up with Christ. In other words the same mighty power it took to raise Chrst from physical death, is the same power it took to raise us from spiritual death. Paul also tells us the natural man does not understand spiritual things, nor can he. He cannot because he is spiritualy dead, he does not have the spirit of God, and has not been born from above. Let me ask this question, how are we born again? Notice the question closely. It is not, how do you born yourself again? It also is not what do you have to do to be born again? This is the dilemma Nicadimas found himself in. Do I go back into my mother\u2019s womb? Think of it this way, what did you do in your physical birth? What discessions did you make? Did you choose where you were born, to whom, or your birth date? No, and it is the same with those born of the Spirit. The wind blows where it may you can\u2019t control it. Okay last response here to Taran. I hope I have responded to your point of corporate vs. individual. As I said earlier, its hard to respond to all points. Now let me repond to the arrogant charge. I do believe I was most arrogant at the point in my life, when I compared myself with others, and believed that I was somehow morally better than some, and therefore deserving of salvation. Examples are, I once despised gays, drug addicts and pushers, abortionists, just to name a few. However I have come to realize I am no better than they. Therefore I no longer despise them, but rather I have compassion, hoping that as I share the Gospel with them, that the Holy Spirit will be at work to save. If this is arrogance, then I am guilty. Well listen I am certainly sorry for the length, and let me say that I consider us all kin in Christ seeking understanding from one another, and this is truly the reason for my conversation here, faith in search of understanding. Your brother in Christ. To God be the glory\nJPC, on February 25, 2012 at 12:57 am said:\nDid the choosing of Jacob guarantee the Salvation of all that came from him (Israel)? Why is it that so many Israelites commited attrocities and were destroyed as evildoers after God had chosen Jacob? I though that they were chosen regardless of anything that they did. Why did God turn and reject so many of his own people?\nAnd how do you explain this passage in regards to Esau?\n\u201cPursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled; lest there be any fornicator or profane person like Esau, who for one morsel of food sold his birthright. For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears.\u201d Hebrews 12:14-17\nAlso, I responded to your post about 1 Cor. 15 and am curious to know some of your answers to my questions.\nhttps://arminianperspectives.wordpress.com/2012/01/23/1-corinthians-15-and-the-claims-of-calvinism/\nTaranWanderer, on February 25, 2012 at 7:34 am said:\nThank you for responding. Please note in my response I was not saying that you were being arrogant. I specifically referenced your \u201cman centered vs God centered\u201d point. That will always come across as arrogant to a non-Calvinist, even if that was not your intention. You say Arminians focus on what man does, but this again is pure philosophy, not theology. What you see as \u201cman-centered\u201d is actually how Arminian theology interprets God\u2019s interactions with his creation. And I personally believe it is the better interpretation.\nThanks again for your responses. I\u2019ll attempt to answer these 2 responses here and return to the other post to answer JPC. However, as I\u2019m sure you all can see, I am not a very good communicator, or writer, and I\u2019m certainly not a typer, therefore it takes me some time. Because of this I ask for your patiences. First to JPC\u2019s response, no the choosing of Jacob did not guarantee the salvation of all of Israel. Before Jacob, God had made a covenant with Abraham Gen.15. This covenant, God made with Abraham was a unilateral covenant, meaning this covenant depended on God alone. Usually a covenant is made between to parties, with both sides promising to keep the stipulations, (if you will do this, I will inturn do this.) It is very simular to what we refer to today as a contract. The way in which we seal a contract today is with our signature. However in the times of Abraham it was not uncommon for the ritual described in Gen. 15 to occur. where the corspe of dead animals were placed on the ground, and the 2 parties would then walk between them, signifing, if either of the 2 broke the covenant the fate of these animals would fall on the one who broke the covenant. However as you can see in this particular covenant God walked through the pieces Himself, calling on the curses to fall upon Him alone if the covenant was broken. Later God made a covenant with all of Israel at Sinai, this covenant, however was a bi-lateral covenant. God gave them the law, and the agreement was do this and live. And the people said all this we will do. However as we all know they failed miserably, as we all have, and continue to do. This is why I am so grateful, that the church I attend has the confesstion of sin, where we all stand together to confess we are sinners and recieve God\u2019s promise of forgiveness. Therefore there are 2 convenants in scripture, the covenant of promise made to Abraham, in which we grab a hold to God\u2019s promise that He alone is mighty to save, the other covenant is the covenant of law, all this we will do. This means that only those who were of the faith of Abraham were the true Israel, that is those who believed God and it was credited to them as righteosness. In other words faith alone in Christ alone, to God be the Glory alone. Now as for the passage in Hebrews, you refer to, it seems to me to be making the same point. As I stated earlier, Jacob was a liar, deciever, and skimmer, yet he was excepted. Esau on the other hand seems to do nothing wrong, besides allowing his brother to decieve him, and even then he seeks repentance even to the point of tears but is rejected. Now allow me to attempt to respond to Taran. Again let me state, I do not now, nor have I ever refered to myself as a calvanist. However, as I look across this web site, even at the title of this post Where Calvanism Gets Romans 9 Wrong, I can see where this may come across as arrogant, and I can also see how some calvanist may be offended by this. However, I do not take offense, and I do not believe the author of this post or any other author on this site is speaking out of arrogance, even though most are speaking against that which I believe. It is my hope and belief that all are truly seeking the truth. Therefore I cannot take offense, or accuse someones postion as being arrogant, no matter how forcefully they make their case. In fact I truly appreciate when someone tells me they believe I\u2019m in error. This is why I do not understand the arrogant charge. In other words if I am in error, how can any one express this without coming across as arrogant? On the other hand if I am correct, in my stance, should I keep quiet, in order not to come across as arrogant? Again let me say how much I appreciate all of this, because I believe it keeps us all sharp and thinking. It also allows me to get outside my comfort zone where everyone holds my views. For this I am thankful. Now as for your point that the man centered is pure philosophy. I have to disagree, however I will concede, that both sides have theological, as well as philosophical arguments. At the risk of sounding arrogant here, let me say that most Arminians I engage, seem to me to have mostly philosophical arguments. In fact I recently read reviews of the book, Why I Am Not A Calvanist, and the reviewer seem to me to be Arminian, however he stated he was disappointed, in that most of the book was a philosophical, rather than exegetical argument. I encourage you to read the reviews of this book. Well again I cant express how much I appreciate all of this, and may God bless your, brother in Christ.\nJack, I disagree on the issue of the believer and sin. Hatred and lust are always temptations, but believers are not powerless against them (1 Cor 10:13).\n@I also believe the choice of Jacob includes national Israel, because Esau was neither. The nation of Israel came into being with the 12 sons of Jacob, which excludes Esau.\n@\u2026how would Esau, represent those who rely upon the law?\nI wasn\u2019t speaking of literal descendents or implying that Esau himself was a law-keeper. Esau only represents national/law-keeping Israel by way of analogy. Paul employed a similar analogy comparing the unbelieving Jews to another non-ancestor: namely, Ishmael in Galatians 4.\n\u201cNow Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present city of Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children.\u201d (Gal 4:25)\nIshmael was likewise neither a law-keeper nor member of the house of Israel, but he and his mother were nonetheless used analogously to show the inferiority of the old covenant. Both of these analogies are drawing comparisons, they\u2019re *not* directly identifying the heads or members of what they represent.\n@he chose Jacob over his twin brother for what reason?\nI don\u2019t think the specific reasons behind the choice were Paul\u2019s point, it was more related to the fact of divine prerogative.\n@What is it that we bring to the table as far as our justification is concerned?\nWe believe, and are thus justified by faith. Believing is distinct from justification (the former we do, the latter God does), but is a precondition.\n@I agree that Jacod and Esau represent two distint peoples, Jaccob national and spiritual Israel, and Esau those outside of both. In other words those who are later referred to as gentiles.\nThat would imply that the law-keeping Jews were saved and the Gentiles were without hope, subverting Paul\u2019s explanation of why many Gentiles obtained mercy while many Jews did not.\n@In the same way there is no desire or effort on our part.\nThat interpretation is party based upon a doubtful translation.\n@it seems to me Esau did absolutely nothing wrong\nJPC addressed that pretty adequately below.\n@J.C. states, Calvanist, (and by the way I would never refer to myself as a calvanist) make God out to be a nepotistic uncle doing everything toward salvation for His favorites. This is a complete misunderstaning, at best, a complete misrepresntation at worst.\nAlright, then let\u2019s see if your description shows mine to be inaccurate\u2026.\n@God could wipe the whole race completely out.\nNo disagreement from anyone there.\n@However, God chose to save His creation, and found a way to be just, and the justifier of the ungodly. He does this through the elect.\nAKA His favorites.\n@The elect desrve, the same fate as those who are not elect.\nAgain, no dispute.\n@Now there are those that will say this is not fair. My question is, do you really want God to be fair?\nWhich is beside my point.\n@I fairly deserve death. Therefore I am not one of God\u2019s favorites, He has no reason to love me.\nThat doesn\u2019t follow: you deserving death has nothing to do with whether you\u2019re one of the favorites. A person behaving nepotistically often gives his favorites benefits they don\u2019t deserve.\n@the same mighty power it took to raise Chrst from physical death, is the same power it took to raise us from spiritual death.\nTrue, but also beside the point. In your counter, you\u2019ve thus far not demonstrated how my comparison (of Calvinism portraying God nepotistically) is inaccurate or misrepresentative.\n@how are we born again?\nBy the operation of the Holy Spirit through faith.\n@what did you do in your physical birth?\nI turned so my shoulders could fit out of the birth canal (seriously- http://weber.ucsd.edu/~dkjordan/resources/clarifications/HumanBirth.html), and apparently tucked my chin (http://spinningbabies.com/baby-positions/flexion-or-a-tucked-chin). Contrary to popular myths among monergists, birth is typically quite a synergistic process. As pertaining to spiritual things, I did not bring myself to life, but was brought to life by the Spirit through faith. The operation of the Spirit is not to be confused with what was required by God before the Spirit so worked.\n@What discessions did you make? Did you choose where you were born, to whom, or your birth date? No, and it is the same with those born of the Spirit.\nYou\u2019re over-stretching the analogy: even if true, no decisions preceding physical birth doesn\u2019t imply no decisions preceding being born from above.\nAlso, Abraham\u2019s covenant was bilateral. God explicitly stated that He so blessed Abraham because he obeyed (which he did by faith):\n\u201c\u2026and said: \u201cBy Myself I have sworn, says the Lord, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son\u2013 \u201cblessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies.\u201dIn your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.\u201d (Genesis 22:16-18)\nHebrews also implies that he obtained the promise through faith and patience.\n\u201c\u2026so that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises. For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater by whom to swear, he swore by himself, saying, \u201cSurely I will bless you and multiply you.\u201d And thus Abraham, having patiently waited, obtained the promise.\u201d (Hebrews 6:12-15)\nJC I believe you are incorrect in your analogy of Hagar and Ishmael. Remember, God had promised Abraham a son, through Sarah, after waiting for the promise, and it not forth coming, Abraham and Sarah decide to help God out, in other words do something for God. Therefore, they come up with the plan to have Hagar bring forth this son using their own efforts. However God had promised, and therefore it would be God who brought forth the son of promise. This fits well with Paul\u2019s analogy. Isaac is the son of promise, Ishmael is cast out. Therefore we can not obtain what God has promised through our own efforts. @he chose Jacob over his twin brother for what reason?\nI don\u2019t think the specific reasons behind the choice were Paul\u2019s point, it was more related to the fact of divine prerogative. Here you seem to be making my point for me. I just looked the word prerogative up, and a synonym for prerogative is the word choice. Therefore it was God\u2019s choice in choosing Jacob over Esau.\nWe believe, and are thus justified by faith. Believing is distinct from justification (the former we do, the latter God does), but is a precondition. As I\u2019ve stated earlier, Paul tells that our faith is a gift from God. Either, you are someone else responded, that faith being a gift, means that Faith is given by God in the sense that He enables sinners to believe in spite of their fallen nature. Now I can only believe then, that you are saying that He gives all sinners this ability. If this is in fact the case, would I not therefore have room to boast? If in fact He gives all this ability, and some use this ability to reject and I use mine to accept, I could say I obtained it through my desire, that God enable me with while others were not as smart. I would also ask, what of those who never hear the Gospel? @I agree that Jacod and Esau represent two distint peoples, Jaccob national and spiritual Israel, and Esau those outside of both. In other words those who are later referred to as gentiles.\nThat would imply that the law-keeping Jews were saved and the Gentiles were without hope, subverting Paul\u2019s explanation of why many Gentiles obtained mercy while many Jews did not. I have responded to this in former response, explaining the 2 covenants, the covenant of promise vs. the covenant of works or law. You seem to be placing the elect in a higher regard than God\u2019s creation. He did not save the elect because of His favorites, but rather to save His creation. It was the same with Noah and his family, God saved the human race through one family. I really cannot see how you are saying I\u2019m stretching the analogy of birth from above, when Jesus specifically, uses the analogy of the wind blowing where it may, and its the same with the Holy Spirit. Well I\u2019d love to continue but have time restraints, at this time. Again thanks so much\nPaul Waterman, on February 25, 2012 at 9:35 pm said:\nDear Jack Hanley,\n\u201cBefore Jacob, God had made a covenant with Abraham Gen.15. This covenant, God made with Abraham was a unilateral covenant, meaning this covenant depended on God alone. Usually a covenant is made between to parties, with both sides promising to keep the stipulations, (if you will do this, I will inturn do this.)\u201d\nMy statement is directed at your perception above that the Gen. 15 covenant with Abraham was \u201cunilateral\u201d in contrast to some other covenants which you indicate were bilateral.\nI have heard seminary graduates speak in similar terms, but I usually cringe when I hear that kind of assertion about covenants with Abraham, because I personally do not perceive any of the covenants with Abraham to have been one-sided (unilateral). From a microscopic perspective I can agree with your statement, but from a macroscopic perspective I do take exception. Please consider my point of view below.\nMy understanding of covenants in Scripture is that very often a later covenant is the result of a previous covenant. In the case of Genesis 15, that covenant (from my perception) is an expansion of the Genesis 12 covenant which the Lord made with Abram. The Genesis 12 covenant, Jack Hanley, I would assume you would agree is bilateral, because Abram\u2019s covenantal role was to leave Ur and travel to the land the Lord showed him (Gen. 12:1). Abram, we discover, believed the Lord and some years later did travel to the land the Lord showed him. Abram fulfilled his part of the Genesis 12 covenant which was to believe the Lord by following Him to the land of Canaan. The consequence of Abram\u2019s belief would be that he would become a great nation (Gen. 12:2). The Genesis 15 covenant appears to be an expansion or explanation of the clause in the Genesis 12 covenant that Abram\u2019s believing obedience would result in his becoming a great nation. Abram did not fully understand the terms of the Genesis 12 covenant concerning his own patriarchal role for the great nation, especially in light of his own childless condition. It appears to me that Genesis 15 expands or clarifies the terms in the Genesis 12:1-3 covenant which Abram had already fulfilled. Genesis 15 expands or explains the covenantal clause in Genesis 12:2 concerning Abram\u2019s role for the great nation, clarifying that Abram would be the patriarch of that great nation through a biological son (Gen. 15:4).\nIn summary, the Genesis 15 covenant, from my perspective, expands and clarifies Abram\u2019s role as a biological progenitor for the \u201cgreat nation\u201d Abram was informed about in the previous covenant in Genesis 12:2. Since Abram had fulfilled the terms of the Genesis 12 covenant, the Genesis 15 covenant explains how the \u201cgreat nation\u201d clause had originally been intended to be understood by the Lord.\nSo I repeat, that from a microscopic perspective the Genesis 15 covenant was unilateral, as you stated, but from a wider macroscopic perspective it appears to have been bilateral, with Abram having already fulfilled his personal covenantal role in the Genesis 12 contract which would include (in the divine plan) the later clarifying terms of the Genesis 15:4 covenant which the Lord had originally intended, but which had been given without explanation in Genesis 12:2.\nThe Scriptures included at the conclusion of J.C. Thiodaux\u2019s comments above I believe reinforce a macroscopic perspective (Genesis 22:16-18, Hebrews 6:12-15).\nJ.C. Thibodaux, on February 25, 2012 at 7:59 pm\nJack Hanley, may the Lord bless you as you pursue His truth.\nHayden Jackson, on February 26, 2012 at 6:28 pm said:\nI notice that both sides of this discussion are using the term chosen to refer to the people God had chosen to be His people, whether it be because of Him showing \u201cfavor,\u201d which I see as an incorrect term because God does not show favor or have favorites but shows mercy on those who deserve death and graciously gives them life. But both sides use the term chosen to refer to those who are His people both because of \u201cfavor\u201d and because of the faith which they show they have in God, but in scripture God always chooses those who are lowly poor and weak, even the nation of Israel was nothingbefore God uplifted them. God chooses these people to show how great and mighty He is, and He chooses us for the same reason, to site that He isthe sovereign God and no thing nor person can change His will, if He wants Israel to win in battle they well win, and if He desires and has it planned beforehand that you and I are to come to Christ, there is nothing we can do to help our case or hurt it because God is sovereign and has control over all, He decides on whether we take another breath or not, why can He not choose whether or nit that breath goes on for eternity? He says, \u201cI will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.\u201d Paul quotes this in Romans and Paul realizes the great compassion and mercy that God showed him on that road to Damascus, when Paul who was out to destroy the church and kill the Christians had a dramatic change and decided to pursue and follow Christ wholeheartedly. That kind of change of heart does not happen without divine intervention and God Himself through the Holy Spirit changing the heart and mind of whom He desires. And because God is sovereign and can choose whomever He desires, He could very easily choose everyone but if He did that He would no longer be just but He chooses some of this wretched human race who do nothing but sin daily against Him and saves them making the mercy and the compassion He shows even greater.\nPaul W., on February 26, 2012 at 9:51 pm said:\n\u201cAs I\u2019ve stated earlier, Paul tells that our faith is a gift from God.

That kind of view would suggest to me we are talking about robots, or computers, or artificial intelligence, not about moral human beings, if I am interpreting your implications properly.\nMay the Lord bless your pursuit of truth.\n@I believe you are incorrect in your analogy of Hagar and Ishmael.\nIt was Paul\u2019s analogy, not mine. And if you read the context of Galatians 4, responding to those who want to put Christians under the law, he clearly is comparing the old and new covenants (along with their members):\n\u201cTell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not hear the law? For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman, the other by a freewoman. But he [who was] of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and he of the freewoman through promise, which things are symbolic. For these are the two covenants: the one from Mount Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar\u2026.\u201d (Gal 4:21-24)\n@I just looked the word prerogative up, and a synonym for prerogative is the word choice.\nThe sense of the term I was using was, \u201can exclusive right, privilege, etc., exercised by virtue of rank, office, or the like: the prerogatives of a senator.\u201d (src: dictionary.com) No one\u2019s arguing that God didn\u2019t choose Jacob.\n@Now I can only believe then, that you are saying that He gives all sinners this ability.\nI\u2019m not sure how that would follow from my statements.\n@If this is in fact the case, would I not therefore have room to boast?\nEven if He enabled all, no, because one\u2019s faith is of no intrinsic value, and therefore not boastworthy.\n@If in fact He gives all this ability, and some use this ability to reject and I use mine to accept, I could say I obtained it through my desire, that God enable me with while others were not as smart.\nI\u2019ve noted this fallacy before\u2026.\n@I would also ask, what of those who never hear the Gospel?\n@You seem to be placing the elect in a higher regard than God\u2019s creation. He did not save the elect because of His favorites, but rather to save His creation.\nI\u2019m not sure what you mean. The elect (per Calvinism/Monergism) are God\u2019s unconditional favorites, and He saves them while letting all others perish eternally without offering them even a glimmer of genuine hope.\n@It was the same with Noah and his family, God saved the human race through one family.\nNoah walked by faith in God (Hebrews 11:7), his neighbors did not. Hardly the picture of unconditional election.\n@I really cannot see how you are saying I\u2019m stretching the analogy of birth from above, when Jesus specifically, uses the analogy of the wind blowing where it may, and its the same with the Holy Spirit.\nI not sure what Christ\u2019s analogous comparison of being born of the Spirit to the wind blowing has to do with justifying the idea that physical and spiritual birth must be identical in terms of choices. Our being brought to spiritual life is compared to birth because we are new creations in Christ, trying to make the two phenomena fit perfectly much farther beyond that is akin to trying to find \u201cspiritual amniotic fluid\u201d and \u201cspiritual Braxton Hicks contractions.\u201d\nTo underscore my point of the ridiculousness of such analogy-stretching even further, from what we now know of the human birthing process, it\u2019s actually hormonal changes in the child that trigger birth, not the mother.\n\u201cAlthough the exact mechanism of the onset of labor, the sequence of events that leads to birth, is not well understood, scientists know that changing hormone levels in the developing fetus initiate this process.\u201d (Alters, S.; \u201cBiology: Understanding Life\u201d [3rd Ed.], pp. 524)\n@whether it be because of Him showing \u201cfavor,\u201d which I see as an incorrect term because God does not show favor or have favorites but shows mercy on those who deserve death and graciously gives them life.\nWhich He does to some, but not others on an entirely (according to Calvinism) unconditional basis. Also known as \u201cplaying favorites.\u201d\nNo one is arguing against God\u2019s sovereignty. God being Sovereign (and thus having prerogative in His choices) doesn\u2019t imply that He chooses unconditionally.\nOkay, I am certainly not going to attempt to respond to every point here, that would be impossible for me. On top of this it seems apparent ,that we would continue on and on until Christ returns. First allow me to respond to the Gen. 12 passage referred to above. After this I will simply attempt to explain my understanding of how we are justified. The reason we are dealing with the Gen.15 covenant, is because it is here that God takes all the stipulations of the covenant upon Himself, not only this He also calls upon the curses to fall upon Him, and Him alone. This demonstrates, the fulfillment of the covenant depends on God alone, it did not in any way depend on Abraham, Abraham did not participate in the ritual, he was only a witness. Now even if you reach back to Gen. 12 to what you seem to be referring to as the works of Abraham, and the part that depended on him, this would not overthrow the fact, that here in Gen. 15 God is taking on the full responsibility for the promise of fulfillment apart from Abraham. The reason for referring to this covenant, was to answer the question as to whether, the choosing of Jacob ensured the salvation of all of Israel. From here I went on to explain the covenant with all of Israel at Sinai, and how this was a bilateral covenant, meaning the fulfillment of this covenant depended on both God and the people of Israel. The people of Israel failed, as we all have. The reason for this is that, WE are not promise keepers, rather, we are promise breakers. There is only One Promise Keeper, which is God. This means any covenant, that depends on our promise will fail. Even if the small little thing I add is faith, because at times my faith is great at other times my faith is weak, therefore I have to look away from myself and my own efforts, and cling to the One and Only True Promise Keeper. This is what I believe Paul is saying in Romans and Galatians. In other words the Jews who depend on their works of the law, or the fact they were physical descendants, are not the true Israel, rather the true Israel are only those who have the faith of Abraham, which is faith in God as the Promise Keeper. This faith is then credited as righteousness. Now this account that God credited this righteousness to, was empty until it was credited by God. Therefore I do not want to be clothed with a righteousness of my own, rather I want to rid myself of my filthy rags and be clothed with the righteousness that is of Christ alone from first to last. I can add nothing to the finished work of God through Jesus Christ! Anything I would add would be rubbish, which is really a nice way of putting it. Now as I have conversed, and read the responses, on this site, I believe I have gathered, that none would say that we are saved by works. I have asked then, what is it that we bring to the table as far as our justification is concerned? Unless I have missed it the only response I can recall is faith. Surely by now, you all realize, my next question would be, does this faith merit our salvation? Which I am sure the answer would be no. Also I believe (and someone correct me if I am wrong) that we all agree, that no one can come to Christ apart from the work of the Holy Spirit. Therefore it seems to me the dividing question will be how do we obtain faith? Now as I\u2019ve stated in an earlier response, I do not believe our problem is free will. Our problem is our condition, and I believe that our condition, according to Paul and other passages, is that we are dead to spiritual things, before our salvation. Now if this is true then, we cannot possibly do anything in this condition toward our salvation, not even faith. A dead person cannot have faith. Therefore we need to understand as we preach the Gospel to unbelievers, that we are preaching to the dead, and our message will have no affect unless God through the Holy Spirit raises the dead. I believe we serve a God that raises the dead, I also believe we serve a God who creates out of nothing. This being said, I do not believe we need God\u2019s help toward our salvation, rather what I believe we need, is Divine rescue. This means I do not believe we bring anything to the table as far as our justification is concerned, not even faith. Because I believe when God raises us to spiritual life all these things naturally come with that new life God has given. As the hymn writer states, \u201cNothing in my hands I bring, simply to thy cross I cling, naked look to the for dress, helpless look to thee for grace, foul I to thy fountain fly, wash me savior or I die. Amen\nOkay, as I said, I cannot respond to every point, however, I am compelled to respond to J.C. here on this one point. You say, It was Paul\u2019s analogy, not mine. And if you read the context of Galatians 4, responding to those who want to put Christians under the law, he clearly is comparing the old and new covenants (along with their members):\nHowever, if you remember I was responding to an earlier post you had made, in which you say,\nNow, I surely understand that this was Paul analogy, however, this is not where I believe the error occurs. I believe, the error, is in the fact that Ishmael, and Isaac, are the head of those they represent in this analogy. Ishmael, does represent those under the law, in that he was conceived, by human effort. In other words Abraham, and Sarah attempted to bring about the promise through their own efforts, which represents the law. However, God is the only one that can bring about this promise, therefore Isaac is the child of promise, and represents those who are not enslaved to their on efforts i.e. law, but rather are those who grab a hold to the God of Promise. This is what the verse you quote actually says, But he [who was] of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and he of the freewoman through promise, which things are symbolic. Now I take the phrase born according to the flesh to mean, human effort.\nFor starters, what you\u2019re inferring from Genesis 15 isn\u2019t supported by any clear, textual evidence. Secondly, whatever its significance is, it cannot contradict what is clearly conveyed in scripture. It\u2019s already been cited from Hebrews 6 that Abraham had to endure patiently to obtain the promise. In other words, the covenant wasn\u2019t strictly unilateral. Quoting again:\n@This means any covenant, that depends on our promise will fail. Even if the small little thing I add is faith, because at times my faith is great at other times my faith is weak\u2026.\nThis downplays God\u2019s work through the Holy Spirit in enabling us to follow God. It seems a bit absurd to claim that even a person given strength to endure by the Spirit will necessarily fail to abide in Christ.\n@therefore I have to look away from myself and my own efforts, and cling to the One and Only True Promise Keeper.\nAlso known as \u201cfaith.\u201d Your logic so far is proving self-defeating.\n@does this faith merit our salvation?\n@Also I believe\u2026that we all agree, that no one can come to Christ apart from the work of the Holy Spirit.\n@according to Paul and other passages, is that we are dead to spiritual things, before our salvation. Now if this is true then, we cannot possibly do anything in this condition toward our salvation, not even faith.\nBy God\u2019s grace, yes, we can believe despite our fallen nature.\n@A dead person cannot have faith.\nBut indeed he can if God enables him. If what you said were true, then no spiritually dead person could be brough to life, for it\u2019s through faith that we are raised to new life with Christ. Paul states this point in Colossians.\n@This means I do not believe we bring anything to the table as far as our justification is concerned, not even faith.\nThat\u2019s unscriptural: justification plainly is by faith. Having faith is synonymous with believing. God enables us to believe, but we do the believing, God doesn\u2019t believe for us. So we are doing something to be justified no matter how you slice it.\n@Ishmael, does represent those under the law, in that he was conceived, by human effort.\nThat is plainly incorrect, the analogy doesn\u2019t reflect human effort in general, Hagar and Ishmael clearly represent the law of Moses and those who put their confidence in it. The context of the passage (and much of the book for that matter) is obviously in reference to Mosaic law, and Paul explicitly identifies Hagar with the covenant as Sinai, (\u201cFor these are the two covenants: the one from Mount Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar\u2026.\u201d) not with general human attempts to be righteous (which existed long before the Sinaitic covenant).\nYou seem to continue to make my argument for me, the verse is clearly saying here God swore by Himself, since their was no one greater. In other words the promise depends on Him. And this is referring, (I might add) to Gen 15.\n@This downplays God\u2019s work through the Holy Spirit in enabling us to follow God. It seems a bit absurd to claim that even a person given strength to endure by the Spirit will necessarily fail to abide in Christ.\nI have not said we will fail to abide in Christ, what I actually said is sometimes my faith is great, sometimes my faith is weak. Now if there are those who have obtain a faith that is always continually strong, I can do nothing but congratulate. However, I have not yet reached this plateau. Therefore, I continue to struggle. I not only struggle, with a faith, that is sometimes weak and, other times strong, I also continue to find myself struggling against sin. These sins I struggle with are not only acts I find myself committing, but are also things I leave undone. Therefore I find myself eagerly awaiting the return of Christ, because I hope for something I have not yet obtained.\n@Also known as \u201cfaith.\u201d Your logic so far is proving self-defeating.\nIt seems to me that your argument is self defeating, I believe you have said, God enables us to believe, but we do the believing. This statement seems to me to be completely self defeating. Surely, God enables us to believe, and we do the believing, but we believe, because God is enabling us.\n@ But indeed he can if God enables him. If what you said were true, then no spiritually dead person could be brough to life, for it\u2019s through faith that we are raised to new life with Christ. Paul states this point in Colossians.\nThis is another point that seems self defeating. As I have already stated, certainly God enables the spiritually dead to believe, He does this by raising them to spiritual life. One then, that has been raised to spiritual life, also receives, all things pertaining, to this life including faith. In other words a person who is spiritually dead cannot possibly have faith. On the other hand, a person who has been raised to spiritual life will have faith, because it is not possible to be spiritually alive without faith being given.\n@ By God\u2019s grace, yes, we can believe despite our fallen nature.\nAgain, self defeating. We can only believe by God\u2019s grace, if this grace is taken away we cannot believe. So then it is only by God\u2019s grace that we believe.\n@That is plainly incorrect, the analogy doesn\u2019t reflect human effort in general, Hagar and Ishmael clearly represent the law of Moses and those who put their confidence in it. The context of the passage (and much of the book for that matter) is obviously in reference to Mosaic law, and Paul explicitly identifies Hagar with the covenant as Sinai, (\u201cFor these are the two covenants: the one from Mount Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar\u2026.\u201d) not with general human attempts to be righteous (which existed long before the Sinaitic covenant).\nIt seems relevant to me that you start out here by saying, \u201cThis is PLAINLY incorrect\u201d then go on to say, \u201cthe analogy doesn\u2019t reflect human effort in GENERAL. However, your analogy, to your own admission, does not allow the heads to fully represent those it is intended to, neither in this analogy nor the analogy you use for Jacob and Esau. However the analogy I have presented allows these heads to fully represent those intended. Here in this analogy Ishmael and Hagar both represent the out come of those who depend on human effort,(referring to the Mosaic law) to bring forth a promise only God can supply.\nJ.C. Thibodaux, on February 28, 2012 at 10:30 pm said:\nGod swearing by Himself doesn\u2019t contradict the fact that Abraham had to patiently endure to obtain the promise. You are focusing on only one portion and missing the point of what was said concerning Abraham. The assertions that the spiritually dead cannot believe, or that God brings them to life that they may believe have no scriptural basis.\n@I have not said we will fail to abide in Christ\nThere\u2019s not much other way I know to take the phrase, \u201cThis means any covenant, that depends on our promise will fail. Even if the small little thing I add is faith\u201d.\n@I believe you have said, God enables us to believe, but we do the believing. This statement seems to me to be completely self defeating. Surely, God enables us to believe, and we do the believing, but we believe, because God is enabling us.\nI\u2019m sorry Jack, but your statement here is completely incoherent. You\u2019ve not even remotely shown how God enabling us to believe is somehow \u201cself-defeating\u201d if we do so.\nJCT: By God\u2019s grace, yes, we can believe despite our fallen nature.\nJH: Again, self defeating. We can only believe by God\u2019s grace, if this grace is taken away we cannot believe. So then it is only by God\u2019s grace that we believe.\nYou\u2019re really not making a lot of sense here either. I said nothing about grace being taken away, and already acknowledged that we believe by grace. For you to say that is self-defeating is simply nonsensical.\n@However, your analogy, to your own admission, does not allow the heads to fully represent those it is intended to\nIncorrect, I never stated anything even remotely akin to the idea that they don\u2019t reflect who they\u2019re intended to.\n@Here in this analogy Ishmael and Hagar both represent the out come of those who depend on human effort,(referring to the Mosaic law) to bring forth a promise only God can supply.\nNo, in his explanation of his analogy Paul doesn\u2019t equate Hagar/Ishmael with general \u201chuman effort,\u201d but to the Mosaic law specifically. As I pointed out above, he explicitly identifies Hagar with the covenant at Sinai.\n\u201cFor these are the two covenants: the one from Mount Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar\u2026.\u201d (Galatians 4:24)\nTrying to stretch it into something other than the law is textually unwarranted.\nJack Hanley, on February 29, 2012 at 12:12 am said:\nThese are all your comments\nJack, of course they\u2019re my comments, and you\u2019ll notice that neither one indicates anything remotely like Esau and Hagar/Ishmael not analogously reflecting who they\u2019re supposed to.\nEsau, in Romans 9, analogously represents national Israel in its dependence upon the law, as the contextually apparent subject matter greatly implies (cf vs 1-8, 27, 30-32); and Hagar in Galatians 4 is representative of the Mosaic law, as Paul explicitly states (vs 24-25). Who/what the figures used in analogies are supposed to represent is determined by context, not your preconceived notions.\nWhen you write a long post, could you break it up into paragraphs please? It makes it easier to read and respond to.\nIt seems curious how your first statement reads\n@Incorrect, I never stated anything even remotely akin to the idea that they don\u2019t reflect who they\u2019re intended to.\nIn the statement, here today, you have inserted the word analogously, which is exactly my point. If you will notice my exact statement was\nJH. your analogy, to your own admission, does not allow the heads to fully represent those it is intended to.\nNow the only difference I see here, is that I used the 2 words fully represent, whereas you would rather me say, your analogy only analogously reflects, those intended. But I do not see how getting hung up on terminology is beneficial to the conversation. In fact it seems to be a tactic to divert the conversation from the original topic. At any rate this will allow me to restate my point, being careful to use the correct terminology.\nYour analogy to your own admission, allows the heads, to only analogously, reflect those intended, whereas the analogy I have presented allows these heads to fully represent those intended. Jacob fully represents, national, and spiritual Israel. Esau, fully represents those outside. True Israel are only those who have the same faith, as Abraham. Those who are not true Israel are those who depend on human effort through the law. Those outside of both national and spiritual Israel, represented by Esau, who have the same faith as Abraham, are now being allowed into the covenant and are considered children, by the faith God has given. In the same way Hagar fully represents the old covenant, in that the child she bore was by human effort, i.e. law, whereas the child Sarah bore was the child of promise.\n@Your analogy to your own admission, allows the heads, to only analogously, reflect those intended\nNo kidding. I\u2019m just crazy enough to think that analogies usually portray things analogously.\n@the analogy I have presented allows these heads to fully represent those intended.\nExcept you\u2019ve only asserted what you think the intention should be without evidence, which is pointless in terms of your view\u2019s persuasiveness, since analogies by definition aren\u2019t perfect reflections of what they represent -otherwise they\u2019d be identities.\n@Jacob fully represents, national, and spiritual Israel. Esau, fully represents those outside.\nWhich completely violates the context of Paul\u2019s discussion about many Jews not receiving the promises, as I\u2019ve already pointed out. Further, if Jacob represented national Israel as well, then all national Jews would also be saved even if they didn\u2019t believe in Christ, so your interpretation is beyond absurd.\n@In the same way Hagar fully represents the old covenant\nBut Hagar wasn\u2019t under the old [Mosaic] covenant. There goes your \u201cfully\u201d representative analogy.\n@in that the child she bore was by human effort, i.e. law\nYour attempts to twist the Mosaic law into meaning any kind of human effort have no logical or scriptural support whatsoever. You\u2019re simply imposing unbiblical concepts onto the text, as I\u2019ve repeatedly demonstrated.\nSavedByGrace, on February 29, 2012 at 10:51 pm said:\nJC, in an early commented you argued that technically, your own birth was synergistic. Do you really think that was the context Christ was hoping people would understand in John chapter 3?\nPaul W., on March 1, 2012 at 4:02 am said:\n\u201cTherefore it seems to me the dividing question will be how do we obtain faith? Now as I\u2019ve stated in an earlier response, I do not believe our problem is free will. Our problem is our condition, and I believe that our condition, according to Paul and other passages, is that we are dead to spiritual things, before our salvation. Now if this is true then, we cannot possibly do anything in this condition toward our salvation, not even faith. A dead person cannot have faith.\u201d\nThe point I am attempting to address in your comment above is your perception about the state of a dead individual and their inability to do anything.\nI am uncertain as to your persuasion concerning the state of the soul at death. It sounds as if you hold to the doctrine of \u201csoul sleep\u201d which teaches that the soul is in a suspended state of unconsciousness after physical death. Paul taught that if we are absent from the body we are present with the Lord. During the state of death souls are completely conscious and are able to perform many functions, according to Scripture. Consider the story Messiah told about the rich man and the beggar in Abraham\u2019s bosom. Notice the rich man was in torment and wanted some relief and requested that relief. Consider also the souls under the altar at the fifth seal in Rev. 6:9-11. They had been slain so they were dead, but their souls were completely conscious, and they requested to be avenged.\nJack, if you are an adherent to a group that teaches the soul is unconscious at death, please consider the Scriptural evidence that souls are completely conscious and capable of decision and desire, even in the midst of a condition where their bodies are in the grave.\nTo attempt to teach that \u201csoul sleep\u201d makes it impossible for those dead in sins to be capable of anything is not biblical, as the Scriptures above will attest. Dead people are capable of many things, including desire, and their souls are completely conscious, despite the fact their bodies may be in the grave, and even may have decayed!\nSavedByGrace, on March 1, 2012 at 4:53 am said:\nI think from reading that Jack\u2019s position is very clear. I\u2019m sorry Paul, but as a bystander I simply see your comments as arbitrary, tangental, and thus not overly helpful in regards to furthering the discussion.\nThere is an overarching agreement between both sides: the individual prior to God\u2019s enabling is spiritually \u201cdead.\u201d Therefore they cannot understand the gospel correctly, as to make a saving decision about it (i.e., respond correctly in faith and repentance). In other words, they will not respond correctly to the gospel because they can not. This is manifested in a clinging to sin and a determination to reject Christ and His gospel at the expense of their soul. It is not that a person can do nothing at all, but rather that they never do what they are supposed to do.\nThen, there are two opinions to how this issue is solved. 1) does God save the sinner through regeneration so that they can (and will) finally understand, repent, believe, and cling to Christ. or 2) does God grant a quasi-regeneration, or, partial regeneration, so as to enable (or \u201cliberate\u201d) the person to finally make a decision for Christ. If the decision is correct, they are then fully reborn, if they continue to reject, the partial-regeneration is taken away and they remain in their deadness. (until perhaps the gospel is preached again so that they are granted another partial-regeneration and thus another option to believe / repent or not).\nJ.C. compared the later, which is the position of this site, to a mother giving birth. The mother\u2019s birth is synergistic, as the baby \u201ctucks its chin\u201d and \u201cturns its shoulders\u201d to help the mother birth him. In the spiritual birth, faith and repentance (which lead to the new birth) are being likened to a the baby \u201ctucking its chin\u201d and \u201cturning its shoulders.\u201d In the spiritual birth, the result is God blessing and granting the new birth based on these actions. In the human birth, the result is that the (well informed) mother should bless her son / daughter by saying something along the lines of, \u201cThank you dear, I really couldn\u2019t have done it without you. Even though you are just a baby, you truly can tuck you chin and turn your shoulders with the best of them.\u201d\nNow, is that really what Christ was trying to get across in Jn3 w/ the new birth? \u201cListen up Nicodemus, you know how a baby tucks its chin and turns its shoulder, so likewise you must choose me and repent. This is why the wind blows where it wishes\u2026\u201d It appears to me that this might be a case of an individual \u201cforcing their theology\u201d on the text, something that calvinists, like myself, are continually accused of doing.\nNevertheless, I\u2019m interested to hearing more about this analogy, who knows it may be the determining factor that leads me to arminianism.\nDear Jack Hanley and SavedByGrace,\nA correction to my description of \u201csoul sleep\u201d in my previous post is needed. I should not have described \u201csoul sleep\u201d as a \u201csuspended state of unconsciousness\u201d but rather as \u201csuspended state of consciousness\u201d or as \u201ca prolonged state of unconsciousness\u201d to be correct.\n\u201cTherefore they cannot understand the gospel correctly, as to make a saving decision about it (i.e., respond correctly in faith and repentance). In other words, they will not respond correctly to the gospel because they can not.\u201d\nI wish to respond to your \u201cinability\u201d premise above. Jack and you, SavedByGrace, appear to share what I consider to be an incorrect interpretation of Ephesians 2:8-9 in which you both apparently interpret \u201cfaith\u201d to be the subject which is the \u201cgift\u201d of God. I have always interpreted \u201csaved\u201d as the gift of God. It is true that God has given to every man a measure of faith, and there is the gift of miraculous faith whereby miraculous works are performed, and faith does come by hearing the Word of God. But the subject appears to me to be \u201csaved\u201d which is the gift of God, and \u201csaved\u201d appears to me to be the subject which is described as \u201cnot of works, lest any man should boast\u201d in Ephesians 2:8-9.\nIf it is \u201csaved\u201d which is the \u201cgift\u201d in Ephesians 2:8-9, then like all \u201cgifts\u201d the gift of salvation can be accepted or rejected. It is God who offers the gift, and there is no merit in accepting a freely offered gift. Accepting an offered gift is simply trusting or having faith in the genuineness of the Offerer. What makes a person accept the offer? It is what Jack Hanley so aptly addressed, desire. If someone is offered forgiveness, I do not care what kind of dunce they are spiritually, everyone knows what forgiveness is if they have lived on earth for any length of time! Some people relish forgiveness, and some maybe could care less. The one who accepts offered forgiveness is counted by the Lord as righteous.\nI believe the paragraph you quoted of mine is common ground between arminians and calvinists. Unless you are a pelagian, both sides believe that man, in his natural state, is unable. What we differ on is how God addresses this natural problem.\nRE: Eph2:8-9, many greek scholars, including William D. Mounce (author of \u201cBasics of Biblical Greek\u201d, Zodervan, 2009), say that actually, the pronoun in that verse refers to the whole of salvation, which includes faith (see pg. 3n2). In the sentence structure, the pronoun is a neutered demonstrative, the proceeding nouns (\u201cgrace\u201d \u201csaved\u201d & \u201cfaith\u201d) are all gendered with either a male or female gendering. In this sentence construction, the whole list that proceeded is the author\u2019s (Paul\u2019s) intended target for that pronoun. This is in line with William Mounce\u2019s interpretation, and many other scholars. Furthermore, not one relevant noun in that chapter is neutered. (But I\u2019m sure many people on this site will find 102 reason why they disagree with this. Nevertheless beware, this is the same approach that turned Acts 13:48 on its head (\u201cWhen the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and glorifying the word of the Lord; and as many as had been appointed to eternal life believed\u201d). The result of which was the \u201ccorrect\u201d mistranslation for Acts 13:48 being only in line with the New World\u2019s Translation (which is the Jehovah\u2019s Witness Bible). Yes, some arminian scholar\u2019s translations of Acts 13:48 does not fit ANY Christian Bibles, but is only in line with the Jehovah\u2019s Witness bible).\nPaul, do you think the context of Rom. 12, \u201cGod has given each a measure of faith\u201d refers to every single person on earth? Especially considering that this is at opening of the section of that letter that deals with practical application for the Christian\u2019s life. In other words, dealing with those people that are already converted. If God has given every single person a measure of faith, why would anyone go to hell? We are justified by faith. How do you find a way to determine that the faith spoken of in Rom. 12 is not saving faith?\nAnd if I took your view of faith, then only the smartest people would be saved. \u201cSome people relish forgiveness, some people do not.\u201d Some people are smart, some are not. Some feel guilty for sin, some do not. Some are spiritual, some are not. If this isn\u2019t a position that glorifies man, i don\u2019t know what is. This is certainly not in line with 1Cor1:26-31: \u201cFor consider you calling brethren, that there were not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble; but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world and the despised God has chosen, the things that are not, so that He may nullify the things that are, so that no man may boast before God. But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption, so that, just as it is written, \u201cLet him who boasts, boast in the LORD.\u201d\nPaul asked: \u201cWhat makes a person accept the offer?\u201d\nThe calvinist would say that being regenerated of the Spirit of God makes a person accept the offer, which is the natural response to the gospel for a person who has been born again. As John Bunyan said in his very last sermon, as a baby come out of the womb crying, so a new born Christian comes out of the womb crying, \u201cWhat must I do to be saved?\u201d\nJ.C. Thibodaux, on March 1, 2012 at 4:21 pm said:\n@SBG,\nYour interpretive method of reading merely to support your biases while ignoring authorial intent is starting to wear thin. I wasn\u2019t trying to draw a meaningful correlation between the baby\u2019s part in the birthing process and coming to faith synergistically. I was quite obviously showing the folly of drawing endless parallels between physical birth and spiritual (which Jack was attempting to do). If you\u2019d bothered to try and grasp the point of what you\u2019re reading rather than merely scrounging for \u201cammunition,\u201d that would have been readily apparent. Quoting me,\nOur being brought to spiritual life is compared to birth because we are new creations in Christ, trying to make the two phenomena fit perfectly much farther beyond that is akin to trying to find \u201cspiritual amniotic fluid\u201d and \u201cspiritual Braxton Hicks contractions.\u201d [emphasis added]\nI then went on to cite the synergistic aspects of physical birth to demonstrate how drawing such unwarranted parallels is certainly no aid to Calvinism either. Seriously, did you still not get a clue even when farcical terms like \u201cspiritual amniotic fluid\u201d were dropped? You then ridiculously twisted my words to insinuate that I was trying to draw comparisons between physical birth and spiritual to prove synergism -the very methodology that my observations were to disprove.\nPaul W., on March 1, 2012 at 6:00 pm said:\nDear SavedByGrace,\nYou are returning to an issue I raised with Jack Hanley. I appreciate the fine effort you placed in your posts above. I have been described as \u201cverbose\u201d in the past, so I will not respond to all issues you have done such an admirable job of raising, and I also am unwilling at this time to do all of the research to respond properly to all of the issues you have raised. I will revive one of my previous comments to Jack Hanley which reviews one of his statements, and which you seem to be particularly interested in.\nYou raise an issue \u2026 specifically the issue of desire:\n\u201cYour comment above about desire suggests to me that you may believe human individual desire originates from some decree by the Lord concerning which individuals have little personal choice, and that double predestination is the result of personal desire decreed for each individual by the Lord Himself. That kind of view would suggest to me we are talking about robots, or computers, or artificial intelligence, not about moral human beings, if I am interpreting your implications properly.\u201d (Paul W.)\nI have a question for you, SavedByGrace.\nWere Adam and Messiah the only moral individuals with moral choice in earth\u2019s history? That is how I understand your view of Calvinism, SavedByGrace. If being regenerated is required to enable individuals to exercise faith, as you suggest, I see little difference between that point of view and software coding added as a directive to some artificial intelligence program which \u201credirects\u201d its purpose. If, on the other hand, before regeneration a moral choice or evaluation is possible on the part of an individual (desire) to accept or reject an offered gift, then we have other moral beings truly capable of decision besides Adam and Messiah. Then we have true personal accountability for personal moral choices (desires).\nTo my way of understanding, the beatitudes point to the individual whose desires lead to acceptance of a freely offered gift, and therefore they are described as \u201cblessed\u201d ones. Their \u201cchoice\u201d begins with a moral evaluation about what is really desirable. The beatitudes appear to address the individual who desires and finds worthwhile the spiritual values addressed in the beatitudes. The person whose individual desires settle upon the values in the beatitudes is the one who eventually is willing to accept the freely offered gift of forgiveness. The acceptance of a free gift is not in itself meritorious, for a free gift is at the expense of the Giver, not the receiver, although free gifts may at times be very costly to a receiver (for example, accepting a brand new automobile worth $50,000 may require payments to the IRS, in addition to very costly insurance premiums).\nFaith, I believe, precedes regeneration. Trust in the character of the Offerer who presents a free gift I believe precedes the acceptance of the gift. The gift offered by the Lord is forgiveness. Accepting forgiveness results in one\u2019s status as being reckoned as righteous (saved, justified, regenerated).\nDoes faith precede regeneration? Or does regeneration precede faith? I subscribe to the former, you, SavedByGrace, to the latter. I suggest that Scripture pictures faith as preceding regeneration in explicit passages like Hebrews 11 where faith is the basis for approval (11:1-2, 39) and the basis for approaching the Lord (11:6). Regeneration appears to follow faith in an explicit passage like Luke 7:50.\nEven evil people can recognize good things (Matt. 7:11, Luke 11:13), so Satan was not totally untruthful when he told Eve, \u201c\u2026you will be like God, knowing good and evil.\u201d Satan could probably say that because of his own experience. If evil people can recognize good things as the Messiah Himself stated, cannot evil people recognize the value in a freely offered gift of forgiveness? Cannot evil people desire the spiritual values embodied in the beatitudes although they may be powerless to attain the righteousness those values lead to? This is not the glorification of man. This is recognizing man\u2019s moral character because he is made in the image of the Lord, and that image has not been completely destroyed by sin. Yes man\u2019s moral nature which is made in the image of the Lord has been greatly marred and damaged by sin, but it was never erased by sin. So people who are made in the Lord\u2019s image possess the moral ability to evaluate good and evil. Even evil people can discern good and evil, and they can desire good gifts not only for their children, but for themselves as well. Accepting a freely offered gift of forgiveness is not a meritorious act, but it is the mark of a moral person made in the image of the Lord who can recognize good and evil and has settled upon desiring a good gift (Matt. 7:11, Luke 11:13).\nJack Hanley, on March 1, 2012 at 7:29 pm said:\nWell I believe I have found something we can all agree on, and it is that this conversation has run its course. However I would like to make just a few more comments before my departure from this conversation.\nFirst to Paul W. I would also like to point out a passage of scripture to you concerning the dead. Eccl. 9:4-5 which reads,\nBut there is hope for whoever is joined with all the living, since, a live dog is better than a dead lion. For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing.\nAlso in reference to your citing of Luke 16 concerning the rich man and Lazarus, I believe Jesus was telling a story here to make a point, in other words this was not a report of actual events. Also notice, after the rich man asked that his friends be warned, he was told even if someone were to raise from the dead they would not believe.\nHaving said this, let me close out my side of this conversation by saying, whenever I am in conversation, it is always my attempt, to use phrases such as, \u201cit seems to me\u201d or \u201cI believe\u201d. I endeavor to stay away from dogmatic phrases such as \u201cyou are wrong\u201d or \u201cthat is incorrect\u201d or \u201cyour point has no scriptural support what so ever.\u201d Allow me to give a couple of examples. I may say, \u201cI believe you may be in error\u201d or \u201cit seems to me you are incorrect.\u201d The reason for this is not because I am not sure what I believe, but rather I realize I do not have a corner on the truth, and that it is certainly possible I could be in error myself. Therefore I attempt to keep the conversation open, desperately, seeking to understand others points of view, and also attempting to see how they are reaching this view. I certainly understand your position, because I have held the same position myself. In fact I remember saying to my dad, that if I ever found the doctrine of predestination correct, I would never darken the doors of a church again. However I have come to embrace the doctrine I once despised.\nNow this does not mean, that I believe I am now correct, and there is no way I could be in error. I certainly realize, the possibility of my being in error, even now. This is why I attempt to read a wide variety of material, even those materials that speak against that which I now believe. Because of this, when I happened to run across this site, I was eager to read some of the post. I also hoped, that joining the conversation might be helpful.\nI would like all to know that I have come to my position by what I believe to be careful and pray full study of God\u2019s word. It is also my belief and hope that all here, have reached their position in the same exact way. Therefore I continue to struggle, not only with my brothers and sisters, but also myself.\nAgain, let me apologize for the length here, but please allow me to make one last point. I have stated a number of times that I do not refer to myself as a Calvinist. I also do not believe I will ever consider myself Lutheran, Wesleyan, or place myself in any other camp, besides, Christian. If I were pushed into a corner the most I would say is that I am reformed, in that I believe in the cause of the reformation, and also hold to a good portion of what the reformers taught. The reason I would not put myself in any of these other camps, is because, I believe once you do this, you have painted yourself into a corner. Therefore, it would seem to me that you would no longer be in the position to search for truth, but rather be in the position, to only defend your position\nWell I certainly thank all for this opportunity your brother in Christ\nJ.C. Thibodaux, on March 1, 2012 at 10:11 pm said:\nThank you both for your input and replies. I have some concluding thoughts for both of you to consider in answer to your individual comments.\nJack, thanks for your shared views concerning Luke 16 on the rich man and Lazarus. Apparently you consider the narrative to be \u201cfiction,\u201d if I have rightly understood the inference I derive from your statements. Since you do not accept that narrative as a basis for fact, I would like to suggest some other passages for you to consider as a second witness for the consciousness of the dead, and would like to comment on Eccl. 9:4-5.\nJack Hanley said:\n\u201cI would also like to point out a passage of scripture to you concerning the dead. Eccl. 9:4-5 which reads,\nConcerning Ecclesiastes 9:4-5 I would point you to the commentary by John Gill, a Calvinist commentator who interprets the verse similarly to a footnote in my study Bible. The issue seems to be about dead persons and their knowledge, not about their inability to know because of any state of unconsciousness or soul sleep. John Gill the Reformed commentator states the \u201crighteous dead know much.\u201d\nSince the issue appears to be about knowledge, we can ask the question, \u201cWhat is it that the dead do not know?\u201d John Gill and my study Bible both suggest it is the current realm of existence where the living abide about which the dead are currently ignorant. My study Bible suggests context is crucial. Solomon\u2019s context is repeatedly stated throughout the book of Ecclesiastes as being the sphere of existence \u201cunder the sun.\u201d The wicked and righteous dead, it appears, are so preoccupied with their own spheres of existence, they are ignorant of current affairs \u201cunder the sun.\u201d John Gill\u2019s reformed comments can be viewed here:\nhttp://www.biblestudytools.com/commentaries/gills-exposition-of-the-bible/ecclesiastes-9-5.html\nIn addition, since you do not accept the implications in Luke 16 concerning the Rich Man and Lazarus, nor the account as actual, and apparently are holding out for a \u201csoul sleep\u201d type of interpretation by apparently interpreting the narrative on the order of pseudepigraphal stories, I would suggest you consider Messiah\u2019s transfiguration (Matt. 17).\nMessiah spoke with Moses at the transfiguration. Moses, as you may remember, was buried, apparently by the Lord, in Moab. The Lord is apparently credited with the burial Himself, but I would suggest Moses was buried by the angel Michael who contended with Satan over the body of Moses. Since Michael was one of the Lord\u2019s angels, the Lord may have instructed Michael to bury the body. Often, the work of servants or employees is attributed to the master or employer. Just as Solomon probably never personally laid one stone of the Temple, but is credited with building the Temple, so the Lord may be credited with the task of burying Moses because the Lord\u2019s angel Michael may have been instructed to carry out that task by the Lord Himself.\nMoses was fully conscious and awake at the transfiguration (Matt. 17), and was conversing with Messiah, despite the fact his body had apparently already decayed in Moab. That provides a second witness to the consciousness of the dead, if you reject Luke 16. Moses, the man whose body was buried at Moab, was conversing with Messiah at the transfiguration.\nIn addition, as you may recall, Messiah was questioned by Sadducees about which of seven husbands would have the woman as wife in the resurrection. The Sadducees didn\u2019t believe in the resurrection, so this was a \u201cstumper\u201d question. Messiah should have replied, \u201cGod is not the God of the dead, but of the sleeping.\u201d Instead, Messiah replied, \u201cGod is not the God of the dead, but of the living.\u201d I believe the inference is clear, the dead are conscious, not sleeping.\nTo you, SavedByGrace, I thank you for your quotation from Mounce. Concerning the Acts 13:48 passage in which you seem to suggest Arminians derive their translation from the New World Translation published by the Watchtower, I would suggest the truth is the other way around. Actually it may have been the Watchtower which derived their translation from Arminians. I can provide compelling evidence for this, but not any formal documentation. Please consider the following data.\nInformation I derived from the John Ankerberg website several years ago indicated the names of the Watchtower \u201ctranslators\u201d were known to insiders. Those \u201ctranslators\u201d of the Watchtower Bible are not identified by the Watchtower, possibly because of a very embarrassing reason: none of the \u201ctranslators\u201d was ever formally trained in biblical languages!\nIn doing research on the book of Revelation almost two decades ago, I came across a Watchtower volume in a library. I was curious about a particular issue. I examined the Watchtower volume, and to my surprise, there in print was the identical interpretation I had discovered among very few early futuristic interpreters of the Apocalypse. I was mystified. Some months later, while doing further research in another library, I discovered a volume in which the author identified one of the Watchtower\u2019s leaders as an ardent student of a prophecy book authored by Joseph Seiss, a Lutheran minister! I suddenly realized the truth, the Watchtower leader had concealed his source of information, and had adopted a Joseph Seiss interpretation of the Apocalypse into a Watchtower volume.\nAs you may know, Watchtower people are discouraged from reading any other religious literature other than official Watchtower dogma, yet Watchtower leaders are often guilty of violating the rule they require for their members. So I would suggest that the real truth is the other way around, the Watchtower \u201ctranslators\u201d borrowed from Arminians.\nexarmi, on March 3, 2012 at 5:27 am said:\nJust a casual observer here: Can I ,or am I able, to decide to trust in Jesus Christ after I am pronounced dead by the local authorities?\nThat is a wild claim to say the least. SBG apparently got this from White\u2019s debate with Dave Hunt in the book, \u201cDebating Calvinism\u201d in which White accuses Hunt of using the NWT in order to explain Acts 13:48. Hunt apparently did this in his book \u201cWhat Love is This?\u201d I can\u2019t be sure since I do not own that book and have not read it. I do own the \u201cDebating Calvinism\u201d book where White makes that claim against Hunt. Now, if Hunt did indeed appeal to the NWT, that was a terrible mistake on his part since that translation is unreliable and was \u201ctranslated\u201d by JWs who were ignorant of the dead languages. However, as you rightly point out, this does not imply that Arminians follow that translation and it is a huge leap in logic to make the claim that SBG does based on that blunder by Hunt (who I wouldn\u2019t even personally call an Arminian). If SBG has something else in mind besides Hunt\u2019s blunder, he really needs to document it or cease making such wild sweeping statements.\nActs 13:48 has been examined by many Arminian and non-Arminian scholars who know Greek very well and come to very different conclusions regarding the meaning of the passage. Here is a helpful link to two good articles on the pasage: https://arminianperspectives.wordpress.com/2012/01/12/acts-1348-two-non-calvinist-views/\nDear exarmi,\nTo respond to your question, Calvinists who press the analogy of being \u201cdead\u201d do so, I believe, in an incorrect manner similar to a group that believes in soul sleep. The problem is that they confuse the immaterial part of man with the material part of man, ascribing unconsciousness to the soul which should actually be ascribed to the dead body.\nCan you trust in the Messiah if you are dead in trespasses and sins? Many Calvinists who use what I would call a \u201csoul sleep\u201d illustration would say you must be regenerated first, then you will be able to believe and exercise faith after you have been spiritually resurrected, and you will be then sovereignly appointed faith which allows you to believe unto salvation. That is their understanding of the Bible.\nI do not know if you are speaking of yourself hypothetically or whether you are someone who is actually considering accepting the Lord\u2019s forgiveness, but I can suggest an analogy which, I believe, explains my own point of view which is derived from the Scriptures. My analogy would be Passover. As you may know, Passover began in Egypt after nine of the ten plagues had taken place. In order to protect Israel from the tenth plague, which would be the death of the firstborn throughout Egypt, the Lord provided a spiritual antidote which would be the slaying and consumption of a lamb according to certain specifications. In the Newer Covenant, the apostle Paul in 1 Cor. 5:7 stated that Messiah our Passover has been sacrificed. Paul was writing, presumably, to Gentiles in Corinth who were not Jewish, although there may have been some of Jewish descent among them. Passover pictures a synergistic, or cooperative relationship, yet at the same time also indicates a salvation from sin. Messiah was also called the Passover Lamb Who takes away the sin of the world.\nIf Israelites or Egyptians failed to use the prescribed antidote (a Passover Lamb slain and eaten according to specifications) the result would be the death of the firstborn in the household. The firstborn of each household symbolically represented the entire nation. The Lord named the nation of Israel as His firstborn son. No resurrection was required to use the Passover antidote. The antidote was used if people believed. If people did not believe the Lord, they could decide not to hold a Passover. There was action on both sides: the human side and the divine side. The people had to believe the antidote was real if they were going to take the trouble of holding a Passover. The Lord would send the death angel, but blood on the doorposts would signify the faith of the people inside. Faith preceded deliverance from death. I believe faith precedes deliverance from sin that brings death. So from the Passover perspective, I would say yes. I believe anyone whom the Lord is dealing with can trust the antidote is valid and then accept the Lord\u2019s antidote for deliverance from the bondage of sin, which He freely offers to all. This is often called the Arminian view, where the individual participates in accepting the freely offered forgiveness from the Lord.\nJack Hanley, on March 7, 2012 at 7:57 am said:\nI used to think the same thing. In other words I once thought that being dead in trespasses and sins, meant that we were totally and completely dependent on God for our salvation. However, this must not be the case, because as you can see the dead are not completely helpless. This does cause one to wonder though, does God actually save, or does He only make salvation possible?\nBut what do I know, because I also thought that the Passover as recorded in the Old Testament was Israel\u2019s deliverance from earthly Egypt which prefigured our deliverance from sin onto salvation, as we put our faith in the True Passover Lamb, which is Jesus Christ. In other words I guess I use to think we were to look back to the Old Testament Passover as symbolic. And God had nothing to do with the Israelites putting their faith in Him, just as He had nothing to do with hardening Pharaoh\u201ds heart.\nYour comments are full of non-sequinturs. Here\u2019s a good one: \u201cThis does cause one to wonder though, does God actually save, or does He only make salvation possible?\u201d The answer is that He does both. Do you really believe that Arminains do not believe that God actually saves anyone? How is it that you came to the conclusion that if God saves in a conditional and resistible manner rather than an unconditional and irresistible manner that this somehow means he does not \u201cactually\u201d save anyone? Please explain that logic so we can understand how your point is valid.\nLikewise, No one said we are not completely dependent on God for salvation. It is like you just ignore everything we have said and just continue with your Calvinist talking points and misrepresentations. That is unfortunate. And what is your point with the comments on the Passover? And who here, including exarmi, ever suggested that God has nothing to do with our putting faith in Him? In fact, if your comments were meant to address Paul W., how did you miss the fact that he said faith was a response from those \u201cthe Lord is dealing with.\u201d So again, where do you get the idea from anyone here that God has nothing to do with the Israelites putting faith in Him? Maybe you are in the wrong thread talking to the wrong people or something.\nGentlemen, brothers, I must submit an admonishment here after following this thread and a few others: I encourage you all to avoid the use of sarcasm in your apologetics. It does not serve one another in edification,persuasion, or heart-felt search for the truth. I say this as one who struggles with sarcasm, believe me I am a \u2018master sarcaster\u2019!\nMy question was not addressed to anyone specifically. I just wanted to get a yes/no response to the question frankly to understand how yall interpret Paul\u2019s use of it i.e. \u2018dead in trespasses and sin\u2019. Did he really mean dead? or is that word mis-translated?\nNow I do have to suggest that any mention of soul-sleep here is off on a tangent! I just don\u2019t get that! Thats a whole other discussion for which I am not convinced one way or the other.\nI will testify here that as my handle implies I identify myself as ex-arminian in that I once bristled with the notion of election,depravity etc. I followed my elder family members\u2019 teaching to the contrary from childhood to late adulthood. I had the utmost respect for their learned study. Then came the situation where I was finally tasked to once and for all put a stake in the heart of this Reformed doctrine stuff! I prayed that I would seek the truth no matter where it led and started reading the scriptures, admittedly some for the first time. The more I read the less I could continue defending a faith without first regeneration. I must admit that my first \u2018understanding\u2019 of salvation was based on a presupposition of the character of God that I deemed to be just and my \u2018reading\u2019 of scripture was going to fit that presupposition. I started seeing the preponderance of evidence in scripture tearing down all that I had been taught and had invested in. Yes it was embarrassing, depressing, and even disappointing, in that the people I loved and respected most (and I still do of course!) had misinformed me. But alas! on the other side of this discovery is joy and humility and a compassion for the lost.\nWhat it boils down to is I just didn\u2019t want to believe that God would choose some over others for salvation\u2026It just ain\u2019t fair! Then I am reminded of Job 38:3 \u201cDress for action like a man I will question you, and you make it known to me.\u201d and Romans 9:20 \u201cBut who are you O man, to answer back to God?\nI had to come to grips with God is God, he is sovereign, he decides what is just\u2026..get over it!\nSoli Deo Gloria!!\nI would certainly like to continue this conversation, and I may at a later time. However at this point I would rather, like to acknowledge the comments here, of exarmi, and fully admit to using sarcasm in my last response. I have to confess that I have fell into a trap that I have accused others of. I would also have to admit that I deceived myself into thinking this was the best way to respond. However, looking back I now realize, that this was the easiest and most effortless way. For this I sincerely, apologize, and ask for forgiveness.\nI will also say, that it is my belief, that there are very intelligent, logical, and God fearing people, on all sides of the discussion. This having been said, let me thank you for the admonishment, and I will strive to my utmost, to stay away from such things in the future.\nexarmi,\nYes, no Arminian would say that he did not really mean \u201cdead\u201d, nor would we say Paul is \u201cmis-translated.\u201d However, that does not mean that in using the word \u201cdead\u201d Paul was making reference to the inability of a physical corpse as Calvinists suppose. Such a correlation is nowhere to be found in those passages. Rather, Paul is speaking of the spiritual result of separation from Christ. Indeed, in his culture being \u201cdead\u201d had primary reference to the separation of the soul from the body. It did not focus on the functions of the physical corpse that remained. Likewise, the lake of fire is called the \u201csecond death\u201d because it is the place of final separation from Christ. The remedy for spiritual death is to be joined to the source of life- Christ. That is clear from the contexts where Paul speaks of being \u201cdead\u201d spiritually. Since we are joined to Christ by faith (Eph. 1:13), we can be sure that the spiritual life that resides in Christ alone can only be enjoyed by faith.\nTo suggest that regeneration precedes faith is to assert that one can have spiritual life prior to being joined to Christ and prior to receiving the Spirit of Life, which is received by faith (Gal. 3:2, 4, 14). That is theologically absurd and Biblically indefensible in my opinion. I would suggest you take a look at some of the numerous posts under the following category on this site:\nhttps://arminianperspectives.wordpress.com/category/ordo-salutis/\nI would especially recommend these posts to start:\nhttps://arminianperspectives.wordpress.com/2009/03/17/the-arminian-and-calvinist-ordo-salutis-a-brief-comparative-study/\nhttps://arminianperspectives.wordpress.com/2008/05/15/what-can-the-dead-in-sin-do/\nNow you may certainly disagree with the content and conclusions of those posts, but you should at least come away from them understanding why Arminians like me do not find the Calvinist arguments for the priority of regeneration persuasive or Biblically defensible.\nYou may be interested in some testimonies of those who came from the other direction: https://arminianperspectives.wordpress.com/x-calvinist-corner/\nWhat it boils down to is I just didn\u2019t want to believe that God would choose some over others for salvation\u2026It just ain\u2019t fair!\nIt may surprise you to know that many (if not most) Arminians do not primarily reject Calvinism because it may seem unfair (though that is certainly a factor), but because we find it unbiblical. I often here Calvinists talk about what a spiritual struggle it was to finally come to accept the teachings of Calvinism. It seems strange to me that not many seemed to consider the possibility that the struggle may have been the result of the Holy Spirit trying to steer them away from Calvinism.\nThen I am reminded of Job 38:3 \u201cDress for action like a man I will question you, and you make it known to me.\u201d and Romans 9:20 \u201cBut who are you O man, to answer back to God?\nGreat passages of Scripture, but they do not teach Calvinism; nor should we use them as an excuse or reason to accept a certain doctrine. Mormons could appeal to the same passages when we reject Mormonism, etc. We need to base our decisions on what the Scriptures teach as honestly as we can. I am sure you agree with that.\nAll Arminians believe God is sovereign. We just do not wrongly equate sovereignty with exhaustive determinism; nor do we deny God the sovereign right to give His creatures a measure of free will and hold them accountable for their actions.\nAgain, I could certainly leave a lengthy response here, and I would love to respond to several of your points. However, let me simply say that it seems to me that the question initially posed by exarmi has yet to be answered, which was,\nCan I ,or am I able, to decide to trust in Jesus Christ after I am pronounced dead by the local authorities?\nI think his question is legitimate, in other words it seems after reading through these discussions, and hearing, that there are those who believe the physical dead are capable of many functions, including an ability to make choices, I believe he is asking can he at this point decide to trust in Christ, or is there some reason that it would then be to late?\nPaul W. responded to exarmi. by simply repeating what had already been stated \u201cthe dead are capable of many functions.\u201d Kangaroodort seems also to have failed to answer the question and the closest he came was by saying\n\u201cYes, no Arminian would say that he did not really mean \u201cdead\u201d, nor would we say Paul is \u201cmis-translated.\u201d However, that does not mean that in using the word \u201cdead\u201d Paul was making reference to the inability of a physical corpse as Calvinists suppose.\u201d\nNow to be clear, I do not believe exarmi is speaking of the dead corpse responding, rather I believe his point is, since the dead are capable of many functions, is it possible for them at this point to receive Christ?\nHow about we allow exami to explain what he means before we speak for him? It seems to me that exarmi was arguing in the standard Calvinist line that since a dead body cannot respond to anything without first being resurrected, then a spiritually dead person cannot respond to God without being first spiritually resurrected. If that is what he meant, then that has been answered by us. If he meant something else, he needs to make that clear himself. To be fair, his comments were a little ambiguous.\nAlso, before you ask for answers from all of us to a question you didn\u2019t even ask, you might want to review your previous comments and our responses and ask yourself how many times you directly answered our challenges to your own view of things. I think you will find that you left quite a few legitimate questions unanswered.\nJPC, on March 10, 2012 at 6:50 am said:\nJack, you said \u201cAgain, I could certainly leave a lengthy response here, and I would love to respond to several of your points.\u201d\nAre you trying to intimidate people here by referencing your ability to write lengthy responses? It\u2019s not working. If there is one thing that Calvinists are not lacking, it\u2019s the abundance of material that has been written in support of their erroneous doctrine. We all know this. It does not make them right. There is also a lot written in support of Arminianism. If you have so much to say then you should consider starting your own blog. It\u2019s free!\nYou said \u201cCan I ,or am I able, to decide to trust in Jesus Christ after I am pronounced dead by the local authorities?\u201d\nWell, this is an easy one. In the Scriptures it says \u201cthat it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment\u201d. So if someone was pronounced dead by the authorities then they have already passed their opportunity to trust in Jesus. It\u2019s too late. Unless, of course, the local authority was not trained properly and the person was actually still alive. In that case, when the person regains consciousness he can still trust in Jesus, provided that they don\u2019t bury him alive based on the faulty conclusion of said local authority.\nI will answer what I think your really getting at in the post about faith preceding regeneration\u2026..\nhttp://tinyurl.com/6uobnxk\nJack Hanley, on March 10, 2012 at 12:08 pm said:\n@How about we allow exarmi to explain what he means before we speak for him?\nIt appears to me, (and I absolutely could be wrong) that you all are reading into my comments, a tone I do not intend. Now this could be my fault, if so then I certainly apologize. Then again, I maybe reading into your comments something you do not intend. At any rate, I do not believe, the question posed by exarmi was ambiguous, as you say, and by reading the last sentence from JPC here, I believe he understands the point being made by exarmi.\n@ I think you will find that you left quite a few legitimate questions unanswered.\nYou are correct in making this statement, however, if you were to look back you will see that on several occasions, I stated, that it would be impossible for me to respond to every point. In fact here are 2 exact statements.\nJH Okay, I am certainly not going to attempt to respond to every point here, that would be impossible for me.\nJH Okay let me say there is so much here, I\u2019d love to respond to, but obviously, I cannot possibly do it here so I\u2019ll have to choose.\n@Are you trying to intimidate people here by referencing your ability to write lengthy responses?\nYou are defiantly reading something into my comments here, that I do not intend. And again this could be my fault, in that my communication skills, are not very good. I hardly think that I could intimidate anyone, with my knowledge or writing ability, seeing as how I barely have a high school education, and this, from one of the poorest academic high schools in my area. I have spent the last 30 years working in a paper mill. One of my favorite pass times is reading and studying scripture, and discussing with fellow brothers and sisters, to the point that it gets me in trouble with my wife in that it takes up so much time. Therefore this was my point. In other words I was saying I would have loved to respond to some of the other questions, as kangaroodort, has pointed out here that I have left unanswered, But I chose to refer to what I believed to be a glaring question, by exarmi that was left unanswered. At any rate if you truly thought I was attempting to intimidate, I apologize, and I am certainly glad it didn\u2019t work.\nI have another point I would like to make, however at this time I am off to the paper mill, and will attempt to make this point on my return.\nexarmi, on March 10, 2012 at 1:41 pm said:\nHey folks, I\u2019m back..I find it something of a mystery that we can all obviously speak the same language, live in the same day and time and still have the struggle of understanding what we write to one another\u2026just sayin\u2019. I believe Paul is using \u2018dead\u2019 to refer to a \u2018will\u2019 or \u2018spiritual\u2019 inability at least \u2018trapped\u2019 or \u2018imprisoned\u2019 that would necessarily have to be \u2018revived\u2019, \u2018resurrected\u2019, \u2018freed\u2019 in order to have \u2018life\u2019 or \u2018freedom\u2019 of the will or spirit. I would suggest that this passage be placed in evidence to support a reformed view. I would also submit for evidence Phil 1:29 (ESV) \u201cFor it has been GRANTED to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only BELIEVE in him but also suffer for his sake\u2026.\u201d (emphasis mine) is this only applicable to the Philippians or is this universal to all believers?\nPaul W., on March 10, 2012 at 6:22 pm said:\nDear Exarmi and Ben (kangaroodort, on March 8, 2012 at 3:46 pm),\nBen, I thought you gave a superb response to Exarmi in your above noted and dated reply. I found those links which I took the time to examine in your list extremely helpful and interesting and very well done. Exarmi did not acknowledge examining the following link which you apparently authored and suggested for his reading, Ben, which decimates, in my opinion, the Calvinist view of applying the physical death experienced by the body to a \u201csoulish\u201d death concerning the will which Exarmi seems to have totally ignored:\n\u201cI believe Paul is using \u2018dead\u2019 to refer to a \u2018will\u2019 or \u2018spiritual\u2019 inability at least \u2018trapped\u2019 or \u2018imprisoned\u2019 that would necessarily have to be \u2018revived\u2019, \u2018resurrected\u2019, \u2018freed\u2019 in order to have \u2018life\u2019 or \u2018freedom\u2019 of the will or spirit.\u201d\nYour above interpretation of death, Exarmi, seems to center on the Calvinist idea of \u201cinability\u201d for the Apostle\u2019s analogy of \u201cdeath\u201d in Paul\u2019s depiction for the state of sinners. Ben and the links he referred you to distinctly suggest and illustrate the idea of \u201calienation\u201d better fits the definition of \u201cdeath\u201d used by the Apostle because it better harmonizes with the totality of the Scriptures.\nIn particular, I found this statement at the above link ( Richard Coords, on June 20, 2008 at 12:11 am ) of particular value in determining the way \u201cdeath\u201d was sometimes viewed in first century Israel (which seems to be usually foreign to Calvinist culture). Please notice, Exarmi, the definition of death which is found in the parable of the Prodigal Son which was given by no less an authoritative personage than Jesus the Messiah, God incarnate:\nLuke 15:22-24: \u201c\u2026 and let us eat and celebrate; for this son of mine was DEAD and has come to LIFE again\u2026\u201d (Paul W.\u2019s emphasis added).\nObviously the Prodigal son never physically died, so what type of death did the Prodigal son experience in relation to his father? The best way to define the Prodigal son\u2019s \u201cdeath\u201d is as \u201calienation\u201d from his father, in my opinion. The \u201calienation\u201d definition of \u201cdeath\u201d apparently used by the father in the Prodigal Son parable is the definition of death I believe better fits the tenor of Scripture concerning Paul\u2019s usage, than the \u201cinability\u201d definition favored by Calvinists, which you favor Exarmi. The Prodigal son\u2019s problem does not appear to be \u201cinability\u201d in the parable, but \u201cability.\u201d\nNotice also the Messiah\u2019s use of resurrection in the parable, Exarmi. Since the Prodigal son never was physically resurrected, what type of resurrection was Messiah speaking of in the parable? Was the resurrection an \u201cenablement\u201d or a resurrection of \u201cability\u201d for the will of the Prodigal? \u201cAbility\u201d and \u201cenablement\u201d seem to have constituted the greatest part of the Prodigal son\u2019s problem, from my analysis of the parable. I interpret the Prodigal son\u2019s resurrection to be a resurrection of \u201crelationship\u201d or a \u201crestoration\u201d from the previous state of \u201calienation.\u201d\nAlso of note in Ben\u2019s link was Ben\u2019s following quote:\n\u201cThe Bible plainly teaches that those who are dead in sin resist the Holy Spirit. Now have you ever seen a corpse resist something? Of course not. So if we adopt the implications of the Calvinistic definition of \u201cdead in sin\u201d then we must deny that anyone who is dead in sin can resist the Holy Spirit or reject the gospel (Acts 7:51; 2 Thess. 2:10; 1 John 4:10; Rom. 10:21). Corpses can\u2019t resist or reject anything any more than they can see or hear anything.\u201d\nThe idea of resistance to the Holy Spirit in the above Scriptures does not, in my opinion, fit the \u201cinability\u201d definition for death you seem to have centered on, Exarmi. Rather, \u201cability\u201d seems to be the theme behind the resistance of sinners. \u201cAbility,\u201d or \u201cenablement,\u201d also appears to be the problem exemplified in the parable of the Prodigal Son. The Prodigal son\u2019s \u201cresurrection\u201d (restoration to his father) also appears to have been preceded by the Prodigal son\u2019s faith and repentance found in Luke 15:17-19. The son\u2019s faith and repentance (Luke 15:17-19) both appear to precede the son\u2019s later \u201cresurrection\u201d (restoration to his father) at the end of the parable in verse 32.\nConcerning Phil. 1:29, Exarmi, perhaps you could elucidate on why those who favor synergistic salvation should be threatened by that verse?\nThank you for your input, Exarmi.\nIt appears to me, (and I absolutely could be wrong) that you all are reading into my comments, a tone I do not intend. Now this could be my fault, if so then I certainly apologize. Then again, I maybe reading into your comments something you do not intend. At any rate, I do not believe, the question posed by exarmi was ambiguous, as you say, and by reading the last sentence from JPC here, I believe he understands the point being made by exarmi\nJPC actually had to entertain quite a few possibilities in his response which it seems to me is quite obviously due to the ambiguity in exarmi\u2019s initial short question. And if you are correct that JPC totally missed his point in his earlier response, that is further evidence that exarmi\u2019s initial question was ambiguous, don\u2019t you think? So I find it strange that you are now appealing to JPC to show that exarmi was actually being very clear in his meaning.\nThe reasons you give for your lack of answers is really beside the point. The point is that exarmi asked the question and if he is to be properly understood against any apparent confusion, then he is really the only one who can clear it up. Yet you decided to speak for him and tell us that we all totally missed his point and didn\u2019t even come close to answering him at all. In that, you seemed to challenge us that the question, as you understand it, needs to be answered by us. My response was to point out that you are really not in a position to be requesting any of those things since you cannot be sure yourself what exarmi meant, and you have left many questions unanswered (for whatever reason). There comes a point where it does get a little frustrating to keep fielding and answering questions, which takes time for all of us, from someone who does not return the favor, for whatever reasons. This is especially true when persistent questions seem to entirely ignore the answers that have already been given as if nothing has been said at all.\nSo it is not really a matter of misunderstanding tone, but of trying to have a balanced and productive discussion that is not a waste of time for any of us.\nJack Hanley, on March 13, 2012 at 9:53 am said:\nListen please do not feel you have to respond to anything I say are ask.\nPaul W., on April 4, 2012 at 1:39 pm said:\nConcerning SavedByGrace\u2019s inference that Dave Hunt borrowed from the Watchtower, a criticism which you suggest SBG may have picked up from a White/Dave Hunt debate in a criticism of the volume \u201cWhat Love is This?\u201d by Hunt, I have taken the time to reexamine Dave Hunt\u2019s volume \u201cWhat Love is This?\u201d\nThe Scripture Index in Hunt\u2019s volume indicates two pages address Acts 13:48 (p. 54 and p. 210). On page 54 Hunt gave an Arminian favorable translation in quotes without a source, but he stated the verse would be examined at more length later in the volume. On page 210 the unreferenced quote given by Dave Hunt on page 54 is referenced on page 210 as belonging to Dean Alford, who was Henry Alford, DD; Dean of Canterbury from 1863 to 1878.\nJustin Taylor, who I believe co-authored a volume with Dr. John Piper (I am going by memory), indicates Dr. Piper has an extremely favorable relationship with Alford\u2019s Greek New Testament ( http://thegospelcoalition.org/blogs/justintaylor/2008/05/28/heny-alfords-greek-nt/ ). As you know, Dr. Piper is known to favor a Calvinistic view on Total Depravity.\nThere are no Watchtower references in Dave Hunt\u2019s volume concerning Acts 13:48, but Hunt references several Greek authorities concerning Acts 13:48 which include Alford, T. E. Page, and A. T. Robertson. In addition, Hunt indicates that T. E. Page\u2019s work from 1897 was referenced by Hunt. None of these sources, as far as I am aware, have had any Watchtower affiliations, unless the Watchtower had people examining those sources for reference.\nIt appears to me that White may have been making a misguided attempt to undermine Dave Hunt\u2019s extraordinary and outstanding volume, \u201cWhat Love is This?\u201d With the exception of Hunt\u2019s view on perseverance (I believe he subscribes to an eternal security position), I have never seen such an outstanding compilation of Arminian favorable data in one single volume! The only sources more complete than Hunt\u2019s volume are the Arminian websites (including this one) which I discovered much later than Hunt\u2019s volume.\nIt seemed appropriate to share this, Ben, since you indicated you do not have that book.\nInterestingly, something I had previously failed to notice, Hunt quotes Cook\u2019s Commentary (1895) as indicating the KJV (Authorized Version) followed the Latin Vulgate rendering for Acts 13:48 (which is a rendering favorable to Calvinism) rather than the Arminian favorable rendering of the Greek which can be found in Josephus (Hunt, p. 210).\nThank you for your insights, Ben.\nSavedByGrace, on April 10, 2012 at 8:16 am said:\nIn regards to the Jehovah Witnesses translation of Acts 13:48, which fits with the way Arminians interpret this verse I look at the resource you posted Ben. It did not really change anything, just establish what I already said. The only published Bible that agrees with the arminian position is the Jehovah\u2019s Witness Bible, which should tell everyone (including arminians) something\u2026\nHere is Acts 13:48 from the Jehovah\u2019s Wittnesses\u2019 Bible (NWT): \u201c\u2026 and all those who were rightly disposed for everlasting life became believers.\u201d\nFrom the resource you posted: Arminian Abasciano: \u201d A better translation of the passage is, \u201cas many as were set in position for eternal life believed\u201d or \u201cas many as were disposed to eternal life believed.\u201d\nAnd Cotrell: \u201cwe can see that the statement in 13:48 can quite validly be taken thus: \u201cAs many as arranged themselves unto (eis) eternal life believed,\u201d or \u201cAs many as turned themselves toward eternal life believed,\u201d or \u201cAs many as disposed themselves toward eternal life believed.\u201d\nThank you for posting the link Ben. I found that they match the Jehovah\u2019s Witness translation quite nicely. Now lets look at how credible Bible translations (and Bible translators for that matter) print the text:\nNew American Standard: \u201cand as many as had been appointed to eternal life believed.\u201d\nESV: \u201cand as many as were appointed to eternal life believed.\u201d\nKJV: \u201cand as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.\u201d\nNIV: \u201cand all who were appointed for eternal life believed.\u201d\nASV: \u201cand as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.\u201d\nThe Message: \u201cAll who were marked out for real life put their trust in God\u201d (Yes, even \u2018The Message\u2019 gets it)\nHCSB: \u201cand all who had been appointed to eternal life believed.\u201d\nAmplified Bible: \u201cand as many as were destined (appointed and ordained) to eternal life believed \u201d\nNCV: And the people who were chosen to have life forever believed the message.\u201d\nI guess I could keep going, but I think the point is clear.\nThe point is that zero credible Bible\u2019s agree with the arminian writers, Ben, Abasciano, Cortell, or any other. The only Bible that agrees with the Arminian is, not a Christian Bible, but the Jehovah\u2019s Witness Bible. I guess people will do a lot to cling to tradition. As for me, I guess I\u2019ll just believe that all who were chosen for life did indeed believe.\nIt is too bad you find this line of reasoning convincing. Translations are often interpretive and often tend to follow certain precedents, for better or worse, that have already been set (which is significant in light of Beza and the Vulgate). It can take a while for translations to make necessary changes. However, none of that means that the Greek word cannot be understood as Cottrell, Abasciano, and many Greek authorities and Grammars suggest. It is more than a matter of listing translations.\nMaybe you remember our discussion on John 6:44 and the word \u201cdraw\u201d. You said it should be understood as \u201cdrag\u201d. I pointed out that no translation has \u201cdrag\u201d instead of \u201cdraw\u201d. You brushed that off as insignificant. Obviously, you thought that while no Bible rendered helkou as \u201cdrag\u201d in that passage, there were still good reasons to understand it in the sense of drag rather than draw. The same is true here as well. And even ordained and appointed do not really force us to understand this passage in a Calvinistic sense. Those terms can be understood differently than Calvinists want them to be understood, and context really needs to dictate how those terms should be understood. On that score, the Arminian view makes better sense of the context as both articles pointed out.\nAgain, when it comes to scholarly exegesis, translations are very often challenged, because translations are not authoritative. If a Greek word can be understood in a way that better fits the context, it shouldn\u2019t matter if translations render the word differently. There are many examples of this in scholarly works and commentaries. Calvinists do this all the time, whenever they encounter a passage that challenges their presuppositions. How many translations do you know of that have \u201cthe elect\u201d instead of \u201cworld\u201d in John 3:16? How many translations do you know of that have \u201csome\u201d instead of \u201call\u201d in the many passages that speak of the universal provision of the atonement or God\u2019s desire to save all? I could go on, but I think you get the point.\nBTW, your use of the Message as a credible translation (it is a majorly interpretive paraphrase) is about as bad as any appeal to the NWT as a credible translation.\nJ.C. Thibodaux, on April 10, 2012 at 2:34 pm said:\n@The only published Bible that agrees with the arminian position is the Jehovah\u2019s Witness Bible, which should tell everyone (including arminians) something\u2026\n1.) That\u2019s incorrect. The Zondervan interlinear renders Acts 13:48 as, \u201cAnd as many as were disposed to eternal life, believed.\u201d (\u201cThe Interlinear Greek-English New Testament\u201d; Zondervan Publishing House)\n2.) The \u201cwere disposed\u201d translation isn\u2019t unprecedented, as it\u2019s supported by various commentators and scholars (such as Alford and Robertson that have been cited). Matthew Henry also seems to support this rendering in his commentary: \u201cAs many as were disposed to eternal life, as many as had concern about their eternal state, and aimed to make sure of eternal life, believed in Christ, in whom God has treasured up that life, and who is the only Way to it; and it was the grace of God that wrought it in them.\u201d (Henry\u2019s commentary on Acts 13:48)\n3.) Ditto to Ben\u2019s point about translations not being authoritative in the first place.\n4.) To conclude that certain concepts are wrong simply because of who promotes them is genetic fallacy. Quoting Fallacy Files: \u201c\u2026the Genetic Fallacy is committed whenever an idea is evaluated based upon irrelevant history.\u201d\n5.) To think there\u2019s any significance to a coincidental agreement with the JWs on a specific point is also an association fallacy. \u201cEating sugar is bad! HITLER ATE SUGAR!!\u201d (So do many Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses)\n6.) You categorize \u201cThe Message\u201d as a \u201ccredible\u201d translation? Seriously?\nWe should probably mention that Henry took a very Arminian approach to this passage, despite his Calvinism:\nhttp://www.eaec.org/faithhallfame/matthewhenry.htm\nThat is a credit to him and his attention to context which makes this passage so problematic as a Calvinist proof text. His comments deserve to be quoted again as they fit the context so well and highlight that \u201cwere disposed to\u201d is hardly a novel or strictly Arminian view of the Greek,\n\u201cAs many as were disposed to eternal life, as many as had concern about their eternal state, and aimed to make sure of eternal life, believed in Christ, in whom God has treasured up that life, and who is the only Way to it; and it was the grace of God that wrought it in them.\u201d (Henry\u2019s commentary on Acts 13:48)\nP.S. I like sugar too.\nPaul W., on April 12, 2012 at 3:36 pm said:\nThe following abridged excerpt is from Adam Clarke\u2019s commentary on Acts 13:48 ( http://www.godrules.net/library/clarke/clarkeact13.htm ). Clarke deals with the Greek dictionary or lexical meaning and definition of the Greek word translated \u201cordained\u201d in that verse:\nVerse 48. \u201cAs many as were ordained to eternal life believed.\u201d \u2013 This text has been most pitifully misunderstood. Many suppose that it simply means that those in that assembly who were fore-ordained; or predestinated by God\u2019s decree, to eternal life, believed under the influence of that decree. Now, we should be careful to examine what a word means, before we attempt to fix its meaning. Whatever tetagmenoi may mean, which is the word we translate ordained, it is neither protetagmenoi nor proorismenoi which the apostle uses, but simply tetagmenoi, which includes no idea of pre-ordination or pre-destination of any kind. \u2026what does the word tetagmenov mean? The verb tattw or tassw signifies to place, set, order, appoint, dispose; hence it has been considered here as implying the disposition or readiness of mind of several persons in the congregation\u2026 Though the word in this place has been variously translated, yet, of all the meanings ever put on it, none agrees worse with its nature and known signification than that which represents it as intending those who were predestinated to eternal life: this is no meaning of the term, and should never be applied to it. \u2026 Those who wish to see more on this verse may consult Hammond, Whitby, Schoettgen, Rosenmuller, Pearce, Sir Norton Knatchbull, and Dodd.\nSavedByGrace, you gave me a reference to some comments by Mounce on Eph. 2:8-9 which I appreciated. You even went so far as to explain some of the Greek parsing for the words involved in the verse, and how Mounce suggested that the entire trio of words (\u201cgrace\u201d and \u201csaved\u201d and \u201cfaith\u201d) might be referenced by the Greek pronoun because the Greek \u201cpronoun is a neutered demonstrative\u201d (SavedByGrace, on March 1, 2012 at 7:56 am). Although the trio of words in that verse all have male or female genderings, because the pronoun was in the neuter gender, Mounce felt the entire trio of words was referenced. By this explanation, I assumed you possibly might have had some formal Greek training.\nPersonally, I have had two years of formal Greek studies, so while I am somewhat familiar with the Greek language, I am definitely not an authority nor an expert. Your explanation made sense to me, from my own studies in Greek, although you may be aware that several interpretations do actually exist concerning the verses in Ephesians 2:8-9, and another view supposes the neuter applies to the overriding principle in the verse (\u201csaved\u201d). I can live with either view, Mounce\u2019s or the subsequent one mentioned above. Mounce\u2019s has logical validity, so I can accept it as a legitimate interpretation of the Greek, but the primary word of contextual significance in the trio is still, according to an analysis of Ephesians, the word \u201csaved,\u201d although the trio may still be referenced by the neuter pronoun as Mounce suggested.\nOn lexical dictionary grounds, if one is handicapped, and one is not trained in the Greek, one can examine the Strong\u2019s Concordance and discover the word translated \u201cordained\u201d in Acts 13:48 is the Greek word numbered 5021 in Strong\u2019s Concordance ( http://www.eliyah.com/cgi-bin/strongs.cgi?file=greeklexicon&isindex=5021 ):\n5021. tasso tas\u2019-so a prolonged form of a primary verb (which latter appears only in certain tenses); to arrange in an orderly manner, i.e. assign or dispose (to a certain position or lot):\u2013addict, appoint, determine, ordain, set.\nThe point I am trying to make, SavedByGrace, is that you sound as if you could have had some Greek training (please correct me if I am wrong). If you have had formal Greek training, SavedByGrace, then in addition to understanding Clarke\u2019s lexical dictionary argument (or by using Strong\u2019s Concordance as I have just demonstrated), you should probably also be able to understand the following Greek technical information about the potential case mixup in the translation of the word \u201cordained\u201d in Acts 13:48, which in the KJV is rendered as a passive voice. One or more Greek expert commentators I have consulted in the past pointed out that the Greek form is ambiguous for the word translated \u201cordained,\u201d because according to the Greek, the actual case for that particular Greek word actually falls into two potential categories and it could potentially also be rendered as a middle voice.\nWhat makes this particularly significant is that in Greek the middle voice has the subject acting on ITSELF. This means the persons are SELF-\u201cdisposed\u201d or SELF-\u201cinclined\u201d or SELF-\u201cappointed\u201d or SELF-\u201cordered\u201d or SELF-\u201cassigned\u201d or SELF-\u201caddicted\u201d or SELF-\u201cordained.\u201d If one is attempting to render the middle voice in Acts 13:48, it becomes obvious that SELF-\u201caddicted\u201d or SELF-\u201cdisposed\u201d or SELF-\u201cinclined\u201d are the better renderings for the Greek word.\nIf you do understand Greek, SavedByGrace, you have absolutely no reason to deny the potential legitimacy of the Arminian translation of the verse on any grounds, other than because of your own theological preconceptions favoring a Calvinistic interpretation. If you do NOT understand Greek, SavedByGrace, then it is understandable why you have been reasoning in the fashion you have followed, but the Greek allows either the passive rendering (favored by Calvinists), or the middle rendering (favored by Arminians).\nIn any case, Clarke believed that tetagmenoi \u201cincludes no idea of pre-ordination or pre-destination of any kind,\u201d because \u201cit is neither PROtetagmenoi nor PROorismenoi which the apostle uses, but simply tetagmenoi, which includes no idea of PRE-ordination or PRE-destination\u2026\u201d (emphasis mine). In other words, because \u201ctetagmenoi\u201d lacks the Greek prefix \u201cpro,\u201d Clarke believed one could not insert the concept of pre-ordination into the meaning of the word \u201ctetagmenov.\u201d\nIf \u201cpre-ordained\u201d determinism is NOT the meaning to be found in Acts 13:48 in the word \u201ctetagmenoi,\u201d then the middle voice by default is a much more legitimate option for rendering the Greek (which favors the Arminian position).\nIf you, SavedByGrace, can demonstrate from the Greek that \u201ctetagmenoi\u201d in other Bible verses does indeed uncontrovertibly mean \u201cpre-ordained\u201d determinism in an explicit manner, you will have a much better chance of maintaining a semblance of legitimacy for the Calvinistic point of view in Acts 13:48, and your reasoning will be much more logical. Uncontrovertibly demonstrating from other Greek Bible verses that \u201ctetagmenoi\u201d does indeed explicitly mean \u201cpre-ordained\u201d would also demonstrate the potential for the Calvinist favored passive rendering of Acts 13:48 as being as legitimate an option as the Arminian favoring middle rendering is now. I believe the middle rendering of Acts 13:48 (which favors the Arminian view) is uncontrovertibly preferable if \u201ctetagmenoi\u201d does NOT mean \u201cpre-ordained\u201d determinism due to its lack of the Greek \u201cpro\u201d prefix as Clarke maintained.\nOn page 210 of Hunt\u2019s volume \u201cWhat Love is This?\u201d Hunt claims to list all of the passages with \u201ctasso\u201d (of which tetagmenoi is a form) to examine them for a possible rendering indicating a divine decree (deterministic predestination). Hunt\u2019s conclusion is that none of the Bible passages demonstrate the Calvinistic view.\nIf you, SavedByGrace, were to suppose the Greek \u201cpro\u201d prefix to tetagmenoi is inconsequential, I would suggest, for example, examining the English word \u201cnoun\u201d with the Greek prefix \u201cpro\u201d attached which yields the word PROnoun. While pronouns do indeed function similarly to nouns in a sentence, PROnouns are a completely different category of word than \u201cnouns\u201d (which becomes obvious by the added Greek prefix). To minimize the absence of the Greek prefix \u201cpro\u201d for tetagmenoi in Acts 13:48 (as Calvinists apparently do perhaps unwittingly), would be to engage in the commission of a logical fallacy, which may be the point Clarke was attempting to make. I have very little training in formal logic, but the logical fallacy may be the fallacy of ambiguity, which is a category of fallacies. The \u201cfallacy of division\u201d may be the fallacy which particularly addresses this mixup ( http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/division.html ).\nMay the Lord bless your pursuit of truth, SavedByGrace.\nPaul W.,\nThe middle voice is possible and Cottrell, I believe, argues for the middle voice. However, the passive does nothing to harm the Arminian interpretation, as it could have been Paul\u2019s preaching, the Holy Spirit\u2019s work, or their prior relationship to the Father under the old dispensation that \u201cdisposed\u201d them to respond favorably. This is the view primarily held by Abasciano (see the post I linked to above). The passive, does not, however, indicate that the Gentile\u2019s were being acted upon in an irresistible manner, which is what Calvinists need to make their case here. The bottom line is that the Grammar simply cannot decide the matter in favor of Calvinism. Not even close. And when it comes to context, the Arminian interpretation makes far better sense.\nAlso, as you well point out, there is nothing in the text or the language to suggest that the \u201cappointment\u201d is pre-temporal (or from eternity). The language and Grammar simply does not support that at all. It needs to be read into the text based on preconceived presuppositions (or \u201ctraditions\u201d as SBG likes to call them). This is the same mistake Calvinists make with John 6 in assuming that the \u201cgiving\u201d to the Son from the Father is necessarily from eternity. Again, such an idea is not present in the text, but forced into the text by Calvinists based on their traditions. So Calvinists like James White and those who swallow his arguments (like SBG) are allowing their traditions to dictate how the passage should be understood, and then faulting Arminians for clinging to tradition. Truly wild.\nThank you again for your insights. I had formerly read the article by Abasciano rather quickly, but not very carefully. I did not realize he had been arguing for the passive, but assumed as soon as I read the word \u201cdisposed\u201d that he, like others, were arguing for the middle voice.\nMy lack of attention caused me to miss his point which I would summarize as equivalent to arguing for prevenient grace which \u201cdisposed\u201d (in a passive sense) Paul\u2019s hearers to believe (in an active sense). I can see that the passive voice would make complete sense from that viewpoint.\nRegarding the passive, here is an excerpt from Abasciano\u2019s article:\nNo agent of the action is identified for the passive verb, meaning it could be another agent like God that prepared the subjects for eternal life, or Paul as the preacher of the gospel, or the preaching of the gospel itself, or even the subjects of the passive verb themselves (akin to saying, \u201cas many as were set for the test passed it\u201d),[2] or most likely, a combination of these and other factors. It would be too involved to present an exegesis of this text in this setting; the matter deserves a whole article of its own. But suffice it to say here that Acts 13:48 fails to establish Dan\u2019s point. Moreover, it is worth noting that Friberg\u2019s lexicon lists \u201cas many as had become disposed toward eternal life\u201d as a possible translation.[3] Similarly, distinguished grammarian Max Zerwick indicates \u201cwho had been set (in the way)\u201d as a possible translation in Zerwick and Grosvenor\u2019s well known A Grammatical Analysis of the Greek New Testament. And the most authoritative lexicon for New Testament studies (abbreviated BDAG) does not take the verb in question to mean \u201cappoint,\u201d but construes it under the meaning of \u201cto put in place.\u201d[4] It is not surprising, then, that the distinguished biblical scholar Henry Alford argued for the rendering, \u201cas many as were disposed,\u201d in his well respected 4 volume work, The Greek Testament. (John Piper of all people sings Alford\u2019s praises thus: \u201cWhen I\u2019m stumped with a . . . grammatical or syntactical or logical flow [question] in Paul, I go to Henry Alford. Henry Alford mostly answers-he . . . comes closer more consistently than any other human commentator to asking my kinds of questions.\u201d) Alford\u2019s treatment of Acts 13:48 can be found in this volume available online.\nAs a quick correction, I should have stated I would summarize Abasciano\u2019s view as equivalent to arguing for prevenient grace which \u201cdisposed\u201d (in a passive sense) Paul\u2019s hearers to potentially believe (in an active sense).\nThe more I think about the problems with the passive voice in Acts 13:48, the more I lean back to the middle voice. I can see the point Abasciano was making, and I do not like to disagree with the distinguished grammarians, but it seems to me the middle voice may have fewer problems from my own perspective. I will have to consider both voices in more depth and the accompanying issues and potential problems with both viewpoints before being fully convinced by the passive voice position. It seems to me that the passive voice leads indirectly back into the Calvinist view.\nI have spent some time considering a passive voice translation for Acts 13:48 and have concluded that you are correct in stating, \u201cthe passive does nothing to harm the Arminian interpretation. \u2026The passive, does not, \u2026indicate that the Gentile\u2019s were being acted upon in an irresistible manner, which is what Calvinists need to make their case here. The bottom line is that the Grammar simply cannot decide the matter in favor of Calvinism. Not even close. And when it comes to context, the Arminian interpretation makes far better sense\u201d ( kangaroodort, on April 12, 2012 at 6:14 pm ).\nAfter considerable evaluation, I concede that your statement above is correct. Another issue which had bothered me was that Acts 13:48 seems to suggest that only those who were \u201cordained to eternal life\u201d actually believed, which seemed to me for awhile to favor the Calvinist view of unconditional election (\u201cas many as were disposed to eternal life believed\u201d). My resolution to this situation is that the Arminian can counter, \u201cOnly those who were being dealt with by the Lord through prevenient grace for this particular occasion believed. This says nothing about unconditional selection.\u201d\nIn favor of an Arminian view (on conditional perseverance) from a passive voice translation of Acts 13:48, since the word \u201cbelieved\u201d is an aorist, and the aorist does not address the duration of an action, the verse doesn\u2019t really state those who believed kept believing until the end (which undermines the Calvinistic view of perseverance). The aorist leaves open the issue of the duration of their belief. Some of those who began believing potentially could have become apostates later. Calvinists could counter that the verse doesn\u2019t explicitly teach apostasy.\nCalvinists might suggest that the passive voice in Acts 13:48 demonstrates what Calvinism has taught all along, that the Lord selects a person while they are depraved (that is, while they are will-less zombie-slaves to sin and unbelief) and that the Lord makes them able to believe. Some Calvinists might concede that Adam Clarke is correct (mentioned in an earlier post) that tetagmenoi in Acts 13:48 does not mean \u201cpreordained,\u201d but they might reason that since the pattern in Acts 13:48 still fits the Calvinistic \u201celected before believing\u201d position, one can infer a divine decree of predestined determinism despite the fact it is not explicitly taught (in concession to Adam Clarke\u2019s dictionary argument). The Arminian could respond that the inference to a divine decree is an unreliable argument, especially since the lexical meaning of an explicit decree is lost because of Adam Clarke\u2019s argument.\nIt seems to me that, at best, the passive voice in Acts 13:48 amounts to a standoff, without clear resolution from the grammar for either Arminians or Calvinists, as you have inferred, Ben, which then essentially defers resolution of the Calvinist/Arminian debate to other Scriptures (if one follows the passive voice translation). When one considers the totality of the Scriptures, as well as the immediate context, \u201cthe Arminian interpretation makes far better sense,\u201d as you have concluded in favor of the passive voice translation for Arminians.\nThe Calvinist who concedes that Adam Clarke is correct in that the meaning of the word \u201cordained\u201d does not mean pre-ordained (as previously mentioned in another post), still must contend with the fact that the Greek grammar legitimately allows a middle voice translation which would uncontrovertibly and effectively resolve the debate in favor of the Arminianian view, which should certainly seem to be a nagging issue in back of the minds of those Calvinists who really desire the truth.\nOne of the reasons so many Greek trained Bible students may fail to consider the middle voice is that some standard Greek Bible lexicons apparently will only include Greek parsings used exclusively by standard translations of the Bible. That practice effectively excludes alternate Greek parsings which can potentially be viable options for Bible translation, like the middle voice for tetagmenoi in Acts 13:48. The rationale for this practice (which I heard of while a college student) was apparently for pragmatic reasons: to control the size of the lexicon and for cost effective printing and for concise teaching purposes. Cottrell suggests another possible reason: oversight.\nI examined your reference to Cottrell ( http://evangelicalarminians.org/?q=wayman.Acts-13.48-and-Calvinism-Dr.Cottrell-explains ) who stated, \u201cWhat is often forgotten is that in the Greek language, often the passive and the middle form of verbs are spelled exactly the same way. That is the case here. The word tetagmenoi can also be the MIDDLE form of the verb. \u2026\nWhat does this verse mean, then? The middle voice of a verb in Greek is sometimes used in a reflexive sense. The idea is that the action of the verb is something performed by the subject (not by someone else upon the subject), but in such a way that the action is directed back toward the subject or the self. Understanding that the verb means \u2018to place, to set, to arrange in a certain order or position,\u2019 we can see that the statement in 13:48 can quite validly be taken thus: \u2018As many as arranged themselves unto (eis) eternal life believed,\u2019 or \u2018As many as turned themselves toward eternal life believed,\u2019 or \u2018As many as disposed themselves toward eternal life believed.'\u201d\nOne website ( http://www.preceptaustin.org/new_page_40.htm )indicated something is possible of which I was not aware concerning the middle voice: \u201cThe middle voice indicates the subject performs an action upon himself or herself (reflexive action) or for their own benefit.\u201d (my emphasis). In other words, if this information is accurate, something I had failed to realize is that the middle voice can indicate something is being done for personal gain, personal benefit or for personal value.\nThis suggests to me that in addition to the possible translations, \u201d \u2026as many as inclined themselves, disposed themselves or addicted themselves to eternal life believed,\u201d another possible way of translating the middle voice is: \u201cAnd when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were inclined for personal benefit or disposed for personal gain or addicted for personal welfare to eternal life believed.\u201d\nThe middle voice from this latter (personal welfare) perspective clearly makes sense to me from the context of Scripture. The Gentiles had just heard Paul and Barnabas quote Isaiah 49:6, \u201cI HAVE PLACED YOU AS A LIGHT FOR THE GENTILES, THAT YOU MAY BRING SALVATION TO THE END OF THE EARTH\u201d (NASB). Out of the Hebrew Tanakh the gentiles learned the Lord had planned salvation for gentiles as well as Israel. No wonder the gentiles were glad: they had heard of something from which they could clearly benefit, eternal life!\nFrom a pragmatic view, if Calvinists are unwilling to consider a middle voice translation in Acts 13:48 (either the reflexive or personal welfare versions of the middle voice), then engaging them from a passive voice translation will certainly encourage dialogue, but it seems to me a middle voice translation effectively resolves the Calvinist/Arminian debate if one can persuade the Calvinist of its superiority (which might be extremely difficult in many situations).\nThanks for the comments. The passive really does not support Calvinism in the least or lead to some sort of deadlock in my opinion. To say that they were \u201cdisposed\u201d can easily be taken as being receptive to the message for various reasons. In other words, it is not just a matter of prevenient grace working on them, but their attitude of receptivity as a result of that working. The point is that these were already responding favorably to that grace, i.e., were not resisting that grace/message, in contrast to the Jews who were resisting that grace/message. This doesn\u2019t mean that God was not working in the Jews as well. It means only that due to their pride and jealousy (as the text explains), they were resisting the message and God\u2019s drawing. They were not willing to humble themselves to Paul\u2019s message. That doesn\u2019t mean they were unable to humble themselves. As Paul says, they considered themselves unworthy of the salvation Paul was preaching (which actually means that they thought themselves too good for it, or didn\u2019t need it- they thought they were already in right relationship to God and Paul was wrong to tell them otherwise). They didn\u2019t think they needed Christ. Their predisposition made them resistant, but not irresistibly so. In contrast, the Gentiles did not have the same hang-ups as the Jews and so were not resistant to God\u2019s message and drawing. They were in that sense \u201cdisposed\u201d. So to be disposed really means that they were already in a position of receptivity. There should be no wonder then why they actually received the message.\nSo it is the combination of God\u2019s working and their response of receptivity, non-resistance that is being convey in their being \u201cdisposed\u201d to eternal life. It is like in John 6:44. Only those drawn can come, but there is more to the picture. John 6:45 says that all are taught, but only those who learn from that teaching (respond favorably, do not resist) actually come. All are taught/drawn (cf. John 12:32), but only those who do not resist that drawing will \u201clearn\u201d and \u201ccome\u201d as a result. The Jews and the Gentiles had been taught in this passage, but only the Gentiles \u201clearned\u201d and as a result responded positively to the message.\nAnother way to look at it is in the context of the move from one dispensation to the next. In John 6 and 10, for example, Jesus is drawing a distinction between Jews who are in right relationship with the Father under the old dispensation and those who are not. Those who were in right relationship with the Father (i.e. truly knew Him), would naturally recognize the Father in the Son (the perfect expression of the Father). Those who were not in right relationship with the Father would naturally resist Christ (the perfect expression of the Father). The Jews thought they knew God and for that reason knew Jesus was an imposter. Jesus makes it clear that the opposite is true. They see Jesus as an imposter because they do not presently know God. They do not know the Father/ are not in right covenant relationship with the Father. If they were they would \u201clearn\u201d from Christ (as He speaks the words of the Father) and come to Him as a result.\nSo it becomes a matter of those who know the Father in the old dispensation/covenant being given to the Son under the new dispensation/covenant. The sheep are those who already were in right relationship to the Father and were as a result given to the Son/Shepherd. But Jesus said he had \u201cother sheep\u201d who were not of that pasture (were not Jews). In Acts 13 we see an example of those other sheep. These are Gentiles who are already in right relationship with the Father as Jewish proselytes. The only difference between them and these Jews is that they were in right covenant relationship with God and these Jews were not. So the Jews naturally resisted the message of Christ while the Gentiles naturally accepted it. In that sense we can be fully comfortable with \u201cappointed\u201d. The Gentiles who were already in right relationship with the Father under the old dispensation were appointed (as a result of that prior relationship) to eternal life under the new dispensation.\nAnother issue which had bothered me was that Acts 13:48 seems to suggest that only those who were \u201cordained to eternal life\u201d actually believed, which seemed to me for awhile to favor the Calvinist view of unconditional election (\u201cas many as were disposed to eternal life believed\u201d). My resolution to this situation is that the Arminian can counter, \u201cOnly those who were being dealt with by the Lord through prevenient grace for this particular occasion believed. This says nothing about unconditional selection.\u201d\nThis is possible, but not necessary if we see the disposition as I described it above, i.e., describing their receptivity as well as the working of God, or describing their disposition resulting from their prior right relationship to the Father. But in Calvinism it is difficult to explain how all who were supposedly \u201celect\u201d responded at that time. That is not how Calvinism generally depicts things. They tell us that the elect often resist the message until at last God decides to act irresistibly on them. So we would need to believe that everyone who would ever believe actually believed at that moment (all of the elect present responded in that moment). The best the Calvinist could do is state things as you suggested Arminians should in saying that it must be as many as were ordained in that situation to believe actually believed. But then the Arminian can give the same response. A Calvinist could say that God orchestrated it so that all the elect responded favorably at that time, but then again that would be an extraordinary case seemingly being described here as the norm, against Calvinist arguments that the elect often resist the Holy Spirit and the message of the gospel.\nThis actually gets me back to John 10 where Jesus is speaking about the sheep and how they will run away from the voice of a stranger. That doesn\u2019t fit the picture of the elect in Calvinism who often resist the Spirit and most often live many, many years responding positively to the voice of the strangers. So the \u201csheep\u201d cannot have reference to the \u201celect\u201d as Calvinism depicts election. However, if our interpretation is correct that the sheep are those who already know the Father and are for that reason disposed to be receptive to Christ or the gospel of Christ; it makes perfect sense that they would recognize and follow the voice of the Son as opposed to the voice of strangers.\n\u201cThe passive really does not support Calvinism in the least or lead to some sort of deadlock in my opinion. To say that they were \u2018disposed\u2019 can easily be taken as being receptive to the message for various reasons. \u201c\nBen, I had difficulty thinking of the word \u201cdisposed\u201d in your statement as being used in the passive voice. I kept waffling back and forth thinking of the passive voice the way you described it, then thinking of the passive voice for a can of pop which was \u201cdisposed\u201d into the garbage. It appeared to me the word was being used by you, and the other Greek experts, in the middle voice, rather than in the passive voice. I wondered if the word could be legitimately used in the passive sense of, \u201cTheir dispositions were modified so that they believed.\u201d\nI had to do some research and came to the conclusion that \u201cpersuaded\u201d might be a similar analogy for the word \u201cdisposed\u201d as you and the Greek experts seemed to be suggesting for the manner of its meaning. I found \u201cpersuaded\u201d in the passive voice in Greek, and it is similar to the way you and the Greek grammarians are using the word \u201cdisposed,\u201d so it appears to me the word \u201cdisposed\u201d could also be used in the passive voice the way you are describing as referring to peoples\u2019 modified dispositions. One of the problems I have found in analyzing a translation is that the way words are grammatically used in English are not always the same way words are used grammatically in Greek. It still seems to me that many Calvinists will claim this passive voice rendering still fits the pattern they have taught all along.\nIn interpreting the passive voice of the text, it would be improper to state, \u201cThose who were \u2018disposed\u2019 potentially believed,\u201d as I had falsely supposed Abasciano might have been inferring in a previous post. The potentiality, which seems to me to be required from an Arminian perspective, comes from the Aorist form for the word translated \u201cbelieved,\u201d which, as stated earlier, does not address the duration of their belief. The potentiality, from my own perspective, can come from the potential duration of the belief in those who responded. Some could have later in life stopped believing (like the plants in the parable of the sower which sprung up, but later withered and died because they had no root). Some who believed in Acts 13:48 could have become apostates later. This can be construed to undermine the fifth point in \u201cTULIP Calvinism\u201d, as well as also potentially undermining the \u201cunconditional election/selection\u201d view (the second point in \u201cTULIP Calvinism\u201d). The fact that the Aorist form of \u201cbelieved\u201d can be construed to undermine two points in \u201cTULIP Calvinism\u201d suggests that a possible \u201cinference\u201d to a divine decree of \u201cunconditional election\u201d is as unfounded as an explicit decree (due to Adam Clarke\u2019s dictionary argument as previously mentioned in an earlier post sabotaging the explicit decree). The problem is that convinced Calvinists can claim these \u201cinferential\u201d arguments in favor of Arminianism from the Aorist are unreliable, and they can opt for their prior Calvinistic view because, as you have stated, \u201cThe bottom line is that the Grammar simply cannot decide the matter in favor of Calvinism,\u201d (nor in favor of Arminianism, I would add) from a passive voice translation. Interpretation is required to persuade one in either direction from a passive voice translation, it appears to me.\nBen, you have done an excellent job in your latest two posts of defending an Arminian position from a passive voice translation, especially with your examples and interpretations from other Scriptures (including John 10). From your approach, it appears to me that Arminians can very satisfactorily accept an appropriate passive voice translation on Acts 13:48 without conceding to a Calvinist view. As you have demonstrated in your expanded explanations in your last two posts especially, I believe you make a very persuasive argument for the Arminian position from the passive voice translation (using other Scriptures to support your interpretations). I personally would formerly have had difficulty doing anywhere near as well as yourself, without your preceding example.\nThe point I am really attempting to make when I talk about a \u201cstandoff\u201d or \u201cdeadlock\u201d concerning the passive voice is in regards to what you yourself have already conceded about the passive voice: \u201cThe bottom line is that the Grammar simply cannot decide the matter in favor of Calvinism.\u201d I would add to your statement that with a passive voice translation, the grammar cannot decide the matter in the favor of Arminians either concerning Acts 13:48. Interpretation is required to decide the matter in favor of Arminians from a passive voice translation of Acts 13:48, as you yourself have inferred, if I have properly interpreted you: ,\u201cAnd when it comes to context, the Arminian interpretation makes far better sense.\u201d\nIt seems to me that Calvinists can resist the interpretations Arminians advance for Arminianism from a passive voice translation in Acts 13:48, no matter how persuasive those interpretations may be to Arminians, although I would concede that some Calvinists might potentially be persuaded by your expanded Arminian interpretations and explanations from the passive voice translation of Acts 13:48 as demonstrated by you most recently above, and probably a large majority of Calvinists might have to think twice about reverting to their prior theological persuasion if exposed to your Arminian interpretations of the passive voice for Acts 13:48.\nWhat I am very strongly suggesting, from my own personal experience in verbal dialogue with a Calvinist leaning interpreter, is that the grammar in a middle voice translation of Acts 13:48 alone decided the case in favor of Arminians (in that person\u2019s own Calvinist leaning mind) without any additional interpretation being necessary at all on my part to explain the middle voice translation. Admittedly, he was trained in Greek.\nThe problem with the middle voice translations (from this personal experience of mine) is in getting Calvinists (or Calvinist leaning interpreters) to even consider seriously the middle voice translations as worthwhile translations of Acts 13:48, because of the theological predispositions Calvinists and Calvinist leaning interpreters have against the grammar itself as translated by the middle voice. This Calvinist leaning interpreter verbally concluded (from my own personal experience in dialogue with him) that he rejected a middle voice translation outright, evidently favoring a passive voice translation of Acts 13:48. It was extremely obvious to me as to why he refused to consider the middle voice translation: the passive voice translation allowed him to continue in his own theological presupposition, but the grammar of a middle voice translation would not allow him to continue in his Calvinist leaning view at all. In order to maintain his integrity as a Calvinist leaning interpreter, he had no choice except to reject the middle voice grammar outright on a theological (not a grammatical) basis, or he had to convert to Arminianism on the spot. In a snap judgment he chose the former.\nI am simply attempting to describe a personal experience without naming names, which I suspect, would not end up being an isolated incident if I were given the option of repeating the process in similar circumstances.\nPersuasion is still needed in either case, the middle voice or the passive voice, but with the middle voice the debate is settled on the basis of grammar alone, from personal experience. Then the situation is to attempt to convince the Calvinist or Calvinist leaning interpreter that the middle voice should not be rejected on theological grounds.\nThe Calvinist leaning interpreter who rejects the middle voice translations (because of their theological presuppositions) must then ask themselves, \u201cSince the middle voice is a legitimate grammatical rendering of the Greek, if I reject the grammar of the middle voice, am I rejecting the intended meaning of the text, and am I thereby rejecting the Word of the Lord, since the middle voice translations are grammatically legitimate translations?\u201d The Calvinist must deal with the issue as to whether he himself is \u201cresisting the Holy Spirit\u201d by possibly rejecting grammar which the Lord may have intentionally intended.\nIt seems to me Ben, that if a Calvinist is going to reject the Arminian view in Acts 13:48, he must not only reject the legitimate grammar of the middle voice (which may be the Lord\u2019s intended grammatical form which grammatically settles the debate in favor of Arminians), he must additionally reject persuasive Arminian interpretations from passive voice translations as well.\nThank you for your additional input which has given me additional enlightenment, Ben.",

        "raw_content": "It's normal to have questions about how a medical claim works. Feel free to call us for advice or perhaps see if it is covered in the topics below.\nThese are the questions we are asked most often, click a question to read the answer. If there are any other questions you would like to see answered here please let us know and we would be happy to include them:\nWhat are medical claims?\nWe receive medical treatment from a variety of different people including our local GP and the doctors and nurses in our hospitals. If you receive unacceptable treatment from them and this causes you an injury then you have a medical claim.\nThere are strict time limits for bringing medical claims. If you think you have a claim, then it is important you take action as soon as possible.\nIn order to be successful in these cases, you must first obtain evidence from an independent expert who is willing to confirm that the treatment you received was substandard. Unless you receive a favourable expert report you do not have a case.\nWhat legal information about the firm are you obliged to supply?\nDX: 711702 MIDDLESBROUGH 11\nArmstrong Foulkes is a law firm practising in England & Wales authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (No. 75630). Further details of the Solicitors Regulation Authority and their role can be found on their website www.sra.org.uk\nThe Solicitors Regulation Authority has a code of professional conduct which all solicitors\u2019 firms and their employees practicing in England & Wales are required to follow. This set of rules governing professional conduct can be viewed at www.sra.org.uk/solicitors/handbook/code/content.page\nWhy use a solicitor?\nIf you think you have a medical claim, you will need a solicitor to help you. These cases can be very complicated. Our expert solicitor will guide you through the case smoothly.\nYou should take care when you come to choose a solicitor. You should use a specialist solicitor who deals with these cases all the time and has some medical knowledge. You would not ask your doctor for financial advice and in the same way, you should not ask a solicitor who normally deals with accidents or divorces about medical claims.\nWe at Armstrong Foulkes know that you would not have contacted us if you had not been through an upsetting experience with the medical profession. That is why we endeavor to make your case run as smoothly as we can, explaining everything as we proceed.\nThere are three main ways of paying for the claim:\nFirstly, Community Legal Service funding (formerly known as Legal Aid). Only a very limited number of children now qualify for this.\nSecondly, you may have a legal expense insurance policy.\nThirdly, we may be able to take your case on a \u201cno win no fee\u201d basis.\nAm I eligible for Community Legal Service Funding/Legal Aid?\nFrom 01/04/2013 Community Legal Service Funding (The new name for Legal Aid) will only be available to a very limited number of applicants. No adult will be eligible for Legal Aid in a potential clinical negligence claim and only children who suffer severe brain injuries in very limited circumstances will qualify. We always recommend that you speak free of charge to one of our specially trained solicitors who can assess your case and your potential eligibility confirming whether this type of funding is available to you or your family.\nWhat is a \u201cNo Win, No Fee\u201d Agreement / Conditional Fee Agreement?\nThis is one of the ways in which you can fund an investigation into your case . If we are able to offer you a \u201cNo Win, No Fee\u201d Agreement (formally known as a Conditional Fee Agreement). Essentially, the \u201d No Win No Fee\u201d Agreement provides that we will not be charging you if you lose your case.\nIf your case is successful then you will receive your compensation (less any agreed deductions for treatment or items you may need for your recovery as the case progresses). Most of our costs are paid by the Defendant or their insurers. Unfortunately due to reforms brought in over recent years we are no longer able to claim all of the costs involved in your case from them. Therefore from your compensation there will be some small charges that you have to pay. However, we will go through these with you before you sign any agreement.\nIf your case is unsuccessful we will be unable to recover any compensation. Provided you have co-operated with us you will not owe us any money for the work we have done in pursuing your claim and we will write off all of the costs we have incurred in reaching that point.\nBasically we are paid only if you win your case which is why it is called \u201cNo Win, No Fee,\u201d. Although strictly speaking once the case is won you owe us the fees we have incurred, in practice most of the payment is made by the defendants/their insurers with a small deduction from your compensation. This is a very basic explanation of how this funding works and before you decide on this type of funding we ensure that you have received detailed information on how it works and the terms & conditions involved. If you would like further information or a more in-depth explanation as to how this works now please telephone us and one of our specialist solicitors would be happy to go through this with you in more detail.\nHow do you investigate my claim?\nThe initial stages in these cases involve obtaining evidence. As specialist solicitors our expertise includes finding the best expert and asking them the right questions. The typical stages are:\nObtaining the medical records \u2013 this may take 1-2 months depending upon where they are kept and how many there are.\nSorting the medical records \u2013 this may take 4-6 weeks. It is vital that the records are in a suitable order for the expert as this will make their job easier.\nLocating an expert \u2013 once we have the records we will approach suitable experts and ask them if they are willing to be involved. If they agree to help, that does not mean that they agree to support the case when it comes to looking at the papers. It just means that they believe that the case falls within their area of expertise.\nInstructing an expert \u2013 we send all of the papers to the expert including the medical records and our client\u2019s statement. It may take the expert anything up to 4-5 months to produce their report.\nOnce we receive the report from our medical expert we will be able to advise you on the strength of your case. In some claims we will require the views of further experts from different areas of medicine before the medical evidence is finalised and we can tell you the likely prospects of recovering compensation in your claim. Without the support of independent medical experts clinical negligence claims cannot succeed.\nWhat happens after the investigation is complete?\nOnce we have obtained reports from independent medical experts in your case it is time to approach the Defendant Doctor, Dentist or NHS Trust. The following steps will occur:\nPutting the case to the defendants \u2013 if the expert is sure that substandard treatment took place, we will then need to put the allegations to the defendants. They normally have 4 months to investigate and reply. If the defendants admit that they were at fault we may be able to negotiate a settlement at this point.\nStarting court proceedings \u2013 if the defendants do not admit fault then we notify the court formally of the disagreement through the issue of court proceedings.\nProceed to trial \u2013 the court will give us and the defendants a timetable of events in order to prepare for trial. A settlement can occur at any time, as most cases settle before the trial. Otherwise the trial will take place approximately 18 months after court proceedings have started. At the trial the judge will decide who has proven their case to his satisfaction.\nWhat is a \u201cLimitation Period\u201d/How long do I have to bring a claim?\nIn all clinical negligence claims a \u201cLimitation Period\u201d applies. This is the date by which the law says that your claim should be investigated and court proceedings issued. This is generally 3 years from the date of the alleged negligent treatment/mistake. However, if you are not aware until months or years later that a mistake has occurred it may be possible to argue that this 3 year time limit does not begin to run until that point. Following recent cases that have been heard at Court, even if this 3 year period has expired it may still be possible to pursue your claim.\nAssessment of the limitation period can be a complicated issue and we recommend that if you are concerned about this you speak to one of our specialist solicitors who would be happy to advise you based on the specific facts of your case.\nWhat is your Complaints Handling policy?\nA: When something goes wrong we need you to tell us about it. This will help us improve our standards. If you have any problem with our service, the level of fees, or the way in which we have dealt with any matter please contact the lawyer dealing handling your case by telephone, email or by post. If you are not happy with the response given then we will ask that you put it in writing and we will then deal with it as follows:\n1. We will send you a letter acknowledging receipt of your complaint within 3 days of receiving your letter or email, enclosing a copy of this procedure.\n2. We will investigate your complaint. This will normally involve passing your complaint to a Partner, providing this Partner is not the subject of the complaint. This Partner will then review your matter file and speak to the lawyer who acted for you.\n3. The Partner will then invite you to a meeting to discuss and hopefully resolve your complaint. He/she will do this within 14 days of sending you the acknowledgement letter.\n4. Within 3 days of the meeting, you will receive a letter to confirm what took place and any solutions he/she has agreed with you.\n5. If you do not want a meeting or it is not possible, we will send you a detailed written reply to your complaint, including our suggestions for resolving the matter, within 21 days of sending you the acknowledgement letter.\n6. At this stage, if you are still not satisfied, you should write to us again and we will arrange for our Managing Partner to review the decision. If the Managing Partner dealt with the initial complaint then at this stage they will refer it to another Partner, again provided they are not the subject of the complaint.\nI want people to hear what happened to me - can you put me in touch with newspapers/media?\nA: People often contact us and tell us that they want the public to hear about what happened to them, often to raise awareness of the problems in the NHS. One way to do this is to share what happened with a newspaper or TV journalist and people often ask us how to go about doing this. If this is something you are interested in we can put you in touch with local and national newspapers. This can happen at the start of the case, during the case or at the end depending on the individual circumstances. Our solicitors are happy to advise you how best to go about this and at what stage, please don\u2019t hesitate contact us about this if you would like assistance of this type.",

        "title": "HPV\u2019s Greater Health Risk",
        "raw_content": "HPV\u2019s Greater Health Risk\nHuman papillomavirus, or HPV, has gained much attention over the past decade, as more research points to its strains as causes of certain types of cancer. Now a report by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows that the risk may be more widespread than previously thought.\nThe report, released last month, found that nearly 1 in 5 U.S. adults under the age of 60 are infected with one of 14 \u201chigh-risk\u201d strains of HPV. These strains, according to other studies, are sexually transmitted and have been linked to 31,000 cancer cases each year. Those cases include cervical, vaginal, vulvar, penile and oral cancers.\nJose S. Soza, M.D., a family medicine physician with Baptist Health Primary Care, has seen patients with HPV-related cancer and credits an increased awareness of the ill effects of the virus to early diagnosis of these cancers.\nIncreased Awareness About HPV\n\u201cWe\u2019re getting to know more about HPV,\u201d he said. \u201cPatients are more aware of it and more open to discussing it and its early symptoms with their doctors.\u201d\nHe points to HPV-related infections, such as genital warts, to illustrate that openness. He says more sexually active young adults are more likely now than just a decade ago to seek treatment for this common sexually transmitted disease, or STD.\nScreenings Available\nBut, Dr. Soza warns that the typical STD screenings do not include HPV testing. \u201cWe check for chlamydia, syphilis, Herpes I and Herpes II, and HIV, but HPV is not routine in these types of blood tests,\u201d he said. For routine HPV testing, he says the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) guidelines recommends women, ages 30-65, have an HPV test in combination with a Pap test if they want to extend their screening to every five years. This \u201cco-test\u201d determines if high-risk strains of HPV are present in the cervix.\nDr. Soza points out, however, that the American Cancer Society recommends that women between 21 and 29 have a Pap test every three years \u2013 at ages 21, 24 and 27 \u2013 to test for cervical cancer and pre-cancers. These women, the American Cancer Society guidelines say, should not get the HPV test, in combination with the Pap test, because HPV is so common in this age group that it\u2019s not helpful to test for it unless a Pap test shows abnormal results.\nHPV tests can also be used as a tool for detecting anal cancer, but the evidence to suggest regular screening remains insufficient, Dr. Soza says.\nSimilarly, there are no routine pre-cancer screening guidelines for penile, oral or vulvar cancer. Penile and vulvar HPV infections may show up as lesions on the skin. HPV infections of the mouth, tongue or throat often cause lesions, swelling, hoarseness or general discomfort, and are detected incidentally while trying to determine the cause of those symptoms.\nSince 2006, HPV vaccines have been available to girls and women between the ages of 9 and 26. In 2009, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) also approved an HPV vaccine for males between the same ages. Dr. Soza recommends his patients follow these vaccination schedules to prevent some of the high-risk strains of HPV that have been shown to develop into certain types of cancer.\nThe CDC guidelines recommend routine HPV vaccination at age 11 or 12 years for both boys and girls. Before the age of 15, the recommended immunization is two doses, administered 6 to 12 months apart. After age 15, the CDC recommends three doses of the HPV vaccine, with the second dose administered 1 to 2 months after the first dose, and the third dose given 6 months after the first dose.\nFor people who missed earlier HPV vaccinations, females may receive the vaccine through age 26 and males through age 21 years. Males aged 22 through 26 years may also be vaccinated.\nFor adults who did not receive the HPV vaccine prior to their 26th birthday, Dr. Soza encourages the use of barrier protection during sexual activity. As with other STDs, condoms effectively reduce the risks of spreading HPV between partners.\nBe Body-Aware\nAdditionally, Dr. Soza recommends reporting any genital sores, oral discomfort or other unusual symptoms to a doctor, dentist or other healthcare provider, so they can determine if the underlying cause is an HPV infection and take appropriate action.\n\u201cHPV and the cancers it can cause are a significant public health concern,\u201d he said. \u201cBut awareness and taking proper preventive steps can reduce individuals\u2019 risks now and in the future. We\u2019re hopeful that the steps we\u2019re implementing today will lead to a tangible reduction in the number of cases of HPV-related cancers in the decades ahead.\u201d\nTags: Baptist Health Primary Care, cancer, cervical cancer, HPV vaccines, Jose Soza M.D., oral cancer",

He was educated at Westminster School, Oxford [matriculated from Jesus 1773, B.A. from S. Alban Hall 1778, M.A. 1779, B.D. 1783 ], and Edinburgh, where he graduated M.D. He settled at Shrewsbury, and, after his father's death, at Llwyn-y-groes. He married Jane Wilson of Cheshire, by whom he had five sons and four daughters. He was interested in the study of bees, and gave useful notes in a didactic poem entitled \u2018The Bee.\u2019\nHe appears, from the minute book of the Royal Society of Arts, to have republished his father's maps about 1799, but as the sales did not cover the cost of production he sought to take advantage of the Society's offer of a premium to persons who \u2018should complete and publish an accurate survey of any one country of not less than one inch to the mile.\u2019 Although he did not strictly comply with this condition, the Society made an award of forty-five guineas for the maps on the recommendation of its Committee of Polite Arts, 25 March 1802. On 11 August 1802 Shrewsbury papers announced the publication of \u2018a new and improved impression of Evans Reduced Map of North Wales,\u2019 in which \u2018are inserted several new or intended roads.\u2019 From this it would seem that the maps for which Evans received the award were his father's, and that his own contribution amounted to no more than the insertion of roads in the edition of August 1802. He died in October 1846 at the home of his son, archdeacon Evans, at Heversham, Westmorland.\nThree of the sons of John Evans may be noticed: ROBERT WILSON EVANS (1789 - 1866), cleric, Fellow and tutor of Trinity College, Cambridge, a prolific author who became archdeacon of Westmorland; THOMAS EVANS (1791 - 1853), a naval officer who saw active service in the Napoleonic wars; and WILLIAM EDWARD EVANS (1801 - 1869), cleric, who became canon of Hereford. They are all commemorated in Williams, Montgomeryshire Worthies, and Robert Wilson Evans figures also in the D.N.B.\nR.

        "title": "Complete Guide to Billing & Payments for Child Care Centers",
        "raw_content": "Many preschool owners open their child care centers with most of their focus on their day-to-day operations: activity schedules, meal plans, teacher scheduling, and so on. While all of these items are dealt with, billing and payments can be an afterthought, which is unfortunate because they are essential for the business to stay in operation!\nA lack of focus on the business side of child care sets daycare owners down a slippery slope of dozens of forms of payment, lack of financial tracking, and late or \u2014 even worse \u2014 missed payments from parents. While many child care center owners may think of themselves as small business owners, the fact is that their centers are businesses and, in order to stay in operation and be successful, they need to think of themselves as such.\nIn this guide, we\u2019ll go over how to properly manage billing and payments for child care center owners. Chances are that you are probably already doing most of the things on this list, but pay close to attention to the ways you are doing so. Follow these business best practices to make sure you are truly providing the best experience for the parents, staff and children in your care.\nDisclaimer: Before making any big changes to your business finances, it\u2019s always best to consult with an accountant or financial advisor.\nEstablishing how much to charge is one of the most difficult things for any business since you want to charge high while your customers want to pay low. Even if you are not entirely motivated by making a huge profit, you still need to ensure that you charge enough to cover all of your operating expenses and earn enough income to make all of your hard work worthwhile.\nTo determine a fair enrollment cost, first add up everything it will cost to operate your business. Do you have staff to pay? Rent? Class supplies? What about your own salary? By totalling how much it costs to operate your business, you\u2019ll have a clearer understanding of what you\u2019ll need to at least stay afloat. Also, don\u2019t forget about taxes!\nIt is also important is to understand how much your competition is charging. Parents will be comparing prices, so it\u2019s important to be within the same range as what other centers cost (or if you charge more, you need to convey why the extra costs are justified). Look around on websites for nearby child care centers and see if they list their pricing. If not, you can even go undercover and call to ask for pricing information.\nIf it\u2019s tax time and all you\u2019ve kept track of is where your 17 loose piles of invoices, receipts and cash are, then you\u2019re not in for a good time. If you don\u2019t even have receipts or invoices in the first place, then you\u2019re really in trouble.\nTo keep on top of payments and billing, it is crucial for you to have a good handle on your numbers. Whether it is through a simple spreadsheet or a child care app, maintaining an up-to-date record of parent billing and the status of their payments will enable you to know who owes what at any given time.\nAn example of a payment summary.\nWhile bookkeeping can be done in a paper ledger, nowadays keeping digital records can be much easier and safer. Unlike paper, information stored digitally is much less likely to be lost. It is also easier to search through this information and then analyze it in various ways.\nTo collect payments from parents, you\u2019ll first need to ensure that you have proper invoicing and billing in place.\nTo avoid headaches later on, make sure that your invoices are detailed and accurate. Your future self will thank you, as this will prevent issues that you will need to investigate and fix.\nMost of the time, invoices will remain the same each month; however, they may change from month to month depending on any extra services that were purchased. Before sending out your invoices, go through your records (which you did if you were following along earlier in the article!) and update accordingly \u2014 or better yet, add these items as they come up throughout the month so all you have to do at the end of the month is press send.\nCreating an invoice in HiMama.\nAs for the format you send your invoices in, email is a great option because it is less likely to get lost. It is also the quickest way to get them over to parents, which will help them send your payments in sooner. This will also make it easier to send reminders or re-send invoices if parents cannot find them if that comes up in the future.\nMany child care centers try to be as accommodating as possible, and so they will accept numerous forms of payment. Unfortunately, the more forms of payment you accept, the more chaotic things can become administratively. When you accept anything under the sun like e-transfer, credit card, cheque, cash and buckets of quarters, knowing how much money you have at any given time can be difficult to track.\nIf possible, electronic payments are the easiest option for both parents and administrators, since no trips to the bank will be needed for withdrawing cash or depositing cash and cheques. While there is usually a small processing fee involved with electronic payments, when you consider the amount of time you\u2019ll save by not needing to manually process and keep track of multiple payment forms, many centers consider this money well-spent.\nWhether intentional or not, late payments are a fact of life at any child care center. When you combine busy parents of active toddlers with educators who have to spend all day with those same children, it\u2019s not exactly a recipe for timely bill payments and processing.\nTimely payments are crucial for keeping your business running smoothly, and so it is very important to have a system in place to ensure you receive payments on time.\nTo start, set up a system for you to be able to easily see who owes what at any given time. For instance, the invoices section of your HiMama account will let you filter your records to just show payments that have been paid, have not been paid yet or are overdue.\nSpotting overdue payments and resending invoices in HiMama.\nAs a payment due date approaches, you can be proactive and contact parents to make sure they submit their payments soon. You can even be extra helpful by resending the invoice, or accept partial payments and easily keep track of those to be extra accommodating.\nSimilar to credit cards and banks, establishing consequences for missing a due date can also help make sure parents stick to your schedule. If you don\u2019t have a late penalty already, consider adding an additional charge if you do not receive payment by the due date. Just make sure you send invoices with plenty of time to submit a payment so parents have a fair chance to pay their balance before incurring late fees.\nExample of creating an invoice for a late fee.\nPaying Staff\nWhen it comes to managing the finances of your daycare, paying your staff should be one of your first priorities. After all, with no staff, you won\u2019t have anyone to care for the children.\nThere are many payroll software solutions out there to choose from, and which one you choose will depend on your needs and preferences. If you operate a small child care center and are doing this yourself, look for options that provide great customer support on a schedule that works best for you. If need be, it can be more worthwhile to pay a bit more to ensure that your staff has no issues with getting paid.\nLike with parents, avoiding special exceptions and multiple forms of payment will make things easier for you in the long run. Stick to a regular pay schedule and paying by direct deposit or cheque. As you may have guessed, going paperless as much as possible is ideal, so direct deposit is the more recommended and standard option.\nAs they say, you have to spend money to make money. Whether it\u2019s teaching supplies, cleaning products or snacks, there are many expenses that go into running a child care center.\nAs with everything else nowadays, there are many software solutions out there designed to manage business expenses. One advantage of choosing expense tracking software is that you can specify what category each expense is for, and then easily notice trends over time to identify areas you are spending too much in. You can also attach screenshots of your receipts (and in some cases automatically extract all of the information from this so you don\u2019t have to type anything), which will make it easier to keep a record of all of your documentation.\nEven though it happens at the same time every year, tax season always has a way of sneaking up on all of us. Nothing is worse than having to backtrack and figure out your numbers because of poor bookkeeping\u2026except for owing a large amount that you weren\u2019t expecting!\nOn each invoice, you can make collecting taxes really simple by adding it to your invoice. This not only ensures you collect the required amount, but also makes it easier to recall these numbers later when it\u2019s time to file your taxes.\nBy keeping detailed invoicing and tax records, you can also make things easier for the parents. In just a few clicks, you\u2019ll be able to generate a tax receipt to parents without needing to do any calculations!\nCreating a tax receipt for parents.\nAs you can see, by digitizing your record-keeping and keeping everything in as few locations as possible, it is easy to slice and dice this information to get relevant information quickly and efficiently.\nNo matter what type of child care center you run, at the end of the day it is a business and so keeping a good handle on your finances is critical in order to make it successful. With all of the work that goes into being a child care provider, making billing and payments simpler will save you a lot of tedious work in the long run.\nIn addition to digital invoices, billing and processing payment information, HiMama also creates a great experience for parents by communicating all of their child\u2019s development in your programs. Parents can see what happened each day, and track this progress over time. To learn more about how HiMama can help your child care center, fill out the form below to schedule a live demo!",

        "raw_content": "The importance of managing time in the classroom\nThe other day I spent a very long day sitting in the Texas Concealed Handgun Instructor certification renewal class. It was a very long day (class officially started at 8:00 AM and I didn\u2019t leave until 7:00 PM). There were a few things that stood out to me about the class, but one thing in particular.\nClassroom time management.\nWhen you have a particular set of material that you must cover, you must be aware of how you present that material in a manner that is not only effective but also sensitive to time constraints.\nThere are a few big time killers.\nFirst, anecdotes. There\u2019s no question anecdotes aid learning. It gives real-world perspective to what is being taught, and the impact of the story can aid in retention of the material. But anecdotes must be used sparingly. If every bullet-point on the slide is accompanied by a story, everything will drag out. Furthermore, a heavy amount of stories lessens the impact of those stories, both from overload and the restlessness of the audience with \u201cOh boy, another war story\u201d. Sometimes as well, it expends further time because now others want to chime in with their stories. And the time-wasting grows.\nWhat can make this worse is when you have multiple instructors (e.g. co-teaching) and everyone feels a need to chime in. Yes, we all like to make our pet points, yes we all have things to say. But all instructors must be mindful of keeping on time and on track, and sometimes that means shutting up. This isn\u2019t to say the other instructors must remain in silence, but that the entire teaching team must have their watches synchronized and do their part in keeping the classroom on track and on time.\nSecond, and this isn\u2019t so much a time-killer as a morale one, but setting time-expectations. When you start off saying this next section should only take 20 minutes to do, then it winds up taking 45 \u2014 because of so many anecdotes \u2014 people are going to be annoyed. When the invitation says class should be done by 6:00 PM then you start going on about how we\u2019re going to run over because time\u2019s being wasted, but then you\u2019re the one wasting the time? Um\u2026 doesn\u2019t sit well with folks.\nFurthermore, when you know Q&A is an important part of the reason for holding the classroom session, then there\u2019s almost no time alloted for Q&A because all the time was used up by stories and other time-wasters, that\u2019s a problem \u2014 especially when you set the expectation that part of the reason we\u2019re there is to have open lines of communication between the students and instructors.\nThird, underpromise and overdeliver. This goes back to the time issues. If you say \u201cthis is going to take 20 minutes\u201d then you take 45, people are going to be upset. When you say we\u2019ll be out by 6PM then we\u2019re not out until 7PM, people are going to be upset. Instead, you should say it\u2019ll take 45 and deliver it in 30, or that we\u2019ll be out by 6PM but we\u2019re actually done by 5. Be more realistic in setting your expectations, overestimate a little bit, and that way if you run up to that time then at worst you did what you said; if you still go over, hopefully then it won\u2019t be by much; and if you go under, everyone will love you.\nFinally, realize that it\u2019s your classroom. You are the one in charge. If you set rules for classroom procedure, you need to follow and enforce those rules. Furthermore, you should not chastise the students for being the time-wasters, because if the students are wasting time it\u2019s only because you are the one allowing them to waste the time. If you set rules that questions should be held until a particular point of the presentation, you should not be acknowledging hands raised at other times during the presentation (other than perhaps to say \u201cI see you, we\u2019ll take questions at the end\u201d\u2026 do that a few times and everyone will get it and things will flow better). But of course, you must ensure to allot and then preserve that Q&A time \u2014 it cannot be sacrificed because you failed in other areas of time management. If the classroom fails to run smoothly and on time, it\u2019s not the fault of the students, it\u2019s the fault of the instructor.\nI do understand how this goes. I have to run classrooms, I assist in classrooms. I\u2019ve been there, done that. I know I have my own things to work on, and that\u2019s probably why these things stood out to me because these are things I see in myself and my own classrooms. Things we\u2019ve worked on, things we still need to improve upon. I don\u2019t say this to be ugly to the instructors of my CHL-I class, but rather as feedback from one instructor to another on how we can all work to make our classrooms better, more productive, and more conducive to successful learning.\nEducation, Guns, Teaching\n2 thoughts on \u201cThe importance of managing time in the classroom\u201d\nAfter more years then I want to consider in college class rooms, I came up with a simple way of expressing it (regarding anecdotes) \u201cIt should make the class think about the issue, not how smart or experienced the teacher is\u201d\nFor too many of the items under discussion an anecdote really isn\u2019t need; the subject matter just isn\u2019t that complicated or controversial. This is especially true regarding Concealed Carry;I wish instructors would focus on a few items that really need to be covered in depth.\nThat\u2019s a good way to encapsulate it.\nStill tho, I know of times when it fits that mode, yet\u2026 it\u2019s still not right. It might just be unnecessary (did it actually lend to the discussion in a way that was vital?). It might just be a matter of simple time management and effective classroom use.\nNevertheless, I dig your take on it\u2026 because most of the time war stories are best left for after class over a root beer.\nIt\u2019s my hope that with the CHL classroom reduction to 4-6 hours, we\u2019ll have a lot more wheat and less chaff in the classroom.",

        "title": "The Fool on the Hill: The Great Replumbing",
        "raw_content": "You'll recall, if you've been reading this blog with any attention, that I built this house in a hurry, as protection from winter, at a time when I was broke and suffering significantly from depression, and with the intention that it should be a temporary dwelling while I sought planning permission for the house I really wanted to build.\nThere were things which were done poorly, partly because I was broke and partly because I wasn't anywhere near the top of my game. I salvaged a gas hob a caravan that was being demolished. It was free, and was a heck of a lot better than the camping stove I'd used in the summer palace, but it was partly broken and burned poorly, creating lots of soot. I couldn't work out how to get to the jets to clean them, and over time all my pans became hideously sooty. Over the past six months, I've become increasingly aware that the dirt it was producing was itself depressing me.\nThen, the hot water system. The hot water system was put together in a hurry, and not well. I plumbed the hot cylinder directly into the thermosyphon circuit rather than using its indirect coil, largely because doing so used less copper pipe and copper pipe is expensive. This meant, of course, that iron sludge from the back boiler in the stove accumulated in the cylinder and stained the hot water, which again isn't perfect.\nFurthermore, the water in the cylinder boiled if I tried to get the oven hot enough to cook in, so the amount of cooking I could do with the stove is limited - I could neither bake nor roast.\nI'd intended to put the bath under the stairs, behind the back of the stove. Again it meant less plumbing, but it seemed like a good idea at the time. I didn't want to put the bath directly against the clay-rendered walls because, of course, water has a rather disastrous effect on clay render. But in practice the inevitably dark corner of the house between the wall, the bath and the hot water tank became and remained a rather dirty dumping ground for all sorts of unwanted items, and that too left me less than cheered. Finaly, I'd made the structure which supported the water tank very quickly and not well out of unwanted left-over scraps of wood, and it looked a mess. It reminded me whenever I saw it of how rough I'd been when I made it.\nTaken together, all these things mean that I'd never actually photographed that corner of the house, which is why there's no real 'before' picture in this post. And so many things in the house needed to change. One of the things I planned for this winter was what I called in my head 'the great replumbing'.\nFirstly, I have panelled the rear corner of the house with match-boarding, on the back wall up to 'dado-rail height', on the north wall right up to the wallhead. This is a bit experimental. In theory you shouldn't have any structure joining the sill plate to the wall plate on a structural bale wall, because the bales should be allowed to compress naturally. However, the walls have been up eighteen months, and they have not compressed very much; furthermore I'm guessing that they've done most of the compressing they're ever going to do, at least until the house finally rots.\nSecondly, I've made a new cabinet - properly, or, at least, very much better - to house the water cylinder; this one has a proper storage cupboard, with a door, under the cylinder, and an airing cupboard beside the cylinder.\nThen I bought a second hand gas hob unit off eBay, which arrived beautifully packaged. It doesn't exactly fit into the cabinet I made for the old one, but is good enough. It burns clean, is easy to maintain, and as an added bonus, has four rings instead of two.\nI bought two radiators, one a heated towel rail, one a panel radiator as big as I could fit on the back wall. The objective of this was mainly to be able to pump heat out of the stove without boiling the water in the cylinder.\nAnd finally, with help from Fred Coleman, I replumbed. The thermosyphon circuit now goes through the indirect coil in the cylinder, so the water in the hot taps is now clean. The central heating circuit is taken off thermosyphon circuit, bypassing the cylinder, to allow me to dump heat. An electric pump is designed to circulate water through the central heating circuit. The bath is moved into the back corner of the house, against the newly panelled walls.\nAnd a lot of this has worked wonderfully. The house is so much cleaner! The former dumping ground is now definitely the most attractive, well finished part of the interior. With the central heating pump running, the house becomes very warm - warmer, even, than urban people keep their houses. The pump is quiet, and seems to use very little electricity. The new hob improves life enormously.\nSo what hasn't worked, or, at the moment, doesn't work?\nI can't heat the hot water above tepid. For some reason, the water is preferring to circulate through the central heating circuit rather than through the coil. This is really critical, because for me long hot baths are essential to a good life. Also, the thermosyphon circuit still boils, if I run the stove too hot, so I still can't bake.\nObviously these problems are related. If I could get the hot water to heat, it would take heat out of the thermosyphon, which wouldn't boil nearly so easily, so I could run the stove hotter for longer. [Later: the problem proved to be an air-lock, and simply fixed. Now I can have hot baths again and bake. It's still possible to boil the water, however - one big radiator is not enough to dump all the heat my stove can produce]\nThe solution I'm considering is to fit a venturi tee to the return side of the thermosyphon circuit, where the central heating rejoins. This would mean that the pumped water in the central heating circuit would entrain water from the coil, effectively sucking hot water through it. However, as far as I can see it would still mean that the cylinder would only heat significantly when the pump was running, so I'm not convinced this is the optimum solution. What I want to do is heat the hot water preferentially and then switch on the pump when the hot water reaches a pleasant bath temperature, in order to dump excess heat into warming the house.\nHowever, the great replumbing has crystallised a thought which has been growing steadily in my mind for a year now. I like this house. I like it very much. I'm happy with it - contented with it. I don't actually want to build another.",

The theme of the workshop, held at the National Academies of Sciences in Washington, DC, was \"The Role of Business in Multi-Sector Obesity Solutions: Working Together for Positive Change.\" Jump IN was highlighted as a model for how business and civic leaders in a community can come together to seek comprehensive solutions to public health crises like childhood obesity.\nElevating Jump IN's profile among national experts was certainly one benefit of the day, but identifying opportunities to connect our work with other innovative programs around the country was equally important. Here are just a few of the opportunities we're now pursuing as a result of those connections:\nTalking with the Clinton Foundation's Health Matters Initiative about partnering on an employee wellness program for small and midsize employers that will be piloted in six cities around the country.\nWorking with UpLift Solutions, a nonprofit in Philadelphia promoting innovative solutions to food access issues in low-income communities, to assess the viability of those solutions for Indianapolis neighborhoods.\nMeeting with the Bipartisan Policy Center to connect its health professionals training program with the continuing medical education program that our Clinician Engagement Task Force is developing for this fall.\nDiscussing ways to collaborate with the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce in Tennessee, on health assessments and interventions to address obesity and related chronic health conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension.\nI'm confident that additional opportunities will arise from our participation in the workshop. The Roundtable will publish a summary of the workshop later this year, and we will link that to our website and share the information when it becomes available.\nSpecial thanks to Dorothy Hoffman, Director, Global Public Policy for Eli Lilly, who originally introduced Jump IN to the workshop organizers, and to Jim Whitehead, president of the American College of Sports Medicine, a member of our Leadership Council, and a member of the Roundtable on Obesity Solutions, who also recommended that Jump IN be part of the workshop.\nRead more in Dorothy Hoffman's blog post about the Roundtable.\nWritten by Ron Gifford, CEO\nSmall changes, significant impact NEXT \u00bb\nChild obesity prevalence rates still rising",

        "title": "The New Staffroom \u2013 Stuajnht's Blog",
        "raw_content": "The New Staffroom\n23rd September 2016 9th November 2016\nLast year we got ourselves a new office. This year, it was the rest of the staffs turn. Well, that\u2019s not entirely true. They already had a staffroom, but it was to be converted into offices for use by inclusion staff instead (the official reasoning for this is: \u201cInclusion is at the heart of the school, so Inclusion should be in the heart of the school\u201d). Therefore, the only place to put the new staffroom was in the last large remaining space left in the whole school (which was a large storeroom [which was a locker room {which was a changing room}] but was meant to be a fitness room).\nThe original items in storage in the new staffroom\nAs it was currently being used as a storeroom, the first job was to move everything out of it. The only problem with this was where to put all the stuff as there was quite a bit put in there over the last few years. We chose the far and of the dining hall and left it at that.\nIf you\u2019ve got nowhere to put stuff, dump it elsewhere\nThe next steps that needed to be done were to design the room layout. My colleague and I work in IT, but we\u2019re willing to give anything within reason a go. After moving some chairs and tables around from the old staffroom to get a measure of space, along with standing around to indicate where things should go, we managed to come up with a layout that covered all of the items we\u2019d been told needed to go in there (computer area, seating area, lockers, pigeon holes, kitchen, photocopier, marking area, policies / documentation area and two locations to make phone calls). This wasn\u2019t an easy feat either, as the new room was smaller than the previous one.\nActually, this room seems the same size in photos\u2026\nAfter getting the plans agreed with by the headteacher, we spoke with the usual electricians and networking people to let them know what would be happening. An outside builder was also contracted in, who would do the building work that was needed (false ceiling, desk areas, kitchen) and everyone agreed that the building work would start in the first week of August, meaning the electricians could come in on the third week to do their stuff, ready for the term to start in September.\nThings started to not go so well\nThe first week of August came round and nothing happened. Then the second. It wasn\u2019t until sometime in the third week that any building work was started. Throughout that week the false ceiling was installed, taken down, then installed again.\nEveryone knows version 1 of anything is the tester for version 2\nAll bugs and feature requests were (mostly) satisfied in version 2\nWhen I said most bugs were fixed in version 2, I still think the ceiling needs to be patched to 2.1\nThe kitchen was the next area that building work was to be undertaken. That, and the batons along the walls to hold up the desks. By this time, the electricians needed to start their work, otherwise it wouldn\u2019t be finished before term started (I think you can see it won\u2019t be, but we lived in hope at the time).\nYou\u2019re seeing the sped up version of this building work\u2026\nSeptember rolled around. Staff started back on the 7th, and it was currently the 5th. The ceiling was mostly up, the kitchen was in place and a half height wall had been built to divide the computer area from the seating area (to keep work and socialising separated, supposedly). Most of the electrics were in and the networking had also been installed.\nThis is where the staff can hide. Whose idea was that wall?\nIt\u2019s starting to take shape now\nI liked the blue coverings on the kitchen cabinets. No-one else did\nTerm started. Oh dear, it\u2019d run over. Credit to the builders, they\u2019d worked over the weekend to get most of the room ready, but it wouldn\u2019t have been needed had they started at the scheduled time. However, most of the things were now in place, and all that was really needed was the computers, photocopier and furniture.

All that\u2019s needed now is some carpet (it was agreed at the start that carpet wouldn\u2019t be needed and could be installed afterwards. Don\u2019t ask\u2026) and to find a place for all of the stuff that was taken out of it at the beginning of the holidays.\nBy accident, this photo is taken in almost the same location as the previous one\nYou can see all the way from here to, well, the other wall\nBonus \u2013 Three Fun Facts\nThere\u2019s only one radiator in this room, and no-one is sure if it works.\nThe pipes go into the floor and it\u2019s impossible to get to them as the basement area underneath is a sealed off void full of rubble and asbestos.\nThe room is north facing and is known to have ice on the windows in Winter.\nPrevious: Previous post: Fun With Monitoring Software\nNext: Next post: We Have The Summer Holidays For This\u2026",

        "raw_content": "En route to looking at houses on Wednesday, I noticed a line of CP engines near Waverley in Winnipeg. It seemed strange to me to see them there, and when I looked closer I could see that one was in the process of being scrapped. I went back later that day and took a few photos to try to identify the units.\nCP 5666 had its hood off, obviously in the process of being scrapped. The other units were: 5707, 5392, 5712, ????, 1584, 1537, 1613, 1506, 1593?, 1524.\nOn Friday 5666 and 5707 both had their engines removed. Basically all that was left was the cab, a center pillar, and the back end.\nEDIT: \"13 units sold by CP to Rail & Motor International and moved to an industrial spur at Universal Reload for parts salvage and scrapping. Units as follows: CP 1506, 1524, 1537, 1584, 1586, 1613, 1693, 5392, 5419, 5640, 5666, 5707 and 5712.

        "raw_content": "What You Need to Know About Medicare\u2019s 30-Day Readmission Policy for FY 2016\nBeginning in 2016, most U.S. hospitals will receive less money from Medicare due to the number of patients who return within 30 days of discharge.\nNewly released data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) reveals only 799 out of more than 3,400 hospitals subject to the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program faced no penalty.\nCreated under the Affordable Care Act, the readmissions program evaluated how often patients treated for things like pneumonia, heart attack and heart failure had to return to the hospital for readmission within 30 days of discharge. If a hospital had a readmission rate that was too high, its Medicare payments were docked 1 percent in fiscal 2013 and 2 percent in fiscal 2014. Now, for fiscal year 2015, facilities will see a 3 percent penalty and also will be evaluated for readmissions within the 30-day window for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and total hip and knee replacements.\nThe penalties total close to $420 million for about 2,665 hospitals nationwide.\nThough two additional conditions have been added to the list, the penalties will apply to all Medicare patients admitted for any condition, noted the Dispatch.\nStrategies for Reducing Readmission Rates\nBradley EH, et al. (Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes, 2013) conducted research of 599 hospitals to identify strategies that resulted in lower readmission rates for heart failure patients. Researchers identified the following six strategies:\nPartnering with community physicians or physician groups to reduce readmission\nPartnering with local hospitals\nMaking nurses responsible for medication reconciliation\nArranging follow-up appointments before discharge\nHaving a process to send all discharge summaries \u2014 paper or electronic \u2014 to the patient\u2019s primary care physician\nAssigning staff to follow up on any test results that come back after the patient has been discharged\nResearchers found the more of these strategies hospitals implemented, the lower the risk-standardized 30-day readmission rates they had.\nSimilar strategies can be employed to help reduce readmissions regardless of the condition. Research suggests a patient needs assessment, medication reconciliation, patient education, scheduling timely follow-up appointments and providing follow-up by phone all play an important role in reducing readmission rates.\nTopics: Hospital Administration, CABG Surgery",

        "raw_content": "I am is an award-winning photographer and writer, located in Estevan, Saskatchewan. My focus is on high-impact, highly technical commercial photography.\nMy career in journalism started as a high school newspaper editor at the Yorkton Regional High School.\nAfter a few years of beating my head against engineering at the University of Saskatchewan, my career took two separate paths \u2013 journalism and pipelining. I spent a year as half of a two-person newspaper called the Saskatoon Journal, and another year as the lone reporter for the Rosetown Eagle.\nThen it was pipelining for several years, first as an excavator oiler, then as an operator. I currently holds a level 2 apprenticeship as an excavator operator, and was 1000 hours from my journeyman when God decided a life sleeping in your own bed is more important. In 2003, I became the senior reporter with the Battlefords News-Optimist, chasing fire trucks, politicians, cops and robbers.\nIn May, 2008, I combined my oilpatch experience with journalism, becoming one of the founding reporters with Saskatchewan\u2019s petroleum monthly newspaper, Pipeline News. In November, 2008, I packed up my family moved to Estevan to become editor of Pipeline News.\nEntirely self taught, both as a journalist and photographer, my experience has shown hard work and a willingness to learn can result in top-notch performance. Between commercial shoots, weddings, sports and news, I have taken over 500,000 photos in the past 11 years in a professional capacity.\nMy wife Michelle Zinchuk and I have been married since May, 1999, and have two young children, Katrina and Spencer. Katrina already has her own pro Nikon camera, and Spencer is learning on his point and shoot.\nOver the years my photography business has evolved. First there was a substantial amount of wedding photography. That was followed by five years of intensive sports photography, with many a weekend spent in a rink covering a hockey tournament. I have shot hockey, football, softball, baseball, soccer, tae kwon do, water polo, synchronized swimming and stock car racing over the years. There\u2019s also been some portrait work done in between.\nMore recently commercial photography has taken over as the main focus. Most of this is oilfield related. I am one of the few photographers in southeast Saskatchewan who has all his safety tickets required to go on leases and rights-of-way. More importantly, I have experience in photography almost every aspect of the oil business, from drilling rigs to pump providers.\nA recent specialization in virtual tours has garnered a lot of interest. This is a highly specialized form of photography which requires millimetre accuracy for it to work correctly. The result is an immersive experience that is a very useful sales tool.\nA personal project has been landscape photography, often with an oilfield slant. This work will be on sale in the winter of 2012 at the Solar Art Studio in the Estevan Shoppers Mall.\nBetween my news, sports, wedding, portrait and commercial work, there\u2019s very little photographically speaking that I have not done or is not capable of tackling.\n\u201cA mechanic doesn\u2019t buy his tools at Canadian Tire,\u201d I say when asked about the massive cameras hanging from my neck. A good tradesperson believes in using the best tools available to him, and that\u2019s something Brian ascribes to. Thus I ensured I was one of the first people in Canada, and the world, to get my hands on the most recent Nikon flagship camera, the D4, arguably the best digital SLR camera available in the world today. The same goes for my Epson 9900 wide-format printer, or professional-grade Nikon lenses.\nBrian Zinchuk Publishing is a member in good standing with Professional Photographers of Canada, and carries insurance specifically tailored for professional photographers.\nAs an added note, Brian Zinchuk Publishing accepts Visa, MasterCard, or Interac.\nSafety Certificates:\nWhy on earth would a photographer list his safety certificates? If you work in the oilfield, you know why. You need someone who has all their personal protective gear and requisite, current tickets to be allowed on site without hassle. You don\u2019t want to have to dig up some boots for them or find some old coveralls that might fit. This is all taken care of.\nRequisite hardhat, boots, fire retardant coveralls, safety glasses and gloves\nLocations and Environments:\nWhile many photographers may be able to take a photo for you, how many can you trust to go on site and not worry about them getting themselves killed? A short list of commercial environments I have photographed include:\nService rigs\nPipelines, big-inch and flow line\nLease construction\nBatteries (complete)\nCorporate offices and boardrooms\nI have been honoured with several awards as photojournalist, including the Saskatchewan Weekly Newspaper Association Photographer of the Year award for the first two years it was offered, in 2006 and 2007. (The paper I have worked with for the last six years is not part of these competitions). Additionally, I have trained several newspaper photographers who have then gone on to win similar awards themselves.\nSaskatchewan Weekly Newspapers Association Better Newspaper Competition\nBest Feature Photo, 2009\nBest Black and White Photo, 2009\nPhotographer of the Year \u2013 2006, 2007, Third Place in 2008\nColumnist of the Year, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2012.

They bring us moments of superb over-acting from the likes of Kate Winslet and Halle Berry and give us the chance to have a good argument about the mistakes and the well-earned victories.\nBut I\u2019m starting to hate the Oscars.\nHate with a seething passion.\nThe film industry \u2013 by which I mean the good film industry is so geared up to this schmaltzy nonsense that you can\u2019t see a decent film between March and November any more.\nFor half the year you get There Will Be Blood, No Country For Old Men and Slumdog Millionaire. And for the other half you get Transformers, Harry Potter and Mamma Bleedin\u2019 Mia.\nIn order to see all the films I actually want to see at the moment, I\u2019m having to go to the cinema at least once a week. This week it\u2019s a choice between Defiance, The Reader and Che.\nIt\u2019s lucky I\u2019ve already seen Slumdog and Australia or else I\u2019d be doing nothing else this week.\nAnnoyingly, awards season also coincides with the return of 24 and Lost on TV. I\u2019m likely to come out of January talking like a Yank, and saying nothing but \u2018Dammit!\u2019\nCan they not spread them around the year a bit better? Valkyrie, for instance, doesn\u2019t look likely to greatly challenge the other films at the Academy Awards. Couldn\u2019t that have come out in the sleepy months of March and April?\n: 14 Jan 2009 09:00 | Tags: Cinema Films Movies | Comments (0) | Close comments | Report a problem\nReview: Slumdog Millionaire\nLast night I was one of the lucky few to see new film Slumdog Millionaire a few days before its main release.\nAnd I mean few.\nSat in a Midlands cinema, in an area with a fairly large Asian population, I was surprised to find myself surrounded by only around ten people. This was a public preview, advertised in all the places a big cinema chain usually advertises which films it\u2019s showing.\nMillionaire is released on the same day as Defiance, a film starring James Bond and Billy Elliot. That film has received far more press coverage.\nIt has me worried for Slumdog Millionaire\u2019s chances of commercial success.\nIts critical success, however, seems assured. It is, already, the favourite to pick up the Academy Award for Best Film.\nSo I went along thinking this would be the best British film I\u2019d seen in years. I left thinking that it probably was, but that it had also been a little overhyped.\nSlumdog Millionaire is a great film. But it left me a little cold at times. The main character, Jamel (played by Dev Patel and others), is using a world-renowned game show to make contact with the love of his life. He\u2019s not in it for the money, but leaves 20,000,000 rupees richer. The jackpot.\nJamel\u2019s is a great story, brilliantly told on the streets of Mumbai by director Danny Boyle. Yet I felt like there were gaps in his emotional journey. How does he end up in the low-paying call centre job he finds himself in? What drives him to steal from tourists? Why does he try to save the girl of his dreams, but not others who he knows were tortured?\nThe setting for much of the film \u2013 the studio of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire \u2013 also left me uneasy. Sometimes it felt like too much of a plug. Celador, who own the game show, also made the film.\nBut there are scenes of brilliance. The first will bring accusations that Danny Boyle has a fetish for disgusting toilet scenes. The last will bring accusations of pastiche, although I thought it was the most memorable credits sequence I\u2019ve ever seen.\nMumbai, the city, is the true star of the film. Boyle shows it change dramatically over the course of Jamel\u2019s life, although underlying that is the message that \u2018some things never change\u2019.\nAmerican reviewers have been completely swept away by the film. The LA Times calls it: \u201cthe best old-fashioned audience picture of the year\u201d. The Wall Street Journal calls it \u201cthe film world\u2019s first globalized masterpiece\u201d.\nThe best review I read began:\nCancel whatever you\u2019re doing tonight and go see \u201cSlumdog Millionaire\u201d instead.\nThat reviewer was spot on. Slumdog Millionaire is the best British film in a decade. A masterpiece, though? Maybe I need a second viewing once the hype \u2013 even if it is only stateside \u2013 has subsided.\n: 07 Jan 2009 10:00 | Tags: Danny Boyle Film Movies Slumdog Millionaire Who Wants To Be A Millionaire | Comments (1) | Close comments | Report a problem\nThe films to see in 2009.\nSome time last year I promised to give you a list of the ten films I\u2019m most looking forward to in 2009. It took a little longer than I\u2019d planned, but here it is.\nI\u2019m not even remotely a \u2018trekkie\u2019 \u2013 you\u2019d have to pay me to watch the old films or the TV series. But one thing\u2019s different about the 2009 reboot: J.J. Abrams. He\u2019s a fantastic director and writer, and he might just make this weird old thing watchable. The trailer looks a little Transformers but I think it\u2019ll be pretty good nonetheless.\nFilling the void left by Jason Bourne and James Bond this year, Clive Owen brings down the world financial system (oops\u2026 he\u2019s too late!) with help from Naomi Watts. It\u2019s in danger of being a rip-off, with rooftop chases, European city settings and overhead shots of spiral staircases (a la Greengrass) but the trailer leaves me optimistic it\u2019ll be an entertaining film.\nForget about Tom Cruise. Erase him from your mind, if that\u2019s not too Minority Report for you. This film has a brilliant cast, including Eddie Izzard, Kenneth Branagh and Bill Nighy. Just don\u2019t mention the guy in the lead role who will grab all the headlines. It\u2019s too early to tell whether the film\u2019s any good, but the early reviews have been mixed. The trio of British stars should at least make it superbly acted.\nBrad Pitt\u2019s first decent shout at an Oscar in many years, this film sees him age in reverse. He begins as an old man and ends the film as a baby. Budget constraints apparently mean we won\u2019t literally see his face on a CGI baby, but it\u2019ll come pretty close. Hopefully there\u2019s a good enough plot to match the interesting premise.\nIf J.K. Rowling is the McDonalds of book publishing (as I believe she is), then Dan Brown must be Burger King. I doubt I\u2019ll ever read one of his books, but The Da Vinci Code was an entertaining film, with Ian McKellen and Tom Hanks pulling together all the silliness into something pretty entertaining. This prequel, set in the Vatican (which they rebuilt in Hollywood), will be just as silly, but hopefully just as entertaining.\nJohn Simm, David Morrissey and Bill Nighy starred in this TV miniseries a few years ago. It was simply brilliant, and was widely appreciated as being one of the best pieces of British television in years. This film could go either way. It\u2019s been through several casts and writers, but now sits in the more-than-capable hands of Russell Crowe, Ben Affleck and Helen Mirren. It won\u2019t be as good as the TV show, and the trailer suggests it might have lost something in translation to Washington, but I still think it\u2019ll be good. Same director as The Last King of Scotland, too.\nAlmost no-one has any idea what this film is about, but let me put it like this. James Cameron, who made the biggest film ever \u2013 Titanic \u2013 has spent the best part of a decade making this, using purpose-built cameras and shooting in 3D. The plot might be a nonsense, but it might just change cinema as we know it.\nI said, after watching Body of Lies, that Leonardo DiCaprio has quietly become one of my favourite actors. Sam Mendes is one of my five favourite directors. And Kate Winslet isn\u2019t exactly dragging them down in terms of quality. So while this might be a \u2018quiet\u2019 film (i.e. not much happens) it\u2019ll still be beautifully acted and shot, which is enough for me.\n2. Frost v Nixon\nFilms about journalism rarely go wrong \u2013 given the right treatment it\u2019s a pretty thrilling topic (eg All The President\u2019s Men). The theatre production of this was superb \u2013 the film, in familiar hands, should be just as good.\nIn 2008, the best film of the year (imho) was also one of the first, There Will Be Blood. I don\u2019t see 2009 being any different. All of the buzz suggests British film Slumdog Millionaire is going to be sublime. Director Danny Boyle (Sunshine, Trainspotting) hasn\u2019t really done a bad film, but the reviews suggest this is his first with a realistic shot at picking up an Oscar or six. The trailer (below) makes my spine tingle and I can\u2019t wait until this weekend to see it.\nEDIT: Dammit! I missed Defiance and The Boat That Rocked. Go see them too!\n: 05 Jan 2009 10:43 | Tags: Films Movies | Comments (1) | Close comments | Report a problem\nIs that a bandwagon I see before me?\nJust about every newspaper in the land seems to be compiling a Top 10 Films of the Year list, so here\u2019s mine, just in time to beat the Long Eaton Topper.\n999. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Lost Skull\nTruly appalling. I wanted my money back and compensation for hurt feelings.\n998. Sex and the City\nMust admit, I didn\u2019t watch it.\n10. Body of Lies\nFunny when it shouldn\u2019t be, scary when it should. I do think DiCaprio\u2019s just about the best actor out there at the moment, despite his annoying good looks. Russell Crowe\u2019s not much far behind, and put the two of them in a Ridey Scott film and you\u2019re guaranteed a winner.\nGood, but not as good as everyone made out. The Coens seemed to go off on a violence trip, which while appealing to the mostly male film critics of this world, only sometimes made for brilliant cinema.\n8. How To Lose Friends and Alienate People\nSimon Pegg \u2013 makes you proud to be British. My only concern is that he\u2019s kind of the John Cleese of our generation, meaning he\u2019ll a miserable old git in about 30 years time.\n7. Gomorrah\nDifferent from any film on the list (or any film released this year). Beautifully shot and eerily quiet.\nWell, I\u2019m never sure about James Bond films after just one viewing. So I went back a couple of weeks later and it was just as good. Not Casino Royale, but a great lead-in to what will definately be a superb Bond 23.\nCute. Not Toy Story, but close. Please, no sequels though.\nWarm, funny, not afraid of being a \u2018small\u2019 movie,\n3. Batman: The Dark Knight\nSimply the best, biggest and boldest action film in years.\nThe funniest film of the year, under-rated, and under-seen. Once I get hold of the DVD I\u2019ll be inflicting it on anyone who can take the foul language.\nFar superior to No Country for Old Men, which thrashed it in the awards ceremonies that matter. Daniel Day-Lewis and Paul Dano were nothing short of brilliant, and from the film\u2019s opening seconds you know you\u2019re watching something timeless.\nI\u2019ve missed a few I\u2019m sure. Waltz with Bashir might have made it in had I seen it yet. Australia has an outside chance, but the reviews haven\u2019t been brilliant.\nEDIT: I\u2019ve seen Australia now. It\u2019s good, but parts of it annoyed me enough to keep it out of last year\u2019s top 10. Too much comedy, too many shots straight out of the Moulin Rouge playbook (every time I saw the Aborigine grandfather, I thought of Kylie Minogue) and an act too long.\nLater/next week I\u2019ll do the ten films I\u2019m most looking forward to in 2009.\n: 12 Dec 2008 12:27 | Tags: Films Movies Top 10 | Comments (0) | Close comments | Report a problem\nShould we believe reviews of Baz Luhrmann's Australia?\nReviews started leaking out yesterday of Baz Luhrmann\u2019s long-awaited new film, Australia.\nAnd the first ones were all very positive.\nThe Sun, The Times and the Herald Sun in Australia all broke the apparent embargo which said reviews shouldn\u2019t be published until after last night\u2019s premiere in Sydney.\nSo what links the publications who published early, and who all found the film to be \u201cperfect\u201d, \u201cbeautiful\u201d and a \u201clove letter to Australia\u201d?\nThey\u2019re all owned by Australian Rupert Murdoch.\nWho, coincidentally, also owns the film\u2019s production company and distributor.\nNaturally, being the first available reviews, websites that publish reviews of reviews all used the Rupert Murdoch-owned ones.\nFunnily enough, the reviewers who waited for the embargo to be lifted found the film to be \u2018not the masterpiece that we were hoping for\u2019, \u2018not a bad film\u2026 But far from a great one\u2019 and a word that crops up in most of them is \u201ccliched\u201d.\nThe bias is so obvious, even Homer Simpson would notice it.\nEDIT: Even members of the Murdoch stable seem to realise the film might not be the masterpiece they first thought.\n: 19 Nov 2008 10:00 | Tags: Australia Film Rupert Murdoch | Comments (0) | Close comments | Report a problem\nChild\u2013free films \u2013 How did it take this long?\nWriting about web page http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7713781.stm\nVue Cinemas are to start running adult-only film screenings at their cinemas. Initially I thought they were going to start showing pornography, but further reading revealed this to be an even better idea.\nFrom tomorrow, certain screenings of PG, 12A, 15 and 18 films will be for over-18s only.\nMark de Quervain (I kid ye not) from Vue said: \u201cThese screenings have been launched in direct response to overwhelming positive customer feedback obtained from extensive research studies and trials carried out over the past year.\u201d\nThis rivals the election of some black guy as the best news I\u2019ve heard all week.\nThe curse of the yob/chav/townie seems to be geographically-biased to the shittiest parts of Britain (I\u2019ve lived in some of them, you see), but nevertheless I think this nationwide ban on yoof is generally a good thing.\nAll we need now is aptitude tests on entry so that adults-who-behave-like-children receive similar treatment.\n: 06 Nov 2008 19:28 | Tags: Cinema Film Vue | Comments (1) | Close comments | Report a problem\nReview: Atonement (film)\nIan McEwan has \u2013 since about the mid-nineties at least \u2013 had a knack of writing books that are better than 99.9% of everything else that gets published.\nThe Child in Time gets a rough ride from critics, but I think it\u2019s fantastic. Saturday was below his usual standard but still a scintillating read. On Chesil Beach took a simple plot and strung it out without making it prolonged. Amsterdam won the Booker prize, and you can\u2019t do much better than that. And while Atonement didn\u2019t win the Booker Prize, the majority seem to think it\u2019s better than his book that did. And they\u2019d be right.\nAtonement is a three-part novel (plus epilogue) stretching from the 1930s to 1999. Each era depicts a very different time. The first section, set in 1937, is a lavish, dark setting where crimes take place underneath people\u2019s noses. But it is the wrong crime which is reported. The second section is fought on the beaches of Northern France and the hospitals of London in the early 1940s. And the final section is set in the present day.\nWhat makes the novel so powerful is that each section is better than the previous one, even though all are brilliant. McEwan gives you no preparation for where the story will lead next, and delivers a painful sting-in-the-tail at the end of the final act.\nAsked what the story is about, you\u2019d have to think for 30 seconds and then probably settle on \u201catonement\u201d. It\u2019s an apt title, you see.\nSadly the producers of the film version (out next month) have only read up to the third section and only included the important epilogue as an afterthought.\nThe film\u2019s tagline, \u201cJoined by love. Separated by fear. Redeemed by hope.\u201d rather gives it away.\nThis is probably to be expected from Working Title, who have brought us Four Weddings\u2026, Notting Hill, Wimbledon and Joe Wright\u2019s directorial debut, Pride and Prejudice. But it\u2019s wrong. The film is lavish, looks great, and has some good set pieces lifted straight from the page. But it completely confuses who the main character is.\nThe film is Cecilia and Robbie\u2019s story told through Briony\u2019s eyes. The book is Briony\u2019s story told through Briony\u2019s eyes.\nKeira Knightley is very good as Cecilia. She\u2019s the least annoying she\u2019s ever been on film \u2013 although the trailer had me worried. But she steals the show from Briony\u2019s character, who while played brilliantly by three different actresses, isn\u2019t on screen enough.\nAnd if they were going to insist on focusing on Cecilia and Robbie, they should at least have made Robbie (James McAvoy) less understated. Compared with his brilliant performance in The Last King of Scotland, McAvoy seemed half-asleep during the film. I imagined Robbie as younger, angrier and more na\u00efve.\nThe scene on the beach is brilliant, and the three minute-long sweeping shot is just what the story deserved. And to be fair, it\u2019s not a bad film at all. But I wonder if, with the same director, lead actress and a romantic theme with the atonement left as an after-thought, this film is more Pride and Prejudice 2 rather Atonement.\nAtonement is released in cinemas on September 7th\n: 25 Aug 2007 08:43 | Tags: Atonement Film Ian Mcewan James Mcavoy Keira Knightley Movies Review Working Title | Comments (4) | Close comments | Report a problem",

        "raw_content": "Get Out Feature Article (December 24, 1998)\n\u201cBob Corritore\u2019s blues, period\u201d\nGet Out (Mesa Tribune), December 24, 1998\nby Thomas Bond\nLive music clubs rarely inspire loyalty. Fans travel from venue to venue to see favorite groups. Phoenix\u2019s Rhythm Room is an exception.\n\u201cI wouldn\u2019t still be here in Phoenix if it weren\u2019t for the Rhythm Room,\u201d says patron Todd Johnson, a blues lover who says his affinity for the music would have led him elsewhere to live.\nThat kind of devotion is directly attributable to the tireless work of one man. In the Valley music scene, no person\u2019s name is more directly tied to a genre of music than Bob Corritore\u2019s is to the blues. Since he moved to Phoenix in 1981, Corritore has played harmonica with virtually every notable band, hosted a 15 year-and-counting weekly radio program dedicated to the music and helped establish the Rhythm Room as one of the country\u2019s finest blues clubs.\n\u201cHe\u2019s synonymous with the blues in the Valley,\u201d says Scott Williams, program director of KJZZ (91.5 FM) \u2014 the home of Those Lowdown Blues.\nWith the geographical good fortune of growing up in the suburbs of Chicago, Corritore soaked up the music of the Windy City as a young man and has spent his adult life immersed in the blues.\nBob Corritore was born Sept. 27, 1956, in Wilmette, IL. The music that would engulf his life hit him at the early age of \u201c12 or 13.\u201d\n\u201cI first heard blues when I heard Muddy Waters on the radio on a rock station,\u201d Corritore says. \u201cThere\u2019s a song that Muddy did called, Rolling Stone \u2014 which the Rolling Stones named themselves after. I heard it and it was everything that I\u2019d been listening for in music; it was great. That was it for me \u2014 I knew what I wanted out of music when I heard that. It was wonderful. It was so immediate and so tough, and at the same time passionate and lurking and ominous. It really got to me.\u201d\n\u201cRight after that, I bought my first Muddy Waters record and started playing harmonica \u2014 inspired by Little Walter\u2019s harmonica work on that record. It was also the start of my blues record collection.\u201d Corritore says. Today that collection \u2014 \u201ca work in progress,\u201d he says \u2014 would easily fill an independent record store.\nThe boy\u2019s parents, Sam and Bernice, supported their son\u2019s interest in the blues.\n\u201cThey accepted it fine \u2014 it wasn\u2019t quite as noisy as rock \u2018n\u2019 roll,\u201d Corritore laughs. \u201cThey probably found it a little bit of relief when it was on my stereo.\u201d\nCorritore spent much of his time playing harmonica along to records and jamming with friends during free periods at school. Before they were even of drinking age, he and his brother John saw many of their heroes perform at blues festivals and shows at nearby colleges. Bob did his junior thesis on Muddy Waters and saw the legend perform at his high school.\n\u201cHe was the foundation of all my interest (in the blues),\u201d Corritore remembers.\nLiving in the Chicago area, long a blues hotbed, afforded the young Corritore the opportunity to see blues players such as Otis Rush, Hound Dog Taylor, Luther Allison and Bukka White.\n\u201cI didn\u2019t realize how privileged I was to be able to see those old guys at that point, because a few years later, many of them had passed,\u201d Corritore says.\nAfter he graduated from high school \u2014 with Luther Allison performing at the graduation dance \u2014 Corritore headed to Oklahoma to attend the University of Tulsa.\nHe was performing form the very beginning of his collegiate career. \u201cI played in bands from my freshman year on and I couldn\u2019t believe they were actually paying me to have all that fun,\u201d he says.\nCorritore also gained his first experience working at a club, bartending at Cain\u2019s Ballroom, which had been the home of the legendary Bob Wills. On breaks from school, he\u2019d return to Chicago and \u201cabsorb all the blues I could.\u201d At one point, he was asked to audition for Pops and Koko Taylor\u2019s group.\n\u201cThe band would let me play a few numbers with them before Koko got up and I got to know them fairly well. At one point, Pops Taylor took me aside and said, \u2018We\u2019re thinking about adding an extra piece to our band and we want you to come to a rehearsal and give it a try,\u2019 \u201d Corritore remembers.\n\u201cI went home and asked my parents to borrow the car to do it and they threw a little reality my way \u2014 \u2018No, Bob, you cannot borrow the car to go to the South Side of Chicago. And what would you do if you joined the band? You\u2019d have to quit to go back to school.\u2019 Not that I would have been good enough to get into the band, but I had a possibility of that. Who knows what would have become of it.\u201d\nIn 1978 he graduated with a business degree and moved back to Chicago to begin working at Sound/Video Unlimited, a music sub-distributor that supplied record stores. \u201cI got to see a lot of aspects of the music business and how it worked,\u201d Corritore says.\nHe also continued to perform with several bands and patronize all the blues spots.\n\u201cI got to know a lot of guys that became personal friends and I was as close to blues as anybody could be. My phone book had sprinklings of the most legendary names in the blues and they were people that I knew personally,\u201d Corritore says. \u201cI would go to their houses and sometimes even take lessons from them.\u201d\nHe started his own record label, Blues Over Blues Records, and as \u201ca one-man operation\u201d produced, mixed, pressed, designed the covers and found distribution for albums by Little Willie Anderson and Big Leon Brooks. Both albums were released on CD by Earwig Records in 1994.\n\u201cI really wanted to capture some of the great sounds of some of the more obscure harmonica players that I looked up to,\u201d Corritore says.\nIn 1981, Corritore had the kind of epiphany a lot of Midwesterners have when they first experience the Valley of the Sun.\n\u201cMy brother lived out here and I came out to visit and I loved the warm weather. I decided to come out here for a year,\u201d Corritore says. \u201cWhen I came here I fell in love with the place. It presented an invigorating challenge.\u201d\nHe met the challenge of introducing a new city to the music he loved. After he had lived in Phoenix for a month, Corritore got a call from Louisiana Red, a friend from Chicago.\n\u201cI said, \u2018Red, what are you doing? Why don\u2019t you come out here?\u2019 The next thing I know, Louisiana Red has moved to town and we\u2019re playing together and having a blast. He was here for a year and it was wonderful,\u201d Corritore says.\n\u201cPhoenix wasn\u2019t really ready for a raw blues guy at that time. He was playing his low down blues and the people that loved it, loved it, but a lot of clubs wouldn\u2019t even hire us and here was a guy that had been in movies, that had hits and a dozen albums to his name.\u201d\nIt wouldn\u2019t be the only time Corritore invited a Chicago friend to move to Phoenix. In 1986, after stints with rockabilly band Grant and the Geezers and Big Pete Pearson\u2019s band, he telephoned another.\n\u201cI called my friend Chico Chism from Chicago, whom I\u2019d met in 1974 when I went to see the Howlin\u2019 Wolf play. I asked Chico if he\u2019d want to come to Phoenix and form a band,\u201d Corritore says.\n\u201cHe\u2019d seen me with Howlin\u2019 Wolf and all the big bands in Chicago, so when he called me up I said, \u2018Hey, I\u2019ll give you six months,\u2019 \u201d Chism remembers.\nThey formed Chico Chism and the Chiztones. \u201cThat band was probably the most Chicago blues band that Phoenix has ever seen,\u201d Corritore says. The group went their separate ways after about a year, but Chism has been a fixture in Phoenix ever since.\nMeanwhile, Corritore had found another avenue to pursue his love of the blues. In February 1983, he started hosting Those Lowdown Blues on KMCR (91.5 FM), later KJZZ. More than 15 years later the show is one of the longest-running programs in town, airing Sunday nights from 6 to 11.\n\u201cI had a great collection of blues records and I wanted to share that. I also had a little personal thing, because I was so frustrated with the way Louisiana Red was accepted in this town that I really wanted to present blues in its earthiest form and all the other great styles that encompass the blues,\u201d Corritore says. \u201cBut I really wanted to capture the low-down blues, and hence the name of the show.\u201d\nFor the first year, he worked as a volunteer. \u201cAfter that, they took me in the office and told me that they wanted to put me on the payroll and expand the hours of my show,\u201d Corritore says. \u201cSo they moved it from Sunday morning as a pre-taped show to Sunday night (live).\u201d\nHe has never had a contract with KJZZ \u2014 \u201cThey can have me as long as I have strength to do it,\u201d Corritore says \u2014 but there\u2019s no question how much the station appreciates him.\n\u201cHe\u2019s one of the most dedicated radio hosts I\u2019ve ever run across,\u201d says Scott Williams, the station\u2019s program director for the past eight years. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t be surprised if he\u2019s here 15 years from now, and I hope he is. There\u2019s nobody around who knows the blues, particularly the Chicago blues, like he does. He has not only a knowledge, but a love for the music that comes across.\u201d\nAlthough he uses compact discs as well, Corritore is \u201cthe last person using a turntable at the station. We actually roll one in there for him on Sunday nights,\u201d Williams says.\nWhile he presents new and old recordings on the program, Corritore\u2019s philosophy for the show has remained constant from the outset.\n\u201cI would hope that I present things that are stimulating to the audience and things that will open their minds and change their points of reference as to what blues is. I present the blues from a purist standpoint and in doing so I hope that people can see the blues in its purest form,\u201d he says.\nThe program is appreciated by blues players and listeners alike.\n\u201cI love the radio show because it\u2019s dedicated to the blues form and it\u2019s not just 30 minutes \u2014 he\u2019s got five hours!\u201d Chism says. \u201cBob is the No. 1 blues DJ in the country and I\u2019ll tell anybody that on a stack of Bibles.\u201d\n\u201cHe has really single-handedly enriched Phoenix to the point that I think he has helped create a niche in the Phoenix market for blues music,\u201d listener Melissa Testa says.\nIn this decade, Corritore\u2019s dedication to the music he loves has found a home in the Rhythm Room. The space at 1019 E. Indian School Road in Phoenix, once known as the Purple Turtle, had endured several failed ventures by the turn of the \u201990s.\n\u201cIn 1991, out of the blue I got a call from the guy that owned the property and he was having a hard time finding a tenant and he wanted to develop a business on it. It was four walls at the time, but we got together and came up with a strategy and just did it,\u201d Corritore says of the creation of the club that has become the prime spot to see blues in the Valley.\n\u201cI didn\u2019t really have any lessons in how to do it, but I\u2019d played in enough bars before that I felt that I had a sense of what needed to happen for a bar to be successful and I added my own imagination to it,\u201d he says.\nHe had gained promotion experience by handling the job for most of the bands he\u2019d been in, and he had booked shows at other clubs around town.\nHe\u2019s not the only one that\u2019s worked \u2014 and continues to work \u2014 for the club\u2019s success.\n\u201cI\u2019ve been blessed with my partner, Ken Cahill, and his assistant manager Liberdy Laliberte. They handle the bar side of the business and allow me to just do the music and promotion,\u201d Corritore says.\n\u201cWhat we are at the Rhythm Room is a lot of who and what Bob is,\u201d Cahill says. \u201cHe\u2019s a traditional blues appreciator and lover and he really likes to bring something special to the community \u2014 that in many cases, otherwise would not be brought here.\n\u201cIt\u2019s not always the financially sound thing to do, but it\u2019s the artistically right thing to do.\u201d\nCorritore does much more than promotion. He often books obscure artists, arranges a group of local players to back them and rehearses the band with the artist\u2019s material.\n\u201cThat\u2019s the fun of it, really,\u201d Corritore says. \u201cI enjoy presenting music that I love and I enjoy building bands in the market \u2014 bands that I believe in, that\u2019s very satisfying. It\u2019s also very satisfying to have a place that stands for all those things. It\u2019s really all about music, and if it weren\u2019t it wouldn\u2019t be worth it.\u201d\n\u201cBob knows the music really well and follows it and he knows what\u2019s out there. He\u2019ll bring in things for people to hear that they haven\u2019t heard before,\u201d says longtime Valley blues guitarist John Rapp.\n\u201cHe has the ability to see the real value in things. The music business is an incredibly cynical, hard kind of place to be. From a management aspect and a player\u2019s aspect it\u2019s a pretty lousy place to live, and Bob\u2019s made it a better place for a lot of people.\u201d\n\u201cBecause Bob is a blues fanatic himself, he always bring in all the best people \u2014 not always considering whether or not he\u2019s going to make money on it,\u201d says patron Todd Johnson. \u201cThat\u2019s why there\u2019s no doubt in my mind that the Rhythm Room is one of the top blues clubs anywhere in the world.\u201d\nCorritore also produces recording sessions with artists he brings to town. He hopes to release a collection of more than 12 years of recording sessions, many of which were done with engineer Clarke Rigsby.\n\u201cHis passion is blues and he knows way too much about it,\u201d Rigsby chuckles. \u201cHe always comes up with these great artists because he knows who\u2019s who and what\u2019s what and we\u2019ve done some great sessions.\n\u201cA lot of these guys are passing, weekly, now. Jimmy Rogers comes to mind \u2014 that was a great thing to able to do (Rogers, Muddy Waters\u2019 right-hand man and one of the architects of the Chicago blues, died at the end of last year). Bob\u2019s a master at putting those kinds of things together.\u201d\nCorritore has also gone through all the necessary paperwork to create an arts foundation that he hopes to use \u201cto raise funds to bring in acts that financially would be impossible to bring in otherwise \u2014 focusing on the blues and jazz idioms. I also hope to bring these artists into the schools for seminars and residencies.\u201d\nAs a musician, Corritore has not been an official member of any group since a two-year stint with Buddy Reed and the Rip It Ups before the Rhythm Room opened. But that doesn\u2019t mean he\u2019s not keeping his harmonica chops up.\n\u201cRarely does a week or two go by that I\u2019m not up onstage performing with all these wonderful artists that I know that are traveling through,\u201d Corritore says. \u201cI consider myself an accompanist. The harmonica is an accompanying instrument, and me greatest joy in playing is to accompany artists that I really enjoy and make my playing a sympathetic part of the song.\n\u201cI\u2019m more into the song than a solo. It\u2019s an indescribable feeling when you can connect with that part of you that\u2019s right at the soul of your music. It\u2019s a great thing and I hope to be able to continue to experience it,\u201d he says.\n\u201cHe\u2019s a true believer in deep blues and the idea that the blues has an emotional and aesthetic content which transcends the form,\u201d says Rapp, who has played and recorded with Corritore. \u201cIt\u2019s music that comes from the heart. When I hear Bob play, I hear somebody playing from the heart. The whole point is to play yourself and he really tries to do that.\u201d\nFrom his youth, a love for the blues has guided Bob Corritore throughout his life. As a performer, DJ, promoter, producer and all the other hats he\u2019s worn, Corritore has immersed himself in the music.\n\u201cI can\u2019t say enough about him and he\u2019s really good for the music, not just here in Arizona, but all around the country,\u201d Chico Chism says.\nCorritore is modest about his accomplishments and confident in the future of the music he loves.\n\u201cI\u2019m just trying to hold onto whatever is still there of that old, wonderful, classic sound that inspired me,\u201d he says. \u201cThere are some great new artists that are presenting it and that will take the reins, but let\u2019s face it, you\u2019ll never replace a Muddy Waters or a Lightnin\u2019 Hopkins or an Albert King and when John Lee Hooker and B.B. King pass, that will really be a sad time for the blues because it will be the end of an era.\n\u201cBut the blues will survive, it\u2019s just too strong not to, and the message that\u2019s brought about by the blues will always be meaningful. There\u2019s no question. Once the blues gets in your veins, that\u2019s it. You\u2019re going to want it the rest of your life.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Huang Jihuang launched a new product for the take-away market - \"three-point full\", with three minutes of dining, featuring live cooking;\nMeet the facet launch - c24 full-time catering mode, establish a new integration of product line, retail, online and offline;\nHaidilao launched its own branded beverage, a new product of lactic acid bacteria beverage, which is mainly used to make it a hot pot.\nBrands are busy expanding their industry chain, from products to retail, from offline to online, which can be considered as all aspects.\n1. Outstanding features, focusing on packaging operations\nThe reason why the brand is impressed by the customer, can hear or see what it is, such a brand must be different.\nFaced with the sudden emergence of new retail styles, the distinctive characteristics of the food packaging are also a kind of \u201cstaying\u201d skills. For take-away products, the unique packaging can make a deep impression on customers.\nConsidering the consumer group of takeaways - the white-collar workers who go to work are usually takeaways for one person. It is necessary to capture the hearts of consumers from the packaging.\nFine packaging, meticulous experience, warm-hearted service tips, immediately add 5 points for the taste of the dishes.\nMany food and beverage outlets are determined to break through the image from takeaway packaging and build their own brand packaging to highlight style and character.\nIt is worth noting that this is a good strategy for the same category of food and beverage, but in the face of differentiated competition, when all the take-away categories are seeking breakthroughs in take-away packaging, it is bound to give consumers a dazzling sense of freshness.\n2, focus on service, increase user experience\nTraditional catering does not have a formed take-out service system. It uses the direct delivery of the clerk, the delivery time and the taste of the food are not easy to control, and the service experience of the delivery is less considered.\nHowever, the era of take-away \"Tmall\" is coming. With the continuous reduction of diners, the second chain of catering - take-out, not only in the image, but also in the service, pay special attention to the experience of delivery, and enhance the user's goodwill.\nThe image of the take-away packaging highlights the individuality and style, leaving an impression on the customer. Once the same kind of imitation, how should the catering company defend?\nThe breakthrough point is in service, and the user experience is irreproducible. On the one hand, the taste of the dishes, on the other hand, the more direct personal experience that the customer touches, which brand is impossible to copy and imitate.\nFrom this point of view, the listing of Haidilao is a gratifying news, but also many business owners envy: the same is to do food, why can he go public? Catering people know that Haidilao wins with service. It adopts the amoeba management mode, which is accurate to everyone and serves every customer. The user experience is not only the taste of hot pot, but also the nuanced service. .\n3. Derivative brand, diversification of capital risk\nIf a store relies on a single mainline product, it will soon be squeezed out by other brands. Looking at the old-fashioned food and beverage brands, you will find that the long-lasting secret is not only the signature dishes, but also the clever combination between the main and the side dishes. After all, we don't just order a signature dish when we experience it.\nHuang Genghuang founder Huang Geng can do his best for the new product \"three-point full\", three years of research, taste, packaging, technology and try again, so that today's live cooking, standard 3-minute meal.\nThe same is true for meeting facets, founder Song Qi said that the business model of c24 has been in the exploration stage. Meet the face-to-face 24-hour product line, focusing on the product features of each period of operation, in order to change the customer's old impression, retain customers, and form a new impression as the goal.\nJapanese catering is recognized as the best, only because of the adherence to a standard \"only one brand of catering companies is dangerous.\" Although a single brand has the advantage of simplification and concentration, once a consumer rejects this unique brand, the company will be fatally hurt. The strategy of Japanese catering is to launch 1-2 new stores each year to form a diversified risk asset structure.\nMulti-brand strategy has become a new battlefield. On the one hand, businesses can continue to innovate. On the other hand, multi-brands seem to be more in line with the stomachs of young consumers.\n4. Three elements of catering management: quality + service + experience\nWhat is the secret of catering business? Every diners have their own answers.\nPractice knowing the truth, blindly speaking and blindly doing can not be explored.\nObserving the restaurants with good business, we can easily find that the combination of quality, service and experience is the foundation of a restaurant that is unbeaten, but it never stops at three elements.\nMass consumer products are the first. Once the products are identified, once the local tastes are met, the customer repurchase rate is not a problem. Kang Changxi, the founder of \"Fang Datong Hu spicy soup\" who intends to change its name to \"Xiaoxige\", once said to reporters that \"the same shop is easy to die. To make food and beverages return to the essence, put clean in the first place, and then improve the service.\" .\"\nCatering operations need to find out a set of their own style of play. Mature business methods can be used for reference. How to explore their own style of play can stand in an undefeated realm. Only those who are truly suitable for themselves and create their own characteristics can retain customers and form brand influence.\nPrevious\uff1aHow can a parent-child restaurant open to make money?\nNext\uff1aElectric Table Chinese Manufacturer Hotel Electric Table Introduction",

As each season has peppered fans with the official return of actors from the original George Lucas trilogy and prequels, as well as 2016\u2019s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, at least one more major character will return in the series\u2019 final seven episodes beginning next month.\nEmperor Palpatine himself, Ian McDiarmid, joins original film cast members James Earl Jones, Billy Dee Williams, Forest Whitaker, Anthony Daniels, Frank Oz, Warwick Davis, and Genevieve O\u2019 Reilly, and an ultimate mash-up of actors from literally every major genre franchise, including Sarah Michelle Gellar, Gina Torres, Tom Baker, Brent Spiner, Jason Isaacs, Katee Sackhoff, Clancy Brown, Peter MacNicol, Sam Witwer, and Freddie Prinze, Jr. McDiarmid reprises his role as the franchise\u2019s top bad guy seen in the re-edit of The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, and Revenge of the Sith. Although other original characters were voiced by new actors for characters like Princess Leia, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Bail Organa, Darth Maul, Wedge Antilles, and General Dodonna, this is a rare treat in any franchise to see the return of an actor to an iconic role so many years later (that is, except the Doctor Who franchise, which has seen 7 of the original 13 actors who played Doctors return along with nearly every companion in the series\u2019 50 year history as part of Big Finish Productions\u2019 17 years of audioplays).\nSam Witwer provided the voice of Palpatine earlier in the series, but Lucasfilm pulled in McDiarmid for one last curtain call. What will be the ultimate fate of Lothal, another loss like Scarif and Alderaan? Will Ahsoka return? Why didn\u2019t we see Grand Admiral Thrawn in Rogue One? Does Captain Rex live to fight at Endor in Return of the Jedi? Fans of the series are waiting to see what happens to the key characters, the crew of The Ghost. We know from Rogue One that Hera and Chopper survive. Will Kanan, Ezra, Zeb, or Sabine make it out of Star Wars Rebels, too?\nThe end, and the answers to these questions are almost here. Check out this new trailer for the final episodes of Star Wars Rebels:\nTags: Anthony Daniels, Billy Dee Williams, Brent Spiner, Clancy Brown, Disney XD, Doctor Who, Forest Whitaker, Frank Oz, Freddie Prinze Jr., Genevieve O' Reilly, Gina Torres, Ian McDiarmid, James Earl Jones, Jason Isaacs, Katee Sackhoff, Peter MacNicol, Sam Witwer, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Star Wars Rebels final season, Star Wars Rebels finale, Star Wars Rebels season 4 trailer, Star Wars: Rebels, Tom Baker, Warwick Davis\nFirst Impressions\u2013New game show is a fun addition to Tuesday line-up\nWe recently previewed USA\u2019s First Impressions, starring Freddie Prinze, Jr. and Dana Carvey. The show premiered this week, and it looks like a winner. The series pits aspiring comics in an \u201cimpression off\u201d to wow an audience of judges and a celebrity guest for a prize of $10,000. It\u2019s not a competition show, like Last Comic Standing; it\u2019s a game show with new contestants every week. In fact, it feels a bit like a mashup of Lip Sync Battle and Whose Line is it, Anyway?, with a bit of Hollywood Game Night thrown in.\nThree contestants offer up their best celebrity impressions in a variety of bits and sketches, while Carvey and a visiting comedian (Steve Carell in the pilot) cheer them on, offer commentary, and occasionally join in the fun. Prinze keeps the fun moving as host and emcee.\nWe\u2019ve been a bit weary of the competition show format, so it\u2019s always nice to see a fresh, upbeat take, without all the season-long drama, eliminations, and infighting. First Impressions moves swiftly, giving each contestant plenty of time to showcase their talents. Contestants on the pilot spoofed both perennial favorites like Al Pacino and Christopher Walken, as well as surprising choices like the hilarious Jennifer Coolidge (Legally Blonde, A Mighty Wind) and Drew Barrymore. Everyone loves standup comedy, and the impersonators were fun to watch. But the real draw for the show is Carvey and friends. Carvey\u2019s energy and enthusiasm are infectious, and the overall tone of the show is welcoming and collaborative, not combative. At one point, when two contestants had each done impressions of Sharon Osborne, Carvey leaped from his chair and said, \u201cI want to see the Sharons together,\u201d initiating a joint bit where the comics played off each other. It was a great moment that took this show to another level\u2013not just game show, but comedy workshop.\nTags: comedy shows, Dana Carvey, Elizabeth C. Bunce, First Impressions, Freddie Prinze Jr., Hollywood Game Night, Lip Sync Battle, Saturday Night Live, Steve Carell, USA Network, Whose Line is it Anyway?\nDana Carvey returns to TV after 20 years with comedy competition show\nOf all the stars of Saturday Night Live to spend Saturday nights in our living rooms, few were as beloved as Dana Carvey. Carvey\u2019s Church Lady and Garth from Wayne\u2019s World became icons of TV comedy. He had mega-hit films with the two Wayne\u2019s World movies, but you should also check out the comedy classic Opportunity Knocks co-starring Robert Loggia if you missed it. But the last time we saw Carvey as a TV weekly regular was on the short-lived The Dana Carvey Show back in 1996.\nCarvey will be the star of a new competition show beginning next month on USA Network. More accurately he is the \u201cexpert comedy mentor in residence\u201d to amateur impersonators competing with their celebrity impresions in front of Carvey and other comedy guests. The show will be hosted by actor Freddie Prinze, Jr. son of the late comedian Freddie Prinze. Comedy guests include Steve Carell, Jay Leno, Kevin Nealon, Yvette Nicole Brown, Tom Arnold, and Jon Lovitz. Eighteen contestants are slated for the initial run of the show.\nCheck out these previews from USA Network for First Impressions:\nTags: comedy shows, Dana Carvey, First Impressions, First Impressions preview, Freddie Prinze, Freddie Prinze Jr., Jay Leno, Jon Lovitz, Kevin Nealon, Opportunity Knocks, Saturday Night Live, Steve Carell, Tom Arnold, USA Network, Wayne's World, Yvette Nicole Brown\nBinge watch\u2013Original trilogy cast elevates season one of Star Wars Rebels\nWe initially had some trepidation when it came to the new Disney animated TV series, Star Wars Rebels, set five years before the original Star Wars movie (A New Hope) and 14 years after Episode III. We reviewed the first movie length pilot episode here, now available on DVD at Amazon.com here. Focus on the younger character Ezra and the more cartoony silliness initially pointed to kids as the target audience for the show. But as the series gained its stride, it became not only a good tie-in for diehard Star Wars fans, but something real, honest to goodness, Star Wars canon fans can be excited about, with its inclusion of original trilogy cast members as voice actors. And its primary and supporting cast work will have you wanting to watch it again and eagerly anticipate Season Two when it returns to Disney XD at your next binge session.\nThe high point surprised us: The return of Billy Dee Williams as Lando Calrissian in an adventure before The Empire Strikes Back. If you hate the fact that his primary role in the original trilogy was as a betrayer of Han Solo, you can finally see why Han previously was friends with him. Sure, he was an opportunist even back then, but he was also skillful and suave, and, believe it or not, much cooler than he was portrayed in the movies. That\u2019s something worth seeing.\nBut it didn\u2019t stop with Billy Dee Williams. The first episode, \u201cDroids in Distress,\u201d featured the return of Anthony Daniels as the voice of C-3P0. In the ninth episode the great and powerful Frank Oz returned to voice the part of Yoda, in \u201cPath of the Jedi.\u201d And how about James Earl Jones as Darth Vader again? You can\u2019t really get more canon than that. Well, at least until we see Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford, Peter Mayhew, Anthony Daniels, and Kenny Baker (and not only just hear them) return in Episode VII later his year.\nTags: Anthony Daniels, Billy Dee Williams, Brent Spiner, Disney, Disney XD, Frank Oz, Freddie Prinze Jr., James Earl Jones, James Hong, Jason Isaacs, Peter MacNicol, Star Wars Rebels review, Star Wars Rebels Season One, Star Wars The Force Awakens, Star Wars: Rebels\nStar Wars Rebels premiere raises questions, lays foundation for the new universe\nStar Wars Rebels: Spark of Rebellion, the premiere one-hour movie for the coming animated series, aired last night on DisneyXD. If the first hour is any indication, Star Wars Rebels will likely appeal to the entire demographic of anyone under 13 years old. To that end, the premiere hour could be considered a success. But as the first visual incarnation of Star Wars in the hands of Disney, is it enough for the generations of loyal Star Wars adult fans?\nStar Wars Rebels is targeted at kids primarily through its focus on Ezra, a teenage thief solely defined by his own survival. The unfortunately franchise-defining, stilted Star Wars dialogue and loud voice readings could only appeal to the younger set of \u201cwhiz-bang\u201d aficionados. It\u2019s \u201cvery Disney\u201d with its constantly fart-sound emitting R5-D4-inspired droid named Chop\u2013Disney just can\u2019t get away from a goofy little fringe character in any of its films. The good part is that Ezra is a ringer for Disney\u2019s Aladdin, and if you liked Aladdin there may be hope for this character for you.\nWe previewed the first novel in the New Universe under Disney here at borg.com a few weeks ago, Star Wars: A New Dawn. It featured an interesting, well-written story and was a good introduction of two key characters in the new animated series, a Jedi named Kanan Jarrus (voiced in the series by Freddie Prinze, Jr.) and his partner Hera Syndulla (voiced by Vanessa Marshall), a green Twi\u2019lek woman. The difference is the novel had none of the goofy-for-kids elements.\nStar Wars Rebels defines the challenges that stories of the New Universe will face. What are the essential elements that make something Star Wars? More importantly, what are the minimal elements required so this is not just another science fiction story with a Star Wars label? The first hour of the animated universe bombards us with references back to people, places, ships, uniforms, and artifacts of the first two trilogies. Can\u2019t something new be done and yet remain completely of the Star Wars world? Some of the camaraderie on the rebel vessel approached that of Firefly, particularly with the gruff Jayne-like character, Zeb (voiced by Steve Blum), the couple Kana and Hera a bit like Zoe and Wash, and young bomb expert Sabine (voiced by Tiya Sircar) is a bit of a combination of the engineering skill of Kaylee and the borderline sociopath River. Have all the good sci-fi ideas been used up?\nTags: Aladdin, Disney, Disney XD, Firefly, Freddie Prinze Jr., Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, John Williams, Spark of Rebellion review, Star Trek reboot, Star Wars Rebels review, Star Wars Rebels: Spark of Rebellion, Star Wars: Rebels, Steve Blum, Tiya Sircar, Vanessa Marshall",

        "raw_content": "Maps + Patterns\nDC MOORE GALLERY | MARCH 26\u2009\u2013\u2009APRIL 25, 2015\nFRENCH INSTITUTE ALLIANCE FRANCAISE GALLERY\nFEBRUARY 25\u2009\u2013\u2009APRIL 25, 2015\nMapping Brooklyn\nBRIC HOUSE | FEBRUARY 26\u2009\u2013\u2009MAY 3, 2015\nBROOKLYN HISTORICAL SOCIETY | FEBRUARY 16\u2009\u2013\u2009SEPTEMBER 6, 2015\nTo capture the encyclopedic scope, breadth, and dimensionality of Joyce Kozloff\u2019s exhibitions, a magic carpet is a prerequisite. Firstly, it might help avoid MTA snafus while dashing from Mapping Brooklyn to see her two Manhattan exhibitions. Second, because in Kozloff\u2019s cartographic universe, the viewer is flying at a bird\u2019s eye view over terrains spanning the globe, not to mention histories from antiquity to current world events. She has been exploring cartography for over two decades in a sustained manner, always interjecting fresh viewpoints that are sometimes dark, and sometimes funny.\nJoyce Kozloff, \u0093Palestine\u0094 (2013). Collage, digital archival inkjet print, 36 \u00d7 47\u02dd. Courtesy of the artist.\nCartography has traditionally been a man\u2019s game, but Kozloff improves upon that tradition. Little escapes Kozloff\u2019s aerial view; she is a world traveler in the best sense. We are transfixed in Kozloff\u2019s map room with lead soldiers, miniature tanks, camels, octopi, and some wonderful politically incorrect references.\nRob Storr curated Mapping at MoMA in 1994, an exhibition of 29 artists including: Alighiero e Boetti, Jan Dibbets, Oyvind Fahlstrom, Jasper Johns, Kim Jones, Annette Lemieux, Richard Long, Miguel Angel R\u00edos, and others. Kozloff\u2019s mapping activities predate this exhibition. Many exhibitions since have examined this terrain, such as Mind the Map (2014), curated by Selene Wendt at Punkt for the Global Art Project in Moss, Norway, where Kozloff\u2019s \u201cTargets\u201d was featured. Some other memorable map exhibitions include: Map as Art, Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, Kansas City, Missouri (2012); HereThereEverywhere, Chicago Cultural Center, Chicago, Illinois (2007); and The World According to the Newest and Most Exact Observations: Mapping Art and Science, at the Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery, Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs, New York (2001).\nArtists have many reasons for using maps: psychological, political, and even illustrative. If Kozloff is close to another artist cartographer in spirit, one might be Kim Jones, with his battle maps obsessively altered over time. She might also be compared to recent Arab artists dealing with the dark side of the colonial and post-Ottoman regional conflicts fostered by the likes of the Sykes-Picot Agreement (1916). Moataz Nasr\u2019s \u201cMissing Parts (Ice Cream Map)\u201d (2008) and Marwan Rechmaoui\u2019s \u201cUntitled 22 (The Arab World)\u201d (2005), a map of 22 black rubber Arab states, are darkly humorous examples. Bouchra Khalili\u2019s \u201cThe Mapping Journey Project\u201d (2008\u2009\u2013\u200911) used video to chart diaspora and displacement. Khalili, like Kozloff, has also employed constellation maps.\nOur magic carpet ride might begin at BRIC House in Brooklyn to see Kozloff\u2019s \u201cTargets\u201d (created in 2000 during her Prix de Rome Fellowship). The nine-foot high walk-in globe\u2019s interior features 24 maps sectioned like orange slices, based on NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) generated maps, which aid US pilots in navigating globally. Kozloff chose the aerial charts of countries that had been bombed by the US beginning with China in 1945 through a long list of 24 others, including Vietnam, Cuba, Libya, and Afghanistan. With the \u201cbomb Iran\u201d crowd chomping at the bit, her work is timelier than ever. There is a wonderful no holds barred spunk to this work. Kozloff\u2019s life-changing visit to Iran in 2001 reinforced her views, and her touching homages to the lands beneath the bombs comes through in her works with every brushstroke. Outdated arguments about cultural appropriation, which may act to prop up cultural imperialism, Orientalism, etc., miss the mark. Her comment says it all, \u201cSome of the most exhilarating moments of my life were spent in mosques and cathedrals.\u201d\nTwo works included in Mapping Brooklyn that also deal with the dark side of American imperialism have been borrowed from the \u201cSocial Studies\u201d series\u2009\u2014\u2009\u201cLes Etats-Unis d\u2019Amerique\u201d at the Brooklyn Historical Society and \u201cL\u2019Amerique du Nord\u201d at BRIC House. \u201cL\u2019Amerique du Nord,\u201d is a delight with a superimposed map of drug cartel routes in the USA, and some images of Chiapas that challenge the myth of NAFTA.\nThe series Social Studies at the French Institute Alliance Fran\u00e7aise Gallery even takes a few pot shots at the French. \u201cLa France\u201d (2012) is overlaid with tiny cones marking nuclear facilities, alongside bucolic agricultural symbols for cows and wheat. Another gem is \u201cAlgerie/Tunisie\u201d (2012). Algerie alors was a phrase seldom heard during Charlie Hebdo\u2014as though French atrocities against the Arabs during the Battle of Algiers never happened. \u201cAlgerie\u201d features bomb charts circa the French Algerian War (1954\u2009\u2013\u200964), and images of some badass French troops. \u201cTunisie,\u201d the site of the first Arab Spring, was recently the site of the worst terrorist attack in Tunisian history. An image of a Roman boat, a floor mosaic from the Bardo Museum (where the 21 tourists were killed) is digitally layered along with an image of a demonstration during Tunisia\u2019s Arab Spring on the map.\nKozloff has used a cache of charming 1950s French scholastic maps that she found at the Clignancourt flea market in 2011 for the works, updating them using digital technology acquired during a residency at Carnegie Mellon University in 2012. The maps reflect a \u201950s classroom worldview which omitted topics like French colonialism. Kozloff began to overlay taboo topics with a vengeance using Google, a process of free association, and paint. National mythologies take a hit in her work. The image of Tin tin in Gaza on her \u201cPalestine\u201d map stands out, alongside the map showing a diminishing Palestine that caused a stir when posted on Connecticut train platforms. My favorite, however, was \u201cL\u2019U.R.S.S.\u201d (2012), otherwise known as Russia. In a corner is a map of NATO installations of warheads used to control the Russian bear. We are left to wonder who exactly is the imperialist threat? Seventeen maps complete this series at FIAF and cover the globe.\nThe best place to touch down for a finale is at DC Moore Gallery. \u201cThe Tempest\u201d (2015) is huge, as though Kozloff has tipped some imperial map room\u2019s table on end. Maps have traditionally been made by male cartographers and their portraits are collaged everywhere\u2014globes made from earrings, erasers, peppershakers, and eBay finds cover the work\u2019s surface. This goofy collection of tchotchkes, globes, portraits, and even Captain Planet, are layered over a Chinese map from the 18th century. We see a tiny Great Wall at the top and a stylized China Sea we hope to navigate under Kozloff\u2019s command.\nKozloff\u2019s magnum opus is a long scroll covering a long gallery wall. Here she has snipped and pasted the contents of decades of work into Islamic star patterns. The lovingly painted patterns make Kozloff the worker into a marvel; it is hard to believe one pair of hands could pull this off. \u201cIf I Were a Botanist: the Pale\u201d (2014) and \u201cIf I Were a Botanist: Gaza\u201d (2015) show this remarkable artist\u2019s ability to see conflicts from all sides. Kozloff\u2019s ancestors come from the Pale of Settlement\u2014a restricted area for Russian Jews before 1917. As such, she is able to empathize with Gazans restricted by checkpoints from leaving. In a world torn asunder by misguided imperial mapping, we could use Kozloff\u2019s ability to take on the subject from all sides, including the dark side. I wish this remarkable artist were in charge of the map rooms of our world.\nJOYCE KOZLOFF: Girlhood\nIn Girlhood, Joyce Kozloff has extended her 20-plus year practice of map paintings in a new and very personal direction. During the poignant chore of going through her parents\u2019 effects after their deaths, Kozloff discovered a collection of her grade-school art assignments.",

Large, bulky items like television sets and furniture are not generally accepted by companies like FedEx or UPS. Consider not only the cost to move, but other factors like time and proper equipment. Though professional movers may seem pricey at first, when you look at the time and money to get similar results, you may re-consider. Be sure to get moving estimates in writing and compare several companies. Ask for discounts and be sure to only use licensed, bonded movers. Also make a checklist so that you\u2019re organized and efficient. Or ask us! We often have knowledge of many local companies that can make your move easier.",

        "title": "The He-Man Comics> Introduction To The Newspaper | BW Media Spotlight",
        "raw_content": "The He-Man Comics> Introduction To The Newspaper\nOccasionally I come up with an article series to get me to read something. Like Chapter By Chapter, or Scanning My Collection. And here\u2019s the newest member of that list:\nThe official title of this series (for brevity) is The He-Man Comics. Adding \u201cNewspaper\u201d to the banner just further explains what I\u2019m reviewing. I\u2019ve already tackled all the Masters Of The Universe comics in my collection and I already have an article series for mini-comics, which includes our Eternian and Etherian friends. This however is something very different. Dark Horse has been putting together collections of Masters Of The Universe and Princess Of Power materials, including the aforementioned minicomics. Recently they added a new collection, of the newspaper strips.\n\u201cThere were newspaper strips?\u201d some of you may be asking and yes there were. I didn\u2019t know about them either until Dark Horse announced the collection but I otherwise hadn\u2019t been paying attention due to\u2026other concerns. Then recently my friend Sean surprised me with an early birthday present (very early because my birthday is in July, so the rest of you still have time \ud83d\ude00 ) that he happened to see on sale.\nThis sucker is huge. It\u2019s a hardcover omnibus that I could probably kill a man with if I more Skeletor than He-Man. (Let\u2019s be honest: I\u2019m more Prince Adam. Okay, Orko, but without the magic.) It\u2019s so big that it would take a long time to read and review, so I\u2019ve chosen this route, a 15+ article series to look over each story arc in the same vein of Chapter By Chapter. But before we begin the trip down this particular rabbit hole I thought a little explanation was in order. This is going to be short, so if you want the full details by all means get this book. It\u2019s amazing just from flipping through it. I can\u2019t wait to see what I get out of the actual review.\nI tried researching this online but either I suck at search engines or all I could find on this was a few brief postings on He-Man.org that led to this book and reviews of the book. From what I can gather not many papers carried it; there were about 80 at its peak and 10 when the series finally ended during a four-and-a-half year run. It fared better in other countries where the Filmation TV series was just getting into the second season, but here the show was just ending, the fandom dying down, as kids fandoms usually do, but not quite gone.\nMattel still wanted to have an outlet to promote their toys beyond advertisements and their own packed-in minicomics. So Filmation and Mattel worked together to produce a comic strip, originally distributed by King Syndicate, but I don\u2019t know who took it up after that before Mattel became the distributor themselves. And Filmation\u2019s people worked on it. The first writer was Jim Shull before Chris Weber (with his wife, Karen Willson, serving as editor) took over duties. Gerald Forton was the artist on the series, with Connie Schurr as the colorist for the Sunday strips. (Although there are a few Sunday strips not in color in this collection as well as strips missing near the end. I\u2019ll come back to that.) The series continues the universe from the cartoon, leading up to an alternate take on the He-Man line than the one The New Adventures Of He-Man cartoon took. However, She-Ra and her friends were part of a different license\u2026somehow. Another example of Mattel not getting how Princess Of Power should have been better tied to Masters Of The Universe, even if it was the \u201cgirls line\u201d of toys.\nA sample of the original scans of the He-Man newspaper strip from He-Man.org\nThe comic\u2019s small showing meant most people didn\u2019t even know the comic existed. It was the work of Danielle Gelehrter that led to this production. She had found some of the strips and posted them to the He-Man.org site, the fan site created by MV Creations co-founder Val Staples, who worked to get the license for the remake series, as you may recall from my other comic reviews. Staples also served as project coordinator on this project while James Eatock, who runs the official He-Man YouTube channel and has also been referenced here, worked with a group of people to restore the artwork they couldn\u2019t get the original art for. (Forton only had the first two years available if I recall correctly.) A lot of strips had gone missing, replaced by using and restoring the foreign version, but even then a handful of strips are as missing as classic Doctor Who episodes. Maybe they\u2019ll turn up someday and maybe they won\u2019t but the search will continue. They found most of them by their deadline with the remaining summarized from the original scripts. I don\u2019t know if they didn\u2019t consider recreations or if they felt it would clash with the goals of the collection.\nFlipping through this the art is beautiful. It\u2019s similar to the Filmation designs but not a complete match in that they look like the cels were being used from the original show. Part of the reason could be the limitations of newspapers as they have a smaller pallet to work with. (I swear He-Man\u2019s hair looks red on occasion.) Some character models are closer than others but other Filmation elements, like Skeletor\u2019s Collector ship, show up. I think Adora gets mentioned even if She-Ra can\u2019t appear. The stories look interesting and I\u2019m looking forward to reading a full story, which I\u2019ll do next time when the series proper begins with \u201cDay Of The Comet\u201d!\nPosted by ShadowWing Tronix on April 20, 2017 in He-Man Newspaper Comics and tagged He-Man, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, newspaper strips.\nChris Weber, the writer, had saved two years worth of He-Man comic strips from the Los Angeles Times. The rest had to be tracked down. It\u2019s amazing how they were able to track down most of the strips. It truly was a worldwide Indiana Jones type adventure in order to accomplish that task! As an 80s kid and early 90s teen, I\u2019m amazed that I never knew about this newspaper strips until 2017! Then again, most of these were in overseas newspapers. A very small number of American newspapers carried the He-Man strips (one of these included a major Spanish language newspaper out of Los Angeles). Newspapers in Brazil, India, and Greece were very strong in printing the He-Man strips. As a result, there are MOTU fans today still around in those nations along with other international locales.\nThe He-Man Newspaper Comic Strips book is definitely one that I will be putting on either my birthday list or my Christmas list. Having had the chance to look through it, I am enchanted by the amazing quality of the story writing and art work, including the vivid colors of the Sunday edition strips. Plus, the interviews and other extra features are top notch. This book truly is the last frontier of classic \u201cold school\u201d He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. Long live He-Man and the MOTU!\nHe-Man Comic Strips: Day Of The Comet | BW Media Spotlight says:\n[\u2026] The He-Man Comics: Introduction To The Newspaper [\u2026]",

Furthermore Marillier, at 19 years old, is surely a brave and ambitious young actress.\nI know that I\u2019m desensitised but Raw is really less about gore and more about making the viewer shocked and uncomfortable. Included for your viewing pleasure are autopsies on dead dogs, a make-out session that includes eyeball licking, a cross-your-legs cringe-worthy DIY Brazilian wax, the ubiquitous raw meat-eating scene, horrific car crashes, close ups of itchy rashes and flaky skin, awkward sex, and shocking finger-licking cannibalism.\nBut deep down, if you can get past all those uncomfortable scenes, this is a coming-of-age story about family. A secret that unites a family, and the bond of sisterhood.\nGarance Marillier, Horror, Julia Ducournau, Raw",

        "raw_content": "Home > Student Resources > Alumni > Dr. Richard Salvatore, New Visions Health Careers\nIn the Salvatore family, dentistry runs deep.\nDr. Richard Salvatore Jr.\u2019s grandfather was a dentist. So too was his aunt and his uncle. His other aunt was a dental hygienist. And his father, also a dentist, is Dr. Salvatore\u2019s partner in his Malta practice.\nBut when Dr. Salvatore was a young man, he wasn\u2019t so sure he wanted to be like everyone else in his family \u2013 until he enrolled in the WSWHE BOCES New Visions Health program.\nThe one-year program, as taught by Lisa Hart, BSMT, MSEd, opened his eyes up to all the possibilities in the medical world.\n\u201cI was always interested in medicine,\u201d said Dr. Salvatore, relaxing on the comfy leather couch in his office lobby. \u201cBut I wasn\u2019t sure what direction I wanted to go in.\u201d\nNew Visions Health convinced him that dentistry was his passion too.\n\u201cI helped me because I got to experience everything in medicine,\u201d said Dr. Salvatore. \u201cWe spent time in the OR and the ER (at Saratoga Hospital). I saw surgery. I spent time exploring veterinary medicine and dentistry. I had a lot of one-to-one time with different physicians. Speaking with them helped convince me that dentistry is what I should be doing.\u201d\nThe class, offered in Wesley Health Center in Saratoga Springs, arranged for high school seniors to work directly with patients at the long-term care facility. Dr. Salvatore, then a student from Ballston Spa High School, thrived on the direct hands-on experience.\n\u201cIt was also a resume builder, helping me to get into college,\u201d said the dentist who attended Northeastern University in Boston and then the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine. \u201cWhen I got to college, I had already taken anatomy and physiology. So it helped me that way too.\u201d\nNot surprisingly, Dr. Salvatore, who now also practices with his wife, Dr. Vera Salvatore, would recommend New Visions Health to any student considering a career in medicine. Both, along with Dr. Salvatore\u2019s father, Dr. Salvatore Sr., are mentoring New Visions students. Needless to say, Dr. Salvatore Sr. is thrilled that his son joined him in the family practice.\n\u201cI\u2019m very proud of him, very, very proud,\u201d said his dad.\nSo too is Mrs. Hart who still sees Dr. Salvatore after all these years.\n\u201cShe\u2019s a patient,\u201d said the dentist, flashing his wide and bright dentist smile.\nClick here to read about the New Visions Health Careers Exploration.",

        "raw_content": "Disclaimer: This post contains highly emotional writing. Parental guidance is advised. Keep away from children under ten years old! (I mean it, I\u2019m all over the place in this post!)\nJust one word: Chocolate.\nI can already hear all the men sighing and saying: \u2018Women.\u2019 But the truth is, every woman in the world will understand. (Or maybe there are women out there who don\u2019t like chocolate and eat something else while on their periods, that\u2019s fine. This post still works, just fill in whatever food you like.)\nI know that there are \u201ccertain people\u201d who think women should stop using their periods as an excuse to eat whatever they want, but to them I would like to say: \u2018Sh*t up, you don\u2019t want to go there! And you most certainly don\u2019t want to awaken the dragon!\u2019\nEvery month we feel like we have no control over our bodies or our emotions and at that moment we deserve to have some chocolate. We deserve whatever we want! And it\u2019s not that we eat chocolate because we just don\u2019t care. It\u2019s the same as pregnancy cravings. We need it!\nAnd we know that it\u2019s wrong. Why do you think girls in movies are always crying when they eat a whole bucket of chocolate ice-cream? It\u2019s because we know it\u2019s wrong to eat so much of it, but at the same time it\u2019s so gooooood! Like an angel peeing on your tongue! (That\u2019s a Dutch saying, just in case you didn\u2019t know and this sentence didn\u2019t make sense at all!)\nIs there still someone out there who hasn\u2019t realized I\u2019m writing this post while on my period? I would like to apologize for this emotional post, but I\u2019m eating these chocolate Easter eggs and I just can\u2019t stop. I feel bad enough for eating so many, so this post is just to make me feel better. It\u2019s my excuse to keep eating.\nAnd I\u2019m glad that my uterus is telling me that I\u2019m not pregnant, but she could just send a card.\nSurprise, you\u2019re not pregnant!\nYour Uterus!\nRight now it\u2019s more like my uterus is using Morse code by hitting me with a hammer.\n-.\u2013 \u2014 ..- .\u2014-. .-. .\n-. \u2014 \u2013\n.\u2013. .-. . \u2013. -. .- -. \u2013\nThat\u2019s actual Morse code for you\u2019re not pregnant! But at least I no longer feel bad about eating my delicious Easter eggs. Thank you person who invented chocolate.",

        "raw_content": "Phobias. People don\u2019t like to be told they have a phobia.\nIt doesn\u2019t matter what the phobia is; if you tell them they are something-o-phobic, they will immediately go out and try to prove you wrong.\nI think they are Phobiaphobic, but I\u2019m not a doctor, so I can\u2019t diagnose. I know there should be a Malpracticesuitaphobia, but I can\u2019t find it.\nAgateophobia is the fear of insanity, and if you diagnosed someone with it who was really just afraid of being irritable, that might drive them crazy.\nPhobias exist from A to Z, the last ones being zelophobia, a fear of jealousy, zeusophobia, a fear of God or gods, zemmiphobia, a fear of the great mole rat, and zoophobia, a fear of animals.\nThe Great Mole Rat has his own designation, because he is The Great Mole Rat, doncha know. Maybe he came from the Peanuts comic strip, and only appears at Halloween.\nNo wonder people are afraid of him. He probably ate the Great Pumpkin.\nZelophobia needs further clarification; does it mean fear of your own jealousy, or fear of some husband or wife who is going to nail your butt to the wall for flirting with their spouse?\n(Envy is something altogether different; it just means you\u2019re afraid the neighbors have better furniture than you do.)\nZeusophobia may apply only to Greeks, but I suspect it is for everyone, because if you don\u2019t fear an all-powerful Being, you are unhealthily complacent.\nDoes it only take one person to inaugurate a new phobia, or do several people have to share your irrational fear for it to be recognized as reliable?\nIf I have a fear of getting ink on my fingers from reading the newspaper, is that enough to get me a place in the textbooks? I think it should.\nIn fact, I\u2019ll write to the Op-Ed page about it.\nXanthophobia is the fear of the color yellow or the word yellow. A few colors seem to strike the fear of Zeus into people. (For instance, people who paint their houses bright purple are terrorized before they ever leave Home Depot.)\n\u201cYou\u2019re yella\u2019!\u201d the cowboys used to shout at some hapless brethren who had a sensible fear of getting shot or trampled by cattle. Could it be those name-calling cowboys\u2019 fault that the color of sunshine, butter, and daisies is now reviled from here to the corral?\nXenoglossophobia is the fear of foreign languages.\nIs a Spanish speaker afraid of hearing English, and an English speaker afraid when they hear Spanish?\nThat would be a big problem in this country, but I have no statistics as to how many Hispanics are running in fear down the street. I thought it may have been due to other societal factors, but I am not afraid to be wrong.\nAll kinds of people could be running down the street in abject fear, and not knowing why.\nThey may be xenophobic, which is a fear of strangers and foreigners, but are they also afraid of foreign languages?\nPerhaps that is only a hold-out from high school when they failed their French class, and they are not dealing with multiple fears which involve someone who eats caviar, shiokara, or balut.\nFor those not in the know, and I wish I wasn\u2019t, shiokara is a delicacy, a developing duck embryo boiled alive. Balut is composed of marine animals stewed up in their own organs. Those unfortunate xenophobes may have blennophobia, a fear of slime, and those who like to consume it.\nThere\u2019s also Russophobia, which is a fear of Russians. Why do they get their own fear, instead of the general one of someone who\u2019s afraid of foreigners? Damn Commies. There is also bolshephobia, which is a fear of Bolsheviks, so the Russians get it coming and going.\nThat\u2019s the fear of ending up exactly where you started, or of having to go in and out of the house because you forgot something after you\u2019ve locked the front door, and started the car. I don\u2019t have that fear, thank goodness, because I get out of the car sixteen times to make sure I locked the front door.\nBarophobia is the fear of gravity.\nNow, these people have a real problem. Whereas, the rest of us don\u2019t generally like to be belted into our La-z-Boys or having to hold on to the sides of the bed when reclining, they try to levitate their way out of their anxieties.\nThey need to get over it, perhaps by developing basophobia, a helpful transitional fear of falling down. That will get them to stay in their seats.\nHippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia, a very looong word, is the fear of long words. Don\u2019t even talk about this to your doctor, especially if you have a fear of words, logophobia.\nRhytiphobia is the fear of wrinkles (one I am familiar with) and is very similar to rhypophobia, a fear of defecation.\nDo not forget which is which when discussing these with your doctor. They affect the opposite ends of the human body, unless you are afraid of getting a wrinkled butt, which may have developed at the same time as your kathisophobia, a fear of sitting down.\nThere are phobias that seem to mean the same thing, most dealing with sex and body parts. I guess its always possible to kiss, but be mortally afraid of someone going to second, third, and home base.\nThere\u2019s sarmassaphobia, which is a fear of love-making, and phallusophobia is a fear of penises. (Peni?) However, medorthophobia is the fear of an erect penis.\nWhy would you be afraid of any other kind?\nVirginitiphobia is the fear of rape, and I am here to tell someone that you don\u2019t have to be a virgin to have a healthy fear of rape. Sexophobia is the fear of the opposite sex, as if that\u2019s all it takes to have sex.\nThere is also the fear of virgins, parthenophobia, exhibited by the same people who brought you medorthophobia.\nThere are only two fears that start with \u2018W\u2019, and one is Walloonphobia, fear of the Walloons.\nAt first glance, I thought this had something to do with Dr. Seuss and his infamous Walloons on Mulberry Street. Before I could type in \u2018what are the Walloons\u2019 in a Google search, a ready-made phrase popped up saying, \u2018What the hell are the Walloons?\u2019. Clearly, someone has a fear of not knowing what the Walloons are. That hasn\u2019t made the list, yet.\nI don\u2019t exactly have a fear of fearing Walloons, or a fear of offending those who have a fear-\nOh, never mind. As long as my scriptophobia, a fear of writing in public, doesn\u2019t start to act up.\nhttps://chezgigi.com/2017/04/25/phobias-dont-scare-me-unless-i-have-one-do-i-is-one-crawling-up-my-back/\nfear of phobiasphobiasWalloons\nFabulasphobic\u2026amen\nHi Ms. B! So good to hear from you! See you in FBook now and then, and y\u2019all are looking good!\n\u201cAs long as my scriptophobia, a fear of writing in public, doesn\u2019t start to act up.\u201d\nI have a phobia of you developing scriptophobia.\nDon\u2019t be a-scared, little one! No worries. I won\u2019t shut up for awhile!\nThat\u2019s reassuring. Humour would wither like an untended plant without you! \ud83d\ude09\nThank you, Shakti! Just saw this. Hope all is going well! Hugs!\nAs usual my Love you got them all funnied up. That\u2019s not a Phobia is it?\nWell I sure you\u2019ll find out if it is. The only one I could think of that you didn\u2019t touch on was MY FEAR, The fear of fear or the fear of feeling fear if you will.\nLove Always Your man alone.\nThe fear of feeling fear! Fearophobia. Kisses! Never be afraid!\nhttps://chezgigi.com/2017/04/25/phobias-dont-scare-me-unless-i-have-one-do-i-is-one-crawling-up-my-back",

        "title": "17 Of The Best Independent Bookstores In Chicago - The Chicagoist",
        "raw_content": "By Emma G. Gallegos in Arts & Entertainment on Dec 21, 2016 8:38PM\nIndependent bookstores have taken a beating since the arrival of big box chains, the internet and e-readers. But some book stores are not only surviving, but thriving. Some of the stores fill a niche, like stocking the weirdest sci-fi or zines. Others create a community with their events calendar. All of them have a thoughtful selection of books that are more fun to browse IRL and staff on hand who can make recommendations an algorithm could never dream of. These are the favorites of the Chicagoist staff\u2014add your own favorite booksellers in the comments.\nQuimby's is the perfect place to find, say, a witch calendar (Quimby's/Instagram)\nQuimby's is a champion of the eclectic, independent, countercultural, punk, weird and obscure. Just wandering through here to see what's available is an education. You can find what you need to make your way through critical theory or your first time dropping acid or casting a Satanic spell. Quimby's is especially noteworthy for being a major center of zine culture in Chicago. You can find quite an array of independently-produced zines, comics, graphic novels, novels and anything that blurs those lines. Bring your friends and dates along to browse and commemorate the occasion in their photobooth. This year the shop celebrated 25 years in business.\nQuimby's Bookstore is located at 1854 W. North Ave., in Wicker Park (773) 342-0910\nUnabridged Bookstore\nThe first thing you notice strolling into Unabridged Bookstore are the lemon-yellow, laminated cards lining the tidy shelves revealing personal, handwritten recommendations that guide you to books you didn't realize you wanted to read. For more than 35 years, Unabridged Bookstore has been Chicago's leading source for LGBT literature, but the Lakeview bookseller also boasts an impressive children\u2019s section, a vast \u201ctravel room\u201d in the basement, and a carefully curated sale book section with current and below-the-radar hardcopy tomes (remember those?) appealing to both bibliophiles and casual readers. \u2014Tony Peregrin\nUnabridged Bookstore is located at 3251 N. Broadway in Lakeview, (773) 883-9119\nWomen And Children First, on display (Photo by NYRB Classics via the Creative Commons on Flickr)\nWomen and Children First is a feminist bookstore devoted to everything that can't be added to a virtual shopping cart\u2014from support groups to TEDx Talks to author readings from both established and novice writers. Oh, and there's books too\u2014the Andersonville bookseller stocks a robust collection of more than 30,000 titles by and about women, children's books for all ages, and LGBTQ fiction and non-fiction. With a staff that features writers, political activists, and mothers, Women and Children First has amassed legions of devoted fans drawn to the bookseller's unassuming and inclusive charm. \u2014Tony Peregrin\nWomen and Children First is located at 5233 N. Clark St. in Andersonville, (773) 769-9299\nLots of book clubs and coffee here at Book Cellar (Book Cellar/Instagram)\nBook Cellar has everything an independent store should: a well-curated selection of books and a well-versed staff. What makes Book Cellar stand out is its role in the local lit community. There's always something going on, whether a book club, a signing, a reading (once it was Studs Terkel!), a comedy show or a reading party when a long-anticipated book comes out. There is coffee, wine and light snacks to give you sustenance should you want to hang out here and chat. This is a book store for the extroverted reader.\nThe Book Cellar is located at 4736 N. Lincoln Ave. in Lincoln Square, (773) 293-2665\nAn ideal reading couch at Myopic (Photo by rebecca anne via the Creative Commons on Flickr)\nMyopic has three floors of lovingly chosen used books right in the heart of Wicker Park, and it's the unanimous favorite of the Chicagoist staff. Its labyrinthine stacks are a great place to spend an afternoon. If you need help finding your way around the place or need a recommendation, the staff on hand is immensely helpful. Standouts include its excellent fiction section, the basement collection of sci-fi books and a great Chicago history section. Monday nights they have free live music that tends toward the more experimental side and regular poetry readings, too. Be warned: they've got a no cell phone policy and they don't have a restroom.\nMyopic Books is located at 1564 N. Milwaukee Ave. in Wicker Park, (773) 862-4882\nThe Seminary's new space (Photo by Connie Ma via the Creative Commons on Flickr)\nTHE SEMINARY CO-OP/57TH STREET BOOKS\nWhat the South Side lacks in quantity of independent book stores, it makes up with two stores, just a block apart, run by the Seminary Co-Op. One of them, the Seminary Co-Op, houses one of the largest collections of academic books in the world. It focuses on the social sciences and humanities, which helps to serve the community at the University of Chicago. But it's a great resource for anyone interested in diving deep on any particular subject or a particular language, whether in or out of school. If you're looking for a less scholarly, more typical general interest book store, head over to 57th Street Books. The spread here is pretty huge, but it has that indie bookstore touch I love so much: notes from staff with recommendations you otherwise might not have considered. It's easy to join the co-op, and in doing so you will join the ranks of luminaries such as Susan Sontag, Saul Bellow, Barack and Michelle Obama, Friedrich Hayek and Harold Washington.\nSeminary Co-Op is located at 5751 S. Woodlawn Ave. in Hyde Park, (773) 752-4381; 57th Street Books is located at 1301 E. 57th St. in Hyde Park, (773) 684-1300\nThis is the best way to enjoy a book\u2014or a bookstore (Photo by Read It & Eat/Instagram)\nTwo great things in the world are reading and eating, and this store combines them beautifully. There's an emphasis on cookbooks, but there are all sorts of books about food. Travelogues, memoirs, history, everything! Authors, whether chefs, writers or other food celebs, come by to sign their books. Even better: there is actually food for you to taste from their test kitchens. They often test the stuff straight out of cookbooks. Best of all: you can take classes here and learn to cook for yourself.\nRead It & Eat is located at 2142 N. Halsted St. in Lincoln Park, (773) 661-6158\nBucket o'Blood's offerings (Photo by Julianne via the Creative Commons on Flickr)\nBUCKET O'BLOOD BOOKS AND RECORDS\nThis bookstore carves out a niche for itself and owns it when it comes to science fiction, fantasy and horror books. They've got a great selection of horror and B-movies to accompany this selection. While most of what they have on hand is genre fiction, they've also got a nice selection of literary fiction and nonfiction. The store's name might evoke a place with a basement rec-room aesthetic, but this space is airy and organized with a few retro movie posters and tasteful skulls thrown in the mix.\nBucket o'Blood is located at 3182 N Elston Ave. in Avondale, (312) 890-3860\nVolumes Bookcafe's Harry Potter release party (Volumes Bookcafe/Facebook)\nThis is the newest entry on the list, and it feels very new. Dim bookstores with narrow, winding aisles have their own romance, but Volumes feels cheery, open and welcoming. The ceilings are high, there's a lot of light and everything is beautifully organized. Volumes opened this year in Wicker Park, a neighborhood not hurting for booksellers, yet it has found its niche. Volumes looks like a cafe in the front, where it serves wine, cider and local craft beer in addition to Metropolis coffee, as well as Dollop Pastries. The store goes deep and has a selection of mostly new offerings, including a healthy section for kids. Volumes hosts a lot of events: book clubs, open mics, comedy nights, weekly trivia, Scrabble league and StoryTime for the kids twice a week.\nVolumes Bookcafe is located at 1474 N. Milwaukee Ave. in Wicker Park, (773) 697-8066\nIt's an inviting space (Open Books/Yelp)\nOpen Books isn't your average used bookstore. It has a selection of 50,000 books\u201410,000 of those dedicated to children and teens. Its location in the West Loop is clean, well-organized but also sprawling. It's a great place to pick up a book without spending a whole lot. (Look for their periodic sales to save more.) But what sets it apart is its educational outreach efforts. The nonprofit grants books to kids (and adults!), and it coordinates volunteers to work at schools throughout the city. Volunteers get set up with kids who need reading buddies\u2014that is adults who can help them learn to read and learn to love reading. There are programs to help with creative writing skills, as well. So if you're looking for a book, and maybe also a chance to volunteer and share your love of the written word, Open Books is the place.\nOpen Books is located at 651 W. Lake St. in the West Loop\nUNDERGROUND BOOKSTORE\nUnderground Bookstore is a rarity in that it is one of the few black-owned bookstores dedicated to Afrocentric thought in Chicago. This South Side bookstore has been in business 24 years and its main focus is books dedicated to a wide range of black political thought and spirituality, including metaphysics. Here you can find books or recordings of leaders like Malcolm X or an exhaustive account of America's prison industrial complex. They're also known for having a particularly well-stocked Afrocentric children's section, a critical resource given how important it is to children's self-esteem to see people with their skin color represented\u2014a fact white children can take for granted. The bookstore occasionally hosts speakers and writers, like New York Times best-selling novelists Omar Tyree (famous for the Flyy Girl trilogy) and Carl Weber, who also runs the publishing house Urban Books.\nUnderground Bookstore is located at 1727 East 87th St., (773) 768-8869\nSandmeyer's is in a lovely old building (Sandmeyer's/Facebook)\nSANDMEYER'S BOOKSTORE\nA true mom-and-pop in a beautiful historical building in the South Loop on Printer's Row. This is a great place to pick up a new release or an old classic. It's not a huge store, but they pack quite a bit into the space. There's a great section dedicated to local history and local writers, and the children's section is noteworthy. They appreciate loyalty. For just $10, you can get a member card that entitles you to 10 percent off.\nSandmeyer's Bookstore is located at 714 S. Dearborn St. Chicago, in the South Loop, (312) 922-2104\n\"Like many huskies, Ramona often acts like a big, aloof cat and sleeps in her window all day.\"(Photo by snickclunk via the Creative Commons on Flickr)\nUncharted Books is a lovely used book store in Logan Square that opened back in 2012, one of the newer used stores in town. (Thank you, Kickstarter!) They've got a solid collection of books in excellent condition, including some rarer finds. The store often hosts events. The space is low-key and comfortable place to hang for an afternoon. Most importantly is it's dog-friendly. Whether or not you have your own dog, you should say hello to the store husky named Ramona.\nUncharted Books is located at 2620 N. Milwaukee Ave. in Logan Square\nAre you the type of person who wants to support a local business but is also kind of cheap (or broke!)? Do you mind a trip to Oak Park? Head to this \"fiercely independent\" book store, which makes a point of giving you a discount off the sticker price on new books wherever they can (they also have a selection of used books). They also have a great local history section\u2014not just on Chicago but Oak Park itself and its two most famous natives, Frank Lloyd Wright and Ernest Hemingway.\nThe Book Table is located in 1045 Lake St. in Oak Park, (708) 386-9800\nArmadillo's Pillow (Photo by Stephanie Barto via the Chicagoist Flickr Pool)\nARMADILLO'S PILLOW\nArmadillo's Pillows bills itself as having \"common, uncommon, and hard-to-find used books.\" This is a great place to come by when you want something new, but don't want to spend a lot. You can find some great deals under $9 and even some for just a buck. The staff is friendly and helpful in pointing you in the right direction, making recommendations and even getting in touch with you if they get something in you might like. It's got a bohemian vibe right down to the incense burning.\nArmadillo's Pillow is located at 6753 N. Sheridan Rd. in Rogers Park\nA recently made-over biography section (City Lit Books/Facebook)\nThis is the place to go in Logan Square to pick up the latest bestseller or something a little more off-the-beaten path in a setting that feels very warm and neighborly. It's a comfy place to hang around once you've made your selection or you just wrapped up an event. Their staff recommendations are almost novellas. They care! The store hosts its own full roster of events, including open mics, book clubs, story time and some great author appearances. A tip for drivers: there's a lot of free parking in back.\nCity Lit is located at 2523 N. Kedzie Blvd. in Logan Square, (773) 235-2523\nCurbside Books & Records, a small shop with a very friendly staff inside Revival Food Hall\nWicker Park Secret Agent Supply Co., a store that sells books whose proceeds go to 826CHI\nAfter-Words, a downtown shop that puts its new and used books alongside each other\nAnderson's Book Shop, a great local chain if you're in the burbs and want something besides Barnes & Noble.\nbest of chicagoistbookstores",

        "title": "Emojis on the Wall \u2013 China Channel",
        "raw_content": "Emojis on the Wall5 min read\nDecember 22, 2017 January 2, 2018 Ting Guo\nOn Hong Kong campuses, a bulletin board Cold War \u2013 Ting Guo\nAs someone who grew up in post-Tiananmen mainland China, democracy walls on Hong Kong university campuses always evoke a sense of bittersweet nostalgia in me, for the liberal era I was just young enough to miss. The campus walls pay tribute to the original Democracy Wall in Beijing, where in 1978 people put up posters expressing their political opinions and recalling their suffering during the Cultural Revolution. The Democracy Wall and the \u201cBeijing Spring\u201d it had ushered in were both shut down in 1979, foreshadowing the bloody end to the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989.\nAt the same time, the way that notices and discussions are posted on the Hong Kong democracy walls also bear resemblance to big character posters, or dazibao, a powerful tool of propaganda during Mao\u2019s era. Many were publically humiliated and attacked by anonymous dazibao, written quite often by peers or even family members.\nThe university democracy walls have become the center of disputes between students from Hong Kong and mainland China. It started in September, when Hong Kong independence banners appeared at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. These banners were quickly removed, which led to the student union accusing the university of suppressing free discussion about the Special Administrative Region\u2019s future.\nStudents from mainland China showed a remarkable amount of political engagement, but also their lack of experience in such discourse. Hence, emojis became a popular means of response on the democracy walls, sometimes in patronizing and sexist ways. For instance, on the Chinese University of Hong Kong Democracy Wall \u2013 a common feature of Hong Kong universities \u2013 we see posters of popular emojis with captions such as \u201cToo ugly to be independent, jackass,\u201d \u201cYou make your daddy laugh,\u201d and \u201cI\u2019m the flower of the nation, what the heck are you.\u201d These emojis, commonly used on China\u2019s ubiquitous social media platform WeChat, express emotions rather than arguments.\nAt the City University of Hong Kong, a separate campus in Kowloon, where mainland students make up only about 10 percent of the overall student body, their Democracy Wall on the ground floor entrance greets visitors with a different outlook. Next to a replica of the Goddess of Democracy, a symbol of 1989 Tiananmen student protests, we see phrases such as \u201cCommunist spies get the hell outta here\u201d and \u201cMao\u2019s bandits bring trouble to the globe,\u201d harkening back to Cold War discourse.\nThese messages are more sophisticated than the emojis on the Chinese University of Hong Kong Wall, but their judgmental tone drifts away from the original intention of democracy walls, that is, for democratic political debates aiming to better society. Furthermore, the fact that students who mainly grew up in the 1990s and even 2000s need to go back all the way to the Cold War modes of communication to express their discontent is a worrying sign of political and social distance between mainland and Hong Kong youngsters.\nDazibao took over public discourse in the first decades of the PRC. During the Cultural Revolution, in particular, such posters were employed more widely, conveying everything from satire to denunciation, sometimes used as weapons of aggressive personal attacks. As Hua Sheng, has noted, dazibao used to be able to create a social spectacle with \u201cminimum cost.\u201d\nSocial media in China, while a freer space for expression than traditional media, is tightly controlled and monitored. In the age of social media in the free world, by contrast, people are given the freedom of choice as they are entitled to their own opinions as well as selecting what and how they would like to be informed of. Younger generations in particular, have grown accustomed to being able to choose what they read, and how they are being communicated.\nHowever, as the fallout from the 2016 US presidential election has laid bare, Facebook and Twitter give the illusion of choice, but users are often fed what the algorithm predicts they might want to read, a fact exploited by advertisers and \u201cfake news\u201d purveyors alike. Behind freedom of expression, we have also gradually lost our ability to confront and articulate different opinions. If there is a debate, we debate within the headings and hashtags that Facebook and Twitter have provided for us, while very few words are needed to elucidate our ideas.\nDemocracy walls are different. These walls occupy an interesting place on campus today because they represent a paradox: they are both a transformation and a reminder of what it was like in the past, when a board in public was the most effective and often only platform to disseminate news and ideas \u2013 or for the state to control and monopolize them.\nBut young students have grown unfamiliar using with such formal engagements to express their political opinions. Mainland students who grew up in the apolitical post-89 China, in particular, are not familiar with political discourse and the history of protests. And yet here they are, finding themselves in a more politically charged environment in Hong Kong, where some of their local peers took part in the Occupy Central movement three years ago and have become disillusioned in and even hostile to the Communist regime.\nHong Kong students have relatively more experience in political engagement, or at least the idea of it. For instance, there are guidelines for how to communicate on the democracy walls at universities, including eligibility, usage, content, prior notice and so on. Furthermore, local students grow up with the idea of freedom of expression, though whether they know how to effectively execute such freedom is a different matter.\nThe ratio of mainland students to locals in Hong Kong is surprising. For instance, although mainland students comprise only about 14 percent of the overall student body at Chinese University of Hong Kong, when the Taiwanese writer Lung Ying-tai gave a talk there this month, she was warmly received by hundreds of students, most of them students from the mainland who have long admired her work back home. Some locals remarked that it felt like the Republican Era again, when students and teachers from mainland China flocked to Hong Kong, but under quite different circumstances.\nEmojis, as exaggerated cartoon faces, can be an easy resort that holds us back from effective communication. How to engage with each other on open platforms in more articulate and effective ways is the untaught lesson that universities, society and students themselves need to catch up on. \u220e\nInstagram images by Ting Guo @ting_microway.",

        "raw_content": "A very common term that people see in a broad spectrum of product marketing is the term \u201chypoallergenic.\u201d While the term notably came into existence in the 1950s, and has grown in popularity ever since, very few of us stop to learn the exact meaning of the word until we are diagnosed with allergies. So, what does hypoallergenic mean?\nHypoallergenic: What It Means -\nWhile the term hypoallergenic has no official medical definition, it\u2019s widely accepted to mean causing fewer or a below-normal number of allergies. So, if you\u2019re talking about a type of pet, fabric, cosmetics, or a different kind of product marketed as hypoallergenic, that doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that it never provokes allergies. It does mean that the object in question can be described as having little likelihood of causing an allergic response (Miriam-Webster Dictionary).\nLet\u2019s step back and understand allergies. According to the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology, allergies are the sixth leading cause of chronic illness in the United States, with more than 50 million Americans suffering from allergies each year. Asthma sufferers alone number more than 24 million. Common allergies include allergic rhinitis, also known as hay fever, as well as atopic dermatitis (eczema), and food allergy (eggs, nuts, and many more).\nAllergies don\u2019t just plague the adult population. According to the CDC, allergic conditions are among the most common medical conditions affecting children in the United States. Respiratory allergies (such as hay fever) are among the most common allergies among children and they can affect a child\u2019s physical and emotional health, interfere with daily activities, such as sleep, play, and attending school, and once they exist, studies show the prevalence of respiratory allergies increased with age.\nPatients show symptoms of allergic reactions in a variety of places, such as the nose, eyes, and skin. Some allergic reactions may come in the form of milder skin rashes. Most respiratory allergies show chronic symptoms in the form of runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, cough due to post nasal drip, itchy eyes and nose, sore throat, watery eyes, and dry, scaly skin. When diagnosed with respiratory allergies, we begin searching for causes and preventative measures.\nAllergens: The Culprits\nAllergens, best understood as triggering agents of allergic reactions, can come from a wide variety of sources like pollen, mold spores, pet dander, dust mites, clothing, and chemicals used in a wide array of products to increase certain performance characteristics of the fabric (colorfastness, stain resistance, etc.).\nIn every category, there are alternatives to help reduce the symptoms of respiratory allergies. Certain pet breeds can be hypoallergenic, enabling those with severe allergic reactions to dogs and cats to enjoy animals in the home again. Several makeup brands offer hypoallergenic applications that won\u2019t cause inflammatory skin response in most of those who suffer from makeup-triggered eczema.\nCertain natural fabrics, like cotton, linen, sheepskin, and silk, are hypoallergenic and known for being soft and easy on the skin. What these fabrics have in common with each other, as well as highly engineered, technical fabrics used in apparel and bedding, is a much tighter weave, commonly known in industry circles as micronaire. The term micronaire technically expresses the degree of air permeability in a fabric. High-performance fabrics contain microscopic pores that are considerably smaller than allergens like dust mites, effectively forming a barrier to allergen penetration\u2014and subsequent irritation by immuno-response\u2014while still allowing air and moisture flow. This technical attribute is typically marketed as a fabric\u2019s ability to \u201cwick.\u201d\nGoing Hypoallergenic: Diet, Clothing, Home Environment\nThere are many ways that people are \u201cgoing hypoallergenic.\u201d For some, that means a change in diet to avoid foods that trigger an allergic response, whether it\u2019s avoiding dairy products, eggs, or various kinds of nuts. For others, that means a change of wardrobe to hypoallergenic clothing made from silk, linen, and other non-irritating fabrics.\nMany of us, however, deal with persistent allergic conditions like asthma and chronic rhinitis that result from a wide mix of environmental exposures. While it\u2019s difficult to control our environments wherever we must go in our daily living and working, we need to focus on minimizing allergy triggers in the environment where most of us spend most of our time: our homes. There are a number of actions you can take to make your home hypoallergenic.\nFirst, start in your bedroom, specifically with your bedding. Due to the body heat and perspiration generated during our sleep, our bedrooms are the most attractive places for breeding allergens like dust mites, which feed on dead human skin. Perhaps the best way to battle these bedroom allergens is to encase your bedding\u2014pillows, mattresses, and even comforters, with high-performance fabrics, both engineered and all-natural cotton\u2014that will wick away your body moisture while denying entry into your bedding by dust mites and bed bugs.\nNext, you\u2019ll want to follow an intense cleaning ritual that begins with your bedding. Wash everything in hot water and, do it weekly. Wipe down all surfaces regularly, and vacuum all flooring and upholstered furniture every few days with a machine that\u2019s certified as allergy and asthma-friendly.\nYou\u2019ll also want to look into air purification\u2014this is another great way to achieve a hypoallergenic home. As with your vacuum cleaner, you\u2019ll need to buy air purifiers that are certified allergy and asthma-friendly. If your home has an open floor plan, you\u2019ll probably want to invest in larger models that provide purification coverage for up to several hundred square feet of space. With smaller bedrooms, you can use a small unit up to 150-200 square feet, while many average-sized rooms in the 200-400 square foot range require medium-sized air purifiers.\nIf your allergies become severe or you find chronic conditions like asthma exacerbated when you\u2019re at home, you\u2019ll want to remove fiber-based furnishings whenever possible. That means getting rid of wall-to-wall carpet and area rugs, as well as heavy drapes and even overstuffed upholstered furniture.\nThe unfortunate reality for the nearly 50 million Americans suffering from allergies is that there\u2019s no way to avoid allergens completely. However, with good hygiene, environmental awareness, and willingness to invest in the right products, we can live our lives in a hypoallergenic way, reducing our exposure to allergens and limiting our allergic reactions in the process. As these conditions become less persistent, we can all live much healthier lives.",

        "title": "GPA for CGC Comics - Daily CGC Comic Book Prices and Analysis",
        "raw_content": "After 5 years of aggressively seeking out and collecting High Grade CGC Comic from the Bronze Era, I decided to compile a list of comics, that in the highly-coveted NM/MT CGC 9.8 Grade, fall in one of these 3 categories:\n1.\tNo 9.8\u2019s\u2026 or Just 1 Existing Copy\n2.\tIn Far Lower Supply than Current Demand\n3. Probably Under Dealer Radar in Terms of Potential -OR- Likely Not Worth the Risk/Reward to Grade Regardless of Potential\nI believe one of the reasons for \u201clower than expected\u201d CGC 9.8 numbers specifically regarding the 1970-1974 bronze issues listed below has something to do with the smaller print runs, that were in most cases, far less when compared to the numbers produced in the mid to late 1960\u2019s. In addition, even though there was obviously some speculation going on, it seems as if many titles/issues were presumed unworthy of the effort. The majority of speculation likely included first issues and more obvious 1st appearances with potential. The fact that there are plenty of relevant issues (in low 9.8 supply) that proved to be \u201ckey or in demand\u201d much later supports the idea that they were not identified in advance. As a result, there are in many cases NO CGC 9.8 copies at all\u2026 or just 1 or 2 at best. Another consideration regarding the \u201cnon-key / filler issues\u201d from this time period is the fact that most heavy CGC submitters (the ones bringing the high quality books to market on a more regular basis) must weigh the \u201crisk/reward ratio\u201d on nearly all books \u201cPre 1975\u201d since the CGC grading fee makes that turn upward prior to the 1975 mark. Lastly, there were a decent number of \u201cblack/dark cover\u201d books from this time period, they are understandably less available compared to \u201cnon black/dark cover books\u201d due to the inferior quality of the black ink and it\u2019s ability to resist wear.\nIn my experience, the Mid 70\u2019s seems to be the point and time when collecting really started evolving to the next step for the majority of serious collectors. The introduction of bags and boards and better storage habits, and buying multiples started to become even more commonplace. There must be many available raw copies with 9.8 potential from the mid 70\u2019s on. I assume the most relevant factor regarding the lack of supply brought to market for the \u201cPost 1974\u201d bronze titles/issues (1975-1980) is that most most dealers are simply not willing to put as much time and effort grading the less popular titles (and particularly the \u201cnon-key/filler\u201d portions) due to the limited upside that exists if anything less than a 9.8 is achieved. Even if 9.8\u2019s are received many Post \u201876 bronze 9.8\u2019s don\u2019t fetch nearly as much as Pre \u201876 books. For the Bronze Collector, particularly those wishing to put together runs, this is the sad reality presently. Such titles as (Nova, Spider-Woman, Machine Man,) for the most part only have the first issue graded for example.\nI contacted Kevin Boyd of Paradise Conventions (www.torontocomicon.com) for his input. Kevin is clearly one of the hobby\u2019s most knowledgeable (and friendliest) collectors. He offered these remarks that offer further insight regarding supply in the shorter 1975-1976 transition period as well as post 1977...\n\u201cDefinitely agree with most of your assessments. I do think the CGC price barrier affects the submission of pre-1974 regular issues, and I also agree that there a lot of more books post-1977 that have been preserved due to bagging and boarding practices, but also due to the foundation of the direct market and a philosophy of hoarding back issues for future sales approach that many 1980's stores took (that most newer stores wouldn't dream of doing). Most comic book stores didn't exist pre-1975 so they could only obtain pre-1975 backstock by selling their own collections, buying collections, from warehouse finds, or from catalogs sent out by the larger dealers who had the issues in their backstock.\u201d\nIn this installment (of this 3-part article) we\u2019ll be covering roughly 1/3rd (A through I) of the 3 categories listed above.

        "raw_content": "Go Behind-the-Scenes with Four Peaks TV for \u201cTeach Hanson\u201d\nArticle by Ashley-Rose O\u2019Mara, Jordan Slaymaker and Tanner Taylor\nFor the 2012-2013 season of Four Peaks TV the name of the game has been increasing audience engagement. This fall Scott Macklin, Executive Producer of Four Peaks TV and Associate Director of the MCDM, spearheaded a year-long Production Studio course to facilitate further student involvement in the making and promotion of the show. You can learn more about this season\u2019s Four Peaks TV strategy in Scott\u2019s FTM blog post.\nIn addition to UWTV, episodes of Four Peaks TV began airing on Northwest Cable News on Saturdays at 4 p.m. and on Sundays at 9 p.m. This new partnership inspired the team to leverage the larger audience and presence NWCN brings.\nIn each episode host Hanson Hosein has a conversation with an Innovator, Entrepreneur, Creative and/or Connector (the four pillars of Four Peaks) who has effectively harnessed pieces of today\u2019s digital transformation to bring success to their discipline. This season we\u2019re also ending each show with a \u201cTeach Hanson\u201d segment, where Hanson learns a skill from the featured guest like learning a new chord on the guitar, perfecting basketball dribbling or making a comic book.\nAccording to Scott, \u201cIt is our belief in the MCDM that all organizations always need to be in a learning mode. By flipping the script so that Hanson is learning something new, we\u2019re hopefully modeling the way for others. Even someone like Hanson can learn a thing or two.\u201d\nTo promote the show and test out some screen strategies, Production Studio students shot and edited short behind-the-scenes clips like the one you see above to use on Four Peaks TV\u2019s social media channels like Facebook and Twitter in an effort to continue the show\u2019s dialogue online.\nSo why did we go behind-the-scenes?\nA behind-the-scenes account gives viewers a chance to discover the activities and processes that go into creating a show, and more specifically the Jane Park episode. This preview provides a sneak peak of the show by following the Four Peaks TV crew, host (Hanson Hosein) and guest (Jane Park) as they prepare for the shoot.\nIn addition, the behind-the-scenes clip gives the audience the opportunity to meet other key players behind Four Peaks TV. Narrated by Ashley-Rose O\u2019Mara, Associate Producer, viewers get to see the filming that happens on location.\nTo prepare for this project our Production Studio team created an action-idea and researched popular behind-the-scenes videos on YouTube. Drawing inspiration from the making of an Old Spice commercial and a behind-the-scenes feature from REI on their \u201cExpert Advice\u201d videos, we were able to envision what the final piece could look like.\nCheck out our Behind-The-Scenes with Julep video above or on YouTube. Please don\u2019t hesitate to leave feedback as well \u2013 we love hearing from our Flip The Media readers!\nGo Behind-the-Scenes with Four Peaks TV for \u201cTeach Hanson\u201d 01.20.2013",

Why give thanks on one day just because the calendar says to? I am, however, thankful for many things on most days. Once in awhile things get to the point where I cannot think of anything to be thankful for. Luckily, that doesn\u2019t last too long and I am soon back to having things to list as what I am grateful for.\nI made it to Seattle. Last year I was sick and had to abort plans to come up so I stayed home alone, and sick, for Thanksgiving. Not this year! And this year I have a new grandbaby, Mati. Of course, I am also thankful for the other two grandboys! In fact, I would have to say that my three grandchildren and the one on the way are my blessings. They make life livable. On the days that I can\u2019t think of a thing to be grateful for, they are what keep me going.\nI am also thankful for my health. I still have a lot of health issues but after the major surgery in 2015, much has been resolved and I don\u2019t take that at all lightly. I\u2019m very thankful that things worked out as they did and I ended up at a top rate hospital that was finally able to diagnose and fix a lot of what was wrong.\nMy friends, family, and each of my blog readers, also have to be on that list. Even though many are \u201cvirtual friends,\u201d you couldn\u2019t be anymore true if you were standing right here next to me. You keep my eyes open and focused on things outside of my world. You keep me on my toes.\nIt is important to remember, daily, that, while our own world may not perfect, we each have something in our world that others don\u2019t have. There are so many that have nothing, or very little at all. Be thankful for what you have and remember that you have far more than many, many people.\nI guess that will do it for my Thanksgiving post this year. I am off to join everyone else upstairs and have a second cup of coffee and some much needed water! For now, I hope you enjoy your day, whether it is officially a Thanksgiving Day or not, remember to be thankful even for the smallest of things!\nPosted in #weekendcoffeeshare, life, tagged #weekendcoffeeshare, celebrations, Easter, family, frustrations, holidays on March 27, 2016| 7 Comments \u00bb\nIf we were having coffee, I\u2019m afraid you would have to listen to me vent. I\u2019ll try to be short.\nToday is Easter Sunday. I grew up Catholic so it\u2019s a big deal for me. Or at least it used to be. Now I just try to keep it alive by observing it\u2026by not letting the day go by unnoticed. Usually that means an egg hunt for the boys, a lunch or dinner out, and maybe the park. Well, the boys\u2019 dad was also raised Christian but has decided he doesn\u2019t want anything religious in his life (of course, Christmas is different because it means gifts for him). He has gone along with things for the past six years. Now, he is very reluctant but he hasn\u2019t said anything\u2026he\u2019s just been rude (to me) and has put up a bunch of obstacles. It\u2019s almost 7:30 PM and we haven\u2019t had our egg hunt or baskets yet. Chris is brooding because he wanted dim sum for lunch but the restaurant was crowded, over an hour wait, so we left. But he wanted dim sum and has made the day unbearable for us all because he didn\u2019t get it.\nNow don\u2019t get me wrong, I would not force a holiday on anyone if they said they preferred to not observe it. That\u2019s fine. But say something! Don\u2019t just go along with everything then change the rules in the middle of the game! That\u2019s confusing for all of us, especially the boys.\nThere\u2019s more but this is enough. For now.\nI\u2019m currently reading and greatly enjoying The Secret Life of Charlotte Dodd (at least I think that\u2019s the name of it) by Holly Kerr. Review to follow this week. That\u2019s about it. No movies or shows. How about you? Have you had the problem/experience of one person in a family not wanting to observe a holiday? How have you dealt with it? Are you reading anything yu can recommend?\nCheck out Part Time Monster for a link to more coffee share posts!\nPosted in random, tagged Christmas, depression, holidays, limbo, nablopomo, nablopomo 2014, the blues, winter on November 30, 2014| Leave a Comment \u00bb\nWe\u2019re in the middle of what I call \u201cthe lull\u201d\u2026the time between Thanksgiving being over and the Christmas season getting a hold of me. Usually it\u2019s only a day or two. This year, I\u2019m not in the holiday spirit yet. I haven\u2019t bought any gifts yet. Usually I\u2019m all done by now. I\u2019m more absorbed by the getting there (we\u2019ll all be going up to Seattle for the holiday) and getting everyone situated and happy. I tend to fret over not causing too much work or trouble for others and not letting any of the \u201ckids\u201d make waves for anyone. I want people to be happy and to have the time go by so smoothly that we all say \u201clet\u2019s do it again soon\u201d when it\u2019s all over.\nThe only problem with this lull is that if I don\u2019t get moving and get into the spirit, I run the risk of becoming depressed and I don\u2019t want to go there. That won\u2019t be fun for anyone. So I wait. I\u2019ve tried putting on some Christmas carols and plugging in the Christmas Santa lights in the window and letting my grandson plug in the tiny twinkling lights in the dining room (although he likes to have them on all the time, not just Christmas, I don\u2019t usually let him do it too often). So far no luck. I guess I\u2019ll give myself a couple of days to focus on the holidays and then get a move on!\nHopefully the lull will be over in just a few more posts.\nModifying Holidays\nPosted in family, memoir, tagged family, holidays, modifying traditions, Thanksgiving, traditions on November 26, 2008| 4 Comments \u00bb\nThis year Thanksgiving will be very different. Usually, the three kids and I are all together. I don\u2019t think we\u2019ve missed any years of being together until now. My son will be with his girlfriend and her family in the SF bay area (700 miles from me) and my daughter will be with her boyfriend and his family also in the SF bay area. My older daughter and I will be in our new homes in the Portland area. I was supposed to cook for the two of us and for my daughter\u2019s friends but at the last minute she decided to come and get everything from me and take it to her apartment where she and her friend will do all the cooking. I just have to show up. Well, I am making an apple pie and candied yams at home then taking them to her apartment across town. I\u2019m not sure which I would rather do, all the cooking or driving across town.\nWhen she and her friend were here to pick up all the food so they could fix it tomorrow, I was thinking about how our traditions have changed to accommodate our changing family over the years. When I was growing up, we just had turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, yams, rolls, and pumpkin pie. When I married my husband\u2019s family had all the same things but added green beans, peas, olives, a second version of candied yams, coleslaw, corn, apple pie, and sometimes mince meat pie. When I divorced and the kids became pickier, we added macaroni and cheese to the mix. When my daughter was here, she kept pulling out more and more stuff from the pantry. I asked who was going to eat it and she said, \u201cBut we always have it.\u201d True, but we normally have a couple of other people. So we cut a few things that that the three and possibly four of us won\u2019t eat tomorrow. Still, we will have an awful lot of food.\nThis year we won\u2019t have to fix a tofurkey (yes, you read that right; it\u2019s a tofu turkey). My younger daughter is vegetarian so we usually have turkey and tofurkey. We usually have ham, too because my older daughter loves ham. We\u2019re doing without this year. We\u2019ll save it for Christmas dinner. And this year there aren\u2019t any minors to drink the six bottles of Martinelli\u2019s that I bought, forgetting we didn\u2019t really need all that. I\u2019m set for the next three Christmases and by then my youngest will be 21 and will drink wine with us.\nI guess I\u2019m feeling a bit down. I\u2019m missing the two that won\u2019t be with us. I think I\u2019ll miss them even more tomorrow. I\u2019m starting not to like being so far away from them. At least if the economy weren\u2019t so bad, there\u2019d be more money and they could fly up here for the holiday but not this year.\nWho and what are YOU missing this holiday?\nAccidental Tradition\nPosted in Christmas decorations, tagged Christmas, family, holidays, tradition on December 4, 2007| 5 Comments \u00bb\nWhen my kids were little, we used to drive around looking at Christmas decorations. We lived in Glendale in southern California, near Pasadena. Before the kids were born, my husband and I would drive around looking at the decorations and taking his niece or other friends and relatives with us. Our regular route included the Balian mansion (the Balian family owns a creamery and a well known local brand of ice cream), Christmas Tree Lane, and points in between. We went every single year. When the kids were born, we continued the same route, not missing a year until we moved away four Christmases ago. (more\u2026)",

        "raw_content": "Cain And Abel Lesson\n\u201cBy faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained the testimony that he was righteous\u2026\u201d Hebrews 11:4a\nYour kids will see the effects of sin, death and suffering, playing out in the world through the danger of allowing anger to lead them into sin. They will also learn that God alone sets the rules for how we can come before His presence.\nThe context of this chapter suggests that God had explained to Adam and his family how to enter His presence with proper sacrifice. God Himself made the first animal sacrifice in the Garden of Eden, setting the example for Adam\u2019s family of what was required; the life of an innocent animal.\n\u201cAdam and Eve had a son. Then Eve said, \u201cI\u2019ll name him Cain because I got him with the help of the Lord.\u201d Later she had another son and named him Abel.\u201d Genesis 4:1-2a\nAdam and Eve had children. Now it is possible that they had more children, but this narrative focuses on their two firstborn sons.\nThey named their firstborn Cain, meaning \u201cpossession\u201d, because she got him with the help of the Lord.\nChildren are blessings. They are given to us by God. And as we saw in the previous lesson, we are all made by God in His image and likeness.\nThey called their second son Abel, meaning \u201cweakness or grief\u201d. This was a reminder of the misery that she had brought her children into.\n\u201cAbel became a sheep farmer, but Cain farmed the land. One day, Cain gave part of his harvest to the Lord, and Abel also gave an offering to the Lord. He killed the first-born lamb from one of his sheep and gave the Lord the best parts of it. The Lord was pleased with Abel and his offering, but not with Cain and his offering.\u201d Genesis 4:2b-5a\nBoth sons had responsibilities. Abel became a sheepherder. Cain was a farmer; the two oldest professions.\nOne day both men brought an offering to God. Cain brought what he had grown, \u201can offering\u2026 of the fruit of the ground.\u201d At first glance, this seems like a legitimate act of worship on Cain\u2019s part. It would seem only natural for Cain to bring an offering of the fruit of the ground, but as we will see Cain evidently knew better.\nThere was a great distinction between Cain and Abel\u2019s sacrifices.\nCain did not bring the sacrifice that the Lord required. He brought the sacrifice that he felt was adequate. He wanted to have his own way. Cain knew what God wanted, but he ignored God\u2019s command and brought what he wanted instead. He was about to learn that he didn\u2019t get to set the rules.\nAbel on the other hand was obedient and generous.\nHe brought the sacrifice that was required by God, a sheep from his flock (Hebrews 9:22), but not just any sheep. Abel brought the first-born lamb from his flock. He prepared it and gave the best parts to the Lord. This suggests an attitude of generosity on Abel\u2019s part.\nAbel also had a correct attitude. Hebrews 11 tells us that Abel brought his offering in faith. Because of his faith Abel was accounted as righteous by God (Hebrews 11:4-8).\nBecause of this God accepted Abel\u2019s offering, but He rejected Cain\u2019s offering.\nGod\u2019s acceptance of Abel was based on his offering, not on anything that he had said or done. God\u2019s rejection of Cain was also based on his offering, not on some preference for one brother over the other.\n\u201cThis made Cain so angry that he could not hide his feelings.\u201d Genesis 4:5b\nCain became angry that God had rejected his offering. He couldn\u2019t believe that God had accepted his brothers offering and not his own.\nHe was not just angry, he was furious. The verse says that he could not hide his anger, \u201che could not hide his feelings.\u201d It was clearly visible on his face.\n\u201cThen the Lord said to Cain, \u201cWhy are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen? If you do well, will not your countenance be lifted up? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door; and its desire is for you, but you must master it.\u201d Genesis 4:6-7\nGod lovingly exhorts Cain. He called his attention to the underlying problem in his attitude, his stubbornness. Cain wanted to decide for himself what offering was acceptable.\nGod made it clear that his offering would have been accepted if Cain would have been obedient, \u201cIf you do well, will not your countenance be lifted up?\u201d\nGod goes from exhorting Cain to warning Him. He warned Cain about the destructive power of anger. He needed to master his emotions (Ephesians 4:26).\n\u201cCain said to his brother Abel, \u201cLet\u2019s go for a walk.\u201d And when they were out in a field, Cain killed him.\u201d Genesis 4:8\nCain completely ignored Gods warning. He gave into his anger and into sin.\nCain convinced His brother to go with Him on a walk to the fields, the whole time knowing his evil intentions. There in the fields he murdered his brother. He literally slayed his brother. Cain had no regard for the life of his brother.\nCain killed his brother because he hated Abel (1 John 3:12). Abel\u2019s righteous life only helped to show the depravity and rebellion in Cain\u2019s life.\nBefore Cain murdered Abel no human had ever died or been killed, but Cain knew how animals were killed for sacrifice. He extinguished Abel\u2019s life in the same way.\n\u201cThen the Lord said to Cain, \u201cWhere is Abel your brother?\u201d And he said, \u201cI do not know. Am I my brother\u2019s keeper?\u201d Genesis 4:9\n\u201cWhere is Abel your brother?\u201d God knew the answer to this question. He asked Cain because He wanted to give him the opportunity to confess his sin and start to do right after doing wrong.\nBut does Cain repent of his sins, no.\nHis famous response is filled with audacity and rebellion. He was being a little smart mouth. Even making an impertinent reference to his brother\u2019s profession.\nIn his response to God, Cain revealed whom he truly served.\n\u201cThen the Lord said: Why have you done this terrible thing? You killed your own brother, and his blood flowed onto the ground. Now his blood is calling out for me to punish you. And so, I\u2019ll put you under a curse. Because you killed Abel and made his blood run out on the ground, you will never be able to farm the land again. If you try to farm the land, it won\u2019t produce anything for you. From now on, you\u2019ll be without a home, and you\u2019ll spend the rest of your life wandering from place to place.\u201d Genesis 4:10-12\nCain was foolish in believing that he could hide his sin from God. As we have seen before God knows everything and He sees everything. In this case He had seen Cain murder his brother.\nThe blood of Abel spoke, metaphorically of course, and it spoke of judgment. The blood of Jesus also speaks, but of better things, of grace and of sin having been forgiven (Hebrews 12:24).\nJust like his parents had been punished for their disobedience, he would now be punished for his sin.\nAsk your kids what was Adam\u2019s punishment. The ground would be cursed because of him. He would have to labor to feed himself and his family.\nThe curse placed on Cain would make it impossible for him to farm again. Even if he tried nothing would grow. He would also have to wander all the days of his life. He would never have a home.\n\u201cThis punishment is too hard!\u201d Cain said. \u201cYou\u2019re making me leave my home and live far from you. I will have to wander about without a home, and just anyone could kill me.\u201d Genesis 4:13-14\nCain never sought forgiveness for his sin.\nHe was not sorry that he had killed his brother. Instead he whines over the punishment that God placed over him.\nCain was worried about someone taking revenge for Abel\u2019s murder.\n\u201cNo!\u201d the Lord answered. \u201cAnyone who kills you will be punished seven times worse than I am punishing you.\u201d So the Lord put a mark on Cain to warn everyone not to kill him. But Cain had to go far from the Lord and live in the Land of Wandering, which is east of Eden.\u201d Genesis 4:15-16\nEven though God had just cursed Cain, He still had mercy on him. God placed on Cain a mark of protection. What the mark was or where it was on his body we don\u2019t know. This mark would act both as a sign of God\u2019s protection and a reminder of his lifelong shame and guilt.\nCain ultimately had to leave the presence of God. He was forced to move far away from the Garden of Eden. .\n\u201cAdam and his wife had another son. They named him Seth, because they said, \u201cGod has given us a son to take the place of Abel, who was killed by his brother Cain.\u201d Genesis 4:25\nAsk your kids what was promised to Eve in the garden. What was prophesied?\nAbel is dead and Cain has been banished. How would God keep His promise? Does God keep His promises? God always keeps His promises!\nGod gave Adam and Eve another son. They called him Seth, meaning \u201cappointed\u201d. He replaced Abel and was the one to whom the promise of a deliverer from the seed of the woman would be passed (Genesis 3:15).\nAs we\u2019ve already stated, the difference between Cain and Abel was not in their personalities or talents but in the sacrifice which each brought.\nAble found favor in God\u2019s eyes for the simple reason that his sacrifice was acceptable to God. He brought a suitable offering for his sin, and God accepted that offering.\nBy his faith-filled obedience Abel became an example for us today; we must be like him, acting in faith that God\u2019s final sacrifice shall indeed save us from our sins.\nIn today\u2019s world, it is important that people understand this basic concept of the Gospel. There are not \u201cmany paths\u201d to God-there is only one way, and that is through the blood of Christ. There are no exceptions (John 14:6).\nWhat were the names of Adam and Eve\u2019s children?\nWhat were their jobs?\nWhose offering was accepted? Whose was rejected?\nWhy was Abel\u2019s offering accepted?\nWhat did God warn Cain about?\nDid Cain listen to God\u2019s warning? What did he do instead?\nDid Cain repent from his sins? What was he sorry about?\nHow did God punish Cain? How was He merciful with Cain?\nHow was God going to keep His promise to Eve?\nAre there many ways to get to God?\nWho is the only acceptable sacrifice?\nThis entry was posted in Curriculum and tagged Cain And Abel Lesson.\nThe Fall Of Man Lesson\n\u201cTherefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned.\u201d Romans 5:12\nWe will look at the narrative of when Adam and Eve sinned against God and the consequences of their sin. Your kids will also have an understanding of what sin is and how it affects them.\nThis lesson covers the bad news of the consequences of the fall. Take the opportunity at the end of the lesson to present the Gospel to your kids.\nThe Clear And Simple Command\nQuickly go over the command that God had given to Adam. Recall that this command was clear and easy to understand.\n\u201c16 The Lord God commanded the man, saying, \u201cFrom any tree of the garden you may eat freely; 17 but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die.\u201d Genesis 2:16-17\nAdam would have no excuse for disobeying God\u2019s command!\n\u201cNow the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, \u201cIndeed, has God said, \u2018You shall not eat from any tree of the garden\u2019?\u201d Genesis 3:1-2\nThe Bible presents us with man made in the image and likeness of God working in the Garden of Eden. And who happens to slither by, a serpent or snake,\nThis wasn\u2019t any simple serpent, this was the devil himself in the form of a snake. (Revelation 12:9; 2 Corinthians 11:3)\nThe Bible describes the serpent as more crafty than any beast of the field, meaning cunning or deceitful.\nAnd who does he talk to? He talks to Eve. Although at this point she was sinless, she was still temptable.\nHe asks her \u201cindeed, has God said, you shall not eat from any tree of the garden?\u201d Ask your kids if this is what God truly said.\nThe devil was twisting God\u2019s words. The very first thing that the devil does in his temptation of Eve was to question the word of God. He wanted Eve to doubt God\u2019s word.\nThe devil is not a truthful person. The Bible describes him as the father of lies. (John 8:44) He cannot be trusted.\nThe woman said to the serpent, \u201cFrom the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat; but from the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, \u2018You shall not eat from it or touch it, or you will die.\u2019\u201d Genesis 3:3\n\u201cThe woman said.\u201d Here we see the first problem. Eve continued her conversation with the devil even though she knew he was wrong and was twisting God\u2019s words.\nShe answered the devil, but her answer was differed to what God actually said in three ways.\nFirst, she misquotes God. \u2018From the fruit of the trees of the garden, we may eat\u2026\u201d God had said that they could FREELY eat of every tree. She left out God\u2019s generosity.\nSecondly, she added to what God had said. \u201cYou shall not eat from it or touch it\u2026\u201d God never forbid them from touching the fruit.\nThirdly, she left out the urgency in Gods warning. \u201c\u2026or you will die.\u201d God had said that they would SURELY die.\nWhen we ignore the fact that there are consequences to our actions we can get ourselves into a lot of trouble.\n\u201cThe serpent said to the woman, \u201cYou surely will not die! For God knows that in the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.\u201d When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took from its fruit and ate; and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate.\u201d Genesis 3:4-6\n\u201cYou surely will not die!\u201d First, the devil twisted God\u2019s words. Now he is directly calling God a liar. He tells Eve that they will not die if they eat the fruit.\n\u201cIn the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.\u201d Adam and Eve already knew the good. They were sinless and were in fellowship with God. The sad thing is that because of her desire to be like God her eyes would be open, but they would be open to the evil. She and Adam would come to understand evil by looking at their own fallen nature.\n\u201cWhen the woman saw\u2026\u201d When the devil openly calls God a liar what does Eve do? Does she walk away saying that God is good and does not lie? No, she starts justifying the temptation. She starts rationalizing the temptation to disobey God\u2019s command.\nShe went through every step in justifying the temptation (1 John 2:16).\nThe Lust Of The Flesh\u2013 she saw that it was good for food.\nThe Lust Of The Eyes\u2013 she saw that it was a delight to the eyes.\nThe Pride Of Life\u2013 she saw that the tree was desirable to make one wise.\nEve, in the end, was deceived into eating the forbidden fruit. (2 Corinthians 11:3) But she ate the fruit out of her own free will and so did Adam.\n\u201cShe took from its fruit and ate, and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate.\u201d Neither Eve nor Adam was forced to eat it. They were both guilty of their own disobedience, but as we will see neither one of them will take responsibility for their actions.\n\u201cThen the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loin coverings.\u201d Genesis 3:7\nTheir eyes were open and they could see their sin. Adam and Eve did gain knowledge from their sin, but it turned out to be knowledge of evil. shame and death.\n\u201cThey knew that they were naked.\u201d Adam and Eve were now filled with shame as they realized that they were naked. Before they were not ashamed, they had nothing to be ashamed about. (Genesis 2:25) Once they ate from the fruit their conscience instantly attacked them.\n\u201cThey sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loin coverings.\u201d Now they made clothes for themselves out of fig leaves. Their plan was not well thought out because fig leaves are prickly and are not an ideal material to make clothes out of. But they were not thinking about this in their rush to cover themselves.\nThey were not only covering their nakedness, but they were attempting to cover their shame. And as we read in the Bible, nothing good comes out of trying to hide our sin. The Bible tells us that we need to confess our sin, not hide it. (2 Samuel 12:13; Psalm 32:5; Proverbs 28:13)\nAnd even if we try to hide it, it is no use, because God sees everything. Nothing is hidden from Him.\n\u201cThey heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.\u201d Genesis 3:8\n\u201cThey heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden.\u201d In the middle of covering their shame, they heard God coming.\n\u201cThe man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord.\u201d Adam and Eve tried to hide themselves from God amongst the trees. This is foolish because there is nowhere that we can go to get away from God. Physically we can\u2019t hide from God (Jeremiah 23:24; Psalm 139:7-12). We can\u2019t even hide our sin from His knowledge (Jeremiah 16:17; Hebrews 4:13).\nGod is everywhere and God sees everything. God had already known that Adam and Eve would disobey Him.\nBy hiding themselves from God, they clearly showed that the special fellowship with God that they had before the fall was now gone. Their relationship with God was now broken. This is precisely what our sin does between us and God as well.\nThen the Lord God called to the man, and said to him, \u201cWhere are you?\u201d He said, \u201cI heard the sound of You in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid myself.\u201d And He said, \u201cWho told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?\u201d The man said, \u201cThe woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me from the tree, and I ate.\u201d Then the Lord God said to the woman, \u201cWhat is this you have done?\u201d And the woman said, \u201cThe serpent deceived me, and I ate.\u201d Genesis 3:9-13\n\u201cWhere are you?\u201c- God knew where they were. He is starting to guide them into confessing their sin.\n\u201cI was afraid because I was naked; so I hid myself.\u201d In reality, they were afraid because they knew that they had done wrong and disobeyed God. Adam was focusing on the effect, not on the problem.\n\u201cHave you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?\u201d God asks them if they had eaten from the tree from which He commanded them not to eat. Did God truly not know? As we have already seen God knows everything and sees everything. God already knew that they had sinned.\nGod is presenting Adam and Eve with an opportunity to confess and repent of their sins. But as we see in these verses neither one of them will repent. Neither one of them wants to take responsibility.\nInstead of taking responsibility for their own sin, they each blame someone else.\n\u201cThe woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me from the tree, and I ate.\u201d Who does Adam blame? He blames Eve, but not just Eve. He ultimately blames God as well. He said, \u201cthe woman whom YOU gave me.\u201d Adam had the audacity of blaming God for his sin.\n\u201cThe serpent deceived me, and I ate.\u201d Who does Eve blame? She blamed the serpent. Now it is true that the serpent deceived her, but she still had no excuse. She ate the fruit of her own free will, knowing full well that she was disobeying God.\nAsk your kids if either Adam or Eve had a legitimate excuse. Neither Adam or Eve had an excuse. They each sinned and were each responsible for their own actions.\n\u201cThe Lord God said to the serpent, \u201cBecause you have done this, Cursed are you more than all cattle, And more than every beast of the field; On your belly you will go, And dust you will eat All the days of your life; And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her seed; He shall bruise you on the head, And you shall bruise him on the heel.\u201d Genesis 3:14-15\nHere we find the consequences of the serpent\u2019s involvement in the fall of man.\nFirst God punishes the instrument that the devil used, the physical serpent.\nGod curses the serpent and punishes it by forcing it to crawl on his belly all the days of his life. This tells us that snakes might have had legs before the fall. How many and where they were located we will never know.\n\u201c\u2026dust you will eat All the days of your life\u2026\u201d This would be a sign of degradation and humility.\n\u201c\u2026I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed\u2026.\u201d There is a natural aversion between mankind and serpents. They are avoided and feared.\nThe important thing to keep in mind is that these were the punishments for helping to cause the fall of man.\nSecond God punishes the spiritual serpent, the devil himself.\n\u201cHe shall bruise you on the head, And you shall bruise him on the heel.\u201d This is the first prophecy concerning Christ in the Bible. God is promising to send the Savior. The devil will bite His heel and he did so. Christ was brutally tortured and nailed to the cross. But Christ would bruise the devils head. Christ would physically die, but He would come back to life and in this way, He would destroy the work that the devil accomplished in the Garden of Eden (1 John 3:8).\n\u201cTo the woman He said, \u201cI will greatly multiply Your pain in childbirth, In pain you will bring forth children; Yet your desire will be for your husband, And he will rule over you.\u201d Genesis 3:16\nGod was not only going to punish the serpent. He was also going to punish Adam and Eve. Here we find the consequences for Eve\u2019s disobedience.\n\u201cI will greatly multiply Your pain in childbirth, In pain you will bring forth children.\u201d First, her pains would be increased not only in giving birth but in raising children.God\u2019s original plan for childbirth and child rearing had been free of pain and sorrow. Now mothers would struggle through pain, not only in giving birth, but also suffer heartache in the raising of their children.\n\u201cYet your desire will be for your husband, And he will rule over you.\u201d Secondly, Eve would struggle against the established roles set by God for husbands and wives. God had ordained from the time of creation that man and woman should live together in harmony and cooperation, each perfectly content and satisfied with his role or her role. But now, sin had corrupted that relationship, and the women would strive to take control. Before the fall Eve gladly submitted herself to her husband, but now, their would be strife.\n\u201cThen to Adam He said, \u201cBecause you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, saying, \u2018You shall not eat from it\u2019; Cursed is the ground because of you; In toil you will eat of it All the days of your life. \u201cBoth thorns and thistles it shall grow for you; And you will eat the plants of the field; By the sweat of your face You will eat bread, Till you return to the ground, Because from it you were taken; For you are dust, And to dust you shall return.\u201d\nHere we find the consequences for Adams sin.\n\u201cBecause you have listened to the voice of your wife.\u201d Both Adam and Eve turned their backs to God and disobeyed His commandment. Eve listened to the voice of the serpent and Adam to the voice of his wife.\n\u201cCursed is the ground because of you\u2026 both thorns and thistles it shall grow for you.\u201d For his disobedience, the ground would be cursed. Thorns and thistles would grow. Every kind of plague and infestation appeared. Adam\u2019s sin had an effect on all of creation.\n\u201cIn toil you will eat of it All the days of your life\u2026 by the sweat of your face You will eat bread,\u201d Adam would also have to work the ground in order to feed himself and his family. Not only would he have to work, but it would be hard work. Before the fall Adam worked in the garden, but it was enjoyable. Now it would be tedious and laborious.\n\u201cTill you return to the ground, Because from it you were taken; For you are dust, And to dust you shall return.\u201d Finally, we have the consequence that affects all humans, men, and women. They would no longer be immortal and would one day die. They would return to the dust of the ground from which they were made.\nWhen Adam and Eve ate the fruit God\u2019s warning took effect. God warned them that they would surely die. At the moment they ate the fruit they did not die physically, eventually, they would, but they instantly died spiritually. No longer would they have perfect fellowship with God on earth and now they would need a Savior.\n\u201cNow the man called his wife\u2019s name Eve, because she was the mother of all the living. The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and clothed them.\u201d Genesis 3:20-21\n\u201cThe man called his wife\u2019s name Eve.\u201d Up to this point Even had no name. Adam names his wife Eve, meaning life because she would be the mother of all the human race.\n\u201cThe Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and clothed them.\u201d In order for Adam and Eve to be clothed, a sacrifice had to be made. An animal had to die. (Hebrews 9:22) Adam and Eve were clothed in a garment that was purchased with the life of another. A reminder to them of their need of a Savior who would one day destroy the work that the devil accomplished in the garden.\n\u201cSo He drove the man out; and at the east of the garden of Eden He stationed the cherubim and the flaming sword which turned every direction to guard the way to the tree of life.\u201d Genesis 3:24\nBefore the fall Adam and Eve had intimate fellowship with God. He would spend time with them in the beautiful paradise that He had made for them. Now God was throwing them out. God is holy and does not take pleasure in sin and cannot have fellowship with it.\nTo prevent them from entering the garden He placed a flaming sword and a cherubim to guard access to the Garden of Eden.\nThey would no longer be allowed to enter into the paradise that God lovingly prepared for them. Wanting to have it all they sinned and ended up losing everything.\nAs we saw in Genesis 3, Adam and Eve sinned against God.\nAsk your kids what sin is.\nThe Bible itself gives us a clear definition of what sin is. Sin is breaking Gods law.\n\u201cEveryone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.\u201d 1 John 3:4\nSin is incompatible with God and His law. Sin is being in open rebellion and disobedience against Him.It is a disregard for the law of God, which is a disregard for God Himself. It is living as if God\u2019s law didn\u2019t exist or as if we won\u2019t have to one day give an account for our actions.\nHow did Adam and Eve sin against God? God had given them a very clear and easy to understand commandment, but they both chose to openly rebel against Him and disobey His commandment. They both willfully chose to eat the fruit.\nThis first sin introduced evil, suffering and death to the world. This contaminated all human beings because we are all descendants of Adam.\n\u201cAdam sinned, and that sin brought death into the world. Now everyone has sinned, and so everyone must die.\u201dRomans 5:12\n\u201cI have sinned and done wrong since the day I was born.\u201d Psalm 51:5\nAs a result, every person who has ever lived with the exception of Jesus Christ, is a sinner by nature and by choice.\n\u201cAll of us have sinned and fallen short of God\u2019s glory.\u201d Romans 3:23\nThere are many consequences of human sin, but we\u2019ll talk about two: Physical Death and Spiritual Death\nAdam and Eve did not instantly physically die, but the process of decay started immediately.\nSome people think that because things like illness, suffering, and death exist, this must mean that there is no God. But the Bible has a very good explanation for the origin of death. Before Adam sinned there was no death. Death is a result of the sin of man. Everyone who has ever lived has sinned and is worthy of death.\nUnlike physical death, the moment Adam and Eve sinned, they immediately died spiritually. Their relationship with God was broken. Their sin separated them from Him.\nSpiritual death is the death of eternal punishment in hell that separates us from God for all eternity. Instead of spending eternity in heaven we deserve to be forever separated from God in hell.\n\u201cBut your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, And your sins have hidden His face from you so that He does not hear.\u201d Isaiah 59:2\n\u201cThese will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power\u201d 2 Thessalonians 1:9\nThe Hope For Man\nTake this opportunity to end the lesson with the Gospel presentation.\nRemind them that after passing judgment God promised to send the Savior. God kept His promise through the death of His Son.\nWhat animal came to talk to Eve? Who was in possession of it?\nWhat did the snake first say to Eve? What was he doing?\nWhat was Eve\u2019s response/her answer? What did she add and leave out?\nWhat was the devils response to what Eve said? What was he calling God?\nDid Eve end the conversation with the devil? What did she start to do with the sin?\nWhen both Adam and Eve ate from the apple what happened to them?\nWhat did Adam and Eve do when they heard God coming? Was it a smart thing to do?\nWho did Adam blame for his sin? Who did Eve blame?\nWhat was the consequence to the physical snake?\nWhat was the consequence to the spiritual snake, the devil?\nWhat was the consequences of Eve\u2019s sin?\nWhat was the consequences of Adam\u2019s sin?\nWhat are the affects of sin?\nDId GOd keep His promise of sending a Savior?\nThis entry was posted in Bible Crafts, Curriculum and tagged Fall Of Man Lesson.\nAdam And Eve Lesson\nYour kids will learn who and how Adam and Eve were created. They will also understand that God created us as well.\nPreviously every time God created something new He spoke it into existence; \u201cthen God said\u201d. Here the Bible shows us that God formed man.\nGod took His time when He made Adam. The language in this verse expresses an intimate level of involvement on God\u2019s part. He formed Him in the same way that a potter forms his creation out of clay. This is completely different than everything God had previously made, which He had simply spoken into existence.\nAnd what did God use to make the man? He used the dust from the ground.\nWhen the Bible talks about dust it means something of low value. God wisely mentions what He used to make us so that we would not exalt ourselves.\nThis is the only thing that we have in common with the rest of creation. We were created by God from the same material. God did not evolve man from a lower form of life, such as an animal.\nAdam was a physical figure made of dust, but he was given life by God. God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life. Not just physical life, since the animals have this as well, but also a spiritual life. Man is made of two parts: a physical- the boday and an immaterial- the soul/spirit.\nMake this an emphasize to your kids. Unlike animals, we also have a spirit/soul.\nGod gave Adam his life just like God gives us life.\n\u201cThe Lord God planted a garden toward the east, in Eden; and there He placed the man whom He had formed. Out of the ground the Lord God caused to grow every tree that is pleasing to the sight and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.\u201d Genesis 2:8-9\nGod planted a garden towards the east in a region named Eden. That is why the garden is called the Garden of Eden. The Garden of Eden was to be a paradise for the man where he could be in fellowship with God and under Gods watch.\nThe creation of the garden was a demonstration of God\u2019s loving-kindness towards man, for the world was already a suitable paradise for Adam and Eve. God went above and beyond, creating a special area for His most loved creation. The Garden of Eden was truly a beautiful place.\n\u201cThe Lord God caused to grow every tree that is pleasing to the sight and good for food.\u201d God placed every tree that is edible and beautiful to look at throughout the garden.\nIn the middle of the garden, God placed the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. They will come into play in the next chapter.\nThe tree of the knowledge of good and evil did not have any magical properties capable of giving Adam and Even all-encompassing knowledge if eaten. By eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil they would gain a deadly and irreversible knowledge of evil by experiencing evil itself through their disobedience.\n\u201cNow a river flowed out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it divided and became four rivers. The name of the first is Pishon; it flows around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. The gold of that land is good; the bdellium and the onyx stone are there. The name of the second river is Gihon; it flows around the whole land of Cush. 14 The name of the third river is Tigris; it flows east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.\u201d Genesis 2:10-14\nThese verses give us an idea of where the garden of Eden was located, somewhere near Mesopotamia. If you wish you can go over the verses with your kids. It can help to show them a map of the region.\nMany archaeologists and scholars have spent their entire life trying to find the Garden of Eden. They look for any trace that might remain, but our focus shouldn\u2019t be on finding it.\nWe no longer have a need for a temporary paradise here on earth. The Bible is clear. We need to have our eyes focused on the things above (Colossians 3:2; Matthew 6:33).\n\u201cThen the Lord God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate it and keep it. The Lord God commanded the man, saying, \u201cFrom any tree of the garden you may eat freely; but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die.\u201d Genesis 2:15-17\n\u201cThe Lord God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden.\u201d God put Adam into the most spectacular paradise the world has ever seen, but God put Adam there to work, to cultivate it and keep it. Many people have the false idea that Adam spent all of his days lying around eating and sleeping before the fall, but this wasn\u2019t the case.\nAdam would work the garden, but the work would not be hard. It would be enjoyable. Remember that the fall and its consequences had not yet taken place.\nThis time of work would also serve as a reminder to Adam that God is not only the Creator but also the Sustainer. Adam would work the land, but God is the one who makes it grow. (Hebrews 1:3)\nGod gave Adam a clear commandment. \u201cFrom any tree of the garden you may eat freely; but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat.\u201d Ask your kids to repeat it out loud.\nAdam could eat from every tree of the garden, when he wanted and however much he wanted, except from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. This was a very simple and clear commandment from God.\nAsk your kids if they understand the commandment.\nAdam clearly understood the commandment. He was not confused at all on any part of the commandment.\nGods commandment came with a warning if Adam disobeyed. \u201cFor in the day that you eat from it you will surely die.\u201d Ask your kids what the consequence would be if Adam disobeyed.\nGod didn\u2019t simply say that Adam would die if he disobeyed. God said that he would surely die. There is an urgency in God\u2019s warning. God is letting Adam know that He is not playing around. If Adam disobeyed, God is letting him know that he will surely, certainly, no games, I\u2019m not playing around, You Will Die!\nAsk your kids the following question: If Adam disobeys God does he have an excuse? The answer is no. Adam knew what would happen to him if he disobeyed God.\nIt is also important to note that Eve had not yet been created by God. This means that the responsibility for obeying this commandment was given to Adam alone. It would be his responsibility, as the spiritual head in his marriage, to teach this command to his wife. This is why God held Adam responsible when both Adam and Eve sinned. (Romans 5:12) This is not to say that Eve held no responsibility when she eventually disobeyed the command. We are all responsible for our own sin.\n\u201cThen the Lord God said, \u201cIt is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him.\u201d Out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name. The man gave names to all the cattle, and to the birds of the sky, and to every beast of the field, but for Adam there was not found a helper suitable for him.\u201d Genesis 2:18-20\n\u201cIt is not good for the man to be alone.\u201d Adam had no companion; he was incomplete. He had no suitable helper.\nGod never intended for man to be alone.\nThis verse shows us that none of the animals that existed were suitable helpers for Adam. Man and animals are not at an equal level.\nRemind your kids that God gave man authority over all of the animals. God gave Adam the job and privilege of naming all of the animals.\n\u201cSo the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place. The Lord God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man. \u201cThis is now bone of my bones, And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.\u201d For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.\u201d Genesis 2:21-24\nGod caused Adam to go to sleep. This way Adam would not feel any pain or discomfort when God \u201coperated\u201d on him.\nGod created Eve from one of Adam\u2019s ribs. God used Adam\u2019s own body to create Eve.\nIn verse 24 we see that marriage was established by God Himself.\nIt is important, considering the culture we live in, that we make sure that our kids understand the following three things:\nMarriage was created by God, not man.\nMarriage is sacred, it is not a joke and it is not to be taken lightly.\nIt is to be a monogamous union.\nIt cannot be altered by any man.\n\u201cBe joined to his wife.\u201d This phrase emphasizes a sense of permanence.\n\u201cOne flesh.\u201d This points to the wonderful result of the union between husband and wife and a fulfillment of the command to multiply and fill the earth.\nThis has always beenGod\u2019ss designed plan for marriage.\n\u201cAnd the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.\u201d Genesis 2:25\nAdam and Eve knew they were physically naked before the fall. Why were they not ashamed to be naked? Because they had not sinned; they were innocent. They had nothing to be ashamed of; nothing to hide.\nAsk your kids what we all feel when we sin.\nWe all feel, to some extent, shame. Why? Because we know we did wrong. Our conscience accuses us. (Romans 2:14-15)\nDid God Create Us?\nGod created Adam and Eve. Did He create us?\nThe answer is yes. God created each one of us.\n\u201cBefore I formed you in the womb I knew you\u2026\u201d Jeremiah 1:5a\n\u201c13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother\u2019s womb. 14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. 15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. 16 Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.\u201d Psalm 139:13-16\nGod didn\u2019t create us in an assembly line.\nEach of us is unique, made differently and in the exact way in which God wanted us to physically be. This is important for our kids to understand.\nWe live in a culture were each and every day there is more emphasis on physical \u201cbeauty\u201d. If we have a biblical perspective we will realize that God made us physically the way we are and nothing that God does is wrong.\nLet your kids know that instead of worrying about how tall they are or how fast they are, that they should instead be grateful to God for being \u201cfearfully and wonderfully made.\u201d\nHow did God create Adam?\nHow was Eve created?\nWhat command did God give Adam and Eve?\nWhat would happen if they disobeyed?\nThe Perfect Homemade Playdough\nColoring And Activity Page\nThis entry was posted in Curriculum and tagged Adam And Eve Lesson.\nThe Days Of Creation Lesson\nPosted on February 8, 2016 Updated on November 30, 2017\nYour kids will learn who created everything and for what purpose.\n\u201cIf we want to understand creation, if we want to understand origins, if we want to understand how the universe came into existence and everything that is in it, we have to look at theology, not science. And the source of theology is the Word of God in which God speaks. The Bible is not theory, the Bible is fact. The Bible is reality. The Bible is the truth no matter what subject it addresses, but particularly with regard to origins since no one was here when God created. We have only His eyewitness account. And when the Bible speaks with regard to creation, or when it speaks with regard to origins, it speaks truth, it speaks factually.\u201d Pastor John MacArthur\nTeach the story of creation with conviction and do not be intimidated by the ideas and opinions of the world. Remember these are only fleeting thoughts. (1 John 2:17)\nIt is important that we establish a firm foundation of Biblical truth in the minds of our children and this begins with the story of Creation.\nThis verse is not only our memory verse, but it serves as a summary of creation itself.\nBreak down the verse, part by part so your kids can understand it.\nIn The Beginning\u2013 In the beginning of our time and space. Before creation, there existed nothing, but God.\nGod\u2013 God existed before the creation of our time and universe. He doesn\u2019t have a beginning or an end. He is eternal.\nCreated\u2013 God created or made everything out of nothing. He did this with the power of His words; \u201cThen God said\u2026\u201d He spoke everything into existence.\nThe Heavens And The Earth\u2013 Everything that we see. Everything that is in the universe.\nAsk your kids to say the Bible verse in their own words.\nExample: In the beginning of our time, God who is eternal, created everything that we see with the power of His words.\nThis will help them understand this crucial verse.\n\u201cThe earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters.\u201d Genesis 1:2\nThis verse describes the earth in a bleak way: formless, void and dark.\nThe earth was uninhabitable; incomplete. Things could not grow or live on it in the way that it was. But God was going to change that. He was going to prepare it.\nIn the second half of the verse, we are presented with the second person of the Trinity. You do not have to give your kids a crash course on the Trinity, but it would be nice to show them that all three persons of theTrinityy had a part in the story of creation. (Genesis 1:1; Genesis 1:2; Colossians 1:15-17)\n\u201cThen God said, \u201cLet there be light\u201d and there was light. God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light day, and the darkness He called night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.\u201d Genesis 1:3-5\nOn the first day of creation God separated the light from the darkness. He called the light day and the darkness night.\nAll He had to do was speak it and it came into existence. Remind your kids that He created everything by merely speaking them into existence. (Psalm 148:5)\nAsk your kids what would happen if we said \u201clet there be light\u201d in a dark room. Nothing would happen. But God is so powerful that His very words can create.\nOn the very first day of creation, God separated the light from the darkness. (2 Corinthians 4:6) God showed that He is sovereign over creation by naming the light and darkness.\nAnd what did God think about the light? God saw that the light was good. Everything that God does is good. And all of this happened on the first day of creation (One literal 24 hour day.)\n\u201cThen God said, \u201cLet there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.\u201d God made the expanse, and separated the waters which were below the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so. God called the expanse heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.\u201d Genesis 1:6-8\nThe earth was completely covered in water so on the second day of creation God separated the waters.\nThe expanse is the sky or atmosphere.\nThe waters which were below the expanse\u2013 This is the water that was stored within the earth. God would later release them during the great flood. (Genesis 7:11)\nThe waters which were above the expanse- This was more than likely a canopy of water around the earth that acted like a greenhouse.\nAnd it was so\u2026 Everything happened in the exact way that God wanted it to happen. Creation itself obeys God.\nAnd all of this happened on the second day of creation. (A second literal 24 hour day.)\n\u201cThen God said, \u201cLet the waters below the heavens be gathered into one place, and let the dry land appear\u201d; and it was so. God called the dry land earth, and the gathering of the waters He called seas; and God saw that it was good. Then God said, \u201cLet the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees on the earth bearing fruit after their kind with seed in them\u201d; and it was so. The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit with seed in them, after their kind; and God saw that it was good.\u201d Genesis 1:9-13\nThe planet is now ready to sustain life, so on Day 3 God calls life into existence.\nGod did two things on the third day of creation.\nFirst He caused the dry land to appear from the waters. \u201cLet the dry land appear\u2026\u201d THen He gathered the waters together. (Job 38:4-11)\nGod called the dry land earth and called the waters seas. Again, this demonstrates the sovereignty of the Lord.\nThe second thing that God created was all kinds of plants: trees, grasses, bushes.\nGod made them according to their kind. \u201cAfter their kind with seed in them\u2026\u201d Moses repeats this phrase repeatedly throughout the Creation account.\nAsk your kids what would happen if they planted an orange seed. Would an apple tree grow? No, God gave His creation order and purpose.\nThis verse alone contradicts the false teaching of evolution.\nThen God again saw that everything that He created was good. And all this happened on the third day of creation. (A third literal 24 hour day.)\n\u201cThen God said, \u201cLet there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years; and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth\u201d; and it was so. God made the two great lights, the greater light to govern the day, and the lesser light to govern the night; He made the stars also. God placed them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, and to govern the day and the night, and to separate the light from the darkness; and God saw that it was good. There was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.\u201d Genesis 1:14-19\nOn the fourth day of creation God created the sun, the moon and the stars. \u201cLet there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night\u2026\u201d The sun. moon and stars are not deities to be worshipped but were created by the one, true living God.\nHe created the sun to govern the day and he created the moon to govern the night. (At this point you could explain the important role that both the sun and the moon play in every day life.)\nGod gave these lights in the sky a purpose. \u201c\u2026let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years; and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth.\u201d God not only provided light for the earth, but He provided a way for us to keep time and mark the seasons.\nEverything that God made on each day of creation, He made complete and fully functioning. There is no need for evolution!\nFor the fourth time God saw that what He made was good and everything happened as He said. And all of this happened on the fourth day of creation. (A fourth literal 24 hour day.)\n\u201cThen God said, \u201cLet the waters teem with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the heavens.\u201d God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind; and God saw that it was good. God blessed them, saying, \u201cBe fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.\u201d There was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.\u201d Genesis 1:20-23\nOn the fifth day of creation God created the first living creatures. He filled the skies with all kinds of birds and the seas with all kinds of marine animals, including sea dwelling dinosaurs. (Job 40:15-41:1)\nGod waited until the fifth day to create the first living creatures because before this He was preparing the earth.\nGod not only saw that all these creatures swimming in the water and flying in the sky were good; he blessed them as well. He told them to multiply on the earth.\nMoses here repeats the key phrase \u201cafter their kind.\u201d Every fish and bird was made by God fully developed and would produce offspring like itself. Again, no need for evolution.\nAll of this happened on the fifth day of creation. (A fifth literal 24 hour day.)\n\u201cThen God said, \u201cLet the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind: cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth after their kind\u201d; and it was so. God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind; and God saw that it was good.\u201d Genesis 1:24-25\nOn the sixth day of creation God created every animal that walks, slithers or crawls on the earth.\nHe made them after their own kind. A repeat of this key phrase. If a chicken lays an egg, what do we expect to hatch, a baby chick.\nGod again saw that they were good.\n\u201cThen God said, \u201cLet Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.\u201d God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.\u201d Genesis 1:26-27\nOn the sixth day of creation God also made the first humans. One male and one female.\n\u201cLet us make\u2026 in Our image\u201c- clear proof of our Triune God. Every person of the Trinity played a part in creation.\nGod made us special unlike the other animals. God made both animals and humans, but we were made differently. We were made in the image and likeness of God.\nThis does not mean that we are God or little gods. It also doesn\u2019t mean that God looks like us. The Bible tells us that God is spirit, He doesn\u2019t have a physical body or physical features.\nThis means that we have some, not all of Gods characteristics or attributes. We can think and reason, show emotions and as this passage shows us we can demonstrate authority. God gave us authority over all of the animals. This shows that we are above the rest of creation. We are not animals.\n\u201cMale and female He created them\u201c- Both males and females are made in the image of God, share in the dominion of creation and have the same spiritual value before God. (Galatians 3:28) But we were designed physically different by God. God is the one who established human genders and so society does not have the right to change them.\n\u201cGod blessed them; and God said to them, \u201cBe fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth.\u201d Then God said, \u201cBehold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you; and to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the sky and to every thing that moves on the earth which has life, I have given every green plant for food\u201d; and it was so. God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.\u201d Genesis 1:28-31\nGod blessed the first humans. He commanded them to multiply and fill the now completed earth.\nThe earth was truly different then it had originally been. At first it was dark and void; uninhabitable. Now it was full of light and life. It had dry land covered with all kinds of plants. The seas and skies were full of wonderful creatures.\nGod gave all the best of His creation to us.\nGod looked at all of His creation and saw that it was very good. And all of this happened on the sixth day of creation.\n(A sixth literal 24 hour day.)\n\u201cThus the heavens and the earth were completed, and all their hosts. By the seventh day God completed His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made.\u201d Genesis 2:1-3\nOn the seventh day of creation the earth was complete and finished.\nGod rested on the seventh day, not because He was tired. God is all-powerful, He never gets tired. He rested because He was pleased and satisfied with His creation. He had made it exactly like He wanted it. Remember that God had looked and saw that everything that He had created was very good.\nIn resting on the seventh day, God was also modeling the pattern for man\u2019s work week.\nWhy Did God Create Everything?\nGod is the one who created everything out of nothing by merely speaking them into creation. The question then becomes why? Why did God make everything?\nGod did not create everything because He wanted to make us happy.\nGod did not create everything because He wanted to make all our dreams come true.\nGod did not create everything because we are so special that he needed a relationship with us.\nThese ideas make man the center of creation, but God is the center of creation. He is the Creator. The whole Bible is centered around God. He is the main character of the Bible and creation is no exception.\nGod created everything to bring Him glory and for His glory.\n\u201cFor by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities\u2014all things have been created through Him and for Him.\u201d Colossians 1:16\nGod created the material and spiritual universe for His pleasure and glory.\nGod is the source, the Sustainer and the rightful owner of everything that exists and for this He is worthy to be praised.\n\u201cWorthy are You, our Lord and our God, to receive glory and honor and power; for You created all things, and because of Your will they existed, and were created.\u201d Revelation 4:11\nGod is worthy of receiving all glory and praise because it is because of Him that all things exist.\nAsk your kids who created everything. Make sure they give the full answer: God created everything for His glory.\nGo over every day of creation and ask the kids to be as descriptive as possible.\nThis entry was posted in Curriculum and tagged Days Of Creation Lesson.\nGod\u2019s Promises Lesson\n\u201cGod is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent; Has He said, and will He not do it? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?\u201d Numbers 23:19\nGod is a faithful God. He always keeps and remembers His promises. We want our kids to understand this truth. God always keeps His promises He can be completely trusted.\nHow do you know if you can trust someone to keep their promise?\nThe character of the person making the promise lets you know whether you can trust them to keep their promise. If the person is a notorious liar then you know that you cannot trust him. If he is generally an honest person then you can trust him to keep his promise.\nIs God someone who can be trusted to keep His promises?\nIf we want to find out if God can be trusted to keep His promises, we can look at His character and His attributes.\nNot only is God exactly as He reveals Himself to be, but things are exactly as He says they are.\nGod only acts and speaks within the realm of the truth:\nHis knowledge is perfect and so He is never mistaken.\nHis character is holy and righteous; He cannot lie or distort the truth.\nTruth is defined by God\u2019s very nature. God not only speaks truth; He is truth.\nGod\u2019s words are utterly reliable and dependable.\nGod does not mislead people or lead them down the path of falsehood.\n\u201cMay it never be! Rather, let God be found true, though every man be found a liar.\u201d Romans 3:4\n\u201cGod is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent\u2026\u201d Numbers 23:19a\n\u201cAlso the Glory of Israel will not lie\u2026\u201d 1 Samuel 15:29a\nDo people always keep their promises? No, not always. Sometimes people cannot keep their promise, they choose to break their promise or they forget to keep their promise.\nDoes this happen to God?\nWould God Break A Promise Because Something Happens That He Didn\u2019t Know Was Going To Happen?\nExample: Your mom promises to take you to the zoo, but it starts to rain so she can no longer take you.\nThere are no surprises for God. Nothing happens without His say so.\n\u201cI am God, and there is none like me, declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done.\u201d Isaiah 46:9\n\u201cGreat is our Lord and mighty in power; His understanding has no limit.\u201d Psalm 147:5\nWould God Break A Promise Because He Changed His Mind?\nExample: Your brother tells you that he will let you borrow his bicycle, but he decides not to.\nGod does not change His mind. He is the same \u201cyesterday, today and tomorrow\u201d.\nWould God Break A Promise Because He Isn\u2019t Strong Enough To Keep It?\nExample: A friend tells you he\u2019ll help you climb a wall, but he\u2019s too weak to lift you up.\nGod is all-powerful. Nothing is to hard for Him to do.\n\u201cBehold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is anything too hard for me?\u201d Jeremiah 32:27\n\u201cAll the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing, But He does according to His will in the host of heaven And among the inhabitants of earth; And no one can ward off His hand Or say to Him, \u2018What have You done?\u201d Daniel 4:35\nWould God Break A Promise Because He Forgot?\nExample: A friend promises to call you back but he has so much work he forgets?\nGod never forgets His promises.\n\u201cCan a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion for the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands.\u201d Isaiah 49:1, 6, 15\n\u201cGod has said, \u2018Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.\u2019\u201d Hebrews 13:5\nWould God Break A Promise Because He Lied?\nExample: Your sister tells you that she will take you to the store if you clean her room, but she knows she will not take you.\nGod never lies.\n\u201cGod cannot tell lies! And so his promises and vows are two things that can never be changed. We have run to God for safety. Now his promises should greatly encourage us to take hold of the hope that is right in front of us.\u201d Hebrews 6:18\nGo over the following list of the attributes of God that show that He can keep His promises:\nGod is almighty (He is all-powerful)\nGod is sovereign (He has the right and wisdom, and power to do everything He pleases)\nGod is self sufficient (He doesn\u2019t need anything from anybody)\nGod is attentive (He knows what is happening and acts appropriately)\nGod is faithful (He always does what He says He is going to do)\nGod is omnipresent (God is everywhere all the time)\nGod is unchanging (God never changes)\nGod is omniscient (God knows everything)\nGod is righteous (He is right in everything He thinks and does)\nCan God be trusted to keep His promises?\nYes, God always keeps His promises.\nNothing prevents God from keeping His promises. He is all-powerful. He knows everything. He never forgets and He never lies. Since God always keeps His promises, He can be completely trusted.\nNot only that, God calls His children to reflect His character.\nHow does God character show us that He will always keep a promise?\nAttributes Poster- Make a giant poster illustrating and describing Gods attributes. His attributes help us to understand that God is more than capable of keeping His promises.\nThis entry was posted in Curriculum and tagged God's Promises Lessons.",

That is why I am being bold for change and working with others in the Diocese of Gloucester to make available a house that can be used for women when they come out of prison.\n\u201cI am working with a wonderful organisation, called The Nelson Trust, who are running a programme to ensure that women coming out of prison can be reunited with their children.

        "raw_content": "SingularDTV (SNGLS) to the moon, as Centrality coiN launches on SingularX!\nSingularDTV (SNGLS) is probably one of the most undervalued cryptos in the market. Its launch in 2016 was low key even though it sold out within a few minutes. SingularDTV aims to disrupt the entertainment industry by giving power back to content creators. This is powerful, but the most interesting news about this crypto right now is the launch of the Centrality token (CENNZ) on the Singularity decentralized exchange, SingularX. This is a big deal and is guaranteed to push SingularDTV (SNGLS) coin to the stratosphere in the next few weeks. In fact, this could be the catalyst that SingularDTV needed all along. Here\u2019s why.\nFirstly, the centrality ICO was oversubscribed by over $100 million, having received over $265 million, against a target of just $100 million. This is a sign that there is a strong investor demand for Centrality coin (CENNZ). In essence, even after the ICO, this interest is likely to continue as investors look to cash in on this popular coin. As such, by listing it on SingularX, the value of the SingularDTV platform has also automatically increased in the eyes of investors.\nThis will push up its demand, and the result will be a growth in its price. You can compare it to a company listed on the stock markets clinching a deal with an important client. That\u2019s usually good news to the share price, right? Well, that\u2019s what just happened to the SingularDTV (SNGLS) coin. Expect this coin to appreciate by 20-30% in coming few days.\nSecondly, the listing of a coin as popular as Centrality (CENNZ) on SingularX is likely to attract other ICO projects to the platform. That\u2019s because it will give project owners confidence in this platform, especially those with entertainment-related projects. This will serve to increase liquidity on the SingularX platform, and with that, will be an increase in the value of the SingularDTV (SNGLS) coin.\nThen there is the fact that Centrality (CENNZ) has a use case that is in line with that of SingularDTV. Essentially, SingularDTV is about giving content creators the power to tokenize their content and make money off it, without the interference of middlemen. This is easily complemented by Centrality (CENNZ), which is designed to allow merchants reward clients who bring-in referrals. On this basis, the two platforms reinforce each other\u2019s value, which is a plus to their price growth.\nEven from a technical analysis perspective, it is clear that the listing of Centrality coin (CENNZ) on SingularX is great news for the SingularDTV coin. After the announcement was made, the value of SingularDTV jumped from $0.10 to $0.13. That\u2019s a massive price gain within a few hours and is a pointer to the importance of this news. The charts are also pointing to a crypto that is gaining momentum. Even today\u2019s dip is indicative of profit taking, but the bullish momentum is still there.\nSingularDTV (SNGLS) is clearly a coin on the move, thanks to this news. Expect valuations of $0.30 and above in coming weeks if not days.\nTags: Centrality coinSingularDTV (SNGLS)\n3 Things You Should Know About The Verge (XVG)",

As an adult, I have lost friends over pet allergies. It made it difficult for my children to have pet and food allergies. There are non allergic people who don\u2019t get it or say \u201ccan\u2019t you just take a pill for it?\u201d\nMy daughter and I are allergic to carmine/cochineal, a dye made from crushed red bugs. It gets listed as a natural food coloring. I have had had anaphylactic reactions as an adult. I have to be so careful I am afraid to eat at someone else\u2019s house.\nI have had people get animals and not tell me until they see me coughing, sneezing and my face swelling. Them they believe me but by that time the friendship is over. One friends said she didn\u2019t think it was real. I miss weddings and funerals because I am severely allergic to stargazer lilies. It is like the world is a minefield. One\u2019s life becomes circumscribed and lonely.el\nCharlotte Nicolet December 6, 2018 at 6:03 pm\nElizabeth, I can so relate to your post as I have a condition called Celiac in which I cannot eat wheat, barley, semolina, and rye, and the older I get the less I am able to eat; now potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, and rice have been added to the list of foods that cause adverse reactions. People have accused me of following a fad, which is ridiculous as I had the allergy long before this so-called gluten-free fad came into existence. I too have lost so many friends over my allergies; I avoid restaurants, and eating anywhere but home \u2013 like on the movie RED, when Frank Moses (Bruce Willis) tells Sarah Ross (Mary-Louise Parker), \u201cIf you don\u2019t make it, you don\u2019t eat it\u201d (Bonaventura, 2013).\nShannon December 2, 2018 at 11:08 pm\nThank you for highlightening the social and emotional aspects of living with food allergies. Many unknowingly act as if there is an easy way to just avoid the allergen; however, as highlighted above, there are many steps often taken to ensure the food is safe and not accidentally exposed to an allergen. So many also live with anxiety (especially after experiencing or witnessing someone go into anaphylactic shock!) It is also not surprising for PTSD like symptoms to appear and/or turn into depression.\nAll that isn\u2019t without a lot of wonderful milestones that includes caregiver and personal confidence when learning to advocate and make it through the tougher waves of emotions when managing a life threatening condition! I feel like the emotional side of this condition doesn\u2019t always receive the attention it desires- than you so much for highlighting ways to support clients!\nDeeAnna Nagel December 17, 2018 at 9:03 am\nI was inspired to blog about scope of practice and nutritional advice following this very good article.\nAnd I also point out that people with food sensitivities sometimes battle long-term chronic health issues that can be debilitating and even fatal if not addressed properly. People with food allergies and food sensitivities sit before us in our consulting rooms. We are advised to be informed.",

        "raw_content": "February 22, 2008 March 15, 2008 Lisa Damian\nBook Review: Song Yet Sung by James McBride\nIn his most recent novel, Song Yet Sung, bestselling author James McBride writes about the tense struggle for freedom along the swampy shores of eastern Maryland in the days prior to the U.S. Civil War. The story\u2019s theme suggests that there are five directional points: \u201cNorth, south, east, west, and free. That\u2019s the fifth point.\u201d\nThe book opens with a gripping scene in which Liz, a beautiful young runaway slave, is fleeing for her life from a group of slave catchers. This mystical character suffers from a syndrome in which she is periodically struck unconscious against her will with the force of her sometimes disturbing and prophetic visions of the future, causing the other characters to refer to her as \u201cthe Dreamer.\u201d In order to survive, Liz must learn \u201cthe code\u201d that is wordlessly communicated along the Gospel Train.\nMcBride interweaves the lives of many unusual and diverse characters, showing us that people are often more than they appear in this small Chesapeake Bay town, where the weather and the water itself, as often as the violence of the slave trade, threatens to claim the lives of the pioneering oyster-collecting watermen.\nThis is a well researched book from a historical perspective, providing the reader with a brief glimpse of what life might have been like during this tumultuous time, while simultaneously turning the reader\u2019s attention to the present and to the possibilities of the future. McBride also manages to enmesh the reader in the frontier of Maryland\u2019s eastern shore, \u201cshrouded in myth and superstition.\u201d\nIt was not surprising to learn that McBride is also a musician. Not only is his metaphor of \u201cthe song\u201d a recurring analogy throughout the book, but his lyrical prose reads in a way that is almost musical. This can be seen in his description of the Woolman, a character who seemed at times more myth and legend than real:\n\u201cHe had a mass of outrageous, thick wild hair as well, gorgeous in its wildness, frightening in its freedom and abandon. He stood among the dark thick vines, branches and leaves with the patience and steady resolve of a tree\u2026 Even as the branches and leaves moved up and down, so he moved up and down with them, swaying with the trees, vines, and foliage around him as if he and the forest were one.\u201d\nMy only disappointment while reading this book is that I did not learn more about the life of the main character, Liz. I found myself yearning to learn about her in greater detail. Perhaps this was intentional on the author\u2019s part, however. By remaining a bit of a mystery, \u201cthe Dreamer\u201d became less of an individual and more of a symbolic representation of the dream itself, inspiring hope and dredging up wells of intense emotion in others, wherever she traveled.\nMcBride\u2019s first book, The Color of Water, was a memoir originally subtitled \u201cA Black Man\u2019s Tribute to His White Mother,\u201d and it quickly became a bestseller. His second book, Miracle at St. Anna, served as his first full length work of fiction. This story about four black American soldiers trapped behind enemy lines in Italy during World War II will soon be made into a movie by Spike Lee.\nNext Thinking About College?\nClearly I need to read this book, having studied both slavery and the Civil War in Maryland!!\nOne of the more striking features of the Eastern Shore landscape is the omnipresence of water, not only the Cheaspeake Bay, but its many inlets, swamps, and adjacent rivers. It\u2019s not difficult to see how enslaved African Americans could run away. The place at times feels almost primordial. Sadly there are few locations that commemorate even Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman, both natives of the region.\nBecause Lincoln\u2019s Emancipation Proclamation did not apply to Maryland, slavery ended here in November 1864. In neighboring Delaware, it ended with the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment in 1865.\nGreat post, Lisa!\nRobert, knowing the Maryland shores like you do, and as a history professor displaying a passion for this particular part of history, I think that you would be deeply drawn in by the themes and characters in this novel. Go out and buy it today! (If you haven\u2019t already.)\nIncidentally, James McBride came up with the idea of this novel while exploring the back roads of Dorchester County, Maryland. He said that he found himself near Cambridge, overlooking a field with a small sign commemorating Harriet Tubman\u2019s birthplace. After standing in the cornfield feeling \u201cthe vibes for a while,\u201d he became inspired. He returned to his car and began writing. According to the Author\u2019s Note: \u201cThis book is the result.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Hawaii Public High Schools Initiate New Approach to Help Students Prepare for Future Education Opportunities\nThe Hawaii State Department of Education (DOE) this month is initiating an unprecedented move designed to better prepare students for post-high school success.\nApproximately 50,000 students in grades 8 through 11 will take the ACT College and Career Readiness assessment. The nationwide testing date for the ACT assessment test for high school juniors will take place on Tuesday, April 23. All other grades will be taking their tests over a two-week window that also begin on the same date.\nWith the ACT College and Career Readiness System, the DOE for the first time will be able to comprehensively collect and examine college and career readiness data in reading, mathematics, science and English.\n\u201cCollege and career readiness is a key cornerstone of student success,\u201d says Keith Hayashi, principal, Waipahu High School. Mr. Hayashi recently won the Tokioka Excellence in Leadership Award among island public school principals. He developed several programs at Waipahu aimed at helping students achieve their college and career goals.\nMr. Hayashi added, \u201cOne of the Department\u2019s strategies is to provide better data on students\u2019 academic progress. This ACT test will help tremendously in that area.\u201d\n\u201cThe DOE\u2019s decision to administer the ACT College and Career Readiness System for all students in 8 \u2013 11th grades is evidence of their strong commitment to preparing students for post-secondary success,\u201d said Karen Lee, Executive Director of Hawaii P-20 Partnerships for Education. \u201cThe data gathered from the assessments will be invaluable as we work together with institutions of higher education to reach the state\u2019s goal of 55 percent of working age adults having a 2- or 4-year college degree in 2025.\u201d\nThe tests for 11th graders will include all four of the areas, plus a writing section. The tests are designed to help students plan for future education opportunities and explore careers based on their skills, interests and ambitions.\nStudents in 8th and 9th grades will take the ACT EXPLORE; those in 10th grade will take the PLAN exam, and the ACT assessment in grade 11. The ACT College and Career Readiness System is benchmarked to both the expectations of higher education institutions and workforce.\nEXPLORE (8th and 9th grade) serves as the entry measure of academic progress toward college and career readiness. It helps students understand and begin to explore the wide range of career options available.\nPLAN (10th grade) is a midpoint assessment of academic progress toward college and career readiness. It\u2019s a curriculum-based achievement test that measures college and career readiness, and is used for course placement as well.\nThe ACT aligns with Goal 1 of the DOE\u2019s Strategic Plan. The Plan calls for specific measurable targets and goals for student achievement. It builds on key strengths and reform initiatives to ensure all students graduate ready to succeed in college or careers.\nSchool communities, educators and students will benefit from ACT programs and services that reduce the need for remediation, align with state standards, and foster student success in postsecondary education. ACT\u2019s unique student-level assessment data may also be used by counselors to improve the effectiveness of student-intervention plans.\nIn preparation for the tests, parents and students should be aware that each test is about four hours in duration. Cell phones of any type, and some calculators are not permitted in the testing areas as well. A website (http://www.act.org/aap/hawaii/) also provides more information about the testing. For more information about the ACT test, log on to http://www.act.org/aap/hawaii/.\nThe DOE Systems Accountability Office is leading the implementation of the ACT College and Career Readiness System. ACT, Inc. was awarded a contract totaling approximately $882,000 for the system\u2019s assessment package, programs, and services for school year 2012-13.\nTo learn more about the DOE\u2019s Strategic Plan and transformation in public education, please visit: http://hawaiidoe.org/curriculum/strategicplan2011-2018/update/index.htm.\nFiled under: Announcements, Education, Hawaii, Kids, National Affairs, Something New?, State Affairs | Tagged: ACT, Education, Hawaii ACT Tests, Public Schools in Hawaii, SAT, Standardized test | Leave a comment \u00bb\nKamehameha Schools Serves More Than 45,000 Learners and Families\nKamehameha Schools served more than 45,000 keiki and their caregivers through its preschools, campuses, community education programs and collaborations with other organizations during this past fiscal year which ended on June 30, 2010.\nThe Schools\u2019 support of Department of Education (DOE) schools and programs has been a key focus throughout its Education Strategic Plan implemented in 2005. Its support of DOE programs and services totaled $31 million this year, compared to $27.9 million last year \u2013 an increase of 10 percent.\n\u201cMost people think of our campuses when they see the name Kamehameha Schools, and we have very talented students in all three of our campus programs. But what many don\u2019t realize is that we support talented young students in community programs and public schools throughout Hawai\u00ffi,\u201d said Kamehameha Schools CEO Dee Jay Mailer.\nEducation and education support spending was also up from $258 million during FY 2009 to $299 million during FY 2010. Of this amount, $102 million was spent on community-focused programs.\n\u201cOur outreach numbers last year were well past the target for 2009-10 that we established in 2005, when the Education Strategic Plan was approved,\u201d said Chris Pating, vice president of Strategic Planning & Implementation.\n\u201cStill, we know there are 75,000 school aged Native Hawaiian keiki in our public schools, so we are deepening our efforts to support initiatives and programs already in communities with large numbers of Native Hawaiians. For example, Kamehameha Schools worked closely with the DOE in preparation of the Race to the Top application. A large part of the $75 million awarded to Hawai\u00ffi will flow to public schools from N\u0101n\u0101kuli to M\u0101kaha, one of the Zones of School Innovation defined in the state\u2019s application,\u201d he said. According to Pating, this also means that additional support for initiatives that Kamehameha Schools has already invested in, such as New Tech High, which is already engaging students at N\u00e4n\u00e4kuli and Wai\u00ffanae high schools in project-based, 21st century learning will enable these programs to become sustainable, meaningful parts of the educational success stories we\u2019re already beginning to see.\n\u201cFor example Kamehameha Schools worked closely with the DOE in preparation of the Race to the Top application. A large part of the $75 million awarded to Hawai`i will flow to public schools from N\u0101n\u0101kuli to M\u0101kaha, one of the Zones of School Innovation defined in the state\u2019s application. This also means that additional support for initiatives that Kamehameha Schools has already invested in, such as New Tech High, which is already engaging students at N\u0101n\u0101kuli and Wai`anae high schools in project-based, 21st-century learning will enable these programs to become sustainable, meaningful parts of the educational success stories we\u2019re already beginning to see.\u201d\nOther examples of KS\u2019 educational impact include:\nLiteracy Instruction & Support (LIS): LIS provides culturally relevant learning experiences which develop literacy skills of Hawaiian keiki. This past fiscal year, eight new sites were added, thereby doubling the number of students served. Students at our 21 school-based sites (220 K-3 classrooms) are meeting or exceeding all key literacy targets and schools report high levels of satisfaction among DOE principals and superintendents. Attendance rates are high and students are engaged in both in-school and After School programs.\nHawaiian-focused start-up and conversion public charter schools: Kamehameha Schools has provided $9.1 million in per-pupil funding for the 17 Hawaiian-focused start-up and conversion public charter schools serving more than 3,600 students and their families.\nEducator training: $7.9 million (up from $6.4 million FY 2009) in educator training and support including funding for Teach for America participants serving predominantly Hawaiian public schools.\nOther Education Strategic Plan milestones in FY 2010 include:\nOver $12 million in scholarships to Native Hawaiian children attending eligible preschools and private-school kindergarten programs across the state. (2,194 keiki)\n$12.6 million for Native Hawaiians attending college and post-high vocational/technical institutions. (2,508 awards)\n$6.6 million in funding support for a variety of programs for students in DOE schools, including:\nTutoring and test preparation for students ages 16+ who wish to attain their competency-based high-school diploma.\nSummer enrichment programs on campus.\nHomework centers and after-school tutoring.\nPlace-based learning in lo\u00ffi kalo and Hawaiian fishponds.\nClassroom-based Hawaiian social studies instruction for grades 4-7.\nAfter-school violence and substance abuse prevention for at-risk youth.\n\u201cGoing forward, Kamehameha Schools is committed to supporting the work in the DOE as well as programs and services in the community. Our goal is to see our Native Hawaiian keiki thrive \u2013 whether they are on one of our campuses, attending a charter school on Kaua`i or in an after-school program through our Literacy Instruction and Support program on Hawai`i, Kamehameha Schools recognizes its kuleana to support educational success for Native Hawaiians in perpetuity,\u201d said Pating.\nKamehameha Schools is a private, educational, charitable trust founded and endowed by the legacy of Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop. Kamehameha Schools operates a statewide educational system enrolling nearly 6,900 students of Hawaiian ancestry at K-12 campuses on O`ahu, Maui and Hawai`i and 31 preschool sites statewide. Approximately 37,500 additional Hawaiian learners and caregivers are served each year through a range of other Kamehameha Schools\u2019 outreach programs, community collaborations and financial aid opportunities in Hawai`i and across the continental United States.\nFiled under: aloha, Announcements, Education, Hawaiian, Kids | Tagged: Education, Kamehameha Schools, Native Hawaiians, Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop | Leave a comment \u00bb\nTazer Incident at Keaau High School\u2026 My Thoughts\nThe Department of Education, the board overseeing the state\u2019s schools and local police are doing separate investigations into an affray Tuesday at Keaau High School that led to the arrest of six students and one 17-year-old student being subdued with a Taser.\nSo the police tazered a kid at Keaau High School and it seems like many people are blaming many different reasons for what went down at the school. Only those that were present know what went down so speculating what should and shouldn\u2019t have been done is kind of useless.\nFormer Waiakea faculty member Brian Jordan thinks having more male role models would help:\n\u2026Students with severe discipline problems need to be in a school with MORE MALE ROLE MODELS\u2026\n\u2026The lack of male teachers causes a security risk. These kids are BIG. Many are violent from years of neglect and all manner of abuse (physical, sexual,substance). The first thing that needs to happen is the old school complex needs to be a mostly male teacher campus\u2026\nI don\u2019t know what the percentage of male to female faculty members are at the High School, but, at the Middle School, the staff is about 50-50 Male to Female.\nIt\u2019s not the DOE\u2019s fault that many MEN do not choose to go into the education field. I think it\u2019s Society\u2019s fault for not putting the value in teachers in general. If teachers were more respected, meaning higher pay, more authority, and less restrictions on what they can and cannot teach\u2026 the whole learning environment would be much better.\nRight now with the NCLB act mandating that public schools be taught in such a structured format, many kids that go to them just can\u2019t stand the format\u2026 and literally become a problem because they are bored at school. Most of the trouble that I see first hand at the \u201cFeeder School\u201d to the High School, stems from attitude problems that have nothing to do with the teachers at the school\u2026 It\u2019s the system that the kids are in. The whole DOE needs a complete overall from top to bottom.\nWhen will Hawaii wake up and realize that we are still one of the few States in America that still has a Statewide governance of the School System instead of local school boards?\nDo you really think that Board of Education sitting over there on Oahu knows what kind of problems Big Island families face compared to Oahu? I don\u2019t know\u2026\n\u2026Police say the use of the stun gun on the student was appropriate. But some parents and at least one Board of Education member are questioning the use of force.\n\u201cI\u2019m having one of my staff analysts investigate how often this (stun gun) is being done. We want to get to the bottom of this,\u201d said BOE member Mary Cochran.\n\u201cIf this kid engaged in activity violent enough to warrant the use of a Taser, I don\u2019t know. That\u2019s what we\u2019re trying to find out,\u201d Cochran said\u2026\nI constantly am amazed at just how big some of these Middle School Students are. I have students that are much bigger then me, and I\u2019m almost 6 feet tall. These are only 6th-8th graders mind you\u2026 not High School students.\nI\u2019ll say it once more for clarification\u2026 it\u2019s not the schools/teachers/faculties fault most of the times when problems do arise at schools\u2026 It\u2019s the system.\nAll the way from the Governance of the Schools, to the way parents are raising their children.\nSome people are blaming it all on the parents as well\u2026 and I do think there is a bit more merit in blaming the parents for what happens at the school. As we all know, education begins at home.\nI just have one question\u2026 I believe some of the Honolulu Tazer guns have a camera installed on them so that anytime a gun is used, there is a video of the incident.\nDoes anyone know if Big Island\u2019s cops have this device on their Tazers? It would be interesting to see a video of the actual incident.\nHere is an example of those guns:\nFiled under: Community, Education, Kids, Legal, Puna, Security, State Affairs | Tagged: Education, Keaau High School, Tazer Incident | 1 Comment \u00bb\nWorking With Special Kids\u2026 Everyone Should Do It\nPart of my new job, is that I\u2019m rotating between many different classes and subject matters. I\u2019ve gone from some of the things that are easy for me like Language Arts and Literature, since I have a little background in writing although you wouldn\u2019t know it by reading my blog, to subjects that I never in my lifetime thought I would be teaching like MATH!\nAnyone that knows me, knows I suck at math and really basically FEAR it. I mean I can do the basics and what not, but when we start getting into the complex stuff\u2026 I\u2019d just much rather stare out a window or something.\nOn occasion, they will have me substitute during a class period for \u201cSpecial Kids\u201d where I literally will monitor a child that needs a little more attention and I basically keep them on focus and give them a little more help understanding what the teacher is trying to explain to the rest of the kids.\nThe other day, my supervisor told me I needed to report to the \u201cBand Room\u201d where I would be assisting a \u201cSpecial Needs\u201d student with \u201cBand Practice\u201d. Anyone that knows me, knows that I also have no musical ability whatsoever and I doubt I could even play the friggin triangle if I wanted too.\nI was dreading this class thinking that I was going to have to help this \u201cspecial child\u201d learn how to play an instrument. Man oh mighty, I was so pleasantly surprised by this child that they not only knew how to play their instrument, they new how to play it pretty good for the age of the student. This student even knew how to clean their instrument as well as tune it. I didn\u2019t have to do a thing during the entire class. It was so enjoyable! I literally sat their and listened to the kids play music for an entire period. It was like listening to a symphony or anything great and most of the time, the kids were off on their playing\u2026 but it was so enjoyable.\nToday, I also got the privilege to work with an Autistic child for about a half an hour. This child although he has the body of about a 13 \u2013 16 year old, he is literally about the age of a 2-3 year old because of his Autism. This boy was so much fun to work with as I chased him around the school on his \u201cGIANT TRIKE\u201d that I just had a blast trying to teach him just the littlest things like GO and STOP\u2026 Things like Left and Right didn\u2019t comprehend to him\u2026 but things like\u2026 Grass and Rain and other things did. While I understand that he probably didn\u2019t understand much of what I was trying to say to him, I do feel that the little bit of talking I did with him \u2026 made his day\u2026 which in turn made my day.\nWorking with the special children is almost as fun as working with the other children. At least most of the Special Children don\u2019t attempt to smart off on purpose!!!\nFiled under: Education, Kids, Something New? | Tagged: Autism, Education, Kids | 4 Comments \u00bb\nNice to Be Working\u2026 But These Damn Kids!\nWell just got back from my first day back to work.

Now it has gotten so big that it covers two nights.\nTonight is 1 of 2 nights that will be filled with entertaining acts from throughout the world that the students put on themselves.\nI know that UH Hilo has a very diverse student population with students from throughout the world so it really makes for a great evening of entertainment as well as education.\n\u201c\u2026The countries or cultures to be represented will include Hawai`i, Ireland, Pohnpei, Native America, Palau, Okinawa, USA, Marshall Islands, Samoa, Brazil, Timor Leste, Japan, Philippines, and Chuuk\u2026\n\u2026International Nights 2009 is co-sponsored by UHHSA and Rotary Club of Hilo Bay. For more information about this event please contact the International Student Office at 974-7313\u2026\n\u2026Tickets are priced as follows: $8 for general admission, $5 for seniors, $3 for students (schools and colleges) and children. For tickets, please contact the PAC box office at 974-7310.\u201d\nPersonally, I think this event is probably the best event that UH Hilo puts on each year.\nIf you can\u2019t make it to both nights, at least try to get to one of them.\nYou can see the UH Hilo Calendar here for more information on this as well as other upcoming events..\nPhotographer James Rubio took these pictures that I lifted from UH\u2019s Site.

A little more flashy, music, and a couple moves from the kata are done twice with different applications. Remember, bunkai is just one interpretation of the kata. One motion in the kata can represent multiple techniques.

It did appear the St. Joseph was taking the lead, but anything can happen in basketball and there was a lot of time left on the clock.\nWin or lose tonights game, it doesn\u2019t really matter to me.

He is eligible now.\nAthletes raised money to compete at the Iolani Invitational, held in Honolulu from Dec. 29-31. The athlete in question traveled with team \u2014 not expecting to wrestle but rather to take part in team functions, Gravon said. Once in Hawaii, Gravon said, Haga saw that the tournament was not being run according to strict standards, and he registered the athlete under a false name\u2026\nFiled under: Education, Kids, Sports | Tagged: Education, Kids, Sports | 1 Comment \u00bb\nRotary Club of Honolulu and Palama Settlement Create \u2018Giving\u2019 Library\nReading is cool! That\u2019s why 48 Honolulu Club Rotarians spent their Saturday (January 24) constructing bookshelves and sorting thousands of books recently donated to the Palama Settlement-7,000 to date.\n\u201cThese books will soon be off the floors, out of boxes and onto shelves ready for kids to browse and read,\u201d said Rotarian Kirk Hovious, coordinator of the construction project for the Rotary Club of Honolulu.\nEverything about this hands-on Rotary Cares project is unique.\nIt\u2019s the first library\u2013and a dream come true\u2013for Palama Settlement, a century-old community organization serving individuals and families in the Palama, Kalihi and Liliha neighborhoods of Oahu.\nIt\u2019s \u201cnon-traditional\u201d-books will be conveniently located throughout the Palama campus-children\u2019s books on shelves near the preschool area, teen reads at the activity center for youth and literature of all sorts at the adult education center. And, it will be a \u201cgiving\u201d library-you can keep the book if you want it.\nThe message is one of literacy.\n\u201cBy spreading books out in different locations, we encourage people to take and use them and share them with others,\u201d said Jan Harada, Palama Settlement executive director, who worked with Rotarians on the concept. \u201cIt just seemed more practical.\u201d\nThe project is also a double win for Honolulu Club Rotarians. By doing the work themselves, the club qualifies for a $10,000 grant from the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation.

        "raw_content": "Last summer I was lucky enough to take a week away to go to Rome and the surrounding region. Yes, it has taken me over a year to write this post. It wasn't exactly a holiday. Our holidays are usually of the active, cultural sort---museums and all that---rather than the lying on the beach sort.[1] But this, you see, was a research trip. I'd secured a few hundred pounds from my School's travel grant fund, paying the rest from my own bank account.\nThere was walking.\nAnyway, after doing as much as I could for a few days in Rome (some of which I'll perhaps one day get around to blogging about too), I collected the rental car that I'd booked well in advance, and headed to a new base in the outskirts, from which I could drive out to my research sites. The most northerly of these was Roman Cosa, nowadays in the village of Ansedonia. You can see both the modern Ansedonia and Roman Cosa in the map. The latter is the area in the dead centre. You can click through to rotate and tilt the landscape to better make out the features of the site.\nCosa was a Roman colony (Latin colonia) established in 273 BCE on land taken from the Etruscans (who probably held the nearby site at Orbetello). It's purpose should be quite clear to anyone who's hauled their way up to it. Cosa is right at the top of the headland, and affords spectacular views. To the South, the sweeping bay, a crucial and valuable natural harbour. To the East, the land sweeps away to that of the potentially hostile Etruscan cities, who still held their independence at the time of Cosa's foundation.\nThese photos I took from Cosa's arx, its highest place of refuge.[2]\nA view from the arx at Cosa. 2013-09-23. (C) David Colwill\nI'll get back to the buildings at the arx in a bit. Before that, I'd like to start back at the entrance to the archaeological remains as they currently lie. It's a publically accessible site, with a small fee payable to access the museum. The place as a whole is striking. Living in the UK, you get used to sort of living in the remains of the Roman occupation. I mean, so many of our place names reference the Romans in some way, directly or oblique. And there are structures, many of them ankle height, some much more impressive. The amphitheatre of Caerleon and the perimeter wall of Caerwent are just down the road. But walking through Cosa is to walk through a debris field of antiquity. It's strewn all around. Fragments of stone are everywhere, some clearly hewn by human hands, but much of it indistinct. Bits of terracotta poke out of the dusty soil everywhere you look or tread.\nThis is the archaeological plan of the site:\nPlan of Cosa on a public graphic onsite. Image taken: 2013-09-23.\n(C) Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Cosa and others.\nApproaching Cosa and its walls\nThe modern visitor gains access via the gate numbered 1 on the map, the others being not open for the public to pass through. That's because the authorities are evidently (and quite rightfully) eager to control access to and from the site:\nWarning! Signs at Cosa. Taken: 2013-09-23.\nGate 2 however, is really interesting, and I'll be showing a few pictures of it later. Of course in the days of the city's inhabitation, all three gates would have been in use, and I expect that number 2 would take a large part of the traffic, as it lies on the side facing inland and having the least steep approach to the town (at least as far as I can tell from nowadays. I should check Google Maps I suppose to confirm this impression).\nCosa site entrance (Roman gate)\nCosa Museum and adjoining House of the Skeleton\nVilla, forum and public buildings\nNorth-East gate\n[1] I'm not the sit-still type.\n[2] The arx would often fulfil the dual role of being the site of the major monumentalised temples and of being the place of last refuge. It was somewhat equivalent to the Greek acropolis, with which people are usually familiar, even if just for the one at Athens.",

A conditioned crawl space is when you introduce air from your existing heating and cooling system into a sealed crawlspace, which means your foundation vents are sealed from outside air and you are pressurizing your crawlspace with air from your existing HVAC unit. This system is a great solution in many homes; however, a dehumidifier is a better solution for other homes.\nLast week we installed a dehumidifier into a Energy Star Rated home in Rehoboth Beach, that was built last year. The home already had been previously encapsulated. The PROBLEM was that the HVAC company had never cut in supply vents to condition the crawl space, and the hardwood floors had started to cup and buckle, an mold had started to form on floor joist, because the humidity was at 74%. After talking to the homeowner, I found out that their home is a seasonal beach home and is not occupied year round, it is used fully during summer months and occasionally during the remainder of the year. When occupied, most often the windows are open for fresh air. For this reason, we advised them to install a energy rated, \u201dApproved\u201d crawl space dehumidifier. most often people think that a dehumidifier from Lowe\u2019s or Home Depot will do the job, that is not the case. They are not designed to properly dehumidify a crawl space, and simply cannot maintain healthy moisture levels.\nA crawl space dehumidifier will keep the humidity levels constant at below 55% year round, so the possibilities of mold, wet insulation, condensation, wood rot, or musty smells are eliminated. We also installed a wireless hygrometer, to better monitor the temperature and humidity levels in there crawl space at all times. Problem Solved\u2026",

This describes systems in a wide variety of functions, many crucial to the function of modern society, making their security of paramount importance. The development of secure system design and attack detection strategies for each potential avenue of attack is needed to combat malicious attacks. This thesis will provide an overview of the approaches to securing different aspect of cyber-physical systems. The cyber element can be designed to better prevent unauthorized entry and to be more robust to attack while its use is evaluated for signs of ongoing intrusion. Nodes in sensor networks can be evaluated by their claims to determine the likelihood of their honesty. Control systems can be designed to be robust in cases of the failure of one component and to detect signal insertion or replay attack. Through the application of these strategies, the safety and continued function of cyber-physical systems can be improved.\nDavis, Sarah, \"Cyber-Physical Security Strategies\" (2014).

Because they are disappearing at a rapid rate, coastal wetlands issues have been prominent in south Louisiana for decades. The catastrophic hurricanes of 2005 and 2008 have given the discussion an increased sense of urgency. Through this paper, I explore coverage of wetlands loss in local south Louisiana daily newspapers. Specifically, I try to determine how these papers frame the issue and illuminate how sources present in these stories participate in the construction of those frames. I then discuss the advocacy group America\u2019s WETLAND\u2019s role as a newspaper source, how the group developed and maintains its message, and the relationship between that message and the group\u2019s sponsors. Finally, I interview journalists who cover the issue for newspapers in south Louisiana and the managing director of America\u2019s WETLAND.\nHarang, Paul, \"Advocacy groups in the wake of Hurricane Katrina: who shapes coverage of wetlands loss\" (2009).

        "raw_content": "XVOO may be your secret weapon against breast cancer\nYou\u2019ll see that in many of my recipes I feature something called XVOO \u2013 that\u2019s extra virgin olive oil for people who are too lazy to type it out. I also write it like that because I want to draw your attention to it as an ingredient. We all know it\u2019s an oil with a healthy reputation but it may be a lot more powerful than we realise.\nAs part of the PREDIMED study, a bunch of scientists led by Estafania Toledo MD, set up a randomised sub-group trial* in primary health care centres in Spain to look at the effect of long-term dietary intervention on breast cancer incidence.\nBetween 2003 and 2009 they followed the progress of 4282 white, menopausal women between the ages of 60 and 80 (mean age 67.7) who were known to their doctor to be at high risk of cardiovascular disease.\nThe women were divided into 3 groups and given different diets:\nMediterranean diet supplemented with 15% of calories as extra virgin olive oil\nMediterranean diet supplemented with mixed nuts (15g walnuts, 7.5g hazelnuts, 7.5g almonds daily)\nReduced fat diet (less than 10% saturated fat)\nAfter doing all the statistical adjustments to make sure the results were fairly compared, they found that the relative rate of occurrence of breast cancer was\n1.1 in the olive oil group\n1.8 in the mixed nuts group\nand 2.9 in the reduced fat group.\nThat equates to a 62% relatively lower risk for the olive oil group, and almost 3x greater risk in the low fat subjects!\nInterestingly, if you interrogate the data, the olive oil group were slightly worse off at baseline \u2013 with a few more smokers, slightly higher alcohol intake and more subjects with hypertension, type 2 diabetes and family history of heart disease and cancer.\nThis was the first long term nutrition intervention trial to look at the effect of diet on breast cancer and, to me, the results speak powerfully in favour of a high fat mediterranean diet \u2013 an idea that inspires most of the recipes on the blog.\nCombine this with keeping your Vitamin D levels optimal with the help of GP monitoring and you will be doing a lot to help yourself.\nThe reasons for the protective effect of olive oil are not completely clear. The authors suggest that the abundance of polyphenols \u2013 oleocanthoal, oleuropein, hydroxytyrosol and lignans, together with the anti-proliferative effect of oleic acid \u2013 may explain the effect. I suspect it may also be because the higher fat intake is likely to have changed the proportion of carbohydrates in the diet, reducing insulin resistance and supporting lower blood glucose.\nSo that\u2019s why I drizzle XVOO freely on my recipes \u2013 while being careful never to heat it above 180\u2019C.\nPS It may also protect against neurological damage and Alzheimer\u2019s disease. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/06/170621103123.htm\n*Toledo, E. et al., 2015.

        "raw_content": "Alcoholic neuropathy is nerve damage as a result of chronic alcohol abuse. The condition causes numbness, loss of sensation, pain, tingling, and weakness in the hands and feet that worsens over time. Alcoholic neuropathy can also affect other body parts and systems, including the brain. Drinking alcohol excessively can damage nerve tissue as a result of the ethanol found in alcoholic beverages; in addition, the problem may be compounded by a lack of vitamins and the poor diet alcoholics usually consume. The resulting nerve damage can become permanent if it is not properly treated.\nTo treat alcohol neuropathy, the underlying cause of alcoholism must be addressed so that the damaging alcohol consumption stops. In addition vitamin supplementation, particularly B vitamins, may restore the damaged nerves. Prescription medications are also available to alleviate the pain (always seek the advice of a doctor before taking any medication). In some cases, galvanic stimulation is administered to help improve nerve function. Magnetic therapy is another treatment option.",

        "title": "Waivers of Subrogation and Contractual Risk Transfer",
        "raw_content": "Waivers of subrogation and contractual risk transfer\n\u201cSubrogation\u201d is a legal term commonly used in contracts or used by insurers when they seek reimbursement for damages. The idea is that if you experience a loss covered by insurance and your insurer pays you, then your insurer, provided they have the right of subrogation, can sue the person or entity that caused the loss in order for your insurer to collect for the payments made to you under your policy.\nIt is common in commercial contracts and leases to insert language that limits the ability of the insurer from suing the party that caused the loss (a Waiver). In the case of contractors, the logic is that the party doing the work is being compensated and accepts certain responsibilities in the contract. The Waiver of Subrogation (WOS) intends to prevent an insurer from pursuing subrogation against a third party. WOS may take various forms in commercial property and casualty insurance policies as well as workers\u2019 compensation policies.\nThe idea of agreeing in advance to a WOS is to minimize lawsuits and claims among the parties. Essentially, with a WOS the risk of loss is agreed to lie with the insurers prior to any claim of loss actually occurring.\nWOS are typically evidenced on the Certificate of Insurance asked for by the landlord or contracting party. Moreover, there are specific insurance policy Endorsement forms that may be requested as further proof that the WOS has, in fact, been granted by the insurer.\nIn the case of workers\u2019 compensation, WOS is automatically invoked (although there are a few state exceptions). This is done to prevent the employee from suing their employer or its insurer because they are already being compensation for injury under the workers\u2019 compensation policy of the employer. Download a state-by-state guide to workers\u2019 compensation law and subrogation rights.\nGenerally speaking, courts have upheld the validity and enforceability of Waivers of Subrogation. A few points to bear in mind:\nKeep your insurer informed of any agreements to which you have agreed to grant a WOS. The insurer must agree to the WOS as they are the party that must grant it.\nContracts should be written in language that does not give the appearance of conflict between the indemnity provisions afforded the owner and the WOS granted by the contractor. Some courts have found the two provisions create an ambiguity which must be resolved through determination of the parties\u2019 intent.\nReview state law to determine if your state applies WOS broadly or narrowly and align the contract language accordingly.\nIndicate clearly in the contract if the WOS provision is to remain in effect after the completion of the contracted work.\nWaivers of Subrogation provide a useful mechanism for minimizing project disruptions and stemming unwanted litigation providing benefit to both parties. Risk Managers are advised to have the WOS elements of their contracts reviewed by both legal and insurance professionals to ensure clarity of the intentions of each party and to remove any potential conflicts with other contract provisions.",

        "raw_content": "On March 21, Symphony Space in New York City's Upper Manhattan came alive with music, laughter and colorful stories behind the tropical tunes of two legends of the Dominican and international music scene, Rafael Solano and Johnny Ventura. This momentous event marked Global Foundation for Democracy and Development\u2019s (GFDD) first Dominican Get-Together (DGT) in the Big Apple of 2014.\nDominicans and non-Dominicans, including local dignitaries, partners, associates and music aficionados, filled the auditorium to celebrate the Dominican Republic\u2019s rich and distinct musical heritage showcasing award winning musicians also known as \"El Maestro\u201d and \u201cEl Caballo Mayor\u201d respectively. The charismatic pair took to the stage to recall the joys, challenges and successes of their extensive careers spanning over five decades.\nThe evening's thrilling program was introduced by GFDD's Executive Director, Natasha Despotovic, who welcomed guests and invited them to celebrate the Dominican Republic\u2019s rich and distinct musical rhythms by highlighting their respective work and resultant achievements in an exciting film montage. The audience were then tested on their knowledge of the legendary pair in a fun quiz.\nIn her opening remarks, Ms. Despotovic lauded their positive contributions to the Dominican and wider world. \"We salute the fact that they have bought joy and happiness to millions as well as having been true ambassadors of Dominican culture. We hope to continue to work with them to bring more cultural and educational initiatives to the Dominican community in the US and abroad.\u201d\nThe DGT, which was the first ever to be web-streamed live to audiences around the globe, gave an opportunity to learn more about the winning characteristics that made both musicians legendary in their fields.\nRafael Solano S\u00e1nchez is a Dominican pianist, song-writer, composer, arranger, author and former Dominican ambassador to United Nations Education and Scientific cultural organization (UNESCO). He has been credited with writing over a hundred songs of various genres that include romantic, folk, as well as choral, religious, and of course, merengue music. His most famous love song, \"Por Amor\" (For Love), has been translated into several languages and performed by voices ranging from Marco Antonio Mu\u00f1iz, Vicki Carr, Jon Secada, the Mariachi Vargas, and Pl\u00e1cido Domingo. It is often cited as one of the most successful Dominican songs.\nHe was born in Puerto Plata, on April 10, 1931 . At eleven years old he was considered a child prodigy and was a proficient violinist, cellist, and devotee of the piano. In 1950 he moved to Santo Domingo to study at the National Conservatory of Music, but after completing all courses deviated from the goal of concert pianist to enter the then brand new Radio - Television Dominicana, and soon became one of the music directors there.\nSolano had high aspirations and traveled to to New York in search of the teachings of renowned American composer Hall Overton, both privately and in the New School of Social Research, a prestigious institution in the city. He successfully made \u200b\u200binroads as a television producer looking for new talent and was responsible for the meteoric rise of latin voices like Fernandito Villalona, \u200b\u200bFrank Valdez, Adalgisa Pantaleon, Sergio Vargas, and many more.\nAt the same time, he achieved recognition as a writer in his column titled \" Solanismos \" published in the daily newspaper Listin Diaro, and as an author. In 2003, he published a large volume entitled, \"Merengue, Music and Dance of the Dominican Republic\", together with distinguished musicologist Catana Perez de Cuello. The book is significant for its quality of writing and its contribution to the scientific study of popular music in the country.\nHe has been decorated by the Dominican Government with the \"Order of Duarte, Sanchez and Mella\" and has received the \"Grand Gold \" and \" The Sovereign \", among the highest awards in Dominican popular music.\nJohnny Ventura is the man who almost singlehandedly developed and modernized the contemporary merengue sound, beginning with his first recordings in the early '60s. He was influenced by the original wave of rock & roll, and quickly imported the energy as well as some dance routines inspired by Elvis. He continued to record into the 1990s, influencing other merengue singers such as popular artists, Wilfrido Vargas and Juan Lu\u00eds Guerra.\nHe started his career as a singer in several bands that presented themselves at the dances in La Feria. In the early sixties he worked with the orchestra of Rond\u00f3n Votau and in 1961 with the band of the Dominican percussionist Donald Wild. He also sang with Combo Caribe of Luis P\u00e9rez, with whom he recorded \"Cuidado con el cuabero\", of which he was the author, and \"La agarradera\", of Luis P\u00e9rez. It was with this band that he recorded his first LP consisting of 12 songs.\nSoon after he was recruited by the famous musical director Papa Molina to join La Super Orquesta San Jos\u00e9, which he was the director of at that time. He joined as a singer and as a player of the g\u00fcira. For two years Ventura was part of La Super Orquesta with stars like Vinicio Franco and Grecia Aquino. Although no records remain of this group, this period was a landmark in his career. He was encouraged to create his own orchestra, the \"Combo Show\" which is known as an important part of the history of popular Dominican music.\nIn 1967 Ventura, who also once served as mayor of Santo Domingo, traveled to the United States, where he immediately became a star.\nFollowing the reminiscences from the musicians, audience members excitedly posed questions to the artists and asked various questions. Ms. Despotovic then intived talented volunteers to come up on stage to sing some of their favorite songs of the pair, to the delight of the crowd who invariably joined in. In return, each brave guest received a prize of GFDD publications, New Perspectives Dominican Republic, and the Dominican Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Environment.\nThe enchanted and mesmerized audience were finally treated to one of Solano's great piano compositions, in which Ventura duly joined for a soulful duet. The performance was rounded off with an emotive and heartfelt rendition of 'Por Amor'.\nPeople were asked about their thoughts at a reception following the event; \u201cSeeing these great national treasures here tonight brings back special memories,\u201d said Marco Bastidas, a high school teacher in the Bronx. \u201cI see educational value in the fact that it shows an image of the Dominican Republic which goes beyond tourism\u2026 it is a vision of the country that is very conscious of its traditions, culture and musical heritage which is important to me as an educator.\u201d\nThe activity, one of the largest ever staged of the Dominican Get-Togethers in the Big Apple, forms part of GFDD\u2019s mission to promote understanding and appreciation of Dominican culture, values and heritage, and to create opportunities for discussions on contemporary issues relevant to Dominican society in the homeland and abroad. GFDD reaches out to the Dominican community living the New York Metro Area and to all those interested in the Dominican culture by organizing ongoing events.",

        "raw_content": "Relieve Your Child\u2019s Scarlet Fever Rash: 10 Natural Treatments\nOnce considered a very severe childhood disease, scarlet fever is now easy to treat, and the prognosis for recovery is excellent. Physical signs include a very red sore throat and scarlet fever rash, a red rash that appears on the neck, under the arms, or in the groin area, which spreads quickly over the rest of the body.\nPhysicians commonly treat scarlet fever with oral antibiotics to speed healing and reduce the length of time the infected party is contagious. Those infected should stay home from daycare, school or work; while it primarily occurs in children five\u201315 years-old, adults are not immune. (1)\nIt spreads quickly through droplets of nasal fluids or saliva that often accompany a sneeze or a cough. The incubation period is very short; just one to two days after exposure you can expect a fever and sore throat to appear if you have been infected.\nIn the simplest of terms, scarlet fever rash is caused by the bacteria A streptococcus, the same bacteria that causes strep throat and impetigo. The Group A Streptococcus bacteria can cause a variety of infections from minor to very serious, and potentially deadly. Fortunately, both strep throat and scarlet fever fall on the milder end of the scale. (2)\nWhile complications are relatively rare, if the bacteria spreads to another area of the body, ear infections, abscesses, swollen lymph nodes and sinus infections are possible. In rare cases, potentially life-threatening conditions, rheumatic fever or post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis, can occur. In the weeks after a strep infection, watch for chest pain, uncontrollable body movements, edema, dark or reddish urine, and signs of anemia, and call your doctor immediately if any of these signs appear. (3, 4)\nThe most common sign of scarlet fever is scarlet fever rash \u2014 a bright red rash that has the texture of rough sandpaper. Other signs and symptoms include: (5, 6)\nA very red, painful throat\nA temperature of 101F, or above with or without chills\nBright red skin on the cheeks, underarms and where skin creases and folds that may resemble a severe sunburn\nA whitish coating on the tongue\nA swollen, red and bumpy tongue that resembles a strawberry\nAbdominal pain, sometimes severe\nAlso known as scarlatina, the cause of scarlet fever is the strep bacteria, found in strep throat and impetigo. While it is most commonly associated with strep throat, scarlet fever can also develop from group A strep infections. It is highly contagious, and it spreads rapidly from person to person, especially when in close quarters.\nThe Group A strep bacteria live in the nose and the throat and when droplets become airborne from a sneeze or a cough, those in close proximity can become infected. That\u2019s why it is imperative that those infected avoid personal contact and avoid public outings until healed.\nRisk factors for scarlet fever include: (7, 8)\nA current strep throat infection.\nBeing between five and 15-years old\nBeing a parent of a school-aged child\nLiving, working or going to school or church in tight quarters with large groups of people\nSpring or fall is when strep bacteria most often circulate\nConventional Scarlet Fever Treatment\nDoctors most commonly prescribe oral antibiotics for scarlet fever and strep throat. In some cases, for a patient with a severe infection, a single injection of penicillin G benzathine may be used instead of oral antibiotics.\nIf you suspect scarlet fever, your physician will diagnose you or your child through a visual inspection of the rash and a culture of the throat. If a sore throat does not accompany the scarlet fever rash, other tests will be ordered as there are other more serious conditions that cause both a rash and a high fever. (9)\n10 Natural Remedies for Scarlet Fever Rash\nGargle with Pink Himalayan Salt\nFor generations, sore throats have been treated by gargling with warm salt water to relieve pain and inflammation. Science backs up this practice, according to Dr. Sorana Segal-Maurer, MD chief of the Dr. James J. Rahal Jr. Division of Infectious Disease at New York Hospital Queens. As it turns out, gargling with salt water washes the toxins out; be sure to spit out the water, and don\u2019t swallow. (10)\nAnd, instead of table salt, be sure to use pink Himalayan salt which is filled with potassium, magnesium and calcium. This ancient salt, in particular, increases the pH balance in your system, making it more difficult for bacteria to survive. Mix one teaspoon of pink Himalayan salt into one cup of warm water. Gargle and spit repeatedly until the mixture is gone.\nA study published in the Journal of Hospital Infection found that a four percent tea tree oil ointment and five percent tea tree oil body wash performed better against staph infections than Mupirocin\u00ae, a topical antibacterial ointment. (11)\nTo treat scarlet fever rash, mix one teaspoon of coconut oil to five drops of tea tree oil, and smooth over the areas affected by the scarlet fever rash. Because tea tree oil is strong, and in some people can cause irritation, always dilute it with a carrier oil of at least 1:1.\nPlease note \u2014 tea tree oil is NOT to be ingested. While it is often suggested as a good mouthwash to combat bacteria, toothaches, mouth ulcers and bad breath, it is imperative that you spit out the oil afterward to prevent adverse side effects. (12)\nRich with amino acids, B vitamins and essential minerals, the benefits of Manuka honey are great. It has been shown to be effective against MRSA, supports a healthy digestive system, helps heal eczema and acne, and fights tooth decay and bad breath. It also has been shown to stop the growth of strep bacteria. (13)\nWith scarlet fever, applying it directly to the rash can provide relief. But, it is most useful in treating scarlet fever and strep throat when it is swished in the mouth and swallowed. Take a teaspoon, several times each day and swirl it around the mouth. Doing this following gargling with pink Himalayan salt water may provide the best results.\nCoconut oil benefits are widely accepted now as medical researchers turn more attention to the unique healing properties of the MCFAs, caprylic acid, lauric acid and capric acid. It is widely used to treat inflammation, to boost the immune system, and to fight bacteria, fungi and viruses.\nResearchers have found that the practice of oil pulling reduces Streptococcus mutans and improves overall oral health. (14) While the study was relatively small and used sesame oil, one can assume with the known bacteria-fighting properties in coconut oil; the results would be similar or better.\nOf course, coconut oil can also be applied topically, with no adverse side effects, to soothe the scarlet fever rash. Use it as a carrier oil when applying tea tree oil or other essential oils for best results.\nTo fight bacteria and viruses effectively, our immune systems must be strong. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, vitamin C can boost immunity, alleviate dry mouth, and fight some viral conditions. (15)\nAs a scarlet fever treatment, increase consumption of vitamin C-rich foods including oranges, red bell peppers, kale, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, and if your natural health food store has it, guava, which contains more vitamin C, by far, than a large orange.\nWhen fighting a bacterial infection like scarlet fever, it is imperative that your lymphatic system is operating optimally. It is responsible for cleaning toxins out of your system. Lemon essential oil can improve blood flow and reduce swelling while you are fighting infections. Mix a few drops with a teaspoon of coconut oil and then soothe over the scarlet fever rash to aid in healing while easing the discomfort.\nLemon essential oil is used as a home remedy for strep throat too. To speed healing, add one to two drops of lemon essential oil to a glass of cool water and sip. You may add raw honey for further benefit, or use an herbal tea as a flavor boost. However, don\u2019t put it in hot or boiling water as the heat will adversely affect its healing powers.\nUsed as an immune system booster in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for thousands of years, astragalus fights inflammation, heals wounds, treats colds and the flu, all while boosting and regulating immune system response. (16) As a scarlet fever treatment, select a high-quality astragalus tincture and follow the recommended dosage on the packaging.\nOne of the many incredible byproducts from honey bees, propolis can be used topically and internally to treat the symptoms of scarlet fever rash. Propolis is made by the bees to protect their hives from infections that could kill the population. Research indicates that it demonstrates high antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, C. Albicans and Streptococcus mutans. (17)\nBee propolis as a treatment for scarlet fever can be taken internally. For adults, 500 milligrams twice a day is recommended; for children, follow the directions on the packaging. Typically, a dose of 250 mg to 375 mg is recommended for children under the age of 12.\nBy now everyone has heard that vitamin D deficiencies have reached pandemic levels, but what many people don\u2019t realize is the long-term health consequences of the deficiency. (18) A study published in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases states that there is a direct link between vitamin D deficiency and recurring group A streptococcal infections \u2014 including strep throat. (19)\nThe best way to increase levels of vitamin D in your body is to spend more time outdoors in the sunshine without sunscreen for 15\u201330 minutes each day. For those that can\u2019t get outside during the middle of the day when the sun is directly overhead, it is vital that you consume more vitamin D rich foods.\nApple cider vinegar (ACV) has been used to fight infections since the days of Hippocrates (460-377 BC). (20) For those with strep throat, gargling with apple cider vinegar can soothe the pain and discomfort while fighting the bacteria. Mix one teaspoon of ACV and one teaspoon of raw honey into a glass of warm water, and sip slowly. Repeat several times each day until the pain is gone.\nTo soothe a scarlet fever rash, mix two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar into two cups of cool water. Soak a washcloth in the mixture and apply to the rash. This is believed to help reduce inflammation and irritation by restoring the proper pH levels to your skin.\nWhile rare, long-term complications, some of which are serious, include: (21)\nPost-streptococcal glomerulonephritis, an inflammation of the kidneys\nRheumatic fever, an inflammatory disease that affects the brain, heart, skin and joints\nAbscesses in the throat\nSkin infections, including impetigo\nScarlet fever is a highly contagious infection caused by Group A Streptococcus bacteria, just like strep throat and impetigo. It most commonly affects children between the ages of five and 15-years old. However, anyone who is exposed can become infected.\nConventional treatment is oral antibiotics, and in some cases, an injection of antibiotics depending on the severity.\nNatural treatments for scarlet fever rash include tea tree oil, lemon essential oil, vitamin C, Manuka honey, astragalus root, bee propolis, vitamin D, apple cider vinegar, coconut oil and pink Himalayan salt.\nThe scarlet fever rash is rough, like sandpaper. Strep throat often accompanies scarlet fever; however, if tests for strep throat come back negative, additional tests will be conducted as serious medical conditions including infectious mononucleosis, Kawasaki disease, rubella and toxic shock syndrome.\nHelp prevent scarlet fever and other infections caused by streptococcus with good hygiene.\nRead Next: Natural Ear Infection Remedies",

        "raw_content": "Inner Self, 2013\nAnne-Sophie Guillet explores gender.\nIn our society, we have very specific expectations about the dichotomy of gender and the roles that each gender should adopt. However, this dichotomy is not an exclusive point of view. I attempt to question this hypothesis by making portraits of men and women whose identities slip out of the norms. Through these portraits, I try to show that there are several ways of living our lives as human beings.\n\u201cAnne-Sophie Guillet expresses her authentic sensitivity individually through her work, with her respective subject \u2013 namely l\u2019image de soi (images of the self).\nThe one-on-ones with Anne-Sophie Guillet\u2019s models reflect the young artist\u2019s interest in issued relating to identity and its construction. Having first been explored within her own family through a collection of archives, the notion if identification continues throughout the series of portraits entitled \u201dInner Self\u201d, this time in anonimity. Genealogy gives a way to singularity, an individuation that the first name of the person portrayed, revealed in the caption, represents. This information also raises doubt on the model\u2019s genre, sometimes leading to hesitation, reflecting the fact that the image of an individual may not reflect their inner being and may possibly evade them, while it may also represent the fruits of a codified and voluntary creation. The one-to-one that Anne-Sophie Guillet presents invites us to fully educate ourselves on the role, even the importance, of appearances in our relation to each other as much as to ourselves.\u201d \u2013 Danielle Leenaerts\nhttp://www.annesophieguillet.com/\nTags: Anne Sophie Guillet, art, documentary, gender, gender dichotomy, portraits",

        "raw_content": "Maryland Drug Detox\nLooking for a high-quality drug detox facility in Maryland for yourself or someone you love? We have a wealth of knowledge on substance detox and treatment facilities and can help you find the right program for you.\nOur drug detox specialists can help anyone take the first step toward recovery, whether their addiction is to heroin, cocaine, synthetic opioids like fentanyl, marijuana, synthetic cannabinoids or any combination or co-occurring problems.\nOne of the primary decisions, when you or your loved one chooses between drug detox facilities in Maryland, is deciding between inpatient and outpatient drug detox. Inpatient drug rehab programs offer the most intensive level of addiction treatment care with round-the-clock physical and emotional support from a professional medical staff in a safe and healthy residential facility. Outpatient addiction treatment programs offer patients a flexible schedule and high-level professional care for moderate substance abuse and addiction problems. Wherever you decide to get drug detox, the first step is making a choice!\nMaryland Treatment Facts\nPast Year Treatment for Illicit Drug Use Among Individuals Aged 12 or Older with Illicit Drug Dependence or Abuse in Maryland (Annual Average, 2010\u20132014)\nApproximately 8.8% of Maryland individuals aged 12 or older received treatment for alcohol use, abuse or dependence, higher than the national average of 7.3%\nApproximately 14.8% of Maryland individuals aged 12 or older received treatment for illicit drug use or dependence, similar to the national average of 14.1%\nApproximately 42.4% Maryland adolescents aged 12 to 17 received treatment for a major depressive episode (MDE), higher than the national average of 38.6%\nApproximately 42.4% of individuals from Maryland aged 18 or older received mental health treatment or counseling for any mental illness (AMI), similar to the national average of 42.7%\nMaryland Health Statistics\nThe Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DHMH) has been working to develop comprehensive services to meet the complex needs of every family or individual in Maryland with substance abuse, mental health or co-occurring problems.\nThe DHMH reported that drug and alcohol related deaths in Maryland have nearly doubled from 649 in 2010 to 1259 in 2015 and that 86% of those deaths were opioid-related. The most noticeable change in drug trends in Maryland is the sharp spike in fentanyl abuse, overdose and deaths that have increased from 58 overdose deaths in 2013 to over 340 overdose deaths in 2015. The DHMH also found that heroin was responsible for 58% of alcohol-related deaths and fentanyl was responsible for 21% of deaths.\nPast Year Illicit Drug Dependence or Abuse Among Individuals Aged 12 or Older in Maryland and the United States (2010\u20132011 to 2013\u20132014)\nApproximately 10.8% of Maryland youth aged 12 to 17 reported illicit drug use, slightly higher than the national average of 9.1%\nApproximately 4.2% of Maryland youth aged 12 to 17 reported cigarette use, lower than the national average of 5.2%\nApproximately 12.6% of Maryland youth aged 12 to 20 reported binge alcohol use, lower than the national average of 14%\nApproximately 4.6% of Maryland youth aged 12 to 17 reported nonmedical use of prescription pain relievers, similar to the national average of 4.7%\nApproximately 6.7% of individuals from Maryland aged 12 or older reported alcohol abuse or dependence, similar to the national average of 6.5 %\nApproximately 2.8% of individuals from Maryland aged 12 or older reported illicit drug abuse or dependence, similar to the national average of 2.6%\nApproximately 5.8% of individuals from Maryland aged 21 or older reported heavy alcohol use, slightly lower than the national average of 6.7%\nApproximately 11.3% of Maryland youth aged 12 to 17 reported experiencing a major depressive episode (MDE), similar to the national average of 11%\nApproximately 3.5% of individuals from Maryland aged 18 or older reported thoughts of suicide, slightly lower than the national average of 3.9%\nApproximately 3.3% of individuals from Maryland aged 18 or older reported a serious mental illness (SMI), slightly lower than the national average of 4.2%\nThe top drugs of abuse in Maryland are:\nIn 2012, Maryland established a state-regulated medical marijuana program that has yet to become fully functioning and as of 2016, possession and consumption have been decriminalized. One noticeable change over the past decade is the changing legality of marijuana and increasing potency of its psychoactive component, tetrahydrocannabinol or THC. Increased research, production and availability of medical and recreational marijuana products has led to the development of marijuana concentrates such as hash oil, marijuana wax and marijuana-infused edibles. The concentration of THC in marijuana and marijuana products has increased from .74% in 1975, 3.75% in 1995, 11.8% in 2014 all the way to 50 to 90% concentration in the last few years.\nSynthetic cannabinoids, known as \u201cK2\u201d and \u201cSpice,\u201d caused 160 hospitalizations in just two weeks in 2015 and are comprised of a chemical similar to THC, but are far more powerful and dangerous than marijuana or marijuana concentrates.\nThe Need for Drug Detox in Maryland\nIt is vital to make quality care and services available to any and all individuals in Maryland who need treatment for a chronic substance dependence and possibly co-occurring problems. Unfortunately, every year, thousands of individuals in Maryland continue to live with an active addiction and do not seek treatment.\nIn recent years, between 85 and 92% of individuals in Maryland aged 12 or older did not receive treatment for illicit drug or alcohol use, abuse or dependence. The process of overcoming drug or alcohol addiction is a lengthy and intensive process that requires endurance and patience from the addict as well as professional medical support. Around 57.6% of individuals in Maryland did not receive treatment for a major depressive episode or for any mental illness.\nDrug Detox Options in Maryland\nMaryland is one of the original Thirteen Colonies and one of the most densely populated states with around six million residents and is covered in forests and rivers. This gives patients the unique opportunity to detox and recover while they experience quiet life in the outdoors as well as the busy life near the nation\u2019s capitol. Though many detox and treatment facilities are located in Baltimore, there are many options located throughout the state that can accommodate you and your budget.",

After two successful years, in September of 2017 the team made the decision to end their journey (for now). The pod will be on display at the MIT museum starting this fall.\nHyperloop is a new paradigm of transportation proposed by Elon Musk in 2013. Cruising at 760 mph, Hyperloop is poised to revolutionize transportation. Travelling in an evacuated tube above the ground diminishes the drag force of atmospheric air and allows passenger travel at high velocity with low energy consumption.\nThe team of MIT students built a safe, scalable, and feasible pod for the SpaceX Hyperloop competition. At Competition Weekend in January 2017, the team finished among the final three teams, and was awarded 3rd Place in Design & Construction, and won the Safety & Reliability Award. MIT Hyperloop was also awarded 1st Place Overall at Design Weekend in January 2016.\nMIT is no stranger to advancing the technology frontier. The team shared a passion for solving complex problems through technology innovation, and has accepted the challenge of building the next generation transportation system.

        "raw_content": "Video: Tel Aviv exhibit features testimony by Nakba perpetrators\nCharlotte Silver Activism and BDS Beat 2 October 2012\nOn 2 October in Tel Aviv, the Israeli organization Zochrot will open its exhibit Towards a Common Archive, a showing that features more than thirty testimonies by Zionist perpetrators of the 1948 Nakba.\nFilmmaker Eyal Sivan and historian Ilan Pappe are curating the exhibit in conjunction with Zochrot, the only Israeli organization dedicated to remembering the expulsions and massacres in Palestine in 1948.\nAccording to Zochrot\u2019s website, the testimonies have been collected from interviews filmed specifically for this exhibit, in addition to \u201cclips from documentaries by Israeli filmmakers with fighters\u2019 testimonies, Nakba representations from feature films which constitute testimonies in their own right, [and] testimonies by second- and third-generation descendants of fighters.\u201d\nAlso screening at the exhibit will be a preview of the online \u201cCommon Archive for 1948 Palestine\u201d project, an additional undertaking led by Sivan.\nSivan\u2019s latter project was announced last year and has the increasingly urgent ambition to collect testimonies from the aging generation of the Haganah, Palmach, Irgun and Stern Gang \u2014 those Zionist militias that perpetrated the crimes that are today known collectively as the Nakba.\n\u201cI killed someone\u201d\nThe following testimony was given by Hava Keller, who enlisted in the Haganah in 1948 when she was a young teen. In her testimony, Keller describes how she oversaw the expulsion of Acre and how she thought the fleeing villagers would return.\nKeller also describes when she killed someone, \u201cOne of my worst memories was during the attack on Yehiam. And I killed someone. It was war and I acted exactly according to instructions. I waited until they arrived near the fence, then I shot and had tremendous luck, as he was killed on the spot. I think now, how would I have felt had he lay below my post for a few hours and screamed\u201d (9:30).\nZochrot\u2019s website features an excerpt from one of the filmed testimonies that will appear in the exhibit. A fighter in the Palmach-Yiftach brigade describes the Dahmash Mosque Massacre in Lydd, one of a series of expulsions and exterminations that together constitute the Nakba:\n\u201cThey found a little hole, 120 people snuffed it. One hundred and twenty people were in this mosque. This I knew. They talked about it. They fled to the mosque because they thought that was the safest place - that there they wouldn\u2019t kill them. Because they knew Israelis would not destroy a mosque.\u201d (sic)\nIn writing about the project, Sivan emphasizes that while the last decade has seen the significant emergence of Palestinian testimonies of the Nakba, those of the perpetrators themselves are missing. And with a Truth and Justice Committee unlikely to be established in the near or immediate future, recording these testimonies now is imperative to any effort to save truth and memory.\nThe Common Archive aims \u201cto create an audio-visual online archive of Jewish executor\u2019s testimonies of the 1948 crimes with cross references to testimonies of Palestinian refugees and other historical visual data (maps, photos, etc).\u201d\nEyal Sivan\u2019s project draws on the writing and words of Primo Levi, who in his meticulous documentation and recollection of his time in Nazi concentration camps resisted what he called the \u201cwar against memory\u201d waged by the Third Reich. (The Drowned and the Saved, 1986)\nLikewise, the State of Israel has aspired to erase the memory of the Nakba for its victims, what Ilan Pappe called \u201cmemoricide\u201d in The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine. Despite the Jewish National Fund\u2019s feverish planting of trees over the remains of emptied villages and \u2014more recently \u2014 the Knesset (Israel\u2019s parliament) and Israeli high court\u2019s desperate attack on any commemoration of the state\u2019s founding crime, the memory persists.\nSivan credits Levi with making a distinction between the witness and the survivor, a distinction that Sivan applies to remembering the Palestinian Nakba: \u201cThe primary witness of any war crime is the perpetrator himself or herself. Perpetrator\u2019s testimonies reveal the actions they committed, and the reasons they provided \u2014 or still provide \u2014 as a vindication of their criminal behavior,\u201d he writes on the project\u2019s description.\nSivan, an Israeli filmmaker who resettled in Paris in 1985, has made several documentaries about Palestine. His latest film, Jaffa, the Orange\u2019s Clockwork (2009) examines the appropriation of Palestine\u2019s fabled, luscious citrus fruits in Zionist discourse.\nThe exhibit will run until 31 December 2012 in Tel Aviv. More information on Zochrot\u2019s tours, testimonies and events can be read here.\nDahamsh Mosque Massacre\nJaffa, the Orange's Clockwork\nCommon Archive for 1948 Palestine\nIsrael's war crimes\nPermalink derrick gaskin replied on Tue, 10/02/2012 - 13:18\nThe expulsion of Palestinians from their own homeland at gunpoint and in many instances the ethnic cleansing of whole villages, elderly, babies, children women and unarmed men (massacres in other words) was a war crime, one which Israel actively pursues to this day, and one day will have to be paid for. Nazi war criminals were hunted down for decades, the same will happen to Jews who committed these horrific murders.\nSuch documentation is essential for a real debate\nLike the recent \"Breaking the Silence\" exhibition in Berlin, where some of the dreadful facts of the occupation were clearly and very courageously displayed by Israeli ex-soldiers who gave guided tours of the exhibtion, such work by Sivan and Pappe can only be welcomed.\nThere is nothing like the testimonies of the perpertrators to clear up the raging denials and justifications. It should be noted, however, that if Palestinians had created the same exhibition, it would not have been permitted (antisemitism!) or taken as seriously as this \"Breaking the Silence\".\nI hope it will be put online\nPermalink Fiona replied on Tue, 10/02/2012 - 21:06\nI hope it will be put online for those who cannot or will not travel to Israel.\nThe Nakba video project\nPermalink Benavram replied on Wed, 10/03/2012 - 01:47\nOn behalf of of all world citizens who cherish the heritage of prophetic, ethical Judaism, thank you for presenting the Nakba video. Zionism's monstrous crimes during its horrific, and too often psychopathic, assaults against unarmed elderly men, women and children during the rape of Palestine in1948 have been documented by Jewish authors such as Ralph Shoenman, Norman Finkelstein, Ilan Pappe, Gershom Gorenberg,Miko Peled,Henry Mankow,Shlomo Sand, etc. There is no shortage of Jewish citizens who painfully know that Zionism is not a synonym for prophetic Judaism. It is the opposite.",

        "raw_content": "\u201cWe\u2019ll be steadfast to our last breath\u201d: Moving video of Hebron teen murdered by Israeli soldier\nA video has emerged of Palestinian teen Muhammad al-Salaymeh, who was shot dead by an Israeli soldier in the occupied West Bank city of Hebron yesterday, his 17th birthday.\nThe video, posted on the Facebook page QNN, is of an earlier television encounter between Muhammad and his older brother Awad, banished to Gaza after his release from prison by Israel in October 2011 as part of a prisoner exchange.\nIn the video Awad and Muhammad chat. Awad says, \u201cMy brother Muhammad was born while I was in prison.\u201d And when the host asks Muhammad what he wishes for, the teen answers, \u201cI wish we could all be together, as one family, instead of separated.\u201d\nWhen asked what the situation was like near his home in Hebron, Muhammad answered, \u201cthere are always closures, but we are steadfast. We will never leave our house in which we were raised for years and generations, because we will be steadfast to our last breath, until we die.\u201d\nMuhammad\u2019s family home is in central Hebron, an area coveted and occupied by Israeli settlers who have steadily been driving Palestinian families out.\nToday dozens of Muhammad\u2019s schoolmates attended his funeral in Hebron. \u201cWe lost a friend, a brother, and a sporting hero,\u201d his friend Ahmad Al-Jamal told Ma\u2019an News Agency.\nVideo of murder scene\nAnother video, released by B\u2019Tselem, shows the harrowing immediate aftermath of Muhammad\u2019s shooting. There is a brief glimpse of Muhammad lying on the ground, distraught relatives screaming, with Israeli occupation forces present on the scene. Towards the end of the video medics can be seen attending to Muhammad as a voice calls for his father \u201cAbu Awad.\u201d\nIn the final moments of the video a man, possibly Abu Awad, is heard saying, \u201cibni, ibni,\u201d \u2013 \u201cMy son.\u201d\nMuhammad shot \u201cafter an exchange of words\u201d\nUpdated: 14 December\nThe Palestinian human rights group Al-Haq announced findings from a preliminary investigation into Muhammad\u2019s killing:\nThe circumstances of his death are currently unclear. However, according to Al Haq\u2019s preliminary investigations, Muhammad left his home yesterday evening at approximately 6:30 pm in order to buy a cake and passed by Checkpoint 160, which is some 100 meters from his house. When he passed the checkpoint, Muhammad was reportedly holding a lighter that resembled a gun, which aroused the suspicion of the Israeli soldiers manning the checkpoint and caused them to have an exchange of words with Muhammad. Following a discussion with the soldiers, Muhammad was shot twice, once in the abdomen and once in the chest, at a short range. Muhammad died around 7:30 pm as a result of the shooting.\nMuhammad al-Salaymeh\u2019s accused killer has been named in media reports as Nofar Mizrahi, 19, a member of the Israeli \u201cBorder Police,\u201d a unit of the occupation forces.\nMizrahi was quoted by The Jerusalem Post expressing that she was \u201chappy\u201d at the outcome and had no qualms or regrets about having killed al-Salaymeh even though he may have had a toy gun or nothing at all in his hands:\n\u201cIt didn\u2019t change it for me, because in those same moments you don\u2019t have time to think or be confused. For me it was a real pistol in every sense of the word pointed at my soldier and it\u2019s my responsibility to act, because if I don\u2019t kill him my friend will be killed, and I won\u2019t let this happen,\u201d said \u201cN\u201d on Thursday.\n\u201cAfter they investigated the incident it turned out it was a fake gun, but it didn\u2019t change how I felt about it. I\u2019m happy this ended with no injuries on our side and I\u2019m sure any other officer in my situation would have done what I did,\u201d she added.\nN said that she had only moments to react and instantly got in position, finding a clear line of fire before letting off three shots into al-Salaymeh.\nIsraeli soldiers recently told Israeli media they were frustrated that they could not shoot at Palestinians more freely.\nKillings of Palestinians by Israeli occupation forces are rarely subjects of credible investigations.\n\u201cUnfortunately this is not an isolated case,\u201d Al-Haq said, \u201cthe killings of Palestinian civilians, including children like Muhammad, are the result of the prevailing climate of impunity granted to Israeli soldiers, who are hardly ever held responsible for the violations committed against the Palestinian occupied population.\u201d\nMuhammad al-Salaymeh\nNofar Mizrahi\nPermalink Jerry J Moe replied on Fri, 12/14/2012 - 15:43\nThe Israeli story is not a fabrication, it is pure fantasy! Would an intelligent 17 year-old Palestinian boy REALLY approach a checkpoint full of trigger-happy killers with a TOY gun or a REAL one?\nmurder of palestinians by\nPermalink joe hendricks replied on Fri, 12/14/2012 - 17:05\nmurder of palestinians by israeli border police is common. this woman must be puinished\none day there will be justice\none day there will be justice in Palestine but that can only come after the removal of zionism from Palestine. In the meantime many more people will die at the hands of the zionist occupation forces. That's just the way it is right now!\nIs a Palestinian life worth nothing to them? Obvious racism..\n\"After they investigated the incident.. it didn\u2019t change how I felt about it. I\u2019m happy this ended with no injuries on our side..\" --> yes, no regrets over the loss of Palestinian life, because in many racist Israeli eyes that is not a loss at all!

        "raw_content": "The following information is accurate for the Asian elephant (Elephas maximus). African elephant varieties (Genus: Loxodonta) vary greatly from Asian elephants in many characteristics, such as size, shape, general appearance, and demeanor.\nELEPHANT CHARACTERISTICS\nAsian elephants are smaller than their African counterparts, though they can reach 6.4m in length, stand as tall as 3m at the shoulder, and weigh a colossal 5 tonnes!\nMale (bull) elephants tend to be larger than females (cows), with the latter weighing in at a maximum of around 4.5 tonnes.\nNewborn elephants (calves) generally weigh between 50-150kg.\nThe gestation period of elephants is approximately 2 years.\nCalves will typically stay with their mother (or a special \u2018Nanny\u2019 or \u2018Aunt\u2019 chosen by the mother in case of emergency) until they are around 4 years of age, when they will begin to act more independently.\nFemale elephants are more social than males, and they usually move in herds, with a clearly selected \u2018Alpha\u2019 who will lead the others.\nMales generally stay in the herd until around 13 years of age, when they will be excluded from the herd, living either alone or in a small group of males.\nElephants are considered fully-grown when they are around 17 years of age.\nElephants have a lifespan roughly equivalent to that of humans, and will usually live to around 70 years in the wild, though very healthy elephants have been known to live longer. Naturally, elephants kept in captivity and subjected to abuse, overwork, or poor diet tend to have greatly reduced lifespans.\nDiet and Behaviour:\nElephants eat a huge amount, needing to consume an average of 150kg of food each day just to survive! Larger elephants will eat much more, with some known to eat up to 300kg/day.\nThey also need to drink a great deal of water, with some estimating that each elephant must drink 150L per day.\nAn elephant\u2019s diet typically consists of a variety of jungle plants, fruits, and vegetables. Specifically, they enjoy such delicacies as bamboo shoots and leaves, rice, bananas, sugar cane, corn, tree bark, and jungle leaves.\nOnly 40-50% of the food elephants eat is successfully digested.\nAsian elephants usually sleep for a mere 4 hours at night, and spend most of the rest of their time eating in order to satisfy their enormous appetites.\nElephants are self-aware and highly intelligent. They exhibit human-like behaviour such as learning, mimicry, play, co-operation and the creation and use of tools.\nThey also experience a broad array of emotions, such as grief, happiness, and compassion.\nWild elephants bathe and will cover themselves and others in their herd with mud or dirt as a natural form of insect repellent and sunscreen.\nFemale Asian elephants typically either do not have tusks, or have very small tusks which are barely visible.\nMany males grow large tusks, but in certain areas in Asia the percentage of elephants who receive the hereditary tusk trait has been reduced to around 5% (This may be due to a history of excessive poaching of elephants for their ivory in these areas).\nTusks are used for a variety of tasks, including digging, removing bark from trees, protection for the trunk, as an offensive and defensive weapon, and to move fallen trees or branches.\nAsian elephant skin varies in thickness between 18mm-30mm depending on the area of the body, with the thickest skin at their rear.\nThe ears contain a very high number of blood vessels, and by waving their ears repeatedly in hot weather, elephants are able to slightly cool their body temperature.\nElephants have an excellent sense of smell, but they also use their trunks for many other purposes, such as breathing, drinking, eating, showing affection, washing, fighting, gripping, and sound communication.\nThe trunk contains up to 60,000 muscles, and can hold around 4 litres of water at any one time.\nSocial Structure and Emotional Capacity:\nElephants express an array of emotions and establish close family bonds. They play, fight, cry, greet one another, and show special concern for their young. Elephants exposed to extreme levels of stress and abuse have also exhibited signs of mental illness and behavioural dysfunction.\nElephants also mourn their dead, often grieving and gathering together to guard the bodies for days. They have even been known to \u2018bury\u2019 them with vegetation. In addition, they have been observed becoming highly agitated and showing great interest in the bones, skulls, and tusks of other, long-dead elephants.\nElephants are among the most intelligent animals on the planet. Their brains feature 300 billion neurons, as well as areas and general connectivity similar to human brains. Asian elephants display the largest volume of cerebral cortex available for cognitive processing of any land animal. They exhibit a wide array of behaviours and practices demonstrative of high levels of cognition, including many activitied typically primarily associated with human intelligence and morality, such as altruism.\nTool Use:\nElephants are highly skilled users of a variety of tools, both practiced and improvised. Older matriarchs teach younger elephants how to use sticks to swat flies from their bodies and to use scraps of vegetation to scratch themselves. Asian elephants have been observed utilising insightful and spontaneous problem solving abilities in order to attain food rewards during scientific testing. They have been demonstrated to be capable of moving objects and climbing them in order to reach food suspended at previously unattainable heights, and even to stack several smaller objects before climbing.\nAlthough it is not known whether elephants have the capacity to exhibit any true artistic ability, it is a common exploitative practice for them to be trained to paint at a highly skilled level. They are typically trained to paint for the entertainment of tourists at elephant shows, where the paintings are then sold for further profit. Usually, an elephant will be trained to draw a specific image, such as that of an elephant running, or a bunch of flowers. Such painting elephants are usually conditioned to respond to verbal commands, and they are also commonly taught to recognise directional movements and tugs on their ear, which correspond to individual brush strokes. The elephants\u2019 ability to hold (and make specific, delicate movements with) a paintbrush demonstrates the adaptability and dexterity of their trunks, as well as the power of their incredible memory and intelligence.\nLinguistic Skills and Communication Ability:\nDue to their highly social nature and remarkable intelligence, elephants have developed complex methods of communication involving multiple senses. They are known to communicate about their physiological and emotional states, as well as communicating specific statements regarding their intentions and desires, or stimuli considered threatening to themselves or their herd.\nAcoustically, elephants can create a broad array of sounds \u2013 at up to 112dB and which may vary in frequency over 4 octaves \u2013 including snorts, barks, roars, cries, and low-frequency growls. Asian elephants also have the unique ability to create a chirping noise. Incredibly, an Asian elephant named Koshik living in a South Korean zoo was recorded \u2018speaking\u2019 at least 5 distinct Korean words, including \u201cgood,\u201d \u201cno,\u201d \u201chello,\u201d and \u201csit down.\u201d Koshik developed unique methods of sound production and modulation in order to vocally mimic commands he frequently heard being used by his handler. In order to create the desired sounds \u2013 most of which elephants cannot naturally produce, such as human vowel sounds \u2013 Koshik found he could place the tip of his tongue into his mouth and move his lower jaw in a specific way.\nIn addition to acoustic communication, elephants also perform specific actions, move, and gesture with individual body parts in order to display a variety of intentions and communicate non-verbally. For instance, dominant elephants within a herd will display their status through the use of aggressive or confident body language, such as holding their head high on their shoulders and spreading their ears. Submissive elephants will hunch with their head held low and their ears pushed back. As well as instances of full-body communication, such as charging, elephants use individual body parts to send various messages and express emotion, pleasure/displeasure, or discomfort. These may include their heads, tails, trunks, ears, eyes, feet, mouth, and in the case of bull elephants, the tusks.\nElephants also employ a wide range of tactile, seismic, and even chemical communication methods.\nFor further information on both African and Asian elephant communication, specific details about the biological basis of their ability to communicate, and a fantastic database of various elephant calls, please visit: www.elephantvoices.org/elephant-communication\nDuring controlled experiments, Asian elephants have passed the \u2018mirror self-recognition\u2019 (MSR) test, which gauges self-awareness by determining whether an animal can recognize its own reflection in a mirror as an image of itself. This can accomplished by surreptitiously marking the animal with an odorless dye, and observing whether the animal reacts in a manner consistent with it being aware that the dye is located on its own body.\nSuch behaviour might include turning and adjusting of the body in order to better view the marking in the mirror, or poking at the marking on its own body with a finger \u2013 or in the case of an elephant, a trunk \u2013 while viewing the mirror. In one case, two crosses were painted on the head of an elephant (one using visible colour, and the other using a colourless dye, in order to account for factors such as odour and tactile sensation). While viewing itself in a mirror, the elephant was able to touch the coloured cross several times, while the invisible cross remained untouched. The small number of species to have passed the MSR mirror test include chimpanzees, bonobos, orangutans, dolphins, elephants, humans and Eurasian magpies.\n2 of the primary reasons for the endangered status of elephants:\nIllegal trade in ivory is still highly profitable and many merciless poachers hunt and kill elephants, remove the tusks and leave the bodies to rot just to make a profit. Ivory is the main reason for the dramatic decline in population from close to 10 million African elephants 100 years ago to less than half million African elephants today. Poaching has traditionally also been a severe problem in Thailand and other Asian countries, and strict penalties are now applied in an effort to deter poachers, and stabilise and maintain the declining elehant population. Sadly, if the current downward population trend continues, in less than 30 years elephants could become extinct. It is estimated that, while Asian elephants at the turn of the century numbered more than 100,000 in Thailand alone (and likely in the millions globally), the worldwide population has decreased to around 30,000. Of these, only 2500-4000 live in Thailand, and most of those live in captivity.\nHabitat loss occurs partially because human population is constantly increasing which leads to conflicts between elephants and humans, and this in most cases results in death of these majestic animals. Constant demand for land development for housing and agriculture to feed a growing population, as well as a constant demand for resources such as wood also play a major part in the destruction of elephants\u2019 natural habitat. An adult elephant consumes 140\u2013270kg of food a day (for an adult elephant, approximately 150kg/day is needed in order to simply survive), and the destruction of their territory results in less freely available food, which may lead to the starvation of many individuals. As more of their natural areas continue to be depleted, elephants are increasingly forced to fight for the small amount of food that happens to be present, and are often driven into villages and farmlands in an effort to eat at a subsistence level. Naturally, this causes conflicts with farmers and other people, who have been known to kill elephants foraging in their crops to preserve their livelihoods. Even though elephants can, and often do, travel large distances to find food, if they are deprived of a necessary amount for a significant length of time, they will become weak and become unable to travel.\nThe relationship between the Mahout and the Elephant\n\u2018Mahout\u2019 is a widespread term for an elephant caretaker, a profession and lifestyle which is representative of an ancient and sacred relationship between humans and elephants, developed over the course of the past 1300 years. \u2018Mahout\u2019 comes from the Hindi word mahaut, meaning \u201celephant driver.\u201d Usually, a mahout starts as a boy in the \u2018family profession\u2019 when he is assigned an elephant early in its life. The relationship between mahout and elephant develops over time into a strong and loving bond, and often lasts the entire life of both of them, as an elephant\u2019s life expectancy is approximately the same as that of a human.\nMahouts must learn to control their elephant to ensure the safety of themselves, the elephant, and other humans and elephants around them. Mahouts traditionally employ a few different tools, besides training their elephant to obey over 40 verbal commands, to control their elephant. Mahouts\u2019 use of the bull hook is as ancient as their relationship with the elephant. This traditional tool serves to touch pressure points in order to direct the elephant and can be compared to a riding stick used with horses. While it can be used excessively and inappropriately (at some low-quality elephant camps, for example), it is not typically used with the intention to cause harm. At Elephant Jungle Sanctuary, we do not believe that the use of a bull hook is necessary, particularly because we do not force our elephants to commit any unnatural behaviours.\nAlthough it is difficult to know the exact population of the Karen people, it is estimated that there are approximately 7 million Karen people living in northern Thailand and southern Myanmar, of which at least 300000 (potentially as many as 1000000+) reside in Thailand. They speak a different language to Thai (although many are now fluent in Thai and even English), and live mainly in the mountainous regions of Northern Thailand, far from the major cities. The areas in which they live are typically natural elephant habitats. Elephant Jungle Sanctuary and people of the Karen hill-tribes have something of a symbiotic relationship, and it is only with their partnership and co-operation that we are able to offer a truly ethical elephant tourism experience, as well as protect the remaining elephant habitats and preserve the elephant population in Thailand.",

        "raw_content": "(Via Labicana Augustus)\nThe Pontifex Maximus or pontifex maximus (Latin, \"greatest priest\"[1][2][3]) was the chief high priest of the College of Pontiffs (Collegium Pontificum) in ancient Rome. This was the most important position in the ancient Roman religion, open only to patricians until 254 BC, when a plebeian first occupied this post. A distinctly religious office under the early Roman Republic, it gradually became politicized until, beginning with Augustus, it was subsumed into the Imperial office. Its last use with reference to the emperors is in inscriptions of Gratian[4] (reigned 375\u2013383) who, however, then decided to omit the words \"pontifex maximus\" from his title.[5][6] Although in fact the most powerful office of Roman priesthood, the pontifex maximus was officially ranked fifth in the ranking of the highest Roman priests (ordo sacerdotum), behind the rex sacrorum and the flamines maiores (Flamen Dialis, Flamen Martialis, Flamen Quirinalis).[7]\nThe word \"pontifex\" and its derivative \"pontiff\" later became terms used for Catholic bishops,[8] including the Bishop of Rome,[9][10] and the title of \"Pontifex Maximus\" was applied within the Catholic Church to the Pope as its chief bishop and appears on buildings, monuments and coins of popes of Renaissance and modern times. The official list of titles of the Pope given in the Annuario Pontificio includes \"Supreme Pontiff\" (in Latin, Summus Pontifex) as the fourth title, the first being \"Bishop of Rome\".[11].\nThe etymology of \"pontifex\" is uncertain, and has been since Roman times. The word appears to consist of the Latin word for \"bridge\" and the suffix for \"maker\". However, there is a possibility that this definition is a folk etymology for an Etruscan term,[6] since Roman religion was heavily influenced by Etruscan religion, and very little is known about the Etruscan language, which is not Indo-European.\nAccording to the common interpretation, the term pontifex means \"bridge-builder\" (pons + facere); \"maximus\" means \"greatest\". This was perhaps originally meant in a literal sense: the position of bridge-builder was indeed an important one in Rome, where the major bridges were over the Tiber, the sacred river (and a deity): only prestigious authorities with sacral functions could be allowed to \"disturb\" it with mechanical additions. However, it was always understood in its symbolic sense as well: the pontifices were the ones who smoothed the \"bridge\" between gods and men[12].\nThe interpretation of the word pontifex as \"bridge-builder\" was that of Dionysius of Halicarnassus and Marcus Terentius Varro. Plutarch pointed out that the term existed before there were any bridges in Rome and derived the word from Old Latin pontis (sic) meaning a powerful or absolute master, while others derived it from potis facere in the sense of \"able to sacrifice\".[13] The last derivation is mentioned also by Varro, who rejected it,[14] but it was the view of Pontifex Maximus Quintus Scaevola.[15] Others have held that the word was originally pompifex (leader of public processions).[15] The word pons originally meant \"way\" and pontifex would thus mean \"maker of roads and bridges\".[15]\nAnother opinion is that the word is a corruption of a similar-sounding but etymologically unrelated Etruscan word.[16] Yet another hypothesis[17] considers the word as a loan from the Sabine language, in which it would mean a member of a college of five, from Osco-Umbrian ponte, five.[18] This explanation takes into account the fact that the college was established by Sabine king Numa Pompilius and the institution is Italic: the expressions pontis and pomperias found in the Iguvine Tablets may denote a group or division of five or by five. The pontifex would thence be a member of a sacrificial college known as pomperia (Latin quinio).[19]\nThe Roman title \"Pontifex Maximus\" was rendered in Greek inscriptions and literature of the time as \"\u1f00\u03c1\u03c7\u03b9\u03b5\u03c1\u03b5\u03cd\u03c2\" (literally, \"high priest\"|)[20] or by a more literal translation and order of words as \"\u1f00\u03c1\u03c7\u03b9\u03b5\u03c1\u03b5\u1f7a\u03c2 \u03bc\u03ad\u03b3\u03b9\u03c3\u03c4\u03bf\u03c2\" (literally, \"greatest high priest\".[21] The term \"\u1f00\u03c1\u03c7\u03b9\u03b5\u03c1\u03b5\u03cd\u03c2\" is used in the Septuagint text of the Old Testament and in the New Testament to refer to the Jewish high priest, also in 2Mac 4, 7.\nOrigins in the Regal periodEdit\nThe Collegium Pontificum (College of Pontiffs) was the most important priesthood of ancient Rome. The foundation of this sacred college and the office of Pontifex Maximus is attributed to the second king of Rome, Numa Pompilius.[22] Much of what is known about the Regal period in Roman history is semi-legendary or mythical. The Collegium presumably acted as advisers to the rex (king) in religious matters. The collegium was headed by the pontifex maximus, and all the pontifices held their office for life. But the pontifical records of early Rome were most likely destroyed when the city was sacked by the Gauls in 387 BCE, and the earliest accounts of Archaic Rome come from the literature of the Republic, most of it from the 1st century BC and later.\nAccording to the Augustan-era historian Livy, Numa Pompilius, a Sabine, devised Rome's system of religious rites, including the manner and timing of sacrifices, the supervision of religious funds, authority over all public and private religious institutions, instruction of the populace in the celestial and funerary rites including appeasing the dead, and expiation of prodigies. Numa is said to have founded Roman religion after dedicating an altar on the Aventine Hill to Jupiter Elicius and consulting the gods by means of augury.[22] Numa wrote down and sealed these religious instructions, and gave them to the first Pontifex Maximus, Numa Marcius.\nRoman RepublicEdit\nSee also: List of Pontifices Maximi and College of Pontiffs\nIn the Roman Republic, the Pontifex Maximus was the highest office in the state religion of ancient Rome and directed the College of Pontiffs. According to Livy, after the overthrow of the monarchy, the Romans created the priesthood of the rex sacrorum, or \"king of sacred rites,\" to carry out certain religious duties and rituals previously performed by the king. The rex sacrorum was explicitly deprived of military and political power, but the pontifices were permitted to hold both magistracies and military commands.[23]\nThe official residence of the Pontifex Maximus was the Domus Publica (\"State House\") which stood between the House of the Vestal Virgins and the Via Sacra, close to the Regia, in the Roman Forum. His religious duties were carried out from the Regia. Unless the pontifex maximus was also a magistrate at the same time, he was not allowed to wear the toga praetexta, i.e. toga with the purple border. In artistic representations, he can be recognized by his holding an iron knife (secespita)[6] or the patera,[24] and the distinctive robes or toga with part of the mantle covering the head (capite velato), in keeping with Roman practice.\nThe Pontifex was not simply a priest. He had both political and religious authority. It is not clear which of the two came first or had the most importance. In practice, particularly during the late Republic, the office of Pontifex Maximus was generally held by a member of a politically prominent family. It was a coveted position mainly for the great prestige it conferred on the holder; Julius Caesar became pontifex in 73 BC and pontifex maximus in 63 BCE.\nThe major Republican source on the pontiffs would have been the theological writings of Varro, which survive only in fragments preserved by later authors such as Aulus Gellius and Nonius Marcellus. Other sources are Cicero, Livy, Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Valerius Maximus, Plutarch's Life of Numa Pompilius, Festus' summaries of Verrius Flaccus, and in later writers, including several of the Church Fathers. Some of these sources present an extensive list of everyday prohibitions for the Pontifex Maximus; it seems difficult to reconcile these lists with evidence that many Pontifices Maximi were prominent members of society who lived normal, non-restricted lives.\nElection and numberEdit\nThe number of Pontifices, elected by co-optatio (i.e. the remaining members nominate their new colleague) for life, was originally five, including the pontifex maximus.[4][6] The pontifices, moreover, could only come from the old nobility, the patricians. However, in 300\u2013299 BCE the lex Ogulnia opened the office of Pontifex Maximus to public election and permitted the plebs (plebeians) to be co-opted as priests, so that part of the exclusivity of the title was lost. But it was only in 254 BCE that Tiberius Coruncanius became the first plebeian Pontifex Maximus.[25]\nThe lex Ogulnia also increased the number of pontiffs to nine (the pontifex maximus included). In 104 BCE the lex Domitia prescribed that the election of all pontiffs would henceforward be voted by the comitia tributa (an assembly of the people divided into voting districts); by the same law only 17 tribes, chosen by lot from the 35 tribes of the city, could vote. The law's promulgator, L[ucius] Domitius Ahenobarbus, was shortly afterwards elected Pontifex Maximus after the death of the incumbent Metellus Dalmaticus: Something of a personal revenge because, the previous year, he had expected to be co-opted as a pontiff to replace his late father, but the pontifical college had appointed another candidate in his place. The office's next holder, Q[uintus] Mucius Scaevola, was also elected under the same law, though without controversy or opposition since he was a former consul and long-serving pontiff.\nThis law was abolished in 81 BCE by Sulla in his dictatorship, in the lex Cornelia de Sacerdotiis, which restored to the great priestly colleges their full right of co-optatio.[26][27][28] Also under Sulla, the number of pontifices was increased to fifteen, the pontifex maximus included, and Sulla nominated Quintus Caecilius Metellus Pius as the next holder of the office \u2013 the only truly unelected Pontifex Maximus in history, since even the other pontiffs did not get a vote in the matter.\nIn 63 BC, the law of Sulla was abolished by the tribune Titus Labienus, and a modified form of the lex Domitia was reinstated providing for election by comitia tributa once again: Gaius Julius Caesar followed Ahenobarbus's precedent by being elected by public vote, although Caesar at least had previously been a pontiff. Marcus Antonius later restored the right of co-optatio to the college[29], in time for the election of Marcus Aemilius Lepidus. Also under Julius Caesar, the number of pontifices were increased to sixteen, the pontifex maximus included. (Possibly because Caesar's own long absences from Rome necessitated the appointment of a deputy pontiff for those occasions when fifteen needed to be present?) The number of pontifices varied during the Empire but is believed to have been regular at fifteen.[4]\nExtraordinary appointment of dictatorsEdit\nThe office came into its own with the abolition of the monarchy, when most sacral powers previously vested in the King were transferred either to the Pontifex Maximus or to the Rex Sacrorum, though traditionally a (non-political) dictator[30] was formally mandated by the Senate for one day, to perform a specific rite.\nAccording to Livy in his \"History of Rome\", an ancient instruction written in archaic letters commands: \"Let him who is the Praetor Maximus fasten a nail on the Ides of September.\" This notice was fastened up on the right side of the Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus, next to the chapel of Minerva. This nail is said to have marked the number of the year.\nIt was in accordance with this direction that the consul Horatius dedicated the Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus in the year following the expulsion of the kings; from the Consuls the ceremony of fastening the nails passed to the Dictators, because they possessed greater authority. As the custom had been subsequently dropped, it was felt to be of sufficient importance to require the appointment of a Dictator. L[ucius] Manlius was accordingly nominated but his appointment was due to political rather than religious reasons. He was eager to command in the war with the Hernici. He caused a very angry feeling among the men liable to serve by the inconsiderate way in which he conducted the enrollment. At last, in consequence of the unanimous resistance offered by the tribunes of the plebs, he gave way, either voluntarily or through compulsion, and laid down his Dictatorship. Since then, this rite has been performed by the Rex Sacrorum.[31]\nThe main duty of the Pontifices was to maintain the pax deorum or \"peace of the gods.\"[32][33][34]\nThe immense authority of the sacred college of pontiffs was centered on the Pontifex Maximus, the other pontifices forming his consilium or advising body. His functions were partly sacrificial or ritualistic, but these were the least important. His real power lay in the administration of ius divinum or divine law;[35] the information collected by the pontifices related to the Roman religious tradition was bound in a corpus which summarized dogma and other concepts. The chief departments of jus divinum may be described as follows:\nThe regulation of all expiatory ceremonials needed as a result of pestilence, lightning, etc.\nThe consecration of all temples and other sacred places and objects dedicated to the gods.\nThe regulation of the calendar; both astronomically and in detailed application to the public life of the state.\nThe administration of the law relating to burials and burying-places, and the worship of the Manes or dead ancestors.\nThe superintendence of all marriages by conferratio, i.e. originally of all legal patrician marriages.\nThe administration of the law of adoption and of testamentary succession.\nThe regulation of the public morals, and fining and punishing offending parties.\nThe pontifices had many relevant and prestigious functions such as being in charge of caring for the state archives, the keeping the official minutes of elected magistrates[36] and list of magistrates, and they kept the records of their own decisions (commentarii) and of the chief events of each year, the so-called \"public diaries\", the Annales maximi.[37]\nThe Pontifex Maximus was also subject to several taboos. Among them was the prohibition to leave Italy. Plutarch described Publius Cornelius Scipio Nasica Serapio (141\u2013132 BCE) as the first to leave Italy, after being forced by the Senate to do so, and thus break the sacred taboo. Publius Licinius Crassus Dives Mucianus (132\u2013130 BCE) was the first to leave Italy voluntarily. Afterwards it became common and no longer against the law for the Pontifex Maximus to leave Italy. Among the most notable of those who did was Julius Caesar (63\u201344 BCE).\nDenarius depicting Julius Caesar as Pontifex Maximus\nThe Pontifices were in charge of the Roman calendar and determined when intercalary months needed to be added to synchronize the calendar to the seasons. Since the Pontifices were often politicians, and because a Roman magistrate's term of office corresponded with a calendar year, this power was prone to abuse: a Pontifex could lengthen a year in which he or one of his political allies was in office, or refuse to lengthen one in which his opponents were in power. This caused the calendar to become out of step with the seasons; for example, Caesar's crossing of the Rubicon in January 49 BCE actually took place in mid-autumn.\nUnder his authority as Pontifex Maximus, Gaius Julius Caesar introduced the calendar reform that created the Julian calendar, with a fault of less than a day per century, and which remained the standard till the Gregorian reform in the 16th century. His reform also made 46 BCE 445 days long - not coincidentally, it was the year of Julius's third consulship.\nAfter Julius Caesar's assassination in 44 BCE, his ally Marcus Aemilius Lepidus was selected as Pontifex Maximus. Though Lepidus eventually fell out of political favor and was sent into exile as Augustus consolidated power, he retained the priestly office until his death in 13 BCE, at which point Augustus was selected to succeed him and given the right to appoint other pontifices. Thus, from the time of Augustus, the election of pontifices ended and membership in the sacred college was deemed a sign of imperial favour.[6] With this attribution, the new office of Emperor was given a religious dignity and the responsibility for the entire Roman state cult. Most authors contend that the power of naming the Pontifices was not really used as an instrumentum regni, an enforcing power.\nFrom this point on, Pontifex Maximus was one of the many titles of the Emperor, slowly losing its specific and historical powers and becoming simply a referent for the sacral aspect of imperial duties and powers. During the Imperial period, a promagister (vice-master) performed the duties of the pontifex maximus in lieu of the emperors whenever they were absent[12].\nIn post-Severan times (after 235 CE), the small number of pagan senators interested in becoming pontiffs led to a change in the pattern of office holding. In Republican and Imperial times no more than one family member of a gens was member of the College of Pontiffs, nor did one person hold more than one priesthood in this collegium. However, these rules were obviously loosened in the later part of the 3rd century A.D. In periods of joint rule, at first only one of the emperors bore this title, as it occurred for the first time during the reign of Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus, when only Marcus Aurelius was pontifex maximus, but later two pontifices maximi could serve together, as Pupienus and Balbinus did in 238 A.D.\u2014a situation unthinkable in Republican times.\nIn the crisis of the Third Century, usurpers did not hesitate to claim for themselves the role not only of Emperor but of Pontifex Maximus as well. Even the early Christian Emperors continued to use it; it was only relinquished by Gratian, possibly in 376 A.D. at the time of his visit to Rome,[12] or more probably in 383 when a delegation of pagan senators implored him to restore the Altar of Victory in the Senate House.[38] A more recent article suggests that the title may have kept by Gratian and even accepted by Theodosius and Valentian.[39]\nTradition of sovereign as high priestEdit\nMain article: Caesaropapism\nThe practice of religious and secular authority united in the sovereign has a long history. In ancient Athens, the Archon basileus was the principal religious dignitary of the state; according to legend, and as indicated in his title of \"Basileus\" (meaning \"king\"), he was supposed to inherit the religious functions of the king of Athens in earlier times.[40]\nEastern traditions, from the ancient Egyptian to the Japanese, carried the concept even further, according their sovereigns demigod status.\nWith the adoption of Christianity, the Roman emperors took it on themselves to issue decrees on matters regarding the Christian Church. Unlike the Pontifex Maximus, they did not themselves function as priests, but they acted practically as head of the official religion, a tradition that continued with the Byzantine Emperors. In line with the theory of Moscow as the Third Rome, the Russian Tsars exercised supreme authority over the Russian Orthodox Church.\nWith the English Reformation, the sovereign of England became Supreme Governor of the Church of England and insisted on being recognised as such. Much the same occurred in other countries affected by the Protestant Reformation.\nEven in countries where there was no formal break with the Holy See, various sovereigns assumed similar authority. An example is Joseph II, Holy Roman Emperor, whose ecclesiastical policy is described in the Catholic Encyclopedia (1913) article on him.[41]\nCatholic Church use of the titleEdit\nEngraving by Christoph Weigel the Elder of Pope Clement XI, giving him the title Pontifex Maximus\nWhen Tertullian, a Montanist, furiously applied the term to some bishop with whom he was at odds (either Pope Callixtus I or Agrippinus of Carthage),[42][43] c 220, over a relaxation of the Church's penitential discipline allowing repentant adulterers and fornicators back into the Church, it was in bitter irony:\nIn opposition to this [modesty], could I not have acted the dissembler? I hear that there has even been an edict sent forth, and a peremptory one too. The \"Pontifex Maximus,\" that is the \"bishop of bishops,\" issues an edict: \"I remit, to such as have discharged [the requirements of] repentance, the sins both of adultery and of fornication.\" O edict, on which cannot be inscribed, \"Good deed!\"... Far, far from Christ's betrothed be such a proclamation!\n\u2014\u2009 Tertullian, On Modesty ch. 1\nThe last traces of Emperors being at the same time chief pontiffs are found in inscriptions of Valentinian I, Valens, and Gratian (Orelli, Inscript. n1117, 1118). From the time of Theodosius I (r 379\u2013395), the emperors no longer appear in the dignity of pontiff, but the title was later applied to the Christian bishop of Rome.[44] In 382, the Emperor Gratian, at the urging of Ambrose, removed the Altar of Victory from the Forum, withdrew the state subsidies that funded many pagan activities and formally renounced the title of Pontifex Maximus.[45]\nGate to the Vatican inscribed Benedictus XVI Pont[ifex] Max[imus] Anno Domini MMV Pont[ificatus] I (\"Benedict XVI, Supreme Pontiff, in the year of Our Lord 2005, in the first year of his pontificate\")\nIn the 15th century, when the Renaissance stirred up new interest in ancient Rome, \"Pontifex Maximus\" became a regular title of honour for Popes.[46]\nWhile the title Pontifex Maximus has for some centuries been used in inscriptions referring to the Popes, it has never been included in the official list of papal titles published in the Annuario Pontificio.\nThe title of \"Pontifex Maximus\" thus has a very ancient history, dating back to the times of the Roman Republic, but it does not predate the word \"pope\" itself (in Greek, \"\u03c0\u03ac\u03c0\u03c0\u03b1\u03c2\"), which is found already in the time of Homer as a name used by a child for addressing a father.[47] This title likewise is not included in the official list of his titles, but is used in official documents such as the headings of encyclicals and similar documents, while the title \"Pontifex Maximus\" appears in inscriptions on buildings and on coins and medallions.\nPapal coin of Pius VI from the 1700s, with the title Pontifex Maximus on the reverse\nPontifexEdit\nSee also: Pontiff \u00a7 Catholicism\nThe word pontifex, Latin for \"pontiff\", was used in ancient Rome to designate a member of the College of Pontiffs. In the Vulgate translation of the New Testament, it is sometimes used to designate the Jewish high priest, as in John 11:49 and Hebrews 5:1. From perhaps as early as the 3rd century, it has been used to denote a bishop, not exclusively the bishop of Rome. The name given to the book containing the liturgical rites to be performed by any bishop, The Roman Pontifical, and to the form of liturgy known as Pontifical High Mass witness to the continued use of pontifex in this wide sense.\nIn Emperor Theodosius's edict De fide catholica of 27 February 380, enacted in Thessalonica and published in Constantinople for the whole empire, by which he established Catholic Christianity as the official religion of the empire, he referred to the western Bishop of Rome, Damasus, as a pontifex, while calling the eastern Bishop of Alexandria, Peter, an episcopus:[48]\n... the profession of that religion which was delivered to the Romans by the divine Apostle Peter, as it has been preserved by faithful tradition and which is now professed by the Pontiff Damasus and by Peter, Bishop of Alexandria ... We authorize the followers of this law to assume the title Catholic Christians ...[49]\nIn December 2012 Pope Benedict XVI adopted @pontifex as his Twitter handle,[50] prompting users to pose questions with the #askpontifex hashtag.[51][52] This has been maintained by his successor Pope Francis, who now uses it as his Twitter handle.[53]\nSummus pontifexEdit\nVarious forms of summus pontifex (highest pontiff or bishop) were for centuries used not only of the Bishop of Rome but of other bishops also. Hilary of Arles (d. 449) is styled summus pontifex by Eucherius of Lyons (P. L., L, 773), and Lanfranc is termed primas et pontifex summus by his biographer, Milo Crispin (P. L., CL, 10. The term was originally applied to the High Priest of Israel (cf. Judith 15:9 in the Vulgate), whose place the Christian bishops were regarded as holding each in his own diocese (I Clement 40), but from the 11th century it appears to be applied only to the Pope.[54]\nThe official list of titles of the Pope given in the Annuario Pontificio includes \"Supreme Pontiff of the whole Church\" (in Latin, Summus Pontifex Ecclesiae Universalis) as the fourth title, the first being \"Bishop of Rome\".\nCollege of Pontiffs\n^ Harper's Dictionary of Classical Antiquities, s. v.

        "raw_content": "Hayesville, Oregon\nLocation of Hayesville, Oregon\nHayesville is a census-designated place and unincorporated community in Marion County, Oregon, United States, just outside the city limits of Salem but within the city's urban growth boundary.[4] It is part of the Salem Metropolitan Statistical Area. For statistical purposes, the United States Census Bureau has defined Hayesville as a census-designated place (CDP). The census definition of the area may not precisely correspond to local understanding of the area with the same name. The population of the CDP was 18,222 at the 2000 census.\nHayesville is the home of Chemeketa Community College's main campus.\nAccording to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 3.9 square miles (10 km2), all of it land.[1]\nAs of the census[2] of 2000, there were 18,222 people, 6,655 households, and 4,631 families residing in the CDP. The population density was 4,635.7 people per square mile (1,790.2/km\u00b2). There were 6,951 housing units at an average density of 1,768.3/sq mi (682.9/km\u00b2).

        "raw_content": "(Redirected from V2G)\nVehicle-to-grid (V2G) describes a system in which plug-in electric vehicles, such as battery electric vehicles (BEV), plug-in hybrids (PHEV) or hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV), communicate with the power grid to sell demand response services by either returning electricity to the grid or by throttling their charging rate.[1][2][3] V2G storage capabilities can also enable EVs to store and discharge electricity generated from renewable energy sources such as solar and wind, with output that fluctuates depending on weather and time of day.[4]\nV2G can be used with gridable vehicles, that is, plug-in electric vehicles (BEV and PHEV), with grid capacity. Since at any given time 95 percent of cars are parked, the batteries in electric vehicles could be used to let electricity flow from the car to the electric distribution network and back. A 2015 report on potential earnings associated with V2G found that with proper regulatory support, vehicle owners could earn $454, $394, and $318 per year depending on whether their average daily drive was 32, 64, or 97 km (20, 40, or 60 miles), respectively.[5]\nBatteries have a finite number of charging cycles, as well as a shelf-life, therefore using vehicles as grid storage can impact battery longevity. Studies that cycle batteries two or more times per day have shown large decreases in capacity and greatly shortened life. However, battery capacity is a complex function of factors such as battery chemistry, charging and discharging rate, temperature, state of charge and age. Most studies with slower discharge rates show only a few percent of additional degradation while one study has suggested that using vehicles for grid storage could improve longevity.[6]\nSometimes the modulation of charging of a fleet of electric vehicles by an aggregator to offer services to the grid but without actual electrical flow from the vehicles to the grid is called unidirectional V2G, as opposed to the bidirectional V2G that is generally discussed in this article.[7][8] The company AC Propulsion coined the term V2G for vehicle-to-grid.[9]\n1.1 Peak load leveling\n1.2 Backup power\n3 Implementation by country\n4.1 Edison\n4.2 Southwest Research Institute\n4.3 Delft University of Technology\n4.4 University of Delaware\n4.5 Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory\n4.6 Nissan and Enel\n4.7 University of Warwick\nPeak load leveling[edit]\nThe concept allows V2G vehicles to provide power to help balance loads by \"valley filling\" (charging at night when demand is low) and \"peak shaving\" (sending power back to the grid when demand is high, see duck curve). Peak load leveling can enable new ways for utilities to provide regulation services (keeping voltage and frequency stable) and provide spinning reserves (meet sudden demands for power). In current development, it has been proposed that such use of electric vehicles could buffer renewable power sources such as wind power, for example, by storing excess energy produced during windy periods and providing it back to the grid during high load periods, thus effectively stabilizing the intermittency of wind power. Some see this application of vehicle-to-grid technology as an approach to help renewable energy become a base load electricity technology.\nIt has been proposed that public utilities would not have to build as many natural gas or coal-fired power plants to meet peak demand or as an insurance policy against power outages.[10] Since demand can be measured locally by a simple frequency measurement, dynamic load leveling can be provided as needed.[11] Carbitrage, a portmanteau of 'car' and 'arbitrage', is sometimes used to refer to the minimum price of electricity at which a vehicle would discharge its battery.[12]\nBackup power[edit]\nModern electric vehicles can generally store in their batteries more than an average home's daily energy demand. Even without a PHEV's gas generation capabilities such a vehicle could be used for emergency power for several days (for example, lighting, home appliances, etc.). This would be an example of Vehicle-to-home transmission (V2H). As such they may be seen as a complementary technology for intermittent renewable power resources such as wind or solar electric. Hydrogen FCEVs with tanks containing up to 5.6 kg of hydrogen can deliver more than 90 kWh of electricity.[13]\nAny energy conversion has losses due to the laws of thermodynamics. Lower losses mean higher Energy conversion efficiency. Most modern battery electric vehicles use lithium-ion cells that can achieve round-trip efficiency greater than 90%.[14] The efficiency of the battery depends on factors like charge rate, charge state, battery state of health, and temperature.[15][16]\nThe majority of losses, however, are in system components other than the battery. Power electronics, such as inverters, typically dominate overall losses.[17] A study found overall round-trip efficiency for V2G system in the range of 53% to 62%'.[18] Another study reports an efficiency of about 70%.[19] The overall efficiency however depends on several factors and can vary widely.[17]\nImplementation by country[edit]\nThis section reads like a press release or a news article or is largely based on routine coverage or sensationalism. Please expand this article with properly sourced content to meet Wikipedia's quality standards, event notability guideline, or encyclopedic content policy. (September 2018)\nA study conducted in 2012 by the Idaho National Laboratory[20][dead link] revealed the following estimations and future plans for V2G in various countries. It is important to note that this is difficult to quantify because the technology is still in its nascent stage, and is therefore difficult to reliably predict adoption of the technology around the world. The following list is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather to give an idea of the scope of development and progress in these areas around the world.\nPJM Interconnection has envisioned using US Postal Service trucks, school buses and garbage trucks that remain unused overnight for grid connection.[citation needed] This could generate millions of dollars because these companies aid in storing and stabilizing some of the national grid's energy. The United States was projected to have one million electric vehicles on the road between 2015 and 2019. Studies indicate that 160 new power plants will need to be built by 2020 to compensate for electric vehicles if integration with the grid does not move forward.[citation needed]\nIn North America, at least two major school-bus manufacturers\u2014Blue Bird and Lion\u2014are working on proving the benefits of electrification and vehicle-to-grid technology. As school buses in the U.S. currently use $3.2B of diesel a year, their electrification can help stabilize the electrical grid, lessen the need for new power plants, and reduce kids\u2019 exposure to cancer-causing exhaust.[21]\nAt the University of California San Diego, V2G technology provider Nuvve is executing a pilot program called INVENT, funded by the California Energy Commission to install 50 V2G bi-directional charging stations around the campus[22]. The program recently expanded to include a fleet of EVs for its free nighttime shuttle service, Triton Rides[23].\nIn order to meet the 2030 target of 10 percent of Japan's energy being generated by renewable resources, a cost of $71.1 billion will be required for the upgrades of existing grid infrastructure. The Japanese charging infrastructure market is projected to grow from $118.6 million to $1.2 billion between 2015 and 2020.[citation needed] Starting in 2012, Nissan plans to bring to market a kit compatible with the LEAF EV that will be able to provide power back into a Japanese home. Currently, there is a prototype being tested in Japan. Average Japanese homes use 10 to 12 KWh/day, and with the LEAF's 24 KWh battery capacity, this kit could potentially provide up to two days of power.[citation needed] Production in additional markets will follow upon Nissan's ability to properly complete adaptations.\nIn November 2018 in Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture, Toyota Tsusho Corporation and Chubu Electric Power Co., Inc initiated charging and discharging demonstrations with storage batteries of electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles using V2G technology. The demonstration examines how to excel the ability of V2G systems to balance demand and supply of electricity is and what impacts V2G has on the power grid. In addition to ordinary usage of EVs/PHVs such as by transportation, the group is producing new values of EVs/PHVs by providing V2G services even when EVs/PHVs are parked. Two bi-directional charging stations, connected to a V2G aggregation server managed by Nuvve Corporation, have been installed at a parking lot in Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture to conduct the demonstration test. The group aims to assess the capacity of EVs/PHVs to balance out demand and supply of electrical power by charging EVs/PHVs and supplying electrical power to the grid from EVs/PHVs.[24]\nDenmark currently[when?] is a world leader in wind power generation. Initially, Denmark's goal is to replace 10% of all vehicles with PEVs, with an ultimate goal of a complete replacement to follow. The Edison Project implements a new set of goals that will allow enough turbines to be built to accommodate 50% of total power while using V2G to prevent negative impacts to the grid. Because of the unpredictability of wind, the Edison Project plans to use PEVs while they are plugged into the grid to store additional wind energy that the grid cannot handle. Then, during peak energy use hours, or when the wind is calm, the power stored in these PEVs will be fed back into the grid. To aid in the acceptance of EVs, policies have been enforced that create a tax differential between zero emission cars and traditional automobiles. The Danish PEV market value is expected to grow from $50 to $380 million between 2015 and 2020. PEV developmental progress and advancements pertaining to the use of renewable energy resources will make Denmark a market leader with respect to V2G innovation (ZigBee 2010).\nFollowing the Edison project, the Nikola project was started[25] which focused on demonstrating the V2G technology in a lab setting, located at the Ris\u00f8 Campus (DTU). DTU is a partner along with Nuvve and Nissan. The Nikola project completed in 2016, laying the groundwork for Parker, which uses a fleet of EVs to demonstrate the technology in a real-life setting. This project is partnered by DTU,[26] Insero, Nuvve, Nissan and Frederiksberg Forsyning (Danish DSO in Copenhagen). Besides demonstrating the technology the project also aims to clear the path for V2G-integration with other OEMs as well as calculating the business case for several types of V2G, such as Adaptive charging, overload protection, peak shaving, emergency backup and frequency balancing. In the project the partners explored the most viable commercial opportunities by systematically testing and demonstrating V2G services across car brands. Here, economic and regulatory barriers were identified as well as the economic and technical impacts of the applications on the power system and markets.[27] The project started in August 2016 and ended in September 2018.\nThe V2G market in the UK will be stimulated by aggressive smart grid and PEV rollouts. Starting in January 2011, programs and strategies to assist in PEV have been implemented. The UK has begun devising strategies to increase the speed of adoption of EVs. This includes providing universal high-speed internet for use with smart grid meters, because most V2G-capable PEVs will not coordinate with the larger grid without it. The \"Electric Delivery Plan for London\" states that by 2015, there will be 500 on-road charging stations; 2,000 stations off-road in car parks; and 22,000 privately owned stations installed. Local grid substations will need to be upgraded for drivers who cannot park on their own property. By 2020 in the UK, every residential home will have been offered a smart meter, and about 1.7 million PEVs should be on the road. The UK's electric vehicle market value is projected to grow from $0.1 to $1.3 billion between 2015 and 2020 (ZigBee 2010).\nIn 2018, EDF Energy announced a partnership with a leading green technology company, Nuvve, to install up to 1,500 Vehicle to Grid (V2G) chargers in the UK. The chargers will be offered to EDF Energy\u2019s business customers and will be used at its own sites to provide up to 15 MW of additional energy storage capacity. That\u2019s the equivalent amount of energy required to power 4,000 homes. The stored electricity will be made available for sale on the energy markets or for supporting grid flexibility at times of peak energy use. EDF Energy is the largest electricity supplier to UK businesses and its partnership with Nuvve could see the largest deployment of V2G chargers so far in this country. [28]\nEdison[edit]\nDenmark's Edison project, an abbreviation for 'Electric vehicles in a Distributed and Integrated market using Sustainable energy and Open Networks' was a partially state funded research project on the island of Bornholm in Eastern Denmark. The consortium of IBM, Siemens the hardware and software developer EURISCO, Denmark's largest energy company \u00d8rsted (formerly DONG Energy), the regional energy company \u00d8stkraft, the Technical University of Denmark and the Danish Energy Association, explored how to balance the unpredictable electricity loads generated by Denmark's many wind farms, currently generating approximately 20 percent of the country's total electricity production, by using electric vehicles (EV) and their accumulators. The aim of the project is to develop infrastructure that enables EVs to intelligently communicate with the grid to determine when charging, and ultimately discharging, can take place.[29] At least one rebuild V2G capable Toyota Scion will be used in the project.[30] The project is key in Denmark's ambitions to expand its wind-power generation to 50% by 2020.[31] According to a source of British newspaper The Guardian 'It's never been tried at this scale' previously.[32] The project concluded in 2013.[33]\nSouthwest Research Institute[edit]\nIn 2014, Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) developed the first vehicle-to-grid aggregation system qualified by the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT). The system allows for owners of electric delivery truck fleets to make money by assisting in managing the grid frequency. When the electric grid frequency drops below 60 Hertz, the system suspends vehicle charging which removes the load on the grid thus allowing the frequency to rise to a normal level. The system is the first of its kind because it operates autonomously.[34]\nThe system was originally developed as part of the Smart Power Infrastructure Demonstration for Energy Reliability and Security (SPIDERS) Phase II program, led by Burns and McDonnell Engineering Company, Inc. The goals of the SPIDERS program are to increase energy security in the event of power loss from a physical or cyber disruption, provide emergency power, and manage the grid more efficiently.[35] In November 2012, SwRI was awarded a $7 million contract from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to demonstrate the integration of vehicle-to-grid technologies as a source for emergency power at Fort Carson, Colorado.[36] In 2013, SwRI researchers tested five DC fast-charge stations at the army post. The system passed integration and acceptance testing in August 2013.[37]\nDelft University of Technology[edit]\nProf. Dr. Ad van Wijk, Vincent Oldenbroek and Dr. Carla Robledo, researchers at Delft University of Technology, in 2016 conducted research on V2G technology with hydrogen FCEVs. Both experimental work with V2G FCEVs and techno-economic scenario studies for 100% renewable integrated energy and transport systems are done, using only hydrogen and electricity as energy carriers.[38] They modified a Hyundai ix35 FCEV together with Hyundai R&D so it can deliver up to 10 kW DC Power[3] while maintaining road access permit. They developed together with the company Accenda b.v. a V2G unit converting the DC power of the FCEV into 3-phase AC power and injecting it into the Dutch national electricity grid.[3] The Future Energy Systems Group also recently did tests with their V2G FCEVs whether it could offer frequency reserves. Based on the positive outcome of the tests an MSc thesis was published looking into the technical and economic feasibility assessment of a hydrogen and FCEV based Car Park as Power Plant offering frequency reserves.[39]\nUniversity of Delaware[edit]\nDr. Willett Kempton, Dr. Suresh Advani, and Dr. Ajay Prasad are the researchers at the US University of Delaware who are currently conducting research on the V2G technology, with Dr. Kempton being the lead on the project. Dr. Kempton has published a number of articles on the technology and the concept, many of which can be found on the V2G project page.[40] The group is involved in researching the technology itself as well as its performance when used on the grid. In 2010, Willet Kempton co-founded Nuvve, where he currently serves as CTO, with Gregory Poilasne, who currently serves as CEO. The Company has formed a number of industry partnerships and implemented V2G pilot projects on five continents worldwide.[41]\nIn addition to the technical research, the team has worked with Dr. Meryl Gardner, a Marketing professor in the Alfred Lerner College of Business and Economic at the University of Delaware, to develop marketing strategies for both consumer and corporate fleet adoption.[42] A 2006 Toyota Scion xB car was modified for testing in 2007.[43]\nLawrence Berkeley National Laboratory[edit]\nAt Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Dr. Samveg Saxena currently serves as the project lead for Vehicle-to-Grid Simulator (V2G-Sim).[44] V2G-Sim is a simulation platform tool used to model spatial and temporal driving and charging behavior of individual plug-in electric vehicles on the electric grid. Its models are used to investigate the challenges and opportunities of V2G services, such as modulation of charging time and charging rate for peak demand response and utility frequency regulation. V2G-Sim has also been used to research the potential of plug-in electric vehicles for renewable energy integration. Preliminary findings using V2G-Sim have shown controlled V2G service can provide peak-shaving and valley-filling services to balance daily electric load and mitigate the duck curve. On the contrary, uncontrolled vehicle charging was shown to exacerbate the duck curve. The study also found that even at 20 percent fade in capacity, EV batteries still met the needs of 85 percent of drivers.[45]\nIn another research initiative at Lawrence Berkeley Lab using V2G-Sim, V2G services were shown to have minor battery degradation impacts on electric vehicles as compared to cycling losses and calendar aging.[46] In this study, three electric vehicles with different daily driving itineraries were modelled over a ten-year time horizon, with and without V2G services. Assuming daily V2G service from 7PM to 9PM at a charging rate of 1.440 kW, the capacity losses of the electric vehicles due to V2G over ten years were 2.68%, 2.66%, and 2.62%.\nNissan and Enel[edit]\nIn May 2016, Nissan and Enel power company announced a collaborative V2G trial project in the United Kingdom, the first of its kind in the country.[47] The trial comprises 100 V2G charging units to be used by Nissan Leaf and e-NV200 electric van users. The project claims electric vehicle owners will be able to sell stored energy back to the grid at a profit.\nOne notable V2G project in the United States is at the University of Delaware, where a V2G team headed by Dr. Willett Kempton has been conducting on-going research.[40] An early operational implementation in Europe was conducted via the German government-funded MeRegioMobil project at the \"KIT Smart Energy Home\" of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in cooperation with Opel as vehicle partner and utility EnBW providing grid expertise.[48] Their goals are to educate the public about the environmental and economic benefits of V2G and enhance the product market.[40] Other investigators are the Pacific Gas and Electric Company, Xcel Energy, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, and, in the United Kingdom, the University of Warwick.[49]\nUniversity of Warwick[edit]\nWMG and Jaguar Land Rover collaborated with the Energy and Electrical Systems group of the university. Dr Kotub Uddin analysed lithium ion batteries from commercially available EVs over a two year period. He created a model of battery degradation and discovered that some patterns of vehicle-to-grid storage were able to significantly increase the longevity of the vehicle's battery over conventional charging strategies, while permitting them to be driven in normal ways. [50]\nThere is some skepticism among experts about the feasibility of V2G and several studies have questioned the concept's economic rationale. For example, a 2015 study[51] found that economic analyses favorable to V2G fail to include many of the less obvious costs associated with its implementation. When these less obvious costs are included, the study finds that V2G represents an economically inefficient solution.\nIn 2007 an Environmental Defense representative stated: \"It\u2019s hard to take seriously the promises made for plug-in hybrids with 30 miles (48 km) all-electric range or any serious V2G application any time soon. It\u2019s still in the science project stage.\"[49] Most of skepticism comes from the cost of battery cycling and the dubious economics of V2G.[49]\nThe more a battery is used the sooner it needs replacing. Replacement cost is approximately 1/3 the cost of the electric car.[52] Over their lifespan, batteries degrade progressively with reduced capacity, cycle life, and safety due to chemical changes to the electrodes. Capacity loss/fade is expressed as a percentage of initial capacity after a number of cycles (e.g., 30% loss after 1,000 cycles). Cycling loss is due to usage and depends on both the maximum state of charge and the depth of discharge.[53] JB Straubel, CTO of Tesla Inc., discounts V2G because battery wear outweighs economic benefit. He also prefers recycling over re-use for grid once batteries have reached the end of their useful car life.[54] A 2017 study found decreasing capacity,[55][56] and a 2012 hybrid-EV study found minor benefit.[57]\nAnother common criticism is related to the overall efficiency of the process. Charging a battery system and returning that energy from the battery to the grid, which includes \"inverting\" the DC power back to AC inevitably incurs some losses. This needs to be factored against potential cost savings, along with increased emissions if the original source of power is fossil based. This cycle of energy efficiency may be compared with the 70\u201380% efficiency of large-scale pumped-storage hydroelectricity,[58] which is however limited by geography, water resources and environment.\nThere are several electric vehicles that have been modified or are design to be compatible with V2G. Hyundai ix35 FCEV from Delft University of Technology is modified with a 10 kW DC V2G output.[13] Some vehicles that have V2G capability include the REV 300 ACX,[citation needed] the Boulder Electric Vehicle 500 series and 1000 series trucks,[citation needed] the ACPropulsion T-Zero, E-box and MINI-E,[citation needed] the Nissan Leaf and Nissan e-NV200.[59] The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV has a Vehicle To Home system in Japan that is also planned for roll out in Europe.[citation needed]\nLoad balancing (electrical power)\nOperating reserve\nPeaking power plant\nSolid-state battery\n^ Cleveland, Cutler J.; Morris, Christopher (2006).

        "raw_content": "Virtual reality is beginning to be embraced by some of the world\u2019s leading companies as a powerful sales tool to sell both their products and services. It enables companies to give potential clients a unique opportunity to experience and better understand their product or service, before they make a decision to buy. With ENGAGE, bespoke virtual versions of your products can be developed, based on your specifications and requirements. In addition, corporate sales presentations can be created, streamed and re-used, while remote team members can be invited to join your sales sessions.\nSales teams are beginning to realise the power of VR\n\"Virtual demonstrations are helping companies to sell everything from construction equipment to medical services. As the hardware becomes more and more affordable, this type of selling will undoubtedly gain further traction. Sales teams are beginning to realise the power of VR and how it can be used to achieve their goals inside and out of the boardroom.\"\nCEO of Immersive VR Education\nSell Case Study\nSales can be an expensive, time-consuming aspect of every business. However, it is also essential. Sales professionals travel regularly to deliver strong and impressionable presentations, and can experience issues with flight disruptions, train delays, and technical issues along the way. These challenges can have huge cost implication to a company. Finding a way to overcome these challenges is critical.\nENGAGE offers a solution to get your sales teams in front of a client, without the added expense of flights and hotels. Having a solution that gives corporate prospects a firsthand experience of how your product or service works is critical.\nBy utilising the ENGAGE platform, businesses like yours have the opportunity to import a model of your product into an environment of your choice. This means you have an opportunity to demonstrate how it works, what it looks like (in a virtual setting of your choice) and how it could benefit your prospect. Imagine if the product you are selling is on a massive industrial scale. This gives your prospect the opportunity to view something up-close and personal. In addition, you can remove a lot of additional costs by not requiring every member to be in the room during the time of the meeting.\nWhat\u2019s important is that the client gets a feel for the product on offer and also gets to meet the entire team. Meetings will be booked quicker as there is no need to worry about schedules. It\u2019s as simple as organising a Skype call. This means more meetings can be booked and more demonstrations can be achieved, at less cost to the company.",

        "raw_content": "Vienna,\t16 March 2012\t: Bill guarantee ceiling increased to EUR 1 billion Fekter: \"Export trade and SMEs are the engine of the economy\"\nAs a part of Austria \u2019s policy of promoting export trade, the Austrian Federal Ministry of Finance (FMF) has increased the ceiling on bill guarantees for its export fund by EUR 100 million, to a total of EUR 1 billion, thus opening the 'door' on the export fund just a bit wider. \"In this way we enable even more small- and medium-sized enterprises to make use of export fund loans. Particularly in periods of economic downturns, it is important to supply liquidity to SMEs\", Austrian Finance Minister Dr. Maria Fekter emphasised.\nThe goal of the export fund is to furnish credit lines to export-sector SMEs in order to provide them with financing for their export-related receivables and contracts. This will more easily tide them over during production phases and periods when they are awaiting payment from customers. Export fund loan financing may be obtained for up to 30% of annual export revenues. However, the export fund clients (of whom there are just under 1,600) are not only from the manufacturing sector, they also include service providers. What this means is that planning and engineering firms, hotels, IT companies and many more may benefit from export fund loans.\nIn light of the changes in the level of domestic manufacturing by the Austrian manufacturing sector in recent years, the maximum permitted share of offshore manufacturing was increased to 75%. What this means is that even more companies now have easier access to export fund loans. The support of the FMF means that the export fund is a reliable partner to export-sector SMEs, including in uncertain economic times. \"Small- and medium-sized businesses have a major impact on economic stability and are fundamental drivers of our economic structure. Precisely for this reason, in challenging times such as the ones we currently are experiencing, it is important to strengthen the hand of these businesses\", Austrian Finance Minister Dr. Fekter stated in closing.",

        "raw_content": "Vol. 3, No. 3, BOOK REVIEWS, Keith W. TAYLOR\nVietnam: State, War, and Revolution (1945\u20131946)\nBerkeley: University of California Press, 2013, xix+721p.\nDavid Marr\u2019s scholarship, which has spanned almost half a century, has had a great influence upon the direction of Vietnamese studies. We are all in his debt for showing what can be done by careful archival research and for making his findings accessible to people interested in Vietnam. His books have become the foundation of scholarship on modern Vietnamese history in the English language and have had a great influence upon work published in all other languages as well, including Vietnamese. Whatever the criticisms that might be made of his work, including mine in this review, they take nothing away from his monumental achievement in bringing historical knowledge about the modern Vietnamese into readable books.\nMarr\u2019s first monograph, Vietnamese Anticolonialism, 1885\u20131925 (1971) was written in wartime with an agenda of asserting a theme of heroic, albeit unsuccessful, Vietnamese resistance to French colonialism in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to explain why US policy was doomed, thus providing a scholarly blessing to the anti-war viewpoint of that time; it was suffused with an approbation of a certain kind of nationalism as a legitimizing historical force, which was a dominant academic perspective in the 1960s and 1970s. As Marr states in his Preface (p. xv), his \u201cfundamental assumption . . . is that one cannot understand resistance efforts in Vietnam in more recent times without going back at least to 1885.\u201d The concept of \u201cresistance\u201d is important in all of Marr\u2019s books, which to him means resistance to the non-revolutionary mainstream of Vietnamese nationalism.\nMarr\u2019s second book, Vietnamese Tradition on Trial, 1920\u20131945 (1981), revealed the lively intellectual life of educated Vietnamese during the late French colonial period. It provided inspiration for a generation of young scholars of modern Vietnamese history that came of age in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and it has proven to be the most influential of Marr\u2019s books.\nIn his last two books, Marr has focused on what he sees as the centerpiece of modern Vietnamese history, the August Revolution of 1945. In Vietnam 1945 (1995) he takes readers through the events leading up to the August Revolution and the declaration of independence announced in Hanoi on September 2, 1945. Vietnam: State, War, and Revolution (1945\u20131946), according to Marr in his Preface (p. xv), \u201cfocuses on events of the next sixteen months, when Vietnam\u2019s future course was largely determined.\u201d This statement comes immediately after Marr notes the difference between the August Revolution in Hanoi and in Saigon: \u201cone orderly, one anarchic, [which] showed how the popular upheavals of August could propel Vietnam in starkly different directions.\u201d Here we find an implicit contradiction between north and south going in \u201cstarkly different directions\u201d while there is but one \u201cfuture course\u201d that was \u201clargely determined\u201d for \u201cVietnam\u201d; the implication is that the south had fallen out of the logic governing Vietnamese history.\nThe strength of this book is the depth of detail with which it describes how state and party structures were built from the enthusiasm of the August Revolution in northern Vietnam during 1945 and 1946. However, Marr presents this structure as the predetermined \u201cfuture course\u201d of \u201cVietnam.\u201d He has no discernible interest in the many Vietnamese who did not agree with this future course and were prepared to resist it, for they, from Marr\u2019s perspective, did not represent \u201cVietnam,\u201d being dupes, wittingly or not, of foreign powers.\nMarr\u2019s hardening of focus from \u201cVietnamese\u201d in his first two books to \u201cVietnam\u201d in his last two books suggests a bias in legitimizing a particular scheme of state formation. I do not mean to imply that there is anything objectionable about this, but it cannot but be obvious that the general direction of this interpretive strategy is to scrape away a large number of Vietnamese from the bailiwick of \u201cVietnam,\u201d or, at least, to render them into some kind of lessor category of membership in the thing called \u201cVietnam.\u201d\nMarr appears to address this issue on the last page of his Epilogue, where he wrote;\nFrom the point of view of many Vietnamese, the pro-American Republic of Vietnam was the insurgent threat, not the DRV or the National Front for the Liberation of South Vietnam. No CIA-initiated program, be it \u201ccivic action,\u201d \u201ccensus grievance,\u201d \u201ccounterterror,\u201d or \u201cpolitical action,\u201d managed to overcome this liability. Washington then escalated to search-and-destroy operations, forced urbanization, and bombing the north, greatly increasing the human toll but not reversing the underlying political dynamics. (p. 578)\nIn this thumb-nail narrative of the 1960s, Marr\u2019s \u201cmany Vietnamese\u201d represent \u201cthe underlying political dynamics\u201d that no amount of CIA and Washington policies could overcome, putting us back into the framework of Marr\u2019s first book. Marr is not interested in the \u201cmany Vietnamese\u201d who resisted the vision that the DRV (Democratic Republic of Vietnam)/National Front for the Liberation of South Vietnam had for the future of their country; he denies them any legitimate right to have a voice about how to organize the state. For Marr, any Vietnamese who oppose his \u201cmany Vietnamese\u201d are simply an \u201cinsurgent threat\u201d to his \u201cVietnam\u201d; they are \u201cpro-American\u201d in a sense that Marr neglects to compare with the pro-Soviet or pro-PRC \u201cmany Vietnamese\u201d of his \u201cVietnam.\u201d He denies his \u201cpro-American\u201d non-many Vietnamese any agency, attributing his scare quoted phrases to foreign meddlers. At most, this is an exuberant view of \u201cunderlying political dynamics\u201d in a determinist version of history. At least, this is a one-sided, exclusionary view of the Vietnamese.\nThe degree to which this book is based on archival materials is remarkable and praiseworthy, which for some may also be a limitation in the sense that it tends to read like a transcription of research notes. Aside from scattered comments, there is little analytical development, nor is there a chronological narrative enabling a sense of the actual flow and logic of events as they happened; what we have is a topical organization of archival debris that has survived from events, along with an implication that this allows us to see how a structure of state authority was built in the wake of a revolution.\nMany passages are a survey of archival materials on a particular topic. For example, the section entitled \u201cImporting Marxism-Leninism\u201d (pp. 490\u2013492) provides no explanation of the significance of the topic and ends abruptly with a non sequitur. This is typical of many sections in the book. Other passages are a miscellaneous accumulation of bits and pieces of information gleaned from the archives. It is a pleasure for people like myself to savor these details, but for students or general readers who lack a mental context for appreciating the author\u2019s prowess as an archivist it may come across as a jumble.\nA strength of this format, as others have noted, is that it suggests a contingency of events beyond the guidance or control of the communist leadership, which goes against the grain of a previous widespread assumption, nurtured by ICP (Indochinese Communist Party) historians, that the August Revolution and its sequel was the result of an almost omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent group of men led by Ho Chi Minh. Yet, one aspect of the book is the degree to which Marr appears to buy into Ho Chi Minh\u2019s cult of \u201cUncle Ho.\u201d\nOn page 265, Marr says \u201cHo\u2019s subsequent actions\u201d following his return from France in October 1946 \u201csuggest that he retained a multilateral view of the world until 1949.\u201d Earlier in the same paragraph Marr says that any retention of a multilateral view of the world was purely tactical. The \u201csubsequent actions\u201d are not cited or explained. Mention of the year 1949 implies that once the Chinese communists arrived on the Vietnamese border it was they who set the agenda of the Vietnamese revolution and forced Ho Chi Minh out of his \u201cmultilateral view.\u201d\nSimilarly, on page 453, Marr mentions \u201ccertain operational advantages\u201d in dissolving the ICP, then follows this up with: \u201cBeyond that, I doubt that Ho wanted an ICP dictatorship anytime soon.\u201d Marr\u2019s doubt about what Ho may or may not have wanted \u201cany time soon\u201d is obscure if not na\u00efve.\nThis solicitous care for nurturing a benevolent image for Uncle Ho is extended to the ICP leadership more generally on page 497, describing a time in late 1946: \u201cThe most senior members of the ICP did not believe in proletarian dictatorship for Vietnam any time soon.\u201d The twice-repeated \u201cany time soon\u201d formula lacks clarity.\nOn the next page (p. 498), Marr goes even further to say \u201cBefore 1945, the ICP might be compared with the very early Christian church, constantly under threat, necessarily clandestine.\u201d This remarkable \u201cmight be\u201d comparison reveals a neglect of the ICP\u2019s international connections and both actual and potential sources of external support, something unavailable to \u201cthe very early Christian church.\u201d Where Marr is going with his comparison, his suggestion, his doubt, his any-time-soon becomes apparent at the end of the paragraph: \u201cAlong the way, Truong Chinh became a separate pole of power from President Ho Chi Minh\u201d (p. 498). What this actually means is vague, but it strongly implies that Truong Chinh was as much or more in the driver\u2019s seat of the state as was Ho Chi Minh and thus shared or even bore most responsibility for unsavory aspects of the Vietnamese revolutionary path. The idea of Truong Chinh being the scapegoat taking away any possible sins that might accrue to Uncle Ho is not new, but it has yet to be proven and Marr provides no evidence for it, being content to simply say that it is something that happened \u201calong the way.\u201d Without evidence it can be no more than an effort to keep a clean slate for Uncle Ho.\nOn page 533, Marr makes an important and revealing statement in reference to DRV calculations of literacy instruction in 1946: \u201cThis sort of pseudo-scientific precision with big numbers became common in the DRV, sometimes making it impossible for decision makers to distinguish wish from reality.\u201d Here, the archivist\u2019s suspicion of big precise numbers opens a small ray of light upon dissonance between the wishes of his many Vietnamese and the reality they inhabited. Yet, the vague plural expression \u201cdecision makers,\u201d given the context of the book, allows Marr to spread responsibility for the unrealistic policies, the murders, and the acts of injustice committed by revolutionaries, to all levels of decision-making, down to the local self-appointed operatives who were out of the ICP\u2019s control. Marr does not shy away from the bloody-mindedness of many who followed the revolution, but he implies that it still represented a more legitimate \u201cVietnam\u201d than any other that he can imagine.\nNevertheless, this is a good book, full of information to delight specialists of modern Vietnamese history. Marr\u2019s work during the past half-century has transformed the study of Vietnamese history, showing that the Vietnamese have participated in the modern world with the full force of their aspirations for betterment. His years spent in the archives have not been in vain. His books are a great benefit for other scholars, and this book brings us into the details of government activity in the DRV during 1945 and 1946 as no other scholar has been able to do.\nKeith W.

        "raw_content": "by Kevin Bonsor & Joe Martin\nBaseball Offense\nBraves outfielder Andruw Jones rounds third base.\nPhoto courtesy Atlanta Braves\nOn the offensive side of the game, there are two types of players -- the hitter and the base runner. Once the hitter makes contact with the ball and gets a hit, he becomes a base runner and must safely reach each base in succession. The ultimate goal of each offensive player is to make his way around the bases and cross home plate, thereby scoring a run.\nWhen a hitter is at the plate, he is considered to be at bat. During an at bat, the pitcher of the opposing team throws the ball to the catcher, and the hitter tries to hit the ball with the bat before it reaches the catcher. Each throw is called a pitch. A pitch can be either a ball or a strike. (The umpire is the judge of whether a pitch is a ball or a strike.)\nA ball is a pitch that is out of the strike zone, which is an imaginary rectangular box that typically runs the width of the plate and from the hitter's chest to his knees. A strike is a ball that goes through the strike zone and is not hit by the hitter. A strike can be a ball outside of the strike zone if the hitter swings and misses. If a player hits a ball that goes into foul territory and is not caught by a fielder before it touches the ground, it is also counted as a strike -- except when the batter already has two strikes. A batter with two strikes can hit the ball into foul territory indefinitely without striking out. However, a ball caught in foul territory is scored an out.\nDuring an at bat, a hitter may do one of several actions, including:\nWalk - When the pitcher throws four balls before throwing three strikes, the hitter gets a free base.\nHit by pitch - A hitter that is struck with a pitch is awarded first base.\nSingle - The hitter hits the ball into play far enough to get to first base.\nDouble - The hitter hits the ball into play far enough to get to second base.\nTriple - The hitter hits the ball into play far enough to get to third base.\nHome run - The hitter hits the ball over the outfield wall between the foul poles and is awarded a free trip around the bases, or the hitter hits the ball far enough that he or she has time to run all the bases. The hitter must run around the bases and touch home plate for the home run to count.\nFielder's choice - A hitter makes contact with the ball, but only reaches base because a fielder chose to throw out another runner.\nError - A hitter makes contact with the ball and only reaches base because a fielder misplays the ball.\nA runner must go around the bases in order, starting with first base. He then goes to second, third, and finally home. A base runner can advance in one of several ways. He can be advanced by another player's hit or by a hitter being walked, or he can steal a base. To steal a base, the runner starts running from one base to another before the at-bat player gets a hit or a walk, and makes it to the base without getting tagged out. If a runner veers outside of the base path, the umpire calls him out. The umpire decides how far outside the base path is too far.\nAt the end of all the scheduled innings, the team that has scored the most runs is declared the winner. If the home team is ahead after the top of that inning, the home team wins the game and does not have to complete the inning. However, if the teams are tied after nine innings, they continue to play until one team has more runs than the other. Keep in mind that the home team always has the chance to bat last.\nThe Hardest Task in Sports\nEven the best batters in Major League Baseball today get a hit only about 38 percent of the time at best. Most players only get a hit 25 percent of the time. Why are such poor numbers considered successful, or at least adequate? It is because hitting a small sphere moving at 90+ miles per hour (145+ kph) with a round stick is the hardest thing to do in sports?\nAccording to Robert Adair, author of \"The Physics of Baseball,\" a baseball thrown at 95 mph (153 kph) reaches home plate in 0.4 seconds. In that split second, a batter must determine where the ball is and where it will be when it reaches home plate. He then must swing the bat so that it connects with the ball at the exact moment the ball reaches home plate.\nThe task of hitting a ball is made even more difficult because pitchers have developed special pitches to deceive batters. There are changeup pitches, which is when the pitch appears to be faster than it is. A curveball is, as it sounds, a ball that curves in toward or away from the batter. A third deceptive pitch is the slider that comes in like a straight fastball, but then suddenly drops down a few inches.\nAll of these factors combine to make hitting the ball a very difficult task.",

        "raw_content": "How Backgammon Works\nHow to Play Backgammon: How Checkers Move\nAfter you set up the board, you're ready to start a game. To see who goes first, each player rolls a single die. The person with the higher number goes first, using the number on his die and the number on his opponent's. If both people roll the same number, they try again until someone scores higher.\nSome quick notes about rolling before continuing: If you're playing with folks who are serious about their backgammon, you must use a shaker each time you roll. You place both dice in the shaker, give it a good shake and then release the dice into the right-hand side of the backgammon board. This convention holds even if you're left-handed. You must re-roll if either die fails to land in the right-hand side of the board. You must also re-roll if either die comes to rest on a checker, leans at an angle or gets stuck in the shaker.\nOnce you get a successful throw of the dice, you're ready to start dominating. The numbers on the dice indicate how many points, or pips, you can move your checkers. The checkers always head from higher-numbered points to lower-numbered points according to the following rules:\nYou can only move a checker to an open point. An open point may have no checkers, only your checkers or one opposing checker. You can't move to a point that's occupied by two or more opposing pieces. You can stack as many of your own checkers on a point as you wish.\nThe numbers on the dice indicate separate moves. If you roll a 4 and a 2, you can move one checker four spaces and a second checker two spaces. Or, you can shift one checker six spaces forward -- as long as the intermediate points (two or four spots away) are open.\nIf you roll a double -- the number on both dice is the same -- you get to enjoy four moves. For example, if you roll a double 3, you have four three-point moves at your disposal. You may move any combination of checkers to complete this requirement.\nYou must play both numbers of your roll if you're legally able to do so. If you can only play one number, you must do so. If you can move either number but not both, you must play the higher of the two. If you roll a double, you must play as many numbers as you can. And, finally, if you can't play either number, you lose your turn, and your opponent gets to roll again.\nBased on these dynamics, you might think backgammon lacks excitement. Not true. On the next page, we'll start talking about all the special ways the game let's you stick it to your opponent.\nBackgammon Brainiacs\nDo you need to have a Ph.D. in mathematics to win at backgammon? Not necessarily, but it certainly doesn't hurt. Bob Koca, for example, is a mathematics professor from Baltimore, Md., who made the Giants of Backgammon list for the first time in 2010. Jakob Garal, a Ukrainian-born player who has won many international backgammon tournaments, graduated from the Kharkov Polytechnic Institute with a degree in engineering. But just as many backgammon legends had no formal training in math or the hard sciences, Nack Ballard, considered by many to be the best backgammon player in the world, never attended college. And Masayuki Mochizuki, winner of the 2009 World Championship in Monte Carlo, dropped out of university after only two years to become a professional backgammon player.\nHow Mahjong Works\nHow Yahtzee Works",

        "raw_content": "ESTEEM Students Take Spring Break in Silicon Valley\nTwenty-two ESTEEM students are spending their spring break in Silicon Valley, experiencing the world\u2019s leading entrepreneurial ecosystem up close as part of their Notre Dame entrepreneurial master\u2019s program. Their passion for innovation makes the environment as refreshing and invigorating as the seaside resorts where some of their fellow college students take the time off.\n\u201cIn ESTEEM, we hear a lot about what\u2019s going on in the Valley, and it will be great to see it first-hand and get immersed in the innovation process,\u201d said Ciaran Murphy, who joined ESTEEM from Glantane, County Cork, Ireland, and was one of the organizers of the trip.\nJust a year ago, many of these students were about to graduate from engineering, mathematics, and other technical undergraduate programs. This month, they will engage the broad spectrum of stakeholders in the entrepreneurial process -- \u201cindustry-leading figures and innovators,\u201d Murphy said. \u201cThese are the best and brightest of the Silicon Valley, the kind of business people I aspire to be.\u201d\nEach student will visit a venture capital firm of their choice, shadowing and interacting with a leader. They will also visit major tech companies such as Google, IDEO, and Cloudera and take advantage of networking opportunities, a particular strength of ESTEEM.\n\u201cWorking alongside some of the Notre Dame Alumni Network down in the Valley has given me a sense of how important a strong network is, and this week will allow us students to become a part of that culture and build out our own networks,\u201d Murphy said. \u201cI don't believe any other master's program can offer such networking opportunities.\u201d\nThe trip advances ESTEEM\u2019s goal of helping scientifically-trained students achieve exciting career goals, whether by starting their own business or working in another company. The spring break trip includes opportunities to meet with leaders of the Notre Dame Alumni Network who are assisting students in their job search.\nThe spring break trip is a key piece of the ESTEEM value proposition, and we look forward to hearing the stories of the students\u2019 experiences during and after their visit. Good luck to all the travelers!",

        "raw_content": "In 2010, the European Union renewed its commitment to improve road safety by setting a target of reducing road deaths by 50% by 2020, compared to 2010 levels. This target followed an earlier target set in 2001 to halve road deaths by 2010.\nSince 2014, progress has virtually ground to a halt. 2016 was the third consecutive poor year for road safety: 25,670 people lost their lives on EU roads compared to 26,200 the previous year \u2013 a 2% decrease. But this followed a 1% increase in 2015 and stagnation in 2014. Out of the 32 countries monitored by the PIN Programme, 15 countries registered a drop in the number of road deaths last year (Fig.1). The best results were achieved in Lithuania with a 22% reduction, Cyprus with 19%, the Czech Republic with 17%, Latvia with 16% and Switzerland with 15%. As many as 15 countries saw an increase while progress stood still in two countries.\nThere has been progress over a longer time frame. Since 2010 road deaths in the EU28 were cut by 19%, equivalent to a 3.4% average annual reduction. But a 6.7% year-to-year reduction was needed over the 2010-2020 period to reach the EU 2020 target through constant progress in annual percentage terms. As a result of the failure to reduce deaths at the pace required, annual reductions of 11.4% each year are now needed between 2017 and 2020 for the EU to stay on track. Significant and urgent efforts are needed to achieve this.\nThe political will to improve on this poor progress is important. The lack of it at EU member state level has contributed to a decline in levels of police enforcement, a failure to invest in safer infrastructure and limited action on tackling speed and drink driving in a number of countries.\nAt the EU level, there has also been a conspicuous lack of action. Minimum EU vehicle safety standards have not been updated since 2009 despite rapid advances in vehicle crashworthiness and new technology that can help drivers to avoid or mitigate the consequences of collisions. Plans to update the standards were postponed and the proposal is not expected until March 2018. Updates to EU infrastructure safety rules have also not materialised.\nEU transport ministers recently urged the European Commission to come forward with a serious injury reduction target to cover the period 2020-2030. It is now critical that the European Commission bring forward the above initiatives and a long term road safety strategy for 2030 within the coming months.\nDownload Download background tables (.xls)\nRoad safety progress 2016\nPINRoad safety dataRoad safety performance indicatorsSwitzerland\n\u2190 Tapping the potential for reducing work-related road deaths and injuries (PIN Flash 33)\nUp to 40% of road deaths in Europe are work-related \u2192",

        "raw_content": "DFG establishes 9 new research units\nTopics range from hedonic media products and gravity waves to needs-based distribution and synaptic plasticity; around 16 million euros in funding for the first 3 years\nThe Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) is establishing nine new Research Units. This was decided by the DFG Senate during its autumn meeting in Bonn. The research collaborations will offer researchers the opportunity to pursue current and pressing issues in their research areas and to establish innovative work directions.\nAs with all DFG Research Units, the collaboration between the new units will be interdisciplinary and span multiple locations. In the initial 3-year funding period, they will receive approximately 16 million euros in total. This brings the number of Research Units funded by the DFG to 189.\nThe new Research Units\n(in alphabetical order by host university)\nHow do we identify needs and decide how they are distributed? Can needs-based redistribution be sustainable? The Research Unit \"Needs-Based Distribution and Distribution Procedures\" in-tends to answer this and other questions to deliver a normative theory of needs-based distribution. The participating researchers, representing the fields of economics, political science, philosophy and psychology, will focus on two key assumptions: that it is easier for the individual to accept dis-tribution principles if they are transparent, and that acceptance of the distribution result is greater the more expertise is employed in the distribution process. On the basis of these premises, the group intends to carry out tailored analyses of the welfare state.\n(Spokesperson: Professor Dr. Stefan Traub, University of Bremen)\nIn Germany there have been repeated warnings about a growing lack of skilled workers, especially with respect to the job market for academics in the natural and engineering sciences. This is due not only to the comparatively low number of students enrolling in these subjects but also the - inter-nationally speaking - high drop-out rate. Why is this the case? Are universities too demanding, or do students lack the necessary prerequisites? The Research Unit \"Academic Learning and Success in the Initial Phase of STEM Degree Courses\" will seek answers to these questions from the different perspectives of educational science, psychology and didactics in science and engineering. The researchers will focus initially on the choice of university course, study requirements and learn-ing prerequisites before moving on to theoretically based interventions to reduce high drop-out rates.\n(Spokesperson: Professor Dr. Elke Sumfleth, University of Duisburg-Essen; Deputy Spokesperson: Professor Dr. Detlev Leutner, University of Duisburg-Essen)\nPhotonic networks are becoming increasingly common in the communication, lighting and energy sectors for the optical transmission, storage and processing of information. There are growing calls for new developments in optical packaging. Although there are examples of optical systems being used to advantage, for example the excellent transmission of very large volumes of data, there are still unresolved issues relating to signal transfer to nodes in photonic networks. The Research Unit \"Optical Packaging for Module-Integrated Bus Systems\" intends to examine these problems and lay the foundations for the production of three-dimensional, optically functionalised mechatronic components.\n(Spokesperson: Professor Dr.-Ing. J\u00f6rg Franke, University of Erlangen-N\u00fcrnberg)\nGravity waves are waves whose propagation is dominated by gravitational acceleration. On Earth, this is the force caused by gravitation and inertia. It plays a key role in the prediction of earth-quakes, more so than the magnitude of a quake. Gravity waves also play a central role in the distri-bution of water vapour in the stratosphere, which in turn has a significant impact on the climate. The Research Unit \"Multiscale Dynamics of Gravity Waves (MS-GWaves)\" intends to improve the theoretical understanding of the multiscale dynamics of gravity waves as well as their mathematical modelling and accurate computation.\n(Spokesperson: Professor Dr. Ulrich Achatz, University of Frankfurt am Main)\nIn 2013 the number of electric vehicles around the world doubled. In Germany, partly because of the country's move away from fossil fuels, electric mobility is a vitally important issue. The Re-search Unit \"Low-Loss Electrical Sheets for Electric Mobility\" will investigate the electrome-chanical properties of electrical sheets in the context of the complete manufacturing process chain from raw material to finished engine. The group's primary aim is to reduce power loss in electric motors of all kinds. The participating researchers intend to investigate the reciprocal effects be-tween material properties, processing technologies and application conditions. Ultimately they hope to produce a low-loss electrical sheet tailored to requirements.\n(Spokesperson: Professor Dr.-Ing. Rudolf Kawalla, TU Bergakademie Freiberg)\nThe brain has the ability to absorb, process and store new information to enable individuals to adapt to a changing environment. Learning and memory are closely associated with the ability of nerve cells to continually adapt the efficiency of their communication points, the synapses. This synaptic plasticity is considered to be the central neuronal mechanism of memory-forming in the central nervous system. The Research Unit \"Interneuron Synaptic Plasticity - From Mechanisms to Functions\" intends to investigate the plasticity of a class of interneurons, which form connections between two or more nerve cells, known as GABAergic inhibitory interneurons. The group will study the relationship between the plasticity of interneurons, learning and memory-related behaviour.\n(Spokesperson: Professor Dr. Marlene Bartos, University of Freiburg)\nFacebook, Twitter, Spotify or YouTube: digital social media are exerting an ever greater influence on consumer behaviour, allowing information to be spread much faster and to reach a much wider audience. They result in potential buyers being influenced not only by advertising but also by the opinions of other consumers. As a result, consumers are acquiring more power in relation to com-panies. This is particularly true in the case of hedonic media products such as books, computer games, films and music. The Research Unit \"Marketing of Hedonic Media Products in the Con-text of Digital Social Media\" will investigate these network structures as well as the reactions of consumers and markets.\n(Spokesperson: Professor Dr. Henrik Sattler, University of Hamburg)\nThe aim of the Research Unit \"Memristive Components for Neuronal Systems\" is to simulate neuronal information processing. Just as nerve cells are connected by synapses in the brains of animals and humans, the group of researchers intends to build analogue circuits with nanoelectronic memristive components. The term 'memristive', a portmanteau of 'memory' and 'resistor', de-scribes a passive electrical component. The main challenge lies in recreating certain characteristics of the neuronal structure - such as synaptic plasticity mechanisms as the basis of learning and memory processes - in the memristive circuits.\n(Spokesperson: Professor Dr. Hermann Kohlstedt, University of Kiel)\nThe Research Unit \"Elucidation of Adhesion-GPCR Signalling\" intends to analyse the structure and function of adhesion G protein-coupled receptors. These receptors, known as aGPCRs, are seven-transmembrane receptors which trigger signal cascades for a wide range of essential physio-logical functions and are the target for some 60% of all prescription drugs. As yet, little is understood about the function of aGPCRs, although it is believed that they present a wealth of possibilities for the development of new therapeutics. The participants in the new Research Unit will use their ex-pertise in physiology, biochemistry, structural biology, pharmacology and nanoscopic imaging to elucidate the fundamental principles of aGPCR signalling.\n(Spokesperson: Dr. Tobias Langenhan, University of W\u00fcrzburg)\nMedia contact: DFG Press and Public Relations, Tel. +49 228 885-2443, presse@dfg.de\nFurther information will be provided by the spokespersons of the established units.\nFor information on the DFG Research Units and Clinical Research Units also see: http://www.dfg.de/for/en",

Who carved these enormous stones, moved them hundreds of miles, and erected them upon Salisbury plain\u2013and why?\nArchaeologists estimate that the first major construction began at Stonehenge around 3,100 BC, when workers dug a large, circular ditch around the site and piled up the resulting dirt in a round bank. But the interesting part of this phase of construction is the third circle inside the first two, consisting of 56 graves, atop which bluestones may have once stood. The bones of deer and oxen were also placed in the surrounding ditch.\nWere these sacrifices, or was Stonehenge originally just a cemetery, perhaps for the community\u2019s most important members?\nThe second stage in Stonehenge\u2019s development, from about 3,000 BC to 2,600 BC, involved the building of wooden structures and further burials. Interestingly, Neolithic grooved ware pottery is associated with this stage.\nGrooved ware pottery appears to have been developed way off in the remote, cold, wind-swept Orkney Islands at the tip of Scotland. I\u2019ve written about the Orkneys before, because they also have significant Neolithic sites, including\u2013most relevant to our conversation\u2013the Ring of Brodgar:\nThe Ring of Brodgar\u2026 is a Neolithic henge and stone circle in Orkney, Scotland. Most henges do not contain stone circles; Brodgar is a striking exception, ranking with Avebury (and to a lesser extent Stonehenge) among the greatest of such sites.[1] \u2026 These are the northernmost examples of circle henges in Britain.[2] Unlike similar structures such as Avebury, there are no obvious stones inside the circle,[3] but since the interior of the circle has never been excavated by archaeologists, the possibility remains that wooden structures, for example, may have been present. The site has resisted attempts at scientific dating and the monument\u2019s age remains uncertain. It is generally thought to have been erected between 2500 BC and 2000 BC, and was, therefore, the last of the great Neolithic monuments built on the Ness.[4]\nThe idea that anyone built anything major way off in the Orkneys, which definitely did not support the kind of comfortable, sedentary population that the Nile, Tigris, Euphrates, and Indus, is remarkable enough. That they built something comparable to Stonehenge and Avebury is incredible, and that a pottery style which appears to have begun in Orkney spread to Britain and Ireland almost defies belief. Surely Orkney lacked the population to man the kind of migrations necessary to impose their pots on others, but perhaps Orkney was some kind of Neolithic cultural leader, perhaps a sacred place people journeyed to from across the seas\u2013or perhaps the people of Orkney traded their pots for products not found locally, their style became popular, and folks in different areas began making their own versions.\nBut Avebury, Stonehenge, and Brogdar weren\u2019t the only Stone Circles:\nThe stone circles in the British Isles and Brittany were constructed as a part of a megalithic tradition that lasted from 3300 to 900 BCE, during the Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Ages.[2] It has been estimated that around 4,000 of these monuments were originally constructed in this part of north-western Europe during this period,[2] although only around 1,300 of them are recorded, the others having been destroyed.[3]\nAround 2,600 BC, Stonehenge entered its 3rd building phase, involving the erection of some 80 large stones in two concentric circles (\u201cQ\u201d and \u201cR\u201d) near the center of the enclosure. These 2-ton stones were transported 150 miles from a quarry in the Preseli Hills, (modern-day Pembrokeshire in Wales.) According to Wikipedia:\nThis phase tentatively began as early as 2600 BC, although recent radiocarbon dates from samples retrieved from one of the sockets in 2008 during excavations by Darvill and Wainwright suggest a date of around 2400 to 2300 BC. The final report is yet to be published, but some interesting results follow from the partial excavation of Q Hole 13 where \u2018associations with Beaker pottery\u2019 were noted.[1]\nThe Q and R Holes not only represent the foundation cuts for the first central stone construction, but they also were to include several additional stone settings on the northeast. This modified group face the midsummer sunrise with a possible reciprocal stone aligned on the midwinter sunset. This is the first evidence for any unambiguous alignment at Stonehenge (the solstice axis). \u2026 the dates suggested from the 2008 excavation (above) implies the Q & R arrays were perhaps no earlier than 2,400 BC, presenting a challenge to the recently accepted Late Neolithic date for the construction of the iconic sarsen monument. \u2026\nNow this is really interesting. The original proliferation of these circles is associated with the neolithic Groved Ware Pottery people. They tended to build chambered tombs and to dig large circular ditches and banks accompanied by human burials. They may have marked these graves with large stones.\nReconstruction of a Beaker burial, (National Archaeological Museum of Spain, Madrid)\nThen a new kind of pottery shows up, the Beakers. The Bell Beaker pottery arrived in Britain around 2,500 BC, and around that time a new, significant phase in the construction of these sites begins. Large numbers of extremely heavy stones were brought in and the original north-eastern entrance was widened so that it matched the direction of the midsummer sunrise and midwinter sunset. Additionally, a road appears to have been built Stonehenge and the River Avon between 2600 and 1700 BCE, perhaps a delivery route for supplies that had been floated down the river. The road is partially aligned with the summer solstice, and ends at another stone circle.\nSo where the Grooved Ware People perhaps had some kind of cult of the dead, or at least put a lot of effort into constructing fancy burial monuments for their dead, the Bell Beaker people appear to have been really interested in solar alignments.\nAccording to BellBeakerBlogger, even Bell Beaker burials reflect this solar interest:\nAll burials exhibit similarities that are central to Beaker culture or Beaker-ized people. They are usually flexed, individual burials within a plot, cemetery or larger complex. Men and women face the rising Sun, which along with other information, indicates a religious belief with emphasis on a solar deity.\nThe sequence of events that occurred at Stonehenge also appears to have happened at Avebury:\nThe chronology of Avebury\u2019s construction is unclear. It was not designed as a single monument, but is the result of various projects that were undertaken at different times during late prehistory.[19]Aubrey Burl suggests dates of 3000 BC for the central cove, 2900 BC for the inner stone circle, 2600 BC for the outer circle and henge, and around 2400 BC for the avenues.[1]\u2026\nAvebury was one of a group of monumental sites that were established in this region during the Neolithic. Its monuments comprise the henge and associated long barrows, stone circles, avenues, and a causewayed enclosure. These monument types are not exclusive to the Avebury area. For example, Stonehenge features the same kinds of monuments, and in Dorset there is a henge on the edge of Dorchester and a causewayed enclosure at nearby Maiden Castle.[20] \u2026\nArchaeologist Mike Parker Pearson noted that the addition of the stones to the henge occurred at a similar date to the construction of Silbury Hill and the major building projects at Stonehenge and Durrington Walls. For this reason, he speculated that there may have been a \u201creligious revival\u201d at the time, which led to huge amounts of resources being expended on the construction of ceremonial monuments.[21]\nReligious revival, or triumphant victory celebration?\nWork continued at Stonehenge over the next two hundred years, from about 2,600 BC through 2,400 BC, during which the monument\u2019s enormous, central stones were erected. These rocks weigh between 25 and 50 tons each. This was an enormous undertaking that must have required hundreds of people just to move each stone and lift it into place.\nBell beaker pots\n\u201cPots, not people,\u201d is one of archaeology\u2019s most famous maxims, an exhortion to regard a change in material artifacts\u2013say, new pots\u2013as simply a result of local cultural change, trade, or diffusion, rather than the arrival of an entirely new people. The Pots not People reading of the transition from Neolithic Grooved Ware to Copper Age Bell Beakers is simply that people invented new pots (and the technology to work metals.)\nIn the case of the Corded Ware people, this turned out to be wrong\u2013the Corded Ware People turned out to be the Yamnaya, AKA the Indo-Europeans, who boiled out of the Ukrainian steppe around 4,000 BC, and by 500 BC had conquered almost all of Europe, Iran, Turkey, India, etc. They contributed significantly to the modern European gene pool, especially in eastern Europe.\nArout 3,000 BC, the Bell Beaker culture, named for its distinctively bell-shaped pots, began appearing in Western Europe. The pots didn\u2019t spread smoothly across the continent, but were concentrated along Atlantic and Mediterranean river valleys:\nRadiocarbon dating seems to support that the earliest \u201cMaritime\u201d Bell Beaker design style is encountered in Iberia, specifically in the vibrant copper-using communities of the Tagus estuary in Portugal around 2800-2700 BC and spread from there to many parts of western Europe.[2][12]\u2026\nThe initial moves from the Tagus estuary were maritime. A southern move led to the Mediterranean where \u2018enclaves\u2019 were established in south-western Spain and southern France around the Golfe du Lion and into the Po valley in Italy, probably via ancient western Alpine trade routes used to distribute jadeite axes. A northern move incorporated the southern coast of Armorica. The enclave established in southern Brittany was linked closely to the riverine and landward route, via the Loire, and across the G\u00e2tinais valley to the Seine valley, and thence to the lower Rhine. This was a long-established route reflected in early stone axe distributions and it was via this network that Maritime Bell Beakers first reached the Lower Rhine in about 2600 BC.[2][19]\nAnother pulse had brought Bell Beaker to Csepel Island in Hungary by about 2500 BC. \u2026 From the Carpathian Basin Bell Beaker spread down the Rhine and eastwards into what is now Germany and Poland. By this time the Rhine was on the western edge of the vast Corded Ware zone. \u2026 A review in 2014 revealed that single burial, communal burial and reuse of Neolithic burial sites are found throughout the Bell Beaker zone.[23]\n\u2026 The earliest copper production in Ireland, identified at Ross Island in the period 2400-2200 BC, was associated with early Beaker pottery.[2][27] \u2026The same technologies were used in the Tagus region and in the west and south of France.[2][28] The evidence is sufficient to support the suggestion that the initial spread of Maritime Bell Beakers along the Atlantic and into the Mediterranean, using sea routes that had long been in operation, was directly associated with the quest for copper and other rare raw materials.[2]\nspread of bell beaker pottery\nThe Bell Beakers reached Britain around 2,500 BC.\nUnfortunately, the Bell Beaker people didn\u2019t leave any written records, so we don\u2019t know what language they spoke. Were they Indo-Europeans? Moroccans? Did they conquer river valleys across Western Europe, or just tried exchange their pots for local goods along long-established trade routs?\nAnd are they responsible for the menhirs found across western Europe?:\nA menhir \u2026 is a large upright standing stone. Menhirs may be found solely as monoliths, or as part of a group of similar stones. Their size can vary considerably, but their shape is generally uneven and squared, often tapering towards the top. \u2026 they are most numerous in Western Europe; in particular in Ireland, Great Britain and Brittany. There are about 50,000 megaliths in these areas,[2] while there are 1,200 menhirs in northwest France alone.[3] Standing stones are usually difficult to date, but pottery, and/or pottery shards found underneath some in Atlantic Europe connects them with the Beaker people. They were constructed during many different periods across pre-history as part of a larger megalithic culture that flourished in Europe and beyond.\nAlmost nothing is known of the social organization or religious beliefs of the people who erected the menhirs. There is not even any trace of these people\u2019s language; however we do know that they buried their dead and had the skills to grow cereal, farm and make pottery, stone tools and jewelry. Identifying their uses remains speculative. Until recently, menhirs were associated with the Beaker people, who inhabited Europe during the European late Neolithic and early Bronze Age \u2014 later third millennium BC, ca. 2800 \u2013 1800 BC. However, recent research into the age of megaliths in Brittany strongly suggests a far older origin, perhaps back to six to seven thousand years ago.[6]\nOf the Beaker Culture of Ireland, Wikipedia states, in classic archaeologist style:\nThe \u2018bronze halberd\u2019 (not to be confused with the medieval halberd) was a weapon in use in Ireland from around 2400-2000 BC[71] They are essentially broad blades that were mounted horizontally on a meter long handle, giving greater reach and impact than any known contemporary weapon (O\u2019Flaherty 2007). They were subsequently widely adopted in other parts of Europe (Schuhmacher 2002), possibly showing a change in the technology of warfare.\nJust a change in technology, definitely not evidence of people getting conquered.\nOn May 9, 2017, The Beaker Phenomenon And The Genomic Transformation Of Northwest Europe was published on BioRxiv, finally providing some of the answers to our many questions:\nWe present new genome-wide ancient DNA data from 170 Neolithic, Copper Age and Bronze Age Europeans, including 100 Beaker-associated individuals. In contrast to the Corded Ware Complex, which has previously been identified as arriving in central Europe following migration from the east, we observe limited genetic affinity between Iberian and central European Beaker Complex-associated individuals, and thus exclude migration as a significant mechanism of spread between these two regions.\nIn other words, the initial spread of Bell Beakers from Iberia to central Europe was primarily cultural\u2013the people involved are not closely related.\nHowever, human migration did have an important role in the further dissemination of the Beaker Complex, which we document most clearly in Britain using data from 80 newly reported individuals dating to 3900-1200 BCE. British Neolithic farmers were genetically similar to contemporary populations in continental Europe and in particular to Neolithic Iberians, suggesting that a portion of the farmer ancestry in Britain came from the Mediterranean rather than the Danubian route of farming expansion.\nStone-age Britons were genetically similar to stone-age Iberians.\nBeginning with the Beaker period, and continuing through the Bronze Age, all British individuals harboured high proportions of Steppe ancestry and were genetically closely related to Beaker-associated individuals from the Lower Rhine area. We use these observations to show that the spread of the Beaker Complex to Britain was mediated by migration from the continent that replaced >90% of Britain\u2019s Neolithic gene pool within a few hundred years, continuing the process that brought Steppe ancestry into central and northern Europe 400 years earlier.\nIn other words: Bell Beaker pots s originally diffused culturally to the Rhine, where they were adopted by people with Indo-European steppe ancestry. These steppe people then conquered Britain, killing 90% of the stone-age inhabitants.\nThe victors appear to have gone on a building spree, repurposing neolithic monuments and dedicating them to their own deities, much as the Christian Hagia Sophia was transformed into a mosque following the Islamic conquest of Constantinople.\nOn a probably related note:\nDurrington Walls is the site of a large Neolithic settlement and later henge enclosure located in the Stonehenge World Heritage Site. It lies 2 miles (3.2 km) north-east of Stonehenge in the parish of Durrington, just north of Amesbury.\nBetween 2004 and 2006, excavations on the site by a team led by the University of Sheffield revealed seven houses. It has been suggested that the settlement may have originally had up to 1000 houses and perhaps 4,000 people, if the entire enclosed area was used. The period of settlement was probably short, between 15 and 45 years starting sometime between 2525 and 2470 BC.[3]\nIt may have been the largest village in northern Europe for a brief period.[4][5][6] At 500 metres (1,600 ft) in diameter, the henge is the largest in Britain and recent evidence suggests that it was a complementary monument to Stonehenge.[7]\nGrooved ware pottery has been found in abundance at Durrington Walls. Why this sudden concentration of Neolithic pottery around the time of the Beaker invasion and rebuilding of Stonehenge? Were they captives brought to the area to work on the henge? Or a fortified refuge holding out against the invaders?\nBy the Iron Age, circa 1,600 BC, Stonehenge had largely fallen out of use, or at least new construction had halted. This was long before the arrival of the Celts in Britain, around 500 BC, so whether the Druids ever made use of Stonehenge as a sacred site or not, they certainly didn\u2019t build it.\nNature: Ancient-genome study finds Bronze Age \u2018Beaker culture\u2019 invaded Britain\nSarkboros: Bell Beakers and the North African Late Neolithic, on potential Bell Beaker origins in Morocco\nRazib Khan: The coming of the Milesians: abstract of \u201cThe Bell Beaker Paper\u201d\n\u2190 Recent Discoveries in Human Evolution: H. Sapiens 300,000 years old?\nAnthropology Friday: Yakuts part 2 \u2192\n13 thoughts on \u201cWho Built Stonehenge? Bell Beakers and Neolithic Burials\u201d\nWho Built Stonehenge? Bell Beakers and Neolithic Burials | Reaction Times says:\nGreat article, really enjoyed it. Just a thought. Beaker pottery was found in Q and/or R holes at Stonehenge and so it seems that the Steppe invadors may been responsible for the major sarson build. However, Britain probably had strong links with the Iberian Atlantic culture and so Beaker pottery could have made it to Stonehenge through Iberian links in the same way that Grooved ware was present from the Orkneys. This might be supported by the scarcity of Beaker artifacts at the Durrington Walls camp. The 2400 timeline given by Reich in his paper may also add support to a theory where the invaders arrived after the the stone phase of Stonehenge was completed.\nAs I believe Greg Cochran pointed out, human prehistory is starting to look a lot more like \u201cConan the Barbarian\u201d than the placid Eden imagined by mid-Century archaeologists. 90% population replacement? Good Lord, that\u2019s beyond Hitler, Stalin, or Genghis Khan\u2019s wildest dreams\u2026\nInterestingly, it was a little of both\u2013diffusion of people, then diffusion of pots, then diffusion\u2013and genocide\u2013again. But definitely far bloodier than expected.\nquaslacrimas says:\n>the Orkneys, which definitely did not support the kind of comfortable, sedentary population that the Nile, Tigris, Euphrates, and Indus\nThe Orkneys may well have been barely-habitable, but n.b., colder water dissolves more gases, and thus supports more biomass, and in particular more fish. So a good cold-water harbor with easy access to fisheries can be the equivalent of a flood-plain, in terms of supporting a high population density in a small area surrounded by a large \u201cwasteland\u201d.\nHere\u2019s a really good hypothesis on how they moved the stones by Michael Bradley.\nhttp://www.michaelbradley.info/books/hotair/hotair1.html\nI really like Curraghs although I call them skin frames. Eskimos made them too. Strong, light weight. Very nice. Some examples\nhttps://duckduckgo.com/?q=skin+frame+boats&t=ffcm&iax=1&ia=images\nThanks for the articles. Very interesting!\nWhat I love about this sort of thing is proof that primitive man wasn\u2019t exactly primitive\nStonehengeNews says:\nReblogged this on Stonehenge Guided Trips.\nBy the way Osiris was Nimrod according to Darrell and Misraem is sometimes called Menes John says:\nHas anyone considered that the builders of stone henge could have been Neanderthals? I do not discount the possibility although speculation John\nThat would be awesome, but Neanderthals died out about 40,000 years ago, and Stonehenge is only abut 4,000 years old. Of course, Neanderthals could have survived for longer in some isolated place, but we have plenty of skeletons from Britain and they look like normal Homo sapiens.",

        "title": "EU Referendum: The biggest risk management decision you\u2019ll ever make - Experts for Expats",
        "raw_content": "The majority of the enquiries we receive at Experts for Expats are from expats requesting financial information and advice.\nDuring the initial consultation, the first thing any of the consultants in our network do is conduct a risk profile analysis to identify the individual\u2019s propensity to take risks.\nAny investment decision requires an understanding of this most fundamental element of someone\u2019s persona. With investments, there can be amazing rewards to be had, however, in nearly all cases the greater the potential reward, the greater the overall risk of making that decision.\nOf course, there are never any guarantees when making an investment \u2013 even putting money into a savings account can be risky, despite the minimum rewards (if you consider the current low interest rates).\nHowever, to be able to understand the progress towards the reward, the adviser will also create a plan with key milestones which enable everybody involved to assess the progress once the decision has been made.\nIn truth, these are the fundamental requirements with any decision making process: risk vs reward.\nThe EU Referendum, the decision whether the UK should remain or leave the EU, is no different in this regard. But do we have the information we need to make this decision?\nWhilst those who are undecided are still calling to be told \u201cthe facts\u201d, what they need, in reality, is a proposal. A risk management strategy to address the likely outcomes of any given course of action.\nThe UK is currently in a system with is established. Processes are known. Regulations are known. Democracy is in place (to a degree). The benefits and drawbacks are all too familiar. The rewards have been seen for decades \u2013 the UK economy has grown to being the 5th largest economy in the world \u2013 despite numerous recessions.\nThe pound has remained strong and investment in the UK has remained steady. Yes, there are risks. The population continues to increase, imports are greater than exports and the future is still an unknown. However, the overall future of the UK is pretty secure \u2013 despite all of the scaremongering.\nThe UK can influence the EU from a position of strength and authority.\nThat is not to say that if the UK were to vote leave that the UK economy would not continue to grow, however, the lack of overall plan creates a level of risk which means that the future is a total unknown. Ideally, we need to hear from the government what it would plan to do to prevent various risks materialising should we leave the EU. However, as both the PM and the Chancellor are campaigning for remain, such plans are unlikely to be forthcoming. Such is the flawed nature of the split party campaign.\nConsider the following key factors which are, as yet, unknown and unplanned \u2013 and in the event of Brexit, on the 24th June plans would have to be created to manage each and every one of them:\nWhile there are rumours about David Cameron\u2019s position as Prime Minister following the referendum, whether he remains as PM is unknown. He may resign, he may seek a leadership contest, he may request an emergency budget, he may call a General Election. However, there is no indication of what will actually happen. He doesn\u2019t even appear to have a plan or exit strategy if he were to remain as Prime Minister.\nThe leave campaign has so far spent the reclaimed membership fees several times over. One day it\u2019s being used to build a new hospital every day, the next it\u2019s subsidising border controls, it\u2019s also been guaranteed to boost investment in trade and industry and offset potential newly imposed trade tariffs. And yet, all claims have been made by people with no authority to make such decisions.\nAnd what of the opportunity cost. Currently landowners receive subsidies, as do areas of the UK which are neglected by the current government.\nDue to the lack of plans, we don\u2019t even know if we will have to pay for membership to any other groups, such as the EEA.\nMigration and border control\nNigel Farage (who is not an MP) would have you believe that we would instantly extend the UK\u2019s existing points based system of immigration for non-EU migrants to cover EU migrants to the UK.\nHowever, without clarification of whether the UK will remain a member of the EEA (which requires free movement of EU citizens) this could be a moot point.\nThe current government has also cut border control resources over the past few years, which means an increase in restrictions would lead to a requirement for more resources.\nFinally, there is no evidence to suggest that Brexit would successfully solve the immigration \u2018problem\u2019 it claims we have, particularly when related to housing. It could even make things worse. With so many non-EU migrants and refugees currently seeking asylum in the UK in Calais, there are no clear plans for how an agreement with France would manifest. There are fears that French government could open the gate or that the UK could be flooded with immigrants in the time it takes to implement our departure from the union \u2013 but in truth it\u2019s a complete unknown.\nExisting regulations and laws from the EU\nA major debating point is that the UK would regain sovereignty over laws and regulations. However, we have no clarity on what these would be. We know that if the UK desired trade agreements with the EU, certain quality and controls would need to remain in place.\nThere is no reason why the government could not have drafted any or all of these replacements to give voters a clear indication of what the Government would seek to introduce.\nSome people fear that all Health and Safety, Human Rights would be under threat \u2013 and while their complete abolition is unlikely, anything is possible with regards to rewriting the rules.\nWithout clarity on how potential trade deals would be negotiated, it is also unclear whether benefits and agreements such as the European Health Insurance Card would remain eligible for non-UK nationals in the UK and also for British people abroad.\nIf the UK negotiates membership with the EEA, it would remain. But without this clarity, we simply do not know.\nUK breakup\nThe SNP in Scotland have made it relatively clear that in the event of Brexit, they would push for a second referendum to seek Scottish independence (which would subsequently lead to Scotland applying for EU membership). This is probably the clearest \u201cnext step\u201d for the Brexit campaign.\nWhile many Brexiters would actually welcome a Scottish Referendum, Scotland is a vital cog in the UK economy.\nAnd for the UK, this would be an additional situation which is not in the least planned, and therefore creates an even greater risk for Brexit.\nAs has been pointed out by many people (leave and remain), international trade would not cease if we left the EU - not withstanding the fact that we could still remain in the EEA and therefore continue free trade within the EU.\nIf the UK votes to leave and does not remain in the EEA, in the years following the decision the EU rules of free trade would still apply anyway (as well as the EU regulations) until replacement trade agreements were in place.\nOnce the negotiations have been concluded it is possible tariffs would have been applied to both imports and exports from/to EU countries - although the level of such tariffs is a complete unknown, similarly whether these tariffs would simply be passed to the consumer, increasing prices.\nWhat we do know is that the UK imports significantly more than it exports, and therefore any newly introduced tariffs would overall be negative to the UK economy.\nOne positive of this is that the UK would be forced to increase its manufacturing and agriculture output, and encourage people within the UK to \"buy British\" while exporting the surplus. Increased costs of importing may require this. However, how much capacity do we have to make these core changes to our economy? Could we actually start manufacturing when most of the commodities used would be imported and therefore be more expensive?\nThe problem with needing imports, as opposed to wanting them, is that it creates a \"sellers market\", meaning the UK could have diminished negotiating power.\nBut once again, without a clearly communicated plan for trade, we simply do not know the overall affect. There is a chance it could be beneficial to the UK, but equally the converse could be true.\nVotes should be based on a risk/reward assessment not hope or emotion\nThis article is not designed to scaremonger. After all, there are vast numbers of people who take risks, and plenty of whom reap the benefits, albeit with an informed plan.\nHowever, there are far more people who are risk averse \u2013 and leaving the EU is a decision which cannot easily be reversed. If Brexit leads to recession and it\u2019s considered a \u201cterrible mistake\u201d, any application to re-join the EU would be very hard to bring about and would most likely require a vote from within the EU to decide the UK's fate. We may have burned our bridges.\nOn the contrary, if the UK remains in the EU for now, the prospect of a second referendum within the next ten years is highly likely \u2013 especially if UKIP continues to gain a foothold in UK politics.\nFor risk averse people who would consider the UK leave vote, this creates an opportunity to seek the plans and reassurances from those in power within the UK.\nIt would also offer the opportunity to continue reforming the EU from the inside \u2013 with the clear understanding that there will in all likelihood be another vote to leave.\nWhen making up your mind, consider how risk averse you are and whether you would be willing to take a leap in the dark at this point in time \u2013 and remember if we remain in the EU it certainly won\u2019t be the last time you get to choose.",

        "title": "10 Incredibly Bizarre Facts About Space - Factural",
        "raw_content": "by FACTURAL \u00b7 Published August 3, 2018 \u00b7 Updated October 3, 2018\nResearchers state that our universe is so immense that even light hasn\u2019t yet travelled it in nearly 14 billion years. The speed of light is so intense it travels 186, 282 miles per second. That means the time it took you to read this far, a proton leaving the sun has travelled about 10 million kilometres which is the equivalent as travelling around the earth 250 times. With such a majestic scale there is a lot we don\u2019t know about space, and perhaps won\u2019t ever know. But to make things a little better, we have collected some of the most bizarre facts that we do know about space that will shock you:\n1. While you are in space, you are a time traveller.\nTime travelling is, in fact, possible In space. This is called \u201cTime Dilation\u201d This happens because the Planet\u2019s orbit gives us an extra second per week. This is one of the many theories Albert Einstien researched on.\n2. We are actually inside the sun.\nBecause the earth is located inside the sun\u2019s atmosphere, we are basically in a planet residing inside the sun. Think about this next time you get sunburnt.\n3. 55 Cancri e is a planet made out of diamonds.\nScientists state that this rocky planet which is 40 lightyears away from Earth might have a surface made entirely out of diamond and graphite. It has a radius twice that of Earth and mass eight times greater.\n4. Space has a putrid stench.\nHave you ever thought about what space smells like? well, It certainly isn\u2019t pleasant. It is described by astronauts with the strangest things such as \u201cHot metal\u201d, \u201cWelding Fumes\u201d, \u201cSeared Steak\u201d, But it\u2019s still something they can\u2019t exactly place their finger on. An Astronaut by the name of Tim Peak said: \u201d This is a favourite question of mine and yet one of the hardest to answer. That is because yes, space does smell\u2026but exactly what it smells of is much harder to put your nose on..\u201d\n5. No matter how hard you try, no one can hear you scream in space.\nNo one can hear anything in space because there is no oxygen and oxygen is needed to carry sound waves.\n6. Pieces of your feet fall off a month in orbit.\n\u201cThe Calluses on your feet in space will fall off,\u201d Said the Astronaut Scott Kelly, who had spent an entire year in space. \u201cSo, the bottoms of your feet become very soft like newborn baby feet. But the top of my feet develops alligator skin because I use the top of my feet to get around here on space station when using foot rails.\u201d\n7. There is a Volcano three times larger than Mount Everest on the Planet Mars.\nAccording to scientists, Olympus Mons, the largest volcano on Mars may still be active. It is a monstrous 550 km wide and 27km high reaching three times the size of Mount Everest which is only 8.8km high.\n8.

A trip beyond the moon would be incredibly fatal.\n9. Every year the moon gets 3.78 centimetres further away from Earth.\nScientists say that the moon is slowly distancing itself from our planet. It spins 1.4 inches away from the earth every year which is spinning somewhat the same speed as our growing nails.\n10. Neutron stars spin 600 times per second.\nNeutron stars are the tiniest stars in the known universe. They have the mass a few times that of the sun even though they have a radius of about 10km. They rotate in tremendous speeds up to 60 times per second after they are born from a core-collapse supernova star explosion and are known to spin as fast as 600-712 times per second.\nNext story The Deep Sea\nPrevious story 7 Axolotl Facts",

Okay. Back in the day, this is probably ... '82. I had a friend named Sandy Harrold, who was living in a house with a couple of other people from the SCA. And she\u2014and we went over to help collate her \u2014 the letter zine for the SCA. And got to drinking wine and talking afterward. And she had collected ... She had several other contacts at the University of Washington, that had fan fiction, and they had been passing around zines and that. And so she started passing me some fan zines. And it started off with zines like Broken Images, and Tales of Feldman, and got to be more and more and more stuff. So I got hooked up with an unofficial circuit. And from there, Sandy and I developed a very fast fannish relationship. And that's how I found it....I started in zine fandom at, like I said, probably '82. Or maybe '83. I was in college at the time.\nAnd Star Trek: The Next Generation was just coming out. I read some Starsky and Hutch. And, so, that was kind of what I started with. And then I got into Professionals at my first con. We kinda got hooked into the Starsky and Hutch fifteen-year anniversary. In 1990, I guess. And at that point in time that's when we ... Well, actually, first we'd seen Koon-ut-Kali-Con 2. And we took a trip down to San Diego to that. And that's where we first saw the Professionals. We saw vids for the first time at that point, too. We didn't, you know, know who those guys were, but it looked pretty cool. And so, they had ... Candy Fong's husband was running a dubbing system in one of the rooms downstairs. And he had slaved-up several different VCRs, so he could put in a tape and make a copy of several episodes simultaneously. And so he was dubbing whatever they happened to have. If you said, \"I would like some Professionals,\" then he would slip in, you know, two or three or four episodes of the Professionals, and dub them into several different tapes, and then you could take one of them home for a small fee. For basically the cost of the tape. And so that's what we did, and we got several Professionals episodes, you know and we couldn't quite tell who was who, you know. We saw that there was fan fiction, and one of the guys had the green eyes, but you know it was so hard to tell. You know. Dubbed down twenty-five different levels. And I got some Man from U.N.C.L.E. episodes, that, because they were so hard to come by at that time.\nOkay. So we started off, back at the Starsky and Hutch Fifteenth Anniversary, we met up with ... You know. We'd seen vids at San Diego. And we met up with DJ, who made vids in our area. And so we decided that we would learn to do vidding. And so we started vidding on VCRs, Sandy and I. And sent tapes to Escapade. And we started getting a bigger group in Seattle that was interested, first in zine exchanges and writing prose, and then we decided that we wanted to get a vidding VCR. And so we needed to earn money to be able to get that new vidding VCR. So we put a zine together in order, as a fundraiser, with everybody writing a story. And it was at that time that I fell in love with Highlander.\nAnd I learned that Highlander was primarily online. If you wanted to be a Highlander fan, you had to go online. And you had to get a connection there. So I had been dabbling with, you know, the friends that I was talking about as a group, we e-mailed back and forth, we all had accounts either through universities, or work access, or something like that. So we had a small group \u2014 and that eventually became the foundation of Virgule, the first slash list online. And, um, we used that. And so I'd just written a story for this new zine, new fandom, new name, so I signed up with some of the Highlander stuff, under Rachael Sabotini, and that. And started creating an online presence. Just so I could be on the ROG \u2014 Really Old Guy \u2014 list for people who liked Methos.\n[My move to LiveJournal was due to Harry Potter]. I had written some Harry Potter stuff back ... Book one, book two. Because I was just interested in the character Neville. And then the movies were coming out, and I thought, oh I should try to find fannish interests that were similar. And I found some Snape people. And so I joined that list. And at the time they were just starting a Harry/Snape list. And so I joined that as well. The first weekend, right before the movie opened. And then it became huge. So. That list, then, was having outages; the traffic was just so massive. And so the back-up plan was for everybody to be on LJ, and connect up with other LJs, so we could find each other. And, basically, that was the impetus. So everybody got an LJ, you know, these hundred thousand \u2014 not hundred thousand, but a hundred, then 200, then 500, then a thousand people. And by the time we had all gotten LJs, you know, some people had had them for a couple years by that point. But I was able to, like, get a permanent LJ account as a founder sort of thing. They ... You know. That became the real method of communication, rather than the mailing lists. It slowly, you know, instead of that being the backup to the mailing list, the mailing list became the back-up to the conversation that was going around on LJ.\nHow does the technology do [affect fandom]? Well, okay. Early fandom was more like a giant house party. Since you tended to participate together either at cons, or in local gatherings, you know, or in writing letters and stuff. It was a very, very ... You know, fandom was always a very private experience. It's got this huge public aspect, but it's, it's you and the material, you watching the material, you talking with people about the material. But the presentation of it was ... Okay. Television is \"in a public space\" medium. Or initially it was, you know. You sat on the couch, the TV was far away from you, you had people sitting in the room with you, and so that was \"other, over there.\" Nowadays when you watch TV, it's usually right up close, on your computer \u2014 not everybody watches it that way, but \u2014 it's a much more \"within the private space, of you and your mind.\" Same thing with entering the information onto an online environment. It's much more in your personal space, in your personal mindset, because it's right in front of your eyes when you're typing all of this stuff in. Whereas you had to send it off, to go away, to be published in a zine, and then it would come back to you, and could be consumed by multiple people that way. So it was a little more ... Extroversion was required for that initial stuff. Yes, you participated, and you lurked, and you could buy things and have it all come to you, but there was a lot of activity that required you to go outside of yourself, that the technology of having your phone, that having the computer, just brings a different aspect to. It's much more; you're carrying fandom in your head all the time now, as opposed to, you know. It's in your head, it's in your pocket, it's\u2014you're constantly immersed. Whereas there was much more space in that original environment. And other people tended to fill that space, and it wasn't so much in your head. If that makes any sense.\n...it's always sad when the show is fading, and people aren't as interested in it anymore, you know. When it \u2014 during the early years, you could count on the fandom for being around for a long, long, long time. I mean ... And being central to people for years and years. Initially\u2014. I mean, Star Trek; decades.\nBut as the cycle has wound up, and as the media has realized that they can get more product from fans ... Then, much speedier for the cycles to go through. But the, I mean, the fandom, with the absolute fastest meteoric rise and fall that I know of, was Phantom Menace. Because that, you know, had such a pent-up demand for fan material. And then \u2014 For fan material not of ... I don't want to say, \"of a boy nature,\" but you know what I mean. Of ... That appealed to the relationships and emotional context that women look for. That when the Phantom Menace started to come out and the first photos were coming out, people jumped on that bandwagon right away. And it just, it was taking off even before the movie opened. And it skyrocketed. For, like, two years. And then dropped like a stone. Within a year after that, nobody was really interested or writing in it. It was like, huge pent-up demand, everybody must spill out every single story idea that they'd ever thought, every vid that came to them needed to be done now now now\u2014and then oh my God, I can't believe I ate everything, I binged, I ... You know; I'm done. It was a mass insanity party.\nI do have a fondness for immortality and regeneration, in that I really don't like death to be a permanent thing. I like \"found.\" I like common people who step up to the odds and become heroes; who find their family and find their place, no matter what it might be. So it's a whole ship of misfits that unite together and can get things done. And that's what I really like. And shows, and I mean ... There've been a bit of that thread, I mean, even in U.N.C.L.E. there was all sorts of fun stuff. But those guys, in the early early early shows, they were \u2014 they would get injured, and hurt, and electrocuted, and all sorts of hurt/comfort goodness, and at the end of the episode they were all bouncing back; there were no consequences. And so, that, it was fun to see some of those consequences explored. And, and \"What happens if you break them?\" and \"How do they come back?\" and \"Who can they rely on?\", you know? Because those are always, always things that I loved in those shows. But there's lots of things; that's a thing that, you know ... People to rely on, found families, I think is a step that I keep coming back to. And misfits. You know? I love me the outsiders.\nI need ... (laughs) I need a show\u2014not in the sense that I need to find fan fiction \u2014 and I need to find other people to talk about it. It's more ... The show gives me the universe, and I need a universe with holes, I need a universe with grays, because those holes and the grays are the places where I exist. If the show is too seamless, then there's no place for me. Farscape I think, the early part of it, there was less room for people than there was in the later part of the series. And depending upon when you fell into it, you would've felt \"Wow, this is seamless; I'm getting everything I need from this show,\" or \"There are all these things that are getting dropped and I need to see what's happening with them.\" You know. And that's just the way it works for me. So a show that's too good is actually detrimental. Because all I'm going to do is I'm going to sit there and passively watch it, and I'm going to talk about it with my family, and maybe people from work, but I'm not going to feel the need to go online and write about it.\n[Curated rec lists are] something that I do miss, is the ability to go back and say, \"What were the good stories of ... you know, five years ago. 2005. What ... Because ... Not the great stories, the two or three stories that everybody's talking about, but the ones that were good, solid stories.\" Those have fallen off the planet. Nobody \u2014 You know. If it wasn't by a known author at the time, or if it wasn't the watershed story of the day, they're gone. And you won't be able to find them in something like Archive of Our Own, because it's just, it's not present. But if somebody like Amothea used to keep her Archive of Angst \u2014 but really it was torture and pain and bad things happening to your favorite guys, you know. And that was great. Because here it was this person, putting together this list, putting themselves out there, saying, \"These are things that I like, and I think you'll like them too.\" And I'm losing that. With the crowd sourcing, I'm losing this sense of a recommender, and who they are, and what their tastes are, and how much they match with mine. And I've read, using the method that I have, of looking at kudos and comments, and saying, \"Ooh, these look good,\" I have read some good stories. But they are not my perfect stories. I ... You know, Sandy Herrold was primary recommender because she would read voraciously. And I don't have that primary recommender anymore. And I can't find, you know, don't have any mechanism, really, of being able to say, \"Ooh, this is the perfect story for me.\" I will find, \"Oh here's an author that I like and they have written stuff I kind of liked before,\" but it's not, it's not that one hundred percent fit that you \u2014 that I could find with personal recommendations....\nBecause, you know; you would get a feel for who the person was, and then you could know how you could rely on them. So maybe the story that wasn't as well known as all of these other stories, but it would have that thing that you were looking for, whatever that thing was. This person, you know, was really good at ferreting out, like ninety percent of that stuff. And that's what I mean. With the crowd sourcing level of recommendations that we have, you know, our recs have become crowd sourced. And that is losing the, that connection that you're really kind of looking for to both the source, and the fandom, and the recommender.\nCriticism, good for a kerfluffle, no matter what flavor. Whether it was reviews of zines on mailing lists, to somebody mentioning a story on LiveJournal. Any flavor of comment that \"not everything is perfect, not everything is good,\" has caused problems. One of the ... Okay, back on one of the mailing lists, a woman was writing a series called the \"Terra Nova Situation.\" And she posted happily, \"I just broke a million words!\" The response was, \"And they can never be fixed.\" So that, you know; those were all good. We had, oh man, back in Smallville, there was all of the people faking identities, in Sentinel people faked identities, of M\u00fcnchausen's-by-Internet people. We had people really go crazy and lose it, and post massive flounces, just ... There are so many in my brain. Because it's just true of people, you know? They take their ball and their bat and they go home and they slam the door, and then five years later they show up in a different lot playing, you know, hockey instead of baseball this time.\nOriginally female geeks were completely hidden from society. And we did not exist. And that has changed with the rise of the geek and recent culture has really become aware of women as ... As... You know, I don't want to say, \"intelligent human beings.\" But yet I keep coming back to \"intelligent human beings.\" That ... It's a much different environment, I feel, now, with people like Joss Whedon, and the Avengers, and their coming round to the idea that there is, you know, lots of money to be made. That they don't have to look down on us the way they did when Aaron Sorkin had his problems with West Wing fans, and that sort of thing. That we \u2014 that there's been this whole gamut of going from invisibility to \"there, there little girl,\" you know, pat them on the head, sit them aside, be \u2014 you know \u2014 be pissed off at them, \"how dare they, what do they think they're doing,\" to being in a place where we're finally getting, \"Hey wait a minute; we're women, we know what we're talking about, we're powerful,\" and it's a rise out of the geek culture that's really making that happen. So I think, depending upon who you talk to and when their formative experiences were, you'd get whole different range of feelings about it. And thoughts about it. That I can't say how any one group looking at us would act like, because there's just so many different ways to look at us.\nRetrieved from \"https://fanlore.org/w/index.php?title=Fan_Fiction_Oral_History_Project_with_Rachael_Sabotini&oldid=1047712\"\nHighlander Fan Interviews\nVidder Interviews",

        "title": "Colonial Forest Policies and Tropical Deforestation: The Case of Cross River State, Nigeria",
        "raw_content": "Colonial Forest Policies and Tropical Deforestation: The Case of Cross River State, Nigeria\nOliver O. O. Enuoh1, Francis E. Bisong2\n1Tropical Ecological Consult Ltd., Abuja, Nigeria\n2Department of Geography and Environmental Science, University of Calabar, Calabar, Nigeria\nEmail: oliverenuoh@yahoo.com, febisong@yahoo.com\nNigeria has lost over 90% of her forest resources due to the hydra-headed and enduring problem of deforestation, hinging on timber logging, establishment of agricultural plantations in hitherto intact forest reserves, construction of highways, mining of solid minerals, approval of taungya farming activities in forest reserves, extraction of non-timber forest products (NTFPs), and de- reservation of large areas of certain forest reserves for other economic and development activities. Though colonialism was dismantled in the first half of the twentieth century, its policies on forest nationalization remain unchanged across many independent states in the tropics including Nigeria. The paper assesses the colonial forest policy underpinnings of tropical deforestation in Cross River State of Nigeria. It highlights the weaknesses of forest reservation laws and its impacts on tropical deforestation. The paper concludes by advocating a shift in forest policies in favour of property rights recognition and devolution of forest management responsibilities to forest communities.\nColonialism, Forests, Policies, Deforestation, Devolution and Communities\nTropical deforestation remains one of the greatest environmental challenges of our time. It cuts across all countries in the developing world with serious impacts on biological species depletion and extinctions. Understanding the complexities of tropical deforestation and forest cover change across different developing countries remains a key area of interest in global environmental change research (Geist & Lambin, 2001) . Several researchers, reviewers and even organisations trace the problem of tropical deforestation to unchanged colonial forest policies that hinge on the nationalization of the ancestral forest lands of local communities (Guha & Gadgil, 1989; Sivaramakrishnan, 1995; IUCN, 1996; and Fairhead & Leach, 2000) . The paper argues that tropical deforestation can be addressed effectively if policy shift de-emphasizes colonial forest policies in favour of property rights recognition and devolution of forest management responsibilities to forest communities. A key question here is why are people in the tropical world opposed to colonialism and colonial forest policies?\nColonialism is a system of extra-territorial extension of a nation\u2019s sovereignty by the establishment of either settler or exploitation colonies in which indigenous populations are directly ruled, displaced, or exterminated (Goncharov, 1963; Nkrumah, 1961) . It is essentially a system of direct political, economic, cultural and religious domination of a weaker people or territory, by a more powerful nation (Horvath, 1972) . The purpose of colonialism and imperialism include economic exploitation of the colony\u2019s natural resources, creation of new markets for the colonizer, and extension of the colonizer\u2019s way of life beyond its national borders (Goncharov, 1963; Guha & Gadgil, 1989) . Under colonialism, European powers entered into \u201ctreaty agreements\u201d with illiterate African rulers who surrendered their territories to them for economic exploitation in frameworks that were to impoverish local people in perpetuity (Burns, 1929: p. 306) .\nIn all former British colonies, the key issue in forest policy was the nationalization of the timber-rich forest lands of local communities vis-a-vis the creation of Government forest reserves ( Guha & Gadgil, 1989; Sivaramakrishnan, 1995; Colchester, 2004; Okali & Eyog-Matig, 2004 ). The Indian Forest Act of 1878, which obliterated centuries of customary use of the forest by local people, became a model forest policy document for all other British colonies (Guha & Gadgil, 1989) . The above policy, anchored on the legitimacy of scientific forestry, triggered serious resistance from the affected and impoverished local people. Violent confrontations by local villagers erupted in different provinces in India e.g. in the \u201cGudem and Rampa hill tracts of present-day Andhra Pradesh; among the Saora tribal people of the Ganjam Agency\u201d (Guha & Gadgil, 1989: pp. 154-155) . At the Rampa rebellion of 1879-1880, also in India, villagers attacked and burnt police stations, and \u201cTammman Dora (the ring leader) was shot by the Police in June 1880\u201d (Guha & Gadgil, 1989: pp. 154-155) .\nGuha & Gadgil (1989: p. 155) further maintain that the formation of reserved forests culminated in the destruction of many villages and the eviction of their inhabitants. In order to draw attention to their grievances, \u201csome tribesmen went on hunger strike outside the king\u2019s palace at Jagdalpur\u2026 At the same time, police stations and forest outposts were burned, stacked wood looted, and a campaign mounted against pardeshis (outsiders).\u201d Ribot (1999) comments that \u201cin Africa the colonial antecedents of many of today\u2019s forestry policies were unapologetic in favouring Europeans over Africans.\u201d In South Africa, Magome & Murombedzi (2003: p. 109) maintain that during colonialism:\n\u201cThe apartheid government passed the Natives\u2019 Land Acts of 1913 and 1936, which restricted land ownership by black people to just 13 per cent of the country\u2019s total land area.\u201d\nIn Ghana, Buell (1928) reports that prior to 1924, natives owned forest concessions and sold wood upon the same basis as Europeans. However the competition became so keen that in a 1924 administrative order, \u201cthe government declared that a native could not cut and sell wood except for his own use without making a deposit with the government of twenty-five hundred francs\u2015a prohibitive sum\u201d (Buell, 1928: p. 256) . Across the colonies local resistance erupted against repressive forest policies. In Zimbabwe, Mapedza (2007: p. 833) maintains that \u201clocal resource users have not remained passive recipients of the repressive forestry policies and practices\u2026but have actively contested them since the 1950s.\u201d In Nigeria, Okali & Eyog-Matig (2004: p. 8) comment that the principal activities of colonial forestry \u201cwere the selection, demarcation and constitution of suitable sites as forest reserves, and the preparation of working plans\u201d for commercial logging activities. Under the forest reservation policies, local people were made to believe (on one hand) that the forest reserves were being held in trust for future generations, while on the other hand, state control (Mapedza, 2007) , and \u2018timber exploitation which began in the 1880s\u2019 (Okali & Eyog-Matig, 2004: p. 8) , was the main objective. The above thus compromised the ecological values and conservation objectives of colonial scientific forestry, with local communities as witnesses.\nProof of the commercial agenda of British colonial forestry (contrary to their conservation agenda) is offered by Geary (1927: p. 133) , who reports on colonial export earnings from timber exploitation in Nigeria between 1900 and 1913 as follows: \u201c1900 (\u00a37013), 1901 (\u00a311,228), 1902 (\u00a313,235), 1903 (\u00a332,027), 1904 (\u00a359,132), 1905 (\u00a338,695), 1906 (\u00a368,718), 1907 (\u00a369,241), 1908 (\u00a377,054), 1909 (\u00a347,086), 1910 (\u00a360,469), 1911 (\u00a355,576), 1912 (\u00a378,007), and 1913 (\u00a3105,440).\u201d The British Royal Institute of International Affairs, founded in 1920, commented on timber trade in a publication in 1960 titled \u201cNigeria: The Political and Economic Background\u201d:\n\u201cThe value of timber exports has expanded in the years of world shortage during and after the Second World War. In 1958 it amounted to over \u00a36 million, or about 4.5% of Nigeria\u2019s total exports... With the recent expansion in the timber trade many small saw mills have sprung up, as well as a number of large scale enterprises. Among them the United Africa Company\u2019s highly mechanized sawmill and plywood factory at Sapele\u2015opened in 1950\u2015represents the largest single industrial undertaking in Nigeria, and an investment of some \u00a32.5 million.\u201d\nIn other West African countries like Ghana and Ivory Coast or Cote de Voire, the colonial administrators cornered logging concessions and the lucrative timber trade for outsiders or their European clients and marginalized the natives. For instance Buell (1928: p. 256) reports that\n\u201cBefore 1924, natives held forest concessions and sold wood upon the same basis as Europeans. But the competition became so keen and native cutting so difficult to control that in a 1924 administrative order, the government declared that a native could not cut and sell wood except for his own use without making a deposit with the government of twenty five hundred francs\u2015a prohibitive sum\u201d\nBuell (1928: p. 256) further informs that the above system was also practiced in the French Congo, culminating in \u201cthe locking up of the resources of the territory in the hands of a dozen companies.\u201d Similarly, Hailey (1938) reports that in 1930, one of the European timber companies operating in Congo, Compagnie Forestiere Equatoriale, controlled 100,000 hectares of lease concessions alone.\nTo underscore the role of logging in the revenue profile of British colonial India, Sivaramakrishnan (1995: p. 10) reports that \u201cin most provinces, the Forest Service was placed administratively under the Revenue Department, a good indication of the primary role assigned to forestry.\u201d Similarly, Stebbing (1926: p. 345) comments that the Forest Service in India became regarded \u201cas a purely commercial concern\u2015its chief raison d\u2019etre the production of revenue.\u201d Sivaramakrishnan (1995) stresses that during colonialism forest Landscapes were seen as commodities, and members of an ecosystem were treated as isolated and extractable units. He maintains that colonial forestry attracted serious resistance from local people who were generally impoverished by colonial forest reservation laws.\nAfter several years of struggles for independence in different colonies, colonialism was dismantled after the second world war. Nigeria attained her national independence on October 1 1960. Impoverished local people and communities were made to believe by pre-independence politicians and freedom fighters across several colonies that national independence will culminate in the abrogation of colonial forest reservation laws and state recognition of local property rights. However, national independence came across former colonies, but the colonial forest reservation policies did not change, and indeed have remained unchanged to this day. In Colonial Guinea for instance, Fairhead & Leach (2000: p. 51) comment that \u201cpoliticians in the run-up elections found that they could easily rally rural support through slogans such as \u2018we promise to give you back your lands and forests\u2019.\u201d That did not happen. However, some forest reserves were de-reserved to allow land to powerful politicians and certain favoured local communities and groups.\nIt is instructive to note that post-colonial forest de-reservation exercises were not peculiar to Colonial Guinea. It also happened in Nigeria. The bone of contention here is that powerful politicians from certain villages used their influence to de-reserve huge territories of land for themselves and their communities, while villages without powerful people could not secure de-reservation approvals, culminating in what is generally referred to as internal colonialism and injustice to this day. After the above initial phase of selective and discriminatory forest de-reservation exercises by post-independence politicians and leaders, colonial forest reservation laws became enforced with greater vigour (Fairhead & Leach, 2000) .\nPost-independence continuation of colonial forest reservation policies is grounded on three key reasons. First, the European powers or colonial authorities had economic interest in the forest reserves and wood factories they had established in different colonies (e.g. the United Africa Company wood factory at Sapele, Nigeria). That is why as Goncharov (1963: p. 468) puts it \u201cupon losing political control over the colonial territories, the imperialist powers proclaim principles of friendship, co-operation, and \u2018free association\u2019 with the young sovereign states\u201d, which enabled them to exercise political and economic control over them. The second is the influence of colonial legacy on public policies and programmes in independent states. In the case of Nigeria, Heussler (1968: p. 83) comments that\n\u201cThe legacy of the purely British administrative complex that overlay the grass-roots machinery of Anglo-African government is important and will remain so for many generations. No matter how much of its paraphernalia is discarded by African rulers, many things will go on being done in Nigeria, consciously or not, simply because the British did them that way.\u201d\nThe third reason is that post-independence governments across all newly independent states relied on the forest (timber logging) for national revenue generation. Accordingly, they had to retain colonial forest reservation policies so as to control timber exploitation and revenue generation from forest resources in general. A typical example is Ivory Coast, which since independence has pursued destructive forestry practices in order to earn foreign exchange and tax revenues (World Bank, 1985) . Vandergeest & Peluso (2006) comment that doctrines of economic development, pursued by newly independent states (after world war II), culminated in widespread unsustainable logging activities. The Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations \u201cbecame the key international institution supporting forestry for development\u201d in the emergent states of the tropical world (Vandergeest & Peluso, 2006: p. 369) . Forestry Departments of independent states with limited financial and human resources took charge of commercial logging activities in frameworks that marginalised local communities in the sharing of benefits (IUCN, 1996) .\nUnsustainable logging activities, agriculture (slash and burn method or shifting cultivation), mining, infrastructural development (roads and railways), and urbanization are among the drivers of deforestation that cut across the developing world (McMorrow & Talip, 2001; IUCN, 1996; and WWF/ODNRI, 1989) . In Nigeria, 30 years of post-independence logging/unsustainable forestry practices (1960-1990), underpinned by unchanged colonial forest policies, culminated in the loss of over 90% her primary forest (WWF/ODNRI, 1989) . The above underscored the need for conservation measures to stem the tide of deforestation and loss of biodiversity.\nThis paper is the qualitative part of a 2012 study that assessed biodiversity conservation and deforestation challenges in Cross River National Park of South Eastern Nigeria. A combination of qualitative and quantitative research techniques (mixed methods approach) was applied in the study. Two buffer zone communities and one non-buffer zone community (for comparative purposes) were purposively sampled for the study. Purposive sampling was deemed appropriate in order to concentrate on communities with more serious evidence of deforestation and land cover change. The qualitative data was obtained through Document research, interviews, focus group discussions, and participatory rural appraisal (PRA) exercises.\nThe quantitative data on the other hand was obtained through rural livelihoods survey in the study communities and GIS (Geographic Information System) data from the Cross River State Forestry Commission. Due to unreliable census figures and voters register in Nigeria, a total of 360, 308 and 400 households were compiled at Old Ekuri, Abo Mkpang and Akwa Ibami villages respectively. Proportional to the above number of households per village, a formula of one in four households was used to generate a sample population of 90 (Old Ekuri), 77 (Abo Mkpang), and 100 (Akwa Ibami), resulting in a total sample size of 267.\n3.1. Colonial Nationalization and Commodification of the Forest Estate\nA careful assessment of historical time line information (Table 1) on forest resources use and management in Nigeria reveals that the British colonial forest policy of nationalization in the 1930s was followed by the commencement of mechanized logging and deforestation in government forest reserves in the 1940s. Examples of pioneering British logging companies involved include UAC (United African Company) Ltd, Brandler and Rylke Ltd, Cobbett & Co Ltd, Glikstens Ltd, Finch & Co Ltd, etc. On the scale of logging concessions controlled by UAC in Western Nigeria, for instance, Brandler (1995: p. 77) observes that \u201cThe United African\nTable 1. Cross River State of Nigeria: time line on forest resources use and management.\nCompany, which had licenses for many Government Forest Reserve areas, had constructed a narrow gauge railway and used it to evacuate logs over twenty miles, to a waterside at Okiti Pupa from where they rafted logs to Sapele port. That was quite an exception in those days. Later, Caterpillars and Trucks were used for the extraction of timber and this extraction criss-crossed the forests faraway from water (or sea port).\u201d\nDuring participatory compilation of this historical time line (Table 1), villagers lamented that after Nigeria\u2019s independence on October 1st 1960, government has over the years been acting as both conservator and destroyer of the forest, anchored on the colonial example on forest reservation, subsequent commodification of timber resources and large-scale mechanized logging in Government Forest Reserves. After national independence, Forestry Departments in Nigeria, with limited capacity to manage the several forest reserves that were placed under their jurisdictions, became revenue earners for government, resulting in continuous annual approval of logging concessions to timber companies. The logging concessions were not backed up by re-planting or reforestation programmes.\nIn Cross River State 12 out of the 17 Government Forest Reserves established by the British became almost completely cleared between 1960-1990 due to logging concessions and logging activities carried out unsustainably by timber companies. During an interview, a key informant at the Cross River State Forestry Commission gave examples of timber companies that operated in Cross River State to include Brandler and Rylke Ltd, Seromwood Industries Ltd, Calabar Veneer and Plywood Ltd, Mikes Wood Ltd, Kisari Ltd, Hanseatic Ltd, Isulight Ltd, Fouplant Ltd, Magnificat Ltd, Ikobi brothers Ltd, Rite-Edge Ltd, Wempco Ltd, and several private individuals that registered as timber dealers with the Forestry Commission in Calabar\u2015the capital of Cross River State. The current level of deforestation in Cross River State is presented in the map in Figure 1.\nA comparison of the above map (Figure 1) with other versions e.g. that of 1960 (Figure 2) (at the time of Nigeria\u2019s independence) shows that tropical high forest (green colour) occupied a larger part of Cross River State in the past than the present as shown in the above (current map).\nA forest inventory report obtained at the Cross River State Forestry Commission in 2012 reveals disturbing levels of deforestation in government forest reserves as presented in Table 2.\n3.2. Agricultural Practices, Government Plantations and Deforestation\nThe practice of slash and burn agriculture by farmers in local communities and colonial government establishment of tree-crop agricultural plantations (e.g. cocoa, rubber, oil palm, cashew and gmelina) in hitherto intact government forest reserves, have exacerbated tropical deforestation in Nigeria in general and Cross River State in particular. In Cross River State, examples of government tree crop agricultural plantations include Calaro oil palm estate, Cross River Rubber Estates Limited, Ayip-Eku oil palm estate, Ibiae oil palm estate, Biakpan rubber estate, Agoi rubber estate, Nko rubber estate, Borum oil palm estate, Oban oil palm rubber estate, and Ikom cocoa estates. There are also several private tree crop plantations for cocoa, rubber, oil palm, and cashew nuts across the eighteen local government areas in Cross River State which have seriously impacted on deforestation levels in the state.\nThe Cross River State Forestry Commission Law of 1999 provides for permission to individuals to farm in government forest reserves on a few of N2500.00 (or $10) per hectare. On the strength of the above, several parcels of government forest reserve lands are now tacitly controlled by private individuals who have cleared\nTable 2. Status of vegetation in government forest reserves in cross river state.\nSource: Cross River State Forestry Project (ODA-Assisted)\u2015Forest Inventory Report, 1994. Footnotes: * = Areas taken from Sutter (1979) Table A10.8. ; + = Areas taken from IDRISI maps rounded to nearest 100 ha.\nFigure 1. Map showing current deforestation in cross river state of Nigeria.\nseveral hectares of pristine forest for agricultural purposes. Closely related to the above is taungya farming system which was approved by the Forestry Commission in government forest reserves in the 1980s. The taungya farming system allowed individuals to clear primary forest for food crop cultivation combined with exotic tree species needed by government (e.g. teak and gmelina arborea). This culminated in serious deforestation in the state. Commenting on colonial forest policies and forest clearance through taungya farming system in Cross River State, Dunn and Otu (1996: p. 35) maintain that\nFigure 2. Map showing forest cover in cross river state of Nigeria (1960).\n\u201cEkinta, an 11,000 hectare forest reserve in the south east of the state, provides a good example of accelerated high forest loss as a consequence of forest policy that favoured forest exploitation and the establishment of fast-growing exotic species. The reserve was good quality high forest until the late 1970s. The government-owned logging company Seromwood cleared much of the forest in a salvage cut and opened up the entire reserve with a network of roads. A large number of farmers from the then south west of Cross River State (now the neighbouring state of Akwa Ibom) were permitted to move into the area to establish plantations of Gmelina arborea using the taungya system. However, due to a shortage of funds for seedlings and supervision, virtually no plantations were established. In less than a decade, 90% of the forest reserve had become cassava farms instead of forest plantations with hardly a tree standing.\u201d\nFrom the above forest loss, this paper stress that colonial forest reservation policies (which have remained unchanged to this day) have exacerbated tropical deforestation in Cross River State in particular and Nigeria in general.\n3.3. Equations Uncontrolled Extraction of Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs)\nThe tropical rainforest of Cross River State is extremely rich in revenue yielding non-timber forest products (NTFPS) which include wild edible vegetables, wild edible fruits, medicinal plants, fuel wood, building materials, arts and craft materials, bushmeat and local tools and equipments. The list of income yielding NTFPs in Cross River State is presented in Table 3.\n3.4. Highway Construction and Mining of Solid Minerals\nThe construction of state and federal highways across hitherto intact government forest reserves in Cross River State and mining of solid minerals have contributed immensely in worsening the rate of tropical deforestation in the state. Examples of federal highways in the state include Calabar-Ikom-Ogoja road, Ogoja-Obudu-Ikom road, Calabar-Oban-Ekang road, Calabar-Itu-Ikot Ekpene road, and Ikang-Calabar road. State roads are numerous cutting across the eighteen local government areas in Cross River State. The government forest reserves that have witnessed different levels of deforestation due to highway construction and mining of solid minerals (e.g. limestone, barites, gravels, and granites) include Cross River North Forest Reserve, Cross River South Forest Reserve, Ukpon River Forest Reserve, Afi River Forest Reserve, Umon-Ndealichi Forest Reserve, Uwet-Odot Forest Reserve, Okwangwo Forest Reserve and Ekinta Forest Reserve.\nPublic highways have created different locations of trespass into government forest reserves, making it difficult to check or control illegal activities by various offenders. The offences include illegal logging, mining, farming, hunting of animals, and extraction of different non-timber forest products. During an interview, a senior officer at the Cross River State Forestry Commission commented that poor funding, inadequate staff, and lack of four wheel drive vehicles make it difficult to undertake regular patrols in government forest reserves by forest rangers. The above officer lamented that the ten Land Rovers (four wheel drive vehicles) that were donated to the commission by the British Overseas Development Administration (ODA) in 1991 had all broken down. Staff of the Forestry Commission are thus, unable to undertake regular field visits across rough and hilly forest roads to check illegal activities in forest reserves.\n3.5. De-Reservation of Large Portions of Some Government Forest Reserves\nDe-reservation applications and approvals by the Forestry Commission have over the years contributed seriously in increasing the rate of tropical deforestation in government forest reserves in Cross River State. De-reservation is a process where formal application for land in government forest reserves by private individuals and communities is approved by the Forestry Commission culminating in the re-adjustment of forest reserve boundaries to allow individuals or communities to own more land. Not everybody or community that applies for de-reservation gets an approval. Usually the approval goes to powerful politicians, businesses, and influential chiefs and communities. Due to the sensitive nature of de-reservation exercises, the Forestry Commission usually keep it confidential. The number of hectares that have been de-reserved remain unknown. However, a key informant mentioned that de-reservation approvals have taken place in government forest reserves such as Cross River North, Cross River South, Agoi, Afi River, and Oban group forest reserves.\nTable 3. List of some non-timber forest products in cross river state.\nSource: Fieldwork, 2012. Frequent and uncontrolled harvesting of the above NTFPs in forest communities is also contributing towards tropical deforestation in Cross River State.\n3.6. Foresters and Resistance to Decentralized Forest Management\nAttempts to address deforestation challenges in Cross River State through devolution of forest management responsibilities to communities has been strongly resisted by foresters in the state Forestry Commission. A key informant commented that between 1991-1994, the British Overseas Development Administration (ODA, now DFID), was involved in a forestry project that assessed tropical deforestation challenges and forest management approaches in Cross River State, Nigeria. In a strategy document and final ODA project report in November 1994, the weaknesses of centralized forest management was recognised as major cause of widespread illegal logging activities and deforestation in the state. The report finally recommended community forestry, or devolution of forest management responsibilities to communities, as the best way forward. Accordingly, a second phase ODA (DFID) forestry project was strongly recommended to midwife community forestry in the state. Opposition to community forestry by some foresters was noted but ignored.\nDuring the second phase ODA (DFID) forestry project, tagged Cross River State Community Forestry Project\u2015DFID Assisted (1999-2002), some foresters openly declared that community forestry was a threat to their profession because the project entailed devolving forest management responsibilities to communities. Foresters were expected to be involved in redefined roles that included supervisory, technical assistance, and capacity building of villagers to protect and manage forest lands. The establishment of community-based forest management organisations with clearly defined roles, forest policy change, and capacity building initiatives were to be major areas of focus for the above community forestry project. The first project manager employed by DFID came with a mindset to implement the community forestry project as explained above. He met with stiff resistance by foresters which made him resign and went back to the UK.\nA second project manager was engaged who agreed with foresters to experiment a community forestry model where Forest Management Committees (FMCs) are established in forest communities to handle certain forest management responsibilities (e.g. arrest of illegal loggers), while foresters remain responsible for forest management as had always been the case. As committees, FMCs could be set up and dissolved at anytime by foresters. In contrast, registered community organisations (as legal entities with bye-laws) and formal/institutionally sustainable ways of doing things, were feared by foresters as capable of taking over the forestry profession from the professionals and giving it to forest communities. The DFID Community Forestry Project accordingly established 22 FMCs across major forest communities in Cross River State, carrying out roles assigned to them by foresters. Suffice to mention that the FMC experiment failed to protect and manage the forest resources of Cross River State as soon as the DFID Community Forestry Project came to an end in 2002. To this day there are no success stories of the FMC approach to community forestry. Tropical deforestation challenges are ubiquitous and persist in Cross River State to this day, with government monopoly in forest management reigning supreme.\nIn the study, analysis and understanding of tropical deforestation and land cover change, different researchers from different disciplinary backgrounds, have adopted different approaches which link the problem to different causes. This paper addresses the colonial forest policy underpinnings of the problem drawing insights and evidence from Cross River State of Nigeria. The key question is, does colonial forest policy matter in the quest of understanding and addressing the causes of tropical deforestation? From the perspective of this paper, the simple and direct answer is yes. Most, if not all of the developing countries in the tropical world were former European colonies where colonial forest policies were used in forest resources governance. Forest nationalization and subsequent introduction of mechanised logging in government forest reserves-a common currency of colonial forest policies, laid the foundation of large scale deforestation in most, if not all tropical nations.\nThough colonialism was dismantled during the first half of the twentieth century, all indigenous governments in the new and independent nations retained the forest reservation policies of the colonial era. The social tensions, protests, and property rights struggles that defined and characterised local people\u2019s relationship with colonial forest polices and forest resources governance spilled over to the post-colonial era. Post-colonial governments of independent nations gave out several government forest reserves to logging companies as logging concessions in order to generate and sustain government revenue. Local communities with limited legal rights stood by, watching large scale mechanised logging and deforestation that was characterised by the construction of roads and highways into hitherto intact government forest reserves.\nTowards the end of the 20th century, tropical deforestation and its effects on biological species depletion and extinction became a global environmental problem. International initiatives to address tropical deforestation challenges included a paradigm shift towards decentralization or devolution of forest management responsibilities to local communities. Examples in sub-Saharan Africa include community forestry initiatives in Liberia, Ghana, Cameroon, Uganda, Zimbabwe, and Nigeria. Koffa (2012) maintains that the devolution of forest management responsibilities in Liberia to communities has resulted in enhanced forest protection and policing of illegal logging activities in the country. In the case of Cross River State of Nigeria, attempts to introduce community forestry or community-based forest resources management by the UK DFID met with serious resistance from government foresters. A DFID community forestry project in Cross River State that would have witnessed the emergence and empowerment of community forest management organisations (in forest resources management), became enmeshed in foresters\u2019 resistance that culminated in a common ground constitution of forest management committees (FMCs) in selected forest communities (with foresters still in control). This became an experiment of a new community forestry model. The lack of a single success story in the FMC approach to community forestry (to this day), and the persistent problem of illegal logging and tropical deforestation in Cross River State of Nigeria, makes the approach a failure.\nNigeria and other tropical nations that are critical of the devolution of forest management responsibilities to communities should learn from the Philippines where forest management responsibilities are devolved to empowered community forest management organisations. In Liberia for instance, community forestry was preceded by the enactment of a Community Rights Law (CRL) in respect of the country\u2019s forest lands; establishment and empowerment of community organisations; devolution of forest management roles to communities; and re-structuring the role of Forestry Departments to include monitoring and evaluation of community forestry programmes; conflict resolution amongst communities; forest management training; organisational capacity building programmes for registered community forest management organisations; funding and donor support for community forestry; and revocation of forest management authority of any community forest management organisation that violates the Forest Management Agreement signed between the community and the Forestry Department.\nLocal communities depend on forest resources for their livelihoods and remain perpetually committed to the conservation and sustainable management of forest resources. This is not the case with some foresters. In most cases some foresters come from other parts of a country or state where forest has been completely cleared. Their interest is usually anchored on additional income that they can generate from timber companies and logging concessions, in order to complement their low or inadequate salaries. In such scenarios, several foresters disagree with their colleagues who are pro-conservation, and insist on continuous control of forest resources management, not for purposes of enhancing the global sustainable development agenda, but to secure their rent seeking behaviour in the management of forest concessions. In order to stem the tide of tropical deforestation, devolution initiatives in favour of the above Liberia-style community forestry programme, which is anchored on the property rights of forest communities or community rights law (CRL), remains a sine qua non.\nTropical deforestation and land cover change is deeply rooted in the colonial nationalization of the forest resources of local communities\u2015a policy that has remained unchanged to this day in Nigeria, even when colonialism was dismantled in the first half of the twentieth century. Colonial forest policies introduced the establishment of government forest reserves in the 1930s (holding the forest in trust for future generations). Unfortunately, the same colonial forest policies betrayed the above trust in the 1940s, following the introduction of mechanised logging via logging concessions in government forest reserves. Mechanised logging laid the foundation for large scale deforestation in tropical nations including Nigeria.\nNigeria has lost over 90% of her forest resources due to colonially rooted practices which include not only mechanised logging, but establishment of government agricultural plantations (e.g. cocoa, rubber and oil palm), construction of highways, and mining of solid minerals. With evidence from Cross River State, post independent governments have de-reserved large portions of certain government forest reserves, and have failed to control the exploitation of non-timber forest products (NTFPs), resulting in serious tropical deforestation. In line with international paradigm shift in favour of devolution of forest management responsibilities to communities, attempts to introduce community forestry or community-based forest resources management in Cross River State of Nigeria, by the UK DFID, met with serious resistance from government foresters.\nA DFID community forestry project in Cross River State that would have witnessed the emergence and empowerment of community forest management organisations (in forest resources management), became trapped in foresters\u2019 resistance that culminated in the formation of forest management committees (FMCs) in selected forest communities (with foresters still in control). This became an experiment of a new community forestry model. The paper argues that the lack of a single success story in the FMC approach to community forestry (to this day), and the persistent problem of tropical deforestation in Cross River State of Nigeria, makes the approach a failure. The paper further argues that local communities who depend on forest resources for their livelihoods are more committed to sustainable forest management than foresters who wish to dominate forest management in order to secure their economic interests. In order to stem the tide of tropical deforestation the paper strongly recommends the adoption of the Liberia-style community forestry model, where forest management responsibilities are devolved via legal agreements to empowered community forest management organizations.\nBisong, F.

Here, the artist, with his back to the viewer and gripping his signature pipe, renders a grisaille image of himself on canvas while studying his reflection in a mirror. The painting electrified the cover of the February 13, 1960 Saturday Evening Post, which debuted the first installment of Rockwell's memoir, My Adventures as an Illustrator. A carefully orchestrated marriage of image and text, the issue hyped the interior article \"America's Best Loved Artist Finally Tells His Own Story.\" Through the Triple Self-Portrait, Rockwell was thus constructing his identity for a public audience. Was he the premier realist painter of the twentieth century? Was he the recorder of an idealized American middle class of dutiful Boy Scouts, nurturing mothers, and hardworking grandparents? Or was he all of this--and perhaps something more?\nScholars have variously interpreted the Triple Self-Portrait as Rockwell's presentation of his multiple selves as an artist. Rockwell's son writes that the portrait, in capturing his father's different personas, embodied the very essence of his realist art, simultaneously innocent and sophisticated: \"the slightly awkward figure almost crouched in front of the painting with a touch of the comic; the intensely serious face looking in the mirror with eyes obscured by the reflection of light on his glasses; and the outgoing, confident and friendly face of the drawing on the canvas. . . . We are not allowed to see the artist in one simple image, but fractured into a sequence of figure, mirror image, and slightly artificial self-image. . . . On the one hand, the picture is straightforward, showing the artist painting in his studio. On the other hand, the painting is a careful construct made up of a gradually developed idea followed by meticulous execution\" (P. Rockwell in M. Hennessey, Norman Rockwell: Pictures for the American People, Atlanta, 1999, pp. 76-8).\nDuring the 1950s, as Abstract Expressionism claimed center stage in the art world, critics were dubbing Rockwell's paintings as commercial, conservative, and kitschy. The art historian Michele H. Bogart discusses the Triple Self-Portrait as underscoring Rockwell's identity struggle between \"high artist\" in the European tradition-symbolized by the copies of self-portraits by Durer, Rembrandt, Picasso, and van Gogh tacked to the upper edge of the canvas-and \"low artist\" for the American people-symbolized by the eagle with stars-and-stripes shield atop the mirror (R. Halpern, Norman Rockwell: The Underside of Innocence, Chicago, 2006, p. 47). Writer Richard Halpern further emphasizes Rockwell's conflicted attitude toward the high art establishment: \"The device of the artist reflected in the mirror clearly refers in a general way to works such as Velasquez's Las Meninas. And Rockwell's posture echoes (in a slightly off-kilter way) that of the artist in Vermeer's The Art of Painting. . . . [Rockwell] is having a joke at his own pretensions. Likewise, in the postural reference to the artist in Vermeer's [painting], the tilt of Rockwell's body is exaggerated and awkward as if to suggest the resemblance and cancel it at once. . . . 'Gosh,' it seems to say, 'I'm not really one of those great artists. I'm just a regular guy-like you!'\" (Halpern, pp. 47-8).\nDuring the early 1960s, shortly after completing Triple Self-Portrait, Rockwell began showing his (surprisingly) liberal political hand in works tackling current events. Shifting from his bread-and-butter nostalgic images, he depicted such topical issues as race riots and desegregation in the South, space exploration, heated presidential elections, and the Peace Corps' fight against worldwide poverty. Scholar Richard Halpern points out that in Triple Self- Portrait, Rockwell may be hinting at smoldering social problems, soon to combust. Here, a wispy trail of smoke from discarded pipe ash rises from a paper-filled wastebasket by the artist's foot. In addition, topping the easel like a finial is the antique fireman's helmet that Rockwell actually owned, a reminder of the fire that had destroyed his studio in 1943. Is artist Rockwell, his glasses fogged over, blind to the possible conflagration about to start beside him? Or, more likely, is he telling his audience that he is ready to comment on controversial, incendiary topics-that he is more than an illustrator of white, middle-class values of family, faith, community, and economic prosperity?\nThe present work, a preliminary study for Triple Self-Portrait, points to Rockwell's systematic, painstaking method of completing a painting. For his magazine covers, he first rendered 3\"-square concept sketches, which he shared with editors for feedback. During the mid-1930s, black-and-white photography replaced these small sketches: serving as a virtual film director, he would stage sitters and props in a given setting and instruct a photographer to capture various angles. Next, he made a large charcoal drawing of the composition, resembling the grisaille portrait on the easel in Triple Self-Portrait, which approximated the size of the finished painting. To work out the exact palette, he painted a preliminary study like the present lot-often directly over a photograph-in a smaller, 11 x 9\" \"cover size\" so that he could visualize the effect of the image on the newsstand. Finally, he reproduced the charcoal drawing on canvas by using transfer paper. Rockwell's perfectionist fussing over every detail in his paintings suggests that he had a particular story to tell about himself in Triple Self-Portrait: a master realist with ties to both high and low art, who ultimately appealed to and challenged his audiences.\nThe completed work currently resides at the Norman Rockwell Museum, in Stockbridge, Massachusetts.\nCondition Report*: Panel measures 15 x 13 inches; there appears to be no major visible condition issues to note; under UV light, there appears to be no inpaint. framed under glass.

This is evident from a company report Axalta, which concludes that there is a color that is the big favorite worldwide.\nGray, red, blue, black? No \u2026\nWhite is the favorite color for customers who are approaching different retailers around the world. This tone obtained from the overlay of the rest of the color palette has dressed 38% of the vehicles sold in 2018. It is followed by its antagonist, the black, which has reached 18% of the preferences, while the third is for gray and silver which binds by 12%. Then comes blue (7%), red (5%), yellow (2%) and green (less than 1%).\nThe target area is wide and in regions such as South America it bounces up to 42%; in Africa it reaches 43% and in China the record shows 58%. In Europe, however, the difference is less noticeable because white reaches 25% of new cars, followed closely by graphite gray by 22%.\nWhat causes the White Color government to explain?\nAccording to the Axalta report, color is part of the main motive when buying a new car and goes so far as to say that about one-third of potential customers would change brands if the tone was not available.\nAnother of the conclusions of the study is that the increase in the black, silver and gray tones has the opposite side to the reductions in preferences for red, green and yellow.

        "raw_content": "Tackling Climate Change Only Way to Halt Species Extinction Crisis and ...\nScientists say biodiversity decline continues during 21st century unless emerging policy choices are pursued. \u00a9CIFOR/Manuel Boissiere\nNAGOYA, Japan, Oct 26, 2010 (IPS) \u2013 A major change in the direction of economic development is essential to avoid the catastrophic unraveling of Earth\u2019s ecosystems that support all life, a new global analysis published in the journal Science revealed Tuesday.\nClimate change, pollution, deforestation and other forms of land use change are pushing species into extinction, reducing their abundance and home ranges.\n\u201cHuman societies and infrastructures have evolved with and rely on particular sets of species and ecosystems and now these are being reshuffled,\u201d said Paul Leadley of the University Paris-Sud in France who led the study.\n\u201cEven optimistic scenarios for this century consistently predict extinctions and shrinking populations of many species,\u201d Leadley told IPS by telephone from France.\nThe goal of halting the loss of biodiversity by 2020 is under intense negotiation this week in Nagoya at the 10th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity. However, based on five recent global environmental assessments, Leadley says that ending biodiversity loss by 2020 is sadly \u201cunrealistic\u201d. Leadley and colleague Henrique Miguel Pereira led a 23- member scientific team from nine countries that compared results of recent global environmental assessments and a wide range of peer-reviewed literature examining likely future changes in biodiversity. The analysis found inevitable continuing decline of biodiversity during the 21st century, but offers new hope that it could be slowed if emerging policy choices are pursued.\n\u201cBiodiversity\u201d is the term used to describe the wide variety of living things \u2013 trees, insects, plants, animals \u2013 that comprise the planet\u2019s biological infrastructure and provide us with health, wealth, food, water, fuel and other vital services. Many people fail to understand how dependent humanity is on the many natural services provided by nature and how fast this is changing, Leadley says.\nAlthough there has been a public focus on extinctions, it is changes in species distribution and population sizes that are more critical to human well-being and better short-term indicators of the pressures of humans on ecosystems, the study says.\nIn the oceans, a combination of climate change resulting from carbon emissions from burning fossil fuels and overfishing are quickly shifting marine life to the point where there will be few large fish left to catch, researchers found. Jellyfish may be the main seafood item on the menu in future, he said.\nOn land deforestation, conversion of natural landscapes and climate change are transforming landscapes. A recent million-dollar assessment of the Amazon forest discovered that if global temperatures rise two degrees C., as seems likely, the combination of deforestation of roughly 20 percent of the original forest and forest fires will undermine the Amazon\u2019s unique ability to produce half of its own rainfall. Without that rainfall, the rainforest will convert into dry grasslands (cerrado), resulting in massive release of carbon and the loss of many species.\nThat\u2019s a solid finding, and even if deforestation stops after 20 or 22 percent is gone, the study shows most of the Amazon will be inevitably lost in 50 to 60 years, says tropical biologist Thomas Lovejoy, chief biodiversity adviser to the president of the World Bank and member of the Global Environment Facility science advisory panel.\n\u201cTwo degrees of warming will be hard on many ecosystems. Tropical forests will be in trouble, there will be few coral reefs left and temperate forests will be very different then they are today,\u201d Lovejoy told IPS in Nagoya.\nA solution to cool the planet and save the Amazon is to restore forests and grasslands so they remove carbon from the atmosphere, he said. Economic growth has to shift profiting from land conversion to profiting from restoration.\nTackling climate change can be a game changer for the decline in biodiversity, agrees Leadley. Scenarios show that if a price were put on all forms of carbon, including carbon emitted from deforestation and agriculture, it could go a long way to fixing the problem, he says. Deforestation and agriculture account for 35 to 50 percent of all carbon emissions into the atmosphere. They are also the biggest direct drivers of biodiversity in terms of conversion of natural ecosystems.\nA strong carbon tax that both levies a cost for carbon emissions and rewards carbon sequestration, combined with effective protected areas, is what will be needed, Leadley said. Simply protecting 20 percent of the land and 15 percent of the sea as originally proposed as the international 2020 objective by the CBD would not be enough to halt biodiversity loss based on the analysis without action on climate change.\nBut action must be taken quickly, as the study indicates the window of opportunity is closing rapidly. Differences in policy action taken now could either lead to an increase in global forest cover of about 15 percent in the best case or losses of more than 10 percent in the worst case by 2030.\nGetting policy makers to understand these realities remains a major challenge. Scientists hope the creation of an Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)-like mechanism for biodiversity called the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) will make the difference.\n\u201cThe issues are so urgent and the stakes for humanity so important, scientists need to coalesce through the IPBES to inform policy-makers with a unified, authoritative voice,\u201d stated Pereira, of the Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal.\nGovernments here in Nagoya say they are in favour of the creation of IPBES but some are withholding full support as a bargaining chip in the highly contentious debates over Access and Benefit Sharing. While \u201cthe nature panel\u201d, as it\u2019s called in the hallways, would have to be formally approved at some future meeting at the U.N. General Assembly, strong endorsement here at COP 10 is considered a necessity to make that happen.\nGlobal biodiversity assessments are extremely hard to do at present and we cannot speak with one voice without an organisation like IPBES, Leadley said.\n\u201cI\u2019d like to remind delegates in Nagoya that business-as- usual development pathways will lead to catastrophic biodiversity loss,\u201d he said.",

        "raw_content": "Home Analysis Daily Analysis Currency market overview for 14.11.18\nBrexit managed to crash GBP down...\nCurrency markets keep demonstrating volatility on the background of global instability in the world. The stand-off between the United States of America, China and European Union has been compounded by the financial problems in Italy and by the aggravation of the situation regarding the possible Great Britain\u2019s exit from Eurozone.\nInvestors have not yet decided which side to move to. This fact explains volatility.\nNovember 14 turned out to be quite stormy for this currency pair. GBP/USD pair was demonstrating spikes and valleys all day long, while remaining in a pretty tight range. The presence of a flat indicates that the positions of \u201cbulls\u201d and \u201cbears\u201d are equally weighted and that the market is full of uncertainty against the background of Brexit.\nThe behavior of this currency pair can hardly be described as logical (at least, from the predictability\u2019s point of view, it is the most unpredictable one). Otherwise, how can we explain the fact that the chaotical Brexit managed to crash GBP down to the level of 1.2, and the possible agreement between London and Brussels managed to raise it up to the level of 1.4? This gives an impression that the possibility of Brexit is just a manipulation tool in the hands of mass media.\nAfter all, there is still not any agreement, and many territorial matters of the UK are yet to be solved. But mass media has already released some information saying that this agreement exists and its ratification in the Government and Parliaments is just a formality.\nAccording to forecasts made by Wells Fargo, the negotiations between London and Brussels would be phased. The sheer fact that this agreement (which actually means that Great Britain will remain in European Union) exists, will push GBP up by 1% and, once it is approved by the Parliament, \u2013 by 2-3% more.\nWith the successful scenario, GBP will grow against the US dollar up to 1.4 within 6-12 months. If, however, London and Brussels fail to establish a common denominator, then GBP may decline against USD and EUR by 4-6%.\nEUR/USD \u2013 is another currency pair that demonstrated its maximum volatility level yesterday (on 13th November). One of the factors that caused this volatility was the publication of data about the consumer price inflation for the previous month. On an annualized basis, this indicator was 2.5%, which coincided with the forecast. In comparison with September, the inflation rate has increased by 0.3%.\nAgainst this background, the US dollar has been strengthened against EUR. The increase of the current inflation rate over the inflation targeting (2%) confirms the forecast of the monetary policy tightening, namely the discount rate increase during the meeting of the US Federal Reserve System in September (consequently, growing investors\u2019 interest in USD).\nAnother factor that, in contrast, supported EUR by the end of the day, was the publication of statistics about Q3 GDP in Europe. The qtr/qtr growth was 0%, yr/yr \u2013 1.7%, which coincided with the analysts\u2019 forecast.\nAnalysts recommend taking short positions regarding EUR. In spite of some relative weakness of the US dollar, EUR has more reasons to decline. On November 21, European Union will announce its official opinion regarding the Italy\u2019s revised budget. Up until that moment, the market will remain uncertain, which means that we should expect both-side volatility of currency pairs.\nPrevious articleStock market overviews for 09.11.18\nNext articleCommodity market overview for 16 November 2018",

And I hated it.\nLike Alex Toth, Milton Caniff and other genius artists that make their work look deceptively simple, Frank Robbins\u2019 work was bold and electric.\nThis story, which appeared on the Comic Art Fans site courtesy of it\u2019s owner, Paul Handler, is a previously unpublished anti-drug story featuring Batman and Robin and was illustrated by Robbins and written by Denny O\u2019Neil (who\u2019s anti-drug issue of Green Lantern/Green Arrow #85 wouldn\u2019t see print until the following year). It would have also beat Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man anti-drug arc by Stan Lee and Gil Kane to print presumably as well.\nI\u2019ve reached out to Mr. O\u2019Neil and will update with any further information.\nEnjoy! And don\u2019t fry your brains!\nPanels on link above.\nLink doesn't seem to work now but it's on this site, also.\nhttp://www.comicartfans.com/searchre...rank%20Robbins\nLast edited by mrhan; 06-07-16 at 12:17 PM.\nRe: Read An Unpublished BATMAN Anti-Drug Story From 1970 By Denny O\u2019Neil and Frank Ro\nThanks for posting. I breezed by this info on Facebook last night, but now that I stop and look, it's a sweet find. Saved the pages to my HD just in case.\nI did the same thing. Gonna color the pages in PS when I have time.\nLike you, I really disliked Frank Robbins' art while growing up. But after reading so much praise for his work in Back Issue and the like, I gave his stuff another chance as an adult. And I still don't like it!\nToth, however, is a god. Loved his stuff as a kid and still love it now.\nThat's part of the article I cut and pasted. But I agree. Robbins' art sucks but he is a good writer.\nThis reminds me of when I picked up this issue in a bargain bin back in the 70's for 50 cents. Cool Adams cover but when I got home I seriously wanted my 50 cents back. The interior sucked.\nI'll give you $2 for it. Quadruple your investment!\nI would but since Adams colored it; I think I will hold on to it.\nHere's where we'll agree to disagree. I LOVE Frank Robbins artwork.\nHis work had style. I prefer style to the more realistic renderings of a Neal Adams and more modern artists like John Cassaday and the like. Robbin's work was uniquely individual and, while not at all Kirby-like, shared some of the King's dynamism. And look at how he places those blacks. Perfection! I loved him on the Invaders, Captain America, the Human Fly and, to a lesser degree, Batman (which I wasn't buying too often way back when).\nI don't think he was especially suited to super hero comics, despite my affection for his contributions in that genre. Look up some of his Johnny Hazard strips; they're things of beauty. Here's a result from a super quick Google search:\nLast edited by ytrez; 06-08-16 at 07:50 AM. Reason: added image.\nI don't think he was especially suited to super hero comics\nThat I will agree with and what you posted suits his style. It sort of looks like Caniff art.\nLast edited by mrhan; 06-08-16 at 09:55 AM.\nOriginally Posted by mrhan\nYup! Robbins (and pretty much all of the cartoonists from his era) was heavily influenced by Caniff. And I mean that in a good way.\nThe examples I've seen of Robbins' newspaper work far outstrips his superhero work. (Just because The Invaders is set in WWII doesn't mean you have to draw everyone in a swastika pose.) And as mrhan points out, he was a pretty good writer (and co-creator of Man-Bat). Most of my recent comic purchases has been early Bronze Age stuff I missed the first time around, and I was pleasantly surprised by his writing in Detective. I still hate his comics art, though!\nI have two oversized collection of the earliest Terry and the Pirates strips that I've been meaning to read forever. It was such a hugely influential strip - not just in comics, but in movies, tv, and fiction as well - yet remains one of those those works that more people today know of than know firsthand.\nThat would be my critique, Robbins' style seemed far more suited to newspaper strips than comic books.\nView Next Unread High-value comic books are outperforming traditional investments",

You want to say they're both full of corrupt shitsacks, sure I'm on board with that. The Dems are not running campaigns based on rabid xenophobia, white nationalism, and fundamentalist Christianity. That's a huge difference IMO.\nInstead they are running theirs on rabid liberalism, open unsecure borders, political correctness, and pacifiers for everyone.\nWhat does it really matter what they're running their particular platforms on when they are all corrupt shitsacks my friend?\nThe end result is the same no matter who is in power. Rich assholes get rich and poor assholes stay poor. Racism isn't addressed, poverty isn't addressed, personal responsibility isn't addressed (especially if you're a politician), and the country goes to shit.\nTrump is a madman with a mouthpiece, Obama made us laughingstocks of weakness throughout the world, Bush... was Bush (nothing really needs to be said), Clinton was a piece of shit, Bush Sr. got us into a war over oil...etc\nThe very fact that the supposedly \"smarter, more accepting, more open minded, better for the country\" party lost is a sad statement of affairs, and as far as I believe... proves my point.\nA shit ton of numerous reasons that it occurred, but the end game is still the same.\nCome on man... the only thing that those bullshit articles are saying is that they don't BELIEVE that she was guilty of a quid pro quo deal, and they can't prove she wasn't.\nClinton was one of nine cabinet members and department heads that sit on the CFIUS, and the secretary of the treasury is its chairperson. CFIUS members are collectively charged with evaluating the transaction for potential national security issues, then turning their findings over to the president. By law, the committee can\u2019t veto a transaction; only the president can.\nthe uranium was not \u2014 nor could it be \u2014 exported, and remained under the control of U.S.-based subsidiaries of Uranium One,\nHere are some of the differences my friend.\nRepublicans oppose equal protection under the law for the LGBT community.\nRepublicans oppose a womans right to have control over her own body during pregnancy.\nRepublicans oppose providing affordable health care for the poor.\nRepublicans oppose the regulation of banks and investment houses who caused the last great financial collapse.\nRepublicans oppose regulations that protect clean air and water.\nOne of the biggest reasons this country has so many problems is that they have convinced people like you to give up.\nActually I think it proves my point because Trump got elected president with only about 60 million votes in a country of 300 million. They have convinced enough people that there is no difference so they don't even show up to vote.\nObama made us laughingstocks of weakness throughout the world,\nThe Obama administration was able to lead world wide coalition against Iran that forced them to halt their development of nuclear weapons. They lead another coalition that protected the anti-quaddafi rebels in Libya. They reduced Russian nuclear arms through the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty. They continued to knock out Al Qaeda by killing leaders Ossama Bin Laden and Anwar Al Awlaki.\nWe were a laughingstock back when we were running around like cowboys in a \"biggest dick\" competition starting wars that we could not win. Obama was the one that turned around our reputation on the world stage.\nIf we can't trust non-partisian sites to help us form non-bias viewpoints then we are further fucked as a nation than I thought.\n58 minutes ago, fredtoast said:\nIf you think they've stopped enrichment and work towards nuclear weapons, just follow the rest of the lemmings off that cliff. Obama gave the bastards millions and they are STILL working toward enrichment in the UNDECLARED sites. CNN is leading you by the nose. Having spent close to 30 years dealing with the Middle East, you can tell when they lie by seeing their lips move.\nLet's talk about that New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty...\nAs an ode to Jamie... http://www.factcheck.org/2017/01/obama-and-russias-nuclear-stockpile/...\n\"So, Obama is wrong to say that the treaty \u201chas substantially reduced\u201d Russia\u2019s \u201cnuclear stockpiles.\u201d Not only has Russia increased its deployed nuclear warheads, but the treaty does not require the U.S. or Russia to destroy any nuclear warheads, as Hans Kristensen, director of the Nuclear Information Project at the Federation of American Scientists, told us in an email when we wrote about this in April 2016.\n\u201cThe treaty itself does not require destruction of a single nuclear warhead,\u201d Kristensen wrote. \u201cNor does it have any direct impact on how many nuclear warheads Russia and the United States may have in their total stockpiles.\u201d\nThe U.S., on the other hand, has reduced its deployed nuclear warheads from 1,800 in February 2011 to 1,367 in September 2016 \u2014 a 24 percent decrease.\"\nSO Obama DID weaken us against our most dangerous threat.\nKnock out Al-Queda? How dense are you? Al-Queda is alive and well, and has merged with ISIL.\nOnce again... do you always swallow what the DNC/CNN gives you to eat?\nWe were stronger when we didn't cave in to bullshit countries, Muslim sympathizers, and anyone else who wanted to walk all over us.\nI'm not putting up the US Nuclear Stockpile up for discussion. I'm specifically talking about the Uranium One deal.\n1 hour ago, fredtoast said:\nWas the political process set in place by the Constitution followed?\nYes it was... and supposedly Cheetoh Boy lost the popular vote, but DID win the electoral vote. Since there is STILL ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE THAT HAS BEEN PRESENTED OF COLLUSION... heIS YOUR and EVERY AMERICAN CITIZENS PRESIDENT.\nyeah... it's all the GOP's fault that people don't vote. Only 63 million voted for Clinton, and perhaps the 177 million who didn't come out and vote for her was because they couldn't fucking stand her. It's the DNCs fault they lost because their candidate was a untrustworthy lying murderous bitch. Cheetoh Boy is no better, and America is the one suffering from fools like you who only see what your chosen political rhetoric shoves down your throat.\nSo do many democrats... Roe vs Wade hasn't been overturned as far as I know.\nThis is the funniest one, because ACA did no favor to many as well. It was a program destined to fail because with as many people as it DID help, it also caused thousands upon thousands to lose their health care because they saw their premiums skyrocket... and took away the insurance that they had previously. Your \"sweeping statement\u201d is false because it doesn't also address the thousands of small business owners who lost their business because they couldn't afford the required healthcare the government mandated . I personally know 5 people that this happened to.\nTrue, but the regulations that the DNC wants to \"impose\" is only lip service to the problem as well. None of them want the regulation that would actually ensure that we don't hit another financial collapse.\nAnother funny one... You see, my father in law was one of the founders of the EPA (seriously) and I asked him about this prior to him passing away last year. While it is partially true that the GOP is more vocal about it, it's pretty much across the board that neither party in the end will actually do anything about clean air and water unless they are forced to. Sad, but completely true.\nConvinced me to give up? Not at all, I just don't follow party rhetoric and swallow the bullshit that everyone else does. People are too blind to see that neither party gives a rats ass about them and hasn't for over 50 years or longer. The promises are always made, then broken by ALL PARTIES. I learned so much from my father in law about how Washington really works... and it's all run by big business. Most money = most power = winner winner chicken dinner. Both parties ABSOLUTELY LOVE that the citizens are concentrating on pointing out how wrong the other side is... while they do whatever the hell they want and no one says shit.\nLook at the DNC.... Sanders got dry fucked by the DNC and Clinton, so she had her run.\nThe GOP... as a laugh the put the Wretched Cheetoh up there, and he's embarrassing them all as payback.\nMorons... our entire country are morons who think they are better than someone because of ideological differences, and they are too damn proud to compromise and focus on what really needs to be fixed...\nWashington, DC and the billionaires who own them\nThat was in regard to Toast and his mindless drivel.\nJamie, where there\u2019s smoke, there is fire. I try not to take for granted that people will NOT believe ANY one source for information, but read ALL sources in the attempt to find out the possible truths about what happens in this country. I mean no offense, but if you are counting on snopes, politifavt, or ANY so called \u201cfact finder\u201d as your true north for facts, you been hoodwinked.\nAll if the fact checkers are backed by people with opinions, and those opinions color their \u201cfacts\u201d and how they report them. There are numerous outlets that have reported problems with Russian meddling with uranium deals since the early 2000s. Proven allegations that have been known to the FBI, CIA, and State Department. Do you really believe that the Clinton\u2019s haven\u2019t been getting a metric ass ton of money from foreign countries to further their political career? For fucks sake, they have been known to have been funded by Muslim countries forever.\nThe same goes for ANY republican Jamie.\nThey seriously should have to wear the fire suits that NASCAR drivers wear so that they can be honest about who owns them.\nWhy is that so hard to accept, because it is an undeniable truth. Uranium One is just the latest that has come to a head. How anyone can say that there isn\u2019t even a possibility of her making bank off that deal, as well as Obama, and the entire DNC and GOP is unbelievable to me.\nI left naive behind years ago, and can see through the subterfuge. Doesn\u2019t mean I know the answers, but I can see the evidence.\nThere was a bunch of smoke about Bengazi too\nI mean no offense, but if you are counting on snopes, politifavt, or ANY so called \u201cfact finder\u201d as your true north for facts, you been hoodwinked.\nWhere do you get your \"facts\"?\nHow do you know your source is credible?\nJamie, where there\u2019s smoke, there is fire.\nNo there isn't. That is just a lie to get people like you to believe things with no facts to back them up.\nI guess you still believe Obama was born in Kenya and there were \"death panels\" in the ACA, right? What about Benghazi? What source dod you use to find the \"truth\" about what happened there, and why were Republican congressmen who have entire staffs working to take down Hillary unable to find these \"facts\" and present them during the multiple investigations they had on the incident.\nLink to your source.\nI don't trust CNN on this. Instead I turn to the agency that is required to monitor Iran's compliance. The International Atomic Energy Agency. they say that Iran is in compliance.\nSo what is your source for proof that they are not?\nYes it was... and supposedly Cheetoh Boy lost the popular vote, but DID win the electoral vote. Since there is STILL ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE THAT HAS BEEN PRESENTED OF COLLUSION...\nBut, but, but....according to you where there is smoke there is fire, so Trump is clearly guilty of collusion with the Russians because his campaign was ran by crooks with deep ties to Russia who have repeatedly lied about all of their contact with the Russians during the campaign.\nNo smoke about that at all... those guys were left hanging out to die. She, and anyone else in the chain of command, fucked our own people and their blood is on their hands.\nWhen military, and former military, get fucked over like that... we KNOW the truth.\nWhere is your confirmed source of this? Clinton has always had ties to Russia, so she is also guilty of collusion is she not?\nLet me put this simply for you... because of my job in the US Navy, I have an extensive knowledge of missiles and military firepower.\nA ballistic is a missile guided in the ascent of a high-arch trajectory and freely falling in the descent. Long- and medium-range ballistic missiles are generally designed to deliver nuclear weapons because their payload is too limited for conventional explosives to be cost-effective in comparison to conventional bomber aircraft (though the U.S. is evaluating the idea of a conventionally armed ICBM for near-instant global air strike capability, despite the high costs).\nThe medium range missile that Iran reportedly successfully launched would be used for a nuclear warhead, along with the 7 other missiles it already has.\nThose of us who have working knowledge of the field KNOW that you don't have medium range ballistic missiles unless you already have, or are very close to having nuclear capabilities.\nBesides... take a look at the inspection agreements... what a fucking joke. Iran HAS denied inspections of it's military facilities.... what better place to hide things you don't want the world to see? Not only that, but they are/and have been the worst liars out there for decades. If the US isn't the ones in charge of inspecting, I wouldn't trust the results of those who are.\nLMAO... good one T-Dub\nI would guess they're also plenty effective for bio or chem weapons? We know they've developed chemical weapons from their war with Iraq (if not before.) While less of a threat against a prepared military target, Tel Aviv is around 2000km away which AFAIK puts it just inside the max range of their MBM's.\nThat being said, Iran seems more inclined to continue fighting a proxy war through Hezbollah. I'm not sure what it would take for them to launch an NBC weapon against a civilian target. Is Iran really that much of a threat at this point? They almost seemed halfway conciliatory before we elected a petulant shit-talking Islamophobe.",

Welcome to the forum. It's a bit unusual for someone to pull up a nearly four-year-old thread just to say \"Hello\", but that's okay.\nTopic: fog, mist, the wind, etc.\nHurricanes and typhoons are the same thing, as Drag0nspeaker noted. They just go by different names depending on where one lives. I've lost count of how many I've been through (there's that funny word again).\nTornadoes and \"twisters\" are the same thing also. I've never experienced one of those and hope I never do. Not much survives one of those if it hits something directly. Fortunately, they are relatively small and tight in shape, so the damage path is narrow, whereas hurricanes and typhoons can cover very large areas with wind and water being the major source of problems and damage.\nTopic: Through\nThe difference seems to be (looking at Wilmar's examples and FounDit's examples) that \"through\" is used of people:\n\"Are we about through?\", \"I can't wait to be through with this\", \"I'm through with waiting forever\", \"Are you quite through with blaming me?\"\nWhereas Wilmar doesn't feel that \"be through\" works when the subject is a thing like a meeting - and FounDit gives no examples of its use with a thing as a subject.\nIn British English, we would commonly use \"over\" (and no 'that'):\nJan couldn't wait for the meeting to be over so she could go home.\nOr (slightly less informal):\nJan couldn't wait for the meeting to finish/end so she could go home.\nHmm,... I thought my example of \"I can't wait to be through with this\" could cover a meeting or a task. And, \"Are we about through?\" could also be used for a task at hand, as well as a person. At least, that's how I might take them.\nAlthough your examples work fine too.\nTopic: Could\nAtat\u00fcrk wrote:\nThis sentence is OK if it refers to an ongoing possibility.\nWouldn't it be more natural to say \"on Saturday nightS\" in that case?\nIt wouldn't matter if it was one Saturday night, or many Saturday nights. The possibility of catching the train would still be possible every time.\nTopic: provide a suitable date and time vs suggest a different date (and time)\nThank you, FounDit. In your opinion, are the expressions in bold correct in the following sentences (which are meant to be used in a formal setting):\nRegardless of whether/(the fact that) an exam (is required)/(you need to take) an exam (or not), (do you know)/(are you aware) whether the degree would be recognized in such countries as X, Y, Z, ...\nSorry, I missed your call. What did you need to talk to/with me about?\n\"Regardless of whether an exam is required or not\"\n\"Regardless of the fact an exam is required/you need to take an exam\"\n\"Regardless of whether or not an exam is required/you need to take an exam\"\nAll of these can work.\nFor the next part, I think \"do you know\" and \"are you aware\" both work fine, but I would substitute the word \"if\" for \"whether\". I think it reads better that way.\nLastly, you might hear both words used, \"with\" and \"to\", but my personal preference is \"to\".\nThank you, FounDit. Only one question: with regard to the second option for the first part of the sentence, did you mean:\n\"Regardless of the fact an exam is required or not/you need to take an exam or you do not\"?\nAs I read it, the main idea in the first part is: \"regardless of the fact whether an exam is required or not\". This means that there should be no regard given to the fact, or idea, or an exam. If an exam is required, you would have to take it. If an exam is not required, then no problem. But the idea expressed is that this is not important. You do not regard that fact either way. The important part is: do you know if the degree is acceptable in countries x, y, and z?\nMaybe it's a British/American matte.\nSee 3:30:\nhttps://youtu.be/TqES1mwxjpI\nPerhaps. The speaker in the video isn't wrong, its just that in the U.S., we do use \"couldn't\" as I described. The phrase, \"He/she/they/I/we couldn't wait\" has an idiomatic meaning of \"I want this to end\" or \"I want something to happen\". So we want that possibility.\nTopic: Reasons Iran does not trust the West in General and Israel and the US in particular.\nGame of Europe ;-)\nI guess I didn't do so well. I got only 55% of them. Some of the smaller places really got me, like Andorra, montenegro and Slovenia.\nMaybe I'm misunderstanding, but, in USA, I've never heard of a \"meeting to be through\". Meetings end. I've also never heard \"meeting to close\", and rarely, \"to finish.\" Attendees will sometimes ask (only if the boss isn't there), \"are we about through?\"\nThat strikes me as odd. I've often heard, and used, \"through\" to mean \"end, or come to an end\". To make up some examples:\n\"I can't wait to be through with this.\"\n\"I'm through with waiting forever at airport terminals for delayed flights.\"\n\"I'm through with him! All he'll ever see of me again is my back!\"\n\"Are you quite through with blaming me?\"\n(the first one in the list is the only one I've ever actually said, just in case you're wondering... )\nNikitus wrote:\nFirst of all, thanks for all your help and time.\nAre the following sentences grammatically correct?\nA word is missing in the last part \u2014 \"share\", I believe is the one you want to use. That said, the sentence is overly long, and would benefit from making it into two. Additionally, the latter part about interacting with some of her students and sharing with the rest of the class seems odd.\n\"Taking advantage of the fact that she had the attention of the vast majority of her students, the teacher decided to give more dynamism to the class. She did this through an exercise in which she, through color print-outs of famous paintings, would interact with the students in her class.\"\nonsen wrote:\nWife: What is your new job like? Recently you\u2019ve been looking for one.\nHusband: I found a job as a parking attendant. It\u2019s hard work.\nW: Yes, it's hard. You\u2019ll work in the open air almost all day, I suppose. The problem is the weather.\nH: Yes. Fog, mist, the wind, blizzards, storms, typhoons, the rain, the snow, thunder.\nW: You\u2019ll have to work under such conditions.\nH: Yes, I\u2019ll manage in some way or other.\n(self-made conversation)\nThe conversation is made in such a way that the weather terms may be used in their general meanings.\nAre 'fog, mist, the wind, blizzards, storms, typhoons, the rain, the snow, thunder' correct as meaning generally?\nYes, because you are listing conditions, not specific occurrences of each.\nfog, mist, wind\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026countable, uncountable These become countable only if you are referring to a specific instance of them.

We see them on the tv, in magazines, on bus stops, on buses, at movie theaters, in schools, in public restrooms. They are all around us. Now, you will see advertisements on rental cars too.\nBudget Rent-a-Car has launched a new pilot program in Atlanta. They will cover red SUVs in an advertisement for Sheets Brand Energy Strips. In return for driving an SUV covered in advertising, Budget customers will pay roughly \u00bc the amount to rent a car that they would pay without the advertising. One customer rented an SUV with advertising for four days to drive to Florida.

        "raw_content": "A Wonderfully Worded Marriage Equality Ballot Measure August 20, 2012 Hemant Mehta\nA Wonderfully Worded Marriage Equality Ballot Measure\nI don\u2019t know how Christian groups in Maryland can complain that legalizing gay marriage would violate their religious freedom when the proposed Marriage Equality ballot measure reads like this:\nLike I said, I don\u2019t know how they could complain\u2026 but I\u2019m sure they\u2019ll find a way.\nInstead of Talking About What Atheism Isn't...\nAugust 20, 2012 A Follow-Up to the Panel of Atheists Discussing Religion, Science, and Morality\nThey forgot to protect their religious conscience, otherwise known as their right not to be viewed as a homophobic douchebag while being a homophobic douchebag. Oh, and can\u2019t forget the children. Please think of the children!\n\u2026okay, you can stop thinking about the children now, it\u2019s getting creepy.\nI\u2019m sure Robert W. will pop in to complain that Christian cake bakers aren\u2019t included in the exemption.\nThe complaint they\u2019ll make, which is always the complaint they make, whether they\u2019re overt or subtle about it, is that the law doesn\u2019t let them tell everybody else what they can and cannot do.\nI have no issue with most of this, except for this part:\nand provides that religious organizations and certain related entities are not required to provide goods, services, or benefits to an individual related to the celebration or promotion of marriage in violation of their religious beliefs.\nI\u2019m very interested in hearing more detail on this point, especially on what falls in the \u201cand certain related entitites\u201d category.\nBut, but, then schoolchildren will be forced to learn that gay people exist!\nSee? They feel guilty about their lifestyle choice, and the only way to feel better is to make everyone else homosexual so it becomes normal. That\u2019s the problem with atheists. They think we\u2019re all just animals with nothing to live for, and truth is just subjective, so nothing really matters and the human race may as well end.\n(/Pat Robertson Voice)\nIt\u2019s amazing that we\u2019re in the 21st century and an invisible sky fairy is introduced into pending legislation.\nbjsebeck\nI agree completely. I\u2019m rather surprised that segment was allowed to be put on the ballot without further clarification.\nTravshad\nMaryland passed a bill (signed by Gov. O\u2019Malley) called the \u201cCivil Marriage Protection Act\u201d. In that bill a \u201creligious organization, association, or society, or any nonprofit institution or organization operated, supervised, or controlled by a religious organization, association, or society\u201d is exempted from the law.\nOpponents of marriage equality collected enough signatures to force a referendum on the bill. People in Maryland will be voting on whether to retain or reject the law as passed by the legistature. This is not the wording of the law, just a description for the ballot.\nThis is obviously some interesting new usage of the word \u201cwonderful\u201d that I wasn\u2019t previously aware of.\nAs a gay man, marriage laws written like this one DEEPLY offend me: show me the law granting civil equality to jews or people of color or interracial couples that is 1/4 rights for the oppressed and 3/4 insurance for the bigotry of the religious. Why the hell do gay people have to take our civil rights as table scraps when everyone else gets them as a banquet?\neladnarra\nThat\u2019s what I thought, too, when reading it. The majority of that passage isn\u2019t about marriage equality; it\u2019s about trying their best to not offend the religious sensibilities of a group of people that will vote against it anyway because being gay is a \u201csin.\u201d\nShouldbeworkin\u2019\nI read it differently. I think it is considered \u201cwonderfully worded,\u201d not because it attempts to avoid offending religious sensibilities, but that it eliminates the grounds upon which those institutions would be able to object. Unless, of course, their grounds are \u201cI am a bigot and I want the laws of my state to reflect my bigoted views\u2026\u201d\nrlrose63\nI agree\u2026 a wonderfully worded one would be \u201cgay and lesbian couples are permitted full rights to civil marriage like everyone else.\u201d All these conditions to make the religious nutjobs happy is bullshit, plain and simple.\nThat was my working definition too. This wording makes it more likely for religious moderates to approve it.\nMargaret Whitestone\nWhen interracial couples were allowed to marry, did they have all of this \u201cbigots won\u2019t be forced to go against their bigotry and endure the presence of or in any way work with dirty interracial couples\u201d language in the law, or is that something they made up just for the gays?\nAs we\u2019ve found with that Hercules place, \u201crelated entities\u201d will mean any business owned by a person who is a bigot and chooses to blame it on their religion.\nRwlawoffice\nYou are correct. This attempts to limit religious expression to worship and churches only. That is not the limitation in the first amendment so even as worded it oes not protect religious liberty.",

The message of the video needs to be impactful enough to connect with the viewer. If not, then the video is not as effective as it should be. Connecting on a personal or emotional level with the viewer is critical to creating an actionable response from the viewer.\nView an example of a video with effective messaging \u2026\nWhat is the emotional response you want viewers to experience?\nThe goal of the video is to encourage the viewer to take some kind of action, whether that be buying your products or services or even simply sharing your video. Another thing to think about is why do your customers buy into your products or services? If you know the \u201cwhy,\u201d then you can connect with them even more.\nHow will the message of the video connect with the viewer on a personal level?\nSometimes this can be done by showing a testimonial. If you have a customer that you have helped transform their business or lives, then you know that there are others out there that you can help.\nWhat messages are you trying to communicate in the video?\nFirst of all, all the messages should have a positive tone to them. Secondly, what do you want the viewer to do? The message should have a call-to-action. Make them feel that if they do not contact you then they are missing out.\nAre you trying to sell your company or your company\u2019s product/services?\nStating the difference is crucial. For a brand video, you want to sell your company on why they are fit for the bill. Give a general example of what your business offers. If you are selling a specific product or service then you want to be a little bit more specific on that particular item. Give a call-to-action of purchasing that particular item.\nMake sure the details of the message are aligned with your brand.\nDepending on the type of video, stating what your brand stands for is important. Don\u2019t say something that you cant do, and don\u2019t promise something that you can\u2019t deliver.

        "raw_content": "Coal and gas-fired electricity generation last year drew less than half the record investment made in solar, wind and other renewables capacity \u2014 one of several important firsts for green energy announced in a UN-backed report.\nGlobal Trends in Renewable Energy Investment 2016, the 10th edition of UNEP\u2019s annual report, launched by the Frankfurt School-UNEP Collaborating Centre for Climate & Sustainable Energy Finance and Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF), says the annual global investment in new renewables capacity, at $266 billion, was more than double the estimated $130 billion invested in coal and gas power stations in 2015.\nAll investments in renewables, including early-stage technology and R&D as well as spending on new capacity, totalled $286 billion in 2015, some 3% higher than the previous record in 2011. Since 2004, the world has invested $2.3 trillion in renewable energy (unadjusted for inflation). (All figures for renewables in this release include wind, solar, biomass and waste-to-energy, biofuels, geothermal, marine and small hydro, but exclude large hydro-electric projects of more than 50 megawatts).\nJust as significantly, developing world investments in renewables topped those of developed nations for the first time in 2015. Helped by further falls in generating costs per megawatt-hour, particularly in solar photovoltaics, renewables excluding large hydro made up 54% of added gigawatt (GW) capacity of all technologies last year. It marks the first time new installed renewables have topped the capacity added from all conventional technologies.\nThe 134 gigawatts of renewable power added worldwide in 2015 compares to 106GW in 2014 and 87GW in 2013. Were it not for renewables excluding large hydro, annual global CO2 emissions would have been an estimated 1.5 gigatonnes higher in 2015.\nUNEP Executive Director Achim Steiner said, \u201cRenewables are becoming ever more central to our low-carbon lifestyles, and the record-setting investments in 2015 are further proof of this trend. Importantly, for the first time in 2015, renewables in investments were higher in developing countries than developed.\u201d\n\u201cAccess to clean, modern energy is of enormous value for all societies, but especially so in regions where reliable energy can offer profound improvements in quality of life, economic development and environmental sustainability. Continued and increased investment in renewables is not only good for people and planet, but will be a key element in achieving international targets on climate change and sustainable development. \u201d\n\u201cBy adopting the Sustainable Development Goals last year, the world pledged to end poverty, promote sustainable development, and to ensure healthier lives and access to affordable, sustainable, clean energy for all. Continued and increased investment in renewables will be a significant part of delivering on that promise.\u201d\nSaid Michael Liebreich, Chairman of the Advisory Board at BNEF: \u201cGlobal investment in renewables capacity hit a new record in 2015, far outpacing that in fossil fuel generating capacity despite falling oil, gas and coal prices. It has broadened out to a wider and wider array of developing countries, helped by sharply reduced costs and by the benefits of local power production over reliance on imported commodities.\u201d\nAs in previous years, the report shows the 2015 renewable energy market was dominated by solar photovoltaics and wind, which together added 118GW in generating capacity, far above the previous record of 94 GW set in 2014. Wind added 62GW and photovoltaics 56 GW. More modest amounts were provided by biomass and waste-to-power, geothermal, solar thermal and small hydro.\nIn 2015, more attention was drawn to battery storage as an adjunct to solar and wind projects and to small-scale PV systems.\nEnergy storage is of significant importance as it is one way of providing fast-responding balancing to the grid, whether to deal with demand spikes or variable renewable power generation from wind and solar. Last year, some 250MW of utility-scale electricity storage (excluding pumped hydro and lead-acid batteries) was installed worldwide, up from 160MW in 2014.\nDeveloping countries on the rise led by China and India\nIn 2015, for the first time, investments in renewable energy in developing and emerging economy nations ($156 billion, up 19% compared to 2014) surpassed those in developed countries ($130 billion, down 8% from 2014).\nMuch of these record-breaking developing world investments took place in China (up 17% to $102.9 billion, or 36% of the world total).\nOther developing countries showing increased investment included India (up 22% to $10.2 billio n), South Africa (up 329% to $4.5 billion), Mexico (up 105% to $4 billion) and Chile (up 151% to $3.4 billion).\nMorocco, Turkey and Uruguay all joined the list of countries investing more than $1 billion. Overall developing country investments last year were 17-times higher than in 2004.\nAmong developed countries, investment in Europe was down 21%, from $62 billion in 2014 to $48.8 billion in 2015, the continent\u2019s lowest figure for nine years despite record investments in offshore wind projects.\nThe United States was up 19% to $44.1 billion, and in Japan investment was much the same as the previous year at $36.2 billion.\nThe shift in investment towards developing countries and away from developed economies may be attributed to several factors: China\u2019s dash for wind and solar, fast-rising electricity demand in emerging countries, the reduced cost of choosing renewables to meet that demand, sluggish economic growth in the developed world and cutbacks in subsidy support in Europe.\nThat the power generation capacity added by renewables exceeded new capacity added from conventional sources in 2015 shows that structural change is under way.\nRenewables, excluding large hydro, still represent a small minority of the world\u2019s total installed power capacity (about onesixth, or 16.2%) but that figure continues to climb (up from 15.2% in 2014). Meanwhile actual electricity generated by those renewables was 10.3% of global generation in 2015 (up from 9.1% in 2014).\n\u201cDespite the ambitious signals from COP 21 in Paris and the growing capacity of new installed renewable energy, there is still a long way to go,\u201d said Prof. Dr. Udo Steffens, President of the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management.\n\u201cCoal-fired power stations and other conventional power plants have long lifetimes. Without further policy interventions, climate altering emissions of carbon dioxide will increase for at least another decade.\u201d\nThe recent big fall in coal, oil and gas prices makes conventional electricity generation more attractive, Dr. Steffens added. \u201cHowever, the commitments made by all nations at the Paris climate summit in December, echoing statements from lastyear\u2019s G7 summit, require a very low- or no-carbon electricity system.\u201d\nPhoto Copyright: PATRICK PLEUL / AFP Reporters\nCSP Focus 2016 China brings together the global CSP industry\nRenewable energy investments: major milestones reached, new world record set - FuturEnergy",

        "title": "Surrendering The Laundry \u2014 The Village",
        "raw_content": "The buzzer on the dryer sounds, it's time to make a decision. Do I let the clothes sit until nap time or do I save them from their wrinkled fate? Leaving them makes me twitchy, so I go for it. Right on cue, my little helper runs in to help me \u201cpack\u201d. I feel myself tense up, but take a deep breath and say, \"Sure buddy, let's pack!\"\nI think of myself as a go-with-the-flow kind of mom, but if you start messing with my laundry, the control freak comes out. I always separate clothes by color, I remain aware of certain items that cannot go in the dryer, and wrinkled clothes are not acceptable. I usually don\u2019t have time to fold immediately, but I do lay the clothes flat so by the time I get to them they\u2019re not a crumpled mess. Having a two year old who thinks doing laundry is the best thing next to goldfish crackers doesn\u2019t really mesh with my laundry plans. M doesn't have the patience to wait for my lay flat technique or the fine motor skills to accomplish it. For him it\u2019s a win if he gets a piece in the basket.\nMy control over the laundry is a strange contradiction for me. I decided before M was born that while I would listen to the advice, read the baby blogs and books, ultimately we would do what was best for us. From the day our son was born we struggled with breast-feeding. His latch wasn\u2019t quite right and he wasn\u2019t getting enough milk. Even with a snipped tongue tie, help from lactation consultants and the use of nipple shields, he lost too much weight his first week of life. After our first pediatrician appointment I was sitting on the couch trying to get him to latch, sans shields, because the doctor had convinced me there was no way to successfully feed with them. After a tortuous session that had the baby and me in tears, my mom looked over at me and said, \u201cJust do what works.\u201d\nYes, I thought with relief, do what works.\nI used those shields for 4 months and was able to feed my son.\nMy go-with-the-flow mentality meant I never followed strict schedules. He slept when he slept, ate when he ate, and was awake when he felt like it. If he cried during the night I would pick him up, rock, pat, sing, or bring him to bed with me. Now that he\u2019s a toddler it\u2019s a little more challenging, but I can still let a lot of things slide. If toys are all over his room, they\u2019ll get picked up eventually. If he wants a snack when he just had one, I say eat up. If he feels like lying down in the middle of the store, sweet, I might just join him. This doesn\u2019t mean my home is a free-for-all or that I\u2019m raising a wild child. He has rules and guidelines, but I want M to feel free to explore and discover the world with me beside him, without pulling him along or holding him back.\nI can\u2019t always be beside him. During the week I leave M with my husband, in the safe but vulnerable car, and unpredictable traffic. I hand him over to the care of his teachers for six hours a day where they are responsible for his every need. At night, I yield him to his room, his bed, and the many unknowns of the dark. There are things that can happen during these times that I cannot control. I cannot stop the car that runs the red light, a fall at school, or an unseen sickness. I cannot control him, I know that, and that\u2019s why I have to surrender him to the One who does.\nSurrendering doesn\u2019t mean that I don\u2019t worry, but it does mean that I have a place to put that worry. I believe that God is in control of my life so I can hand things over to him. Like my toddler, I too have instructions to follow, but I also have a God that is holding my hand and always by my side. What do I get from all this surrendering? Peace. Freedom. Confidence. The same things I hope M feels from me. Just as I look to God to learn and grow, M looks to me to teach him.\nI must also let him do.\nThe first time he attempted the big slide at the park he wouldn\u2019t go up without me. His little hand gripped mine with a mixture of fear and excitement, and his steps were heavy with hesitation. The second time he went alone, but cautiously he looked back several times to make sure I was there. The third time he courageously climbed to the top without searching for me because he believed that I would be waiting at the bottom. I want M to know that I will always be there, even when he can\u2019t see me. That he can look to me for guidance; bring me his problems, all while having faith in my unconditional love. My desire is that through my actions as a mother I am reflecting God\u2019s promises.\nDoes God care about my laundry? Probably not, but I do think he cares about how I approach it and the mindset that I am in when it comes time to empty the dryer. Perhaps my issue with the laundry is because I can exercise complete control over it. More importantly, I don\u2019t need to control it, and I certainly don\u2019t need the anxiety that comes with trying to maintain that control.\nPerhaps I need to treat the laundry like it\u2019s a weight to surrender to God?\nOr, perhaps I\u2019ll just surrender it to M and just hope I can embrace the wrinkles.\nThe Village JournalistsSara Consolati October 7, 2016 motherhoodComment\nThis is My Space\nKelly Estrella October 10, 2016\nThe Village JournalistsKelly Estrella October 6, 2016 selflessness, strengths, surrogacy, gestational carrier, motherhood",

By 1775, these \u201cfrontier\u201d settlements had established extensive coastal cotton and rice plantations. After the Revolution, Patriot veterans established homesteads by taking up land grants for their war services. During the early 1800s, Georgia employed a series of land lotteries to attract even more settlers. Once the federal government had evicted Georgia\u2019s Cherokee and Creek populations during the late 1820s, the stage was set for a climactic state lottery of middle and western Georgia lands in 1832.\nSet against this history of Georgia\u2019s advancing frontier, genealogist and author Jeannette Holland Austin assembled an unprecedented work that preserves the record of many of these pioneering families. Her three-volume THE GEORGIA FRONTIER is nothing less than the culmination of a career spent tracing Georgia families. Mrs. Austin, who has been actively engaged in genealogy for more than 40 years, is the author of 60 collections of genealogies, county histories, and abstracts of genealogical source records. (From 1988 to 2000 the author also served as Staff Training Director for the Jonesboro, Georgia, Family History Center.)\nTHE GEORGIA FRONTIER sets forth the genealogies of 591 families, referencing tens of thousands of Georgia settlers. The families are divided into three convenient groupings: (1) families that settled prior to 1775, (2) families that first entered Georgia between the Revolution and before the Civil War, and (3) families that migrated to Georgia from Virginia, North Carolina, or South Carolina at various periods.\nAvailable only in book form, Mrs. Austin\u2019s work is a landmark in Georgia genealogy. From today until 11:59 PM, tomorrow, November 21, 2018, you can order your three-volume set of THE GEORGIA FRONTIER at the special price of $149.95 (a savings of more than 22%),, compared to the retail price of $192.95.\n\u201cCensus Substitutes,\u201d by the late Carolyn Barkley Genetic Genealogy & the Genealogical Proof Standard (GPS)",

These workshops paired CU student volunteers with curious adults seeking out help about their technological devices, such as phones and laptops. These adults were able to ask any list of questions about any technological device to these young adults. That passionate graduate student was named Matt Isola. He was testing out these workshops as part of his Master\u2019s degree in Strategic Communication Design at CU.\nIn 2017, Leslie Getty (a filmmaker for 25 years) noticed the common issue that using today\u2019s \u201csimple technology\u201d does not come as easily or naturally to members of older generations. This problem especially bothered him as he watched his mom struggle to understand her iPad. In the beginning of 2018, Leslie heard of a graduate student who was running workshops to help with this problem\u2026 and he was running them all by himself.\nLeslie and Matt quickly connected in April, and thus the Generation Exchange was born.\nMeryl Balusek\nAnd her cat Shandy\nMeryl Balusek graduated from the University of Colorado-Boulder with a Bachelor\u2019s in Anthropology and a minor in Business Innovation in August of 2017. It is very important to her to expand her knowledge of people and places in the world. She finds great satisfaction in understanding cultures and societies different from her own. She spent the last year working on a women\u2019s empowerment project in Kochi, India. Her goal was to increase gender equality on a local scale, which she hopes will span outward and change the societal attitude towards women in India as a whole.\nShe joined the Generation Exchange team in August of 2018, and instantly fell in love with the mission of the organization. Meryl recognizes this problem as one of the major issues in American society today. She wishes that someday not only the US, but the world as a whole will be more integrated and inclusive for people of all ages. She believes that Generation Exchange empowers older adults and students, decreases social isolation, and builds an active, involved community of people.",

        "raw_content": "Home \u203a IUI \u203a IUI Procedure \u203a IUI Success\nImportant Factor For IUI Success\nIntrauterine insemination (IUI) is a simple procedure, yet there are many factors that can determine the success or failure of an IUI cycle. Take timing, for instance.\nAfter a woman ovulates, which by definition is the release of an egg from a woman's ovaries, there is only a 24 hour window in which the egg can be fertilized. For this reason, the insemination procedure must be timed to coincide with the woman's ovulation.\nIf a woman is trying a natural cycle with IUI, it makes sense for her to use ovulation prediction home-kits for the purpose of spotting the LH surge that occurs just before ovulation. But such tests only indicate that ovulation will occur in the near future. These tests cannot tell you when you will ovulate.\nIn the case where the woman has been treated with fertility drugs, a physician will be able to predict with more surety that ovulation has occurred, since these medications necessitate careful monitoring of the reproductive hormones and of the ovaries.\nTime is also a factor in preparing the sperm used in IUI, which must first be washed. Unwashed sperm are able to live up to five days in a woman's fertile cervical mucus. But sperm that is washed is believed to live for no longer than one day, though six-twelve hours is the average lifespan for washed sperm. Since washed sperm don't live long, it is crucial to time IUI to the time of the woman's ovulation if the procedure is to be successful.\nBecause of the difficulty in pinpointing the time of ovulation, your physician may advise you to have a second IUI procedure done 12-48 hours after your first insemination. The second IUI improves the chances that one of the two procedures will have coincided with ovulation. There are even doctors who will tell you to go home and make love between bouts of IUI.\nOne of the main factors in IUI success is the number of normal, motile sperm within the semen sample that is used. The higher the sperm count, the more probable it is that IUI will succeed in conception.\nBut men with good to average sperm counts have been observed to have as much success with IUI as men with high sperm counts. The success rate of IUI with good to average or high sperm counts succeed at a rate of 15%-20% for each cycle.",

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb Blog \u00bb Industry News \u00bb Do Houses In London Sell Faster?\nAccording to new data, flats in the capital cost 67pc more than in 2005, compared with a UK average increase of 38pc across all property types. So, with prices soaring in London, do we know whether houses in London are selling faster?\nIn this article, we\u2019ll examine the extraordinary tale of the London property market, compared with the broader UK market, and suggest that property is selling faster than ever in London while other regions are seeing a slowdown.\nHousing Market across the UK\nSeptember saw the largest rise in the asking price for houses in England and Wales for 13 years, according to Rightmove. They claim that the reason is cheaper borrowing methods and a lack of properties on the market, leading to what they call \u201cmarket extremes\u201d.\nTheir research informs us that the asking price for homes rose \u2013 on average \u2013 around 0.9pc, or \u00a32,550. This is the largest single monthly increase for the September period since 2002. This makes the average asking price for a home in the UK a record high of \u00a3294,834.\nThe South Leading the Way\nThe survey also discovered that the divide between England\u2019s north and south continued to sharpen, with all four southern regions seeing an average rise of 1.3pc, while northern regions actually saw a decline of 0.9pc.\nAccording to Miles Shipside, Rightmove\u2019s housing market analyst: \u201cHigh demand, lack of suitable supply, and increasingly stretched affordability are leading to some extremes in market forces in different sectors and parts of the country.\u201d\nIn London, these increases have outstripped every other part of the country over the past decade. According to research by mortgage lender Halifax, flats in the capital are 67pc more expensive to buy than they were in 2005. London terrace houses have seen an increase of 65pc climb in value over the last decade.\nOverall, London property prices are up by a staggering 61pc over the last ten years compared with the rest of the UK, which averages 38pc. According to Matthew Ellis, housing economist at Halifax:\n\u201cFlats have recorded larger price gains over the past ten years than any other property type. The national increase in flat prices has been led by London where flats account for roughly one in two property sales; substantially higher than for the country as a whole.\u201d\nIt\u2019s clear to see that London properties are in high demand, but are they actually selling faster than in the rest of the country?\nHow to Afford These Quickly Moving Targets\nThe short answer is yes. With the dire lack of housing stock in London compared to the rest of the UK \u2013 where even there, there\u2019s a shortage \u2013 means that property prices are driven up and deals are stricken at a higher rate than elsewhere.\nIf you\u2019re a first-time buyer, this makes buying in London an almost impossible task, and we are seeing young people leave the capital for more affordable cities.\nFor those looking for buy-to-let properties, London is still the home of investment. One way to afford that next property might be to take advantage of a bridging loan, which enables the owner to take out a sum of money to help them complete the buying process (I.e. pay for fees) \u2013 given that they have the capital coming in to pay back the loan in the given time. With properties selling so quickly across the country \u2013 but particularly in London, a bridging loan might be a sensible solution if you need to buy quickly.\nUltimately, houses in London are selling faster than other parts of the UK. With no real sign of slowing down, if you\u2019re going to invest in property, now is the time to do so. The only thing is, you\u2019ll have to act quickly!\nPlease read <a href=\"https://goodmove.co.uk/blog/industry-news/do-houses-in-london-sell-faster/\" title=\"Do Houses In London Sell Faster?\">Do Houses In London Sell Faster?</a> on <a href=\"https://goodmove.co.uk\">Good Move\u2122</a>",

        "raw_content": "WHAT IT TAKES-RICHARD BEN CRAMER -DOES MUCH CHANGE IN AMERICAN POLITICS ?\nPulitzer Prize winning author and journalist Richard Ben Cramer died in January of this year. Cramer is considered by many insiders to have been the best student of American presidential politics. His death brought to my attention the 1992 book What It Takes, The Way To The White House. I can only express regrets for not having devoured this magnificent work sooner.\nWhat it Takes, the detailed narrative of the 1988 presidential primary and election, is not for the casual reader. Its 1000-plus pages has been quoted as \u201d The ultimate insiders book on presidential politics.\u201d Richard Ben Cramer places under a microscope the inner thinking and personalities of those who would place themselves into the 1988 race to become President of the United States. What makes the work even more provocative is the relevancy of the 1988 election, including a bitter Democratic Primary that resembled in great part the divisive Republican Primary of 2012.\nCramer details with precision the backgrounds, personalities and political aspirations of George H.W. Bush, Bob Dole, Michael Dukakis, Gary Hart, Richard Gephardt, Joe Biden, Jesse Jackson and the lesser players as well. Of particular contemporary interest is the insight into the mind and ambitions of Joe Biden that may well play out again in the 2016 campaign for the White House. Cramer\u2019s research into the Biden personality is so complete that these pages of What It Takes could well qualify as a Biden biography! More on that to follow.\nThe 1988 Republican primary election is a match up between Vice-President George H.W. Bush and Senator Bob Dole which results in an ultimate November face-off between Bush and Democrat Michael Dukakis. While we think we know Bush better his having had What It Takes to win the presidency in 1988, Cramer\u2019s insight into how the Bush personality and family background made certain that victory is remarkable. Bush had spent a lifetime building friendships, communicating and never burning a bridge. He maintained a big picture view of the oval office. The comparison with Dukakis is stark. The Massachusetts Governor prided himself on being a micro manager and believed right up until election night that the job of the president what that of a manager with the words \u201cleader and vision\u201d rarely in his campaign vocabulary.\nIn many ways What it Takes is a series of biographies. While the book is commendable for this reason alone, don\u2019t look for neat compartmentalized chapters on each personality. Cramer\u2019s prose and story telling is much more sophisticated. The reader will learn why Bob Dole, the \u201cBobster\u201d became the \u201cHatchet Man,\u201d why Gary Hart\u2019s personality demanded that even after withdrawing over the Donna Rice scandal, he re-entered the race in denial that he had no chance. Joe Biden withdrew over a plagiarism scandal and re-entered the campaign only to be sidelined a second time by a nearly fatal aneurism. Richard Gephardt worked harder than any Democratic candidate but failed to find a message. There is Kitty Dukakis, Barbara Bush, Jill Biden, Lee Hart, Lee Gephardt and of course Elizabeth Dole.\nAlong with all of the candidates the \u201cpress\u201d and of course the handlers, consultants and political advisors have a constant presence in the narrative bringing out the often shameless positions that candidates take to win elections. Paraphrasing Cramer, the presidential election process \u201d cheapens the issues or ignores them, reduces the dialogue to noise, is spendthrift, exhausting and hurtful.\u201d Cramer leaves no doubt the attaining the presidency is a brutal obsession and leaving little left of individuality. Winning the presidency and moving into the bubble changes very little.\nA most memorable reference from What it Takes concerns the first Gulf War, Desert Storm. How did President Bush manage to put together the coalition to force Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait? \u201cHe was the only man alive who had personal friends as the heads of states in 30 countries. \u201d He called in the favors.\nMy takeaway is that George H.W. Bush was the only candidate in 1988 who understood in totality what was required to be elected president and who was willing to make the sacrifices to attain the goal. He had learned that from a life-time in public service and from his family\u2019s heritage. Ironically, four years later Bush 41 may not have had the willingness to repeat the same sacrifices necessary to defeat Bill Clinton in 1992. Yet, after the fray, they became good friends.\nWhat it Takes is a big commitment of time but if you love the American political system and wish to gain a rare biographical insight into the minds of the players in 1988 your investment will be rewarding. Like all good historical research and writing the knowledge gained is relevent in the present. Listen to what Bob Dole said at a convention of Young Republicans in Seattle in 1988. \u201d Conservative does not mean callous. I\u2019d like to see fifty wheelchairs in this audience, fifty black faces, fifty Hispanics, fifty Asian Americans. We have a responsibility to open up the doors of this party.\u201d Did anyone in the 2012 GOP inner circle hear the Bobster or were his words simply lost in the cacophony of just another campaign?\nOther books by Richard Ben Cramer: Ted Williams: The Seasons of the Kid (1991), Bob Dole (1994), Joe DiMaggio: The Hero\u2019s Life (2000), What Do You Think of Ted Williams Now?

        "title": "Medicinal and therapeutic use of CBD oil - How pets can benefit from it?",
        "raw_content": "Medicinal and therapeutic use of CBD oil \u2013 How pets can benefit from it?\nMedicinal and therapeutic use of CBD oil - How pets can benefit from it?\nBy Charlie Brown\t On Dec 20, 2018\nThese days there is quite a buzz about the therapeutic use of CBD or cannabidiol for dogs and cats. Already there is growing clamor about the positive effects of CBD on humans when used for medicinal purposes, and pet lovers and vets are now keen to extend the same benefits to the four-legged domestic animals that are our close companions. CBD is a derivative of marijuana but far from addictive as it does not have any psychoactive properties which make it acceptable for exploring its medicinal qualities. However, the law is yet not much clear about CBD because of its links to cannabis even though it comes from the hemp plant. Hemp belongs to the cannabis species but does not contain THC which makes it different from marijuana that can stone people.\nCBD and THC \u2013 the differences\nMarijuana or cannabis plant contains both cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), and these belong to the same chemical family known as cannabinoids which are unique compounds. Perhaps marijuana would never be so popular had it not been for THC because it is the psychoactive agent that imparts all attraction to marijuana due to its capability of providing \u2018high\u2019 and turning people \u2018stone.\u2019 On the contrary, CBD does not have any psychoactive properties, but its medicinal qualities have attracted the medical fraternity to put it to good use for humans as well as animals.\nCannabis oil is good for dogs\nDogs suffering from a host of ailments like nausea, seizures, anxiety, stress, back pain, arthritis, symptoms of cancer as well as gastrointestinal issues are now treated with CBD oil or similar products that come in the form of treats and chews to make it easy for the animal to ingest. Until now, the efficacy of CBD for pets like cats and dogs remained a matter of debate because of lack of any research in the field. Despite growing interest in CBD for the treatment animals, there was no encouragement given to research because of legal issues that classify CBD as a Controlled Substance and schedule I drug. Now that more and more states in the US are legalizing cannabis or marijuana, research is gaining momentum.\nBoost for research\nSeveral research projects are underway that aim at exploring the various medicinal uses of CBD for pets. Since 2016, Dr, Stephanie McGrath a neurologist by qualification and serving the College of Veterinary medicines and Biomedical Sciences as an assistant professor at Colorado State University has completed two clinical studies on the effects of CBD on dogs suffering from epilepsy or seizures. She has received a grant from the American Kennel Club in January 2018 to begin a three-year study on dogs based on the same topic. The legislation is likely to come up in New York and California that would legalize the discussion of cannabis between veterinarians and pet lovers.\nPromote the overall well-being of pets\nAlthough all discussions about using CBD for pets revolve around its medicinal use, vets and pet lovers are ready to go a step ahead and use it for therapeutic purposes too for ensuring the overall well-being of pets. Just like humans, dogs also go through bouts of anxiety and depression, and it is extremely important to support the animal in maintaining calmness and stop dog anxiety with hemp or CBD oil. CBD can treat several illnesses, and its continuous use can ensure a happy and healthier life of pets by taking care of its physical and mental health. Therefore, using CBD oil treats or chews as regular supplements pet owners who want their pets to lead a happy life free from anxiety and depression.\nCBD is effective in pain management\nCBD acts on the endocannabinoid system of the body that helps to manage pain by providing relief. The relief comes in different ways like CBD can inhibit the absorption of anandamide, a chemical that weakens the pain signals that reach the brain. When absorption stops, the production of anandamide increases and that helps to reduce pain. Besides reducing pain CBD possesses strong anti-inflammatory properties which are put to good use in the treatment of arthritis as its pain reducing properties extends good support in controlling the condition.\nCBD is anti-convulsant\nCannabidiol is highly effective in controlling seizures, tremors, spasms, and tics in dogs and cats. Those familiar with alternative medicines would be aware of the anticonvulsant properties of CBD that occurs in the compound naturally. Although it is yet not clear exactly how CBD works as an anti-convulsant, there are numerous instances that pet lovers can cite when CBD came to the rescue when their dog or cat had experienced bouts of seizures.\nDogs can be susceptible to marijuana toxicity\nAlthough CBD used in controlled dosage is good for dogs, marijuana can be harmful to the animal if ingested orally. While CBD oil, tinctures, chews and treats are specially produced for dogs and cats, having free access to marijuana can cause poisoning in dogs. Dogs are fond of the taste of marijuana and will consume it in any form including plants, buds, joints, and baggies. They may even consume cookies and baked marijuana products. With more and more states in the US legalizing marijuana, the threat of marijuana poisoning in dogs is on the rise.\nDogs that consume marijuana can become inebriated just like humans, and even though it may look funny, the matter is serious enough to seek help from a veterinarian for proper medical treatment. The vet should be able to identify the condition and confirm that it is a case of marijuana poisoning because the symptoms are very similar to some other neurological conditions.\nWhen administering CBD to dogs be very careful to select the right dosage in consultation with a vet. The most common fear is that dogs may experience \u2018high\u2019 due to excess THC that can last from a few hours to a few days depending on the extent of overdose.

        "title": "Patient Engagement Starts with Providers Talking about Portals",
        "raw_content": "Patient Engagement Starts with Providers Talking about Portals\nDecember 18, 2014 - Providers must take the lead in educating their patients about the existence, use, and benefits of online portals if they wish to reap the rewards of a knowledgeable patient who is active in her own care, finds the most recent annual survey from Xerox gauging consumer attitudes towards electronic health records and patient engagement. Sixty-four percent of Americans do not currently use patient portals, but for 35% of patients, that is because they are simply unaware that patient portals exist. The other thirty-one percent said their physician had never mentioned the feature to them.\nIn order to increase engagement, says Tamara St. Claire, Chief Innovation Officer of Commercial Healthcare for Xerox, providers must make a concerted effort to alert patients to this new technology while tailoring their message to make the information stick.\nWhile only a third of patients may be using portals at the moment, more than half of non-users expressed willingness to become more engaged, interested, and proactive in their care if they did receive access to their EHR data online. But providers need to be more proactive themselves if they wish to sign up enough patients to meet the minimum 5% patient engagement threshold for Stage 2 meaningful use.\n\u201cPhysicians just aren\u2019t having that dialogue,\u201d St. Claire said to HealthITAnalytics. \u201cWhen we look at some of the best practices out there, we see that having that conversation multiple times along the patient\u2019s path through the office is most effective. And we think having that conversation directly with their physician is going to be most important. People really want to hear it from their physician, because they\u2019re that trusted source. Even as medicine is changing, having that talk with the physician is probably going to have the most impact.\u201d\nThe survey of more than 2000 patients was somewhat divided along generational lines, with millennials and baby boomers reporting different ideas about what they like to see and do when it comes to online engagement. Baby boomers, aged 55 to 64, are already logged in at extremely high rates. Eighty-four percent of these patients already communicate with their providers online. Seventy percent schedule appointments, two-thirds review or access their medical data, and 58% refill prescriptions.\n\u201cBaby boomers are really using portals on this transactional basis,\u201d St. Claire says. \u201cFor them, the utility of a patient portal is about efficiency in terms of this transactional approach. Providers should tailor that message by saying they can do a lot of things a lot easier if they were to engage with a portal. We know that message is probably going to be sticky for boomers. We know approximately two-thirds of them are living with chronic conditions, so being able to target that message around chronic disease may be a sticking point as well.\u201d\nMillennials, meanwhile, have different expectations. \u201cWhen we think of millennials, we know that they want to see things that are individualized for them,\u201d St. Claire explains, noting that 44% of patients aged 18 to 34 wanted to view tailored recommendations or learn more about other services their healthcare provider has available. \u201cEngaging them is about providing them with an interaction that really suits their lifestyle, whether that\u2019s through smartphones or tablets or other devices.\u201d\nProviders that have just spent tens of thousands of dollars on EHR implementations may be leery of purchasing portals with the advanced capabilities and flashy features that will attract the younger generations, but healthcare organizations should see the additional outlay not only as a way to avoid payment adjustments for failing to meet meaningful use, but as an investment in achieving the Triple Aim.\n\u201cIf we think about the results of an engaged patient, it\u2019s to reduce the cost of care, improve outcomes, and provide better individualized care,\u201d says St. Claire. \u201cI think we\u2019re really beyond that first generation of patient portals. If we think about reducing the cost of care and improving outcomes, the ROI is there now.\u201d\n\u201cWe can make the argument that there\u2019s a reduced cost of care when you improve outcomes, but one of the things we\u2019ve found in our survey is that when people have access to a rich portal, they\u2019re more engaged in their care. We know that produces better outcomes. So the argument is pretty hardened now.\u201d\nHHS Awards $665M to Boost Healthcare Analytics, Payment Reform",

It is said, that when Mrs. Wilcox went on a trip to the East, she met a woman on the train that spoke of her country home in Ohio named after a Dutch settlement called \u201cHollywood.\u201d Daeida liked the sound of it so much that when she returned to home to Southern California she bestowed the name on the family ranch.\nDuring those days Hollywood was still separated from the well-established city of Los Angeles by over 7 miles of citrus groves.\nHollywood briefly incorporated as a town in 1903 but that only lasted for 7 years until they voted to become a part of Los Angeles to gain access to their water. Clearly it was very, very dry in Hollywood. But before joining with L.A they managed to outlaw liquor (contributing to their dryness) and forbid herds of cattle larger than 200 being driven down the streets of town, which, when you think about it, seems like a pretty good rule in general.\nTags : hollywood sign, hollywood watch company, hollywoodland, hwc, los angeles",

        "raw_content": "Australian singer Hayley Jensen was by her father's side when he lost his battle with lymphoma\n'In an instant he was gone'\nAustralian singer Hayley Jensen almost missed her father's death.\nJensen, 35, had been caring for her 60-year-old dad, Rod Thomas, during the final stages of lymphoma when he asked his daughter to go to the shops and buy him a soft woollen underlay for his bed.\n\"He just wanted his bed to be more comfortable,\" Jensen tells 9Honey. \"I hadn't left him alone the whole time he'd been home from hospital and I was reluctant to go, but my husband Kris was there and he kept telling me he'd be alright for us to go and to get the best one I could find.\"\nThe last photo taken of Hayley and her father at the Tamworth Country Music Festival earlier this year. (Supplied )\nWhile she was at the shops, the singer received a frantic call from her dad telling her to come back quickly.\n\"He had a major infection and was breaking out in a sweat,\" Jensen says. \"The bed was saturated by the time I got back.\"\nThe singer says she had trouble getting hold of her father's carers so called an ambulance, however her dad refused to go.\n\"A couple of hours later he started losing his breath,\" Jensen recalls. \"It was just horrible.\"\nWith his final breaths, Thomas asked for his puffer which had been organised for him after he developed breathing problems.\nRELATED: Rare form of cancer on the rise\n\"It was really traumatic,\" Jensen recalls. \"I didn't want to see him go but I knew he didn't want to be revived because we'd had that conversation.\"\nAs time goes by, Jensen says she's grateful she was there with him for his final moments, to let him know how much she loved him.\nHayley Jensen and her father Rod had always shared a special bond. (Supplied )\nLymphoma is cancer of the lymphatic system, the body's disease-fighting network, and it can include the lymph nodes, spleen, thymus gland and bone marrow.\nThe main types of lymphoma are Hodgkin's lymphoma and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.\n\"He was always my biggest supporter,\" Jensen says of her father. \"His walls were covered in posters of me singing and album covers. He was a big music lover and music was always on at home.\"\nJensen says a particular favourite was Eagles: Hell Freezes Over and they watched it together often during his last few weeks.\nIn fact it was her father who suggested she perform 'Angel' by Sarah McLachlan on Australian Idol, the song that helped put her on the map.\nRod Thomas suffered from a rare and aggressive form of the cancer called Mantle Cell Lymphoma which is fast-growing and requires immediate treatment.\nAt the time he was diagnosed with the cancer - in 2014 - Thomas was living in Wodonga in Victoria and had to travel to Melbourne for treatment up to a four-hour drive away.\nDespite her parents divorce, Jensen remained close to her father until his death from cancer in 2016. (Supplied )\n\"It was really quite traumatic for him to have to leave his home to go all the way to Melbourne for treatment, to not be in his home and around his family,\" she says.\nWhile the Leukaemia Foundation offered Thomas a range of services to help support him, Jensen says she wanted to be there for her father as she was his only child.\n\"Mum and dad separated when I was young, so it was really just me and dad going through this and trying to navigate our way through it,\" she says.\nThe nightmare began one day when, while putting on deodorant, Thomas noticed a lump under his arm.\n\"Knowing him I probably didn't hear about it until a few months after that,\" she says. \"By the time he found out what it was, he told me he was well into stage four.\"\nJensen says doctors initially told her father that his cancer was treatable, but further treatment revealed the devastating truth.\n\"He actually went to his doctor after he found the lump and when they got the test results they told him it was good news, that he had cancer but they could fix it,\" she says. \"They told him they'd send him to Melbourne to get more tests done and treatment and he should be right.\"\nHe began treatment and was even in remission at one stage. Jensen says he even went back to work part-time as a grader driver.\n\"But he'd lost a lot of sensation in his fingers and toes and he was also finding it hard to concentrate,\" Jensen recalls. \"And it did come back sadly. The lump came back under his arm.\"\nThey remained hopeful until the very end. (Supplied )\nAt that stage the only option was to put Thomas on a trial drug which wouldn't save his life, but may extend it.\n\"It gave us another six months or so together,\" Jensen says of their final months together. \"Unfortunately there were side effects such as his platelet levels falling, so they had to take him off it.\"\nJensen and husband Kris were in Japan when they received a call from Thomas telling them he was in extreme pain.\n\"He had an appointment in an hour and was trying to hold out,\" she says. \"I told him to go to the hospital but he went to the doctor instead. They sent him to hospital and it was quick from that point.\"\nJensen recalls her father being in so much pain, so she flew in from Sydney to be with him and find out exactly what was going on.\n\"He had pains in his stomach and thought there was something else wrong,\" she says. Instead, the cancer had spread and Thomas was living on borrowed time.\n\"It was the end of the journey at that point,\" she says. \"I was sitting in the courtyard of the hospital allowing dad time to rest when the doctor came over and told me there was nothing more they could do.\nJensen says her dad was her biggest supporter when it came to music. (Supplied )\n\"It was the darkest day of my life and then going back into the hospital and having to work through that with him...I think we had so much hope for so long.\"\nJensen says she tried to stay positive for her father but quickly learned how ruthless cancer can be.\nHer father wanted to die at home, like so many suffering from terminal illnesses.\n\"He hated being in hospitals,\" she says. \"He wanted to be in his own bed in his own chair in his own home, so we basically got sent home with an armful of medications and a phone number to call.\"\nWhen it became clear Thomas didn't have long, husband Kris joined her. They'd been told her dad could have a month left to live once he left hospital that final time.\nHe lasted 10 days.\nShe remembers her father saying, \"They've kept me alive for long enough, I just want to go.\"\nJensen told her dad she didn't want him to go, but he was just in so much pain.\nThe father and daughter attended the Tamworth Country Music Festival together in January 2016 where he watched Jensen perform. He passed away in April.\nJensen has written a song for her dad called 'You With Me', released on her new album Turning Up The Dial.\n\"I feel like he is always with me,\" she says. \"I still do feel he is with me and I hear his voice telling me to go for it and don't ever give up and to keep up with the music.\nJensen has today as a Gold Ambassador for the 'Light The Night' event for the Leukaemia Foundation (Supplied)\nHayley Jensen was today announced as a Gold Ambassador for the 'Light The Night' event for the Leukaemia Foundation on October 5, when lanterns will light up the night sky in capital cities around the country in memory of the many Australians who have died from blood cancers.\nLight The Night is the only event in Australia that brings together people affected by blood cancer.

        "title": "Breaking: CNN sues White House to get Acosta's pass back; WH responds: \"Mr. Acosta is no more or less special...\"",
        "raw_content": "This should be a real ratings winner for both sides, right? CNN followed up on its threat to take the White House to court over Jim Acosta\u2019s expulsion, filing a lawsuit this morning in federal court. CNN wants a temporary injunction that allows Acosta back into the briefing room, and then \u201cpermanent relief\u201d to make sure he can stay there:\nCNN filed a lawsuit against the Trump Administration this morning in DC District Court. It demands the return of the White House credentials of CNN\u2019s Chief White House correspondent, Jim Acosta. The wrongful revocation of these credentials violates CNN and Acosta\u2019s First Amendment rights of freedom of the press, and their Fifth Amendment rights to due process. We have asked this court for an immediate restraining order requiring the pass be returned to Jim, and will seek permanent relief as part of this process. While the suit is specific to CNN and Acosta, this could have happened to anyone. If left unchallenged, the actions of the White House would create a dangerous chilling effect for any journalist who covers our elected officials.\nThe complaint itself insists that the \u201chard pass\u201d is required for regularly assigned beat reporters to do their jobs, which is indisputable. The complaint then argues that this requires the White House to provide them to the reporters that media outlets assign for that job, which is somewhat less indisputable. It might be good policy for the White House to do so, and in fact it is good policy, lest an administration turn access into a commodity. But good policy does not always have a federal law dictating it either, and so a federal judge might not have much standing to order the White House to give CNN that access, and perhaps especially not for Jim Acosta specifically.\nIt does make a good point about the limitations of the Secret Service in assessing security clearances:\nGenerally, the Secret Service may grant or deny a request for a security clearance made in connection with an application for a White House press pass. 31 C.F.R. \u00a7 409.1. However, the Secret Service\u2019s discretion is expressly limited. Secret Service officials making that decision must \u201cbe guided solely by the principle of whether the applicant presents a potential source of physical danger to the President and/or the family of the President so serious as to justify his or her exclusion from White House press privileges.\u201d Id. In applying that standard, the Special Agent in Charge of the Secret Service, Technical Security Division must apply designated procedures governing notices, responses, and hearings regarding decisions about applications.\nThat might be true, but it also might not be germane. The White House made it clear that the administration didn\u2019t like what Acosta did during the November 7th press conference and that they were revoking the press pass themselves. Their reason was that Acosta \u201claid hands\u201d on an intern, which is ridiculous hyperbole, but ridiculous hyperbole doesn\u2019t violate federal law, either. The complaint goes into great detail in refuting this charge, but in the end it doesn\u2019t really matter. If the White House revoked his hard pass on the basis of refusing to give up the microphone when asked, it would have been more defensible, but CNN would still have filed this lawsuit nonetheless.\nIt\u2019s very difficult to see how revoking Acosta\u2019s hard pass \u201cviolates the First Amendment,\u201d as this complaint alleges as its first cause of action, even if one thinks the revocation was a dumb move or overreaction. CNN could have assigned another reporter to the beat and gotten him or her a \u201chard pass.\u201d It\u2019s understandable why they don\u2019t want to do that \u2014 they\u2019d be seen as caving to the Trump administration \u2014 but that doesn\u2019t rise to the level of infringing on the right to free speech and freedom of the press. The latter doesn\u2019t mean \u201creporters get to act out and self-promote without consequences,\u201d and that\u2019s precisely what Acosta\u2019s been doing for a long time. (Even some of his colleagues agree on that point.) Nor is there really a Fifth Amendment claim to due process, as revocation of a hard pass is neither a criminal nor regulatory process. The White House has the right to determine the conditions for access to its facilities and events, even if they do so with their own motives in mind.\nOf course, a federal judge might decide to take some action anyway, but even if an injunction gets issued, don\u2019t expect to see Acosta back in action at the White House immediately. The White House would immediately appeal any such decision, as will CNN if they get denied. This show might go all the way to the Supreme Court, which will delight the reality-TV-drenched players on both sides of this case to no end.\nUpdate: The White House Correspondents Association\u2019s president, Olivier Knox, issued a statement strongly supporting \u201cCNN\u2019s goal\u201d in the lawsuit:\nMORE: White House Correspondents' Association \"strongly supports CNN\u2019s goal of seeing their correspondent regain a US Secret Service security credential that the White House should not have taken away in the first place,\" WHCA president says. https://t.co/3zks8kB20A pic.twitter.com/SiuHwu82FS\nThat\u2019s largely correct as a matter of policy and public good, and the White House is wide open to criticism on this point. However, it\u2019s still far from clear that CNN can sue Jim Acosta back into access to the White House, and that might be why Knox is supporting CNN\u2019s \u201cgoal\u201d here.\nUpdate: The White House has responded by noting that CNN has dozens of people with hard passes, and by skewering Acosta\u2019s narcissism:\nIn response to CNN lawsuit, White House says \"this is just more grandstanding from CNN, and we will vigorously defend against this lawsuit,\" and provides a defense of its decision to revoke Jim Acosta's press pass. https://t.co/i0VEal8B3Z pic.twitter.com/iew3izeAq4\nNote, though, that this statement dispenses with the \u201claid hands\u201d allegation. Instead, as I suggested, they have rethought their rationale to focus on Acosta\u2019s refusal to cooperate with the White House on orderly briefings. Those arguments are likely to hold up better in the courtroom.\nTags: CNN Fifth Amendment First Amendment jim acosta lawsuit White House",

        "raw_content": "India\u2019s Start-up Policy\nJanuary 22, 2016 February 27, 2016 Shiksha IAS Academy\nAs part of a bunch of measures that constitute the action plan for government\u2019s start-up initiative, the centre will shortly be setting up a Fund of Funds that would invest in private venture capital funds.\nThe fund will be set up with the initial corpus of 10,000 crore (about $1.5 billion). However, it will be deployed in tranches of Rs.2,500 crore over a period of four years. India\u2019s venture capitalists are very happy with this announcement.\nPlease note that the idea of a fund of funds isn\u2019t new. Finance minister Arun Jaitley had earmarked Rs.10,000 crore for a fund of funds nearly 18 months ago in the Union Budget 2014-2015. The fund of funds announced as part of start-up action plan is a reiteration, rather a repackaging of the July 2014 budget proposal with some clarity on how it will be structured and managed.\nWho can use this fund?\nThe fund of funds will invest in venture capital funds registered with markets regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi).\nWhy we need this fund?\nPresently, the domestic venture capital industry is practically non-existent in the country. The country\u2019s venture capital industry, consisting mostly of foreign firms, currently raise more than 90% of their capital from foreign institutional investors, commonly known as limited partners. Thus, it is necessary to stimulate the growth of the domestic venture capital industry.\nWhy is it important to encourage the growth of a domestic venture capital industry that is not overwhelmingly dependent on foreign capital?\nIt is because of the following reasons-\nFirms backed by foreign capital tend to jump towards start-ups that replicate business models that have been successful in the US, or in other developing markets. Their limited partners are understandably more comfortable with that strategy.\nThe dependence on foreign capital makes firms in India vulnerable to the ups and downs of those markets. While the Indian venture capital market is not currently strapped for capital and India remains an attractive investment destination for global limited partners, even a tremor in the US economy or venture capital market could trigger a major upset here.\nThe fund of funds aims to address the above mentioned concerns by specifically investing in funds that will, in turn, invest in sectors such as health, education, manufacturing and agriculture.\nChallenges before the venture capital industry:\nAccording to data compiled by Chennai-based Venture Intelligence, in 2015, venture capital investments in India stood at about $1.8 billion. Therefore, Rs.10,000 crore is not sufficient to spur the growth of this industry.\nThe government has announced that it intends to contribute up to 50% of the stated corpus of a Sebi-registered venture capital fund. However, the problem here is that it is quite difficult for these funds to raise the rest 50%. Added to it, the government contributes 50% only after the Sebi-registered fund has already raised commitments from other investors for the balance 50%.\nThese venture capital funds do not have access to a large pool of domestic institutional capital. Even the banks and insurance companies cannot help them as their investment limits are capped at 10% of the overall corpus of a Sebi-registered venture capital fund.\nHence, the only sources of domestic capital currently available to venture capital funds are HNIs (high net-worth individuals) and family offices. However, neither is incentivised enough, through tax concessions, to put meaningful money into play in venture capital funds.\nThis leaves domestic venture capital funds with no option but to raise but to raise capital from overseas investors. Even that is not easy because of a complex regulatory framework.\nAs a result, most domestic venture capital funds have to adopt a dual fund structure (in which capital raised from foreign investors is parked in a separate offshore fund).\nWhy some people are not happy with the formation of this fund?\nCritics argue that it is not prudent, even proper, on the part of the government to invest taxpayers\u2019 money in venture capital funds, which will in turn invest in enterprises that carry a high risk of failure.\nAn advisory panel set up by Sebi and led by Infosys founder N.R. Narayana Murthy has just submitted a report suggesting reforms to make the fund-raising environment for venture capital funds more conducive. The government has assured that it will soon address their concerns.\nWhat qualifies a start-up?\nWhile it remains unclear whether tech start-ups have anywhere near the potential to create the kind of employment that India needs, the government on its part has done well to give these start-ups the necessary ammunition to get on with value creation with the minimum of government interface. Overall, while the intent is praiseworthy and there are many laudable ideas in the policy, much in the fine print needs attention if its goal is to be realised. However, on the other hand it appears that the launch of the fund of funds at this juncture is more a case of putting the cart before the horse. And, it certainly isn\u2019t the most efficient use of taxpayers\u2019 money.\nTagged Employment, Make in India, Policies, Policy decisions, Start-up\nPrevious postPower Tariff Policy\nNext postFourth Industrial Revolution",

Placing both hands on my shoulders and smiling, she said, \u201cNow, I am beautiful.\u201d That really hit me. My job is to focus on [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.]development, health, [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.]and [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.]; to make sure Charity-Wateris projects are work\u00acing in 20 years.

Today we made someone feel beautiful.\u201d\nBefore she had clean water, Helen would wake up before dawn, take her only two [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.] Jerry Cans, and walk almost a mile and a half to the nearest water point, which happens to be at a school. Because there simply wasn\u2019t enough water for the area\u2019s population, she\u2019d wait in line with [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.]of other women who also [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.]clean water. Helen\u2019s only other option was to skip the wait and collect [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.]water from a pond.\nHelen spent most of her day [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.]and waiting.

Should I wash my children\u2019s [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.]? Should I use it to cook a meal? Should we drink this water?\u201d With two children, [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.]and [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.], Helen had to make choices. I saw the shame in her eyes when she [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.]how she would return from her long trek to find her two young chil\u00acdren waiting for her. They were often sent home from school because their [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.]were dirty.\nWith the new well in her village, her life was [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.].\nShe now had choices: free time: options. Also, Helen had been chosen to be the Water Committee [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.], collecting nominal fees from [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.]to use for the maintenance of their well.

Come in. Have a seat.\nJ: Thank you. Do you have a few minutes now to do the interview?\nK: Yes, that\u2019s fine.\nJ: Great! I got the idea to do this [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.]because, well, everyone I know is rather [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.]about how to get references from [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.]when they need them for [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.]for jobs or [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.]studies. And I thought, since you\u2019re a professor, and you\u2019ve been working as a student [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.]for many years also, what better person to ask.\nIt Yes, I have got some advice I can share on this topic. Where shall we begin?\nJ: First of all, do you mind if j record our [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.]?\nK: No. I dont mind.\nJ: Thanks. Do you write many references yourself?\nK: Oh yes, I certainly do! Let\u2019s see, it\u2019s [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.]of course, but I\u2019d say I average at least [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.].\nJ: My goodness! That\u2019s nearly five per month! It\u2019s more than one per week!\nK: Yes, it\u2019s a lot. And of course, most of the [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.]are made in the spring or early summer, when students are starting to think seriously about where they will be heading after they [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.]in June.\nJ: Do most professors do so many?\nK: Yes, it\u2019s part of the job. Of course, because I\u2019m an advisor, students probably feel like I know them rather better than some pro\u00acfessors, so I probably get a few more than I would [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.].\nJ: Alright, so what do we students need to know in terms of asking for references or letters of [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.]? It\u2019s incredibly daunting, actually, [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.]since we have such large classes. I\u2019m not sure if my professors even know who I am!\nIt Yes, that\u2019s probably the biggest issue students face in getting references. You will [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.]have to contact former Professors even if you have never spoken to them outside of class. Following on this, if I were giving a [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.]student advice, I would say to make sure you\u2019ve had [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.]with several Professors outside of class so you won\u2019t be a [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.]. All it takes is visiting during office hours, even if it\u2019s just to say \u201cHello, I\u2019m enjoying your [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.]\u201c.\nJ: But what if we didn\u2019t do that?\nK: Then you\u2019ll just have to contact your professor anyway. Make a [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.]call; tell him or her who you are, and what classes you [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.], this sort of thing. Remember, for your professor, recalling an [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.]student out of hundreds and hundreds isn\u2019t easy. So tell him or her what course you took, and what [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.]and year it was. Include what grade you got and anything [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.]. Perhaps you spilled your [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.]. Though at the time it wasn\u2019t funny it might be enough for Professor Brown to remember you and it won\u2019t shed any [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.]light on you; it was an [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.]. Or perhaps, although you never spoke outside of class, you went up and asked a question that was a great one. Any information you can give to [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.]yourself is going to help you out\nJ: Should I visit Professor Brown in person?\nK: Yes, that would be ideal. I would suggest giving the information first over the phone, then follow up by [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.]it to your professor.

This will be both a physical reminder of who you are and also another chance to make a good [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.].\nJ: Isnt it very difficult to write [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.]for all these students you\u2019ve never spoken to or really even met?\nK: Yes; for example, I was recently called by a student from [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.] ago! He lived in another country. I really didn\u2019t recall him.\nHe told me a little about himself and I looked back at his records. I told him that all I could do was [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.]that he was in my class, that he [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.]for all the classes and that he received a [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.] in my class. Sometimes Pm very surprised that students who did very poorly in my class ask me for a [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.].\nJ: What do you do in that case? Give a poor reference?\nIt I, like most Professors I know, never say anything negative about the student; however it is what is [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.]that can say it all.

The story should come out in our next printing, so if you\u2019re interested I\u2019ll drop one copy over to you.\nK: I\u2019ll be looking forward to seeing it.\nGood morning; today\u2019s lecture will be about [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.] behaviour. Up until now I\u2019ve talked mostly about [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.]features: how they apply to living primates; how we use them for [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.]; how they apply to the fossil record. But human [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.]isn\u2019t simply about how we\u2019ve changed [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.]over the last [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.]years; it\u2019s also about how our behaviour has changed.\nNow, if I asked you to define what is meant by the term \u201chuman\u201d, you could probably, hopefully, give me a list of [\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.]that physically define us.

I don\u2019t want to mention a lot of different behaviours without first mentioning cognition. Cognition is the amount of thought that goes into a behaviour.

        "raw_content": "The line graph shows information about the salary players of three sports received on a yearly basis (measured in dollars) over a period of 31 years from 1970 to 2000.\nIt is clear from the graph that there was a significant rise in the wages of these sport players over the period shown. However, overall, the players of basketball received the highest salary. In 1970. the wages all the players had were low with about 100. These figures increased slightly to around 250 in 1980. a rise of 150 in comparison with the original salary. Nonetheless, the wages of basketball and baseball players experienced exponential increase from roughly 250 to over 2.300 and approximately 1.600 respectively between 1980 and 2000. The period from 1980 to 1990 recorded a slight rise to about 400 for football players before their wages climbed considerably to approximately 800 in 1995. In the next six years, the salaries for football players decreased moderately to around 7000. about 900 lower than those for baseball players and 1.600 lower than those for players of basketball.\nTopic: Some people think international car-free days are an effective way of reducing air pollution, others think there are some other ways. Discuss both views and give your own opinion\nA wide range of feasible measures have been proposed in an attempt to enhance the quality of air across the globe. Although it is universally accepted that global car-free days can bean effective solution. It is my conviction that numerous other policies seem to become more possible.\nOn the one hand, it is undeniable that when almost all citizens on a global scale are willing to resort to other means of transport in order to celebrate a so-called international car-free day, this practice seems to be fruitful. On a day-to-day basis, cars, which are widely regarded as the most prevalent transportation means running on petrol or diesel, discharge a huge quantity of exhaust fumes ranging from carbon dioxides to unburned hydrocarbons. Therefore, there is, in all likelihood, a considerable decline in the amount of pollution-causing gas, meaning that the air quality may become cleaner and healthier. This situation might encourage individuals to reduce car usage in the next days to diminish air contamination.\nHowever. I advocate the viewpoint that several more attainable policies could be introduced with a view to minimizing the number of air quality pollutants. The most immediate solution would be that all factories need to apply cutting-edge pollution-free technologies in production so that exhaust fumes from these factories would become more environmentally friendly. Another remedy may be to construct and put into operation more nuclear power plants as opposed to thermal power stations which release thousands of tons of carbon dioxides into the atmosphere. Other alternative sources of energy namely solar energy and wind power should be exploited. The two latter policies may contribute to fulfilling the increasing requirements for energy for industrial production and daily household consumption without causing serious damage to the air quality.\nTo conclude, despite the productive global car-free day celebration as aforementioned, I uphold the standpoint that various other methods seem to be more achievable.\nCar-free day, essay, Task 1, task 2\nNext articleAcademic IELTS Writing Task 2 Topic: Education & Band 8.0 Sample",

The black-and-white series originally ran from October 15, 1951, to May 6, 1957, on the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS). After the series ended in 1957, however, a modified version continued for three more seasons with 13 one-hour specials, running from 1957 to 1960, known first as The Lucille Ball-Desi Arnaz Show and later in reruns as The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour.\nI Love Lucy was the most watched show in the United States in four of its six seasons, and was the first to end its run at the top of the Nielsen ratings (an accomplishment later matched by The Andy Griffith Show and Seinfeld). I Love Lucy is still syndicated in dozens of languages across the world.\nThe show was the first scripted television program to be shot on 35 mm film in front of a studio audience, and won five Emmy Awards and received numerous nominations. In 2002, it ranked second on TV Guide's list of television's greatest shows, behind Seinfeld and ahead of The Honeymooners.[1] In 2007, it was listed as one of Time magazine's \"100 Best TV Shows of All-TIME.\"[2] I Love Lucy remains popular, with an American audience of 40 million each year.[3]\nOriginally set in an apartment building in New York City, I Love Lucy centers on Lucy Ricardo (Lucille Ball) and her singer/bandleader husband Ricky Ricardo (Desi Arnaz), along with their best friends and landlords Fred Mertz (William Frawley) and Ethel Mertz (Vivian Vance). During the second season, Lucy and Ricky have a son named Ricky Ricardo Jr. (\"Little Ricky\"), whose birth was timed to coincide with Ball's real-life delivery of her son Desi Arnaz Jr.\nLucy is naive and ambitious, with an undeserved zeal for stardom and a knack for getting herself and her husband into trouble whenever Lucy yearns to make it in show business. The Ricardos' best friends, Fred and Ethel, are former vaudevillians and this only strengthens Lucy's resolve to prove herself as a performer. Unfortunately, she has few marketable performance skills. She does not seem to be able to carry a tune or play anything other than off-key renditions of songs such as \"Glow Worm\" or \"Sweet Sue\" on the saxophone, and many of her performances devolve into disaster. However, to say she is completely without talent would be untrue, as on occasion, she is shown to be a good dancer and a competent singer. She is also at least twice offered contracts by television or film companies\u2014first in \"The Audition\" when she replaces an injured clown in Ricky's act, and later in Hollywood when she dances for a studio benefit using a rubber Ricky dummy as her dancing partner.\nThe show provided Ball ample opportunity to display her considerable skill at clowning and physical comedy. Character development was not a major focus of early sitcoms, so little was offered about her life before the show. A few episodes mentioned that she was born in Jamestown, New York (Lucille Ball's real-life home town), later corrected to West Jamestown, that she graduated from Jamestown High School, that her maiden name was \"McGillicuddy\" (indicating a Scottish or Irish ethnicity at least on her father's side, though she once mentioned her grandmother was Swedish; there are sizable Irish and Swedish communities in Jamestown), and that she met Ricky on a blind date. Her family was absent, other than occasional appearances by her bird-brained mother (Kathryn Card), who could never get Ricky's name right. Lucy also exhibited many stereotypical female traits that were standard for comedy at the time, including being secretive about her age and true hair color, and being careless with money. She was also depicted as a devoted housewife and attentive mother. Lucy's husband, Ricky Ricardo, is an up-and-coming Cuban American singer and bandleader with an excitable personality. His patience is frequently tested by his wife's antics. When exasperated, he often reverts to speaking rapidly in Spanish. As with Lucy, not much is revealed about his past or family. Ricky's mother (played by actress Mary Emery) appears in two episodes; in another Lucy mentions that he has five brothers. Ricky also mentions that he had been \"practically raised\" by his uncle Alberto (who was seen during a family visit to Cuba), and that he had attended the University of Havana.\nAn extended flashback segment in the 1957 episode \"Lucy Takes a Cruise to Havana\" of The Lucille Ball\u2013Desi Arnaz Show filled in numerous details of how Lucy and Ricky met and how Ricky came to the United States. The story, at least insofar as related to newspaper columnist Hedda Hopper, is that the couple met in Havana when Lucy and the Mertzes vacationed there in 1940. Despite his being a university graduate and proficient in English, Ricky is portrayed as a driver of a horse-drawn cab who waits for fares at a pier where tourists arrive by ship. Ricky is hired to serve as one of Lucy's tour guides and the two fall in love. Having coincidentally also met popular singer Rudy Vall\u00e9e on the cruise ship, Lucy arranges an audition for Ricky who is hired to be in Vall\u00e9e's orchestra thus allowing him to immigrate to the United States on the very ship on which Lucy and the Mertzes were returning. Lucy later states Ricky played for Vall\u00e9e only one night before being traded to Xavier Cugat's orchestra.\nLucy is usually found with her sidekick and best friend Ethel Mertz. A former model from Albuquerque, New Mexico, Ethel tries to relive her glory days in vaudeville. Ricky is more inclined to include Ethel in performances at his nightclub because, unlike Lucy, she can actually sing and dance.\nEthel's husband Fred served in World War I, and lived through the Great Depression. He is very stingy with money and an irascible no-nonsense type. However, he also shows that he can be a soft touch, especially when it comes to Little Ricky. Fred can also sing and dance and often performs duets with Ethel.\nThe Manhattan building they all lived in before their move to Westport, Connecticut, was addressed at a fictional 623 East 68th Street, on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. The addresses only go up to the 500s before the street terminates at the East River.\nPrimetime Emmy Awards and Nominations Edit\nNominated - Best Comedy Show\nWinner - Best Situation Comedy\nWinner - Best Comedienne: Lucille Ball\nNominated - Best Female Star of a Regular Series: Lucille Ball\nNominated - Best Series Supporting Actor: William Frawley\nWinner - Best Series Supporting Actress: Vivian Vance\nNominated - Best Actress Starring in a Regular Series: Lucille Ball\nNominated - Best Situation Comedy Series\nNominated - Best Supporting Actor in a Regular Series: William Frawley\nNominated - Best Supporting Actress in a Regular Series: Vivian Vance\nNominated - Best Written Comedy Material: Jess Oppenheimer, Bob Carroll, Jr. and Madelyn Davis\nNominated - Best Actor in a Supporting Role: William Frawley\nWinner - Best Actress, Continuing Performance: Lucille Ball\nNominated - Best Comedy Writing: Jess Oppenheimer, Madelyn Davis, Bob Carroll, Jr., Bob Schiller and Bob Weiskopf for \"L.A. at Last\"\nNominated - Best Continuing Performance by a Comedienne in a Series: Lucille Ball\nNominated - Best Supporting Performance by an Actor: William Frawley\nNominated - Best Supporting Performance by an Actress: Vivian Vance\nNominated - Best Continuing Performance (Female) in a Series by a Comedienne, Singer, Hostess, Dancer, M.C., Announcer, Narrator, Panelist, or any Person who Essentially Plays Herself: Lucille Ball\nNominated - Best Continuing Supporting Performance by an Actor in a Dramatic or Comedy Series: William Frawley\nNominated - Best Continuing Supporting Performance by an Actress in a Dramatic or Comedy Series: Vivian Vance\nNielsen ratings Edit\nI Love Lucy ranked highly in the Nielsen ratings throughout its entire run.\nNOTE: The highest average rating for the series is in bold text.\n1) 1951\u20131952 3 50.9\n3) 1953\u20131954 58.8\nThe episode \"Lucy Goes to the Hospital\" first aired on Monday, January 19, 1953.

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb Addiction \u00bb Recovery Month Awareness for the Families of Loved Ones Affected by Substance Use By Jackie Stein, BALM\u00ae Family Recovery Life Coach\nMany of you know that I have spent the last couple of years studying to be both an addiction counselor and also a BALM\u00ae Family Recovery Life Coach. Counseling gives me the opportunity to work with others who are struggling to maintain recovery as well as learning to live life on life\u2019s terms in early recovery.\nBe A Loving Mirror (BALM\u00ae) is a program that teaches families how to be their loved one\u2019s best chance at recovery and how to avoid being their loved one\u2019s best chance at relapse. I would like to tell you a bit more about BALM\u00ae, how I came to be a family member and how that has brought me full circle to studying to be a certified Family Recovery Life Coach.\nI first came to the BALM\u00ae program as the partner of a loved one struggling to get and maintain recovery. I was beside myself. I could not get and stay calm. When I wasn\u2019t with my loved one, my every thought was on what he was doing and where he was\u2026. Was he sober? Was he safe? Where was he? Was he alive? If I spoke to him and he was sober, I was calm \u2026. for a few minutes. Then I would start to panic all over again. If I spoke to him and he was not sober, I would try to rationalize with him (I am sure you have tried to have a rational discussion with someone under the influence and you know how well that goes.) I would plead with him to stop and get help. I would beg. I would yell and threaten. Not only did this fix nothing, but it left me in a useless puddle of emotion.\nI spent so much time trying to protect him from himself and control his actions that I completely stopped taking care of myself. I ate garbage or didn\u2019t eat at all. I forgot to shower or didn\u2019t want to be away from my phone for that long in case he called. stopped making doctor and dentist appointments. I stopped going anywhere with family and friends. drove around neighborhoods looking for him. I poured out bottles of booze and threw away bottles of pills. I took his picture to the liquor store and pleaded with them to not serve him. I found him in hotel rooms and sent police to make welfare calls to be certain he was still alive. All the while, I was working long hours in a significant job, traveling across the country and internationally, constantly interrupting my work to check on him. Does any of this sound familiar?\nWhen I was first introduced to the BALM\u00ae, I thought that this was some kind of Al-Anon program\u2026.and in some instances it is. But it is much more. I jokingly refer to it as Al-Anon on steroids but it is different from that as well. The BALM\u00ae program doesn\u2019t just follow the Al-Anon 4 C\u2019s saying I didn\u2019t cause this\u2026I can\u2019t control it\u2026.I can\u2019t cure it and I can\u2019t contribute to it. It goes much farther than that. BALM\u00ae doesn\u2019t tell its practitioners to simply detach with love. Rather, it tells us that there are MORE C\u2019s\u2026. It tells us that we can contribute to their recovery\u2026we are connected to our Loved ones at a level that transcends the addiction, and we can learn to communicate with them effectively. Finally, the BALM\u00ae program reminds us that we always have choice.\nThis is a very basic introduction to the BALM\u00ae, but what does it tell us? First, it tells us that we are not limited to either enabling our loved ones or turning our backs. We learn to advocate for them and help them to navigate early recovery. We also learn tools to keep the lines of communication open and how to communicate in a calm and loving way. And last but not least, we learn the importance of taking care of ourselves\u2026physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Because if we cannot be the peace we want to see in the world, how can we bring that peace to our relationship with our loved ones?\nThere are many ways to connect with the BALM\u00ae program. Many people do begin this journey as a member of the BALM\u00ae \u2014 listening to and participating in lessons, interviews with experts and those living in recovery as well as family members who have been living as BALMers for a period of time. After listening to live sessions as well as accessing hundreds of recorded sessions, many start to participate in transformational sessions where they learn to implement the tools they are learning. Working with a buddy to practice these skills is the best way to become proficient and becoming proficient is the way to get a level of calm in your life.\nBeyond the process of learning to be our own loved one\u2019s best chance at recovery, many of us have found in this process a calling where we want to help other families find this peaceful and calming method of communicating with their loved ones. The BALM\u00ae Institute For BALM\u00ae Family Recovery Life Coach Training prepares coaches for certification as Life Coaches, Recovery Life Coaches and BALM\u00ae Family Recovery Life Coaches. This program does require commitment as the training program is intense over a relatively short period of time. But those of us who have learned the tools to be effective coaches are able to see the transformation in our clients\u2019 relationships with their loved ones.\nSeptember is Recovery Month for all of us.

As a culture, we seem to underplay the pervasiveness of people who suffer or die from alcohol related accidents every single year. The uncanny part of this equation, is that social drinking is looked upon as the ultimate way to enjoy yourself, kick back relax, and have some fun! Summer time can be notorious for the culture of drinking and general overindulgence. Everywhere we turn, it seems to be there. A simple lunch on the patio, barbeque get togethers, weekend getaways and not to mention vacations, are all within a backdrop of a drinking culture, as the ultimate way to treat yourself.

I went to rehab not knowing anything about A.A or that it would even be a part of my treatment. I still remember my first meeting and the relief I felt at not being alone in my problem. That feeling lasted for a little while. The truth was though, that I wasn\u2019t ready yet for a different life. That fact became apparent after over a year \u201cdry\u201d and in a bad relapse. I believed that by reaching out and asking for help I would be somehow bothering people. Being in a year-long abusive relationship added to my feelings of unworthiness \u2013 an all too familiar reality inside the walls of domestic chaos.

May 14, 2017 May 14, 2017 Alcohol, Recovery\nIn 1971, two events occurred that changed my life forever: I got married and I became a typesetter. There was also a third event simmering away under the radar that hadn\u2019t quiet manifested, but was waiting to explode. It will become evident what that event was later in the story. In those days, typesetting was done with metal slugs. Men sat at huge machines and typed words to be set on a large sheet of metal and then run through the printing press. When I started typesetting there was a burgeoning industry of cold type (computer) beginning to appear. Most type was done with metal, but eventually the printing industry, including the major newspapers, went to cold type. My first computer was just a keyboard, with a small machine off to the side which punched holes in paper tape.

I was miserable, broken, and lonely. I was pretty much friendless and hopeless. I felt like I was dropped onto this planet from another universe and didn\u2019t belong there or here. I was smoking a lot of pot, sniffing speed, and drinking until I passed out every night. I never fell asleep, back in the day, I just passed out. In the mornings I came to; never woke up. I had no idea it was the drugs and the booze that was causing me to disconnect from my family, friends and society. And of course, all the drugs I was consuming had nothing to do with why my life was so wretched.

An Aspergers diagnosis must have been hard..and glad to hear it ended up being off-base...I'm not \"glad\" you can understand the fear first-hand..but I'm sure your professsion plus life-experience can help us all...like each and every one of us has experience in different ways.\nOne other thing is coming to mind. Ironically, just like me, one of my mom's closest friends, had a son (in 1974) who was autistic.Now we, 3 decades later share about that....My mom & her friend were in their late 20s when they had us...we were vaccinated fully (total sidenote). But Ron was always..different..he never looked at us..spun objects or himself alot...\nI didn't know or understand then....My point to get there in 10 words or less is that I was unaware that the regression aspect I described above was normal to an autism diagnosis......Now, yes, then, no...Ron was born that way.. he never regressed..he never recognized us or at least communicated that he did.. That I believe is a truer example of \"organic\" autism. The arugument I've heard, read of, is that this \"regressive autism\"...(this is not an official term) can possibly be attributed to cumulative mercury exposure + genetics+ other factors .So this is a little more of my story. \"Matt\" the boy I worked with was different.....Knew us...but lost us.\nIt's so easy for me to talk about kids, autism and the last several years.\nI am gonna go out on an unscientific limb and say that the rates of Autism, ADD,ADHD,PDD..will decrease now that vaccines can be made without thimerosal.\nWe in this board area aren't looking to blame...we are only just beginning to vaccinate, or wait...thimerosal can hopefully be put aside for the moment..so we can zero in on other issues concerning the current vaccination schedule.",

        "raw_content": "\u2190 Voluntary Standards in Civic Media?\nWill the door finally open for grassroots media? \u2192\nIt\u2019s not supposed to be a deep philosophical question, but it does demand a bit of deeper thinking.\nThe trouble I\u2019ve always had with mainstream media is that it\u2019s been a very top-own approach to information dissemination. On the one hand I understand this: we have people (journalists) whose job it is to ensure the information we do consume in MSM is correct. They also report it in a skilled manner that makes it digestible for the reader. Yet on the other, often the \u201cnews\u201d comes from everyday people. So what happens if the people do the reporting instead?\nWell, the argument by many in MSM is that this raw, basic information isn\u2019t actually news until the professional, established news organisations say it is.\nCivic media, bloggers and those within the emerging news model are \u2013 in the eyes of less progressive MSM outlets \u2013 somewhat second class citizens. And herein lies the hypocrisy: you cannot on the one hand say \u201cyou are not relevant\u201d but on the other actively request the general public to get in touch with stories/be a source.\nThen within this argument, we have the issue of what is and isn\u2019t news \u2013 or rather what is or isn\u2019t relevant. What might be of significance to you may not be to me, but it doesn\u2019t mean you shouldn\u2019t be able to share or report on that issue just because I don\u2019t find it relevant. Others might. It could also help broaden my views. Yet for years this is exactly what MSM has been feeding us: We know what is newsworthy \u2013 you don\u2019t.\nFrom educators and community group leaders, to volunteers in charities and the regular \u2018Jo/e\u2019: Why shouldn\u2019t they have the space to report what\u2019s happening in their world?\nIs it because they might be biased? Again, the argument flung back by some in MSM is that only professional journalists and editors can safeguard against any bias. Really? Take a look at a range of newspapers and you\u2019ll see bias very clearly. It\u2019s what we\u2019ve all pretty much been brought up on. We know the Daily Mail has a very different news agenda to The Guardian. They have a different world view and their pages (both in print and online) reflect this unapologetically.\nWe have editors setting the agenda (or in some cases the newspaper owners), we have papers in the pockets of political leaders and councils. Lift the lid on MSM and it\u2019s not all worthy hacks tirelessly crafting copy exposing bungs in the local football league or questioning the actions of local councils. Yes, it does happen, but lets take off the rose tinted glasses and get a bit of perspective.\nWe need to create opportunities for transparency and debate from ALL perspectives \u2013 crucial in a democracy. We need to reinvigorate how MSM can and must engage with CM; help them understand that it can be a positive force for not only them, but also the community they serve.\nPerhaps the days where news is created by the few, and consumed by the masses are coming to an end. How we manage this potential free-for-all is a different matter\u2026 but we\u2019re working on it.",

And there are many things about which Donald Trump is wrong.\"",

        "raw_content": "A choice between two nightmares\nIn Heart of Darkness, the narrator Marlow is presented with a choice between two \u2018nightmares\u2019, that is between the nightmare of the Belgian company he is employed by and the nightmare of Kurtz. He \u2018chooses\u2019 Kurtz, or rather he chooses the nightmare of Kurtz as it appears on the terrain of the nightmare of the company. He does not identify any positive features in the nightmare of Kurtz but sides with it because it is not the company's nightmare. Similarly, I have written on the ideology of primitivism as it appears within libertarian communist critique and have sided with primitivism because it is not libertarian communism. Or rather, I have not sided with primitivism but reintroduced a content that is lost from libertarian communism as it goes to war against a rival ideology at the moment where it is also transformed into ideology (because it has gone to war). The piece is an exercise, a game perhaps, in not choosing sides, in refusing polarisation, and in not going to war on one side or another.",

        "raw_content": "This article is about Hossein Nasr. For other uses of Nasr, see Nasr (disambiguation).\nHossein Nasr at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on October 1, 2007\n(1933-04-07) 7 April 1933\nMIT, Harvard\nIslamic philosophy [1]\nSeyyed Hossein Nasr (Persian: \u0633\u06cc\u062f \u062d\u0633\u06cc\u0646 \u0646\u0635\u0631\u200e\u200e, born April 7, 1933) is an Iranian University Professor of Islamic studies at George Washington University,[2] and an Islamic philosopher. He is the author of scholarly books and articles.[1][3]\nNasr speaks and writes based on subjects such as philosophy, religion, spirituality, music, art, architecture, science, literature, civilizational dialogues, and the natural environment. He also wrote two books of poetry (namely Poems of the Way and The Pilgrimage of Life and the Wisdom of Rumi), and has been described as a 'polymath'.[4][5]\nNasr speaks Persian, English, French, Spanish and Arabic fluently.[6]\nNasr was born in 1933 in south-central Tehran to Seyyed Valiallah, who was a physician to the Persian royal family, and one of the founders of modern education in Iran. His parents were originally from Kashan. He is a descendant of Sheikh Fazlollah Nouri from his mother's side, and is the cousin of Iranian philosopher Ramin Jahanbegloo, and the father of American academic Vali Nasr.\nNasr went to Firuz Bahram High School in Tehran[7] before being sent to the United States for education at thirteen. In the US, Nasr first attended Peddie School in Hightstown, New Jersey, graduating in 1950 as the valedictorian of his class and also winner of the Wyclifte Award.[8]\nA scholarship offered by MIT in physics made him the first Iranian undergraduate to attend that university.[6] There, he also began studying under Giorgio de Santillana and others in various other branches such as metaphysics and philosophy. During his studies there he became acquainted with the works of the Traditionalist authority Frithjof Schuon. This school of thought has shaped Nasr's life and thinking ever since. Nasr had been a disciple of Frithjof Schuon for over fifty years and his works are based on the doctrine and the viewpoints of the perennial philosophy.\nAt the age of twenty-five, Nasr graduated with his Ph.D. from Harvard and completed his first book, Science and Civilization in Islam. His doctoral dissertation entitled \"Conceptions of Nature in Islamic Thought\" was published in 1964 by Harvard University Press as An Introduction to Islamic Cosmological Doctrines.\nNasr began his teaching career in 1955 when he was still a young doctoral student at Harvard University. He became a full professor by the age of 30.\nNasr also learned Islamic philosophy from the philosophers Allameh Tabatabaei, Sayyid Abul-Hasan Qazwini and Sayyid Muhammad Kazim Assar during that period leading up to the revolution.\nNasr was appointed personal secretary to Farah Pahlavi Empress of Iran as Head of the Empress's Private Bureau.[9] In 1974 she commissioned him to establish and lead the Imperial Iranian Academy of Philosophy,[9] the first academic institution to be conducted in accordance with the intellectual principles of the Traditionalist School. During that time, Nasr, Tabatabaei, William Chittick, Kenneth Morgan, Sachiko Murata, Toshihiko Izutsu, and Henry Corbin held various philosophical discourses. The book Shi'a Islam was one product of this period.\nNasr in 2002\nHe was an advisor for the award-winning, PBS-broadcast documentary Muhammad: Legacy of a Prophet (2002), produced by Unity Productions Foundation.[10]\nIn year 2000, a volume was devoted to him in the Library of Living Philosophers.[11]\nTempleton Religion and Science Award (1999)[12]\nFirst Muslim and first non-Western scholar to deliver the prestigious Gifford Lectures.[13]\nHonorary Doctor from the Faculty of Theology of Uppsala University, Sweden (1977)[14]\nNasr is the author of over fifty books[15] and five hundred articles (a number of which can be found in the journal, Studies in Comparative Religion) on topics such as Traditionalist metaphysics, Islamic science, religion and the environment, Sufism, and Islamic philosophy.[1] Listed below are most of Nasr's works in English (in no particular order), including translations, edited volumes, and Festschriften in his honor:\nAs Author [1]\nAn Introduction to Islamic Cosmological Doctrines: Conceptions of Nature and Methods Used for Its Study by the Ikhwan al-Safa, al-Biruni, and Ibn Sina (1964)\nThree Muslim Sages: Avicenna\u2014Suhrawardi\u2014Ibn Arabi (1964)\nIdeals and Realities of Islam (1966)[16]\nScience and Civilization in Islam, with a preface by Giorgio de Santillana (1968)\nIslamic Studies: Essays on Law and Society, the Sciences, and Philosophy and Sufism (1967)\nThe Encounter of Man and Nature: The Spiritual Crisis of Modern Man (1968)\nSufi Essays (1972)\nIslam and the Plight of Modern Man (1975)\nIslamic Science: An Illustrated Study, with photographs by Roland Michaud (1976)\nSadr al-Din Shirazi and His Transcendent Theosophy: Background, Life and Works, 2nd edition (1977)\nKnowledge and the Sacred: The Gifford Lectures,Free Download In Several Formats [17] (1981)\nIslamic Life and Thought (1981)\nIslamic Art and Spirituality (1986)[15]\nTraditional Islam in the Modern World (1987)\nA Young Muslim's Guide to the Modern World (1993)\nThe Need for a Sacred Science (1993)\nThe Islamic Intellectual Tradition in Persia, edited by Mehdi Aminrazavi (1994)\nMuhammad: Man of God (1995)\nReligion and the Order of Nature: The 1994 Cadbury Lectures at the University of Birmingham (1996)\nPoems of the Way; put to music by Sami Yusuf in Songs of the Way (vol. 1) (1999)\nIslam: Religion, History, and Civilization (2001)\nThe Heart of Islam: Enduring Values for Humanity (2002)Free Download\nIslamic Philosophy from its Origin to the Present: Philosophy in the Land of Prophecy (2006)\nThe Pilgrimage of Life and the Wisdom of Rumi: Poems and Translations (2007)\nThe Garden of Truth: The Vision and Promise of Sufism, Islam's Mystical Tradition (2007)\nIslam, Science, Muslims, and Technology: Seyyed Hossein Nasr in Conversation with Muzaffar Iqbal (2007)\nThe Essential Seyyed Hossein Nasr, edited by William Chittick (2007)\nIslam in the Modern World (2012)\nAn Annotated Bibliography of Islamic Science, edited with William Chittick and Peter Zirnis (3 vols., 1975)\nIsma'ili Contributions to Islamic Culture (1977)\nThe Essential Frithjof Schuon (1986)\nShi'ism: Doctrines, Thought, and Spirituality, edited with Seyyed Vali Reza Nasr and Hamid Dabashi (1988)\nExpectation of the Millennium: Shi'ism in History, edited with Seyyed Vali Reza Nasr and Hamid Dabashi (1989)\nIslamic Spirituality (Vol. 1: Foundations, 1987; Vol. 2: Manifestations, 1990)\nReligion of the Heart: Essays Presented to Frithjof Schuon on his Eightieth Birthday, edited with William Stoddart (1991)\nIn Quest of the Sacred: The Modern World in the Light of Tradition, edited with Katherine O'Brien (1994)\nHistory of Islamic Philosophy, edited with Oliver Leaman (1995)\nMecca the Blessed, Medina the Radiant: The Holiest Cities of Islam, photographs by Kazuyoshi Nomachi; essay by Seyyed Hossein Nasr (1997)\nAn Anthology of Philosophy in Persia, edited with Mehdi Aminrazavi (5 vols., 1st in 1999)\nThe Essential Sophia, edited with Katherine O'Brien (2006)\nThe Study Quran (Editor-in-Chief; Caner Dagli, Maria Dakake, and Joseph Lumbard (General editors); Mohammed Rustom (Assistant editor; 2015)\nShi'ite Islam by Sayyid Muhammad Husayn Tabataba'i\nThe Book of Metaphysical Penetrations by Mulla Sadra (edited, introduced, and annotated by Ibrahim Kalin)\nIslam, Modernity, and the Human Sciences (second part of the book), by Ali Zaidi\nReligious Pluralism in Christian and Islamic Philosophy: The Thought of John Hick and Seyyed Hossein Nasr, by Adnan Aslan\nIn Search of the Sacred with Ramin Jahanbegloo\nFrom the Pen of Seyyed Hossein Nasr: A Bibliography of His Works Through His Eightieth Year, edited by Nicholas Boylston, Oludamini Ogunnaike, and Syed A.H.

Albert (Jacques)\nField-assisted patterned dissolution of silver nanoparticles in phosphate glass\nJournal of Applied Physics , Volume 116 - Issue 11\nPhosphate glass samples doped with silver ions through a Na+-Ag+ ion-exchange process were treated in a hydrogen atmosphere at temperatures near 430 \u00b0C for durations ranging from 4 to 5 h. Such treatment causes metallic silver precipitation at the surface as well as nanoclustering of silver atoms under the surface under conditions very similar to those used for silicate glasses. The presence of silver clusters resulted in a characteristic coloring of the glass and was verified by the observation of a plasmon resonance peak near 410-420 nm in the absorption spectra. Applying a DC voltage between 1.4 and 2 kV at temperatures between 120 and 130 \u00b0C led to dissolution of the clusters in the area under the positive electrode, thereby bleaching the glass color. The use of a patterned doped-silicon electrode further led to the formation of a 300 nm thick surface relief on the glass surface and of a volume complex permittivity grating extending at least 4 \u03bcm under the surface.

        "raw_content": "In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ASU 2014-09, which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). Early adoption is not permitted. In August, 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-04, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date. The amendment in this ASU defers the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 for all entities for one year. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans should apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements and has not yet determined the method by which it will adopt the standard.\nKingston acknowledges that from the effective date through and including December 31, 2021, it shall not sell, transfer, assign, hypothecate, pledge, margin, hedge, trade, or otherwise obtain or attempt to obtain any economic value from any of the shares or any shares into which they may be converted or from which they may be exchanged. As a result of this agreement, the Company recorded $2,800,000 as an outstanding accrued liability as of September 30, 2016. As of December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016, the Company had no borrowings on the Kingston line of credit. On December 29, 2016 the Company issued 55,888 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred shares in settlement of the outstanding accrued liability due Kingston of $2,800,000.\nNotes Payable as of December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016 consisted of the following:\nBank of America Revolver Loan - variable interest rate based upon a base rate plus a margin,interest payable monthly, maturity date July 2020, secured by substantially all Marquis assets $ 2,791,005 $ 222,590\nFuture maturities of debt at December 31, 2016 are as follows which includes related party debt separately stated:\nDuring the three months ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company accrued dividends of $479 and $479, respectively, payable to holders of Series E preferred stock.

The effective income tax rate differs than the U.S. federal statuary rate primarily due to state taxes, goodwill impairment, and certain non-deductible expenses. As of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 the Company had no uncertain tax positions. The Company is subject to taxation and files income tax returns in the U.S., and various state jurisdictions. The Company is subject to audit for U.S. purposes for the current and prior three years, and for state purposes the current and prior four years. The Company has net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $26.7M for U.S. income tax purposes, these net operating loss carryforwards are subject to IRC Section 382 limitations and begin to expire in 2027.\nDuring the three months ended December 31, 2016, cash provided by operations was $4,994,685, compared to $2,734,688 during the three months ended December 31, 2015. The increase in cash provided by operations of $2,259,997 as compared to the prior period; was primarily due to an increase in net income of $1,128,231, an increase in non-cash expenses of $375,342, an increase in the change to deferred income taxes of $768,135 and a decrease in cash provided by operations for working capital purposes of $11,711. The increase in net income was primarily attributable to our Vintage Stock acquisition effective November 3, 2016. The increase in non-cash expenses was primarily due to an increase in depreciation expense of $389,215 from new equipment put into service at Marquis and new depreciation as a result of the Vintage acquisition.\n\u00b7 Cash provided by the decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $1,633,656 was the primarily the result of financing deposits initially placed with equipment manufacturers from Banc of America Leasing & Capital LLC upon receiving and putting into service certain new equipment at Marquis.\nCash used in investing activities was $62,180,053 and $94,439 for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and the three months ended December 31, 2016, respectively. The $62,085,614 increase in cash used in investing activities, as compared to the prior period, is primarily attributable to the acquisition of Vintage Stock for $57,310,900 net of cash acquired and the purchase and placement into service of new equipment of $4,774,714, primarily for Marquis.\nCash provided by financing activities was $58,001,226 and used by financing activities of $2,044,048 for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and the three months ended December 31, 2015, respectively. The $60,045,274 increase in cash provided, as compared to the prior period, was attributable to increased borrowings on our two revolver loans of $13,515,745, $11,492,658 of which was used to help acquire Vintage Stock; proceeds from the Capitala Term Loan of $30,000,000, proceeds from Sellers Subordinated Acquisition Note of $10,000,000, both of which were used to help acquire Vintage Stock; proceeds from Banc of America Leasing & Capital LLC in the amount of $5,889,321 for equipment financing at Marquis; partially offset by an increase in debt issuance costs of $1,155,000, an increase in payments of notes payable of $550,358, reduction in payment of non-controlling interests of $1,500,000 and reduction in payment of related party notes payable of $845,566.\nIn November, 2016, we acquired Vintage Stock, Inc. We are currently in the process of integrating Vintage Stock, Inc. into our assessment of our internal control over financial reporting.

        "title": "\ufeff\ufeff How the Bosnian scientific institutions see Mr. Osmanagic's project - part 2 (and end?) - [Le site d'Irna]",
        "raw_content": "I have described a few days ago in this article some official documents published on geolog-mrak (bs)\u2019s blog. It appears that Mr. Osmanagic\u2019s Foundation has asked from the Ministry of Culture an excavation permit (including for excavations in the protected area on Visocica, see here) as well as some subsidies; and that the Minister, Mr. Gavrilo Grahovac, has, before answering, contacted various Bosnian scientific institutions in order to get their opinion on Mr. Osmanagic\u2019s project. Geolog-mrak had already published part of these opinions (from the geologists of Tuzla University and of the Federal Institute for Geology, and from the scientists of Sarajevo National Museum and of the Academy of Science of Bosnia), each of these opinions being very negative; now he has added a letter (bs) from the Commission to Preserve National Monuments (en),\nCommission pour la protection des monuments nationaux page 1\nCommission to preserve National Monuments\nthat had already given (see here) a negative opinion on the new project of \"preservation of Old Town Visoki\" that Mr. Osmanagic uses as alibi trying to obtain the authorization for digging again on Visocica. This new opinion is about the whole project of the \"Bosnian valley of the pyramids\"; there again, the Commission judges very negatively: \"We consider that this project [...] does not belong to serious archaeological research, but has an exhibitionistic and sensationalistic character\". And they remind the Minister of some evidences: that there is in Bosnia a high number of monuments and sites of national or european importance that could totally disappear because of lack of money for their preservation and restoration (see for instance this file from the Council of Europe (en) about twenty such threatened sites), and that the few financial, scientific and technical means of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina must be devoted first to these sites.\nThen, the last document (bs) published on geolog-mrak\u2019s blog on the 22nd of May is a letter from the Minister Gavrilo Grahovac himself,\nMinist\u00e8re de la Culture page 1\nwho writes to the government of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Minister\u2019s opinion is clear: on the basis of the scientific opinions he received, he concludes, unsurprisingly, that there is a lack of \"basis allowing the government of the Federation to support and financially participate in the archaeological research\" in the \"Bosnian valley of the pyramids\" (and not only in the protected area but outside this protected area as well). The most interesting is the explanation of this opinion, and the reasons he gives for rejecting Mr. Osmanagic\u2019s requests:\nthe project \"does not belong to serious archaeological researches\";\nthere is a serious doubt about the \"credibility\" of most of the people who appear in the list of the Foundation collaborators, and about their scientific qualifications;\na number of the foreign \"researchers\" have no valid working permit on the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina;\nthe Foundation publishes its findings without any control by the institutions, and prevent their scientifical analysis (see here the case of the \"artifacts\" that the Sarajevo Museum team was forbidden to see on Vratnica);\nthe archaeological field work is made unscientifically and destructively;\nthe geologists have shown that Visocica as well as Pljesevica are the result of natural phenomena, and these geological phenomena are interpreted and presented to the public by the Foundation in an unscientific and erroneous way;\nlast, the Ministry seems to deny the Foundation the right, claimed in its statutes (bs), to organize archaeological excavations, and recommands that an official enquiry questions the legality of these statutes and of the Foundation registration, particularly the existence of a real scientific staff...\nAs Stultitia immediately noticed (bs), this last recommandation from the Ministry probably explains why, just a week after receiving this letter, the Foundation published on its web site a series of employment offers (bs), where it can be seen that they look for various scientists, particularly an \"archaeologist in charge for the research project\"; and why they generously offer various financial grants to graduate students (bs) and students preparing PhD (bs) who would accept to come in Visoko in order to give a \"veneer of science\" [1] to the whole project...\n[1] However, the pseudo-science is never very far: they could not help, among the serious fields of science for which they look for candidates, to put \"biogeometry (en)\", the \"science\" which studies the \"negative green vibrations\", good for spiritual life, producted by pyramids and spheres... see also chapter 3 in Mr. Osmanagic\u2019s book.",

Since January 2017, it has been rendering its services as BlueOrange, while the name Baltikums Bank AS was saved as a legal name.\nThe new financial institution has moved to a new brand to strengthen its position in the Latvian market and offer its clients a new range of services based on the introduction of modern technologies. For example, there are more interesting proposals in the field of mortgages, possibility of using financial services anywhere in the world, etc. Changeover did not create any difficulties for the clients of the financial institution, since neither the requisites nor the management have changed. The previous directions of the bank's activity have also been saved.\nBaltikums Bank operates in different directions, providing the following types of services to clients:\n\u2022 Depodits.\n\u2022 Payment cards from MasterCard, Visa, Maestro.\n\u2022 Lending.\n\u2022 Currency operations.\n\u2022 Secure transactions in the Internet.\n\u2022 Banking services for business, incl. loans.\n\u2022 Electronic trading platforms.\n\u2022 Factoring.\nThe Bank is involved in charity, supporting the least protected groups and children with special needs. Among the projects - arranging children's hospitals, supporting children's sports, helping visually impaired blind children, and also those who can not walk, need special nutrition.\nAdvantages of cardholders\nA bank account in BlueOrange Bank Baltikums can be opened by both residents and non-residents of the country, including offshore companies. The plus is that the bank's branches are present in many countries of the world, including Bank Baltikums AS in Moscow. Clients of the institution get the opportunity:\n\u2022 store money in euros and other types of foreign currency;\n\u2022 make money transfers within the bank, Latvia, make international payments;\n\u2022 put and withdraw cash on the account (depending on the terms of the contract);\n\u2022 make payment through SWIFT, SEPA, Target;\n\u2022 transfer money into the desired currency;\n\u2022 access to Internet banking;\n\u2022 5% refund of the amount of purchases at gas stations;\n\u2022 bonuses in the form of 5% on the balance of the bank account.\nFor the owners of payment cards, the bank provides various promotions, discounts, bonuses. The closer the cooperation with the institution, the more benefits has the holder of such card. A bank customer can not be afraid for their savings: the Deposit Guarantee Law protects the invested money and the amount up to 100 thousand euro will be returned to the depositor in the case of bankruptcy.",

        "title": "Top 10 TV Shows of 2015 \u2013 Jacob Wilson",
        "raw_content": "My favorite television shows of this year, of which I watched more than any other year. Shout outs to The Genius (a Korean reality show that is brilliant, but I didn\u2019t have time to catch up with completely) and to Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (a musical comedy that showed half of its first season in 2015, but will continue into 2016, thus disqualifying it.)\n10. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (Season 1)\nI have many well documented opinions about this show, which I found fairly uneven, but also so enjoyable. I can\u2019t help but think the show will only grow, making use of its Netflix freedom and the wonderful cast of characters it\u2019s created. Titus\u2019 \u201cPinot Noir\u201d and rendition of \u201cI\u2019ll Make Love to You\u201d at a funeral might be the two funniest moments of television all year.\n9. Fresh off the Boat (Season 1)\nAnother show that is fairly uneven, but is elevated by how likable every character is, plus Constance Wu\u2019s Jessica Huang is probably the best new character on television. It\u2019s a show with a unique perspective (literally only the second show to star an Asian-American as a lead ever) and it\u2019s definitely worth the watch.\n8. Nathan for You (Season 3)\nI\u2019ve went through all three seasons of Nathan for You in the last month, so forgive me if I\u2019m incapable of differentiating the three, but Nathan Fielder\u2019s comedy spoof on business reality shows is both a brilliant sort of cringe comedy and a commentary on capitalism. Season 3 showed Nathan continuing brilliant ideas (Best Buy return policy, being a hero, weight loss through a moving company) and continued to mock viral media.\n7. Master of None (Season 1)\nAziz Ansari turned into an auteur this year with a show about all of the ideas that interest him. It\u2019s definitely a product of the 21st century and could almost be given as a primer to adults who don\u2019t understand those in their 20s. Ultimately though, Master of None, succeeds because of Ansari\u2019s charm and the amount of heart he puts into each character\u2019s story arc.\n6. Review (Season 2)\nReview is premised off of a man reviewing everyday life via audience suggestions for a tv show. In actuality it\u2019s an absolute farce, with Forrest MacNeil ruining his life episode by episode because of his commitment to following through with each review (the episode where he reviews giving something 6 stars is particularly hilarious). For being such a ridiculous show it actually is quite dark, like watching Job inflict himself with the punishments of God.\n5. Survivor: Cambodia \u2013 Second Chances\nThe season was really great, my favorite all-stars season ever (I\u2019m also not the hugest Heroes vs. Villains fan), but what really made it was all the hype leading into it. For the first time ever Survivor allowed fans to vote in returning players\u2013this lead to a barrage of campaigning and pre-gaming like has never taken place before. When the cast was announced at the Worlds Apart finale, it was torture knowing that each and every day the players you voted for were out playing Survivor. When we finally saw the product it was worth it, with some of the most fluid and impassioned gameplay in the show\u2019s 31 seasons.\nOne of these days The Americans will be my number one show (it\u2019s finished 2nd twice and now 4th), but it\u2019s a consistent show for its intense spy games and the layers of relationships it creates whether they be familial, friend, or work. This season saw Clark and Martha more strained than ever, Paige going to a whole new character level, and all sorts of new vulnerability across all the leads.\n3. Fargo (Season 2)\nSome people have hailed this as better than season 1, I\u2019m not sure I agree (it was my favorite last year), but boy is this the most inventive show out there. It\u2019s an anthology series so there were little ties to the first season (the connections that were there, played out brilliantly), but thematically all of the same ties are there\u2013the fight for good in an evil world and the corruptibility of humanity when given the chance.\n2. Show Me a Hero\nDavid Simon (creator of The Wire) brought a new mini-series to HBO about low-income houses getting brought into the suburbs of New York and the resulting political ramifications. Like Simon\u2019s past work the show is complex, following a multitude of characters and how the placement of low-income housing affects each of their lives. If you know The Wire, you\u2019ll know exactly how this turns out and Simon is a master of creating stories out of deep political and socioeconomic divides.\n1. Parks and Recreation (Season 7)\nI mentioned that this was my favorite tv show of all time on the best episodes list and this year they put out one of their best seasons. It\u2019s an encore that highlights each of its characters best qualities, making every episode feel like an event. It\u2019s an emotional roller coaster that ends a great series just about better than any other show.\nHonorable Mentions: Veep (Season 4), Community (Season 6), Bloodline\nBest of 2015, Top Ten List\tbest tv of 2015, crazy ex girlfriend, fargo, fresh off the boat, master of none, nathan for you, parks and rec, review, show me a hero, survivor cambodia, the americans, the genius, unbreakable kimmy schmidt",

        "raw_content": "These Are The Late-Model Cars With The Highest Depreciation\nFiled to: DepreciationFiled to: Depreciation\nCars are typically depreciating assets (unless you\u2019re buying a 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO) but this is actually good news if you\u2019re a used car shopper. Here are the late-model cars with the highest three-year depreciation and the top one is kind of surprising.\nThe site notes that despite the average car depreciating at 35 percent after the first three years of purchase, luxury and imported cars will lose between 46 to 52 percent of their value in the same amount of time. If you\u2019re looking for a bargain, this is where you\u2019d look for a three-year old car.\nIt\u2019s not particularly surprising that, in general, luxury and imported cars make up the majority of this list from iSeeCars. What\u2019s interesting is the number one vehicle.\nScreenshot: iSeeCars\nThe majority of this list comprised of luxury cars because people tend to lease them more often, which means that there are more of them in the market that are coming off lease. iSeeCars notes:\n\u201cLuxury brands are known for depreciating at a higher rate because they are often leased to keep monthly payments down, which lowers the demand for these vehicles in the used car market,\u201d said iSeeCars CEO Phong Ly. \u201cWhile some luxury models tend to quickly lose a lot of their value, they still don\u2019t drop in price enough to attract used car buyers who may be reluctant to pay the premium for high-end trims and technological features.\u201d\nSitting high and pretty at the top of the the list is a BMW 5 Series, but what\u2019s maybe even more unexpected is the Volkswagen Passat, which, as our own car-buying expert Tom McParland pointed out, is a mainstream car being hit by luxury car depreciation.\nSo, I guess if you\u2019re looking for a standard car that\u2019s suddenly pretty affordable and probably still has some warranty left on it, start looking at Passats that are two or three years old.\nSome More Car Buying Tips\nDoes The Dealer Have To Honor The Price On A Car You Ordered?\nHere&apos;s Why CarMax Makes More Money On Used Cars Than Anyone Else\nThese Are The Cars With The Most Recalls And They&apos;re Not What You Think",

        "raw_content": "The scenic Tay River that runs through the centre of Perth. Photo by Liam Barrington-Bush\nVisiting Perth, Ontario, during Canada\u2019s summer months, it is hard not to be impressed by the town\u2019s natural beauty. Tell-tale signs also hint at the ecologically minded movement that exists in this small town of just 6,000 people. Whether strolling past a \u201cforest in the making\u201d, comprising indigenous tree species planted by Eco Perth alongside the picturesque Tay River, or attending the bustling farmers\u2019 market across the waterway, you start to get a sense of the innovative initiatives currently being implemented.\nPerth is located 85 km from Canada\u2019s capital city Ottawa, in the easternmost tip of the province of Ontario. Initially founded as a military settlement, what is striking about this small town is the way residents have come together to share ideas and work towards creating a sustainable future.\n\u2018Our best defence is a strong community\u2019\nThe Transition Town movement, which began in Totnes, England, in 2006, sprang up in response to the twin challenges of peak oil and climate change. Transition initiatives (whether towns, cities or neighbourhoods) foster community-led projects that promote environmental sustainability and economic resilience.\nFour years ago, Perth residents S\u00e9bastien Bacharach, Bonita Ford and Peggy Land founded Transition Perth. It has become a banner under which a range of sustainability projects have come to light, such as a bike repair workshop, a project for harvesting neglected fruit trees and establishing community gardens.\nPerth\u2019s bike repair workshop, where \u2018old clunkers\u2019 are fixed up and made usable again. Photo by Jen Wilton\n\u201cWhat I like about [transition] is that it is solutions-oriented and positive\u201d, Bacharach, a permaculture designer and teacher, explains. Originally from France, he moved to Perth with the desire to bring to life his vision of a better world. He doesn\u2019t think lasting change will come from above or by pushing for a different government. \u201cI believe more in community-based actions and building alternatives for ourselves\u201d, he says.\nTransition Perth co-founder Peggy Land has a long background in activism, having worked on issues like mining and pesticide use. \u201cI am really more concerned about the next generations and my grandchildren\u201d, she says of her motivation to get involved in the Transition movement, \u201cso I\u2019m doing it for them.\u201d\nBacharach says that it has taken a few years to gain momentum and move beyond \u201cthe usual suspects\u201d, but that in September 2013 they organised a brainstorming event that became a turning point for Perth\u2019s fledgling transition movement. The event was attended by more than 100 people, who came up with dozens of new project ideas, some of which are evident in the town today.\n\u201cThere is an aspect of transition that is community-oriented and fun, and I think that\u2019s important for people who are not involved in that kind of stuff\u201d, says Bacharach. He recognises that a lot of people are interested in climate change and sustainability issues, but acknowledges they can seem like daunting problems to tackle. \u201cMy hope is that we can create such a strong [community] network that if the banks or the supermarkets close for a long period of time, we will not be in total disaster.\u201d\n\u201cThe biggest strength of the transition movement is that it\u2019s not political, we\u2019re not waiting for the council to come up with these wonderful ideas\u201d, Land states. \u201cWe\u2019re just forging ahead. We think our best defence is a strong community.\u201d\nPerth Farmers\u2019 Market. Photo by Jen Wilton\nSustainable local agriculture\nThere is a growing movement in Perth to promote locally-grown food. The Perth Farmers\u2019 Market plays a key role, helping to connect the public directly to local growers. The market hosts dozens of vendors who set up early on Saturday mornings, with stalls that sell anything from maple syrup to organic greens and locally-crafted jewellery to handmade soap.\nSarah Mackenzie has been selling produce at the market for a decade. She has also been the market\u2019s president for the last five years. \u201cIf you\u2019re reliant on only buying from large corporations, then you give them all the power. They will do what is best for their bottom line\u201d, Mackenzie says. \u201cBy buying local you are much more likely to be able to maintain innovation, high quality and choice.\u201d\nShe laments the loss of \u201cthe flavour dynamic\u201d as a consequence of long transportation routes. A green bean, for example, that has travelled thousands of kilometres from California to Canada will no longer taste the same when it ends up at the dinner table. \u201cYou will want to cook it, because who would eat that fresh?\u201d asks Mackenzie. She explains that buying locally produced food leads to less waste and a longer shelf life.\nStall at the farmers\u2019 market. Photo by Jen Wilton\nMackenzie has also been involved in efforts to set up a local food hub. \u201cThe idea is that we would be a centre for aggregating, distributing and processing local food\u201d, she explains. \u201cIt will have freezer storage, cold storage, dry storage, commercial kitchens and a vegetable processing line.\u201d\nCheryl Nash, founder of Eco Perth and Lanark Local Flavours, has been instrumental in getting the food hub idea off the ground. Beyond the immediate benefit it will bring to farmers in the region, she sees it as a \u201ccritical element that must be in place to ensure we\u2019ll be able to feed ourselves as the impacts of climate change continue to increase.\u201d\nRecalling the 1970s oil crisis that caused steep rises in the price of fuel in the US and Canada, Mackenzie agrees that being able to buy produce that has only travelled a few kilometres offers greater food security in the long run. \u201cAnything that keeps smaller to medium-sized farmers going in this region is only going to help sustainability\u201d, she adds.\nAnother Perth initiative making a difference to local nutrition is The Table, a community food centre, where people can access food bank services, be dished up healthy meals free of charge and attend a wide range of programmes. \u201cWe are becoming a hub for a range of different services, beyond just providing food\u201d, says vice-chair Murray Long, \u201cincluding community health services and advocacy support. But food and nutrition are always at the heart of things for us.\u201d\nThe Table uses a more holistic model than many traditional food banks and service users can volunteer to work in the kitchen or learn a range of other skills. \u201cIt\u2019s not patronising. We\u2019re involving people in a participatory way\u201d, Long says. \u201cOur goal is to try to strengthen the individual, not just to feed them, so that we build a stronger, more vibrant community as a result.\u201d\nThe Table has its own vegetable patch out back and established a community garden nearby to help meet the growing demand for food. Long says that as more people use their services, funding has become increasingly challenging. However, he maintains the benefits to participants are tangible and extend beyond physical sustenance. \u201cThere are quite a few people who may not have felt much engagement with the community, but now see The Table as a place where they are welcomed, where their services are appreciated, where they are respected\u201d, Long says. \u201cIt\u2019s great.\u201d\n\u201cIt\u2019s been a really inspirational place to be involved with\u201d, Long adds. \u201cWe are creating social change here. So it\u2019s important.\u201d\nThe Table\u2019s community garden. Photo by Jen Wilton\nExperiments in independence\nPerth is also home to a number of people who are looking for more radical solutions to our current ecological woes, including off-grid living and back-to-the-land communities. Rather than waiting for government policy to change or for the rest of society to get on board, some resourceful residents are forging ahead and creating solutions to some of our most daunting problems.\nGrace Main and Doug Barr own 21 acres of land, located a 20-minute drive from the centre of Perth. They are developing the property with the ultimate goal of self-sufficiency and environmental sustainability. They currently live in a simple, single-room, straw-bale structure. This method of construction is considered ecologically friendly as it uses renewable resources that provide good insulation.\nThe site is powered by four small solar panels, while back-up generators are used to help smooth out dips in solar production. The couple have painstakingly researched the best ways to dispose of waste, produce electricity, insulate their home and have drinking water available. They use a water-free, composting toilet and non-pressurised shower. \u201cWe\u2019ve learned a lot, but know nothing\u201d, Main says of their ventures into sustainable, independent living, acknowledging that there is still a steep learning curve ahead of them.\nBarr has been involved in Transition Perth and regularly attends Green Drinks, an organic self-organising network with chapters across the globe, where people get together to discuss ideas for sustainable living. Barr thinks these are good ways to connect with other people and share learning.\nThey are working hard on plans to build a larger house to live in. So far they have three raised garden beds to grow food in, with plans to install a further six so they can ultimately live off what they can grow. According to Main, the aim of the project is to create \u201chappy, healthy living for three generations\u201d.\nCommunity as inspiration\n\u201cI love working with groups of people\u201d, says Transition Perth founder Bacharach. \u201cIt\u2019s been exciting and frustrating at the same time, but there is something magical and really empowering in trying to build community.\u201d He says he feels secure knowing that there are a dozen people within a five-minute walk who are willing to help and that they can tackle large problems together. He concludes: \u201cIt\u2019s a community that feels very tight, where there is a culture of helping each other.\u201d\n\u201cIf you prepare and nothing happens, you\u2019re fine. But if you prepare and the worst happens, you\u2019re safe\u201d, says local farmer Mackenzie. \u201cYou don\u2019t know what the future holds. You don\u2019t know that there won\u2019t be another oil crisis.\u201d\n\u201cIf we\u2019re excited about the bike co-op or the farmer\u2019s market, it brings a whole new energy and a hope for a more cohesive community\u201d, says Land. \u201cWe\u2019re seizing the day and getting on with enjoying living in ways that are truly fulfilling.\u201d\nPrevious PostGuerilla gardening: A horticultural revolutionNext PostThe rise of revolutionary street art in Oaxaca, Mexico",

        "raw_content": "Jewish women\u2019s group on Trump: \u2018We will fight this with everything we have\u2019\nBY Bill Boyarsky | Nov 22, 2016 | Bill Boyarsky\nDonald Trump\u2019s election to the presidency poses special challenges to many members of the Jewish community. How will they react to his proposed immigration raids and medical insurance cuts? What about Trump\u2019s appointing to a top White House post Stephen Bannon, who heads the right-wing website Breitbart News, who has been accused of giving aid and comfort to anti-Semites?\nThose subjects are being intensely discussed in the Jewish media and throughout the community, with many predicting the worst. Others, more optimistic, hope Trump\u2019s campaign was just a stunt, staged to get him elected, and he\u2019ll soon affect the solemn demeanor and sensible Republican politics expected of such a rich man. Jewish Trump supporters cite his relationship with his Jewish son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and his friendship with Likud Party-loving Jews such as Las Vegas mogul Sheldon Adelson.\nAs I looked for Jewish reaction to the Trump victory, I came across a thoughtful, critical commentary posted on the website of the National Council of Jewish Women/Los Angeles by council board president Helen Davidov and executive director Hillary Selvin. The council, with up to 3,000 members in the Los Angeles area, has been on the cutting edge of social change since it began helping Jewish immigrant women in the early 20th century. It rescued Jewish children from Hitler, fought McCarthyism in the 1950s and today is a leading fighter for reproductive rights and for the LGBT community. In the recent election, it was part of the coalition that won voter approval for the Los Angeles bond issue to finance housing for the homeless.\nThe piece by Davidov and Selvin was in line with that tradition.\n\u201cThis election brought up levels of emotions for all Americans that we have not seen in years,\u201d they wrote. \u201cWe must channel these feelings and \u2018rise up\u2019 to continue our fight for the rights guaranteed in our Constitution. The National Council of Jewish Women/Los Angeles is a leader in the fight for women, children and families. \u2026 [We] will continue to advocate the rights of all women to make our own health care decisions, and for access to the health care we need, for the sustainability of our planet, for an end to gun violence, for the protection of our individual rights, for gender and racial equality \u2026 for immigrant rights and for health care for all. We will stand up against gender-related violence and all forms of hate and intolerance. We will stand up for inclusiveness, cooperation and collaboration.\u201d\nOne morning, I drove to the Council of Jewish Women/LA office on North Fairfax Avenue to talk to Selvin. She\u2019s been executive director of the council for 12 years and before that had worked in other Los Angeles Jewish community organizations. Older women and men were arriving for a program. Listening to them talk, I could see the facility filled a valuable place in their lives. Selvin talked to me about harnessing this energy.\n\u201cThere are opportunities before us to create positive things,\u201d she said. \u201cWhen people feel frightened, threatened, they end up coming together to achieve greatness. And I think that\u2019s what\u2019s going to happen in this country. Our communities will get stronger. We don\u2019t have a choice. Whether it is the Jewish community, the interfaith communities, the LGBT community, the divisiveness, the hatred this campaign brought out, we need to stop.\u201d\nI asked her about immigration, a subject with special resonance to Jews, a community of immigrants and those descended from them.\nTrump\u2019s demagogic anti-immigrant rhetoric, directed against Latinos and Muslims, helped get him elected. Now he will have power to unleash immigration officers against those suspected of being here without documentation, invading their workplaces or stopping them on the street. What should Jews do?\n\u201cWe have to protest,\u201d Selvin said. \u201cWe have to be out there vocally. We must have peaceful protests. But we have to protest. We have to say this is not OK. We have to be out there fighting for these rights and if that means we know a raid is going to happen, we put ourselves out in front. \u2026 We have to support the laws of this country but we also have to support the people who give to this country.\u201d\nI asked her about the increasingly controversial Bannon, whose appointment as Trump\u2019s chief White House strategist has split the Jewish community. The Anti-Defamation League called the Breitbart News Network \u201cthe premier website of the \u2018alt-right\u2019 \u2014 a loose-knit group of white nationalists and unabashed anti-Semites and racists.\u201d But the Zionist Organization of America has defended Breitbart as a strongly pro-Israel media outlet.\n\u201cThe National Council of Jewish Women is appalled,\u201d she said. \u201cWe will fight this with everything we have. This country will rise up against people like Bannon.\u201d\nAs we wrapped up the interview, I asked Selvin if this election result presents a different kind of responsibility for the Jewish community.\n\u201cI think it wakes us all up and tells us we can\u2019t be complacent anymore,\u201d Selvin said. \u201cIt wakes us up to the work we need to do to help each other. It\u2019s not just the Jewish community, but the whole community in which we live. If we see something wrong, we must stop it. If we see bigotry, if we see hate, if we see anti-Semitism, we have an obligation to stop it.\u201d\nAs I left, the parking lot was filling up. From these women and men will come the activists in the National Council of Jewish Women/LA, ready for what promises to be a most challenging time.",

        "title": "Analgesic use in Vietnam Veterans\u2019 with Musculoskeletal Pain",
        "raw_content": "Analgesic use in Vietnam Veterans\u2019 with Musculoskeletal Pain\nLisa Kalisch Ellett, Nicole Pratt, Elizabeth Roughead\nBackground: International studies suggest that high-dose opioid use is more common in veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) than those without in the treatment of musculoskeletal pain.\nPurpose: This article aims to examine the use of analgesics by Australian veterans with musculoskeletal pain by conducting a drug utilisation evaluation and to examine use by PTSD status.\nMethods: A cross-sectional study of Vietnam veterans with musculoskeletal pain was conducted using Australian Government Department of Veterans\u2019 Affairs (DVA) data. The study reviewed the proportion of dispensed prescription analgesics between 1 July 2015 and 30 June 2016.The volume of opioids dispensed per veteran was calculated as oral morphine equivalents (OME). Results were stratified by PTSD status.\nResults: 10 318 Vietnam veterans with musculoskeletal pain were included and 59% were dispensed analgesics. The most frequently dispensed analgesics were paracetamol (dispensed to 31% of veterans with PTSD and 28% without PTSD; p<0.01) and paracetamol with 30 mg codeine (19% of veterans with PTSD and 16% without; p<0.0001).Opioid analgesics were more likely to be dispensed to veterans with PTSD than without (35% v 32%, p=0.002); however, there was no significant difference in the volume dispensed (median of 1.2 [interquartile range (IQR) 0.4\u20135.8] OMEs per veteran per day for those with PTSD, compared to median 1.3 OMEs [IQR 0.4\u20136.3] per veteran per day for those without, p=0.3).\nConclusion: Many veterans with service-related musculoskeletal pain did not receive prescription analgesics. Veterans\u2019 with PTSD were more likely to be dispensed analgesics than those without, but PTSD did not appear to influence the volume of opioid dispensed.\nKey words: musculoskeletal pain, Vietnam veteran, opioid, analgesic, post-traumatic stress disorder\nMusculoskeletal pain is common. Systematic reviews of studies published worldwide between 1980 and 2009 for the Global Burden of Disease 2010 study found that the age-standardised point prevalence of lower back pain was 9.4%, neck pain was 4.9%, osteoarthritis was 3.8% and other musculoskeletal disorders was 8.4%.1 Prevalence of lower back pain was highest in men, while all other types of musculoskeletal pain prevalence was highest in women. Prevalence increased with age, although the ages of peak prevalence varied by pain type (e.g.prevalence of neck pain was highest at age 45, while lower back pain prevalence was highest at age 80).1 Within Australia, 22% of men and 27% of Australian women have a musculoskeletal condition, and prevalence increases with age: more than half of men and more than two-thirds of women aged 65 or over report having a musculoskeletal condition.2\nMusculoskeletal pain is also common in veterans. Musculoskeletal problems are the most common comorbidity treated at US veterans\u2019 health administration facilities for veterans who served in Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) or Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF).3 A survey of British veterans who served in the Gulf War (n=2735), Bosnia (n=2393) or who served in the armed forces but were not deployed to either of these conflicts (n=2422), found that the prevalence of back problems was 36%, 24% and 28% in each of these cohorts respectively.4 Musculoskeletal pain is also common in older veterans. A 2006 report from Australia involving veterans who most commonly served in World War II or the Vietnam war, and their spouses, found that 47% reported having back pain and 51% reported having osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis.5\nMusculoskeletal pain can be managed with non-pharmacological strategies; however, in some cases analgesics are required.6 Paracetamol or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are recommended for mild pain and opioid analgesics should be reserved for severe pain.7 Opioid analgesics should only be used short-term for musculoskeletal pain as there is limited evidence to support long-term use.7 In addition, only one-third of patients will benefit from opioid analgesics for musculoskeletal pain and for those who receive a benefit, maximal pain reduction is 50%, while eight in ten will report an adverse event.6\nAlthough several studies have examined the use of opioid analgesics in the general Australian population, none have specifically examined opioid analgesic use among Australian veterans. International studies have shown that use of opioid analgesics for pain management is higher in veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) compared to those without PTSD and that high-risk use is more common in those with PTSD.8 A study involving 141 029 US veterans who served in Afghanistan or Iraq who had non-cancer pain found that 15 676 (11%) were dispensed opioids to manage the pain.8 Compared to veterans without any mental health disorder, those with PTSD were more likely to use opioids at high dose (adjusted relative risk (RR) 1.42, 95% CI 1.31\u20131.54), were more likely to use opioids long-term (RR 1.47, 95% CI 1.42\u20131.53), were more likely to use more than one opioid analgesic at the same time (RR 1.87, 95% CI 1.70\u20132.06), were more likely to use sedative or hypnotic drugs at the same time as the opioid analgesic (RR 5.46, 95% CI 4.91\u20136.07) and were more likely to have their opioid prescription re-dispensed more than one week earlier than the expected end date of their prescription (RR 1.64, 95% CI 1.53\u20131.75).8\nInternational studies show a high prevalence of musculoskeletal pain among veterans with PTSD and that problematic use of opioid analgesics may be more common among veterans with pain and co-morbid PTSD. However, there are no published studies on the use of analgesics for chronic musculoskeletal pain in Australian veterans or the influence of PTSD status on analgesic use. Extrapolation of results from international studies may not be relevant to the Australian veteran population due to differences in age and gender, with the Australian veteran population comprising of more men and older age groups than international veteran cohorts. Additionally, differences in access to medicines and the types of analgesics available between different countries limit the usefulness of extrapolated results from international studies. Therefore, the aim of this study was to conduct a drug utilisation evaluation of analgesics by Australian veterans with musculoskeletal pain and examine use by PTSD status.\nData for this study were sourced from DVA\u2019s administrative claims database. The DVA administrative claims database contains details of all prescription medicines, medical and allied health services, and hospitalisations provided to veterans for which DVA pay a subsidy. The data file contains records for a current treatment population of 200 000 members of the veteran community. DVA maintain a client file, which includes data on gender, date of birth, date of death and family status. Medicines are coded in the dataset according to the World Health Organization (WHO) Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) classification system9 and the Schedule of Pharmaceutical Benefits item codes.10 Hospitalisations are coded according to the WHO International Classification of Diseases (10th Edition), Australian Modification.11\nVietnam veterans were included in the study if they were alive on 30 June 2016 and had an accepted service-related disability for chronic musculoskeletal back or knee pain, effective before 1 July 2015.For these veterans we identified analgesic use between 1 July 2015 and 30 June 2016.Analgesics were defined as paracetamol (ATC code N02BE01), paracetamol in combination with codeine (ATC code N02BE51), opioid analgesics (ATC code N02A) and NSAIDs (ATC code M01A).PTSD was identified if a Vietnam veteran had a record in the disability file for service-related PTSD and where the disability was accepted as service related before 1 July 2015.\nWe identified the number of Vietnam veterans with a service-related musculoskeletal pain disability who were dispensed each type of analgesic. Demographics of study participants were identified, including age at 1 July 2015, gender, type of residence at 1 July 2015 (community or residential aged care), remoteness of residence at 1 July 2015 (major city, inner regional area, outer regional area, remote area or very remote area based on the Australian Standard Geographic Classification) and socioeconomic status based on postcode of residence at 1 July 2015 (using socioeconomic indexes for areas [SEIFA]).Results were stratified by PTSD status. Chi-squared tests were conducted to determine differences in the percentage of Vietnam veterans with and without PTSD dispensed each type of analgesic.\nTo provide an estimate of the volume of opioid analgesic use over the 1 year study period, the volume of opioids dispensed to study participants was calculated as \u2018oral morphine equivalents\u2019 per veteran per day, using the conversion table developed by the Australian National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre.12 We calculated the oral morphine equivalents (OME) supplied at each opioid dispensing by multiplying the OME conversion factor for each opioid by the mass of analgesic in each tablet and the number of tablets supplied at the dispensing. For example, oxycodone has an OME conversion factor of 1.5, so a dispensing of 20 oxycodone 5 mg tablets contains 1.5\u00d720\u00d75 = 150 OMEs, equivalent to 150 mg of morphine. The total OME for each opioid analgesic dispensed to each veteran over the year was calculated, then divided by the number of days in the year (365) to provide the average OME per veteran per day. Differences in the median OME per day were compared for veterans with and without PTSD using the Wilcoxon test. We also expressed the cumulative percentage of opioid OMEs dispensed, by the cumulative percentage of patients using opioids, stratified by those with and without PTSD as a Lorenz curve.13 All analyses were performed using SAS for Windows, V9.4 (SAS Institute, Cary, North Carolina, USA).Approval to conduct the research was obtained from the University of South Australia Human Research Ethics Committee and the Department of Veterans\u2019 Affairs Human Research Ethics Committee.\nThe study cohort included 10 318 Vietnam veterans with service-related musculoskeletal pain disability. Ninety-nine per cent of study participants were men and lived in the community (Table 1).Over half of the cohort had PTSD (57.3%).Although all study participants had an accepted service-related musculoskeletal pain disability, 39% of those with PTSD and 44% of those without PTSD were not dispensed pain medicines during the study period (Table 2).Veterans with and without PTSD who were dispensed analgesics received a median of two different medicines to manage their pain during the 1 year study period (Table 2).\nThe most frequently dispensed analgesics, paracetamol (single ingredient product) and paracetamol with 30 mg codeine, were dispensed to more veterans with PTSD than to those without PTSD (Table 2).As a group, opioid analgesics were more likely to be dispensed to veterans with PTSD than those without PTSD; however, the only individual opioid analgesic more likely to be dispensed to those with PTSD compared to those without was paracetamol with 30 mg codeine (Table 2).As a group, NSAIDs were more likely to be dispensed to veterans with PTSD than those without PTSD; however, there was no difference in the proportion of veterans in either group dispensed individual NSAIDs (Table 2).\nTable 1 \u2013 Vietnam veterans with service-related musculoskeletal pain disability\n*at 1 July 2015 **No study participants were aged less than 55 years\nVeterans dispensed analgesics during the study period received a median of 5 (IQR 2-11) dispensings over the 1 year study period. Veterans dispensed paracetamol received a median of 4 supplies over the year. Among veterans dispensed opioid analgesics, the median number of supplies per veteran was 3, and among those dispensed NSAIDs there was a median of 3 supplies over the year. There was no significant difference in the number of dispensings to veterans with PTSD or those without (Figure 1).\nVeterans with PTSD were dispensed a median of 1.2 (interquartile range (IQR) 0.4 \u2013 5.8) OMEs per day over the 1 year study period, which was not significantly different to the volume of opioids dispensed to veterans without PTSD (median 1.3 (IR 0.4-6.3) OMEs per day, p = 0.3) (Figure 2).This is equivalent to the supply of just over three packs of morphine 5 mg tablets (quantity 28 tablets) over the 1 year period. Paracetamol with 30 mg codeine, oxycodone and tramadol were the most frequently dispensed opioid analgesics. The volume dispensed did not significantly differ between veterans with and without PTSD (Figure 2).\nTable 2 \u2013 Analgesic medicines used by Vietnam veterans with service-related musculoskeletal pain with or without PTSD\n*Chi-square analysis, df=2 for all comparisons. Statistically significant difference in the per cent of veterans with/without PTSD dispensed these medicines: At least one pain medicine p < 0.0001; Paracetamol p = 0.005; Any opioid p=0.002; Paracetamol and codeine 30 mg p < 0.0001; Any NSAID p = 0.01 (no statistically significant difference for other medicines) # Wilcoxon test; p=0.8\nThe Lorenz curve (Figure 3) shows that the overall volume of use of opioids was very similar for veterans with PTSD and without PTSD. Fifty per cent of opioid users (with and without PTSD) accounted for just over 96% of the total volume of opioid use (Figure 3). This indicates that the remaining 50% of opioid users consumed approximately only 4% of the total quantity of opioids dispensed during the study period.\nThe study highlights that not all veterans\u2019 with chronic service-related musculoskeletal pain receive prescription analgesics. Sixty-one per cent of Vietnam veterans who had PTSD and musculoskeletal pain were dispensed analgesics on prescription during the one year period, compared to 56% of Vietnam veterans with musculoskeletal pain but no PTSD. Paracetamol, alone or in combination with codeine 30 mg, were most frequently dispensed and were more likely to be dispensed to veterans with PTSD than those without PTSD.\nAn earlier study of analgesic use in Australian general practice patients with chronic pain who visited their GP in April/May 2008 or July/August 2009, found that 86% used at least one medicine to manage their pain, most commonly paracetamol (used by 43% of patients who managed their pain with medicines).14 One-third of patients who used medicines used opioid analgesics (including paracetamol + codeine 30 mg) to manage their pain, while 22% used NSAIDs.14 In our study, a total of 3054 veterans were dispensed paracetamol. This is equal to 50% of the 6107 patients who were dispensed analgesics; slightly higher than the prevalence of paracetamol use in the earlier study involving general practice patients. Fifty-one per cent of the veterans dispensed analgesics during the study were dispensed NSAIDs, and 3477 (57%) were dispensed opioids (including paracetamol + 30 mg codeine), both which are considerably higher than the prevalence of use among general practice patients with chronic pain. The majority of patients in the general practice study were aged 64 years or under and prevalence of pain increased with age.14 The higher prevalence of use of opioid analgesics and NSAIDs in the study population may reflect the older age of the population, as a previous Australian study also showed an increase in opioid use with increasing age.15\nFigure 1 \u2013 Median number of analgesic prescriptions per veteran over the one year study period\nInternational research has found that veterans with PTSD are more likely to use opioid analgesics, and are more likely to use them at high doses than those without PTSD.8 In the US study, 17.8% of veterans with PTSD were dispensed opioid analgesics compared to 11.7% of veterans with a mental health condition but not PTSD and 6.5% of veterans with no mental health diagnoses.8 In our study, a higher percentage of veterans with PTSD than those without PTSD were dispensed opioid analgesics (35% v 32%); largely due to greater prevalence of use of paracetamol with 30 mg codeine in the PTSD group. However, there was no significant difference in the volume or number of opioid analgesic prescriptions dispensed to veterans with or without PTSD over the study period. The veterans in the study who were dispensed opioids received a median of 1.2-1.3 OME per day for the duration of the study period. This is equivalent to enough morphine to take the minimum recommended dose for chronic non-cancer pain (5 mg twice daily)7 for between 6 and 7 weeks, or 3 to 4 standard packets (each containing 28 tablets) of morphine 5 mg tablets. Opioid analgesics are recommended to be used short-term for musculoskeletal pain7 and our results indicate that, for most Vietnam veterans with service-related musculoskeletal pain disability, short-term use of low-range doses is the norm.\nThe average daily dose of opioid analgesics dispensed to veterans in our study was much lower than the doses reported in an international study involving veterans. A study involving 141 029 American veterans who served in Iraq or Afghanistan who were diagnosed with pain, found that veterans in the highest quintile of opioid analgesic dose received a dose equivalent to 33 mg of morphine daily or higher.8 By contrast, in our study, veterans in the highest quartile of use were dispensed doses equivalent to 8 mg per day or higher. This difference may be explained, at least in part, by differences in the study methodology: the American study required participants to use opioids continuously for at least 20 days,8 whereas there was no minimum duration of opioid use for patients in our study. In addition, the age and gender of study participants were markedly different. Eleven per cent of participants in the American study were female and 58% were aged under 30 years, compared to over 99% male and all participants aged 55 or over in our study. Other studies have shown that prevalence, dose and duration of opioid use varies by age and gender.15 A national practice improvement intervention involving Australian veterans and their prescribers, aiming to improve the use of medicines for musculoskeletal pain, may have also contributed. This intervention advocated for the use of non-medicine management options where possible, and recommended that opioid analgesics should only be prescribed short-term, at doses lower than those used for managing cancer pain and only after careful consideration of alternative management options. Differences in severity of pain between the two study populations may also have contributed; however, information relating to pain severity is not recorded in our dataset.\nFigure 2 \u2013 Median OME per veteran per day over the one year study period\nOur study identified supply of prescribed analgesics; we were unable to identify the use of analgesics purchased over the counter without a prescription. It is possible that some veterans who were not dispensed prescription analgesics during the study period purchased over-the-counter paracetamol or NSAIDs to manage their pain. It may be that the prevalence of use of analgesics like paracetamol and some NSAIDs, which are available over the counter without a prescription, is higher than reported in our study. However, the prevalence of use of analgesics such as opioids or paracetamol with codeine 30 mg, which are only available via prescription, is likely to be an accurate representation of the prevalence of use in this patient population due to complete capture of data in our dataset. In addition, the high prevalence of use of paracetamol and NSAIDs in our study compared to the general practice chronic pain population indicates that we are unlikely to have underestimated use to a large extent.14 A strength of our study is the use of OME to measure opioid doses. This allows a more accurate comparison of doses for the different opioids than other measures such as the defined daily dose (DDD), which can lead to under or over-estimation of opioid doses actually taken by patients.15 In addition, there is complete capture of prescription medicines dispensed to veterans in our dataset, with no loss to other insurance services. This means that we are more likely to have complete capture of the population of veterans with chronic musculoskeletal disability than international studies, where veterans may have received health care or medicines from other sources and so do not appear in the claims data used. A limitation of our study is our inability to adjust for pain severity because this information is not recorded in the dataset. It may be that some of the veterans in our study who had a record of a musculoskeletal pain-related disability were not dispensed analgesics because they were no longer experiencing pain.\nOur study has highlighted that not all veterans with service-related musculoskeletal pain receive prescription analgesics. Among veterans who do receive prescription analgesics, those with PTSD are more likely to receive paracetamol alone, paracetamol with 30 mg codeine or NSAIDs than those without PTSD. For those dispensed opioid analgesics to manage their pain, there was no significant difference in the amount of opioid dispensed to veterans with PTSD compared to those without. Unlike international studies, problematic use of long-term, high-dose prescription opioids was not common in our study cohort.\nCorresponding author: Lisa Kalisch Ellett [email protected] Authors: L Kalisch Ellett1, N Pratt1, E Roughead1 Author Affiliations: 1 Quality Use of Medicines and Pharmacy Research Centre, School of Pharmacy and Medical Sciences, University of South Australia\nThis research was funded by the Australian Government Department of Veterans\u2019 Affairs (DVA).

        "raw_content": "NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J., April 17, 2012 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) today announced sales of $16.1 billion for the first quarter of 2012, a decrease of 0.2% as compared to the first quarter of 2011. Operational results increased 1.0% and the negative impact of currency was 1.2%. Domestic sales declined 5.1%. International sales increased 4.1%, reflecting operational growth of 6.4% and a negative currency impact of 2.3%.\nNet earnings and diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2012 were $3.9 billion and $1.41, respectively. First quarter 2012 net earnings included an after-tax gain of $106 million primarily related to the currency adjustment associated with the planned acquisition of Synthes, Inc. First quarter 2011 net earnings included after-tax charges of $271 million representing expenses due to litigation and DePuyASR\u2122 Hip recall costs. Excluding these special items, net earnings for the current quarter were $3.8 billion and diluted earnings per share were $1.37, representing increases of 1.5% and 1.5%, respectively, as compared to the same period in 2011.*\nThe Company updated its earnings guidance for full-year 2012 to $5.07 - $5.17 per share to reflect the positive impact of current exchange rates. The Company's guidance excludes the impact of special items.\n\"We continue to bring meaningful innovations to our patients and customers through the strong performance of our recently launched products,\" said William C. Weldon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. \"The dedication of the people of Johnson & Johnson gives me great confidence in the prospects of our business to deliver sustainable growth, well into the future.\"\nWorldwide Consumer sales of $3.6 billion for the first quarter represented a decrease of 2.4% versus the prior year consisting of an operational decline of 0.6% and a negative impact from currency of 1.8%. Domestic sales decreased 2.2%. International sales decreased 2.5%, which reflected an operational increase of 0.4% and a negative currency impact of 2.9%.\nSales of the U.S. over-the-counter medicines were significantly impacted by the suspension of manufacturing at the McNeil Consumer Healthcare facility in Fort Washington, Pa., and the impact on production volumes related to ongoing efforts to enhance quality and manufacturing systems. Positive contributors to operational results were NEUTROGENA\u00ae skin care products and international sales of oral care products.\nWorldwide Pharmaceutical sales of $6.1 billion for the first quarter represented an increase of 1.2% versus the prior year with operational growth of 2.6% and a negative impact from currency of 1.4%. Domestic sales decreased 10.8%. International sales increased 16.5% which reflected an operational increase of 19.6% and a negative currency impact of 3.1%.\nPositive contributors to international sales were strong results for REMICADE\u00ae (infliximab), a biologic approved for the treatment of a number of immune-mediated, inflammatory diseases, representing incremental sales from international territories included in the amended distribution agreement with Merck; VELCADE\u00ae (bortezomib), a treatment for multiple myeloma; and sales of recently launched products.\nThe strong sales results of recently launched products, include ZYTIGA\u00ae (abiraterone acetate), an oral, once-daily medication for use in combination with prednisone or prednisolone, for the treatment of men with metastatic, castration-resistant prostate cancer; STELARA\u00ae (ustekinumab), a biologic approved for the treatment of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis; and international sales of INCIVO\u00ae (telaprevir), a direct acting antiviral protease inhibitor, for the treatment of genotype-1 chronic hepatitis C virus, in combination with peginterferon alfa and ribavirin, in adults.\nDuring the quarter, Janssen Pharmaceutica NV completed the divestiture of its U.S. patents and other U.S. and Canadian intellectual property for Bystolic\u00ae (nebivolol), which is currently approved in the U.S. for the treatment of hypertension, to Forest Laboratories Holdings Limited.\nWorldwide Medical Devices and Diagnostics sales of $6.4 billion for the first quarter represented a decrease of 0.3% versus the prior year consisting of an operational increase of 0.5% and a negative currency impact of 0.8%. Domestic sales increased 0.2%. International sales decreased 0.7%, which reflected an operational increase of 0.7% and a negative currency impact of 1.4%.\nPrimary contributors to operational growth included LifeScan's blood glucose monitoring products; Vistakon's disposable contact lenses; Biosense Webster's electrophysiology business; and Advanced Sterilization Products' infection prevention technologies. The growth was impacted by lower sales in the Cardiovascular Care business, reflecting the decision made to exit the drug eluting stent market in the 2nd Quarter of 2011.\nDuring the quarter, Ethicon Endo-Surgery Inc. received an approvable letter for the SEDASYS\u00ae System, a computer assisted personalized sedation system, from the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health.\nIn connection with the pending purchase of Synthes, Inc., DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc. received a binding offer from Biomet, Inc. to acquire the DePuy Orthopaedics Trauma business. The offer includes the purchase of DePuy's internal and external fixation products used in the treatment of bone fractures as well as the organization supporting this business. The divestiture is subject to receipt of regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.\n(This press release contains \"forward-looking statements\" as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

The Company provides earnings before provision for taxes on income, net earnings, net earnings per share (diluted), and effective tax rate on an adjusted basis because management believes that these measures provide useful information to investors. Among other things, these measures may assist investors in evaluating the Company's results of operations period over period. In various periods, these measures may exclude such items as significant costs associated with acquisitions, restructuring, litigation, and changes in applicable laws and regulations (including significant accounting or tax matters). Special items may be highly variable, difficult to predict, and of a size that sometimes has substantial impact on the Company's reported results of operations for a period. Management uses these measures internally for planning, forecasting and evaluating the performances of the Company's businesses, including allocating resources and evaluating results relative to employee performance compensation targets. Unlike earnings before provision for taxes on income, net earnings, net earnings per share (diluted), and effective tax rate prepared in accordance with GAAP, adjusted earnings before provision for taxes on income, adjusted net earnings, adjusted net earnings per share (diluted), and adjusted effective tax rate may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures for other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures are presented solely to permit investors to more fully understand how management assesses the performance of the Company. The limitations of using these non-GAAP financial measures as performance measures are that they provide a view of the Company's results of operations without including all events during a period, such as the effects of an acquisition, restructuring, litigation, and changes in applicable laws and regulations (including significant accounting or tax matters) and do not provide a comparable view of the Company's performance to other companies in the health care industry. Investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as replacements for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.\nLitigation/DePuy ASR\u2122 Hip related costs\nCurrency related and costs associated with planned acquisition of Synthes, Inc.\nThe Company believes investors gain additional perspective of underlying business trends and results by providing a measure of earnings before provision for\ntaxes on income, net earnings and diluted net earnings per share that excludes special items in order to evaluate ongoing business operations.",

Indonesia, a country consisting of more than 17,000 islands, has 162 airports administered by its government through the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) of the Ministry of Transportation. In response to budget constraints to expand these airports for services, the government has initiated collaboration with the private sector to develop airports. This paper aims to assist decision makers in deciding which of the 162 airports should be prioritized for partnership based on project feasibility. The study used qualitative and quantitative approaches, employing an analytical hierarchy process (AHP) method, multi-criteria weighting, and financial feasibility to analyze the findings. As a result, the prioritized airports recommended for partnership with the private sector are expressed in a quadrant priority of scale.\nKeyword : airport choice, financial feasibility, infrastructure, multi-criteria weighting, privatization\nBerawi, M.A., Susantono, B., Miraj, P. and Nurmadinah, F. 2018.

        "raw_content": "The Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS) has announced that Canadian radio entrepreneur Allan Slaight is the 2005 recipient of the Walt Grealis Special Achievement Award. The prestigious award recognizes individuals who have contributed to the growth and development of the Canadian music industry.\nSlaight was honoured by the Canadian Association of Broadcasters (CAB) upon his induction into the Broadcast Hall of Fame in 1997. In 2001, he was appointed a Member of the Order of Canada to recognize his lifetime of achievement and service to his community and country.\nMany of Canada\u2019s leading artists received support from Slaight early on in their careers. As Canadian music icon Gordon Lightfoot comments, \u201cI\u2019ve known Allan Slaight for many years and consider him a good friend. Before we had any Canadian content rules, Allan went to bat for Canadian artists. I think it\u2019s high time he was recognized for his help and contribution to our music industry here in Canada.\u201d\nRock n\u2019 roll legend Ronnie Hawkins also exclaimed, \u201cNo one deserves a lifetime achievement award more than Al Slaight because he spent a lifetime working his ass off to help Canadian music and make it better,\u201d said Hawkins. \u201cEveryone in music in Canada owes Al Slaight, especially me. He and his associates started pushing rock n\u2019 roll before anybody else in Canada that I know of. The entire Canadian music industry owes a lot to Mr. Al Slaight.\u201d\n\u201cI have learned many things from Allan over the years \u2026 including the importance of supporting Canadian talent,\u201d said Gary Slaight. \u201cIt\u2019s great to see my father being honoured with this prestigious award.\u201d\nA leading figure in the Canadian radio industry, Slaight is the sole owner of Canada\u2019s largest privately owned multi-media company, Standard Broadcasting Corporation Limited. In the late 1940s, Allan began his career as a news reporter/announcer in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. Over the next decade, Slaight held announcing and news positions at various radio stations in Edmonton, Alberta. In 1956, Allan ventured into sales and landed the General Sales Manager position at CHED radio station in Edmonton. Demonstrating exceptional skills in both the newsroom and the business aspect of broadcasting, Slaight worked his way to Toronto where he became Program Director of CHUM in 1958. Due to Allan\u2019s hard work and determination, CHUM garnered a spike in ratings, and in 1965 Slaight became Vice President and General Manager of CHUM AM/FM.\nIn 1970, Mr. Slaight established Slaight Communications as the next phase of his entrepreneurial career. In 1985, Allan acquired Standard Broadcasting Corporation Ltd., now the largest privately owned multi-media company in Canada with 51 radio stations and two television stations across the country plus a retail marketing services company. It also has a 40% equity interest in Sirius Canada, Inc., 30% in each of Milestone Radio Inc. and The Haliburton Broadcasting Group Inc., 25% in U. S. broadcaster Martz Communications Group LLC, and 24% in 3937844 Canada Inc., a company holding 19 licenses in rural Alberta and Calgary. In addition, it has minority interest in Maplecore Ltd., Milestone Media Broadcasting (Edmonton) Ltd., and Puretracks/Moontaxi.",

        "raw_content": "I had to share this amazing music video by the incredible DJ Steve Porter. He spliced together a few of the most memorable press conference rants, applying AutoTune (T-Pain\u2019s crutch) when necessary. Such as:\nAllen Iverson: Not a game, not a game, not a game\u2026 we talkin\u2019 \u2019bout practice.\nJim Mora: P-Playoffs? PLAYOFFS?!?!\nDenny Green (former SDSU prof): The Bears are who we THOUGHT they were! And we let em off the hook!\nMike Gundy: I\u2019m a man! I\u2019m 40! Come after me!\nTerrell Eldorado Owens: That\u2019s my team. That\u2019s my quarterback.\nI love this video, but it reminded me of how much I hate press conferences. Then again, this is coming from a disgruntled print reporter.\nEven ESPN has realized what a joke these things are. A few years ago, they had former\nWould you want advice from the guy who traded away Jason Bay?\n(failed) general manager Steve Phillips playing the role of each GM in the league as a mock press conference. One week, he\u2019d be representing the Chicago Cubs, the next, the Anaheim Angels, the next the Pittsburgh Pirates, and so on.\nThe sad thing is, they had real journalists at these fake, made-for-TV press conferences. Buster Olney, one of the best baseball scribes around, was lobbing softball questions like he was in a beer league. And aside from \u201cYeah, we should probably try to get another bat for the stretch run,\u201d Phillips didn\u2019t offer much insight.\nThis doesn\u2019t differ much from a real live press conference.\nA normal press conference means a dozen or so scribes, maybe a TV camera or two, asking boring questions like, \u201cHow do you feel about your pitcher\u2019s performance today?\u201d or \u201cWhy did you call a run on that 3rd down in the 4th quarter?\u201d I do this too, mainly because if I have a different, interesting angle (which I usually do), I don\u2019t want to give any hint to a hee-haw with a TV station or a competing paper.\nI\u2019ll gather my graphs and quotes about the pitcher\u2019s performance (if I\u2019m talking to SDSU baseball head coach Tony Gwynn, I can just automatically assume that his guys \u201cscrapped\u201d or were \u201cscrappers\u201d) or write that the coach had confidence in his fullback to plow ahead for a first down, but I don\u2019t really feel satisfied.\nEveryone there has the same information. It doesn\u2019t help the journalist and it doesn\u2019t help the reader, which is really what this whole thing is about.\nPrevious Post Little bit of this, little bit of that\nNext Post Death",

        "title": "She Said \"Hello\" | Jewish Women's Archive",
        "raw_content": "Home \u203a Blog \u203a She Said \"Hello\"\nShe Said \"Hello\"\nA while ago, my mother and I were out shopping and ran into someone we knew. My parents had spent a lot of time with this person over the years, so I prepared for a long catch-up. But my mom simply said a pleasant \u201cHello\u201d and kept walking. I didn\u2019t realize until we were in the car that my parents were no longer speaking to this person. They\u2019d had a falling out, and not over something petty\u2014it had involved the unapologetic use of a racial slur. I had a chuckle over this: The closest my mother could come to completely rebuffing someone was to politely say \u201cHello\u201d and keep walking.\nI thought of this as I listened to the testimony of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford during Judge Kavanaugh\u2019s Senate confirmation hearings last week. There were many disturbing details about her account: that her attacker put his hand over her mouth to keep her from screaming, that she worried that she would suffocate, that her attackers laughed while they assaulted her.\nBut what struck me most was her account of running into Mark Judge weeks later at the grocery store. She said he looked uncomfortable when he saw her. The prosecutor questioning her asked how she knew he was uncomfortable. Dr. Ford said, \u201cI said hello to him and his face was white and very uncomfortable saying hello back.\u201d\nAccording to her testimony, this boy had been present at one of the most traumatic moments of her life. He had stood by while another boy attempted to assault her, laughing, egging him on, and possibly waiting his turn. And still, she felt compelled to say \u201cHello\u201d to him.\nThe events of recent weeks have drawn our attention to many problematic aspects of our culture: We dismiss acts of sexual violence as horseplay or youthful indiscretion. We refuse to believe women, blame them for their attackers\u2019 actions, and then question why they don\u2019t come forward when they are attacked. And after all that women are asked to endure\u2014from microaggressions to verbal harassment to physical assault\u2014we are still asked, constantly, to be nice.\nI\u2019m currently reading Not That Bad: Dispatches from Rape Culture, an anthology edited by Roxane Gay. While making my way through the book, I\u2019ve been struck by how many women felt they had to be nice to the person who violated them. How many women stayed in\u2014or returned to\u2014the room, the car, or the relationship, for fear of breaching some unwritten social contract to be nice and polite and not make a scene? How many women have tried to gracefully exit a situation when the best course of action might have been to say, firmly, \u201cI\u2019m leaving\u201d or \u201cYou have to go now\u201d?\nSo many women are socialized to be nice rather than to advocate for themselves, even at the expense of defining and defending their physical boundaries. As we enter spaces traditionally occupied by men (or anywhere), we are taught that we have to be nice to make people feel comfortable with our presence, even when that comfort comes at our own detriment\u2014even when people are decidedly not nice to us.\nAs Dr. Ford gave testimony about one of the worst experiences of her life, she was consistently patient, deferential, and apologetic to the committee. At one point, she even apologized for that behavior, saying, \u201cI\u2019m used to being collegial.\u201d Her stated desire to be \u201chelpful\u201d stood in stark contrast to the tone of Judge Kavanaugh\u2019s testimony. Clearly, no one had told him he had to be nice.\nWhile socializing women to be nice plays a huge part in perpetuating rape culture, it also has an effect on the larger continuum of behavior that perpetuates gender inequality.\nDr. Ford\u2019s testimony reminded me of all the times I chose to play nice, sometimes at my own expense. I remembered saying something firmly in a professional setting, then softening it with laughter or an apology. I remembered being patronized, diminished, and even publicly humiliated, and smiling in response rather than confronting the perpetrator and \u201cmaking a scene.\u201d I remembered deciding not to call out sexism during a professional interview, because I knew it would cost me the job. I remembered complaining to my supervisor that a coworker was being disrespectful towards me and being told I had to \u201cwin them over.\u201d\nThis kind of behavior can be hard to unlearn once it has been learned. Since I spend a lot of my time as a professional talking to young people and their families, I\u2019ve started to think about how we might change the way we speak to young people at the outset.\nWhat would it be like if, instead of teaching young women to be nice, deferential, and apologetic (and teaching the world to expect that from them), we taught them a new vocabulary?\nYou can\u2019t talk to me like that.\nYou can\u2019t touch me like that.\nYou can\u2019t treat me like that.\nYou need to leave now.\nWhat if we taught young women to say this without shaking, without laughing, and without apologizing? And how might we teach young men (and other young women) to hear those words, and respect them?\nSometimes, I\u2019ll describe a difficult conversation or situation at work to my mother. Hearing the anger and agitation in my voice, feelings I might have been suppressing all day, she\u2019ll say, \u201cI hope you were nice about it.\u201d\nAnd I\u2019ll sigh heavily, \u201cOf course I was nice about it.\u201d\nShare your own #MeToo story with us.\nMore on: Feminism, Women's Rights, Law, Sexual Assault, Sexual Harassment, Senate, SCOTUS\nI cringe when I think back on all the times I had to act nice when I should\u2019ve spoken out. I had rage throughout my life up until I got divorced and became a single parent. I\u2019ve been empowered with the ability to achieve what most women think they can\u2019t. I no longer have free floating rage. I say what needs to be said, do what needs to get done and I don\u2019t do nice. I\u2019m 60.\nI blamed myself for visiting a slavic university student for my sentimental memories of Yugoslavia. Years later, when my daughter read my book, she cried out: \"but mom...you were raped\".\nBarbara Kline 4 months ago\nI think that the situation often is more complicated than those described above, the desire to respond forcefully might be blunted by feelings of guilt, false responsibility in causing the abhorent male behavior in the first place. Or, in a social setting, affecting others in your social circle related to the offender. I will look for your thoughts on this, finding your statement sensitive and to many points.\nIt is with great pride that I am able present myself to the world as an independent intelligent Jewish woman. Being born in 1948, I too was taught to \"be nice.\" However, I was also taught not to take any crap from anyone.My Mother made sure I did not suffer the indignities of her generation being born in 1914. I was even taught it was OK to beat a boy at ping pong, or marbles or tennis and certainly not to be dismissed as a professional person. I am honored to support this organization...lets turn up the volume even more. May we make our foremothers proud of us as we face the present sexist scourge. Our actions honor all the women who fought the injustices of their generation from Judith in Bibical times to the Nortoorious RBG. . Thank you for all you do.\nHarriet Fein 4 months ago\nThank you for your omens. I am 91 years old and can relate so well to what you have said!!\nBarbara Bornstein 4 months ago\nI am a very angry 75 year old woman. Now that Dr. Ford has spoken out, she will be the one to pay; not just because of her testimony but because of the outrageous attack upon her from the person noted to be the President of the United States. She may pay far more from the backlash than from the original sexual assault. I'm not sure I know a womman who has not faced some kind of sexual \"assault\" (yes, it is difficult for me to use that word) at some point in her life. I could immediately name four of my own; an uncle, a friend's father, a date and a priest at a professional meeting. I'm sure anyone reading this has her own list. If we thought \"Me Too\" was a new beginning, I fear that just with all the other rights I spent so much of my adult life fighting for and am now losing, we will lose this battle too. If someone has the answer, please write in.\nJane LaLone 4 months ago\n#Me Too. I have been assaulted and harassed from early childhood and into middle age. It has been something I have mentioned to very few people. When I first told a few people close to me when I was in my mid-life, I did not feel supported or any empathy. So, I reserved my sharing for counselors and a support group. But, if anyone who is neither a counselor or a someone who has been victimized, it is rare to be met with compassion and loving kindness. Even in a religious setting within the last year, some men have said \"The #Me Too movement goes too far and is really a lynching party.\" These were men over 65. Are younger men more likely to be sensitive to this issue.\nThank you Rabbi for the suggestion of training young girls to be assertive, rather than always \"nice.\" To protect oneself is case of BEING NICE TO ONESELF!!

The first weekend in March is the time for the shiny node of Los Angeles to parade its sun and glitz to the world, a perfect contrast to the blizzards of the northeast and a stark reminder of the unreality of the movie world. It\u2019s Uncle Oscar\u2019s birthday!\nThat unreality was pushed even further by the triumph of this year\u2013 the Best Picture winner, The Shape of Water. The win has prompted some heated debate in the household. We all liked the movie when we saw it, and my 20-year-old daughter was particularly delighted as she\u2019s been a del Toro fan since Hellboy. My wife said it really made her think about how they took the \u201cfish out of water\u201d idea and explored it from so many angles. But then, she wrote a short story called \u201cFish out of Water,\u201d so I guess she oughta know.\nShape of Water cartoon courtesy of Los Angeles Magazine\nDespite what I am about to say, The Shape of Water is an excellent movie, interesting, sophisticated, innovative in its way, and worthy of an award. This award? Well, I don\u2019t know. This is the second year in a row where a fantasy has been close to the top prize, and between La La Land and this movie, I am wondering if there\u2019s a new category of adult fantasy that\u2019s started some sort of trend.

        "raw_content": "Edisto Island, South Carolina facts for kids\nEdisto Island is one of South Carolina's Sea Islands, the larger part of which lies in Charleston County, with its southern tip in Colleton County. The town of Edisto Beach is in Colleton County, while the Charleston County part of the island is unincorporated.\nThe island, town, and Edisto River are named after the historic Edistow people, a Native American sub-tribe of the Cusabo Indians, who inhabited the island as well as nearby mainland areas.\nIndigenous peoples often had fishing camps on the islands, using them seasonally. The historic Edisto people are known to have occupied the island as well as mainland areas and traded with the upcountry Catawba. The sub-tribe became extinct during the colonial period. The Wassamassaw Tribe of Varnertown Indians is a group of descendants of various tribes who intermarried and who have occupied a settlement between Summerville and Moncks Corner in Berkeley County, South Carolina. In 2005 they gained state recognition as an Indian group, one of six tribes to do so.\nThe first tracts of land, called plantations, were granted on Edisto Island before 1700. Landowners first harvested timber and deerskins, planted indigo and some rice, and kept herds of free-ranging cattle to produce hides for the European market and salt beef for Caribbean plantations. Cotton gradually became the principal crop, and after the American Revolution, Edisto Island planters became wealthy and famous from their production of long-staple Sea Island cotton. The labor done by hundreds of enslaved Africans who developed the creole Gullah language and culture on the islands and in the Lowcountry, distinctive for its African traditions.\nSince the twentieth century, the island has been redeveloped for use as a tourist destination and resorts, although some private plantations remain.\nThe Alexander Bache U.S. Coast Survey Line, Bailey's Store, Bleak Hall Plantation Outbuildings, Brick House Ruins, Brookland Plantation, Cassina Point, Crawford's Plantation House, Edisto Island Baptist Church, Edisto Island Presbyterian Church, Fig Island, Frogmore, Paul Grimball House Ruins, Hutchinson House, Middleton's Plantation, Oak Island, Old House Plantation, Peter's Point Plantation, Presbyterian Manse, Prospect Hill, William Seabrook House, Seaside School, Seaside Plantation House, Spanish Mount Point, Sunnyside, Hephzibah Jenkins Townsend's Tabby Oven Ruins, Trinity Episcopal Church, Wescott Road, and Windsor Plantation are listed in the National Register of Historic Places.\nEdisto Island is located 42 miles (68 km) (about one hour by car) southwest of Charleston. Edisto Island is home to Edisto Beach and Wyndham Oceanridge resort.\nEdisto Island State Park is also located on the island. The park is open to day visitors as well as rent and RV camping. The park has a ranger station, bathrooms with running water and showers, a playground, and an education center. The campsites are unique in that there are many that are on the beachfront, overlooking the ocean. Hanging moss trees shade the park. Each site is equipped with electricity and water hook ups, a fire pit, and a picnic table.\nThere are some small restaurants in walking distance from the campground and a supermarket is located across the street.\nThe only grocery store near the beach is a BI-LO out on Jungle Road. There are three gas stations and about a dozen independently owned restaurants, most of which specialize in local seafood.\nAs of the census of 2000, there were 2,301 people, 1,030 households, and 685 families residing in the CDP. The population density was about 34 people per square mile. There were 1,193 housing units at an average density of 34ppl/sq mi (84.4/km\u00b2). The racial makeup of the CDP was 59.6% White, 39.1% African American, 0.20% Native American, 0.0% Asian, 0.6% from other races, and 0.5% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 1.4% of the population.\nEdisto Island, South Carolina Facts for Kids. Kiddle Encyclopedia.",

It began 145 million years ago, and ended 100.5 million years ago.\nLasting for about 46 million years, this is the longest stage in the Phanerozoic eon. It is longer than some of the geological periods in the Phanerozoic.\nThe Lower Cretaceous is best displayed in England, where it is composed of two series of rocks. Between the two is a major rise in sea level.\nLower, the Wealden Beds, laid down in freshwater or brackish conditions. Sands came from the flood plain of a huge tropical braided river. Clays came from a coastal lagoonal plain.\nUpper, the Greensands, an olive-green sandstone deposited in the sea; and the Gault Clay, a formation of stiff blue clay deposited in a calm, fairly deep water marine environment. It overlays the Lower Greensand formation.\nA simplified geological diagram of the Wealden Dome as relating to Kent.\nThe two parts of the Cretaceous represent the sea level where the divisions were first defined. In the Lower Cretaceous, the sea level was much lower than in the Upper Cretaceous. In the Wealden, Southern England was a huge tropical river delta; in the Greensand the same areas were just offshore. However, in the Upper Cretaceous the deposits were made in deeper water, on what was then the continental shelf. Sea level then stood at its highest level in the Mesozoic.\nLower Cretaceous Facts for Kids. Kiddle Encyclopedia.",

        "raw_content": "What Are Bill Johnson\u2019s Heresies?\nNovember 14, 2016 in discernment, religion | Tags: Bill Johnson, False Teachers, Kris Valloton, signs and wonders | Leave a comment\nBY BRANDON HINES \u00b7 NOVEMBER 14, 2016\nIn the past few weeks, Bill Johnson has been the center of a lot of controversy. With Montanist apologists like Michael Brown defending his errors and whitewashing his heresies and others falling prey to his exploitation, the fact that he is a heretic at all is being questioned. Bill Johnson seriously needs to be tested against the Scripture.\nThe Kenosis heresy teaches that Jesus set aside His divinity while on Earth. According to this doctrine, Jesus was no longer divine from His birth to His ascension. Bill Johnson has promoted this heresy in Face to Face with God on page 108. He said,\n\u201cJesus set aside His divinity, choosing instead to live as a man completely dependent on God.\u201d\nTruth is, if Jesus set aside His divinity and became a man, Jesus would have been nothing more than a man. This is not the only time that Johnson promoted Kenosis. In chapter 7 of When Heaven Meets Earth, Johnson claimed,\n\u201c[Jesus] laid His divinity aside as He sought to fulfill the assignment given to Him by the Father.\u201d\nTo claim that Jesus put His divinity aside while on Earth brings another Gospel. If Jesus was not divine when He died on the Cross, then He would not have been a sufficient sacrifice. In that case His death would be in vain and so would our faith. Instead, Jesus is treated like God while He is on Earth. He received worship (John 20:28, Matthew 2:2, Matthew 14:33, Matthew 28:9), claimed to be God (John 5:18, John 8:24, John 8:58), and did things only God could do all while on Earth (Matthew 9:2, Mark 2:5, 1 Peter 2:22).\nOsteenism\nJohnson has also taught the false gospel of Osteenism, more commonly called the Prosperity Gospel. The Prosperity Gospel teaches that health, wealth, and prosperity are promises of salvation or obedience. In a 2013 article entitled Courage to Leave a Legacy, Johnson wrote,\n\u201cOur connection with God is obviously the source of all blessing, prosperity and goodness in our lives. We make our way prosperous through obedience because when we do what He asks us to do, we strengthen our connection with the source of life.\u201d\nI would remind Bill that the most obedient person of the Bible was a poor carpenter who was brutally crucified, and someone who was called the greatest person born of a normal birth (Matthew 11:11) was a nomad who lived in the desert, wore camel hair for clothing, ate locusts and honey, and had his head cut off for his obedience.\nThroughout the Bible, we see James get beheaded, Stephen get stoned, and the number of people who have gotten sick appear to pile up: Timothy, Epaphroditus, Trophimus, and even possibly Paul himself. However, that does not stop Johnson from saying Jesus died for our physical healing. In an article entitled Is It Always God\u2019s Will to Heal Someone?, Johnson claims,\n\u201cWhen He bore stripes in His body He made a payment for our miracle.\u201d\nRetanism\nThere is another false teaching out there pushed by people such as Kenneth Copeland and Joyce Meyer that teaches that Jesus was born again. I called this teaching \u201cRetanism\u201d, and if it was a civil crime to preach it then Bill Johnson would be found guilty. In one sermon (Which has been reviewed on Chris Rosebrough\u2019s Fighting for the Faith), Johnson can be quoted as saying,\n\u201cSo [Jesus] was born through Mary, the Virgin, and then he was born again in the resurrection.\u201d\nJesus was not born again because He did not need to be Born Again. He did not have a sinful nature and He, though tempted, did not desire to rebel against God. He was not dead in trespasses and sins, so He did not need to be made alive. However, Bill Johnson says Jesus was born again in many places, including this video, where he asks,\n\u201cDid you know that Jesus was born again?\u201d\nA good link to other articles\nBill Johnson / Bethel Church, Redding, California",

The initiative, named the Permanence Project, was announced at the opening press conference to kick off the CBCF\u2019s 44th Annual Legislative Conference (ALC), Sept. 24 \u2013 27.\n\u201cToday the CBCF is launching a permanent link between citizens and public policy development as it impacts African Americans.\u201d said Representative Chaka Fattah, president of the CBCF Board of Directors. \u201cI have faith that this virtual community will prove indispensable in our work to create a more perfect union with less disparities.\u201d\n\u201cThe Permanence Project expands our ability to connect stakeholders in the academic, government and public policy communities across the country in real time,\u201d said A. Shuanise Washington, president and CEO of CBCF. \u201cOne of our chief goals is to create a thriving online community for productive exchanges on public policy issues impacting black communities,\u201d she continued. \u201cBut we also endeavor to provide nonpartisan, fact-based research at a time when the nation is politically polarized.\u201d\nAs part of the enrollment launch, the CBCF is recruiting one-thousand Beta testers with the goal of launching the Beta in the first quarter of 2015.\n\u201cWe\u2019re very excited to become a partner of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, Inc.\u2019s Permanence Project\u2014a project we see as critical to our goal of engaging young people of color to contribute to debates over policy,\u201d said Jen Mishory, executive director and a founding staff member of Young Invincibles.\nThe Permanence Project is being built on a cloud-based, web platform offering up-to-date analyses and resources on public policy issues that are discussed and debated on Capitol Hill and in legislative bodies across the nation. When fully launched, the Permanence Project will feature access to reports, research materials and digital resources to enable the public to make informed decisions about public policy issues.\nThe site will also include regular commentary and editorials, event announcements, news, alerts and opportunities for discussion among users. Users will be able to create unique profiles and register for email notifications to receive updates and alerts. The Young Invincibles and other content providers, who have an interest in advancing and impacting black communities, will provide public policy resources for the Permanence Project.\nA. Shuanise Washington concluded, \u201cThe Permanence Project is part of CBCF\u2019s 21st-century strategy to develop leaders, inform policy and educate the public. It will engage ordinary citizens in policy issues that impact and matter to them.\u201d\nRegister for the CBCF\u2019s Permanence Project Beta online athttp://cbcfinc.org/permanenceproject.\nA.

        "title": "Communist States of America \u2013 The Lafayette Ledger",
        "raw_content": "\"...A more perfect union?\"\nAnthony Keatts, Reporter/Editor|January 23, 2019\nImportant Communist figures\n\u201cA specter is haunting Europe \u2014 the specter of communism.\u201d\nThat specter didn\u2019t haunt only Europe, it stretched its apparitional hands across the Atlantic Ocean and to the United States. In 1919 the Communist Party of the United States of America was founded by C.E. Ruthenberg. According to the party they have been fighting for democracy, women\u2019s equality, racial justice and peace for one hundred years. The party is founded on the Marxism-Leninism, which is the beliefs of Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, and Vladimir Lenin. The CPUSA also follows the belief of bill of rights socialism, the belief that the United States bill of rights championed a socialist society. They fall on the far left of the political spectrum passing socialism. Many Communist belief that you must go from a capitalist society to a socialist and finally to a communist society. Lafayette junior Daniel O\u2019Neal disagrees with this idea, \u201c\u2026 because we\u2019ve adopted an individualist/capitalistic society for so long. It would take a long time for the people to adjust.\u201d\nAnthony Keatts\nDaniel O\u2019Neal down on one knee, trying not to disturb the library\nThe CPUSA believes that a communist future will be one without war, the exploitation of the working class, human inequality, and poverty. They speculate that with a communist state the future will be a brighter future. One built on democracy, peace, justices, equality, cooperation and being able to meet all humans\u2019 needs. A future in which the proletariat is able to control his own destiny and work toward building a better world and that in this new socialist society the wealth that is produced will for the first time be truly beneficial for all people. In the event that this socialist America becomes a reality, they say the democratic rights of the people will be guaranteed and expanded. They continue on to state that,\n\u201cWe, the working people of the United States, face tremendous problems today: exploitation, oppression, racism, sexism, a deteriorating environment and infrastructure, huge budget deficits, and a government dominated by the most vicious elements of big capital and its political operatives. This government, despite its rhetoric about making Americans safe, has wasted hundreds of billions on the invasion and occupation of Iraq while it cut money for maintaining the levees leading directly to the disaster that Hurricane Katrina wreaked on the people of New Orleans and much of the Gulf Coast. Their callous disregard for African Americans, for poor people, for the elderly, and for all those unable to evacuate on their own exemplifies their inhumane disregard for the lives of all working people.\u201d(-Taken from the CPUSA website.)\nMatt Zayas, Lafayette senior working on his next article for the Ledger.\nThe Communist Party believes that the capitalist oppression effects everyone from African Americans to Senior citizens and everything in-between. Lafayette senior Matt Zayas revealed that he doesn\u2019t think the United States has an \u201cofficially stated\u201d class system, \u201cbut due to how the economy is, they are created.\u201d The oppression they speak of effects everyone except white people who have to act as a white savior to protect everyone who isn\u2019t white nor Christian. The CPUSA ask white people to treat race like dances with wolves.\nLet\u2019s move onto the other half of the Communist Party of the United States of America, the Bill of Rights of Socialism. Their belief in this Bill of Rights of Socialism, as they say, would be built on a stronger foundation then the Bill of rights in the United States Constitution. Guarantying the right of freedom of speech and religion with equality for all. They support everyone\u2019s right to have a job, health care, and an education. Finally, that the police and prison systems need to be reformed from the ground up and must be purged of racial disparity. Daniel Downs, a US history teacher at Lafayette High School, does not believe the Bill of Rights really speaks of a socialist society. \u201cNo, not at all, I always saw them as conservative. To think them to be socialist doesn\u2019t connect with what they wrote. Socialism usually goes with an authoritarian government, not a democratic one.\u201d\nDaniel Downs, Lafayette history teacher giving his opinion on communism\nIn conclusion, the Communist Party of the United States focuses greatly on racial issues and the defeat of the far-right along with the elevation of the working class and the disbanding of all classes for a truly equal society. I see the CPUSA as a small political party with not enough power to achieve their goals, and for a lack of better word I find them ultimately irrelevant when it comes to United States politics. The word Communism has been corrupted by authoritarian dictatorships and has a negative connotation, even though there has been a spike in the younger generations calling themselves a \u201ccommunist\u201d or a \u201csocialist.\u201d It seems this is either merely to stand out and grab attention through use of \u201cshocking\u201d terms, or they have only a basic grasp on the principles of these two ideologies. Even if one truly believes in communism or socialism, we must all acknowledge that there will always be those who believe they\u2019re above the rules, or seek to bend the rules in their favor and turn stability into chaos, thus undermining systems like these which are based, fundamentally, on an assumption of goodness on the part of humanity.",

        "title": "Chief of Police 2012 Messages - LAPD Blog",
        "raw_content": "Chief\u2019s Message September 2012\nThe month of September marks the beginning of fall and the exciting start of the new school season for many young children, but it is bittersweet because we will always remember the innocent civilians and our first responder brothers and sisters who lost their lives during the tragic September 11th terrorist attacks. Despite the passage of 11 years, this loss still resonates with us today. Although, it motivates us to continue our fight to prevent current acts of terrorism both domestically and abroad.\nIn the years since the attacks, the LAPD has developed some of the leading counter-terrorism strategies and tactics in the nation. Programs such as iWatch have been nationally recognized and implemented in other cities throughout the country.\nRecently, we also hosted the Joint Counter-Terrorism Awareness Workshop in conjunction with the Department of Homeland Security, the National Counter-Terrorism Center and the FBI. The two day seminar brought together 350 regional first responders and private sector representatives from the Los Angeles area to share information and discuss some of the latest strategies and tactics to identify and combat terrorist activity. This collaboration between local, state, federal and the private sector partners will ultimately help safeguard our region.\nThe war on terror is one that will continue indefinitely, as we are always targets to those who view us as the enemy. We must continue to be vigilant and unwavering in our commitment to keep the people in the City of Los Angeles safe and we must take proactive measures in order to prevent attacks before they occur.\nYour safety is my number one priority and I want to stress the importance of not over-driving when working in the field. Traffic related collisions are one of the leading causes of injuries to officers. While I understand you want to get to the scene of a radio call or incident as quickly as possible, it should never be at the expense of arriving safely. Over-driving can put you, your partner, and the public in dangerous predicaments where injuries or even fatalities can occur. Please drive safely and always wear your seatbelt because I want nothing more than for all of you to make it home unharmed to your family at the end of your shift.\nIn addition, I want to remind you we are quickly approaching the end of the year. As a result, officers tend to accrue more expenses and have many more responsibilities occurring in their personal lives. The combination of these things can cause increased stress levels that can potentially have a negative effect on your personal and professional life. Fortunately there are a number of resources available to you including the Los Angeles Police Relief Association, Los Angeles Police Protective League and Behavioral Science Services. Take advantage of these resources if you find yourself in a difficult situation because help is always readily available.\nAt the end of this month the second phase of the 405 expansion will occur and a portion of the freeway that connects the Valley to the West side will be shut down for an entire weekend. When the first phase was completed last year, we were able to avoid traffic gridlock and public hysteria by successfully working with our state and local partners to make the community aware of the pending closure. For this expansion phase, we also have been working with our state and local partners for months in order to coordinate our efforts to avoid \u201cCarmageddon.\u201d Many individuals have been working diligently on the planning and strategic phases and I want to thank those of you involved in this cumbersome process.\nFor the past couple of months many of you have been exercising diligently and watching your diet all in the name of competition and good health. Likewise, many divisions and sections have organized group exercise sessions, dietary instruction, and offered motivational messages with the hopes of taking home the title of weight loss champions. With the challenge now in its final stages, I urge you to continue with your beneficial changes and good habits you developed in order to apply them to a permanent lifestyle of wellness. The benefits of your hard work are noticeable and I sincerely appreciate your hard work and inspiring spirit.\nFor those of you who might have missed out on this year\u2019s challenge, it\u2019s not too late to begin a workout regimen and develop healthy habits of your own. Personal wellness should be a lifelong undertaking as the benefits are countless. Congratulations to all of this year\u2019s participants on your accomplishment and I wish you continued success as we move forward.\nHistory of West Los Angeles Area\nWest Los Angeles Station provides service and protection to over a quarter of a million people, stretching over sixty-five square miles. West Los Angeles Division began its life in 1922 when it was known as \u201cSawtelle Division\u201d due to its location on Sawtelle Boulevard. The current West Los Angeles Division, located on Butler Avenue, is in the heart of West LA and was constructed and dedicated in 1974.\nWest LA is home to some of the most valuable real estate in the United States. It also the home of many internationally recognized individuals in the entertainment and business community.\nFallen Heroes of West Los Angeles Area\nTwo West Los Angeles Police Officers made the ultimate sacrifice.\nPolice Officer Fred Early, EOW March 23, 1973 - succumbed to a gunshot wound from a confrontation with a burglary suspect.\nPolice Officer Michael McDougal, EOW January 19, 1975 - was killed in a motorcycle accident.\nSignificant Events in West Los Angeles Area\nWest Los Angeles has been the scene of some of the City\u2019s most famous and infamous crimes:\n* The death of Marilyn Monroe in Brentwood\n* The Manson murders in Benedict Canyon\n* The murders of Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman in Brentwood\n* The rape arrest of Roman Polanski in Bel Air\n* The murder of Ennis Cosby on the 405 Freeway at Skirball Center Drive\n* The murder of Playmate of the Year 1979 Dorothy Stratton\n* The murder of Dag Drollet in Bel Air with the arrest of Christian Brando\n* The Manslaughter of Michael Jackson in Holmby Hills\nIt is with honor and pride that the officers and civilian employees protect and serve the West Los Angeles community. Together we make West L.A. a great place to live and work.\nStay safe out there and always look out for each other.\nChief of Police Message - August 2012\nThe month of August marks the 29th year anniversary for National Night Out. This year\u2019s event will be held on August 7th, and will be our 13th consecutive year of participation. Many of our geographic areas get actively involved by holding cookouts, block parties, open houses, and peace marches to name a few. I urge you to take this time to engage with the communities we serve and celebrate our partnership.\nPart of the Department\u2019s evaluation of critical incidents is the assessment of supervision and scene management \u2013 command and control.\nThe responsibility of exercising timely command and control at the scene of a critical incident such as a barricaded suspect, armed suspect, OIS or termination of pursuit \u2013 is applicable to all supervisory personnel, and can also apply to the primary or senior officers at the scene.\nAbsent unique or exigent circumstances, it is imperative that supervisors avoid becoming part of an incident so they can effectively exercise command and control of the scene.\nUnderstanding the time constraints inherent in a rapidly unfolding and dynamic tactical incident, the primary role of the supervisor is to quickly assess the incident and assume command and control as soon as possible. That supervisor\u2019s job is to ensure the safety of personnel; limit as much as possible, the risk to the public; and to coordinate effective tactics to address a threat or take the suspect(s) into custody as quickly and as safely as possible.\nYou can find additional useful information by reading the TacOps Newsletter which you can access on the Department\u2019s Local Area Network (LAN). Simply click the UOF Review Division link under the \u201cDivisions and Sections\u201d folder. Once on the UOF home page, click on TacOps Newsletter. I encourage you to be proactive and take advantage of this valuable resource.\nPolice Commissioner Andrea Sheridan Ordin\nLast month we welcomed back a familiar friend in Ms. Andrea Sheridan Ordin, as she was confirmed by the City Council to serve on the Board of Police Commissioners. Having previously served on the Board from 2005~2010, she adds her considerable experience and knowledge of the Department to the Commission and I look forward to working with her once again.\nHistory of Wilshire Area\nEstablished in 1922 as the Pico Street Division, Wilshire originally spanned from Culver City to the edge of downtown Los Angeles. Three years after opening, it moved to its longtime home at 4526 West Pico and took its name from Wilshire Boulevard. The divisional headquarters remained there until 1974, when the current station opened at 4861 West Venice Boulevard.\nThroughout the years, the division\u2019s boundaries have changed to encompass some of the City\u2019s wealthiest areas such as Hancock Park and the Miracle Mile. More than a quarter of a million people call its nearly 14-square-miles home, while another 250,000 work, visit and study inside its boundaries each day. It is home to CBS Studios, the Farmers Market, The Grove, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles High School, Museum Row and the famed La Brea Tar Pits.\nFallen Heroes of Wilshire Area\nPoliceman Thomas Scebbi\nEOW June 20, 1958\nPoliceman Robert Endler\nEOW February 1, 1964\nDetective Sergeant Charles P. Monaghan\nPoliceman Keith G. DuPuis\nEOW October 27, 1966\nPoliceman Fred Early\nEOW March 23, 1973\nPolice Officer David Kubly\nPoliceman Charles Rodgers\nEOW November 28, 1980\nPolice Officer Mario Navidad\nEOW December 22, 1996\nTwo high profile homicides that gained a great deal of media coverage include the 1984 murder of R&B singer Marvin Gaye and the 1997 unsolved murder of Rap Artist Notorious B.I.G.\nMore than a dozen Wilshire officers have earned the Medal of Valor in the past two decades, and recently three officers were awarded the Purple Heart.\nThis year\u2019s numbers show continued declines in almost all Part I categories compared to 2011. Robberies are down more than 10%, Aggravated Assaults down 7.3% and Homicides are holding steady at last year\u2019s rate with Rapes showing a slight increase. Total violent crime is down nearly 8.5%.\nWhile overall Property Crime is down 1% compared to last year, BTFV and Theft has increased more than 2%. Let\u2019s pay close attention to these areas so we can ensure that number doesn\u2019t continue to rise.\nIn gang related crime the numbers speak volumes. To date we are experiencing a 15% decrease. This is on top of last year\u2019s 13% decline. This is something you should be very proud of as the terrible toll that gang violence reeks on our communities is getting smaller every day.\nI know you hear me say this a lot but that\u2019s because I can\u2019t say it enough; I sincerely appreciate the great work you are all doing. The positive impact that your hard work and dedicated service has on our communities, and in people\u2019s lives, is truly immeasurable.\nChief of Police Message - July 2012\nAs the Chief of Police, it is important to me that officers are constantly utilizing safe tactics in all of their daily activities. As a general rule when officers are riding in their patrol cars, the windows should always be rolled down and officers should be consistently scanning their surroundings for inherent dangers. Unfortunately the influx of new technological equipment, such as smartphones, has made it much easier to become distracted than in years past. While I understand it is very tempting to check non-work related voicemails or return text messages from our loved ones, we must be diligent in maintaining officer safety and be aware of our surroundings in order to expect the unexpected and never be caught off guard. Moreover, as representatives of the finest police department in the nation, we are not above the law and LAPD officers should act accordingly.\nAlways remember, we can never predict when an event will occur on our shift that will forever change the course of our lives. It is much better to be prepared than to be caught off guard.\nGeneral Services Police\nRecently, the City approved the consolidation of the Office of Public Safety\u2019s General Services Police (GSP) into the LAPD. The GSP is currently responsible for the security at City Hall, the Convention Center, the Los Angeles Zoo, the Bureau of Sanitation, Recreation and Parks, and our City libraries. With 97 sworn officers and more than 100 civilian security personnel, these officers would be a sizable addition to our ranks.\nA Task Force has been put together to plan the consolidation and negotiations have begun with the appropriate unions, but the total consolidation may take up to 18 months. A new division, Security Services Division, will be tasked to manage many of the responsibilities, but the Areas will be delegated to respond to calls for service. I know we will provide the outstanding service we are known for to these new customers, and more importantly we will welcome with open arms the current GSP employees into the LAPD family.\nCivilian Layoffs\nBy now you are all aware of the City\u2019s financial troubles as we begin the new fiscal year. For the past couple of years we have had to endure the loss of personnel and resources while having to do more with less. However, it is our civilian employees who have had to endure the brunt of the City\u2019s financial woes.\nEarlier this year, we were faced with the possibility of laying off 159 of our filled civilian positions. These layoffs would have significantly impacted the entire Police Department and people we all know and have worked with; familiar faces and working relationships we have come to depend on. The Department never wanted layoffs and we did everything we possibly could to avoid them.\nIn May, the Budget and Finance Committee approved the 2012/13 budget with modifications that identified $16 million in savings and avoided layoffs which were scheduled to happen this month. The Committee approved $8 million for the first six months of the fiscal year to fund the positions, and set aside the second six months of funding for assessment and review of the City\u2019s economic status in January. The Mayor has signed the budget with the modifications, making it official.\nWhile this is only a temporary fix, it is a small battle won. Our civilian employees are some of our most valuable assets and I would hate to lose anyone. This development ensures our civilians slated for layoff will be with us through the rest of this year.\nI know it has been difficult for our civilians hearing the constant chatter about their jobs being in limbo, but I want to thank you for your continued patience and professionalism throughout this ordeal. Rest assured we value your work as a Department and I will continue to keep you updated on any and all developments going forward.\nHistory of Hollywood Area\nDue to its fame and cultural identity as the historical center of movie studios and movie stars, Hollywood represents glitz and glamour and the golden age of American cinema which makes it recognized worldwide.\nOriginally opened in 1913, Hollywood Area is situated west of downtown Los Angeles and is one of our most recognized areas. Serving a population of approximately 300,000, Hollywood Area encompasses the communities of Argyle, Cahuenga Pass, East Hollywood, Fairfax, Hobart, Hollywood, Hollywood Hills, Hollywood/La Brea, Little Armenia, Los Feliz, Melrose District, Mount Olympus, Sierra Vista, Spaulding Square, Sunset Strip, Thai Town, and Vine/Willoughby.\nHollywood Area is host to a number of special events including the Academy Awards and movie premieres, not to mention tourists from around the world. Hollywood Area has a staff of 409 employees and is located at 1358 North Wilcox Ave.\nFallen Heroes of Hollywood\nA number of brave and heroic officers have given their lives in the line of duty while assigned to Hollywood Area:\nClyde Pritchett, EOW February 17, 1936\nClay Hunt, EOW February 22, 1955\nIan J. Campbell, EOW March 10, 1963\nRobert J. Cote, EOW July 31, 1969\nRussell Lee Kuster, EOW October 9, 1990\nJoe Rios, EOW January 20, 1993\nCharles Dean Heim, EOW October 22, 1994\nOne of the most infamous line of duty deaths of a Hollywood officer was chronicled by Joseph Wambaugh, in his book, \u201cThe Onion Field.\u201d\nI hope you and your family enjoy the July 4th holiday. Always remember that the most important thing that we can do for our loved ones is to make it home safe at the end of our shift. Thanks for all you do each and every day.\nChief of Police Message - June 2012\nWith all that we have going on at work and in our personal lives, it seems as though the months fly by leaving us wondering where the time has gone. It\u2019s hard to believe that we are already six months into 2012. So, as we enter this half way point of the year I want to thank you for your continued dedication and sacrifices that you make for this Department and the citizens of Los Angeles, each and every day.\n2012 Safe Summer Tip-Off Event\nThis year\u2019s Safe Summer Tip-Off basketball game is scheduled to take place on Saturday, June 9th at the USC Galen Center. Already in its third year, this collaborative event features the game itself, static displays of police and fire equipment, celebrity appearances, gift giveaways and a free BBQ lunch. Having won the game in both prior years, I fully expect the Department to turn out a \u201cthree-peat\u201d victory as we face the Los Angeles City Fire Department in our annual battle of the badges basketball game. The basketball game is a lot of fun and a real showcase of the spirit of competition between the LAPD and the LAFD. I hope to see all of you there and please make sure to bring your friends and family to the event.\nSummer Night Lights Program\nThis month kicks off the fifth year of the City\u2019s \u201cSummer Night Lights Program.\u201d This extremely successful program involves 32 parks and gives youths, in some of our roughest neighborhoods, a safe haven where they can participate in a number of programs and activities during the summer months.\nWith your positive influence and generous participation, this year\u2019s \u201cSummer Night Lights Program\u201d is sure to be a repeat success.\nDuring the month of June we support our LAPD brothers and sisters who are proud members of the gay community. Their service within our sworn and civilian ranks makes our organization a more authentic reflection of the communities we serve. Our diversity remains one of our primary strengths and we must remember that we are all one Department. One family.\nThis also gives me the opportunity to remind you of our new Transgender policy, which should be familiar to everyone by now. The policy\u2019s essence is simple; Treat everyone with respect. Familiarize yourself with the policy and put it into practice. You can find a copy of the Notice on the Department\u2019s LAN Homepage and on our public website, LAPDOnline.org.\nHistory of Harbor Division\nLocated at the entrance of the Port of Los Angeles, Harbor Community Police Station encompasses 27 square miles of inland and coastal property which is patrolled by the LAPD. Harbor Division services Harbor City, Harbor Gateway, San Pedro, Vista del Oro, the Port of LA, Terminal Island, Rolling Hills Highlands and Wilmington. In 1928 Harbor Division was originally located across the street of the Beacon Street City Hall complex, in San Pedro, California.\nIn the late 1950\u2019s plans were made to build a more modern police facility which was erected on Gibson street. In 1962, the station was completed and began providing service to the nearly 162,273 Harbor residents. The new Harbor Station opened in April 2009, the same year Harbor Area celebrated its 100th Year Anniversary. The 50,000-square foot Harbor Division Police Station and jail is located at John S. Gibson Boulevard which is at the site of the old Harbor Division headquarters. Some of the many features of this new modern facility are a helipad, a 400-space parking structure, and a 16,000-square-foot jail which can hold up to 300 inmates.\nNotable Harbor Alumni\nOn February 25, 2012, Harbor Division Senior Lead Officer Joe Buscaino was sworn in as a Los Angeles City Councilman for District 15. A sixteen year veteran of the Department and a lifelong resident of Council District 15, Councilman Buscaino joined a small group of other LAPD officers who have gone on to become political leaders in the City of Los Angeles.\nLet us never forget Harbor personnel who gave the ultimate sacrifice while serving the citizen of Los Angeles\u2026..\nPoliceman Herbert Klade EOW: 02/08/1926\nPoliceman John V. Wicks EOW: 03/23/1927\nPoliceman Alfred C. Madon EOW: 06/16/1935\nPoliceman Glenn H. Clark EOW: 07/08/1950\nPoliceman John E. Dunphy EOW: 06/22/1954\nPoliceman Robert Sweet EOW: 12/26/1956\nPolice Officer Robert Mata EOW: 09/19/2000\nBy now you have all heard the news of the City\u2019s latest financial woes related to the budget for Fiscal Year 2012/2013. There are many tough decisions being made that will deeply impact our civilian brothers and sisters. The City\u2019s financial situation has not improved, as you well know, and there will be concessions that must be made as we enter the next fiscal year.\nAs I write this message in May, it is important that you are aware that the information coming from City Hall is all very fluid and seems to change from day to day. What I can tell you, with certainty, is that I will always be truthful with you. Unfortunately at times the truth is not pretty but at the very least you will have the most current and up to date information, via the Department\u2019s LAN Homepage, on matters that affect you and your job.\nAs you all know we work in a profession where we put our lives on the line on a near daily basis. Although crime is at historic lows, attacks on police officers have increased at an alarming rate. As part of overall employee wellness, I want to remind you to please make sure that your \u201chouse\" is in order at all levels. I\u2019m referring to matters involving living trusts, wills, health directives, beneficiary information, disability and health insurance.\nSome of these are simple decisions to make, while others involve more thought provoking and difficult discussions with family members and professionals. In my thirty five years on the job, it has been my experience that random tragic life events, injuries and catastrophic illnesses can happen to anyone at any time. I can assure you that taking care of business now will help make the grief and recovery process a little easier on your loved ones.\nIf you are unfamiliar with where to start, the Department has several resources to assist in navigating these types of matters. If you need assistance with links to resources, please contact the Department\u2019s Wellness Coordinators, Sergeant Mary Kite, at 213-944-6819 or Sergeant Whit Pauly, at 213-925-0963.\nMy appreciation to all of the officers who worked last month\u2019s May Day events. For the most part the demonstrations were orderly and the demonstrators were able to exercise their right to free speech in a peaceful and respectful manner. Unfortunately, the day\u2019s events were marred by a few cowards who came to the downtown area with the sole purpose of starting trouble and assaulting LAPD officers. During a confrontation at 4th Street and Hill Street, one officer was injured and sent to the hospital and several other officers were assaulted during two unprovoked attacks. Luckily, we were able to identify and arrest the suspect from one of the attacks and are working diligently to identify and arrest the outstanding suspects.\nAssaults on our officers will not be tolerated and I assure you that I will do everything in my power to locate these suspects and bring them to justice. I thank you for always being the true professionals that you are and for showing tremendous restraint during these types of situations.\nRemember to always keep the tactical edge; stay alert and aware of your surroundings and always watch each other\u2019s backs.\nChief of Police Message - May 2012\nPolice Memorial Month\nThe month of May is recognized as Police Memorial Month. During this period, we take the time to honor those who\u2019ve made the ultimate sacrifice to our profession and those who we\u2019ve lost while serving in the Military.\nTo date, 204 Los Angeles Police Department officers have died in the line of duty; 53 have passed during my time as a police officer. Many of those who have passed are friends, all of them are family. It is important that we honor them through our remembrance.\nPolice officers are asked to do extraordinary things. Police officers are asked to risk their lives for those that they don\u2019t know, and for their law enforcement brothers and sisters. That risk is only worthwhile if we honor them. Take time to visit the Los Angeles Police Department\u2019s Memorial To Fallen Officers, and recognize those who have given so much for so many.\nOn Thursday, May 3rd, we will host our annual Police Memorial Ceremony at the Ronald F. Deaton Auditorium at the Police Administration Building. This event will feature a reading of the names of the fallen officers, as an airship performs a fly over. Many of the family members of those who have been killed in the line of duty are scheduled to attend. This is an excellent opportunity for those of us who have survived to show our recognition for these fallen heroes. It is only through honoring them that their sacrifices are repaid.\nDuring the month of May, let us show our support and pay homage for those who have died in the line of duty by wearing the mourning band on your badge. Please do so with pride and in tribute to our fallen comrades.\nFor the first time ever, the Medal of Valor and the Purple Heart Ceremonies will be combined at this year\u2019s Above & Beyond, Medal of Valor and Purple Heart Ceremony. The event is scheduled for May 10th, at the Grand Ballroom of the Hollywood and Highland Center. This is a great event that honors our heroes; those who have sacrificed so much, who have performed so brilliantly and have made our profession proud. This year\u2019s 15 recipients will etch their names in the history books alongside those who have displayed courage and embodied the heroism of the Los Angeles Police Department.\nThis year\u2019s United States Police and Fire Championships will take place June 16th \u2013 24th, in San Diego, California. Approximately 10,000 police and firefighters will attend and participate in everything from badminton to bowling, motocross to softball, and basketball. This is a great way to show your pride in the Los Angeles Police Department, and pride in your own athletic accomplishments. I look forward to seeing many of you at the various sporting venues.\nHistory of Hollenbeck\nIn 1927, Hollenbeck Station was named in honor of Mr. John Edward Hollenbeck and family. Mr. Hollenbeck was an influential businessman who purchased approximately 6,700 acres of land on the east side of the Los Angeles River and established a variety of businesses in the area. Hollenbeck Park, located on the corner of Saint Louis and Fourth Street, was erected from land donated to the City by Mr. Hollenbeck.\nHollenbeck\u2019s Fallen Heroes\nPolice Officer Steven Gajda, Serial No. 27686, was shot when he stopped to investigate a loud party on December 31, 1997. Officer Gajda died from his injuries on January 1, 1998.\nPolice Officer Jerry Maddox, Serial No. 14317, was shot and killed when he stopped to investigate a loud party on August 19, 1969.\nSignificant Hollenbeck Events\n-Joseph Wambaugh, author of the The New Centurions and the Onion Field, retired from Hollenbeck Station.\n-Kathleen Soliah (A.K.A. Sarah Jane Olson) placed a pipe bomb under a Hollenbeck detective\u2019s vehicle in August 1975. The device did not detonate.\n-Officers assigned to the Hollenbeck Station arrested Richard Ramirez, the infamous \u201cNight Stalker\u201d in 1985.\n-On October 16, 2010, to honor Rudy de Leon, the first Mexican American and Latino to hold the position of Captain at Hollenbeck, the station was retitled the \u201cRudy de Leon / Hollenbeck Community Police Station.\u201d\nThe things I speak of today; The Medal of Valor and Purple Heart, deaths in the line of duty, all these things transcend the financial burdens that are set upon us by the city\u2019s economic issues. It\u2019s been a tough couple of years, with the financial picture not looking any better in the coming year. As a result of these hurdles, the city will continue its struggle to meet the goals of public safety; but I have absolute faith in the men and women of the LAPD.\nWhat I ask of you is simple; at the start of each shift always remember to do the right thing. Whether it\u2019s in your private or professional life, always make the best decision based on your training and experience, your morals and your heart.\nChief\u2019s Message-April 2012\nIn the business of law enforcement, success and failure often hinge on the commitment of the organization to its goals, the employees which serve, and the collaborative efforts within the community. As a Department we could not achieve our successes without the help from our community and the dedicated service of our sworn and civilian employees. There is one unique way, however, in which community and police work come together and have a tremendous impact on the lives that we protect and the community that we serve. I\u2019m referring to our Reserve Officers.\nSince their early days during World War II, Reserve Officers have been woven into the fabric of our Department as they serve alongside our officers, with pride and distinction. Reserve Officers volunteer their time while performing many of the same duties and taking many of the same risks as you. With a volunteer force of more than 700 officers, their commitment and service to the community is a valuable asset in our efforts to combat crime.\nWith April being Reserve Officer Appreciation Month, let us take the time to thank our Reserves for their service to our Department and our communities. The selfless acts they perform everyday are consistent with the proud traditions of our organization. I ask that you join me in thanking our Reserve Officers for a job well done.\n20 Year Anniversary of the LA Riots\nTwenty years ago this month the eyes of the world were on Los Angeles as civil unrest engulfed our great City. Images of buildings burning, stores being looted, and innocent civilians being attacked by fellow Angelinos are permanently embedded in our minds. It was a dark moment in the history of our Department and our City.\nThrough that darkness however, we emerged a stronger and much more capable Department. We are now much better prepared to deal with situations, like civil unrest, through specific training which wasn\u2019t available back then.\nPerhaps most importantly, our relationship with the community is much better and stronger than it was back in 1992. Your efforts to engage with the communities we serve and foster a relationship of trust and collaboration have taken us to unprecedented heights. Those of you who were on the job back then can also attest to the cultural changes which have improved our Department in many ways.\nSo as history goes, we must always remember our past but keep our eye to the future. Keep strong our relationships with the communities we serve and continue to foster goodwill through our everyday efforts to protect and to serve.\nHistory of Southwest Area\nThe Southwest Area of the Los Angeles Police Department was originally known as University Division. The original location was near Jefferson Boulevard and Menlo Avenue which is now part of the University of Southern California campus. At that time, University Division was at the southern edge of the City. Everything south of the divisional borders was open pasture and grassland. University Division was first established in 1905 and its station in 1909.\nDuring the 1970\u2019s, University Division was renamed to Southwest Area and is approximately 13 square miles. It is a culturally diverse community with a population over 165,000 people. The area includes the communities of Baldwin Village, Baldwin Vista, Crenshaw Community, Jefferson Park, Leimert Park, Crenshaw District, West Adams Community, and University Park.\nSouthwest Area is also home to some of the greatest landmarks in the City of Los Angeles, such as; the LA Memorial Coliseum, Sports Arena, University of Southern California, Exposition Park, Mount Saint Mary\u2019s College, Shrine Auditorium, West Angeles Church, First AME Church, and the Galen Center. Southwest Area has been instrumental in hosting high profile events, such as the Olympics, entertainment award shows, political events, and sport events. Southwest Area is also the proud host of the Annual Kingdom Day Parade, which celebrates the life and achievements of Doctor Martin Luther King Jr.\nFallen Heroes of Southwest Division\nFourteen Southwest Area officers have sacrificed their lives in the line of duty. This is the highest number of officers killed in a single division in the Los Angeles Police Department. Their selfless acts protecting the people of our City cannot be overstated and their loss will live on live on in our Department\u2019s history forever.\nSignificant Events in Southwest Area\nJanuary 15, 1947 \u2013 Elizabeth Short (Black Dahlia) was found mutilated. Her body sliced in half at the waist. She was found in the Leimert Park Area. The Black Dahlia unsolved murder has been the source of widespread speculation, leading to many suspects, along with several books and film adaptations of the story.\nDecember 14, 1963 \u2013 The Baldwin Hills Reservoir was a water storage basin located on a low hilltop in Baldwin Hills. The water storage was built directly on an active fault line and underlying geologic strata that was considered unstable for a reservoir. In three hours the dam breached, releasing approximately 250 million gallons of water onto the surrounding neighborhood. In the process, 277 homes were destroyed and 5 lives were lost. The rescue efforts averted a greater loss of life. The reservoir is now part of the Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area.\nJuly 28, 1984, Southwest Area held the opening ceremonies of the Games of the XXIII Olympiad at the LA Memorial Coliseum.\nThe 28th Annual Baker to Vegas Challenge Cup Relay is set to take place April 21-22. Many of you have been training for months as you and your teammates prepare for the grueling race through the desert. The miles you\u2019ve run and the time invested have prepared you for this celebrated multi-agency law enforcement competition.\nKeeping true to the spirit of competition, represent your Department proudly and give it your best. But most of all have fun. The time spent with your colleagues builds relationships and memories that will last a lifetime.\nI also want to give a special \u201cthank you\u201d to the many organizers and members of the support teams who help out during the race. It is not easy making that slow-speed drive through the middle of nowhere and throughout the night. It is because of your unwavering commitment to teamwork and competition, that this extraordinary event can happen and for that reason all of the participants in the run are truly grateful.\nBest wishes for a safe and successful race and I look forward to seeing you there and hearing of your triumphs upon your return.\nIn closing, be safe and always take care of yourself and each other.\nChief\u2019s Message March 2012\nIn December 2011, the Managed Hiring Committee approved our repeated requests to grant some long overdue promotions and upgrades. Since then we have advertised 85 sworn upgrades, nine Detective IIIs and 76 Police Officer IIIs. Additionally, we have promoted 11 Lieutenants and 24 Sergeants. For Civilians we have hired a Police Administrator I to be the Risk Manager for the Department, promoted three Personnel Analyst I\u2019s and upgraded one Criminalist II.\nRest assured I will do everything I can to secure the future of our Department by continuing to work for the promotions you deserve.\nHeroic Actions\nI know that many of you are involved in commendable acts everyday but I wanted to acknowledge two that have occurred recently:\nOn January 15, 2012, Rampart Division Officers Seree Rattanapichetkul and Anthony Farias were on duty in the area of 12th Street and Westlake Avenue when they noticed a plume of smoke. The officers drove north on Westlake Avenue where they immediately observed heavy smoke coming from the top floor of a two-story house.\nThe officers arrived at the location and were met by Captain Rigo Romero\u2019s sister on the front patio. She told the officer\u2019s that her 89-year old mother was still inside the house. Without hesitation Officers Rattanapichetkul and Farias raced inside the home and, through the burning smoke, located Ms. Romero and brought her to safety.\nOn January 7, 2012, at change of watch an on duty Southwest Patrol Sergeant collapsed in the parking lot area of Southwest station. Officers Adolfo Vazquez and Miguel Lopez-Munoz put out a help call, requested an RA and began life saving efforts on the supervisor. Sergeant Brian Bixler, retired Sergeant Bill Smith and Detective Joe Chavez ran out from inside the station and assisted with the CPR. Officer John Knighton and Officer Luis Barrera retrieved the portable defibrillator from the station and used it on the sergeant. Paramedics arrived shortly thereafter and transported the sergeant to the hospital. There is no doubt in my mind that the sergeant is alive today thanks to the lifesaving efforts of these officers.\nThese are examples of the tremendous impact that you have on the lives of the people we serve and work with each and every day. Thank you for a job well done.\nThe 28th Annual Baker to Vegas Challenge Cup Relay is set to take place April 21-22. This year our Department will have 35 teams competing including our Women\u2019s Team and our Department Open Team. Those of you participating in this year\u2019s race have been training for some time now. Many hours and many miles have gone into it so far and many more will be had.\nFor some of you this will be your first time competing. For others this will be yet another year making that grueling trek through the desert. Whatever your reason for competing, your drive, determination and commitment to maintaining your personal wellness is to be commended.\nEmployee wellness has been one of my Department-wide goals since becoming your Chief. Personal fitness is part of an overall healthy lifestyle. For those of you who are not competing in this year\u2019s Baker to Vegas relay or those of you who just don\u2019t like running, it is never too late to start an exercise regimen. Whether its utilizing fitness centers located at your facility or just taking a walk with some colleagues, take the time to take care of yourself.\nHistory of Rampart Area\nFrom serving as the model police station for the opening scene of the television show Adam-12, to being the first LAPD area to effectively utilize cameras as a crime fighting tool in a seriously crime-ridden area, Rampart has a storied and historic significance. Rampart Area also holds a special significance to me. Thirty-five years ago this month I was sitting in the roll-call room as a brand new P-I, eager to begin the career that had always been in my bloodline.\nThe Area first opened in 1966 as a brand new station to accommodate the growing population in the City. In July 2008, the old station at 2710 West Temple Street was replaced with a brand new, \u201cgreen,\u201d state of the art station at 1401 West 6th Street (the previous location of Central Receiving Hospital). Rampart Area underwent further transition in January 2009 when two new stations opened up reducing the Area from 6.5 square miles to 5.5 square miles.\nFallen Heroes of Rampart Area\nOn August 18, 1970, Policeman Michael W. Parker was the passenger officer in the secondary vehicle involved in a pursuit of a possible stolen motorcycle. As the driver of the secondary unit tried to overtake the primary unit, the driver lost control and crashed into a large palm tree. Officer Parker was ejected from the vehicle and passed away from his injuries at the scene. A photo of Officer Parker is posted at the front desk lobby area of the station as a memorial of the lone Rampart officer lost in the line of duty.\nLet\u2019s keep moving ahead putting forth the effort to support one another, and continuing to maintain the highest level of professionalism in any situation we encounter. Always recognize that at the end of your shift you go home knowing you made a huge contribution to the people of the communities who depend on us each day. As always, be safe.\nChief\u2019s Message February 2012\nAs a world-class law enforcement agency, ensuring public safety is the mandate of the Los Angeles Police Department. A review of the 2011 End of Year crime statistics reveals, once again, that your hard work and dedicated service to the citizens of Los Angeles is paying off.\nCrime in all of the major Part One categories, with the exception of homicides, was down for the ninth straight year. While year-to-date homicides increased by one, the overall homicide rate remains at levels that we have not seen since 1967. This is a remarkable accomplishment.\nParticularly impressive are the gang-related statistics. Gang-related crimes account for a large portion of the City\u2019s total crime; this is why the 15.2% drop in criminal gang activity is a particularly impressive accomplishment.\nPerhaps the most telling figure to come out of the final crime statistics for 2011 is that there were 6,447 fewer victims of crime, compared to last year. But these are not just statistics, these are the many lives that were spared the agony and sense of violation that comes with being the victim of a crime. This is why our job is so important and the reason why we chose a career with the\nAs crimes rates continue to fall and the quality of life for the people of Los Angeles continues to improve, it is clear that our way of doing business is effective. You should be as proud of your achievements, as I am of you.\nDuring the morning hours of December 9, 2011, a deranged gunman, with total disregard for human life, including his own, began terrorizing people in one of our most recognizable neighborhoods. Armed with a handgun, the suspect began shooting at random, striking three innocent bystanders and killing one.\nWorking nearby on a plain clothes detail, Detective I Craig Marquez and his partner,\nDetective I Travonne Dixon, rushed to the scene of the active shooter. Police Officer II\nKevin Cotter, who was working at a near-by off-duty movie detail, also heard the shots and quickly responded to the suspect\u2019s location; it was immediately evident that the suspect had no intention of surrendering. Detective Marquez and Officer Cotter engaged the suspect and ended the threat to the public.\nWhile the gunman\u2019s senseless act of violence tragically claimed the life of an innocent victim, the heroic actions of our officers prevented what surely would have been the devastating loss of additional lives.\nWhen you took the oath to become a Los Angeles Police Officer, you understood the scope of your commitment to protect the safety of our citizens \u2013 regardless of time, location or circumstance. Detective Marquez, Detective Dixon and Officer Cotter, reacted with split-second resolve, precision, and courage thus fulfilling their duty in the highest traditions of the\nHistory of Central Area\nBeginning this month, I will highlight one of our 21 Areas and some of their significant incidents and accomplishments. For February we focused on Central Area.\nCentral has a long history of being at the center of events impacting our City and our Nation. The division first opened in 1869 and was originally located in the old City Hall building on Broadway in between Second and Third Street. In 1896, with the rapid growth of Los Angeles, it moved to a larger facility on First Street where it remained for 60 years. Today, Central Area is located on Sixth Street and serves an area of four and a half square miles and 40,000 people. Central Area is under the command of Captain Horace Frank and has a staff of 440 sworn and civilian employees.\nFallen Heroes of Central Area\nOn December 19, 1984, Officer Duane Johnson was shot and killed by a robbery suspect in Chinatown. Officer Johnson and his partner responded to a radio call of a jewelry store robbery and were, unbeknownst to the officers, let into the location by one of the suspects, who was posing as a store employee. A shootout ensued and Officer Johnson was mortally wounded.\nOn December 12, 1988, Officer Manuel Gutierrez, Officer David Hofmeyer, and Officer Derrick Connor were killed in a traffic collision while responding to a back-up call at 6th and Wall.\nThese are just two examples of Central Area officers making the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. Their loss leaves a permanent void for our Department and the entire law enforcement community.\nSignificant Events in Central Area\nOJ Simpson Murder Trial \u2013 January thru October 1995\nDemocratic National Convention @ Staples Center \u2013 August 2000\nImmigration March in Downtown L.A. \u2013 March 2006\nMichael Jackson Memorial Service @ Staples Center \u2013 July 2009\nNBA All-Star Game \u2013 February 2004 and 2010\nRecently, Central Area personnel worked tirelessly with the Occupy LA movement as the protesters exercised their right to free of speech. Months of negotiation and respect for the first amendment rights of all participants resulted in a non-confrontational and symbiotic relationship that garnered respect from all involved.

        "raw_content": "Sometimes Bad News is Better than No News\nAbout two weeks ago, I woke up, checked my emails and learned the phones went down at the hotel sometime during the night. Nobody could call in or out. I immediately went in. Our night audit team had called our telecommunications company and they reported the problem was not on their end. That meant it must be our phone system. I called them and in less than an hour a technician was at the hotel. Long story short \u2026 the problem was with our telecommunications provider, not the phone system. There were large scale outages being reported and equipment was being replaced. About five hours later, the phones came back on line.\nTwo nights ago work called just after 1:00 am. The internet was down at the hotel, again a disruption to business. Not as severe as if it had happened in the middle of the day, but never-the-less, something that needed to be looked into. Once again, the staff working the desk had called our telecommunications provider and been told the problem was not on their end. So I got up and went in to work. I called the 24 hour service line for our telecommunications company thinking \u2026 \u201cthey were wrong last time, maybe they are again\u201d. After waiting for quite a while for my turn to talk to someone, I went through the drill, sharing our account number, business address and description of the problem. I was also told that all systems at the hotel showed green on their end; therefore the problem was on our end. At which point, I very nicely shared with them the story about the phone incident in which we were told the problem was on our end when in fact it was theirs and asked if there was any way they could dig deeper. Less than two minutes later, I received an apology and was advised that yes, in fact the problem was on their end. Outages were being experienced, equipment was being replaced and all should be back up and running within the next five to six hours. It was back up again in less than two hours.\nWhy am I sharing this story with you? Because it\u2019s such a great example of how to frustrate customers! When the phone system was down, I would periodically check the companies website to see if any status updates were being provided to customers. Nothing. The only reference to the outages I found on-line were by frustrated, angry customers, with part of the frustration attributed to not having any information and being stuck waiting to talk to someone at a call centre only to be told \u2026nothing.\nWhich brings me to the call / service centre. Is the service team trained to look beyond the quick and perhaps usual reason for the problem? In scenario two, I asked the person to dig deeper, he did and in no time at all, recognized his first response was incorrect. If I had accepted his first response, additional calls and needless searching for the source of the problem would have resulted in wasted time and even more frustration.\nBeyond the training question, I have to wonder why the outages were not reported to the service centre. While knowing when and how to dig deeper for an answer to a customer problem is important, wouldn\u2019t it be better to give them a heads up so that when a frustrated customer called, they would be able to immediately respond with accurate information?\nOf course, it\u2019s not just telecommunications companies that fall down when it comes to managing bad news or frustrated customers. When something goes wrong, when customers are going to experience service disruptions, say so. Be upfront, acknowledge the frustration, apologize for the inconvenience and share information on when they can expect service to be restored. If you can, and this doesn\u2019t apply to all businesses, let your customers know of alternative places to get the service they need in the interim.\nShare all of that same information with the people who are responsible for responding to reports and questions from customers.\nOutages happen. Stuff happens. Whatever the disruption is, understand that your customer is inconvenienced. It may or may not be because of an error on your end. It doesn\u2019t matter whose fault it is. Whatever the reason, know what information your customer needs and be prepared to share it. Acknowledge their frustration, keep them informed and if possible, provide alternative solutions.\nIn many cases, how you manage the service disruption has a bigger impact on a customer\u2019s continued loyalty than the disruption itself.\nPosted in Customer Service Strategy, Stress Management\t| Tagged accountability, brand reputation, conflict management, creating loyal customers, delivering bad news to customers\t| Leave a reply",

        "title": "Had a Truck Accident - Our Investigating Technique \u2013 Maintenance Records",
        "raw_content": "San Antonio Personal Injury Lawyers \u00bb Investigating Technique \u2013 Maintenance Records\nObtaining Maintenance Records After an 18-Wheeler Accident can be Crucial to Proving Negligence by the Trucking Company\nThe Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and the Department of Transportation require that trucking companies maintain certain records in its day to day business operations. These records include pre-employment screening records for its drivers and maintenance records of its fleet of trucks. Both the pre-employment and maintenance records can provide great insight when they are examined in light of an accident. These records can aid in establishing proof of the trucking company\u2019s liability by demonstrating the company\u2019s compliance or lack thereof, with federal guidelines regarding its drivers and its fleet of trucks.\nAfter you have been injured in an accident with a commercial trucking vehicle it is very important to gather evidence as soon as possible. The trucking companies know how important their internal business documents are in proving an accident claim and they will do everything they can to prevent you from obtaining this evidence. That is why it is so important to have an experienced attorney on your side such as the ones here at our Law Offices. Contacting us can aid you in this task because we know how to find the evidence necessary to help prove your claim against the trucking company and its driver if necessary.\nMaintenance Records \u2013 What Do We Look For?\nMany times in commercial trucking accidents the accident is not only caused by driver error but can also be cause by faulty parts on the commercial truck itself. Poorly maintained brakes and other mechanical parts can lead directly to an accident when they fail to perform in the proper manner.\nFederal law requires that commercial trucking companies systematically inspect, repair, and maintain, all of the motor vehicles within their fleets. Further, trucking companies are required to have their fleets in safe and proper operating order and covers parts such as steering mechanisms, brake systems, the vehicle frame, attachment parts and other related parts of the truck. Additionally, trucking companies are required to keep records of the maintenance and repair their fleet of trucks has gone through and must retain these records for a certain length of time. The records must be retained for a year from the date of the maintenance or repair performed on the truck and for six months after a truck is sold.\nThe trucking companies must also have its drivers keep records of the mechanical issues of the trucks they drive on a daily basis. As part of the driver\u2019s log the driver must go through a check list and make note of any issues involving the mechanics of the truck. The check list includes issues concerning braking, steering, or attachment part issues, any issues they had to report to the trucking company during their route, and any other issues that could result in mechanical breakdown or impact the safety of the vehicle. These mechanical logs by the drivers must be retained along with the other maintenance reports.\nThe maintenance records of the truck that was being driven in your accident can be an important part of the evidence that must be gathered to help prove your claim. For example, if at the scene of the accident the driver of the commercial truck that hit you is heard telling a witness that his brakes gave out and he could not stop in time to avoid hitting you, obtaining the maintenance records of the truck is important. If the truck\u2019s brakes did in fact fail, the maintenance records could reveal that the trucking company did not inspect, maintain, or repair the brakes in the proper manner. In the alternative, the maintenance records can reveal that the trucking company did everything it was supposed to do in maintaining the brakes but they failed in anyway. In an instance like this the maintenance records will be important because they can help bolster a claim you may have against the manufacturer of the brakes because they were defective and failed despite the proper care and maintenance performed by the trucking company.\nThis is why maintenance records are so important. On one hand, they are a powerful tool against the trucking company when you must demonstrate the maintenance or lack thereof, on their vehicle is directly related to the cause of your injury. On the other hand the maintenance records can be helpful if we need to expand your claim and go after the manufacturer of the part in question because it was defective or if we need to go after the company responsible for the repair of the part because they failed to repair it properly. The maintenance records are the paper trail that can lead straight to success in your injury claim against the commercial trucking company. Do not underestimate their importance.\nEven though the trucking companies are required by federal law to inspect and maintain their fleet and retain the records of these activities, they often do not. Sometimes if they do have these records and after an accident it is discovered that the records could prove their liability or produce a negative outcome for them, they will alter or destroy the records making it more difficult for you to prove your case. At this point in order to help to ensure that the trucking company does not alter or destroy their maintenance records, sending spoliation correspondence is critical. Spoliation correspondence is a notice that instructs the trucking company on its duty to maintain its records and advises them on the records that your attorney will need to have them produce for review. This is why it is so important to have someone one your side like one of our attorneys from our Law Offices. We know what evidence to gather and what legal notices that can be filed to prevent the trucking company from destroying the evidence needed in your case. We know the trucking companies are not above this unfair and illegal behavior, so you need an experienced attorney on your side that knows how to strike back when this happens.\nPoor Maintenance \u2013 More Prevalent Than We Think\nAs discussed above, commercial trucking companies are required by federal and state law to maintain, inspect, and repair their fleet of vehicles and to keep records of these activities. However, it is clear that the trucking companies are not following this mandate. In a recent inspection conducted by Denton County Texas law enforcement agencies over a two day period, only four out of sixty commercial trucks were deemed to be completely safe and worthy for the road. The inspectors uncovered everything from simple paper work errors to major mechanical issues on these trucks. Some had bad hitching systems and poorly contained cargo and were forced to stay of the roads until these issues were fixed. This was just a sampling of the thousands of commercial trucks motorists share the roads with us in San Antonio on any given day. Even though this was a relatively small sample it is clear that the commercial trucking companies are not keeping up with the maintenance on their vehicles.\nIf one of the trucks that failed the recent inspection by the Denton law enforcement agencies was in an accident, our attorneys would request the maintenance records from the truck\u2019s owners. It stands to reason that if the truck failed a random inspection it probably was not being maintained properly and the maintenance records the trucking company has a duty to maintain could reveal that. Further if the trucking company\u2019s records show that the truck was properly maintained then the argument could be made that the trucking company has attempted to falsify those records. Logically speaking, if a truck is being properly maintained there is no reason it should not pass a random inspection by a state agency.\nIn either case our lawyers at our Law Offices know how to get the evidence needed to help your claim. When you take on the commercial trucking companies and their attorneys alone you put yourself at a disadvantage. The trucking company and their lawyers are very experienced in dealing with claims like yours and they know how to manipulate and bully victims into accepting considerably less than their claim is worth or not paying them at all. They have been known to alter and destroy maintenance records, refuse to cooperate with discovery requests or even deny the existence of certain types of evidence. If you do not have a lot of experience dealing with these matters the help of a professional is advisable. Our lawyers know how the trucking companies and their lawyers will try to circumvent the law and stop your claim from being successful. We have spent over twenty years litigating these claims and we know how to be successful for our clients.\nTexas Truck Accident Statistics",

        "raw_content": "Roth IRA and Traditional 401(k) Differences \u2013 Which Is Better?\nBy Dominique Brown\nFor many of us, retirement can often seem like something too far off in the future. However, as we approach retirement age, and as we are exposed with news of economic instability, we often wonder what is in store for us during retirement. Because of this, a question we often ask ourselves is: Where is the best place to invest to get the most for our retirement?\nAlthough there are other choices available, the most popular are the traditional 401(k) and the Roth IRA.\nThe traditional 401(k) is one of the oldest retirement plans available, which was introduced by the American Congress in the year 1978. Here, the employee is expected to give a contribution \u2014 from earnings that are pre-taxed (gross income) \u2014 that goes into their retirement plan, sometimes called deferred funds. These funds are then separately deposited by the employer into a different or special savings account which can be allocated in a variety of investment options up until the time employees are qualified to receive or collect their retirement money.\nOn the other hand, the Roth IRA, which was brought to formality only recently in 1998, is a retirement plan classification wherein an individual can set aside post-tax (net) income up to a specified or limited amount per year.\nFor the Roth IRA in 2015, single individuals may currently contribute up to $5,000 each year, and $6,000 for ages 50 and older. While married couples who are filing jointly may contribute up to $5,500, or $6,500 for ages 50 and older. Keep in mind Roth IRA are individual retirement accounts. So, even though a couple is married they will have separate Roth IRAs.\nFor traditional 401(k) plans in 2015, contributors under 50 can contribute up to $18,000 each year, while a contribution of up to $24,000 can be made for those above 50 years old. The difference between the contribution amounts between the two requirement accounts is rather large.\nWhen someone contributes to their Roth IRA they are 100 percent vested. In other words, the person owns 100 percent of the money within the account. 401(k) vesting requirements are vastly different from the Roth IRA. Contributions to a 401(k) plan consist of employee deferrals and, if applicable, employer matching contributions. Like the Roth IRA, any contributions made by the individual (also known as deferred contributions) and the earnings on those contributions are always 100 percent vested. But, the employer matching contributions and the earnings on the employer contributions must vest under a schedule. The 401(k) vesting schedule must be at least as generous as the two- to six-year graduated or three-year cliff schedules.\nThe Roth IRA provides better control and management to your account compared to the traditional 401(k). Although both have a wide range of investment options, the Roth IRA allows you to choose the investment house you want to utilize; for the traditional 401(k), you will be locked in to your company\u2019s management options. For the traditional 401(k), the default choice could oftentimes mean a poor choice. However, if the management option in your company is relatively good, then this shouldn\u2019t be a problem. One other thing to note is that most 401(k) plans currently do not have ETFs as an investment option. There are some benefits to using ETFs over mutual funds.\nTaxes remain one of the biggest differences between the traditional 401k and the Roth IRA. In a traditional 401(k), contributions lower your federal income taxes. For example, if you were to earn $50,000 per year and contributed $2,000, you only have to pay income tax for $48,000. Once you reach the age of 59.5, you may opt to withdraw your funds however you will be asked to pay taxes on any money that is withdrawn. Also, since the government wants you to pay income tax at some point, you are required to take minimum distributions from your 401(k) starting at age 70.5.\nFor the Roth IRA, for the same $2,000 contribution, you pay the taxes upfront, instead of when you withdrawal funds. Remember, contributions to a Roth IRA are made with net income (post tax). However, since you pay taxes up front the government does not require any minimum distributions.\nAnother thing to keep in mind is that although the 401(k) employee contributions are not subject to income tax until they are distributed, employee and employer contributions are immediately subject to payroll taxes.\nThere are advantages and disadvantages when it comes to choosing between a Roth IRA and traditional 401(k). For example, it makes sense to choose the traditional 401(k) when your employer offers a matching contribution because a 401(k) match is a 100 percent return on investment. Always take advantage of FREE MONEY! Seriously, what other investment do you know that guarantees a 100 percent return?\nEven if you don\u2019t know what to invest in, most 401(k)s offer a cash account. Invest your funds into the cash account to take advantage of your employer matching contributions until you figure out your investment objectives. But, should you feel that taxes will be higher when it\u2019s time to withdraw your funds, then a Roth IRA may make more sense.\nRemember, there are plenty of reputable companies that can help you with your 401k retirement planning and related services.\nDespite what any financial guru says, choosing between the two plans remains highly situational (unless you get a 401k match), so be sure to take into account your particular circumstances and only factual information when weighing your choice. After all, it is ultimately your money and your retirement that\u2019s on the line.\nAbout the Author: Dominique Brown is owner and author of Your Finances Simplified. He was born and raised in west Philadelphia and is now a financial adviser, IT contractor, landlord, and treasurer of a non-profit.\nThe 4 Best Alternatives to Traditional Banking\nQuickBooks or Xero: Which Online Accounting Software Is Better?\nComparing a 2008 Camry to a New One: Which Car Is the Better Deal?\nThere are some diversification advantages to owning both Traditional and Roth IRAs. None of us know our own futures let alone tax policy, etc. Having both IRA\u2019s allows some flexibility in future withdrawals.\nThe correct answer generally is own both types of accounts if you meet the income criteria.\nEarning interest on all that pretax 401k money is a big deal, especially once you\u2019re into retirement. This is often overlooked and a huge advantage to the 401k.\nUse a personal Roth account to fill in holes left by the 401k plan administrator. 401\u2019s are notorious for having horrible choices on the more volatile but higher average return investments. If you need some small cap, short term bonds, want to do a little tilting or if your company has an index fund with completely overblown costs, put it here.\nDon\u2019t forget that your Roth investment (just the principle) can be withdrawn at any time penalty free. If you incur a catastrophic financial burden, having this kind of money available is nothing to sneeze at.\nWe\u2019re probably stuck with 3-5% returns for the foreseeable future, and don\u2019t be surprised when the social security bills aren\u2019t getting paid and the calls for publicizing the individual retirement accounts start. Protect yourself and diversify.\nI agree with your point on the 401k having horrible options. But, even if you make the income requirements the decision should come down to what you believe your tax rate will be at retirement for the ROTH. If you\u2019re in a 25% bracket now and think you will retire at 15% the ROTH is a bad idea.. it might be best to go with a traditional IRA in this instance\nThat\u2019s IF you believe that tax rates will stay the same. Since I don\u2019t trust the gov\u2019t to leave tax policy stable for the next 40 years, would prefer to hedge my bets and average out my liability. Could just as easily do this splitting between pre and post tax 401k contribution, but prefer having a different company handling some of my investment.\nIt\u2019s just too powerful a tool not to have one set up. Throw spare cash into a Roth money market fund if you must. Now you have bankruptcy protected cash.\nI understand your tax rate argument. But what makes you think the government won\u2019t change the rules on ROTH IRA\u2019s?\nShoeHOTLINE says\nI prefer to go the 401(k) but I can definitely see the benefits in both.\nI choose the 401k. I cannot invest in the Roth IRA due to not meeting the eligibility requirements. Also, those in High tax brackets or who think will have a high tax bracket at withdraw time should think twice about investing in the ROTH IRA\nKcli says\n\u201cFor the Roth IRA, single individuals earning at least $110,000 may currently contribute up to $5,000 each year\u201d\nWhaaat?

        "raw_content": "Mosisili\u2019s outburst against SADC: desperation when defeat is certain\nFear sometimes drives some people to do weird things. Mosisili\u2019s actions and utterances lately are largely driven by fear which leads him to do and take desperate measures. It is not fear of elections, but fear of the consequences of losing elections especially for those people he has spent two protecting to account for their crimes. He appoints his allies to key positions weeks before he is tested in the elections; he refuses to comply with SADC\u2019s decisions on holding a pre-election stakeholder forum, and uses the most unsavoury language to convey his view to SADC; and his allies endeavour to secure all high grounds in the country designated as their areas of operation for national security. All these are a result of his fear and probably regret that he called an election unnecessarily; and could suffer his biggest political defeat since his entry into politics. The signs are clear. His most loyal supporters are disserting him rapidly while his opponents are circling around him. This can explain his erratic behaviour in the past three months or so.\nHe has berated all and sundry who had been rescuing him from his self-inflicted wounds over the past twenty years or so. He has refused to have an engagement with his colleagues under the guidance of SADC ahead of the 2017 elections. The pre-election stakeholder dialogue, meant to bring about consensus on the election process and its outcome; and commitment by all stakeholders to implement the SADC decisions was probably the most important activity which could have smoothed the way for a peaceful election. It must be recalled that it is the same SADC which he berates now which has on several occasions rescued him after he had lost power in unstable Lesotho.\nMosisili also refused to sign a pledge by political parties to commit to accepting the outcome of the elections a week ago when all significant political parties committed themselves to. This pledge was championed by the Christian Council of Lesotho (CCL) which has always been in the forefront of the mediation amongst the political forces in Lesotho whenever political conflicts have arisen. It took five days of intense pressure by internal external stakeholders for Mosisili\u2019s party to finally pledge that it will accept the outcome of the elections. Even then, Mosisili could not bring himself to the signing ceremony. He delegated that to his new and untested deputy (22/ 05/2017). We can only hope that this half-hearted commitment will ultimately provide a means through which he will be held to his word. Refusing to sign a pledge to accept the outcome of the elections was a telling development. Mosisili now understands that his chances of winning have been so whittled that he could only stay in power by force. But that, he probably was told, could be done but would not be sustainable.\nUnder this environment we have to assess Mosisili\u2019s recent outbursts against SADC and its implications for peace and security in Lesotho. It is also important to ponder additional indicators of rearguard actions which will have implications for the post election period.\nMosisili\u2019s unequal tussle with SADC\nIt is worth mentioning from the start that Mosisili became Prime Minister of Lesotho once again in March 2015 after cobbling together a coalition of seven political parties after the elections. As a result of his mishandling of the government, by the end of June 2015 scores of soldiers had been detained and tortured, while others had fled the country for allegedly being involved in a mutiny. All the leaders of the opposition political parties had fled the country for fear of being killed; the former army Commander Lt. General Maaparankoe Mahao had been waylaid and murdered by members of the Lesotho Defence Force (LDF); and SADC had by July 2015 decided to establish an international commission of inquiry to find the circumstances of the latter\u2019s murder. The recommendations of the Phumaphi Commission of Inquiry was adopted by SADC and all the two years of Mosisili \u2018s rule were consumed by attempts to resist to implement those decisions. Following the decision to dissolve Parliament after Mosisili had lost a vote of no confidence, SADC in its Extraordinary Summit in Swaziland decided to have its structures involved in monitoring and smoothing the process towards elections. This is what irked Mosisili.\nSummit mandated the Facilitator, supported by the Oversight Committee, to conduct a multi-stakeholder national dialogue before the elections set for 3rd June 2017 with the aim of building consensus and trust among all stakeholders and charting the way forward for the implementation of SADC decisions\u2026\nRather than see this as a means by which SADC would help to ensure that there is confidence by all stakeholders that the elections would be held in a peaceful manner and the outcome would lead to a stabilised country, Mosisili saw this as interference in Lesotho\u2019s internal affairs. He railed against SADC not only on the substantive issues but also on procedures taken to reach the decisions in Swaziland. While he rejects outright the idea of holding a multi-stakeholder national dialogue, what seems to have annoyed Mosisili more is the outright rejection of his deputy\u2019s attempts to derail discussion of the issue in the Summit. He laments:\nWe have been informed that despite protestations from the Head of the Lesotho delegation, Honourable Deputy Prime Minister Mothetjoa Metsing MP, we were NOT accorded the opportunity to be heard. It is for this reason that I take this opportunity to register our strong reservations on the content and procedure adopted by the Double Troika. We cannot, in good conscience, allow our sovereignty to be sacrificed for whatever reason by a regional body of which we are founding members. It would be a sad day if indeed we were to allow the SADC to degenerate into a body where might reigns supreme.\nWe are aware from multiple sources that Metsing did not have it easy in Swaziland. His previous tactics of charming the facilitator seemed to have run into trouble since all present were now aware that he has used interactions with SADC to play the delaying tactic in implementing the short-term and the long-term decisions of SADC following the adoption of the Phumaphi Report. Indeed, other than the Gaborone Summit in January 2016, Mosisili has avoided attending the crucial meetings of the Double Troika and had delegated attendance to Metsing who had mastered talking reform to avoid reform. This time the strategy did not work. It is this which irked Mosisili to the extent where he threatened to walk away from SADC. \u201cThis is NOT the SADC we founded. This is NOT the SADC we would be proud to be a part of. This is NOT the SADC we would like to bequeath unto posterity.\u201d This Mosisili meant to be a threat. As it happened, the world did not fall apart, on the contrary two messages were later relayed to him.\nAn angrier letter to the Chairperson of SADC came from the President of Botswana showing impatience with Mosisili\u2019s antics. He pointedly showed the absurdity of Mosisili\u2019s claim of interference in Lesotho\u2019s internal affairs by showing how the region has spent considerable time and resources trying to bring about stability in the country. Threatening to withdraw Botswana\u2019s participation in the current efforts, he showed that Botswana has nothing to gain by engaging in this exercise. For observers this was a case where President Khama was trying to show Mosisili that his bluff is really that. Lesotho needs the region, more than ever before. Indeed without SADC and the rest of the international community which has been steadfast in demanding accountability, Lesotho is not in a position prosper. It is even less in a position to threaten SADC.\nAnother letter from King Mswati , Chairperson of SADC, was equally firm telling Mosisili that SADC has been involved in Lesotho as part of its mandate and urged Lesotho to abide by SADC decisions at the Swaziland Summit. He pointed out that SADC has been seized with developments in Lesotho over a long period and its continued support is in line with SADC objectives and principles, with the aim of bringing about sustainable political stability, peace and tranquillity. Rebuffing Mosisili\u2019s claims of interference, the King spelt out the obvious, \u201cThe decisions are in line with the SADC Treaty and the SADC Protocol on Politics, Defence and Security Co-operation.\u201d That should have been obvious to Mosisili and his allies. Mozambican President Nyusi had long spelled out that in an earlier letter to Mosisili after Metsing\u2019s shuttle diplomacy in Botswana, Mozambique and South Africa.\nAs can be seen Mosisili\u2019s attempts to defy SADC has not been taken kindly in the region. It has left the country more isolated and vulnerable. In the world of nations, we know that small states like Lesotho can only thrive within a co-operative environment. Mosisili\u2019s actions have weakened Lesotho\u2019s status in the region and beyond. It could be that he has noticed that clinging to power cannot be part of the support SADC would be able to give him. This is why he resisted signing the pledge to accept the outcome of the elections until the pressure became unbearable. SADC with all its weaknesses could not be on his side when he resisted implementing decisions which would bring the rule of law back in the country. It could also not support his concerted efforts to undermine the electoral process.\nCould Mosisili\u2019s militia also be up to new tricks which could scupper peace in Lesotho? Could Mosisili\u2019s attempts to block the national dialogue and also to refuse to sign the pledge be related to the emerging attempts by LDF to have all high grounds designated as its operational areas part of this?\nIn a letter which has been come to the fore, LDF seeks to secure twenty two hills and plateaus for what it calls for the Ground of Tactical Importance(GTI).\u201dThey will be used for foreseeable security threat and security purposes.\u201d We need not say anything more rather than to suggest that there may be two reasons for the above. First, the sites may be required for purposes of intimidation of opponents of the regime. Internally there is no need to occupy high ground against unarmed opposition. Indeed the militia is more useful and effective around civilian areas where there is immediate access to people it wants to harm.\nOccupying high grounds could only be conceivably be against other armed people if there were to be an armed intervention after the elections. Mosisili\u2019s allies may be showing their intentions. In such situations, showing your intentions and ensuring that somebody is aware that there may be resistance should there be any intervention is a well known strategy. Such resistance may be short-lived but it surely can be offered.\nMosisili\u2019s outbursts against SADC may indicate that he knows that the end is near and does not care what happens after he leaves office. It would remain with his successors to repair the damage in relations with SADC. That is plausible. It however also indicates that he is now aware that his antics and stalling to implement SADC decisions is no longer tolerated by his peers in the region. This is why he has tended to leave the issues of attending such difficult Summits to his deputy who also internally played the role of talking reform in order to block reforms which SADC has decided need to be done.\nOn the other hand, Mosisili may be playing his last cards by allowing his allies to find a way of intimidating people ahead of the elections. The possibility of disruption of the elections and/or refusing to accept the results remains despite of the signing of the Electoral Pledge by Mosisili\u2019s party. One thing is certain; Mosisili is most unlikely going to win the elections in June 2017. All the indicators, including foregoing to contest elections in twenty six constituencies, shows that he has all but conceded that he has lost the initiative. What remains is merely to guard against disruption of elections. The presence of foreign observers goes a long way in ensuring that such attempts are limited in scope.\nMMS/ 23/05/2017",

        "title": "Socialisme ou Barbarie: A French Revolutionary Group, 1949-1965",
        "raw_content": "An article about French libertarian socialist group Socialisme ou Barbarie - Socialism or Barbarism. SouB had a theoretical influence on the Situationist International and others of their time.\nSocialisme ou Barbarie: A French Revolutionary Group (1949-65)\nMarcel van der Linden(1)\nIn memory of Cornelius Castoriadis, 11 March 1922 -- 26 December 1997\nFrom Left History 5.1 (1997)\nThe political and theoretical views developed by the radical group from 1949 onward, have only recently received some attention outside the French speaking world. (2) For a long period things were little different in France where the group and its similarly named periodical also received scant attention. This only changed after the students' and workers' rebellion in May-June 1968. The remnants of the journal, which had been unsaleable up to then -- it had stopped appearing three years earlier- suddenly became a hot-selling item. Many of the 'heretical' ideas published in it seemed to be confirmed by the unexpected revolt. In 1977 the daily Le Monde wrote on the intellectual efforts of Socialisme ou Barbarie: \"This work -- although unknown to the public at large -- has nevertheless had a powerful influence on those who played a role in May 1968.\" In the writings of the group one finds \"most of the ideas which are being debated nowadays (from workers' control through to the critique ofmodern technology, of Bolshevism or of Marx).\" (3)\nIn Socialisme ou Barbarie an attempt was made to consider the bureaucratization of social movements. The central questions were: is it an iron law that movements opposing the existing order either fall apart or change into rigid hierarchies? How can militants organize themselves without being absorbed or rigidified into a bureaucratic apparatus? Socialisme ou Barbarie first posed these questions because the group asked itself why things had gone wrong in the traditional labour movement. After all, in the course of the twentieth century this movement had increasingly alienated itself from its grass roots and taken on the shape of turgid labour and trade union bureaucracies.\nIn reaction to this development Socialisme ou Barbarie tried to stimulate new types of opposition. The approach used was that of direct democracy. The history of the group was essentially a lengthy search for a new relationship between spontaneity and organization, between practice and theory. The debates which took place during this search often had a freshness which is still relevant today.\nSocialisme ou Barbarie's most prominent intellectuals were Castoriadis and Lefort. Cornelius Castoriadis was born in 1922 and studied law, economics and philosophy at the University of Athens. Before the Second World War, during the dictatorship of Metaxas, he had joined the Greek Communist youth organization. However, when the Germans occupied the country and the Communist Party wanted to ally itself with the bourgeois resistance, Castoriadis rejected the decision. After a short period of political wanderings, he ended up with a small Trotskyist group led by Agis Stinas. This was a risky choice, because Trotskyists were threatened from two sides in Greece. The occupying power persecuted them whenever possible and in 1943 executed the most important leaders, among them Pantelis Pouliopoulos and Yannis Xypolytos. (4) When the country was 'liberated' in 1944, it was the Communists' turn. During massive 'mopping-up operations' they murdered at least 600 of Trotsky's followers, often after having tortured them. (5) This traumatic experience was a determining factor in Castoriadis' further development. The Trotskyist view on Stalinism, which he had supported only a short time before, seemed less and less correct.\nThe Stalinists were not a part of the labour movement which had been absorbed by capitalism, as Trotsky had claimed, but bureaucrats, who opposed the workers as well as capitalism! When Castoriadis settled in France at the end of 1945 he joined the Parti Communiste Internationaliste (PCI), the French section of the Fourth International, which had a few hundred members. He immediately started propagating his new position.\nClaude Lefort was Castoriadis' most important partner in the building of the dissident current in the PCI. Born in 1924, Lefort was still a philosophy student when he met Castoriadis for the first time. As early as 1943 he had formed an underground group at the Lyc\u00e9e Henri IV in Paris, although the Trotskyist position on the Soviet Union and Stalinism had never seemed very convincing to him. When he first heard Castoriadis speak, Lefort was deeply impressed: \"His analysis overwhelmed me,\" he said in an interview. \"I was convinced by him even before he had come to his conclusions. [...] Castoriadis' arguments were in my view on a par with the best of Marx, but the Trotskyists called it heresy.\" (6)\nFrom 1946 onwards Castoriadis and Lefort worked together. As was customary in the Trotskyist movement, both had cover names. The first called himself Pierre Chaulieu, the second Claude Montal. (7) Hence they were at first known as the Chaulieu-Montal Tendency. (8)\nThe political histories of Castoriadis and Lefort differed rather markedly. Castoriadis had been a member of a Communist party and later of a Trotskyist organization. In both cases he had only taken up an oppositional view during his membership. He was thus used to party discipline -- at least for a while. Lefort, on the other hand, had no such experience. He had spent fewer years as a member of a party organization and had taken an oppositional view in the Trotskyist movement from the beginning. The idea of identifying himself with any party was therefore a strange one for him. (9) This difference between them became more critical in later political debates.\nWith hindsight one can see that the first period after the Second World War - until 1947 -- was of a different order from the time which followed. Before 1947 political relations were relatively open and flexible; later this was to change for a long time. The tension between the two superpowers only increased gradually. Stalin had not yet modeled the newly-conquered countries in Eastern Europe after the Soviet example and Truman had not yet decided to employ the enormous economic potential of his country as a weapon against communism.\nIn Western Europe the war had brought about a strong shift to the left. The Communist parties were more popular than ever. Their percentage of the vote often grew to a multiple of what it had been before the war: there was a massive increase in membership. After the years of misery in the depression and the war the population longed for progress and social reforms. Communists had been taken into the government in many countries. At the beginning of 1947 Austria, Belgium, France, Italy, Iceland and Finland all had Communist ministers.\nIn the course of 1947 this relatively peaceful co-existence came to an end. The relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union had been worsening for some time. Economic problems came to the fore in Western Europe, while at the same time the American economy was in danger of overheating and frantically searched for new markets. It was in these circumstances that George Marshall, the American Secretary of State, developed the plan to offer Europe a substantial program of aid. In this way a number of aims could be achieved at the same time: the power of capitalism in Europe would be increased; American capital could secure its exports; and the influence of communism could be forced back. The Marshall Plan marked a turning point which led to a changed international constellation. In Western Europe the Communist ministers were put out of office. In Eastern Europe a political and economic transformation to 'people's democracies' was enforced, which meant that these societies increasingly began to resemble Soviet society. The polarization between the blocks started dominating developments: the Cold War had started.\nIn France bourgeois circles had happily used the Communists and their influence in the large trade union federation CGT immediately after the end of the German occupation. By letting them form a government together with the Social Democrats and the Christian Democrats (SFIO and MRP) in 1945 Charles de Gaulle -- who had become prime minister for a short while in November -- hoped to be able to discipline the workers. The Monnet Plan, which regulated the reconstruction, was supported by the Communist PCF. The New York Herald Tribune wrote on 12 July 1946:\n\"The key for the success of the plan to date, which has been considerable, is the enthusiastic cooperation of the French Communist Party.\nThe Communists dominate the most important unions in the CGT, the large French trade union federation. The Communist leadership has been responsible for such surprising steps as the acceptance by the most important French unions of a kind of adjusted piece rate system, which rewards individual workers with a high output.\"\nThis policy was also supported by the Social Democrats. The policies of the two French workers' parties led to wage decreases in a period of inflation and therefore helped to lower living standards.\nThe Communists' integration policy could not, however, altogether prevent the workers from standing up for their interests. In January 1946 typographers, demanding higher wages, went on strike. In July 1946, postmen stopped work. And in April 1947 there were strikes at the Renault car works, which had been nationalized a couple of years before. It was especially this last strike, in which Trotskyists had played a leading role (a \"Gaullist-Trotskyist-anarchist chaos,\" according to the secretary of the CGT, Plaisance), that made clear that the Communists were starting to lose their grip on developments. On 30 April 1947 Communist leader Maurice Thorez informed the government that the PCF could no longer support the price and wage policy of the government. Ramadier, the social democrat prime minister, who was under pressure from Washington, used the opportunity to throw the Communists out of the government a few days later.\nThe PCF and the social-democratic SFIO now increasingly opposed one another. The latter, pro-American and a participant in a number of later governments, was bitterly opposed by the former. In the period 1947-49 there were great strike waves throughout the country, now wholeheartedly supported by the PCF and CGT The Social Democrats, for their part, attempted to undermine the workers' resistance. Financially supported by the CIA. they succeeded in splitting the CGT and in setting up a new 'moderate' trade union federation (Force Ouvri\u00c3\u00a8re). Although this remained a far smaller organization than the CGT, many trade union members became demoralized by the new divisions. Within a few years more than half the CGT members had departed, leaving about two million halfway through the 1950s. Force Ouvri\u00c3\u00a8re started out with a few hundred thousand members and never managed greatly to increase this number.\nThe Cold War, the economic recovery of the 1950s. and the antagonism between the two 'workers' parties' and their trade unions, resulted in a clear drop in militancy: the radical zeal disappeared. In 1947 there had been more than 22 million strike days; by 1952 this had dropped to less than one and a half million. The circumstances for radical socialists were naturally very difficult. Enormous political pressure was exerted on all kinds of far left groups (Council Communists, Trotskyists, Bordigists(10), etc.) to join one camp or the other: Washington or Moscow. Those who refused such a choice were not given a hearing and were deemed suspect. The anti-capitalist opposition was completely monopolized by the Communists. There was hardly any room for independent revolutionaries.\nThe isolation had two contradictory consequences. On the one hand the lack of successful practical activities led to a greater emphasis on theoretical-programmatic questions. Naturally this resulted in differences of opinion and quite often ended in large conflicts and even splits. On the other hand the enmity of the world 'outside' brought the small left-radical groups together, resulting in co-operative ties despite the political differences. There was a kind of 'dialectic' of division and reunion.\nThe changed situation also led to intense debates within the international Trotskyist movement, especially about Eastern Europe. It is unnecessary to enter into the niceties of this discussion; it seems sufficient to note that there were minorities in a number of countries who refused to regard the Soviet Union as a 'transitional society' between capitalism and socialism, as had Trotsky. These minorities considered both East and West to have equally reprehensible systems of exploitation and repression. In the United States such a view was defended by a group known as the Johnson-Forest Tendency. Johnson was the pseudonym of the black revolutionary C.L.R. James, Forest the cover identity of Rae Spiegel (Raya Dunayevskaya), a former secretary of Trotsky. In Great Britain the opposition inside the Trotskyist movement was led by Ygael Gluckstein from Palestine, who operated under the name of Tony Cliff. In France it was Castoriadis and Lefort in their Chaulieu-Montal Tendency who voiced the opposition to the old viewpoints. All these opponents left the international Trotskyist organization, the Fourth International, between 1948 and 1951 in order to set up independent groups. They were to maintain regular contacts with each other. Castoriadis and Dunayevskaya were still working together in the Sixties. (11)\nIn August 1946 Castoriadis and Lefort published On the Regime and Against the Defence of the USSR, in which they criticized the Trotskyist critical-positive evaluation of the Soviet Union. They especially opposed the idea that Stalinist society -- despite the shortcomings also admitted by the Trotskists (specifically the lack of any democracy)- should have to be defended against capitalism.\nCastoriadis and Lefort proposed that a new elite, a \"social layer\" of bureaucrats, had achieved power in the USSR and that this elite exclusively defended its own interests rather than those of the Soviet workers. For this reason the Soviet Union was a new kind of society, which scrove for expansion just as much as Western capitalism.(12)\nIn a later stage Castoriadis and Lefort abandoned the characterization of the Soviet Union as a new type of society and described it as 'bureaucratic capitalism.' According to them this was a society based on exploitation, without the classic laws of competitive capitalism but with the surplus value formation typical of capitalism.\nNumerous articles were written by the opposition to convince their Trotskyist party comrades.(13) When this failed and the Chaulieu-Montal Tendency seemed doomed to remain a small minority within a movement that was itself quite tiny,(14) the dissidents decided to break with the Fourth International. At the end of 1948 ten or twenty of them left the organization. (15) In March 1949 the group published the first issue of the magazine Socialisme ou Barbarie -- a well-made periodical of one hundred pages or more. The reasons for leaving the Fourth International were once again explained in an open letter to the members of the Fourth International who had been left behind. Trotskyism was reproached for being a movement without political-theoretical power because it was incapable of finding an \"independent ideological basis for existence.\"(16) Trotskyism could not truly liberate itself from Stalinism, because it continued to define itself as the opposite of Stalinism.\nThe central article of the first issue was an extensive text entitled \"Socialism or Barbarism,\" which amounted to a statement of the group's position. This text was mostly written by Castoriadis. Just as Marx wanted to give a programmatic foundation to the League of Communists with his Manifesto of the Communist Party, so Castoriadis attempted to formulate a political foundation for the new organization with \"Socialism or Barbarism.\" He took the world situation, which had changed so thoroughly as a result of the Second World War, as his point of departure. Two \"superstates\" had divided the world between them: the United States and the Soviet Union. Both had expansionist tendencies and strove to dominate the other. The result of this would inevitably be a third world war, which would result in barbarism for international society, unless the power elites in East and West were overthrown through a radical-socialist revolution. Socialism or Barbarism: those were the only remaining roads for humanity.\nWhat would such a radical-socialist revolution mean? Its point of departure would lie in the most fundamental contradiction shared by East and West, bureaucracy and competitive capitalism: the contradiction between managing and subordinate labour. While it had seemed in Marx's time that the ending of the private ownership of the means of production would be sufficient to remove injustice and exploitation from the world, it had now become clear - among other things because of the existence of the Soviet Union -- that state ownership of the means of production did not necessarily lead to socialism or even improved circumstances. On the contrary, it might lead to increased exploitation and repression. Developments in competitive capitalism had shown that it was not just a question of the ownership of the means of production: to an increasing extent entrepreneurial leadership and capital ownership were being separated while the importance of the managers versus the owners had increased. (17) Everything therefore revolved around the struggle against hierarchy and bureaucracy. All power must reside in the rank and file, among the working population.\nRight from the start there was a debate on matters of organization in Socialisme ou Barbarie. What exactly was the group's self-definition? Was it to be a collection of independently acting militants, with no responsibilities whatsoever, or was it necessary to develop a common praxis alongside the journal? If so, should such activity assume the role of a vanguard, or not? How was the organization to be internally structured? Was democratic centralism finished or not?\nIn April 1949 the majority of the group voted for a resolution which was to serve as a programmatic basis for future work. In it the Leninist conception of arousing political consciousness in the working class from the outside was rejected, as was the idea that the group was to be merely \"a collection of individuals\" who would restrict themselves to publishing a \"more or less academic journal.\" Yet despite this delineation of aims, the group remained more or less old-fashioned: Socialisme ou Barbarie was to develop into a revolutionary party, capable of leading and co-ordinating the independent workers' struggle, directed at the conquest of state power. (18)\nThere was opposition to this resolution, but it was weak. It was only in 1951-52, after a small group of ex-Bordigists had joined, (19) and the membership had shrunk further, that the few opponents decided to voice their own opinion more openly.(20) Claude Lefort, especially, opposed the attempts to form a vanguard party.\nIn the preceding years Lefort had gradually developed his doubts about thinking in terms of a vanguard, not in Socialisme ou Barbarie, but through articles in Les Temps Modernes, the journal founded in 1945 by Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir and Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Lefort's friend and philosophy tutor, among others.(21) At the end of 1948 Lefort had published a noteworthy essay in that periodical, in which he blamed Trotsky for hesitating too long before frontally opposing Stalin's party bureaucracy. He ascribed this to Trotsky's glorification of the party as a \"godlike factor in historical development.\" \"Trotsky's battle against the bureaucracy,\" according to Lefort, \"had no foundation because objectively Trotsky was himself a founder of this bureaucracy.\" When at last Trotsky did reject the Communist Party of' the Soviet Union (in the 1930s) it was too late. (22) In another article published in 1949 Lefort paid attention to anarchism, which he strongly criticized. \"Anarchist consciousness is a traumatized consciousness,\" he argued, \"it is a simple refusal of exploitation and not its negation, that is to say, the contradiction which leads to a new historical expression.\" At the same time he praised it as a source of inspiration for a radical type of Marxism, which opposes state power and exploitation. (23)\nLefort's development caused tensions within Socialisme ou Barbarie. In June 1952 he left the organization along with some supporters, but after a short while he returned. (24) Two texts were then published in the journal, explaining the prevailing differences of opinion within the group. Castoriadis still argued for the idea that Socialisme ou Barbarie ought to be the nucleus of a revolutionary vanguard party; Lefort, on the other hand, placed the systematic support for workers' control at the centre of his considerations. The essence of Castoriadis' reasoning was that the group should contribute to the overthrow and destruction of capitalist society and the bourgeois state. For this a political party was needed to lead and co-ordinate the workers' resistance. The fundamental contradiction between management and subordinate labour, which dominated East and West, could not be overcome with one blow: the party had to be a leadership striving for its own disbandment. This disbandment could, however, only take place after the revolution. (25) Lefort's position was that the essential problem was not the organization of the revolution, but workers' power. The power of the workers would make a revolution possible, but a revolution would not guarantee workers' power. The only way in which the proletariat could develop its power was through autonomous forms of organization. Everything depended on this and not on the party, which was simply a historically determined expression of specific labour experiences and could therefore be superfluous or even undesirable in other circumstances. This is why Socialisme ou Barbarie should not so much concern itself with revolution and the conquest of state power, as with the experiences of the working class in the process of organizing itself. (26) In a later article Lefort further elaborated his position and tried to analyze the 'proletarian experience' as the guiding principle of life for the working class. (27) With this approach Lefort was an important predecessor of the later attempts at analyzing capitalism 'from below' by Raniero Panzieri, Edward Thompson, Erhard Lucas and others.\nThe heated internal debates in the group were soon followed by discussions with outsiders on similar questions. Members of the group were criticized from the 'left' because of their position on the vanguard, and from the 'right, because they were too hostile towards the Stalinist glorification of the patty. It is noteworthy -- but also understandable, in view of the differences of opinion -- that almost automatically a division of labour was created between Lefort and Castoriadis. The latter took up the defence against party opponents, while the former opened the attack on those who favoured a vanguard-party conception.\nIn November 1953 Anton Pannekoek, the aging Dutch Council Communist, sent a letter to Socialisme ou Barbarie which was also published in the journal. (28) In his letter Pannekoek wrote that he sympathized with the group in many ways, but that he also had two fundamental differences of opinion: the evaluation of the Russian revolution of 1917, and the question of the vanguard party. Unlike Socialisme ou Barbarie he did not regard the October revolution as a proletarian revolt, which had later degenerated into a bureaucratic state capitalism. Instead he thought that right from the start this had been a bourgeois event, which could never have resulted in socialism. As for the vanguard organization, that was totally rejected by Pannekoek. He believed that revolutionaries should not build up a party but should engage solely in propaganda and theoretical debate. Their task was to call for workers' control and not to 'lead' a liberation struggle.\nIn his answer Castoriadis concentrated on the question of the vanguard organization. His most important proposition was that it was precisely when revolutionaries did not build a party, that the way was cleared for a bureaucratic dictatorship, as in the Soviet Union.\n\"Just as the only 'guarantee' against making mistakes consists of thinking for oneself, so the only 'guarantee' against bureaucratization is to be found in permanent action in the anti-bureaucratic sense, by fighting against the bureaucracy and by showing in practice, that a non-bureaucratic vanguard organization is possible and that it can maintain non-bureaucratic relations with the class. For bureaucracy is not born out of incorrect theoretical opinions, but out of its own necessities in a certain stage. It is necessary to show precisely through acting that the proletariat can do without the bureaucracy.\" (29)\nA second letter from Pannekoek in which he elucidated certain elements of his theory was not published by Socialisme ou Barbarie. (30) Pannekoek's central proposition was that a revolutionary party could not save a revolution from bureaucratization; on the contrary, it represented \"a step in the direction of new repression.\" (31) In a later unpublished letter to Castoriadis, Pannekoek added that he certainly believed in the existence of vanguards, but that it seems wrong to him to capture these vanguards in disciplined organizations: \"It is always the case,\" he wrote, \"that certain persons come to the lore through their deeds, their courage or their clear vision. in speaking or acting quickly; together these persons in fact form a vanguard, which we see appearing in every action. In fact they become leaders; (...) When they come together in permanent groups or parties with fixed programmes these fluent relations become petrified. They then regard themselves as unofficial leaders and want to be followed and obeyed.\" (32)\nJean-Paul Sartre took up a position totally opposed to that of Pannekoek. He turned the Communist Party into a fetish. In his great philosophical work L 'etre et le n\u00e9ant of 1943 he had defended the proposition that those who are repressed always need an institution outside and above them in order to resist. (33) In the 1950s Sartre developed this idea to show that the Communist party was vital for the struggle against capitalism. In a series of articles in Les Temps Modernes Sartre claimed that the working class does not exist as a class as long as it is not organized in a vanguard party: \" The worker is a sub-human (sous-homme) if he simply accepts being what he is\"; he only becomes human when he \"becomes conscious of his sub-humanity.\" This consciousness implies resistance and organization. However, the proletariat does not by itself come into existence. -- it is the result of a separate factor, a \"third,\" which brings together isolated individuals. This binding factor is the Communist Party. In short: \"A worker in contemporary France can only express and fulfil himself through acting in the class under the leadership of the Communist Party.\"\nSartre's reasoning -- which is Stalinist not in itself but in its conclusions (Merleau-Ponty called it \"ultra-bolshevist\") -- created an absolute contradiction between spontaneity and organization. Spontaneity was nothing, was incoherent \"loneliness.\" Organization, party-organization, was everything. If the workers lost their trust in the Communist Party, then they lost not only their trust in the party, but also in politics and in their own class. \"The universe\" would then \"be bourgeois.\" (34)\nClaude Lefort wrote an extensive response to Sartre in Les Temps Modernes. He opposed his conclusion as well as his arguments. The party or whatever kind of radical organization, was never a 'third.' external factor outside the mass of the workers, but always a form of expression of that mass. While Sartre approached the subject 'from above,' Lefort again thought 'from below':\n\"The point is to understand the revolutionary struggle by situating it in the total experience of the class. The dynamic of the Russian revolution cannot be seen by itself, but must he looked at in connection with a specific proletariat, situated in historically determined production conditions and maintaining relations with other exploited classes; these circumstances cannot he compared with those of any other proletariat in Europe. The organization of Bolshevism, its rigorous centralism, should not be seen as a necessary characteristic of the labour movement, but a particular solution for the relations between the masses and their vanguard. The problem is to know how bolshevist politics simultaneously expresses the ripeness and the problems of the Russian proletariat. Moreover, one tends to ask oneself what the point is of the party in the experience of the workers, especially in these times. But that is precisely the particular question which certain people want to avoid at any cost.\"\nParty organization should be a flexible structure, adjusted to the social relations in which the struggle takes place. The Communist parties, on the other hand, were nothing but elements of the Stalinist bureaucracy in the Soviet Union. In this connection Lefort distinguished between two bureaucratic variants in the labour movement: the social democratic and the Communist. The social democratic bureaucracy identified itself with the interests of the ruling bourgeoisie. The Communist party bureaucracy identified itself with the interests of the Soviet Union and was therefore ultimately a mortal enemy of the native bourgeoisie. The Communist party used the aggressiveness of the workers to be able to establish a bureaucratic dictatorship based on the East-European model and therefore misused the socialist inclination of the class. In that sense the Communist party no longer was revolutionary, because it was anti-capitalist, but not socialist. The real socialist alternative therefore was to be found outside the established 'workers' parties. Since Stalinist parties were also in a certain way an expression of workers' experiences, it would be necessary from an anti-bureaucratic perspective to discover why the majority of the class follows the politics of the Communists and in what ways it nevertheless distinguished itself from those politics and the organizations related to it. (35)\nWhatever the differences of opinion within Socialisme ou Barbarie, the dislike of every kind of bureaucracy and undemocratic structures was common to all members of the group. When the organization started to grow in the 1950s (36) there were more opportunities, not just to think about and write on anti-bureaucracy, but also to act. This was all the more so because gradually social unrest increased. In the 1970s Castoriadis described the changes which became visible from 1952-53:\nThe Korean War was ending, Stalin died, the workers of East Berlin revolted,the entire public sector in France went on strike. New life was breathed into the group, new people joined, the publications became more regular and their contents improved. [...] Furthermore, the group was stimulated by the Twentieth Congress of the Russian Communist Party, Poznan and of course the Hungarian revolution and the Polish movement. [...] The Algerian war started in November 1954. The Mollet government began a gradual mobilization from 1956 in order to be able to send troops to Algeria. The soldiers called up demonstrated and stopped the army trains. The economic chaos increased and the movement started stirring. In the autumn of 1957 there was considerable unrest in the factories -- the situation was unstable and open. (37)\nIt was under these changing circumstances that Socialisme ou Barbarie started its work in the factories. Right from the start the organization had defended the position that a bureaucratic layer of bosses had developed in the trade unions (and especially in the CGT), which had established increasingly close ties with the state apparatus. This trade union bureaucracy had become an independent factor, which functioned as a sort of link between the state apparatus and the working class, and therefore tried to reconcile both sides with each other. On the one hand the bureaucracy partially accepted the demands of the workers in order to retain its own mass base, but on the other it also tried to meet the demands of the state apparatus in order to remain 'respectable' and to be acceptable as a partner in negotiations. (38)\nThis was not in itself a new analysis; it had long been a part of Trotskyist thought. The essential thing was what kind of political conclusions were drawn from it. Did revolutionaries have to try to reconquer the trade unions from within and to dethrone the bureaucrats; or was it, on the contrary, more desirable to work outside the unions and build up new organizations? In practice Socialimse ou Barbarie's factory work usually amounted to the latter, but not everybody was happy about this. In the period 1954-55 a debate on this topic took place in the journal. Daniel Moth\u00e9 defended the position which supported working outside the unions. Other participants in the debate, like the anarchist Fontenis, thought that revolutionaries should be active in the trade unions because this was the only way for them to make contacts with the workers and win their trust:\n\"Fighting from the outside implies cutting oneself off from one's audience. And let us not forget that in certain sectors, where the workers are distributed amongst an infinite number of workplaces or small firms, the trade union meeting is the only way in which the workers can be brought together and to made to listen.\" (39)\nSocialisme ou Barbarie's most important factory work took place in the Renault factories in Paris-Billancourt, although actions were also organized in other places, including an insurance firm. The driving force at Renault was Daniel Moth\u00e9, a politically experienced worker who had joined the group in 1952. Like his fellow group members he had received his inspiration and general ideas about what was happening in modern capitalist firms from the American group of sympathizers around C.L.R. James and Raya Dunayevskaya.\nInspired by developments in the United States, the American revolutionaries assumed that 1914 had been a kind of watershed in the history of capitalist management techniques .After that year Frederick Winslow Taylor's \"scientific management\" was applied more and more widely. When the Ford system with its conveyor belts was added to this (in the period 1924-28), labour processes changed fundamentally The educational level demanded for workers decreased, the pace of work and the sequence of work acts were no longer dictated by humans, but by machines. Influenced by the great economic recession of 1929 this change was accelerated even more. The mass of workers became \"hunted, working for starvation wages,\" dominated by \"a staff of managers who can only carry out the production through the use of a hired gang [...] of gangsters, murderers, foremen.\" (40) The new structure of the labour process left its mark on the daily life and the consciousness of the workers, according to this same analysis. The point was to study the consequences of these changes for the self-organization of the workers.\nAs early as 1946 the group around James and Dunayevskaya published a pamphlet entitled The American Worker. In this publication Paul Romano (\"I am a young worker approaching thirty\") described his life in and outside the factory: the physical exertion demanded by the work, the weekend, family life and forms of shop floor resistance (41) This approach, a novel one at the time, with a view of modern capitalist reality from the perspective of the daily life of the (male) worker, was an attractive one for European radical leftists. The story by Paul Romano was serialized in Socialisme ou Barbarie and later in an Italian periodical as well. (42) The Americans were also the first of the radical leftists to set up factory work. Worker members of the group founded a paper called Correspondence in 1953, meant to be an organ of independent (not controlled by the trade unions) workers' struggles in the factories. (43)\nAll this stimulated Socialisme ou Barbarie into making similar efforts. Developments in factories were reported more and more often in the journal, a series was published on 'Life in the Factory' and the American example was followed by producing a factory paper. (44) In April 1954 workers in one of the Renault workshops distributed a leaflet on wage levels; this leaflet gained a lot of support among other groups of workers in the firm and as a result the first issue of Tribune Ouvri\u00c3\u00a8re, a stenciled, independent monthly paper for the personnel of the car factory, appeared in May 1954. (45) With or without direct influence from Socialisme ou Barbarie similar newspapers came into being within a short time outside Paris (Nantes, Bordeaux, Toulouse) and in other firms in Paris (Br\u00e9guet, Morse, etc.) At the beginning of 1958 they decided to work together. (46)\nThe year 1958 marked a break in French post-war history. On 13 May the army took power through a coup in the Algerian colony in the hope of being able to fight the liberation movement more effectively. In France itself the highest circles of the state apparatus were in a state of panic -- fearing that they were no longer capable of 'controlling' developments in the home country and the colonies. For a long time nothing had been heard from General de Gaulle, who had been prime minister in '45-'46 and had for a number of years (1947-53) vainly attempted to control the turn of events with his own party (the Rassemblement du Peuple Fran\u00c3\u00a7ais). Now, on 1 June 1958, he was ordered by the National Assembly to reform the state apparatus. He carried out this task conscientiously. On 21 December he had himself voted head of state, after which he concentrated more and more power in his own hands. In 1962 he passed a new law which allowed the president to be chosen by the people and no longer by parliament. His regime started to take on 'bonapartist' trappings; it increasingly took on the characteristics of a conservative dictatorship.\nCastoriadis regarded this development as the political expression of a deep crisis of French capitalism. As early as mid-1958 he published an analysis in Socialisme ou Barbarie in which the deep-seated unevenness of post-war French development played a central role. He considered the country to be split into two contrasting economic sectors: a very modern and dynamic versus an obsolete and backward capitalism. He supposed that these two sectors (the France \"of 1958\" and the France \"of 1858\") could not tolerate one another. \"The fast development of a large, modern industry cannot, in the course of time, be combined with the maintenance of entire economic sectors (agriculture, small-scale trade, small-scale industry) in their present anachronistic form and the conservation of the corresponding layers of the population.\" The continued existence of a backward sector, which still carried a lot of political weight, had contributed to the blocking of the parliamentary system. It had strengthened the process of disintegration of the bourgeois political forces; consecutive governments had been made subservient to the special interests of one group or another; through this splitting of forces the state apparatus lost its ability to act on behalf of the interests of capitalism as a whole. \"Parliament and government [...] have become almost exclusive instruments of those specific interests.\" The lack of even one specific 'workers party' had strengthened this bourgeois impasse. The reformist pressure which could have forced the bourgeoisie to discipline itself and consolidate into one conservative political party, was lacking. Large parts of the state apparatus were therefore obsolete from a modern capitalist point of view; the taxation system was mostly indirect, the credit system \"exceptionally modern under Napoleon III,\" etc. Together these factors had, according to Castoriadis, resulted in a situation in which French capitalism after 1945 had been unable to work out a coherent policy and to put it into practice. The objective course of development after 13 May 1958 was therefore the restructuring of the bourgeois state and the elimination of the backward elements of French society.\nIn Castoriadis' eyes, De Gaulle's coup was not a defeat for the French working class. The fact that only a small part of that class had taken part in the demonstrations called on 28 May 1958 by the CGT and the Communists did not, from his point of view, mean that the class was beaten or depoliticized. On the contrary, the situation was continually debated in the factories. But the workers -- partly because they did not yet know what De Gaulle would be able 'to deliver' -- did not feel like fighting for a return to the situation before 13 May: \"The workers and more generally the largest part of the wage earners are sick of the capitalist republic.\" The workers therefore awaited further steps by De Gaulle; his deeds would determine their reaction. Should the project succeed and result in a modernization of capitalist relations in France, then a non-violent democratization seemed possible. If on the other hand De Gaulle's project were to fail partially or totally, and the situation were to worsen politically and economically, then a massive workers' protest seemed quite likely.\nIn these circumstances Castoriadis saw a dual task for the revolutionary socialists: On the one hand they should help build independent workers' organizations and papers, similar to those starting to come to the fore at Renault and at other firms; at the same time there would have to be a co-ordination of the various resistance committees and a national workers' paper. On the other hand the revolutionaries, now spread out all over the country and in numerous groups (the \"diffused vanguard\"), would have to be brought together in one organization -- a new type of party, based on experiences since 1917:\n\"The programme of this organization should be socialism, embodied in workers' power, the total power of the workers' councils which will realize the workers' management of the firm and of society. The structure of the organization should be democratic-proletarian, and it should express the domination by the grass roots in all aspects of life and organizational activity, and which in itself suppresses the distinction between leaders and led. The methods of work must agree with the priority of the grass roots and should give all militants the possibility of understanding what the organization is doing, and to control it.\" (47)\nCastoriadis' opinion about the tasks of French revolutionaries was certainly not commonly shared in Socialisme ou Barbarie.\nIn September 1958 Socialisme ou Barbarie definitively split. Two Dutch Council Communists were present. In their account of the events -- published in the contemporary paper Spartacus -- they assumed that there had been three currents within the group:\na) a group still strongly inspired by Leninism, to which the ex-Bordigist V\u00e9ga belonged; this current was referred to as the \"right wing\" by the Dutchmen;\nb) the \"centre\" around Castoriadis;\nc) the \"left\" around Lefort.\nUsing this yardstick, they wrote the following:\n\"It is not the left wing which completed the break, but the right and centre, which deliberately steered for it. So deliberately, that the break came before the congress where left, centre and right were to discuss their differences of opinion. This congress was to take place in Paris on Saturday, 27 and Sunday, 28 September 1958. It did not take place. At least, it did not take place as planned. [\u00c3\u20ac\u00c3\u20ac.] Two meetings had been organized, on Thursday 18 and 25 September, to prepare for the congress. Both right and left had prepared a text which would serve as a point of departure for the discussion. Both of these texts [...] naturally had an entirely different character; one could clearly discern the fundamental differences which had existed between the two currents for a long time: but there was nothing which indicated that the existing situation, in which the left and right worked in a single group, would shortly come to an end.(48) [...The] differences were in no way brought to a head in the bulletin, which had been compiled by a member of the left wing. [...] The debate on both texts, which started on Thursday, 18 September, consequently had a vehement but at the same time friendly character. On Wednesday, 24 September something unexpected happened. The centre published a sequel to its text, which especially concerned the position and presentation of the left. The accent of this second paper was extremely sharp. The left were accused of propounding their theory 'while knowing better,' and of 'knowingly misleading the workers.' Its behaviour was even described as 'dishonest,' while the criticism of the right and the centre by the left, was turned into a downright caricature. Under these circumstances the preparatory meeting of Thursday, 25 September lost every semblance of geniality. The left expected that, at the very least, certain statements, like those concerning 'deceit' and 'deception' would be dropped immediately because upholding them would naturally make any discussion impossible. The most important spokesman of the centre refused. He declared that it was not his habit to be swayed by his emotions and that he had calmly considered every word and did not wish to take back a single word or sentence. At that the comrades of the left stood up and left the room. On Friday, 26 September they met separately and took the decision that they would not be present at the congress, which started on the 27th. Thus came the break-up.\" (49)\nThe splitting-up of Socialisme ou Barbarie was the result of the fact that the majority of the group wanted to form a vanguard organization in the short term, because they judged the conditions to be favourable (De Gaulle's coup, their own growth)(50). The minority, which saw nothing in such a project, was a nuisance and was therefore 'removed' through a contrived break.\nIn the preceding period Lefort's opposition had already intensified. He himself has indicated two reasons for this. On the one hand there was the close co-operation which had grown between Castoriadis and Dunayevskaya in the 1950s. Lefort largely appreciated Dunayevskaya's opinions on the day-to-day resistance of industrial workers and her ideas on autonomous forms of organization. However his abhorrence of her philosophical approach, with which she, according to Lefort, wanted to create \"in vague Hegelian terms\" a synthesis between world history and social life, was stronger: \"The close relationship between Castoriadis and [Raya Dunayevskaya] for the first time made me aware of the deep conceptual differences which formed the basis of our political differences.\"(51) On the other hand Lefort had strengthened his opposition in reaction to the current in Socialisme ou Barbarie which was still inspired to a large degree by the Bolshevists, and to which several newcomers -- among them Jean-Fran\u00c3\u00a7ois Lyotard and Pierre-Fran\u00c3\u00a7ois Souyri (\"Brune\") -- belonged, as well as V\u00e9ga. (52)\nThe split was merely the sudden end of a process of alienation which had been going on for years. After the split Socialisme ou Barbarie published texts by Castoriadis and Lefort outlining their opposing positions. The central proposition of Castoriadis's article was that any organization could degenerate into a bureaucratic monster, but that such degeneration could definitely be prevented if a conscious permanent struggle is waged against it. Furthermore, this could best be done by structuring the organization on a grass-roots basis. The working class badly needed a new type of organization along these lines, in view of existing needs for information, discussion, the exchange of experiences and communal action.(53) In his article, Lefort recognized the need for organized workers' action as well as for co-ordination and the exchange of experiences; but he denied that a separate party was necessary for this, as Castoriadis thought. That task could be fulfilled by groups of workers and employees in the firms, without intervention by a separate vanguard. The revolutionary socialists must, insofar as they themselves are wage labourers in a firm, actively participate. And insofar as they, as intellectuals, stood outside the production process, they could give theoretical and practical help to the struggle on condition that they subordinated themselves to the broad movement.(54)\nThe split-off group around Claude Lefort, which also included Henri Simon, a white-collar worker who would play an important role in further developments, founded the Informations et Liaisons Ouvri\u00c3\u00a8res (ILO). The group published a paper under the same title. It changed its name in 1960 to Informations et Correspondance Ouvri\u00c3\u00a8res (ICO) and existed until 1973. (55) ICO took the position that trade unions have a system-stabilizing function in capitalism; that is the way they are seen by the bourgeoisie and that is the reason the state apparatus absorbs them in numerous consultative organs and commissions.\nThe workers understand this; they don't see the unions so much as an organization of their own, but as a service provider, which they can call on. The relation between workers and unions is businesslike, a 'realistic' relationship: \"The unions use the workers as an army with which they can manoeuvre on the political chess board. The workers make the same use of the trade unions.\"\nJust as on a national scale the trade unions were simply the intermediaries between the workers and the capitalists (and not the direct representatives of the workers), so the trade union delegates in the firms were simply intermediaries between the staff and management. According to ICO this did not, however, mean that trade unions were degenerate, as Castoriadis thought they were. On the contrary, they formed \"very lively and efficient\" bureaucratic machines, which did have their uses for the workers. Beside the formal and distant trade union apparatus there was a second level: that of practical solidarity and group consciousness in different departments and places of work within the firms. The communal interest promoted there happened without the trade unions. In those places there was still autonomous activity, which should be supported by revolutionaries -- not as representatives of an outside party, but as colleagues. (56)\nICO did not want to play any kind of vanguard role; the only task they set themselves was the establishment of contacts between different (groups of) workers. ICO's paper was a means of transferring ideas; it was not distributed to propagate the ideas of a particular group, but to exchange information and experiences. ICO hung on for fifteen years. However, it became increasingly clear that the group was deceiving itself. For their paper was obviously not just a means of transferring ideas. Yvon Bourdet, who was himself an ICO member for quite some time, wrote:\n\"The militants of the 'I.C.O.' group [...] did not succeed in realizing their theory or their announced absence of theory; they could not reduce their own role to that of neutral information provider, which limited itself to announcing certain workers' struggles outside the place where they occurred; they knew very well that the stories they were distributing were not just any old stories. Would they have printed the story of a freshly converted trade union activist (except to mock him)? There can he no doubt that their trade mark censored their potential correspondents a priori.\"\nDespite their intention of maintaining an invisible role, the ICO activists could not prevent themselves from operating as the members of a group with some very specific ideas.(57) The only alternative to this situation would have been for the group to ignore its own aims and simply print everything, without any limitations. But this would have made nonsense of the group's aim to provide a voice for autonomous struggle. After the revolt of May 1968, when the membership of ICO grew explosively, this dilemma arose. Part of the new membership began to argue for activities which went further than the ICO advocated and the resulting tensions ultimately led to dissolution of the organization.\nSocialisme ou Barbarie steadily grew from 1958 onwards. Many public meetings were organized and the influence amongst Parisian students and workers at Renault grew. The paper Pouvoir Ouvrier, which functioned as an overall paper of the various independent workers' groups, did fairly well. Castoriadis did not, however, simply see this fortunate development as 'confirmation' of' correct opinions. His attitude concerning the opinions of the group, such as those which he himself had helped shape, became on the contrary more critical. By the middle of the 1950s he had already brought his doubts about certain important aspects of Marx's theory to the fore in a series of articles entitled \"On the Content of Socialism.\" At an early stage Castoriadis was critical of two particular elements of historical materialism: Marx's economic theory and Marx's position on technology The author of Das Kapital had assumed that in capitalism the labour power of the workers was a commodity, just like any other. By putting it this way, however, Marx had made a fatal mistake. For labour power does not have a fixed use and exchange value which may be objectively determined. The capitalist who buys a ton of coal knows how much energy he may extract from it assuming a particular state of technology; but if he buys labor for a month he can never be certain what the output of that labour power will be. For labour power is a human commodity, which can oppose its use. For the same reason labour power does not have a fixed - scientifically calculable -- price, since the height of the wage is not the result of invisible economic laws, but of the relationship of forces between capitalists and workers. What Castoriadis reproached Marx for was therefore that he had kept the concept of class struggle -- which was after all essential for him -- outside his economic theory, and had therefore not been radical enough. If one did include the concept of labour as a human commodity in the analysis, then all the other laws which Marx had formulated (labour value, increase in the organic composition of capital, tendential decrease of the rate of profit) would turn out not to be laws at all, but the more or less accidental result of relations of force and conflict situations. For a vision of socialism this criticism had far-reaching consequences. If there were no economic laws, then one could no longer maintain that capitalism would reach its end for economic reasons. The nature of history became unpredictable and every historical situation was by definition open.(58)\nIn traditional 'scientific socialism' the technological forces of production (machines) were regarded as an independent and neutral factor. The factory, for example, was described in Das Kapital as a peak of efficiency and rationality. Capitalist technology used in such a factory was simply the technology. The problem in a society based on competition and profit lay exclusively in the application of technology: in socialism other priorities in production would be set and the workers would themselves manage the factories. Castoriadis, on the other hand, did not regard technology as neutral; in this field, too, he discerned the problem of force relations and struggles. He regarded the continued splitting up of particular tasks (conveyor belts and the like) as a method used by management to increase their control over the workers. By exactly proscribing every bodily movement in connection with machines their independence could be further affected. Technology was, therefore, first and foremost class-technology. In socialism, a new technology should be developed, which enriches the labour process and increases the autonomy of the workers.\nFrom 1958-59 Castoriadis combined his earlier analysis of the main contradiction in capitalism (the contradiction between management and those actually doing the work) with his criticism of Marx's ideas about economy and technology. The new critical theory of society which grew from this assumed that the real contradiction of capitalism would no longer be sought in the economic area (the Marxist contradiction between the social form of production and private ownership of the means of production), but within production itself. In every firm and in every office, Castoriadis stated, there was a permanent struggle between the managers, who wanted to make everyone work as hard and as well as possible, and the blue and white collar workers who were alienated from their work. Management faced a very fundamental problem: it was impossible to formulate all-encompassing rules and regulations which prescribed all labour tasks for all personnel. A minimum space was always needed for improvisation and individuality, since there was no such thing as total knowledge of all people and all situations. This meant that a certain effort was also always required from the workers, an effort which went further than the official requirements. Hence the paradoxical fact that the production process stopped short in very short order, as soon as everyone did exactly what they're supposed to, according to management rules. This was also the explanation for the possibility of 'working-to-rule.' While management was forced on the one hand to appeal for the co-operation of the staff, it continually tried to limit this room for irregular activity. This was the reason for the introduction of 'scientific work organization' and similar experiments. But management would, by definition, never succeed in entirely reducing humans to robots. (59)\nWith these thoughts Castoriadis made a very real contribution to left-radical theorizing. The problem was, however, that Castoriadis positioned his theories in an interpretation of post-war capitalism which turned out to be untenable. He transformed the proposition that the economic contradiction was not the most vital into the proposition that there were no longer any contradictions in capitalism at all. And he changed the thesis that the tendential decrease of the profit rate was not an economic law into the thesis that capitalism had definitely conquered the economic crisis. In this manner Castoriadis, like so many others, became the victim of the illusion that the period of rapid growth which had started in about 1950 would continue indefinitely.\nIn 1959 Castoriadis circulated a text in Socialisme ou Barbarie in which he not only explained that capitalism had economically stabilized itself, but also that the living standards of the working class would steadily improve. He added that trade unions had become cops in the system, exchanging wage increases for the obedience of the workers; that political life no longer concerned the population and had become the concern of specialists; that the workers no longer participated in the actions of the workers' parties; that all of society was privatized. (60)\nThe 'right wing', as described by the Dutch Council Communists, opposed these new propositions. Its members could not understand how Castoriadis could still regard himself as a revolutionary, if he saw developments so pessimistically. Pierre Souyri, especially, threw himself at a study of the 'classics' (Hilferding, Luxemburg, Lenin, Bukharin) to show how capitalism could only continue to produce new economic crises. His conclusion was that in capitalist development long periods of economic recession varied with periods in which new paths of recovery were explored. The long 'depression' of 1874-1896 had resulted in modern colonialism and finance capital; the problem period 1930-1950 had resulted in an economy marked by extensive state intervention, which would itself run into problems. (61)\nThe discussions between Souyri. Lyotard and others on the one hand, and Castoriadis on the other, went on for many years. The gap between them became unbridgeable and led to the second split of the group in 1963. The 'orthodox' side took on the paper Pouvoir Ouvrier after consultation. This was not all that surprising in view of their continued belief in the importance of workers' struggle. Castoriadis, on the other hand, kept Socialisme ou Barbarie. Pouvoir Ouvrier was to continue publishing up to 1969.\nAfter Castoriadis had broken with the most essential positions of Marxism, he concluded in the period 1963-65 that the entire philosophical foundation of historical materialism should be rejected. In a series of articles on \"Marxism and Revolutionary Theory\" Castoriadis explained his considerations. (62)\nIn the first place he rejected the proposition that in human history economic development (forces of production and factors of production) is the most important factor, for a particular sector of society can never be more 'important' than another: \"One cannot say in general that the economy determines ideology, nor that ideology determines the economy, nor finally that economy and ideology determine each other, for the simple reason that economy and ideology [...] are themselves products of a particular stage (and in fact a very recent stage) of historical development.\" A general-genetic perspective was necessary: \"In the same jungle, separated by a few kilometers, two primitive tribes with the same weapons and tools, develop social structures and cultures which differ enormously from each other. Was it God who determined that it should be so, was a specific tribal 'soul' the cause? No, a study of the total history of both tribes, of their mutual relations etc., makes it possible to understand how the different developments have taken place.\" Marx's position on the 'primacy' of the economy and the forces of production was an incorrect generalization of one special historical case, namely the transition of feudalism to capitalism in Western Europe between 1650 and 1850, when an already well-developed bourgeoisie pushed aside the absolutist monarchy and the feudal remnants out of economic necessity. But this model of historical development was certainly not applicable to other places and times.\nIn the second place Castoriadis opposed the \"objectivist rationalism\" of the Marxist approach, which assumed that history was dominated by laws. If one accepted this thought, then individuals and classes in fact lost all freedom, for all of their deeds necessarily followed from the 'laws' of history. In fact history in no way developed rationally. It was a complicated combination of rationality and irrationality; human acts often led to unintended results which -- partially -themselves acquired a life of their own. There was an interchange between 'objective' logic, which ran outside the control of people, and 'subjective' logic, which flowed from the choices and deeds of groups, of people. That was why it was nonsense to suggest -- as Marxists did -- that \"the secret\" of history has been revealed. Such a claim was just as much beside the truth as the claim that \"we at last possess the secrets of nature,\" and itself led to misplaced elitist thinking:\nIf ultimately there is a true theory of history, if there is rationality at work in events, then it is clear that the leadership of development should be entrusted to specialists in this theory, to the technicians of this rationality. The absolute power of the Party [...] then has a philosophic status. He who strives for a new society truly based on workers' control should no longer base himself on Marx's historical materialism, but help work on a new theory and politics, which realizes that there is no such thing as a total view and leadership of history: Whoever wants to be a revolutionary can no longer regard himself as a Marxist.\nThe left-criticism of Marxism, which Castoriadis developed in 1964-65, had important consequences for Socialisme ou Barbarie, because on the inside Castoriadis was considered the \"brains'' of the group. The undermining of the trusted political-theoretica1 foundations resulted in a weakening of mutual ties; the lack of a 'programme' or concrete goal began to have a paralysing effect. Furthermore, growing doubts had inspired Castoriadis to philosophical, abstract' thoughts, which were not understood by many group members. The periodical had become the most important activity of the group, but was no longer the result of a collective effort. \"There was no longer a point to maintaining the magazine and the group under these circumstances.\" (63) In the middle of 1965 the fortieth and last issue of the periodical appeared. The subscribers and readers were, however, only informed of the definitive demise of Socialisme ou Barbarie in June 1967. The 'official' obituary, a leaflet, described the disappointment which had grown amongst the members of the group about the poor results of many years' work. Readers had not co-operated actively with the paper but had only consumed it; new members had joined not out of revolutionary conviction but out of social need; the French population in general was depoliticized. In this situation there was no longer any room for an organization like Socialisme ou Barbarie. The members would remain active but went their own separate ways. If the possibilities for a group or periodical were to improve once again, then they would be prepared \"to restart our enterprise on a firmer foundation and with a different relation towards those who have followed our work.\" (64) Nothing ever came of it.\nQuite soon after the founding of Informations et Correspondance Ouvri\u00c3\u00a8res, Claude Lefort had also parted with this group and left Henri Simon and others behind. After this he would never again become active in an organization. In order to understand this break in his life, it is important to point at Lefort's connection with Maurice Merleau-Ponty (l908- 1961), who had great influence on him from the beginning of the 1940s and was also a close friend(65). Merleau-Ponty, who is sometimes described as the philosopher of ambiguity and equivocality, rejected any kind of total thinking. According to him, it would be impossible ever to know all of reality, if only because we are part of that reality and help to influence it. A position 'outside' or 'above' the world did not exist; human observation was always only partial and always took place from a partial perspective. For this reason we see ourselves in everything that we see and every thought about the world is 'ambiguous.' In Merleau-Ponty's eyes Socrates, the tireless questioner, was the true philosopher, steeped in the provisional and incomplete nature of the truth. (66)\nOn the basis of this tradition of doubt and proper modesty in questions concerning 'the truth,' Lefort began to realize that his earlier discussions with Castoriadis had taken place within the wrong framework.\n\"Within the limits of a certain logic we were both partially correct and partially wrong. He [Castoriadis] was right when he said that self-rule does not entirely exist within the limits of the organs of places of work or industries, but should be realized on a scale which encompasses all of society. He was also right in saying that those who saw this not only had the right attitude for defending that idea, but also to attempt to reach that goal as well as they could; such acting further assumes that a course of action is determined, that a vote is taken on decisions, discipline, etc. I was right when I said that the relevant thing was not the concept of self-rule, the accompanying programme, or an anti-bureaucratic speech, but social practice, the real social relations which would be found in the Party -- which in its turn would, as soon as it had made itself the sole owner of that which is revolutionary and universal, would necessarily subordinate the struggle of the self-governing organs to its own strategy. I proposed that the party had an indestructible urge to consolidate and expand its position and that the ruling group within the party had the same indestructible urge to order, protect and consolidate its own position, quite apart from the ideas of individuals. This was the logical framework which had to disappear, the underlying assumption which had to be rejected.\" (67)\nBoth Castoriadis and Lefort had reasoned in their own way as if they stood outside the world and could disclose the 'truth.' They merely differed in their opinion about the nature of this truth. But would the discussion not take on a completely different character if one were to give up the pretence of 'total truth'? Could it not be true that precisely this striving for the truth was the ideological basis of modern bureaucracy, which attempted to subject everything to its 'generally valid' rules? It was in this direction that Lefort began to search. He still supported the struggle for self-determination, the building of democratic organs at a grass roots level, but he now tended to identify with decentralized thinking. He continued to support the struggle against the monopoly of power, knowledge and the means of production. But he rejected the idea that this struggle should be fought according to a general plan (with or without the Party) and that 'everything would change' after the revolution. From his own approach Castoriadis had reached the same conclusion. He too rejected the 'rationalism' which forms the basis of all thinking in terms of the absolute truth. (68)\nMay '68 brought Lefort and Castoriadis to the fore. Together with Edgar Morin -- a radicalized former Communist (69) -- they wrote May 1968: The Breakthrough. It was available in the bookshops as early as June. Of course, their ideas still differed. Castoriadis, for example, called for the formation of a new organization which could provide continuity and reinforce radical \u00e9lan, while Lefort was very cautious in this respect. There were, however, also similarities. The revolt had, after all, shown with dazzling clarity that a revolutionary spirit could come, just like Socialisme ou Barbarie had claimed, not just from the factories hut also from elsewhere. In all those places where there was a contradiction between management and executive labour -- at the universities where authoritarian administrators could decide the future of students -- radical opposition could grow. Lefort was especially impressed by the students, because they did not allow their struggle to be led by predetermined strategies or rigid organizations, but acted and spoke here and now. It was precisely this that Castoriadis regarded as wrong and one cause of the failure of the revolt. Of course he also dismissed the idea of a Leninist master plan, but he nevertheless thought that structuring the revolt would have produced more significant results.\" (70)\nI will not follow the further development of Lefort and Castoriadis here, although it should be noted that both developed their critique of the pretensions of all theory much further in the 1970s and 1980s. It also is remarkable that one of those group members who had opposed the political consequences of this line of thinking in the 1950s (i.e. Jean-Francois Lyotard) became a founding father of postmodern relativism in the 1970s. (71) Socialisme ou Barbarie's main achievement has been its fundamental critique of social hierarchy. On a practical level, this critique allowed the group to take workers' everyday experiences more seriously than most other political currents did at the time (although this \"view from below\" was male and factory centered). On a theoretical level, Socialisme ou Barbarie gradually radicalized its anti-bureaucratic opposition to the point where it finally revealed the inner connection between hierarchical structures and the category of absolute truth.\n1. I am grateful to Claude Lefort, Michael L\u00c3\u00b6wy, and an anonymous referee for their comments on an earlier draft of this article.\n2. Attention is generally focused not on the group as such, but on its prominent member Cornelius Castoriadis.

Besides Pierre Chaulieu he also later used the pseudonyms Paul Cardan and Jean-Marc Coudray.\n8. In a letter to the author, dated 19 October 1997, Claude Lefort writes: \"I created, or more accurately contributed to the formation of, a tendency in the PCI a short while after my 'official' admission (at the end of 1944), at my own initiative. [...] The reason for my initiative was the following. in my eyes it was stupid and suicidal to think of mobilizing the party around the program of a CP-SP-CGT government, since the CP was not a variety of reformism that would be 'swept aside by the masses' once it was in power, but a counterrevolutionary force whose objective was the same as the Soviet Party's. It was in this state of mind that I met Castoriadis (when he arrived in Paris). He immediately gave me his support and, as I have stated several times, his analysis of the relations of production in Russia seemed brilliant to me. We succeeded in obtaining one seat on the Central Committee, which like the Party itself was minuscule: it went without saying that 1 occupied the seat.\"\n9.

In practice the Trotskyist movement is substantially an organization for debate, with numerous congresses and conferences. The Chaulieu-Montal Tendency, although officially only founded in August 1947, presented its own positions at the following meetings: the third PCI congress (September 1946), the fourth PCI congress (November 1947), the preparatory congress for the World Congress of the Fourth International (March 1948), the Second World Congress of the Fourth International (April 1948) and the fifth PCI congress (July 1948).

As for me, I thought that our group would rot inside the Party. I left the PCI before the others. Among other things, I was very doubtful regarding the project of drafting a new 'Manifesto' and announcing a new form of revolutionary leadership. Also, even though I had contributed most actively to the break with the PCI, I did not contribute to the first issue of Socialisme ou Barbarie.

Material in Pannekoek's papers shows this to be untrue. In a letter to 'Chaulieu,' dated 3 September 1954, Pannekoek writes that his second letter was written with little care because he had no intention of publishing it (Pannekoek Archive, International institute of Social History, Amsterdam, file 108/3). Socialisme ou Barbarie did, though, print a reaction by the Dutch Council Communist Theo Maasen: \"Encore sur la question du Parti,\" SB, Nr. 18 (January-March 1956). Just like Brendel, Maasen (1891-1974) belonged to the Spartacus group.

An English translation of the article's first pan appeared as \"On the Content of Socialism, I,\" in: Political and Social Writings, I, 290-309.

In the same periodical there is a critical reaction by Ken Coates, \"Socialism and the Division of Labour. Some Notes on the Views of Paul Cardan,\" International Socialism 5 (Summer 1961), 18-23, in which Castoriadis' ideas on the possibility of avoiding a division of labour are described as unrealistic.

The closeness that Lefort felt with Merleau-Ponty is clearly shown by the fact that he wrote a subtle postscript for the last, uncompleted, work by his friend, Le Visible et I'lnvisible -- suivi de notes de travail. Texte \u00e9tabli par Claude Lefort accompagn\u00e9 d'un avertissement et d'une postface (Paris 1964).\n66. See, among others, Merleau-Ponty's Ph\u00e9nom\u00e9nologie de la Perception (1945), Humanisme et Terreur (1947), Eloge de la Philosophie (1953) and Les Aventures de la Dialectique (1955), all published by Gallimard. Beside the Eloge, which is more of a concise expose, these books all refer to political theory.\n68. Castoriadis, too, was influenced by Merleau-Ponty. He and Lefort therefore both delivered a contribution to the special issue which the periodical L'Are devoted to Merleau-Ponty.\n69. Until the middle of the 1950s Edgar Morin had been a member of the PCF. He headed Arguments, the magazine for 'doubters,' which appeared between 1956 and 1962, and also published in Socialisme ou Barbarie now and again.

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb Business \u00bb All You Need to Know About Manufacturing Data Management\nAll You Need to Know About Manufacturing Data Management\nBy admin / Category Business / Apr, 2015\nManufacturing businesses have to manage a lot of data. Cost sheets, data related to production such as inventory management and many other types of data have to be carefully managed. Most importantly, manufacturing businesses have to make sure that all the data is properly organized in case of an audit. If the data gets lost or mismanaged, the company could likely be hit with a fine. That is why appropriate manufacturing data management software is needed.\nIn the world of today, data management has been dramatically revolutionized. Previously, all the data related to manufacturing was recorded on paper. These documents were then filed in separate folders, which were kept according to a referencing system. However, the whole process was relatively slow. When a document was needed, the employee would have to find it himself or ask his secretary. Then, using the referencing system, the document would be retrieved. In an increasingly competitive industry, such forms of manufacturing data management have become all but obsolete. Here are some of the latest methods in use today:\nOn the Job Recording\nOn the job recording methods are a lot more versatile as compared to conventional methods. In this type of management systems, the data is recorded as soon as a job begins. For instance, the company records the amount of raw material purchased at the beginning of a job. The work is continually recorded throughout the length of the job, including once the finished goods are completed and the job ends. Managing such information is difficult, because of the large number of data that is churned out. The data collected from all of these minor jobs is accumulated and then filed in a larger collection, which details all the data for the year.\nMobile Data Management\nManufacturing businesses are becoming increasingly efficient. Introducing efficiencies in data management is a major part of that. To do this, a mobile manufacturing data management system is usually preferred. Mobile data managers are generally computerized programs that pull in data from third party systems. For instance, all the data recorded via a bar code scanner can be pulled in by the system. This data management system is pretty expensive to install. However, it also has a lot of benefits. Data accumulated from several sources is automatically organized and is uploaded to a database on the web.\nThis database is accessible through a mobile phone or a laptop from anywhere. All that a user requires is a password and username in order to gain access (usually given to business employees). The data can be retrieved within a few seconds after logging in, since these programs include sophisticated searching tools that can help you find the document you want by just typing in a relevant keyword.\nHow to Get the Most Out of Your Medical Weight Loss\t You\u2019ve probably tried it all, the aerobics, the diets, kicking the carbs, taking\nHow to Attract More Singles in Orlando\t Contrary to popular belief, the dating world is not hopelessly ruthless for the",

On the latter point, the activities carried out by CSE result in the availability to the government of about 200,000 reports a year, only 10,000 of which are actually produced in Canada.\"\nThe report also specifies that NSA alone \"produces in excess of 100,000 reports each year, most of which are shared with Canada.\"\nI'm guessing that the temperature in Hell would have to be pretty close to 0 degrees Kelvin for CSE's redactors to ever release a comparable set of numbers.\nMuch has changed since 1990, but it seems likely that CSE and its allies are still producing a similar or perhaps even greater number of end product reports every year.",

        "title": "Roe-ing Upstream: Vermont\u2019s Lopsided Battle Over Abortion Rights | Fair Game | Seven Days | Vermont's Independent Voice",
        "raw_content": "The elevation of Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court last fall has touched off a new round in the decades-long battle over abortion rights. In many states, anti-abortion lawmakers have introduced bills to restrict access. In other states, including Vermont, pro-choice lawmakers are seeking to protect reproductive rights in case the high court overturns Roe v. Wade, which established a nationwide right to abortion. Critics say the Vermont bills go too far.\nA House committee is considering H.57, which would enshrine reproductive rights in state law. The Senate has a similar bill, S.25.\nVermont's outnumbered anti-abortion advocates are planning a spirited pushback. \"There's a real fresh sense of anger triggered by this bill and similar bills in other states,\" said Mary Hahn Beerworth, executive director of the Vermont Right to Life Committee. The anti-abortion effort is almost certain to fail.\nThat may seem harsh. But the House bill had 91 cosponsors at last count. A mere 76 are needed for passage. And Beerworth is setting her expectations low. \"We're primarily trying to educate people,\" she said. \"It's up to the legislature whether they want to listen. We're just going to do our job.\"\nDemocratic leaders have made the issue a top priority. They say that while abortion is legal in Vermont, that's not enough at a time when Roe is in jeopardy. \"We need to establish a proactive right to abortion,\" said Sen. Phil Baruth (D/P-Chittenden), the lead sponsor of the Senate bill.\nOne could argue that a Vermont law is unnecessary. In a decision issued mere months before Roe, the Vermont Supreme Court threw out a state law preventing doctors from performing abortions. Still, leading lawmakers want to make certain that abortion rights are preserved.\nThe House bill would \"recognize as a fundamental right the freedom of reproductive choice.\" The Senate proposal would \"establish the right to have an abortion.\" Some states are considering similar measures. New Mexico and Rhode Island are considering the expungement of pre-Roe restrictions on abortion. Maryland Democrats plan to introduce a constitutional amendment to protect abortion rights. Such an amendment is being considered in Vermont, but the process is extremely cumbersome, so legislative leaders want to pass a law in the meantime. Last month, New York enacted a law easing restrictions on late-term abortions. The Maine legislature has passed a bill requiring the state to fund some abortions not covered by Medicaid.\nAbortion opponents have loudly opposed such bills in other states, claiming that the legislation would remove all limits to abortion. Beerworth echoed the argument, saying that the House bill would create \"an unrestricted right to abortion\" that \"goes well beyond Roe v. Wade.\"\nDuring a public appearance on Monday in Bennington, Bishop Christopher Coyne of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Burlington said he opposed the legislation. \"I wish House Bill 57 didn't show up. I wish it went away,\" he said, according to the Bennington Banner.\nSponsors of the Vermont legislation say their bills would not change the status quo. \"The intent is to codify current access to abortion in Vermont,\" said Rep. Ann Pugh (D-South Burlington), a cosponsor of the House bill. \"It does not change anything about what is currently allowed or how Vermont treats access to abortion.\"\nAs for the Senate bill, Beerworth is alarmed by this passage: \"A health care provider performing or assisting with a legal abortion procedure shall not be subject to any civil, criminal, or administrative liability.\" That sentence, she said, would \"lift abortion entirely out of the realm of malpractice.\"\nCoyne made a bold claim about both bills: that they would allow abortion \"right up until the moment of birth.\"\nSponsors say Coyne and Beerworth are ignoring a key point. \"This bill would not preempt federal laws,\" said Pugh. Those laws are guided by the Roe precedent and include, among other things, a ban on dilation and extraction procedures, dubbed \"partial birth abortions\" by pro-life groups.\nBaruth, for one, is open to amendments. \"The idea was to protect rights currently enjoyed under state law,\" he said. \"If a committee determines that [the Senate bill] goes beyond that intent, it can amend the legislation.\"\nThe anti-abortion community's efforts may be aimed at precisely one person: Republican Gov. Phil Scott. Some version of the legislation is almost certain to reach his desk. Scott has long favored reproductive rights, but in the past he has backed parental notification for minors seeking abortions. When he first ran for governor in 2016, the Planned Parenthood Vermont Action Fund spent roughly $450,000 on TV ads attacking Scott.\nDuring his reelection run two years later, the organization stayed on the sidelines after Scott posted a perfect score on its issue questionnaire. That included a \"Yes\" answer to the question, \"Do you support legislation that would guarantee full, unrestricted abortion rights into state law?\"\nNevertheless, Scott is not ready to commit to the bills now in play. At a press conference last Thursday, the governor repeatedly avoided a definitive answer. \"I am supportive of a woman's right to choose,\" Scott said. Then he added, \"I've heard from quite a few [legislators] who are worrisome [sic] about some of the provisions. So we'll let it go through the process, and we'll see where we go from here.\"\nWhen asked for clarification on Tuesday, administration spokesperson Rebecca Kelley wrote that the concerns center on \"unanswered question about the breadth of the language and the intent.\"\nCould Scott be persuaded to veto a bill due to \"worrisome\" elements? In his first term, he frequently vetoed bills because of perceived legal or constitutional concerns. But if he vetoed an abortion rights bill, he'd risk breaking his commitment to Planned Parenthood after the organization did him a solid by sitting out last year's campaign.\nIt's virtually certain that he'll have to make that decision in the near future.\nEthics Under Wraps\nIt's looking unlikely that the legislature will do anything this year to advance the cause of ethics reform for state government. The status quo is probably the best-case scenario, and a modest rollback is quite possible. Key Democratic lawmakers seem to view ethics enforcement as more of a nuisance than a public good.\nThis became apparent during a hearing of the House Government Operations Committee last Thursday. The panel accepted the first annual report of the Vermont State Ethics Commission \u2014 and peppered commission chair Madeline Motta with sharp questions. The main focus was the commission's advisory opinion about Gov. Scott's relationship with DuBois Construction, which he co-owned before taking office. Because DuBois frequently bids on state contracts, he sold his half-share to his former business partner before taking office \u2014 but he self-financed the deal. That leaves the governor with a long-term loan that comprises the bulk of his net worth and provides him with $75,000 in annual income.\nThe commission found that the arrangement did create a conflict of interest. It did not mention Scott by name, but the details were unmistakable: A \"public official\" who \"has a direct financial interest in his former company ... which paid the public official $75,000 in 2017 as the result of a financing deal that the public official entered into in 2016.\"\nThat's the governor, and no one else.\nThe opinion sparked concern among lawmakers \u2014 not about Scott's finances, but about the opinion itself.\nAdvisory opinions are supposed to provide general guidance to people covered by a code of ethics. They are not usually focused on a single case, nor are they usually a vehicle for outside entities. In this case, the opinion was crafted at the request of the Vermont Public Interest Research Group and released in early October \u2014 just a few weeks before Election Day.\n\"It's not clear [the ethics commission] had the authority to issue an advisory opinion at the request of an outside organization,\" said Government Operations Committee chair Sarah Copeland Hanzas (D-Bradford) in an interview after the hearing. \"It is clear they didn't have the authority to issue an advisory opinion specifically about one individual.\" Rep. Jim Harrison (R-Chittenden) went further, implying that the panel may have breached its own code by releasing the opinion.\nMotta argued that the ethics commission followed the law as written. She described its wording as \"loose\" and asked that the law be changed. The legislature is likely to concur, which would be a loss for transparency; the advisory opinion is the only function of the commission that is subject to public disclosure.\nThe commission has no investigative or enforcement powers. It is now seeking broader authority. If Thursday's hearing is any indication, its plea will encounter resistance. \"It seems clear that they have not grown into their role,\" said Copeland Hanzas. \"I'd hesitate [to expand its reach] until there's a better understanding of the authority they have in current law.\"\nCopeland Hanzas went even further, suggesting that there's little need for an ethics panel. \"We are a small state,\" she said. \"We have the Town Meeting tradition and avenues of contact between citizens and officeholders. We need to grow into this slowly so we're not going to unleash a crazy bureaucracy.\"\nLike the ethics commission, the House and Senate's internal ethics operate entirely behind closed doors. Both panels recently issued their required biennial reports. Both are a couple of paragraphs long and scarcely worth reading.\nThe Senate Ethics Committee met only once in the last two years. It received no complaints and took no action. Senate Minority Leader Joe Benning (R-Caledonia), chair of the panel, expressed a preference for a more informal process. \"In a body of our size, if there was anything questionable going on, the person would be talked to and the situation resolved,\" he said.\nNeat and tidy. And completely out of the public's view.\nThe House Ethics Panel received five complaints, all in 2018. It \"disposed of\" four and referred one elsewhere. And that's all the information you're going to get, folks.\nHere's a chat with panel member Rep. John Gannon (D-Wilmington).\nYou can't talk about the complaints? \"That's correct.\"\nWere there any general trends? \"I would prefer not to speak about the complaints.\"\nThe report says you disposed of four complaints. \"That's correct.\"\nWere there any positive findings? \"We resolved them.\"\nWould that include both negative and positive findings? \"That's correct.\"\nHe then explained that if the panel recommended sanctions against a lawmaker, the matter would be referred to the full House. I made one more try: Since it appears that no cases were sent to the House, does that mean the ethics panel did not recommend any punishments?\n\"Those are your words,\" said Gannon with a laugh.\nIn sum, the state's ethics procedures are shielded from disclosure. Lawmakers and state officials seem perfectly content with that. Whether it's consistent with the public interest is another question. Would you like to know if your representative was the subject of a complaint, and if so, how it was resolved?\nWatchdog Flags Ethical Issues With Scott's 2016 Business Sale 12\nby Taylor Dobbs October 2, 2018\nWalters: Planned Parenthood Won't Endorse in Gubernatorial Race 3\nFair Game abortion Brett Kavanaugh Roe v.

Photo courtesy of The New York Times.\n\u201cAre you ready, hey, are you ready for this? Are you hanging on the edge of your seat?\u201d The thrilling yet emotionally captivating movie Bohemian Rhapsody reached theaters on November 2, 2018. Grab \u2018Somebody to Love\u2019 and \u2018Bicycle Race\u2019 over to your TV to rent this amazing flick. \u2018Don\u2019t Stop Me Now\u2019, because we\u2019re going to give an overview of this film.\nBohemian Rhapsody incorporates a number of different themes, such as the development of Freddie Mercury (played by Rami Malek) and the story behind the formation of Queen and what came after it.\n\u201cI would recommend it because it pays tribute to one of the greatest vocalists to ever live. Not only was he an amazing vocalist but he is a big LGBTQ+ figure\u201d said Editor of The Rostrum Kassandra Marron who attends West Haven High School.\n\u201cI really liked this movie because of the variety of Queen\u2019s best hits that were featured as well as two Smile songs. It\u2019s a must-see for any musician or fan of Queen\u2019s music\u201d said junior Trevor Hitchcock.\nBoRap also incorporates some present day themes such as sexual orientation and the drama that big-time musicians deal with throughout their careers. For example, band members Brian May and Roger Taylor were originally in a band called Smile. However, their lead singer left the band due to complications. Coincidentally, Freddie Mercury literally joined their band five minutes later.\nThis film has unmatched rising action just like their songs. This makes it easy to point out some favorite parts of the movie. \u201cI\u2019d probably have to say when they performed at Live Aid at the end.\u201d said West Haven High School student Olivia Hauer when asked what her favorite scene from the film was.\nSomething that people might not know about Bohemian Rhapsody is that 20th Century Fox used real recordings from the Live Aid show in 1985 and remastered versions of their songs in the movie and in the soundtrack. This makes the scenes and movie as accurate to the real life version of this event as possible and enhances the experience for the audience.\nLike always, Queen never disappoints with anything they\u2019re involved with, whether it\u2019s music or the film making industry.\nPrevious Remembering Stephen Hillenburg \u2013 Creator of SpongeBob SquarePants\nNext Movie Review: Holmes and Watson Simple, Yet Funny",

        "raw_content": "\u201cYou don\u2019t value old people!\u201d The elderly deacon pointed his bony finger across my massive desk and into my face. I called upon every ounce of self-control to keep me from jumping out of my desk and using my pastoral authority to crush this misinformed aging leader who was so in love with the past that he could not see, enjoy or participate in the future of the church that I was now leading.\nAs I listened to the sleepy cadence of his tirade, the familiar voice of the Spirit broke in\u2026\u201cListen!\u201d So, I made a conscious decision to consider every insult and misevaluation\u2026because God said so. I listened to every difficult word and did not break in until the deacon confirmed that he was done. I responded, restraining every bit of emotion, \u201cI promise you that I will take your complaints before the Lord. Everything that He confirms, I will change BUT if He does not confirm what you have said, I am under no obligation to change a thing. Now, please excuse me, I have work to do.\u201d That ended our exchange for that day and I hurried off to meet the Lord in prayer, to complain about this deacon and his lack of respect for me, the pastor.\nI can tell you that the subsequent prayer time did not go as I had planned. I began to complain to God and He immediately stopped me. Point by point, the Holy Spirit confirmed much of what the elderly leader had communicated, even though when God recounted it, He added in the love that was missing from the deacon\u2019s exhortation. In any event, God used that confrontation to teach me some very important lessons about pastoring that I would like to share today, but first let me give you a little glimpse into what occasioned that meeting in the first place.\nMy pastor retired and he recommended me as the next pastor to take over the aging and declining congregation. I was full of ideas, vision and energy so when I was confirmed, my team and I hit the ground running. We brought in a whole new team of young and energetic leaders. We threw away all of the old hymnals and replaced the worship service with the new stuff. The old decorations were also thrown out and the facility began a steady remodeling project focused on erasing the old. My sermons even revolved around the theme that God was doing a new thing. We encouraged the people to be the new wine skins and not the old according to Matthew 9. Systematically, we changed the church from the ground up, convinced that we knew better than the old timers who already had their day in the sun. As a result of this sweeping change, this elderly leader gathered the courage to confront his new pastor.\nThe tragedy is that most young pastors make the same mistakes that I made and some never have the benefit of an elderly deacon confronting their agenda so they rarely, if ever, consider the damage of their actions. At the core of my faults was an underlying belief that the new was better than the old and a lack of appreciation for the work that went on before I got there. This mindset was cemented in pride that masqueraded as vision.\nIn order to shorten the blog, I will share the main thought that I learned through my struggle to implement God\u2019s new thing:\nThe new thing God is doing is merely the old thing repackaged for a new generation. I would often quote Isaiah 43:19: \u201cLook, I am about to do a new thing.\u201d Upon further study of that and similar verses in the Bible, I found that the new thing that God promised (and promises) to do, is ALWAYS the same old thing He has done. In context, Isaiah is reminding the Israelites of the Exodus and letting them know that a new Exodus will take place when God gathers His people from the nations to which they were scattered. So the new thing is an Exodus (similar to what He has done already). The newness (again, in biblical context) is that the Israelites are now coming from Babylon and the nations and not just Egypt and not through the Red Sea. This pericope finds further fulfillment in Christ but even this \u201cnew thing\u201d points to a universal Exodus where Jesus will gather his people from the nations. In other words, the new thing is the old thing repackaged for a new generation.\nApplying this to modern ministry, God is doing a new thing but the new thing is the same old Gospel, the same Jesus, the same mission and the same Spirit. What makes this thing new is the generation to which it applies and the varied methods and technologies that may be used to do the \u201csame old thing.\u201d This current generation, for example, has the blessing and challenge of using exciting new technologies, including social media to fulfill the same old mission that every other generation of believers has had the pleasure of participating in. And, by the way, they must mobilize the entire church, both young and old, to participate in the work.\nFor me and my situation, my stubborn pride caused me to believe that the perceived failings of this small community church lied in their stubbornness to cling to the past. However, when God (through the deacon) confronted me, I was forced to take a closer look at the church I now lead and find out what God was doing long before I arrived. I found that the \u201cstubborn old timers\u201d were far more faithful than any of the subsequent newcomers that pledged their short lived allegiance to my vision. These elderly saints had learned to listen, love and labor with a depth of allegiance that seems missing from many of our modern disciples. Yet, these were the ones I undervalued. It took me a couple of years to realize the value in the older generation and the depth they add to any congregation.\nI have had to shift my focus slightly to envision a congregation, dare I say, a family where young and old coexist and participate. Every congregation needs grandmas and grandpas and moms and dads; mentors who have lived long enough to illustrate by life and word the principles of the Bible. This model more closely resembles the biblical model where the older teach the younger. Unfortunately, this is not the modern model of church and ministry where the younger take over and they teach everyone else to do things their way as they systematically dismantle anything that came before them.\nMy warning to our young ministers is a reminder that we stand on the shoulders of those who have gone before us. The churches we take over were built by godly men and women who should be honored. We must value every saint within the kingdom and give them opportunity for fruitful ministry. This may mean that the worship service will include some hymns alongside jesusculture or Hillsong United. It may also mean that the organ and the hymnal stays but I encourage our young and zealous ministers to understand that one day you will be the old timer facing the young team of ministers who are trying to extricate every semblance of your hard work from remembrance. On that day, will you be content to reap what you have sown?\nTagged Church, Elderly, Isaiah, Ministry, New Thing, Pastoral Ministry, Worship\nPrevious A Life Without Regrets\nNext Love the Job You Hate\nOne thought on \u201cGod\u2019s New Thing\u201d\nh2owalkerlife says:",

        "raw_content": "In A World of Insta-gratification: A Review of the Documentary \u2018Social Animals\u2019\n(Movie cover art courtesy of Ravi Vora)\nWARNING: THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS SPOILERS AND CONTENT FOR MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY\n\u201cOn social media you can edit yourself to who you want to be. Meanwhile, in person, you\u2019re stuck with who you really are. But it\u2019s like a constant battle that everyone faces, whether they admit it or not,\u201d explains Humza Deas, a young photographer from the Bronx who became famous seemingly overnight from his Instagram account, @humzadeas.\nTeens Humza Deas, Kaylyn Slevin, and Emma Crockett are the three teenagers featured in \u201cSocial Animals\u201d\u2014a documentary exploring the highs and lows of life on social media.\nThe film, produced by NoFilterPicture, brings a unique perspective to the crisis of social media in our current age. In between the three-part storyline, there is a collection of twenty \u201cchorus\u201d members\u2014other teenagers\u2014who are surveyed on a variety of elements of social media.\nEven as a teenager myself, I was shocked at the way the generation responds to the sharing platform. The chorus of interviews followed a frightening pattern of self-absorption.\nIf I don\u2019t get 60-70 likes per hour, I delete it.\nPeople actually want to hang out with me now. Now that I post the pictures I post [bikini pictures] and I have the following I have.\nI took a shower. I blow dried my hair. I curled my hair. I did my makeup. And it took about an hour and a half just to get ready for an Instagram selfie.\nIt\u2019s a lot of pressure making sure that you look absolutely perfect in every single photo.\nDepicted within these interviews is a world according to the average teenager\u2014one that revolves around how perfect you look on through a screen rather than who you truly are.\nNow, according to them, the world consists of booty pics, DMs, and the number of likes one can get per post. No longer are teens fixated on being set apart from the crowd like the previous\u2014now it is a race to see who can conform the quickest to society\u2019s version of perfection.\nThis is a film any parent, teenager, educator, or church group should invest in watching. Although the filmmakers of \u201cSocial Animals\u201d are Christians, they chose to not (spoiler) edit the speech of those interviewed. This dialogue presents a realistic, and in many ways terrifying, explanation of what it is like to grow up in the age of social media.\nContrary to other documentaries that portray the glitz and glam, \u201cSocial Animals\u201d shows the extensive lows that come from an addiction to an online presence. These vary from Deas\u2019 isolation from friends after his first interview with news stations to Crockett\u2019s struggle through bullying, depression, and eventual suicide attempt.\nOften times pitfalls such as these in a subject\u2019s journey are overlooked\u2014skipping to the end to focus on their happy ending. However, \u201cSocial Animals\u201d does not conform to the norms. The lows are the most important part of the story\u2014purposefully being emphasized to warn the audience of the normalcy of these occurrences in our everyday life.\nIn a world where people are consistently hiding from their true selves via an Instagram handle to achieve \u201cperfection,\u201d it is imperative for our eyes to be opened to the story from the other side of the device. If no one is willing to become vulnerable about their struggles, how will anything ever get better?\nComing from someone who once was lost in the addiction of social media herself, if I had heard stories like this when I was younger, I might not have felt so alone. Although social media was created with the intention to connect us like never before, it has single-handedly disconnected us from our real selves. This documentary is taking back the original intention by using its connections to help others by building a community around vulnerability.\nThis documentary, in turn, serves as a cautionary tale for this generation for how far one can go from unnecessarily placing our value in the Instagram identities we have.\n\u201cSocial Animals\u201d will be released to VOD platforms this December.

        "raw_content": "Sprint sinks as regulatory uncertainty weighs on its T-Mobile merger (S, TMUS)\nReuters/Dave Kaup\nT-Mobile will acquire Sprint in a deal that values the combined company at $146 billion.\nCurrent T-Mobile US CEO John Legere retain his role at the combined company, which will keep the T-Mobile name.\nSprint tanked 12% as investors worried that the deal might not pass anti-trust scrutiny on the news, while T-Mobile US is down slightly.\nFollow Sprint's stock price in real-time here.\nShares of Sprint fell as much as 12% in early trading Monday amid growing concern the wireless carrier's proposed its merger with T-Mobile in a deal that values the combined company at $146 billion may not pass regulatory scrutiny.\nT-Mobile USA CEO John Legere made the announcement by tweeting a seven-minute video breaking down the merger, while also including a link to a website further explaining the combination. Germany's Deutsche Telekom owns two-thirds of T-Mobile, and will control the newly formed entity.\nThe announcement on Sunday marks the culmination of four years of on-again, off-again discussions between T-Mobile and Sprint \u2014 and was the third time the two rivals had tried to merge.\nWith 127 million customers between them, the two newly teamed companies are expected to compete directly with Verizon\u2014 the nation's number one carrier \u2014 and second-place AT&T. That's where the concern comes in.\nFor evidence that the deal which will combine the third- and fourth-largest US wireless carriers, is expected to come under serious scrutiny from antitrust regulators that, one need not look further than how fervently the Trump administration has opposed AT&T's proposed mega-acquisition of Time Warner.\nIn November, the US Department of Justice sued to block AT&T's proposed $84.5 billion takeover of the cable giant. President Trump himself said on the campaign trail in October 2016 that such deals would result in \"too much concentration in the hands of too few,\" and \"deals like this destroy democracy.\"\nHowever, Sprint and T-Mobile face a different challenge. While AT&T's proposed merger was a so-called \"vertical\" deal, in that the two firms aren't direct competitors and the new company would be vertically integrated to combined film/TV production with distribution, T-Mobile and Sprint are direct competitors and consumers will have one less competitive choice if the deal goes through.\n\"I think it's very hard to imagine DOJ just giving this deal a pass, given how much it would increase concentration in key segments of the wireless market,\" Gene Kimmelman, former DOJ official and CEO of Public Knowledge, told Axios.\nT-Mobile and Sprint's proposed deal involves T-Mobile exchanging 9.75 Sprint shares per unit of T-Mobile. Deutsche Telekom will own 42% of the combined company, while SoftBank \u2014 which controls 85% of Sprint \u2014 will own 27%. The remaining 31% will be held by the public.\nSprint's stock has surged 26% since the Wall Street Journal reported on April 10 that the two companies had rekindled merger talks. T-Mobile's stock has risen 8% over the same period.\nThe all-stock transaction values Sprint at 0.10256 per T-Mobile share, or $6.62 a share, based on T-Mobile's last closing price. That valued Sprint at around $26 billion. T-Mobile had a market value of $55 billion as of Friday's close, and the two companies have roughly $60 billion of combined debt.\nShares of Sprint are up 9% since the beginning of 2018, while T-Mobile is flat year-to-date.\nJoe Ciolli contributed to this report.\nSprint NewsMORE\nDemocrats question T-Mobile-Sprint merger deal\nEN, Japan Today 2d\nUPDATE 4-T-Mobile, Sprint executives face skeptical House panel\nGet real-time S charts here >>\nGet real-time TMUS charts here >>\nSprint-stock /\nNews for Sprint Sprint /",

        "raw_content": "I recently recorded a video for Willis Towers Watson about my experiences working in information security in the insurance sector.\nCompanies live or die by their security, and yet it is a hard problem to solve. Information security is full of talented people who like solving that that sort of challenge, but it\u2019s also full of people who want to challenge us.The threat changes minute by minute, the technology evolves daily, and the regulatory environment and client expectations move nearly as fast.\nThere are few right answers, and no absolute answers. It\u2019s all about finding the best answers for your business that will work as well tomorrow as they do today. The skills required change constantly to match, so you learn more in security than in almost any other field. That\u2019s a challenge too, but if you want to be involved in how technology is changing the world around us, security is key.\nTen years ago almost nothing was connected, and in ten years\u2019 time, almost everything will be. Whether that is good for the world\u2014and good for business\u2014will come down to security.\nFind out why the insurance sector is the place to be in infosec here: http://www.willisenviro.com/About_Willis/Working_at_Willis/MattPalmer/",

        "raw_content": "Our July 1998 issue featured one of our most unusual covers. Tim Olson wore the rocket engine that editor Richard Cunningham created in his workshop. Richard said he built the contraption so that it would actually work. We never tested his claim. If anything went wrong, we didn\u2019t want to risk the chance of having it burn down the building.\nTo pull off the shot, we had Tim Olson hold his position steady in our downstairs studio for the two stages of the photo. Then, we turned off all the lights and MBA\u2019s John Ker fired the camera, triggering the studio flashes. Then, for the second part of the exposure on the same frame of film, Richard stepped in behind Tim (with the lights still turned off) and fired a home-made flamethrower to produce the flames that would complete the picture. Once we got the roll of film back from the lab, we showed it to publisher Roland Hinz, who liked the shot so much that he selected it for that month\u2019s cover to go along with an article on \u201cRacing Rocket Fuels,\u201d which dealt with the possible benefits and potential risks of using natural health supplements to fuel one\u2019s mountain bike racing efforts.\nOn the way up: Australia\u2019s Cadel Evans raced the Sea Otter Classic in 1998. After winning the World Cup cross-country titles for 1998 and 1999, he moved on to racing road bikes, going on to win the Tour de France in 2011.\nJuli Furtado: Santa Cruz Bicycles named its Juliana bicycle line after her. She won the UCI World Championship titles in both cross-country (1990) and downhill (1992) and is the only rider in history, male or female, to do that. Juli also won three straight UCI World Cup cross-country titles from 1993 through 1995.\nLong-travel: The Foes DH Slammer was considered one of the top downhill bikes of the era. It boasted 6.5 inches of travel in the front and 8 inches in the rear.\nTop men: Miguel Martinez (left) and Rune Hoydahl (right) were two of the top stars of cross-country mountain biking in 1998. Martinez won the men\u2019s XC World Cup titles in both 1997 and 2000, as well as the Olympic gold medal for 2000. Hoydahl won five straight World Cup cross-country races in 1995, but never took the title. Hoydahl is the only elite-level rider besides John Tomac to score World Cup race wins in both downhill and cross-country.\nCannondale Super V 1000: Twenty years ago, the looks of many bikes were nothing like the looks of bikes today. If you had one of these Cannondale Super V 1000 bikes in good-to-excellent condition today, you could expect to sell it for somewhere between $250 and $300, according to BicycleBlueBook.com.\nSpecialized FSR Comp: It would take 10 more years before a top male cross-country rider\u2014namely, Christoph Sauser\u2014 would win the UCI World Championship on a full-suspension mountain bike (a Specialized Epic). Nevertheless, Specialized was already working towards that goal in 1998. Their top-of-the-line FSR bike weighed just under 24 pounds in 1998.\nThe Y-bike era: Trek\u2019s Pro Issue DH bike was one of the most unusual-looking downhill bikes of 1998. They\u2019re collector\u2019s items now. Trek reportedly only made 100 of them. Australia\u2019s Scott Sharples raced his on the UCI downhill circuit. Though he didn\u2019t win any World Cup gold medals on the bike, he did earn a silver medal in Big Bear, California, and a couple of bronze medals elsewhere.\nAmerica\u2019s best: Alison Dunlap was one of America\u2019s top cross-country stars in 1998. She\u2019d win the UCI World Championship in 2001 and the World Cup series title for 2002. She is the last elite-level cross-country rider from America, man or woman, to earn either of those honors.\nAnswer productsback issuesbike testcannondaleClifdown the trailDownhillDownhill racing\nManuel Fumic\u2019s Custom Scalpel Si",

For the second year in a row, Medical Alley\u2019s diverse healthcare ecosystem raised more than $700 million across the sectors of medical device, digital health, biotechnology and new care and payment models, and with major exits in each sector.\nIn 2018 $731 million was raised by 91 companies, nearly equaling 2017\u2019s all-time record of $759 million. Bright Health\u2019s $200 million raise led the way and was the largest fundraise in the Midwest according to VentureBeat. Bind\u2019s $70 million and Relievant Medsystem\u2019s $58 million rounded out the top 3. In all, 19 companies raised $10 million or more in 2018.\nMedical Alley\u2019s position as the leading medical device cluster in the world saw continued growth with $260 million raised by 48 companies, #2 in dollars and #1 in companies for the year. Medical Alley\u2019s digital health community captured the top sector spot in total capital raised with $320 million raised by 19 companies, a 5-year trend of significant increased investment in this sector. Medical Alley\u2019s Biopharma sector set its own record, breaking $100 million for the first time in Medical Alley history with $144 million raised by 18 companies. As healthcare shifts occur and value-based innovative solutions draw larger shares of investment capital, Medical Alley is demonstrating the strength of a diverse healthcare ecosystem that is providing increased investment opportunities across the spectrum of healthcare.\nMedical Alley\u2019s median deal size continued to increase for the 3rd year in a row and reflects a broader trend dating to 2012. Since then, median deal size has more than tripled.\n2018 Medical Alley activity included a strong showing for exits. Major deals included ABILITY Networks $1.2 billion acquisition by Inovalon, Inspire Medical\u2019s IPO on the NYSE, raising $108 million, the sale of NxThera to Boston Scientific for more than $400 million, and the acquisition of Rebiotix by Ferring Pharmaceuticals. The declared value of exits exceeded $2 billion with millions more in exits where the value was not publicly shared.\nAs has become common in Medical Alley, post-acquisition activity led to more investment and growth in the region. Shortly after being acquired, ABILITY Networks announced an expansion of its Medical Alley offices and the hiring of more employees. Ferring Pharmaceuticals elected to keep the Rebiotix team in place and invest in Medical Alley as their center for microbiome development. Boston Scientific spun Francis Medical out of the acquisition of NxThera and established it in Medical Alley to leverage the technology platform to move from treating of BPH to cancer.\nThe story to watch in 2019 will be increasing investments by companies and investors from outside of traditional healthcare and the impacts of broader consumer-focused technologies on the market. Medical Alley-based Best Buy acquired Great Call in 2018, which included Healthsense, a Medical Alley pioneer in using sensor technology and data analytics to detect and prevent health issues.\nOver the past 5 years, Medical Alley investment has become a leading indicator of advancements in health technology and significant shifts in the business model changes in healthcare. If you want to see where healthcare is going, follow the money. Medical Alley\u2019s more than 2.8 billion datapoints provides a clear path to an evolved healthcare marketplace with lower costs, improved outcomes and quality, and a very different way of doing business and delivering care.\nMedical Alley\u2019s Ecosystem Benefits from Growth in both Device and Digital Health",

        "raw_content": "Introduction to Vicki Lawrence\nWho is Vicki Lawrence?\nBorn Vicki Anne Axelrad, Vicki Lawrence is an Emmy-winning actress, comedienne, and singer, mostly known by her 11-year stint on The Carol Burnett Show until the program folded in 1978; afterwards, she starred on her own sitcom Mama\u2019s Family, which was based on her famous role fromThe Carol Burnett Show\u2019s sketch. As a singer, Lawrence could be classified as a one-hit wonder via the 1974 chart topper \u201cThe Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia\u201d. She also released a disco LP calledNewborn Woman in the late 1970s. Lawrence had other minor charting singles: \u201cHe Did With Me\u201d and her last, \u201cThe Other Woman.\u201d She presently lives in Los Angeles with her husband and two children.\nEarly life and successful stint on \u201cThe Carol Burnett Show\u201d\nActress, comedienne and singer Vicki Lawrence was born Victoria Anne Axelrad on March 26, 1949 in Inglewood, California. Even when she was younger she already had a flair for entertaining and performing. When she was in high school, Lawrence joined the performing group The Young Americans, where she remained until she finished high schools.\nA class valedictorian, Lawrence planned to take up a career in dental hygiene in the future, but her love of performing even made her to shift her college course into theater arts. However, she was already working on The Carol Burnette Show while attending UCLA, taking up a major of theater arts.\nShe actually applied for the job to Carol Burnette herself, sending her a newspaper clipping that showed an uncanny physical resemblance to each other. Lawrence even asked Burnett to attend the former\u2019s \u201cMiss Fireball Contest\u201d in California, which Burnett did. In 1967 Lawrence was hired to play as Burnett\u2019s onscreen sister. From there, Lawrence\u2019s career flourished; because her career was doing extremely well, she dropped out of college and pursued acting full-time.\nLawrence would stay with The Carol Burnette Show for over a decade. Her stint brought her numerous Emmy Award nominations, including one win \u2014 Primetime Emmy Award for Individual Performance in a Variety or Music Program in 1976. She also starred on other shows such as The Love Boat, Carol Burnett and Company, Laverne and Shirley as well as guestings as panelist on game shows including The $25,000 Pyramid and Super Password.\nAs far as her singing career is concerned, Lawrence started it when she was one of the contestants on the syndicated show Johnny Mann\u2019s Stand Up and Cheer. To further improve her singing, she even flew to Vietnam (along with radio veteran and TV producer Johnny Grant) to sing for the US troops.\nLawrence\u2019s singing career was not a prolific as her television career, but it was illustrious at one point. In 1973, she had a hit with a song called \u201cThe Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia\u201d which was written by her first husband, singer-songwriter Bobby Russell. It was also the title track of Lawrence\u2019s debut album, which was released on Bell label in 1973 (the LP went to #51 on the Billboard 200 album chart).\n\u201cThe Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia\u201d topped the Billboard Hot 100 that same year. It also reached #6 on the adult contemporary singles chart, and #36 on the country singles chart.\nHowever, her following singles only became minor hits \u2014 \u201cHe Did With Me\u201d in 1973 (#75 pop, #14 adult contemporary), \u201cShips in the Night\u201d in 1974 (#49 adult contemporary) and \u201cThe Other Woman\u201d in 1975 (#81 pop). In 1979 Lawrence even came out with a disco album, Newborn Woman, which featured a minor hit with \u201cDon\u2019t Stop the Music.\u201d\nNowadays, she has been mostly devoting her time doing motivational speeches and charity work. She\u2019s been married for almost 40 years to Hollywood make-up artist Al Schultz, with whom she has two children.\nVicki Lawrence \u2013 Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\nThe Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia Lyrics \u2013 Reba Mcentire\nThe Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia Lyrics \u2013 He was on his way home from Candletop Been two weeks gone and he thought he\u2019d stop At Web\u2019s and\u2026\n2shares Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Introduction Mike \u2026\nArtist Biography: Brewer & Shipley",

The Conference will give Early Career Microbiologists the opportunity to present their research, network and attend professional development sessions. Lee Sherry provides some background of his work developing novel polio vaccines, which he will present during his talk at the ECM Forum Conference 2018.\nPoliomyelitis, or polio, is a highly infectious viral disease caused by poliovirus (PV). PV mainly affects young children and is transmitted by person-to-person spread or, less frequently, by a contaminated water or food source.\nInitial symptoms of polio are common to a number of viral infections; including fever, fatigue, headache, vomiting, stiffness in the neck, and pain in the limbs. However, in a small percentage of cases, the disease causes paralysis, which is often permanent. If this paralysis spreads to the intercostal muscles which help us to breathe, PV can even be fatal. Unfortunately, there is no cure for polio, but it can be prevented by immunisation.\nPolio may seem like a distant memory to many people due to the success of the live-attenuated oral (OPV) and inactivated (IPV) vaccines, which have nearly eradicated PV worldwide. PV remains endemic in only Afghanistan, Pakistan and Nigeria. Although we are now closer than ever to eradicating PV, immunisation will need to continue for the foreseeable future to avoid the re-emergence of the disease.\nYou may be wondering when we already have such effective vaccines why do we need a new vaccine strategy for PV?\nDespite their success, both OPV and IPV have biosafety concerns regarding their use in a post-polio world. Therefore, we are currently working as part of a larger WHO-funded consortium alongside the Universities of Oxford, Reading, the National Institute for Biological Standards and Controls, John Innes Centre and the Pirbright Institute to produce the next generation of safer poliovirus vaccines for use in the post-eradication world.\nHere, at the University of Leeds, we have established a system to utilise yeast (Pichia pastoris) to produce virus-free virus-like particles (VLPs), which mimic the \u2018empty\u2019 capsids (ECs) normally produced in viral infection.\nECs are antigenically indistinguishable from mature virus particles and therefore VLPs offer a potential alternative to the current vaccine strategy. However, these naturally occurring ECs are antigenically unstable, switching conformation at low temperatures which makes them ineffective as a vaccine. To combat this, we have a generated a number of mutants which produce antigenically stable particles. We use a number of classical purification methods to isolate the VLPs from yeast before further characterisation. Importantly, we are able to show by electron microscopy that the VLPs look identical to ECs produced during a viral infection whilst using antibody recognition to determine if our particles maintain the same conformation as the current vaccine.\nOne of the key aims of our work is to produce a vaccine that is easily producible in lower-middle income countries, and will not only require the specialist equipment, but also the laboratory-based skills needed for vaccine production in these countries. For many of these countries, there is also a skills gap.\nTo understand the challenges of vaccine production in lower-middle income countries, in November 2017, Keith Grehan (another post-doctoral fellow in the Stonehouse lab) and I were fortunate enough to travel to Bangladesh with funding from the Microbiology Society.\nWe spent two weeks at Jahangirnagar University, teaching Master\u2019s level students laboratory techniques related to biotechnology and protein purification, with a special emphasis on the purification of VLPs.\nAs part of this training, we took over a variety of different equipment that were gifted to the University, so this training can be continued in the future by the current academic staff in Savar. Being involved in this training really helped highlight the importance of producing new vaccines that can easily be translated for production in lower-middle income countries.\nThis was a phenomenal outreach experience for me as we were able to experience science in a very different environment and hopefully helped offer some skills that these students will need to further their careers in the biological sciences. For anyone with an interest in scientific outreach, I wholeheartedly recommend the international development fund offered by Microbiology Society.\nOur Members Professional Development and Grants",

        "raw_content": "Covenant House Sleep Out: Support My Fourth Year\nIt\u2019s at about 2:00am that the cold really starts to get to you. Coupled with the incessant beeps of a nearby truck in the alley that seems to be perpetually moving in reverse, and the fact that there\u2019s nothing between you and the ragged asphalt of the alley but a layer of flattened cardboard, it becomes tough to sleep.\nIn sub zero temperatures I\u2019ve found that laying on my stomach is most effective for keeping me warm, but it leaves me vulnerable. Luckily, when I participate in one night of chilled, sleepless misery on the streets of Vancouver, there\u2019s a team watching over me with water, tea, coffee, and extra blankets. No matter how miserable I\u2019ve been in the middle of the night, during my last 3 years of the Covenant House Sleep Out, it absolutely pales in comparison to what local youth have to go through. Every day. Every night. But I just signed up to Sleep Out for the 4th year, because this small act has a big impact.\n\u201cSleep Out for one night so that homeless youth don\u2019t have to\u201d\nThe Covenant House Sleep Out takes place at Covenant House locations across the world, supporting local homeless youth so that they don\u2019t have to spend another night outside. Last year after I set up my \u201cbed\u201d in the alley, I hopped on Twitter and connected with people in New Orleans, Dallas, and New York who were also heading outside for their local Sleep Out.\nFrom Los Angeles to New York, Toronto to New Orleans and in other major cities across North America, participants will raise funds from their companies, colleagues, friends and family to support the life-changing work that is being done to help young people leave the streets and begin new lives. These leaders will draw the attention of the larger business community and our nation to the problem of homelessness among young people.\nPhoto by Covenant House\nCovenant House Vancouver provides support on various levels: Crisis Shelter, Drop in Centre, Street Outreach, and Rights of Passage.\n\u201cMany of the kids have lived with violence or the threat of violence for much of their young lives. Feeling safe is a right we all have but one these kids have not enjoyed.\u201d\nBefore we head outside on the night of the Sleep Out we usually split off into groups and speak with youth clients and volunteers. It is always encouraging to meet kids who went from being homeless, to the crisis shelter all the way through to Rights of Passage, Covenant House\u2019s program that prepares them for the bigger world.\nThose in Rights of Passage actually pay (an affordable) rent and get full access to programs provided that they have a job or they are in school. They end up learning basics like grocery shopping and budgeting, and once they are through the program (6 months to 2 years) they are supported when they eventually move out, even welcomed to return for the weekly communal dinners. The care just keeps going to ensure the youth become self-sufficient, gainfully employed, successful individuals.\nIn 2013, my first Sleep Out year, over 600 participants around North America slept out for their local Covenant House. They raised over $3 million. Vancouver had 5% of the participants but raised 10% of the funds.\nThis will be my fourth Covenant House Sleep Out and I would love your support. $10, $20, $50, any amount you can donate directly to Covenant House through my campaign page would be of significance. Whatever amount you can spare can truly make a difference.\nPosted in: BC, charity, community, Featured Post, vancouver\nTags: Covenant House Sleepout, events, non-profit",

        "raw_content": "/\u201dProcrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday.\u201d \u2013 Don Marquis\nTwo minutes to post a tweet. Three minutes grabbing another cup of coffee. Just five or six minutes checking a Facebook news feed. And suddenly it\u2019s the end of the day and you\u2019re looking at the hours gone by wondering, \u201cWhat did I actually do today?\u201d\nYou procrastinated!\nProcrastination is that nasty little word that convicts you and makes you feel like you and Sisyphus have suffered similar fates. It takes a number of forms:\nIt\u2019s the paralysis by analysis that leaves you deliberating simple decisions for far too long.\nIt\u2019s the sudden urge you get to delete the four hundred unread emails in your inbox.\nIt\u2019s the three quick calls you have to make before you finally settle in to do the day\u2019s work.\nBut more than anything, it\u2019s a self-sabotaging habit that keeps you from being productive and profitable.\nWhat are you waiting on anyway?\n\u201cThere\u2019s just not enough day in the day,\u201d you say. Well, friend, you have the same amount of time as everyone else.\nI know there\u2019s probably so much on your TO-Do list that you will never get it done. We are a culture of doers who take pride in being busy. But busyness and business are not the same thing. In order for you to be effective in your business \u2013 to make decisions, build relationships, make sales and eventually organize your stacks of dough, you have to develop the skill and the habit of organizing, prioritizing and executing the actions needed in order to make progress.\nSuccess is a habit. Making progress is a discipline. Procrastinating is the incremental undoing of both simultaneously. That\u2019s because the action being delayed \u2013 no matter how unpleasant it may be \u2013 is often exponentially more important than the action we took in its stead. So why would anyone engage in such a destructive and counter-productive pattern?\nThere are three main reasons why people procrastinate, according to Psychology Today.\nThe first reason we procrastinate is aversion. There\u2019s something in the queue that we just don\u2019t want to do. It doesn\u2019t matter if it\u2019s delaying another load of laundry, ignoring the need to make a difficult phone call, or being slow to start on tedious paperwork facing. Aversion is the quickest route to procrastination.\nThe second reason people procrastinate is they\u2019re not passionate enough about what needs to be done. There\u2019s no pull, no thrill, no compelling reason to move forward with purpose. In short, you don\u2019t care enough and it may be as simple as sitting down to define what you need to do, why you need to do it and what you stand to gain and lose by finally pulling the trigger.\nThird, we\u2019re easily distracted. The Digital Age has taken away our downtime and it\u2019s becoming increasingly difficult for us to stay focused on one thing at a time. We spend 14 unscheduled minutes engrossed in a text exchange about whether to stay in or eat out when the same conversation could have been handled with a 30-second phone call. For every interruption you experience, it can take up to 15 minutes for you to regain your focus.\nFix Procrastination\nThey say the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. Well, I don\u2019t know who \u201cthey\u201d is, but I do believe in facing challenges head-on. You have to spot procrastination just as it\u2019s settling cozily into your day. When you first consider the idea of doing it later, recognize where you\u2019re headed.\n#1 Take baby steps. The first tactic to use in your fight against procrastination is to make incremental progress. I use the five-minute rule. This one works well for household chores. Instead of spending the entire day in dread when I think about the dishes, I set the oven timer for five minutes and wash dishes for five minutes and five minutes only. I may not finish all the dishes in the time allotted, but any progress is better than no progress and I can always add another five minutes later. The beauty of this method is that you build intention-momentum and usually when the timer goes off, I\u2019m not quite ready to stop washing dishes, so I usually end up knocking the task off my list altogether.\n#2 Write your tasks down. Define and assign any nondescript plans that made their way into your consciousness but not onto your schedule. Planning is important to project management, particularly for projects you would rather not even do. Make lists, keep a planner, use a whiteboard \u2013 whatever you have to do to keep a running tally of what\u2019s been done and what remains in the queue. You can use task management software with time tracker functionality so you keep track of what you do and how long it takes you to do it.\n#3 Unplug. Eliminate distractions by limiting your access to information. If you don\u2019t absolutely have to check your email in the mornings, don\u2019t. If headlines on your MSN homepage distract you, change your homepage. If you\u2019re likely to answer a ringing phone, silence the ringtone on all calls except for any that originate from your spouse or your kids\u2019 school. Take control of your environment and reduce the temptation to get distracted.\nMake a commitment to yourself that you will work toward using your finite time and limited resources more efficiently in the future.\nTags: bad habits, personal development, procrastination",

        "raw_content": "The Legalization of Marijuana and What It Means to Addiction Treatment\nCanaan, CT\u2014Newly released data from Colorado revealing the lucrative nature of the state's legalized marijuana industry may prove tempting to other states considering the legalization of cannabis. Mountainside, one of the nation's leading addiction treatment centers, has concerns that lawmakers may only be looking at one side of this equation.\nAccording to Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper, the state is predicting tax revenue from the sale of medicinal and recreational marijuana to reach $51 million by the end of its current fiscal year, which ends June 30, 2014. Estimates for the state's upcoming fiscal year are set to eclipse $134 million, far exceeding the state's original expectations. With these numbers, legalized marijuana could easily become a billion-dollar business should more states approve its medicinal and recreational use. Currently, 15 states have approved the use of marijuana strictly for medicinal purposes while recreational use of the drug has thus far only been legalized in Washington and Colorado.\nThe economic potential of legalized marijuana, as proven by the higher than expected revenues in Colorado, could be very attractive to state leaders looking for ways to improve their regional economies. But, despite the lucrative possibilities, there also resides an increased potential for the development of serious drug addictions in those who use the drug for recreational purposes.\n\"In reviewing the data released by the state of Colorado, of primary concern are the numbers estimated for the recreational sale of marijuana over those assigned to medicinal sales,\" stated a Mountainside spokesperson. \"With recreational purchases making up nearly ninety percent of all marijuana sales in Colorado, we can almost certainly expect an increase in other, more dangerously addictive drugs being used as more and more people become introduced to marijuana via legalized recreational consumption.\"\nIn a 2003 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), it was estimated that \"individuals who use cannabis by the age of 17 are 2.1 to 5.2 times more likely to try other drugs or suffer from alcohol dependence and/or drug dependence compared to those who do not use cannabis before age 17.\" This study went on to note that while there is minimal scientific evidence of marijuana being a gateway drug, \"early access to and use of cannabis may reduce perceived barriers against the use of other illegal drugs and provide access to these drugs.\"\n\"Over the last sixteen years, Mountainside has helped more than six thousand individuals improve their lives through the use of advanced, customized treatment plans. In order to determine the exact needs of each client, we conduct thorough pre-admission consultations and in doing so, we have found that the recreational use of marijuana has persistently proven to be among the most common instigating factors in the progression to using stronger, more addictive drugs,\" explained the Mountainside spokesperson. \"It is our hope that state legislators carefully consider all aspects concerning the legalization of marijuana rather than making decisions based simply on revenue potential.\"\nIf you or someone you love is suffering from a drug or alcohol addiction, Mountainside Treatment Center can help. Mountainside utilizes evidence-based treatment programs and holistic mind, body, spirit wellness techniques to help encourage longer-lasting, more effective recoveries. Drug addiction is a progressive disease and it will worsen the longer it goes untreated. Get the help you need now \u2013 call Mountainside today at 800-762-5433.",

        "raw_content": "Celebrate Music In Our Schools Month\u00ae: Ideas for Early Childhood and Elementary Music Classes\nMarch is the official month designated by the National Association for Music Education (NAfME) for the observance of Music In Our Schools Month\u00ae (MIOSM\u00ae). This event first occurred as a statewide celebration in 1973. From there, it grew to become a day, then a week, and now a month-long celebration. The purpose of MIOSM is to raise awareness of the importance of music education and to remind everyone that schools are where all children should have access to music. In 1985, NAfME started The World\u2019s Largest Concert as a highlight for MIOSM. This concert is a sing-along that has reached an estimated six million students, educators, and supporters of music. In 2012, the concert became known as the Concert for Music in Our School\u2019s Month. To learn more about participating in this concert, click here. However, there are other ways to celebrate MIOSM. Here are a few ideas that I have used and some that I discovered by reading posts from numerous music educators through social media.\nAt the beginning of each month, I teach a Parent and Me music class at my school for the younger siblings who are not old enough to enter the PreK program yet and for those young children in the community. This class is for children ages six months to three years. During the month of March, I am going to give the parents a CD of the songs (public domain) and lullabies that we have been singing in class. The CD cover will have Music In Our Schools Month on the label. This will help the parents reinforce the songs by playing the CD (or uploading it to their streaming service) in the car or around the house. It reminds the parents how music can have so many positive effects on their children from soothing their crying, to lulling them to sleep, to them becoming tuneful, to so much more.\nIn the same respect, one can text the parents a MIOSM text that includes links to websites that have recordings of songs, links to information about MIOSM, links to music books, links to children\u2019s song books, and links to wonderful recordings that the parents could purchase to play for their children from classical to contemporary.\nSince MIOSM is about music advocacy, I always tell those in my music education workshops that if there is a way that music educators can get their music classrooms onto the parents\u2019 smartphones, then the advocacy for music education will quickly follow.\nBulletin Boards: The first place to begin is to update your current bulletin board (if you are on a cart, then a bulletin board within the school) with a MIOSM theme. This theme could include any of the following: Students\u2019 and teachers\u2019 favorite songs, student compositions, students\u2019 and teachers\u2019 favorite composers, students\u2019 drawings to music, students\u2019 and teachers\u2019 reflections on what music means to them, a survey from the teachers that shows their musical backgrounds from instrumental to dance to vocal, and so much more. The possibilities are endless.\nGetting Teachers Involved: Expanding from the bulletin board idea, ask teachers to participate in MIOSM. Have them post a music note on their classroom door to show support for music in the schools. I adored an idea I read where a music educator asked the teachers to hang a poster in support of MIOSM and if they did this for the entire month, they would receive a small prize.\nSing-Alongs: If you could not participate in the Concert for Music in Our School\u2019s Month, then there could be the option to hold a school assembly sing-along to raise awareness of MIOSM. This sing-along could have a variety of songs from patriotic, to folk, to previous concert songs, to pop songs, to anything you think that your students would enjoy singing. In addition, open up the sing-along to invite the local community into the school to enjoy it as well. You can turn the sing-along into a wonderful concert event where between the songs, you continuously talk about music in our schools. I do this at the beginning of each school year for the students in grades kindergarten through five and it is a great success. I sing and play piano, while my good friend accompanies me on the drums. However, if you prefer not to play live, make a playlist of the songs and have the audience sing along with the recordings. In addition, make a simple powerpoint for the lyrics so that they all can see them and sing along with them.\nPerformances: If you cannot invite your community or parents into your classroom for an informance, then record your class performing a musical activity. This could vary from performing an Orff arrangement on Orff instruments, to performing a recorder piece, to performing a movement activity, to the students singing as they accompany themselves on ukuleles. If it is possible, post the recording (audio or video) on the school\u2019s website or email or text the parents a link where they can view the video or audio recording.\nCommunity: Along with the sing-along listed above, survey the teachers and community to research their musical backgrounds. Invite them to join in on a musical activity by singing along with the students or accompanying/playing along with their instruments.\nBring Your Parent to Music Class: Every winter, I invite the parents (or relatives) of my students in grades PreK through one to come to music class and experience the class with their child. During this class, we sing, perform movement activities, perform on classroom instruments, read music, and experience cross-curricular connections. I have been doing this since 2007 and the parents look forward to this event every year.\nSchool\u2019s Sounds System: Play music over the school\u2019s sound system every morning during MIOSM.\nPrizes: Through the school\u2019s communication system, whether it be a website, email, or placing a display by the front door of the school, create a musical trivia game where the students, teachers, and parents can answer questions to win small prizes.\nCross-Curricular Connections to MIOSM:\nReading: One of my favorite activities from one of the Orff workshops I attended, was reading, moving to, acting out, and performing on instruments to Robert Munsch\u2019s book, Mortimer.\nWriting: Have your students write a poem about music and use GarageBand, SoundTrap, Soundation4Education, or Incredibox.com to create and accompaniment for the poem. Give the students guidelines so the poem stays more on the serious side, and video the students creating and performing the musical poem.\nArt: Create a coloring sheet about MIOSM and music advocacy for young students to color and take home.\nWhat about spring break or testing?\nFor many private schools, spring break occurs during the month of March. For many public schools, standardized tests occur during this month as well. Though March is the official MIOSM, truly any month can be dedicated to music in our schools. Therefore, pick the month that best works for your curriculum and promote it.\nWhere can we get more ideas?\nThere are numerous places to find ideas for MIOSM. Here are a few:\nNAfME website: http://www.nafme.org/programs/miosm/music-in-our-schools-month-miosm/miosm-activity-ideas/\nFacebook Music Teachers Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/musicpln\nFacebook I\u2019m a General Music Teacher Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/generalmusic/\nPinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/\nPublishers have given out free resources during MIOSM\nTeachers Pay Teachers: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/\nThough every month is MIOSM, it is wonderful to see our national organization promote this month and to bring awareness to music advocacy.

        "raw_content": "Three recent developments could help to spur investment in sustainable power and accelerate the move to a new energy system. First, one of the world\u2019s most powerful investors called on some of the largest companies to do more to \u201crespond to broader societal challenges.\u201d In his 2018 letter to corporate heads, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink warned companies to understand the ways broad, structural trends, including climate change, would affect company growth potential.\nAt about the same time, New York City announced its goal of divesting its $5 billion holdings in oil companies from its pension funds. The announcement follows other states and municipalities in California, Texas and New England that have either divested in fossil fuel makers, written policy that promotes renewable energy or done both.\nThe third development is the rise of megastorms such as Hurricane Irma and Harvey. The storms helped to make 2017 a record year for insurance payouts\u2014about $135 billion--linked to natural disasters and other catastrophes, according to global reinsurer Munich RE.\nAs thousands are expected to gather to celebrate Earth Day later this week, we ask, can there be a better time to invest in renewable energy?\nTurning point for renewables\nWe are at a turning point as the devastation wrought by natural disasters and the dramatic cost reductions of renewable power, batteries and electric vehicle fleets are accelerating a move to a new system for energy.\nPromising innovations point to a path forward. In \u201cThe Sunny Optimism of Clean Energy Shines Through Tech\u2019s Gloom,\u201d Wired Magazine highlights innovations such as microgrids, solar + storage tech and renewable energy calling clean power \u201cthe new Silicon Valley\u2014filled with giddy, breathtaking ingenuity and good news.\u201d\nPanasonic plays a technology and manufacturing leadership role in the falling prices and improving performance of developments in this energy future: solar power generation, batteries used in both vehicles and for power storage and electrified driving. We may be best known for its lithium-ion batteries powering the world\u2019s best known electric vehicle brands. In EVs, we are playing a leadership role applying manufacturing scale and technology improvements to the dramatic cost reduction in cylindrical battery cells. We\u2019re making similar progress with prismatic batteries.\nManufacturing solar roof tiles with Tesla\nSolar technology and manufacturing developments show similar promise in their ability to power the new energy future as battery tech. For instance, in Buffalo, New York Panasonic is collaborating with Tesla in the production of solar cells for building roof tiles\u2014a product that integrates high-efficiency photovoltaics with roofing materials.\nWe\u2019re also working with Toyota Motors on solar tiles for autos. Last year the global vehicle maker began using our HIT Photovoltaic for autos on Toyota Prius plug-in hybrid vehicles. These auto roof panels have a high output (approx.180 Watts) enabling them to charge the car\u2019s lithium-ion batteries and 12 V batteries, resulting in a possible extension in travel distance and increased fuel economy.\nBuilding energy diversity\nDiversification of sources is critical to the sustainability and security of a new energy system. Hydrogen is drawing attention as an alternative to fossil fuels and nuclear power. It is the most abundant element in the universe and reacts with oxygen to generate electricity. And because the only substance created during this process is water, it is very clean. For over 20 years, Panasonic has conducted R&D on hydrogen energy. It has commercial projects in Japan and Europe and sees promise in North America.\nWe\u2019ll have more on decarbonized and in demand innovation in upcoming blogs.\nJeff Howell - President of Panasonic Industrial Devices Sales Company of America",

        "raw_content": "Our Sunflower Oil is certified organic, kosher certified, and non-GMO project verified. The oil is expeller pressed and refined from the seed of the sunflower.\nSunflower oil is rich in essential fatty acids and vitamin E. It deeply hydrates the skin, supports the skin barrier, reduces transdermal water loss, reduces inflammation, and promotes healing.1, 2, 3, 4, 5 The oil is popular for healing wounds, and for treating psoriasis and arthritis.6\nSunflower is also a great oil for those with acne prone skin due to the fact that it is high in linoleic acid. One theory of acne is that people with acne-prone skin have higher levels of oleic acid in the skin's sebum (natural oil), which contributes to breakouts.7 Another study found that directly applying linoleic acid to affected areas was effective at reduced small breakouts.8 Oils high in linoleic acid are also generally less thick, which is great for people with oily skin concerns. These oils are also effective at reducing the appearance of sunspots, or UV-induced hyperpigmentation.9\nEichenfield L.F., McCollum, A., Msika, P. \"The benefits of sunflower oleodistillate (SOD) in pediatric dermatology.\" Pediatric Dermatology. 2009 Nov-Dec; 26(6):669-75. doi: 10.1111/j.1525-1470.2009.01042.x.\nDanby SG, AlEnezi T, Sultan A, Lavender T, Chittock J, Brown K, Cork MJ. \u201cEffect of olive and sunflower seed oil on the adult skin barrier: implications for neonatal skin care.\u201d Pediatric Dermatology (2013): 42-50.\nDarmstadt, G.

Fuel cells are expected to play a key role in a future sustainable society. In order to improve the kinetics of the oxygen reduction reaction and reduce the Pt loading, we need to develop more efficient catalysts. This can be achieved by modification of the geometric structure (atomic ensembles) and/or alteration of the electronic properties of the surface atoms (electronic effects). First, I will address atomic ensemble control by using a self-ordered molecular pattern [1]. Secondly, I will focus on electronic effects by alloying Pt with lanthanides [2,3]: by using the lanthanide contraction, we can control strain effects and tailor the activity of Pt alloys [3].\n[1] Strmcnik, Escudero-Escribano et al., Nat.

        "raw_content": "Wealth gap in Canada far worse than people think\nJenny Uechi / Vancouver Observer\nCanadians vastly underestimate the wealth gap in Canada and want a much more balanced distribution, according to The Wealth Gap, a new report by the Broadbent Institute.\nAccording to the poll of 3,000 Canadians, the ideal wealth distribution would see a healthy middle class with 60% of Canadians in the middle owning roughly 60% of the wealth. The richest 20% would be three times richer than the poorest 20%, who would still own a significant share of the pie -- 11.5% compared to 30.3% for the wealthiest fifth. Conservative-leaning Canadians also agreed with this distribution, the survey said.\nCanadians think the actual distribution of wealth in the country is much more unequal than the ideal, the survey shows. People think the richest 20% in Canada own 10 times the wealth of the poorest 20% -- 55.5% of the wealth compared to 5.8%.\nBut the reality is much worse than Canadians imagine. The richest 20% in fact hold 67.4% of all wealth, while the poorest 20% control virtually no wealth at all.\nOther key findings of the survey, conducted by Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Canada on behalf of the Broadbent Institute, include:\nCanadians think the middle 20% hold 13.5% of all wealth, but should hold 23.7%; their actual wealth distribution totals only 9%.\nIdeally, the bottom 40% would hold 25.6% of all wealth, but they hold only 2.2% in actuality.\nWhen asked about income inequality, four out of five (80%) say the gap between the rich and everybody else has increased over the last 10 years, including 76% who voted Conservative in the 2011 election. Overall, 86% of Canadians think the gap is a problem, including 74% of Conservative voters.\nWhen asked if they think government policies and programs can do something to reduce the gap, three in four (73%) Canadians believe government can do something to reduce it.",

        "title": "NBA Playoffs: If the Lakers are inevitable, do you want them early or late? \u2013 ProBasketballTalk",
        "raw_content": "NBA Playoffs: If the Lakers are inevitable, do you want them early or late?\nBy Matt MooreMar 29, 2010, 1:58 AM EST\nTake a look at our NBA\u2019s Race to the Playoffs. Go on. Acquaint yourself. It\u2019s a mess. Particularly the Western Conference.\nThere are seven teams that could end up in the 8th spot, staring down the Lakers (we\u2019re tossing out the Grizzlies, love them as I do. No way anyone\u2019s going in the tank like they need them to). Denver, Dallas, Utah, Phoenix, San Antonio, OKC, Portland. Any one of them could wind up under the crosshairs of the defending champions.\nOne of the things Greg Popovich has talked about extensively is the imperative of avoiding that eighth seed, of not ending up in a tussle with LA in the first round. It\u2019s a fairly easy idea. Try and avoid the best team as long as possible, hope someone else does the dirty work for you, hope they get tired, hope they get banged up, go as far as you can, get as much playoff money as you can, stay away from the big, bad Lakers.\nAnd pardon me if I sound like Owen Wilson in The Royal Tenenbaums (\u201cWhat this book presupposes is\u2026 \u2018What if he didn\u2019t?'\u201d), but I do keep having the same thought.\nIsn\u2019t it better to get LA sooner rather than later?\nHear me out. LA has shown three things this season. One, when they\u2019re plugged in, they can beat anyone in the league, with only the possible exception of Cleveland. Two, they are prone to long periods of boredom and uninspired play. Three, they don\u2019t respond well to adversity, often going into the tank if it feels like things aren\u2019t going their way.\nDon\u2019t believe me? Take a look at the Rockets series last year, going seven games without Yao Ming for much of it. Or take a look at the blowout to OKC, or the Cleveland games. They have a counterpunch, but if that counterpunch is met and matched, they struggle to trade blows.\nSo why not try and get them early? Imagine this scenario. The Spurs get the Lakers in round one. The mighty Lakers, facing a Spurs team that\u2019s given them some trouble, but really, hasn\u2019t been all that good this year. And the Spurs come out, and unload in Game 1. Drop everything they possibly have. Empty both barrels.\nNow, obviously the Lakers will respond, because when put in a corner, they fight back. Because nobody puts Baby Gasol in a corner. The Spurs should rope-a-dope Game Two. Let \u2019em have it. Lay down. Let them go up by 30. Get comfortable. Allow them to blow you out completely. Because giving them that confidence is a good thing. You want them thinking the first game was a fluke and they have it on lockdown. Because if you can respond in Games 3 and 4, you can push them.\nIsn\u2019t that a better approach for any team, not just the Spurs? Dallas, Phoenix, Portland, any team with playoff experience. Face the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals and they have their playoff legs under them. Kobe smells that fifth ring. Your guys are tired. And the Lakers are expecting you. And if you lose, well, you were going to lose regardless.\nGive yourself the best chance. Go at them early. Don\u2019t run from the Lakers. Draw the line in the sand, and challenge them to maintain focus in April, not May and June, when they\u2019re used to it. It\u2019s a risky scenario, but given the success they\u2019ve had, the talent, the advantages, isn\u2019t it time to think outside the box a bit?",

CDG is a most interesting choice not only because the creative genius behind the label is extremely reclusive but the designs have always been controversial, in many cases, very extreme sometimes unwearable (until you look at the individual pieces!) There has been and will be numerous articles written about the upcoming exhibition, which opens on May 4th and runs through September 4th, with the Party of the Year on Monday, May 1st. In the meantime, you can see some of Kawakubo\u2019s genius displayed in the Merce Cunningham exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, but you must hurry it is closing on Sunday, April 30th.\nA shot from the Merce Cunningham exhibition featuring some pieces from Comme des Gar\u00e7ons designs for one of the Cunningham magical dance pieces.\nI am not going to attempt to analyze the designer, the Fall 2017 collection nor the exhibition obviously I haven\u2019t seen it. What I wanted to talk about today are the Japanese designers I have worked with over the years.\nFirst up, Hanae Mori.\nRichard Avedon photograph\nI worked with her in the 1970\u2019s at a show to benefit the Illinois Children\u2019s Home and Aid Society, always the first social event of the fall season and always a black tie evening event. We, Saks Fifth Avenue, Chicago, had produced this event for many years (actually it was the first major show I worked on when I started in the fashion office and we showed the Sophie of Saks Collection for many years until she no longer designed). Mrs. Mori was the first designer after Sophie that we featured. I remember she and her husband, Ken, were staying with hosts in the Northern suburbs and I went to their home to meet the Moris. They couldn\u2019t have been more charming and gracious. Mrs. Mori spoke very little English, her husband translated for her. The collection we featured was bold in color and pattern, most certainly inspired by the Japanese culture, the kimono, and flowers, all done in silk. All her fabrics were woven, printed and dyed especially for her and the Japanese symbols of feminity\u2026butterflies and flowers\u2026were used extensively in her prints which you can see in the two photos illustrated below. It was truly magnificent and very well received by the audience. She was the first Japanese woman to show on the runways in Paris and New York, in 1977 she took her couture collection to Paris and was the first Japanese woman to be elected to the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture.\nLooks that would have been in the Show.\nBarbie in one our her especially made designer gowns, this evening costume from Hanae Mori.\nKenzo in the 1970\u2019s. Photo credit unknown.\nYou can see the joyous color combinations and mix of print. Very innovative for the times. Look at today\u2019s fashion and THE look is a mix of pattern and colors\u2026everything old is back again!\nKenzo was a huge designer in the early 1970\u2019s and we were very excited that he was coming to Chicago to present his collection. At the time I helped style the interiors and windows as well as doing all the fashion shows and special events. I loved dressing the mannequins and we had an amazing team headed by Joe and Alma Kreis. Henry Callahan, the Saks Corporate head of Visual, was the BIG name in the world of display, (aka visual merchandising), he did the White House Christmas decorations for years and years and there was no one more admired (and feared) or talented in the industry. Needless to say, when he came to Chicago we were all on our best behavior. For some unknown reason, he had taken me under his wing when we opened the Saks Fifth Avenue store in the Old Orchard Shopping Mall and we would always go to lunch when I was in New York. To make this long story even longer, Mr. Callahan and some of his New York assistants came to Chicago to oversee the installation of the windows for the Kenzo visit. We had many windows fronting Michigan Avenue (Saks was located at 669 North Michigan Avenue at that time) and we were featuring a very long (it went from one window to another) dragon to form the background for the extremely colorful prints that were a Kenzo trademark. We must have worked on the windows for a week until everyone was satisfied that they would be showstoppers\u2026.which they were! Again, Kenzo proved to be a gracious, fun-loving, hip designer of the swinging times. The event was a huge success and garnered Saks a new contemporary client along with the established society women of the time.\nThe playfulness of Kenzo at the beginning of his career.\nA recent photo of the elegant Kenzo in front of his current love, painting, isn\u2019t it glorious!\nOne of my favorite books in my extensive fashion library. How clever that you can choose one of the four prints. Mine is the bold turquoise.\nWe were very fortunate, in Chicago, to have our own Japanese designers become superstars. Noriko Nishi, was born in Japan and moved to Chicago when she married Dan Chuzo Nishi. She had attended design school in Japan and continued her education at the Ray Vogue School of Design in Chicago (a story unto itself!!!) and made clothes for herself (a size 0) and her friends. Unfortunately, her husband was killed in a car accident in 1970 leaving Noriko, alone with her son, Michael, to start a career as a designer. I first met her just before Saks started carrying her exclusively (in 1972). She did her first shows in her apartment and did all her own floral arrangements which were pieces of art unto themselves and the invitations were all handmade origami, all of which were quite charming and extremely intricate. She was extremely talented and very shy. I think the industry was overwhelming to her and she needed support and guidance to help her understand she was something special. As her career progressed and grew, I produced her shows at the store as well as various other Chicago locations and included her colorful designs with other designers in many other shows, I always loved to showcase our exclusive designer collections. At the beginning, her garments were all silk matte jersey and her signature was trapunto detailing. A bit later she added gauzy cotton, wool challis and silk crepe de chine. All were very simple in look but very intricate in concept and the customers scooped them up. Unfortunately, I don\u2019t have any photos of her or her garments, pity, they were amazing!!1\nI worked with Hino and Malee when they were with Noriko and then when they went out on their own. Their esthetic was very Asian with clean lines, beautiful natural fabrics, and natural colors. Extremely wearable and, to a merchant, very salable.\nHino and Malee in their heyday. They were devoted to each other and their designs were extraordinary. Not at all contrived just plain simple and elegant.\nA dress from Hino and Malee photographed by the genius Victor Skrebneski!\nWhat is this all about, it is about elegance, simplicity of line, joyful pattern, color and color combinations, (which the Asian eye sees differently that the Caucasian eye). It is about wearing clothes that are all about the person wearing the garment and becoming one with it, not the garment wearing the wearer\u2026this has always been my personal code that I share with the Japanese designers, I have been fortunate to work with, a philosophy we all attest to.\nPrevious Article COLLECTIONS: OPALINE\nNext Article PROFILE: MICHAEL RAMION\n2 thoughts on \u201c\ufeffFASHION FLASHBACK: JAPANESE DESIGNERS\u201d\nPetra Slinkard May 5, 2017 / 2:51 pm\nCHM has an example of the first Hanae Mori you show (dress).

The award is the most recent recognition of Operation IMPACT (Injured Military Pursuing Assisted Career Transition), a Northrop Grumman program designed to provide assistance to severely injured military service members and identify potential job and growth opportunities across the company.\n\"Northrop Grumman is honored to have received such a prestigious award from the Department of Veterans' Affairs VR&E Service,\" said Sandra Evers-Manly, vice president of Corporate Responsibility for Northrop Grumman. \"Operation IMPACT is a unique program, one we're very proud of, that's doing something very real to thank those people who have sacrificed so much for our country. These heroes deserve all we can offer, and this program helps them transition into the workplace while helping our company benefit from their talents and expertise.\"\nOperation IMPACT began in 2005 as a Northrop Grumman initiative to provide transition support and employment to service members severely injured in the Global War on Terrorism. The program provides personalized one-on-one assistance to support service members from initial job recruiting through on-the-job follow-up. Once a candidate has been offered a position, the company provides any special accommodations needed to enable an employee to do his or her job. The program is open to spouses and parents of severely injured veterans, as well as to widows and widowers of fallen service members. To date, the company has placed Operation IMPACT employees in positions in 13 states.\nCONTACT:  Tom Henson",

LCROSS was evaluated against award criteria that includes risk management, budget and schedule management, and performance and also addresses value creation, best practices in organizational processes, leadership development, complexity and metrics.\n\"We are gratified to win this award,\" said Steve Hixson, vice president of Advanced Concepts - Space and Directed Energy Systems for Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems. \"It is a significant acknowledgement of the high caliber of our engineering skills and our close partnership with NASA Ames Research Center. It also validates our ability to build small, inexpensive spacecraft with high science value very quickly, awakening the industry and the nation to the viability of this mission class.\"\n\"This award is a reflection of the dedicated effort of the entire program team working in close partnership with our customer,\" said John Chino, Northrop Grumman corporate vice president of programs, quality and engineering. \"We strongly emphasize program performance across the company, and we understand that strong program management, which includes an inherent focus on quality, results in achievements such as recognized here.\"\nNorthrop Grumman worked closely with NASA Ames Research Center to utilize sophisticated management processes that enabled it to design, fabricate, test and make the LCROSS spacecraft available for launch in just 27 months for $57 million. The LCROSS spacecraft was built using an off-the-shelf structure called the Expendable Launch Vehicle Secondary Payload Adaptor (ESPA ring) and commercial, off-the-shelf (COTS) sensors and components.\nThe best practices consistently applied to make LCROSS an outstanding program include:\n-- A close government-industry partnership that emphasized\nfrequent, open, honest communication in all program areas,\nintensive attention to detail and involvement of all team\nmembers in identifying risks and opportunities.\n-- Innovative management processes that took the company's\nsuccessful model in managing technical and schedule risk to\na new level of effectiveness. Rigorous risk management\nminimized the impact of potential issues.\n-- Extensive re-use of Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) hardware\nand other mature hardware designs to minimize integration and\n-- Use of proven schedule acceleration methods developed on\nearlier programs to save costs and documenting lessons learned\ninto a manual for other rapid development projects.\nLCROSS was launched as a secondary mission along with NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter last June, as part of a larger mission to enable NASA to search for water ice on the moon. LCROSS successfully concluded its mission to search for water ice when it impacted the Moon's South Pole on Oct. 9. Scientists are currently studying the data produced by the impact and plan to report their findings soon.\nTwo other Northrop Grumman programs, the Airborne Signals Intelligence Payload (ASIP) and the Large Aircraft Infrared Countermeasures (LAIRCM) program developed for the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy respectively, were also selected as finalists for the award.",

The measures announced by SCE in December and January were designed to preserve our ability to provide electric service.\nWe believe it is irresponsible of the commissioners who voted in the majority to disallow needed cash preservation measures. No one would seek these cost reductions except in a situation where they are necessary to preserve basic services. In the current environment, a failure to act serves customers poorly.\nIt has been many months since California's electricity market turned dysfunctional. The commission has failed on repeated occasions to take the measures necessary to assure a reliable supply of electricity and a stable rate structure. Instead, it has driven the state's investor-owned utilities to the edge of bankruptcy, and jeopardized the essential services they provide millions of Californians. Meanwhile, the state continues to be mired in an energy crisis that continues unabated.\nLike any business or household, SCE must have the ability, as needed, to increase revenues or reduce costs to maintain its financial health. The public utilities commission continues to deny us both options. This kind of undue micro-management-preventing utilities from reasonable and temporary cost cutting-only perpetuates a remarkable episode of regulatory failure in California.",

        "title": "Parental Quiz: Would Jesus Say That? \u2013 Nicolas C. Day",
        "raw_content": "My wife and I recently conducted a rather convicting parenting exercise. We collected a list of some of the phrases we say to our children and attempted to picture Jesus speaking those same words to us. We quickly realized that some of the words spewing out of our mouths would never be found on the lips of our Lord and Savior. Here\u2019s some of our highlights/lowlights (let me know if you can relate to any of these):\n\u201cI don\u2019t respond to whining.\u201d (Often accompanied by \u201cask like a man\u201d when talking to my son).\nI can just see Him now, throwing His hand up in my face as I cry out in desperate need, \u201cStop whining, and speak like a man, Nick.\u201d Yikes. While we are to \u201cdo everything without grumbling or arguing\u201d (Philippians 2:14 NIV), God does invite us to lay our worries before Him. In fact, He wants you to bring your concerns to Him. \u201cCast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.\u201d \u2013 1 Peter 5:7 NIV.\nNote the distinction here between grumbling and anxiety. In 1 Corinthians 10:10, Paul refers to the grumbling of the Israelites in the desert using the Greek word \u201cgogguz\u00f3\u201d \u2013 meaning \u201cmurmur, grumble (generally of smoldering discontent).\u201d[1] Contrast this with the Greek word \u201cmerimna\u201d in 1 Peter 5:7 \u2013 meaning \u201ccare, worry, anxiety.\u201d[2] Consider also the many lamenting Psalms that beseech God with their complaints in an appropriate manner of prayer.[3] For further reading on \u201ccomplaining to God\u201d check out this article: http://matthewsleonard.com/is-it-okay-to-complain-to-god/.\n\u201cYou\u2019re a big boy/girl, do it yourself.\u201d\nImagine God saying, \u201cWhy do you need My help? You\u2019re a big Christian now, do it yourself.\u201d I think some people may have the false perception that God does take that stance due to the often misquoted \u201cGod helps those who help themselves.\u201d Not only is that not in the bible, but also it is contradictory to what Scripture teaches. Jesus wants us to depend on Him \u2013 not do things by ourselves. \u201cI am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.\u201d \u2013 John 15:5 NIV.\nJust as my toddlers are in a constant state of need, so am I utterly dependent on my Father\u2019s help. Whereas I consider my necessities more complex then needing a diaper change and/or finding a lost toy/sippy cup/pacifier in the middle of the night, my children probably share a similar sensation of being completely overwhelmed and helpless to address their problems. Thankfully, God promises to be there to help us through the hard times \u2013 even if it doesn\u2019t look quite like what we expected. \u201cSo do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.\u201d \u2013 Isaiah 41:10 NIV.\n\u201cDaddy needs some space.\u201d\nThis is a polite way of telling my kids to leave me the heck alone. This statement typically emerges when my three year old asks \u201cwhy\u201d for the millionth time that day \u2013 or when I am lying down on the ground in exhaustion with my three kids literally jumping up and down on my head. God, however, doesn\u2019t need \u201cspace\u201d. He doesn\u2019t ask for a \u201cDaddy break\u201d. Instead, Jesus is constantly beckoning us towards a closer relationship with him. \u201cCome to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.\u201d \u2013 Matthew 11:28 NIV.\nPretty sure if Jesus said some of the things I say to my children to me it would crush me into a tiny little heap on the ground. But that\u2019s not usually the first thing that runs through your mind when you\u2019re a sleep deprived parent with a three year old, a two year old, and a one year old clinging to your legs while screaming/whining/persistently asking random questions/all the above.\nThe fact is, parenting is hard. Really, really hard. Or as my wife would say, \u201cparenting is the perfect opportunity to practice grace.\u201d As hard as we try, we will certainly fail at times \u2013 and that\u2019s where it is helpful to remember the following:\n1. \u201cJesus paid the penalty for every moment when you fail as a parent.\u201d (Parenting, Paul David Tripp)\n2. \u201cAbove all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins\u201d (1 Peter 4:8 NIV)\nClearly I have some spiritual maturing to do in the realm of parenting. It gently convicts and humbles me to admit this \u2013 evidence of God nudging me with His (far better) act of parenting.\nUltimately, I know that no matter how many parenting books I read, I cannot be the father I am called to be without the purifying work of the Holy Spirit. That is just one of the countless reasons that I am thankful for being adopted by the perfect Father in heaven.\n\u201cBut to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God.\u201d \u2013 John 1:12 NLT\n[3] http://www.crivoice.org/psalmtypes.html\nPosted in Bible, Christian, Christian blogger, Christianity, Fatherhood, Jesus, Parenting, Theology, Uncategorized\nPrevious Article What Adele & the Bible Have in Common\nNext Article Searching for \u201cAnt\u201dswers\n10 thoughts on \u201cParental Quiz: Would Jesus Say That?\u201d\nI wholeheartedly agree! Great read!\nThanks Ms. Lyn! Love you!\nWow! How true this is. Thank You for this it\u2019s amazing.\nThanks Ms. Shannon! Hope all is going well.\nLindsay Antoine says:\nGreat insight and so truthful! Love your thoughts!\nThanks for your comments Lindsay and thanks for reading!\nMatt - Broods, Butterflies, and Bible says:\nThis is great reminder and method for being conscious of how we speak to our kids. If we are teach how children how to be Christ-following, productive members of society who love God (Pro 22:6; Eph 6:4), then how we speak to them is critically important.\nI can totally relate to your first one. As my kids have started to get into that 3-5 year range, their tendency to whine first and think later can sometimes be enraging. I often found myself saying, \u201cI don\u2019t speak whine,\u201d, and then going about whatever I was doing. I had to make a conscious effort to switch to something along the lines of, \u201cI can\u2019t understand you because you\u2019re whining. Can you tell me like a big boy so I can help you?\u201d\nThanks for sharing, Matt! Great point and great, relevant parenting verses that you listed. Also, I\u2019m going to have to steal that line from you and see how my children receive it \u2013 certainly a far more gentle response to whining!\nDrew Tupper says:\nI appreciate this perspective. Thank you.\nThanks for the comment, Drew! I\u2019ve enjoyed reading the writing on your blog. Keep it up!",

        "raw_content": "Great Green Grid is a lattice-shaped windbreak forest in Konsen Plateau in the eastern part of Hokkaido. It is a globally \u201clarge-scale\u201d forest, which can\u2019t be constructed in this country except in Hokkaido. It is registered as one of Hokkaido Heritages.\nThe side of each lattice is 3,000 m in length, the green belt is 180 m in width, and the total length of the forest is as long as 648 km. It became famous after astronaut Mamoru Mori captured it with a video camera when he flew aboard the space shuttle \u201cEndeavor,\u201d from which alone we can imagine how huge it is.\nIt was originally built to protect nearby cattle farms and grazing ground from wind and snow, but it has also become habitats and pathway for wild animals. In recent years, it is a popular spot for horse trekking and animal watching.\nA lock is a device for raising and lowering boats between stretches of water of different levels on river and canal waterways. It has a fixed chamber whose water level can be varied.\nIshii Locks are located at the junction of Kitakami Canal and the Kitakami River in Mizuoshi, Ishinomaki City, Miyagi Prefecture. It was constructed to adjust the water level of the canal. These brick-made classic locks were designed by Cornelis Johannes van Doorn, one of foreign advisors hired by the Japanese government for their specialized knowledge, by the order of Home Minister, Okubo Toshimichi, and was completed in 1880.\nIt is a representative remaining structure of Nobiru Port, which was planned and constructed by the Meiji government as the transportation base to develop the Tohoku region. It is also an earliest example of modern locks that were constructed all over the country from the Meiji to Taisho periods. Its historical value in civil engineering technology was highly esteemed and it was nationally designated as an Important Cultural Property.\nThe Chuma Kaido Road was a highway used to transport salt from Mikawa (Present-day Aichi Prefecture) to Shinshu (Nagano Prefecture) and products from Shinshu to Nagoya, Kyoto and Osaka on the way back. \u201cChuma\u201d was the name of the union organized by carriers using horses. The word is said to have derived from \u201cchinba (a horse for transportation)\u201d or \u201cchukei-ba (a relaying horse).\u201d As a local popular song went \u201c1,000 horses com in, 1,000 horsed go out,\u201d more than 7,000 horses went and returned on the road at its peak.\nAsuke Town in Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture, was a thriving relay station on the Chuma Kaido Road in the Edo period (1603-1868). Though it ceased to function as a post station in the middle of the Meiji period (1868-1912), when railway service of the Chuo Line started, the old streetscapes of the Edo period remain in the central part of the town. The old road retained along the Tomoe River provides a nice promenade for tourists. The Chuma Kaido Road became National Road 153 today and functions as an important transportation route to support the life of local people.\n\u5927\u4e95\u6c60\u3000Ooi-ike\u3000Oi-ike Pond\nOi-ike Pond is a 9.2 hectare artificial pond located in Okusa in Koda Town, Aichi Prefecture. The water is fed from the Hirota River, a tributary of the Yahagi River. Constructed in 1943, it is the largest agricultural irrigation pond in the prefecture.\nThere is a golf driving range on the side of the pond, where golfers can enjoy dynamic shooting toward the water of the pond. The area around the pond is a famous cherry blossom viewing spot. The upstream area of the river is dotted with mudslide control dams.\nThe pond is not only used for agriculture but also provides disaster control measures, habitat of various wildlife, the communication place for local people and the place to get contact with natural water. It is a precious municipal property that is indispensable for the local communities.\n\u65e7\u548c\u7530\u5bbf\u672c\u9663\u3000Kyu-wadajuku-honjin\u3000Old Wadajuku Honjin\nWadajuku Honjin was honjin (the inn for the nobility and daimyo) of Wadajuku post station on the Nakasendo Road. Located at the entrance to the Wada Pass, which was the hardest chokepoint on the Nakasendo Road at the time, most travelers stayed at this post town before climbing up to Wada Pass.\nWadajuku honjin was constructed in 1861, but destroyed by fire in the same year. In this year, however, the procession of Princess Kazunomiya was to stay at Wadajuku on her journey to Edo, where she was going to be married to the 14th Tokugawa Shogun. Consequently, money was lent from the Shogunate and the honjin was reconstructed in as short a time as four months.\nAfter the Meiji Restoration, the system of honjin was abolished, but the building had been used as the town hall until 1984, when the town office moved to another place and the building was to be dismantled. However, its historical and architectural values were acknowledged and the building was rebuilt after dismantling. Presently, only the residence of the proprietor has been restored and preserved. Wadajuku is one of the few post stations where such a large-scale honjin remains to the present day.\nninjya star\nkarakami\npawlonia paste",

        "title": "NSA Spying: 5 things you need to worry about | NordVPN",
        "raw_content": "In 2018, we are already five years ahead from the Snowden revelations that shook up the US government and showed the whole world that there\u2019s no such thing as privacy, especially when it comes to online communications.\nFor some time it looked that the storm has passed, and yet \u2013 a report, issued by the top US intelligence officer Dan Coats, shows that the surveillance situation in the US is still intense. Apparently, the US National Security Agency (NSA) collected more than 151 million Americans\u2019 phone call records last year, even after Congress had limited its ability to gather bulk phone records.\nHaving this in mind, it would be naive to believe that government surveillance is no longer worth to worry about. So in this article, we will take a closer look at the NSA intentions and measures to spy on you \u2013 whether you live in the US or anywhere else in the world.\nWhat is the NSA and what does it do?\nThe NSA (National Security Agency) is one of the largest US intelligent organizations, tasked with global monitoring and surveillance since 1952. Decades before the internet, the agency was collecting and deciphering telegraph records for foreign intelligence and counterintelligence purposes.\nShortly after the September 11th attacks (2001), President Bush authorized the NSA to conduct warrantless surveillance activities not only on foreign visitors but also the US citizens. The \u201cPresident\u2019s Surveillance Program,\u201d or simply \u201cThe Program,\u201d allowed the agency to monitor both international and domestic internet communications, listen to phone calls as well as secretly scan email messages with no legal authorization or court approval.\nThe US domestic surveillance program continues through to these days, even though the legal environment has changed a bit since 2001. One of the most significant steps towards improving privacy protection for the public was the passage of the 2015 USA Freedom Act, which limited bulk collection of telephone metadata to include only those who are suspected to have terrorist ties.\nWhy you should worry about the NSA spying on you\nThese changes would sound promising if not the potential reauthorization of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). Under this section, intelligence agencies are allowed to require internet service providers (ISPs), telephone providers and tech companies (e.g., Facebook, Google, Apple, Microsoft) to collaborate in collecting information about targeted individuals.\nAlthough Section 702 allows the NSA to spy only on people who live outside the US, it is impossible to ensure American communications are not caught up in the surveillance dragnet. Here\u2019s how it may happen and why you should worry about.\n1. You can be spied on with no reason\nThe NSA\u2019s Upstream program allows scanning data flows for certain selectors associated with individuals that NSA is tasked to track, including target\u2019s name, email address, IP addresses, etc. However, the NSA claims that selectors for this surveillance have to be more specific that merely the names of targets. That is, nobody will be interested in your discussion about Angela Merkel as long as you do not mention her email address or other information that may catch the NSA attention.\n2. They can \u201cfollow\u201d you on Facebook\nAs mentioned before, the NSA cooperates with large tech companies such as Apple, Facebook, Google and Microsoft to intercept and store all messaging data going to or from foreign targets. So if you message your foreign friend, there is a high chance your communication may be spied on, just because it is international.\n3. Once acquired, your data is no longer private\nIf one email in your inbox matches any of the NSA\u2019s targeting selectors, your entire inbox flow may end up in the NSA databases. What is more, other law enforcement institutions, such as the FBI, can also access those databases without a warrant, for example, to search for possible evidence of domestic crimes.\n4. Your data can be hacked\nAll the information collected by the NSA eventually ends up in large databases, including target\u2019s phone numbers, addresses and other identifying information. Needless to say that such amounts of sensitive data are a huge piece of pie for hackers.\n5. Laws are made to be broken\nAccording to the recent report, the NSA could be using \u201ctraffic shaping\u201d techniques to redirect local internet traffic, including emails and messages, sent by American citizens, overseas. This way they could access all the information they need, which would be illegal if conducted inside the US. Given the obscure nature of the NSA, it is not surprising they have methods to bypass any restrictions.\nFor those who are concerned about their privacy and wish to stay on the safe side, using a reliable VPN service in the US is highly recommended. Even though it won\u2019t protect users from all possible NSA spying methods, NordVPN will keep your online communications private and safe from the eyes of ISPs by hiding and replacing your IP address.\nRelated: Surveillance in the US: Recent developments\nRelated: Avoiding internet surveillance: How you can protect your privacy\nJudge Approves Search Warrant of Data on Anti-Trump Site Visitors",

        "title": "Auto Insurer Lawsuits | Accident Attorney Illinois",
        "raw_content": "Is your insurance company guilty of using cheap repair?\nWith the Illinois Department of Transportation reporting 845 car crashes on Illinois roadways last year alone, state motorists are increasingly seeking affordable methods of automotive repair following accidents. Often, the accident victims are encouraged to go through a member of his or her insurance company\u2019s \u201cpreferred network,\u201d but a recent report published on CNN suggests that doing so may be a dangerous and costly practice.\nMore than 500 auto body shops in 36 states have filed lawsuits against auto insurance companies. The lawsuits allege that the body shops have been pushed to use cheap parts and dangerous practices when fixing the cars of accident victims. A Northbrook car accident lawyers knows that doing so can not only hinder the body shop\u2019s reputation, but it can also prove highly dangerous for the owner of the car.\nWhile complaint content varies, many of the auto body shops filing lawsuits against insurance companies allege that they are being encouraged to use faulty or inadequate parts when performing repairs. Headlights held together with only glue, misshapen rims and old, repurposed products being labeled as \u201cnew\u201d are just a few examples used by body shops in their complaints.\nParker Auto Body in Monroe, Louisiana was among the companies filing suit against insurance companies. A representative of the shop shared several examples with CNN. One of these examples involved a clearly cracked replacement headlight they were given by an insurance company and told to place in a customer\u2019s car. He explained his hesitation at using the defective part, citing that the crack would fill with water as soon as it rained, ultimately rendering it useless.\nTrouble for small businesses\nMany of the auto bodies participating in suits against auto insurance companies allege that the credibility of their businesses is suffering due to the push to use inadequate parts and repair methods. The representative from Parker Auto Body expressed that while they do not want to perform customer repairs using deficient parts or labor, they are hesitant to refuse doing so. They fear that if they fail to behave in accordance with the insurance company\u2019s wishes, the provider will steer its customers to another body shop that will work with them. A Northbrook car accident lawyer recognizes the catch-22 faced by body shops. Many are forced to either perform inadequate work, alienating customers, or refuse to do so, and lose insurance company referrals. Either way, small businesses suffer and experience loss of income as a result.\nSafety concerns for consumers\nU.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal believes that in addition to causing trouble for small business, cars that are repaired through \u201cpreferred networks\u201d pose a considerable safety risk to the public. He asked that the issue be investigated by the U.S. Department of Justice, alleging that the practice of steering customers toward shops that use faulty parts is highly concerning for all motorists. He noted the fact that customers rarely have any idea where the parts placed in their cars actually come from or whether they have been installed properly prior to use.\nInsurance company responses\nState Farm was among the insurance companies named in the lawsuits. John Eaves, the lead attorney for the lawsuits filed against State Farm in Louisiana, expressed concern over how widespread this issue has become. He noted that every state in the U.S. is in danger when body shops are encouraged to cut corners when it comes to parts and repair methods. State Farm was contacted by CNN for an interview about these alleged practices, and while the company refused the interview, it did release a statement. The statement said that it was ultimately up to the customers where they choose to have their repairs performed. State Farm did confirm that it recommends that its clients use body shops that are a part of its Select Service program. However, the company noted that whether repairs are actually conducted there or elsewhere is ultimately at the will of the consumer.\nFor additional details, State Farm directed CNN toward Neil Alldredge, a representative of the National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies. In response, Alldredge explained that having a job done right the first time was in the best economic interest of insurance companies, rather than having to perform the same repair two, three or more times. He also said that whether auto body shops use new or refurbished parts is also generally up to the consumer, but that consumers frequently choose this option because it is generally more affordable. He also echoed State Farm\u2019s sentiments about how whether to use body shops within an insurer\u2019s preferred network is solely at the will of the consumer.\nConsumer research is necessary\nWhen it comes to blindly following the recommendations of an insurance company, a Northbrook car accident lawyer advises using caution. Just as a particular body shop should not be chosen based solely on an insurer\u2019s recommendation, the shop shouldn\u2019t immediately be discounted if it isn\u2019t part of a preferred network, either. An article released by ABC News recommends that consumers perform background research before choosing a body shop. Local Better Business Bureaus or consumer affairs offices are good places to check out potential automotive repair shops.\nShoddy workmanship and the use of insufficient repair parts can lead to accidents on Illinois roadways. Those who believe the injuries they suffered after an accident or collision were the result of inadequate repair, damaged parts or cheap labor are urged to contact an attorney.",

        "raw_content": "\u2190 Thoughts on How We Translate the Caretaker Convention\nThe Trudeau II Government\u2019s Electoral Teleology \u2192\nThe Old Center Block\nOn 3 February 1916, one hundred years ago today, a raging inferno consumed the original Center Block and left it a smoldering ruin and a gutted husk of its former glory. Seven perished in the deadly blaze. Only the Library of Parliament and part of the hallway leading up to it survived thanks to the firefighters who doused the fire and the librarians who shut the steel door separating the library from the rest of the original Center Block.\nCharles Bishop of the Ottawa Citizen wrote this contemporary account:\nThe grand old tower put up a magnificent fight for survival. Standing while the support seemed to have burned away, it sent a solid pillow of twisting, billowing gold up into the winter night. Finally, it came down, crashing into the concourse in front and with it, carrying the huge, old clock which had stayed illuminated and kept on striking to the last.\nThis photo album, \u201cThe Fire of 1916,\u201d comes from a Facebook group called \u201cParliament of Canada \u2014 Youth Connection.\u201d It chronicles the history of the Old Center Block from the 1880s until it met its fiery demise in 1916; it also shows the efforts to demolish the burned out husk of the Old Center Block and build the current structure in its place. In 1919, the Prince of Wales (who later become Edward VIII and after his abdication, the Duke of Windsor), laid the cornerstone of what would become the Peace Tower. Finally, on Dominion Day \u2014 1 July 1927 \u2014 eleven years after the fire, Canadians celebrated the 60th anniversary of Confederation and the Dominion of Canada by opening the Peace Tower. But this Facebook group betrays the ignorance of those who created it and probably of most of those who read it by relying on this caption to describe what I just recounted above: \u201cJuly 1, 1927: Canada turns 60 and the Peace Tower is inaugurated.\u201d It omits entirely that at the time, we referred to July 1st as Dominion Day (and therefore by implication imparts to the reader that we always referred to July 1st by the banal \u201cCanada Day\u201d) and glosses over that it was not \u201cCanada\u201d per se that turned 60 in 1927, but rather the Dominion of Canada under the British North America Act, 1867, that became a sexagenarian. The second King ministry chose to celebrate the Dominion\u2019s diamond jubilee because its golden jubilee fell during the Great War, only one year after the fire that destroyed the Old Center Block.\nThe Library of Parliament stands as the last lonely redoubt of the Old Center Block.\nSo I must ask, to what past are we, particularly my peers, \u201cconnected\u201d? I can\u2019t help but conclude that my generation has been robbed of this country\u2019s history and brought up with a profound historical amnesia, after a cultural revolution so insidious in its gradualness yet thorough in its destruction of the past. These 41 photos depict a long forgotten world in which Canadians proudly adorned their official buildings with Union Flags and Red Ensigns and unarmed Peelite police officers dressed in the old British uniform stood vigil at Sir Wilfrid Laurier\u2019s final repose.\nI felt strangely wistful looking through these photographs of the Old Center Block and the aftermath of its destruction. They tell the story of a country ravaged by war and of the immense sacrifice in blood and treasury that the Dominion of Canada contributed for King & Country and the British Empire. (I think that the British Empire should have remained neutral in that Continental war in 1914, but that\u2019s another issue). But the wistfulness creeps in because what we fought for no longer exists. The British Empire is long gone, and successive governments since Pearson\u2019s have severed and suffocated our organic connection to the past and imposed an artificial monstrosity in its place. Looking at these fleeting glimpses into a blurred past is like gazing into an alternate universe. I feel like Boromir staring at the shards of Isildur\u2019s sword; we\u2019ve inherited nothing more than faded memories and broken heirlooms.\nParliament: Traditions and History\n1951: Lament for a Dominion\nThis entry was posted in Parliament, Traditions and History.

Each issue is rated and reviewed to help other comic book art fans build their collections.\nI started reading and collecting comics back in the 1970s. While I enjoyed the stories, I was drawn mostly toward the artwork. While it was difficult to collect back issues, the Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide was a valuable resource. However, it wasn't without its mis-attributions (credit given to the wrong artist) or non-attributions (artist work not credited) even today. Nor did it specify the story page-lengths, collaborators or relative quality of the work. Despite this, my 30 years of collecting have allowed me to see the majority of works by the selected artists.\nEach issue is rated relative to the artist's body of work over the course of his (or her) career. Five stars (*****) indicate work of the highest aesthetic quality, four stars (****) mark an exceptional work above the artist's usual standards, three stars (***) are given for admirable works that meet expectations, two stars (**) signifies recognizable work by the artist but below expectations, while one star (*) conveys artwork that's virtually unrecognizable in style or an uncharacteristically poor effort by the artist.\nPencil Ink is intended to be an ongoing, continually expanding resource with the goal of including every comic by each of the featured artists. To my fellow collectors: good hunting!\n-Ted Ignacio @ Pencil Ink\nLabels: 'Thoughts\nGianni_G January 15, 2012 at 12:32 PM\nEnjoy your blog very much, thought you might enjoy the latest feature on Tony Robertson's STERANKO Fan-site (I'm the designer) feature is titled: COMPS TO FINISHED... enjoy and please feel free to share.\nhttp://www.thedrawingsofsteranko.com/\nMassimo Squillace December 25, 2013 at 5:57 AM\nI've been enjoying your blog since its inception, and while we definitely share a similar list of favorite artists, I wonder why yours doesn't include John Buscema.

        "raw_content": "\u2190 The new emperor\u2019s buttonhole\nI heard another \u2018expert\u2019 on the radio today\nwittering on about the aging population of the UK;\nbemoaning the fact that our fertility is in decline\nand claiming that we needed \u2018growth\u2019 to prosper.\nThat educated people are so oblivious of reality\nIs, I think, far more than just a pity.\nExamining the facts:\nYes, we\u2019re having less children.\nBut there are more new mouths, not fewer.\nAnd because we\u2019re living longer,\npopulation\u2019s increasing faster still.\nAssume just a \u2018tiny\u2019 1% growth in people.\nOur population will double in just one lifetime.\n(Don\u2019t believe me? Watch this.)\nIn ten lifetimes, that\u2019s ten doublings.\nTen doublings: one thousand people\nstanding where there is just one today.\nunless we come to our senses,\nwe\u2019ll all be standing shoulder-to-shoulder.\nthis \u2018expert\u2019 also said\nthat he \u2018didn\u2019t hold with global warming.\u2019\nHis great-great-great-grandchildren\n(in their multitudes, if he has his way)\nwill claim he was a fool, or insane.\nAssuming they survive the wars.\n10 Responses to Ten doublings\nDo you want to hear another expert on the radio? http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p00230y4/Ronys_Forum_05_02_2009/ If you want to listen you\\\u2019ll have to in the next two or three days cos it will disappear\u2026 listen for my dulcet tones after the first ten minutes of the show! \ud83d\ude1b\nPingback: \u201cArithmetic, population and energy\u201d by Dr Albert A Bartlett | Wibble\npendantry on behalf of Martin Lack says:\nMartin \u2013 I\u2019ve taken the liberty of posting your recent comment on this thread (where it belongs).\nColin, 12 months ago, the UN predicted that it was most likely that population would stabilise by 2100 at around 10 billion. However, if we fail to get control of fertility in poor countries (due to failing to educate and emancipate women), population will continue to grow in a linear fashion (i.e. not a survivable option). Alternatively, if people in developing countries finally begin to see the benefit in controlling their procreation (as a means to escape the poverty trap) then total global population might actually peak at less than 10 billion.\nhttp://esa.un.org/unpd/wpp/Analytical-Figures/htm/fig_1.htm\nTherefore, the future of global population lies in the hands of poor people currently having too many children (who are not dying as a result of our intervention). That is to say they have got stuck with high birth but low death rates; and need to complete the demographic transition from high birth and death rates to low birth and death rates.\nI agree with you that all of this is scary. Exponential growth is scary. Doubling time is approximately = 70 divided by annual percentage growth rate. Therefore, doubling times are as follows:\n1% growth = 70 years\n10% growth = 7 years.\nI therefore don\u2019t get your \u201cten doublings\u201d post at all because if world population were to grow at 1% per annum it would double to 14 billion by 2070, 28 billion by 2140, and 56 billion by 2210. However, as Jared Diamond and James Hansen have pointed out, none of that is going to happen because the ecological carrying capacity of an Ice-free Earth (w.r.t. humans) will be only a fraction of it current value (which we ave already exceeded). Therefore, we either choose to bring the human population on this planet under control; or ecological reality will do it for us.\nI don\u2019t understand what you don\u2019t understand about the ten doublings: 2 raised to the power 10 (ie, ten doublings) is 1024. The doubling rate at 1% is the proverbial \u2018three score years and ten\u2019. Ten times 70 is 700 years. Seven hundred years from now takes us to (roughly) AD2750. Assuming a continuation of this \u2018tiny\u2019 growth rate (1%) \u2014 and ignoring the practicalities of feeding/ clothing/ housing/ educating etc \u2014 there would be roughly seven thousand billion humans.\n\u201c\u2026if world population were to grow at 1% per annum it would double to 14 billion by 2070, 28 billion by 2140, and 56 billion by 2210\u201d\nThat is exactly my point. The global rate of population growth of homo fatuus brutus is currently approximately 1.3%pa (note: 1.3% > 1%). The UN\u2019s numbers don\u2019t explain how we\u2019re \u2014 suddenly, magically \u2014 going to switch from a situation where instead of doubling our numbers every seventy years, everything will be stable at approximately 10 billion (give or take a billion, or two) by the end of this century.\nIf population growth is to subside, something drastic is going to have to happen. Wars, diseases, mass famines, yes, clearly these are drastic (and only a madman actually wants them).\nIf there is to be a peaceful, managed transition to the UN\u2019s numbers \u2014 one that doesn\u2019t involve megadeaths \u2014 the drastic changes will have to be in our minds; in the way in which we perceive the act of procreation. So:\nWill society provide financial support for parents, or will there instead be financial incentives to remain childless? How will in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) be viewed?\nWill we continue in the view that everyone has a \u2018right\u2019 to have their own children, or will it only be the richest of the rich who get to spread their seed?\nWill we continue to pursue extension-of-life to the (IMO crazy) extent we do now \u2014 or will \u2018early retirement\u2019 take on a new meaning?\nWill we still celebrate births (and birthdays)? Will we toast great-great-(great-great-?)grandmothers \u2014 or will they be stoned as pariahs?\nBland reassurances, such as are implicit in the UN\u2019s numbers, that all will be (more-or-less) well don\u2019t even hint at such issues.\nAnd when I rail at those who blame the third world\u2019s profligate and irresponsible growth, what I mean to refer to is a phrase with which I feel sure you\u2019re familiar: \u2018before attempting to remove a splinter from the eye of another, first remove the plank from your own\u2019. We\u2019re all in this together; pointing fingers elsewhere is a symptom of denial.\nMake Room! Make Room! Anyone for Soylent Green?\nAs always: I\u2019m happy to be proven wrong \ud83d\ude42\nWe are both right. By the time I crawled in to bed last night I realised I had misunderstood your comments about ten doublings (i.e. 2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2). If you had said the population will be 1024 times greater (rather than 1000 times greater) I would not have been confused. However, this is such an important issue, I think I will re-visit on my blog. Thanks for the inspiration. (I still think the locus of the problem lies outside the developed world).\nIt\u2019s entirely possible you\u2019re not wrong; I certainly don\u2019t claim to know it all. I keep looking for the growth rate of homo fatuus brutus\u2019 \u2018first world\u2019 (AKA \u2018Western\u2019 AKA \u2018civilised\u2019) chapter, and haven\u2019t yet found it. I appreciate it will be less than 1% (but I\u2019d be willing to wager it\u2019s not negative; I only have to look at the way the other branches of my parents\u2019 offspring continue to grow to see that) \u2014 it will be interesting to crunch that number the way Professor Albert Bartlett taught me to\u2026\nThe UN website includes the facility to look at projections for any individual country if you want to; and the early part of the graph will indicate the current trend\u2026?\nAh, I see, you refer to the World Population Prospects, the 2010 Revision? Lots of numbers there, would take some time to crunch.\nThinking parochially for a moment (a thing I do try to avoid in a topic that has a global scope) allows me a riposte to the \u2018but it\u2019s not us, it\u2019s them\u2018 stance: the UK\u2019s \u2018average rate of population change\u2019 (which will, I suspect, be confused by the inclusion of immigration/ emigration) is 0.6%. This means that we in the UK have a doubling period of 70/0.6= 117 years, which is a smidgeon less than half as fast as the global 70/1.3= 53.8 years* \u2014 but even so, it\u2019s increasing, not stabilising; and as Professor Bartlett warns: in an exponential growth situation it\u2019s actually much closer to midnight than knee-jerk \u2018common-sense\u2019 would have one believe.\nYes, I know, it\u2019s complicated by immigration/ emigration (I believe I already said that): I dunno about you, tovarishch, but as far as I\u2019m concerned we\u2019re all human, and we\u2019re all in this together, despite the perpetual nationalism prejudices that are the legacies of a bygone era that some would, in denial of reality, prefer that we continue.\n* I cannot now recall where I got the global 1.3% increase rate from. I can find nowhere on the World Population Prospects where they aggregate the numbers. It\u2019s almost as though nobody wants us to look at the big picture\u2026\nDeflecting attention somewhere else is what Clive Hamilton calls a \u201cmaladaptive coping strategy\u201d; one that climate change sceptics use all the time (e.g. claiming any Western mitigating actions will be wiped out by construction of coal-fired power stations in China)\u2026\nI therefore suspect that you feel this is exactly what I am doing (maybe I am). I certainly agree that we must all take responsibility for our own fertility and \u2013 as I am sure you appreciate \u2013 I am not in denial about the ultimately problematic nature of growth; be it in population or resource consumption of any kind\u2026\nHowever, despite all that, I really do think that our biggest problem lies within the minds of the world\u2019s poorest people in countries where population growth is yet to decline to Western levels and \u2013 to be quite frank with you \u2013 this is the view of the UN (and they are not in denial about the reality of growth as our ultimate problem either).\nI\u2019ve just reviewed this thread and feel the need to riposte that our biggest problem lies within the minds of all those who find it easy to dismiss the real world practical needs of others on the grounds that \u2018they\u2019re not like us\u2019. We\u2019re all in it together.",

        "raw_content": "10 Weirdest Failed Constitutional Amendments\nThere have been more than 11,000 attempts to alter the U.S. Constitution. Most of those, obviously, have fallen flat. Visions of America/Contributor/Universal Images Group/Getty Images\nEvery time you turn on cable news, there's a good chance someone is yelling about the need for an amendment to the United States Constitution. You're probably familiar with some of the more recent attempts, including proposals to require a balanced federal budget, define marriage as a union between a man and a woman, guarantee equal rights for women, ban flag desecration and reform the Electoral College. What you might not know is there have actually been more than 11,000 proposed constitutional amendments introduced in or recommended to Congress since the country's founding document was enacted in 1789 [source: Bernstein and Agel]. Like those listed above, many of them were politically controversial. Others, however, were just plain weird.\nIf it's been a while since your last civics class, here's a quick refresher on the constitutional amendment process. A two-thirds majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, or a constitutional convention called by two-thirds of the state legislatures, is required to formally propose an amendment. Then the amendment must be ratified by three-fourths (38) of the 50 states [source: National Archives]. The founding fathers designed the process to be difficult but not impossible, which is why, of the thousands of proposed amendments, only 27 became enshrined in the Constitution. Considering our list of some of the weird things politicians and activists proposed over the years, that's probably a good thing.",

It takes for granted an allegiance to lofty ideals, it stimulates worthy and purposeful achievement, and in the personal equation, it challenges the best in all of us.\u201d\n\u2013 From the \u201cHistory of Phi Mu Fraternity 1852-1927\u201d\nThe first Philomathean badge was designed in 1852 by Sarah Amelia Bardwell and created from a $20 gold piece that was given to Mary Ann Dupont (Lines) by her father when she left home to attend Wesleyan.\nThe current badge is a uniquely shaped shield of gold overlaid with a black shield bearing two bonds, three stars, a hand clasping a heart and the Greek letters \u201cPhi Mu.\u201d\nThe Phi pin (or provisional/new member pin) is a black and gold shield with the Greek letter \u201cPhi.\u201d\nThe barbed quatrefoil is Phi Mu\u2019s symbol. It is a very unique shape and can be traced back to early European design.\nThe rose-colored carnation is Phi Mu\u2019s flower. While the rose-colored carnation in the language of flowers refers to \u201cwomen\u2019s love and sisterhood,\u201d Lillian Estes (Davis), Alpha, Grand Historian 1907-1908, wrote that \u201cpink carnations are, and always have been, the emblematic flower.\u201d\nPhi Mu National Headquarters, located in Peachtree City, Georgia, is home to both Phi Mu Fraternity and Phi Mu Foundation. The 31,672 square foot building houses our leadership training center, library, conference rooms and office space. It also contains a museum, displaying many Phi Mu artifacts and memorabilia that span throughout our history.\nRose and White are the office colors of Phi Mu. This choice can be tracked back to the early days of the Philomathean Society.\nDesigned in 1904 by Annie Laurie Mallory (Parker), Alpha, assisted by Louise Monning (Elliott), Alpha, the coat of arms displays the open motto of Phi Mu, \u201cLes Soeurs Fideles,\u201d or \u201cThe Faithful Sisters.\u201d\nLions have always been a part of our history and are also shown on our Coat of Arms. Our mascot, a lion that we affectionately call \u201cSir Fidel,\u201d is a name adapted from our open motto, Les Soeurs Fideles. Sir Fidel was created in 1973.\nAngelica Holmes \u2013 Huffington Post Guest Blogger",

Thus, the name does not refer to a particular philosophy, philosophical system, method, or tradition. Rather, Africana philosophy is a third-order, metaphilosophical, umbrella-concept used to bring organizing oversight to various efforts of philosophizing\u2014that is, activities of reflective, critical thinking and articulation and aesthetic expression\u2014engaged in by persons and peoples African and of African descent who were and are indigenous residents of continental Africa and residents of the many African Diasporas worldwide. In all cases the point of much of the philosophizings has been to confer meaningful orderings on individual and shared living and on natural and social worlds while resolving recurrent, emergent, and radically disruptive challenges to existence so as to survive, endure, and flourish across successive generations.\nThe emergent third-order work defining the field has been focused on identifying for research and teaching, and for further refinements and new developments of, instances of philosophical articulations and expressions regarding what has been, and is, of thoughtful, aesthetic significance to persons African and of African descent. This work has produced educative catalogings and critical surveys of particular ideas and idea-spaces; intellectual and aesthetic expressive agendas, practices, and traditions; and networks of individuals, organizations, and institutions serving philosophizing in African and African-descended life-worlds.\n1.

Future Developments\nAfro-Caribbean Philosophy\nThere are significant challenges to the viability of the concept Africana philosophy as well as to an effort to map out an encyclopedic overview of the extended and still expanding range of endeavors covered by the term. Foremost are the challenges to ordering through a single concept the geographical, historical, socio-political, and cultural differences and complexities that have defined and continue to define the realities of life of the many persons and peoples identified as \u201cAfrican\u201d and \u201cof African descent\u201d in many locales throughout the world. Yet, the viability of the concept is grounded on several centuries of continuous, linked, complicated histories during which Black peoples of Africa, and their descendants, have been regarded as and engaged with, and more or less have come to regard themselves, as \u201cAfrican\u201d peoples, as persons and peoples \u201cof African descent.\u201d The long histories of this regarding, by others and by themselves, have thus conditioned substantively the history-makings, the socio-political lives, the culture-makings and culture-mediations, intellectual productions and philosophizings included, of persons and peoples African and of African descent.\nOn these socially constructive historical groundings rest several key heuristic presumptions that are central to Africana philosophy as a metaphilosophical concept for organizing intellectual praxes. First, the presumption that there are sufficient distinguishing anthropological, historical, and other commonalities and similarities that are shared, more or less, by the many bio-cultural groupings of human beings who have been identified, and who subsequently generally have come to identify themselves, as, in part, \u201cAfrican\u201d or \u201cof African descent\u201d to warrant ordering under a general heading particular instances of philosophically articulate thought expressed by persons in these groupings and shared with and debated by others within and beyond the groupings. These identifications are consequences of the imposition on the peoples of the continent named \u201cAfrica\u201d of an attempted homogenizing racializing ontology by peoples of nation-states on another continent that was named \u201cEurope\u201d in an aspiration for geo-political and anthropological unification. Many \u201cEuropeans\u201d came to believe that beneath their many formidable differences there was a foundational commonality through shared raciality and other constitutive virtues that was definitive of their anthropological and historical superiority as harbingers of a theologically and philosophically sanctioned destiny to achieve global predominance. It was out of this toxic mix of convictions and aspirations that particular Europeans set about constructing racialized, rank-ordered philosophical anthropologies through which they construed a continent of diverse peoples as a single \u201crace\u201d of \u201cAfricans\u201d or \u201cNegroes.\u201d The outcomes of the histories of these inventive forgings through complex, centuries-long struggles against European imperialist impositions and the adaptive endurances of colonization and dispersing enslavements by persons and peoples African and African-descendant provide the warrant for the presumption of commonalities embraced by the concept Africana philosophy when considering the philosophizings of people African and African-descended subsequent to their encounters with impositions of imperialism by people(s) of Europe and European Diasporas.\nThis first presumption is tempered by a second: namely, that the bio-cultural groupings of peoples African and of African descent are not homogeneous, racially or otherwise, neither individually nor collectively, but are constituted by differences and dissimilarities as well as by similarities and commonalities. All the more so as consequences of the various groups having created differing life-worlds in differing geographical, political, and historical locations prior to and as a consequence of impositions and disruptions of their lives fostered by Europeans and others on one hand; and, on the other, while living interactions and cultural exchanges with other peoples, European and European-descended peoples included, which have given rise to differences in individual and group genomes, histories, cultures, interests, and aspirations. Furthermore, identified shared similarities and commonalities are understood to be contingent, thus neither necessary nor inherent and fixed and thus the same for all persons African or of African descent. This presumption rules out any ahistorical, a priori claims regarding supposedly definitive \u201cnatural\u201d characteristics of \u201cthe\u201d thought of African and African-descended peoples assumed as non-contingently widely and generally shared across extended historical times and geo-cultural spaces. Africana philosophy as an ordering concept, then, is neither the promise of, nor an aspiration for, a unifying philosophy already shared, or to be shared, by all properly thoughtful persons African and/or of African descent. Judgments regarding the always-contingent distinguishing features of philosophizing thought and expression by persons African and of African descent, and of the extent to which such features are shared\u2014to what degree, under what circumstances, to what ends\u2014are to be achieved by way of combined efforts of philosophical anthropology, sociology of knowledge, and intellectual histories: that is, by way of historically and socio-culturally situated comparative studies of instances of philosophizing.\nA third presumption: Africana philosophy should not be regarded as normatively prescriptive for philosophers identified as African or of African descent, as setting requirements for what their philosophizing must have been, or must be, about and to what ends because of their racial/ethnic identities. Such identities neither confer nor require particular philosophical commitments or obligations. Substantive differences among African and African-descended thinkers have been, and must continue to be, acknowledged and taken into account in the ordering of the field and setting agendas for Africana philosophy. There have been, are, and will likely continue to be persons African and of African descent for whom their identities as such are of no import for their philosophizing.\nOf particular importance, work in Africana philosophy is also conditioned by the presumption that contributors need not be persons African or of African descent. This presumption rests on the understanding that the conditioning circumstances, motivations, modes, agendas, and importance of the philosophically articulate thought and aesthetic expressions of persons African and of African descent can be identified, understood, researched, taught, commented on, and taken up with respectful competence by persons neither African nor of African descent. By virtue of their competencies such persons may be identified appropriately as, for example, \u201cAfricanists\u201d or \u201cAfro-Caribbeanists\u201d or \u201cAfrican Americanists.\u201d\nFinally, the extent to which these heuristic presumptions are cogent and effective in guiding work in Africana philosophy is a matter that is to be continuously explored and tested in the agora of disciplined, ethical scholarship and thus confirmed or disconfirmed, to whatever extent appropriate, in accord with proper methods of critical review properly deployed.\nThe metaphilosophical efforts to map out and order a complex discursive field of articulations and practices as Africana philosophy are, indeed, emergent disciplinary ventures of the late twentieth century. However, many of the instances of thoughtful articulation and aesthetic expressiveness that are being identified and explored as instances of philosophizing were neither produced nor guided by norms and agendas of the discipline of academic philosophy as institutionalized for centuries in various countries of Western European and North America. The same is true for the needs, motivations, objectives, and many of the principal intellectual resources that motivated and oriented those instances of articulation and creative expression and the formation of the networks of idea-spaces and discursive communities that nurtured them. For African and African-descended peoples were of little or no philosophical or anthropological significance to those who have been the designators, historians, practitioners, and mediators of the discipline\u2019s institutionalized canons of issues, figures, agendas, conceptual and methodological traditions, problem-sets, texts or text-analogs, organizations, and institutions. The pre-Modern histories of African and African-descended peoples; the centuries-long colonized, enslaved, and otherwise utterly dehumanizing unfreedom of Black peoples throughout the continents of Africa, Europe, the Americas, and the Caribbean; the rapacious unjust exploitation of their bodies, lands, resources, and life-opportunities\u2014all of these went mostly without explicit comment in the discipline of Philosophy, not even as a focus of protest, notwithstanding all of the vaunted concern within the discipline for conceptions of freedom, justice, equality, human nature, and human well-being generally. Even as European and European-descended philosophes of the eighteen, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries fashion decidedly new philosophical anthropologies, socio-political philosophies, and philosophies of histories into complex Enlightenments to ground and guide quests to realize the global instantiations of Modernities in which reason-guided freedom and justice would be foundational to the spread of the racialized, capitalist civilizational projects of Eurocentrism (Amin 1989), there was almost total silence about the intended and unintended consequences for peoples African and of African descent\u2014except for claims that colonization and enslavement would bring them much needed \u201ccivilizing.\u201d\nEvolving academic, and subsequently professionalized, Philosophy thus aided and abetted, and was a substantial institutionalized beneficiary of, these projects well into the twentieth century when the various forms and movements of resistance of African and African-descended peoples to dehumanization were made more challenging while animated by motivating declarations of their claims to their humanity and their rights to freedom, justice, and full citizenship. By the middle of the twentieth century, throughout Africa, the Caribbean, and the Americas these movements had won major victories of liberation from the oppressive regimes of Eurocentric racial apartheid and exploitation. The movements were also contributing to progressive transformations of these regimes that helped to open them to substantive measures of real freedom and justice not only for persons and peoples African and of African descent, but for other persons and peoples of color and, even, for women of European descent.\nThese historic movements and developments provided contemporary pioneers of Africana philosophy rich, exemplary ideas, idea-spaces, agendas, and social networks on which to draw for motivations, missions, and other resources to forge intellectual agendas and strategies and social networks needed for philosophizing in the interests of people African and of African descent. Hence, the twentieth-century emergence of Africana philosophy as an international field of and for discursive intellectual and expressive aesthetic work with a distinctive mission: to gather up and explore critically thoughtful articulations and aesthetic expressions by and about persons and peoples African and of African descent as instances of philosophizing; and to fashion revised or new articulations and artful expressions in keeping with, and as aids to, quests for freedom, justice, and human dignity by and for these persons and peoples.\nExamples of such mission-driven creative intellectual and expressive work in service to the liberation and redemption of Black peoples were already at hand in several other disciplines: in history and sociology, music and literature, art and dance, religion and theology. Moreover, outside of academic disciplines, many among several generations of fiercely independent, extraordinarily formally and informally educated (and in some instances self-taught) socially, politically, and aesthetically engaged female and male black intellectuals and artists, who devoted much of their lives to service as uplifters of Black peoples, had pursued their often very highly productive, and certainly very influential, intellectual and expressive work without ongoing affiliations with institutions of higher education, and without the assistance of sources of support for articulation and expression, that were dominated and controlled by Europeans and people of European descent. This independence was crucial to the production of their seminal reflections, articulations, and artistic creations and expressions. Many of them helped to found and were affiliated with and supported by religious and educational institutions, character-building women\u2019s and men\u2019s clubs and literary societies; international missionary ventures; benevolent and political organizations; publishing and commercial enterprises; and with local, regional, and international anti-colonial and liberatory organizations founded and operated by and devoted to the uplift, freedom, and well-being of African and African-descended peoples. As inspiring role models, much of their work became resource-reservoirs for new generations of women and men determined to continue the quests for liberation and justice for Black peoples. A matter of significant influence was that many of these important figures had become internationalists in understanding the similarities and commonalities of the plights suffered by African and African-descended peoples due to the shared agendas for racialized oppression and exploitation forged and fostered by White peoples of various nation-states. Consequently, more than a few of the new generations of twentieth-century African and African-descended fighters for freedom and justice cultivated internationalist, \u201cPan African\u201d (Geiss 1974) understandings of and aspirations for what would be needed in the way of intellectual resources and strategies to assist with claiming and realizing the full humanity of and just freedom for African and African-descended peoples.\nMany of the contemporary disciplinary pioneers of the philosophizings that are now being gathered under the umbrella of Africana philosophy, though participants in institutionalized, professional philosophy, have also been intellectual and spiritual members of the new generations of freedom fighters or otherwise substantially influenced by them. Thus, many have drawn their motivations, aspirations, and resources for philosophical work from beyond the canonized motivations and traditions of thought institutionalized in the discipline. Energized and emboldened by the legacies of the role models and liberatory movements, they have taken on the work of challenging the discipline in order to create room within its intellectual and organizational structures and processes wherein they could pursue agendas of giving consideration to matters of philosophical import to persons and peoples African and of African descent, and of particular import to themselves as persons African and of African descent engaged in philosophizing formally and professionally.\nAmong the challenges was the need, first, to reconsider long-prevailing defining assumptions regarding the nature of properly \u201cphilosophical\u201d thought: namely, that such thought is characterized by a loving quest for wisdom pursued by persons who have the most highly cultivated forms of disciplined thought, and whose lives are materially conditioned such that they have the leisure to devote substantial amounts of their time and energy to reflective thought and to working out their thinking for articulate, systematic expression in writing.\nIt became apparent to many\u2014though by no means to all\u2014of the contemporary pioneers of Africana philosophy within academic philosophy that this image of the ideal philosopher was not appropriate for respectfully identifying or characterizing many of the philosophically thoughtful and expressive persons African and of African descent, those, especially, who lived several centuries ago. Certainly, throughout the centuries of radically disruptive and dehumanizing encounters between peoples African and of African descent and peoples of Europe and of the Euro-Americas, and others, the philosophizing efforts of Black people have, indeed, been \u201cborn of struggle,\u201d as the philosopher Leonard Harris has so aptly noted. The experiences, thus the philosophizing, of many of these persons\u2014and of generations of millions who were their contemporaries, millions more who came before them, and millions more who came after them\u2014were conditioned profoundly by racialized and gendered exploitative settler-colonialism in their homelands; for others by racialized and gendered capture, relocation, enslavement, and oppression in The New World thousands of miles from their or their ancestors\u2019 homelands; and in all such cases by racialized and gendered imperialist encroachments on the very core of their being by which they were forced to become and to be colonized \u201cnatives\u201d and slaves, ontologically as well as socio-economically. Survival and endurance of such conditions by those who managed to do so required coordinated efforts of recovery and retention, or the recreation, of the integrity of personhood and peoplehood, even of basic humaneness, thus required thoughtful ontological and political work of the most fundamental significance. So, too, crucial intellectual efforts of the kinds designated moral, ethical, epistemological, social, religious, theological, and aesthetic.\nThus, survival and endurance of conditions of racialized and gendered colonization, enslavement, and oppression\u2014not conditions of leisured freedom\u2014compelled more than a few African and African-descended persons to philosophize. Almost daily, even on what seemed the most mundane of occasions, oppressed Black people were compelled to consider the most fundamental existential questions: Continue life during what would turn out to be centuries-long colonization and enslavement, of brutal, brutalizing and humiliating gendered and racialized oppression? Or, seek \u201cfreedom\u201d in death? Suffer despair until mad? Or, find resources for continued living through surreptitiously nurtured appreciations of the sacred and beautiful, of irony and tragic comedy, while cultivating hope and patience aided by discoveries and creations of beauty and humaneness in the midst of the physical and soul-distorting psychological brutalities of enforced impoverishments of conditions that were not in any way \u201cmundane\u201d living? Die at one\u2019s own initiation? Or, capitulate to dehumanization? Or, struggle to find and sustain faith and hope for a better life, on earth as well as in the afterlife, through creativity and beauty in speech, dance, and song while at work and rest; in thought and artistry; in finding and making truth and right; in seeking and doing justice; in forging and sustaining relations of family and community when such relations were largely prohibited; in rendering life sacred?\nFor centuries, persons African and of African descent, for themselves as well as for their associates and successors, have had to ponder the most fundamental questions of existence as a direct consequence of their life-constraining, life-distorting encounters with various self-racializing and other-racializing peoples of Europe, the Euro-Americas, and elsewhere. And in choosing to live and endure, peoples African and of African descent have had to forge, test out with their lives, and then refine and further live out explicit strategies by which to avoid being broken by brutality and humiliation and succumbing to fear, despair, or the soul-devouring obsession with vengeance. They have had to share with their associates, and those succeeding them, their creative and sustaining legacies for infusing life with spirit-lifting artfulness and their articulated ponderings and strategies for surviving, living, and enduring with hope despite the circumstances. They have had to philosophize, and to share their philosophizings, in order to forge the cross-generational bonds of respectful, extended-family, community-sustaining love and mutuality without which neither survival nor endurance would have been possible.\nIndeed, endurance of gendered and racialized colonization, enslavement, and oppression that would be continued for centuries required very compelling, sustaining, persuasive beliefs and nurtured investments in finding and creating soul-nurturing art and experience-verified praxis-guiding thoughtfulness. These beliefs and aesthetic considerations had to be articulated and communicated for sharing, sometimes surreptitiously, in order that persons and peoples endure. And enduring required that the brutalities and humiliations had to be countered that were directed, first and foremost, at the defining core of their very being\u2014that is, at their foundational notions of themselves as persons and as distinctive, racialized peoples\u2014so as to bring about their cross-generational living of social death (Patterson 1982). This particular persons did, throughout Africa and African Diasporas, and without either the guidance or sanction of academic Philosophy and the discipline\u2019s most canonical practitioners even as some among the latter subjected African and African-descended peoples to their ontological racism.\nIt has been instances of such compelled, articulated thoughtfulness that contemporary proponents of Africana philosophy have brought into the discipline of academic Philosophy as the initial historic instances of philosophizing constituting the new field. The identification and careful exploration of and commentary on the forms and efficacies of this growing collection of works of thoughtful articulation and aesthetic expression are now principal forms of endeavor in Africana philosophy. The creation and expression of new articulations and expressions of thoughtfulness by persons African and of African descent, and by other philosophers not African or of African descent, on these works as well as on old, continuing, or emergent issues pertinent to Africans and people of African descent make for other forms of endeavor in Africana philosophy.\nThese efforts of recovery, exploration, commentary, and critique constitute an ongoing project-of-projects with several agendas. A first agenda involves, as just noted, the identification and recovery of instances and legacies of the \u2018philosophizings born of struggles\u2019. Another very important agenda is the identification and recovery of philosophizings that were engaged in long before the centuries-long struggles with peoples of Europe began. A third agenda is to learn from the philosophizings the lessons of the considerations that governed or substantially conditioned the organization and living of life in the various circumstances in which peoples of Africa forged their evolutionary adaptations. Another agenda: to understand and appreciate fully those philosophizings that nurtured endurance in the face of brutalizing assaults on peoples\u2019 being in order to learn from the life-affirming, very passionate intellectual and emotional endeavors of those among severely abused peoples who have been, and continue to be, those who work at gathering themselves, their peoples, and even those who have abused them into humane integrity, individually and collectively. It is to learn how and why it was and is that from among peoples abused and degraded for centuries in conditions of continuous terrorism there have been steady successions of persons who have spared substantial portions of the emotional and intellectual energies they managed to preserve and cultivate, along with nurtured senses of their sacred humanity, to devote to quests for freedom and justice, hardly ever to quests for vengeance.\nYet another agenda is to compare the philosophizings of persons African and of African descent intra-racially and inter-racially, as it were\u2014that is, to seek out the similarities and differences in the various instances and modes of thought and expression of persons situated in similar and different times and places in order to learn more about the forms and agendas of human species-being as manifested in philosophizing. An important consequence of pursuing this agenda should be significant contributions to inventories of thoughtfulness and aesthetic expression in the storehouses of human civilizations, contributions to the enlargement and enrichment of canons of Philosophy, and contributions to revisions of histories and of historiography in the discipline.\nStill another agenda is to make of Africana philosophy a collection of resources that inspire philosophizing, now and in the future, and that guide such philosophizings by the best lessons found in the collection, among them lessons in how to gain and sustain integrity of body and soul, of person, of womanhood and manhood, of childhood and young-adulthood, of family and community, of \u201cracial\u201d and cultural being, of belief in the sacred sanctity of truth, of justice, and of freedom through the exercise of faith and hope-sustaining, pragmatically focused reasoning and creative aesthetic expression in cross-generational conditions of dehumanizing brutality. Among the lessons to be relearned: how not to abuse persons and peoples; how not to rationalize abuse; how not to live massive lies and contradictions and lives of hypocrisy.\nWhat follows are brief surveys of several historically contextualized developments of philosophizing now being explored as instances of the philosophizing constitutive of the field of \u201cAfricana philosophy.\u201d The survey is not meant to be exhaustive, but one that provides examples and solicits additional contributions in order to make the account more comprehensive and accurate.\nThe various peoples on the continent that came to be called \u201cAfrica\u201d had constructed a variety of more or less complex societies of varying scale and scope many generations before fifteenth century encounters with acquisitive explorers and adventurers from the varying configurations of polities, regions, cities, and states that have been identified as Europe and from elsewhere. Several of these ancient societies\u2014the kingdoms of Mali and Ghana and the royal dynasties of Kemet (Ancient Egypt), for example\u2014had evolved complex social strata that included persons of accomplished learning. Some of these persons were stationed in institutions devoted to the production and distribution of knowledge and creative expression and to the preservation of that knowledge and expression in written and artistic works stored in libraries and other repositories and, in the case of works of art, incorporated into the ontologically-structured routines of daily life. Others, in social orders in which advanced knowledge was produced and mediated via oral literatures and traditions, were selected and trained to be griots: that is, persons with rigorously structured memories who thus became the living repositories, guardians, and mediators of a people\u2019s and/or a political community\u2019s genealogies and intellectual legacies, their keepers of wisdom. And in order to preserve shared, adaptive life across generations in all of the various social orders, it was socially necessary to construct and maintain interpretive orderings of natural and social realities, as well of creatively imagined origins and genealogies and constructed histories, by which to meaningfully order individual and shared life.\nThe production of these interpretive and expressive orderings, the working out of the norms by which to structure, justify, and legitimate the interpretations so as to order personal and social life, were, indeed, \u201cphilosophical\u201d endeavors: labors devoted to the production of successful, time-tested, enduring thought-praxis and aesthetic strategies by which to resolve emergent and recurrent challenges to transgenerational survival and flourishing. These were experience-conditioned thoughtful means by which to provide knowledge to guide the ordering of meaningful individual and shared life transmitted across generations past, present, and future. Such efforts are as old as the peoples now routinely referred to as \u201cAfricans.\u201d And the efforts were not destroyed by the holocausts of imperialist colonization and domination, nor by racialized enslavement and apartheid-oppression, fostered by Europeans and others. Still, the philosophizing efforts were disrupted and distorted to various degrees in many instances, were creatively adaptive in many others.\nFor example, during twentieth century anti-colonial and decolonizing struggles to regain freedom from the domination and authoritative jurisdiction of white racial supremacy over the lives, lands, and resources of African peoples, the disruptions and distortions would compel reinvigorated and determined adaptive creativity on the part of African peoples who endeavored to recover and repair old, and/or to invent new, agendas and strategies for living in keeping with their will to endure. There is a long history of efforts by scholars African and of African descent to reclaim Egypt from the intellectual annexation to Europe that was urged by Hegel in his The Philosophy of History. It is still the case that many people throughout Europe and the United States regard Egypt as being in \u201cthe Middle East\u201d rather than as constituting the northern portion of the African continent. This costly mis-education of popular imaginations persists, as well, in historical accounts of various areas of thought (though increasingly less so in historiography related to Africa). The systematic production of ignorance and distorted, unethical \u201cknowledge\u201d about the peoples of Continental Africa persists in academic Philosophy, especially in the training of new professionals; in the writing of canonical histories of the discipline; and in the construction of disciplinary curricula though progressive change has begun. Few in academic Philosophy not engaged in the work of Africana philosophy are likely to know of a long tradition of scholarship contesting the claims of the Greco-Roman \u201corigins\u201d of Philosophy, an example of which is the controversial work by George G.M. James, Stolen Legacy (James 1954), in which he argues, as the title declares, that Greek thinkers \u201cstole\u201d Egyptian intellectual legacies that have since been attributed erroneously to Greek thinkers as their creations.\nA provocative and controversial argument, indeed. Still, widespread disciplinary ignorance regarding the histories of ancient peoples and civilizations other than those stipulated as being ancestors of European White peoples is a direct and continuing consequence of racism in the formation, organization, and practices of communities of discourse and scholarship and the development of racially segregated idea-spaces, intellectual traditions and networks, and scholarly organizations throughout Europe and North America. For example, few academic philosophers and workers in other disciplines who are neither African nor of African descent are likely to know of the Association for the Study of Classical African Civilizations, an international organization of scholars and intellectuals African and of African descent who are determined to \u201crescue and rehabilitate\u201d the histories, intellectual traditions, and wisdom philosophies of Ancient Africa. Thus, few academic philosophers are likely to know of the scholarship of various persons in the Association such as Maulana Karenga (1986) and Jacob H. Carruthers (1984). Both scholars have contributed additional research and scholarship to studies devoted to reclaiming Egyptian thought-traditions as African traditions of thought. These scholars\u2019 efforts and works are paradigmatic examples of the determined production and mediation of new knowledge of African and African-descended peoples by African and African-descended, and other, scholars who have deliberately worked independently of the mainstream organizations of academic professionals in Philosophy and other disciplines.\nWith little to no evidence in much of the canonical literature and curricula of academic Philosophy that Western philosophers have focused attention on questions of historical relations between Egyptian and Greco-Roman thinkers, or on African thinkers and traditions of thought, a number of the pioneers of Africana philosophy have turned to independent, often controversial figures and scholarly projects outside of academic, professional Philosophy for their inspiration and for intellectual resources and strategies in taking on the challenges of creating intellectual spaces in academic Philosophy for \u201cmatters African.\u201d A major resource and intellectual mentor continue to be works by and the person of Cheikh Anta Diop, the intellectually daring and pioneering Senegalese scholar who, in The African Origin of Civilization: Myth or Reality, published in the early 1970s, argued for the reality of the African origin of human civilization. Diop had begun the challenging work of reclaiming African heritages decades earlier by arguing in a dissertation submitted for the Ph.D. at the University of Paris that ancient Egyptian civilization was a black African civilization. His explorations in support of his claims have enormous implications for revisions to histories of the origins of Western Philosophy. Similarly, Martin Bernal\u2019s loudly and heatedly contested multi-volume Black Athena: The Afroasiatic Roots of Classical Civilization is by far the most widely read, and intensely debated, work in this vein to which many have turned. However, Bernal\u2019s work, which acknowledges a long line of African and African-descended scholars who are his precursors, Diop included, has raised hardly a ripple in academic Philosophy. The discipline has thus long been overdue for a spirited and disciplined critical reconsideration of the possibilities and realities of informing Greco-Roman and African Egyptian contributions to the histories of emergence and development of philosophical thought that has been canonized as foundational to the genealogy of Western Philosophy. Africana philosophy has been forged as a novel context of provocations for such critical reconsiderations.\nMeanwhile, for several decades academic philosophers in Africa, and elsewhere, have been involved in intense debates and discussions that have prompted reconstructions of disciplinary enterprises of Philosophy (departments in educational institutions as well as national and international organizations of professional philosophers). The initial focal question at the center of the debates and discussions was whether or not there were proper instances of Philosophy in traditional (i.e., pre-Modern) Sub-Saharan Africa, in particular. The publication in 1945 of Placide Tempels\u2019 La Philosophie Bantoue triggered much of the debate.\nThe historical context in which the debates and discussions emerged and in which they were waged was conditioned thoroughly by European colonial domination and exploitation of African peoples rationalized through rank-ordering racial characterizations. This rationalizing work was aided significantly by the intellectual efforts of canonical European philosophers. David Hume, in a footnote in his \u201cOf National Characters,\u201d philosophized about the \u201cnatural inferiority\u201d of Negroes to White people (Hume 1742) and was supported by Immanuel Kant (1764), who elaborated his own theory of inferior and superior racial types in his writings on anthropology (Kant 1798). Since successive generations of European and Euro-American White people had been educated into widely-shared common senses of their racial superiority to inferior Africans by such supposedly philosophically well-reasoned, science-verified, and theologically sanctioned teachings, the claim that there were Africans capable of producing thought of the caliber of Philosophy was regarded by most of them as utterly preposterous.\nAt the core of the controversy was the pressing question whether African persons were fully and sufficiently human and capable intellectually in comparison to the model human par excellence: the man of Europe, the White Man, the avatar for all White people and for humanity proper, whose defining characteristics were capacities for reasoning and articulate speech (logos). Consequently, the claim of Bantu Philosophy made by Placide Tempels, a Belgium priest engaged in missionary work in the then-called Belgian Congo, that Bantu Africans (related ethnic groups identified by the dominant language group, Bantu, spoken by the related groups) had an indigenous philosophy was a serious challenge to the racialized philosophical ontology-cum-anthropology that undergirded colonial domination and exploitation. However, Tempels tempered the unsettling implications of his claim by also claiming that Bantu Africans did not have conscious knowledge of their philosophy. Rather, he claimed, it was he who was able, using the tools at his disposal by virtue of his training in Philosophy, to engage in a hermeneutic of the practices and language of the Bantu and extract the constitutive epistemology and axiology structuring the operative, behavior-guiding philosophy at work in their linguistic practices and normative actions.\nNonetheless, the impact of Bantu Philosophy was substantial. Of particular consequence, the debates it prompted helped to direct the attention of researchers and scholars in several disciplines (anthropology, ethnology, history, religion, philosophy) to the identification and exploration of the articulate systems of thought of various groups of \u201ctraditional\u201d Africans. A number of European scholars and researchers who had spent years studying and living among various African peoples were pleased to find confirmed in Tempels\u2019 book their own positive assessments of Africans\u2019 thought-systems, social organization, and artistic creativity. Others, however, disagreed and challenged Tempels\u2019 claims, in a particular case criticizing him for mistaking an \u201cimpetus for\u201d philosophy in the language and behavior of Bantu-speaking Africans as evidence of a developed capacity for articulating a proper Philosophy. This critic concluded that Bantu-Africans had not yet fulfilled the conceptual conditions for \u201ctaking off\u201d into philosophizing properly (Crahay 1965). Other scholars engaged in comparative explorations of thought-systems of various African peoples countered the criticism by providing accounts of a number of such systems that gave clear evidence of their very capable and developed rationality (Forde 1954; Fortes 1965).\nThe subsequent decades of debates (mid 1940 through the 1980s) regarding the possibility of African philosophy and disclosures of the long-developed rationality and humanity of African peoples were significant consequences for intellectual agendas and practices of revolutionary developments in political arenas manifested in anti-colonial struggles throughout the African continent, and in efforts to construct new political, economic, social, and cultural orders after the successes of those struggles. A significant number among new generations of African intellectuals\u2014many of them educated in institutions in Africa, many of which were administered by persons of European descent; and more than a few of them educated further in the most elite institutions of the colonizing \u201cMother Country\u201d\u2014became radicalized in their opposition to racialized colonial domination and exploitation of African peoples and resources. A number of these engaged intellectuals regarded Tempels and similarly oriented European and Euro-American thinkers as allies in their struggles against the dehumanizing rationalizations that supported European colonialism. Some regarded Bantu Philosophy as a defense, even a vindication, of Africans as rational human beings quite capable of managing their own lives and therefore capable of independence from colonial rule. Others, however, thought Tempels\u2019 claims, and similar offerings by others, were misguided and misleading candidates for proper instances of philosophical thought by Africans. For these dissenters such candidates were really more ethnological studies of African peoples than philosophical articulations by them, and that their proponents were more misguided in seeming to attribute unconscious, unwritten, and widely shared putative philosophical systems to all of the persons in the particular groups under discussion. These dissenters disparaged such accounts as \u201cethno-philosophy.\u201d\nAfrican and African-descended intellectuals involved in and otherwise supporting anti-colonial liberation struggles and post-colonial efforts to rehabilitate and further development new African nation-states found in these raging debates intellectual weapons with which to reclaim, reconstruct, and redefine the histories, personhood, peoplehood, needs, and future possibilities of African peoples. Life under exploitative, dehumanizing colonialism compelled intellectual and artistic engagements with prevailing conditions and spurred the nurturing of imaginative visions of possibilities of liberation and of how liberation might be achieved; whether and how modes and agendas of life before the holocausts might be recovered, restored, or adapted to new circumstances as thinkers and practitioners of the religious and theological, creative and expressive artists of literature, music, sculpture, dance, and painting all grappled with the profound existential challenges of the loss of personal and communal integrity through the violent imposition of the conflicts of Tradition and Modernity and the need for liberation and freedom. Twentieth-century struggles on the African continent have thus had significant consequences for, and impacts on, creative intellectual and expressive work in and with regard to continental Africa, and the African Diaspora generally, in giving rise to widespread, prolific, and in many cases especially important articulations of social, political, ethical, and expressive aesthetic thought and feeling. These articulations and expressions have become important object-lessons as well as inspiring resources of agendas and critiques drawn on to forge distinctive disciplinary enterprises of academic Philosophy. They have become, as well, the focus of informative critical thought for a number of philosophers focusing on \u201cmatters African.\u201d\nFor example, the Tempels-inspired debates over the possibilities for and nature of philosophizing by persons African became focused, for a time, on discussions of the nature and anthropological distributions of modes of rationality unique to philosophizing, discussions that quickly prompted intense debates about the universality or relativity of \u201creason,\u201d whether there were cultural (or racial or ethnic) differences in the nature or the exercise of reasoning, by persons African in particular historical and cultural contexts in particular. Positions taken in these and other focal debates were developed from the resources of a variety of traditions and schools of academic Philosophy and other disciplines, including analytic philosophy, phenomenology, hermeneutical, and existential philosophizings, various modes of social and political philosophy, and Afrocentrism.\nToday there are a significant and still growing number of formally trained African philosophers throughout the world who draw on and contribute to the discipline and profession of Philosophy. Explicit developments of discursive formations, within and beyond the discipline, that are distinguished as being \u201cAfrican\u201d have been unfolding through efforts by persons African, African-descended, and not of African descent to identify, reconstruct, and create traditions and repositories of literate African thought and artistic expression\u2014oral, written, and in iconic forms of art\u2014as forms of philosophizing. An important development has been the taking on for serious consideration the expressed articulate thought of particular persons past and present who were and are without formal training or degrees, in academic Philosophy especially, but who have engaged in and articulated more or less systematic reflections on various aspects of life, and the inclusion of instances and traditions of such expressed articulate thought in revised and new canons of African philosophical thought. An important leading example of efforts along these lines has been the groundbreaking work of deceased Kenyan philosopher H. Odera Oruka on the philosophical thought of traditional African sages. Engaging in actual field work in Kenya, Oruka interviewed and conversed with several locally recognized and respected sages and amassed a substantial body of transcribed, critically edited, and now published texts that are the focus of critical studies as well as motivations for more refined work of the same kind in numerous places on the African continent. Other philosophers, a number of them from other countries and not of African descent, have taken up Oruka\u2019s lead and continue to explore the articulate thought of indigenous sages while incorporating the sages\u2019 articulations into their research, scholarship, and course-offerings. \u201cSage philosophy\u201d has thus become a subfield of energetic work in Africana philosophy in continental Africa (Oruka 1990b).\nThe Tempels-inspired debates over whether African or African-descended peoples have philosophies or can philosophize have been resolved\u2014or are no longer taken seriously\u2014and given way to explorations of other concerns. Both the anti-colonial struggles and the challenges of sustaining post-colonial successes and resolving setbacks and failures have prompted much academic philosophizing. The evidence is the development of programs of study leading to advanced and terminal degrees in Philosophy with strong emphasis, in a number of instances, on African philosophy in a significant number of institutions of higher education in several countries (Kenya, Nigeria, Peoples Republic of Congo, Ivory Coast, Republic of Benin, Senegal, South Africa); the appearance of a variety of journals and other published (and unpublished) philosophical writings and other modes of articulate expression (literary works, especially); the development of national organizations (in Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Egypt, and elsewhere) and international organizations (the Inter-African Council of Philosophy and the Afro-Asian Philosophy Association, the latter with headquarters in Cairo, Egypt, with members from throughout North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, Turkey, Europe, and elsewhere) of professional philosophers and other knowledge-workers; and the organization of national, regional, and international conferences devoted to explorations of topics and issues explicitly characterized as philosophical.\nThe continuing maturation of these developments is evident in the emergence of different philosophical orientations, agendas, and foci that have, in turn, prompted several thinkers to endeavor to develop critical, metaphilosophical overviews of developing schools or trends that account for their emergence and implications, their similarities and differences. H. Odera Oruka (1990a) provided one such overview and distinguished what he termed four \u201ccurrents\u201d in African philosophy. One of these, already mentioned, he joined others in labeling and characterizing as ethno-philosophy: that is, second-order works that purport to identify and engage in an exegesis of the philosophical schemes and significances of articulated thoughts and expressions, acts, and modes of behavior shared by and thus characteristic of particular African ethnic groups. Another current, previously mentioned as having been initiated by Oruka, he termed philosophic sagacity to distinguish what he regarded as the rigorous and critically reflective thought of independent-minded indigenous thinkers who were not formally educated in modern schools. Nationalist-ideological philosophy for Oruka was constituted by the articulations of persons actively engaged in political life, especially those who led or otherwise contributed substantially to struggles for African independence and sought to articulate conceptions by which to create new, liberatory social and political orders. His designation for a fourth current, professional philosophy, was reserved for work by academically trained professional teachers and scholars of academic Philosophy and their students.\nOther nuanced characterizations and examinations of trends in philosophizing on the African continent have been developed. O. Nkombe and Alphonse J. Smet (1978) identified an ideological trend, quite similar in characterization to Oruka\u2019s \u201cnationalist-ideological current,\u201d that includes several very rich lines of articulate socio-political thought devoted to reconstructing the political and cultural situations of African peoples that were consequences of European imperialism, enslavement, and colonization: African personality; Pan-Africanism; N\u00e9gritude; African humanism; African socialism; scientific socialism; Consciencism; and African \u201cauthenticity.\u201d A second trend, the traditionalist, includes efforts that are quite similar to Oruka\u2019s sage philosophy in that the efforts are focused on identifying philosophizing practices by traditional Africa thinkers, exploring the philosophical aspects of manifestations of these practices, and examining just how these practices resulted in the development of repositories of wisdom and esoteric knowledge. Nkombe and Smet identified a third trend: the intellectual orientations and practices of critical thinkers characterized by these thinkers\u2019 critiques of the projects of persons grouped in the ideological and traditionalist trends structuring their critiques by norms and strategies drawn from familiar Left-critical (Marxist), Liberal Democratic, and creative appropriations of other traditions of European thought. Thinkers in the critical group applied the label \u201cethno-philosophy\u201d to a number of the instances of thought in the traditionalist trend to set apart the latter modes of thought, as previously noted, as more akin to ethnology than proper philosophizing. Finally, Nkombe and Smet labeled a fourth grouping the synthetic trend, one characterized by the use of philosophical hermeneutics to explore issues and to examine new problems emerging in African contexts.\nStill other scholars have attributed somewhat different characterizations to these and other traditions or modes of philosophizing in Africa and, importantly, identified newer developments. An example of the latter is the pathsetting metaphilosophical and anthologizing work of Emmanuel Chukwudi Eze, the deceased philosopher from Nigeria who pioneered bringing into several idea-spaces and discursive communities of academic Philosophy in the United States and Africa the interdisciplinary writings of contemporary scholars and artists from across Africa, African Diasporas, and other countries all of whom are significant contributors to postcolonial philosophizings. These are critical explorations of the challenges and opportunities facing Africans and people of African descent in various national and transnational situations defined by configurations of conditions after colonialism in which political liberation has not ended the suffering of African peoples, resolved long-running problems of individual and social identity, or settled questions regarding the most appropriate relations of individuals to communities; of appropriate roles and responsibilities of women and men and their relations to one another; of justice and equity after centuries of injustice and dehumanization; or of the most appropriate terms on which to order social and political life (Eze 1997).\nThe heuristic value of the concept of postcolonial is not to be underappreciated, for the various instances in which the successes of defeating the classical, directly administered colonial ventures in Africa of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries have been compromised by situations of indirect rule, or neocolonialism, effected through economic control of the new African nation-states by Western European and U.S. American transnational capitalist enterprises and multinational organizations and agencies supposedly providing advice and aid. These compromises must be fully appreciated in order to understand the prospects for full national independence and self-determination in the areas of economic, political, social, and cultural life generally. Of decisive issue is on what terms, via which strategies, African countries will contend with emergent challenges, some of which are of magnitudes and character neither encountered nor imaginable by \u201ctraditional\u201d African thinkers, or, even, by contemporary thinkers. Foremost are the challenges from the scourge of HIV AIDS, which is proving to have as much impact demographically, thus in other areas of life, as were depletions of populations during the centuries of export enslavement though with consequential differential impacts on age groups. Likewise challenging are questions of the priority and efficacy of armed struggle and the terms of engagement in light of recent and ongoing histories of such ventures on the African continent, too many of which involve conscripting children into armies as armed warriors. Still other challenges: the terms and practices of political governance, at the level of the state especially, as many African nations struggle against collapse or debilitating dysfunction due to corruption, crippling economic exploitation, massive underdevelopment of human capital\u2014of females especially\u2014scarcities of food and other vital resource, and due to campaigns of genocide as ethnic affirmations coupled with ethnic denunciations \u2018go imperial\u2019.\nScholarly efforts to develop informative and critical metaphilosophical overviews of African philosophical trends, currents, and schools of thought, in part to forge new conceptions through which to take up these and other pressing challenges, are confirmation of the rich diversity of formal philosophizing by academic philosophers and other intellectuals and artists that emerged on the African continent during recent decades, and of the continuing maturation of their efforts. A significant number of these intellectual workers, philosophers among them, have cultivated international relationships with other scholars and artists and their organizations; and some of them have spent several years in, or even relocated to, the United States, Canada, France, Germany, Great Britain, and other countries for both formal education and to work in institutions of higher education. In the process of doing so many have also developed the professional relations, practices, and levels of accomplishment and recognition that have led to the publication of works that are continuing to attract wider critical attention in various discursive communities and are being added to course and seminar readings. These movements, relocations, cultivations of transnational relationships, and expansion of the literature of published works have enriched the development of new idea-spaces, the circulation of ideas, the formation of new discursive communities, and thereby contributed substantially to the development of Africana philosophy. There are now histories of African philosophy and major collections of writings in the subfield by professional African, African-descended, and other philosophers published by major, transnational publishing firms covering a still-expanding list of subject-matters organized, in many instances, by themes long established in academic Philosophy: historical studies; issues of methodology, logic, epistemology, metaphysics, ethics, and aesthetics; philosophy of religion; political and social philosophy (Hallen 2009; Kwame 1995; Mosley 1995; Wiredu 2004). In several noteworthy instances, these philosophizings are conducted by way of deliberate explorations of articulations of the settled thought structuring the life-worlds of particular ethnic groups. Such explorations are being conducted in increasing numbers and, in the process, are rehabilitating and giving new meaning and heuristic direction to the once disparaged notion of \u201cethno-philosophy\u201d by establishing the legitimacy and resourcefulness of culturally and ethnologically contextualized studies of articulated thought. As well, such studies will prove important for comparative studies of philosophizing (Bell 2002). Hopefully, these efforts will motivate similar studies in other parts of the world, contribute to comparative studies that will enhance our understandings of philosophizing globally, and curtail practices of making false generalizations in some modes of philosophical discourse, as, for example, characterizing the thought-endeavors of canonical Greek and European thinkers as being \u201cuniversal\u201d in their defining features or salience while being silent about the racial/ethnic, cultural, and gendered characteristics of the endeavors on the pretext that such matters are of no consequence for the thinkers\u2019 \u201cphilosophy.\u201d\nAs an ongoing project-of-projects, it would be unwise to attempt a comprehensive and definitive catalog and assessment of the thematic foci across the full range of articulations and discussions still being gathered and explored under the heading of \u201cAfrican philosophy\u201d even as new discussions are emerging. Still, a number of developments are worth noting.\nSeveral canonical subfields of academic philosophical discourses stand to be enriched by the inclusion of explorations of subject-matters within African contexts. As already noted, historical accounts of \u201cPhilosophy,\u201d in the so-called \u201cWest\u201d especially, are being reconsidered in light of critical explorations of more recently disclosed relations between and among peoples and places in Africa and \u201cthe West\u201d or Europe\u2014among Greece, Rome, and Egypt definitely\u2014and in light of further explorations of the impact of such relations on even canonical thinkers in Europe. In general, the discussion of \u201cthe origin of philosophy\u201d in Ancient Greece must be replaced by comparative explorations of the emergence of philosophizing in various settings around planet earth, including pre-colonial North Africa, Ethiopia (home of Zera Yacob and Walda Heyat, two seventeenth century philosophers (Sumner 1976\u201378)), and places on the continent in which Arabic was a principal language.\nAs well, new questions should be posed and explored, among these the following: How are canonical figures and subject-matters of the European Enlightenments to be understood in light of the extensive involvements of European nation-states\u2014and of canonical figures\u2014in colonial imperialism and the enslavement of African peoples? How did the centuries-long institutionalization of enslavement affect the philosophizing of various European thinkers with regard to notions of freedom, the person, the citizen, justice, of manhood and womanhood? What was the impact on canonical European thinkers of the presence among them of the articulated thought and the persons of such figures as Anton Wilhelm Amo (c. 1703\u20131758), a native of Ghana who, at age three, was transported to the Netherlands to be educated and baptized in keeping with colonial Dutch efforts to Christianize Africans? Amo settled in Germany and became a highly educated and influential teacher-philosopher. As more research and scholarship on such figures are completed, understandings of eighteenth century intellectual communities in Germany and elsewhere in Europe will have to be revised; so, too, notions of the meanings and influences of notions of race and their impacts on intellectual productions as well as on social life.\nWork in Africana philosophy in general, and African philosophy in particular, compels comparative studies. No longer can it be presumed, certainly not taken for granted, that many canonical notions, even so-called \u201cperennial\u201d or \u201cuniversal\u201d issues, have the salience or global significance these issues have long been assumed to have. Conceptions of personhood in several indigenous African schemes of thought (of Akan and Yoruba peoples, for example) invite comparisons and rethinking of notions of personhood long sanctioned in some legacies of Western European and North American philosophizing. For example, Kwasi Wiredu (1987) of Ghana has argued persuasively that in the indigenous conceptual-ontological schemes of the Akan it would not be possible, in the normal course of matters, to generate the \u201cmind-body problem\u201d so central to the philosophizing of Ren\u00e9 Descartes. Explorations of matters of logic, epistemology, philosophy of mind, and metaphysics in Akan and other schemes of thought will illuminate the extent to which Western European and North American inventories of philosophical \u201cproblems\u201d will have to be revised. Likewise for explorations in the areas of religion, aesthetics, politics, and the meaning of social life.\nWhile there are near daunting challenges being faced by African peoples and other citizens of the continent\u2019s nation-states that compel problem-solving philosophizing for enhanced living, there are, too, example-lessons of such engaged philosophizing that warrant close and appreciative study. One such example is the transformation under way in South Africa from the White Racial Supremacy of racial apartheid to a multiracial, multiethnic democracy. A crucial factor conditioning the transformation has been the soul-wrenching work of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), which sponsored public hearings during which victims of the evils of apartheid, and perpetrators of the evils, disclosed the truths of their suffering and of their dehumanizing aggression, respectively. Grounding premises of the TRC project were that disclosures of the truths of suffering and of abuse were necessary in order to achieve restorative justice, not just compensatory or retributive justice; and that restorative justice is in keeping with philosophical notions such as ubuntu\u2014love, generosity, forgiveness\u2014that are foundational to communal life at its best, thus are essential to the rehabilitative healing that must be lived through in forging new persons for a new and democratic South Africa (Bell 2002, Chapter 5, \u201cAfrican Moral Philosophy II: Truth and Reconciliation,\u201d pp. 85\u2013107). Here, then, a case-study in the articulation and testing out of a new conception of justice, of ethics more generally, in an African context, a case-study that should already be substantively instructive. Such comparative work in academic Philosophy that engages seriously and respectfully philosophical articulations of African and African-descendant thinking has only just begun\u2026\nThe centuries of enslaving-relocations of millions of African peoples to the New Worlds of colonies-cum-nation-states created by European and Euro-American settler-colonists beginning in the sixteenth century, and the subsequent centuries-long continuations of descendants of these African peoples in, and migrations of others to, these locales, occasioned the formation of new peoples of African descent in the Americas, the Caribbean, Europe, and elsewhere. Individuals and groupings of these peoples developed and perpetuated shared creative responses to the impositions of various forms of systematized racialized oppression and class exploitation motivated and rationalized by notions of White Racial Supremacy, and further complicated by considerations of sexuality and gender. In the New Worlds, as had become the case in Africa after the colonizing and enslaving incursions of acquisitive peoples from Europe and the Arabian peninsula, the recurrent and decisive foci of life in the racialized crucibles were the struggles to endure while resolving mind- and soul-rending tensions that threatened and otherwise conditioned self- and community-formation and living.\nThere were several major sources of these tensions. One, the traumas of the radical dislocations experienced by the millions of persons kidnapped and purchased into relocation to enslavement through terrifying transport across thousands of miles of ocean during which many thousands died. Another, the soul and psyche-taxing ambiguities and ambivalences of being compelled to become and be, in important senses, both New World \u201cAfrican\u201d and \u201cAmerican,\u201d \u201cCanadian,\u201d \u201cBrazilian,\u201d \u201cPuerto Rican,\u201d \u201cTrinidadian,\u201d \u201cHaitian,\u201d \u201cJamaican,\u201d \u201cFrench,\u201d \u201cBritish,\u201d etc., while, as slaves, being denied full access to the resources of the prevailing meanings and practical realizations of the defining identities of the most highly valued anthropological categorizations and social positions in the socio-political orders of the new states and locales as well as to the material resources crucial for realizing lives of well-being and denied full retention of and access to the self-and community-defining resources of their natal cultures.\nHow the various African-descendant persons and communities resolved these tensions conditioned the formation of new identities, life-agendas, and praxes for living. Fundamental were the recurrent and varied quests to survive and endure. With whatever success there followed other fundamental recurrent and varied endeavors. Among the most compelling were quests to define and secure freedom, quests that were profoundly affected by the absence of any recourse to protections of law and by severe limitations imposed on Black peoples\u2019 participation in what has come to be called \u201cthe public sphere.\u201d Participation in this sphere with protection of laws\u2014for example, to articulate one\u2019s case for impartial and fair recognition and respect as a human being, particularly as a woman or man of a despised race\u2014was hardly ever allowed in slave-holding polities, and very infrequently even in locales where slavery had been abolished as invidious discrimination against persons of African descent continued. When speaking out or otherwise expressing oneself on one\u2019s or one\u2019s people\u2019s behalf was prohibited or strenuously circumscribed and could be punished by beatings, imprisonment, or death with no legal protection, the tensions were indeed wretched.\nThe variety of reasons for and means of coping in such circumstances, and the variety of conceptions of life to be lived and of freedom to be achieved in the various New World locales, were approached differently by activist thinkers of African descent, conditioned by adaptive continuations\u2014more or less\u2014of some Old World African cultural agendas and practices. The efforts gave rise to developments of different traditions of thought guiding the formation and pursuit of what would become, over time, a variety of agendas, foci, objectives, and strategies of intellectual and practical engagement. It is these variegated, historically conditioned, socially grounded, imperatives-driven thought and praxis complexes, immersed in and growing out of concerns and struggles for survival, endurance, and human dignity in freedom, that are being recovered and studied as the earliest instances of philosophizing by diasporic persons of African descent and form the bases of the unfolding of several subfields of Africana philosophy.\nThe United States of America is one of several New World diasporic contexts of focus for these recovery and study efforts that are being conducted under the heading of \u201cAfrican American philosophy.\u201d What follows is a historically contextualized discussion of several instances of the emergence of philosophizings born of struggles. However, it would be an ethical travesty and a case of epistemological presentist imperialism to require that thoughtful, critically reflective articulations by African Americans considered as instances of philosophizing worthy of the critical attention of professional philosophers first meet rigorous, formal standards for \u201cright reasoning\u201d settled on by professionals in the discipline during the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. For the contexts in which folks of African descent were compelled to reflect on and reason about their first-order lived experiences were substantially conditioned by the agendas and social logics of projects of White Racial Supremacy and constitutive invidious anthropologies of raciality, ethnicity, and gender, not agendas governed by the academic logics of abstract formal reasoning. The pressing exigencies of daily, cross-generation life under racialized enslavement and oppression were what compelled reflective thoughtfulness, not leisured, abstractive speculation. Again, what has to be witnessed and appreciated across the historical and hermeneutical distances of centuries of history and life-world experiences structured by contemporary personal and social freedoms are the natures of the lived experiences and situations of those whose articulations, whose philosophizings, are considered as having been born of struggles.\nMuch psychic energy had to be expended by New World African and African-descended peoples contending with the institutionalization of their enslavement and oppression otherwise that was racialized, thereby naturalized, and thoroughly sanctioned and justified by every enterprise of deliberate, normative thought and aesthetic expression\u2014law, science, theology, religion, philosophy, aesthetics, and secular \u201ccommon sense.\u201d (For a historical account of African-American life in the United States see Franklin and Moss, Jr. 2000.) In each case a primary resource was the foundational metaphysical and ontological \u201cunit idea\u201d of a hierarchical Great Chain of Being (Lovejoy 1964) on which each race was believed to have a fixed and determining place. Accordingly, as living property it was encumbered on enslaved Africans and their descendants to live so as to make good on the investments in their purchase and maintenance by engaging in productive labor, without compensation, and to endure and reproduce as ontological slaves in order to sustain and justify the institution of their imprisonment. According to this supposedly divinely sanctioned philosophical anthropology, African and African-descended children, women, and men were defined as constituting a category of being to which none of the normative moral and ethical notions and principles governing civilized life applied. Pressed into an ethically null category, they were compelled to live lives of social death stripped of defining webs of ennobling meaning constituted by narratives of previous histories, renewing presents, and imagined and anticipated futures of flourishing, cross-generational continuation.\nOn the whole, they did not succumb to the requirement to become socially dead, certainly not completely, though many thousands did. Always there were those who cultivated strengths of body, mind, soul, and spirit and exerted these in defense of the preservation of senses of themselves and of their peoples, of their \u201crace,\u201d as having worth beyond the definitions and valuations set on them by rationalizations of institutionalized enslavement and oppression. Always there were those who, in the cracks, crevices, and severely limited spaces of slave life and constricted freedom, preserved and shared fading memories of lives of beauty and integrity before the holocaust; who found, created, and renewed nurturings of imaginings of better life to come through music-making, dancing, and creative expression in the artful fashioning and use of items of material culture, and in the communal and personal relations, secular and spiritual, that the slaves formed, sustained, and passed on.\nNurtured by these efforts, they resisted the imposition of ontological death and nurtured others in resisting. They reflected on their existence and the conditions thereof; conceived of and put into practice ways to endure without succumbing, ways to struggle against enslavement and the curtailment otherwise of their lives and aspirations; and conceived and acted on ways to escape. They studied carefully their enslavers and oppressors and assessed the moral significance of all aspects of the lives enslavers and oppressors led and determined how they, though enslaved and despised, must live differently so as not to follow their oppressors and enslavers on paths to moral depravity. They conceived of other matters, including the terms and conditions of freedom and justice; of better terms and conditions of existence and of personal and social identities; of how to resist and endure while creating things of beauty; how to love in spite of their situations; conceived of their very nature as living beings \u2026\nThese considerations took various forms within and across the centuries. More than a few African and African-descendant persons would engage in concerted intellectual and practical actions directed against the enterprise of enslavement in all of its forms. Their considerations and articulations can be found in various repositories of philosophizings: in the lyrics and rhythmic structures and timings of various genres of music-making; in newspaper writings and pamphlets; in poetry and other modes of creative writing; in letters; in slave narratives and autobiographies; in the legacies and documentary histories of institutions, those of Black churches and church denominations especially; in those of women\u2019s and men\u2019s service organizations; in the documentary histories of conventions and convention movements; etc. For from the earliest instances of the enslavement of Africans in the colonies in the 1600s and continuing through the 1800\u20131865 Civil War between forces of the Union of North and East and forces of the Confederacy of the South, militant agitation for the abolition of slavery was a prominent endeavor among persons of color both \u201cfree\u201d and enslaved, as were efforts to achieve greater respect and freedom for Black women from male domination and oppression and from sexual exploitation as well as from racism. Phillis Wheatley (1753?-1784), a young, lettered house-slave in Boston, Massachusetts, wrote poems \u201con various subjects, religious and moral,\u201d in one of which she expounded on the significance of \u201cBeing Brought from Africa to America\u201d and extolled Christians to remember that though Negroes be \u201cblack as Cain,\u201d they, too, can be \u201crefin\u2019d and join th\u2019 angelic train\u201d (Wheatley [1773] 1997). Aside from Wheatley\u2019s highly polished and thoughtfully probing poetry, the fact that she had penned the verses prompted such disbelief that her master, and a prominent group of White men of the city, including the governor and lieutenant governor of the state, felt compelled to write letters to the publisher and the reading public to attest that Wheatley had mastered the English language and was, indeed, the author of the verses. Lettered articulation, in high verse no less, was a significant counter to claims of Negro inferiority, hence the need for legitimation of Wheatley\u2019s writings by White persons of significant standing in order for those writings to enter a race- and gender-constricted literary public sphere.\nWheatley was the first in what would become a long and continuing line of enslaved persons of African descent in the United States who took up creative and other genres of writing as a means for engaging in resisting oppression and for reclaiming and exercising their humanity through thoughtful articulation. Slaves\u2019 narrations of the stories of their lives and of the conditions of enslavement and of their aspirations and quests for freedom, constitute an extraordinarily rich body of literature to be studied for philosophizings born of struggles. Olaudah Equiano\u2019s The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, or Gustavus Vassa, the African. Written by Himself (1789) is but one example of such narratives. Consider carefully Equiano\u2019s recounting having to wrestle with and reclaim his sense of self, even his name, after having been stolen into slavery as a child, transported to the New World, and being renamed \u201cGustavus Vassa.\u201d A profound and consequential instance of existential philosophizing, Equiano\u2019s Narrative, one that discloses the significance of a compelled struggle to reclaim and exercise a person\u2019s right, and power, of identification of self and social being\u2026\nFor a Negro, slave or free, to indulge in the articulation of critical reflections on the nature of their being and the conditions of their life was a bold contradiction of prevailing characterizations of African peoples and their descendants in the racialized ontologies of White Racial Supremacy, and a dangerous threat to the enterprise. David Walker (1785\u20131830) exemplified the threat. He sent shockwaves of fear across the slaveholding South, especially, with the publication and wide distribution of his Appeal in Four Articles; Together with a Preamble, to the Coloured Citizens of the World, but in Particular and Very Expressly, to Those of the United States of America (1829) in which he advocated forcefully that Coloured people rise up in armed struggle against their oppressors. Moreover, in articulating his provocative appeal in a written document, Walker employed with great skill and impact a strategic use of rhetoric to gain leverage in the public sphere: while ostensibly directing the Appeal to an audience of \u201cColoured Citizens\u201d almost none of whom were regarded as citizens and very few of whom, among those enslaved certainly, could read and, if they could, would have been prohibited from getting their hands and minds on such an appeal, in truth was also directed at White slaveowners and oppressors. This strategy would become a staple in the arsenal of discursive strategies Black folks would use to engage in the work of articulating their considerations and advocating for life-enhancing changes.\nFrederick Douglass (1817\u20131895), a passionate and indefatigable opponent of enslavement, the institution of slavery, and of the subordination of women (\u201cWhat Are the Colored People Doing for Themselves?\u201d 1848; \u201cPrejudice Not Natural,\u201d 1849; \u201cThe Claims of the Negro Ethnologically Considered,\u201d 1854), would use the strategy with superbly nuanced skill. An especially brilliant thinker and prolific writer, he was also brilliant in his oppositional eristic engagements over the constitutional, biblical, and ethnological justifications of Negro inferiority and enslavement and over a wide range of other subjects, including the compelling need for appropriate education (directed at preparing the formerly enslaved for productive, economically self-sustaining labor), good character, and political equality. Douglass was an astute critical thinker and speech-maker, and was a foremost thinker with regard to such matters as the constitutionality of slavery, of the meanings of freedom and justice, and of the implications of both for enslaved, free, and freed Negroes (Douglass 1845). Maria Stewart (1803\u20131879), likewise committed to freedom and justice for Black people, was a pioneering feminist in speaking out publicly (\u201cReligion and the Pure Principles of Morality, the Sure Foundation on Which We Must Build,\u201d 1831) and thus took advantage of cracks in the public sphere to advance the cause for abolition and the liberation of women (Stewart 1831). Sojourner Truth (Isabella Baumfree, 1797\u20131883) was a legendary unlettered but unnervingly bodacious itinerant intellectual provocateur who agitated for ending enslavement and the subordination of women (\u201cWoman\u2019s Rights,\u201d 1851). On one celebrated occasion, Truth walked uninvited into a Women\u2019s Rights Convention of assembled White people, sat down on the edge of the speakers\u2019 stage until she simply had to be recognized, and then delivered her now famous \u201cAr\u2019n\u2019t I a Woman?\u201d speech (Truth 1851).\nIf slavery were abolished, what did the vocal Negro advocates think would be the most appropriate modes and ends of life for Negro men and women?\nFor some it would or should involve assimilation, that is, processes by which one racial and/or ethnic group is absorbed by another, for some physically as well as socio-culturally, with one group relinquishing its own racial and/or ethnic cultural distinctiveness to take on the defining life-world character and practices of another. For early African American assimilationists this would have meant accepting as appropriate and sufficient goals for African American life the country\u2019s pronounced cultural, social, political, and economic ideals\u2014though generally without endorsements of the superiority of the White race\u2014as proof of their humaneness and of their having \u201crisen\u201d from a condition of \u201csavagery\u201d to having become \u201ccivilized,\u201d particularly by having become Christianized.\nHowever, particular care must be taken in characterizing an engaged thinker\u2019s commitments and aspirations as \u201cassimilationist.\u201d While appropriate and useful in some instances, in others the label is often misused or misplaced, for various thinkers were quite nuanced in articulating their positions on various matters: for example, in advocating assimilation of prevailing economic ideas, principles, and practices while advocating social, cultural, and political independence for Black people. Douglass, one of the most well-known of African American cultural and political assimilationists, is an instructive example. He was not an advocate of the assimilation of the Negro race into the White race; rather, he preferred, at the extreme, the assimilation of all distinct races into a single, blended race, so to speak, so that there would no longer be distinct races in which aspirations for super-ordination and subordination could be invested. Similar views on cultural and economic assimilation were articulated by T. Thomas Fortune (1856\u20131928), the journalist and advocate of Black unionizing and political independence (\u201cPolitical Independence of the Negro,\u201d 1884), and by the radical abolitionist Henry Highland Garnet (1815\u20131881), who at one point was convinced that \u201cThis western world is destined to be filled with a mixed race\u201d (\u201cThe Past and the Present Condition and the Destiny of the Colored Race,\u201d (1848; 1996, p. 200), emphasis in the original).\nOn the other hand, there were Negro women and men of the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries of enslavement for whom the prospect of assimilating with White people in any fashion or on any terms was to be firmly rejected. Such sentiments were especially prominent during the decades leading up to the Civil War as conditions became even more constraining for supposedly free-born and freedpersons with the passage in 1850 of the Fugitive Slave Law that stripped away any legal protection for escaped and former slaves who made it to free states by declaring it legal for any White person to apprehend any Negro who could not document their free status and return the person to enslavement. Garnet, responding to the circumstances the law created, is representative of those Black folks who became advocates of the emigration of Negro people to Africa. He was the founder of the African Civilization Society, an organization that promoted emigration of American Negroes to Africa in keeping with a more positive agenda than was the case with the American Colonization Society, which was organized by White people to foster the relocation of troublesome abolitionist free Negro people to Liberia, the colony founded with federal support by White Americans intent on preserving the institution of slavery and White Racial Supremacy.\nEmigrationist considerations and projects thus became prominent ventures during this period, advocated with persuasive force by other very able activist thinkers, among them Edward Blyden (1832\u20131912), James T. Holly (1829\u20131911), and Martin Delany (1812\u20131883). Delany\u2019s The Condition, Elevation, Emigration, and Destiny of the Colored People of the United States (1852) was an especially well-reasoned critique of notions of citizen prevailing in the United States and a detailing of conditions affecting Colored people, including, in his estimation, their overreliance on \u201cmoral theorizing\u201d and not enough on pragmatic political reasoning informed by comparative studies of the histories of oppression of other \u201cnations\u201d within nation-states dominated by an antagonistic national (i.e., racial) group (Delany 1852; 2004). Based on his analysis, Delany was convinced that people of color could not enjoy lives as full citizens with full respect and rights in the United States. Hence, he reasoned, people of color should leave the country for South America\u2014though later he would advocate emigrating to Africa\u2014to establish their own independent nation-state. (However, when the Civil War erupted, Delany was persuaded by Frederick Douglass, his former colleague in publishing The North Star newspaper, to join other Black men in forming a regiment to aid the Union forces in defeating the Confederate Army and the South\u2019s agenda for the continuation of the enslavement and oppression of Black people.)\nIt is important to note, however, that emigrationists were often motivated not only by desires to escape the various modes and intensities of disrespect for their racial being and humanity by relocating to Africa, in particular, but also in order to fulfill aspirations to engage in missionary work among native peoples on that continent in order to \u201craise\u201d them from \u201csavagery\u201d to \u201ccivilization\u201d through education and Christianization. Edward Blyden, for example, spent a large portion of his life engaged in educational and missionary work in Liberia. James T. Holly, who advocated emigration to, and himself subsequently settled in, Haiti and authored a lengthy work devoted to \u201cdefending the inherent capabilities of the Negro race, for self-government and civilized progress\u201d (A Vindication of the Capacity of the Negro Race for Self-Government and Civilized Progress, 1857), was a clergyman. So, too, was the indomitable Queen\u2019s College of Cambridge University-educated Alexander Crummell (1819\u20131898), who devoted twenty years of his life to educational and missionary work in Liberia and Sierra Leone followed by years of pastoral work in the United States. Crummell (\u201cThe Relations and Duties of Free Colored Men in America to Africa,\u201d 1860; \u201cThe Race Problem in America,\u201d 1888) was a formidable and very articulate thinker, author, speechmaker, and organizer with commanding presence. He was a principal founder of the American Negro Academy (1897\u20131924), a gathering of astute minds and engaged Negro men devoted to analyzing the conditions of life of Negroes in the United States, to determining how best to protect them from the continuing ravages of centuries of enslavement, and to determining how best to develop the race to achieve political and social equality and economic justice.\nWorthy of critical exploration in the case of these figures: the extent to which, and on what terms, each of them embraced (assimilated) prevailing European and Euro-American conceptions of civilization and the processes and conditions, states of character in particular, by which a person or people could be said to be \u201ccivilized.\u201d It is apparent in their writings and the logic of their missionary work, in other lands as well as within the United States, that neither figure accepted the long-prevailing arguments that the Negro race was inherently and ineradicably inferior. To the contrary, close scrutiny of their articulations will reveal that each was convinced that the civilizational inferiority of continental Africans, and of the ignorant, brutally constrained Negroes of deficient character in the United States, was due to conditions of deprivation fostered by the enslavement and racism perpetrated by White people. At the core of the missionary work of these men, and of many of their female and male contemporaries and successors, including persons who worked at \u201cuplifting\u201d enslaved and freedpersons in the United States, was a principled and dedicated commitment to well-reasoned and forcefully articulated belief in the God-given humanity and inherent worth of persons of the Negro race, and fervent and equally dedicated belief in the ameliorative and progressive benefits of education and racial independence. And each of these seminal figures took himself or herself as a living example of the actualization of the potentiality for substantial, qualitative development and advancement by Negroes, contrary to the characterizations of the race by those who rationalized and otherwise sought to justify enslavement and constrictions of the range of possibilities for Negro development. The articulations of a significant number of such persons have been preserved in the vast body of writings contending with enslavement, with aspirations and quests for freedom and justice, with what a constitutionally democratic and multiracial United States of America ought to be in order to include Coloured people as full citizens and fully respected human beings. Theirs are, indeed, philosophizings born of struggles.\nBeyond question, one of the particularly acute axial periods of history for people of African descent in the United States of America was that of the half-decade of civil war (1860\u20131865) continued through ensuing years of Reconstruction-struggles between White proponents of a culture of aspiring aristocratic genteel racial supremacy and a political economy devoted to developing industrial and finance capitalism in the North and East of the country who also wanted to preserve the federated union of states, and White proponents of a regional civilization devoted to a decidedly pronounced and violently aristocratic Southern hegemonic White Racial Supremacy based on a political economy of agrarian capitalism supported by enslaved Negro labor, proponents who forged a Confederacy out of states that seceded from the Union in order to preserve their distinctive civilizational project. For a great many Black people, the hope was that the Union forces would prevail in the war, the institution of slavery would be abolished, and they would be freed and free to enjoy lives of full citizenship. More than a few devoted themselves, in various ways, to aiding the Union efforts, some even as fighting soldiers. Frederick Douglass played a major role in persuading President Abraham Lincoln to allow Negro men to join the Union army as fighting soldiers and in persuading many men to join. With President Lincoln\u2019s issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 freeing the slaves in the Confederate states and Union victory in the Civil War two years later, the day of Jubilation! for Black people and other opponents of the institution of slavery appeared to be at hand.\nAnd so it seemed. There followed a brief, euphoric period of statutory freedom during which Black people held elective and appointive offices in many states that had been part of the Confederacy and otherwise made initial significant gains in other areas of life. However, a post-war (1877) so-called compromise between Republican economic and political forces in the North and East and those of Democrats in the South settled a disputed presidential election (a contest Republican Rutherford B. Hayes and Democrat Samuel J. Tilden) and allowed a South not completely vanquished by the lost war to regain power in its region in exchange for Republican hegemony in the federal government.\nViolent terrorism and brutal repression of Negroes followed immediately, in the South especially, which spawned two decades (mid 1860s-1880s) of post-Reconstruction struggles by newly-emancipated Black people to survive conditions in which they had been set adrift by many former allies in the North and East and were being pressed back into near-slavery by forces in the South. A Great Migration ensued as hundreds of thousands of Negroes left the South for hoped-for better opportunities without racial violence in the East, North, Southwest, and West of the United States, in some cases in response to persuasive articulations by various spokespersons (Edward W. Blyden, James T. Holly, and Alexander Crummell, among others) who renewed calls for various programs of emigration or what some scholars have termed separatist Black Nationalism: migrations within and out of the country to sites on which all-Black communities and towns would be formed (away from the United States in Africa; within the country in Kansas and Oklahoma, for example).\nMigrations within the United States were by far the most significant of the relocations. And the movements greatly accelerated over the decades as the nineteenth century gave way to the twentieth and the U.S. American economy was undergoing transformation into an industrial giant and international power as a consequence of meeting the needs of production to support the country\u2019s participation in the First World War and other developments. In the North, Northeast, and West of the country this industrialization created historic demands for workers and, subsequently, historic opportunities for work. Meanwhile, in the South rapidly increasing mechanization in agriculture and subsequent decreasing reliance on the labor of nearly-enslaved, hyper-exploited Negro tenant farmers and workers, and increasing industrialization in the region, left the greater majority of Black people in dire straits. These developments, combined with hopes for life unrestricted by racial segregation enforced by brutal violence, by lynchings especially, exerted additional pull-and-push forces that prompted hundreds of thousands to join in the migrations to the country\u2019s industrial centers.\nIn settling in the new locales, the migrants and their subsequent generations began to undergo what, with hindsight, became a historic and wrenching transformation of what had been, for the most part, a brutally oppressed, illiterate, yet resolute agrarian peasantry into an ethno-racial urban working class, and the transformation of a significant few of them into a modern middle class. With the transformations came vexing challenges and opportunities. Among the most compelling needs were for forms of life appropriate to the new urban circumstances\u2014as well as for those who remained in the rebuilding South\u2014that would sustain the person and a people and promote flourishing life in conditions of intense competition with other ethno-racial class groups, and high risks of social disintegration and failure as invidious racism, unchecked by federal restraints, became ever more intense and widespread. There were, then, compelling needs for social and cultural as well as economic support as nuclear and extended family units were disrupted in being stretched across long miles of migration and crucial forms of communal and organizational support that helped to sustain life in the South were in very short supply in the new urban centers. Once again, in the context of demanding needs to be met in the struggle to survive and endure, particularly thoughtful and articulate Black persons took up the challenges of conceiving what was best to be done for the well-being of the race, and how best to achieve well-being.\nAfrican American women were especially prominent in endeavoring to attend thoughtfully and pragmatically to the well-being of the race, but also in endeavoring to make good for Black women on the promises of Emancipation for social, political, and economic freedom. An exemplary figure in this regard is Anna Julia Cooper (1859?-1964), who graduated from Oberlin College in 1884 and, at age sixty-five, completed a doctoral dissertation at the Sorbonne on Slavery and the French Revolutionists, 1788\u20131805 (Cooper 1925). A career educator before earning her doctorate, Cooper was a pioneering feminist who set out a provocative view of what she regarded as the superior capacity of women to lead the reformation of the human race in her book A Voice from South (1892). Poet, journalist, novelist, and essayist Frances Ellen Watkins Harper (1825\u20131911) weighed in with a forceful argument that the \u201cspiritual aid\u201d that women can provide is crucial for moral development and the social advancement of the human race (\u201cWoman\u2019s Political Future,\u201d 1893). Memphis, Tennessee-born and Oberlin College-educated Mary Church Terrell (1863\u20131954) lived a stellar life of articulate leadership in uplift and advocacy organizations devoted to the development and well-being of Colored women (Colored Women\u2019s League, the National Association of Colored Women), commitments articulated in \u201cThe Progress of Colored Women\u201d (1898, published 1904) and other writings. Fluent in several languages, Terrell forged relations with Negro and other women in several countries who worked for reforms on behalf of women. And particular note must be taken of the audacious, pistol-totting Ida B. Wells-Barnett (1862\u20131931), an investigative journalist and newspaperwoman who took it upon herself, as an anti-lynching crusader, to investigate cases of lynching across the country to document the facts of each case, which she published in 1895 as The Red Record: Tabulated Statistics and Alleged Causes of Lynching in the United States with an introductory letter from Frederick Douglass, with whom she collaborated in many endeavors. During an especially violent and trying period, courageous, thoughtful, and articulate activist Black women such as Wells-Barnett, Cooper, Terrell, and others initiated what would become a long and varied tradition of feminist philosophizing and work by women of African descent devoted to the enhancing development of Negro persons, families, organizations, and communities.\nFew of these thoughtful feminists, it should be noted, were energetic advocates of Nationalist emigration during this turbulent period. Perhaps because many Nationalist agendas and articulations were soon eclipsed (though by no means completely silenced) during the years of 1880\u20131915 that came to be largely dominated by the persuasive ameliorative leadership of Booker T. Washington (1856\u20131915), an educator and strategic power-broker who focused his considerable efforts on uplifting a Black southern peasantry into educated literacy for economic self-reliance and on the nation-wide organization of Negro businesses for the pursuit of predominance in certain sectors of the economy. After delivering a poignant and crafty invited \u201cAtlanta Exposition Address\u201d to resounding praise during an 1895 international industrial exposition, Washington, already well on his way as a leader recognized as such by Negro people, was elevated by certain powerful and influential White people to the vaunted position as their leader and spokesman for \u201cthe Negro\u201d to whom they would turn to broker matters in race relations. The key to this positioning was the reaction of many White people, concerned about post-war transformations under way in race relations, to the following declaration in Washington\u2019s Exposition address: \u201cIn all things that are purely social we can be as separate as the fingers, yet one as the hand in all things essential to mutual progress\u201d (Washington 1895; 1992, p. 358). Concentrating on the first part of his statement, anxious White people interpreted his public endorsement of the \u201cpurely social\u201d separation of the races as an endorsement by Washington of the hegemony of White people in all areas.\nIt was not. In fact, Washington was explicit in the address in declaring that it was \u201cimportant and right that all privileges of the law be ours\u2026\u201d He went further in articulating a vision of \u201cthat higher good, that, let us pray God, will come in a blotting out of sectional differences and racial animosities and suspicions, in a determination to administer absolute justice, in a willing obedience among all classes to the mandates of law\u201d (Washington 1895; 1992, p. 359). Hearing, apparently, what they wanted to hear, not the fullness of what Washington wanted them to hear, anxious White people of power and influence certified him a \u2018good and safe\u2019 Negro and promptly made him their go-to Negro designated by them as \u201cthe Leader of the Negro people.\u201d Washington accommodated them, in service to his own ego as well as in service to the benefit of the Negro race (by his own reasoning, of course). He was brilliantly skillful in executing a nuanced, pragmatic strategy of wearing a mask of seeming accommodation to White hegemony as he promoted Negro empowerment and self-sufficiency through education that stressed disciplined comportment, thrift, industrial and agricultural work, and ownership of property (and while clandestinely supporting securing political equality for Negroes). As an enlarged figure who brokered the largesse and influence of White people flowing to Negroes throughout the nation, and as the founding administrative and educational leader of Tuskegee Institute in Alabama that continues to provide education to persons of African descent, Booker T. Washington\u2019s philosophizings, political engagements, and practical endeavors would have widespread, profound, and lasting impact.\nWashington was challenged, publicly and on several fronts, by, among other thinker-activist Black persons, the astute and irrepressible thinker-scholar (and more) William Edward Burghardt Du Bois (1868\u20131963) whose philosophical stances and strategies for transforming the conditions of existence for Black people were substantially different from Washington\u2019s seeming public accommodation to White social hegemony. In the view of some, Washington might be better described as a social separatist and economic and political conservative committed to Black economic independence made even stronger by the predominance of Negroes in some sectors of the national economy resulting in the dependence of White folks on the productivity of Black folks. To this end, for Washington and similar conservative accommodationists, the economic and political hegemony of White people was to be finessed by strategies of seeming acceptance by Black people that masked surreptitious opposition as Colored people pursued economic self-reliance, full political citizenship, and eventual social acceptance that was to be \u201cearned\u201d by forming and exercising good character and responsibility through education for, and the practice of, honest, socially productive, and economically rewarding work.\nDu Bois, however, argued for immediate recognition of and respect for Negro people with full civil and political rights (though he supported qualifications for exercising the franchise for all voters), social equality, and economic justice. He became an outspoken critic of Washington\u2019s leadership (\u201cOf Mr. Booker T. Washington and Others,\u201d 1903) having become impatient with the latter\u2019s accommodating gradualism and the spirit-sapping impact he (Du Bois) thought this was having on those Black folks who were ready, even overdue, for full equality and respect (Du Bois 1903; 1992). In contrast to Washington, Du Bois might best be described as a cultural nationalist advocating pluralist integration: pursuit of a racially integrated socially and politically democratic socio-political order\u2014and, later in his long life, a democratic socialist economic order\u2014in which diverse racial and ethnic groups cultivate and share, and benefit mutually from sharing, the products of their cultural distinctiveness to the extent that doing so does not threaten the integration and justness of the social whole.\nThe two men were from profoundly different backgrounds. Washington had been born into slavery, but with the aid of education and character development at Hampton Institute he was able to advance to national and international prominence as an educator and figure of unprecedented influence, which he recounted in his widely read and inspiring autobiography Up From Slavery (Washington 1901; 1963). Du Bois, on the other hand, never had living experience with slavery, nor, even, with much in the way of invidious racial discrimination before entering college in the South. With undergraduate degrees from Fisk University and Harvard University, studies at the University of Berlin, and a Ph.D. in History from Harvard, Du Bois was one of a very few exceptionally highly educated persons in the United States. Drawing on his learning and with arrogant confidence in his education-enhanced, penetrating, creative, and critical intellect, varied, frequent, and penetrating scholarly and creative explorations of the history, conditions, and future prospects of the Negro and other oppressed races, as well as of Western Civilization, became his passionate and committed life\u2019s work.\nDu Bois far outstripped Washington in the range of his (Du Bois\u2019s) concerns, the depths of his explorations, and the extent of his seminal involvements in and contributions to international organizations and movements pressing for independence for colonized African and other peoples, his contributions to a number of the international Pan-African Conferences (1919, 1921, 1923, 1927, and 1945) and Movement being but one example. And of particular note, Du Bois studied philosophy with William James and others while a student at Harvard, and, for a moment, considered pursuing a career in the discipline. Though he chose otherwise, his vast and rich articulations are frequently philosophically novel and astute and thus all the more engaging for researchers, scholars, teachers, artists, and millions of readers in various educated publics. His The Souls of Black Folk (1903), for example, has been a seminal text for generations of African Americans, and others, who were coming of age intellectually. Many were aided, especially, by his poignant characterization and exploration of the vexing tensions of the experience of \u201cdouble consciousness\u201d\u2014of the \u201ctwoness\u201d of being both Negro and American\u2014and by his promising exploration of how best to work at resolving the tension by \u2018merging\u2019 the two selves into one \u2018truer\u2019 self.\nFrom Du Bois, then, a philosophy of the soul, if you will, motivated by the compelling needs of a racialized people subjected to ontological as well as social, political, economic, and cultural degradation. In particular, during the turbulent decades of the orchestrated failure of post-Civil War Reconstruction, when real possibilities for racial and economic democracy were being killed at birth by the proponents and guardians of capitalism and White Racial Supremacy, Du Bois initially worked out his affirmative cultural nationalist position on the raciality of the Negro, and of other races, in \u201cThe Conservation of Races\u201d (1897; 1992). This was an effort at conceptionalization to which Du Bois would return and rework several times, even near the end of his extraordinarily long and productive life, as in \u201cWhither Now and Why\u201d (1960; 1973). Throughout his life Du Bois remained convinced that people of African descent should articulate and appropriate a racial identity based on shared history and culture and continue to invest in their historical legacies and cultural creativity while holding open to all, \u201con the principle of universal brotherhood,\u201d the organizations, institutions, and cultural riches in and through which the life-worlds of Negro peoples are forged, sustained, and shared.\nBooker T. Washington died in 1915, W.E.B. Du Bois nearly half a century later (\u2026on the evening before the historic 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom as hundred of thousands of Negroes and other supporters converged on the nation\u2019s capital to press for full civil and economic rights). The deaths of both brought to a close their long reigns of Black male leadership prominence, and predominance, in various arenas. Still, they were far from being the only leaders of their people. For as the nineteenth century gave way to the twentieth, Black women were again substantial contributors to the intellectual explorations, organizational work, and local, national, and international movements seeking freedom and enhanced existence for African and African-descendant peoples. They were, as well, influential on Black male leadership. In 1897, for example, Du Bois accepted an invitation from Alexander Crummell to become a member of the American Negro Academy to share in the critical work of developing understandings of the deteriorating situation of Black people in the nation, made worst by widespread racially-motivated violence, in order to develop and implement strategies to protect and advance the race. (Du Bois offered his proposal in \u201cThe Conservation of Races,\u201d the second Occasional Paper delivered to the group.) Due largely to Crummell\u2019s objections, Black women were not initially allowed to become members of the Academy. However, while Crummell was a substantial influence on Du Bois, he (Du Bois) was also influenced by Ana Julia Cooper who advised his thinking on a number of matters regarding which he conversed with his male colleagues in the Academy. Other women\u2014Ida B. Wells, Mary Church Terrell, Jane Adams\u2014also exerted critical influence on Du Bois through their ideas, their organizational work, and their personal relations with him.\nThese and other thoughtful, articulate, and engaged Black women did not allow themselves to be limited to subordinate roles of influence on male leaders. Rather, as was true for many of their foresisters, they had important matters of concern about which they thought seriously, discussed in their women\u2019s clubs and other organizations, wrote and spoke, and worked with determination to effect progressive transformations in the lives of women and their families as well as for the racial group and the society as a whole. From the especially violent and trying decades of Reconstruction on into the early decades of the twentieth century, women such as Wells-Barnett, Cooper, Terrell, and others contributed substantially to what has become a long and varied tradition of woman-focused philosophizing and artistic expression by women of African descent in the United States.\nContinuing the tradition, Elise Johnson McDougald, for example, wrote of \u201cThe Struggle of Negro Women for Sex and Race Emancipation\u201d (1924\u201325; 1995); Alice Dunbar-Nelson (1875\u20131935) of \u201cThe Negro Woman and the Ballot\u201d (1927; 1995); Sadie Tanner Mosell Alexander of \u201cNegro Women in Our Economic Life\u201d (1930; 1995); and Florence \u201cFlo\u201d Kennedy produced \u201cA Comparative Study: Accentuating the Similarities of the Societal Position of Women and Negroes\u201d (1946; 1995). Working through, and often leading, local, regional, national, and international secular and church-related women\u2019s clubs and organizations, these and other Negro women gave defining shape to legacies of feminist and womanist engagement and leadership that are now being reclaimed and studied for inspiration and guidance. And the efforts and contributions of several of these women would be joined to those of later generations who would become major contributors, in thought and in other ways, to developments that would unfold as history-making movements devoted to cultural expressiveness, gaining more in the way of civil and economic rights, to gaining power, Black Power!, and to gaining more freedom, rights, and respect for women of all ethno-racial groups and socio-economic classes.\nThe historical context for the subsequent and more recent developments and movements was set by transformative dislocations and reconfigurations that intensified competitions within and among ethno-racial groups and socio-economic classes that affected significantly relations between White and Black races, in particular, as the country went through unprecedented industrial and economic growth and increasing predominance in the Western hemisphere as a consequence of the Great Depression (1929 through the late 1930s and into the early 1940s) and attendant disruptions, recovery from which was spurred significantly by involvements in the Second World War (1939\u20131945) and the Korean War (1950\u20131953). There followed several decades of economic expansion and rising prosperity for urban, industrial workers among whom were large numbers of Black workers, descendants of earlier migrants to the urban centers, who benefitted from the industrial intensifications and thus expanded significantly the growing modern, educated, increasingly economically viable, church-going, community-sustaining, psychologically secure and increasingly self-confident aspiring Black working and middle classes that were determined to provide successive generations with greater freedom, respect, and economic security bolstered by high expectations for even greater successes and achievements. Spread across both classes were the tens of thousands of Black men who returned to civilian life from the country\u2019s recently racially integrated Armed Forces after serving at home and overseas to help \u201cmake the world save for democracy.\u201d A great many of these veterans, supported by Negro women and men who kept the home-front while enduring the difficulties of wartime sacrifices as they worked the nation\u2019s fields and factories though still denied the fullness of citizenship, were unwilling to acquiesce to the subordination to racial apartheid and invidious racial discrimination required by the doctrines and programs of White Racial Supremacy that still held sway.\nThis context became the nurturing soil in which various forms of Black Nationalism flowered once again as the influence of Washington\u2019s philosophy and strategies declined. Caribbean-born immigrant Marcus Garvey (\u201cRace Assimilation,\u201d 1922; 1992; \u201cThe True Solution of the Negro Problem,\u201d 1922; 1992; \u201cAn Appeal to the Conscience of the Black Race to See Itself,\u201d 1923; 1992), proponent of a militant Black Nationalist philosophy of independence and self-reliance for Black peoples world-wide, and of the emigration of people of African descent from the U.S. and elsewhere \u201cback to Africa,\u201d rose to prominence from his base in New York City as the most successful mass organizer of Black people in the history of the U.S. with the founding and internationalization of his United Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) (Garvey 1925; 1986; Martin 1986). Garvey\u2019s organizational and socio-political movement, fueled by his \u201cPhilosophy and Opinions\u201d carried by his organization\u2019s newspapers and other publications with international reach, along with the eruption of the Harlem Renaissance, likewise in New York, an eruption of literary and artistic productions motivated by very thoughtful and passionate affirmations of African ancestry and of the positive, creative importance of the cultural and aesthetic significance of African American life, were two of the most significant emigrationist and cultural nationalist developments of the period. Both were articulated through and otherwise spawned new, profoundly influential modes of creative, reflective thought and expression.\nThe Harlem Renaissance was an extraordinary eruption of heightened, critical, and creative self-conscious affirmative racial identification by thoughtful Negroes bent on expressing their affirmations of their raciality through all of the creative arts and modalities of articulation, a development unprecedented in the history of the presence of peoples of African descent in the United States (Huggins 2007). The cultural significance of the productions and articulations; of the engagements, practices, and creations of the bold and talented participant-contributors; of the organizations, institutions, and publications they created and endeavored to sustain (some successfully, many others not) devoted to culture creation, refinement, preservation, and mediation\u2014 all continue to have substantial influences even today, most especially in terms of the novel ideas and idea-spaces and discursive communities that were created and articulated through the bodies of literature and works of art, music, and dance that are still being mined productively by contemporary artists and scholars. The producers and carriers of the Renaissance were natives of the whole of the African Diaspora, across the Atlantic World especially, as well as from across the African continent, and they drew on the cultural and historical legacies of both (and on those from other parts of the world) for inspiration and content for their philosophizing artistic creativity in defining and giving expression to The New Negro.\nAlain Leroy Locke (1886\u20131954), the first African American to earn a Ph.D. in Philosophy, from Harvard (having already earned a degree from Oxford and having studied philosophy at the University of Berlin), and the first to be named a Rhodes Scholar, was one of the significant intellectual and facilitating midwives to the production and publication of much creative work during the Renaissance (as was Du Bois). As the guest editor for a special March 1925 issue of Survey Graphic devoted to explorations of race and the New York of people of African descent, Locke, titling the issue Harlem: Mecca of the New Negro, brought together for the issue writings of fiction and poetry; articles on music, drama, the Negro\u2019s past, \u201cNegro Pioneers,\u201d \u201cThe New Scene,\u201d \u201cThe Negro and the American Tradition\u201d; and much else by a racially mixed large group of authors with expertise in a wide variety of fields. Among these: Du Bois (\u201cThe Negro Mind Reaches Out\u201d); Elise Johnson McDougald (\u201cThe Task of Negro Womanhood\u201d); pioneering Africanist anthropologist Melville J. Herskovits (\u201cThe Negro\u2019s Americanism\u201d); sociologist E. Franklin Frazier (\u201cDurham: Capital of the Black Middle Class\u201d); the young poet and creative writer Count\u00e9e Cullen (\u201cHeritage\u201d); Howard University-based educator and scholar Kelly Miller (\u201cHoward: The National Negro University\u201d); poetess Gwendolyn B. Bennett and creative writer Langston Hughes writing on music; poems by Angelina Grimke; and a large number of others. After the great success of the special issue, Locke edited and published an anthology, The New Negro, that included revised versions of most of the material from the Survey Graphic special issue, but with much new material and artwork by Winold Reiss, a very accomplished artist from Bavaria (Locke 1925).\nIn the judgment of many scholars of the Renaissance, The New Negro became, in the words of one, \u201cvirtually the central text of the Harlem Renaissance.\u201d The title was taken from the collection\u2019s lead essay, \u201cThe New Negro,\u201d which was written by Locke. In the essay Locke endeavored to characterize the \u201cNew\u201d Negro, the circumstances of the emergence of this character-type, the nature of its shared pride-of-race character, its psychology and mission and relation to the Negro masses, and the consequences of the emergence of the New Negro for race relations in the United States and for developments in Africa and the African Diaspora for which this new group-figure would serve as the avant garde. The anthology, then, is a gateway to an important selection of articulations by figures who were seminal contributors to, as well as beneficiaries of, the Harlem Renaissance, and to the vast and still growing multidisciplinary body of works that explore various aspects, figures, contributions, and consequences of the Renaissance. And Locke\u2019s lead essay is a poignant gateway into his career of philosophizing as well as an adept example of an attempt to simultaneously characterize and give agenda-setting character and guidance to an extraordinary praxis-guiding artistic and intellectual revolution the focal points of which were determined efforts of racial-group self-affirmation and self-determination, beginning with the radical ontological work of redefining and revaluing on progressive terms the meaning of the Negro, then setting the tasks by which the New Negro\u2014the \u201cthinking Negro,\u201d as Locke characterized the group in his essay\u2014would lead through decidedly Negro Africanist-inspired, philosophically-minded cultural creativity and articulate expressions of philosophizings born of struggles\u2026\nAnd lead they did, as a number of the persons, organizations, and institutions participating in and contributing to the Renaissance, the Garvey and other movements, and others in the social classes that were inspired by and fed them all became prominent figures in the Civil Rights/Freedom Movement of the 1950s-mid 1960s during which \u201ccivil rights\u201d and \u201cintegration\u201d were major objectives of struggle. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), the NAACP Legal and Educational Defense Fund (which became formally independent from the NAACP in 1957), and the National Urban League were but three of several organizations that would lead the continuing, but substantially reenergized, organizationally strengthened, and philosophically prepared and focused struggles to secure legally sanctioned and guaranteed democratic freedom, social and political equality, economic justice, and human dignity for Negroes in the United States of America. Publications and statements from these and other organizations; member correspondences; legal briefs and papers from court cases; the creative and scholarly works from members and descendants of the Renaissance, Garvey, and other movements; Black newspapers of the period\u2014all are rich repositories of the philosophizings fueling and guiding the new phase of struggle.\nStudies of these philosophizings are likely to reveal that while there definitely were persons and organizations advocating radical, even revolutionary, transformations of the political economy and social orders of the United States, overwhelmingly the pursuit of desegregation and racial integration as important manifestations of the achievement of democratic freedom, social and political equality, economic justice, and human dignity for Negroes using moderate but progressive strategies of legal and civil-disobedience struggles were dominant means and agendas of social and political effort exerted by people of African descent in the United States over the last half-century and more. These commitments were manifested most profoundly in the Civil Rights/Freedom Movement.\n\u201cThe Movement,\u201d as it was experienced and known by many of those intimately involved, proved to be a phenomenally historic, personally and socially transformative, national movement with profound international ramifications in Africa\u2014South Africa especially\u2014and other countries. Initially, the attack on racial apartheid in the quest for racial integration was pursued through legal challenges to de jure racial segregation. A major victory was achieved with the unanimous 1954 rulings of the U.S. Supreme Court in Brown v. Board of Education I and II that declared racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional, thereby overturning the Court\u2019s 1896 Plessey v. Ferguson decision that declared that government-sanctioned racial segregation was constitutional as long as \u201cseparate but equal\u201d resources and facilities were provided. The team of engaged and creative Black (and White) legal warriors from the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund and other thinker-scholars (historians, sociologists, social psychologists) were successful in persuading the Justices on the Court that the invidious discrimination suffered by Black folks within the schemes of White-dominated racial segregation was manifested not only in decidedly unequal resources and facilities, but, through \u201cinferior\u201d education in Negro schools, in debilitating damage to the psychic souls and self-concepts of Negroes, the children especially, which severely impaired their capacity to develop into and be the kind of persons who could meet the full responsibilities and enjoy the full benefits of citizenship. In short, the legal team forged a legal strategy that rested on the construction and successful articulation of a sophisticated philosophical anthropology, aided by empirical psychological, sociological, and historical studies, in support of an argument regarding the vital linkage between the integrity of personhood and democratic citizenship, thus between the enabling of democratic citizenry and the education of the person free of resource-impoverishment and the distortions of the soul that were consequences of hierarchic, invidious racial discrimination that was being imposed on Negro children in racially segregated schools. The Court was persuaded...\nHowever, this historic victory through persuasive philosophizing was initially stymied by recalcitrant, segregationist local governments and an overwhelming majority of White citizens in the Confederate South and by much foot-dragging by local governments and White citizens in other regions of the country. White opponents of racial integration who were determined to preserve segregation and White Supremacy unleashed yet another wave of violent terrorism. Nonetheless, the advocates of desegregation and integration were determined to secure full rights and human dignity for Negro Americans. A new philosophy and strategy of struggle was adopted that, through the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi, had proven successful in defeating Great Britain as the colonial power dominating India: non-violent direct action in the pursuit of justice grounded in an explicit philosophical commitment to the sanctity of human life, including love for opponents, and to the redeeming and restorative powers, personally and socially, of principled commitment to engagement in nonviolent struggle.\nGandhi\u2019s philosophy, the history and intricacies of the movement he led in India, and his leadership were studied closely by a young Negro missionary to India from the United States, James Morris Lawson, Jr., who, due to his commitments to nonviolence, had already been imprisoned for refusing induction into the military during the Korean War. Noting from news accounts that reached him in India that the Civil Rights/Freedom Movement in the United States was gathering force, Lawson returned to the country determined to find ways to become involved and contribute. While studying theology at Oberlin College in preparation for a career as a minister in service to the Movement for social justice, he was introduced to Martin Luther King, Jr., who came to Oberlin to deliver a speech. Laswon was persuaded by King that he (Lawson) should \u201cnot wait, come now\u201d to the South to aid the Movement by, among other things, providing instruction in the philosophy of nonviolence. Lawson transferred to the Divinity School of Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, and was soon deeply engaged in providing intellectual and spiritual guidance and inspiration to the educational, psychological, philosophical, and practical preparation of legions of mostly young college students in the city who were committed to engaging in nonviolent struggle to end the indignities suffered by Black people as a consequence of de jure White Supremacy and racial segregation. The campaign they waged, led by Fisk University co-ed Diane Nash and with the support of increasing numbers of Nashville\u2019s Black citizens, White college students, and that of more than a few very principled and dedicated anti-segregation White citizens, was eventually successful in bringing about the formal desegregation of the city\u2019s public facilities and commercial establishments. Many of the Nashville Movement\u2019s leaders and stalwart participants, Lawson included, would become major contributors to the national Movement while other student-participants helped to bring about further historic transformations in the city and elsewhere in the South, through their courageous participation in the Freedom Rides, especially. (A critical, full-length biography and philosophical study of James M. Lawson, Jr. and his philosophical commitments and engagements have yet to be undertaken and completed\u2026)\nA philosophy of nonviolence grounded in Christian love motivated and guided determined Black people, and allied White and other people, in achieving unprecedented progressive transformations of centuries-hardened, intellectually well-supported social, political, and, to notable extents, economic life in a United States of America ordered since its founding by philosophies of White Racial Supremacy and Black racial inferiority and subordination. Martin Luther King, Jr. (\u201cLove, Law, and Civil Disobedience,\u201d 1961; \u201cThe Ethical Demands for Integration,\u201d 1963) has become the signature figure among several of the leaders of this Movement, marked distinctively by his profoundly thoughtful Christian theological and philosophical commitments to nonviolence as the grounding for personal and shared social life as well as for engaging in struggles for freedom and justice (Washington, J.M. 1986). However, the groundwork for the Movement he would be called to lead had been laid and further developed by many other organizationally-supported Negro women and men of articulate thought and disciplined action from labor and other constituencies: among these A. Philip Randolph (who served as a founding organizer and president of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, president of the Negro American Labor Council, and vice president of the AFL-CIO) and Bayard Rustin (a veteran of struggles for civil and other rights for Negroes and workers of all colors), who were the organizers of the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom during which King delivered the speech (\u201cI Have a Dream...\u201d) in which he invoked a vision for America that became his hallmark and a guiding theme of the Movement.\nCertainly, Martin Luther King, Jr. is one of the most prolific and profoundly influential, even historic, figures of African descent whose articulations continue to compel widespread, intensive study as especially rich instances of religious, moral, theological, and socio-political philosophizing. Still, King\u2019s articulations, as well as the sacrificial life he lived and gave in leadership service, firmly and uncompromisingly grounded in especially thoughtful commitments to Gandhi-inspired nonviolence (\u201cNonviolence and Racial Justice,\u201d 1957; \u201cThe Power of Nonviolence,\u201d 1958) and Jesus-inspired agape love (\u201cLove, Law, and Civil Disobediance,\u201d 1961; \u201cA Gift of Love,\u201d 1966) await full and widespread appreciation as the truly phenomenal gifts of inspiration, commitment, and guidance to a social movement that they were. They were gifts that, infused in and channeled by the Movement, changed the legal and social structures, the culture of race relations, and thereby the history of the United States. These gifts also inspired others in their struggles for similar changes elsewhere in the world. The consequences of the Movement that embodied these gifts confirmed, once again, that the combination of love and nonviolent struggle could, indeed, succeed. And, as has been the case throughout the history of the presence of persons of African descent in this country, these particular philosophical gifts were neither forged and developed in, nor mediated to others from, the contexts of academic Philosophy, but were, indeed, philosophizings born of struggles, gifts that changed a country for the better that, it is feared, has yet to recognize and embrace fully the confirmed lessons the gifts embody\u2026\nOverwhelmingly, the pursuit of desegregation and racial integration as goals of movements for democratic freedom, social and political equality, economic justice, and human dignity for Negroes has been a dominant item on the agendas of social and political philosophies motivating and guiding struggles exerted by people of African descent in the United States over the last half-century and more, manifested most profoundly in the Civil Rights/Freedom Movement. However, the Movement\u2019s integrationist agenda, moral-persuasionist strategies, commitment to nonviolence, and explicit commitment to a theologically and religiously grounded notion of love for the Movement\u2019s opponents was strongly challenged by other organizational forces (mid-1960s to the early 1970s), especially by \u201cYoung Turks\u201d in the Movement\u2019s Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), an influential number of whom were inspired by the revolutionary philosophies conveyed in the speeches, writings, and organizational activities of Malcolm X and the anti-colonial engagements and writings of Frantz Fanon as well as by major figures in decolonizing liberation movements in Africa and elsewhere that were being waged through armed struggle. These Young Turks, and others in a variety of decidedly Left-Nationalist organizations and proto-movements who were inspired by various notions of revolutionary transformation, initiated yet another resurgence of Black Nationalist aspirations and movements that came to be referred to collectively as the Black Power Movement. The period was also complicated by competitive conflicts with a cacophony of persons and organizations espousing commitments to anti-Nationalist multi-racial, multi-ethnic socialist and communist agendas.\nThis was a period of unprecedented tumult, complicated by violent rebellions by Black people in urban centers across the country, and by the nation\u2019s involvement in a gone-badly-wrong and increasingly unpopular war in Vietnam that was highlighted all the more by national and international movements against the War led principally by young, college-age people, many of whom had come of age politically through their involvements in or educative witnessing of the Civil Rights and Black Power Movements. Of particular note, a significant number of young White women who had been intimately involved in the Civil Rights, Black Power, and Anti-War Movements had become increasingly poignantly aware of the disrespect for, misuse, and underutilization of women by many men in the Movements and became radicalized into forging a movement to address their concerns, which was subsequently characterized as the Second Wave Feminist Movement.\nAll of these developments were fueled by and fostered intense intellectual adventures, some of which were also fertilized by practical engagements of various kinds. The Black Power Movement, in particular, overlapped with and both fueled and was fueled by philosophizings and engagements that were definitive of more expansive and consequential Black Consciousness and Black Arts Movements that, as had the Harlem Renaissance of several decades earlier, spurred an intensive and extensive renaissance of aggressively radical and expressive creativity in the arts that was centered, once again, on reclaiming for self-definition and self-determination the ontological being of persons and peoples of African descent, with influences, in many instances, from various Leftist ventures, nationalist and internationalist as well as socialist and communist. This was an unstable and volatile mixture that cried out for a clarifying philosophy to provide guidance through the thicket of ideological possibilities and the agendas for personal and communal identity-formation and life-praxes that each proffered with greater or less coherence and veracity.\nMore than a few spokesmen and spokeswomen came forward to philosophize on behalf of their group\u2019s or organization\u2019s (or their own) vision for \u2018what was to be done\u2019 to insure liberation for Black people, people of African descent. (\u201cLiberation\u201d was the watchword for the new agenda; \u201cNegro\u201d and \u201cColored\u201d were denigrated and cast aside, no longer acceptable as terms of racial identification). Politics\u2014and all aspects and dimensions of individual and social life were explicitly politicized\u2014became defined by and focused through the lenses of the substantive symbolics of racialized and enculturated Blackness, even as the intellectual warriors waging the conceptual and other battles on behalf of Blackness struggled to find adequate terms and strategies with which to forge satisfactory and effective articulations of the passionately sought and urgently needed new identities as articulations of long standing identities and life-agendas were discredited and thus rendered inadequate for a significant and influential few. For still a great many other \u201cNegro?\u201d, \u201cBlack?\u201d, \u201cColored?\u201d, \u201cAfrican- American?\u201d, \u201cAfrican-descended?\u201d, and \u201cAmerican?\u201d persons there was more than a bit of psychic turmoil and tension, no less of consternation and confusion. And hardly any of these persons, nor even many of the most ardent warriors calling for and/or purveying new notions and definitions of \u201cBlack consciousness\u201d and \u201cBlack\u201d agendas for individual and shared lives, knew of and had recourse to Alain Locke\u2019s sober and sobering well-reasoned \u201cThe New Negro,\u201d nor the rich resources that had been created by the producers and carriers of the Harlem Renaissance. And so the intensified ontologizing philosophizing proceeded at near breakneck speed driven largely by a generation of young adults few of whom had, nor would accept, little in the way of intellectual or practical guidance from the experienced and wise of previous generations for whom many of the young and arrogant had too little respect\u2026\nThe reason, Harold Cruse, a wise and very experienced elder of Left and Nationalist organizations and struggles and a formidable thinker in his own right, was careful to point out, was due to a severe and consequential disruption of the passing-on of experience-tested and verified knowledge from one generation to another by the ravages of the witch-hunting and persecuting of any and all accused of being a Communist or Communist sympathizer during the crusading campaign led by Senator Joseph McCarthy during the 1950s. Many lives and careers were destroyed as a result of McCarthy\u2019s campaign, and many persons and organizations with Leftist commitments were either destroyed or driven underground, or otherwise left severely tainted and thus made an \u201cuntouchable\u201d bereft of employment, even for one-time friends and close associates. (W.E.B. Du Bois was one who suffered this fate, which is largely why he made the momentous decision to renounce his citizenship and leave the United States for residence in Ghana, where he died\u2026) The radical Young Turks, then, not short of courage or passion, set out on a mission all but impoverished, in many cases, of much needed historical and intellectual capital, thus were sometimes poorly armed for the battles they sought to wage. Still, the trans-generational disruption that Cruse pointed out was not complete. There were those who filled the gap between the Harlem Renaissance and the rise of the new Black renaissance who would be of significant influence and guidance, and would serve some in the new movements as personal as well as intellectual mentors and role models: Richard Wright, Robert Hayden, Ralph Ellison, Margaret Walker, Gwendolyn Brooks, Lorraine Hansberry, and James Baldwin, among several others.\nThere would be much philosophizing born of struggles by the new generation. Much credit has to be given to those who had the wherewithal of discipline and fortitude, and good fortune, to survive and leave legacies of accomplishment that continue to enrich Black folks, and others. The Black Arts Movement, for example, had profound impacts through the productions and articulations that gave new directions and meanings to artistic creativity, to the agendas guiding creativity and expression and the mission of service to various audiences. A manifesto, \u201cTowards a Black Aesthetic,\u201d by Hoyt Fuller (1923\u20131981; Fuller 1994) and his work as editor of the journal Negro Digest, which later was renamed Black World and was followed by First World when the publisher of the latter was pressured to discontinue publication of a journal serving Black radicals, were path-setting ventures during a period much in need of clear paths. Likewise \u201cThe Black Aesthetic\u201d by the essayist and theorist Addison Gayle, Jr. (1932\u20131991), his introduction to an anthology that he edited and published bearing the same title (Gayle, Jr. 1972). A collection of writings on theory, drama, music, and fiction by many of the leading artistic minds in the new Black generation, The Black Aesthetic has come to be regarded by scholars as \u201cthe theoretical bible of the Black Arts Movement\u201d and thus did for the makers of this Movement what Locke\u2019s The New Negro had done for the makers of the Harlem Renaissance. Both Fuller and Gayle would play roles similar to Locke\u2019s in serving as midwives to the creative and critically-minded development of a sizable portion of a generation of seriously radicalized Black thinkers-artists.\nThe new activist thinkers-artists of the 1960s\u2014Nikki Giovanni, Sonia Sanchez, Amiri Baraka, A.B. Spellman, Larry Neal, Mari Evans, Haki R. Madhubuti, and Maulana Karenga, for example\u2014were as productive, formidable, and widely influential as were the New Negroes of the 1920s and 1930s, even more so as they exploited the advantages of access to the enabling resources of the media of radio, television, and recordings in addition to print media, and to the human resources that became available through lecture-circuits on college and university campuses. Many of these Black warriors of the intellect and arts took up positions, some settling into them for the long term, on the faculties of colleges and universities and helped to development the guiding philosophies and wage the political battles that ushered in new programs in Black and African Studies. In so doing they magnified the forcefulness and range of their intellectual and artistic powers and contributions, and helped to alter cultural and intellectual scenes in the United States and the African Disapora\u2026\nUntil quite recently, there were very few person of African descent who were professionals in the discipline of Philosophy. As already noted, W.E.B. Du Bois was one of a very few to study Philosophy formally while a student at Harvard but decided against pursuing it professionally. Alain Leroy Locke was one of the first persons of African descent in America to earn a doctoral degree in Philosophy (Harvard University, 1918). A few more followed decades later (1950s), among them Broadus N. Butler, Max Wilson, Berkeley Eddins, and, still later, Joyce Mitchell Cook, the first African American female to earn a Ph. D. in Philosophy. These were some of the pioneering persons of African descent in the United States who entered the profession of academic Philosophy with the certification of a terminal degree in the discipline.\nMore recently (late 1960s through the 1970s) successive generations of persons of African descent have entered the profession as cohorts of new generations of young Black women and men entered the academy with the expansion of opportunities for higher education that came as a result of the successes of the desegregation-integration and Civil Rights Movements. More than a few of these persons were influenced by the Black Power, Black Consciousness, and Black Arts Movements, as well, and in some cases by independence and decolonization movements on the African continent and in the African Diaspora in the Caribbean. The emergence of and pursuit of distinctive agendas within academic Philosophy to articulate and study philosophizings by persons African and of African descent were initiated by several of the new entrants, agendas that grew out of and were motivated by these movements. Thus, the new entrants were determined to contribute as educators, sometimes as engaged intellectuals involved in movement organizations, by identifying and contributing to, or by helping to forge anew, philosophical traditions, literatures, and practices intended, in many instances, to be distinctive of the thought- and life-agendas of Black peoples. Here, then, the wellspring of concerns and aspirations that gave rise to calls for, and efforts to set out, \u201cBlack\u201d philosophy, then \u201cAfro-American,\u201d and later \u201cAfrican American\u201d philosophy, precursive efforts leading to what is now the more or less settled name, but still developing concept, of Africana philosophy.\nFormal, professional recognition and sanctioning of these efforts, which had been pursued, with significant impact, through presentations of papers on and discussions of various topics in sessions during annual meetings of divisions of the American Philosophical Association (APA) and other organizations of professional philosophers and other organizations of teacher-scholars such as the Radical Philosophers Association (RPA) and the Society for Phenomenological and Existential Philosophy (SPEP), were achieved when, in 1987, the APA recognized the efforts as having established a legitimate sub-field of Philosophy and made \u201cAfricana philosophy\u201d an officially listed specialty in the discipline. Across the years, the APA\u2019s Committee on Blacks in Philosophy has been instrumental in organizing a number of these important sessions, though, of no less importance, many such sessions were hosted by other sympathetic and supportive committees of the APA as well as by other organizations of professional philosophers that held meetings concurrent with those of divisions of the Association. Thus, the recognition and sanction have come, to significant degrees, as results of long efforts led by philosophers Robert C. Williams (deceased), William Jones, Howard McGary, Jr., and La Verne Shelton, among others, each of whom gave years of service as chairpersons of the APA\u2019s Committee on Blacks in Philosophy. Each also contributed early articulations that initiated the work of forging the sub-field.\nAlso of special importance to this long development towards recognition and legitimation, and to the production of much of the early writings, presentations, and critical networking collegiality that have been foundational to the development of Africana philosophy, were a series of conferences devoted to explorations of \u201cBlack Philosophy\u201d or of \u201cPhilosophy and the Black Experience\u201d that were held during the 1970s, most of them organized and hosted at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HCBUs: notably, Tuskegee University, Morgan State University, and Howard University) though important gatherings were also held at the University of Illinois-Chicago Circle (ca 1970, another thirty years later), Haverford College (an international gathering in the summer of 1982 of African and African American philosophers and teacher-scholars from other disciplines), and, more recently, at the University of Memphis. Particularly noteworthy in this regard is the Philosophy Born of Struggle Conference, which has been hosted annually for fifteen years primarily through the indefatigable efforts of J. Everet Green and Leonard Harris, and the Alain Locke Conference organized and hosted biannually by the Department of Philosophy of Howard University (Washington, DC).\nThe development and institutionalization of African American philosophy, of Africana philosophy more generally, with recognition by the American Philosophical Association\u2014though not by all, or even most, departments of Philosophy in academic institutions\u2014have also been facilitated by the noteworthy success of many of the pioneers in securing and retaining positions in academic departments (of Philosophy, of Philosophy and Religion, of Philosophy and other disciplines) in various institutions of higher education across the country. A substantial few of these persons have earned tenure and promotions, several to the rank of Professor, while several have even been appointed to endowed professorships. Consequently, a slowly increasing number of philosophers who are African or of African descent now hold positions in departments and programs that serve graduate and professional students. Of importance, then, have been the growing number of lectures and seminars in colleges and universities across the country given and directed by philosophers of African descent in response to invitations, and as part of regular curricular offerings, respectively, of departments of Philosophy, often with the cooperation and co-sponsorship of other departments and programs. These invited presentations and regularized curricular offerings reconfirm and strengthen the intellectual legitimacy of much work in Africana philosophy while doing much the same for the invited and teaching philosophers.\nOne especially significant consequence of these important developments is that several of these persons now have built legacies of teaching and scholarship that span decades with significant influences on generations of students. Practitioners of Africana philosophy are even producing new generations of practitioners. And practitioners of all generations are contributing to the literature of articulate expression of what is now a substantial and growing body of works supporting teaching, research, and scholarship in Africana philosophy while, in the process of doing so, also initiating, and otherwise contributing to, substantial changes to discursive agendas. Certainly, the example beyond debate continues to be critical explorations of race and of \u201cracism,\u201d matters that have distorted the basic institutions, virtually all considerations and practices, and all lives across the entirety of the history of the United States of America, and that of much of the world. However, it was not until philosophers of African descent focused their philosophizing on critical engagements with the racial conditionings of the profession and of life generally that discussions, teaching, and scholarship within professional Philosophy were opened to and conditioned by new critical discursive agendas affecting numerous subfields within the discipline and the organization of the profession, evident in the surge of writings by philosophers African and of African descent published in mainstream journals and by mainstream publishers.\nRace Matters by Cornel West (1994) became the national and international best-seller that propelled West into prominence as an academic philosopher and preacher-become-public intellectual who contributed to reinvigorated public critiques of racism with professionally attuned philosophical acumen. Yet, his earlier publication Prophesy Deliverance! An Afro-American Revolutionary Christianity (1982) had even greater impacts on discourses within the academic disciplines of Philosophy, Theology, and Religion/Religious Studies, in particular. Of especially notable influence were his genealogy of racism and his sketching out of four distinctive traditions of responsive thought generated by Black thinkers. West\u2019s genealogical critique drew on several canonical figures (Nietzsche, Michel Foucault) and was thus emblematic of his expansive learnedness and creative ingenuity in drawing on canonical figures to redirect critical thought back upon the social orders and history-making practices of those subjecting folks of African descent, and others, to dehumanization.\nOthers contributing to and shaping such critiques include Howard McGary, whose Race and Social Justice (1999) brought together a number of seminal essays in which he explored moral and political questions regarding race and racism in a new and distinctive (and distinctively embodied) voice among practitioners of Analytic Philosophy, a voice concerned with social justice, with issues of equity and inclusion especially, while drawing on and highlighting lived experiences of African Americans conditioned unjustly and immorally. For McGary, philosophical work was no longer to be confined to analysis restricted to \u2018getting the terms right\u2019. Rather, having lived experiences of invidious racial discrimination and impediments to accessing and exploiting conditions of possibility by which Black persons might forge individual and group-shared flourishing lives, across generations, McGary has remained committed to disciplined, well-argued clarifications and revisions of key notions by which to pursue and secure social justice, most especially for those \u201cleast well off\u201d: the Black underclass.\nContinuing such efforts, in a different register, with substantial and innovative contributions is Paul Taylor (who studied with McGary at Rutgers University). His Race: A Philosophical Introduction stands out as an especially clearly-articulated, nuanced, clarifying navigation of many of the complexities of conceptualizations of race firmly situated in reconstructions of historical practices guided by political and other agendas. Yet, it is Taylor\u2019s Black is Beautiful: A Philosophy of Black Aesthetics that is especially noteworthy. It is, perhaps, the first-in-decades book-length \u201cassembling\u201d (Taylor\u2019s own characterization of his effort) of a deliberately philosophical theory of Black aesthetics: that is, a critical theoretical exploration of the roles expressive practices and objects play when taken up by Black folks in the creation and maintenance of their lifeworlds. (The philosopher Alain Leroy Locke, midwife to the New Negroes of the Harlem Renaissance, preceded Taylor by half-a-century in taking seriously Black expressive life, as did W.E.B. Du Bois, Zora Neale Hurston, Ralph Ellison, James Baldwin, Toni Morrison, and numerous others.) Taylor\u2019s efforts are doubly innovative in his endeavor to bridge two discursive communities heretofore not in communication: professional philosophers, and others, concerned with aesthetics who have had little to no concern with aesthetics in Black life; Black artists and critics fully immersed in the productions of and engagements with expressive practices and objects in Black life with little to no engagements with resources drawn from academic, professional Philosophy. As did Alain Locke, Taylor aims to contribute to a new generation of articulate thinkers who are focusing their critical acumen on the expressivity and performativity in productions of self, and of self in relations with others, of those who have been racialized as Black.\nBut, how have folks African and of African descent been figured in the expressive practices and products, and in the theorizings of such aesthetic ventures, produced, in both cases, by folks not Black? Robert Gooding-Williams is but one of several philosophers of African descent who probes these questions in his Look, A Negro! Philosophical Essays on Race, Culture and Politics (2006), a collection of essays connected, he notes, by his persistent effort to explore whether it is possible to interpret race in ways that would be in keeping with what is required in political and cultural life if the United States as a polity were to become actually structured by democratic principles and practices while adult citizens fully acknowledge the history and continuing legacies of White racial supremacy that have structured the polity from its inception. In the chapter on \u201cAesthetics and Receptivity: Kant, Nietzsche, Cavell, and Astaire,\u201d for example, Gooding-Williams rehearses accounts of aesthetic experiences by the canonic figures Kant (re: \u201caesthetic judgment\u201d) and Nietzsche (re: embodied sensibilities) in preparation for a critical reading and assessment of the philosopher Stanley Cavell\u2019s aesthetic reading of how the dancer Fred Astaire is rendered in a particular movie in which he stars (The Band Wagon) as the focal character who is able/enabled to reclaim himself (i.e., make a \u201ccomeback\u201d) as a star dancer. What Gooding-Williams lifts up is Cavell\u2019s failure to see that the Astaire-character is enabled by a Black male character who, in shining Astaire\u2019s shoes, transfers to Astaire and his feet a restoration of rhythmic capabilities by way of the rhythms the Black shoeshine-man articulates while brushing the Astaire-character\u2019s shoes and polishing them with his shine-rag. All of which presumes something (on the part of the film-maker; so, too, Cavell, though differently...) about the embodiment of enabling aesthetic capabilities of particular kinds in the being of the Black character representative of the culturally-inflected raciality of Black people.\nThere are centuries-long, quite rich traditions of thought articulated, and political praxis engaged in, by Black folks for whom it is the case that the constitutive racially of Black folks is such that it sets the terms not only of identity, but, as well, of the ethical imperatives of intra- and interracial mutualities, that is, of various modes and instances of solidarity. And, as well, for compelling pragmatic reasons: to contend with, ultimately to overcome, invidious racial discrimination and oppression. No small matters for persons and peoples suffering racialized dehumanization and exploitation thus in need of shared motivating and guiding notions of how to gain and sustain freedom and justice. Many concerned to forge freedom in just conditions have sought morally compelling guiding understandings in shared raciality, in being, by particular understandings of raciality, a distinctive people, a distinctive nation of Black people. Hence, traditions of \u201cBlack Nationalism,\u201d waxing and waning across the centuries, resurgent more recently in various forms (music and art; \u201cAfrocentric\u201d thought) and locales in the United States, in particular. Tommie Shelby, who became a certified professional philosopher after the resurgent Black nationalisms of the Black Power and Black Arts movements, while deeply committed to philosophical engagements with and out of contexts of lived experiences of Black folks in which much of his life has been conditioned, has, in his We Who Are Dark: The Philosophical Foundations of Black Solidarity, endeavored to work out a philosophically clarified and justified account of the terms and agenda of solidarity as a basis for organized and coordinated struggles for justice. The account is intended to be both motivating and welcoming of the solidaristic cooperation of persons Black and non-Black without needing to resort to what he reasons to be the philosophically indefensible racial essentialism of various construals of Black nationalism. Yet, the account is intended to be in keeping with important conceptual and normative groundings of Black political cultural life that are, as well, compatible with a notion of political liberalism worked out by John Rawls. With Shelby\u2019s efforts, too, there is the hard work of extending decidedly prominent mainstream philosophical thought (that of of Rawls in this particular case) to a creatively critical engagement with unjust limiting conditions on the lives of Black folks in conjunction with efforts of philosophical reconstruction and defense of principles of Black solidarity that embrace a notion of Blackness suitable for emancipatory work.\nLeonard Harris has been a pioneer of published works on African American philosophy and continues to be a major contributor in many ways, not least as an editor of collections that have made widely available important texts that otherwise would not have gotten the attention of researchers and scholars concerned with the philosophizings of Black folks. Of particular note, his edited collection The Philosophy of Alain Locke: Harlem Renaissance and Beyond (Harris 1989) provides ready access to philosophical essays from among Locke\u2019s more than three hundred published and unpublished essays and book reviews. And his Philosophy Born of Struggle: Anthology of Afro-American Philosophy from 1917 (Harris 1983) was for many years the only widely available, somewhat historically organized collection of writings by African American professional philosophers and other philosophizing Black scholars. (An important earlier collection is Percy E. Johnston\u2019s Afro-American Philosophers. (Johnston 1970)) More recently new collections devoted to African American Philosophy have been organized and published by Tommy L. Lott (Lott 2002); by Lott and John P. Pittman (Lott and Pittman 2003); and by James A. Montmarquet and William H. Hardy (Montmarquet and Hardy 2000).\nThis publishing is an important part of the story of Africana philosophy, and helps to make and legitimate the case that persons African and of African-descent, on the African continent and in the African Diaspora in the Americas and elsewhere, are creators and custodians of Africana philosophy. A number of publishers have recognized and accepted these developments and, after substantial, long-standing resistance and outright refusal by many to recognize historic writings by persons of African descent and contemporary scholarship by philosophers African and of African descent as proper instances of philosophical work, have made a priority of adding works of Africana philosophy to their lists of published works.\nOf particular publishing significance is the continuing, regular appearance of issues of Philosophia Africana: Analysis of Philosophy and Issues in Africa and the Black Diaspora, a journal for which Emmanuel Chukwudi Eze of DePaul University was founding editor until his unexpected death in 2007. Philosophia Africana remains the only scholarly journal in the United States that is devoted to Africana philosophy, though increasingly other philosophy journals are accepting and publishing writings that fall within the subfield. None, however, have been as generous as Philosophical Forum, which, under the editorial directorship of Max Wartofsky (deceased), devoted two entire special issues to explorations of philosophical matters of particular concern to Black philosophers. Noteworthy, too, has been the continuing midwifing of New York-based publisher and scholar Alfred Prettyman, who has devoted time, energy, and other resources to nurturing The Society for the Study of Africana philosophy (originally the New York Society for the Study of Black Philosophy), an organization of philosophers and other engaged thinkers of African descent, and persons not of African descent, who come together in his home to present and discuss ideas and works on the way to publication or recently published. For a brief period Prettyman was editor and publisher of the now dormant The Journal of the New York Society for the Study of Black Philosophy.\nThe professional recognition and legitimation of Africana philosophy generally, of African, African American, and Afro-Caribbean philosophy as sub-foci of the field; the notable success enjoyed by a slowly increasing number of persons African and of African descent in being hired, retained, and promoted by departments and programs in institutions of higher education; more publishing opportunities; a continuing vigorous schedule of regular conferences and conference sessions devoted to explorations of matters pertinent to the field\u2014all of these continue to be crucial to building and enhancing the literature-base of the field and to facilitating teaching, research, scholarship, and other collegial engagements and practices that are essential to forming and sustaining nurturing discursive communities devoted to engaging philosophizing productive of Africana philosophy. And the enterprise is being enriched by the participation and contributions of an increasing number of persons, students and professionals, who are neither African nor of African descent.\nSubstantial progress has thus been made in mitigating some of the impediments that had long hampered recognition of and attending to the philosophizing efforts of persons African and of African descent. Nonetheless, still more mitigating work remains. There is the need, for example, to bring to consideration for better appreciation the writings of several generations of especially thoughtful and insightful Black essayists and novelists, poets and musicians, artists and dancers, preachers and theologians, and other public-speaking Black intellectuals who, through their means of expression, have philosophized about the conditions and prospects of Black folks and, in many cases, have helped to sustain the will and determination to endure the assaults on the humanity, on the being, of persons and peoples African and of African descent. In this regard, too little attention has been given, for example, to the philosophical writer-novelist Charles Johnson who, before he became a distinguished novelist, was a graduate student in Philosophy. The articulated thought of many other Black writers, some of them novelists, also compel close, appreciative readings by philosophers for what these articulations disclose of the writers coming to terms thoughtfully and creatively with the exigencies of existence for Black folks as the writers imagined or re-imagined them in the locales and historical moments of their writerly creations. Likewise in many sermons, speeches, letters, songs, and dances created and expressed, creatively very often, by thoughtful Black persons. Of necessity, then, Africana philosophy must be an even more intensive and extensive interdisciplinary enterprise.\nA principal impediment to the recognition and appreciation of the philosophizings of Black folks have been the thorough investments in Eurocentrism and White Racial Supremacy that have grounded and structured so much of the historiography within the discipline of Philosophy for so very many decades. Resolving these misconstruals of the discipline\u2019s history will require substantial revisions, ones inclusive of the philosophizings of persons of many excluded groupings. In so doing, careful work must be done to reclaim for wider distribution and careful study as many as possible of the earliest articulations\u2014many of which were never published\u2014that helped pave the way to the development of African American philosophy, of Africana philosophy more generally, as fields of discourse (Kuklick 2001; Kuklick 2008).\nWith hindsight, an especially crippling factor in the development of Africana philosophy within academic Philosophy in the United States (throughout the African continent and the African Diaspora, in fact) has been that far too little of the attention of the pioneers, and of present practitioners, has been devoted to issues that are of significance to women African and of African descent even though, as has been indicated through the narration of the history of philospohizing born of struggles, the contributions of Black women have been significant though seldom with the prominence of attention they should have had outside of women\u2019s circles. As was shown, in the New Worlds in which African peoples were being re-made/were remaking themselves into new persons and peoples of African descent, numerous Black women across the generations were challenged to think hard and long about the assaults on their communities, their families, their very bodies and souls. Here, then, a compelling need to foster and support the philosophizing efforts of Black women who direct our attention to the lives and philosophizing of Black women, historically and contemporarily. Noteworthy in this regard are the groundbreaking, inspiring efforts of philosopher Kathryn Gines in founding the Collegium of Black Women Philosophers. The Collegium is bringing together women from across the country in conferences devoted to recovering and recognizing the contributions of pioneering women philosophers of African descent while exploring present issues and forging agendas of further work to be done.\nThe possible futures of developments in Africana philosophy in African and the African Diaspora are open. The initial work of making the case for and legitimacy of African American, African, and Africana philosophy and its subfields has been accomplished with significant success even without universal acceptance and respect. That is to be expected, for no intellectual movement or disciplinary sub-field ever wins acceptance by all. Still, there is more to be done by way of consolidating the gains while forging new developments as minds are turned to challenging issues, many of them novel. To note, for two decades much of the effort of practitioners of Africana philosophy has been devoted to explorations of race, a foundational and pervasive complex of forceful factors shaping virtually all aspects and dimensions of life in the formation of Modernity in Europe and the Americas, and in every instance in which Europeans encroached on the lands and lives of peoples around the globe. Achieving justice without racism in polities bequeathed by Modernity is hardly finished business. So, the need to rethink race will be with us for a while yet.\nHowever, the need will be generated by resolutions of old difficulties and challenges. Success will bring new challenges. Among these, settling such questions as whether there can and should be norms, practices, and agendas that are definitive of philosophizing identified as instances of \u201cAfricana\u201d philosophy. If so, then on what terms, and to what ends, are the requisite agendas, norms, and practices to be set to serve the best interests of African and African-descended peoples, without injustice to non-Black peoples, and thereby provide those philosophizing with normative guidance while conforming to norms that ensure propriety and truthfulness in discursive practices on conditions of warrant that are open to and can be confirmed by persons who are neither African nor African-descended? Should such concerns continue to be appropriate conditioners of philosophical effort? The praxes and supportive discursive communities constitutive of Africana philosophy will have to meet certain institutionalized rules governing scholarly practices even as those of us committed to the development of the enterprise contribute to critiques and refinements of these institutionalized rules while devising and proposing others.\nThe work constituting Africana philosophy, on the African continent and throughout the African Diaspora, has helped to change the agendas and rules of discourse and praxis in Philosophy and other disciplines and discursive communities in contemporary academic institutions and organizations. The enterprise has been a significant contributor to the emergent recognition of the need to give greater respectful attention to raciality and ethnicity (as well as to gender, sexual orientation, and other constitutive aspects of our personal and social identities) as conditioners of philosophical praxis without thereby invalidating reconstructed notions of proper reasoning. As well, practitioners of Africana philosophy have aided the development of much wider and deeper recognition and acknowledgment of inadequacies in basic notions and agendas in the legacies of Western Philosophy thereby helping to open us all to challenging new needs and possibilities for further revising philosophical traditions and practices. The expansion of academic Philosophy to include Africana philosophy is indicative of efforts to achieve greater intellectual democracy in multi-ethnic, multi-racial societies. These developments should be continued, aided by philosophizing persons who are neither African nor of African descent, nor, even, professional academic philosophers, and continued as part of a larger, ongoing effort to appreciate and learn from the many life-enriching creations of all peoples as contributions to the treasure-houses of human civilization.\nGordon, L, 2008, An Introduction to Africana Philosophy, Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.\nMonahan, M.

        "raw_content": "Book Review (re-edit): Dead Until Dark, by Charlaine Harris. (Book 1 of the Sookie Stackhouse series 2001).\nOriginally before writing this review I had begun this series after purchasing \u201cTrue Blood Omnibus\u201d, which contained the first three novels of the series. After re-hashing the beginning of this post several times, I realized why I was having such a difficult time writing. I just can\u2019t heap these books together and review them. It just doesn\u2019t do it justice. Not only have I found the first book of this series to be extremely entertaining, but I have found the subsequent novels do not fail to keep me enthralled for hours when technically I should be sleeping! Thus I have decided to review each of the Sookie Stackhouse series individually, the way they were originally intended, even though I have the Omnibus. If nothing else I feel it respectful to the author.The first novel of the Sookie Stackhouse series is \u2013 Dead Until Dark, and is authored by Charlaine Harris. In this novel, Charlaine introduces the idea that the supernatural could one day wish to \u201ccome out of the closet\u201d so to speak, and join main stream society. A world where the impossible becomes the possible, and something as insane as Vampires join the human race. Dead Until Dark establishes such a phenomenon with the simple creation of \u2013 \u201cTrue Blood\u201d. A synthetic form of blood which allows Vampires to feed and sustain themselves whilst not requiring Humans as \u201clive prey\u201d. With this in mind, the whole story begins with Sookie Stackhouse and her first meeting with a vampire.\nSookie Stackhouse is an ordinary 20 something girl, or so she would like to have you believe, with a secret. A curse as she calls it. She works in the local bar and lives with her grandmother in the house her father was raised in. She doesn\u2019t have a boyfriend, and she doesn\u2019t often date. That is mainly due to one reason. She is able to read people\u2019s minds. She is telepathic. Which turns out comes in handy when there is a serial murderer in town killing women who have been known to fraternize with Vampires. Especially considering she meets her first Vampire who also becomes her boyfriend!\nDead Until Dark, has been an experience in it itself. Reading this roller coaster has been so entertaining I have honestly devoted way too much time to it! The idea of Vampires becoming public and existing on synthetic blood has put an entirely new spin on the supernatural stance. It really is a fantastic twist, and has opened a huge range of possibilities. The murders kept the story flowing at a rapid rate, and gave fate to pull twists and turns on young Sookie\u2019s love life, which also kept me glued to each page throughout the book.\nI would recommend these books to anyone who is interested in Vampire\u2019s and Werewolves. Those who enjoyed \u2013 \u201cSupernatural\u201d and \u201cVampire Diaries\u201d on TV may also find this series interesting. This is a book for young adults, though does contain a lot of older material which could also be offensive to some people. However, I think that it would be suitable to anyone aged 15+. Out of 10, I would rate this book a definite 8.\nSo far so good. I am getting into the story. Charlaine Harris has really let her talent shine with this book, and I am looking forward to some time to read more.\n13/05/2016 pumpkinandeggbook, book review, book suggestions, bookblogger, bookworm, charlaine harris, fantasy, fiction\nPrevious Previous post: Book Review: Den of Sorrows, by Quinn Loftis.

        "title": "Trump Got $500K From Private Prisons Holding Migrant Children And Asylum Seekers: Report",
        "raw_content": "Trump Got $500K From Private Prisons Holding Migrant Children And Asylum Seekers: Report\nAs new federal policies greatly expand the number of migrants held in private detention centers, a new bombshell report from The New York Times revealed that some of the players in this billion-dollar industry have particularly strong ties to the Trump administration.\nAccording to The Times, the president\u2019s education secretary provided funding to one of the groups. His defense secretary, Jim Mattis sat on the board of another. And \u2014get this\u2014 president Trump himself collected $500,000 from two private prison companies housing detained migrant families for his inauguration fund. And some of the contractors employ prominent Republican lobbyists with ties to Mr. Trump and his administration, including someone who once lobbied for his family business.\nThe report notes that the administration\u2019s new focus on ending the practice of \u201ccatch and release,\u201d under which an ever-larger number of those apprehended at the border are held in detention, has meant that the business of housing and caring for migrant children is booming.\nA review of regulatory filings, campaign donations and lobbying records reveals a number of important links between people in Mr. Trump\u2019s orbit and the groups poised to earn financial rewards from his immigration policies.\nMigrant youths detained at the border are housed at more than 100 government-contracted shelters, detention centers and other facilities across the country.\nThe groups operating them have hauled in more than $1 billion in contracts in recent years to house, transport and watch over migrant children in federal custody.\nMr. Trump\u2019s recent executive order to scale back the policy and keep migrant families together as much as possible will not necessarily undercut this business. The existing shelters will still house children who cross the border alone, and the president\u2019s order called for migrant families to be detained together indefinitely, which could spur another round of contracts to expand the number of family detention centers.\nTwo private prison companies that run family centers, the Geo Group and CoreCivic, are among the politically connected contractors. Each donated $250,000 to Mr. Trump\u2019s inaugural fund.\nThe Geo Group\u2019s political action committee also gave $170,000 to a joint fund-raising committee set up between the Republican Party and the Trump campaign; $50,000 to a \u201csuper PAC\u201d supporting the president; and, more recently, donations to Republican Party organizations focusing on the House and Senate.\nThe Geo Group also hired a lobbyist, Brian Ballard, who lobbied for Mr. Trump\u2019s golf courses in Florida before he became president. A recent disclosure form shows that, on behalf of the Geo Group, Mr. Ballard\u2019s firm was registered to lobby about \u201cimmigration regulation.\u201d\nAccording to the report, Trump\u2019s Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, once sat on the board of General Dynamics and has received millions of dollars in contracts from the Department of Health and Human Services office that works with migrant children.\nMr. Mattis, who resigned from the board upon entering the Trump administration in early 2017, is not the company\u2019s only connection to the president. A General Dynamics employee served on Mr. Trump\u2019s transition team, and the company\u2019s chief executive, Phebe Novakovic, attended a meeting at the White House last year with Mr. Trump and other corporate executives. On two occasions, Ms. Novakovic has praised Mr. Trump\u2019s trade actions.\n\u201cGeneral Dynamics, which has registered to lobby on the issue of \u201cborder security,\u201d also operates a PAC that has donated to members of the Republican party, including more than $1.1 million to GOP candidates and causes during this election cycle, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. The company, which says its PAC \u201csupports Congressional candidates who support a strong national defense, regardless of their party affiliation,\u201d made one of those donations to the congressional campaign of Greg Pence, the brother of Vice President Mike Pence.\u201d\nRelated Topicsdonald trumpfeaturedgovernment corruptionimmigrationprivate prisons\nMSNBC\u2019s Nicolle Wallace Sounds The Alarm On Putin\u2019s \u2018Honey-Do\u2019 List For Trump\nTrump Just Compared Migrant Families To Enemy Combatants: \u2018It\u2019s Like You\u2019re Liberating Towns In a War\u2019",

        "raw_content": "Pope John Paul II spoke yesterday with Lucia de Santos, 93, a Carmelite nun, who believers say was the main recipient of prophecies from the Virgin Mary that included the spread, and then the collapse, of Communism.\nThe Vatican today disclosed the so-called third secret of F\u00e1tima, which for decades has kept this shrine of the Virgin Mary at the center of conspiracy theories and doomsday cults. The Vatican described the secret as a vision of the 1981 assassination attempt on Pope John Paul II.\nCardinal Angelo Sodano, the Vatican secretary of state, explained that the one concealed part of the prophecies said to have been revealed to three Portuguese shepherd children by an apparition of the Virgin in 1917 was a vision of an attempt to kill a pope.\nThe \u201cbishop clothed in white,\u201d who is the pope, \u201cmakes his way with great effort toward the cross amid the corpses of those who were martyred,\u201d Cardinal Sodano said as he described what he called an interpretation of the vision to 600,000 pilgrims gathered at the sanctuary where John Paul II had just beatified two of the shepherd children, Francisco and Jacinta Marto, and thanked the Virgin for saving his life on May 13, 1981.\n\u201cHe too falls to the ground, apparently dead, under a burst of gunfire,\u201d the cardinal said.\nMehmet Ali Agca, a Turkish gunman, shot the pope as John Paul drove through a crowd in St. Peter\u2019s Square in 1981 on the anniversary of the 1917 apparition. Among the explanations the gunman gave prosecutors at a trial in 1985 was that his attempt was \u201cconnected to the third secret of the Madonna of Fatima.\u201d\nThe cardinal\u2019s announcement was an effort by the Vatican to put an end to the kind of fevered speculation that has at times overshadowed the shrine\u2019s spiritual importance to hundreds of millions of Catholics.\nVersions of the secret, broadcast on hundreds of Web sites (usually under headlines like, \u201cThird Secret Revealed!\u201d) range from worldwide nuclear annihilation to deep rifts in the Roman Catholic Church that lead to rival papacies.\nThe following are excerpts of the statement by Secretary of State Cardinal Angelo Sodano revealing the so-called third secret of Fatima:\n\u201cOn the solemn occasion of his visit to Fatima, His Holiness has directed me to make an announcement to you. As you know, the purpose of his visit to Fatima has been to beatify the two \u201clittle shepherds.\u201d Nevertheless, he also wishes his pilgrimage to be a renewed gesture of gratitude to Our Lady for her protection during these years of his papacy. This protection seems also to be linked to the so-called \u201cthird part\u201d of the secret of Fatima.\n\u201cThat text contains a prophetic vision similar to those found in the sacred scripture, which do not describe with photographic clarity the details of future events, but rather synthesize and condense against a unified background events spread out over time in a succession and a duration which are not specified. As a result, the text must be interpreted in a symbolic key.\n\u201cThe vision of Fatima concerns above all the war waged by atheist systems against the Church and Christians, and it describes the immense suffering endured by the witnesses to the faith in the last century of the second millennium. It is an interminable Way of the Cross led by the Popes of the 20th century.\n\u201cAccording to the interpretation of the \u201clittle shepherds,\u201d which was also recently confirmed by Sister Lucia, the \u201cBishop clothed in white\u201d who prays for all the faithful is the Pope. As he makes his way with great effort towards the cross amid the corpses of those who were martyred (bishops, priests, religious men and women and many lay persons), he too falls to the ground, apparently dead, under a burst of gunfire.\n\u201cAfter the assassination attempt of 13 May, 1981, it appeared evident to His Holiness that it was a \u201cmotherly hand which guided the bullet\u2019s path,\u201d enabling the \u201cdying Pope\u201d to halt \u201cat the threshold of death.\u201d On the occasion of a visit to Rome by the then Bishop of Leiria-Fatima, the Pope decided to give him the bullet which had remained in the jeep after the assassination attempt, so that it might be kept in the shrine. At the behest of the bishop, the bullet was later set in the crown of the statue of Our Lady of Fatima.\n\u201cThe successive events of 1989 led, both in the Soviet Union and in a number of countries of Eastern Europe, to the fall of the Communist regime which promoted atheism. For this too His Holiness offers heartfelt thanks to the Most Holy Virgin. In other parts of the world, however, attacks against the Church and against Christians, together with the burden of suffering which they involve, tragically continue. Even if the events to which the third part of the Secret of Fatima refers now seem part of the past, Our Lady\u2019s call to conversion and penance, issued at the beginning of the 20th century, remains timely and urgent today.\n\u201cIn order that the faithful may better receive the message of Our Lady of Fatima, the Pope has charged the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith with the making public the third part of the secret, after the preparation of an appropriate commentary.\u201d\nFatima fanatics have held hunger strikes \u2013 one even hijacked a plane \u2013 to try to force the Vatican to disclose the secret. During John Paul\u2019s first visit to the shrine in 1982, on the first anniversary of the assassination attempt, a knife-wielding Spanish priest tried to kill the pope, but was wrestled to the ground by security officers.\nJohn Paul has always credited the Virgin of Fatima with saving his life. After he visited the shrine in 1982 to give thanks for his survival, a bullet extracted from his body was placed alongside diamonds in a gold crown worn by a statue of the Virgin.\nIn 1991, on the 10th anniversary of the attack, he returned again to give thanks for his life as well as for the collapse of Communism, which believers say the Virgin of Fatima also predicted in 1917.\nThe cardinal said the secret in its entirety would soon be published by the Vatican \u201cafter the preparation of an appropriate commentary.\u201d\nThe pope did refer to the prophecies today, speaking of \u201cF\u00c3\u00a1tima, where these times of tribulation were foretold,\u201d but he made no mention of the \u201cthird secret.\u201d Instead, he once again gave thanks \u201cfor the goodness of God toward me, when severely struck on that May 13, 1981, I was rescued from death.\u201d\nThe pope first learned of the secret a few days after he was elected in 1978, the Vatican said. He did not announce it himself today, said his spokesman, Dr. Joaqu\u00c3\u00adn Navarro-Valls, because he was \u201cpersonally involved.\u201d Vatican officials did not say why the secret was not revealed sooner after the assassination attempt in 1981.\nIn a new tribute at a prayer service at the shrine on Friday night, the pope donated to the shrine the ring given to him by Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski, the late primate of Poland. Cardinal Wyszynski, whose long fight against Communism in Poland inspired the present pope and millions of their countrymen, told John Paul after his election in 1978 that he would lead the church into the new millennium.\nDr. Navarro-Valls dismissed speculation that the gift was a signal that the pope was set to resign as \u201c150 percent wrong.\u201d He described the ring as \u201cone of the pope\u2019s most precious possessions,\u201d given as an offer of thanks.\nThe fact that the pope put the two dead witnesses to the Virgin\u2019s apparitions on the path of sainthood today was another sign of his devotion to F\u00c3\u00a1tima. The two, Francisco and Jacinta Marto, are the first children ever beatified by the Roman Catholic Church who were not martyrs. Beatification, which is bestowed only on the dead, is the penultimate step before sainthood.\nBefore the ceremony, the pope, who turns 80 on Thursday, met privately inside the basilica near the children\u2019s tombs with the third surviving witness to the apparition, Lucia de Jesus dos Santos, 93, a Carmelite nun, who believers say was the main recipient of prophecies from the Virgin about 20th century debacles. The Vatican said that it had consulted with Sister Lucia before making its announcement today.\nThe Virgin of F\u00c3\u00a1tima was said to have appeared before three shepherd children on May 13, 1917, and on five later occasions. Lucia was 10. Her cousins, Francisco and Jacinta, who were 8 and 7, died in the influenza pandemic a few years later. Believers say two of the F\u00c3\u00a1tima secrets were revealed in writing by Lucia in the 1940\u2019s. The third secret was put in a sealed envelope and sent to Rome more than 40 years ago.\nInterpretations of the secrets vary, but generally believers think that the first foretold the end of World War I and the start of World War II, and that the other predicted the spread, then the collapse of Communism and the conversion of Russia.\nThe latter prophecy, which came with a request that the church consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, made Fatima an ideological shrine for anti-Communists during the cold war. John Paul II finally consecrated the whole world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary in 1984.\nFatima, like the rest of Portugal, also had fascist links during World War II, when Portugal was neutral under the right-wing dictatorship of Ant\u00c3\u00b3nio Salazar but traded with the Nazi regime. This month, the rector of the sancutary, Luciano Guerra, confirmed news reports that in 1976 F\u00c3\u00a1tima received Nazi gold bars bearing the Third Reich insignia looted from Jews during the war, and sold them in 1982 and 1986 to finance construction at the sanctuary.\nToday, many pilgrims, some wearing baseball hats emblazoned with the names of Jacinta and Francisco, cheered after Cardinal Sodano delivered his message.\n\u201cIt\u2019s wonderful that the pope knew the prophecy and survived it,\u201d said Lucia Dias, 31, a lawyer from Sintra, who added that she had once believed that the third secret was a prophecy of World War III. She made her own prediction about the pope: \u201cI think now he will die soon.\u201d\nUntil today, besides John Paul and Sister Lucia, the only other living person believed to be privy to the secret was Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, the head of the Vatican\u2019s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.\nIn 1996, he told Portugal\u2019s main Catholic radio station that there was nothing worrisome in the message, and that it remained secret because the Vatican wanted to avoid \u201cconfusing religious prophecy with sensationalism.\u201d\nWhether today\u2019s announcement will appease some of the more fanatical devotees of the \u201cthird secret\u201d mystery is unclear. Some of those believers, who choose to view the reforms of the Second Vatican Council as heresies predicted by the Virgin of Fatima, may dismiss the Vatican\u2019s announcement as a cover-up.\nEven some who attended Mass today seemed let down. \u201cWhat they said all happened in the past,\u201d Julio Estela, 33, a car salesman from northern Portugal, said after the cardinal spoke. \u201cThis isn\u2019t a prediction. It\u2019s disappointing. I think there\u2019s more.\u201d\ninformation courtesy of crystalinks.com/fatima.html",

        "raw_content": "George Morris critiques a rider.\nOur fourth rider\u2019s leg is similar to our first, but the stirrup is twisted incorrectly and is perpendicular to her foot. It\u2019s not even close to being at a right angle to the girth. The stirrup is also on the tip of her toe, which is turned out past 45 degrees. She needs to work without stirrups to modify her toe position and find a natural leg position. The angle behind her knee is open, and I sense that she\u2019s reaching for her stirrup, so she needs to shorten it a hole. Her heel is down and her ankle is flexed. Though the rotation of her toe is bad, her leg is very stable.\nHer base of support is also very good. She is allowing the jump to take care of her seat, not dropping back or jumping ahead. From this angle, she appears to be looking down, which is contributing to the roach back she has. Her topline from her neck to her coccyx is convex. She has the best release of all four riders. This would be labeled an automatic release with a beautiful following arm. Her independent hand is 2\u20133 inches below the crest; it could be a half an inch lower. Her fingers are lightly closed on the reins but relaxed with a nice contact with the horse\u2019s mouth.\nThis is a very cute horse with a good expression. He has a super front end that is symmetrical. He\u2019s a little loose below the knee, which I don\u2019t mind. He is a flat jumper. If you took a ruler and measured from his poll to his dock, the line would be straight. It looks as if he stood off this rampy oxer, which invites a horse to jump flat.\nThe horse appears healthy, but the turnout of this pair is very rough. The horse has a long coat and doesn\u2019t look as if he\u2019s been groomed very well. If it\u2019s a hunter class, his mane should be braided. His tail is short as if another horse has chewed on it. The saddle pad is too big.",

        "title": "Prague wants to limit beer bikes | Prague TV - Living Like a Local! Jobs, News, Lifestyle and More ...",
        "raw_content": "Prague wants to limit beer bikes\nThe pedal-powered moving bars have caught City Hall's attention\nby Raymond Johnston - Prague.TV (Foto: stagweb.co.uk)\nThe city seeks to regulate \u201cbeer bikes,\u201d the pedal-powered moving bars that have recently been in the city center. Residents have been complaining to City Hall that the vehicles block traffic and cause noise.\nThe city is looking at what existing laws can be used, as this would be an easier solution than passing new laws to address the situation.\nThe beer bikes also called party bikes or pedal pubs, are the size of a van and sit up to 16 people around a small counter with a beer tap. All of the riders pedal to propel the bike, and they can drink at the same time.\nThis new battle follows after the city's successful efforts to rid the center of Segways, and current efforts by Prague 1 to limit bike tours and scooter tours in the city center.\nThe beer bike is advertised as \u201can unconventional cycle trip to the historical center of Prague\u201d for groups of people with an experienced guide who taps beer in the course of their journey. The ride is for private events and for regular tours.\n\u201cThe operation of so-called beer bikes is one of a series of new trends that European cities must face, not just Prague. We can look at the example of Amsterdam, where the operation of these bikes was forbidden in November last year. And I would like to draw attention to the fact that this city and its inhabitants are widely known for their great degree of tolerance,\u201dPrague City Councilor Jan Wolf (KDU-\u010cSL) said on the City Hall website.\nThe beer bike is classified under the law as a non-motorized vehicle, along with tricycles and tandem bicycles propelled by human power and intended for road traffic. According to the Ministry of Transport, the vehicle meets the minimum technical requirements for a braking system and low visibility lighting.\nThe vehicle may also be fitted with an auxiliary motor up to a certain limit in size and speed. The basic rules of the road include, among other things, that no one endangers life, health or property.\n\u201cRecently, both citizens and visitors of Prague have increasingly been alerting me to the interruption of public order, to the limitation of the fluidity and safety of both traffic and of passers-by and, last but not least, to the safety of the passengers of these so-called beer bikes. I am determined to address this situation,\u201d Wolf said.\n\u201cOn the other hand, the solution is not so simple. There are legal barriers to just banning something. We need to deal with them, but first of all, we need to know what we have, how we want to address specific issues and the positive and negative consequences,\u201d he added.\n\u201cI already have an analysis and opinion on a proposal for a possible solution from the relevant City Hall departments. I will personally initiate negotiations on the solution of this issue with the relevant state institutions and, of course, the city sections that are of immediate concern. At the moment, one of the possible solutions seems to me to ban this mode of operation in places where there is a ban on alcohol consumption in public areas. This solution would be accompanied by a simple enforcement by the Municipal Police,\u201d Wolf said.\nOther laws concerning public order and safety may also be used to address the situation.\nCity Hall learned from its efforts to regulate Segways that banning something from the streets is not a simple task. The national law concerning motor vehicles had to be changed, and signs had to be put up across the city specifying the ban, which took effect in 2016.\nThe Prague 1 district has been attempting to limit bikes including scooters and bike tours in parts of the city center during business hours, but the implementation has been delayed due to a lawsuit by biking advocates.",

        "raw_content": "Home Survival Guide Boost Your Website With Search Engine Optimization\nBoost Your Website With Search Engine Optimization\nJust throwing together a website without careful attention to the details may not be worth the effort. #b#Lance Bachmann#/b#, president of Local Internet Traffic and its soon-to-be-launched subsidiary, 1seo, explains that if a website does not appear on the first page of an Internet search, its chance of attracting visitors is drastically reduced.\n\u201cNinety percent of all traffic goes to the first pages of Google, Yahoo, and Bing,\u201d says Bachmann, who is based in Oakford, Pa. \u201cIf you go to the seventh or eighth page, you\u2019re going to get no traffic so you might as well not even be there.\u201d\nTo move up in the ranking, a website must be optimized, and Bachmann was scheduled to discuss this process in his talk \u201cIncrease Website Traffic with Search Engine Optimization\u201d on Wednesday, March 31, at 9 a.m. at the Small Business Development Center at the College of New Jersey in Ewing. For more information visit www.sbdcnj.com.\nAfter making sure a website is built around a company\u2019s core competencies, which is what search engines are looking for, Bachmann says it is time to get into the details.\n#b#Keywords#/b#. Keywords are the words users enter in a search engine to find the information they need. Keywords vary in how competitive they need to be to achieve a high search engine ranking.\n\u201cEvery single keyword has a certain amount of competitiveness in terms of how many people are competing for it,\u201d says Bachmann. Since there are more lawyers than roofers in Philadelphia, for example, it is more difficult and more expensive for lawyers to get top billing. Similarly, insurance is more competitive than mattresses or new furniture.\nTo determine how competitive particular keywords are and to select keywords, many tools are available, says Bachmann, for example, Google\u2019s AdWords, Market Samurai, and Web CEO.\n#b#Metadescription#/b#. This is a list of keywords ranging from 75 to 105 characters used to rank the website. The metadescription does not include the company name and appears in the back end of the website in a markup language like html. \u201cIt is what allows the search engines to understand what you\u2019re trying to do, what keywords you\u2019re trying to rank for on the first page of the search engine,\u201d says Bachmann. \u201cIt should be what your website is about.\u201d\nAn example of a metadescription might be \u201cplumbing company Philadelphia, plumbing supply company Philadelphia, plumbing supply company New Jersey.\u201d\n#b#Page titles#/b#. Make sure that the title is different on each page of the website. The title of an individual page should be the main keyword people are likely to use to find it. A title for a home page should begin with this keyword and be followed by the name of the firm and its location; an example is \u201cPersonal Injury Lawyer, ABC Associates, Trenton, NJ.\u201d\n#b#Keyword density#/b#. Make sure that five to seven percent of the content on every page of the website is made up of the keywords used on the back end.\nLink building. To boost the ranking of a website, a company must create backlinks to its website. That is, it must link from other credible websites. \u201cThese back links,\u201d says Bachmann, \u201cmust say that you are an authority on the subject matter.\u201d\nCreating relevant links that point to your site can be accomplished by way of articles, blogs, and press releases and by exchanging links with other companies. Bachmann\u2019s company, for example, creates such backlinks and tracks monthly the links gained and the page ranks for each one.\n#b#Page rank#/b#. Once effectively optimized, a website\u2019s page rank should improve. Google assigns a number from 0 to 10 to every website. The higher the number, the better. Website owners can find out a website\u2019s ranking using Google\u2019s website grader, which also offers some opportunities for improving the assigned rank.\n#b#Legitimate content#/b#. Follow the rules and make sure all content makes sense. Sometimes people try to sneak information like lists of towns and keywords onto a webpage by using \u201cinvisible text.\u201d Bachmann advises strongly against this. \u201cIf you get caught doing that, your website will be banned,\u201d he says. \u201cOnce you are banned from Google, Yahoo, and Bing, who are you going to complain to? They own the companies, and if you don\u2019t play by their rules, they don\u2019t care.\u201d\nBachmann is a native of Philadelphia, where his single mother was a tax auditor for the state of Pennsylvania for 30 years. He earned a bachelor\u2019s in education, focusing on special education, at Temple University, where he later got an executive MBA.\nBachmann started his sales management career at the Donnelley Directory, where he was account manager, account representative, and sales training manager. From 2002 to 2005 he worked at Verizon Yellow Pages as district sales manager, account executive, and account representative. In 2005 he founded yellowpages-.com, where he had more than 750 people working for him.\nAbout two years ago Bachmann started his current business, Local Internet Traffic, where, he says, \u201cwe have about 20 nerds working for us right now.\u201d He has also purchased the website 1seo.com (standing for \u201cNo. 1 in search engine optimization\u201d), which will be part of a subsidiary created primarily for branding the search engine optimization function of the business. As compared to the large number of employees at yellowpages.com, he says, \u201cTwenty people is kind of small, but it is a lot more enjoyable.\u201d\nBachmann still sees himself as a teacher in his role as advertiser, but in a different context. \u201cI think what separates me from most people is I can talk to people and make them understand that this is what your return on investment should be,\u201d he says. \u201cI love the fact that I can make people\u2019s businesses grow.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "(Redirected from Propoxyphene)\nDeath may occur when opiates are combined with other depressants such as benzodiazepines, barbiturates, gabapentinoids, thienodiazepines, alcohol or other GABAergic substances.[1]\nSummary sheet: Dextropropoxyphene\nDextropropoxyphene, propoxyphene, Darvon\n[(2S,3R)-4-(dimethylamino)-3-methyl-1,2-diphenylbutan-2-yl] propanoate\nDextropropoxyphene (also known as Propoxyphene and Darvon) is a synthetic opioid of the propionate chemical class. Like other substances in its class, particularly tapentadol and tramadol, it produces mild euphoric, analgesic, sedative and antitussive effects when administered (typically orally, but sometimes intravenous or rectally).[citation needed] Notably, it is reported to produce significantly less euphoria in comparison to other opioids.[citation needed]\nDextropropoxyphene was first patented in 1955 and subsequently manufactured by Eli Lilly and Company.[citation needed]\nDue to its euphoric and analgesic effects, dextropropoxyphene is known to be habit forming, albeit not to the same extent as other opioids such as morphine or heroin.[citation needed] Notably, dextropropoxyphene is also known to cause seizures and potentially fatal cardiac arrhythmia at high doses[citation needed], which are not able to be reversed by naloxone.[citation needed]\nToday, dextropropoxyphene is rarely encountered on the streets and is sometimes obtained by prescription from a compounding pharmacy.[citation needed] It is strongly recommended that one research this substance's toxicity and use proper harm reduction practices if choosing to use this substance.\n4.2.1 Serotonin syndrome risk\nDextropropoxyphene is similar in structure to tapentadol. While tapentadol has an ethyl substitution on the gamma-carbon, dextropropoxyphene instead has both benzyl and propionyl substitutions. Dextropropoxyphene also contains a benzene ring in place of the phenol ring found in tapentadol. The empirical formula of dextropropoxyphene is C22H29NO2 and has a molar mass of 339.471 grams per mole.\nOpioids produce their effects by binding to and activating the \u03bc-opioid receptor. This occurs because opioids structurally mimic endogenous endorphins which are naturally found within the body and also work upon the \u03bc-opioid receptor set. The way in which opioids structurally mimic these natural endorphins results in their euphoria, pain relief and anxiolytic effects. This is because endorphins are responsible for reducing pain, causing sleepiness, and feelings of pleasure. They can be released in response to pain, strenuous exercise, orgasm, or general excitement.\nUnlike most opioids, dextropropoxyphene is also a weak serotonin reuptake inhibitor as well as a potent nicotinic acetylcholine antagonist[2]. Dextropropoxyphene has a bioavailability of about 40% and is metabolized by the cytochrome P450 3A4 enzyme. The optical isomer of dextropropoxyphene, levopropoxyphene has no analgesic activity but retains antitussive effects.\nThe general sensation of dextropropoxyphene can be described as one of euphoria, relaxation, anxiety suppression and pain relief.\nPain relief - This effect is less intense than that of other opioids such as morphine and fentanyl.\nPhysical euphoria - This particular substance can be considered as less intense in its physical euphoria when compared with that of morphine or diacetylmorphine (heroin). The sensation itself can be described as extreme feelings of intense physical comfort, warmth, love and bliss.\nRespiratory depression - At low to moderate doses, this effect results in the sensation that the breath is slowed down mildly to moderately, but does not cause noticeable impairment. At high doses and overdoses, opioid-induced respiratory depression can result in a shortness of breath, abnormal breathing patterns, semi-consciousness, or unconsciousness. Severe overdoses can result in a coma or death without immediate medical attention.\nDizziness - Dextropropoxyphene causes dizziness at a higher rate than other opioids.\nOrgasm suppression\nCognitive euphoria - This particular substance can be considered as less intense in its cognitive euphoria when compared with that of morphine or diacetylmorphine (heroin). The sensation itself can be described as powerful and overwhelming feeling of emotional bliss, contentment, and happiness.\nConfusion - Dextropropoxyphene may cause confusion at a higher rate than other opioids.\nErowid Experience Vaults: Propoxyphene\nDextropropoxyphene has a high toxicity relative to dose. As with all opioids, long-term effects can vary but can include diminished libido, apathy and memory loss. It is also potentially lethal when mixed with depressants like alcohol or benzodiazepines and generally has a wider range of substances which it is dangerous to combine with in comparison to other opioids. Dextropropoxyphene is known to lower the seizure threshold. It should not be taken during benzodiazepine withdrawals as this can potentially cause seizures. Dextropropoxyphene is known to cause potentially fatal heart arrhythmias, and it is discouraged to take in very heavy doses or several days in a row.\nAs with other opioids, the chronic use of dextropropoxyphene can be considered moderately addictive with a high potential for abuse and is capable of causing psychological dependence among certain users. When addiction has developed, cravings and withdrawal symptoms may occur if a person suddenly stops their usage.\nTolerance to many of the effects of dextropropoxyphene develops with prolonged and repeated use. The rate at which this occurs develops at different rates for different effects, with tolerance to the constipation-inducing effects developing particularly slowly for instance. This results in users having to administer increasingly large doses to achieve the same effects. After that, it takes about 3 - 7 days for the tolerance to be reduced to half and 1 - 2 weeks to be back at baseline (in the absence of further consumption). Dextropropoxyphene presents cross-tolerance with all other opioids, meaning that after the consumption of dextropropoxyphene all opioids will have a reduced effect.\nPsychedelics - Dextropropoxyphene is known to lower seizure threshold[citation needed] and psychedelics also cause occasional seizures.\nCocaine - Cocaine and dextropropoxyphene both block sodium ion channels, which may increase cardiotoxicity and lead to possible cardiac death.[citation needed]\nSerotonin syndrome risk\nCombinations with the following substances can cause dangerously high serotonin levels. Serotonin syndrome requires immediate medical attention and can be fatal if left untreated.\nMAOIs such as syrian rue, banisteriopsis caapi, 2C-T-7, \u03b1MT, phenelzine, selegiline, and moclobemide[3]\nSerotonin releasers such as MDMA, 4-FA, methamphetamine, methylone and \u03b1MT\nSerotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) such as tramadol and DXM\nUnited States - Dextropropoxyphene is a Schedule II or Schedule IV Controlled Substance depending on the dosage and other ingredients.[4] Dextropropoxyphene has been withdrawn in the United States and is no longer available through prescription, although it is possible some compounding pharmacies may still carry it.\nUnited Kingdom - Dextropropoxyphene is a Class C, Schedule 2 or Schedule 5 substance depending on the dose.[5]\nDextropropoxyphene (Wikipedia)\n\u2191 Blockade of Rat \u03b13\u03b24 Nicotinic Receptor Function by Methadone, Its Metabolites, and Structural Analogs | http://jpet.aspetjournals.org/content/299/1/366.abstract\n\u2191 DEA Controlled Drugs | https://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/schedules/orangebook/e_cs_sched.pdf\n\u2191 Home Office Controlled Drugs | https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/controlled-drugs-list--2/list-of-most-commonly-encountered-drugs-currently-controlled-under-the-misuse-of-drugs-legislation\nRetrieved from \u2018https://psychonautwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Dextropropoxyphene&oldid=132450#.7BPropoxyphene\u2019",

        "raw_content": "Select Committee on Environmental Audit Minutes of Evidence\nSIR DENNIS PETTITT, CLLR DEREK GREEN, MR ALAN ALLSOPP, MR DAVID PICKLES, OBE, MR DICK HUSKINSON and MS SARA BATLEY\n539. Good morning. Could I invite Sir Dennis to say a few words?\n(Sir Dennis Pettitt) Thank you very much. As you can probably tell from my croaky voice, I am suffering a little bit from asthma this morning, so my misfortune is your good fortune because you do not have to listen to me for very long, and I have to go to another meeting very shortly anyway. May I say sincerely on behalf of Nottinghamshire County Council we welcome you all to County Hall. We are especially delighted to welcome MPs representing the House of Commons Environmental Audit Committee who have taken the time to visit us and to receive evidence at first hand on the many energy efficiency initiatives in our region of the East Midlands. I am sure the decision to come here reflects our national reputation for innovative energy work and we welcome this opportunity to help shape a national energy policy. As we reach the end of the millennium it is crucial that we are successful in shaping an energy policy to take us into the next century, and in the famous words of the former Vice President, Dan Quayle, of the United States, \"If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure\"\u0097one of the most profound statements he ever made. Shaping an energy policy that places care for our environment at its core, encouraging sustainability of energy conservation, depends on developing partnerships between business and the public sector. Local authorities are uniquely placed to provide such a lead in the regions. Working in partnership with other local authorities and charitable organisations, we have already formed a successful Energy Partnership of local authorities in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. The success of this Partnership has now extended beyond the boundaries of our two counties, into Europe indeed. With funding support from the European Commission, the Newark and Sherwood Energy Agency is now achieving even further success for that Partnership. A great deal of hard work has gone into establishing and achieving this success to date. If we are to achieve our vision of a sustainable energy future it is vital that this work is continued, with the assistance and financial support we need to develop even more radical solutions. You will hear today of just some of the many innovative projects that are in progress and also new initiatives that we wish to see developed in this region. I am sure you will be impressed by what you hear. May I conclude by wishing you a most productive and enjoyable day. Thank you very much indeed.\n540. Sir Dennis, may I thank you very much, on behalf of all my colleagues and my team, for receiving us here today. The Environmental Audit Committee's role is to look at the policies and programmes of the Government and to see what effect they are having on environmental protection and sustainable development, and to look at what targets the Government is setting itself and see whether they are living up to what they have committed themselves to. Dan Quayle might have a few words about that, too. John Prescott likened us to terriers snapping at the heels of Government. As an aficionado of \"One Man and his Dog\", I prefer the idea of the sheepdog intelligently shepherding the Government towards appropriate goals on climate change and environmental topics. We are at the moment looking at energy efficiency. This is the subject of our current investigation and we therefore decided obviously to see the German Government, the Danish Government and Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire County Councils. That was the obvious nature of our remit and we had heard about what you were doing in the two county councils and, therefore, you are our third visit\u0097Bonn, Copenhagen and Nottingham. We are delighted to be here and we look forward to a very productive session and to hear all that you are doing and for you to make a contribution, we hope, to what the Government is doing, because we shall certainly be pressing on the Government anything of value that we see in the direction of better energy efficiency and a contribution towards reducing CO2 emissions and all the rest of it in the course of our work. So thank you for your hospitality. I am sure the message will get back to London through us.\n(Sir Dennis Pettitt) Thank you. I must depart now but I hope to meet up with some of you at least at lunchtime. Have a good morning.\n541. We will begin our formal session, Cllr Green, and, therefore, may I first of all, before we begin asking questions of you on the basis of your submission to us and the document you have given us, ask is there anything you or your colleagues would like to say to us before we begin the questioning session?\n(Cllr Green) Thank you very much, Chairman. First, with your permission, I would like to introduce the panel to you, if I may. On my left I have Alan Allsopp, who is the Principal Energy Management Officer for Nottinghamshire County Council. Alan is the Principal Officer, as I say, for us. He has helped to develop a Partnership for the benefit of all 19 local authorities in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire and has been the Chair of the Officer Partnership Working Group since its establishment in 1996. As Energy Adviser to the Local Government Association, he has contributed to a local government position report entitled, \"Energy Services for Sustainable Communities\". On my right I have David Pickles, OBE, Chief Architect and Energy Manager to Newark and Sherwood District Council. An architect by profession, David has been with the Newark and Sherwood District Council for 20 years and is currently seconded to the European co-funded Newark and Sherwood Energy Agency as its Director. An effective advocate of the social, economic and environmental benefits of housing energy efficiency, he was recently awarded an OBE for services to energy efficiency and sustainable housing. On my far right I have Dick Huskinson, Borough Technical Service Officer of Chesterfield Borough Council. In addition to his position as Borough Technical Service Officer, Dick is also Chair of the Local Authorities' Energy Partnership Renewables Task Group. He is also largely responsible for the success of the PEACH, that is, the Poolsbrook/Erin Area Community Heating Project, having successfully secured and co-ordinated funding for this work. The concept of the PEACH project is to put in place the infrastructure for an energy from waste community heating project with combined heat and power utilising recovered landfill gases. On my far left I have Sara Batley, Research Fellow at De Montfort University, Policy Adviser to the Local Authorities' Energy Partnership. Sara has been responsible for the development of the 2020 strategy document and has also completed other research work for the Partnership. Currently Sara is carrying out work for Leicester City Council looking at energy efficiency for the fuel rich and, for Newark and Sherwood Energy Agency, completing a renewable audit for the district. These two work contracts are combined with her PhD on electricity liberalisation and the impact on renewables. Myself, I am Cllr Derek Green, I am Joint Chair, of LAEP; I am also the Vice-Chair of the Resources Committee at County Hall here and the Energy and Building Sub-Committee. If I may, I would like to add that the LGA position statement indicated that 150,000 new jobs could be created through a comprehensive energy efficiency programme. This would also result in an improvement to the United Kingdom balance of trade, \u00a32.5 billion. There are 8 million people living in fuel poverty in the United Kingdom with an estimated 30-50,000 excess winter deaths as a direct result. That equates to 1,020-1,700 in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. There is, therefore, enormous potential for employment, health and economic benefits and that is why we formed the Partnership. Before we formed the Partnership local authorities were working together on a range of initiatives, including energy conservation, Local Agenda 21 and the regeneration of the coalfield communities. We therefore had a good foundation on which to start. The County Council had already developed excellent initiatives with Newark and Sherwood District Council and we originally wished to extend this through Nottinghamshire with opportunities from the deregulated energy market and our desire to eradicate fuel poverty. I am pleased to say that not only all the authorities in Nottinghamshire joined but also all our colleagues in Derbyshire. I would like to ask Alan to add a few words to that, if I may, Chairman.\n(Mr Allsopp) Yes, I would like to. As Cllr Green has indicated, the initial driving force behind the Partnership was the opportunity to maximise savings from the deregulated energy market from bulk discount savings, and also to invest those in energy efficiency through what is now the concept of the Warm Homes Bill. There was also a very timely piece of legislation called the Home Energy Conservation Act and that certainly focused attention to the Partnership and, as housing authorities, we had to prepare reports to the Secretary of State. That focused the attention of the Partnership basically because we were able to work together in a Partnership to meet very tight deadlines to prepare those reports, and the real opportunity to deliver action in the Partnership was certainly the funding that came in the establishment of the Energy Agency co-funded through the European Commission and, indeed, the financial trust fund from the Energy Saving Trust to deliver HECA action. I think as a summary of how we have evolved, my summary would be the very successful Energy Partnership is certainly driven by legislation and regulation, local strategies with a national policy. Funding to deliver action is absolutely essential, and the opportunities that that may provide for innovation and, in particular, local exemplar projects that we can replicate throughout the nation, which you will hear about this afternoon. Finally, probably the most driving thing we have to do is to influence a cultural change in the nation.\n(Cllr Green) Chairman, I would fully endorse those views. It is befitting that we are here today because it was three years ago in this very chamber that LAEP was started. We sat around and discussed and decided to go forward with it. We feel we have achieved a great deal but we also know that there is a great deal more to achieve yet. That is why we have come up with our strategy and based it towards the future. Chairman, with your permission, when you question us is it perfectly all right for my fellow people on the panel here to come in?\n542. Yes, feel free, no problem. Thank you very much indeed for those opening remarks. As you said, Mr Chairman, and Mr Allsopp said in particular, national legislation and regulation are very important in this context. We would like to lead off with that particular topic and I will ask Mrs Walley to come in there.\n543. May I also thank you for making all the arrangements for our Committee to visit and I am very pleased to be here. What you started three years ago we hope we can help together in partnership to take forward. Having said that, could I kick off our questioning by asking you about the Local Government Bill which is currently going through Parliament, the \"best value\" Local Government Bill. You talked a great deal in your introductory remarks about the importance of Partnership and the importance of having resources and the importance of having duties. Do you feel that the \"best value\" Local Government Bill is giving you the tools that you need to push this agenda forward, and if not, what changes, if you had a chance, do you think could still be made in its stage currently going through Parliament?\n(Mr Huskinson) I will take that. As far as the concept of best value is concerned, I think everyone in this room accepts that it is an excellent concept. The business of questioning, challenging, what we do, the four `c's etc., is obviously the right way forward. It is right that we look at what we do, it is right that we look at why we do it, or even should we do it, and it is right that we should look at who would do it as well, better, can we do it in partnership? Can we give it to someone else to do? The concept of value is very much accepted. The fact that there is now a Bill going through Parliament ostensibly to allow that to take place is welcomed. One of the major shortcomings we fear in the Bill as it stands at the moment is that there are no powers whatsoever for us to set up an energy services company. You will recall that the Minister was asked that at some stage through the Bill and promised a written reply, which I understand basically says, \"We will consider it.\" Well, our view is really that legislation is now, legislation comes very infrequently; this is the time to insert a clause which gives specific powers for local authorities and local authority Partnerships like ours either to operate energy services companies ourselves or in conjunction with either private sector energy companies or voluntary sector. At the moment there are no powers within the Bill as it stands at this stage.\n544. Thank you, that is very helpful. Certainly if you wish to send us a little note on that in addition to the verbal evidence today I am sure the Committee will be pleased to receive it. May I slightly move on and say that there is further local government legislation coming before Parliament in respect of the new duty for local authorities to \"promote the economic, environmental and social well-being of their areas\". Do you see that duty as still being on the cards and would that formula assist the ability of local authorities and Partnerships to integrate the consideration of policy issues and in respect of the joined-up thinking that you really want to see?\n(Mr Huskinson) In a word, yes. We want to see this duty which has been promised because what it effectively does is it requires local authorities to think in a holistic form about everything they do, which means that energy no longer becomes a peripheral matter, it is part of everything we do. So if energy is considered in quite literally every single one of our policies, then it will receive the level of importance that it deserves. As you know, the climate change document tries to raise the profile and I think the duty to meet those three requirements is going to be a very useful thing but it still needs this power that I referred to previously.\n545. In view of that reply, could I ask you to comment on evidence that the Committee received some months back from, I think, Sutton Borough Council in London, who felt that we should not really have statutory duties in terms of Agenda 21 issues being taken forward by local authorities but we should have Local Agenda 21 policies being taken forward on a voluntary basis. Could I ask you how you would square the voluntary nature of the challenge that there has been, and which I think the Prime Minister as well made in respect of Local Agenda 21, fitting alongside duties which perhaps some of us would like to see as well?\n(Mr Huskinson) The voluntary element of Local Agenda 21 I think you will find certainly most of the authorities in this partnership have taken on board. I think we already have met the Prime Minister's target for our Local Agenda 21 strategies. Yes, it is right that there should be voluntary requirements or a voluntary element in that because we are trying to change attitudes and you will hear later that we are very big on attitude change. But part of the problem with local authorities is that we are only allowed to do what the law says we can do. Therefore, if we want to do something, if we want to do it effectively, what we actually need is a duty which is imposed by Parliament.\n546. Finally, in terms of that duty, do you see that as being linked to having financial resources to spend on doing the work that you would want to do, and if so, how?\n(Mr Huskinson) Yes, we do, and obviously you will hear more of that later.\nChairman: No doubt.\nDr Iddon\n547. We are about to legitimise a new tier of government in the regional development agencies. From evidence we have taken from Government, these would appear to be primarily to promote economic activity and this particular Committee is worried about that in that we see little evidence that they are there also to promote environmental considerations and social considerations. Do you have a view on that?\n(Mr Huskinson) Our view is that with the new regional development agencies we do not actually see a difference between economic development and environmental development because environmental development properly applied leads to economic development. One of our objectives in the Partnership is to achieve economic development through the use of energy management, energy conservation efforts, so we actually bring the two together. We do feel that within the regional development agencies there is a very good opportunity to start to influence the thinking because the RDAs obviously have a big impact in regional planning guidance. If energy management, energy efficiency, renewable energy, whatever, is featured very highly in the regional planning guidance it will appear in structure plans, it will appear in local plans and it will become a useful vehicle for achieving this change of mindset that we are all so keen to achieve.\n548. Does your Partnership already have a dialogue with your RDA?\n(Mr Huskinson) Not yet, no. It is only just getting itself formed, but it certainly will come in.\n(Mr Allsopp) I think the Partnership itself has a regional dimension and we do, in fact, work in partnership on a regional basis and have had some success recently with a regional funding bid to the European Commission, where we established funding to carry out a renewable study for the region. Impacting from that, what we propose to do is tailor that down from a regional basis. We are not taking the national guidelines on renewables but we are taking a local focus and identifying the potential in this particular region based on that study. So we do work on a regional basis but it is not as yet formalised.\n549. One of the problems with the regional development agencies is that they have four main duties and that does not include the environment. The environment is an appendage, if you like, so that anything you do you must do with an eye to environmental protection. You may find yourselves, despite the fact that you are two counties working together, in conflict with an RDA which takes a rather more economic, strictly economic, narrow economic, view of things. That is going to be a problem, I suspect. That is the problem with not having words in the RDA formulation which include sustainable development. Would you see that as a problem?\n(Mr Huskinson) I would see that as an opportunity for the two counties and all the districts within the two counties to show that there is a concerted political will to ensure that environment is given its right level of importance in RDA directives.\n550. So you would hope that, having established the partnership between Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, the other counties in the region could be pulled along behind, so to speak?\n(Mr Huskinson) Yes. We already have links into Leicestershire. The Partnership itself is Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire but there are already links into other East Midlands counties.\nMrs Brinton\n551. As somebody who actually spent all my childhood and grew up in Derby and obviously spent a lot of time in Nottingham, I am absolutely delighted to be here today and to be observing such an excellent Partnership approach, but following on really from what the Chairman has said and taking the Government's objective as making links, joined-up Government, how can we promote joined-up thinking on energy efficiency at local government level? I am asking you here how we involve all the players, voluntary, private and business?\n(Cllr Green) I think our own energy strategy is an excellent example of joined-up thinking initially. We certainly considered the impact of energy on a wide range of issues\u0097environmental, economic and social. We feel we need Government support to move it forward to deliver our joined-up action and our joined-up spending, and there will be a need to have a political dimension in it, we feel, and a need to discuss with other areas how we are going to move forward. That is one of the biggest problems we feel we face at the moment politically, meeting and networking with other areas to put forward concerted action.\n552. Absolutely. I think we would all agree with that on this Committee, but could you give us any idea as to what lead and guide you would like from central government on this, what model and structures, and also how this would mesh in by regional structures? We have talked about RDAs and the problem would primarily be seen only in economic terms, but what structures would you want from central and regional government?\n(Ms Batley) I would refer back to the previous question with regard to the duty to consider economic, environmental and social benefits, the duty that is being considered to be imposed on local government at present in the Bill that is passing through Parliament. So I would say that, as far as particular support for joined-up thinking is concerned, there is provision in the Bill already. The other assistance that central government could offer is in relation to capital investment for schemes which are revenue-earning, so that a revenue-earning scheme would not have to pay back its capital. That revenue could then be invested in further energy efficiency works.\n553. On a final point on this section, could I ask what measures you yourselves have taken to inform other local authorities, not just neighbouring ones but also national, and if you have actually thought of inviting Government Ministers to come along and convene meetings of neighbouring authorities on this?\n(Cllr Green) We have not done that as at the present time, I must admit. This is something which, as you said, will need to come forward. I think it is a priority issue that we need to take on board. We want to move the Partnership forward.\n554. Coming back to the point that Ms Batley made in response to Mrs Brinton, you are saying you would be content if this additional duty were placed upon you as local authorities to promote economic, environmental and social well-being in your areas. If that duty were laid upon you in the forthcoming Local Government Bill, that would meet your requirements?\n(Ms Batley) That would meet the requirements in terms of making local authorities think in a joined-up way on energy efficiency, but I think we would also need some co-ordination of funding sources and to consider the capital investment requirement in order to deliver joined-up action, not just joined-up thinking.\n555. So there needs to be some money as well?\n(Ms Batley) Of course.\n(Mr Huskinson) I wonder if I might point out one of the problems with funding is that we are all used to seeking funding wherever we can get it and these days it has to be grant money. It includes the National Lottery, it includes European Union, it includes landfill tax. All these funding regimes have different outputs, they all have different timescales, they all have different deadlines, and putting together a basket of funding requests is what we have to do each time we come to a major project and that is extremely difficult. The other thing which is extremely galling to those on the receiving end is that, to take an example, the landfill tax credit scheme is a lovely example where there are \u00a3130-odd million available of landfill tax credits and every year there are tens of millions which are not spent because it is not co-ordinated and it goes back to Customs and Excise, and at the same time other projects which have the backing of the regulatory body ENTRUST and which have the backing of a particular landfill operator cannot proceed because that landfill operator has run out of his little bit of the landfill tax credit scheme. So what we are saying is yes, there is obviously a need for additional moneys in terms of capital but some of that could come from co-ordination of existing funds.\n556. If I may follow that up, if you have not already done so would it be possible for you to give the Committee the details of the different funding sources you actually have so that we have the complete picture of where the bits and pieces of money are coming from to have that understanding of the fragmentation that needs to be replaced, if that has not already come in in our evidence?\n(Mr Huskinson) Yes.\nMr Loughton\n557. If we can get away from this horrible phrase \"joined-up\" thinking and \"joined-up\" government for a while and move on to energy services, you talked about some of the briefs we have had about energy services for sustainable communities. Could you talk a bit about the actual provision by local authorities in delivering energy services, perhaps your wish-list, and then how you are restricted in doing that by the current scenario?\n(Cllr Green) We feel that we have a duty to promote a holistic focus to the energy services under the new Local Government Bill and the Partnership sees education to be a vital focus of our work and that is where we want to progress into the future.\n(Mr Allsopp) From my experience, we do have a role in role-setting for the social agenda and this could be facilitated by an energy services company. Currently, this would only be a facilitating role but our preferred view is that we try to develop this through the local authorities route. Last year we were funded from the Energy Saving Trust to develop such an initiative. We seem to be in the area in local authorities where the private sector can do almost anything unless it is forbidden. Local authorities need specific powers to enable them to do so. Our own local authorities' ESCO came to an unfortunate termination because we have no specific powers to enable us to do it, and because of the funding regime with the Energy Saving Trust we run up to the Funding deadline. We would hope there will be this facility in the \"best value\" Local Government Bill in order to remove that obstacle and to enable local authorities to have the facilities to be able to deliver sustainable energy for the benefit of the community. I think that is what is really required\u0097joined-up thinking on a local basis delivered by an energy service company.\n558. Can you explain exactly how you would envisage an energy services company working? I know there is a dichotomy at the moment between the utility companies, who make money from selling energy and make more money from selling more energy. How do you work in partnership with them, as I think you are suggesting, and various other agencies to promote energy efficiency whilst at the same time keeping the utility companies interested?\n(Mr Allsopp) The original concept behind our original scheme was to take the financial savings from deregulation basically and those would have been in the order of \u00a360 to \u00a370 per household, and then to encourage that householder to try and ring-fence that pot of money in order to pay the loan charge of the investment on energy efficiency measures. For example, we estimate that an investment of about \u00a3400 per household would be required to deliver a 20 per cent. CO2 reduction. So if we could ring-fence that money and maintain the actual revenue expenditure for the household the same, that money could then be used to pay off the loan charge for that investment, such as cavity fill insulation, condensing boilers, etc., so that it would be revenue neutral to the household. The household would then receive the benefit of lower energy bills into the next millennium and beyond and receive obviously comfort conditions. What we were intending to do for our role model was obviously to form a partnership on a preferred bidder status with the utility supplier for gas and electricity, and the ESCO would have a revenue income stream for that. The operating surplus would then be targeted specifically at the eradication of fuel poverty. So we would then link that into the HEES schemes and other initiatives and negotiate bulk discounts with energy efficient providers. So the concept would be to deliver the Warm Homes Bill. That was our original intention.\n559. So you would buy bulk power from the utility companies and then apportion it across fuel poverty households?\n(Mr Allsopp) We would not actually buy the energy. We would negotiate on a preferred bidder status, so the regional energy company or any preferred bidder would still be supplying the energy, just in the same way as they would now, but we would have facilitated that to happen under an honest broker-type approach, and the commission that would have given us in operating surplus we would have ploughed that money back into an affordable warmth strategy. Basically it was a not-for-profit organisation.\nPrepared 3 June 1999",

The book featured an image of a couple in bed along with an explanation about what was happening:\n\"As they cuddled, your dad's penis moved gently inside your mum's vagina and the sperms flowed out,\" the book read.\nThe children's book, \"Mummy Laid an Egg,\" also drew complaints from the group. It featured a cartoon drawing of a man and woman having sex on a skateboard. That book was award the British Illustrated Children's Book of the Year.\nOther publications encouraged primary-aged children to learn about anal intercourse, oral sex and prostitution. One book compared sex to skipping - something they can do all day long.\n\"Parents don't want their children to be exposed to material which sexualizes them and most would be deeply upset if these materials were used with their primary-aged child,\" Mike Judge, of the Christian Institute told The Daily Mail. \"If public bodies believe these resources are suitable for young children, there is clearly a problem with their judgment and more control needs to be given to parents.\"\nJustin Hancock, the editor of a website devoted to sex and relationship education for young people, defended the materials - but said he understood how parents could be upset.\n\"Age and cultural appropriateness is the key,\" he wrote in an editorial published by The Guardian. \"There is no way on earth I would want my materials to be used for primary school kids. No sex educator wants to upset parents, teachers or children.

        "title": "BERTALAN, Hilton. \"Dancing to Death: The Ongoing Movements of Emma Goldman and Differential Activism - 5 - - Th\u00e8ses et m\u00e9moires sur les anarchismes Theses and dissertations about anarchism",
        "raw_content": "\u201cBut remember. Make an effort to remember. Or, failing that, invent\u201d (Wittig, 1971, 2).\nIn this thesis I have made a number of suggestions. First, certain elements of Goldman\u2019s work and differential activism are worthy of more attention than they have been given. Second, these elements constitute new and radical ways of theorizing and understanding social movements and social change. Third, the fact that Goldman can be connected to these forms suggests resonances between them \u2013 and more specifically, that Goldman can be seen to have anticipated certain concepts. Chapter three and four were constructed in a way so as to make them very similar, that is, as separate yet connected fields that could be brought together through the concepts of transformation found in the work of Anzald\u00faa, Butler, and Deleuze. Yet more remains to be explored with regard to this connection \u2013 one which I could only begin to discuss in this thesis. Many remarks by Goldman that are similar to those of differential activists were not discussed. For example, Goldman\u2019s (1969) discussion of \u2018violence\u2019 as \u201cbut a drop in the ocean [\u2026] compared with the wholesale violence of capital and government\u201d (34) is strikingly similar to a remark from the One Off Collective (2001) that \u201cour \u2018violence\u2019 is a drop in the ocean compared to their violence\u201d (5). In other words, the resonances that have been pointed out in this thesis are only a beginning of a Goldman scholarship that focuses on the contemporary relevance of her work. A literature of this sort would contribute to an existing academic project that takes seriously the contemporary relevance of anarchist thought \u2013 a project whose list of contributors is all too short (Antliff, 2004 ; Call, 2002 ; Day, 2001/2005 ; Heckert, 2005 ; Jeppeson, 2004 ; Lance, 2006 ; May, 1994/2004). [1]\nThe element of anarchist thought that has resonated with differential activism is the construction of social, political, and economic alternatives with two things always in mind : that they seek to be interconnected rather than insulated and that they remain aware of individuals, groups, and tactics that may be excluded. Multiplicity is connected to, and rooted in, what transgender activist and theorist Kate Bornstein (1993) calls an \u201coutsider sensibility\u201d (166). The outsider, the freak, the dispossessed, the marginalized, and minority discourses are not only recognized as those most often left out and ignored, but also those from whom activist-theorists can connect with and learn from in an attempt to give up privilege and the desire to dominate. This also means learning from (both internally and externally) the forms of organization, resistance, and strategies for survival that have come from oppressed spaces. This notion comes through well in a story about an incident involving the scientist William James :\n\u201cWilliam James was giving a public lecture on astronomy, describing how the earth spins around itself as it orbits the sun and how the sun, in turn, orbits around the centre of a vast collection of stars called our galaxy. He was in full flight when a little old lady interrupted from the back of the auditorium. \u2018Young man, excuse me, but you\u2019ve got it all wrong. The world rests on the back of a giant turtle.\u2019 William James was slightly taken aback, but ready for a discussion. He asked, \u2018If that is true, madam, what is the turtle standing on ?\u2019 \u2018Another turtle,\u2019 she shot back. Gently, now, \u2018And what is that turtle standing on ?\u2019 \u2018Don\u2019t get smart with me, young man. It\u2019s turtles all the way down.\u2019\u201d (Hawking, 1988, 1).\nIn this instance, multiplicity can be seen in two ways : as a view of the old woman\u2019s discourse as being equally important as the scientific discourse (as one of multiple discourses) and as the minority discourse which we could initially align ourselves with despite the likelihood that we would consider the scientific discourse to be the most sensible and rational.\nChapter two and three discussed several other transformative elements that can be found in both Goldman\u2019s work and discussions of, and from, differential activism. First, each rejects the notion of a vanguard or leaders as a necessary component of social movements. For example, Goldman\u2019s (1970a) statement, \u201cI claim no monopoly of the movement\u201d (399) irritated reporters who wanted to clearly identify who was leading struggles in a way similar to the frustrated observers that Marcos refers to in chapter four of this thesis. The refusal to offer a programme or final answer to struggles is a unique characteristic of both Goldman and Marcos. This element is made particularly unique by the notoriety that Goldman and Marcos each experienced, and thus the available opportunity they each had to take a position of authority. Second, both Goldman and differential activism focus on struggle as necessarily interconnected, that is, aligned with other groups and tactics. In doing so, each go beyond simply developing relationships between groups by concerning themselves with issues of power and domination amongst both groups and their participants. Divisiveness, undemocratic decision-making, and domination are a key concern in Goldman\u2019s work as well as amongst differential activists such as Marcos (1995) who (in a manner similar to both Goldman\u2019s concern discussed in chapter three and Anzald\u00faa\u2019s comment on the need for a collectivity to connect diverse identities) argues that \u201cthe differences that divide us and turn us against one another should not prevent us from uniting against a common enemy\u201d (245). Third, both engage in an ethico-political refusal to settle down. One of the key connections that the work of Goldman and differential activism have to poststructuralist thought is that they are equal in their unintelligibility and their lack of desire to occupy a comfortable and identifiable theoretical or political space. Fourth, both can be characterized by an affinity for decentralized forms of organizing. Fifth, each make reference to an ethic of love to describe a way of interacting that avoids domination and cultivates democratic and self-critical discourse. Sixth, both Goldman and differential activism embrace ceaseless change as a way to remain perpetually open to new ways of thinking. Seventh, social change is viewed as that which takes place not only in traditional political and economic spheres, but also in everyday interactions, culture, and the relations of race, gender, and sexuality. In this sense, social change is prefigurative, taking place immediately rather than put off for a later date.\nBy making these connections, I have tried to demonstrate the contemporary relevance of Goldman\u2019s work and, more generally, the anarchist tradition to which she is connected. I have tried to suggest that however unique the ethico-political notions of differential activism, they are not entirely new. As Emilio (2003) from the MTD puts it,\n\u201cthe concepts of horizontalism, self-organization/self-management and direct democracy are not at all new [\u2026] anarchism has been talking about these themes for many years\u201d (33).\nAnarchism, therefore, helps those of studying social movements become aware, understand, and historically situate the transformative elements of differential activism. In this sense, anarchism becomes what Marcos (2001a) refers to as \u201cthe stubborn history that repeats itself in order to no longer repeat itself, the looking back to be able to walk forward\u201d (104). By looking back to anarchism we can not only better understand elements of differential activism, but also reactualize conceptions and forms of resistance so as to carry on a still relevant ethico-political project. Raising anarchism in such a way is also meant to suggest that Marxism and its accompanying notions of social change and organization, limits what we see and appreciate in differential activism. From Foucault\u2019s (1973) suggestion that \u201cMarxism exists in nineteenth-century thought like a fish in water : that is, unable to breathe anywhere else\u201d (262) to Day\u2019s (2005) claim that \u201cMarxist revolutionism and liberal/postmarxist reformism have hit their historical limit\u201d (18), the limitations of Marxist thought have been deeply problematized. However, given that the complexities of contemporary Marxist thought are beyond the scope of this thesis, I am content to simply suggest that when analyzing differential activism and contemporary social movements one need not turn to the political philosophy which has dominated the lens through which we understand political conditions. Instead, as I have argued, one is perhaps best served by looking elsewhere.\n\"a contemporary world of fluid and displaced identities, ceaseless change, and commitments to multiplicity and interconnectivity\"\nA second aspect of the importance of making the connection between Goldman\u2019s anarchism and differential activism is the reinforcement of the political implications of poststructuralist thought. By linking Goldman and differential activism to thinkers and concepts connected to poststructuralist thought, those concepts otherwise perceived as apolitical, unpractical, and purely theoretical are seen for what they are \u2013 ethico-political commitments with the deepest seriousness and political relevance in a contemporary world of fluid and displaced identities, ceaseless change, and commitments to multiplicity and interconnectivity. In doing so, poststructuralism becomes the radical tool that Deleuze wanted it to be. As Deleuze (2004) puts it (paraphrasing Proust), \u201cuse my books he says, like a pair of glasses to view the outside world, and if it isn\u2019t to your liking, find another pair, or invent your own, and your device will necessarily be a device you can fight with\u201d (208). Butler too recognized the political implications of poststructuralist thought. \u201cThe critique of poststructuralism within the cultural Left,\u201d Butler (1990) argues, \u201chas expressed strong skepticism toward the claim that anything progressive can come of its premises\u201d (ix). However, as Butler points out with regard to the deconstruction of sex and gender, this act \u201cis not the destruction of politics,\u201d but rather, the establishment \u201cas political the very terms through which identity is articulated\u201d (189). The question for many in the late 1990\u2019s and early 2000\u2019s was how anything political could come from such sites \u2013 how social movements that did not seek power, reform, representation, or even intelligibility could be studied, understood, or viewed as effective. The question, as Butler (2004) points out, should be, \u201chow can one think politics without considering these sites of unrepresentability ?\u201d (107). What has been of particular interest to me in this thesis is that these unrepresentable sites reach back to nineteenth and early twentieth century anarchist thought (and more specifically to the anarchist thought of Goldman).\nNot surprisingly then, Goldman is at the center of my motivation for writing this thesis. Making sense of differential activism led me to ask whether the currents of transformation had been present elsewhere. In many ways I was confounded by the fact that anarchism was not a major focal point for many of those writing about contemporary activism. Although decentered, non-hierarchical, non-representative, and consensus-based organizing has been a part of anarchist groups for over a century, little has been said about it with regard to differential activism. Similarly surprised by this absence, Graeber (2002) argues that, \u201cmost of the creative energy for radical politics is now coming from anarchism \u2013 a tradition that they [academics] have hitherto mostly dismissed \u2013 and that taking this movement seriously will necessarily also mean a respectful engagement with it\u201d (62). In a work published two years later, Graeber (2004) remained puzzled that despite the fact that \u201canarchism is veritably exploding right now\u201d and that \u201ctraditional anarchist principles [\u2026] have gone from the basis for organizing within the globalization movement, to playing the same role in radical movements of all kinds everywhere [\u2026] all this has found almost no reflection in the academy\u201d (2). The argument that social movement scholarship should take seriously anarchist connections to differential activism is here extended by my suggestion that Goldman\u2019s work is a particularly fruitful source for locating these resonances. I have taken this further, however, by suggesting that even those who have located connections between differential activism and anarchism and/or between poststructuralist thought and anarchism have, to some extent, overlooked the work of Goldman. Goldman\u2019s discussions of self-reflection and self-change, fluidity, diversity, prefigurative politics, and ceaseless change, her questioning of the male/female binary, her commitment to solidarity, shared ethics, and empathy, her rejection of the notion of biological predisposition, and the strong influence of Nietzsche all make her relevant to contemporary political and social movement theory.\nThere are a number of ways to understand the currents that I suggest are present in differential activism. May (2005) uses origami to describe the capacity to take form (political positions and identities) yet remain in motion and flexible ; queer theorist Judith Halberstam (2005) uses the children\u2019s cartoon character Sponge Bob to describe a lack of commitment to fixed, limiting, exclusionary, and ultimately violent notions of masculinity ; and Marcos draws on the stories of a mythical beetle (Don Durito) to explain ceaseless change. In this thesis I have used the work of Goldman to understand the transformative elements in differential activism. As I have shown, for Anzald\u00faa it was the \u2018mestiza consciousness\u2019. For Butler it was \u2018unintelligibility\u2019. For Deleuze it was the \u2018rhizome\u2019. To this we may add, for Goldman, it was \u2018anarchism\u2019.\n[1] Although Saul Newman (2004) is arguably a part of this project, I have not included him for a particular reason. While he briefly recognizes that the \u201ccontemporary anti-globalization struggle is an example of both classical anarchist and poststructuralist politics\u201d (52), he makes it clear that he is uncomfortable with certain poststructuralist disruptions. The suggestion that poststructuralism undoes classical anarchism\u2019s reliance upon a universal subject and rationalist vision of liberation is, for Newman, \u201can important point\u201d about which he is \u201cbecoming increasingly concerned\u201d (50).",

        "raw_content": "Natural Gas vs. Propane Grills\nSummer time means grilling. Steaks. Burgers. Fish. Veggies and more. If you\u2019re thinking about buying a new grill, the first key question is whether you go with the convenience of gas or go old school like dad and grandpa and use charcoal. It is a passionate debate for the ages, and we aren\u2019t going to get into it here.\nRather, we will talk to those of you who prefer gas, and discuss the pros and cons of natural gas vs. propane.\nFirst the arguments for natural gas.\nYou never run out. The direct natural gas line means you have an endless supply of natural gas, making it super convenient. No annoying gas cutoff in the middle of grilling. Of course, this assumes you have a natural gas line to connect to the grill.\nEconomical. Natural gas is cheaper than propane\u2026about 1/6th the cost. Propane tanks in Chicago\u2019s North Shore can run more than $20. If you grill a few times a week or more, it probably makes sense to install a gas line even if it does cost you a little bit to connect (and by the way, please hire a plumber to make the connection; this isn\u2019t a DIY project).\nEco-friendly. Natural gas burns cleaner, even though both natural gas and propane have relatively low carbon dioxide emissions. And since natural gas burns cleaner, natural gas grills can be easier to clean.\nNow propane.\nPortable. You can move the tank anywhere. A grill connected to a natural gas line cannot be moved. And yes, while the propane may run out mid-grill, there is no law that says you can\u2019t have a second tank nearby. You can also buy a grill with a gauge that lets you know when you run low.\nLow upfront costs. While natural gas is less expensive to use, you may have high upfront installation costs. Also, grills that use propane tend to be a little cheaper. So if you only grill a little, this is the way to go.\nHotter. Propane burns hotter. It burns at about 2,500 BTUs, compared to 1,000 BTUs for natural gas grills. Many people feel this results in a superior barbecue experience.\nLess effect on taste. This could be the tie-breaker for true grilling aficionados. The odorant emitted from natural gas could affect the taste.\nNo matter which way you go, check the grill\u2019s warranty and the type of metal from which it is made. A good grill can last several years, so spend a little more for higher quality. Also make sure you cover the grill when you are not using it, especially in the winter.",

All the systems are very old, the pipes under the slab, if they fail, we would have to replace the whole slab and system underneath.\u201d\nCraig said it just doesn\u2019t make sense to pour the $8 million necessary into fixing the problem when they could alternatively twin the G.H. Dawe ice surface. That would cost $36 million between now and 2022, including $2.7 million in 2019 for detailed design and business planning.\n\u201cIce is exceedingly well used. Twinned ice surfaces are excellent for tournaments, which are major generators in terms of bringing revenue into the city,\u201d he added.\nThe question of whether to twin the Dawe now will come up during budget talks on Tuesday.\nOn Monday, however, city council did find $1.7 million in savings, bringing the overall Capital Budget to $114 million.\nSavings were realized in reducing the budgets for three projects, including roadway reconstruction, a fence at the CPR pedestrian bridge, and snow dump base resurfacing.\nThe item which should dominate debate on Tuesday is the long-desired multi-use aquatic centre, which would include a 50 metre pool, and is currently budgeted at just under $111 million.\nInitial planning had been slated to start in 2019, but that portion of the project is proposed to be pushed back until 2023.\nRoy van der Sluis, president of the Red Deer Masters Swim Club and member of the Central Alberta Aquatic Committee, took in the debate on Monday. He says our city is so far behind on swimming infrastructure, \u201cit\u2019s not even funny.\u201d\n\u201cThe architect group they used to create a vision for a new aquatic centre is phenomenal. It\u2019s like the Taj Mahal, it would be fantastic, but it\u2019s $111 million and I think at this time we don\u2019t need to be spending that kind of money. We can easily do a facility, with a 50 metre pool for significantly less that would still meet everybody\u2019s needs,\u201d van der Sluis said to rdnewsNOW at City Hall.\n\u201cI believe it can be done now. It needs to be done now and they need to figure out how to do it now. They\u2019ve known about this for a while. It\u2019s their job and they need to figure out how to get this done. I know it\u2019s a tough balance, but they need to figure it out.\u201d\nVan der Sluis says in the meantime, Red Deerians are missing out.\nBudget debate resumes at City Hall Tuesday at 9 a.m.\nGrant funding uncertainty lingers over 2019 capital budget\nFestival of Trees supporting automated dispensing system at Red Deer Regional\nTrial for alleged gang associate adjourned until next year",

I can see the underlying influence from the likes of Alaisdair MacIntyre, but whilst the negative criticisms of the current system hold water in a broad sense, the positive proscriptions don\u2019t make much sense. The reason for this is your unexamined liberalism which the manifesto betrays. Of course, when I talk of liberalism, I don\u2019t mean classical liberalism, modern liberalism, neoliberalism or any other special political platform comprised of a hodgepodge of sugary sentiment. No. When I talk of liberalism, I mean every political concept that derives from the political structural fallout of the \u201cmodern\u201d world in much the same way as Alaisdair MacIntyre in his usage of \u201cmodern liberal individualism.\u201d We could argue forever if this is a correct word to use, and if it would salve everyone\u2019s anger on a politically charged point, we can adopt a new word for the purpose of this argument, for example we could call it something neutral such as The Political Theory of Individuation (PTI). Now it sounds bland and uninteresting, and doesn\u2019t get people excited.\nNow, I hold to a conception of the events following the 16th century that accord with the political thinker Mencius Moldbug. The underlying principles of this conception are based on the work of Bertrand De Jouvenal. The fundamental premise of this is that the political structures of the western world underwent a number of changes throughout the medieval period which culminated in the collapse of monarchies and the mass individuation of society with the spread of PTI. This process was driven by the deceptively simple concept of imperium in imperio. Monarchs in their attempts to secure and enlarge their power engaged in indirect war against all intermediary structures (the Church, the family, the nobility) which involved a levelling of society. You will find this observation in many accounts of the history of the period, including in the works of Tocqueville.\nThis process of levelling culminated in the collapse of the political order which acknowledged a specific ordering of society in all areas of life, from property to ethics. It is with the utter collapse of the English monarchy for instance that we find the first clear elaborations of the PTI order in the form of Locke and Hobbes. A similar process occurred throughout Europe in those areas in which the Papacy was engaged in conflict with the secular sovereigns, but it is in England that this PTI matured.\nOne benefit of your Marxist position is that if you are well read on Marx you will be familiar with his concept of the base and superstructure, in fact, you mention class conflict in points four, six and seven so I assume you are well versed in it. With this in mind, I will follow MacIntyre\u2019s lead and note that Marxism is of the same type as the much narrower concept of liberalism you repeatedly decry. Marxism is based on PTI, yet it has redeeming features; please let me elaborate.\nNormally you will likely have become used to people from a \u201creactionary\u201d or \u201cright wing\u201d position dismiss Marxism in favor of capitalism, so it may surprise you if I don\u2019t do that at all. I think Marxism is really a version of capitalism. The key point you have to acknowledge is that both Marx and Adam Smith for example, hold the same conception of property, as do all thinkers post 1600s;- this concept is based on PTI. The whole theoretical nexus is based on an anarchist conception of humanity in which the individual occurs from nowhere and is then endowed with powers that come from nowhere. Property is then a matter of mere possession which comes before the state, and obviously needs no state. You will note that all criticisms of Marxism from his supposed opposites on economics, such as the Austrian School, concentrate on technicalities, and never on his position on the origin of property. Maybe they are not actually different on this point, which should be cause for thought.\nThere is another area in which I think we can communicate fruitfully though, and that is on the issue of class struggle. I don\u2019t believe it is correct, but I can see how Marx arrived at it. The key is in the question of what man is and does, and in this De Jouvenel offers a far fuller account which I think you will be able to understand.\nIn Marx\u2019s conception, man is self-interested, and classes act in their specific interests at all time. All subsequent culture, law, norms etc. are nothing but the symptoms of this class conflict. This is an understandable conclusion when one follows the events of history in which Marx lived, but it doesn\u2019t provide a means to predict outcomes, and even by the early 20th century many had realized this, it also assumes a number of things regarding property. His thinking was however in the right area \u2013 there is a base and superstructure of sorts, he just missed the target. In reality, the driver wasn\u2019t class conflict, it was power centers within society engaging in conflict. Why did he miss the target? Because he was working on a conception of society based on PTI. In reality, man is not a presocietal individual with given powers of negotiation and the ability to produce property. Property is post societal and legal in character, and the ability to bargain and exchange is a function of society provided by a political organisation which recognizes the legal status of the act and provides protection. In reality, man is social by nature so Marx\u2019s conception of property based on anarchist principles is false. Man is also not totally self-interested, but instead aims for the good within the context of the role he plays in society as understood by such advocates of virtue as Aquinas and Aristotle. De Jouvenal understood this, and realised those exercising power, likewise, work on a twofold premise of seeking to protect and forward their power as is their role, whilst also doing so on the basis of furthering the good of society, as is also their role. The result is a dynamic in which those in positions of power further the cause of the low in society as a means to undermine other power centers that were a threat. Power has a dual face because it is never mere interests working directly as per Marx.\nThis process of competing power centers is in effect the base of sorts, and the resultant culture it has promoted is the superstructure.\nSo with this basic understanding of my position, we can skip point one, and turn to point two of the manifesto and note that not only did this already fail, but there is clear evidence that in the process of removing the Church\u2019s influence the state level political authorities of the western world expressly promoted heretical movements that culminated in PTI. A superb source on this is provided by the theologian Willaim Cavanaugh in his magisterial book The Myth of Religious Violence in which he quite unawares puts forward the neoabsolutist position with a well researched and definitive demonstration that the 30 years war was not driven by religious differences, but was the result of competing power centers within the Holy Roman Empire. Protestantism which was always promoted and protected by schismatic princes then becomes a secondary effect of this conflict, the superstructure if you will. The resultant PTI theory of the likes of Hobbes using this conflict as an influence is an added bonus. As Cavanaugh notes, the structures of the modern state preceded this conflict, not the other way around. Here we have a clear example of how society being divided among competing conflicting centers of authority led to our current predicament. Merely resetting the clock to a previous unstable arrangement will lead to broadly the same situation as present, but of course with differing colourful heresies all in the same area of course.\nAs for you point three, I wholeheartedly agree, but we have a problem here, as again noted by Alasdair MacIntyre, whom I will quote on the issue of the modern political system from After Virtue:\n\u201c\u201cModern systematic politics, whether liberal, conservative, radical, or socialist, simply has to be rejected from a standpoint that owes genuine allegiance to the tradition of the virtues; for modern politics itself expresses in its institutional forms a systematic rejection of that tradition\u201d\nIf virtue as such is order toward a good, then the current system being divided not only does not acknowledge the virtues, but rejects them aggressively. If all of society is a matter of competing interests as you advocate with workers cooperatives for example, and class warfare in general, you yourself are rejecting the virtues.\nThere is a broad form of society which accords with your aims as outlined in this manifesto, but you have not been allowed to even consider it. The political ordering is one in which all within society is ordered in accordance with a central sovereign who is not bound by any competing power centers in the manner of feudalism, republicanism or socialism. The closest analogy would in effect be monarchism, and it must be noted that it was under monarchism that Christianity arose. A fully secure and competent monarchical organisation, and not a mere bourgeois insecure power sham monarchy as in the case of constitutional monarchy would indeed be able to embrace the virtues and end capitalism as well as the rest of your demands, precisely because capitalism is a matter of anarchist based conceptions of property as mere possession. A true neoabsolutist monarchy would acknowledge that primarily all within the sovereign\u2019s territory is their possession, and subsequent ownership by those in society is property, and that ownership of property would need to be in accordance with the greater good which is now aligned with the sovereigns good.\nSuch a complete political system which acknowledges the fact that the political is always above and over the cultural would also be capable of massive decentralization of authority given the strength of its position. It need not, and will not, fear any completion or need to engage in bizarre behavior to engage in its rightful duties, such as the promotion of bizarre leveling culture or totalitarianism, which is an unsecure power phenomena.\nIn summary, what you are calling for is neoabsolutism. You just don\u2019t realise it yet.\nA test of The Iron Law of Rebellious tools is provided by the events of 1968, especially the events in France. I don\u2019t have a great deal of knowledge on what happened, but what information is readily available stinks pretty badly.\nIn the first instance, we have a national leader aggressively pursuing a course of action in direct defiance of being a USA client state. De Gaulle was doing a number of things including agitating for a gold backed currency and embargoing supplies of weapons to Israel. The US elites appear to have been sick of him. Then we have the arrival of a German-Jewish Anarchist in the form of Daniel Cohn-Bendit causing trouble in Nanterre.\nWhat is interesting about this whole dynamic is that it appears to me that Cohn was a CIA asset along with his colleague Rudi Dutschke. I am having trouble confirming this, or finding strong evidence due to language barriers, but what little there is available smells rotten. There is a fairly famous CIA report entitled \u201cRestless Youth\u201d which has repeated mention of Cohn in terms which seem overly familiar, and there is a frustrating strategic redaction before his name on this short version of the report which seems to be overly familiar with Cohn\u2019s contacts (hint, hint.) In this longer version of the report, he is mentioned on page 60, page 126, page 180 and page 181, but the report is hard to read as the pages are mixed up.\nThere appears to have been a lot of suspicion of CIA involvement, and based on the full spectrum dominance of the CIA on European intellectual society, the idea he wasn\u2019t under the control of the CIA is not very plausible given the direction of his agitation.\nCohn\u2019s subsequent illustrious career despite his obscene behavior which included opening an anti-authoritarian kindergarten which seems to have been an excuse to rape children, is very much in line with him having links high up, and with being an agent provocateur. Of course, he now claims his admission of raping a six year old (being seduced, sorry) was embellishment.\nFrom a position of absolutism, we can discard conspiracy theories and cut to the chase \u2013 all agitation and revolutions that are successful are sponsored by power actors. Who was the power actor behind Cohn directly, or indirectly? This would be the US elites, and especially US secret services. It was not the KGB or the Soviets in general. In fact the Soviet linked groups appear to have been in conflict with Cohn-Bendit and the \u201cnew left\u201d which was a US created thing (as were the Soviets.) The great tragedy of the whole thing which is still continuing is the great success of the US institutions in pinning every piece of total degeneracy of the Soviet Communists. De Gaulle took the bait and blamed the communists, which is not surprising. Think of this as comparable to the McCarthy mistake of taking progressives as being manipulated by external enemies in the form of the Soviets. No, mon frere, this shitshow we call liberalism is no different to communism at root and the infection went from England/ USA to Russia, not the other way around- get it right. Face the disgusting truth squarely and repent.\nSo we see that not only were the Soviets not behind Cohn, but he was acting to isolate them. Given the Soviets were actually keen on De Gaulle according to their records, and the CIA and American elites were not, one only has to do the math. Of course, in the longer report from the CIA I linked above, we see a kind of admission that agent provocateurs such as Cohn are used to cause trouble on p228. It even claims that some of the agitators in 1968 were funded by Maoists, but were unable to play a directing role \u2026unlike Cohn\u2026do I need to say it again? Recent events in the Ukrain, Georgia, and everywhere we are able to see the revolutions in real time should make it clear.\nAlan Sorel seems to have made this link as well, and appears to have noted that shitty French intellectual culture was birthed by power politics. He is right, but he hasn\u2019t realized how right he is. The new left and post 1940s French culture is about as French as I am, it just pure anglo-progressivism bullshit. The American infected them with AIDs pretty badly.\nBut if culture is dictated by power politics and conflict, then the entire system determines the culture within it. So Sorel has a long way to go.\nI finally got around to reading the report Dodd submitted to the Reece Committee in 1954, only to find to my surprise that it was a mere 16 pages long. On top of this, the report is clear, concise and very significant. It has left me scratching my head as to whether Dodd had read Gaither\u2019s report from 1949.\nStarting with the definitions put forward by Dodd:\nThese studies also enabled me to settle upon the following definitions:\nFoundations-Those organizations resulting from the capitalization of the desire on the part of an individual, or a group of individuals, to divert his or their wealth from private use to public purpose .\nUn-American and Subversive -Any action having as its purpose the alteration of either the principle or the form of the United States Government by other than constitutional means . (This definition is derived from a study of this subject made by the Brookings Institute at the request of the House Un-American Activities Committee .)\nPolitical -Any action favoring either a candidacy for public office, or legislation or attitudes normally expected to lead to legislative action.\nPropaganda -Action having as its purpose the spread of a particular doctrine or a specifically identifiable system of principles. (In use this word has come to infer half-truths, incomplete truths, as well as techniques of a covert nature .\nI think we know where this is going. Dodd then begins the salvo:\nFOUNDATION CRITICISMS .\nOur studies indicated very clearly how and why a critical attitude could have developed from the assumption that Foundations operating within the sphere of education had been guilty of favoritism in making their grants. After having analyzed responses relating to this subject from nearly 1,000 colleges in the United States, it became evident that only a few have participated in the grants made.\nHowever, when the uniqueness of the projects supported by Foundations was considered, it became understandable why institutions such as Columbia, Harvard, Chicago and the University of California had received monies in amounts far greater than had been distributed to others . Originally, scholars capable of handling these unique subjects were few . Most of them were members of these seemingly favored institutions .\nNow that these subjects no longer appear to be regarded as unique and sufficient time has elapsed within which to train such competent specialists, the tendency of Foundations to distribute grants over a wider area has become noticeable .\nThe purported deterioration in scholarship and in the techniques of teaching which, lately, has attracted the attention of the American public, has apparently been caused primarily by a premature effort to reduce our meagre knowledge of social phenomena to the level of an applied science .\nConfronted with the foregoing seemingly justifiable conclusions and with the task of assisting the Committee to discharge its duties as set forth in H. Res. 217, within the seventeen month period, August 1, 1953-December 31, 1954, it became obvious to me that it would be impossible to perform his task if the staff were to concentrate on the internal practices and the grant-making policies of Foundations themselves . It also became obvious that if the staff was to render the service for which it had been assembled, it must expose those factors which were common to all Foundations, and reduce them to terms which would permit their effects to be compared with the purposes set forth in Foundation charters, the principles and the form of the United States Government, and the means provided by the Constitution for altering either these principles or this form.\nIn addition, these common factors would have to be expressed in terms which would permit a comparison of their effects with the activities and interests connoted by the word \u201cpolitical\u201d, and also with those ordinarily meant by the word \u201cpropaganda\u201d.\nOur effort to expose these common factors revealed only one, namely\u2013\u201cthe public interest\u201d . It further revealed that if this finding were to prove useful to the Committee, it would be necessary to define \u201cthe public interest\u201d . We believe this would be found in the principles and form of the Federal Government, as expressed in our Constitution and in our other basic founding documents.\nThis will explain why subsequent studies were made by the staff of the size, scope, form and functions of the Federal Government for the period 1903-1953, the results of which are set forth in detail in a report by Thomas M . McNiece, Assistant Research Director, entitled, The Economics of the Public Interest.\nThese original studies of \u201cthe public interest\u201d disclosed that during the four years, 1933-1936, a change took place which was so drastic as to constitute a \u201crevolution\u201d . They also indicated conclusively that the responsibility for the economic welfare of the American people had been transferred heavily to the Executive Branch of -the Federal Government ; that a corresponding change in education had taken place from an impetus of of the local community, and that this \u201crevolution\u201d had occurred without violence and with the full consent of an overwhelming majority of the electorate .\nIn seeking to explain this unprecedented phenomenon, subsequent studies pursued by the staff clearly showed it could not have occurred peacefully, or with the consent of the majority, unless education in the United States had been prepared in advance to endorse it.\nThese findings appeared to justify two postulates :\nthat the policies and practices of institutions purporting or obliged by statute to serve \u201cthe public interest\u201d would reflect this phenomenon, and\nthat Foundations whose trustees were empowered to make grants for educational purposes would be no exception, on the basis of which, after consultation with Counsel, I directed the staff to explore Foundation practices, educational procedures, and the operations of the Executive branch of the Federal Government since 1903 for reasonable evidence of a purposeful relationship between them .\nIts ensuing studies disclosed such a relationship and that it had existed continuously since the beginning of this 50-year period . In addition, these studies seem to give evidence of a response to our involvement in international affairs . Likewise, they seemed to re- veal that grants had been made by Foundations (chiefly by Carnegie and Rockefeller) which were used to further this purpose by :\nDirecting education in the United States toward an international viewpoint and discrediting the traditions to which it [formerly) had been dedicated.*\nTraining individuals and servicing agencies to render advice to the Executive branch of the Federal Government.\nDecreasing the dependency of education upon the resources of the local community and freeing it from many of the natural safeguards inherent in this American tradition .\nChanging both school and college curricula to the point where they sometimes denied the principles underlying the American way of life.\nFinancing experiments designed to determine the most effective means by which education could be pressed into service of a political nature .\nTo insure these determinations being made on the basis of impersonal facts, I directed the staff to make a study of the development of American education since the turn of the century and of the trends in techniques of teaching and of the development of curricula since that time. As a result, it became quite evident that this study would have to enlarge to include accessory agencies to which these developments and trends had been traced.\nThe work of the staff was then expanded to include an investigation of such agencies as: The American Council of Learned Societies, the National Research Council, the Social Science Research Council, the American Council on Education, the National Education Association, the League for Industrial Democracy, the Progressive Education Association, the American Historical Association, John Dewey Society, and the Anti-Defamation league.\nAt this point let us cut into this paranoid screed, and present some of the Ford Foundation report from Gaither:\nPolicy and Public Understanding\nOur Government and the United Nations cannot effectively formulate or execute policy in international affairs without public understanding and support. While in some instances such understanding and support are automatically shaped by events, or created by the President, the State Department, or Congress, in numerous situations independent aid can be of significant supplemental value. This is particularly true where policy is initiated by the executive but is subject to later Congressional action, either in the form of appropriations or ratification.\nObvious limitations surround executive efforts to achieve wide public understanding of policies requiring legislative approval. Furthermore, official policy will generally be the better as a result of criticism by responsible and objective private groups and institutions and, when adjudged\nsound by them, such policy will have a better chance of public support.\nIndependent and nonpartisan efforts to secure the relevant facts and judgments and to make them widely available to officials, to interested groups, to the press, and to the electorate at large can thus render important assistance. This does not imply that a foundation should sponsor or support activities designed to propagandize the views of the State Department or any other agency or group. Quite the contrary, it must at all times preserve impartiality and objectivity in its activities, and if the results of undeniably expert and objective analyses are contrary to or critical of existing policy, their wide dissemination is perhaps even more important.\nFoundation success in this field may at times require activities in public education long in advance of official policy formulation. In fact, a foundation can make a most significant contribution by anticipating critical issues and by stimulating awareness and understanding of them in advance of governmental action. Government is greatly hampered when public understanding lags behind the realistic requirements of international policy formulation.\nFurther discussion of agencies or mechanisms whereby such aids to policy makers and to the public understanding of policy might be provided is contained in Program Area Two and in Chapter IV.\nGot that? It is not propagandizing, it is merely anticipating change and informing the public as an independent institution. Back to Dodd:\nThe broad study which called our attention to the activities of these organizations has revealed pot only their support by foundations but has disclosed a degree of cooperation between them which they have referred to as \u201can interlock\u201d, thus indicating a concentration of influence and power By this phrase they indicate they are bound by a common interest rather than a dependency upon a single source for capital funds. It is difficult to study their relation without confirming this. Likewise, it is difficult to avoid the feeling that their common interest has led them to cooperate closely with one another and that this common interest lies in the planning and control of certain aspects of American life through a combination of the Federal Government and education.\nThis may explain why the Foundations have played such an active role in the promotion of the social sciences, why they have favored so strongly the employment of social scientists by the Federal Government and why they seem to have used their influence to transform education into an instrument for social change .\nFinally, I suggest that the Committee give special consideration to the Ford Foundation . This Foundation gives ample evidence of having taken the initiative in selecting purposes of its own . Being of recent origin, it should not be held responsible for the actions or accomplishments of any of its predecessors . It is without precedent as to size, and it is the first Foundation to dedicate itself openly to \u201cproblem solving\u201d on a world scale.\nIn a sense, Ford appears to be capitalizing on developments which took place long before it was founded, and which have enabled it to take advantage of:\nthe wholesale dedication of education to a social purpose\nthe need to defend this dedication against criticism\nthe need to indoctrinate adults along these lines\nthe acceptance by the Executive branch of the Federal Government of responsibility for planning on a national and international scale\nthe diminishing importance of the Congress and the states and the growing power of the Executive branch of the Federal government-and \u2013\nthe seeming indispensability of control over human behaviour.\nAs if they had been influenced directly by these developments, .Vie trustees established separate funds for use in the fields of education, national planning, and politics. They set up a division devoted to the Behavioral Sciences, which includes a Center for Advanced Study, a program of Research and Training Abroad, an Institutional Exchange Program, and miscellaneous grants-in-aid .\nIt seems incredible that the trustees of typically American fortune created foundations should have permitted them to be used to finance ideas and practices incompatible with the fundamental concepts of our Constitution . Yet there seems evidence that this may have occurred.\u201d\nThe common root of all modern political discourse\nIt occurred to me that in effect, all current allowable political positions could be plotted quite clearly along the following lines:\nThe green line is the basic root of all of them, with the red lines representing serious cases of heresy. I am fairly familiar with the Italian fascist heresy of rejecting the liberal conception of the individual as being prior to society based on a strange form of idealism, not so much on the Nazi approach.\nAs can be seen in the diagram, all of them (with the previous exceptions) take for granted that the individual is prior to society. The difference between all of them being their varying understanding of this central key point.\nBut what if we add the following link:\nThen we have an interesting idea. If the rise of the modern state apparatus acted to create these \u201canterior to society\u201d individuals, then their continuation is logically dependent on the continuation of the modern state. They are functionally inseparable.\nLiberal premises? or De Jouvenal derived premises? They cannot co-exist.\nAre we all fascists?\nDefine fascism. Better yet, don\u2019t bother. The aim of this is to re-assert a conception of individualism that is at the core of liberalism and blame any deviation from it for the ills of society. A protest from the left as it were.\nFrom the Absolutist position, which the only one derived from Moldbug with any coherency and sense, it becomes obvious this analysis and the complaints it contain are the result of severe confusion. No doubt neoreactionaries will love it, being entryists for this same liberal conception.\nAt heart, De Jouvenel is the moter behind the theory. He supplies solid ground from which clear principles can be formulated. One of which is the structural nature of the left and right which neoreactionaries/entryists abuse with a vegence. Killing the De Jouvenal theory to allow your own pointless weak tea liberal view is the goal, whether consciously or not.\nWhat is worse about the De Jouvenal theory is that it points directly at the system being king over all. This presents serious problems, so neoreaction/liberal entryism (synonymous terms) cannot abide this.\nAn example of the problems this creates is supplied by considering the development of the state and the issue of the individual. De Jouvenal points directly to the state coming first and creating the \u201cindividual\u201d as understood by liberal (and all modern) theories. In fact, taking this to its conclusion, it would seem obvious the individual and the modern state are tied together, the first creating the second. The individual of anarcho-capitalism, liberalism etc. as a state created being simply does not exist as a given, but is removed from local bonds, educated and kept \u201cinformed\u201d by the state to become an individual. Land like all liberals takes this individul as natural thing, a given, and then wants to do away with the state, or automate it as if it would just be a neutral entity. This is the same error Hobbes made long ago based on a fantasy narrative of history.\nAt least Land is aware of this issue and asserts it clearly. The rest of neoreaction neither understands, nor is likely to understand the issue.\nLooking at Land\u2019s article, he is clearly asserting liberalism, with all of liberalism\u2019s assumption and working his theory based on them. No De Jouvenal, and therfore no Moldbug in sight. Pure neoreaction, which is to say, pure entryism.\nIf neoreactionaries don\u2019t understand what is going on now, they never will.\nThe Cathedral enforces anarcho-capitalism\nIf pressed to offer one key document that could be read to explain the 20th century, I think the Gaither report for the Ford Foundation would be the best bet.\nGaither was fairly influential and central to governance in the 1940-50s until his death from lung cancer in 1961. He was not only involved in the foundation of the Rand Corporation, but also president of the Ford Foundation and author of another report referred to as the Gaither report. The other report was Deterrence & Survival in the Nuclear Age which he produced as part of the President\u2019s Science Advisory committee which was influential to say the least.\nThe Ford Foundation Gaither report was conducted after great consultation with government actors and academic experts and presents an outline of the intellectual and cultural state of affairs at the very top of the Cathedral at that time. It is also a justification document for the evangelical exporting of American liberalism using the wealth of Ford (greater that the UN\u2019s budget by some distance at the time.) What comes through is a kind of weird state enforced anarcho-capitalism par excellence. Take the following excerpt from p47 as an example:\n\u201cHe [the citizen] must choose between two opposed course. One is democratic, dedicated to the freedom and dignity of the individual, as an end in himself. The other, the antithesis of democracy, is authoritarianism, wherein freedom and justice do not exist, and human rights and truth are wholly subordinated to the state.\u201d\nThe mental jusjitsu in which the \u201cindividual\u201d of the liberal conception, which is created by the democratic state, is not de facto subordinated to the state cuts right to the core of the democratic experiment. De jouvenal has much to say on this.\nBack to the anarcho-capitalist chops of the exert, the phrase \u201can end in himself\u201d is about as anarcho-capitalist as it gets, which is a puzzle, until you realize that anarcho-capitalism is just basic liberalism with a hardcore delusional denial as to the source of the individual and the need of a powerful central actor to create individuals that operate on the anarcho-capitalist model. Is the individual posterior or anterior to society? The issue arises in this very same report and is clearly asserted as anterior by default on p46 with the pitch perfect repetition of the underlying mechanics of liberalism:\n\u201cDemocracy accepts the fact of conflicting interests and even encourages the positive expressions of divergent views, aims, and values. Democracy theory assumes, however, that conflicts can be resolved or accommodated by nonviolent means, and that discrimination and hostility between various groups on the basis of race, national origin, or religion can be kept below the point where basic well-being of society is threatened.\u201d\nThis is pure Locke, and pure Hobbes, with the implicit insistence that individuals are anterior to society and that their \u201cviews, aims, and values\u201d are external expressions or internal developments. This is the grounding of anarcho-capitalism, and this is exactly what Alaisdair MacIntyre has been criticising so vehemently. This state of affairs is created by power.\nWhen we get to \u201ceconomic democracy\u201d we can again see this state enforced anarcho-capitalism on display as the report states on p37:\n\u201ceconomic democracy is realized through a fluid and mobile social structure which permits maximum individual freedom of choice and action. This requires practical equality of opportunity for all individuals to pursue the vocation of profession of their choice, to change jobs, to move from place to place, and to advance in their chosen career according to their capabilities.\u201d\nWhereas the self-proclaimed anarcho-capitalist has drunk deeply of the cool aid and convinced himself of the possibility of non-state enforced individualism anarchism, the progressive in the form of Gaither is under no illusion that this state of affairs must be enforced.\nWith this in mind, the funding received by libertarians from the likes of the Rockefeller Foundation is not at all confusing, neither is the tolerance for anarchist groups protesting outside of Davos meetings and all the other seeming leniency provided to those advocating full \u201canarchtopia now! Death to statism!\u201d All groups share the exact same assumptions, which is best expressed by the reports comments on what it defines human welfare as:\n\u201cBasic to human welfare is the idea of the dignity of man- the conviction that man must be regarded as an end in himself, not as a mere cog in the mechanisms of society.\u201d P17\nThere is that \u201cend in himself\u201d phrase again, and further:\n\u201cThe committee\u2019s conception of human welfare is stated in chapter one, as will be seen, it is largely synonymous with a declaration of democratic ideals.\u201dp12\nWant to know what would happen if anarcho-capitalism was enforced on the world? then wonder no more, you are living it.",

Many of these attempts to understand the specificity of Japanese modernity operated from an ahistorical conception of social relations in the countryside that neglected the vast transformations these sites underwent through processes of enclosure and dispossession that the state enacted after 1868. Yaeyama, an island chain under the jurisdiction of Okinawa prefecture, was celebrated by ethnologists and folklorists during this time as a treasure trove of Japanese culture. This essay traces the relationship between the valorization of Yaeyama arts in the interwar period and the organization of a small group of poets, teachers, and activists who formulated radical visions that challenged these ossified representations of the region and its people.\nYaeyama, Okinawa, ethnology, poetics, capitalism",

        "raw_content": "The FEC Rules In Favor Of Bloggers\nThe Federal Elections Commission issued a major ruling in favor of the people yesterday in the matter of how blogs are treated in their relationship to campaigns. Ruling on a complaint file against Kos Media LLC and Markos Moulitsas Zuniga. Make no mistake about it, I think Zuniga is detestable little twit and a stone cold fabulist , that most of those who comment on his site are only little different to one side or the other of that Bell Curve and I don\u2019t think political discourse in this country would suffer one whit if he went away tonight. Despite it\u2019s reputation as something of an online Tourette\u2019s convention, it should not be regulated by the federal government. Or any government.\nFrom the decision:\nIn Matter Under Review (MUR) 5928, the Commission determined that Kos Media, L.L.C., which operates the website DailyKos, did not violate the Federal Election Campaign Act. The Commission rejected allegations that the site should be regulated as a political committee because it charges a fee to place advertising on its website and it provides \u201ca gift of free advertising and candidate media services\u201d by posting blog entries that support candidates. The Commission determined that the website falls squarely within the media exemption and is therefore not subject to federal regulation under the Act.\nSince 1974, media activity has been explicitly exempted from federal campaign finance regulation. In March 2006, the Commission made clear that this exemption extends to online media publications and that \u201ccosts incurred in covering or carrying a news story, commentary, or editorial by any broadcasting station. . . , Web site, newspaper, magazine, or other periodical publication, including any Internet or electronic publication,\u201d are not a contribution or expenditure unless the facility is owned by a political party, committee, or candidate. With respect to MUR 5928, the FEC found that Kos Media meets the definition of a media entity and that the activity described in the complaint falls within the media exemption. Thus, activity on the DailyKos website does not constitute a contribution or expenditure that would trigger political committee status. The Commission therefore found no reason to believe Kos Media, DailyKos.com, or Markos Moulitsas Zuniga violated federal campaign finance law.\nHad the FEC ruled against Kos Media the ability of bloggers to advocate for or against candidates would have been severely curtailed and many, if not most, of us would simply be unable to comply with the regulatory filings.\nAA GOP Central Committee: Words Can't Even Describe It",

Quite simply, rental agents should keep track of what they actually do.\nEvery agent should track basic actions such as the number of new prospects they work, the number of properties they show, their total number of appointments, the percentage of people they take out more than once, and of course the number of closed transactions. This data must be recorded so that performance can be analyzed, and of course, it is a fundamental principle of good business. I believe that anything that can be measured can be improved.\n\u201cClosing Ratio\u201d can be defined as \u201cClosed Transactions divided by Prospects Worked.\u201d For example: 20 transactions divided by 100 prospects equals a 20% \u201cClosing Ratio\u201d whereas 35 deals divided by 100 prospects equals a 35% success rate. Agents that have the discipline to track their closing ratio will also work to improve the number. It is not unusual for me to sit with an agent that is closing 10% of their prospects or one deal per every ten people. If I can make the agent aware of their \u201cClosing Ratio\u201d and get them to start \u201ctracking\u201d what they are doing, their performance will almost always immediately start to improve.\nIn this series, I am going to give you many tips on improving \u201cClosing Ratio.\u201d The first tip is obvious: \u201cKeep Score!\u201d By keeping track of the number of deals you do out of the total number of people that you work with your success percentage or \u201cClosing Ratio\u201d will begin to improve. \u201cTracking\u201d or recording the number of people that you actually take out and show property to is vital. I can\u2019t tell you how many times I have sat with an agent and asked \u201cHow many people did you take out last month?\u201d and the answer is \u201cI don\u2019t know\u201d or \u201cNot enough.\u201d\n2017-04-04T02:39:48+00:00By REEDC Admin|Categories: Rentals, Tips and Tricks|Tags: analyze performance, improve real estate business, Starting a Real Estate Business, Successful Real Estate in New York, The G$ System: Maximizing Your Rental Business, Tips|Comments Off on The G$ System: Maximizing Your Rental Business\u2013 Part 1: \u201cTracking Performance\u201d",

        "raw_content": "> Why you shouldn\u2019t feel pressured into going to university\nAlex Bates / 19.07.2018\nWhy you shouldn\u2019t feel pressured into going to university\nWhen I was in school the only thing that was drilled in to me by my Parents and school was that I was going to university. That wasn\u2019t my choice, that was a choice that was made based on my grades and them deciding it was the best option.\nSo I went to university. Did I finish? No I didn\u2019t and it\u2019s one of the best decisions I ever made.\nAfter getting all offers, I went to Cardiff and don\u2019t get me wrong, it was an incredible experience, but it didn\u2019t take long for me to realise that I didn\u2019t want to be there. I was doing a Business Management degree and the only module I was passionate about was Marketing. I kept thinking to myself, if I wanted to do politics, I would\u2019ve taken it!\nI continued to go about normal university life, but meanwhile I watched my cousin complete a Maths degree but go on to earn more money at TGI Fridays than any graduate job being offered to him. I then looked back at the friends I had back home who had decided not to go to university earning money and moving out and it made me realise that that was what I\u2019d prefer doing. I wanted to be working rather than working my way into debt doing a degree I wasn\u2019t 100% sure on, and I think that\u2019s a huge decision for someone to have to make.\nBy 18 you\u2019re expected to know the career path you want to take and choose a degree to help you get there. After being there for the first term I couldn\u2019t see myself continuing with the majority of modules and working myself into close to \u00a350K worth of debt to then enter an incredibly competitive market for jobs.\nIt would be wrong for me not to mention that some of my friends have gone on to utilise their degrees fully, but the pressure on going to university is too much and I think it\u2019s important not to forget that there ARE other options.\nThinking about all this, I conducted an internal survey with colleagues at work on going to university and found some interesting results; 79% of all people who replied had gone to university, studying things from Marketing and Advertising all the way through to French and Spanish. The remaining had either chosen not to go to university or had dropped out. Of those that went and stayed at university, 63% of people\u2019s first jobs were related to the degree that they had studied which I personally think is good. However, this does drop down to only 50% of people with degrees who are now working in their chosen field. In 2015-16 there were just over 1.8 million students in England so that\u2019s a fair few who aren\u2019t using their degrees.\nI completed the first year, passed all my exams (even going back to re-sit one), before making the final decision that I would leave university. Throughout the year I had been discussing it with a friend who was trying to make a similar decision who then stayed. He\u2019s now completed a four year course and now lives in Cardiff, so it\u2019s not always a bad choice!\nAfter I came back home I got a job working at Centre Parcs for 10 months and while there were some great people there, I was still trying to break into Marketing. I had sent out over 100 letters to different companies and got a whopping 4 replies, all rejections.\nI finally got news of an apprenticeship at Relish so went for it and since getting the job in March 2015, leaving university has, for me, been the best decision I have made. I passed the apprenticeship just over a year later and have since been working in an awesome team with some fantastic clients enjoying what I do on a daily basis.\nI love my job 99% of the time and even when it\u2019s going wrong, it just gives you the opportunity to showcase your ability and find solutions to problems. It\u2019s very rare that I hate my job, even on long days travelling up and down the country or with stressful clients \u2013 the people I work with make it bearable!\nSince working at Relish, I\u2019ve not only developed skills that I knew I had, but I\u2019ve picked up numerous others and learnt things I never thought I would. These skills range from being better at Excel, to being more confident presenting; all skills which I wouldn\u2019t have developed had I not chosen this career path.\nI now also work with forecasting numbers, client management and more of the selling side, so a lot of new skills to learn and develop in not a long time.\nIt\u2019s such a different environment from any I\u2019d previously worked in (properly, outside of work experience) so it was a big step and it seemed to move very quickly! In the space of 3 years I\u2019ve gone from an apprenticeship with near enough no experience to a Senior Campaign Strategist. From here, I\u2019m looking at any future progression opportunities within the team and ways of broadening my skill set to make me as rounded as possible. There is a lot of competition within the industry so I\u2019m always looking for ways to better myself and make the team do well.\nI know that university is a great place and I did learn a lot of independence from going, however getting my apprenticeship was the gateway in to what I want to do and I\u2019m only in a third of the debt!",

        "raw_content": "U.S. Germ Attack\nSimulation a Disaster\nNEW YORK (Reuters) - Despite an enormous federal effort to prepare for a biological terrorist attack, a pretend germ warfare attack last month showed the government is unprepared to deal with such a crisis, the New York Times reported Sunday.\nThe secret drill simulated a small pox hybrid virus that was dropped along the Mexican-American border. Officials who participated in the drill soon found themselves arguing as they were overwhelmed by a panicked population, short of the right antibiotics and vaccines, hampered by antiquated quarantine laws and unable to get trained, immunized medical staff to the area, the Times said.\nOfficials said the drill was part of an ongoing effort by President Clinton to increase the U.S. readiness to deal with a terrorist attack.\nThe Times said that Clinton has developed a great personal interest in the possibility of a biological attack and even had his staff investigate the credibility of \"The Cobra Event,\" a book about a terrorist attack on New York City which particularly alarmed him.\nOn April 10, just after working through most of the night on the Irish peace accord, Clinton met with a panel of experts he had convened to brief him on biological weapons. He also asked them to prepare a report suggesting ways the government could be better prepared to detect and deter a biological attack, the Times said.\nThe report, expected to be submitted this week, suggests stockpiling antidotes, vaccines and antibiotics and setting up mechanisms to make large quantities in a hurry, the Times reported. The experts also recommended strengthening the public health sector and streamlining the government processes for detecting and managing a biological crises, the Times said.\nExperts widely disagreed on the likelihood of such an attack, the Times said.\nIn 1995 Clinton signed a Presidential Decision Directive that said the United States has \"no higher priority\" than stopping terrorists from acquiring weapons of mass destruction, the Times said.\nThis week Clinton is expected to sign two new directives that provide a sweeping plan for dealing with chemical, biological or computer-related weapons, the Times said.\nThe directives had created a fight in the administration with the Defense and Justice Departments objecting to the creation a powerful anti-terrorist government agency, the Times said. The current directives create a \"national coordinator\" with limited staff and no direct budget but the wide-ranging powers to handle government disputes and initiate action, the Times said.\nRichard Clarke, now Clinton's special assistant for global affairs, is expected to become the first national coordinator, the Times said.",

Further, companies have become leaner in recent years, thus some of the major producers \u2013 such as Pan American Silver Corp.

        "raw_content": "Posted by lrmagnussen on April 26, 2017 July 3, 2018\nI was sitting in The Diner in Adams Morgan on a rainy morning, where a slight tinge of southern humidity made the dreariness cozy. Drinking tea out of a silver pot and reading one of D.C.\u2019s great hallmarks (the local neighborhood newspaper), the cover story of the Washington City Paper caught my eye:\nI had just passed the iconic Mama Ayesha\u2019s Restaurant Presidential Mural near the Duke Ellington Bridge, which is painted on a brick wall of the restaurant\u2019s side facade, so our city\u2019s street art was already on my mind when I saw the paper\u2019s main story. There is something refreshing about its simplicity and its lack of partisanship: the modern presidents, no matter their party, surround Ayesha Abraham (the restaurant\u2019s founder) with idealized district iconography in the background. It\u2019s about unity and community, and the statement is appealing to the general public. It\u2019s a lovely spot to visit. Intriguingly, President Trump is not currently being considered for inclusion on the mural, which is quite a statement given the fact that even Nixon made the cut for the mural. The restaurant told Washingtonian that there isn\u2019t enough money in the budget to add President Trump, and that there is no partisan reason for his exclusion. I\u2019ll monitor this story and update as the occasion arises.\nBut not all street art is as integrated into the city as Karlisima\u2019s mural dedicated to inclusion. It\u2019s the destruction of lesser known pieces that prompted the Washington City Paper to run a beautifully in-depth piece about the beleaguered state of murals in the city.\nIn \u201cMural Decay,\u201d journalist Patrick Fork tackles the endless struggle between artistry and functionality, especially when it comes to the literal aspects of street art: location and space. Growing gentrification entrenches on alleyways and open spaces for murals, new and rapid development razes areas where street art thrives, and deconstruction and tearing down old developments eliminates art from the landscape altogether. The article is about the quest to save this art form, and I feel this fervently as I see all the colors as I walk around these diverse, special, memorable neighborhoods.\nI feel the outlook is a little bit grim when it comes to the views of our current Administration, which has been more than eager to talk about their willingness to cut funding to humanities and arts endowments. We\u2019ve heard these threats before, and culture fights back, but in such an unpredictable environment that we now live, it\u2019s hard to get cheery about the prospects of how the local art scene can continue to thrive without money and in an area that is expanding very, very quickly. There are so many good things to be said about D.C.\u2019s extensive infrastructural projects (the Wharf is a good example), but there are always downsides, and the lack of areas for murals is a side effect of revamping the city. Now more than ever, we need art on our walls and in our gardens and on the sidewalks and street corners. We don\u2019t necessarily need a lot of money to express our feelings about the political situation, but we do need the exposure.\nKeep D.C. colorful \u2013 in all aspects of that word.\nYesterday, me and my best friend went to the iconic institution of literary culture in D.C. \u2013 Politics and Prose. Around what for seems like forever, the bookstore is a staple of every book tour for every significant person you can think of: legends of fiction (literally anyone you can name has spoken there), forward-thinking journalists like Rachel and Masha Gessen), as well as celebrities, presidents, and local writers. It lives in a little neighborhood that belies its significance in our city\u2019s literary landscape. In the back of the store, this mural surprises and delights with its whimsy:\nThere is something typical in its modernist view of the pastoral scene that comes with many children\u2019s books, but the colors (greys, off-yellows) and depiction of animal life with less quirkiness and more of an adult eye really brings depth to this pop on a concrete wall. Our street art always feels special and unexpected, to me at least. (The Lorax is represented to the far left of the mural in the first photo.)\nAlso! Please support your local/neighborhood/regional/state papers! We need them to work through the wreckage that is our current political mess. We can\u2019t do it without them. You can find free issues in many cities and towns, but you\u2019ll have to subscribe to some to keep investigative reporting and meaningful cultural stories in our lives.\nPrevious Post Letter 63 (and Earth Day!)\nThis was a great addition! Loved it!",

Their new short movie called \u2018Uncanny Valley\u2019 \u2013 directed by Federico Heller \u2013 has received a lot of praise for its storyline, visuals, and how it presents itself from the beginning till the end.\nBasically it is about VR gamers who have been inside the virtual reality for so long, they cannot notice the difference between fantasy and reality. Entering the VR world has become so compelling that life outside seems dull, boring, and impossible for those who want to express their real self. However, in that storyline, one of the \u201cVeeRerrerr\u2019s\u201d managed to break the matrix, waking up to a really horrific scenery. Even though I do not really agree with \u201cthat\u201d side of danger that VR can present, it was fantastically executed, leaving me wanting more.

The main character, whoever you are, will be jumping from location to location, witnessing different scenarios of life. In some environments you will be able to move, in some you are just a witness, other times you just pass through as things happen around you.\nYou start in a block where you have to look at some spheres on each side of the walls. By doing so you\u2019ll unlock a passage to the tunnel (Divergent style). By looking back you will fall into space, which awfully reminded me of interstellars worm hole. But this time, you will be slowly progressing towards a little tiny planet that is centered in front of you. As you land on that habitable piece of land, a beautiful scenery opens to you. If you move further ahead, the environment will change, and you can experience winter, autumn, summer, day and night.\nThis little globe was like a Little Big Planet. It\u2019s round, and colors are extremely vibrant and everything around you is beautiful. As I moved towards the lightning, I noticed that water levels were rising. I was searching for a higher location, but still managed to drown myself (as I stubbornly moved towards the flood). In water, however, there is a whole other world. Seaweeds will be around you, fish swim in your face (literally, don\u2019t know why), and whales will be passing by you, making the same noises as Dory from \u201cFinding Nemo\u201d.\nAlthough the game itself is quite short, it delivers quite an awesome experience. On top of all that, you will see a sneak peek to future content. Surprisingly enough, it will last almost as long as the main game itself, and is as interesting also. You are going to be playing as a mouse watching people pass by, seeing elephants rushing towards you, parachute jumping into a location that truly reminds me of Sin City, and much more.\nThroughout all this I had quite a stable FPS, so no there were no problems with scene changes. The game ends smoothly followed by a heavy breathing during the end credits, which was like an Adr1ft trailer all over again.\nShadows of Isolation received high ratings, and rightfully so. It is an abstract, beautiful and a vibrant game which leaves you wanting more.\nShadow of Isolation Trailer",

        "raw_content": "Big Brother vs. Little Sisters\n28 Feb, 2014 by\tDavid Limbaugh\nWhy aren\u2019t more people outraged over the Obama administration\u2019s war on religious liberty?\nThe administration insists on coercing full compliance with the Obamacare mandates, even when 99.9 percent compliance would fully serve its purposes, and chooses to impose its iron will even against American citizens\u2019 God-given and constitutionally and statutorily protected religious freedoms.\\\nDespite straight-facedly promising that he would protect the religious liberties of people and groups and would not violate their conscience rights by forcing them to provide or support contraceptive or abortion services, President Obama has vigorously engaged in a scorched-earth campaign to do just the opposite.\nIt\u2019s not enough that Obama has imposed a mandate on a formerly free America to compel people to purchase health insurance under his woefully inferior new health care scheme. He is insistent on gratuitously forcing it on those whose faith-driven consciences object to the mandate, even when exempting them surely wouldn\u2019t impair the workings of his already chaotic law.\nThis president doles out exemptions like candy for his friends and supporters when he has absolutely no legal authority to do so. But when he is legally required to exempt people (on religious liberty grounds), he refuses. What\u2019s the common denominator here? Obama gets his way and the law be damned \u2014 period! The will of the people matters \u2014 if Obama says it does and not if he doesn\u2019t.\nYou would think Obama would have better things to do than pick a fight with innocent, well-meaning faith-oriented people who simply want the government not to force them to do things that would genuinely violate their consciences. He and his legal honchos have already lost 18 out of 19 cases related to this, including against the owners of Hobby Lobby. Isn\u2019t it ironic that one of the litigants opposing him \u2014 the only one to lose its bid for injunctive relief so far \u2014 is the University of Notre Dame, the very school at which he made his assurance that he would respect our conscience rights?\nThe latest chapter in this outrage involves the Little Sisters of the Poor, a Maryland-based order of nuns to whom Obama refuses to grant an exemption from his bullying health care statute. The U.S. Supreme Court temporarily granted an injunction to prevent the government from forcing the mandate or imposing a fine on the Little Sisters, but the case on the merits is pending before the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.\nThe Little Sisters\u2019 mission is to care for the elderly poor. The nuns work hand in hand with the Christian Brothers Services and other Catholic nonprofit groups to provide employee benefits that are consistent with their faith. Their faith unambiguously forbids them to participate in Big Brother Barack\u2019s program to distribute, subsidize and promote the use of contraceptives, sterilization and abortion-inducing drugs and devices. But Big Brother wholly disrespects their religious liberties and is pushing all the way to the Supreme Court, presumably to make a point that no one defies Big Brother, whether or not it hurts Big Brother\u2019s cause. Big Brother is seeking to force the Little Sisters to execute and deliver his mandatory contraceptive coverage form, EBSA Form 700. If the sisters refuse, Big Brother says he\u2019s going to come down hard and impose severe financial penalties.\nBig Brother, preposterously, insists that he has not burdened the Little Sisters, because he can\u2019t use the Employee Retirement Income Security Act to force third parties (in this case, the administrators of the church plan through which the nuns provide benefits) to act on the Little Sisters\u2019 EBSA Form 700. Big Brother is actually arguing that because ERISA lacks enforcement authority against others, the Little Sisters\u2019 religious rights are not in jeopardy here. Do you see my point? If it doesn\u2019t matter, then why is Big Brother insisting on it? Just because he can? To throw around his authority? To put his Little Sisters in their place?\nBut in fact, the Little Sisters\u2019 religious liberties would be violated by the group\u2019s signing the form, because that would, in the group\u2019s attorneys\u2019 words, \u201cdesignate, authorize, incentivize, and obligate administrators to provide coverage\u201d and would essentially rewrite \u201cthe Little Sisters\u2019 religious beliefs for them.\u201d Of course the nuns\u2019 moral standards don\u2019t allow them to get around their consciences by playing the game of having some other entity technically perform the services. Those with religion-based moral standards would not have to have this principle explained to them. This may be a news flash to the obtuse, but the Little Sisters are not going to take their moral cues from Big Brother and are not going to adjust their religious beliefs to bring them into compliance with what Big Brother says they ought to be (as if he were the pope), as opposed to what they actually are.\nThe Religious Freedom Restoration Act prohibits the government from \u201csubstantially burdening\u201d one\u2019s exercise of religion only if it demonstrates it has a compelling governmental interest to do so and it is the least restrictive means of furthering that interest.\nAmoral Big Brother would have us believe that he has a compelling government interest in forcing a faith-based group to violate its religious conscience by signing a form to enable the provision of no-cost access to abortion-inducing drugs and devices, sterilizations, and all Food and Drug Administration-approved contraceptives.\nYou got it: This government has no interest in reducing our crippling national debt but has a compelling interest in forcing nuns to support abortion and contraception.\nDavid Limbaugh is a writer, author and attorney.

It was really frustrating.\n\u201cMy knee just gave way as the cartilage was worn, and as a Mechanical Engineer, you spend a lot of time on your knees, so that made my working life very difficult, in total over the past seven years I\u2019ve probably had about two of those in total off.\u201d\nMr Bloore (pictured with his wife, Emma) said the pain had \u201ctaken over his life\u201d and eventually piled on five stone due to not being able to take part in any physical activity.\nHe had had enough \u2013 until he was referred to The Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital, where he was seen by Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon Professor. James Richardson, who put him forward for ACI.\nMr Bloore started the trial in April 2016 and has not looked back since.\nHe said: \u201cI\u2019m delighted I was given the chance to trial ACI, I\u2019m able to live a normal life again, I\u2019ve even managed to shift the five stone I\u2019d put on from inactivity. I\u2019m absolutely delighted, it\u2019s made a huge difference to not just my life, but also my wife and kids.\n\u201cI\u2019ve made huge progress since the trial. I\u2019m back at work, and I\u2019m able to move around again. It\u2019s made a huge difference to my quality of life.\u201d",

He taught me that a dog needs three things \u2013 exercise, discipline, and affection and in that order. This has helped me so much in training my pup, he listens so much more than he did before the training and his wild behavior has changed. My friends have even noticed the difference. I can\u2019t thank Rocky Top Rottweilers enough!\nDiana Sunderman on December 17, 2017 at 3:23 pm said:\nI just fell in love with Jagger and Lacie when I met them and I am not always comfortable with large breed dogs but these 2 were so well behaved and very trained. These dogs are very loved and cherished and really enjoy life!!\nVery well behaved and lovable dogs. Would have them in my home at any time.\nBrett on December 21, 2017 at 7:51 pm said:\nMike has some of the most well behaved and intelligent dogs I\u2019ve ever been around, it\u2019s extremely impressive. I hope that when I am able to finally get my rottweiler, I\u2019ll be able to have him help me with training.\nWesley Stout on September 6, 2018 at 1:53 pm said:\nMy wife and I visited RTR and got to meet the dogs involved with their breeding program. They are very impressive and well-mannered. I enjoyed the visit and would recommend to anyone considering a Rottweiler as a pet to do the same. The personalities of his dogs are very much what you would want in a dog of this size.",

The situation is challenging as it is a very steep area. Our goal is to establish a continuous and safe route with optimal accessibility for pedestrians and cyclists.\nThe bridge can be divided into three parts. Main body is a continuous steel bridge from Fyrstikkbakken in the east over the railroad tracks to the west with two spans of 28 and 35m. Northern ramp provides access to the bridge from the road\u2019s highest point. Spiral ramp and staircase that provide access to the west from the riverbank.\nA special attention is devoted to the design of the three landing points of the bridge. On the top of Fyrstikkbakken in the east a viewing point is established enabling a view of the area to the west. Upon landing at Bryn a ramp for cyclists goes in a circular motion over the river. This enables universal design of the height difference, creating an interesting walking experience of the river, takes the least space and lands the bridge in a good place. A staircase for a short direct connect is placed adjacent to the ramp.",

        "raw_content": "Fielder Allison Jones\nBorn: 8 / 13 / 1871 at Shinglehouse, PA (USA)\nDied: 3 / 13 / 1934 at Portland, OR (USA)\nThis article was written by David Larson\nFielder Jones was an exceptionally talented ballplayer and manager. He played while professional baseball was still in its infancy, from 1896 to 1908 and briefly in 1914 and 1915. He won pennants with Brooklyn of the NL in 1899 and 1900 and with the Chicago White Sox in 1901 and 1906. As the White Sox manager, his charges easily defeated a powerful Chicago Cubs team to win the World Series in 1906. In his era, he was regarded as one of the most intelligent field generals in the game.\nFielder Allison Jones was born August 13, 1871, in Shinglehouse, Pennsylvania. Some records incorrectly list his birth in 1874. His parents were Benjamin Franklin Jones and Laura Ellen Parmenter Jones.\nJones' descendants have traced the family ancestry on Fielder's father side to Robert de Bruce, king of Scotland in the 1300s. His mother's family was traced to the captain of the Mayflower. His parents named him after a great uncle, Fielder Jones, a Civil War general who became an attorney and newspaper publisher after his military service.\nThe ball-playing Fielder grew up in the small northwestern Pennsylvania township, in the area known as the Enchanted Mountains region, where timber was the primary business. Benjamin Jones owned a general store. Fielder was the second son in the family, having an older brother Willard.\nAt age 15 Jones attended the prep school at Alfred University. Some sources say he graduated from the university, but the school has no record of that.\nJones claimed that he learned to play baseball at Alfred: \"Students at Alfred could play among themselves, but Alfred, with lofty scorn, declined to send a team against any other institution.\" (Some of the material in this piece comes from unidentified clippings in the Jones family scrapbooks, provided by Sherian Groce.)\nAfter his school days, he started working as a surveyor with his older brother Willard. Family records showed Fielder worked for the city of Rochester, Minnesota, as a \"rodman\" in 1890. He was making channel soundings in March of that year, when he was 18 years old. In October he was working in Fairhaven, Washington, laying stakes as an advance man for railroad construction.\nJones ventured north into British Columbia and was surveying western Canada in 1891, but funding for the project Jones was working on was withdrawn when a recession hit. Jones found himself without work, with little money and more than two thousand miles from home.\nWillard Jones had come to the Pacific Northwest a couple years earlier and had settled in Portland, Oregon. Fielder headed south and worked with his brother. Being young and athletic, he landed a job playing baseball. He started his professional career as a catcher and outfielder in 1891 with Portland of the Oregon State League.\nEventually, Jones was able to save enough money to head back east to his family's home. In Shinglehouse he joined various amateur and semi-pro teams.\nJones played for Corning, New York, in 1893. He was with the Binghamton team at the start of the 1894 season and totaled eleven hits in one doubleheader. In 1895 with Binghamton of the New York League, he got four hits against a higher-classification minor league team from Springfield, Massachusetts, in an exhibition game. The New York League folded in July. Springfield remembered Jones and signed the centerfielder.\nJones was a success with Springfield. Playing just 50 games, he helped the club move from fourth place to the league championship. Jones hit .399 in 223 at bats, scoring 57 runs with 29 stolen bases. He was hitting third by the end of the season, a sign that he was recognized as one of the best hitters on the team. After his strong performance, Brooklyn of the National League drafted the young outfielder.\nBrooklyn was high on Jones' talent, but had three outfielders ahead of him. John Anderson, Tommy McCarthy and Mike Griffin were the starters as the 1896 season opened. Jones' first major league appearance came in the second game of the season. He replaced Anderson as the right fielder in a 6-2 loss and got a hit in first at bat. In his next game he was hit by a pitch and scored a run in a pinch-hitting appearance. Anderson's strong early-season hitting limited Jones to two appearances in the first three weeks of the season. Brooklyn, looking to give Jones more work, loaned him to Hartford of the Atlantic League along with two other players. At Hartford he had just two hits in 13 at bats.\nAn injury to Anderson opened a spot for Jones. His third game with Brooklyn came on May 20. Playing right field, Jones went 4 for 5, scoring four runs in a 25-6 rout of Pittsburgh. He had seven hits in his first 13 at bats after returning from Hartford. John Anderson, who would hit .314 that season, was bumped from the starting lineup.\nJones hit .354, one of the highest averages of any major league rookie to that time. He also finished second on the team in runs scored and tied for the team lead in walks. His .427 on-base percentage paced the team. Jones stole 18 bases; only once in his 13 years as a player would he steal fewer. Jones had another big day on June 11. Batting leadoff, he went 4 for 4 with two doubles and his first home run as Brooklyn beat Cy Young 6-1.\nFielder was just starting to live up to his name. His .928 fielding percentage was slightly lower than the league average, the only time this would happen during his career, but he showed a strong arm, netting 10 assists, the fewest of his career.\nBrooklyn finished ninth in the twelve-team league. Manager Dave Foutz would later become head of an early attempt at a players union. Foutz's ideas on player rights would influence Jones.\nBrooklyn improved to sixth place in 1897. Even though Jones' batting average dropped 40 points, he showed improvement in other areas: He finished fourth in the NL in runs scored with 134 and stole 48 bases. His fielding percentage improved to .941 while the league average was .935. He more than doubled his assists, gunning down 22 base runners.\nEighteen ninety-eight was a frustrating year for Brooklyn. The team fell to tenth place under three different managers. In his first three years in the NL, Jones played for four managers. As the team struggled, his performance fell off, but he led the team in batting, on base percentage, runs, hits, triples, RBI, walks and stolen bases. He finished the year with a .304 average and 69 RBI, the most of his career, an impressive number for a player who usually hit first or second.\nBreaking a leg in the off-season, Jones did not start the 1899 season with Brooklyn. He sat for two months recuperating before succumbing to pressure to return from new manager Ned Hanlon, who had led the Baltimore Orioles to three straight pennants in the nineties. Baltimore team owner Henry Von der Horst had combined his team with Brooklyn, forming another of baseball's syndicate teams, and Hanlon took several of the Orioles' stars to Brooklyn. Hanlon wanted Jones at the top of the order to pace the offense. He also knew Jones, when teamed with future Hall of Famers Joe Kelley and Willie Keeler, would give Brooklyn the most potent outfield in the NL. Jones' injury reduced his effectiveness as he hit just .285. His foot speed was also diminished after the injury.\nBrooklyn won the NL pennant in 1899, finishing seven games ahead of the competition. The club had improved from a tenth-place finish and a record of 54-91 to a league-best 101-47. Hanlon and players imported from Baltimore improved the team's offense from one of the league's worst to one of the best. Brooklyn's base percentage went from league worst to league best, and the club stole twice as many bases as the year before. Jones would become a disciple of Hanlon's offensive style.\nThe syndicate baseball of 1899 was a success for Brooklyn and St. Louis, but four teams were dropped from the NL. Many players who were released went to a minor league called the American League.\nIn 1898 Jones had married the former Mabel Schaney and ran a general store in his wife's hometown of Bolivar, New York, in the off-season. The couple would have a son, Cecil, three years later.\nActive in business, Jones showed a good head for money. He also had an understanding of the predicament the ballplayers. Jones was vocal in his disgust for the contracts of the day. The reserve clause bound a player to one team. In a 1906 article in the Saturday Evening Post, Jones would call the reserve clause the \"yoke of tyranny.\" The National League in 1899 limited the salaries of players to no more than $2,400 a season.\nIn 1899 Jones announced his intent to leave Brooklyn and baseball. Along with reserve outfielder Jimmy Sheckard and pitcher \"Iron Man\" Joe McGinnity, he prepared to retire to private interests. Jones had continued his studies on surveying practices and claimed he was prepared to join his brother. Willard had been running the business, F.A. Jones & Bro. Civil Engineers and Surveyors, in Portland. Fielder had bought a 25 percent interest in some oil wells in western New York. It appears likely that he could have afforded to walk away from the game, but the retirement threat was only that. He did keep playing, but he was not happy that he was bound to Brooklyn.\nHealthy again in 1900, Jones hit .310 as Brooklyn won its second championship. He played every game, tied for the team lead in runs and was second in hits, walks and stolen bases. He also posted career highs in doubles and home runs. By this time Jones was one of the premier defensive players in the game.\nThe winter of 1900 changed baseball forever. The American League announced itself as a major league and declared war on the NL. Clark Griffith, who jumped the Chicago NL franchise for city's AL team, acted as a recruiter for the new league. He set his sights on 40 NL stars. The AL announced it would not honor the NL's reserve clause, which so many players abhorred.\nGriffith was given a part interest in the Chicago AL franchise and recruited the best talent for the team he would manage. Griffith is said to have hiked three miles through the snow to reach Jones' Bolivar home. Jones signed with the Chicago White Sox for 1901.\nJones hit .311 for the White Sox in 1901, as the team won the inaugural AL pennant. This was Jones' third consecutive championship team. The outfielder led the Sox in runs scored, hits and batting average. His 120 runs scored was second-best in the league. He was fourth in the league in stolen bases, second in walks and on-base percentage. The STATS All-Time Baseball Sourcebook named him retroactively as one of the league's all-star outfielders.\nGeorge Davis, the shortstop of the New York Giants, jumped to the Sox for the 1902 season. Davis was second-best shortstop in the NL to Honus Wagner and reportedly would be the highest paid player in baseball in 1902. Davis had former player-turned-attorney John Montgomery Ward create an ironclad contract which legally bound the player to the Sox for four years.\nThe Sox headed into 1902 looking to repeat as league champions. The club had also lured .300-hitting outfielder Danny Green from the cross-town Cubs. But the White Sox finished a disappointing fourth. Jones did his part, leading the team in batting (.321) and hits.\nBaseball, however, was changing the rules to favor the pitchers. Batting averages were dropping from the high-scoring 1890s. The changes were decreasing the numbers of runners who reached base, increasing the value of a single run. The average team in 1896 scored six runs per game. In 1902 the AL averaged less than five runs a game and the NL dropped to an average just over four. With less offense, managers needed to adapt. Playing for one run at a time required different skills and strategy. The ability to bunt was becoming more valuable. Teams couldn't afford to waste base runners.\nJones was becoming more dangerous in the field. He threw out 20 base runners in 1901. The AL didn't learn any lessons as Jones gunned down 25 in 1902. He led the AL with 11 double plays from the outfield. Jones' fielding percentage in '02 was .972. As a comparison, the league fielding percentage was .944. As runs became scarce, the value of defense increased.\nBill James, in his book Win Shares, lists Jones as an \"A+\" outfielder. Total Baseball records defensive runs saved. They estimate Jones saved 13 runs above league average in 1902. This was second-best in the AL and Jones was the only outfielder among the league leaders. STATS lists Jones as one of their Gold Glove outfielders for the decade. Newspapers of the day called a nearly impossible, yet successful, fielding play, a \"Jones Catch.\"\nJohn McGraw of the New York Giants was about to go into war with the AL. McGraw, who managed the Baltimore AL franchise at the start of 1902, became frustrated with Ban Johnson's attempts to curb the rowdy element in baseball. McGraw jumped his Baltimore contract in mid-season and took his best players to the Giants. The rest of the AL was forced to supply players to Baltimore so the team could finish the season.\nTo give McGraw some competition, AL president Ban Johnson moved the Baltimore franchise to New York in 1903. Clark Griffith, unhappy managing under Comiskey, readily agreed to manage the AL franchise in New York. The AL was intent on putting a strong team in New York, getting Wee Willie Keeler, Jack Chesbro, and Jesse Tannehill from the NL to stock the club. Giants owner John T. Brush and McGraw would try to fight back.\nFirst the Giants enticed George Davis to jump the White Sox. Davis was not happy with Comiskey and decided to try to break his contract with Chicago. The two leagues did not honor each other's contracts at this time, but Davis had a unique deal. His attorney, Ward, would now try to break the supposedly unbreakable contract he had written.\nHard-hitting Ed Delahanty and others also agreed to jump from the AL to the Giants. But the first attempts at a peace agreement between the two leagues in winter of 1902 forced the Giants to relinquish some players, including Delahanty.\nFielder Jones was following these events with interest. He was dissatisfied in Chicago. He had growing business interests in western New York, where he lived there in the off-season. John McGraw coveted him to help rebuild the Giants' poor outfield. Jones, following Davis's example, hired an attorney to write his own contract with the Sox. His 1903 contract did not contain a reserve clause. Jones signed a three-year deal to play for the Giants starting in 1904, after his deal with the Sox expired. Without the reserve clause in his contract, he expected to be free to move to New York.\nThe AL was still attempting to move players to their newly created New York franchise to compete with the Giants. The Giants were intent on getting Delahanty. They gave him a signing bonus to jump from Washington but the two leagues disallowed the contract. According to some accounts, Delahanty was on his way to join the Giants when he fell to his death from a railroad track spanning the river leading to Niagara Falls. George Davis played just four games for the Giants in 1903 before a court blocked him from playing with that team. Davis would sit out the rest of the season before going back to Chicago.\nThe legal battles were too costly for the two leagues. Contract jumping was driving up salaries. Team owners knew they had to come to an agreement and did so after the 1903 season. The two leagues would honor all contracts, including the reserve clause.\nThe White Sox of 1903 were a bad team with little leadership. Chicago newspapers reported the team was close to mutiny against manager Jimmy Callahan. Fielder Jones had a solid year, hitting .287, third-best on the club, with the second-best on-base percentage. He led the AL in putouts with 324 and in fielding percentage at .985. John McGraw thought he was getting a superb, all around ball player in Jones for the 1904 season.\nFielder Jones had signed to play with the Giants in 1904. He told a New York newspaper he would not play again for Chicago. Jones was not legally bound to the Sox and expected to play for New York.\nThe National Commission had other ideas. Even without the reserve clause in his contract, the Commission prevented Jones from playing in the NL. AL president Ban Johnson, a member of the Commission, prevailed upon NL president Harry Pulliam to have New York relinquish their rights to Jones. Jones had been a true free agent but was not allowed to play for any team but the White Sox. The National Commission said that Jones and Davis were property of the White Sox \"until such time as said players may be disposed by that club.\" They added that the leagues would fight in court, no matter how costly, if either player fought the decision. The Sporting News, long a voice for the baseball owners, said that the Giants had no claim to Davis but felt a court of law would say they should have Jones. There was sentiment toward Jones for his integrity in playing out his Sox contract but not for Davis, who had jumped a contract.\nDetroit contacted Comiskey about working a trade, offering outfielder Jimmy Barrett in exchange, but Comiskey did not want to lose a player of Jones' worth. Jones was still determined to have New York honor the contract, defying the peace agreement. Comiskey told The Sporting News it was an \"outrage upon the base ball public of the city to let such a player get away from the White Sox.\" Fielder Jones did not report to training camp with the Sox in 1904. He reported to the Giants' camp and later worked out with the Senators.\nYet Jones, if he wanted to play baseball in 1904, would have to stay with the White Sox or play for an outlaw league. He commented that he felt a \"contract should be as good as his word.\" Jones was forced to re-sign with the White Sox since his deal with the Giants was disallowed. Reportedly he only signed after a meeting with Ban Johnson.\nFielder Jones had again written his own contract with Chicago. Once again there was no reserve clause. Clearly, he was still planning to leave Chicago. He may have felt that the two leagues would not be able to keep the peace. Jones commented on his situation in the Saturday Evening Post: \"I am practically a slave. The baseball slave accepts the restrictions placed upon him by the great magnates, and smiles .\"\nThe contract is also of interest in that Jones had an injury clause. Players in this era usually did not get paid if they were hurt and unable to play. Teams were known to release players who were not physically able to perform. Jones would earn $4,250 for the season.\nIt's also notable that while baseball would not let Jones play for the New York Giants, Sporting Life reported that the National League ended up paying part of Jones' salary in 1904 and 1905. The league also paid part of George Davis's salary. NL President Harry Pulliam said the NL was \"sending Charles A. Comiskey $700 each month\" as a way of \"squaring\" the contracts of Jones and Davis. Pulliam indicated that Jones would not have gone back to the Sox as he had a valid contract with the National League. Pulliam added, \"Jones has acted perfectly honorable and there is no reason that he should suffer loss because of the peace agreement between the two leagues.\"\nComiskey had Jones under contract for two years but knew the player was looking to leave. Comiskey needed a way to keep Jones in Chicago. Forty games into the season, he found the way. Ban Johnson had helped prevent Jones from going to New York. Both Comiskey and Johnson knew that Jones was capable of much more than that of an outfielder.\nJimmy Callahan had managed the Sox to the young franchise's worst record in 1903, winning only 60 games. Callahan was a hard drinker and known brawler. He was lax on discipline, probably because it would have curtailed his own carousing. Comiskey was a stickler for conditioning. As a manager he believed that conditioning would win pennants.\nCallahan's Sox underachieved in 1903. Based on their runs scored and allowed, STATS estimates the Sox should have won 14 additional games. The team was in disarray during the 1904 spring training as several players held out. Eventually all players signed and after the season, Sporting Life noted, \"Comiskey has the consolation that he has had a great season and made lots of money.\" Just a few years into the history of the American League, Charles Comiskey was making money and his players were unhappy about their contracts. Comiskey, once a champion of player rights, was now being labeled a greedy owner.\nThe 1904 season opened with a Jones in center field for Chicago, but it was Claude \"Charlie\" Jones. Dubbed \"Clawed\" by the press for his poor fielding, Charlie was just 4 for 17 before Fielder returned in the Sox' sixth game.\nA Chicago newspaper reported that Comiskey suspended Callahan in mid-May. Fielder Jones was offered the manager's job, but refused. On June 6, Comiskey did make a change. Callahan was \"asked\" to give up the managerial duties. Callahan told the newspapers, \"I believe I have the best interests of the team at heart.\" The papers said Callahan planned to concentrate on learning his new position, second base. He had pitched and played outfield and third base in previous years. Fielder Jones, who was not talking to Comiskey, finally agreed to take over the team. Ironically, Callahan would play left field the rest of the year as Jones installed Gus Dundon at second base. Dundon was a player Callahan tried to send to the minors in spring training.\nComiskey had a reputation for second-guessing his managers. He would stand behind home plate and make notes on the team's play, then later go over the mistakes with the manager. Comiskey made the trades, scouted the minor leagues, and decided who was on the roster during the season. The Sox needed a strong-willed individual who could not only handle the players but who could also handle the team owner's interference.\nFielder Jones was not happy or talking with Comiskey. But Comiskey evidently recognized Jones' leadership abilities. Never one to back away from an opportunity, Jones took over the team and started working with the owner he had tried to escape.\nJones was the exact opposite of Callahan, a manager in the mold of Comiskey. Jones wanted his teams to practice, stay in shape and play intelligent baseball. The team improved under Jones. The Sox were 23-18 under Callahan and 67-47 under Jones. STATS estimates, that the Sox under Jones, won 11 more games than expected in 1904.\nJones would become known as a daring and innovative manager, one who understood the rule book and was unafraid of taking chances. One writer claimed that \"Fielder introduced speed, psychology, and daring into the game.\"\nUnder Jones, the Sox started playing as a team. The Callahan Sox were stuck in fourth place, while Jones' Sox actually got to first place at one point before finishing third, just six games out. Injuries down the stretch, including one to pitching ace Frank Owen, ruined the team's title chances. The pitching and fielding showed the most improvement. The team ERA dropped from 3.02 to 2.30. Doc White, a holdout at the start of the season, ran off a string of 45 consecutive scoreless innings, a record that stood until 1968. An improvement in fielding also helped the pitchers. The Sox reduced their errors by 59 from 1903 and improved from seventh to first in fielding percentage. Part of the improvement goes to Dundon who led the AL in fielding percentage, 51 points better than Callahan's at second.\nOffensively the team scored more runs than in 1903, an increase from 516 to 600, even though its batting average and on-base percentage dropped slightly. The Jones influence is shown in that the team started playing for one run at a time. The Sox had more sacrifices and stolen bases in 1904. Fielder Jones understood that to win games in the Deadball Era, teams needed good pitching, good defense and a one-run lead.\nJones did not take part in spring training in 1904, so he missed the arrival of the pitcher who would become the franchise's all-time best and would become linked to Fielder Jones and the success of the team.\nEd Walsh grew up in Plains, Pennsylvania, a town as small as Shinglehouse, Jones' hometown. Walsh worked in the coal mines, playing on mine teams until he signed to play minor league baseball. During spring training with the Sox in 1904, he met Elmer Stricklett, a journeyman pitcher who was trying to hang on by using a pitch he had recently learned, the spitball. Stricklett taught it to the young Walsh. It would be two years before Walsh mastered the pitch, but when he did, Jones and the Sox were in for a good run.\nSome stories state that Jones told Walsh in spring training that he needed to learn the spitball to make the team. In fact, Jones was opposed to the spitball. A Sporting Life article after the 1904 season quotes Jones as saying, \"If base ball legislators want to do any legislating this winter let them a pass a rule against the 'spit ball.'\" Jones felt that pitchers already had too much of an advantage over the hitters.\nContemporary writers said the stress of managing hurt Jones' offensive performance; Sporting Life asked in 1906 if the stress of managing would affect Frank Chance of the Cubs as it did Jones. Baseball observers at the time judged a hitter almost entirely by his batting average. Jones' average dropped from .287 in 1903 to a low of .230 in 1906. Through the 1903 season he was a lifetime .310 hitter. During his last five seasons with the White Sox he batted just .246, but that was two points better than the league average in those deadball years.\nModern measurements reveal that Jones actually continued to be a strong run producer as a player-manager. His on-base percentage plus slugging percentage was better than the AL average every year but 1904. He was second in the league in runs scored in 1905 and fourth in 1908, and finished second or third in walks each year from '05-'08.\nJones' defense also continued to shine. He led the AL in putouts in 1906. He set a major league record for fielding percentage by an outfielder that year with a mark of .988. (The league-average outfielder had a percentage of .963.) Jones also averaged almost 20 assists a season from 1905 through 1908.\nThe White Sox moved up to second place in 1905, just two games behind Philadelphia. The pitching staff was the best in the AL and the team was second in runs scored. The Sox weren't eliminated from the race until they dropped two of three to the Athletics late in September. According to STATS, Jones' squad won 10 more games than expected.\n1906 would prove to be team's finest hour. The White Sox had injury and personnel problems all season, but Jones held the team together. The only starter to play the entire season was first baseman Jiggs Donohue. Jones was hindered by ankle problems. Catcher Billy Sullivan broke the thumb on his throwing hand on September 1. Third baseman Lee Tannehill had ankle and knee injuries. Shortstop George Davis had shoulder, hip and back problems that limited his effectiveness. Frank Isbell had knee problems.\nThe pitching staff also had its share of difficulties. Ed Walsh, who came into his own that year, had a hand injury. Doc White missed the first six weeks of the season while coaching baseball at his alma mater, Georgetown. He also missed most of September with viral infections. Nick Altrock had a bad ankle.\nJones also had to deal with the defection of backup catcher Ed MacFarland and the loss of three outfielders from the 1905 team. Jimmy Callahan left the team before the season to start an outlaw semi-pro team in Chicago. Callahan was the subject of much discussion during the season as Comiskey negotiated to get him back. Callahan would end up suing baseball at the end of the season after the National Commission refused to allow him to rejoin the White Sox.\nThe White Sox didn't click as a team until the lineup became set late in July. With a healthy team for the first time all year, Jones was able to put his best lineup on the field and the results showed. The Sox won a record 19 straight games, outscoring their opponents by over three runs per game during the stretch. The Sox leaped from fourth place to first. They started the streak by knocking off the league-leading Athletics five times. New York put together a 15-game win streak in September as the Sox were hindered by injuries to Sullivan and Tannehill. The Sox and Highlanders traded places three times before the Sox clinched the pennant.\nThe White Sox in 1906 were dubbed the Hitless Wonders because of their league-low .230 batting average. But they were third in runs scored, and it is runs, not hits, that win games. The Sox clearly knew how to play deadball. They excelled in the areas designed to score a single run at a time. Besides leading in sacrifices, they also led the league in walks and hit by pitches and were third in stolen bases. The White Sox scored 0.5 runs for every hit. The league's best offensive team, Cleveland, scored 0.43 runs for every hit. While Jones was managing the White Sox, all his teams were among the league's best in drawing walks, stealing bases and bunting. Jones personally averaged 28 sacrifices during his years as manager.\nThe White Sox were also able to take advantage of their home ball yard. South Side Park was described in The Hidden Game of Baseball as an \"all-time scoring squelcher.\" John McGraw, as reported in Wrigleyville, said of the Sox home field, \"Their grounds prevent anyone from hitting heavily, as they played 77 games there, it made their averages look very small.\" The Sox allowed just 2.28 runs per game when playing at home and only three home runs were hit in the park all season. It is unclear what the dimensions of park were, but the Sox had fast outfielders and ground-ball pitchers to keep balls from getting to the fences. They were 21 games over .500 at home and just four games over on the road, outscoring their opponents by 95 runs at home but by just 15 on the road.\nThe Hitless Wonders went into the World Series as a decided underdog to their cross-town rivals. Frank Chance's Cubs had dominated the NL, winning a record 116 games, but the NL did not have the same competitive balance as the AL. Just three NL teams had winning records, while the AL had five. The sixth-place AL team had a better record than the fourth-place NL club. Jones had scouted the Cubs and knew they were susceptible to left-handed and spitball pitchers. Jones' choice of pitchers during the series would reflect this. Chance, on the other hand, told the Chicago Tribune he might start his second-string pitchers against the Sox.\nLooking at the batting averages, runs scored and pitching stats for the World Series shows two evenly matched teams. So how did the White Sox win the World Championship in six games? The venerable baseball writer Henry Chadwick stated the White Sox won on \"generalship alone.\" Fielder Jones knew how to beat the Cubs by taking the Cubs out of their game. The White Sox didn't hit much against the great Cubs pitching staff but knew how to manufacture runs. The Cubs would prove to be frustrated by Sox pitching and failed to take advantage of opportunities.\nW.M. Rankin wrote after the Series, \"Jones knew his men like a book and knew what they could do and what to expect.\" He felt Chance lacked proper judgment at critical times and had a lot to learn before he could be regarded as one of the best. Another writer claimed the Sox won due to \"superior head work.\"\nIn spite of his earlier opposition to the spitball, Jones commented in The Sporting News on Ed Walsh, \"It is impossible to bunch hits on a spit ball pitcher who has full command of that delivery.\" He added, \"Not one moment did Walsh lose his head.\" Walsh won two games in the Series.\nFielder Jones was now mentioned with Connie Mack and John McGraw as the best managers in baseball. A Cleveland sportswriter in 1908 wondered how many championships the Cleveland team would have won if they had had Jones as manager instead of Napoleon Lajoie. Jones was cheered when he played his first home game in 1904, after his holdout. In 1906 he was honored as Chicago's favorite player. And yet Jones talked openly of retiring.\nCharles Comiskey didn't help the team's title chances for 1907. After the World Series victory, Commy gave the players a check for $15,000 to share as bonus money. But as the players got their contracts for the '07 season, they found the bonus was factored into their salaries. In February Walsh announced that he might hold out. Jones was only enticed back to the team with a contract worth $10,000, the most money paid to date by Comiskey for any player. The White Sox players were not happy going into 1907. Comiskey had done nothing to improve the team's offense. The White Sox had the oldest lineup in the AL in 1906 and suffered from numerous injuries. They were only older and more injury-prone in 1907. The White Sox offense showed little improvement and the team was carried by the league's best pitching staff. The Sox were in first place in early August, but their lack of depth ruined their chances. They again had the league's best pitching and defense and finished third in runs scored. Jones felt that defense and pitching were more important than offense. He believed that if his team got a one-run lead, they would win the game. But the Tigers, who scored 106 more runs than Chicago, won the pennant. Detroit scored too many runs for the Sox pitching and defense to overcome. In November, Jones once again pondered retirement. But a blank contract from Comiskey, lured Jones back to the fold. Jones was able to name his price, $10,000.\nThe 1908 White Sox may have been Jones' finest performance as a manager. Once again Comiskey had done little to improve his club. The only additions were shortstop Freddy Parent and outfielder John Anderson. The addition of Parent would move the aging George Davis to second base. Anderson was to add depth to the outfield and offense.\nHowever, the Sox struggled. Jiggs Donahue was suffering from venereal disease, which destroyed his playing ability and would ultimately take his life at age 34. Davis hit .217, bettering his replacement Parent by ten points. The team hit just three homers all year, one by hurler Walsh. Frank Owen and Nick Altrock pitched little due to injuries. Comiskey offered as replacements four minor leaguers who went 3-4.\nComiskey didn't help matters with his hard-line attitude toward hurler Frank Smith. Smith, a two-time 20-game winner but a perpetually unhappy player, jumped the team on July 12. He had jumped a minor league team and the Sox previously. This year he was unhappy with criticism by Jones and Comiskey. G.W. Axelson's 1919 book Commy indicates Jones was urged to suspend Smith for wasting two pitches once he was had a 0-2 count on a batter. Jones supposedly had ordered Smith to get after the batter and Smith didn't. This version of the story may be Comiskey's attempt to save face about Smith's desertion. The book also reports that the Sox owner paid Smith in full for the season.\nNewspaper reports said Smith left the team in protest over early morning workouts. More likely he was upset with criticism of his drinking, carousing and missing practices. Smith went home to Pittsburgh to take up his off-season occupation of piano moving. His nickname at the time was \"Piano Mover,\" but his teammates started calling him \"Deserter.\" Jones, as reported in the Chicago Tribune, frequently called and wrote Smith, asking him to return to the team, which he finally did.\nWhile Smith was gone, the Sox had only two healthy pitchers, Ed Walsh and Doc White. Walsh turned in one of the greatest seasons in history. Big Ed won 40 games with just 15 losses. He pitched 464 innings, the most by any pitcher since 1893, with a 1.42 ERA. White won 18 games and pitched nearly 300 innings. Smith, who missed more than a month, finished with a record of 17-16 and a 2.03 ERA. More important, he won 11 games down the stretch.\nEven with the team's worst offense of the Jones years, the Sox stayed in the race until the last day of the season, when they played the Tigers for the pennant. Jones decided to pitch lefthander White on one day's rest as opposed to a rested Frank Smith. Many have speculated that the animosity between Jones and Smith led to the decision, but that overlooks Jones' ability to evaluate his opponents. Jones knew the Cubs were susceptible to lefthanders and spitball pitchers in 1906. He also must have recognized that the Tigers were susceptible to lefthanders. Doc White was not a hard thrower and had pitched on limited rest before. Ty Cobb claimed that White was the toughest pitcher he ever faced; Cobb hit just .276 against the lefthander, 90 points below his lifetime average. The Tigers' top four hitters were all left-handed.\nJones said of the decision, \"I put him in because I figured him the best bet against the Tigers and because 'Doc' insisted. White had been a stumbling block for Detroit all season and he told me he never felt better.\" But the Tigers tagged White often and early, aided by five Sox errors, en route to a 7-0 victory. Jones' strategy had failed.\nEven though the White Sox lost the pennant on the last day of the season, the season had been lost earlier. Chicago writer I. E. Sanborn claimed that the five weeks Frank Smith was gone cost the Sox the title. He claimed Smith deserted the team for a \"fancied wrong\" and that he \"would have easily won six games that lesser pitchers lost.\" It was also written that Smith had an \"animosity to hard work.\" Sanborn praised Jones for his \"marvelous executive ability on the field\" and said Jones was the premiere defensive outfielder in the country.\nThe Sporting News wrote that the Sox were called the \"most dreaded foe\" in the AL. The Sox got by once again on superior pitching and defense. The offense scored the fewest runs of any Jones team. The Sox still played little ball, drawing walks, bunting and stealing bases, but the team was too old to improve. Sanborn suggested that if Jones had the material of some of his opponents, the Sox might have won an \"unbroken series of pennants\".\nFielder Jones quit the White Sox after the 1908 season. Some articles say that Jones lost his job over the handling of the Frank Smith-Doc White incident on the last day of the season. But those reports can be discounted.\nJones was tired of being caught between disgruntled players and Charles Comiskey. Comiskey, while a player, had been a part of an early players association, advocating player rights. That changed when he became an owner. He was already proving to be cheap and Jones may well have grown tired of Comiskey's second-guessing his decisions and giving him limited input on player decisions.\nBy this time, Jones had moved his wife and son to Portland, where his brother ran the engineering business. Willard was also a member of the state legislature. Fielder invested in land. Growing up in the timber country of Pennsylvania taught him the value of land and lumber. Jones, along with teammate Billy Sullivan and Cubs' shortstop Joe Tinker, invested in an apple orchard in Oregon called White Sox Orchards. The Jones family also owned the Groner Walnut Company. Jones' Portland Company owned timber and oil rights in eastern Oregon and other states. Jones didn't need baseball; he was financially sound and had plenty to occupy his time.\nIn addition, the stress of managing and playing had taken its toll. Charles Comiskey couldn't imagine that any player could just walk away from the game, but Jones needed to get of out uniform. He had a secret known only to his family: Family records show he had heart problems. Jones needed to rest, away from the stress of the game.\nCharles Comiskey would not give up trying to re-sign his manager. The Chicago Tribune reported Fielder Jones was still more popular in Chicago than Frank Chance, whose Cubs had just won their third straight pennant. Comiskey dispatched Harvey Woodruff, the sports editor of the Tribune, to Portland. Jones sent word back to Chicago of his terms to reunite with the Sox. He had dreamed of owning a major league team and knew that Clark Griffith had been given partial interest in the Sox for his efforts at recruiting NL players when he was managing the team. Jones also knew that Frank Chance had been given an interest in the Cubs.\nJones was, first and foremost, a businessman. He did not like the way baseball was being run. In The Sporting News in 1915 he said, \"If baseball wasn't such a good game, it would have died several years ago, because of the business methods of the magnates of Organized Ball. If men in other lines of business conducted their affairs as the baseball magnates have run things for the past 10 or 12 years, business would soon be on the bum.\"\nHe still disliked the reserve clause. He felt that team owners were making too much money without compensating the players fairly. Historian Harold Seymour estimated that Comiskey netted $700,000 in his first decade in Chicago. He would be profiting $70,000 a year while, as Seymour wrote, team owners tried to impose a salary cap with a total payroll of around $35,000.\nBut Comiskey ran a family business. He had bought back Clark Griffith's stock when Griffith went to New York and would not let the stock leave the family in his lifetime. Fielder Jones made a proposition to Comiskey: a part-interest his lumber and real estate holdings for a 50% interest in the White Sox.\nAfter Woodruff failed with Jones, Charles Comiskey made a trip to Portland. Unfortunately, he started out on the wrong foot by making a power play on Jones' home turf. Edwin Pope wrote that the two were to meet at Comiskey's hotel for lunch, but when Jones arrived at the set time; he was informed that Commy had gone for a walk and that he should wait. Commy's big mistake was failing to realize that Jones had the bargaining chip, his services. Jones left a message that if Comiskey still wanted to meet, he could come to Jones' office.\nComiskey was forced now to go even further to woo Jones. He laid a blank check on Jones' desk and said he could name his price. In classic Comiskey form, the price would have a limit of $15,000. Jones repeated his demands and Comiskey again said no.\nWith the 1909 baseball season just weeks away, Commy tried twice more to get Jones to return. The White Sox had already started spring training without a manager. Billy Sullivan sent a postcard from camp in Los Angeles, \"Fielder, We are all pulling for you to come back so hurry, WJS.\" AL president Ban Johnson sent a telegram to Jones on April 9, asking him to rejoin the White Sox \"at least for another season.\" Johnson said Jones' absence caused \"Mr. Comiskey much embarrassment.\"\nTwo days before the season, Jones' friend and business partner Billy Sullivan was named manager. Sullivan was a capable handler of a pitching staff, but he was poorly prepared to run a team. Giving the job to Sullivan may have been another attempt to lure Jones back. Comiskey may have believed that Sullivan, a first-time manager, would fail and Jones would come back to help out his friend.\nSullivan's son, Billy Jr., who also played in the majors, said his father was too nice to handle the daily problems of a team. Many managers of this era, were physically tough to command respect. Branch Rickey said, \"There are two ways of managing a ball club. One is by brute strength and domineering personality. The other is by superior knowledge of the game.\" Billy Sullivan would fail on both counts with the Sox. Fielder Jones had won games by knowing the game better than his opponents.\nBut Charles Comiskey was right in one respect: It was hard for Jones to leave baseball. Early in 1909 Jones became treasurer of the Class D Northwestern League while running his businesses. He became vice-president of a new hotel in Portland.\nGetting further back into the game in 1910, he was named baseball coach at Oregon Agricultural College, which would become Oregon State. Jones' charges won their first conference title under his guidance that year with a record of 13-4-1.\nBaseball rules of the day said a player was still under contract to his team until the team released him. Jones was still legally bound to the White Sox. So when he was enticed to play that year for Chehalis of the Class D Washington State League, the Sox had to give their permission. In fact, the White Sox did not officially release Jones as a player until 1913, when he was 42. But in 1910, the 39-year-old could still play. He led Chehalis to the league title, hitting .358 and leading the league in hits and average. Two years after he left, Jones was still popular in Chicago and was hired to cover the 1910 and 1911 World Series for a Chicago newspaper. Comiskey made another offer for Jones' services as manager in September of 1910. Jones again turned down a \"big salary\" to stay in Portland.\nIn 1911, the Class D Northwestern League added a team in Portland. The Class A Pacific Coast League also had a franchise there. Fielder Jones would become a regular at the ballparks, evaluating talent. The Northwestern League, in an attempt to capitalize on Jones' popularity, elected him president in 1912. In that era most teams' profitability depended on the sale of players to the higher leagues. Jones' contacts with the majors could help the league make those sales. Jones would be responsible for, among others, Harry Heilmann going to Detroit and Carl Mays going to Boston. Mays would not forget Jones' help in sending him to the majors.\nIn 1913 the Boston Red Sox offered Jones a chance to manage for $25,000. Cincinnati, Detroit and Brooklyn of the Federal League made similar offers. He turned them down. He still wanted to be a team owner and considered purchasing a minor league team\nCharles Comiskey even tried once more to get Jones back to the White Sox. After the 1913 season, Comiskey and John McGraw led a world tour. Two teams of all-stars representing the White Sox and Giants traveled around the globe playing exhibition games. Their return to the United States was a gala event. Jones was a featured guest of Comiskey at a grand dinner given in honor of the tour. Jones was given an engraved book commemorating the event even though he did not go on the trip. Jones again said no to Comiskey.\nIn 1914 the Federal League declared itself a major league. Philip Ball owned the St. Louis franchise, which struggled under the guidance of onetime pitching star Three-Finger Brown. The Terriers were the league's worst team with a 62-89 record. The papers called them the \"Shiftless Blunders.\" Ball realized that Brown was not going to bring the team a championship. Even though one newspaper claimed Jones was an \"avowed enemy of organized base ball,\" Phil Ball wanted Jones. Jones also had a need to go back to baseball. He said in a 1917 article in Baseball Magazine that his businesses were crumbling: \"they have been killed by the war and other causes.\"\nFielder Jones came back to the major leagues with an ownership interest in Ball's team. Grantland Rice reported in Colliers that Jones was to receive a guaranteed $50,000 for three years and a share of the team. Part of lure was the Federal League's limited reserve clause. Jones commented on the Federal League contract in Sporting Life, \"Ours is a straight businesslike document, with no loopholes and no jokers, which are not binding.\" Jones became manager with 38 games left in the season, but failed to improve the team. He pinch-hit in five games, hitting .333 in three at bats.\nWhen he took his club to Chicago late in the year, fans held a Fielder Jones Day. He was presented a silver plate and pitcher that were inscribed \"to Fielder A. Jones by his Chicago friends, August 1914.\"\nJones was serious about the future of the Federal League. He went to Kansas and attempted to lure Walter Johnson to St Louis. Johnson would eventually commit to Chicago of the Federal League before returning to the Senators. It was reported that Charles Comiskey gave Washington enough cash to keep Johnson just so he wouldn't have Johnson pitching across town. Jones said that Clark Griffith used \"improper methods\" to prevent Johnson from jumping leagues. Jones was able to lure veteran lefthander Eddie Plank to St Louis. He tried to get an agreement with the Northwestern League and others in the Pacific Northwest to have them function as a farm system for the Federal League.\nThe Terriers made an amazing turnaround in 1915. With few major changes to the roster, the team improved from the fewest wins in the league to the most, with a record of 87-67. But the Chicago Whales, who played two fewer games than St. Louis, were declared the league champions with a .566 won-loss percentage (86-66), one point better than the Terriers. Jones played the last professional games of his career, getting six at bats without a hit in seven games.\nThe Terriers played classic Jones baseball in 1915. Before the season he was quoted in The Sporting News, \"My club is going to be one which plays errorless ball, if it lies within the realm of possibility to possess such a club. I have always had a team whose fielding was close to the airtight variety, and I am trying to mold the Terriers into such an aggregation.\" From 1914 to 1915, St Louis improved from eighth in batting average to third, from seventh in on base percentage to first, from eighth in runs scored to third, from eighth in ERA to third, and from sixth in fielding percentage to second. The Terriers improved in areas that were important to playing for one run: sacrifices, walks and stolen bases. The team's offensive improvement also came in a year when scoring declined in the league as a whole. STATS estimates that Jones' team won 17 more games than expected.\nNineteen-fifteen also saw Jones' fiery nature at work in the Federal League. As the manager of the White Sox, he had regularly battled umpires. Writers commented about Jones racing in from center field so often that a path was worn in the grass. Few managers or even umpires knew the rulebook as well as Jones. As a true student of the game, he would use any rule to his advantage. He was more than willing to complain about on-field decisions. In 1908, as a response to a complaint by Jones, AL president Ban Johnson overruled a decision by noted umpire Silk O'Loughlin. Jones was upset over a play when a Sox runner was trying to steal home. The catcher stepped in front of the plate and the batter to receive the pitch and tag the runner. Jones argued this was catcher's interference. The umpires' ruling was that runner was out since the pitcher had started his windup. Jones argued the call had to be either a balk or interference. Jones was correct; the umpire's ruling would prevent the use of a squeeze play.\nThe umpires in the Federal League were not the best. In July Jones turned in his resignation over poor umpiring. After his players talked him into returning, the league dismissed the umpires in question. Later in the season, Jones was suspended for three games and fined $50 for arguing with umpires.\nBall was so thrilled with Jones' success that he offered him the team presidency. But before Jones could accept, the Federal League reached agreement with the AL and NL to fold. As part of the agreement, Phil Ball was allowed to buy the St. Louis Browns and merge the players from both teams into one. Ball took his manager and business partner, Fielder Jones, back into the American League as manager of the Browns, displacing Branch Rickey to the front office. Jones was named second vice president. His stock in the Terriers was transferred to the Browns. Jones finally owned part of a major league team.\nRickey, who had been the field manager and responsible for player acquisitions, was given a figurehead position. Ball distrusted the non-drinking, religious Rickey, yet the non-drinker Jones was his confidant. The new Browns manager would be responsible for trimming a roster that totaled 57 players. Those who were not team players were moved. Tilly Walker, one of the leading hitters on the Browns in 1915, was sold to Boston for playing at \"half speed.\" Five of the principal players from the sixth-place Browns were gone by opening day. Others would be moved early in the season. Competition for roster spots was fierce. Returning Browns shortstop Doc Lavan, a practicing physician, prescribed six months of rest for Ernie Johnson after he sprained an ankle. Johnson had been Jones' shortstop in the FL.\nFans in St Louis were eagerly anticipating the upcoming Browns season. Jones was presented a silver bat for good luck by a local boys club. He recognized the talents of one of Rickey's acquisitions. He felt that George Sisler was the best young player he had ever seen. Sisler had played 37 games at first, 29 in the outfield, and had pitched 15 games in 1915. Jones wanted to put Sisler in the outfield where his speed would be an asset but decided to put him permanently at first base. The Sporting News gave the impression that Rickey preferred Sisler as a pitcher.\nEven though 10,000 people were turned away from the season opener, 1916 did not start well for the Browns. Jones had 13 of his former Fed players on the roster. His loyalty to them hurt the team, as they clearly were not up to handling the tougher AL. The Browns soon dropped to seventh place. In June the team started to jell as Jones benched his former Terriers. For the next three months they won more games than any other team. A 21-9 August moved them into fourth place, just five games out of first. Jones even commented that the Browns were \"better than the '06 White Sox.\" But the Browns didn't have the depth, even though they started the year with double the roster of most teams. The team's winning record coincided with the insertion of Hank Severeid at catcher. The Brownies faltered in September and October, when Severeid was hurt, winning just ten of 27 games. They dropped into fifth place at the end of the season. The club jumped just one spot in the standings from 1915 to 1916, but they improved from a .409 won-loss percentage to .513, the Browns' best finish since 1908. Sabermetric analysis shows the team won 12 more games than expected.\nStill, Jones was criticized in The Sporting News as \"too hard a loser for the good of his team's spirit.\" Some players struggled playing the inside game that Jones championed. One St. Louis writer said Burt Shotton and Del Pratt \"have not been mentally tuned up to the sharp baseball played by their present manager.\" Yet the team kept playing hard to the season's end. George Sisler complimented Jones, saying he instilled a \"never-say-die spirit that wins games and makes for perfect defense\".\nJones was able to improve the team's offense, partly because Sisler became a full-time player and hit .300 for the first time. But the rest of the team showed the Jones touch. The batting average improved from eighth to fourth in the league. The Browns improved from sixth in bases on balls to first, raising their on-base percentage from fifth to second. They also improved from worst in the league to fourth in runs scored and from third to first in stolen bases. The additions of Eddie Plank, Dave Davenport and Bob Groom from the Terriers helped the pitching staff improve from fifth best to third. But the Browns finished seventh in fielding percentage for the second straight year, allowing 131 unearned runs, the second most in the league.\nThe Browns had been a spirited, feisty team in Jones' mold in 1916. The team added a few players and expected bigger things from 24-year-old George Sisler. The young first baseman would improve from a .305 average in 1916 to .353. But few others contributed.\nIn 1917 The Sporting News reported during spring training that Dave Foutz, Jones' first major league manager, was trying to orchestrate a player strike. Cardinal players hinted of a strike against manager Miller Huggins. One Browns player openly attempted to recruit players to jump to an independent league.\nJones ran a tough spring training that was compared to a military boot camp. The Browns started slowly, dropping six of the first 10 games, then won five of their next six to rise to third place. But the season started falling apart. The Sporting News correspondent accused the Browns of forgetting Jones' system. By mid-July, the team had dropped to last place.\nEarlier in July, Jones severely disciplined several players for a crap game, creating hard feelings. Plank had not wanted to return to the AL when the Terriers and Browns merged. He also regularly threatened retirement. Lavan and Shotton struggled with the fiery Jones as manager; both players were given jobs under Rickey and may have resented the way Rickey was treated by Phil Ball. Rickey had left the Browns in the off-season for the Cardinals. Jones was not one to handle his players gently. He was brutally honest with the players, much to their dislike. Baseball Magazine said Jones was \"cool, calm, calculated, mercilessly sarcastic.\"\nIn August, rumors started to surface that the Browns had been dumping games. In later years, Fielder Jones told his family that he had been approached by players about dumping games but never named names. Doc Lavan was openly questioned about several suspicious errors. A Sporting News headline on a story about third baseman Jimmy Austin read, \"Here Is One Player Who Never Quits.\" Trade rumors quickly started. Team owner Phil Ball publicly accused his double-play combination, Lavan and Del Pratt, of throwing a game against the White Sox. The players sued Ball for $50,000 for slander. The Sporting News wrote that Fielder Jones was said to be \"the one man in the whole community to go to the front for the players.\" So while Jones defended his players in the press, many became \"disaffected.\"\nThe Browns had a brief upswing, playing hard for a couple weeks after Ball's accusation, but it was too late. They finished in seventh place with a .370 won-loss percentage. In 1916 Jones' team won 12 more games than expected but one year later, the Browns underachieved by 19 games, according to STATS. There was no Jones magic touch in 1917. The Browns finished with the worst offense and defense in the league and were next to last in ERA. Ironically, the one success the team had on the field during the season came from Jones' militaristic handling. With a world war raging in Europe, baseball was eager to show its support. The Browns won an AL competition in military drills, with bats substituting for rifles. Ban Johnson gave Fielder Jones a $500 personal check for the winning squad.\nJones' three-year contract with Phil Ball was up. The Browns had hired Bob Quinn to handle personnel decisions. Jones recommended Quinn look at a player from Grants Pass, Oregon. Quinn did sign the player, Ken Williams, who, after a military commitment, would become a power-hitting star.\nFielder Jones reluctantly came back to St Louis in 1918. His wife stayed in Portland, not joining her husband for the first time while he was with a team. Jones instructed Quinn to rid the team of all players who wouldn't play the \"Jones Way.\" Lavan, Pratt, Shotton and others were traded. Military service also took several players. The Browns started slowly but had a winning record at the end of June. Jones, however, had had enough. After a game when the Browns blew a five-run lead in the ninth, Jones walked away. George Sisler says Jones left without saying a word to the players. The Browns had a 22-24 record at the time.\nSome speculated that Jones told Phil Ball he felt like quitting and was fired for being a quitter. Jones did inform both Quinn and Ball that he was leaving. Quitting must have been tough for Jones, but the stress of the game was affecting his heart. His wife didn't come to St Louis to protest Jones' desire to stay in the game. Jones had been seeing a doctor in Portland for his heart problems. The Sporting News reported in July 1917 that the doctor advised him to have surgery. He may not have wanted to leave the game, but he needed to leave. Phil Ball would send him a letter thanking him for his services and wishing him the best.\nBack in Portland, Jones led a quiet life. He and his wife took over raising their granddaughter. He scouted for the Tigers and was a regular fixture at the local ballpark. He belonged to the Elks Club, where he played cards and billiards. He also played golf and was always a competitor. Jones' competitive nature is highlighted in a spring training story. His players had found out there was a state checker champion in the area. Knowing Jones would not pass up a challenge, the players arranged a match, as a joke on Jones, not telling him the other player was a ringer. The last laugh came at the champion's expense as Jones won two of three games.\nJones was known as a dapper dresser. He once joked that he had a box of handkerchiefs like most people have tissues. He enjoyed a good cigar and played the harmonica for the team on road trips. Called \"Fee\" by his friends, he was also known as a soft touch. Many players received \"loans\" from him that were never repaid.\nAfter his death from heart disease on March 13, 1934, more than 300 people attended his funeral. His death was reported on the front page of the Portland Oregonian. Only two major leaguers attended the service: former teammate and business partner Billy Sullivan, and Carl Mays.\nJones had the respect of his peers. Connie Mack said, \"He was a fiery competitor and imparted his tremendous enthusiasm to his men. He was the highly-strung type but as cool as a lime rickey in a tight spot.\" Alfred Spink, editor of The Sporting News, called Jones the \"greatest exponent of 'inside' baseball that ever played.\"\nGeorge Stovall said of Jones, \"He ranks right with McGraw and Connie Mack. He had an inspiring personality and his teams played flashing, dashing, smart baseball.\" An article in the St. Louis Republic in 1908 said, \"Few men, in fact not any, save himself and, perhaps, McGraw, are given the art of winning championship with dub players as Fielder Jones is. Other managers must have champions to win championships for them.\" The New York Times, in Jones' obituary, had him ranked with McGraw and Mack as \"one of the three greatest baseball managers.\"\nHis ability to play the \"inside game\" made him a valuable player and manager in the dead ball era, which also allowed him to write his own contracts. He was prepared to take on organized baseball for free agency. He was able to leave the game while he was considered one of the best. He came back on his terms and, after some initial success, struggled with the changing nature of the game and players.\nSome quotes are from unidentified and undated articles in the Jones family scrapbook.

        "raw_content": "SAIS Europe Gets a New Student Lounge\nThe SAIS Observer Staff September 16, 2013 On the Front Page\nSecond-year M.A. Candidate at SAIS Europe\nThe new lounge was unveiled at SAIS Europe on Sept. 13. (Rachel Finan)\nSAIS Europe unveiled a modern, tech-friendly student lounge and study space this week after almost a year of discussion and planning by SAIS Europe\u2019s administration and SGA.\nThe new space, to be used exclusively by SAIS Europe students, will serve as both a compliment and an alternative to Giulio\u2019s Caf\u00e9 \u2014 long a cornerstone of student life \u2014 and the library.\nThe space is meant to be versatile and adaptable to students\u2019 needs, emphasized Director of IT at SAIS Europe, Paolo Forlani.\nTo that end, several modular tables on wheels allow students to rearrange the room as they wish \u2014 push them together to create a cluster of tables for group study; pull them apart for more intimate chats or solitary work; or shove them aside altogether to make space for a yoga class or a dance-off.\nThe space also boasts writable walls, several electrical outlets and eight high-speed computers with hi-definition streaming. These computers are intended for students who opt to leave their laptops at home for the day but still have multimedia needs.\nIn addition to its study-oriented purposes, the space will double as a student lounge. Two leather couches, vestiges of the former lounge, invite napping, and a 55-inch LCD TV, equipped with DTV, allows students to plug in their laptops to watch downloaded movies and TV shows in between classes.\nThe renovation also resulted in two new state-of-the art classrooms on the mezzanine level of the building.\nThe idea to update the space had been in the works for several years based on suggestions from students, but it was an earthquake that struck Italy in 2012 that provided an impetus.\nA post-earthquake inspection revealed some necessary renovations to other parts of the building. Given the slow and convoluted process of securing Italian building permits, the administration decided that it might as well take on the lounge project at the same time.\nAlthough the project has yet to be paid for in full, Drakulich estimates the total cost of the two projects will amount to about $300,000, one-third of which represents the post-earthquake structural work. SAIS drew the majority of funds from reserves and received an $80,000 USAID American Schools and Hospitals (ASHA) Grant to cover costs of the technology for the new space.\nStudent input drove plans for the renovation. After regularly observing students pushing away the keyboards at computer lab desks to make room for their own laptops, Forlani and Drakulich convened a town hall meeting in fall 2012 to learn what students really wanted and needed.\n\u201cIt was an open discussion \u2014 no talk of budgets, limits. We just wanted to hear all the ideas,\u201d Forlani said of the meeting.\nThe discussion made it clear that new technology had eclipsed what the old space offered. The new lounge aims \u201cto catch up with and keep up with rapidly changing technology needs,\u201d Drakulich said.\nTo be able to keep up, it is important that the space is adaptable, said Forlani. \u201cWe want the students to be able to make the space whatever they need as their needs change. If there\u2019s something missing, we want to know. It\u2019s their space,\u201d he added. Some ideas already on the table are to add an X-Box station and a satellite TV.\nAnd students seem eager to take him up on that. According to Irena Grizelj, SAIS Europe \u201914, \u201cIt\u2019s an ideal space to adjust to whatever it is we need.\u201d\nOn a recent visit to SAIS Europe and a sneak-peek tour of the new lounge, Eleonora Negrini, SAIS Europe \u201812, said the renovation is \u201ccertainly an improvement\u201d over the former lounge and would be \u201cmuch better for students, much more modern.\u201d\nForlani hopes that this year\u2019s class will not only benefit from but also contribute to the new space. \u201cLast year\u2019s class gave us these ideas and we hope each class will build on the ideas of the class before to make it a really evolving space and continuing process.\u201d\nDrakulich is still struggling to name the lounge, but he hopes an appropriate name will arise from the students as they make the space their own.\nPrevious Image of the Week: Ivo Rosetti\nNext SAIS DC Italian Dinner: Sept. 16 Photo Essay:",

        "title": "IEC Day 2 - Abp. Martin: 'The Church in the Modern World' | Salt and Light Catholic Media Foundation",
        "raw_content": "IEC Day 2 - Abp. Martin: 'The Church in the Modern World'\nBelow is the full text of Most Rev. Diarmuid Martin, Archbishop of Dublin. His catechesis was presented earlier today at the Royal Dublin Society arena at the International Eucharistic Congress.\nThose of us who studied theology, at least here in Ireland, at the time of the Second Vatican Council were greatly influenced by the Council\u2019s Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern Word: Gaudium et Spes. We were inspired and energised by the famous affirmation that \u201cthe joy and the hope of the men and women of our time are the joy and the hope of the followers of Christ as well\u201d.\nComing out of a particular moment of a traditional and authoritarian Irish Church culture, the newness of this challenging and exciting notion of dialogue between the Church and the culture of the modern world and of a Church identifying itself with the aspirations of humankind was almost thrilling to our young ears. Rather than telling the world what to do, the Church was to listen to what the modern world was saying to and telling the Church. The newness of this document was such that even the Council itself had to find a new term with which to accommodate it within its categorization of the documents of an Ecumenical Council: Gaudium et Spes was to be a Pastoral Constitution.\nGaudium et Spes set out to examine the deep-seated changes which were taking place in the culture of the times. It looked a rapid social change, and how that social change then brought about changes in attitudes and morals and the place of religion in society. It looked at the changes and it reflected on how these changes often were linked with new aspirations and the on-going questionings of the men and women of the time.\nIndeed the 1960\u2019s during which Gaudium et Spes was drafted and later published was a time of great change. In Europe it was the time of the 1968 student ferment. It was the decade of space exploration. Around the world many countries especially in Africa attained independence. The map of the world and the list of the members of the United Nations changed. The Council saw in much of what was happening and in the reflection it was generating the promptings of the Holy Spirit.\nThe mystery of who man is, the Council also clearly declared, \u201ctruly only becomes clear in the mystery of the Word made flesh\u201d. At the same time, the Council document began to elucidate how this profound Christian response could enter into dialogue with the changing culture, placing at its centre the dignity of each human being. That dignity was profoundly linked with a renewed appreciation of the gifts of intellect and truth and wisdom and above all the primacy of moral conscience. \u201cThe Council affirms that: \u201cDeep within his conscience man discovers a law which he has not laid upon himself but which he must obey\u201d. The voice of conscience calls men and women to love, to do what is good and to avoid evil. Conscience tells men and women inwardly at the right moment: do this and shun that. The Council affirms that only in freedom one can truly turn towards what is good.\nThe Pastoral Constitution had remarkable effects on the relations between Church and politics and Church and culture all over the world. Its effects on Irish culture were truly significant.\nWhat was it in Irish culture that attracted so profoundly the reflection of the Council on the Church in the modern world? Firstly it came at the right moment. Irish culture had been changing and there was a growing impatience \u2013 if initially only among a certain elite \u2013 with the style of Church leadership and with the dominant position of the Church in Irish society. There was a desire for change and when change came that desire spiralled.\nThe Irish Church in the 1960\u2019s had not been one marked by change. The seminary I entered in 1962, just days before the beginning of the Vatican Council, differed very little as regards the seminary rule and order of the day from that into which my professors had entered twenty or thirty years earlier. Indeed more than one of our professors had no difficulty in using for their lectures the theological notes which they had prepared many years earlier.\nTheology was changing. Ireland was perhaps little conversant with the theological and liturgical developments that had been taking place in Europe and which were at the basis of the theology of Vatican II. It was clear, however, that our very static Latin textbooks were no longer the ones needed to respond to the current of change taking place in the world. My moral theology lectures on justice dealt in the abstract with questions that could have been asked one hundred years earlier. Its responses to the realities of the changing world were defined almost in simplistic and static question and answer formulae. The seminarian was to be given safe guidelines and clear-cut answers to the challenges of the changing world.\nGaudium et Spes looked on the world in a very different way. Starting out from the dynamic concept of the dignity of the human person, it addressed also the communitarian nature of the vocation of humankind, not just as abstract principles of distributive justice but looking at the concrete interdependence of the human family, which responded both to the real changes in international relationships that were taking place and the communications revolution which began to bring those changing realities into our homes and into our hearts. Gaudium et Spes built a bridge with the realities of the day going beyond an individualistic morality towards a vision of human solidarity linked with the very mystery of the incarnation. The mystery of the family of humankind \u201ctruly only becomes clear in the mystery of the Word made flesh.\u201d\nThe Council reminded Christians of the rightful autonomy of earthly affairs, not as a total autonomy of human activity from morality and the law of God, but neither a fundamentalism which would only see science and faith as opposing each other.\nThese were revolutionary concepts. Many European countries had Christian Democratic parties in government which fostered the concept of the unity of Christians in political matters and voting for another party was almost considered betrayal. Ireland never had a political party which explicitly took on the name Christian, but the political culture was one of wide ranging synergy between Church and State.\nGaudium et Spes pleaded for new ways to foster dialogue between faith and science, between faith and culture. It admitted that this dialogue was not a one way street. The Church understood itself, and rightly so, to use a later phrase of Pope Paul VI, as \u201can expert in humanity\u201d. Gaudium et Spes, however, reminded the Church that it could and must also learn from the insights of modern science, including the human sciences and the world of politics and economy. \u201cJust as it is in the world's interest to acknowledge the Church as a social reality and as a driving force in history, so too the Church is not unaware of how much it has profited from the history and development of humankind\u201d (#44). It acknowledged that the church can be enriched and is being enriched by the evolution of social life. The dialogue between faith and culture would enable both sides to understand the human condition more deeply, and adapt mutual reflection more successfully to our times.\nThe time of the Council was time of optimism. In many ways both the Church and the world seemed going in the right direction, sharing a common concern to foster progress and equity. In my experience in international life I regularly met Christian men and women who had become real leaders in politics and international organizations and who attributed their commitment and competence to the impetus given by Gaudium et Spes.\nIreland also was changing and was becoming a more pluralist society. There was ferment in Irish political life, not in a confrontational way, but perhaps more in terms of a qualitative leap from one generation of politics to the next. Ireland was discerning its new role as a society and in the world. Ireland was re-examining the notion of its own independence. Independence was no longer looked on not just in terms of \u201cindependence from\u201d its former colonial status. There was a new understanding of \u201cindependence for\u201d, independence with a purpose. Ireland took the risk of moving from an inward-looking protectionist economy to becoming a more open economy within Europe. With that openness towards Europe came also new cultural challenges.\nIreland looked more and more confidently to its role within the world and its international political responsibilities. Neutrality took on a different meaning. In the 1960\u2019s first Irish peacekeepers began their mission. Ireland began to play an increasingly important role in the life of the United Natiosn and began to take its own independent and leadership role on such matters as the Chinese seat at the UN (where Catholic Ireland favoured the mainland communist government) or on nuclear non-proliferation where Ireland played a pioneering role.\nMany of these political innovations drew their inspiration from the Irish Christian tradition which had been strongly missionary and thus internationally focussed, especially towards developing countries. For the Irish missionaries evangelization and human advancement were never separated. The Irish missionary tradition focused especially on education and health care \u2013 very much the priorities which would be stressed by progressive devolvement theory of our own days. Irish missionary women sisters offered access to education for girls in countries and cultures where this was rare and even counter-cultural, almost revolutionary.\nThe changing vision of politics and models of social care in Ireland with time took on its own profile and slowly the role in society of the Church as an institution began to change. The extensive presence of the Church in education and health care in Ireland which had set out in a spirit of service by the Church \u2013 and indeed it was \u2013 began to be understood as a desire for control. Religious personnel involved in education and health care in Ireland began to dwindle. The costs of education and health care changed the balance of role between the State and the voluntary sector. The relationship between Church and State became more distant. Scandals damaged the credibility of the Church. Ireland had become more secularised and overall social policy had become more secularised also.\nOn the one hand some of this change can and should be welcomed as a manifestation of precisely that \u201crightful autonomy of earthly realities\u201d spoken about by Gaudium et Spes. It might also be looked at in the light of the interesting affirmations on the role of politics of the Encyclical of Pope Benedict XVI Deus Caritas Est. which he stresses that: \u201cThe Church cannot and must not take upon herself the political battle to bring about the most just society possible. She cannot and must not replace the State\u2026 The just ordering of society and the State is a central responsibility of politics\u201d. But the Pope quickly adds that the Church \u201ccannot and must not remain on the sidelines in the fight for justice. She has to play her part through rational argument and she has to reawaken the spiritual energy without which justice, which always demands sacrifice, cannot prevail and prosper\u201d.\nPut in slightly different terms Pope Benedict notes: \u201cA just society must be the achievement of politics, not of the Church. Yet the promotion of justice through efforts to bring about openness of mind and will to the demands of the common good is something which concerns the Church deeply\u201d.\nHow does the Church then foster that openness of mind wished for by the Pope, at a time when politics are increasingly secular. There are indeed those who would prefer to see the Church totally banished to the margins of the \u201cpublic square\u201d. Are there today new ways in which we can, in today\u2019s culture, render the public square a more fertile ground for the Gospel?\nThe French Canadian theologian, Rene Latourelle, spoke of \u201cpoints of insertion\u201d for the Gospel. Where are the \u201cpoints of insertion\u201d in Irish society? I remember Pope Benedict XVI on the occasion of my ad limina visit to him some years ago asked me almost the same question. He asked, \u201cWhere are the points of contact between the Church and those areas where the future of Irish culture are being formed?\u201d\nWhat then are the areas of Irish culture which seem most receptive to the message of the Gospel? What are the moments in the lives of individuals where they are most in need of the words and presence of Jesus? Are there collective moments when the Church may have something special to say to the nation? What are the characteristics of the New Ireland that make it particularly difficult to speak of God and to touch the hearts of Irish men and women?\nThe answer to many of these questions is linked with the concept of New Evangelization understood as a profound renewal in faith and in a coherent and authentic witness to that faith in the world and in the culture in which we live.\nWe have today to face the challenge of ensuring that we prepare new generations of Christians who can with competence and idealism be truly at the heart of political culture, alongside persons of different viewpoints, but fully inspired by their Christian vision. Looking toward to the future, we have to remind ourselves that, while respecting the role of politics in the broad sense, the Church has its own responsibilities to ensure the contribution of believers to the building of a strong and cohesive values-oriented society.\nIt was part of the great genius of Pope John Paul II that he never shirked from identifying the challenge to the Church to continually renew itself in order to live its mission of service. He noted that \u201cThe new evangelization is therefore the order of the day. This does not mean the \u2018restoration\u2019 of a past age\u2019. Rather it is necessary to risk taking new steps. Together we must again proclaim the joyful and liberating message of the gospel to the people of Europe... in order to create a civilization in which the true human values transmitted by the Christian faith have a permanent place\u201d.\nIn Ireland, we are confronted, for perhaps the first time, with the need for a radically renewed proclamation of the Gospel for those already baptized but who have long since not experienced a real relationship with Jesus Christ. The particular challenge in Ireland is to lead to know who Jesus is. many nominal Catholics, including some who, notwithstanding regular attendance in church, have never reflected personally on the faith they have assimilated through societal and familial influence,\nIn renewing our Church and in committing ourselves to a new evangelization, we are both being faithful to the mission of the Church and we are helping to construct a renewed society.\nThe Gospel must be preached courageously even if it does not seem to find roots in people\u2019s lives. Resignation and keeping things ticking over will never renew the Church. A divided squabbling Church will not attract young people but only alienate them. On the other hand, no one should fear the message of the Gospel. It would be falsehood to deny the contribution that that Gospel has brought to the evolution of Ireland and the contribution it can bring to create a future Ireland at the service of hope for all.\nWe have passed from the optimism of the 1960\u2019s with its dreams of progress; through years in which we have more clearly experienced what Pope Benedict calls the \u201cambiguity of progress\u201d. Who in the 1960\u2019s, when the memory was still strong only fifteen years after the end of the Second World War and its atrocities, would have imagined that further genocides and fratricidal wars of immense proportions would mark Europe and the world just twenty years later? Who in Ireland predicted the fragility of the economic situation of which the country smugly felt secure?\nProgress is not linear. Perhaps in our love of progress we too easily overlooked the full dimensions of the message of Gaudium et Spes which in fact spoke not only of the joys and the hopes of the human family, but also of the grief and anguish of the men and women of our time. The analysis of Gaudium et Spes is much more sanguine that many of its supporters wished to recognise. Gaudium et Spes unambiguously stresses the reality of sin and its effects on human activity, especially when egoism and self interest begin to dominate the pattern of relations within society.\nOur Eucharistic Congress celebrates that unique fellowship with is generated through our communion with Christ, a communion with his self-giving and redeeming sacrifice, which opens the path from death to life and which can engender new forms of communion with one another.\nCommunion is one of the great characteristics of the followers of Jesus Christ. One of the characteristics of authentic Christian living is thus the ability foster communion even amid the divisions which mark daily lives of our communities and our world. This Eucharistic Congress must help us to reflect on how a Church of communion can be a builder of communion in the wider society.\nThe Church has to find new ways of being present in a new Irish society. To do that the Church must re-discover its own sense of communion and sense of common purpose, overcoming its internal divisions in a spirit of love of the Church and in a dialogue of charity. My hope is that this Congress may be a signpost as to how our Communion with Christ in the Eucharist can generate a new understanding of our communion with each other in a modern world which is today very different to that of the 1960\u2019s and in a future which will be even more different and challenging.\nArchbishop Diarmiud Martin\nIrish Church",

        "raw_content": "Obituary: Stephanie Woehrmann loved family, the arts\nStephanie Woehrmann\nGraphic designer and musician Stephanie Woehrmann, 45, died last week after a week-long hospitalization. A passionate advocate for the arts, she was working as a production manager and section editor at the Hollister Free Lance while studying music at San Jose State University.\nWoehrmann, a Hollister resident, graduated from Gilroy High School in 1988 and had just celebrated her 25th anniversary with husband Oliver, with whom she had two children, Hannah, 19, and Ethan, 15.\nShe began working for Metro Newspapers, owner of the Free Lance, in 1993 as the principal editorial designer of its weekly newspapers in Cupertino and Sunnyvale and spent 15 years with the community newspaper group, including serving as its webmaster.\nIn 2006, she began exploring musical theater, scoring productions at El Teatro Campesino. She also left her mark at the Gilroy Center for the Arts as its administrator in 2010 and 2011, where she explored homelessness through a series of videos.\nShe was asked to return to the newspapers as Metro prepared to purchase the Free Lance. Woehrmann was excited about the opportunity to revitalize the newspapers in her two hometowns, supervising the redesigns of the publications and the modernization of their publishing systems while serving informally as a strategic advisor to the company\u2019s CEO.\nNoted publication designer Roger Black, who worked with Woehrmann on the redesigns, called her \u201ca great person, a fine designer and a real collaborator.\u201d\nWoehrmann began her musical training at the age of six. She studied classical piano, classical voice, jazz bass and jazz vocals. She began exploring visual art at age 12 and studied art until her early 20s. She worked as fine art photo technician at the Calypso Color Labs in Santa Clara in the early 1990s.\nHer collaborations with Kinan Valdez at El Teatro Campesino include Basta Basura (2006), Watt-a-Waste (2008), The Fascinatrix (2007) and Sam Burguesa and the Pixie Chicks (2009). In 2010 she created an all-female visual and performance art piece called Sisters, Spirit and Songs, writing original music and dialogue, designing the lighting and photographic set projections. She donated all money collected at the door to the theater.\nWoehrmann loved her family, her work and the South Valley communities, and she brought passion and energy to everything she embraced. Social media pages have been filled with tributes from shocked friends as news of her premature passing spread.\nFor anyone who wished to honor her memory, the family suggests a donation to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals rather than sending flowers.\nPrevious articleWingstop submits plans for location in old Starbucks\nNext articleRetired teacher embarks on 4k-mile walk",

        "raw_content": "Old, antique map of Mantua (Mantova) by Braun & Hogenberg\nMantua, Lombardie, Transpadane Urbs clarissima et antiquissima, venustissimum, in medio paludium, .. - Braun & Hogenberg, 1597.\nOld map - bird's-eye view of Mantova by Braun and Hogenberg.\nTRANSLATION OF CARTOUCHE TEXT: Mantua, famous and very old Lombardian city, situated on the far side of the Po, built in the middle of a marshland lake. Drawn true to life in the year of our Lord 1575.\nCOMMENTARY BY BRAUN: \"Mantua lies in the middle of a stagnant lake and is therefore very easy to defend. It is very big and has fine, beautiful houses, among which the house of Andrea Mantegna is not the worst, for it is decorated with all kinds of artistic pictures and there are seven painted plaques on which the triumph of the emperor is painted in such a masterly and skilful fashion that it could easily be taken for a work by Apelles.\"\nThe engraving shows a bird's-eye view of a city in the middle of a lake. In the background flat land can be seen, behind which appear the Alps. The city is linked to the mainland by bridges and dams. Mantua was founded by the Etruscans in the 6th century BC and named after Mantus, their god of the underworld. In Roman times, the city's most famous inhabitant, Virgil, was born here, in 70 BC. After the end of the Roman era, Mantua had various rulers during the migration period. From 1328 to 1708 the Gonzaga family ruled Mantua. Their residence was the Palazzo Ducale, which can be seen in the engraving directly to the right of the San Giorgio bridge (Pont de S. Iorgio). The Camera degli Sposi was decorated with frescos by Andrea Mantegna, one of the most important painters and engravers of the early Italian Renaissance. (Taschen)\n[Mantua] Mantova. - M.

        "raw_content": "Former Purdue QB Robert Marve facing disturbing allegations\nFormer Purdue QB Robert Marve is being accused of sexual assault and battery, according to a Tampa Bay Times report citing court and police records.\nMarve\u2019s ex-girlfriend Channing Tomes recently sought a restraining order and told authorities that he struck her in the face, chest and body and also stomped on her throat. Tomes has known Marve since 2016 and the two began dating in March of 2018.\nMarve, a product of Plant High School in Tampa, Fla., denied the accusations through his attorney and has not been criminally charged. His attorney described the two\u2019s brief relationship as \u201cvolatile.\u201d\n\u201c(Marve) is psychotically obsessed and told me he would kill me, has informed that even if I go away, he will find me,\u2019\u2019 Tomes said in her petition for a restraining order, according to the Times report.\nTomes claims Marve has been violent with her on multiple occasions and described specific incidents in May and July of this year. Tomes alleges that her head dented his truck during the May incident when he struck her face outside his vehicle. He allegedly continued to beat her as he drove and sexually assaulted her inside his home.\nFull details of the May incident as well as another violent incident during a July trip to Key West, Fla. can be found in the article by Bre Bradham and Tim Fanning.\nMarve was 2006 Mr. Florida Football and a Parade All-American before signing with the Miami Hurricanes. He played at UM two seasons (2007-2008) before transferring to Purdue in May 2009. He completed his college football career with the Boilermakers in 2012.",

In the early part of the century the government obtained land primarily through purchase. Later, however, land was taken by force. This paper is a theoretical and empirical investigation into the role of force in causing the change in government Indian policy and the effect of force on the outcomes of negotiated treaties. A theory of force in negotiated settlements is developed and tested in the context of American Indian treaties with the U.S. government. The conclusion is that the government used its superior military strength to reduce the prices paid for Indian land.",

        "title": "Semiconductor Engineering .:. Which Group Should Create System Models?",
        "raw_content": "Home > System-Level Design > Which Group Should Create System Models?\nWhich Group Should Create System Models?\nThe answer isn\u2019t so simple. It depends on the mindset of the people creating those models more than their background.\nJune 26th, 2014 - By: Jon McDonald\nOne of the factors affecting adoption of a system-level flow is identifying who will do the work to create the system model. For most organizations it\u2019s not something they have allocated to a specific group.\nGenerally when an ESL flow is deployed, the software developers, architects and hardware designers will all benefit from the investment, so it would be reasonable that they all contribute. A complication is that these groups will benefit in different ways. While the requirements of the different groups may not be exactly the same, there is generally enough similarity that one model can be created as a basis to satisfy all of the needs. Some evolution or enhancement of the model will naturally occur to match the specific needs, but an appropriately abstract model generally will be flexible enough to be valuable to all.\nAt DAC earlier this month I saw a very good presentation from Chris Daniels of Oracle, describing his company\u2019s implementation of an ESL flow. An interesting aspect of their experience was that the ESL design was created by the hardware verification team. In their case the verification team had the responsibility to satisfy their software developers, verify the architectural decisions and create the predictor for their UVM flow. In their organization the verification team essentially was responsible for satisfying most of the requirements for the other groups that could be satisfied with an ESL model, so it made sense for them to make the investment in creating the model.\nChris is a customer I\u2019ve worked with, and in watching his description of their experience I started wondering if the verification team was always the right group to drive creation of the system-level model. Thinking about some of the other organizations I\u2019ve worked with I realized that ESL success is not really related to the specific group implementing the model, but more dependent on the mindset of the engineers doing the work.\nTo be effective at creating an ESL model you need to be able to think about the design at the right level of abstraction. Hardware designers often run into problems in trying to be too close to the RTL implementation. The hardware engineer needs to be able to eliminate clocks and signals from their thinking in favor of transactions or messages. Software engineers generally have no trouble thinking in terms of message passing, but often get hung up on the concurrency and structure required to create a model good for more than functional verification. Performance modeling and use in a verification flow requires a model that reflects the architecture of the design. And systems engineers generally have no problem with the previous issues, but sometimes they are not as comfortable with the coding required to create the models, or stumble over the need for enough register accuracy to be appropriate for software execution.\nI have worked with engineers from all of these areas who have been very effective at creating ESL models, but I\u2019ve also seen quite a few engineers struggle to get an appropriate mindset. From what I\u2019ve experienced, the ideal engineer to create the system-level model can come from any of the discipline areas. They generally share a few common attributes. They\u2019re comfortable with C/C++. They have a solid understanding of the system architecture, both the data flow and the control flow through the system. And they have the ability to think about the communication as messages without needing to drop down to a clocked signal level and the ability to think about the function as a response to a message rather than a clocked sequence of steps. The key is for the engineer to go into the process with the right mindset and an understanding that an ESL model is not the same as any of the other models being created. With an effective model we can gain many benefits and often, as Chris found, there will be as many unexpected as expected benefits from investing in an ESL flow.\nTags: ESL Mentor Graphics Oracle system modeling",

I think I\u2019m stronger and know more about myself so hopefully I can take that into the new season but you can\u2019t prepare for everything that will happen in the season. I want to feel fresh, I feel good and the body feels good so let\u2019s see how it goes.\n\u201cThere was a bit of doubt with my neck, there were some stages when I thought, is it really worth it but people around you give you a different perspective of the game and life so they helped me through it and helped me a lot. I\u2019m here and ready to go again.\u201d\nIn Nel\u2019s absence both Edinburgh and Scotland have enjoyed a resurgence, with the former qualifying for the Champions Cup for the first time since 2014, and the latter finishing third in the Six Nations.\nCockerill has been the catalyst for Edinburgh\u2019s success, masterminding a play-off push in his first year in charge.\nAnd Nel has enjoyed working with the former Leicester and England hooker.\nHe added: \u201cThe team did well last year, they bought into a good structure and Cockers has done really well with the squad that he\u2019s got so hopefully as a team we can look forward and build on last season and go better.\n\u201cHe brings something different to the table, he played in a different era so it\u2019s awesome to have somebody like him around us. His mentality to the game, and his structures, it\u2019s up to us to buy into what he wants in the game and we saw it works, so why not.\n\u201cHe creates a good mentality among the boys and what he\u2019s done has been really good and everyone has bought into what he wants as a coach.\n\u201cIt\u2019s awesome to be back in the Champions Cup. I had a taste in my first two years and it\u2019s where you want to be. You want to test yourselves against the best players so it\u2019s awesome to be back in the competition and it\u2019s a different challenge for us as Edinburgh again.\u201d\nMitsubishi Motors is proud to support Edinburgh Rugby and welcome WP Nel as an Official Mitsubishi Motors ambassador",

        "raw_content": "Amazon Created a Hiring Tool Using A.I. It Immediately Started Discriminating Against Women.\nAmazon sign, with dude.\nThanks to Amazon, the world has a nifty new cautionary tale about the perils of teaching computers to make human decisions.\nAccording to a Reuters report published Wednesday, the tech giant decided last year to abandon an \u201cexperimental hiring tool\u201d that used artificial intelligence to rate job candidates, in part because it discriminated against women. Recruiters reportedly looked at the recommendations the program spat out while searching for talent, \u201cbut never relied solely on those rankings.\u201d\nThe misadventure began in 2014, when a group of Amazon engineers in Scotland set out to mechanize the company\u2019s head-hunting process, by creating a program that would scour the Internet for worthwhile job candidates (and presumably save Amazon\u2019s HR staff some soul crushing hours clicking around LinkedIn). \u201cEveryone wanted this holy grail,\u201d a source told Reuters. \u201cThey literally wanted it to be an engine where I\u2019m going to give you 100 resumes, it will spit out the top five, and we\u2019ll hire those.\u201d\nIt didn\u2019t pan out that way. In 2015, the team realized that its creation was biased in favor of men when it came to hiring technical talent, like software developers. The problem was that they trained their machine learning algorithms to look for prospects by recognizing terms that had popped up on the resumes of past job applicants\u2014and because of the tech world\u2019s well-known gender imbalance, those past hopefuls tended to be men.\n\u201cIn effect, Amazon\u2019s system taught itself that male candidates were preferable. It penalized resumes that included the word \u2018women\u2019s,\u2019 as in \u2018women\u2019s chess club captain.\u2019 And it downgraded graduates of two all-women\u2019s colleges,\u201d Reuters reported. The program also decided that basic tech skills, like the ability to write code, which popped up on all sorts of resumes, weren\u2019t all that important, but grew to like candidates who littered their resumes with macho verbs such as \u201cexecuted\u201d and \u201ccaptured.\u201d\nAfter years of trying to fix the project, Amazon brass reportedly \u201clost hope\u201c and shuttered the effort in 2017.\nAll of this is a remarkably clear-cut illustration of why many tech experts are worried that, rather than remove human biases from important decisions, artificial intelligence will simply automate them. An investigation by ProPublica, for instance, found that algorithms judges use in criminal sentencing may dole out harsher penalties to black defendants than white ones. Google Translate famously introduced gender biases into its translations. The issue is that these programs learn to spot patterns and make decisions by analyzing massive data sets, which themselves are often a reflection of social discrimination. Programmers can try to tweak the A.I. to avoid those undesirable results, but they may not think to, or be successful even if they try.\nAmazon deserves some credit for realizing its tool had a problem, trying to fix it, and eventually moving on (assuming it didn\u2019t have a serious impact on the company\u2019s recruiting over the last few years). But, at a time when lots of companies are embracing artificial intelligence for things like hiring, what happened at Amazon really highlights that using such technology without unintended consequences is hard. And if a company like Amazon can\u2019t pull it off without problems, it\u2019s difficult to imagine that less sophisticated companies can.\nAmazon Jobs Sexism",

        "raw_content": "Erin Heger\u00b7\nKnowing whether or not you\u2019re a morning or night person could have broader implications beyond determining what time of day you operate most efficiently.\nIn fact, an internal clock that doesn\u2019t reflect the outside world can have serious consequences for your health. Not sure whether you\u2019re an early bird, night owl or something in between?\nA simple new blood test could help you better understand your internal clock and provide a broader picture of overall health by revealing risk factors for diseases.\nResearchers at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine have developed a new blood test dubbed the TimeSignature test, which offers insight into the time in your body compared to the external world.\nThe new test requires just two blood draws \u2014 a stark difference from similar tests used previously, which required taking blood samples every hour over the span of multiple hours.\nThe TimeSignature test is also more precise than any other previous measure and can assess a person\u2019s biological clock to within two hours. The test measures 40 different gene expression markers in the blood and can be performed any time of day, regardless of a person\u2019s level of restfulness.\nThe information gleaned from the TimeSignature test is not only critical to assessing optimal times for sleeping and waking, but could also offer insights into many other health factors, such as disease risk and medication timing.\nWhat is a circadian clock?\nCircadian clock refers to the physical, mental and behavior changes that follow a daily pattern. These rhythms affect the release of hormones and sleep-wake cycles. Nearly every tissue and organ system in the body operates on an internal biological clock.\nInternal clocks can vary widely among individuals, and can also greatly differ from the external world. For example, the clock on the wall may say 9 a.m., but your body may be operating as if it\u2019s 6 a.m., meaning you may need a later start to your day than someone else whose internal clock might better align with the external world\u2019s time.\nLearning more about your internal clock can help reveal optimal time frames for sleeping, eating or exercising as well as provide a picture of overall health.\nInternal clocks and health\nUnderstanding your biological clock isn\u2019t only about getting a good night\u2019s rest. A misaligned internal clock can also impact overall health by increasing risk factors for certain health conditions and diseases.\nDisruptions in circadian rhythms have been associated with mood disorders such as depression and neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer\u2019s disease, as well as metabolic disorders, including obesity and diabetes.\nTherefore maintaining good circadian health is key to maintaining overall health. This is why the TimeSignature test is groundbreaking, as it allows researchers to easily examine the impact of misaligned circadian clocks on overall health.\nNot only does this information help reveal risk factors for certain diseases, but understanding a person\u2019s internal clock can also be useful in treating current conditions by better timing medication and dosages.\nFor example, when it comes to chemotherapy treatments, the timing of that treatment can make a difference in its effectiveness. Many drugs have optimal times for dosing, and understanding someone\u2019s internal clock is critical to getting the most effective benefits from drug treatments.\nThe best time for one person to take a blood pressure medication or undergo a radiation treatment may be different from somebody else.\nImproving internal clock alignment\nTo keep your internal clock running smoothly, experts advise establishing healthy sleep habits by going to sleep around the same time every night, and waking up at the same time every morning.\nIt\u2019s also beneficial to follow light and dark patterns by exposing yourself to outdoor light as early as possible after waking up and limiting exposure to light before bed.\nAdditionally, avoiding the use of electronic devices before bed can also increase quality sleep and keep your biological rhythm in check, as well as eating and exercising at the same times during the day.\nErin Heger is a freelance writer focusing on topics of health care policy, maternal mental health and parenting.

        "raw_content": "Racial and ethnic prejudice and discrimination have been an \u201cAmerican dilemma\u201d in the United States ever since the colonial period. Slavery was only the ugliest manifestation of this dilemma. In the 19th century, white mobs routinely attacked blacks and immigrants, and these attacks continued well into the 20th century. The urban riots of the 1960s led to warnings about the racial hostility and discrimination confronting African Americans and other groups, and these warnings continue down to the present.\nSocial scientists today tend to consider race more of a social category than a biological one for several reasons. People within a given race often look more different from each other than people do across races. Over the decades, so much interracial reproduction has occurred that many people have mixed racial ancestry. DNA evidence indicates that only a small proportion of our DNA accounts for the physical differences that lead us to put people into racial categories. Given all of these reasons, race is best considered a social construction and not a fixed biological category.\nEthnicity refers to a shared cultural heritage and is a term increasingly favored by social scientists over race. Membership in ethnic groups gives many people an important sense of identity and pride but can also lead to hostility toward people in other ethnic groups.\nPrejudice, racism, and stereotypes all refer to negative attitudes about people based on their membership in racial or ethnic categories. Social-psychological explanations of prejudice focus on scapegoating and authoritarian personalities, while sociological explanations focus on conformity and socialization or on economic and political competition. Before the 1970s old-fashioned or Jim Crow racism prevailed that considered African Americans and some other groups biologically inferior. This form of racism has since given way to modern or \u201csymbolic\u201d racism that considers these groups to be culturally inferior and that affects the public\u2019s preferences for government policy touching on racial issues. Stereotypes in the mass media fuel racial and ethnic prejudice.\nDiscrimination and prejudice often go hand in hand, but not always. People can discriminate without being prejudiced, and they can be prejudiced without discriminating. Individual and institutional discrimination both continue to exist in the United States, but institutional discrimination in such areas as employment, housing, and medical care is especially pervasive.\nRacial and ethnic inequality in the United States is reflected in income, employment, education, and health statistics. In all of these areas, African Americans, Native Americans, and Latinos lag far behind whites. As a \u201cmodel minority,\u201d many Asian Americans have fared better than whites, but some Asian groups also lag behind whites. In their daily lives, whites enjoy many privileges denied their counterparts in other racial and ethnic groups. They don\u2019t have to think about being white, and they can enjoy freedom of movement and other advantages simply because of their race.\nOn many issues Americans remain sharply divided along racial and ethnic lines. One of the most divisive issues is affirmative action. Its opponents view it among other things as reverse discrimination, while its proponents cite many reasons for its importance, including the need to correct past and present discrimination against racial and ethnic minorities.\nBy the year 2050, whites of European backgrounds will constitute only about half of the American population, whereas now they make up about three-fourths of the population. This demographic change may exacerbate racial tensions if whites fear the extra competition for jobs and other resources that their dwindling numbers may engender. Given this possibility, intense individual and collective efforts are needed to help people of all races and ethnicities realize the American Dream.\nKim Smith is the vice president of a multicultural group on her campus named Students Operating Against Racism (SOAR). Recently two black students at her school said that they were walking across campus at night and were stopped by campus police for no good reason. SOAR has a table at the campus dining commons with flyers protesting the incident and literature about racial profiling. Kim is sitting at the table, when suddenly two white students come by, knock the literature off the table, and walk away laughing. What, if anything, should Kim do next?",

Save the Children currently implementing programmes in Central South Somalia, Somaliland and Puntland.\nAs part of Save the Children\u2019s exit strategy to ensure sustainability of the infrastructure provided under BMZ funded project, WMCs will be formed in each community where a water point/source is rehabilitated or constructed. Each WMC will be equipped with a toolkit as well as a set of commonly needed spare parts and trained on how to use them to repair boreholes. One committee comprising of 7 people will be established in each community where water points have been newly constructed or rehabilitated. At the community level, these committees (WUCs) are trained to oversee day-to-day use, and basic operation and maintenance. The committee is elected through participatory processes and representative of various groups within the community. Certain members within the committee will have responsibility for maintenance and receive appropriate training and tools, while others will be responsible for implementing an agreed cost-recovery mechanism. The committee will be charged with resolving any disputes over usage and for liaison with relevant local government departments or private sector actors. Activities to strengthen community water management structures will be undertaken, with particular focus on building the capacity of WUCs to improve their effectiveness in managing the operation and maintenance of water supplies.\nSave the Children is seeking to hire a consultant to develop a public private partnership agreement for 20 days including weekends and conduct a 2days\u2019 workshop for the agreement target audience in Mogadishu. The target audience include; Deynile District Local authority representatives, members of the local community (Deynile residents) and Ministry of Energy and Water resources staff and senior officials. This partnership agreement is intended for the management and control of a borehole drilled in the district by Save the Children and Funded by Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). The agreement should be in both English and Somali versions.\nPublic Private Partnership is an arrangement between government (the public sector), both local and central, and other organizations (e.g. private sector) for the purpose of providing public infrastructure, community facilities and related services. Such partnerships are characterized by the sharing of investment, risk, responsibility and reward between the partners. The reasons for establishing such partnerships vary but generally involve the financing, design, construction, operation and maintenance of public infrastructure and services.\nOr another definition:\nA public-private partnership is a relationship that consists of shared and/or compatible objectives of an acknowledged distribution of specific roles and responsibilities among the participants which can be formal or informal, contractual or voluntary, between two or more parties. The implication is that there is a cooperative investment of resources and therefore joint risk-taking, sharing of authority, and benefits for all parties\nBroadly speaking PPP can be defined as:\nA contractual framework, or structure, where the public and private sector come together to deliver a project/service that is traditionally provided by the public sector, by means of risk transference. Whilst various structures exist, the key principle is that better value can be achieved through leverage of private sector competencies and the allocation of risks to those parties best-suited to manage them.\nPPPs have proved their worth by bringing about improvements in public service quality through shorter delivery times, better value for money and increased innovation through the use of competition across a range of infrastructure sectors \u2013 CBI 2007\nAll PPPs incorporate three key characteristics:\nA contractual agreement defining the roles and responsibilities of the parties;\nSensible risk-sharing among the public and the private sector partners, and\nFinancial rewards to the private party commensurate with the achievement of pre-specified outputs.\nSpecific Objectives of the training.\nThe Specific objective is to improve the understanding of local community committees, Daynile district local authority and MoEWR staff and senior officials on Public private partnership (PPP) concept and agreement.\nTo improve the management of public water point in collaboration with the private sector to ensure quality service and endurance of the facility.\nTo broadly discuss on sharing of investment, risk, responsibility and reward between the partners (private company, local authority and central government line ministry) as part of the PPP agreement.\nExplain into details the sections and subsections of the developed PPP framework/policy so as to ensure the audience have clear understanding of PPP.\nThe scope of work of the training will entail the following key areas:\nShare the developed agreement framework with Save the Children Senior WASH Technical Specialist for review and signoff.\nThe framework agreement should be in both English and Somali versions.\nConducting post-test for the participants and Introduction to PPP.\nTo identify what is needed to make public infrastructure sustainable and relate to the water source.\nDefine the terms \u201croles\u201d and \u201cresponsibilities\u201d of the parties under the PPP agreement.\nIdentify causes of conflict that can arise over the Public water point management and discuss mitigation measures.\nClearly explain the necessity of the private sector in the partnership.\nTo draw up a Statutory and Good Governance Compliance system and control mechanism for the private sector in the partnership agreement. i.e. temporary licensing.\nExplain the operation and maintenance of the water supply system (who is responsible for what and why?)\nExplain the rights and responsibilities of both the vulnerable or needy households and affluent households in the residential area.\nConduct a post-test for the participants to measure their improvement and understanding of PPP.\nPrepare the workshop report inclusive of key observations and recommendation from the demonstration sessions\nTraining Evaluation findings should be included in the report.\nComprehensive training report with training evaluation pre and post and training photos\nDuring the Training, participant will energize the following methodologies to ensure easy and smooth understanding\nQuestion and answer to inject the idea and understand the underlying causes and suggest solutions as conceived by the participants.\nObservations to find areas of convergence in the topic discussed and make the session a learning process by trying to engage all.\nPractical work/Group discussions whereby participants were organized in groups and distributed with flip charts to note points on topics of discussions shared in every group.

        "raw_content": "Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi 1820\npronounced: SKY-nuss teh-rih-bin-thee-FOH-lee-uh\n(Anacardiaceae \u2013 the mango family)\ncommon name: Brazilian Pepper Tree\ntree in blossom Schinus leaves is from \u03c3\u03c7\u03b9\u03bd\u03bf\u03c2 (schinos), a Greek name for the mastic tree, Pistacia lentiscus, another member of this family; terebinthifolius is botanical Latin for \u2018leaves like the (Pistacia) terebinthus\u2019 (turpentine tree).\nThe botanical name for this tree is very often given as Schinus terebinthifolius, even in official documents. This is almost certainly because people believe Schinus to be a masculine Latin noun, and therefore to require a masculine epithet, ending in -us. This is not so, as Schinus is Greek, and feminine!\nThis tree is a native of south-eastern Brazil, northern Argentina and Paraguay. It is a sprawling shrub or small tree, that can reach a height of 7\u201310 m. The branches can be upright, reclining, or nearly vine-like, all on the same tree. This allows it to thrive in all kinds of ecosystems from dunes to swamps, where it grows as a quasi-aquatic plant.\nThe leaves are alternate, to 17 cm long, pinnately compound with 5\u201313 leaflets. The leaflets are lanceolate to elliptic, 3\u20136 cm long and 2\u20133.5 cm broad, and have finely-toothed margins, an acute to rounded apex, and yellowish veins.\nflowers tree with berries The plant is dioecious, with small white to cream flowers borne profusely in axillary clusters. The fruit is a small red spherical drupe 4\u20135 mm in diameter, carried in dense clusters that may bear hundreds of berries. There is variety, Schinus terebinthifolia var. acutifolia, whose leaves are larger (to 22 cm) with 7\u201315 leaflets, and which bears pink fruits.\nAlthough it is not a true pepper (Piper), its fruits are often sold as pink peppercorns. The seeds can be used as a spice, adding a pepper-like taste to food. They are usually sold in a dry state, and they have a bright pink colour; occasionally they are sold pickled in brine, where they have a dull, almost green hue.\nThe timber does not have a significant commercial value, but in Brazil it is generally used for posts, round wood, stakes, pit props and wood pulp. It is also used as fuel, and for charcoal-making.\nberries Planted originally as an ornamental outside its native range, Brazilian Pepper has become an invasive species in many subtropical regions with moderate to high rainfall. It is common in south-east Queensland, northern NSW and along the Swan River estuary in Western Australia. It is hard to control because it produces basal shoots if the trunk is cut. The abundant seeds are spread by birds and ants. In Florida, it has spread rapidly, replacing native plants like mangroves, with thousands of hectares occupied. Its growth habit allows it to climb over understorey trees and invade mature canopies, forming thickets that choke out most other plants.\nThe tree pictured is in Picnic Bay, on the nature strip in Birt Street, outside the rubbish tip.",

        "raw_content": "We have learned a lot about the brain in recent years. Researchers continue to learn more about the brain and how it works. Some researchers specialize in finding out how we learn, in hope of improving how we teach.\nThe brain of a newborn has few connections, but children build connections faster than adults. The pace slows as they approach puberty. Children are like sponges soaking up everything they see around them. They can learn a new language much faster than most adults can. They copy things they see other people doing and saying. Children\u2019s mannerisms are often just like their parents. A parent\u2019s example is very important as is children\u2019s exposure to the behavior of peers. Children will copy what they see.\nResearchers have also learned that adults can continue to learn new things no matter how old they are, contrary to what they used to believe. As we learn something new the brain builds connections to things that we already know. Older people are now encouraged to continue to learn new things to keep their brains healthy and active.\nWhat actually happens in your brain? The brain contains nerve cells, called neurons. Each neuron has branches, lots of them, reaching out from the center of the neuron. Dendrites receive messages (or electrical signals) from other neurons. Impulses are passed along a single longer branch of the neuron, called an axon.\nEach axon is coated with a myelin covering which acts both as insulation from other cells and as a sort of grease that speeds the transmission of the electrical impulses. There are tiny gaps between the neurons which are called synapses. Neurons do not have direct contact. A neuron gathers signals from other neurons through the dendrites and sends a signal out along the axon. In addition, chemicals in the brain either stimulate or inhibit the nearby neurons.\nThis is a very simplified explanation of a very complex process. As you begin to learn a new skill, some of the neurons in your brain fire up and sensitize the surrounding neurons. With repetition of the new skill these neurons become more sensitized. They begin to group together and fire together, in effect creating a greased path. More repetition causes the neurons on this path to fire even faster. As you continue to learn and build on the new skill, your brain builds more complex connections. Eventually the skill becomes automatic so that you can do it without really thinking about it much at all. You have built a new habit.\nMore about habits and learning next week!\nReference: Sousa, David A. How the Brain Learns, 2nd Edition. Corwin Press. 2001.",

        "raw_content": "EU/USA\nToolroom | CR2/Elrow | Incorrect Music | Country Club Disco | Stashed | Bookings: alfie@redroom.co.uk Inquiries: tom@djtenova.com With fast-growing support from top-tier artists, a dedicated group of diehard fans, and a constant desire to push the envelope, Tenova is one to watch in 2019. Having the experience of a traditionally trained musician and growing up immersed in underground dance culture, the young artist has achieved an effortless grasp on dynamic music production and vivacious DJ sets alike. Recently graduating from a regional favorite in the United States to a newcomer to the international Tech House scene, Tenova has been quick to garner a set of accolades poising him for illimitable growth in the coming year. The past two years have seen a fresh coalition with Toolroom Records, culminating with his debut release \u201cThe River\u201d on the label\u2019s revered Amsterdam 2017 compilation. Instantly, the record broke into Beatport\u2019s Tech House Top 100 chart, finalizing its position at #25 among industry heavy-weights decades his senior. Likewise, the record was awarded at #2 in Magnetic Magazine\u2019s Top 15 House Tracks of October 2017. As such, it has taken little time for others to notice the noise Tenova continues to generate, with features on media outlets such as Entertainment Weekly, Dancing Astronaut, Magnetic Magazine, Earmilk, and Elektro Daily who has labeled his work as \"reminiscent of Dusky,\" and referenced him as being \"...a yet-undiscovered jewel of a young producer hailing from Pittsburgh.\" On the performance side, Tenova is no stranger to rocking crowds worldwide, continually pushing the boundaries of his performances in major markets across the globe. Being a globetrotter at heart, Tenova\u2019s gig dairy has recently seen him make appearances in destinations like London, Los Angeles, Barcelona, Las Vegas, as well as up and coming dance music hotspots in Eastern Europe. His DJ sets are globally well received and clearly in demand, a certain sign of what\u2019s to come in the near future. All things considered, it is no wonder as to why Tenova continually receives support on his growing catalogue of releases from A-list talent. With support from names such as Pete Tong, Gorgon City, Claptone and Roger Sanchez, one can see why Mark Knight has chosen him as a new favorite on Toolroom Radio, recently receiving airtime four consecutive weeks in a row and now twice achieving the time-honored accolade of Knight\u2019s own \"Killer Cut,\" his personal selection of \"hottest track in the world.\" It is not only in Europe that Tenova has personally witnessed the impact of his original productions, however. Detroit House dons Golf Clap recently took a liking to a recent Tenova original, \u201cPump It Up.\u201d The duo found it to be such a crowd pleaser that they immediately signed the record to their signature imprint, Country Club Disco. The release was not to be complete without a remix from Australia\u2019s very own Cut Snake, and has become one of the label\u2019s most popular EPs to date. The two went on to champion the record, smashing it out on tour and putting it to the ultimate test at Miami Music Week and Electric Forest alike. With House music slowly, but surely taking a firm hold of the American market, this is surely a sign of things to come. With an ever growing catalogue releases scheduled on some of the scene\u2019s hottest imprints, 2019 is shaping up to be Tenova\u2019s best yet.\nTenova\u2019s tracks\nThe River - Toolroom Radio #404 Killer Cut by Tenova\nTenova's likes\nTenova's playlists\nTenova's tracks\nTenova's comments",

        "raw_content": "Archive by Author | primusluta\nin Aesthetics, African American Studies, American Studies, Article, Digital Media, methodology, Music, Popular Music Studies, Recording, Remix, Sampling and Remix Culture, Sound Studies, Synthesizers, Technology\nI don\u2019t intend to discuss the \u201cBlurred Lines\u201d case in this post. There are plenty of folk already committing thoughts on the ruling. While the circumstances of the recent Thicke/Williams/Gaye case are not explicitly about sampling, they are indicative of the direction sample/copyright litigation can go in the future. When samples from a composition infringe upon the copyrights for the song, it is dangerous territory. Rather than focus on those dangers however, I\u2019d like to exemplify possibilities of a more open (and arguably the intended) interpretation of copyright laws, by doing something I should have done seven years ago \u2013 put out my project Heads (dropping on April 1st, 2015).\nMy position has not changed from previous writings on sample laws \u2013 transformative sampling produces original work. My intent here is to present an artist\u2019s statement on Heads that illustrates how transformative sampling and derivatives of it require broader interpretation; they should be legally covered as original compositions.\nCover art for Proto-Heads project from 2009\nI\u2019ve kept Heads in the vaults since 2007 while continuing from its artistic direction, all the while doing little tinkerings to convince myself it wasn\u2019t done yet (it was). I had been pursuing analog technologies I swore would be the finishing touches it needed, to convince myself it wasn\u2019t ready yet (it was). Then I lost 4TB of files in a quadruple hard drive killer power surge. The last Heads masters were among the 500GB that survived.\nThe project was born in response to comments made by Wynton Marsalis, dismissing hip-hop and denying its connection to the legacy of black music.\nIt\u2019s mostly sung in triplets. So what? And as for sampling, it just shows you that the drummer has been replaced by a loop. The drum \u2013 the central instrument in African-American music, the sound of freedom \u2013 has been replaced by a repetitive loop. What does that tell you about hip-hop\u2019s respect for African-American tradition? \u2013 Wynton Marsalis\nI was offended as both a hip-hop and jazz head, so I set out to produce a body of work that showed the artistic originality of sampling and tied the practice to black musical traditions.\nPrior to the analog experiments, I was modeling a series of digital Open Sound Control (OSC) instruments based on the monome, starting with a sampler but expanding into drum machines synthesizers and other noise makers. Together I called them the Heads Instruments. 95% of the composition work on Heads began with these instruments, all of which were built around the concept of sampling.\nThe title Heads, comes from the musical head, which is a fundamental part of the jazz tradition. The head is the thematic phrase or group of phrasings that signify a song; heads can be comprised of melody, harmony and/or rhythm. Jazz musicians use the head as a foundation for improvisation, a traditional form including the alternating of head and solo improvisations . Often times in jazz, the head comes from popular songs re-envisioned through improvisation in a jazz context, such as John Coltrane\u2019s famous refiguring of \u201cMy Favorite Things\u201d from The Sound of Music. In addition to being covers, these versions are transformations of the original into a different musical context. The Heads Instruments were designed specifically as instruments that could perform a head in a transformative manner.\nHip-hop attacks itself. It has no merit, rhythmically, musically, lyrically. What is there to discuss? \u2013 Wynton Marsalis\nTony Wynn\nI was a bit annoyed at Marsalis, just how much is illustrated by the opening track of Heads, \u201cTony Wynn,\u201d eponymously named after the contemporary jazz saxophonist, who, like Marsalis, feels that hip hop is not music. In it a character berates his friend for bringing up Wynn\u2019s position. On the surface the song talks trash, but musically it makes layers of references.\nFirst, the song\u2019s format (down to the title) is a nod to the Prince tune \u201cBob George.\u201d In his song, Prince parodies a character berating a girlfriend for being with Bob George. The voice of the character in \u201cTony Wynn\u201d and some of his comments come straight from Prince\u2019s song, but the work as a whole is not a direct cover of \u201cBob George.\u201d\n\u201cTony Wynn\u201d is undeniably influenced by the Minneapolis sound, that eclectic late 1970s and early 80s scene that blend of funk, rock, and synthpop, but how the track arrives there is complicated. It does contain a Prince sample, but not from \u201cBob George.\u201d The sample is played in a transformative manner, chopping a new riff different from the source material. It also includes a hit from another song, a sample of only one note, yet one identifiable as signature. The drums are \u2018played\u2019 in what could be described as the Minneapolis vibe. You can also hear a refrain that mimics yet another song. All of these sampled parts create a new head, to which I added instrumental embellishments with co-conspirator Dolphin on bass, synth, and the killer Prince-esque guitar solo.\nThe track represents a hodgepodge of Prince influences, but because those influences are so varied, none can be individually identified as the heart of \u201cTony Wynn.\u201d Furthermore, at the bridge all of the samples get flipped on each other, some re-sampled and performed anew. Nothing can be pinned down as an infringement on technicalities, without taking into account the full context of the transformation. While \u201cTony Wynn\u201d is heavily influenced by Prince, it is not a Prince song.\nThe second track on Heads,\u201dRap Rap Rap,\u201d features Murda Miles and Killa Trane. I chose its title and head to reference the 1936 Louis Palma song \u201cSing Sing Sing,\u201d made popular by the Benny Goodman Band. Coming out of the big band era, the song is closer to a traditionally composed Western standard, the heavy percussions however distinguish it. While you will find no samples of sound recordings from any version of \u201cSing Sing Sing\u201d in \u201cRap Rap Rap,\u201d it still represents the primary sample head used.\nThe opening percussive phrases are influenced by rhythmic hand games\u2014an important but often overlooked precursor to hip hop discussed in Kyra Gaunt\u2019s The Games Black Girls Play: Learning the Ropes from Double-Dutch to Hip-Hop. Here the rhythm sets the pace before charging into the head with a swing type of groove as the two featured artists, Murda Miles on trumpet and Killa Trane on sax, call out the head. What distinguishes these horns however, is that they are both sample based.\nThe song\u2019s head is still based on \u201cSing Sing Sing,\u201d but for the dueling horn parts the samples come from the recordings of Miles Davis and John. While Davis and Coltrane played together at a fair number of sessions, these samples come from two divergent sources from their individual catalogs. I chopped, tuned and arranged them for performance so that they could play in tune with the head.\nThe opening half of \u201cRap Rap Rap\u201d sees both sticking to the head with little flourishes, but at the half way mark, the accompaniment changes to a distinct hip-hop beat still firmly rooted in the head. The two horns shift here as well, trading bars in a way that nods to both jazz and rap. The phrasing of the sample performance itself mimics a rapping cadence here, bridging the gap between the two traditions.\nThe head for next track \u201cLa Botella\u201d (The Bottle), uses a popular salsa motif as the head, accentuated by a son influenced percussive wall of sound. The percussions vary from live tracked percussions to percussion samples to percussive synthesis. I performed many of the percussive sounds utilizing the Heads Instruments sequencer, which lends itself to the slightly off\u2014while still in the pocket\u2014swing.\nThe format of this particular head allowed for an expanded arrangement, through which I nod to the Afro-Cuban influence in the African American tradition, from jazz to hard soul/funk to rock and roll. Son evolved from drumming traditions that have their own forms of the head. There is a duality in these two traditions that pairs a desire for tightness with a looseness in spirit, and this tension continues into musics influenced by them. The percussions on \u201cLa Botella\u201d carry that duality. The collective drums sound as an instrument, while each individual drum can be aurally isolated.\nThe actual samples in the song come from vocal bits of The Fania All-Stars, but the true Fania mark I emulate on \u201cLa Botella\u201d is the horn section. They sound nowhere near as good\u2014let\u2019s just get that out of the way\u2014but the role they play comes directly from the feel of a classic Fania release. Could the horns actually be attributable to a single source? I doubt it, but more importantly, they operate only as a component of the song itself, placing this inspiration in a different musical context.\n\u201cSound Power\u201d fully embraces \u2018sound\u2019 as a fundamental musical object. Sounds in and of themselves can be understood as heads. The primary instrument I used on \u201cSound Power\u201d is the sound generator of the 4|5 Ccls Heads Instrument. 4|5 Ccls is an arpeggiator modeled after John Coltrane\u2019s sketches on the cycle of fifths. I tend to think of such sounds in relationship to the latter Coltrane years when he was using his instrument as a sound generator, clustering notes together and condensing melody.\nSimilarly, arpeggiators group notes into singular phrases which can be interpreted as heads. The head on \u201cSound Power\u201d does not push the possibilities to the extreme, as Coltrane did; it remains constrained within a rhythmic framework. However, it shows the power of sound as fundamental. All of the drums, percussive elements, bass and harmonies flow from the head, accentuated by heavyweight vocal chops from the Heads Instrument scratch emulator.\nThe intro to \u201cCome Clean\u201d marks a turning point in the album. The first four tracks present are technical feats to illustrate the point. \u201cCome Clean\u201d doesn\u2019t slack off. Musically this track is the closest to the \u201cBlurred Lines\u201d case; notably, other than the intro, it contains no sample. It\u2019s head, however, comes from the Jeru the Damaja song \u201cCome Clean\u201d produced by DJ Premier. I did an extensive breakdown on the technical details of \u201cCome Clean\u201d on Avanturb a few years ago; my online installation shows how (and for how long) I have been contemplating this track. But to paraphrase the sample here, the true power of music is helping the listener realize the breadth of their own existence in this universe. My use of the song is very intentional, and I deliberately change its themes for the album.\nFor \u201cCome Clean,\u201d I worked with percussionists Zach and Claudia who studied in the Olatunji line of drumming. They noted the physical timing challenges getting used to the song\u2019s unique head, but, once they locked in, the head held its own. That exemplifies the power of this means of composing \u2013 new original ideas which can push music\u2019s possibilities.\nAs an artist, I advocate for the interpretation of copyright laws so that someone cannot sue because three notes of a song appear in one they own, or because a sound from the recording the record company convinced the artist to sign over to them for pennies was repitched and played into a melody. I know that arriving to music via these methods can push the traditions further, everything copyright laws were written to encourage. If we don\u2019t change the way we think about copyright, the ability to create in this manner will be lost in litigation.\nHeads comes out on April 1, 2015\nPrimus Luta is a husband and father of three.

No question about it: \u201cStroke of Death\u201d by Ghostface and produced by The RZA.\nSupposedly the story goes, RZA was playing records in the studio when he put on the Harlem Underground Band\u2019s album. It is a go-to album in a sample-based composer collection, because of the open drum breaks. One such break appears in the cover of Bill Wither\u2019s \u201cAin\u2019t No Sunshine\u201d, notably used by A Tribe Called Quest on \u201cEverything is Fair.\u201d\nRZA, a known break beat head, listened as the song approached the open drums, when the unthinkable happened: a scratch in his copy of the record. Suddenly, right before the open drums dropped, the vinyl created its own loop, one that caught RZA\u2019s ear. He recorded it right there and started crafting the beat.\nThis sample is the only source material for the track. RZA throws a slight turntable backspin in for emphasis, adding to the jarring feel that drives the beat. That backspin provides a pitch shift for the horn that dominates the sample, changing it from a single sound into a three-note melody. RZA also captures some of the open drums so that the track can breathe a bit before coming back to the jarring loop. As accidental as the discovery may have been, it is a very precisely arranged track, tailor-made for the attacking vocals of Ghostface, Solomon Childs, and the RZA himself.\n\u201cHow to: fix a scratched record\u201d by Flickr user Fred Scharmen, CC BY-NC-SA 2.0\n\u201cStroke of Death\u201d exemplifies how transformative sample-based composition can be. Other than by knowing the source material, the sample is hard to identify. You cannot figure out that the original composition is Wither\u2019s \u201cAin\u2019t No Sunshine\u201d from the one note RZA sampled, especially considering the note has been manipulated into a three-note melody that appears nowhere in either rendition of the composition. It is sample based, yes, but also completely original.\nClassifying a composition like this as a \u2018happy accident\u2019 downplays just how important the ear is in sample-based composition, particularly on the transformative end of the spectrum. J Dilla once said finding the mistakes in a record excited him and that it was often those mistakes he would try to capture in his production style. Working with vinyl as a source went a long way in that regard, as each piece of vinyl had the potential to have its own physical characteristics that affected what one heard. It\u2019s hard to imagine \u201cStroke of Death\u201d being inspired from a digital source. While digital files can have their own glitches, one that would create an internal loop on playback would be rare.\n\u201cUnpacking of the Proteus 2000\u201d by Flickr user Anders Dahnielson, CC BY-NC-SA 2.0\nThere has been a change in the sound of sampling over the past few decades. It is subtle but still perceptible; one can hear it even if a person does not know what it is they are hearing. It is akin to the difference between hearing a blues man play and hearing a music student play the blues. They technically are both still the blues, but the music student misses all of the blue notes.\nThe \u2018blue notes\u2019 of the blues were those aspects of the music that could not be transcribed yet were directly related to how the song conveyed emotion. It might be the fact that the instrument was not fully in tune, or the way certain notes were bent but others were not, it could even be the way a finger hit the body of a guitar right after the string was strummed. It goes back farther than the blues and ultimately is not exclusive to the African American tradition from which the phrase derives; most folk music traditions around the world have parallels. \u201cThe Rite of Spring\u201d can be understood as Stravinsky \u2018sampling\u2019 the blue notes of Transylvanian folk music. In many regards sample-based composing is a modern folk tradition, so it should come as no surprise that it has its own blue notes.\nThe sample-based composition work of today is still sampling, but much of it lacks the blue notes that helped define the golden era of the art. I attribute this discrepancy to the evolution of technology over the last two decades. Many of the things that could be understood as the blue notes of sampling were merely ways around the limits of the technology. In the same way, the blue notes of most folk music happened when the emotion went beyond the standards of the instrument (or alternately the limits imposed upon it by the literal analysis of western theory). By looking at how the technology has evolved we can see how blue notes of sampling are being lost as key limitations are being overcome by \u201cadvances.\u201d\nFirst, let\u2019s consider the E-Mu SP-1200, which is still thought to be the most definitive sounding sampler for hip-hop styled sample-based compositions, particularly related to drums. The primary reason for this is its low-resolution sampling and conversion rates. For the SP-1200 the Analog to Digital (A/D) and Digital to Analog (D/A) converters were 12-bit at a sample rate of 26.04 kHz (CD quality is 16-bit 44.1 kHz). No matter what quality the source material, there would be a loss in quality once it was sampled into and played out of the SP-1200. This loss proved desirable for drum sounds particularly when combined with the analog filtering available in the unit, giving them a grit that reflected the environments from which the music was emerging.\nOn top of this, individual samples could only be 2.5 seconds long, with a total available sample time of only 10 seconds. While the sample and conversion rates directly affected the sound of the samples, the time limits drove the way that composers sampled. Instead of finding loops, beatmakers focused on individual sounds or phrases, using the sequencer to arrange those elements into loops. There were workarounds for the sample time constraints; for example, playing a 33-rpm record at 45 rpm to sample, then pitching it back down post sampling was a quick way to increase the sample time. Doing this would further reduce the sample rate, but again, that could be sonically appealing.\nAn under appreciated limitation of the SP-1200 however, was the visual feedback for editing samples. The display of the SP-1200 was completely alpha numeric; there were no visual representations of the sample other than numbers that were controlled by the faders on the interface. The composer had to find the start and end points of the sample solely by ear. Two producers might edit the exact same kick drum with start times 100 samples (a fraction of a millisecond) apart. Were one of the composers to have recorded the kick at 45 rpm and pitched it down, the actual resolution for the start and end times would be different. When played in a sequence, these 100 samples affect the groove, contributing directly to the feel of the composition. The timing of when the sample starts playback is combined with the quantization setting and the swing percentage of the sequencer. That difference of 100 samples in the edit further offsets the trigger times, which even with quantization turned off fit into the 24 parts per quarter grid limitations of the machine.\nAkai\u2019s MPC-60 was the next evolution in sampling technology. It raised the sample and conversion rates to 16-bit and 40 kHz. Sample time increased to a total of 13.1 seconds (upgradable to 26.2). Sequencing resolution increased to 96 parts per quarter. Gone was the crunch of the SP-1200, but the precision went up both in sampling and in sequencing. The main trademark of the MPC series was the swing and groove that came to Akai from Roger Linn\u2019s Linn Drum. For years shrouded in mystery and considered a myth by many, in truth there was a timing difference that Linn says was achieved by delaying certain notes by samples. Combined with the greater PPQ resolution in unquantized mode, even with more precision than the SP-1200, the MPC lent itself to capturing user variation.\nDespite these technological advances, sample time and editing limitations, combined with the fact that the higher resolution sampling lacked the character of the SP-1200, kept the MPC from being the complete package sample composers desired. For this reason it was often paired with Akai\u2019s S-950 rack sampler. The S-950 was a 12-bit sampler but had a variable sample rate between 7.5 kHz and 40 kHz. The stock memory could hold 750 KB of samples which at the lowest sample rate could garner upwards of 60 seconds of sampling and at the higher sample rates around 10 seconds. This was expandable to up to 2.5 MB of sample memory.\nThe editing capabilities made the S-950 such a powerful sampler. Being able to create internal sample loops, key map samples to a keyboard, modify envelopes for playback, and take advantage of early time stretching (which would come of age with the S-1000)\u2014not to mention the filter on the unit\u2014helped take sampling deeper into the sound design territory. This again increased the variable possibilities from composer to composer even when working from the same source material. Often combined with the MPC for sequencing, composers had the ultimate sample-based composition workstation.\nToday, there are literally no limitations for sampling. Perhaps the subtlest advances have developed the precision with which samples can be edited. With these advances, the biggest shift has been the reduction of the reliance on ears. Recycle was an early software program that started to replace the ears in the editing process. With Recycle an audio file could be loaded, and the software would chop the sample into component parts by searching for the transients. Utilizing Recycle on the same source, it was more likely two different composers could arrive at a kick sample that was truncated identically.\nAnother factor has been the waveform visualization of samples for editing. Some earlier hardware samplers featured the waveform display for truncating samples, but the graphic resolution within the computer made this even more precise. By looking at the waveform you are able to edit samples at the point where a waveform crosses the middle point between the negative and positive side of the signal, known as the zero-crossing. The advantage of zero-crossing sampling is that it prevents errors that happen when playback goes from either side of the zero point to another point in one sample, which can make the edit point audible because of the break in the waveform. The end result of zero-crossing edited samples is a seamlessness that makes samples sound like they naturally fit into a sequence without audible errors. In many audio applications snap-to settings mean that edits automatically snap to zero-crossing\u2014no ears needed to get a \u201cperfect\u201d sounding sample.\nIt is interesting to note that with digital files it\u2019s not about recording the sample, but editing it out of the original file. It is much different from having to put the turntable on 45 rpm to fit a sample into 2.5 seconds. Another differentiation between digital sample sources is the quality of the files, whether original digital files (CD quality or higher), lossless compression (FLAC), lossy compressed (MP3, AAC) or the least desirable though most accessible, transcoded (lossy compression recompressed such as YouTube rips). These all result in a different degradation of quality than the SP-1200. Where the SP-1200\u2019s downsampling often led to fatter sounds, these forms of compression trend toward thinner-sounding samples.\nSome producers have created their own sound using thinned out samples with the same level of sonic intent as The RZA\u2019s on \u201cStroke of Death.\u201d The lo-fi aesthetic is often an attempt to capture a sound to parallel the golden era of hardware-based sampling. Some software-based samplers by example will have an SP-1200 emulation button that reduces bit rates to 12-bit. Most of software sequencers have groove templates that allow for the sequencers to emulate grooves like the MPC timing.\nPerhaps the most important part of the sample-based composition process however, cannot be emulated: the ear. The ear in this case is not so much about the identification of the hot sample. Decades of history should tell us that the hot sample is truly a dime a dozen. It takes a keen composer\u2019s ear to hear how to manipulate those sounds into something uniquely theirs. Being able to listen for that and then create that unique sound\u2014utilizing whatever tools\u2014 that is the blue note of sampling. And there is simply no way to automate that process.\nFeatured image: \u201cBlue note inverted\u201d by Flickr user Tim, CC BY-ND 2.0\nPrimus Luta is a husband and father of three.

To review part one, \u201cToward a Practical Language for Live Electronic Performance\u201d click here. To peep part two, \u201cMusical Objects, Variability and Live Electronic Performance\u201d click here.\n\u201cSo often these laptop + controller sets are absolutely boring but this was a real performance \u2013 none of that checking your emails on stage BS. Dude rocked some Busta, Madlib, Aphex Twin, Burial and so on\u2026\u201d\nThis quote, from a blogger about Flying Lotus\u2019 2008 Mutek set, speaks volumes about audience expectations of live laptop performances. First, this blogger acknowledges that the perception of laptop performances is that they are generally boring, using the \u201cchecking your email\u201d adage to drive home the point. He goes to express what he perceived to set Lotus\u2019s performance apart from that standard. Oddly enough, it isn\u2019t the individualism of his sound, rather it was Lotus\u2019s particular selection and configuration of other artists\u2019 work into his mix \u2013 a trademark of the DJ.\nContrasting this with the review of the 2011 Flying Lotus set that began this series, both reveal how context and expectations are very important to the evaluation of live electronic performance. While the 2008 piece praises Lotus for a DJ like approach to his live set, the 2011 critique was that the performance was more of a DJ set rather than a live electronic performance. What changed in the years between these two sets was the familiarity with the style of performance (from Lotus and the various other artists on the scene with similar approaches) providing a shift in expectations. What they both lack, however, is a language to provide the musical context for their praise or critique; a language which this series has sought to elucidate.\nTo put live electronic performances into the proper musical context, one must determine what type of performance is being observed. In the last part of this series, I arrive at four helpful distinctions to compare and describe live electronic performance, continuing this project of developing a usable aesthetic language and enabling a critical conversation about the artform. The first of the four distinctions between different types of live electronic music performance concerns the manipulation of fixed pre-recorded sound sources into variable performances. The second distinction cites the physical manipulation of electronic instruments into variable performances. The third distinction demarcates the manipulation of electronic instruments into variable performances by the programming of machines. The last one is an integrated category that can be expanded to include any and all combinations of the previous three.\nEssential to all categories of live electronic music performance, however, is the performance\u2019s variability, without which music\u2014and its concomitant listening practices\u2013transforms from a \u201clive\u201d event to a fixed musical object. The trick to any analysis of such performance however, is to remember that, while these distinctions are easy to maintain in theory, in performance they quickly blur one into the other, and often the intensity and pleasure of live electronic music performance comes from their complex combinations.\nFlying Lotus at Treasure Island, San Francisco on 10-15-2011, image by Flickr User laviddichterman\nFor example, an artist who performs a set using solely vinyl with nothing but two turntables and a manual crossfading mixer, falls in the first distinction between live electronic music performances. Technically, the turntables and manual crossfading mixer are machines, but they are being controlled manually rather than performing on their own as machines. If the artist includes a drum machine in the set, however, it becomes a hybrid (the fourth distinction), depending on whether the drum machine is being triggered by the performer (physical manipulation) or playing sequences (machine manipulation) or both. Furthermore, if the drum machine triggers samples, it becomes machine manipulation (third distinction) of fixed pre-recorded sounds (first distinction) If the drum machine is used to playback sequences while the artist performs a turntablist routine, the turntable becomes the performance instrument while the drum machine holds as a fixed source. All of these relationships can be realized by a single performer over the course of a single performance, making the whole set of the hybrid variety.\nWhile in practice the hybrid set is perhaps the most common, it\u2019s important to understand the other three distinctions as each of them comes with their own set of limitations which define their potential variability. Critical listening to a live performance includes identifying when these shifts happen and how they change the variability of the set. Through the combination their individual limitations can be overcome increasing the overall variability of the performance. One can see a performer playing the drum machine with pads and correlate that physicality of it with the sound produced and then see them shift to playing the turntable and know that the drum machine has shifted to a machine performance. In this example the visual cues would be clear indicators, but if one is familiar with the distinctions the shifts can be noticed just from the audio.\nThis blending of physical and mechanical elements in live music performance exposes the modular nature of live electronic performance and its instruments. teaching us that the instruments themselves shouldn\u2019t be looked at as distinction qualifiers but rather their combination in the live rig, and the variability that it offers. Where we typically think of an instrument as singular, within live electronic music, it is perhaps best to think of the individual components (eg turntables and drum machines) as the musical objects of the live rig as instrument.\nFlying Lotus at the Echoplex, Los Angeles, Image by Flickr User sunny_J\nPercussionists are a close acoustic parallel to the modular musical rig of electronic performers. While there are percussion players who use a single percussive instrument for their performances, others will have a rig of component elements to use at various points throughout a set. The electronic performer inherits such a configuration from keyboardists, who typically have a rig of keyboards, each with different sounds, to be used throughout a set. Availing themselves of a palette of sounds allows keyboardists to break out of the limitations of timbre and verge toward the realm of multi-instrumentalists. For electronic performers, these limitations in timbre only exist by choice in the way the individual artists configure their rigs.\nFrom the perspective of users of traditional instruments, a multi-instrumentalist is one who goes beyond the standard of single instrument musicianship, representing a musician well versed at performing on a number of different instruments, usually of different categories. In the context of electronic performance, the definition of instrument is so changed that it is more practical to think not of multi-instrumentalists but multi-timbralists. The multi-timbralist can be understood as the standard in electronic performance. This is not to say there are not single instrument electronic performers, however it is practical to think about the live electronic musician\u2019s instrument not as a singular musical object, but rather a group of musical objects (timbres) organized into the live rig. Because these rigs can be comprised of a nearly infinite number of musical objects, the electronic performer has the opportunity to craft a live rig that is uniquely their own. The choices they make in the configuration of their rig will define not just the sound of their performance, but the degrees of variability they can control.\nBecause the electronic performer\u2019s instrument is the live rig comprised of multiple musical objects, one of the primary factors involved in the configuration of the rig is how the various components interact with one another over the time dependent course of a performance. In a live tape loop performance, the musician may use a series of cassette players with an array of effects units and a small mixer. In such a rig, the mixer is the primary means of communication between objects. In this type of rig however, the communication isn\u2019t direct. The objects cannot directly communicate with each other, rather the artist is the mediator. It is the artist that determines when the sound from any particular tape loop is fed to an effect or what levels the effects return sound in relation to the loops. While watching a performance such as this, one would expect the performer to be very involved in physically manipulating the various musical objects. We can categorize this as an unsynchronized electronic performance meaning that the musical objects employed are not locked into the same temporal relations.\nBig Tape Loops, Image by Flickr User choffee\nThe key difference between an unsynchronized and s synchronized performance rigs is the amount of control over the performance that can be left to the machines. The benefit of synchronized performance rigs is that they allow for greater complexity either in configuration or control. The value of unsynchronized performance rigs is they have a more natural and less mechanized feel, as the timing flows from the performer\u2019s physical body. Neither could be understood as better than the other, but in general they do make for separate kinds of listening experiences, which the listener should be aware of in evaluating a performance. Expectations should shift depending upon whether or not a performance rig is synchronized.\nThis notion of a synchronized performance rig should not only be understood as an inter-machine relationship. With the rise of digital technology, many manufacturers developed workstation style hardware which could perform multiple functions on multiple sound sources with a central synchronized control. The Roland SP-404 is a popular sampling workstation, used by many artists in a live setting. Within this modest box you get twelve voices of sample polyphony, which can be organized with the internal sequencer and processed with onboard effects. However, a performer may choose not to utilize a sequencer at all and as such, it can be performed unsynchronized, just triggering the pads. In fact, in recent years there has been a rise of drum pad players or finger drummers who perform using hardware machines without synchronization. Going back to our three distinctions a performance such as this would be a hybrid of physical manipulation of fixed sources with the physical manipulation of an electronic instrument. From this qualification, we know to look for extensive physical effort in such performances as indicators of the the artists agency on the variable performance.\nNow that we\u2019ve brought synchronization into the discussion it makes sense to talk about what is often the main means of communication in the live performance rig \u2013 the computer. The ultimate benefit of a computer is the ability to process a large number of calculations per computational cycle. Put another way, it allows users to act on a number of musical variables in single functions. Practically, this means the ability to store, organize recall and even perform a number of complex variables. With the advent of digital synthesizers, computers were being used in workstations to control everything from sequencing to the patch sound design data. In studios, computers quickly replaced mixing consoles and tape machines (even their digital equivalents like the ADAT) becoming the nerve center of the recording process. Eventually all of these functions and more were able to fit into the small and portable laptop computer, bringing the processing power in a practical way to the performance stage.\nFlying Lotus and his Computer, All Tomorrow\u2019s Parties 2011, Image by Flickr User jaswooduk\nA laptop can be understood as a rig in and of itself, comprised of a combination of software and plugins as musical objects, which can be controlled internally or via external controllers. If there were only two software choices and ten plugins available for laptops, there would be over seven million permutations possible. While it is entirely possible (and for many artists practical) for the laptop to be the sole object of a live rig, the laptop is often paired with one or more controllers. The number of controllers available is nowhere near the volume of software on the market, but the possible combinations of hardware controllers take the laptop + controller + software combination possibilities toward infinity. With both hardware and software there is also the possibility of building custom musical objects that add to the potential uniqueness of a rig.\nUnfortunately, quite often it is impossible to know exactly what range of tools are being utilized within a laptop strictly by looking at an artist on stage. This is what leads to probably the biggest misnomer about the performing laptop musician. As common as the musical object may look on the stage, housed inside of it can be the most unique and intricate configurations music (yes all of music) has ever seen. The reductionist thought that laptop performers aren\u2019t \u201cdoing anything but checking email\u201d is directly tied to the acousmatic nature of the objects as instruments. We can hear the sounds, but determining the sources and understanding the processes required to produce them is often shrouded in mystery. Technology has arrived at the point where what one performs live can precisely replicate what one hears in recorded form, making it easy to leap to the conclusion that all laptop musicians do is press play.\nIndeed some of them do, but to varying degrees a large number of artists are actively doing more during their live sets. A major reasons for this is that one of the leading Digital Audio Workstations (DAW) of today also doubles as a performance environment. Designed with the intent of taking the DAW to the stage, Ableton Live allows artists to have an interface that facilitates the translation of electronic concepts from the studio to the stage. There are a world of things that are possible just by learning the Live basics, but there\u2019s also a rabbit hole of advanced functions all the way to the modular Max for Live environment which lies on the frontier discovering new variables for sound manipulation. For many people, however, the software is powerful enough at the basic level of use to create effective live performances.\nSample Screenshot from a performer\u2019s Ableton Live set up for an \u201cexperimental and noisy performance\u201d with no prerecorded material, Image by Flickr User Furibond\nIn its most basic use case, Ableton Live is set up much like a DJ rig, with a selection of pre-existing tracks queued up as clips which the performer blends into a uniform mix, with transitions and effects handled within the software. The possibilities expand out from that: multi-track parts of a song separated into different clips so the performer can take different parts in and out over the course of the performance; a plugin drum machine providing an additional sound source on top of the track(s), or alternately the drum machine holding a sequence while track elements are laid on top of it. With the multitude of plugins available just the combination of multi-track Live clips with a single soft synth plugin, lends itself to near infinite combinations. The variable possibilities of this type of set, even while not exploiting the breadth of variable possibilities presented by the gear, clearly points to the artist\u2019s agency in performance.\nWithin the context of both the DJ set and the Ableton Live set, synchronization plays a major role in contextualization. Both categories of performance can be either synchronized or unsynchronized. The tightest of unsynchronized sets will sound synchronized, while the loosest of synchronized sets will sound unsynchronized. This plays very much into audience perception of what they are hearing and the performers\u2019 choice of synchronization and tightness can be heavily influenced by those same audience expectations.\nA second performance screen capture by the same artist, this time using pre-recorded midi sequences, Image by Flickr User Furibond\nA techno set is expected to maintain somewhat of a locked groove, indicative of a synchronized performance. A synchronized rig either on the DJ side (Serato utilizing automated beat matching) or on the Ableton side (time stretch and auto bpm detection sync\u2019d to midi) can make this a non factor for the physical performance, and so listening to such a performance it would be the variability of other factors which reveals the artist\u2019s control over the performance. For the DJ, the factors would include the selection, transitions and effects use. For the Ableton user, it can include all of those things as well as the control over the individual elements in tracks and potentially other sound sources.\nOn the unsychronized end of the spectrum, a vinyl DJ could accomplish the same mix as the synchronized DJ set but it would physically require more effort on their part to keep all of the selections in time. This would mean they might have to limit exerting control on the other variables. An unsychronized Live set would be utilizing the software primarily as a sound source, without MIDI, placing the timing in the hands of the performer. With the human element added to the timing it would be more difficult to produce the machine-like timing of the other sets. This doesn\u2019t mean that it couldn\u2019t be effective, but there would be an audible difference in this type of set compared to the others.\nWhat we\u2019ve established is that through the modular nature of the electronic musician\u2019s rig as an instrument, from synthesizer keyboards to Ableton Live, every variable consideration combines to produce infinite possibilities. Where the trumpet is limited in timbre, range and dynamics, the turntable is has infinite timbres; the range is the full spectrum of human hearing; and the dynamics directly proportional to the output. The limitations of the electronic musician\u2019s instrument appear only in electrical current constraints, processor speed limits, the selection of components and the limitations of the human body.\nFlying Lotus at Electric Zoo, 2010, Image by Flickr User TheMusic.FM\nWithin these constraints however, we have only begun touching the surface of possibilities. There are combinations that have never happened, variables that haven\u2019t come close to their full potential, and a multitude of variables that have yet to be discovered. One thing that the electronic artist can learn from jazz toward maximizing that potential is the notion of play, as epitomized with jazz improvisation. For jazz, improvisation opened up the possibilities of the form which impacted, performance and composition. I contend that the electronic artist can push the boundaries of variable interaction by incorporating the ability to play from the rig both in their physical performance and giving the machine its own sense of play. Within this play lie the variables which I believe can push electronic into the jazz of tomorrow.\nFeatured Image by Flickr User Juha van \u2018t Zelfde\nPrimus Luta is a husband and father of three.

That's all we're talking about right now,'' McCarthy said on Monday, a day after a 31-17 loss to the New England Patriots.\n''We improved as a football team the last two weeks, but you have to play your best football coming down the stretch. We're not playing to the level we need to play in the fourth quarter.''\nIn the final seven minutes of last week's 29-27 loss at the Los Angeles Rams, the Packers failed to extend a 27-26 lead, had a bad punt, gave up the go-ahead field goal and fumbled the ensuing kickoff.\nOn the first play of the fourth quarter against the Patriots, the Packers were driving into scoring position when running back Aaron Jones fumbled.\nThe Patriots used a pass from receiver Julian Edelman to running back James White to set up the go-ahead touchdown, forced the Packers to punt, then added an insurance touchdown.\nNot only did the Packers lose the game, but they lost ground in the NFC North to Chicago (5-3), which routed Buffalo for its second consecutive win, and Minnesota (5-3-1), which beat Detroit for its fourth win in five games.\nAfter hosting Miami (5-4), Green Bay goes back on the road to face Seattle (4-4) and Minnesota.\n''The games in November are really where teams historically start to separate one way or the other,'' McCarthy said. ''Our focus is really on our self-scout and things we've been working on. The last two weeks, we're not finishing games.''\nThe problems run across all three phases. Defensively, the Packers have failed to get a takeaway the past two weeks.\nOn special teams, there was Ty Montgomery's fumble on the kickoff return against the Rams and two penalties against the Patriots.\nOn offense, Green Bay has run a total of 22 plays in the fourth quarter the past two weeks. Against the Patriots, the fourth quarter started with a fumble, continued with a three-and-out and ended with a fourth-down failure.\n''We're not hitting on all cylinders,'' quarterback Aaron Rodgers said. ''We're hurting ourselves with negative-yardage plays and missed throws and turnovers at the wrong time and not being on the same page too many times, whether I'm missing a throw or we're not in the spot I think we're going to be at, it's happening in the worst times. When we have to play our best in those crunch times, we haven't been playing our best.''\nTo get on track, the Packers are going to have to play through some injuries. Right tackle Bryan Bulaga (knee), safety Kentrell Brice (knee), cornerback Kevin King (hamstring) and linebacker Blake Martinez (ankle) were knocked out of the game by injuries.\nMartinez, who was injured when he stepped on the ankle of Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, returned for the final couple of series.\n''I pride myself on being a tough guy and I didn't want to leave my team,'' Martinez said.\n''I knew if I could run straight and do certain things, I could go out there and finish the game.''\nAccording to McCarthy, King will be ''hard pressed'' to be ready to face the Dolphins. Bulaga, who's suffered major injuries to both knees, avoided a significant injury and could be back for Sunday. Receiver Geronimo Allison might need surgery after suffering a groin injury at Thursday's practice.",

Both teams will be desperate to get wins after disappointing performances by them in their previous games.\nChelsea had a horrible transfer window and that is something that has not made the fans happy. Giroud was the only notable addition to the side and it looks like Conte\u2019s attitude towards Diego Costa is likely to cost the club big. Playing against Watford will be a chance for Chelsea to get a much-needed win since they will be under pressure to stay in the top 4 with Arsenal looking dangerous thanks to their new signings.\nOn the other side of the coin, Watford will not be happy with how the season is turning out. This is a side that started this campaign very well but the team has fallen away and they need to be careful to ensure that they don\u2019t end up in a relegation battle. Last week the Hornets failed to beat a struggling Stoke City side and they will need to improve drastically if they wish to get anything out of this game against Chelsea.\nWith all that in mind, I am going to predict that Chelsea will win this game. That being said, I am not suggesting betting on the Blues since we are not getting the right price and it is not worth it. The best bet is the under 2.5 goals since Watford have been having low scoring games while Chelsea also lacks goals.\n2/4/2018, 8:13 AM (EST) 12/16/2018, 7:45 PM (EST)",

Photographs copyright as noted.\nThe part of the Armenian vocabulary that is inherited from the Indo-European protolanguage is notoriously limited, variously estimated to include between 450 and 700 stems. Otherwise, the lexicon is dominated by etymologically obscure elements and an impressive amount of Middle Iranian loanwords, reflecting the centuries of Iranian political dominance. In particular the Parthian loans, introduced during the Arsacid dynasty (247 BC-224 AD), have left their mark on the Classical Armenian language, attested from the early 5th century, to a similar extent as Old French on English or Low German on Danish, so that linguists until the late 19th century still considered Armenian an aberrant Iranian dialect rather than an independent branch of the Indo-European family. The other main sources of loanwords, Syriac and Greek, are intimately connected with the introduction of Christianity around 300 and hence mainly restricted to the specific word fields of religion and philosophy. Obviously, this state of affairs also affects the textile vocabulary where the impact of Iranian language and culture can hardly be overestimated. Thus, it is quite natural that the Iranian superstrate dominates the lexicon pertaining to advanced textile production, clothing, fashion and ornaments, while on the other hand the core of inherited terms refers to basic products and techniques such as fleece and wool, spinning and weaving. The basis of the present lexical study is the classical language, mainly as attested in the oldest text, the Bible translation from around 410.\nAncient History, Greek and Roman through Late Antiquity Commons, Art and Materials Conservation Commons, Classical Archaeology and Art History Commons, Classical Literature and Philology Commons, Fiber, Textile, and Weaving Arts Commons, Indo-European Linguistics and Philology Commons, Jewish Studies Commons, Museum Studies Commons, Near Eastern Languages and Societies Commons, Other History of Art, Architecture, and Archaeology Commons\nLink to complete volume in Zea Books",

        "raw_content": "Special Teams Injuries Could Help Shape Initial 53-Man Roster\nIf there is one thing that every team absolutely wants to avoid during the preseason, it\u2019s injuries, but it\u2019s virtually impossible to avoid them. Every team is afflicted with injuries at some point, and the Pittsburgh Steelers have been no exception. Injuries to special teams players in the past couple of weeks, in fact, may have implications on the 53-man roster.\nA foot injury suffered by Anthony Chickillo added to the confusion. While head coach Mike Tomlin did not mention him after the game, it would not be the first time that he glossed over an injury initially deemed not serious because he didn\u2019t have enough information to go on.\nFullback Roosevelt Nix has missed the past three preseason games, and is dealing with some sort of injury, though it has never been made clear the nature or seriousness of the injury. But he is counted on to be a core special teams player this year after coming on during his first season.\nShamarko Thomas, the Steelers\u2019 best gunner on punt coverage units, sustained a hamstring injury, and it is unclear whether or not he will be ready for the season opener. Remember, Ross Ventrone got injured a while ago already.\nThe Steelers lost a number of important members of their special-teams units over the course of free agency, which only makes it all the more important that they shape their 53-man roster with players that they can count on to contribute, and to do so well.\nWe saw last night against the Panthers with their leaky punt coverage unit what a game can look like if the quality of special teams is ignored. I think this fact hurts the chances of players like Tyler Matakevich to make the team, who is competing against two players who are more experienced and prepared to be a day-one contribute on special teams.\nWith Ventrone long gone and Thomas ailing\u2014and little depth at cornerback\u2014it would make sense that somebody like Jordan Dangerfield could finally make the 53-man roster, in his fourth season of trying. He spent all of last season on the practice squad, but could at least make the opening-day roster this time due to injuries.\nIf there is to be a fifth cornerback, and it comes from within the Steelers\u2019 75-man roster, it would figure to be Al-Hajj Shabazz, who has been the biggest contributor on special teams in the last two games from that group, or Montell Garner, who has also seen his contributions.\nA sixth wide receiver could be an option. A darkhorse option could be wide receiver Marcus Tucker, who has done well as a jammer. But the more likely addition would be Cobi Hamilton, who has also put together quality snaps as a jammer, and has also shown himself to be the better offensive player. He was given a crack at returning kickoffs against the Panthers.\nAs it almost always the case, there are last-minute circumstances influencing personnel decisions, which should be a reminder that the 53-man roster is never static, but fluid, even on opening day.\nRelated Items:Al-Hajj Shabazz, Anthony Chickillo, Cobi Hamilton, Jordan Dangerfield, Marcus Tucker, Mike Tomlin, Montell Garner, Roosevelt Nix, Ross Ventrone, Shamarko Thomas, Steelers, Tyler Matakevich\nSteelers 2019 Free Agents Analysis: OLB Anthony Chickillo \u2013 Unrestricted",

There is also an Adult Sunday School in the parish hall afterwards. It's pretty easy to slide in there after the service with a cup of coffee in hand.\nAs we said before, there is an Adult Sunday School after the 8 am service. It's from 9 am to 10 am. We have a choir member who makes sure we stop on time - every time. We usually cover the gospel reading for that Sunday although the Holy Spirit sometimes directs off that topic onto other discussions.\nThe 10:30 am Service\nThis service has music with our choir in the loft. The services are a bit longer and end at about 11:50 am. Our music is a mix of traditional Episcopal hymns, African American gospel, and contemporary Christian music. Both our services are great!\nHow Do I Get to St. Philip's?\nWe are located in Richmond's Northside neighborhood, more accurately, Battery Park. We are at 2900 Hanes Ave. which is located at the corner of Hanes and Essex Ave. Once you are there, we have doors at both the Hanes and Essex Avenues.\nClick the Google map below to find directions.\nWe only have on-street parking. However, you rarely ever have to park more than a block away. If you want to park on Hanes Ave, you will probably have to parallel park. If that's not your style, we recommend parking on Essex Ave. It's a lot easier to find a parking spot without needed to do the parallel park. You can see the map below to see our recommended parking areas.\nWe are a typical Episcopal church but we're a little different than other Episcopal churches in Richmond. We have the \"smells and bells\" along with a fondness for liturgical vestments and an adherence to the Book of Common Prayer. However, we know our world is changing and we are discerning how to adapt, as the Church has always done, to the fast-changing culture of our day. We sing a mix of centuries old European hymns, traditional black spirituals, and contemporary spiritual music. You will hear preaching that can be pastoral and comforting. You will also hear preaching that is provocative and challenging.\nFirst and foremost, everyone is welcome. We know the welcoming, accepting nature of Jesus and try to emulate that same spirit with everyone we encounter - regardless of your beliefs or background. We are honored to have you here and our worship is deeper because of your presence. Please do not feel like you have to dress up - wear whatever clothing is comfortable for you. Most folks here dress up but you will find our deacon in Dockers on Sundays and a t-shirt and jeans most other days.",

        "raw_content": "Home Community Organizations JetBlue Foundation, Black Aerospace Professionals to Introduce Nearly 200 Students to Careers...\nJetBlue has announced a collaborative initiative between the JetBlue Foundation and the Organization of Black Aerospace Professionals (OBAP) to introduce aviation careers to students traditionally under-represented in the field. This summer both organizations are working together to increase awareness of aviation-related careers through hands-on learning for minority students and girls, ages 14-18.\nStudents will learn directly from pilots and other aviation professionals at JetBlue\u2019s airports, hangars and flight training centers in Boston, Mass.; Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Long Beach/Los Angeles, Calif.; New York, N.Y.; Orlando, Fla.; San Juan, Puerto Rico; and the U.S. Virgin Islands.\nOBAP has facilitated the Aviation Career Education (ACE Academy) program for several years. With the help of a grant from the JetBlue Foundation, OBAP is able to bring the program to additional cities this year, introducing even more students to careers above and below the wing and in the airline\u2019s support centers.\nNearly 200 students across JetBlue\u2019s six focus cities and the U.S. Virgin Islands will be introduced to aviation. JetBlue pilots volunteer their time to coordinate these initiatives. In fact, many of the pilot coordinators and advisors were once students in ACE Academy initiatives and credit the program as the spark that ignited their interest in aviation.\n\u201cMany students are often discouraged from even dreaming about careers in the cockpit,\u201d said Eric Poole, assistant chief pilot at JetBlue and director of the JetBlue Foundation/OBAP ACE Academy initiative. \u201cThe key is access. OBAP and the JetBlue Foundation are working hard to increase access by introducing aviation to students, starting with a strong STEM base, as early as possible. We\u2019re trying to add diversity to the future talent pipeline.\u201d\nThe JetBlue Foundation is a STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education-focused entity that furthers its efforts to place aviation top-of-mind as a career choice for students. OBAP is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the encouragement and advancement of minorities in all aviation and aerospace careers. The JetBlue Foundation and OBAP are both committed to developing the next generation of aviators and doing their part to help diversify the aviation field.\nAccording to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, currently 93 percent of aircraft pilots and flight engineers are white, and African-Americans only make up three percent of airline pilots. Yet African-Americans account for 13 percent of the U.S. population. Additionally, only seven percent of U.S. pilots are women, per Women in Aviation International and FAA\u2019s Civil Airmen Statistics. The JetBlue Foundation\u2019s mission is to introduce students from traditionally underserved communities to STEM and aviation and help increase these numbers.\n\u201cWe are excited to have the sponsorship of JetBlue and the JetBlue Foundation,\u201d said Carl Osborne, National ACE Program Director, OBAP. \u201cThe collaboration with JetBlue in the Caribbean is significant. The San Juan ACE Academy is being held at Inter-American University School of Aeronautics where students will be exposed to the college environment throughout the week. Over the years there [have] been several ACE students who have matriculated to university here. In addition to the JetBlue Gateway program at Inter-American, OBAP\u2019s ACE Academy is a natural pipeline to exposure and careers in aerospace and aviation. We are thrilled for the growth of this program.\u201d\nThe JetBlue Foundation/OBAP ACE Academy schedule includes:\n\u25cf New York, July 9 \u2013 13, 2018\n\u25cf Orlando, Fla., July 9 \u2013 13, 2018\n\u25cf Fort Lauderdale, Fla., July 9 \u2013 11, 2018\n\u25cf San Juan, Puerto Rico, July 9 \u2013 13, 2018\n\u25cf St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands, July 9\u2013 13, 2018\n\u25cf Boston, July 23 \u2013 26, 2018\n\u25cf Long Beach/Los Angeles, July 23-26, 2018\nEach ACE Academy includes a curriculum complete with:\n\u25cf Presentations by aviation pioneers such as those from the Tuskegee Airman Experience, and aviation professionals from a wide range of industry careers and airlines\n\u25cf Special field trips with hands-on flight training from pilots and aviation professionals, certified FAA Flight Instructors and more\n\u25cf A program completely run by pilots and other volunteers\nAdmission is offered to high school students, ages 14-18 years old who have an interest in learning about aviation. Applicants are competitively ranked based on cumulative GPA and an essay portion.\nFor more information, interested organizations can visit www.jetbluefoundation.org/grants. Grant recipients in Puerto Rico will be announced in fall 2018.\nLater this summer, JetBlue will serve as a sponsor of the Pioneers Breakfast and Recruiting Fair being held at OBAP\u2019s 42nd Annual Convention & Career Expo in Houston, TX. For more information on OBAP, visit OBAP.org.\nBeyond just grants, the JetBlue Foundation provides in-kind support, mentoring, internships and much more to make a difference for the next generation of aviators, engineers, dispatchers, schedulers, aircraft mechanics and pilots.\nOver the past five years, the Foundation has built ongoing relationships with nearly 40 aviation and STEM-focused programs and provided more than $750,000 in grants to help these programs take off and soar.\nThe JetBlue Foundation is currently accepting applications for the next round of grants.

        "raw_content": "Home News Local news Rules Committee OKs Two Nominees for Unified Horse Racing Commission\nRules Committee OKs Two Nominees for Unified Horse Racing Commission\nHorses race at St. Croix\u2019s Randall \u2018Doc\u2019 James Racetrack. (File photo)\nMembers of the Senate Rules and Judiciary Committee voted favorably on two of Gov. Kenneth Mapp\u2019s nominees to a recently unified territorial horse racing commission Friday.\nIf approved by the full Senate, Henry Eugene Schjang, a former inspector for the V.I. Casino Control Commission, and Ronald A. Phillips, a chemical engineer who said he has been involved with horse racing on St. Croix since the late 1960s, will join the V.I. Horse Racing Commission.\nThe territory\u2019s two district horse racing commissions were merged into one in December 2017 as part of a Mapp-proposed plan to better regulate and capitalize off the sport in the Virgin Islands. Around the same time, an anti-doping law was signed in the V.I. that brings the territory in line with other jurisdictions where horse racing is popular.\nThe new laws governing horse racing augment a franchise agreement ratified in 2016 with local casino operator VIGL, who has pledged $27 million to expand and modernize the racetracks on St. Thomas and St. Croix. The territory also changed its laws to allow slot machines at the St. Thomas track and gave VIGL the right to open slot machine parlors at the St. Thomas track and take over the parlor at the St. Croix track.\nThe V.I. Horse Racing Commission, whose duty it is to create and enforce regulations for the sport, sits under the Department of Sports, Parks and Recreation and will have eight members once all its vacancies are filled. In June, Mapp nominated six potential members to the commission: Schjang, Phillips, Ian Samuel, Sheldon Turnbull, Jay Watson and Dr. Laura Palminteri.\nAt a hearing on St. Croix Friday, the nominations of Schjang and Phillips were vetted, with little controversy arising. Senators said they found both nominees to be qualified and prepared. Watson\u2019s nomination was also on the agenda for the day, but he was not present and the matter was not brought to the floor.\nOf the two nominees, Scjhang, who has a B.A. in business administration and is currently a police department recruiter, claimed to know less about horse racing, although he said he had family members who worked in the industry. He said his 17 years spent as a casino commission inspector would be an asset on the commission since the territory\u2019s new \u2018racinos\u2019 will include expanded electronic gambling.\nSchjang said one of the first things he would want to establish is \u201ca public awareness campaign on the dangers of gambling addiction and where to get help.\u201d He said this should be implemented and operational before the first race at the new tracks.\nHe also said his business and accounting background will help with the financial reporting on the sport the commission is mandated to produce.\nOn some of the \u2018hot-button\u2019 issues surrounding the sport, Scjhang said he is still learning.\n\u201cThe antidoping measures included in Act 8020 were not met with a resounding round of applause, and there were some in our community who had concerns,\u201d he said. \u201cIt would be deceitful of me to sit before you and indicate that I am completely aware of the challenges brought forward and have a complete grasp of \u2018doping\u2019 in the horse racing industry. What I can sit before you and pledge to you is that I am willing to put in the work.\u201d\nPhillips, an engineer with the V.I. Waste Management Authority, said in his testimony he has decades of institutional knowledge of the horse racing industry in the V.I. and an interest in the regulatory side of the sport.\n\u201cOver the years, I have read and studied the rules and regulations of the Virgin Islands Horse Racing Commission, and I concluded that the rules are very good. The overall issue from my perspective is enforcing the rules,\u201d said Phillips.\nWhen asked by Sen. Jean Forde what he would do to better enforce regulations, Phillips said the first step would be to make sure everyone involved in the industry receives a written copy of all the sport\u2019s regulations. V.I. Code allows for actual enforcement to be done in partnership with the VIPD.\nPhillips said he had several ideas for the commission, including: aligning V.I. purse award standards with those of New York; meeting with paddock stewards and gate handlers during race days to ensure \u2018post parades\u2019 occur; working with promoters to put an end to illegal betting; and enforcing a 30 minute pre-race deadline for horses to be in the paddock.\nAt the hearing Sen. Kurt Vialet, who attended but is not a member of the Rules Committee, reminded nominees that \u201cthe regulatory component is what the commission is about, and not the actual running of the races.\u201d\nAll Rules and Judiciary Committee members present \u2013 Sens. Forde, Novelle Francis Jr., Sammuel Sanes and Janelle Sarauw \u2013 voted to send the nominations of Schjang and Phillips on to the full senate.\nCommittee members Sens. Myron Jackson, Janette Millin Young, and Positive Nelson were absent.\nPrevious articleV.I.

        "raw_content": "Sustainable development: Big Issues New Answers\nCourse description Sustainable development: Big Issues New Answers\n4602MDO18Y\nProf. dr. A. (Arnold) Tukker\nDr. E. (Ellen) Cieraad\nDr. W.L.M. (Wil) Tamis\nDr. J.M. (Jos\u00e9) Mogoll\u00f3n\nThe course approaches the subject of sustainable development from four different angles, each treated in a separate module. The first angle is that of the regional level, addressing the question why some civilisations prove sustainable while others perish. This module emphasises the use of natural resources, such as food and water. The second module looks at the intrinsic value of the human environment, i.e. nature\u2019s richness. What is \u2018biodiversity\u2019, what is our culturally determined attitude towards it and what policies are effective? The third angle addresses the issue at a global scale, that of \u2018System Earth\u2019, focusing on climate and flows of matter. The fourth module is more directly geared towards action, focusing on economic and innovation aspects. How can citizens and governments apply the available knowledge to work towards a sustainable world? What part can be played by economic instruments, in addition to legislation? Throughout the course, we will look at general theories and the \u2018classics\u2019 of sustainable development.\nModule 1. Introduction to Sustainability: past, present and future\nIn the weeks of this module, you will examine the ups and downs of civilisations that were forced to change due to lack of resources. Did they perish or did they achieve a new state of equilibrium? The module focuses on the factors of population growth and food supply. At the same time, it looks at the way ideas about sustainable development have grown in our present-day society and introduces you to some key concepts and methods used in this discipline. The module uses a cyclic mode of learning, and its approach is relatively \u2018literature-based\u2019, that is, it involves reading quite a few original texts.\nModule 2. Biodiversity: meaning, views, policy and practice\nSocieties do need nature for their services (the so-called ecosystem services), but nature has also a value of its own. In this module we first treat biodiversity and its use of the services, threats and positive and negative impacts of urbanization. After that we will look at the philosophical points of view on biodiversity and the place and role of biodiversity in religions. The focus in this module is on how visions and opinions on biodiversity play a major role in the way we value biodiversity, and also in the formulation of nature and environmental conservation policies. After all, the key aspects of conservation biology are repair versus preventing damage to the ecosystems and thus biodiversity.\nModule 3. System Earth and Climate Change\nThe module introduces you to a view of the Earth as one large system, characterised by huge cycles of matter and energy and large-scale processes, including climate. This is the system James Lovelock called Gaia. The Earth supplies raw materials and services that sustain human life. Humans influence the cycles and use the materials and services supplied. This module explains how the cycles are affected and what limits there are to the available resource supplies. It discusses methods like simple stocks and flows models, as well as the dynamics of biogeochemical cycles.\nModule 4. Economy and Technology\nThis module focuses on methods to identify, and possibly counteract, the effects that human economic activities have on the global environment. It discusses questions like: is selling milk in cartons really more damaging to the environment than selling it in glass bottles; how can you take a product\u2019s entire lifecycle into account and how can you calculate this? Are there enough resources available to allow all humans on Earth to enjoy a level of affluence similar to that in Europe by 2050? What instruments are available to steer the economy in a sustainable direction, and what are the impediments and limitations to their use? The module discusses methods like economic valuation of natural resources and environmental effects, lifecycle analysis, materials flow analysis, sustainability indicators and historic research.\nAttainment objectives\nA. Describe current sustainability challenges, and explain how this is affected by the world\u2019s complex system of cycles and processes;\nB. Describe important sustainability-related concepts and processes, and use theory, factual knowledge and a system\u2019s perspective to explain the drivers of sustainability challenges, and the interaction between people, planet and prosperity;\nC. Apply the above knowledge to analyse complex sustainability problems, using various methodologies, and describe different categories of solutions;\nD. Substantiate and defend statements regarding sustainability challenges and proposed solutions, and present scientific results to a broad audience, both verbally and in writing.\nTeaching methods and exams\nThe course covers 15 ECTS, distributed over 11 weeks (420 hours), starting on 3 September 2018. It is a full-time programme requiring active participation. Contact hours are mostly on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Tuesdays and Thursdays are scheduled for self-study (reading literature, preparing assignments and tests) and occasional classes (so always check the schedule).\nThe final course mark (out of 10) will be a combination of 4 internal Module assessments and one final exam.\nTimetable and examination dates\nThe Big Issues New Answers course is from 3 September \u2013 9 November 2018.\nThe wrap-up of the course is on 5 November and the final exam is on 9 November 2018.\nYou will be enrolled in Blackboard. All the lecture notes, manuals of every single module, assignments, important announcements, the schedule, etc. can be found there.\nSustainable development (interdisciplinary minor) Minor 1 I",

We're here to help. > Account how-to > What happens to out-of-office replies?\nWe include a hidden line in your email header that reads something like, \"This is a bulk email. No need to reply with autoresponders.\" Most receiving servers pay attention to that and don't bother delivering out-of-office replies, but some don't, so you might still get a handful of those autoresponders.\nMost ISPs should be using that \"bulk\" designation to give our mail specific (not special) treatment with regard to autoresponders, mail queues, etc. Outside of the big receivers, there could be a lot of variation on how your emails are treated when a recipient has set an autoresponder. The correct place to send an autoresponder is the Return-Path address, which is going to be @e2ma.net. If we receive one, we dump it into the trash immediately. However, there have been some cases over the years where the receiving server sends the autoresponder to the from address. It's relatively uncommon in comparison, but it certainly does happen.\nYour next question might be, \"Can that be changed?\" This is a great question, yet we aren't able to customize this on a per-account basis, and since we are a bulk sender, we need to identify ourselves as such.",

        "raw_content": "Wake, commissioned by Times Square Arts, is a 24-foot-tall installation that evokes the hull of a shipwreck crossed with the skeletal remains of a marine mammal. The structure is linked with a carved, 21-foot tall animatronic female sculpture, accurately derived from a figurehead of the opera star Jenny Lind, that was once mounted on the 19th Century clipper ship, the USS Nightingale.\nThe physical construction of Wake is underway at the University of North Carolina at Asheville\u2019s STEAM Studio, and is a collaboration between the Engineering and Art & Art History, and Drama Departments with assistance from faculty, staff, other students, and community members, all under the direction of Mel Chin Studio.\nThe artwork calls forth both the city\u2019s triumphs and the complicated layers of its past. New York City has become a center of trade, commerce, finance, entertainment, and tourism, but also has a complex history that included the shipping (by the USS Nightingale, among others) of guns and slaves, that augmented this burgeoning city\u2019s economy. The expanding past economies are prologue to our current environmental dilemma.\nThe physical presence of Wake will serve as an entry point into Unmoored, an ambitious 21st Century mixed-reality public art project that will be a draw for all ages and backgrounds.\nWith Wake and Unmoored, Chin hopes to spark deeper personal investigations through digital devices, and provoke an enlightened stewardship of human actions in relation to global warming realities.\nThe two public artworks immerse the heart of Times Square in the discussion around climate change. Scenarios on the ground at Broadway Plaza between 46th and 47th Streets, and in the \u201cvirtual air\u201d of mixed reality, will combine in an ambitious, interactive installation.\nWake is commissioned by Times Square Arts. Co-presented by Times Square Arts, Queens Museum, and No Longer Empty. Special thanks to University of North Carolina at Asheville, Jaros Baum & Bolles Consulting Engineers, and Candice Strongwater.\nImage: Mel Chin, Wake Study, 2017. Study by the artist.

        "raw_content": "(Originally preached by Rev. Jeffrey Spencer on January 18, 2015, at the Niles Discovery Church, Fremont, California. More of Jeff\u2019s sermons are available on their site.)\nJohn does tell a good story. I suppose one could reduce this story to three lines: Once upon a time there was a man who was born blind. Jesus saw him and said, \u201cHere\u2019s mud in your eye.\u201d The man said, \u201cWow! So that\u2019s what pizza looks like.\u201d The end.\nWell, four lines, with the \u201cthe end.\u201d I prefer to think of this story as having three acts.\nAct One: The Healing. Jesus and his disciples encounter this man born blind. The disciples see the man as an object. Let\u2019s talk about him, not to him. \u201cWho sinned,\u201d they ask, \u201cthe man or his parents?\u201d They think there has to be an explanation about this suffering.\nJesus says, wrong question. This is not about judgment; this is about compassion. This is an opportunity to express love. He sees the man and literally touches him. In his act, the man gains the ability to see.\nFr. Samuel Candler wrote: \u201cWhat an amazing way to interpret human need or suffering! When Jesus sees someone in need, he does not use that person\u2019s plight to develop a political or moral agenda. Jesus sees opportunity, a chance to recognize God\u2019s work. God\u2019s work is revealed, not in moral statement, but in an act of mercy, in an act which pays close attention to the need itself.\u201d And I would add, an act which pays close attention to the person herself or himself.\nAct Two: Trouble at the Synagogue. Jesus isn\u2019t part of this act; he and the disciples have walked off stage. In this act, the man who had just been blind gets into trouble. \u201cIs this him, the man we knew who was born blind who we used to see begging?\u201d They can\u2019t believe their eyes \u2013 our first clue that this story is about blindness, but not of the man born blind.\nThe people want to know how it happened. He tells them. They want to know about this Jesus guy \u2013 who is he? The man replies that he doesn\u2019t know. They call in the Pharisees. The Pharisees get all upset that this happened on the Sabbath. There\u2019s renewed doubt about the healing being authentic. The parents are brought in (and they don\u2019t want to get involved). Under continued questioning from the Pharisees, the man moves from saying, \u201ca guy named Jesus did this,\u201d to saying that Jesus is definitely \u201cfrom God.\u201d And for that testimony, he gets thrown out of the synagogue.\nAct Three: The Return of Jesus. Jesus hears that the man has been thrown out of the synagogue and, like the shepherd seeking out the one lost sheep, he returns. He talks with the man and the man becomes a follower of Jesus.\nThen we get to the tough part of the story. \u201cJesus said, \u2018I came into this world for judgment so that those who do not see may see, and those who do see may become blind.\u2019\nSome of the Pharisees near him heard this and said to him, \u2018Surely we are not blind, are we?\u2019\nJesus said to them, \u2018If you were blind, you would not have sin. But now that you say, \u201cWe see,\u201d your sin remains.\u2019\u201d\nIt\u2019s so easy for me to identify with the man born blind. I know I\u2019m growing in my understanding. I know I\u2019m growing in my relationship with God. I know I\u2019m growing in my relationship with Jesus. The thing is, I want to be the blind man after he can see, but these final words of Jesus remind me that if I think I can see it all now, that means I\u2019m being blind to something.\nIf I didn\u2019t have other things to do, I could spend all day Saturday listening to KQED-FM. Without a doubt, my favorite show from Saturday\u2019s line-up is \u201cThis American Life.\u201d Yesterday\u2019s episode was titled \u201cBatman\u201d and if you listen to podcasts, I recommend getting this one. The show was about expectations and how our expectations of others shape how they perform. As a case in point, they investigated the impacts of sighted people\u2019s expectations of blind people on those blind people. It turns out that the impact is real.\nThe program begins by introducing us to Daniel Kish, a man who had to have his eyes removed because of cancer at a very, very young age. As a toddler, he started quite naturally making clicking noises with his tongue and started listening to his clicking to \u201csee.\u201d He uses echolocation to navigate. It has allowed him to do things like ride a bike.\nThe part of the show that I think really relates to today\u2019s sermon is how Daniel\u2019s brain processes the echoes he creates. Lore Thaler, a German neuroscientist at Durham University in the United Kingdom studies vision in the brain, literally how the images we see are constructed. She knows a ton about the visual cortex.\nShe wondered what was happening in the visual cortex of someone who is blind and uses echolocation. So she brought Daniel and a few other people who can echolocate into her lab and she put microphones in their ears and made stereo recordings of them echolocating various objects. She had them echolocate things like a car, a lamppost, a salad bowl, and a salad bowl in motion (hanging from a fishing rod). Then she put her test subjects in fMRI machines and played back the recordings through stereo earphones and watched what happened in their brains. And she compared those readings to what happens in sighted people\u2019s brains when they visually locate the same objects.\nFor decades neuroscientists have assumed that the visual cortex goes dark when you\u2019re blind. Daniel\u2019s was lighting up like a disco ball.\nIt turns out that there are all these different parts of the brain involved in vision. So there\u2019s an area that\u2019s specifically dedicated to processing motion, and that\u2019s way over behind the ears. And then there are completely different areas for shape, for texture, for how bright something is. And in Daniel\u2019s brain, many of these areas were lighting up. The color and brightness had no action. But motion, when he was echolocating the salad bowl in motion, the motion area behind the ears started pumping with blood flow. He was, in essence, \u201cseeing\u201d the movement of the salad bowl.\nI thought about that old saying, \u201cThere are no so blinds as those who will not see.\u201d It turns out that the saying is not from the Bible. It resembles Jeremiah 5:21, but it actually only goes back to 1713 and the \u201cWorks of Thomas Chalkley.\u201d Regardless of its origins, it just seems so apropos.\nDaniel Kish is not just blind; he has no eyes. And yet, he sees.\nIn her book, Learning to Walk in the Dark, Barbara Brown Taylor tells about Jacques Lusseyran, a Frenchman who was not born blind, but who became blind after a grade school fight. While most of the people around him thought his blindness was a total disaster, his parents did not. They kept him in the public school and his mother learned Braille with him. They never described him as \u201cunfortunate.\u201d\nSoon after his accident, his father said, \u201cAlways tell us when you discover something.\u201d \u201cIn this way, Lusseyran learned that he was not a poor blind boy but the discoverer of a new world, in which the light outside of him moved inside to show him things he might never have found any other way\u2026. \u2018The only way I can describe that experience is in clear and direct words,\u2019 he wrote. \u2018I had completely lost the sight of my eyes; I could not see the light of the world anymore. Yet the light was still there. Its source was not obliterated. I felt it gushing forth every moment and brimming over; I felt how it wanted to spread out over the world. I had only to receive it. It was unavoidably there. It was all there, and I found again it\u2019s movements and shades, that is, its colors, which I had loved so passionately a few weeks before.\n\u201c\u2018This was something entirely new, you understand, all the more so since it contradicted everything that those who have eyes believe. The source of light is not in the outer world. We believe that it is only because of a common delusion. The light dwells where life also dwells: within ourselves.\u2019\u201d\nLusseyran learned to \u201cattend so carefully to the world around him that he confounded his friends by describing things he could not see. He could tell trees apart by the sounds of their shadows. He could tell how tall or wide a wall was by the pressure it exerted on his body.\u201d\nOne of the greatest discoveries he made \u201cwas how the light he saw changed with his inner condition. When he was sad or afraid, the light decreased at once. Sometimes it went out altogether, leaving him deeply and truly blind. When he was joyful and attentive, it returned as strong as ever. He learned very quickly that the best way to see the inner light and remain in its presence was to love.\n\u201cIn January 1944, the Nazis captured Lusseyran and shipped him to Buchenwald along with two thousand of his countrymen. Yet even there he learned how hate worked against him, not only darkening his world but making it smaller as well. When he let himself become consumed with anger, he started running into things, slamming into walls, and tripping over furniture. When he called himself back to attention, the space both inside and outside of him opened up so that he found his way and moved with ease again. The most valuable thing he learned was that no one could turn out the light inside him without his consent. Even when he lost track of it for a while, he knew where he could find it again.\u201d\nIt is so easy to interpret today\u2019s scripture lesson as a teaching about spiritual blindness. Our story ends with Jesus saying, \u201cI have come into this world for judgment, so that those who do not see may see, and those who do see may become blind.\u201d How do we hear these words? As a threat? As a promise? As a hope?\nAt the very least, these words make me wonder if my seeing has made me blind \u2013 \u201cby giving me confidence that one quick glance at things can tell me what they are, by distracting me from learning how the light inside me works, by fooling me into thinking I have a clear view of how things really are, of where the road leads, of who can see rightly and who cannot. I am not asking to become blind, but I have become a believer. There is a light that shines in the darkness, which is only visible there.\u201d\n\u201cAmazing grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost but now am found, was blind by now I see.\u201d That is one of the ways grace works \u2013 it finds us and give us sight. And I\u2019ll sing those words with you in just a moment. But if I\u2019m right, that there is a celestial brightness that has nothing to do with sight, we may need to add a verse. We may need to sing something like, \u201cAmazing grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a soul like me. You\u2019ll lead me gently to the dark, and there your glory see.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Apple seeking newer screens to make or break Japan suppliers\nThe smartphone industry is shifting away from liquid-crystal displays, or LCDs, which used to be on almost every phone and remains the standard for TVs.Bloomberg | October 17, 2016, 17:17 IST\nBy Takashi Amano\nPick up a high-end smartphone these days and chances are it will have a crisp, energy-sipping organic LED display -- unless it's an iPhone.\nThat will change next year, when Apple plans to adopt the technology for the next major upgrade to its flagship product. To do so, the Cupertino, California-based company will have to get its hands on millions of OLED screens.\nAs a result, Japanese suppliers are under pressure to build up manufacturing operations. Apple, which usually prefers to have multiple suppliers, is in negotiations with Sharp to procure OLEDs. Japan Display is moving to build up its own OLED production capabilities. Initial costs could reach $2 billion for each, stretching their finances even before they get any firm orders. Even so, they may not have a choice.\n\"If they don't invest in OLED, they will have to get out of the smartphone supplier business altogether,\" said Takeo Miyamoto, an analyst at MUFJ Morgan Stanley.\nJDI shares rose as much as 11% on Monday to their highest in almost three months. SMBC Nikko Securities raised its rating on the company to outperform from neutral.\nThe smartphone industry is shifting away from liquid-crystal displays, or LCDs, which used to be on almost every phone and remains the standard for TVs. Now, the most expensive handsets usually feature OLEDs, thanks to their ability to use less battery power while delivering sharper and brighter images. They\u2019re also flexible, which opens up the possibility of bendable phones and other innovations in the sector.\nSamsung Electronics currently dominates the market for smartphone OLEDs, making up 99% of shipments in the first half, according to IHS Markit. EverDisplay Optronics has just 0.4%. But Samsung isn't just the only supplier for the screens, it's also Apple's biggest competitor in the smartphone market, making it even more critical for Apple to secure new providers if it wants to use OLEDs for iPhones.\nApple has lagged behind its rivals in embracing OLEDs. Samsung's Galaxy S7 and Google's new Pixel phones feature OLED screens, and dozens of models from Motorola, Oppo, HTC and other manufacturers also use the displays. A representative from Apple didn't respond to a request for comment on its OLED plans.\nApple is said to be in talks with Samsung to secure OLED displays. Sharp's capital investment in OLED is part of 200 billion yen that the manufacturer had already committed to OLED technology, part of a strategic plan it adopted with new owner Foxconn Technology Group, itself a key contract manufacturer for Apple. The opportunity is huge: IHS Markit estimates that the OLED-smartphone display market will be worth $18.6 billion in 2018, surpassing LCDs.\n\"Most suppliers are planning aggressive capital investment,\" said Hiroshi Hayase, an analyst at IHS Markit. Because OLEDs can be made of film-like flexible materials, \"there's a chance to open up new markets,\" he said.\nFor Japan Display, which has lost 80% of its value since listing in 2014, winning the Apple contract is both its biggest opportunity and risk. JDI already depends on Apple for 54% of its revenue from LCD screens, according to Bloomberg's Supply Chain Analysis. The display maker has approached banks to secure tens of billions of yen in financing, according to Kyodo News, and has little choice but to invest in OLED to remain in the game.\nJDI will have to invest 150 billion yen ($1.44 billion) to set up its OLED manufacturing line, either through borrowing or equity financing. JDI is planning to start an OLED fabrication line for testing by March 2018, according Kazuhiko Kubota, a spokesman for Tokyo-based JDI. He said the company is talking to customers, shareholders and banks about obtaining funding, but declined to discuss the company's planned investment in OLED or specific fundraising activities.\nOne option for JDI would be to enter into a vendor financing agreement, using funds from Apple to build up operations and paying it back through sales of OLED screens. It's a risky strategy, and one that backfired for GT Advanced Technologies Inc. in 2014. Apple lined up $578 million in prepayment loans for GT Advanced so that it could feature tough sapphire screens for the iPhone 6. The manufacturer failed to deliver material of acceptable quality, and GT Advanced later sought bankruptcy protection.\n\"JDI's strategy has been to depend on Apple,\" Miyamoto said. \"That's na\u00efve.\"\nFormed four years ago from the struggling LCD operations of Sony, Toshiba and Hitachi, JDI is 36 owned by Innovation Network Corp. of Japan, a government entity created in 2009 to support key technology businesses. Japan Display went public in 2014, and after posting a profit that year, has been losing money. While revenue has climbed each year, it's now projected to decline 9 percent in the current fiscal year through June.\nThe company is at risk of running short of funds, Miyamoto said. \"It's on a tightrope.\"\nTags : Mobile, Smartphones, OLED screens, Japan Display, iPhone, Apple",

He was educated at Lord Williams\u2019s Grammar School in Thame, where he boarded from 1909 to 1914, and where reportedly, he showed great promise.\nAs soon as he was 18, he enlisted at Aylesbury with the Artists Rifles, the 28th (County of London) Battalion of the London Regiment, on 11th December 1916. Like many other young men from public schools he was placed in the battalions cadet school for officer training, and was commissioned as a second lieutenant with the Lancashire Fusiliers on the 28th August 1917. Posted to the 1/8th Battalion he joined the battalion in France at the end of October.\nWhen the German Army launched their attack through the Somme in March 1918, the 125th Infantry Brigade, of which the 1/8th Lancashire Fusiliers were a part, was moved up to help defend the line. On the 25th March, 11 days before his death, having been captured and then escaped, Eric took over command of C company in a counter-attack after his company commander, Captain R Alderson was killed. This was an action for which Eric was awarded the Military Cross for \u2018conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty\u2019.\nDuring the next few days the British Third Army was forced to retreat in front of the German advance. On the 5th April, the final day of the German assault, the 1/8th Lancs. Fusiliers were in trenches near the village of Bucquoy. The day started with a heavy German artillery barrage, followed by fierce fighting, both flanks of the line being forced back.\nThe last message received from Eric was that his much depleted company was still holding their original position. The battalion counter attacked in the afternoon, and regained some of the lost ground, but by that time Eric had\nSome confusion surrounds his burial place. Despite official reports that his body was never recovered from the battlefield, Rev T B Hardy VC wrote that he had found Eric\u2019s body in the ruins of Bucquoy and buried him there. The search for his grave continues by his descendant Michael Rose.\n2/Lieut. Eric William Rose is commemorated on the Arras Memorial, and remembered on the Lord William\u2019s School Honours Board and on the War Memorial in Ford. He is also remembered on the Artists Rifles War Memorial in the entrance portico of the Royal Academy in London.",

For her birthday, we went to New York together. There, we met a friend of ours who had hired a personal stylist for $100 per hour. Our friend had never been a big fan of shopping, but this time he was really happy and looked amazing afterwards. In that moment, the idea for Outfittery hit us. We thought that every man should have access to his own personal stylist at an affordable price.\nWhen we were back in Germany, we put our heads together and brainstormed. I had always wanted to run my own business \u2013 even moreso after my time at Rocket Internet. Of course there were many skeptics saying that this service would only appeal to a niche audience, but those naysayers never made us change our mind. Today, Outfittery is the market leader in personal shopping. Always be optimistic and don\u2019t let others make you doubt your own business idea. The thing that provided me with a real sense of safety was having a trustworthy business partner. It is important to believe in your team and trust your gut feeling.\nAnna Alex, 31, is the co-founder of Outfittery, a personal shopping service for men. The company was launched in 2012 and has since grown to 300 employees, operating in 8 countries, and serving about 300,000 customers. Anna studied in Freiburg and Paris, and started her career at Rocket Internet in Berlin.

Growth is expected to dip to a slightly lower rate of 4.8% in 2016, according to actuaries at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Their report, published in the journal Health Affairs, projects spending growth will reach 6% in 2025.\nThe pickup in the past two years follows five consecutive years in which average spending growth through 2013 was less than 4% annually, the lowest rates since the government began tracking health-care spending in the 1960s.\nThe acceleration is largely attributed to a stronger economy, faster growth in medical prices and an aging baby boom generation. Spending growth in 2014 and 2015 was also driven by expanded coverage under the Affordable Care Act because it means more people are using health services.",

        "title": "Bridging finance \u2013 what is it and how does it work?",
        "raw_content": "Bridging finance is a short term loan that covers both your existing home and the new property you\u2019re looking to purchase. Repayments on your bridging loan are usually calculated on an interest only basis during the time it takes to buy your new home and sell your existing home \u2013 called the bridging period.\nIn case your existing home takes a little longer to sell, and to help reduce your total loan amount, it\u2019s a good idea to continue making your repayments so you\u2019re not left with a hefty debt to pay back. And, because bridging finance can be a tricky form of finance, it\u2019s worth getting advice from a mortgage specialist to ensure you understand all of the loan features.\nA bridging loan is calculated by adding any debt owing on your existing home to the value of your new home, and then subtracting the potential sales price of your existing home.\nThe amount leftover is called the principal and in most cases during the bridging period you\u2019re only required to pay back the interest calculated on the principal. Interest will be compounded monthly though at the standard variable rate and added to your principal or ongoing balance. This amount will become your mortgage on your new property once your existing home has sold.\nBefore considering a bridging loan, it\u2019s recommended you have at least 50% of your existing home\u2019s value in equity, in order to avoid paying a sizable amount of interest. And bear in mind that during the bridging period, you\u2019re essentially paying off the interest on two properties, so selling your existing home is a priority.\nBridging finance takes away the pressure of matching up settlement dates, letting you sell your home without worrying about losing out on a new home. It\u2019s a convenient means of buying the property you want today, without waiting, letting you move quickly on a new property without worrying about selling your existing home first. And it\u2019s also an ideal option for finance if you\u2019re considering building a new home while you live in your current home.\nThe biggest risk with bridging finance is overestimating how much you\u2019ll sell your existing home for. If your home sells for less than what you expected, your bridging loan may not be enough to cover the cost of your new home and you could end up with a far bigger debt to repay.\nIf your existing home takes longer to sell or the sale falls through, you could find yourself trying to service a considerable debt. You may also find your lender increases the interest rate on your mortgage if your existing home doesn\u2019t sell within the bridging period.\nIt\u2019s a good idea to get advice about bridging finance before making any decisions. There are a number of factors to consider when deciding on whether or not bridging finance is the right option:\nHow long will you need the funds for? How long are properties taking to sell in your area? How quickly can you get your existing home ready for sale? Are you building a new home or buying an established property? Will you be able to meet the repayments on your current loan and your bridging loan? Get in touch\nIn today\u2019s heated property market, it makes sense to move quickly when you find the property you want to buy. Having to wait until you\u2019ve sold means you could potentially miss out. If you think bridging finance could provide a solution while you sell your existing home and buy a new home, talk to Best Mortgages about your options and let\u2019s get you sorted.",

        "raw_content": "Can You Really Earn a Full-Time Income at Home?\nWorking from home is pretty much the dream. No torturous commute, no annoying work colleagues and no boss breathing down your neck. Instead you get all of your creature comforts at arms reach, you can do your work at your own pace (as long as you\u2019re meeting your deadlines) and you even get to have your pets nearby- what could be better? Most of us know at this point that there are legitimate ways to earn money from home, but can it be more than just a side hustle? Can you really earn enough money working from home to survive? The answer is yes! In the early days, you might need to have multiple income sources while your work becomes more reliable, that way if one is a little quieter you can make the money up elsewhere. Here are some ideas.\nSet Up an Online Business\nWhether it\u2019s selling your own creations, from cakes to website templates to digital animations, to buying and selling for a profit, there are lots of home business ideas to consider. Choose something you enjoy and it wont even feel like work, plus if you use an online marketplace like eBay or Etsy you can start selling right away without having to pay for an expensive website. While your business is getting established and generating a profit, you could boost your income with one of the options below.\nDo Some Freelance Work\nFreelancing is fantastic for anyone wanting to earn money from home. There\u2019s regular work if you want it, but as your not contracted to any hours it\u2019s entirely down to you how much you take on. If you\u2019re having a slow few weeks with your home business, you can do some extra work here to make up the shortfall. If you\u2019re a writer, designer, website creator, app developer or have any other similar skills you will be able to earn money online as a freelancer. Sign up to a couple of freelancing websites, you will be asked to do a short test so they can assess your skills before you can start work.\nThese days, you don\u2019t have to be a professional or hardcore investor to be able to make money with trading. It could be in stocks, commodities or in cryptocurrency \u2013 this Binance guide explains more. By investing a little money and taking advantage of fluctuations in the market you can make a good chunk of money each month.\nBlogging can be incredibly lucrative, and while for many it\u2019s a way to earn some income on the side, it can also become a full time source of money with hard work (and a bit of luck). However it can take time and effort to reach this stage. Start off as a hobby, and then when you start getting offered paid work you can keep it as an additional source of income. Over time, you could well be earning enough so that it\u2019s your main money each month.",

In the trilogy I\u2019d moved forward one generation with each book, so it appealed to me to write a \u2018sequel\u2019 which did the same. I\u2019d become intrigued with Mary\u2019s story of how she risked everything to defy her brother when he became King Henry VIII.\nSeveral of the books I read during my research suggested that nothing of much interest happened after Mary returned from her short time as the Queen of France. Of course, I found more than enough to write about. Mary was one of the few people prepared to stand up for her friend Queen Catherine when Anne Boleyn caught Henry\u2019s eye.\nShe was also one of the guests of honour at the spectacular meeting between Henry VIII and King Francis I of France between 7th and 24th of June 1520, which became known as the Field of the Cloth of Gold. The two kings did their best to outdo each other in every possible way.\nA wide plain in a valley subsequently called the \u2018Val d\u2019Or\u2019, near the English castle at Guisnes (to the south of Calais) was filled with magnificent tents and pavilions, recorded in a contemporary painting of the scene now part of the royal collection at Hampton Court Palace.\nIt was fascinating to explore what Mary Tudor might have made of it all, to suddenly be taken from her virtual retirement in Suffolk to be at centre stage, adored by the French as \u2018La Reine Blanche\u2019 and proudly exploited by Henry.\nAlthough this was intended to be a serious diplomatic meeting, there are stories about the two kings wresting each other to the ground, playing tricks and even seeing who could sing the loudest. Hall\u2019s chronicle notes that \u2018When dinner was over, some time was spent dancing in the banqueting hall. Before he started to dance, the French king went from one end of the room to the other, carrying his hat in his hand and kissing all the ladies on both sides \u2013 except for four or five who were too old and ugly\u2019.\nOne of the most talked about events happened on the afternoon of Saturday the 23rd of June 1520. Cardinal Wolsey had everyone gathered in a temporary chapel for the final mass of the meeting. Mary was beginning to get bored when a fire-breathing dragon appeared in the sky overhead. The episode was faithfully recorded in the painting and a witness described it as follows:\n\u2018Its eyes blaze, and with quivering tongue it licks its mouth, which opens wide; the dragon hisses through its gaping jowls. Its monstrous head bristles with bloody crests, the rest of its body skims the boundless air behind. It makes a sound as it advances over the earth, with rustling wings, while with its great body it cleaves a path through the air. Its long tail, acting as a tiller, now dips down, now rises up, according to the direction of the breeze.\u2019\nI was intrigued by the idea it might have been a dragon. Some have suggested it was a comet, but the timing was so perfect even I would have seen it as an ominous portent. It could have been a clever kite, perhaps the result of early contact between the French and the Chinese, but another, less fanciful account says, \u2018It passed over the chapel where Mass was being said, across the camp, as fast as a foot soldier could travel, as far as Guisnes, mounting as high in the air as a crossbow would carry an arrow.\u2019\nIn my book, Mary knew it was a firework, set off by the mischievous King Francis, to literally put the fear of God into the superstitious English. (Mary\u2019s father, King Henry VII had been keen on fireworks and used a dramatic pyrotechnic display over the Thames to celebrate Elizabeth of York\u2019s coronation.)\nI enjoyed untangling this and the many other myths about Mary Tudor, from causing the death of King Louis with her \u2018passionate exertions\u2019 to her dying of \u2018grief at her brother\u2019s divorce from her friend Catherine of Aragon.\u2019 I also had the benefit of knowing a great deal about the people and places of Mary\u2019s world. I\u2019m now writing about the amazing life of Mary\u2019s second husband, Charles Brandon, (who distinguished himself in the jousting at the Field of the Cloth of Gold). It is a fascinating exercise to think about how different the same events might have seemed from his perspective.\n1.

However, attention should be paid to a woman who successfully thwarted one of the loosest cannons of English royalty! She chose to opt out of another attempt to use her a a royal pawn, an act considered treasonous. It was a very brave move to stand up to her brother, not just in marrying Brandon, but to support her sister-in-law against Henry! She was a Tudor! She had the same fortitude\nas her father and mother; a better cut of the family cloth than the spoiled brother who became king!

        "title": "TO DREAM THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM! Our Ronnie Radford Moment \u2013 The Imps \u2013 a lincoln city blog by kate jackson",
        "raw_content": "TO DREAM THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM! Our Ronnie Radford Moment\nEvery once in a while you will see a goal that will be shown for years to come and defines a generation of FA Cup fans. There was Hereford\u2019s Ronnie Radford, Lawrie Sanchez in the 1988 Final, Trevor Sinclair for QPR in the nineties, Steven Gerrard\u2019s last minute screamer against West Ham in 2006, Ben Watson for Wigan against Manchester City in 2013 and now, you can add Lincoln City\u2019s Sean Raggett to that list.\nDue to personal reasons I couldn\u2019t make the trip to Burnley, which was a shame as I used to live in nearby Blackburn and would have liked to have had the chance to catch up with friends and also watch the ice hockey team that I used to work for (Blackburn Hawks), but alas, like most others I was restricted to the showing on BT Sport, but even then I imagine that I, and the thousands in the ground and watching on the screens at Sincil Bank, felt just as tense. 3,210 Imps secured tickets and made the trek up to Lancashire more in hope than expectation. Realistically Burnley would defeat Lincoln in 99 of out 100 meetings, but that was the same for Ipswich and Brighton, and to a lesser extent Oldham. A 1-in-100 shot constantly seems to be enough for us these days.\nLet\u2019s make no mistake about it, despite fielding a slightly weakened team, Burnley still had a starting XI that could arguably hold their own in the Premier League. It was comfortably the toughest test of our cup run so far. Oldham and Ipswich were both exceptionally low on confidence, whereas Brighton\u2019s wholesale changes proved that their lack of strength in depth will need addressing when they get promoted to the Premier League in a few months.\nBut anyway, the Imps kicked off and straight away the confidence of winning 15 of the previous 18 matches in all competitions was evident. Jack Muldoon wasted a chance early on but other than that it was a pretty scrappy and quiet first half. The Imps were certainly holding their own against the team that at the time sat twelfth in the Premier League. The second half was a completely different affair.\nJoey Barton has never been the most popular figure with opposition fans but I had never personally had a problem with him\u2026.until midway through the second half when he stomped on Matt Rhead, all before then running into his elbow and feigning injury, trying to get Rhead sent off. I know that will sound petty to any non-Lincoln fan and exaggerated, but just watch the incident. It is one of the most shocking examples of cheating that I\u2019ve ever seen, but successful teams are built off of players that couldn\u2019t be described as honest (example, Arsenal\u2019s 2003/4 \u201cInvincibles\u201d that only remained so by constantly diving under no contact whatsoever). The laughable part of the whole thing is that if you read his Twitter, you\u2019d think he was completely innocent.\nBut anyway, I digress. In all truth the match wasn\u2019t the best. City were excellent and soaked up pretty much anything that Burnley threw at them, but in truth neither goalkeeper was really stretched into a save. It was interesting though that the commentators were talking about how the longer the game went on, the harder City would find it due to the fitness levels, but if there is one thing that anyone who has watched a Danny Cowley side will testify to, they rarely get tired in games. The only time that I\u2019ve seen them clearly on their last legs was pretty much the entirety of the defeat at Barrow last month, but that was understandable due to an overwhelming amount of games in such a small amount of time.\nThe final few minutes were quite end to end, but in truth it looked like it was going to a replay, which I\u2019m sure no Imps fan would have complained about due to the extra revenue and Burnley being a far different prospect away from home\u2026\u2026but then City won a corner. From that corner they won another corner. It seemed overhit but it was headed back across goal and nodded in by Raggett. It was stopped seemingly on the line by Heaton, but thankfully goal-line technological came to City\u2019s aid and awarded the goal. The hesitant celebrations of Imps fans became delirious rapture as the goal was signalled, and every single member of the team rushed to crush Raggett under the pile of bodies.\nIt took me re-watching the final few minutes to realise something that no-one else seems to have noticed, mainly because we were all too busy celebrating, myself included. Danny Cowley allowed himself a brief moment of celebration before then organising a substitution and concentrating back on the game, all whilst the players were running towards the aforementioned pile. That is one of the best aspects of Danny Cowley, he will allow himself time to celebrate, but then has his eyes on the bigger picture. Six and a bit minutes of added on time later and the Imps became the first non-league team in more than 100 years to reach the FA Cup Quarter Finals\nI sat looking at my TV not entirely sure what to do. I felt on the verge of tears of pride, whilst also having that buzzing feeling that can only come when something exceptional happens. This is a club that just five years ago lost to Carshalton Athletic in the FA Trophy, almost got relegated to the Conference North in 2013 and hasn\u2019t achieved a finish higher than 13th (2008/9 and 2015/16) since our last jaunt in the Playoffs in 2007. It seems odd to say this but I support a team that are not only top of the league, but are in the quarter finals of two cup competitions. The treble is still on.\nSo now here comes the question, who do we want in the quarters? Well this is a tricky one because there is the side of you that wants to say \u201cone of the truly big teams\u201d, in other words, either of the Manchester sides, Chelsea or Arsenal, but facing any of them means the 1-in-100 that I mentioned earlier becomes 1-in-1000, but gives the club a big pay-day, especially if it\u2019s away from home. On the flip side we could say that we want a game against a \u201clesser\u201d side to increase the chances of getting through to the semi finals and sharing the gate money from a game at Wembley, as well as the prize money and two games likely to be on TV, however, they are more likely to not under-estimate us and will field a strong side.\nFor me, the worst team team to draw would be Millwall. That isn\u2019t meant in a disrespectful way, but rather in a way where it would be a winnable game (afterall we\u2019ve beaten three teams in divisions higher than them and one from the same division) but they would also not under-estimate us and they are buzzing after already beating three Premier League teams on their route to the quarters. They would arguably take us more of a threat than anyone else left that we could potentially draw. It also probably wouldn\u2019t bring a mass amount of money for either team other than likely TV money.\nIn other news, what made the afternoon even better was seeing the results come in as both Dagenham and Forest Green, second and third respectively in the Conference, both lost, meaning that City now have a three point gap and two games in hand. Whilst nothing is obviously guaranteed, and there is still a lot of football to be played (a rapidly increasing amount of football), it would take a brave individual to bet against the Imps not being a League Two team next year.\nPosted in FA Cup, Lincoln CityTagged burnley, FA Cup, Lincoln City, sean raggettLeave a comment\n\u2190 Five Years On : From the lowest low to the highest high\nThe Worst Players : The Conference Years \u2192",

        "raw_content": "The Country of the Pointed Firs and Other Stories (Penguin Classics)\nA Year in Reading: Paul Harding\nThe two novels that struck me most this year were Sarah Orne Jewett\u2019s The Country of the Pointed Firs and Nikolai Leskov\u2019s The Enchanted Wanderer. Both are small masterpieces of great aesthetic and cosmological elegance, told in deceptively anecdotal styles. Both are episodic and both wear their sophistication lightly.\nThe Country of Pointed the Pointed Firs is set in Dunnett\u2019s Landing, a coastal village in Maine, which is a kind of outpost at the edge of this world, a kind of staging for not only ocean journeys but also final journeys. The characters are isolated and mostly live alone with their own \u201cpoor insistent human nature[s].\u201d Being solitary, the characters take delight in reunions and fellowship, and practice tact informed by the old idea of I and Thou. There is a deeply moving current in the book that one\u2019s own humanity is confirmed and preserved to the extent that one bears witness to and respects the integrity of the humanity of others.\nThe Enchanted Wanderer is absurd and profound and hair-raising. It follows the wanderings of Ivan, a half-wild, half-holy peasant suspended between the realms of pagan and Christian Russia. The tension in the story is generated by his swings between these extremes. He flees through steppes and woods and cities, among imps and mesmerists and Gypsies and Tartars and angels and demons. As he makes his way he tells and retells his story to almost everyone he meets, and in this manner they are all gathered up into the story, too, which he then takes along with him to the next station, the next telling. It is a soulful and humane cosmic comedy.",

William O\u2019Brien Says Obamacare as Bad as Fugitive Slave Act of 1850\nThe Tea Party continues to destroy the Republican Party as New Hampshire state Rep. William O\u2019Brien claims Obamacare is every bit as bad as the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. Wow, the Fugitive Slave Act? The extremists in the Republican Party can\u2019t get any lower than this. Wait. They did. The government shutdown that will see 800,000 workers furloughed is as low as you can go.\nPresident Obama mocked O\u2019Brien for his ridiculous comments, which have been hyped by the Drudge Report. During a speech at Prince George\u2019s Community College in Maryland last Thursday, President Obama said, \u201cYou had a state representative somewhere say that it\u2019s \u2018as destructive to personal and individual liberty as the Fugitive Slave Act.\u2019 Think about that: Affordable healthcare is worse than a law that lets slaveowners get their runaway slaves back. I mean, these are quotes. I\u2019m not making this stuff up.\u201d\nIn case Rep. William O\u2019Brien doesn\u2019t know, the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 declared that all runaway slaves were, upon capture, to be returned to their masters. It was dubbed the \u201cBloodhound Law\u201d by abolitionists because of the dogs that were used to track down runaway slaves. So, how is Obamacare comparable?\nIn what may be the party\u2019s lowest moment throughout this debacle, Republican State Representative William O\u2019Brien of New Hampshire, said Obamacare is every bit as bad as the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. President Obama naturally scoffed at the very idea, but O\u2019Brien defended the analogy. \u201cJust as the Fugitive Slave Act was an overreach by the federal government,\u201d he told the Manchester Union Leader, \u201cso too we understand that Obamacare is an assault on the rights of individuals.\u201d That claim explains a lot about right wing thinking, where callousness toward universal health care is exceeded only by ignorance of slavery.\nPerhaps the phrase \u201cjust as\u201d can be used as an incantation in Tea Party rhetoric, magically tying their own narrow political goals to universal values. But in the real world \u2013 the one informed by actual history and human experience \u2013 there is no meaningful similarity between slavery and health insurance (apart from the fact that both have been the subject of federal legislation). The very comparison is deeply insulting to human rights. Slavery was an evil system of unspeakable brutality, while national health insurance, at the very worst, involves a little bit of additional bureaucracy.\nRace is a very touchy subject for many in this country, but it seems that the Tea Party doesn\u2019t shy away from using it as the basis, subtly, in their dogfights. I don\u2019t recall when former president Bill Clinton tried to pass universal healthcare any Republican invoked the Fugitive Slave Act.",

From her own semi-autobiographical script and making her solo directorial debut, Greta Gerwig\u2019s (Frances Ha, 20th Century Women) Lady Bird follows a wildly opinionated and adventurous woman as she navigates her way through adulthood trying to find her true identity. Rotten Tomatoes Certified Fresh\u2122, the film stars Oscar\u00ae nominee Saoirse Ronan (Best Actress, Brooklyn, 2015; Best Supporting Actress, Atonement, 2007), Primetime Emmy\u00ae winner Laurie Metcalf (Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series, \u201cRoseanne,\u201d 1992, 1993, 1994), Oscar\u00ae nominee Lucas Hedges (Best Supporting Actor, Manchester by the Sea, 2016), Oscar\u00ae nominee Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet (Best Actor, Call Me by Your Name, 2017), Odeya Rush (The Giver), Beanie Feldstein (Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising), and Tony Award\u00ae winner Tracy Letts (Indignation, The Lovers).\nIn Lady Bird, Greta Gerwig reveals herself to be a bold new cinematic voice with her directorial debut, excavating both the humor and pathos in the turbulent bond between a mother and her teenage daughter. Christine \u201cLady Bird\u201d McPherson (Ronan) fights against, but is exactly like, her wildly loving, deeply opinionated and strong-willed mom (Metcalf), a nurse working tirelessly to keep her family afloat after Lady Bird\u2019s father (Letts) loses his job. Set in Sacramento, California, in 2002, amidst a rapidly shifting American economic landscape, Lady Bird is an affecting look at the relationships that shape us, the beliefs that define us, and the unmatched beauty of a place called home.\nProduced by Scott Rudin and Eli Bush (The Grand Budapest Hotel, Ex Machina), the home entertainment release of Lady Bird features an audio commentary and featurette, and will be available on Blu-ray Combo Pack and DVD for the suggested retail price of $39.99 and $29.95, respectively.\n\u00b7 Audio Commentary with Writer-Director Greta Gerwig and Cinematographer Sam Levy\n\u00b7 \u201cRealizing Lady Bird\u201d Featurette\nTitle Copyright: \u00a9 2017 InterActiveCorp Films, LLC.

        "raw_content": "the hand that feed you by a.J. Rich\nMorgan Prager is a 30-year-old graduate student doing research for her thesis on victim psychology. She comes home from school one morning and finds her fianc\u00e9e dead. Her three dogs have apparently mauled him to death. She comes to find that her fianc\u00e9e is not the man she thought he was. Are her dogs the loving pets she thought they were? She moves from studying victims to being a victim.\nI could not put this down! This is a book that could keep you up reading late into the night. I admit to loving my dog a little too much, but the dog storyline was interesting as well. The book had it\u2019s downfalls- the characters are not fully drawn and the end of the book seems rushed, but despite these issues I thoroughly enjoyed this one.\nThis was a great, quick, beach book. It had an interesting back story- two well known authors collaborated to write this story as a tribute to their late friend, fellow writer Katherine Russell Rich. Ms. Rich died of breast cancer at the age of 56 but not before discovering that her fiancee was not who he seemed. This became the basis of the novel.\n\u201cBennett couldn\u2019t tolerate the constant chaos of three big dogs in a small apartment, and maybe he was right, the dogs were taking over my life. Were these rescues a form of pathological altruism? This was the basis of my research, a test to identify victims whose selflessness and hyper-empathy were so extreme that they attracted predators.\u201d\nDid you see the twists coming?\nAn Untamed State by Roxanne Gay",

        "title": "As of today, Nigeria is now Germany in the wake of the 1933 Reichstag fire: Dogara",
        "raw_content": "Home > Breaking News > As of today, Nigeria is now Germany in the wake of the 1933 Reichstag fire: Dogara\nRt Hon Yakubu Dogara, Speaker, House of Representatives Federal Republic of Nigeria is aggrieved by the coas in the country concerning the suspension and the immediate replacement of the CJN.\nAccording to the statement released by the Hon.Dogara, He said the act is unconstitutional and he call on all lovers of freedom and democracy all over the world to rise to the occasion and demand of this Government and the President to halt the march to anarchy and bedlam: which dictatorship promotes.\nHe said \u201cWith the unconstitutional suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) by President Muhammadu Buhari, the world has been served with notice that Nigeria is now a full-blown dictatorship. This did not come as a rude shock except to those that have been blind to the gradual but progressive erosion of democratic values in the polity as President Buhari\u2019s Government has never hidden its disdain for the rule of law.\u201d\n\u201cWe have watched in disbelief as the Government recklessly deploys institutional prerogatives; routinely flouts the rule of law; subverts and assaults democratic Institutions; refuses to accept opponents as legitimate; suppresses citizens civil liberties(especially those of opponents) and trample underfoot the media. In short, the Government\u2019s tyrannical and authoritarian credentials are loathsomely legendary.\u201d\nRelating the suspension with the constitution he said No provision in Sections 157 and 292 of the 1999 Constitution as amended supports the President in purporting to suspend the CJN or swearing in an acting CJN. The whole idea of a limited government is that the President\u2019s powers is limited by law and it is ultra vires his powers to act in the absence of explicit legislative authorization. That is representative democracy at its best which our 1999 Constitution as amended guarantees.\n\u201cIt is instructive to note that our Constitution does not contemplate or presupposes a situation whereby the Judiciary will have a suspended CJN and an acting CJN at the same time. Therefore, it is right to posit, as some have done that the President now has his own Chief Judge to do his bidding while Nigeria has a sitting CJN until he is removed in line with the provisions of the Constitution.\u201d\n\u201cThe awfully crude annexation of the judiciary by the President in violation of his oath of office and the Constitution cannot be for any other reason except, as alleged by so many, to prepare the judiciary ahead of time for the purpose of conferring some aura of legitimacy to the contraption that the 2019 general elections may after all become.\u201d he added.\nI therefore call on the President to remember that he has no better legacy to bequeath other than a good name: which cannot be achieved without honour, character and integrity. Honour and integrity demand that he upholds his oath of office by reversing this assault on our Constitution and following the manifestly clear and unambiguous constitutional procedure for the removal of the CJN if he must be removed. Anything short of this demeans all of us.\nTo our citizens, we must now head the warning of the Irish lawyer cum orator, John Philpot Curran who said, \u201cthe condition upon which God had given liberty to man is eternal vigilance: which condition if he breaks, servitude is at once the consequences of his crime, and the punishment of his guilt\u201d. Despotism can only prosper in Nigeria if good men and women do nothing.\nI also call on all lovers of freedom and democracy all over the world to rise to the occasion and demand of this Government and the President to halt the march to anarchy and bedlam: which dictatorship promotes. The world has an experience in this and it must not allow this unmitigated disaster on Nigeria before it acts to restore sanity.\nAs of today, Nigeria is now Germany in the wake of the 1933 Reichstag fire. Our democracy is on fire; ignited by the very people who swore to protect and defend it. That this fire must not convert the Chancellor to Fuhrer as it happened in Germany in 1933 depends on our collective response and that of the international community. We must not bow our knees to dictatorship: not now, not ever again.",

        "raw_content": "Nikki Haley Dismisses Rumors of Running for Vice President\nNikki Haley, the popular Governor of South Carolina has dismissed rumors of her running for Vice President of the United States in the upcoming presidential elections. Amid reports that she was emerging as a \u201cfantastic choice\u201d to be the Republican Party\u2019s vice presidential candidate, Indian American Governor has ruled out any such possibility, saying her \u201cplate is full.\u201d She said she is quite \u201ccontent\u201d with her responsibilities as the governor of South Carolina and the mother of two kids.\nWhen asked about the latest media reports that Rubio-Haley would be a dream Republican ticket, Haley told Fox News in an interview: \u201cNot at all. I have said my plate is full. I am not only a mom, my daughter is going to college next year, and my son is in middle school. I got a state that I love. We have not finished all the work we want to finish here.\n\u201cSo I am totally content and happy in South Carolina. What I do want to see is that America gets a great president,\u201d the 44-year-old said in a joint appearance with Rubio on Fox News in South Carolina.\n\u201cI think we can do that with Marco Rubio,\u201d she said, responding to questions of her potential campaign as the vice presidential mate of Rubio, which is being reported by some major media outlets.\nSenator Tim Scott from South Carolina said that he is \u201call for\u201d Haley being picked for vice president. Haley is articulate and a strong leader who went \u201cthrough the fire\u201d during a tragic 2015 in the state, he said. \u201cShe would be a fantastic choice and one that I think the country would be quite responsive to,\u201d Scott said.\nHowever, The Washington Post offered a word of caution. \u201cA Rubio-Haley ticket might be many things. But a panacea for the GOP\u2019s sundry political and demographic challenges? It certainly is not,\u201d it said. But for The New York Observer, a Rubio-Haley ticket would be Democratic presidential front runner Hillary Clinton\u2019s worst nightmare.\n\u201cThe sight of Florida Senator Marco Rubio standing side-by-side with South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley after her blockbuster endorsement of his candidacy for president days before the South Carolina GOP primary gave the appearance of a presidential ticket that would be a game changer for the 2016 campaign,\u201d it said.\n\u201cMaybe a Hispanic-Asian ticket with one candidate who\u2019s rediscovering his tea-party roots and another who\u2019s made herself into the top union-hater in the country is the best they can do,\u201d The New Yorker wrote.\nU.S. lawmakers urge Modi to take action on religious violence",

        "raw_content": "5 Ways To Optimize Mental Wellness During Stressful Family Gatherings, With Cena Martin\nhad the pleasure of interviewing Cena Martin a confidence coach, motivational speaker, and founder of the Confidence Catchers Community, a virtual community where she helps millennial women catch their confidence & heal from emotional abuse so they can stop accepting opinions and realities that are not their own. After nearly two decades of emotional abuse, [\u2026]\nHealth always come first and you should always protect yourself, period.\nhad the pleasure of interviewing Cena Martin a confidence coach, motivational speaker, and founder of the Confidence Catchers Community, a virtual community where she helps millennial women catch their confidence & heal from emotional abuse so they can stop accepting opinions and realities that are not their own. After nearly two decades of emotional abuse, Cena searched for and found the steps to heal and rebuild her own confidence and now offers that same transformation to young women around the world through various coaching programs, presentations, and educational materials.\nThank you for the opportunity! Since I was a young, I\u2019ve been working towards mental wellness. Picture this: You are just starting first grade as the weather outside is getting cold. One night, you go to bed later than usual, quickly falling asleep, and the house is eerily quiet. You wake up to find your mom\u2019s boyfriend in your room, drunk and barely conscious. He physically abuses you and then stumbles out the room after you yank over on your side in your bunk bed to pretend you\u2019re going to wake up. Now stop. This was me at 6 years old!\nThat experience left me feeling so alone. It unleashed mental illness issues. Worse yet, once I told my mother, she physically abused me with a beating and quickly called my truth a lie. This was the first time my confidence shattered and I felt unsafe in my own family.\nI went on for many, many years searching for approval and love. I looked for it from my family, in friends, in mentors, and in men. But the day I realized that I could give love and approval to something that was bigger than me\u200a\u2014\u200amy son\u200a\u2014\u200awas the day I began giving it to myself. Unbeknownst to me, becoming a young mom my senior year of high school was the greatest thing that could have happened because it sparked a fire and I started a new search that made me mentally healthy and confident, no matter who was around. The rest is history.\nWith the holiday season almost over, many people have been visiting and connecting with relatives. While family is important, some of them can be incredibly challenging. How would you define the difference between a difficult dynamic and one that\u2019s unhealthy?\nA difficult dynamic is one that makes you uncomfortable or one in which you have to put in extra effort to keep the peace between the different personalities in a room. For example, we recently threw a birthday party for my son and had two relatives show up who had a heated exchange during the ride to this particular location. I pulled those relatives to the side and had a conversation with each one separately, managing the situation while setting the tone for the rest of the day. Needless to say, the day turned out beautifully.\nAn unhealthy dynamic, on the other hand, is one where you are constantly being threatened or attacked. This can be physical, mental, or emotional. For example, we all have that one aunt or female elder in our family who likes to count each pound you\u2019ve packed on when she sees you for the holidays. If it becomes borderline verbal abuse and sends you into panic attacks, yet you\u2019ve repeatedly asked her to stop, that\u2019s unhealthy. I don\u2019t believe you have to be in rooms where you are allowing harm to come to your mind or body for the sake of \u201cgetting together with family.\u201d\nFamilies have a large part to play in our overall mental health. While some members may be champions for wellness, others may trip triggers. What advice would you give about engaging both types of relatives?\nI would say to take it in doses and be totally aware of your peaceful place. What I mean is that it\u2019s wise to have an inner sanctuary (a \u201cpeaceful place\u201d you go to inside of you) that you can turn to anytime things get too intense or you feel like you are losing control. I can find my own in about 40 seconds by going into another room or heading outside to take in fresh air.\nThink of what your inner sanctuary is and keep it close by. Another option is to be aware of your personal triggers and when you see the signs, graciously move yourself into a conversation with another family member or into another room to take part in the festivities there. The key here is to not just sit and allow family members who trip triggers to send you overboard. Have ways you can keep control of the situation top of mind, and for God\u2019s sake use them!\nYes, I do believe there is a difference. An unhealthy family has it\u2019s issues of course, but work can be done there to find the root and get to the bottom of it. All is not lost. However, in a toxic family the same is true but it is much harder. Usually one or more of the family members don\u2019t necessarily care to get to the root of the issues and they would rather keep the secrets and problems pouring if it means they don\u2019t have to take responsibility for the role they played in the matter.\nI would advise dealing with a toxic family member with the truth. If they choose to not acknowledge that and want to keep the problems pouring rather than to take responsibility or make any changes to the environment they are creating, you have a right to remove yourself from the situation.\nYes! I had a client a few years back who had an awfully challenging time seeing eye to eye with her mother. They loved each other dearly, but she had dreams of being a performer and entrepreneur and her mother was used to job security and not taking risks. They fought like cats and dogs and my client\u2019s mother often put her down and triggered her internal fears of running out of money.\nI took my client through a process of forgiving her mother and forgiving herself for the struggles and problems that had led them up to this point in their relationship. We worked together on a few other areas for about 3 months. Now my client is in business with her mother by her side and they are both incredibly happy with what they do every single day! It was an incredible transformation to watch and be a part of.\nManaging mental health in high stress situations is challenging and although gatherings are only a few times a year, they can make a major impact on overall wellness. What 5 strategies do you suggest using to maintain mental health when faced with an unhealthy family dynamic?\nTry an exercise that will help you get instantly grounded and focused. A good one to try is Alternate Nostril Breathing. This exercise is very simple. It relieves stress and calls on your brain to focus by breathing out of one nostril at a time for a few minutes.\nHow To: Sit in easy pose (legs crossed, or legs out in front of you in a \u201cV\u201d shape if that\u2019s more comfortable). Place your right hand on your thigh, palms open up to the sky. With your left hand, close off the air passage to your right nostril and take full deep breaths. Continue breathing deeply for 1\u20132 minutes.\nThis breathing technique allows your body to focus on using different muscles to breath and also creates the space for more focus in your brain. You can try this as well if you become a bit restless. Try this exercise throughout the gatherings when you find yourself unsettled or are struggling to focus on unhealthy family dynamics.\n2. Go beyond positive thinking, and remember how amazing you are. If you do struggle with very high levels of self doubt and find it difficult when family members criticize or talk negatively about you, then try taking what they say and turn it into a positive declaration about yourself.\n3. Go into the situation with an open mind and respond respectfully. I know gatherings like this can be extremely difficult but, if you go into it with an open mind and knowing what to expect from certain family members, you may be able to better control how you respond in conversation. Don\u2019t give into other people\u2019s toxicity and negativity when you don\u2019t have to. Be kind, be courteous, and your conversations may benefit if everyone involved is willing to show the same level of respect to one another.\n4. Don\u2019t stay in a room or a conversation if you are not being treated right while there. If you need to disengage and separate yourself from a family member or group of members who are no good for your mental wellbeing, than do it without apologizing.\n5. Set boundaries and mean it. You have got to let it be known how you want to be treated. If you are not pleased with the way you are being touched or talked to, call it out and put an end to it right then and there. Standing your ground is important, and in a family setting you won\u2019t be able to get far without it.\nBe a support system. If you are an ally, respect the wishes of what that person has asked for.\nBe a role model for the other family members to follow.\nYou can easily avoid causing friction by modeling the behavior instead of verbally telling another adult what to do. You make the difference and set a visual example of how that person struggling with mental illness wants to be treated.\nWhat is your favorite mental health quote?\n\u201cTurn your demons into art, your shadow into a friend, your fear into fuel, your failures into teachers, your weaknesses into reasons to keep fighting. Don\u2019t waste your pain. Recycle your heart.\u201d\u200a\u2014\u200aAndrea Balt\nI found this so impactful because it reminds you to never get stuck or focused on the darker sides of mental illness. Be aware of them and yes seek out the necessary help, but keep moving. There\u2019s always something that comes next and that\u2019s the beautiful part of it all.\nIf I could inspire a movement in mental wellness, it would be to revolutionize the way mental health is addressed and clinically treated here in the United States\u200a\u2014\u200aespecially among women of color. People can support me in this mission by researching and volunteering in their own local mental health facilities and programs. Secondly, join me in the conversation online using the hashtag #ConfidenceCatchersCommunity and encourage more young mothers who struggle with mental health and lack of confidence to seek the support they need and make the changes necessary to take back control of their lives. Moms like us are raising the next generation.

To apply, you will need to write short responses to two questions and to share a sample of your work \u2013 you can learn more about the application process at this link.\nH. Pueyo (2017)\nIneke Chen-Meyer (2017)\nPosted in Fellowships, General News\nPosted on November 28, 2017 by Pat Murphy December 3, 2017\nNovember 28 is Giving Tuesday, a day to celebrate generosity and to remember that there\u2019s more to the holidays than consumerism and commercialization. This year, the Tiptree Award is joining in this national day of generosity and giving.\nConsider making a donation to the Tiptree Award. Thanks to a group of donors, all donations made from now through the end of the year will be matched, up to $2400. Your generosity will be doubled. If we make our match, we\u2019ll raise $4800 for the award \u2014over half of our annual budget.\nIf you haven\u2019t already, share the latest Tiptree winner and honor list with friends on social media. (What could be more generous than sharing a good book?)\nIf you\u2019re shopping for holiday gifts, remember the Tiptree store. Our new edition of The Bakery Men Don\u2019t See has many recipes that are perfect for holiday baking.\nHelp us get the word out on social media via Twitter and Facebook. (If you haven\u2019t joined the Tiptree Facebook page or followed us on Twitter, now\u2019s a good time.)\nEvents of the last year make it clear that our society still has a long way to go regarding gender issues. At the Tiptree Award, we think that the first step in moving forward is to imagine a new world, one that is feminist, decolonial, anti-racist, anti-ableist, anti-fascist, and supportive of all gender identities. We see the Award and the Tiptree Fellowships as investments in the imagination we need to create that future. With your help, we\u2019ll raise the funds we need to continue supporting and promoting speculative fiction that imagines worlds that are very different from the one we live in today.\nLast November, after the disastrous U.S. election results, I resigned from the Tiptree Award motherboard. I have been involved with the award from immediately following Pat Murphy and Karen Joy Fowler\u2019s creation of it more than a quarter of a century ago.\nI remain deeply committed to the goals and work of the Tiptree Award. When I was trying to make this difficult decision, several people pointed out to me that the work of supporting transgressive artists is resistance, and I agree wholeheartedly. I just feel personally that it\u2019s time for me to put my energy into other kinds of resistance and response.\nEveryone on the motherboard and in the Tiptree organizing community has been completely and unambiguously supportive of my decision and this is my opportunity to thank them for everything they do, which is prodigious. It\u2019s taken six months to write this letter to you partly because there\u2019s been a lot to disentangle (and we\u2019re still disentangling) and partly because part of me wants to stay centrally involved with this community that I love and admire so much.\nI\u2019m not going anywhere. I\u2019ll be missing WisCon this year for the first time since we presented the very first Tiptree Award in Madison for reasons unrelated to the Tiptree Award, I fully expect to be back next year, and I eagerly await everyone\u2019s con reports. I\u2019ll miss seeing so many of you!\nI\u2019ve established a personal Twitter account (@SpicejarDebbie) and will be following the Tiptree Award (of course!), so you can find me there,\nLet\u2019s keep changing the world together.\nPosted on April 5, 2017 by Debbie Notkin June 28, 2017\nCongratulations to Anna-Marie McLemore, who has won the 2016 Tiptree Award for her novel When the Moon Was Ours (Thomas Dunne Books/St. Martin\u2019s Press, 2016).\nEleanor Arnason, Hwarhath Stories:Transgressive Tales by Aliens (Aqueduct Press, 2016)\nMishell Baker, Borderline (Saga Press, 2016)\nNino Cipri, \u201cOpals and Clay\u201d (Podcastle, 2016)\nAndrea Hairston, Will Do Magic for Small Change (Aqueduct Press, 2016)\nRachael K.

Dr. Susan Lynch of Hopkinton, NH kicked off the session, followed by informative presentations by Dr. Joan Otomo-Corgel from UCLA and Dr. Jonathan Shenkin, a respected pediatric dentist from Maine. In an interactive forum, the participants discussed the connection between oral health and systemic health and the implications posed in the delivery of oral and dental care to improve a patient\u2019s quality of life. Dental caries is the single most common chronic disease of childhood; factors such as family size, nutritional status of the mother, and transfer of infectious organisms from caregivers are being studied. Periodontal disease, which can result in tooth loss, has been linked to diabetes, heart disease, premature births and cancer. With better understanding of these links, society is beginning to implement needed changes in policies and in medical/dental education to improve health delivery systems.

        "title": "State legislature to consider Gov. Kemp\u2019s budget proposals \u2013 Top 5 Certifications",
        "raw_content": "The coming days in the Georgia legislature are all about one, all-encompassing proposal: the state budget.\nWhile the state House and Senate will not hold floor sessions, many lawmakers will return to the Capitol on Tuesday \u2014 after a the long holiday weekend in honor of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. \u2014 for joint budget hearings. That\u2019s where they\u2019ll hash out the amended budget for fiscal year 2019 and general budget for fiscal year 2020, which begins July 1.\nFormer Gov. Nathan Deal announced in early January that state tax revenue collections for 2018 were up almost $517 million as of December, a 4.6 percent increase over December 2017.\nNewly elected Gov. Brian Kemp last week laid out several of his top priorities including increasing teacher pay, revamping school safety measures and replacing the state\u2019s aging electronic voting machines.\nHere is a look at some of Kemp\u2019s budget proposals that will be on the table:\nKemp\u2019s budget report includes funding for a number of improvements to Georgia\u2019s school system, a pledge that became a significant part of his general election platform.\nIn his amended budget proposal for 2019, Kemp calls for $69 million in order to provide $30,000 to each of Georgia\u2019s 2,294 public schools for security projects determined at the local level.\nIt also calls for $8,400,000 for mental health services in Georgia high schools.\nHis 2020 budget calls for just over $490,000,000 to increase salaries for all certified teachers by $3,000 each and increase assistant teacher salaries by 2 percent. Kemp said in his State of the State address Thursday that it represented a \u201csizeable down payment\u201d on his campaign promise to increase teacher salaries by $5,000.\nIt includes roughly $16,500,000 in lottery funds to increase Pre-K teacher salaries by $3,000 and increase assistant teacher pay by 2 percent as well.\nKemp\u2019s 2020 budget calls for $150 million in bond funds to replace the state\u2019s 16 year-old electronic voting machines statewide.\nThe machines have received frequent criticism from election integrity activists and cybersecurity experts who say they are vulnerable to hacking and can\u2019t be effectively audited. They\u2019re part of an ongoing court challenge by Fair Fight Georgia, a political group founded by Kemp\u2019s former Democratic rival for governor Stacey Abrams.\nA study committee tapped by Kemp, who was Georgia\u2019s elections chief until resigning in November to prepare for governor, voted 13-3 in favor of recommending costlier touchscreen ballot-marking machines over less expensive systems that use hand-marked paper ballots.\nBallot-marking systems often include an electronic touchscreen where voters make choices and then print a paper receipt including a bar code that can be read by a computer, but not easily verified by voters.\nThe commission vote was largely split along partisan lines, with the three down votes coming from the two Democratic members and its lone cybersecurity expert.\nThe dissenting members and most citizens that spoke before the commission favored hand-marked paper ballots tabulated by an optical scanner. They say such a system is the most secure, cheapest, and allows voters to verify their choices before casting a ballot.\nThe $150 million allocated in Kemp\u2019s budget is in line with the cost of the more expensive ballot-marking machines.\nThe legislature will next have to rewrite election law to specify requirements for the new machines. Democrats have vowed to continue pushing for hand-marked paper ballots.\nThe ultimate procurement would then be handled by Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger\u2019s office, in line with the change in the law.\nKemp announced during his State of the State speech Thursday that he was including $1 million in the Department of Community Health\u2019s budget in order to create a waiver plan that would give the state more flexibility in using federal Medicaid funding.\nHe did not elaborate on what a waiver might include. His office said in a statement that the funding was for a consultant to assist in reviewing options and developing a plan and that the ultimate goals included lowering costs and improving access.\nMedicaid strategies that some Republican-led states have talked about include partially expanding the program to cover only residents below the poverty line, a less generous option than provided by the 2010 Affordable Care Act, which extended eligibility to many people just above poverty as well.\nPartial expansion would be less costly for states, but it\u2019s unclear whether the federal government has the legal authority to grant such a waiver. It would almost certainly draw a court challenge as have some Medicaid work requirements approved under the Trump administration.\nDeal and other state Republicans had previously opposed Medicaid expansion on the grounds that if federal funding ceased, the state would be left to fully pay the costs.",

        "raw_content": "I\u2019ve tried planing gardens in the past. Lord knows I\u2019ve tried . . . I really have. I tended to some cute, little cherry tomato plants and a few containers of herbs only to let them go to seed in the final few days of summer. Perhaps I\u2019ve even gone so far as to book mark some raised bed gardens on the Internet or listened to a good friend talk about her \u201clasagna\u201d garden, but that\u2019s about it. I\u2019ve read and listened. Personally, I know my limitations, and they are not quite ready for the full garden experience. I\u2019ll leave the gardening to my family members.\nDave\u2019s parents have planted a garden for as long as I can remember. Ever since the girls were toddlers, my father-in-law has had a garden of some shape or form in their backyard. I know it extended far before they were born because my husband has mentioned it, but I really remember it when they were about two or three and they would willingly traipse after their PopPop and pull out all the zucchinis that he asked them to. Even the dog got into the action when he found out that she went wild for wooly thyme and would roll around in it for hours on end.\nWhen we got back from Germany this May, the dehumidifier in Dave\u2019s parents\u2019 house caught fire, and they were forced from their house in the middle of the night. They both made it out safely, but not before the smoke damage wrecked havoc with the electrical and pretty much everything in the house. For the longest time, they thought they would be back in around July 4th, but a dangerous stretch of derechos caused massive power outages in their town and kept them out for another two weeks. Through it all, they came back to the garden and kept it green and growing, sharing their bounty with the house keepers at the hotel where they were staying as well as the oil workers who have come into the area for the fracking industry.\nOur quick trip through Ohio lasted only five days. The Girls are getting ready to pack up their apartment and move a few houses down the street, and school will be starting back up again for me in just about a month. Thankfully, we were able to bring a little bit of home back with us: a Miami t-shirt for Dave, some yarn from my sister, several good LEGO ideas for birthdays, a plethora of stories from my nephews and my niece, and about two bushels of produce from Donna and Pat\u2019s garden. The Girls took tons of zucchinis as Jordan has discovered zucchini boats as well as kale for some chips, yellow squash for a quick dinner, and green onions to make it all savory. Me? I took home half a dozen cucumbers, two zucchinis, and the leftover yellow squash. My plan is to try Rachel\u2019s zucchini boat recipe one night and make some yellow squash fitters later in the week.\nBut first . . . a quick batch of refrigerator pickles I found on Beverly\u2019s blog and a cucumber-cherry tomato salad. Only problem? I have a real issue with reading teaspoons and tablespoons correctly. I frequently put in the wrong amount, which is odd because I\u2019m a very good reader . . . I just forget about that whole t. vs. T. thingy. And you think it would have sunk in by now since I\u2019ve done it twice in the past, and I know damn well that I did it this time, too. Should make for a devastatingly crispy and salty pickle, don\u2019t you think?\nCategories: Food, Summer\nbeverlyorw says:\nCan\u2019t wait to hear how they turn out!\nI love that your in laws are sharing the produce with the people at their hotel.\nI think that it made a lot of people happy with the produce. Jordan is thinking about making the pickles, too . . . I\u2019ll have to make another batch since I know I messed up that whole measurement thing. Must not rely on the phone when I make things . . . grrr.\nI will be making those zucchini boats tonight. A perfect way to use up extra veggies as well as add variety. My limitations are much like yours. I happily support my local farmers. \ud83d\ude42\nMine are in the oven right now . . . and there was enough of the tasty filling to snack on while I wait. Cannot wait to eat the full thing!\n\u00ab Road To Nowhere One, Two Step \u00bb",

        "raw_content": "Remarks at a UN Security Council Briefing on the Situation in the Central African Republic\nAmbassador Michele J. Sison\nU.S. Deputy Representative to the United Nations\nThank you, Mr. President. President Touad\u00e9ra, thank you for briefing us this afternoon here in the Security Council, and thank you also for your tireless efforts to advance peace and development in the Central African Republic. We know the challenges you face are many, but we know also that you have already consolidated gains. We stand ready to work with you to rebuild the Central African Republic. And thank you also to Under-Secretary-General Ladsous and Ambassador Hilale for your briefings.\nWe welcome the many commitments made by rebuild the Central African Republic's friends and partners at the November donors\u2019 conference. Together we must sustain our focus and deliver on those commitments and pledges. President Touad\u00e9ra, your government is the lynchpin and the guide. We look forward to your leadership and your vision as you work to extend state authority, build institutions, fight impunity, promote reconciliation, and disarm armed groups, with support from your friends and partners.\nThe United States has committed to helping you rebuild and professionalize the armed forces, police, and gendarmerie consistent with your national security policy and consistent with the five-year Recovery and Peacebuilding Plan. We believe a genuine disarmament, demobilization, repatriation, and reintegration process can only be accomplished and sustained alongside genuine security sector reform.\nWith reference to the demobilization, repatriation, and reintegration process, we agree that the Central African Republic government must be able to exercise authority over its entire territory. Armed actors must understand that their future lies not as militants on the margins of society, but as productive, contributing citizens of the Central African Republic. Their futures, security, and livelihoods are intertwined with the stabilization and long-term recovery of the Central African Republic. Mr. President, this process is not easy; it does not happen quickly, and it does not involve overlooking crimes by allowing for blanket amnesty.\nBut we also need to acknowledge that members of armed groups are often unwilling to disarm until they know they will have a role and a voice in their government, including in the security sector. We will continue to urge that security services be fully vetted, ethnically representative, and regionally balanced in order to achieve an equitable distribution. There cannot be parts of the Central African Republic that citizens are afraid to travel to, or enclaves they are afraid to leave. We envision a day in which diverse, professional, well-trained CAR security forces are composed of citizens of different religions and backgrounds, and can ably protect the entirety of the country.\nWe commend MINUSCA for its efforts to work hand-in-hand with the Central African Republic government to rebuild its security services in a way that mentors and truly builds the capacity of police, gendarmerie, and military. MINUSCA\u2019s early, \u201cpre-DDR\u201d programs in some of the Central African Republic\u2019s most fragile areas, and its innovative community violence reduction programs have laid the foundation for a stronger partnership between the Central African Republic and the international community on more robust strategic planning and reforms.\nWhen we see violence like the recent confrontations in Bambari, we are reminded that we still have much work to do. We commend MINUSCA for its willingness to take risks, for its support to the government, for its protection of civilians, and the provision of security in the Central African Republic.\nI would also like to take a moment to note that this week marked one year since the passage of Resolution 2272 on Sexual Exploitation and Abuse by peacekeepers. MINUSCA has taken steps in the right direction but we have not yet wiped out the problem. We must remain dedicated to preventing acts of sexual exploitation and abuse, holding perpetrators to account, and helping victims receive the assistance that they need. In closing, we look forward to working to make MINUSCA an even more efficient and more effective peacekeeping mission.",

This week, everyone\u2019s newsfeeds have been flooded with \u201cA Look Back\u201d, videos that Facebook has customized just for you to take a trip down memory lane and relive your time as a Facebook member. I have to admit, I even jumped on the bandwagon and had my own video made (and saved it on my computer, *insert millennial joke here*)\nHowever, in the past decade: Facebook, Twitter, and other social media channels have evolved far past just being a tool for teens to socialize. Social Media has become an amazing way for businesses to connect with their audience in a fast and efficient way. Utilizing these channels have allowed companies to pinpoint what their customers or clients are interested in, then they can create content especially geared towards certain groups of people - Enabling them to literally enter the homes of their target audience.\nSocial Media has even created jobs for thousands of people, there is an entire industry built upon connecting with consumers, gaining exposure, and educating an audience. You can hold contests on your Facebook page to entice followers to like to share your page, you can have an online customer service that\u2019s available at anyone\u2019s fingertips, you can even send gifts through the website; the possibilities are quite literally endless.\nIn closing, as we celebrate a decade of Facebook this week, it\u2019s hard to imagine a world where your relationships aren't defined as \u201cFacebook official\u201d, where poking someone isn\u2019t an awkward human action as much as it\u2019s just a way to say \u201chello\u201d, and where we truly learned what it meant to \u201clike\u201d something.

        "raw_content": "\u201cMy ex wants to get our daughter a cell phone, but I don\u2019t think she\u2019s ready.\u201d\n\u201cMy ex constantly calls and texts our son when he is with me, and it is affecting the quality of our time together.\u201d\n\u201cMy ex won\u2019t give me the password to our children\u2019s phones so I can monitor their online activity.\u201d\n\u201cMy ex blocked me from the kids\u2019 phones so I can\u2019t call them.\u201d\nIn the last five years, conflicts between parents over children\u2019s smartphone use have skyrocketed. Over three-quarters of Americans own a smartphone, a number that has risen exponentially since 2011. In December 2016, the Google Play Store surpassed 2.6 million apps, and there are approximately 2.2 million apps in the Apple App Store. Smartphones have become an inevitable fact of life for most of the country, but their popularity has increased so significantly and so recently, that the science of how smartphones affect our lives has not had a chance to catch up.\nSmartphone use is even prevalent amount infants, with apps such as YouTube Kids soaring in popularity. A survey done in 2015 found that more than one-third of parents allowed their children to use a smartphone before that child\u2019s first birthday. The American Academy of Pediatrics, however, discourages the use of smartphones with infants under two years old. Last year, pediatricians at the Hospital for Sick Children in Canada studied 900 infants between six months and two years old found that infants who spent at least 30 minutes using smartphones had a 49% increased risk of speech delays.\nThe average age for an American child to receive their first smartphone is 10 years old. Even at this age, however, smartphones may still have negative effects on a child\u2019s psyche. Jean Twenge, a professor of psychology at San Diego State University, collected data from 500,000 children across the United States between 2010 and 2015, and found that children who spent more than three hours per day on a smart phone were 34% more likely to consider or attempt suicide, and that number jumped to 48% for children who spent more than five hours per day on a device. She has not concluded, however, whether smartphone use leads to the depression or if depression leads to increased smartphone use.\nWhat is known, however, is that depression is up among children. The number of children expressing depressive episodes between 2010 and 2016. Suicide rates for teens have also increased, and suicide among teen girls is at a 40-year high, according to the CDC.\nSmartphones can be seriously addictive to children, and the number of children and teens enrolling in \u201ctechnology addiction\u201d treatment has risen sharply in the last decade. Smartphones can also affect sleep patterns and sleep quality, and there are additional concerns about cyberbullying and a child, whether it be by accident or intentional, stumbling upon disturbing sexual or violent images or videos on the internet. There are also apps, such as the \u201cSecret Calculator\u201d app, that can enable children to hide files, photos, and videos from their parents behind an app that appears to simply be a phone\u2019s default calculator app.\nMerely not allowing teens to have access to smartphones is not so simple of an answer, however. According to a 2015 Pew Research Center study, nearly 75% of teens now have access to a smartphone. Data analyzed by Verto Analytics found that teens unlock their devices 95 times per day, on average.\nThere are, however, some upsides to smartphone use. A study done at the University of Minnesota among teens with noncustodial fathers who lived out-of-state found that smartphone communication between teens and a nonresident parent can improve such relationships.\nThere is still a great deal of research that needs to be done on the effect of smartphones on the brains of children and teens, but smartphone use among these groups is here to stay. Psychologists recommend that parents use consistent rules about when smartphone use is an is not allowed, that parents consider not allowing smartphone use overnight, and, particularly for younger children, that parents monitor their children\u2019s online activities and keep track of their passwords\nParents should also consider having a conversation with their children, no matter how uncomfortable, to explain that information, photos, and videos shared or posted online could very likely end up being viewed by those the child did not intend to view the information and that children should not say or share anything they would not want a parent to see. Experts warn, however, that parents should make sure to reassure their children that they will not be punished for letting a parent know about cyberbullying or other inappropriate communication directed at that child.\nHow does a parent reduce conflict with an ex-partner regarding cell phone use? First, in the absence of extenuating circumstances, it is important to give a child some level of privacy to speak to the other parent. Respecting and being consistent with the rules related to the smartphone developed by another parent can also help to reduce conflict, as can communicating with the other parent to develop sensible rules to be used in both households.\nA parent should also resist the temptation to excessively call or text a child while the child is with the other parent (in the absence of an emergency) and to respect the other parent\u2019s time with the child. Many parents avoid conflict by agreeing upon a window of time in which the child can call or text with the other parent to check in or say good night.\nThough this subject matter is fairly new, an experienced family law attorney can help a parent find options to reduce conflict with a co-parent surrounding smartphone issues, and to negotiate reasonable rules for cell phone use with which both parents can agree.",

        "raw_content": "How Does Ibuprofen Work\n11 Jun, 2012 How does it work?\nIbuprofen is a anti-inflammatory drug that is commonly available over the counter for the relief of pain, fever and inflammation. The drug is derived from propanoic acid and it was discovered in the 1960\u2032s by Andrew Dunlop and colleagues, who worked for the research arm of a pharmaceutical company in the UK. Originally the drug required a prescription, but after showing to be relatively safe and well tolerated it was permitted for sale over the counter. Let\u2019s find out how this medicine relieves pain, inflammation and fever in the human body.\nHow does ibuprofen work?\nIbuprofen inhibits the activity of enzymes known as cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2). The COX-2 enzyme is responsible for converting arachidonic acid to a chemical known as prostaglandin H2, which can also be converted to other forms of prostaglandins. These prostaglandins are known to have a major role in causing inflammation and pain in the body. By preventing the prostaglandins from being created the ibuprofen prevents the symptoms from occurring.\nIbuprofen can usually be taken in standard doses without any side effects. However, some minor side effects such as nausea, indigestion, diarrhea, constipation, bleeding from the nose and dizziness can occur. When the drug is taken against the directions or in prolonged and larger doses more serious side effects can occur. This can include gastrointestinal bleeding and ulcers.\nThe inhibition of COX-1 is thought to be responsible for some of the unwanted side effects common to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID), such as ibuprofen. The development of drugs that only inhibit the COX-2 enzyme will be able to prevent some of these problems.\nWhat Causes Stomach Ulcers",

        "raw_content": "Who Discovered Mitochondria\nThe mitochondria are organelles found in many different types of cells. They are often called the \u201cpower plant\u201d or \u201cpowerhouse\u201d of the cell because they produce the adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is a source of chemical energy. However, they also have a number of other important functions within the cell as well. Mitochondria are tiny, with a diameter of approximately 0.5-1 micrometer (micron). This means that they cannot be seen with the human eye and require a microscope to view. Let\u2019s find out who discovered this important organelle.\nWho discovered the mitochondria?\nThere is no definitive answer to this question because the discovery of this organelle, and its function, was a continuing process. It is thought that the first observation of the mitochondria occurred in the 1840\u2019s, but at this time no one was sure of what they were or what function they had. In 1857 Albert von K\u00f6lliker described granules in the cells (most likely mitochondria) and this discovery was followed by many other scientists. They were first identified as cell organelles by German pathologist Richard Altmann. He was studying animal cells and saw the small granules in the protoplasm within the cell. He named these granules bioblasts and hypothesized that they were basic units of cellular activity. Carl Benda was the first to name these granules mitochondria (from the Greek mitos, which means thread, and chondros, which means granule). The first scientist to correctly identify that the mitochondria were an important part of cellular respiration was B. F. Kingsbury in 1912. From here scientists were able to discover the important functions of this organelle.\nBritish biochemist Peter D. Mitchell was the first to discover the method that ATP is created in the mitochondria. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1978.\nWhat is the Function of the Mitochondria",

Outrageous, right? And yet, I\u2019d claim that this is less of a stretch than to have projected where we\u2019d be today in 1958. Computing chips are being embedded in everything from thermostats, cars, cameras, appliances\u2026 even my fridge has several microprocessors. I haven\u2019t counted the number of devices in my house that create data, but it\u2019s dozens at least.\nAmidst all the discussions about smart devices, autonomous vehicles, mobile networks, and automation, one thing that isn\u2019t often discussed where all that data is going to be stored. The sexy part is in the creation of the data. And equally exciting are the opportunities presented by AI and data analysis. But not so sexy, but fundamentally important, is the storage of the data, particularly the cost of storage and speed with which data can be ingested.\nThe creation, storage, and analysis of data will be the fuel of innovation for nearly every major technology advance to come. From facial recognition, to predictive maintenance, to advertising, the promise of AI and machine learning is transforming our lives. But without the ability to store enormous quantities of data at ever lower costs is the foundation on which all of this depends.\nThe first generation of cloud storage, what we call \u201cCloud 1.0,\u201d is too slow and too costly to meet the exploding demand for capacity. And it\u2019s too slow. 10 years ago when products like Amazon S3 were designed, the rate of data production was a fraction of what it is today. As we point out in the book,, the cost of data storage associated with a fully autonomous vehicle could exceed the cost of the vehicle itself by 10x based on today\u2019s storage costs.\nThat\u2019s because we are still using an industrial age lens, built on the economics of scarcity, to view the opportunities that the cloud creates for a future of limitless data; it\u2019s the equivalent of trying to compete using waterwheels to power a modern factory. For example, I can remember not too long ago my CIO would blow his lid any time my email consumed more than 100MBs of storage. This is the \u201cscarcity\u201d model where the storage of data is viewed as something to be minimized. The new way to look at is to keep everything and focus on ways to extract value from knowing that everything is there forever. Data storage becomes the new electricity \u2013 a cheap and abundant resource that powers everything. We call this \u201cThe Bottomless Cloud.\u201d\nIn the same way that electric power and the evolution of utilities fueled the growth of industrialization and the incredible innovation of the 20th century by allowing companies to focus on what they were best at rather than the generation and management of power, The Bottomless Cloud makes data storage an easy to afford pure utility. It\u2019s cheap, simple, reliable, and easy to use. Complexities like multiple tiers of storage, punitive egress fees, and nickel and dime usage charges \u2013 all typical of Cloud 1.0 storage \u2013 will give way to a far simpler and cheaper Cloud 2.0 model.\nThe Bottomless Cloud challenges the scarcity-driven mindset by taking a hard look at how industrial age business models are failing us by regarding data as a cost that needs to be constrained, rather than an near infinite resource that can be mined to build entirely new sources of value. From Uber, to Nike, to Netflix, The Bottomless Cloud is defining the tenets of success in the 21st century by changing the way we view data. Data is moving from being a byproduct of business to being the source of value that drives new business.\nI\u2019m thrilled to have teamed up with my long-time colleague Tom Koulopoulos to write The Bottomless Could and to provide business leaders with a clear and straightforward understanding of the incredible power of the cloud and a world of data abundance; it\u2019s an entirely new way to think about the value and the role of data in building tomorrow\u2019s enterprise.\nThe Bottomless Cloud provides a compelling vision of a future in which data abundance will alter nearly every aspect of how we live, work, and play.",

The Rockets won, 124-115. (AP Photo/Marcio Jose Sanchez)\nNBA suspends Ingram, Rondo, Paul in Lakers-Rockets dustup\nLOS ANGELES (AP) \u2014 Lakers teammates Brandon Ingram and Rajon Rondo and Chris Paul of the Rockets were suspended without pay Sunday for an on-court fight, with Paul taking the heaviest financial hit.\nIngram was suspended four games, Rondo will sit out three games and Paul two games. The NBA handed down the punishments a day after the incident in the fourth quarter at Staples Center.\nThe penalty was costliest to Paul, who has the highest salary of the trio and was fined a total of $491,782. Paul is president of the NBA Players' Association. He began serving his suspension Sunday night and wasn't at the arena when the Rockets lost to the Clippers 115-112. Rondo will be docked a total of $186,207, while Ingram's total is $158,816.\nHouston coach Mike D'Antoni disagreed with the severity of Paul's penalty.\n\"It's just not equitable,\" he said. \"If you wanted to suspend him one (game) I get it, just to make a statement. Then you're talking monetarily, he's paying three times more than the other guys are paying for missing games? That doesn't seem to be right.\"\nIngram and Rondo will start their suspensions Monday night when the Lakers host the San Antonio Spurs.\nThe league said Ingram was suspended for aggressively escalating the altercation and throwing a punch in the direction of Paul, confronting referee Jason Phillips in a hostile manner, and instigating the overall incident by shoving Rockets guard James Harden.\n\"It is what it is,\" Harden said. \"I don't know how to decide how many games.\"\nEric Gordon, who started in place of Paul against the Clippers, defended his teammate, saying, \"If somebody is attacking you, you got to somewhat protect yourself.\"\nRondo was suspended for instigating a physical altercation with Paul, and spitting and throwing multiple punches at the Rockets star. Paul was suspended for poking at and making contact Rondo's face and throwing multiple punches at him.\n\"What is he supposed to do? Just stand there and get spit on and then take a punch in the face and say, 'Well, that's OK,'\" said D'Antoni, who called Rondo's spitting \"pretty disgusting.\"\n\"In the heat of the moment when somebody does that, that's tough, that's really tough,\" D'Antoni said.\nThe Rockets led 109-108 with 4:13 remaining when Ingram fouled Harden and then shoved him and confronted Phillips after getting a technical foul.\nIngram, Paul and Rondo were all ejected. Houston won 124-115, spoiling the Lakers' home debut for LeBron James.\n\"We don't want this to happen again,\" said NBA executive vice president Kiki VanDeWeghe, who handed down the penalties. \"(We are) sending a clear message that this is not acceptable behavior and you cannot do this. So in this particular instance, the multiple-game suspensions are pretty severe both to their teams and financially to the players.\"\nThe suspension to Ingram is the longest for an on-court incident since April 2012, when Metta World Peace of the Lakers received seven games. World Peace elbowed Harden, who was then playing for Oklahoma City, in a game also at Staples Center to earn that penalty, the irony being Harden is the one who Ingram fouled to start Saturday's fracas.\nThere have been longer suspensions in recent years, but none for an on-court altercation than what Ingram got.\n\"We have so few of these and we're very lucky in that regard,\" VanDeWeghe said. \"This game is played with a lot of passion and it's an aggressive game and obviously there is contact in the game. Our players play with a lot of respect for each other and for everybody else.\"\nWith Paul and Rondo, that hasn't always the case.\nThey have a history of raising the ire of the other, going back to at least 2009 during a Boston-New Orleans game. Rondo was with the Celtics and Paul with the Hornets when players from both sides had to get between the two point guards as tempers seemed to flare after a game where they got tangled up in the second quarter.\nVanDeWeghe clearly indicated that Rondo did not acknowledge spitting on Paul.\n\"Rajon has his own view of what happened,\" VanDeWeghe said. \"I think that we had a clear view that, however you want to interpret it, that there was a spitting in Chris Paul's direction. I think I'm going to leave it at that.\"",

        "raw_content": "Bureaucracy Phone Tag\nA week ago today my podiatrist found out that a growth on my foot was a melanoma. She was so concerned that I know about this that, since I wasn't home when she called and she was leaving the office, she left her cell phone number on the answering machine. When she returned my call later that evening, we decided it best to contact Oncology within my medical provider to see what they believed would be the best option. At that point the podiatrist was figuring she could do the surgery.\nOn Monday Oncology got back to her. They advised that she contact General Surgery to do the operation and gave her a list of names. One she recognized from our former conversations, so she told me to call the practice. I would find out later that she had called the GS and they had told her that no referral would be necessary.\nSide note: I did have an active referral to the same surgeon to consult about my possible mastectomies.\nI called GS and explained the situation, and the scheduler said that I needed to talk to Orthopedics/Podiatry since the melanoma was on my foot. She gave me the number, which I called immediately. The very nice scheduler I spoke with there heard \"Melanoma\" and told me they couldn't do the surgery, and transferred me to the proper office... which happened to be GS. The second scheduler was far more helpful, found the order (We now believe she saw the breast consult referral and thought it was one from the Podiatrist), but she wanted to make sure so sent a message to the nurse who works with the surgeon.\nThe nurse called back to clarify some things, but she could only find the breast referral. She said she would call the podiatrist to figure things out. I waited around until it was time to leave the house, then I called and gave the folks my cell phone number. I had not previously because I tend not to have me cell phone with me and charged, but in this case I did.\nThe call must have come while I was driving, because when I got there I had a missed call message, but no voicemail. I called missed number and it was GS, and there were no notes as to who had called. Except that suddenly there was a note that the nurse had called and left a voicemail. As soon as I got off the phone it buzzed, and there was a message. The GS nurse said she'd talked to the podiatrist's nurse, who had told her to disregard the referral until she could talk to the Podiatrist to find out what was going on, and that further communication should be with the podiatrist's nurse.\nI did not receive a call from the podiatrist's nurse during the day, or at least if I did she did't leave a message. I tried calling after getting home from The Yarn Store and just caught the nurse, who was very confused because she didn't realize she was supposed to call me. Since the podiatrist had already left for the day, she said she would try to find out on Wednesday what was going on.\nOn Wednesday I found out that the podiatrist hadnot told anyone to belay the referral, and that there had been no order because when she called GS they had told her none would be needed. I once again called GS and left a message. The GS nurse returned the call and said that the podiatry nurse had just faxed over the pathology report and the GS would look it over on Thursday and would decide if she would do the surgery.\nI had a followup appointment from my surgery on January 19th today (Thursday) and the GS office is downstairs from the followup appointment. I went downstairs afterward to see if there was any news. The nurse was with a patient but said the surgeon had not had a chance to look at the pathology report yet.\nI finally just got the call from the GP nurse, who has scheduled an appointment with the surgeon next week to discuss the operation. I just hope that this is a pre-surgery consultation and not one to decide if she'll do it at all. And only a week has elapsed since my podiatrist left her cell phone number so I could be informed and get things rolling as soon as possible.",

        "raw_content": "Featured in Blended Families, Divorce & Separation, Mental Health, Single Parents\nMaintaining healthy boundaries during a divorce\nMy boyfriend is in the middle of a complicated divorce and I find myself taking on a lot of the stress.\nMy boyfriend's complicated + expensive divorce stresses me out. How do I live with this?\nI posted a few months ago and it made me feel so much less alone in my situation... so now I'm back for more. For over a year I've been dating a single dad. He's the best. He's raising 2 kids mostly on his own. The kids seem to like me and I've been getting to know them better. My boyfriend and their mom are in the process of getting divorced. It is complicated for many reasons I don't really want to get into here (the kids, mental health, less-than-attentive lawyers, money, extended family baggage, distance... especially money.) My question is: how do *I* live with this? How do I stay sane amid a crazy and stressful and overwhelming situation? I feel like I am way too invested in it all and there is nothing I can do to fix any of it. The numbers and the details make me so anxious. I do lots of yoga and try hard to manage my own energy and do my own things. He and I are going to experiment with not talking about any of it for the next week. That means he'll need to vent to other people. I love him and want to be there for him but I can't drive myself insane in the process. Have any of you dealt with secondhand divorce stress? How did you manage it? Did it ever get easier? Thank you!!!\nWhoa! Wish I could help you. I would be out of there so fast! Bad vibes. For me personally I think it\u2019s a red flag when someone goes relationship right to another relationship. There needs to be a cleanse time. That\u2019s just me, I don\u2019t know the detail, wish you the best!\nThanks for the kind words! It's a long story and there was some cleanse time.... We're experimenting with new boundaries and I'm feeling a lot better about it than I was when I wrote this original post (which seems hidden on the Android app....) Thanks again!\nGlad to hear! \ud83e\udd17\nYessss! Thank you Teena. I agree. It is none of my business.... Also I know this baggage isn't really going anywhere so a lot of it is about how I relate to the situation. He's started sharing less of the details with me and that has made it a little easier.\nI've had enough I've been waiting for my boyfriend to propose...he said when I lost weight when...",

        "raw_content": "To be a new you in 2016 you must be disciplined. Discipline is training that corrects, molds, or perfects the mental faculties or moral character. Lev. 20:7 (NKJV) states: \u201cConsecrate yourselves therefore, and be holy, for I am the Lord your God.\u201d You can\u2019t live any old way you please and expect to be a new person. You must be holy!\nHoliness doesn\u2019t mean you are perfect as a human being. It means you are living in God\u2019s forgiveness and growing in His grace daily. Romans 12:1-2 (NKJV) states: \u201cI beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.\u201d\nYou are not your own! Paul tells us that we have been bought with a price; the precious blood of Jesus on the CROSS at Calvary. Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. 1 Cor.6:19-20 (NKJV) states: \u201cOr do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God\u2019s.\u201d\nGive your God a clean house in which to live in 2016. Billy Graham states: \u201cThe great Christians throughout history have been men and women of great personal discipline.\u201d To be a new you in 2016 you must be disciplined.",

        "raw_content": "Below is a quick translation that I wrote of The Dinosaur (El dinosaurio) by Augusto Monterroso. I did this as an exercise in one of my Fall 2018 classes Here and Now: Millennial Latin American Fiction and Graphic Novels. I made slight adaptations upon later rumination, but decided on this version mere hours after leaving the class.\nEl dinosaurio (Spanish, Original)\nThe Dinosaur (English, My translation)\nWhen they awoke, the dinosaur persisted.\nThe Dinosaur (English, common translation)\nWhen (he/she/it/they) woke up, the dinosaur was still there.\nThe Dinosaur is famous for being one of if not the shortest story, and similarly famous for being untranslatable. The sensation of the poem is incredibly difficult to grasp in English, and many people have analyzed this poem to no end, so I am not going to do that, but instead make a few select remarks about why I translated this story the way I did.\nFrom what I could google, other people have translated \u201cdespert\u00f3\u201d as \u201cawoke\u201d, however I was unable to find any other version in which the verb \u201cpersisted\u201d is used. Choosing \u201cawoke\u201d was easy \u2014 the concision replicates the Spanish verb conjugation much better than \u201cwoke up\u201d, even if \u201cawoke\u201d is no longer in the common vernacular.\nThe easiest part of the translation was to use the pronoun \u201cthey\u201d in its singular form, especially because even if there is some confusion as to the number, I think that adds to the charm.\nI knew from the beginning that translating \u201ctodav\u00eda estaba all\u00ed\u201d as \u201cwas still there\u201d did not feel right to me. The stakes had been lowered, and the English lacked the punch of the Spanish original. The first word I considered as a substitute was \u201cremained\u201d but again, the stakes felt incredibly low. Even so, I liked \u201cremained\u201d better; it was more concise, if not as elegant as the Spanish, so I stuck with it for a few moments.\nAll the same, I searched my psyche for a replacement, and had my eureka moment where I settled on \u201cpersisted\u201d for a few reasons. The first is, again, concision. This is a translation of the shortest short story after all. The second reason is that persisting represents a consistent, continued movement toward a goal, a stubbornness, and those are the emotions that I felt when reading this story. There is a sharp and loaded continuation present with \u201cpersisted\u201d and as such I decided that was the route I wanted to take.\nI am not particularly familiar with scholarship regarding this work, but even a quick Google search showed me that it\u2019s out there if you want to look for it.\nPlease do let me know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, either by commenting on this page or via my contact form!\n1 thought on \u201cTranslation of The Dinosaur (El dinosaurio) by Augusto Monterroso\u201d\nPingback: A New Semester Begins!

        "raw_content": "Talking Policy: Veronica Herrera on Clientelism in Water Provision in Mexico\nAugust 25, 2017 March 8, 2018 Mexico, Veronica Herrera, water\nProvision of public services, such as water, is often subject to the political motivations of government leaders. In her book, Water and Politics: Clientelism and Reform in Urban Mexico, Veronica Herrera analyzes water services in eight Mexican cities and shows how electoral considerations can either incentivize reform or perpetuate a cycle of low-quality resource provision. World Policy Journal spoke with Herrera, an assistant professor of political science at the University of Connecticut, about water politics in Mexico and how communities have lobbied for better and more equitable services.\nWORLD POLICY JOURNAL: Can you give me a little bit of background on your book Water and Politics? Why did you choose this topic? And why did you choose to focus on eight cities in particular?\nVERONICA HERRERA: When I started working on this project, I wanted to understand variation in government capacity and quality of public services\u2014why some cities provide better public services than others, why some governments perform more effectively than others. Focusing on water opens up a whole new area of study about the environment, too. I chose the eight cities in Mexico to have variation between high performers and low performers. I wanted to understand the situation in Mexico, a country that represents a lot of other countries that have shifted from authoritarianism to democratization. Mexico in particular shifted from one-party rule to electoral competition and decentralization. So local governments are as of the 1990s responsible for providing public services in the context of electoral competition\u2014they now have to both provide public services and win elections. You see these macro trends of democratization and decentralization in Mexico and elsewhere, and yet you also see such variation on the ground in terms of performance. Why are these processes of decentralization and democratization leading to better-performing public services in some cases and not others? Of the cities I chose, four are doing really well, and have reformed their water services, and four that didn\u2019t reform are doing poorly. Two of the low-performer cases, Nezahualcoytol and Veracruz Port, are doing much worse than before, when the central government was doing everything for them.\nWPJ: You described in your book the ways in which different political parties used control of water infrastructure to manipulate elections. Thinking about the examples you give in the book, as well as the Bolivian water crisis in Cochabamba and the water issues in Flint, Michigan, how does the way politicians control water change across different levels of government and within different countries?\nVH: Broadly, politicians care a lot about the water sector because it\u2019s of such high political relevance everywhere, but especially in developing countries where it\u2019s seen as a social equity or welfare issue. In low-income communities, services can be provided in exchange for votes. The quality of water provision varies from one place to another not due to technical constraints. It\u2019s not the technical know-how or the financial component that\u2019s lacking, even in developing countries. It really comes down to political considerations. If you want to understand why politicians control water and intervene in water distribution, you have to look at the simple fact that they\u2019re trying to get re-elected. And you have to look at who their constituents are, and how water plays into their voting patterns. In the cities I look at in my book, it\u2019s clear that politicians responding to low-income citizens, rather than industrial users or middle-class communities petitioning for better quality services, became entrenched in this cycle of offering low-quality services that were essentially free but were also increasingly deteriorating. There was an exchange of really poor water services for continuous political support.\nIn contrast, in cities where new political leaders come from centrist parties or center-right parties that are catering to middle-class voters or industrial users that need high-quality water services for manufacturing, you start to see processes of reform over time. Part of the puzzle is whom these politicians are responding to electorally. Public services like water are manipulated\u2014particularly through clientelism, an exchange of a material resource such as a public service, cash, food, or housing for the vote. A clientelistic exchange is also more likely to happen at the local level than at higher tiers of government because local politicians such as mayors are often closer to what\u2019s happening on the ground than a president or a governor.\nWPJ: How does the administration of water services differ under private versus public ownership?\nVH: That\u2019s a great question, and certainly one that\u2019s been one of the most contentious areas of research on water politics. There\u2019s been a lot of attention paid to community backlash\u2014you mentioned the Cochabamba case, and there are others. There\u2019s also a lot of attention paid to companies coming and privatizing public water supplies. One of the things I found interesting in my research, though, was that the reforms I examined are not privatization at all\u2014there\u2019s a commercialization aspect. These public-service providers are attempting to put an economic value on water supplies, but not full cost recovery. It\u2019s not so different than what we have in the U.S., where fees are determined by how much you consume. It moves from being free to having some economic valuation, also depending on how much money you make\u2014that is, lower-income residents receive subsidies. The four reformed cities I looked at\u2014Naucalpan, Celaya, Irapuato, and Le\u00f3n\u2014drastically improved their water services, and one of the ways they did this was by increasing tariffs for the first time in decades, especially for high-income consumers, along with a cross-subsidy for low-income consumers.\nYet there was so much backlash: Communities organized and mobilized, and there were strikes, sit-ins, and burning of effigies at the city hall. It was not as extreme as the Cochabamba case, where there was armed violence and a stage of siege, but there was a lot of conflict\u2014and it was with a public-service provider. There\u2019s going to be social mobilization against these types of reforms, whether it\u2019s a private concessionaire or a public provider, because communities\u2014especially low-income communities\u2014will resist the placement of an economic valuation on the service. However, when water is privatized, some of the accountability present when it\u2019s in the hands of a public-service provider is lost. Even if tariffs increase and changes are made that citizens may or may not agree with, they can still file petitions with the government and hold the government and public officials accountable. With a private concessionaire, it becomes much more problematic, because who do you hold accountable? The mayor or the governor will be quick to say, \u201cWell, it\u2019s not my problem, it\u2019s the private concessionaire\u2019s problem.\u201d\nThe privatization of water services has had mixed results in Latin America and in other regions, but private concessionaires, especially international concessionaires, have consistently failed to deliver on their promises of increasing or updating capital investments. That makes privatizing water in developing countries not particularly effective, even if you don\u2019t disagree with it ideologically, because they\u2019re not investing a lot of funds into the infrastructure. This makes sense because investing is not very lucrative, especially in large low-income communities. That\u2019s why privatization has been a failure in some places\u2014not to mention the problems with equity and access when there aren\u2019t good, targeted subsidies for the poor.\nWPJ: How have communities fought for better access to water? What strategies have been most effective?\nVH: In the low-income communities I was studying in the book, mobilization was often led by leaders of opposition parties, like the PRI and PRD. They tried to organize their bases on the ground to do strikes and sit-ins and burn effigies. In part this was to derail the new political parties, in many cases the right-of-center PAN, from implementing these reforms, but it was also the first time the PRI was out of power after being in power for 70 years. And so it was really contentious, even dangerous, in some places for these new political leaders. There was real frustration and anger on the part of citizens, but there was also a lot of political organizing to make it into a partisan issue.\nOne of the tools that low-income citizens in particular had was mass mobilization, which might be the only way for them to get the government\u2019s attention. If you are middle class and educated you might have more access to government or connections with elected officials, but when you are poor, one of the ways to get the government\u2019s attention is to get organized and take to the streets. In some cases, communities that mobilized were able to extract concessions, such as reduced pricing, subsidies, and avoiding metering systems in their neighborhoods. These communities felt the reforms to be regressive and hurtful. A key takeaway from the book is that these are not just technocratic reforms; they have to be negotiated with the communities involved. The more the players involved are able to demand concessions and give concessions, the better chance the reforms will be successful.\nWPJ: Over the years, how much has changed in the cities you studied?\nVH: When I study these cities, I\u2019m looking at reforms over a 20-year period. In some cases the reforms are consolidating and strengthening, but new challenges always come up. One thing that changed was the volume of protests and conflicts surrounding the elimination of clientelistic water provision and the imposition of these reforms and increasing water tariffs, though this is accompanied by improvements in water service. You still see some backlash, but the organized backlash in all the cities I examined isn\u2019t as common anymore because people get used to a new status quo where water is more costly but of better quality. Social conflict has diminished in the cities that reformed. But one of the major challenges in Mexican cities, as well as in other countries, is that when a new political party, or even just a new leader, takes office, they bring in their own people and replace all prior staff and often enact all new policy. There are new municipal governments every three years in Mexico. It\u2019s a miracle that anything functions properly at all. But the cities that reformed were able to overcome this challenge. There is always a risk that a new politician will go in a different direction\u2014a lot of politicians don\u2019t want to consolidate reforms made by a prior elected official because they want to put their own stamp on policy. But one of the reasons the high-reform cities performed so well was that citizens\u2014middle-class users, engineering associations, architecture associations, and in some cases industrial elites\u2014demanded reforms and then helped to oversee the implementation even as elected officials came in and out of office. This showed that with strong civil-society participation and oversight in water-sector reforms, success over time is more likely. These groups can check the overly controlling impulses of elected officials who sometimes want to act like monarchs. It\u2019s not a precise formula, but it\u2019s an ingredient in the sustainability of reforms over time.\nWPJ: It\u2019s like a perfect storm.\nVH: Exactly. That\u2019s why you see reforms in some cities and not others. The cities where I saw reform were the wealthier cities with higher concentrations of middle-class communities. It\u2019s complicated, and politically very sensitive, when you talk about water because it should be available for all. But I will suggest a flip side: One of the things I see in the low-reform cities is the dramatic and in some cases life-threatening deterioration of water services, because now the federal government isn\u2019t overseeing everything. In these cities, there is no reform, water quality continues to be poor, and city governments make no efforts to collect water fees. There\u2019s just no injection of money or resources to keep up with updates and infrastructure needs, which leads to lead poisoning, sewage lines interconnected with water lines, and all sorts of public-health crises. Those are often low-income cities, and it\u2019s tragic that there aren\u2019t federal subsidies or intervention by international development agencies to support those communities.\nIn the low-reform cities I looked at, some had piecemeal reform and in others there\u2019s nothing and the situation is really extreme. Responsibility is decentralized, so it\u2019s in the hands of the city. There\u2019s no interest from elected officials to upset the status quo and start charging for water because a lot of communities will not be able to pay very much anyway, but there\u2019s also no injection of resources to improve water services. That\u2019s why such a high percentage of consumers throughout the developing world don\u2019t have water service at all, but pay 50 to 80 to 100 times more for big containers of water from informal tankers. And it just gets worse, because whatever existing water infrastructure those cities have that\u2019s already limited and crumbling is getting more and more outdated. So it becomes a humanitarian crisis as well\u2014so the costs of not reforming are also very high.\nWPJ: What needs to happen for Mexico, or any other country for that matter, to improve its water system?\nVH: I wish I had the perfect answer, but unfortunately there\u2019s not a one-size-fits-all solution. If there was, we wouldn\u2019t have the crisis we\u2019re having. In the 1990s, there was a one-size-fits-all approach, but it was not an answer to the problem because an effective approach depends on solutions that consider the social, economic, and political conditions of a particular community. So one of the things I look at in my book is the economic makeup of a city. The distribution of industry, middle-class, lower-income, and residential consumers can indicate which reforms are likely to be most successful. We also have to consider the extent to which political parties are involved in the sector, what their preferences are, and which local economic and social actors they are aligned with, because those are the key players that will either help implement or completely block the reforms. There are local power players everywhere, and they have to be included in conversations about designing local solutions to improve water services. But people often don\u2019t want to hear about this because the one-size-fits-all solution is much more convenient and can be drafted from Washington, D.C., or Paris and then distributed everywhere. But information about the local context is needed to draft these proposals, and local support needs to sustain them after the architects of the reforms are no longer in the picture.\nSocial scientists who study water tend to either be pro-privatization or anti-privatization, and the question has become whether to commercialize it or not. One of the things I say in the book is that we have to get money to do infrastructure maintenance and provide services, and that\u2019s just step one. That doesn\u2019t mean we completely commercialize water services, but we do need to talk about money and where it\u2019s going to come from. And we need to remember equity and to remember that local coalitions are either going to support the reforms or block them, so getting their buy-in is absolutely critical.\n[Interview conducted by Emily Goldstein-McGowan]\n[Photo courtesy of Veronica Herrera]\nBalancing Profitability and Environmental Protection\nWorld Policy On Air, Ep. 134: \u201cInnovation at the Arctic Council\u201d\nA Cross-Border Culture\nThe Price of Mining Wealth in Chiapas\n\u201cNos Queremos Vivas\u201d: Acabar con el Feminicidio en Ju\u00e1rez, M\u00e9xico",

        "raw_content": "Tom completed his rounds, not really aware that he had followed Jerry\u2019s old habit of driving out to the east and west gates during the night. It wasn\u2019t strictly necessary, but he felt like it was a good idea, and frankly, he felt a sense of loyalty to Jerry that maybe there was more out there than they knew about or that the Powers-That-Be would admit to.\nThe radioactive jackrabbit incident had gotten to Jerry and he\u2019d lost it one night \u2013 his imagination just consumed him. Of course, Jerry had ultimately been fired, it wouldn\u2019t do to have your security guard freaking out all the time. Tom had kept quiet about the jackrabbit incident, but had worried about his friend as he became more reclusive and paranoid.\nTom, however, had a good job, a great family that didn\u2019t get too annoyed about his working all night, and for the most part, life was good. With the plant torn down, the work was pretty boring, but still, sometimes in the dark lonely shifts out where the stars were his only company, he had to wonder. Had Jerry really seen something, or was it just nerves and the stress he was under?\nWhen his shift ended, he left the site but swung around the south side so he could stop by the store on the way home. Off to the side of the road, he noticed a vehicle and, as he passed, something caught his attention. Reluctantly, he stopped and swung around to get a closer look.\nThe grey morning light showed the car was covered in dust, and a tag hung from the driver side mirror where at some point a cop had checked it out. It was far enough off the right of way that it hadn\u2019t been towed away, but it was clearly abandoned. Worse, Tom thought he recognized the car as Jerry\u2019s, and the bumper stickers confirmed it. \u201cWhat was it doing way out here?\u201d he thought.\nThe car was clearly empty, and locked. He scanned the area around the car, but saw nothing beyond a pile of beer cans and some other trash. He made a mental note to check up on Jerry when he got home.\nOf course, he forgot to stop by the store, and his night shift combined with Jerry\u2019s day shift at the mall made communications difficult. And, Jerry didn\u2019t have a cell phone, just a landline with an answering machine. After a couple of days with no response, he got pretty worried.\nWith the job changes plus his paranoia, Jerry had moved a few times and Tom wasn\u2019t sure where he lived. He became more alarmed when Jerry\u2019s boss at the mall reported that Jerry hadn\u2019t shown up for over a week. Calls to the police and nearby hospitals proved futile. The next evening when he drove past the car, he saw it was being towed off. He asked the tow truck driver what was up, but all the guy knew was that he had been told to haul it away.\nThe activity log at the the office noted that all traffic into the south half of the plant was prohibited. Some kind of special research or something, he supposed. But later that night he heard from George, one of the other guards, that it was something weird. Actual army soldiers had come in late that afternoon and spread out across the southern part of the site. Heavy arms, too.\nAs they were talking, a young woman came into the office. Cute, maybe in her twenties and carrying a rucksack, she was dressed for field work. \u201cCan you guys tell me what\u2019s going on?\u201d she asked, \u201cI got kicked out of my research area by some wacky army guys.\u201d\n\u201cWell, we don\u2019t really know, Karen,\u201d George replied, \u201cwe\u2019ve just been told to stay out of that area, too.\u201d\nHe introduced them and Tom learned that Karen was studying night creatures to determine if populations had rebounded since the plant demolition and closure. \u201cIt\u2019s kinda crazy,\u201d she reported in response to his question, \u201cAt first there were definitive increases in small mammals, but over the last year, the numbers have dropped. Also, I\u2019m not seeing carcasses that would suggest disease; it\u2019s as if the animals just disappeared. Many of my traps have been sprung or torn up.\u201d\n\u201cI also got reports that some of the nearby residents have seen an increase in missing dogs and cats. Usually this near the mountains we can attribute that to bobcat or mountain lion predation, but not in the numbers we\u2019re seeing.\u201d She shook her head, \u201cBut the big cats also stash their kills for later meals, and I\u2019ve looked in all the likely places and can\u2019t find anything. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s big cats.\u201d\n\u201cNot disease and not predation? Then what?\u201d Tom asked.\n\u201cIt\u2019s not big cat predation, but maybe something else. Humans?\u201d she looked at both of them, \u201cIs anybody hunting out here? It might explain the decline and lack of carcasses. Maybe some crazy \u201cenviros\u201d are out there interfering with my research.\u201d\n\u201cNo way,\u201d George replied, \u201cWe keep people off the site day and night. We\u2019d see anyone and run them off or arrest them.\u201d He handed her the activity log. \u201cAny intruders would be noted in here. Take a look.\u201d\nWhile she scanned the pages, Tom had a flash that maybe Jerry was out here somewhere, hiding out and living off the land. And now there were soldiers. Was there any way he could get Jerry to leave? And he\u2019d have to find him first.\nKaren finished with the log book and gave it back to George. \u201cThey told me that tonight is just a recon for a more intense activity to come over the next few nights. One big push is what he said.\u201d\nTom thought for a while as Karen and George chatted. When she got up to leave, Tom followed her out to her truck.\n\u201cI have a proposition for you,\u201d He told her as she got in. \u201cNo, not that,\u201d he hastily continued, \u201cI think I need your help in finding a friend of mine.\u201d He went on, \u201cCan you keep it a secret?\u201d\n\u201cMaybe,\u201d she seemed puzzled, \u201cIs it illegal or immoral or dangerous?\u201d\nHe thought a minute, \u201cProbably yes, no and I don\u2019t think so.\u201d\nShe chuckled, \u201cOkay, go on.\u201d\nTom told her about Jerry and the incident with the jackrabbits, and how he went a little crazy, and about the giant prairie dog and how he got fired. \u201cOh yeah,\u201d she laughed, \u201cI heard all about that, but I thought it was just a rumor. If it\u2019s true, the managers did a really good job of covering it all up.\u201d\n\u201cWell, I can vouch for the jackrabbits. But here\u2019s the deal, I think that Jerry may have gone wild and is secretly living out here somewhere, eating all your critters. His car was parked on the south side road, but was just towed away.\u201d He hesitated, \u201cI\u2019d like to try to find him and get him home.\u201d\nKaren mulled that over. She thought it could beef up her research if they could find Jerry, bring him in, and she could incorporate his impact on the numbers into her work. It would make her studies unique, and would be a killer paper and presentation. She agreed to help. They discussed the need to act quickly, and planned to talk the next day.\nThe next night Tom called in sick and they met as planned near where Jerry\u2019s car had been parked. Karen brought night vision goggles for each of them, courtesy of her research grant. They tried to guess where Jerry would have gone, climbed over the fence and furtively entered the site. Karen was used to the goggles, but it took Tom a while to get comfortable, so they moved pretty slowly.\nBased on her knowledge of the site, Karen suggested that Jerry was probably holed up somewhere near the drainage on the south side of the old restricted area. \u201cI\u2019m not allowed in that area, and it would be relatively easy for him to find a hidey hole somewhere and not be seen.\u201d\n\u201cThe guards don\u2019t really patrol that area either,\u201d Tom informed her, \u201cWe\u2019re mostly concerned with the areas more likely to be accessed.\u201d\nThey followed a faint path in that direction and tried to be inconspicuous. The restricted area fence loomed out of the dark and caught Tom by surprise. They helped each other over the fence and started down into the drainage.\n\u201cShh,\u201d Karen whispered, and pulled Tom down next to her. Across the small valley, Tom saw a light, then another, moving along the edge of the slope. \u201cSoldiers.\u201d They hunkered down into the brush and watched as they lights moved further down the stream. Staying on the other side of the stream, they followed the soldiers at a distance for quite a ways.\nSuddenly, a spotlight appeared and they could see the flash of weapons firing, and heard the soft thud of silenced gunfire. They both flattened on the ground, but the shots weren\u2019t in their direction. There was a bit of loud chatter from the soldiers and the lights all joined together pointing at something on the ground. It seemed to be a large tan lump.\n\u201cMaybe a big cat, or a bear?\u201d Tom whispered.\n\u201cI don\u2019t think so,\u201d Karen replied softly, \u201cLet\u2019s see what they do with it.\u201d\nThey could hear some chatter on a radio, but the words were unclear. After a few minutes, another set of lights approached. A jeep pulled up and the headlights stopped on the dead creature. A camera flashed a couple of times. Someone pulled a stretcher out of the jeep and they rolled whatever it was onto it, and placed it across the back end of the jeep. It drove slowly, flanked by the soldiers, further down the valley and stopped. Two soldiers got on each end of the stretcher and they carried it down the slope, huddled together and disappeared.\nKaren pulled Tom closer to them, staying across the valley. A glow was visible from some kind of hole in the opposite slope where the soldiers had disappeared. \u201cA cave,\u201d Tom murmured, \u201cmaybe that\u2019s where Jerry is hiding.\u201d\nThe lights reappeared and the soldiers returned to the jeep. Two continued downstream on the top of the slope and the jeep drove back in the direction it came from.\nKaren started down the slope. Tom caught up with her, \u201cWhere are you going?\u201d\n\u201cI\u2019ve got to see what they killed,\u201d she hesitated, \u201cand we need to see if Jerry\u2019s in there.\u201d\nReluctantly, Tom followed and they found the mouth of a small hole that appeared to have been widened recently. They could see the marks where the stretcher had been dragged, and followed them in. They half-walked under a tilted concrete slab, then stood up in a hallway maybe a dozen feet wide and eight feet tall. Ahead, they found a cross hallway that seemed to go several hundred feet each way off the central corridor. Ahead and to both sides, there were doorways off the corridor. Scuff marks on the floor indicated a lot of traffic down the main hallway.\nThe traffic seemed to be directed towards a low wide doorway down on the left. The two heavy steel doors were open, and inside there was a chaos of carcasses and a strong smell of decay. Just inside the doorway was a large, blood-spattered furry mass. Karen knelt down and began to examine it.\n\u201cThis is a prairie dog.\u201d she paused, \u201cA giant prairie dog. Jerry wasn\u2019t crazy.\u201d\n\u201cAt least about the prairie dog,\u201d Tom thought.\n\u201cBut it\u2019s weird,\u201d Karen continued, \u201cIt has the teeth of a predator. It has sharp pointy teeth for ripping and tearing. It\u2019s at least an omnivore, if not a carnivore.\u201d\n\u201cMaybe that explains the missing critters.\u201d Tom offered.\nHe walked around the edge of the room, identifying dead rabbits, badgers, foxes, and raccoons, and quite a few bodies that were unidentifiable. He named them to Karen as he found them. Most had been shot, but towards the back of the room he found half-eaten carcasses and various decomposed body parts.\nOn top of a pile of brush in the back, he found six nearly identical bodies the size of dogs, shot through the head. He called to Karen and peered closely at the nearest one, then pushed it back to see the others. Something rolled out from under the dead creature and fell to the floor. Tom jumped and gave an involuntary shout. Karen came over quickly.\n\u201cThese are babies,\u201d she told him, examining the bodies, \u201cBaby giant prairie dogs.\u201d She looked around the room, \u201cThe soldiers have been collecting all the affected animals and bringing them here. That\u2019s why no one has reported seeing them.\u201d\nShe indicated the eaten carcasses and body parts, \u201cAnd this is what they ate.\u201d\nShe bent over something on the floor, and recoiled in shock. \u201cI think I found Jerry.\u201d\nTom recognized the half of Jerry\u2019s face that stared up at him, but the rest was either mauled or completely gone. He backed away, then turned and vomited violently. Karen tried to comfort him, then they heard voices.\nShe ran to the door and saw lights at the opening of the cave. Quickly she looked down the hall, grabbed Tom, and pulled him in the opposite direction, and shut off their lights. The end of the corridor was blocked by double steel doors, and with some effort, they were able to open one and slip inside. The room was empty. Karen kept the door slightly cracked to see what was going on in the hallway.\nFlashlights showed a group of soldiers hauling a stretcher, and they stopped at the door of the room that Karen and Tom had just left. \u201cIt\u2019s another prairie dog,\u201d Karen relayed to Tom, \u201cThey\u2019re dumping it into the same room.\u201d\nThe soldiers retrieved the empty stretcher and moved back to the opening. Two more figures wearing bulky gear entered her view and moved towards them. She saw them approach the room with all the bodies and step in. \u201cLay it down heavily,\u201d one of them said, \u201cWe\u2019ve got to totally destroy everything in here.\u201d\nThere was a roaring sound and bright light from the room. Smoke poured out of the room and Tom peeked around the door with Karen. \u201cFlamethrowers,\u201d he said, \u201cThey\u2019re destroying all the bodies. They\u2019re burning them up. They\u2019re destroying all the evidence.\u201d\nThey watched in silence for the next ten minutes or so as the roaring, bright light and smoke continued. Finally one of the men backed out the door, then the second, both pouring flames back into the room. Tom could tell they were wearing supplied air and face masks, and some kind of protective suits. They turned off the flamethrowers, waited for the smoke to thin a bit and pulled off their masks.\n\u201cIs that enough?\u201d one asked the other.\nHe stepped in and kicked at something on the floor, raising a small cloud of ash. \u201cNothing left, as ordered. Let\u2019s get out of here. Time for the next crew.\u201d They turned and left.\nKaren quickly ran down the hall and looked into the room. \u201cAll gone,\u201d she cried, \u201cIt\u2019s all just ash and rubble. No one will ever believe now.\u201d\nTom came up and put his arm around her. \u201cMaybe we can sift through the ashes and recover some intact bone or DNA.\u201d\nThere was a commotion from the opening, and peeking around the door Tom saw several soldiers digging and drilling holes around the entrance. The soldiers were busy and didn\u2019t seem to be looking their direction. He and Karen decided it was safer to stay put, rather than risk being seen in the hallway. Karen poked around in the still-hot debris, but found little more than crumbled bone and ash. Tom sat by the door and tried to keep an eye out. \u201cPoor Jerry,\u201d he thought, \u201cI guess he met his demons at last.\u201d\nThere was some loud talking from the opening, then quiet. \u201cLet\u2019s give them a few minutes to clear out then we can get out of here.\u201d\nKaren nodded and sat down beside him. She contemplated her research, which was now completely worthless. And, there was no evidence to demonstrate the effects of the chemicals or radiation on the prairie dogs, so she would be unable to even take that new tack. \u201cOh, well,\u201d she thought, \u201cAnother wasted semester.\u201d\nSuddenly, everything shook and pounded the breath out of them. Oppressive silence then a loud blast!\nLuckily they were sitting or they would have been knocked flat. As it was, the blast disturbed the ash and dust and they were nearly choked before it began to settle.\nTom crawled to the door and peered down the hallway, his flashlight barely cutting through the dust. He pulled his handkerchief out to breathe through, and got Karen to do the same with a bandanna she had. They coughed and tried to regain their breath, and wondered what had happened.\nAfter a while, enough dust had settled and they slowly moved down the hall. It was confusing, but the entrance seemed to have changed. In fact, it was gone beneath a wall of dirt, large slabs of broken concrete and rubble.\n\u201cThey dynamited the entrance,\u201d Tom realized, \u201cWe\u2019re sealed in.\u201d\nFrantically, they probed the wall looking for any opening. The army demolition team knew their business, and had effectively closed the opening. Tom and Karen sat against the wall and contemplated their options. Tom turned off his light, then Karen did the same. There didn\u2019t seem much to say.\nTime was unmoving in the darkness, measured only by breath and heartbeat. Finally, Tom broke their silence, \u201cOh hell, if we\u2019re going to be stuck in here, I\u2019m at least going to look around.\u201d He switched on his light and got up. Karen followed and they first explored the hallway to the right. Identical small rooms, empty and still, met their inquiry. They returned to the main hallway and went across to the other corridor. It was identical, but had a strong odor that got stronger as they proceeded. At the end, the floor was slippery and the smell overpowering.\n\u201cBats,\u201d Karen identified the smell, \u201cThere\u2019s a bat colony here.\u201d They peered into the room. The floor was deep in bat guano, but the room was still. \u201cAny still in here probably flew off when things exploded.\u201d\n\u201cBut where did they go?\u201d Tom asked, \u201cWe didn\u2019t see any flying around down here. There must be another way out.\u201d\nKaren led the way back to the main hallway. \u201cWe haven\u2019t seen anything down any of the corridors,\u201d she noted, \u201cSo there must be something else around where the entrance was.\u201d\n\u201cDo you have a lighter?\u201d Karen asked, \u201cIn the movies they always hold up a small flame to find out where the air comes in.\u201d\nTom shook his head, \u201cWell, I know someone with a flamethrower, but he left a while ago.\u201d\nAfter a second or two, Karen began to laugh, then Tom joined in. They sat in the dark, occasionally chuckling to themselves for a long time.\nTom woke to the sound of wings. He found the darkness unfamiliar and confusing; then he remembered where they were. He grabbed his flashlight and turned it on, waking Karen in the process.\n\u201cThe bats,\u201d he told her, \u201cWhere are they flying?\u201d\nShe shook her head and turned on her light. Bats were flying above them in a chaotic spiral; heading into the colony room. They both stood and tried to see where the bats came from, but there were too many crowding the ceiling to tell. As the stream of bats thinned, Tom spotted a gap above one of the broken concrete slabs. \u201cThere,\u201d he pointed and Karen added her light to his, illuminating a spot about eighteen inches round. Karen made him wait until only a couple of bats came through, then none.\nClimbing the rubble proved to be difficult and dangerous; at one point Karen was nearly smashed by a large chunk of concrete that Tom inadvertently knocked loose. Working together they managed to get up on top of the broken slab, and Tom slithered into the small hole, ignoring the brown slime left by the bats.\nKaren helped support his feet as he worked his way upward. Once he got a good hold, she pulled herself along by holding onto his boots. Slowly they edged up the nearly vertical hole formed between two broken slabs. Luckily, it was rough and fractured enough that they could find hand- and foot-holds as they climbed. The concrete gave way to rocky soil, and they were able to pull themselves along with roots (\u201cProbably sagebrush,\u201d Karen muttered.)\nFinally, Tom pulled himself out of the hole onto grass at the top of the slope above the former opening. He pulled Karen out and they both lay in the grass, looking gratefully at the morning sky. Tom shook himself and quickly looked around to see if anyone was watching. The place was deserted as far as he could see.\n\u201cWhat now?\u201d Karen looked wistfully down the hole, \u201cAll the evidence is gone, and I bet you a hundred that all the army guys are reassigned to Alaska or somewhere far away.\u201d\n\u201cWell,\u201d Tom replied, \u201cI could use a shower, some breakfast and maybe a drink.\u201d\n\u201cThat sounds nice. But I think you\u2019ve got the order backwards. How about we go have a drink to your buddy, Jerry.\u201d\nTom nodded, \u201cI guess that\u2019s the least we can do.\u201d He thought a minute, \u201cI wonder if Jerry\u2019s job at the mall is still open?\u201d\nThe sun rose as they made their way back to the cars.",

        "raw_content": "The keywords for this year are:\nDuty, responsibility, love, home and family, justice and peace, emotional influences.\nThe number 6 is associated with wholeness, and during this cycle you may be aware of some aspect of your life that needs attending to so that you can feel complete. For example, you may have unresolved issues with a family member, and by speaking with them, it may help you to release a great deal.\nDuring this 6 cycle it is advisable to be aware of which emotional attachments need healing too, so that you can bring all your energy back into the present. For example, you may not even realise you are still attached to an idyllic, romantic summer holiday you spent with a lover, and part of you may really wish you were still there. You may find that you are particularly sentimental this year, which prevents you from letting go of old love-letters, photographs and memorabilia. This process may mean revisiting painful emotions, but by facing them and realising they\u2019re from the past, you can gently allow them to dissolve.\nIn your Personal Year 6, you may find that you get very deeply involved in a relationship, a work project or with family affairs. You may go over and over situations until you get them right or until they are perfect, and you will not let issues drop. You may open up your heart so deeply that it shifts your perspective on life for the better, so you become more loving towards others. Indeed, this is a great time to reach out to support and nourish those within your community, and to learn to love and nurture yourself too.\nYou may be made very aware of your choices during this cycle, and you will need to choose between helping yourself and serving the greater good. Others may reassure you that you are making the right decisions, but your conscience will tell you the truth. The 6 cycle focuses energy on relationships, on the element of friendship, and on children and family within this framework. There may be issues with commitments or collective responsibilities, which you may work through. These can be made easier if you keep you vision focused firmly on the bigger picture, and by remembering to put yourself in the picture as you may neglect your own needs too. There may be challenges to deal with if you just judge situations by their appearances which, as you know, aren\u2019t always what they seem.\nYou may find this 6 Personal Year cycle a fertile time for your creativity, and search for as many ways as possible to express it. Like buying a new cookery book that changes your relationship with food, making simple changes on how you approach your life can make an enormous impact.",

So we think some of the money we would have received in January was remitted in December of this year,\u201d he said.\nThe IFO expects its overall revenue expectations will even out over time.\nThe new tax law caps all state and local tax deductions at $10,000 starting in 2018.\nAt the local level, some homeowners in the state rushed to prepay 2018\u2019s property taxes before the new year in an attempt to draw a larger 2017 deduction before the cap is put in place. In Pennsylvania, certain counties and municipalities allow those prepayments; others don\u2019t.\nBut even those who successfully made payments, could be in for a reversal. Last week, the Internal Revenue Service released a memo saying that homeowners could only prepay 2018 taxes for properties that were assessed in 2017, opening up the possibility that local governments could need to make refunds.\nThe IFO found that the new tax law also led to anticipated revenue shortfalls. Knittel noted that anticipated revenue from state corporate income taxes took a blow in December, down 3.3 percent.\n\u201cIn the month of December, corporations are scheduled to make a payment, and that payment is considerably weaker than we have thought,\u201d he said.\nHe believes businesses are holding off payments to take full advantage of the new tax law.\n\u201cBecause of federal rate reductions, corporations are shifting income from this year in order to apply it under a lower rate in 2018,\u201d he said.",

        "raw_content": "9/11 remains returned to World Trade Center site\nNEW YORK (CNN) \u2014 The unidentified remains of those killed in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks were returned to New York\u2019s World Trade Center site Saturday in a quiet motorcade through the streets of lower Manhattan.\nUnder an overcast sky, the remains moved slowly from the medical examiner\u2019s office several miles away in a solemn procession that included police and fire department vehicles with lights flashing. A handful of passers-by paused along the way to take notice.\nThere were no dignitaries or speeches as the remains were delivered to their final resting place in an underground repository in the same building as the National September 11 Memorial and Museum.\n\u201cThey are finally home,\u201d said Monica Iken, whose husband, Michael Patrick, perished when the towers collapsed. \u201cWe should be thanking God they are home in the right place. This is where they died. This is where they took their last step, their last breath.\u201d\nAs she spoke, a group of protesters who favor placing the remains in a monument separate from the museum interrupted Iken in a sign of the longstanding dispute over what to do with the unidentified remains of victims of the worst terrorist attack in the nation\u2019s history.\n\u201cHow dare you say that the remains \u2026 belong in a museum?\u201d said one protester. \u201cHow dare you. Shame on you!\u201d\n\u201cYou\u2019re disrespecting the loved ones,\u201d Monica Iken said.\nOpponents of the move have said that a museum vulnerable to flooding and which charges $24 admission is not an adequate resting place for the victims.\n\u201cThe issue here is that the remains we\u2019re talking about \u2014 some 8,500 we believe \u2014 are unidentified,\u201d said Norman Siegel, an attorney representing those opposed to the move. \u201cI hate to be crass. But who owns them? And who has the say in what happens to the unidentified remains?\u201d\nIn 2011, 17 families of 9/11 victims petitioned a court to force the museum to consult with the families before deciding what to do with the remains. They also asked for a congressional hearing. Both efforts were unsuccessful.\nThe remains will be stored behind a museum wall inscribed with a quote from the Roman poet Virgil: \u201cNo day shall erase you from the memory of time.\u201d\nThe medical examiner\u2019s office has custody of 7,930 unidentified remains, which account for 36% of the 21,906 remains recovered, according to the office\u2019s most recent statistics. The medical examiner will continue to work to identify the remains.\nFamilies of the victims will be able to visit the repository\u2019s Reflection Room in the days before the museum\u2019s official opening on May 21. After that, they can schedule appointments to visit the private room.\n\u201cFinally our loved ones are home,\u201d Iken said. \u201cThey are \u2026 in the best place.\u201d\nMartin Luther King Jr\u2019s Atlanta home offers visitors \u2018biggest education\u2019\nThe final days of Felipe Alonzo-Gomez, the 8-year-old migrant who died in US custody\nMexican national arrested in Virginia, returned home to face murder charges\nHelp needed identifying toddler found dead in California duffel bag",

        "raw_content": "Ella Hunt Becomes a New Yorker\nGet to know breakout actress and fashion darling Ella Hunt, who stars in \"Anna and the Apocalypse\" and the upcoming Apple series \"Dickinson.\"\nJenna Greene/WWD\nElla Hunt is a face those who pay attention to the party circuit will know. Like many starlets before her, Hunt emerged onto the New York scene earlier this fall and was quickly scooped up by brands, attending Michael Kors\u2019 fashion week dinner, his God\u2019s Love We Deliver party, Chanel\u2019s Tribeca Film Festival luncheon, Town & Country\u2019s Modern Swans bash and was expected at Chanel\u2019s M\u00e9tiers d\u2019Art show at the Metropolitan Museum on Tuesday night.\nThe Brit arrived Stateside \u2014 Brooklyn Heights, specifically \u2014 to film Apple\u2019s upcoming Emily Dickinson series \u201cDickinson,\u201d in the midst of her breakout fall. She\u2019s the lead of the (perhaps surprisingly) well-reviewed Scottish zombie movie musical \u201cAnna and the Apocalypse,\u201d which opens in wide release in the U.S. on Friday. And though her stint in New York was entered into as a temporary relocation for the Dickinson role, Manhattan seems to be taking to her rather kindly.\n\u201cI had only ever been to New York for one day prior to getting this job,\u201d she says. \u201cAnd then I got this job, I was like, \u2018OK, I guess I\u2019m relocating my life to New York in three weeks.'\u201d\nHunt is one of six siblings and was raised in Devon in England. \u201cWe describe them in litters: so the first litter that is not with my mum, my dad\u2019s first wife, and they\u2019re a bit older. And then there\u2019s me and my two brothers and I\u2019m in the middle. So I have an older brother who\u2019s 25, and a younger brother who\u2019s 17,\u201d she explains of her family.\nElla Hunt Jenna Greene/WWD\nHer family is full of artists \u2014 her older brother is an artist living in Berlin, and her mother was an actor in her youth before becoming a sculptor. Acting, therefore, was never that out of the realm of possibility.\n\u201cPart of being a kid was putting on little productions for my family and friends, and singing around the house,\u201d she says. When she was 11 she was in a school production of Gilbert and Sullivan\u2019s \u201cThe Mikado\u201d \u2014 \u201cthree little maids from school are we!\u201d she sings \u2014 and though she didn\u2019t know it at the time, ended up in her first audition of sorts.\n\u201cI was really hoping I would be cast as one of the three little maids. And I didn\u2019t; I got cast as Katisha, who\u2019s this jilted wife who\u2019s fat and distraught. She\u2019s very funny,\u201d Hunt says. \u201cSo I was wearing this fat suit and Japanese wig, and was full on into the character. And just randomly there was a boy in my year whose dad was an agent \u2014 I didn\u2019t know this \u2014 but he saw me in the play and was like, \u2018Ella should give acting a try.\u2019\u201d\nShe\u2019s spending the fall in New York shooting \u201cDickinson,\u201d in which she stars as the poet\u2019s close friend Sue Gilbert alongside Hailee Steinfeld and Jane Krakowski. \u201cI\u2019m excited by the way that we\u2019re looking at Emily Dickinson,\u201d she says. \u201cI think young people are going to be really captivated by her, because of the way she lived her life. She never got married, her sexuality is kind of undefined as well, she was fluid and I think that\u2019s such a big topic of discussion in today\u2019s world.\u201d\nThe role is her big foray into American audiences, and it might just make a New Yorker out of her yet.\n\u201cIt\u2019s terrifying going, \u2018OK, I\u2019m moving to New York,\u2019\u201d she says. \u201cBut I just had this kind of feeling of \u2018I\u2019m 20, I\u2019ve got this job, and let\u2019s just make home there, build a life there.\u2019 So I guess I feel like I\u2019m at the beginning of my life, basically.\u201d\nJeremy Kost Discusses Book of Male Nudity, \u2018Isolated but Not Alone\u2019",

The government over the years had tried different ways to take positive steps towards the implementation of the responsibility to support domestic and foreign private enterprises and investments in the best possible way.\nAmendment of private investment law to provide facilities and advantages for investors, development of policies to encourage private investment, provision of encouraging privileges for investors such as cheap electricity, loans for business development, provision of privileges for import raw materials, machinery manufacturing and reduction in income tax, are some steps that have taken to support more domestic and foreign private investments in the country.\nRecently, these efforts caused the investment program of Afghanistan (Investment in Afghanistan) to be ranked first among the countries of central Asia, Russia and the Caucasus and recognized as the best program in support of domestic and foreign private investments in the annual meeting of investments that was held in UAE with attendance of 120 countries representatives of seven regions.\nIn the last year, Afghanistan made great achievements by attracting 1.7 billion dollars in domestic and foreign private investment derived mostly from energy generation and manufacturing plants.\nAfghanistan\u2019s Ministry of Commerce, while emphasizing the focus on further development of economic infrastructure in this country, has said that the recent economic achievements and investment opportunities in Afghanistan demonstrate the existence of more opportunities for domestic and foreign private investments in this country and have changed the economic system of Afghanistan into an open and modern system.\nAlso, Afghanistan\u2019s Minister of Commerce and Industry cited that during this year the government will take more actions for the purpose of providing facilities for investment and trade, such as bringing new amendments to investment law and Income Tax law to support and encourage enterprises and investments.\nAfghanistan, being ranked first as a provider of the best program in support of domestic and international investors, has the continuous collaboration of the government indicating the presence of abundant business opportunities in the country.\nThe unique geographical location of Afghanistan which connects South Asia with Central Asia and Europe; economy based on the market economy under the leadership of the private sector; flexible tax regime and customs tariffs; Legality of a hundred percent private ownership and no restrictions on the transfer of profits out of Afghanistan; Afghanistan\u2019s membership in international organizations and bilateral and multilateral commercial treaties, including membership in the World Trade Organization; and the Afghan government\u2019s commitment for full and decisive support of businesses and private domestic and foreign investments are among unmatched advantages which makes the business opportunities in Afghanistan more profitable than the majority of the world countries.\nPrevious Previous post: Grenada CITIZENSHIP by investment **Best offer for Family **\nNext Next post: International Business Companies can now easily \u201cTransfer Domicile\u201d to UAE",

        "raw_content": "Drug Rehab and Treatment Centers Information Ocean Bluff, Massachusetts\nLooking for Drug Rehab and treatment centers in Ocean Bluff, Massachusetts?\nThere are several drug rehab centers options available to people residing in the Ocean Bluff region. You should understand each one of the varieties of rehabilitation options that exist in Ocean Bluff, AB., to be able to find the ideal rehabilitation approach for yourself or a loved one. Selecting the most appropriate drug and alcohol treatment center in Ocean Bluff is a vital element in the process of treating of substance abuse, addiction and alcoholism. The following info will help you to understand your various treatment options allowing an individual to have the best possibility of an ideal final result.\nLet's examine the many alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs in Ocean Bluff, Massachusetts options that correlate with the condition of the individual looking for treatment.\nInpatient alcohol and drug treatment in Ocean Bluff, AB. is a treatment possibility ideal for many who need health-related intervention in the course of treatment or individuals with substantial drug abuse histories. People will experience both mental and physical dependence to drugs and alcohol even after a short period of time, so inpatient drug and alcohol treatment in Ocean Bluff is considered the most reliable rehab possibility in nearly all instances. On account of dependence and addiction, women and men will most likely be unable to recover with the limited services provided by outpatient rehab centers in Ocean Bluff, Massachusetts where drugs and alcohol continue to be easily available when they leave the outpatient facility. Likewise, men and women in treatment who receive outpatient rehabilitation as an alternative to inpatient drug and alcohol rehab in Ocean Bluff remain prone to damaging influences and circumstances which may get in the way of their recovery process. When someone resides with an abusive companion or continues to maintain associations that entail substance abuse, any rehabilitation endeavours in outpatient rehabilitation will be in vain. That is why in-patient drug rehabilitation in Ocean Bluff, AB. is going to generate more tangible results that may prove long lasting unlike an outpatient drug rehab center where advantages are often very minimal and acute.\nIn Ocean Bluff there is both short-term and long-term inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation. Short-term is often a 30-day facility, while long-term inpatient drug treatment in Ocean Bluff, Massachusetts is a lot more in depth and rehab lasts 3 to 6 months generally speaking. It becomes an ideal environment for clients since it is a completely drug-free setting where they're able to recover both physically and mentally without distraction. Preferably, people will continue inside a long-term in-patient drug and alcohol treatment center in Ocean Bluff for the optimum period of time permitted, to enable them to deal with anything that might jeopardize their abstinence when they leave rehab. Because of the fact that detoxing and becoming physically stable can require a couple weeks alone, the 3 to 6 months in long-term in-patient drug treatment in Ocean Bluff will be time well spent and much more efficient than short-term centers.\nThe key factor of all if you or someone you love is struggling with a substance abuse or addiction issue is to get it resolved right away, call someone and seek advice from skilled addiction specialists and get an assessment and rehabilitation possibilities to ensure the biggest opportunity for a full recovery.\nThere are no local drug rehab listings for Ocean Bluff, Massachusetts so we have provided the 6 closest treatment facilities arranged by distance from Ocean Bluff:\n(Plymouth is 7.8 from Ocean Bluff)\n(Norwell is 9.2 from Ocean Bluff)\n(Plymouth is 10.6 from Ocean Bluff)\n(Whitman is 12.5 from Ocean Bluff)\nRates of past month illicit drug use varied with age. Through the adolescent years from 12 to 17, the rates of current illicit drug use in 2008 increased from 3.3 percent at ages 12 or 13 to 8.6 percent at ages 14 or 15 to 15.2 percent at ages 16 or 17.

For instance, if you own a company that does commercial cargo, but also has departments for international removals and perishables, then do you have to join three networks and attend three network annual general meetings per year? (Expensive!).\nOr, do you decide not to join a business-to-business network for just one of your specialties, which leaves you without the many advantages?\nAiO IS THE ANSWER!\nWe have created a network that is unique in its approach in that it lets companies join as Member Partners but has different sub-groupings for specializations: commercial cargo, project cargo, perishable cargo, international removals cargo, and exhibition / show cargo.\nThis allows independent logistics companies to enlist in one group and attend one meeting but get the full benefit for all of their specializations.\nAs a result, AiO has become one of the most dynamic freight forwarding groups in the industry attracting many leading independent international logistics companies as Member Partners.\nTo read more about the benefits of joining the All-in-One (AiO) Logistics Network, please go to the AiO website.\nIf you feel your company is qualified for AiO membership and would like to have more information, please contact us.

        "title": "Letter from Richard About Christian Compassion - 23 Sep 2009 - All Creatures and Foundation Letters and Responses",
        "raw_content": "Letter from Richard About Christian Compassion - 23 Sep 2009\nMr. Eric Pratt\nDear Mr. Pratt:\nI have just read your article, \"Another AntiGun Kook Joins The Obama Team\" posted on NewsWithViews.com. I am saddened and angered that you call those of us who are far more pro-life than people like you could ever be, \"kooks\".\nWhen I became a Christian, I had always had a love and concern for animals and it worried me immensely that they might not have souls and not go to heaven. I always admired St. Francis of Assisi and wanted that special relationship with animals he had. He also called the earth \"mother\" and the creatures, \"brother.\" In the Christian sense this is not irreverent when we have as our Father, God. So as Christians we know that a Father is over a Mother or Brother or Sister and that is the way Francis looked at things and so should we. In that context Father God is over Mother Earth and Brother or Sister Fox, Moon, or whatever creature reference is made.\nFrancis, along with John Muir and Albert Schweitzer, had a special and unique relationship with nature and its God that very few of us Christians have today. In that relationship we are one with the earth, its creatures and the Creator of them all. The deeper that relationship becomes the desire to kill or harm creation becomes less and less.\nThe Lord knew of this concern I had and revealed to me that He is the Prince of Life (Acts 3:15) and as such He highly cares for His creation, even to the point when He died on the cross His blood was shed not only to save sinful mankind but that all things both in Heaven and Earth shall be reconciled to Him in peace through the shedding of His blood (Colossians 1:20)..\nSuch a revelation to me indicates He deeply cares about His creation far more than we do. I firmly believe that \"Thou Shalt Not Kill\" was written in that context to show God never wanted killing to take place and in the end all killing will end for that is His perfect will that will once again be established when Jesus returns to rule on earth.\nAs I grew in my faith Jesus revealed to me the depth of what it means for Him to be Prince of Life. He opened the Scriptures to show how much He cares about the creation. I have grown to the point I don't want to kill any sentient being, turned against the death penalty and all instruments of death. I used to shoot a rifle but now I can't stand a gun, or even the feel of one, which makes me feel as if it is a cold steely object.\nTherefore, I detest guns or any other weapon that kills or injures. Yes, I would like to see all guns outlawed. They are designed to kill and when you say cars kill, which they do; they were not designed to do so. I also realize that it is impossible to outlaw every gun in existence and to make any such law totally effective every single gun would have to be confiscated and that is an absolute impossibility because if just one person has a gun, he can terrorize the rest who do not have a gun.\nTherefore, I am for all sensible gun control regulation. I would like to see guns designed where they do not kill but render the individual shot in a temporary state of paralysis until he or she can be restrained and taken into custody. I would also like to see all wars fought with non-lethal weapons and I believe with the technology we available will in time accomplish this noble and humane objective.\nBy the way the Second Amendment only allows those belonging to a militia the right to bear arms. The militia to which the framers of the Constitution is no longer in existence so there is really no guarantee to that right, but there is nothing in that amendment that denies people to have guns; however not the right. The Amendment needs revision to clearly state the citizens, not a militia, have that right.\nPeople like you would never be happy in heaven or when Jesus returns to earth for He will end all killing once and for all, \"for there shall be no more harm on all my Holy Mountain (Isaiah 11:9, but read 6-8 as well). All instruments of death will finally be destroyed forever and ever. You had better get rid of that killing attitude for that attitude is not that of our God. Those who desire to kill or destroy any form of animal or human life are of the Prince of Death, Satan, himself.\nOne day man will pay dearly for his abuse of creation when God will make him a sacrifice for the animals during the great battle (Ezekiel 39:17-20)when He calls the birds of the air and the beasts of the field to feast of the blood of valiant warriors, and their horses, saying eat this flesh and drink this blood which I have prepared for you. This becomes the ultimate act of love and restitution God makes toward the obedient creation, which through no fault of its own, was forced into bondage and decay.\nTo treat creation as we now treat it is not only arrogant but contemptible before God, the great Creator of it.\nIn fact St Paul alludes to the fact animals could be in heaven (Romans 8:18-23).\nIt is time we started seeking the perfect will of God who never allowed killing in the first place but because of sin allowed it (His permissive will) and in the end will banish it forever.\nWe who have seen the Perfect Will of God and the full revelation of Jesus as Prince of Life will never support deliberate killing for any reason of any sentient being. We will extend the Sanctity of Life to all sentient life from unborn human babies to all the wildlife amongst us. We will raise the level of thou shalt not kill to its highest and most noble purpose, higher than that of the Roman Catholic Church.\nRemember that the love or lust to kill our fellow creatures (even wanton abuse of them) will lead to abuse of human life, even resulting in acts of wanton murder. This has been proven over and over again in many psychological and FBI studies. Remember Jesus' words, \"Those that live by the sword will perish by it\". People such as you are nothing but killers and love doing it. You love destroying what Jesus died to redeem and paid with His blood doing it.\nGod created creation primarily for His pleasure, not ours (Revelation 4:11). That pleasure was to receive their praise and adoration as commanded in the very Psalms themselves. \"Let all things that have breath praise the Lord\" They are more faithful in giving Him praise than we are.\nCalling those who have this deep reverence for the lives of all sentient beings because their research of the Scriptures has led them to believe that all killing is wrong kooks borders on blasphemy on Jesus' redemptive work on the cross for all creation. You are too much of this world to understand and because of you choose the wisdom of this world rather than seeking the full knowledge of Jesus as Prince of Life, this will eventually be your downfall.",

        "raw_content": "VIDEO: Jacob Aue Sobol on the \u2018Road of Bones\u2019\nMagnum photographer, Jacob Aue Sobol, speaks to AP at Photo London about his latest project, Road of Bones\nMagnum\u2019s Jacob Aue Sobol worked in collaboration with Leica to exhibit 28 of his images at Photo London 2017. The images are part of his latest project, Road of Bones, centred around the isolated communities that exist along the Kolyma Highway, a road that has a harrowing history.\nThe Kolyma Highway can be found in the far east of Russia. It cuts through the desolate Siberian landscape, where severe temperatures can plummet to as low as -60 degrees and where, despite the seemingly inhospitable conditions, isolated communities living in towns and villages line the route and carve out an existence for themselves. It\u2019s a landscape with a dark aura and one that is haunted by the ghosts of a gruesome past, for the Kolyma Highway is popularly known by another name \u2013 the Road of Bones.\nBetween 1932 and 1953, Stalin\u2019s regime sent millions of prisoners to forced labour camps, or Gulags, in Siberia, where they would be literally worked to death. One of the largest tasks undertaken was the construction of the 2,031km Kolyma Highway. It was a painful and fatal labour that saw the deaths of countless prisoners. Their bodies, rather than being buried in newly dug holes, were laid beneath or around the road. Today, the road is a grim memorial to the fallen.\nJacob\u2019s work is famous for its stark black and white tonal range, its strangeness and its haunting intimacy. Despite the harrowing history captured in the Road of Bones, Jacob\u2019s distinct aesthetic, shot using Leica M cameras, is able to draw out the beauty of the area and reveal the strength of the people who live there to this day.\nTo read the full interview with Jacob Aue Sobol, buy the latest issue (June 24) on sale now.

Heavily involved in all the Leica exhibitions that take place around the world, she talks about why Jacob was represented by Leica at Photo London this year and what\u2019s involved in putting together an exhibition.",

        "raw_content": "Important Conversations: Talking to Kids About Money\nAnchin Private Client CenterMay 31, 2018Oxana Olach, Member of Anchin Private Client\nInitiating conversations about money is not typically easy, and many high-net worth families struggle with determining when to broach this topic with their children.\nSome parents may fear that by discussing their wealth with children, the younger generation may lack the drive to be independently successful, assuming that they are sure to get a windfall at a certain age. Although the data in this area is new, there is some evidence suggesting that children who grow up learning about how money is earned may be more empowered to make smart decisions than those who unexpectedly have their family\u2019s wealth thrust upon them later in life.\nOf course, not all conversations about money are the same.\nThere are ways of engaging that may be more appropriate or effective at certain age levels. For example, many conversations that seem to have a financial aspect to them are really less about dollars and cents and more about values, decision-making and becoming a contributing member to society.\nWhen discussing money with especially young children, most choose not to get into the specifics about the family\u2019s wealth. These early conversations can be geared toward building a value set around topics such as money or philanthropy. As children mature, a family may feel more comfortable offering more specifics about the family\u2019s situation.\nConversations with children: Financial lessons can actually start as early as three years old by slowly introducing the concept of needs versus wants in daily conversations. This little distinction can plant the seeds that may inform children\u2019s later financial decision making.\nTeaching kids about the family history is another way to help them understand the family\u2019s wealth. For example, explaining that previous generations had very little and each generation improved on the one before could be one way to initiate the conversation. Parents may also want to introduce the concept of philanthropy by allowing children to select a cause to donate to each year based on their research or passions.\nConversations with young adults: Often by the time children have finished college, money conversations have been going on for some time. Before a child graduates, or otherwise goes off on their own, parents may want to set clear guidelines for how the family wealth will be used. Parents may decide to help with bills or fund the occasional flight home, but paying for lavish expenses, such as vacations and dinners, may be out of the question. These decisions, as well as the reasoning behind them, could be a valuable learning opportunity.\nAs children progress through their twenties, parents may opt to discuss more specifics of their financial situation with them. Under some circumstances, it may even be appropriate to introduce the child to the family\u2019s advisors to help provide a greater understanding about the family\u2019s goals and strategies, even if specific numbers are not discussed.\nConversations with adult children: By the time children are in their thirties -- and possibly parents of their own -- money conversations may be more specific. At this stage, families are likely thinking about the eventual wealth transfer, even if it is more than twenty plus years away. Adult children can participate in certain financial planning meetings so that they are fully apprised of the family\u2019s situation and if necessary, are prepared to participate in decision-making.\nBy setting a foundation early, parents may find that these conversations become easier and more natural as the child grows. Relying on the family\u2019s trusted advisors to help facilitate difficult conversations and discuss wealth transfer strategies can help make the situation less daunting.\nFor more information, contact your Anchin Relationship Partner or Oxana Olach, a member of Anchin Private Client, at 212.840.3456 or info@anchin.com .",

        "raw_content": "As someone who travels frequently and spends a lot of time on airplanes, there\u2019s always a concern of exposure in confined spaces... and exposing it to others. The CDC does not recommend that people on the same commercial airline flights undergo monitoring. Ebola is contagious only if the person is experiencing active symptoms. But anyone concerned may call 800-CDC-INFO.\nThe fear with Ebola is elevated because there is currently no vaccine, and more than 3,000 people have died because of the disease. Several experimental vaccines are being developed. A few Ebola patients have received these experimental drugs, although supplies of one have been exhausted and supplies of another are very low.\nThe virus is transmitted from wild animals to humans. Humans spread the virus through contact with blood or other body fluids of an infected person, as well as exposure to objects like contaminated needles, according to the CDC. Though the threat is minimal, it is important to have awarenes and to know the symptoms.\nThe U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provides informative literature on the transmission, signs, treatment and prevention of Ebola. Use the following link to learn more form the CDC: http://www.safetybanners.org/FREE_EBOLA_Fact%20Sheets_Download.phps and to know the symptoms.\nFor those organizations in need of general guidance of Protective Apparel based on recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Medicins Sans Frontieres (MSF), DuPont has released a Technical Bulletin with very good information. You can read more here: http://www.dupont.com/content/dam/assets/products-and-services/personal-protective-equipment/assets/DPP14_20240_Ebola_Tech_Bulletin_%2091114b.pdf\nOfficials have been increasing surveillance and lab testing capacity in the United States. Additionally, tools are being developed for health departments to hold public health investigations and giving recommendations for infection control.\nIt has been reported that the CDC has also been giving guidance to flight crews, Emergency Medical Service units at airports and Customs and Border Protection officers about how to report sick travelers to the agency.\nThe belief is that the CDC can stem any potential spread thorough isolation of ill people, contacting people exposed to the ill person and further isolation of contacts if they develop symptoms.\nRoutine care provided in American hospitals and intensive care units can save lives. This includes monitoring patient's blood pressure, keeping them hydrated or helping them breathe \u2013 with machines, if necessary. This level of medical care can keep patients alive until their immune system fights off the virus.\nAt Arbill your employee health and safety is important to us.

        "raw_content": "The 8 Most Powerful Works of Public Art in the World\nPolitically charged masterpieces by Banksy, Ai Weiwei, and others round out this definitive list\nPhoto: Mehmet Kaman/Anadolu Agency/Getty Images\nSometimes a simple gesture sparks a massive conversation. Look no further than the small bronze statue of a little girl gazing at the iconic Wall Street bull installed for International Women\u2019s Day in New York\u2019s financial district this March. We now know the story behind it\u2014investment manager State Street Global Advisors was pushing for the companies in which it invests to make sure they have gender diversity on their boards\u2014but everywhere from Facebook to the middle of Manhattan, she\u2019s ignited a debate about pay equity, feminism, and the state of women\u2019s rights in the U.S. Even if your politics aren\u2019t in line with the work\u2019s message, it would be hard to deny its effectiveness at bringing the conversation to the forefront.\nThe history of powerful public iconography is long\u2014and fraught. Here are eight works across the world that startled audiences and began other important political discussions.\nBanksy\u2019s Flying Balloons Girl\nPhoto: via Flickr, licensed with Creative Commons\nRoll your eyes if you will at the still-anonymous artist\u2019s provocations\u2014they do grab attention. An early, powerful work of Banksy\u2019s, Flying Balloons Girl, uses the trope of the innocuous young girl, much as the bronze Wall Street sculpture does. The stenciled work of a young girl such as you might see in an old time-y children\u2019s book appeared in 2005. She\u2019s holding tight to a bunch of balloons as they begin to carry her afloat. But in Flying Balloons she\u2019s spray-painted onto the wall in the West Bank that separates the Palestinian Territories and Israel. The message of the work is pretty straightforward: What if she could just float between the two? Britain-based Banksy made nine other public works in the Middle East around this time, including a small boy kneeling in front of a rope ladder leading up the same fence.\nPussy Riot\u2019s Punk Prayer\nPhoto: via Creative Commons\nNadezhda Tolokonnikova, Maria Alyokhina, and Yekaterina Samutsevich\u2014better known as Pussy Riot\u2014were arrested in 2012 after disrupting a church service in Moscow. The impromptu performance of the band\u2019s song \"Punk Prayer,\" in which they shout \u201cMother Mary, please drive Putin away,\u201d protests the Russian Orthodox Church\u2019s support for Russia\u2019s president, whom the trio see as an imperialist autocrat. The feminist band was sentenced to two years in prison on the charge of \u201chooliganism\u201d because they offended churchgoers and \u201chad intended to insult the Russian Orthodox Church and undermine public order.\u201d The trial attracted broad attention to the state of freedom of speech in Russia and Amnesty International protested the court\u2019s decision. Sting, Madonna, and Yoko Ono all spoke out against the trio\u2019s treatment (Samutsevich was freed after five months of detention while the other two members remained imprisoned, although they were eventually released early due to a newly enacted Russian law).\nOlafur Eliasson's Ice Watch\nPhoto: Martin Argyroglo / Courtesy of the artist\nSometimes a simple demonstration works best. Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson teamed up with a geologist named Minick Rosing in 2015 to import from southern Greenland 12 icebergs, which he arranged like the 12 digits on a clock. During the Paris Climate Conference he installed them in Paris\u2019s Place du Pantheon, so onlookers could watch them melt, in his site-specific work Ice Watch. The 12 blocks took 12 days to disintegrate\u2014the length of the conference. The ten-ton pieces of ice traveled via shipping container to Denmark and then ten hours by truck to reach the City of Light, according to a report in The New Yorker at the time.\nSteve Lambert's Capitalism Works for Me! (True/False)\nPhoto: via SPACES Gallery via Flickr\nIn 2013, artist-activist Steve Lambert erected a billboard-cum-quiz about capitalism in what arguably symbolizes the epitome of American capitalism: Times Square. The interactive billboard, in the style of those ubiquitous in that glitzy sector of Manhattan, read \u201cCapitalism works for me!\u201d and had two large buttons labeled \u201ctrue\u201d and \u201cfalse\u201d placed in front of it. Viewers were invited to choose, and Lambert reportedly hung out and chatted with people about their choices.\nGuerrilla Girls\u2019 I\u2019m not a feminist, but if I were, this is what I\u2019d complain about\u2026\nPhoto: via Eric Huybrechts via Flickr\nThe Guerrilla Girls, an anonymous art collective that began appearing at art-world events in 1985 donning gorilla suits, has long skewered the underrepresentation of women in the art world, among other issues relevant to the feminist artists, through their appearances, performances, posters, and writing. They\u2019ve organized protests at major art institutions that have excluded women or engaged in tokenism, with some of those eventually commissioning art from the collective. The group is reported to consist of seven women who are presumably working artists, though no one knows for sure. The collective\u2019s wheat-paste posters\u2014with slogans such as \u201cDo women have to be naked to get into the Met Museum?\u201d\u2014have attracted attention over the years, and they appear in the 2010 documentary Women Art Revolution. In a recent interactive work, they created an erasable graffiti wall and welcomed women to complete the following sentence: \u201cI\u2019m not a feminist, but if I were, this is what I\u2019d complain about\u2026\u201d Submissions reportedly included \u201cBeing told it was my fault I was raped\u201d and \u201cWhy do I earn 79 cents for every dollar a man earns for the SAME work!\"\nAi Weiwei\u2019s Berlin project\nEarly last year dissident artist Ai Weiwei made waves in an unnamed follow-up installation drawing attention to the refugee crisis in Europe. (It may have been damage control after his previous work on the subject, a photograph where he substituted himself for the image of the drowned Syrian three-year-old without much embellishment, fell very flat.) Last month, Wei, whose family was taken to a Chinese labor camp when he was only a year old, strung up about 14,000 bright orange life jackets used by refugees fleeing violence in the Middle East and seeking refuge in Europe along the columns of a well-trafficked Berlin concert hall. While it might seem like a misplaced effort\u2014Germany takes in more refugees than any other country in Europe\u2014the piece was mounted to coincide with the Berlinale, a massive film festival that attracts Hollywood power brokers, celebrities, and the press.\nThe Roof Garden Commission: Imran Qureshi\nPhoto: Emmanuel Dunand/AFP/Getty Images\nThe rooftop of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York is generally a place of respite, where simple sculptures are installed in the summer and visitors can gaze out at the city after a long day wandering through the institution\u2019s massive collections. But in the summer of 2013, artist Imran Qureshi, who hails from Lahore, Pakistan, transformed that space into an explicit war zone in his installation work And How Many Rains Must Fall Before the Stains Are Washed Clean. Painted all in blood red, flowers and intricate patterns emerge from what looks on its face like the scene after a bombing. Qureshi explained that the grand metaphor in the piece is that violence can obscure but not extinguish life.\nAaron Bell\u2019s Stand Tall, Stand Loud\nIn the U.S. we may not imprison artists whose work has overt political themes, but issues of censorship do regularly come up. For instance Aaron Bell, an African American artist who had been selected to make a site-specific piece for Riverside Park in Manhattan, last year delivered a work called Stand Tall, Stand Loud. The sculpture featured a noose above a human figure with geometric blade-like pieces in its center over a quote from Martin Luther King Jr. But the New York City Parks Department was apparently not pleased at the inclusion of the noose\u2014a symbol of African American oppression in the U.S.\u2014and told Bell to change it. \u201cThe proposed site for this work is adjacent to an area regularly programmed with passive recreational activities such as yoga, Pilates, and senior movement programming,\u201d a spokesperson for the Parks department said in a statement. Bell changed the sculpture because he felt it was worth it to have such a prestigious commission, but in the end the city backed down and let the original design be re-installed later in the month. The artist said he hoped the work would remind people to be tolerant every day.\nExploreArt",

        "title": "Jean-Pierre Fauvet - Virtual gallery of the artist",
        "raw_content": "Jean-Pierre Fauvet\nJean Pierre FAUVET is a French artist born in Bobigny on April 26, 1970.\nHe began painting at a very young age and painted his first paintings at the age of twelve, guided by his grandfather who taught him the basic rudiments of painting. Although initially applying himself to abstract work, no examples remain as the artist destroyed them. He then leant towards more figurative, contemporary work.\nIn 1992, he held his first joint exhibition, AREXPO, in NARBONNE. His canvas \u201cLES FLEURS DU MAL\u201d appeared on the back cover of the exhibition catalogue.\nIn 1994, he moved and set up his studio in the Paris region in Drancy and until 2004 organised his personal exhibitions there. The themes he tackled are still significant and dominated by emotions; there are frequent references to the world of photography, religion and all aspects of human relationships.\nIt was in the same year that he met the Colombian painter Carlos E.VELEZ who followed him in his work and realised a figurative series, mainly in black and white, notably including portraits and nudes on the themes of religion and fashion.\nBetween 1995 to 2000 colour appeared in his work, at first tentatively and then more meaningfully, offering him a new palette of emotions with still wrenching but more intimate body shapes. It was also during this period that he created his first canvasses on the controversial theme of \u201cLES REGLES\u201d and another series on \u201cLES ARBRES\u201d.\nIn fact the themes in his work took on a dual quality. Death plays with love: the joys of beach games alongside tortured children and with a UFO \u201cURBAN VEGETAL CITY\u201d, the only abstract influence canvas by the painter in existence.\nThrough colour Jean-Pierre FAUVET particularly favours line and texture.\nBetween 2000 and 2005 his work has turned more towards drawing and in 2005 for the first time he was drawn to sculpture with a piece of work entitled \u201cTENSION INTIME\u201d. The same year he launched his web site jp-fauvet.com which brings together all the work that he would like to show the general public.\nThe beginning of 2006 will see several joint exhibitions in Paris with his presence for the first time at the SALON DES PEINTRES INDEPENDANTS at ESPACE CHAMPERRET. He has also been selected for the heritage weekends at Espace du MARCHE DES BLANCS MANTEAUX, organised by the Ministry of Culture and the 4th arrondissement municipality.\n\u00a9 All of the images on this website are copyrighted original artworks by their author and are protected by international copyright law.

        "raw_content": "It takes a special kind of genius for the Australian arm of Huawei to appoint Sophie Monk ambassador for their business. Confronted in the United States with charges of industrial espionage and sanctions busting on Iran; with its CFO on bail in Canada pending extradition to America and with a flood of countries banning the company\u2019s products, Huawei is facing an existential moment in its global operations from which it may not recover.\nExplaining her credentials for the ambassadorial role Sophie Monk told the Daily Telegraph last week \u201cI\u2019m lucky to know who the prime minister is, so the politics behind it I don\u2019t really understand.\u201d\nPerfect! Hopefully Monk will be able to share with her fans the \u2018independent legal advice\u2019 obtained by her Australian boss, John Lord, which apparently finds that Beijing\u2019s national security law requiring Chinese companies to support their intelligence agencies doesn\u2019t apply to Huawei either in Australia or according to Lord \u2018even in China.\u2019\nMonk will find that Huawei is a generous employer. The US Justice Department revealed last week that the FBI had \u2018obtained emails revealing that in July 2013, Huawei offered bonuses to employees based on the value of information they stole from other companies around the world, and provided to Huawei via an encrypted email address.\u2019\n2019 is shaping to be a major turning point in the way many developed democratic countries deal with China. What was once seen to be largely positive trade and investment relationships with China are becoming much more difficult to manage.\nA driving factor here has been the emergence of a more assertive Chinese Communist Party leadership under President Xi Jinping who has done away with the \u2018peaceful rise\u2019 rhetoric of his predecessors in favour of a more assertive military, a diplomacy that often slips into outright bullying of smaller countries and highly aggressive espionage and cyber spying.\nAwkwardly for Huawei and other Chinese high-technology companies these factors are bumping into major decision points that many countries imminently face about the design of their 5G mobile telecommunications networks.\nThe future 5G networks will rapidly become the most vital part of many nations\u2019 critical infrastructure because of 5G\u2019s potential to rapidly process vast amounts of data. 5G will enable the core control systems of driverless vehicles, remote medicine, smart grids, so-called smart cities and indeed any of the billions of devices linked to the internet of things.\nThe technology that enables 5G networks will be a vital strategic asset controlling the economic and social functions of modern life. Given the Chinese Communist Party\u2019s obsession for controlling their own population it shouldn\u2019t come as a surprise that the Party championed Huawei\u2019s turbo-charged assault on global telecommunications infrastructure in every possible location from Australia right through to Zimbabwe.\nNo country is too small to escape Huawei\u2019s interests. The company\u2019s website proudly describes how it has transformed the small island state of Mauritius \u2018into a safer country\u2019, with saturation coverage of \u2018intelligent video surveillance\u2019 cameras: \u2018Huawei\u2019s Safe City solution can prevent crimes targeted towards the normal citizen, tourists, students, elderly persons etc before they occur.\u2019\nThe synergy between the company\u2019s technology and the Communist Party\u2019s drive towards an all-encompassing state surveillance system \u2013 one that monitors and measures \u2018the Social Credit\u2019 score of citizens to decide if they are politically reliable \u2013 is not coincidental.\nHuawei\u2019s global success has been to position itself as the supplier of telecommunications infrastructure at prices that competitors could not match. Unfortunately with the gear comes the non-monetary cost of predatory industrial espionage now detailed by the US Justice Department in its indictment last week of Huawei\u2019s alleged theft of trade secrets, wire fraud and obstruction of justice involving the telecommunications company T-Mobile.\nA second indictment details how Huawei is alleged to have engaged in money laundering, conspiracy to defraud the United States, obstruction of justice and sanctions violations involving trading with Iran. The Justice Department claims that Huawei\u2019s chief financial officer, Meng Wanzhou, the daughter of the company\u2019s founder, lied to American banks about Huawei\u2019s relationship with Skycom, a wholly-owned subsidiary that was selling material to Iran in violation of American sanctions.\nThese are not trivial charges. They will play out in America\u2019s transparent legal system in ways that will profoundly shape Washington\u2019s bilateral relations with Beijing, and they will expose a range of Chinese vulturine business practices that will likely be damaging to the operations of Chinese companies in many other countries.\nBeyond Huawei\u2019s own industrial interests a broader western concern has been the extent to which the company may be a vehicle for Chinese state espionage.\nIn August last year the Turnbull government took a decision that effectively excluded Huawei and other Chinese telecommunication companies from the future Australian 5G network. Characteristically neither China nor Huawei were identified in the Government\u2019s explanation of the decision.\nThis was the key paragraph in Scott Morrison\u2019s press release: \u2018The Government considers that the involvement of vendors who are likely to be subject to extrajudicial directions from a foreign government that conflict with Australian law, may risk failure by the carrier to adequately protect a 5G network from unauthorised access or interference.\u2019\nAn important part in the government\u2019s decision-making was that China\u2019s 2017 National Intelligence Law says \u2018all organisations and citizens shall, in accordance with the law, support, cooperate with and collaborate in national intelligence work.\u2019 Of course Huawei vigorously denies that this law applies to their operations, but the denial needs to be offset against the reality that China is engaged in massive industrial-strength cyber spying in Australia and many other countries.\nIn Australia it became publicly known in 2018 that Chinese intelligence operatives had established domain control over the Australian National University\u2019s information technology network. Years earlier a similar hack of the Federal Parliament\u2019s computer system led unsuspecting MP\u2019s to think they were dealing with the building\u2019s IT help-desk when they were in fact engaging with the ever-helpful IT gurus of China\u2019s Ministry of State Security.\nWhile the systematic, relentless and massive scale of Chinese cyber and human-enabled espionage has been known for years, what has become clear in the last few months is that the US intelligence community has come to the shared view that China rather than Russia represents the greatest threat to the interests of the advanced democracies.\nThe US Justice Department\u2019s release of detailed indictments against Huawei revealed the massive effort across many American police and intelligence agencies to gather a publically actionable case against Chinese intelligence gathering. Readers would be right to assume that what has been detailed thus far is only a tiny fraction of the bigger intelligence picture on Chinese state-run espionage activities.\nIn the same week of the Huawei indictments, America\u2019s senior intelligence leaders appeared before Congress to release their annual \u2018Worldwide Threat Assessment.\u2019 The language on China is astonishingly blunt. The report says:\n\u201cChina remains the most active strategic competitor responsible for cyber espionage against the US Government, corporations, and allies. Beijing will authorize cyber espionage against key US technology sectors when doing so addresses a significant national security or economic goal not achievable through other means. We are also concerned about the potential for Chinese intelligence and security services to use Chinese information technology firms as routine and systemic espionage platforms against the United States and allies.\u201d\nIt\u2019s distressing that President Trump dismissed this report because it did not agree with his delusional fantasies that North Korea is denuclearising and that the so-called Islamic State group has been defeated. There has surely never been a US President with a less functional relationship with the Intelligence community. But put Trump\u2019s uninformed and flailing Tweets to one side, what\u2019s most important about the Worldwide Threat Assessment are its tough judgements about China and the complete unanimity of the American security establishment (outside of the Oval office) on the risks that China presents to the established global order.\nThe Assessment makes it publicly known that China has developed the capability using cyber means to damage critical infrastructure: \u201cChina has the ability to launch cyber attacks that cause localized, temporary disruptive effects on critical infrastructure\u2014such as disruption of a natural gas pipeline for days to weeks\u2014in the United States.\u201d\nThat revelation amply justifies Treasurer Josh Frydenberg\u2019s decision last November not to allow Hong Kong\u2019s CKI Group from taking over the massive gas pipeline assets of the Australian company APA.\nThe intelligence estimate also makes it even more mystifying that the Treasury\u2019s Foreign Investment Review Board, in Frydenberg\u2019s words : \u2018was unable to reach a unanimous recommendation, expressing its concerns about aggregation and the national interest implications of such a dominant foreign player in the gas and electricity sectors over the longer term.\u2019\nNotwithstanding the FIRB\u2019s inability to reach a unanimous recommendation, it\u2019s clear to many countries that there are serious risks associated with transferring the ownership of critical infrastructure to Chinese companies.\nOne risk is that internet-enabled systems can be hacked and damaged by depositing malicious code that can shut systems down, surge or suppress power flows or otherwise play havoc with the controls of vital machinery.\nA second risk is that Chinese state intelligence actors may well have interests in gathering information about the state design of critical infrastructure or the customers of these systems.\nPeople can sometimes be surprised that there is intelligence value to be gained, say, from billing or supply databases. The reality is that not all espionage is focussed on accessing nuclear weapons codes. Chinese intelligence methodology places a lot of value on big data. It became known in late 2018, for example, that Chinese state-sponsored hackers were most likely responsible for stealing data of more than 500 million Marriott hotel customers in a hack that began four years ago and exposed the records of Marriott\u2019s Starwood hotels reservation system.\nThose records will contain the passport and credit card information of many individuals of interest to Chinese intelligence, moreover the Ministry of State Security and the intelligence arms of the People\u2019s Liberation Army have the people and computing power to sift this data and link it to other intelligence information.\nBringing this back to Huawei and the world\u2019s evolving 5G networks, the only sensible conclusion that political decision makers could reach is that Chinese intelligence services would have every interest to access national 5G networks. China has established the legal framework to compel companies to work with the State on intelligence tasks. When the Ministry of State Security comes knocking, no Chinese individual or business have the option to turn them away.\nWith Australia having decided to exclude Chinese companies from 5G, and the United States taking a similar but unofficial approach it\u2019s not surprising that other countries are considering their position. New Zealand followed suit last December, British Telecom has announced it will remove Huawei equipment from its networks. Canada has a decision pending on Huawei and 5G which will surely be influenced by China\u2019s thuggish hostage taking of Canadian citizens after Ms Meng was detained. Japan, India and the European Union, as well as many individual European countries are all looking hard at the case for excluding Huawei from 5G.\nSpeaking on ABC television last week Huawei\u2019s Australian Chairman, John Lord denied that the Chinese state had any influence on his company, although Ms Meng was on the Australian board, he said she played no active role in Australian matters. Huawei, he claimed followed Chinese law, but would never do anything to break the laws of other countries saying, \u2018if we did not operate by those countries\u2019 rules our business would be dead. Overnight one country distrusting us could almost cause our business to collapse.\u2019\nToo late, the horse has bolted. 2019 will be a tough year for Chinese telecommunications companies in overseas markets. 5G networks will divide between those using Chinese sourced equipment and those that don\u2019t and in time it will become much harder to do businesses across that fundamental political and technological divide.\nOriginally published by: The Weekend Australian on 02 Feb 2019",

        "raw_content": "/ What Headphones Does Martin Garrix Use? 2019\nIn a rush? The headphones: V-MODA Crossfade M-100 Over-Ear Noise-Isolating Metal Headphone (White Silver)\nHe has recently started his own record label called STMPD RCRDS\u200b in the first quarter of 2016. He hopes he will be able to use the label to promote artists of many different music genres. He has also recently signed a contract with Sony Music International and released a promotional single titled \"Oops\".\nHe has also been known to have a philanthropic side. He has performed at charity events where all the proceeds were donated to cancer. Additionally, he started off his India tour with a charity show in Mumbai with the proceeds going to the charity organization Magic Bus which educates children across India.\nIt has been reported that Martin Garrix is worth over 14 million dollars. This amount in enough to purchase the best gear available. If you are curious as to what headphones he uses you've come to the right place. As of 2017, Martin has been sporting the V-MODA Crossfade M-100 in white. You can watch him use them in the latest Lollapalooza in Brazil below.\nGreat noise-isolation\nStrong low-end response\nReplaceable individual parts\nThe V-Moda has become one of the most popular headphones on today's market. They are especially popular within the DJ community with many other famous DJs using them as their first choice. We've compared them to the other popular headphones for DJs in our other articles.\nThere are a number of things that make these headphones great for DJs. The dual 50mm drivers provide exceptional bass response - exactly what you need while DJing. They are capable of delivering bass frequencies as low as 5Hz. They also use a separated driver for the mid-high and the low frequencies. This prevents any interference between the two frequency bands. These are definitely one of the most bass heavy headphones on the market.\nThey also score highly in terms of build quality (another feature you need to be looking for in DJ headphones). \u200bThe Steelflex band is designed to take a beating and can be bent in every direction without breaking. The cable can also be bent 100x the industry standard, which is a huge feature to have for DJ headphones. Even if you do find a way to break these headphones, V-Moda will discount you 50% off for your next pair!\nThe other crucial feature is the overall compact design. These headphones can fold up into an incredibly small package. This makes it much easier to stuff into your gear bag when you are on the move. The only thing that is missing is the swiveling driver. This feature is generally very beneficial for DJs as it allows you to sync your incoming song so you hit your correct cue points.\nThe final feature you should be looking for is sound isolation. There is no getting around it, nightclubs are loud places. Having a set of headphones that will cut out surround sound is essential for hearing your next track. It's no surprise that V-Moda scores high points in this arena.\nBy now it should be no surprise that these headphones were designed by a DJ. They are everything you could want in a DJ headphone, and they can also be used as everyday listening headphones. I don't recommend you use them for your primary studio headphones as the frequency response isn't flat. \u200b",

        "raw_content": "Austin's Tire and Auto approaches caring for your car or truck from the ground up. That means that before we look over the internal components of your ride we take time to make sure that you're working with a solid foundation. Our comprehensive undercar inspections and services cover an important area of your car that can easily be neglected and give the foundation of your vehicle the care and attention it deserves.\nAvoid disaster by coming in and having your undercarriage checked out today. Call us at 910-793-5333 or visit us in Wilmington, NC so we can schedule an appointment to ensure your car is in tip-top shape!\nAnti-lock brakes prevent wheel lock-up when rapidly decelerating by automatically modulating the brake pressure during an emergency stop. With this system, the wheels are able to maintain traction with the road while braking. Failure of the anti-lock brakes could lead to an increase in the risks of multiple vehicle crashes and run-off road crashes. To avoid this, have your anti-lock brake system checked and repaired by experts. At Austin's Tire and Auto, we have anti-lock brake experts who will examine and repair your faulty ABS - keeping you safe.\nA brake is a mechanical device for slowing or stopping a vehicle (usually by means of friction). In short, a brake inhibits your car's motion. It lets you stop the car whenever and wherever you choose. Brakes are one of the most important parts of a motor vehicle. Without them, you would not be able to stop the car. If your vehicle's brakes are having issues, consider having them worked on. Brake experts at Austin's Tire and Auto can work on your car's brakes to ensure you have a safe drive.\nA chassis is the car's internal framework that supports the body and other parts like the wheels, engine, transmission, driveshaft, differential, and suspension. A weak or damaged chassis will translate to a weak car. To have a strong and properly working vehicle, have your car's chassis checked for defects. At Austin's Tire and Auto, there are experienced undercar service providers who can work on your chassis.\nAt Austin's Tire and Auto in Wilmington, NC 28412, we can create a custom-made stainless steel exhaust for your vehicle. We specialize in custom performance exhaust systems, stainless steel mufflers, mufflers, exhaust kits, racing mufflers, and exhaust accessories for a huge and diverse range of vehicles: customized cars, standard road cars, classic cars, kit cars, 4x4's, imports, and racecars.\nIn a motor vehicle, an exhaust system is a piping used to guide exhaust fumes away from the engine - usually to the rear of the vehicle. A properly functioning exhaust system not only sounds better, it is better - for you, your car, and the environment. Austin's Tire and Auto has expert technicians to service your car's exhaust system.\nShocks (or shock absorbers) are mechanical devices designed to smooth out rough roads. The devices do this by converting kinetic energy to another form of energy. Properly working shocks reduce the effect of traveling over rough ground, leading to improved ride quality and vehicle handling. When shocks develop problems, driving on poorly leveled roads becomes unpleasant, and your vehicle may sway when turning. To have your vehicle's shocks diagnosed and repaired, visit Austin's Tire and Auto today.\nMuch like a shock absorber (shocks), your car's struts provide a dampening effect as you travel over a road's surface. By absorbing the shock of the road, struts allow passengers to ride in a car without constant and uncomfortable motion. Struts work a bit differently than shocks in that they provide structural support for your car's suspension. This means that struts support your car's weight, unlike shocks which only regulate the speed at which the weight is transferred. Struts usually last around 50,000 or 60,000 miles. This is simply because the damping characteristics of the parts gradually deteriorate over time. Call Austin's Tire and Auto at 910-793-5333 if you have questions about the struts on your car. Our expert technicians will diagnose any problems and help you make an informed decision about repairs.\nAs tires get older, they lose traction and deteriorate from the inside out, increasing the likelihood of a tire bursting. This can cause a rapid loss of control of your vehicle. To have a better performing vehicle, you need to make sure the tires are in good condition. For all your tire needs, contact Austin's Tire and Auto today.",

        "raw_content": "Basel economy in figures selected\nOverview economy\nLocation factors selected\nHow competitive is Basel-Stadt and how does the canton perform with regard to location attractiveness? A look at selected location factors delivers the answers.\nThe competitiveness and attractiveness of Basel-Stadt as a business location is demonstrated on the basis of selected location factors. The location factors shape the location quality and contribute substantially to the growth performance of the economic region.\nExplanation: The total Swiss average is normalized to 100. The most current available years (2013 to 2017) were used.\nIt is apparent that Basel-Stadt is clearly above the Swiss average with regard to accessibility and innovation capacity. The continental accessibility index takes into account the travel time and the frequency needed to reach a given region. In addition to air traffic, road and rail connections are also considered. Basel-Stadt can be reached optimally from Europe as well as from other regions of Switzerland. This is very important, because the better a region is connected, the more it can participate in economic growth. The high capacity for innovation is reflected in the number of patents per capita and in the BAK higher education institutions quality index (based on the CWTS Leiden Ranking). An important factor for the innovation force of a region is also the availability of highly skilled people, i.e. the so-called tertiary rate. Here also, Basel-Stadt features an outstanding characteristic, which is reflected conversely in a lower secondary rate. To compare the taxation of companies and highly qualified persons, the BAK Taxation Index was also considered. The most important indicator for the average taxation of companies is the EATR tax burden (i.e. effective tax burden) of a successful investment, and, for highly qualified persons, the tax burden on a net income of EUR 100,000 for a highly qualified single worker without children. Both indicators take into account all relevant tax types and regulations in the given location. The Tax project 17 will lead to a positive development with regard to today's below-average rating of the company taxation indicator.",

The project was funded by the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity\u2019s (IARPA) Multimodal Objective Sensing to Assess Individuals with Context (MOSAIC) program.\nAl\u2019Absi will guide the team\u2019s stress assessments.\nStress affects everything in our life from heart disease to obesity and addiction, but it also affects how we perform or not perform. It is our goal to forge ahead in discovering new ways toward understanding how our performance and decision making skills are affected in stressful situations.\nDr. al'Absi, Director of the Behavioral Medicine Laboratories and an Expert in Stress Research\nOnes will lead the team\u2019s field research in measuring and forecasting job performance.\nExisting workforce evaluation tools, such as cognitive assessments, interviews and questionnaires, do not always measure how an individual performs on an everyday basis. It is anticipated that the sensors will more accurately capture the behavior of people in different situations and provide insights that eventually enhance work performance and productivity.\nKeysight, China Mobile to Jointly Demonstrate 5G Wireless Communication Systems at Mobile World Congress\nUsing Laser-Level Measurement to Prevent Vessel Build-up\nOutdoor/Indoor Positioning Technology - An Introduction\nTo develop and assess its models, the mPerf team will gather data from hundreds of employees from many organizations in the U.S. and abroad. mPerf Researchers will create innovative sensor-based markers and will then apply data analytics to develop a library of sensor-based indicators to calculate employee characteristics such as ability and personality, and work performance.\nThe six-university team will be headed by Santosh Kumar, Professor at the University of Memphis and director of the NIH-funded Center of Excellence for Mobile Sensor Data-to-Knowledge. The team comprises of some of the country\u2019s top Researchers in work performance (Professor Ones), interpersonal communications (Eugene Buder, Memphis), sensor design and signal processing (Emre Ertin, Ohio State), stress (Dr. al\u2019Absi), mobile computing (Deepak Ganesan, UMass Amherst and Mani Srivastava, UCLA), mobile sensing (Tanzeem Choudhury, Cornell), and machine learning (Benjamin Marlin, UMass Amherst).\n\u201cThrough this project, we hope to develop new approaches to assessing employee talent as well as important workplace behaviors and outcomes, including performance, satisfaction and stress,\u201d said Ones. \u201cThe innovative potential this study holds for the world of work is akin to moving from horse buggy to self-driving vehicles.\u201d\nA project like this is exciting because we can bring this data to the people in the best way possible because we are all affected by work performance.",

        "raw_content": "Ricardo L. Lopez, Staff 1953-1992\nRicardo Lopez Lopez was born June 11, 1931, in Tucson, Arizona. His family history in this area can be traced back to the very early 1800s. He went to school in Arizona and California and worked as a teenager in downtown Tucson. He joined the U.S. Army at the very young age of 19 and after boot camp was sent to Korea for active duty. During his tour in the Korean theater, he was promoted to Sgt. First Class. In 1953, Ricardo started his career at Tucson High as a custodian. With his work ethic and the great pride he took in being part of the THS staff, he achieved the position of Head Custodian. He retired from his position at Tucson High in 1992. He is fondly remembered by many THS administrators, faculty, staff, and students who walked the school\u2019s shiny halls during his 39-year tenure. Ricardo is known as a strong, capable man who remains very affected by the loss of his brave comrades during the trying years he spent in combat. With the encouragement of his family, he has participated in events that honor veterans but, as a humble man, had to be persuaded to actively seek his medals of honor. After a veteran representative from Senator Ed Pastor\u2019s office researched Ricardo\u2019s military history, it was confirmed that Ricardo indeed, not only had military proof but displayed all the traits of a being a deserving candidate to be honored. In, May 2002, Ricardo was presented with eight medals including two Bronze Stars and a Purple Heart. While Ricardo has volunteered with the Tucson International Mariachi Conference and Los Changuitos Feos, he has dedicated his life to his family and friends. When his children were young and he was on vacation from his job at Tucson High, he worked for the American Red Cross. He continues to aid the family, friends, and neighbors who come to him for advice on everything from gardening to dealing with the loss of a loved one or simply for a good story or joke. Ricardo and his wife, Margarita, celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary this year. They have 5 children (all THS grads), 14 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren.",

        "title": "Acre by acre, a family farm is disappearing - Baltimore Sun",
        "raw_content": "Acre by acre, a family farm is disappearing\nAndrew JacobsTHE BALTIMORE SUN\nNORTH CALDWELL, N.J. -- Standing in the middle of James Matarazzo's eggplant patch and gazing up toward his grandfather's farmhouse, which dates to the 1840s, it's almost possible to imagine what life was like here before the split level and the strip mall turned New Jersey into the paradigm of American-style sprawl.\nBut without a good set of blinders, there's no missing the newly built McMansions that surround Matarazzo Farms, nearly 80 of them, all plunked down on land the family has sold over the years.\nMatarazzo grins as he gestures toward one subdivision, Oyster Pond, where million-dollar homes have been set around a former livestock watering hole. \"People put docks on it,\" he says with a bittersweet laugh. Of course, with land selling at $300,000 for half an acre these days, the laugh is more sweet than bitter.\nOf the original 103 acres that Matarazzo's grandfather, who emigrated from Italy, cleared in 1921, only 23 are still growing produce.\nSitting in northern Essex County, one of the most densely settled places in the nation's most thickly populated state, it's a wonder that Matarazzo Farms exists at all. The U.S. Department of Agriculture counted 21 farms in the county in 1997, but Matarazzo says all but two have since given way to development. Statewide, despite an ambitious farm preservation program, more than 50,000 acres of farmland have been lost in the last decade.\n\"Whenever we have a sluggish season, we sell off a few more acres,\" Matarazzo explains. \"The land prices make it too tempting.\" The most recent parcel he sold, where cauliflower, broccoli and corn once grew, is awaiting the construction of seven homes.\nFor now, he's holding on to the rest. His 88-year-old father, Joe, still rides the tractor; his wife and sister run the produce stand; and at 54, Matarazzo figures he has a few more seasons left in him. \"I'll probably die doing this,\" he says, lighting his pipe, a Panama hat shading his eyes.\nHis three children work in air-conditioned offices and hate to rise with the sun, so Matarazzo has no illusions about the farm's long-term future. Every month or so, a land-craving developer stops by and makes an offer. Matarazzo usually tells them to come back another day. \"Every time I think of selling, I get a knot in my stomach,\" he says, sorting through a bin of tomatoes, some of them spotty from the overabundance of rain.\nDespite the odd complaint about rotting produce or noisy irrigation equipment, most residents prize the farm for its fresh produce, bucolic vistas and autumnal hayrides, which draw neighborhood children. Maria Rampinelli, a real estate broker, said she liked the idea of using more land for more houses, but would hate to see all of it go. \"You know, there's absolutely nothing for sale here,\" she said of the housing market. \"But then again, I'd really miss their bread-and-butter corn.\"\nWhen he's not thinking about selling, Matarazzo has more mundane worries: fiendish weather, sagging crop prices, and voracious deer. As the amount of open space here shrinks, the remaining deer are becoming hungrier, peskier, and less fearful. Folk remedies including human hair, bars of soap, and a pack of barking dogs have all failed to keep them out. His latest foil, an 8-foot-tall fence costing $5,000, has been a bust.\n\"I've seen them hop right over with little effort,\" he says, pointing out rows of ravaged cucumbers, corn, and arugula leaves. \"We lose more stuff to the deer than we sell.\"\nWith his slightly frayed chinos, well-trimmed beard, and philosophical musings, Matarazzo doesn't look the part of the tobacco-chewing, weatherworn yeoman. Like his father before him, he is the mayor of North Caldwell, a part-time job he has held for 14 years. \"I guess I keep getting re-elected because everyone always knows where to find me if they have a problem,\" he says.\nMatarazzo never planned to be a farmer. The long hours and the summer vacations he spent hunched over in the sun as a teenager convinced him that he was meant for another vocation. The summer after he graduated from Villanova University with plans to become a sociologist, Matarazzo returned home to make some pocket money.\nHe never left.\n\"I really wanted to get away from this,\" he says, yanking a small cucumber from the vine and popping it into his mouth. \"I guess I could never get used to the idea of working indoors day in, day out.\"\nOf course, there are downsides to the agricultural life. Matarazzo rarely takes a day off, and on the few occasions that he and his wife, Pat, have ventured to Cancun or Boca Raton for a week, he found himself distracted by the Weather Channel.\n\"I never really relax when I'm not here,\" he says.",

Mullis\u2019 new novel\nLinda Jo Scott: Fellow Enquirer columnist publishes novel Linda Jo Scott on Nicole L.V. Mullis\u2019 new novel Check out this story on battlecreekenquirer.com: http://bcene.ws/1NI7SNR\nLinda Jo Scott, For the Enquirer Published 3:47 p.m. ET Aug. 20, 2015\nLinda Jo Scott\nNicole L.V. Mullis is a fellow long-time columnist for the Battle Creek Enquirer. Whereas I am a retired English professor, however, she is a truly professional journalist, with a degree in journalism from Michigan State University. In addition to her columns, which she has written since 2006, she has written for literary magazines and anthologies and has written plays which have been produced in New York and California as well as here in Michigan.\nMullis has three talented teenaged children she often writes about in her columns, and besides all of her writing she also serves as a substitute teacher here in town.\nMullis\u2019 newest and certainly her biggest production of all so far is a novel called \u201cA Teacher Named Faith,\u201d published by Cairn Press in Tucson, Ariz. She invited a large group of her friends to share the news of her book launch, and I enjoyed playing my violin at the party.\nMullis said of her book:\n\u201cA Teacher Named Faith centers on a cynical political cartoonist and his failed seminarian brother. Both men are controlling their lives to the point of destroying them. A tragic event pulls the brothers into the national spotlight, unleashing just enough chaos to save them from themselves.\n\u201cThe story involves a lot of things that I have some experience with \u2013 ballet, the newsroom, living in Michigan, being a control freak. Writing it was a very different process than writing a column or a play. Basically, it was the most exhausting project I have ever undertaken. Well, outside of raising teenagers.\n\u201cI started the novel in Battle Creek in 2007, although I wrote a majority of it while we were living in Canada from 2010-2012. I was blessed to work with several amazing editors. I can honestly say it\u2019s a good read because of their red pens.\n\u201cAlthough it is a novel, it retains a lot of my column-writing style, and is very dialogue-driven. I hope the characters captivate the readers as much as they captivated me.\u201d\nAnd finally, Mullis told me, \u201cLaunching the book in Battle Creek was important to me, but I wasn\u2019t sure of the actual location. When Battle Creek Books opened in March, it was an answer to my prayers. The shop is beautiful, and the owners, Jim and Ginny Donahue are so supportive. Honestly, everyone who attended the July 31st book signing and reading was so supportive. Writing is a rather solitary process. It was a rare and wonderful opportunity to interact with readers in real time.\u201d\nBattle Creek is extremely fortunate to have such a talented writer and substitute teacher as Mullis.\nRead or Share this story: http://bcene.ws/1NI7SNR",

Ex-KLA fighters are held in high regard by many in Kosovo's majority Albanian population.\nBut PM Isa Mustaf told legislators before the vote: \"Finding the truth about some allegations from during and after the war is a challenge that we have to deal with.\"\nImage caption This 1998 photograph show Kosovo Albanians civilians who were driven from their homes after Serb forces launched a crackdown on rebels\nIn May EU judges in Kosovo convicted 11 former Kosovo Albanian guerrillas over their role in the conflict. Among those sentenced to prison was Sylejman Selimi, Kosovo's ambassador to neighbouring Albania.\nThe new tribunal will be part of Kosovo's judicial system, but proceedings will be handled abroad, with reports they may be held in the Netherlands.\nKosovo's ethnic Albanian majority fought an insurgency against Serb forces in the late 1990s, in which more than 10,000 people were killed and hundreds of thousands driven from their homes.\nNato bombed Serb positions to halt the persecution of civilians and, in June 1999, Kosovo was placed under UN administration.\nKosovo formally declared independence from Serbia in 2008, a move that was opposed by Belgrade. The international community is split over recognition.\nEU urges 'war crimes' trial of Kosovo ex-commanders\nRamush Haradinaj, Kosovo ex-PM, detained on war crimes charges\nKosovo ex-rebels face EU war crimes charges",

That would be lovely.\"\nLed Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page is reputed to have begun writing Stairway to Heaven in 1970 in a remote cottage in Wales.\nEarlier this month the band unveiled two previously unheard recordings ahead of the re-issue in June of its first three albums.\nJimmy Page, now 70, meanwhile has scotched rumours of a reunion concert.\nFor a band that broke up in 1980, following the death of the drummer John Bonham, interest in Led Zeppelin remains intense.\nThe surviving members reunited seven years ago for a concert at London's O2 arena.\nLed Zeppelin unleash unheard recordings\nVideo Led Zeppelin reunion 'not likely' says Jimmy Page\nBBC found Zeppelin 'unconvincing'",

It lifts me up, calms me down, helps me focus a busy mind, brings joy to my heart and enriches every moment of the day.\nMusic helps to remind me how to be present in the moment, allowing me to quiet my mind, take a step back from racing thoughts. It helps me balance emotional states, promote a sense of well-being and connect to deep, profound feelings \u2014 without drugs or therapy. It has helped me connect to other cultures and realize we are all one family. As Bob Marley said, \u201cthe thing about music is that when it hits, you feel no pain.\u201d I couldn\u2019t agree more.\nFor the last decade or so, I\u2019ve been sharing my love of music with my patients, suggesting artists to know, albums to buy and playlists to assemble.

        "raw_content": "Bio HR Facts\nSource: (Sequencing the Data - People - Driving Canada's Bio-economy, Labour Market Information Report 2013)\nChange: Canada\u2019s bio-economy has experienced a number of significant changes over the recent years and the industry has redefined itself.\nRegional Distribution: Over half of Canada\u2019s biotechnology companies were from Ontario and the West. However, over the past five years these numbers have decreased from 60.3% (2008) to 57.6% (2013). Significant regional changes occurred in Quebec (which experienced a decline of 10.3%) and the Atlantic region (which experienced a growth of 3.6%).\nCompany Age: While the majority of newly formed companies originate in the West (23.4%) and in Ontario (22.4%), the Prairies report the highest percentage of companies older than 25 years.\nRevenue: Over half of the companies generate more than $250K yearly, while 38.1% generate $249K or less.\nAge and Revenue: Companies with Total Gross Revenue (TGR) of over $1M still tend to be older (in business for over fifteen years), while firms with TGRs of less than $1M still tend to be less than fifteen years old.\nSubsector and Revenue: The highest percentage of companies reporting TGRs of $1M or more are in the Agri-biotech and Bio-energy sectors, while the highest percentage of companies reporting pre-revenue TGRs are in the Bio-health (22.9%) and Bio-industrial (22.2%) sub-sectors.\nBiotech activities and Revenue: The percentage of companies with TGR under $1 million who allocate more than 70% of their budget to biotechnology-related activities dropped from 70.8% to 53.4% between 2008 and 2013.\nSkills shortages: Still remain an issue with 33.2% of companies report skill shortages among staff, in line with the 34.4% reported in 2008. Of those reporting skill shortages, 40% indicate it had an impact on their company regardless of company size. Interestingly, the negative impact of skill shortages is consistent for both small and large companies.\nCritical skills: 93.1% of companies expect interpersonal skills to be very important in the near future, closely followed by 91.7% business development skills and 89.1% management/leadership skills.\nVacant positions: Since 2008, there has been a decrease (9.1%) in the number of companies reporting unfilled biotechnology positions.\nNon-senior openings: The highest percentage of unfilled positions at the supervisory/professional and non-professional levels are in manufacturing, quality control/assurance, distribution, and research and development.\nSenior openings: Unfilled positions in senior management and executive levels are predominant in pre-clinical research, legal/intellectual property and business development.\nTurnover: Turnover rates at all employment levels have declined between 2.5% and 11.6% since 2008.\nLabour mobility: 34.1% of employees who leave for employment in another region move to Ontario. The next most popular regions are the Prairies and the West (12.2% each), the US (9.8%), and the Atlantic (7.3%).\nDiversity: Companies are reporting employing less women (down by 11.5% from 2008), Aboriginal people (down 13.2%), people with disabilities (down 14.3%), US trained staff (down 7.3%), and Internationally Educated Professionals (IEPs) (down 6.7%); however, 51.8% say hiring IEPs improves innovation.\nTraining: 64.7% of companies provide training for their employees, down from 72.8% in 2008.\nOutsourcing: There has been an increase over the past five years from 55% (2008) to 63.2% (2013) in all regions except for Ontario, where outsourcing has declined by 5.7%. Legal/intellectual property continues to be most often outsourced and has increased from 59% (2008) to 74.2% (2013), while HR tends to be the skill that is outsourced the least and has slightly increased from 20.2% (2008) 23.6% (2013).\nFull-time employment (FTE):\nLess than 50 FTEs: The vast majority (80.7%) of companies have fewer than fifty FTEs, which is consistent with the 2008 data (81.2%).\nLess than 10 FTEs: There has been a significant increase in the number of companies with less than ten FTEs, from 44.1% (2008) to 55.6% (2013).\nCapital: The single greatest challenge to product and service development reported is limited access to capital which has increased from 65.9% (2008) to 73.8% in 2013.\nRecruitment and Retention: Larger firms with more than twenty FTEs are more likely to face challenges in recruiting and retaining employees with relevant skills.\nHR: Reality exceeded expectations as 32.2% predicted a shortage of skilled and experienced workers and 14.4% predicted to face insufficient capital to recruit staff to fill these shortages. In reality. 52.9% faced a skills shortage and 44.2%faced insufficient capital to recruit.\nLooking Ahead: Companies expect limited access to financial capital (19.83%), and a lack of practical/non-academic skills (16.53%) to be the biggest challenges in the next three to five years.",

        "raw_content": "The Police Officer http://www.blissful-wisdom.com/the-police-officer.html\nComing home from my daughter's soccer game...\nI pulled up behind a police car at the light. It was dark and raining hard.\nOn my daughter's cell phone was my wife, who in the Philippines, was comforting her dying mother and sharing this difficult time with us over the speaker phone.\nI was lost in the moment, lost in time, and lost in speed and rain and not feeling grounded, as I continued down the highway.\nA little astonished, I became aware that I was being followed by a car with flashing lights. It was that same police pickup truck, which I must have unconsciously overtaken along the way.\nThe officer, young and respectful, asked for my license\nI told him I had forgotten my wallet containing my driver's license in my other coat, and then told him that it wasn't my car either, it was my wife's.\nI was honest and told him that I was not fully present, that my wife was talking on my daughter's speaker phone to us about the sad situation with her dying mother.\nThe officer took my name and code word, and came back five minutes later.\nI told him that whatever I had done , that I owned that, and I then mentally invited his decision without expectation. I felt empty... empty of judgement, empty of anger, empty of want.\nAll our savings, mine, my daughter's, and my wife's had gone to send my wife to visit her dying mother just two days prior. There would be many expenses, and we were okay with that. However, I did not share any of this with the officer. I was prepared to pay the large fines which, though I knew we could not afford, I well deserved.\nHe told me at 5pm, on that dark, rainy Mill Bay highway that he could have the car towed, that he could ticket me for not carrying my driver's license, and that my speed warranted a large fine. I was empty. I had nothing to defend. What could I say?\nHe then said something which moved my soul. He said something which I had neither anticipated, nor expected.\nHis words were: \"Well Mr. Woollam, I could do all that, but I am not going to do any of that. I understand what you are going through at this time, and so, I am letting you off with a warning.\"\nI looked at him in the eyes, felt a lump in my throat, and asked him if I could shake his hand. And as I shook his hand I said \"Thank you\". And I drove home safely, more grounded, but aware of the lump in my throat.\nWhen I arrived at my home a short while later, I walked down the hall, went to my quiet place and sat down. I began to remember this officer who let go of protocol and showed me compassion. And I began to weep. I wept tears of gratitude. Grateful that this officer, this man, this human being had moved my soul by his simple response on that wet, rainy, dark highway. I wept because men like him are an inspiration in my life. I wept because actions like his, move me deeply.\nI awoke the following morning and walked with an open heart and a gratefulness. I realized that I had been losing hope in my fellow men. I realized that this one police officer helped me to remember, that though there are individuals in this society who just don't seem to care, there are many individuals, scattered about this town, this country, this planet, who are generous, considerate and compassionate.....And letting that sink in, allows me to reconnect with my own heart.\nWhen I see this officer again, if I ever see him again, I would be honored to let him know how grateful I am .",

Of which, approx. 800 are the airport's own employees and about 800-900 are employed with the other companies at the airport.\nBillund Airport is a public limited company called Billund Airport A/S. We have public owners, but we operate as a private company.\nAfter the former majority shareholder, Vejle County, was abolished in connection with the municipality reform, the county's 50% shareholding was distributed among the municipalities in the county. From 1 January 2007, the owners are: Vejle Municipality (34.3%), Kolding Municipality (25.9%), Billund Municipality (15%), Horsens Municipality (10.7%), Fredericia Municipality (6.9%), Hedensted Municipality (6.1), Ikaste-Brande Municipality (1.0%) and Skanderborg Municipality (0.1%).\nAt Billund Airport we focus on growth, so that we can maintain and develop our position as Western Denmark's International Airport.\nBillund Airport has two terminals. The new passenger terminal is 40,000 m2 and designed to handle 3.5 million passengers a year with the existing traffic pattern.\nPassengers go to and from the aircraft via walkways or they are driven to and from 16 remote parking areas.\nThe old terminal is home to both some of the activities of Cargo Center Billund and a Business and General Aviation Centre where corporate and business aircraft, as well as taxi and private aircraft are handled.\nCargo Center Billund (CCB)\nCCB is home to GSAs (General Sales Agents), 11 forwarding agents, the air cargo departments of Air France/KLM and SAS, and the express parcel company TNT. The airport and the other companies that are there employ more than 450 employees in the air cargo centre.\nCCB has service halls totalling about 18,000 m2, equipped to handle transfers between lorries and aircraft, break down and build flight palettes/containers and handle both cold and warm temperature-sensitive goods. You can read CCB's description of cargo handling here.\nBorder control station\nThrough our many years of experience in handling live animals (mostly breeding animals) for import and export, our airport has been approved by the Danish and EU veterinary authorities as a border control station. Both veterinary and fisheries control therefore have an office and laboratory here at the airport, where they can immediately analyze samples. Similarly, the airport has fitted out one cargo hall with a boat system and a water trough, so it is possible to house animals for a few hours.",

        "raw_content": "State Territoriality and European Integration\nAuteur: Burgess, Michael\nThe European nation state is now placed between the interconnected processes of globalization and European integration. This new book examines these evolving relationships, showing how the conventional territorial basis of the state is being reappraised.\nBringing together leading thinkers on the nation state, this volume tackles key questions about how we should conceptualize and discuss the political significance of territory in today's world. For example, does the era of Europeanization and globalization herald the end of citizens' traditional attachment to their national territories? Do our conceptions of the state no longer correspond to contemporary political realities? These questions are approached from a range of positions that illuminate the debates now taking place across the world.\nThis book delivers a clear set of key concepts, indicators and theoretical notions to carry out a historically and empirically grounded examination.

        "raw_content": "Sexual Abuse in Care Facilities: How It Happens and What to Do About It\nAbuse in a Wisconsin nursing home, assisted living facility, or community-based residential facility can take on many forms. While all types of abuse are illegal and unwarranted, sexual abuse can be one of the most devastating types of abuse that can occur in a facility.\nWhen you have entrusted the care of your loved one to nursing home staff and other medical professionals, the discovery of sexual abuse is a complete violation of the trust that you once had. As a result, you may be unsure how you can protect your loved one if he or she must be placed in another facility in the future.\nSexual abuse can be not only physically damaging to a resident of a nursing home, but also extremely psychologically damaging. The perpetrators of such acts often prey on the most vulnerable members of our society, including those individuals who suffer from developmental disabilities, physical handicaps that leave them immobile, dementia, and other medical conditions that affect their ability to remember. The tendency of sexual predators to target these victims is no coincidence. Predators assume that there is a good chance that the abused resident will not remember the attack or abusive behavior, or will otherwise be unable to report it to loved ones or to nursing home staff.\nEven if the abuse comes from another resident, and not from nursing home staff, a nursing home has a duty to provide a safe, protected, and supervised environment for all of its residents. This includes sexual abuse perpetrated on one resident by another resident. Failing to properly supervise particularly vulnerable residents, as well as any sexually aggressive or inappropriate residents, often can result in an abusive situation.\nFortunately, the law allows you to seek justice for the sexual abuse that your loved one has suffered after you entrusted his or her care to a facility. If nursing home fails to carefully and regularly monitor residents, investigate complaints of abuse, or is chronically understaffed, then the nursing home should be held accountable for its actions, or its inaction.\nWe are the Wisconsin nursing home abuse lawyers whom you can turn to if you suspect or become aware of sexual abuse with respect to your loved one. No matter how complex or difficult the situation may be, the Madison injury attorneys of Boller & Vaughan are here to advocate on behalf of your loved one and hold negligent nursing care facilities responsible for any abuse that has occurred.",

She studied medicine at the University of Zurich and in 1917, following Steiner's indications, developed a treatment for cancer using mistletoe. In 1921 she founded the first anthroposophical medical clinic, in Arlesheim, Switzerland, followed in 1922 by the Sonnenhof home for children with special needs.\nKarl Koenig first met Wegman in 1927, and she quickly recognized his great potential, as well as his weaknesses.

        "raw_content": "Boyle Ready to Redevelop Synergy Business Park\nBoyle Investment Co. says it will begin work this fall revamping Brentwood\u2019s Synergy Business Park into a walkable, mixed\u2013use development by adding shops, restaurants and a hotel.\nBut first, Boyle is giving the 500,000-square-foot office park a new name: CityPark. The following excerpts are from Boyle\u2019s news release:\n\u201cRedevelopment plans for the office park include a new, 126-room Hilton Garden Inn, which will be developed by Chartwell Hospitality. The 76,710-square-foot hotel will be constructed around historic Mooreland Mansion, which was built on the property in the 1830\u2019s. The Hilton Garden Inn\u2019s architecture was thoughtfully designed to enhance and accentuate the mansion\u2019s historic look and feel. For both Boyle and Chartwell, \u201cthe Mooreland Mansion is a unique and iconic destination, so we see the hotel as a great way to elevate and enhance it\u2019s importance, while also creating a much needed on-site amenity,\u201d according to Rob Schaedle, President of Chartwell Hospitality.\nBoyle\u2019s main goal in the Synergy redevelopment process is to transform the property from an automobile dominated office park, to a vibrant, walkable, mixed\u2013use development with improved connectivity, a vibrant street scene, and on-site retail and restaurant amenities. The new master plan includes six new retail buildings along Executive Center Drive, which will serve as the major entry point into the development.\nThe new retail buildings will be positioned along pedestrian friendly, tree-lined streets, and include outdoor dining venues and on-street parking. Plans also include a 1-acre urban park area at the end of Executive Center Drive, in front of the Mooreland Mansion and Hilton Garden Inn, which will act as the focal point for the development, and as a community gathering spot for tenants, events, and visitors to Synergy.\nAccording to Phil Fawcett, Managing Partner of Boyle Nashville, \u201cSynergy offers retailers and restaurants optimal visibility and connectivity from Franklin Road, a built\u2013in daytime office population, and 393 residents at the adjacent Tapestry apartment complex. It also provides new, walkable restaurant options and retail amenities to Brentwood residents, as well as the existing on-site office users, for optimal convenience. We are excited to bring some new options to Brentwood, and revive the property.\u201d\nBoyle is working with several local and national retailers and restaurants, but is not ready to make any tenant announcements. Construction at Synergy is slated to commence in January 2014 with a projected Summer 2014 delivery date.\nAs part of the redevelopment process, Synergy will also be given a new name. It will now be called CityPark, due to the 1-acre urban park that will act as the center of the development. The park will be unlike anything else in Brentwood, and serve as a new gathering place for activity and interaction. The park element, in conjunction with the new retail and restaurants, led to the new name CityPark.\nNevin Batiwalla covers real estate/development and regional economic development.",

It was posted on omaha.com on August 7, 2016.\nAlmost a decade later, Sharon Martin, 66, still remembers the call and the caller vividly: a teenage boy caught in an emotional riptide of failing grades, divorcing parents and his own recent breakup. A handful of sleeping pills \u2013 that was his plan. En route to make the purchase \u2013 but desperate for a lifeline \u2013 he dialed the Boys Town National Hotline.\nSharon, a specially-trained crisis counselor, picked up and surrounded the boy with support.\n\u201cI called back later that day and talked to his mom, and she said, \u2018You saved his life ... We\u2019re going to get to family counseling. Everything is going to change from here on.\u2019 It was one of the best calls I ever had.\u201d\nFor more than 26 years \u2013 and for thousands of people in turmoil \u2013 Sharon has been a steady, reassuring and life-saving voice on the other end of the line; a woman dedicated to others, fearless about wading into the complexities and messiness of life.\n\u201cWe really do listen, and we really do care,\u201d she says. \u201cEvery day when I leave here, I want to feel like I made a difference in a person\u2019s life, even one person. If I\u2019ve done that, then I\u2019ve done what I needed to do.\u201d\nThe Boys Town National Hotline, supported, in part, by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Nebraska\u2019s charitable giving to Boys Town, is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Callers to the hotline range from exasperated parents to teens dealing with bullying to adults wrestling with varying mental health issues. Some callers just need an ear willing to listen. Others benefit from social service referrals.\n\u201cPeople who are in serious crisis, many times they\u2019ll call and say, \u2018I\u2019m really depressed and I\u2019m feeling suicidal.\u2019 That call can last an hour-and-a-half. We may end up having to involve police,\u201d she offers.\nSharon began serving as a crisis counselor in 1990 when the Boys Town National Hotline was brand-new. It was, to her, a natural extension of the Boys Town family teaching she and her husband had done for 13 years prior.\n\u201cI love helping people \u2013 and I really mean that,\u201d she says. \u201cKnowing that I am listening and caring enough to be in that conversation can make a huge difference in the life of a person who is struggling and feels like they have no one to turn to.\u201d\nA lot has changed during Sharon's tenure. Counselors have computers now, and those in need of assistance can text or chat online. What hasn\u2019t changed are the skills necessary to be effective.\n\u201cYou have to be a caring person. You have to be a good listener,\u201d she says. \u201cYou have to be patient. Patience is a huge component of working here, along with empathy.\u201d\nSharon embodies that blend, and the community has taken notice. Earlier this year, Project Harmony honored her with its Kids First Award for her commitment and distinguished service to children in the community.\n\u201cSharon has a great ability to build rapport with hotline users, leading to best case outcomes,\u201d says supervisor Diana Schmidt. \u201cHer calm demeanor is reassuring to callers; her nonjudgmental manner is refreshing.\u201d\nSharon is equally complimentary of her co-workers.\n\u201cHonestly, the hotline is like no place I\u2019ve ever worked. The people here and the supervisory staff are amazing. They are the most caring group I have ever seen in one building. That\u2019s another big reason why I stay.\u201d\nSharon forewent full retirement last year, dialing back to part time instead. She now can spend more time with her five grandchildren and pursue additional avenues of outreach. She volunteers as a \u201cmentor mom\u201d at Bethlehem House, an organization that offers a safe and nurturing home to pregnant women who are in crisis. More proof that for Sharon, \u201cnot my problem\u201d is not an option.\n\u201cIf people would just extend themselves a little more and show how much they care about each other as we do here on an everyday basis, we\u2019d have such a better world. I just strive every day to come in here and say, \u2018This is the first day of the rest of my life\u2019 and to make it count for somebody.\u201d\n\u201cFaces of Fearless\u201d is a storytelling series in Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Nebraska\u2019s \u201cLive Fearless\u201d campaign celebrating people living their very best lives and inspiring others to do the same.",

        "raw_content": "The 2016 Honda Pilot isn\u2019t set to hit showrooms until later this year, but many drivers have already shown interest in this capable and powerful SUV. Set to be complete with an impressive powertrain as well as advanced features, this vehicle will surely turn heads when it hits the streets of Miami, Coral Gables, and Gladeview.\nNot much is currently known about this new model, but based on the information that has been released, you can expect to experience a performance that can take on everything the road throws at it.\nThe 2016 Pilot will come equipped with an i-VTEC V6 engine that delivers up to 280 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. Two transmission options will be available: a six-speed automatic and a nine-speed automatic. These, while working together with the engine, will provide smooth shifting and acceleration.\nAlso included in the 2016 Pilot will be the Variable Cylinder Management and Eco Assist System for a boost in efficiency.\nInterior Advancements\nTechnology in the anticipated 2016 Honda Pilot will provide both entertainment and safety. Inside, you\u2019ll be able to enjoy features such as an audio system, SiriusXM radio, and HondaLink Next Generation to connect with the world around you.\nFor safety, the 2016 Pilot will feature the Honda Sensing system. It can be used as a hub for a number of driver assist and safety technologies to keep you protected and focused on the road. Some amenities you can activate include the following:\n\u2022 Collision Mitigation Braking System\n\u2022 Road Departure Mitigation System\n\u2022 Multi-Angle Rearview Camera with Guidelines\nWith a new year comes a new look for the Honda Pilot. The 2016 model is set to venture away from its boxy frame and embrace a more rounded shape. Similar to that of the Honda CR-V, the new Pilot looks a bit more like a luxury crossover but still includes subtle hints of a tough and rugged design.\nBut the interior is where the real luxury and sophistication comes in. Matching perfectly with the outer design, the inside will include easy-to-control steering wheel functions and buttons, a large touchscreen monitor, and an information display in the dashboard. The gauges will be brightly lit, and you\u2019ll be able to read them with just a quick glance.\nIn terms of overall measurements, the 2016 Pilot is roomy both in the passenger area and in the cargo bay. In the front seats, you\u2019ll enjoy over 40 inches in legroom, while the middle seat passengers can stretch out with over 38 inches of legroom, and those sitting in the last row will have just about 32 inches in legroom. For the cargo area, you can use a maximum of 83.9 to 109 cubic feet of space, depending on the trim level you choose.\nThe 2016 Honda Pilot has yet to be released in showrooms, but many people have already stopped by our Miami Honda dealership to find out what to expect from this vehicle. If you, too, are interested in understanding the performance and features this capable vehicle has to offer, you can stop by our showroom at 7000 Coral Way in Miami for more information or to check out our current stock of Honda models.",

And we have absolutely no reason in front of us, no evidence in front of us to believe that he can radically change enough to win those votes back.\u201d\nHe continued, \u201cThat pathway to victory has to be narrowed after 2018. And I would say this has been a clarifying election \u2014 clarifying election in the sense that Donald Trump is not going to win re-election.

        "title": "Ben Stiller | Biography, Movies, & Facts | Britannica.com",
        "raw_content": "American actor, writer, and director\nAlternative Title: Benjamin Edward Meara Stiller\nBen Stiller, in full Benjamin Edward Meara Stiller, (born November 30, 1965, New York City, New York, U.S.), American actor, writer, and director, one of the leading movie stars of the early 21st century, known for his comic portrayal of neurotic or aggrieved characters.\nStiller was the son of Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara, who for many years were a celebrated comedy team. While growing up, he occasionally appeared on television with his parents and made his own amateur Super-8 films, which often parodied blockbusters of the time. In 1983 Stiller enrolled at the University of California, Los Angeles, but dropped out less than a year later. After working as an intern at the Actors Studio in New York City, he landed a role in the Broadway premiere (1986) of John Guare\u2019s The House of Blue Leaves and subsequently reprised it when the play was adapted for television (1987). Bit parts in films followed, as well as a brief stint (1989) as a writer and performer on the sketch-comedy series Saturday Night Live.\nIn 1990 Stiller debuted his own sketch series, The Ben Stiller Show, on MTV. Although the show was cancelled within months, a revived version aired on the Fox network in 1992\u201393. Featuring a young ensemble cast, The Ben Stiller Show lampooned popular culture in an anarchically spirited fashion, and its writing staff (which, besides Stiller, included Judd Apatow) earned an Emmy Award. After the show was again cancelled, Stiller directed and acted in the dramedy Reality Bites (1994), a portrait of disaffected, media-saturated young adults that was considered a defining representation of Generation X. He stepped behind the camera again for The Cable Guy (1996), a dark comedy starring Jim Carrey, but the film was poorly received.\nStiller won praise for his lead role in the art-house picaresque Flirting with Disaster (1996), but it was his performance as a lovelorn nebbish in the gleefully vulgar (and wildly popular) comedy There\u2019s Something About Mary (1998) that made him a big-screen star. After demonstrating his versatility with such roles as a heroin-addicted screenwriter in the drama Permanent Midnight (1998), Stiller elicited laughs in Meet the Parents (2000) as a man whose awkward attempts to impress his prospective father-in-law (played by Robert De Niro) invariably go awry. The film was a box-office hit and led to equally farcical sequels in 2004 and 2010. Stiller next starred as a dim-witted fashion model in the madcap Zoolander (2001), which he also cowrote and directed, before joining the ensemble of Wes Anderson\u2019s The Royal Tenenbaums (2001).\nStiller found continued commercial success, if not critical acclaim, with a string of films in 2004, including the romantic comedy Along Came Polly, the sports-movie spoof Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, and the cop-show adaptation Starsky & Hutch\u2014one of several films in his career in which his tightly wound persona provided an amusing foil for the easygoing charm of costar Owen Wilson. Two years later Stiller starred in the highly popular family-oriented adventure Night at the Museum, in which museum displays magically come to life. Sequels followed in 2009 and 2014. He also provided the voice of a wisecracking lion in the animated Madagascar series (2005, 2008, 2012).\nIn Tropic Thunder (2008), his next project as actor, screenwriter, and director, Stiller depicted the comically disastrous production of a Hollywood film about the Vietnam War. As a satire of the entertainment industry, the movie echoed themes that ran through Zoolander and some of his television work. Stiller sensitively personified an aging misanthrope in the relationship-focused Greenberg (2010) before returning to big-budget fare with the caper Tower Heist (2011) and the sci-fi farce The Watch (2012). In 2013 he directed and starred in the melancholy and fantastical The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, which was adapted from a short story by James Thurber. The film chronicles the reveries and real-life encounters of a floundering photograph editor. Stiller then evoked the angst of a stultified documentary filmmaker in Noah Baumbach\u2019s dark comedy While We\u2019re Young (2014).\nIn 2016 Stiller reprised his Zoolander role in a sequel, which he also directed and cowrote. The next year he appeared in Brad\u2019s Status, playing a father who begins to question his life choices when he takes his son on a tour of prospective colleges, and as an estranged son of a sculptor (Dustin Hoffman) in The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected). Stiller then took a gritty turn by directing Escape at Dannemora (2018), a miniseries about the 2015 jailbreak of two convicted murderers from a maximum-security prison and the manhunt that followed.\nJohn M. Cunningham The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica\nAnne Meara, American actress and comedian (born Sept. 20, 1929, Brooklyn, N.Y.\u2014died May 23, 2015, New York, N.Y.), was a versatile and prolific performer onstage, in film, and on TV who was best known as half (with her husband, Jerry Stiller) of the comedy duo Stiller and Meara.

        "raw_content": "Early drag racers will know the name Brian Sparrow, even though it may not be familiar to those who are relatively new to the sport. Through his efforts, Brian can rightly be regarded as one of the founding fathers of drag racing in this country.\nHe is a true motor sport enthusiast in the broadest sense - both 2 and 4 wheeled - with a wide ranging love of all things to do with speed and power. Make that no wheels as well, for in his teens he raced hydroplanes for a couple of years.\nBrian served an apprenticeship at Heathway Engineering before doing National Service, and then embarking on a career in technical writing. Heathway was a feature in a number of early drag racers lives, but Brian's time there did not coincide with that of Allan Herridge or Peter Bartlett.\nIt is very appropriate for Brian to be awarded a 'Bootsie'. He was one of the three founders of Dragster Developments, along with Allan Herridge and John Harrison. They produced one of the first dragsters seen in this country, a straight 8 Buick in 1962, and made parts for many early racers.\nOriginally interested in hill climbs and motorcycle sprints, Brian was an early Competition Secretary of the National Sprint Association. Interestingly, it was at a regular NSA social meeting that Brian and Allan were first introduced to each other by the late NSA club founder, Len Cole.\nThere was a general feeling of antipathy towards the car racers in those times, and yet in the 1960s Brian managed to combine being on the committees of the NSA, British Hot Rod Association, and the British Drag Racing Association all at the same time! It says much for his diplomacy skills that he was able to pull that one off and emerge unscathed, and was acknowledged as an honest broker. His organisational involment extended well into the 1970s, when the sport was well and truly established.\nIn the new Drag Racing and Hot Rod magazine of the mid 1960s, he contributed regularly with news and pictures from the pits at race meetings. Despite only claiming to being a happy snapper, his pictures provide a great record of past times, which have been appreciated by later book writers - as has his encyclopaedic memory.\nWhen the US team came to Santa Pod in 1966, Brian was instrumental in choosing the participants. Sadly, one of his choices - Art Arfons - was not approved by the promoter due to noise worries at the fledgling track!\nAll these year later, Brian can still be found in the grandstands for at least a couple of drag races a year - along with attending his favourite hill climbs. Like many other race fans, Brian enjoys the fact that bikes and cars race at the same meetings.\nNow in his seventies, he still talks with real enthusiasm about the sport he helped develop over those formative years.",

        "title": "Autumn Feeding",
        "raw_content": "Autumn Feeding\nAlthough there is a lot written about feeding systems at different times of the years, or the benefits of various materials, nutrients and nutraceuticals, we should never lose sight of the fact that horses are herbivores and the biggest portion of their diet is grass. Although there is a myriad of activities, environments, sizes and breeds, the physiology of the gastrointestinal tract remains the same, and grazing behaviour is hardwired into the horse\u2019s psyche.\nAs said, the horse is a grazing animal. The ranging horse moves into an area and selects a patch to graze. There are occasional forays to other sections to try different plants (a top up of nutrients!), and a return to the original. In terms of nutrition, this supplies a sufficient diet for a nomadic herd, and satisfies the behavioural needs of foraging, searching and remaining.\nThe domestic horse, however, does not have this freedom. If grazed, it is likely to be on limited species, and it also undergoes levels of activity that grass may not be able to sustain. Except, perhaps for the resting horse on grazing, we probably need some form of supplementation.\nTraditionally, a hard feed \u2013 increasing in energy and protein, as activity increases \u2013 would have been the solution to the problem but, over the past years, the introduction of super fibres has changed the way we think. Providing higher levels of slow release of energy is regarded as a good option, and reduces the risk of providing too much starch to upgrade feeds. Super fibres are those that are more fully fermented than forage fibre; beet pulp, for example has an effective degradability 50% greater than grass and recent research indicates that Speedi-Beet further increases this value. As such the energy levels of their diet can be increased whilst still relying on the volatile fatty acids that are the mainstay of horse digestible energy.\nFeeding high levels of fibre has other benefits. Physical presence in the gut helps maintain the correct environment and physiology; the efficiency of microbial fermentation is optimised, the acidity of the gut well-buffered, ensuring a well-functioning system. Disruption, due to high starch feeds can, in some cases exacerbate problems like laminitis, ulceration, colic etc. Speedi-Beet has the additional benefit - with its ability to soak up to ten times its own weight in water \u2013 of assisting hydration of both the gut and the horse.\nBritish Horse Feeds encourages the philosophy of \u201cforage, fibre, feed\u201d. This fits with the behavioural drive of the horse. What nutrients that cannot be achieved through grazing can be supplemented by searching (Fibre) and further achieved if that is insufficient. In the majority of cases, feeding a super fibre like Speedi-Beet alongside forage will supply all the protein and energy needed. Speedi-Beet has an energy level comparable to cereal sources and can replace hard feed with no loss of performance. Obviously, for intense activity a hard feed may be necessary but, if fed with Speedi-Beet, less starch or fat energy is offered and gut physiology is less impacted. Research has shown that gut fill does not affect performance detrimentally, and fermentation of Speedi-Beet fibre in the hindgut produces sufficient propionic acid that can be converted to glucose to energise fast twitch muscle fibres (those that provide the power required for intense exercise).\nIn short, by supplementing forage with a super fibre like Speedi-Beet is all that may be needed for the active horse.",

The fact that he was born in Gelsenkirchen (24 October 1990), the home of arch-rivals FC Schalke 04, makes that achievement all the more remarkable.\nSchoolboy pro\nTo make matters worse, G\u00fcndogan even played for his hometown club's youth team, but his silky performances for BVB, especially in the second half of the 2011/12 campaign, soon eased any anxieties about where his loyalties lie.\nFollowing his short spell at Schalke, G\u00fcndogan joined the VfL Bochum youth academy in 2005 before catching the eye of then Bundesliga 2 side 1. FC Nuremberg, who secured the youngster's services in early 2009. Given his composure on the ball and ability to spot gaps in the opposition defence, the midfielder established himself as an indispensible figure at the heart of the recently promoted side. Quite an achievement for a player who was still studying for his school leaving certificate at the time!\nHis performances did not go unnoticed and there was soon a long queue of clubs hoping to snap him up. Dortmund won the race for his signature and brought him back to the Ruhr area. \"He's an extraordinarily good passer, technically superb, has a terrific attitude and is a very smart boy,\" said BVB coach J\u00fcrgen Klopp.\nOnly the beggining\nG\u00fcndogan's rapid rise to the top is far from over. Opting to represent Germany rather than his parents' homeland Turkey, he earned his first senior international cap in October 2011 against Belgium and travelled to EURO 2012 as a squad member.\nHowever, it was during the following season that the defensive midfielder truly made a name for himself as an integral cog in Dortmund's system under Klopp. Impressive performances in BVB's UEFA Champions League campaign in 2012/13 earned G\u00fcndogan admirers the world over, who were quick to notice the youngsters' world class potential.",

        "raw_content": "... there is hope.\nHere are 5 ways I (and others) have pulled out of the sadness, loneliness, and depression.\nI remember very vividly too many mornings that I sat in my car, wiping my tears, and making sure that I my mascara wasn't smeared all over my eyes before walking into school. I didn't want anyone to know that their employee, their teacher-friend, their teacher was fighting depression and a feeling of complete and total isolation and sadness.\nSome mornings, I felt like I had a reason to be sad and others I really didn't know why the tears flowed.\nBut, either way, they did.\nIt wasn't until I had a very public emotional breakdown, in my grade level hallway, in front of all of my friends, that I realized that I had a real problem and that I had to take some action.\nHere's what I did (and others are doing) to either pull themselves out of the depths of depression or keep themselves from going back.\n1. We talked about it and sought out the WHY.\nFor the several times that I went through depression and burnout, the real solution started with conversations about my feelings and really trying to figure out the WHY. This was different than complaining, blaming, and bitching to people who didn't know what it was like to be a teacher.\nFinding other educators who understood where my frustrations were, what I could do about it, and where I could find more support was a huge help in me fighting the depression and the loneliness.\nSeveral teachers in The Burned-In Teacher Facebook Group have mentioned seeking out other Facebook Groups that are specific to their grade level, subject, or title. Finding a place where 'your people' hang out has been really helpful, they have said.\n2. We got physical or got lost in a good book.\nAnother way me and others from the Burned-In Teacher Facebook Group have taken action is to simply get physically active. Running, paddle boarding, going for a walk with a teacher friend, doing aerobics, or yoga are only a few of the ways that we have gotten active and have seen results of higher spirits, healthier relationships, and less isolation.\nOther teachers feel freedom and release from the stress of teaching by reading and finding others who enjoy reading in their building. They start a 'book sharing club' of sorts, and find solace in sharing their love of good literature to combat depression and isolation.\nWhatever your hobby is, make sure you do it and do it often.\nMy advice to you? Find something that you enjoy doing (whether it's diving into a good book or a pool) and make it a priority. No excuses. Especially no grading papers in your classroom over taking a nice bike ride with your significant other.\n3. We took action.\nIf you've read my story here on burnedinteacher.com or have heard me mention it during Burned-In Teacher LIVE, you know that there were several points in my teaching career where I had to take significant action. Some of my big action steps seemingly failed in the moment, but in the end all lead up to me getting to a place that was right for me.\nTaking action can be very scary and even seem impossible in some settings. But taking action for your specific situation, personality, goals, and aspirations looks different for everyone and they are certainly all important.\nWhere I have seen the most burnout in my short career as a Teacher Coach and EdTech Consultant is when teachers have found themselves stuck in the same routines for years with no goals and no plans to set them. Even if you've been teaching for thirty years, you have to know that it's ok to have desire change and that it's never too late to take action towards it.\n4. We stopped letting people have power over us.\nAs teachers, we are in the constant role of \"peace keeper\" and that's great. But some teachers (including myself, at one point) believe that being a peace keeper means not advocating for themselves. When we allow our principal, a bully teacher, or our students to have power over our emotions, we will lose every time.\nThis is not permission to be combative, argumentative, or aggressive. This is permission to be a problem solver and feedback seeker.\nYou can stop letting people have power over you by doing a few things:\n- Have a conversation about and set expectations for being respectful to one another and to you with your students. This doesn't have to be a rule-setting session, but more of a setting of expectations that you are all a team and that it doesn't have to you against them or vice-versa. Letting them know that you are all in this together can make a huge difference in how your students treat each other and you. (This will not be an immediate change. It will take many reminders, conversations, and modeling for it to become a full expectation.)\n- Make it known how you feel and let it also be known that you will not stand for it anymore. In my first years of teaching, I allowed myself to be bullied by not only my fellow grade level teachers, but even my mentor teacher and principal. I don't even know if they necessarily knew they were doing it, but it was happening none-the-less. If I would have had the courage to stand up for myself and say, \"This is what I feel is happening, this is how I feel about it, and I need to know what we can do as professionals to make it stop.\" I would have set myself up for a lot more success, respect, and less sadness.\n- Believe that YOU ARE IMPORTANT and so are your feelings. Several teachers who I've talked to have mentioned many times that they feel that no one even cares about them. And my question to them is, \"How do you know that this is how they feel?\" A lot of times it is speculation and assumption. Believe that you are worth taking the time to have conversations, take action, and build those relationships with kindness and empathy, before you assume that everyone hates you.\n5. We made a much needed change.\nThis one is pretty subjective based on the reason for our depression, sadness, or discontent. For me, I needed a change in the definition of my career as a teacher. I needed to be the master of my own time and serve students through serving their teachers through the BIT website, coaching, and edtech consulting (edtech being another love of mine).\nFor you, it could be the same thing or simply a change in grade level or school building.\nHere's where I'm going to get a little real with you...\nSometimes the much needed change is us and our attitude. I'm embarrassed, but not ashamed to tell you that some of the challenges that I found in my career were caused by me. Whether it was my attitude, my delivery, or what I believed to be true, I had some changes to make in myself before I could change anything else about my unhappiness.\nSo, if you believe that your principal is putting too much on your plate and you hate him for it, think about it. Is that really what he means for you to do? If you're unsure, simply ask him.\nIf your colleague isn't wanting to collaborate with you, is it because you always bowl her over with your opinions about how things should be taught, your negativity about how education is going down the toilet and it doesn't matter what you do, or maybe it's because you simply aren't nice.\nThis is not to say that you are the root of your depression, anxiety, loneliness, or sadness. There are certainly many factors that can be happening around us that can make teaching life very hard and unpleasant.\nBut there are also many things that we can do both internally and externally to pull ourselves out of this cycle of depression and burnout.\nIf you want or need support, the Burned-In Teacher Facebook Group is ready and willing to give you that support. We're here for you. No matter what.\nHere are a couple more great articles on teaching with depression:\nhttps://www.edutopia.org/article/teaching-depression\nhttps://www.weareteachers.com/teacher-depression-anxiety/\nTake a deep breath.

What we say to customers can have an enormous impact on how customers view us and how we view ourselves.\nTake, for example, \u201cmy pleasure\u201d \u2013 a signature phrase used by employees the quick-service restaurant Chick-fil-A \u2013 it sure sounds better than \u201cno problem\u201d. Moreover, it subtly reminds employees that service should look as if it is a pleasure and not a chore.\nThe discount department store chain Target refers to its customers as guests. While this may not seem like a big deal, it is. Every time the word guest is used in the store, it is a cue that, indeed, customers are guests and should be treated that way.\nDisney calls its park employees cast members. This choice in language reinforces the idea that employees are part of the guest experience and are on stage for every visitor to the park.\nBy choosing words wisely, businesses can improve the service experience and avoid disasters.\nImagine for a moment that you were running a funeral home. You probably would want your employees to avoid phrases such as \u201chave a nice day\u201d when talking with grieving family members. But without a little instruction, could you be sure that that phrase said in countless interactions every day would not be said in your business? I bet not 100% of the time with 100% of employees.\nLanguage should not be left up to chance. Think about your typical customer interactions, and look for languaging opportunities. What do you call customers? How do you refer to employees? How do you say thank you?\nBy being consistent, your organization is more likely to communicate the messages it wants others to hear.\nService-Centric Language\nInstead of \u201cI can\u2019t help you,\u201d say, \u201clet me tell you who is responsible for that area and best able to assist you.\u201d\nInstead of \u201cI don\u2019t know,\u201d say, \u201cthat\u2019s a good question, let me do a little research and see if I can find the answer for you.\u201d\nInstead of \u201cno problem,\u201d say \u201chappy to help\u201d or \u201cmy pleasure.\nInstead of \u201cyou\u2019ll have to wait,\u201d say \u201cthe wait time is about XYX minutes.

Infinitely Polar Bear, along with Trumbo and Anomalisa, was one of the rare surprises in the Golden Globe film nominations this year \u2014 mostly because nobody knew what it was. While many have heard of indie hits like Ex Machina and 99 Homes, Infinitely Polar Bear is, to many Golden Globe viewers, a complete mystery. And yet the Golden Globes nominated Ruffalo for his performance in the film. So, what is Infinitely Polar Bear actually about?\nMark Ruffalo stars in Infinitely Polar Bear as Cam Stuart, a father to two young girls, Amelia and Faith, who suffers from manic-depression. The semi-autobiographical film, from writer-director Maya Forbes, takes place in the '70s and follows Cam and his daughters as his wife, Maggie Stuart (Zoe Saldana), leaves him to take care of the kids so she can go to business school in the hopes of later being able to send their daughters to private school. Through his interactions with his daughters, we see Cam struggle through manic periods of energy, followed by severe depression. His erratic behavior is alternatively exhilarating and terrifying, allowing Ruffalo to give a dynamic performance worthy of his Golden Globe nod.\nNow, call me old fashioned, but be when I hear that a movie is a familial dramas about mental illness, I assume it's a drama. And, Infinitely Polar Bear, which has been categorized as a comedy by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) for the Golden Globes, does have dramatic leanings. But, as director Forbes put it in an interview with Indiewire, her father as a character was a whole person, not just defined by mental illness:\n\"I wanted to portray a person with mental illness in a humane, respectful way. But I didn't want it to be maudlin or dour. I wanted to capture the whole person. It's not like my father was defined by mental illness. I directed Mark towards the way my father would have behaved and, as an adult, I realized \u2014 because Mark was doing such a good job \u2014 how theatrical my father was.\"\nFor his part, Ruffalo was drawn to the project after reading the script, and immediately saw the humor in Forbes' story. \"I got a script that really jumped out at me. I read it and felt that it had so much humor and pathos and honesty. ...I loved it, I thought it was funny, I was really moved by it,\" Ruffalo said in an interview with Vanity Fair .\nInfinitely Polar Bear is a truly personal film, and definitely one any self-respecting Mark Ruffalo fan should watch. Unfortunately, after it first premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2014, Infinitely Polar Bear was only released in a small number of theaters in the summer of 2015, causing it to fly way below the radar. Still, there is hope for those curious about the movie. Infinitely Polar Bear is currently available on DVD and to purchase or rent on iTunes \u2014 perfect for anyone trying to cram in movies before Sunday's Golden Globe awards.\nImages: Sony Pictures Classics",

        "raw_content": "Camille Grammar Returns to \u2018RHOBH\u2019, But We Need More Than A Single Cameo\nCamille Grammer is one of the greatest Bravolebrities of all time. If I'm being totally honest, I don't think The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills has even been as great since she left. Thankfully, the Bravo gods (Andy Cohen) have answered my prayers, because Camille Grammer will appear in the RHOBH Season 5 premiere! After missing years of psychic dinner parties, we're finally going to get another little taste of Camille. And while Bravo hasn't promised anything yet, she seems so excited about the season that I wouldn't be surprised if we see her return a few times throughout. She's not officially listed on Bravo's website as a cast member or a recurring \"friend\" of the ladies, but neither is Adrienne Maloof \u2014 who's already confirmed that she'll be appearing in a few cameos beyond the premiere. Fingers crossed that Camille will be doing the same.\nThe reality TV star has been very busy since she left the show, but now we'll get to see what she's been up to for all of 2014. Camille was diagnosed with endometrial cancer, and went into treatment at the end of 2013. Now that she's done with her treatments, Camille has become an anti-cancer activist.\nWe may even get to see some of The Race to End Women's Cancer, a huge national event that Camille has helped promote, on the show. The RHOBH love to show up for a good charity event, and no high heels required. Kyle Richards even posted on Facebook that she was excited to help support the cause by participating. And Camille made a very memorable modeling appearance at Betsey Johnson's NY Fashion Week show, where she dressed as a demented bride with raccoon makeup and, if you look close, a necklace that reads \"PRENUP.\"\nBut even with all that going on, Camille has made time to excitedly tweet all week about the RHOBH premiere, throwing out #TBT pics featuring the original cast and telling all of her fans that she always makes time to watch the show.\nAnd now we'll get to see her on screen again! I'm all for it. They need to give Camille as much screen time as she's willing to take. It's a fun reminder of the early seasons, and hopefully it will change things up from always revolving around Lisa, Kyle, and the friend police. Because Camille transcends all of that. PRENUP necklace, people. Prepare yourselves for amazingness.\nImages: Bravo; Getty Images",

        "raw_content": "\u201cDeep-frozen products that match, if not surpass the taste, appearance and high, hand-crafted quality achieved by a baker.\u201d In 1991, master baker Erwin Wolf had a vision that is still making history today \u2013 the history of Wolf ButterBack that goes back 25 successful years.\nPassion and fighting spirit\nThe modest foundations of Wolf ButterBack were laid in a double garage in Stein, near F\u00fcrth. In the early years, Erwin Wolf, Dagmar Kreis and a team of 13 staff produced a range of 12 butter pastries.\nThe hard work pays off! After its successful launch, the premises in Stein soon become too small. The business moves to a larger production facility in Nuremberg. New products are created and the range is extended.\nHaving been with the company since the start, Dagmar Kreis is appointed Managing Director. The Franconian company now employs 74 full-time staff and 250 part-timers. The product range has since multiplied.\nStriding into the future\nThe wish for its own premises grows as quickly as the company itself. New company premises are built in Fuerth, equipped with state-of-the-art production machinery, a high-bay warehouse and several offices.\nA new family has to be found: following the tragic road death of Dagmar Kreis, Erwin Wolf decides to sell the company to the Martin Braun Group which is incorporated within the Oetker Group\u2019s food division.\nThe site continues to grow\nThe company\u2019s notable growth makes it necessary to build a new complex on the same site. The second facility, that has a capacity for five production lines, a deep-fry donut line and a high-bay warehouse for up to 5,000 bays, is commissioned.\nDeep-frozen pastries take on the world: by 2009, Wolf ButterBack is selling its deep-frozen pastries to more than 20 countries. Our products can be enjoyed in countries such as Austria, Italy, the Netherlands, Scandinavia, France, Belgium, Estonia, Russia, Slovenia, Turkey and Japan.\nWe\u2019re staying in F\u00fcrth! With a new social block for up to 800 staff, Wolf ButterBack invests in its future in F\u00fcrth.\nWork on the third production facility starts on 20.10.2016.\nWolf ButterBack produces around 300 million bakery products every year.\nThe new deep-frozen high-bay warehouse will be 42.5 metres in height.\nEvery day, Wolf ButterBack uses around 20 tonnes of butter.\nWe have patented the manufacturing process for the Marble Croissant.",

        "raw_content": "Mille Miglia 2017: 90 years of automotive passion\nDating back to 1927, Italy\u2019s Mille Miglia is one of the most iconic and historic road races on the planet.\nFirst run in the same year as the debut race on Germany\u2019s infamous Nurburgring Nordschleife, the Mille Miglia, or \u2018Thousand Miles\u2019, starts and finishes in Brescia in northern Italy.\nDespite the immense automotive passion of Brescians \u2013 six automobile manufacturers were founded in Brescia \u2013 the original \u2018race\u2019 was ceased in 1957, after two fatal crashes and more than 50 reported deaths.\nSeveral iterations of the race took place between 1958 and 1977, before the Mille Miglia returned in 1982 as a reliability and regularity endurance road rally event for historic automobiles.\nWhile always taking in approximately 1000 miles (a little over 1600km) of Italian public roads between Brescia and Rome, the Mille Miglia route isn\u2019t always the same, and this year, CarAdvice was lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time.\nTaking place between May 18 and 21, the 35th edition of the Mille Miglia was spread across four days, and comprised four legs stretching between Brescia and Padova, Padova and the Vatican City in Rome, Rome and Parma, and finally Parma and Brescia.\nIn central Italy\u2019s stunning Umbria region for a feature story on one man\u2019s impressive homage to the Mazda MX-5 \u2013 called \u2018Miataland\u2018 \u2013 we were able to get a brief look at some of the more than 400 1923-1957 historic sports cars that took part in this years event.\nAs the Mille Miglia rolled through the small town of Todi, during Day Two\u2019s run between Perugia and Terni on the group\u2019s way to Rome, we managed to catch a drool-worthy collection of cars from the likes of Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin, Austin Healey, Bentley, BMW, Bugatti, Chrysler, Citroen, Ferrari, Fiat, Ford, Jaguar, Lancia, Lotus, Maserati, Mercedes-Benz, MG, Oldsmobile, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Studebaker, Triumph, and Volkswagen, among others.\nSurprisingly, while we were expecting a field of solely historic vehicles, it turns out a raft of far more modern high-end metal was also taking part in the epic cross-country drive, including cars from Ferrari, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz. No bad thing\u2026 Although it was also somewhat amusing to note just how much attention the little car we had arrived in attracted \u2013 a 1994 Montego Blue NA Eunos Roadster RS-Limited from Miataland.\nThough not quite as old as the world-famous Targa Florio, started in 1906, the Mille Miglia, which can trace its roots back to the 1926 establishment of the Brescia Automobile Club, is still an incredibly special event to witness and one we would certainly recommend you check out for yourself.\nIf you do want to go, however, be aware that the event marshals and local police are fairly strict with non-competitors following the main cars. That means, your best bet is to pick a spot on the route, get comfy, and spend a day watching as much automotive cool fly by you as you can.\nFor the record too, the winners of the Mille Miglia 2017, and therefore the winners of the second Roberto Gaburri trophy, were Andrea Vesco and Andrea Guerini, with their 1931 Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Gran Sport taking top points ahead of the race\u2019s other 372 finishers.\nClick on the Photos tab for more Mille Miglia 2017 images by Glen Sullivan and David Zalstein.",

DiNardo of Galveston-Houston gives a homily during a September 2017 Mass at St. Ignatius Church in Spring, Tex., for victims of Tropical Storm Harvey. JAMES RAMOS, TEXAS CATHOLIC HERALD | CNS\nBishop Burbidge addresses the Pennsylvania grand jury report, Archbishop McCarrick and other topics in this week's episode of the Walk Humbly podcast.\nWASHINGTON \u2014 The president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops Aug. 16 announced three key goals and a comprehensive plan to address the \"moral catastrophe\" of the new abuse scandal hitting the U.S. church.\nThe plan \"will involve the laity, lay experts, the clergy and the Vatican,\" Cardinal Daniel N. DiNardo of Galveston-Houston said. This plan will be presented to the full body of bishops at their general assembly meeting in Baltimore in November.\nHe said the \"substantial involvement of the laity\" from law enforcement, psychology and other disciplines will be essential to this process.\nHe also said that right now, it is clear that \"one root cause\" of this catastrophe \"is the failure of episcopal leadership.\"\nIn a lengthy letter addressed to all Catholics, Cardinal DiNardo laid out three goals just established by the bishops' Executive Committee in a series of meetings held early the week of Aug. 13.\nThe first is a \"full investigation\" into \"the questions surrounding\" Archbishop Theodore E. McCarrick, a former cardinal and retired archbishop of Washington. He said the Executive Committee will ask the Vatican to conduct an apostolic visitation into these questions \"in concert with\" a group of laypeople identified for their expertise by the USCCB's lay-run National Review Board who will be \"empowered to act.\"\nWith a credible allegation that Archbishop McCarrick abused a minor nearly 47 years ago and accusations of his sexual misconduct with seminarians, many have been asking how the prelate could have risen up the ranks of the church as an auxiliary bishop, bishop, archbishop and finally cardinal.\nCardinal DiNardo described the second and third goals, respectively, as an opening of new and confidential channels for reporting complaints against bishops, and advocacy for more effective resolution of future complaints.\nThe three goals \"will be pursued according to three criteria: proper independence, sufficient authority and substantial leadership by laity,\" he said.\n\"Two weeks ago, I shared with you my sadness, anger, and shame over the recent revelations concerning Archbishop Theodore McCarrick,\" the cardinal said. \"Those sentiments continue and are deepened in view of the Pennsylvania Grand Jury report.\n\"We are faced with a spiritual crisis that requires not only spiritual conversion, but practical changes to avoid repeating the sins and failures of the past that are so evident in the recent report,\" he added.\nCardinal DiNardo said the members of the Executive Committee \"have already begun to develop a concrete plan for accomplishing these goals, relying upon consultation with experts, laity and clergy, as well as the Vatican.\"\nIn addition to this being presented to the full body of bishops at their Baltimore assembly, the cardinal said he will go to Rome to present these goals and criteria to the Holy See, and to urge further concrete steps based on them.\"\n\"The overarching goal in all of this is stronger protections against predators in the church and anyone who would conceal them, protections that will hold bishops to the highest standards of transparency and accountability,\" Cardinal DiNardo explained.\nHe elaborated on each of the goals he described, starting with the \"full investigation\" of the Archbishop McCarrick case and questions surrounding it.\n\"These answers are necessary to prevent a recurrence,\" he said, and \"so help to protect minors, seminarians and others who are vulnerable in the future.\"\nThe bishops will \"invite the Vatican to conduct an apostolic visitation to address these questions, in concert with a group of predominantly laypeople identified for their expertise by members of the National Review Board and empowered to act,\" he said.\nHe said the second goal \"is to make reporting of abuse and misconduct by bishops easier.\"\n\"Our 2002 'Statement of Episcopal Commitment' does not make clear what avenue victims themselves should follow in reporting abuse or other sexual misconduct by bishops,\" he explained. The statement is in the bishops' \"Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People,\" approved in Dallas in 2002, and revised in 2005, 2011 and 2018.\n\"We need to update this (commitment) document,\" Cardinal DiNardo said. \"We also need to develop and widely promote reliable third-party reporting mechanisms. Such tools already exist in many dioceses and in the public sector and we are already examining specific options.\"\nThe third goal has to do with advocating for \"better procedures to resolve complaints against bishops,\" he said.\n\"For example, the canonical procedures that follow a complaint will be studied with an eye toward concrete proposals to make them more prompt, fair, and transparent, and to specify what constraints may be imposed on bishops at each stage of that process,\" he said.\nHe also laid out the three criteria for pursing these goals: \"genuine independence,\" authority and \"substantial involvement by the laity.\"\n\"Any mechanism for addressing any complaint against a bishop must be free from bias or undue influence by a bishop,\" he said. \"Our structures must preclude bishops from deterring complaints against them, from hampering their investigation, or from skewing their resolution.\"\nRegarding authority in the church, he said, \"Because only the pope has authority to discipline or remove bishops, we will assure that our measures will both respect that authority and protect the vulnerable from the abuse of ecclesial power.\"\nAbout the \"substantial involvement of the laity,\" he said: \"Laypeople bring expertise in areas of investigation, law enforcement, psychology, and other relevant disciplines, and their presence reinforces our commitment to the first criterion of independence.\"\nIn closing, he said, \"I apologize and humbly ask your forgiveness for what my brother bishops and I have done and failed to do.\"\n\"Whatever the details may turn out to be regarding Archbishop McCarrick or the many abuses in Pennsylvania (or anywhere else), we already know that one root cause is the failure of episcopal leadership,\" Cardinal DiNardo said. \"The result was that scores of beloved children of God were abandoned to face an abuse of power alone. This is a moral catastrophe.\n\"It is also part of this catastrophe that so many faithful priests who are pursuing holiness and serving with integrity are tainted by this failure.\"\nHe said the U.S. bishops \"firmly resolve, with the help of God's grace, never to repeat it.\"\n\"I have no illusions about the degree to which trust in the bishops has been damaged by these past sins and failures. It will take work to rebuild that trust,\" Cardinal DiNardo said.\nHe said the goals and plans outlined in his letter are \"only the beginning.\"\n\"Other steps will follow,\" he said. \"I will keep you informed of our progress toward these goals.\"\nHe asked U.S. Catholics \"to hold us to all of these resolutions.\"\n\"Let me also ask you to pray for us, that we will take this time to reflect, repent and recommit ourselves to holiness of life and to conform our lives even more to Christ, the Good Shepherd.\"\nFull statement from Cardinal DiNardo:\nTwo weeks ago, I shared with you my sadness, anger, and shame over the recent revelations concerning Archbishop Theodore McCarrick. Those sentiments continue and are deepened in light of the Pennsylvania Grand Jury report. We are faced with a spiritual crisis that requires not only spiritual conversion, but practical changes to avoid repeating the sins and failures of the past that are so evident in the recent report. Earlier this week, the USCCB Executive Committee met again and established an outline of these necessary changes.\nThe second goal is to make reporting of abuse and misconduct by bishops easier. Our 2002 \"Statement of Episcopal Commitment\" does not make clear what avenue victims themselves should follow in reporting abuse or other sexual misconduct by bishops. We need to update this document. We also need to develop and widely promote reliable third-party reporting mechanisms. Such tools already exist in many dioceses and in the public sector and we are already examining specific options.\nWe firmly resolve, with the help of God's grace, never to repeat it. I have no illusions about the degree to which trust in the bishops has been damaged by these past sins and failures. It will take work to rebuild that trust. What I have outlined here is only the beginning; other steps will follow. I will keep you informed of our progress toward these goals.",

        "raw_content": "Chapter Nineteen - The Feast of Unleavened Bread Day 7\u2014Holy Day\nAnd greetings brethren. This is the last day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread \u2013 2004. And we look back at all the feasts that we\u2019ve kept down through the years. And we\u2019ve never realized that the time would go this long. But it\u2019s going this long and the days around us are more evil than we have ever expected. And so we just need to, through this Feast of Unleavened Bread, as we have been doing, draw close to God. Now with the last day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread we\u2019re going to go ahead and take up an offering as we\u2019ve already seen on the first day of Unleavened Bread that there is an offering on the last day. We\u2019re going to go ahead and take up that offering with the same understanding that we\u2019ve had before. Remember the blessings of God, remember how God has promised to give you all sufficiency in all things. And giving the offerings and tithes are all a part of living by every Word of God. And so I hope that you really appreciate the things that we\u2019ve been able to do, and I hope that you\u2019re enjoying the New Testament. So we\u2019ll just go ahead and take a break, and we will pick up after the offering is taken up.And greetings brethren. This is the last day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread \u2013 2004. And we look back at all the feasts that we\u2019ve kept down through the years. And we\u2019ve never realized that the time would go this long.

So we\u2019ll just go ahead and take a break, and we will pick up after the offering is taken up.\nAnd on this last day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the very theme of this feast is\u2014The Lord Shall Fight For You. And God is the one Who is going to give salvation. So we are to see the salvation of the Lord. Now let\u2019s understand what happened with the children of Israel before they were released on the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Let\u2019s start back and look at everything that took place just in a summary\u2014what God did to save the children of Israel, or rescue them from Egypt. And also let\u2019s understand something very important concerning this, is that God raised up Pharaoh and all of the evil apparatus with it to show His power, to declare His salvation, to rescue Israel, and so that His name would be glorified in all the earth. And it certainly has because we have it recorded for us, and we preach it every year.\nNow remember the thing that was important. Let\u2019s come back here to Exodus 6 and let\u2019s see something that is very important so we understand\u2026 Actually it\u2019s Exodus 7, so that we understand the office of Moses, and how God was using Moses and Aaron to defeat all the God\u2019s of Egypt. And as we have seen on the Passover night when God struck all the firstborn of the Egyptians, all their animals and all the firstborn of men and beasts, that He judged all the god\u2019s of Israel. And of course the children of Israel didn\u2019t understand that the judgment against all those gods meant that why should they be so foolish as to go to these other gods who were not gods.\nNow here, Exodus 7:1, \u201cAnd the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh\u2026\u201d Now that\u2019s how Pharaoh would look upon him because Pharaoh could not see the true God. That was reserved for Moses. So since Pharaoh was called a god, since Pharaoh was worshipped as god, since they worshipped all the animals and things that they did in Egypt, and worshipped the river Nile all of these plagues came upon them because of that. So there are six signs and there are four plagues that took place. So let\u2019s look at the six signs.\nFirst of all was the rod of Aaron that turned into a serpent. Well, the magicians were able to go ahead and counterfeit that, but the rod of Aaron was able, as a serpent, to eat up the serpents of the magicians.\nThe second sign was, which was pretty powerful. Now remember the Nile was considered the river of the gods, or a god, and they worshipped the water and they worshipped the river. It gave life and all of this sort of thing. So the first thing God did was cause, in the next sign, because Pharaoh hardened his heart, and it was a joint venture. Pharaoh hardened his heart, and God hardened his heart. And God was raising him up for the purpose of the destruction of Egypt. Now God is the one Who can do that because He\u2019s God. So what did He do? For seven days He turned the river into blood.\nThen the third sign was frogs. Now these were the gigantic frogs that come out of the Nile river, and they just filled the whole land. And when that sign was over they just put them in heaps and it stank.\nFourth sign\u2014dust turns into fleas and lice and just covered all the animals, covered all the human beings, you see. And the whole lesson in all of this is: no one has the power to fight against God. And if God be for us, as we\u2019re going to see, who can be against us? Now let\u2019s think on that as we\u2019re going through this.\nSo after that, still Pharaoh hardened his heart so then we have the swarms of flies. Nice big flies going everywhere. However, number five is the sign of grace, and in the land of Goshen where the children of Israel were there were no swarms of flies. So God separated it.\nThe sixth sign was murrain caused by the ash. Moses took some ash and threw it in the air. God caused it to go everywhere throughout all the land of Egypt and they had boils from the top of their head to the foot of their soul. All the animals, all the horses, camels, oxen, all human beings. Well, Pharaoh called \u201cuncle\u201d on this and so he recanted a little bit. And so he asked Moses if he would cause it to go away. So he said, ok, he would. And then Pharaoh hardened his heart again all the way through. Now here come the four plagues.\nThe first plague was hail. Now for it to hail in Egypt is an unreal thing because that\u2019s right in the desert. And it had never done this from the creation of the world, or since Egypt was a nation. And there was thunder and lightening and all of this going on at the same time they had the plague of hail.\nWell then after that came the plague of locusts. Locusts everywhere and ate everything that was not in a container. And that wasn\u2019t good enough, they still didn\u2019t repent, so there was the plague of darkness. Darkness so thick that they could feel it. And it was so oppressive that the only thing that they could do was stay in bed. Now all the Israelites had light but the darkness covered Egypt.\nNow the fourth one, as we have seen, is the important one. This is where then God passed over the houses of the children of Israel and spared their firstborn, executed judgment against all the gods of Egypt, and killed all the firstborn of the Egyptian children. After that they let them go. So the children of Israel went out with a high hand. And of course, God did not take them the easy way. And here\u2019s a lesson that\u2019s important for us: God doesn\u2019t take us the easy way. There are some hard things for us to do. And so if you are a goodtime Christian and you\u2019re just a gladhander, and you are a social creature, and you attend church because it\u2019s just nice and wonderful and comfy and all your friends are there, know for sure you\u2019re going to have a trial that\u2019s going to come to test you, to see whether you love God with all your heart, and mind, and soul, and being, and whether you really trust Him. That\u2019s the whole lesson of the last day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread.\nNow let\u2019s come to Exodus 14 because we see the whole lesson here. And this is the way God led them, instead of by the way of the Philistines going on over to the holy land, which would have been easy because that just follows right along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea and they would be there in a few days. Well God had other plans in mind. So He took them down by the way of the Red Sea and they were encamped along the Red Sea\u2014big long line of the children of Israel. And the Egyptians then had second thoughts about letting them go. So they said, \u201cWell, look we don\u2019t have any slaves. We can\u2019t do these things.\u201d So Pharaoh said, \u201cI know what I\u2019ll do. I\u2019ll get all my armies, I\u2019ll get all my chariots and we\u2019ll go get them and we\u2019ll bring them back. And so when the children of Israel saw that they became afraid. Well God intervened and He put a cloud wall between the Egyptians and the children of Israel. To the Egyptians it was dark, to the children of Israel it was light. And so let\u2019s pick it up here in Exodus 14. Let\u2019s see the reaction of the children of Israel, because herein is a great lesson for us, see. You have to trust God in the tough times as well as the good times.\nVerse 10, \u201cAnd when Pharaoh drew nigh\u2026.\u201d Now we can also draw the analogy of Pharaoh and his armies as Satan and the demons. That\u2019s true. We can also look at it as the world coming after us. That is true. But what we\u2019re interested in is the reaction of the children of Israel. \u201cAnd when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto the LORD. And they said unto Moses\u2026\u201d (Ex. 14:1011). Immediately begin complaining. Immediately begin accusing. Immediately displaying absolutely no faith. Now the reason I went over the six signs and the four plagues was to show what God had done and the power that God had used to cause the children of Israel to be extracted from the land of Egypt. Now you would think that they would have said, \u201cOh look at all that God has done for us. Now these Egyptians, God took care of them in Egypt so let\u2019s just trust Him to do it now.\u201d That\u2019s not what they did. Let\u2019s notice it.\n\u201cAnd they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt [in other words there was plenty of room for graves there], hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? Wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt? Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness\u201d (vs. 11-12). Well that\u2019s not what they said. They cried to God and said, \u201cOh God, get us out of this slavery.\u201d Now what were they doing? They were looking back and comparing what they thought was how good they had\u2014everything in Egypt. It\u2019s just like people when they first come into the church and the first trial comes along, they say they\u2019ve never experienced anything like this before they were converted. There must be something wrong. No, there is nothing wrong. That\u2019s the way it is. And here\u2019s the reason for it, and here\u2019s why we go through these things.\nNow verse 13, \u201cAnd Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD\u2026\u201d And that\u2019s what we need to do. We need to stand. Stand for the Word of God, stand for God, stand against evil, stand against human nature, stand against all the forces that are against us and to realize that with the power of the Holy Spirit we can do it, with the conviction of God, God will fight for us. Now then he says, \u201c\u2026see the salvation of the LORD, which He will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. The LORD shall fight for you\u2026\u201d (vs. 13-14). Now I want you to mark that. I want you to understand this: the Lord shall fight for you and you shall hold your peace. In other words don\u2019t complain to God. Ask God to intervene and help you. Ask God to intervene and change the circumstances. Ask God to intervene and fight your battles for you because He has more power than you do. So you\u2019ve got to trust God. Now God will do many great and fantastic things to fight your battles for you, but you have to place it all in God\u2019s hands, just like it is here: stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, and don\u2019t complain, and don\u2019t gripe, and don\u2019t whine. Let the peace of God rule in your heart, as we covered on the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, you see.\nSo the Lord said, \u201c\u2026Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward\u2026\u201d (vs. 15). And that\u2019s the whole key for the Feast of Unleavened Bread\u2014that we go forward in spite of everything and anything that comes along. That we know God, we love God, we understand His Word, we live by it and we go forward. So you know the rest of the story of what happened there. God told Moses, \u201cTake your rod, hold it over the sea. And that night He caused a tremendous east wind to blow, and He also parted the waters a great distance, probably a place as much as ten miles wide, and then all of the children of Israel, in the morning watch just before the sun came up, they all crossed the Red Sea at the same time. A divine miracle. God intervening and showing them His power. And of course you know what happened to the Egyptians. They came up there and they looked to the right, and they looked to the left, and they said, \u201cGo.\u201d And right when he got in the middle of where the sea was going to be God had the angels start taking the wheels off their chariots and they drug heavy, the ground then became mud, and then all of a sudden the waters came crashing back, and that was the end of the Egyptians. Just like God had said. Well now the children of Israel were very happy, but you see, let\u2019s look at what they said. This is really a tremendous lesson for us.\nSo here\u2019s what they did, Exodus 15:1. \u201cThen sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for He hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath He thrown into the sea.\u201d Now notice verse 2, \u201cThe LORD is my strength and song, and He is become my salvation: He is my God, and I will prepare Him an habitation; my father\u2019s God, and I will exalt Him. The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is His name\u201d (Ex. 15:1-3). So you see, that\u2019s what we need to look at. If you have a problem that needs to be overcome, take it to God. If you have a complaint against God, go repent and ask Him to intervene and help you. If you have a situation that is greater than you can handle, ask God to handle it for you. Let Him fight your battles, but you put it all in His hands and realize that that\u2019s the way that it has to be.\nNow all the way down through history, as we find in the Bible, we see the salvation of God, the power of God, the intervention of God. Some in great and fantastic things. Some in small and little things. Now the first great thing that happened was the flood, and God saved all mankind through Noah because Noah walked with God and kept His commandments and he found grace. So God had to destroy the whole world\u2014everything there.\nNow then after that, during the days of Abraham we have the story of Lot. Now Lot was actually what you would call, though he was righteous, he was weak in the faith. And he was confronted with many situations that we are being confronted with now, the onslaught of the homosexuals. Who knows, they probably had homosexual marriages in Sodom and Gomorrah, and all the people thought that that was a great thing. But if it weren\u2019t for Abraham, Lot would not have survived. But Abraham intervened and Lot survived. And you know what happened to Sodom and Gomorrah. And of course then, the one who had the lack of faith and didn\u2019t follow was his wife. And the angel said, \u201cDon\u2019t look back.\u201d That\u2019s an important lesson because Jesus said later, \u201cRemember Lot\u2019s wife.\u201d So we\u2019re not to look back. But nevertheless Lot was saved.\nThen we have with the children of Israel all the miracles that took place while they were going through the wilderness, and everything that God did. The miracle of the manna every morning. God took care of them, blessed them, watched over them. The water out of the rock. Oh but they didn\u2019t want to follow God so they rebelled. They didn\u2019t believe God after all that so then God had to punish them for their rebellion and it took another 38 \u00bd years of wandering in the wilderness, so everyone over 20 died, except for Caleb and Joshua. Then they went into the Promised Land and God fought their battles for them when they did what God said. When they didn\u2019t do what God said, He didn\u2019t fight for them. They moaned and groaned and complained to God. \u201cOh why can\u2019t we overcome our enemies?\u201d Well, it was because some were stealing the gold which belonged to God. So the whole history of going through the Bible shows how God will fight for you if you believe Him. God will fight for you if you trust in Him.\nNow let\u2019s come to Psalm 18 and let\u2019s see a Psalm dedicated to that. David\u2019s Psalm. Quite a Psalm. We\u2019re going to look at several Psalms in here because this shows how God intervenes to help, to fight, to save on behalf of those that He loves. Here let\u2019s notice, Psalm 18. Now this was after one of the great deliverances of God. Psalm 18:1, \u201cI will love Thee, O LORD, my strength.\u201d See, our whole relationship with God is based on the love of God, as we saw on the Sabbath during this feast. So he says, \u201cI will love Thee, O LORD, my strength.\u201d Are you weak? That\u2019s where you get strength from. \u201cThe LORD is my rock, and my fortress\u2026\u201d Now we can think what Jesus said there in Matthew 7. We are to build our house upon a Rock (Matt. 7:24), aren\u2019t we? And 1 Corinthians 10 says that Rock is Christ (1 Cor. 10:4). He\u2019s our Rock. \u201c\u2026My fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower\u201d (Psalm 18:1-2). And if you\u2019re in a high tower no one can get at you, can they? No. So that\u2019s why he said that.\nNow notice verse 3, \u201cI will call upon the LORD\u2026\u201d That\u2019s how God will intervene for you. You have to love Him, praise Him, worship Him, call upon Him, you have to trust in Him, you have to look to Him to be your salvation, your savior, the warrior, the fighter. He\u2019s going to fight your battles for you. Now we\u2019re going to see some more of these things as we go along.\nVerse 3, \u201cI will call upon the LORD, Who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. The sorrows of death compassed me\u2026\u201d Now how close was he to tragedy in the end? Right at the brink. \u201c\u2026And the floods of ungodly men made me afraid. The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me. In my distress I called upon the LORD\u2026\u201d So we\u2019re going to have times when we have distress. Now remember, David was a man after God\u2019s heart. \u201cIn my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: He heard my voice out of His temple, and my cry came before Him, even into His ears\u201d (vs. 3-6).\nNow let\u2019s go back and let\u2019s see another Psalm here. Let\u2019s come to Psalm 12:1. This is pretty much the situation that we find ourselves in, in the world today. Verse 1, \u201cHelp\u2026\u201d That\u2019s how this one starts out. You know\u2014\u201cHelp, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth\u2026\u201d Where\u2019s someone who\u2019s godly? There aren\u2019t any. \u201c\u2026For the faithful fail from among the children of men. They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.\u201d And that\u2019s just the way this world is. It\u2019s just nothing but lies and doublespeak. \u201cThe LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things: who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?\u201d (Psa. 12:1-4). Perfect description of this society, isn\u2019t it? Anything goes. If we don\u2019t like a law, we\u2019ll change it. Just like up in San Francisco, they\u2019ve been marrying thousands of same sex, so called couples, in defiance against the law. But they don\u2019t think they are breaking the law. But when Judge Roy Moore defied a federal judge and his ungodly illegal order to get rid of the Ten Commandments monument, they said he ought to obey the law of the land. See, and that\u2019s just the way that it is in the world.\nVerse 5, \u201cFor the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD [God is going to take action sooner or later]; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.\u201d Let\u2019s come down here to verse 8, \u201cThe wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted\u201d (vs. 5, 8). And that is a perfect description of our political system.\nNow, let\u2019s again see how we are to pray when we are in trouble. See, instead of complaining to other people, accusing the ministers, accusing other brethren\u2014go repent. Ask God to help you, ask God to fight your battles. Psalm 4:1, \u201cHear me when I call [He will], O God of my righteousness: Thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer. O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn My glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity\u2026\u201d That\u2019s just the way it is in the world. Love the vanity, love the lies. Verse 3, \u201cBut know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for Himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto Him.\u201d God will hear. We can be guaranteed of that. Now verse 4, Now you see, when people get discouraged and get distressed and get down and begin to give up, they give in to their weaknesses and sin. That\u2019s why it says, \u201cStand in awe, and sin not\u2026\u201d (Psa. 4:1-4). So God will hear our prayers.\nLet\u2019s come to Psalm 37. This is one to keep in mind. This is really a good Psalm. Ok now here, Psalm 37. This is good counsel and advice for us, that\u2019s why it\u2019s here. You look out and you see the world and all the things that are wrong, all the sin that is going wrong, and somehow they seem to be getting along better\u2014but they\u2019re really not.\nNow then, Psalm 37:1, good advice. \u201cFret not thyself [in other words don\u2019t be frustrated] because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. Trust in the LORD\u2026\u201d Now that\u2019s where we need to put our trust. Not in other human beings, not in circumstances, not in physical things, but trust in the Lord. \u201c\u2026And do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the LORD\u2026\u201d So this shows that you\u2019re happy, that you\u2019re joyful, that you understand that Christ has saved you, that you understand that you have the Holy Spirit of God in you, you understand that God the Father has begotten you so that you, at the resurrection, can become a son or daughter of God. Look, you have eternal life ahead of you. That\u2019s what\u2019s important, you see. So, \u201cDelight thyself also in the LORD\u2026\u201d Now notice, \u201c\u2026and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart\u201d (Psa. 37:1-4). Of course according to His will. And the greatest desire of our heart needs to be that we are going to be in the kingdom of God. The greatest desire that we ought to have is to, as the Psalm said, to see God; and as Revelation says, face to face, and to be there in that resurrection.\nNow here\u2019s how you do it, verse 5. Of course you do this through prayer, you do this through study, you do this through everything that you do. Everything that you do, see. Not just when, as some people would look at it, not just when you get religious and pray\u2014but your whole life and everything you do. See verse 5 says, \u201cCommit thy way unto the LORD [everything you do]; trust also in Him; and He shall bring it to pass.\u201d Now this means concerning health, concerning healing. Of course we have our parts to do. Concerning employment, concerning marriage, concerning whatever your life is involved in. Commit yourself unto the Lord, trust in Him, and He shall give you the desires of your heart. He shall bring it to pass.\nVerse 6, \u201cAnd He shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him\u2026\u201d See, because God\u2019s timetable is always different than our timetable, so we have to wait patiently for Him. \u201c\u2026Fret not thyself [that is, don\u2019t become frustrated, worried, or concerned] because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil\u201d (vs. 6-8). Because you see, that\u2019s what people do. They\u2019re not trusting in God in the way they ought to be. They\u2019re not patient waiting for the Lord, so something happens and they get all angry. Well you see, that\u2019s why you had the trial, so that you can get rid of your anger and see and know and understand that you have it.\nVerse 27, \u201cDepart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.\u201d And that\u2019s what the whole Feast of Unleavened Bread is all about, isn\u2019t it? Put out the leaven, which is sin. Put in the unleaven, which is righteousness. Put out the way of man and put in the way of Christ. That\u2019s why Christ said, \u201cYou have to eat My flesh and drink My blood\u201d showing that you will live by Him, which means by every Word of God. So, \u201cDepart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore. For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not His saints\u2026\u201d So if you ever think you\u2019ve been forsaken\u2014you haven\u2019t, and you need to go repent of that and ask God to help you to trust in Him. \u201c\u2026They are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off. The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever\u201d (vs. 27-29). That means the kingdom of God and all the earth and everything that is there.\nVerse 34, \u201cWait on the LORD, and keep His way\u2026\u201d Now isn\u2019t that the message of the last day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, that we first went through in Exodus 14? Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord. \u201cWait on the LORD, and keep His way [never give up on doing it], and He shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when\u2026\u201d So there is a timing in all of this. There is a time. Now the kingdom of God is not here, therefore we don\u2019t fight. But when we come back with Christ we are going to fight, and we are going to be in charge of putting away all evil. Now they will either repent or they will be \u201chistoi.\u201d \u201c\u2026When the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it. I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree. Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.\u201d Very important\u2014verse 37, \u201cMark the perfect man\u2026\u201d Now as we have seen, if you are in Christ, which you are, and God has imputed the righteousness of Christ to you and you stand before Him holy and blameless, before God you are perfect. Now you have to then be perfected in attitude, be perfected in character, and it\u2019s an ongoing project as we have seen. \u201c\u2026And behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace. But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off\u201d (vs. 34-38). And the finality of that is going to be with the last part of the Last Great Day when all the wicked are cast into the lake of fire and there are no more wicked around.\nVerse 39, \u201cBut the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: He is their strength in the time of trouble.\u201d That\u2019s why we need to trust God. Now we\u2019re going to see some other things how God intervenes, because He\u2019s really performed some great and tremendous things. \u201cAnd the LORD shall help them and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him\u201d (vs. 39-40). Do you trust in God? That\u2019s all a part of the Feast of Unleavened Bread\u2014that you get rid of the sin of doubt, you get rid of the sin of lack of trust. But you trust God, you believe God, you walk in His way in everything that you do.\nNow let\u2019s come to 2 Chronicles 20 and let\u2019s see how God intervened in great and fantastic ways to save those who feared God and trusted Him, and looked to Him to fight their battles. Now this is the case of King Jehoshaphat. He had a great army. The children of Moab and Ammon, and the Assyrians were all coming against him to destroy him, and destroy Judah. Now notice what he did. 2 Chronicles 20:3, \u201cAnd Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the LORD, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.\u201d So you see, when you have trouble and difficulty you need to fast and draw close to God, ask for His help, ask for His intervention. So he called them all together for a prayer. And then he got the answer from one of the prophets of God. A Levite came who was one of the sons of Asaph.\nNow verse 15, and here\u2019s the message, \u201cAnd he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God\u2019s.\u201d Now that\u2019s what we need to understand\u2014the battle is not ours but it is God\u2019s, so we trust in Him in faith.\nSo verse 17, \u201cYe shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD\u2026\u201d Now that sounds just like Exodus 14, doesn\u2019t it? Yes. \u201c\u2026O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you.\u201d\nNow verse 20, so here\u2019s what they did on the morrow. \u201cAnd they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe His prophets, so shall ye prosper.\u201d Profound and important message. We are to believe and trust, and have faith and confidence, and lay it all before God just like Jehoshaphat did here. \u201cAnd when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endureth for ever.\u201d So here the priests went out first before the army, and that\u2019s the way God said they should fight their battles\u2014and God was with them.\n\u201cAnd when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten\u201d (vs. 22). So what God did, He just turned them all against each other and they killed each other, and what did they do? They went out there and they found that they were all dead. So what did they do? Verse 25, \u201cAnd when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away the spoil of them, they found among them in abundance both riches with the dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in gathering of the spoil, it was so much.\u201d Now that was a tremendous battle, wasn\u2019t it? God intervened, gave them the blessing. God fought for them. Now if God could do it for them we know God can do it for us. So regardless of what the situation is, regardless of what the trouble may be, God is there, He will help just like this. Now we\u2019re going to look at another example here in a minute and see how God intervened to fight and to save His people.\nNow let\u2019s see another example of how God intervened for king Hezekiah. And what he did when he got the notice from the Assyrians that they were coming and conquering, and that they had destroyed all the nations coming right on down the line. And they sent a letter to Hezekiah, \u201cNow you surrender or we\u2019re going to do to you like we did to all these other nations and their gods.\u201d So here, 2 Kings 19:1, \u201cAnd it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it [that is, heard the letter read], that he rent his clothes [that means he ripped his clothes], and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the LORD.\u201d And he said in verse 3, \u201cAnd they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and blasphemy: for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.\u201d Now sometimes you feel like that. So that\u2019s what Hezekiah did. He took it before God.\nLet\u2019s come over here to verse 14. \u201cAnd Hezekiah received the letter of the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up into the house of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD.\u201d Took his troubles right to God\u2014very first thing. He didn\u2019t stop and ask anyone else\u2019s advice. He went right to the Lord. \u201cAnd Hezekiah prayed before the LORD, and said, O LORD God of Israel, which dwellest between the cherubims, Thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth: Thou hast made heaven and earth. LORD, bow down Thine ear, and hear: open, LORD, Thine eyes, and see: and hear the words of Sennacherib, which hath sent him to reproach the living God\u201d (vs. 14-16). Then he said, \u201cOf a truth, LORD, he did conquer all of them.\u201d\nHe says here, verse 19, \u201cNow therefore, O LORD our God, I beseech Thee, save Thou us out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that Thou art the LORD God, even Thou only.\u201d This is a perfect example of how we need to go to God with our problems. You go to God and you state the problems. You don\u2019t accuse Him, but you glorify Him. You don\u2019t complain to Him, but you show what the problem is, and you ask God to fight because you are His. You belong to Him. You are His property. He\u2019s promised to take care of you.\nSo that\u2019s exactly what happened. He got the message, \u201cI will defend this city for David, My servants sake\u201d (vs. 34, paraphrased). Now verse 35. Here\u2019s what God did. Even greater miracle than what happened there with Jehoshaphat. \u201cAnd it came to pass that night, that the angel of the LORD went out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and five thousand [185,000 were slain by the angel]: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.\u201d In other words He spared the king and probably a few of his advisors, but all of his army was dead. \u201cSo Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh\u201d (vs. 34-36). And of course as he was worshipping in the house of his god, someone came in and assassinated him. Well now, question: did this take care of the enemy? It sure did. Did they have to lift the sword to fight? No, they didn\u2019t, but they trusted in God. Perfect example of what we need to do.\nNow let\u2019s come to the New Testament and let\u2019s see some things here that are important for us to understand so that we can realize how then we need to look to God. Now we have to overcome self, we have to overcome the sins in us. And let\u2019s understand what kind of determination that we need to have, and what kind of faith that we need to have. Now let\u2019s come to Hebrews 12 and let\u2019s see what the apostle Paul wrote to the Hebrews telling them what they need to do to overcome and change, and what kind of resolve that they need to have in serving God.\nNow after the apostle Paul had listed out many of the things that where God fought for the children of Israel, coming on down through the faith chapter and Chapter 11, we come to Chapter 12 and Paul writes: \u201cTherefore, since we are surrounded by such a great throng of witnesses\u2026\u201d That\u2019s what the Old Testament is there for. These are examples that we can look to, to see the examples of right and wrong, and good and evil. The examples of God intervening and fighting our battles for us. These are the examples that we need to look to. So here\u2019s what Paul writes, \u201c\u2026let us lay aside every weight\u2026\u201d Every problem, every difficulty\u2014set it aside. You see, God does not want us to dwell on the problem. He wants us to dwell on Him and the solution. So you set it aside. \u201c\u2026And the sin that so easily entraps us\u2026\u201d You repent of that. We\u2019ve already covered how you do that. Confess your sins to God. \u201c\u2026And let us run the race set before us with endurance\u2026\u201d (Heb. 12:1). That\u2019s what we need to do. We have got to finish the course.\nHere\u2019s how to do it, verse 2, \u201cHaving our minds fixed on Jesus, the Beginner and Finisher of our faith; Who for the joy that lay ahead of Him endured the cross, although He despised the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.\u201d That\u2019s what we need to do. Always have our mind on Christ. Always have our minds on what He did, how He did it, why He did it. And He did it because He loved us. God the Father sent Jesus Christ because He loves the world and loves us, and we are part of the eternal plan of God. So Paul writes, \u201cNow meditate deeply on Him Who endured such great hostility of sinners against Himself\u2026\u201d That\u2019s why we need to study the Gospels. That\u2019s why we need to understand what Jesus did and what He went through. Here\u2019s the reason, \u201c\u2026so that you do not become weary and faint in your minds\u201d (vs. 2-3).\nNow there is a proverb which says that if you faint in the day of your adversity, you have very little strength. See, so who is our strength? Christ. Who is our Savior? Christ. Who is our redeemer? Christ. Who is there to fight our battles for us? Christ is. And as we have seen He also has the angels to do His work for him too, doesn\u2019t He? Yes, indeed. See, now this is why.\nNow verse 4 becomes very important. And in all the struggles and difficulties that we have gone through, verse 4 is very profound. \u201cYou have not yet resisted to the point of losing blood in your struggle against sin.\u201d I\u2019ve never anointed anyone for bleeding because they\u2019ve been fighting against sin. What does this show? This shows the effort and determination and steadfastness that we need to have in serving and loving God and in overcoming. And we do it by fixing our mind on Christ. And don\u2019t get discouraged and don\u2019t get down because God is doing this for a tremendous and wonderful purpose.\nVerse 5, \u201cAnd you have already forgotten the admonition that He addresses to you as to sons: \u201cMy son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord, nor grow weary of being reproved by Him; For whom the Lord loves He chastens, and He severely disciplines every son whom He receives\u201d (vs. 5-6). That\u2019s why, see. God didn\u2019t call us to have good perfect lives in the flesh. If you want to join a social club, go to a social club. If you want to go to where everything is smooth and nice, I don\u2019t really think you can find any place on the face of the earth today that\u2019s like that, can you? No, and times are getting difficult and harder, and harder to come by aren\u2019t they? So we need to realize that. And God is helping us to develop the character, as we saw just last Sabbath, to have the faith and virtue and character, and eventually come to the point of having the very love of God perfected in us. That\u2019s what God is doing. So yes, there is going to be some correction. Yes, there are going to be some things that change and come along here. Yes indeed, because that\u2019s just the way it\u2019s going to be.\nNow let\u2019s look at some other things here\u2014the reason for all the trials. Let\u2019s come here to 1 Peter 5 and let\u2019s see what Peter says about this, and why we go through these things. And he also shows that a great deal of it, yes a great deal of what we go through is because we\u2019re fighting Satan the devil, as well as self, as well as sin, as well as the world. So we\u2019ve got a big battle out there and the way we do it is keep our minds fixed and focused on Jesus Christ, that we know what\u2019s in the Gospels, we know what\u2019s in the Epistles of Paul, we know what\u2019s in the General Epistles, that we live by every Word of God\u2014that\u2019s what\u2019s the important thing for us to realize and understand.\nNow let\u2019s come here to 1 Peter 5. Now let\u2019s pick it up here in verse 5. \u201cIn the same manner, you younger men be subject to the older men; and all of you be subject to one another, being clothed with humility\u2026\u201d That\u2019s the whole purpose of it. \u201c\u2026Because God sets Himself against the proud, but He gives grace to the humble. Be humbled therefore under the mighty hand of God so that He may exalt you in due time; casting all your cares upon Him, because He cares for you\u201d (1 Peter 5:5-7). Now here\u2019s a great mistake a lot of people do. They get worried, they get frustrated, they get upset, and they pace back and forth and they wonder what they\u2019re going to do. But they haven\u2019t cast all their cares upon God, see. So rather than worry and fret and stew and wonder\u2014go pray. Lay it all before God. Cast all your cares upon Him because He cares for you. He has called you. He loves you. He wants you in His kingdom. He wants you to succeed and grow and overcome, and He will give you the strength and the power and perform the work for you if you trust in Him and rely upon Him. It\u2019s like it said where we started, \u201cStand still and see the salvation of the Lord, and go forward.\u201d Don\u2019t be discouraged, don\u2019t be down, don\u2019t let anything, anything take you away from Christ.\nNow here\u2019s the reason for it. Verse 8, \u201cBe sober!\u201d Now that means don\u2019t get involved with the spiritual drunkenness of this world. \u201cBe vigilant!\u201d That\u2019s why we have the Feast of Unleavened Bread come along so that it reminds us every year we need to be vigilant. That means on watch, on guard. \u201cFor your adversary the devil is prowling about as a roaring lion, seeking anyone he may devour.\u201d Yes, we\u2019re going to have battles against Satan, and he\u2019s going to come after the people of God. That\u2019s just all part of the situation the way that the reality of it truly is. Now here\u2019s how we fight him, verse 9, \u201cWhom resist, steadfast in the faith\u2026\u201d Not wavering back and forth, as James said, and be doubleminded man and unstable as water. Steadfast in the faith. \u201c\u2026Knowing that the same afflictions are being fulfilled among your brethren who are in the world\u201d (vs. 8-9). And don\u2019t think that any trial you\u2019re going through is some sort of strange thing that has come upon you. Everyone has them. And you have them, so you take them to God.\nNow here\u2019s a promise. And you claim this promise. When you\u2019re going through a trial, ask God to help you understand it, ask God to help you learn the lesson, ask God to help you fully comprehend what is going on so that you can take that and make it part of your life and character of the very lesson that you\u2019re going to learn. And then claim this promise, verse 10, \u201cNow may the God of all grace, Who has called us unto His eternal glory in Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little while, Himself perfect you [so God is perfecting you \u2014individually], establish, strengthen, and settle you.\u201d That\u2019s the purpose of the trials and the difficulties that we go through, so that we can let God fight our battles for us. Then he says, \u201cTo Him be the glory and the power into the ages of eternity. Amen\u201d (vs. 10-11). So that\u2019s the way we unleaven our lives in Christ, by Christ in us, by growing, by overcoming, by looking to God to fight our battles for us so that we can realize that we are called unto eternal glory. And keeping our minds fixed and focused on Jesus Christ.\nNow let\u2019s look at some other things here which are important for us to realize. Let\u2019s come here to Ephesians 6. Since this talks about fighting against Satan the devil let\u2019s come to Ephesians 6 and let\u2019s see what we need to do\u2014the very spiritual preparation. Let me tell you this. If you\u2019re not praying, if you\u2019re not studying, if you\u2019re not living by every Word of God when a trial comes upon you it\u2019s going to hit you like a blockbuster. And you are not going to know what to do because you\u2019re weak spiritually, you\u2019re weak mentally, you\u2019re weak physically. All of those things go hand in hand. And so when they come, you\u2019re overwhelmed and you get discouraged. Now here\u2019s what we need to do. We need to be strong in the power God.\nEphesians 6:10. Satan is out there after us like a roaring lion, as we saw. And he is clever and slick and has all kinds of devices to try and entrap and even deceive the very elect. So when we have problems and difficulties to come by, do exactly like Moses told the children of Israel\u2014\u201cHold your peace, stand still, see the salvation of the LORD and go forward.\u201d And the obvious implication is: not backward into Egypt.\nNow Ephesians 6:10, \u201cFinally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord\u2026\u201d And that comes with patient study, prayer, walking in every way of God, living your life the way that God wants you to do it. That\u2019s how you\u2019re strong in the Lord \u201c\u2026and in the might of His strength\u201d because He is going to fight for us. \u201cPut on the whole armor of God\u2026\u201d So not only is God going to fight for us but we have our part. \u201cPut on the whole armor of God so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil because we are not wrestling against flesh and blood, but against principalities and against powers, against the world rulers of the darkness of this age, against the spiritual power of wickedness in high places\u201d (Eph. 6:10-12). And we see that more so in this age now. There\u2019s just an acceleration of evil everywhere. And that is deliberate, and let\u2019s understand something. Let\u2019s just be frank\u2014we ain\u2019t seen nothing yet because Satan and his forces and troops are out there to destroy every vestige of Christianity that they can through any means that they can. And those are all part of the wiles of the devil, and we\u2019re fighting against those wicked spirits in high places.\nVerse 13, \u201cTherefore, take up the whole armor of God so that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having worked out all things, to stand.\u201d Just like Moses said, \u201cStand still and see the salvation of God.\u201d Verse 14, \u201cStand therefore, having your loins girded about with truth\u2026\u201d And that is the Word of God, which is true. \u201c\u2026And wearing the breastplate of righteousness, and having your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace. Besides all these, take up the shield of the faith, with which you will have the power to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one\u2026\u201d (vs. 13-16). Because he\u2019s there just trying to lob them in. Missiles of lust, if we could put it that way. Because, as it says there in Chapter 2, he is the prince of the power of the air, he is the one who comes along to tempt and to induce into sin. He is there. If there\u2019s any one thing Satan would like you to do is get discouraged and down and come to the point that you\u2019re going to give up on God because you have a trial that you\u2019re going through. Well now, you can\u2019t let that happen.\nVerse 17, \u201cAnd put on the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God\u2026\u201d See, so it shows an active, growing, overcoming, praying, trusting in God, focusing on Christ. Verse 18, \u201c\u2026Praying at all times\u2026\u201d That you pray every day, that you pray many times during the day, just like Paul wrote in 1 Thessalonians 5:17, cease not praying. Not only do you pray and put your life in God\u2019s hands every day when the day begins, but during the day you pray and ask God for help, for wisdom, for truth, for understanding, for bringing into captivity every thought unto Christ and casting down vain imaginations that rise up in your mind against God. And that\u2019s how sin so easily besets us. So it is a continuous daily thing that we do\u2014praying at all times. \u201c\u2026With all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and in this very thing being watchful with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints\u2026\u201d (vs. 17-18). Because brethren, we all need the prayers of everyone. And I know my prayer every day is for all the brethren. For those that need to be healed, those that need to fight their battles, those that need to be raised up, those who are distressed and brokenhearted. Christ came to heal the brokenhearted. Christ came to relieve the distressed. So you turn all of that to Him, you see. He is there. He will help. He will fight. He has promised. It doesn\u2019t depend on your goodness, it doesn\u2019t depend on your righteousness. Oh, you have your part to do, but it depends on Christ because He has promised. And those promises are sure, and those promises are true and good like we\u2019ve already seen and Jesus Christ has promised that He will not ever, never leave us and forsake us. Now that\u2019s something. So we can have the total faith and confidence in what God wants us to do in trusting Him to fight our battles.\nNow let\u2019s come over here to Ephesians 2 again and let\u2019s see this. Let\u2019s again see what we are operating against. Christ has saved us, reached down and saved us, saved us from our sins in this world. Now Ephesians 2:1, \u201cNow you were dead in trespasses and sins\u2026\u201d That\u2019s how we were before God. And God reached down and had mercy on every one of us individually. \u201c\u2026In which you walked in times past according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now working within the children of disobedience\u2026\u201d This is what God has saved us from, that\u2019s why we are not to go back into it. \u201c\u2026Among whom also we all once had our conduct in the lusts of our flesh, doing the things willed by the flesh and by the mind, and were by nature the children of wrath, even as the rest of the world. But God, Who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, has made us alive together with Christ (For you have been saved by grace.)\u201d (Eph. 2:1-5). And that\u2019s through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, through the power of the Holy Spirit, through the Word of God.\nNow notice what we are to do here. Verse 8, \u201cFor by grace you have been saved through faith, and this especially is not of your own selves; it is the gift of God\u2026\u201d And always remember this: you have nothing you didn\u2019t receive. Everything we have is of God. \u201cNot of works, so that no one may boast. For we are His workmanship\u2026\u201d God is creating Himself in you. We are His workmanship, \u201c\u2026created in Christ Jesus\u2026\u201d Because you see, salvation is creation\u2014creating in us the mind of Christ, the love of God, the character of God, all the fruits of the Holy Spirit of love, and joy, and peace, and longsuffering, and faith, and gentleness, and kindness, and goodness, and meekness, and temperance, against such there is no law. That\u2019s what He is creating in us. And we are \u201c\u2026created in Christ Jesus unto the good works that God ordained beforehand in order that we might walk in them\u201d (vs. 8-10). That is the way of the Lord. That is what He has done for us.\nNow let\u2019s come to Romans 8 and let\u2019s understand how we are to look at these things, how we are to look at the world, how we are to look at ourselves, how we are to view the circumstances in which we find ourselves and what God is going to do for us. Now let\u2019s pick it up here in verse 9. We\u2019ll cover a good deal of Romans 8 because this is a profound chapter. Romans 8:9, \u201cHowever, you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if the Spirit of God is indeed dwelling within you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.\u201d And that\u2019s the important thing. The Spirit of God. Now as we have seen, if you let that lax and you\u2019re not exercising, then you have to do as Paul said\u2014stir up the Spirit of God that is in you. And that\u2019s what the Feast of Unleavened Bread is all about, as we have seen, to stir up the Spirit of God which is in us, you see.\nNow verse 10, \u201cBut if Christ be within you, the body is indeed dead because of sin\u2026\u201d Because you are baptized. All your sins died with Christ and He died for you. And whenever you confess your sins, you put them in the hands of God. They are covered with the blood of Jesus Christ and His sacrifice, you see. So you\u2019re not living in sin. \u201c\u2026However, the Spirit is life because of righteousness.\u201d Now here is a great and tremendous promise. \u201cNow if the Spirit of Him Who raised Jesus from the dead is dwelling within you, He Who raised Christ from the dead will also quicken your mortal bodies because of His Spirit that dwells within you. So then, brethren, we are not debtors to the flesh, to live according to the flesh\u2026\u201d We\u2019re not to live in the carnal way of this world, \u201c\u2026because if you\u2019re living according to the flesh, you shall die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you shall live\u201d (vs. 10-13). Just like we saw on the first holy day. We are to put to death the deeds of the flesh. We are to put all of that out, and we are to put in Christ. That\u2019s what he\u2019s talking about here. Now if you do that you shall live, and that means to eternal life.\nHere\u2019s the key, verse 14. Never forget this, \u201cFor as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God.\u201d Now let\u2019s understand something very important here. The Spirit of God is not going to force you. The Spirit of God will lead you, but you have to choose to yield to God, and you have to choose to ask God to help you be led of the Spirit of God. \u201cAs many as are led of the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.\u201d Now this is also important for us to understand because Satan, as we have seen, wants to come in and give us a spirit of fear, give us a spirit of doubt, give us a spirit of contention, give us a spirit of argument with God. \u201cNow you have not received a spirit of bondage again unto fear, but you have received the Spirit of sonship, whereby we call out, \u2018Abba, Father.\u2019 The Spirit itself bears witness conjointly with our own spirit, testifying that we are the children of God\u201d (vs. 14-16). That\u2019s what it is brethren, see.\nNow notice, these next few verses are profound. \u201cNow if we are children, we are also heirs\u2014truly, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ\u2026\u201d Now stop and think for a minute. What did Christ inherit? All things. That means the universe. We are joint heirs with Christ. That means we will own part of whatever God gives us of the universe, and He says, \u201cHere, this is yours, but with Christ.\u201d That is a fantastic and tremendous thing that God has called us to. And I think that we can understand more, and more, and more about God; and more, and more about how we need to grow and change and overcome, if we keep that right in the forefront of our minds and be led of the Holy Spirit of God.\nNow notice, here\u2019s a promise\u2014a promise of suffering. \u201c\u2026If indeed we suffer together with Him, so that we may also be glorified together with Him.\u201d Now the apostle Paul was called to suffer more than any other man except Jesus Christ. And he did suffer. And how did he look upon those sufferings? Well, he came to rejoice in them because he understood the end result. And so likewise with us, you see, we need to rejoice in them because we understand the end result. Not be like the children of Israel at the Red Sea who complained against God and the circumstances they were in because they couldn\u2019t see the outcome. They didn\u2019t have faith in God, though He did a miraculous intervention to extract them from the land of Egypt. No, see, we\u2019re going to be glorified together but we have to suffer, see. \u201cFor I reckon that the sufferings of the present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that shall be revealed in us.\u201d Now I want you to understand these next verses here to give us some perspective. \u201cFor the earnest expectation of the creation itself is awaiting the manifestation of the sons of God\u2026\u201d How important are the sons of God? How important is God to you? So important that Jesus Christ gave His life for you and for everyone individually because you see the sacrifice of Christ is applied to each of us individually, continually, standing in the grace of God. And the whole creation is waiting. The world is waiting. Have you ever thought of it this way: the world is waiting for you, and you, and you, and me, and all the sons of God down through history. It\u2019s waiting. It\u2019s needing us because we are the solution in God\u2019s set time, of course. \u201c\u2026Because the creation was subjected to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of Him who subjected it in hope\u2026\u201d And we are part of that hope through Jesus Christ. \u201c\u2026In order that the creation itself might be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. For we know that all the creation is groaning together and travailing together until now\u201d (vs. 17-22). You see, waiting for us.\nNow let\u2019s come down here to verse 28. Let\u2019s understand something that\u2019s important. Let\u2019s realize this, regardless of your circumstances, regardless of the difficulties, regardless of your physical condition, regardless of whether you are young or whether you are old, whether you are rich or whether you are poor, God loves you and has a purpose for you. And everything in your life is going to work out for good. Now let\u2019s read it, verse 28, \u201cAnd we know that all things work together for good to those who love God\u2026\u201d That\u2019s why we\u2019ve covered how important the love of God is. \u201c\u2026To those who are called according to His purpose [and you have been] because those whom He did foreknow [and if you have God\u2019s Spirit in you He has foreknown you], He also predestinated to be conformed to the image of His own Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.\u201d So that\u2019s what our destination is, our predestination. \u201cNow whom He predestinated, these He also called; and whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified\u201d (vs. 28-30). Because you see, God is looking at the finished product in you. He\u2019s not looking at you the way that you are. He\u2019s imputed the righteousness of Christ to you so that you stand before Him blameless and holy, in love. He is looking to you as if you are now glorified. In other words He sees and knows what you will be at the resurrection. Now we\u2019ve received a bit of the glory of God by receiving the Holy Spirit of God. We\u2019ve received a bit of the glory of God by having His Word, which we can know and understand and live by. Absolutely true.\nNow verse 31, \u201cWhat then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?\u201d There is no trouble, there\u2019s no difficulty, there is no battle, there is nothing that can be against us. Now claim that promise through the blood and sacrifice of Jesus Christ. \u201cHe Who did not spare even His own Son, but gave Him up for us all, how shall He not also grant us all things together with Him?\u201d Say, \u201cCome, inherit the kingdom prepared for you by My Father.\u201d \u201cWho shall bring an accusation against the elect of God?\u201d Well, people can. But that has no standing before God. \u201cGod is the one Who justifies. Who is the one that condemns?\u201d See, Satan comes and accuses us day and night before God, but we overcome Him with the blood of Christ, right? Yes, indeed. \u201cIt is Christ Who died, but rather, Who is raised again, Who is even now at the right hand of God\u2026\u201d to fight our battles for us, to give us of His Spirit, to strengthen us, to help us overcome. \u201c\u2026And Who is also making intercession for us. What shall separate us from the love of Christ?\u201d Now think on this. Is there anything that\u2019s going to separate you from the love of God, the love of Christ? See, the reason that we keep the commandments of God and the holy days of God, and the feasts of God is so that we understand this: nothing can separate us from God. \u201cShall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?\u201d (vs. 31-35). None of those things and we\u2019re probably going to face every one of these things in the coming years.\n\u201cAccordingly, it is written, \u201cFor Your sake we are killed all the day long; we are reckoned as sheep for the slaughter. But in all these things [even if that happens] we are more than conquerors through Him Who loved us.\u201d And this is the persuasion we need to come to. This is the attitude that we need. And this is the whole finality of the Feast of Unleavened Bread. \u201cFor I am persuaded\u2026\u201d Are you? Are you fully persuaded \u201c\u2026that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord\u201d (vs. 36-39). That\u2019s the meaning of today. Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, and go forward with the power and the might and strength of God.\nUnleavened Bread\u2014Day 7\nII Chronicles 20:3, 15, 17, 20-22, 25\nII Kings 19:1,3, 14-16, 19, 34-36\nEphesians 2:1-5, 8-10\nRomans 8:9-22, 28-39",

Tuesday night it was announced Mariano Rivera, Edgar Martinez, Mike Mussina, and the late Roy Halladay have been voted into Cooperstown. They'll be joined be Harold Baines and Lee Smith on induction weekend in July. Baines and Smith were voted in by the Today's Game committee earlier this winter.\nRivera's selection is historic. He became the first player ever voted into the Hall of Fame unanimously. All 425 voters named Rivera on their ballot. Here are the highest voting percentages in Hall of Fame history:\nMariano Rivera: 100.0 percent\nKen Griffey Jr.: 99.3 percent\nTom Seaver: 98.8 percent\nNolan Ryan: 98.8 percent\nCal Ripken Jr.: 98.5 percent\nTy Cobb: 98.2 percent\nGeorge Brett: 98.2 percent\nNo other player appeared on at least 98 percent of Hall of Fame ballots. Not Hank Aaron (97.8 percent), not Babe Ruth (95.1 percent), not Willie Mays (94.7 percent), and not Ted Williams (93.4 percent). I can't imagine the mental gymnastics that went into not voting for those four inner-circle greats.\nNow that there's been a breakthrough and we have our first unanimous Hall of Famer, I think it's only a matter of time until we see another one. It won't be an annual occurrence, of course, but the BBWAA voting body is getting younger and the idea that if so and so was not a unanimous Hall of Famer, no one should be a unanimous Hall of Famer, is fading away.\nWith Rivera gaining unanimous induction, this is as good a time as any to look ahead and figure out who could be the next unanimous Hall of Famer. I suspect it'll happen sooner than many baseball fans may think. Let's look at upcoming Hall of Fame classes and then active players.\nCould Mariano Rivera's former teammate be the next unanimous Hall of Famer? USATSI\nDerek Jeter: There are several big name players set to join the Hall of Fame ballot next year. Jeter is by far the biggest and I think his chances of being unanimous are pretty darn good, relatively speaking. He is sixth on the all-time hits list (3,465) and sixth all-time in WAR among shortstops. Add in five World Series rings and the fact he is a legacy Yankee, and Jeter is a slam dunk first-ballot Hall of Famer. Detractors could point to his shoddy defense, I suppose, but it is awfully tough to argue Jeter does not belong in Cooperstown. A unanimous selection is possible. Maybe even likely.\nThere are no clear cut Hall of Famers set to join the ballot in 2021, nevermind a candidate for unanimous induction. The best first-year eligible players in two years will be Tim Hudson and Mark Buehrle. Great players who had great careers, undoubtedly. Are they Hall of Famers though? Are they candidates for unanimous induction? With all due respect, I think the answer is no in both cases.\nDavid Ortiz: With Martinez and Frank Thomas (and Baines) going into Cooperstown in recent years, designated hitters are gaining momentum for the Hall of Fame. Ortiz is on the very, very short list of the best and most accomplished designated hitters in baseball history. He is the position's all-time leader in hits (by 501), home runs (by 216), extra-base hits (by 441), and RBI (by 566). Then there's the three World Series rings and his status as a Red Sox legend. Big Papi is getting into the Hall of Fame on the first ballot, I do believe. The fact Martinez spent 10 years on the ballot leads me to believe Ortiz will not be unanimous, however. Chances are a few voters will hold the \"he was only a designated hitter\" thing against him, plus long-standing performance-enhancing drug suspicions figure to take a bite out of his voting percentage.\nAlex Rodriguez: Take his career at face value and A-Rod is a slam dunk Hall of Famer worthy of unanimous induction. The same is true of Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens though, and they are unlikely to get into Cooperstown at this point because of PED ties. They have three years remaining on the ballot and their support has plateaued. If Bonds and Clemens can't get into the Hall of Fame, I don't think A-Rod has much of a chance. And remember, unlike Bonds and Clemens, Rodriguez admitted to using PEDs and he served a suspension (for separate transgressions). A-Rod is fourth all-time in home runs (696) and 12th all-time in position player WAR (117.8). Even with the BBWAA voting body increasingly willing to overlook PED issues, Rodriguez is going to have a tough time getting into Cooperstown. Unanimous selection is a pipe dream.\nOther players set to join the Hall of Fame ballot in 2022 include Carl Crawford, Prince Fielder, Tim Lincecum, Justin Morneau, Joe Nathan, Jonathan Papelbon, Jimmy Rollins, and Mark Teixeira. I don't see any as serious candidates to be voted into the Hall of Fame unanimously. They are borderline Hall of Fame candidates in general.\nCarlos Beltran: I think Beltran is a Hall of Famer and I think he'll get into Cooperstown eventually. He was one of the top two-way threats of his generation and a postseason legend. Beltran ranks fifth among outfielders in WAR since the mound was lowered 50 years ago, trailing only Bonds, Rickey Henderson, Ken Griffey Jr., and Larry Walker. Walker hasn't come particular close to induction in his nine years on the Hall of Fame ballot but Beltran won't have to contend with the Coors Field stigma. Four years is a long way away and the voting body will change. I think Beltran is an all-time great who will eventually get into Cooperstown. Unanimous selection does seem unlikely to me though. Convincing 400-something voters to agree on something is damn near impossible and, as good as he was, I don't think Beltran can build that consensus.\nBeltran is the only player due to join the ballot in 2023 who merits serious Hall of Fame consideration. John Lackey and Jered Weaver are the other top first-year eligible players joining the ballot in four years.\nAdrian Beltre: Players who retired following the 2018 season will be eligible for the Hall of Fame for the first time in 2024. Beltre is an easy first-ballot selection -- he would instantly become a top-five third baseman in Cooperstown -- given his 3,166 hits, 477 home runs, and otherworldly defense at the hot corner. He is 25th all-time in position player WAR (95.7), just ahead of Wade Boggs (91.4) and just behind Cal Ripken Jr. (95.9). Hall of Famer? That's an easy yes. Unanimous selection? I don't think it's impossible.\nJoe Mauer: It seems to me Mauer is heading for a multi-year stint on the Hall of Fame ballot. My sense is most see him as a borderline candidate even though he was the game's best hitting catcher in the mid-2000s and is still the only American League backstop to win a batting title (he won three). Among players with at least 2,000 plate appearances at the position, Mauer has the highest batting average (.328) and second highest on-base percentage (.408) as a catcher all-time. That said, he caught fewer than 1,000 games and finished his career at first base, where the offensive bar is quite high. I think Mauer will have a difficult time getting into Cooperstown and has close to zero chance at being a unanimous selection.\nChase Utley: Utley doesn't have the impressive counting stat totals (1,885 hits and 259 home runs) and he somehow never finished higher than seventh in the MVP voting, but gosh, what a ballplayer he was. Tough-nosed and incredibly productive on both sides of the ball. Utley was no worse than the second-best second baseman of his generation alongside Robinson Cano, and I get the sense he will get a lot -- a lot -- of stathead support for the Hall of Fame when the time comes. A unanimous selection though? Don't bet on it.\nDavid Wright: Ten years into his career, Wright was on the Hall of Fame track. Then his body started to betray him. He was done as an everyday player by age 31 and will have to settle for being the best position player in Mets history rather than a Hall of Famer. To me, Wright's case is similar to Andruw Jones. Jones was one of the best players in the game during his 20s but was more or less done as an everyday guy at age 31, and the last two years Jones has barely received enough votes to clear the five-percent threshold needed to remain on the ballot. I think Wright will get more Hall of Fame support than Jones, but not enough for induction and not nearly enough that unanimous selection will be a real possibility.\nThe Angels might have two future unanimous Hall of Famers on their roster right now. USATSI\nMiguel Cabrera: Cabrera could retire tomorrow and he would get voted into the Hall of Fame on the first ballot. He's a slam dunk. The only question now is whether he can improve his case enough to be a unanimous selection. He could reach 500 home runs in 2019 (35 away) and 3,000 hits in 2020 (324 away), and he has a chance to become only the third player to retire with a 150 OPS+ or better in the last 50 years. Cabrera's a shoo-in who might only be a few counting stat milestones away from unanimous induction.\nRobinson Cano: Realistically, last year's PED suspension sabotaged Cano's Hall of Fame chances. He's about three years away from 3,000 hits (530 away) and two years away from breaking Jeff Kent's record for home runs as a second baseman (55 away). There are still five years to go on Cano's contract, so he has plenty of time to keep building his Hall of Fame came. No matter what he does from here on out, the PED suspension ensures he won't be a unanimous Hall of Famer. Some voters are too dug in on the subject.\nClayton Kershaw: Although he is only 30, Kershaw has already done enough to earn induction into the Hall of Fame. He is the best pitcher of his generation and he'll be a first-ballot guy. Kershaw is three years away from 200 wins (47 away) and 3,000 strikeouts (725 away), and, at this point, all he's doing is strengthening his Hall of Fame case. He's getting into Cooperstown. Can he do enough to garner unanimous selection? I think so. A World Series ring and another half-decade of dominance would really help his case.\nAlbert Pujols: To me, Pujols has the best shot at being a unanimous Hall of Famer among active players. He's an inner-circle great. He's over 3,000 hits and 600 homers already, and early this season he'll become the fifth player in history with 2,000 RBI (18 away). Pujols has the stats, he has the rings (two), he has the hardware (three MVPs). It's been tough to watch him limp to the finish the last few years, but that shouldn't take away from his greatness. Pujols was a devastating and historically great hitter. I believe he and Jeter have the best shot at being unanimous inductees in the coming years.\nMax Scherzer: It seems it is just now coming into focus that Scherzer is a potential Hall of Famer. Like Kershaw, he is a few years away from 200 wins (41 away) and 3,000 strikeouts (551 away), and Scherzer has been the best right-handed pitcher in baseball the last five-six years now. A case can be made he is the best pitcher in baseball now that Kershaw's dealing with some injuries. Scherzer's still looking for a ring -- I don't consider that a requirement for the Hall of Fame but winning a title wouldn't hurt his case -- but he has three Cy Youngs. I think Scherzer will get into Cooperstown. I also think that, at age 34, there probably isn't enough time for him to make a case that warrants unanimous induction.\nIchiro Suzuki: Yes, Ichiro is still active. He recently signed a new contract with the Mariners and will be active for their season-opening series in Japan in March. Even ignoring what he did in Japan before coming over to MLB, Suzuki has first-ballot Hall of Fame credentials. Over 3,000 hits, a Rookie of the Year and an MVP award (in the same season), 10 All-Star Games and 10 Gold Gloves, and status as a global baseball icon. Ichiro is going to the Hall of Fame. I think his chances of being a unanimous selection are pretty good too. Better than 50/50, I'd say, which is much better that I would've said before Rivera broke through as the first unanimous Hall of Famer this year.\nMike Trout: Clearly, Trout is on the Hall of Fame track. Once he puts in the 10 years of MLB play required to appear on the Hall of Fame ballot -- Trout has played seven full seasons, so he is three years away from officially qualifying for the Hall of Fame ballot -- I think we'll be able to consider him a lock. Wright is a harsh reminder that you need to be great in your 30s, not just your 20s, to garner serious Hall of Fame consideration, but Trout is a special case because he's been so good. We are a long way away from Trout appearing on the Hall of Fame ballot -- even if he retires after putting in the minimum 10 years, Trout is still eight years away from joining the ballot -- and a lot can happen between now and then. Right now I'd say Trout is on track for unanimous induction. His case through age 27 is as good as anyone's.",

Kirk\nPaul Douglas Kennedy loved everything about space. He was fascinated with space exploration, space travel and sci-fi fantasy. Paul grew up in the sixties watching Star Trek, the original TV series, which sparked his imagination about space. He would often quote lines of dialogue from the show. He became a self taught space expert, learning all he could about the subject. His dedication included getting up in the middle of the night to watch the launches live from Cape Canaveral, Florida (now the Kennedy Space Center). He was 17 years old when Neil Armstrong landed on the moon and a highlight for him as an adult, was the opportunity to meet Astronaut Buzz Aldrin. One of his dreams was to travel into space.\nPaul was born May 1, 1952 in Bellingham, Washington. He was one of five children born to Roy and Eleanor Kennedy. He attended Assumption Catholic and Bellingham Public Schools.\nHe served in the Army for 3 years and was stationed in Korea. He was patriotic and grateful for the educational and housing benefits available because of his military service.\nPaul met his wife, Norma, while she was studying at Western Washington University in Bellingham, Washington. They were married for 34 years and 1 day. Paul and Norma have two sons, Matthew P. (Nicole) Kennedy of Minneapolis, Minnesota and Michael S. Kennedy of Battle Ground, Washington. He enjoyed being a grandfather to Lucie and Benno, but missed meeting little Rollo. Paul's sister, Suzanne Jenkins and one brother, Tom Kennedy survive him.\nPaul received his Airframe & Powerplant License and Certificate in Aviation Maintenance Technology from Everett Community College in Everett, Washington. He was on the President's List graduating in 1984.\nPaul worked for Alaska Airlines stationed in Seattle, Washington and Portland, Oregon for 29+ years, retiring on his 62nd birthday. He enjoyed his profession and often visited Air Museums and attended Air Shows while traveling on vacation.\nHe loved space and aviation but his other love was cruising. On a cruise, Paul met an A & P mechanic from Australia who had retired from Quantas Airlines and had cruised the world. They shared many interests including aviation, space, travel and volcanoes. They stayed in touch for many years. Paul had hoped to retire and be a world traveler too.\nPaul spent his final years living in the foothills of Mt. St. Helens. After the 1980 eruption of the Mt. St. Helens, he enjoyed living near the beauty and power of the mountain.\nPaul passed away October 1, 2014 in Battle Ground, Washington after a courageous fight with cancer.\n\"The huge dome of the sky is of all things sensuously perceived the most like infinity. When God made space and worlds that move in space, and clothed our world with air, and gave us such eyes and such imaginations as the those we have, He knew what the sky would mean to us...\" - C.S.

        "raw_content": "Classic City Water\nCombatting water pollution in Athens, Georgia\nWhen precipitation meets the Earth, it has to go somewhere. In Athens, Georgia, rainfall that cannot penetrate hard surfaces generates runoff that eventually flows into storm drains and empties into the rivers that provide drinking water for the county. During the journey of this water from initial ground contact to final output in local waterways, pollutants and toxins are picked up along the way, most of which can be traced back to human action.\n\u0093The traditional way of dealing with stormwater does not treat it.\u0094\n\u2014 Katie Hill, legal associate at the University of Georgia River Basin Center\nHill explained that the water from rainfall that ends up back in local streams and rivers often contains litter, oil, sediment and pet waste that it comes into contact with while traveling over impervious surfaces like parking lots, driveways, sidewalks and roads. These unwanted additions to the water are not filtered out through storm drains, but rather empty directly into the water supply, causing harm to aquatic life and habitats.\nTo combat these pollutants entering the local water supply and doing more damage, specific attention by the county government and the University of Georgia is placed on maintaining healthy watersheds, areas of land where water falls and drains off into an outlet.\n\u201cAnything that is happening on land within watersheds impacts water quality because it all runs off to the common outlet,\u201d Tyra Byers, program coordinator at the University of Georgia Office of Sustainability, said. \u201cWe look in those basins for how we can improve the water quality by reducing the pollutants and toxins that are on the ground.\u201d\nThe number one pollutant of Athens waterways is fecal coliform, the bacteria found in animal waste. This bacteria can be detrimental to stream habitats, killing aquatic life and using up the oxygen needed for plant and animal survival. Athens-Clarke County has several campaigns and initiatives to encourage pet owners to pick up after their animals in order to stop \u201cpoo-llution.\u201d Pet waste disposal bags and trash bins can be found at local parks and recreational areas throughout the county for this reason and aim to lessen the input of fecal coliform into the water supply.\n\u0093Cleaning up pet waste in a bag and putting it in the trash has a big impact [on water quality].\u0094\n\u2014 Tyra Byers, program coordinator at the University of Georgia Office of Sustainability\nAnother way the local government works to protect water in Athens-Clarke County is by charging its property owners a stormwater utility fee in order to fund programs that maintain and preserve community water. This fee pays for water quality sampling, storm drain cleaning and infrastructure maintenance among other things.\nCecile Riker, program education specialist for Athens-Clarke County Stormwater Management, explained that wastewater and stormwater are two completely different things that people often get confused. Wastewater flows from industrial and domestic drains and sewer systems and goes to a treatment facility while stormwater flows directly from storm drains into local water supply without being filtered or treated, making the county stormwater utility fee especially beneficial and important for water health.\n\u201cA big part of what I do is to try and raise awareness of the water resources that we have in our community and ways to keep them healthy,\u201d Riker said. \u201cHelping people make that connection between what they are doing\u2026 and what may potentially end up in a river later down the road.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "A's pitcher Colon gets 50-game suspension\nOakland Athletics' right-handed pitcher Bartolo Colon has been suspended 50 games for testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs.\nMajor League Baseball announced the suspension Wednesday for the 39-year-old Colon, who was in the midst of a rebound season with a 10-9 record and 3.43 ERA for the wild-card contender.\n\u201cI apologize to the fans, to my teammates and to the Oakland A's. I accept responsibility for my actions and I will serve my suspension as required by the Joint Drug Program,\u201d Colon said in a statement released through the MLBPA.\nColon did not pitch in 2010 but he underwent stem-cell treatment on his pitching shoulder and elbow and returned to make 26 starts with the New York Yankees last season. Colon was 8-10 with a 4.00 ERA.\nThe team issued a release shortly after the announcement from MLB officials.\n\u201cThe Oakland Athletics are disappointed to learn of today's suspension of pitcher Bartolo Colon. The organization fully supports Major League Baseball's Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program and its efforts to eliminate performance-enhancing substances from our game. Per the Basic Agreement, the A's will have no further comment.\u201d\nColon's suspension was the second 50-game ban handed down by baseball in the past week. Giants' All-Star outfielder Melky Cabrera was suspended 50 games for testing positive for testosterone last week.\nThe A's entered Wednesday afternoon's game with the Twins just a half-game out of the final wild-card spot and five games behind Texas in the American League West.\nColon, scheduled to start Thursday at Tampa, is the elder statesman of the A's mostly young pitching staff and he has enjoyed a season that has been quite good much of the time - going 10-9 with a 3.43 ERA.\nIn four of his five previous outings, Colon had allowed no more than one run, helping the A's remain in contention for a playoff spot.\nThe suspension left the A's scrambling for pitching despite their depth. Dan Straily, the team's top prospect, was sent down on Monday to make roster space for Brett Anderson and he cannot return for 10 days except in the event of an injury that requires a DL stint.\nFor now, the A's will recall right-hander Tyson Ross, who has had several stints with Oakland the past few seasons.\nColon, 39, recently became the third pitcher in Oakland history to record double-digit wins after the age of 35.\nColon signed a one-year, $2 million contract with the Athletics, his seventh Major League team -- he had two stints with the Chicago White Sox -- since entering the league with the Cleveland Indians in 1997. Cleveland signed him as a free agent in 1993 out of the Dominican Republic.\nHe has a career record of 171-122 and a 4.05 ERA.",

        "raw_content": "What is the Chinese Company Registration Number and How to Check It?\nWhen starting business with a Chinese company, checking the Chinese company registration number is a common preliminary task. The company's registration number appears on its business license and you can confirm the registration details through certain ways. Please note that the registration number is also known as the Chinese Business License Number.\nTip: Do you want to quickly verify a Chinese company? Get your satisfied report within one business day with our streamlined Chinese Company Verification Service.\nWhat is a Chinese Company Registration Number\nAll companies in China must be officially registered and get a business license. If they don't do that, they can't operate legally. If the company successfully completes the official registration process, they will get a business license, which includes a unique Chinese company registration number.\nThis number appears on their business license and is also logged in the government office's records, which handle business registrations in their province where they are located. The office is called the AIC (Administration for Industry and Commerce \u2013 \u5de5\u5546\u884c\u653f\u7ba1\u7406\u5c40) and there is an AIC in each administrative region in China (provinces and major cities).\nEach AIC can view these logs online through its website. This means that you can look up a business by the Chinese company registration number displayed on its business license and see if it matches the information displayed online.\nUnfortunately, each AIC's record search system is very special and they do not guarantee that public records contain the most up-to-date information. This means that in general, some knowledge of Chinese language and registration system is needed to navigate and interpret the public records provided by Administration for Industry and Commerces in China.\nHow to Check a Chinese Company Registration Number\nChinaCoCheck's Company Verification Services is very useful in this process. We make it easy and very affordable for you to check out the Chinese company registration details. We only need basic identification details, and then we will process the location and retrieve the company's registration records, fully translate and interpret them in clear English, and compile all the information into a convenient report format and then send it to your inbox.",

        "title": "Stanley Baxter, comedian news : Chortle : The UK Comedy Guide",
        "raw_content": "Talented character comedian Stanley Baxter began his performing career as a child impersonating stars of the day in a vaudeville act with his mother. He went on to appear regularly in the Scottish edition of the BBC's Children's Hour, but it was during his national service he honed his skills, as part of the Combined Services Entertainment unit.\nOn demob, he joined the Citizens Theatre in his native Glasgow before moving to London. He made his television debut on the BBC's Shop Window in 1952, but his break came with the satirical sketch show On the Bright Side in 1959, which he co-hosted with Round The Horne\u2019s Betty Marsden.\nHis self-titled TV sketch show ran on the BBC from 1963 to 1971 (with a break for the six-part Baxter On... co-starring June Whitfield) which became known for its extravagant production values. He moved to London Weekend Television for the Stanley Baxter Picture Show, which ran from 1972 to 1975, followed by a number of specials, plus another series in 1981.\nHowever, the cost of the lavish show proved prohibitive, and LWT dropped him, even though the shows attracted audiences of up to 20million. Baxter also courted controversy, becoming the first person on television to impersonate the Pope and the Queen.\nHe returned to the BBC with Stanley Baxter's Christmas Hamper in 1985 and Stanley Baxter's Picture Annual for the following festive season, but again budget constraints meant there would be no more specials.\nWith his own shows drying up, he took a role in the ITV children's series Mr Majeika, which ran from1988 to 1990.\nIn 1996, Channel 4 ran two specials combining old highlights and new material.\nOn stage, he performed in the original production of Joe Orton's controversial farce What The Butler Saw in the West End in 1969, and was a perennial favourite on the Scottish pantomime circuit until his retirement in 1991.\nHe appeared in a series of three half-hour radio sitcoms for BBC Radio 4 in 2004, entitled Stanley Baxter and Friends, and another radio trio aired in 2008, called The Stanley Baxter Playhouse.\nIn 1997, he was honoured with a lifetime achievement award at the British Comedy Awards.\nThe forgotten man of comedy?\nStanley Baxter is the neglected icon of British comedy, say the makers of a new tribute programme.\nAs he turns 75, BBC1 is to pay its dues in a 50-minute special This Is Stanley Baxter, on July 12.\nAnd the corporation's own press release describes him as \"a ghostly presence on the fringes of memory\".\nTo a large extent it is his own fault. The man who had commanded TV audiences of millions with lavishly funded extravaganzas, retired from our screens in his early 60s. It could have been a prime time in his career.\nOthers continued to roll out for special appearances gaining cult credibility or camp notoriety. Stanley didn't. The man who once ranked at the pinnacle of light entertainment with the likes of Morecambe and Wise, Dick Emery and Les Dawson effectively hit the off switch on his telly career. He had wanted to retire from the gruelling schedule his shows and pantomime runs imposed particularly as he had come to rely on prescription drugs to get him through and help him sleep.\nThere is no regret in his voice as he says: \"I felt I was quite a big star in Scotland, and a reasonably big star south of the border but this is it, this is the time to get off that particular carousel.\"\nWhy didn't he continue to appear on the chat show circuit, which was part and parcel of those times and a performing lifeline for so many of his contemporaries?\n\"I hate being on camera. I hate talking as myself and whenever I see it back, either on sound or vision or both, I absolutely loathe it. I don't mind myself when I am in character but I just hate the sound of my own voice and the look of me too.\"\nStanley chose to break his silence with his most extensive television interview ever to BBC Scotland, to mark his 7Sth birthday.\nIt was with BBC Scotland that Stanley forged the early part of his career and Scotland is still very much in his heart - even though he has lived in London for almost 50 years.\nThe programme takes him on a nostalgic tour of Glasgow, from his old family home to the cinema where he learned to dream of performing, and to the stages where he wowed what many have acknowledged as the toughest audiences in the UK.\nThe programme also says that Baxter's career was a pivotal part of the development of British comedy.\nHis early career included the first split-screen line-up of impersonations, with Baxter appearing simultaneously as four people; a televisual trick which was to become the hallmark of his amazing sketch productions taking off everything from Gone With The Wind to Upstairs, Downstairs.\nHis famous lavish productions in drag included the first television impersonation of the Queen, which could quite feasibly have been regarded as a treasonable offence, and his material was risque for the time, inciting the wrath of Mary Whitehouse.\nYet he did it all within the mainstream of British television, and his comedy successors have enjoyed the licence he created.\nIt isn't perhaps a heritage he always necessarily enjoys for his own entertainment, but Britain has become a more liberal society for his efforts - at least in terms of comedy.\n\"When I see what people get away with nowadays, I realise those were really very innocent days indeed!\" he says\nFirst published:July 2001\nBaxter's back\nVeteran comedian Stanley Baxter is to come out of retirement\u2026\nWe do not currently hold contact details for Stanley Baxter's agent.

        "raw_content": "Subscribe To Writer Hired To Script Sequel To The Last Exorcism Updates\nWriter Hired To Script Sequel To The Last Exorcism\nGiven Hollywood's penchant for creating sequels for every god damn movie that makes half a cent, using the word \"last\" or \"final\" in your title is a great way to stick yourself in a corner. Sure, Final Destination was able to get away with it for a while (one can argue that it's because the title is a pun), but when they named the fourth installment THE Final Destination and then made a fifth movie they looked foolish. Case in point, THR is reporting that a sequel to last year's The Last Exorcism is now in the works. I can hear audiences laughing at the title Last Exorcism 2 already.\nAccording to the trade, Lionsgate has hired Damien Chazelle to script a follow-up to Daniel Stamm's 2010 exorcism film, which surprised analysts when it made $20.3 million in its opening weekend and placed a close second to Takers. Filmed in documentary fashion with a no-name cast, the movie was made for only $1.8 million and ended up grossing nearly $70 million worldwide. In the film an Evangelical preacher (Patrick Fabian) brings a camera crew with him on his last exorcism as a means of exposing it all as a hoax. In addition to producing last year's Sundance hit Buried with Ryan Reynolds, Chazelle has also written a spec-script called Grand Piano, which has Spanish director Eugenio Mira attached to helm. Financed by Studio Canal, the horror sequel should go into production this fall.\nWithout giving too much away, I don't think that any of the characters from the first film will be able to come back, so I'm curious as to how Chazelle will approach the project. Will it be a documentary investigating the events of the first film? Will it have a completely separate story that has nothing to do with the first film a la Blair Witch 2: Book of Secrets? When it comes down to it, the title might be the least of his problems.",

        "raw_content": "Wine Wednesday: Girardin Burgundy\nPosted By Ted Scheffler on September 28, 2011, 11:17 AM\nLocated in Mersault, France, Vincent Girardin is a trustworthy producer of some of the best Burgundys from the Cote-d\u2019Or. --- The wines aren\u2019t fined or filtered, so they allow for optimum expression of terroir. I\u2019ve enjoyed both red and white Burgundy from Girardin over the years and, while not exactly cheap, they are some of the better Burgundian values to be found.\nI recently opened a bottle of 2008 Vincent Garardin Savigny-les-Beaune Premier Cru Les Vergelesses (quite a mouthful), which is selling for $28.99.\nFirst, a bit of geography: If you deconstruct the bottle label, you\u2019ll see that this red wine is a product of Bourgogne (Burgundy), a wine region in France. Savigny-Les-Beaune is the village the wine comes from, which sits in the shadow of the more sizable Beaune, to the south. Les Vergelesses is a vineyard on the northern side of Savigny-Les-Beaune. The wines from that vineyard tend to be intense and focused.\nIntense is a good way to describe the 2008 Les Vergelesses. It\u2019s a bit young and I think it will improve considerably with some bottle time. The 2006 vintage, for example, is just beginning to come around. Even it could use another year or two of aging.\nSo, if you choose to drink this wine now, I suggest decanting it a few hours before drinking to allow the wine to open up a bit. The tannins mellow out some when the wine is aerated.\nThis is a very earthy, somewhat barnyard-y wine with firm tannins, good minerality, and lots of classic Burgundian fruit (Pinot Noir) \u2013 dark flavors of black cherry, blackberry, and chocolate. It\u2019s also a little musky and smoky -- as I say, a tad rough around the edges. At present, I would drink this muscular Burgundy with your favorite red meat or game. But, you\u2019re better off laying it away and coming back to it in a few years.\nTags: Burgundy, Bourgogne, France, Savigny-Les-Beaune, Vincent Garardin, tannins\n\u00ab Panel to Discuss SLC Performing Art\u2026 | Concert Review: Merle Haggard and K\u2026 \u00bb",

        "raw_content": "Samsung posts $8.2B profit; second straight quarterly drop\nSouth Korean electronics giant posts an operating profit of $8.2 billion for the first quarter, a 3.3 percent decline from the year-ago period.\nSamsung's Galaxy S4. Samsung\nSamsung reported its second consecutive quarter of profit decline Monday on slackening demand for its high-end smartphones.\nThe South Korean electronics giant reported a first-quarter operating profit of 8.49 trillion Korean won ($8.2 billion) for the three months ended March 31, a 3.3 percent decline from the year-ago period. The financial results were slightly better than guidance provided by Samsung earlier this month, as well as analysts' average prediction of an 8.4 trillion won operating profit.\nThe company recorded sales of 53.68 trillion won, a 3 percent increase year over year.\nSamsung's mobile division, which typically accounts for two-thirds of the company's revenue, recorded a first-quarter operating profit of 6.43 trillion won ($6.2 billion), a slight decline from the 6.51 trillion won a year ago but a 17 percent increase over the 5.47 trillion won in the previous quarter.\nKey Samsung executives depart from US business\nIs the Samsung Galaxy S5 really worth the extra cash?\nThe company said it expects earnings to improve in the second quarter due to expected strong sales of the Galaxy S5, the Samsung flagship handset that went on sale earlier this month. Sales of the Galaxy S5 do not factor into the company's first-quarter results.\n\"Samsung is expected to see profits rally in the second quarter and beyond, on the back of improved sales of display panels and home appliances,\" Samsung said in a statement. \"Orders for display panels that are used for premium smartphones and TVs are expected to increase, as new mobile devices are rolled out into the market and as consumers look forward to the upcoming World Cup in Brazil.\"\nSamsung's previous flagship handset -- the Galaxy S4 -- wasn't considered a major leap over its predecessor. While sales of the Galaxy S4 popped immediately, it struggled to maintain that momentum. The company hasn't offered any sales targets for the Galaxy S5, but a Samsung executive told Reuters that the new handset is expected to fare \"much better\" than its predecessor.\nSamsung's earnings come out a week after Apple, its chief competitor in the smartphone market, revealed that it sold 43.7 million iPhones, much higher than the expected 38 million and a record for the March quarter. Sales of the iPhone helped the Cupertino, Calif., tech giant return to earnings growth -- its highest rate in the past six quarters.\nIn recent quarters, profits from Samsung's mobile division, which typically accounts for two-thirds of its revenue, have been buoyed by sales of cheaper handsets in emerging markets such as China, South America, and Eastern Europe.\nMobile TVs Phones Samsung\nDiscuss: Samsung posts $8.2B profit; second straight quarterly drop",

        "raw_content": "Georgia Plans to Kill Troy Davis Next Week. Can It Still Be Stopped?\nThe answer remains unclear. But the state clemency board is being bombarded with letters requesting it pay attention to deeply troubling evidence suggesting Davis's innocence.\nJen Marlowe Sep 14, 2011 9:30AM EDT\nThe order was signed on Sept. 6, at 3:53 p.m. \u201cWithin a time period commencing at noon on the 21st day of September \u2026 Troy Anthony Davis shall be executed by the Department of Corrections.\u201d\nThe precise date and time of the execution was set shortly thereafter: Sept. 21, at 7 p.m.\nThe method will be lethal injection.\nTroy Anthony Davis was convicted and sentenced to death in 1991 for the 1989 murder of off-duty Savannah police officer Mark Allen MacPhail. Davis\u2019s conviction was based largely on eyewitness testimony and, in the intervening years, the case against him has completely fallen apart. Seven out of the nine eyewitnesses have either recanted or contradicted their trial testimony; the only physical evidence (ballistics testing) that the state brought against him was later discredited and withdrawn; and new witnesses have come forward identifying the shooter as Sylvester \u201cRedd\u201d Coles\u2013the very man who first implicated Davis.\nThroughout all of this, Troy Davis\u2019s case has undergone a remarkable number of twists and turns, even for a capital case. And in spite of each new revelation, Davis has been turned down time after time, often in closely divided rulings.\nWhy Is Davis Facing Death?\nGiven that the evidence used to convict Davis has so fully unraveled, how is it possible that he has been unable to find relief in the court system? The answer is simple: The U.S. legal system is woefully inadequate in its ability to deal with post-conviction claims of actual innocence. Once a defendant is convicted of a crime, the presumption of \u201cinnocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt\u201d evaporates. The burden of proof shifts to the convicted defendant.\nIn addition, the appellate courts are hindered by a very narrow focus on procedure and technicalities. The process is designed, largely, to protect a jury\u2019s decision. Appeals are intended to challenge specific procedural errors that may have occurred during trial, but not to challenge a conviction based on a claim of actual innocence. The limited focus of the system prevents courts from asking the most critical question: Is the conviction that was obtained at trial still reliable today?\nAs such, a case such as Troy Davis\u2019s can go through the system over and over without being granted relief, despite substantial doubts about the accuracy of the conviction itself.\nIn a highly unusual move, in August 2009 the U.S. Supreme Court ordered an evidentiary hearing for Davis, granting him the opportunity to prove innocence. It was the first time in nearly fifty years that the Supreme Court granted an original (direct) habeas petition, rather than as an appeal through lower courts. The hearing was held before U.S. District Court Judge William Moore in June 2010.\nFour witnesses from the 1991 trial took the stand and recanted their original testimony, testifying that their initial statements against Davis were procured from the police by coercion and intimidation.\nJeffrey Sapp, for instance, signed a police statement declaring that Davis had told him that he had shot MacPhail. Now, at the evidentiary hearing, he said he\u2019d done so under duress. \u201cThere were police in front of me, behind me,\u201d Sapp testified. \u201cI was so scared, I would say anything they wanted. \u2018Just say Troy told you! Just say Troy told you!\u2019 \u201d\nDarell \u201cD.D.\u201d Collins was 16 years old the night of the murder. He testified at the 2010 hearing that the police threatened to charge him as an accessory to murder if he did not cooperate and sign a statement implicating Davis.\nAntoine Williams, for his part, testified that he didn\u2019t read the statement the police had him sign that night. Why? \u201cI cannot read or spell,\u201d he explained.\nThree different witnesses came forward and implicated Sylvester Coles as the actual shooter; Benjamin Gordon (related to Coles by marriage) testified that he actually saw Coles pull the trigger.\nThe evidentiary hearing was the first time that all of this new evidence was considered in a court of law\u2013but it was not a re-trial. In a re-trial, the prosecution would have the burden of proving beyond a reasonable doubt that Davis was guilty; in the evidentiary hearing, the burden was on Davis to clearly establish his innocence. This was an extraordinarily high standard to meet, especially (and paradoxically) given that there is no physical evidence linking Davis to the murder\u2013and therefore nothing for DNA testing to scientifically and conclusively overturn.\nJudge Moore rendered his decision in early September 2010. Though he admitted in his 174-page order that the case against Davis \u201cmay not be ironclad,\u201d and that the hearing did cast some \u201cadditional, minimal doubt,\u201d Judge Moore ruled that Davis had not established innocence.\nDavis\u2019s attorneys tried to appeal Moore\u2019s decision, but no court was willing to review it. The 11th Circuit Court ruled that it lacked jurisdiction and, on March 28, 2011, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to consider the final appeal, clearing the way for last week\u2019s order of execution. This is Davis\u2019s fourth execution date in as many years\u2013but this time, the legal process has been exhausted.\nClemency: The Final Fail Safe\nIronically, Davis\u2019s death warrant brings some hope to those working to prevent the execution. His best, last hope is clemency (which means \u201cmercy\u201d), a process that could only be set into motion once the execution date was set. On Monday, Sept. 19, two days before the scheduled execution, Davis will have a clemency hearing in front of the five-member Georgia State Board of Pardons and Parole. At the end of the hearing, the Board will decide, via majority vote, whether to grant Troy Davis clemency.\nThough he was denied clemency in the past, the Board\u2019s membership has changed since Davis\u2019 last hearing and, in the interim, new witnesses have come forward.\nMoreover, a clemency hearing functions differently than processes within the court system. The Board of Pardons and Parole has far more discretion in its decision-making than a court has and is not bound by the same narrow focus on procedure.\n\u201cIn Troy Davis\u2019s case, the Board of Pardons and Paroles can consider the fact that so many of these witnesses have recanted \u2026 the problems with forensic science in the case, the problems with eyewitness testimony, the problems with snitch testimony,\u201d explains Terrica Redfield Ganzy, the death penalty counsel at the Southern Center for Human Rights. \u201c[The Board] can consider things that would be irrelevant to a court.\u201d\nDavis supporters are calling on the Georgia State Board of Pardons and Parole to adhere to a statement it made in 2007, stating that it \u201cwill not allow an execution to proceed in this State unless and until its members are convinced that there is no doubt as to the guilt of the accused.\u201d\nIf clemency is granted, it will most likely be in the form of permanently taking Davis off death row and commuting his sentence to life.\nDavis, of course, does not relish the idea of life in prison for a crime he maintains he did not commit. But as Freddie Lee Pitts, who was exonerated from Florida\u2019s death row, once said, \u201cYou can release an innocent man from prison, but you can\u2019t release him from the grave.\u201d\nMass Mobilization\nA coalition of organizations\u2013including Amnesty International, the NAACP, National Action Network, Color of Change, People of Faith Against the Death Penalty, Georgians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty, the ACLU and others\u2013 sprang into action last week, organizing marches and vigils and circulating petitions in support of Davis\u2019 clemency bid.\nWithin three days of the announcement of the execution date, Amnesty International garnered 90,000 new signatures on its petition calling for clemency. Change.org put out an action alert to a similar petition launched by Davis\u2019s younger sister, amassing another 100,000 signatures in 24 hours. Thousands of clergy members and attorneys have endorsed sign-on letters to the Board, and over 50 congressional representatives have called for clemency. Former Deputy U.S. Attorney General Larry Thompson (also a former U.S. attorney in Georgia) wrote a letter to the Board on Sept. 8, stating: \u201cI do not know if Troy Davis is innocent, but it is clear now that the doubts plaguing his case can never be adequately addressed. On this basis, I urge you to \u2026 grant clemency.\u201d Twenty-six former death row inmates echoed Thompson\u2019s sentiment, writing to the Board: \u201cWe don\u2019t know if Troy Davis is innocent, but, as people who were wrongfully sentenced to death (and in some cases scheduled for execution), we believe it is vitally important that no execution go forward when there are doubts about guilt.\u201d\nCelebrities who have endorsed Davis\u2019s clemency campaign include REM\u2019s Michael Stipe, The Indigo Girls, OutKast\u2019s Big Boi, Cee-Lo Green, Harry Belafonte, Russell Simons, Susan Sarandon, Chaz Guest, Joan Baez and State Radio.\nDavis supporters are planning a day of global solidarity with him on Friday, Sept. 16, just three days ahead of the Board hearing. The main event will be in Atlanta, where over 1,000 people, including at least six death row exonorees, are expected to march from Woodruff Park to Ebenezer Baptist Church (where Martin Luther King, Jr. once preached) for an evening of prayer reflection, music and witness.\nAnd then it will all come down to the hearing. Either the Board will commute Davis\u2019 sentence and his execution will be permanently prevented, or they will not. In either scenario, the 20-plus-year state of limbo in which Davis and his family have lived, not to mention the family of slain police officer Mark MacPhail, will come to an end.\n\u201cThis fight is bigger than Troy Anthony Davis,\u201d Davis\u2019s younger sister, Kim Davis, says. \u201cThis is for all the Troy Anthony Davis\u2019 that came before him, and all the Troy Anthony Davis\u2019 that will come after him. This fight has brought people together all over the world, of all different ethnicities and backgrounds. We\u2019re one family, standing in solidarity together and fighting for one cause: justice. And we\u2019ll keep fighting until we\u2019re no longer standing.\u201d\nJen Marlowe is a human rights activist, author and filmmaker.

        "raw_content": "The most common diabetic eye disease is diabetic retinopathy. But diabetic eye disease can include other eye problems such as:\nCataract \u2013 This is a clouded area in the eye's lens. While many people get cataracts as they age, they happen at an earlier age in people with diabetes.\nGlaucoma \u2013 This is damage of the optic nerve and loss of vision. It is usually associated with an increase in fluid pressure inside the eye. A person with diabetes is nearly twice as likely to get glaucoma.\nDiabetic retinopathy is the most common diabetic eye disease and a leading cause of blindness in adults in the U.S. It is caused by changes in the blood vessels of the retina. The retina is the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. A healthy retina is necessary for good vision.\nIn some people with diabetic retinopathy, blood vessels might swell and leak fluid. In other people, abnormal blood vessels grow on the surface of the retina. Diabetic retinopathy usually affects both eyes.\nIf you have diabetic retinopathy, you might not notice changes to your vision at first. But over time, diabetic retinopathy can worsen and cause vision loss.\nThere are four stages of diabetic retinopathy. They are:\nMild non-proliferative retinopathy \u2013 This is the earliest stage. People in this stage have small areas of balloon-like swelling in the retina's tiny blood vessels. These are called microaneurysms.\nModerate non-proliferative retinopathy \u2013 In this second stage, blood vessels that nourish the retina become blocked.\nSevere non-proliferative retinopathy \u2013 In this third stage, many more blood vessels are blocked. This keeps several areas of the retina from receiving the blood supply they need. These areas of the retina send signals to the body to grow new blood vessels for nourishment.\nProliferative retinopathy - At this advanced stage, the signals sent by the retina in the third stage trigger the growth of new blood vessels. These new blood vessels are fragile and break easily. They grow along the retina and along the surface of the clear, vitreous gel that fills the inside of the eye. On their own, these blood vessels do not cause symptoms or vision loss. But if they break and leak blood, they can cause severe vision loss and even blindness.\nDiabetic retinopathy changes the blood vessels in the retina. This can cause vision loss in two ways:\nProliferative retinopathy - This is when fragile, abnormal blood vessels develop and leak blood into the center of the eye, blurring vision. It happens in the fourth and most advanced stage of the disease.\nMacular edema - This is when fluid leaks into the center of the macula, the part of the eye that allows for central vision. Central vision is the sharp, straight-ahead vision needed to see fine detail. When fluid leaks into the macula, it causes swelling and blurs vision. Macular edema can happen at any stage of diabetic retinopathy, although it is more likely to happen as the disease worsens. About half of the people with proliferative retinopathy also have macular edema.\nYou can develop either proliferative retinopathy, macular edema, or both and still have no symptoms or vision loss. However, if you have these conditions you are at high risk for vision loss. Your eye doctor can tell if you have macular edema or any stage of diabetic retinopathy. Whether or not you have symptoms, early detection and timely treatment can prevent vision loss.\nThe main risk factor for diabetic retinopathy is diabetes. This includes both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.\nThe longer a person has diabetes, the more likely he or she will get diabetic retinopathy. Between 40 to 45 percent of Americans diagnosed with diabetes have some stage of diabetic retinopathy. For this reason, everyone with diabetes should get a comprehensive dilated eye exam at least once a year.\nWomen with diabetes who become pregnant are also at higher risk of diabetic retinopathy. To protect vision, every pregnant woman with diabetes should have a comprehensive dilated eye exam as soon as possible. Your doctor might recommend additional exams during your pregnancy.\nIf you have diabetes, make sure to get a comprehensive dilated eye exam at least once a year.\nIf you have diabetic retinopathy, you might need an eye exam more often. People with proliferative retinopathy can reduce their risk of blindness by 95 percent with early treatment and good follow-up care.\nControlling your blood sugar levels can slow the onset and worsening of your retinopathy. Better blood sugar control also reduces the need for laser surgery to save vision. But the same level of blood sugar control might not be best for everyone, such as some elderly people, children under age 13, or people with heart disease. Be sure to ask your doctor if a control program is right for you.\nControlling elevated blood pressure and cholesterol might also reduce the risk of vision loss. This can help your overall health as well as your vision.\nEarly on, the disease often does not cause symptoms or pain. If macular edema happens, it might cause blurred vision. But don't wait for symptoms. Be sure to have a comprehensive dilated eye exam at least once a year.\nIf new blood vessels grow on the surface of the retina, they can bleed into the eye and block vision. This causes symptoms. You might start to see a few specks of blood, or spots, \"floating\" in your vision. Episodes of bleeding tend to happen more than once, often during sleep. If these occur, see your eye care professional as soon as possible. You might need treatment to stop more serious bleeding from happening.\nSometimes, the spots stop without treatment. However, bleeding can start again and cause severely blurred vision. You need to be examined by your eye doctor at the first sign of blurred vision, before more bleeding happens. If left untreated, diabetic retinopathy can cause severe vision loss and even blindness. Also, the earlier you receive treatment, the more likely treatment will be effective.\nDiabetic retinopathy and macular edema are detected during a comprehensive eye exam. This includes:\nDilated eye exam \u2013 For this test, the eye doctor puts drops in your eyes to widen, or dilate, the pupils. He or she will then use a special magnifying lens to examine your retina and optic nerve for signs of disease and other eye problems. After the exam, your close-up vision might remain blurred for several hours.\nTonometry \u2013 This test involves an instrument that measures the pressure inside the eye. Your doctor might apply numbing drops to your eye for this test.\nIf you need treatment for macular edema, your doctor might suggest you have a fluorescein angiogram. For this test, a special dye is injected into your arm. Pictures are taken as the dye passes through the blood vessels in your retina. This allows your eye doctor to see any leaking blood vessels and decide how to treat them.\nPeople in the first three stages of diabetic retinopathy, do not need treatment unless they have macular edema. To prevent diabetic retinopathy from getting worse, people with diabetes should control their blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and blood cholesterol.\nPeople in later stages of the disease, or who have macular edema, will need treatment. Treatment options depend on the type of diabetic retinopathy. They include:\nScatter laser treatment \u2013 This is a kind of laser surgery for people with proliferative retinopathy. Scatter laser treatment helps to shrink the abnormal blood vessels. For this treatment, the doctor places 1000 to 2000 laser burns in the areas of the retina away from the macula. This causes the abnormal blood vessels to shrink. Because a high number of laser burns are necessary, a person who gets this treatment usually needs two or more sessions. Scatter laser treatment can cause some loss of peripheral (side) vision, but it can preserve and save the rest of the person's vision, especially critical central vision. It might also slightly reduce color vision and night vision.\nScatter laser treatment works better before the fragile, new blood vessels have started to bleed. That is why it is important to have regular, comprehensive dilated eye exams. Once some bleeding has started, it is important to have scatter laser treatment as soon as possible. This is because floating blood can prevent your eye doctor from being able to see your retina well.\nVitrectomy \u2013 This is a surgical procedure for people with severe bleeding. During a vitrectomy, the doctor removes blood from the center of the eye. If you have this treatment, you will probably also have scatter laser treatment at the same time.\nFocal laser treatment \u2013 This is a kind of laser surgery for people with macular edema. For this treatment, the doctor places small laser burns directly in the areas of retinal leakage surrounding the macula. These burns slow the leakage of fluid and reduce the amount of fluid in the retina.\nThe surgery is usually completed in one session, but a person might need focal laser surgery more than once to control leaking fluid. If surgery is needed for macular edema is in both eyes, generally only one eye will be treated at a time, usually several weeks apart.\nFocal laser treatment not only preserves vision, but it reduces the risk of vision loss by 50 percent. In a few cases, lost vision can even be improved.\nMedications \u2013 If you have macula edema, your eye doctor might give you injections of medications such as ranibizumab, bevacizumab and steroids. You will have these injections in your eye doctor's office, once he or she has cleaned and numbed your eye. These medications can help by decreasing fluid and swelling in the macula without the risk of scarring from laser burns. Treatment with injections usually requires multiple treatments.\nWhat happens during laser treatment?\nBoth focal and scatter laser treatment are performed in your doctor's office or eye clinic.\nBefore the surgery, your doctor will dilate your pupil and apply drops to numb the eye. The area behind your eye might also be numbed to prevent discomfort. You will sit facing the laser machine and your doctor will hold a special lens to your eye. During the procedure, you might see flashes of light. These flashes might create a stinging sensation that can be uncomfortable over time.\nYou will need someone to drive you home after surgery. Because your pupil will stay dilated for a few hours, you should bring a pair of sunglasses. For the rest of the day, your vision will probably be a little blurry. If your eye hurts, your doctor can suggest treatment.\nLaser surgery and good follow-up care can reduce the risk of blindness by 90 percent. However, laser surgery usually cannot restore vision that has already been lost. That is why treating diabetic retinopathy early is the best way to prevent vision loss.\nA vitrectomy is performed under either local or general anesthesia. Your doctor makes a tiny incision in your eye and uses a small instrument to remove the vitreous gel that is clouded with blood. He or she then replaces the cloudy vitreous gel with a salt solution. Because the vitreous gel is mostly water, you won't notice any change between the salt solution and the original vitreous gel.\nOnce the vitrectomy is finished, you will probably be able to return home right away, but some people need to stay in the hospital overnight after having this treatment. Your eye will be red and sensitive. You will need to wear an eye shield for a few days or weeks to protect your eye. You will also need to use medicated eyedrops to protect your eyes from infection and inflammation.\nCan scatter laser treatment and vitrectomy cure diabetic retinopathy?\nNo, but both treatments are very good at reducing vision loss. People with proliferative retinopathy have less than a 5 percent chance of becoming blind within five years when they get timely and appropriate treatment.\nOnce you have proliferative retinopathy, you will always be at risk for new bleeding. You might need treatment more than once to protect your sight.\nWhat can I do if I already have lost some vision from diabetic retinopathy?\nIf you have lost some sight from diabetic retinopathy, ask your eye doctor about low vision services and devices that can help you make the most of the vision you have left. Ask him or her to refer you to a specialist in low vision. Many community organizations and agencies offer information about low vision counseling, training, and other special services for people with visual impairments. A nearby school of medicine or optometry might provide low vision services.",

        "title": "Origin EON 17-S: Big Performance, Big Price | Computerworld",
        "raw_content": "Origin EON 17-S: Big Performance, Big Price\nThe Origin EON 17-S is unabashedly a desktop replacement laptop. It's big and bulky, though it weighs a bit less than older, similar systems at a little over 8.5 pounds without the power brick. (Note that the large, 220W power supply weighs about 2.5 pounds all by itself.) On the surface, it's a generic 17-inch laptop with some additional amenities, such as a discrete Nvidia GTX 460M GPU, a high-performance solid-state drive, and the top-of-the-line Core i7-2920XM quad-core processor from Intel's 32nm Sandy Bridge CPU series.\nOnce you get past the generic look, you'll find a highly capable desktop replacement notebook with a few quirks. For one thing, Origin chose not to implement Nvidia's Optimus technology, which can automatically switch between the lower-power Intel HD Graphics built into the Sandy Bridge CPU core and the higher-performing discrete GPU. This omission probably accounts for the EON 17-S's relatively short battery life in PCWorld Labs testing--just 2 hours, 18 minutes.\nOn the other hand, the EON 17-S delivered the highest WorldBench 6 score we've yet seen from a laptop, a stunning mark of 197. The 2.5GHz Core i7-2920XM can run as high as 3.5GHz in Turbo Boost mode. The laptop's bulky chassis may detract from the overall aesthetic, but it also provides for greater airflow, allowing the Intel CPU to maintain those higher Turbo Boost frequencies. Having 16GB of fast DDR3 memory doesn't hurt.\nThe downside to the discrete GPU and high-performance CPU is noise. The fan noise emanating from the EON 17-S is pretty loud--not the loudest I've heard, but loud enough to be distracting, even when the laptop is idle.\nGaming performance is more limited, probably due to the GTX 460M GPU. Origin does offer higher-end GPUs as an option, but the system is already priced north of $3400 (as of August 5, 2011), so bear that in mind. You will see fairly good frame rates at the full 1080p resolution if you dial the graphics-detail settings to one notch below maximum, leave antialiasing off, and keep shadow quality to medium in the more strenuous games.\nOrigin includes plenty of ports, including five USB ports. Three--of which two are USB 3.0 capable--are on the left side. One combo eSATA/USB 2.0 connector is on the rear, and one USB 2.0 port sits on the right side. Also on the left side are a FireWire four-pin connector and an SD Card slot. The right side houses the Blu-ray drive plus three audio jacks, which can be configured as combo jacks. The laptop handles digital video output through HDMI and DVI connectors on the rear; it lacks a VGA connector, but that won't be missed.\nOne of the more interesting amenities is Bigfoot Networks' Killer wireless 802.11n network card. The Killer's claim to fame is that it offers lower latencies and higher throughput than standard network controllers do. My experience is that the Killer works as advertised--but it mostly doesn't matter, since you won't notice the difference. You do get a lot of granular control over your machine's 802.11n Wi-Fi capabilities, if that's something you crave. The EON 17-S includes gigabit ethernet, but lacks both Bluetooth and 3G/4G wireless networking.\nAudio quality through the built-in speakers is quite good, after you enable the THX TruSurround software optimization tool. Beyond activating TruSurround and making sure it's running, you don't need to do anything else. Music and movies sound richer and more full-bodied than they do when the speakers are running in stand-alone mode. Even so, the sound system suffers from a lack of bass, so you'll want good headphones if you crave more robust audio.\nVideo playback--both high-definition Blu-ray material and DVD upscaling--looks a little on the noisy side. It's not too distracting, but you'll see it if you're looking for it, especially when comparing the results to those of similar systems running Intel HD Graphics or an AMD discrete GPU. Motion smearing is evident, but also not distracting.\nA fast, 256GB Crucial SSD is the primary boot drive; a 750GB, 7200-rpm Seagate drive is included for secondary storage. Origin also throws in a Blu-ray read-only combo drive, and you can get a Blu-ray burner as an extra-cost option. The EON 17-S ships with PowerDVD 11 for full Blu-ray 3D support. Origin didn't configure user folders to live on the secondary drive, however, so you'll need to do that heavy lifting yourself.\nThe keyboard has a slightly mushy feel, and pressing down keys seems to require some force. The keyboard spacing and layout are both excellent, though. The touchpad isn't overly sensitive, so your hovering palm won't send the pointer shooting across the screen. On the other hand, while the touchpad supports multitouch gestures, its gesture recognition wasn't particularly reliable.\nOverall, the Origin EON 17-S offers superb performance in general-purpose and media-authoring environments, and better-than-average performance in most games. It's pricey, though, at around $3400 as tested. For that amount of money, you get a system with lots of RAM, fast storage, and an impressive CPU. All of that makes up somewhat for the laptop's relatively undistinguished appearance and excess bulk.\nThis story, \"Origin EON 17-S: Big Performance, Big Price\" was originally published by PCWorld.",

        "raw_content": "Port Isaac by Bob Small\nBe inspired: \u2018motographer\u2019 wins prize for Port Isaac image\nThe winning shot was taken on a mobile phone by photographer Bob Small, and chosen by the South West Coast Path team from a shortlist of entrants who submitted their images via Social Media. The runner-up prize went to Nikki Theopil for her shot of walkers taking on a steep incline at Lulworth Ranges in Dorset, which was chosen by award leader of BA Photography at Falmouth University, Deborah Baker, who has worked with artists including Mary Ellen Mark and Robert Mapplethorpe.\nBob Small, a professional photographer who is better known for his more traditional landscape photographs of the Coast Path, said: \u201cI took this shot of Port Isaac on my iPhone using the panorama function, then I used a \u2018tilt shift\u2019 app to give the focus effect that makes the view look model-like. I always take shots with a phone while I\u2019m out and about as it geo-tags the location and it\u2019s also something I can share straight away on social media.\u201d\nMark Owen, South West Coast Path National Trail Officer, says: \u201cThe trend for mobile phone photography, or \u2018motography\u2019 as it has become known, is becoming more popular as a result of the improved quality of smart phone cameras and the availability of picture orientated social media apps. Mobile devices actually account for 25 per cent of the digital photos taken these days \u2013 so we wanted to reflect that and encourage people to get out and about on the Coast Path and capture not just the spectacular view but points of interest along the way. It was hard to pick a winner but this photo immediately caught our eye as it has a quirky, almost surreal quality to it.\u201d\nDeborah Baker, from Falmouth University, chose the runner-up for its \u2018different aspect of the Coast Path away from the sea\u2019. \u201cThe hikers appear very determined, stoically climbing what must be a steep incline due to the angle of their bodies,\u201d she says. \u201cThe sky is a strong colour and the clouds are very distinct. I also enjoyed the windswept terrain and thought it was very typical without being overtly romantic.\u201d\nThis is the first year the competition has run and it complements the prestigious annual South West Coast Path landscape photography competition, which attracts high-quality contributions from both amateurs and professionals alike. It\u2019s not too late to enter as the deadline is 31 December 2013.\nTo find out more about the South West Coast Path Photo Competition and for details of this year\u2019s judge Ben Osborne\u2019s Wildlife and Nature photography masterclass, visitsouthwestcoastpath.com/photo-competition",

        "raw_content": "Maryland Judiciary Creates Access to Justice Department\n(ANNAPOLIS, Md., September 15, 2014) Maryland Court of Appeals Chief Judge Mary Ellen Barbera today announced the creation of the Access to Justice Department within the Judiciary. The new department will work to develop, consolidate, coordinate, and implement policy initiatives to expand access to and enhance the quality of justice in civil legal matters. The Access to Justice Department will be headed by Pamela Cardullo Ortiz. For the past seven years, Ortiz has served as executive director of the Maryland Access to Justice Commission, which will end in its current form on December 31. It is anticipated that a new entity external to the Judiciary will be created in the future.\n\u201cI commend Judge Irma Raker for her superb leadership as chair of the Access to Justice Commission over the past seven years,\u201d said Chief Judge Barbera. \u201cIt is because of the extraordinary success of the commission that we are creating a permanent Access to Justice Department. The commission\u2019s work relates directly to a core function of Maryland\u2019s court operations. The department will continue to support and advance access to justice innovations within the Judiciary, and help assure that access to justice for everyone in Maryland remains a top priority. Additionally, I look forward to the department collaborating with a new external access to justice partner.\u201d\nThe Judiciary\u2019s Access to Justice Department will include the existing Court Interpreter Program, which will allow the new department to focus on a range of access to justice initiatives within the Judiciary, including language access. In the wake of institutionalizing the court-based initiatives that have been generated by the commission, the creation of this department represents a significant commitment on the part of the Judiciary to continue and expand on those into the future. As part of restructuring the Judiciary\u2019s internal governance, Chief Judge Barbera envisions a new committee comprised of judges and other judiciary personnel charged with supporting and advancing access to justice innovations.\n\u201dMy work as chair of the Access to Justice Commission has been a wonderful experience and has improved access to justice for the people of Maryland,\u201d said Judge Raker (ret.). \u201cOne major accomplishment has been bringing together Maryland\u2019s diverse, superb legal services community to collaborate and develop a shared vision for access to justice.\u201d\n\u201cI am grateful for the work we were able to accomplish through the Maryland Access to Justice Commission. I look forward to continuing that work through this new department,\u201d Ortiz said. \u201cAfter all that the commission has accomplished, we see this as an opportunity to take this work to the next level.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "RUMBLINGS: Hospital buzz hints at 'big announcement'\nCould Garden City Hospital be the next independent to join a larger health system to prepare for health reform?\nHospital sources are buzzing about phone calls they have received over the past two weeks from Juniper Advisory LLC informing them that the 323-bed hospital has retained the Chicago-based management firm to develop a request for proposals for the osteopathic teaching hospital.\nJuniper and Garden City officials aren't confirming anything. But sources and a hospital employee say they have received information from management that a \"big announcement\" is coming in the next few weeks.\nGarden City has been rumored to be up for sale for more than two years.\nHospital CEO Gary Ley told Crain's in an email last week that the board of the hospital has been reviewing options for more than five years.\n\"We have talked with other health care systems and strategic consultants, but the board believes these discussions and considerations belong in the boardroom until there is a reason to discuss things publicly,\" Ley said.\nIf Garden City does sell or affiliate, a logical partner is Dearborn-based Oakwood Healthcare, sources say. Juniper officials declined to discuss possible negotiations.\nNight light in Highland Park\nEntrepreneur A.J. O'Neil has launched a fundraising effort to help get the lights back in a portion of Highland Park.\nO'Neil launched the \"Soulardarity\" campaign on the crowdfunding site Indiegogo.com two weeks ago to raise $6,250 for a solar-powered streetlight and its installation.\nAs of last week, he'd raised only about half the money needed through the website, but he was able to get the light installed ahead of schedule because of private donations made outside the Web campaign and by borrowing money from family.\n\"I must have made 600 emails and phone calls,\" he said. \"I didn't get unfriended by anyone, so I guess I did OK.\"\nWhen fully charged, the LED light can shine for six nights, O'Neil said, helped by sensors that turn it on only when it is dark outside.\nThe light is on Victor Street, a block south of the original Ford Model T plant.\nThe campaign doesn't end with the one light. The goal is to set up a nonprofit called the Highland Park Solar Streetlight Initiative, which would fund at least 20 more solar-powered streetlights in the first year, and eventually raise $1 million to pay for 200 lights in the city. Many of the city's lights went dark due to unpaid electric bills.\nDTE Energy Co. removed 1,300 streetlights -- poles included -- last year as part of a settlement with Highland Park over $4 million in unpaid energy bills, said Scott Simons, DTE senior media relations specialist. DTE left 300 lights in place and installed 200 new ones, for a total of 500 in the city.\nLions branch out to state\nThe Detroit Lions want fans to buy real Michigan-grown Christmas trees, and unveiled a 21-foot concolor fir at Ford Field during Thursday's game against the Houston Texans as part of a promotional campaign.\nThe team's community development program is working with the Howell-based Michigan Christmas Tree Association to promote the trade group's \"Make it a Real Michigan Christmas\" campaign aimed at encouraging people to buy fresh Michigan Christmas trees and poinsettias.\nThe Ford Field tree, festooned in Honolulu blue and silver d\u0201;cor to reflect the team colors, will be on display inside Gate G on the concourse level throughout the holidays, the team said in a statement. The tree is from Dutchman Tree Farms in Manton, near Traverse City.\nMichigan ranks third in the U.S. in the number of trees harvested and is first in Christmas tree varieties, the team said.\nThe Christmas tree campaign is led by the Michigan Christmas Tree Association, the Michigan Floriculture Growers Association, Michigan Floral Association and Michigan State University. Details are at RealMichiganChristmas.com.\n\u2022 Detroit native Tammy Tedesco, founder of Detroit-based Edibles Rex Management Services, was named one of the 11 winners of Ernst & Young's 2012 Entrepreneurial Winning Women program, a national competition that annually identifies high-potential female entrepreneurs for high-level executive leadership training.

Postmodernism\nAs a designer, inspiration can come from anywhere. But sometimes influences, attitudes and approaches converge to form a coherent movement that has a knock-on effect around the world.\nThere have been hundreds of art and design movements of different sizes and significances over the centuries \u2013 some centred on the style or approach of a particular collective of artists in a particular place, others spanning many creative disciplines, and much more organic in terms of interpretation.\nWhether they happened 150 years ago or 30 years ago, the impact of many of these is still felt today \u2013 you may even have felt their influence without knowing it. These things often move in cycles, particularly with the contemporary trend for retro aesthetics. So a little knowledge of art history goes a long way.\nLike the 25 names every graphic designer should know, there are certain art and design movements that creatives need to be familiar with. Read on for our comprehensive guide to 15 of the most influential art and design movements of the 20th century.\nWe've put these in chronological order, with the examples on page 2 and page 3 most relevant to graphic designers, and those on this page and page 2 likely to inspire more artists and illustrators. Use the quick links menu to jump straight to the section you'd like to explore first, or scroll on to read them in order.\n01. Impressionism and Post-Impressionism\nSunset on the River at Lavacourt, Winter Effect (1882) demonstrates Claude Monet's talent for capturing light and colour\nDeveloping primarily in France during the late 19th century, Impressionism was a fine art movement in which a small group of painters eschewed the then-traditional emphasis on historical or mythological subject matter in favour of depicting visual reality, and particularly the transient nature of light, colour and texture.\nSeven painters were at the core of this hugely influential movement: Claude Monet, Pierre Auguste Renoir, Camille Pissarro, Alfred Sisley, Berthe Morisot, Armand Guillaumin and Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Bazille \u2013 and worked and exhibited together.\nThe Impressionists abandoned the established palette of muted greens, browns and greys for their landscapes in favour of a much brighter, expressive range of colours in an attempt to depict conditions such as dappled sunlight, and reflections on rippled water.\nInstead of greys and blacks for shadows, they used a whole range of complementary colours \u2013 and objects were depicted using dabs of paint rather than defined with a hard outline.\nAn icon of the Post-Impressionist style: Paul Cezanne's Still Life, Pitcher and Fruit (1894)\nPost-Impressionism embraced many of the tenets of its predecessor movement, whilst also rejecting some of its limitations. Painters such as Paul C\u00e9zanne, Georges Seurat, Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec used similarly pure, brilliant colour palettes and expressive, short brush strokes, but also sought to elevate the work to something less transient and experimental.\nRather than ever-changing conditions of natural light and its effect on colour, Cezanne and the other Post-Impressionists focussed more on solid, permanent objects, with still-life paintings \u2013 such as Cezanne's Pitcher and Fruit, and van Gogh's Sunflowers \u2013 emblematic of the movement.\nWilliam Morris' famous Strawberry Thief wallpaper is a perfect example of the Arts and Crafts aesthetic\nAs a reaction to the rise of mass production (and corresponding decline of artisan craftsmanship) during the Industrial Revolution, there was a resurgence of interest in decorative arts across Europe in the second half of the 19th century \u2013 fittingly known as the Arts and Crafts movement.\nAt the vanguard of this new movement was reformer, poet and designer William Morris, who formed a collective of collaborators in the 1860s to try to reawaken the handcrafted quality of the medieval period. They produced beautiful metalwork, jewellery, wallpaper, textiles and books.\nBy 1875, this collective became known as Morris and Company, and by the 1880s the attitude and techniques they practiced had inspired a whole new generation of designers, and the Arts and Crafts movement was born.\nWhile many criticised the practicality of such intricate handicrafts in the modern, industrialised world, the influence of the movement endures to this day.\nDetail from House for an Art Lover in Glasgow, designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh in 1901 but only constructed in the 1990s\nFollowing on from the Arts and Crafts movement, Art Nouveau was a primarily ornamental movement in both Europe and the USA. One distinctive characteristic of the style is the use of organic, asymmetrical line work instead of solid, uniform shapes \u2013 applied across architecture, interiors and jewellery, as well as posters and illustration.\nIntricate ironwork, stained glass, ceramics and ornamental brickwork were used expressively, with freeform lines taking precedence over any pictorial elements in the designs, which were often inspired by delicate forms found in nature, such as flower stems, vines, creepers, tendrils and insect wings.\nScottish architect and designer Charles Rennie Mackintosh was a leading exponent of the Art Nouveau movement, as well as Czech graphic artist Alphonse Mucha, and iconic Spanish architect and sculptor Antonio Gaud\u00ed \u2013 whose magnum opus, Barcelona's La Sagrada Fam\u00edlia, has famously been under construction for more than 130 years.\nThis striking Art Nouveau artwork by Alphonse Mucha was used to promote printing firm F. Champenois\nMucha's stunning artworks, many of which were commercial commissions for advertising clients, combined the flowing organic lines and natural motifs of the Art Nouveau style with sensual portraits of women.\nWhile the decorative style fell out of fashion after 1910, it saw a resurgence in the 1960s thanks to a series of major exhibitions in London, Paris and New York, which retrospectively helped elevate a style once seen as a passing fad to the status of an international movement that influenced fashion, music design and advertising.\nPablo Picasso's 1907 work Les Demoiselles d'Avignon is arguably the most famous example of Cubism\nTwo artists were instrumental in founding the Cubist movement: Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. Unlike the expressive attempts to capture natural conditions in Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, Cubism was about flat, two-dimensional, distorted objects \u2013 sacrificing accurate perspective in favour of surreal fragmentation.\nThe name came from a disparaging remark by art critic Louis Vauxcelles, who described Braque\u2019s 1908 work Houses at L\u2019Estaque as being \"composed of cubes\". But it was Picasso's Les Demoiselles d\u2019Avignon, painted the previous year, that set the wheels in motion, depicting five female nudes as fractured, angular shapes.\nAs Braque and Picasso continued to explore how abstract shapes could be used to define familiar objects, the period from 1910-1912 is often referred to as Analytical Cubism. A distinctive palette of tan, brown, grey, cream, green and blue prevailed, and common subjects included musical instruments, bottles, newspapers, and the human body.\nPost-1912 this evolved into Synthetic Cubism, where multiple forms are combined within the increasingly colourful artworks, which made use of collage techniques to explore texture. The visual language defined by Braque and Picasso was later embraced by many other painters, and also influenced sculptors and architects such as Le Corbusier.\nDepicting the sensations derived from observing modern life, Umberto Boccioni's The Laugh (1911) is widely considered his first truly Futurist work\nFounded in Italy in the early 20th century, Futurism attempted to capture the pace, vitality and restlessness of modern life through highly expressive artwork that ultimately glorified war, Fascism and the machine age. The aesthetic style would later spread across Europe, and notably into Russia.\nThe movement was officially announced in 1909 when Parisian newspaper Le Figaro published a manifesto by Italian poet Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, who coined the term to describe how his work celebrated social progress and cultural innovation.\nCutting-edge technology such as the automobile was put on a pedestal, while traditional values \u2013 and historical institutions such as museums and libraries \u2013 were aggressively repudiated.\nBombardamento Aereo, by Tullio Crali (1932) is a late Futurist work that glorifies the speed and mechanics of aerial warfare\nTwo of the leading proponents of Futurism, Umberto Boccioni and Antonio Sant'Elia, were killed in combat in 1916. However, the aesthetic would go on to be expressed in modern architecture, as visions of mechanised cities defined by towering skyscrapers became a reality, while artists such as Tullio Crali kept the style going into the 1930s.\nNext page: Mid-20th century art and design movements\nCurrent page: Early 20th century artistic movements\nNext Page Mid 20th century art and design movements\nSee more Essential Tips inspiration",

        "title": "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the (2014 SEC Government Small Business) Forum | Crowdfund Insider",
        "raw_content": "November 10, 2014 @ 7:27 am By Samuel Guzik\nAs one who has represented small and emerging growth companies over the past 36 years in navigating access to the capital markets, I have closely followed the legislative and regulatory developments in Washington, D.C. since the enactment of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the JOBS Act). Spurned by many factors, political, economic and technological, the JOBS Act represented a major breakthrough in capital market regulatory reform \u2013 one long overdue \u2013 80 years to be exact \u2013since the Securities Act of 1933 emerged in the post-depression era of the 1930\u2019s.\nSo too, the JOBS Act was a silver lining in the economic cloud that hung over our economy since the bubble exploded in 2008.\nThough the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010 was a politically inspired (gag) reflex to the Great Recession in a Democratically controlled Congress, it did little to help the average business or investor \u2013 let alone job creation. And it certainly was not the type of kitchen table issue that garners votes in an election year. Hence, in a rare display of overwhelming bi-partisan support the JOBS Act was born in 2012 \u2013 a grab bag for businesses, large and small alike. And to the extent the JOBS Act provisions have since been implemented, there has been nothing but good news for the U.S. financial community.\nTitle I of the JOBS Act, the \u201cIPO On Ramp,\u201d has already shown tangible results. Witness the resurgence in the IPO markets, particularly in the biotech area \u2013 which has suffered amidst a financial draught in the public markets for many years. However, the remaining provisions, Title II (general solicitation for private placements), Title III (retail crowdfunding), and Title IV (popularly referred to as Regulation A +) were slower out of the starting gate.\nTitle II \u2013 Despite a JOBS Act mandate that the SEC promulgate rules within 90 days of the enactment of the JOBS Act, more than a full year passed before the Commission issued final enabling rules. Though many in the industry are first getting their feet wet with this new way of doing business, and admittedly there are some wrinkles to be ironed out, the reception has generally been positive, and there is a growing consensus that what is known as Rule 506(c) has earned itself a permanent place on Wall Street. Witness areas such as real estate where the on-line world provides an efficient mechanism for investor due diligence, and syndication has long been a part of the historical real estate landscape.\nThe remaining JOBS Act provisions, however, have yet to even leave the starting gate \u2013 more than 2 \u00bd years after the enactment of the JOBS Act \u2013 thanks to the glacial speed of SEC rulemaking. Meanwhile, many Republicans in the House of Representatives, notably Congressman Patrick McHenry, have been busy introducing \u201cfix-it\u201d bills in the House Financial Services Committee, to further expand Titles II, III and IV. Most have been voted out of Committee on a straight party line vote, but have languished on the Hill in view of a Democratically controlled Senate.\nThe last time Congress came together on comprehensive legislative reform aimed at reducing the regulatory burden on small and emerging companies was back in 1980. As with the JOBS Act, these initiatives had broad bi-partisan support. Out of one of these bills came a mandate to the SEC: Every year it was to hold an annual forum, bringing together representatives from the SEC and the states, and stakeholders in the small business community, to address capital formation issues in need of regulatory reform.\nA stated purpose of the SEC Forum was set forth in the SEC\u2019s 2013 Forum Report:\n\u201cA major purpose of the Forum is to provide a platform to highlight perceived unnecessary impediments to small business capital formation and address whether they can be eliminated or reduced. Each Forum seeks to develop recommendations for government and private action to improve the environment for small business capital formation, consistent with other public policy goals, including investor protection.\u201d\nSo how has that been working out? Well, it depends who you ask.\nThe last person at the SEC to go on record on the subject was Keith Higgins, Director, SEC Division of Corporation Finance \u2013 in response to questioning at an oversight hearing held on July 24, 2014, before the House Financial Services Committee. When asked what happens to recommendations made by SEC Small Business Forum participants, his answer:\nThey are \u201cpresented to the Commission.\u201d And when queried as to why recent SEC Forum recommendations have not been acted upon by the Commission, his response: None of the recommendations were given a \u201chigh\u201d priority \u2013 instead all of the Forum recommendations were given a \u201cmedium\u201d or \u201clow\u201d priority by Forum participants. Though I admired Mr. Higgins for the alacrity in which he answered (dodged) the question, perhaps from a script borrowed from his predecessors, one familiar with the official rating scale used by the Commission to prioritize Forum recommendations, on a 1-5 arithmetically weighted scale, it is almost mathematically impossible for any proposal to achieve a \u201chigh\u201d rating.\nA look back at the track record of Forum recommendations going back to at least the 1990\u2019s, available for public viewing on the SEC\u2019s website, shows that for the most part well intentioned recommendations have been routinely ignored by the Commission. And those few recommendations which have been implemented were largely the result of Congressional action.\nHence, in my opinion the history of the annual gathering known as the SEC Small Business Forum has been more reflective of Ground Hog Day. However, recent events suggest that this year\u2019s Forum on November 20 and its aftermath may prove to be different \u2013 and could be a lightning rod for long overdue Congressional and SEC SME regulatory reform in 2015\nSo What\u2019s Changed? Plenty\nPerhaps of greatest significance, the House of Representatives (colored Red), now has a Senate with matching colors, courtesy of the American electorate on November 4. In fact, this is huge. Until now, well intentioned bills improving and expanding upon all of the JOBS Act titles have been stalled in the House of Representatives. Until now there was no way to even get a companion bill\nintroduced in the Senate in a sharply divided, and Democratically controlled Senate. That will change in January 2015 when the Committee Chairmanship of the Senate Banking Committee is handed over to veteran Alabama Senator Richard Shelby, and control over introduction of bills on the Senate floor is wrestled from Democrat Harry Reid.\nAnd for those who think I have been smoking something, well it looks as though the pipe has been passed to none other than Jeb Hensarling, Chair of the House Financial Services Committee. Even before all of the votes had been counted on Election Day 2014, he issued a statement in which he could barely contain his glee, reading in part:\n\u201cAs Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, I look forward to working with Republicans and Democrats alike to promote economic growth by fostering the deepest, most liquid, competitive, efficient, innovative and transparent capital markets the world has ever seen.\u201d\nLook for similar statements from the Senate Banking Committee by time the 114th Congress convenes in January.\nAnd what about that man in the White House yielding veto power. Well, leave that to what I call the \u201cL Factor\u201d \u2013 \u201cL\u201d as in legacy. Undoubtedly President Obama\u2019s focus will be on polishing up some of his signature legislation which is capable of garnering bi-partisan support. No, not The Affordable Care Act. And certainly not new initiatives such as immigration reform. Nothing attracts more votes than that three letter word- jobs. And though some of the more thorny initiatives may get caught short of the 60 Senate votes necessary to avoid a filibuster, many Democrats in Congress will undoubtedly be more concerned about their own jobs \u2013 and earning the good will of their local constituents come 2016.\nThe idea that post-JOBS Act legislation would be President Obama\u2019s best legacy candidate was first floated to me in private months ago by JOBS Act industry pioneer and thought leader Kim Wales, founder of Wales Capital and Executive Board Member of Crowdfunding Intermediary Regulatory Advocates (CFIRA). With Congress now turning bright Red on Election Day, I think she has hit the nail on the head.\nSigns of Change are Already Upon Us\nGood ideas without the right voices speaking up at the right time and in the right places are of little value. However, against the backdrop of what many anticipated would be a much needed solution to Congressional gridlock, there are a number of harbingers of change already in motion.\nRecent Appointments of Two JOBS Act Pioneers and Industry Advocates to a Previously Dormant SEC Advisory Committee\nA few rays of sunshine have already broken through the clouds over Washington in the past two months alone. The SEC\u2019s Advisory Committee on Small and Emerging Companies, formed in 2011, and dormant since September 2013, saw a spark of life the other week when it was reported that SEC Chair White had appointed CFIRA co-founder DJ Paul to the Committee. And Sara Hanks, a\nveteran securities attorney who has been active in advancing the JOBS Act legislation, and founder and CEO of CrowdCheck, a third party due diligence provider formed to support both JOBS Act Title II and Title III crowd finance platforms, has disclosed her recent appointment by Chair White to the Advisory Committee as well.\nNot only does it appear that this Committee is about to come out of hibernation, but coupled with the recent appointments of DJ Paul and Sara Hanks to the Committee, this signals a recognition by the Commission of the need to pay closer attention to the importance of capital formation for SME\u2019s. It also may be viewed as tangible evidence that the Commission is not tone deaf to the changed political landscape which was ultimately ushered in on Election Day 2014.\nSome at the Commission are Speaking Out for Small Business \u2013 Loudly\nAnd then there was a major address by Commissioner Daniel M. Gallagher at The Heritage Foundation in September 2014, entitled \u201cWhat Ever Happened to Small Business Capital Formation,\u201d a must read for anyone interested in invigorating the capital markets for SME\u2019s. Commissioner Gallagher outlined a broad, ambitious agenda to revitalize the capital markets for small and emerging growth businesses, noting the neglected place that small business has long occupied in Washington. In presenting his proposed agenda he made it clear that there was much work ahead for both Congress and the Commission, not the least of which was moving along the stalled SEC rulemaking under Title III and IV, and proposing additional legislative fixes which he urged the SEC to publicly support. And in implicit recognition of the historical irrelevancy of both the SEC Small Business Forum and the SEC Advisory Committee on Small and Emerging Companies, he called for the establishment of a new office at the SEC to take the reins, one housing a small business advocate, a counterpart to the SEC Office of Investor Advocacy mandated by the Dodd-Frank Act.\n\u201c . . . just as the Investor Advocate now runs the Investor Advisory Committee, the Small Business Advocate could take charge of the SEC\u2019s Advisory Committee on Small and Emerging Companies and the Government-Business Forum, an incredibly important group that does not have the profile it deserves at the Commission.\u201d\nClearly this was a carefully timed call to action to SME stakeholders at the venerable conservative Think Tank, The Heritage Foundation, in anticipation of a changed political landscape in Washington.\nAnd then there are tangible signs that the small business Forum crowd which attends the Annual SEC Forum is no longer content to simply come, listen and \u2013 and then leave with platitudes and empty pockets. This year\u2019s Forum is bookended by two private events keying off the SEC\u2019s Small Business Forum, both of which appear intended to give much needed vitality to the event which goes beyond a one day event and, more importantly, its mission.\nLeading off is the inaugural Growth Capital Summit at The National Press Club on the afternoon of November 19, denominated as \u201cA Primer for Professionals and Press Ahead of the SEC\u2019s Government-Business Forum on Small Business Capital Formation.\u201d Included amongst the Faculty for the Event, besides myself, are:\nDavid Lynn, former Chief Counsel at the SEC Division of Corporation Finance \u2013 now a partner at the law firm of Morrison & Foerster.\nDavid Burton, Senior Fellow For Economic Policy at The Heritage Foundation, and recently the General Counsel for the National Small Business Association.\nDJ Paul, co-founder of the leading JOBS Act Advocacy group, CFIRA, and recent appointee to the SEC Advisory Committee on Small and Emerging Companies\nChris Tyrrell, current Chair of CFIRA and CEO of Offerboard, a major Rule 506 platform.\nSara Hanks, JOBS Act pioneer, founder and CEO of CrowdCheck, and recent appointee to the SEC Advisory Committee on Small and Emerging Companies\nGeorgia Quinn, a securities attorney and thought leader active in the post-JOBS Act arena, recently being distinguished as a \u201cTop NY Female Attorney.\u201d\nAnd on the morning following the SEC Forum CFIRA is sponsoring its second Regulatory Summit, focusing on Title III and Title IV issues, among others. No coincidence that it is being held in the Hart Senate Office Building. According to a CFIRA Press Release:\nAttendees will network with fellow crowdfunding advocates, members of Congress, policymakers and industry thought leaders. The event\u2019s half-day agenda will include a keynote address and span three core panels:\nPost-Election Review of Outcomes and How it Could Affect Regulations\nCrowdfinance Data\nTitle III and Title IV Regulatory and Industry Updates\nIncluded among the confirmed panelists are DJ Paul, David Burton, Douglas Ellenoff of Ellenoff Grossman and Schole, a prominent New York securities attorney who has been a leading advocate for JOBS Act implementation, CFIRA Chair Chris Tyrrell, and Daniel Gorfine, Director of Financial Policy and Legal Counsel at the Milken Institute.\nSo it seems that, with a new Congress set to convene in January, the Forum\u2019s impact will extend beyond a routine one day event. Rather, the Forum week in D.C. is expected to serve as both a call to action by those able and willing to have a hand in moving the interests of SME\u2019s forward, as well as highlighting issues which will serve as a blueprint for post-JOBS Act legislative reform in 2015.\nStrong Post-JOBS Act Headwinds for SME\u2019s are About to Dissipate\nContrast the regulatory environment in post-Election 2014 DC with the regulatory environment only months following the signing of the JOBS Act into law \u2013 with both the House and Senate firmly in the control of the Democratic Party.\nFor those of you who believe that the delay in final rulemaking for Regulation A+ and Title III crowdfunding is a by-product of an overburdened Commission \u2013 think again. There are powerful groups in Washington, D.C. who until now have largely had their way, both in Congress and at the SEC, when it comes to implementing post-JOBS Act rulemaking and reform \u2013 most notably the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA). Don\u2019t take my word for it \u2013 just take a look at the SEC\u2019s final rulemaking calendar and the cold, hard record since the JOBS Act was enacted \u2013 the Congressional Record that is.\nFor starters, check out the testimony of then NASAA President A. Heath Abshure, before the House Subcommittee on Capital Markets, on September 13, 2012, barely five months after the JOBS Act was signed into law.\nThe title of his formal statement before the Subcommittee seemed hopeful:\n\u201cThe JOBS Act: The Importance of Prompt Implementation for Entrepreneurs, Capital Formation, and Job Creation.\u201d\nWell, if there was ever a book that ought not to have been judged by its cover, this is IT. After opening his statement with the usual prefatory remarks this NASAA President wasted no time in cutting to the chase:\n\u201cwe note that many of the rulemakings required by the Dodd-Frank Act are long overdue. We have encouraged the SEC to prioritize its investor-protection rules ahead of the exemptions in the JOBS Act, and we urge Congress not to pressure the SEC to act hastily.\u201d\nReally? Did he mean the 100 or so rules left by Dodd-Frank to the SEC, which the Commission has publicly stated on more than one occasion will take until at least 2019 to write?\nWe are well aware that the Commission overshot the 90 day Congressional deadline for Title II rulemaking to implement Rule 506(c) general solicitation for accredited investor private placements \u2013 by more than one year. And judging by the calendar it seems that NASAA is well on its way to accomplishing its SEC JOBS Act rulemaking \u201chold\u201d as far as Title III and Title IV rulemaking are concerned.\nAnd then, there was the four person NASAA \u201cteam\u201d introduced by Mr. Abshure to work with the SEC on JOBS Act implementation. One of the team members, then Deputy General Counsel Rick Fleming, has since managed to land himself a job at the SEC in February 2014 \u2013 as the first Chief of the newly formed Office of Investor Advocate. Undoubtedly Mr. Fleming has had some involvement in the Title III and IV rulemaking \u2013 on both sides of the fence at 100 \u201cF\u201d Street.\nSome Well Timed Words from a Former SEC Commissioner\nI conclude with the words of former SEC Commissioner Troy Paredes at a recent meeting I attended as a member of the one year old Heritage Foundation Securities Regulation Working Group, Chaired by Senior Fellow David Burton. His words could not have been more timely:\n\u201cThe efforts of groups like Heritage [Foundation Securities Regulation Working Group] is important and can have an impact \u2013 advisory committees and thoughtful groups \u2013 it matters to [the SEC] Staff and Commissioners \u2013 thoughtful and good ideas. The more voices . . . that much greater chance for there to be momentum and get traction.\u201d\nIn closing, some words of wisdom for us all:\n\u201cBe the change you wish to see in the world.\u201d Mahatma Ghandi\nCrowdfunding Counselor Sam Guzik, A Voice Galvanizing & Advocating for the Crowd\nCommissioner Gallagher Delivers Incomplete Report Card to SEC; Derides Nanny State Protection\nSmall Business SEC Regulatory Reform in Washington, DC: \u201cAll in on Red\u201d on Election Day 2014\nSEC Commissioner Gallagher Tackles Profound Need to Aid Small Business Capital Formation\nSEC Director of Corporate Finance Talks JOBS Act in Speech\nThis entry was posted in Featured Headlines, Opinion, Politics, Legal & Regulation and tagged cfira, daniel gallagher, david burton, heritage foundation, jobs act, keith higgins, kim wales, regulations, sam guzik, sec, title i, title II, title III, title iv, troy paredes.

It assists the user by providing a rigorous, transparent and accountable materials management system.\n\u201cCSA Group is proud to contribute to a more sustainable future with best practices that promote the reduction of waste,\u201d said Gianluca Arcari, Executive Director, Standards and Vice President, CSA Group. \u201cThe new guideline allows organizations to move to a more circular economy where resources are reused to optimal potential, creating further value and helping the environment at the same time.\u201d\nEnd-of-Life material management is an approach that looks at practical measures to reduce the amount of waste produced and new materials used. The idea is that products have a \u201cprimary\u201d life but maximum value can be recovered by reusing, repairing, recovering or recycling for further use, with the ultimate goal of achieving high resource efficiency, zero waste and zero emissions.\nThe Guideline was developed with the support of the Ontario Waste Management Association and is intended to provide direction for service providers responsible for management of EOL materials as well as waste generators. It offers guidance to help reduce negative environmental impacts of waste management practices and promotes environmental performance and innovation within a consistent reporting and accountability structure.\nTo purchase a copy of CSA SPE-890 go to www.shop.csa.ca",

In most gun homicides of black children, the assailant was also black. Pictured: Members of Black Lives Matter at the Unite the Right 2 rally in Washington, D.C., on Aug. 13, 2018. (Photo: J.M. Giordano/SOPA Images/LightRocket/Getty Images)\nArmstrong Williams / @Arightside\nArmstrong Williams is a columnist for The Daily Signal and host of \"The Armstrong Williams Show,\" a nationally syndicated TV program.\nSocial media rang with righteous indignation over the senseless killing of Jazmine Barnes, who was shot and killed while riding in a car along with her mother and three sisters on a Texas highway on Dec. 30.\nThe gunman, who was identified as a white man, allegedly drove a red pickup truck and fired upon the Barnes family seemingly randomly and without any provocation. A picture quickly emerged of a racist murderer on the loose, hell-bent on killing innocent black children.\nAll of the usual alarms were triggered. New York Daily News writer Shaun King, a leader of the Black Lives Matter movement, who was made famous in the aftermath of the Ferguson, Missouri, protests, rushed to tweet out accusations about the alleged suspect, a man named Robert Cantrell.\nKing, who has 1 million twitter followers, posted Cantrell\u2019s mug shot and wrote, \u201cWe\u2019ve had 20 people call or email us and say he is a racist, violent (expletive) and always has been. Just tell me everything you know.\u201d\nTips began to pour in to King, who forwarded them to police. One of those tips ultimately led to the arrest of two suspects, both of whom turned out to be African-American males.\nBut in the days immediately preceding the arrests, Black Lives Matter activists quickly mobilized in Houston, holding rallies and vigils and decrying the racist slaying of an innocent girl.\nCelebrities like former NBA All-Star player Shaquille O\u2019Neal also got in on the act, promising to donate money to cover Jazmine\u2019s funeral expenses.\nHouston Texans\u2019 star wide receiver, DeAndre Hopkins, promised to take the field in Jazmine\u2019s honor, after tweeting, \u201cWhen I see Jazmine Barnes\u2019 face, I see my own daughter.\u201d Hopkins, who is himself the father of a 5-year-old daughter, announced he\u2019d be donating his entire game check to assist with funeral costs and support the reward fund for information leading the suspects\u2019 capture.\nProminent Dallas civil rights attorney Lee Merritt also joined the case, primarily due to his belief (based on the initial description of the suspect) that the shooting was racially motivated.\n\u201cThat\u2019s why I was brought on,\u201d Merritt told The Washington Post last week. \u201cWe want to emphasize the racial nature of the attack and that hate crime charges are appropriate.\u201d\nMerritt\u2019s statement begs the question, of course: Aren\u2019t most murders, by definition, crimes of hatred?\nWhen, on Monday, the new suspect was arrested and it appeared the motive was not race-related, the hoopla immediately died down. Gone was the righteous indignation on social media. No more celebrity attorneys announced they were interested in the case.\nSadly, this appeared to be just another case of black-on-black crime. Apparently, this was merely a case of two young black criminals who may have shot at the Barnes\u2019 vehicle because they mistakenly identified the occupants\u2014a mistake in judgment apparently fueled by drugs. Nothing to see here.\nIn a week, Jazmine\u2019s case is likely to fade from public discourse. Hopefully, the tens of thousands of dollars pledged to the Barnes family by O\u2019Neal, Hopkins, and others will actually make it to their intended recipients. That remains to be seen.\nAlthough you would not know it from the media coverage, Jazmine is not the first black child to die because of senseless gun violence in the past year. In fact, of the over 1,300 child deaths by gun violence in 2018, more than 4 in 10 deaths were black children. Black children are, in fact, 10 times more likely to die of gun violence than white children. Furthermore, in most gun homicides of black children, the assailant was also black.\nWhere, one wonders, is the outrage over the nearly 500 black children killed by guns last year? How many of those names have even made it to the national media? Is each of their lives less important because a black person took them?\nIt seems that in all too many cases, black lives don\u2019t matter unless they are taken by a white person. We almost never hear about the thousands of senseless murders of blacks by blacks.\nBut when the suspected killer is a white person, well, of course, that\u2019s news. All of a sudden, there is an outcry of support and care and concern and activism. The murder unfailingly makes the evening news. Prognosticators are ready on the draw with the usual platitudes and complaints and inferences about America\u2019s worsening racial climate.\nThe troubling narrative that emerges from the grossly disproportionate treatment of the relatively isolated instances of violence deemed \u201cracially motivated\u201d versus the virtual sea of other crimes not deemed tainted by race begs the question: Is the only reason we even know about Jazmine Barnes because people believe she was killed by a white man?\nAnd that question begs another question: When black children are being murdered in absolutely horrific proportions, mostly at the hands of other black people, do black lives actually matter to black people? Or do they only matter when someone white kills them?",

        "raw_content": "Therapeutic Drug Repurposing, Repositioning and Rescue Part I: Overview\nBy Dr Stephen Naylor & Judge M. Schonfeld\nThe pharmaceutical industry is still beleaguered by escalating costs, stagnant productivity and protracted timelines as it struggles to bring therapeutic drugs to market. This situation has been compounded by a ravenous generic drug sector, and patients that have morphed into a discerning consumer population.\nThe growing interest, activity and productivity in Drug Repurposing, Drug Repositioning and Drug Rescue (DRPx) appears to offer some encouragement in finding solutions to the myriad of problems the pharmaceutical companies must overcome. Here we describe the current status of DRPx, discuss the emerging consensus on terminology and describe the tools, technologies and approaches utilised in DRPx.\nThis perspective is augmented by consideration of the companies that provide services and platform technologies for DRPx discovery and development, as well as examples of approved DRPx drugs currently on the market. We also discuss the value and challenges associated with undertaking DRPx and its impact on the pharmaceutical sector as well as patients and the healthcare system.\nThe litany of problems that beset the pharmaceutical industry continues unabated (1). The total cost of bringing a new drug to market was recently calculated at a staggering $2.558 billion (2).\nSome have argued that this is a gross over-estimation, and a more \u2018conservative\u2019 value is $1.778 billion (3)! The average time required from drug discovery to launch remains at an eye-watering 12-15 years (4). Approval of new chemical and biological entities, and hence a measure of productivity remains relatively static, but Research and Development (R&D) spending continues to climb (4-6).\nFurthermore, stratospheric risk is associated with bringing a drug to market. Initial screening of compound libraries (104-106), leads to a single compound that only has an ~8% chance of successfully traversing the clinical trials gauntlet (7). Even then, the value and quality of the end product has been questioned, with \u2018serious concerns raised about the industry\u2019s integrity and transparency involving safety and efficacy\u2019 (3).\nUnfortunately, the \u2018Wagon of Woe\u2019 for pharmaceutical companies does not end once a drug reaches market (8). Generic drugs continue to offer significant competition, and now capture ~70% of prescriptions written in the USA (3). Also, \u2018patent cliff\u2019 expirations (2001-2016) have been calculated to cost $245.5 billion in lost sales for the pharmaceutical industry to the generics market (9).\nFinally, there is a morphing landscape dictated by more stringent regulatory oversight, demands for mechanism-of-action-based drug discovery and development (DDD) and a patient population driven by the advent of personalised medicine and a consumer mentality (8,10). This has left the pharmaceutical sector scrambling for avenues of opportunity to minimise risk, reduce costs, and fill their pipelines with safe and efficacious candidate drugs.\nA series of endeavours that may deliver on addressing such needs include Drug Repurposing, Repositioning, and Rescue. These strategies, and others, have been used in order to combat the current limited productivity of the pharmaceutical industry, and they are all summarised in Figure 1.\nDrug Repurposing, also commonly referred to as Drug Repositioning or Drug Rescue, emerged primarily in the early 1990s as a viable alternative to conventional de novo DDD. The terminology (see below) usually refers to the process of identifying new indications for existing drugs, abandoned or shelved compounds and candidates under development. Barrett has noted that \u201cit is an attractive way to maximise return on prior and current preclinical and clinical investments in assets that were originally designed with different patient populations in mind\u201d (12).\nIn this article we focus on Drug Repurposing/Repositioning/Rescue (DRPx), and do not address drug reformulation, dosage, delivery mechanisms and combination therapies.\nDefinitions of drug repurposing, repositioning and rescue\nCurrently, DRPx endeavours play an increasing role in the DDD efforts of the pharmaceutical industry. It is estimated that the DRPx process accounts for more than 30% of new drugs and vaccines approved by the US FDA in recent years (13). In addition Aris Persidis, President and Co-Founder of BioVista, has calculated that DRPx now generates $500 Billion (~25% of annual revenue) for the pharmaceutical industry (14).\nThis impact has created a flurry of new activity and interest in DRPx. For example, a new journal dedicated to DRPx entitled Drug Repurposing, Repositioning & Rescue has just been launched (15), a book on the subject published (12), a series of annual conferences inaugurated (16) and a workshop sponsored by the Institute of Medicine (National Academy of Sciences) held in Washington DC last year (17).\nUnfortunately, the evolutionary process associated with a nascent and/or revitalised discipline is often embodied by chaos, confusion and circumlocution, as evidenced by the similarities experienced in the Biomarker (18) and Companion Diagnostic (19) sectors. Thus, as might be expected, the lexicon of this field is still in flux and there are competing, yet inconsistent \u2018synonyms\u2019 for Drug Repositioning that include Repurposing, Rescue, Retargeting and Reprofiling.\nMore recently there has been a concerted attempt to bring some ontological structure in this area (11,20). It is now suggested that Drug Repurposing should be used as a catch-all term that includes \u2018all the redevelopment strategies based on the same chemical structure of the therapeutically active ingredient as in the original product\u2019 (11).\nMucke has stated that \u201crepurposing describes the general concept of branching the development of an active pharmaceutical ingredient, at any stage of the life cycle and regardless of the success or misfortune it has encountered so far, to serve a therapeutic purpose that is significantly different from the originally intended one\u201d (20).\nDrug Repositioning is defined more specifically as the process of finding a new indication for an approved drug (20). If the pharmacological framework, such as the pathway or target is the same as for the original indication then it is referred to as On-Target Repositioning. Approximately 80% of Drug Repositioning efforts have occurred through this route. The more novel Off-Target Repositioning is used as the descriptor when the mechanism of action, pathway or target is different from the original indications (12,21).\nFinally, Drug Rescue refers to a system of developing new uses for chemical and biological entities that previously were investigated in clinical studies but not further developed nor submitted for regulatory approval, or had to be removed from the market for safety reasons (20).\nDRPx organisations and initiatives\nMost of the larger pharmaceutical companies continue to embrace DRPx efforts in either a formal or ad hoc manner. The one exception appears to be Merck. It remains cautious because of the experience with its NSAID Rofecoxib (brand name Vioxx).\nIn 2000-01 the company carried out a series of studies to determine if Rofecoxib was efficacious in slowing down the onset of Alzheimer\u2019s Disease, as well as preventing colon polyps (APPROVe Trial). In both these DRPx studies the drug manifested safety issues, including adverse cardiovascular events (APPROVe Trial only). Ultimately, this led to the withdrawal of the drug from the market in 2004 (22).\nIn contrast, other companies, such as Roche, view candidate compounds from a polypharmacological perspective as a potential treatment for multiple diseases. They start out with a rationale for a particular target, but will repurpose during the lifetime of the project if the data indicates a different direction should be taken (23). Roche formalised its DRPx approach by announcing an arrangement with the Broad Institute in 2012. It agreed to provide 300 of its failed compounds in order to let the Broad Institute screen them for potential new uses (24).\nOther large pharma companies that have dedicated internal resources to DRPx include Novartis (New Indications Discovery Unit), Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals (Common Mechanism Research group) and TEVA announced in 2013 the creation of its \u2018New Therapeutic Entity\u2019 initiative. Pfizer, on the other hand, recently closed its DRPx Indications Discovery Unit based in St Louis, but joined the National Center for Advanced Translational Sciences (NCATS) Therapeutic Discovery Program.\nThe NCATS initiative was launched in 2012 and was NIH funded to find new uses for therapeutic compounds shelved or abandoned by pharmaceutical companies. In this programme, eight pharmaceutical companies \u2013 AbbieVie, AstraZeneca, Bristol Myers Squibb, Lilly, GlaxoSmithKline, Sanofi-Aventis, Janssen and Pfizer \u2013 have collectively made 58 of their compounds available for DRPx.\nA similar initiative was announced by the Medical Research Council (MRC) in a partnership arrangement with AstraZeneca in the UK. This programme was expanded to include Cancer Research UK late last year and allows unprecedented access to AstraZeneca\u2019s compound library.\nA vibrant interest in DRPx has garnered substantial growth in this sector, and resulted in the emergence of a number of dedicated private corporations that are listed in Table 1.\nThese companies cover the gamut of capabilities and offer everything from consulting services, such as HM Pharma, to marketed drug products courtesy of NeXeption, SEEK Group and Sosei. Many of the companies listed in Table 1 provide fee-for-services, offer platform technologies (includes databases and/or technologies) for discovery and development in DRPx, and in some cases have their own pipeline of DRPx compounds.\nBioVista is one such company that offers and provides all of these competencies and is widely regarded as a pioneer of dedicated DRPx efforts. The company was founded in 1996 by the Persidis brothers, and has headquarters in both the USA (Charlottesville, Virginia) and Europe (Athens, Greece). It provides services to the pharmaceutical industry but also has a DRPx discovery platform entitled the Clinical Outcome Search Space (COSS).\nThis computational biology platform intelligently searches a database of pharmacologically active compounds, while simultaneously linking them with mechanism of action, adverse events and human target information. In addition the company has its own DRPx pipeline with candidate compounds in neurodegeneration, epilepsy, oncology and CNS disease.\nAnother company with a robust DRPx pipeline is Therametrics (Stans, Switzerland). It has 19 DRPx pipeline candidates, predicated on its \u2018unique bio-mathematical technology research platform\u2019 which utilises Graph- Network Theory. Based on business and regulatory considerations, they are primarily focused in Orphan Disease areas such as sarcoidosis and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, but also have compounds in clinical trials for COPD, Tuberculosis and excessive angiogenesis.\nMelior Discovery has taken a more conventional approach to DRPx utilising in vivo animal models to determine safety and efficacy of potential drug candidates. It employs approximately 45 validated animal models covering a wide range of disease states. The theraTRACE animal model platform was pivotal in the DRPx discovery of MLR-1023, an oral insulin sensitiser being developed for treatment of type II diabetes. Late last year the company announced that it had received FDA protocol approval for a Phase II trials and also its first milestone payments from its licensing partner Bukwang Pharmaceuticals (Seoul, South Korea).\nIn contrast, Transparency Life Sciences is taking a new, as yet unproven, approach to DRPx discovery and development. It sources its DRPx drug candidates \u201cfrom the hundreds of distressed clinical-stage compounds that have potential for rescue or repositioning\u201d.\nThe approach of the company is based on three principles of\ni) crowdsourcing-in order to enable all participant stakeholders to contribute to the design of the company\u2019s clinical trials\nii) leveraging advances in information technology and mobile health\niii) transparency throughout the development process to build credibility with diverse stakeholders.\nIt is attempting to develop a portfolio of drug candidates, retaining ownership stakes in each while soliciting foundations and government grants, crowdfunding, and other potential funding opportunities. At present it is evaluating Naltrexone in Crohn\u2019s disease; Lisinopril for multiple sclerosis; Pioglitazone in Parkinson\u2019s Disease, Metformin in prostate cancer and Kiacta in sarcoidosis.\nExperimental DRPx requires physical access to a collection of approved drugs. In the past this has created considerable obstacles to successful DRPx endeavours. Last year Kailash Biosciences opened its doors and currently offers \u201c480 Smart Compounds of drugs which have regulatory approval for human use and have been selected for their diverse pharmacological properties and their scarcity\u201d.\nCompounds are offered either in a 96- well plate (60 compounds per well) or individual vial format. The company intends to expand its offering to more than 3,600 approved and special interest compounds in 2015. A number of other chemical library companies such as Enzo Life Sciences (Plymouth Meeting, PA, USA), Prestwick Chemicals (Washington DC, USA) and Spectrum Microsource (Gaylordsville, CT, USA) also offer small libraries containing 500-1,000 compounds that are approved or off-patent drugs. (Since these companies offer a suite of other services and products they are not included in Table 1.)\nAlso, in 2011 the NIH Chemical Genomics Center pharmaceutical collection was created and a programme initiated (25). This is a screening service for collaborators to access and assess this approved drug library using a wide range of assays, and thus find new repositioning candidates for a multitude of diseases particularly, rare, neglected and orphan diseases. This effort is now managed by NCATS and the library now consists of ~2,500 approved, small molecule compounds, as well as an additional 1,000 investigational molecular entities.\nCorporations are pursuing DRPx efforts for a multitude of reasons but are primarily driven by the need to generate revenues. However, non-profits such as Cures Within Reach (CWR) are pursuing somewhat different goals (see Table 1B). Dr Bruce Bloom, Founder and President of CWR, stated that: \u201cDrug Repurposing is a very safe, fast and affordable way to create new medical treatments, especially in those rare and neglected diseases where the economics of new drug development makes it challenging for the for-profit sector, or for the payers.\u201d (26)\nThis Chicago-based entity has a broad partnership base consisting of academic and research institutions. It helps finance DRPx collaborative efforts, and has to date facilitated the launch of 10 new DRPx drugs. In 2015 it rolled out its new CureAccelerator Platform. Dr Bloom has stated that \u201cCWR is scaling up the repurposing revolution through the CureAccelerator web platform to find repurposing ideas ready for the clinic, raise the money for the clinical trials, and test the repurposed drugs, devices and nutraceuticals in patients. Then publish the results to give physicians the opportunity to determine how they might use these repurposed solutions in clinical practice.\u201d (26) The platform connects patient groups, industry, researches and funding sources all interested in the DRPx process, and aims to facilitate the dialogue between them.\nIn a similar manner, the Center for World Health & Medicine (CWHM) is focused on DRPx candidate compounds, but with interest in neglected and rare diseases primarily impacting patients in Developing World countries. This organisation was founded in 2010 by a group of former Pfizer researchers and access compounds from a variety of sources to evaluate in their pre-clinical models.\nCurrently they have ongoing DRPx projects in childhood diarrhoea, tuberculosis, malaria, sickle cell disease and a number of rare diseases such as idiopatheic pulmonary fibrosis. CWHM is one of a number of non-profit, company and academic groups participating in the consortium World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Re:Search programme. WIPO Re:Search has created a database of available IP assets including regulatory data, technology and compounds to support research on neglected diseases, and much of this effort is in the form of DRPx investigation.\nFinally, it should be noted that a number of non-profit patient advocacy and disease foundations support efforts in DRPx focused on their particular area of domain expertise. For example the CHDI Foundation provides guidance, reagents and funding to help companies carry out DRPx activities on candidate compounds as potential therapeutic treatments for Huntingdon disease. While all these efforts are noteworthy, they are usually only a part of other substantial efforts.\nDRPx is a complex, multi-factorial component process. It requires a myriad of tools, technologies and skilled collaborators to ensure success in the creation of a \u2018new\u2019 drug. In order to facilitate such efforts a series of Open Source initiatives and models have been created, and some have been described above. This allows for efficient sharing of resources, data, compounds and drugs, compound libraries and screening platforms to \u201ccost effectively advance old drugs and/or candidates into clinical redevelopment\u201d (27).\nOpen Source resources continue to be developed and made available and include numerous database and data mining capabilities such as DrugBank, Potential Drug Target Database, Therapeutic Target Database, SuperTarget, PubChem, ChEMBL, ChemSpider, IDMap, Open Phacts and PROMISCUOUS. These and other capabilities are described in detail elsewhere (13,27,28).\nDRPx discovery \u2013 tools & methods\nHistorically, numerous DRPx drugs have been discovered through serendipitous routes. They include drugs that were tested fortuitously for new indications such as Buproprion (Brand Name Zyban) for smoking cessation, and Thalidomide for leprosy and multiple myeloma. In addition the list includes candidate compounds or drugs where observations of unexpected side-effects in ongoing clinical trials led to the successful development of, for instance, Sildenfil (brand name Viagra) for treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) and Minoxidil (brand name Rogaine) for hair loss.\nTable 2 lists a number of compounds and drugs that were subjected to DRPx efforts and approved for new indications.\nA bedrock principle of the pharmaceutical industry used to be the \u2018one drug-one target\u2019 paradigm. However, the high attrition rate of compounds in late stage clinical trials due to poor efficacy indicated that this model was flawed. Today it is clear that \u2018drug promiscuity\u2019, also referred to as polypharmacology, is widespread (29). Indeed it was recently reported that the average drug promiscuity rate is ~6-7.5 targets/approved drug (30).\nSuch pharmacological properties are a pre-requisite for DRPx efforts to be viable, but it also suggested that a more rational approach to the identification of DRPx candidates is possible.\nIn that regard a variety of tools and technologies have been developed that determine and/or identify:\ni) compounds that modulate specific disease phenotypes\nii) identify new drug-target interactions\niii) define new roles for existing targets\niv) find new disease pathways.\nMany of these technologies were developed and used in conventional DDD, but have also now been routinely applied to DRPx discovery and include high-throughput screening (HTS) and large scale kinase inhibitor assays (12,17,31).\nIt has been suggested that DRPx discovery should be considered from a drug-centric, target-centric and disease-centric perspective (12,17,21,31).\nHowever, the two predominant outcomes in DRPx discovery are either\ni) a known candidate compound/drug interacting with a new target, or\nii) known target mapping to a new disease indication.\nMethods and tools utilised in DRPx discovery to identify such possibilities include in vitro and in vivo (cell/organ/tissue/ animal) phenotype model screening, HTS, High Content Screening (HTC), Chemoinformatics, Bioinformatics, as well as Network and Systems Biology (12,13,17,30). These approaches are used in conjunction with available information on known targets, drugs, biomarkers of disease, and pathways/ networks of disease that can ultimately lead to accelerated timelines in the discovery and development of DRPx candidate drugs.\nIn a thoughtful analysis, Jin and Wong have further sub-classified methods into approaches predicated on available information and elucidated mechanisms (13). The sub-classification of methods consists of:\ni) Screening-based\nExamples include off-label drug use and phenotype screening. These approaches offer flexibility but typically do not include biological/ pharmacological information and do not provide mechanism of action (MOA) insight. Information content output is poor. This includes off-label drug use, phenotype screening using HTS and HCS.\nii) Target-based\nExamples include HTS, HTC and in silico screening of libraries. Targets typically link to MOA, and provide rapid screening capability of compound libraries. Information content output is poor. This includes phenotype screening (HTS/HCS) as well as in silico screening (docking and ligand screening studies).\niii) Knowledge-based\nExamples include various bioinformatic and chemoinformatic approaches. Since the information input is high, the DRPx prediction is more accurate than screening and targetbased approaches. Information content output is moderate. This includes drug-target predictions, adverse event reporting, clinical trial information and disease pathway analysis.\niv) Signature-based\nExamples include individual gene/protein/metabolite signatures from disease omics data. These approaches are more likely to uncover off-target and disease mechanisms. Information content output is moderate to high. This includes connectivity maps linking diseases with drugs and genome-wide association studies (GWAS).\nv) Pathway/network-based\nExample includes available signalling or metabolic pathway, and protein interaction networks to reconstruct specific disease pathways. This allows the narrowing down of a large number of proteins to a small specific disease-related network. Information content output is high. This includes differential disease omics and reconstruction of disease pathways to identify key targets.\nvi) Targeted mechanism-based\nExample includes integrated omics data with signalling pathway and protein interaction networks. This is a powerful approach to delineate MOA for a drug treatment of a specific disease. Information content output is extremely high. This includes determining similarity networks between drugs and disease.\nThis systematic approach allows one to identify which method to use predicated on the available information. All this is summarised in Table 3, and explained in more detail elsewhere (13). A comprehensive overview and details of existing DRPx methods can be found in a variety of other published works on the subject (12,13,17,21,28,31).\nNumerous challenges still exist to execute on cost-effective DRPx efforts. For instance, Jin and Wong stated that: \u201cTo test a large number of diseases for a specific drug or a large number of drugs for a specific disease, it is difficult to unify the needed computational approaches because the available information for different diseases or drugs varies. For example, to use target-based methods to reposition drugs for 100 diseases, one would have to know the biomarkers or available pathways for each of these diseases. The knowledge needed for this type of drug repositioning might be unavailable or difficult to derive from the literature or available databases.\u201d (13)\nHowever, one DRPx company has taken such an approach. CureHunter Inc (Portland, Oregon) utilises an Integrated Systems Biology platform which effectively synthesises all the data and knowledge acquired from the methods described above (i-vi screening to targeted mechanism) to produce a clinical outcome database (see Table 3D). This database is structured for autonomous prediction of new disease indications for any given drug, biomarker, or active biological agent.\nThe platform consists of five modules:\ni) Controlled source knowledge module: US National Library of Medicine archive (USNLM) from 1809-current (continuously updated).\nii) Data acquisition module: High precision clinical efficacy variable text mining capability using a purpose-built semantically intelligent Natural Language Processor.\niii) Array module: All data is arrayed into a drugdisease- outcome relationships database where each relation is an empirically weighted contributor to clinical efficacy.\niv) Analysis module: Using Network Graph Theory and a suite of algorithms to determine the most centric and similar components of clinical efficacy for all diseases.\nv) Prediction module: Answer system analytics automation layer with graphic user interface (GUI) for real-time output of new indications with high probability of clinical success prediction.\nThe CureHunter platform facilitates the capture and automated DRPx analysis of all of published biomedical knowledge (in the USNLM) demonstrating a functional role in the clinical efficacy potential of more than 250,000 active biological molecules, markers, mechanisms and drugs operating in more than 11,600 disease states. Each year this self-updating system has added close to one million new records to its master clinical outcome database so that the system constantly learns and updates its predictive analyses in real time.\nThus the design and operation of the CureHunter engine also solves one of the major problems facing the DRPx community, namely the need to cost-effectively utilise the ever-increasing flow of data and forward integrate new research for successive years of discovery. It is interesting to note that the system is effectively a \u2018push-button\u2019 DRPx engine.\nDRPx drugs\nApproximately 80 examples of DRPx drugs have been approved and launched as therapeutic agents for new indication(s) in the USA and Europe (32).\nThe origin of such DRPx candidates is varied but can be loosely grouped into one of the following categories:\ni) Compounds from academic and public sector labs that were never commercialised\nii) Compounds already in a clinical development that demonstrated polypharmacology\niii) Shelved compounds \u2013 failed to demonstrate efficacy in Phase II or III clinical trials\niv) Drugs that were discontinued for commercial or safety reasons\nv) Drugs close to patent expiry or competition from generics\nvi) Drugs with incremental new indicationsknown as Line Extension\nvii) Drugs available in developing markets but not commercialised in the USA/Europe/Japan (sometimes referred to as Geographical/Transnational DRPx).\nA poster-child for DRPx, and an example of a shelved drug candidate, is Sildenfil. This compound is a potent inhibitor cGMP-phosphodiesterase 5, an enzyme known to regulate blood flow. Sildenfil was being evaluated in clinical trials for the treatment of angina. However, the trials were suspended after it was demonstrated that the compound manifested pharmacokinetic properties that were inconsistent with the prolonged control necessary for the treatment of angina.\nBy happenstance, during the clinical trial, researchers noted an unexpected sideeffect that led to the development and approval of the compound for previously untreatable, erectile dysfunction (ED) in 1998. Ironically, the original \u2018poor\u2019 pharmacokinetic properties of Sildenfil actually made it an ideal drug for ED therapy. Subsequently, Sildenfil was also found to be effective in the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension and was approved for use in the USA in 2005, but is marketed under the brand name REVATIO.\nOther examples of drug candidates that lacked efficacy in the original clinical trial but were successfully repurposed include Canakinumab, Pertuzumab and Finasteride. In the case of Finasteride, this was originally evaluated for hypertension, but was ultimately repurposed for both benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) as well as male pattern baldness (MPB), and in both cases was an on-target repurposing endeavour. Table 2 provides a summary of this data as well as a list of other approved DRPx drugs that includes their original indication and new indication(s).\nA limited number of drugs have failed after their post-market launch, but then subsequently subjected to successful DRPx. The most well-known example of such a strategy is the \u2018notorious\u2019 drug Thalidomide. It was originally marketed as a sedative and antiemetic and had an inhibitory effect on morning sickness, common in pregnant women. Unfortunately, the drug had a teratogenic effect on the foetus and many children were born with deformed limbs and faces.\nThe drug was withdrawn from the market in 1962. Further studies revealed that the drug also appears to inhibit Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha signalling and it was subsequently approved for the treatment of erythema nodosum leprosum, a painful skin condition of leprosy in 1998 and Multiple Myeloma in 2006. The drug is currently under evaluation for an additional 30 other new indication treatments.\nAs discussed above, drug promiscuity is now well-recognised, and any one drug can affect more than a single pathway, which can ultimately lead to new indications for drug candidates or existing drugs. Thalidomide is an example of off-target DRPx. Other drug candidates that have been subject to successful off-target DRPx include Crizotinib and Imatinib. Crizotinib is a protein kinase inhibitor that binds within the ATP-binding pocket of target kinases.\nIt was originally tested for anaplastic large cell lymphoma as a MET-kinase inhibitor. However it was subsequently approved by the FDA in 2011 for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer where the ALK-oncogene was the target. In addition, Imatinib (brand name Gleevec), a small molecule BCR-abl tyrosine kinase inhibitor, was originally approved for treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML).\nThe drug was further approved by the FDA in 2002 for use in patients with gastrointestinal tumours (GIST), and again in 2012 for removal of KIT-positive tumours after surgery in order to prevent the reoccurrence of the tumour. In both cases the MOA involved off-target c-kit and PDGF-RA.\nThere are numerous examples of on-target DRPx, and include such popular drugs as Duloxetine (brand name Cymbalta), Everolimus (brand name Zortress), Sunitinib (brand name Sutent) and the first anti-retroviral Zidovudine (brand name Retrovir, also known as AZT). Sunitinib is an example of a drug-centric DRPx case. The drug was originally approved for treatment of GIST and renal cell carcinoma (RCC) as a receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor. It was subsequently subjected to DRPx and approved for treatment of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumour in 2010. Everolimus is an example of a target-centric approach.\nThis drug is used as an immunosuppressant in the post-treatment of organ transplant patients, and inhibits the mammalian target of rapamycin. The target was subsequently identified as an important candidate in numerous other diseases and the drug was approved for kidney cell cancer (2009), astrocytoma (2010), metastatic pancreatic neuroendocrine tumour (2011) and HER-2(-) breast cancer (2012).\nAs an interesting aside, the compound was also approved for use in conjunction with a drug-eluting stent as an immunosuppressant to prevent restenosis. Duloxetine is a reported example of a DRPx where the pathway was determined to be important in other diseases. The drug is a mixed serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI.) It was initially approved for the treatment of depression and general anxiety disorder (GAD), but was repurposed for fibromyalgia (2008) and musculoskeletal pain (2010).\nHowever, the pathway and mechanism of action for its analgesic properties has subsequently been suggested to act via a sodium channel blocker and not the SNRI pathway (34). A final example of an on-target DRPx effort involves Zidovudine. This drug is a nucleoside analogue reverse-transcriptase inhibitor that was subjected to DRPx and became the first antiretroviral approved for the treatment of HIV/AIDS. It was originally evaluated as an anticancer agent in the 1960s, since the prevailing theory at the time was that most cancers were caused by environmental retroviruses. Needless to say the original cancer testing proved to be unsuccessful.\nValue and challenges of DRPx\nThe tribulations of the pharmaceutical industry have been discussed already in this article. The development and successful execution of well thought-through DRPx strategies can help alleviate such problems and add significant value to pharmaceutical company pipelines as well as to patients, the ultimate end-users of these products. The specific issues that contribute to DRPx value include:\ni) Cost savings\nPreviously, Persidis has suggested that the cost \u201cto relaunch a repositioned drug averages $8.4 million\u201d (35). This appears to be a rather conservative estimation and may be more applicable to simple, line-extension DRPx cases. We estimate that the cost is ~$300 million, assuming that the DRPx candidate has to undergo Phase II and Phase III clinical trials. This is predicated on the model proposed by Paul et al3, but still represents an ~85% saving, compared to the $1.778 billion cost of a de novo DDD drug.\nii) Time savings\nA commonly-cited assumption is that DRPx can reduce the conventional DDD process by 3-5 years. We estimate a cycle time of ~6.5 years for a DRPx drug, again based on the model of Paul and co-workers (3). However, there are examples of even more rapid DRPx approvals. Crizotinib was investigated as a DRPx drug based on its ALK-inhibiting properties. It was approved for the new indication of NSCLC treatment in just four years (31).\niii) Productivity/risk\nThe attrition rate of drug candidates subjected to the conventional DDD process is ~95%. Much of this failure is caused by a compound\u2019s lack of safety (~45% failure in Phase I) and efficacy (~65% failure rate in Phase II) (3). These poor success rates place tremendous pressure on the drug pipeline and hence pharmaceutical company productivity. Since DRPx drugs have been either approved or shown to be safe in late stage trials, they can enter the pipeline at the efficacy stage, thus significantly decreasing the failurerate probability and increasing the chances for a successful launch.\nIt has been reported that 25% of DRPx drugs successfully make it from Phase II to market launch in contrast to only 10% for conventional DDD drugs. The probability of success increases to 65% for DRPx drugs moving Phase III to market (only 50% for DDD drugs) (23). In addition it is estimated that there are at least 2,000 failed drug candidates available that could be exploited through a DRPx strategy, and this number increases by 150-200 compounds per year, providing an ample pipeline of opportunity (36).\niv) Market potential\nThe market potential for a DRPx drug is determined by the same market forces as a conventional DDD drug and includes drug differentiation, market need, patient acceptance, marketing strategy and Intellectual Property (IP) position (35). Thus a DRPx drug has the same possibility to achieve blockbuster status as a de novo derived drug. A recent example of a DRPx blockbuster drug is dimethyl fumarate (brand name Tecfidera) from Biogen IDEC. It was approved for a new indication to treat multiple sclerosis (MS) in 2013 and achieved revenue sales of >$2.5 billion worldwide in 2014. This represented ~30% of total revenues for Biogen IDEC last year.\nv) Intellectual Property\nDRPx can help in patent life elongation and thus aid in prolonging lifecycle management of product portfolios. Persidis has argued that a successful DRPx strategy can significantly cushion the patent cliff dilemma faced by the pharmaceutical industry (35). In part this can be achieved because it is possible to \u201cobtain very strong patent protection for a new use of an existing drug whose composition of matter patents are still running, if that new use is not covered and proven in the original patent\u201d.\nvi) Patient/health system\nThe advent of personalised medicine has fuelled the transition of patients to consumers19b. This has led to a more demanding customer-base that requires a better, cheaper, personalised product. DRPx efforts have impacted significantly on orphan, rare and neglected diseases (12), as well as providing therapeutic efficacy where none existed previously (eg Sildenfil). Consumer needs, in the form of cheaper, faster, safer, more efficacious drugs across the entire drug spectrum, are being considered and contemplated with the more widespread adoption and use of DRPx.\nOn the other hand it is also important to recognise that DRPx still requires an element of discovery and development. These undertakings bring inherent risk and it is important that one comprehensively understands the science, disease, patient population, regulatory, business and IP issues associated with any specific DRPx initiative. For instance, new Phase I clinical trials may be required if the DRPx candidate is an old drug and the original safety data does not meet current regulatory standards. Plus, safety issues can still present problems for a potential new indication.\nFor example, Buproprion, a drug originally approved for the treatment of depression, was subject to DRPx efforts in the treatment of obesity. These studies involving the individual drug were ultimately unsuccessful due to adverse events observed in the clinical trials (31). However, the drug was ultimately approved as a combination therapy with Naltrexone in late 2014 and is marketed under the brand name Contrave (see Table 2).\nAnother obvious challenge is that the efficacy of a DRPx drug must be demonstrated. Clearly the DRPx drug must have superior, differential properties from existing drugs already being marketed and sold in the same class. Otherwise it will be subject to the same regulatory scrutiny as a conventional drug, which could have a significant impact on its forward progress.\nAny lack of differentiation or clear efficacy can obviously lead to the DRPx trial being abandoned. For example, Sunitinib was originally approved for treatment of GIST and RCC, but failed in a multitude of other cancer trials due to efficacy issues (31). A final consideration of obstacles and hurdles that can confront the unwary is IP and (original) drug ownership issues. These can be complex and troublesome as one attempts to navigate the DRPx process. Such issues, as well as business and regulatory matters, will be considered and discussed in detail in our subsequent manuscript on this subject (37).\nThe continued rising costs, combined with the catastrophic failure rates of de novo DDD have driven the pharmaceutical industry towards some exploration of DRPx strategies and their potential. This has been augmented somewhat by the welldocumented problem of the \u2018Patent Cliff\u2019, as well as the more aggressive stance taken by Generic companies as they look to infiltrate the conventional DDD sector. However, implementation of a successful DRPx strategy is not a simple undertaking.\nThe skills and expertise required are considerable and range across a number of different disciplines. They include the need to access compounds and information, determine the disease area of focus and implement a well thought-through business and IP strategy. The successful execution of a DRPx business model can result in a pipeline that has an increased number of Phase II-level compounds, as well as lead to new innovations in disease aetiology and pathway/network biology.\nIt can also address what Persidis labels the competitor adjacency threat. He was recently quoted as stating that: \u201cCompetitor adjacency threats drive companies to not only add new compounds to their pipelines, but indicate when a savvy company reacts to what its competition is doing with a new twist on an old compound.\u201d (38)\nThere are numerous factors that contribute to the feasibility and viability of DRPx. They include access to voluminous amounts of scientific and clinically curated data, the large number of potential drug candidates that could be made available, lead time from proof-of-concept to Phase II is short, and infrastructure needed to undertake DRPx can be limited.\nThe future appears bright for DRPx, but there are a number of issues impacting the future that need to be considered and include\ni) how to maximise the generation of ideas through open source partnerships that includes academia, industry, non-profits and government agencies\nii) better design of clinical trials and patient selection\niii) electronic medical records need to be more fully integrated into the study of patient outcomes and therapeutic effectiveness as well as utilised in a systematic role in DRPx selection processes\niv) key stakeholders such as FDA/EMA, payers, patient advocacy groups should play a more substantial role\nvi) automation and updating capability should be key review factors for commercial organisations seeking to prioritise adoption of DRPx methods and stay competitive over time.\nHighly automated semantically intelligent systems can reduce data capture errors and bioinformatics workloads dramatically.\nThe numerous benefits of DRPx are clear and well documented (12,17,35). If this is so transparent then why is the pharmaceutical industry so slow on the DRPx uptake and in many cases only practicing on an ad hoc basis? It is possible that the entrenched, silo-structured, pharmaceutical companies are not conducive corporate structures for DRPx. In addition there appears to be a sentiment that DRPx is not an endeavour that produces innovative research and outcomes (35).\nSuch attitudes need to change and the pharmaceutical industry needs to be more embracing of this exciting, innovative and productive series of approaches. Widescale implementation of smart DRPx strategies could unleash a torrent of productive activity that enhances pharmaceutical company performances and provides significant opportunities for all the stakeholders including the public and private sectors as well as those \u2018demanding\u2019 patients!

        "raw_content": "Long reliant on China, Myanmar turns to Japan\nThe Japanese government is lending loans for the projects at 0.01 per cent interest\nThomas Fuller, October 12, 2012, The New York Times :,\nOn a street in central Yangon the final moments of Kenji Nagai\u2019s life were captured in a Pulitzer Prize-winning photo, an image that exemplified the brutality of military rule in Myanmar. Nagai, a Japanese journalist, was shot five years ago during a crackdown on protesters by security forces, and his death was a low point in relations between Myanmar and Japan.\nNow, as Myanmar seeks to shed its authoritarian past, a much different picture is emerging. Japan is rapidly ramping up its presence in the country with a heavyweight deployment of government assistance and corporate heft reminiscent of the large investments at the height of Japan\u2019s global economic power in the 1980s.\nOne block away from the spot where Nagai was killed, on the fourth floor of City Hall, two dozen Japanese engineers are drawing up a master plan to remake the roads, telephone and Internet networks, water supply and sewage systems of Yangon, the country\u2019s long-neglected commercial capital.\nWith the attention to detail they are famous for, Japanese engineers are measuring traffic patterns in Yangon, inspecting 70-year-old water pipes and poring over maps and blueprints. \u201cMyanmar is saying, \u2018Welcome! Please help us,\u201d\u2019 said Ichiro Maruyama, the deputy chief of mission at the Japanese Embassy in Yangon.\nPresident Thein Sein, who travelled to Tokyo earlier this year to plead for help, is outsourcing crucial parts of his drive to redevelop the country to the Japanese. In addition to the makeover for Yangon, a Japanese consortium has been tasked with building a large industrial zone and satellite city on Yangon\u2019s outskirts. The totality of Japanese assistance has stunned those who watch the country closely.\n\u201cI\u2019ve been somewhat astonished by the extent of the Japanese involvement and alacrity with which they\u2019ve moved,\u201d said Sean Turnell, an expert on Myanmar\u2019s economy at Macquarie University in Sydney.\nBy choosing Japan for these crucial projects, Myanmar is diversifying away from China, its largest foreign investor in recent years. Myanmar has become a sort of strategic battleground between Asia\u2019s two economic titans, China and Japan, Turnell said. \u201cThis is a competition for pre-eminence and influence in Asia,\u201d he said.\nChina and Japan have diverging interests in the country. Japan is eager to tap into Myanmar\u2019s cheap labour force and extend its massive network of factories spanning Thailand and Indochina. China is more focused on extracting Myanmar\u2019s natural resources like natural gas, gems, timber and rubber as well as electricity from hydroelectric dams.\nThe impression that China is robbing the country of these resources has led to an anti-China backlash, including recent protests against a copper mine near the central city of Monywa and the suspension last year of the Myitsone hydroelectric dam.\nJohn Pang, the chief executive of CARI, a research organisation based in Malaysia, says the Myanmar government\u2019s pivot toward Japan \u201cis not so much an attraction to Japan as much as a revulsion against the Chinese.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s a game the Chinese gave away,\u201d he said.\nThe Japanese, Pang said, \u201ccome across as nonthreatening\u201d and have managed to build up trust with Myanmar\u2019s leaders.\nMany other governments have sought to upgrade relations and business contacts with Myanmar \u2014 South Korean and Singaporean companies are very active in the country \u2014 but Japan has been far more comprehensive in its approach.\nJapan\u2019s overall strategy is to deploy the full force of what used to be called Japan Inc. Some of the country\u2019s largest conglomerates \u2014 Mitsubishi, Marubeni and Sumitomo \u2014 are working in cooperation with the Japanese ministry of international trade and industry.\n\u201cWe haven\u2019t had any project like this in at least 20 years,\u201d said Masahiko Tanaka, the chief representative of Japan\u2019s International Cooperation Agency, which will provide financing for the projects.\nThe Japanese government says it is willing to lend Myanmar money for the projects on terms that are near-giveaways: loans with 0.01 per cent interest payable over 50 years and with no payments due for the first 10 years.\nWhile the cheap money is no doubt attractive to the cash-strapped nation, Thein Sein appears to be counting on something else: help in winning the next election, scheduled for 2015.\n\u201cThey are requesting that the project be finished before 2015,\u201d said Maruyama, the Japanese deputy chief of mission, referring to the industrial zone, which is called Thilawa and which will also include banks, schools, hospitals and other amenities of a city built from scratch. He jokingly calls the timetable \u201cmission impossible.\u201d\nYohei Sasakawa, the chairman of the Nippon Foundation, a Japanese charity that focuses its assistance on areas where impoverished ethnic minorities live, says the government is very aware that the population will want to see a \u201cdemocracy dividend\u201d \u2014 tangible benefits from the transition away from military rule.\nThein Sein has requested that the Nippon Foundation give priority to projects that can be completed quickly, like the construction of primary schools in remote areas, Sasakawa said.\nJapan\u2019s plans for the makeover of Yangon stretch the meaning of the word ambitious.\nLarge parts of the city\u2019s infrastructure were built during the British colonial days, which ended in 1948. Train cars on British-built tracks ride on rotting railway ties. Yangon sidewalks are scarred by deep and treacherous crevices. A dilapidated sewage system covers only the central area, and pipes meant to deliver clean water are a Swiss cheese of leaks.\nThe Japanese government is also studying plans for mass transit systems, the rehabilitation of four power plants that provide electricity to Yangon, the construction of a second bridge over the Bago River and the addition of six berths to the port near Yangon that will serve the Thilawa project.\nThe Japanese government says it will have a better idea about the cost of the projects once feasibility studies are completed at the end of the year. But it is sure the price tag will be in the billions of dollars. It has already reached a deal that would forgive or reschedule Myanmar\u2019s outstanding debt to Japan.\nWhile Japan\u2019s interest in Myanmar is partly geostrategic, for some older Japanese the re-engagement by Japan also cements a longstanding \u2014 and checkered \u2014 relationship between the two countries. Aung San, the country\u2019s independence hero (and father of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, who is now leader of the opposition in Parliament), trained in Japan before leading efforts to oust the British from the country.\nBy helping main figures of the Burmese independence movement, the Japanese see themselves as the having been \u2018midwives\u2019 of Burmese independence from the British, according to Turnell. The subsequent Japanese occupation of Burma during World War II was brutal. But the two nations developed a kind of kinship of former foes, something akin to the United States and Vietnam today.\nThe sentimentality that many Japanese have toward Myanmar may be in part because of a popular 1956 film, \u2018The Burmese Harp,\u2019 in which a Japanese soldier dons the robes of a Buddhist monk and remains behind after the war.\nFor Sasakawa of the Nippon Foundation, re-engaging with Myanmar is personal. He remembers eating rice shipped from Burma in the lean years after the war in Japan. \u201cWe are really late in repaying our obligation,\u201d he said. \u201cWe are passionately looking forward to paying back the kindness of Myanmar.\u201d",

Among these\u2026 Continue Reading\nResounding Victory for MOL Hungarian Oil and Gas\nRepublic of Croatia v MOL Hungarian Oil and Gas PLC - UNCITRAL - PCA No. 2014-15\nDechert secured a victory for MOL Hungarian Oil & Gas Plc (\"MOL\") in a bet-the company, multi-billion dollar arbitration. The Republic of Croatia initiated this Geneva based arbitration against MOL in 2014 under the UNCITRAL rules. Croatia alleged that MOL, the largest company in Hungary and the second largest in Central and Eastern Europe, had acquired controlling rights in Croatia\u2019s national energy company, Ina Industrije Nafte d.d (\"INA\"), by paying a 10 million euro bribe to former Croatian Prime Minister Ivo Sanader. Croatia also alleged that MOL had mismanaged INA, causing billions of dollars in damages to the Croatian economy. Finally, Croatia alleged that MOL\u2019s management structure in INA was illegal under Croatian corporate law.\nThe UNCITRAL tribunal completely cleared MOL of Croatia's bribery allegations and dismissed every claim brought by Croatia against MOL. The UNCITRAL tribunal also awarded almost all of MOL's legal fees and costs \u2014 in excess of US$15 million \u2014 which Croatia is required to pay to MOL.\nLandmark Victory for the Republic of Ecuador\nBurlington Resources Inc. v. Republic of Ecuador, ICSID Case No. ARB/08/5\nDechert successfully defended Ecuador in a landmark arbitration brought by Burlington Resources Inc. The arbitration arose out of the enactment by Ecuador of windfall-profits taxes on private oil revenues corresponding to the increase in oil prices in the mid-2000s. In reaction, Burlington ceased to pay its dues and subsequently abandoned its operations in the Amazon region of Ecuador. At the same time, Ecuador submitted counterclaims against Burlington, notably for the substantial harm caused by its operations to the sensitive ecosystem of the Amazonian rainforest.\nIn a historic decision, the tribunal awarded Ecuador over US$41 million plus interest for the environmental damage caused by Burlington. The tribunal dismissed all but one of Burlington\u2019s claims and found that Burlington was entitled to just a fraction of the compensation it sought for Ecuador assuming operation of the abandon project, i.e., some US$379 million as compared to US1.35 billion.\nTotal Exoneration for the Czech Republic\nWNC Factoring Ltd. (UK) v. The Czech Republic, PCA Case No. 2014-34 (UNCITRAL)\nDechert secured a total victory for the Czech Republic before an international arbitration tribunal at the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) in The Hague. The claimant, WNC Factoring Ltd., a British company, acquired a Czech state-owned company, \u0160kodaexport (\u010cEX, a.s.) (later known as BA MU EXPORT, a.s.), following a privatization process and public tender. When the company failed and entered into bankruptcy, the claimant asserted that the Czech Republic was at fault for allegedly mishandling the privatization process and failing to provide certain financing through the Czech Export Bank. The claimant brought its claims under the Bilateral Investment Treaty between the United Kingdom and the Czech Republic, seeking damages of US$90 million, later adjusted down to US$71.5 million.\nDechert represented respondent Czech Republic as co-counsel along with another firm. On 22 February 2017, the tribunal \u2014 comprising Dr. Gavan Griffith QC (Presiding Arbitrator), Professor Robert Volterra and H.E. Judge James Crawford \u2014 issued its final award, rejecting the claimant\u2019s claims in their entirety and ordering the claimant to pay the respondent\u2019s costs.\nRecord-Breaking Annulment for the Republic of Ecuador\nOn behalf of Ecuador, Dechert won an unprecedented 40% reduction of an ICSID arbitration award through an annulment proceeding. The dispute arose from the termination of a production sharing contract for an oil field in the Amazon. In an award rendered on 5 October 2012, the tribunal awarded Occidental a staggering US$2.3 billion award plus post award interest. Dechert filed for annulment and won a record-breaking reduction in damages in a landmark decision.\nResounding Victory for Dominican Republic\u2019s State Entity\nHaina Investment Co., Ltd. v. Fondo Patrimonial de las Empresas Reformadas, ICC arbitration\nDechert scored a resounding victory for the Dominican Republic\u2019s Fondo Patrimonial de las Empresas Reformadas (\u201cFONPER\u201d) in an arbitration against Haina Investment Co. (\u201cHIC\u201d), before the ICC International Court of Arbitration. FONPER and HIC jointly own the electric power company Empresa Generadora de Electricidad Haina S.A. (\u201cEGE Haina\u201d) which provides electricity to consumers in the Dominican Republic. In 2012, FONPER brought criminal charges against certain directors of EGE Haina, alleging certain wrongdoing that harmed FONPER and the Republic. HIC then filed for arbitration against FONPER, seeking a declaration that HIC was in compliance with its obligations under EGE Haina\u2019s Bylaws and HIC\u2019s Administration Contract. FONPER counter-claimed in the arbitration that HIC had violated its contractual obligations by transferring certain of its income tax obligations to EGE Haina and thereby obtained an unjust enrichment to the detriment of EGE Haina, FONPER, and the Republic.\nThe tribunal accepted our client\u2019s counter-claim and ordered HIC to compensate our client for economic damages in the amount of approximately US$30 million. The tribunal also ordered HIC to pay damages to certain minority shareholders and to EGE Haina, bringing the total award to nearly US$46 million. Following the resolution of the dispute, the Parties\u2019 joint venture will continue to generate electricity for the Dominican Republic with HIC assuming its proper income tax liability going forward.\nDechert\u2019s \u201cunparalleled experience\u201d and \u201cunderstanding of State actions\u201d place it \u201camong the best law firms in investment treaty arbitration.\u201d (Legal 500, 2014). Dechert\u2019s international arbitration lawyers have acted in more than 50 investment treaty arbitrations on behalf of investors and States, including many cases that generated new law in our field. Our experience includes arbitrations before both the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) and the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA), and in ad hoc arbitrations under UNCITRAL Rules.\nWe are widely recognized for representing States and State Owned Enterprises of 11 different countries across three continents, with particular strength in Latin America. At the same time, nearly half of our investment arbitration experience has been on behalf of investors, with matters arising in Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, North America and Central and South America. Our representation of both investors and States gives us a unique perspective and expertise that is reflected in our record of success, and earns us the respect of arbitral tribunals as objective and trustworthy advocates.\nWe represent major private sector clients in hundreds of international commercial arbitrations before the world\u2019s major arbitral institutions, including CIETAC, ICC, ICDR, LCIA, SCC and SIAC, as well as under UNCITRAL rules and in arbitrations under national arbitration laws. Our team members have served on the drafting committee of the rules of the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) and have literally written the book on ICC, CIETAC and SIAC arbitration. Our team includes individuals who have served in senior positions at the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) and the Arbitration and Mediation Centre of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), and who participate actively in the governance bodies of arbitral institutions.\nOur global team is multi-cultural, multi-lingual, and multi-jurisdictional. We have dedicated arbitration lawyers based in Beijing, Brussels, Dubai, London, New York, Paris, Singapore, and Washington, D.C. Our lawyers have handled matters before every major arbitration institution in the world and arising on every continent from the West to the Far East.\nOur U.S. team provides \u201ccomprehensive advice on complex international arbitrations involving businesses and governments worldwide.\u201d (Legal 500 USA, 2016).\nWashington, DC. Our team in Washington, D.C. is at the epicenter of investor-State arbitration. Our lawyers have a long track record of success acting for both investors and a variety of sovereigns in investment treaty arbitrations before the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), located just steps from our office. We also have extensive experience in ad hoc investment arbitrations under UNCITRAL Rules, including recent, high-profile, resounding victories against Croatia and for the Czech Republic.\nNew York. In New York, our team handles international commercial arbitrations involving a wide range of industries, including financial services and life sciences in both ICC and ICDR arbitrations. Working hand in glove with our international litigation team, we also assist clients with the multinational enforcement of judgments and arbitral awards, having run enforcement matters spanning more than 15 countries on four continents.\nWe are the gold standard in international arbitrations arising in Latin America. We act on behalf of sovereign and corporate clients in dozens of treaty and commercial arbitrations throughout the region. Our Latin America arbitrations are led by diverse teams that include some of the world\u2019s leading international arbitration attorneys from Latin America and Spain. Our team\u2019s training in civil law and fluency in Spanish and Portuguese \u2014 in addition to common-law experience and absolute English fluency \u2014 allow us to work efficiently and effectively both on the ground and before any tribunal. Exemplary matters include achieving the largest annulment in ICSID history on behalf of Ecuador, and succeeding on an innovative, multi-million dollar counterclaim against a foreign investor for environmental damage in the Amazon.\nDechert\u2019s \u201cknowledge of procedure, judgment and familiarity with international arbitration is very impressive\u201d (Chambers Europe, 2016).\nParis. Established in the historical center of arbitration near the Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce, our team in Paris team acts handles numerous major commercial and investment arbitrations from around the world, with particular strength in disputes arising in Latin America. The team also handles multiple matters involving French parties, French law, and proceedings in France. Our lawyers in Paris are also well versed in enforcement and annulment proceedings in France. As an example, we represent France's second-largest oil company in an ICC arbitration seated in Paris against a Lebanese company and its Belgian affiliate and governed by French law, regarding certain oil fields in Iraq.\nLondon. In London our international arbitration team draws from a complex commercial litigation practice of over 40 lawyers including solicitors, arbitrators and mediators with experience before the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA) and in ICC arbitration. Fifteen Dechert lawyers are members of the LCIA Users' Councils. Our London team has handled major international arbitrations arising in diverse sectors, including energy, mining, construction, financial services, technology, hospitality and shareholder disputes. In one case, our team represented multiple Russian companies in a complex, US$2 billion multi-jurisdictional dispute concerning a Russian joint venture, which played out in two separate LCIA arbitrations seated in London.\nBrussels. Our lawyers in Brussels have a strong presence at the heart of Europe and are experienced in disputes involving the interplay between arbitration and EU law, particularly in the investment treaty context. For example, we represented the Czech Republic in four investment arbitration involving the real estate and gaming sectors and privatization issues.\nDechert arbitration lawyers have extensive experience working with clients throughout Africa. Adept at navigating the difficult political contexts in which many disputes arise, we have advised leading international companies in their disputes with African States, including in the telecom and mining industries. We have also acted in a number of commercial disputes, ranging from a construction project in North Africa to shareholder issues in a renewable energy project in East Africa.\nFrom our Dubai office, Dechert assists sovereign and corporate clients with dispute resolution in the Middle East, with particular strength in construction and engineering disputes. Our lawyers have conducted numerous international commercial arbitrations in the UAE before DIAC, DIFC-LCIA, and ADCCAC, in addition to regional and international arbitrations before the ICC, LCIA, and under UNCITRAL rules. We handle major investment disputes involving Middle Eastern States, as well as sensitive maritime and boundary disputes in the Middle East under treaties and public international law.\nClients rely on our understanding of local business and regulatory practices across Asia to resolve international commercial and investment disputes.\nBeijing. Our team in Beijing is well known for its \u201cextensive experience\u201d acting as counsel and arbitrator in scores of commercial arbitrations in China, with particular strength before the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission (CIETAC) (Legal 500 China, 2017). The team is led by a member of the ICC and LCIA courts and the author of the leading treatise on arbitration in China.\nSingapore. From our Singapore office, we handle contract and treaty arbitrations arising in Central, South and Southeast Asia before the Singapore International Arbitration Center (SIAC) and in ICC arbitration. We also co-author the leading treatise on SIAC arbitration. In one case example, we are advising a U.S. oil major in a series of high value complex disputes against an Asian government and state-owned entities arising under several production sharing contracts.\nWe are widely recognized for our expertise in the major industry sectors in which international disputes arise (Chambers Global, 2016). Our team has handled landmark arbitrations around the world, as counsel and arbitrator, arising in the energy, mining, construction and telecom sectors.\nIn the oil and gas sector, we have acted as counsel to oil majors and independents, States, and State Owned Enterprises on dozens of disputes arising from concessions, production sharing contracts, and gas pricing agreements, with amounts in controversy totaling billions of dollars. For example, in Europe, we scored a total victory for an investor, MOL Hungarian Oil and Gas, against Croatia in an arbitration that put the \u201ccrown jewel\u201d of Croatia\u2019s economy at stake. In South America, we helped Bolivia settle a treaty claim at The Hague brought by a German-Peruvian oil consortium for US$16 million \u2013 around half of what the claimants wanted.\nWe are widely recognized for specializing in mining matters. Our team has acted as counsel to some of the largest mining companies in the world and to sovereigns in mining disputes arising in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America. As an example, our lawyers represented Pac Rim Cayman against El Salvador in one of the first CAFTA disputes presented to an ICSID tribunal. In another case, we defended Colombia in a major UNCITRAL arbitration against a foreign mining company concerning a gold mine, the environment and indigenous communities.\nConstruction and engineering disputes are one of our core practice areas. We have counseled State Owned Enterprises, contractors, engineers, and architects in disputes concerning large scale private construction and major public infrastructure. Our experience in construction arbitrations includes projects and parties in Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and North America. In one public matter, we represented Italian and Spanish construction companies against the State of Kuwait concerning a billion-dollar highway project.\nDechert is well known for its expertise in the resolution of international disputes arising the telecommunications industry. Having handled numerous telecom arbitrations, Dechert\u2019s lawyers are knowledgeable about telecom operators, markets and regulations. In one famous case, we scored a victory for France Telecom in a $1.5 billion shareholders\u2019 dispute with Orascom for control of the Egyptian mobile network Mobinil. An ICC tribunal found in favor of France Telecom and ordered Orascom to sell its stake in Mobinil. In another case, we helped Bolivia settle an expropriation claim by a Dutch unit of Telecom Italia for US$100 million \u2013 about 10 percent of what the investor had claimed it was owed.\nAvant Garde Arbitration\nDechert is consistently recognized by the Financial Times as one of the most innovative law firms in the world. In an increasingly interconnected world, we are pioneering the use of international arbitration in new areas, including the internet, life sciences, corruption cases and corporate disputes.\nDechert is well-known for its expertise in the area of Internet governance and disputes involving the introduction of top-level domains against the International Corporation for Assigned Names and Number (ICANN), which is the global regulator of the Internet. Dechert has prevailed in every arbitration it has brought against ICANN. In one case, we represented ICM Registry in the first ever full Independent Review Process against ICANN regarding the .XXX sponsored top-level domain. This was the first decision to state that general principles of international law apply to the governance of the Internet.\nDechert is highly regarded for its long track record of advising and representing life sciences clients (LMG Life Sciences, 2017). With the globalization of the industry, pharmaceutical, medtech, biotech and other health care companies around the world turn to us to resolve their most important international disputes through arbitration. We have handled life sciences arbitrations, as counsel and as arbitrator, in disputes concerning patents, licensing agreements, distribution agreements and joint ventures. Our matters and clients in life sciences arbitration touch North America, Latin America, Europe, Africa and Asia. We also engage in thought leadership on new developments in this fast-growing area of international arbitration.\nWe have unique expertise in international arbitrations which involve allegations of bribery or other corporate or government corruption, using methods borrowed from criminal law practice. In one headline case, we defeated bribery allegations lodged by Croatia against MOL Hungarian Oil and Gas, by importing elements of criminal investigatory method, law and procedure, and human rights law into the international arbitral forum, using ex-Scotland Yard investigators and co-counseling with leading international white collar criminal lawyers. In another well-known matter, we represented Taiwan in an ICC arbitration related to the payment of illicit commissions related to a military procurement contract for the purchase of six frigates from Thales. We successfully defended the jurisdictional and procedural objections raised by Thales and secured a Final Award in favor of Taiwan in the amount of US$830 million. It was the largest ICC award ever made in France.\nWe are highly skilled at resolving all types of corporate disputes, including those relating to mergers and acquisitions, tender and exchange offers, shareholders\u2019 agreements, leveraged buyouts, deadlock provisions and joint ventures. We are accustomed to handling domestic and international corporate disputes in both the public and private spheres. For example, our lawyers represented French and Spanish clients in parallel ad hoc arbitrations against a European food-and-beverage conglomerate arising from a shareholder dispute. Our clients were awarded \u20ac750 million in damages.\nWe act in numerous cases not only as counsel, but also as arbitrators. With team members currently holding over 50 arbitrator appointments, we have an extremely high level of arbitrator experience. We were ranked #1 worldwide in arbitrator appointments (GAR 30, 2014). Through our arbitrator work, we are constantly engaged in the creation, not just the study, of new sources of international law. And our arbitrator experience gives us invaluable insight into how arbitrators think and decide cases, making us ever more effective as counsel.\nTop Ranked International Arbitration Practice",

        "raw_content": "Sarah Palin Schools the House Republicans on Healthcare\nSarah Palin criticized the Republican Party, or what she calls the Republicans in name only (RINOs), on Saturday.\nPalin talked about the House Republicans healthcare bill and how it still failed to serve the majority of Americans.\nWhile she said the plan could be worked with, she believed it would be best handled by the states.\n\u201cI do want to speak about this, but I am tempted to say not another word from our fearless leaders about this new form of Obamacare that I\u2019m going to call RINO-care\u2014not another word from them until we are definitively told that there is no provision whatsoever allowing Congress to exempt itself whatsoever with this law,\u201d said Palin in an interview with Breitbart.\n\u201cThere is much that we agree on,\u201d Palin said. \u201cThank the Lord, we all agree that Obamacare is devastating one-sixth of our economy. That\u2019s what health care encompasses. Once the government took it over\u2014it obviously is unaffordable, unsustainable and unwanted. So, from the get-go, thank the Lord we all have that in common, and we want to do away with Obamacare,\u201d she said.\n\u201cI would ask Paul Ryan\u2019s forgiveness if I come across sounding like I\u2019m just whining and complaining about a problem without proposing a solution. Like Teddy Roosevelt said, that is the definition of whining. So I want to propose solutions, and I want Paul Ryan to listen to the people who are suggesting that, okay, if the government is going to be this involved in our healthcare system and choices, then allow the states to take this over. Get it out of big government\u2019s hands,\u201d she continued. \u201cThe most responsive level of government is that which is closest to the people. If you\u2019re not going to allow individuals to have the freedoms and the autonomy and the choices provided in their health care, at least let it be a states\u2019 rights issue. So that\u2019s one.\u201d\nRegardless of where we stand as a country, the next healthcare system we pass must properly cover the majority of Americans, not only a certain section of the population. Obamacare is a flawed system due to the fact that it suffers from that same problem, but the new Republican proposal is no better.\nAdded bonus, a hilarious clip of Palin talking about healthcare and guns:\nLucky for us, Trump has the right people standing behind him and it is only a matter of time before the right decisions are made.",

        "title": "35 The Spirit in the Acts Period Epistles Pt 2 - Deity and Humanity",
        "raw_content": "Chapter 36 The Spirit Today - a Paraclete\nIn recent studies, we\u2019ve been looking at the work of the Holy Spirit during the Acts Period. The Holy Spirit was a permanent fixture in the life of the Acts Period believer, and enabled the common believer to perform miracles during that time.\nWe began by looking these occurrences in the book of Acts itself, and in the last lesson, we started seeing these same features in the documents that accompany the Acts Period, namely, the epistles of the Acts Period. We spent a few minutes focussing on the words \u201canoint\u201d and \u201canointing\u201d, two words associated with the working of miracles and the priestly role of Israel; we also read Romans 11, which speaks of the Gentiles who, during that time, were grafted into the olive tree of Israel. Phrases to do with the \u201canointing\u201d of the Spirit are absent in the writings after the Acts Period, and we should take care to rightly divide in this instance and leave anointing it in the periods it belongs to.\nTonight we\u2019ll continue looking at the Acts Period epistles (please refer to the chart above), particularly emphasising the miraculous gifts of that time. It becomes evident that each believer in Christ was blessed with the Spirit\u2019s presence in their lives, and each person manifested some kind of miraculous gift.\nEvery Believer had a Spiritual Gift\nv.2 saints\nv.6b,7 \u2013 testimony of Christ was confirmed in you \u2026. so that you come short in no gift \u2013 we\u2019ll start to read about \u201cgifts\u201d in a moment.\n- testimony of Christ \u2013 cp. John 15:26 \u2013 one of the main roles of the Holy Spirit was to testify of Christ \u2013 this was done through the inspired preaching and teaching of the apostles, and the miracles that accompanied their preaching. Likewise, every believer at the time exhibited spiritual gifts, testifying of Christ\u2019s part in their life.\nv.7 - \"come short in no gift\" \u2013 everyone displayed one of these gifts.\nv.5 \u2013 KJV/NKJV \u201cin all utterance\u201d (NIV 2011 - \u201call kinds of speech\u201d; NIV 1984 \u2013 \"in all your speaking\") a difficult phrase \u2026 but notice \u2013 all \u201cknowledge\u201d as well. Gifts and knowledge are going to come up a few times in this study. More a bit later on.\nThe Diversity of Gifts in the Acts Period Church\nObviously, it wasn\u2019t always smooth sailing having those gifts. The Spirit\u2019s presence did not equate to being perfect or sinless; it never did in the OT times, nor does it today, and it didn\u2019t during the Acts Period.\nv.1 concerning spiritual gifts (listed in v.8-10)\n\u2013 not the gift of music, art, or being a good public speaker, or a good fundraiser for the church, etc \u2013 these are partly natural leanings and partly learned skills which we often develop (eg, by having piano lessons and practising at home). The spiritual gifts were enabled by the Holy Spirit. No practise was required - not in the OT or the Gospels, and not in the Acts Period either. These were \u201cgifts\u201d (borrowing a phrase from Eph 2 \u2013 \u201clest any man should boast\u201d).\nv.7 \u2013 given to all \u2026\nfor the profit of all (NIV for the common good) - not merely for that individual person\u2019s benefit, encouragement, aid, etc). Not just for the sake of showing a miracle, but for the benefit of the church, that particular gathering of Christians in Corinth (or wherever)\nv.7 \u2013 manifestation of the Spirit\n\u201cmanifestation\u201d \u2013 phanerosis - an open display, something that is clearly visible\nThe stem of the word \u2013 phan \u2013 has the idea of visibility (epiphaneia / epiphany)\nThe List of Gifts in 1 Corinthians 12:8-10\nv.8-10 \u2013 nine gifts are listed\nthese are gifts of enablement and revelation - not an exhaustive list, because other gifts are mentioned elsewhere in the writings that pertain to the Acts Period. Even later on in v.28,29 there are others mentioned.\nLet\u2019s take a quick look at the list, and establish some basic working definitions for the time being.\nv.8 word of wisdom\nv.8 word of knowledge\n- some overlap between these two, but whereas knowledge is about information, wisdom is more to do with summing up a situation and acting appropriately. A person can be quite educated and know a lot of things, without being wise. A different person can also be quite unlearned but act with wisdom and prudence and discernment.\n(There is a helpful chapter about gifts of wisdom and knowledge in Michael Penny's \u201cThe Miracles of the Apostles\u201d, ch.12)\nv.9 faith (also Romans 12:3) \u2013 not the basic faith to believe in the Lord Jesus, but seems to related to something extra, a faith related to the demonstration of the spiritual gifts. Faith to believe that, when faced with an impossible (not just difficult) situation, that God\u2019s Spirit would take over and deal with the situation.\nPossible examples may include:\n- when the young boy David faced the might of Goliath?\n- when Peter and John faced the Sanhedrin in Acts 4 and speak on behalf of the Lord Jesus?\nv.9 gifts of healing\nv.10 working of miracles\n- healing outside of human intervention like surgery, or outside of the normal healing process, and miracles that would not otherwise be humanly possible \u2013 \u201cevidential\u201d miracles., miracles that can be proven to be such, not just hearsay or speculation.\nv.10 prophecy \u2013 speaking (and writing) on behalf of God;\nv.10 discerning of spirits \u2013\nperhaps a skill beyond what is described in v.3, and also in 1 John 4, on how to test various spirits to see if they are from God or not.\nv.10 speaking in tongues \u2013 unlearned languages\nv.10 interpretation of tongues \u2013 being given an understanding to interpret those languages, even though not having previously learned them.\nAll Had Gifts ... but not the same gifts\nv.11 the same Spirit (i.e. the same Holy Spirit) is the source of these phenomena,\n- distributing each as He wills (an inanimate force does not have a will, or have the ability to choose)\nEveryone had at least one spiritual gift, but not everyone had every gift\nv.29,30 is a series of questions, all with the answer \u201cno\u201d (in the Greek - an untranslated particle m\u00e9 ,demanding the answer \u201cno\u201d, precedes each question)\nNew American Standard Bible captures the sentiment of vv.29,30 accurately \u2026\n\u201cAll are not apostles, are they? All are not prophets, are they? All are not teachers, are they? All are not workers of miracles, are they? All do not have gifts of healings, do they? All do not speak with tongues, do they? All do not interpret, do they?\u201d\nOne further point - the people were not responsible for the gifts that they had, but they were responsible for how they used their gifts, and their attitude to the gifts. This is the purpose of chapters 12,13 and 14 \u2013 full of instructions concerning these gifts, how they were to be used for the benefit of all, what the church\u2019s attitudes to those gifts should be, and, particularly with the gift of tongues, how these gifts were to be exercised in an orderly manner, honouring to God.\nAnointing and \"Knowledge\"\nREAD 1 John 2:20, 24-27\n(NIV/NKJV different here) v. 24-27 anointing \u2026 teaches you\nStatements in 1 John need to be viewed in the context of John exhorting his readers (a specific group of Jewish believers during the Acts Period). He is writing to them, exhorting them not to be deceived, either by unbelievers or by misleading spirits. (1 John 2:26)\nThis \"God-inspired\" knowlegde is similar to what is prophesied about the future kingdom, in Jeremiah 31:31-34 ...\n31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:\n32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:\n34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.\nThe Acts Period was a foretaste of the future kingdom, when there will be a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2/ Joel 2 \u2013 \u201cit will come to pass in those days that I will pour forth my spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall speak of things to come, etc) \u2026 and a time when they will no longer have to teach each other and say \u201cKnow the Lord\u201d, for they will all know Him.\nToday, we are not under the new covenant. This is evident when we observe that:\n(1) these things are for \"Israel and Judah\" (Jeremiah 31:31); and\n(2) they haven\u2019t happened yet \u2013 teaching is still required today.\nEvidential phenomena came upon all believers during the Acts period, but the process wasn\u2019t complete. The conditions of the Acts Period were just a foretaste of the future kingdom.\nThe promise of the kingdom is related to Israel\u2019s repentance. Israel have been set aside in God\u2019s plans, thus, so have the miracles. The miracles and \"manifestations of the Spirit\" will recommence sometime again when God starts dealing with them as a special nation once again.",

        "raw_content": "As Hunger Strike Continues, Ex-Chief Guant\u00e1namo Prosecutor Says \u201cNo Good Reason\u201d To Keep Prison Open\nWeb ExclusiveJuly 11, 2013\nCol. Morris Davis\nretired Air Force colonel, he resigned as the former chief military prosecutor at Guant\u00e1namo Bay in 2007.\nMore than 150 days in their hunger strike, at least 45 Guant\u00e1namo prisoners are being force-fed through tubes. \u201cIt\u2019s regrettable that it\u2019s taking them putting their lives at risk to get us to pay attention, that they\u2019ve been cleared for transfer, yet they\u2019re still in prison,\u201d said Col. Morris Davis, former chief prosecutor at Guant\u00e1namo.\nAMY GOODMAN: Colonel Morris Davis, you\u2019re the former Guant\u00e1namo Bay chief prosecutor. Let\u2019s talk about the ongoing prisoner hunger strike at the prison. It looks like at least 45 of the estimated 120, and it could well be more, Guant\u00e1namo hunger strikers are being force-fed through tubes. On Monday, a federal judge issued a ruling suggesting the force-feeding of hunger-striking Guant\u00e1namo Bay prisoners is illegal, but warning only President Obama can stop it. U.S. District Judge Gladys Kessler rejected a prisoner\u2019s effort to halt his force-feeding, saying she lacks jurisdiction. But she went on to say, \u201cIt is perfectly clear \u2026 that force-feeding is a painful, humiliating, and degrading process.\u201d Colonel Davis, can you talk about this?\nCOL. MORRIS DAVIS: Yes. I mean, it\u2019s a sad commentary about our country, that it takes people putting their lives at risk to get us to pause for a moment and pay attention to them, because, you know, the men at Guant\u00e1namo have largely been abandoned and forgotten, that, you know, they\u2019ve been there in some cases for 11-and-a-half years now, and, in many cases, cleared to be transferred out. As an example, one of the detainee assessment briefs I discussed in the Manning trial was on a detainee that was assessed in that brief as being a high-risk, high-threat detainee, yet he\u2019s on the to-be-transferred list that the Obama administration published back in 2010. But you\u2019ve got a majority of the detainee population that has been cleared for transfer out, you know, people that the intelligence community, the law enforcement community, the military has unanimously agreed we do not want to detain, we don\u2019t need to detain, because they\u2019re not a threat. And as John McCain said a few weeks ago, that we\u2019re spending $1.5 million per year per person to keep them at Guant\u00e1namo. So it\u2019s regrettable that it\u2019s taking them putting their lives at risk to get us to pay attention, that they\u2019ve been cleared for transfer, yet they\u2019re still in prison. And we\u2019ve got to\u2014we\u2019ve got to make this right. And, unfortunately, with the president, you know, we\u2019ve gotten lectures when we needed a leader, and he needs to stand up and be a leader on this and bring this to an end.\nNERMEEN SHAIKH: In a video released by Reprieve, the hip-hop artist and actor Yasiin Bey, formerly known as Mos Def, voluntarily undergoes a force-feeding similar to those at Guant\u00e1namo. In a disturbing sequence, Bey screams for help before the force-feeding is stopped.\nYASIIN BEY: Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop it, please! Stop! [inaudible] Please stop! I can\u2019t do it.\nNERMEEN SHAIKH: Colonel Davis, that was hip-hop artist and actor Yasiin Bey, who voluntarily underwent a force-feeding similar to those being carried out at Guant\u00e1namo. Could you explain what you think ought to happen now to the prison in Guant\u00e1namo and the prisoners who are still there?\nCOL. MORRIS DAVIS: Well, there really is no good reason for Guant\u00e1namo. I mean, it was a bad idea when John Yoo and others in the Bush administration thought it was going to be this law-free zone that we could exploit people for intelligence, and it\u2019s still a bad idea. And there\u2019s no good reason. As I mentioned, the expense of operating it is outrageous. General Kelly, who\u2014the Southern Command commander, told Congress recently he needs a quarter of a billion dollars to rehabilitate the facilities at Gitmo, because they were supposed to be temporary, not permanent\u2014and then you add the annual operating cost on. If it stays open through the end of the Obama administration at the current rate of spending, we\u2019ll spend another three-quarters of a billion dollars to incarcerate 166 men, 86 of which we\u2019ve said we don\u2019t want to keep.\nLegally, it\u2019s been a black hole for the law. I mean, every case that\u2019s come out of Guant\u00e1namo, from Rasul to Hamdan to Boumediene, has been a black eye for the government. Policywise, both our enemies and our adversaries use Guant\u00e1namo against us. You know, before we could get Abu Hamza al-Masri extradited from the U.K., our closest friend\u2014before they would extradite him to the U.S., we had to promise two things. One is we wouldn\u2019t take him to Guant\u00e1namo, and, two, that we wouldn\u2019t prosecute him in a military commission. Our federal courts have worked effectively to prosecute terrorism-related cases. Our Federal Bureau of Prisons has successfully incarcerated terrorism suspects and people convicted of terrorism. So I\u2019ve made the argument\u2014I\u2019ve asked the other side\u2014I mean, those are the reasons it makes no sense. What\u2019s a good reason for keeping it open? And other than political talking points to try to paint the president as being weak on terrorism, there\u2019s no good argument for Guant\u00e1namo. So I think the president\u2014again, we don\u2019t need a lecture; we need a leader. And he\u2019s got to stand up and lead and bring this to an end.\nAMY GOODMAN: Colonel Davis, isn\u2019t there an irony? Here you have Bradley Manning being charged with aiding the enemy, but what could aid the enemy more than having this example of injustice at Guant\u00e1namo?\nCOL. MORRIS DAVIS: Yeah. And the president mentioned that. I was pleasantly surprised. I was invited by the White House to attend the speech he gave at National Defense University in May, where he talked about the drone program and about Guant\u00e1namo. And, again, that\u2019s one of the points that the White House has mentioned, is that, you know, one of the many reasons Guant\u00e1namo makes no sense is it is a propaganda and recruiting tool for the enemy. So it is, you know, aiding their effort. And it certainly, as I\u2019ve said, does absolutely no good for America, other than the far-right wing using it as a political tool to go after the president.\nAMY GOODMAN: So, can you talk about why you resigned, specifically, in 2007 as the chief military prosecutor at Guant\u00e1namo Bay?\nCOL. MORRIS DAVIS: Yeah, if you go back and look, I mean, I was the leading advocate for Guant\u00e1namo and for the military commissions, where I wrote op-eds for The New York Times and spoke and gave presentations on why Guant\u00e1namo made sense and why military commissions made sense. For about two years, I believe, we were committed to having full, fair and open trials and that we could do this in a way that\u2014you know, people my age, we look back at Nuremberg with kind of this romanticized view of not just having victors\u2019 justice, but actually having a judicial proceeding before imposing a punishment. And I hoped that my grandkids would be able to look back at Guant\u00e1namo the way my generation looks back at Nuremberg.\nIn the summer of 2007, some people that were above me that I think were committed to trying to do this right chose to retire, and they were replaced by political appointees. And those political appointees came in and\u2014my policy bad been we weren\u2019t going to use any evidence that was obtained by the enhanced interrogation techniques. And so, we\u2019d been building cases, for instance, against like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed without using any of the statements he made in U.S. custody, and there is ample evidence to prove his guilt without those statements. But people were appointed above me that said, \u201cPresident Bush said we don\u2019t torture. So if the president says we don\u2019t torture, who are you to say that we do? Therefore, you need to take all this information you haven\u2019t been using and use it.\u201d And then, above that was Jim Haynes, who was the DOD general counsel that authored the torture memo. You probably recall the memo that Donald Rumsfeld signed and wrote in the margin, \u201cI stand eight hours a day. Why are the detainees limited to four?\u201d He was the author of the torture memo, and he was appointed above me in the chain of command. So when I had people above me that said\u2014had sanctioned torture and who had said, \u201cThe president said we don\u2019t torture. You\u2019ve got to use this evidence,\u201d I was convinced we weren\u2019t committed to having full, fair and open trials, and this was going to be more political theater than it was going to be justice. And I didn\u2019t want to be a part of it.\nAMY GOODMAN: And so, what are you doing today?\nCOL. MORRIS DAVIS: I\u2019m a professor at the Howard University School of Law, and they\u2019ve\u2014again, I\u2019d like to say thank you to them, because they\u2019ve been very supportive of allowing me to write and speak and testify in the Manning trial and do those types of things, so it\u2019s been a really\u2014a good home for me.\nAMY GOODMAN: What\u2019s going to end Guant\u00e1namo? I mean, you have people like Senator Feinstein of California. She has come out against force-feeding.\nSEN. DIANNE FEINSTEIN: Detainees are restrained in a chair, by body, by foot, by hand. And twice a day, a tube is inserted, perhaps covered with olive oil, up the nose and down into the stomach, and the individual is force-fed. This goes on week after week and month after month. We have 86 detainees who are cleared for transfer. They are no threat to this country. They have been adjudged so. And they have no place to go. So this is an express of acute hopelessness in the force-feeding.\nAMY GOODMAN: Yet, and now\u2014right now we\u2019re in the midst of Ramadan, and they\u2019re continuing to be force-fed at night. And President Obama sent down even more people to force-feed them. We don\u2019t even know how many people are on hunger strike. The military has always said fewer than there are. There\u2019s 166 prisoners there. The lawyers are saying perhaps almost all of them are on hunger strike. And what do you think would get this to stop? Is it just a popular uprising? I mean, the prisoners got attention paid to them by doing the hunger strike.\nCOL. MORRIS DAVIS: Right. I think either\u2014right now, the administration is faced with what I think they view are two bad choices. One is, you stop the force-feeding, and you stand there and watch someone slowly die, which they view is not a good choice. The other choice then is to do the force-feeding, which, you know, the international community has condemned. Domestically, we\u2019ve had\u2014as you\u2019ve mentioned, members of Congress have condemned. So it\u2019s really a damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don\u2019t choice.\nI think the logical choice, and the one that\u2019s going to take leadership and not lectures, is to begin sending people home. You\u2019ve got 86 of the prisoners that have been cleared unanimously by the U.S. government agencies as not being a threat, and we don\u2019t want to keep them, we don\u2019t need to keep them, and they\u2019re there because of their citizenship. Fifty-six of the 86 are Yemenis. The Yemeni government has asked for their people back. So, to me, that would be low-hanging fruit for the president to fly a plane to Guant\u00e1namo, load up those 56 Yemenis and send them home. And I think if the hunger strikers saw that they\u2019re\u2014you know, they\u2019re not just forgotten, there is concrete action, and that there is light at the end of the tunnel, I think the hunger strike would be over. But so far all they\u2019ve gotten is rhetoric, and I think they want to see some reality.\nAMY GOODMAN: Someone like Shaker Aamer, who is a British detainee\u2014\nCOL. MORRIS DAVIS: Right.\nAMY GOODMAN: \u2014who has been held for what? Close to\u2014well, over a decade.\nAMY GOODMAN: Britain said they will take him back. He has been cleared. Why isn\u2019t he sent back?\nCOL. MORRIS DAVIS: Well, again, you know, to me, it was hypocritical. You saw recently when President Obama and his family visited South Africa, and he took Sasha and Malia to visit the cell\u2014you know, it was billed in the media that the president took his daughters out to this island prison where Mandela spent 18 years in prison. And at the same time, he\u2019s operating an island prison in Guant\u00e1namo, where people like Shaker Aamer and others\u2014and again, the majority who have been cleared to be transferred out. And, you know, they haven\u2019t quite made it to the 18-year point of Mandela, but there are people that have been there for 11-and-a-half years that we have cleared to be transferred home, and they still sit in prison. So, again, I think it\u2019s going to take political will and backbone on the president\u2019s part. And I think if he\u2014you know, if the American people understood the truth, the real facts about Guant\u00e1namo\u2014because I can tell you, when I go out and speak, there are people that say, \u201cHey, these guys all want to, you know, blow themselves up and kill Americans, so just let them die at Guant\u00e1namo,\u201d and that\u2019s not the case. So I think if he educated the public and if the public knew the truth, that the public would be outraged that Guant\u00e1namo is still open.\nAMY GOODMAN: Morris Davis, we want to thank you for being with us, retired Air Force colonel, resigned as former chief military prosecutor at Guant\u00e1namo Bay in 2007, testified at the Bradley Manning trial this Monday and Tuesday.

        "raw_content": "Kinder Morgan Raises Dividend by 16%\n2015 has been a very bad year for energy stocks, which have underperformed the broader market due to the ongoing collapse in oil and gas prices. This has affected energy stocks indiscriminately, despite the fact that not all energy stocks are equally affected by falling commodity prices. Midstream companies like Kinder Morgan, Inc. (KMI) own and operate energy storage and transportation infrastructure like oil and gas pipelines and terminals. Kinder Morgan\u2019s business model is significantly insulated against volatility in oil and gas prices. And yet, Kinder Morgan\u2019s stock has fallen this year from above $40 per share to its current level of $28 per share.\nKinder Morgan- 1 Year Chart\nHowever, Kinder Morgan\u2019s resilient business model continues to generate cash flow, which fuels its dividend growth. Kinder Morgan recently raised its dividend by 16% year-over-year, and the stock now yields 7.2%, which could make it an attractive pick for income investors.\nDefensive Business Model Provides Protection\nKinder Morgan owns and operates 84,000 miles of pipelines and 165 terminals. Its extensive asset map stretches across North America making Kinder Morgan the largest midstream company in the United States. Since Kinder Morgan is in the business of owning and operating pipelines and terminals, its cash flow is much more dependent on volumes of products being stored and transported, rather than on the price of those products. This is what differentiates Kinder Morgan from other energy companies whose fundamentals have deteriorated this year, such as upstream firms engaged in oil and gas exploration and production.\nConsequently, investors should think of Kinder Morgan like a toll road. It collects fees based on the amount of products passing through its terminals and pipelines. As a result, Kinder Morgan is only partially vulnerable to declines in commodity prices. Viewing Kinder Morgan through the lens of distributable cash flow, or DCF shows that its fundamentals remain in relatively good standing. DCF is a non-GAAP equivalent to earnings per share that describes how much cash a company is generating, which can then be distributed to investors. It is customarily used as a primary tool for analyzing midstream energy companies.\nKinder Morgan\u2019s adjusted distributable cash flow increased 21% last quarter and 22% over the first nine months of 2015, year over year. The company\u2019s pipelines and terminals businesses are performing well. These two business units grew earnings last quarter by 29% and 6%, respectively, due to higher volumes. This helped offset a 22% decline in the company\u2019s carbon dioxide business, which is the one area in which Kinder Morgan is vulnerable to falling oil prices.\nCash Flow Supports Dividend Growth\nDue to Kinder Morgan\u2019s steady business model and lower vulnerability to changes in commodity prices, the company generates healthy cash flow, even when oil prices are in decline. This cash flow allows Kinder Morgan to continue increasing its dividend at an aggressive rate. For example, on October 21, Kinder Morgan raised its quarterly dividend to $0.51 per share, or $2.04 per share annualized. Its quarterly dividend represents a 16% increase from the same quarterly dividend last year. Kinder Morgan has now increased its dividend 15 times since it went public in February 2011.\nKinder Morgan\u2019s DCF covered its dividend payments by $228 million over the first nine months of the year. Going forward, Kinder Morgan management is confident it can continue to increase its dividend, because demand for energy infrastructure in the United States continues to grow. Kinder Morgan\u2019s backlog of future growth projects is now $23.1 billion, which is 29% growth year over year. Since the second quarter, Kinder Morgan added $700 million in new projects to its backlog. Importantly, management believes the projects in its backlog have a high probability of completion.\nWhy Kinder Morgan Could Be an Attractive Dividend Stock\nBecause of its growing cash flow and future project backlog, Kinder Morgan expects to raise its dividend again in 2016 by 6% \u2013 10%. Longer-term, management has stated its intention of raising the dividend by 10% per year through 2020. Kinder Morgan is committed to paying a high dividend and growing the dividend each year, making it a compelling opportunity for income investors. This is thanks to the combination of a current 7% dividend yield and the likelihood of at least 6% dividend growth next year, as well as 10% long-term dividend growth. As a result, Kinder Morgan could be an attractive stock for investors who want income, such as retirees.\nDisclosure: The author is long KMI",

        "title": "Answer Common Questions about Botox Injections in NYC",
        "raw_content": "Blog \u00bb FAQ\u2019s about Botox Injections in NYC Answered\nWe all want to look our best professionally and socially, especially in an increasingly competitive professional market. It is not unusual for men and women today to seek Botox injections in NYC before an interview or when they are applying for a promotion at work. Employers want people who look young, but still professional. They want to feel confident that they can get a fair number of years out of you. If you go to the right doctor, Botox can be injected on your lunch break. However, it should not be mistaken for something that anybody can do. Botox is still a serious medical procedure that requires a skilled hand and advanced training. It also requires that you be in the right medical state to be the ideal patient. A doctor can both help you to get the best results and avoid potential complications. So before you even go in to talk to a doctor, ask yourself the critical questions that will help you to decide if this is the right time and if Botox is a viable option for you. Once you get over this initial hurdle, then you can talk to a doctor about what kind of results you can expect, potential complications, what you can do to get the best results, and more. Understandably, there is still quite a bit of confusion surrounding even the most fundamental things about Botox, but you can change that.\nWhat You Should Know about Affordable Botox Injections in NYC\nAffordable Botox Injections in NYC Have Many Common Uses\nThe most popular known use for Botox is in the fight against wrinkles. Whether you want to get rid of crow\u2019s feet or frown lines, Botox can relax the muscles leading wrinkles in the area to fade away. Of course, more young people have started to use Botox to prevent wrinkles as well. However, other medical uses have become increasingly popular.\nWhen administered by a licensed physician who understands the ins and outs of Botox, these injections can be used to prevent migraines for a few months at a time. Botox injections administered by a licensed doctor can also be used to treat muscle ticks, excessive sweating, cervical dystonia, and more.\nWhile it is not uncommon to still think of Botox as the easy injections that get rid of your wrinkles, other applications are becoming increasingly common. Some doctors are even using Botox immediately following breast implants to optimize the way the breasts settle after surgery.\nBotox has numerous benefits, but it is also a toxin that may have side effects. For the average patient, this does not cause any serious problems. Temporary redness and swelling at the injection site is common. Some patients may even see temporary bruising, but most do not have further issues. When Botox is improperly injected, there is a higher risk of complications.\nIn rare instances, some patients may suffer anaphylaxis or other symptoms of an allergic reaction. Some may also find that their eyelids are heavy, or their features seem to be frozen. Even with more severe side effects, these will wear off after a few months.\nAre the Results of Botox Permanent?\nWhile Botox injections in NYC have powerful effects, they are not permanent. Each dose lasts a few months at a time in the area it is injected into. Then it wears off. If you want to maintain the results, whatever they are, injections should be repeated every few months.\nIs Now the Right Time for Botox Injections in NYC?\nIf you are considering affordable Botox injections in NYC, there are numerous factors to consider before you make any decisions. Yes, Botox can help you to look and feel more confident, and it also has medical uses for some patients. Patients in their 20\u2019s are starting to come in now as they see the medical benefits and the appeal of preventing wrinkles rather than trying to fight them later on. However, it is not always the right treatment for everybody. You can assess where you\u2019re at financially and medically, and a doctor can then help you to review the relevant facts that may play a crucial role in helping you to make a better decision.",

        "title": "What is Radiation from a Nuclear Blast? | Doom and Bloom (TM)",
        "raw_content": "What is Radiation from a Nuclear Blast?\nTYPES OF RADIATION FROM NUCLEAR BLASTS\nIn my last article, I discussed the various aspects of radiation sickness, but haven\u2019t yet defined just what radiation is. The quick definition of radiation is energy given off by unstable matter in the form of rays or high-speed particles. Some basic chemistry paraphrased from the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (US NRC): All matter, including you, is composed of atoms. Atoms are made up of various parts; the central nucleus contains minute particles called protons and neutrons, and the atom\u2019s outer shell contains other particles called electrons. The nucleus has a positive electrical charge, while the electrons has a negative electrical charge. Neutrons are, well, neutral. These entities work within the atom toward a stable balance by getting rid of excess atomic energy (called radioactivity). Unstable nuclei want to become stable, and may emit energy; this emission is what we call radiation.\nAll matter is composed of atoms. Atoms are made up of various parts; the nucleus contains minute particles called protons and neutrons, and the atom\u2019s outer shell contains other particles called electrons. The nucleus carries a positive electrical charge, while the electrons carry a negative electrical charge. These forces within the atom work toward a strong, stable balance by getting rid of excess atomic energy (radioactivity). In that process, unstable nuclei may emit a quantity of energy, and this spontaneous emission is what we call radiation\nPut simply, radiation is divided into \u201cionizing\u201d\u009d and \u201cnon-ionizing\u201d\u009d. We are bombarded daily by radiation from multiple non-ionizing sources: the sun\u2019s visible light and heat, microwaves, radio waves, radar, and others. This type of radiation deposits energy in the materials through which it passes, but doesn\u2019t break molecular bonds or destabilize atoms. These effects, however, can be caused by ionizing radiation, where the atom becomes charged and unstable, not a healthy state for living cells.\nThere are several types of radiation given off by a nuclear weapon: Alpha, beta, and neutron particles, and gamma and X-rays. All are caused by unstable atoms, which, in order to reach a stable state, must release energy in the form of radiation. Atoms can do this by , for example, shedding electrons, which causes them to become ionized.\npenetration power of different radiation types (image by NRC)\nAlpha radiation occurs when an atom undergoes radioactive decay, giving off an alpha particle. Due to their charge and mass, alpha particles only travel a few centimeters and don\u2019t even penetrate the outer layer of skin. If ingested, inhaled, or somehow injected, however, alpha particles are capable of causing considerable damage to living cells.\nBeta radiation takes the form of particles. Due to the smaller mass, it is able to travel further in air than an alpha particle, but can be stopped by a thick piece of plastic, a stack of paper, even clothing. It can penetrate a short distance into exposed skin, though, causing \u201cbeta burns\u201c\u009d which may require treatment. However, the main threat is from ingesting it, perhaps from crops growing in fallout areas.\nGamma and X-rays, unlike alpha or beta, are two types of radiation that do not consist of any particles at all, but instead, pure electromagnetic energy. Think of gamma rays as X-rays on steroids. Gamma radiation can travel much farther through air than alpha or beta particles (which have mass) and is responsible for the most ill effects on humans after a nuclear explosion. It can, however, be blocked by various materials. The thickness required for each material depends on the density; you\u2019ll see various shielding options and thickness requirements described in our articles and videos on radiation sickness.\n(Note: Examples of elements that are gamma ray emitters include iodine-131, cesium-137, cobalt-60, and radium-226.)\nLastly, Neutron radiation consists of high-speed particles with high penetrating power. Neutron particles travel further in air than other forms of radiation, but can be blocked by materials that contain hydrogen, such as water (H20) and concrete. When neutron particles are absorbed into a stable atom, they make it unstable and more likely to emit radiation. Therefore, it\u2019s the only type discussed here that can turn other materials radioactive.\nMore damage is caused by the blast and heat waves than radiation effects\nAlthough radiation is a major issue after a nuclear blast, it should be noted that most damage from such weapons are the result of massive amounts of the energy generated by shock and heat waves. The blast kills people close to ground zero, and causes major trauma much further away. Flying debris and falling buildings account for more casualties. The heat is so intense that almost everything close to ground zero is vaporized. At a distance, the extreme heat still causes severe burns and starts firestorms.\nYou might think that missile defense systems will protect us, and perhaps they would if someone targeted us with one huge 50 megaton bomb. Unfortunately, what will happen is that large cities will be hit with clusters of smaller bombs, but still 10 times larger than the bombs that hit Japan in 1945. We might be able to intercept one, maybe several, incoming missiles, but all of them? I\u2019ll let you answer that question.\nFind out more about survival medicine with the 700 page Third Edition of the Survival Medicine Handbook: The Essential Guide for When Medical Help is Not on the Way.

        "raw_content": "Ethiopia defends land grab\nEthiopia, where 20 per cent of the people are in urgent need of food aid, defended its plan to offer 2.7 million hectares (ha) cultivable land to foreign companies. \"It's not land grabbing. It's better than begging,\" said Esayas Kebede, director of Agricultural Investment Support Office. We have abundant land and labour. Foreign commercial farming will help us end poverty and hunger, he said.\nTill now, 2,000 companies, mostly Asian, have secured land in Ethiopia--known for its coffee and sesame. India leads the race. The government is also considering a new land use policy to lure foreign companies.\nThe head of UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation, Jacques Diouf, had recently warned against the rush by giant economies to acquire land in poor countries to feed their own people. He called it neo-colonialism.\nIt's a sea change for the Aral\nThe Aral Sea, once the world's fourth largest lake, has been reduced to a tenth of its former size. Space images from the European Space Agency showed the lake dramatically retreated from 2006 through 2009; its eastern section lost about 80 per cent of water. Straddling Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, the Aral Sea now has 6,070 ha of salty and toxin-laden lake bed. Experts blamed this disintegration largely on the former Soviet Union, which in the 1960s diverted two major rivers feeding the lake. The lake would disappear by 2020, they said.\nOceans at 16.99oC\nThe world's ocean surface temperature was the warmest on record for July, breaking the previous record set in 1998, said the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. At 16.99C, ocean temperatures were 0.59C above the 20th century average. The average land and ocean surface temperature for the month was 16.37C, the fifth-warmest since record keeping began in 1880.\nChina hints a shift in talks\nA study by China's policy advisors signalled a flexibility in its stance on international climate change negotiations. The 900-page 2050 China Energy and CO 2 Emissions Report calls for quantified targets so that the country's emissions will slow by 2020 and begin to fall by 2030 without affecting economic growth. The report acknowledges that China has surpassed the US as the world's largest emitter of greenhouse gases and suggests the government investing 1 trillion yuan in low-carbon technologies each year until 2050. The panel, which said climate change is a matter of urgency, stressed the report was a research exercise. However, it is significant as it is the first time a government document discussed emissions targets. Till now China's stance has been that it is a developing nation and will not consider emissions reduction target.\nBoeing, Airbus lock horns\nUS officials have criticized a UK decision to lend money to European aircraft manufacturer, Airbus, just weeks ahead of a World Trade Organisation (wto) ruling on aircraft subsidies. The statement came soon after the UK unveiled a 396 million (US $565 million) loan to help Airbus build wings for its new A350 model--a medium-sized, long-range craft. It is scheduled to start flying in 2013 and will compete with Boeing's 787 Dreamliner and 777 planes.\nThe US and the EU in 1992 signed an agreement on trade in large civil aircraft, which permits either side to lend up to a third of the development costs for new planes. But the two have been locked in a legal battle at the wto for the past five years. The US accused EU of giving US $200 billion in illegal aid to Airbus, while EU said the US has favoured Boeing with US $24 billion in subsidies.\nEU braces for GM drugs\nTo keep ahead of the progress of GM (genetically modified) technology, the EU published norms for the commercial cultivation of plants modified to produce drugs, even before it becomes reality. The norms by European Food Safety Authority describe how developers of gm plants, grown for purposes other than human or animal consumption such as producing pharmaceuticals, will need to assess the potential risks to humans, animals and the environment. Both the European Commission and member countries will decide whether or not to grant permission. At present, scientists seek a nod from member countries alone for GM food crop trials.\n20 litres of water cost US $1.3 in Nairobi. A litre of petrol costs US $1.5\nSource GLOBAL LIVING.COM\nKenya repents\nFollowing decades of exploitation, Kenya is taking drastic measures to save its water resources. The government has unveiled plans to reforest the degraded Mau forest, the country's largest catchment area, and plant another 7.6 billion trees across the country over 20 years. Just 3 per cent of the country is covered by forest. The government has also issued warnings to city dwellers not to use electrtic boosters on water pumps. The water crisis is at its worst in the capital Nairobi, where some have gone without water for a month.\nFood crisis in oil-rich Venezuela\nVenezuela is looking for trading partners to ensure food supplies, after President Hugo Chavez cut off trade links with neighbouring Colombia. Chavez, a fierce Washington critic, is furious with Colombia for hosting US troops at its military base to fight drug trafficking.\nColombia has long been a major supplier of food to the oil-rich Venezuela that depends on imports for two-thirds of its food needs. Within days of halting the import, Chavez signed over a billion-dollar trade deal with Argentina for meat and rice. It also bought 1,500 tonnes of coffee beans from Brazil.\nBut analysts say this is not sufficient Argentina, for instance, will supply 80,000 tonnes of beef a year whereas Venezuela consumes 600,000 tonnes. Moreover, Argentine traders have driven hard bargains and wrangled concessions on excise duties.\nThe government has already passed the expenses on to its citizens. Soon after signing trade deals with Argentina in the last week of July, the government increased the prices of food.\nCanada demonstrates its claim\nCanada launched a series of military exercises in its Arctic region to show a visible presence in the area, amid claims among other Arctic countries. To demonstrate his country's determination to assert sovereignty claims, Prime Minister Stephen Harper also joined the military exercise. He launched the Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency and said \"We know the gaze of other nations is increasingly focused here, in our Arctic. By working to reach this region's full economic potential, we are strengthening its people as well as the sovereignty of our country.\" Five countries bordering the Arctic-Canada, Denmark, Norway, Russia and the US-claim overlapping parts of the region, which is estimated to hold 90 billion untapped barrels of oil.\nTasman booby lost and found\nTasman booby, a large sea bird believed to have become exinct in the late 18th century, has been rediscovered. A group of researchers from New Zealand and Australia said the bird is actually a subspecies of a living bird, masked booby, found on islands in tropical oceans. The researchers had long suspected that Tasman booby is related to the masked booby, as they have similar male-female body shapes. Recently they compared fossilized and modern bones and dna from specimens identified as Tasman and masked boobies and found they were similar. The confusion had come about because fossilists had compared bones of female tasman boobies to those of male masked boobies, unaware that females are bigger in size, and assumed they were looking at two species.\nNews News News Water Resources Unite Transport Transport Remote Sensing Oceans and Seas Oceans and Seas Land Use Land Lakes Hydrology Green House Gases Global Warming Food Security Ethiopia Emission Targets Climate Change China Aral Sea Air Transport Agriculture Nepal Forests Forests Forest Policy News Briefs",

        "raw_content": "How to beat the bank holiday traffic jams\nBank holiday traffic jams, you're toast\nIT\u2019S THE final bank holiday of the summer and millions of Britons are set to hit the road for one last grasp at fun.\nDespite a mixed weather forecast, seaside resorts are expected to be full, music festivals have sold out, and scones have been baked for family visits. Which for drivers means jam all weekend \u2014 including on the journey back tomorrow afternoon, when the roads will be full of homebound families, including those who have jetted back from their annual holiday on Monday to max out their time away. In total, the AA predicts that 14m drivers will take to the roads this weekend.\n\u201cThis is one of the busiest weekends of the year,\u201d says Steve Crosthwaite, head of the Highways Agency\u2019s national traffic operations centre, which oversees England\u2019s motorway network and major A-roads. \u201cWe have a lot of bank holidays in the spring and summer, and this one is the last before Christmas, so people want to make the most of it.\n\u201cOn key routes, you see 50% more traffic than on a normal day, and at those levels congestion starts to build up even if you don\u2019t have any accidents.\u201d\nAs well as the sheer number of cars on the road, Crosthwaite says that many jams are caused by motorists driving too closely together, creating an amplified effect when the car ahead brakes. A so-called shockwave of braking happens, with each car normally slowing down a little more than the previous one. This can bring traffic to a halt in a minute or two. Drivers weaving in and out of traffic can create the same problem.\nBank holiday drivers can also create difficulties. \u201cPeople who drive less frequently can be intimidated by motorways,\u201d says Crosthwaite. \u201cYou get people who drive in the middle lane because they think that it\u2019s safer, even when there is free space\non the left-hand side. That causes congestion and frustration as cars squeeze past in a single lane.\u201d\nThe Highways Agency has identified the 12 places that drivers will most want to avoid tomorrow, while road organisations have highlighted a further dozen. According to an AA-Populus survey, more than a third of people going away this weekend will head towards the seaside, meaning coastal routes will be some of the worst affected. Roads to and from Blackpool, Weymouth, Clacton-on-Sea and Southend-on-Sea are among those expected to be busiest tomorrow.\nAlthough most roadworks on major routes have been removed for the weekend, Trafficmaster, which supplies traffic data to sat-nav companies, says that they remain on the M1 in Derbyshire and South Yorkshire between junctions 28 and 31, as well as on the M6 between junctions 10a and 14, where they are expected to cause severe delays.\nIf you\u2019re reading this abroad and flying back to Gatwick, you should perhaps look away now. Big jams are expected on motorways close to the airport as holidaymakers return. Worst affected will be those who need to use the M25. Inrix, which also supplies traffic data for sat navs, predicts the entire western half of the motorway, from the M23 Gatwick junction 7 all the way round to junction 21, where the M1 leads north, will be crawling for much of the day.\nThe eastern half of the motorway will not offer travellers much relief either, with congestion predicted from junction 7 to the Dartford crossing bottleneck. Traffic will be heaviest around lunchtime.\nHowever, Britain\u2019s biggest traffic hotspot is unlikely to come as a surprise: southwest England is poorly served by motorways and, as a result, the A303 between London and Devon regularly resembles a fume-ridden car park, not least at one of its most picturesque points as it runs past Stonehenge, where it is only a single carriageway.\nThe Highways Agency warns that the road is expected to be busy eastbound all afternoon, and Inrix suggests that it may be quicker to take a long diversion away from Stonehenge instead, heading south to Salisbury and then back up to rejoin the road on the A338. This route normally takes 25 minutes longer than the A303 if both routes are clear but could shave hours off your journey if the main road is clogged.\nSo how else do you avoid the jams? According to Inrix, timing is everything: traffic is expected to build up from late morning tomorrow and peak at around 1pm, so unless you want to write off the day and head home early in the morning, the advice is to wait until later in the day when the hordes of overheating cars, exasperated drivers and bored passengers will have cleared to some extent.\nYou might also think carefully about using your sat nav. Figures from the Department for Transport suggest that about half of drivers will be relying on a navigation device to plot their route, with many using traffic information data that can spot the queues ahead and divert drivers around them.\nIn normal circumstances these systems, which gather data from a variety of sources, can work extremely well . But if the major alternative routes are busy too, you can still become stranded in traffic.\nTomTom claims that its traffic service covers 99.9% of roads and that it will navigate rat runs as adeptly as a local, but other manufacturers are more wary of suggesting back roads\u2014 particularly after stories about lorries and caravans becoming trapped on unsuitable routes. Garmin says it aims to divert drivers onto major roads that are clearer than the standard route, although this may add to journey length. This is when it pays to pull out a trusty road atlas. With many sat navs deliberately blind to narrower B-roads (unless they are the only way to get to a destination), passengers can often successfully navigate a back route that avoids the clogged main roads \u2014 although any time savings can be wiped out if you\u2019re stuck behind a tractor.\nWatch out too for pockets of heavy congestion around bank holiday events. Trafficmaster warns of heavy traffic as people head home from the Reading and Leeds festivals tomorrow, while traffic from the Creamfields dance festival could result in queues around Warrington.\nIf you do find yourself stuck in a jam, there is at least hope on the horizon. Experts say that although jams will never be eliminated entirely, new technology is making inroads into the problem. Adaptive cruise control, which automatically adjusts a vehicle\u2019s speed to maintain a safe distance from the car in front, is becoming more widespread, meaning drivers don\u2019t bunch up so much and avoid the brake ripple effect.\nManufacturers are already showing off cars that communicate with one another \u2014 sending data in real time about accidents or other hazards ahead to prevent jams. They will also be able to communicate their alternative routes to avoid the other problem with existing technology: when one route is blocked, everyone else takes the same diversion.\nSome experts even dream of the time when driverless cars mean accidents are virtually unheard of and a convoy of vehicles automatically keeps to a set speed, calculated by a central computer, making jams a thing of the past.",

The game is called Zombie Gunship. In the game, you play as a gunner of an AC-130 gunship, whose mission is to protect civilians and bunkers from getting destroyed by blood-thirsty zombies. It\u2019s an easy plot to follow, but with a gunship that can get some insane upgrades and hordes of the undead that reach in the hundreds, the game quickly becomes an intense nail-biting experience.\nTo upgrade your ship to larger ammunitions, you must kill off zombies. If you are more into buying victory, you can simply buy coins via in-app purchases and purchase any supplies you need. You can have three types of cannons, all three of which are used by America\u2019s armed forces, which gives the game a sense of realism. There is the 25mm Gatling gun, the 40mm Bofors auto-canon, and the big daddy 105mm Howitzer. The last one makes quite the boom.\nIf you have spent anytime playing Call of Duty, and love getting into the seat of an AC-130, then you will feel right at home with this game.\nAxis Icon Pack Brings Vintage, Shadowy Hotness to Your Android Device\nSonic and SEGA All-Stars Racing Hits Google Play",

        "raw_content": "Home Popular Maryland Program Tests Trump\u2019s Opioid Crisis Response Plan\nThe Baltimore skyline\nA Maryland program tests part of Trump\u2019s opioid crisis response plan by waiving a decades-old law that prevented Medicaid from funding large drug rehab clinics.\nThe Medicaid Institutions for Mental Disease (IMD) exclusion was instituted in 1965 during the Lyndon B. Johnson Administration, and limited access to substance abuse treatment centers for those enrolled in Medicaid. The exclusion prohibited Medicaid from funding substance abuse treatment centers that had more than 16 beds. The reasoning behind the exclusion was that Medicaid shouldn\u2019t pay for treatment that had traditionally been the province of the states.\nHowever, fifty years later, the country\u2019s response to substance abuse treatment has shifted considerably. Many have lobbied to have the IMD exclusion removed, including a bipartisan coalition of state attorneys and the White House\u2019s Commission on Combating Drug Addiction and the Opioid Crisis.\nAs of today, seven states have been granted a waiver to the IMD exclusion. Besides Maryland, where the change took effect on July 1, 2017, the other states to receive the waiver are California, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Utah, Virginia, and West Virginia.\nAccording to the Maryland Department of Health, there are 36 providers of addiction recovery treatment who are currently benefiting from the removal of the IMD exclusion, and early data suggests that over 1,500 Medicaid patients were able to take part in addiction recovery treatment during the months of July and August. The Department of Health estimates that there are currently over 2,300 additional beds available at residential substance abuse treatment centers across the state.\nStates across the country have been hit hard by the opioid crisis, and Maryland is no exception, with officials stating that drug overdose deaths were up 20% in June over the previous year. While the removal of the IMD exclusion has opened up additional beds for those seeking adequate substance abuse recovery treatment in the state, the direct effect of waiving the exclusion will not be known until the appropriate data can be gathered and analyzed.\nPrevious articleDetained Drug Smugglers are Being Held on the Coast Guard\u2019s \u201cBoat Prisons\u201d\nNext articlePhoenix Takes Action to Regulate Sober Living Homes Proliferated by Opioid Crisis\nSan Francisco Takes New Steps to Tackle and Treat Drug Addiction",

        "raw_content": "Obama to Campaign for Clinton\nEDGARTOWN, Mass. (AP) -- Golf game, afternoons at the beach and ... political campaigning?\nPresident Barack Obama is interrupting what so far has been a leisurely vacation to campaign and help raise money for Hillary Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee. Obama has said there's never been anyone more qualified than Clinton, who was his rival in the 2008 presidential contest and his first-term secretary of state, to be president.\nObama is slated to headline a Democratic Party fundraising reception Monday evening on Martha's Vineyard, the island playground off the coast of Massachusetts where he's in the midst of a two-week vacation with his wife, Michelle, and their daughters Malia and Sasha.\nDemocrats Hank Goldberg and his wife, Carol, are hosting the event at their home in Chilmark, the same town where the president is renting a vacation home.\nObama will deliver remarks, but the news media will not be permitted to hear his answers to questions asked by some of the donors in attendance. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Hillary Victory Fund, a joint fundraising effort aiding her campaign, the Democratic National Committee and state parties across the country.\nThe White House said Obama is eager to hit the campaign trail and be as helpful as possible to fellow Democrats. After the scheduling worked out, he agreed to interrupt his golf, beach and dinner outings to appear at the fundraiser and give Clinton a boost.\nObama recently said Clinton's opponent, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, is \"unfit to serve,\" his most biting denunciation yet of the New York businessman.\nObama said Trump's recent criticism of Muslim parents who lost their U.S. soldier son in Iraq and who publicly criticized Trump's stance toward Muslims, plus the candidate's lack of \"basic knowledge\" about critical issues in Europe, the Middle East and Asia \"means that he's woefully unprepared to do this job.\"\nObama is expected to campaign aggressively for Clinton in the fall run-up to the Nov. 8 elections. He endorsed her right after the primaries and caucuses ended in June. At their first joint campaign appearance in Charlotte, North Carolina, in July, Obama said no one more qualified than Clinton has ever sought to become president.\nHe repeated the assertion at the Democratic National Convention late last month, saying \"there has never been a man or a woman \u2014 not me, not Bill (Clinton), nobody \u2014 more qualified than Hillary Clinton to serve as president of the United States of America.\"\nClinton is not expected to appear with Obama on Monday. She'll be making her first campaign appearance with Vice President Joe Biden in his hometown of Scranton, Pennsylvania.\nObama arrived Aug. 6 on the tony Massachusetts island where he has vacationed during all but one of his eight summers as president. So far, he has indulged in six rounds of golf, his favorite outdoor pastime, six dinner outings at a mix of familiar and new restaurants, two afternoons at the beach and a couple of trail walks.\nThe president is scheduled to return to the White House on Aug. 21.",

Although 2/3 of all applicants were aged 30 \u2013 40, there were 3 young candidates in their 20s, and 5 experienced candidates in their 60s and 70s!\nThe candidates address a wide range of SDGs through their activities. There is a strong focus on environmental and educational goals, but also on tackling poverty and promoting better healthcare.\nThe majority of candidates run their organization on an annual budget of less than 100,000 USD.\nWhat kind of support are they looking for?\nAll 24 candidates were keen to gain fundraising support for their activities, but 67% of candidates also seek Earth Company\u2019s support in opportunity building (introducing partners, PR etc) and 50% in nonprofit management coaching. We can see a clear need for the tailored support that Earth Company provides.\nAt the bottom of this page is an INFOGRAPHIC that provides some insight into our 24 candidates. But first, here is a little more on the six finalists, their life stories, and how they are devoting their lives to fighting social issues in their region (listed in alphabetical order).\nOur Impact Hero 2018 will be chosen from these six finalists and announced in January 2018. Watch this space!\n\u2460 Ram\nFull Name: K. Ramnath Chandrasekhar\nOrganization/Position: Co-founder and Executive Director, Youth For Conservation (YFC), a nonprofit initiative of Trust for Environmental Education (TREE)\nMission: Improving eco-literacy in schools by connecting children to nature using the visual medium and hands-on learning.\nRam\u2019s Story:\nBorn in a rural village in southern India, Ram grew up surrounded by nature and developed a deep love and respect for it. By his early 20s, Ram was traversing the country on photography and filmmaking assignments, documenting the natural world, but also witnessing the ecological degredation happening around him. He began to notice the huge disconnect between humans and the natural world they depend on, which he hypothesised was behind this destruction. He resolved to bridge this gap, using his skills to give children the the opportunity to connect with and develop a love for the natural world.\nWith his goal to use natural-history documentaries to educate young people about the ecosystem and the need for conservation, Ram has already reached 50,000 local students in the past 2 years through his work, using picture books, documentaries and setting up forest schools (that provide a hands-on approach to learning about environmental issues in schools and opportunity to connect with nature) as teaching materials.\nThis is an impressive feat, and something that Ram is quick to note he\u2019s only been able to achieve thanks to the support he\u2019s received from his community, including the school teachers who have collaborated with him. But he dreams about how much more he could achieve if he had more funding and a team behind him.\n\u2461 Maheen\nFull Name: Abdul Matin Sheikh Maheen\nOrganization/Position: CEO and Founder, BacBon Limited / BacBon Foundation\nMission: To be the backbone of society through the power of education\nMaheen\u2019s Story:\nMaheen was born into a poor family in one of the poorest regions of Bangladesh. Despite this unfavourable start in life, thanks to support from those around him \u2013 his math teacher, his family \u2013 and a lot of hard work, Maheen managed to graduate from Dhaka University, the top university in Bangladesh, and go on to Hitotsubashi University in Japan for his masters.\nForty percent of Bangladesh\u2019s 160 million population are under the age of 15. Yet the country\u2019s educational infrastructure falls considerably short of providing for this high youth population, complicated further by the country\u2019s economic challenges. Maheen founded his e-Education project in 2013 to address this challenge, with a vision of using technology to bring about a systemic change in the education system in Bangladesh.\nMaheen has been using online courses to provide educational opportunities to children who would otherwise have very limited access to education and to schools with limited teaching resource. In recent years, his activities have started to garner attention from the government and major companies alike. Maheen believes that education forms the backbone of the society, and he aims to help teachers to make a positive impact on their country through the power of education.\n\u2462 John\nFull Name: Johnpierre Montilla\nOrganization/Position: Founder, Kabataang Gabay sa Positiong Pamumuhay (Peers for Positive Living)\nMission: To provide care to vulnerable youths who have fallen victim to drugs, violence and crime; supporting social reintegration and implementing prevention measures.\nJohn was born in Negros Island, Philippines, into a family of 5 brothers. John\u2019s mother was forced to get married at 16, and John was born despite attempted abortions. He grew up as an unwanted child without knowing what it is to be loved, and eventually ran away from home at the age of 12. Though initially sheltered by his aunt, he was forced out onto the streets after being discovered by his mother. 7 years later, having fallen into child prostitution and gotten involved in drug gangs in his fight to survive, he was finally saved by a governmental organization.\nSaved from an uncertain fate, John was fortunately able to go back to school. In 1998, whilst at university, he founded a nonprofit group with the goal of supporting young people \u2013 as young as 7 years old \u2013 who were abandoned by their parents and had become victims of drug-related crime and child prostitution, just like he had himself. Twenty years after its founding, there are now 16 branches across the country helping 8,000 youths to recover and preventing others from becoming victims in the first place.\nJohn now works for the government in the Department of Social Welfare and Development, reinvesting the majority of his salary into his own organization in his fight to protect vulnerable youths. Despite his position in the organization and the number of youths he has supported, John says that he is still trying to heal the scars from his childhood, and believes that he is no different from the people he is trying to help.\n\u2463 Piter\nFull Name: Piter Harry Panjaitan\nOrganization/Position: Director, Bali Life Foundation\nMission: To shelter street children and provide education and a living environment to them, while delivering skills training opportunities to parents.\nPiter\u2019s Story:\nBrought up in a middle class family, Piter\u2019s mother taught him to share with others, and his father taught him to give back to society. Piter and his older sister have always been active contributors to society; for example his sister in relief efforts after the Indian Ocean off Sumatra earthquake in 2004, and Piter after the Bali attack in 2002.\nWhen Piter\u2019s sister and her husband started Bali Life Foundation in 2006 with the aim of providing street children with food, clothing, shelter and a basic education, they were overwhelmed by demand. Piter got drawn into using his skills as a musician to entertain and cheer up the children, but he soon began to play a key role, eventually taking charge of the organization in 2013. Currently more than 40 children live at Bali Life Foundation, and some have even gone on to attend university.\nHowever, Piter believes that saving orphans is just treating the symptoms \u2013 not the cause \u2013 of a wider problem, and ultimately it would be better if the children hadn\u2019t left their families in the first place. And so now the foundation has started to provide skills training and support to families in order to help them break out of the cycle of poverty and increase their chances of staying together.\nThe organization is just about getting by financially, but lacks the access to opportunities and resources to expand and deepen Bali Life\u2019s impact on the communities they work with. Piter is dedicating every single day to ensuring his organization can continue to help those most in need.\n\u2464 Sebastien\nFull Name: Sebastien Perret\nOrganization/Position: Founder and Executive Director, Vientiane Rescue 1623\nMission: To provide a free rescue service where there is no access to emergency services for road traffic injuries.\nSebastien\u2019s Story:\nSebastien was born in France, and whilst studying to become an elementary school teacher, he volunteered as a firefighter. Sebastien spent a few years working in Paris, but his life would change dramatically when he travelled to Laos as a volunteer.\nAs Laos had started to develop economically, the number of traffic accidents increased every year, and yet there were no emergency services. Despite becoming a critical issue with a growing number of lives being lost on the roads, neither government nor existing NGOs dealt with it, perhaps due to the complexity of the challenge. While working for the Red Cross in 2010, Sebastien decided to launch Laos\u2019 first free emergency service with local youth volunteers, despite having neither the funds nor the experience of running such an organization.\nThe team of volunteers has faced many challenges. For example, there were times, especially at first, when the injured were turned away by doctors when they realised the patients wouldn\u2019t be able to pay for care. But the team is so dedicated that they find ways to overcome these obstacles. So dedicated, for example, that a team member even showed up after having broken a bone the previous day, wanting to find a way to help the team despite their injury!\nThe doctors that once turned them away now thank them for what they do, and the team is starting to see the positive change brought about by their dedication. They are currently exploring new projects and models in order to be able to save a greater number of lives and raise awareness, but are in urgent need of resources.\n\u2465 Rai\nFull Name: Sharad Chandra Rai\nOrganization/Position: Founder and CEO, YouMe Nepal\nMission: To develop solutions to educational inequality and provide educational opportunities to children in rural areas of Nepal, regardless of their caste.\nRai\u2019s Story:\nRai was born and raised in a remote village near the Himalayas in Nepal; so remote that, to this day, they still don\u2019t have local access to gas, drinking water, or electricity. As a child, Rai had to wake up at 4:30 every morning and spend 2 hours fetching water, and then another 2 hours to commute to and from his school. At age 10, he was fortunate to be selected as one of 99 national scholarship recipients out of 10,000 applicants. After graduating from an inner city school, he moved to Japan to study at Ritsumeikan University and then University of Tokyo graduate school, again on a scholarship.\nAlthough Rai was very fortunate to have had the opportunity to receive a high level of education and study abroad, his own country has basic educational needs that are still unmet. For instance, many schools throughout the country struggle with a shortage of teachers.\nSo, in 2011, Rai founded YouMe Nepal in order to help turn this situation around. He has already built 2 YouMe Schools which now cater for 200 enthusiastic students, but his ultimate goal is to provide high quality education in all 75 districts in Nepal.\nRai currently works for Softbank in Japan in order to earn a basic income, and spends a great deal of this on running his organization. As soon as financially possible, he aims to return to Nepal to work full time on YouMe Nepal.\n\u203b Please click on image for a higher resolution PDF file (0.75 MB).",

        "raw_content": "The true potential of the electronic despatch advice\nAmong many other advantages, the integration of the GS1 logistics label including the electronic despatch advice DESADV allows time savings, optimising the receipt of goods and also faster access to supply chain information \u2013 this has been confined by a current study carried out by GS1 Austria.\nExplicit identification and traceability of logistics units along the entire supply chain \u2013 it is possible due to the GS1 logistics label. Combined with the electronic despatch advice DESADV, the flow of goods can optimally be linked to the flow of information. A DESADV study, recently carried out by GS1, has unveiled the requirements and benefit potentials in relation to Austrian retail, manufacturers and logistics providers. The study was conducted by Univ.-Prof. Dr. Maria Madlberger, professor in the Department of Business and Management at Webster University, Vienna.\nAs far as trade is concerned, the benefits of a consistent information flow by using the DESADV and the GS1 logistics label are clearly present and involve impressive saving options. With regard to the receipt of goods, it is possible to save 30 minutes per palette. In addition, audit benefits as well, because complex manual operation processes are no longer required. The DESADV represents an important link between ordering and invoicing and thus, permits closed electronic information flow. It is less well known that the industry also benefits from the GS1 logistics label and the DESADV. An example in the study demonstrates that the DESADV in connection with the GS1 logistics label could revolutionise internal quality assurance.\nUniv.-Prof. Dr. Maria Madlberger, professor in the Department of Business and Management at Webster University, Vienna\nIn this context, logistics providers, who already consider themselves as \u201cdata logistics experts\u201d, also make a major contribution. With increasing frequency they represent the link, which manages the DESADV transfer from industry to trade and implements possible adaptations, if necessary. \u201cThe message to logistics companies reads as follows: the DESADV improves delivery quality which is of great benefit for both, trade and industry,\u201d resumes Madlberger.\nThe potential of the joint use of the electronic despatch advice and the GS1 logistics label has once again been illustrated. It is our wish that it is a motivator for companies to take this next integration step.\nMag. Gregor Herzog, CEO of GS1 Austria\nThe study was presented on 22 September 2015 in the chemist\u2019s wing of Sch\u00f6nbrunn Palace, Vienna.\nGS1 DESADV Study 2015 (only available in German)\nGS1 DESADV Brochure (only available in German)\nPress Release - GS1 DESADV Survey",

        "raw_content": "Port Macquarie Hastings Council, North Coast TAFE and the NSW Business Chamber are proud to announce the launch of their STARTUP Business Development Program to assist aspiring business owners in the Hastings. The partners are committed to the economic viability of our community and believe that this program will help raise the relatively poor success rates of new business in their first year of operation.\nSince announcing its intention late in 2008 already 10 aspiring business owners and eleven Mentors have joined the program and are at various stages of the program\u2019s three phases. The new STARTUP Business Development Program uses Mentors to assist aspiring business operators gain the skills needed for success, especially in their first year of operation. Many start-up businesses fail, often due to a lack of essential business knowledge or skills that, had it been available to aspiring entrepreneurs, may have assured survival and growth.\n\u201cMitch McKay from Port Macquarie Hastings Heritage says the opportunity to discuss business ideas prior to embarking on a venture and the support shown from program facilitators has been extremely useful in fine-tuning his start up approach.\u201d\n\"The start up business development program has provided me with useful knowledge and information to access resources that may not have been available to other aspiring business owners. The sound knowledge that as a client you can draw upon from the mentors and facilitator Grant Burtenshaw assists in practical advice and experience which provides you with both a meaningful and practical tool to assist in starting a business and to provide every opportunity to empower the business owner to meet the challenges of running such a venture; this something that isn't available through a text book. \"\nRob Oakeshott MP, local independent Member says \u201cthe first year or two of any small business are without doubt the hardest, and the next two years will present extra challenges for those making the leap in starting their own venture. All support and advice should therefore be sought by those starting out, and the STARTUP program is a great vehicle for some peer review, some practical advice, and possibly some nuggets of gold to increase profits. I strongly urge new business operators to consider getting involved, Mr Oakeshott said.\n\u201cIt is also a reflection of community strength that NSW Business Chamber, Port Macquarie Hastings Council, and North Coast TAFE are working together on this. They deserve congratulations on this program, said Mr Oakeshott.\n\"Council's Key Business Development Program has had some very encouraging business outcomes for many of the businesses involved. I anticipate similar results will emerge in time from the Start Up Program I would like to applaud the wonderful support provided by both North Coast Institute of TAFE and the NSW Business Chamber in assisting Council to build the foundation stone for something we believe will have great benefit to the local economy.\" Said Trevor Sargeant, Economic Development Manager.\nThose that are contemplating or are in the early stages of a new business can meet with Grant Burtenshaw, the facilitator of the program, at Port Macquarie TAFE Campus cafeteria on Mondays between 11:30and 1pm, or Wauchope Campus on Tuesdays between 12:30 and 1:30pm or at Growers Coffee next to Growers Market in Gordon Street on Tuesdays between 10 & 11am or phone 6584 0910 or 0437 882 002. The program is fully sponsored by the partners.",

This means that, for example, the effect of adding a number by subtracting the same number can be undone. So, if 7 is added to 4, the result is 11. If 7 is subtracted from 11, the addition is undone, and the result is 4.\n4 + 7 = 11 and 11 \u2212; 7 = 4\nMultiplication and division are related in the same way: They are inverse operations that undo each other. If 6 is multiplied by 3, the result is 18. Then 18 can be divided by 3 to undo the multiplication, and the result is 6.\n6 \u00d7 3 = 18 and 18 \u00f7 3 = 6\nMost mathematical operations have an inverse operation that undoes or reverses its effect. The squaring of a number, for example, as in 72 = 49, can be undone by taking the square root. The square root of 49 is 7. Thus, squaring and taking the square root are also inverse operations.\nInverse operations can also be used to find the additive inverse of a specific number. For example, \u22129 is the additive inverse of 9 since the sum of \u22129 and 9 is 0. Additive inverses come in pairs; 9 is the additive inverse of \u22129, just as \u22129 is the additive inverse of 9. Any two numbers are additive inverses if they add up to 0.\nVisualize a pair of additive inverses on the number line. The number 9 and its additive inverse \u22129 are both nine units away from 0 but on opposite sides of 0. For this reason, \u22129 is called the opposite of 9, and 9 is the opposite of \u22129. The opposite of a number may be positive or negative. The opposite of \u22124 is 4, a positive number. The opposite of 8 is \u22128, a negative number. The number \u22122 can be read as \"the opposite of 2\" or as \"negative 2.\"\nA negative number is always to the left of 0 on a number line. Every number on the number line has an additive inverse. The additive inverse of 0 is 0 because 0 + 0 = 0.\nMultiplicative inverses come in pairs also. Any two numbers are multiplicative inverses if they multiply to 1. For example, because the product of 3 and \u2153 is 1, 3 and \u2153 are multiplicative inverses. In the same way, \u2154 and are multiplicative inverses because their product is 1.\nDecimal numbers also have inverses, of course. The decimal number 0.04 can be written as the fraction , so the multiplicative inverse of 0.04 is , which equals 25. This can be checked by multiplying 0.04 and 25 to verify that the product is indeed 1. The additive inverse of 0.04 is - 0.04 because these two numbers add to 0.\nA pair of numbers that multiply to 1, such as \u2153 and 3 or 0.04 and 25, are also called reciprocals. To find the reciprocal of any number, write 1 over that number. Thus \u2153 is the reciprocal of 3. One shortcut for finding the reciprocal of a fraction is to \"flip\" the fraction. The reciprocal of \u2154 is ; the reciprocal of is . Pairs of reciprocals always multiply to give a product of 1.\nEvery number on the number line, except 0, has a multiplicative inverse. The multiplicative inverse of 0, or the reciprocal of 0, is undefined because division by 0 is undefined.\nsee also Integers; Mathematics, definition of; Numbers, real.\nLucia McKay\nAnderson, Raymond. Romping Through Mathematics. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1961.\nSUMMARIZING INVERSES\nInverses can be summarized in a few sentences.\nAdditive inverses add to 0. The additive inverse of a number is the opposite of the number. The additive inverse of a positive number is a negative number.\nMultiplicative inverses multiply to 1. A number and its multiplicative inverse are called reciprocals. The reciprocal of a number is 1 divided by that number. The reciprocal of a fraction is the same as the fraction flipped.\n\"Inverses.\" Mathematics. . Encyclopedia.com. 12 Feb. 2019 <https://www.encyclopedia.com>.\n\"Inverses.\" Mathematics. .

        "raw_content": "MIT machine vision system figures out what it's looking at by itself\nJust give it 45 minutes or so.\nRobotic vision is already pretty good, assuming that it's being used within the narrow bounds of the application for which it's been designed. That's fine for machines that perform a specific movement over and over, such as picking an object off of an assembly line and placing it into a bin. However for robots to become useful enough to not just pack boxes in warehouses but actually help out around our own homes, they'll have to stop being so myopic. And that's where the MIT's \"DON\" system comes in.\nThe DON or \"Dense Object Nets\" is a novel form of machine vision developed at the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL). It generates a \"visual roadmap\" -- basically, collections of visual data points arranged as coordinates. The system will also stitch each of these individual coordinate sets together into a larger coordinate set, the same way your phone can mesh numerous photos together into a single panoramic image. This enables the system to better and more intuitively understand the object's shape and how it works in the context of the environment around it.\n\"At its coarsest, highest level, what you'd get from your computer vision system is object detection,\" PhD student Lucas Manuelli, author of the paper, told Engadget. \"The next finest level would be to do pixel labeling. So that would say, okay, all these pixels are a part of a person or part of the road or the sidewalk. Those first two levels are pretty much a lot of what self-driving car systems would use.\"\n\"But if you're actually trying to interact with an object in a particular way like grab a shoe in a particular way or grab a mug,\" he continued, \"then just having a bounding box or just all these pixels correspond to the mug, isn't enough. Our system is really about getting into the finer level of details within the object... that kind of information is necessary for doing more advanced manipulation tasks.\"\nThat is, the DON system will allow a robot to look at a cup of coffee, properly orient itself to the handle, and realize that the bottom of the mug needs to remain pointing down when the robot picks up the cup to avoid spilling its contents. What's more, the system will allow a robot to pick a specific object out of a pile of similar objects.\n\"Many approaches to manipulation can't identify specific parts of an object across the many orientations that object may encounter,\" Manuelli, wrote in the study. \"For example, existing algorithms would be unable to grasp a mug by its handle, especially if the mug could be in multiple orientations, like upright, or on its side.\"\nThe system relies on an RGB-D sensor which has a combination RGB-depth camera. Best of all, the system trains itself. There's no need to feed the AI hundreds upon thousands of images of an object to the DON in order to teach it. If you want the system to recognize a brown boot, you simply put the robot in a room with a brown boot for a little while. The system will automatically circle the boot, taking reference photos which it uses to generate the coordinate points, then trains itself based on what it's seen. The entire process takes less than an hour.\n\"In factories robots often need complex part feeders to work reliably,\" Manuelli wrote. \"But a system like this that can understand objects' orientations could just take a picture and be able to grasp and adjust the object accordingly.\"\nThe technology is still in its infancy, so don't hold your breath for robot maids to empty your dishwasher any time soon. But eventually, Manuelli hopes that these machines, with their improved eyesight and coordination, become a member of your (ware)household.\nImages: MIT CSAIL\nIn this article: AI, CSAIL, machinevision, MIT, objectrecognition, robots, tomorrow",

        "raw_content": "Nature, history, and luxury all seem to coalesce whenever we're in Galena.\nLong renowned for its status as a rural retreat for Chicagoland travelers, the small town continues to retain its quaint charm and history. My wife, Dee, and I just can\u2019t seem to go more than a few months without visiting.\nWhen it comes to travel, we\u2019re the odd couple\u2014I\u2019m very outdoorsy and spontaneous while Dee has far more sophisticated tastes. Lucky for us, Galena has an exceptionally unique combination of culture and bucolic countryside that continues to inspire our visits. There are hundreds of natural wonders in this part of the state, tucked away in the river country of Northwestern Illinois, but seven stand out as the most majestic.\n, \"author\": { \"@type\": \"Person\", \"name\": Quincy } }\nFrom hiking to kayaking to gazing at the stars, plenty of natural wonders surround the town of Galena in northwest Illinois.\nby Quincy Koetz in Outdoors, Regional Getaways\nHome You are in\u2026 Travel Illinois \u00bb Seven Natural Wonders of Northwest Illinois\nShare 'Seven Natural Wonders of Northwest Illinois'\nNature, history, and luxury all seem to coalesce whenever we're in Galena. Long renowned for its status as a rural retreat for Chicagoland travelers, the small town continues to retain its quaint charm and history.\nNo trip to Galena is complete without spending some time on its river. The mostly mild but occasionally wild tributary bisects the town and creates a scene reminiscent of the Irish countryside. Walking, kayaking and stand-up paddle boarding are the most popular ways to explore the river. You can easily rent all your gear from Fever River Outfitters.\nI had no experience with stand-up paddle boarding before, so we rented a pair for the afternoon to try them out on familiar waters. We paddled up the river with ease\u2014there was no noticeable current that day\u2014and soon found ourselves drifting through a lush forest. What a rejuvenating experience!\nMany bed and breakfasts and hotels are close to the Galena River and downtown. On one of our trips, we stayed at the Queen Anne Guest House, which is a five-minute walk from the river and a 15-minute walk from downtown. One of the joys of a bed and breakfast is meeting other travelers. We ate breakfast with couples from Des Moines, Milwaukee, and even Argentina. It's good to know Galena's reputation carries all the way to the hills of Buenos Aires. Speaking of which\u2026\nHorseshoe Mound Preserve\nStanding at 1,063 feet in altitude and 400 feet above the Mississippi River and Galena, the view from Horseshoe Mound is simply one of the best views in the Midwest. Almost any car can handle the short drive up a dirt road, after which, on a cloudless day, you'll be treated to a 50-mile panorama featuring three states. In our many years of visits, we've driven here simply to take in the view, but several new short hiking trails and interpretive sites have sprung up that illuminate the natural history of the area. The trails are steep, but you can hike the entire park within an hour.\nAnother reason we've made several treks to Horseshoe Mound: the land takes on a new, distinctive character depending on the time of day or season. Fall colors illuminate the valleys with a brilliance that reminds me of my former home in New England. In spring and summer, wildflowers bloom all along the hills\u2014an explosion of color to rival the sunrises and sunsets. Whenever you decide to go, don\u2019t forget your camera.\nHorseshoe Mound Preserve is close to Irish Cottage Boutique Hotel, another place we\u2019ve stayed many times. Delicious breakfasts and the Irish Dancers add to the sense of enchantment\u2014though as long as you're in the Irish spirit, don't miss out on the local whiskey crafted at Blaum Bros. Distilling Co. (an Illinois Made maker) just down the road.\nFarther off the beaten path\u2014but accessible to anyone traveling to Galena\u2014is Apple River Canyon State Park. I often refer to it as the Grand Canyon of Illinois, though it should be noted that Southern Illinois already lays claim to the Little Grand Canyon. Regardless, Apple River's 200-foot-deep chasm carved by the confluence of three rivers is a sight not to be missed. It's beloved by both serious anglers and solitude seekers alike, and many of my favorite vistas are on the Primrose Nature Trail and the River Route Nature Trail, both of which are roughly 1.5 miles in total length.\nLocated 40 miles from Galena, Apple River Canyon State Park is closer to the towns Stockton and Elizabeth\u2014two other gems of Northwest Illinois. Both towns have abundant opportunities for antiquing, and Elizabeth's annual Midwest Garlic Fest draws many culinary travelers with live entertainment, beer, wine, and plenty of garlic-themed dishes.\nJust outside of Jo Daviess County, about 40 minutes from Galena, Mississippi Palisades State Park is home to some of the Midwest's most photogenic landscapes. We've spent hours simply sitting on a bench taking in the views. The half-dozen overlooks with sweeping views of the Mississippi River are so pretty you'll be tempted to pull out your easel and pastels\u2014but you can also make a full day's hike between the towering bluffs. Rock climbers will also appreciate the several developed routes, making the Palisades perhaps the closest outdoor climbing destination for Chicago residents.\nWith plenty of spots for boating, canoeing, and fishing, Savanna, Illinois could very well be the hub of watersports on the upper Mississippi, but it's also an excellent road biking destination. One of Illinois' best outdoor adventures is biking the Great River Trail, which runs 62 miles from Savanna to the Quad Cities. Biking along the riverfront on the idyllic, secluded trail, you\u2019ll feel like Huckleberry Finn on two wheels.\nCasper Bluff Land and Water Reserve\nAlthough Casper Bluff is just 10 minutes from downtown, we were surprised it took us so long to stumble upon this remarkable preserve. Of course, there are the fantastic vistas of the Mississippi River, but the significance of the place is its preservation of the Effigy Mounds, a sacred Native American monument that's existed for more than 1,000 years. Interpretive signs and brochures highlight the unique role this site plays in understanding the First Peoples of the Upper Mississippi River Valley.\nJust off the road is Chestnut Mountain Resort, the premier winter sports destination for Northern Illinois. No need to wait until February to visit, though\u2014the resort is no less active in the summer thanks to a zipline and an alpine slide.\nWinston Tunnel Hiking Trail\nOur all-time favorite hike in Northern Illinois is the one to Winston Tunnel State Nature Area. Originally a railroad tunnel in operation for 84 years, Winston Tunnel was abandoned in the early '70s after officials found it too costly and difficult to maintain. Nature was happy to take over. The rails and spikes have given way to grass and trees, making for a fantastic hiking trail along the railroad bed. When we visited in mid-summer, the creeping foliage swallowed up the tracks creating an almost mystical experience.\nThis is a two-mile hike over some steep terrain that takes about 2 hours. Add extra time for pictures!\nGalena Itself\nThough we love our vibrant life in Chicago, there aren\u2019t many opportunities for stargazing in the big city. Galena is miles away from any source of light pollution, and the starry nights of the town are something I\u2019ve wished I could photograph, if only I wasn't too busy living in the moment.\nFor my money, few places can rival Galena when it comes to stargazing\u2014especially in the winter. When it snows, the town and hills feel transported in time. At night, we felt like we could see every star in the universe.\nGalena is both a destination and a posh basecamp for our continued exploration of Northern Illinois. The folks at the Welcome Center in the Old Market House are always willing to give us fresh ideas and novel places to see on the map. It\u2019s clear that the residents of Northern Illinois clearly cherish the environment and love to showcase it to any traveler.",

        "raw_content": "On 28 June, the conditions for the entry into force of the WHO\u2019s Protocol on fighting illegal tobacco smuggling were met following ratification by a sufficient number of parties to the FCTC. As of May 2019, each tobacco pack will have at least five identification marks, placed in a variety of ways based on each country\u2019s choice, such as tax stamps, barcodes, QR codes or holograms. The information within will be stored in a centralised database that governments can use to track the movement of tobacco.\nThe EU, as a party to the Treaty, has already decided on a system for tracking and tracing tobacco products. This system, however, wildly misses the mark. It is unworkable for mid-sized and smaller firms, and places unnecessary burdens on manufacturers and distributors of fine-cut and niche tobacco products, which are not smuggled in Europe. While it is imperative to fight against illicit tobacco products due to the risk they pose for consumers and for State revenues, the EU\u2019s track and trace proposal fails to achieve this in an effective way, instead setting standards where no competency exists and failing to do so in areas where they are badly needed.\nESTA Secretary General Peter van der Mark said: \u201cThe protocol on illicit trade mandates the creation of a system similar to the one provided for under the 2014 EU Tobacco Products Directive. Unfortunately, in its attempt to meet the requirements of the protocol the EU has failed to take into account the realities of tobacco manufacturing in Member States. Ultimately, the only thing the EU\u2019s \u201csolution\u201d achieves is a very costly system that will drive small and mid-sized manufacturers out of business, leading to further consolidation in the sector.\u201d\nLearn more about ESTA\u2019s position on track and trace",

She witnessed first-hand during factory visits the insane amount of fabric cut away during the garment production process destined for landfill or incineration. She couldn\u2019t keep adding to the problem, so she chose to devote her life to using only rescued fabrics in her designs and inspire others to do the same. At the same time, she didn't want to continue creating products without longevity or purpose, so she looked to her meditation practice for inspiration. After a ton of soul-searching and then lots of prototyping, Ethel Studio was born!\nWe rescue fabrics from fashion company offices and production facilities and then slowly transform them into products in our zero-waste process. Our positive impact is small relative to the massive global textile waste problem, but we passionately strive to prove that artists and designers of any size can and should be a vital part of the circular economy where no materials are wasted.\n// our founder\nMaggie Dimmick is an artist and textile designer based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She earned a B.S. in Apparel Design from Cornell University, after which she worked in textile design & research and color management for New York fashion brands including Eileen Fisher and Elie Tahari. She is passionate about eliminating global textile waste and promoting positive well-being through purposeful art and design.

        "title": "Prophets See World for What It Could Be - EthicsDaily",
        "raw_content": "Prophets See World for What It Could Be\nThe defining characteristic of the biblical prophets was not the ability to predict the future, especially not in the Nostradamus-type way that we tend to think of it in modern times.\nNeither was their role primarily that of acting as the social conscience for ancient Israel, though they certainly did play this role.\nThe defining characteristic of biblical prophecy is the ability to imagine an alternative future to the one being played out according to the accepted thinking of the day, according to Old Testament scholar Walter Brueggeman.\nIn his book, \u201cThe Prophetic Imagination,\u201d Brueggeman shares that the prophet sees what is but doesn\u2019t accept that this is what must be; further, the prophet is able to imagine a what-could-be and vividly conveys that image so that others can see it as well.\nMost important, while the pessimists, \u201crealists\u201d and defenders of the status quo dismiss the prophet\u2019s vision as an idealistic fantasy that will never work in the \u201creal world,\u201d the prophet sees his or her vision not only as what could be, but also as what must be. And then actively works to bring it to pass.\nThe prophet and those who follow him form a sub-community within the larger community.\nYou won\u2019t find a true prophet and his followers in the seats of power and wealth or among those who roll through life sheltered from the harshness of life.\nRather, they rally around a shared injustice, one that they might endure for a short time but is unbearable over the long haul.\nThe prophetic community is marked by a common past that is kept alive through stories and song, a hope that is not just longed for but actively pursued that unfulfilled promises will be met, and a means of communication that is distinctive, imaginative and deeply cherished.\nThink of the civil rights movement of 50 years ago. There was the memory of the slave experience passed down through generations and embodied in story and song. There was the injustice of Jim Crow, the pain of chronic poverty and abuse, and the unwillingness to accept that this would always be.\nThere was also a shared hope, best embodied by Martin Luther King Jr.\u2019s \u201cI Have a Dream\u201d speech that insisted that the promises made in our founding documents must be kept.\nAnd there was a form of discourse distinctive to the African-American community and deeply cherished by it \u2013 black preaching, of course. King\u2019s \u201cI Have a Dream\u201d is more sermon than it is speech.\nIf this sounds strange and unfamiliar, then that is an indication that we have moved outside of the tradition of the biblical prophets, which is particularly troublesome because it was within this stream that Jesus most identified himself.\nOf all the roles assigned to him by his contemporaries \u2013 rabbi, priest, king, military leader \u2013 the role of prophet is the one that Jesus embraced.\nHe came preaching an alternative reality and an alternative future, which he called the Kingdom of God.\nIt was a vision of not only how things can be but also of how things must be on earth.\nChristians need to understand and embrace this vantage point if we are going to continue to claim to be followers of Jesus.\nThe Christian life, discipleship, following Jesus, whatever you want to call it, is about pursuing Jesus\u2019 alternative vision for the world.\nIn that vision is found these core beliefs:\nThat no child should be hungry, poorly clothed or uneducated\nThat no person should be excluded from the community of love and acceptance\nThat the earth\u2019s abundance, which belongs to God, should be shared by all according to the Creator\u2019s will, not according to the desires of those who don\u2019t know when\u2019s enough\nThe Kingdom of God is more than this, but it is at least this.\nWhen we equate the Kingdom of God solely with life in heaven after death, we can envision all of this coming true, but when we realize that the Kingdom of God is God\u2019s plan for the world, it\u2019s hard to see it.\nAfter all, this world is pretty messed up and it\u2019s hard to see how anything can be done with it.\nThat is why it takes faith to be a follower of Jesus. It\u2019s easy to believe that Jesus can get me to heaven when I die; that really doesn\u2019t take that much faith.\nTo believe in a world where peace and justice reign is much harder. Therefore, our prayer must be, \u201cI believe; help my unbelief!\u201d (see Mark 9:24).\nLarry Eubanks is the pastor of First Baptist Church of Frederick, Maryland.

        "raw_content": "The Separation of Church and Jesus\nSeveral years ago a friend of mine was working as a youth minister for a church that was exuberantly evangelistic. The pastor spoke eloquently and often about \u201cwinning the world for Christ.\u201d Unfortunately, the community around the church was \u201cin transition.\u201d That\u2019s code for white families moving out and people of color moving in.\nIn spite of that, my friend decided that if the church was going to win the whole world, why not start with its own neighborhood. In a short time, he had encouraged several young people to attend a recreation event he held at the church during the week and eventually persuaded a couple of the teenagers and their mother to attend a Sunday morning service. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = \u201curn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office\u201d />\nWhen they showed up on the church steps they were greeted by a special usher committee that told them they could not enter. The head usher explained to them that they would probably be more comfortable in a church \u201cof their own kind.\u201d\nThe mother explained that she and her children had been invited by the youth minister to attend the service. The usher nodded and said, \u201cYes, I know. He made a mistake.\u201d With that, the small family left.\nWhen the youth minister heard what happened he confronted the usher and demanded an explanation. The usher told him that it was a long standing position of the church that people of color not attend.\nThe youth minister was shocked. He could not understand how a church could claim to be evangelistic and eager to win the world to Christ, and yet turn the world away when it came to the door. He said to the usher, \u201cIs this the kind of church you think Jesus wants?\u201d\nThe usher replied, \u201cJesus doesn\u2019t have anything to do with this.\u201d\nAnd there it is. Not the racism\u2013that\u2019s just a symptom. I am talking about the separation of Jesus from the church. Apparently there are some areas of life that are simply too important to run the risk of Jesus meddling with them.\nFor instance, not long ago Time magazine ran an article about theologian Stanley Hauerwas and his view on the run up to the war in <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = \u201curn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags\u201d />Iraq. Hauerwas believes that since Jesus taught and practiced non-violence, the Christian community has a responsibility to resist war, or at least approach it with great reluctance. Since there did not seem to be much reluctance, does that mean \u201cJesus doesn\u2019t have anything to do with this?\u201d\nOr how about this: A churchman in a recent letter to the editor made the point that Christians have no real responsibility to seek ways to alleviate poverty. All that is required of us is to practice a little charity as we have opportunity. Is that what Jesus taught\u2013just a little pocket change when we feel the urge? I guess when it comes to issues of substantive economic justice, \u201cJesus doesn\u2019t have anything to do with this.\u201d\nThe New Testament has Jesus saying at one point, \u201cBehold I stand at the door and knock.\u201d The preachers I grew up with used to say that the door on which Jesus was knocking was the metaphorical door to our heart. Jesus wants to come into our lives and save us. Later I learned that the door in question was really the metaphorical door to the church. Jesus was on the outside of the church, trying to get in. I wonder what sort of committee he ran into.",

        "raw_content": "Separate and unequal in suburbia\nA new research brief from the US2010 Project probes the status of minorities in American suburbs. Suburbs in 2010 were as racially and ethnically diverse as were central cities in 1980, and that diversity is still increasing. Yet minorities are not finding equal access to the American dream in the suburbs where they live, a lesson illustrated recently by Ferguson, MO.\nSuburbia has always been less segregated than central cities. Segregation is slowly declining between suburban blacks and whites, but has stayed about the same for Hispanics and Asians over three decades. These trends mirror what is happening for metro areas as a whole.\n\"There are no surprises in the suburban trends in segregation,\" said US 2010 Project Director John Logan, author of the study and a Brown University sociologist. \"What may surprise most people is that suburban blacks and Hispanics are separated into neighborhoods that offer so much less than the neighborhoods of whites and Asians.\"\nThe study shows that suburban blacks and Hispanics live in much higher poverty neighborhoods than whites and Asians, even when they earn the same incomes. Their households earning over $75,000 live in neighborhoods with a higher poverty rate than white households earning less than $40,000.\nIn addition, black and Hispanic children attend suburban schools that are well below average in test performance, while white and Asian children's suburban schools are above the 60th percentile in their state.\nTo download the brief, see http://www.s4.brown.edu/us2010/Data/Report/report12012014.pdf.\nLogan's research on segregation is part of US2010, a program of research on changes in American society in the recent past, supported by the Russell Sage Foundation and Brown University.\n\"The special feature of US2010 is that it tackles questions of change in American society not from the perspective of one scholar or one topic, but with the expertise of a nationwide team of scholars who were brought together for this purpose,\" Logan said.\nMore information is available on the project webpage: http://www.s4.brown.edu/us2010.\nThe US2010 project has produced a 13-chapter book published by the Russell Sage Foundation, which has a 50-year tradition of publishing respected, authoritative, census-based research.

        "raw_content": "Common medication for heart failure patients does not increase activity level\nORLANDO, Fla. -- Heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) -- where the heart becomes stiff and cannot relax or fill properly -- did not have increased exercise tolerance after taking isosorbide mononitrate, compared to a placebo, according to a study presented today at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2015. The findings come from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute's Heart Failure Clinical Research Network and are also published in the New England Journal of Medicine.\nImportantly, the HFpEF patients' daily activity level was assessed with accelerometers, devices patients wore to measure movement throughout the study. Daily activity progressively and significantly decreased as the dose of the nitrate increased, says Margaret Redfield, M.D., first author and cardiologist at Mayo Clinic's Rochester, Minnesota, campus.\n\"It is important to relieve symptoms in heart failure, so patients can be more active. Inactivity perpetuates deconditioning and frailty in heart failure,\" Dr. Redfield says. \"While nitrates are commonly prescribed for symptom relief in HFpEF, the effects of nitrates in patients with HFpEF have not been studied.\"\nIn a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, two-period, 12-week crossover study called the Nitrate's Effect on Activity Tolerance in Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (NEAT-HFpEF) Trial, 110 patients with HFpEF at 20 sites were studied. Patients were randomized into one of two treatment groups:\n1.\tSix weeks of placebo first, followed by six weeks of isosorbide mononitrate 2.\tSix weeks of isosorbide mononitrate, followed by six weeks of placebo\nEach six-week treatment period began with two weeks without drug treatment, considered the baseline. When taking the isosorbide mononitrate, the patients took 30 milligrams per day for a week, then 60 milligrams per day for a week and then finally 120 milligrams per day for at least two weeks. Each patient wore an accelerometer 24 hours a day, except when bathing or swimming, and underwent intermittent exercise tests.\nResults showed that patients were active for 18 fewer minutes per day during the 120-milligram dose of isosorbide mononitrate, compared to when they received a placebo. Previous observational studies using accelerometer data from implanted pacing defibrillator devices in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection indicate that even 10 fewer minutes of activity per day is associated with adverse outcomes, such as death or hospitalization for heart failure.\nDuring all study drug doses (30 to 120milligrams), patients were less active overall per day, compared to when they received the placebo. Compared to the baseline, the average daily accelerometer units decreased progressively with increasing doses of the nitrate, but not the placebo. In addition, the nitrate also did not improve exercise test (six-minute walk distance) or quality of life scores.\n\"We speculated that the daily activity data is more sensitive to the true impact of a drug on overall functional status,\" Dr. Redfield says. \"Unfortunately, nitrates actually decreased daily activity in heart failure patients. The decrease in activity occurred in the absence of adverse effects on six-minute walk distance and in association with directionally adverse, albeit not statistically significant, effects on quality-of-life scores. These findings suggest that activity levels were sensitive to subtle adverse effects of isosorbide mononitrate. Use of patient-worn devices to assess the impact of therapies on patient's lives is an important advancement in the way new therapies are studied.\"\nCo-authors are: James Levine, M.D., Ph.D., Gabe Koepp, Barry Borlaug, M.D., and Horng Chen, M.D., all of Mayo Clinic; Kevin Anstrom, Ph.D., Steven McNulty, and Eric Velazquez, M.D., all of Duke Clinical Research Institute; Martin LeWinter, M.D., University of Vermont Medical Center; Susan Joseph, M.D., Washington University School of Medicine; Sanjiv Shah, M.D., Northwestern University; Marc Semigran, M.D., Harvard University; G.

It was released on the multi-artist Harvest compilation, Picnic \u2013 A Breath of Fresh Air.\nPosted in Songs recorded by Syd Barrett\t- Tagged Syd Barrett\nOctopus (Syd Barrett song)\n\u201cOctopus\u201d (originally recorded as \u201cClowns and Jugglers\u201d also known as \u201cThe Madcap Laughs\u201d,[2] later remade as \u201cOctopus\u201d) is a song by Syd Barrett. It appeared on his first solo album, The Madcap Laughs.\nI carried that about in my head for about six months before I actually wrote it so maybe that\u2019s why it came out so well. The idea was like those number songs like Green Grow the Rushes, O where you have, say, twelve lines each related to the next and an overall theme. It\u2019s like a fool-proof combination of lyrics, really, and then the chorus comes in and changes the tempo but holds the whole thing together.\n\u2014\u2009Syd Barrett, [3]\n\u201cOctopus\u201d directly quotes a section from the poem \u201cRilloby-Rill\u201d by Sir Henry Newbolt. The song features a variety of other influences as well.[4]\nMilky Way (song)\n\u201cMilky Way\u201d is a song by Syd Barrett from the outtakes/rarities album Opel.[1] The song was recorded on 7 June 1970,[1] and produced by Barrett\u2019s friend and former bandmate David Gilmour.[2] It was one of eight then-unreleased tracks to be released on Opel.\nSong by Syd Barrett from the album Opel\nReleased \u2013 17 October 1988\nRecorded \u2013 7 June 1970\nLabel \u2013 Harvest/EMI (UK), Capitol Records (US)\nWriter(s) Syd Barrett\nProducer(s) David Gilmour\nPosted in Songs recorded by Syd Barrett\t- Tagged Opel, Syd Barrett\nHere I Go (Syd Barrett song)\n\u201cHere I Go\u201d is a song by former singer/songwriter of Pink Floyd, Syd Barrett and is the sixth track on his first solo album, The Madcap Laughs.\nThe song tells the story in which the narrator\u2019s girlfriend leaves him because \u201ca big band is far better\u201d than himself. He attempts to win her back by writing her a song, but when he goes to her house to show it to her, he instead finds himself falling in love with her sister.\nPosted in Songs recorded by Syd Barrett\t- Tagged Syd Barrett, The Madcap Laughs\n\u201cDark Globe\u201d (also known as \u201cWouldn\u2019t You Miss Me\u201d)[1] is a song by Syd Barrett, released on his first solo album The Madcap Laughs.\nA session was held on 12 June 1969,[2][3] with producers David Gilmour and Roger Waters,[4] at which Barrett recorded \u201cDark Globe\u201d, among others.[2][3][5] Despite both Gilmour and Waters considering the song finished, a third attempt was done towards the end of the session.[3] The version recorded at the start of the session was released on the finished album.[6] On 26 July,[7] \u201cDark Globe\u201d was recorded again.[1] This take was titled \u201cWouldn\u2019t You Miss Me\u201d on the recording sheet.[1] The track, along with two others, was mixed on 6 August.[8]\n\u201cBob Dylan Blues\u201d is a song written in 1965[1] by Syd Barrett, the founder of Pink Floyd. Recorded during sessions for Barrett, it was unreleased until it turned up in 2001 and was released on The Best of Syd Barrett.\nIt was in a friendly way both gently lampooning Bob Dylan\u2019s early style and success while also embracing Dylan. The song was supposedly written by Barrett after attending a concert in 1964.[1] It\u2019s one of Syd\u2019s very earliest songs written before he even had a publishing deal.[2] This song, along with \u201cTerrapin\u201d and \u201cMaisie\u201d,[3] reflected Barrett\u2019s early interest in the blues.[3]\nThe song was recorded on February 26th 1970,[4][5][6] and was since largely forgotten about until David Gilmour unearthed the tape in his personal collection.[2][7] It was released in 2001 on the Barrett compilation The Best of Syd Barrett: Wouldn\u2019t You Miss Me?.[8]\n\u201cBaby Lemonade\u201d is the opening track to Syd Barrett\u2019s second studio album, Barrett. \u201cBaby Lemonade\u201d, and another song, \u201cGigolo Aunt\u201d,[2] they were a go for Barrett to play and/or sing to an existing backing track.[3] The solo was performed by Barrett, not David Gilmour as is often noted.[1] The intro was actually Barrett simply warming-up on guitar, that Gilmour had managed to record and placed it at the start of the album, making it seem like an intro to the song.[1] It was included on the multi-artist Harvest compilation, A Breath of Fresh Air \u2013 A Harvest Records Anthology 1969\u20131974 in 2007.[4]\nThe song reworks the melody and chord progression of Barrett\u2019s unreleased Pink Floyd composition \u201cScream Thy Last Scream\u201d.",

This goal also supports environmental and climate protection in line with the federal and state governments' climate and energy policy objectives, as well as the system integration of wind energy and related education and research.\nChallenges regarding the planning and approval of wind turbines are becoming more and more complex, especially in terms of the impact on the environment but also in relation to competing uses of the land. With this in mind, the FA Wind brings together the large number of stakeholders throughout Germany and helps them cope with such challenges by providing comprehensive consulting, research and communication services.\nThe FA Wind\u2019s services focus on advising and assisting local governments and planning agencies with regard to their options for developing wind energy. Another emphasis is on sharing knowledge between research institutions, businesses and other public and private bodies to promote onshore wind energy expansion. As a result, the agency serves as a platform for dialogue among different stakeholders working on wind energy expansion.\nTo achieve its objectives, the FA Wind takes on various tasks that can typically be categorized into three areas: consulting, research and communication.\nOur consulting services are primarily aimed at local governments and planning associations. In this context, we cooperate with citizen action groups, environmental associations, scientific institutions and project developers. The overall aim is to help realize concrete projects locally and reach local, regional and national climate protection targets. Here, it is vital to increase acceptance of local wind energy projects by creating value in the region and involving citizens in the planning process.\nMoreover, the FA Wind aims to assist stakeholders from business and politics, combine interests and initiate new partnerships. To achieve this, it is essential to analyse political developments at regular intervals in order to respond in a timely fashion on behalf of environmentally friendly wind energy expansion. Contributing expertise is often necessary at a political level to participate in controversial debates and make sure they're focussed on the facts, remove obstacles and encourage agreement.\nIn the field of research, the FA Wind concerns itself with current issues regarding planning law while taking into account aspects of environmental protection and gaining acceptance as well as issues related to competing uses (e.g. military radar, weather radar, air traffic control). Ultimately, the FA Wind will develop practical advice on how to solve problems. In addition to synoptic evaluations of current national and international research findings, we will focus on editing these findings in a way that is comprehensible. The FA can commission external expert advice on issues requiring a short-notice response.\nExternal communication involves publishing key findings on individual topics and making them available to the interested public as well as explaining opinion-forming processes and current discussions. The emphasis here is on organizing free conferences and dialogue events as well as setting up expert committees. The FA Wind will combine knowledge transfer and public relations in order to represent complex matters in a comprehensible way, with the aim of garnering more acceptance for the environmentally friendly expansion of wind energy.",

        "raw_content": "Prom is the most important and exciting event of your final school year, and it goes without saying that girls are waiting to wear the right outfit. While buying prom dresses, you have two basic choices \u2013 to get a customized gown or to buy one of the ready choices. We recommend the latter, because you never know how a custom outfit would turn out to be, unless you are opting for couture, which isn\u2019t a choice for most girls. So, what does it take to find an elegant outfit? We have a guide to sort the options.\nSet a budget and know your body. As clich\u00e9 as it may sound, setting a budget for the prom is the best thing you can do before stepping out for options. While trends are important, we recommend that you consider your body shape before selecting an outfit. If you are one of the petite girls, a ball gown is exactly what you need, while ladies on the plus side need to be choosy as how the outfit flatters their body.\nGo online. Yes, some of the online stores have prom dresses, skirts, outfits & more, and often at dirt cheap prices. Before you ask, these stores don\u2019t compromise on the style, and you can order a dress in advance to decide how it works for your body. Online stores have the advantage of easy returns and exchange, so in case you don\u2019t want to spend a fortune, that\u2019s the best way to take a call.\nComfort is the key. Eventually, it makes sense to select a prom outfit that will make your feel comfortable. Keep in mind that you would be wearing the outfit through the evening, and there would be dance, food and gossip sessions with friends. Don\u2019t select a gown just because you like it \u2013 The dress should be a part of you.\nDon\u2019t show off in all ways. Prom nights usually have codes these days, but even if you don\u2019t have one, make sure to keep the experimentation in check. While you can still think out of the box, showing a lot of skin is not always recommended. If you are experimenting with the neckline, keep the back in check or vice versa.\nHave fun with accessories. Even if you cannot go out with trends or like to keep the dress simple, accessories are important. Get a good clutch and make sure that you have matching jewelry to go with the outfit.",

        "raw_content": "From Savanna\nWhile I was growing up we moved around a bit with my father\u2019s job. I have often found myself in the role of \u201cnew kid.\u201d However, this time around it doesn\u2019t feel like I\u2019m the new kid, it feels like I\u2019ve just met up with family I haven\u2019t seen in a while. Thank you so much to each of you for your welcoming and hospitable spirit. I am beyond excited to be with you, and I look forward to serving with you.\nMy favorite Bible story (especially to teach children) is found in Joshua chapter 6 \u2013 it\u2019s the story of the fall of Jericho. What I like most about this passage is that Joshua, no matter what the Lord tells him to do, never thinks twice or even questions the Lord\u2019s instruction. God could have told him to crawl around the city on his stomach and Joshua would have done it. This is how I want the next generation of Christians to be built \u2013 strong in faith, rooted entirely in Christ Jesus. Joshua didn\u2019t go rogue or try and rewrite the plan. He just trusted in what the Lord told him, and he showed great faith in his obedience to God.\nIt is my personal and professional goal that we follow Jesus with no questions asked. No matter how tall the walls of our Jericho are, may we march in boldness around it and shout victory.\nI\u2019m looking forward to my first fellowship event with all of you \u2026 the Easter Eggstravaganza! I want to personally invite not only you and your family, but any friends and guests you would like to bring with you. Bring neighbors, teammates, cousins \u2026 anyone you can think of. There will be plenty of candy, Easter eggs, and fun! It will be a wonderful time of connection not only for our church family, but for any un-churched family that may join us that day.\n\u00ab Bible Reading for the Week of April 9, 2017",

        "raw_content": "Operation Ghost Guard\nShare on Twitter Twitter Share on Facebook Facebook (6) Email Email\nWidespread Public Corruption Inside Georgia Prisons\nThe FBI\u2019s Atlanta Division today announced the results of an investigation into widespread public corruption within the Georgia prison system that uncovered extensive crimes carried out by inmates with the help of corrupt guards\u2014crimes whose impact was felt well beyond prison walls.\nNearly 50 former and current Georgia Department of Corrections officers were indicted today for accepting bribes in exchange for protecting what they believed to be drug shipments. Last month, 15 corrections officers, 19 civilians, and 19 inmates were also indicted, and a large amount of contraband\u2014including drugs, weapons, and, in particular, cell phones\u2014was recovered.\nFBI Atlanta Special Agent in Charge J. Britt Johnson called the two-year investigation, dubbed Operation Ghost Guard, \u201cunprecedented\u201d in scope. \u201cWhile the vast majority of those working within Georgia\u2019s correctional facilities are dedicated and loyal officers and employees,\u201d Johnson said, \u201ccriminal and corrupt activities were found in 11 of the 35 state corrections facilities. Central to those illegal activities inside the prisons was the unbridled use of cell phones.\u201d\nU.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia John Horn speaks at a press conference announcing the results of Operation Ghost Guard on February 11, 2016. He was joined by FBI Atlanta Special Agent in Charge J. Britt Johnson, Georgia Department of Corrections Commissioner Homer Bryson, and FBI Atlanta Assistant Special Agent in Charge Doug Korneski (left to right), among other officials.\nToday\u2019s indictments focused on correctional officers who were willing to sell their badges\u2014to use their law enforcement credentials to protect what they believed to be drug deals involving large shipments of methamphetamine and cocaine. In a series of FBI undercover operations, more than 45 officers agreed to protect the supposed drug deals in exchange for thousands of dollars in bribes. During the undercover deals, the officers often wore their official uniforms or displayed their badges to avoid law enforcement scrutiny.\nOperation Ghost Guard, undertaken in collaboration with the Georgia Department of Corrections, revealed that corrupt guards typically earned $500 to $1,000 for smuggling a single cell phone to a prisoner. Between 2014 and 2015, more than 23,500 contraband phones were seized throughout Georgia prisons\u2014which house 50,000 inmates\u2014and those phones were used for a variety of crimes that put prison security and public safety at risk.\nContraband phones were used to organize drug trafficking inside prisons and to perpetrate identity theft and phone scams that raised \u201ctens of thousands of dollars,\u201d said Special Agent Dan Odom. Odom supervises the FBI\u2019s public corruption squad in Atlanta and helped coordinate the Operation Ghost Guard investigation through the FBI-led Atlanta Public Corruption Task Force, which combines the resources of numerous state and local law enforcement agencies in Georgia.\nThe illicit money raised through so-called \u201cjury scams\u201d and other frauds (see sidebar) was often used to bribe prison guards. \u201cThis was a massive investigation,\u201d Odom said. \u201cWe identified and indicted approximately 130 subjects.\u201d He added, \u201cThe FBI could never have worked this case without the assistance of the Department of Corrections. They recognized they had a problem, and they wanted to fix it.\u201d\nOperation Ghost Guard began in May 2014, shortly after a kidnapping that was set in motion by a prisoner with a contraband phone. The prisoner, serving a life sentence in North Carolina, wanted revenge on the prosecutor who helped put him there.\nUsing that contraband phone, the prisoner enlisted the help of fellow gang members in Atlanta who were not incarcerated to kidnap the prosecutor\u2019s father in North Carolina and drive him to Atlanta, where he was to be tortured and killed. The FBI\u2019s Hostage Rescue Team was able to rescue the man before gang members killed him, \u201cbut the risk of life to this individual was very real,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cAll because of a cell phone in a prison.\u201d\nThat incident served as a catalyst for Operation Ghost Guard. It also prompted the FBI\u2019s Public Corruption Unit in Washington, D.C., to launch the nationwide Prison Corruption Initiative.\n\u201cBecause of one small act of corruption\u2014a guard giving a cell phone to an inmate\u2014many serious crimes can occur,\u201d said Special Agent Joe Gonzalez, who heads the Bureau\u2019s Public Corruption Unit at FBI Headquarters. \u201cThis is not just Georgia\u2019s problem, it\u2019s a national problem.\u201d\nGonzalez said that since the Prison Corruption Initiative was launched in June 2014, the number of FBI public corruption cases in prisons nationwide has tripled. \u201cCorrections officers might not be elected officials,\u201d he added, \u201cbut they are public officials sworn to protect the community, and we are going to hold them to that standard.\u201d\nPhone Scams from Prison\nGeorgia inmates with contraband phones and their accomplices outside of prison raised tens of thousands of dollars using various fraud schemes. Here\u2019s how the \u201cjury scam\u201d worked:\nPrisoners with smartphones provided by corrupt guards accessed the Internet to identify and target potential victims from all over the country.\nInmates called potential victims, impersonated law enforcement officials, and claimed the individuals had failed to appear for jury duty. The victims were told they had the choice of either being arrested on warrants or paying fines to have the warrants dismissed.\nTo make the calls seem real, inmates created voicemail greetings on their contraband phones that identified themselves as members of legitimate law enforcement agencies. \u201cThey sounded like deputies from a sheriff\u2019s office,\u201d one FBI agent said. \u201cThey were very sophisticated and believable.\u201d\nMany victims agreed to pay fines. They were instructed to purchase pre-paid cash cards and provide the account number to the inmate, or wire money directly into a pre-paid debit card account held by the inmate.\nWhen inmates received pre-paid cash card account numbers, they used their contraband phones to contact accomplices outside of prison who then transferred the money to a different pre-paid card, which could then be turned into cash.\nThat effectively laundered the money, which could then be transferred back to the inmate.\nFBI Arrests All Remaining Occupiers at Oregon Wildlife Refuge\nThe FBI today brought the last remaining Malheur National Wildlife Refuge occupiers into custody without incident.\nCharges Allege Payday Loan Operators Exploited Millions\nCriminal charges were unsealed today in New York against principals at two large payday loan operations.",

AP\nYet as the Serbian star fine-tuned his attempt to win in Key Biscayne for a record seventh time, he spoke of finally putting an end to the injury torment which has blighted his efforts to return to the form which saw him become the first man since the legendary Australian Rod Laver to hold all four Majors at once less than two years ago.\n\"I actually started playing pain-free in the last two days. It's quite refreshing because everything else had pain involved,\" Djokovic said.\n\"The last few days have been first in a long, long time that I could actually be focused on the game rather than have something in my mind and be worried about whether I am going to have pain or not.\"\nAsked by AFP to clarify his injury situation, Djokovic added: \"Actually it's the first time in years (he has been injury free).\"\nDjokovic's physical problems have clearly affected his once seemingly impenetrable mental strength.\nHe swatted away a question about how he could challenge current World No 1 Roger Federer, the Miami Open reigning champion, preferring to concentrate on the lessons learned during the most arduous of comebacks.\n\"I have learned a lot about myself,\" he said. \"It's been a great, great blessing to go through this. I've been very successful in this sport over the course of the last six, seven years and I've been very grateful to go through that.\n\"But I obviously have had to face different circumstances, situations that I've never faced before. Ever since I started professional tennis my trajectory was always going in the right direction and that has changed.\n\"So I had to open up and figure out things, how to move forward and get inspired and be the best version I can be.\"\nDjokovic, who will play in the second round on Friday, underwent a \"small medical intervention\" following his defeat in Melbourne and has been seen in the build up here simulating a baseball pitch to ensure his right elbow stands up to the test.\n\"It's one of the ways to warm up and get my body and my mind synchronised with a certain motion that I would like to have with my serve because that's where I kind of compromise my elbow,\" he said. \"So I'm trying to strengthen the muscles and get into a certain motion that would support the best possible serve.\n\"I am not yet at my best. Every day is a process for me and it's an opportunity to learn, to grow and get better after the two years of injury and trying to figure out ways how to play pain free.\n\"I have had to modify a lot of things in my game to accept it. When I made this intervention, obviously it's pretty invasive and unfortunately in the end it had to be done. It also carries certain consequences but right now, I'm not playing with the pain which is the most important thing.\n\"All I can do now is to try to embrace the process every day.\"\nTags : 2018 Miami Masters, Australian Open, Indian Wells, Miami Masters, Miami Masters 2018, Miami Open, Miami Open 2018, Novak Djokovic, SportsTracker, Tennis, Tennis News\n1Miami Open: Novak Djokovic says he's playing without pain after years as comeback gathers momentum",

The options to combat the physical niggles are many, but the psychological ones? Hardly any escape route.\nFor Ajay Jayaram, whose career has been marred by injuries, childhood habit of sketching is an escape from the stress. AFP\nFor the former World No 13 Ajay Jayaram, whose career has been marred by injuries, childhood habit of sketching is an escape from the stress and setbacks he endures on the court.\nHaving been the leader of the men's singles pack as recently as April last year, Ajay has now fallen out of the top-50 in as many months, thanks to the series of niggling injuries that derailed the Chembur-bred shuttler\u2019s upward trajectory.\nThe 2018 season hasn\u2019t been great either. Apart from reaching the final of the Vietnam Open 2018, the 31-year-old shuttler has hobbled at international events. The hamstring injury Ajay sustained in the senior national in November last year, left him bewildered. After achieving a career-best ranking of 13 in April last year, a severe hamstring injury stood between him and the top-10.\n\u201cIt has been pretty tough. I had a hamstring problem, a tricky injury that dragged on for 8-9 months,\u201d Ajay told Firstpost.\nHe finally overcame the hamstring issue earlier this season and has managed to feature at international events every month. The Chennai-born lad has been focusing on strengthening a few areas. \u201cI've found myself doing better than I had expected in my recent practice sessions. A few more months and I'll get back to where I was,\u201d he says.\nSo, while Ajay was off the court and cooling his heels, he pursued his beloved hobby of sketching. \u201cArt is an escape from the badminton world for me. Everyone has a creative outlet where they can bring out their emotions. For me, somehow, it's on a piece of paper. I always liked drawing as a kid but somehow I never got around with it later. In fact, I started sketching again two years ago,\u201d he says.\nMessi !! #worldsgreatestfootballer #sketch\nA post shared by Ajay Jayaram (@ajay_289) on Jul 24, 2017 at 7:19pm PDT\nTo train, compete, battle injury layoffs without having a slew of questions lingering around your abilities is a tough ask. Handling the mental aspect is probably the biggest challenge when you're going through a tough time dealing with injuries and even during the latter stages of your career. \u201cDoubts start to creep in,\u201d says Ajay, who made sure he spent enough time with his family and friends while recovering from injuries. \u201cBut when you have such bad days, just remember why you started and why you joined the sport in the first place,\u201d he added later.\nThe former Prakash Padukone Academy and Tom John trainee does not have the luxury of training under a full-time coach at a badminton academy. He is pretty much on his own, waging a lone battle with physical discomfort. However, he\u2019s now used to what the sport has to offer. In fact, he admits that he overtrained quite a few times and injuries can\u2019t just be avoided.\n\u201cYou have to live with it. When you're 31, you've already played some 15 years of competitive badminton in an intense sport, it does take a toll on your body. Sometimes, it's also overworking. It's the same training again and again over a period of years.\u201d\nRegardless of injuries, the World No 50 believes that an athlete needs to try and experiment movements on the court. For him, understanding the body is the answer. \u201cEven (Parupalli) Kashyap is in a similar situation. At some point, you need to find the right balance between training and recovery. I have pushed my self a little more than I should have at times. It's hard to crack a code when it comes to identifying the flaws.\u201d\nOn Wednesday afternoon, Ajay showed glimpses of his quick movements and wrist wizardry to bag the opening game, yet he ran out of gas in the second set and the decider against compatriot Harsheel Dani. He lost the game 21-13, 13-21, 9-21 in the first round of the Syed Modi International 2018 tournament.\nThe upcoming Premier Badminton League as a platform to get back to his best. With new teams and world-class players, the PBL calls for a competitive season. \"The competition is tougher and we have a strong team too,\u201d said the Pune 7 Aces\u2019 shuttler.\nAjay caps off another BWF season not the way he would have wanted, but as he steps off the court, art will come to the rescue. \u201cI'm never going to let this go. Thankfully, injuries won't affect that,\u201d he concludes.\nTags : Ajay Jayaram, Badminton, Parupalli Kashyap, PBL, Prakash Padukone Academy, SportsTracker, Syed Modi International 2018\n1Syed Modi International 2018: Ajay Jayaram's love for art helps him paint away troubles of injury-marred career",

Her ethos? \u201cTo bring personal styling into every woman\u2019s life \u2013 it\u2019s a service that shouldn\u2019t be limited to the rich and famous.\u201d And, basing her advice on high street stores and prices, this is exactly what she does. \u201cI believe in dressing for style, not for fashion,\u201d she emphasises. And what about her own style? \u201cEdgy, fun accessories, lots of leopard print and a pair of trusty Dr. Martens.\u201d\nAnd luckily, she lets slip that one of her favourite colours is blue, which is good, because I\u2019m (once again) clad in my \u2018Frank blue\u2019, or as she calls it, \u2018cobalt blue\u2019. I\u2019m liking it.\nBack to more serious business \u2013 the body shape. According to Susie, there are five different body shapes that women have: the hourglass, the apple, the strawberry, the pear and the rectangle.\n\u201cWe can tone up but we can\u2019t change our natural shape \u2013 we should embrace it instead.\u201d\nI have to confess, that being a bloke, I\u2019m clueless when it comes to this technical shape jargon, so, picking out the pear and the strawberry, these are her guidelines for choosing the right outfits for your shape:\nTHE PEAR SHAPE is narrower on the top and can gain weight quite easily on the bottom half:\nKeep the focus on the top half\nWear interesting necklines\nAdd detail to the top half, such as stripes, texture and bold colours\nTOP TIP: By keeping the bottom half simple will balance you out into more of an hourglass shape.\nTHE STRAWBERRY SHAPE is a wide upper body with fuller arms, big bust, smaller hips and slimmer legs:\nFocus on the detail in the lower half bottom half!\nWear plain, classic tops\n\u201cMany of the strawberry shapes I work with were keen swimmers when they were younger. If you fall into this category, your goal is to balance your figure by accentuating your bottom half.\n\u201cYou can have completely different guidelines for each shape \u2013 different clothes and accessories enhance certain body shapes. It\u2019s all about dressing you,rather than wanting to know why something which suits your friend doesn\u2019t suit you. Ditch the \u2018My friend looks great in this, why don\u2019t I\u2019? You have to dress your individual shape and that\u2019s where I come in \u2013 to help women show off their best bits.\u201d\nShe consults women of all different ages, shapes and sizes. \u201cMany come to me when they\u2019ve lost their way a little bit and don\u2019t know how to dress themselves. A lot of them have had children and/or gone through the menopause. My services (which include online style analysis) can help them get back on track and win back their confidence.\u201d\nShe reveals that she\u2019s worked with a few men in the past, but stresses that her passion is with women. \u201cThere\u2019s so many things you can do with a woman\u2019s style that you just can\u2019t do with men.\u201d\nHighlight of the job? \u201cI call it the \u2018Wizard of Oz\u2019 moment, when a client looks in the mirror and they\u2019re wearing an item they never thought they would and they love what\u2019s staring back at them. They\u2019re looking good and feeling good. Job done!\u201d\nTime\u2019s flown by and she tells me she has an appointment with an 82-year-old woman to get to, leaving me having flash backs of Dorothy\u2019s blue gingham dress suddenly turning into a green emerald one. However, I\u2019m soon brought back to earth by her parting words of wisdom: \u201cAlways remember that a woman is beautiful, no matter the shape of her body.\u201d\nI have been warned\u2026\nIf you\u2019re having a wardrobe dilemma and want to know how to enhance your shape, go to styledbysusie.co.uk.

        "raw_content": "2 FTSE 100 stocks for retirement income AND growth\nG A Chester | Tuesday, 20th June, 2017 | More on: AZN PFG\nDividend stocks are an appealing source of income for retirement. They can offer a relatively high yield and there\u2019s the potential for the dividend to advance ahead of inflation, increasing its real value year after year.\nOf course, profits must grow over time if an increasing dividend is to be sustainable. Today, I\u2019m looking at two FTSE 100 companies which have above-average yields and which I believe are set for strong profit growth in the coming years. Such stocks tend to deliver good capital gains in addition to a high and growing dividend flow.\nFive years of struggle\nLong-term shareholders\u2026\nLong-term shareholders of AstraZeneca (LSE: AZN) have seen their company endure a difficult period over the last five years. Revenue and profits have fallen because patents have expired on some of its top-selling products opening the way for generic competition.\nDespite the difficulties, Astra has at least managed to maintain its dividend \u2014 at $2.80 a share \u2014 although this has meant that its real value to shareholders has been gradually eroded by inflation. However, the good news is that the company\u2019s fortunes are set to improve markedly in the coming years.\nChief executive Pascal Soriot has worked hard to restructure and reinvigorate the business since his arrival in 2012. His efforts are beginning to pay off and the market is beginning to appreciate the potential of the company\u2019s robust pipeline of new drugs. For example, the announcement of positive trial results last month for its Imfinzi treatment of non-small cell lung cancer saw the shares immediately rise by more than 10%.\nAstra fought off a takeover bid from US giant Pfizer three years ago, saying the 5,500p a share offer undervalued the business. As part of the defence, Mr Soriot said Astra was targeting revenue of $45bn by 2023. Revenue last year was $21m, so the rate of top-line growth over the next five years will be considerable if the company is to meet its target. And that should drive strong growth in profits.\nAstra\u2019s shares are currently trading at 5,400p \u2014 just below the level of the Pfizer bid, three years on \u2014 and the $2.80 a share dividend (about 220p at current exchange rates) gives a yield of 4.1%. With the company on the cusp of powering up revenues and profits, investors can hope for a rising dividend stream and continuing appreciation of the share price.\nDominant player\nIn contrast to AstraZeneca, Provident Financial (LSE: PFG) has thrived over the past five years. Strong earnings growth has supported a dividend that\u2019s increased from 77.2p a share in 2012 to 134.6p last year. The UK\u2019s leading non-standard lender consolidated its position as conventional banks became more risk-averse and reluctant to lend in the wake of the financial crisis.\nHas Provident enjoyed a boom period that\u2019s now set to end? I don\u2019t believe so. The company has invested heavily in its businesses and systems and is the dominant player in what is a structurally-changed lending market.\nI\u2019m anticipating profits to continue to grow strongly in the coming years. City analysts are forecasting a dividend increase of over 6% this year, followed by a double-digit percentage next year. This gives a yield of 5%, rising to 5.5% \u2014 at a current share price of 2,885p \u2014 and I see this as another stock that could add strong capital gains to its excellent income prospects.\nFive best buys\nThe Motley Fool's leading analysts have been scouting the market to identify the very best FTSE 100 businesses with the ability to deliver top-notch performance through thick and thin.\nHave Astra and Provident made the cut for our experts' top five? You can discover the answer and read their analysis of all five companies in this exclusive FREE report.\nG A Chester has no position in any shares mentioned.

        "raw_content": "North Korea says it will launch long-range rocket soon\nFOSTER KLUGAssociated Press\nSEOUL, South Korea \u2014 North Korea announced Saturday that it would attempt to launch a long-range rocket in mid-December, a defiant move just eight months after a failed April bid was widely condemned as a violation of a U.N. ban against developing its nuclear and missile programs.\nThe launch, set for Dec. 10 to 22, is likely to heighten already strained tensions with Washington and Seoul as the United States prepares for Barack Obama's second term as U.S. president and South Korea holds its own presidential election on Dec. 19.\nThis would be North Korea's second launch attempt under leader Kim Jong Un, who took power following his father Kim Jong Il's death nearly a year ago. The announcement by North Korea's space agency followed speculation overseas about stepped-up activity at North Korea's west coast launch pad captured in satellite imagery.\nA spokesman for North Korea's Korean Committee for Space Technology said scientists have \"analyzed the mistakes\" made in the failed April launch and improved the precision of its Unha rocket and Kwangmyongsong satellite, according to the official Korean Central News Agency.\nKCNA said the launch was a request of late leader Kim Jong Il, whose Dec. 17, 2011, death North Koreans are expected to mark with some fanfare. The space agency said the rocket would be mounted with a polar-orbiting Earth observation satellite, and maintained its right to develop a peaceful space program.\nWashington considers North Korea's rocket launches to be veiled covers for tests of technology for long-range missiles designed to strike the United States, and such tests are banned by the United Nations.\nNorth Korea has capable short- and medium-range missiles, but long-range launches in 1998, 2006, 2009 and in April of this year ended in failure. North Korea is not known to have succeeded in mounting an atomic bomb on a missile but is believed to have enough weaponized plutonium for at least half a dozen bombs, according to U.S. experts, and in 2010 revealed a uranium enrichment program that could provide a second source of material for nuclear weapons.\nSix-nation negotiations on dismantling North Korea's nuclear program in exchange for aid fell apart in early 2009.\nIn Seoul, South Korean officials have accused North Korea of trying to influence its presidential election with what they consider provocations meant to put pressure on voters and on the United States as the North seeks concessions. Conservative Park Geun-hye, the daughter of late President Park Chung-hee, is facing liberal Moon Jae-in in the South Korean presidential vote. Polls show the candidates in a close race.\nSome analysts, however, question whether North Korean scientists have corrected whatever caused the misfire of its last rocket.\n\"Preparing for a launch less than a year after a failure calls into question whether the North could have analyzed and fixed whatever went wrong,\" David Wright, a physicist with the Union of Concerned Scientists, wrote on the organization's website this week.\nThe United States has criticized North Korea's pursuit of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles as a threat to Asian and world security. In 2009, North Korea conducted rocket and nuclear tests within months of Obama taking office.\n\"A North Korean 'satellite' launch would be a highly provocative act,\" State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said in Washington, D.C. \"Any North Korean launch using ballistic missile technology is in direct violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions.\"\nNorth Korea under its young leader has pledged to bolster its nuclear arsenal unless Washington scraps what the North calls a \"hostile\" policy. North Korea maintains that it is building bombs to defend itself against what it sees as a U.S. nuclear threat in the region.\nThis year is the centennial of the birth of national founder Kim Il Sung, the grandfather of Kim Jong Un. According to North Korean propaganda, 2012 is meant to put the North on a path toward a \"strong, prosperous and great nation.\"\n\"North Korea appears to be under pressure to redeem its April launch failure before the year of the 'strong, prosperous and great nation' ends,\" said Koh Yu-hwan, a North Korea expert at Dongguk University in Seoul.\nHe added that a successful rocket launch would raise North Korea's bargaining power with South Korea and the United States \"because it means the country is closer to developing missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads.\"\nBefore its last two rocket launches, North Korea notified the International Civil Aviation Organization and the International Maritime Organization about its intentions to launch. IMO spokeswoman Natasha Brown said that as of Friday the organization had not been notified by North Korea.\nThe North's announcement comes two days after South Korea canceled what would have been the launch of its first satellite from its own territory. Scientists in Seoul cited technical difficulties. South Korea's Foreign Ministry said in a statement that the North's planned launch is \"a grave provocation and a head-on challenge to the international community.\"\nNorth Korea's missile and nuclear programs will be a challenge for Obama in his second term and for the incoming South Korean leader. Washington's most recent attempt to negotiate a freeze of the North's nuclear program and a test moratorium in exchange for food aid collapsed with the April launch.\nIn Japan, Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda said he would coordinate with the U.S., South Korea, China and Russia in strongly urging the North to refrain from the rocket launch. Kyodo News agency said Japan also postponed high-level talks with North Korea scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday.\nThe Korean Peninsula remains in a state of war because the 1950-53 Korean conflict ended in a truce, not a peace treaty. Washington stations nearly 30,000 troops in South Korea as a buttress against any North Korean aggression. Tens of thousands more are in nearby Japan.",

        "raw_content": "New visitors to the Helm\nRegular visitors to Friends of the Lake District\u2019s land at the Helm, Oxenholme, near Kendal, will have noticed the return of grazing cattle after several months\u2019 absence since last summer.\nSix rare breed Luing cattle (a hardy breed developed in Scotland from Highland cattle), one white beef shorthorn (a rare breed that used to be called \u2018Cumberland White\u2019, a local breed) and a Blue Grey (a white shorthorn/Galloway cross) are now making the Helm their home.\nThe cattle are here with a special task, to help with conservation grazing, along with the seven fell ponies that live on the Helm.\nThe cattle and fell ponies have been chosen to graze the Helm as part of the Friends of the Lake District\u2019s Higher Level Stewardship scheme. This national scheme gives farmers and landowners financial support for work that helps improve conservation.\nOn the Helm the cattle and Fell ponies help with conservation grazing, to control the spread of scrub and gorse. The animals will trample on gorse as they forage and move around the fellside, helping to arrest its spread, as well as creating open ground in their hoof marks so that wild flower seeds can germinate. It means that the area becomes more species rich as other plant varieties have the chance to prosper rather than one or two more dominant species.\nThe cattle are grazed by farmer John Atkinson, of Nibthwaite Grange Farm, near Coniston Water, who does a lot of conservation grazing. He said: \u2018The Helm is a great place for my heifers, away from any bulls and the grass is very good grazing. The cattle are bred to live outside all year round.\u2019\nNicola Evans, a breeder of Fell ponies, currently has seven of her ponies on our property at the Helm. Nicola, an ecologist and member of the Fell Pony Society also puts on Fell pony displays at local events across the region during the summer months.\nNicola said: \u2018I graze the younger ponies on the Helm where food is plentiful. I tend to graze ponies up to two years old. They\u2019re still doing a lot of growing at this age so all the energy goes to good use. I\u2019ve found that mature ponies tend to put on the pounds here as the area provides such a good source of food for them.\n\u2018The ponies share their space with the cattle who are also youngsters but they seem to be making friends. There is no real competition for food or space so it\u2019s a harmonious space at the moment!\u2019\nOur land on the Helm is open to the public and well worth a visit. You\u2019ll see the cattle \u2013 Victoria, Violet, Vimto, Pearl, Vanilla and Viennetta, and the fell ponies - Shannon, Ascot, Gypsy, Britannia, Rowan, Riva and Pluto - enjoying life on the Helm.\nDog walkers are asked to keep dogs under effective control around the animals.\nFor more information and directions to our land at the Helm, please visit our Helm page.\nSince 2007, we have installed gates improving access on the Helm for all to enjoy. We have also introduced a rare breed of fell pony, native to Cumbria, to help with conservation through their grazing. Our volunteers work to maintain the dry stone walls that are a part of its character, as well as being important to keep the fell ponies and cows in. We have planted over 1,500 trees, including oak, rowan, birch, wild cherry and hawthorn to create a new wood for people and wildlife to visit all year round.\nThe Helm benefits from a Higher Level Stewardship Scheme, funded by the \u2018European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development\u2019 which enables us to do habitat and landscape enhancement.",

        "raw_content": "Mutsumi Imai\nBethany L. Ojalehto\nMethodological Approaches\u2014An Overview\nThe Need for and Benefits of Combining Different Approaches\nProbing the Cultural Constitution of Causal Cognition \u2013 A Research Program\nAndrea Bender and Sieghard Beller*\nTo what extent is the way people perceive, represent, and reason about causal relationships dependent on culture? While there have been sporadic attempts to explore this question, a systematic investigation is still lacking. Here, we propose that human causal cognition is not only superficially affected by cultural background, but that it is co-constituted by the cultural nature of the human species. To this end, we take stock of on-going research, with a particular focus on the methodological approaches taken: cross-species comparisons, archeological accounts, developmental studies, cross-cultural, and cross-linguistic experiments, as well as in-depth within-culture analyses of cognitive concepts, processes, and changes over time. We argue that only a combination of these approaches will allow us to integrate different components of cognition, levels of analysis, and points of view\u2014the key requirements for a comprehensive, interdisciplinary research program to advance this field.\nCausal cognition refers to how people perceive, represent, and reason about causal relationships, that is, about the connection between a causing event and its effects. Grasping such relationships is essential to people\u2019s daily lives\u2014for example when trying to understand the laws of nature, social interactions with other people, or causes and treatments of illness\u2014and hence arguably a core concern of human cognition. But does this render cognitive engagement with causality a universal and uniform phenomenon? While decades of research into causal cognition have helped to unravel important principles on which causal perception, learning, or reasoning are based (for an overview, see Waldmann and Hagmayer, 2013), the extent to which these processes and their outcomes may depend on culture has received substantially less attention (for one prominent line of research, see Norenzayan and Nisbett, 2000).\nHere, we defend the position that people\u2019s cultural background does affect whether and how they engage in causal cognition: by shaping the settings in which causal cognition occurs, the manner in which potential factors are pondered on, the selection of relevant factors from a causal field, or the way in which such factors are linguistically expressed. Although on-going research already provides some supporting evidence for this position, efforts need to be intensified to substantiate it. As this poses methodological challenges, we place a particular focus on the various approaches taken, in order to outline a research program for the investigation of cultural impacts in this domain more generally.\nResearch approaches to cultural influences are necessarily pre-structured by whatever definition of \u201cculture\u201d one chooses. While we have no intention of perpetuating a centuries-old debate that cannot, in principle, be resolved, we do consider it important to outline what the topic does and does not include. Taking an anthropological perspective (Bender and Beller, 2011b) and following Tylor\u2019s (1871, p. 1) classic definition, we understand \u201cculture\u201d as including the knowledge, beliefs, capabilities, and habits that people have acquired as members of society (for a recent debate on the term culture, see Brumann, 1999, and the comments to it). As this operationalization of culture encompasses language, not only as a medium but also as a core component, evidence of linguistic influences on causal cognition will also be treated as relevant instances.\nBased on this working definition, we first briefly describe different methodological approaches taken to investigate the question at stake, before explicating why we consider it fundamental to combine these approaches in order to obtain a comprehensive perspective on the cultural influences on causal cognition.\nCausal cognition in a more narrow sense has been a key topic in philosophy and cognitive psychology, and has therefore mainly been tackled through conceptual analyses and psychological experiments. The repertoire of possible approaches, however, is substantially larger, ranging from ethnographic observations to statistical analyses of linguistic data, thereby spanning a wide spectrum of disciplines. It includes cross-species comparisons, archeological accounts, developmental studies, cross-cultural and cross-linguistic experiments, as well as in-depth within-culture analyses of cognitive concepts, processes, and changes over time.\nCross-Species Comparisons\nEven if we are actually interested in those aspects of human causal cognition that may be affected by culture and are thus variable, an understanding of what is shared by humans seems indispensable. One question to be asked is therefore: Which components of causal cognition are invariant across species, and which are distinct to humans and set them apart from their closest phylogenetic relatives, the great apes (Hanus et al., 2011), or other highly intelligent and social species like crows (Taylor, 2014) or rats (Blaisdell et al., 2006)? Answers to this question would not only provide a baseline for further investigations, but a valuable window into the complex interactions between changes in causal cognition brought about by individual learning, cultural transmission, and evolution.\nAs causal cognition in non-human species cannot be directly investigated, tool use is typically taken as an indicator of causal understanding (overview in Taylor and Gray, 2014). Comparative research on human and non-human causal cognition has not yet reached generally agreed-upon conclusions. Penn and Povinelli (2007), for instance, concede in their critical review that non-human causal cognition appears to be significantly more sophisticated than traditional association theories of causal learning would allow for, but they also claim that non-human species are probably not capable of any human-like causal-logical inferences about abstract causal relations. This conclusion is contested now by experimental studies which demonstrate that some of the great apes base their behavior on inferences from causal cues and perhaps even on a deeper understanding of causal principles (Mendes et al., 2007; Hanus and Call, 2011), and some corvids even take hidden causal agents into account (Taylor et al., 2012; and see Taylor, 2014).\nDespite the controversy in this field, comparative research across species remains indispensable for delineating those components of causal cognition that are specific to humans, and thus potentially susceptible to cultural impact, from those that are part of our phylogenetic heritage. These attempts need to take into account, however, that not only humans but also many non-human species form complex societies, which are partly based on learning and hence are able to pass on behaviors culturally, at least to some extent (for debate on this, see, e.g., Laland and Hoppitt, 2003; Whiten and van Schaik, 2007).\nArcheological Accounts\nOnce we know which components of causal cognition are specifically human, we can begin to ask questions such as: did they emerge as a by-product of cognitive evolution, or were they acquired during individual learning, stored and scaffolded by cultural means? Questions like these lie in the scope of paleontology and archeology; yet attempts to trace the evolution of human causal cognition through archeological records have commenced only very recently (Haidle, 2014). Due to the sparseness of available data, such studies have also remained largely theoretical, focusing on tool use as indicator of causal reasoning and understanding in an even more indirect way than the comparative psychological research described above (McCormack et al., 2011; Taylor and Gray, 2014).\nThe key idea is to consider the construction of tools (the material remains of which constitute virtually the only available data on past human cognition and behavior) as attempts to increase a person\u2019s agency by solving a concrete problem. Typically, the process of constructing and optimizing tools for specific purposes presupposes an understanding of, or at least experimentations on, cause-effect relations. The distance between the perceived problem and the contrived solution has increased continuously over the course of human evolution: from the use of simple tools, through effective chaining for secondary and modular tools, to composite tools, complementary tool sets, and the highly abstract use of notional tools based on symbols (Haidle, 2014).\nAlthough this archeological analysis, functioning as a kind of reverse engineering, only provides us with rough estimates of the time points in human evolution when certain components of causal cognition must have been in place, it nevertheless helps us to specify not only the changes that took place, but also the processes by which they were presumably brought about, for example, in terms of culturally relevant ontologies that underpin and influence causal reasoning processes (Alberti and Bray, 2009). Another example that might also provide archeological evidence for causal reasoning is the origin and sophistication of farming techniques, combining tool use with natural studies and social factors (Mithen, 2007).\nAn alternative approach disentangling the complex interactions between individual learning, cultural transmission, and evolutionary influences on causal cognition is taken in developmental psychology, where the assumption is widespread that a child\u2019s responses, observed in infancy, or unfolding at fixed ages as a product of maturation, can be taken as evidence for concepts and cognitive processes deeply rooted in phylogeny and ontology.\nSpelke and Kinzler (2007), in particular, conceptualize such \u201ccore knowledge\u201d as distinct domain-specific modules for reasoning about physical, biological, and social or psychological events. Each domain is defined by entities which have specific causal properties, marked, for example, by the way they move: Physical entities are set in motion by external forces, while animates, the inhabitants of the biological world, can move on their own initiative. The psychological/social domain, finally, is populated by sentient agents, whose behavior is caused by mental states such as knowledge, beliefs, goals, and intentions.\nSuch a priori knowledge is investigated with children who are as young and unaffected by culture as possible, taking looking time, and gaze direction as indicators (e.g., Sobel and Kirkham, 2006; Rakison and Krogh, 2012; for a critical position see Saxe and Carey, 2006). Although these studies do provide valuable data on components of causal cognition that may be universal, respective inferences would be much stronger if they were not tested almost exclusively in children from a Western urban background. Drawing on broader samples not only allows for more reliable generalizations, but may also change the very inferences which are reached. For instance, not all generalizations drawn from the core-knowledge approach hold cross-culturally, as shown for the biological domain in a series of studies by Medin and colleagues (e.g., Medin and Atran, 2004; Bang et al., 2007; Medin et al., 2014; Ojalehto et al., 2015).\nCross-Cultural and Cross-Linguistic Experiments\nThe gold standard for scrutinizing cultural influences has been cross-cultural comparisons of participants\u2019 assessments of causal scenarios. One way of doing this, which aims at tapping into perception and attribution tendencies, is by collecting verbally expressed assessments of animated displays or vignettes that visualize or describe causal events. While such studies are typically alike in that they yield cultural differences, for instance in which of the involved entities is assigned more causal relevance, the inferences the researchers draw regarding the underlying mechanisms diverge substantially. Morris and Peng (1994), for instance, attribute the differences to implicit theories, which favor a general focus on either internal or external causes of behavior (Peng and Knowles, 2003), whereas others point at linguistic cues and content variables as the relevant factors for causal assignments (Beller et al., 2009; Bender and Beller, 2011a; and see Le Guen et al., 2015).\nAs languages differ substantially in how they encode information about causal relations and events (e.g., Wolff et al., 2009; Bohnemeyer et al., 2010), cross-linguistic studies and linguistic variations can help to uncover the role that language may play in shaping causal cognition\u2014not only as a medium of culture, but also as a factor in its own right. Two sets of studies on this question indicate that a change of the linguistic framing can be sufficient to shift people\u2019s attention to different aspects of an event (e.g., from the causer to the affected object), with consequences for memory processes, the assignment of blame, and even the severity of punishment for human agents involved (Beller et al., 2009; Fausey and Boroditsky, 2010; Fausey et al., 2010).\nHigher-order cognitive and behavioral differences based on distinct causal understanding and representations have also been tackled in cross-cultural studies (e.g., G\u00fcss et al., 2010), but require more sophisticated tasks and designs. One approach taken in research on complex problem solving, for instance, is to construct microworlds in which participants are responsible for retaining a balance between several interconnected factors (overview in G\u00fcss and Robinson, 2014). These studies yield data sets that tend to be richer but also more complex than simple causal assignment tasks.\nIn-Depth Within-Culture Analyses\nIf the underlying theoretical models are sufficiently concrete to afford experimental designs rather than the quasi-experimental designs of cross-cultural research, or if the ethnographic information is sufficiently detailed to warrant in-depth analyses, it is also possible to test predictions and interpretations within cultures and languages. In an early study of this type, the anthropologist Kempton (1986) showed how different types of thermostat usage can be traced back to different cultural models of how these artifacts function. More recently, studies employing experimental designs uncovered that different cultural models of causal dependencies may co-exist in the same mind and are accessed in different contexts (Astuti and Harris, 2008; Legare and Gelman, 2008; and see Tucker et al., 2015). Likewise, linguist Alessandro Duranti (1994) demonstrated how linguistic cues such as ergative marking of agency may be used in diverse contexts to emphasize or deemphasize responsibility. And also the extent to which a property like intentionality is considered when judging wrong-doing may depend on context (Astuti and Bloch, 2015; Sousa et al., 2015).\nA particularly detailed account of how respective information can be gleaned from ethnographic descriptions of cultural contexts that no longer exist\u2014and critical remarks on the diligence needed to assess them\u2014is provided by Widlok (2014). He emphasizes that culture-specific notions of time, linearity, and sequence as well as extensions of agency and personhood are crucial for a more thorough understanding of cultural differences in causal cognition. The account contains a caveat on the malleability of \u201cculture\u201d over time and depending on context and perspective. This point is also emphasized by Iliev and Ojalehto (2015), who discuss within-culture diachronic analyses as a necessary complement to cross-cultural investigations. Specifically, they describe automated text analysis as a promising tool to investigate how attention to, and notions of, causality may have changed over time within a cultural/linguistic context, thus shedding more light on the complex links between culture, language and cognition.\nThe studies described in the previous section take radically different methodological approaches to investigate the cultural constitution of causal cognition, and their findings are not, prima facie, easy to integrate. We still argue that combining these approaches, and the insights they yield, is indispensable for obtaining a comprehensive understanding of the question at stake\u2014for at least three reasons: They allow us to target different components of cognition, to take different levels of analysis into account, and to broaden our perspective by considering the points of view of other disciplines.\nComponents of Cognition\nThe methodological approaches described above target partly different components of cognition. While, for instance, comparative research across species, and archeological recapitulations of human evolution are both concerned with tool use as core indicator of causal understanding in problem-solving (Taylor and Gray, 2014), they still differ in their specific interests, with the former focusing more on the cues assumed to facilitate causal perception and learning (e.g., Hanus et al., 2011), and the latter more on forward-planning and the organization of problem-solving processes (Haidle, 2014).\nMore generally, the components tackled by any of these approaches include perceptions and representation of causal relations (e.g., Bender and Beller, 2011a; Le Guen et al., 2015; Ojalehto et al., 2015; Tucker et al., 2015), learning processes and outcomes (Blaisdell et al., 2006), verbal expressions and explanations (Iliev and Ojalehto, 2015), as well as higher-order cognitive effects on attention, memorization, and recall (Fausey et al., 2010), categorization and inferences (Medin and Atran, 2004), causal attributions in social interactions (Morris and Peng, 1994), judgments of blameworthiness and punishment (Fausey and Boroditsky, 2010; Astuti and Bloch, 2015), problem-solving in complex situations (G\u00fcss and Robinson, 2014), strategies on how to handle artifacts in daily life (Kempton, 1986), and ways in which illnesses are explained and treated (Hagmayer and Engelmann, 2014; Luhrmann et al., 2015).\nCombining the different approaches and their insights therefore yields a much more comprehensive understanding not only of what causal cognition may encompass, but also of the various ways in which culture may actually influence it.\nAs the various methodological approaches target different components of cognition, they also allow different levels of analysis to be taken into account. These levels range from a long-term, evolutionary level (phylogenesis), through changes over historic time (sociogenesis), to small-scale development in infants and children (ontogenesis), and to actual cognition (microgenesis).\nThese different levels of analysis can be fruitfully combined to complement and refine each other. For instance, both the statistical corpus-based analysis of verbal material by Iliev and Ojalehto (2015) and the detailed conceptual analysis of old ethnographic material by Widlok (2014) rely heavily on text, while taking divergent approaches: one that grossly abstracts over the topic and details of texts, and one that sees these very factors as essential for getting to the gist. The former (Iliev and Ojalehto, 2015) highlights the extent to which the concern with a specific topic, the usage of respective vocabulary, and perhaps even the conceptual ingredients can change over (historic) time within a given population. The detailed conceptual analysis by Widlok (2014), in turn, pinpoints how much contextual information is actually needed to glean valuable information from concrete descriptions (see also Astuti and Bloch, 2015). Combining them could therefore help to further improve them both: by giving more precision to the statistical analysis on the one hand, and by broadening the context for the ethnographic exploration on the other.\nIn line with the levels of analysis that the different methodological approaches target, these approaches are also characteristic for specific disciplinary traditions, including archeology, paleontology, primatology, and anthropology, various subfields of psychology (like comparative, developmental, cognitive, and social psychology), computational linguistics, (ethno-)linguistics, and philosophy. Half a century of efforts to establish an integrative cognitive science may have taught us that this is a difficult endeavor (e.g., Bender et al., 2010; Beller et al., 2012)\u2014but it is one that is worth the trouble.\nEngaging in successful cross-disciplinary research activities requires a great deal of reflexivity among the scholars involved, and both interactional expertise and epistemic awareness. The former is the linguistic ability to engage about the practices of another discipline without the ability to actually engage in these practices (Collins and Evans, 2002), while the latter is a metacognitive understanding that different research practices carry with them assumptions about what constitutes \u2018good science\u2019 which need to be respected to enable fruitful critical dialog between the participating researchers (Nersessian, 2015).\nCombining various perspectives across disciplines is not only a value in and of itself, but also promises greater insights (Barrett et al., 2012; Bender et al., 2015) and even novel research questions (e.g., Osbeck et al., 2011; Luhrmann et al., 2015; Moya et al., 2015) that would eventually help to advance the intrinsically interdisciplinary field of causal cognition. Exemplary cases of such bridge-building work include, among others, the collaborations of anthropologists and psychologists on the co-existence of cultural models regarding causal dependencies (Astuti and Harris, 2008; Watson-Jones et al., 2015), on causal reasoning in the biological domain (e.g., Medin and Atran, 2004; Bang et al., 2007), and on explanations for disorders (Hagmayer and Engelmann, 2014; Luhrmann et al., 2015).\nHumans are inherently social and cultural beings. Their very success as a species over time hinged on the fact that cultural transmission dramatically propelled the learning process (Tennie et al., 2009; Tomasello, 2014). How this distinctively human power, in turn, impacts on the way humans perceive, represent, and reason about causal relationships is still poorly explored. It is thus high time for an interdisciplinary multi-level research program that investigates the cultural constitution of causal cognition more systematically for its various components, on different levels of analysis, and from diverse points of views.\nThis article represents joint work of both authors.\nThis perspective emerged from joint work of the international Research Group \u201cThe cultural constitution of causal cognition: Re-integrating anthropology into the cognitive sciences\u201d, funded by the Center for Interdisciplinary Research (ZiF) at Bielefeld University. Additional support was provided by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft DFG through a grant for the project \u201cDie Zuweisung kausaler Rollen in der physikalischen Dom\u00e4ne\u201d to SB and AB (Be 2178/5-1) and by the Strategic Programme for International Research and Education (SPIRE, 2014) of the University of Bergen.

Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 26 p.\nThe devastating impact of wildfire on residents living in fire prone areas has become an all too common media story in recent years. While significant efforts have been made to inform residents in fire prone areas of the risk, it is not clear to what extent property owners are taking action to reduce risk. Likewise, we know little about what factors are related to taking action to reduce risk. In an effort to explore these issues further and to better characterize the wildland urban interface (WUI) residents of Boulder County, Colorado, a general population survey of WUI residents was implemented. The survey was designed to provide information regarding knowledge, concern, and activities related to wildfire and wildfire risk mitigation. Survey results suggest that word had gotten out about wildfire risk as most survey respondents knew about the risk when they decided to purchase a home in a fire prone area. Likewise, survey respondents expressed concern that a wildfire would damage their home or property. Completing more wildfire risk mitigation actions was found to be related to first-hand experience with wildfire and perceptions of wildfire risk.\nChamp, Patricia A.; Brenkert-Smith, Hannah; Flores, Nicholas. 2011.

The Pitofsky Hearings were the first major step in establishing the FTC as a key modern center for competition policy research and development and sought to articulate recommendations that would effectively ensure the competitiveness of U.S. markets without imposing unnecessary costs on private parties or governmental processes.\nThe Pitofsky hearings re-energized one of the FTC\u2019s most valuable functions \u2013 to gather leaders in business, economics, law, and related disciplines to discuss tough, emerging problems and prepare public reports on the facts, issues, governing law, and the need, as appropriate, for change.\nPurpose of the hearings and public comments\nThe hearings and public comment process will provide opportunities for FTC staff and leadership to listen to interested persons and outside experts representing a broad and diverse range of viewpoints. Additionally, the hearings will stimulate thoughtful internal and external evaluation of the FTC\u2019s near- and long-term law enforcement and policy agenda. The hearings may identify areas for enforcement and policy guidance, including improvements to the agency\u2019s investigation and law enforcement processes, as well as areas that warrant additional study.\nThe FTC has always been committed to self-examination and critical thinking, to ensure that our enforcement and policy efforts keep pace with changes in the economy.\u201d\nFTC Chairman Joe Simons, June 20, 2018\nThe Commission will invite public comment in stages throughout the term of the hearings.\nThe Commission will invite comments on the topic covered in each hearing session. The FTC will issue a news release before each session to inform the public of the agenda, the date and location, and instructions on submitting comments.\nThe Commission will also invite public comment upon completion of the entire series of hearings.\nThrough August 20, 2018, the Commission accepted public comment on the topics identified in the announcement. Each topic description includes issues of particular interest to the Commission, but comments need not be restricted to these subjects.\nPublic comments may address one or more of the above topics generally, or may address them with respect to a specific industry, such as the health care, high-tech, or energy industries. Any additional topics for comment will be identified in later notices.\nThe hearings began in September 2018 and are expected to continue through January 2019, and will consist of 15 to 20 public sessions. All hearings will be webcast, transcribed, and placed on the public record.\nIn advance of these hearings, the FTC accepted public comments on 11 topics. Additional comments on each topic may be submitted to the FTC during the periods identified in subsequent news releases associated with individual hearings. Please see Public Comments Topics and Process to submit comments for topics open for comment related to specific hearings and to review past topics and public comments.\nFTC Announces March 2019 Session on International Engagement as Part of its Hearings on Competition and Consumer Protection in the 21st Century\nFTC Announces New Sessions of its Hearings on Competition and Consumer Protection in the 21st Century (press release, February 13, 2019)\nFTC Announces Final Agenda for Ninth Session of its Hearings on Competition and Consumer Protection in the 21st Century (press release, November 29, 2018)\nFTC Announces Agenda for the Eighth Session of its Hearings on Competition and Consumer Protection in the 21st Century; Session at New York University to Focus on \u201cCommon Ownership\u201d (press release, November 20, 2018)\nFTC Announces Agenda for the Seventh Session of its Hearings on Competition and Consumer Protection in the 21st Century; Session at Howard University to Focus on Algorithms, Artificial Intelligence, and Predictive Analytics (press release, October 31, 2018)\nFTC Announces Agenda for the Sixth Session of Its Hearings on Competition and Consumer Protection in the 21st Century (press release, October 29, 2018)\nFTC Announces Sessions on Consumer Privacy and Data Security As Part of its Hearings on Competition and Consumer Protection in the 21st Century (press release, October 26, 2018)\nFTC Announces Agenda for Fifth Session of its Hearings on Competition and Consumer Protection in the 21st Century (press release, October 12, 2018)\nFTC Announces Agenda for the Fourth Session of Its Hearings on Competition and Consumer Protection in the 21st Century (press release, October 11, 2018)\nFTC Announces Agenda for the Third Session of Its Hearings on Competition and Consumer Protection in the 21st Century (press release, October 2, 2018)\nFTC Announces Second Session of Hearings on Competition and Consumer Protection in the 21st Century September 21 at the FTC (press release, September 10, 2018)\nFTC Announces Opening Session of Hearings on Competition and Consumer Protection in the 21st Century September 13-14 at Georgetown University Law Center (press release, August 24, 2018)\nFTC Announces Hearings On Competition and Consumer Protection in the 21st Century (press release, June 20, 2018)\nPrepared Remarks of Chairman Joe Simons Announcing the Competition and Consumer Protection Hearings (June 20, 2018)\nEmail us at CCPhearings@ftc.gov",

In his work exploring altered states of consciousness, he came to see how ludicrous the traditional medical understanding of these non-ordinary states of consciousness was. For example, in today\u2019s lexicon of pathology, Buddha would be labeled schizophrenic, or at least borderline and St. John of the Cross a heredity degenerative.\nCurrently, Dr. Grof is Professor of Psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) in the Department of Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness, and teaches at the Pacifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara, CA.\nFeaturing: Stanislav Grof",

        "raw_content": "luisa.devita\nResearch Fellow in Economic Sociology at Sapienza, University of Rome, is a professor of Sociology of Organizations and Policies of Equal Opportunities. PhD in Sociology, has as its main research interest the analysis of the labor market with specific reference to gender differences and related forms of discrimination as well as gender, age, ethnicity and sexual orientation. The analysis of gender-related discrimination in the labor market has focused on the analysis of individual trajectories of women who experience non-traditional paths of employment. More specifically, the research activities have focused on: 1 Self-employment 2 The professional status of women in the STEM carrier (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) With reference of gender inequality in Stem fields the aim of my research activities is to explore not only the mechanisms of exclusion, but also how scientific knowledge is produced and situated. The various ways whereby science and technology are constructed as rational, positive, neutral, and then male, have been scrutinsed along with the ethical and political implications of such gender bias. Technoscientific fields are not only quantitatively dominated by men, but also shaped by discourses, practices and habitus that embody masculine values. In this regard, the problematic lies in analysing organizational settings wherein technoscience is designed and produced, by means of material artefacts, discursive practices as well as conscious or unconscious assumptions as to the role of actors and their power positions. In my research i\u2019m less concerned with `more women in science\u2019 but with furthering debate on techo-science organisation and the power effects of techno-science discourse. On the one hand, I observe how different epistemic communities are shaped through the establishment of specific organizations and workplace cultures (laboratories, research groups, associations); on the other hand, I examine how the construction of scientific and technical knowledge is entangled with beliefs and values related to particular conceptions of masculinity and femininity.\nSocial sciences, Economics and business, Sociology\nScience stakeholders, Scientists & Researcher, Science academies, Publishers, editors, Journals, Policy stakeholders, Employment policy makers, Gender equality policy makers, National Contact Point (NCP), Gender equality stakeholders, Gender networks (women\u2019s, men's, sexuality,...)\nLabour market Educational policies Entrepreneurschip",

        "raw_content": "Brexit impact to geotechnics could extend beyond investment and skills\nUncertainty surrounding the UK\u2019s Brexit deal has led Arup director Tim Chapman to question whether the ground engineering sector should consider stockpiling geotechnical consumables ahead of the exit from the EU in March 2019.\n\u201cIf agreements are put in place, then in principle there should be minimal impact to the sector but we need to consider the potential,\u201d said Chapman at yesterday\u2019s British Drilling Association Solutions for the future of the geotechnical industry conference.\nChapman also warned that Brexit could reduce the ability to export geotechnical products to the EU.\n\u201cIt is already widely acknowledged that Brexit has wiped 3% off UK growth and the country has gone from the best performing economy in the EU, to the worst,\u201d he said. \u201cWe are now less than six months from the first staging point in the Brexit process and there is still lots to sort out, which will have an impact on the ground engineering industry.\n\u201cCurrent opinion polls suggest there will be ongoing confusion beyond the March 2019 milestone and that is a toxic situation.\n\u201cPrivate investors are being deterred from making decisions. The expected fall in tax take means that the government may need to make savings and, from past experience, infrastructure spending is one of the fastest areas to turn off in order to make savings.\u201d\nChapman also said that Brexit was already having an impact on staff with many foreign engineers already opting to take jobs outside of the UK rather than wait and see what changes Brexit brings.\nDespite the expected impact in the short term, Chapman urged the industry to understand the value that its work delivers and focus on digitisation and automation in order to improve productivity.\nRankine lecturer voices Brexit concerns\nAhead of his Rankine Lecture next month, George Gazetas has voiced his concern about the UK\u2019s imminent departure from the European Union.",

        "raw_content": "Know how to address drunk driving charges this winter\nHeading out to the clubs at night is a good way to make some fun memories with your friends. You need to plan ahead to make sure that you aren't going to end your night on a sour note by being arrested for drunk driving.\nThere are two trains of thought on drunk driving charges. One is that they aren't a big deal. The other is that they are life-changing charges. Both of these have some truth, so make sure that you don't get sidetracked into believing one or other.\nDrunk driving charges are serious matters, but they don't have the same penalties possible that a murder charge has. They can also change your life because you might lose your driver's license and there is a chance that they could cost you your career.\nIt is important that you think clearly when you are facing drunk driving charges. You shouldn't admit that you were driving drunk, but you shouldn't make false statements. It might be best for you to invoke your right to remain silent and your right to have your attorney present when you are questioned.\nWe realize that you might not be thinking clearly when you are pulled over. Even the soberest person might be apprehensive when he or she is stopped by a police officer. The one thing that you need to realize is that everything you say and do is being watched and paid attention to.\nWhen you are ready to work on your defense, we can help you to look into the possibilities so that you can come up with a plan you feel will work for your case.\nRelated Posts: Your holiday can be ruined by a DUI charge, New Hampshire bills sets conditions for driverless cars, Know what to consider when you are working on a DUI defense, Counting backwards isn't a standard field sobriety test",

        "title": "Director talks about Tom Hardy's Warrior - Get Surrey",
        "raw_content": "Director talks about Tom Hardy's Warrior\nHAUNTED by a tragic past, Marine Tommy Conlon (Hardy) returns home for the first time in 14 years to enlist the help of his father Paddy (Nick Nolte) to train for Sparta, the biggest winner-takes-all event in mixed martial arts (MMA) history.\nA former wrestling prodigy, Tommy blazes a path toward the championship while his brother, Brendan (Edgerton), an ex-fighter-turned-teacher, returns to the ring in a desperate bid to save his family from financial ruin.\nThe question of what to fight for is central to Gavin O\u2019Connor\u2019s Warrior, which gives an intense glimpse into the world of a sport never before shown like this on film.\nThe start of the film finds Tommy back in the orbit of a broken family he\u2019d given up on years ago.\nWhen he and his mother escaped his abusive father Paddy, his brother Brendan stayed behind to be close to his high school girlfriend Tess (Jennifer Morrison), to whom he is now married.\nThough Paddy and Tommy have made a patchy truce in order to train together once again, communication between the brothers is nonexistent when they both make a surprise ascent up the rungs of the nationally televised Sparta tournament.\nThe matches, explains director, O\u2019Connor, are the backdrop to \u201ca story about two brothers on a collision course who have to deal with their past in the present day, in a cage, communicating with their fists to rectify a very painful situation\u201d.\nBalancing the audience\u2019s sympathies and alliances between the brothers was one of the biggest challenges inherent in the filmmaking. With both of them fighting for something so important, as O\u2019Connor puts it, \u201cyou\u2019re rooting for Tommy to keep winning, and you\u2019re rooting for Brendan to keep winning\u201d.\nBut then, the audience is faced with a decision: who they root for when the brothers finally face each other.\nThis kind of artful storytelling is exactly what lends the movie an appeal beyond sport-specific fans or even general sports fans.\nAlthough Warrior offers a glimpse into the world of the MMA sport, it was made for a general audience, a huge portion of which will no doubt be completely unfamiliar with it.\nWhile making a movie meant to capture so many specifics of a rarely-portrayed sport and sports culture, one question would be who to cast to play the brothers \u2013 real fighters who would be trained to act, or with professional actors who would be taught to fight.\nFor O\u2019Connor, there was no question as the emotional complexity of the roles demanded experienced actors \u2013 queue Brit actor Tom Hardy (Bronson, Inception) and Aussi Joel Edgerton (King Arthur, Animal Kingdom).\nIn order to look the part, both actors were put on a grueling ten-week, full-time training regime and a strict high protein diet of six small meals per day,\nHardy\u2019s regimen focused much more on heavy weightlifting with the goal of bulking up, ultimately to the tune of 28 additional pounds of muscle put on for the part.\nUnlike Edgerton, Hardy had no previous athletic experience. The son of a Cambridge academic father, Hardy is the first to admit that prior to Warrior, he was not a fighting man, and not intimately familiar with alpha male territory.\nWhile the structure of his training days, which consisted of two hours of boxing, followed by two hours of kickboxing and Muay Thai, followed by two hours of choreography, and finally two hours of lifting, won\u2019t be missed by Hardy, the sense of accomplishment and athletic prowess gained as a result of appearing in the film, he said he would forever treasure.\nEdgerton concurs, relaying a somewhat transcendent moment during filming, he said: \u201cI always imagined that when you\u2019re fighting, the crowd just disappears, and I had an experience of that sort on set. You can see them, you can hear them, but for some reason, when you step into the ring, it all falls away. Then you step out, and you\u2019re like \u2018Oh, that\u2019s right. There are thousands of people watching\u2019.\u2019\u201d\nBut for all of the \u2018stand in your seat and cheer\u2019 infectious energy of the film\u2019s climax, it\u2019s the intimacy and truthfulness of the whole story that makes it really hit home.\nLooking back at his personal filmmaking journey, O\u2019Connor said: \u201cI would never have been able to make Warrior without having made my other films. They freed me to up the artistic and emotional ante, and though there\u2019s a continuity, I think I found in myself a voice that is stronger and more concentrated. I have no idea how the film is going to be received commercially, but I do know artistically it\u2019s been the most satisfying and fulfilling experience of my career.\u201d\nWarrior is in cinemas from Friday, September 23, certificate 12A.",

        "raw_content": "Focus on textbooks, not cheque books\nRESP basics\nAvailable government grants\nAccording to the Government of Canada, in 2015, full-time students in Canada paid an average of $16,600 a year for post-secondary schooling, including tuition, books, boarding and other costs of student living. That's roughly $66,400 for a four-year program. It's never too early to start putting money aside for a child's education \u2013 we can show you how.\nWhat is an RESP? Expand/Collapse\nRegistered Education Savings Plans (RESPs) are set up through the Federal Government to help people save for their children's education. Start a college fund by putting money away each year to ensure your child will have money available for post-secondary school.\nThere are many types of RESPs, including individual, family and group plans that allow an RESP to be set up where one or more children are listed as beneficiaries. It's also important to note that anyone can contribute to an RESP, not just the parents of the child.\nWhile they are not tax deductible like RRSPs, RESPs do offer some tax benefits. Interest earned on an RESP is tax-free, and when your child starts using the money for school, only the accumulated interest is taxable as income.\nThe earlier you start putting money toward a child's RESP, the more he or she will benefit from the available annual government grants and tax-free interest. In the event that the child listed as the beneficiary does not choose to attend a post-secondary institution, there are other ways to put that money to use.\nWhat government grants are available? Expand/Collapse\nCanadian Education Savings Grant (CESG)\nOne of the biggest incentives to start an RESPs is the Canada Education Savings Grant (CESG). You can receive a grant of 20% from the government on the first $2,000 of your annual investment. This equates to an extra $400 each year, up to a lifetime maximum of $7,200, into the RESP from government grants.\nBritish Columbia Training and Education Savings Grant (BCTESG)\nThe BC Training and Education Savings Grant (BCTESG), introduced in 2013, provides a $1,200 grant from the BC Government to an eligible child\u2019s RESP. Unlike other grants, you do not need to contribute any money to receive the funds - all you have to do is open a RESP! To be eligible for the BCTESG, the child must be born in 2006 or later and named a beneficiary of an existing RESP. The parents or guardians and the child must also be residents of BC.\nHow do I borrow money for education? Expand/Collapse\nFrom government student loans to credit lines designed to meet the needs of students, there are a number of financial solutions available to help students pay for school. We can help you determine how much you should borrow and what your options are.\nBefore applying for a loan, you will need to make a budget by:\nCalculating your expenses for the upcoming school year including tuition, books, transportation and the costs of living\nDetermining how much money you already have to contribute and how much you expect to make over the course of the year\nThe difference between the two figures is the amount you'll need to borrow. Also consider your repayment strategy. Are the terms of the loan acceptable and will you be able to handle the monthly payments? If not, you'll need to look for alternate ways to finance your education or reduce your total costs.\nWhat are my borrowing options?\nSome options to borrow money for school include:\nGovernment student loans. In most cases, government student loans offer the best terms. There are no payments due and no interest until after graduation. If you qualify for loan remission, you may only have to pay back a portion of the loan\nStudent credit line. Although the terms of a student credit line are not as good as a government loan, they are typically better than the terms of other personal loans\nStudent credit card. Keep in mind that credit card interest rates are very high, so a credit card should only be used for small, unexpected expenses and paid off as soon as possible. If used responsibly, a credit card can improve your credit rating, making you a better candidate for loan approval should you need to borrow a larger amount next year\nWhat accounts are available for students?

        "title": "A platform to educate Qatari youth about climate change \u2014 GLOBAL YOUNG VOICES",
        "raw_content": "My name is Neeshad, I am 29 years old and I am from Qatar. Qatar\u2019s ecosystem is fragile. The country is facing numerous environmental issues: water scarcity, climate change, desertification, sand storms, and increasing air pollution. Climate change is a major component amplifying other factors, including water scarcity, biodiversity loss and desertification under the changing climate scenario. Furthermore, Qatar is extremely vulnerable to sea level rise, as 18.2 percent of its land area is subject to inland flooding, which is a big issue, considering that 96 percent of the population lives in coastal areas.\nIf we want to avert this ecological crisis at a global and local scale, technologies and policies alone are insufficient. A change in the collective behavior is necessary in order to foster effective solutions. However, changing perception, attitude, and, most importantly, behavior takes time. Sustained, targeted, and high-quality environmental awareness campaigns are crucial to change the collective behavior of society. A recent public opinion survey suggested that a staggering majority (89 percent) of the public says they would like to have more information to help them build an eco-friendly lifestyle.\nThe Arab Youth Climate Movement Qatar (AYCM-Q) responded to the urgency of environmental education in Qatar. Creating an ecologically-conscious society is necessary to achieve a sustainable society. The Arab Youth Climate Movement aims to stir the consciousness of the community through various channels of information.\nAYCM-Q is the only platform for climate change and environmental education, awareness, and advocacy for youth in Qatar, the first voluntary non-profit association to ever be registered in Qatar. The organization, founded by me, functions thanks to a team of part-time yet fully committed volunteers.\nThe AYCM-Q team is qualified when it comes to issues related to environmental education, global climate politics, and environmental policy in the Gulf and other Arab regions. In the last two years, AYCM-Q has worked with various local stakeholders to co-organize events on awareness, advocacy, and action regarding various environmental issues. AYCM-Q strives to educate the general public about the benefits of adopting a green attitude and conserving natural resources. Moreover, AYCM-Q actively engages in workshops at local, regional, and international conferences, including UNEA2, COP18, COP21, and COP22, which goes to show how quickly this small initiative has grown to represent youth in the country.\nAYCM-Q works with many national and international partners and is supported by a wise advisory council in order to be able to deliver the best environmental education possible in Qatar. We have adopted three different pedagogical approaches, targeting all socioeconomic and age groups in Qatar: develop innovative and creative digital campaigns on wider climate change issues among youths in Qatar; develop workshops and seminar on climate change, natural disasters, and climate diplomacy; and spread awareness among local citizens to develop and support local and global environmental initiatives through charity and philanthropy.\nOne of the flagship projects of AYCM-Q is the \u201cEarth Talk Series,\u201d which brings eminent environmentalists and experts to raise awareness on global environmental problems and discuss the scientific, ethical, social, and political dimensions of environmental issues. We organize six annual lectures featuring four international speakers and two local speakers, spread throughout the year. The key objective of this project is to bridge the knowledge gap of global environmental issues among Qatari citizens.\nAYCM-Q in partnership with our local stakeholders developed innovative and creative videos and infographics on environmental and climate change issues, not only limited to water and energy consumption but also focused on broader ecological and social issues. We produced short, crisp and fact-filled videos on each theme and published them on social media. With this, we want to develop a deeper understanding of our impact on the environment and how it will impact future generations if we don\u2019t change our behavior now.\nApparently, there are very few effective and consistent training programs on environmental issues in Qatar. Therefore, the aim of our workshops is to train young Qataris and non-Qataris on environmental issues, teaching them sustainable practices of consumption and how to preserve the environment. On a practical level, Qatari youth are trained to understand the threat we are causing to the environment and to find creative ways to respond to the crisis through creative project designing.\nOur organization also organizes deep spiritual environmental awareness experiences in eco-lodges and deserts. The programs last for two days and they feature deep philosophical discussions and contemplative practices like walking meditation, deep listening, and storytelling. Also, AYCM-Q sends candidates to NGOs across the world for eco-trips, where they are trained to get a better understanding of local ecosystems and human-nature interactions. We arrange two to three trips per year and send six candidates on every international trip.\n\"Cracks in the Earth\" by Brad Helmink\nOver the years, our campaigns have generated great enthusiasm about environment conservation and protection in Qatar. People started realizing the importance of environmental protection and conservation with active interest and AYCM-Q can take credit for engaging youth in climate activism. The recent trend of more youth going vegan and switching to a healthier lifestyle is another example of changing community-level mindsets. The government too has been actively promoting campaigns on environmental protection, taking a completely new direction. The fact that the Qatari government signed the Paris Agreement in 2016 only gives more purpose to AYCM-Q to keep working to turn Qatar into a low-carbon-based economy.\nWe believe that environmental issues are one of the greatest threats facing humanity. The challenges we will face in 2018 and in the coming years are urgent and massive. But the promising news is that when we act together, we are stronger, and change is inevitable. Creating a sustainable and just world takes a lot of time, effort, and patience, but together, we can achieve it.\nSUSTAINABLE FUTURE, ENVIRONMENT, CLIMATE CHANGE, WATER SCARCITY, BIODIVERSITY, RADICI3",

        "raw_content": "Reporting nursing home abuse in Stuart FL\nThe following are the steps that you should take when you suspect nursing home abuse in order to protect an elderly person:\nTalk with the elderly person first - If you suspect nursing home abuse and have spotted signs of potential abuse, then you should speak with the elderly person. In many cases, the elderly person experiencing the abuse won't seek help themselves because they are either embarrassed or they fear some sort of retaliation from their caregiver. By showing your concern and sharing your suspicion, they may be more willing to open up. However, some elderly people may deny abuse even if it is occurring. If you strongly suspect abuse, you should still report it.\nReach out to the elderly person's family - If the elderly person isn't your spouse or a close family member, such as a sibling, parent or grandparent, then you should go directly to someone in their family. Have a conversation regarding the suspected abuse. They may be able to stop whatever abuse is occurring by firing the caregiver immediately and by reporting the incident to the police.\nCall the police - If you think that the elderly person is experiencing physical abuse or severe neglect and you think that their life might be in danger as a result, then you should call 911 right away. They will intervene to make sure that if any abuse is happening, that it stops immediately.\nCall the Eldercare Locator - If you suspect elder abuse but you don't believe it's life-threatening (for example, you suspect potential emotional abuse or financial abuse), then you should call 1-800-677-1116 to speak with an operator on the Eldercare Locator hotline. They will be able to provide information on local resources as well as additional advice on what to do.\nFile a report - You don't need to gather evidence if you suspect elder abuse. That's not your job. Instead, you'll be asked to fill out a detailed report once you contact the authorities. You'll need to provide the personal information of the elder (name, address and contact information), any information you have on their family supports if you have it, the name of the caregiver you suspect of elder abuse, your contact information, specific information regarding the suspected abuse and any medical conditions the elderly person has that you know of.\nFollowing the Report\nOnce you have filed a report, it will be screened by your area's APS (Adult Protective Services) organization. In emergency cases in which physical or sexual abuse is suspected, a caseworker may investigate within 24 hours of the report's filing. Local police and district attorneys may also investigate in such a case. Whatever the type of abuse is suspected, the APS will look into it.\nEven if they come to the conclusion that there is no elder abuse, they will still coordinate with social and health services to provide the elderly person with assistance. However, keep in mind that an elderly person can refuse the services of the APS. Unless they have cognitive impairments that leave them legally incapacitated, the APS must respect their decision.\nIf You Suspect Nursing Home Abuse\nIf you suspect elder abuse, then you'll want to do everything you can to stop it. Follow these steps to report any elder abuse that you might suspect.\nIn the unfortunate case that nursing home abuse is confirmed engaging an experienced elder abuse attorney is recommended to protect the abused person's rights. The Law Office of Gloria Seidule can provide the needed assistance required to hold the responsible party accountable for their actions. There are no fees unless there is a recovery.\nHollywood Nursing Home Elder Abuse",

        "title": "3 Ways to Deal With Anti-Gamblers When You Encounter Them",
        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb Blog \u00bb 3 Ways to Deal With Anti-Gamblers When You Encounter Them\n3 Ways to Deal With Anti-Gamblers When You Encounter Them\nBelieve it or not, there are people out there that really don't like gambling in any shape or form. Some argue that it's always been a leech on society while others believe it has got worse thanks to the advent of mobile technology. We understand that they're entitled to their opinions and not everyone has to like gambling (how boring would that be?). At the same time, however, most players don't appreciate it when they feel anti-gamblers are preaching at them or harassing them or trying to make them stop gambling simply because they don't like it.\nIt's unfair and makes gamblers feel threatened when all they want to do is enjoy themselves and perhaps get a bit of money out of it. So here are some tips on how to deal with anti-gamblers if you ever encounter one.\n1) Defend Your Hobby\nThe most obvious and logical thing to do whenever an anti-gambler tells you what you're doing is a sin is to defend yourself and your hobby. The best way to do this is through logic and a calm demeanor. You don't want to seem irrational but sometimes you can't help that because you're passionate about your favourite hobby and get annoyed when people bash it for no good reason. Just take a moment, try and collect your thoughts, then calmly tell them why you think they're wrong. In same rare cases, however, they may have a point so you may be forced to acknowledge that and understand their position in order to have a good debate.\nTo expand, the best weapon you can use against someone who's biased against something to an absurd degree is using logic to unseat them. Most of the arguments that anti-gamblers tend to use are either rhetoric or cases of the most extreme forms of gambling addiction that happens to very few people. One of the best logical arguments to make is to ask: \u201cSo if gambling does makes you broke, why aren't all gamblers broke?\u201d There are, after all, people who have gambled their entire lives without having to take out a single bank loan. It's not as though you walk into a casino pockets full of cash then walk out of it again with a debt so large you'll never write it off. There are people that do end up doing that but it's so rare it's almost negligible.\nIf you are going to use logic, however, you need to be careful and make sure you're clued up on some facts before you engage in any kind of debate. You don't want to get anything wrong in case you end up accidentally proving the anti-gamblers right. And, despite all the rhetoric, some of it is admittedly based in some truth. But, like we said, this is based only on extreme truths. It would be like saying that someone who is lactose intolerant died from eating cheese so cheese must be BAD FOR EVERYONE!\n2) Call Them a Nincompoop\nOf course, we don't literally mean call them a Nincompoop (that would be childish and silly) but a playful insult would help in the comradely side of things. How, you ask? Well, by showing that not everything about gambling should be taken so seriously, you also show that there's nothing to fear about it and it may be a dynamic way of opening up a conversation about it.\nOn the other hand, you have to be careful with this kind of approach, too. It really depends on how well you know the anti-gambler. If they're a complete stranger and they're shouting in your face, perhaps insulting them (even in a playful manner) may not be the best way of going about things. While there aren't many that would attack you, you never know with some people. A strong enough opinion could override all reason.\nIf, however, you do know the anti-gambler then there is nothing better than a bit of banter to kick-start a talk about the ethics of gambling. It can help maintain that friendship and not let it get torn apart over differences in opinion.\n3) Ignore Them\nIt's the same argument your mum made when you were little \u2013 if you ignore them, eventually they'll go away. Well, sometimes this can work in the adult world. If the anti-gambler you have encountered listens neither to logic nor reason, refuses to let you defend yourself and calls you horrid names, the best thing to do would be to ignore them. This method, though it may not produce immediate effects, works splendidly well in the long-term.\nWhenever an anti-gambling organisation parks its propaganda wagon outside your local betting shop, take a closer look at how many people still go into the casino and how many people stop to look at the ad to take in its message. Virtually nobody. Unless they are also anti-gamblers. But most people, you'll find, are just indifferent to it.",

        "raw_content": "Grand Canyon uranium mining ban upheld, court sides with Havasupai\nPhoto/Grand Canyon Trust\nHavasupai Tribal members protest in front of Canyon Mine, a uranium mine near the South Rim of the Grand Canyon.\nGRAND CANYON, Ariz. \u2014 A coalition of Havasupai tribal members and environmental groups breathed a brief sigh of relief as the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Fransisco, California handed down a verdict Dec. 12: the 20-year moratorium on new uranium mines was upheld.\nThe group had filed suit with the court more than a year earlier to save the moratorium put in place in 2012 by Barack Obama\u2019s administration.\nThe National Mining Association had previously sued in a lower court to overturn the ban, which was put in place amid concerns that groundwater for millions might become radioactively contaminated. The ban also took into consideration the effect on Native American cultural sites and views from Grand Canyon National Park.\nIn its ruling, the court determined the ban should remain in place, stating \u201cwithdrawal of the area from new mining claims for a limited period will permit more careful, longer-term study of the uncertain effects of uranium mining in the area and better-informed decision making in the future.\u201d\nCarletta Tilousi, a Havasupai Tribal Council member who has been a vocal opponent of uranium mining near her ancestral home, traveled to Washington D.C. to reiterate the tribe\u2019s opposition to any changes to the recently-upheld ban.\n\u201cWhat happens to that Red Wall-Mauv Aquifer and springs happens to the Havasupai,\u201d Tilousi told the House subcommittee on energy and mineral resources, referring to the aquifer that is responsible for Havasu Creek, the tribe\u2019s sole water source.\n\u201cI am here to tell you that uranium contamination in the aquifer will not only poison my family, my Tribe, ancestral lands, and me, but also millions of people living downstream,\u201d Tilousi said. \u201cOpening up this area to uranium and other mining would be tragic and an environmental nightmare.\u201d\nThe Department of Agriculture recently suggested revisions to the 20-year mining ban, although it did not suggest revoking it.\nAlthough there was cause for celebration after the verdict, the court also ruled against Havasupai and a coalition of environmental groups, allowing the recently-reopened Canyon Mine to proceed.\nThe group had sued to keep the mine from operating until an updated plan of operation was put in place, including consultation with the tribe. Canyon Mine, which sits in the shadow of Red Butte, a sacred mountain to the Havasupai and other regional tribes, was first approved 1986. Although the mine went dormant after uranium prices plummeted in the early 1990s, the U.S. Forest Service approved reopening of the mine in 2013 without seeking an updated plan of operations.\nThe tribe argued that the Forest Service granted permission to resume mining operations without consideration of new developments and technology, violating its legal obligations under the National Historic Preservation Act to consult with the tribe concerning the irreparable harm the mine will have on the sacred site and implementing measures to prevent damage.\n\u201cWe are disappointed that the judges ruled against the common-sense argument that a 29-year-old permit to mine uranium on public lands doesn\u2019t need to be reviewed and updated with new information,\u201d said Roger Clark, Grand Canyon program director for the Grand Canyon Trust, who joined the lawsuit with the Havasupai Tribe.\n\u201cThey dismissed compelling new evidence of water contamination and ignored a whole new generation of citizens who were born after the Forest Service decision, but who now have to live with its consequences.\u201d\nRichard Hughes, who represented the tribe in both lawsuits, said the Ninth Circuit court\u2019s ruling is likely the end of the road. The only court that can overturn its ruling is the U.S. Supreme Court.\nJudge upholds 20-year ban on new uranium mines near Grand Canyon\nArizona continues push to open new uranium mines near Grand Canyon",

Flu Patients have been turned away from hospitals because either not enough staff and shortage of medical supplies.\nNurses and doctors are at a higher risk of the flu as well and have been advised to use disinfectant sterilizers on their work areas and tools as added precaution.\nEven worse, with the government shut down, the CDC has also been shut down as well.\nBefore the shutdown took place, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which runs the CDC, put out a contingency plan. That plan called for the CDC to keep more than 8,500 of its 13,000-plus staff members at home. That works out 63% of the agency\u2019s employees.

        "raw_content": "by Charlsie Dewey December 6, 20171:30 pm December 6, 2017\nCollector Donates 5,000 Historical Postcards to Library\nAvisual history of Grand Rapids is now available at the Grand Rapids Public Library in postcard form.\nAs a teenager, Thomas Dilley, former lawyer and a Grand Rapids native with an interest in history, began collecting postcards dating primarily from the 1890s to the 1950s depicting Grand Rapids landmarks and scenes.\nHe just donated 5,000 postcards from his collection to the Grand Rapids Public Library\u2019s History and Special Collections Department.\n\u201cMy focus was on my hometown. I wanted to see it and that was one way to see it,\u201d he said.\nDilley said postcards provide an important visual record of the city, noting in many cases viewers of the postcards can still recognize some aspect of the present day image in the postcard image.\n\u201cBuildings come and go and whole streetscapes are erased and built again, but typically there is something there that you can hang onto so you can see just a little bit of what was once there,\u201d he said.\nDilley said the period between the 1890s to the 1940s is considered the \u201cgolden age\u201d of the postcard, with millions of postcards produced across the country during that period. He said almost everything was captured in postcard form at that time, too.\nThomas Dilley\u2019s postcard collection shows visual history of Grand Rapids.\nThe reason for the postcard\u2019s prevalence has a lot to do with the need for a cheap and easy form of communication. It was pre-telephone after all.\nDilley said in the Grand Rapids of 1910, most homes didn\u2019t have telephones. \u201cBack in 1910, if I needed to get word to my wife that I was going to be late for dinner \u2013 postal service was twice a day back then \u2013 I could post a postcard. As a streetcar was going by I could drop it into a postbox on the streetcar that would continue on its route to Campau Square, where the mailbox would be emptied and then delivered that very afternoon. There are cards in this collection that say \u2018I\u2019ll be late for dinner.\u2019\u201d\nHe added, \u201cIt was a perfect collision, between the availability of these postcard images and the need of people here for a cheap and easy means of communication.\u201d\nIt was also a time of increased travel. \u201cIt was at a time when there was a lot of business travel, but also the beginning, especially after World War I, of tourist travel.\u201d He said he often finds postcards purchased in Grand Rapids that were sent across the country or even overseas.\nDilley said libraries and museums are eager to add postcards to their collections because of their historical value.\nDuring his nearly 50 years of collecting postcards, Dilley said there have been a few particularly coveted postcards he\u2019s looked for, including the Rover series, which he said is considered the \u201choly grail\u201d of postcards.\nPostcard from the coveted Rover Series.\n\u201cThose cards are a series of about 30 images that are referred to, as a general category, as exaggeration cards,\u201d he said. \u201cThey are rare, some are very rare, and there is one in the series that no [collector] has.\u201d (Dilley said the Grand Rapids Public Museum owns the coveted postcard in its collection, however.)\nThe cards are based on Mr. Rover, who is doing different things in each of the postcards.\nDilley said another postcard in the collection people might find particularly interesting is the one depicting a weekly farmers market that took place in the middle of the Grand River.\n\u201cThere are three or four images of the earliest farmers markets. One was located on an island in the Grand River that no longer exists,\u201d he said. \u201cIt shows the farmers and peopling milling around.\u201d\nDilley donated his collection so that others can enjoy the images and learn about the city\u2019s history as he has.\n\u201cI want everyone to be able to see it,\u201d he said. \u201cOne of the attractions to placing the collection at the library is that anyone can look at it. It\u2019s completely open and free to the public. It\u2019s not a private collection.\u201d\nDilley has also published two books \u201cGrand Rapids in Vintage Postcards, 1890-1940\u201d (2005) and \u201cGrand Rapids: Community and Industry\u201d (2006), both published by Arcadia Publishing.\nOnce cataloged, the entire collection will be added to the Thomas R. and Debra C. Dilley Historical Collection and will be accessible for public use. The postcards will supplement the library\u2019s existing collection of nearly one million historical images of Grand Rapids.\nWith the addition of these postcards to the library collection, the Grand Rapids Public Library said it will have a copy of nearly every postcard produced for Grand Rapids.\n*Photos courtesy of Grand Rapids Public Library\nTagged with: downtown library Grand Rapids historical postcards Grand Rapids Public Library postcard collection Thomas Dilley",

Some men wore fake beards\nVillagers attending a fake Jewish wedding in the Polish village of Radzanow, Aug 5, 2017.Jonny Daniels/From the Depths\nThe Polish people weren't tacit collaborators with Nazi extermination of Jews\nNostalgia for Jews is a well-documented phenomenon in Eastern Europe, with cultural and even substantial commercial aspects.\nIn Ukraine, so-called Jewish-themed restaurants with pork-heavy menus compete for tourists, while figurines of Jews are sold at markets as good luck charms. In Poland, graffiti reading \u201cI miss you, Jew\u201d have become a common sight.\nBeyond the kitsch, Jewish cultural festivals draw large non-Jewish audiences in Krakow, Warsaw and Budapest.\nSome credit this trend to a feeling of loss over the near annihilation of once-vibrant Jewish communities. Others trace it a desire to reconnect with the pre-Soviet past.\nBut even against this backdrop, the fake Jewish wedding that was held Saturday in the village of Radzan\u00f3w, 80 miles northeast of Warsaw, stands out as a remarkable affair.\nMake-believe Jewish weddings \u2014 a regular educational event in Spain and Portugal, where nostalgia for nearly-extinct Jewish communities is also prevalent \u2014 are rare in Poland (locals in the village of Bobowa organized one in 2013). Even rarer are enactments as well-produced as the one in Radzanow.\nskip - Villagers attending a fake Jewish wedding in the Polish village of Radzanow, Aug 5, 2017.\nVillagers attending a fake Jewish wedding in the Polish village of Radzanow\nOrganized by the Radzanovia Association, a cultural group promoting Polish heritage, the event featured a few dozen non-Jewish volunteers, men and women, dressed in traditional haredi costumes. Some men wore fake beards and side curls \u2013 including ones that didn\u2019t match their natural hair color.\nPortraying the groom was Piotr Czaplicki, a journalist for the Radia dla Ciebie station. Czaplicki, who is not Jewish, got under a chuppah \u2013 the canopy used in traditional Jewish weddings \u2014 together with his make-believe bride, Julia Brzeziska, a local resident. They were \u201cwed\u201d by a fake rabbi in a show before villagers, whom the event\u2019s organizers sought to teach about Jewish traditions.\nTo Jonny Daniels, the London-born founder of From the Depths, which promotes Holocaust commemoration in Poland, events like the one in Radzan\u00f3w are \u201csome kind of therapy taking place all over the country.\u201d\nBut the event\u2019s producer, Agnieszka Rychcik-Nowakowska, sees it as a way of commemorating the hundreds of Jews who had accounted for approximately half of her village\u2019s population before the Holocaust.\n\u201cWe want to remember all those homes of all pre-war Jews, who lived a peaceful life punctuated by the rhythm of holidays, family celebrations and more mundane events,\u201d she told the news site Nasza Mlawa.\nJews first settled in Radzan\u00f3w in 1710, and at their peak numbered about 500. By September 1939, when the Germans took over, the population had dipped below 300. Nearly all who remained would be sent to the Mlawa ghetto, never to return.\n\u201cWe remember those who lived here before us and entered the memory of our grandmothers and grandparents. It was so recently,\u201d said Rychcik-Nowakowska.\nElsewhere in Europe, Jewish-themed festivals are more common , bringing together hundreds of participants. There too, Jewish-themed events are held in the absence of a living, breathing Jewish community thanks to nostalgia and a desire to generate tourism revenue.\nBut in Spain and Portugal, for example, where hundreds of thousands of Jews were oppressed 500 years ago during the Inquisition, the passage of time has made goodwill gestures toward Jews less complicated than in the east. In 2013, Spain and Portugal even passed laws granting citizenship to descendants of Sephardic Jews \u2013 a move whose generosity contrasts sharply with the refusal by Poland and other East European countries to offer even partial restitution for property that was stolen from Jewish communities.\nAt the fake wedding in Radzan\u00f3w, organizers turned to Teresa Wroska, an actress from the Jewish Theater in Warsaw, to assure the wedding\u2019s authenticity. She choreographed the entire affair \u2014 from the signing of the ketubah (the Jewish marriage contract) to the traditional Jewish music played by a band of locals and musicians from the capital.\nEven the POLIN Jewish museum of Warsaw was consulted in staging the event, according to Nasza Mlawa.\nThe wedding is not the only attempt by Radzan\u00f3w locals to reconnect with their village\u2019s lost Jewish heritage. Last year, a high school student from the region, Cuba Balinski, initiated a project aimed at rededicating and reopening the village\u2019s abandoned synagogue \u2013 a small but beautiful Moorish-style building that miraculously survived the Nazi occupation.\nBalinski, who has secured the cooperation of the Foundation for the Preservation of Jewish Heritage in Poland for his project but is still looking for investors, is adamant about restoring the synagogue to a house of worship rather than having it turn into museum.\n\u201cIf there is no Torah in the synagogue, than it is still just a building,\u201d he told the news site Gosc Plocki. \u201cBut if we bring the holy book back, it will come back to life.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Robinson Cano faces child support battle\nOn behalf of Law Offices of Harris & Literski posted in Child Support on Thursday, October 17, 2013.\nMichigan baseball fans are probably familiar with Robinson Cano of the New York Yankees. They may not be aware that Cano is currently embroiled in a child support battle with the mother of his son.\nBoth the mother and the son currently reside in the Dominican Republic. Cano and the child's mother are at odds over the amount of support that Cano should be providing for his son. The mother claims that Cano does not provide her with enough money to adequately care for their child's day-to-day needs. She also argues that his current support payments do not properly address the cost of living in the Dominican Republic, and that Cano's wealth-his salary last season was $15 million-should be taken into account in setting the amount of support.\nAccording to the mother, Cano has been paying only $600 a month in child support, and she claims the payments do not always get delivered on time. Her attorney says a more appropriate amount would be $25,000 a month.\nIn Michigan, the law provides that a parent can be obligated to pay child support until the child turns 18 or graduates from high school. In setting the amount of a child support obligation, Michigan courts follow guidelines that take into account the financial resources of both parents as well as the number of overnight stays the child has with each parent. If the circumstances of the obligated parent change, through job loss or other financial setbacks, that parent can request a child support modification from the court. It is important to seek a modification before falling behind in payments.\nSource: ESPN.com, \"Robinson Cano in support dispute, \" Mike Fish, October 3, 2013\nTags: Child support, child support modification, cost of living",

        "raw_content": "Right Now | The African Experience\nSlavery\u2019s Sway\nThe slave trade shipped Africans to the Americas, the Middle East, and Asia; where victims ended up depended in part on which trade route their captors used. In total, the four routes ferried nearly 20 million people out of Africa.\nDiego Puga and Nathan Nunn\nData for map courtesy of Angus Maddison, The World Economy: Historical Statistics, Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development, Paris, 2003\nFor economists who study development, Africa remains a mystery. It\u2019s underdeveloped, but why? Disease? Dictators? Colonial rule? Nathan Nunn, an assistant professor of economics, believes he has found at least a partial answer. The slave trade, far from being a relic of the past, he argues, accounts for much of the continent\u2019s current economic woes.\nIn a paper published in The Quarterly Journal of Economics, Nunn hypothesized that if the slave trade had negative effects, the countries that were victimized most (for four or five centuries) should show lingering consequences, visible in per capita gross domestic product (GDP) lagging behind their neighbors\u2019. His findings supported his suspicions: the wealthier African nations\u2014such as South Africa, Egypt, and Namibia\u2014had been relatively unscathed, while poorer nations\u2014including Angola, Ethiopia, and Tanzania\u2014lost millions of people.\nEstablishing a link between slavery and poverty proved difficult. Before he could study the problem with economic models, Nunn needed to delve into the historical records. He relied heavily on a database, built by Emory University historian David Eltis and other researchers (some of whom were at the W.E.B. DuBois Institute at Harvard). The database contained shipping records from the trans-Atlantic slave trade that supplied the Americas with 12 million slaves between 1400 and 1900. But the trans-Atlantic was only one of four trade routes. Records for the trans-Saharan, Red Sea, and Indian Ocean slave trades, which together sent an estimated six million Africans to the Middle East and Asia, were scattered more broadly. To find information on the Indian Ocean route, for example, Nunn traveled to Zanzibar to do research in one of Tanzania\u2019s national archives.\nYet determining how many slaves were taken from Africa was easier than what came next: figuring out the slaves\u2019 ethnicities and what countries their tribes inhabit today. This information was vital because it allowed Nunn to connect historical events to current economic conditions. Shipping records tallied only the number of slaves on each voyage, so he had to look elsewhere to find out whether the slaves had come from the coast or farther inland. Nunn relied on secondary literature that compiled \u201crecords of sale, plantation inventories, slave registers, slave runaway notices, court records, prison records, marriage records, death certificates, baptismal records, parish records, notarial records, and slave interviews.\u201d In Zanzibar he studied manumission records, last-minute deeds of freedom given to slaves about to be shipped out of Africa. These documents often included the slave\u2019s original ethnicity. Then, using two ethnographic studies as guides, he superimposed his findings onto a current map of Africa.\nHis results were clear: most countries with an extensive history of enduring slavers\u2019 predations were worse off than those without. Based on per capita GDP figures for 2000, Nunn estimated further that slavery accounted for up to 47 percent of the income disparity between African nations and the rest of the world. (He says it might account for the entire disparity between African nations and the rest of the developing world.) He also found that the richer an African society had been, the more likely it was to opt into the slave trade. Ironically, an advanced understanding, centuries ago, of credit and monetary systems\u2014which made it easier to engage in this lucrative foreign trade then\u2014led to economic underdevelopment hundreds of years later.\nNunn\u2019s diverse sources have brought in a diverse set of readers, some of them skeptical. The doubters include David Eltis himself, who told the Boston Globe that although he wouldn\u2019t say that Nunn\u2019s research was wrong, it might be premature to draw such bold conclusions. Such conclusions, Nunn replies, are part of his field. \u201cI think economists are willing to make generalizations. That\u2019s basically what our discipline does. I think it\u2019s an issue of, can you generalize across the whole continent?\u201d Nunn believes he can. He has rewritten his paper for the general public; it is scheduled to appear next year in a collection of similarly far-reaching essays edited by Jared Diamond \u201958.\nThe next thing Nunn wants to know is precisely how the slave trade eventually produced poverty. He suspects it may be an issue of trust: Africans sometimes sold other Africans to foreign slave traders. \u201cIf your rule of thumb is not to trust anyone because you\u2019ve had a culture that\u2019s evolved in a very insecure environment for 400 years,\u201d he says, \u201cthat can persist and lead to bad institutions or bad economic outcomes.\u201d",

As they progress through the program, older students help mentor younger ones. | Photo: Sean Marrs\n\u201cThe martial arts teach you a way of life, a way to live. It\u2019s not necessarily just being able to defend yourself,\u201d explains Lee Donohue, president of Kick Start Karate, an after-school program to combat gangs and juvenile delinquency.\n\u201cWe have tenets or mantras we try to live by. One of the big ones is, \u2018Always seek perfection of character.\u2019 How do you do that? Our school has 16 bylaws, probably passed down from Confucianism, and the kids have to recite the bylaws after every class. Then we discuss one of the bylaws and what it means to them.\u201d\nThe 75-year-old former Honolulu police chief founded KSK in 1994.\n\u201cWhen I was assistant chief, I got this assignment in Japan to study their koban, or neighborhood system of policing,\u201d recalls Donohue. \u201cEvery police officer there has a black belt in judo or kendo. When they go out into the field, they invite the kids from the community to come and work out with them, in order to build character and rapport.\n\u201cSo when I came back, I told Chief Mike Nakamura that we already had a Police Activities League program teaching children karate, so why not just merge the two?\u201d\nThus, the nonprofit KSK was formed.\nOne of Donohue\u2019s friends, Amy Abe, a retired teacher from Waipahu High School, originally handled the life skills \u2013 what Donohue calls the \u201ceducation\u201d or \u201cguidance\u201d part of the program \u2013 and Donohue, a black belt in karate since 1970, taught the martial arts. Abe passed away about 10 years ago and Eric Quemado, a teacher at Kapolei Elementary School, now handles the education segment.\n\u201cSome of these kids have never sat at a table where the utensils are placed a certain way,\u201d Donohue says. \u201cSo we\u2019d take them to the culinary arts program at Kapiolani Community College and teach them proper table manners, everyday life things.\n\u201cEric has his own lessons, such as one on anti-bullying. He also makes himself available to any student who wants to learn music.\u201d\nThe program is designed to instill leadership, Donohue says, so as students progress through the curriculum, they become mentors to their younger counterparts.\nKSK originally started at the HPD Academy in Waipahu. Last January, it opened a new branch at Church of the Holy Nativity in Aina Haina.\nThe nonprofit\u2019s annual budget is about $70,000. It has 18 part-time instructors and one part-time executive assistant. It holds an annual fundraiser, \u201cA Taste of Kick Start,\u201d receives a few private grants for items such as equipment and uniforms, and is a beneficiary of the Friends of Hawaii Charities.\n\u201cTeachers or counselors can refer students to us, but we get them mostly through word-of-mouth,\u201d Donohue says. \u201cThey hear that we offer guidance, music, martial arts training, free trips to tournaments and college scholarships.\n\u201cKids are staying with us for at least seven to eight years. For some families, we\u2019re into the third generation of their relatives. If they really love us, they stay with us.\u201d\nDonohue estimates at least 1,000 students have been helped by KSK.\n\u201cWhen we started back in \u201994, there was a big youth gang problem both in Honolulu and Waipahu. You don\u2019t see that same gang problem anymore, and there\u2019s been improvement in the schools.\u201d\nkickstarthawaii.org\n18th Annual Executive Vineyards [Sponsored]",

        "title": "Three Appalachian Students Win Yes! Magazine\u2019s Writing Competition | High Country Press",
        "raw_content": "Three Appalachian Students Win Yes! Magazine\u2019s Writing Competition\nMarch 8, 2012. BOONE \u2014 Appalachian junior Bradley Stone, senior Tim Hefflinger and junior Wesley Mikiska have each been named as Yes! Magazine writing competition winners in 2011. Yes! Magazine is an online and print publication that uses in-depth analysis, tools for citizen engagement and stories to tell about real people who are working for a better world.\nYes! Magazine reaches 150,000 readers quarterly with their printed publication and more than 140,000 people monthly on their website.\nMikiska, an appropriate technology major, was named one of two winners for the Powerful Voice Fall 2011 writing competition. The writing prompt to follow was, \u201cHas anyone close to you\u2014a friend or family member\u2014chosen to distance themselves from you or sever the relationship because of what you believe? What was the issue? How did you feel? Were you able to resolve it?\u201d His essay, \u201cReasoning With My Better Half,\u201d told the story about how he and his wife worked together on cutting down on her excessive shopping and on their TV watching. In the end, he says through compromise they were able to come to an agreement and cut down on both.\nMikiska is the third student from Appalachian to receive an award from Yes! Magazine. Stone and Hefflingers\u2019 essays were chosen as winners for the spring 2011 writing competition.\nHefflinger, a sustainable development and philosophy double major, was selected as the university winner for the Spring 2011 writing competition. The writing prompt to follow was, \u201cWhat is your gift? How do you share it?\u201d His essay, \u201cRealizing My Gift,\u201d speaks of how he came to realize that his calling is to talk and write about what impassions him and to seek out those that are in pain and injustice and give them a voice.\nStone, an anthropology major, had his essay, \u201cThe scapegoat of terrorism,\u201d named as an exemplary essay for the Spring 2011 writing competition. He answered the writing prompt \u201cHow do you define terrorism? What role does the globalized trade market play in the creation and portrayal of terrorism?\u201d His essay focused on how people are more alike than different and terrorism itself is a byproduct of the world\u2019s economic model. His essay was also published in the Yes! Magazine education newsletter and on the For Teachers website.\n\u201cOne of the most challenging things is for students to learn to talk about this new thing called sustainability and also to share their ideas with people who don\u2019t understand it or who disagree with it,\u201d said Dr. Sandra Lubarsky, director of sustainable development program.\u201cThis is such a wonderful exercise in expressing their ideas to a large public and sharing their ideas in a meaningful and moving way. It empowers them and I think it empowers the readership.\u201d\nAll three were students of Professor Courtney Baines. In order to enter into the contest, students must work with a Sustainable Development instructor. To enter for the winter 2012 writing competition, go to: http://www.yesmagazine.org/for-teachers/essay-bank/for-teachers. The deadline for submissions is March 31.\nTagged ASU, competition, writing, YES! Weekly\n\u00ab Hotel Protester: Marriott Incl...\nDancing for a Cause; Dance Mar... \u00bb",

        "raw_content": "11 - Designing correlation functions of random, fractal, and quasicrystalline disorder in complex nanostructures for tailoring linear and nonlinear optical properties: Applications to BRDF and k-space engineering\nWe are going to study the influence of correlation functions on disorder in plasmonic and dielectric nanostructures. We will investigate 2D as well as 3D systems, and study long- and short-range disorder as well as fractal and quasicrystalline arrangements. We will investigate experimentally the angle-dependent photonic bandstructure as well as the bidirectional reflection distribution function (BRDF) as a function of polarization, angle, and wavelength, from the visible to the mid-infrared.We are going to use additional degrees of freedom such as lateral phase distribution on metasurfaces, radiation cones and array factors, as well as a combination of dielectrics and metals to tailor the disorder correlation functions. Manufacturing will be conducted using deterministic electron-beam lithography arrangements including stacking, as well as large area fabrication techniques that allow for tunable disorder.We are going to determine the relationship between two-point correlation functions, k-dependent optical properties, and wavelength dependent BRDF, in order to tailor nanostructured disordered surfaces for generation of designer surfaces for perfect absorbers, solar harvesting layers, as well as illumination diffusors.\nFurthermore, we will study the giant nonlinear optical properties which should arise near the percolation threshold of disordered and fractal metal surfaces. The sub-nm gaps occurring just before a current path through the surface is closed are supposed to lead to large localized field enhancements. Theoretically, we will develop protocols to determine which numerical approach (S-matrix, finite element, resonant state expansion) can be used most efficiently and reliably to model a certain type and a tailored degree of disorder. For this purpose, we will compare numerical results with analytical calculations for simple one-dimensional periodic structures.\nMoreover, we are going to implement perturbative and semi-analytical methods, which will allow us to model the influence of disorder on the optical properties of nanostructures starting from the ideal system. Thus, we will be able to support the experimental projects of the proposal in an efficient manner and study the influence of different types of disorder as well as the two-point correlation function in relation to the optical properties of disorder structures.We are going to include Mercator-Professor Sergei Tikhodeev from the General Physics Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow, who is a long-standing collaborator in the field of light propagation in ordered and disordered plasmonic nanostructures. He is planning to visit us for three months every year and also foster the exchange of theoretical students between Moscow and Stuttgart.\nProf. Harald Gie\u00dfen\nProf. Thomas Weiss",

        "raw_content": "Sarasota's public art\nThere is much to see in Sarasota's public art collection. But what you don't see is a clear \"sense of place,\" according to two Ringling College of Art and Design students.\nTheir acute -- and accurate -- observation may be just the conversation kick-starter this city needs, concerning its valuable but controversial public art collection.\nThough many of the individual works displayed around town are of very high quality, the overall collection fails to convey a unique community identity and too often lacks the \"wow\" factor that attracts the public. That may be one reason why new acquisitions tend to generate divisive debate.\nThe two Ringling graduates, Ted Weber Gola and Malika Suleymanova, filmed a documentary (called \"SRQ Tic Tac Toe\") on the issue and showed it Saturday at City Hall. A panel discussion followed. Many salient points were discussed, including the need for more community involvement in public art decisions.\nUpdate policy, process\nAs members of the audience noted, however, the public generally has little understanding of how the art selection process works or how to get involved. It is not a simple matter, unfortunately. The policy and process need some updating. Meanwhile, here are some things to know:\n\u2022 The city's public art program consists of works commissioned for or donated to the city, or placed on city-owned land. City zoning rules also require a public-art contribution from many large downtown construction projects.\n\u2022 The Public Art Committee (an appointed advisory board) leads the selection of public art, but the elected City Commission has the final say. This sometimes results in conflict and confusion.\nThe public rarely gets involved at the committee level but it should, to help influence what kind of art will be pursued and what artists will be asked to compete for selection. The committee meetings are held quarterly, with the next one scheduled for 1 p.m. Aug. 14 at City Hall.\n\u2022 The city maintains a website that explains the basics of the public art program and links to photos of most of the works acquired (either by gifts or commissioning). Go to http://sarasotagov-com.gowest1.gowesthosting.com/PublicArt/\n\u2022 The city's official criteria for public art include a balance of artistic styles, excellence, durability and moderate price. The policy is silent on whether art should express a community vision or identity, but it does emphasize \"regional artists.\" The city's collection includes more than a dozen works by local artists.\nExhibits A and B\nMuch of Sarasota's public art controversy revolves around the donated \"Unconditional Surrender,\" a supersized replica of a piece by American sculptor Seward Johnson that celebrates the end of World War II. Featured prominently along the bayfront, it is loved, loathed and hard to miss.\nThe documentary \"SRQ Tic Tac Toe\" focused on an even fiercer debate surrounding a different sculpture -- one that many Sarasotans have not seen. By nationally known sculptor Frank Brown, the large piece stands in a Newtown park named for Fredd Atkins, the first man to break the color barrier on what had been an all-white City Commission.\nA sculpture could depict this struggle for equality in moving fashion. But this particular work of Brown's has been called a monstrosity with a confusing, negative message and inappropriate nudity. It was met with stark complaints that local artists would have done a better job.\nIn sum, it was another example of art dividing rather than expressing a community.\nThe best public art can transcend the differences and provide an endless source of inspiration. That is what Sarasota needs and deserves. The question is how best to encourage it.\nGola and Suleymanova acknowledged that they don't have the answer. But their emphasis on a local sense of place -- and local artists to express it -- is one that had been missing from the public conversation.\nA community can get so wrapped up in fighting over a particular sculpture that it neglects the overall purpose and policy vision for the public art program. Let's use this opportunity to refocus and improve.",

I can't even believe that when I say it aloud (or type it lol). In some ways it's hard to believe it was that long ago, but I also don't even remember life before having kids! Time flies when you're having fun...and when you're busier than you've ever been!!\nSharing some pics from my pregnancies and when these little munchkins entered our lives! I remember each of these days like they were yesterday. Each time I went to the hospital to deliver, I had that overwhelming feeling of excitement. I will never get over that feeling of when you meet the little human that existed inside you for 40 weeks and finally getting to see those sweet newborn faces. It's truly the most incredible feeling I could ever imagine. An overwhelming feeling of love and excitement, but there were also feelings of wonder, fear, anxiety, and...exhaustion!\nI really enjoyed going down memory lane and looking back at old pics this year! I feel so incredibly blessed that these three little people call me mommy. My goal in life is to not disappoint them, to always be there for them in every way that I can be, and to help them grow into responsible and caring individuals. I want them to strive to be their best, but know that it's okay to have setbacks. I want them to work hard and appreciate everything they are so lucky to have. I want them to be safe, and make good choices in life. Above all, I want them to find true happiness and peace in this crazy world that we live in. I never understood why my mom worried about me 24/7 growing up, and now I do. Not a second goes by in my day that I'm not 100000% consumed by thinking about these three, and their future...but I wouldn't have it any other way. I was born to be their mommy, THAT I am certain of!!!\nHAPPY MOTHER'S DAY my friends!!!!\nStyleNasreen Shahi May 4, 2018",

        "raw_content": "Can You Hear Me? : How to Connect with People in a Virtual World Hardback\nHello? Are you there? Can you hear me?Communicating virtually is cool, useful, and ubiquitous.\nBut whenever there's a glitch with the technology or a message is unclear, we're reminded that the quality of human connection we experience in many forms of virtual communication is awful.\nWe've all felt disconnected and bored in a video conference, frustrated that we're not getting through on the phone, or upset when our email is badly misinterpreted.\nThe truth is, virtual communication breeds misunderstanding because it deprives us of the emotional knowledge that helps us understand context. How can we fix this? In this powerful, practical book, communication expert Nick Morgan outlines five big problems with communication in the virtual world--lack of feedback, lack of empathy, lack of control, lack of emotion, and lack of connection and commitment--sharply highlighting what is lost in our accelerating shift to a more virtual world. And he provides a clear path forward for helping us connect better with others.\nMorgan argues that while virtual communication will never be as rich or intuitive as a face-to-face meeting, recent research suggests that what will help--and what we need to learn--is to consciously deliver a whole set of cues, both verbal and nonverbal, that we used to deliver unconsciously in the pre-virtual era.\nHe explains and guides us through this important process, providing rules for virtual feedback, an empathy assessment and virtual temperature check, tips for creating trust in a virtual context, and advice for specific digital channels such as email and text, the conference call, Skype, and more. Whether you're an entrepreneur, an independent professional, or a manager in an organization that has more than one office or customers who aren't nearby, Can You Hear Me? is your essential communications manual for twenty-first-century work.\nAlso by Nick Morgan | View all\nInfluence and Persuasion (HBR Emotional...\nHBR's 10 Must Reads on Communication...",

It can be seen in its upland breeding grounds in summer, when it turns brick-red above and sports a black patch on its belly.\nThe Dunlin is a small sandpiper, which can be found at the coast all year round, preferring estuaries, where it seeks out insects, worms and molluscs to eat. In winter, it feeds in large flocks and roosts in nearby fields and saltmarshes. In summer, it breeds in the uplands of the UK, with large numbers in the Western and Northern Isles of Scotland, and the Pennines in England.\nSandpipers can be a difficult group of birds to get to grips with. The Dunlin is unmistakeable in its summer plumage: adults are brick-red above, with a black belly patch. In its winter plumage, the Dunlin is grey above and white underneath, looking very much like the Sanderling. It is a little smaller, however, and has a longer, down-curved bill.\nA common winter visitor to our coasts. Nests on upland moors and bogs in England, Scotland and Wales, and on coastal grasslands around the west coast of Scotland.\nThe common name, Dunlin, comes from this birds' habit of nesting in upland moors and bogs: 'dun' is an old Gaelic word for hill and 'linne' means pool or pond.\nThe Wildlife Trusts are working with fishermen, researchers, politicians and local people towards a Living Seas vision, where coastal and marine wildlife thrives alongside the sustainable use of the ocean's resources. Do your bit for our Living Seas by supporting your local Wildlife Trust.",

        "raw_content": "About the Holley-Navarre Fire District\nThe Holley-Navarre Fire District began as the Holley-Navarre Volunteer Fire Department in 1965 by a group of concerned citizens with no equipment or funding source. The department operated from 1965 until 1980 using borrowed equipment and was funded solely by donations. In 1980 the Holley-Navarre Fire Protection District was created by Florida Special Act 80-603, which was later amended by 81-485. The first act (80-603) established the fire district as an Independent Special Fire Control District, set forth the boundaries and established a funding source through non ad-valorem assessments. The second act (81-485) merely clarified the district\u2019s boundaries.\nThe HNFD is a full time fire department, meaning that fire, rescue and emergency services are provided to the community with full time staff providing 24 hour a day coverage.\nThe Fire District covers approximately 50 square miles in the Southeast corner of Santa Rosa County. Bordering upon the Okaloosa County line on the East and West end border is near St. Sylvester\u2019s Church near Holley by the Sea, encompassing all of Navarre. The HNFD also covers the communities of Holley and Harper. The northern boundary is the Yellow River Bridge.\nThe Holley-Navarre Fire District has 4 fire stations and our apparatus includes 4 frontline engines, 1 light rescue & 2 command vehicles.",

        "raw_content": "Justice Systems Processing of Child Abuse and Neglect Cases in a Local Jurisdiction (County) in the United States, 1993-1994 (ICPSR 2310)\nWells, Susan J., and Sedlak, Andrea. Justice Systems Processing of Child Abuse and Neglect Cases in a Local Jurisdiction (County) in the United States, 1993-1994. Ann Arbor, MI: Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research [distributor], 2006-03-30. https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR02310.v1\nSusan J., Wells, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, School of Social Work; Andrea Sedlak, Westat, Inc.\nThe purpose of this study was to provide a comprehensive, case-level examination of the full spectrum of case processing of serious child abuse and neglect cases as they flowed through the justice process, from initial receipt of a report to final disposition in the criminal and/or civil court. This was accomplished by in-depth, detailed tracking, from a single jurisdiction, of both prospective and retrospective samples of serious child abuse cases reported to child protective services and law enforcement agencies. The four agencies that participated directly by providing case samples and case files for tracking were: (1) Child Protective Services (CPS), (2) the sheriff's office, (3) Dependency Court Legal Services (DCLS), and (4) the county prosecutor's office. Each case was abstracted at the point of sampling and then tracked throughout the other participating agencies. Data were collected over a nine-month period. Part 1, Maltreatment Abstract, Person Roster, and CPS Abstract Data, contains three types of data. First, information is provided on each maltreatment incident committed by each perpetrator, background of the perpetrator and the victim, and characteristics of the incident. The data continue with a roster of persons, which covers the relationships among the individuals in the case and whether any of these individuals were living together at the time of the maltreatment. Data from the CPS abstract include which source brought the case to the attention of Protective Services, the dates, priority, and investigation level of the report, if any prior allegations of maltreatment had occurred that involved either the same victims and/or perpetrators and, if so, information on those reports, and the perpetrator's response to the incident and level of cooperation with the investigation. For each victim, information is given on medical findings, if applicable, whether photographs were taken, whether a guardian was appointed, whether the victim was assigned an interim placement, and the CPS disposition of the case. Part 1 concludes with information on interviews with the victim, where the case was referred, the assessment of risk in the case, and whether the victim was placed in foster care.

This was accomplished by in-depth, detailed tracking, from a single jurisdiction, of both prospective and retrospective case samples of serious child abuse reported to child protective services and law enforcement agencies. The researchers anticipated that the results of this project would address some of the justice system's data needs on abuse and neglect cases, and would enable the design of a national-level system for tracking reported child abuse cases that are investigated, prosecuted, or adjudicated by criminal justice agencies.\nThe four agencies that participated directly by providing case samples and case files for tracking were: (1) Child Protective Services (CPS), from which 225 cases were sampled from CPS files concerning reports received in 1993 in which serious abuse or neglect was confirmed by investigation, (2) the sheriff's office, from which 225 cases were sampled from the sheriff's 1993 arrest and complaint records concerning child abuse or neglect offenses or abuse offenses committed against minors, (3) Dependency Court Legal Services (DCLS), from which 65 dependency court cases were sampled that involved child abuse or neglect and were closed in 1994, and (4) the county prosecutor's office, from which 60 criminal court cases were sampled that involved child abuse and were closed in 1994. Two of the samples (CPS and sheriff's office) were prospective, tracking cases from the time the abuse or neglect was reported through the final disposition of the case, whether in that agency, en route to the court, or in the criminal or dependency court itself. Cases sampled at the entry points in CPS and law enforcement were cross-checked to identify their actual point of first entry to determine which agency was first notified of the abuse. The other two samples (DCLS and county prosecutor's office) were retrospective, tracking cases backward to identify how they flowed though other agencies in the county's system. Each case was abstracted at the point of sampling and then tracked throughout the other participating agencies by data collectors who were each trained in one of the four agencies involved in the study. At their \"home agency,\" the data collectors developed expertise on how the agency handled cases, what to expect in agency files, and whom to contact when questions arose about a case. Matches were sought based on several identifiers such as name, birth date, sex, race, description of the incident, date of the incident, and nature of harm to the child. Once the cases were selected, the researchers examined the cases against the information about the cases sampled in the other agencies to identify and remove duplicates.\nOne county was selected out of the 42 counties in the Third National Incidence Study of Child Abuse and Neglect (NIS-3), sponsored by the United States Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families, National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect. This county was chosen for the high degree of automation in its existing recordkeeping system and for the fact that the prosecutor's office had undertaken a more aggressive approach to prosecution. Within the county, sample selection from the four agencies included only child abuse and neglect cases considered serious throughout the life of the case, and represented the full range of child abuse cases that occurred in a year. The CPS cases included in the sample represented calls to the hotline from January 1 through October 10, 1993. Cases included in the DCLS sample were those closed between January 1 and April 4, 1994. The sample from the sheriff's office was selected in two phases. In the first phase, all arrests that fit the specifications and were not duplicates with other agencies resulted in 100 qualifying 1993 arrests. In the second phase, the first 125 cases that involved complaints concerning violations of the selected statutes and were reported to the sheriff's office between January 1, 1993, and May 17, 1993, were selected. The sampling framework from the prosecutor's office included all criminal cases handled by the Child Abuse Unit that were closed between January 1, 1994, and August 25, 1994.\nAll serious child abuse and neglect cases in the sample county.\nAll child abuse and neglect cases in the selected county from 1993-1994.\ncase files and administrative records from four county agencies\nevent/transaction data, and administrative records data\nPart 1, Maltreatment Abstract, Person Roster, and CPS Abstract Data, contains three types of data. First, information is provided on each maltreatment incident committed by each perpetrator, background of the perpetrator and the victim, and characteristics of the incident. The data continue with a roster of persons, which covers the relationships among the individuals in the case and whether any of these individuals were living together at the time of the maltreatment. Data from the CPS abstract include which source brought the case to the attention of Protective Services, the dates, priority, and investigation level of the report, if any prior allegations of maltreatment had occurred that involved either the same victims and/or perpetrators and, if so, information on those reports, and the perpetrator's response to the incident and level of cooperation with the investigation. For each victim, information is given on medical findings, if applicable, whether photographs were taken, whether a guardian was appointed, whether the victim was assigned an interim placement, and the CPS disposition of the case. Part 1 concludes with information on interviews with the victim, where the case was referred, the assessment of risk in the case, whether the victim was placed in foster care, and any amendments to the report after the initial investigation and classification. Part 2, Dependency Court Abstract Data, provides information on the source of the case, which victims were named in the indictment, the relationship to the victim of other persons who were party to the case, whether there were prior charges against the defendant, and, if so, information on those charges. Other variables provide information on the reason the case was closed, whether actions included a termination of supervision and a new dependency petition and, if so, a description of the petition or motion, outcome as determined by the court, explanation of the petition or court order, status of the case, victim's status at the closing of the case or in the open case, whom the victim was living with, what the child's wishes were as stated in the record, the date and action at issue in the report, and whether a guardian was present. Part 3, Juvenile Court Schedule of Hearings Data, focuses on the schedule of hearings, such as who was present and if they were represented by an attorney, whether the hearing took place, and, if not, the reason for delay. Part 4, Law Enforcement Abstract Data, contains data from law enforcement sources, including dates when incidents to which the police responded first occurred and last occurred, date a complaint report was taken, date the investigative report was completed, arrest date, how the offense was cleared, where the case was filed, whether the case was dropped by law enforcement and, if so, why. Variables regarding the case cover the number of charges, details of each charge, and prior offenses and outcomes for the perpetrator, such as substance abuse, abuse of children, and violence toward or abuse of spouse or partner, as well as criminal status at the time of the offense. Additional information is provided on how the case was handled: confession, victim interview, and what measures were taken to protect the child. Part 5, State Attorney's Office Abstract Data, offers data on the case closing, charges, and sentencing, as well as information on whether a guardian ad litem was appointed, whether a victim impact statement was submitted, type of defense attorney representing for the perpetrator, number of defendants, if a juvenile, how the defendant was referred to adult court, and whether the state attorney filed cases on other perpetrators in the case. Data are also provided on the defendant's prior offenses, which agencies were involved in the investigation, whether the victim was interviewed by the prosecutor prior to filing, and whether the victim was deposed by the state attorney after the case was filed. Part 6, Criminal Court Schedule of Hearings Data, contains information on date of arrest, filing, and court hearing, whether a public defender was assigned, number of hearings, type of hearing, and coded remarks about the hearing. Part 7, State Attorney Addendum Data, provides \"no-file\" data from the State Attorney Questionnaire Addendum, including if the no-file was a warrant or arrest, date of the no-file, and reason for the no-file.\nWells, Susan J., and Andrea Sedlak.

This season is one of those that has seemed quite magical for everyone in the \u201cBig Easy,\u201d and they believe the Saints have a real shot at another championship. It seems that a number of huge names from the past believe the same thing and are going to be in the Dome to take it all in.\nDuring the regular season, the Saints defeated the Panthers twice, and it is always said that it is hard to beat a team three times in a year. The Mercedes-Benz Superdome is going to be rocking with thousands upon thousands of fans who believe it truly is possible.\nThis game has just been made bigger than it already is, though, as it will include numerous big names from the past. There have been rumors flying around that a number of \u201clegends\u201d will be present for the game against the Panthers, but some of them have now been confirmed.\nEarlier this year, former Saints\u2019 running back Reggie Bush revealed he was \u201cdone\u201d in the NFL and would be retiring, as reported by USA Today. Now, he\u2019s heading back to the Dome and leading the way for Black and Gold.\nYessir https://t.co/KGWtCZnFri\n\u2014 Reggie Bush (@ReggieBush) January 4, 2018\nCooking up something special for yall been in the lab working hard pic.twitter.com/NC73xsYEei\nThe Times-Picayune confirmed that Bush will be there, as he will reportedly lead the \u201cWho Dat\u201d chant prior to kickoff. There have been rumors that Reggie would lead the team out of the tunnel while carrying his bat in the same way he used to do when he was on the roster.\nIn an interesting note, Bush retweeted someone who suggested that very thing.\nCome on Reggie! Run out with that bat this Sunday!!!!!\n\u2014 Jer. 29:11 (@inkennerbra) January 4, 2018\nBush won\u2019t be the only former Saint in the Superdome either as WDSU has confirmed that a number of other players are scheduled to be there as well. The Saints organization plans on recognizing the championship team from 2009, and these players are a lock to be there.\nMaking things even more fun for the Saints\u2019 fans is that Shockey is a former member of the Carolina Panthers as well. There is a list making the rounds on social of others who will be present, but it hasn\u2019t been 100 percent confirmed yet.\nThere is a lot of excitement in Louisiana right now, as the New Orleans Saints are having a great season for the first time in years and have made it into the 2018 NFL Playoffs. All throughout the Superdome, there will be feelings of nostalgia as Reggie Bush and others from the 2009 Super Bowl winning team are honored. If the Saints want to beat the Carolina Panthers and advance, they\u2019re going to need all the \u201cWho Dat\u201d spirit they can put together.",

        "raw_content": "New German flight route lifts tourism aspirations for Glasgow\nLufthansa - whose existing passenger base in Glasgow is heavily weighted in favour of inbound tourists - launches new service to Frankfurt\nThe first Lufthansa flight from Frankfurt to Glasgow touches down on Monday\nEfforts to boost tourism around Glasgow by an additional million visitors per year are set for a lift when the first flight on a new direct daily service to Frankfurt lands this afternoon.\nThe new service by Lufthansa follows the announcement at the end of February that Ryanair will close its base at Glasgow Airport in November . The decision is widely seen as a setback to efforts to boost tourist numbers by a million by 2023, a target hat has been set as part of broader economic development plans for the region.\nLoganair steps in to offer link between Glasgow and Derry\nLufthansa already flies from Glasgow to Munich five times per week, a service which launched in October. Its offering from the city's main airport has increased from a single weekly service to 12 flights a week in just six months.\nLufthansa transported nearly 60,000 passengers to and from Glasgow last year, and is more than doubling its seats on Glasgow flights in 2018. Crucially, 80 per cent of last year's passengers were foreign visitors to Scotland.\nThe German carrier remains more heavily represented out of Edinburgh, where it offers 46 weekly flights. However, senior UK sales director Andreas Koester described the level of growth out of Glasgow as \"almost unprecedented\", underlining its importance within Lufthansa's world-wide network.\n\"This new daily service opens up a huge number of business and leisure opportunities to Scottish passengers,\" he said. \"Not only does it provide access to one of Europe's financial capitals, but it also introduces new options for onward travel to hundreds of worldwide destinations.\"\n'Gear change' for Scottish tourism as first-ever direct service to China is confirmed\nSpeaking last month to insider.co.uk , Glasgow Chamber of Commerce chief executive Stuart Patrick warned that the decision by Ryanair must not be allowed to hamper the region's plans for economic growth . Glasgow will lose a total of 23 routes, with five being shifted to Edinburgh.\nAt the time it announced it would close in Glasgow, Ryanair cited the burden of Air Passenger Duty (APD) as one of the factors for its decision. This cost is said to fall disproportionately on Glasgow, which has a higher ratio of less lucrative outbound passengers than in Edinburgh.\nAsked about the impact of APD on Lufthansa's future plans in Scotland, Koester said it would not be a \"driver\" in the group's decision-making. Officials in Glasgow hope that Lufthansa's higher profit margins will make it more immune than the likes of Ryanair to the effects of APD.\nAirline industry voices 'disappointment' over Air Departure Tax delay\n\"It does not help us with profitability, but it is there and we have to deal with it,\" Koester said.\n\"At the end of the day (our services) have to be commercially viable. Air Passenger Duty is part of that, but only a small part of that.\"\nFrancois Bourienne, commercial director at Glasgow Airport, said the hub is \"thrilled to welcome the first passengers\" on the new service, which is due to arrive at 3pm today.\n\"the route will not only continue to link two cities that share much in common, but provide access to one of the airline's key international hubs where our passengers can connect onwards to hundreds of destinations world-wide,\" he added.",

Unless another name surfaced in the last few days, Grewal looked like the preferred direction by Governor-elect Phil Murphy.\nThe choice boiled down late to former Assistant U.S. Attorney Phil Sellinger, former First Assistant Attorney General Ricardo Solano and Grewal. At the very least, InsiderNJ can report \u2013 with confidence right now \u2013 that Sellinger and Solano did not get the job, according to sources close to both men.\nDisappointed sources in those camps acknowledged their allies had lost their bids to be AG.\nThat likely left Grewal standing, but again, another out-of the box option might have emerged.\nInsiderNJ reported here that the contest came down to the three of them.\nThe names of politically connected attorney Angelo Genova and Hudson County Prosecutor Esther Suarez had also circulated.\nBut on Monday, Grewal looked like the strongest contender late, if not Murphy\u2019s choice.\nAn announcement was expected later this week.\nA Sikh American in a year when South Asians won critical races around the state, he assumed the office of Acting Bergen County Prosecutor on January 4, 2016, and was sworn in as Bergen County Prosecutor on November 14, 2016. He commands an office of 265 personnel at the Bergen County Prosecutor\u2019s Office, consisting of assistant Prosecutors, detectives, and support staff.\nHaving grown up in Fairfield, Grewal is a lifelong friend of Hoboken Mayor-elect Ravi Bhalla, and a graduate of West Essex High School, where U.S. Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-5) also attended school.\nPrior to his appointment, Grewal worked as an Assistant United States Attorney (\u201cAUSA\u201d) in the Criminal Division of the United States Attorney\u2019s Office for the District of New Jersey from 2010 to 2016. While at the U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office, he served as Chief of the Economic Crimes Unit from 2014 to 2016 and oversaw the investigation and prosecution of all major white collar and cyber crimes in the District of New Jersey.\nAccording to the Bergen County Prosecutor\u2019s website, he served as the lead prosecutor in United States v. Drinkman, et al., the largest known data breach prosecution in which the conspirators participated in a worldwide scheme that targeted major corporate networks and stole more than 160 million credit card numbers, causing hundreds of millions of dollars in losses.",

        "raw_content": "The researchers at Instituto Bernabeu point out that their work is \"incredibly relevant since we have identified factors that mean we can predict the probability of mosaicism in embryos during courses of IVF treatment.\"\nTwo cell populations with different genetic endowment co-exist in embryos with chromosomal mosaicism. It is a relatively frequent phenomenon in IVF cycles. Embryos of this kind can implant and lead to the birth of a healthy child but their ability to lead to full-term pregnancies is slightly under that of chromosomally normal embryos.\nThe study analysed different variables linked to chromosomal mosaicism. The experts have identified factors that can increase the chances of an embryo being mosaic. The results were obtained following analysis of 1,923 embryos from 704 courses of IVF.\nThe research determines that, whilst maternal age does not appear to affect mosaicism, paternal age does. Furthermore, the older the father, the greater the chance of the embryo having chromosomal mosaicism: 10.7% of embryos from males under 40 years of age compared with 14% in the case of males over 40 years of age.\nThe quality of the male partner's semen, FISH in spermatozoa and sperm fragmentation would not appear to influence embryo mosaicism. Embryo quality is, however, associated with mosaicism. In embryos graded as A-level quality, only 8.2% of embryos have embryo mosaicism compared with 13.8% in B-level quality embryos, 24.1% in C-level quality embryos and 22.4% in D-level quality embryos.\nThe research work was carried out by doctors Jos\u00e9 Antonio Ortiz, Bel\u00e9n Lled\u00f3, Ruth Morales, Eva Garc\u00eda-Hern\u00e1ndez, Jorge Ten, the Medical Co-Director, Joaqu\u00edn Ll\u00e1cer, and the Medical Director of Instituto Bernabeu, Rafael Bernabeu.\nFactors associated with chromosomal mosaicism in trophoectoderm cells.

        "title": "In 'Gravity Spy,' Citizen Scientists Hunt for Gravitational Waves | Inverse",
        "raw_content": "ScienceGravitational WavesShareSubscribe\n'Gravity Spies' Are Hunting for Gravitational Waves\nCitizen scientists are helping in the hunt for space ripples.\nFiled Under Algorithms, Astronomy, Computers, Data, Machine Learning, Physics & Stars\nIn 1916, Albert Einstein predicted the existence of gravitational waves when he proposed his theory of general relativity. Einstein figured that any object with mass creates a kind of signal, rippling through spacetime, whooshing through the universe at the speed of light with its sound arriving later. This would theoretically mean that the crash of two black holes colliding into each other billions of years ago wouldn\u2019t be detected by humans \u2014 and then even, barely so \u2014 for millennia.\nEinstein\u2019s theory was spectacularly confirmed in September 2015 with a \u201cchirp\u201d. Then in June, scientists confirmed Einstein\u2019s foresight yet again when gravitational waves were detected for a third time, flutters of spacetime when two black holes crashed into into each other between 1.6 and 4.3 billion years ago.\nWhile the detection of gravitational waves was done by scientists using high-precision equipment, the future of this crucial branch of science depends on flocks of unpaid, civilian nerds who want to make a difference.\nGravity Spy, is a volunteer network of 9,000 normals who comb through data collected by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), an extremely sensitive detection system that uses laser beams to detect physical distortions caused by passing gravitational waves split between Livingston, Louisiana and Hanford, Washington.\nIn 2016, a year after the first gravitational wave was detected, the Gravity Spy project was launched with funding from the National Science Foundation. Its goal: Recruit more bodies to sift through the huge swaths of data LIGO generates and identify glitches \u2014 instrumental and environmental sources of noises that make LIGO less sensitive to gravitational waves and make it difficult for computers to create models.\n\u201cI like to think of it like a microphone,\u201d Joshua Smith, an associate professor of physics at California State University, Fullerton, working on the project, tells Inverse. \u201cYou have a microphone and you\u2019re trying to listen to a beautiful quiet song \u2014 but your microphone is an electrical device that has all of this crinkling and crackling. We\u2019re trying to figure out how to make those crackling sounds go away so we can hear the beautiful songs.\u201d\nMichael Zevin, a Ph.D. student at Northwestern University who helped designed and build Gravity Spy, says that while they\u2019ve been able to confirm three detections of gravitational waves, there have, in turn, been \u201chundreds of thousands of these triggers\u201d \u2014 out-noise features (the technical term for glitches) that make their way into the data. Physicists sometimes know where the noise is coming from, but sometimes they don\u2019t: Strong wind blowing can show up as a glitch or ringing frequencies from LIGO\u2019s mirrors, which are held by a pendulum system, can emerge like a \u201cpluck of a violin string,\u201d Zevin says.\nBut scientists don\u2019t want to just toss out the glitches that cross their paths; they want to figure out what they are and further improve LIGO\u2019s sensitivity moving forward, too.\n\u201cWithout good knowledge of the noise in the detectors, it would be near impossible to make discovery of these gravitational waves,\u201d says Zevin. \u201cEven though the Citizens aren\u2019t really searching for gravitational waves themselves, without their help and without the help of the teams that actually do the analysis of all the noise, we would have no way of detecting gravitational waves in the first place.\u201d\nOn the Gravity Spy website, users are presented with an image of a glitch and asked to identify its morphology. Each shape is considered a different type of glitch \u2014 a symmetric teardrop, for example, is called a \u201cblip,\u201d while a thin half-curve is called a \u201cwhisper.\u201d These glitches can mimic the detection of astrophysical signals, which is why scientists need humans to identify and characterize the most frequent glitches so they can recognize the subtle differences. As more people identify glitch outliers, the machine learning that underlies Gravity Spy improves as well.\nA \"blip\" glitch.\n\u201cWe\u2019re trying to build a model that combines what computers are good at and what humans are good at to create something that is sustainable and will allow projects to classify even bigger data sets in the future,\u201d says Zevin. \u201cWhen people identify a new glitch class that appears in the data, they can help us build data sets that computer algorithms can learn off.\u201d\nBesides identifying glitches, users are also encouraged to point out new types of glitches, create candidate classes, and find relations between them. But many participants go above and beyond putting in the time to understand the physical causes of glitches, what causes a specific morphology, and learning about the complex rules of gravitation.\n\u201cThis is a very cooperative community,\u201d Barbara T\u00e9gl\u00e1s tells Inverse. \u201cThe participants help each other [via an online forum], teach each other, and solve problems together. Many of us read scientific publications and technical papers about the detectors. When the scientific team confirms something we\u2019ve found out, it\u2019s a success for the whole community.\u201d\nT\u00e9gl\u00e1s has been volunteering as a Gravity Spy since April 2016, and has spent a few hours almost every day since participating. A biotechnology engineer who has had a long, established passion for the sciences, T\u00e9gl\u00e1s, who was born in Hungary, logs on from her home in France to participate in multiple citizen scientists projects hosted on Zooinverse. With Gravity Spy, she gets to indulge her curiosity about astronomy and the galaxy, while interacting with a group of people she describes as \u201chelpful, friendly, and intelligent.\u201d\n\u201cI chose to participate because I realized it was a great opportunity to be a part of one of the most prominent scientific projects in the world,\u201d says T\u00e9gl\u00e1s. \u201cI thought that if I could do something for this, even the tiniest thing, it was worth it.\u201d\nColliding black holes creates a gravitational wave.\nAnd it is worth it: T\u00e9gl\u00e1s and her peers are helping play a role in further unlocking the mysteries of the universe. That\u2019s not some empty goal T\u00e9gl\u00e1s has outlined: It\u2019s why the discovery of gravitational waves is so important, because their existence can lead to the discovery of thus-far unseen astrophysical objects like neutron stars, supernovas, and even other forms of gravity. Gravitational waves create a ripple through the space they travel through, causing distances to shrink and stretch, and their emergence from entities like black holes confirms those entities exist.\n\u201cEven if we were to detect a new event that had the exact same properties of one of the three that we\u2019ve already detected, it would still be a huge leap forward because we\u2019re accessing black holes that are remnants of stars that have long been dead,\u201d says Zevin. \u201cWe\u2019re accessing information about them that we\u2019ve never been able to access before \u2014 glimpses of the last seconds of these collisions, which allows us to extrapolate tons of information about how stars evolved and the environments in which these black holes really formed.\u201d\nSmith, who says he is \u201ccompletely sold\u201d on a citizen scientists project, is also quick to point out that not only is it that the volunteers are providing scientists with crucial help, but that what they\u2019re doing has a historical precedent. Everyone should feel like they can participate in science, he argues, and if they make that decision then everyone can benefit. People throughout history have made contributions to science where they weren\u2019t necessarily trained experts, Smith reasons, and there shouldn\u2019t be some kind of bar that only allows certain types of people to do science.\nBesides, if there was one, they wouldn\u2019t have be able to have the sort of wondrous moments Smith has been lucky enough to encounter as a scientist.\n\u201cWe expected that the first waves we would see would be tiny, but instead the very first thing we saw was beautiful and gigantic,\u201d says Smith. \u201cThis waveform was so clear that we could put the model waveform from Einstein\u2019s theory of general relativity on top of it, and they were a perfect match. It seemed too good to be true.\u201d\nMedia via Zooniverse, Wikimedia Commons, Unsplash / Mar Newhall\n\"Ultra-Stripped\" Supernova Explosion Reveals Clues t...\nNew Era of Astronomy Unearths Clues About the Universe\nThe Major Blazar Discovery Is \"Just the Beginning' o...",

        "title": "VeChain Price Analysis: VEN Experiences Price Rebound Ahead of Token Migration",
        "raw_content": "July 5, 2018 By Yaz Sheikh\t0Comments\nOne of top 20 cryptocurrencies, VeChain, has experienced a week of bullish price action as the market has risen by 9.46% over the past 7 trading days. The crypto giant is currently trading hands at $2.78, at the time of writing, enjoying a 2.53% price hike over the past 24 hours alone.\nVeChain was created to become a trust free and distributed ecosystem specializing in supply chain management. Using the VeChain Identity Technology (VID), manufacturers and producers can assign supplies or products with unique identifiers. This identifier can then be integrated with the product through QR codes, NFC chips or RFID tags and can be used by suppliers, retailers and consumers to verify the authenticity, quality and quantity available of that specific product. This creates a new standard of asset digitization on the blockchain for supply chains that can be relied upon as it is tamper proof.\nVeChain was founded in 2015 and has already enjoyed favorable partnerships with reputable companies such as BitOcean, PWC, Renault and Microsoft. The cryptocurrency is currently undergoing a token migration as the VEN network tokens switches from the Ethereum blockchain to new VeChain Thor blockchain launched on June 30. This new blockchain has claimed that it can handle up to 10,000 transactions per second (TPS), significantly higher than the 25 TPS that Ethereum is currently able to process.\nVeChain is currently ranked 18th in terms of overall market cap across the entire industry, with a market cap value of $1.54 billion. This is down by a total of $600 million from the market cap high seen last month on June 4 at a value of $2.14 billion. The market has some significant losses to regain from the last month as price value has dropped by 28.15% over the past 30 trading days, and much further over the longer term as shown in the market cap graph below.\nData from www.coinmarketcap.com\nLet us analyze price action over the long term for VenChain.\nVEN/USD \u2013 LONG TERM \u2013 DAILY CHART\nhttps://www.tradingview.com/x/2c2E4iBc/\nAnalyzing price action from the long-term perspective above, we can see that, like most altcoins around this period, VEN had experienced an incredible bullish run rising from a low of $0.22 on December 1, 2017 to an all time high of $9.71 on January 22, 2018. This was an epic price increase of over 5,000% from low to high.\nSince placing the all-time high, price action went on to depreciate, initially finding support at the .618 Fibonacci Retracement, priced at $3.88, in February 2018. This is a Fibonacci Retracement taken from the entire bullish run outlined above. Price action continued to decline through March until reaching support at the .786 Fibonacci Retracement, priced at $2.28 in April.\nPrice action has currently returned to support level at the .786 Fibonacci Retracement after experiencing 2 continued months of declining prices during May and June. If the market can pick up some bullish momentum, the nearest area of resistance from a long-term perspective comes at the .618 Fibonacci Retracement, priced at $3.88. If the market can clear this level, it will be free to tackle May\u2019s price high again at $5.69.\nAlternatively, if the previously seen bearish momentum continues and pushes prices below the .786 Fibonacci Retracement, then the nearest level of support from a long-term perspective is located at the .886 Fibonacci Retracement priced at $1.33.\nLet us continue to analyze price action over the more recent term a little closer.\nVEN/USD \u2013 SHORT TERM \u2013 DAILY CHART\nhttps://www.tradingview.com/x/opllhwby/\nAnalyzing the market at a shorter time period, we can see that VEN had experienced another bullish run during April, rising from a low of $2.07 on April 1, 2018 to a high of $5.69 experienced on May 4, 2018. This was a respectable price increase of 170% in price from low to high.\nPrice action went on to fall during the rest of May, originally finding brief support at the short term .618 Fibonacci Retracement (marked in black), priced at $3.45. This is a Fibonacci Retracement taken from the bullish run seen during April. Price action went on to fall further during June, firstly finding support at the short term .786 Fibonacci Retracement, priced at $2.84, before breaking below and finding further support at the short term .886 Fibonacci Retracement, priced at $2.48. We can also see that price action briefly spiked further lower before being strongly rejected by the long term .886 Fibonacci Retracement (marked in red), priced at $2.28.\nPrice action has since rebounded and is currently testing resistance at the .786 Fibonacci Retracement once again priced at $2.84. If the bullish momentum can continue within the market and push prices above $2.84, then near-term resistance is located at the .618 Fibonacci Retracement, priced at $3.45. Significant resistance is expected in this area due to added pressure from the 100-day moving average being located here. If the market can continue further above this level, then it will be free to retest June\u2019s price high at $4.22.\nAlternatively, if the bullish momentum recently experienced is short lived, initial support can be found at $2.48 followed by the long term .786 Fibonacci Retracement at $2.28. Support below this level can firstly be located at the April low of $2.07 followed by the 1.414 Fibonacci Extension priced at $1.84.\nThe technical indicators are starting to show some favor toward the bulls. The RSI has recently battled its way to the upside above the 50 handle, highlighting the recent bullish momentum within the market. If the RSI can maintain above the 50 handle, then we expect the bullish momentum to continue.\nSimilarly, the 7-day EMA moving average (blue line) has began to show signs of reversing as it starts to approach the 21-day EMA (purple line). If the 7-day EMA can cross up above the 21-day EMA, this would act as a bullish crossover indicating that the market is in the midst of a bullish reversal.\nWith VeChain launching its own blockchain recently, the future is likely to be very promising for token holders. However, during a token migration, trading volume is likely to decline as investors and traders tend to trade less during uncertain fundamental times.\nThe token migration is expected to occur during mid-July. Once it is complete, we are expecting the market to react promisingly as VeChain continues to release regular development updates.\nRelated: 5 Reasons To Invest in VeChain (Opinion)\nTags: Price Analysis, VeChain, VeChain Thor, VEN, VET",

        "raw_content": "Advisors want more from ETF providers\nHome News Research and Markets Advisors want more from ETF providers\nAlmost four in 10 Canadian advisors expect to increase their usage of ETFs within the next 12 months\nrvlsoft/123RF\nCanadian financial advisors are calling on ETF providers to expand the range of funds that they offer with exposure to categories such as international and global equities, commodities, international fixed-income and smart beta investment strategies, according to a recent survey from London, England-based index provider FTSE Russell.\nFTSE Russell polled 256 financial advisors in the U.S., Canada and the U.K. this past autumn on their perception and usage of ETFs and, in particular, smart beta investment strategies. The results revealed that 37% of Canadian advisors expect to increase their usage of ETFs in the next 12 months \u2014 a higher proportion than any other product category.\nIn comparison, 25% of advisors said they plan to increase their usage of active mutual funds, 22% said they plan to increase usage of separately managed accounts and 17% said they plan to increase usage of passive mutual funds.\nWhen Canadian advisors were asked in which areas they would like to see more ETF choices, 31% said international/global equity ETFs, 30% said smart beta/factor ETFs, 28% said emerging-market equity ETFs, 28% said commodity ETFs and 28% said international fixed income ETFs. Other categories cited included currency hedged, domestic equity, multi-asset and domestic fixed income ETFs, among others.\nWhen asked about the most important factors when selecting an ETF, 44% of Canadian advisors cited cost, 38% cited performance, and 37% cited diversification. Other key factors included tax efficiency, index methodology and liquidity.\nWhen it comes to smart beta, the research suggests that although many advisors are interested in \u2014 and using \u2014 the investment strategy, there is limited understanding of it. Slightly more than half of Canadian advisors reported that they had used a smart beta index-based strategy, 40% said they have not used one and 6% said they weren\u2019t sure.\n\u201cSome people aren\u2019t always sure what we mean by smart beta,\u201d said Rolf Agather, managing director of North American research at FTSE Russell, who presented the results of the survey at a conference in Toronto on Thursday. He defines smart beta broadly as an index strategy that falls somewhere between traditional active and traditional passive management. However, he notes that specific definitions vary, which has created some confusion.\n\u201cIt still feels like there\u2019s some room to grow in terms of the market for those types of products,\u201d he said.\nAmong the advisors surveyed who hadn\u2019t used a smart beta strategy, 31% said it was because they didn\u2019t know enough about them, 28% said they didn\u2019t have a long enough track record and 19% said they hadn\u2019t found a manager they trust who offers the strategies. Other reasons included: they don\u2019t feel the strategies are worth the extra fees; it\u2019s not possible to predict whether they will outperform traditional active or traditional passive funds; and they\u2019re not sure how to implement them.\n\u201c[Advisors] don\u2019t know enough about them \u2026We need to keep providing information,\u201d says Agather. \u201cJust like any investment product, people need to see an actual live track record on these products.\u201d\nAmong the advisors surveyed who are using smart beta strategies, the top reasons that advisors said they employed the strategy was to improve diversification, generate income and protect against inflation.\nFTSE Russell partnered with market research firm Greenwald & Associates to conduct the research. To be eligible to participate in the study, advisors were required to be working full-time as an advisor or wealth manager, have been an advisor for at least three years, have AUM greater than US$25 million and have at least 50% fee-based annual revenue.",

        "title": "5 Mistakes in Financial Planning You Must Avoid as a Young Investor",
        "raw_content": "Always remember that financial planning is very crucial part of your day-to-day life. In simple words, just as we wake up every day, sip our morning cup of tea, enjoy our breakfast, and prepare for another day of work, we need to include financial planning as part of our daily routine. The good thing is that all of us know this or are at least aware of this. However, just a few of us realise the significance of financial planning and make it a crucial part of our day-to-day routine.\nLet\u2019s have a look at the 5 mistakes that young financial planners must avoid to ensure that the returns and retirement savings are not affected:\nCommencing late\nThe earlier you start the financial planning process the better for you. Please remember that your money compounds over time. Thus, more time means higher effect of compounding. Starting your financial planning at a later age will affect your plans for long-term savings and investment, since you have a lower time horizon for your money to grow. Let\u2019s say you start financial planning at 30 years when you started earning from 25 itself. In that case, you will have to make double the investment on monthly basis of what you could have invested had you started the process at 25 itself. Only then you will be able to make up for the lack of planning for the 5 years. If you don\u2019t make this adjustment, you will likely lose benefit of compounding for that 5-year period between the age of 25 and 30.\nKnow everything, do nothing\nMost people who start financial planning at a young age tend to get excited and often lose focus on their long-term goals. Thus, this could affect the accomplishment of long-term objectives. What happens generally is that young investors are aware of the importance of financial planning, but somehow end up missing the bus on executing their plans. Your family\u2019s future lies in your hands. Hence, don\u2019t let financial planning take a back seat. Ensure that you have clear goals in place and quantify them, which makes them measurable over a time horizon. By starting to earn at a young age, you have been blessed with the biggest boon to make your retirement and life\u2019s dreams come true. However, this requires planning ahead of time and making the right investment choices. Thus, knowing everything and doing nothing is a sheer waste of your valuable earnings and investment potential as a young investor.\nFear of investing\nMany young investors fear investing their money, since they are afraid of losing it. Therefore, they always stay confused and can\u2019t make up their minds on investment choices. It is crucial for you to understand that risk exists at every step of your life. Despite being highly careful and attentive, you will be at risk while crossing the road. Does this stop you from being cautious and well-planned while crossing? The answer is no. Then why don\u2019t you apply the same theory to investing. Prepare a detailed financial plan, research your investment options, monitor your investments, and reap the good results. By spreading your money across asset classes, you mitigate the risks of investment. The best ways to manage investment risk is by understanding your own risk appetite. This will help you plan your debt-equity asset allocation based on your risk propensity.\nLetting your money lie idle in your savings bank\nPlease note that the bank interest rates range from 4-4.5% while the inflation rate is about 6%. Thus, returns on your bank savings account will not be enough to beat growing inflation in the long run. In your attempt to protect your capital, you are risking losing your principal sum itself in the long run. You must always look at diversified investment options that include MF SIP, equity, corporate fixed deposits, IPO, OFS, and NFS. This will ensure that you spread your risks effectively as well. Moreover, this will be the only way you can maintain your lifestyle effectively and plan towards a peaceful retired life. Thus, perform a \u2018risk vs. returns\u2019 analysis before you plan your investment strategy.\nNot re-balancing and reviewing your investment portfolio\nRe-balancing and reviewing your investment portfolio at regular intervals is crucial as an investor. This will help you largely in getting rid of all your non-performing investments while assisting you in realigning your investment portfolio to provide you with the best possible results from your savings.\nPrevious Post (p)\t5 vital things you need to see in your NPS statement\nNext Post (n)\tIt\u2019s raining IPOs this year, but do you have enough information before investing?",

        "title": "The Top 5 Dividend Paying Oil Stocks for 2018 (BP, RDS-A, RDS-B, E, TOT, OXY)",
        "raw_content": "The Top 5 Dividend Paying Oil Stocks for 2018 (BP, RDS-A, RDS-B, E, TOT, OXY)\nBy Michelle Toovey\nStocks aren't exactly high-yielding investments; the average yield of a stock in the S&P 500 is 1.7%. However, the oil sector is an exception. Oil stocks are higher-yielding because they are riskier due to their exposure to oil prices. A few years ago, oil producers reduced or eliminated their payouts when prices plunged.\nDividends are a per share payment distributed to shareholders monthly, quarterly, or annually. The per share payment is easy for investors to understand when it comes to getting their dividend checks, but it is hard to analyze the total return for the amount of money invested in the company\u2019s stock by looking at per share dividend payment alone. To properly evaluate dividends, look at the dividend yield.\nThe dividend yield is the number of dividends a company pays relative to its stock price. It is calculated by dividing dividends paid per share by the stock price. For an investor, this is an indicator of how much dividend payment they will get in relation to the amount of money tied up in the company\u2019s stock.\nThe dividend yield formula reveals important information. Dividends paid and dividend yield have a direct relationship; when one value goes up, so does the other. Also, dividend yields and stock prices have an inverse relationship; when one goes up, the other goes down. This is why during tough times if a company's dividend payments are maintained while stock values plummet, dividend yield soars.\nMany stocks in the energy sector pay higher-than-average yields; the highest often come from companies that transport, process, and store oil and gas. The companies below are the top five Dividend Paying Oil-producing Stocks for 2018.\nOil Dividend Stock Ticker Symbol Dividend Yield\nBP NYSE:BP 6%\nRoyal Dutch Shell NYSE:RDS-A; NYSE:RDS-B 6%\nEni NYSE:E 5.4%\nTotal NYSE:TOT 5.2%\nOccidental Petroleum NYSE:OXY 4.2%\n5 Highest Dividend Paying Oil Stock as of November 2018\nThe Oil Sector's High Dividend Yields\nThe oil sector is paying well because investors remain skittish based on recent years. Crude prices started tumbling in 2014 when demand weakened but production continued. Oil companies suffered low cash flow and difficulty meeting debt obligations and paying dividends. Small oil companies disappeared while the larger firms cut costs and dividend payouts.\nSince then, the industry has started to recover and prices are rising again. Earnings and dividends are up but stock prices still lag, making the dividend yields high.\nHere's a look at the top five oil dividend stocks.\nBP has the highest yield because it pays out a large portion of its cash flow to fund its dividend. In 2017, the company produced $24.1 billion in cash from operating activities and paid out dividends totaling $6.3 billion, which was just over a quarter of its cash flow. BP reinvested its excess cash in its business, spent $16.5 billion on production and repurchased shares with the remainder. With even higher oil prices in 2018, BP increased its payout by 2.5% for 2018, the company's first increase since 2014.\nRoyal Dutch Shell is the second-highest-yielding dividend in the oil-producing sector. During the downturn in 2014, instead of cutting its payout, the company sold assets and offered investors the option of being paid in shares rather than cash. This preserved cashflow helped the company to regain a healthy balance sheet.\nCash flow has improved along with oil prices. In the first half of 2018, Shell generated $18.2 billion in cash, paid out $8.2 billion in dividends and funding, and $10 billion in capital expenses.\nEni SpA is the largest corporation in Italy and is partially owned by the Italian government (~30%) and the Chinese government (2%).\nThe company was originally founded in 1926 under the name Agip. It was reorganized as Italy's national oil and gas company in 1953. Eni SpA has cut its dividend payments in the past. When oil prices collapsed in 2009, Eni reduced its dividend by 23 percent. In September 23, 2015, the company reduced its interim dividend paid by 29 percent from $0.56 to $0.40.\nThe management of Eni does not hesitate to drop dividend payments when oil prices fall.\nBased in France, integrated oil producer Total SA (NYSE: TOT) is very diversified with business segments that include an upstream segment, a refining, and chemicals segment, a marketing and services segment, and a corporate segment. The company\u2019s diversity helped limit Total's stock losses during the oil price downturn in 2014 and 2015. From December 2014 to December 2015, the company\u2019s shares only fell 3 percent, which is a fraction compared to most oil companies.\nTotal has not reduced its dividend in over a decade. While the company is not a classic oil company, all of its business lines are focused on the oil market, and this diversity helped its valuation during oil\u2019s steep price descent. Even though the company did not have the steep share price plunge to help boost yields, it still maintained a dividend yield in 2018 of 5.2%.\nInvestors tend to overlook Occidental Petroleum because it lacks the name recognition of BP, Shell, and Exxon, but it has outperformed many of its competitors over the years seeing a 500 percent annual dividend increase. The company has increased its payout 500 percent, which explains its high yields. Occidental Petroleum is planning to increase production annually at a rate of between 5 to 8 percent, which will be aided by the current oil prices.\nTop 5 Copper Stocks for 2018\n5 Stocks to Buy as Oil Rebounds\nThe world's top 10 natural gas companies\nTop Oil Stocks for January 2019",

Cops are here arresting him (sic)\"\nIt was not the only time last year Paris experienced an attempted intrusion - in October a man was arrested after he snuck past a security post at the exclusive Mulholland Estates gated community and banged on her door.",

        "raw_content": "Life After Beth review: Love in a time of zombies\nFilm Title: Life After Beth\nStarring: Aubrey Plaza, Dane DeHaan, Molly Shannon\nThu, Oct 9, 2014, 14:09\nFirst published: Fri, Oct 3, 2014, 01:12\nZach (Dane DeHaan) blinks indecisively in the napkin aisle of the supermarket. He\u2019s on the way to his girlfriend Beth\u2019s funeral: she has tragically died after a snakebite on a hiking trip.\nLonely and depressed, Zach starts to spend more time with Beth\u2019s parents (John C Reilly and Molly Parker) until one day, he turns up and finds their house barricaded. Persistent inquiries and peeks through the window allow Zach to discover that Beth (Aubrey Plaza) is back from the dead and suspiciously nicer than he remembers her.\nHer father insists that they don\u2019t use the \u201cz word\u201d but it soon becomes clear that a zombie apocalypse is on the way. Jeff Baena\u2019s initially clever zom-com makes merry with deadened teen inflections, as befits a film featuring the star of Parks and Recreation and the title voice of the incoming Grumpy Cat film. (Your internet clicks caused this: now live with it.) In quieter moments, one longs for the hustle and bustle of The Virgin Suicides.\nThat\u2019s not to say that the film is dull or uneventful. As an outsized, monstrous romance, Life After Beth is funny and likeable. The cast is populated by talented people, none more so than Chronicle\u2019s Dean DeHaan, who makes for a splendidly unconventional leading man. Unhappily, as a zombie movie, the film has nowhere to go. There are no explanations or satisfactory resolutions before the final credits. There is only a perfunctory ending.\nBeth\u2019s affliction plays as a comical set of references to The Exorcist, but far outstays its welcome. Plaza\u2019s performance, in turn, becomes too silly, even for humorous purposes. Good effort. Great actors. But a missed opportunity.",

        "raw_content": "Scorpion: Walter O'Brien on his life off-screen\nThe high-tech escapades in the TV version of his life can sound run of the mill when you hear Walter O\u2019Brien talk about his work, from nannying \u2018supergeniuses\u2019 to breaking journalists out of jail\nWalter O\u2019Brien, the son of a Wexford farmer, says he has an IQ of 196. The Irishman\u2019s life is now the subject of Scorpion, a prime-time TV drama in the US. Photograph: Lisette M. Azar/CBS via Getty Images\nJadyn Wong, Ari Stidham, Elyes Gabel (as O\u2019Brien), Katharine McPhee and Eddie Kaye Thomas in Scorpion. Photograph: Monty Brinton/CBS via Getty Images\nThe man with perhaps the fourth-highest IQ ever measured says, \u201cOnce your IQ is 150 or over, it stops beings ability and becomes a disability.\u201d Walter O\u2019Brien, the son of a Wexford farmer, says he has an IQ of 196. The Irishman\u2019s life is now the subject of Scorpion, a prime-time TV drama in the US. The show, about supergeniuses solving crimes, will soon be screened on RT\u00c9. His life story, as he tells it, is as remarkable as anything on television.\nWhen CBS, the network behind Scorpion, unveiled O\u2019Brien to the press, one journalist asked the show\u2019s producer why the network was investing so much money in the story of an Irish \u201csupergeek\u201d. \u201cWalter O\u2019Brien has saved the world several times over \u2013 things he can\u2019t even tell us about,\u201d the producer said. \u201cWalter personally caught the Boston Marathon bombers. This makes for compelling television.\u201d\nIt\u2019s impossible to substantiate such claims. It\u2019s even hard to pin down what having a high IQ means. O\u2019Brien\u2019s was measured when he was a child; IQ tests usually takes age into account: a 10-year-old with the intelligence of a 15-year-old is certainly bright but isn\u2019t necessarily as clever as a normal 20-year-old.\nBut back to high-tech derring-do. Ask O\u2019Brien directly if he has ever saved the world and he evades the question with a series of \u201cthere are things I can\u2019t talk about\u201d answers. Ask him anything else and he\u2019ll talk you under the table.\nO\u2019Brien, who is 39, was born and grew up near Clonroche. The second child in a family of five, he says he always knew he was \u201cweird\u201d because of his mental ability. At the age of nine he got his hands on his first computer, an Amstrad. \u201cI learned everything there was to know about this computer in three days,\u201d he says. \u201cI didn\u2019t sleep or eat for three days; I just took this computer apart.\u201d\nAt St Mary\u2019s CBS in Enniscorthy he stood out immediately, he says. \u201cI just didn\u2019t know what to do, how to behave. I sucked at hurley. Maybe I was unpopular a bit because I was a teacher\u2019s pet. But even the teachers complained about me. They would say to my parents, \u2018For every one question any pupil asks, Walter asks 10.\u2019 \u201d\nPress O\u2019Brien and he responds that he can\u2019t say any more about any deals he may have cut with the US authorities. \u201cI cannot go into all of that. It\u2019s been purged,\u201d he says.\nIt is a matter of record, though, that a few years later, when O\u2019Brien was in his mid 20s, the US recognised him as being of value to the country and granted him an E11 visa \u2013 aka a Green Card Through Self Petition, which allows people who have shown \u201cextraordinary abilities\u201d to become US residents.\nHe misses Ireland. \u201cI\u2019m a typical Irishman, in that I only get home for weddings and funerals. Since that original Irish Times article\u201d \u2013 we first reported in August the details of the show and O\u2019Brien\u2019s life \u2013 \u201cI\u2019ve been getting loads of messages from old school friends and people I used to know. I\u2019ve a meeting with the queen of England in October, so I\u2019ll get home then.\n\u201cIt was difficult for my family growing up. Having one of the highest IQs ever measured is as much a curse as it is a blessing. My parents were great, though: they were always seeking the most difficult presents possible for me \u2013 Rubik\u2019s cubes and things like that.\u201d\nHis Leaving Certificate results were by no means spectacular. \u201cI failed Irish in the Leaving. Yes, there were a few As in there, too, but with me I have this on/off switch. If I am interested in a subject I click that switch. If I\u2019m not interested I don\u2019t.\u201d\nInstead of having a paper-round job as he became a teenager, O\u2019Brien says, he was hired by Irish banks \u2013 which at that stage were just becoming computerised \u2013 to install software, train staff and troubleshoot technical problems. He frequently did these jobs during his school lunch break, he says, adding that he loved Irish banks\u2019 computers because they were of a quality he could never afford, so provided him with a rare training ground.\nO\u2019Brien is disarmingly honest about how, despite having a high IQ, he has a very low EQ, or emotional intelligence. \u201cThis is why I agreed to the show portraying my life. You look at TV now and you see shows such as Jersey Shore and The Kardashians. But, growing up, I loved shows such as MacGyver. When I read somewhere that the popularity of the show CSI led to so many school-leavers choosing \u2018unpopular\u2019 science degrees, I realised a TV show could make a difference. Scorpion is there as a drama about my life but also to reach out to those people going through what I went through growing up \u2013 feeling like a freak, an outsider, isolated.\n\u201cI may have this massive IQ, but I have no filter. My filter is broken. To explain: at work I will say to someone, \u2018Those jeans make you look fat.\u2019 I am learning why you should not say this to colleagues. I have no inner voice, as everyone else does, that tells me not to say to someone that their new jeans make them look fat \u2013 even if the jeans do make them look fat.\n\u201cIn my world there is a lot of Asperger\u2019s, autism and ADHD,\u201d he says, referring to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. \u201cI observe people to learn how to behave. Relationships are hard for me; dating is hard for me.\u201d\nSupernannies\nO\u2019Brien also runs a \u201cconcierge\u201d service. He tells an unverified story about a client who approached him. The man\u2019s daughter wanted to be a journalist; her first assignment was covering the Arab Spring in Libya. She was arrested, accused of being an activist and imprisoned. Her family went to Libya only to find out that there was no bail for anyone charged with activism and that the wait for a trial would last two years. \u201cSo he came to me with this information, and within 48 hours we had her home with her family.\u201d\nHow? \u201cOh, we just partnered with the largest private military group in the US, and together we did a forced extradition.\u201d\nWith Scorpion now having made him a minor celebrity in the US, O\u2019Brien is not fazed by the attention. After all, he says: \u201cIf it is so required there are people who will bring me to a safe place.\u201d\nWalter O Brien\nScorpion: How an Irish genius saved the world",

Apple and Microsoft have been contacted for comment.\nNew copies of the game can no longer be purchased from the set-top box\u2019s app store.\nApple fan Nathan Burlton tweeted a picture of the message from Minecraft when his 10-year-old son tried to load the game on his Apple TV at the weekend.\n\u201cHe doesn\u2019t play on it very often,\u201d he said.\n\u201cOccasionally when friends are around we would use it on the Apple TV with someone playing on the TV and a few others on iPads.

In fact, while the murders of the Charlie Hebdo cartoonists and their police protectors (one a Muslim) is an attack on free expression, the killers seemed more intent on punishing those who had insulted Muhammad than making a statement about press freedom \u2013 although it\u2019s hard to imagine in whose holy book their act would constitute \u201can eye for an eye.\u201d The result, when the civic squares have emptied and the symbolic pens put down, will be a greater public commitment to free speech and an increase in small acts of self-censorship.\nWith censorship, at least, you know who your enemy is, even if you feel powerless to fight it. For the press, censorship comes in many guises. The worst is that of governments, and almost the first act of any totalitarian regime is to shut down the independent media.

Kamala Harris listens to Christine Blasey Ford's testimony during the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington Sept. 27. | TOM WILLIAMS /POOL / VIA REUTERS\nEx-prosecutor Sen. Kamala Harris announces U.S. presidential run as Democrat field widens\nWASHINGTON - Sen. Kamala Harris announced Monday that she is seeking to become the first African-American woman to hold the office of U.S. president, joining an already-crowded field of Democrats lining up to take on Donald Trump.\n\u201cThe future of our country depends on you and millions of others lifting our voices to fight for our American values. That\u2019s why I\u2019m running for president of the United States,\u201d the senator from California said in a video posted on Twitter.\nHarris joins Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Hawaii Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand and former housing secretary Julian Castro, among others, either in the race or exploring a run for the 2020 Democratic nomination.\nHarris made the announcement on the national holiday honoring civil rights movement icon Martin Luther King Jr., whom she said her mother met.\n\u201cI\u2019m honored to be able to make my announcement on the day that we commemorate him,\u201d Harris told ABC\u2019s \u201cGood Morning America.\u201d\n\u201cMy parents were very active in the civil rights movement and that\u2019s the language that I grew up hearing. And it was about a belief that we are a country that was founded on noble ideals and we are the best of who we are when we fight to achieve those ideals,\u201d she said.\nHarris\u2019s calls for unity in her newly published memoir \u2014 \u201cThe Truths We Hold: An American Journey,\u201d from Penguin Press \u2014 clearly set the tone for what a Harris candidacy might mean in an America sorely divided by Trump\u2019s unsettling presidency.\nThen in January 2017, she took the oath of office as California\u2019s junior U.S. senator, making her the first woman of South Asian descent (her mother is a Tamil Indian) and only the second black woman senator in American history, after Carol Moseley Braun.\nHarris often proudly recalls that as a prosecutor she fought big banks during the 2008 financial crisis.\nShe casts herself as a champion of middle class families \u201cliving paycheck to paycheck\u201d and denounces police brutality and the killing of unarmed black men.\n\u201cMy mother was the strongest person I have ever known,\u201d she has written on Twitter.\nHarris mentions her father, Donald, as well, calling him \u201ca respected economist\u201d who is an emeritus professor at Stanford University.\nBut after her parents separated when she was about 5 years old, it was Kamala\u2019s mother who raised her and her younger sister, Maya, who went on to become a lawyer and an adviser to Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential campaign.\nHers was a happy childhood, Harris now says, where education was highly valued, and it inspired her to write her second new book, \u201cSuperheroes Are Everywhere,\u201d a children\u2019s picture book that was also published last week.\nBut Harris has also experienced discrimination.\n\u201cI have too many memories of my brilliant mother being treated as though she were dumb because of her accent,\u201d she wrote in her autobiography.\nAsked about that, she shared some tough words about Republican President Trump.\n\u201cThere are powerful forces \u2014 including this president \u2014 that are attempting to vilify immigrants because they were born in another country,\u201d she said recently on CNN.\nU.S. Senate, Democrats, Donald Trump, African-American, MLK, 2020 presidential election, kamala harris",

        "raw_content": "Health care in this country always seems to be in the news. I would like to share my viewpoint. Let me start by saying that there is no country where I would rather live. And I believe that we have the best medical treatment available for our citizens. The problem I see is that routine preventive health care is unaffordable for many families.\nFor many families the only type of health care that they can afford is a plan with a high deductible. This type of insurance is necessary for major injuries and life-threatening situations. But in the end it leads to a lack of preventive maintenance. With such high deductibles people are hesitant to go to a doctor for the routine care that might prevent major problems down the road. And, most high deductible plans provide no dental care at all.\nThis is like taking a car to a mechanic only when the engine seizes up or the transmission fails. What we should be doing is changing the oil and maintaining the air pressure in the tires. Under the current state of health care this is not possible for many. As a nation we are going to face much higher costs for medical and dental care as our population ages. I do not have the answers but I do know that something needs to change.",

        "raw_content": "Startup offers support for med school applicants\nBy SIRI TUMMALA | May 4, 2017\nWhile medical schools accept around 70 percent of Hopkins applicants each year, many students find the application process challenging. To address this problem, two Hopkins alumni and one current student created White Coat Strategists (WCS), a company that helps students prepare for medical school admissions.\nAfter being accepted into medical school themselves, founders Haziq Siddiqi, Lamin Sonko and Melaku Arega wanted to make the application process easier for other students.\nThey aimed to create an affordable consulting program that employs recent graduates who have personal experience with the application process.\nBeginnng May 5, WCS will charge $400 to $700 for services like personal statement editing and mock interviews. Its prices are lower than those of its competitors such as Kaplan, whose services start at $2099, and Princeton Review, which charges $1749.\nSiddiqi, Class of 2016 and incoming student at Harvard Medical School, explained why he started WCS.\n\u201cWhen I was applying, the only people that were willing to provide that service were charging really inaccessible amounts,\u201d Siddiqi said. \u201cOnce I got into medical school, I partnered up with Melaku and Lamin, who had a very similar experience.\u201d\nArega, a current senior who will be attending Harvard Medical School, said that while he appreciated the services provided by the Office of Pre-Professional Advising, he felt undersupported.\nHe explained that the office was too busy to offer individual attention to premed students and that he often had to seek advice from his peers.\n\u201cThat summer you need them the most for the primary and secondary applications, you can\u2019t really access them well,\u201d he said. \u201cYou end up being on your own a lot.\u201d\nSonko, Class of 2016 and an incoming student at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, felt he lacked\nguidance when applying to medical school. He emphasized the importance of being organized throughout the demanding application process.\n\u201cMy general experience, if I could put it into one word, would be \u2018chaotic,\u2019\u201d Sonko said. \u201cUpon working with some of the premeds we are working with now, I would say that\u2019s the general feel they get as well.\u201d\nAccording to Sonko, working with current undergraduates enables them to relate to each applicant individually and better understand the small intricacies and details of their application.\nIt is this personal service, he said, that sets WCS apart from other companies that assist with the application process.\n\u201cA lot of the bigger companies, like Kaplan and Princeton Review, as well as admissions counselors tend to be older and tend to be pretty distant from the actual medical school process itself,\u201d he said. \u201cWhite Coat Specialists differentiates itself because all of our counselors are fresh out of the process.\u201d\nIn an email to The News-Letter, Siddiqi explained that the founders intend on keeping the company running while they are in medical school and after they graduate.\n\u201cThe entire WCS team is very committed to this company, so we\u2019re willing to make as much time as needed during medical school,\u201d Siddiqi wrote.\nHe added that WCS is considering expanding its reach by hiring more consultants.\n\u201cWe\u2019re currently focusing on marketing to other universities and bringing in more consultants from outside [Hopkins] to meet the demand.\u201d\nKelli Johnson, director of the Pre-Professional Office, said in an email to The News-Letter that students should weigh the pros and cons of using medical school admission consulting companies.\n\u201cAlthough Pre-Professional Programs and Advising neither promotes nor discourages the use of private consultants, students who retain these services should be aware that the costs and quality can vary greatly,\u201d she wrote.\nJohnson also emphasized that advisors in the Pre-Professional Office have established connections with admissions deans at medical schools across the country and have exclusive access to resources through the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) and American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine (AACOMA).\nMereze Visagie, a junior preparing to take the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT), feels that she is well supported by the University\u2019s services.\n\u201cAs a premed student at Johns Hopkins, I feel extremely prepared to apply to medical school. I will be applying in cycles following graduation,\u201d she wrote in an email to The News-Letter. \u201cI do not plan on using an outside service because I think the resources Hopkins has are sufficient.\u201d\nSpecifically, Visagie noted that the Hopkins advisors take the time to provide individual help to students going through the application process.\n\u201cThey create a mock [American Medical College Application Service] application for us to complete before filling out the real one,\u201d she wrote. \u201cIt also helps them to know personal details about us for our committee letters. Also, the Writing Center is helpful for editing our personal statements.\u201d\nCharisma Burrows, a freshman and premed, also said that she was satisfied by the Office of Pre-Professional Advising.\n\u201cI feel like Hopkins has a lot of resources,\u201d she said. \u201cWhen you do your letter of recommendation, they make you fill out this big long list of everything you have done so that they are able to encompass who you are as a person and all your achievements.\u201d\nWhile freshman Kisha Patel, a premed student, believes that Hopkins offers adequate resources for applying to medical school. However, Patel also sees the benefit of talking to students who have had experience going through the application process.\n\u201cUnderstanding their stories will help me more directly because they have been in my footsteps just a few years ago,\u201d she said.",

Many friends believe that the circuit diagram is very little different from the harness diagram. Actually, the two are very various. The circuit diagram does not reflect the way the electrical components are connected to one another, and is not affected by the shape and size of the individual electrical components and also the distance between them, but merely represents a picture of the relationship between the actual electrical components. The harness diagram must look at the size and shape of the person electrical components and the range between them, as well as how the actual electrical components are connected to one another. Therefore, the arrangement of the wire harness ought to be drawn in advance under the guidance from the wire harness diagram. First of just about all, the technician of the wire harness manufacturing plant made the wire harness wire version based on the wire harness diagram. After confirming the actual correctness, the workers cut the wire based on the regulations of the cable dish. The main harness of the entire vehicle is generally divided into an engine harness, a device harness, an air conditioner funnel, an illumination harness, an additional electrical appliance, and the such as, and has a main harness along with a branch harness. The main vehicle harness is usually centered on the instrument solar panel and extends front and back. In addition, due to the spatial relationship or ease of setting up, some automotive wiring harnesses are split into roof wiring harnesses (doors, roof lights, audio speakers), front wiring harnesses (including yards, engines, front lighting assemblies, ac units, batteries), tail harnesses (tail lights) Set up, license plate lights, trunk lighting, etc. Each end of the harness is going to be marked with a number along with a letter to indicate the connection object from the wire. The operator sees how the mark can be properly attached to the corresponding wire and electric device, which is especially helpful when repairing or replacing the actual wire harness. A wide variety associated with car wiring harnesses are dazzling, and also the arrangement of the harness isn't a simple matter. Although you will find differences in the wiring harness arrangement of numerous electrical types of equipment of automobiles, all of them follow the general rules, the following: Single-wire system; two power sources (batteries and generators) about the vehicle are connected in parallel, and may supply power to the electric equipment separately. Each electrical equipment can also be connected in parallel, usually designed with safety devices and controlled through their respective switches.\nPrevious: Concepts For Upkeep Of Auto Air Conditioning Harness Techniques\nNext: Protecting Effect Of Wire Harness Circuits Upon Electrical Appliances\nhid relay wiring harness\nFactory Custom Wire Cable Assembly Vehicle Wiring For Automobile",

        "raw_content": "I live 181 miles from the Mexican border in Scottsdale, Arizona. As I watch the news I am disheartened by the total void of stories describing what\u2019s really happening on our southern border. You cannot be in Washington D.C., on the East coast or in the Midwest and even begin to understand the war which is raging in the Southwest if you only listen to the media reports. All media. The media is obsessed with politics because the American people have become obsessed with politics. But politics aside, America is at war. As much a war as we have ever experienced.\nSo, determined to tell the bigger story, two years ago I began to research, experience and document the devastation being wielded on this country and our children by cartels and drug traffickers who are raging war on the United States. A silent war for the most part but felt by nearly every American family one way or another. This is not a political opinion piece. It is a cry for awareness of a war that is utilizing chemical weaponry \u2014 every bit as lethal as the atrocities we see in Syria.\nIf you want to hear the truth, factual and unvarnished, read on. Because if you believe you are safe 2000 miles away in the Midwest or beyond, think again. Arizona is a major entry point for a sophisticated network known as the Sinaloa Cartel, among others, due to its many miles of rugged terrain bordering Mexico. And the cartels have tentacles reaching directly into Ohio, Northern Kentucky, and Indiana where I grew up, so thus the focus of my research. But make no mistake, those deadly fingers extend into the entire country. You will be frightened to read what I found, especially if you have children or grandchildren. As one border agent stated, \u201cThe American public would have a heart attack if they actually knew what happens here every day\u201d.\n4:30 PM Monday, May 13, 2018\nForty miles east of Nogales, Mexico two pickup trucks and a box truck are given an all-clear from a mile away over the crackle of a radio, as they approach the shabby fence humbly defining the U.S. Mexico border. The two pickups were stolen in the United States and bear new U.S. license plates. The box truck, specially designed with a ramp on the back and the front, backs up to the fence. The driver of one pickup uses the radio to call out codes written on a laminated card hanging around his neck. Out of the brush on the U.S. side appear three men. The rear ramp on the truck is lowered over the fence as the front ramp settles down to the ground over the hood. The two pickups drive over the \u201cramp\u201d without ever touching the fence or setting off any alarms. The original drivers scurry back over the ramps and the box truck folds up and disappears. Multiple firearms and 63 pounds of heroin head onto Highway 80 connecting to I-10 and arrive in Tucson two hours later. The street value of the heroin: $3,143,000.\nFACTS: Smugglers breech the U.S. border wall by cutting holes for humans and trucks, fabricating makeshift \u201cbridges\u201d and catapults, flying ultralight aircraft, digging tunnels or just walking across the Rio Grande.\nMexico is the predominant source of heroin in the United States.\nLaws allowing marijuana to be legally grown in states like Colorado, Washington and California have caused shifts in the Mexican underworld as the cartels move away from its former cash cow of marijuana to traffic more heroin and methamphetamines. Unintended consequences.\nHeroin, known as Black Tar, Horse, Puppy Chow on the streets, is worth $110 to $200 per gram, sold mostly in 0.1-gram bags for $15 to $20.\n7 PM Gas station in Tucson, Arizona\nThe pickup truck with heroin pulls up to the restroom and drops two backpacks loaded with heroin and drives away to its next drop off. A man sitting in the parking lot picks up the packages and heads to Phoenix, two hours north, and a home in suburban Glendale. There he receives payment from a \u201csubcontractor\u201d who carefully repackages the product into smaller amounts and conceals the individual bags into operational car batteries.\n8 AM Tuesday, Phoenix, Arizona\nFive car batteries are shipped by UPS to a farmhouse in Ohio . . . 50 minutes north of Cincinnati, where the Mexican Sinaloa cartel has established a regional distribution center. At 7PM Thursday the batteries arrive in Oxford, Ohio and are installed into five vehicles; one heading to Cleveland, one to Akron, one to Indianapolis, another to Covington, KY and the final to Cincinnati.\nFACTS: Product is moved through the United States mainly by trucks using the \u201cbloodstream of America\u201d, (phrase coined by cartels) which is the interstate highway system. Also, commonly used is UPS, Fed-X and the U.S. Postal System.\nThe cartels have developed a sophisticated infrastructure of distribution centers and marketing networks all over the nation that support more than $20 billion a year in drug cash back to Mexico.\n8 PM Friday, Cleveland, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Covington, KY and Akron, Ohio\nLocal \u201cpushers\u201d are connected to regional distribution middlemen in fast food restaurants, quick marts, movie theaters, sports venues, etc., and thousands of 0.1 gram bags of heroin are sold to mostly kids and young adults on the streets. 35 will die in the United States before 2 AM Saturday due to a heroin overdose.\nFACTS: Cleveland, Ohio, May 10, 2018: After a three-year investigation known as Operation Loaded Deck, the DEA seized 29 kilos of cocaine, 8 kilos of heroin, 1 kilo of fentanyl, hundreds of guns and $350,000 in cash from a distribution center (stash house) in Maple Heights. The cartel ring leaders who operated the location regularly attended the Cavaliers basketball games, sitting courtside. As one official put it, \u201cPoppy plants don\u2019t grow in Parma. The millions in drug products come directly from Mexico.\u201d\nAkron, Ohio, April 3, 2018: 20 packages of heroin, shaped like bricks were discovered during a routine traffic stop on Route 8, along with five loaded guns, by a K9 dog who happened to be with the patrol car.\nNorthern Kentucky, February 2018: St. Elizabeth Hospitals announced an alarming rise in heroin overdoses, which prompted the system to develop a new position \u2014 an addiction care coordinator. The hospital system reported 765 cases of emergency room visits due to opioid-related issues.\nCincinnati, Ohio, February 2018: 300 grams of heroin and multiple guns were seized by the DEA and Ohio State Highway Patrol from a farmhouse in Oxford, Ohio, north of Cincinnati. This location was set up to be the center of the Sinaloa Cartel heroin-trafficking ring, operating in the Ohio/Kentucky/Indiana markets. Related money transfer receipts to Mexico were found in a house in Fairfield.\nIndianapolis, Indiana: Read the story. https://hoosierecon.com/2017/10/29/dea-report-mexican-drug-cartels-big-threat-to-indiana/\nHeroin overdose more than quadrupled between 2010 and 2015, accounting for 12,989 American deaths in 2015, noting the highest percentage being in the Northeast and Midwest.\n948,000 Americans reported using heroin in 2016 and 28.6 million Americans age 12+ \u201creported\u201d using an illicit drug at least once per month. 68% were between the ages of 12 and 25.\nI decided to finish this expos\u00e9 this week as a result of all the media attention on the families with children story, which I believe is currently being politically motivated and exploited by people who just aren\u2019t properly informed or are pushing another agenda. Those same detention centers have been there a long time. The border agents are decent people with a very hard job and are overwhelmed, horribly overwhelmed, by what\u2019s happening in South America and Mexico. They honestly are doing the best anyone can do.\nIt is a mess on so many levels and has been for many years. I welcome anyone to visit the second floor of the Federal Building on West Congress Street in Tucson on any given weekday and watch as dozens of illegals parade into the courtroom all day long, in groups of seven, and stand aside the federal prosecutor who begins a daily routine of back and forth with the judge as her desk piles higher and higher with each file.\nWhen America decides to focus on this very real and deadly issue of drug traffic coming across the Mexican border, which is infecting our very lives everyday all over the country, maybe we can all come together for the good of every human being caught in this hideous web of corruption that has been allowed to permeate our southern boundary.\nWe don\u2019t just need a wall . . . we need an army. Come see for yourself.\nUS Department of Justice DEA Oct 2015/2017\nNational Institute on Drug Abuse.gov\nNews 5 Cleveland\nUSA Today Feb 2018\nUS Office of Drug Control Policy 2016",

Or felt like you were \"caught up,\" whatever that means? When did you put something into one more pile and tell yourself that you'll take care of it later?\nUnfortunately for many of us, later never comes. And when we look around us, we feel overwhelmed, or like we're a loser, or that we're lazy because (we tell ourselves) anyone could clean this mess up.\nThe truth of the matter is that we all have so many things to do to just stay current that the idea of cleaning, filing, even thinking, gets to be overwhelming. Somehow asking for help, or even thinking that we deserve to get it is too much.\nI know someone in this exact situation. He has a home office that he didn't work in. As a matter of fact, when he told me that he wouldn't even let his housekeeper in to dump the garbage, I told him I was coming over to help.\nWhen I walked into his apartment he showed me all the storage space he had, which was plentiful. He showed me every room and each one was clutter free and clean. Finally he opened the door to the home office.\nI could tell he was a little nervous about this. Maybe he thought I'd judge him (perhaps because he was judging himself), but we just got to work.\nIt's an intuitive job. I look around, feel around and decide where the best place is to start. I always like to begin with the person. Before we began on the room, I asked him where his favorite place in his apartment was. He chose a leather chair in the living room. I asked him to sit, close his eyes, and imagine how he wanted to feel when he was in his home office. I had him feel into that and when he did, we began.\nWe had fun as we worked together to clear up the chaos and create some space for him. Little by little things were put away, filed, thrown out, moved to his car to be taken to work and organized in his office. We came up with ideas for him to continue on this path in an easy way.\nIn a little over 2 hours, we were done with this part of the process. Both of us were very pleased with what we had accomplished.\nOf course, the proof is in the pudding. Would he be able to keep it orderly? Well, he called me on the following Monday and told me proudly that he had worked in his home office all day. He said that something I had said to him stuck in his head. I told him that next time he was getting ready to put something on the floor to stop and think about it. And that's exactly what happened. He was going to do that, heard my voice and filed those papers instead! I think today he's a happy man.\nAfter organizing\nJuly 30, 2010 / kathy/ Comment",

        "title": "Exploring the Ancient City of Polonnaruwa by bicycle | Kat is Travelling",
        "raw_content": "Visiting the Ancient City of Polonnaruwa was high on my list of anticipated activities for our Sri Lanka trip, however the fact that we were advised we would be cycling around them was somewhat of a concern. When you think of Sri Lanka, bicycles are not exactly the first method of transport to spring to mind, and the thought of potentially navigating a road occupied by tuk-tuk drivers and other cars in a place where road safety is really not a big concern was somewhat alarming!\nHowever I\u2019m pleased to report that our fears were misguided and everyone else is right\u2026 the best way to see the ruins of Polonnaruwa really is the rent a bicycle and go for a leisurely cycle around them!\nWhy you should visit Polonnaruwa\nPolonnaruwa is one of the key places to visit in Sri Lanka\u2019s cultural triangle, the other two being Anuradhapura and Kandy, so if you\u2019re into seeing more than wildlife and beaches on your Sri Lankan trip then you should definitely try to squeeze this into your itinerary, especially as it will give you an idea of some of the ancient history of Sinhalese culture.\nThe Ancient City of Polonnaruwa is unlike anything else we saw in Sri Lanka and it is unusual to be able to see some many different types of ruins within such a close proximity. Most of them are also incredibly well preserved considering how old they are (built in the 12th century) with some only really having lost their roofs!\nOne element I particularly appreciated was being able to compare these ruins to the sites we saw later on our trip. Polonnaruwa was the second capital of Sri Lanka and home to Sri Lankan royalty and the Sacred Tooth Relic (more on that later!), which is now housed in the Sacred Tooth Temple in Kandy. We were able to see the ruins of the Tooth Relic temple in Polonnaruwa and then see the current Tooth Temple in Kandy and directly compare the two.\nBicycles\u2026 the best way to get around\nWhile the ruins are all in a confined area it would take a little while to walk between them but it is probably not far enough to be necessary to hire a tuk-tuk. Bicycles give you a happy medium and are the most popular way to traverse the area, which means you\u2019ll find lots of other people doing the same!\nThe area you\u2019ll be exploring is a large green park-like space with wide pavement paths so while you will get the occasional car or coach full of tourists overtake you, it\u2019s not anything like driving on Sri Lankan roads and we always felt perfectly safe! The biggest hazard is probably other cyclists, but even then there aren\u2019t that many. Whilst it is popular, compared to some other attractions in Sri Lanka we found Polonnaruwa to be relatively quiet. The area is undoubtedly up-and-coming and there is a visible effort to bring in more tourists but at the time we visited (which was the height of tourist season) there were surprisingly more Sri Lankan schoolchildren than tourists.\nBuying tickets and renting bikes\nTickets for entry to the site of the ruins are purchased from the ticket office at the Polonnaruwa Archeological Museum nearby. I believe they are around $25.00 (USD) and you also get entrance to the museum, which is worth a look around to give you an idea of what you are about to see. You should also get a map of the ruins site (ask for it if not offered as I have read sometimes it is kept under the desk).\nYou will find multiple places to rent bicycles outside the entrance to the ruins site. Some people rent them at the museum and cycle down to the park entrance but that does involve a (perhaps perilous?) 3 minute cycle down an actual Sri Lankan road! Alternatively there are some places to hire at the gates which only involve you crossing the road with the bike and then you\u2019re in the park\u2026 a much safer bet! Don\u2019t forget you can pretty much haggle for anything in Sri Lanka so don\u2019t take the first price you\u2019re given by the guys in charge of the rentals.\nIf you\u2019ve been in Sri Lanka for any period of time before your visit to Polonnaruwa you\u2019ll probably have already encountered their cheeky inhabitants. It is also something you will be warned about many times by Sri Lankan people. While some people seem to have perfectly okay encounters with the monkeys it is best to be wary of them as they can be aggressive or mischievous to the point of inconvenience (ever had a monkey run up a tree with your passport? It happens!)\nA little guide to different monkeys you might see around Polonnaruwa to help you navigate your way with them\u2026 we were told that the red-faced monkeys (Toque Macaques) were the more aggressive of the species and should definitely be avoided, whereas the Grey Langurs are more docile. After some googling I cannot find any evidence of this so maybe it was based on personal experience? Either way, I was less worried about getting close to the langurs and they certainly seemed more serene!\nWear shoes that are easy to remove\nI made a bit of a mistake here but because I knew we were going cycling I decided it was best to wear trainers/runners on the day we did this trip. I soon discovered this was a silly move as they probably take the longest amount of time to put on and off of all shoes!\nEven though the Ancient City of Polonnaruwa is made up on ruins this is still a holy site and thus treated as any other Buddhist temple would be. You have to remove your shoes before entering many of the ruins, and so you\u2019ll be doing this a lot (there are signs to signify when it is necessary). In contrast the cycling is not hard so you don\u2019t need really sturdy shoes, most people wear sandals.\nPhotography dos and don\u2019ts\nIt can be a bit hard to know the etiquette for taking photographs in holy places such as this. We were lucky to have a guide to ensure we didn\u2019t make any faux-pas. I personally always air on the side of caution when I\u2019m not sure so it was great for us to have someone to tell me it was okay to take a photo or I would\u2019ve come back with a lot less than I have! A couple of tips that should get you through most places\u2026\nWhile you can take photos of most of the Buddha statues you should not have your photo taken where you are standing with your back towards the statue as it is considered disrespectful.\nThe exception to the rule above is the Buddha that sits in the Tooth Relic ruins which you are not supposed to take any photos of.\nTake plenty of sun protection\nOne thing to be aware of it that although the ruins are in a large park area there is little to no shade or sun protection in the areas where you are walking or cycling around. I would say that taking a hat is absolutely essential as you\u2019re likely to be exposed to the sun without respite for a good few hours. Also take the usual Sri Lanka staple supplies\u2026 water and suncream.\nIf at all possible then avoid going in the height of the midday heat. Due to the way our itinerary worked we ended up having to do certain activities in the hottest parts of the day (this being one) and were fine because we took the above precautions but obviously the ideal situation would have been to do it earlier or later.\nLet me know in the comments if you have visited Polonnaruwa and what you thought or any other ancient sites that you think I might like around the world. At the moment I am desperate to explore the Acropolis of Athens! Thanks for reading and I\u2019ll be back to share more from Sri Lanka soon!

        "raw_content": "Why does your pet need a semi-annual examination?\nAll Exam Semi Annual\nYour pet seems fine. He is eating and drinking and playing as usual. Nothing has changed. So why did your veterinarian recommend an examination every 6 months, instead of once a year? And why is blood work needed?\nMost pets do a good job of staying healthy with minimal intervention so long as they are provided quality nutrition, a safe environment, and a lot of love and affection. With young patients who are not on chronic medications, an annual veterinary examination may be all that is required to ensure that everything is as it seems at home. However, there are some exceptions that make it advisable, or even necessary, to bring your pet in more often.\nIn general, dogs over 8 years of age, and cats 10 years and older, are considered \u201csenior\u201d. This can vary by breed and life expectancy, so it may be different for your pet. As animals age, changes can occur that are not detectable at home. By examining these pets more often, your veterinarian may be able to pick up on subtle changes that occur over time. This older population of patients is at risk of chronic, slowly progressive diseases such as heart disease, thyroid hormone imbalance, kidney dysfunction, diabetes, and even cancer. Through systematic evaluation with a physical examination and lab work, many of these diseases can be discovered in the early stages, when treatment is most successful. Recently, one of our doctors saw a dog for its routine semi-annual visit and uncovered thyroid cancer that was completely curable in its early stages.\nIn addition to senior dogs and cats, any pet that is receiving chronic medications needs an examination every 6 months. Of course, this depends on what medicine is being given. Some drugs have the potential to cause serious side effects, but the benefit from the medicine far outweighs the potential risk. Some examples are anti-seizure drugs, heart medications, diabetes treatments and anti-inflammatory agents. If your veterinarian has prescribed a medication that requires routine lab work every 6 months, there is a reason for it. It is imperative that the directions be followed in administering the medication, as well as complying with the follow-up recommendations. Sometimes the dose of medicine will need to be adjusted over time as the body acclimates to it. Other times, the manufacturer of the drug has established guidelines for safety. For example, a patient at our hospital recently had to change medication because after being on a drug for urinary incontinence for quite awhile, it began to affect her blood pressure.\nIn all cases, your veterinarian will let you know what her recommendation is for your specific pet\u2019s needs. Please keep in mind that we all have your animals well-being in mind and are doing our very best to keep our patients living long and healthy lives.",

        "raw_content": "Op-Ed: To make college affordable increase state funding\nOp-Ed: To make college affordable increase state funding To Make College Affordable Increase State Funding Check out this story on lancastereaglegazette.com: https://www.lancastereaglegazette.com/story/opinion/2019/01/19/make-college-affordable-increase-state-funding/2605386002/\nMark Nevin, OU-L, Associate Professor of History Published 5:03 a.m. ET Jan. 19, 2019\nThe inauguration of Mike DeWine as Ohio Governor offers the opportunity for the state to chart a new course in the area of higher education. Former governor John Kasich made the laudable goal of affordability his top priority. But his approach focused almost exclusively on cutting costs.\nHe championed College Credit Plus to enable high school students to earn low-cost college credits; he expanded the opportunities for community colleges to offer four-year degrees; he urged colleges and universities to offer tuition guarantees to their students; and he imposed tuition freezes. While these measures may have helped some Ohioans afford college, higher education will continue to remain out of reach for many unless Governor DeWine and other state leaders make much needed investments in higher education.\nA sobering new report by Innovation Ohio, a policy think tank located in Columbus, details the chronic lack of state funding for higher education. The report, entitled \u201cThe Heart of it All: How Ohio\u2019s Lagging Investment in Post-Secondary Education and Training Must Be Reversed For Its People to Prosper in Today\u2019s Economy,\u201d finds that Ohio\u2019s investment in higher education as a percentage of the state budget has declined 25 percent over the last three decades from 14 percent in 1999 to 10 percent in 2019. This precipitous drop in state funding, coupled with cuts to need-based financial aid, has left Ohio 45th out of 50 states in college affordability.\nLast year, Ohio had the ninth lowest per student financial commitment to higher education in the nation\u2014nearly $2,100 less than the national average. As a result, Ohio students have had to take on more debt to pay for college. 69 percent of Ohio graduates, the 6th highest share in the nation, hold debt and those students carry the nation\u2019s 9th highest average debt load at $29,000.\nWhile increasing the debt burden of students, the prolonged lack of state spending on higher education has also limited access to college. Between 2011 and 2017 enrollment in higher education in Ohio dropped 17 percent, the largest drop in the country. Today, fewer Ohio adults age 25-64 have at least an associate\u2019s degree or a high-quality workforce credential compared with the rest of the nation. The numbers are even more alarming for minorities. In Ohio, 26 percent of African Americans and 27 percent of Hispanics have at least an associate\u2019s degree or high quality workforce credential compared to 40 percent of whites.\nThe lack of access to higher education in Ohio has not only hurt prospective students, it has harmed whole communities. Since the onset of the Great Recession in 2008, a \u201cgreat divide\u201d has grown in Ohio\u2014 and elsewhere around the nation\u2014between wealthier, better educated communities, which have bounced back and are thriving, and poorer, less educated communities, which have not recovered and have fallen farther behind. The decline in college enrollment and completion in Ohio, as reported by Innovation Ohio, maps this divide, with poorer rural and urban areas in the state registering the largest drops in college attendance in recent years. Making college affordable to low income Ohioans would help shrink the \u201cgreat divide\u201d that has left so many Ohio communities behind.\nBut to make college truly affordable in Ohio state leaders need to reverse the thirty-year decline in higher-education funding and make additional investments in the state\u2019s higher education system. The prospects for a change of course may appear dim. During his campaign, Governor DeWine stressed many of the same cost-cutting measures as his predecessor. He did, however, acknowledge that state aid for lower-income students had declined over the years and offered a proposal to increase it. This is an encouraging sign. Perhaps the new governor will learn that there is an even more urgent need to increase overall state funding for higher education. The Innovation Ohio report would be a good place for him to start his education.\nMark Nevin, Associate Professor of History-Ohio University Lancaster\nRead or Share this story: https://www.lancastereaglegazette.com/story/opinion/2019/01/19/make-college-affordable-increase-state-funding/2605386002/",

        "raw_content": "Sunday 1 March was supposed to be a day of celebration for us, we were supposed to be going to The Hubs brothers for afternoon tea to celebrate our niece's18th, it didn't quite turn out that way. The Hubs worked in the morning for about 4 hours and came home high spirited but did mention that something 'funny' happened to him just as he was about to leave work, he felt pins and needles from his hip up to his head and down his arm, no pain just intense pins and needles, he drove home but on the journey he tried to put down the electric widows and found he was unable to as his arm by that time was completely numb. At the time he was describing all this to me (about 1 hour - 1 hour 15 mins later) he described his arm as now feeling like he had a 'dead-arm' and kept trying to shake it to get the blood flowing. Within half an hour he tried to talk to me and couldn't, after a couple of attempts I could see from his eyes something was very wrong, I gave him a pen and paper but he couldn't write down what he wanted to communicate either. I called 999 a little unsure if I was over-reacting ad wondering if it was the correct thing to do, I was assured by the operator that it was.\nAs I suspected, I was advised that it sounded as though he had had a stroke.\nI'll spare you the full story but it transpires that he had in fact had a T.I.A. - a mini-stroke. He's 44, goes to the gym 3 times a week, plays football twice a week, does not smoke and has a BMI of 25.9. He does like a beer, has a moderate level of stress and only slightly over indulges in food. We simply didn't see this coming!\nLuckily for him, his speech returned within 4 hours and the numbness disappeared within 24, so physically thankfully he's back to 'normal'.\nThe hospital stressed many times that it's so important to get stroke victims into hospital straight away, The Hubs has had a CT scan, MRI scan, ultrasounds, ECG and cardiogram all coming back as clear, the fact is it can happen to anyone, any age, any gender and any fitness with no apparent reason.\nMy dad had a stroke 3 years ago so I knew some of the signs but if you are in any doubt, here's a link to The Stroke Org as it's something we all need to be aware of.\nI have been mulling over whether to write this post all week, but as this is something which one way or another is going to be life changing for us, I thought it only fair to tell you as I'm sure you will notice slight changes on my social media. Although at the moment, we're not quite clear of the impact on our lives or what changes will have to be made to prevent a repeat or more serious stroke. Although we are expecting less alcohol, more relaxation, less stress and a healthier lifestyle in general ;)\nIt's quite a positive outcome for us but others are not so lucky. Almost a week later I'm feeling very relieved right now.\nLouise B 7 March 2015 at 23:34\nOh my what a week! lucky that you knew the signs and didn't ignore it. I think these type of things are a reminder to step back and enjoy life while we can.xx\nDefinitely Louise! I was just a warning this time luckily, but quite a shock. x\nThe Reading Residence 8 March 2015 at 19:29\nOh my goodness, how scary, and yes, life-changing for you all. I'm so relieved to hear that it is quite a positive outcome, though I can imagine still very upsetting and uppermost in your minds all the time now, too. I hope your husband gets the support and advice he needs x Thanks for sharing with #WotW and sending love your way\nThanks Jocelyn, we are getting there now I think, although it is a bit daunting at the moment.\nAwww what a scary event! I had an idea of what it is with the first few sentences. I think its nice to share this so that people will be aware of the signs. I am so glad he is okay. Sending you hugs!\nThanks Pixiedusk x\nI wasn't sure if it woudl sound 'preachy' but I'm hoping it doesn't come across that way.",

        "title": "Tesla rushes Model 3s to China before trade war truce expires - Los Angeles Times",
        "raw_content": "By Dana Hull\nThe construction site of Tesla's Shanghai factory during a ground-breaking ceremony. (AFP/Getty Images)\nAt least three ships roughly the length of two football fields are scheduled to arrive at ports in China by the end of this month, each carrying precious cargo from Tesla CEO Elon Musk.\nTesla Inc. is loading as many Model 3 sedans as it can onto vessels destined for the People\u2019s Republic ahead of March 1, when a trade war truce between presidents Trump and Xi Jinping is scheduled to expire. Musk fears the two countries could ratchet tariffs back up, which would make Tesla\u2019s electric cars more expensive in China and boost costs of key components the country sends to its U.S. assembly plant.\nOther carmakers are at risk of seeing expenses rise again if the Trump-versus-Xi dispute flares back up. But Musk is in perhaps the most precarious position in the industry. Global giants such as BMW and Daimler can wiggle around the tariffs to an extent by boosting production at existing China factories, but Tesla\u2019s manufacturing presence there was merely a muddy field as of last month. It won\u2019t be assembling any vehicles in China until the end of 2019 at the earliest.\n\u201cThey\u2019re uniquely exposed,\u201d said Robin Zhu, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein.\nMusk, 47, said getting cars to China before a potential increase in tariffs was a key priority when Tesla reported a smaller-than-expected profit Jan. 30. Higher duties would combine with already elevated transport and labor costs to make the company\u2019s vehicles much pricier than competitors\u2019. Plus, imported electric cars aren\u2019t eligible for local tax credits.\nMusk has a case to make that Tesla punches above its weight on trade. Although researcher Autodata Corp. estimates that the carmaker\u2019s U.S. market share was only about 0.7% last year, U.S. Census Bureau data suggest the company may account for almost 16% of vehicle exports by value.\nIn 2017, California shipped $1.37 billion worth of electric vehicles to China, according to the bureau\u2019s foreign-trade statistics. Through October 2018, the figure was $936 million. Virtually all of those cars were Teslas.\nTrump and Xi agreed to a 90-day detente in December. The U.S. said it would delay a planned tariff rate increase \u2014 to 25% from 10% \u2014 on almost half the goods it buys from China, worth some $200 billion. Although officials have been negotiating since then, Trump has said he and Xi won\u2019t meet again before March 1.\nOn Tuesday, Trump said he\u2019s open to extending the deadline if the two sides are near an agreement. China has said its suspension of an additional 25% tariff on U.S. autos and parts will apply through the end of March. For months before the truce, China had slapped American-built cars with 40% levies.\nThe vessel Glovis Symphony docked at the port of Tianjin early this week and was due to arrive in Shanghai on Wednesday. Two more carriers, Morning Cindy and Emerald Ace, are at sea and scheduled to reach China\u2019s shores on Feb. 19 and 24, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Other ships being loaded at Pier 80 are headed to Europe.\nThe Model 3 is the linchpin of Tesla\u2019s effort to appeal to a wider global audience, with Musk promising for years that a version eventually will be available for $35,000 before incentives. That\u2019s generally in line with the average selling price of a vehicle in the U.S.\nBut following through on that vow has bedeviled Musk. The cheapest version available now \u2014 almost three years since he first showed a concept of the car \u2014 is $42,900. In Europe, where deliveries are just getting underway, prices vary by country, with customers in Belgium paying a base price of 58,800 euros ($66,600), compared with 55,400 euros in Germany and 53,500 euros in France.\nIn China, the Model 3 starts at 433,000 yuan ($63,900). Some of the bestselling electric cars in the market \u2014 the world\u2019s biggest for battery-powered vehicles \u2014 can be had for less than a sixth of that price. Beijing Electric Vehicle Co.\u2019s EC Series and Chery Automobile Co.'s eQ are listed at 65,800 yuan after subsidies.\nThe U.S.-China trade war risks making the Model 3 costlier worldwide. In addition to the possibility that Xi\u2019s administration could reimpose higher tariffs on American autos, Trump\u2019s levies could make it more expensive for Tesla to source key parts.\nTesla asked the Trump administration for a tariff exemption on the Model 3\u2019s computer, which is made in China and essentially acts as the brain of the car, overseeing everything from the touch-screen display to the advanced driver-assistance system known as Autopilot.\nThe U.S. trade representative\u2019s office has been reviewing whether the product is available only from China and whether higher tariffs would severely hurt the company or U.S. interests. Tesla argued as much in its request, filed in August.\nIf the trade war escalates further, Tesla could shift part of its supply chain to other countries in Asia, or to Mexico, where it already has several established suppliers. The company also is working closely with government officials in Shanghai to build a vehicle and battery factory. Musk said he expects to make several trips to China this year.",

        "raw_content": "When I was diagnosed with Melanoma cancer, I did not know anything about this kind of cancer. However, I found out that Melanoma Cancer is not just skin cancer. It is one of the most deadly forms of cancer because it can spread to lymph nodes, distant organs and brain.\nMy melanoma cancer journey started in August 2005 when I was diagnosed with Stage 1 melanoma from a mole on my left foot. I had my first surgery to remove the mole and all surrounding tissue that could have cancer cells. I could not believe this could be happening to me. But why not me? In 2015, it is expected that approximately 74,000 Americans will be diagnosed with melanoma, resulting in nearly 10,000 deaths.\nFor many years, I prayed that the cancer would not return. Unfortunately, in February 2009, I felt a \u201cpea\u201d size bump under my skin on my left thigh. It was confirmed that the bump under my skin was melanoma. The melanoma cancers cells had spread and traveled from my left foot to my left thigh, which made me Stage III.\nI was devastated that the cancer came back. I was told by my Oncologist that it was highly likely that I would have more cancerous tumors show up because all the cancer cells were probably not removed during surgery from my foot. My Oncologist was right. Again in May 2010 and then June 2011, I had more surgery to remove more tumors in my leg.\nHowever, while having surgery in June 2011, my surgeon cut through a cancerous tumor by mistake and \u201cbillions\u201d of cancer cells spread through my blood stream. Needless to say, once again I was devastated because my Oncologist told me that there was high probability that cancer cells would spread throughout my body causing the cancer to go to my internal organs and even my brain.\nMy Oncologist was right. Within months, in September 2011, I was diagnosed with Stage 4 melanoma because cancer had spread to both of my lungs, throughout my leg, and my chest. My prognosis was not good and I was put on chemotherapy. Traditional chemotherapy and radiation is not very effective at killing melanoma cells so I continued to progress. Since my condition worsened very quickly, I was given months to live. My doctor strongly suggested that I try an experimental drug in a clinical trial because traditional treatments were not working for me.\nHowever, the cost associated with participating in the clinical trial would be very expensive for us. My husband is my only caregiver and he had to stop working to care for me. With no income and my medical bills mounting, we had no idea how we could afford to participate in the clinical trial. Needless to say, my condition was dire and the clinical trial drug might be my only hope and a second chance at life. We started the clinical trial but because of the financial burden on us, our savings dwindled. If we could not get financial help to continue the clinical trial, we did not know what we were going to do. Then, Lazarex Cancer Foundation literally saved my life by giving us financial assistance to be able to continue with the clinical trial. I am extremely grateful to the Lazarex team, including each volunteer and each donor.\nFinding Lazarex\nMy husband and I searched on the internet for any cancer service organizations that helped cancer patients. Lazarex stood out from the other organizations because Lazarex's mission is helping cancer patients participate in clinical trials. Lazarex was a perfect match for me because Lazarex understood the importance of clinical trials and how clinical trial drugs can save lives. Since traditional treatments did not work for me, my only hope at this point was an experimental drug with a clinical trial. Lazarex made it possible for me to continue on with the clinical trial, receiving the drug that would save my life.\nWhen I first called Lazarex, I was feeling nervous and overwhelmed to try to explain my situation to a complete stranger. I spoke to Tami Keeler, Patient Service Manager. Tami was very friendly and helpful. She was extremely kind and empathetic to my situation. I could tell this was just not a job to Tami. Tami genuinely cared about me as a person. When Tami told me that Lazarex could help me, I was overjoyed. Knowing I did not have to worry about some of the financial burden with the clinical trial was a huge relief on my mind and body. With one less thing to worry about, now I can focus on fighting my cancer. The day I called Lazarex was the day that changed my life forever!",

        "raw_content": "Jay Em, Wyoming \u2013 Barely Holding On\nGoshen County, Wyoming by Carol Highsmith\nJay Em, Wyoming began along a watering hole on the old Texas Trail that ran north-south through Goshen County. The land around the townsite was originally claimed by James Moore, a former Pony Express rider and rancher in the 1860s. By 1869, Moore had the second largest cattle ranch in Wyoming Territory, under the brand \u201cJ Rolling M\u201d. A small stream was on his land was named Jay Em Creek. Moore died in 1873, but his brand continued to live on.\nOn February 13, 1899, a post office was established on Jay Em Creek a short distance from the future site of the present town of Jay Em. The postmaster was William \u201cUncle Jack\u201d Hargraves, and the post office went by the name of Hargraves. Uncle Jack was an unconventional person with decided opinions of his own.\nThe story goes that there came a time when the U.S. Postal Inspector called on Uncle Jack and their opinions clashed strongly. Whereupon Uncle Jack informed the inspector that he could pack up his post office and get out; which is exactly what the gentleman did. Since the materials and supplies pertaining to the post office were all contained in a large wooden box, packing up and getting out was not a very difficult task. This left the ranchers and settlers with no post office nearer than Rawhide Buttes Station or Fort Laramie for the next ten years.\nCarrying the mail by John Charles Dollman\nIn 1905, Silas Harris and his three sons, Art, Lake, and Frank, from Wisconsin, took over the Jay Em Cattle Company. Three years later, in 1908 Silas Harris sent a request to Washington D.C. to have a post office established in the area again. They replied that if the family would bring the mail from the Rawhide Buttes Station to Jay Em Ranch, free of charge, every other day for 90 days, the post office would be established. Silas\u2019 son, Lake Harris, made the 20-mile round trip for the three months it was required.\nUpon receiving approval for the post office, the equipment was set up in a bunkhouse at the ranch. On February 10, 1909, Elizabeth Thornton, a friend of the Harris family, was appointed postmistress. In addition to the post office, the Harris family maintained a small general store on the Jay Em Ranch. The \u201cSilas Harris Company Store\u201d sold general merchandise to area farmers and ranchers, provided rudimentary banking services, bought farm produce, and became a gathering place for homesteaders and cowboys alike.\nIn 1912, 21-year-old Lake C. Harris, filed for land under the Homestead Act on an empty stretch of prairie along Rawhide Creek. He first built his own house and then operated a feed store in the ranch bunkhouse, which soon became a general store. When he was appointed postmaster in 1914, the post office was moved to his store.\nIn addition to homesteading, Harris immediately began to establish a town to support area ranchers. He called the new townsite Jay Em, after Jim Moore\u2019s J M Ranch.\nA weekly newspaper called the Jay Em Sentinel and Fort Laramie News ran from 1917 to 1921. The Harris general store was moved from the ranch to the new townsite in 1918. Other businesses were also established, including a lumber yard and a blacksmith shop.\nJay Em, Wyoming Bank courtesy of Mapio\nThe Farmer\u2019s State Bank opened in 1920 and Shoults Garage opened in 1925.\nThrough the 1920s and 1930s the town became a regional center for commerce in northern Goshen County. Afterward, however, it began to decline as the automobile made it easier for local residents to travel to larger towns like Lusk, Lingle, and Torrington.\nIn 1931, Lake Harris was once again appointed postmaster, a position he held until 1959, when he retired.\nIn 1935, Lake Harris established the Jay Em Stone Company, making tombstones and building products from stone quarried around the Rawhide Buttes.\nThe Farmer\u2019s State Bank sold out in 1945 and Shoults Garage closed the same year. However, the next year, the garage would reopen as \u201cWolfes Repair,\u201d business that lasted until 1960.\nJay Em General Store, John Vachon, 1940\nThe general store lasted until the late 1970s.\nLake Harris died in 1983 at the age of 96. At about the same time, most of the few remaining residents gradually moved to more modern accommodations scattered around the edges of town, eventually leaving the old, historic center of town, for the most part, abandoned.\nNever incorporated, the streets of Jay Em were never paved or graveled, there were never sidewalks, curbs or gutters, there was no municipal organization or community center. At its largest, Jay Em hosted more than 200 residents.\nThe Jay Em Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.",

        "raw_content": "On behalf of LeVine, Ehrman & Horberg Ltd. on Friday, January 18, 2019.\nDivorce can be a complex process both financially and emotionally. Couples face a number of heated issues while they disentangle their lives, including property division and child custody. An increasingly common\u2013and contentious\u2013issue is who gets to keep the dog or cat when a couple splits.\nPeople have strong bonds with their pets and have long considered them to be a member of the family, so deciding pet custody can be heartbreaking and complicated. Illinois law recognizes the importance of pets in divorce and has made a change to the law in the last year to reflect this.\nIllinois recognizes pets in divorce\nWith an Illinois law enacted in the beginning of 2018, a court can help with a pet custody decision and consider a number of factors toward the best outcome. Previously, pets were considered to be property similar to the TV or furniture and split between the couple with no special consideration. Now, a judge can consider several factors surrounding pet custody to determine what might be in the best interest of the family and pet.\nFactors in the decision\nCouples are encouraged to decide pet custody on their own, but if they aren\u2019t able to agree, a judge can make a decision on their behalf. A judge has wide discretion in their decision, but will consider:\nThe age and health of the animal.\nThe bonds a pet might have with its owners.\nWhich of the parties arranged for the care of the animal, such as grooming or veterinarian appointments.\nWhich of the parties may be better suited to care for the pet.\nAny repercussions a decision might have on other household members.\nSimilar to child custody, a judge can grant sole custody to one party or joint custody to both where ex-spouses share time with the pet.\nSince decisions regarding pet ownership have been known to get complicated, giving the court the discretion to consider the bonds with its owners might eliminate some of the conflict. Knowing the best interest of your pet is part of the decision can give you comfort during an otherwise emotional time.",

He loved to be read to, and he loved reading to himself, mimicking the cadence of mom and dad.\nLiam was social, playful, and strong-willed - always interacting with lots of people, smiling at them, waving, blowing kisses, and giving high fives. Always determined, Liam would roll, crawl, shuffle, or yell - whatever it took to reach his goal. He was a hard worker from the get go.\nEven though he was so strong willed, he was also a great listener. If you asked him to share, or clean up, he would.\nLiam loved to wrestle with his dad, chase his dogs (Scraps & Frankie) play peek-a-boo with his mom, get tickled, play with his car, and fly!\nHe loved the water - he would kick his legs, smile from ear to ear, and squeal with joy and excitement whenever he was in the water. It didn't matter if it was bath time, a pool, the ocean, or a fountain - he always wanted to be in the water.\nOn September 3, 2016 - at only 15 months old - Liam was struck by a drunk driver in a crosswalk while on a walk with his aunt. Liam was found in his stroller, not breathing and without a pulse. The first responders were able to resuscitate him, but after a CT (computerized tomography) scan, it was found that the hit caused his brain to swel,l and the brain stem to sink down the spine. Two neurological tests were completed to see if there was any response from his nervous system. There was not.\nOn September 4, 2016 at approximately 2PM, in a room full of close family and friends, Liam was pronounced brain dead.\nLiam's organs were donated, and his parents decided to start a foundation in his name. Since then, they have been fighting for change - because drunk driving is a completely preventable problem, yet it still continues to happen.",

Democrats hope to lift more low-income workers out of financial stress while critics warn it could cause more harm than good.\n\u201cNo person working full time in America should be living in poverty,\u201d Scott said in a statement. \u201cThe Raise the Wage Act will increase the pay and standard of living for nearly 40 million workers across this country. Raising the minimum wage is not only good for workers, it is good for businesses, and good for the economy.\u201d\nThe $15 minimum wage has gained popularity in recent years as progressive advocacy groups have fought to implement it. Supporters argue the policy is a great way to lift low-wage workers out of poverty. But critics say increasing the minimum wage could cause harm to businesses and employees alike.\nRelated: Business Owners Hit Hard by New Year\u2019s Minimum Wage Increases\nHouse Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), Sen. Patty Murray (Wash.), and others also announced their support.\nSanders (above left) has been a major advocate of the $15 minimum wage and introduced the Senate version of the bill.\n\u201cJust a few short years ago, we were told that raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour was \u2018radical,\u2019\u201d Sanders said in a statement. \u201cBut a grassroots movement of millions of workers throughout this country refused to take \u2018no\u2019 for an answer. It is not a radical idea to say a job should lift you out of poverty, not keep you in it. The current $7.25 an hour federal minimum wage is a starvation wage.\u201d\nHouse Democrats were able to gain a majority during the midterm elections last year. Even so, the bill is unlikely to become law since it would have to pass a Republican majority in the Senate. President Donald Trump would then have to sign the bill \u2014 which he is unlikely to do.\nThere is no place in America where someone working full time & making the $7.25 federal minimum wage can make ends meet. Today, House & Senate Democrats are introducing the #RaiseTheWage Act to give roughly 40 million workers a raise. pic.twitter.com/6fgmjy5ORC\n\u2014 Rep. Bobby Scott (@BobbyScott) January 16, 2019\nThose opposed warn that minimum wage hikes comes with risks that become worse the more dramatic the increase. The $15 minimum wage would be about double the current federal standard. Employers could be forced to reduce staff, increase prices or even close altogether to overcome the added cost of labor. Low-skilled individuals would get hit the hardest.\nMinimum wage research has been fairly mixed in terms of impact The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, and others have found the increased cost of labor is likely to reduce employment opportunities. The Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI), a free-market nonprofit, found it will also impact younger and low-skilled workers the worst.\n\u201cResearch finds that a national $15 minimum wage will cost millions of workers their livelihood and impact young and low-skill individuals the most,\u201d CEI labor policy analyst Trey Kovacs told LifeZette. \u201cThis is a solution in search of a problem, because most workers already earn above the federal minimum wage, and most who do not are under the age of 25.\u201d\nBut plenty of research finds the negative impact is minimal or nonexistent compared to the benefits. The progressive Economic Policy Institute found the benefits greatly outweigh the potential downsides of raising the minimum wage.\nThe Center for American Progress found minimum wage hikes are necessary to offset stagnant wage growth.\n\u201cIn all 50 states, data shows a single worker currently needs or will soon need at least $15 an hour to cover basic living costs,\u201d the Economic Policy Institute said in a tweet Wednesday. \u201cThe Raise the Wage Act of 2019 would help ensure that more working people throughout the country will be able to make ends meet.\u201d\nThe Fight for $15 has been at the forefront of the minimum wage debate since it started in November 2012. The group has argued that minimum wages should be raised to $15 an hour and has had success implementing the policy on the local level and in a couple of states.\nRelated: Ocasio-Cortez Will Pay Her Interns $15 an Hour After Complaining About It\n\u201cIt\u2019s unacceptable that women and people of color have been left behind by our economy and our policies for far too long,\u201d Emily Martin at the National Women\u2019s Law Center said in a statement Wednesday. \u201cThe Raise the Wage Act would address this inequity. It would end poverty-level wages and give millions of women and the families who depend on their earnings a more secure future.\u201d\nThe Raise the Wage Act immediately faced opposition when backers announced their intent to introduce it. The Job Creators Network (JCN) warned the proposal would crush many small employers and guarantee fewer jobs for entry-level workers. The group ran an ad in Politico hours before the bill was unveiled that warned against the proposal.\n\u201cA $15 minimum wage will price many entry-level workers out of the job market,\u201d Alfredo Ortiz, the group\u2019s president, said in a statement to LifeZette. \u201cThe result will be fewer jobs and lower wages.\u201d\nThe Employment Policies Institute (EPI), a conservative research nonprofit, has closely tracked the impact of local minimum wages across the country. It\u2019s released research showing the negative impact of such a move, such as businesses having to close. The group more recently compiled much of that research into an online book announced Tuesday.\nBernie Fakes Phone Call to Avoid Questions About Fairfax Accuser\nBusiness Owners Hit Hard by New Year\u2019s Minimum Wage Increases",

        "raw_content": "EFT for Weight Loss:\nand Lose Weight With EFT\n\"I'll show you step-by-step exactly how to use this new technique to stop food cravings, and resolve any emotional issue you may have that contributes to overeating -- even if you have tried everything . . .\"\nCarol Solomon, Ph.D.\nYou want to lose weight, and it's hard.\nYou've tried practically everything.\nYou are fed up with everything being so hard, and you need tools . . . simple tools that will help you . . . and of course, you want to make it as easy as possible.\nWelcome . . . my name is Carol Solomon. I am a Clinical Psychologist, Personal Coach, and the author of a book called \"Lose Weight Now . . . Stay Slim Forever\".\nSome time ago, I came across this incredible technique for helping people with all kinds of problems. Never before in my 25 years of practicing psychology, or now in my personal coaching practice, have I seen such a simple technique be so powerful.\nI have seen problems that would normally take years to resolve in traditional therapy practically disappear in a few sessions.\nWhen I first learned the technique, I was skeptical.\nEven though what I saw seemed like a miracle, I had to see for myself.\nI tried it on myself (of course) and didn't really notice anything much at first. So I ignored it for awhile -- even though others were reporting phenomenal results.\nI was determined to learn more.\nI learned that this technique could be used to STOP food cravings.\nSince I specialize in helping people lose weight without dieting, that seemed like a natural place to start. What I have learned has been phenomenal.\nI was still curious. I couldn't get it out of my mind, so I read more about it and tried it again. This time I got incredible results.\nUsing this technique, I was able to ignore ALL food cravings and ANY urge to eat when I wasn't hungry.\nIt also got me off a plateau that I had been on FOREVER -- can you relate?\nI went for several weeks without the desire for ice cream -- a new record, for sure!\nAll this in complete peace and harmony . . .\nNeedless to say, I was thrilled . . .\nMy next experience was when I was scheduled to teach a weight management class. I was nervous about how it would go since I hadn\u2019t been in front of an audience for a long time.\nI used the technique to resolve my fears about being in front of an audience. I even used it in the bathroom before I started the class, using every spare moment to prepare.\nThe moment finally came.\nFor the first time in my life, I stood before an audience and spoke without an ounce of anxiety. I couldn\u2019t muster any if I tried.\nThis experience seemed surreal, but I was definitely convinced.\nI knew that something different had occurred in these experiences, something that I couldn\u2019t fully explain or understand, but I knew it was real.\nThat technique is called Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT). It was developed by a Stanford Engineer, Gary Craig. It is so versatile that it can be used for ANY issue or problem, and any aspect of any problem.\nI started incorporating EFT into my practice and boy, are my clients happy that I did.\nSince then, I have helped my clients curb their cravings for food, tobacco and alcohol, resolve fears, phobias and excessive emotional reactions.\nUsing EFT reduces the everyday stress, tension and anxiety that leads to reaching for chocolate when you aren't physiologically hungry.\nWhoever said \"No Pain No Gain\" obviously did not know about\nEmotional Freedom Techniques!\nEFT is a psychological use of the acupuncture meridian points - instead of using needles, you learn to tap with your fingertips on the meridian points while saying some statements.\nAs odd as it may sound, it works.\nAnd most importantly, it is simple and easy to use.\nEight days ago, I bought and down loaded your book about using EFT for weight loss. I have been working on changing my eating habits for over a year and a half . I lost the first 25 pounds easily enough, but hit a snag and have been unable to shed any more pounds. I have been stalled for about a year. I kept up the program because of other health benefits, but was very frustrated about not losing. I have lost 5 pounds in one week! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!\nHere is just some of what EFT can do for you . . .\nLearn to STOP food cravings.\nYou can use it to stop eating when you are satisfied, instead of continuing to eat. (One woman even used it when she was starving, so that she wouldn't feel so hungry).\nResolve your limiting beliefs that interfere with weight loss.\nLearn what to do and how to quickly calm yourself in any situation, so you won't be tempted to reach for food.\nYou can stop sabotaging yourself (I'll show you how).\nYou can reduce the intensity of emotions and anxiety that lead to overeating.\nYou can improve your body image and feel more positive about yourself.\nYou can overcome your resistance to exercise and increase your motivation to exercise.\nYou can stop feeling so frustrated and impatient when the weight isn't coming off, even though you are doing all the right things.\nYou can use it in the grocery store or at parties to ward off the urge for sweets.\nHere's a typical case in my practice . . .\n*\tMy client, Connie, was a perfect example. When I first met Connie, she was overweight and frustrated, having tried almost every available method of losing weight.\nIn spite of her efforts, the weight always came back on. I taught her how to use EFT for food cravings in my office.\nThe next week, she came in and reported that she had had 2 \"extreme moments\" that had NOTHING to do with hunger!!\n*\tShe had a strong urge to eat, even though she knew she was not physiologically hungry.\n*\tShe quickly used the EFT procedures as I had taught her and stated \"for some reason, I just didn't get up off the couch to go to the kitchen\".\n*\tEFT had worked perfectly. Connie had been having a stressful week and knew that she was probably just feeling overwhelmed and exhausted when the urge to eat hit her.\nHere is what Connie writes to me today:\nI\u2019ve been thinking about you. I'm feeling great! Lots of changes going on. I have lost 12 pounds and have kept it off for a while now.\nI have lots of energy, and the cravings are gone. I eat when I'm hungry even if the clock doesn't say breakfast, lunch or dinner. No more late night snacking when the family is in bed or pigging out on empty calories. I'm not sure what happened, but I think all your words, exercises, and patience with me helped to put everything together.\nI can even see a change in my body, and that helps me when I might be tempted to eat when I'm not really hungry. I just think how good I feel in my new smaller pair of jeans, and I don't choose to eat.\nIt's such a wonderful sense of freedom, just like you talked about.\nI'm so happy I had a chance to work with you. Thank you for so much, Carol.\nHere's another example - I taught EFT in a group a couple weeks ago -\n*\tOne woman used it before she went to the donut shop, and ended up throwing away the second donut she bought (unheard of for her).\n*\tAnother woman used it when she went to the dentist's office to stay calm during a stressful procedure even though I had taught her the procedure to stop food cravings. It worked!\n* A third woman used it after work to help calm herself and be less likely to binge.\nThese same simple techniques can work for you too.\nI have seen these results over and over again - and not just related to weight loss.\n*\tA business executive who was claustrophobic and afraid to fly and is now able to fly with ease - he even said it was fun!\n*\tA woman who was in the habit of having a drink every night (which led to overeating) has not had the urge to drink in weeks.\n* A woman with too much stress in her life uses it regularly to feel calmer.\nSo who else wants to have a quick and easy way\nto lose weight without dieting?\nEFT is simple and painless. There are no side effects.\nBest of all, you can learn it from the comfort of your own home or office and use it anywhere.\nHere\u2019s How I Can Help You Lose Weight Starting Right Now . . .\nI\u2019ve just finished a new book called \"How to STOP Food Cravings and Lose Weight With EFT\" that outlines in step-by step detail the most effective and easy technique that I have seen in over 25 years of helping others.\nIt's different than any weight loss technique you've ever seen.\nYou'll discover the exact steps for how to stop cravings, how to deal with any difficult food situation (grocery store, parties, buffets, etc.), how to increase your motivation to exercise using this simple \"tapping\" technique.\nAnd here's the proof . . .\nI know that this may sound gimmicky, but believe me, this is no gimmick.\nThe developer of this technique, Gary Craig, is a Stanford Engineer, now a personal performance coach -- he has been on Animal Planet recently using the technique to help a very frightened woman get over a small animal phobia. Gary has dedicated his life to teaching people how to overcome emotional and physical blocks to success.\nSome people are hesitant to adopt a new technique that seems a little unconventional. The research proving the effectiveness of these techniques is now coming in. A comparative study with EFT vs. other conventional methods has just been published in a major psychological journal, (The Journal of Clinical Psychology). EFT was shown to be far more effective in reducing anxiety than conventional methods.\nEFT has an extremely high effectiveness rate. This technique works for me\u2014 and my clients say that EFT has made ALL the difference for them.\nNow I want to share it with you. This is by far the most exciting and effective technique that I have learned in a long time.\nI\u2019ll show you some simple shortcuts . . .\nI've been intensely studying all there is to know about using EFT to stop cravings and lose weight. This book shows you the exact step-by-step methods that I use myself and teach my clients every day.\nThey are all simple, experience-proven skills that can work for you too.\nEFT is a quick and easy tool that you can use with any other weight loss method you are following.\nNow, I want to be clear with you -- I have a Ph.D. in Psychology and have been in practice for 25 years. I specialize in helping people achieve lasting weight loss without dieting. I believe in keeping things simple and practical - strategies you can live with.\nI believe in this technique and the science behind it so strongly that I want you to benefit too. This book contains all the tools you need to unlock your lifelong puzzle\u2014to return you to your natural weight and end your struggle with food forever.\nHere is a review by noted EFT practitioner, Betty Moore-Hafter:\n\"How to Stop Food Cravings and Lose Weight With EFT\" by Carol Solomon. E-book, 65 pages.\nCarol Solomon's book really covers all bases with regard to EFT for weight loss and food issues. First is a clear presentation of EFT in the chapter \"EFT Made Simple.\" Then each of the 17 remaining chapters adds further and deeper understandings of the complexity of food and weight issues and how to use EFT to address these.\nIn many ways, this is a self-help workbook which guides readers to become more self-aware and get to their deeper issues. For instance, Carol follows the \"Tapping for Food Cravings\" chapter with important chapters on negative emotions and emotional themes. There are sentence completions and fill-in-the-blanks and questionnaires to help us get to the bottom of emotional eating. The chapter on identifying our major emotional-eating themes, such as deprivation, loneliness, anxiety, etc., is excellent, as is the chapter on \"underlying themes\" such as issues of protection, fear of failure and fear of success (both of which keep us stuck). Carol includes specific tappable phrases and explains how to use \"I choose\" statements.\nIn a further section, the reader is guided to uncover limiting beliefs through questions and examples. In another chapter, Carol offers some specific EFT strategies to address self-sabotage. There's a great chapter on managing discouraging feelings -- most people who deal with this issue will identify with this one. She also explains how to \"rehearse\" new behaviors by imagining the difficult situations and using EFT in advance. Attention is given to overcoming exercise resistance, tapping for past traumatic events and building your vision of success. All through the book, paragraphs of clear information are juxtaposed with questionnaires and specific suggestions for tappable phrases. The book is almost like a checklist for discovering your issues, and then a \"how-to\" manual for how to tap for them.\nGary Craig is always reminding us of the importance of being specific. One of the great strengths of Carol's book is how very specific it is. I do a lot of work with weight and eating issues, and in my opinion, Carol Solomon's book is comprehensive, practical, clear and right on target with these issues. Highly recommended!\nNow, you must take the next step. . .\nYou\u2019ve got to take some constructive action right away, or your weight loss efforts will continue to be a struggle.\n\"How to Stop Food Cravings and Lose Weight With EFT\" will give you all the step-by-step instructions you need to stop eating when you aren't hungry and lose the weight you want.\nWhat if it were possible that you never had to worry about diets, drugs or surgery again?\nYou could pay $200, $500, even $1000's of dollars for less helpful information.

        "raw_content": "Time to Lead Campaigns \u00bbI\u2764 AWS - Women's Conference Motion 2019\nAll Women Shortlists work. We need to defend and extend them. Help us today to put positive action on the agenda at Labour Party Women\u2019s Conference.\nLabour Party Annual Women\u2019s Conference is the weekend of 23-24 February, in Telford. This is now a democratic, policy-making Conference \u2013 this means that all CLPs, and affiliates like LWN, will be entitled to submit motions and send delegates and to vote on the issues that may become Labour Party Policy.\nThis is an important opportunity for us to raise the issues that matter to LWN members, and to use our voice in the Party to push for equal representation, power and agency of women.\nWe all know that women are not yet represented equally.\nThat\u2019s why LWN has drafted a motion calling for us to defend and extend AWS and positive action. We want Labour\u2019s next manifesto to commit to the next Labour Government remove legal barriers to political parties using positive action. We are calling to extend the use of positive action to all elected posts, including mayors and Police and Crime Commissioners. For MPs, we are calling for a change in the law to ensure that parties can use positive action for as long as needed to in order to achieve sustainable parity of women in Parliament.\nYou can read the motion further down the page, or download it here.\nYou can also read our All-Women Shortlist Information Sheet here.\nBut we can\u2019t do this without you. We need as many CLPs as possible to pass and submit this motion, and then vote for it to be debated in the Priorities Ballot.\nCan you help us get this issue to Women\u2019s Conference by bringing it to your CLP? The deadlines are tight - motions have to be sent in by January 14th - so please act now.\nHow to get the I\u2764AWS motion to Women's Conference - everything you need to know\nHow do motions to Women's Conference work?\nEvery CLP and every affiliate is entitled to submit a motion to Women's Conference. It must be no more than 250 words, and it has to be on an issue related to women. The deadline for submitting motions is 14 January, and it's CLP Secretaries who will be responsible for submitting them. They can submit them here. Once all the motions are in and have been ruled to be valid, CLPs and affiliates will be able to vote in a Priorities Ballot to decide which motions will actually be debated on the day. CLPs will be able to choose 4 motions, and affiliates (unions and socialist societies) will be able to choose four.\nSo, if this motion is going to be debated, then we need as many CLPs as possible to submit it before 14 January, and then to vote for it in the Priorities Ballot after that.\nHow do you get your CLP to submit it?\nThis will depend on your CLP's structure. In some CLPs, decisions are made by All Members Meetings. In other CLPs, they are made by a General Committee (GC) of delegates from local branches. Dependent on your CLP structure and processes, you might be able to get the motion on the agenda for your next All Members Meeting or next GC by sending it to the CLP Secretary and asking them to table it. In other CLPs, motions can't be submitted by individuals, so it would need to go to your Labour Party Branch first, and then they would submit it to the GC.\nIf you're not sure how your CLP works, you should:\nEmail your CLP Secretary to ask them what the correct process is.\nBut, because time is short, in the meantime you should also:\nEmail your CLP and your Branch Secretary to ask them to table the motion for discussion at the next meeting, in time for the CLP to submit it by 14 January. Make sure you include the text of the motion, and clarify that you also want the meeting to agree to vote for the motion in the Priorities Ballot.\nOnce the motion is on the agenda, you'll need to go to the meeting to speak in favour of it. You can find some detailed FAQs here which will help you plan what you want to say.\nWhat about the Priorities Ballot?\nThis will take place soon after the motions deadline on 14 January. It will probably be quite a short window for CLP Secretaries to vote, so it's a good idea to agree that your CLP will vote to prioritise this motion at the same time that you debate it.\nEven if you don't manage to get the motion through your CLP in time, ask your CLP Secretary to vote to support it in the Priorities Ballot.\nWhat about delegates?\nEach CLP is entitled to 2 delegates to Women's Conference. The second place is reserved for women who are LGBT, BAME or disabled. Make sure that your CLP is sending a delegate to the Conference, so that they can vote in favour of the motion. The deadline for registering delegates is also 14 January. The delegates will also be able to vote to choose a motion to send from Women's Conference to Annual Conference. Why not stand as the delegate yourself?\nIt would be really helpful if you could email contact@lwn.org.uk to let us know if your CLP passes and submits our motion.\nYou can also get your Women's Forum, MP or Parliamentary Candidate to support our campaign. We'll have more campaign resources on this page soon.\nLWN motion to Labour Party Women's Conference 2019 - for CLPs to submit to Women's Conference:\nWomen in Public Life - Positive Action\nWomen\u2019s Conference notes that:\na) Women\u2019s representation in public life remains a long way from parity. Only 33% of MPs and 24% of the Cabinet are women, and only 32% of Councillors, 18% of Council Leaders and 18% of Police and Crime Commissioners are women. None of the recently elected Metro Mayors are women.\nb) The Labour Party has led the way in increasing women\u2019s representation in public life, and Labour\u2019s use of positive action has resulted in women comprising 45% of Labour MPs, 45% of Labour Councillors, 48% of Labour Members of the Scottish Parliament and 52% of Labour Welsh Assembly Members.\nc) This success has been achieved and maintained by the use of positive action mechanisms, including All Women Shortlists (AWS), twinning, and placing women at the top of electoral lists.\nd) In order to maintain parity once it is achieved, it will be necessary to retain the use of appropriate positive action measures to ensure that a diverse range of women continue to be able to enter public life. This would require a change of law.\nWomen\u2019s Conference resolves that the next Labour manifesto should pledge to:\na) Change the law so that positive action, including but not limited to AWS, can be used for all elected offices, including Mayors and Police and Crime Commissioners and any new publicly elected posts in future.\nb) Remove all other legislative barriers to the continued use of positive action by political parties.",

Yet the earliest reactions to its design sketches weren\u2019t ones of awe but of confusion.\nAccording to Datuk Baharuddin Abu Kassim, the architect responsible for the Masjid Negara\u2019s contemporary look, \u201cThe first thing Tunku Abdul Rahman, who was the prime minister at the time, asked was, \u2018Where is the dome?\u2019 He was expecting a traditional semi-spherical dome, you see.\u201d\nDatuk Baharuddin recalls his younger days growing up in Kuala Selangor and studying in England. \u2014 Picture by Choo Choy May\n50 Years National Mosque, a monograph published by Azim A.

As Masjid Negara celebrates its Golden Jubilee \u2014 it was officially opened on Friday, August 27, 1965 \u2014 with a pictorial exhibition, which starts today, we turn to the man behind its design to unravel the mystery of the dome.\nDatuk Baharuddin would be the first to tell you that he came from humble beginnings. The soft-spoken 86-year-old recalls, \u201cI was born in Kuala Selangor and my ancestors were from Bugis stock. My father was in charge of a coconut plantation so I grew up climbing coconut trees. They were the first things I remember drawing!\u201d\nFamily played, and continues to play, an important part in the esteemed architect\u2019s life. \u201cWe were all very close. My father was one of three siblings; I had an uncle and an aunt. I, in turn, had three children, and they each have three children too. It\u2019s a nice lucky number,\u201d he says, chuckling.\nHis \u201cluck\u201d continued when he was chosen as the only student from Kuala Selangor to attend the prestigious Malay College Kuala Kangsar (MCKK). \u201cTo be honest, I had no idea of what profession to pursue, so entering MCKK allowed me to get a strong education. It was a regimented life, being a boarding school, but I was already used to that as my father disciplined all of us growing up.\u201d\nFor his further education, Datuk Baharuddin had his eye on pursuing medicine at University of Malaya (then in Singapore). \u201cIt was something familiar, you see; I\u2019ve visited Singapore before. My friends were all trying to go overseas but I didn\u2019t think I stood a chance. You needed a scholarship.\u201d\nDatuk Baharuddin recalls his younger days growing up in Kuala Selangor and studying in England.\nTo his surprise, he was offered the opportunity to study architecture in England. He was excited but the decision to go wasn\u2019t an easy one. \u201cI was afraid that they\u2019d have me go via a ship and I\u2019m afraid of sailing. Everyone else in my family is fine on water but I get seasick! Fortunately, they had me take a plane but even then it was arduous: I had to change several times in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), the Middle East, and so on before I landed in England three to four days later.\u201d\nThe quick-witted octogenarian pauses, before adding, \u201cStill, that is better than three weeks on a ship, correct?\u201d\nDatuk Baharuddin studied at the University of Manchester, something he is still grateful for due to the racism he first encountered in Southern England. He recounts, \u201cPeople treated you different as a foreigner in London. When I got to Manchester, there was still a \u2018colour bar\u2019 there but it wasn\u2019t so bad. The Mancunians, once they learned where I was from, got very curious. They asked me if Malayans lived on tree tops. I had to disappoint them with my answer.\u201d\nIn fact, Datuk Baharuddin fondly remembers being \u201cadopted\u201d by a local family who insisted he visit them every weekend. \u201cThis meant a lot to me because I was so far away from home and my family obviously couldn\u2019t afford to fly me back during the holidays. But it wasn\u2019t so bad, other than the terrible cold weather. I was surprised to learn we had more to eat in Malaya than in England at that time, right after the war. Food supplies were still scarce.\u201d\nWhen he returned to Malaya, Datuk Baharuddin worked at the Public Works Department with fellow architect Hisham al-Bakri, together under a British supervisor, Howard Ashley. This was the trio that was selected to design the national mosque, an idea mooted by then Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman, to commemorate the country\u2019s independence.\n\u201cFor Tunku Abdul Rahman, the mosque represented the unity of all Malaysians,\u201d says Datuk Baharuddin. \u201cOur challenge was to design a mosque that was modern yet still had influences of traditional Malay architecture.\u201d\nMasjid Negara (National Mosque) celebrates its Golden Jubilee this year \u2013 it was officially opened on Friday, August 27, 1965.\nHe recalls being inspired by how royalty would always be escorted with an umbrella when stepping outside. \u201cI thought the umbrella would be a very good symbol because of this. But I couldn\u2019t design a round umbrella because we had to use concrete, and that meant straight lines. Then I thought of the payung kertas \u2014 a folded umbrella, which had the straight lines I needed.\u201d\nHence the mystery of the dome is explained. The final design for the mosque featured a main dome that resembles a semi-opened umbrella with 16 points. Even its 73-metre-high minaret resembles a folded umbrella.\nMuslims perform Friday prayers inside Masjid Negara.\nMasjid Negara took five years to complete; its opening was officiated by the third Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Syed Putra. Today, the national landmark can accommodate up to 15,000 worshippers; each year the mosque welcomes over 240,000 domestic and international visitors.\nDatuk Baharuddin\u2019s original drawings, artist\u2019s sketches and photographs, together with archived photographs of various visiting dignitaries, kings and world leaders including US President Barack Obama, are now showcased in the 50 Years National Mosque Exhibition held at the Islamic Arts Museum.\nThe man spearheading the exhibition is Azim A. Aziz, Chief Executive Officer of ATSA Architects Sdn Bhd and one of Datuk Baharuddin\u2019s past associates. Both men share a warm mentor-and-apprentice relationship. In conjunction with the exhibition, Azim has also published a monograph to commemorate the mosque\u2019s 50th anniversary.\nNo one is more excited to view the exhibition than Datuk Baharuddin himself.

        "raw_content": "Home News Lecture explores immigration\u2019s value\nLecture explores immigration\u2019s value\nOn Wednesday Oct. 5, St. Olaf Advocates for Immigrants and Refugees invited Mike Fernandez, former senior executive of Cargill, to give a talk titled \u201cImmigration is Good for the Economy\u201d in Buntrock Common\u2019s Black Ballroom.\nFernandez has previously published an article entitled \u201cDon\u2019t Oversimplify the Immigration Issue, but Note the Minnesota Impact,\u201d in which he identifies immigrants as the engine for economic growth and noted that they have contributed three billion dollars in taxes in Minnesota alone.\nStarting his lecture by providing statistics, Fernandez stated that there are millions of immigrants in the United States, a sizeable portion of whom are undocumented. Taking this into consideration, Fernandez noted attention from politicians, some of whom want to \u201cbuild walls\u201d and increase border security. Meanwhile, other politicians argue about making a pathway to citizenship so there can be more diversity in the country.\nFernandez, himself an immigrant from Cuba, argued that the logic behind closing the border and building a wall is rooted in the United States\u2019 perception of its southern, not northern, neighbors.\n\u201cBecause Canadians look like us,\u201d Fernandez said, \u201cwe prefer to hear them say \u2018eh,\u2019 but we don\u2019t like to hear the word, \u2018bandido,\u2019 or see people who look more like \u2018rapists\u2019 and \u2018thieves,\u2019\u201d referring to Donald Trump\u2019s remarks regarding Mexicans during his announcement of his presidential bid in June 2015.\nFernandez was quick to introduce evidence that countered Trump\u2019s claims, arguing that immigrants are, in fact, less likely to commit violent crime than other demographic groups in the United States. Since 1990, as the number of undocumented immigrants in the U.S. tripled, rates of violent crime declined by almost half. Furthermore, according to data collected in 2008, immigrants are underrepresented as a portion of the incarcerated population, according to Fernandez.\nFernandez also emphasized the ways in which immigrants have a positive economic impact. According to Fernandez, over 40 percent of Fortune 500 companies in the United States were founded by immigrants. Despite the fact that immigrants comprise only 8 percent of Minnesota\u2019s population, Fernandez noted a study which found that immigrants occupy nearly 16 percent of all scientific, technology and engineering jobs in the state.\nDrawing from his personal experience as a former senior executive at Cargill, Fernandez argued that Minnesota, among other midwestern states, has a high demand for laborers in agriculture, food production and construction \u2013 a demand that immigrants are willing and able to meet.\nFernandez closed his presentation by expressing his appreciation for the St. Olaf Advocates for Immigrants and Refugees, who invited him to visit campus to deliver his presentation.\n\u201cI appreciate young citizens who care about how important immigration is to our economy,\u201d he said. \u201cThe new generation is better off, and I can say that 20 years from now you will have a better future than you do now.\u201d\nRebekah Gregory \u201918, an event planner for the Advocates, stressed the importance of bringing experts to campus to discuss facts and misconceptions regarding immigration.\n\u201cSometimes people make myths that are not founded in fact,\u201d she said. \u201cInviting a person like Mr. Fernandez to give a testimonial brings one of the many perspectives yet to be heard by us, so that we can educate ourselves about things.\u201d\nSt. Olaf Advocates for Immigrants and Refugees is a student organization dedicated to spreading awareness and education on immigration in the U.S. In addition to planning events such as lectures and guest speakers, the Advocates volunteer at local Northfield schools and with a Cambodian dance group.\nmotaal1@stolaf.edu\nPrevious articleHumanitarian advocates for law to serve human rights\nNext articleProposed railway picks up steam",

        "raw_content": "What Do B2C Brands Need In Order to Achieve A Single View of the Customer?\nCompanies have long been trying to achieve a single view of their customers, but they\u2019re still struggling to do so. Just 22% of senior marketers (primarily from large consumer-facing companies) responding to a CMO Council survey [download page] said that a single view of the customer is realistic and attainable for their organization today.\nSo what\u2019s missing? At least half of respondents pointed to 4 areas that would help:\nA single record of a customer that the entire organization contributes to and is continuously updated and available across the entire enterprise (65%);\nTechnologies that help organize all data about the customer under one identifier (53%);\nCross-functional data, including marketing, sales, service and support, finance, supply chain, operational and commerce data (52%); and\nData and intelligence from every function/department of the organization (50%).\nThese results collectively indicate that marketers\u2019 top needs relate in some way to cross-functional co-ordination of data, underpinned by technology.\nMarketers are certainly investing in technology, presumably in an effort to meet these requirements. Fully 78% have implemented a new marketing, data, analytics or customer engagement technology platform or solution in the past year. Additionally, among those who have implemented such a platform or solution, the majority (53%) estimated having installed at least 5. Much of the time, these implementations have been done to replace, upgrade or enhance an existing technology as opposed to onboarding a completely new solution.\nBy far the leading reason why marketers have replaced or enhanced an existing solution is that the existing technology was not connecting data and channels in the way that marketers had hoped, which speaks to the focus on a single view of the customer.\nMarketers have a lot riding on the success of those investments. While 3% believe their job is definitively at risk if an investment fails to meet expectations, another 48% feel that it could possibly be, though they recognize there are factors beyond technology that have a direct impact on their role.\nThose findings bring to mind previous research from SAP, in which B2B buyers expressed a range of purchase decision risks, including losing credibility internally and losing their job.\nExactly half of respondents rate the overall state of their organization\u2019s customer experience as \u201cnot very good\u201d (47%) or \u201cpoor\u201d (3%).\nThe main ways in which respondents\u2019 customer experience and engagement strategies have changed in the past year are through accelerated data and IT initiatives to better close skills and capabilities gaps (35%) and through increased demands for individualized experiences from a digitally connected customer. New research from the DMA also finds that consumer expectations are driving corporate CX initiatives.\nThe top area that marketers will be focusing attention on in the coming year to advance CX strategy and improve CX outcomes is applying knowledge about customer context to reshape communications, content and campaigns.\nAbout the Data: The results are based on a survey of more than 200 senior marketing executives in primarily consumer-facing industries. The majority (57%) of respondents are from companies with annual revenues of more than $1 billion.\nDoes Marketing \u201cOwn\u201d The Customer? For Most, Yes. Do Brands Have Enough MarTech Now?

        "title": "Avoiding the US Sales Tax Trap - Marks Paneth",
        "raw_content": "UK and European companies that do business in the US or set up US operations are frequently puzzled by US sales and use taxes. Sales and use taxes are transactions taxes that are imposed on ultimate customers at a state and local level. The amounts and rules vary from state to state and locality to locality.\nSales and use taxes are not like European value added tax (VAT). VAT is a tax imposed on each level of a transactional chain but then recoverable in many circumstances except by the ultimate retail customer.\nSales and use taxes, in contrast, are imposed only at the ultimate point of sale, although intermediate parties in the chain may find themselves paying sales tax if they are unable to establish their right to exemption. A seller is required to collect sales/use tax from a customer in a relevant state and remit it to the state and local tax authorities if: (a) the customer is not exempt; and (b) the seller has sufficient nexus to that state that the seller is subject to the collection obligation.\nNexus is a physical connection to the state or locality, and can result from having an office in the state, employees or independent contractors in the state, inventory in, or drop shipping from, the state, an agent or affiliate in the state, or potentially even temporary business activities in the state, like participation in a trade show in excess of a certain number of allowed days.\nIf the seller is not required to collect sales/use tax or fails to do so, the customer is required to pay an equal amount of use tax to the state or locality. Compliance by larger corporate customers with their use tax obligations is generally pretty good; compliance by individual customers is poor, and compliance by smaller business customers may be unreliable.\nSales and use taxes typically are imposed on goods (tangible personal property) and not on most services, although this is not always the case. However, some states, including New York, treat software as a service (SaaS) as standardized (not customized) software, and consequently subject sales of SaaS services to sales and use taxes.\nWhat does this mean for UK and European companies:\nThis is a compliance nightmare, but it can be managed. Get early advice from tax advisors who are knowledgeable in this area on a 50 state basis.\nRequire your customers to agree to pay use taxes and provide you with documentary evidence. This won\u2019t relieve the company of its own liability to collect and remit (so the company could still be subject to penalties and interest), but the taxing authority should not be entitled to receive double payment if your customer has, in fact, paid the appropriate \u201cuse\u201d tax.\nMany states impose responsible person liability based on an individual\u2019s \u201cwillful failure\u201d to comply with that state\u2019s sales and use tax laws. Thus, notwithstanding the limited liability provided by operating through a corporation, officers and directors may have personal liability for unpaid sales tax, penalties and interest if they willfully fail to collect, or remit, sales and use tax.\nRobert P.

        "raw_content": "There are more than 87,000 foundations in the United States \u2014 including family, corporate and community foundations \u2014 according to the Foundation Center. If your not-for-profit isn\u2019t actively seeking grants from these groups, you\u2019re neglecting a potentially significant income source.\nProbably the most important thing to remember when approaching foundations is that they tend to specialize, making grants to certain types of charities or in specific geographic regions. It\u2019s not enough to be a 501(c)(3) organization \u2014 though your exempt status is critical. Your nonprofit\u2019s mission and programs will need to match the interests of the foundation to which you\u2019re applying.\nSo it\u2019s essential to research foundations before you apply for grants. Review annual reports, tax filings, press releases and any other information you can get your hands on. One place to start is the Foundation Center\u2019s online directory at foundationcenter.org.\nOnce you have a list of matches, don\u2019t just start sending out long, detailed proposals. Call your target foundations and talk to staff members about the kind of information they need and their communication preferences. Most will be happy to provide insights into their decision-making process and shed light on your chances of securing a grant.\nSuccessful qualities\nThe most successful foundation grant proposals have several qualities in common. For example, foundations like projects that are well defined and data driven with specific goals. They also want to know that their gifts are effective, so achievement of such goals needs to be measurable.\nIt\u2019s important to outline a project\u2019s life cycle and how you plan to fund it to completion. Many foundations provide the money to initiate projects but expect nonprofits to use their own funds and other grants to continue them. In fact, if you hope to establish a long-term relationship with a foundation that has given you a grant, you must successfully finish what you started.\nIf at first ...\nKeep in mind that a rejected proposal doesn\u2019t have to shut the door on future opportunities. If your request is turned down, ask the foundation to explain its decision and to provide tips on making your proposals stronger. Many organizations are competing for the same foundation funds, so tenacity is crucial. Contact us for more tips on getting the funding your organization needs.",

        "raw_content": "Studio Blog > Two Art Events in Two Nights This Weekend\nI participated in two shows this weekend so it was certainly a busy couple of days. The first was the ManyMine show at OA Gallery in Kirwood, Missouri. This was the second consevutive year that I've been invited to be in the show and two of my smaller oil paintings were included. They looked great and the gallery packed for the reception on Friday evening. Then on Saturday I was one of 20 artists pariticpating in a pop-up show called \"20 Grand\" at the Grandel Theater in St. Louis and coordinated by the Kranzberg Foundation for the Arts. This event was a bit different, with 20 artists settting up in space on the afternoon of the show and then the event ran 6-9:30 and then we had to take down the event. I think perhaps these types of events should be called \"pop-up/pop-down\" shows since the pop-up part is only half the work and breaking down the show happens when everyone is tired. Anyway, it all went quite well with some fun pieces selling and an engaged group of art enthusiasts coming through the space. There was a Dave Glover performance in the main Grandel Theater space below us, Garrison Keillor was live at the Fox Theater around the corner and there a symphony at Powell Hall across the street, so the neighborhood was busy. All in all, it was a fun couple of evenings and another great opportunity to share my work. I appreciate all the support, visits, collecters!, and all of the other artists.",

This movement is part of the 2016 ENERGY STAR Change the World Tour, a national tour showcasing partnerships that advance energy efficiency while also improving communities.\nThe Sponsors of Mass Save\u2014including Cape Light Compact, Eversource Energy, National Grid, and Unitil\u2014are proud to announce their participation in this year\u2019s Change the World Tour. Mass Save Sponsors are teaming up with Massachusetts Fallen Heroes to raise funds for the nonprofit through the sale of specialty packs containing six ENERGY STAR certified LED bulbs. For each pack sold, 50 percent of revenues will be donated to Massachusetts Fallen Heroes to support its mission of honoring the Fallen, assisting Gold Star Families, and empowering returning Veterans. From June until November, packs will be sold for $10 at events throughout Massachusetts and online, with the goal of raising $25,000 for Massachusetts Fallen Heroes.\nMass Save and its Sponsors are just a few of the organizations that are joining this year\u2019s Change the World Tour. More than 20 utilities, lighting manufacturers, energy efficiency program operators, and retailers are involved. Through their participation, support is being provided to many more nonprofits, such as Habitat for Humanity, Meals on Wheels, Boys & Girls Clubs of America, and other local community assistance programs and schools.\nThis means that, by purchasing ENERGY STAR certified LED bulbs during the tour, you\u2019ll have the chance to give back to your community, plus still get all the great benefits that LED bulbs provide. ENERGY STAR certified LEDs use up to 90 percent less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs and can last up to 25 times longer, which means you\u2019ll save on energy costs. In fact, you can save up to $10 every year just by replacing one incandescent bulb in your home with an ENERGY STAR certified LED.\nSo, this October, don\u2019t miss out on the chance to save energy, cut costs, and give back to your community. Visit www.energystar.gov/brightenalife to learn more about this year\u2019s tour participants and find out how you can get involved.",

I really feel like I got to know the other students and the professor. I genuinely feel like the faculty cared as much about getting to know me and my well-being as they did about pushing me to excel academically and grow as a person.\u201d\nThroughout his senior year, Kevin Schaefer '14 worked remotely for his future employer, DuPont Pioneer in Johnston, Iowa. He interned last summer in the research information management division of Pioneer, a company that develops and sells hybrid seed and conducts plant research worldwide.\n\u201cA company that large and with that much data has some extensive information needs,\u201d Kevin said. \u201cAs a software developer intern, I worked on writing software which produces various reports, and helped develop and manage several SharePoint pages. In addition to learning a new programming language, I also got to learn some more advanced web programming, including jQuery, which can be used to make web pages more interactive and interesting.\u201d\nThe May 2014 graduate is relocating to Iowa to be a full-time software developer, working with the company\u2019s databases and developing its websites - skills he has applied in the university\u2019s Division of Computing lab the past four years.\n\u201cMy job as a lab worker was something I enjoyed so much I would have done it without getting paid,\u201d he said. \u201cBecause of it, I have become exposed to so many different technologies and areas of computing. When you are in a field as fast-paced as technology or computer science, it is very useful to have a wide skill set.\u201d\nKevin was a mainstay in the computer lab, where his professors often found him working on projects or taking the initiative to make a process more efficient. An application he wrote for the Writing Resource Center enabled it to track tutoring activity and students\u2019 progress and cut down on paper work. The program worked so well that the Academic Support Center asked for its own version.\nHe built a website to complement the McKendree Review student newspaper and helped transition it to something that can be easily maintained by a non-computer science student. \u201cFor a computer science student, this was a way of putting your skills to use in a real-life situation on a website that hundreds of users could see each day. Doing something like this offers a unique opportunity to work at so many different levels of the online publishing industry. It was really valuable to me.\u201d\nUsing open source software has inspired Kevin to help develop an existing open source project or start a new one after he graduates. \u201cWhen I worked for the McKendree Review and set up our web server, every single piece of software that I decided to use was open source. It didn\u2019t cost the Review or the university anything in terms of licenses. I feel like contributing to the open source community is my way of giving back.\u201d\nLearn more about McKendree University and the Division of Computing program.",

        "raw_content": "Science for Men Who Like Women\nRecently we\u2019ve heard some science news that we weren\u2019t quite sure what to do with. While these aren\u2019t medgadgets, these scientific breakthroughs could easily lead to several new devices.\nFirst up was the revelation, last week, that the desirability of backsides could be mathematically described:\nThe magical figures are (S+C) x (B+F)/T = V. Though the equation looks rather complicated, it is, according to the scientist, simple\u2026 It assesses shape, bounce, firmness and symmetry \u2013 all factors that add up to the bottom line.\nS is the overall shape or droopiness of the bottom, C represents how spherical the buttocks are, B measures muscular wobble or bounce, while F records the firmness.\nV is the hip to waist ratio, or symmetry of the bottom, and T measures the skin texture and presence of cellulite.\nThen we heard this breakthrough: Men\u2019s decision-making becomes less rational when they catch sight of a beautiful woman. What\u2019s more, the effect is dependent on testosterone levels they experienced during development:\nMen about to play a financial game were shown images of sexy women or lingerie\u2026 The men\u2019s performance in the tests showed those who had been exposed to the \u201csexual cues\u201d were more likely to accept an unfair offer than those who were not.\nThe men\u2019s testosterone levels were also tested \u2013 by comparing the length of the men\u2019s index finger compared to their ring finger.\nIf the ring finger is longest, it indicates a high testosterone level.\nThe researchers found that men in the study who had the highest levels performed worst in the test, and suggest that is because they are particularly sensitive to sexual images.\nDr Siegfried DeWitte, one of the researchers who worked on the study, said: \u201cWe like to think we are all rational beings, but our research suggests \u2026 that people with high testosterone levels are very vulnerable to sexual cues\u2026\n\u2026The researchers are conducting similar tests with women. But so far, they have failed to find a visual stimulus which will affect their behaviour.\u201d\nRemember when scientists and the media used to report things that weren\u2019t obvious? Oh well. At least we were tickled by these finger-length presumptions, which are apparently well-validated and becoming increasingly common in social studies and press reports.\nPerhaps someday soon these two UK researchers will get together and find a formula to describe attraction and distractibility, based solely on finger length ratios. They can use this paper as a launching point.",

        "title": "Food poisoning duration: Definition, duration, and prevention",
        "raw_content": "How long do food poisoning symptoms last?\nCommon causes and duration\nFood poisoning, sometimes called foodborne illness, is a common but preventable condition caused by eating foods contaminated with harmful pathogens.\nAccording to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), every year, 1 in 6 Americans experience food poisoning.\nThe most common symptoms are nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramping, and diarrhea.\nMany cases of food poisoning are mild and get better on their own. Severe or chronic cases, however, may require medical intervention.\nFood poisoning may affect 1 in 6 Americans every year due to contaminated food containing pathogens.\nFood poisoning is caused by eating food contaminated with pathogens, which are infectious bacteria, parasites, or viruses. Most foodborne illnesses are gastrointestinal, meaning they cause symptoms in the digestive tract.\nDespite major advances in food production and safety, food poisoning is still very common. Food contamination can occur during production, processing, transportation, and storage. Contamination also happens during preparation and cooking.\nA 2013 study found that 51 percent of food poisoning cases were caused by plant products and 48 percent were caused by animal products, including beef, pork, poultry, and seafood. This data was pulled from a 10-year period from 1998-2008.\nA CDC study found that, out of the 9 million annual cases of food poisoning in the United States (U.S.), roughly 56,000 required hospitalization and 1,350 led to death.\nCommon causes of food poisoning include:\nNorovirus is a contagious virus found in food and water contaminated with feces. It can spread through contact with infected individuals or surfaces.\nNoroviruses are responsible for 58 percent of cases of foodborne illness in the U.S. In a CDC study, norovirus accounted for 26 percent of cases that required hospitalization.\nMost outbreaks occur in food service settings, such as restaurants, where infected individuals have handled raw foods.\nNorovirus does not have a cure. It is treated by a person resting, being hydrated, and taking vitamin and mineral supplements.\nMost symptoms of norovirus infections begin within 12 to 48 hours of exposure. They usually stop after a few days.\nCommon norovirus symptoms include:\ndiarrhea, usually constant and severe\nbody aches or muscle soreness\nIn extreme cases, norovirus can cause severe dehydration. Without treatment, severe dehydration can lead to death.\nSigns of severe dehydration include:\ndizziness, especially when standing up\ndry, sensitive, or painful eyes\nunusual sleepiness, fussiness, and reduced tears in children\nSalmonella spreads through contaminated food and water, and causes infectious diarrhea.\nSalmonella species are a leading cause of bacterial diarrhea worldwide, causing 94 million cases and around 115,000 deaths every year.\nAccording to a 2011 CDC study, nontyphoidal Salmonella is responsible for 11 percent of American food poisoning cases and 35 percent of food illness hospitalizations annually.\nSalmonella spreads through food and water contaminated with fecal matter. Contact with infected individuals or animals can also cause infection.\nSalmonella infections most commonly cause infectious diarrhea (gastroenteritis). Other common symptoms include fever and abdominal pain.\nSymptoms can start at any point within 6 to 72 hours of exposure but commonly occur within 12 to 36 hours. Diagnosis is usually made using a fecal sample.\nIn many cases, hydration and rest are the only recommended treatment. Most infections get better within 4 to 7 days.\nSevere cases or high-risk individuals, such as children, older people, and people with weakened immune systems, may be given antimicrobial medications.\nClostridium perfringens is a type of bacteria that infects the intestines of humans and animals. Illness occurs if a large amount of the bacteria is consumed. It cannot be spread through contact with an infected person.\nMost commonly found in raw meat and poultry products, Clostridium perfringens spreads in pre-cooked foods that have been kept warm for serving.\nAccording to the CDC study, Clostridium perfringens is responsible for 10 percent of food poisoning cases in the U.S.\nInfection can occur at any point between 6 to 24 hours after exposure but usually happens within 8 to 12 hours.\nSymptoms include diarrhea and abdominal pain. Most people do not experience fever or vomiting. Symptoms often begin suddenly and stop within 24 hours.\nMost cases are treated with rest and hydration. For severe cases, electrolyte replacement and intravenous fluids may be necessary to avoid severe dehydration.\nCampylobacter species are the leading global cause of bacterial gastroenteritis, or inflammation of the stomach and small intestines.\nThey are found in the intestines of warm-blooded animals, especially cattle and poultry, and spread through the consumption of meat and poultry products. They can also spread through direct contact with infected animals.\nAccording to a CDC study, Campylobacter species are responsible for 9 percent of U.S. cases of food poisoning and 15 percent of hospitalizations annually.\nInfection can occur 1 to 10 days after exposure. Most infections are mild and improve on their own within 3 to 6 days.\nTreatment includes hydration and rest. Children, older adults, and people with a weakened immune system may require medical attention.\nUndercooked meat and fish that has been contaminated with feces may transmit parasites.\nThere are many parasites that can be transmitted through contaminated food. The CDC report that the most common foodborne parasites in the U.S. are:\nprotozoa, such as Cryptosporidium species and Toxoplasma gondii\nroundworms, such as Trichinella species\ntapeworms, such as Diphyllobothrium\nT. gondii is estimated to be the cause of 8 percent of hospitalizations and 24 percent of deaths related to food poisoning in the U.S.\nThese parasites can be transmitted through undercooked meat and fish and raw vegetables that have been contaminated with feces.\nSymptoms vary depending on the parasite. Many cause gastrointestinal symptoms, while some can also lead to a cough, skin lesions, and nerve problems.\nAlthough they are rarer than other forms of foodborne illness, Listeria monocytogenes infections are often serious and require hospitalization.\nAccording to the CDC, around 1,600 people get Listeria infections each year, and 1 in 5 dies from the condition.\nListeria most commonly affects newborns, pregnant women, older adults, and those with immune system conditions.\nInitial signs of infection include diarrhea, similar to most foodborne illnesses. Symptoms normally occur within 1 to 4 hours of consuming contaminated food.\nIf Listeria spreads, it can cause an invasive infection. Symptoms of an invasive infection include:\nstiff muscles or joints, particularly in the neck\nIn pregnant women, symptoms may include:\nIf these symptoms occur during pregnancy, seek immediate medical attention. The bacteria can spread to the fetus through the placenta, causing stillbirth.\nListeria is diagnosed using fecal samples and treated using antibiotics.\nE. coli bacteria live naturally in the intestines of most healthy humans. While most types of E. coli are harmless, some species cause infections.\nThese bacteria spread through fecal matter in food or water, as well as through direct contact with infected individuals.\nE.coli species can cause a wide variety of symptoms. These include:\nMost symptoms appear within 3 to 4 days of infection and improve after 5 to 7 days.\nThe recommended treatment is usually hydration and rest. However, a few species of E. coli can cause bloody diarrhea and severe dehydration, which require hospitalization or more immediate medical treatment.\nMany cases of food poisoning are preventable.\nGood hygiene and cooking foods thoroughly are the best and easiest ways to avoid food poisoning.\nFood poisoning can be prevented if some rules are followed, such as reheating food to the correct temperature and avoiding cross-contaminating food.\nSafe minimum cooking temperatures include:\nfresh beef, veal, and lamb: 145\u00b0F (let stand 3 minutes)\npoultry: 165\u00b0F\npork and ham: 145\u00b0F (let stand 3 minutes)\negg dishes: 160\u00b0F, cook eggs until whites are firm\nleftover dishes and casseroles: 165\u00b0F\nfish: 145\u00b0F or flesh can come apart with a fork\nshellfish: cook until shells open on their own\nSome ways to prevent food poisoning include:\nrefrigerating perishable foods within 1 hour and cooked foods within 2 hours\nreheating foods to recommended cooking temperatures\navoiding touching your face or mouth\nwashing fruits and vegetables before cooking and consumption\navoiding cross contamination of meats, poultry, and dairy products with fruits and vegetables\nkeeping diapers, dog bags, and cat litter away from food preparation areas\navoiding exposure to small, uncirculated bodies of water, such as small lakes, ponds, and children's play pools\nwashing hands frequently when around farm and zoo animals\nTake precautions when eating raw foods and foods that have been prepared commercially, as well as foods that have been left out of the refrigerator, sitting on ice, under heat lamps, or on heating plates.\nIf you have symptoms of food poisoning or suspect exposure to foodborne illnesses, avoid contact with others or preparing food for others.\nAll about food poisoning Eating contaminated food can lead to diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. It can also cause inflammation and develop into stomach flu. The most serious concern is dehydration, and the very old and very young are especially vulnerable.

Wexner Medical Center offers highly specialized and differentiated clinical services and more than 2,000 clinical trials. Mercy Health brings a vast geographic footprint with proven clinical services and a thriving accountable care organization. Together, they have created the Alliance to leverage their respective strengths, significantly expand access to life-changing care and improve the health of all of those they serve.\nThe Healthy State Alliance has identified 10 objectives. Due to the pressing health care needs in the state, it will focus early efforts on three objectives in particular: addressing the opioid epidemic and increasing access to cancer and transplant care.\nOhio is among the top five worst states in the nation with the highest rate of opioid-related deaths1; more than 4,000 Ohioans died of unintentional overdose in 20162.\nCancer is the second leading cause of death in Ohio and the United States3. Ohio is among the nation\u2019s leaders in both cancer rates and cancer-related deaths \u2013 with more than 25,000 Ohioans dying from cancer in 20164.\nOne Ohioan dies every other day waiting for a life-saving transplant, and more than 3,000 Ohioans are waiting for a life\u2010saving transplant at any given time5.\n\u201cThis is a phenomenal opportunity to combine our expansive footprint with one of the nation\u2019s preeminent academic medical centers to ensure our patients get access to the best available care closer to home,\u201d said John M. Starcher, Jr., President and CEO, Bon Secours Mercy Health. \u201cTogether, we can work in new and creative ways that haven\u2019t been done before. We will be nimble, share our best thinking and collaborate among our care providers much faster than we could by working alone.\u201d\nTogether, the organizations have a shared vision for a better health care future and a focused mission to treat every person they serve with dignity, respect and excellence. The Alliance will also bring exciting opportunities for collaboration and access to continuing medical and graduate education, and training for the organizations\u2019 employees and physicians.\n\u201cWe are determined to create healthier communities throughout the state of Ohio and across the region. Through the Healthy State Alliance, we are uniquely positioned for success based on our shared vision of convenient access to differentiated clinical care across the state, a relentless focus on quality, our combined size and scale, a focus on decreasing costs and our similar values and culture,\u201d said David McQuaid, Chief Executive Officer, The Ohio State University Health System and Chief Operating Officer, The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.\nThe collective resources of both organizations will fuel the Alliance\u2019s bold ambition, providing increased access to more than 50,000 team members and more than 600 points of care throughout the state. Additionally, patients will benefit from enhanced access to one of the nation\u2019s premier transplant centers that has already saved more than 9,600 lives, one of only 49 National Cancer Institute designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers in the country and assets of one of America\u2019s leading research universities, which will be leveraged to address the most critical health needs in Ohio and beyond.\nPlease visit healthystateforall.org for more information on Healthy State Alliance.\nAbout The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center\nPart of The Ohio State University, one of America\u2019s leading research universities, The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center is one of the most preeminent and diverse academic medical centers in the country and the only academic medical center in central Ohio.

        "title": "Proton therapy - IBA's cyclotrons fight cancer - Metrolab",
        "raw_content": "The IBA group, a global proton therapy machine specialist, has built nearly 300 cyclotrons since being founded in 1986. Its success is based notably on leading-edge magnetic measurement expertise: each accelerator requires thousands of high-precision Hall probe measurements. We took a look inside with Yves Paradis, in charge of magnetic measurements at IBA.\nProton therapy is more accurate than conventional radiotherapy and produces fewer unwanted side effects. It has expanded rapidly since the 1990s, thanks largely to the incomparable results obtained on certain brain and spinal tumours and in paediatric applications. Belgian company IBA (Ion Beam Applications) has played a major part in these developments: it has produced over half of the proton therapy machines currently in use around the world, and they have already benefited more than 50,000 patients. One of the company's core businesses is the building of complete proton therapy centres, ranging from the accelerator itself \u2013 a 230 MeV cyclotron \u2013 to the building including the beam lines, gantries, nozzles and all their control units.\nOther smaller IBA cyclotrons also play a role in nuclear medicine. For example, the C18-9 is mainly used to produce Fludeoxyglucose (FDG): a radio tracer commonly used in Positron Emission Tomography (PET). FDG is a glucose analogue concentrated in cells where there is a high energy demand such as brain, kidney and, unfortunately, cancer cells. When combined with a CT scanner, PET indicates the precise location of tumours and helps doctors measure important bodily functions such as blood flow. The C18-9 is the most commonly used IBA cyclotron. Also noteworthy are specific projects such as the C70, a multiparticle research cyclotron set up in Nantes in 2008.\nThe heart of a proton therapy centre is the accelerator, which produces a proton beam used to irradiate the cancerous cells. \"To keep the protons on track during acceleration, the 230 MeV cyclotron contains resistive coils generating a constant magnetic field up to 3T \u2013 about 60,000 times the magnetic field of the earth,\" explains Yves Paradis. After a thousand turns in the cyclotron, where the beam is accelerated by an electric field in four accelerating gaps, the protons are extracted and directed into the patient\u2019s tumour by the beam line: a set of bending magnets and quadrupoles keeping the beam on track and focused. The cyclotron delivers protons at a constant energy of 230 MeV, corresponding to a penetration depth of 30 cm into a patient's body. A degrader followed by an Energy Selection System (ESS) is used to modulate the energy from 70 to 230 MeV and, hence, the penetration depth.\n\"Elliptical and spiral shaped\"\nThe magnetic structure of the C230 is quite complex. To compensate for the relativistic effect and maintain a reasonable outer radius, the magnetic field must follow the relativistic factor gamma and thus increase in proportion to the radius. This increase has a defocusing effect on the beam, so the C230 is fitted with spiralled sector-focused poles to counteract this effect. Moreover, the air gap is elliptical to guarantee a homogeneous magnetic field.\nAnd this, you will no doubt have guessed, is where magnetic field mapping comes in. For each IBA cyclotron, the process consists in measuring the vertical magnetic field in the entire air gap and then tuning it by machining the poles. A critical iterative process: \"The final aim of a mapping process is to obtain an isochronous magnetic field,\" explains Yves Paradis. \"But also to pay attention to beam resonances that can occur along the acceleration, trying to avoid them whenever possible or, failing that, crossing them as fast as possible.\" In other words, for a particle to be isochronous it must be in the right place at the right time. The protons must pass through each accelerating gap when the voltage is at its maximum to receive a kick and hence be accelerated.\n22 hours for one map\nA Hall probe is used to record the magnetic field value in a polar manner. The probe is mounted on a shuttle moving along the radius: the shuttle slides along a rail fixed to a wheel centred on the pole \u2013 quite a feat given that the air gap is just 9 mm across at its narrowest point! \"We measure the vertical field component in the entire air gap, with a relative precision of 2x10-5,\" stresses Yves Paradis. To achieve this accuracy, the thermal variations of the Hall probe and the steel have to be measured as well. \"We then use this map to compute the closed orbits and deduce the cuts to be made.\"\nTo guarantee the required precision, the probe is recalibrated before each mapping operation with respect to a Metrolab NMR teslameter, using a so-called calibration magnet. It is also coupled with a temperature probe to compensate for its temperature drift. A typical mapping grid has 200 points on the radius and 180 in azimuth; one radial track every 2\u00b0. \"Each map represents 22 hours of measurements and depends on the grid precision,\" explains Yves Paradis. \"For a 230 MeV cyclotron, between 10 and 13 maps are sufficient to fully tune its magnetic field.\" No need to panic though, everything is automated...\nLast but not least, each IBA ESS has a built-in Metrolab NMR teslameter: coupled with a Hall probe, it constantly monitors the bending magnet responsible for energy selection.",

        "raw_content": "Marathas get 16 percent reservation: All you need to know\nThe Maharashtra Legislature on November 29, 2018 passed a Bill granting 16 per cent reservations to the politically influential Maratha community demanding quotas in education and jobs amidst slogans of \"Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj ki Jai\". The Action Taken Report tabled in the legislature earlier by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said the government proposed to give 16 per cent reservations to the Marathas under a new Social and Economically Backward Class (SEBC) category\nThe Bill was passed unanimously without any discussion, marking a major political achievement in an election year. Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said that the relevant formalities for implementing the quotas would be completed before the model code of conduct for the upcoming 2019 Lok Sabha elections was enforced\nTop leaders of Congress, Nationalist Congress Party and other political parties greeted the development terming it as \"a historic day for the Marathas\" who comprise nearly 30 per cent of the state's population\nMaratha leaders and activists who have been holding protests at the Azad Maidan welcomed the passage of the Bill and raised slogans of Shivaji and \"Jai Marathas\" as they sang and danced and also distributed sweets\nSince the Maratha reservations come under a new SEBC category, they will not affect the existing quotas for Scheduled Castes, Schedules Tribes and Other Backward Classes (SC/ST/OBCs)\nThe State Backward Classes Commission (SBCC) had submitted its report to the state government on November 15, 2018, recommending 16 per cent quotas for Marathas under the SEBC category, without disturbing other existing quotas.\nThe ATR described the Marathas comprise a socially and economically backward class who are without adequate reservations in education and government jobs. Accordingly, they are entitled to the quota benefits enshrined in the Articles 15(4) and 16(4) of the Constitution and the government could initiate suitable measures to address the issues\nThe previous Congress-NCP regime had also made a similar 16 per cent quota proposal but it was stayed by the Bombay High Court. The Marathas have been organising massive silent protests all over the state for nearly two years, including agitations in July-August which had turned violent.\nIn August 2018, the Mumbai police were on high alert and made sure that the peaceful protest didn't turn violent. Barricades were put in order to avoid any untoward incidents that could arise from the peaceful protest. In Mumbai, Shiv Sena legislator Prakash Ambitkar attempted to enter the Maharashtra legislature building but was prevented by the security, and he sat on a dharna opposite the gates\n\"Ek maratha lakh maratha\" was on the top of the voice as members of the Maratha Kranti Morcha staged a peaceful protest in Bandra East amidst police bandobast in August 2018\nThe following are some images from the protests that took place in August 2018. As evident, the Maratha protest was peaceful as heavy security was deployed across the city of Mumbai and other parts of Maharashtra. Government offices, where the staff was on the strike over a salary hike, did not suffer much. While the suburban trains and BEST buses were operating as usual\nWhile the protest was a peaceful one in Mumbai the situation across the state, however, was volatile, with road traffic disrupted and schools remaining shut. Protesters also threw stones at the office of ex-chief minister Ashok Chavan-controlled newspaper Satyaprabha in Nanded and broke its window panes\nThe Maratha community paid tributes to the 21 people who have committed suicide for the cause of Maratha reservation across the state by wearing black badges, armband, and t-shirts during the peaceful protest in Mumbai\nMarathas, a politically influential community that constitutes around 30 percent of the state's population, have been demanding 16 percent reservation. The community members had earlier taken out silent marches across the state to highlight their demands, prominent among them being that of reservation since the past few years\nThe Maratha community has produced 10 out of 18 chief ministers. Collective tenure of chief ministers from the Maratha community spans over 30 years since the state was formed in 1960. The Maratha chief ministers of the past included political heavyweights such as the first chief minister Y B Chavan, NCP supremo Sharad Pawar, Vasantdada Patil, Shankarrao Chavan and Vilasrao Deshmukh\nMaratha voters can influence poll outcomes in around 200 of the 288 Assembly constituencies in Maharashtra. However, the Maratha organisations seeking quota have always averred that its dominance is confined to a small section of the community. A large chunk of Maratha population, dependent chiefly on farming, has been backward both socially and economically, the quota protesters have maintained\nAhead of 2014 Assembly polls, then Congress-NCP government led by Prithviraj Chavan, also a Maratha, granted 16 per cent reservation to the community alongwith a five per cent quota for the Muslims through an ordinance. The ordinance, however, was stayed by the Bombay High Court\nThe campaign for quota intensified after a 14-year-old Maratha girl from Kopardi village in Ahemadnagar district was raped and murdered in July 2016. Subsequently, over 50 silent marches were undertaken by Maratha organisations across the state in 2016 and 2017. The agitation for quota in July 2018 took a violent turn with protesters slamming the government for delay in fulfilling the demand\nAs much as 37.28 per cent Marathas are living below poverty line (BPL) and 93 per cent families from the community have annual income of less than Rs 1 lakh, according to the State Backward Class Commission's recent report. Over 76 per cent of Maratha families are dependent on agriculture and farm labour, and the community has only six per cent representation in government and semi-government services, it said. However, the community has got it's due with the recent judgement\nThe Maharashtra Legislature unanimously passed a Bill granting 16 per cent reservations to the politically influential Maratha community demanding quotas in education and jobs. The Bill was passed unanimously without any discussion, marking a major political achievement in an election year. Here's what you need to know about the bill that was passed, the protests and the Maratha community",

        "title": "STEM Is Not a Threat to a Liberal Education",
        "raw_content": "Defining STEM / STEM By Design\nSTEM Is Not a Threat to a Liberal Education\nOkay, one more time \u2013 let\u2019s try to defog the STEM debate. Misconceptions about STEM education seem to materialize daily, particularly in op-ed columns. I tried to clear the air on this issue in a post titled Six STEM Myths, Misconceptions and Jaw-dropping Whines, but it\u2019s pretty clear that some prominent op-ed writers are not reading this blog (smile).\nFor me, the most astonishing misconception still afloat is the idea that STEM education somehow sabotages other subject areas such as the fine arts, language arts, and humanities.\nIn defense of a STEM education\nAs an example, I\u2019m going to reference a recent post by Fareed Zakaria, a CNN foreign affairs expert, columnist for The Washington Post, and author of the 2015 book, In Defense of a Liberal Education.\nIn his WaPo opinion piece, Zakaria contends that America\u2019s \u201cobsession\u201d with STEM education is dangerous. He begins with this statement, which for him seems to define the STEM initiative: If Americans are united in any conviction these days, it is that we urgently need to shift the country\u2019s education toward the teaching of specific, technical skills.\nSpecific technical skills? Really, Dr. Zakaria? Well, if you limit the definition of STEM education to teaching a set of specific, technical skills it\u2019s no wonder you have problems with the idea. I would, too.\nBut consider this: authentic STEM education focuses on producing students who (1) have a deep understanding of science, mathematics, and technology; (2) are able to integrate and apply that knowledge to problem-solve, create, and innovate; and (3) use engineering design processes to think about and develop solutions for real world problems.\nSo, this is dangerous? Or defined as simply a set of technical skills? Not in my book. Let\u2019s look at a couple of Zakaria\u2019s other statements (in italics):\nNo matter how strong your math and science skills are, you still need to know how to learn, think and even write. Well, of course. And nothing about STEM education prevents that. STEM is not exclusionary! It\u2019s an initiative designed to teach and apply science, math, and technology differently. Students must learn other subjects with equal rigor. I\u2019d even add that all students need to have a background in the arts \u2013 experience in expressing the beauty and the best of what makes us human. Applying exclusionary statements to STEM indicates a real lack of understanding about the vision for STEM education.\nCritical thinking is, in the end, the only way to protect American jobs. Again \u2013 a no-brainer. But to Zakaria, critical thinking is somehow excluded from STEM education. Or can only be obtained apart from STEM education. (This portion of the article seems to equate STEM with computer technology.)\nTo be fair, Zakaria is aiming his article at what he sees as a short-sighted view of education by politicians who want to de-emphasize liberal arts education at the college level in favor of science and math content. That does show their lack of understanding of the value of liberal arts and its critical place in society, but it doesn\u2019t make STEM studies any less valuable to our nation\u2019s well-being.\nIf you read his article, you will agree with much of what Zakaria says about the need for a broad-based education. It\u2019s not that his points are incorrect \u2013 they are mostly on target, in fact. But he builds his case by setting the liberal arts against STEM education \u2013 and a vastly incomplete view of STEM education, at that.\nThe scary thing about his article is that it perpetuates the myth of a face-off between STEM and the liberal arts. And others may begin to apply this kind thinking to K-12 education. Ever heard this kind of rhetoric?\nWe can\u2019t have STEM because that means we have to de-emphasize language arts, social studies, etc. Or,\nWe have to build all of the other subjects into our STEM initiative. (See STEM 2015: Are We Losing Our Focus?)\nNonsense. Let\u2019s try again to clear up the fog of confusion.\nMiddle grades STEM students learning about water quality issues.\nCombine \u2013 Design \u2013 Create \u2013 Solve\nSTEM is an initiative that focuses on combining knowledge from science, mathematics, and technology to solve real world problems using an engineering process. It focuses on math, science, and technology in a different way \u2013 one that prepares students with a variety of 21st century workforce skills, including critical and creative thinking.\nSchools have a curriculum that offers students language arts, history and social studies, fine arts, and a plethora of other subjects in addition to math, science, and technology. STEM education does not replace the other subjects. It does not de-emphasize other subjects. It focuses on science and math, through an engineering lens.\nSTEM relies on the other subjects to join in the task of producing the well-rounded students who can read, write, think critically, and do all of those things that Zakaria identifies as important.\nAs far as building other subjects into the STEM initiative: if other subjects can correlate their curriculum objectives with STEM, then that provides benefits for students as they begin to see connections among all their subjects. However, if you try to build a STEM program that mashes all of the curriculum into one initiative, don\u2019t call it STEM. Call it project-based learning or PBL \u2013 an integrated program that does this quite well when implemented properly.\nDrilling down a little deeper\nZakaria\u2019s quick condemnation of STEM might be understandable from one perspective. If you google \u201cSTEM\u201d you will immediately see that educators and policymakers often slap the STEM label on very traditional science, math and technology coursework. For those who may still think that STEM education is just a new name for old-style curriculum, take a look at what a good K-12 STEM program does:\nInvolves students in compelling real-life problems. Think real social, economic, and environmental situations in their local and extended communities \u2013 clean water, food shortages, increase in diseases, energy shortages, and air quality to name a few. Students can relate to (and get excited about) developing solutions for problems.\nIntegrates and applies science and math grade-level objectives through engineering challenges. High quality STEM curriculum is not math and science \u201clite.\u201d Rather, through authentic experiences, students understand how key science and math concepts are applied in the world.\nUses an inquiry-based, hands-on learning approach that engages students, welcomes their innovative ideas, and allows for multiple possible solutions to problems. STEM education encourages critical thinking and creativity in a low-risk environment where failure is regarded as a necessary part of developing a solution.\nInvolves students in regular collaboration and teamwork to research, brainstorm, plan, design, and create prototypes for their engineering challenge.\nEngages students in testing, analyzing, and evaluating their results; and in using that information to redesign and improve their proposed solutions.\nInvolves students in using a variety of communication approaches to discuss and describe their work.\nInvolves an appropriate use of digital and other types of technology in addressing STEM challenges.\nThese components comprise the acid test for genuine 24-carat STEM. When you hear people disparage STEM as simply a set of technical skills (which, by the way, are valuable skills), or vow that STEM hurts the liberal arts and other programs, please help to clear the fog for them.\nPhoto credits: RDECOM, Engaging Youth through Engineering, CERDEC\nTags: ciritical thinkingCNNFareed ZakariaIn Defense of a Liberal Educationliberal educationmathproblem solvingreal STEMscienceSTEM goalstechnologyWashington Post\nSTEM is VERY important\u2013but let\u2019s not kick learning about history, social sciences, drama, writing, literature, art, instrumental and vocal musics and world languages and cultures. Raising little robots with just STEM classes robs us of beauty and understanding each other in this world, which is necessary on this ever shrinking planet.\nAbsolutely correct, Emily \u2013 that\u2019s what I said in this post. \u201cSchools have a curriculum that offers students language arts, history and social studies, fine arts, and a plethora of other subjects in addition to math, science, and technology. STEM education does not replace the other subjects. It does not de-emphasize other subjects.\u201d \u2026 \u201cStudents must learn other subjects with equal rigor.\u201d I even pointed out that all students need to have a background in the arts \u2013 experience in expressing the beauty and the best of what makes us human.\nI continue to be bewildered by the idea that STEM somehow devalues other subjects \u2013 STEM is simply another and a better way of teaching math and science, and integrating technology. And it is actually probably illegal to teach only Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. Do they do that somewhere? I think you have to teach other subjects as well in K-12 schools. In addition, I enumerated the components of a quality STEM program, which certainly doesn\u2019t produce robots.\nThanks for your response. Continue to beat the drum for a curriculum that honors all subjects and initiatives, and allows STEM to flourish as well.\nGreat post Anne, and I am glad you took on Zakaria\u2019s post. I have a lot to say about this and I think the biggest, simplest take on it is why must it be all or nothing? All STEM, no arts and humanities or vice versa. Nor does it need to be STEAM to include the arts for the sake of the arts. Arts and Humanities education must be. I think we need to teach whole children and all of this stuff is connected. STEM came about because of our low achievement in those content areas and the need to develop a workforce for the future. I am pretty sure that did not mean to create illiterate robots. I think it was to develop an interest and protocol for engineering education that focuses on applied skills and problem solving for the real world. To do that well, both the arts and humanities are needed. The idea of STEAM came (IMHO of course) about because it made tangible connections with content, offers a way to demonstrate knowledge, and may engage those who are reluctant. It gives students of all ages an opportunity to express themselves and learn how things they may like to do can connect to important content, i.e. a job for the future. There are other things: the arts and their relationship to design and solving problems of a wide variety \u2013 from personal to global. STEAM, STREAM or whatever is not to replace those aspects of content. It is to use them and at the same time, create connections for students that they may not realize otherwise. The idea of adding the arts cannot be for only its connection to deepen content understanding. It must be there to allow for curiosity, creativity and inquiry \u2014 I know those are a part of STEM as well, but the arts allow more room for trial and error and are better at building self-confidence. The arts help students understand aesthetic value and give them an opportunity to understand the powerful tool emotion is, and the benefit from those experiences. Communication and collaboration, needed for STEM, are key components of arts experiences. So STEM need not do a disservice to any other discipline. It should not belittle the importance of other content. You cannot \u201cdo\u201d STEM without other content. It seems people need to narrowly define to understand.\nI believe in the value of STEM education. I know it is the direction our country must go to prepare young people for the world to come. It takes important content out of its silos to be memorized. At the same time, I loathe the idea of taking away thought, experiment, and creativity, which in my mind was Zakaria\u2019s interpretation of STEM. I know people do this, but the point is we must fight against the need to categorize everything in such neat boxes. STEM is truly an integrated group of subjects. Break down the walls and let learning, transfer and application of knowledge happen.\nAnne, you are saying the right things, just keep saying them and maybe someday some one will actually read and understand. It is not, was not, and should not, ever be either or. Why should we deprive a child of that discovery?\nAh, Ruth! My favorite STEAM enthusiast! I do so enjoy your work and you make such a good case for enhancing STEM (or any other subject, for that matter) through the arts.(http://www.stemartseffect.com/).\nThank you for your thoughtful response, and I know how much you do value and understand STEM education.\nIn other words, STEM is part of the liberal arts. If maybe we spent more time understanding liberal arts, especially the fact that they have always included and have always been the heart of sicentific and mathematical learning, we wouldn\u2019t need this conversation at all. A true liberal arts education encompasses them all. The question most should ask and research is how we lost track of that fact and now have to re-intoduce STEM as if it were an added element.\nWell, you\u2019re right, of course, Tom \u2013 a liberal education has been more or less synonymous with scientific progress, democracy, culture, society. Within that, room exists for a variety of disciplines. To answer the question you posed, perhaps we lost track of that fact when disciplines became increasingly entrenched in disciplinary silos and out of tune with realities of the 21st century. However, as in the past, liberal education is being reinvented and faculties are designing new curricula and new teaching strategies. Liberal education will survive.\nThe point I was trying to make in my post involves K-12 education. STEM focuses on integrating the disciplines of science and math, intentionally teaching students thinking skills and teamwork, and encouraging innovation and creativity. So I am still confused by those who see this initiative as something that is in opposition to the language arts, history, art, etc. That\u2019s the idea I\u2019m trying to clarify and correct. As you astutely noted \u2013 STEM is part of a liberal education.\nThe point is this: the prevailing attitude on college campuses is that humanities courses are for weaker students, almost guarantee a squalid existence post-graduation, and are a haven for lazy \u201croller skaters.\u201d\nAstonishingly there have been multiple public calls not only to de-fund humanities programs, but to outright eliminate them.\nThis argument really isn\u2019t about taking a critique of STEM programs as a personal attack, but rather to ensure that students who are very gifted and interested in humanities have the opportunity to study them and to do so without wading through a ten foot deep pool of fear mongering and naysayers.\nZakaria comes at a time when the study of humanities desperately needs a champion. I for one do not want to see our schools transformed in \u201cSpacing Guilds\u201d of Frank Herbert fame. That may be science folks idea of a utopia, but it isn\u2019t mine.\nZakaria is a valuable champion for liberal education. I would not like to see the humanities devalued either. I\u2019m simply saying that it\u2019s not necessary to attack STEM \u2013 an approach to science and math that our K-12 system desperately needs \u2013 in order to give value to the liberal arts, including the humanities.\nThanks for point out the need for pumping up support for the humanities as well \u2013 two of my three sons have degrees in the humanities \u2013 the other in computer simulation. They all love their careers. In fact, I have a humanities major as well as a biological sciences major. All people should have a choice.\nDon\u2019t make simple thing too complicated.\nLiberal education includes STEM. All areas of knowledge are important.\nFocusing only on STEM is dangerous. period.\nYes \u2013 focusing \u201conly\u201d on any subject is dangerous. I don\u2019t know of any school that is focusing only on STEM. Schools I know teach all basic subject areas. If they include STEM then they are focusing on combining science and math in a new way \u2013 to solve problems through engineering challenges.",

Toys R Us, Maplin and Poundworld have shut, while big brands such as House of Fraser, Mothercare and New Look are closing stores.\nWhile retailers are being hit by the shift to online shopping, businesses which provide services are proving more resilient.\nAcross the UK the number of beauty treatment salons has rocketed from nearly 27,000 in 2010 to 43,000 in 2017, according to a register of UK businesses produced by the Office for National Statistics.\nThe number of beauty treatment businesses has gone up in all but seven of the 391 local authorities in the UK.\nThe number has more than doubled in 50 local authority areas. In Newham it has nearly quadrupled.\nAn independent review of the high street in July identified this shift on most high streets.\nIt said: \u201cThe traditional anchors of many town centres such as banks, clothing shops and pubs have been closing hundreds of outlets and in the case of banks nearly 2,500. Where these shops have been taken over, they are being filled by health and beauty businesses \u2013 nail salons, tattoo parlours and barbers \u2013 all offering experiences rather than just products.\u201d\nThe report\u2019s author, former boss of Iceland and Wickes Bill Grimsey, said: \u201cNail bars, hairdressers, even spas on the high street are experiential, so they are growing.

It is growing at the moment, and with more and more opening across the country it is yet to reach a consolidation point.\u201d\nBut a tipping point may have been reached in Mid Sussex as the most recent records show that between 2016 and 2017 there were five fewer.\nLucy Stainton, head of retail at the Local Data Company, a business which tracks retail occupancy rates, said one reason for the success of the beauty sector was it provided a more affordable treat for consumers.\nShe said: \u201cWhen money is tight people still want to treat themselves and getting your nails done is a way to do that without spending a larger amount of money on clothes.\n\u201cThese sorts of things can\u2019t be done online, so people looking for experiences will help the high street.\n\u201cIn 2017 alone, we saw 624 new barbers open in the UK. Every sector has its spikes, but I see beauty sector continuing to grow, and it is being quite largely driven by fashion trends and social media.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Exterior of POW Camp 116.\nA prisoner-of-war camp dating to the Second World War is in danger of being demolished. PoW Camp 116 was set up in Hatfield Heath, Essex, in 1941 to house Italian prisoners-of-war, and in 1943 and 1944 it mainly held German and Austrian inmates.\nBut the existence of the camp has been called into question by local developers Pelham Structures, who have drawn up plans to replace it with a new housing development. The plans, submitted to Uttlesford District Council, described the camp as a \u2018a blotch on the landscape\u2019, and suggest replacing it with 40 residential buildings, totalling \u00a38 million in value.\nCamp 116\u2019s rare Laing huts.\nThe site has a rich heritage, conforming to the so-called \u2018Standard\u2019 PoW camp layout. The guards\u2019 compound consists of standard Ministry of War Production (MoWP) huts, while the inmates\u2019 huts are built in the rare timber Laing style. An English Heritage survey rated the camp as \u2018near complete\u2019 in 2003.\nThe camp was decommissioned in 1955, and was then privately owned until it was bequeathed to a beneficiary who sold it to a building company. The company\u2019s proposal to demolish the camp has been met with resistance from members of the local community, who have launched a campaign to prevent the housing development going ahead.\nThe petition to stop the demolition has gained over 2,000 signatures and can be viewed at www.change.org/p/uttlesford-district-council-stop-the-demolition-of-pow-camp-116.\nPrevious article MHM 92 Caption Competition WINNERS ANNOUNCED!\nNext article [Competition closed] MHM 94 Quiz \u2013 win a family ticket to the Battle of Britain Airshow and the Combined Ops Military and Air Show!",

        "raw_content": "27 Jun Meredith Sculpture Walk Brings Art to Outdoor Spaces\nJan and Roger DiTarando stand by the heron sculptures Roger created that were erected in Meredith Bay as part of the Meredith Sculpture Walk. (Photo by Tom Caldwell)\nDowntown Meredith is really getting artsy! In addition to the creative architecture, several art galleries, and unique shops selling beautiful hand-crafted items, this lakeside village is now home to the Meredith Sculpture Walk, an outdoor exhibit that is bringing art to Main Street and the parks along Lake Winnipesaukee. The first pieces have recently been installed around town by the Greater Meredith Program, and folks are already enjoying the new landscape!\nInstallations for the Meredith Sculpture Walk began at the beginning of June, with 13 pieces now on display. By the end of summer, 24 sculptures will be featured in high visibility areas along Main Street, on the grounds of Mill Falls at the Lake, and in the Hesky and Scenic lakeside parks. The Sculpture Walk is set to be a year-round outdoor exhibit featuring work by artists primarily from New England. A jury selected among exceptional works from artists who applied by April 15th, and the pieces will be on display for up to two years, being replaced on a rotating basis each year until the town\u2019s 250th anniversary in 2018.\n\u201cWe think this will be a terrific energizing draw to the downtown area,\u201d said Elizabeth Lapham, Executive Director of the Greater Meredith Program. Lapham\u2019s husband, Bev Lapham, added, \u201cIn the summertime, Meredith grows in population from 6,000 to about 35,000 people. It\u2019s a win-win for the town, it\u2019s great for artists and it\u2019s great for us. It should bring more attention to our beautiful downtown.\u201d\n\u201cRed Wing\u201d by Hugh Gibbons. (Photo courtesy of the Greater Meredith Program)\nProgram officials developed the idea for the Sculpture Walk after being inspired by two art exhibits that were installed by businesses downtown two years ago. \u201cWe realized there was a place for more public art in Meredith,\u201d Bev Lapham said.\nA Greater Meredith Program \u201cjury\u201d chose the art works carefully, explained Bev Lapham. \u201cThe jury was very cautious to avoid anything too controversial, and we made sure not to have too many sharp edges on the sculptures for safety reasons,\u201d he said. Each piece will have a plaque that includes the name of the sculpture along with the artist\u2019s name and contact information.\nBrochures with a walking map will be available when all the sculptures are installed within a few weeks. Visitors can find the brochures at the GMP office, local shops, Meredith Town Hall, and Mill Falls at the Lake, with the possibility of having a kiosk at the beginning of the trail. The Greater Meredith Program also hopes to be able to offer docent tours later in the summer. For now, an opening ceremony and walk are planned for July 28th. The Greater Meredith Program intends to eventually expand the walk to more areas of Meredith, as well.\nArtists are welcome submit work during the next application period in late 2015.

        "raw_content": "MinerGain Forum \u203a Getting Started With Crypto \u203a Investing In Bitcoin, Ethereum and other AltCoins\n11-13-2017, 07:28 PM (This post was last modified: 11-13-2017, 07:29 PM by mjstrand.)\nIn case anyone is interested... Here is a document from the IRS regarding virtual currency.\nThis notice describes how existing general tax principles apply to transactions using virtual currency. The notice provides this guidance in the form of answers to frequently asked questions.\nThe Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is aware that \u201cvirtual currency\u201d may be used to pay for goods or services, or held for investment. Virtual currency is a digital representation of value that functions as a medium of exchange, a unit of account, and/or a store of value. In some environments, it operates like \u201creal\u201d currency -- i.e., the coin and paper money of the United States or of any other country that is designated as legal tender, circulates, and is customarily used and accepted as a medium of exchange in the country of issuance -- but it does not have legal tender status in any jurisdiction.\nVirtual currency that has an equivalent value in real currency, or that acts as a substitute for real currency, is referred to as \u201cconvertible\u201d virtual currency. Bitcoin is one example of a convertible virtual currency. Bitcoin can be digitally traded between users and can be purchased for, or exchanged into, U.S. dollars, Euros, and other real or virtual currencies. For a more comprehensive description of convertible virtual currencies to date, see Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) Guidance on the Application of FinCEN\u2019s Regulations to Persons Administering, Exchanging, or Using Virtual Currencies (FIN-2013-G001, March 18, 2013).\nIn general, the sale or exchange of convertible virtual currency, or the use of convertible virtual currency to pay for goods or services in a real-world economy transaction, has tax consequences that may result in a tax liability. This notice addresses only the U.S. federal tax consequences of transactions in, or transactions that use, convertible virtual currency, and the term \u201cvirtual currency\u201d as used in Section 4 refers only to convertible virtual currency. No inference should be drawn with respect to virtual currencies not described in this notice.\nThe Treasury Department and the IRS recognize that there may be other questions regarding the tax consequences of virtual currency not addressed in this notice that warrant consideration. Therefore, the Treasury Department and the IRS request comments from the public regarding other types or aspects of virtual currency transactions that should be addressed in future guidance.\nComments should be addressed to:\nAttn: CC: PA: LPD: PR (Notice 2014-21)\nor hand delivered Monday through Friday between the hours of 8 A.M. and 4 P.M. to:\nAlternatively, taxpayers may submit comments electronically via e-mail to the following address: Notice.Comments@irscounsel.treas.gov. Taxpayers should include \u201cNotice 2014-21\u201d in the subject line. All comments submitted by the public will be available for public inspection and copying in their entirety.\nFor purposes of the FAQs in this notice, the taxpayer\u2019s functional currency is assumed to be the U.S. dollar, the taxpayer is assumed to use the cash receipts and disbursements method of accounting and the taxpayer is assumed not to be under common control with any other party to a transaction.\nSECTION 4. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS\nQ-1: How is virtual currency treated for federal tax purposes?\nA-1: For federal tax purposes, virtual currency is treated as property. General tax principles applicable to property transactions apply to transactions using virtual currency.\nQ-2: Is virtual currency treated as currency for purposes of determining whether a transaction results in foreign currency gain or loss under U.S. federal tax laws?\nA-2: No. Under currently applicable law, virtual currency is not treated as currency that could generate foreign currency gain or loss for U.S. federal tax purposes.\nQ-4: What is the basis of virtual currency received as payment for goods or services in Q&A-3?\nA-4: The basis of virtual currency that a taxpayer receives as payment for goods or services in Q&A-3 is the fair market value of the virtual currency in U.S. dollars as of the date of receipt. See Publication 551, Basis of Assets, for more information on the computation of basis when property is received for goods or services.\nQ-5: How is the fair market value of virtual currency determined?\nA-5: For U.S. tax purposes, transactions using virtual currency must be reported in U.S. dollars. Therefore, taxpayers will be required to determine the fair market value of virtual currency in U.S. dollars as of the date of payment or receipt. If a virtual currency is listed on an exchange and the exchange rate is established by market supply and demand, the fair market value of the virtual currency is determined by converting the virtual currency into U.S. dollars (or into another real currency which in turn can be converted into U.S. dollars) at the exchange rate, in a reasonable manner that is consistently applied.\nQ-6: Does a taxpayer have gain or loss upon an exchange of virtual currency for other property?\nA-6: Yes. If the fair market value of property received in exchange for virtual currency exceeds the taxpayer\u2019s adjusted basis of the virtual currency, the taxpayer has taxable gain. The taxpayer has a loss if the fair market value of the property received is less than the adjusted basis of the virtual currency. See Publication 544, Sales and Other Dispositions of Assets, for information about the tax treatment of sales and exchanges, such as whether a loss is deductible.\nQ-7: What type of gain or loss does a taxpayer realize on the sale or exchange of virtual currency?\nA-7: The character of the gain or loss generally depends on whether the virtual currency is a capital asset in the hands of the taxpayer. A taxpayer generally realizes capital gain or loss on the sale or exchange of virtual currency that is a capital asset in the hands of the taxpayer. For example, stocks, bonds, and other investment property are generally capital assets. A taxpayer generally realizes ordinary gain or loss on the sale or exchange of virtual currency that is not a capital asset in the hands of the taxpayer. Inventory and other property held mainly for sale to customers in a trade or business are examples of property that is not a capital asset. See Publication 544 for more information about capital assets and the character of gain or loss.\nA-8: Yes, when a taxpayer successfully \u201cmines\u201d virtual currency, the fair market value of the virtual currency as of the date of receipt is includible in gross income. See Publication 525, Taxable and Nontaxable Income, for more information on taxable income.\nQ-9: Is an individual who \u201cmines\u201d virtual currency as a trade or business subject to self-employment tax on the income derived from those activities?\nA-9: If a taxpayer\u2019s \u201cmining\u201d of virtual currency constitutes a trade or business, and the \u201cmining\u201d activity is not undertaken by the taxpayer as an employee, the net earnings from self-employment (generally, gross income derived from carrying on a trade or business less allowable deductions) resulting from those activities constitute self-employment income and are subject to the self-employment tax. See Chapter 10 of Publication 334, Tax Guide for Small Business, for more information on self-employment tax and Publication 535, Business Expenses, for more information on determining whether expenses are from a business activity carried on to make a profit.\nQ-10: Does virtual currency received by an independent contractor for performing services constitute self-employment income?\nA-10: Yes. Generally, self-employment income includes all gross income derived by an individual from any trade or business carried on by the individual as other than an employee. Consequently, the fair market value of virtual currency received for services performed as an independent contractor, measured in U.S. dollars as of the date of receipt, constitutes self-employment income and is subject to the self-employment tax. See FS-2007-18, April 2007, Business or Hobby? Answer Has Implications for Deductions, for information on determining whether an activity is a business or a hobby.\nQ-11: Does virtual currency paid by an employer as remuneration for services constitute wages for employment tax purposes?\nA-11: Yes. Generally, the medium in which remuneration for services is paid is immaterial to the determination of whether the remuneration constitutes wages for employment tax purposes. Consequently, the fair market value of virtual currency paid as wages is subject to federal income tax withholding, Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) tax, and Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA) tax and must be reported on Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement. See Publication 15 (Circular E), Employer\u2019s Tax Guide, for information on the withholding, depositing, reporting, and paying of employment taxes.\nQ-12: Is a payment made using virtual currency subject to information reporting?\nA-12: A payment made using virtual currency is subject to information reporting to the same extent as any other payment made in property. For example, a person who in the course of a trade or business makes a payment of fixed and determinable income using virtual currency with a value of $600 or more to a U.S. non-exempt recipient in a taxable year is required to report the payment to the IRS and to the payee. Examples of payments of fixed and determinable income include rent, salaries, wages, premiums, annuities, and compensation.\nQ-13: Is a person who in the course of a trade or business makes a payment using virtual currency worth $600 or more to an independent contractor for performing services required to file an information return with the IRS?\nA-13: Generally, a person who in the course of a trade or business makes a payment of $600 or more in a taxable year to an independent contractor for the performance of services is required to report that payment to the IRS and to the payee on Form 1099-MISC, Miscellaneous Income. Payments of virtual currency required to be reported on Form 1099-MISC should be reported using the fair market value of the virtual currency in U.S. dollars as of the date of payment. The payment recipient may have income even if the recipient does not receive a Form 1099-MISC. See the Instructions to Form 1099-MISC and the General Instructions for Certain Information Returns for more information. For payments to non-U.S. persons, see Publication 515, Withholding of Tax on Nonresident Aliens and Foreign Entities.\nQ-14: Are payments made using virtual currency subject to backup withholding?\nA-14: Payments made using virtual currency are subject to backup withholding to the same extent as other payments made in property. Therefore, payors making reportable payments using virtual currency must solicit a taxpayer identification number (TIN) from the payee. The payor must backup withhold from the payment if a TIN is not obtained prior to payment or if the payor receives notification from the IRS that backup withholding is required. See Publication 1281, Backup Withholding for Missing and Incorrect Name/TINs, for more information.\nQ-15: Are there IRS information reporting requirements for a person who settles payments made in virtual currency on behalf of merchants that accept virtual currency from their customers?\nA-15: Yes, if certain requirements are met. In general, a third party that contracts with a substantial number of unrelated merchants to settle payments between the merchants and their customers is a third party settlement organization (TPSO). A TPSO is required to report payments made to a merchant on a Form 1099-K, Payment Card and Third Party Network Transactions, if, for the calendar year, both (1) the number of transactions settled for the merchant exceeds 200, and (2) the gross amount of payments made to the merchant exceeds $20,000. When completing Boxes 1, 3, and 5a-1 on the Form 1099-K, transactions where the TPSO settles payments made with virtual currency are aggregated with transactions where the TPSO settles payments made with real currency to determine the total amounts to be reported in those boxes. When determining whether the transactions are reportable, the value of the virtual currency is the fair market value of the virtual currency in U.S. dollars on the date of payment.\nSee The Third Party Information Reporting Center, http://www.irs.gov/Tax-Professionals/Thi...ion-Center, for more information on reporting transactions on Form 1099-K.\nQ-16: Will taxpayers be subject to penalties for having treated a virtual currency transaction in a manner that is inconsistent with this notice prior to March 25, 2014?\nA-16: Taxpayers may be subject to penalties for failure to comply with tax laws. For example, underpayments attributable to virtual currency transactions may be subject to penalties, such as accuracy-related penalties under section 6662. In addition, failure to timely or correctly report virtual currency transactions when required to do so may be subject to information reporting penalties under section 6721 and 6722. However, penalty relief may be available to taxpayers and persons required to file an information return who are able to establish that the underpayment or failure to properly file information returns is due to reasonable cause.\nThe principal author of this notice is Keith A. Aqui of the Office of Associate Chief Counsel (Income Tax & Accounting).

Shepherd at (202) 317- 4774; for further information about information reporting issues addressed in this notice, please contact Ms. Adrienne E.

These are not toll-free calls.\nI wonder what actually could draw an audit to one who didn't report their income from cryptocurrency? Obviously, they said that everything should be reported as well as the salary in the forms W2 and else. But it could be spotted if we speak of dozens of thousands, not some hundreds\nWith all the extra activity that has been happening with exchanges looking for passports, driver licenses, etc - I suspect that if there are not reporting documents going to the government this year, they are definitely headed that way. Obviously addresses are all permanently logged and they kindof tie to each other as we consolidate payments. I suspect that once one transaction goes through an exchange (coming from or going to our bank account), a lot more can be identified by following the block chain. Yes, for smaller numbers with mining earnings only, it is probably pretty hard to track.",

It is serendipitous; as REI and The Mountaineers have a long history of affiliation that dates back almost 75 years. I am proud to be a part that strong history of partnership; as both organizations have been fixated on getting people outside and protecting our wild places for future generations. I am excited to contribute to the continued health of The Mountaineers; as our capacity and potential to deliver on our core purpose is profoundly important to me as an avid outdoor enthusiast as well as an outdoor industry professional.\"\nAt Large Director (2014- 2021)\nSteve has been climbing all over the world for 46 years and retired from a 35-year career as a water resources consulting engineer. He joined The Mountaineers in 2012 when he was the President of the American Alpine Club in order to better coordinate climbing related issues and programs on both a national and regional level.\n\"I joined the board because I\u2019m interested in the challenges facing The Mountaineers to provide instruction to the new generation of climbers who start out in indoor gyms. I\u2019m also interested in addressing the challenges of building a younger and more diverse membership.\"\n'The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.' Pablo Picasso\nSue Labrie\nDirector - Kitsap (since 2016)\nSue moved to the Northwest from New Hampshire with her husband and young children in 1992. They began to camp, hike and backpack to explore this beautiful place and they gained an ever increasing love of the outdoors.\nShe joined the Mountaineers in 2003, initially to take a Sailing Course and then went on to complete Cross Country Skiing, Introduction to the Natural World and Alpine Scrambling. Currently she is actively involved with the Kitsap Branch as Vice Chair, a hike leader, and chair of a newly formed Naturalist Committee.\nWhen she\u2019s not outside exploring the Northwest, she is a Product Developer for Universal Forest Products, a national building products manufacturer, and helps bring innovative new building products to market.\n\u201cI\u2019ve made lasting friendships through The Mountaineers. The courses and activities have taken me to remote and beautiful places which I am sure I never would have experienced any other way. Every journey connects me more to nature, and increases my understanding of how precious and vulnerable our world is. I hope to continue to share this love of the wilderness with others so they too feel this connection and strive to protect and conserve it.\u201d\nmaura rendes\nDirector - Bellingham (since 2019)\nMaura fell in love with the incredible Pacific Northwest outdoors when she moved here after growing up recreating in rural Northern California. After a first decade exploring from home bases in Seattle and Tacoma, she moved to the Bellingham area and joined the Mountaineers. Through the Basic Mountaineering Course and the Bellingham branch, she found instant community and a new backyard with seemingly endless potential for adventure. Now an Intermediate Mountaineering Course student, Maura is honored to represent the branch on the Board of Directors.\nWhen she\u2019s not climbing, trail running, mountain biking, skiing or traveling, Maura works in Communications for the Brand Stewardship and Impact division of REI Co-op. She believes strongly in the transformative power of the outdoors, and loves building strategies, telling stories and bringing people together for experiences that unlock this potential.\nWith the profound ties between the outdoors and physical and mental health, Maura believes that making the outdoors for all is an urgent opportunity. In service to this, she strives to apply lenses of conservation, access and inclusion to everything she does.\nDick Lambe\nDirector - Foothills (since 2017)\nI arrived in the Pacific Northwest in 1979 from Massachusetts via Vermont, Illinois, Alaska and California, and joined the Mountaineers around 1980 to take the Basic Refresher Climbing Course. During a 20 year hiatus from the Club, I was active in a Boy Scout Troop as outdoor activity committee chair and leading backpacking, hiking, canoeing and winter camping trips with my 3 sons, including 8 50-Milers. I rejoined the Club in 2000, and lead backpacking, hiking, skiing, and snowshoeing trips, and served three years as a branch safety officer.\nBefore retiring in 2013, I worked in private practice as construction lawyer for 34 years, using both my SB in Civil Engineering from MIT and JD from Stanford Law School. Retirement allows me more time for skiing, backpacking, hiking, biking, scrambling, and volunteering with the Mountaineers.\nDirector - Olympia (since 2017)\nGreg has been enjoying the mountains since his years with the Boy Scouts in Southern California. He joined The Mountaineers in 2009 to make it easier to meet people who shared this love of the outdoors. Since then, he has completed a number of Mountaineer courses and helped out on several leadership committees including The Mountaineers\u2019 Collaborations Task Force. He has also served as branch chair, MOFA/first aid instructor, and hike leader.\nGreg believes our organization is strong and that our muscle lies in our commitment to quality education, conservation, stewardship and community. As a Mountaineer his focus is to continue efforts to achieve a balance between adult and youth programs, encourage and retain our indispensable volunteers, and strengthen our branches.\nGreg holds degrees from Humboldt State University and the University of Washington. Before retirement from Washington State\u2019s Recreation and Conservation Office, Greg chaired the State Governor's Council on Environmental Education and co-founded the State Trails Coalition. Annually, he helped plan the state trails conference and volunteered with the Big Brothers-Big Sisters organization. During a four-year stint in South America with the Peace Corps, he also helped plan and develop trails and other recreational facilities.\nDirector - Seattle (since 2014)\nPatrick joined the Mountaineers after a precarious ascent of Mt. Shuksan. That trip made it very clear that he had a lot to learn about safe mountain travel. He says, \"I owe a great debt to the Mountaineer volunteers who devoted their time and energy to teach me to be a safe and technically proficient climber and back country skier.\" Patrick has continued his involvement with the organization because he feels an obligation to repay that debt by teaching others what he have learned. Additionally, he is a land use attorney, and has assisted the Mountaineers on numerous land use and environmental issues affecting our present use of natural areas and their preservation for future generations.\n\"The Club's success and longevity are attributable to the hardworking members and staff whose shared vision and collective talents have introduced thousands of people to an outdoor lifestyle and have forged a legacy of environmental stewardship. In my 20-plus years as a Mountaineer, I have watched the Club evolve to meet new challenges and to better serve our members. Whether it is introducing new family-oriented recreation opportunities or commenting on the latest National Park plan, Mountaineers' members are making a difference and ensuring that the Club remains a vibrant force for good in our community. I am proud of the Mountaineers' tradition and my association with this amazing group of people.\"\nRichard Levenson\nDirector - Tacoma (since 2017)\nRichard Levenson joined The Mountaineers in 1978 after years of hitchhiking and backcountry roaming, passed the Basic Climbing Course of that era and began pursuit of a life in the practice of law in Tacoma. Years and many ridgelines and high camps later, Richard re-joined The Mountaineers, took the Basic Climbing Course of the modern era, and got hooked again on the camaraderie and consciousness that is The Mountaineers. Richard brings with him to the Board a bookish skepticism backed by a motivated appreciation for the organization, its people and its goals.\nMatt Vadnal\nDirector - Everett (since 2016)\nMatt Vadnal first joined the Mountaineers in 1980 when he moved from Pittsburgh to explore the mountains and waters of the Pacific Northwest. Job and family obligations curtailed his outdoor activities until 2000 when he became a Co-Coordinator and Lead instructor for Everett\u2019s Nordic Ski Course.\nCurrently, Matt leads hikes and cross-country ski trips. He has completed the following courses: Alpine Scrambling, Avalanche, Back Country Skiing, Basic Climbing, Sailing, Sea Kayaking and Snow Shoeing. From 2005 through 2016, Matt served three \u201ctours of duty\u201d as the Everett Branch Chair.\nDuring his legal career, Matt was a Deputy Prosecuting Attorney for Snohomish County and a Trial Attorney with the U.S. Department of Labor. He also served as a Judge Advocate (JAG) officer in the Army Reserve attaining the rank of full colonel.\nKeely Carolan\nYouth Board Representative\nKen Voeller\nBoard Fellow (2018-2019)\nKen Voeller has been lucky enough to work for some of the most inspiring brands in the outdoor industry including Mountain Hardwear, Clif Bar, Nuun, Bramble, and is currently leading the re-commerce initiatives at REI. He's called the American West home for most of his life, and spends as much as time as possible skiing, biking, and climbing his way through the Cascades Mountains in Washington and the San Juan Mountains in Colorado.\nIsabel joins The Mountaineers with 6 years of experience in general management, financial forecasting, and brand building with a variety of Pacific Northwest organizations, including REI, Nordstrom, and zulily. A UCLA alum, past D1 athlete, and MBA candidate of UW's Foster School of business, Davis brings extensive experience and intensity to the retail industry. Currently, as a Forecast Analyst for REI, she is close to the challenges facing the Outdoor Industry and recognizes the importance of this special industry to the health of the overall economy, public lands, and the next generation. Her expertise has also impacted another special local organization. As a consultant to Washington's Baywater Shellfish, she assists in helping this small business run a sustainable farm and be a leader in the industry's impact on ocean acidification. She is also currently exploring what it could look like for the community she grew up and currently lives in, Bainbridge Island, to bring forth a more diverse and inclusive art community. A passionate outdoor adventurer who recreates with the seasons, she has explored many wilderness areas of the Pacific Northwest and considers the Olympics her home range.\n\"To me, the Pacific Northwest is such a great example of bio diversity, and we are lucky to get to adventure in and appreciate it! As active players in this place that we call home, we also have a responsibility to protect these lands for future generations to fall in love with. I love the challenges we currently face to do just this, and look forward to meeting others who enjoy this part of the world!\"\nPlease see the Staff page for details.\nPublisher, Mountaineers Books",

Now we'll have the chance to hear this genre's most successful solo artist. He has worked with the Rolling Stones and Black Keys and tops the World Music charts. He is Nigerian-born guitarist and vocalist Bombino.\nBorn near the city of Agadez in 1980, Goumour Almoctar taught himself to play guitar listening to recordings of Jimi Hendrix, Dire Straits and Ali Farka Tour\u00e9. He performed with various Nigerian bands and was given the nickname Bombino as he was always the youngest.\nIn 2006, he travelled to America where he had the chance to record a desert blues version of the Rolling Stones classic Hey Negrita, written in 1976 by Jagger and Richards, alongside Ron Wood and Charlie Watts (to which Mick Jagger's harmonica track was added later). The track appears on the album entitled Stones World: The Rolling Stones Project Volume 2. In 2009, he released his first album with a Seattle-based record label. The following year, director Ron Wyman made a documentary about Bombino and also produced an album with him (Agadez). In 2013, Bombino released the album Nomad, which was recorded with Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys in Nashville. In 2016, he recorded his next album, Azel, in Woodstock with Dirty Projectors frontman David Longstreth as producer (with some tracks featuring the Jamaican-inspired Tuareggae sound).\nBombino returned to Africa and his roots to record his most recent album, Deran, in Casablanca, singing in his native Tamasheq.

        "raw_content": "As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I have to take continuing education every licensure period. Despite the fact that I had five years of couple training post graduate school, I am taking Stan Tatkin\u2019s Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy (PACT), and I am very excited about it.\nI want to share an experience I had during training this past weekend. Maybe it will resonate with you. I volunteered to participate in a demonstration of a PACT strategy for dealing with an angry client. I was the wife, and B. was the husband.\nB. immediately started coming on very aggressively. I found that my heart rate started to speed up in response. The more he harangued me, the faster my heart pounded. My hands got cold and sweaty. I put my hands up in front of my heart, trying to energetically and somatically protect myself. That enraged him more. I began to move my chair back, farther and farther. I tried to say that I couldn\u2019t listen/hear him when he was talking to me this way. \u201cYou see, you see,\u201d he said to the therapist (one of our trainers), \u201cI can\u2019t say anything to her, I\u2019ve tried everything.\u201d\nThis went on and on. My fight, flight, or freeze mode was immediately triggered, even though this was \u201conly\u201d a demonstration (that\u2019s what our brains \u2013 the amygdale in particular \u2013 are wired to do). I was shaking by this time.\nI noticed the therapist moving his chair back, farther and farther. Eventually, as B. continued verbally \u201cabusing\u201d me, the therapist got up and walked away, to look at something on his desk. B. didn\u2019t even notice.\nI told B., \u201cOur therapist left the room.\u201d That finally stopped him. The therapist came back (he didn\u2019t actually leave the room, but was doing something at his desk). The intervention that followed was so powerful and that it got B. out of anger mode and slowed him down into his feelings of loss and hopelessness.\nThen B. was more available and less threatening to me. At that point, a useful conversation was able to occur.\nOnce the exercise was over, I had to literally \u201cshake it off\u201d as my system had gone into a full adrenal high \u2013 ready to run if the cheetah chased me \u2013 even though my thinking (neocortex) brain knew it was not real; it was a demonstration. And I said that I would never put up with this shit, with being talked to like that in my life \u2013 not anymore. It reminded me of my mom, sadly.\nI know some of you get into these loops of being the angry partner and the ready-to-run partner. I know your body goes into overdrive, as mine did. I know how dis-regulating it was to both of us, and to both of you. This cycle forces your bodies to create excessive amounts of cortisol, the stress hormone. And excess cortisol over time becomes toxic to your body and brain.\nIt took time for my heart to slow down, my hands to warm up. It usually takes women about 20 minutes, and men 20-30 minutes.\nPlease, if you get into these types of interactions, two things:\n1.\tDon\u2019t talk while you\u2019re calming down. Do talk after 30 minutes.\n2.\tGet help. This is not healthy for you (or your kids if you have them).\nPosted by rich, a resident of Rex Manor,\nSounds like the behavior of \"B\" in that \"demonstration\" was just like a typical boss on a typical day at work.\nI wonder if people who cannot control their reactions when having such an issue with their spouse also have trouble dealing with workplace aggression or other public situations where they face aggression?\nIf a person cannot handle aggression without losing control of themselves then the world is not only a highly stressful place, but it also means such people are vulnerable to anyone who figures this out about them. Once people know you can be shut-down so easily they can use it to manipulate you. If it's your spouse deliberately taking advantage of this, then you've really got a serious problem.\nWhat did the therapist do that converted the behavior of \"B\"?\nPosted by Coupon Pitara, a resident of St. Francis Acres,\nNice Opinion Ms. Chandrama Anderson, I like your article. it's a too informal and helpful for our health.\nPosted by smithamit, a resident of Evergreen Park,\nwow very informative..\nRich, thanks for writing. The therapist got B. out of the content he was going on and on about, and into \"process\" (I know, a therapist term), i.e., what was really underneath the anger and aggression? With most people I've seen, it's usually hurt, sadness or hopelessness. Once the underlying issues come out and get dealt with, the anger evaporates. The therapist used a very soft and compassionate tone, expressing his concerns that B. would end up alone, and he (the therapist) knew that B. could do this differently. Simple. Powerful.",

Its existence has been used to explain a number of seismic observations, such as the D'' reflector and the high degree of seismic anisotropy within the D'' layer. Ionic diffusion in post-perovskite controls its viscosity, which in turn controls the thermal and chemical coupling between the core and the mantle, the development of plumes and the stability of deep chemical reservoirs. Here we report the use of first-principles methods to calculate absolute diffusion rates in post-perovskite under the conditions found in the Earth's lower mantle. We find that the diffusion of Mg(2+) and Si(4+) in post-perovskite is extremely anisotropic, with almost eight orders of magnitude difference between the fast and slow directions. If post-perovskite in the D'' layer shows significant lattice-preferred orientation, the fast diffusion direction will render post-perovskite up to four orders of magnitude weaker than perovskite. The presence of weak post-perovskite strongly increases the heat flux across the core-mantle boundary and alters the geotherm. It also provides an explanation for laterally varying viscosity in the lowermost mantle, as required by long-period geoid models. Moreover, the behaviour of very weak post-perovskite can reconcile seismic observation of a D'' reflector with recent experiments showing that the width of the perovskite-to-post-perovskite transition is too wide to cause sharp reflectors. We suggest that the observed sharp D'' reflector is caused by a rapid change in seismic anisotropy. Once sufficient perovskite has transformed into post-perovskite, post-perovskite becomes interconnected and strain is partitioned into this weaker phase. At this point, the weaker post-perovskite will start to deform rapidly, thereby developing a strong crystallographic texture. We show that the expected seismic contrast between the deformed perovskite-plus-post-perovskite assemblage and the overlying isotropic perovskite-plus-post-perovskite assemblage is consistent with seismic observations.\nEarth science: Our planet's internal weakness.

        "raw_content": "Photo: Around one in 10 children with sensorineural deafness have EVA\nEnlarged vestibular aqueducts (EVA) are also known as:\nwide vestibular aqueducts\ndilated vestibular aqueducts\nlarge vestibular aqueduct syndrome (LVAS)\nlarge endolymphatic duct and sac syndrome (LEDS).\nAll these terms refer to the same conditions.\nWhat are enlarged vestibular aqueducts?\n\u00a9 National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders\nThe vestibular aqueduct is a tiny, bony canal in the temporal bone which connects the inner ear to the brain cavity. It contains a fluid-filled tube called the endolymphatic duct and this connects the inner ear to the endolymphatic sac.\nThe endolymphatic duct and sac contain fluid called endolymph. The endolymph has a unique chemical composition and is essential for normal inner ear function.\nIn the early months of life the vestibular aqueduct is short and wide. It\u2019s usually fully formed at around 3\u20134 years of age when it is narrow, long and J-shaped.\nIn children with EVA their vestibular aqueducts have not fully formed. They remain short and wide and, in turn, their endolymphatic duct and sac are larger than usual. EVA can occur just on one side but is often seen on both sides.\nWhat causes enlarged vestibular aqueducts?\nThere are probably many causes of EVA but at the moment we don\u2019t know what they all are. It can occur alone or sometimes happen as one part of a syndrome.\nEVA is often associated with other structural abnormalities of the cochlea, meaning the cochlea didn\u2019t develop fully before birth. An example of a structural abnormality is a \u2018Mondini malformation\u2019 (Mondini dysplasia) where the cochlea has fewer than the usual two and a half turns that make up its typical \u2018snail shell\u2019 appearance.\nIn some children the condition is caused by a change or fault in the SLC26A4 gene.\nYour doctor may offer a test for this gene. Some changes in the SLC26A4 gene are non-syndromic and not thought to cause any other medical problems.\nOther changes to this gene may result in Pendred syndrome. According to a study by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), approximately one-third of individuals with EVA and deafness have Pendred syndrome.\nAnother syndrome where EVA may be seen is branchio-oto-renal (BOR) syndrome. A genetic alteration in the EYA1 gene causes BOR syndrome although there are other rarer genetic causes as well. For more information on branchio-oto-renal (BOR) syndrome go to www.thecainfoundation.com.\nHow are enlarged vestibular aqueducts diagnosed?\nChildren with sensorineural deafness may be offered a CT or MRI scan. A CT scan will show the bony parts of the ear and the vestibular aqueduct can be seen and measured. An MRI scan will show the soft tissues and fluids so the endolymphatic duct and sac may be recognisable.\nEVA may also be associated with other deformities or underdevelopment of the cochlea and/or the vestibular (balance) organ and these will also be visible on the scan.\nFor further information on CT and MRI scans, as well as other medical tests used to help identify the cause of deafness, read our booklet Understanding Your Child\u2019s Hearing Tests.\nHow common are enlarged vestibular aqueducts?\nIt\u2019s not known how common EVA is in the general population but research suggests that most children known to have the condition will develop deafness. Around one in 10 children with sensorineural deafness have EVA.\nEnlarged vestibular aqueducts and deafness\nWhat type of deafness do children with EVA have?\nChildren with EVA will have a sensorineural deafness that usually affects both ears but can be unilateral (affecting one side). Sensorineural deafness is permanent and most types are stable so that the hearing doesn\u2019t usually change over time. However, in some children with this condition:\ntheir deafness may develop around the time of birth, in the early months or later in childhood\ntheir deafness may be progressive (gets worse over time)\ntheir deafness may fluctuate or change over time\ntheir hearing may fluctuate following relatively minor head trauma\ndeafness, or changes to the level of deafness, may happen suddenly\nthere may be a conductive (middle ear) component to the deafness which may not be the common, glue ear-type.\nDoes EVA cause any other difficulties?\nEVA may also be linked with balance problems (known as vestibular dysfunction). Sometimes the semi-circular canals (vestibular or balance organ) are underdeveloped in a similar way to the cochlea. Some children may experience a feeling of dizziness and imbalance, particularly with minor head trauma; this may occur whether or not the blow has affected their hearing.\nOther children may have very poor vestibular function (vestibular hypofunction), which makes it difficult for them to learn to do tasks that require balance such as sitting and walking.\nHowever, the brain is very good at making up for a weak vestibular system, and most children and adults with EVA don\u2019t have a problem with their balance on a day-to-day basis. Some will only have problems in certain situations such as walking along uneven ground in the dark.\nBalance function assessment, safety advice and specialised physiotherapy may be helpful for children with balance problems due to EVA.\nRead more about deaf children and difficulties with balance.\nHow does having EVA affect the hearing and balance?\nDoctors don\u2019t know exactly how having EVA affects the hearing and balance. The most widely accepted explanation is that rapid fluctuations in pressure in the fluids surrounding the brain result in abnormal transmission of these forces through the vestibular aqueduct.\nThis in turn causes pressure on the delicate membranes of the inner ear, leading to possible damage to the tiny hair cells which convert sound (in the cochlea) or movement (in the semi-circular canals) into the electrical signals which the brain uses to make sense of sound and movement.\nThese changes in intra-cranial pressure (pressure inside the skull) could be caused by head trauma such as a knock to the head, strenuous exercise, vigorously playing woodwind or brass instruments, or changes in atmospheric pressure such as flying in unpressurised aircraft.\nManaging enlarged vestibular aqueducts\nAll deaf children should be offered regular hearing tests. This is likely to be every three months during the first year they wear hearing aids, then every six months until five years of age. From five onwards, they will have annual tests until they leave school.\nIf you notice any changes in your child\u2019s hearing levels in between appointments it\u2018s important to let your audiologist know. Sometimes children with EVA will have sudden drops in their hearing levels. The hearing may return to its previous level, or there may be some improvement to a new \u2018normal\u2019 level. Hearing levels may therefore follow a gradual \u2018step-by-step\u2019 deterioration over time.\nHearing aids are very effective for deafness caused by EVA. It\u2019s important that they are regularly programmed to take account of any changes to the child\u2019s hearing. Some children with severe or profound hearing loss who don\u2019t benefit fully from conventional hearing aids may benefit from cochlear implants.\nGlue ear is a very common childhood condition that can cause temporary conductive deafness. A child with EVA may also have glue ear which may make their hearing levels temporarily worse. It\u2019s important that the audiologist takes this into account when programming your child\u2019s hearing aids to make sure they\u2019re not disadvantaged while they have glue ear.\nYour local audiology and education services should provide support for you and your child. Your audiologist will refer you to a Teacher of the Deaf who will be able to help you with lots of issues related to childhood deafness, such as communication, use of hearing aids and other technology and choosing a school.\nThey\u2019re also responsible for making sure your child has the right support in place at school. You may also be offered an appointment with a speech and language therapist.\nNot every child with EVA will have fluctuating or sudden drops in hearing levels. This means that each child will react in a different way to minor head trauma. The hearing of some children may be completely unaffected where another may have dizziness, tinnitus and/or fluctuating hearing.\nYou\u2019ll need to think carefully when making choices on behalf of your child when they\u2019re young; weighing up the need to protect them from the risk of any knocks to the head or changes in pressure, with allowing them to take part in normal childhood activities.\nUltimately, you\u2019ll only know what will affect your child after it\u2019s happened. We advise you to be cautious, even if your child hasn\u2019t had any problems caused by head injury. Make sure you make decisions with your child\u2019s schools about which sports and activities they can participate in (this may vary depending on your child\u2019s previous history of fluctuations in hearing).\nYour child should avoid activities where risks of blows to the head or increased pressure on the inner ear are certain or very likely, including:\ncontact sports, such as kick-boxing, boxing, ice-hockey and rugby\ngo-karting/quad biking\nsnowboarding bumper cars/roller coasters\nWhen activities may result in a blow to the head but aren\u2019t considered inevitable then you might want to allow them to take part wearing the correct head protection (e.g. scrum caps, helmets, etc.):\nfootball, netball, hockey, squash\nActivities that are generally considered low-risk include:\nFor some children with EVA swimming underwater can be dangerous. These children can become disorientated under water because they don\u2019t know the right way up. All children with vestibular hypofunction must always swim with someone who knows about their difficulties. If your child has poor balance we suggest you discuss the issue with your doctor for advice about safety.\nSupport at childcare or school\nAll deaf children are entitled to additional support at school to help them access learning, however if your child has EVA you might like to think about other types of support they might need for their condition.\nYou might want to think about if they\u2019d benefit from:\nadditional classroom support, such as a classroom assistant, to both help them access the curriculum and avoid tumbles and knocks\nplayground or lunchtime/break assistants to make sure they\u2019re not getting hurt at break and lunchtimes\nan Education, Health and Care (EHC) plan, individual education plan (IEP) or coordinated support plan (CSP).\nAs your child gets older, think about:\nfinding a balance between your child\u2019s emerging independence and the need for caution in play activities\nencouraging your child to take responsibility for their behaviour\nhow or whether your child can take part in sporting activities.\nWhen they reach their teens, think about:\nteaching them how to take responsibility for not putting themselves at risk, for example, by not sitting in a place where there is an increased risk of getting hit on the head\nmaking sure they understand the importance of choosing which sports and activities they take part in carefully, and if they do, wearing head protection\ndiscouraging them from taking part in activities that could be dangerous, such as riding a motorbike.\nVestibular Disorders Association (USA)\nCenter for Hearing Loss Help (USA)",

        "raw_content": "Know Your Repayment Options\nIf your monthly payment is too high, you have several options to reduce your monthly payment, sometimes even as low as $0 a month.\nDownload the Full Guide to Repayment Plans\nQuick Repayment Plan Overview\nThis is the default plan you'll repay your loans on. On this plan, your loans will be repaid in the shortest amount of time when payments are made on schedule.\nThis plan is well-suited for those who expect their income to go up over time. Payments begin low, and increase every 24 payments.\nQualified borrowers receive a repayment term of up to 25 years, and the option for a fixed or graduated regular monthly payment amount.\nThis FFELP loan-only plan lowers payments for 12 months at a time, and has a loan term of five years before defaulting to Standard or Graduated repayment.\nThe four income-driven repayment plans are designed to help make your student loan debt manageable by creating a regular monthly payment amount that fits your income.\nThe most common repayment plan is Standard Repayment. This plan spreads equal payments over your loan term. Generally, this is the most economical repayment plan.\nThe Standard Plan qualifies for Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF). Keep in mind that your required 120 payments for PSLF should be made under an Income-Driven Repayment Plan. Any payments you make under the Standard Plan plan count toward your required 120 payments. However, it requires full repayment in 10 years, and you would have no loan balance left to forgive.\nWith this plan, payments start low and gradually increase over the years. This can be a good choice for those who expect to earn more money as they advance in their careers. Payment amounts increase every 24 months until the loan balance is paid in full. You will pay more interest on this plan than on the Standard Repayment Plan.\nDo you have more than $30,000 in outstanding FFELP or Direct Loans? Then the Extended Repayment Plan may be for you. This plan makes monthly payments more affordable, but it will take a longer amount of time to pay off the loan (up to 25 years), and you will pay more interest. Under the Extended Repayment Plan, you may choose standard payments (equal payments over the payment term) or graduated payments (payments that increase every two years).\nThis plan can only be used for FFELP loans. This plan carries an annual adjustment to your minimum monthly payment based on your monthly gross income. You may choose this plan for up to five years, after which your account will defer to either the Standard or Graduated Repayment Plan.\nIf you need a more affordable monthly payment amount tailored to your income, an Income-Driven Repayment (IDR) Plan could help. Borrowers need to submit their income and family size annually to maintain eligibility. Each of the four plans has unique qualifications for eligibility, and will affect your regular monthly payment amount in different ways. The Income-Contingent Repayment (ICR) Plan, Pay As You Earn (PAYE) Repayment Plan, and Revised Pay As You Earn (REPAYE) Repayment Plan are for Direct Loans only. The Income-Based Repayment (IBR) Plan is for both FFELP and Direct Loans.\nWhen You Can't Pay\nIf you are experiencing financial hardship, are unemployed, decide to go back to school, or are on active duty military service, postponing payments with deferment may be right for you. Depending on your loan type, you may not accrue interest during this period. Log in to your Nelnet.com account to review what deferment options are available for you.\nIf you work an internship, perform certain types of community service, or find yourself experiencing financial hardship, you may be qualified to postpone payments with forbearance. All loans accrue interest during forbearance, so it's smart to pay at least the monthly interest during this period to avoid interest capitalization. Forbearance also resolves any delinquency on the account. Log in to your Nelnet.com account to find out if you're eligible.\nFind Out if Consolidation is Right for You\nYou have multiple loans with multiple monthly payments and servicers\nThe Direct Consolidation Loan program is offered by the U.S. Department of Education to federal student loan borrowers. The Direct Consolidation Loan program allows multiple eligible loans to be consolidated into a single loan, which is then serviced by the servicer of your choosing (which includes Nelnet).",

        "title": "Dave Gibbons On the 'Martha Washington' Omnibus",
        "raw_content": "Dave Gibbons On the 'Martha Washington' Omnibus\nBy Chris Arrant July 23, 2008 05:00pm ET\nGibbons Talks Martha Washington Omnibus\nIn 1990, Frank Miller and Dave Gibbons first introduced the world to Martha Washington in the four issue miniseries Give Me Liberty. Hailed as an apocalyptic tour-de-force from the cartoonist behind The Dark Knight Returns and the artist of Watchmen, Martha Washington struck a chord in comics and was awarded the Eisner for best limited series. Miller and Gibbons followed up the initial miniseries with two more, as well as several one-shots. And now, Dark Horse is bringing all the stories and all the sketches together for a true must-have: The Martha Washington Omnibus.\nWhat is it about, you say? The story is about Martha Washington, growing up in the slums of Chicago in the near-future and falling into the job of being a hero in America's fight for freedom against armies of Fat Boy Burgers, the Aryan Thrust and the sinister Surgeon General. Martha Washington is many things over the course of these published stories \u2013 prisoner, runaway, lunatic, soldier, seditionist \u2013 and it shows a future with a lot of the same problems today\u2026 but with no shortage of explosives and explosive situations.\nWe talked with series artist and co-creator Dave Gibbons by phone on route to San Diego Comicon to find out more.\nNewsarama: Tell us Dave, what all is in the The Martha Washington Omnibus?\nDave Gibbons: Well, it's the complete Martha. It's everything that's ever been in print about Martha. It's the B>GIVE ME LIBERTY, MARTHA GOES TO WAR, MARTHA SAVES THW WORLD, all the short stories in both their colored and black & white versions. Also there are different covers for things and things done for t-shirts. Really, if it's been in print and it features Martha, it will be there.\nIt's going to be done hopefully in \"Absolute\" format. You know, the oversized format like the Absolute Watchmen. There will probably be a slipcased edition of it. It's probably going to come in at about 600 pages. It's amazing that over the years it's come to be so much. It's going to be a hefty book \u2013- you wouldn't want to drop it on your foot.\nNRAMA: Does this include the rare \"Logistics\" story from the action figure released?\nDG: Yes it does. That's going to be in there, in its correct order. Everything's going to be chronologically placed, irrespective of when it was published because in fact \"Logistics\" takes place before the story that was published earlier. So we made sure everything was in the right order so it can be read as a consistent story and all the covers will be in there as well.\nNRAMA: Tell us about the new material in the book.\nDG: Well, the are some unpublished pages for Martha. Try-out stuff, sketches and various stuff that for one reason or another didn\u2019t make it into print. Stuff that was drawn in a different format. Basically, whatever I've been able to find in my file drawer. And rather like I'm doing with the Watching The Watchmen book, there will be some narrative and background material as to how Frank and I actually came to dream the whole thing up and the conversations that we had. Examples of Frank's notes and concepts and everything like that.\nNRAMA: It's been 18 years since this series first debuted -- but when did it originally begin for you and Frank?\nDG: Gosh, it was some time after he'd done Dark Knight Returns and I'd done Watchmen and it was an obvious thing really. We'd got to know each other quite well, and one day one of us said \"wouldn't it be really good to do something together?\" And it kind of all sprang from that.\nIt started with the germ of an idea from Frank \u2013 kind of a synopsis of a few possible scenes. I did some sketches and then Frank took it and very much ran with it and wrote a full script. That was adapted and the book was done at different lengths. There was a lot of too-ing and fro-ing and a lot of adjusting until we came up with the final format of it.\nNRAMA: Given the upswing in Hollywood studios taking comics to film, what do you think our chances are of a Martha Washington film?\nDG: Well, I would imagine quite good. This is very much Frank's end of things, but I would think given his track record and my name is going to be on the Watchmen film in some capacity. I would think that it's very possible.\nI'm looking forward to meeting Frank in San Diego Comicon for the first time in a long time. So when we have a chance to speak, maybe I'll know more after that. Looking at the subject matter, it's very strange the way politics kind of go around the block and back again. With the American forces trying to keep peace in the world is as topical today as it was when Frank wrote it back in the '90s.\nI still think there's a bit of satire and adventurous fun to be had with it all.\nNRAMA: The last MW comic was 2007's Martha Washington Dies one-shot, which left open the possibility of more stories. Should we get our hopes up?\nDG: Thanks really up to Frank. I thought that the story really was the perfect capstone on everything that we'd done. It left so much to the imagination and I think did provide definite closure and ending to it. Although it may be \"Martha Washington 3 Goes To War\" or \"Martha Washington 8 Against the Barbarians\" or something like that. As far as I'm aware, Frank doesn't have plans to do that but.. you never know. In comics you can never say never.",

        "raw_content": "The Right Tools for Daytime Meditation\nIn today\u2019s world of chaotic schedules and fast-paced lifestyles, many people look for ways to better manage their stress levels. Meditation is an amazing way to feel balanced, decrease anxiety and irritability, and add a sense of peace to your daily routine. Those who meditate on a regular basis experience a stronger sense of self, increased energy, and more positive relationships. If you\u2019re looking for a way to restore balance into your hectic schedule, meditation is a wonderful option.\nSome call meditation \u201cmental hygiene,\u201d as it helps relax the mind and clear the brain of negative feelings. Mental benefits of meditation include:\nEmotional balance and harmony. Meditation allows an individual to clear his or her brain of negative emotions. By allowing the mind room to breathe, we gain greater control over our emotions. When we have more control over our emotions, we develop the ability to maintain an optimistic attitude, and allow ourselves to see the beauty of the world.\nDecreased anxiety. Often we feel anxious because we are constantly worrying about the future or dwelling on the past. Meditation urges us to focus on the present. By training our brains to be mindful, we start living in the moment, and don\u2019t feel anxiety or depression over the past or future. Those who practice meditation regularly learn to balance their stressors with a calm mind.\nMore positive relationships. Good energy is contagious. When you meditate, you allow yourself to develop a calmer approach to life, and are more understanding when communicating with your loved ones. Meditation leads to an increased level of patience and strengthens communication, allowing you to express your feelings in a calm and collected manner.\nStronger sense of focus. By clearing your mind, you enable yourself to focus on one task with extreme attention to detail. Through meditation you can approach your schoolwork, assignments, and projects with a higher level of concentration.\nIn addition to the mental benefits, there are several physical rewards that come with practicing meditation. These include:\nDecreased tension-related pain. Meditation helps to relieve physical tension, too! Through meditation, you decrease your chances of experiencing ulcers, tension headaches, insomnia, and joint problems.\nIncreased serotonin levels. Meditation releases serotonin, or the body\u2019s \u201chappy chemical.\u201d A happier brain means a happier you!\nIncreased levels of energy. Meditation allows you to tap into your own energy, creating more awareness throughout the entire day.\nMeditation is so easy that you can do it from the comfort of your own home. To get started with daytime meditation, you\u2019ll need to find a quiet place where you won\u2019t be disturbed. Sit upright on a pillow, with your legs crossed and your arms relaxed on your thighs. There are several pillows available specifically for meditation practice, or you can use whatever is available in your home.\nWhile some people enjoy meditating in silence, others prefer simple background music to help ease the brain into a state of mindfulness. There are CDs featuring natural sounds or calming music that are wonderful tools for meditative practice.\nSome people find it beneficial to block out light when meditating. In this case, a nodpod sleep mask for women and men would be very helpful. In addition to blocking out any extra light, this sleep mask for women and men helps relax the eye muscles and provides a release of serotonin and melatonin. By finding a state of peace, you allow yourself to meditate effectively. There\u2019s no \u201cright\u201d way to meditate; simply find the way that works best for you, and allow your mind to relax.\nBy finding the proper tools to meditation, you allow yourself to fully experience the benefits of this amazing practice. Find the right pillow, music, and sleep mask for women and men, and allow yourself to drift into a place of utter relaxation.",

        "raw_content": "E-government booming\nonline services for citizens provided by public administration institutions are in demand. One of the latest examples is the German Federal Government\u2019s plan to abolish the paper Lohnsteuerkarte (income tax card) and replace it with an electronic version by 2011. Almost one in three people between 16 and 74 already use online services provided by Germany\u2019s administrative authorities. 38 per cent of Internet companies in Germany believe that this trend will continue to grow. Governmental services for businesses are also on the rise. 30 per cent believe that the number of services available will grow over the coming twelve months. These are the findings of the Internet World Business Trendscout \"E-Commerce Industry Development\" published by novomind AG in conjunction with Internet World Business.\nAuthorities are concentrating too little on communication\nThe potential for creating closer ties with citizens using Internet services is considerable - and far from exhausted. Many authorities are still restricting themselves to information services such as downloadable forms and information input screens. The drawback is that citizens have to print these documents out first, then submit them by post. Very few authorities are actually providing a direct line into their offices, around the clock and via a range of different channels. The main forms of communication are still the letter, telephone, fax and e-mail. Real-time advisory services by virtual employees and online chats with officials, such as those provided by the Deutsche Rentenversicherung Bund, are only just starting to emerge.\nVirtual consultants successful in Germany\u2019s administration\nState facilities at a Federal and state level are an exception to this. There, more and more digital helpers are taking up their posts so that citizens are not left standing outside online doors. For example, visit www.die-gesundheitsreform.de and find out all about the new 2007 German health reforms from Clara, the virtual consultant. The German Bundestag created an online cartoon character for its website. During the 2005 elections, a virtual eagle, symbol of Federal Germany, informed users about the general electoral proceedings, and today continues to provide information on the subject of elections and the Bundestag, Germany\u2019s lower house of parliament. The Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (Bundesministerium f\u00fcr Wirtschaft und Technologie, BMWi) also opted for a virtual employee some years back: at the BMWi\u2019s website, \"Luca\" helps young people make choices about their careers.\nPositive effects: closer links with citizens and lower costs\nThe level of acceptance of online services among the population is high - and rising - indicating that the future belongs to electronic communication with the populace. Authorities which have picked up on this trend have demonstrated transparency and accessibility by activating additional services on the Internet. This also provides an opportunity to cut costs, since procedures can be processed more quickly and are automated. One key challenge facing public administrators is how to enable multi-channel communication with the populace. People can then decide for themselves whether to conduct online visits to the authorities by e-mail, fax, live-chat or virtual consultant.\nThe Internet World Business trend scout presents the results of an online survey conducted for novomind AG in collaboration with Internet World Business. The data was collected in the period from 12 to 20 June 2007. A total of 171 skilled and management personnel employed in Internet business took part in the survey.",

        "raw_content": "With Shuttles Gone, Private Ventures Give Florida's Space Coast A Lift : All Tech Considered Five years after NASA's shuttle program ended, a new Florida aerospace industry is beginning to take shape. Firms, from those making jets to tiny Internet satellites, are adding factories and jobs.\nWith Shuttles Gone, Private Ventures Give Florida's Space Coast A Lift 3:51\nBrazlian jet maker Embraer employs about 600 people in Melbourne, Fla., and is expanding.\nIt has been five years since NASA retired the space shuttle, ending a federal program that employed some 10,000 people around Cape Canaveral, Fla.\nThe loss of those jobs was a blow to Florida's Space Coast, an area closely identified with NASA and the nation's space program. But the region's economy is bouncing back and attracting companies that are in a new space race.\nIn fact, it might be more accurate now to call it the Aerospace Coast. In 2009, the Brazilian jet maker Embraer gave this region a boost when it broke ground on its plant in Melbourne, Fla.\nPlant director Phil Krull is proud of the spacious, remarkably quiet production area. A few air drills and some occasional clangs sound. \"This is about as noisy as you're going to hear out here,\" he says as he walks through the plant. At least a dozen small jets are in various stages of assembly. Krull says all the parts are shipped from Embraer's home facility in Brazil.\nSpaceX Lands Falcon 9 On A Barge At Sea (Again)\nEmbraer employs about 600 people here and is expanding. Its main product is the Phenom 300, the best-selling business jet in the world. \"It's a workhorse,\" Krull says. \"The skins are thicker than our competitors'. But it's just a great design.\" And it comes with a price tag of about $10 million each.\nEmbraer was lured to Melbourne by generous incentives and a talented workforce. The company hired engineers and technicians who used to work on the defunct shuttle program. When the program ended, several thousand people found themselves out of work, just as the recession began.\n\"Having both at the same time, I don't think you could probably pick a more severe circumstance,\" says Lynda Weatherman, who heads the region's economic development commission. \"We had an unemployment rate that was near 12 percent and that's a lot.\"\nSince then, the Space Coast has attracted companies that don't just launch from here, but also do research, development and manufacturing.\nThe Orion crew module, built by Lockheed Martin, is seen Feb. 3 at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Fla. John Raoux/AP hide caption\nThe Orion crew module, built by Lockheed Martin, is seen Feb. 3 at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Fla.\nLockheed Martin and Boeing started that trend when they won contracts to build the next generation of NASA spacecraft. Lockheed is working on the Orion deep space mission. Boeing is building a commercial crew capsule to service the International Space Station.\nWeatherman says those contracts sent an important message to people and companies on the Space Coast: \"There was a second act for space.\"\nBillionaire Jeff Bezos gave the region a lift last fall when he announced he was bringing his Blue Origin company to the Space Coast, along with a $200 million plant and more than 300 jobs. It will be part of a complex for commercial space companies just outside the gates of Kennedy Space Center.\nAmazon's Bezos Plans To Build, Launch Rockets From Florida\nAt an event with Florida's Gov. Rick Scott on hand, Bezos said: \"We're not just launching from here. We're building here.\" Blue Origin will be launching its rockets from Cape Canaveral by the end of the decade, carrying commercial payloads and eventually, Bezos says, space tourists.\nAnother space startup, OneWeb, recently announced it's coming, too, building an $85 million manufacturing plant. Founder Greg Wyler says his company will build at least 900 small satellites that when launched will provide high-speed Internet service around the globe.\n\"We're building satellites not like artisanal pieces but we're building them more like medical or aviation products,\" Wyler says.\nCrafting Shuttles: Labor Of Love, Vanishing Art\nAdd these jobs to others at companies like Northrop Grumman, which recently won the Air Force contract for the next generation stealth bomber, and officials here say the Space Coast has recovered most of the jobs lost at the end of the shuttle program.\nAfter years of depending on government contracts, the region is now just beginning to tap the commercial space industry's potential.\nDale Ketcham, with Space Florida, a state agency focused on attracting aerospace ventures, says over the next 10 years, NASA has just two launches planned. But over that same time period, he says, \"You're probably going to see a couple of hundred commercial launches. So that's the growth opportunity.\"\nSome of the startups hope eventually to get a big financial return from mining asteroids. With SpaceX and other companies now sending up rockets, Cape Canaveral last year had 17 launches, its busiest year since 2003.",

General HH Sheikh Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior for his patronage, support and constant follow-up, which had a prominent role in the success of Aqdar World Summit.\nAt the conclusion of the three-day event, participants issued the \u201cAqdar Global Declaration on Human Empowerment in Developing Stable Societies\u201d. Addressed to states, governments, communities and relevant institutions, the declaration called for concerted efforts to inculcate a deeper understanding of sustainable development goals (SDGs), and to adopt these goals as a key pillar to empower minds and eradicate extremism.\nThe declaration called for leveraging the experience of the late Sheikh Zayed in human empowerment and to develop the right mechanisms to share the Aqdar World Summit initiative globally through a variety of events.\nThe declaration recommended establishing an international committee to follow up on the implementation of the summit\u2019s outcomes and to develop relevant plans and executive programs.\nUAE Ministry of Interior\u2019s General Secretariat\nSecurity Media Department\nRaed Al Ajlouni, +971504702790\nAmanda Ayass, +971567225338\npress@securitymedia.ae\nFollow us on: Twitter | Facebook | YouTube | Instagram | Google +",

        "raw_content": "The northernmost state of Alaska is known for its stunning coastland, thriving big cities, chilly inland temperatures and small population in comparison to its enormous size. A lot of people in the \"Lower 48\" states believe Alaska is nothing more than a freezing tundra, but few realize temperatures can be quite mild in the Panhandle, as well as in the Anchorage area, where most of the state's population lives. It is also beautiful, with scenic waterfalls, glaciers and other natural wonders, making it a great place to live. While the cost of living is high, professional salaries for nurses are also higher in Alaska as a result\u2014few states pay their nurses more than Alaska does. Alaska is also a great place to launch a nursing career due to a persistent nursing shortage. Travel nurses are especially in demand to help meet staffing needs; these nurses can earn 20-30 percent more pay than the average staff nurse, because the demand for nurses is so high here. The unemployment rate in Alaska was also lower than the national average in April 2010.\nAlaska has a vibrant health care community, and qualified nurses are very much needed in hospitals, outpatient clinics and in health care centers for Native Americans in Alaska. The most in-demand jobs are concentrated in and around the major metropolitan areas at Anchorage, Fairbanks and Juneau. The good news for nurses is that the largest private employer in Alaska was Providence Health & Services, which includes Providence Alaska Medical Center in Anchorage. The hospital and its associated health care centers keep a good many nurses in Alaska gainfully employed. Nurses in the state can get information about state licensure through the Alaska Board of Nursing. Alaska's nurses are represented by a professional organization called the Alaska Nurses Association, where nurses can search for jobs, find continuing education opportunities and even connect with other nurses.\nSchool Name: Alaska Vocational Technical Center\nAddress: 809 Second Avenue, Seward, Alaska 99664-0889\nWebsite: www.avtec.edu\nSchool Name: University of Alaska Anchorage\nAddress: 3211 Providence Drive, Anchorage, Alaska 99508\nWebsite: www.uaa.alaska.edu\nSchool Name: University of Alaska Southeast\nAddress: 11120 Glacier Highway, Juneau, Alaska 99801-8697\nWebsite: www.uas.alaska.edu",

        "raw_content": "Joshua A. Thompson is bringing together musicians Premium Blend, Bashiri Asad, Manon Voice, Chandra Lynch and Uzuri Asad for Village Voices: Notes From the Griot.\nVillage Voices shares the unsung voices of Black composers and musicians\nFor Joshua A. Thompson, Black History Month has traditionally been a time for personal research. The classically-trained pianist spent prior Februarys digging into the stories of unsung Black composers and musicians. This year Thompson decided to take his research to the stage, recruiting an all-star crew of Indianapolis musicians, dancers, poets, and visual artists to create Village Voices: Notes From the Griot. With a cast including Premium Blend, Bashiri Asad, Manon Voice, Chandra Lynch and Uzuri Asad, Village Voices creates a tableau of the Black experience in America through dynamic live performances.\nI recently caught up with Thompson during a rehearsal for the show.\nKyle Long: Tell us what inspired you to create Village Voices: Notes From the Griot, and what you\u2019re hoping audiences will take from this production?\nJoshua Thompson: Classical music, or orchestral music has always been the genre that\u2019s found a way into me. So I spend my time learning and listening to classical pieces. But in 30 years of being a student of the piano, I can literally count on one hand the times I\u2019ve been given a piece of classical music that was written by an African-American, or even a person of color period.\nIn my music education I was a student of piano and trumpet for over 15 years before I ever had an instructor who was a person of color. So psychologically, I think that\u2019s a little bit mind-numbing for someone who is growing up playing a genre where there\u2019s such a giant vacancy in representation for individuals who are musicians of color.\nIt\u2019s not that the works aren\u2019t there, but they weren\u2019t presented to us. So I said to myself, \u201cIf you spent the last 30 years learning works of Europeans, you can definitely spend the next year learning the works of African Americans and people of African descent.\u201d\nSo that\u2019s what I did. I literally went on a listening tour, found music that I liked, and learned to play it. I thought it would add to the experience if I brought other people in who work in genres that are more familiar, and may seem closer in proximity to what we consider to be a Black community experience.\nThe whole point is to highlight unsung and underperformed artists, and that spans so many different genres. We\u2019re casting a wide net and trying to cram in as much as we can in about two hours.\nKyle: To help shape this idea into a theatrical presentation you turned to playwright Megan Simonton.\nJoshua: When I had this idea in my head, I had the first couple scenes. I explained it to Megan and said, \u201cYou take it from here.\u201d She did, and she created a really amazing script that\u2019s not trying too hard to be something it\u2019s not.\nKyle: Specifically, who are some of the under-appreciated figures you are celebrating in Village Voices?\nJoshua: For me personally, I fell in love with William Grant Still. He was a composer and pianist in the 20th Century. He does a really good job of taking classical piano and mashing it up with jazz and Negro spirituals, and otherworldly sounds.\nI\u2019d be remiss if I did not bring up Margaret Bonds. She is a woefully under-celebrated composer. She was a graduate of the Juilliard School of Music, and definitely did not get her due. There\u2019s a piece by her called \u201cTroubled Water\u201d that I absolutely love.\nTo bring things more into the modern era, we\u2019re also highlighting and celebrating the amazing work of Cassandra Wilson. A lot of people don\u2019t understand just how influential she is.\nFinally what we have to do is make sure that people understand that the artists performing in Village Voices need to be recognized in their own right. We have to highlight local artists creating work now and adding to the canon. We\u2019d do them a disservice if we didn\u2019t add their contribution.\nSo let\u2019s honor what is past, and let\u2019s honor what is present, so we can figure out where we\u2019re going in the future as a community and as individual artists as well.\nAudiences will have several chances to catch Village Voices this month, upcoming performances include:\nThe Eiteljorg Museum (Feb. 10, at 1 p.m., FREE)\nCentral Library (Feb. 19, at 6 p.m., FREE)\nJewish Community Center (Feb. 22, at 7 p.m., $7-20)\nTheater at the Fort (Feb. 24, at 7 p.m., $12-20)\nJoshua A.

Then he drove to Plumb Beach for what he thought would be a sexual encounter with one man.\nCity Council Speaker Christine Quinn (D-Manhattan) lauded the police and district attorney for recognizing the assault as a hate crime and leading a successful prosecution.\nA Brooklyn jury convicted Anthony Fortunato, 20, of manslaughter as a hate crime on Thursday.\nHis friend John Fox, 20, was found guilty of the same crime the week before.\nA third suspect is awaiting trial, and the fourth suspect has been cooperating with prosecutors.\n\"He always followed his dreams,\" Sandy's mom said yesterday before the ceremony. \"He wanted to live life at its fullest.\"",

        "raw_content": "Archives|Review/Television; 4 Weeks Probation for Police Drama\nhttps://nyti.ms/29iVrMC\nReview/Television; 4 Weeks Probation for Police Drama\nBy JOHN J. O'CONNOR JAN. 6, 1994\nBarry Levinson's \"Homicide: Life on the Street\" is television's other great new cop show. But while Steven Bochco's \"N.Y.P.D. Blue,\" with its \"viewer discretion advised\" tag, has settled securely into its Tuesday slot on ABC, \"Homicide,\" not especially interested in nudity, has had a shakier time on NBC. Despite very favorable reviews about a year ago, \"Homicide\" had weak ratings and slipped into the limbo called hiatus. It's now back for a four-week run that will seal its fate. Don't miss it.\nNBC is giving the series a strong time slot, Thursdays at 10 P.M., immediately after \"Seinfeld\" and \"Frasier,\" in the \"L.A. Law\" slot. And the producers of \"Homicide\" are clearly going for broke, with strong scripts and powerful performances. The feel of the show is less jittery; hand-held cameras and microediting techniques are less intrusive. There's more of a willingness to let the actors control the scenes, and, this being one of the strongest casts on television, they perform brilliantly as members of a police homicide unit in Baltimore.\nAll four new episodes are quite good, but tonight's, directed by Stephen Gyllenhaal (\"Waterland,\" \"Paris Trout\"), is extraordinary. The episode is about a tourist from Iowa who, with his two children, watches in horror as his wife is murdered during a daytime family outing. The tourist, Mr. Ellison, is played by Robin Williams in a memorably wrenching turn.\nThe senselessness of the incident is heartbreakingly captured. One moment, Mr. Ellison is walking happily with his family; the next, he's trapped in a nightmare, stunned and at the same time struggling to comfort his children. Overhearing one detective (Daniel Baldwin) joking, he explodes, threatening to file a complaint. The squad chief (Yaphet Kotto) quietly explains that bitter jokes are one way of dealing with the pressure of working in homicide. \"He's here to solve the case,\" the chief says, \"not to grieve.\"\nGentle, even somewhat timid, Mr. Ellison has joined what he calls America's \"secret society\" of crime victims. His own survival carries an element of guilt, a nagging feeling that he should have done something to save his wife. He will spend the rest of his life reliving the moment in which, he says, \"all I saw was the gun.\" Meanwhile, the prime suspect turns out to be a young man whose aunt, unable to believe he did it, describes him lovingly as having been \"a very sensitive child.\" In the end, there is no comfort for anyone in this world of random violence.\nRegular members of the \"Homicide\" cast have varying degrees of prominence in each episode. They are, in alphabetical order, Mr. Baldwin, Ned Beatty, Richard Belzer, Andre Braugher, Clark Johnson, Mr. Kotto, Melissa Leo, Jon Polito and Kyle Secor. This is an outstanding ensemble.

        "raw_content": "Mr X and The Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection(FOI Act 2014)\nWhether the Department was justified in refusing to release CCTV footage of the applicant taken in an office of the Department under section 37(1) of the FOI Act on the ground that the release of the record would involve the disclosure of personal information relating to individuals other than the applicant\nOn 5 September 2017, the applicant sought access to a copy of CCTV footage of himself in a particular office of the Department on a specified time and date. In its decision of 28 September 2017, the Department refused the request under section 37 on the ground that granting the request would involve the disclosure of personal information relating to individuals other than the applicant.\nIt appears the applicant did not receive the Department's original decision and on 5 October 2017 he sought an internal review of what he considered to be a deemed refusal of his request. On 20 October 2017, the Department affirmed its original decision to refuse the request under section 37, following which the applicant sought a review by this Office of that decision.\nI have decided to bring this review to a close by way of a formal binding decision. In conducting the review, I have had regard to the correspondence between the Department and the applicant as outlined above and to the correspondence between this Office and both the Department and the applicant on the matter.\nThis review is concerned solely with whether the Department was justified in refusing to grant access to the CCTV footage sought under section 37 of the FOI Act.\nIn a submission to this Office, the Department stated that the CCTV footage in which the applicant appears is almost one hour long, and that 60 to 70 members of the public appear in it. It stated that the applicant appears in all of the footage. Having regard to the nature of the request and the description of the footage sought, I am satisfied that the release of the footage would involve the disclosure of personal information relating to individuals other than the requester and that section 37(1) applies.\nThe question I must consider is whether the public interest in further enhancing the transparency and accountability of the Department is sufficient to outweigh, on balance, the privacy rights of the third parties concerned. In my view it is not, given the inherently private nature of the information that would be disclosed relating to individuals other than the applicant. It is also noteworthy that the release of a record on foot of a request made under the FOI Act is, in effect, regarded as release to the world at large, given that the Act places no constraints on the potential uses to which released records released may be put. I therefore find that section 37(5)(a) does not apply in the circumstances and that the CCTV footage is exempt under section 37(1) of the FOI Act.\nFor the sake of completeness, I should address the applicant's argument, as set out in his application for review, that he sought only his personal information and that he was not offered the option of redacted CCTV footage.\nSection 2 of the Act defines \u201crecord\u201d as including \u201ca copy or part\u201d of anything falling within the definition of a record. Section 18(1) provides, that \"if it is practicable to do so\", access to an otherwise exempt record shall be granted by preparing a copy, in such form as the head of the FOI body concerned considers appropriate, of the record with the exempt information removed. However, this Office has previously taken the view that being \"practicable\" necessarily means taking a reasonable and proportionate approach in determining whether to grant access to parts of records.\nI do not accept that the fact that it might be possible to redact a record means that the public body must always do so. The FOI Act recognises that there are limitations on the resources, both financial and non-financial, a public body must expend in processing requests. In this case, the Department simply does not have the necessary facilities required to allow it to prepare a copy of the record with the exempt information removed in order to grant the request.\nIt is noteworthy that section 17(4) of the Act, which is concerned with the release of electronically held information contained in a number of records, requires a body to take reasonable steps to extract that information, but only in so far as those steps involve the use of any facility for search or extraction that existed on the date of the request and was ordinarily used by the body. In other words, the body is not required to extract the data if a facility that it does not ordinarily use is needed in order to do so.\nIn all of the circumstances, I am satisfied that section 18(1) does not require the Department to provide a redacted version of the record sought in this case.\nI note, nevertheless, that the Department has since received an estimate of the cost involved in pixelating the CCTV footage required and that it has informed the applicant that it is willing to release it if he is prepared to pay the cost of preparing the footage for release. While I am satisfied that the Department was justified in refusing the applicant's FOI request, it remains open to him to accept the Department's offer, albeit within the limited time frame specified by the Department.\nHaving carried out a review under section 22(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2014, I hereby affirm the Department's decision to refuse access to the CCTV footage sought under section 37(1) of the FOI Act.",

        "raw_content": "Loaded with options and what's is believed to be 73,000 actual miles on the odometer, this Nomad is certainly something special. Doesn't it look great in Colonial Cream and Onyx Black?\nNomad was the name given to Chevrolet's 2-door station wagon and was part of the Bel Air series and their 'sporty' looking wagon. So strictly speaking it is a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Nomad. It was the most expensive Chevrolet available (with the exception of the Corvette) and the rarest.\nThere was also a 4-door wagon available which was known as the Bel Air Townsman. More than 21,000 more of these were sold than the Nomad - that's over 4 times many. This was much to do with people finding four doors more convenient and it was over $200 cheaper!\nOften credited as the work of Harley Earl, the Nomad was actually the creation of Chevrolet studio head Clare MacKichan.\nInside the interior enjoys all the benefits of the Bel Air. A workhorse it may be, but you still traveled in style. Seven different color combinations were available. This particular Nomad uses yellow vinyl with black and yellow pattern cloth.\nBel Air luxury interior appointments\nIt would have been an expensive car for Chevrolet to build because it had so many body and trim parts that were unique to it.\nUnder the hood of this Nomad is a 283 cubic inch Super Turbo-Fire V8 with 4-barrel carburetor producing 220 horsepower. It was brand new for 1957. This is paired with a Powerglide automatic transmission - a combination that would have cost an additional $365 over the base price when the car was ordered new.\nOther 'extras' on this car include: power steering ($70), power brakes ($38), and powered windows ($90).\nChevrolet sold 6,103 Nomads in the 1957 model year at a base price of $2757. That price would get you the six cylinder, 235 cubic inch version. Another $100 would get you the 265 cubic inch V8. That was quite a price as the Bel Air convertible was just a shade under $250 less!\nThis Nomad is currently for sale on eBay. (follow the link for even more photos\ufeff)",

        "raw_content": "England defeat by South Africa marred by a post-match row with fans\nEngland's defeat by South Africa was marred by a post-match confrontation between players Mike Brown and Joe Marler and fans.\nThe Harlequins duo exchanged angry words with supporters after England lost their fifth straight Test, beaten 23-12 by South Africa in Bloemfontein.\nEngland head coach Eddie Jones said he did not see the incident.\nBut asked if his players won or lost with dignity, he told BBC Radio 5 live: \"I think they always do.\"\nEngland led 12-0 but the defeat means South Africa have wrapped up the series 2-0 with one match to play.\nA further sign of England's frustration came when scrum-half Ben Youngs walked away from a television interview after one question.\nHe subsequently apologised on social media for conduct that was strongly criticised by Sir Clive Woodward in his role as a pundit.\n\"Just wanted to say sorry I walked off during my interview with Sky Sports,\" Youngs said on Twitter.\n\"Obviously was very emotional and disappointed with result. We go again in Cape Town.\"\nHas Jones lost the dressing room?\nFormer England scrum-half Matt Dawson raised doubts about Jones' future in his post-match analysis on 5 live.\n\"There were a few rumours I heard last week about what's going to happen going into the World Cup - has Eddie Jones lost the dressing room? Has he lost Twickenham?\" he said.\n\"The wheels are wobbling, big time. There have been far too many, not just losses, but far too many bad performances - they were just woeful today, in the second half England were absolutely awful.\"\nHowever, former captain Will Carling said the side had plenty of talent but needed to sort out their discipline and get the best out of key talents.\n\"Need to get the best out of Itoje, Vunipolas again. Fine margins and sweeping statements of apocalyptic catastrophe don't get us anywhere!\" he wrote on Twitter.\n'Defeat like a horror movie'\nJones described England's fifth defeat in a row as \"like a horror movie\" but said his team was determined to \"get our our pride back\" in next week's final Test.\n\"This team has a lot of pride, we've won back-to-back Six Nations, equalled the record for wins,\" said Jones.\n\"Now we're going through this tough period. Everyone will fight hard to get out of this.\"\nAsked about an apparent scuffle between the England team and the Boks, Jones said: \"Both teams wanted to win the game and England v South Africa are always tough games.\n\"I don't think that [ill discipline] was the case - there was one scuffle with Faf De Klerk and Billy Vunipola... but I didn't see anything else,\" he said. \"I thought it was a good hard Test match.\"\nEngland led 12-0 after 13 minutes but failed to score again as South Africa dominated the rest of the match to clinch the series.\n\"I'm obviously very disappointed. It was a like a re-run of last week,\" added Jones, recalling the first Test in Johannesburg which England lost 42-39 despite scoring three early tries.\n\"We were trying to work out a solution and pick out a plan but as soon as something small happens we don't seem to react well.\n\"No-one wants to lose five Tests. For some reason we're just not handling the key moments of the game.\"\nJones said he did not understand why England were struggling to maintain their initial momentum.\n\"If you don't control the ebb and flow, the game gets away from you. It's a great learning experience for the team, extremely painful.\"\nOn England's relatively high number of penalties, he said he was unsure why so many had been awarded.\n\"I think the players are trying too hard, they're trying to solve problems themselves and not trusting their team,\" he said.",

        "raw_content": "Bisoprolol uses and side effects\nhere we will discuss bisoprolol uses and side effects\nBisoprolol, sold under the brand name Zebeta among others, is a medication most commonly used for heart diseases.[4] This specifically includes high blood pressure, chest pain from not enough blood flow to the heart, and heart failure.\nCommon side effects include headache, feeling tired, diarrhea, and swelling in the legs.[4] More severe side effects include worsening asthma, blocking the ability to recognize low blood sugar, and worsening heart failure.[6] There are concerns that use during pregnancy may be harmful to the baby.\nBisoprolol is in the Beta blocker family of medications and is of the \u03b21 selective type.\nBisoprolol was patented in 1976 and approved for medical use in 1986.\nIt is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, the most effective and safe medicines needed in a health system.[9] Bisoprolol is available as a generic medication.[4] The wholesale cost in the developing world is about 2.98 to 4.94 USD per month.[10] In the United States, as of 2015, it costs about 25 to 50 USD a month\nBisoprolol is beneficial in treatment for high blood pressure (hypertension), reduced blood flow to the heart (cardiac ischemia); congestive heart failure, and preventive treatment before and primary treatment after heart attacks, decreasing the chances of recurrence.\nBisoprolol targets hypertension (elevated blood pressure).\nIn cardiac ischemia, the drug is used to reduce the activity of the heart muscle, so reduces oxygen and nutrient demand, and reduced blood supply can still transport sufficient amounts of oxygen and nutrients.\nBisoprolol can be used to treat cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, arrhythmias, ischemic heart diseases, and myocardial infarction after the acute event. Patients with compensated congestive heart failure may be treated with bisoprolol as a comedication (usually with an ACE inhibitor, a diuretic, and a digitalis-glycosid, if indicated). In patients with congestive heart failure, it reduces the need for and the consumption of oxygen of the heart muscle. It is very important to start with low doses, as bisoprolol reduces also the muscular power of the heart, which is an undesired effect in congestive heart failure",

It is for example known that gyms and locker rooms are target locations for infections. People taking part in sports such as football and other athletics share equipment. Taking part in these sports often result in cuts and abrasions, which make these persons vulnerable to infection.\nA well-known cliche is that knowledge is power. It is therefore very important that college students be aware of MRA, its dangers and the locations where it is most likely to infect. People taking part in sports should for example ensure that shared equipment is thoroughly cleaned before and after use. howers should be routine after each practice session, and any cuts and abrasions should be disinfected immediately. To be safe, serious injuries should be attended to by medical professionals.\nAll college\u2026\u2026 [Read More]\nJohnson, Alan.

MSA / S.aureus are not often found to be the etiology of lung infection except in hospitalized patients who reside in the Intensive Care Units. Often the victim requires ventilation, meaning the bacteria can bypass the humoral and physical defenses of the nose and throat. Endotracheal intubation can also be a method of MSA pneumonia, often fatal in the debilitated patient.\nGiven the prevalence of MSA within the hospital population, both patient and staff, and given the rate of MSA infection within the general population, it is my hypothesis that it is more likely for patients to be contaminated with MSA in radiological procedures which require the use of multi-patient equipment that goes through rudimentary cleaning, rather than radiographic procedures using multi-use equipment which goes through rigorous cleaning between each patient.\nLiterature eview\nIn essence, while a multitude of\u2026\u2026 [Read More]\nwww.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=PubMed&cmd=Search&term=%22Jernigan+JA%22%5BAuthor%5DJernigan JA, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=PubMed&cmd=Search&term=%22Pullen+AL%22%5BAuthor%5DPullen AL, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=PubMed&cmd=Search&term=%22Flowers+L%22%5BAuthor%5DFlowers L, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=PubMed&cmd=Search&term=%22Bell+M%22%5BAuthor%5DBell M, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=PubMed&cmd=Search&term=%22Jarvis+WR%22%5BAuthor%5DJarvis WR\nPrevalence of and risk factors for colonization with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus at the time of hospital admission.\nDivision of Infectious Diseases, Department of Medicine, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, Georgia, USA.\nBodenheimer T. The American health care system; the movement for improved quality in health care. N Engl J. Med 1999;340:488-92\nMRSA -- a Communicable Disease\nOne in six patients in intensive care units are colonized or infected with MSA, which signifies not only the prevalence of this health risk, but the impact on the nurses' workload. Antibiotic resistant MSA increases mortality and postoperative stay; the number of death certificates mentioning MSA increased by 19% between 2002 and 2003, and postoperative stays were a mean of 8.5 for those without MSA, and 17.9 days for those with MSA (Fairclough, 2006). Nurses are consequently attending to more patients for longer periods of time and are exposed to greater infectious risk. Hospital administrators must assess the burden on clinical and managerial staff, as well as the economic and financial implications of prolonged treatment for patients.\neducing the incidence of MSA requires a comprehensive approach to the infection as no single entity can eradicate the bacteria. Fairclough explains the most obvious and immediate measure that needs to be taken\u2026\u2026 [Read More]\nFairclough, S. (2006). Why tackling MRSA needs a comprehensive approach.

Chambers, professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco (www.nfid.org).\nMoreover, as for Chambers' article, he contends that \"bactericidal activity is not an invariable property of an antibiotic\"; that depends on the organism and the conditions under which the organism is growing. In any event, Staphylococcus aureus \"is not killed by protein synthesis inhibitors, cholramphinicol and erythromycin,\" the classic agents known to seek out the ribosome.\nhat are the ways for diagnosis of MRSA?

Observation results of hand-washing by health-care workers in a neonatal intensive care unit. International Journal of Nursing Practice, 16(2), 132-137.\nIn this article the authors wanted to determine whether healthcare professionals were washing their hands and if they were doing so effectively. The researchers observed 344 incidents in which hand washing was warranted and found that nurses were 63% compliant and physicians were 53% compliant. However, when it came to making sure that the job was done thoroughly, physicians were able to do a better job than nurses at a 24% to 13% rate of success. Since hand washing has been proven to be the most effective and simplest method for preventing infection, it is imperative that healthcare professionals perform it as often as needed and thoroughly.\namos M.M., Schrader, ., Trujillo, ., Blea, M., & Greenberg, C. (2011). School nurse inspections improve\u2026\u2026 [Read More]\nResearchers are trying different techniques to increase the incidence of compliance with hand washing guidelines and in this study they used social pressure. Initially, compliance with hand washing regulations was deemed to be significantly below expected standard within the nursing staff. To hopefully combat this, researchers told the staff that they were going to weigh the soap dispenser bags to see if people were actually using them or not. The object of the study was to determine if this type of pressure would induce the staff into better compliance with hand washing regulations. The researchers found that this type of behavioral technique is very effective.\n15. Parish, C. (2008). Patient campaigner calls for TV cameras to check hand-washing. Nursing Standard, 22(38), 6.\nThe author of the article looked at the compliance records of staff and whether patients and visitors used infection controls. The campaigner, Roger Goss, said that because MRSA and other similar healthcare-acquired infections were becoming more dangerous that staff and visitors needed to be monitored more closely to prevent spread. The man advocated that close-circuit televisions be used to determine compliance with regulations, and he encouraged staff to be fired and visitors not welcomed if they did not comply. The warning here to nurses is that people are watching whether they wash their hands properly, and they are ready to have them terminated if they do not.\nManagement of Osteomyelitis in the Diabetic Patient\nOsteomyelitis in the Diabetic Patient\nOsteomyelitis is an infection of the bone or bone marrow which is typically categorized as acute, subacute or chronic.1 It is characteristically defined according to the basis of the causative organism (pyogenic bacteria or mycobacteria) and the route, duration and physical location of the infection site.2 Infection modes usually take one of three forms: direct bone contamination from an open fracture, puncture wound, bone surgery, total joint replacement, or traumatic injury; extension of a soft tissue infection such as a vascular ulcer; or hematogenous (blood borne) spread from other infected areas of the body such as the tonsils, teeth or the upper respiratory system.2(p807) Bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas, Klebsiella, Salmonella, and Escherichia coli are the most common causative agents of the disease, although viruses, parasites and fungi may also lead to the development of osteomyelitis.3\nPatients\u2026\u2026 [Read More]\n1.

The situation involves the researcher's own personal experience teaching a Mom of 16-month-old diagnosis with dysphagia and how to learn how to feed him. This paper discusses the client's background, learning objectives, learning needs, outcomes, teaching strategies, and evaluation of outcomes and provides guidance for a mother facing these same issues.\nInfants and children need to consume sufficient amount of nutrients in order to grow. Swallowing difficulties has an effect on dietary intake and affects a child's growth and development. For this reason, it is important to manage dysphagia in pediatrics.\nDysphagia is a disruption in swallowing that compromises safety, efficiency, or adequacy of nutritional intake. Swallowing and breathing share a common space in the pharynx, and problems in either of these processes can affect a child's ability to protect their airway during swallowing and ingestion of fluid or food safely.\nAbout 1%\u2026\u2026 [Read More]\nDysphagia and swallowing disorders.

In particular, the resistant strain MSA is resistant to methicillin and related drugs. This has created a number of issues for medical practitioners, as staph infections are one of the more common infections that occur in a health setting.\nOne of the threads of research in this regard concerns the spread of staph infection in the hospital setting. It has long been believed that s. aureus infections were transmitted between patients. Where outbreaks have occurred, the response has generally reflected this view, with patients being segregated, and other similar remedies. ecent research has shown, however, that transmission between patients in the intrahospital setting does not occur nearly as much as previously thought (Long, Beres, Olsen & Musser, 2014).

Whether it be the board of regents for a given state, a more national organization or so forth, these agencies are supposed to be an impartial reviewer and accreditor of whether a school meets certain standards. When it comes to healthcare, the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, often shortened to JCAHO, does much the same thing. Of course, healthcare involves much higher stakes than what are seen in a typical school situation. For this regulatory agency, a number of facets and traits of the JCAHO's structure will be covered including its effect on healthcare, an example of the organization executing its duties, what regulatory authority has when it comes to healthcare and how agencies deal with elements and intentional torts that could risk quality and/or risk when\u2026\u2026 [Read More]\nAnderson, J.

This can exacerbate an ongoing problem that is seen in hospitals, nosocomial infections. Nosocomial infections remain prevalent for patients with extended hospital stays like those in intensive care units. An infection that starts roughly 48 hours after admission, those in intensive care units (ICUs) experience a continued rate of infection leading to increase length of stay, mortality, and morbidity. The number of patients that develop a nosocomial infection are from 7 to 10% internationally (Dasgupta, Das, Hazra, & Chawan, 2015). As such, hospitals have decided to classify nosocomial infection sites based on clinical and biological criteria.\nesearch has led to the discovery of several bacterial strains that involve the formation of nosocomial or hospital acquired infections. \"The agents that are usually involved in hospital-acquired infections include Streptococcus spp., Acinetobacter spp., enterococci, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, coagulase-negative staphylococci, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Legionella and Enterobacteriaceae family members,\u2026\u2026 [Read More]\nCDC.

Most importantly, the researchers were not able to determine whether a course of prophylactic antibiotics administered prior to implantation affected the rates of infection. In fact, the antibiotics might have had a major bearing on the rates of infection and could abnegate the results of the current study.\nHowever, Lakkireddy et al. (2005) do draw attention to the need for hygienic, aseptic surgical procedures including the use of topical antiseptics like Povidone-iodine. Especially when devices like PMs and ICDs are being implanted, the potential for infection rises. A more informative study might reveal which patient populations are at the highest risk of developing staph or other infections. Those patients who are the most at risk might benefit the most from prophylactic antibiotics as well as standardized, sterilized surgical procedures.\nEsbls Prevention and Education Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase\nESBLs Prevention and Education\nExtended spectrum beta-lactamase producers (ESBLs) are antibiotic-resistant bacteria that can colonize internally before spreading and/or present as infections that are very difficult to treat du to the protective nature of the ESBL substance itself (AHS, n.d.; CARA, n.d.). ESBL is capable of breaking down antibiotics and thus protecting the producing bacteria, allowing them to continue to thrive and reproduce despite the administering of traditional treatments. For this reason, prevention of such infections is of paramount importance, yet practices that effectively work towards such prevention are not as widespread as would be desirable (AHS, n.d.; Durham, 2006). The following education plan aims to address identified knowledge needs and so reduce rates of ESBLs infections and their negative effects on patient outcomes.\nKnowledge Needs Assessment\nThough the nursing staff examined for this education project is well qualified and highly educated, there is a definite lack of knowledge regarding\u2026\u2026 [Read More]\nHealth Care Environment That Impacts the Nursing\nHealth Care Environment that Impacts the Nursing Profession\nThe objective of this work in writing is to examine the issue of natural environment in terms of impacts on the nursing profession in the health care environment.

Next in popularity is the wedge procedure, which maintains a natural border after a pie-shaped piece of tissue has been removed. Extra folds of the clitoral hood can also be reduced at the same time. Closure is usually done with absorbable sutures.\nThe risks associated with labiaplasty include those of most surgical procedures, including bleeding, hematoma and infection. The most common complication is over-resection. While some women desire an aggressive reduction, this can result in chronic dryness, scarring at or near the vaginal opening and pain with intercourse. Healing problems are more likely to occur with a wedge procedure, particularly if the patient is exposed to substances that cause blood vessels to shrink.\nPosted in: Latest News at Park Ave Plastic Surgery",

I was so happy.\"\nDion will be accompanied by a group of musicians she met at school. The musicians are drummer Ryan Mangalindan, guitarist/vocalist Nick Estes, keyboardist/guitarist Michael Humphries and bassist Noah Myers.\n\"I guess we're called the Sophia Dion Band,\" Dion said with a laugh.\nCollectively the musicians have played well-known venues such as the iconic 3rd and Linsley in Nashville, the House of Blues in Los Angeles, Disneyland, The Coach House in Orange County, the Honda Center in Southern California and the Sundance Film Festival, according to Dion's mother Pam.\n\"[They have also played] many non-profit events to help support Blue Star Connection, a non-profit to help give kids in hospitals the gift of music,\" Pam Dion said.\nOne of Sophia Dion's more recent highlights was performing at a Prince tribute.\n\"I played with all of these musicians who have played with Prince and it was awesome,\" she said. \"I sang 'Manic Monday,' the song Prince wrote for the Bangles, and I also sang 'Purple Rain.' I was the youngest artist there and it was awesome dedicating those songs to him.\"\nFor the upcoming Deer Valley show, Dion's longtime friend Alex Renola, who still lives in Park City, will join the band.\n\"Alex will sing backup vocals on some of the songs,\" Dion said.\nThe concert will feature a mix of old and new songs.\n\"I will play some songs that I have always played since I was younger,\" Dion said. \"I will play some new originals that I haven't released yet, including one that I just wrote the other day, and I'm planning to play some covers that people know and will be able to dance to as well.\"\nUnbeknownst to Dion, her parents have arranged for her debut CD, \"Run Child Run,\" to be available for purchase at the Wednesday concert.\n\"Park City is still her home and she comes home for holidays and to spend time with friends and adjust her retainers,\" Pam Dion said. \"So, it means something to her to be able to come home to play a concert.\"\nLiving in Southern California has helped the younger Dion with her songwriting.\n\"I'm able to work more in L.A. doing my own stuff,\" she said. \"I have been able to work with musicians my own age and collaborate with other people songwriting, co-writing and producing my own stuff.\"\nDion has learned a lot by working with likeminded and talented songwriters and producers.\n\"It all has helped me see what they really do and how I can use their processes to better my songwriting skills,\" she said.\nThere's also the fact that Dion's songs have matured because she has gotten older.\n\"It's a little easier for me because I have more content to write about,\" she said. \"I find myself taking more chances in the songs. I put more personal experiences in the lyrics that I wouldn't have put in a couple of years ago because I was too afraid to.\"\nThere have been times when her cowriters have warned her about getting too personal.\n\"They rein me in,\" Dion said, laughing.\nAfter the Deer Valley concert, Dion will concentrate on some new songs.\n\"Right now, I'm trying to develop my sound and writing more to build my catalog of songs so people will have the chance to hear my music,\" she said.\nMountain Town Music's Grand Valley Bank Community Concert Series will present the Sophia Dion Band, at Deer Valley's Snow Park Amphitheater on Wednesday, July 20, at 6 p.m. Admission is free.

        "raw_content": "Pendleside celebrates 30th year with fundraising drive\nPendleside Hospice is celebrating its 30th anniversary year by launching a year-long fundraising campaign to help fund the future of hospice care.\nThe Reedley-based hospice which provides care for people with life-limiting illnesses and their families, is marking the milestone year by hosting a number of special events.\nAs part of the campaign the hospice has created a birthday gift list called \u2018Help Us Fund the Future\u2019, with 30 targets they are hoping to meet this year. Included on the list are 30 teams to join their Corporate Challenge and 30 businesses to become patrons of the hospice or to choose Pendleside as their charity of the year.\nA special concert to celebrate 30 years of hospice care featuring a host of schools from across Burnley and Pendle has also been announced to take place in May. While they are also planning to bring back the midnight memories walk, an amazingly successful event over 2,000 people taking part to remember their loved ones.\nOn October 5th the date of the anniversary the celebrations will culminate with a special birthday celebration at the hospice.\nThe hospice costs almost \u00a34 million each year to run, of which \u00a33 million is raised locally through individual and organised fundraising initiatives. This is supported by an army of 450 hospice volunteers who give up their valuable time to help with organised events, with more than 200 of them helping in the hospice\u2019s nine Shops.\nHelen McVey Chief Executive of Pendleside Hospice said: \u201c2018 is a very special year for us here at Pendleside Hospice as we celebrate 30 years since the hospice was founded.\n\u201cSince then we have seen the demand for our services grow year on year. While we have also seen a change in the care and support we provide, helping people with more diverse needs and medical conditions ranging from cancer to muscular dystrophy and dementia.\n\u201cWith our services now meeting the needs of around 1500 local people a year, providing care within our inpatient unit, day services, outpatient department, it is more vital than ever before that we are able to continue our work.\n\u201cAs the late Muriel Jobling MBE, the founding chairman of the hospice would say \u2018The hospice was built by the community for the community\u2019 and without the support of our local community we wouldn\u2019t be able to continue to deliver the care to the people who need our support.\n\u201cAs we go into our 30th anniversary year, we are calling on all our supporters and volunteers to help us to fund our future in order that we can ensure that the hospice is here for all who need our support in the years to come.\u201d\nTo find out more about the 30th anniversary celebrations or to get involved with Help Us Fund the Future go to: -\nhttps://\u00adwww.\u00adpendleside.\u00adorg.\u00aduk/\u00adways-you-can-help-30th-anniversary-2018\nEmail: 30thanniversary@pendleside.org.uk",

        "raw_content": "Discipleship & Eva..., General, Reports\nNew Beginnings: The Jebel Lopit Training Center\nIn 1997, I started Persecution Project. Through all these years I have had the honor to participate with you in a range of programs and projects to demonstrate \u201cActive Compassion\u201d for the persecuted in Sudan. It has been a journey filled with great joy and pain to come alongside believers who have experienced great loss and undergone intense suffering because of their faith.\nWe have witnessed so many challenges and changes. As I look back I am overwhelmed by the prayers answered and obstacles overcome. As I enter my 15th year of working in this field, I have never been more excited about the future as I am today.\nOf course, there are still many negative things happening right now in the region. The genocidal war and aerial terror campaign against innocent civilians in the Nuba Mountains, Darfur, and the Blue Nile state is a growing calamity that you will continue to hear about from us. We will continue to provide ways in which you can partner with us to bring encouragement and some relief to the suffering.\nOne of the areas of ministry which I believe will make a long-term impact is in the area of mentoring, training and discipleship.\nThis January edition of the Africa Messenger provides a window into one of PPF's projects which is designed to be a platform for discipleship, education, training and evangelism. The Jebel Lopit Training Center (JLTC) is a project of PPF that has being initiated in partnership with several other local and international partners including The Voice of the Martyrs (VOM), the Africa Inland Church (AIC) and Diguna-AIC.\nThe Early Years in Lohutuk (photos from It's a Battle by Sidney Langford)\nThe purpose of the JLTC is to provide a platform to facilitate programs and projects that will mentor, train, disciple and develop the first generation of leaders in the world's newest nation - South Sudan.\nThe idea for the JLTC developed as we have watched South Sudan emerge from Africa\u2019s longest war and transition during the last six years to a free and independent country.\nNation-building requires people-building and that is the vision of the JLTC. In order for a people to really be free they must be able to govern themselves.\nSelf-government begins with individuals, families and churches and reaches to businesses, communities and civil government. Biblical concepts such as \u201cthou shalt not steal\u201d and \u201cthou shalt not covet\u201d are the bedrock of a free society and the foundation for private property and free enterprise. Students who come to the JLTC from all parts of Sudan and Africa will receive foundational teachings that they will take home and use to transform their families and communities.\nThe JLTC is currently being developed in the community of Lohutuk in Eastern Equatoria State, South Sudan\u2014an ideal location for the JLTC located in the beautiful Lopit mountains.\nPPF wants to facilitate the growth and development of leaders to provide a firm foundation for a growing country.\nTo achieve our vision for this facility, PPF has partnered with the African Inland Church (AIC) and the German Christian organization DIGUNA. DIGUNA\u2019s history in Lohutuk goes back to the late 1970s, but it continues the rich tradition started by African Inland Mission (AIM) which dates back to the 1950s. DIGUNA occupies AIM's old mission station and carries on with ministry outreaches they started before and between the two wars. Together with AIC Sudan, DIGUNA helps run the schools, church and clinic there.\nThere are presently several DIGUNA missionaries living in Lohutuk, including long-time PPF friend and partner, Stephan Matusik, along with his wife, Iris, and their five children.\nStephan has been a leader in the com-munity for nearly seven years and has built up the DIGUNA mission station to become an important beacon for the gospel in the area.\nPPF has supported the community in Lohutuk in various ways for more than a decade including crisis relief, supporting development of a Bible School, primary and secondary schools, a hospital, agricultural projects and other projects.\nThe land for the JLTC has been donated by the AIC and sits adjacent to the DIGUNA mission station. Utilizing containers, fencing materials and a Hydraform brick machine provided by PPF donors, construction of the JLTC compound and campus is underway!\nThe JLTC will provide a venue for churches, universities, and other ministries to have a platform for teaching and training. The JLTC will include accommodations for students, volunteers, short or long-term missionaries, teachers, classrooms with VSAT capability for distance learning, a mess hall, a library, storage and access to a range of ministry projects.\nFood production is a basic need in South Sudan. Independence means self-reliance. One of the best methods of education is apprenticeship. Toward that end, PPF has initiated a number of \u201cdemonstration projects\u201d that are designed to provide mentoring and to teach self-reliance, while addressing real needs such as food production. Growing vegetables and raising chickens are two \u201cdemonstration projects\u201d initiated in 2011 in partnership with Diguna and The Voice of the Martyrs (VOM).\nGrowing vegetables, raising chickens and eggs locally is providing food for the community.\nThe Hydraform machine which produces \u201cinterlocking\u201d bricks is another vehicle for mentoring and training. Housing and food production are two vitally important needs in a poor country with little infrastructure and one which currently relies upon imports for most of its food.\nOne of the greatest development needs in South Sudan is education. The JLTC will provide a platform for academic, spiritual and business training. Several American universities and educational institutions approached PPF in 2011 and asked to partner with PPF to provide distance learning and short- and long-term courses.\nAt the beginning of 2011 PPF provided a VSAT (satellite Internet system) to the Matusik family to improve communication for the community there, and we anticipate additional VSAT systems will be installed in 2012 to facilitate distance learning courses at the high school, undergraduate and graduate levels.\nDuring the war in South Sudan PPF worked hard to respond to the immediate needs of the persecuted, such as food, medicine, clean water, etc. During this new era of peace, the JLTC is our attempt to go beyond crisis relief to sustainable development. We want to bless our brothers and sisters in a more substantial way. By providing educational, spiritual, and economic training opportunities, PPF is helping build Africa\u2019s newest nation one person at a time.\nAs the year 2012 unfolds, we will continue to update you on the progress of the JLTC\u2014and to give you opportunies to get involved directly with our efforts.\nGod has blessed the people of South Sudan with peace, independence, and an opportunity to prosper. Thank you for your prayers for this ministry and for your role in providing life and hope to so many people.\n[fb_ppfgetactive]\nNewer PostSudan to UN humanitarian chief: \"We accept aid, not foreign aid workers.\"\nOlder PostDeath Throes of a Monstrous Regime",

        "raw_content": "Pass It Back to Launch in the Philippines\nBACOLOD, PHILIPPINES: 3 February 2017: Pass It Back, an innovative sport for development program managed by ChildFund, is heading to a third country this month as a collaboration with the Philippines Rugby Union (PRFU) gets underway in Negros Occidental. This will be the program\u2019s third country after Laos and Vietnam, which have seen more than 2,500 players take part in regular rugby and life-skills learning over the past 18 months, with girls making up over 50 per cent of the players and coaches.\nThis collaboration has come together under ChildFund\u2019s Pass it Back program, which promotes the right to play in communities where children have little or no access to organised sport. Using a fully integrated rugby and life-skills curriculum, Pass it Back not only supports young people\u2019s health and wellbeing but provides important learning opportunities around leadership, life skills and gender equality to help them overcome challenges, inspire positive change and \u2018pass it back\u2019 to their communities.\nAs part of this collaboration, the program will work with the PRFU to train 12 Coaches to deliver the Pass It Back curriculum, which builds on World Rugby\u2019s Get Into Rugby program, by also delivering life-skills learning opportunities. Eighteen new teams will pick up a rugby ball during this collaboration, which will run from February to September.\nThis collaboration is supported by the Australian Government\u2019s aid program through its Asia Sports Partnerships (ASP) initiative, which was established to foster links between Australia and Asia that promote community health, disability inclusion, gender equality and social cohesion.\n\u201cChildFund\u2019s Pass it Back program was set up for disadvantaged children living in communities across Asia, who face significant challenges around poverty and inequality,\u201d said ChildFund Australia CEO Nigel Spence.\n\u201cAs the program develops, it is wonderful to deepen our relationship with the PRFU to further build the knowledge and skills of players and coaches, and to inspire them to be strong leaders and role models within their communities.\u201d\n\u201cThe PRFU is excited to continue our collaboration with ChildFund and to add another string to our bow by integrating our existing rugby development work with life skills education,\u201d said PRFU Secretary General Ada Milby. \u201cWe are particularly excited to build on Pass It Back\u2019s successes to date by getting more girls and young women playing rugby in the Philippines.\u201d\nChildFund Japan Philippine Office Country Director, Rina Munsayac, said \u201cThis partnership with the PRFU is an exciting step in our work in the Philippines to use sport as a tool to ensure that every child has the opportunity to develop to their full potential.\u201d Pass It Back activities during this initial collaboration will run from February to August 2017. Photos and footage available upon request.\nAbout Pass it Back\nPass It Back is an innovative Sport for Development program led by ChildFund in partnership with World Rugby, Asia Rugby and Women Win. The program aims to equip children and young people in Asia to overcome challenges, inspire positive social change and \u2018pass it back\u2019 to their communities. Using Get Into Rugby, a World Rugby program to grow the Game globally, the program gets children and youth to Try, Play and Stay in the Game. It is a part of the Impact Beyond Rugby World Cup 2019 programme (\u2018Impact Beyond 2019\u2019), which will increase awareness and sustainable growth of rugby in Asia.

        "title": "Phillips: NY010418, Fernand L\u00e9ger",
        "raw_content": "Georges Bauquier, Biot\nSimone Bauquier, Biot\nCamard & Associ\u00e9s, Paris, June 9, 2010, lot 105\nA pioneer of the Cubist movement, Fernand L\u00e9ger developed a graphic style that became instantly recognizable, merging bold black lines with vibrant primary colors. By the middle of the 20th century the artist began to experiment with a diverse range of media, producing tapestries, mosaics, stained-glassware and ceramics. The following four unique ceramic works were each created in 1952, when L\u00e9ger was at the height of his fame.\nL\u00e9ger became involved with ceramics around 1949 after collaborating with the sculptor Mary Callery during his exile to the United States. Upon his return to France, L\u00e9ger suggested to his friend and student Roland Brice that they embark on the creation of polychrome sculptures. His decision to refer to these works as \u201cpolychrome sculptures\u201d, relegating the term \u201cceramic\u201d only to the material, highlights his conception of these ceramics as color and form deployed in space. Occupying a privileged position in his artistic practice, ceramics became a unique place of renewal in his pictorial work. Like Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall and Georges Braque during the same time period, L\u00e9ger learned the ceramic technique during regular trips to the C\u00f4te d'Azur; but unlike these artists, he did not decorate everyday objects, such as pots, plates, or jugs. It was not his desire to enhance existing forms, but instead to revitalize his own compositions by projecting them into space.\nResisting his monumental compositions from the same era, L\u00e9ger\u2019s early ceramics were executed in a modest size, featuring simple subjects in contrasting colors isolated on a plain background: still life, flowers, fruit, and the face. The latter motif serves as the focal point for three of the following four works in question, including Visage en creux (rouge et vert), Figure de femme, and Les deux profils, the first of which was included in one of L\u00e9ger\u2019s first exhibitions of sculpture held in 1953 at Galerie Louis Carr\u00e9 & Cie, Paris. Each of the human faces are broken up with black lines, adding intensity to the entire images and acting like the leading in stained glass, serving to push the colors to the fore.\nIn the first lot from this section, Composition, L\u00e9ger chooses not to depict a recognizable subject, but rather an abstract scene in a sculptural form. L\u00e9ger contributes a sense of texture and depth to this striking image, its glossy finish catching the light at varied angles depending on the position from which it is viewed. In part, this relief recalls his large-scale sculpture The Walking Flower produced in the same year, in which the central form turns into an anthropomorphic character with legs, combining simple form with a powerful monumentality. After the creation of this work, L\u00e9ger would go on to produce monumental projects designed for public spaces, which became an important part of his legacy.\nEqually important to the ceramic work of L\u00e9ger was his student and collaborator Roland Brice, whose goal was to translate L\u00e9ger\u2019s unique style into ceramics. While Brice would look at technical aspects of production, developing a brilliant enamel finish, L\u00e9ger conceived the design, shaping the final relief and applying bright color. With prodigious inventiveness and a keen understanding of his former teacher's aesthetic concepts, Brice brought the third dimension to Fernand L\u00e9ger's painted works from the kilns of the studio located in the valley of Biot. He began by interpreting the patterns from L\u00e9ger\u2019s 1930s gouaches and easel paintings, then producing remarkable polychrome works in vivid colors in both red and glazed white clay. Brice gave voice to L\u00e9ger's compositions, bringing the projects to fruition with meticulous skill. In the spirit of bold innovation, L\u00e9ger made adjustments to the reliefs, touching up flat areas, molding shapes, contrasting contours with strong lines, and bright colors with matte tones, while Brice masterfully executed L\u00e9ger's vision, with their contrasting effects playing on the balance between reliefs and shapes.\nsigned with the artist's initials and dated \"F.L. 52\" lower right; further titled and inscribed \"No. 9/1 Composition\" on the reverse\nExecuted in 1952, this work is unique.",

The survey for Q3 found that 61% of advisers are suggesting no changes to their clients\u2019 investments. Twenty-eight percent of advisers are looking into alternative strategies to ensure diversified portfolios. A smaller percentages of advisers are shifting clients\u2019 funds into less risky investments (8%) or aggressively pursuing the equity markets (3%), according to the survey.\nAdvisers said their clients are most concerned in this market environment about an insufficient stimulus to calm the markets (65%). Clients are also concerned about potential tax rate increases (16%), a weak U.S. dollar (9%), and inflation (9%).\nMany of the respondents still seemed relatively confident in the market, as of September. Nearly half (46%) of advisers are somewhat confident in the outlook of the country\u2019s economy and 14% are highly confident. The outlook of the stock market garnered similar responses, with 48% of advisers saying they are somewhat confident and 12% are highly confident in its performance.\nThe thing advisers are most confident about? Their own practices. Fifty-six percent of advisers are highly confident in the future of their practice, and 31% are somewhat confident. Almost half of advisers (48%) expect their business to grow by more than 10%, and 32% expect their business to grow by 5% to 10%.\nSlightly more advisers expect their clients to have to work past traditional retirement since the first quarter\u2019s survey (see Advisers Say Extravagance, Procrastination Hinder Retirement Savings). The majority of advisers (76% to 100%) said only 1% of their clients will have to work in retirement, according to the survey. However, the next largest group of advisers (51% to 75%) said 19% of their clients will work in retirement. About 25% to half of advisers expect a larger chunk of clients (36%) to work past traditional retirement age.\nProcrastination has also taken the lead (ironically, perhaps) as the number one obstacle to retirement savings, according to 28% of advisers. The next largest obstacle is extravagant lifestyle, followed by healthcare costs (20% and 16% of advisers, respectively).\nAdvisers were split on their feelings out the so-called bailout plan. Fifty-one percent said the U.S. Treasury\u2019s proposed $700 billion bailout of private enterprise is not a fair use of tax dollars; 49% said it is. The large majority of advisers would like to see increased regulation of financial institutions (78%), according to the Brinker Barometer.\nAs the country heads into an election, more than half of advisers said it wouldn\u2019t be feasible to continue the Bush tax cuts because of the government\u2019s financial bailout of Wall Street. The majority of advisers (76%) think that Senator John McCain would be the presidential candidate who could better fix the crisis (24% are more confident in Senator Barack Obama). Advisers have been supporting the Republican candidate since the beginning of the election, according to the Barometer.\nThe Brinker Barometer survey was conducted online in September and had 370 respondents.\n\u00ab Geneos Updates Technology Platform for Advisers",

        "raw_content": "Hants v Yorks (Day 3): Form with the bat enhances Bresnan\u2019s important role\nYorkshire's Tim Bresnan. 'Picture: Jonathan Gawthorpe.\nIT is difficult to look past Jonny Bairstow when contemplating Yorkshire\u2019s player of the season for 2015.\nThe England batsman/wicketkeeper has been in superlative form all season, scoring 1,071 runs in eight County Championship games at an average of 107.10, with five hundreds and five fifties.\nSuch figures tend to dwarf those of other players, but another man\u2019s work should not go unnoticed.\nTim Bresnan has had a particularly good year - and his most successful summer with the bat.\nOn a rain-hit third day on which only 7.4 overs were possible at the Ageas Bowl, Yorkshire advancing from 82-4 to 97-4 in reply to Hampshire\u2019s 400-9 declared, Bresnan lifted his Championship runs total this year to 743 at 49.53.\nHe is unbeaten on 12 going into day four, with Alex Lees the other not out batsman on 37, and his form has been such that he is deservedly batting at No.6.\nAlthough today\u2019s final day should be of no more than academic interest, with a draw by far the likeliest result, there are one or two interesting statistical sub-plots as the season winds down.\nFor Bresnan\u2019s Championship runs tally this year is only slightly less than Jack Leaning (801), Andrew Gale (783) and Lees (761), while he is averaging more than all of those frontline batsmen.\nOf course, it has long been known that Bresnan can bat.\nMore of a bowling all-rounder in his heyday, he has always been capable of impressive contributions.\nNow aged 30, and with his bowling perhaps not as potent as it once was after years of hard labour, Bresnan might now be considered more of a batting all-rounder.\nHis bowling, however, is still a fine asset; a return of 40 Championship wickets this year at 32.64 is not to be sniffed at.\nBresnan is part of a regular four-pronged pace attack that includes Ryan Sidebottom, Jack Brooks and Steve Patterson, an attack which has played a key role in Yorkshire retaining their title.\nPerhaps the most impressive aspect of Bresnan\u2019s batting this summer is that he has got runs when the team most needed them.\nNever was that better illustrated than in the match against Durham at Chester-le-Street in June, when he struck a career-best 169 not out and shared in a county cricket record seventh-wicket stand of 366 with Bairstow that effectively won that game.\nBresnan also scored a hundred against Somerset at Taunton in May and has hit three half-centuries.\nGale believes Bresnan could develop into a Mark Ealham-type player.\nThe former Kent, Notts and England all-rounder had the ability to challenge the 1,000-run mark each season and take useful wickets.\nn David Willey, the Northamptonshire all-rounder who is joining Yorkshire in the close-season, has been named in the England Lions\u2019 T20 squad to play Pakistan.\nWilley is part of a 16-man squad for the five-match series in the UAE in December.\nn Squad: Vince (captain), Ansari, Ball, Billings, Clarke, Bell-Drummond, Foakes, Gregory, Jordan, Malan, Mills, Parry, Topley, Westley, Willey, Whiteley.",

        "raw_content": "Events show Israel justified in self-defense\nIsrael is condemned when it takes measures to staunch the flow of weapons into and out of Gaza, such as the much vilified naval blockade. As it now becomes clear that the perpetrators of the latest attacks originated in Gaza and infiltrated via Sinai, one hopes that our public might have more sympathy for Israel's position.\nThe Palestinian Authority intends to push for the establishment of a state at the UN in September. But Palestinian voices remain uniformly hostile to Israel, and Hamas in particular has praised the latest attacks. The \"Arab Spring\" has led to growing calls to cancel Egypt's peace treaty with Israel, all the while the sabotage of oil pipelines and now terror attacks against Israeli civilians are taking place based in the Sinai peninsula and trained and organized in Gaza. One can hopefully understand Israel's concerns for its long-term security in such a hostile and volatile environment.\nIsrael withdrew from Gaza for the promise of peace. Instead it was met with 8,000 rockets and missiles and acts of terror in return. Should Israel withdraw from Judea and Samaria, its heartland and historic birthplace, as demanded by the UN and its Arab/Muslim/third world majorities, it would again be met with chronic terrorism and missile attacks \u2014 but this time aimed at its major population centers down in the valley below. No state should be forced to commit suicide. The League of Nations ratified the San Remo Agreement in 1920, affirming Jordan as the Arab state in the new Palestine Mandate east of the Jordan River, and affirming the Jewish state within the new Palestine Mandate west of the Jordan River. Its authority was never abrogated, just ignored.\nRABBI BARUCH MELMAN\nTemple Israel of the Poconos",

You're kidding me.\nI wish someone could tell me I'm dreaming, but the fact is President Obama went to Disney World to promote jobs. I think he's living in Cinderella's Castle where he announced that his idea of job creating is to increase tourism to the United States. Someone wake me up and say it isn't real.\nThe president said no to the Keystone XL pipeline plan that would have actually created about 20,000 jobs.

        "raw_content": "Another Hole in the Halbig Verdict\nBy ABBE R. GLUCK\nAbbe R. Gluck is professor of law at Yale Law School, where she specializes in federal legislation and health law.\nIt is no secret that the people bringing the challenge to the Obamacare subsidies in the Halbig and King cases\u2014challenges now seeking review from both the full D.C. federal appellate bench and the U.S. Supreme Court after federal appellate courts in Virginia and D.C. came out in opposite ways last month\u2014are some of the same people who brought the 2012 constitutional challenge to the Affordable Care Act before the high court (the same counsel, and one of the same plaintiffs).\nWhat\u2019s less known, however, is that in the 2012 constitutional case, these same challengers filed briefs describing Obamacare to the court in precisely the way they now say the statute cannot possibly be read. Namely, they assumed that the subsidies were available on the federal exchanges and went so far as to argue that the entire statute could not function as written without the subsidies. That\u2019s a far cry from their argument now that the statute makes crystal clear that Congress intended to deny subsidies on the federal exchanges.\nI am not a fan of the \u201cgotcha\u201d flavor that some aspects of this case have taken on, but the challengers\u2019 2012 statements are relevant as a legal matter because what the government has to prove to win\u2014as a matter of black-letter law under the Chevron doctrine\u2014is that the statute is ambiguous. ( Chevron says that federal courts defer to the relevant agency\u2019s reading of the statute when a federal statute is unclear\u2014here, that agency is the IRS.)\nThe challengers have spent more than a year arguing that no reasonable reader of text could construe the statute in any way other than denying federal subsidies to insurance purchasers on exchanges operated by the federal government. But what about their statements from 2012\u2014statements then echoed by Justices Scalia, Kennedy, Thomas and Alito in their joint dissent to the Supreme Court\u2019s ruling in the constituitional challenge, NFIB v. Sebelius? Here are a few; judge for yourself.\nThe 2012 briefs filed on behalf of the same plaintiff, David Klemencic (among others), by the same counsel as the current challenge, made the case that it is nonsense to read the statute as not offering the federal-exchange subsidies. Indeed, the plaintiffs went so far as to say the entire Affordable Care Act should have been struck down without the subsidies\u2014because the act would not be able to function as written without them.\nThe Federal Government only subsidizes coverage purchased within an exchange, thus giving insurance companies a reason to sell there despite the distinct regulatory burdens imposed on plans offered through the exchanges. The exchanges cannot be severed from the provisions already addressed. Without the subsidies driving demand within the exchanges, insurance companies would have absolutely no reason to offer their products through exchanges, where they are subject to far greater restrictions. Premised on the mandate, the insurance regulations, and the subsidies, the insurance exchanges cannot operate as intended by Congress absent those provisions. (p. 51, emphasis added).\nWhat the D.C. Circuit Got Wrong About Obamacare\nCuomo\u2019s Slow-Mo Disaster\nRand Paul Can Run, But He Can\u2019t Hide From Latino Voters in 2016\nBy CESAR VARGAS and ERIKA ANDIOLA\nFrom their reply brief:\nIndeed, the \u201ccritical feature\u201d of those exchanges was the \u201cgreater standardization of health insurance policies\u201d created by the effective end to individual underwriting. Id. Without that standardization, Congress\u2019 goals in creating the exchanges \u201cwould be significantly frustrated.\u201d Id. 46. Moreover, the federal subsidies are the incentive to participate in the exchanges, and without those subsidies, there will be no mechanism to sustain the exchanges. (p. 20, emphasis added)\nAnd in fact, this comports with precisely how Justices Scalia, Kennedy, Thomas and Alito described the statute in their 2012 joint dissent\u2014as nonsense without the subsidies:\nIn the absence of federal subsidies to purchasers, insur\u00adance companies will have little incentive to sell insurance on the exchanges. Under the ACA\u2019s scheme, few, if any, individuals would want to buy individual insurance poli\u00adcies outside of an exchange, because federal subsidies would be unavailable outside of an exchange. Difficulty in attracting individuals outside of the exchange would in turn motivate insurers to enter exchanges, despite the exchanges\u2019 onerous regulations. See 42 U. S. C. \u00a718031 . That system of incentives collapses if the federal subsidies are invalidated. Without the federal subsidies, individuals would lose the main incentive to purchase insurance inside the exchanges, and some insurers may be unwilling to offer insurance inside of exchanges. With fewer buyers and even fewer sellers, the exchanges would not operate as Congress intended and may not operate at all. (p. 60, emphasis added)\nThese arguments, it is worth noting, are textual, structural and contextualarguments\u2014arguments about what the statute means, drawing from how the act\u2019s different textual provisions fit with one another and are read in light of one another, in the entire statutory scheme. These are not extratextual or legislative history arguments. Rather, they are precisely the kinds of arguments commonly made by textualists, and accepted by the joint dissent in 2012, but which the challengers are now saying is an inappropriate method of interpretation in their effort to construe four words of a 900- page law in a vacuum.",

        "raw_content": "Rep. Jeb Hensarling is making a last stand to secure his legacy and score wins for House members who have assembled a long list of rollbacks they want President Donald Trump to sign. | J. Scott Applewhite/AP Photo\nHensarling calls on lobbyists to break bank bill stalemate\nHouse Financial Services Chairman Jeb Hensarling, who has been waging an uphill battle on bank deregulation, is calling for reinforcements.\nThe Texas Republican is trying to rally an army of lobbyists in his long-shot attempt to expand a bipartisan bank bill the Senate passed last month, posing a potential new threat to the landmark legislation.\nRebuffed by moderate Senate Democrats who refuse to negotiate, Hensarling is pressing hard for talks with the upper chamber and mounting a campaign to make his case. He's calling on fellow Republican lawmakers to recruit industry groups to join the effort and to weigh in with House leaders.\nHensarling, who is retiring at the end of this session, is trying to put his stamp on the last major financial services legislation of his career. And he has turned to lobbyists to help answer the question at the heart of the impasse: What do Senate Democrats find so objectionable about the bipartisan amendments he has put on the table?\nThe Democrats' support is essential, and they're threatening to walk away from the bill that they helped draft if the House tries to make changes. They're concerned that any revisions might jeopardize the fragile alliance underpinning the legislation.\n\u201cThis bill that the Senate came forward with \u2014 which I'm very happy they came forward with anything \u2014 it's a bucket of bipartisan bills,\" Hensarling said on CNBC. \"Well, guess what? We have a bucket of bipartisan bills in the House as well.\"\nYet finance industry lobbyists themselves are split.\nIn response to his refusal to bless the bill, lobbyists who secured much of their wish list in the legislation are preparing to fight back to defend it. They're pressing House Republicans to quickly send the bill to President Donald Trump, who has made it clear he wants to sign it as soon as possible.\n\"Anyone who's trying to add something to this, the question is, where have you been the last four years?\" Independent Community Bankers of America executive vice president Paul Merski said. \"You're really late to the game if you're trying to add something at this point.\"\nSome of the same lobbyists and House Republicans who are working to expand the bill are privately expressing doubts that Hensarling will succeed. But he's making a last stand to secure his legacy and score wins for House members who have assembled a long list of rollbacks they want Trump to sign.\nA key constituency that Hensarling has stirred up is focused on cutting red tape in securities laws that affect entrepreneurs and their investors. Several proposals that would accomplish that goal are included in a list of roughly 30 bills he has floated as potential additions to the Senate package.\nOne of the bills would allow mergers and acquisitions brokers to escape a mandate that they register with securities regulators when they arrange deals with more complexity than all-cash offers.\nThe brokers argue that the requirement is costly and unnecessary, especially for transactions involving small, privately held businesses, and that it opens them up to legal liability if they don't comply.\nThey've won broad bipartisan support and sympathy from regulators. The House passed their bill, introduced by Rep. Bill Huizenga (R-Mich.), in a 426-0 vote in December.\nMike Ertel, managing director of Transworld M&A Advisors, said the gridlock over the banking legislation \"frustrates me to no end.\"\nHouse Republicans have encouraged the brokers to reach out to Senate Democrats to ensure that \"if this is included in the bill when it comes back to the Senate, that there's not going to be any heartburn on the Senate side,\" he said.\n\"To see Congress continually being stalemated and unwilling to negotiate and unwilling to talk things through is just not the way my high school civics teacher taught me how the system is supposed to work,\" he said.\nHensarling's insistence on exercising his constitutional prerogative has also created an opening for a coalition of business interests that previously championed the 2012 JOBS Act which eased rules for emerging companies seeking to raise capital.\nHe is trying to advance proposals backed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council and the Biotechnology Innovation Organization that would build on the JOBS Act, which was signed into law by President Barack Obama.\n\"None of these are poison pills,\" said Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council President and CEO Karen Kerrigan. \"They would enhance the quality of the Senate-passed bill.\"\nIn addition, large \"super-regional\" banks BB&T, Capital One and PNC are urging lawmakers to expand the legislation to help ease rules for lenders with more than $250 billion in assets \u2014 a new regulatory threshold set by the Senate bill. And asset managers represented by the Investment Company Institute are hoping that lawmakers will include legislation that would restrict how regulators identify \"systemically important\" financial firms for tougher oversight and impose stress tests on the industry.\nEven groups that scored victories in the Senate bill are coming back for more.\nDomestic insurers, which have lobbied Congress to help shield them from the creep of European regulations, secured language in the Senate bill that attempts to address their concerns. But they are pushing the House to give it more teeth.\nAnd while the bill has benefits for small lenders, the National Association of Federally-Insured Credit Unions wants to add a provision that would repeal a capital rule imposed by the National Credit Union Administration.\nIn response, Hensarling and the lobbyists he's enlisting will face pushback from banks that want the bill enacted as soon as possible.\nThose who plan to resist know they won't have to deal with Hensarling after he leaves office in January and that many of his fellow Republicans will be eager to campaign on accomplishments this year as they fight to keep control of the House.\nLenders have already begun conveying a sense of urgency to House members, and they're taking advantage of Congress' two-week recess to press lawmakers while they're away from Washington. They say the Senate's bill already includes many proposals that Hensarling and House Republicans have been driving for years.\nIn a joint letter to Speaker Paul Ryan, the Wisconsin Credit Union League and the Wisconsin Bankers Association \u2014 representing competing sectors of the finance industry \u2014 asked that the House \"immediately consider and pass\" the Senate bill. Ryan is backing Hensarling in his fight to open negotiations with the Senate.\n\"We understand Mr. Hensarling is representing the House and he wants to talk to the Senate about some of his ideas,\" Ohio Bankers League general counsel Jeff Quayle said. \"We're just asking our [House] members to keep an eye on the goal line.\"\nOne way to help resolve the impasse would be to attach some of the House proposals to other bills. Senators have said they would be willing to work with Hensarling on follow-up legislation.\nIn the coming months, there are legislative deadlines to reauthorize the National Flood Insurance Program on July 31 and then fund the government again on Sept. 30. But it's not a sure bet that lawmakers will be willing to move comprehensive bills that could be vehicles for more of Hensarling's proposals.\nSenate Democrats who assembled the banking bill are showing no appetite for further negotiations. After years of negotiations and withering attacks by fellow Democrats who oppose the regulatory rollbacks, they're refusing to entertain any additions.\nA spokeswoman for Sen. Mark Warner, part of the core group that assembled the legislation, said the Virginia Democrat had made clear that \"if the House makes changes, he will encourage all 17 of the Democrats who previously voted for the bill to vote against it.\"",

        "title": "When American Women's Dreams of Equality Carried Them to Russia - PopMatters",
        "raw_content": "When American Women's Dreams of Equality Carried Them to Russia\nBy uncovering lost stories of women living abroad, Julia Mickenberg revives rich histories of adventure.\nAuthor: Julia L. Mickenberg\nThe story of the women\u2019s movement in the United States tends to be reduced to a neatly packaged narrative: the first wave of feminism was Women\u2019s Suffrage, and once women earned the right to vote, not much happened until The Feminine Mystique inspired second wave feminism. Sure, there were world wars and the Great Depression in between, so not much time for feminism. Yet historians and feminist scholars are bringing previously untold stories into popular discourse. Rosie the Riveter, for example, became a feminist icon decades after women stepped up to work in the munitions industry during WWII. Similarly, American Girls in Red Russia offers a cadre of women whose cultural contributions are worthy of rediscovering.\nOstensibly about American women living in Bolshevik Russia and later in the Soviet Union, Mickenberg\u2019s book is also a broad-reaching history of political and social relations between the two nation states. A reader with some background in that history will be better prepared for these stories; knowing the context makes the individual biographical profiles more complete. The book is arranged chronologically, beginning with the 1904-05 American speaking tour by Ekaterina Breshko-Breshkovskaya, also known as the \u201cLittle Grandmother of the Russian Revolution\u201d. Babushka, as she was affectionately called, inspired women to travel to Russia and take part in the cultural changes underway.\nMany American men and women felt called to help Russian children, especially during the 1921 famine, and to participate in a socialist society that held the promise of equality, regardless of gender, race, or socioeconomic upbringing. The women whose stories are told here faced a difficult dichotomy: while they had faith in communal life as being superior to the competitive capitalism that many rejected, the realities of life in Soviet Russia did not always align with their ideals. Often there were real life difficulties, as the environment and lifestyle of the American workers communes was harsh. Equality, many found, was difficult to translate from concept to practice. Ruth Kennell, for example, who committed to a two-year contract to work and live at the Kuzbas colony, wrote about her experiences of seeing men given preferential treatment over women, as well as the difficulties of navigating differences in work contributions to the collective whole. She noted that despite their commitment to communal life, many American men brought their ideas of established gender roles with them to Kuzbas and did not even consider dismantling them.\nThe circumstances of many married American women who lived in Soviet Russia are not unlike those faced by women in the '50s and '60s who were left with housekeeping and childrearing as their primary occupation. Anna Louise Strong, who in 1930 served as the first editor of the English-language Moscow News, exuberantly describes the differences between married women in the United States and \u201cSoviet wives\u201d, which she counts herself among. In Strong\u2019s telling, Soviet men go off on exciting adventures, and their wives accompany them, or find expeditions of their own (193). Many American women in the '20s and '30s sought the same promise of an adventurous life in Soviet Russia, since such freedoms were not available to them at home.\nAlong with histories of commune workers, writers, and activists, Mickenberg includes the important interplay between the two cultures focused on dance. American dancer Isadora Duncan offers an example of how ideological attachments get entwined with art: first popular for articulating a physical presence aligned with revolutionary freedom, her \u201cDuncanism\u201d was eventually scorned in the Soviet Union (223). A solid, strong body was preferred as the ideal Soviet body, rather than one capable of Duncan\u2019s flowing, lilting style. For readers who, like Mickenberg grew up during the Cold War, the muscular female Soviet athletes competing in the Olympic games come to mind as matching that ideal.\nAs the book moves through its chronology, the status of women becomes an exemplar for the transformations in Russian/Soviet life. Where many American women were enticed by the sexual freedom and gender equality available in Russia, those promises were not sustained as Stalinism took hold. Mickenberg notes that Anna Louise Strong was still writing for American audiences about the vast professional opportunities available to Soviet women in 1936, yet she failed to address the changes to Soviet family law that made abortion illegal and divorce difficult. The changes portended the Great Purges the following year, when thousands upon thousands of people were arrested, imprisoned, and executed under Stalin\u2019s regime. The number of Americans visiting the Soviet Union tapered off dramatically, and those already living in the Soviet Union were told to either become citizens or leave the country.\nThe book closes with World War II and the alliance between the United States and the Soviet Union that led to the portrayal of Soviet women involved in the war effort as heroines in American popular culture. Mickenberg focuses on Lillian Hellmann and Margaret Bourke-White for their efforts in visiting the Soviet Union and creating photographs, film, and narratives that promoted friendship between the two nations. In her epilogue, Mickenberg considers the fates of several women featured in early chapters of the book, some of whom were subject to investigation by the House Un-American Activities Committee. Mickenberg writes with the advantage of perspective: in a post-Soviet, post-Cold War era, it is easier to trace the threads of the socialist project\u2019s failure. Yet as she writes in closing, we still \u201ctry to distinguish refugees from terrorists and legitimate dissent from security threats\u201d while \u201cwomen continue to struggle with the same things they struggled with in the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s\u201d (334-335). The passage of time does not ensure a clear understanding of the past or how historical events will be used to make sense of the world in the present.\nMickenberg positions herself as a child of the Cold War, among the members of Generation X in the United States who had a romantic and ambivalent relationship with the Soviet Union. Her research begins to fill a gap in the literature that not only brings to light the social and cultural contributions of American women in Russia and the Soviet Union but also considers the impact of socialism on the US Left. The current cultural moment can only benefit from the insights of Mickenberg\u2019s work.",

        "raw_content": "Why the Scientific and Technical Oscars Are the Most Important Awards Show\nVoxels, PhDs and DLP Chips: a night at the Academy's geekier awards\nTodd Wawrychuk / \u00a9A.M.P.A.S.\nEvery year during the Oscar telecast, there's that moment when a buzzworthy young actor goes to the podium and mentions that recently she had the honor of hosting the Academy's Scientific and Technical Awards. Then, the producers cut to footage of that event, which features people you don't recognize winning for things you don't understand. The whole thing sounds very technical \u2014 and also, admittedly, rather boring.\nAttend what's known more informally as the Sci-Tech Awards and you get a much different, warmer impression. Although the evening lacks the star power of the Academy Awards, it's easy to argue that Sci-Tech's honorees are more crucial to the foundation of modern-day filmmaking. A movie star can be a fleeting commodity. The innovations celebrated at the Sci-Tech Awards can define how millions of moviegoers experience films.\nPart awards show, part insider soir\u00e9e, the Sci-Tech Awards exude a chummy air as like-minded individuals talk shop in tuxedos at the elegant Beverly Wilshire Hotel ballroom. Where directors and actors may not have even gone to college, this room is filled with engineers and PhDs. They're not the sort who normally receive such public accolades. As Tom Lianza said when receiving his award for co-developing the HP DreamColor LP2480zx Professional Display, \"I really don't know what to say \u2014 I'm a color scientist.\"\nYou know their work. You just don't know you do.\nAt the Sci-Tech Awards, acceptance speeches give shout-outs to HP, not agents \u2014 largely because these people don't have agents. If editors, cinematographers and other film craftspeople are dismissively identified as \"below the line\" talents, Sci-Tech winners are under the radar, practically invisible. You know their work. You just don't know you do.\nThe evening was hosted by Miles Teller and Margot Robbie, two great young actors who split the difference between polite formality \u2014 they dutifully introduced each award and detailed its recipients' significance \u2014 and lighthearted, smartass irreverence. While discussing \"voxels,\" the elements that make up a virtual three-dimensional space, Teller used the word so many times in his presentation that the Whiplash star finally proposed that the audience take a drink every time someone said voxels, which quickly became the night's official running joke. Later, while presenting an award to Ken Museth, Peter Cucka, and Mihai Ald\u00e9n for creating OpenVDB, an open-source tool for storing and manipulating voxels, The Wolf of Wall Street's Robbie came down with a case of the giggles, unable to continue. Apologizing while laughing, she explained that the term OpenVDB just felt filthy. \"I don't know why it sounds so sexual to me,\" she exclaimed. Perhaps someone had had too many voxels.\nThe crowd ate up Teller and Robbie, and why not? The Scientific and Technical Awards\nare a festive, lighthearted evening that, unlike the Oscars, involves no competition. Potential Sci-Tech recipients submit their proposals months in advance and go through a multi-step evaluation process. If a proposal is accepted, the winners are notified in advance. And it was a group aware of its own inequalities: Of the 59 winners, only one, Colette Mullenhoff, was a woman \u2014 and when she came to the stage she received one of the evening's rare standing ovations. (\"We're breaking down the walls, people,\" Teller said after Mullenhoff left the stage. \"It's great. It's about damn time.\")\nSaturday night's recipients were sometimes honored for the most specialized of achievements. Michael Sechrest, Chris King, and Greg Croft were recognized for their work on SpeedTree Cinema, a software that produces digital forests in films like Noah. (The technology had started as a process in video games.) Marco Revelant, Alasdair Coull, and Shane Cooper received an award for Barbershop, a program focusing on the animation of individual hairs for characters in the Hobbit films and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. These are the sort of feats that may seem insignificant to the common viewer, but in an era of year-round blockbusters, the demand for gorgeous artificial worlds is skyrocketing.\nThat said, there remained a playful tension between old-school Hollywood glamour and the cutting edge of filmic technology. Ron Fedkiw, a winner for developing Industrial Light & Magic's PhysBAM Destruction System, which has helped level cities (virtually) in movies like Pacific Rim, came to the podium and announced, \"Mr. Fantastic gave me my award,\" alluding to Teller's role in the forthcoming Fantastic Four reboot. At most events, photogenic talents like Teller and Robbie are the main attraction, but on Saturday they were merely game sports struggling to tread water in a sea of brainiacs. At one point in the evening, Robbie, while wrestling with a particularly complicated explanation for one of the technical awards, took a moment to address the audience, tartly asking if we noticed that, \"I have all the hard things to say.\" Teller, not missing a beat, responded, \"I'm the eye candy.\"\nA performance didn't elicit the greatest audience response. A chip did.\nIf the stars of the evening were technicians and innovators, the greater triumph of this year's Sci-Tech Awards was the unceasing wave of digital moviemaking, which is profoundly changing the role of actors and film itself. One of the awards went to the men behind the development of the MOVA Facial Performance Capture system, which first came to prominence reshaping Brad Pitt's visage in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. (There had been controversy leading up to the Sci-Tech Awards due to a credit dispute over the MOVA award, but Greg LaSalle, one of the recipients, tried to quell any possible bad blood by singling out the two men who were not included among the winners, Steve Perlman and John Speck.)\nAnd one of the evening's two Oscar statutes went to Dr. Larry Hornbeck, who in 1987 invented the digital micromirror that's used in TI's DLP projectors, which helped end the era of film projectors in theaters. Receiving a standing ovation, Hornbeck \u2014 in his early 70s and looking grandfatherly with his glasses and receding hairline \u2014 took to the podium and held aloft a digital micromirror, or DLP chip. \"Who would have ever believed \u2026 that this would change the way that the world sees new cinema?\" That prompted a few random ecstatic whoops. In the land of the Sci-Tech Awards, a performance didn't elicit the greatest audience response. A chip did.\nThe Academy Awards ceremony that will be held February 22 will include snippets from Saturday's event. (During a photo shoot of all the evening's recipients at the close of the night, a photographer advised the gathered honorees to smile. \"Remember,\" he said, \"this is for the main show!\") But the films vying for Oscars aren't so far removed from the innovations and transformations celebrated this evening. As Scientific and Technical Awards Chairman Richard Edlund assured the crowd at the beginning of the night, \"They wouldn't be able to make movies without us.\"\nSee the full list of award winners here.\nBirdman, The Theory of Everything, and The Imitation Game Earn 2015 Oscar Nominations\nOscar Watch: PM Picks the Winners!\nBehind the Scenes at the Most Important Hackathon on Earth\nPopular Mechanics Car Awards: The Most Important Automotive Technology of 2014\nThe Most (and Least) Important New Tech Products for November\nGravity Pulls in 7 Academy Awards\nHP DreamColor LP2480zx Professional Display",

        "raw_content": "\u00ab Gluino, Higgsino, bingo!\nAdvent Calendar 2012 December 10th \u00bb\nGluino, Higgsino, bingo!\nGluinos and Higgsinos are some of the many undiscovered particles we may find at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) if a theory called supersymmetry, also known as SUSY, turns out to be true. This theory is built on the Standard Model, the current theoretical model of particle physics.\nThe Standard Model relies on the Higgs boson to hold true. But even with this boson, physicists know that this model cannot be the final answer as it has a few shortcomings. For example, it fails to provide an explanation for dark matter or why the masses of fundamental particles such as electrons and muons are so different. This theory of supersymmetry is one of the most popular and most promising ways to extend the Standard Model, but it has yet to manifest itself.\nSUSY is very popular since it brings lots of harmony in the world of sub-atomic particles. In the Standard Model, there are two types of particles: fermions and bosons. The fermions include quarks and leptons and are the building blocks of matter. These particles have \u201cspin\u201d values of \u00bd. The force carriers are bosons, the other family of particles. They have integer values of spin, that is, 0 or 1.\nSupersymmetry would blend fermions and bosons together by associating partners to each particle: a fermion would be paired with a boson, and vice-versa. For example, each quark would come with a \u201csquark,\u201d the name given to the supersymmetric partners of quarks. The squarks would be bosons rather than fermions and would carry spin 0. The same thing goes for leptons. Likewise, the known bosons (gluons, Higgs, W, Z and photons) would come with fermion superpartners with half spin values. These would be the gluinos, Higgsinos, winos, zinos and photinos. A mixture of the force carrier superpartners (all except the gluinos) gives charginos and neutralinos, the latter being particles that would be the perfect candidates for dark matter.\nBut it is difficult to work with SUSY (nothing personal of course!). Even in its minimal version called the Minimal Supersymmetric Model or MSSM, the theory comes with 105 free parameters. This means each parameter, like the masses of all these particles, is free to take any value it likes.\nThink of a parameter as a dimension. Say we need a search party to locate hikers lost anywhere in the Alps. We would have to check every 10 m or so within that huge area. So even when trying to select one single point in a two-dimensional space, the task is daunting. The exact location can be any of a multitude of points within a huge two-dimensional space. Now try to imagine the same situation with a 105-dimensional object! It becomes hopeless.\nAdding some reasonable constraints helps such as saying the location can only be on firm ground and not in a lake. This is why theorists have been trying to limit the range of each parameter to reduce the space that would need to be searched to find all these new SUSY particles. A subset of the MSSM model called the Constrained MSSM (CMSSM) model was built leaving only a handful of free parameters. This was achieved by picking somehow arbitrary values for some of these parameters, often guided by taste or guesses for lack of experimental constraints. This is a bit as if in our search for the lost hikers, we decided to ignore Switzerland because we did not like cheese, instead of taking into account the hikers\u2019 interests or habits. But despite all its shortcomings, this model is still largely used.\nSince every new theory can only be valid if it can reproduce all known observations, the phenomenological MSSM or pMSSM model was developed using all sorts of measurements done over the past decades in particle physics to constrain the original set of 105 free parameters of the MSSM. With these experimental assumptions, the pMSSM model is reduced to 19 free parameters. There is progress.\nThree theorists Alex Arbey, Abdelhak Djouadi and Nazila Mahmoudi, and one experimentalist, Marco Battaglia, form one of the teams who are now going one step further. They are using all available experimental information to see which values of each parameter are still allowed for the different models. This technique requires lots of computing power to test each point of the multi-dimensional space but in the end, one can really see where supersymmetry can still hide.\nThis method had already revealed that very constrained and specific versions of SUSY like the CMSSM model were getting squeezed into small corners. On the other hand, the pMSSM model has been reduced considerably but still has plenty of space available. Taking into account the recent experimental constraints from the LHC and astrophysics results on dark matter searches, including the recent value obtained by LHCb on Bs mesons decaying into two muons, about 10% of the hundred million possibilities these scientists studied remain valid. And when the measurements on the Higgs-like boson mass and decay rates are taken into account, only 2.5% of the original scenarios in their study survive.\nThanks to this technique of weaving together experimental facts and theoretical knowledge, this team of scientists has been able to reduce a near infinite number of possibilities to only a few percent of what it originally was, making it easier to narrow down the search. Nevertheless, this still leaves plenty of space where one form or another of supersymmetry can exist. We might not be lucky enough to discover SUSY this year but will surely have a good chance at it once the LHC comes back to full power in 2015 after extensive work aimed at increasing the capacity of the accelerator in the coming two years.\nMeanwhile, SUSY is still alive and might be kicking around in one point of its now much more confined 105-dimensional space.",

        "raw_content": "A large bay in State A serves as an important state-operated port for major industrial and shipping companies. Prior to the implementation of modern environmental regulations, these industries and companies discharged a significant amount of waste into the river. As a result, the bottom of the river is now caked in a layer of industrial waste.\nPursuant to its power under the Commerce Clause, the federal government passes a law to facilitate the cleanup of waterways within the United States, including the bay in State A. The law allows the federal government to recoup cleanup costs from those businesses or other entities that operated along the waterways and contributed to the pollution.\nThe law also provides that these entities can in turn sue state governments to recoup costs attributable to the state government. In other words, if it can be demonstrated that the state government, through its operation of the port, was responsible for some of the business\u2019s pollution, the business may recover part of the cleanup costs from the state.\nS Corporation contributed to the pollution due to its operation of a paper mill near the bay in State A. The pollution was generated both by the production of its paper products and by the shipping of its paper products from the state-operated port in the bay. S corporation owes a significant amount of money to the federal government for the cleanup of this waste.\nS Corporation, in turn, sues State A and the individual state officers charged with running the state-operated port. S Corporation brought suit under the federal law to recover the cleanup costs attributable to the shipping services provided by the state-operated port. State A, in turn, argues: (1) the state government is immune from suit under the Eleventh Amendment, and (2) the individual state officers are immune from suit under the doctrine of Ex Parte Young.\nHow should the court rule on State A\u2019s arguments?

        "raw_content": "Three things we learned about Orange Is the New Black season 2\nExpect a new character, a strained relationship and a departure from the book in the show's upcoming second season\nBy Ciera Velarde\nIt\u2019s just under three months until Orange Is the New Black\u2019s second season hits Netflix on 6 June, but that\u2019s not going to stop the cast and creators of the show from hinting towards new characters and plot lines that are soon to be gracing our computer screens.\nThe majority of the cast and the creator of the show Jenji Kohan came together on Friday for a Q&A panel at PaleyFest in Hollywood, a yearly interactive pop culture event where fans can ask the cast and crew of their favourite shows their most burning questions.\nIn between giggles and jokes, Kohan and the OITNB cast did reveal some information about what will go down in Litchfield Federal Penitentiary next season.\nTo get your imagination going about what to expect from your favourite inmates this June, here\u2019s three things we learned from the show\u2019s panel at PaleyFest.\n1. A new character is bound to \u201cshake everything up\u201d in season 2\nTime to clear out a bunk bed\u2026a new inmate is checking into Litchfield. New character Vee has been billed as a street-smart drug dealer who used children as her runners. At Paleyfest, Lorraine Toussaint, the Law & Order actress cast to play Vee, reveals more about the complicated character.\n\u201cJenji has written one of the more complex characters I\u2019ve ever played, and probably one of the more difficult characters I\u2019ve played,\u201d Toussaint said. \u201cI think it\u2019ll be interesting seeing how this character is received, because Jenji has written a character that plays and enjoys the game.\u201d\nCast member Laverne Cox hints towards some troublesome behaviour from the show\u2019s newest inmate as well.\n\u201cShe shakes everything up \u2013 I mean, nothing\u2019s the same because of Vee,\u201d Cox teases.\n2. Piper and Larry won\u2019t exactly be on the smoothest of terms this season.\nAt the beginning of the series, it looked like main character Piper (played by Taylor Schilling) and her fianc\u00e9 were going to conquer all and beat the challenges of having Piper serve a 15-month sentence.\nBut after some incidents of infidelity on Piper\u2019s end in jail, it looks like Piper and Larry\u2019s relationship will be on the rocks this upcoming season.\n\u201cWhen we left Larry and Piper in season one, their relationship was precarious at best, and for Larry, season two is pretty much spent trying to figure out if the damage that was done to the relationship is irreparable or if there\u2019s something that they can mend there,\u201d Jason Biggs, who plays Larry, said. \u201cI think it\u2019s hard for him to just give up on it, so season two is spent with that sort of turmoil.\n3. Don\u2019t expect the series to follow the book it is inspired by\nOrange Is the New Black was inspired by the true story of Piper Kerman, an upper-middle class white woman sentenced to 15 months in prison for a mistake she made 10 years ago.\nKerman penned an autography called Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Women\u2019s Prison, but Kohan reveals that it\u2019s been extremely difficult to stick to the details Kerman presents in the book.\n\u201cWhen we started Season 1, legal said, \u2018You can\u2019t use any of the characters in the book because Piper\u2019s the only one who signed a release,'\u201d Kohan said. \u201cSo the thing very quickly became its own animal. Season 2 is more. It\u2019s all the little details you wanna know about.\u201d\nWho's who? | Meet the cast of Orange Is the New Black season 5\nOrange Is the New Black has really lost its way\nAll about Orange Is the New Black\nOrange Is the New Black season 2 premiere date announced\nOrange is the New Black renewed for third season",

        "raw_content": "How Does This Affect DDR and SDRAM?\nOne of the concerns expressed has been that royalty payments of 3% to 5% to DDR would give DRDRAM much more of a competitive situation, and would likely spell the doom of DDR. The fact is that normal market forces have caused SDRAM prices to swing from as low as $4 per chip to as much as $20 per chip in the past year alone. Even by eliminating the unusual circumstances that occurred in the Fall of 1999, prices have gone as high as $10, and may do so again in the near future. Based upon this, even a 5% royalty would have very little effect on prices in the long term, and chances are that the larger manufacturers will be able to negotiate favorable terms.\nIn addition, the DRAM memory industry has been in a consolidation mode during the past few years, with mergers or buyouts such as LGS and Hyundai, Micron and TI, and most recently NEC and Hitachi. This trend is likely to continue as large conglomerates let go of their unprofitable businesses to focus on more lucrative markets (such as Flash memories). This situation will likely result in more controlled production and more stable (and higher) prices, even without additional royalty payments.\nFor the near future, Micron is committed to SDRAM and to DDR as the follow on to SDRAM. They like the commodity memory market, and have done exceptionally well with it in the past few years, announcing record profits the last few quarters. Converting to DRDRAM production is expensive, and is still very problematic as evidenced by the yield issues reported by such companies as Samsung and NEC. Regardless of whether there are royalty payments to be paid, it would appear that Micron will be pushing DDR and SDRAM as long as the market is willing to buy it.\nWhat this means is that regardless of whether Rambus ends up owning the technology or not, it will likely have very little effect on which DRAM becomes the dominant player on the desktop. There are still DRDRAM proponents, and there are DDR proponents \u2013 both of which have their own agendas and power base, but it is the consumer that actually decides. Ultimately, just as with every other technology that has appeared, it will be price/performance that determines which becomes the standard over the next few years.\nSome believe Rambus\u2019 long-term objective is to block or hinder the newly formed DRAM alliance from developing a new packet-data DRAM for the PC market, buying time for acceptance of their own designs. It turns out that packet-data technology pre-dates Rambus by several years, and is in fact based upon an IEEE standard developed in 1986, which was also used in the now-defunct SLDRAM design.\nTherefore, unless Rambus is able to make SDRAM and DDR SDRAM economically unviable due to huge royalties, development and marketing will continue on just as it has. Most sources indicate that DDR based systems will be made available later this year, regardless of the outcome of Rambus licensing issues, and it will be at prices similar to SDRAM. In fact, sources within Micron have indicated that they believe price parity with SDRAM is essential to the acceptance of DDR.\nWhat causes the most concern is the fact that Rambus is completely unwilling to engage in the standard practice of cross-licensing, because they have no need to do so. Generally, when a company licenses their IP to another, they will give favorable terms if that company also owns useful patents. This helps to keep royalty costs down. Since Rambus has no products, they need no patents from others, putting them into a position of strength when negotiating licenses.",

        "raw_content": "Former Lampe Ranch on register of historic places\nThe William Lampe home on Jack's Berry Farm in Gardnerville. The ranch has been listed on the National Register of HIstoric Places.\nAbout five acres of the former Wilhelm Lampe Ranch in Gardnerville remain in cultivation, but these days instead of hay, it's growing berries.\nOn Friday, the National Park Service listed the ranch on the National Register of Historic Places. The Park Service also approved a special report on ranching in Douglas County and Carson City.\nThe report, called a multiple property documentation form, provides a history of ranching in the area, and establishes registration requirements for historic ranches, making it easier for property owners in the area to nominate their eligible agricultural property to the National Register. The National Register is the nation's official list of places worthy of preservation, recognizing important places and potentially qualifying them for certain grants and tax incentives.\nLampe purchased the ranch in 1872, mostly growing alfalfa and raising dairy cattle and sheep, but supporting other crops as well including wheat and barley.\nHe became a prominent leader in the German immigrant community of Carson Valley, becoming the land donor in 1885 for the establishment of the Lutheran Church's first building, just south of his ranch.\nUnder the operation of Wilhelm's son, William, in the early 1900s, the ranch grew to more than 300 acres.\nThe ranch also includes unique architectural landmarks, including the latest known construction of a Gothic Revival ranch house in Carson Valley, and an impressive barn that has been previously highlighted on the annual barn tours of the Douglas County Historical Society.\nToday, most of the former lands of the Lampe Ranch have been converted into neighborhoods and churches, but the main complex and a small section of farmland remains.\nJack and Diana Jacobs operate the Jacobs Family Berry Farm at the property, and continue to preserve this piece of Carson Valley's history.",

        "raw_content": "The African Americans\nThe African Americans: Many Rivers to Cross is the companion book to the six-part, six-hour documentary of the same name. The series is the first to air since 1968 that chronicles the full sweep of 500 years of African American history, from the origins of slavery on the African continent and the arrival of the first black conquistador, Juan Garrido, in Florida in 1513, through five centuries of remarkable historic events right up to Barack Obama's second term as president, when the United States still remains deeply divided by race and class. The book explores these topics in even more detail than possible in the television series, and examines many other fascinating matters as well, guiding readers on an engaging journey through the Black Atlantic world-from Africa and Europe to the Caribbean, Latin America, and the United States-to shed new light on what it has meant, and means, to be an African American. By highlighting the complex internal debates and class differences within the black experience in this country, readers will learn that the African American community, which black abolitionist Martin R. Delany described as a \"nation within a nation,\" has never been a truly uniform entity, and that its members have been debating their differences of opinion and belief from their very first days in this country. The road to freedom for black people in America has not been linear; rather, much like the course of a river, it has been full of loops and eddies, slowing and occasionally reversing current. Ultimately, this book emphasizes the idea that African American history encompasses multiple continents and venues, and must be viewed through a transnational perspective to be fully understood.\nAuthor(s): Henry Louis Gates, Donald Yacovone\nThe Memoirs of Willi...\nThe Education of Hen...",

        "raw_content": "What does 2019 have in store for the Accountancy profession?\nIt\u2019s the beginning of the new year, so what better way to start it than by looking forward to what developments we can expect from the profession this year, and what rumours there are about how things might be changing.\nOver the last year we saw huge developments in technology, and there are many digital tools now optimising processes and aiding paperless accounting. Yet as technology continues to advance and further automate numerous functions, there\u2019s no danger of us being replaced by robots any time soon!\nIn saying that, it\u2019s believed that by 2020, labour-intensive tasks such as tax preparation, payroll, audits and banking could be fully automated \u2013 a trend that\u2019s considered the greatest transformation since the introduction of double-entry bookkeeping.\nBut discussions of a robot revolution are certainly seeming more sensational than factual. In the real world, the technologies transforming the financial industry will in no way render the human factor redundant.\nInstead, technologies like the cloud, artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain will empower accountants \u2014 and the entire financial services industry \u2014 by reducing manual data entry and improving the speed, accuracy and quality of data. Accountants who embrace new technological developments quickly are likely to be those who succeed in the long term.\nAccording to Accounting Today, by 2026, the global market for accounting software will have a value of $11.8 billion. With cloud accounting and software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications and the ability to access financial data from any internet-enabled device, virtualisation is fast becoming the new norm.\nThe growing ecosystem of applications that integrate with accounting platforms has also proven to be efficient by connecting and streamlining back-office processes for a wide range of businesses and industries, so much so that we don\u2019t really notice it \u2013 everything just works.\nThe rise of QuickBooks\nEmerging accountancy software brand QuickBooks Online reached 2 million subscribers worldwide in 2017, with the figures for 2018 to be announced shortly (though we\u2019re expecting them to be high). Of those, there\u2019s still a substantial user base for QuickBooks Desktop, so given that the target users for QuickBooks Online are small to medium-sized businesses, accountants may have some work to do in introducing businesses to the cloud \u2013 if that\u2019s their preferred option.\nAI for data exchange\nSome companies are now fully embracing smart contracts and blockchain to exchange secure information between businesses and lenders. AI components are then used to verify the information and ensure that both parties see the information in near-real time.\nWhile algorithms will continue to get more powerful and efficient at compiling big data, computers are only great transactional machines. They can\u2019t replace the interpretive capacity of the human mind. Technology will give us access to better data, but accountants are the ones who\u2019ll have to apply this information to the real world to provide crucial business insights and intelligence.\nAll roads lead to Blockchain\nAt last year\u2019s Accounting and Finance Show L.A., blockchain and smart contracts dominated conversations.\nA single-ledger technology, blockchain is a delivery method that lets users from several sources access the same information in near-real time. For instance, if a business\u2019 risk profile is hashed (tied) to the blockchain, the business and its potential lenders or investors can all access the profile simultaneously.\nIf a change is made by one party, everyone with access can see this change as soon as it\u2019s validated. Transactions that used to take hours or days will now take minutes or seconds. This speed also comes with greater security and transparency. Auditing, compliance and reconciliation will all be faster and more accurate. Now you\u2019ll just need to factor that into your costings!\nAs administrative tasks become automated, forward-thinking accountants can build value through services like cash-flow consulting. Time and again, cash flow is cited as a business-killer. For accountants who seize the opportunity to turn better and more accurate data into actionable insights, the future is more than assured.\nAs we\u2019ve been saying for years: human accountants should never be underrated. The specialised training accountants receive will both gain and add value as part of the fourth industrial revolution. People create ideas and build businesses, and accountants are needed as trusted advisers. The technology may change, but the dynamics will remain the same and more than likely strengthen.\nIf you or your colleagues are looking to advance in your training this year, give us a call.",

Phylogeny attempts to establish the evolutionary history of a species, and taxonomy classifies organisms by this history.\nKey to the study of phylogeny is the theory that different types of modern species are descended from a common ancestor. Such records are determined by hypotheses of relationship supported by evidence from fossil records, DNA testing and research from the fields of palaeontology, comparative anatomy, comparative embryology and molecular genetics. The results are organized in charts that resemble standard family trees and form the basis for the scientific \"tree of life.\" Taxonomy classifies and names organisms based on their place within this tree.\nEarly forms of taxonomic classification grouped organisms based solely on shared physical characteristics and had no real scientific basis. While some modern hypotheses originated in the same way, such ideas are tested to determine whether those similarities are based on an organism's adaptation to its environment or if they are the result of inheritance from a common ancestor.\nThe earliest forms of taxonomy based on shared physical characteristics, regardless of ancestry, have evolved into modern cladistics. This science also assumes evolutionary relationships, but does not assume that characteristics shared by two related species necessarily existed in the organism from which the species originated.\nWhat Is Biological Spectrum?\nWhat Are Biological Mutant Agents?\nBiological Classification System Based on Phylogeny\nBiological Classification System\nLevels of Biological Classification Systems\nScience Classification Systems\nLinnean Classification System",

        "raw_content": "The proposed legislation will also make drivers aware of what data is being collected\nCars will have to be much better protected against hacking and new privacy standards will govern data collected from vehicles under proposed legislation introduced in the U.S. Senate on Tuesday.\nThe Security and Privacy in Your Car Act of 2015 seeks to get a step ahead of what is seen by some as one of the next fronts in hacking: connected vehicles, which are always on the Internet and rely on sophisticated computer control systems.\nProposed by Senators Edward J. Markey, a Democrat from Massachusetts, and Richard Blumenthal, a Democrat from Connecticut, the act would mandate that critical software systems in cars be isolated and the entire vehicle be safeguarded against hacking by using \"reasonable measures.\" The proposed bill doesn't define those measures.\nData stored in the car should be secured to prevent unauthorized access and vehicles will also have to detect, alert and respond to hacking attempts in real time.\nUnder the proposed law, new privacy standards, to be developed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), will require vehicle owners be made aware of what data is being collected, transmitted and shared. Owners will be offered the chance to opt out of such data collection without losing access to key navigation or other features where feasible.\nThe NHTSA will also be tasked with developing an easy method for consumers to evaluate how well an automaker goes beyond the minimum standards defined in the proposed law.\nTo date, there have been few examples of cyber attacks on cars, but security researchers have demonstrated that it's possible to take over the critical control systems of a car while it is in motion.\nBMW earlier this year patched a vulnerability in its connected drive system that allowed an attacker to remotely unlock a car. BMW had not enabled encryption on its servers, allowing an attacker to mimic the server and send a lock or unlock command to a car. The fix was as simple as enabling HTTPS, but 2.2 million cars had to be upgraded.\nMarkey took up the issue of cyber security in cars in late 2013, when he sent letters to 20 major automakers asking them how they protected information collected from vehicles and guarded against cyber attacks. The answers to those letters laid the ground for a report published in 2014 that found cars inadequately protected against potential cyberattack.\nTags governmentlegislationbmw",

        "title": "Movie Review: \u2018What Men Want\u2019 Starring Taraji P. Henson, Josh Brener, Aldis Hodge | Review St. Louis",
        "raw_content": "Posted: February 8, 2019 at 10:18 am / by Guest Author / comments (0)\ntags: Aldis Hodge, Auston Jon Moore, Brian Bosworth, Chris Witaske, Josh Brener, kellan lutz, Max Greenfield, Phoebe Robinson, review, Richard Roundtree, Tamala Jones and Erykah Badu, Taraji P. Henson, Tracy Morgan, Wendi McLendon-Covey, What Men Want, What Women Want\nReview by Kathleen Kaiser\nFrom Matinee Chat\nAs we meet the very talented Sports Exec/Manager Ali Davis (Taraji P. Henson), the \u201cboys club\u201d that she isn\u2019t a part of, which is stifling her career. When a freak accident leads to her being able to hear what men think, Ali has just received \u201ca gift from the Gods\u201d that might just save her career, and her fledgling love life too\u2026\nI give WHAT MEN WANT a rating between MUST SEE ON THE BIG SCREEN!\nTaraji P. Henson is superb in this role, as we get to see a comedic side to her, through this character, that we aren\u2019t often privy too. She is fantastic playing the rough and demanding Ali, who is forced to acquire these attributes to go toe-to-toe with the men in her profession.\nAnd talk about the perfect comedic timing throughout\u2026 let\u2019s just say I\u2019m hoping that after this film, Henson will be given many more roles that will let her comedic prowess shine through! I also loved the compilation of men counterparts that were cast for this remake as well, as between Josh Brener playing Henson\u2019s \u201cperfect Assistant\u201d, to Aldis Hodge playing the \u201csuper-hot, and super perfect boyfriend\u201d to Former NFL Player Brian Bosworth playing her asshole boss (totally perfect casting!), to one of my favorite sitcom dudes \u2013 Max Greenfield \u2013 playing her friend and colleague, and then throwing in Tracy Morgan to play the \u201cfather on a mission\u201d to see his son reach his \u201cfull potential\u201d in the Basketball arena.\nThis film has some very top-notch casting every step of the way, which affords it the much needed boost, that the original lacked immensely! And lest we not forget the funny and heartfelt performances by Taraji\u2019s lady counterparts in this film too, including Phoebe Robinson, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Tamala Jones, and Erykah Badu. Without these lovely ladies, this storyline would have gone nowhere!\nAnd even though we assume that men\u2019s minds manage to not deviate too far from the importance of money, sex and sports in their lives, WHAT MEN WANT does manage to jokingly go to other places within a man\u2019s psyche, which goes to prove there is a lot more going on in their minds than we, as women, think there is, they just can\u2019t always find a way to express \u201call those thoughts\u201d no matter how hard they try!\nI was intrigued to see how they would re-write this remake too, as I must share that 2000\u2019s WHAT WOMEN WANT was not a \u201cmust see\u201d film for me, as the lack of chemistry between Gibson and Hunt was so palatable, I found myself wanting to leave the theater before it was through. But, I am happy to report, that having seen the advanced screening of this film, and then heading back to theater for its opening night release with one of my bff\u2019s in town again last night, WHAT MEN WANT was just as funny and engaging the second time around, which for me, is a true testament to the performances throughout!\nI suggest you head to a theater near you this weekend, to check out this incredibly funny film, filled with absolutely perfect performances all the way through too!",

        "title": "Sales Managers, What Can We Learn from the NBA\u2019s Greatest Coaches?",
        "raw_content": "Sales Managers, What Can We Learn from the NBA\u2019s Greatest Coaches?\nThe NBA has a history of great coaches. Charged with leading their teams through countless lessons, practices, and games, these coaches must empower, improve, and harmonize their players to ensure they perform at their best. Similarly, sales managers are responsible for leading their teams of reps to victory. Just like an NBA coach and their players, sales managers need to empower, improve, and harmonize their team to ensure they reach goal after goal. In fact, there\u2019s a lot sales managers can learn from NBA players.\nCreate Thinkers\nA cornerstone of Phil Jackson\u2019s approach was turning players into true thinkers who made their own decisions throughout a game. He said, \u201cI\u2019ve always been interested in getting players to think for themselves so that they can make difficult decisions in the heat of battle.\u201d Instead of players who simply knew positions and movements, he developed his team into thinkers who actively sought out the best way to move the ball with little to no instruction. This not only created a team that was unpredictable, but could perform under pressure when there was no option for a time-out.\nSimilarly, you must coach your reps to make their own decisions. In order to be successful, a rep must move beyond the simple path of moving a lead through the sales process. They must actively make the right decisions, have the right conversations, and create the right offers to win leads on their own.\nRather than bringing a rep step-by-step through a specific deal, help them make their own decisions by guiding their thought process, not their sales process. When a rep creates their own procedure, it allows them to retain the knowledge and apply the experience to future negotiations. Instead of constantly trying to fit their square peg (cookie-cutter sales process) into a round hole (different deals), reps will be able to adjust their process on the fly to maximize results.\nIt\u2019s important to bring your relationships beyond that of player and coach. Avery Johnson (current Alabama NCAA Coach) contributes his initial success with the Dallas Mavericks to the personal relationships he had with the players. The personal connections allowed Johnson to work on a deeper level with each individual team member, bringing them all together as a cohesive unit.\nAs a sales manager, you should get to know your reps on a personal level. Understand their motivations, strengths, weaknesses, career aspirations, and dreams. When you know what drives your reps, you can leverage their skills and backgrounds to put them on paths to achieve their goals. Fostering these connections and aligning aspirations with actions helps reps feel personally vested in the company and its goals, increasing productivity.\nInvest in Development\nThe Miami Heat and Coach Erik Spoelstra have recently proven the importance of player development. Miami pulls players up through the D-League and drafts unproven talent that they feel intrinsically have skills that fit into their system, but lack real NBA experience. They invest in the players that they feel have the right raw skills, then shape them into vital assets.\nThe same holds true for sales teams. While it is important to have veteran salespeople with proven experience, you should recruit reps that have the basic qualities you look for in a salesperson. Then, invest in coaching, education, and training to shape them into your own version of an all-star rep.\nWatching game film is obviously incredibly important. It has permeated every level of every organized sport. Game film not only allows teams and players to understand their opponents, their tendencies, and capabilities, but it shines a light on your own team. By watching film of themselves, players understand what they could have done better. From a macro perspective, they can see when they should have gotten open, passed the ball, or when they lost a defensive position. On a micro level, a player can examine things like shooting form, timing, and positioning.\nStudying game film also allows players to learn from top performers. Kobe Bryant himself said, \u201cThere isn\u2019t a move that\u2019s a new move, there\u2019s nothing that hasn\u2019t been done before\u2026 I seriously have stolen all these moves from the greatest players.\u201d\nReps should not only listen to their own call recordings, but also those of top performing reps. Reps can study their pitches, how they handle certain questions, and analyze their calls to improve. Recording also allows reps to virtually sit \u201cnext to\u201d to performers when it is convenient to them and learn from the greatest.\nPhil Jackson employed a particularly creative method with the Bulls. When he felt the team needed an extra push, he would have them practice in the dark. While there was still enough light to effectively move the ball, the darkness disrupted the player\u2019s norm enough to break them out of their typical mindset and force them to really think about what they were doing. The plays, passes, and shots that might have normally been done on autopilot were suddenly foreign. If you drive down a road in the dark every night, then suddenly take in the afternoon, it\u2019s a completely different experience.\nIn the context of your sales team, each of your reps likely has a process or particular methods they are familiar with and like to use. You should bring your reps out of their comfort zones by having them do things they struggle with. For example, if a rep has trouble making calls to C-level executives, you should have him/her make calls to them until it is something they can do confidently.\nPrev:Consistent Coaching = Sales Rep Retention\nNext:3 Types of Sales Metrics You Need to Track!\nOf all the challenges sales leaders face, retaining developed reps has to be one of the hardest.

        "raw_content": "Second Grand Jury Votes To Indict Charlotte Police Officer\nOn behalf of Roberts Law Group, PLLC posted in Murder on Friday, January 31, 2014.\nA Charlotte police officer was indicted on voluntary manslaughter charges this week, the second opportunity a Grand Jury has had to consider the facts and charges in the case. The first Grand Jury to review the shooting death of Jonathan Ferrell declined to indict the Charlotte cop, Randall Kerrick, on voluntary manslaughter charges. That Grand Jury had requested the case be resubmitted with lesser charges.\nProsecutors involved in the case declined to lower the charges against Kerrick and instead submitted the bill of indictment to a second Grand Jury. Kerrick's criminal defense team fought the second submission, but was unsuccessful. Kerrick fired 12 shots at Ferrell the night he was killed. At least a portion of the shooting was captured on the officer's in-cruiser dash camera. Reports of the shooting note that Ferrell was unarmed, prompting many to question whether Kerrick's use of force was reasonable and ultimately leading to his recent indictment on criminal charges.\nKerrick was arrested at the order of the Police Chief on the same day of the shooting for using excessive force. The highly-publicized officer-involved shooting has raised doubts about whether an impartial jury can be impaneled to hear the case, should it go to trial. Kerrick's defense attorney doesn't expect the voluntary manslaughter case to wind its way through the North Carolina criminal justice system until the end of the year, at the earliest.\nThere is no prohibition in North Carolina against the submission of the same information to a Grand Jury for consideration after one Grand Jury has declined to indict or return a true bill.\nSource: Charlotte Observer, \"CMPD Officer Kerrick indicted in shooting of unarmed man,\" January 27, 2014\nTags: Indictment, grand jury, murder\nRelated Posts: NC Man To Be Extradited To DC On Murder Charges, Man Accused Of Killing Girlfriend With Car In Ashe County, Charges Dropped Against Woman Who Claimed To Hire A Hitman",

        "raw_content": "The teenage forward, whose contract was due to expire this summer, penned a new two-year deal on Friday, and he says these past 12 months have been a big learning curve for him.\n\u201cI\u2019ve never experienced anything like it [the last day great escape]. It was surreal having that happen during my first year as a professional,\u201d said Gillam.\n\u201cThe results, especially during the second half of the season, didn\u2019t always reflect our performances. There were games where we should have been drawing or winning, but we\u2019d end up dropping points because we weren\u2019t seeing them out, but in the end, we managed to stay up. There was always a belief that we could avoid relegation \u2013 we never thought we were going down - and it showed on the final day as everything fell into place for us.\n\u201cWhen you play for a first team, every game is a must-win game, whereas when you\u2019re playing as a Youth Team player, although you obviously want to win, nothing depends on it, but here, and in particular this season, everything depended on it because we wanted to stay in League One. Being involved in that has given me the chance to learn how to deal with and get an important understanding of those types of pressures, which can only stand me in good stead.\n\u201cI\u2019ve got to remember everything I\u2019ve learned and all the experiences I\u2019ve had this year and take them into next season. Scoring on my full league debut against Charlton was a really good moment for me, as was contributing as a sub towards the end of the season. It all counts and it all adds up.\u201d\nHaving been offered a two-year deal, Gillam is grateful for the opportunity to extend his stay at the club.\n\u201cI\u2019m really happy to have been offered a new contract at the club and I\u2019m pleased to have signed on for another two years. It\u2019s a good feeling knowing I\u2019ve made enough of an impact to get myself another deal.\n\u201cI want to be in the Gaffer\u2019s future plans and I want to get in the team. I want to be starting more games than I\u2019m starting on the bench, so over the two years, I think I\u2019ve got enough time to try and cement myself into that place, but I want to do it sooner rather than later.\n\u201cI need to be at optimal level come the start of the season, because that\u2019s what required to play here, so I\u2019ve already started making sure that I\u2019m keeping fit over the summer.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Who Is Donald McGahn? Trump's White House Counsel Pick Has Been There Since The Campaign\nA lawyer who's served as a former Federal Election Committee (FEC) chairman joined President-elect Donald Trump's Cabinet on Friday. But who is Donald McGahn, and why does Trump want him on his team? McGahn has been constant throughout Trump's campaigning as well as his transition, so a Cabinet appointment was a likely next step: McGahn's extensive legal work proves especially valuable to the President-elect's needs.\nIn announcing the choice, Trump noted: \"Don has a brilliant legal mind, excellent character and a deep understanding of constitutional law.\" McGahn responded to the appointment by saying: \"President-elect Trump is a bold leader committed to draining the swamp in Washington and restoring economic prosperity and security. I look forward to serving the American public in this role.\" Whereas Trump and McGahn may align in their boldness as well as their valuing of \"economic prosperity and security,\" the insinuation that appointing McGahn will assist in \"draining the swamp\" does not compute; McGhan has been called a \"Beltway insider\" in the past, so his values have definitely been informed by a government-focused perspective.\nA current partner at Jones Day, McGahn's career has been spent in government and political law, notably working to diminish restrictions on campaign financing. Repeatedly referred to as \"one of the people most responsible for loosening regulations on campaign spending,\" McGahn has been professionally invested in politics for decades. What's more, he isn't the first McGahn who's represented Trump; His uncle worked for Trump in a business capacity, though \"the alliance cracked in a bitter feud over money.\"\nNewsweek notes that, while a member of the FEC, McGahn \"checked the authority of the agency\u2019s staff and general counsel and used his experience as a lawyer representing clients to win rights for political committees under the FEC\u2019s jurisdiction, including those the commission is investigating,\" according to one of his colleagues. FEC Commissioner Ellen Weintraub, a Democrat, went so far as to assert: \"He did his best to undermine the law.\"\nAs a member of the White House counsel, McGahn will be responsible for \"vetting potential judicial and executive branch nominees, addressing national-security related legal questions, and setting and enforcing ethics rules,\" as well as \"preparing executive orders issued by the president, ensuring that they are constitutional.\" Trump appears to have chosen McGahn for his loyalty as well as his proven ability to navigate political restrictions. In appointing McGahn for White House Counsel, it's likely that Trump is confident that this endeavor with McGahn will end a lot more positively than the one with this uncle did.",

        "raw_content": "Who Is The Democratic Super Tuesday Winner? Both Candidates Ran Competitive Campaigns\nWhile trying to figure out who would take the Republican races on Super Tuesday was super confusing, it was clear to see, even early in the evening, that the Democratic Super Tuesday winner would likely be former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders won his home state in Vermont, but Clinton swept most of the early reporting states, setting the tone for the rest of the night. The pundits' projections leading up to Tuesday night, it seemed, were largely accurate.\nIn Virginia, for example, Clinton took 67 percent of the vote, with Sanders only walking away with 32 percent. In Georgia, it was over 70 percent for Clinton and 30 percent for Sanders. Regardless of his losses, just after losing Georgia and Virginia, Sanders spoke to supporters in Vermont and reminded them that this isn't a general election, so the numbers, while depressing, didn't matter as much. \"At the end of the night, we will have won many delegates,\" he told voters at a speech in Essex Junction, Vermont. \"This campaign is not just about electing a president, it is about making a political revolution.\u201d\nBut it might not have been enough for Sanders on Super Tuesday. As the results came in for the other states, that certainly seemed to be the case. In Massachusetts and Oklahoma, the two candidates finished just a few percentage points away from each other. But in Tennessee, Sanders suffered another blowout when Clinton took over 60 percent of the vote. As Super Tuesday drew to a close, Clinton was the clear winner.\nIt is true that in a general election, Clinton could have a more difficult time winning the same states that she did on Super Tuesday. But that didn't seem to phase the the former Secretary this week. Clinton spoke to supporters in Miami, Florida on Tuesday night and took the Republican nominees to task for running on platforms that would divide the country. \"We're all in this together, whether we like it or not,\" she said, to a round of applause.\nTuesday was a busy night for both campaigns, and although the results in some states were still very close near the end of the evening, it was Clinton who walked away from the experience on a high note.",

In general, however, they have a friendly nature and are looking for long lasting relationships! Due to the fact that many American women choose to concentrate on their careers rather than on the home life, many of these men are searching for family-oriented yet intelligent foreign women, as they value family and want to create satisfactory and stable relationships.

Operating in this environment makes these companies highly sensitive to competitive and economic market conditions. And although demand has declined, customer loyalty is now at a premium. The expectations of these customers, moreover, have continued to expand with the evolution of the global marketplace.\nThis is most apparent within a certain segment of the hospitality customer base \u2013 millennials. Unsurprisingly, they will become the core customer over the next five to ten years. But what does this mean for talent development?\nThe top priority now is managing a talent pool that puts a premium on personalized experience and customer interaction. In addition, given the increasingly sophisticated nature of today\u2019s international travelers, hospitality employees must understand, appreciate, and engage customers of many different cultures if they are to be successful.\nFor the hospitality and leisure industry to meet these challenges of globalization, geographic expansion, and growing demand, its companies will need to be more proactive in attracting and retaining superior talent. The rapidly changing online marketplace makes this need even more important. Thus, many of our clients are recruiting leading executives from technology organizations and other consumer brands.

        "raw_content": "The Liberty Suit 1977\n'The Liberty Suit' is a play written by Peter Sheridan in collaboration with 20 year old Mannix Flynn who is 18 months out of prison.\nMannix Flynn is an actor who has spent much of his childhood and teenage years in various institutions. Now \u2018The Liberty Suit\u2019 is in rehearsal with actors Tom Jordan, Gabriel Byrne, Gerard McSorley and Peter Caffrey.\nInspiration for the characters in the play come from a diverse mix of people Mannix Fynn met while in prison. Early personal experiences form the social and cultural background from which the play emerges.\nReared in the inner city, one of a family of fifteen, opportunities were scarce.\nGrowing up in York Street, when I was a kid\u2026like every other kid, wants to play around, you know? I mean, in our area, there was no facilities to play around, so the only playground I had was Grafton Street or Georges Street\u2026the only thing to play with was the shops. So therefore you end up robbin\u2019\u2026\nMannix Flynn was sent to Letterfrack Industrial School in County Galway, and then in 1973 went into Saint Patrick's Institution for Young Offenders. Placed in solitary confinement following an incident, and at his lowest ebb, he realised what he wanted to do was to perform, entertain people, and write.\nActors would come into the prison to put on plays for the prisoners, but at that time, facilities for prisoners to develop their writing and acting interests were few and far between. He started writing his own sketches, and performed to acclaim at prison concerts.\nActor Peter Caffrey recalls performing in a pantomime in Saint Patrick\u2019s and his first encounter with Mannix Flynn.\nWhen I appeared on the stage this huge roar went up from this gang in the audience, and there was one fella in particular who was heckling all the time, so I was throwing back the standard anti-heckler jokes and lines, and I couldn\u2019t get the better of him, this guy was being funnier than me, and I didn\u2019t like that at all\u2026afterwards I asked to be introduced to the fella, and it was Mannix himself.\nSometime later, a chance encounter between Peter Caffrey and Mannix Flynn on a Dublin street led to theatre work and eventually a small part for Mannix in Jim Sheridan\u2019s play \u2018Mobile Homes\u2019 for the Dublin Theatre Festival,\nI had to go on the stage and say a few words and throw a few bricks\u2026the next morning the reviews came out, and I was very surprised because I didn\u2019t believe it, because it was such a small part, that I got a good review.\nFollowing that Mannix got more work in theatre, and in 1978 he appeared in the RT\u00c9 drama series \u2018The Spike\u2019.\nThis episode of \u2018P.M.\u2019 was broadcast on 28 September 1977. The reporter is \u00c1ine O'Connor .\n\u2018P.M.\u2019 was a magazine series reporting on aspects of Irish life with interludes for music from Irish performers.

We are a convenient jumping off point for our guests to discover the city and enjoy all that the Seacoast has to offer.\nHUMBLE BEGINNINGS & HOSPITALITY\nThe land on which The Sailmaker's House sits was purchased from Thomas Pierce in 1822 by John Holbrook. As a sailmaker, John conducted business at his waterfront shop downtown, pictured above. Upon his death in 1883, John left the house to his wife Sarah, who sold the property in 1902. Throughout the 1900\u2019s the land switched hands multiple times and became an inn in the early 1980\u2019s. The Sailmaker\u2019s House was established in 2017 and is proud to continue in the tradition of the last 30 years.

        "raw_content": "\u201cI lay down My life for the sheep.\u201d John 10:15b Previously, Jesus said in the parable of the good shepherd vs false shepherd that the good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. Now Jesus personalizes this saying \u201cI lay down my life for the sheep\u201d making it clear that He is the Good Shepherd. Jesus will soon lay down His life at the cross for the whole world. The eternal plan of the Father was for Jesus to lay down His life for the sheep. Jesus willingly did this out of His love for the Father and for humanity who were originally made in the image and likeness of God. His self-sacrifice motivated by love not only saves us, but also leads us into the green pastures of His Word by His Spirit to recreate us into the image and likeness of God once again. As we allow the Spirit and Word to take root in us by doing it, we are day by day conformed into His image. Our Good Shepherd will lead us to the path of righteousness and love.\nThe love of the Father is fully manifested in the Son laying down His life and taking it up again in His resurrection. He had the authority of the Father to do this. Jesus said in John 10:17-18, \u201cThe reason My Father loves Me is that I lay down My life \u2013 only to take it up again. No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of My own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from My Father.\u201d While Jesus walked the earth in His flesh body, He had all authority given Him by God. They were One \u2013 equal in power and authority because they are both God and holy. Jesus raised Himself from earthly death to eternal, spiritual life restoring Himself back to His original place with the Heavenly Father.\nWhile Jesus walked the earth, He focused His ministry on the \u201chouse of Israel.\u201d He came to the Jew first because God had chosen the Jews to be His light to the world. Obviously, they were human just like those in the church, and didn\u2019t do it perfectly which is why God had to reproduce to send His holy and perfectly obedient Son to save all \u2013 both Jews and Gentiles. The other sheep Jesus is referring to are the Gentiles \u2013 all other nations, tribes and people. The \u201csheep pen\u201d represents the Jews. After Pentecost, Jesus\u2019 Jewish disciples empowered by the Holy Spirit took the gospel of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles. There had been many gentiles throughout the ages converted to Judaism. In Christ, however, all \u2013 both Jews and Gentiles \u2013 must believe in Jesus to become \u201cone new man (body)\u201d (see Ephesians 2:15) in Him. In Ezekiel 37:17-19, God showed this uniting to the prophet Ezekiel using Judah and Israel. The Lord uses the \u201cnatural\u201d to teach \u201cspiritual\u201d truth. God honored the Jews despite their imperfection by sending Jesus to earth through a Jewish virgin. What the Jews and the Law couldn\u2019t do for God\u2019s people, Jesus did!\nLike the earthly sheep pen Jesus was using to teach spiritual truth, there were many folds led by different shepherds but were one flock. This is true in the spiritual as well. There are many folds, but only one flock (Body) with One Holy and Perfect Shepherd \u2013 Jesus. In the New Testament, Jesus is referred to as the Good Shepherd, the Chief Shepherd and the Great Shepherd. (see 1 Peter 5:4: Hebrews 13:20)\nAt these words, the Jews were again divided. Many of them said, \u201cHe is demon-possessed and raving mad. Why listen to Him?\u201d John 10:19\nBut others said, \u201cThese are not the sayings of a man possessed by a demon. Can a demon open blind eyes?\u201dv20\nJesus did not withhold the Truth. He spoke only Truth to them. Some Jews believed in Jesus and some did not. This is nothing new. There are those today and throughout the ages who believe in Jesus and His Truth, and those who don\u2019t.\nThen came the Feast of Dedication at Jerusalem. It was winter, and Jesus was in the temple area walking in Solomon\u2019s Colonnade. John 10:22-23\nThis Feast is also known as the Festival of Lights (Hanukah). This Feast of Dedication celebrated the re-cleansing of the Temple and its re-dedication to the Lord. The king of Syria had desecrated the temple by turning it into a house of prostitution and didn\u2019t allow the Jews to circumcise their male babies or possess a copy of the law. Instead the Syrians sacrificed pigs on the altar and sold the Jews into slavery. This evil king oppressed the Jews in every way even putting many to death. He also tried to abolish Jewish worship. A group of Jews referred to as the Maccabees who were willing to fight for their country and their religion took control of Judea from the king of Syria. They purified the temple and lit the 7-branched candlestick but only 1 cruse of pure oil could be found to light the menorah for one day. Miraculously, God let that one cruse of pure, consecrated oil last 8 days \u2013 the length of the feast\u2014until new oil could be prepared as God directed. This oil had to also be consecrated by the High Priest. Jesus, the Light of the world and the Supreme High Priest, would eventually pour out the eternal oil of the Holy Spirit to keep His spiritual light and fire burning within us forever. The oil of the Holy Spirit will also defeat the spiritual enemy of God's people. Jesus is walking in the temple down Solomon\u2019s colonnade (porch). The Living Temple of God not made by human hands was walking in the earthly temple made by human hands in Jerusalem. Solomon means \"peace.\" Jesus is the the eternal King of peace.\nJohn in this scripture said that it was winter, so Jesus is walking through Solomon\u2019s covered colonnade to be sheltered from the weather. Solomon\u2019s colonnade is on the eastern side of the temple by the outer court. Jesus is our shelter from the storm.He never leaves or forsakes us.\nDuring this Feast, Jerusalem and the temple were illuminated by large menorahs, and lights were in every house. God\u2019s holy city was full of light. These lights reminded the Jews of God\u2019s provision of oil for the great 7-branched menorah. Seven is the number of perfection/completion. Jesus said, \u201cI am the Light of the world.\u201d He is the perfect and full Light. Jesus is giving the perfect Light of truth to His audience. It was the Word of God that brought light in Genesis. It is the Word of God \u2013 Jesus \u2013 who is giving the Light of truth in the Gospels. With Jesus and His Word in our hearts, we become the Light of the world whether Jew or Gentile. God is no respecter of persons!",

        "raw_content": "E-Verify beneficial\nI am responding to the July 10 column by Ruben Navarrette Jr.: \u201cFor Latinos, Rubio\u2019s sellout renders him a fallen star.\u201d\nIt is my opinion that all legal American Latino citizens would want what is best for all legal American citizens and what is best for America. We should not be a divided nation.\nE-Verify is a program that is beneficial and also protects employment for all legal American citizens. All E-Verify does is verify that the Social Security number is authentic and that the person applying for the job is legal to do so. The scare tactic that Mr. Navarrette is preaching, that E-Verify would discourage employers from hiring Latinos, is a fallacy. Wouldn\u2019t you want to know if your Social Security number had been stolen, before it is time for you to retire?\nAs far as Marco Rubio supporting the Arizona immigration law, there is nothing wrong with anyone supporting any law \u2013 as we are supposed to be a land of laws. If we neglect to enforce our laws, we will become a land of anarchy.\nAs far as Marco Rubio not supporting the Dream Act, don\u2019t you think our help and tax money should go to help our legal American youth, instead of helping illegal alien youth, no matter how they were brought to America? We have many legal American youth, of every color, race and creed, that need assistance to achieve a higher education.\nMy last comment is one that everyone should understand. The word \u201cillegal\u2019 means exactly that, illegal! Against the law \u2026 breaking the law \u2026 not lawful!\nRe \u201cLessons on history,\u201d July 1.\nThis is interesting for several reasons, not the least in how he tortures history:\n1) He seems to get his \u201cfacts\u201d from novelists and Hollywood filmmakers 140 years, more or less, after the war. Consider, for example, the native-born Tejanos with Southern European surnames who rebelled against Mexico along with naturalized Mexican citizens in Texas with Northern European surnames, who also shouted \u201cRequerden el Alamo!\u201d and declared that they were Americans rather than Mexicans at the 1836 battle of San Jacinto. In 2011, are they unsung American heroes or villainous traitors to Mexico, and by whose biased yardstick? How would a scriptwriter and a film director portray them now, according to subjective opinion combined with selling seats as well as pandering to the professional victimization theory crowd which eternally wallows in the past?\nAnd, contrary to the letter\u2019s assertion, St. Patrick\u2019s day is celebrated in Ireland in honor of a 4th century Irish apostle, not a 19th century American military unit using his name. On the other hand Mexico has loads of holidays and fiestas, but St. Patrick\u2019s day doesn\u2019t seem to be one of them.\n2) Cinco de Mayo is celebrated in America and practically ignored in Mexico, which the writer got right. However, the real reason is because it is pushed by American liquor companies to fatten American corporate bottom lines and by American brown separatists who promote a brown racial agenda in America.\n3) Abuse of social services by the illegally present and the naturalized does occur, and not just by those from Latin America.\nIllegal aliens might not be legally entitled to welfare, but plenty of them get it. As for private scholarships, many of those are awarded on the basis of race and ancestral or personal national origin (Latino scholarships) in violation of the civil rights act. However, the Justice Department will not act on any of it, thus denying equal protection under the law.\nALLEN McNEW\nViolence protected\nWill someone answer one question for me please? Why is it in America that the Ten Commandments in the Bible are illegal in public places and school, but children are legally permitted to watch violent video games without restraint or restrictions?\nWhy are these violent video games protected by freedom of speech in our Constitution but the Ten Commandments are not protected by freedom of speech in the same document?\nThe Christian and Missionary",

        "raw_content": "Even though Sizawe looks, feels, acts and smells like a Ponzi scheme, we\u2019re going to try to take as objective a look at it as possible. You see, it has lately become a trend for every pusher of every lowly Ponzi scheme, to contradict the obvious in our comment sections (not forgetting to add the compulsory affiliate link of course). Their main argument is \u201cI got paid, so it\u2019s legit.\u201d Obviously, it\u2019s part and parcel of pyramid scheming to pay a few early \u201cclients,\u201d so they spread the word and draw in fresh blood, without which the pyramid would collapse way too early. We have plenty of experience with such schemes and we see way past the stage where a few lucky affiliates pick up their payments.\nWith that in mind, we\u2019re going to start off the assumption that Sizawe is in fact a legitimate operation, and we\u2019ll move on to listing the red flags and question marks which are highly indicative of a pyramid scheme.\nSizawe.com\nWhat exactly is Sizawe?\nSizawe proclaims itself a \u201cRisk Free Growth Community\u201d with a \u201cSecured and Most Advanced System,\u201d which it uses for something\u2026 it\u2019s not obvious from the homepage what. It apparently uses some sort of an investment bot, which is fleetingly mentioned in the homepage copy. Exactly what this bot invests and where, is never really discussed. Much more focus is given to the multi-level affiliate reward structure, which seems to be the heart and soul of the operation.\nIn addition to the investment angle mentioned above, Sizawe seems to peddle a sort of reciprocal help system too, which is about Providing Help to others and then Getting Help back from the community, interest and all. This interest can be as high as 50% or even 100% per month.\nAt first glance, we thought the PHs and GHs used on the Sizawe website to describe their system, are Petahashes and Gigahashes, and we were properly confused, as nothing seemed to make any sense that way. We later realized though that PH was merely short for Providing Help (which is the equivalent of making a deposit with the operator) and GH meant Get Help (the equivalent of making a withdrawal). That cleared things up a little.\nSizawe offers two investment \u201ccontracts\u201d of sorts. The first Provide Help move one makes, has to be for a sum of $10-$5,000. The promised return rate on this PH is 50% per month. A member\u2019s second PH has to be for a sum of $10-$2,500 and the return on this is 100% per month. In both cases, the Get Help (withdrawal) that one can request, is limited to $3,000 per day.\n20% of one\u2019s PH will be confirmed within 24-72 hours, which is when \u201cthe growth\u201d is slated to begin. The remaining 80% of the investment will be confirmed within 1-2 weeks. When one re-commits, he/she has to invest at least as much as his/her previous PH amount. There\u2019s no cutting back on the money-flow here.\nOn the 50% return channel, one is compelled to re-commit at least 10%. On the 100% channel, this ratio is 20%.\nIn addition to making money out of the blue like this, members can also rack up profits by bringing others into the scheme, according to an intricate, multi-layer plan, which awards various ranks to its participants, depending on their level of performance. While a person who convinces at least 10 others to join, is called a Volunteer, he who manages to get 10,000 members into the fold, will be known as a Role Model.\nThe direct affiliate cut is 5% of the commitments and re-commitments made by the referred. The first level affiliate cut is 4% and so on, all the way down to 0.05% for the unlimited depth tier.\nIn addition to all the above, members will be able to control their Sizawe bot, telling it when to commit and when to grow/withdraw, through Telegram.\nShould I Trust Sizawe?\nYou can if you want to. Let\u2019s just say though that we do not advise you to.\nThe site copy features poor English. While some will say this does not mean much, we have found it to be a common denominator of most shady, Pyramid-based schemes we have reviewed.\nWe do not know who is behind it all\u2026 Their \u201cRepresentative\u201d page is empty. For some reason, no one is willing to put his/her name on this.\nAgain: the promised returns are 50% and 100% per month. That alone should make the true nature of this operation crystal clear.\nWe have a textbook pyramid scheme in the referral-department. This could not possibly be clearer than that.\nHaving spent a few hours investigating Sizawe, we have no idea how their revenues are generated. It is very likely they come directly from the referred people.\nThe pictures used for the \u201ccommunity\u201d on their homepage, are lifted from various dating sites and stock photo portals. We only checked the two women who are 2nd and 3rd from the left in the top row, but it is safe to assume the others are cut from a similar cloth.\nThe domain was first registered in October, 2016. Unsurprisingly, the identity of the registrant is secret. For the registrant address, only a PO Box number is provided.\nWith a SimilarWeb global rank of 241,277, Sizawe.com doesn\u2019t seem to be too popular. However, it does receive a good amount of visitors, mostly from India, Nigeria, Indonesia, China and Australia.\nSizawe Review Conclusion\nBased on the above detailed investigation, Sizawe looks a lot like the very definition of a Ponzi scheme. If you prefer to \u201cinvest\u201d your money with this operation, feel free to do so, and please refrain from polluting the comment section below with your affiliate links. Let those reasonable listen to reason, and stay away from this shady train wreck of a \u201cdeal.\u201d\nVerdict: Sizawe is a SCAM!\nBlacklisted site: Sizawe.com\nDo you have any first hand information regarding Sizawe?

South Windsor consists of many small ranch style homes as well as larger newer homes. It has several elementary schools, with Vincent Massey as the public high school and Holy Names as the Catholic high school, respectively. It is bordered by the Herb Gray Parkway to the West, Cabana Road to the South, Division Road to the east and E.C. Row Expressway to the north. Roseland is a neighbourhood in South Windsor bordered by Cabana to the north, the Herb Gray Parkway to the south and Provincial Road to the east. Many homes in this neighbourhood were built prior to the Second World War on very large, spacious lots. This area is extremely sought after. Most homes don't last long on the market. Many homes enjoy the close proximity to the Roseland Golf Course, many homes actually back on to this nationally renowned course. Devonshire Heights is a development in Windsor's south end begun in the late 1970s and recently completed. It is located just south of the E.C. Row Expressway, west of Walker Road, east of Howard Avenue and Devonshire Mall and north of Division/Cabana Rd. This area has recently become one of the most sought after areas for newer families, surrounded by shopping, restaurants, schools, express way, and the Hospital.\nSouth Windsor homes for sale south windsor south windsor homes for sale\nSouth Windsor Market Report",

        "raw_content": "Call him The Disruptor: UW\u2019s Matisse Thybulle gaining national recognition for his defensive prowess\nWashington\u2019s Matisse Thybulle swipes the ball from USC\u2019s Elijah Weaver starting a fastbreak going the Huskies way in the fist half. USC played Washington in men\u2019s Pac-12 Basketball Wednesday, January 30, 2019 at Alaska Airlines Arena in Seattle, WA. (Dean Rutz / The Seattle Times)\nWashington senior guard Matisse Thybulle has put himself in the conversation for the national defensive player of the year award.\nTEMPE, Ariz. \u2013 Matisse Thybulle or Zion Williamson?\nIn the past few games, the Washington senior guard has put himself in the conversation with the Duke star freshman for the national defensive player of the year award.\nThybulle is averaging six steals over the past four games, including a virtuoso performance Thursday at Arizona when he registered five steals, five blocks while also finishing with 15 points, three three-pointers, two rebounds and two assists.\n\u201cHe\u2019s like a lottery number,\u201d UW coach Mike Hopkins said. \u201cHe\u2019s an incredible player. \u2026 He finally got some national recognition.\u201d\nThybulle, who won the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year award last year, is starting to build a national resume.\nEarlier this week, ESPN college basketball analyst Jay Bilas tweeted: \u201cWatching tape of Washington\u2019s Matisse Thybulle is an absolute pleasure. He is a defensive genius. How can the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year be underrated? He is. A great player that can dominate a game without scoring.\u201d\nThybulle, who ranks third nationally with 3.23 steals per game and is tied for 30th with a 2.09 blocks average, is virtually a shoo-in to win a second straight defensive conference player of the year award.\nHowever, the UW senior is making a push for bigger awards with five weeks remaining in the regular season.\n\u201cI think he\u2019s the national player of the year and I don\u2019t think it\u2019s close,\u201d Hopkins said. \u201cWe\u2019re doing research right now looking back at the last 20 years of the top defensive player of the years in the Power 5 conferences and go look and see at what their takeaways are.\n\u201cI guarantee it\u2019s not even close to his blocks and steals. He\u2019s a disruptor. He\u2019s the key to our defense. He just sets the tone.\u201d\nHeading into Saturday\u2019s 7 p.m. game at Arizona State (15-7, 6-4 Pac-12), Washington (19-4, 10-0) has the top defense in the Pac-12 in large part due to Thybulle.\nIn conference games, the Huskies have allowed 60.8 points per game and just 28.5 percent shooting on three-pointers \u2013 both league lows.\nWashington, which has won 12 straight games, has also forced a conference-best 17.1 turnovers per game.\n\u201cWhen you know you have a guy like this, we feed off his energy,\u201d guard David Crisp said. \u201cHe sets the tone defensively. He\u2019s the best I\u2019ve seen at it. We just make sure that we\u2019ve got his back.\u201d\nCrisp, who played at Rainier Beach High, spent two years battling against Thybulle, an Eastside Catholic product, in high school so he knows what UW opponents feel when they have to combat the 6-foot-5 guard with the 7-foot wingspan.\nAnd yet, Crisp is continually amazed when Thybulle is able to dominate games like he did Thursday at Arizona.\n\u201cHonestly it\u2019s funny because you would think they would be more aware,\u201d Crisp said. \u201cAfter a guy blocks my shot two times, maybe I\u2019ll do something else. I learned in high school. He blocked my first two shots the first time we ever played and I said all right, let me start pump faking or trying something different.\u201d\nThybulle, who averages 10.0 points, went through scoring droughts early in the season, but he\u2019s tallying 14.3 points in the past four games.\n\u201cWe\u2019re moving the ball and sharing the ball and it\u2019s going to the open guy and that guy is knocking down the shot,\u201d said Thybulle who has hit three three-pointers in each of the past two games. \u201cIt\u2019s nothing more complicated than that. When the ball is moving like that, everybody gets good shots.\u201d",

As such the game also has the \u201cPS4 Pro Enhanced\u201d label now, which we can now also find on the game\u2019s Japanese website. Hatsune Miku: VR Future Live benefited from a similar update. Yet curiously this information wasn\u2019t featured in any media from Sony or SEGA in the West. It\u2019s something that I find really puzzling as there aren\u2019t many games that support the PS4 Pro at the moment, so it\u2019s an ideal way to put the spotlight on your game. Rez Infinite is a perfect example, as plenty of articles were written on its native 4K support, including on the official Sony blog.\n4K Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X HD Playstation 4 PlayStation 4 pro PlayStation VR\nHatsune Miku: VR Future Live 2nd Stage Is Now Available in the Americas and the EU\nSEGA has just issued a press release stating that Hatsune Miku: VR Future Live 2nd Stage is now available on the PlayStation Store in Europe and the Americas.

        "raw_content": "I\u2019m Single So I Don\u2019t Need Life Insurance \u2013 April Fools!!!\nBuying Life Insurance April 1, 2013\nThe myth holds true throughout almost every state in country. I don\u0092t need coverage because I\u2019m single and do not have dependents. This would be an accurate statement IF this individual never acquired any debts, did not expect to have a funeral, and knew that he or she would never become subjected to extremely high insurance rates due to a doctor\u0092s unfortunate diagnosis. Let\u0092s talk about debt first. If a single person dies and does have dependents, the only way the debts will be canceled is if he or she does not have money or assets. If the person who dies owns a car or property, a bond or CD, or a bank account with money in it, the money acquired from these various avenues will be used to pay off debt. If a college student co-signed a student loan with his or her parents, then the parent will be left responsible to pay for the entire loan in the case of student\u0092s death. The same story holds true if a single person has co-signed with another person for a car lease. The sad truth is that debt outlives death, and remaining oblivious to this fact can be extremely detrimental.\nNow to the morbid talk of funeral costs. Whether we like it or not, there is a cost of death, and it\u0092s not a minimal one. According to the National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA), the average cost of a funeral is over $6,000. How can a funeral possibly cost that much? Well, the move/transfer of remains to the funeral home costs about $250, embalming costs about $628, other preparations of the body cost about $200, a basic memorial printed package costs about $125, and this doesn\u0092t even include a casket and vault, which average $2,295 and $1,195 respectively. We\u0092re not quite done yet \u2013 now add in the costs/charges of the cemetery, monument, flowers, and obituaries. Did we mention that these statistics are from 2009? Take into consideration inflation rates for four years and you\u0092ll begin to see just how expensive a funeral is. These costs will be passed on to the family of the deceased person, which would have been been otherwise covered if he or she had a life insurance policy.\nThe last thing we\u0092ll touch base on in this post is the incentive to purchase life insurance at an early age. The younger you are, the healthier you tend to be. The healthier you are, the less expensive your policy will be. This is your chance to lock in a good rate for a policy that provides you with the coverage you need. That way, if anything were to happen in the future, you would already be covered and wouldn\u0092t be bombarded with a skyrocketed insurance rate.\nWe encourage you to research policies that are most beneficial for you at this time in your life. If you don\u0092t feel like doing intense research on your own, just fill out a short form here and get a free quote within minutes. Either way, we urge you to be aware of the risks that you take each day without life insurance, and that you are better off investing sooner rather than later.\nTags: April FoolsfamilyFamily planningFinancial PlanningnecessityReal Life StoryRelieve StressSelectQuoteSingle ParentSingles Need Life Insurance\n20 for 30: 20 Tips for 30-Year-Olds",

(AP Photo/Eric Risberg, File) less\nFILE- In this Dec. 13, 2016, file photo, Anthony Levandowski, head of Uber's self-driving program, speaks about their driverless car in San Francisco. Levandowski, an autonomous vehicle expert who defected from ... more\nHiring former Google star engineer Anthony Levandowski and his team had the potential to save Uber \u201cat least a year\u201d in the race to develop self-driving cars, according to an internal Uber email unsealed in court Thursday in the high-profile lawsuit between the companies.\nGoogle\u2019s self-driving-car unit, which was renamed Waymo after Levandowski left, argues that Levandowski stole its proprietary design for lidar, a laser-based sensor that allows cars to see the environment around them. The January 2016 email from the man then in charge of Uber\u2019s self-driving program in Pittsburgh singled out the lidar that Levandowski and his associates at Google had created.\n\u201cAnthony and his close team have developed several generations of mid- and long-range laser that we now believe is critical to AV autonomy (day and night),\u201d wrote John Bares in the email, which a Waymo attorney read into the record on instructions from the judge. \u201cNot only do they have several generations of experience but also know how to improve on the next-gen devices that they would build for us. We have yet to find anyone else in the world with this know-how.\u201d\nWhile Waymo\u2019s attorneys are trying to prove that the ride-hailing company has been using purloined lidar technology, an Uber attorney at Thursday\u2019s case-management hearing argued that the email showed only that Levandowski and his colleagues had skills Uber wanted to tap. Uber insists that its lidar designs are its own and that Levandowski was under explicit instructions not to bring any intellectual property with him from Google.\nThe email \u201cexplains why you would want to hire Anthony Levandowski,\u201d said attorney Karen Dunn. \u201cYou\u2019re allowed to bring your know-how. ... If this is the best evidence they have of trade-secret theft, I say, \u2018Great.\u2019\u201d\nUber\u2019s Senior Vice President Emil Michael Michael has been replaced by Nestle Executive Vice President Wan Ling Martello, and Chief Executive Travis Kalanick may take a leave of absence. The changes stem from a report by former U.S. attorney general Eric Holder Jr. on Uber\u2019s workplace culture. Uber has experienced its fair share of missteps this year, which lead to the online campaign \u201c#deleteUber\u201d on social media. Lyft has proven to be Uber's biggest competitor, already accounting for 25 percent of all trips in the U.S. ride-hailing market and experiencing a ridership surge up to 70.4 million rides in its first quarter. Amidst the court battle with Waymo over stolen self-driving technology plans, Kalanick says the future of Uber will heavily rely on said technology. \"What would happen if we weren't a part of that future? If we weren't part of the autonomy thing? Then the future passes us by, basically, in a very expeditious and efficient way.\"\nUber lets users request rides for others\nAvis to manage Waymo\u2019s self-driving fleet\nWaymo initiated the suit in February, claiming that Levandowski downloaded thousands of internal Google documents before he left in January 2016 to found Otto, which specializes in self-driving trucks. Uber bought Otto eight months later and placed Levandowski in charge of its efforts to develop autonomous vehicles.\nLevandowski has refused to testify in the suit, citing his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. Uber fired him in May for refusing to cooperate with its investigation of the lawsuit allegations. A jury trial in the suit is scheduled to begin in October.\nLevandowski had been considered close to Uber co-founder Travis Kalanick, who stepped down as CEO this month in the face of several scandals swirling around the San Francisco company. At Thursday\u2019s hearing, Uber\u2019s lawyers seemed eager to distance the company from Levandowski, saying Waymo\u2019s real complaints lay with him.\n\u201cTheir case is about Mr. Levandowski, what they allege he stole, and the fact that he invoked the Fifth,\u201d Dunn told Judge William Alsup of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. \u201cAs to Uber, they have nothing.\u201d\nDunn and her colleagues, in a court filing Wednesday, said that in March 2016 \u2014 before Uber acquired Otto \u2014 Levandowski told one of his Otto colleagues that he had found five discs of Google information in his home, left over from when he had worked at Google. According to the filing, Levandowski also told several Uber executives, including Kalanick, and Kalanick told him not to bring any information from Google to Uber. Levandowski later told several people that he had destroyed the discs, according to the filing.\nThe same court filing also suggested another reason for why Levandowski might have downloaded confidential Google documents. He could have been trying to gain leverage to ensure that the company paid him an overdue, $120 million bonus, the filing said.\nWaymo attorneys on Thursday called that idea ridiculous and said Levandowski had downloaded many of the files on days when he had meetings with Uber executives, including Kalanick.\n\u201cThey\u2019re trying to put all that away by coming up with this brand-new theory that Mr. Levandowski downloaded the files to use as ransom against Google to get the rest of his payments that were scheduled over time,\u201d said attorney Charles Verhoeven. \u201cThere\u2019s absolutely no evidence. They\u2019ve never disclosed it before. It\u2019s silly.\u201d\nDunn countered that it made sense for an employee who was thinking of leaving his job to be concerned about not receiving so large a bonus.",

We will continue to build on our programs and past accomplishments, forge ahead to protect the gains we have made in San Francisco, California and across the United States in covered lives, thanks to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), and focus on a future that improves health outcomes of the diverse San Francisco communities through our successful partnerships.\nThis strategic plan is the result of a collaboration with our leadership team and our Governing Board. The work reaffirmed our focus on our four strategic anchors:\nUniversal Coverage Through Partnerships \u2013 We will do everything feasible to work with the City and County of San Francisco, State and Federal governments, and our partners to ensure that all San Franciscans have access to high quality health care.\nQuality Care And Access For Members And Participants \u2013 We will set high goals and track our outcomes and performance against quality measures, customer satisfaction and national accreditation standards.\nExemplary Service to Members and Stakeholders \u2013 We will never forget that, at the end of the day, what we offer is service to our members, providers and purchasers. This service must be of the highest level and of significant value to each of those key customers.\nFinancial Viability for SFHP and for Safety Net Providers \u2013 We need to ensure that SFHP\u2019s financial future is secure so that we can weather the tough years, never limiting or capping our enrollment in the programs that cover the uninsured and low-income residents, while also helping to protect the viability of safety net providers, who offer access to care regardless of a patient\u2019s ability to pay.\nWe have seen many positive changes over our 22-year history, from achieving universal coverage of children, offering access through the City\u2019s award-winning Healthy San Francisco Program for all uninsured in the City, successfully implementing the Affordable Care Act Medi-Cal expansion to childless adults, tripling our Medi-Cal membership in less than 10 years, a quintupling of our revenues, and being the highest ranked public Medi-Cal plan as determined by the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) on quality measures for each of the last 10 years.\nThis strategic plan sets forward the road map and path for SFHP in the next three years. We will use this plan to set our annual goals with the Governing Board, as well as adjust to the ongoing changes in our health care world. We are so fortunate to be located here in San Francisco, one of the premier cities in the world, where the Mayor, Board of Supervisors and community strongly support health care for all. We will continue to work closely with our partners at the Department of Public Health, San Francisco Community Clinic Consortium, local community providers and others to ensure that San Francisco is a healthy community for all.\nJohn F.

At Sheridan Ross, the search process is not mysterious, but a collaborative process with our clients with a shared goal of arriving at good business decisions.\nTrademark Filing, Registration, and Maintenance\nFor more than six decades, Sheridan Ross\u2019 trademark attorneys have helped clients secure and maintain protections for their marks. Our focus in each case is to provide comprehensive counsel related to the long-term health of our clients\u2019 reputations by ensuring their brands are protected from every angle.\nOur lawyers advise clients on a wide range of trademark and copyright issues both in the United States and abroad, and our team is skilled at handling large, complex trademark portfolios. We are currently managing thousands of active U.S. trademark applications and registrations. We file virtually all documents with the USPTO electronically, using the E-TEAS system and also utilize the lower cost TEAS-PLUS filing option when appropriate.\nOur international prosecution services provide benefits beyond the mere filing of an application. We help clients develop strategies and approaches that make use of specific jurisdictional rules, such as \u201cfirst-to-file\u201d countries. Through our expansive network of skilled international associates, we provide effective global portfolio management under a system that keeps costs at a minimum.\nMany of our clients rely on our trademark attorneys to help them enforce their marks throughout the world. In some cases, this requires our attorneys to monitor e-commerce and other marketplaces for infringing uses of relevant marks, though we also often police domain name registrations and other realms where our clients\u2019 marks are being violated. Our recent work has increasingly involved working with U.S. Customs officials to help them identify counterfeit or fraudulent products that we recognize dilute the power of our clients\u2019 brands. Regardless of venue, our trademark attorneys are skilled at enforcing and protecting our clients\u2019 reputations.\nOppositions & TTAB Proceedings\nFor more than 30 years, Sheridan Ross has been involved in thousands of extensions of time to oppose, opposition and cancellation actions before the TTAB.

Also, we understand that litigation can be an effective business tool, and when a client asks us to elevate matters to the courts, we aim to resolve disputes quickly in favor of our clients.\nTrademark Transactions\nWe understand the nuances of crafting an array of agreements and other documents to ensure the protection of a client\u2019s intellectual property. Our transactional practice includes drafting and reviewing licensing agreements, software development agreements, intellectual property transfer agreements, consulting contracts, marketing agreements, non-disclosure agreements, and corporate sponsorship agreements. These agreements address the intricacies involved in the development, licensing or sale of intellectual property, and are strategically tailored to achieve our client\u2019s business goals.\nSheridan Ross has a thriving and diverse trademark practice that includes all aspects of brand protection.

In addition to our longtime experience in providing competent counseling on brand and portfolio management, we have filed thousands of trademark applications with the USPTO, as well as represented numerous clients before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board and the Federal Circuit.\nAs the Internet continues to mature, the scope and nature of disputes over domain names, e-commerce, and online content also continue to evolve. Our lawyers have extensive experience proactively handling Internet issues, including domain name disputes under the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP), cybersquatting matters, use of trademarks in advertising, unlawful sale of trademarked merchandise, and commercial email use and spam regulations.\nSearch analysis and decisions are one of the most critical aspects of the trademark practice. There is a specific art to conclusions regarding whether a mark is available for use. Our style is to help clients through this process by providing true opinions on whether moving forward with a mark presents an acceptable level of risk. In doing so, we hope to educate clients as to how the search process works and the reasoning for our opinions. Especially when there are last-minute requests from a marketing department, we minimize the stress associated with search evaluation. We get to know our clients, their product lines, the geographic locations where it makes sense to search, and their comfort level with risk. At Sheridan Ross, the search process is not mysterious, but a collaborative process with our clients with a shared goal of arriving at good business decisions.\nFor clients whose products include unique and distinctive packaging or physical attributes, our trademark attorneys provide counsel to secure trade dress protection in the U.S. and abroad, often in concert with traditional trademark protection.",

        "raw_content": "Samantha Spiro's big stage challenge\nNine years ago, Samantha Spiro played Fanny Brice in Funny Girl in Chichester\u2019s Minerva Theatre. She reckons her biggest challenge since has been the play which now brings her back to Chichester.\nThe House They Grew Up In, a new piece by Deborah Bruce, directed by Jeremy Herrin, runs until August 5, again in the Minerva.\n\u201cFunny Girl was me stepping into Barbra Streisand\u2019s shoes and singing 12 solo numbers when I didn\u2019t consider myself a musical-theatre actress. And now this play is going to be an equal challenge\u2026 a very very different challenge. It is a really big learn, a really difficult learn. The woman just doesn\u2019t stop talking.\u201d\nThe play is set in the present day in a residential street in south-east London. The house where reclusive siblings Peppy and Daniel were born is now stuffed full of everything they have ever owned. This hoard, their eccentric appearance and rampant garden hedge set them conspicuously apart from others on their road. When young Ben visits from next door he is simply looking for friendship; but what happens next challenges everyone\u2019s idea of neighbourliness\u2026\n\u201cIt\u2019s a new play, and in my humble opinion, Deborah has written a brilliant play. As soon as I started reading it, I was hooked. I got to page two and I just wanted to read on.\n\u201cIt is about this reclusive brother and sister who live on the edge of society. They are co-dependent, and really the outside world is a very separate place for them. What happens during the rest of the play is that the outside world comes barging in metaphorically. It is about how they cope with that\u2026 or don\u2019t cope. They are both struggling with mental illnesses.\n\u201cI am playing the sister. The sister is really the coper in this relationship except she is dealing with extreme anxiety and autism and she is dealing with mental-health issues that have caused depression in the past that have caused her to want to try to attempt to take her own life. She finds it very difficult coping with anybody outside of all this. She is extremely anxious, and she is not necessarily doing things in the right way, but she knows she has to keep her and her brother going. It is on her that their survival depends.\n\u201cEverything we need is in the script, but we have had experts coming in and saying that the characters are completely believable. We have had professionals giving us a diagnosis and talking about what the treatment would be and how they would help. But in terms of what Deborah has given us, it is rich and believable.\n\u201cDeborah has been around in rehearsals, but she is going to leave us to it for the next week or two. At some point, it is always healthy to have the writer break away. When you are doing a new play, it is great to have the author around to pick their brains and ask them about their intentions even if sometimes they will tell you that even they don\u2019t know.\u201d\nThat\u2019s all part of the challenge of performing a play for the first time: \u201cIt is a great challenge because you have got nothing you can compare it to. You are inventing it, and you are giving the audience a new experience, but it needs to be clear \u2013 and it needs to be believable. And you want to give them something that they can think about at the end of the evening. I wouldn\u2019t call it an enjoyable experience. It is going to be a difficult experience watching this. Sometimes you can watch something, like Half A Sixpence last year, and it is pure joy. This play will leave you with lots of questions\u2026\u201d\n01243 781312 or cft.org.uk.",

        "raw_content": "\"Boomer\" Wells now head coach of his alma mater, Point Loma\nIn this photo taken Tuesday, March 10, 2015, David Wells looks on during practice as coach of the Point Loma High School baseball team in San Diego. Eight seasons after throwing his last big league pitch, Wells is now head coach at his alma mater, which h\nSAN DIEGO (AP) It's 2 o'clock on a typically brilliant San Diego afternoon and David ''Boomer'' Wells is on the mound at David Wells Field.\nOK, technically he's just in front of it, setting up a pitching machine to run his Point Loma Pointers through situational hitting drills.\nEight seasons after throwing his last big league pitch, Wells is head coach at his alma mater, which he pitched to a city championship 33 years ago.\nWho could have ever imagined Wells, the wild child from gritty Ocean Beach, being a high school head coach?\nIt certainly wasn't in his post-career plans.\n''Not at all,'' Wells said. ''I would have never in a million years thought I'd be doing this. I've been trying for the last seven years to get into the big leagues and failed miserably. I mean, I thought with all the knowledge and the big games that I've pitched and being in the playoffs constantly, I know pitching. I know pitching as good as or better than anybody else that's ever played.''\nThe answer has always been no.\n''I think they look at the fact that when I played, I was outspoken,'' the 51-year-old Wells said. ''I did my job very well. But I'm a grown man. I can do what I want to do, sometimes burning the candle at both ends. Those things happen, but I'm not that guy. If I'm going to take a job and be serious about it, I'm not the guy who played. I'm the guy that's applying for a job and trying to help out the organization. I don't think they've gotten over that yet. But it's no big deal.''\nThe mystique of Boomer Wells runs deep, from growing up in the middle of a Hells Angels gang to pitching a perfect game for the New York Yankees in 1998 with what he later described as ''a skull-rattling hangover.'' (Don Larsen, who pitched a perfect game for the Yankees in the 1956 World Series, also attended Point Loma High).\nWells got a shout-out from Mick Jagger when the Rolling Stones played Petco Park in 2005. He's been a Midnight Rambler and a Street Fighting Man.\nHe pitched for nine teams, including twice with his hometown Padres, won two World Series rings, was a three-time All-Star and had a 239-157 record before finishing up in 2007.\nNow he's in charge of 20 teenagers.\n''He's been more straightforward. Everyone is more focused since he's been around,'' junior co-captain Seth Urbon said. ''The whole vibe changed. Everybody wants to play more. They want to play for him. It's a really good environment around the program.''\nDuring winter ball, Wells brought in former big leaguers Alan Trammell, Vince Coleman and Jamie Moyer to work with his players, and had Heath Bell throw batting practice as he prepared for spring training.\nA few days into the season, he brought his World Series rings into the dugout.\n''They were like, `Oh my God, you've got to be kidding.' I just left them in the dugout for them to see, touch, put them on, whatever. If you're in a slump, go pick it up, put it on. I don't know,'' Wells said.\nThat, plus the stories Wells tells, made an impression on senior pitcher Clay Palmer.\n''It's nice having a coach like that,'' Palmer said. ''You can't learn from anyone better than that. He's like a second father figure. He loves all of us, he's really supportive and he's just a great guy.''\nSays Wells: ''I'm not an in-your face coach. I don't yell. If you do something out of character, you start running. That's all I do. I'll get them in shape one way or another.''\nWells was the high school pitching coach for three seasons, breaking away to serve as a spring training instructor for the Yankees. After hearing that some kids wanted to transfer, he finally accepted then-athletic director John Murphy's offer to be head coach.\n''He's so dedicated to the kids. He's a classy guy. He has a huge heart,'' Murphy said. ''He's doing all sorts of great stuff with the kids. His knowledge of baseball is incredible. The kids are like sponges. They're eating it up. It's been a really great experience for our program, and the kids will look back on that and know it was a fantastic time.''\nWithout Wells' involvement in the program, David Wells Field, located at a middle school about a half-mile from the high school, probably would still be a run-down mess.\nWells helped push through a $1 million renovation, paid for mostly by a school bond, that resulted in a new turf field, including the base paths, a new outfield fence, major league-style foul poles and upgraded bullpens and batting cage. Wells has added several protective screens used for batting practice, as well as a pitching machine, fly ball machine and ground ball machine. There are plans to upgrade seating and add a new scoreboard.\nWells is donating his salary of about $3,000 back to the program. He said he raised $135,000 from an offseason golf tournament.\nHis hitting coach, Dave Camera, was his teammate in 1982. His head assistant, Kyle Harvey, graduated from Point Loma in 2005. So far, the team is 2-1 going into the weekend.\nWells still gets in plenty of golf, with his baseball fix coming in the afternoon.\nHe loves being around the players and watching them develop.\n''To me that's just as good as if not better than being in the big leagues, except they get paid up there and I don't get paid here,'' said Wells, with a laugh.",

        "raw_content": "We also discussed why it's important for physicians not to become too flustered in these scenarios given that 1) the investigation can actually vindicate their position that they did nothing wrong, and 2) severe disciplinary measures are by no means a foregone conclusion.\nTo that end, we started examining Agreements for Corrective Action, which are essentially contractual agreements between the Complaint Review Committee and the physician that certain remedial measures will be taken to address the issues raised in the complaint.\nHow exactly do corrective actions differ from the more stringent disciplinary orders handed down by the Board?\nCorrective action is usually taken in those situations where the misconduct on the part of the physician is less serious in nature and can usually be attributed to a lack of knowledge. Here, the remedy is typically the CRC ordering some type of education program and/or training regimen.\nConversely, disciplinary action is usually taken in those situations where the misconduct on the part of the physician is considerably more serious, including actions resulting in patient harm, sexual misconduct and fraudulent prescription writing practices, to name only a few. Here, the remedy is typically the CRC issuing some form of written reprimand, and/or restricting or suspending a medical license.\nOther key differences between the two are that corrective actions are not required to be reported to the National Practitioner Data Bank and are not subject to the legislature's mandatory publication requirement. (However, it should be noted that corrective actions are still a matter of public record and, as such, may still be viewed by anyone.)\nA final key difference between the two is that the Board is not involved in a corrective action given its contractual nature between the physician and the CRC, meaning they are not required to take any action on the matter.\nIf you are a physician who has received a letter from the Minnesota Board of Medical Practice indicating that you are the subject on an ongoing investigation, consider speaking with an experienced legal professional as soon as possible to learn more about your license defense options.\nSource: Minnesota Board of Medical Practice, \"New corrective action option,\" Linda Close, Accessed Dec. 11, 2014",

This is where we set out to understand your \u201cbusiness\u201d requirements, define the goals, purpose and identity of the website, decide on content layout and formats i.e. dynamic or static and most importantly discuss options for attracting visitors to the site after the deploy.\nSatisfied with the knowledge of what is required, a draft proposal for the project will be created and submitted outlining the scope of the work so that we both have a clear understanding of the project expectations, pricing, time frames and deliverable\u2019s.\nThis step means the proposal has been accepted and the design and development process begins. The design and development stage is where we will start creating the work as detailed in the scoping exercise. We work very closely with you gathering the information for the site content, tweaking layout designs, changing the colours where required, characterise and gather information about the targeted audience.\nThis step the site is tested by trying to use the site as if we were the targeted audience. Any required tweaks and changes are made and further testing is done until satisfied that the site is ready for deployment or the \u201cgo live\u201d publishing.\nThis step of the project process means that the website design and development, testing and acceptance is complete. At this stage the completed mock up website will be transferred to the live website hosting either provided by us or by a hosting company of your own choosing. Transfer complete, a series of tests would need to be carried out to ensure a successful transfer.\nWith your website published we provide \u201cgo live\u201d support and maintenance which will include minor changes and site backups.\nThe \u201cgo live\u201d support and maintenance will last for the selected length of time which is decided during the scope step to suit the project. After the \u201cgo live\u201d period if support contract option is chosen it will be activated.",

        "raw_content": "Last year, around this time, my former boss reached out to me about helping rebrand this company where he was a member of their board as the marketing advisor. The company is called Acclima based out of the Boise, Idaho area, and they design and manufacture specialized sensors that sit in the ground and measure the water content of the soil. They then relay this information to the farmer, groundskeeper, etc. so that they can utilize this information to better water the plants. By doing this, they can know if they are under watering or over watering their land and therefore conserve their water usage. It's all very technical stuff designed by some very intelligent people with decades of agricultural and electrical engineering experience.\nAll of that technical experience is great when it comes to designing and building what they do, however, it doesn't help much in the graphic design and branding field. For this project, I focussed on the logo, typography, and color scheme to give them a jumping off point.\nHere you can see the old logo. It's a simple mark with the word, a leaf, and droplet of water. When I first saw it, I thought they might do something with irrigation. The logo also came off as very dated with all of the bevels on the type and the poorly rendered leaf. In short, it wasn't representing the company or the quality of their products very well at all. If you've read any of my other blog posts, you'll notice a pattern here. Rebrands occur when the current brand is no longer serving the business for any number of reasons. When you get to that point, it's time to invest in a new brand that will improve first impressions, conversions rates, trustworthiness, and more.\nFor the first round, I designed three different logo options for them to choose from. My personal favorite was the first option, which is what they chose. However, it was clear through some of the feedback that it definitely needed some revisions, and that I hadn't quite grasped their product fully. So, I went back to studying their product, read white papers, dug through their website, and ultimately came up with this.\nI went back to the drawing board and incorporated the water and leaf, but added the universal symbol for radio signals (like wifi), and put it all into a water droplet shape. They wanted to keep the Tahoma font for the wordmark, but I changed the \"i' slightly to add a little more personality to it.\nThe colors were chosen to illustrate water without question, but I used the green to be that punch of color need to draw your eye to the end goal \u2013 healthier plants and crops.\nAnd lastly, as a little bonus, I designed a new business card for the employees. Including a little extra is always a nice way to help the client see my vision for the brand more clearly. This projects was very fun to work on and I learned a lot about a business that I otherwise would know nothing about.\nTaking that leap into the rebranding process can be scary for business owners, but it's important to keep the end game in mind. Where do you want to put you energy and money: Into an old, outdated brand that poorly represents the business or into a new, highly polished brand that will carry you for years?

You\u2019d think that preventing such common security threats should be a piece of cake. But more often than not, gas companies still receive damage reports for unaccounted for fuel and retail losses. So what\u2019s the problem?\nMost petroleum companies simply don\u2019t have a security system that is designed to deal with the problems specific to the industry.\nIf that\u2019s not enough, petroleum companies are also required to keep up with strict safety regulations put in place by the Technical Standards Safety Authority (TSSA). In the past, a simple video surveillance system would do the trick, but regulations have become stricter over the years so that the average video surveillance system just won\u2019t cut it.\nTSSA REQUIREMENTS FOR VIDEO\nTo satisfy the powers that be and keep the TSSA happy, your video surveillance system requires:\nEvery filling position or fuel dispenser must be covered by a camera.\nCameras to pass a clarity test, meaning that an attendant must be able to read the license plate or clearly identify the gas container. Having one camera cover multiple filling positions is okay, as long as it passes the clarity test.\nCameras to be interlocked to shut down the pump or dispenser when the video signal is lost.\nA monitor to be mounted next to the attendant with a continuous view of each dispensing position. This means no monitors that switch views every few seconds.\nThe image size on the attendant\u2019s monitor must be big enough for the attendant to easily see what\u2019s happening. Image quality can\u2019t be affected by sunlight or overhead lights.\nThe attendant\u2019s monitor to be located in a place where it is easily viewable during the course of his/her shift.\nThe attendant\u2019s monitor must only show gas pumps and car wash, not in-store views.\nAxis is the market leader in network video surveillance cameras. The world\u2019s first network camera was invented in 1996 and it was an Axis Camera.\nBrivo is a US based access control manufacturer offering hosted security systems that are used by over tens of thousands of customers.\nMilestone Systems is a global industry leader in open platform IP video management software (VMS).\nS2 Security is a US manufacturer of IP-based, enterprise-class access control systems.",

        "raw_content": "Amber Coffman \u2013 \u201cNo Coffee\u201d Video\nAt the end of March, Amber Coffman shared \u201cNo Coffee,\u201d the second single following \u201cAll To Myself\u201d from her debut solo album, City Of No Reply, alongside a statement about her departure from Dirty Projectors. Today, that song gets a gauzy video featuring Coffman in a pink-hued office in which she dumps coffee on herself, sings into a gasoline can, and has some chemistry with a large bald eagle. It\u2019s a fun and inviting video for a song that matches those descriptors, and you can watch it below.\nIn a new interview with Pitchfork, Coffman talks about her forthcoming album, which is due out on 6/2. She\u2019s a little cagey about discussing Longstreth or his involvement with the album (he served as a producer for at least part of the process) but did have this to add when asked about any parallels with the breakup-focused self-titled Dirty Projectors album from earlier this year:\nWhat Dave has done wasn\u2019t my choice. He has really nothing to do with my album, ultimately. I just want to put my record out, and it\u2019s my first album; it\u2019s been a lifelong dream, and a very intense journey for me as a person. I\u2019m not thinking about that other stuff.\nShe also says she didn\u2019t \u201cwant to be pinned down into any one style\u201d on her first LP: \u201c[That\u2019s] why I veered away from working with electronic producers; I tried writing over beats people would give me, and it just felt too limiting. When I first started this whole journey, I didn\u2019t really know how it was gonna come together or who was gonna work on it. It was very open.\u201d\n02 \u201cNo Coffee\u201d\n04 \u201cCity Of No Reply\u201d\n07 \u201cIf You Want My Heart\u201d\n08 \u201cNobody Knows\u201d\n11 \u201cKindness\u201d\nCity Of No Reply is out 6/2 via Columbia Records.\nTags: Amber Coffman, Zia Anger",

        "raw_content": "Seth Liss Sun SentinelSOUTH FLORIDA SUN-SENTINEL\nWhat you can't understand...\nBob Dylan's lyrics marked a dramatic generational shift and they ring true again with the newest digital divide: social media.\nDylan's generation swapped information at cafM-is and protests, and spread their messages through pamphlets and the underground press. Today, we have Facebook and Twitter to exchange ideas, and blogs to build grassroots movements.\nAs easy as it is to network from the comfort of one's home, only 5 percent of Americans use Twitter, according to a recent Harris poll. Less than half of adults have either a MySpace or Facebook page, with just 16 percent updating their page daily.\nSome say they just don't \"get it.\" Why would I care that hottie1955 is eating Cheerios for dinner? Where am I going to find the time to Twitter all these twits? How is it social to spend your day hunched over a computer?\nSince Wah-Wah-Wah.com isn't working, I'll tackle these questions before addressing why social media technology is the best thing that has happened to the Internet since the search engine, and may be even more important.\nComplaint #1: Why would I give a hoot about people's menial, mundane tasks?\nChoose who you follow and friend carefully. Drop people, or just block updates from them if they don't fit with why you're using social media. But give people a chance before getting too trigger-happy.\nThese technologies are in their infancy; people are figuring them out and need to be educated. Consider starting a conversation asking if people are annoyed when others comment on what they ate. Sure, you may upset some people, but if they're offended, they can de-friend you.\nMy Facebook use has been focused on who I knew in the past, but I'm now focused on who I want to know in the future. You need to actively seek out people whose thoughts interest you to raise the level of your social media experience.\nComplaint #2: I don't have time for social networking.\nThese sites can be a time drain, but once you learn how to use them, they can save you time and money, and help foster valuable connections.\nFor instance, my wife recently was craving pho (Vietnamese noodle soup). I went to Yelp.com and found a list of restaurants, each with customer reviews. The social review site allowed us to read the reviewers' biographies, e-mail them questions, see how many people agreed with the reviewers and even rate the reviewers' reviews.\nNot only was it quicker than the Yellow Pages, it provided more information. In addition, the site holds restaurants accountable to each customer, and even holds the reviewers accountable.\nYelp does more than help find good grub. Doctors, lawyers and even politicians can be rated.\nComplaint #3: How is spending more time in front of my computer being social?\nI generally prefer talking to people in person, but time is limited and schedules are difficult to organize. What's more important is having those online conversations, many of which you just don't get in a typical social setting. Also, many social networking tools lead to in-person meet-ups. There is even a word for twitter meetings: tweet-ups.\nAlso, there's more to social networking than being social. There's the professional networking part of it. Commenting on a mentor's blog post can open a door to a discussion and lead to friendship or a working relationship.\nThere are other gripes and excuses I could write about, but here's what makes social media so important to the functionality of the Internet: We have never had so much information at our fingertips. There is no way to dig through it all on our own, even with a search engine. Social media tools harness the power of people sifting through information to bring out the best.\nSocial bookmarking sites like Digg and StumbledUpon are great examples. People select articles worthy of reading by voting for them. The higher the stories rank, the more likely they will be read. StumbleUpon learns what you like as you vote, and can take you to sites based on your interests. Like Yelp, the reviewers nominating stories have reviewed profiles. You can read their other recommendations, and if you find someone to your liking, you can friend them and send them messages.\nOn social networking sites like Facebook, friends recommend articles. This means the articles have been vetted, and are probably worth reading.\nThe more people who participate, the more filters and reviewers there will be and, ideally, the higher quality information will float to the top. With the best information, and the coming together of like-minded people, there will be collaboration and action.\nI am hopeful and a little envious of the generation that is growing up with this technology. With better information, people will be able to hold corporations, politicians and other professionals accountable.\nSome examples of powerful uses of social media include the election of our president, who deftly raised money and fought smear campaigns with social media tools. He now addresses the public on YouTube, where they can comment on and discuss his speeches.\nFreedomspeaks.com is a nonpartisan political social network that allows its members to write letters to their publicly elected officials. You can go through issues, interact with members and elected officials, read their letters and add them as friends or foes.\nSpot.Us is a nonprofit project aimed at creating \"community-funded reporting.\" Through Spot.Us, a journalist pitches a story directly to the public. The stories that garner enough donations are researched and written. In some cases, you can join a reporting team if you're interested in working on the story.\nIndeed, the times they are a-changin'.\nSeth Liss is the Sun Sentinel's deputy online editor. He can be reached at sliss@sunsentinel.com, on Twitter at @sliss33 or by phone at 954-356-4207.\nNot everyone's about Twitter.....\n\"Everything that Twitter has to offer, I need less of.\"\nKanye West, music star\n\"...this office discourages the City's participation in a Facebook page or any similar interactive communication technology.\"\nHarry A. Stewart, Fort Lauderdale city attorney\n\"I hate the Internet. I find it dehumanizing to constantly check e-mails or social sites which have become so fashionable.\"\nKieira Knightley, actress\n\"I would rather be tied up to stakes in the Kalahari Desert, have honey poured over me and red ants eat out my eyes than open a Twitter account.\"\nMaureen Dowd, New York Times columnist\n\"Why would I want to talk to people like that? It's like phoning someone randomly whose number you don't even have and saying, 'Hi, it's Simon, I went out with my family this weekend.' \"\nSimon Cowell, American Idol judge\n\"I don't have a Twitter, a MySpace or a Facebook or anything like that. I kind of value people not knowing where I am or what I'm doing.\"\nZac Efron, teen idol actor\n\"This new technology sounds adorable.\"\nJon Stewart, Daily Show host\n\"This stuff is wizard.\"\nSamantha Bee, Daily Show Tech Correspondent\n\"A lot of serious people are using Twitter towards serious ends, especially the geeks who put it on the map. But there are also vast numbers of users, including journalists, who are so smitten with the idea of a personal broadcasting system that the absence of meaningful content to broadcast doesn't seem to concern them.\"\nGary Trudeau, Doonesbury cartoonist\n\"No Facebook for me. I don't mean to be rude, but if we haven't talked in 20 years, there's probably a reason,\"\n\"My sister is the Twitter queen. She told me about Twittering, but I don't get it...I'm like, what? I don't understand. Just call me.\"\nBeyonce Knowles, singer\n\"I Twitter and blog very selectively. ... I don't think anybody gives a rat's (behind) whether I am about to eat a tuna sandwich. Some of it is so inane and narcissistic and bizarre, I don't quite get it. I don't know why anyone would want to read it, much less why I would want to write it.\"\nKatie Couric, CBS Evening News anchor\n\"I'd be the most boring Twitterer .... I'd be like: 'At home. Again. Walking my dog. Again.' \"\nBen McKenzie, OC alum",

        "title": "Martin Prado likely headed to DL, Miguel Rojas day-to-day after suffering injuries Sunday - Sun Sentinel",
        "raw_content": "Martin Prado likely headed to DL, Miguel Rojas day-to-day after suffering injuries Sunday\nMiami Marlins manager Don Mattingly discusses the team's 7-0 one-hitter against the New York Mets on Sunday, including Jose Urena's six innings and injuries to Martin Prado and Miguel Rojas.\nEven in a Miami Marlins win, they lost.\nAlongside a 7-0 win over the New York Mets on Sunday, a much-needed clean and efficient victory, came injuries to third baseman Martin Prado (right hamstring strain) and infielder Miguel Rojas (right thumb soreness).\nManager Don Mattingly expects Prado to land on the disabled list, but wasn\u2019t sure about Rojas, who is considered day-to-day. Upon returning to Miami, Prado (MRI) and Rojas (X-ray) said they expect to undergo tests to determine the extent of their injuries.\nThe team will likely call up J.T. Riddle, who spent part of April with the big league team, from Triple A. He was a late scratch from New Orleans\u2019 lineup Sunday. Riddle is a shortstop, but has also played second and third.\n\u201cIt's always hard,\u201d said Rojas, who leads the Marlins in average (.338) and OBP (.389). \u201cYou don't want to leave the game like that early. I didn't have any intentions of putting the team in a bad position. \u2026 Unfortunately, Martin got hurt, and I feel pretty bad.\u201d\nRojas got hurt first, on a check swing in the first inning that aggravated the same thumb he jammed a couple of days ago. He played third base in the bottom half, but didn\u2019t return for the second. His right thumb, which was in a soft cast after the game, swelled up, keeping Rojas from being able to grip a ball.\nHome runs are, in the grand scheme of a baseball game, a rare occurrence, an outcome that requires any number of variables to align perfectly, the round bat and the round ball colliding just right so the latter flies some 350 feet over a wall.\nSometimes, though, home runs seem a little more predictable.\n\u201cAt that moment, I felt like if I keep playing, I might throw the ball away and put the team at risk to lose the game,\u201d Rojas said.\nPrado replaced him defensively and in the No. 5 spot in the lineup, singling in the seventh. As he rounded second on Derek Dietrich\u2019s double to left, Prado pulled up lame, pulling a different part of the same hamstring he strained while playing in the WBC in March.\nThe Marlins called it right hamstring \u201cdiscomfort.\u201d\n\u201cWe have to get an MRI to see how bad it is,\u201d Prado said.\nWhen he suffered a Grade 1 strain two months ago, Prado said, he could at least walk. This time, that\u2019s more difficult.\n\u201cJust frustration. I don't think there is another word,\u201d Prado said. \u201cYour preparation, and everything you do, and then you get hurt again. Things are not going the right way.\u201d\nDerek Dietrich stands to assume the role of starting third baseman, while Adeiny Hechavarria \u2014 whose grip on the starting job at short had started to loosen with Rojas\u2019 hot stretch \u2014 is re-entrenched at shortstop.\nEllington returns\nThe Marlins recalled righty reliever Brian Ellington from Triple-A New Orleans on Sunday, optioning right-hander Odrisamer Despaigne, Saturday\u2019s starter, back to NOLA.\nEllington, whose fastballs sits in the high 90s, was off to a good start in the minors, striking out 14 batters and walking only one in eight innings. He had a 3.38 ERA and 0.75 WHIP.\nThe past two seasons with the Marlins, Ellington had a strong ERA (2.64) and WHIP (1.26), but struggled with command, walking 4.5 batters per nine innings. If he has that under control, it would be a very positive development for pitcher and team.\nEllington said he has been working on throwing more offspeed pitches, including a hard slider, than he has in the past.\n\u201cI\u2019ve just been attacking hitters and realizing you don\u2019t have to be perfect,\u201d Ellington said. \u201cA lot of times, hitters get themselves out. Attack hitters, fill up the zone and more times than not you\u2019ll come out on top.\u201d\nMarlins add Aviles\nThe Marlins signed utilityman Mike Aviles to a minor league contract over the weekend, a source familiar with the situation said. Aviles, a 36-year-old veteran of nine major league seasons, is a career .262/.295/.378 hitter who has played shortstop, second, third and all three outfield spots. He most recently played for Puerto Rico in the WBC.\nNew York Mets starting pitcher Adam Wilk, center, is pulled from a baseball game by manager Terry Collins during the fourth inning against the Miami Marlins at Citi Field, Sunday, May 7, 2017, in New York.

        "raw_content": "By David Musser \u2022 February 10, 2015\nIt seems like there are days when life gives us moments that make us question our self-worth. It's in these moments that we have to take a step back, take a deep breath and realize that a few bad moments doesn't mean we have a bad life. A few bad moments doesn't mean we are a bad people. A few bad moments does not determine our future. I hope you can see in yourself the absolutely amazing person that you are. And that no matter what you are faced with today you will get through this. Most of the time we have no control over what happens to us but we always have control of how we react to it. I am so grateful for the daily lessons of life. I can honestly say that I don't always make the right decisions and little by little I become stronger and more sensitive to my surroundings and without the tough experiences I would not be the person I am today. Every day I look to improve some aspect of my life. When I'm faced with similar trials that in the past I handled miserably I am so thankful for the opportunity to go through it again to prove I am more capable. Never ever give up on self. When it seems like the weight of the world is pressing you down that is the very moment you have to dig deep and tell yourself, \"I am empowered to do great things, I will get through.\" The most beautiful people I think in this world are the ones that have that unique courage to be themselves. No matter what anyone says, no matter how many laugh or mock them, they continue to be themselves even if they are alone. They don't change to get anyone to like them. They smile because they're happy and content with themselves. Believe in yourself like I and so many others believe in you!!",

        "raw_content": "People > Military > Army > Norman Frank Andrews\nTitle: Norman Frank Andrews\nNorman Frank Andrews was born in June 1898, to Leonard Frank Andrews and Annie Andrews (nee Chitty), on the Isle of Wight. The family had moved to Russ Hill Road Cottage Charlwood, Surrey, by the time of the 1901 Census, later moving to Russ Hill Farm.\nHe enlisted at Horsham in February 1917, aged 18, with \u2018D\u2019 Battery, 52nd Brigade, Royal Field Artillery, serving as a Gunner. After a few months of training, he was sent to France, where he was killed in action a year later in September 1918. An obituary appeared in the Surrey Mirror & County Post on 27 September 1918:\nReport on Norman Andrews\u2019 death, as reported in the Surrey Mirror, 27 September 1918\nNews has reached Mr and Mrs L F Andrews, of Russ Hill Farm, Charlwood, that their only son, Gunner Norman Frank Andrews, of the Royal Field Artillery, has fallen in action during the recent advance on the Western front. It appears that he was standing with his section officer and several of his comrades when a shell burst right by them, a fragment striking Norman Andrews on the head, killing him instantaneously. His section officer and the others were all wounded. Deceased, who was 20 years of age last June, joined up for military service in February 1917; was drafted out to France in September of last year; was killed on [3 September*] 1918. The burial took place in the little cemetery behind the lines. An officer, writing to his sorrowing parents, says: \u201cI have known your son ever since he joined the battery and can truthfully say that he was one of the most efficient gunners we had. He always did his duty well and faithfully, and as a man was popular both with officers and men, His loss will be felt by all who knew him.\n*Actually 5 September 1918\nNorman\u2019s friends also wrote to express their sorrow at his death; the refer to his buoyancy of spirit, his friendliness, and willingness to help at all times. He had many friends in Charlwood, his bright, cheery disposition making him a general favourite in all circles. He is buried in Vis-En-Artois British Cemetery, Haucourt, France, and is commemorated on the war memorial at St Nicholas Church, Charlwood, and on the Roll of Honour in the church.\nNorman Andrews\u2019 Grave Report on the Graves Registration Report Form",

        "raw_content": "Devolution proposals 'no basis for solution' - LTTE\nThe Liberation Tigers said Friday the Sri Lankan government's devolution proposals were unacceptable as the basis of a solution to the Tamil national question as it \"failed to address the national aspirations of the Tamil people\" and it was intended to \"promote the majoritarian [Sinhala] interests.\"\nSpeaking exclusively to the London-based Tamil Guardian, the LTTE's theoretician and chief negotiator, Anton Balasingham said on June 29 the government's devolution package \"fails to address the key demands or the national aspirations of the Tamil people as articulated in the cardinal principles of the Thimpu declarations.\"\n\"The LTTE will not accept this package because it has nothing substantial to form the foundation for a permanent solution to the Tamil national question,\" he told the paper.\n\"These proposals for constitutional reforms are not specifically addressed to resolve the national question of the Tamils but rather seeks to promote the majoritarian interests,\" he said further.\n\"The LTTE will not study or comment on any package or proposals that tends to ignore the key issues of self-determination and nationhood of the Tamil people,\" he told the Tamil Guardian.\nThe full text of the interview, e-mailed to TamilNet Friday morning follows:\nTamil Guardian: The fighting in Jaffna seems to have subsided. The government claims that the LTTE's offensive campaign has been stalemated by the armed forces using modern weapons systems. What is your comment?\nLiberation Tigers' theoretician and political advisor, Anton Balasingham Photo:Tamil Guardian\nBalasingham: The Tigers' offensive is not stalemated by the army. Our combat formations are consolidating their newly gained positions in Jaffna. The offensive campaign has been temporarily suspended to evacuate the civilians trapped in the battle zones of Chavakachcheri. The army has been using the Tamil civilians as human shields to protect themselves. They have been bombing and shelling recklessly in the LTTE controlled areas causing heavy casualties among the innocent people. The army is desperate and demoralised and taking their vengeance on Tamil lives and property.\n[Operation] unceasing waves will never stop until our strategic objective is achieved. That is, when the Jaffna peninsula is fully liberated from the alien military occupation.\nTamil Guardian: Have the LTTE fighters faced any setbacks due to the army's use of new weapons systems, i.e. the multi-barrel rocket launchers?\nBalasingham: The heavy use of this weapon system has been the primary cause of civilian casualties. This has also caused heavy damage to property in the Chavakachcheri sector. Our fighters are familiar with this weapon system. We ourselves have been using them against the Sinhala troops.\nThe government is operating with the misplaced notion that the introduction of new weapons systems will change the course of the war in their favour. It is not the weapons that determine the success of a military campaign. It is the will, determination and commitment of the combatants that determines the war. The LTTE is blessed with those human virtues, and therefore its victory is assured.\nTamil Guardian: The government and the Opposition have agreed to set up an Interim Council for the administration of the Northeast. The government has stipulated the laying down of arms as a pre-condition for the LTTE's participation. What is your comment?\nBalasingham: I think the government is living in a fool's paradise. The LTTE controls more than seventy percent of the landmass of the Tamil homeland. We are also confident that we will take control of the Jaffna peninsula in the near future. We have already instituted a de facto state in the territories under our control. We run a permanent administration there. We are not that stupid to seek a few seats in a temporary administrative set up renouncing our people's only means of defence. i.e. arms.\nEven if the government establishes an Interim administrative council it will not be able to function in the Northeast, under the prevailing conditions. The Northeastern Provincial administration could not function even under the might of the Indian army. The Kumaratunga administration is mooting ludicrous ideas for the solution of the ethnic conflict completely disregarding the stark realities of the ground situation in the Northeast.\nChandrika may want to throw a few rotten bones in the form of an Interim Administration to those power hungry Tamil mercenaries in her alliance. Yet those who seek after powers and privileges from an oppressive regime at the cost of the immense suffering of our people should realise that history will not forgive their treachery.\nTamil Guardian: Colombo has become a hive of political activity this week. The final stage of the devolution package is being worked out between the PA government and the UNP. The Norwegian peace envoy Erik Solheim has been meeting the government leaders. But there seems to be a studied silence in the LTTE quarters. What is your position regarding the devolution package? Is the LTTE prepared to study and comment if the package is given to them?\nBalasingham: The LTTE rejected the package when it was first presented to the public in 1995 as the Devolution Proposals. We rejected the package on the grounds that it had serious limitations and that it failed to address the national aspirations of the Tamil people. Since then there were two more sets of proposals, the legal draft of 1996 and the proposals for constitutional reform of 1997. Several changes have been made from the original proposals and powers of devolution have been further whittled down in the draft constitution. The PA government and the UNP in an attempt to reach a consensus engaged in deliberations for the last several months diluting further the constitutional reform proposals of 1997. Having sucked the blood and flesh out of the original package, a skeleton is now remains as the final draft.\nThe LTTE will not accept this package because it has nothing substantial to form the foundation for a permanent solution to the Tamil national question. It fails to address the key demands or the national aspirations of the Tamil people as articulated in the cardinal principles of the Thimpu declarations. The LTTE will not study or comment on any package or proposals that tends to ignore the key issues of self-determination and nationhood of the Tamil people.\nThese proposals for constitutional reforms are not specifically addressed to resolve the national question of the Tamils but rather seeks to promote the majoritarian interests. Sri Lanka has enacted several constitutions but they have been woefully inadequate for resolving the ethnic conflict. As long as constitution makers are constrained form instituting radical structural reforms in the polity enacting new constitutions has little or no meaning.\nTamil Guardian: Do you think that there is any prospect for cease-fire and peace talks in the near future?\nBalasingham: There is a prospect for a cease-fire and peace talks only if the troops occupying Jaffna are withdrawn. If the government is determined to continue the military occupation of Jaffna, then the conditions of war will prevail. The LTTE has already liberated large territories in the peninsula. This liberation process will continue until our final goal is achieved.\nTamil Guardian: The world's sole super-power, the United States and India, the regional super-power have insisted that a solution to the Tamil conflict should be found within the unity and territorial integrity of Sri Lanka. Do you think that these assertions will have a negative impact on your struggle for self-determination?\nBalasingham: America and India have made these statements for specific reasons. We understand their geo-political concerns and interests. These views are articulated not with an intention to undermine the Tamil struggle for political freedom but to encourage the parties in conflict to seek a negotiated political settlement.\nIn so far as the ultimate solution to the Tamil question is concerned it is not the American superpower nor the Indian regional power or the Sri Lankan state power that have the power of determination. It is our people, the people of Tamil Eelam, who will ultimately determine their own political status and destiny.\nTamil Guardian: What is the LTTE's position with regard to the Indian assistance of 100 million dollars credit to Sri Lanka?\nBalasingham: Though the financial aid is provided as a gesture of humanitarian assistance, we feel this credit facility will enhance the resource position of Sri Lanka and indirectly help its war effort. The Tamil people are dismayed because the Indian assistance will not be going to serve a humanitarian purpose but rather it will encourage the Sri Lanka regime to pursue the military path intensifying the suffering of the Tamil people. It is the Tamil people in the North, dying without food and medicine, who urgently need humanitarian assistance. Yet this pathetic human tragedy has not touched the spirituality or conscience of India.\nTamil Guardian International:\n\"The Tamil people will determine their own destiny\"",

        "raw_content": "Grain at the Bottom of the Sea\nApril 17, 2014 /1 Comment/in TDI Diver News en_US /by SDI/TDI/ERDI\nby Cristiana Rollino and Maids Wallace (SDI/TDI Instructor 5280)\nPhotos by Attilio Eusebio (SDI/TDI \u2013 Instructor Trainer 10319)\nMany thanks to Maids, a beginner in scuba diving, who has not only managed to translate this account in to English, but who has also understood my struggle in the world of technical diving.\nAttilio used to tell his friends: \u201cShe\u2019s not interested in fish\u2026 she likes shipwrecks!\u201d I was branded a tomboy.\nI sincerely do like shipwrecks because they epitomize nature\u2019s quiet but unrelenting take over of everything that contaminates it. They lie on the seafloor, oblivious to the dramatic event which has sunk them. They are sometimes a tangible confirmation of a real war or an other-world image in a documentary, their shape deformed by fire, by the explosion of a bomb or a torpedo. They are colonized by marine life which is unaware of the history of its dwelling place. My curiosity about shipwrecks, many of which lie below the 40 meter mark, led me to attend a \u201cDecompression\u201d course and subsequently \u201cNormoxic Trimix\u201d, both held by TDI. So, this is also the story of my wary approach to technical diving.\nThe simplest part was using bail-out tanks. Bi-tanks (10 + 10 liters), however, posed a more serious problem. Despite modifying the equipment configuration many times, I kept descending head first: even though I kept counterbalancing with fins and back muscles, I used to get out of breath and sometimes had narcosis symptoms. At last, a sympathetic soul on a diving forum suggested I shorten the crotch of my inflatable jacket and add a tail weight, thus eliminating my trim problem.\nThe Mediterranean basin was frequently a theatre for battles between the Italian Regia Marina (Navy) and the British Royal Navy during the Second World War.\nWrecks from that period can be found in the seas south of Sardinia and divers from all over Europe go there to investigate.\nMany of them, like us, go to \u201cPro Dive Diving Center\u201d, run by Susanna Sabbioni (SDI Nitrox Instructor) and Stefano Bianchelli (SDI/TDI Instructor Trainer, specializing in rebreather training), which can supply gases for tanks and a competent guide. That\u2019s Stefano himself, who knows the area very well and whose technical ability is widely recognized. He\u2019s got a bit of a crafty look but he\u2019s really very helpful and good natured.\nThe dive center is situated in Villasimius, a small village renowned for its marvelous sandy beaches: Simius Beach and the adjacent Giunco Beach , where the salt marsh lagoon hosts colonies of pink flamingoes.\nThe Loredan (-54/65 m) and the Isonzo (-43/57 m) (Fig. 1 and 2), which were part of a convoy torpedoed on 10th April 1943 by a British submarine, were our first diving destinations. The most curious wreck, however, was, in my opinion, the armed cargo ship Salpi. It was torpedoed by a British submarine on 9th February 1942 in the waters around Cape Ferrato and lies at around -47 to 60 meters depth. We planned our dive for 22 minutes at 58 meters with Trimix 18/40 and decompression with EAN50 and EAN99.\nWe descended along the rope, which reaches the central part of the ship. A big cannon was sitting on the stern (Fig. 3) and it was possible to get into the various holds (Fig. 4). There was a well preserved explosives magazine in one of these and it was possible to make out the lines of bullets laid out tidily (Fig. 5), ready for use. Two big anchors were visible just in front of the magazine.\nThe most extraordinary thing was, however, the load of loose grain, which filled one of the holds. It was at least one meter high! (Fig. 6). It was just like grain one could buy at the market; one could sink one\u2019s hands into it. It was covered with a 20 cm jelly-like layer, floating over the grain like a cloud; perhaps it was secreted by the grain itself.\nWhy hadn\u2019t the grain been eaten by fish? Perhaps there aren\u2019t omnivore fish at that depth, or perhaps metabolic fermentation processes are drastically slowed down. Unfortunately, a scientific explanation was not forthcoming, even though I asked marine biologists.\nIn another hold, a 4 cm layer of paraffin was floating near the ceiling. It had probably been used to make light. Stefano claimed that it was perfect for lubricating the zips on our diving suits\u2026an inglorious end for a historic relic.\nI was enthusiastic about this dive (Fig. 7), but it\u2019s well known that our emotions are but fleeting moments, memories recorded in our brain so that they can fill our future.\nFig. 1: The Isonzo cannon\nFig. 2.

        "title": "Digital Twin-Based Asset Management: Learning from the Offshore Indust | Transmission & Distribution World",
        "raw_content": "MR1805/iStock/Getty Images\nDigital Twin-Based Asset Management: Learning from the Offshore Industry\nDigital Twin technology has special applications for optimized operational performance and for predicted life-cycle management.\nA novel concept for lifetime extension and reduction of maintenance costs for offshore structures has been developed by Danish-headquartered consultancy Ramboll. The concept \u2013 known as True Digital Twin -- can be used in asset management for facilities in other parts of the energy sector. It has special applications for optimized operational performance and for predicted life-cycle management.\nIn the North Sea between the United Kingdom, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and France, more than 600 offshore structures have exceeded or will soon exceed their original design lifetime. The industry is facing extensive investments to upgrade or reinforce the existing infrastructure, to maintain the present oil and gas production in the future. The alternative for many installations is to consider decommissioning of outdated production facilities and consequently face significant reductions in the oil and gas production.\nTo be able to choose the best strategy, the decision-makers need thorough insight into the actual condition of their installations to establish a solution which ensures economic profitability, environmental protection and human safety. It is essential for the decision-makers to possess reliable prediction models of their assets.\nThese models - or digital twins - have been used for many years in the offshore industry. Essentially, a digital twin is a digital copy of a structure, which makes it possible to assess the structural health of an asset and provide valuable knowledge about its expected future behaviour.\nBut do they actually provide a sound and reliable prediction of the present condition? Technical Development Manager at Ramboll Ulf T. Tygesen, who is the master mind behind the True Digital Twin technology, says: \u201cThe condition of an offshore platform may have changed multiple times during its operational life due to naturally occurring degradation mechanism\u2019s and/or other structural changes like new platform extensions, increase in topside masses etc. During the lifetime of the structure, the prediction model therefore has to be modified to reflect the actual conditions of the structure.\u201d\nAnd this is where the True Digital Twin comes into the picture. To provide information on the performance and the level of uncertainty of the digital twin model, Ramboll has developed a methodology to facilitate a coupling between the real physical conditions and their digital twins. The real conditions are identified by means of a Structural Health and Monitoring System (SHMS), which provides information about the actual environmental loads and the corresponding structural response, and the data from the monitoring system are analysed through Ramboll\u2019s advanced cloud computing solution for improving the performance of the digital twin.\nUlf T. Tygesen explains the true digital twin concept: \u201cThroughout the past 24 years Ramboll has developed novel methods for assessing the real/measured uncertainties associated with the analysis of platforms. The concept of the True Digital Twin combines innovative structural health monitoring with digitalization, and it differs from other digital twin concepts by the introduced advanced methods for model updating, quantification of model uncertainties and the direct link to Risk- and Reliability-Based Inspection planning (RBI). With the new technology you go from costly and time-consuming experimental testing in the laboratory to cost-reducing full-scale testing in the field under real operational conditions. The digital twin allows for assessing, testing and optimizing the structures in a virtual world.\u201d\nBeing part of Ramboll\u2019s Digitalization & Innovation Strategy, the Digital Twin technology is based on disciplines normally not related with traditional civil engineering disciplines. The technology draws on Machine Learning, Data Mining and Pattern Recognition algorithms as well as Computer Science and Cloud Computing (HPC) and produces large amounts of data during operation using Big Data analytics.\nAlso, the implementation of the latest development techniques within reduced order modelling, sub-modelling and super-element modelling significantly increases analysis speed to a level never experienced before. \u201cIt is unique in the industry today and allows for on-line updating of the digital twin to large amounts of measured data in real time, which was not possible just a few years ago\u201d, says Ulf T. Tygesen.\nThe concept was first used in 2006 for an offshore platform, and since then its validity has been verified on projects for all operators in the Danish part of the North Sea, including INEO, TOTAL and HESS. Earlier this year Ramboll also entered a contract with Equinor (former Statoil) for the use of the True Digital Twin technology for two offshore installations and a bridge in the Norwegian sector. Ramboll has during the last couple of years further developed this ground-breaking technology together with international universities, which are among others sponsored by Los Alamos National Laboratories, New Mexico, supporting state-of-the-art technology development.\n\u201cThe True Digital Twin technology can be transferred to other parts of the energy sector. It is particularly relevant for wind turbines, towers for power transmission and power distribution solutions for further optimization of today\u2019s analysis methods. The only requirement for application of the technology within other sectors than the offshore sector is the availability of the preferred prediction models and the availability of physical measurements from a set of sensors (e.g. IoT). A True Digital Twin is gradually established by advanced on-line model updating of the predictions models using Machine Learning algorithms against actual monitored behaviour of the real physical world\u201d, concludes Ulf T. Tygesen.",

        "raw_content": "Gaining Momentum Against Patent Trolls: A 2013 Timeline\nAs Russia Expands Its 'Think Of The Children' Laws To Copyright, Agency In Charge Investigated For Infringement\nIt's Dangerous For Free Speech When We Confuse Leakers With Spies\nfrom the they're-not-the-same dept\nWe've tried to make similar points a few times in the past about our concern with the Obama administration going after whistleblowers and the journalists who publish their leaks by using the Espionage Act more than all other Presidents in history, combined (more than twice as much, actually). But the NY Times has a great piece highlighting how the federal government now seems to completely blur the lines between being a leaker and a spy.\n\u201cObama apparently cannot distinguish between communicating information to the enemy and communicating information to the press,\u201d Mr. Goodale wrote. \u201cThe former is espionage, the latter is not.\u201d\nThis is dangerous for a whole host of reasons -- including having an informed and knowledgeable public. But it's also dangerous from a First Amendment standpoint. Remember, the First Amendment protects freedom of expression and freedom of the press -- and both are closely linked when we're talking about whistleblowers leaking information to the public via the press. When we start turning the leakers and the press into \"spies\" we make that much more difficult, and as a result we have a less free society, and a much more controlling and abusive government.\nOf course, some would argue that this is the goal. The very same article quotes former Bush administration apologist lawyer John Yoo -- infamous in part because of his tortured legal defense, twisting the clear meaning and intent of the Geneva Conventions in order to pretend that the US could use torture as an interrogation technique without violating the rules. Not surprisingly, Yoo doesn't have any problem at all with condemning leakers as spies.\n\u201cManning\u2019s defenders will say that Manning only leaked information to the 21st-century equivalent of a newspaper, and that he could not have known that Al Qaeda would read it,\u201d Professor Yoo wrote in National Review Online.\n\u201cBut WikiLeaks is not The New York Times or The Wall Street Journal, and it does not have First Amendment rights,\u201d he added. \u201cManning communicated regularly with WikiLeaks\u2019 founder and would have known about the group\u2019s anarchic, anti-U.S. mission.\u201d\nOf course, Yoo is either woefully ignorant or flat out lying -- neither of which makes him look good. First of all, the Manning/Lamo transcripts make it quite clear that Manning had very little communications with Assange. But, even more important, as research from professor Yochai Benkler made clear, prior to Manning's leaks, Wikileaks was not seen as anti-US in its mission at all. Its earlier leaks had been focused on mostly corporate and government malfeasance around the globe (mostly outside the US), such as with Bank Julius Baer. As Benkler explained:\nWhen you read the hundreds of news stories and other materials published about WikiLeaks before early 2010, what you see is a young, exciting new media organization. The darker stories about Julian Assange and the dangers that the site poses developed only in the latter half of 2010, as the steady release of leaks about the U.S. triggered ever-more hyperbolic denouncements from the Administration (such as Joe Biden's calling Assange a \u201chigh-tech terrorist\u201d), and as relations between Assange and his traditional media partners soured.\nIn early 2010, when Manning did his leaking, none of that had happened yet. WikiLeaks was still a new media phenom, an outfit originally known for releasing things like a Somali rebel leader\u2019s decision to assassinate government officials in Somalia, or a major story exposing corruption in the government of Daniel Arap Moi in Kenya. Over the years WikiLeaks also exposed documents that shined a light on U.S. government practices, such as operating procedures in Camp Delta in Guantanamo or a draft of a secretly negotiated, highly controversial trade treaty called the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement. But that was not the primary focus. To name but a few examples, it published documents that sought to expose a Swiss Bank\u2019s use of Cayman accounts to help rich clients avoid paying taxes, oil related corruption in Peru, banking abuses in Iceland, pharmaceutical company influence peddling at the World Health Organization, and extra-judicial killings in Kenya. For its work, WikiLeaks won Amnesty International's New Media award in 2009 and the Freedom of Expression Award from the British magazine, Index of Censorship, in 2008.\nFurthermore, the idea that Yoo has that Wikileaks somehow \"does not have First Amendment rights\" because it's \"not the NY Times or the Wall Street Journal\" makes no sense. It's just assuming that because one brand is established and another is new that the established one automatically has greater rights than the new one. That's an argument based on nothing more than historical bias, rather than any sort of recognition of reality. Wikileaks was never focused on the US, but was focused on revealing conspiracies of all kinds -- that the US just happened to be involved in many speaks more to problems with the way the US government works, than to Wikileaks itself.\nBut there's a larger, more troubling, point in all of this. When we redefine whistleblower and leaker to the point that they're considered \"spies,\" and, at the same time, accuse journalists and media outlets of being co-conspirators and not being covered by the same basic rights that we supposedly honor in this country, the further and further we get from the basic ideals of a free and fair society. Again, those in power don't seem to much care for a free and fair society -- because they're in power. But for people who would like to have a government that actually represents the people, this should be a major concern.\nFiled Under: bradley manning, ed snowden, espionage, free speech, leaks, whistleblowing\nLurker Keith, 6 Aug 2013 @ 2:21am\nIt's just assuming that because one brand is established and another is new that the established one automatically has greater rights than the old one.\nIsn't the established one the old one?\nJust a definition\nThe definition of a leaker and a spy is far more about the information than the informant. As is the definition of a whistle blower, leaker or spy.\nYou can see that one group would consider industrial espionage, when another group could see them as leakers or whistle blowers.\nPeople blur the definition because the definitions are blurred !!\nJust as some consider Snowden a hero and other a traitor.\nHe is at the very least a spy. After all that was his job !\nRe: Just a definition\nI am not sure how common it is for a person to leak secrets from secret soervices in western countries to news sources. A consensus on what is covered, by what laws, seems to be lacking.\nIt would seem like a complete injustice for the US secret services POV if a leaker did not carry a potential for serious punishment. On the other hand, leaking information to media and not being able to pressure that media to withhold the information is new and it does not play too well with the old kind of spying or aiding and abetting the enemy. In these new cases, the problem is no longer exposure to a foreign power, but rather the information exiting the confidential circles and spilling out. Unfortunately the secret services has done this for years as the medias anonymous sources, when they had something to gain from the leak spilling out and that is the real problem.\nNow, you can analyze the leaks and get to a conclusion of if the leaks are \"dangerous\" to named people, indirectly identifyable people, the \"integrity of the operations\" or cooperating corporate entities. Now, the first 2 are serious seen from public view, while the 2 latter is a problem for the secret service or their corporate friends, which eventually is a problem for the politicians.\nIn the case of Manning, there were too little care shown to hide secondarily identifiable people and that is bad.\nWhen it comes to Snowden on the other hand, all that has happened is that secret service and friendly corporations have been exposed as doing some, at least, gray area stuff that should warrent a lot of investigations. The problem is that the political ties to secret service contractors lobbying is turning the story into a manhunt for Snowden.\nSo Snowden and Manning are nowhere near being the same kind in terms of what they exposed, but if Manning is convicted of spying, so will Snowden be, and that lack of distinction is part of what is appalling in terms of spy/whistleblower since Snowden is basically doing what other \"secret\" sources from NSA do: Informing media of general principles of the work. The only difference is Snowdens intentions are not in the interest of NSA, so basically what he should be tried for is disloyalty.\nHaudenosaun, 6 Aug 2013 @ 6:05am\nRe: Re: Just a definition\n\"what he should be tried for is disloyalty\"\nSnowden's intentions were in the interest of the American people. When the interests of the people and their governments are no longer the same, I don't think it's an act of disloyalty to expose them.\nhe should be tried for is disloyalty\n\"Disloyalty\" is not a crime, nor should it be. Snowden is a good example of why: disloyal to whom? The US government? OK, I can see that. The United States? I think he was being loyal to the US and his duties as a citizen.\nHaudenosaun, 6 Aug 2013 @ 11:23pm\nNo, it's not about content but rather the recipient of that content.\nIf information is stolen from a company and given to a competitor(s) that is industrial espionage. Whereas if information is stolen and passed to a journalist demonstrating illegality, that is whistleblowing.\nThe definition of spy and whistleblower are are not blurred in my mind. Nor were they blurred (in the public's mind) during Daniel Elsberg's time.\nThe blurring and confusion we see today have been purposely created.\nBut it's your free speech rights that you can say it is a leak or a spy, it's dangerous to say you cant to that.\nIt's the RIGHT of Free Speech to say he's a leaker, OR a spy, that's your free speech rights.\nNot to be told what we can say or think, that's not what free speech is about.\nAgain, those in power don't seem to much care for a free and fair society\nWe'll then let's have the 'free and fair' society, that should extend to the \"FAIR\" allowing of comments here on TD with the same status of comments agreeing with the article.\nIt is NOT a free and FAIR society where you are unfairly censored behind a \"REPORT\" hidden link because your free speech is not what everyone agrees with.\nHI AJ!!!! *Waves* How's that false not censorship going for ya? What's the point of continuing on about something you know the rest of us here don't agree with? Not like you're going to magically change our minds once you reach a certain number of comments complaining about it.\nThat's not AJ. Not the same writing style.\n(I know I'm not signed in here, I'm at a public terminal, but I'll claim this comment once I get home)\nIt is AJ. He's the only troll who constantly screams bloody murder about Mike \"censoring\" him.\nNot even AJ is that insistent on using poorly used punctuation. It's darryl, Australia's only citizen with \"above average intelligence\".\n\"What's the point of continuing on about something you know the rest of us here don't agree with? \"\nThat's why !!!..\nBecause you like to censor things you don't agree with !!!\nThe worst abuse of censorship you can get, by doing it you show us all how you don't believe in free speech, or constitutional rights.\nBut you use censorship as a power to stifle comment you don't agree with. I'm sure Masnick is proud of your actions.\nHey, jackass.\nWhen you're done campaigning against your government's advice to their citizens to break computing laws so they can pay less for Adobe Photoshop, you'll have the moral superiority to talk down to us.\nUntil then you're just a uselessly mouthing unimaginative turdtwat.\nIf you hadn't written that last bit you probably wouldn't get reported.\nSince you did the whole thing is a troll post so I get to hit the red button.\nI'm using the freedom of this site to tell you to quit yapping. Discuss the article not your imagined censorship war with the rest of us.\noh, so now it's censorship with THREATS too !!!\nAt least you consistently censor posts you don't agree with, why ?? because you don't agree with them.\nShows you have no idea what free speech is about, but you do know what censorship is about.\nGo ahead and censor all the posts you don't agree with, then.\nLet's see exactly how much headway you make.\nLearn to spell, darryl, or go fuck a solar panel.\n\"But it's your free speech rights that you can say it is a leak or a spy, it's dangerous to say you cant to that.\"\nNo, saying you can't do that is also free speech. Unless the government takes action to remove or restrict your ability to exercise free speech, your 1st amendment rights are fine.\nI can say that anyone posting here anonymously is a lying moron. But you can disagree. It's only \"dangerous\" when your ability to post here is removed - something this site has opted not to remove from you despite the litany of reasons you provide to show that it's a good idea. You can still lie and act like a moron with impunity, even if people are given the option to choose to hide your drivel.\nIt's dangerous when words are twisted to justify taking actions that would otherwise be unacceptable if the person was called a \"leaker\" rather than \"spy\", but that's why people have free speech rights to counteract this.\n\"where you are unfairly censored behind a \"REPORT\" hidden link\"\nThe link isn't hidden, you moron. Stop whining and trolling, then you will find your post magically avoids getting hidden. Not censored - since I wouldn't be able to read your idiocy if it were censored.\nYou're building a straw man here. Nobody has said \"you can't say that\".\nTelling other people your comment is a waste of their time IS free speech. They can still read it if they want to (I did) so it's clearly not censorship but keep on beating that cargo cult drum if it makes you feel better.\nagree with you but the problem is, those that dont want a 'free and fair society' are the ones that have all the power, all the money and all the armed, security (and i use the term very loosely) forces already. the people have the numbers but as is being found out more and more, numbers mean less and less. i appreciate what happened over the SOPA/PIPA and ACTA introductions but it should never have had to get to the stage it did! if the people that are in office who are there to represent the people dont do that but concentrate instead on doing whatever they possibly can for industries, corporations, companies, individuals AND THEMSELVES with no thought whatsoever for the people, they should not be in office! tell me how many have been ousted/replaced, i bet it's none! you only have to look at the Snowden episode. look at the representatives that are more concerned with getting him strung up for any reason they can get to stick than thanking him for making the world aware of what was going on. why is that? because those representatives have been doing absolutely nothing that they should have! those that have been doing their job are continuously being shouted down, being ridiculed and abused. until the ones that think it's ok for the people to be spied on continuously, for no reason are replaced, the government is never going to be 'of the people, for the people' again!\nit's the main issue with free speech,\n\"no, I don't agree with what you are saying, but I will defend to the death your right to say it\"\nso are you basically saying that people in 'power' should not enjoy the same free speech rights as everyone else ?\nOr that people in power should not be allowed to express their opinion ?\nThat I would consider to be a far more dangerous state to be in!\nPragmatic, 6 Aug 2013 @ 3:38am\nNo one wants to see your pee pee, AJ. Put it away. Nor do we care about how high you can swing. You are not entitled to an audience. Get over it.\nThe comment you're replying to says nothing about those in power and their free speech rights, and whether or not they should have those rights. You are doing what all trolls do best, and creating a strawman, putting words in people's mouths, simply so you can rail against them and pretend you're a hero for it.\nIf they are \"in power\" then by definition they will inevitably be able to express their opinions.\nFree speech is about people who are NOT in power being able to express their opinion without fear.\nYou have nothing to worry about. A jackass like you will never come into a position of power.\nthat's right, I don't have to agree with what you say, (and I don't) but I have to agree that you have the right to say it.\nAnd if you cant understand that you cant understand anything about free speech \"rights\".\nI understand that. I understand that free speech rights allow me to assert that a person of your (lack of) linguistic command will never come into a position of power to assert limitation of others' expressions.\nFirst of all, the Manning/Lamo transcripts make it quite clear that Manning had very little communications with Assange\nThe quoted article states he had communications with Wikileaks, not necessarily with Assuage, clearly he also communicated with Assuage.\n\"Manning communicated regularly with WikiLeaks\ufffd \"\nClearly, if Manning sent 750,000 documents to Wikileaks, he must of communicated to them QUITE A BIT !!!\nThat's ALOT of communications !!!\nReally? So if I send you a .rar file with 750,000 documents either through a torrent or cyberlocker, you download it, then you and I are in extensive contact, even if the only message actually exchanged between us was me telling you about the link?\nI think you are obsessing too much about this, 750,000 documents is a lot, by any ones standards. But it's more about context, content and intent.\nThis is all pointless anyway, once was enough.\nSo now you're backpedaling. Your previous comment suggested that Manning must have been in extensive communication with Wikileaks simply due to the amount of documents he sent. Now you're saying that a one-time communication is \"enough\"...enough to be considered extensive?\nAnd talk about obsessing...so saith the person who's constantly screaming about censorship.\n\"Your previous comment suggested that Manning must have been in extensive communication with Wikileaks simply due to the amount of documents he sent. \"\nThat's true, I do suggest that, as does the 750,000 documents he sent.\nIt not only suggests that, it confirms that FACT.\nIf you consider 3/4 of a million 'extensive'!\nAND, I am also saying 1 time communication is enough, as I said it's not frequency, it's content and intent.\nI'm also not obsessing about anything, just providing some balanced commentary.\nWhy do you guys always feel the need to redefine the English language to make a point?\nIt's perfectly possible for you to make the argument you appear to be trying to make without pretending that \"frequently\" and \"one time, just with a lot of content\" mean the same thing. They don't.\nMust of? ALOT?\nYou couldn't communicate if it slapped you in the face.\nMalor (profile), 6 Aug 2013 @ 3:30am\nObama apparently cannot distinguish between communicating information to the enemy and communicating information to the press,\ufffd Mr. Goodale wrote. \ufffdThe former is espionage, the latter is not.\ufffd\nBut, if you combine this with the fact that who we're at war with is now classified:\nhttp://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/07/26/pentagon-war-classified_n_3659353.html?utm_h p_ref=world&ir=World\nit makes perfect sense. The American people are the enemy.\nYou may think I'm kidding. You may think I'm paranoid. The latter may be true, but I think I'm absolutely correct, and that history will prove me out.\nAll this surveillance state stuff isn't to protect you from terrorists. It's to protect the government from you.\nOver the short to medium term, only those with 'acceptable outlooks', according to those doing the surveillance, will be able to prosper in politics, because people who disagree with the surveillance state will, mysteriously, be ruined. Old contacts will pop up to impugn them, or damning facts will 'accidentally be unearthed' by news agencies. They'll be able to pinpoint your opinion on surveillance almost exactly, because they'll be able to track your whole social network. And, if you or any of your friends have ever been deemed \"interesting\", they'll be able to read almost everything electronic you've ever sent to anyone. If your opinions aren't acceptable, your missteps from your past will mysteriously arise to dog you. If you support vast surveillance, then you'll sail right through, while your saner opponents struggle and fail as 'coincidences' keep piling up.\nThose who don't like the surveillance state will not have viable political careers in this country, no matter how good they might otherwise be.\nEventually, the subtle sabotage will start to become obvious, as the bureaucracy gets lazy and/or stupid, but by then the policies and procedures will be so ingrained in the government that it will be impossible to root out except through a total overthrow of the entire system -- and that's precisely what all these programs are explicitly designed to make impossible.\nIf you are an American, you are living in a police state. If you're a racial minority, you probably already know it, but if you're white, you probably haven't internalized it yet. That doesn't make it not true, it just means you haven't caught up.\nRe: It make's perfect sense\nYes I agree. Especially with the last 2 paragraphs. But let's not stop at the U.S., this is occurring around the globe.\nAnd let's not stop at politicians. What if companies around the globe are sold access to all our information? Consider the implications.\nGuardian, 6 Aug 2013 @ 3:42am\nusa has no free speech\nyou dont quit pretending\nPrashanth (profile), 6 Aug 2013 @ 5:15am\nJournalists as enemies\nIf the administration goes after journalists as if they are enemies then...is there really a difference?\nYoo's mistake\nFreedom of the press is an individual right not a corporate one that protects the ability to distribute speech en masse. At the time, the printing press was the only method for mass distribution and because they were expensive only the very wealthy publishers in the business operated them. The term \"the Press\" referring to established news organizations grew later out of this. In the first amendment context, the press refers to the actions of any individual that has the desire and ability to disseminate information to a wide audience, not an entity.\nJake, 6 Aug 2013 @ 7:05am\n\ufffdObama apparently cannot distinguish between communicating information to the enemy and communicating information to the press,\ufffd Mr. Goodale wrote. \ufffdThe former is espionage, the latter is not.\ufffd\nOh, I dunno. If politicians don't see the press as the enemy then I reckon the press is doing it wrong.\nOkay folks, if someone takes an oath to not share sensitive/classified material and then does with the world, how does this help? How does this fall into the argument of free speech? both manning and snowden had opportunities to say there was things going on that they did not like. However, there is the other side -- in court, it would appear that manning was determined to become famous. He liked having attention, this was his cause. I am bradley manning? WTF. He was and is a weak person who thought this would bring him attention and it did. Narcissist at its best, not a hero.\nPushing out info without regard to the implications is not only dangerous, but reckless. If everyone and I mean everyone worked in this manner, we would be in a pretty bad place.\nWhat if someone pushed out your personal info to the world? Is that free speech? or is that reckless? or just plain stupid?\nNow consider it was your son or daughter's info, picture, address, etc. Now, does that make it different? Is that free speech, or again, reckless disregard of the impact of the information being released?\nMost people voicing an opinion on this matter do not know what was released, how it has impacted our country, our future or our safety. There are always second and third order impacts. Some are instant and some take time to surface. I am just sick of uninformed individuals defending people or a cause without knowing all aspects.\nRe: Skewed perceptions\nIt is always the duty of any government employee to refuse unlawful orders, and to report on illegalities that the government is engaged in, no matter how uncomfortable the government is made as a result.\nSnowden had the courage to live up to his true oath, to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, not the hired staff presently in charge of the government supporting that Constitution.\nRe: Re: Skewed perceptions\nwhat manning did and Snowden as well, was not 'refuse unlawful orders', they decided they are the legal authority and determined on their own that they felt was illegal activity.\nAlthough it is impossible to think that Manning identified 750,000 incidents of illegal activity, and felt he had no choice but to break the law and oaths he took to 'expose' these 'crimes'.\nSnowden felt NSA were committing crimes, but instead exposed a possible mechanism of these crimes but not the crimes themselves.\nIt's \"possible crimes\", but it's also been confirmed these 'crimes' are in fact LEGAL, and Constitutional.\nThe previous poster is correct, Manning wanted fame, as did Assange and Snowden. Nothing more. Self aggrandisement at it worst.\n\"It is always the duty of any government employee to refuse unlawful orders\"\nNot in the military, if you have served in the military you would know, you follow the order THEN formally complain.\nAnd how do you know if the order is unlawful or not, it's lawful because it's an order. If it ends up being unlawful, the person giving that order is guilty of the crime.. not you.\nRe: Re: Re: Skewed perceptions\nClearly you've never served in the military, because the chain of command is there precisely to impede any attempts at pointing out authority mess-ups.\nBut you're a cocksucker for authority, so of course you'd believe them.\nThat One Guy (profile), 6 Aug 2013 @ 10:19am\nHoly crap, talk about the ultimate in authoritarian logic... 'It's legal/lawful because the boss says so. If you disagree, do it anyway, but make your complaint known after(where it will be promptly ignored, as the boss is always right)'.\nSorry to say but 'I was just following orders' didn't fly post WW2, and it still doesn't, a solider, by the very fact that he has free will, is just as responsible if he knowingly commits an unlawful act as the person who ordered the act.\nYou do realise this is the very logic that allowed some of the most hideous crimes and travesties of Justices to happen?\nBon, 7 Aug 2013 @ 7:51am\nI think you're missing the point. You always have a choice to not follow orders if they're not ethical. The only things you HAVE to do are be born and die. Sometimes laws get in the way of the greater good. It's also not true that \"the person giving that order is guilty of the crime.. not you\". You would be a criminal for plowing an illegal order.\nAre you suggesting that an oath to a job outweighs all ethical, moral, and social, and legal considerations?\nMike Masnick (profile), 6 Aug 2013 @ 9:53am\nit would appear that manning was determined to become famous.

Anything after that is secondary.\nI have no idea what oath Snowden might have taken since he was just an employee of a government contractor. My guess would be some sort of non-disclosure employment contract, not any kind of oath. People, companies and governments break legal contracts every single day.\nazazel1024, 6 Aug 2013 @ 7:24am\nI certainly have a problem labeling and prosecuting leakers as spies. However, leaking information IS illegal and often times for a good reason.

In this way, it quickly and efficiently assesses the potential threats passengers may pose to others.\nDr. Nathan Twyman, assistant professor of business and information technology at Missouri S&T said, \u201cThe assessment\u2019s speed and success rate are better than security at most airports in the United States.\u201d\n\u201cTypically, when travelers enter the United States on an international flight, they must go through a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) area where a CBP officer screens them. Depending on their answers, the officer might ask them one question, or a handful of questions. The process can be alarmingly subjective.\u201d\nThis automated screening kiosk eliminates this subjectivity. It asks a series of basic \u2018yes\u2019 or \u2018no\u2019 questions and measures the user\u2019s responses through a variety of techniques. There is also an infrared camera integrated with it that scans a subject\u2019s eye movement and pupil dilation. Its video camera captures natural reactions to feeling threatened, such as body and facial rigidity; and a microphone records vocal data, listening for changes in pitch that accompany uncertainty.\nA mock-up of Dr. Nathan Twyman\u2019s automated screening kiosk. Credit: Mark Williams/Missouri S&T\nTwyman said, \u201cThe system measures various psychophysiological responses and tries to make some sort of a risk assessment outcome. It\u2019s an automated risk assessment, instead of a seat-of-your-pants risk assessment.\u201d\n\u201cThere\u2019s a controlled, structured process for it. It gives (CBP officers) some more hope that they can pick out who they need to pick out instead of patting down grandma at the airport.\u201d\nWhen users approach the kiosk, it shows a computer-generated image of a young man with black hair. The machine then ask questions such as, \u201cHave you ever been arrested?\u201d and \u201cHave you moved in the past five years?\u201d When the avatar is done with its questions, the machine reports its findings question-by-question to the CBP officers or border patrol agents on duty.\nWhen the avatar is done with its questions, the machine reports its findings question-by-question to the CBP officers or border patrol agents on duty. If any risk is determined, the machine shows it on a color-coded basis. Green means low risk, Yellow means moderate risk and Red being of high risk.\nTwyman said, \u201cI made the kiosk as scientifically controlled as possible. The avatar doesn\u2019t care if it\u2019s your friend or not. It isn\u2019t interested in asking you how your day went and trying to pretend that it\u2019s human. This doesn\u2019t pretend that it\u2019s human.\u201d\n\u201cIt follows the most scientifically accepted approach to human risk assessment. It gives you a really solid baseline to work with. When someone\u2019s telling you the truth, compare that to when they\u2019re lying. Without that baseline, it\u2019s hard to really gauge people. For the kiosk, that baseline is very important.\u201d\nREFERENCEMissouri University of Science and Technology\nJOURNAL REFERENCEDOI: 10.1080/07421222.2015.1138569\nautomated screening systems\ndeception countermeasures\nhuman screening",

        "raw_content": "I Don't Want Wall Street in My Social Network\nBy Sidney Hill\nAs someone who sees value in at least some social networking sites, I'm more than a little uncomfortable with all the attention that Wall Street suddenly is directing toward this sector.\nFor the past few weeks, we've been bombarded with stories about the potential for various social networking companies to raise ridiculous sums of money in public stock offerings. Naturally, Facebook, the undisputed ruler of the social networking realm, has garnered the most headlines, along with the highest estimated valuation at US$50 billion.\nGroupon, the purveyor of discount coupons for local businesses, is worth $15 billion, making it the second most valuable social networking site, according to Wall Street estimates.\nI find fault with these numbers for several reasons, starting with the fact that my two favorite social networking sites -- LinkedIn and Twitter -- have been deemed to be worth a mere $2 billion and $3.7 billion, respectively.\nThe Future of Social Networking\nActually, I have no vested interest -- financially, emotionally or otherwise -- in how much any particular social networking site is judged to be worth. As a technology journalist, however, I am extremely interested in how all this talk of multibillion dollar payoffs will impact the future of social networking.\nTwitter and LinkedIn are my favorite social networks because I find them to be effective business tools. LinkedIn helps me keep in contact with past business associates in a way that no contact list ever could. Whenever my connections update their profiles, I know where they are and what they're doing, and I always have an easy way of reaching them.\nI know Facebook does the same thing for old friends, but Facebook also has a lot of, let's just call it \"juvenile,\" stuff floating around the site that I'd rather not get involved in. So, I find other ways of staying in touch with friends.\nThere is one thing I don't like about LinkedIn: the way some people join special interest groups -- such as the Media, Advertising and Journalism Jobs Network that I belong to -- in order to pepper other members with emails about their resume writing services or Internet-based business opportunities.\nI have to confess to using Twitter to promote this column, but that feed only goes to people who have chosen to follow me, which means they presumably are interested in what I have to say.\nWhile I get more commercial messages through LinkedIn than I would like, I find them fairly easy to ignore and even easier to delete. I fear that might change, however, if LinkedIn goes public and is forced to start generating sufficient revenue to satisfy the shareholders.\nSelling User Info to the Highest Bidder\nWill I suddenly be smacked with an onslaught of spam, bludgeoned by pop-ups or, even worse, have my personal information auctioned off to the highest bidder?\nIf you don't think that's a possibility, then you don't understand why Facebook and Groupon have been christened social networking's most valuable sites.\nWall Street obviously sees advertising as the primary way of making money in this arena, and Facebook and Groupon currently are in a better position than any of the other networks to turn large numbers of their users into ad consumers.\nGroupon has become so popular in some cities that it has generated complaints from businesses that found themselves confronted with more customers than they could handle -- and actually losing money in the process -- after issuing Groupon coupons.\nThough it continues to wrestle with privacy issues, Facebook has maintained something that all Internet-based advertisers covet: a large, loyal user base. The social games that are becoming increasingly popular features of Facebook are enticing users to spend more time on the site, making it even more appealing to advertisers.\nWhile social networks seem like ideal platforms for generating ad revenue, I question the validity of the valuations currently being attached to these sites. I'm skeptical mainly because the primary source of these valuations is Goldman Sachs -- the same Goldman Sachs that the SEC recently charged with committing multiple acts of fraud in connection with the nationwide mortgage crisis.\nI Don't Trust Goldman Sachs\nGoldman established the value for Facebook after investing $450 million in the company and securing an agreement to offer shares of Facebook to a select group of its most wealthy clients while the company remains private. This deal also gives Goldman the inside track on being the investment bank that handles what is expected to be an eventual Facebook IPO. Goldman also is lobbying to play the same role when Groupon goes public.\nIn the case of the private Facebook stock offering, Goldman expects to sell shares to investors who pony up a minimum of $2 million each. It would then put that money into a special fund that it manages on behalf of those clients. This type of fund, known as a \"special purpose vehicle,\" was used by Enron before that once high-flying energy company imploded in a major financial scandal in the 1990s.\nSoon after word of this arrangement became public, Goldman announced that it had decided to limit the offering of privately traded Facebook shares to non-U.S. clients. The SEC has neither confirmed nor denied that it questioned this deal, but I find it hard to believe that Goldman didn't believe it was about to come under some new regulatory scrutiny.\nBeyond my distrust of Goldman Sachs, I don't like the idea of social networking companies going public, at least at this time, because that typically turns out to be the first step in an industry shakeout. Remember when AOL and then Yahoo were the hottest names in the tech industry?\nI don't see Facebook crashing and burning under the weight of an IPO, but Groupon, which already has many competitors, could be vulnerable. A company like LinkedIn also could find itself in trouble if it were to start working harder to satisfy shareholders than users.\nI'd just hate to see companies that could potentially employ a lot of people for a long time -- and possibly create technology that could help other companies -- flame out prematurely just so a handful Wall Street bankers can cash a few more fat bonus checks. I saw enough of that when the dot-com bubble was deflating.\nTechNewsWorld columnist Sidney Hill has been writing about business and technology trends for more than two decades.

        "title": "Asus Transformer Pad TF300 Review - TechSpot",
        "raw_content": "The Transformer Up Close\nUsing Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.3\nTargeting the iPad 2, Asus' Eee Pad Transformer launched with much fanfare last year as it bridged the gap between tablets and netbooks by serving as both form factors via its TF101 docking station. The Eee Pad tablet sported a 10.1-inch (1280x800) IPS multitouch screen with a 1GHz dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2 SoC. Additionally, the device was loaded with 1GB of RAM and 16GB to 32GB of flash storage.\nBy itself, the Eee Pad Transformer was a competitive Android tablet, but much of its appeal stemmed from the aforementioned docking station which enabled additional usage scenarios, especially those requiring a hardware keyboard or other peripherals. The TF101 supplied a keyboard and touchpad, increased the device's battery life by 6.5 hours and offered greater connectivity via two USB 2.0 ports and a card reader.\nAt the time, we thought the Eee Pad Transformer was a great bargain. The 16GB version (with a docking station) cost only $505. This value was slightly diminished later in 2011 when Asus unveiled its $620 Eee Pad Transformer Prime with the new 1.3GHz quad-core Nvidia Tegra 3, 32GB to 64GB of storage and although it shipped with Android 3.2 Honeycomb, it has since received an update to 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich.\nAlthough the Transformer Prime's price increase was technically justifiable, it pushed the upper budgets of some shoppers. Addressing that issue, Asus has released a more affordable version called the Transformer Pad TF300T, featuring the same Tegra 3 SoC yet costing only $520 with a docking station ($385 without). You're probably wondering whether the savings are worthwhile, and that's precisely what we hope to discover...\nInside the Transformer Pad TF300\nUnlike the Tegra 2, which has numerous different models, the Tegra 3 (codenamed \"Kal-El\") has only one -- at least for now anyway. As with its predecessor, the Tegra 3 uses the 40nm design process and is based on the ARMv7 CPU instruction set. However, whereas the fastest Tegra 2 model had two cores clocked at 1.2GHz, the Tegra 3 has four running at 1.4GHz and can be overclocked to 1.5GHz when using a single core.\nThe Transformer Pad TF300 comes with either 16GB or 32GB of internal storage and a microSD slot for optional storage expansion, as well as a 2-in-1 audio jack (Headphone/Mic-in) and Micro HDMI port. Asus includes two cameras, 1.2MP in front and 8MP in back. The rear camera's photo quality is great for a tablet and we found it to be worlds better than the original Eee Pad Transformer. Video is also much improved.\nThe TF300 has a 10.1-inch LED Backlight WXGA (1280x800) ISP screen with scratch-resistant glass, a 178\u00b0 viewing angle, and 10-finger multitouch support. The only difference between the Transformer Pad TF300 and the pricier Transformer Prime is that the Prime has a Super IPS+ panel that is brighter for outdoor use.\nWireless connectivity includes 802.11b/g/n@2.4GHz and Bluetooth 3.0+EDR -- the latter of which will be appreciated by folks who plan to use a mouse with the system. The TF300 uses a 22Wh Li-polymer battery that is said to provide 10 hours of operating time. This is a slight downgrade from the 25Wh Li-polymer battery in the Prime, which offers 12 hours of run time according to Asus.\nThe TF300T dock also features its own 16.5Wh Li-polymer battery that extends uptime by another 5 hours for a total run-time of 17 hours. Asus says these claims are based on a battery life tested using the power saving mode while playing a 720p video with the brightness set to 60nits.\nWhen testing, we found that both batteries would often run out of juice after about 15.5 hours, which is a great effort. Without the docking station, the Eee Pad Transformer is good for at least 9.5 hours, which makes Asus' estimation fairly accurate.\nThe docking station also provides a full QWERTY keyboard and trackpad, which turns the Transformer Pad TF300 into a netbook-like computer. There is only one USB 2.0 port on the dock, which is an important addition as Asus excluded USB on the pad itself. A second card reader (MMC/SD/SDHC) is also included on the dock, allowing you to expand storage even further. It's worth noting that the USB ports support flash drives using NTFS.\nThe docking station can be attached to the pad using a 40-pin connector. When connected to the power outlet, the tablet battery is charged through the docking station.\nThe Transformer Pad TF300 also carries various sensors including a G-Sensor, Light Sensor, Gyroscope, E-compass, and GPS.\nNext Page The Transformer Up Close",

        "raw_content": "Payless Convinced Influencers to Spend $600 on $20 Heels\n\u201cShut up. Did I just pay too much?\u201d\nBy Emily Bloch\nUNITED STATES - SEPTEMBER 02: Shoes sit on display in the window of a Payless ShoeSource store in New York, U.S., on Wednesday, Sept. 2, 2009. Collective Brands Inc., owner of Payless ShoeSource, reported second quarter earnings of $18.7 million, or 29 cents per share. (Photo by Daniel Acker/Bloomberg via Getty Images)Bloomberg\nLast month, a group of social media influencers walked through a showcase lined with stilettos, boots, and sneakers. As they admired the workmanship and styles, many decided that they\u2019d pay hundreds of dollars for the trendy footwear \u2014 and they did. So you can imagine the shoppers\u2019 surprise when they found out that their new designer wear was actually from Payless.\nAs part of a new advertising campaign, Payless took over a gutted former Armani store in Santa Monica, California and stocked the shelves with $19.99 heels and $39.99 boots according to Adweek. The Payless logo was stripped from all the products and replaced with the brand\u2019s new bougie alter-ego, \u201cPalessi.\u201d Get it?\nFrom there, groups were invited to Palessi\u2019s \u201cgrand opening\u201d and asked their opinions. \u201cThey\u2019re elegant, sophisticated,\u201d one shopper said about a pair of floral patterned heels in a video released by Payless. We found those heels on the Payless website, by the way. They\u2019re part of the brand\u2019s Christian Siriano for Payless collection and are currently on sale for $19.99. \u201cI can tell it\u2019s made with high-quality material,\u201d said another as he caressed a pair of leather-like high top sneakers. We did some digging and those were a pair of sneakers from the Payless American Eagle collection. They\u2019re currently on sale for $29.99 and available here.\nWithin hours, Palessi reportedly sold about $3,000 worth of shoes, including pairs sold for $200, $400 and $600. \u201c[The] top offer: $640,\u201d Adweek reported. \u201cWhich translates to an 1,800 percent markup.\u201d\nDoug Cameron, Chief Creative Officer for DCX Growth Accelerator \u2014 a boutique advertising agency that handled the Palessi reverse-bait-and-switch along with marketing for companies like Elmhurst\u2019s nut milks \u2014 called the campaign a \u201csocial experiment\u201d pushed to new extremes, but also a \u201ccultural statement.\u201d\n\u201cPayless customers share a pragmatist point of view,\u201d Cameron said in a statement. \u201cWe thought it would be provocative to use this ideology to challenge today\u2019s image-conscious fashion influencer culture.\u201d\nThe videos debuted this week and will continue as a \u201cmultimillion-dollar\u201d series of ads airing on Youtube, Facebook, Instagram and cable networks including BET, Lifetime, MTV and TBS according to Ads of the World.\nAs noted by CNN price points have been reported to impact perceptions of quality before. \u201cThe campaign plays off of the enormous discrepancy and aims to remind consumers we are still a relevant place to shop for affordable fashion,\u201d Payless CMO Sarah Couch said.\nAccording to CNN, the company has been struggling against online-sales based companies like Zappos. Last year, it filed for bankruptcy and closed almost 700 stores.\nThe ad campaign has already received a ton of traction on social media. Drummer for The Roots, Questlove, called the tactic \u201cchampion trolling,\u201d while others made fun of the not-so-sneaky name switch.\nShoes were actually rung up and money was exchanged at the event, but later returned following the big \u201cgotcha moment.\u201d No word on if those influencers\u2019 pride was returned, but hey, at least they got to keep the shoes.\nWant more from Teen Vogue?

        "title": "DNA Loop-the-Loops | The Scientist Magazine\u00ae",
        "raw_content": "DNA Loop-the-Loops\nA new full-genome map indicates how DNA is folded within the nuclei of human cells.\nPhysics simulation of 5 megabases of DNA forming loops and domainsADRIAN SANBORN, EREZ LIEBERMAN AIDEN Researchers have created the highest-resolution map to date of how the human genome folds within the nucleus, according to a study published today (December 11) in Cell. The work illuminates basic facts about the genome\u2019s 3-D structure, including that it forms around 10,000 loops. It also sheds light on how genome structure influences gene expression, as looping DNA brings promoters and enhancers into close proximity. The work covers one mouse and eight human cell types.\n\u201cThis is indeed a standard-setting paper,\u201d said Bing Ren, a professor of cellular and molecular medicine at the University of California, San Diego, who was not involved in the study. \u201cIt's a landmark in the field of genome architecture.\u201d Ren\u2019s lab published its own 3-D map of genome structure last year, but according to Ren, this latest version has five to 10 times better resolution.\n\u201cThis huge dataset will be used as a highly valuable resource for many researchers to mine and address all sorts of questions related to the functioning of our genome,\u201d Wouter de Laat, who studies DNA architecture at the Hubrecht Institute in the Netherlands, wrote in an e-mail to The Scientist.\nThe work was led by Erez Lieberman Aiden, director of the Center for Genome Architecture at Baylor College of Medicine and Rice University in Houston, Texas, and Eric Lander of the Broad Institute in Cambridge, Massachusetts.\nThe researchers created their map using an updated version of a previously published method called Hi-C. (See \u201cNuclear Cartography,\u201d The Scientist, October 2014.) First, they crosslinked the DNA in cells with formaldehyde to preserve its 3-D structure. Next, they treated the DNA with restriction enzymes, cutting it into tiny pieces. They then added biotin markers to the ends of the cut DNA, followed by ligase, which binds together any free DNA ends that are in close proximity. The idea is that DNA will form small circles near where strands were bound together. Finally, the researchers sheared the DNA and pulled down biotin-marked fragments, which they sequenced.\nThe slight difference between the new \u201cin situ\u201d Hi-C and the original Hi-C is that, through the new approach, the DNA remains in the nucleus during ligation, rather than being released into a solution. This reduces the potential for accidental binding of DNA fragments to other fragments that were not actually their neighbors in the nucleus.\nHi-C yielded a dizzying array of contacts between different regions of the genome. The researchers used algorithms to determine the genome\u2019s structure. Defining loops as regions of DNA demarcated by two loci that were more frequently in contact with one another than with other loci in between them, the researchers broke the genome down the into contact domains\u2014regions of the genome in which loci tend to interact with each more than with other genomic regions. In many cases, contact domains are contained within loops.\n\u201cThe contents of the loop tends to interact with itself,\u201d explained study coauthor Suhas Rao, a researcher at the Center for Genome Architecture. Loci within contact domains also tend to have relatively uniform histone modifications. Finally, the researchers found that the genome can be divided into at least six subcompartments, or regions that segregate into similar sectors of the nucleus.\nAltogether, the team identified around 10,000 loops\u2014far fewer than previously estimated. \u201cI was shocked, frankly speaking, when I saw that number,\u201d said Ren, who himself once estimated that there were more than 1 million loops in the human genome.\n\u201cI think much depends on how you define a loop,\u201d said Giacomo Cavalli, who studies chromatin and cell biology at the Institute of Human Genetics in Montpellier, France, and was not involved in the study.\nThe researchers also found that the protein CTCF often binds to DNA at the point where it forms a loop. Moreover, they found that the two CTCFs, each binding one piece of DNA, usually face each other.\nThe researchers further attempted to understand the function of the loops. They confirmed that loops often bring together distant enhancers and promoters and that these pairings often lead to changes in gene expression. Thirty percent of the loops found in a lymphoblastoid cell line (GM12878) were formed by promoters and enhancers coming together, the researchers found.\nAnd many loops were conserved among cell types, and even between mice and humans. But others seemed to drive cell type-specific gene expression patterns. The researchers said that their map will help scientists to understand the functional effects of mutations to non-coding DNA regions.\n\u201cDetailed 3-D genome maps are crucial for the interpretation of disease-associated variants in the genome,\u201d said de Laat. Genome-wide association studies \u201coften identify risk variants located in non-coding intergenic sequences, making it difficult to understand how they drive disease,\u201d he noted, adding that 3-D genome maps could help researchers to find the targets of regulatory elements.\n\u201cWe\u2019ve associated the genes with the distal regions that control them,\u201d said Rao. \u201c[Now] we can actually start to make sense of all the mutations that we weren\u2019t able to before.\u201d\nFinally, the researchers compared looping in diploid chromosome pairs. They found that homologous chromosomes do show slightly different looping patterns, possibly reflecting imprinting that only turns one copy of a gene at a time. Predictably, they found more pronounced differences in looping between active and inactive X chromosomes in female cells. The inactive X chromosomes had superdomains and superloops much larger than those found in other chromosomes.\nThe researchers said they hope other scientists will explore their data using their downloadable tool, Juicebox. \u201cIt allows anybody, us and other users, to look at any regions that we\u2019re interested in,\u201d said study coauthor Miriam Huntley, a PhD student at Harvard University. \u201cAny user who [is] interested in a particular gene or . . . a particular enhancer or a particular mutation. They can . . . zoom into a particular region, and they can try to see what\u2019s happening there. How is the genome folding in this area that I care about?\u201d\n\u201cThere\u2019s a lot we can learn not just by reading the paper, but by going through the data and comparing them to other works,\u201d said Cavalli.\nS.S.P.

        "title": "2012 Hubble Space Telescope Advent Calendar - The Atlantic",
        "raw_content": "Time once more for one of my favorite holiday traditions: the 2012 Hubble Space Telescope Advent Calendar. Every day until Tuesday, December 25, this page will present one new image of our universe from NASA's Hubble telescope. Be sure to bookmark this calendar and come back every day until the 25th, or follow on Twitter (@in_focus), Google+, Facebook, or Tumblr for daily updates. I hope you enjoy these amazing and awe-inspiring images and the efforts of the science teams who have brought them to Earth. I also must say how fortunate I feel to have been able to share photo stories with you all year, and I wish a Merry Christmas to those who celebrate it, and peace on Earth to all. (Also, choosing the \"1280px\" viewing option below, if you can support it, will be a good option.)\nNASA's Hubble Space Telescope shows a rare view of a pair of overlapping galaxies, called NGC 3314. The two galaxies appear to be colliding, but they are actually separated by tens of millions of light-years, or about ten times the distance between our Milky Way and the neighboring Andromeda galaxy. The chance alignment of the two galaxies, as seen from Earth, gives a unique look at the silhouetted spiral arms in the closer face-on spiral, NGC 3314A. The motion of the two galaxies indicates that they are both relatively undisturbed and that they are moving in markedly different directions. #\nNASA, ESA, the Hubble Heritage Team (STScI/AURA)-ESA/Hubble Collaboration, and W. Keel, University of Alabama\nThe star HD 44179 is surrounded by an extraordinary structure known as the Red Rectangle. It acquired its moniker because of its shape and its apparent color when seen in early images from Earth. This strikingly detailed Hubble image reveals how, when seen from space, the nebula, rather than being rectangular, is shaped like an X with additional complex structures of spaced lines of glowing gas, a little like the rungs of a ladder. The star at the center is similar to the Sun, but at the end of its lifetime, pumping out gas and other material to make the nebula, and giving it the distinctive shape. It also appears that the star is a close binary that is surrounded by a dense torus of dust -- both of which may help to explain the very curious shape. The Red Rectangle is an unusual example of what is known as a proto-planetary nebula. These are old stars, on their way to becoming planetary nebulae. Once the expulsion of mass is complete a very hot white dwarf star will remain and its brilliant ultraviolet radiation will cause the surrounding gas to glow. The Red Rectangle is found about 2,300 light-years away in the constellation Monoceros (the Unicorn). #\nA small portion of the Carina Nebula, one of the largest seen star-birth regions in the galaxy. Towers of cool hydrogen laced with dust rise from the wall of the nebula. The image captures the top of a three-light-year-tall pillar of gas and dust that is being eaten away by the brilliant light from nearby bright stars. The pillar is also being pushed apart from within, as infant stars buried inside it fire off jets of gas that can be seen streaming from towering peaks like arrows sailing through the air. #\nNASA, ESA, and M. Livio and the Hubble 20th Anniversary Team, STScI\nJupiter's volcanic moon Io passing above the turbulent clouds of the giant planet, on July 24, 1996. The conspicuous black spot on Jupiter is Io's shadow. The shadow is about the same size as Io (3,640 kilometers or 2,262 miles across) and sweeps across the face of Jupiter at 17 kilometers per second (38,000 miles per hour). The smallest details visible on Io and Jupiter are about 100 miles across. Bright patches visible on Io are regions of sulfur dioxide frost. #\nJ. Spencer, Lowell Observatory, and NASA\nResembling comets streaking across the sky, these four speedy stars are plowing through regions of dense interstellar gas, creating brilliant arrowhead structures and trailing tails of glowing gas. The stars in these NASA Hubble Space Telescope images are among 14 young runaway stars spotted by the Advanced Camera for Surveys between October 2005 and July 2006. #\nNASA, ESA, and R. Sahai, NASA/JPL\nThe full beauty of the Cat's Eye Nebula (NGC 6543), seen in a detailed view from Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS), showing a bull's eye pattern of eleven or even more concentric rings, or shells, around the Cat's Eye. Each 'ring' is actually the edge of a spherical bubble seen projected onto the sky -- that's why it appears bright along its outer edge. Observations suggest the star ejected its mass in a series of pulses at 1,500-year intervals. These convulsions created dust shells, each of which contain as much mass as all of the planets in our solar system combined (still only one percent of the Sun's mass). These concentric shells make a layered, onion-skin structure around the dying star. The view from Hubble is like seeing an onion cut in half, where each skin layer is discernible. #\nNASA, ESA, HEIC, and The Hubble Heritage Team, STScI/AURA\nThis object, known as Messier 54, could be just another globular cluster, but this dense and faint group of stars was in fact the first globular cluster found that lies outside our own galaxy. Discovered by the famous astronomer Charles Messier in 1778, Messier 54 belongs to a satellite of the Milky Way called the Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy. Messier had no idea of the significance of his discovery at the time, and it wasn't until over two centuries later, in 1994, that astronomers found Messier 54 to be part of the miniature galaxy and not our own. Current estimates indicate that the Sagittarius dwarf, and hence the cluster, is situated almost 90,000 light-years away -- more than three times as far from the center of our galaxy than the Solar System. Ironically, even though this globular cluster is now understood to lie outside the Milky Way, it will actually become part of it in the future. The strong gravitational pull of our galaxy is slowly engulfing the Sagittarius dwarf, which will eventually merge with the Milky Way creating one much larger galaxy. #\nThe newest candidate for Most Distant Galaxy Yet Known. This newly discovered galaxy, named MACS0647-JD, is very young and only a tiny fraction of the size of our Milky Way. The object is observed 420 million years after the big bang, when the universe was 3 percent of its present age of 13.7 billion years. The inset shows a close-up of the young dwarf galaxy. This is the latest discovery from a large program that uses massive clusters of galaxies as natural zoom lenses to reveal distant galaxies in the early universe. Called the Cluster Lensing And Supernova survey with Hubble (CLASH), the program allows astronomers to use the gravity of massive galaxy clusters to magnify distant galaxies behind them, an effect called gravitational lensing. In this Hubble observation, astronomers used the massive galaxy cluster MACS J0647+7015 as the giant cosmic telescope. The bright yellow galaxies near the center of the image are cluster members. The cluster's gravity boosted the light from the faraway galaxy, making its image appear approximately eight times brighter than it otherwise would. #\nNASA, ESA, M. Postman and D. Coe (STScI), and the CLASH Team\nNGC 1999, a dust filled bright nebula surrounding a vast hole of empty space in the constellation Orion. Hubble Heritage astronomers, in collaboration with scientists in Texas and Ireland, used Hubble's Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 to obtain this color image. #\nNASA/ESA and the Hubble Heritage Team STScI\nA Multi-Wavelength View of Radio Galaxy Hercules A. Spectacular jets powered by the gravitational energy of a supermassive black hole in the core of the elliptical galaxy Hercules A illustrate the combined imaging power of two of astronomy's cutting-edge tools, the Hubble Space Telescope's Wide Field Camera 3, and the recently upgraded Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) radio telescope in New Mexico. Some two billion light-years away, the yellowish elliptical galaxy in the center of the image appears quite ordinary as seen by Hubble in visible wavelengths of light. The galaxy is roughly 1,000 times more massive than the Milky Way and harbors a 2.5-billion-solar-mass central black hole that is 1,000 times more massive than the black hole in the Milky Way. But the innocuous-looking galaxy, also known as 3C 348, has long been known as the brightest radio-emitting object in the constellation Hercules. Emitting nearly a billion times more power in radio wavelengths than our Sun, the galaxy is one of the brightest extragalactic radio sources in the entire sky. The VLA radio data reveal enormous, optically invisible jets that, at one-and-a-half million light-years wide, dwarf the visible galaxy from which they emerge. The jets are very-high-energy plasma beams, subatomic particles and magnetic fields shot at nearly the speed of light from the vicinity of the black hole. The outer portions of both jets show unusual ring-like structures suggesting a history of multiple outbursts from the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy. The innermost parts of the jets are not visible because of the extreme velocity of the material, which causes relativistic effects that beam the light away from us. Far from the galaxy, the jets become unstable and break up into the rings and wisps. #\nNASA, ESA, S. Baum and C. O'Dea (RIT), R. Perley and W. Cotton (NRAO/AUI/NSF), and the Hubble Heritage Team, STScI/AURA\nA composite color infrared image of the center of our Milky Way galaxy reveals a new population of massive stars and new details in complex structures in the hot ionized gas swirling around the central 300 light-years. This sweeping panorama is the sharpest infrared picture ever made of the Galactic core. It offers a nearby laboratory for how massive stars form and influence their environment in the often violent nuclear regions of other galaxies. #\nNASA, ESA and Q.D. Wang UMASS, Amherst\nA nearly perfect ring of hot, blue stars pinwheels about the yellow nucleus of an unusual galaxy known as Hoag's Object. This image captures a face-on view of the galaxy's ring of stars, revealing more detail than any existing photo of this object. The entire galaxy is about 120,000 light-years wide, which is slightly larger than our Milky Way Galaxy. The blue ring, which is dominated by clusters of young, massive stars, contrasts sharply with the yellow nucleus of mostly older stars. What appears to be a \"gap\" separating the two stellar populations may actually contain some star clusters that are almost too faint to see. Curiously, an object that bears an uncanny resemblance to Hoag's Object can be seen in the gap at the one o'clock position. The object is probably a background ring galaxy. #\nNASA and The Hubble Heritage Team, STScI/AURA\nA team of astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope reported the discovery of a fifth moon orbiting the icy dwarf planet Pluto on July 11, 2012. The moon is estimated to be irregular in shape and 6 to 15 miles across. It is in a 58,000-mile-diameter circular orbit around Pluto that is assumed to be co-planar with the other satellites in the system. Provisionally designated S/2012 (134340) 1, or P5, the latest moon was detected in nine separate sets of images taken by Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3 on June 26, 27, and 29, 2012 and July 7 and 9, 2012. This discovery increases the number of known moons orbiting Pluto to five. Pluto is at center, and, counterclockwise, from top left, are its moons Nix, P5 (very small), Hydra, Charon, and P4. #\nNASA, ESA, and M. Showalter, SETI Institute\nA planetary nebula in the making of a proto-planetary nebula. A dying star (hidden behind dust and gas in the center of the nebula) has ejected massive amounts of gas. Parts of the gas have reached tremendous velocities of up to one-and-a-half million kilometers per hour. Shown in blue is light from hydrogen and ionised nitrogen arising from supersonic shocks where the gas stream rams into the surrounding material. #\nESA & Valentin Bujarrabal, Observatorio Astronomico Nacional, Spain\nThe giant elliptical galaxy in the center of this image is the most massive and brightest member of the galaxy cluster Abell 2261. Spanning a little more than one million light-years, the galaxy is about 10 times the diameter of our Milky Way galaxy. The bloated galaxy is a member of an unusual class of galaxies with a diffuse core filled with a fog of starlight. Normally, astronomers would expect to see a concentrated peak of light around a central black hole. The Hubble observations revealed that the galaxy's puffy core, measuring about 10,000 light-years, is the largest yet seen. The observations present a mystery, and studies of this galaxy may provide insight into how black hole behavior may shape the cores of galaxies. The immense gravity of the galaxy warps the light passing by, smearing out the images of background galaxies, as seen by Hubble. (NASA, ESA, M. Postman (STScI), T. Lauer #\nNOAO), and the CLASH team\nResembling a nightmarish beast rearing its head from a crimson sea, this celestial object is actually just a pillar of gas and dust. Called the Cone Nebula (in NGC 2264) -- so named because in ground-based images it has a conical shape - this monstrous pillar resides in a turbulent star-forming region. This picture shows the upper 2.5 light-years of the Cone. The entire pillar is seven light-years long. #\nNASA, Holland Ford (JHU), the ACS Science Team and ESA\nThe barred spiral galaxy NGC 1073, found in the constellation of Cetus (The Sea Monster). Our own galaxy, the Milky Way, is thought to be a similar barred spiral, and the study of galaxies such as NGC 1073 can help astronomers learn more about our celestial home. #\nNGC 3132 is a striking example of a planetary nebula. This expanding cloud of gas, surrounding a dying star, is known to amateur astronomers in the southern hemisphere as the \"Eight-Burst\" or the \"Southern Ring\" Nebula. #\nHubble Heritage Team, STScI/AURA/NASA/ESA\nHerbig-Haro 110 is a geyser of hot gas from a newborn star that splashes up against and ricochets from the dense core of a cloud of molecular hydrogen. This image was taken with Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys in 2004 and 2005 and the Wide Field Camera 3 in April 2011. #\nGalaxies, galaxies everywhere - as far as the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope can see. This view of thousands of galaxies is the deepest visible-light image of the cosmos. part of what is called the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, this galaxy-studded view represents a \"deep\" core sample of the universe, cutting across billions of light-years. The snapshot includes galaxies of various ages, sizes, shapes, and colors. The smallest, reddest galaxies, about 100, may be among the most distant known, existing when the universe was just 800 million years old. The nearest galaxies - the larger, brighter, well-defined spirals and ellipticals - thrived about 1 billion years ago, when the cosmos was 13 billion years old. In vibrant contrast to the rich harvest of classic spiral and elliptical galaxies, there is a zoo of oddball galaxies littering the field. Some look like toothpicks; others like links on a bracelet. A few appear to be interacting. These oddball galaxies chronicle a period when the universe was younger and more chaotic. Order and structure were just beginning to emerge. The Ultra Deep Field observations, taken by the Advanced Camera for Surveys, represent a narrow, deep view of the cosmos. In ground-based photographs, the patch of sky in which the galaxies reside (just one-tenth the diameter of the full Moon) is largely empty. Located in the constellation Fornax, the region is so empty that only a handful of stars within the Milky Way galaxy can be seen in the image. The image required 800 exposures taken over the course of 400 Hubble orbits around Earth. The total amount of exposure time was 11.3 days, taken between Sept. 24, 2003 and January 16, 2004. #\nNASA, ESA, and S. Beckwith (STScI) and the HUDF Team\nThis peculiar galaxy pair is called Arp 116. Arp 116 is composed of a giant elliptical galaxy known as Messier 60 (or M60) and a much smaller spiral galaxy, NGC 4647. M60 is the third brightest galaxy in the Virgo cluster of galaxies, a collection of more than 1,300 galaxies. M60 has a diameter of 120,000 light-years, and a mass of about one trillion times that of the Sun. A huge black hole of 4.5 billion solar masses lies at its center, one of the most massive black holes ever found. The faint bluish spiral galaxy NGC 4647 is about two-thirds of M60 in size and much lower in mass -- roughly the size of our galaxy, the Milky Way. Astronomers have long tried to determine whether these two galaxies are actually interacting. Although looking at them from Earth they overlap, there is no evidence of new star formation, which would be one of the clearest signs that the two galaxies are indeed interacting. However, recent studies of very detailed Hubble images suggest the onset of some tidal interaction between the two. M60 lies roughly 54 million light-years away from Earth; NGC 4647 is about 63 million light-years away. #\nFirst prize winner of the 2012 Hubble Hidden Treasures competition, image processing category. Josh Lake (USA) submitted this stunning image of NGC 1763, part of the N11 star-forming region in the Large Magellanic Cloud. ESA/Hubble had previously published an image of an area just adjacent to this, based on observations by the same team. Josh took a different approach, producing a bold two-color image which contrasts the light from glowing hydrogen and nitrogen. The image is not in natural colors -- hydrogen and nitrogen produce almost indistinguishable shades of red light that our eyes would struggle to tell apart -- but Josh's processing separates them out into blue and red, dramatically highlighting the structure of the region. As well as narrowly topping the jury's vote, Josh Lake also won the public vote. #\nNASA/ESA/Josh Lake\nThanks to the presence of a natural \"zoom lens\" in space, this is a close-up look at one of the brightest distant \"magnified\" galaxies in the universe known to date. It is one of the most striking examples of gravitational lensing, where the gravitational field of a foreground galaxy bends and amplifies the light of a more distant background galaxy.

The galaxy's hallmark is a brilliant white, bulbous core encircled by the thick dust lanes comprising the spiral structure of the galaxy. As seen from Earth, the galaxy is tilted nearly edge-on. We view it from just six degrees north of its equatorial plane. This brilliant galaxy was named the Sombrero because of its resemblance to the broad rim and high-topped Mexican hat. At a relatively bright magnitude of +8, M104 is just beyond the limit of naked-eye visibility and is easily seen through small telescopes. The Sombrero lies at the southern edge of the rich Virgo cluster of galaxies and is one of the most massive objects in that group, equivalent to 800 billion suns. The galaxy is 50,000 light-years across and is located 28 million light-years from Earth.

After no other qualified bidders emerged to challenge the insurance and investments company, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Virginia is set to give its approval to the sale \u2013 a move that is expected to save the Canadian business from liquidation \u2013 at a hearing on Tuesday morning.\nThe new owner intends to put more capital into improving the retail experience, even as e-commerce becomes more popular among consumers.\n\u201cThere\u2019s so much more that can be done if Melanie [Teed-Murch], the CEO, is given the earnings generated in the business to spend on bringing the business into the modern retail era,\u201d said Paul Rivett, president of Fairfax. \u201cFrom a bricks-and-mortar perspective, think about young families with young kids and being able to make it more of a destination where the kids can be playing with Thomas the train, and the parents can be grabbing a coffee.\u201d\nFairfax\u2019s backing brings to an end months of uncertainty surrounding the fate of the Toys \u201cR\u201d Us business in Canada, where it is the second-largest toy retailer after Walmart, with a 29-per-cent market share. While online sales are becoming a larger part of Toys \u201cR\u201d Us Canada, 86 per cent of revenue came from physical stores in its last fiscal year, according to the company.\nToys \u201cR\u201d Us, which is based in Wayne, N.J., filed for bankruptcy protection in September after struggling with a hefty debt load left over from a US$6.6-billion privatization in 2005. After a restructuring effort failed, Toys \u201cR\u201d Us stores in the United States and Britain announced plans to liquidate their operations in March. Some business units in Canada, Asia and Central Europe were earmarked for sales, and other geographies continue to review their options.\nThe Canadian division, which made up about 7 per cent of Toys \u201cR\u201d Us global sales, has been profitable for a decade and independently runs its merchandising, planning and purchasing systems.\nFairfax had a variety of reasons for wanting to rescue the business. For one, it owns several other retail businesses including Cara Operations Ltd., Golf Town and Sporting Life Inc. and believes there are ways to combine their back office and purchasing operations to generate some savings.\nFairfax also didn\u2019t perceive much financial risk to the transaction, given the assets and real estate the business has and the strength of the brand. Toys \u201cR\u201d Us Canada attributed a $220-million valuation to the 22 stores the company owns outright and has another $70-million in net working capital.\nIn addition to Fairfax\u2019s Canadian acquisition, the central European business in Germany, Austria and Switzerland was sold over the weekend to Irish retailer Smyths Toys, pending court and regulatory approvals.\nMr. Rivett wouldn\u2019t rule out the potential to work with other international buyers to create an e-commerce engine that could serve the U.S. market in the wake of the liquidation. \u201cIt is a global company, and it has just been fractured, so there might be a way to put Humpty Dumpty back together again, so to speak. We will see what can be done,\u201d he said.\nThe shakeup at Toys \u201cR\u201d Us has caused uncertainty for toy makers and retailers. But Canada has shown stronger growth in the toy market through the year and during the last holiday season than the United States, according to Michelle Liem, director of toys at market researcher NPD Group. \u201cWe\u2019re seeing a lot of success with specialty toy retail. That includes Toys \u201cR\u201d Us as well as Indigo and Mastermind. I think Canadian consumers really enjoy that experience.\u201d\nMs. Liem said perhaps the biggest opportunity for Toy \u201cR\u201d Us is to find new ways to get consumers to spend more time in the stores and create a destination for families to go and have fun beyond just shopping. The brand also needs to remind Canadian consumers that they\u2019re open for business, she said.\nMr. Rivett hopes his company can help with that.\n\u201cWe believe that having Fairfax behind the Canadian business \u2013 if there was any lingering doubt around the name in Canada \u2013 will get vendors and Canadian families to see it is business as usual at Toys \u201cR\u201d Us in Canada.\u201d\nHasbro blames Toys \u2018R\u2019 Us for dismal first quarter\nFairfax closes in on Canadian Toys \u2018R\u2019 Us deal Subscriber content\nToys \u2018R\u2019 Us turns down bid for stores from MGA Entertainment: source",

        "raw_content": "How Democracy Ends review \u2013 is people politics doomed?\nRepresentative government is experiencing a calamitous midlife crisis, argues David Runciman in this scintillating if gloomy treatise\nSun 20 May 2018 02.00 EDT\n\u2018An old man with the political personality of a child\u2019: Donald Trump. Photograph: Saul Loeb/AFP/Getty Images\nSome people sniff the air and smell an alarmingly foul whiff of the 1930s. The rise of demagogues and \u201cstrongmen\u201d; the resurgence of authoritarianism, nationalisms and fundamentalisms; the denigration of expertise and the celebration of ignorance; scorn for consensus-builders and pragmatic compromise; the polarisation of politics towards venom-spitting extremes. Haven\u2019t we seen this horror movie before?\nNo, argues David Runciman in this scintillating treatise about representative democracy and its contemporary discontents. Donald Trump is \u201can old man with the political personality of a child\u201d, but he is not \u201ca proto-Hitler\u201d. We are not reliving the first half of the 20th century in Europe. Vladimir Putin presides over a \u201cparody democracy\u201d in Russia, but he is not Stalin. Some of the symptoms of democratic decay may seem familiar, but the disease is different. We make a potentially fatal mistake if we think that history is just repeating itself. Gaze obsessively into the rear-view mirror and we won\u2019t see the true threats on the road ahead.\nHe is right to register \u201cwidespread contemporary disgust with democratic politics\u201d. Some of the sources that he identifies will be familiar to readers of the burgeoning literature on the malaise afflicting the more mature democracies. Voter confidence has been sapped by governments that struggle to deliver the underlying contract to spread prosperity sufficiently widely and fairly that everyone has the sense of a stake in society. It is not surprising that many Americans were discontented enough to choose the wild ride of Trump when you consider that the average real wage in the United States has been stagnant for the past 40 years. The internet, far from being the elixir of democratic accountability and engagement that utopians once imagined, has poisoned the well. Opposed sects promote conspiracy theories in their rival echo bubbles rather than engage in reasoned debate around an agreed set of facts. Democracy has become more venomous \u2013 and at the same time more toothless. Governments flounder in the face of the disruption unleashed by the tech titans of Silicon Valley and subverters tilling the troll farms run out of the Kremlin. Short-termist politicians are inadequate to the task of tackling existential threats to humanity, such as climate change, because thinking about the end of the world \u201cis too much for democracy to cope with\u201d.\nRunciman is gloomy because one of his key contentions is that representative government has lost the capacity to reinvigorate itself. In the opening decades of the 20th century, support for democracy was widened by extensions to the franchise and the foundation of welfare states. He offers the provocative thought that democracy also thrived \u2013 even depended upon \u2013 \u201cchaos and violence\u201d because they \u201cbring the best out in it\u201d. The second world war demonstrated the benefits of democracy when confronted by nazism. The cold war \u2013 this is my suggestion, not his \u2013 advertised why liberal capitalist democracy was superior to totalitarian communism.\nFor all its flaws, where democracy has enough time to put down roots it proves durable. He offers the example of Greece, a country that was ruled by a military junta within living memory. Despite a series of flailing governments presiding over a dire economic situation that has inflicted enormous stress on the population, the Greek military has not put a bootcap out of its barracks.\nYet Runciman finds this not a reason to be cheerful, but another cause for concern. A thought-stimulating strand of his case is that the resilience of the mature democracies is at the heart of their failings. \u201cStable democracies retain their extraordinary capacity to stave off the worst that can happen without tackling the problems that threatened disaster in the first place.\u201d Despite the look-at-me title of the book, he doesn\u2019t think democracy is over. Rather, he contends it is suffering a \u201cmidlife crisis\u201d. In the American iteration, \u201cDonald Trump is its motorbike\u201d. His presidency could end in \u201ca fireball\u201d but it is more likely to be looked back at as a phase of decline that is \u201csimply embarrassing\u201d.\nFor all its manifest and manifold imperfections, democracy has a better record than any rival form of government\nRunciman\u2019s flair for turning a pithy and pungent phrase is one of the things to admire about his writing. The cogency, subtlety and style with which he teases out the paradoxes and perils faced by democracy makes this one of the very best of the great crop of recent books on the subject. What he doesn\u2019t offer is solutions, bluntly admitting \u201cI do not have any\u201d. There is penetrating diagnosis here, but no suggestion of a cure. He considers the alternatives and rightly finds them wanting. The Chinese experiment with authoritarian capitalism may look seductive to those who think economic expansion is all that matters to a society, but can the repressive Beijing model survive the inevitable day when growth slows down? Government by experts, \u201cthe rule of the knowers\u201d or \u201cthe epistocracy\u201d, was advocated by Plato and is still promoted by those who regard citizens as too stupid to be trusted with making decisions. The public wouldn\u2019t wear that and \u201cintellectuals\u201d are just as prone to making terrible mistakes as the crowd. Runciman seems attracted to the idea that technological advances could offer some form of \u201cliberation\u201d, but comes to the equivocal conclusion that this \u201cincludes all sorts of potential futures: some wondrous, some terrible, and most wholly unknowable\u201d.\nI share a lot of his anxieties, but ultimately he didn\u2019t persuade me to subscribe to his underlying despair. For all its manifest and manifold imperfections, democracy has a better record than any rival form of government at sustaining free, innovative, peaceful and prosperous societies. Yes, democracy is often messy, clumsy and ineffectual. Yes, voters sometimes empower ghastly rulers. Yes, democracy is looking tired at this moment in its history. But almost despite himself, and without saying it this explicitly, Runciman seems to accept that there is something special about democracy. One of its great merits is the capacity for self-questioning and self-correction, which is lacking in other systems of government whether they be tyranny by emperor, colonel, president of the praesidium, priests or data. Democracy can go wrong, but it has the flexibility to put itself right. As Runciman acknowledges, \u201cdemocratic politics assumes there is no settled answer to any question\u201d and this \u201cprotects us against getting stuck with truly bad ideas\u201d. As Tocqueville put it: \u201cMore fires get started in a democracy, but more fires get put out too.\u201d\nI finished this book feeling more hopeful than I thought I would be and the author probably expects his readers to be. Democracy can change its mind and by doing so it can improve its circumstances and prospects. This is a precious quality that contains within it the possibility of renewal. Donald Trump is not the end of democracy\u2019s story.\n\u2022 How Democracy Ends by David Runciman is published by Profile (\u00a314.99).

        "raw_content": "Uber's US Sales Have Rebounded Somewhat, But Lyft Is Still Gaining Share\nLyft has grown twice as fast as Uber in the past year and while the former's market share is up only 2%, Uber's is down 10%. Dont let anyone ever tell you an intangible like reputation doesn't matter.\nLooming over all of this trend data is the question of what it may be doing to Uber's valuation and the price of its pending IPO. JL\nUber\u2019s business has grown by 15% from March to September in the U.S. That was after more than 400,000 Uber riders deleted their accounts earlier this year in the wake of the #deleteUber campaign, which led to a drop in business. Still, Uber\u2019s sales have grown slower than its rival Lyft, which saw a 33% increase in sales in the same period. Lyft now controls 22% of the market. Uber\u2019s share is still down from last year, owning 74% of the U.S. ride-hailing market compared with 84% last year.\nUber is coming to the close of its worst year ever, sparked by the first of two #deleteUber campaigns in January, followed by a leadership shake-up and an ongoing shareholder battle.\nBut the $69 billion company is beginning to see its business recover in the U.S., according to new data.\nUber\u2019s business has grown by 15 percent from March to September in the U.S., according to credit card analytics company Second Measure.\nThat was after more than 400,000 Uber riders deleted their accounts earlier this year in the wake of the #deleteUber campaign, which led to a drop in business.\nStill, Uber\u2019s sales have grown slower than its rival Lyft, which saw a 33 percent increase in sales in the same period.\nLyft, which according to sources is not yet profitable in the U.S., expanded into more than 160 new cities this year and now operates in more than 360 cities. It recently hit one million rides a day for an annualized run rate of 350 million miles.\nUber, on the other hand, was much more aggressive about its expansion both in and outside of the U.S. and reached the one million miles a day milestone in 2014.\nUber\u2019s and Lyft\u2019s relative sales\nNow the company is in the hands of its new CEO, Dara Khosrowshahi, who plans to turn the Uber image around as he prepares to eventually take it public.\nLyft\u2019s share of the market is still growing. The company had less than 20 percent of the market before January and now controls 22 percent of it. Uber\u2019s market share is still down from last year, owning 74 percent of the U.S. ride-hailing market compared with 84 percent last year.\nThis year marked the first time Uber\u2019s business has been materially impacted by its public relations issues. It was also the first time Lyft was able to capitalize on Uber\u2019s woes.\nYet, there\u2019s much more room to grow in the U.S.\nIn September, only 10 percent of all U.S. consumers took Uber and 4 percent took Lyft. Surprisingly, the majority of those that do take ride-sharing services typically use one service exclusively \u2014 not both.\nAs of September, 71 percent of ride-hail consumers used Uber exclusively and 19 percent used Lyft, up from 13 percent in December before the #deleteUber campaign. Only 10 percent use both services.\nThe breakdown of how many people in the U.S. use Uber or Lyft",

        "raw_content": "Why You Should Travel To London\nA small bit about my trip to London and why I recommend it for everyone.\nJacob Lesinski Nov 8, 2017\nFrom a young age, I realized just how much I loved traveling, especially to the bigger cities. As I aged, that love seemed to only grow. However, even with my trips to American cities, nothing could prepare me for the wonders to be found in London, whether they be subtle or more obvious. That week-long trip alone convinced me that everyone should travel to the great city at least once in their lifetime.\nThe first reason why anyone should travel to London at least once is that you receive the opportunity to observe and admire some of the great historical sites, history, and landmarks of a country. When I went to London, for example, I got to see Stonehenge, the old Roman city of Bath, Westminster Abbey, and so much more. Getting to observe any of these historical sites was a dream of mine. I even saw the Globe Theatre!\nAnother good reason to travel to London is the experience you receive from the other culture. In the U.K., there were quite a few things that I saw were much different. For example, one of the most obvious differences is the love of soccer (football) compared to our relative indifference for it. Hell, when I went, there were tours of the most famous stadiums in all of London. Another sport, people showed lots of passion for was rugby, whereas here it has much less exposure. Also, slang terms I picked up. Too many, too profane, but many I learned as a result. Many that are very different from anything we have heard here.\nAlso, food. Maltesers are the BOMB when it comes to candy. Pure, chocolatey goodness that I'm glad is finally in the United States. The fish and chips they serve there are also ten times better than any of the versions I have had here. Walker's Crisps as well. Even tea time with the scones we ate was fantastic. There is such great food to be found in London. However, there were certainly some different things I did not expect. Breakfast? Sausage. Lots of it. Potatoes too. Beans were included sometimes too. It was different. Also. Mushy peas? Yeah.. No.\nOverall, London is a wonderful city to experience and immerse yourself in. Food, culture, history abound in this wonderful city. Whether you want to simply partake of the great food, observe the great sites such as Buckingham Palace, or any mixture of what you want, it is a city filled with wonder and delight. It is very much worth the trip.\nCover Image Credit: Jacob Lesinski\n18 Daily Things I Was Not Prepared For When I Came To Live And Study In The UK\nby Alexis Burnett\nI Went To A Club In Italy\nby Brooke Burney\nEveryone Should Visit Rome At Least Once In His Or Her Life\nThe atmosphere of the city truly makes you feel like you're in the middle of a movie set.\nMorgan Patipa\nMorgan Patipa Jan 2, 2019\nI am writing this article while sitting on a bus heading from Rome to the airport to catch my flight to Paris and it has given me some time to reflect on my last few days here. After spending quite a bit of time here, I definitely think that If you get the opportunity to travel to Rome, you should do so, you will not regret it. You may be asking yourself, why is Rome so special and fantastic? Isn't it just home to the Colosseum, the Vatican, and some good Italian restaurants? The answer is no, Rome is so much more than that, it's fabulous cuisine, jaw-dropping architecture, fantastic attractions, and it truly makes you feel as if you've been transported back in time and are in the middle of history.\nWhile in Rome, my family and I had the opportunity to visit both the famous Sistine Chapel and the Colosseum. Both of these incredible attractions made us feel as if we were really there, in Ancient Rome and in the presence of Michelangelo as he painted the ceiling of the chapel. In addition, the jaw-droppingly gorgeous architecture added to the beauty of the city. From the Trevi fountain to the capital building to the statues in the Vatican, every structure made me look up in absolute awe. Truthfully, it is well worth going to Rome just to see the beautiful architecture.\nFurthermore, the atmosphere of the city truly makes you feel like you're in the middle of a movie set. Everything is so picturesque that you feel like it isn't even real like it's a facade. One day my family and I stopped to have a snack at this small restaurant that was situated on a quiet street and we all kept remarking at how it was so beautiful (and how the food was so good) and especially how it felt like we were on the set of a movie, with how picturesque and quiet it was. Simply put, the sights of Rome are breathtakingly beautiful! Everywhere you look you find more \"hidden gems\" that add more and more beauty to an already incredible city.\nIn addition to talking about all of the beautiful architecture, great attractions, and amazing atmosphere, how can one go to Rome and not talk about the food! The food in Rome in indescribably good. The pizza, while very different from what you typically find in a pizza place in the United States, is extremely fresh and delicious. The pasta was absolutely amazing and much thicker than what you would find in America. The vegetables were extremely fresh, especially the tomatoes which were very red and actually much sweeter than I anticipated.\nOverall, from its architecture to its atmosphere to its attractions to its food, going to Rome was an incredible experience. And it was definitely an experience that I will never forget! I will definitely be back for another experience of a lifetime! Now it's on to Paris and then London. Ciao, for now, Rome, and Grazie (that's thank you in Italian) for everything.\n4 Ways To Be Present While Traveling\nby Abby Malloy",

        "raw_content": "MEPs blast harsh sentences for Catalan political prisoners\nMEPs from various political groups in the European Parliament are up in arms over the excessive prison sentences the Spanish prosecutor wants to hand down to Catalan pro-independence leaders.\nThe EU-Catalonia dialogue platform has signed a joint statement expressing its deep concern at the \u201charsh\u201d sentences demanded by the Spanish prosecutor for Catalan political prisoners who had \u201cpeacefully and democratically\u201d pursued their nation's right to self-determination.\nSeveral Catalan pro-independence leaders have been in pre-trial detention for more than a year following their role in organising Catalonia's self-determination referendum in October 2017.\nOriol Junqueras and Ra\u00fcl Romeva, two former MEPs from the Greens/European Free Alliance group, are among those held. Their trial is expected to be held early next year.\nJordi Sol\u00e9 slams EU Commission over handling of Catalonia crisis\u200b\nEU must offer mediation in Catalonia crisis, say MEPs\nMEPs urge dialogue in Catalonia crisis\nMEPs condemn events in Catalonia as EU Commission refuses to intervene\u200b\nA joint statement signed by members of the EU-Catalonia dialogue platform, set up to promote a \u201cstronger role for the EU as a mediator\u201d in the current spat between Spain and Catalonia, has now been sent to the Spanish authorities.\nIn the statement the MEPs say: \u201cWe, the members of the EU-Catalonia Dialogue Platform, want to express our deep concern about the request of the Spanish prosecutor to demand a total of 177 years in prison for the Catalan pro-independence leaders, who have been in pre-trial jail for more than a year for having organised a referendum on self-determination.\u201d\nAccording to voting figures provided by the Catalan government, approximately 90 percent of the votes cast were in favour of independence.\nLast Friday, the attorney general of Spain\u2019s Supreme Court, formally charged Junqueras, the former Catalan vice-president, with rebellion, and demanded a 25-year sentence for him. The former Catalan government ministers Joaquim Forn, Jordi Turull, Josep Rull, Ra\u00fcl Romeva and Dolors Bassa all face 16-year sentences.\n\"Catalan leaders have been accused of crimes they have not committed based on violence that has not existed\"\nJordi Cuixart and Jordi S\u00e0nchez, the president and former leader of the two main Catalan grassroots movements respectively, and Carme Forcadell, the former speaker in the Catalan parliament, face 17 years as \u201cpromoters and leaders\u201d of the rebellion.\nAccording to the court papers, the defendants were \u201caware\u201d that violence could have erupted during the attempt to bring about the independence of Catalonia, and they are accused of a \u201cgeneral uprising, leading to acts of force, aggression and violence.\u201d\nIn the statement, the MEPs say, \u201cNot only are these accusations false and made up to fit into a narrative that justifies the charge of rebellion, but they have also been refuted by the Belgian and German courts, when they refused to extradite the former Catalan President Carles Puigdemont (twice) and the ministers in exile on the grounds of rebellion.\u201d\nPuigdemont is currently in exile in Belgium.\nThe statement goes on, \u201cCatalan leaders have been accused of crimes they have not committed based on violence that has not existed. Furthermore, the fact that the press had access to the document before the lawyers of the defendants is, once again, clear evidence of the many irregularities and violations of the rights of the defendants that are surrounding this cause.\u201d\n\u201cThe decision to pursue the most serious charges laid against the accused has destroyed any hope that the socialist government might lead to any meaningful negotiation on the Catalan issue. The lack of political response by the Spanish authorities is provoking dramatic consequences and we will do what it is in our hands to denounce it. There has been no crime; this construction has nothing to do with reality.\u201d\nThe MEPs said that if such sentences are passed it would set a \u201cdangerous\u201d precedent in Spain and the European Union.\n\u201cThe already shrinking position of the EU as guarantor of fundamental rights would be irreversibly affected; and its silence has also contributed to make European citizens feel that the European Institutions are far away and do not really protect them as they are supposed to.\u201d\n\u201cFor all these reasons, we want to make a call to the European institutions to urgently reconsider what protecting, promoting and guaranteeing civil and political rights mean to them,\u201d the statement added.\nPM+: Montenegro's 'Fa\u00e7ade democracy' conceals corrupt and authoritarian regime\nMontenegro latest progress report is a timely reminder of the contempt with which the country's prime minister Milo \u0110ukanovi\u0107 treats the European institutions, argues Andrey Petrushinin",

        "title": "15 Nice Guys Who Finished First In Movies And TV Shows",
        "raw_content": "15 Nice Guys Who Finished First In Movies And TV Shows\nWho said nice guys finish last? Many people believe that women prefer bad boys even though they are all wrong for them. Nice men have no chance to date them, as girls only need them as a shoulder to cry on once their heart is broken. This situation doesn't seem to make sense and you are right to think so. Many TV and movie characters can already prove that ladies are interested in nice guys, too.\nWomen have been dreaming of prince charming since they were just a kid watching Disney movies. That's why it's so surprising to see them on a date with the big bad wolf. Even though they might want the wolf to eat them for a moment, they usually choose the good guy before the final scene of the film. It might take some time for women to understand that what they want is not what they need. But once they get more mature, they'll start to be more interested in Mr. Right.\nIt is time to give the nice guys some hope so they don't turn into bad guys, too. If you are not in a relationship with the woman of your dreams yet, don't worry: it's not the end of your story but just the beginning. After all, kind men deserve their happy ending too. Here are 15 nice guys who finished first in movies and TV shows. How do you think so many of them manage to make it out of the friend zone? Read this list to find out!\n15 Ted and Robin - How I Met Your Mother\nTed always put a lot of effort into trying to get women to fall in love with him. Months after saying \"See that girl, I'm going to marry her someday\" when he first saw Robin, the two started dating each other at the end of the first season.\nThis nice guy always did his best to impress the lady: stealing a blue French horn, making her a fun light show for Christmas, and always being there for her even if he can only be her friend. No matter what he did, Ted wanted to make Robin happy so she would fall in love with him. He was happy to see that all these efforts were really worth it when they started dating. Unfortunately, things got a little more complicated and the couple had to break up. Even though it couldn't last forever, he got the opportunity to have a beautiful time with the woman of her dream and that's what matters the most. Never regret something that once made you smile. Anyway, this love story was doomed to be over as she was not the mother Ted was talking about.\nIt's not until the end of the series that viewers finally learned about whom Ted really married and had kids with. However, it seems like the show was actually about \"How I met your aunt Robin.\" Ted had to finish with her, and he made sure he would.\n14 Leonard and Penny - The Big Bang Theory\nWho thought nerds couldn't find love? Even though these guys complained that women can't love guys like them because they like things like science and video games, Leonard ended up in a relationship with an amazing and beautiful woman like Penny.\nThe guys on this show used to make no effort to meet any women or present themselves in a better light. Even though they thought that women didn't like them, the problem was not that they were nice, but that they didn't do anything to prove that they were. Penny only thought of Leonard as a neighbor until she had to go through a difficult break-up and confessed that she wanted to go out with a guy like him. This is how this socially awkward guy found the courage to invite her out and she accepted. After a lot of complications, just like in any sitcom, the two were happily married, twice.\nLeonard is not the only one who found a date: don't forget Sheldon and Amy, and Howard and Bernadette. This is the proof that every toad can one day find a princess and become their Prince Charming... as long as they have the courage of a knight.\n13 Scott and Ramona - Scott Pilgrim vs. the World\nIn this world inspired by video games, Scott had to fight Ramona's evil exes to be in a relationship with her. Competing with six different bad guys - and a bad girl - he proved that nice guys have the strength to finish first, too.\nWhen he met Ramona, Scott knew she was the girl of his dreams (literally). However, he never expected that several people who dated her were ready to fight to make sure he wouldn't be with her. Even though this good guy doesn't like to compete, he used his strength, his intelligence, and his courage to prove that he is the one Ramona needs. Saying that he is doing all this because he loves her, Scott Pilgrim certainly had what it takes to impress the girl he was fighting for. He didn't only win the fight, he also won her heart.\nThe real reason why Scott won the race was not because he was the strongest... It was because he was the one who was ready to do anything to be with her. Let's hope that the two stay together or Scott will have to become another of these evil exes.\n12 The Doctor and Rose - Doctor Who\nThe Doctor is the nicest guy in the universe: he always risks his life to save the world, thinks that everyone is important, and loves to give hugs. Even though his relationship with Rose seemed impossible, he found a way to spend his life with her.\nThe Doctor didn't want to be in a relationship with Rose because she was a human and he was an (almost) invisible Time Lord. He knew that she would spend her life with him if they stayed together but he wouldn't get the chance to spend his life with her because he would live for centuries. Seeing her aging and one day dying was too difficult for him. However, a half-human Doctor was one day created, giving life to a mortal version of him. The Doctor made sure he would join Rose in a parallel universe so the two could live and die together.\nEven though the real Doctor will be single forever, he made sure the love of his life would always have him by her side. This is the greatest example of altruism as he did everything to make her happy without expecting anything in exchange.\n11 Jim and Pam - The Office\nSince the beginning of the series, Jim and Pam's friendship caught viewers' attention as they were constantly having fun together. Even though she had been engaged to another man, a nicer guy proved that he had what it takes to make her laugh every day.\nIt is true that spending a lot of time together can make you fall in love. After all, when you are having fun every day with someone, it's difficult to imagine a day without them. Jim was entertaining himself with practical jokes and finally found someone to have fun with. Unfortunately, Pam was engaged to Roy so Jim thought that his love for her was going nowhere. When Michael found out about it, he decided to tell the entire office that this good guy had feelings for Pam. She said that she only thought of him as a friend... until he left unsatisfied and she realized how much she needed him.\nAfter a lot of complications and unsatisfying relationships, Jim and Pam started dating each other in season 4. Being best friends is what made them perfect lovers and they lived happily ever after and had many babies.\n10 Clay and Hannah - Thirteen Reasons Why\nWhen is the best time to tell someone you love them? Before someone else does... Or before they think that no one will love them anymore. Even though she fell for the bad guys several times, Hannah always had one guy on her mind: Clay.\nWhen the two started working together, Clay thought he could only be friends with this beautiful and awesome girl. Too shy to tell her how amazing she is, to invite her to the dance, or to make her feel better when she was feeling down, this nice guy missed many opportunities to prove to Hannah that life was worth living. Unfortunately, he was so nice that he would do anything to make things change. He was so nice that she thought she wouldn't be good enough for him. This is how he lost her forever.\nEven though Hannah's life ended dramatically, Clay always finished first in her heart. If only he had the courage to do something, they would have had the opportunity to live happily together for a little longer.\n9 Henry and Lucy - 50 First Dates\nVia Plugged In\nHenry met a woman he likes and thought everything was going well...until he discovered that he had to do it all over again because she lost her memory every single day. It really takes a nice guy to make a woman fall in love with him every day.\nAfter a car accident on her birthday, Lucy was living the same day all over again. She forgot everything that happened in the last 24 hours, including the day she met Henry. Her father and everyone she usually meets acted like nothing happened, but the man who has a crush on her thought she deserved better. He wanted to turn her life into a love story, even though he would have to tell her what happened every day since they met. Even though he sometimes failed and scared her, Henry didn't give up and always tried his best to make sure every day is the best day of her life.\nHenry is the proof that doing your best to make a woman fall in love is always worth it. This is a good guy who finished first not only once, but every day for several years. No bad boy would ever be able to do that.\n8 Fry and Leela - Futurama\nAfter waiting centuries to find the mutant of his dreams, Fry had the opportunity to grow old with Leela in the series finale. Time froze for everyone but them, so they spent their lives together and even got married happily with no kids.\nFry couldn't keep his eyes off Leela for a very long time. This is why he was jealous when he saw her date other guys as he thought he would make a much better boyfriend. Unfortunately, she considered him to be a \"kid from the stupid ages\" even though this nice guy kept telling her that she was perfect and beautiful. Fry did get the chance to impress her when he was infected by worms that made him stronger and intelligent, but he later realized that she loved the worms, not him. He had many other occasions to be with Leela, but it is not until the end of the series that it really worked out. After years of pursuing her, Fry realized that all these efforts were worth it as he spent decades alone with his partner, as frozen time flew too fast.\nUnfortunately, Professor Farnsworth fixed the button that caused the time to freeze and reset everything back to the way it was before. Even though the characters didn't remember anything that happened, viewers do know nice guys do finish first in the end.\n7 Eric and Donna - That 70's Show\nThis socially awkward teenager who had a crush on the girl next door saw his wish granted when he started dating the girl of his dreams. For all those young men who thought they didn't stand a chance, Eric is the proof that nice guys can find love too.\nEric and Donna had been next-door neighbors ever since they were children. The first thing she did when she met him is punch him in the stomach and that's how he fell madly in love with her. They stayed best friends for years until Eric admitted that he was in love with her in the That 70s Show pilot. This could have ruined their friendship but Donna shows that she loves him too by giving him their first kiss. Daring was certainly worth it: without risk, there's no reward. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.\nEven though the two had to break up two times, they were back together during the show's finale, and are probably still dating each other. Making his teenage dream come true, Eric proved that only the nicest guy can win Donna's heart.\n6 Charlie and Sam - The Perks Of Being A Wallflower\nCharlie is the stereotypical nice guy as her friend Sam (Emma Watson) told him about her boyfriend cheating on her and asked why she always ends up with the bad guys. Charlie gave her the best answer: \"We accept the love we think we deserve.\"\nCharlie was a quiet, sensitive teenage boy who was considered a wallflower: a lonely person who feels shy, awkward, and excluded. That didn't stop him from becoming friends with Patrick and Sam... or maybe a little more than friends. After telling him that she wanted to make sure that the first person he kissed loves him, Sam moved forward and kissed him. However, their relationship became a bit more complicated as she was dating a guy and another girl was interested in Charlie too. The wallflower later found the courage to tell her about his feelings for her and she was angry that he never acted on them. Unfortunately, even though she wanted to be with him, Charlie was not ready for it.\nNice guys do have what it takes to finish first, as long as they participate in the race. Sam wanted to give him her heart a long time ago, but he never took it. Maybe now that he is feeling better, he'll do what it takes to make sure they stay together.\n5 Kristoff and Anna - Frozen\nYoung (and older) girls are finally learning how to recognize bad guys. Even though Prince Hans seemed nice at first, Anna realized that it takes them to fall in love, you shouldn't simply marry someone because of passion.\nWeren't all the other Disney princes rich bad boys? Ferdinand kissed Snow White when she was dead, Rapunzel's prince was a thief, and Prince Charming wasn't able to recognize Cinderella's face after dancing all night with her. Anna almost married a manipulative man too until her sister Elsa told her \"You can't marry a man you just met.\" She later found a real nice guy, as Kristoff did everything he could to help her find her sister and save the kingdom.\nWith this new role model, women might start to notice the nice guys and tell the players to get lost. It is time for a new generation of girls who won't be easily seduced by looks and confidence but that will wait for someone who really deserves them.\n4 Ross and Rachel - Friends\nRoss and Rachel were close friends for several years even though he had a crush on her since high school. After he tried to tell her how he feels for a whole season and she attempted to get him back in the second season, the viewers were glad to see them dating.\nIn the first season, Ross was always too shy or unlucky to tell her about how he felt. To make things more complicated, Rachel was dating an Italian stud until she realized he was not a good guy and Ross later had to choose between Julie and Rachel. Even when they found a way to make it work, they broke up less than an hour after. Fortunately, they became a serious couple in the second season and Ross was glad to see nice guys can win a lady's heart, too. It takes a lot of effort, but it is certainly worth it. After all, don't we appreciate more the things we worked for?\nThings never stop being complicated as they shared an on-again/off-again relationship but the couple did find a way to live a happy ending. We're hoping Ross and Rachel finally got married - again - after the series finale and are hopefully still together.\n3 Archie and Betty and Veronica and... - Riverdale\nWho thought nice guys and redheads couldn't be popular amongst girls? The new Archie had everything it takes to seduce a lot of girls, and he does. This good guy already kissed many classmates (and a teacher) in this first season of Riverdale.\nHe secretly dated Miss Grundy, Betty was in love with him, he kissed Veronica in a closet, a Pussycat kissed him after the variety show... No one was able to resist Archie now that he was so nice and handsome. Women didn't even mind breaking the law or ruining their friendships to be with him. However, Archie didn't take advantage of the situation. Even though he liked to have fun, he respected women's feelings and truly wanted to find the woman he loves. Isn't that what makes him even more charming?\nThe first season isn't over and the redhead already finished first so many times. And he is not the only good guy who seduced a girl, as Jughead and Betty make a great match too. If you want to find girls who like nice guys, you know what school you should probably go to.\n2 Clark and Lois - Superman\nVia Tim's Film Reviews\nSuperheroes are some of the best examples of nice guys who finish first. Even though Clark Kent seemed boring and modest, Lois Lane couldn't resist him once she found out about all the things he can do.\nJust like Mary Jane loves Spider-Man, women can't resist Superman. Superheroes are so nice that they would give their life to save a stranger, so imagine what they could do for the love of their life. However, it was difficult for Clark Kent to get the attention of Lois. That's because he was competing with his better self: Superman. Women dream of someone like Superman but ignore Clark Kent as they walk past him every day. Good guys do have everything it takes to seduce a woman. They just need women to notice them and get to know them so they can prove that they are the one they need.\nUnfortunately, being too nice is what kept superheroes away from the girl they love. By trying to save everyone, they put their lives at risk. Maybe this is the real reason why nice guys sometimes finish last, it's dangerous to be around superheroes.\n1 Ron and Hermione - Harry Potter\nAdmit it: you all thought Hermione would end up with Harry Potter. The Boy Who Lived was a hero who fought bad guys and dared to be arrogant with some teachers. However, the young woman fell in love with a man she knew would always be there for her.\nThe two had been friends for years before Ron started to realize that Hermione was not only smart but also so beautiful and caring. They always liked to tease each other but, as they got older, Ron became jealous and admitted that he wanted her to be more than a friend. After all, when you risk your life every day, you don't want to spend a single minute away from the one you love. However, J.K. Rowling revealed on Pottermore that Hermione is the one who liked him from the start.

        "raw_content": "Film Review: Tyler Perry Back in Drag for \u2018Boo! A Madea Halloween\u2019\nNo one has ever accused Tyler Perry of being short on ideas. After all, the prolific writer/director has been the brains behind a profusion of plays, movies and television shows. But he would be the first to admit that he was not the source of inspiration for \u201cBoo! A Madea Halloween,\u201d the ninth in the Madea series revolving around the sassy, sermonizing granny.\nRather, the idea originated with Chris Rock, who featured a fake poster for a film with the identical title in his 2014 comedy Top Five. Because the joke went viral, Tyler decided why not get back in drag and make a movie to meet the demand generated by the buzz.\nBut \u201cBoo!\u201d definitely has a different feel from the previous Madea movies in that it is less your typical Tyler Perry morality play than a rudderless, kitchen sink comedy seizing on any excuse for a laugh. For the Madea found here is no longer that Bible-thumping role model reliably interfering on behalf of an underdog in distress. Yes, one minute, she's might be promoting old-fashioned values. However, there she is in the next scene exposing her breasts to lecherous frat boys.\nThe film does feature a rudimentary plot revolving around Madea's 17 year-old grand-niece, Tiffany (Diamond White). Note that the premise is established at the point of departure and promptly abandoned. It's Halloween, and the headstrong high schooler and her girlfriends hope to attend an \"epic\" party being thrown at Upsilon Theta frat house.\nSince her divorced father (also played by Perry) will be otherwise occupied, it falls to Madea to babysit Tiffany, to make sure the rebellious teen never leaves the house. Made arrives with an entourage of amusing misfits, including marijuana-addicted Aunt Bam (Cassi Davis), marble-mouthed Hattie (Patrice Lovely), and old fool Uncle Joe (also played by Perry).\nSoon, silly Halloween-themed one-liners, non sequiturs, slapstick and sight gags start flowing at a fast and furious rate that will undoubtedly be appreciated by the target African American audience. Yet, many of the punchlines are just as likely to be lost on those unable to decipher the often-inscrutable Ebonics-laden exchanges.\nBrace yourself for the specter of self-righteous Madea serving up street justice to clowns, collegiates, ghosts and goblins!\nGood \u2605\u2605\nRated PG-13 for drug use, suggestive content, profanity, ethnic slurs, scary images and mature themes\nStockett's 'The Help' Heads to the Big Screen\nJanet Jackson: The 'Why Did I Get Married Too' Interview\nKam's Kapsules: The Eclipse",

        "raw_content": "Home Music Introduction Introducing Max & Mango\nThe French Duo Max (right) & Mango (left)\nThere is a certain appeal in listening to music in a foreign language (in this case French). One gets to imagine the lyrics and, if the music is catchy, this doesn\u2019t prevent the yearning to sing along. That\u2019s exactly the case with Max & Mango \u2013 12 and 13-year-old French boys who have been in the spotlight ever since 2014 when they published their first hit-single Tout va bien (All is Well) which, at the time of writing, has more than 3 million views.\nTout va bien (All is Well)\nIt\u2019s unfortunate that the online information in English about Max & Mango is extremely scarce, but given the global nature of the internet and their obvious talent it doesn\u2019t come as a surprise that the boys have managed to acquire a significant fan base despite the language barrier. For the purpose of this article, I have researched French publications and the excellent French language blog Kids Vocal, which is a great resource for presentations of CD, DVD or VCD of young singers and pop groups.\nMango Marlin and Maximilian Jendrzezak\nThe music of the talented French duo (whose full names are Maximilian Jendrzezak and Mango Marlin) is energetic and vibrant, filled with positive vibes that appeal to audiences of all ages. Its catchy and upbeat, reminding one of the Belgium boy band ZaBoyZ (who also sang in French), and who also released an album in collaboration with Warner Music France.\nAs expected, the biggest fan base of these charismatic boys is comprised of young girls but, in all honestly, it takes a real horrible person not to be moved by their animated pop vibes (literally moved as in singing and dancing along).\nMax & Mango \u2013 Faire le tour du monde\nOne could not help but notice how extremely well Max & Mango handle themselves in front of the camera. This, in addition to the professionalism of the people working with them (Warner Music France), is likely attributed to the extensive modeling experience they have acquired from participating in photoshoots for various fashion brands (such as John Galliano) and retail chains (Carrefour). The boys actually met on one of those photoshoots at the age of five and discovered that they shared a passion for music (Max took singing lessons at the school of music of Saint-Amand-les-Eaux while Mango Marlin is passionate about traditional Caribbean percussions). They\u2019ve remained best friends ever since.\nMax & Mango \u2013 Capitaine Abandonn\u00e9\nMax & Mango have already released two albums. The first is All is Well, released in July 2014 with Warner Music and featuring ten songs). The second album is Abandoned Capitan, which contains 12 songs under Three 8 Management and was released only a month ago (24-Jun-2016).\nThe boys seem to favor the summer months for the release of their albums and that makes sense, as the bouncing electro-pop that characterizes their music is refreshing and definitely contains summer hit material.\nYou can follow Max & Mango on Facebook and YouTube\nRed Rodent Jul 8, 2016 at 1:37 PM\nMy French teacher would have given me detention for their pronunciation of \u201cEytoiles!\u201d\nBut then I always wanted to speak French, not school French.\nKillua Oct 25, 2016 at 6:41 AM\nOdd, they pronounce it properly. o.o\nRed Rodent Jul 7, 2016 at 11:14 PM\nThey\u2019re not bad, but I can\u2019t help feeling that their musical appreciation is dominated by their cuteness.\nUnlike Hanson, of course. But then I had a HUGE crush on Danny Jones from McFly, hehe\u2026\nOK \u2014 Verdict:Pretty good.\nGeorgi Jul 8, 2016 at 12:13 AM\nI for one had my room plastered with Hanson posters ( with photos to prove it ) . In anycase when it comes to music or any performance art- who says that good looks are not important . In the case of Max and Mango I am sure their presence was a factor when Warner decided to sign them up. That being said I extremely enjoy their music \u2013 listening to it on repeat as I find it joyful and it never fails to boost my mood .",

        "raw_content": "Deal, or no deal, NAFTA uncertainty means consumers lose out, say experts\nBy Terry PedwellThe Canadian Press\nOTTAWA\u2014Under almost any normal circumstance, the negotiation of a trade pact between countries should result in benefits for consumers, say experts who are closely watching the North American free trade talks unfold in Washington.\nAfter all, the mutual lifting of trade barriers \u2014 should result in more competition, which should translate into more consumer choice and, therefore, lower prices.\nWhile final details of the agreement have yet to be laid out, what has been seen so far indicates that automakers could soon be dealing with more complex trading rules that will add costs to manufacturing and ultimately hurt consumers, says Patrick Leblond. (David Zalubowski / AP)\nBut with Donald Trump driving the agenda for the American side of the bargaining process, some experts warn that the uncertainty generated by the negotiation of a new North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) will ultimately hurt consumers.\n\u201cNothing that\u2019s going down right now in Washington should be presented as being a win from a consumer point of view, or an economic point of view,\u201d says economic consultant and researcher Dan Ciuriak, senior fellow at the Centre for International Governance Innovation.\n\u201cThis is protectionism, cost-raising and uncertainty-raising,\u201d he added. \u201cCompared to the status quo, (consumers) are going to be worse off.\u201d\nThe most striking example involves one of the biggest investments Canadians make \u2014 buying a vehicle.\nDonald Trump confirms Star story on his secret bombshell remarks about Canada\nOpinion | Jennifer Wells: Dairy farmers need supply management, in Canada and the United States\nThe preliminary agreement between Mexico and the United States announced last Monday would, if enacted, require that 75 per cent of the parts in any vehicle sold in North America be produced in the U.S. or Mexico.\nThe current requirement is that about 62 per cent of parts be produced in the U.S., Mexico or Canada.\nThe deal also included stronger labour standards, requiring that 40 to 45 per cent of auto parts in cars sold in the U.S. be made by workers earning at least $16 (U.S.) per hour.\nIf the goal of the NAFTA talks was to simplify rules of origin and allow for more integration and cost efficiencies in the North American auto sector, consumers might expect to reap a cost-saving benefit, said Patrick Leblond, an international relations professor at the University of Ottawa.\n\u201cClearly that\u2019s not what the Mexicans and the Americans agreed to,\u201d said Leblond.\nWhile final details of the agreement have yet to be laid out, what has been seen so far indicates that automakers could soon be dealing with more complex trading rules that will add costs to manufacturing and ultimately hurt consumers, he added.\n\u201cIt doesn\u2019t look like prices will come down, and it seems they are likely to increase as a result.\u201d\nMeredith Lilly, Carleton University\u2019s Simon Reisman chair in international affairs, has her doubts about theories that a revised NAFTA will mean higher consumer costs.\nProvisions to increase autoworker wages, for instance, will have no effect on consumers, said Lilly.\n\u201cRaising wages for autoworkers in Mexico is directly a way for the United States to push more manufacturing back into the United States, because it reduces the attractiveness of Mexico as a jurisdiction for manufacturing,\u201d she said.\n\u201cI don\u2019t think we will see big shifts at all on the price of cars. However, you may see less movement of plants from either of the other two NAFTA countries into Mexico.\u201d\nWhere consumers could see some benefit, though, is through changes to rules governing trade in dairy products, she said.\nIf a new NAFTA were to eliminate Canada\u2019s protectionist supply management system \u2014 something Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has vigorously opposed \u2014 prices of dairy products would fall under the pressure of increased competition from south of the border, Lilly explained.\nBut even then, it could take years to feel the full effects, she predicted.\n\u201cIf the Canadian market is opened up, I would anticipate a very long transition period. So whatever benefits might accrue would be quite far down the line,\u201d she said, pointing to slow uptake by business of provisions included in the Canada-EU trade agreement known as CETA.\n\u201cIt also would require cost savings to be passed on (by producers) to the consumer, which is something that isn\u2019t a given.\u201d\nBut simply granting more American access to Canada\u2019s dairy market \u201cis something where I think that you wouldn\u2019t necessarily see big movements in terms of benefits to consumers.\u201d\nAnd then there are pharmaceuticals.\nA fact sheet on the U.S.-Mexico deal included a provision that would give big drug makers 10 years of protection for biologic drugs, and expand the list of drugs covered by those protections. Industry watchers have warned that providing longer patents to drug makers would ultimately result in higher prescription costs.\nIn Canada, biologics, which include anti-inflammatory medications such as Remicade, are effectively protected from competition from generic products for eight years.\nAnd last year, seven of the top 10 patented drugs seeing growth in sales in Canada\u2019s $16.8 billion patented medicines marketplace were biologics, according to the Patented Medicine Prices Review Board.\nBut the hit predicted to the wallets of Canadian consumers is not just a product of the NAFTA negotiations, said Ciuriak, who once worked as deputy chief economist at Canada\u2019s Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade.\nThe uncertainty created in the business world by Trump over global trade generally is already hurting Canadians and will be felt for some time, he said.\n\u201cWe\u2019re already worse off and will be worse off for at least a decade as a result of that.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Auditor general says Presto smart card cost has ballooned to $700 million\nThe cost of the Presto fare card has skyrocketed to $700 million, according to the Ontario auditor general. (Jayme Poisson / Toronto Star)\nBy Tess KalinowskiTransportation Reporter\nThe cost of delivering the Presto smart card to Toronto area commuters has nearly tripled to $700 million, says the 2012 Annual Report of Ontario\u2019s auditor general.\nThe auditor said the card may be among the most expensive in the world \u2014 and isn\u2019t delivering the breezy commute that was promised to Toronto region transit riders.\nMetrolinx, the provincial agency charged with delivering the Presto system, says it is already taking steps to contain future Presto costs, and Ontario Transportation Minister Bob Chiarelli defended the system Wednesday, saying he\u2019s \u201cvery, very pleased with the progress of Presto,\u201d given the complexities of working across nine transit systems.\nThe province contracted a private provider, Accenture, to build the regional fare card and operate the system for 10 years for about $250 million.\nOntario NDP Leader Andrea Horwath accused the Liberal government of being \u201cstubbornly fixated on this particular supplier for this card.\u201d\n\u201cOur pass is apparently one that is going to be the most expensive and somewhat out of date,\u201d she said.\nProgressive Conservative transportation critic Frank Klees called Presto a boondoggle and scandal.\nThe auditor attributed the climbing cost of Presto to a failure to expand on the base Presto system when the TTC and Ottawa signed on. Instead Metrolinx developed a new, expanded system called Presto Next Generation (PNG).\nIt wasn\u2019t even clear, said the report, whether Metrolinx owned the rights to the Presto system.\nSince the audit, Metrolinx has signed an agreement giving it intellectual property rights to the system, said CEO Bruce McCuaig. Now the agency is taking steps to contain the Accenture costs. Instead of using the company to procure the 10,000 card readers that will be needed on the TTC, that job will be done in-house, McCuaig said. Metrolinx expects to save $20 million.\nTechnology has advanced since Presto was launched six years ago, he acknowledged.\n\u201cWe always knew you would have to build capacity,\u201d he added. \u201cTo go from 400,000 users that we have on the existing system to up to 2.5 million users, there\u2019s more server capacity and system capacity you need to manage that increase in volume.\u201d\nWhen the deal was procured for GO Transit and the 905-region transit systems, he said, the TTC and Ottawa transit weren\u2019t yet part of the partnership, \u201cand we didn\u2019t have their business requirements. Now that the TTC is fully on board we need to make sure the system meets their business requirements.\u201d\nPresto Next Generation will let TTC and Ottawa riders to pay with credit and debit cards, and allow those systems to offer a bulk fare option similar to the TTC\u2019s Metropass. Metrolinx has promised that Presto will be available throughout most of the TTC by the Pan Am Games in 2015, and it plans to roll out the card in Ottawa between January and April.\nThe number of riders using Presto has also grown significantly since the audit period in March 2012, McCuaig said. The auditor\u2019s report says only 6 per cent of regional transit users had signed onto Presto by then \u2014 18 per cent of riders once GO was factored in.\nBy September, those numbers had more than doubled, to 13 per cent of local bus riders and 60 per cent of GO riders. When GO discontinues its monthly passes on Jan. 1, Metrolinx expects that 90 per cent of those riders will be using Presto.\nThe auditor also criticized Metrolinx for being behind schedule and up to 25 per cent over-budget on the Union Station renovation.\nHis report further suggested that the express train shuttle Metrolinx is building to connect Union Station to Pearson International Airport is unlikely to attract the 1.8 million riders it is projecting for the first full year.\n\u201cIf the aim is to break even in its first year (a goal that has not yet been decided on) Metrolinx would have to charge about $28,\u201d says the report \u2014 too much for airport workers and many travelers. Most other cities charge between $1.60 and $13 for a similar service, noted the report.\nThe air-rail service, dubbed UP, would be a more marketable proposition if it had a public transit component, said NDP MP Mike Sullivan (York-South Weston). \u201cThere should be local stops, reasonable fares on a train that is useful to more of the neighbourhoods that it goes through, as is the case for many other rail links in the world. In Vancouver it\u2019s an extra $5 to get on the Canada Line if you want to go to the airport. That sounds reasonable. Thirty dollars is not public transit,\u201d he said.\nChiarelli stressed that there is no business model for the air-rail link, which is supposed to open before the 2015 Pan Ams.\nBecause the service doesn\u2019t yet exist in Toronto, it\u2019s not clear how many riders the airport train will attract, McCuaig said. \u201cThe plan is to update our ridership forecast at least twice before we launch.\u201d\nCorrection: This article was edited from a previous version that incorrectly said CEO Bruce McCuaig couldn\u2019t say what savings Metrolinx would achieve by moving Presto card reader procurement in-house.",

        "raw_content": "As Israel mourns kidnapped teens, airstrikes target Hamas in Gaza Strip\nBy Ian DeitchThe Associated Press\nJERUSALEM\u2014Tens of thousands of mourners converged Tuesday in central Israel for a funeral service for three teenagers found dead in the West Bank.\nThe teens\u2019 bodies were discovered on Monday after a two-week search and a crackdown on the Hamas militant group.\nIsrael has accused Hamas of carrying out the abduction, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned \u201cHamas will pay.\u201d\nThe deaths of Eyal Yifrah, 19, Gilad Shaar, 16, and Naftali Fraenkel, a 16-year-old with dual Israeli-American citizenship, have prompted angry calls for revenge. Netanyahu convened his Security Cabinet for an emergency meeting to discuss a response to the killings, hours after airstrikes targeted dozens of suspected Hamas positions in the Gaza Strip.\nAhead of the late-night meeting, Netanyahu vowed a tough response against Hamas, saying Israel \u201cwill not rest\u201d until it catches the killers. He also warned of stepped up military activity in Hamas-controlled Gaza if rocket fire out of the territory continues.\n\u201cHamas continues to support, even at this time, the kidnappings of our citizens and is directly responsible for firing rockets and mortars at our territory, including in recent hours,\u201d Netanyahu said in a statement aired on national TV. \u201cIf there is a need, we will broaden the campaign as much as needed.\u201d\nAvi and Rachel Fraenkel attend a service for their son, Naftali, in the West Bank Jewish settlement of Nof Ayalon on Tuesday. He was one of three Israeli teens whose bodies were discovered on Monday, (Tomer Appelbaum / The Associated Press)\nIsraeli troops also shot dead a Palestinian man in the West Bank, where the teens disappeared on June 12.\nThe three young men were buried side by side in the central Israeli town of Modiin. Mourners arrived in large convoys of buses arranged for the ceremony.\nNetanyahu and President Shimon Peres were among the speakers to eulogize the youths, whose bodies were wrapped in blue and white Israeli flags and laid on stretchers. Hundreds of people also participated in separate memorial services in the hometowns of the three teens.\n\u201cRecently, the people of Israel went through a great trauma,\u201d said Shirel Shaar, Gilad\u2019s younger sister. \u201cWe are living as if we are in a movie, whose ending is as bad as can be,\u201d she said. \u201cI don\u2019t have a brother anymore.\u201d\n\u201cWe are burying a child today, a child who could have been the child of any one of us,\u201d said Finance Minister Yair Lapid. \u201cTherefore he is indeed the child of each and every one of us.\u201d\nIsraeli officials say the three were abducted while hitchhiking home from the Jewish seminaries where they were studying near the West Bank city of Hebron.\nHamas has praised the kidnappings but not confirmed or denied Israeli allegations that it was involved.\nTheir disappearances prompted the army to launch its largest ground operation in the West Bank in nearly a decade, dispatching thousands of troops to search for teens and arresting nearly 400 Hamas operatives. The search came to a sad end on Monday afternoon when the bodies were found buried under a pile of rocks in a field north of Hebron.\nThe crackdown in the West Bank has been accompanied by a spike in rocket fire out of the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip. At sundown, Gaza militants fired five more rockets toward Israel, raising the total number of rockets launched Tuesday to 10, the army said. The barrage, which caused no damage or injuries, raised the likelihood of new Israeli reprisals.\nOvernight Tuesday, the Israeli air force carried out airstrikes on 34 targets, including a Hamas compound, the military said. Palestinian officials said four people were wounded.\nIn the West Bank, Israeli troops shot and killed a 20-year-old Palestinian man during a raid in the northern town of Jenin. Israel said the man had thrown a grenade at the troops. But his family said he had been carrying eggs home for a pre-dawn meal before the daylight fast for the Ramadan holiday.\nIsraeli authorities have released few details on the abduction, or the search for the teens. On Tuesday, Israeli media published a recording of an emergency call made to police by one of the teens shortly after the abduction.\n\u201cThey kidnapped me,\u201d a voice, believed to be Shaar, can be heard saying. Another male voice is then heard, shouting, \u201chead down.\u201d Police confirmed the recording is authentic. Hotline workers initially dismissed the call as a hoax, delaying the rescue efforts for several hours, and several workers have been disciplined for the mishap.\nIsrael has not yet decided how it will respond to the deaths of the youths. Netanyahu\u2019s Security Cabinet held a stormy, three-hour meeting late Monday but was unable to agree on a response. It was to meet again on Tuesday.\nThe Israeli daily Haaretz said that Defence Minister Moshe Yaalon had proposed building a new settlement in the West Bank in memory of the teens. Another cabinet minister, Naftali Bennett, proposed a large-scale military operation in Gaza and to begin using the death penalty against Palestinian militants.\nIsrael is also reportedly considering the deportation of senior Hamas members from the West Bank to Gaza, where they would face tight travel restrictions and be separated from their families.\nIn Jerusalem, several hundred right-wing Israeli youths arched through a main road, screaming for revenge. Police escorted the crowd, which briefly blocked Jerusalem\u2019s light rail service, as it made its way toward the city centre.\nThousands of Israelis have died in wars and militant attacks over the years, and Israel has grappled with the abduction of soldiers and civilians in the past. But the ages of the victims, and the fact that they were unarmed civilians, struck a raw nerve.\nIsrael has said two well-known Hamas operatives from Hebron are the primary suspects. The men, Marwan Qawasmeh and Amer Abu Aisheh, have not been seen since the teens went missing, and military officials said the search for them would continue.\nIsraeli soldiers blew up a door of Abu Aisheh\u2019s home in Hebron early Tuesday, said an Israeli military official, speaking on condition of anonymity due to protocol. AP photos show extensive damage to one side of the house.",

        "title": "10 Tips For Getting Started in Graphic Design - Wonder Forest",
        "raw_content": "I get a lot of questions in my inbox asking me how to get started in the design biz, so I figured it would be easier to just write a post about it to share my tips. This will cover the basics about what you need and how to jump right in!\nFirst of all, if you\u2019ve decided that this is the path for you, I think the main thing is to have a sense of creativity. An artistic background definitely helps and also means that things will come easier to you. I\u2019m a strong believer that this path is not for everybody. I believe that design is art and that to be successful in this industry, you need to have a sense of artistic know-how. Design is not a career path to choose if you simply want to make money and place yourself into some sort of industry. Before you can design, you need to understand design. That means everything from colour theories to styles to where you draw your inspiration from. You need to understand what goes together and what doesn\u2019t. You also need to love it. Once you\u2019ve got that covered, here are a few things you\u2019ll need:\n2. Get With The Program\nIf you\u2019re serious about this design business, you need Photoshop. Not the cheapo versions like Elements, but the real, full featured CS ones. The version you start out with is really up to you. I know some designers always want to stay on top of their game and get the latest versions, but personally I use CS3 for the majority of my stuff. I\u2019ve tried every upgraded version and always ended up downgrading back to CS3. I think the whole integrated addition of Adobe Bridge really ruined the whole flow for me. Either way, they all pretty much do the same things. If you really want to go all out, grab a suite version which includes Illustrator among other things.\n3. Tablet\u2026 Your New Best Friend\nThis is insanely helpful and I don\u2019t know how I did anything before I had a tablet. I have a Wacom Bamboo which is not the most top-of-the-line tablet, but it has treated me well and does what I need it to. Trust me on this\u2026 There will be times when you will be designing something and just wish you had a tablet to make things more free-flowing.\n4. Mac vs. PC?\nAlong with these things you should probably invest in a decent computer and a great monitor. There is nothing worse than a super slow system (and believe me, Photoshop can eat up your resources) and a monitor that doesn\u2019t display the correct resolution or colours. It\u2019s no fun if you see your work on somebody else\u2019s screen and it just doesn\u2019t look the same as you originally meant for it to look. If Photoshop takes more than 2 minutes to open, that is probably a sign that you need a better computer. Trust me, it will only frustrate you if you don\u2019t upgrade. You\u2019ll come to a point where you will need to choose either PC or Mac. Mac, for some reason, is more common in the design field (personally I\u2019m not a fan of Macs because they don\u2019t satisfy my techy side and I find they lean too much towards being a media computer than a technical working computer). This is totally up to you and what you are most comfortable with using. The type of computer doesn\u2019t affect your design work.\nIf you have a techy friend, get them to build you a computer. Usually barebones PC kits are a fraction of the cost of a manufactured system (and like WAY cheaper than a Mac) and run better without all of that pre-installed crap on them. Dustin and I always build our computers, and it\u2019s easier than you may think. Like I said, if you don\u2019t know what you\u2019re doing ask a techy friend\u2026. a true techy friend would definitely know how to go about this and could also probably give you insight as to what you need (a great processor, space, and graphics card to name a few).\n5. Stock Up on Fonts\nOnce you\u2019re ready to begin, it\u2019s always good to have a bunch of fonts on hand. Head on over to a site like DaFont and take your pickings! Remember to adhere to the license terms which differ per font. You can also purchase fonts from sites like MyFonts, where designers sell fonts that they\u2019ve created. I\u2019ve also got a few hand written ones in my design shop.\n6. Learn Your Stuff\nI find the best way to learn Photoshop is to just start playing around with it. Create a new document and test out all of the tools. Import a photo and try to add some effects to it. Do a search on YouTube for a tutorial and follow it. Tip: Don\u2019t be lazy! It takes time to learn Photoshop and get to the point where you don\u2019t have to follow tutorials. Be patient and keep trying. I get a lot of emails asking about certain books to read to learn design and Photoshop, and to be honest I haven\u2019t ever read one. I\u2019m a hands on learner and found that by simply playing around with the program and reading online tutorials or watching videos is much easier for me. If you are someone who learns better by book, I will include a few highly rated books at the bottom of this post.\nYou can decide this either before you dive into the design world, or after you\u2019ve familiarized yourself with the programs and found your style. You will need to decide what type of designer you want to be. Web development, animation, multimedia, print\u2026? What appeals to you the most? Each area will have different skills you\u2019ll need to learn.\nI\u2019m a little bit on the fence about this one, because I never went to a post-secondary school for anything, so am a firm believer that if you have the drive, the ability to teach yourself, and the skills to back you up, you might not need to get a design or arts degree. However, if aren\u2019t too keen on going the DIY route, you might consider taking a course. Unfortunately, some employers are still stuck in the mindset that you need some sort of degree to qualify for an ARTS job despite your experience (some, not all), so if this worries you it is something to look into. Personally I made the decision long ago that I was going to be working for my own business anyway, so this didn\u2019t apply. A few years ago there was a company who wanted to hire me to do all of their design work, and during a telephone interview asked for my education and degrees. After telling them I had none, they gave the job to a fresh-out-of-college guy with a fancy schmancy degree, who hadn\u2019t done any work outside of school. I guess my many years of experience, hundreds of clients, successful business, and working knowledge that I used every single day didn\u2019t compare to a piece of paper in their eyes ;). Fortunately, that is not the kind of client I would want to work for anyways.\n9. Find Your Style And Keep At It\nAs you learn you will start to develop your own style. This could be what sets you apart from other designers. Keep trying new things and building your skills. A great way to learn how to do certain things is to try to redesign other styles or graphics. Recreating other people\u2019s designs in your own way (for educational purposes only) teaches you not only how to do certain things, but to develop your own style while doing it.\n10. Build a Portfolio\nA great way to build a portfolio is to create graphics for make-believe brands. Come up with a business name and try to design all of the marketing material for it. A portfolio can not only show others what you\u2019re abilities are, but it also helps you to constructively criticize your own work and make things better as you progress.\nThis was a long list, but hopefully of use to some of you.

        "title": "Album Review: James \u2013 \"Living in Extraordinary Times\" | The Young Folks",
        "raw_content": "Album Review: James \u2013 \u201cLiving in Extraordinary Times\u201d\nBeth Winchester August 19, 2018 0 0\nThe latest release from British pop band James, Living in Extraordinary Times, takes the band\u2019s familiar up-tempo, romantic spirit and mixes in a fair amount of grit and anxiety courtesy of life in 2018. The resulting sound is what I imagine would result if you froze a \u201890s Britpop band, woke them up in 2018, and immediately told them about the last two years. The album\u2019s songs are infused with anger, frustration, disillusionment, and sadness, but also have their share of hope, romance and idealism injected to keep the whole affair from dragging you down.\nThe album opener \u201cHank\u201d is a surprisingly, but appropriately, industrial-lite song, full of angry couplets about the current American president and the division he stokes. The sentiments and barbs here are nothing new (there is a reference to his \u201ctiny fingers\u201d), but it\u2019s always worth reminding people of this person\u2019s insidious and manipulative nature. \u201cWhy put your faith in facts when you can lie?\u201d singer Tim Booth asks, \u201cnow every possibility exists in everybody\u2019s mind,\u201d which is an efficiently haunting way to phrase the trouble wrought by the \u201cfake news\u201d phenomenon. The song ends with a vision of an \u201cempire\u201d only being able to prove it once existed by the size of its carbon footprint left behind, a scary possibility at this point. It\u2019s an ear-catching song, and certainly, one that you can enjoy for its catharsis, even if the heavy music on display is not what you expect from a James album.\nThe rest of the album does not ride such an intense wavelength, but each song does succeed in sustaining the energy of the album. Taken as a whole, Extraordinary Times is a bit too long to listen to at once, but individually each track renews itself with a specific energy and spirit that prevents the album from ever sagging under its own weight.\nJames has a lot to say about the state of the world right now\u2014specifically the upending of progress in both the U.S. and U.K.\u2014but the way they explore their reactions vary enough in interesting ways throughout most of the album without overwhelming. Every \u201c2018-relevant\u201d song is not an angry blast like \u201cHank,\u201d nor is it a weeper about how sad everything is. \u201cHeads\u201d starts with a stomping, vaguely militaristic beat that evolves into chaotic noise to reflect the hypocritical claimed greatness of America, complete with Booth singing a purposefully atonal \u201cland of the free\u201d with just enough bite in it. \u201cMany Faces\u201d is a slower, more romance-tinged song. But, rather than repeat the message of \u201cLeviathan,\u201d the closest thing to a pop love song on the album (but which still contains the lyric \u201cbefore they drop the bomb\u201d), \u201cMany Faces\u201d sings lovingly about the human race. \u201cThere\u2019s only one human race\u201d with many faces, Booth reminds us, \u201cbut we\u2019re all the same, [and] you got skin in the game.\u201d\nIt\u2019s that mix of frustration with people in power, and anguish over the trajectory we\u2019re riding now, that fills out this album and makes it one of the more relatable \u201creacting to 2018\u201d albums released recently. It\u2019s so relatable, that there is a track\u2014\u201cHow Hard the Day\u201d\u2014that is about surprising yourself with how angry and negative you can be, and are, as a result of steeping yourself in this divisive and negative culture (\u201crubbing your nose in the dirt,\u201d as the lyrics say).\nTowards the end of the album we move away from the unusual-but\u2014enjoyable industrial influences in the band\u2019s sound, and into songs that feel as though they\u2019ve had a couple grains of \u201890s club beats tossed into them. \u201cPicture of This Place\u201d and \u201cBetter Than That,\u201d in particular, feel as though if they were remixed just a bit they could sound like new Prodigy songs. \u201cHope to Sleep\u201d, on the other hand, reflects the other work of album producer Charlie Andrew with Alt-J. On this track, they create a sound that is reflective of modern English pop-rock bands, and it suits James surprisingly well.\nUltimately, this is an energetic, impassioned output from a band that does not nearly sound as \u201cold\u201d as you might expect them to on their 16th album release.\nAlbum Review: James - \"Living in Extraordinary Times\"\nTags 2018 music infectious music james living in extraordinary times\nNext ArticleInterview: Grayscale\nAlbum Review: Marianne Faithfull \u2013 \u201cNegative Capability\u201d\nAlbum Review: Cloud Nothings \u2013 \u201cLast Building Burning\u201d\nAlbum Review: Christine and the Queens \u2013 \u201cChris\u201d\nBeth Winchester September 27, 2018\nAlbum Review: Willie Nelson \u2013 \u201cMy Way\u201d\nAlbum Review: Waxahatchee \u2013 \u201cGreat Thunder\u201d\nAlbum Review: Anna Calvi \u2013 \u201cHunter\u201d\nBeth Winchester September 8, 2018",

        "title": "The Decemberists singer perseveres in Pittsburgh - Entertainment & Life - The Times - Beaver, PA",
        "raw_content": "The Decemberists singer perseveres in Pittsburgh\nPITTSBURGH \u2014 The Decemberists brought unintended drama to the Benedum Center stage Thursday. Fans couldn't help wondering: Would singer Colin Meloy make it through the whole show?\nFrom the opening number, \"Everything is Awful,\" you could tell Meloy was having vocal issues. He acknowledged his voice wasn't as strong as usual, but the show must go on, so he pledged he'd find a way to \"pull it out.\"\nAnd that's just what he did, limiting his normally witty banter but mustering enough gusto to deliver what turned out to be a fine and fun performance.\nOf course, it helped immensely that his indie-rock band, with its folky, quirky and literate lyrics, is an excellent group of multi-instrumentalists. Chris Funk shined on guitar, pedal steel and briefly on sax, while Jenny Conlee added all sorts of nice organ textures, as well as melodica, percussion and old-timey accordion on the raucous closing number, \"The Mariner's Revenge Song.\"\nNate Query on upright and regular bass might have been the standout, with drummer John Moen likewise finding a sturdy groove as the band powered through songs such as \"Sucker's Prayer,\" \"Cutting Stone\" and the briskly paced \"Calamity Song.\"\nDouble-fisting from a wine glass and a foam cup of presumably tea, honey and lemon, Meloy dug deeply and attained the necessary emotional heft on \"Starwatcher,\" \"The Rake's Song\" and \"We All Die Young.\" Every once in a while, he'd shake his head in frustration at the struggles to sing normally, though he didn't really sound that much different. An audience conspicuously more middle aged than those at the last three Pittsburgh concerts by the Decemberists \u2014 funny how that happens \u2014 rallied around Meloy and shouted encouragement.\nQuery tried to pick up the slack in bantering, though you could tell it wasn't his comfort zone, as he blurted out statements into his microphone. I think he said something about Pittsburgh being the new Portland (as in Oregon, which the Decemberists call home.)\nI was ready to leap on stage and tell that story Meloy usually does about the first time the Decemberists played Pittsburgh, at the Quiet Storm coffeehouse, when they slept on the couch and floor of the owner's home.\nThe Decemberists kept those cool indie grooves coming, on the new song \"Severed\" and \"Dracula's Daughter.\"\nSomehow, Meloy's voice held up, though you could tell from his facial expressions it wasn't easy, which brought even more relevance to the pre-encore pick \"Once in My Life\" with its opening verse \"For once in my life/Could just something go right?\" Meloy added a bit of the Smiths' \"Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want\" for good measure.\n\"Thank you for your patience and your tolerance,\" Meloy said as the band left the stage to commence its encore.\nAt least a couple of songs were cut from the setlist, though the 95-minute performance felt satisfying, especially with the band finishing with the interactive fan favorite \"The Mariner's Revenge Song.\" Reduced to a soft speaking voice Meloy compared to \"happy clouds\" painter Bob Ross, the Decemberists frontman instructed spectators on how it was their duty to scream in agony, as though they were being swallowed by a whale, when signaled by Funk at a particularly dramatic moment in the band's sea-faring epic. Partway through the song, two roadies in whaling costumes rushed through the audience to the front of the stage, to guide the strings of a large inflatable whale that flew above the crowd.\nSuch over-the-top silliness put a nice smiley face punctuation mark on a show hallmarked by perseverance.\nOpening act Eleanor Friedberger followed the St. Vincent path, standing alone on stage, singing and strumming an electric guitar, including one song with pre-recorded music. Many of her lyrics sounded stream-of-conscience, but then she'd sing something profound that snapped me back to attention. Realizing she had a few minutes left in her 30-minute set, she literally rehearsed \"Blueberry Boat,\" a song by her former band the Fiery Furnaces that she hasn't performed in many years. The song references Grand Rapids, Mich., and since that's Monday's tour stop, she wants to play it there. That was a cute couple of minutes seeing her try to remember how the song goes.",

        "raw_content": "The IRS posted Tax Reform Tax Tip 2018-182 concerning child tax credits. The Tax Tip provided the following information:\nThe new law increases the child tax credit from $1,000 to $2,000. Eligibility for the credit has not changed. As in past years, the credit applies if all of these apply:\nthe child is younger than 17 at the end of the tax year, December 31, 2018\nthe taxpayer claims the child as a dependent\nthe child lives with the taxpayer for at least six months of the year\nCredit refunds. The credit is refundable, now up to $1,400. If a taxpayer doesn\u2019t owe any tax before claiming the credit, they will receive up to $1,400 as part of their refund.\nEarned income threshold. The income threshold to claim the credit has been lowered to $2,500 per family. This means a family must earn a minimum of $2,500 to claim the credit.\nPhaseout. The income threshold at which the child tax credit begins to phase out is increased to $200,000, or $400,000 if married filing jointly. This means that more families with children younger than 17 qualify for the larger credit.\nDependents who can\u2019t be claimed for the child tax credit may still qualify the taxpayer for the credit for other dependents. This is a non-refundable credit of up to $500 per qualifying person. These dependents may also be dependent children who are age 17 or older at the end of 2018. It also includes parents or other qualifying relatives supported by the taxpayer.\nThe full Tax Reform Tax Tip can be read here.",

        "raw_content": "Review \u201cStart-up Nation: The Story of Israel\u2019s Economic Miracle\u201d\n\u201cStart-up Nation: The Story of Israel\u2019s Economic Miracle\u201d, released in 2009, was written by two American journalists: Dan Senor and Saul Singer. Dan Samuel Senor is a frequent contributor to Fox News and The Wall Street Journal, he worked as a chief spokesperson for the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq (2003-2004), Saul Singer served as an adviser in the United States Congress to the House Foreign Affairs and Senate Banking Committees. In the book \u201cStart-up Nation\u201d authors tried to find out the roots for uniqueness of Israel\u2019s entrepreneurial spirit that drives country\u2019s economy, to make it possible authors looked at the history of the state of Israel and society\u2019s customs and cultural characteristics.\nBefore taking readers to the main analysis of the economic miracle in Israel, at the beginning of the book authors describe what it is so unique in Jewish culture that make others not wonder when they learn that Israel leads in number of start-ups pro capita among the OECD countries? Why Jews are seen as smart and active? According to Den Senor and Saul Singer, it is because of nature of Judaism that can be described as a culture of challenging everything. Children raised in Judaism always ask questions to their teachers because it is normal to do so. With noting this distinctive feature of Jewish culture to challenge any authority authors continue further discussion about Israel\u2019s economy.\nAnother source for the distinct entrepreneurial spirit in Israel was the immigrant mentality of society. As we know, being mainly an immigrant society Israel continues to have most liberal immigrant policy in the world. According to authors of the book, first settler were from the beginning of their life in Israel risk-takers, they lived in a hostile environment. Not only Arabs created troubles to new comers, but also nature was adverse as well. First Israelis learned to survive in uneasy conditions that in turn contributed to the overall society\u2019s mentality.\nMoreover, if we look at the famous kibbutzim movement in Israel we will see how desperate these people were. There was a combination of collective and individual. People learned to live together for it was possibly the only way to survive. First Israelis learned to pursue their own goals and at the same time to contribute to the society\u2019s wealth.\nSince the begin of Israel\u2019s existence it was clear that army would become one of the cornerstones of Israeli society. Nowadays Israeli Army is the hard school of life for almost every Israeli. In army people learn how to be best in order to protect themselves and their brothers (and sisters) in arms. Israel Defence Force has created effective system of selection of the smartest soldiers who serve not only in regular troops but also in special divisions of army. Such experts are tasked to find best solutions for existing problems during conflicts. Acquired skills of thinking quickly and taking decisions under pressure help such people after army to become successful businessmen and found their own start-ups.\nIn addition, according to the book, connections made during a service help to navigate in business world. It is almost impossible to develop ideas or run a business if your don\u2019t have right friends, in Israel it is different, everyone knows everyone, that is why it is relatively easy to find right people that can contribute to your start-up or give help.\nAs a prove for successful experience of Israel\u2019s economy that is driven by mass creation of start-ups authors of the book name the strongly positive image of the country in the eyes of potential investors even during armed conflicts in the region. People are sure that Israel is secure enough to keep on functioning as an effective economy that is so attractive for western venture capital companies. More interesting question for readers would be whether it is possible to repeat Israel\u2019s experience and why despite many similarities such countries as Singapore and South Korea do not habe Israel like strong entrepreneurial spirit and do have as many start-ups as in Israel? The answer is the cultural code; it is due to specific cultural formula or mentality of people of Israel that drives Israel\u2019s economy.\nThe book \u201cStart-up Nation: The Story of Israel\u2019s Economic Miracle\u201d is an attempt to provide insight into what is the Israeli economics and what makes it so unique and successful despite all existing problems and threats, this book will be useful for those who is interested in economics and politics of the Middle East and particularly in Israel.\nLabels: Democracy, Israel, Zionism",

        "raw_content": "All Goodyear has to do is deliver\nGoodyear executives said all the right things to mollify dealers angry about the company\u00b4s inability to fill orders and supply the right tires last year.\nAt the tire maker\u00b4s recent dealer meeting in Las Vegas, they outlined a credible plan to refill the tire pipeline and regain dealers\u00b4 confidence.\nNow they\u00b4ve got to make good on their promises.\nBy admitting they had made mistakes that affected Goodyear\u00b4s ability to supply tires, its leadership took a huge step in restoring dealers\u00b4 faith and good will.\nTheir humility played well in the speeches they delivered.\nChairman Samir Gibara set the right tone in his address by humorously commenting that: \"After the disappointing way in which we made products available to you in 1999, I wouldn\u00b4t be surprised to walk up to this podium, look over the huge hall, and see only about a 50-percent fill rate.\"\nThat line drew the largest laugh and applause of the two-day conference. But it also showed he knew what was on dealers\u00b4 minds.\nMr. Gibara then went on to address the company\u00b4s other problems, such as its weak financial performance, declining stock price, removal from the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the poor execution of consolidation and rationalization programs.\nBut he rightly pointed out that Goodyear also had forged an important alliance with Sumitomo Rubber Industries Ltd. giving it control of the Dunlop brand in North America and Europe. The merger is expected to add $2.5 billion to Goodyear\u00b4s annual sales.\nHopefully, the end result, as he put it, will turn out to be \"a lot of short-term pain for long-term gain.\"\nTime will tell, of course.\nBill Sharp, president of the company\u00b4s North American Tire unit, also gave a detailed plan about how it will supply the extra tires needed to fill dealers\u00b4 orders. And he rededicated the company\u00b4s efforts to better serve its tire dealer customers.\nIt\u00b4s good to see Goodyear getting back to basics.\nAdmittedly, the company had a difficult year in 1999. But out of that turmoil may come positive changes.\nTire dealers at the recent dealer conference seemed ready to give their supplier the benefit of the doubt. But they\u00b4re also taking a wait-and-see attitude about whether the company follows through.\nGoodyear has a great opportunity to start the new millennium on better footing. But the tire company must get the right products in dealers hands when they need them. And it needs to listen to its customers and respond to their needs.\nIf Goodyear does these things, it will emerge from its recent travails a stronger company and better supplier.\nIf not, it won\u00b4t lay claim to the title of world\u00b4s largest tire maker for long.",

        "title": "A cautionary tale for employer providers | Training Journal",
        "raw_content": "Written by Jon Kennard on 29 June 2017 in Press Zone\nLouise Doyle, a further education consultant and director of quality assurance experts MESMA, has a cautionary tale for employer providers delivering apprenticeships under government funded arrangements, who only see self-assessment as a paper exercise.\nAs the Apprenticeship Levy comes into effect with changes in funding now in place, it\u2019s no surprise that the number of employer providers joining the register of apprenticeship training providers (ROATP) is on the rise. The process of registration allows employers, whose main business activities often sit outside of training and education, to deliver apprenticeships and draw down the associated levy payment.\nIt is likely there will be more to come as mounting numbers of employer providers step forward to deliver their own apprenticeship training. But of course, what follows are all the complexities of Ofsted requirement and government funding. New providers will not always be familiar with or prepared for these.\nOn the face of it, delivering apprenticeships makes commercial sense and seems like a sensible path for employers to follow. A mixed economy often emerges: if an organisation has the skills set in-house, they deliver the apprenticeships.\nWhere they don\u2019t - for example, in specialist roles such as those working in IT or accountancy departments - they secure the delivery with the assistance and support of external specialist apprenticeship providers.\nSo far; so good. However, this disguises a bigger picture. In our experience, what can come as a shock to the system for some employers is the quality assurance policies and processes required to deliver high quality apprenticeships which far outweigh the quality assurance requirements for short, sharp training interventions for in-house activity.\nMoreover, it is one thing to have the policies and processes in place - and tick that particular box - but it is quite another to ensure they\u2019re making a serious and positive impact.\nAnd of course, for so many the wrong time to find out such things aren\u2019t effective, is the day Ofsted pays a visit. In reviewing the 22 Ofsted inspection reports for employer providers that occurred between March 2016 and March 2017, it was evident that many needed to engage in self-assessment and improvement planning, while there were also cases of staff failing to identify accurately enough those areas where there was room for improvement.\nIn relation to quality assurance and more specifically, the robustness of self-assessment and improvement planning it was noticed that in nine cases, where the provider was judged as either requires improvement or inadequate, the Ofsted report makes explicit reference to the need to improve either the overall approach to quality assurance or more specifically self-assessment and improvement planning.\nAnd I quote\u2026\u201cLeaders and managers should increase the level of objectivity of quality review processes, and sharpen resultant action plans\u201d\n\u201cQuality assurance and quality improvement arrangements, including the observation of teaching and learning, have not resulted in sufficient improvements since the previous inspection.\u201d\n\u201cFurther develop the quality assurance arrangements to offer the programme manager and the assessors a clear understanding of the quality of teaching, learning and assessment experienced by apprentices and how this affects apprentices\u2019 progress.\u201d\n\u201cEstablish quickly a detailed and comprehensive action plan to rectify all areas for improvement identified in this inspection.\u201d\n\u201cLeaders and managers should conduct a thorough self-evaluation of the apprenticeship programme to ensure that they critically evaluate the strengths and areas for improvement, including the performance of sub-contractor.\u201d\nRobust quality assurance/ self-assessment featured in eight of the 13 reports for employers judged to be good or outstanding. In some cases it refers to self-assessment and quality improvement planning as a development requirement to move the provider from good to outstanding. All that being said, there is one judgment that sums up what is expected: \u201cThe self-assessment report is accurate and evaluative.\u201d\nThe analysis is clear and unequivocal: it confirms that regardless of Ofsted provision, moves to have a robust model of self-assessment and improvement planning in place, which is accurate, well structured, evidence rich and challenges people to strive for continuous improvement, can only be beneficial.\nMore at www.mesma.co.uk",

        "title": "PBS's 'Evolution' Series is Propaganda, Not Science",
        "raw_content": "PBS\u2019s \u2018Evolution\u2019 Series\nis Propaganda, not Science\nby Josh Gilder\n\u201cIt is absolutely safe to say that, if you meet somebody who claims not to believe in evolution, that person is ignorant, stupid or insane (or wicked, but I\u2019d rather not consider that).\u201d\n\ufffd Leading Darwinist Richard Dawkins\nThe wicked and insane will presumably have to fend for themselves, but for the rest of us, PBS has undertaken a massive new \u201ceducational\u201d project to promote the \u201cunderstanding of evolution.\u201d\nApparently there\u2019s a lot of misunderstanding out there, as tech billionaire Paul Allen has ponied up some $15 million for the project (PBS refuses to disclose exactly how much). The centerpiece is an eight-hour documentary series for the week of Sept. 24 through 27, but this is only the tip of the iceberg. Much of Allen\u2019s money is going into a national \u201coutreach\u201d program aimed at our public schools. Cadres of \u201cspecial teachers\u201d are being trained to prep school boards and biology teachers across the country on how to respond to skeptical students and parents. They will be aided by subsidized teaching materials, videos and a special interactive website devoted to clearing up any \u201cmisunderstandings\u201d the public might have.\nHaving sat through all eight hours of the evo-epic, however, I suspect the biggest problem is going to be keeping the students from lapsing into unconsciousness out of the sheer boredom of it all.\nExcept for a brief lesbian lovemaking scene in the segment about sexual reproduction, which no doubt the kids will be checking out for extra credit, \u201cEvolution\u201d flows more turgidly than the backwaters of the Amazon basin, meandering listlessly through its subject matter (much of which, it would seem, having little to do with evolution) before finally getting stuck in some stagnant pool of political correctness. (AIDS, feminism, homosexuality, the rain forests, and man\u2019s threat to species diversity, all get airtime.)\nHow on earth does one make evolution boring? Whatever one thinks of it as science, evolution has all the wonder and fascination of a modern day creation myth. And as anybody knows who\u2019s watched the Discovery Channel, with its seemingly infinite supply of wildlife footage of lions taking down gazelles and whatnot, evolution makes great television.\nSo what went wrong? One can only make an educated guess, but it seems that the evolutionists were blindsided by their own propaganda. It has become such an article of faith with them that any critique of evolution can only come from \u201ccreationists\u201d\u0097and is thus by definition unworthy of their attention\u0097that they were unaware of the growing body of evidence against Darwinism.\nLast October, however, U.C. Berkeley Ph.D. biologist Jonathan Wells published his groundbreaking \u201cIcons of Evolution.\u201d By that time, one assumes that most of the pre-production of \u201cEvolution\u201d was complete, including detailed scripts. Probably a fair amount of film was already in the can. And here comes a closely argued, thoroughly documented scientific critique, that basically blows their story out of the primordial soup.\nThe Darwinian story, after all, has remained relatively unchanged for generations. It\u2019s what most of us learned in biology class, and it\u2019s still taught much as we learned it. There\u2019s the Miller-Urey experiment that created the \u201cbuilding blocs\u201d of life in a test-tube. There are Haeckel\u2019s embryos showing that all vertebrates pass through almost identical stages in development (the source of the famous phrase, \u201contology recapitulates phylogeny\u201d). There are the bones of bird wings, horse legs and human hands that appear so similar as to prove common ancestry. There are the peppered moths, the finches\u2019 beaks, and the clear line of ascent in the fossil record from ape to human.\nAs evidence of Darwinian evolution it was, taken altogether, extremely convincing. It has indeed, convinced generations of lay and science students that Darwin, with some minor modifications, had it right.\nThe problem is that none of it is true, or is so fraught with inconsistencies, misinterpretation and bad (sometimes fraudulent) data as to be worthless as science. \u201cIcons of Evolution\u201d dismantles these \u201cproofs\u201d one by one. Miller and Urey never came close to creating \u201clife in a tube\u201d and recent discoveries about the true nature of Earth\u2019s early atmosphere make \u201cabiogenesis\u201d\u0097the creation of living organisms from non-organic chemicals\u0097more of a Chimera than ever. Haeckel\u2019s embryos turn out to be an outright forgery, a fact that was known even in Darwin\u2019s day, though they continue to appear in standard biology texts. Early vertebrate embryos, it turns out, are radically different in look, size and manner of development, and, despite what we\u2019re told over and over again, human embryos never, ever have \u201cgill slits,\u201d like little fishes.\n\u201cHomology\u201d\u0097the similar structures of some animals\u0097is as good a proof of design (more about that later) as it is of evolution and common descent, especially considering the frequent number of homologous structures that even evolutionists don\u2019t believe developed from a common ancestor (think of the \u201cduck-billed\u201d platypus). The peppered moths had to be glued to tree trunks\u0097where they rarely rest in nature\u0097for that experiment to yield the right (pro-evolutionary) result, and the finches\u2019 beaks, which did grow longer during droughts, reverted to their original size once the drought is over\u0097evidence not of evolution but its opposite, the extraordinary stability of species.\nOne can\u2019t blame the producers for not knowing this. Most evolutionary \u201cexperts\u201d were equally in the dark.\nWhile the problems with each specific \u201cproof\u201d of evolution might be known to people in that specialized discipline (moth experts, for instance), apparently none of them had bothered to share notes. Thus the college-level biology textbook edited by Bruce Alberts, president of the National Academy of sciences, to this day presents Haeckel\u2019s forged embryos as factual, and leading biologist and evo-enthusiast Jerry Coyne was shocked to only recently discover the truth about peppered moths.\nThe response of the Darwinist camp was largely to ignore Wells\u2019 scientific critique (there wasn\u2019t much they could say, after all) or offer only ad hominem attacks. Wells, they claimed, was religiously motivated. Why else would he publish such a book? None seemed particularly concerned that generations of students had been fed misinformation under the guise of science. A few of the textbook writers themselves averred that one had to \u201csimplify\u201d examples to help students\u2019 understanding, which is a bit like teaching them that the sun rotates around the earth because it\u2019s so much simpler to grasp. And then, many of these books were intended for college and post-graduate biology students.\nTheir final line of defense was that even if all of these proofs of evolution were wrong, it didn\u2019t matter, because there were so many other and better examples out there. The world was just full of them.\nWell, judging by eight hours of \u201cEvolution,\u201d apparently not. Clearly the producers had to scramble for material to fill their eight hours, which is why we have long digressions into what appear to be AIDS awareness seminars, great swatches of pre-packaged \u201csave our planet\u201d environmentalism, long speculations about sex from sociobiologists, and enough humping bonobo apes to warm Peter Singer\u2019s, well, cockles.\nThe rest is rife with error. The Discovery Institute, a non-profit founded by old Reagan-hand Bruce Chapman, and a center for Intelligent Design science (more about this in a moment), has published a 150-page critique of \u201cEvolution\u201d documenting its numerous factual errors, historical distortions, suppositions masquerading as scientific proof and wholly gratuitous condescension toward the religious beliefs of the vast majority of the American people. For those interested, the full \u201cEvolution\u201d errata can be accessed online. (For purposes of full disclosure, this author is also connected with Discovery Institute.)\nThere are too many errors in \u201cEvolution\u201d to itemize here, but let\u2019s examine what the producers clearly believe to be their strongest example: the development in bacteria of antibiotic resistance. If one wants to demonstrate evolution in action, as the producers claim, bacteria are certainly the best candidates. Some of these microbes reproduce several times an hour, producing thousands and thousands of generations within a single year. \u201cEvolution\u201d thus takes us into a tuberculosis-infested Russian jail, and sure enough, the little pests quickly develop resistance to each new drug the doctors introduce. Case closed.\nAll the producers have demonstrated is the quite unexceptional occurrence of what is called micro-evolution, the small changes within species that we see all around us. The most obvious example\u0097one Darwin himself used\u0097is dog breeding. The thousands of different types of dogs extant today were all created, probably from some common wild ancestor, by selective breeding.\nThe question is, can these relatively small changes within basic species types be extrapolated to macro-evolution\u0097big changes in body types, such as the evolution of birds from reptiles, say, or humans from apes. The fact is, nothing of the sort has ever been observed. Darwinists counter that when dealing with large animals\u0097even fruit flies \u0097there simply isn\u2019t enough time. The breeding cycles are too long. Fair enough. But what about bacteria?\nWith selective breeding, one should be able to produce new species within a reasonable time. Yet\u0097and this the producers don\u2019t tell us\u0097it has never been done. As British bacteriologist Alan H. Linton recently remarked, despite multitudes of experiments exposing bacteria to caustic acid baths and intense radiation in order to accelerate mutations, in the \u201c150 years of the science of bacteriology, there is no evidence that one species of bacteria has changed into another.\u201d\nThe producers of \u201cEvolution\u201d unwittingly give the game away when they remark that the bacteria clearly identifiable as the same as modern TB have been found on a 6,000-year-old Egyptian mummy. Like the Galapagos finch beaks, what we seem to be seeing here is not macro-evolutionary change, but the extraordinary stability of species.\nThe producers repeat much the same error in a long segment on the HIV virus, which ends with doctors taking their patients off the anti-viral drugs (which appear to do more harm than good) and\u0097voila!\u0097the HIV returns to its original \u201cwild-type.\u201d Once again, we have stasis, not evolution.\nOn other issues, \u201cEvolution\u201d mostly commits sins of omission (that is, omission of any evidence contrary to the simple story of Darwin\u2019s mechanism and \u201cchange over time\u201d which they hammer away at endlessly). The program glosses over problems with the fossil record and sidesteps the challenge of the \u201cCambrian Explosion,\u201d in which, in direct contradiction to Darwinian theory, all the major animal groups (phyla) of modern animals appeared in a geologic instant, with no plausible precursors. Searching for a more contemporary spin, the program misstates the universality of DNA as evidence of descent from a common ancestor, when important exceptions that undermine this hypothesis have been known for over 20 years. And on and on.\nBut of course, the 5,000 pound primate in the middle of the room that the Darwinists won\u2019t even mention is what has come to be known as the Intelligent Design movement, or ID for short. In eight hours, I caught only one glancing reference to Intelligent Design in the last episode, and even that was a mischaracterization. For this series, ID is the dog that didn\u2019t bark. And from a purely strategic point of view, they are right to ignore it, because once the theory of Intelligent Design is allowed into the debate, Darwin is destined to follow Freud and Marx onto the ash heap of history.\nAt this point, perhaps, we need to take a time out for some personal information. It is practically axiomatic among Darwinists that the only people who would question Darwinism are religiously motivated, Bible-thumping fundamentalists from out there in those strange red areas of the map. This is a point, indeed, that is endlessly reiterated in various forms throughout the eight hours of \u201cEvolution.\u201d Everyone else knows\u0097or in the words of Harvard biologist Ernst Mayr, \u201cevery educated person\u201d knows\u0097that Darwinian evolution is a \u201csimple fact.\u201d\nWell, for the record, evolution never offended my religious sensibilities. It seemed to me that if God wanted to create the natural world through a process of evolution, it wasn\u2019t my place to tell him no. And, in as much as being a conservative often means emphatically not knowing what \u201ceverybody knows\u201d\u0097that missile defense will never work, for example, or that Reagan\u2019s tax cuts produced \u201cthe worst economy ever\u201d\u0097I long took comfort that, when it came to evolution at least, I was right in line with elite opinion.\nThe trouble started, as it usually does, when I began to pay attention. In 1996, a molecular biologist at Lehigh University by the name of Michael Behe published a book entitled \u201cDarwin\u2019s Black Box\u201d that raised new and interesting theoretical objections to Darwinism. While the biological details were tough sledding for your average layman (e.g., me), the basic theoretical argument was not. Behe pointed out that the knowledge base in the fields of biochemistry and molecular biology has exploded in size over the last 50 years, leaving Darwinism decades behind on the learning curve. We now know that the cell, for instance, which Darwin thought to be barely more than a lump of protoplasm, is in fact a miracle of nanotechnology, a tiny factory full of miniature machines far more complex than anything human beings could design today.\nBehe\u2019s striking insight, however, was not simply that these biological systems are complex, but that they are what he calls irreducibly complex. Like many mechanical devices of our own invention, these biological machines are made up of many interlocking parts, each one of which has to be fully developed and integrated into the whole for the machine to function. If one part is taken away, or is not fully developed, the whole mechanism breaks down. For a biological organism, that means it confers zero added survival value.\nAnd there\u2019s the rub, because Darwinian evolution assumes that these biological machines developed gradually over millions of years by means of random variation and natural selection. (Even Darwinists agree that the chance of such an assemblage happening all at once in one \u201clucky accident\u201d is beyond the realm of possibility.) Imagine a car engine developing gradually, and one gets a sense of the difficulty here. You might have the engine block, but if you\u2019ve got to wait around another million years for the spark plugs or pistons, you\u2019re not going anywhere.\nThere have been many thoughtful critiques of Darwinism over the years, but what Behe had done here was raise a conceptual threshold that the Darwinists had to cross for their theory to retain even theoretical plausibility. Given the stakes, you might expect the Darwinists would be quick to come up with a counter-argument. You might, but five years later you\u2019d still be waiting.\nRichard Dawkins, of the above quotation, did give a revealing reply when asked about Behe\u2019s book on Ben Wattenberg\u2019s program \u201cThink Tank\u201d:\n\u201cI\u2019m not the best person equipped to think about it because I\u2019m not a biochemist. \ufffd I don\u2019t have that biochemical knowledge. Behe has. Behe should stop being lazy and should get up and think for himself about how the flagellum [one of Behe\u2019s examples] evolved. \ufffd\u201d\nIn other words, the truth\u0097Darwinian evolution\u0097is preordained and it\u2019s the scientists\u2019 job to only find the \u201cfacts\u201d that fit.\nSince that time Dawkins\u0097like the other famous popularizer of Darwin, Stephen Jay Gould\u0097has refused to debate Behe, choosing instead the Darwinists\u2019 preferred tactic: They accused him of religion. Both Gould and Dawkins have repeatedly called him a \u201ccreationist,\u201d which is as good as writing him out of the legitimate scientific community, and has the further benefit of making it unnecessary to actually answer his critique of Darwinism.\nBehe is indeed religious. He is a Roman Catholic\u0097as are many scientists who call themselves Darwinists\u0097but he was a Catholic through most of his scientific career when, like many of his colleagues, he unquestioningly accepted Darwinism. He\u2019s still a Catholic now that his scientific investigations have led him to reject standard evolutionary theory. Behe doesn\u2019t believe in a literalist interpretation of the Bible, accepts what modern geology tells us about the age of the earth, and even believes in some form of common descent. Hardly what most people mean by \u201ccreationist.\u201d\nWhat does carry uncomfortable religious connotations for avowed atheists like Gould and Dawkins, however, is the scientific outgrowth of Behe\u2019s insights, namely the theory of Intelligent Design. This theory simply says that if these biological systems couldn\u2019t have developed through purely natural processes, but had to be assembled all at one time (something, as noted above, that chance is simply incapable of doing) then there is a high probability that they were designed. And our experience of the world tells us, every designed artifact must have an intelligence behind it doing the designing.\nWho or what that intelligence is obviously has far reaching philosophical implications, but has little to do with the science of Intelligent Design itself, which is silent of the identity of the designer. It might be the Judeo-Christian God, it might be Shiva, it might be some alien intelligence (not so silly as it sounds: Francis Crick, co-discoverer of DNA believes that life was seeded on this planet from outer space) or it might be what physicist Paul Davies speculates is some, as yet undiscovered, \u201cemergent\u201d property in matter itself. (Neither Crick nor Davies are followers of ID, but their problems with Darwinian explanations of life are emblematic of how shaky Darwinian theory actually is.) Intelligent Design scientists themselves cover the range of religious belief and unbelief.\nWhat the theory does say is that design is an empirically testable hypothesis, and in the past several years, a growing body of scientists\u0097 in fields as diverse as biology, genetics, mathematics, physics, cosmology and even computer science\u0097has adopted the theory as a fruitful line of investigation.\nInterestingly, the mathematicians, physicists and cosmologists have always been more open to such ideas. As the great astronomer Fred Hoyle once said, \u201cthere are so many odd coincidences essential to life that some explanation seems required to account for them.\u201d Nobel prize laureate Arno Penzias said these coincidences suggested a \u201csupernatural plan.\u201d Biology, and the study of how living organisms, including man, came into being, strikes closer to home, however, and this is where the real battleground is today.\nWhich brings us back to PBS\u2019s epic \u201cEvolution\u201d series and the urgency they feel to\u0097as stated in an internal PBS memorandum\u0097\u201cco-opt [the] existing local dialogue about teaching evolution in schools\u201d with a massive marketing campaign (including \u201cviral\u201d and \u201cguerilla\u201d marketing) aimed at \u201cniche audiences,\u201d particularly \u201ceducators\u201d and \u201cpublic officials.\u201d\nIn the past, the courts have been their best allies, ruling \u201ccreation science\u201d unfit for public schools because of its religious taint. ID, however, is a different animal altogether, and no matter how often they conflate it with \u201ccreationism\u201d they won\u2019t be able to beat it back with the \u201cseparation of church and state\u201d stick forever. Even the New York Times and Los Angeles Times have run front-page articles on Intelligent Design, acknowledging it as a real scientific endeavor.\nBut not PBS.\nPBS claims there was no stonewall. The producers say that they contacted the Discovery Institute\u0097a center of much of the ID movement\u0097 and invited its scientists to participate. Indeed the producers did, but only in the last segment, \u201cWhat About God,\u201d and only to give their personal testaments of faith. In as much as ID is a scientific movement, and not a religious one, the scientists declined. It was an especially wise decision, since the producer of the \u201cWhat About God?\u201d episode, Bill Jersey, was well known for a 1992 documentary on religious fundamentalism that more or less equated American evangelicals with Muslim terrorists in the Mideast. As it turns out, Mr. Jersey\u2019s contribution to \u201cEvolution\u201d was very much in character, a condescending and offensive look at antievolution fundamentalists and their beliefs.\nAt a recent PBS press conference I asked the overall series producer, Richard Hutton, why Intelligent Design\u2019s scientific critique of evolution was completely ignored. He answered that he\u2019d looked into it and decided there was nothing there. That\u2019s one way to decide important scientific disputes\u0097let a TV producer decide.\nAs it happens, one of the leading ID theorists is University of Chicago-trained mathematician and probability theorist Bill Dembski. He\u2019s got multiple Ph.D.s, has published work in the prestigious Cambridge University press and has done postdoctoral work at Cornell, M.I.T., Chicago and Princeton. He is highly regarded in his field for the contributions he\u2019s made to the rather arcane field of probability theory. In November he will be publishing a book, \u201cNo Free Lunch,\u201d which applies his theoretic insights to Darwinian evolution. Already, he\u2019s got enough enthusiastic blurbs from top scientists to cover several book jackets, but one, from leading Darwinist Michael Ruse, is particularly applicable. Even \u201cthose of us who do not accept his conclusions,\u201d Ruse writes, \u201cshould read this book. \ufffd He should not be ignored.\u201d\nThat, of course, is the voice of someone whose first passion is science \u0097the search for true knowledge, wherever it may lead. But for PBS, science is clearly beside the point. It doesn\u2019t matter with propaganda if your facts are wrong. With 15 or so million dollars of Paul Allen\u2019s money, and a free-ride on America\u2019s public airwaves, not to mention the publicly-funded infrastructure of PBS stations and affiliates, no doubt the producers of this series will, for a time at least, \u201cco-opt\u201d the dialogue on evolution. But only for a time. In science, where there is still some respect for facts after all, the truth does have a way of coming out in the end.\nJosh Gilder was a Reagan speechwriter and is the former editor of the American Spectator.",

I mean, when I was in high school, I paid for it all the time; I didn't have (any) trouble. It was kind of hard going up to the cash register.\"\nAs they rush to complete the legislative session and get back out on the campaign trail, state lawmakers are advancing a variety of bills designed to advance a conservative agenda while Republicans still hold a two-thirds majority in both houses of the Legislature.\nThe Arizona Senate was on the verge of passing a bill to further restrict abortion rights, which have been so curtailed in recent years that abortions\u2014even via medication rather than surgery\u2014are no longer available in Arizona outside of Maricopa and Pima counties.\nHouse Bill 2036 would not allow abortions after 20 weeks, except in case of emergency, and establish new guidelines for what information women must receive before obtaining an abortion\u2014including a state-approved slideshow of fetal development. The bill, which was on the verge of passing the Senate as of press time, will need to return to the House of Representatives, as it is a striker amendment to a bill that originally involved contingency fees for private attorneys.\nA second bill involving women's health passed the Senate Rules Committee on Monday, March 26, with a recommendation for a floor amendment. HB 2625, sponsored by Rep. Debbie Lesko, would allow any employer in the state to opt out of providing contraception coverage as part of health insurance if the employer has a moral objection to preventing pregnancy.\nState Sen. Frank Antenori, who is running in the April 17 GOP primary in the special election to replace Gabrielle Giffords in Congressional District 8, said last week that he would support HB 2625 if it came up for a vote.\n\"Do you force someone against their will to provide something that they morally or religiously object to? That is a tough call, and that is what this battle is all about,\" Antenori said. \"Like I told another lady who was upset about it, I said, 'What makes you think you're entitled to have someone else paying for it?' Nobody is stopping you from going out and getting contraceptives. I mean, when I was in high school, I paid for it all the time; I didn't have (any) trouble. It was kind of hard going up to the cash register.\"\nBut state Rep. Bruce Wheeler called the bill \"insanity\" and part of a Republican \"war on women.\"\n\"It's taking us back 50 years against the advances made for all of us\u2014for women, women's health care, privacy rights, and the right to not have government intrude in our private lives,\" said Wheeler, a Democrat.\nAnother bill, HB 2800, would ban any funds from the federal government that pass through the state\u2014such as Medicare funding\u2014to go to Planned Parenthood for cancer screenings, birth control and other health-care related services provided by the nonprofit organization's clinics.\nThat bill passed the House of Representatives on March 5 and cleared the Senate Healthcare and Medical Liability Reform Committee on March 14. It was awaiting a hearing in the Senate Rules Committee as of press time.\nA similar bill recently cost Texas $34 million in federal aid for a program to help low-income women, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal.\n\u2022 SB 1495, which would require anyone who has been laid off to pass a drug test before they could receive unemployment benefits, passed the Senate Appropriations Committee on Thursday, March 22. Critics of the bill warn that it might violate federal law and result in a big tax hike for businesses.\n\u2022 House Concurrent Resolution 2043, which would ask voters to approve a proposition on the November ballot to require future ballot propositions on the state or local level that increase taxes to pass with 60 percent of the vote, is awaiting a hearing by the Senate Rules Committee.\nAntenori said he supports the proposal, which would apply to local bonding and school overrides, as well as tax increases. He said that too many things are loaded into bond packages under the current system.\n\"By the time you're done (assembling a bond package), instead of getting a road, you've got roads, bike paths, coyote corridors, dog parks, art, (state Rep. Steve) Farley's tiles, all this crap to build a road,\" Antenori said. \"The voters will vote for something if they feel there's a good enough reason to vote for it.\"\nAntenori cited the example of the Vail School District. He voted in favor of an override there for the schools, although he concedes that it would have failed if the 60 percent requirement had been in place.\n\"They would have had to have done a harder marketing job, I guess,\" Antenori said.\nWheeler said that the 60 percent margin would result in a minority controlling the outcome of ballot propositions. He pointed out that some proposals that get the support of the business community\u2014such as the Regional Transportation Authority's half-cent sales tax that is funding new roads, more buses and a modern streetcar that will link the university to downtown\u2014would have failed if it had needed the approval of 60 percent of voters.\n\"The business community and other communities rely on bonding to get things done and build things, and if we're going to have a 60 percent approval mandate, the RTA would have never passed,\" Wheeler said. \"Nothing would ever pass.\"\nTags: Currents Feature, frank antenori, arizona legislature, arizona reproductive health\nMore by Hank Stephenson\nCounty officials worried Rosemont Mine pushing to weaken water regulations\nby Hank Stephenson\nThe GOP primary between Pima County Supervisor Ray Carroll and Sean Collins is the nastiest race of the season \u2026 What the congressional campaign-finance reports mean \u2026 a state Senate candidate calls for the lynching of President Obama \u2026 and more!\nby Jim Nintzel and Hank Stephenson\nThe MOCA Book Club looks at the intersection of art, politics and media",

        "raw_content": "Muddy Waters In 20 Songs\nTwenty of the best Muddy Waters songs: legendary cuts from the blues legend who helped launch Chess Records and inspired The Rolling Stones.\nFor many, he was the greatest bluesman ever to growl into the mic. His authority was absolute. Whether his easy wry smile was crossing his avuncular face, or he was barking tough warnings in deadly earnest, he knew how good he was. Bands far richer than him stole his music, copied his style, even named themselves after his songs. But he remained proud, strong and fiercely individual\u2026 We\u2019re talking about Muddy Waters \u2013 who else? And the best Muddy Waters songs are an essential introduction to the electric blues and proto-rock\u2019n\u2019roll\nMcKinley Morganfield was born on 4 April 1913, 1914 or 1915 in Mississippi (poor black folk in the US south often didn\u2019t adhere to the rules of registering births because society didn\u2019t care if they lived or died). His mother died young and he was raised by his grandmother, who was amused by her grandson\u2019s inclination to muck around in muddy water; she called the toddler Muddy. He was fascinated by music and began playing guitar and harmonica in his teens, modelling himself on Robert Johnson and Son House when he sang at parties. The kid got good, learning the tricks that he\u2019d deploy time and time again in the best Muddy Waters songs.\nThough he wasn\u2019t missing, Muddy was \u201cfound\u201d in Stovall, Mississippi, by blues and folk historian Alan Lomax. He sang 18 songs into Lomax\u2019s tape recorder in 1941 and 1942; Lomax called them field recordings, but they were done right there in Muddy\u2019s shack. Muddy was shocked when he realised how good he sounded: he\u2019d never heard himself sing before. In 1943 he moved north to Chicago and played in clubs, but the city crowd was so noisy that Muddy had to get an electric guitar. Three years later, the record companies were sniffing around and Muddy signed with Aristocrat; two years after that, in 1948, he hit with \u201bI Can\u2019t Be Satisfied\u2019.\nThough still one of the best Muddy Waters songs, \u201chit\u201d may not be quite the right word. In post-war America, bluesmen didn\u2019t have pop \u201chits\u201d. They had their own chart (for which, read: \u201cghetto\u201d) in which \u201crace records\u201d could compete. Muddy made No.11 in this listing, a decent showing for an unknown guy releasing his first single for a newish label. \u2018I Can\u2019t Be Satisfied\u2019 was a great record; it churns along with plenty of the \u201crythm accompaniment\u201d (sic) the label promised, though it was only Mud and his slide guitar, plus the slapping bass of Ernest \u201cBig\u201d Crawford. It\u2019s a raw, unfinished Muddy, but he\u2019s got personality aplenty, sells the song, and the voice is all his own. The thing that comes across most is his sheer confidence: this is a man who knows what he\u2019s doing. On the flip is another landmark: \u2018I Feel Like Going Home\u2019. It\u2019s easy to regard this as simply a personal lament, but Muddy was representing a generation of black southerners who took the train to Chicago or Detroit in search of a better life in the city but still yearned for Southern ways. The song gave a title to the brilliant critic Peter Guralnick\u2019s first book about music, Feel Like Going Home, published in 1971.\nBy the start of 1950, Muddy\u2019s game was even tighter. He\u2019d recorded \u201bRollin\u2019 And Tumblin\u2019\u2019 with Baby Face Leroy for the Parkway label in January, angering Aristocrat, who insisted he recut it for them weeks later. The song dates from the 1920s, and everyone from Robert Johnson to Cream have covered it; while Elmore James\u2019 version ran Muddy\u2019s version close, Waters put the definitive stamp on this rollicking tale of booze and broads. He hollered the song with glee, though regret lurks in the lyrics: \u201cI coulda had religion/This bad old thing instead.\u201d It\u2019s almost ridiculous that his next single, his first on the fledgling Chess label (and the second on the label overall), was another record which had a lengthy afterlife: \u201bRollin\u2019 Stone\u2019 earns it place among the best Muddy Waters songs, thanks in part to having inspired a little-known band of similar name. The tune is also known as \u2018Catfish Blues\u2019 and was the one of the first songs Muddy learned to play.\nMuddy didn\u2019t hang around gathering moss: he had hit his stride now and certainly wasn\u2019t green. At the end of 1950, he began a run of five straight Top 10 R&B chart hits, the biggest of which was \u201bLong Distance Call\u2019, which found him in the company of harmonica star Little Walter (Muddy would play guitar on Walter\u2019s best-known instrumental, \u2018Juke\u2019). Muddy was profoundly a city dweller now, singing of Cadillacs and phones, but the country in him showed through in the line \u201cAnother mule kickin\u2019 in your stall\u201d.\nMuddy hit a further hot streak in 1954, cutting another classic in \u201bI\u2019m Your Hoochie Coochie Man\u2019, written by Willie Dixon, who was fast establishing himself as Chess\u2019 chief songwriter. The song has ancient roots: the Southern black mysticism known as \u201choodoo\u201d features when a gypsy delivers a prophesy about the contents of his pregnant mother\u2019s bump. \u201cHoochie coochie\u201d was an unambiguously sexual term: Mud was a lover, make no mistake. Everyone from Jimi Hendrix to Jimmy Smith has since covered the song.\nMud\u2019s next two singles were also articled blues classics that rank among the best Muddy Waters songs: \u201bJust Make Love To Me\u2019 (better known as \u2018I Just Want To Make Love To You\u2019) and \u201bI\u2019m Ready\u2019 were gutsy statements of the male libido from the pen of Willie Dixon. Both triggered cover versions galore, but Muddy\u2019s premieres of the songs were definitive. By now he was recording with a band that was as good as Chicago could muster, including Little Walter, pianist Otis Spann, Dixon on bass, Jimmy Rogers on guitar and Fred Below on drums. They played it hard, loud and tight. When Muddy toured the UK in 1958, in the original \u201cJudas\u201d moment, fans were shocked to see him rocking with an electric guitar. This was not folk blues. It might have started that way, but he\u2019d have starved in Chicago if he had played the clubs with an acoustic.\n1955 witnessed a further Muddy classic in \u201bMannish Boy\u2019, an answer to Bo Diddley\u2019s \u2018I\u2019m A Man\u2019 and as much a gem as its inspiration. At last Muddy would have a genuine pop chart entry to his name \u2013 No.51 in the UK (though unfortunately that was in 1988, 33 years after he released it). Bo Diddley presumably didn\u2019t mind Muddy\u2019s witty scorn: he took a writing credit and publishing royalties.\nIn 1956, Mud returned to hoodoo with \u201bGot My Mojo Working\u2019, a tune that inspired the names of bands, magazines and four-for-a-penny chews too. A staple of every wannabe show-off blues musician since, it\u2019s easy to forget that Muddy is mocking himself on a song first recorded by Ann Cole.\n\u201bYou Shook Me\u2019 found the bluesman taking the unusual step of singing lyrics written by Willie Dixon and JB Lenoir over someone else\u2019s record: the instrumental \u2018Blue Guitar\u2019 by Earl Hooker. Released in 1962, Muddy\u2019s version was paired with \u201bMuddy Waters Twist\u2019, the latter a sign that Chess was unsure what to do with its blues acts in the early 60s. The record didn\u2019t chart, and neither did Muddy\u2019s next release, the mighty \u201bYou Need Love\u2019, another amendment to an Earl Hooker instrumental. However, both had an amazing afterlife: \u2018You Shook Me\u2019 was covered by The Jeff Beck Group and Led Zeppelin, and the latter also covered \u201bYou Need Love\u2019 (as \u2018Whole Lotta Love\u2019) after Small Faces had provided a blueprint with their recording. Later, CCS\u2019s version of the song became the best-remembered theme for British TV show Top Of The Pops.\nThe blues had a revival driven by British bands in the mid-60s, and while all namechecked Muddy, he was unlikely to be screamed at by teenage girls, as The Rolling Stones were. But Muddy made some great singles in the middle of the decade: \u201bMy Dog Can\u2019t Bark\u2019 was fierce, fast and rocking; \u201bPut Me In Your Lay Away\u2019 found him in a very modern world. Muddy was booked at colleges and on the nascent festival circuit, but the mega sales enjoyed by bands often playing little more than watered-down versions of the best Muddy Waters songs eluded him.\nChess decided that what was sauce for the goose was sauce for the bluesman, and in 1968 they put Muddy in the studio with psychedelic soul band Rotary Connection, ace guitarist Phil Upchurch, and adventurous producers Charles Stepney and Marshall Chess. The resulting album, Electric Mud, stretched Muddy\u2019s sound to breaking point but, heard today, its opening salvo, a reworked version version of one of the best Muddy Waters songs, \u201bI Just Want To Make Love To You\u2019, is a remarkable and powerful piece of funky blues-rock that gets where its going in its own time. In a weird kind of payback, Muddy also took on the Stones\u2019 \u201bLet\u2019s Spend The Night Together\u2019 amid a wash of Cream-like pyschedelics. Despite a critical panning, the album sold 150,000 copies in the first six weeks of its release. Muddy made further excursions into contemporary rock with After The Rain and Fathers And Sons, the latter so-called because it featured the new generation of blues players, including The Paul Butterfield Blues Band. In 1972, The London Muddy Waters Sessions teamed him with Steve Winwood, Mitch Mitchell and Rory Gallagher, and featured \u201bKey To The Highway\u2019, which Muddy had first cut in 1958 with Little Walter.\nIn 1975, Chess ceased to function as a recording company and Muddy found himself without a label. Two years later, he signed to Blue Sky and cut Hard Again with producer-guitarist Johnny Winter. A long-time fan of the older man, who had been inspired by the best Muddy Waters songs, Winter decided an outbreak of taste was in order and made a straightforward, utterly Muddy Waters album. Mud thrived in this situation, making it clear where the music he heard around him had come from on \u201bThe Blues Had A Baby And They Named It Rock And Roll Pt 2\u2019. Muddy was now revered for being himself, and through to his final album, 1981\u2019s King Bee, he was in top form; they\u2019d made him twist and go psychedelic, but, as the closing track made clear, there was \u201bNo Escape From The Blues\u2019 for Muddy Waters.\nBuy the career-spanning 2CD Muddy Waters collection Can\u2019t Be Satisfied: The Very Best Of here.\nRelated Topics:...In 20 SongsAmerican Roots MusicBluesBo DiddleyCreamHomepage FeaturedJimi HendrixJohnny WinterMuddy WatersOn This DaySteve WinwoodThe Rolling Stones\nI like the best frend\nStew Kupperman\ni had the awesome fortune of meeting muddy, and hanging out with him in his dressing room when he played in boston back in 1975 or so. he is my all-time favorite musician.\nit was like being in the company of royalty!\ni just was in chicago for the first time last week\u2026\u2026and my first stop in the city was to go see the muddy mural that is downtown. so happy to see him get some of the recognition he so deserved!\n\u2018Cooleyhighharmony\u2019 And The \u201cHip-Hop Doo-Wop\u201d Brilliance Of Boyz II Men\nOver & Out From Creedence Clearwater Revival",

        "raw_content": "249 - 06/02 - Online Sugar Fraud - Worldwide\nThe International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) has recently issued a warning about an internet-based fraud concerning non-existent cargoes of sugar, which could cost the sugar industry millions of dollars.\nInvestigations by the ICC\u2019s crime fighting arm \u2013 Commercial Crime Services (CCS) \u2013 have found an increase over the last few months of fraudulent contracts for sugar cargoes. These contracts bear similarities to a rash of cases in the mid 1990s \u2013 except they have now moved online.\nCCS officials say that some websites are using \u201csupermarket tactics\u201d to advertise cargoes of sugar that may not actually exist, urging buyers to \u201cSAVE! SAVE! SAVE!\u201d\nCCS advises that the contracts being offered contain a number of suspicious features that highlight the questionable nature of the transaction. These are all warning signs seen in the mid 1990s. The following should alert traders to the possibility of a fraudulent transaction:\nPrices that are significantly lower than the industry standard;\nReferences to Grade A sugar, which does not exist;\nReferences to the colour of the sugar as sparkling white, which is not an industry term;\nMisspelling of references to ICUMSA \u2013 the International Commission for Uniform Methods of Sugar Analysis. This often appears as INCUMSA;\nRepeated references to Top or Prime world banks \u2013 these phrases have no specific meaning;\nReferences to ICC Provisions of Non-Circumvention and Non-Disclosure. The ICC has never published rules with this title;\nA reference to the funds in the buyer\u2019s account to be good, clean, cleared, unencumbered and legally earned or obtained and of non-criminal origin - is a phrase that no bank would use as it could not validate such a statement;\nMany incorrect references to the ICC, for example The parties do hereby accept the international provision of \u201cForce Majeure\u201d as published by the ICC, Paris, France and is defined by ICC Rules Uniform Customs Practice. The reference in incorrect \u2013 the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, commonly known as UCP 500, governs Letters of Credit, not Force Majeure.\nICC states that a good way to avoid becoming a victim is to be familiar with the terms and conditions of legitimate sugar contracts. Where this is not possible, traders should consider having all documents and offers checked by CCS prior to entering into a deal.\nThere are reliable websites available for sugar transactions \u2013 the International Sugar Organisation (ISO) affiliated www.sugaronline.com being just one of them. It is reported that this organisation has 61 member countries representing 79% of world sugar production and 91% of world exports.\nFor further information see the ICC website: http://www.iccwbo.org/home/news_archives/2002/sugar_fraud.asp",

        "raw_content": "Donald Trump, Politics, And Hollywood\u2013American Excess And Cultural Exceptionalism At Its Very Best\nThe French are serious people. A few years ago the most popular program on television was called Apostrophes, an hour-long prime-time talk show on books, authors, and literature. It ran for fifteen years on France 2, a major network, and had a loyal, devoted audience. This was no Oprah Winfrey chat show, but an intellectual program which assumed the intelligence of its viewers and compromised nothing in the way of rigorous literary analysis. Discussions ranged from religion and philosophy to fiction and history.\nImagine an Apostrophes on American network television. Impossible. The closest thing is C-Span\u2019s Book TV with a viewership barely breaking 1000 on a network whose average viewership at any one time is just over 13,000. The show, far from the intensive, debate-style roundtable format of Apostrophes, is easygoing with as much attention given to the authors\u2019 biography and interests as to the content of the books.\nFrench intellectuals have always been national heroes. Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, Albert Camus, Jacques Derrida, and modern thinkers have never been relegated to the back pages. The publication of a new book is always an event, well-covered by the press and given fair but demanding analysis.\nwww.hankeringforhistory.com\nEducated French have always had an understanding of and appreciation for history. Critical reviews will always begin with references to the relevant past, and frame current arguments within the context of the social, economic, and philosophical context of history. It was not uncommon in the days before pluralism for the working class to be versed on French history, art, literature, and culture. Not all of the millions of viewers of Apostrophes taught at the Sorbonne.\nHistory, art, culture, literature, and political science have always been part and parcel of the French patrimony. One of the reasons why it is hard for older, conservative French to embrace the \u2018new\u2019 multicultural France is because the country has always been the self-anointed caretaker and guardian of European Christian culture. Every schoolchild knows La Chanson de Roland, the heroic story of Roland and Charlemagne holding off the Saracen hordes and keeping Europe Christian.\nUntil World War II and the geopolitical rise of the United States, French was the language of diplomacy and culture; and while some quarter had always been given to German philosophers, it had been done so begrudgingly. France had always claimed the particular brilliance of thinkers like Descartes, Montaigne, Voltaire, and Montesquieu; and scientists like Pascal, Curie, and Foucault.\nThe point is not to lionize France\u2019s intellectual achievements. The most important early Christian theologians like Origen, Augustine, and Clement were from Africa; and others from Palestine and Asia Minor. The Muslim world in the first centuries after Mohammed was responsible for remarkable discoveries in astronomy and mathematics. Indian philosophy and theology, among the most complex and sophisticated of all religions, originated in the Subcontinent over five-thousand years ago. Greece, Rome, and Persia contributed as much as any culture to human thought.\nJust as many Indians can recite the Vedas and verses from the Upanishads; have an intimacy with their mythological, religious, and cultural history; and have incorporate the principles of ancient Hinduism into their daily lives; so the French in a somewhat more limited but equally significant way, internalized intellectual thought.\nNo one would argue that workers on the scaffold have the same analytical acuity as \u00c9narques or philosophers at the University of Paris; but they have a sense of the importance of intellectual, academic thought, in culture. Nor should the cultural diversity that now characterizes France be minimized. New immigrants, especially non-Christian minorities, have increasingly chosen separatism rather than inclusion into the secular French state. This trend will necessarily weaken French citizens\u2019 ties to and valuation of their Christian past.\nNevertheless, France has always been the most intellectual country on earth, and until the legacy of Versailles, 1989, Chartres, and Roncesvalles have been totally forgotten, France is still a nation of thinkers.\nWithin certain corners of the United States, so is America. Our intellectuals have the New York Review of Books. Conversations in the salons of Washington and New York still range as widely as any Frenchman on theology, history, and political science; but intellectualism is not the hallmark of America. In fact, the reverse is very much true. American politicians do their best to keep their discourse simple, their conversations country, and their references popular.\nGeorge W. Bush, a graduate of Yale and Harvard Law School understood that his patrician Ivy League background would get him nowhere in populist, grass-roots, down-home America, and he was careful to hide his elite intellectual roots. John F. Kennedy was the closest thing we had to an intellectual in power; but his popularity rested more on his charm, his wife\u2019s beauty, his sexual allure, and his open house to artists. Camelot was beyond the reach of most Americans, but the Kennedys\u2019 Hollywood version was just fine.\nMany Europeans \u2013 especially the French \u2013 are absolutely incredulous at the American spectacle of a Presidential election. Even without Donald Trump, the election cycle would be viewed as a circus, an every-four-year vaudeville show, a rough-and-tumble free-for-all where personality, persona, and image are far more important than ideas of substance. Of course American politicians discuss \u2018the issues\u2019, but they are less intellectually solid, historically vetted, and thoughtful conclusive arguments than showmanship.\nNo savvy American observer feels any such surprise. We know that Hollywood, vaudeville, snake-oil salesmen, circus acts, revival tents, and bare-knuckled prize fights characterize us perfectly. Donald Trump is simply the most outlandish expression of American culture. He is loud, outsized, intemperate, supremely confident, and a win-some-lose-some, a-sucker-is-born-every-minute American genius.\nThe liberal, \u2018progressive\u2019 Left is the only place in American society where people don\u2019t get it. Their assumption is that only the logical, thoughtful, on-the-one-hand-on-the-other analysis is right. They dismiss the Bible-based, evangelical, Pentecostal tradition of the Southern and rural Midwestern United States as ignorant, backward, and downright dumb. There is no room for a charismatic Jesus in Unitarian Universalist Church. No room for climate denying, gun-owning, good ol\u2019 boys. No space for individualists, preppers, or multiculturalism skeptics.\nFor the rest of us, America is a great country \u2013 unique, very exceptional, and exciting. We are culturally exceptional, not politically so. Our Hollywood populism is not simply another different cultural expression from that of Old Europe. It is fundamentally, structurally different. Braggadocio, ambition, individualism, and down-home, music-and-dancing religion are what define us so completely that looked at with some perspective, we are about as different from France as Jupiter is from Mercury.\nFor the time being, America\u2019s sun has not yet set; and our culture will continue to spread for a while longer. Eventually it will set; and some other cultural paradigm will rise in its place. Islamic fundamentalism, perhaps; or a European cultural mongrel, finally capitulating to demography and economic pressure, and accepting all comers regardless of race, religion, or attitude.\nWhile America is still an exceptional place, Europeans should enjoy the show. Admission is free, and the ride unlike any other. Journalists at Le Monde, France\u2019s intellectual journal of record, write about race, gender, and ethnicity almost as much as we do. However, their articles put race within the context of ancient and modern history and analyze slavery for what it was \u2013 a universal component of both primitive societies and advanced empires. Gender is a function of feminism; and Le Monde intellectual contributors weigh in less on rights and more on female legitimacy. Scholarly treatises on Shakespeare\u2019s strong women, the plays of Ibsen and Strindberg and the feminist resurgence in the 19th century, and the socio-political dimension of court and courtyard are common.\nIn America race, gender, and ethnicity are vaudeville acts. Individualism, ambition, and get-mine entitlement produce hysteria on the stump, riots in the streets, and endless melodrama on television. American exceptionalism indeed includes guns, violence, and a social free-for-all. For all the think-tank position papers on income inequality, tax reform, and the distribution of wealth, most people could care less. Demonstrations against the One Percent and Wall Street were carnivals \u2013 all show and no tell; all gyrations and fireworks with no substantive thought to speak of.\nFor a number of years, the liberal \u2018progressive\u2019 Left has succeeded in shutting down many circus tents. The second Wild West has been shuttered. Political Correctness has clotured debate, forced nasty opinions underground, and frustrated tens of millions of Americans.\nAlong comes Donald Trump and the flaps to the Big Top are open again. Lion-tamers, clowns, fat ladies, babies with two heads, and corpses that come to life. Circuses are performances on the cultural edge. There is nothing tame or temperate inside the tent. Anything goes. Circuses are closing down \u2013 too much animal abuse, too much insensitivity for the freaky, short, hairy and ugly. Too bad, because every country needs this kind of uninhibited spectacle.\nCircuses may be shutting down; so thank God for Donald Trump. No sanctimony, political correctness, insincerity, or lily-livered toadying. He is a three-ring circus, a one-man vaudeville show, so enjoy it!",

        "raw_content": "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jeyenge\nA Romantic Romp from England to India\nAs one of Bollywood\u2019s classic romances, fans of Indian cinema are likely familiar with Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, commonly abbreviated as DDLJ. To those who are new to the genre, this film is an excellent place to start. As the directorial debut of Aditya Chopra, son of the renowned Yash Chopra, and produced under the Yash Raj Films studio banner, DDLJ brings all the strengths of that Chopra family together in one of the most iconic romances of the era.\nAside from stunning settings that range from sunny England, to snowy Switzerland, and then to the picturesque mustard fields of India, the film also boasts great costume design, smooth cinematography, excellent scripting, and an outstanding soundtrack. Of course, with the music produced by the duo Jatin-Lalit, and performed by singers including the legendary Lata Mangeshkar, Udit Narayan, and Kumar Sanu, you can count on it being an auditory treat.\nThe supporting cast in this film also helps propel it to greatness. With Amrish Puri portraying Simran\u2019s stubborn, conservative, ultra traditional father, and Anupam Kher in the role of Raj\u2019s liberal, laid back father\u2014Kher and Khan make a delightful father-son screen pairing\u2014the family dynamics are believable, realistic, and you\u2019ll probably want to give Puri\u2019s character a good shake before the film is done. Farida Jalal is excellent in her role as Simran\u2019s mother, Lajjo, while Pooja Ruparel proves delightful in the role of Chutki, Simran\u2019s little sister. Among the other supporting characters that shine, Mandira Bedi played the role of Preeti excellently and was lovely in her limited appearances.\nOne of DDLJ\u2019s greatest strengths, and certainly something it is known for, is the masterful way the story juxtaposes traditional Indian cultural values (largely quite patriarchal and conservative in nature) with the more liberal, romantic ideals of the modern / western world. It is a film that tackles some hard issues, which were contentious at the time and remain so in many places today, including arranged marriages, loyalty to one\u2019s parents, and the pursuit of individuality, personal freedom, and true happiness.\nBest of all, DDLJ manages to address its subject matter in a way that doesn\u2019t bludgeon the audience over the head with a mandatory set of morals. Over the course of its 3:09 runtime, viewers can sympathize with the plight of Simran\u2019s father, cringe at some of Raj\u2019s over-the-top antics, and ultimately fall in love with these characters like millions of people already have.",

This results in the Web address for the Department of Philosophy, for example, of \"http://www.uoguelph.ca/philosophy.\" This will continue to be the standard format for recognized University of Guelph units.

        "raw_content": "Home|News|PlayStation 4|Xbox One\nNintendo, Sony Update Their Warranty Following Warning From the FTC\nThe FTC threatened \"legal action\" if the warranties weren't made compliant to FTC rules.\nNintendo and Sony have announced that they have updated the terms of warranty for PlayStation and Nintendo hardware systems following a warning from the Federal Trade Commission over problematic, and maybe even illegal, language in their warranties.\nIt was revealed that the FTC gave Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft, along with three other companies, warnings about some of their warranty practices. The FTC issued 30 days to comply with the FTC's recommended changes or face \"legal action.\"\nPS4 consoles were found to include problematic language in their warranties.\nNow, both Nintendo and Sony have changed the language found in their warranties to better comply with the FTC. Starting with Nintendo, the company issued the following statement:\n\"Nintendo builds high quality products, while also striving to exceed expectations when supporting our customers. We continuously review and refine our support policies to ensure they embody that commitment. As part of that effort, we have updated our warranty text to clarify that Nintendo provides warranty service for defects not caused by the user or by other unauthorized acts. Revised warranty terms can be found at support.nintendo.com.\"\nNintendo's warranty previously said: \"This warranty shall not apply if this product: (a) is used with products not sold or licensed by Nintendo (Including but not limited to, non-licensed game enhancement and copier devices, adapters, software, and power supplies.\"\nThe updated language now reads: \"This warranty shall not apply if this product has been damaged by products not sold or licensed by Nintendo (Including, but not limited to, adapters, software, and power supplies).\"\nSony has similarly made changes to its own warranty. Like changes made to Nintendo's warranty, Sony's updated language now specifies that its warranty does not apply \"to damage caused by\" use of unlicensed products or products not supplied by Sony Interactive Entertainment.\nSony also changed language that suggested the removal of certain stickers that warned customers that warranties would be voided if those stickers were removed. Sony now says that its warranty does not apply \"to damage caused by\" opening its hardware products, or damage caused by service performed by someone other than Sony Interactive Entertainment, or \"SIE-authorized service provider.\"\nMicrosoft was also issued a warning.\nThe FTC warned the three game companies as a result of finding them at risk of violating the 1975 Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act which made it so that no manufacturer charting more than $5 for a product could place restrictions on the repairer of the device. Something the language in Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft's warranty could potentially violate.\nWe reached out to Microsoft for comment about its own warranty, but the company declined to comment at the time.\nTagged with Microsoft,\tNews,\tNintendo,\tNintendo Switch,\tPlayStation 4,\tSony,\tXbox One.",

Beyond the grade, we need to add notes that get specific on what needs to be worked on. Once we have our progress report, then we can design our practice routine to help our improvement. This is called self-evaluation, something a lot of us are already doing.\nOur students need help in this area, too. While they might perform self-evaluations, their judgment can be biased a bit.

This meant that deductibles, co-pays and any other payment would not be charged. However, not every organization will be forced to comply with the new rules, as some religious organizations will be able to opt out of such options. The program will take effect on August 1.\nHHS secretary Kathleen Sebelius said in the release that \"This decision was made after very careful consideration, including the important concerns some have raised about religious liberty. I believe this proposal strikes the appropriate balance between respecting religious freedom and increasing access to important preventive services.\"\nFor consumers who are not sure if their health insurance plan covers what they need, it may be smart to compare health insurance quotes.",

        "raw_content": "Taylor Swift May Be Dating an English Indie Rocker\nby Frazer Harrison/Getty Images for Coachella (left); by Jason Merritt/Getty Images for MTV (right).\nWe can\u2019t help but feel we are somehow playing right into the cycle Taylor Swift has complained about\u2014and mocked in winking fashion on recent songs like \u201cShake It Off\u201d and \u201cBlank Space\u201d\u2014where she is romantically linked to any famous man who so much as sends an emoji-laden tweet in her direction. But, in the particular case of Matt Healy, front man for English indie-rock sensation the 1975, it appears that where there is Swiftian smoke (which smells of cat hair and woodland musk), there may be Swifitian fire.\n\u2014This all started (we feel like we\u2019re whispering into our friend\u2019s ear in the high-school cafeteria at lunch right now, which is making us feel very nostalgic) when the 25-year-old London-born Healy wore a 1989 T-shirt during one of his concerts a few weeks ago.\n\u2014 Swift then became aware of said T-shirt-wearing, gleefully reblogging a photograph of Healy and noting that the 1975 are \u201cher favorite band though\u201d and adding an exclamatory \u201c#what.\u201d\n\u2014 Then, two weeks ago, the situation escalated, as Swift attended a 1975 show with one of her many BFFs, Selena Gomez, posting a video from backstage during the concert. A few days later, she was photographed wearing a 1975 shirt. It was on.\n\u2014 Now, up until this point, we could just assume that maybe the pair were simply fans of each other\u2019s work, nothing more. But last week, Healy, queried by Shazam Top 20, spoke about Swift, and it was clear that something is going on here. \u201cI met Taylor Swift, that was really nice,\u201d he said. \u201cWe exchanged numbers. Let\u2019s see what happens.\u201d He went on, \u201cI mean what am I going to do? Go out with Taylor Swift? She\u2019s a sensation. I wouldn\u2019t say no.\u201d WHOA. This is as standing-outside-your-house-with-a-boombox as celeb flirting gets.\n\u2014 What was Swift\u2019s next move? Did she send a \u201chey there\u201d text, feeling out the waters? Did she decide to patiently wait, keeping her distance, heading to the studio to work out some of these feelings before meeting Karlie for frozen yogurt? Or did she decide to go see another 1975 show?! O.K., we didn\u2019t construct this paragraph very well because technically she could have done either of the first two and we wouldn\u2019t even know, but\u2014but!\u2014we do know she did the third one. Yes, Swift attended another of the band\u2019s concerts last night, this one along with Victoria\u2019s Secret models Martha Hunt and Lily Aldridge. (Side note: you know you\u2019re doing pretty well in life when you can bring two Victoria\u2019s Secret angels as wingmen with absolutely no threat they will detract from the attention being on you.)\nSo that is all the evidence we have right now! You may now draw your own conclusions. We would like to close, though, with pointing out that Healy was, like Swift, born in 1989, which you just know elates her.",

        "title": "20 Home Renovations That Will Hurt Your Home\u2019s Value",
        "raw_content": "Home\u203aHome Improvement\u203a20 Home Renovations That Will Hurt Your Home\u2019s Value\nWith time, most homes rise in value. However, this is not always the case. A homeowner may neglect their home so much that it starts to look of lesser value. In such a case, most home selling blogs will advise owners to make improvements to their property. However, not all of these innovations will raise the value of a home. At times, they may cause the home to lose a significant amount of value. In addition, some people renovate their home so that it may suit their personal interests. However, one needs to be careful when doing these renovations. Some may end up doing irreparable damage to the value of the home.\n1. Excessive Use of Wallpaper\nWallpaper is a nice way to get one\u2019s favorite patterns in the home. However, this choice can be extreme at times. In addition, getting rid of wallpaper is quite a challenge. It requires that one invests a lot of their time and money to get rid of it. When a buyer moves into the home, they want it to have their patterns and texture. As a result, they will tend to shun a home that has wallpaper all over.\nIn case one is planning to sell the home, it would be a god idea to get rid of mush of the wallpaper. In addition, one should do their best to ensure the home is painted in neutral colors. A fresh coat of paint helps to convince buyers more easily than a home that has decorations.\n2. Using Texture on the Ceilings and Walls\nTexture presents the same problem as wallpaper. It is important to note that not all people would like texture in their homes. As a result, they will dread the thought of having to get rid of it once they buy. As a result, one may have to lower their offer to convince them to buy. Instead of using textured painting, one should instead think about textured d\u00e9cor. It costs less to get rid of, and it does not affect the value of the home.\n3. Too Many Lighting Fixtures\nWhen people start to make home improvements, the first place they turn to is the lighting fixtures. However, this can be a problem when one is trying to sell the home. People tend to get all these ideas when they visit a lighting store. They want to include everything they think looks trendy. Therein is the problem. Lighting fixtures tend to go out of fashion quite fast.\nMost people will, as a result, have lighting fixtures that do not match anything else in their house. The result is that what looks fashionable to the homeowner looks like a mess to the buyer. When one is trying to sell the home, it would be a great idea to switch the fixtures to something modern. It will make it easier to get a higher price for the home.\n4. Excessive Carpeting\nA recent study shows that people will pay more for bare floors. The reason for this is that carpets tend to wear out quite fast. In addition, they stain quite easily. Another reason is that carpeting comes down to personal choice. No matter how good one thinks carpeting will look, another person will have a different idea as to what they prefer.\n5. Outlandish Tiling\nThis point comes down to personalizing the home too much. Most people want to install their tiling in the home. While this is understandable, being too eccentric with the patterns can lower the home\u2019s value. Most buyers will notice this distraction and avoid buying the home. For them, it looks like work, and they will have to spend money to get rid of it. To prevent this problem, one should install white tiles. After that, one can place their favorite rug one the floor.\n6. Using Shouting Colors\nNot all people like bright colors on their home. Some buyers have no eye for art. As a result, they might view the colors as a distraction. It is important to choose neutral and modern colors to get the home a better value. It offers the new buyer an opportunity to remodel it in a style that is personalized to them.\n7. Spending too Much On The Kitchen\nMost studies show that people tend to spend the most on remodeling their kitchen. However, kitchens have little returns. For one, any fixtures and designs installed will go out of fashion in less than two years. As a result, a kitchen will lose almost fifty percent of its value upon remodeling. It is a god idea not to spend too much on any home improvement project. A good return on investment would be one that focuses on areas that seem to be too out of date only. Expensive high-end options offer the least returns.\n8. Upgrading the Bathroom\nA modest upgrade to the bathroom will increase the home\u2019s value. However, some home buyers can get carried away. As a result, they end up with less return on investments. In addition, some buyers may not prefer the fancy upgrades one makes to their bathroom.\n9. Converting a Room Into an Office\nModern technology allows many people to work from home. However, some people might do too much when creating an office at home. It will create problems when one tries to sell the home in future. For one, it is important to avoid making any permanent alterations to the room. Anything installed there should be easy to remove and restore the room to its former state.\n10. Merging Rooms\nA common mistake homeowners make; breaking down walls to create larger rooms. However, it is important to remember that not all families are the same. While the spare bedroom may look like unused space, it might be important to a larger family. It may be the deciding factor in whether they purchase the home. There are many other ways to make a room look bigger like smart lighting.\n11. Knocking Down the Closets\nSome people will knock down a closet to create office space or for other purposes. However, this is a major inconvenience for new buyers. Most of them will notice that there are no closets in the home.\n12. Adding An Aquarium\nAn aquarium, especially one that is built into the home, looks fancy. However, it also creates problems for the new owner. For one, it can be quite costly to maintain. If one has to have a fish tank, they should go for a standard one.\n13. Installing a Sun Room\nA sunroom creates a nice relaxation space for the homeowner. However, it is a disaster financially. A modern sunroom costs about $75,000. On resale, it will have lost about a half of this value.\n14. Built-In Electronics\nAn electronics system is great for people who like movies. However, if the electronics take up too much space in a room, this will put off some buyers. In addition, technology evolves fast, which means the electronics might be worthless during resale.\n15. Installing a Hot Tub\nIt presents a problem for people with kids. They will view it as taking up valuable space for their family. In addition, they may see it as a hazard. The other problem is that getting rid of it is quite costly. As a result, most people shun such a home. If they buy it, they offer less money. Install a portable hot tub instead.\nA popular myth is that swimming pools raise the value of a home greatly. However, this is not the case. The most they add to the home is about seven percent. This value is lower in areas with less than six months of hot weather.\n17. Too Much Landscaping\nWhile landscaping is visually appealing, it does little for the home\u2019s value. What one see as beauty, looks like a cost in the eyes of the buyer. For one, they will have to spend countless hours trimming or hire someone to do it. In addition, the beauty it adds to the home is subjective.\n18. Converting the Garage\nMost parents will tend to convert the garage into a bedroom when their son moves back home. In addition, some homeowners may turn their garage into a gym. It will lower the home value during ale. For one, most new home buyers want their home to have a garage. More than seventy percent of buyers will not buy a home without a garage unless the price is significantly knocked down.\n19. Messy Trees\nTrees are good for any home; in addition, they tend to add beauty to the home. However, some species can be a disaster. They tend to fill the yard with leaves or dead flowers each season. Look for a tree that does not shed heavily during fall.\n20. DIY Improvements\nSome homeowners will try to reduce cost by doing projects themselves. However, a buyer with a keen eye can tell shady work. The extra cost of hiring a professional to conduct repairs will be worth it. It raises the home\u2019s value.\nThe main point is that any personalization will lower the value of the home. While it is great to live in a personalized environment, too much can be quite costly. One needs to weigh their luxury versus the value of the home.",

        "raw_content": "Helpful tips for child support modification\nby VBMMP / October 9, 2015 / Child Support\nTexas parents who have undergone divorce know how challenging it can be. Sometimes, it can prove immensely difficult to juggle work life and custody visits and child support payments. In some cases, a parent\u2019s work life will alter, making the juggling act incredibly challenging, if not impossible. These parents often need to seek a child support modification so that they are not financially ruined by the change in their life situation.\nOne of the most important things for parents who find themselves in this situation is to act quickly. Acting quickly will prevent unpaid amounts piling up. Any arrears will not be able to be discharged in bankruptcy and it is not possible to reduce them retroactively. By acting quickly, Texas parents can ensure that they do not get stuck with debts they cannot pay.\nNext, it can be helpful to try to work it out with the other parent. If this does not work, then gathering as much documentation as possible can be a helpful next step. In order to acquire a child support modification, a significant life change will need to be demonstrated. This can be done by proving that the parent now earns significantly less money or that the parent is actively seeking employment but is unable to succeed in securing a job.\nLastly, it can be immensely helpful to seek out legal aid during this process. Child support modification can be a hugely challenging undertaken. However, it is not one that parents have to undergo alone. With an attorney at their side, parents can make sure that every necessary step is taken. By doing so, a parent can rest easy, knowing that they will not be financially devastated by their change in circumstance.\nSource: FindLaw, \u201cChild Support Modification Tips,\u201d Accessed on Oct. 6, 2015\nPrevious Post: \u00ab What is community property in relation to divorce?\nNext Post: How is child support enforced? \u00bb",

        "raw_content": "Store manager Kevin Mak moves Seattle Seahawks' shirts to an overhead display as he makes room for apparel for other local sports teams at a shop across from the Seahawks' stadium Tuesday\nDays later, fans struggle with Seahawks\u2019 Super Bowl loss\nDays later, fans find it still tough coming to grips with sudden Seahawks' loss in Super Bowl\nBy Gene Johnson, The Associated Press\nSEATTLE \u2013 As shocking as it was, the Seattle Seahawks\u2019 last-minute loss to the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl Sunday was probably not even the worst loss in the city\u2019s sports history.\nSeattle did lose an entire NBA franchise, after all, when the SuperSonics up and moved to Oklahoma City. At least the Seahawks will be playing again next season.\nBut the grief, anger and bewilderment felt by many Seahawks fans nevertheless shows only mild signs of abating, even days later. Many say they\u2019re certain the decision to pass from the 1-yard line \u2013 instead of handing off to bruising running back Marshawn Lynch \u2013 will forever haunt the Northwest the way previous sporting gaffes defined other cities.\n\u201cI\u2019ll be 90 years old and still thinking about this game,\u201d said Norb Caoili, a longtime season-ticket holder from Renton. \u201cThe history of sports is defined by moments like this, where heroes rise and save the day, or where teams collapse on the biggest stages. It\u2019s always going to be a part of the fabric of Seattle, and that\u2019s tough to swallow.\u201d\nCaoili, 45, is the force behind Norb-Cam, a YouTube channel that features videos of himself \u2013 wearing a green wig, Seahawks headband, and blue-and-green face paint \u2013 reacting to the action during Seahawks games. The videos have been viewed an improbable number of times, making him a prominent voice among Hawks fans.\nFor him, the way the Seahawks lost is what makes it so tough: Moments earlier, the team seemed on the brink of a miraculous victory, with receiver Jermaine Kearse making an inconceivable, bobbling, falling catch despite great coverage from Patriots rookie Malcolm Butler. It was a gift from the football gods, \u201cdivine intervention\u201d that signalled a certain Seahawks victory, he said.\nLynch\u2019s subsequent run, bringing the ball to the 1 with the clock ticking down, only fortified that impression.\nCaoili\u2019s video from the Super Bowl \u2013 tickets $2,700 apiece, airfare and lodging $1,400 \u2013 shows him chanting a mantra for Lynch to get the ball: \u201cGive it to him again, give it to him again, give it to him again.\u201d\nThe decision to pass, then, becomes not just \u201cthe worst play call I\u2019ve seen in the history of football,\u201d as Hall of Fame running back Emmitt Smith described it, but an affront to the gods, a sort of cardinal sin punished by instant karma: Butler\u2019s goal-line interception, and New England\u2019s fourth championship of the Tom Brady-Bill Belichick era.\nIt was an epic failure, on par with the ground ball through Bill Buckner\u2019s legs that helped sink the 1986 Red Sox or the \u201cwide right\u201d field goal attempt in 1991 that proved to be the first of four consecutive Super Bowl losses for the Buffalo Bills.\n\u201cEmotionally, it would have been better to lose 43-8,\u201d Caoili said, referring to the score by which the Seahawks beat Denver in last year\u2019s Super Bowl. \u201cThere\u2019s nothing worse than having it in your hand and losing it all.\u201d\nCaoili and other fans said that even if the loss sticks with the team, and the region, a few more Super Bowl championships could take the edge off. Odds-makers have Seattle 5-to-1 favourites to win it all next year. In the Seattle suburb of Renton, where the Seahawks are headquartered, fans left balloons and signs for the team in a memorial thanking them for a great season. \u201cWe still believe,\u201d said one.\nVu Le, a 33-year-old Vietnamese immigrant who runs a Seattle non-profit, knew nothing about professional sports when he started cheering for the Seahawks during the team\u2019s Super Bowl run last year. On his blog, he tried to draw lessons from the loss for the non-profit world, spelling out what he called Seattle\u2019s \u201cstages of grief\u201d: \u201cDenial, Righteous Anger, Hot Yoga, Organic Juice Cleanse, Bargaining at a Farmer\u2019s Market, Composting, Existential Despair, Biking to Happy Hour, and Acceptance . of Marijuana.\u201d\nLe said Tuesday he doesn\u2019t regret getting on the Seahawks bandwagon.\n\u201cWhen you care about something, you risk getting your heart just squished,\u201d he said. \u201cBut when they win, like last year, it was amazing.\u201d\nKris Brannon, a local superfan best known as \u201cSonics Guy,\u201d has been wearing his green-and-gold and his impressive afro to events around the Northwest in the years since the team became the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2008. He put the Super Bowl loss in perspective.\n\u201cI wish the Sonics had a chance to lose a championship,\u201d he said.\nDorey collects Mammoth crown",

        "title": "Every Flat in a New South London Development Has Been Sold to Foreign Investors - VICE",
        "raw_content": "Every Flat in a New South London Development Has Been Sold to Foreign Investors\nWhen the Heygate Estate was demolished there were promises of social housing and a \"community feel\", but it's all fallen through.\n(Top photo: An artist's impression of the development replacing the Heygate Estate)\nWhen Elephant and Castle's Heygate Estate was eventually torn down in 2014, many tenants were forcibly evicted from their homes, given compensation at less than 40 percent of the market value. In its place, Londoners were promised a shiny new development that would provide affordable, accessible homes for key workers desperate to get on the property ladder.\nAs the first properties hit the market, a report claims that 100 percent of those sold so far have gone to offshore foreign investors.\nHeygate, while a home for 3,000 Londoners, also had a bad reputation. Watch any London-based gangster film or \"urban drama\" from the 2000s \u2013 be it Harry Brown or Attack the Block \u2013 and there's a high chance you'll spot a scene filmed at the Heygate.\nEventually, Southwark Council decided it would tear the estate down and start again. In 2002, the council \u2013 which sold the land for just \u00a350 million, yet spent almost as much on forcing through the development itself \u2013 announced that the new site of around 2,530 homes would host 500 social housing units. Yet by the time successful bidder, Lendlease, unveiled its final plans, just 82 were put aside for the people they'd turfed out.\nWATCH: What It Costs to Live in London\nAs the remaining home owners clung on until 2013, Southwark Council cut off heating and switched off the lifts, leaving tenants \u2013 council tax payers \u2013 stranded. Those residents who owned their own properties were served compulsory purchase notices for insultingly low sums. At that time, a local one bed flat could be bought for \u00a3300,000, yet Southwark Council offered just \u00a380,000 for Orho Okorodudu's Heygate flat. Another resident, Adrian Glasspool, a teacher, was offered \u00a3225,000 for his three-bed ground-floor maisonette. The equivalent on the new estate would set him back \u00a31 million. He said, \"Lendlease is estimated to make a \u00a3200 million profit from the expropriation of our homes. We have literally been sold out by our own council.\"\nTerry Redpath, a former Southwark housing officer, lived on the estate for nearly 50 years. He told a BBC documentary at the time, \"I have been forced to give up my home to accommodate the building of homes for overseas investors.\"\nFour years on, Mr Redpath has been proven right.\nAfter the demolition dust had settled \u2013 figuratively and literally \u2013 the first development built and sold on the Heygate Estate was the \"South Gardens\" complex. Lendlease sold this particular facet of the development as the heartbeat of the whole project. Not just flats or apartments for busy professionals \u2013 the South Gardens units were to be homes for families who would provide the hub of the new development's \"community feel\", part of the whole reason why Southwark council sold to Lendlease in the first place. According to Lendlease's own brochure, \"South Gardens is the first and most family-oriented part of the scheme with 360 homes including townhouses and three and four bed homes.\"\nThese family homes were put on the market to UK buyers in November of 2016, with prices starting at \u00a3550,000. You can imagine the London-based families queuing up to buy affordable homes and create the kind of memories the original Heygate residents shared for many decades. Only, way ahead of them in the queue \u2013 two years ahead, in fact \u2013 was the international market.\nThe Heygate Estate as it was in 2009. Photo: London SE1 Community, via\nSales of these properties began in Singapore on the 11th April 2014, with flash brochures and slick marketing conferences. Not a single unit was for sale in London at this time. Lendlease don't even seek to hide the fact they are selling investment opportunities, not homes, as they list exactly how much rental income \u2013 around \u00a325,000 a year for the cheapest \u2013 foreign investors can cream off without ever touching the front door.\nTransparency International, a not-for-profit organisation which exposes global corruption, state in their 2017 report \"Faulty Towers\" that the number of South Gardens units sold abroad is 51 out of 51 properties, as per Land Registry documents.\nJerry Flynn first moved to Heygate in 1974 and is one of a group of residents who track the progress of the new Elephant Park development and every broken promise or u-turn on the 35Percent blog. \"Heygate was an ordinary south London housing estate \u2013 it gathered this reputation of notoriety, but that was only right at the end,\" he said. \"We're angry that the replacement housing never materialised and Southwark council never have had much intention of it appearing. Lendlease can sell off abroad and get ready to cash in at an early point in the development, and that helps them deliver more affordable housing. I'd accept that if we were getting a high amount of affordable housing or social housing in return, but that's not the case.\"\nAccording to Land Registry searches, many properties have been bought \u2013 three at a time \u2013 by international investors, exclusively using the same solicitor, Riseam Sharples, who appear to have been given exclusive use for all sales. From their own website, Riseam Sharples help offshore buyers purchase \"off-plan properties in the course of construction including multi-unit acquisitions and the sale of contracts prior to completion\u2026 with many of our clients based offshore\".\nNot only are all of the buyers of the new South Gardens foreign investors; from the 51 bought so far, many appear to be offshore \u2013 untraceable and untaxable. Every single one of the 51 purchases made is listed as \"care of 2 Tower Street, WC2H 9NP\". Helpfully, that's Riseam Sharples' office address.\nNot only does this betray the idea of a \"community feel\" \u2013 an investor surely can't live in multiple properties at once \u2013 but also betrays those who were forcibly evicted, many of whom actually owned the bricks and mortar they lived in.\n\"People get bored of arguing and stop caring how much affordable housing is being built or who makes the profit out of it.\"\nThis also drives up prices everywhere else, says a spokesperson for Transparency International: \"The London property market has become so overheated that even overseas investors from high corruption jurisdictions like China and Russia, who have typically bought in prime London, are turning their attention to more affordable areas to invest\u2026 contributing to the ripple effect as demand outside of prime London intensifies price increases.\"\nResearch by the Greater London Authority shows anything from 49,000 to 62,000 new homes need to be created each year in London just to keep up with demand. Lendlease no doubt form a part of that. But these homes need to be built for people to live in, not used as a cash deposit box for offshore buyers.\nIn a statement, Southwark council Cllr Mark Williams, cabinet member for regeneration, said, \"All homes sold by Lendlease help pay for the affordable homes. It is not within the council's interest to manage regeneration schemes which do not offer the best deal for residents \u2013 everything we do is for the benefit of residents. As well as this scheme, the council, alongside its regeneration partner, Lendlease, is creating new parks, leisure facilities, employment opportunities and new homes of all tenures of extremely high quality across Elephant and Castle.\"\nRecord numbers of people in their thirties have left London in the past three years and key workers are unable to live in London due to property prices. A 2016 survey of the Metropolitan Police found that over half of police officers didn't live in London, the main reason for this being affordability. The same applies to nurses, teachers, paramedics and anyone else who is stuck in a rental trap.\nThe Heygate fight is over. But Southwark council are currently trying to force home owners from the neighbouring 2,700 home Aylesbury Estate, again offering derisory amounts for London properties in the way of compensation. Southwark council paid one leaseholder on the Aylesbury estate \u00a375,000 for a large one-bedroom flat, and just \u00a3147,500 for a four-bedroom maisonette. At the time, the average house price was \u00a3402,000.\nSajid David, the secretary of state for communities and local government, has put a temporary ban on these compulsory purchases, citing concern about how Southwark council was treating home owners. However, the government still wishes to develop around 100 estates in this way, and it is a matter of when, not if, the bulldozers come in.\nIn fact, this slow, dirty war against home owners is exactly what developers want, says Heygate campaigner Jerry Flynn: \"If you'd said to Heygate residents way back in 2001 the new development would have nearly zero social housing, the cheapest unit would cost \u00a3400,000 and would be mostly sold overseas, they just wouldn't have believed you. But these sagas are an integral part of the redevelopment process because people get tired and, eventually, despite how awful it is, they accept whatever they are offered. People get bored of arguing and stop caring how much affordable housing is being built or who makes the profit out of it.\"\nLendlease, Southwark council and Riseam Sharples were contacted multiple times for comment and did not respond.\n@Andyjoneswrites\nUPDATE 13/04/17: After publication Southwark council responded to our request for comment, and their response has been added to the article.",

        "title": "The Victims of Cameroon's Horrific Breast Ironing Tradition - VICE",
        "raw_content": "\"Having breasts was shameful. My grandmother noticed mine when I was 10. One night, she made me lie down on a bamboo bed by the fire. She pressed on me with a hot wooden spatula and tried to flatten them. Even now, I don't want people to touch my chest.\"\nby Gildas Par\u00e9, Words by Matthieu Bidan\nThe Victims of Cameroon's Horrific Breast Ironing Tradition\nSome Cameroonian mothers flatten their daughters' breasts with hot spatulas in the hope that that will make them less attractive to men, and the consequences are tragic.\nThis article was originally published on VICE France.\n\"Breast ironing\" is the Cameroonian custom of massaging young girls chests with hot tools\u2014spatulas and pestles being the most common\u2014in an attempt to flatten their developing breasts. This is done with the intention of postponing their first sexual relationships by making their bodies less attractive to men. Parents often fear that the girls won't finish their education if they meet a man and become pregnant.\nFor the most part, the flattening is carried out by female family members, either at home or with the assistance of a healer. The process begins as soon as the girls hit puberty\u2014for some, that means as early as eight years old. The consequences of this can be disastrous for the victims' health\u2014cysts, breast cancer, and breastfeeding issues are all common, not to mention the abundance of psychological consequences linked to the practice. According to a 2011 GIZ report, one out of every ten Cameroonian girls has been subjected to breast ironing.\nFrench photographer Gildas Par\u00e9 recently traveled to Cameroon to photograph some of those victims and take note of their stories. We sat him down for a chat about his work and this traditional act of mutilation.\nVICE: You were originally a food photographer. What made you want to shoot these portraits?\nGildas Par\u00e9: I wanted to work on something more personal and I was interested in issues surrounding femininity. I was surprised to find that the custom of breast ironing was so poorly documented. After some research, I found out that a journalist, Kirk Bayama, was filming a documentary on the matter. I contacted him and a few months later we traveled to Cameroon together.\nCan you explain this practice?\nThe idea is that if your breasts don't grow, men won't be attracted to you. Mothers do it in the hope that their daughters won't get pregnant and instead be able to continue their education. If no one's attracted to them, they won't end up getting married early.\nA wooden spatula that has been used for breast ironing.\nIt often starts when the girl is about eight or nine years old. Their family will wrap tight elastic bandages around their chest. They tighten them at night, sometimes during the day, too. Another technique is massaging the breasts with hot instruments. The assumption is that heating these tools and pressing them on the girls will melt the fat, which is completely insane. They use a wide variety of things in this process: pestles, wooden sticks, spatulas, spoons, and rocks. Most of the objects tend to belong to either their mothers or grandmothers.\nAll of the women pose bare-chested. Was it easy to convince them to do so?\nNot at all, it was actually really difficult. During our first meeting with RENATA\u2014the women's rights NGO that helped us\u2014one of the victims immediately told us that it would be impossible. \"You can either photograph their face or their breasts, but not both. They will never agree to that,\" she said. I told them that if I didn't do it that way, it wouldn't be of any use. A clothed woman wouldn't have the same impact. We had lengthy discussions about it and they finally agreed with me. They understood what I was doing\u2014that my point of view wasn't sexual but an insight.\nYou wanted them to be topless from the beginning, is that right?\nYes, definitely. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been such a direct confrontation with the audience. Breasts have a strong impact on people.\nWhat sort of relationship do these women have with their bodies?\nThey suffer on a daily basis. They can't stand wearing a swimsuit, so they don't go to the beach. It's hard for them to undress in front of their boyfriends\u2014if they even have one, that is. The physical pain might fade but the psychological trauma doesn't. Most don't want their chests to be touched ever again.\n\"They tell you: 'Don't scream, it's for your own good.' I haven't had the courage to talk about it to my children yet. Three days ago, my son asked me, 'Mommy, why do you have small breasts?' I told him that I didn't know. I also have a six-year-old daughter. But I'm not ready to talk about it. I would have loved to breastfeed a future president.\" \u2013Carole N., 28 years old.\nThe title of your project is Plastic Dream. Why is that?\nThese women are desperate for plastic surgery. They want to earn enough money to be able to afford breast operations. They'd like to be able to wear nice dresses, to go out and show themselves. But for now, they'd prefer to hide. That's what's really terrible.\nWhen I went there, I had so many preconceived notions: I thought I'd find all these women with huge scars on their bodies. But in the end, it was the psychological wounds that we talked the most about. I was a bit overwhelmed.\nWas there one story in particular that moved you?\nEvery single story was powerful. Even if their wounds weren't visual, they were broken inside. One of the women suffered a lot: She was ironed with a spatula, then a rock, then raped and married off to a man without her consent. She had a kid when she was just 14.\nIn Cameroon, if you can't breastfeed your child, things can get difficult. Feeding bottles or milk for the baby are not readily available on the market. Since that girl wasn't able to breastfeed, they used driver ants to sting her with venom in an attempt to kickstart milk production. It's a horrible story.\nWhat's next for this project?\nRight now, I'm looking for places to exhibit these portraits. I'm currently negotiating with a gallery. I also really want to go back to Cameroon to shoot some more.\nYou can find Gildas' work on his website and Matthieu on Twitter. More photos and stories below.\n\"When my breasts started to grow, people in my house began to talk about it. Neighbors, my mom's friends, our elders. So much talking! Even I started to feel ashamed because people were talking about it. Eventually, my mom decided to iron my breasts. 'If we don't iron them, it will attract men. And we know that men mean pregnancy,' she said. We needed to kill those breasts, she claimed. She used hot rock on my right boob, then the left, then the right. This went on for weeks. I suppose she meant well. Breasts are what makes a woman beautiful, though. Today, mine are flabby. They can't even stand.\" \u2013Carole B., 28 years old.\nBerry pits are also used to flatten the breast. Women heat them and then rub it against the chest.\n\"I was eight when my mother told me: 'Take your top off. Do you have breasts already? When a girl your age has breasts, men look at her.' I didn't understand what she was doing. Every day, sometimes three times a day, she would flatten my chest with a hot spatula. She would just say: 'It's for your own good.' It was a nightmare. I noticed that the more she massaged me, the more my breasts grew. When she realized it wasn't working, she used a rock. That was hell. It felt like my body was on fire. A guidance counselor, who I told everything, tried to talk to my mom and get her to stop. I was happy because I thought it was over. But she did it again\u2014with heated fruit pits this time. She massaged and massaged. I packed my stuff and moved to my aunt's immediately. Sometimes, I try to understand my mother's actions. It hurts so much when I look at myself in the mirror.\" \u2013Doriane, 19 years old.\n\"My breasts finally began to grow when I was 18 years old. Before that, boys weren't attracted to my body. I felt really bad about it. My grandmother began destroying my breast when I was 12 years old. I would try to run away from her every morning but she'd catch me. Other kids were going to school and I was being massaged with a hot rock. She did it twice a day for a year. Having breasts is natural, it's human. When I didn't have them, I felt like a boy.\" \u2013Agn\u00e8s, 32 years old.\n\"Pestles remind me of my childhood pains. That same piece of rock people use to crush spices has been used to crush women's beauty and wilt teenagers' skin. My breasts began to grow when I was ten and my family thought that massaging was the solution. When I was 16 and got pregnant, they also darkened. A black fluid would come out every time I tried to breastfeed. I have a hard time remembering it all. I decided to forget it and to fight violence against women.\" \u2013Cathy, 27 years old.\n\"Every morning, before going to school, my mom makes me lift up my top so she can make sure I haven't taken my bandage off. It's been two years now and she still checks it on a daily basis. It's humiliating. I'd like her to stop. When I grow up, I want to be a lawyer or play piano. I hope that wearing this bandage will help me to continue my education.\" \u2013Cindy, 14 years old.\nElastic bandage used to curb breast growth.\nDriver ants used to stimulate breast milk production.\n\"She was my mom, so I had to obey when she called for me. Even if I ran, she'd catch me; when I went to bed, she'd grab me; when I was washing myself, she'd get me and start massaging. She'd find a way, no matter what. I could cry all I want, but she would still do it. It felt like she was stabbing something into my chest. She's dead now. I never really understood what she was thinking\u2014if she thought she was helping me or punishing me. My cousin raped me when I was 13 and I ended up giving birth to his child. I needed to produce milk but I no longer had breasts. We tried to use driver ants. When they sting you, your breasts inflate and it's supposed to encourage milk production. I've had three children and, despite the ants, I haven't been able to breastfeed any of them.\" \u2013Emmanuelle, 23 years old.\n\"At night, my mother would make me wear a really tight elastic band around my chest. During the day, she'd massage me with a spatula, a pestle, a stick, or a rock. It really hurt. I asked her to stop and eventually she did. But after the ironing, my breasts grew really fast. Like really, really fast. I was so ashamed. I wanted to hide them. People on the street would scream at me about my boobs. By my twenties, my breasts started to sag like those of a 50-year-old woman. I'm reluctant to undress in front of people. Sometimes, I keep my top on when I have sex with my boyfriend. I really resent my mother\" \u2013 Ga\u00eblle, 26 years old.\nHomemade elastic band.\n\"Sometimes, I can't breathe because the bandage is so tight. It scares me. I've had it on for a year. It's really hot, so I get spots everywhere underneath it. I don't understand why my mom does this.\" \u2013Manuella, nine years old.\nPestle.\n\"My mother told me that my breasts were going to attract men. So she brought me to a traditional healer. He grabbed a knife, cut my breasts, one after the other, and sucked the insides out with a tube. He told me: 'If you don't do it, people will think you're a prostitute.' I fainted from the pain. It took days to heal. Breasts are a gift from God.\" \u2013Lisette, 34 years old.\nCrushing rock.\nGildas Par\u00e9\nbreast flattening\nKirk Bayama",

He\u2019s the pre-eminent law enforcement person in the country\u201d (Daily News, March 13).\nIndeed, no one in American law enforcement exceeds our police commissioner in stopping and frisking blacks and Hispanics on the street.\nMoreover, the rest of the country will be impressed, as Schumer insistently pursues his goal, that in ultra-sophisticated Manhattan, the often-quoted Quinnipiac University Polling Institute showed, according to a March 17 Wall Street Journal report, that the voters acclaim Kelly\u2019s job performance (67 percent to 20 percent).\nA Kelly enthusiast, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who has himself long cultivated aspirations for residence in the White House, has, in all the boroughs but Manhattan, an approval rate of 39 percent, his lowest in eight years. In Manhattan\u2014the pollsters didn\u2019t reach me\u2014Bloomberg barely reached a majority of 55 percent.\nBut once Kelly makes it, I\u2019m sure he\u2019ll often welcome Bloomberg\u2019s staying overnight in the Lincoln bedroom.\nHowever, our iconic Ray Kelly says (Daily News, March 18) that he has \u201cno plans\u201d to leave his post.

Why\u2014until he\u2019s actually nominated by Obama\u2014should Kelly have to answer irreverent questions about his civil liberties record here from the NYCLU, the national ACLU, and the relatively small number of other active Bill of Rights guardians in our land?\nEven the Tea Partiers\u2014although some carry the Constitution in their pockets\u2014have not aggressively focused on the Obama administration going beyond even Bush and Cheney in suspending our individual liberties, such as privacy, in that founding document.\nIf nominated, Ray Kelly will, I expect, be eased into the Oval Office.\nThis real possibility brought back for me the regime of J. Edgar Hoover, and in view of the record of the FBI under Bush-Cheney and Obama, I\u2019m not surprised that FBI headquarters in Washington is still named after the ubiquitous Mr. Hoover.\nPreparing to write my second book of memoirs, Speaking Freely (Knopf), I got through the Freedom of Information Act my considerable FBI file, including many pages during Hoover\u2019s reign when I was a frequent critic of him. A characteristic entry was my attendance at a meeting of \u201cradicals\u201d in North Africa. I\u2019ve never been to Africa, north or south.\nAs for the current FBI, Ray Kelly\u2014whose record as this city\u2019s police commissioner has shown an aversion to individual civil liberties, particularly to the Fourth Amendment\u2014would cherish the present \u201cGuidelines for Domestic FBI Operations,\u201d signed into law toward the end of the Bush administration and since then thoroughly endorsed by President Obama and his lapdog, Attorney General Eric Holder.\nJ. Edgar Hoover would have been delighted to learn that under these guidelines\u2014which would have enraged James Madison and Thomas Jefferson\u2014the FBI can conduct a \u201cthreat assessment\u201d as it protects our national security, against any one of us.\nWithout a judicial warrant (judges can be pesky in these matters) and, dig this, without any specific suspicion of criminal activity, they can track whomever they choose.\nIs this still America? While still head of the FBI, Director Mueller, testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee, solemnly assured Illinois Democrat Dick Durbin that before any FBI surveillance can begin, there has to be at least some suspicion of wrongdoing.\nAfter his testimony ended, someone in his office must have whispered in his ear because he sent Durbin a note saying he had misspoken on that matter. He had also misspoken when he testified that race is never a factor when an FBI agent is conducting a \u201cthreat assessment.\u201d\nAs many black and Hispanic New Yorkers would tell President Obama\u2014if he cared to ask before nominating Kelly to run the FBI\u2014race is a starkly disproportionate factor in Commissioner Kelly\u2019s long record of stop-and-frisks on our streets.\nThink the spirit of Hoover isn\u2019t still haunting the FBI? Last July, the ACLU charged that \u201cthe FBI is still refusing to make public the portion of the [Domestic FBI] Guide that deals with sending agents or informants into houses of worship and political gatherings\u201d (Associated Press).\nDo you think FBI Director Kelly would insist on revoking that part of the guidelines? Just as under Hoover, if you go to a public gathering or to pray, you could be tracked into a database just because of your presence. The ACLU and some of its affiliates have ample evidence that this is already happening.\nIn fact, even George Orwell would be stunned to learn how extensive a surveillance society this country has become\u2014and there\u2019s much more contempt coming for what\u2019s left of our personal privacy.\nOn December 10, the Washington Post\u2019s Dana Priest, together with William Arkin, revealed in \u201cMonitoring America\u201d that: \u201cThe United States is assembling a vast domestic intelligence apparatus to collect information about Americans\u2014using the FBI, local police, state homeland security offices, and military criminal investigators. . . . The system, by far the largest and most sophisticated in the nation\u2019s history, collects, stores, and analyzes information about thousands of U.S. citizens, many of whom have not been accused of any wrongdoing.\n\u201cThe government\u2019s goal is to have every state and local law enforcement agency in the country feed information to buttress the work of the FBI, which is in charge of terrorism investigations in the United States\u201d (emphasis added).\nWould you trust your fading privacy to an FBI headed by Ray Kelly as the \u201cMonitoring America\u201d operation expands?\nAnd what if Chuck Schumer, influential as he is, fails to get Ray Kelly nominated to the FBI director?\nWould the next nominee by Barack Obama\u2014or by a Republican president elected in 2012\u2014be asked by enough of the media in all its forms, the Congress, or the citizenry, whether he or she has any objections to enforcing the FBI Domestic Guidelines or cooperating with \u201cMonitoring America?\u201d\nHow many of the New Generation\u2014having been passively conditioned to what they know, partially, of their being surveilled\u2014care about their vanishing privacy as, for example, they flock to be on Facebook? There, the FBI chooses its \u201cpersons of interest.\u201d\nMore:Barack ObamaCharles SchumerFederal Bureau of InvestigationPoliticsRay Kelly",

        "title": "Golden Globes Suffer a Seating Shortage Thanks to All the Ensembles",
        "raw_content": "exclusive Jan. 12, 2012\nGolden Globes Suffer a Seating Shortage Thanks to All the Ensembles\nPhoto: Dale Robinette/?DreamWorks II Distribution Co., LLC. ?All Rights Reserved.\nThis year the Golden Globes is all about strength in numbers \u2013 the nominations are awash with films and TV with big ensembles, from Midnight in Paris and Bridesmaids to Modern Family and Boardwalk Empire. This is great for team spirit, but it\u2019s proving a headache for seating, with many projects being told that they have to limit who is coming to the party on their big night. \u201cIt\u2019s a nightmare every year,\u201d says one studio publicity chief, \u201cBut this year is worse than ever, because this year, there are so many ensembles nominated. The Help\u2019s ensemble is like, fifteen people. And then there\u2019s TV shows like Glee, Game of Thrones and Boardwalk Empire. Instead of a year where it\u2019s a show like The Good Wife, where it\u2019s just Julianna Margulies, it\u2019s a mess.\u201d\nHow tight are the Globes this year? Even co-stars whose films are nominated for Best Picture are having problems. On Wednesday, 50/50 co-star Anna Kendrick, for example, found she wasn\u2019t going to be able to support her film at the Globes, and as of this posting, the writer and executive producer for the Best Picture nominee, Will Reiser, does not have a ticket either. And they\u2019re hardly alone. \u201cMany people are frustrated and thinking of not going,\u201d says one studio PR spy. \u201cIt\u2019s not just that there are no \u2018plus ones\u2019 for wives or husbands \u2013 which there aren\u2019t. People are being asked, \u2018Are you a big enough face? Are you a big enough cast member?\u2019 Judd Apatow has been arguing that all the Bridesmaids producers should get seats, or he might not go at all.\u201d (A rep for Apatow emailed to tell us, \u201cHe\u2019s going to the Globes, thank you.\u201d but declined to comment on the scarcity of tickets, or whether Apatow had to resort to threatening to bail in order to get the seven Bridesmaids producers in the door.)\nA spokeswoman for the Globes\u2019 governing body, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, emailed Vulture to say, \u201cAs the show is held in the Beverly Hilton, we have far fewer tickets than other awards shows held at larger venues. The Globes are an intimate event and in keeping with that, we sometimes have limited tickets, especially in years like this when there are indeed a number of ensemble casts. It is always our goal to accommodate as many people associated with the nominations in the room but we do have a finite number of seats. We are not always able to accommodate significant others, co-producers and such. As much as we would love to have everyone associated with these accomplished films and television shows in the room, we just don\u2019t have the seating for everyone involved\u2026.Unless we start hanging tables from the rafters, it will always be an in-demand ticket.\u201d\nIronically, for all the people fighting to get into the Globes, we\u2019re told the awards show had some trouble lining up presenters who weren\u2019t already there with a nominated film or TV show. (Flacks for the HFPA and Dick Clark Productions deny this, and say their show is mostly booked now.) We hear that one of the stumbling blocks was that the Oscars are playing rough this year: The Academy recently poached the Globes\u2019 veteran star wrangler, Melissa Trueblood (who also secured talent for last year\u2019s Emmy Awards and both of the prior two People\u2019s Choice Awards and Golden Globes), and she and Oscars producer Brian Grazer have been taking a hard line against taking any celebrity leftovers from other award shows. According to several celeb publicists and the head of publicity at a major studio, those stars who\u2019ve already been asked to present at the Oscars have \u201cbeen asked not to present at anything that\u2019s televised before the Oscars,\u201d explains our studio flack. \u201cAnd if you go ahead and do it anyway, it sounds like you may or may not get an offer to present at the Oscars, depending on whether or not they need you.\u201d\nBoy, and they thought Ricky Gervais played hardball.",

        "raw_content": "List Words : Wanderlust team | 09 July 2017\n5 reasons to visit the Lake District in Cumbria, just declared a UNESCO World Heritage status\nThe Lake District has just been announced as a new UNESCO World Heritage site. From artistic inspiration to outdoor adventure, here are 5 reasons why it made the grade - and why you should visit\n1: Natural beauty\nYacht on Ullswater (Cumbria Tourist Board)\nJust calling it the \u2018Lake\u2019 District is a little misleading. There is an abundance of water here, but there are also great peaks, valleys and rolling hills.\nThe Lake District was shaped by glaciers during the last Ice Age, the glaciers sculpting and carving out U-shaped valleys, some of which filled with water to create the vast lakes the area\u2019s now famous for.\nOne of the most popular ways to get out on the shimmering lakes is with a 'steamer' ride on Windermere or Ullswater, a gentle step back in time, or take a cruise on Coniston Water, the third largest lake in the Lake District, where parts of the recent Swallows And Amazons was filmed.\nThe South and Central Lakes area is also where you\u2019ll find characterful villages and towns, like Grasmere, Hawkshead, Ambleside and Bowness.\nKeswick is a popular base and start point for hikers and climbers, with striking Skiddaw mountain as a backdrop, while road-trippers might want to take a drive down the A591 from Keswick on what\u2019s been named \u2018Britain\u2019s best driving road\u2019.\nThere are plenty of other kinds of natural beauty to discover, from England\u2019s highest mountain, Scafell Pike, to the woodlands of Grizedale Forest.\n2: Artistic inspiration\nWordsworth's Dove Cottage in Grasmere (Cumbria Tourist Board)\nLake District residents must be a bit sick of hearing it, but William Wordsworth's Daffodils poem, starting with the much-quoted line \u201cI wander\u2019d lonely as a cloud\u201d has come to stand as the archetypal Lake District poem, a tribute to the area\u2019s natural beauty.\nThe Lake District\u2019s dramatic mountains, lakes and valleys landscapes have providing inspiration to poets, writers and artists for centuries, not least in the Romantic poetry of Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, whose celebration of the Lake District helped lay the groundwork for a later conservation movement. The popular Beatrix Potter books were also set here. It\u2019s possible to visit Potter\u2019s home and Dove Cottage, where Wordsworth lived.\nGreat painters have also tried to capture on canvas the unique landscapes and light, including John Constable, Thomas Gainsborough and JMW Turner.\nNature may remain the big draw, but there\u2019s still a thriving cultural scene, with artworks set in the mountains and sculptures hidden among the forests, abundant art and photograph exhibitions and galleries, and festivals covering everything from literature and comic book art to comedy and theatre.\nFor music, the annual Keswick Jazz and Blues Festival returns in May for it\u2019s 26th edition, with Franz Ferdinand, Manic Street Preachers and Brian Wilson Presents Pet Sounds at July's Kendal Calling festival.\n3: Foodie culture\nLocal produce served at Askham Hall (Cumbria Tourist Board)\nSteve Coogan and Rob Brydon\u2019s bickering and Bond impressions over fancy grub and fine wine at the likes of Holbeck Gyhll in Windermere, for the first series of The Trip, did no harm in putting the Lake District firmly on the map for foodies.\nCumbria was also a rising Must-Do for gastronomic adventurers, though, the Lake District now home to four Michelin-starred restaurants, including chef Simon Rogan\u2019s two Michelin-starred L\u2019Enclume, which also featured in The Trip.\nThere are humbler, non-Michelin pleasures to be had, too, including Grasmere\u2019s handmade gingerbread. Most people are familiar with the love-it-or-loathe-it Kendal Mint Cake, but far fewer have tried Cartmel Sticky Toffee Pudding. This is a place to explore, from farm shops and bakeries to craft breweries and classic English pubs.\nThe Lake District\u2019s reputation is hardly surprising, given the thriving farming culture and the abundance of fresh produce to be found here. In particular, you\u2019ll find two indigenous breeds of sheep, the Herdwick and the Rough Fell, both popular additions to local menus.\nHill farming has helped shape the Lake District for over 1000 years and still defines the region\u2019s culture and landscapes, from popular shepherds meets to the stone walls that give the area it\u2019s \u2018timeless\u2019 look.\n4: Active ways to explore the great outdoors\nVia Ferrata in Honister Slate Mine (Cumbria Tourist Board)\nIt will face stiff competition from the likes of the Cairngorms National Park in in Scotland, but the Lake District is attempting to position itself as the Adventure Capital of the UK.\nHome to England's highest mountain, Scafell Pike, there\u2019s certainly no shortage of ways to get outside and enjoy the region\u2019s nature, from hiking and cycling to kayaking abseiling. This being the Lake District, home to England\u2019s deepest lake (Wastwater), there are also plenty of ways to get wet, including open water swimming, canoeing, kayaking, windsurfing or a good old-fashioned rowing boat. Intrepid folks might like to dive in for the Great North Swim in Lake Windermere.\nAuthor and fellwalker Alfred Wainwright helped blaze a trail for hikers, putting the many peaks and views on the map.\nThe Lake District also has a reputation as the birthplace of modern rock climbing, with everything from gentle scrambles to testing technical challenges, as well as indoor climbing centres and an indoor ice wall. The thriving climbing culture is celebrated with two annual mountain festivals, Keswick Mountain Festival and Kendal Mountain Festival, while Honister is also home to the UK\u2019s first Via Ferrata.\nThese country roads, villages and rugged landscapes also call out to be explored on two wheels. Cyclist should seek out the Lakes and Dales Loop cycling route, a 196-mile circular loop taking in some of the best of Cumbria and Yorkshire Dale National Parks, Eden Valley, Morecambe Bay and West Cumbria.\nThe list goes on, from horse-riding to bushcraft and plenty of other fine ways to enjoy the great outdoors.\n5: Wildlife and conservation\nRed squirrels (Nurture Lakeland)\nIn the ever-popular Lake District, there\u2019s often no shortage of sightings of the common species \u2018tourist with a camera stepping off a tour bus\u2019. Around 43 million visit Cumbria each year.\nWith high mountains, wetlands, lakes, peat bogs and native woodland, this area is populated by more interesting and rare species though. The endangered red squirrel is native to the Lake District\u2019s woodlands, making this one of the last remaining places in the UK where they can still be found in the wild.\nThe Lake District National Park is home to other rare wildlife, including red deer, Peregrine falcons, Arctic Char fish and Britain\u2019s only nesting pairs of Golden Eagles and Ospreys. There are eight National Nature Reserves, over 100 SSSIs (Sites of Special Scientific Interest), and other nationally and internationally important wildlife sites. Other protected species that populate the area include Barn Owls and the Natterjack Toad.\nRed deer stag, Martindale (National Trust)\nPlantlife, including unique kinds of moss and lichen, and habitats, from grassland to upland heaths, also come under the protection of the National Park.\nAs a consequence of Wordsworth and the Romantic movement, as well as painters like John Ruskin, the Lake District saw a rise in public popularity and an interest in protecting the area. Development, such as reservoirs, extended train lines and deforestation, was met with protest, lobbying and fundraising to buy threatened land, forming a groundbreaking land conservation movement with global impact.\nAmerica\u2019s John Muir, the \u2018father\u2019 of National Parks, was influenced by the environmental thinking of Wordsworth and Ruskin.\nThe founders of the National Trust were inspired by the Lake District too. Canon Hardwicke Rawnsley, one of the Trust's three founders, lived in Grasmere and was a student of Ruskin. With development of nearby Grasmere Isle looking possible, Rawnsley saw a need for an organisation to protect landscapes and, together with kindred spirits Octavia Hill and Robert Hunter, set up the National Trust in 1895.\nToday, the Trust owns (or has an arrangement in place to protect) around a quarter of the Lake District.\nThe Lake District is currently bidding for UNESCO World Heritage status, which would place the Lake district in international importance alongside the Taj Mahal, Angkor Wat, the Tower of London, Mount Fuji and the Great Barrier Reef. The decision will be made by the UNESCO World Heritage Committee in July.

        "raw_content": "MAY: Separating cause and effect in the Middle East\nThe conflict didn't follow Israeli occupation, but preceded it\nBy Clifford D. May - - Tuesday, July 15, 2014\nJERUSALEM | \u201cThe Palestinian Rothschild\u201d is just one of Munib al-Masri\u2019s colorful nicknames. A longtime adviser to Yasser Arafat, the now-deceased Palestinian leader, he is today an 80-year-old billionaire with interests in everything from telecommunications to construction to agriculture. The patriarch of a large and distinguished family, he lives in an elegant West Bank mansion inspired by Palladio\u2019s Rotonda in Vicenza, Italy.\nAt the St. George Hotel in Jerusalem, a short walk from the Muslim Quarter of the Old City, he tells me that he has one overriding interest: peace. He leads an organization called Breaking the Impasse, a forum of \u201cprominent Palestinian and Israeli businesspeople and civil society leaders who believe in the urgency of reaching a peaceful resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict along a \u2018two states for two peoples\u2019 solution.\u201d\nI\u2019m impressed: I ask him what is required to achieve this dream. He disappoints me: He doesn\u2019t say that Hamas needs to stop firing missiles at Israeli population centers. He doesn\u2019t say that Hamas needs to delete from its charter its vows to \u201cobliterate\u201d Israel and kill all the Jews. He says nothing about Hamas\u2018 insistence that there \u201cis no solution for the Palestinian question except through jihad\u201d and its unequivocal rejection of \u201cso-called peaceful solutions.\u201d Nor does he offer any criticism of \u201cmoderate\u201d Fatah for joining with Hamas in a \u201cunity government.\u201d\nInstead, he asserts that the only way to resolve the conflict is for Israel to \u201cend the occupation,\u201d and shut down the \u201csettlements.\u201d\nLet\u2019s consider that approach. In 2005, Israel ended its occupation of Gaza. Every settlement (there were 21), every settler (there were about 9,000 \u2014 for the sake of comparison, there are more than 1.6 million Israeli Arabs), every synagogue and cemetery was removed. Had Gaza\u2019s rulers responded to this withdrawal by shifting their energies from anti-Israeli \u201cresistance\u201d to economics \u2014 e.g., developing the beachfront real estate, attracting foreign investment and encouraging trade \u2014 Israelis would soon have been withdrawing from most of the West Bank as well.\nInstead, of course, Hamas turned Gaza into a terrorist enclave from which missiles have been fired at Israeli communities \u2014 more than a thousand in recent days. In this case, it was clearly not occupation that led to conflict. On the contrary \u2014 ending the occupation of Gaza served to escalate the conflict.\nIt\u2019s also important to remember that when Hamas and similar groups talk about \u201coccupation,\u201d they\u2019re referring to every square inch of Israel. Such rejectionism has a long pedigree: In the aftermath of World War II, the United Nations adopted a resolution recommending the partition of Palestine into independent \u201cArab and Jewish states.\u201d (In those days, the term \u201cPalestinian\u201d was more frequently applied to the region\u2019s Jews than to its Arabs.) The five Arab nations surrounding Israel not only turned down this two-state solution, they deployed their regular armies to wage what Azzam Pasha, secretary of the Arab League, said would be \u201ca war of extermination and a momentous massacre, which will be spoken of like the Mongolian massacres and the Crusades.\u201d\nIn the end, of course, Palestinian Jews successfully defended themselves. Arab states took revenge on the ancient Jewish communities within their borders \u2014 forcing them to flee by the hundreds of thousands. Most went to Israel, where they and their descendants are now a majority of the population.\nIn 1967, Israel\u2019s Arab neighbors again mobilized to push the Jews into the sea. Again, they failed. At the conclusion of what became known as the Six-Day War, Israel held Gaza, which had been governed by Egypt, and the West Bank, which had been administered by Jordan. Worth recalling: At no time had Egypt, Jordan or other Arab countries proposed transforming these territories into a state called \u201cPalestine.\u201d\nOver the years since, Israelis have repeatedly offered to withdraw from most of these territories in exchange for a durable peace. Palestinian leaders have repeatedly said no.\nMilitarily, Hamas is no match for Israel, but it is skilled at manipulating Western media. For example, on July 9, The New York Times accurately reported that an \u201cIsraeli barrage followed the firing of about 80 rockets out of Gaza on Monday.\u201d However, that fact was buried deep in the story. The front-page headline misleadingly read: \u201cIsrael presses air barrage, and Hamas strikes back.\u201d The next day, The Washington Post carried this front-page headline: \u201cIsrael hits Gaza homes; Children and women killed.\u201d\nTo the extent that\u2019s the case, it\u2019s because Hamas uses women and children as \u201chuman shields.\u201d An order from Hamas\u2019 Interior Ministry, translated by Oren Adaki of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, specifically tells Palestinians to ignore Israeli warnings and remain in targeted buildings. On Palestinian television, a Hamas spokesman has repeated that message.\nCNN\u2019s Jake Tapper, to his great credit, asked Diana Butto, a sophisticated Palestinian spokeswoman, about such Hamas tactics. She testily replied that to raise such questions is \u201cracist and reprehensible.\u201d\nMr. al-Masri takes a different tack. He tells me that \u201cGeorge Washington also was a terrorist.\u201d Really? On which occasions did Washington target children or use them as shields? At the end of our conversation, Mr. al-Masri invites me and my colleagues to visit him at his West Bank estate. I have no doubt that he would show us extraordinary hospitality. I do doubt whether we will have a productive conversation.\nSo long as Hamas and other jihadists seek nothing less than the extermination of the Jewish state and people, while Palestinian peacemakers insist that it is for Israelis alone to make concessions, the conflict in this corner of the Middle East is irresolvable. Calling for the \u201cimpasse\u201d to be broken is not enough. At some point, both sides have to participate in the breaking.\nClifford D. May is president of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.",

        "raw_content": "Fewer black Pittsburgh cops since ACLU bias suit\nPittsburgh police in riot gear redeploy Thursday after confrontations with protesters near the Strip District in Pittsburgh. Hundreds of demonstrators marched in protest of the G-20 summit, which is expected to begin in Pittsburgh on Thursday. (Associated Press) more >\nPITTSBURGH (AP) \u2014 The city of Pittsburgh has a smaller percentage of black police officers since the American Civil Liberties Union sued two years ago alleging hiring discrimination.\nThirteen percent of city officers are black, down from 17 percent when the lawsuit was filed in 2012, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review (https://bit.ly/W697B4 ) reported.\nThe newspaper\u2019s report comes as the sides are scheduled to meet Thursday with a federal magistrate who is mediating the lawsuit.\nCensus figures show about 26 percent of the city is black. The ACLU contends screening practices disproportionately eliminate black candidates.\nThe city has said in court papers that the lead plaintiff had three warrants for failing to respond to citations, spotty work records and a \u201cpoor\u201d driving record when he was passed over for a police job, and that claims by four other plaintiffs were \u201cextremely weak.\u201d\nStill, a spokesman for Mayor Bill Peduto said the city is trying to improve its recruitment of black officers.\n\u201cThe mayor has been working since the first days of his administration on ways to increase diversity within public safety,\u201d spokesman Tim McNulty said.\nTodd Siegel, director of the city\u2019s Personnel and Civil Service Commission wouldn\u2019t comment for the newspaper\u2019s story, but he did provide a list of ways the city might attract more black police candidates. Among other things being considered is an \u201cambassador/mentor\u201d program to help black recruits navigate the hiring process and recruiting in city neighborhoods with more black residents.\nMcNulty said the Peduto administration also wants to form an advisory board to develop ways to increase minority hiring.\nWitold \u201cVic\u201d Walczak, the ACLU\u2019s legal director in Pennsylvania, contends about 20 percent of police applicants are black, but most wind up near the bottom of the hiring eligibility list.\n\u201cAny efforts to attract a larger pool of candidates would be a good thing, but that doesn\u2019t address the issue of whether the selection process is discriminatory, as we\u2019ve alleged,\u201d Walczak said.\nThe city has dealt with efforts to create court-ordered minority hiring in the past. A federal consent decree forced the city to hire one white woman and one black male and female for every white male officer hired from 1975 to 1991.\nInformation from: Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, https://pghtrib.com",

        "raw_content": "Former Md. governor: Offshore drilling plan 'a big mistake'\nBy BRIAN WITTE - Associated Press - Monday, February 2, 2015\nANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - President Barack Obama\u2019s plan to allow offshore drilling along a wide area of the Atlantic Coast is \u201ca big mistake,\u201d former Maryland governor and potential 2016 presidential candidate Martin O\u2019Malley wrote in an opinion piece published Monday.\n\u201cThe Obama administration\u2019s whiplash decision last week to allow oil and gas companies to drill along a wide area of the Atlantic Coast is a big mistake,\u201d O\u2019Malley wrote in the op-ed piece in The New York Times.\nO\u2019Malley, a Democrat, cited the BP Deepwater Horizon disaster as a reminder that the benefits of drilling don\u2019t outweigh threats to local economies, public health and the environment. Eleven workers were killed in the 2010 explosion, which triggered the release of millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico.\nO\u2019Malley wrote that climate change is likely to cause increasingly powerful hurricanes, which could damage or destroy oil rigs. The term-limited former governor who left office last month also noted that oil prices are at record lows, and the United States is the world\u2019s top producer of natural gas and third-biggest producer of crude oil.\n\u201cThere is simply no compelling economic or security reason to expose the communities of the Atlantic Coast to the threats offshore drilling presents,\u201d O\u2019Malley wrote.\nIt\u2019s not the first time O\u2019Malley has disagreed publicly with Obama. Last summer, he criticized a White House proposal to deal with the immigration crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border that could have accelerated the deportation of unaccompanied immigrant children.\nMeanwhile, O\u2019Malley is continuing to make trips to early primary states. He plans to make two trips to Iowa: one on March 20 in Davenport and another on April 10 in Des Moines. He also is scheduled to be in Nashua, New Hampshire, on March 17 and a Democratic fundraiser in Concord, New Hampshire, the night before.",

(AP) - State highway officials have pushed back the expected completion date for a section of southern Indiana\u2019s Interstate 69 extension by at least eight months.\nDevelopers initially expected to complete the 21-mile stretch between Bloomington and Martinsville by October 2016, The (Bloomington) Herald-Times (https://bit.ly/1YtB7Jv ) reported. But now the section of highway isn\u2019t expected to be completed until late June 2017.\nIndiana Department of Transportation spokesman Will Wingfield said the delay will not affect the cost of the project for taxpayers. He referred requests about the delay to I-69 Development Partners, which was hired by the department to design, build and finance the section of highway.\nThe newspaper\u2019s attempts for comment from I-69 Development Partners about the delay were unsuccessful Tuesday.\nLast week, I-69 Development Partners operations and maintenance manager Gary Vandegriff said disputes between the design-build contractor, Isolux Corsan, and its subcontractors halted some work on the project. He said the contract issues began sometime within the past 30 days, but he declined to provide details about the conflict, saying it was between the contractor and its subcontractors.\nDepartment of Transportation spokesman Scott Manning said last week that the dispute relates to delayed payments. He said the contracts between Isolux and its subcontractors stipulate that full payment should be made within 10 days of completion of a job, but it was more in the 60- to 90-day range in some cases.\nManning said he wasn\u2019t aware of why the payments were delayed or which subcontractors were affected. But he said most of the work that\u2019s being done at this time of year involved earth-moving operations.\nFitch Rating Inc.\u2019s decision to downgrade the Indiana Finance Authority\u2019s private activity bonds issued on behalf of I-69 Development Partners for the project reflects the deteriorating credit quality of Isolux and delays in the project\u2019s expected completion date, according to a news release issued last week by the rating company.\nIsolux\u2019s credit rating has been downgraded at least twice since December. Those downgrades in the company\u2019s credit rating relate to delays in planned liquidation of assets.\nFitch\u2019s news release said the project delays primarily relate to difficulties in obtaining permits related to railroads and the discharge of dredged or fill material into U.S. waters.\nInformation from: The Herald Times, https://www.heraldtimesonline.com",

The whole thing begs for Mickey Rooney to say, \u201cHe kids, I know, let\u2019s put on a show!\u201d\nThe North Shore Music Theatre needs about $4.5 million, give or take 10 bucks, by next spring or it will close.\nThe whole thing begs for Mickey Rooney to say, \u201cHe kids, I know, let\u2019s put on a show!\u201d\nBut it\u2019s going to take more than a few charity benefits to save the 55-year-old theater. Where have you gone, David Coffee, the North Shore turns its lonely eyes to you.\nPerhaps, somewhere up those long driveways on Argilla Road in Ipswich, in Beverly Farms, Manchester By-the-Sea, and up the horse farms in Hamilton and Wenham there\u2019s enough interest, money and love of the American musical and its preservation as a living art form, not just on Broadway, but for average folks on the North Shore, that theater board members can cobble together some kind of rescue package.\nAfter all, rescue packages are kind of in vogue now \u2014 rescue packages, they\u2019re the new Prada.\nI\u2019d love to blame the board of director\u2019s choice to dump \u201cA Christmas Carol\u201d this year in favor of \u201cHigh School Musical 2,\u201d one of those tween Disney musicals in which every song forces the performer to sound like one of the Chipmunks after an afternoon drinking at Starbucks.\nI found the theater\u2019s \u201cHigh School Musical\u201d production surprisingly passable, if only because my expectations were so low. Its music was mercifully forgettable. Its message of kids pursuing their own dreams and interests regardless of peer and parental pressure was worthwhile. But did we really need a stage version of \u201cHigh School Musical 2\u201d and presumably at some point \u201cHigh School Musical 3\u201d?\nAnd to replace my beloved Christmas Carol with, with that?\nI truly enjoyed \u201cA Christmas Carol\u201d and always considered it a highlight of the holiday season, something that made living on the North Shore special.\nLast year I wrote of the production, \u201cSo thank you to \u2026 the North Shore Music Theatre for putting on a fully human production that both plumbs the depths of isolation, loneliness and greed and soars with gratitude, love and forgiveness.\n\u201cFor a moment at least, the show provides a respite from the pressures of unending consumerism and refocuses the holiday season on the possibility of renewal and rebirth \u2014 at least for those who will listen to their own ghosts who have only their welfare at heart.\u201d\nSo, I\u2019d really love to blame \u201cHigh School Musical 2\u201d for the theater\u2019s grim financial circumstances, but I\u2019d rather tell the truth.\nAnd the truth is this: A number of factors have combined to push the theater to the brink. The economy is chief among them. Overall attendance this year is off by about 120,000, 230,000 compared to the normal 350,000. Donations are also down. The theater is still recovering from the $1 million loss it suffered in the 2005 fire, despite $500,000 from the state and $760,000 in insurance money.\nIn hindsight, the move to bump \u201cA Christmas Carol\u201d was a mistake, both of the heart and of the purse.\nThe decision took away a signature show longtime patrons loved.\nEven worse, the economy and High School Musical fatigue dropped ticket sales 25 percent below projections.\nThe North Shore Music Theatre thought it was trotting out a cash cow with \u201cHigh School Musical 2.\u201d In reality, Disney had already milked the cow dry with movie sequels two and three. In fact, High School Musical 3 just finished its run. The tweens who loved the first one have moved on to, what? The Jonas Brothers? And for the new tweens, the franchise is no longer the new, shiny pop culture bauble.\nSure, the theater says tickets for \u201cHigh School Musical 2\u201d and \u201cChristmas Carol\u201d are about even, at 13,000. But the theater has slashed High School Musical prices to get those sales. So gross revenues have to be less than for \u201cA Christmas Carol.\u201d\nSo, we lost \u201cA Christmas Carol\u201d this year \u2014 a hole in the holiday season \u2014 and we now face a much larger, permanent hole in the area\u2019s culture and luster.\nMaybe there\u2019s still some financial finagling out there. Maybe there\u2019s a buyer. It\u2019s a beautiful theater.

        "raw_content": "Say Cheese: Stock Photos, Non-Exclusivity & Copyright Infringement\nThe Ninth Circuit recently addressed an issue as to who may pursue claims for copyright infringement concerning stock photos in the case DRK Photo v. McGraw-Hill Global Education Holdings, LLC, et al. (Sept. 12, 2017). Apparently there has been a rise in copyright infringement claims involving stock photos and the Ninth Circuit was called upon to determine whether the non-exclusive licensing agent for stock photos had standing to pursue a claim for copyright infringement.\nThe case involved a stock photography agency, DRK, which markets and licenses photos taken by others. DRK has a collection of hundreds of thousands of \u201cstock photos\u201d and licensed a number of its photos to McGraw-Hill for use in its text books and other publications from 1992 to 2009.\nDRK typically entered into a \u201cRepresentation Agreement\u201d with photographers to license their photos. One form of the representation agreement was for DRK to (1) act as the \u201csole and exclusive agent\u201d to license the subject photos; and (2) another form of agreement that appointed DRK as a \u201cnon-exclusive agent\u201d to license such photos. Most of the agreements that DRK entered into with photographers were of the non-exclusive variety and these were the ones as issue in the Ninth Circuit\u2019s case.\nIn 2008, DRK began to attempt to copyright the photographs in its collection. To assist it with doing so, DRK had its photographers enter into \u201ccopyright assignment, registration and accrued causes of action agreements\u201d (\u201cAssignment Agreements\u201d) that purported to assign all copyrights and legal title in the images to DRK for the purpose of completing the copyright registration of the photos and resolving any infringement claims brought by DRK, after any copyright interest in the photographs would revert back to the photographer. DRK acknowledged that the purpose of these assignment agreements was to affect a transfer of any copyright interest to it so that it could pursue its copyright enforcement efforts. In fact, DRK admitted that it had no intent to use these interests for any purpose other than pursuing copyright infringement actions.\nAfter DRK sued McGraw-Hill in May 2001 asserting claims for copyright infringement, among others, McGraw-Hill moved for summary judgment as to some of these claims arguing that DRK lacked standing to pursue copyright infringement claims. The District Court agreed with McGraw-Hill and granted it summary judgment, finding that DRK was not the legal or beneficial owner of the copyrights at interest and thus had no standing to sue. DRK appealed this decision to the Ninth Circuit.\nThe Ninth Circuit began by recognizing that section 501(b) of the Copyright Act sets forth the requirements for standing to bring a lawsuit for copyright infringement: \u201cThe legal or beneficial owner of an exclusive right under a copyright is entitled, subject to the [registration] requirements of section 411, to institute an action for any infringement of that particular right committed while he or she is the owner of it.\u201d DRK argued that it had standing to sue for copyright infringement with regard to the photos as either a legal or a beneficial owner of the subject copyrights. The Ninth Circuit examined each of these claims in turn and rejected both of them.\nAs to DRK\u2019s claim that it had legal ownership in the photos\u2019 copyrights, it recognized the well-settled rule that \u201ca mere `non-exclusive license\u2019 does not constitute a `transfer of copyright ownership\u2019 and therefore cannot confer standing to assert an infringement claim.\u201d DRK claimed that it had legal ownership rights in the copyrights because of the Representation and Assignment Agreements. First, DRK argued that the Ninth Circuit had previously held that a stock photograph agency had standing to bring copyright infringement claims in the case Minden Pictures, Inc. v. John Wiley & Sons, Inc., that was decided in 2015. The Ninth Circuit rejected this argument by concluding that DRK misread the extent of that case, given that what was at issue in the Minden case was an agreement that gave Minden \u201csole and exclusive\u201d rights with respect to the licensing of the photographs. The Ninth Circuit distinguished the Representation Agreement at issue in the DRK case by noting that they did not give DRK exclusive rights and lacked \u201cany limitation whatsoever on the photographer\u2019s authority to contract with other licensing agents.\u201d Thus, the non-exclusive license was insufficient to grant standing to DRK to pursue infringement claims.\nDRK next argued that it became a legal owner of the copyrights by virtue of the Assignment Agreements. The Ninth Circuit likewise rejected this argument relying on its 2005 decision in Silvers v. Sony Pictures Entertainment, which held that the assignee of an accrued claim for copyright infringement could not maintain a copyright infringement claim if it had no legal or beneficial interest in the copyright itself. The Ninth Circuit noted that all of the acts of infringement occurred prior to DRK\u2019s entering into the Assignment Agreements and that even following the execution of the Assignment Agreements, the photographers retained the right to market and sell the covered photographers themselves and through other agents. In essence, the Ninth Circuit concluded that the Assignment Agreements merely conveyed a \u201cright to sue\u201d to DRK that failed to comply with the Copyright Act; and thus failed to confer standing to pursue infringement actions under the Copyright Act.\nNext, DRK argued that it had standing to sue because it was the beneficial owner of the subject copyrights. The Ninth Circuit recognized that it had not been called upon to fully explore the extent of who may qualify as a beneficial owner and declined to do so in the DRK case. In essence, DRK was arguing that the Representation and Assignment Agreements, while maybe not making it the legal owner of the copyrights at issue, rendered it a beneficial owner. The Ninth Circuit concluded that this was nothing but an \u201cend run\u201d around the Copyright Act ruling that \u201cto hold that DRK is a beneficial owner simply on the very basis that it cannot be deemed the legal owner would effectively negate our holding in Silvers and render portions of section 501(b) superfluous.\u201d\nCircuit Judge Marsha Berzon concurred in the Court\u2019s ruling solely on the basis that she recognized that Silvers remained good law in the Ninth Circuit and thus, compelled the conclusion reached by the Court. She wrote in her concurrence, however, that she continued to believe that Silvers was wrongly decided and that the Court should be more pragmatic in determining who had standing to pursue claims for copyright infringement. Judge Berzon found it significant that DRK is authorized to license photographs on behalf of the photographers and has a \u201csubstantial interest\u201d in how the photos it licenses should be used. This should be sufficient in her view to confer standing for DRK to pursue copyright infringement claims.\nAttorneys representing companies that are involved in the stock photography industry may want to revisit any applicable licensing agreements regarding stock photos to determine whether or not their client will have standing to pursue copyright infringement claims concerning the photos in their catalogues.",

        "raw_content": "TAGS: Awards, Bacteria, Chemistry, Medicine, Women\nA bicycle accident and polar bears came together in one curious scientist\u2019s mind, and became the catalyst for research that is changing the world.\nWhen Prof. Ada Yonath of the Weizmann Institute of Science was recovering from a concussion suffered while riding her bike, she read an article about hibernating polar bears, which led her to consider the physical processes that enable and support a dormant state. It occurred to her that in order for the bears to go in and out of hibernation, it was possible that ribosomes were packed in an orderly manner\u2014an idea that went against then-current thinking. And she wondered, \u201cWhy do they do this?\u201d\nMore than 20 years later, Prof. Yonath won the 2009 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for her work deciphering the structure of ribosomes.\nShe began with the realization that in order to investigate ribosomes, they first needed to be crystallized. Often called the cell\u2019s protein factories, ribosomes are composed of a large number of protein molecules loosely bound to giant chains of nucleic acids. Ribosomes are also notoriously unstable and tend to disintegrate, and crystallization should allow them to be imaged and their action studied. At the time\u2014the 1970s\u2014most scientists thought this was impossible.\n\u201cTop teams around the world, such as those at UCLA and MIT in the United States and the Medical Research Council in England, had been trying to crystallize ribosomes since the 1960s\u2014with no success. I thought, this is such a delightful group of \u2018unsuccessful\u2019 people\u2014they were all Nobel Prize winners\u2014I would like to be among them,\u201d Prof. Yonath recalled.\n\u201cPeople called me a dreamer,\u201d she said, but she believed in her unconventional idea and pressed onward. Fortunately, she was conducting her studies at the Weizmann Institute of Science, where curiosity-driven research is actively encouraged.\nProf. Yonath needed strong ribosomes for her crystallization experiments, which led her to use ribosomal material from hardy bacterial strains isolated from the Dead Sea. These tough, thermophilic (heat-loving) and halophilic (salt-loving) bacteria proved ideal candidates. \u201cAfter all, they\u2019ve been around almost unchanged for five million years,\u201d she explained.\nIn order to get the stable ribosomes she needed, she pioneered a new approach that involved exposing ribosome crystals to cryo-temperature during x-ray measurement. This method, called cryo-crystallography, is now a standard research procedure in structural biology. Prof. Yonath and her team made a staggering 25,000 attempts before they succeeded in creating the first ribosome crystals in 1980.\nOver the next 20 years, using a sophisticated technique called x-ray crystallography, Prof. Yonath and her colleagues would continue to refine their studies. In 2000, teams at Weizmann and the Max Planck Institute in Hamburg, Germany\u2014both headed by Prof. Yonath\u2014solved, for the first time, the complete spatial structure of both subunits of a bacterial ribosome. Science magazine counted this achievement among the ten most important scientific developments of that year.\nLater, Prof. Yonath\u2019s team discovered the mechanism of action of five antibiotic drugs: they identified exactly how each of the antibiotics binds to the bacterial ribosome, shutting off protein production. Proteins are the cell\u2019s primary component and the basis of all enzymatic reactions; thus, blocking their production kills the bacterium.\nProf. Yonath has said that her goal is to \u201cto try to understand the principles of life from the inside by unraveling the detailed structure of ribosomes.\u201d But why are ribosomes so important?\nThey are essential to life, and solving the ribosome\u2019s structure gives scientists unprecedented insight into how the genetic code is translated into proteins. Upon receiving genetically encoded instructions from the cell nucleus, the ribosomal factory churns out proteins. Understanding protein biosynthesis is therefore the gateway to grasping life itself\u2014including what happens when things go wrong and disease results.\nThe science done by Prof. Yonath and her co-winners of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, Thomas Steitz of Yale University and Venkatraman Ramakrishnan of the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, could lead to benefits such as more advanced and effective antibiotics and better ways to fight the pathogenic protein biosynthesis characterizing cancer cells. The three scientists separately used x-ray crystallography to reveal the atomic structure and inner workings of the ribosome.\nThis discovery will hopefully also help in the struggle against antibiotic-resistant bacteria, a problem that has already proven fatal to many and that is recognized as one of the most central medical challenges of the 21st century.\nProf. Yonath is the first woman in the world since 1964 to become a chemistry laureate, and only the fourth in history. She is also Israel\u2019s first woman laureate. However, while she admires and respects the female laureates before her, she does not feel her gender is important: it is all about the research. \u201cI am a scientist, not male or female,\u201d she said. \u201cA scientist.\u201d\nFor more information on Prof. Ada Yonath, please visit: http://www.weizmann.ac.il/YonathNobel/\nProf. Ada Yonath's research is supported by the Helen and Milton A. Kimmelman Center for Biomolecular Structure and Assembly. Prof. Yonath is the Martin S. and Helen Kimmel Professor of Structural Biology.The Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel, is one of the world's top-ranking multidisciplinary research institutions. Noted for its wide-ranging exploration of the natural and exact sciences, the Institute is home to 2,600 scientists, students, technicians, and supporting staff. Institute research efforts include the search for new ways of fighting disease and hunger, examining leading questions in mathematics and computer science, probing the physics of matter and the universe, creating novel materials, and developing new strategies for protecting the environment.",

        "raw_content": "NEW YORK - Apple Watch is now fulfilling its promise to let people take EKGs of their heart and notify them of any irregular heartbeat.\nApple announced the heart features in September, but didn't make them available until Thursday. The new features have been given clearance by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and are for U.S. customers only.\nThe watch can intermittently check the wearer's heart rhythm in the background and send a notification if it detects irregular heart rhythm. That can point to atrial fibrillation, a condition that can increase the risk of stroke and other complications. Apple says the watch will notify users if it detects an irregular rhythm on five checks over at least 65 minutes.\nWhen symptoms appear, users can also take an EKG, or electrocardiogram, and share that with doctors. This feature is available for the latest, Series 4 version of the watch. The app, called ECG, comes as part of a free software update for the watch.\nThe irregular heart notification is available for older models, too, starting with the \"Series 1\" model in 2016. It doesn't work with the original, 2015 model.\nApple is adding medical features to make the watch feel more useful to people. A fall detection feature launched in September. It claims to be able to tell the difference between a trip and a fall \u2014 and when the latter occurs, it will suggest calling 911 (or the equivalent outside the U.S.). If it receives no response within a minute, the watch will automatically place an emergency call and message friends and family designated as emergency contacts.",

(Courtesy of Kind Music Festival)\nPUBLISHED: January 2, 2019 at 2:36 pm | UPDATED: January 3, 2019 at 10:17 am\nDespite having a bird with a marijuana leaf in its beak on its poster, the new Kind Music Festival coming to Desert Hot Springs on Feb. 23 may not be as cannabis-friendly as it is billing itself to be.\nThe festival, which posted a lineup on its website Wednesday that included acts such as Miguel, Chicano Batman and Starcrawler, has described itself as \u201cthe next generation of music festival, one that embraces cannabis as a legalized recreational product.\u201d\nHowever, city officials say they want to make it clear that the festival, set to be held on property owned by famous boxer Mike Tyson and the future home of his Tyson Ranch Resort, is approved to be just a concert, and not a cannabis event.\n\u201cWe know at the state level that there are permits and such that would need to be in place for a cannabis event and those are not in place,\u201d said city spokeswoman Doria Wilms on Wednesday. \u201cSo, while we are cannabis-friendly, and we very much support this concert, this concert is not permitted to be a cannabis consumption event.\u201d\nFestival organizers early on had indicated that there would be no sales at the event, but whether they would allow cannabis consumption has been far more hazy.\nR&B artist Miguel will headline the new Kind Music Festival at the future site of the Tyson Ranch Resort in Desert Hot Springs (File photo by Sarah Alvarado, Contributing Photographer).\nBand Chicano Batman is scheduled to perform at the new Kind Music Festival in Desert Hot Springs on Feb. 23 (File Photo by Eric Vilchis, The Press-Enterprise/Southern California News Group).\nArrow de Wilde of the band Starcrawler performs during the Beach Goth music festival at the Los Angeles State Historic Park on Sunday, August 5, 2018. Starcrawler will be at the new Kind Music Festival in Desert Hot Springs on Feb. 23 (File photo by Drew A. Kelley, Contributing Photographer).\nIn the frequently asked questions section of its website, the festival addressed the question of whether it was OK to consume cannabis with the answer, \u201cKMF salutes California\u2019s progressive stance on cannabis and its updated recreational/medical laws that go into effect on January 1, 2019.\u201d\nThe website\u2019s homepage also added \u201cHowever there will be no sales or giveaways of cannabis products at the festival. \u2026 We look forward to making that a reality in the near future!\u201d\n\u201cBasically we will be able to reflect all the recreational and medical laws that went into effect on New Year\u2019s Day,\u201d festival spokeswoman Kelly Walsh said during a phone interview on Wednesday.\nWalsh didn\u2019t answer questions about what those laws were and whether on-site cannabis consumption was allowed. She said a press release would come out around Friday and provide more information.\nAssembly Bill 2020, which was signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown, went into effect on Tuesday. It allows the state to authorize cannabis consumption events at any venue that has local approval. Previously, events were limited to just fairground locations.\nBut without the local approval from Desert Hot Springs, the event can\u2019t legally sell or allow people to consume cannabis.\nWilms noted that the plan was only to have a music festival from the time the city started working with festival organizers several months ago.\nIt\u2019s unclear whether the Desert Hot Springs Police Department planned to employ enforcement measures at the festival. Calls to that office were not immediately returned Wednesday.\nIn addition to Miguel, Chicano Batman and Starcrawler, the festival will also host pop vocalist Yonee and an act by the name of All My Friends Hate Me. Mac Ayres was listed on the original lineup posted to the festival\u2019s website Wednesday, but was no longer listed as of Thursday morning.\nBeyond the music, the all-ages event will provide such offerings as food trucks; a \u201cChillville\u201d with 100 specialty bean bags; and a fun zone with inflatable rides, obstacle courses, mazes, bar area and a vendor village.\nThe festival will be taking place at the future site of Tyson Ranch Resort, which will have such offerings as luxury glamping, an entertainment complex and a cannabis research and design facility when it is completed, according to the initial press release about the event.\nCannifornian",

        "title": "Stealth Jet Could Be Unsafe for Flight Training | WIRED",
        "raw_content": "Stealth Jet Could Be Unsafe for Flight Training\nThe military could be putting pilots' lives at risk in its hurry to begin training with the next-generation F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.\nThat's not some outrageous claim by poorly informed peaceniks or some muckraking journalist: It's the official position of the Pentagon's top weapons tester, Dr. Michael Gilmore. The F-35's developers \u2013 the Air Force, the Navy and Lockheed Martin \u2013 disagree with Gilmore's assessment. But the controversy underscores continuing problems with an aircraft that's supposed to replace almost all of America's current tactical warplanes, at a cost of more than $400 billion.\nIn a memo dated Oct. 21, Gilmore, the Director of Operational Test and Evaluation, asked Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics Frank Kendall to consider delaying the commencement of F-35 training by 10 months, in order to give engineers and testers more time to work out the $100-million-apiece JSF's kinks. \"Initiation of training in an immature aircraft risks the occurrence of a serious mishap,\" Gilmore wrote in the memo, which was leaked to the Washington, D.C.-based Project on Government Oversight.\nInitial \"familiarization\" flights for future JSF pilots were set to begin this fall, using a handful of so-called \"Lot 2\" F-35As completed by Lockheed this summer. The Lot 2 planes have been parked at Florida's Eglin Air Force Base \u2013 future home of the Pentagon's JSF \"schoolhouse\" \u2013 for several months, awaiting a certificate from the Air Force that will allow them to begin flying with student pilots aboard.\nBut Gilmore cautioned that the F-35 design might not be safe enough for trainees, regardless of any Air Force certificates. In his memo, Gilmore outlined several problems that he claims could result in a preventable, fatal accident during early training flights. The problems range from incomplete flight manuals, an untested ejection seat and a faulty generator that recently forced the Pentagon to briefly ground the 20-strong JSF test fleet.\nGilmore backed up his concerns with hard numbers. The JSF team at Edwards Air Force Base in California has racked up 1,000 hours in F-35As since testing began five years ago. \"Historically, flight training has not commenced for newly developed aircraft until 2,000 hours to 5,000 hours of monitored flight test have been accumulated,\" Gilmore wrote. With that many testing hours, a new warplane traditionally experiences in-flight problems 1,000 times for every 100,000 hours in the air \u2013 an \"abort rate\" that's considered acceptable. At the moment, the F-35 has an abort rate of 3,000 per 100,000 hours. \"A high abort rate correlates to a higher risk of catastrophic failure,\" Gilmore warned.\nTen months of additional testing should drive down the abort rate, give engineers time to fix technical flaws and make the F-35As safe for new pilots, Gilmore advised. But a training delay could push the date of the JSF's combat readiness even farther into the future. Already, the jack-of-all-trades warplane is around five years behind the original schedule, severely disrupting the Pentagon's plans for replacing its 1980s-vintage F-15s, F-16s and F/A-18s.\nThe potential for more delays might help explain the JSF team's response to Gilmore's warning. In a memo dated Oct. 24, Air Force Lt. Gen Thomas Owen and Navy Vice Adm. David Venlet rejected Gilmore's advice. Owen oversees aircraft development for the Air Force; Venlet is in charge of the overall JSF effort. The two flag officers cautioned against any \"disruption ... to the overall program progress.\"\nOwen and Venlet insisted that no F-35 training would take place until the Air Force awarded the certificate \u2013 and that won't happen as long as there are any \"open issues\" regarding the JSF's safety. But the two flag officers still anticipated the certificate would be issued this fall, allowing training to commence.\nOn Oct. 25, Undersecretary of Defense Kendall wrote to Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Norton Schwartz and Air Force Secretary Michael Donley, asking for resolution of the controversy. \"I would appreciate hearing what decision you make,\" Kendall wrote. Presumably, so would the military pilots whose lives will be at stake when they (eventually) climb into their F-35s for training flights.\nPhoto: Lockheed",

Weinreich recounted how in 2010 Qatari officials used espionage and bribery to secure the votes of members of FIFA\u2019s selection committee.\n\u201cThey knew and they studied the family and understood the culture,\u201d Weinreich said. \u201cAlmost all of them are interested in getting a good deal out of it,\u201d he added.\nWeinreich, appearing on a panel at the Middle East Forum\u2019s one-day gathering, \u201cQatar: U.S. Ally or Strategic Threat?,\u201d sketched out a lurid tale involving shady land deals and hardball international politics. His fellow panelists were Nicholas Mayne-Nicholls, a former FIFA official, and Jaimie Fuller, the president of the London-based Foundation for Sports Integrity.\n\u201cIf you think politics has dirty undertones, you should take a look at the world of sport and football,\u201d said Jaimie Fuller, who moderated the discussion. Among the antics the trio said Qatar engaged in were an underhanded agreement to purchase Airbus planes to earn the backing of European FIFA officials, collusion between the emirate and then-FIFA President Sepp Blatter to sideline a rival candidate to lead the soccer federation, and a land sale in which Qatar\u2019s sovereign wealth fund overpaid a FIFA selection committee member for a property in Cyprus.\nFuller outlined other problematic aspects of Qatar\u2019s bid for the World Cup, including the abusive labor practices it has adopted in bringing foreign workers to erect sports facilities and other infrastructure in the thinly-populated emirate. Qatar\u2019s strict oversight of its employees \u2013 which has been compared to a modern form of slavery \u2013 has been condemned by international human rights organizations, including Amnesty International.\nFor his part, Mayne-Nicholls, who vetted the 2022 bid sites in his capacity at FIFA, said Qatar was the least deserving of the nine countries in the running. \u201cThey came in dead last,\u201d he said, having visited all the potential locations for World Cup competitions in 2018 and 2022.\nFIFA has been engulfed in scandal ever since the United States government arrested and prosecuted Blatter and other top FIFA officials in a wide-ranging corruption probe. Qatar, meanwhile, has attracted negative attention for its heavy-handed global influence tactics, which have involved stealing and publishing the emails of Americans and the citizens of other Western countries.\nWhile preparations for the next World Cup are now underway in the Qatari capital of Doha, Fuller said that he thought it was still possible to assign the upcoming World Cup to another country. \u201cI still don\u2019t think it\u2019s too late,\u201d he said.",

        "raw_content": "UK budget surplus goal no longer credible: lawmakers\nLONDON (Reuters) \u2013 British finance minister Philip Hammond\u2019s plan to turn the country\u2019s budget deficit into a surplus in the mid-2020s is no longer credible after he relaxed his grip on public spending last year, British lawmakers said on Tuesday.\nParliament\u2019s Treasury Committee said Hammond\u2019s long-term fiscal goal of getting the public finances into the black had ceased to be meaningful.\n\u201cIt should be replaced before the next budget with something that accurately reflects government policy and priorities, which clearly do not include running a budget surplus,\u201d the committee said ahead of Hammond\u2019s half-yearly budget update on March 13.\nHammond and his predecessor George Osborne have cut Britain\u2019s deficit from a towering 10 percent of gross domestic product in 2010, after the economy was pummeled by the global financial crisis, to just over 1 percent now.\nBut the objective of running a surplus by the mid-2020s looks increasingly hard to reach, as voters demand more spending on public services, prompting Hammond to spend much of an unexpected windfall in October\u2019s budget.\nAn official at the finance ministry said the government was sticking with its long-term fiscal goal and pointed to projections from Britain\u2019s independent budget forecasters which showed it was within touching distance.\nThe Treasury Committee also took Hammond to task for describing a possible economic pick-up after a Brexit divorce agreement as a \u201cdeal dividend,\u201d saying such a scenario would simply spare Britain the shock of an abrupt, no-deal departure from the European Union.\n\u201cBusiness confidence may improve with increased certainty, but it\u2019s not credible to describe this as a dividend,\u201d committee chair Nicky Morgan, from Hammond\u2019s Conservative Party, said.\nPrime Minister Theresa May is holding out for more concessions from the EU in the hope of getting her plan through parliament in time for the scheduled Brexit date of March 29.\nThe committee called on Hammond to provide details to back up his so far \u201cimprecise\u201d announcement that government austerity is coming to an end, and warned that he would soon face \u201cdifficult choices\u201d between higher taxes and higher spending.\nOn Monday, the Institute for Fiscal Studies, a leading think tank, warned that many public services risked ongoing real-terms cuts for years to come.\n(Editing by David Milliken)",

Loss can be defined as anything from farm buildings, equipment, livestock, crops, fences, orchards and vines.\nBut Sandy Chalmers, the state's executive director of the USDA Farm Service Agency, said it may be awhile before damage estimates are known as many farm fields are still under water.\nIt's been a difficult weather year for Wisconsin farmers. Heavy snowfall over much of the state in April delayed spring planting by several weeks and late summer flood damage comes as farmers were preparing for the fall harvest.\nWisconsin Farmers Union president and Westby dairy farmer Darin Von Ruden\u2019s land was affected when the Jersey Valley Dam failed because of heavy rains in late August.\n\"We\u2019re trying to figure out as neighbors who\u2019s going to fix what fence and if we\u2019re even going to fix them at this point and time,\" he said. \"With that dam out, anytime we get any kind of rain at all, we can probably lose the fences.\"\nVon Ruden said corn silage harvest was supposed to begin in mid-September, but if the fields stay wet, it won\u2019t be possible to get the equipment in to harvest. He said there\u2019s a threat that the nutritional value of the silage could be lost.\nVon Ruden added that some farmers in southwestern Wisconsin have been dealing with flooding for three years in a row.\nThe excess moisture has also delayed harvest for some vineyards in Wisconsin.\nJohn Pedretti, owner of Vernon Vineyards, said this year's grape crop has been ahead of schedule thanks to many hot days this summer.\n\"If you don't get after them right when you need to get after them and get them picked and harvested, then there's going to be an awful lot of stuff that's going to start rotting,\" Pedretti said.\nPedretti said his vineyard has seen 18 inches of rain in the last few weeks and all of that excess moisture is starting to throw off the pH level of his grapes.\n\"Basically the grapes\u2019 natural ability to protect itself is going downhill,\" Pedretti said.\nHe said high acid levels will also make it hard for the winery to make a consistent product.\nMonroe County co-operative extension agricultural agent Bill Halfman has fielded calls from many stressed-out farmers in recent days.\n\"There\u2019s been a fair amount of property damage depending on where the farm and the buildings were located and how the water ran down through the valleys,\" Halfman said. \"Some folks are still trying to find all of their livestock that were out on pasture. It\u2019s not come at a good time this fall.\"\nThe damage comes at a time when commodity prices are also depressed. Halfman said the implications for farmers will depend on how good their insurance is and whether or not it will cover the damages their farm sustains.\nOn Thursday, Gov. Scott Walker tweeted the flooding and storms that began Aug. 17 have caused $208.7 million in damage. That includes $98.2 million in damage to homes, $40.8 million in damage to businesses and $69.6 million to public infrastructure.\nOn Wednesday, Dane County estimated it has seen about $155 million in damage.\nRain finally came to a stop Thursday, brining a much needed reprieve to allow water levels to go down, and residents and officials to take stock of damage.\nEditors note: This story was last updated at 4:06 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 6, 2018 with comments from John Pedretti, owner of Vernon Vineyards.\nDarin Von Ruden\nBill Halfman\nFarmers In 13 Wisconsin Counties Suffer Damage From Late Summer Storms\nNewsmakers, December 13, 2018\nNewsmakers, September 13, 2018\nMississippi River Mayors Take Collective Approach To Flooding",

        "raw_content": "If you\u2019ve looked at your Companies Office registration since December 2013 you\u2019ll have seen that (without having to do anything) your company now has a 13 digit New Zealand Business Number (NZBN) as well as its usual company registration number. The Companies Office allocated the NZBN to all New Zealand companies as part of the Government\u2019s Better Public Services programme. Ultimately, the NZBN system is designed to apply to all businesses and government agencies and assist them in interacting efficiently, although currently the NZBN only applies to limited liability companies.\nThe 13 digit NZBN is derived from GSI NZ, a not-for-profit organisation. The Government has purchased 10 million Global Position Numbers using the GS1 global number standards for issue by it, not by GSI NZ. The NZBN primarily identifies the business or entity. When used for New Zealand limited liability companies the first two digits are 94, identifying the company as a New Zealand entity, the next ten digits are the business entity id and the last digit is a system check.\nLooking ahead, the rationale for the NZBN is to remove the need for New Zealand business entities to have separate accounts with Government agencies so that across their data bases the business will have a common identifier. As a company updates its details for the purposes of one data base it will automatically update other Government data bases. The NZBN is a first step in that direction but is limited. Taking the IRD as an example, the NZBN only applies to companies not other business taxpayers and it does not replace IRD, GST and ACC numbers.\nGlobalisation is forcing an extension of information sharing between Government departments and agencies in New Zealand and internationally. With the continuing expansion of electronic communications across all media, this trend can only continue, with the NZBN being simply the first step towards one number fitting all business operators whatever entity or form that they may use.\nAround half of New Zealand businesses are sole traders, partnerships and trusts. Legislative change is needed to extend the NZBN to these other entities. Some of the questions the Government is seeking feedback on include:\nCompanies already have an NZBN. Who else should have one?\nWhat information should be public? Why?\nWhat should happen to the NZBN if a business is sold?\nAre there reasons why NZBN information should not automatically be available to government agencies you deal with?\nConsultation opens on 11 March 2014 and closes at 5pm on Friday, 11 April 2014.

        "raw_content": "Int\u2019l Distributors Harness Regional Expertise to Broaden Horizon for Manufacturers\nAlex Henderson Nov 3, 2017\nThe sex toys/pleasure products sector of the adult industry is thriving not only in the United States and Canada, but in many different parts of the world \u2014 and companies that create or manufacture erotic toys are forming alliances with distributors and retailers internationally. A company might have a U.S. or Canadian address, but maximizing profits often means seeking partnerships in Europe, Latin America and Japan as well as Australia and New Zealand.\nMichael Bassett, managing director of the Australian distributor LonBrook, stressed that pleasure product manufacturers seeking to broaden their scope internationally must have savvy allies in the markets they are hoping to penetrate.\nSucceeding in your own country is one thing, but tapping into international markets is a whole new ballgame.\n\u201cIf the manufacturer doesn\u2019t have the strategy to open their own subsidiary companies internationally, then they require competent local partners,\u201d Bassett told XBIZ. \u201cDistributors/importers/agents all survive financially, depending on their abilities to sell other people\u2019s products in their local territory. They are chosen because of their track record and ability, and that performance is constantly monitored by both parties. That\u2019s the beauty of non-contractual relationships: if it\u2019s not working, it\u2019s quite easy and reasonably painless to move apart again \u2014 unlike a divorce.\u201d\nModern digital technology, Bassett added, has made it easier than ever for pleasure product manufacturers to network with distributors in different parts of the world \u2014 although they should still make a point of attending trade shows, he advised.\n\u201cThere is nothing better than the face to face to establish trust and worthiness; then, it\u2019s phone calls, Skype and e-mail,\u201d Bassett explained. \u201cThis business doesn\u2019t rely on written contracts, and it\u2019s become rather competitive; so, regular communication is key \u2014 and at least one annual meeting in person is desirable. The trade shows offer a wonderful opportunity to meet personally and also, view products and strategize. Highly recommended.\u201d\nBased in the Netherlands, Eropartner Distribution has provided European distribution for many North American manufacturers. And Chris Bakker, Eropartner\u2019s CEO, emphasized that it is crucial for manufacturers who want to broaden their reach in European countries to ally themselves with companies that know Europe inside and out.\n\u201cThe stores need promotional materials to promote the product and explain the concept,\u201d Bakker told XBIZ. \u201cIt is important to create a demand for the product. In Europe, we as a distributor are using several tools to create that demand. We know our market very well. Most important is to have a product that is unique, innovative and that a certain target group is willing to buy \u2014 and that satisfies their needs.\u201d\nBakker added, \u201cWe meet at trade shows in person, face to face. On a regular basis, we have Skype and/or telephone meetings \u2014 and, of course, 1,000 emails. Our online platform, called VendorPlaza, gives insights in the commercial results, forecasts, returns and sales channels.\u201d\nLooking ahead to 2018, Bakker predicted that director James Foley\u2019s film adaptation of British author E.L. James\u2019 \u201cFifty Shades Freed\u201d \u2014 the third film in the BDSM-themed \u201cFifty Shades of Grey\u201d series \u2014 will be great for the sex toys/pleasure products market internationally.\n\u201cThe third \u2018Fifty Shades of Grey\u2019 movie is coming out early next year,\u201d Bakker noted. \u201c\u2018Fifty Shades\u2019 has had a big influence in the last years and will still have in 2018. We will see more and more virtual reality and app-controlled products.\u201d\nRaj Armani, co-founder and COO of IMBesharam.com (which caters to the Indian market), asserted that building relationships in other parts of the world has been an important factor in the company\u2019s success.\n\u201cWe were able to advance our philosophy of American brands for Indian hands by partnering up with local influencers and logistics providers and extending free shipping from the U.S. to India \u2014 a service unheard of from international merchants \u2014 all in an effort to win the hearts of the audience,\u201d Armani told XBIZ. \u201cThat helped us build not just a store, but a story of success in waters treaded by few and trust earned of a nation with the largest middle class in the world.\u201d\nThe Flensburg, Germany-based Orion Wholesale has been in business for more than 30 years \u2014 and Hake Christiansen, Orion\u2019s senior key account manager, noted that internationally, the sex toys/pleasure products sector has come a long way since the 1980s and 1990s.\n\u201cThe consumers are more open to sex toys,\u201d Christiansen told XBIZ. \u201cThe mid-life and the younger generations like to have some additional kicks for their sex lives \u2014 for example, with toys, which both can use together. The market is still growing. Love toys have been developed to a much higher level.\u201d\nChristiansen added, \u201cToday, it is much easier than 30 years ago, as we have Skype, email, etc. But we see the manufacturers a few times personally during the year.\u201d\nNicola Relph, owner of AdultToyMegastore \u2014 which distributes pleasure products in Australia and New Zealand \u2014 asserted that in 2017, it is imperative for manufacturers to be tech-savvy on a global scale.\n\u201cPerhaps one of the greatest aspects of the 21st century is the technology that is available to us,\u201d Relph told XBIZ. \u201cThe internet is a powerful device and enables AdultToyMegastore \u2014 which is based in New Zealand at the bottom of the world \u2014 to reach customers worldwide. Having a user-friendly website that makes the browsing and purchasing process as pleasurable as possible for customers is paramount. On top of this, your logistics need to be perfect.

        "raw_content": "Katki\u0161k\u0117s Estate\nLazdijai, Lazdijai County, Seiniai District, Lithuania\nTo enlarge the map click here Lazdijai, Lithuania, Gathering in the main Synagogue for celebtation the Day of Independence of Lithuania, 1930 YVA,Photo Collection, 8758/1\nJews first settled in Lazdijai around 1690. In the mid-19th century they comprised approximately 60 percent of the total population. Fires in the town resulted in the destruction of many of the houses and community buildings, causing a deterioration in the economic situation of the local Jews.\nDuring World War I Russian commanders blamed the Jews who lived in border regions, including in Lazdijai, for Russian losses allegedly caused by Jewish aid to the German enemy. As a consequence, in 1915 the Jews of the town were expelled from their homes, which were then looted.\nAfter the war, when the Jews returned to their homes in the newly independent Lithuania, Lazdijai had 1,141 Jews, who comprised 48 percent of the population. The main Jewish occupations were commerce, crafts, agriculture, and fishing. In the 1930s the economic situation of the Jews declined due to antisemitic propaganda spread by groups of Lithuanian merchants and also to the disruption of commercial connections with territories that had been recently become part of Poland. The economic situation led many young Jews to move to Kovno or to emigrate across the ocean.\nThe town had a people\u2019s bank that aided Jews in Lazdijai, a Hebrew school that was part of the Yavneh religious school network, a Jewish public library, as well as Zionist youth groups and branches of the Jewish sports groups Maccabi and Hapoel.\nIn the fall of 1939 the town took in 150 Jewish refugees from Suwa\u0140ki in Poland after the Germans conquered the western part of the country.\nAfter the annexation of Lithuania to the Soviet Union in the summer of 1940, the middle class in Lazdijai, a large part of which was Jewish, suffered from the nationalization of factories and shops. The Zionist parties and youth movements in the town were disbanded and the Jewish school was closed.\nOn June 22, 1941 the German army occupied Lazdijai. The Lithuanian committee that then controlled the town ordered the local Jews to be confined in two barracks that had been built under Soviet rule. Those Jews who were suspected of sympathizing with the Soviets were sent to Marijampole and killed there. On September 15, 1941 the remaining Jews were ordered to move to the ghetto set up on the Katki\u0161kes estate located a kilometer and a half from the town. On November 3, 1941 the Germans ordered the Jews to be removed from the ghetto barracks. The Jews were taken to nearby pits, where they were killed by Lithuanians.\nThe Red Army liberated Lazdijai in the summer of 1944.",

        "raw_content": "India continues to rank below Pakistan, other neighbours on Inclusive Development Index\nIndia was on Monday ranked at the 62nd place among emerging economies on an Inclusive Development Index.\nDavos: India was on Monday ranked at the 62nd place among emerging economies on an Inclusive Development Index, much below China's 26th position and Pakistan's 47th. Norway remains the world's most inclusive advanced economy, while Lithuania again tops the list of emerging economies, the World Economic Forum (WEF) said while releasing the yearly index in Davos before the start of its annual meeting, to be attended by several world leaders including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump.\nThe index takes into account the \"living standards, environmental sustainability and protection of future generations from further indebtedness\", the WEF said. It urged the leaders to urgently move to a new model of inclusive growth and development, saying reliance on GDP as a measure of economic achievement is fuelling short-termism and inequality.\nIndia was ranked 60th among 79 developing economies last year, as against China's 15th and Pakistan's 52nd position.\nThe 2018 index, which measures progress of 103 economies on three individual pillars -- growth and development; inclusion; and inter-generational equity -- has been divided into two parts. The first part covers 29 advanced economies and the second 74 emerging economies.\nThe index has also classified the countries into five sub-categories in terms of the five-year trend of their overall Inclusive Development Growth score -- receding, slowly receding, stable, slowly advancing and advancing.\nDespite its low overall score, India is among the ten emerging economies with 'advancing' trend. Only two advanced economies have shown 'advancing' trend.\nAmong advanced economies, Norway is followed by Ireland, Luxembourg, Switzerland and Denmark in the top five. Small European economies dominate the top of the index, with Australia (9) the only non-European economy in the top 10. Of the G7 economies, Germany (12) ranks the highest. It is followed by Canada (17), France (18), the UK (21), the US (23), Japan (24) and Italy (27).\nThe top-five most inclusive emerging economies are Lithuania, Hungary, Azerbaijan, Latvia and Poland.\nPerformance is mixed among BRICS economies, with the Russian Federation ranking 19th, followed by China (26), Brazil (37), India (62) and South Africa (69).\nOf the three pillars that make up the index, India ranks 72nd for inclusion, 66th for growth and development and 44th for inter-generational equity.\nThe neighbouring countries ranked above India include Sri Lanka (40), Bangladesh (34) and Nepal (22). The countries ranked better than India also include Mali, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Ghana, Ukraine, Serbia, Philippines, Indonesia, Iran, Macedonia, Mexico, Thailand and Malaysia.\nAlthough China ranks first among emerging economies in GDP per capita growth (6.8 per cent) and labour productivity growth (6.7 per cent) since 2012, its overall score is brought down by lacklustre performance on inclusion, the WEF said.\nIt found that decades of prioritising economic growth over social equity has led to historically high levels of wealth and income inequality and caused governments to miss out on a virtuous circle in which growth is strengthened by being shared more widely and generated without unduly straining the environment or burdening future generations.\nExcessive reliance by economists and policy-makers on Gross Domestic Product as the primary metric of national economic performance is part of the problem, the WEF said.\nThe GDP measures current production of goods and services rather than the extent to which it contributes to broad socio-economic progress as manifested in median household income, employment opportunity, economic security and quality of life, it added.\nThe WEF also said that rich and poor countries alike are struggling to protect future generations, as it cautioned political and business leaders against expecting higher growth to be a panacea for the social frustrations, including those of younger generations who have shaken the politics of many countries in recent years.\nInclusive Development IndexWorld Economic ForumIndian economyIndiaPakistanChinaNepalBangladesh\nBJP, RSS hell-bent on changing Constitution, alleges Congress in new video",

        "title": "1.B: Gary LaFree (University of Maryland), \"Nine Myths About Terrorism Part 1\" - Module 1: How Do We Study Terrorism? | Coursera",
        "raw_content": "1.B: Gary LaFree (University of Maryland), \"Nine Myths About Terrorism Part 1\"\nHi, my name is Gary LaFree.\nI'm the director of the START Center.\nAnd in these two, next two lectures,\nI want to talk about what I call nine myths about terrorism.\nWhat I'm talking about here is myth in the everyday sense of\nsomething that's not shown to be true by empirical or scientific evidence.\nAnd in this two lectures, what I really want to do is talk about how\nwe get images of what terrorism is, largely from the media.\nAnd the fact that terrorist cases often attract a huge amount of attention,\nsometimes even international attention, but then when you actually look at\nterrorism cases carefully and you look a large number of them,\nyour images may be quite different, that the stereotypes may not hold up.\nNow to look at a large number of cases, we're going to rely on a database that is\nsupported here by the START Center, called the Global Terrorism Database, or the GTD.\nIt contains now, up through 2012, going back to 1970,\nit now contains over 113,000 terrorist attacks from everywhere around the world.\nIn fact, the goal of the GTD is to collect every single terrorist attack that happens\nanywhere on the planet overtime, which we've been struggling very hard to do.\nNow, why do we use these stereotypes?\nWhy do stereotypes have such an important impact?\nSAS, Nassim Taleb, defines an event as a Black Swan incident, if it falls outside\nthe realm of regular expectations, has a high impact, and defies expectations.\nThe term is based on the observation that before they visited Australia,\nEuropeans had assumed that all swans were white.\nAn assumption that actually fit their actual experience,\nuntil visitors arrived in Australia and were able to witness black swans.\nTaleb claims that the coordinated attacks of 9/11\nare a perfect example of a Black Swan Event because they were unexpected, they\nhad a huge impact on history, and they were very difficult to predict in advance.\nSo, when we talk about how stereotypes could affect our images of terrorism and\nmaybe give us incorrect assumptions about terrorism,\nthis Black Swan idea sort of fits in, that black swans can have a huge impact,\neven though they're not typical at all of the underlying reality.\nSo what I want to do in the next two lectures is talk a little bit about\nsome of the ideas we get, stereotypes we get, really,\nbecause of the black swan nature of terrorist attacks.\nAnd then compare those stereotypes to what we find if we look in much greater detail\nat how those attacks,\nhow many attacks around the world have happened, going all the way back to 1970.\nAnd by the way, this phenomenon, I think, is not just true for terrorism.\nIt's true for lots of criminal actions.\nlike a very well publicized homicide may result in all kinds of changes to a law,\neven though this homicide is not at all typical of all homicides that occur.\nAnd now, in order to break this lecture up, I'm going to talk about five myths\nthis time, and then during a follow up lecture, I'll talk about four other myths.\nIf we talk about the first of these myths, I would say it's this, that\nterrorist attacks were rapidly increasing in the years leading up to 9/11.\nIf you think about all the publicity generated by an attack like 9/11,\nit's easy to think that it was representing a kind of big upsurge,\na big upswing in terrorist attacks.\nAnd it was maybe the most pronounced of these attacks.\nAnd by the way, I'm going to be talking about 9/11 as an example,\nbut lots of other countries have their 9/11's, as well.\nSo for example, the London attacks some years ago on the metro system and\non the tube, the attacks on the train system in Madrid,\nthe Mumbai coordinated attacks, the recent attack in Oslo,\nall of these attacks, which have generated a huge amount of publicly,\ncan have a kind of Black Swam effect.\nIn other words, they contribute to our stereotypes about terrorism,\neven though when you look at more ordinary run of the mill cases,\nthey may not quite live up to these stereotypes.\nOkay, so, what about this idea that terrorist attacks were rapidly increasing\nin the years before 9/11.\nIf we look at the first slide, we see that, in fact,\nthe reality is quite different than this.\nAccording to our data, terrorist attacks actually reached their 20th century high\npoint not in the years leading up to 9/11, but actually in a much more recent period,\nand in fact, there was a major increase in terrorist attacks in 1992,\njust after the collapse of the Soviet Union.\nTotal attacks the year before 9/11 were actually at about the same level as they\nhad been in the mid-1970s.\nIn fact, in the four years prior to 9/11,\nworldwide terrorist attacks were at their lowest level in about 20 years.\nSince 9/11, you can also see that attacks have again been increasing dramatically,\nso that the end of the series is setting new records, and this is,\nI think, going to be the case, as we move forward as well.\nOkay, myth number two.\nTerrorist attacks reach every corner of the world.\nThe fact that we live in such an interconnected world, where we get a media\npresence, even in relatively isolated and faraway places, gives us the impression\nthat terrorism is happening everywhere and that it could happen anywhere.\nHowever, when we really look at the data, if we look at the GTD data, for example,\nwe can see that, in fact, terrorist attacks tend to be highly concentrated.\nAnd this is true for lots of different types of crime, as well.\nThis blanket media coverage then gives us the incorrect\nidea that no place on the planet is really safe.\nBut in fact, our analysis of the GTD indicates that terrorist attacks\nhappen in relatively few places.\nFor example, the top ten countries, in terms of terrorist attacks, account for\nnearly half of all terrorist activity in the world since 1970.\nWell, it means about 5% of all countries in the world account for\nmore than 50% of all terrorists attacks.\nIf we look at 10% of the countries of the world, it accounts for\n75% of the world's terrorist attacks.\nSo, terrorism tends to be, in fact, highly concentrated.\nAnd there are many parts of the world where you are very unlikely to experience\nMyth number three.\nis more frequently targeted by terrorists than any other country in the world.\nAnd this one applies especially to 9/11 because it did receive so much publicity.\nAnd not just in the United States, but in many parts of the world.\nI think all of us would wish that we had received a dollar for\nevery time we've seen the horrifying image of\nfully loaded jet airplanes crashing into the Twin Towers.\nIt's become such a ubiquitous image that it's hard to get it out of your mind.\nBut when we use the GTT to actually examine the frequency of attacks, and\nthe number of fatalities by country, we find that the U.S. ranks about 14th in\nthe world, in terms of total attacks, and about 16th, in terms of total fatalities.\nThe most frequently attacked country in our data set is Colombia,\nand the country with the most terrorist fatalities is Iraq.\nAnd in fact, while the U.S. ranked 16th, in terms of total fatalities, a big chunk\nof this is due to a simple, one event, the 9/11 attacks, responsible for\nsomething like 90% of total U.S. terrorism over the period we covered.\nIf you take these attacks from out of the estimates, U.S.\nfatalities from terrorism are similar to fatalities for, say, Canada or Greece.\nMyth number four.\nMost terrorists attacks involve disgruntled groups and\nindividuals from one country attacking civilians in another country.\nWe think again about the 9/11 attacks, or for that matter, some of the other high\nprofile recent attacks, like those in Mumbai and Madrid and London.\nThey often involve a situation where individuals from one country\ncome to do serious damage to another country.\nSo, they are what we might call international attacks.\nBut, how common are these international attacks?\nWell, actually, as researchers,\nit's been very difficult to figure this out until quite recently because\nnone of the major databases that have studied terrorism, until pretty recently,\ndistinguished between domestic and international attacks.\nIn fact, the GTD is one of the first databases that actually includes\nboth international and domestic attacks going back a long period of time.\nIn an analysis that my colleagues and\nI did, looking at terrorist attacks in the GTD,\nwe found that a very large proportion of attacks in the GTD involve,\nin fact, domestic assailants, domestic groups, attacking domestic targets.\nIn the study we did,\nwe concentrated on 52 foreign terrorist groups that were identified by the U.S.\nState Department as posing an especially great threats to the U.S. Security System.\nBased on the GTD data, we found that more than 90% of the 17,000\nattacks that were attributed to these groups were actually domestic attacks.\nSo that means nine times out of ten,\nthese groups operated at home against local targets.\nThis means that, for example, a group originating in, say Pakistan,\nwas attacking a Pakistani organization or an individual in Pakistan, so an entirely\ndomestic event, and this wasn't a random sample of cases in the GTD.\nIt was a group of terrorist organizations that had a special interest or\nmotive perhaps for attacking the United States and even among this group,\nit was fairly rare for them to actually do this.\nMost of the attacks were actually domestic,\nhappening in their own country against citizens from their own country.\nMyth number five.\nTerrorism is unrelated to traditional political grievances.\nIf you take an attack like 9/11, which seem to be so irrational, which seem to\nhave the characteristics of nothing that could of been done to negotiate or\nto prevent it, where the goals of the perpetrators were not even entirely clear,\nit's easy to think that all attacks have\npolitical grievances that are hard to sort out.\nIn the next slide, however, we show the top ten terrorist organizations in the GTD\nAnd what's really striking about this top 12, or top 10 chart, is how\nmany of these organizations actually have a pretty specific political agenda.\nMostly, this agenda involves having access to some land for some particular group.\nIt could be an organization such as ETA, that wants its own homeland in\na particular part of Spain and France, or it could be an organization like the FMLN,\nthat's trying to take over an entire country for a particular group.\nBut nonetheless, they tend to have fairly specific political agendas,\noften based on the idea of trying to develop a homeland for a particular group.\nSo, in fact, these do not seem to be unrelated to political grievances,\nbut in fact, are very political.\nSo, I'm going to conclude here, and\nI'm going to talk about the four other myths in the next lecture.",

        "title": "Marihuana: The Weed with Roots in Hell",
        "raw_content": "Marihuana: The Weed with Roots in Hell/Marihuana (1936) **\u00bd\nDwaine Esper, like most roadshow exploitationeers of the 30\u2019s and 40\u2019s, was a master of slipping things under the radar. The main trick, of course, was to sell sleaze under the twin disguises of education and public service, but in at least one instance, Esper strikingly subverted not only the censorship authorities of his day, but also the conventions of the genre within which he was operating, and presumably the expectations of his intended audience as well. It isn\u2019t that Marihuana: The Weed with Roots in Hell skimped on the lurid sensationalism (in fact, it offers significantly more luridness that such famous contemporaries as Reefer Madness and The Cocaine Fiends), but rather than it sneaks in an unexpected degree of honesty about its subject, even while paying lip-service to the usual shrill pot-panic line. For despite its title, and although it is at pains to include the standard hysterical opening crawl and mocked-up newspaper headlines linking its protagonist\u2019s slide into depravity to her marijuana use, the action and dialogue of the film just as explicitly paint pot-smoking as a trivial factor, putting the real blame on a combination of family neglect and much more genuinely dangerous drugs. It also treats the mechanics of the drug trade in a far more credible manner than any other contemporary exploitation movie I\u2019ve seen, emphasizing its nature as a business, illegal though it may be. Watching it, you get the impression that Esper might actually have known a thing or two about how all this stuff really worked.\nThat neglectful family I mentioned is a well-heeled clan by the name of Roberts, although just how neglectful they are is very much a matter of perspective. The elder daughter, Elaine (Dorothy Dehn), is doted on by her parents, and from the way Mom (Juanita Fletcher) carries on, you\u2019d think Elaine\u2019s impending marriage to another society scion named Morgan Stewart (Polygamy\u2019s Richard Erskine) were the only thing that mattered in the entire world. Among the things that implicitly don\u2019t matter is Elaine\u2019s little sister, Burma (Harley Wood), and the younger girl has responded to the systemic slight in the time-honored manner of attention-starved teenagers everywhere\u2014 by courting trouble as assiduously as her imagination and circumstances will permit. Her boyfriend, Dick Collier (Hugh McArthur), despite both high aspirations and what look like reasonable prospects of eventually realizing them, comes from a much poorer family than Burma\u2019s, and seems unlikely ever to be accepted anywhere near as warmly by her parents as Morgan. Burma routinely uses imaginary study dates with a friend as alibis to cover extended bar-crawls with Dick and his somewhat disreputable associates. (That would have been perfectly legal, too, in 1936, when most states set their drinking ages at eighteen or even sixteen.) On one such occasion, she has her first meeting with Tony Santello (La Voluntad del Muerto\u2019s Paul Ellis) and Nicky Romero (Pat Carlyle), two men who are fated to transform her life completely. Tony and Nicky (both of them a good fifteen years older than Burma and her friends are supposed to be\u2014 but inevitably ten years or less older than the actors playing the teenagers) overhear Burma and another girl lamenting the fact that their boyfriends\u2019 wallets have run dry after only two rounds of drinks, and they send a waiter over to refill the kids\u2019 glasses at their table. Dick gratefully invites Tony to join them, and when the conversation turns to the question of a venue for the party the teens would like to throw on Saturday, the older man volunteers his own house. Obviously this guy is up to something, but Dick, Burma, and the rest of the teens are too na\u00efve to recognize or worry about that.\nIt turns out to be quite a shindig. Tony lives in a great, big place right on the beach, and the kids with whom he was drinking the other night manage to round up a sufficiently large mob of teens to fill it up quite cozily despite its size. Furthermore, the house is well stocked with both beer and whiskey, and Tony turns out to be even more magnanimous with his own booze than he was with the bar\u2019s. By the time all the hotdogs that were the official excuse for the gathering have been consumed, everybody\u2014 with the notable exception of Tony and Nicky\u2014 is comfortably blitzed. That\u2019s when Tony stealthily retrieves a bundle of home-rolled cigarettes from their hiding place behind a loose hearthstone, and lays them out on the counter with all the liquor; the two adults then withdraw discreetly to the second floor. The drunkest of the girls\u2014 who seems to have at least some idea what the non-standard smokes really are\u2014 lights up, and begins handing out joints to all of her friends. Before you know it, the girls are all splashing around naked in the surf (and being chased up and down the beach by their still fully clothed\u2014 as in, ties and everything\u2014 boyfriends), while Dick and Burma enjoy a good boff under Tony\u2019s back porch. The fun is brought to a crashing halt, though, when a girl named Joan swims out farther than she\u2019s capable of handling in her impaired state, and drowns. Playing once again upon the teens\u2019 naivety, Tony convinces them all that they have more to fear from exposure of the night\u2019s events than he does, and talks them into letting him deal with Joan. According to the next morning\u2019s newspapers, Joan\u2019s body merely washed up on Tony\u2019s property; the girl had presumably stuck around to swim for a bit following the weenie roast further down the beach the preceding afternoon.\nJoan\u2019s death is not the only serious consequence of the party at Tony\u2019s place. Burma misses her period a month later, and tells Dick that they will have to get married at once. Dick is up for it, but he has neither money nor a job, having intended to put off entering the workforce until after college. Burma shrewdly suggests that he approach Tony for a loan, hinting without putting it in so many words that the unexpected pregnancy is as much the dope-peddler\u2019s problem as it is theirs\u2014 after all, they were at his beach house, high on his weed, when they got Burma knocked up. Tony seems to agree with that assessment, for although he professes to have no cash to spare just now, he does offer Dick a job. Santello has some merchandise coming in at the docks in a couple of days, and he needs a few men to pick it up for him. What Tony neglects to mention is that he also has business rivals. A bunch of them are there to greet Dick and the rest of the pickup crew at pierside, packing all kinds of heat. The gangsters open fire on the unprepared mules, and while Dick\u2019s injuries are not immediately fatal, he bleeds out well before an opportunity to sneak by the gunmen presents itself. In a grimly ironic twist, the shooting occurs on the very same morning as Elaine and Morgan\u2019s wedding.\nWe\u2019ve already seen reason to believe that Burma is quite a bit tougher and more streetwise than she looks, so it isn\u2019t too big a surprise when she arranges a confrontation with Tony a short while later. And although she proclaims her intention of turning Santello in to the police, the very fact that she\u2019s telling him about it suggests that it\u2019s not justice, but blackmail, that the girl has on her mind. In any case, Tony quickly slips into negotiation mode, offering to send Burma away somewhere to have her baby in secret in exchange for her silence about his role in everything that has gone sour in Burma\u2019s life recently. As Tony explains, there are lots of rich but impatient couples eager to adopt, but unwilling to wait in line for the privilege. Tony and Nicky will see to it that Burma\u2019s kid finds a good home, and that no social disgrace will fall upon the Roberts family due to her behavior. Burma not only accepts Tony\u2019s bargain, but eventually takes him as her lover; he, in turn, makes her a partner to all his illegal doings\u2014 not just his pot sales, but the heroin and cocaine, too. Over time, she acquires a taste not only for hard drugs, but for the easy and copious money that crime brings her, and she eventually proves herself so good at breaking the law that she supplants Tony as the mastermind of the operation. Then one day, a random encounter with her sister inspires her with a scheme to pull in enough cash that even the heroin revenue will look like small change in comparison, and to take up an old grudge while she\u2019s at it. She and her accomplices are going to kidnap Elaine\u2019s preschool-age daughter and hold her for ransom.\nYou see what I mean about Marihuana: The Weed with Roots in Hell being far removed from the standard 30\u2019s drug-panic movie? The title notwithstanding, marijuana is at most a sideline here, figuring in the rowdy party that sets up everybody\u2019s downfall, but then vanishing almost completely from the main story. That party, meanwhile, is played less for absurdly exaggerated pot shenanigans (although it certainly has plenty of those) than for sheer misjudgement on the part of the teenage characters. I won\u2019t go so far as to call what happens at Tony\u2019s house realistic, but it is not completely beyond the bounds of plausibility in the manner of so many other contemporary dopesploitation flicks. Get a bunch of eighteen-year-olds together with a bunch of alcohol, a bunch of weed, and no meaningful supervision, and there is indeed some chance that they\u2019ll have impromptu skinny-dipping parties, get each other pregnant, or get themselves killed\u2014 even if it\u2019s statistically very unlikely that they\u2019ll do all of those things at once. It\u2019s also worth noting that nobody involved is instantly transformed into a pot-addled menace to society. It takes Burma years to become \u201cthe Ice Queen of the Snow Peddlers,\u201d and heroin is plainly her drug of choice by that point, anyway. What makes this doubly interesting is the cynical way in which Esper continues to talk up the marijuana angle, no matter how irrelevant to the plot it becomes. Burma\u2019s rise to the status of underworld royalty is depicted by a montage of drugs and money changing hands while newspaper headlines rant and rave, but although those headlines invariably refer to the marijuana trade specifically, the packages Burma hands over to her customers plainly contain something else of higher price, potency, and destructiveness. Additionally, Burma\u2019s death (what\u2014 like you didn\u2019t see that coming?) is unmistakably of a smack overdose (she shoots up not two minutes earlier), but the final shot is of her lying inert amid a drift of reefers! It\u2019s like Esper is winking at the savvier members of the audience, slyly acknowledging the absurdity of the 30\u2019s pot scare even as he cashes in on it for all it\u2019s worth. While it has very little to offer from any normal artistic perspective, Marihuana: The Weed with Roots in Hell earns my startled respect for its creator\u2019s clearly signposted duplicity.",

        "raw_content": "Our Financial Strategy is to enhance the financial position of the Airport Authority.\nTotal revenue by fiscal year\nEvery decision we make at the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority is intended to advance at least one of our core organizational strategies: Financial, Customer, Community, Employee or Operational. Although all of the strategies are vitally important to carrying out our mission, one strategy \u2013 financial \u2013 serves as the bedrock for all the others.\nWithout a carefully thought-out and well-executed strategy that enhances the financial position of the Airport Authority, none of our goals related to the other strategies can be realized.\nWith that in mind, here is a list of 2015 successes related to our financial strategy:\nRecent air service additions have led to increased revenues that support the organization\u2019s financial health. When a route is performing well, it further incentivizes airlines to expand.\nInnovative marketing solutions, such as the parking card incentive program, have spurred growth in parking revenues over the last quarter.\nThe Airport Authority received its seventh consecutive \u201cclean\u201d audit. It was the 10th clean audit in the past 12 years. The most recent audit showed no material weaknesses, which is another testament to our financial stability.\nAnyone who would question the financial strength of the Airport Authority need look no further than our strong A+ credit rating, which we\u2019ve maintained while incurring over $1.3 billion of debt to fund our capital improvement program.\nAll of this has resulted in multiple years of awards, with the Airport Authority earning recognition for Excellence in Procurement, Financial Reporting, Budgeting, Debt Policy, and Investment Policy.\nMoving forward, it is essential to continue building upon this success. There are many unknowns that will affect the business in the future \u2013 industry changes, disruptive technology, evolving financial reporting standards, economic volatility, geopolitical events, regulatory changes, human capital needs \u2013 but by supporting innovation and driving tactful initiatives, the organization can achieve its mission without compromising its ability to remain a financially enduring and resilient enterprise.\nAir Service Development underpins one of our most important strategies \u2013 forging connections between San Diego and the world. We know that regional economic competitiveness relies on efficient air transportation to domestic and global markets.\nSan Diego International Airport\u2019s (SAN) network of nonstop air service is constantly evolving. By this summer, we will offer nonstop service to 60 destinations.\nSAN has attracted 12 new passenger flights over the past two years to important destinations for business and leisure travelers, including Kona, HI; Dallas, Chicago, Houston and Denver. Other new nonstops to be added in 2016 include Vancouver, Milwaukee, Stockton, El Paso and San Jose.\nWhile attracting new air service, especially international, is highly competitive, SAN is convincing airlines that we have the demand. For example, our daily British Airways flights to London are 87 percent full, on average, compared to an average of 84 percent for all British Airways flights from the U.S. to London. That kind of route validation plants the seeds for expanded opportunities.\nAnd we are always looking ahead. Domestically, we will continue to monitor opportunities for nonstop service to places such as Washington (National), Norfolk, Indianapolis, Raleigh, Tampa and Spokane.\nInternationally, our current nonstop destinations include London, Tokyo, Mexico and Canada. We are targeting additional service to Europe, Central and South America, and China in the medium term.\nExpanding our air service adds fuel to the economic engine that is SAN. The San Diego Tourism Authority estimates that domestic flights bring a total $30 million annual impact, and the JAL nonstop to Tokyo alone brings in $90 million in annual impact.\nGrowing our air service grows our revenues, supporting our ability to forge even more connections. That can be seen in the record 20 million passengers SAN served in 2015.\nThe 2015 total represents a 7 percent increase over 2014. SAN also posted record-breaking passenger totals in 2014.\n\u201cCrossing the 20-million-pasenger threshold is an important and meaningful milestone,\u201d said Thella F. Bowens, President/CEO of the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority. \u201cBut more important is the fact that the airport has seen consistent and sustainable growth in the post-recession years.\u201d\nIn another important category, SAN set a record for total enplanements, or departing passengers, in 2015 with just over 10 million; a 7 percent increase over the previous record set in 2014.\nSAN also served nearly 700,000 international passengers in 2015, an increase over 2014 of nearly 4 percent.\nBowens attributed the increases to a number of factors, including the improved economy and robust tourism industry.\nSAN also set a new record for air carrier operations \u2013 flights with more than 60 seats \u2013 with nearly 165,000 flights. The previous record for this category was set in 2008. This is indicative of the airline industry\u2019s trend away from smaller, propeller-driven aircraft in favor of larger jets on short-haul routes, such as San Diego-Los Angeles.\nDetailed reports of SAN air traffic statistics are available at www.san.org/News/Air-Traffic-Reports.\nThe $316 million facility generated approximately 4,600 construction jobs. About $186 million in construction contracts went to local businesses, with $70.4 million of that going to small businesses.\nSan Diego International Airport officially opened in 1928 on a plot of land by San Diego Bay, and 88 years later, it\u2019s still in the same location. Today, SAN is the busiest single-runway airport in the nation on a footprint of just 661 acres.\nThere is no immediate opportunity to expand or relocate the airport. So we have to look at everything through the prism of sustainability. That means building not just bigger, but smarter.\nIn 2015, the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority Board and the California Coastal Commission green-lit the design and construction of a long-anticipated parking plaza adjacent to Terminal 2, which will provide 3,000 much-needed, close-in parking spaces.\nThe Airport Authority has also revamped the north side of SAN, opening the Economy Lot at the corner of Pacific Highway and Washington Street, offering travelers the lowest parking rate among on-airport lots at $13/day; and collaborated with Signature Flight Support on a new general aviation complex that features a cutting-edge 19,000-square-foot terminal, 250,000-square-foot ramp and five hangars.\nBut the crowning achievement on the north side is the new consolidated Rental Car Center, which officially opened in January 2016.\nThe 2-million-square-foot Rental Car Center houses most of the rental car companies serving the airport, including national brands, as well as local, independent and small business rental car companies, in one central location off Pacific Highway. Fourteen rental car company brands are operating out of the facility, which can accommodate up to 19 brands in total. The facility has room for more than 5,000 cars.\nThe new facility replaces the group of buildings on Harbor Drive that have for years housed most rental car companies serving the airport. In a related change, all rental car customers are now carried to and from the terminals in 16 \u2013 soon to be 25 \u2013 new shuttles owned and operated by the Airport Authority. This fleet replaces the approximately 81 shuttles previously operated by the rental car companies. The new shuttle buses will operate almost exclusively on a new interior airport roadway.\nThe building, which is a candidate for LEED Silver certification, also features three new works of public art, with a fourth expected to debut at the end of 2016.\nThe next master-planning phase at SAN is the Airport Development Plan. This will identify the best way to replace the aging Terminal One. It will also help provide a physical connection to a planned multi-modal transportation center.\nAnd most importantly, it will enable the airport to meet demand through 2035. That\u2019s when projected passenger levels are projected to reach capacity for the airport\u2019s single runway. It is clear that being able to continue to provide these airport services in the future is critical, both in terms of a public service and an economic driver for the entire San Diego region.\nThe San Diego County Regional Airport Authority has completed a 20-year Capital Improvement Planning effort to define capital investment needs aligned with the airport\u2019s key strategies for the future. Those key strategies include a sustainability strategy which considers the \u201cTotal Cost of Ownership\u201d (TCO) for capital improvements. TCO includes a project\u2019s construction costs as well as ongoing operations and maintenance costs for the total life of the asset or facility.\nYEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN\nIn 2015, the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority made significant strides in its efforts to ensure that local and small businesses had every opportunity to do business with the airport.\nThe $316 million Rental Car Center project completed construction with tremendous contributions from the local business community. Local businesses received more than $186.2 million in construction contracts, amounting to nearly 60 percent of the total project cost. Of the contracts that went to local businesses, $70.4 million \u2013 or 38 percent \u2013 went to small businesses. Also noteworthy is that $70.4 million represented nearly the entire amount ($73 million) that was available for small businesses.\nThe strategy of our Small Business Development Program is to build relationships with the business community that encourage dialogue and participation, provide education and increase diversity in our contracted workforce.\nThis strategy begins with this philosophy: \u201cThere\u2019s room at the inn for everybody.\u201d\nFrom our beginning as an Airport Authority, the goal has been to create a level playing field that attracts businesses of all sizes; that provides opportunities for all workers of all genders and ethnicities.\nThat philosophy has grown into a firm commitment from the Board and a passionate belief by staff that everyone can benefit from being a part of the work we provide.\nAs one of the largest infrastructure builders in San Diego County, the Airport Authority takes its commitment to inclusion seriously.\nThe Airport Authority is proud to be the recipient of awards from the San Diego Chapter of the American Subcontracting Association, Airport Minority Advisory Council, San Diego Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and the Federal Aviation Administration for its small business outreach and contracting efforts.\nMore opportunities to work with the airport are available as the Parking Plaza across from Terminal 2 approaches groundbreaking later this year. And the next phase of master planning, which we call the Airport Development Plan (ADP), maps out the future of Terminal 1 and the redevelopment of the former Teledyne-Ryan property.\nOur ambitious capital improvement plans are evidence of the Airport Authority\u2019s commitment to the growth of the San Diego region.\nAnd most everything we do in service of that commitment is designed to foster opportunities for small, local and underrepresented businesses, because we believe those businesses are the heart and soul of San Diego\u2019s economy. There are plenty of opportunities at the airport, no matter who you are.\nAnd we truly believe that there is still room at the inn for everybody.\nThere's room at the inn for everybody.\nOF CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS WENT TO LOCAL BUSINESSES\nWENT TO SMALL BUSINESSES\nSan Diego depends on reliable air transportation service to help maintain the region\u2019s economic prosperity and protect its quality of life. The San Diego County Regional Airport Authority has processes in place that ensure airport operations continue at the highest possible level during and after a disruptive event.\nSpecifically, the Airport Authority has developed the Business Continuity Management System (BCMS), an integrated strategy to prepare for, respond to and recover from emergencies or other business disruptions.\nThe BCMS makes safety and security a top priority, and also ensures continued regulatory compliance while preserving the Airport Authority\u2019s ability to meet contractual obligations to its business partners.\nThe BCMS is comprised of four complementing plans that incorporate the Airport Authority\u2019s critical systems and mobilize key employee teams, as follows:\nAirport Emergency Plan \u2013 Provides a blueprint for responding to incidents with a goal of mitigating their impact and positioning the airport for rapid physical recovery, if necessary.\nCrisis Communication Plan \u2013 Outlines goals, strategies and recommended approaches for communication with the media and general public during and after an emergency.\nIT Disaster Recovery Plan \u2013 Addresses how the Information & Technology Services Department responds to a disruptive event, and how the technology infrastructure, applications, and resources will be optimally recovered, restored, or redeployed after a disruption.\nBusiness Continuity Plan \u2013 Offers a roadmap for identifying mission-critical business functions and establishing procedures to maintain or resume those functions during disruptions.\nThe Airport Authority is committed to working with key operational partners to align its BCMS with their emergency-response plans to ensure business interruptions are eliminated or minimized to the fullest extent possible.\nThe BCMS is regularly reviewed, tested and refined for maximum effectiveness and relevance. A formal test schedule is implemented by senior management.",

He knows a few basic chords and can read tabs. He doesn't read standard music. Having never actually taught anyone from scratch other than working with my kids a bit, I'm looking for suggestions on teaching material for a guy in his late 20's. Mel Bay has a few technique/instructional books for older beginners. Does anyone have any experience in this type of situation? I need to keep it basic, but yet keep it geared up and interesting for an adult. Any suggestions?\nRe: Guitar Instruction\nI tried to teach a guy beginning guitar 30ish years ago; I'm no help to you.\nBasic Guitar instruction ideas\nby NW Harry on Thu Feb 09, 2012 10:50 pm\nGrtBill,\nActually I have done this type of instruction. It's best to have a discussion with the student to learn what THEY want to learn from you. Then you can begin to set realistic expectations for both of you.\nYou might start by asking the student to list 3 things they want to learn in 3 months, and how much time are they willing to practice, e.g. 30 min/day? 3 days/wk? etc. Then ask more specific questions such as to they want to learn to read standard notation music? Basic music theory? Specific songs? Learn more chords, e.g barre chords? Learn the basic notes on the fretboard in the first 3 frets? etc.\nAs for books, buy one that YOU understand how it goes about explaining things. If those are things the student wants, then there's your instruction book!\nby gtrbill on Fri Feb 10, 2012 8:53 am\nWell, I started the lessons the other night. Both I and the student thought it went well. I picked up an instruction book that geared towards young adults which is pretty basic and straight forward. The book will give me a structure to follow and keep me from going off on tangents.\nOur one hour lesson took two hours, but as they say, \"Time flies when you're having fun\". He had already taught himself a lot of the 1st position chords, i.e., A, C, D, E and G. What he neglected to teach himself were any of the notes, so when he played a C chord he had no idea which notes were involved.\nHarry, you had some good ideas. I think we discussd most of them in the two hours. I like the \"3 things in 3 months\" question; I'll have to try that next week.\nThe good thing is he seems to be a quick learner who has the interest. it doesn't look like practicing will be a problem. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, but it should be a good experience for both of us.\nAnother good thing is that he is the son of a friend, so there is no way I want to charge him for the lessons. I'd be happy just to have him learn. The student just happens to be a golf pro, so he suggested providing me with golf lessons as compensation. It sounds like a win/win situation.\nI'll have to see who is the more successful teacher as well as student.\nGuitar Instructions\nby Al jarvis on Wed Jun 27, 2012 1:19 pm\ngtrbill wrote: I was approached by the adult son of a friend to teach him to play guitar.

Does your friend want to learn to be a guitar player or does he want to sing some favorite songs and accompany himself on the guitar. I've been down this road before and after a few lessons most of my friends really wanted to be able to sing and play with others. If this is the case I believe you will get a flood of ideas.\nGood Luck, Al",

        "raw_content": "Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC 27695, USA\nThe Southeastern North Carolina was dominated by NH3-rich condition.\nThe AFOs NH3 emissions contributed to NH3-rich condition.\nResponses of secondary iPM2.5 to total NH3, total HNO3 and total H2SO4 varied.\nReduction of total H2SO4 is more effective to reduce secondary iPM2.5.\nSecondary inorganic fine particulate matter (iPM2.5) constitutes a significant amount of atmospheric PM2.5. The formation of secondary iPM2.5 is characterized by thermodynamic equilibrium gas-particle partitioning of gaseous ammonia (NH3) and aerosol ammonium (NH4+). To develop effective control strategies of atmospheric PM2.5, it is essential to understand the responses of secondary iPM2.5 to different precursor gases. In southeastern North Carolina, the NH3 is excessive to fully neutralize acid gases (NH3-rich condition). The NH3-rich condition is mainly attributed to the significant NH3 emissions in the region, especially the large amounts of animal feeding operation (AFO) facilities. To gain some insights into the impact of NH3 on the formation of secondary iPM2.5 in this region, responses of iPM2.5 to precursor gases under different ambient conditions were investigated based upon three-year monitoring data of iPM2.5 chemical compositions, gaseous pollutants, and meteorological conditions. The gas ratio (GR) was used to assess the neutralization degree of NH3, and ISORROPIA II model simulation was used to examine the responses of iPM2.5 to the changes in total NH3, total sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and total nitric acid (HNO3). It was discovered that under different ambient temperature and humidity conditions, the responses of iPM2.5 to precursor gases are different. In general, the iPM2.5 responds to total NH3 nonlinearly, whereas the responses of iPM2.5 to total H2SO4 and total HNO3 are linear. In NH3-rich regions, iPM2.5 is not sensitive to the change of total NH3, but it is very sensitive to the changes of total H2SO4 and/or total HNO3. Reduction of total H2SO4 leads to significant reduction of iPM2.5; thus, it is more effective than reducing total HNO3 and total NH3 to reduce iPM2.5 concentration. The research provides insight into PM2.5 control and regulation in NH3-rich regions.\nAmmonia Inorganic PM2.5 Thermodynamic equilibrium modeling ISORROPIA II Animal feeding operations",

        "raw_content": "Castle Urquhart is perched on the edge of Loch Ness and it's the ruins you see in all of the photos of Loch Ness. It enters the records around 580 A.D., so they think it's been around that long in one form or another. Being situated strategically on the loch, it's changed hands many times throughout history, both between the clans and the English. It seems that the clans Durward, Mac Donald and Grant have all been in charge of it throughout it's history. In 1692 the English soldiers blew it up as they left it for the last time.\nI think it's especially compelling at night, so that would be the photos I have of it!\nOn Tuesday I had planned to head out to Skye, but I got up too late for the 2 hour journey each way, so I decided to head up towards the town of Loch Ness and then onto Inverness. One of the things I wanted to accomplish in Loch Ness was to find a local Burns Night dinner, which is a celebration of the Scottish National Poet, Robert Burns.\nThe information center wasn't open yet, so I headed up the hill to the new Loch Ness Exploration Center and did the tour there. It was a tour with different rooms built to be like rock and had videos in each room talking of the search for the Loch Ness monster. I have to say that being the only person in the place was a tad bit spooky, in a Scooby Doo sort of way. I kept my back to the wall in each of the rooms, just in case the Loch Ness monster snuck up on me and I had to exclaim \"Jinkies!\" and run away.\nOnce through the exhibition I went into the gift shop adjacent to it and had a nice chat with the local ladies who worked there. What nice ladies!!! They recommended some other things to see while in the area.\nAt the information office the woman told me to check at the post office for a Burns Night dinner, because she thought that was who had mentioned it to her. So I went to the post office, where they said \"Burns Night dinner? No, I haven't heard anything, check down at the information desk.\" I explained that they were the ones who sent me to the post office and a nice gentleman who was mailing a package said \"I'm on my way to the library, why don't you walk with me there and ask the librarian, she should know of something.\"\nSo across Loch Ness to the library we went. The librarian did indeed know of something, and drew me a map to get to Balnain to check their community board. Phillip, the man who walked me to the library, told me that if I was headed to Balnain, I should really try to get out to Plodda Fall because they were really spectacular, so I did. It was funny that 3/4 of the people I met in Loch Ness were actually from England, not Scotland. Phillip must have been from the Liverpool area because he totally sounded like John Lennon.\nI found the Balnain message board, wrote down the dinner info then headed on to Plodda Falls. I thought I missed a turn at one point and asked a man who was walking his daughter home from school for directions. He redirected me and said \"Be careful on the road there, it's got big potholes, very (prounounced 'verra') treacherous that is, that.\" I thanked him and went on my way.\nThe thing I love about the highlands is that you'll be driving along, round a bend and have your breath taken away by a totally stunning vista. The thing that's annoying is that photos just do not do the vista justice at all. The drive to Plodda was simply amazing. There is a little bitty town you go through that's labeled as a 'conservation village', which I take to mean that the houses are old because there was no description of what a conservation village is. The village was totally adorable, with ancient stone houses that had gingerbread trim. The walk to and from the falls was beautiful and serene. I only came across one other woman. There is a platform that sticks out over the falls so that you look straight down over them. It's relatively terrifying to be hanging out over the water and rocks like that, I have to say.\nI stopped in the conservation village to take photos on the way back as it was getting dark. I pulled into a car park and stood outside the car clicking away. When I turned around I found that all of the sheep in the field were standing there chewing grass and watching me.\nSo now for the photos:",

So you will still need the software, whatever form that takes.\nThe initial threshold, which in the consultation documents was set at \u00a310,000 has not been set, and will not be set until sometime later this year; this means there is still great uncertainty for the smaller businesses over whether they will be part of the \u201cDigital Revolution\u201d.\nThe Cash Basis, a simplified way of recording your transactions, will be available to businesses with turnover up to \u00a3150,000, an increase from the current \u00a383,000 threshold.\nThe first MTD-capable software is supposed to be available by April this year, that is only two months away! The Revenue have announced that Free software will be available to the majority of the smallest businesses, the question is what capability will it have \u2013 I suspect it will only be for the simple Cash Basis.\nAfter April 2018, there will be a 12 month \u201csoft landing\u201d period before penalties are applied.\nBusinesses that cannot go digital will not be required to do so \u2013 however, who decides whether a business cannot go digital?\nSo, we now know that Making Tax Digital is going to happen from April next year.

        "raw_content": "The Diffusion of Innovations\n-Everett Rogers, Diffusion of Innovations, 5th Edition.\nNo one can pretend to a comprehensive understanding of human social systems until they have read the latest edition of Everett Rogers\u2019 Diffusion of Innovations, or familiarized themselves with the literature it surveys by some other means. This is not to say that you will achieve perfect knowledge of such systems upon completing the book, nor would Rogers have made such a claim. What Rogers provides is a sense of how much has been accomplished in the young field he helped to create, and how many unanswered questions still remain.\nImage from UNODC\nRogers is relentless in his categorization and definition of concepts in the diffusion model, but some basic notions can be spelled out without resorting to his level of detail.\nThe contribution of the diffusion literature that has itself diffused widely beyond the field is the concept of the early adopter. Rogers lays out several categories of adopter, including a stage before the earlier adopter, which he calls the \u201cinnovator\u201d. Counterintuitively, the innovator is not actually the one who comes up with the innovation, but is simply the very first to adopt it. Then comes the early adopters, followed by the early majority, the late majority, and the laggards.\nStudies conducted in different disciplines across a broad range of subjects over a course of decades have consistently found that adoption, plotted over time, looks like the S-shaped curve pictured above. The initial adoption period, during which only the innovators and the early adopters are adopting, begins relatively slowly. The middle period, when the early majority and then the late majority adopt, occurs extremely quickly. Finally, the laggards are the last to the party and even after everyone else has adopted their adoption is quite slow.\nHeterogeneity and homogeneity are crucial components of the social system in which innovations spread. Innovators are standalone individuals who are so different from the rest of the people in the social system that their adoption does nothing to encourage other individuals to adopt the innovation. I used to think that Robert Scoble was the quintessential early adopter, but by Rogers\u2019 terminology I think he is actually an innovator. He tries out absolutely everything, often years before anyone else does. The way he uses the innovations he adopts is often very different from how much later adopters will end up using it. I think few people actually adopt something because the Robert Scobles of the world did it first.\nOn the other hand, early adopters are different enough that they are more likely to adopt an innovation than the majority, but similar enough to the majority that they are much more likely to follow suit eventually.\nEarly adopters are a more integrated part of the local social system than are innovators. Whereas innovators are cosmopolites, early adopters are localites.\nIn spite of what many early 20th century communications thinkers believed, mass media has an insignificant effect on our behavior compared to our peers. Once adoption reaches the \u201cmajority\u201d\u2013which Rogers claims accounts for about 68 percent of a population\u2013the adoption rate skyrockets, because the early and late majorities are comprised of a large number of highly homogeneous individuals who are looking to one another for cues about whether the innovation is worth the effort of adopting.\nThe laggards are the last group to adopt, and their rate of adoption remains quite slow relative to the big upsurge in the middle period of diffusion. One interesting thing I had not realized before reading Diffusion of Innovations is that there usually exists a big socioeconomic gap between early adopters and laggards. This makes a certain sense\u2013the downside risk is smaller for a relatively wealthier person taking on the costs of adopting an untested innovation than it is for a relatively poorer one. The difference between the two categories isn\u2019t always one of wealth, though, but the gap usually does exist in some form of social status.\nThere is much, much more to it than this basic picture. An enormous amount of work has been done studying the various communication channels through which innovations spread, and the social systems that provide the institutions and context the adopters interpret the innovations from, and just about every aspect of the innovation-generation, diffusion, and implementation processes.\nDiffusion of Innovations is an interesting book with an interesting history. I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s really accurate to call what I read the 5th edition, as I get the sense that it is so radically different from the first as to be almost an entirely distinct book. The first edition was published in 1962, with the express intention of unifying the research efforts conducted in disparate academic disciplines and providing a common theoretical framework. The 5th edition was published in 2003 and is just as concerned with criticizing and exposing the flaws in what Rogers calls \u201cthe classical diffusion model\u201d\u2013the one he himself was instrumental in formalizing!\u2013as it is with introducing the basics to newcomers.\nRare is the scholar who introduces a theoretical model that becomes the foundation for an entire line of academic research. Rarer still is the scholar who is able to see various critiques and contradictions to his model, accept them, and work to improve the model! Rogers was exceptionally open minded and well read. On the latter count, every theoretical concept introduced in the book is immediately followed up with specific case studies to demonstrate what they mean in practice. He was there at the very beginning of diffusion research and has lived to see it evolve.\nMy only regret where the book is concerned is that it was not written more recently\u2013at the time it was published, Rogers\u2019 most recent source of information on Internet adoption showed that there were a little over 500 million computers connected to it in the world. Today, over 800 million people are active on Facebook alone! From his Wikipedia page I see that Rogers passed away in 2004\u2013this is truly tragic, as I would have loved to read what he thought about what has transpired on the web in the 9 or so years since the 5th edition was published.\nAny scholar of human nature who isn\u2019t familiar with this literature owes it to themselves to read this book.\nPosted on January 1, 2012 January 1, 2012 Author Adam GurriCategories diffusion of innovations\nPrevious Previous post: Parting Ways With 2011\nNext Next post: Homesteading the Open Web",

He attended the Royal School, Dungannon, and at 18 entered Trinity College, Dublin (B.A., 1849; M.A., 1853). In 1847 he joined the London Morning Chronicle as a parliamentary reporter and in 1848 enrolled at Lincoln's Inn. In June 1853 he was called to the Bar and in December sailed for Melbourne in the Briseis. In March 1854 he was admitted to the Victorian Bar and on 30 September married Margaret Foreman at the Licensed School House, St Kilda.\nHiginbotham combined journalism and law in the colony. He wrote for the Melbourne Morning Herald and at 30 became editor of the Argus. His editorials suggest his struggle to reconcile his high-principled liberalism with colonial exigencies. One of his reporters, Charles Bright, recalls his dislike of making snap decisions on political issues and says that his scrupulous attention to every detail 'from leading article to minutest paragraph' led to slowness in publication that might be compared with his later repute for pedantry on the bench, despite the conciseness of many of his judgments. On a matter of principle Higinbotham clashed with the proprietor, Edward Wilson, and resigned in July 1859.\nIn 1861 he was elected for Brighton to the Legislative Assembly. As attorney-general in the McCulloch ministry in 1863-68 he was unquestionably the leading radical in Victoria. He established a local precedent by declining private briefs while attorney-general but after resigning from the ministry he returned to the Bar. He was defeated at Brighton in 1871 but represented East Bourke Boroughs in 1873-76. In 1880 he was appointed to the Supreme Court bench and became chief justice in 1886.\nHiginbotham had started his political career with all the perplexities of an inexperienced politician testing the practicability of his theories. The uncertainties and adjustments in his thought were illustrated in 1862 by his support of (Sir) Charles Gavan Duffy's land bill and Richard Heales's common schools bill though he soon saw the weaknesses in both. By 1864 he publicly confessed a mistake in his judgment over the Duffy Act which gave temporary security of tenure to squatters, whom he called 'the wealthy lower orders', but achieved little for smallholders. He tried to redress the balance by supporting James Grant's 1865 Land Act but later became even stronger in his views. By 1873 he was affirming that 'property was robbery', that crown lands should be available only on thirty-three-year leases and a progressive property tax levied to make great estates unprofitable.\nHiginbotham's dogged struggle for educational reform was perhaps of more immediate importance, but that too revealed his hardening in the face of obstruction. Under him the Argus had encouraged educational development but he presented no clear solution for the religious difficulty. During 1861 he advocated a private-enterprise approach. Relying on the authority of J. S. Mill, he proposed that parents should initiate new schools and the government confine itself to financial help. He recognized the need for a state school system but faced the dilemma that, although the state could not engage in spiritual education, education without religion was 'mere instruction'. Yet in 1862 he supported Heales's Act, which created a Common Schools Board with power to establish schools, because he had found that public indifference led to neglect of education. The Act satisfied no one. State aid to church schools was continued but bitter competition emerged between the national and denominational schools and between the denominations themselves. The compromise was costly, and ineffective in bringing education to outlying districts.\nBy 1867 Higinbotham was convinced that 'in justice to the equal rights of the children of all classes' the state must take full responsibility for national education and withdraw aid to denominational schools. This conclusion had been unanimously reached by the royal commission set up in 1866 with Higinbotham as chairman to prepare a public instruction bill. In five months the commissioners met fifty-two times often for long hours. Higinbotham never missed a meeting. The secretary, David Blair, claimed that the amount of work was two or three times greater than usual for commissions and that 'the unremitting zeal of their Chairman acted like a charm on the Commissioners'.\nWanting education rather than mere instruction, the commissioners allowed a place in the national system for 'common Christianity' but not for sectarian doctrine. When Catholics rejected this as state-sponsored Protestantism and appealed for a special grant, Higinbotham could see no way out. In the assembly he suggested that, if Protestants united in providing religious instruction, the case for Catholic aid might later be reopened.\nThe commission achieved little more than to expose the nature of the dilemma. McCulloch gave no support to its draft bill and Higinbotham was attacked on the one hand for not introducing a fully secular measure and on the other for withdrawing aid from the churches. The Anglican and Catholic clergy battled to retain state aid and those denominations most in sympathy with the bill withheld support in fear of strengthening the Catholic case for a separate grant. Isolated, Higinbotham withdrew his bill convinced that henceforth only a fully secular measure would do. This last important attempt to find a place for religion in the national system may well have hastened the secular solution, for Higinbotham's failure enlightened public and political opinion by revealing the difficulties of compromise\u2014a lesson that he repeatedly pointed out in the House. Although out of parliament when the 1872 Act was passed Higinbotham had pre-eminently cleared the way for it. He had battled hardest for a religious sentiment in education, yet in 1876 on his last day in parliament he argued that all Christian references be expunged from school textbooks since they offended Jewish parents and children, a recommendation that was later adopted.\nIn Higinbotham's fifteen-year pilgrimage to extreme state secularism, his personal piety remained unshaken. He was born and buried an Anglican, however unorthodox. In an 1887 address, The Opening of the Unitarian Church, he expressed sympathy with that church which 'alone\u2026 preserves the idea of the unity of God', 'the simplicity of \u2026 the Semitic ideal', and welcomes the 'distinctive views \u2026 of independent thinkers'. He liked to belong to a congregation, but no Christian church, he once said, could set up the 'shadow of a rational claim' to be 'the sole Church of Christ'. The clergy of all denominations were 'the greatest enemies to religious education', their sects mere 'competing companies or corporations' displaying a 'pestilent energy in collecting property' as 'proof of vitality'. He believed that the churches and the clergy came between man and his Maker, whereas men, united in their rationality, could find 'God, revealed to the intellect in every minute movement of matter' if they merely tried 'to catch the sound of that one voice which alone above the din of nineteen centuries still makes itself heard'. In attacking clerical orthodoxy in his 1883 lecture, Science and Religion, in the Scots Church, he provoked a spate of pamphlets, lectures and sermons and precipitated the virtual expulsion of his chairman, Charles Strong, from the Presbyterian ministry.\nHiginbotham's deeply religious sense explains many of his political beliefs: his dislike of greed or even private gain; and his belief in the laity and individual judgment unfettered by religious or political authority. Passionately religious and democratic, he believed in the common man as the source of political authority.\nIn the Argus between December 1856 and April 1858 he enunciated democratic principles in a battle with his proprietor who advocated multiple electorates to prevent manual workers from gaining a majority vote, and special representation of property interests. Higinbotham retorted that 'the most complete equalisation of political rights' came from recognizing that rich and poor had an equal stake in good government, whereas the representation of minorities would favour the rich. He also opposed (Sir) John O'Shanassy's conservative scheme for the 'excessive multiplication of small constituencies', warning that it would make elected members mere delegates of 'local prejudices and local rapacity' thus encouraging 'bawling demagogues' to win votes by 'extravagant flattery'.\nIn the Argus and later in the assembly Higinbotham held that parliamentarians should vote on every issue by conviction, not in deference to their party or constituents but in support of competent and honest government. Party bonds were 'factious' and impeded the exercise of private conscience. In practice his fidelity to this principle became paralysing and led him to retire from politics. Disapproving (Sir) Graham Berry's stonewalling tactics, yet convinced that McCulloch was actuated by 'shameful' place-seeking which led him to enact 'a naked farce', Higinbotham could support the actions of neither: nor could he overlook his differences with the party he preferred, for this would be taking a party line. His principles forced him into inaction and resignation, despite requests that he become leader of the Liberal Party.\nAs attorney-general he had side-stepped this dilemma. Although theoretically opposed to party government, he had kept in office a heterogeneous ministry, the longest since responsible government, and united his followers against the common enemy, the Legislative Council. He was satisfied that the issue, not party loyalty, won him support. His personal wars against the council and the Colonial Office's ill-informed interference with domestic affairs were part of his strategy to make the Legislative Assembly supreme in Victoria. He seized on any challenge to responsible government and any ambiguities in the 1855 Constitution Act to establish precedents in the development of colonial democracy; whether or not he was always legally sound is still not settled by constitutional historians.\nIn 1864 he reprimanded Sir Redmond Barry for informing the governor of his intention to take a holiday. 'No officer in his department', said Higinbotham, should communicate directly with the governor on official business. In that year he also clashed with Chief Justice (Sir) William Stawell who disagreed with his ruling that the Executive Council was entitled to suspend judges. The imperial law officers upheld Higinbotham but, less concerned with personal victory than with interference from the British ministry, he advised the judges that the decision was 'in no way binding'. He was jealous of the independence of the judiciary except when it conflicted with the independence of the colonial government.\nHis militant resistance to imperial incursions into domestic affairs was matched by an equal determination that the colonies respect their obligations to the imperial government and to the governor as its sole agent in imperial affairs. In such cases the governor ceased to be responsible to his colonial ministers and, wearing his other hat, was solely responsible to the imperial government.\nAn opportunity to show the distinction arose in January 1865 when the Shenandoah, calling itself a Confederate ship, sought permission to berth at Hobson's Bay for coal and repairs. In an unaccustomed alliance with Melbourne's upper crust, who entertained the ship's officers at the Melbourne Club, Higinbotham advised against the United States consul's request that the ship be seized as a pirate. The United States held Britain responsible for the damage later done by the ship and a tribunal at Geneva in 1872 awarded $15,500,000 for damages done by the vessel. Higinbotham explained that the governor had been answerable to Britain in this dispute and that the ministers, acting merely as advisers, were not responsible for the governor's decision and were therefore not bound to resign if he had rejected their advice.\nHiginbotham's principles were again tested in the dispute between the assembly and the council over the so-called protective tariff of 1865. Higinbotham, professedly a free trader, denied that the measure was based on protectionist principles. It merely altered the list of goods dutiable for revenue and was not designed to protect home industries. Protectionists wanted a stronger measure while free traders claimed that the bill contravened their principles. For Higinbotham their argument was a mere 'intellectual puzzle'\u2014a quibble. He predicted that the council would reject the measure, not on principle but out of self-interest, and so advised the ministry to attach it to the appropriation bill.\nIn the ensuing deadlock between the Houses, Governor Sir Charles Darling used a legal trick to pay public expenses. He borrowed from the London Chartered Bank which sued for repayment and the Crown offered no defence. After elections in which the ministry was supported, and after conferences between the assembly and council (from which Higinbotham was excluded), the appropriation bill was passed on 17 April 1866. On that day Darling received his recall for having expressed disapproval of the Opposition and for raising money by methods of doubtful legality, in both of which Higinbotham had been his mentor.\nThe removal of Darling rekindled the constitutional struggle. In May 1866 the Legislative Assembly voted \u00a320,000 to Lady Darling and prepared an address of sympathy and gratitude to her husband. The first deadlock ended just in time to make way for the second. After the council rejected the appropriation bill including the Darling grant, parliament was dissolved in August 1867 and the ministry was again returned. Months of confusion followed. The new governor, Manners-Sutton, was tactlessly advised by the Colonial Office not to recommend the grant to the legislature; the government resigned and was followed in May 1868 by the Sladen ministry. Without a majority it resigned in July. The McCulloch ministry then resumed office, but Higinbotham refused to be attorney-general, explaining in December 1869 that he could not hold office in a ministry that prevented him from submitting his case on colonial independence.\nUntil his final retirement from the assembly Higinbotham remained uncertain about how to reduce the council's powers. He criticized proposals for reducing the property qualifications of electors and members of the council, maintaining that such reductions would not curb the powers of the council but only strengthen it, since it could claim to be more representative while still not being truly responsible. James Francis's 'Norwegian Scheme' of April 1874, to force the two Houses to sit jointly after the council had rejected a bill in two consecutive sessions, exposed Higinbotham's uncertainty. He criticized the measure and suggested that Victoria would be ideally suited to a one-House system because it lacked an hereditary nobility and antagonistic social classes, but he recognized that the time was not ripe.\nMeanwhile in 1869 Higinbotham had defined colonial responsible government with clarity and force. His five resolutions, all passed by the assembly, were provoked by conservative Victorian colonists in London who had called a conference on colonial affairs. Incensed at this interference of an 'irresponsible' body of expatriates, he was impelled to clarify the position after a debate on 8 May 1868 in the House of Lords where six of the seven speakers had implicitly denied the existence of responsible government. Only Lord Chancellor Cairns affirmed the principle that Higinbotham held sacred: 'If it was to be laid down \u2026 that the Secretary of State at home was to hold in leading strings the Ministry of the Colony, then the pretence of free colonial institutions was simply a delusion and a mockery'.\nSensing a direct challenge to colonial independence, Higinbotham declared in his resolutions that the London conference should not be sanctioned, that Victoria wished to remain within the empire, that imperial legislation should not interfere with the colony's internal affairs, that the Colonial Office had no right to advise or instruct the governor on domestic issues but could merely advise on the royal assent to colonial bills, and that the assembly should support the ministry in designing measures to establish the independence of the colonial legislature. He asserted that Victoria had never had responsible government because of the anomaly that a 'foreign minister' advised the Crown to accept or reject colonial legislation.\nThe secretary of state for colonies, he said, was less to blame than 'the chief clerk of the Colonial Office'. The Colonial Office, like the Athenian democracy, 'was governed by the poodle dog of a courtesan'. The dog engrossed the courtesan, who engrossed her lover, 'and the lover ruled the fierce democracy'. Similarly 'the million and a half of Englishmen who inhabit these colonies \u2026 have really been governed \u2026 by a person named Rogers'. As a member of the empire Victoria had to control its own defences but had no right to negotiate with foreign nations. In domestic affairs, however, the colony should have complete autonomy as a responsible government. Ministers should deal directly with the appropriate imperial ministers, not through the Colonial Office which was 'a mere straw image of official intrigue, and unlawful arbitrary interference'. 'If you reason with it, you degrade yourselves. If you go to it, and strike it in the face with the back of your gloved hand, you will see it tumble in a heap at your feet'.\nHiginbotham also attacked what he called illegitimate instructions to governors empowering them to use, regardless of ministerial advice, the prerogative of mercy in capital punishments. In 1874 Carnarvon ruled that the governor had the right to a final decision only after seeking written ministerial advice but Higinbotham still denounced the instruction as 'a glaring instance of \u2026 flagrant illegality' which in practice 'could not be obeyed'.\nInvited in 1880 to become a Supreme Court judge, he wrote to the premier, James Service, about the governor's instruction to call on the judge to report in writing on any case of capital punishment and to appear before the Executive Council. Higinbotham claimed that the Queen had no power to issue this instruction, and that he would 'officially and openly refuse to comply \u2026 and would pray that the commands of the Crown for my assistance \u2026 should be conveyed to me through and in accordance with the advice of Her Majesty's Advisers for Victoria'. His stand on this question was a sequel to his earlier battle with the judges. The conditions he laid down were tested four years later. In May 1884, after sentencing Henry Morgan to death for murder, he refused to report to the Executive Council unless requested by the attorney-general. As attorney-general Higinbotham had insisted on the answerability of judges to him: twenty years later as a judge the position was reversed and he insisted on his answerability to the attorney-general. In both cases his principle was upheld.\nOn a similar principle he insisted that the governor should refuse to inform the Colonial Office on domestic policy. When he became chief justice he should have become administrator in the governor's absences, but he made it clear that as acting governor he would act on this principle. He was therefore by-passed. The insult was never remedied but gave rise to much correspondence with the secretary of state for the colonies whom he successfully convinced in 1892 that the governor's instructions should be redrafted to meet his objections.\nAs chief justice, Higinbotham still saw himself as a liberal politician who should exploit any legal case that furthered responsible government. The opportunity arose most clearly in Toy v. Musgrove, a case involving Chinese immigration and Victoria's power to exclude aliens. The collector of customs, Musgrove, refused entry to Chinese passengers in the British ship Afghan when it arrived at Melbourne in 1888. Toy brought an action against Musgrove to the full Supreme Court. The defence argued that, under a law restricting Chinese immigration, the governor and the ministry had acted properly. Higinbotham maintained that, since no international law conflicted with Victoria's legislation, the governor had to act as the 'local sovereign'. A lengthy argument then raged around what constitutional rights the governor and his ministry did have. Mr Justice (Sir) Hartley Williams, with some regret and sense of shock, concluded that Victoria had neither the legal right to restrict immigration nor the constitutional justification for claiming responsible government. 'I awake to find', he concluded, 'that we have merely an instalment of responsible government'.\nZelman Cowen says that the case 'must be almost unique in the law reports' in providing 'an elaborate examination of the scope and nature of responsible government', and it gave Higinbotham 'a unique opportunity to expound his political philosophy'. Higinbotham, however, often outvoted on the bench, carried only one of the five judges with him. When Musgrove appealed to the Privy Council it ruled that common law supported Victorian law and aliens had no enforceable right to enter British territory. The constitutional question was thus avoided.\nHiginbotham's persistent battle for colonial independence in domestic affairs was equalled by his insistence on Victoria's imperial dependence in foreign affairs. To many his position was paradoxical and ran counter to the nationalistic spirit that soon culminated in Federation. When in 1883 Queensland took possession of south-eastern New Guinea in the name of the Queen, Higinbotham justified the annexation, not as a ministerial decision, but as an act of the governor for the imperial government with no legal effect until ratified in Britain. In the event Queensland's possession was disallowed in London but colonial pressure led to the proclamation of a protectorate in 1884.\nIn July 1883 at a public meeting Higinbotham had moved that the Crown should annex New Guinea and the New Hebrides to protect them from receiving criminals from other European nations and from recruiting native labour for Queensland, a traffic which savoured of slavery and which that colony's government could not control. All civilized nations, he said, had a right to annex unoccupied territory, though he admitted that he did not fully understand how the right originated or could be defended. However, by 1885 Higinbotham was describing all annexation as the act of 'robbers' justified solely by 'priority of possession'. The Colonial Office could have settled the problem by acceding to colonial requests or by rejecting them, thus forcing the colonies to decide whether to leave the empire. Instead it 'vacillated' and compromised while Germany annexed northern New Guinea. The colonies continued to press their claims without being forced to face the international responsibilities of independence from Britain. This temporizing Higinbotham described as 'the imbecility of the Colonial Office' which produced in Germany 'a just sense of distrust'.\nAlfred Deakin saw the protests at England's inaction as a possible prelude to Federation, but to Higinbotham that movement was a 'dangerous mode of thought or rather no thought'. Although not necessarily opposed in principle to Federation, he saw in the negotiations the danger of a compromise in which rights, wrested from the imperial government over thirty years in interpreting the Constitution, could be reversed. Rather than risk the loss of democratic achievements, he would have postponed Federation 'to the date of the Greek Kalends'. He also feared its connexion with republican sentiment, which he thought people of understanding would reject 'for better reasons than the feeble sentimentalism which now seems to be the sole tie between Great Britain and its self-governing dependencies'. He wanted the colonies to continue the existing union with Britain and avoid 'the heavy burdens and the tremendous risk entailed by separation'.\nAs politician and judge, Higinbotham's dedication to democracy sprang from concern not only with constitutional forms but also with giving an equal voice to the underprivileged. Early he had seen individualism as the means to this end, but experience led him to recognize the need for collective action. While editor of the Argus he had scouted the idea of labour representatives in parliament, believing that all men were one and could be relied on to care disinterestedly for the rights of the worker. By 1890, however, he felt impelled to subscribe to the maritime strike funds, less out of concern about the rightness of the strike than about the employers' refusal to negotiate. He saw the unionists fighting with unequal odds against entrenched interests. Diehards demanded that the artillery should drag him from the Supreme Court and shoot him, and critics accused him of impropriety in using his official title in his letter to the Trades Hall, but to this day the Seamen's Union lays a wreath on his statue on each anniversary of his death. In the Argus Higinbotham had supported the Eight Hour Movement and later endeared himself to the labour movement. In 1884 he was guest speaker at the opening of the Trades Hall Council Chamber, where his portrait was hung above the president's chair.\nHiginbotham's support of the working man sprang from respect and affection evinced in his lack of snobbery that mixed strangely with his courtly and elegant manners. Women were among the underprivileged whom he defended: in 1873 he excited ridicule from the press by advocating the female franchise. The Australasian scoffed, 'Mr. Higinbotham can surely not desire to see the denizens of Little Bourke Street or Romeo-land brought in cabs full to the polls', and begged him to leave alone 'our monopoly of our wives and daughters'. At the royal jubilee in 1887 he used the occasion to express his regard for the Queen and thus to expound his views on women's rights. He did not regret that the 'age of chivalry with all its foolery is past', but 'the age of true honour for women' had not yet fully come. Higinbotham was ever chivalrous to women and personally content that they should have it both ways.\nUndoubtedly Higinbotham had more than a touch of the ascetic and the Puritan. He became president of the Permissive Bill Association which campaigned for legislation to restrict the sale of liquor by local option. This issue diverted the energy of many churchmen, and even of Higinbotham, when popular opinions on education were being tested in the 1871 election. In 1873 he argued in parliament for a permissive bill, already twice rejected by the council, as one which would empower the majority to compel the minority to prohibition. The Australasian accused him of being the 'infallible Pope' establishing a 'moral dictatorship'. In 1881 when the association was superseded by the Victorian Alliance, he was invited to become its president. He declined because he believed that the president should be in parliament, able to organize public opinion in every recess and to bring forward a bill 'session after session'. He was not a fanatical teetotaller but, like many nineteenth-century radicals, he argued that those who tried to remove the 'thraldom' of liquor were 'the truest friends of the working millions' and 'at the foundation of all social and political reform'.\nConvinced that men should be protected from the temptation to gamble, Higinbotham attacked raffles at a ladies' bazaar in 1866: Melbourne Punch retorted with a cartoon, 'The Puritanical Prig'. He disliked, even more than gambling, public displays of charity. His grandson, the late Charles Reade, believed that one reason why he left instructions with his wife to destroy all his private papers at his death was to conceal the extent of his private gifts. His ready response to public charities and his private generosity were well known. His son-in-law recalled Higinbotham's belief in the rule, 'Give to him that asketh'\u2014a rule that led his fellow barristers to protest against the procession of undesirable persons to his chambers.\nWhile many legal colleagues made large fortunes, Higinbotham never acquired great wealth. His charges were modest, according to Theodore Fink, 'probably less than half of that of others of his time'. He disapproved the extra salary of \u00a3500 more for chief justices than puisne judges, and so he set it aside to provide festive dinners for his colleagues every year. As a barrister he would not defend a case unless he believed in it, but he could be stern and his cross-examinations were said to be 'deadly enough to make villains tremble'.\nAlways the scholar, he was painstaking and even laborious in his hearing of cases, while his judgments exhibited lucidity, elegance and usually economy. As attorney-general, royal commissioner and judge he was an indefatigable worker, often working into the early hours and then sleeping in his rooms. Possibly the greatest monument to the demands he made on himself was his consolidation of the statutes as attorney-general in 1865 and again as chief justice in 1890. For his efforts he gained the rare honour of thanks of both Houses. After being slighted over the acting governorship, Higinbotham must have enjoyed wry pleasure in this public compliment and in refusing a knighthood, which he described as a 'base, contemptible distinction' that merely gave a man 'a handle to his name'.\nIronically Higinbotham tended to blame himself for exhibiting too little of what his critics described as an excess of fixity of purpose. In his 1884 address to the Trades Hall he remarked that 'stubborn adherence to principle was the most honest expression of a politician's view' and 'experience has led me to the conclusion that almost all compromises, almost all concessions \u2026 are so many abandonments of principle'. No doubt he had in mind his own political shifts over such policies as land reform. His doggedness in fighting the Legislative Council after the deadlocks wearied some politicians, and as judge his persistent battle with the imperial government for an irreversible definition of responsible government irked some legal colleagues.\nYet opponents and admirers alike respected his probity, and most succumbed to his kindliness, charm and personal magnetism. William Shiels wrote: 'I really loved him. I never knew a more knightly nature than his: and yet it was a unique one, too, from its almost weird blend of contraries'. Shy yet firm, gentle yet ferocious, personally courteous yet impersonally acrimonious, he was indeed a puzzling mixture. His oratory only Deakin, his disciple, could rival. Speaking with a softly modulated Anglo-Irish voice, Higinbotham began his speeches shyly and hesitatingly until under the compulsion of his logic and rhetoric he was carried often to impassioned heights. Deakin described his speeches as 'slow', 'grand', 'stately and impressive with \u2026 dignity in style and grace of phrase, yet terribly intense and effective' in his 'admirable climaxes'.\nDeakin also recalled his 'cherubic' manner, his 'mildness and sweetness', and his profile 'cameo-like in its delicacy, and clear blue eyes, still, calm and far-seeing when not ablaze with passion'. His granddaughter Hilda Morris never forgot his chiding her for looking into a private garden. 'Ever since then', she writes, 'I have looked straight ahead and respected privacy' and here perhaps is the true explanation for the destruction of his private papers.\nThis most loved and most hated politician was 'the red radical' or, as Shiels assessed him, Australia's 'noblest if not its greatest man', according to the point of view. For Price Warung he was 'the greatest of Australia's dead' who 'won from privilege and class ground they have never since been able to recover'.\nWarned against over-exertion in his last years, Higinbotham characteristically ignored the advice, asking his doctor only to tell him frankly if his mental powers were at all impaired. He died on 31 December 1892, survived by his wife, two sons and three daughters. At his request he had a private funeral.\nE. E. Morris, A Memoir of George Higinbotham (Lond, 1895)\nG. M.

This issue magnifies the necessity for increased scrutiny towards issues such as environmental considerations and product recovery in closed-loop supply chains (CLSCs). The most important motivational factors influencing research on these topics can be considered in two general groups: environment-friendly legal requirements and cost efficiencies. The most important elements in the closed-loop supply chain include collection centers and treatment centers. This paper intended to design a network according to the mentioned principles. In this regard, three types of product treatment centers were taken into account: physical, biological, and thermal. The network design was made via a new mixed multi-objective nonlinear mathematical model of integers. In this model, three objective functions were considered that included profit maximization, pollution minimization, and the minimization of the number of facilities under construction. The model was obtained after determining the number of collection and treatment centers, the number of containers for storage of different waste materials, the amount of waste sent from collection centers to the treatment centers, and the areas covered by collection centers. Due to the conflicting objective functions, a corrected NSGAII algorithm was used to solve this model. The change applied in the mentioned algorithm was made to determine the appropriate amount of the crossover percentage. The improvement in the performance of the proposed solution algorithm is shown using a numerical example. To prove the improved performance, a T-test was used to compare the means between the two populations. To select the optimum answer from the Pareto solution set, indices of D, S, and solution time were used and solved with TOPSIS.\nnetwork design; collection center; treatment center; modified NSGAII\n[1] Ramezani, M., Bashiri, M., Tavakkoli-Moghaddam, R.

        "title": "Ahavat Olam - Rosh Hashanah Sermon",
        "raw_content": "On this day of Rosh Hashanah, I would like to take you back about 11 or 12 years, to the end of the last decade, when scientists, computer programmers, politicians and just about everyone else were very worried about the Y2K problem. Doomsday prophets predicted the end of the world as we knew it. Well the world is certainly very different than we knew it at that time, but not because of some missing ones and zeros in the matrix of programming codes, but because the world has been turned on its head by unexpected events that left many of us shouting the title of the musical \"Stop the World I Want to Get Off.\" In just this short span of time, monstrous events such as 9/11, wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, Hurricane Katrina, earthquakes, tsunamis, a nuclear meltdown, powerful uprisings in Egypt, Libya and Syria, a banking and stock market near collapse in our country, and now a European financial crisis, have all changed this world irrevocably. Of course, during this same period, many positive changes have also occurred. Cell phones now enable us to be in constant communication, email has replaced snail mail, computers have revolutionized business, education and our personal lives, and permit us to accomplish in seconds, laborious tasks that might have taken days in the past. Computers have also enhanced communication and made face to face conversations between people thousands of miles apart a reality through programs like Skype. (While I personally view these as positives, I realize that some people, ---well, not much). But regardless of if we like it or not, we must accept the reality. As in the words of the song Rabbi Danny often sings at sacred events, \"Everything Must Change.\"\nThese past few years has seen an economy worse than anything since the Great Depression. Many people are hurting and feeling the pain caused by financial loss, job insecurity and uncertainty. Some of us have a feeling of helplessness as we watch the stock market drop 500 Dow points one day, followed by weeks of huge swings in the market, both up and down, and what it means for our shrinking savings, investments and retirement portfolios. The recent debacle surrounding the need to raise the debt ceiling in our country, points out the severe divide among our politicians and, for that matter, among the people of the United States. Two very different views of how to shape our government exist today but, unlike in years past, our political leaders are reluctant to consider a middle ground.\nMost of us would probably agree that personal greed contributed to cour current predicament. There is plenty of blame to go around. Was it Wall Street, the politicians, or the media that whipped us into a frenzy? It was all of these. But let's be honest. It was not just the greed of large companies and politicians that caused the crisis. It stemmed from us too. Maybe not you or me particularly, but people in general, spending beyond their means to keep up with the Schwartz's, trying to make a killing in the market or over-stating their income to qualify for a loan they couldn't really afford, perhaps to purchase an over-priced home bigger than they needed. These also helped cause and fuel this crisis. A quote from Gandhi comes to mind: \"there is enough in this world for everyone's need, but not for everyone's greed.\" We have reached the precipice and seen the abyss, and it's not pretty.\nWhile the current economic crisis may seem like a strange topic for Rosh Hashanah, I think it's important to speak about the financial situation because it's on most people's minds anyway. At times such as these, many of us turn to religion for comfort. It can bring us a message of hope and faith. I believe Judaism has a great deal to offer us in times of trouble, and is extremely relevant and pertinent to how we live our lives and how we cope with life's challenges. A critical piece of advice to weather the crisis is to stay calm during the storm, to look long term at the big picture, and not to panic, all messages consistent with the spirit of the Days of Awe. Who better than us understands the importance of looking \"long term\"?As a 3,500 year old people who have survived so much, one of the things we can learn from our history is the value of endurance, perseverance and maintaining faith. Faith in the Almighty helps to reassure us in times of uncertainty. The Bible firmly declares and reassures us that we go through life knowing that we are not alone. Belief in God brings comfort in times of stress. We dare not belittle the depth of this crisis, but maintaining our perspective is helpful, for one's attitude affects how we deal with situations we confront. In other words, how we view a situation plays an important role in how we respond to it.\nThroughout the year we Jews are commanded to be happy. We are told to serve Adonai with joy and come into G-d's presence with song. So who is happy? The learned ones tell us it is those who are content with, and truly appreciate, their lot. Now lot does not mean the cards that circumstance has dealt you or the material possessions you've amassed, but rather those lifetime characteristics that you have sought out, acquired and nurtured for yourself; a sound body, a loving spouse or significant other, your career your friends, your community, your hobbies and leisure activities, your inter-personal relationships and of course, your relationship with G-d.\nThese High Holy Days are like our annual tune-up, when we come into \"the shop\" to realign our values. By reciting our prayers, by spending the day of Yom Kippur in solemn convocation with G-d, our Rabbi and our synagogue community, we are reminded of what our values should be. Hopefully, even in this difficult economic time, we can come away from these days of intense prayer and introspection with a renewed realization of the truly important things in our life, our good fortune, and the any miracles that surround us. Our temple, Ahavat Olam, is a vibrant congregation that has committed to nurture and celebrate your connection to G-d with you, to cultivate a love and understanding of the Jewish heritage, uphold the teachings of Torah and to strengthen our community through the wholehearted practice of Tikkun Olam, repair and healing of the world. Though we are a relatively small congregation, we are a full service synagogue offering inspiring Shabbat services 52 weeks of the year, often including our beloved Prima Bima Band and our all volunteer Choral Society. There's a lot that happens in the Temple on Shabbat. If's where we go to connect with G-d and one another. Of course the scrumptious Oneg that immediately follows each service, is not bad either. If you haven't been coming, try it . But be warned, you may find it to be habit-forming. Our Shabbos morning Bible and Brunch class and our Religious School have just been enhanced with the addition of Rabbi Jonathan Tabachnkioff to our staff.\nAhavat Olam meets the community's needs from Baby namings, Bat and Bar Mitzvahs, Weddings, Vow Renewals and Funerals. From Purim plays and holiday festival celebrations, to 2nd night Seder at Pesach. The benefits of our Temple membership are numerous and varied. But the main benefit, at least for me, is community. As you are there for us, so we are there for you. Whether you come once a year for High Holy Days or share in our services every Shabbat, your membership makes you part of our Jewish family. And, like any family, we will both delight and annoy you. Nu? What more could a Jew ask for?\nWe may, of course, nudge you to celebrate with us on holidays, to have your children or grandchildren participate in our religious school, to volunteer your time, to support us, and to live ethically in the world. In return our Mitzvah Angels will help you, and the congregation will pray for you or a loved one if ill or if you need assistance, and, of course, Rabbi Marmorstein will be there for you in times of loss and he will offer you his strength and guidance whenever you need it.\nAs most of you probably know, Ahavat Olam is a non-profit institution that receives no outside funding. Our annual membership dues and funds pledged during this season constitute the bulk of the temple's funding. Ahavat Olam is always concerned about being able to meet its financial commitments to its staff, and those we lease our facilities from, and to be able to continue funding the various programs that many of us so enjoy. The only way we can do this is if everyone who can afford to contribute and support the synagogue, does so. Through your acts of tax deductible giving, you are undertaking the most fundamental and characteristic way of being a Jew. Since the Biblical days of Exodus, when G-d told Moses to ask the people for gifts to build the Tabernacle, giving has been on e of the primary ways in which we live out a sense of gratitude as Jews, a feeling of fulfillment and accomplishment, a sense of happiness. Our tradition teaches that \"to live is to give.\" It is quite literally a life-giving action, not only for those on the receiving end, but perhaps even more importantly, for the ones on the giving end. I'm reminded of the story that there are two seas in Israel; The Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea. The former is full of life; fish, birds, vegetation. The latter, as it's name implies, contains no life at all. Yet both are fed by the same river, the Jordan. What then is the difference between these two bodies of water? The Sea of Galilee receives water at one end and gives out water at the other end. The Dead Sea receives but does not give. To receive without reciprocating is a kind of death.\nFriends, most of us in this room are not economists and don't have a crystal ball to predict what the future will be like for us financially, but we do have the Torah and know what is expected of us as individuals and Jews. We must see to it that our Temple can pay its bills and thus remain a viable institution that will be here for us when we need it.\nAt this time I have both good, and, not so good, news for you. The good news is that we have more than enough money to pay all our bills for the next year. The no so good news is, that it's in your pockets. I know things are tight, but these are difficult financial times for the synagogue as well as for you. Unfortunately, synagogue giving is down all across the country. On top of that, the demographics in our immediate area, with temples closing their doors or merging, due to dwindling membership numbers, and many Jews moving to other counties or even other states, have limited the rate of growth we have been striving for. So perhaps now even more than during less trying times, we truly need your generosity. As our good friend and congregant Jeff Dorn has said in years past, \"don't give until it hurts; give until it feels good.\" Thank you and Good Yom Tov.",

        "raw_content": "Many campaigns will choose to have at least one direct mail effort, sometimes issue-based, sometimes non-partisan \u201cfeel good\u201d\u009d pieces to improve the candidate\u2019s standing in the eyes of their constituents. Regardless of why it\u2019s released, the question needs to be asked: do they make a difference? Are they worth the time and effort needed to get them sorted and sent out? According to a paper by University of Alabama professor Dr. George Hawley, released by Voter Gravity, they can be. He writes:\nTens of billions of advertisements and solicitations are sent to Americans in the mail every single year. A substantial percentage of the population will receive more than 1,000 solicitations for charitable donations within a single year. For this reason, one might be justifiably concerned that voters may become overwhelmed by campaign material and tune everything out entirely. There is little evidence that this occurs, however. A study conducted in 2009 reached the following conclusion: while people find direct mail solicitations annoying, that annoyance does not stop them from sending donations.\nDr. Hawley explains in the course of the paper the amount of voters who can potentially be reached in comparison to other media options like TV and how using different methods of conviction can influence how effective a mailing can be. He summarizes:\nDirect mail is an important element of campaigning, but it is expensive. In order to make direct mail worth the expense, it is important to be realistic about what it can do, and what can be better accomplished via other campaigning methods, such as door-to-door canvassing. Direct mail is probably not your best bet for ensuring high turnout among your voters, but it can be an effective way to raise money, and it may be an effective means of voter persuasion. However, to maximize effectiveness, direct mail campaigns should be carefully targeted.\nTargeting, messages, and cost-benefit ratio are all things that must be taken into account before proceeding with a direct mail effort. Dr. Hawley further explains methods of determining this in his paper which can be found here.\nOriginal post: www.votergravity.com.",

        "raw_content": "\u00bb Second Section\n\u00bb Feature: Wild cats & dogs\nThe enchanted forest at Meow Wolf, a technicolor fairytale dreamscape. That and other psychedelic and space-age wonders for the eyes and mind await those who visit the 20,000-square-foot space in Santa Fe./Courtesy photo\nFormer FLC student\u2019s collective shakes up stodgy Santa Fe art scene\nby Dan Groth\nSanta Fe, N.M., has the second-largest art market in America \u2013 one that is primarily geared toward tourists and dominated by Southwestern and high-end minimalist art. The newest addition to the scene, however, sticks out like the finest, loveliest sore thumb. Meow Wolf, a Santa Fe artist collective formed in 2008, is responsible for creating an enormous permanent installation, \u201cThe House of Eternal Return,\u201d located within a former bowling alley. It is a stupendous achievement for this bunch of youngish art weirdos, who conceived and built it along with the help of other Santa Fe artists and donors.\nOne of six co-owners (and designer of the logo) is 31-year-old former Fort Lewis College art/media arts major and KDUR DJ, Emily Montoya.\nEmily Montoya under the black light./Courtesy photo\nGrowing up in Santa Fe, with its older population, was a bit of a challenge for the young art misfit.\n\u201cAs my friends and I were hitting high school, we found that we had to exercise every ounce of creativity to entertain ourselves\u201d says Montoya. \u201c(We had) a desire to transcend our surroundings, but at the same time learned we had the power to transform the environment around us into a place we wanted it to be.\u201d\n(As an aside, I met Montoya in 2002 through KDUR, where she was known as DJ Galaga and had a fine radio show. Her and I quickly bonded over similar artistic inclinations and love of music, even forming musical supergroup Warrior, which captivated audiences at numerous KDUR cover nights. She credits KDUR with broadening her musical horizons and also appreciated the surprising amount of quality culture in Durango. And for the record, Durango appreciated her as well.)\nAfter leaving Durango in 2004, Montoya went to Japan, before returning to Santa Fe in 2005. She realized that most of her friends had moved away to chase opportunities in cities like Portland, Austin and Brooklyn. She, too, felt the pull. But she stayed in her hometown, where she positioned herself to pursue a career as a translator or in the art world. However, plans changed in 2008 when she met up with a group of 10 like-minded early-twentysomethings to conceive of a new space for art and music. At their first meeting, the new collective chose the name \u201cMeow Wolf\u201d by voting on the best combination of random words they\u2019d written down.\nSoon, the group procured a space in a former hair salon. \u201c(We) started doing these shows where we\u2019d use every square inch of the space from floor to ceiling. It was a reaction against everything we saw in the Santa Fe art scene,\u201d says Montoya. The group even named this new genre, calling it \u201cMultimedia Immersive Maximalist Art.\u201d\nThe artists would often use found objects, more due to lack of funds than a desire to create recycled art, but the overall aesthetic allowed for them to do whatever they wanted in their own style. The new space had an open-door mentality \u2013 anyone could come in any time to work on creative endeavors.\nOn a personal level, the process of collaborating in a somewhat \u201chive mind\u201d collective both helped Montoya broaden her style and expand her own creative boundaries. \u201cBeing inspired by and even reacting against what my friends were making really pushed me to hone my personal aesthetic,\u201d she said. Montoya became the graphic design/web person for Meow Wolf, and her deeper involvement in the collective allowed her to let go of the notion that she\u2019d need an art degree \u2013 she was already doing the things that school would have trained her for.\nMeow Wolf soon expanded its ambitions, doing numerous installations of ever greater size and scope in Santa Fe and beyond. However, in 2013, a planned installation in a Chicago warehouse fell through due to a loss of financial backing, but many themes and ideas remained. In 2014, the group began to float ideas for a permanent installation in Santa Fe, which would center around a house at the moment of space/time collapse, along with numerous concepts from the thwarted Chicago show. A long-abandoned bowling alley caught their eye and they began mapping out a blueprint, going so far as to meet with a real estate agent. The key opening came when Meow Wolf member Vince Kadlubek approached local author George R.R. Martin (he of \u201cGame of Thrones\u201d fame) about their ideas. Martin was excited, but wanted to see them bring in other investors and develop a more solid business plan.\nThat fall, they participated in an art-business incubator, which paired them with mentors and taught them how to create a good pitch for investors. The group received a $25,000 loan after winning the prize for the best pitch, which became the catalyst for Martin. In January 2015, he bought and renovated the bowling alley at a cost of about $3 million. With this go-ahead, the collective worked with an architect to design the 20,000 sq. ft installation. More than 100 artists, mostly from the Santa Fe/Albuquerque/ Taos area, became involved with the project, which was completed through additional funds provided by Martin and other donors.\nThe new Meow Wolf complex, with the House of Eternal Return as its centerpiece, opened March 17, and the results are mind-blowingly impressive.\nThe eternally creepy \u201cHouse of Eternal Return.\u201d/Courtesy photo\nThe installation consists of two main parts. The front is occupied by the titular custom-built two-story house, apparently occupied, but possibly abandoned, by a family whose photos and personal belongings lay in-situ. Mysterious clues abound, and strange aberrations appear regularly \u2013 all with remarkable attention to the smallest detail. Behind the house is a vast psychedelic feast of weirdness, like a dreamland Chuck E. Cheese gone awry, or Black Bart\u2019s Hideout (from Denver\u2019s Casa Bonita) as if designed by an omnipotent demigod. Technicolor forests, a fossilized mammoth, a vintage arcade, a foggy room with a laser harp \u2013 these and much more can be discovered in the labyrinthine space. Anchoring the back is a music venue, which has already hosted such indie acts as Coco Rosie, with more to come. The entire installation is quite kid friendly \u2013 encouraging exploration, touch and interaction. One could spend hours wandering through and not see everything ... words do little justice.\nFor a collective that began using mostly found materials, it was a dream come true to realize their ideas using a large pool of money to hire professional artisans, fabricators and builders. To give an example, Montoya and artist Benji Geary collaborated on \u201cPortals Bermuda,\u201d a malfunctioning interdimensional travel agency based in a gleaming white, neon-lit octagonal room, accessed through the house\u2019s refrigerator. They worked with plastic fabricators to create the shiny white walls, but in the process learned the complexities and limitations of a medium few have given much thought to. Indeed, the entire installation is filled with complicated process stories, and it couldn\u2019t have been done without the \u201chive mind,\u201d the support of the local community, and the will and passion of the artists themselves.\nNow that Meow Wolf is an \u201cofficial\u201d part of the Santa Fe scene, it will be interesting to see how it influences local culture. Montoya has already heard amazing feedback from locals, saying how the art complex makes them proud to be from Santa Fe. \u201cIt\u2019s been a huge motivating factor ... We want to show the world an aspect and possibility of our town,\u201d she said. \u201cWe don\u2019t want to erase our history and traditions as Santa Feans, we just want to expand the narrative to include the next generation of artists, hopefully compelling more young creative people to stay here.\u201d\nOne final point regarding the future of Meow Wolf: the House of Eternal Return is not their endpoint. The projected loan payoff is a remarkably short 10 years, and they will continue to do various community outreach programs with schools and other local artists.

        "raw_content": "Golden 25 -- #3 Yoshiro Mori/Yang Ho Cho\nMori / Cho (ATR)\n(ATR) These two organizing committee chairmen are the first to deal with the ramifications of Olympic Agenda 2020 reforms.\nMori faces a challenge in that Tokyo also will not build venues it cannot afford, despite the promise of the Olympic bid. Mori, 77, served as prime minister from 2000 to 2001.\nEven before the Olympic Agenda reforms took shape, Mori and other leaders of Tokyo 2020 notified the IOC and the international federations that a full-scale review of the venue plan for the Games was needed.\nNow instead of the ultra compact venue plan that was the centerpiece of the 2020 bid, Mori and his team are coming up with changes that address cost and sustainability issues and will result in new locations for a number of the sports on the program.\nSpeaking of the sports program, Mori and Tokyo 2020 will have the chance to nominate one or more new sports for the program under the rules approved in Olympic Agenda.\nThe choice belongs to the organizing committee and is expected to be made in the coming months so that it can be ratified by the IOC Session in August 2015.\nCho has a similar challenge as Tokyo to find a way to delive venues still needed for the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang against the twin pressures of cost and time.\nOlympic Agenda may have opened the door for Cho to move events outside of the PyeongChang area to make use of existing facilities.\nThe national government, which is funding most of the venue construction, is keen to avoid building anything that won\u2019t be used after the Olympics. The coming year will bring choices determining the course towards the 2018 Winter Games and serve as an example for future Winter Games organizing committees to follow.\nCho, who led the successful bid for 2018 and is chairman of Korean Airlines, was brought aboard last year with POCOG mired in bureaucracy, failing to generate sufficient sponsorship revenue and absent domestic or international communications.\nBut in the past month Cho has become wrapped in a public relations debacle at Korean Airlines over the actions of his daughter, then a KAL vice president. Aboard a Dec. 5 KAL flight from New York, Heather Cho demanded that it return to the gate over the way a flight attendant served nuts. She resigned all connections to KAL in the aftermath and was arrested in Seoul this week over charges connected to the incident.",

The Giulio Contarini Bust and the Drawings it inspired , exhib. cat., New York, Salander-O\u2019Reilly, 2001-2, p. 40, illus.\nThis drawing is part of a series by Giambattista after a bust of Giulio Contarini ( circa 1500-1580) by Alessandro Vittoria (1525-1608). Vittoria was born in the Veneto and trained with Jacopo Sansovino. Contarini was a Procurator of San Marco and a patron of the arts. The sculpture (fig. 1) which Giambattista and his son Domenico depicted in at least a dozen other chalk drawings was and remains in the church of Santa Maria del Giglio in Venice. Tiepolo drew the bust from the front, right and left three quarter view, profile and even from the back of the head. All are executed in chalk, but several are more summarily described than others where there is a rich build up of the red and white chalk. Some of these more rapidly executed sketches were attributed to Domenico by Knox and Martin in their 1987 Master Drawings article ( op. cit. , pp. 159-60). George Knox ( op. cit. , 2000, pp. 40-1) has convincingly shown that Giovanni Battista executed his drawings not after the marble but after a terracotta bust, recently acquired by the National Gallery of Canada (fig. 1; see exhib. cat. Salander-O\u2019Reilly, 2000-1, pp. 12-28). The terracotta bears an inscription that incorrectly identified the model as Titian, an identification Tiepolo most likely assumed as well when he executed the drawings. Giambattista\u2019s drawings after Vittoria\u2019s sculptures are one of several examples of Tiepolo finding inspiration from earlier artists \u2014 both painters and sculptors. Tiepolo made drawings of another portrait bust by Vittoria, this one of the artist Palma Giovane (a terracotta version of which is in the Kunsthistoriches Museum, Vienna). There are also several drawings after Antique sculpture (Knox, Giambattista and Domenico Tiepolo. A Study and Catalogue Raisonn\u00e9 of the Chalk Drawings , Oxford, 1980, K.6-9, M.260, 272, 459, 527, 655, 661, 67-82). In addition, Tiepolo executed drawings after paintings by Veronese, Peter Paul Rubens and Guido Reni (Knox, 1987, op. cit. , pp. 158, 162, notes 3, 4). Knox and Martin date the Contarini drawings to around 1742-3 based upon comparison with the Palma Giovane sheets and similar heads found in paintings by Tiepolo from the 1740s.",

        "raw_content": "HomeCommunity & SustainabilityHoi An Suffering of disaffection of Western Visitors\nVietnam, Hoi An, culture\nHoi An tourism over-commercialisation starts to have a rippled effect on tourist arrivals. Although the UNESCO World Heritage City in Central Vietnam continues to attract more tourists, local authorities witness a decline in arrivals from Western countries and particularly Europe.\nThe evolution of tourist arrivals to Hoi An -since its inception into UNESCO World Heritage List- created miracles for the small town in Central Vietnam. In the year of its inscription by the UNESCO, Hoi An was receiving 160,314 domestic and international visitors. A decade later, Hoi An passed for the first time the million domestic and international travellers. Total visitors now is around 4.5 million, including 2.8 million international travellers. More than two million travellers already visited Quang Nam province in the first six months of this year.\nThis of course has been putting pressure on the city which has a population of less than 100,000 inhabitants, although tourism is still perceived as a positive factor by local residents. A survey published in 2017 in the International Journal of Tourism Sciences indicates that residents largely saw positive impacts of tourism on an economic and socio-cultural scale but not on the environment.\nDespite having implemented a year ago a US$6 fee to enter the historical town, the city is often crowded with hordes of visitors invading the narrow streets of the town and looking often for the same kind of attractions \u2013 handicraft workshops, craft and food markets, cheap souvenirs and food.\nA couple of days ago, the Chairman of Quang Nam Tourism Association, Vo Van Van, complaint that the city was witnessing a reduction in the number of European and North American visitors. He then explained it partly to the fact that the quality of local tourist products, especially services, did not match expectation.\nVice Chairman of Hoi An People\u2019s Committee Nguyen Van Son said based on objective assessment of factors that affect the number of visitors, the city decided to focus on tourism products that would highlight local traditional culture, nature in relation with communities living in the city and surroundings.\nSurveys already point that tours associated with agricultural production, handicraft villages, eco-tourism, community-based tours and sea sports are favoured by European visitors. While historical heritage sites such as Hoi An urban structure and My Son sacred sites with their old Champa temples are already classical elements of any tours. Part of tours is also the Cu Lao Cham bio reserve, However, local eco- and community-based tourism products remain still largely untapped.\nChairman of the provincial People\u2019s Committee Dinh Van Thu stressed that local agencies and administrations should constantly renew their tourism products along with enhancing service quality. Local communities should then receive more attention from tourism stakeholders, with some inside villages being promoted as \u201clocal ambassador\u201d.\nIn addition, the province plans to expand international cooperation to promote its tourism in the world, with focus on major markets such as Europe, North America, Japan, South Korea, India and the ASEAN.\nAPEC Hosting is a Unique Opportunity for Vietnam\nTAT promotes Songkran 2018 Celebration Nationwide",

Also great how they put it right before the start of LoTR.\nI'm kinda glad they are splitting it, gives them more opportunity to keep as much of the book as possible.

Thoroughly enjoyed it.\nI liked the action and the plot. Just a very wonderful movie.\nNice portrait of Gandalf. Thank you, Steph.\nYour observation of the Dwarves being somewhat Disneyesque is consistent with some of the reviews I've been seeing in the local papers. I'm planning to see the movie next week, weather permitting.\nPermalink Reply by Gwaithmir on February 8, 2013 at 11:11am\nI went to see The Hobbit last month. Despite the negative comments of a few critics, I enjoyed it very much. The movie was as much of a work of art as Lord of the Rings. Elijah Woods looked very much like a younger Frodo. Ian McKellen still looked like Gandalf the Grey. Cate Blanchette appeared slightly older and less serene as Galadriel, but still quite beautiful. Thorin Oakenshield looked more like a Klingon than a Dwarf and even seemed to behave that way in a few scenes.\nI was a bit disappointed that Arwen (Liv Tyler) didn\u2019t make at least a cameo appearance in the Rivendell scenes. The same could be said of her brothers Elladan and Elrohir, who also did not appear in the Lord of the Rings films (except for a 10-second cameo), even though they played a major role in the books.\nMost of The Hobbit kept with the LotR tradition. The scenery in the outdoor shots was magnificent! The digital imagery was excellent in spite of some critics\u2019 claim that it looked cartoonish. While the distant views of Rivendell may have looked a bit ethereal, I think the effect was intentional. Imladris was, after all, a magical Elvish realm.\nA couple of the action scenes in the last 20 minutes of the film were a bit too silly for my taste and seemed more fitting for an Indiana Jones film. Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to the next installment in December.\nPermalink Reply by Gwaithmir on January 28, 2014 at 10:43am\nLate in December I went to see The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. I enjoyed it more than the first installment. I found the actions scenes in this film to be a bit more credible than in the first. The acting seemed a bit better too and the costuming looked more medieval. At least Thorin Oakenshield didn't look like a Klingon, like in the first installment.\nI eagerly await the comments of other participants here. Did you enjoy the second film and do you plan to see the next one this summer?",

I laughed. This picture represents the twin things that have ruled our lives for the past several years.\nMy son in his wheelchair, and my daughter with her dance aspirations. It's a photo I could have taken myself to depict 'my family'.\nInterestingly the content of the blog from which I sourced the photo (linked above), had a very different story attached to it.\nIt was a story of a face-off between a lady in a wheelchair, and the choreographer of a ballet. It's a thought provoking recount of how one's own situation, dictates how we react to various scenarios.\nCertainly I have been known to be hyper-sensitive to many disability related issues.\nI recall getting in to a fiery debate regarding the use of disabled rest room facilities by a plethora of 'others' who are not 'disabled', but consider themselves so. They are not 'disabled' by nature of having young children in tow, or being in a hurry to 'go'. That is 'incovenienced', not 'disabled'. Or so I said at the time.\nThe debate did not go well, with me leaving the discussion fairly upset.\nI couldn't make them see, and clearly they felt I was being unreasonable.\nThe sign on Rest Rooms and Parking Spaces clearly depicts a person in a wheelchair. It does not depict a mother with a shopping trolley or a pram, or someone whose left their run to the loo too late to want to wait in a queue. People in wheelchairs can not use other facilities. Mothers with prams, and people with bladder control issues, can. It's actually a simple courtesy.\nI have a big van with a ramp and a government issued Disability Parking Permit, which clearly states 'to be used only when transporting the person listed hereon'. I would no more park in a disabled parking bay without my son on board, than fly to the moon. Yet I see others do it all the time. They take exception when I say something...and I always do.\nSimilarly, no matter how many children or babies I've had in tow (and I have four children), I have never ever used the Disabled toilet facilities. It's wrong. There are Parent and Baby Rest Rooms in most modern shopping centres these days. Why use the very few Disabled toilet facilities when the Disabled have nowhere else to go?\nI accept that 'some' Disabled facilities are dually used by customers mobilising in wheelchairs and Parents with children where signed as such. But that is not in the majority.\nI've had to haul up stakes half way through shopping and go home with Mr A in his younger days, because someone decided that their needs for 'convenience' were greater than his for 'necessity'.\nPlease, please, please remember that it's tough enough for people in wheelchairs and their families.\nDon't make it tougher by parking in their parking bays and using their Rest Rooms.",

        "raw_content": "Faqs About The No Asset Bankruptcy\nWhen you file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the trustee has the right to take possession of some of your assets so that he or she can sell them to pay off creditors. However, if you do not have any assets that the trustee can take, you might have to file a no asset bankruptcy. Here is what you need to know about the process.\nWhat Is a No Asset Bankruptcy?\nIn each state, bankruptcy filers are allowed to keep assets that total value is equivalent to a certain amount. For instance, if your state allows you to keep assets totaling up to $25,000, you can keep those assets whose value add up to that amount, such as your car and home. The remaining assets are sold by the trustee.\nHowever, if you do not have any assets of value after the state allowance, you could qualify for a no asset bankruptcy. In essence, you have absolutely no assets that can be sold to earn money to pay off the creditors.\nFiling for a no asset bankruptcy is essentially the same as filing for a normal bankruptcy. You first need to determine if you are eligible to file for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. In each state, you have to meet certain income requirements. Since the requirements can vary from state to state, it is important you talk to your attorney to determine if you qualify.\nPart of the qualification process is determining how much value your assets have. Even though the trustee will double-check the valuations you and your attorney place on the assets, it is idea for you to know the values so that you can determine whether or not the state allowance will cover your assets.\nYou would need to complete your bankruptcy documentation and submit it to the court. When the court receives your documentation, notice is given to all of your creditors that you are filing for bankruptcy.\nEven though you have no assets, you still must attend the 341 hearing. The hearing is a chance for your creditors to challenge the canceling of their debts. It is also a chance for the trustee to ask specific questions about your filing. For instance, the trustee might ask you to confirm the amount of income you are claiming to receive.\nOnce the trustee has determined that you are eligible for a Chapter 7 and that you deserve a discharge, the court will approve it.\nWhether you believe you qualify for a no assets bankruptcy or you do have assets that could be taken in the process, it is important you confer with an attorney before filing. He or she can help you understand your state's allowance and what to expect.\nFor professional legal help, contact a law firm such as Morrison & Murff.",

        "raw_content": "Condensed MilkDavid Wallace2018-12-10T05:17:37+00:00\nCondensed milk is a sweet and thick dairy product used in many desserts and drinks.\nWhat is Condensed Milk?\nCondensed milk is a sweet and thick dairy product resulting after the evaporation of water from pasteurized milk. Condensed milk, also called sweetened condensed milk, is the sweetened form of evaporated milk. If produced and canned appropriately, condensed milk has a shelf life of around two years without refrigeration, which is much longer than that of most dairy products.\nMaking condensed milk is a fairly simple process, however it does require specialized machinery, so it is not common for home cooks to make. Milk is first pasteurized, and then put into a condenser. This machine has low pressure inside, which allows the milk to boil at a lower temperature. In doing this it is possible to remove around 60% of the water in the milk without scalding or burning it. After the milk has been evaporated, sugar is added to a level of about 45% of the final product. This is then canned and sent to stores for sale. This process makes milk thick, like syrup, and extremely sweet. Also, by concentrating the milk and adding sugar, it becomes calorically dense.\nGale Borden Junior in the United States is recognized as creating the industry of condensed milk. A French dairyman first condensed milk in the 1820\u2019s, but the process was perfected by Borden in 1853. He used a process similar to condensing juices on milk, and after much trial and error came up with Eagle brand condensed milk. This condensed milk gave wide access to dairy products to people who were not close to a cow. Borden\u2019s business grew dramatically during the civil war because there was a strong need for soldiers to have nutritious and high calorie foods that they could take with them. After the war, the demand grew rapidly for condensed milk, which leads to a large number of creameries opening in the United States and Canada. However, the supply quickly out grew the demand, and in 1912 many creameries had to go out of business. World War I again sparked interest in large amounts of condensed milk for rations in soldier\u2019s packs.\nToday, condensed milk is used in many desserts and drinks all throughout the world. In England and many parts of South East Asia and China, condensed milk is added to tea or coffee for additional sweetness and flavor. It is also used in place of jam or jelly in many countries on toast. Many Latin American dishes feature sweetened condensed milk including tres leches cake from Mexico, and brigadeiros and pudim from Brazil. It is also common to place cans of sweetened condensed milk in a double boiler, causing it to turn a rich caramel color. This product, called dulce de leche, is used widely throughout Central and South America, as well as in Russia.",

        "raw_content": "That is a purely subjective. I like what I like but you may not like it at all. If you have been drinking coffee for many years you probably already have a favorite coffee. I love to try new coffee from regions that I have never tried before. Kona and Jamaican coffees are touted as some of the best and the prices reflect that, costing upwards of $25 or more per pound.\nThe largest producer of coffee is Brazil, much of which is grown on huge farms and harvested by machine. Many of these coffees go into the more commonly available grocery store brands. Colombia is next with the name being synonymous with coffee. The best coffees, however, come from the smaller family operated farms, where the berries are hand picked, washed and hulled, and finally, the actual coffee beans inside the berries are dried for export.\nSince crops can vary from year to year, the same coffee offerings today may be quite different the following year. We rely on our coffee supplier to search out and select only the best, 100% Arabica coffee beans. Each coffee growing region produces its own unique varieties. Many factors determine the final harvest including weather, elevation, soil, and how the beans are processed just to name a few. I have had and loved coffees from Indonesia, Africa, Central and South America, and many other parts of the world. Since I do add 1/2 and 1/2 and sweetener I prefer a darker roast. Some of my favorites come from Sumatra, Costa Rica and Colombia. If you aren\u2019t sure I recommend trying a med roasted Colombian which will usually have a milder, and richer flavor and is good black or with cream and sugar. Feeling adventurous, go for the Ethiopian, dark and earthy with a very strong finish. If you want it from the source, most say that Ethiopia is where coffee was first discovered.",

        "raw_content": "The only thing I find irritating about this is knowing that people actually cared about it. \"Hey look! I'm turning someone's lights on and off over the internet!\" How bankrupt does your life have to be to... Ah, fuck it. Christmas: it brings out the stupid in all of us.\nOne of these days I'm going to invent a device that we're going to start implanting in (nearly) all people. The device will be designed to explode whenever it senses that they're doing something really stupid. And by \"whenever it senses that they're doing something really stupid\" I mean \"randomly.\" C'mon, you know it's still going to have a pretty good hit rate in terms of the original design specs considering how retarded humanity is.\nHey, I hate to be redundant with my posting, but I'm going to make this two posts in a row about Ghastly's Ghastly Comic. Why? Because this guy is a fucking genius. There are a ton of strips I've come across in the archive that are just bloody fantastic, but this one is beyond everything.\nIf you'd like an introduction to Drunk and Bitter Jesus, check out this strip. Or for a continuation, go here. If you're wondering what the fuck \"furries\" are, just go do a Google search. No, it's not some kind of bestiality thing (as far as I can tell) or necessarily even sexual (although I'm sure it goes that way for some of them, the fucking freaks) (Hey, I'm always accepting of other peoples' interests as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else, but fuck it. May as well go after anyone I can. I mean, it's not like some dipshit in a moose costume is going to do anything about it.).\nAlso, a belated thanks for the holiday wishes a couple of commenters sent my way that I was previously too lazy to respond to. Sarah and Angie are alright, but the rest of you are assholes.\nFinally, if you're wondering about the propriety of using \"alright,\" suck on this.\nI just saw something on Blogger's sign-on page entitled \"Learning Blogger.\" And I'm like, huh? How fucking hard it it to set up and write a 'blog? I can do it, and I'm damn near fucking retarded (yet I'm still smarter than a good number of people out there... a seemingly unresolved that paradox, until I realize just how goddamn dumb people are). When it comes to 'blogging, you click on some shit, type some other shit, and then put up a bunch of worthless crap that you think someone somewhere might care about even though no one does. But then once you look at the quality of most 'blogs out there, you do see that people need special help. Sure, there are a couple of people who can float, but for the most part the genre sucks. If they had me put together a how-to guide on 'blogging, it would be pretty short. Here's the by and large of my advice on 'blogging: don't.\nAre we going to the zoo?\n\"Why religion is stupid\"\nI of course want to be #1 for this one, but being #4 isn't horrid. If you do the same search on metacrawler, I'm #2. That's how someone originally got here, but I decided to try Google for the fuck of it and post that since, as we all know, Google is more authoritative because Google is god. Which brings kind of a religious aspect into it, which means that Google is stupid. Fuck Google.\nHey, just be glad I'm either not posting or simply posting (mostly) random meaningless crap, as opposed to droning on endlessly about Project 3-Series. Because, believe me, I could. Just ask ETP, and he'll tell you what a little bitch I am.\nBetter not tell BOETP.\n...Steve finally was ready and Stacy screamed like a loon as his cum rocketed into her cunt. See it all here...\nI've gotta give this one credit for at least being the most, uh, colorful spam subject that I've seen in awhile. Also, I now know that my life will never be complete since I will never get to make a woman scream like a loon.\nThis should make us liberals happy.\nI'm not sure if I can love Maureen Dowd more than I do right now.\nIt's always weird seeing stuff like this. I mean, it just doesn't make sense for religious people to be holding hundreds-of-years-old grudges over a bunch of stupid bones. They're usually more rational than that.\nJohn Paul has also apologized for sins committed by Catholics against other Christians.\nWhy has he had to do this? Didn't Jesus already die to absolve all of those people of their sins? It's all very confusing to me. Also, has the Pope ever apologized for sins committed by Catholics against non-Christians? Look, you guys have played a big part in making this whole world a shithole, but you did give us those neat Catholic school uniforms. Let's just call the whole thing a wash if in addition you'll agree to just leave everyone else the hell alone. Whaddya say?\nIn an \"announcement\" sure to disappoint all five of you, the level of posts will probably slow to a trickle if not drop off entirely over the past few days. Not like anyone will notice, since both the number and quality of posts have really declined in the past few weeks. On the quality front, that's pretty fucking sad for a site that started at a very low level of what would hardly be called quality.\nAnyway, for all two of you who are curious, I'll be at home for the entire Thanksgiving holiday, so I will have no excuse (other than apathy and the aforementioned chronic masturbation) if I didn't update this 'blog. While I'm in town I'll have continual 'net access so that I can still read the dearth of comments, but I probably won't even post a nugget or two. But please, try not to kill yourself if I didn't post anything at all.\nWhile we're working on a loose theme, I need to talk about the great Blondes, Brunettes, and Redheads disaster of 1997. That was the year that ETP and I turned 18. We had one friend, though, who turned 18 several months ahead of us. His birthday was in February, while ETP doesn't turn older until May and I don't get mine until June. So this was like a big deal, right? We finally have a friend who can go and just walk into a store and buy porn. Sure, we had the Internet, but that was still the days of slow-ass dialup. So yeah, big deal.\nIn the Denver area, we have a chain of stores called Newsland. I don't know if their empire expands beyond Denver, but whatever. Anyway, they have a fairly sizable section of skin rags (or at least, they used to). Once this friend of ours turned 18, we were immediately like \"Dude, can you go buy us some porn?\" Of course, back in that day, \"porn\" to us was still issues of Playboy and shit, as opposed to things involving a man, another man, a midget and a woman doing things to a donkey or a monkey fucking a coconut. But I'm getting away from our story.\nSo we go to Newsland, and I specifically ask this kid to check out Playboy's Newsstand Special (now known as Special Editions; you know, the ones chock-full of ultra-softcore pictures but mercifully few words) entitled, yup, you guessed it, Blondes, Brunettes, and Redheads. I even gave the kid CASH to take with him into Newsland.\nNow, if you were anyone else, what would you think? That maybe I wanted you to buy this particular issue? No, of course you wouldn't. You'd go inside, check out the issue, then come back emptyhanded so that I have nothing to look at when I'm full-handed later on that evening. You know, looking back, I'll bet that pussy didn't even go into the porn section to look at things, because he was a dipshit about that kind of stuff.\nI never forgave him for that, but that was the least of our issues as things really went downhill in terms of our relationship with him several years later on. One of these days I'll get to the story of how we ruined that kid's wedding.\nblacks made me watch as they fuck my wife\nDude, blacks didn't make you watch as they fucked your wife. It was the media who made you watch as they fucked your wife.\nI'm gonna have to side with the neighbors on this one. There's nothing worse than having to put up with unnecessary shit because of selfish fucking neighbors who don't bother to think about the impact of what they're doing on anyone else. Yeah, we all love those big, bright Xmas displays, but most of us look at them recreationally, not because it's practically on our own lawn.\n\"If you can't even put up a display these days, what kind of people have we become?\"\nOkay, dude, there's only one way I can say this: SHUT THE FUCK UP. You spent one-hundred and fifty thousand dollars on it. That's not a \"display,\" that's a spectacle or an extravaganza at least. As far as what kind of people we've become, what the fuck? Piss off, you yuppie fuck with way too much money to burn. The kind of people we've become, apparently, are narcissitic, selfish, pieces of shit.\nTo top it off, the cocksucker erected a big talking statue of the Grinch. Yeah, that's the adult way to handle it, chief. To continue on theme with the last post, that guy looks like a redhead, too. Redheads are nothing but a bunch of fucking tools.\nIf you're near Princeton and you have a thing for redheads, you can find what you need in one convenient location. Hey, CNN: if you're going to run stories like this, include better pictures.\n\"... the group meets in a red-painted room munching on red snacks such as Twizzlers and sipping cranberry juice.\"\nAlright kids, settle down. It's nice that you have your little club and all, but we wouldn't want it to get goofy or anything.\nETP has always had a big thing for redheads, and while I don't have any particular fetish for it, I can definitely go for a hot redhead. But then again, I like a hot brunette or a hot blonde, too. I don't discriminate. No fat chicks.\nEven if I didn't agree with the cheerleading, there needs to be more than just one new GYWO strip soon.\nLime on lime crime\nHey, so you know what'd probably go pretty good with key lime pie? Limeade. Or, beer.\nI like Bill Maher's take on this issue. If the Republicans want Article II repealed, fine. Then Democrats get the 22nd Amendment on presidential term limits repealed. The penalties offset, allowing Republicans to run Schwarzenegger and Democrats to run Clinton. Both sides get to run who they really want to run, and the country is fucking entertained.\n\"... this has caused pregnant women to race back to our shores to make certain their children's political potential is not somehow beclouded.\"\nBill, slow down. Considering the very narrow likelihood of a child growing up to be president, I don't think this will be a primary concern on the mind of someone who's about to push a relatively large object out of a small bodily opening. The only woman overly concerned with getting back stateside over this issue is a retarded one.\nConsidering the current administration, Schwarzenegger as president doesn't sound too horrid. That's pretty bad when a concept that's ridiculous on its face is preferable to what we've got. And at least Arnold is in favor of some of the things that I'm down with, like abortion and gays. And after seeing him at the RNC, you know the guy has some skills, which gives him another leg up on Bush. I don't know how well things are going in California at this point, and I guess we really won't know the results of their little experiment until we see some long-term results, but at least he hasn't run the state into the ground yet.\nThen again, I really don't want to put up with four (if not more) years of shitty action movie references and every other word ending in \"-inator.\" Are you ready for the Presidentinator? I'm not.\n... Because guns don't kill people, stupid people with guns kill people.\nOkay, so I'm a pretty big Linux fan. Well, maybe not today, since I spent a bunch of fucking time installing shit so that Mozilla could play streaming Windows Media (via mplayer-plugin), but at least the fucking thing works. Still, in addition to getting fed up with my OS of choice from time to time, I also get pretty goddamn sick of the Linux and Open Source communities in general. \"Oh, look at me, I'm so much cooler and smarter than everyone else because I use Linux!\" \"Open Source is better just because I think it is!\" \"Microsoft sucks!\" You know, stupid mindless shit like that coming from 15-year-old boys who spend all their time locked in the computer lab. Not that there's, you know, anything wrong with that. Hey, screw that, yes there is -- when I was 15, I spent a decent amount of time playing with computers, but I was also out stalking girls who'd never want to have anything to do with me. I was a nerd, but I was cool. Well, no I wasn't.\nAnyway, what the fuck was I going to talk about before yet another unnecessary flashback? Oh yeah, the mindless love of Linux can turn out decently amusing sometimes, like with this product. I need to check out that site some more, but so far I've also found this, which is pretty funny.\nHey, all you would-be assasins and patsies: now's your chance to kill a president without getting in trouble for it!\n... And one more goddamnit\nHey, guys: if you're having trouble getting your woman off, then just shove some electrodes in her back and start punching buttons!\nOf course, something like this wouldn't actually be a boon to men, it'd be a replacement. Especially for weak, inexperienced, generally ineffective men like me. Can I at least watch?\nOkay, jokes aside, I get that this is designed for extreme cases of women with orgasmic dysfunction, which is a nice euphemism for \"man doesn't know what the fuck he's doing\" or \"ice queen.\" Alright now, relax, ladies. I don't know much, but I do know that you're complicated, so just leave me alone (much like you've been doing for, oh, the majority of 25 years).\nHell, I could go on all night making jokes about this, but just one more. I also want to make a device of this nature just so that I can name it the Orgasmarator. Okay, seriously, that's all for now.\nI always hate leaving for the day (or just for a short period, as is often the case) on a child sex offense joke, because for some reason I always feel as if leaving one of those posts at the very top is what's going to get me in trouble. Because, you know, the FBI won't read two posts to help in establishing the \"pattern of behavior\" that they're after.\nAnyway, I've complained about those lame-ass personal ads with lame-ass quotes from lame-ass people that appear on web pages, but here's one I just came across that I found mildly amusing:\nLast great book I read: \"Catholic Digest, it is the only thing in my mom's bathroom.\"\nYeah, that's pretty much where Catholic Digest belongs -- in with all the rest of the shit.\nworthless fucking little girl cocksuckers\nThat isn't very nice -- she isn't worthless. I mean, she is sucking cock, after all. God damn it, hands down I have got to show up in the worst engine searches. Again, just a reflection of the quality of my writing and my command of the filthiest parts of the language. Man, nobody sees the things that I see (as a result of Googlers in addition to my own illnesses).\nOkay, I got in a joke about child molestation thanks to some other pedophile on Yahoo, so I think I can shut it down for now.\nSeveral years ago, KMFDM released their album Adios, and a sticker on the plastic wrapper billed it as \"The historic farewell album.\" Yes, the historic farewell album, which was neither. Not historic since, well, it's just KMFDM. I like 'em and all, but you know, not that important. And of course it wasn't a farewell because shortly thereafter they broke up, reformed, reversed their name, and sucked. The new project, MDFMK, was pretty much the same minus En Esch and G\u00fcnter Schulz (which I guess is damn near everyone big) and not as good as KMFDM. They had that song \"Rabble Rouser\" and... That's pretty much it. After that they re-reversed their name back to KMFDM, they got the old band back together, and put out WWIII, to which all I could say was \"That's not enough!\" Even if it wasn't stellar, I do have to give mad props for any album with a song about George W. Bush that's simply entitled \"Moron.\"\nAnyway, I posted a link awhile back about Norman Cook, AKA FatBoy Slim. Thanks to a reminder from ETP, I went out looking for the new album, Palookaville. A sticker on its plastic wrapper billed it as \"The triumphant return of FatBoy Slim!\" So, was the sticker once again lying, or was there some merit to its claims?\nI was pleasantly surprised to find that the album is pretty good. Not quite \"triumphant,\" though. I would consider it a triumph if it surpassed You've Come a Long Way, Baby or Better Living Through Chemistry, which it does not. But it most certainly surpasses Halfway Between the Gutter and the Stars, which while it had some definitely cool stuff and the cool cover with the sun shining through that guy's crotch, also had a bunch of stuff that was just plain shit, something I'm not used to with Norman.\nMost of Palookaville is pretty good, at least as far as my tastes go. I can't stand track eight, which goes to show you that Norman just won't ever be what he once was, but otherwise I really like the album. Tracks 1-7 especially, with everything after eight being decent as well.\nThe album comes off as being somewhat original and not too horribly derivative. Of course, that's just how it is with techno/electronica/dance (technonicance from here on out to save me from having to type all those slashes and other shit) -- pretty much everything is derivative of prior work. In fact, I'm planning on releasing a techno album some day entitled dy/dx just to show that I know how it works in the world of technonicance. I dunno, I'm not really very savvy when it comes to music, but it at least had a somewhat different feel than the older stuff while not straying too far from roots. I could be wrong, but it was definitely less derivative than, say, Moby's 18, which could have been entitled Play 2: Not as Good.\nThere is plenty of the old technonicance standby of having a bunch of annoyingly repetitive shit that is somehow still very catchy and, as a result, not that annoying. Kinda like reggae, only good.\nI like tracks six and seven the best on Palookaville. I'm guessing with my limited lyrical insight that those are the tracks that stemmed from FatBoy's marital troubles. Nothing personal against FatBoy, but if your marriage going into the shitter and then being resurrected brings about stuff like those two tracks, then you and your wife need to have a lot more strife between the two of you.\nSo yeah, I've gotta say that I feel good about FatBoy once again. Granted, it's never going to be good again, but that's to be expected. I don't think any artist can stay at their peak for all that long, with the exception of Fluke who lives on peak (probably aided by the fact that so many of the sounds in new stuff are straight out of the old stuff, and it somehow stays fresh). But that's okay, because at least I have some new technonicance to wear out before I inevitably go back to playing Fluke non-stop.\nAlso, this post marks the first time in I don't know how fucking long where I've hit double digits in my post count for the day. Not like that means anything, but I know that I too am well past my prime already, and it's nice to re-visit the good ol' days of quantity over quality. As opposed to modern times, where you get neither quality nor quantity.\nYou know, I've been out here doing all this posting today, and I haven't done any complaining about how stupid I think you are if you believe in Jesus. Hey, I hold some dumb ideas myself, but at least I don't believe in some invisible man in the sky and his son, who died for all our sins.\nAnyway, that was just a nice preface to this \"In Pictures\" feature from the BBC on an art exposition entitled \"100 Artists See God.\" From the samples, a lot of it looks pretty pretentious, I can' see how some of it has anything to do with God (but of course I wouldn't, I'm not an \"artist\"), we know for a fact that Leonard Nimoy just plain likes boobs, and #6 -- to me, at least -- is pretty neat.\n\"... And he has a son. What is this, Bonanza?\"\n- Bill Maher on God and Jesus\nHere's one thing I wanted to post earlier in the week but couldn't because Blogger was being a dooshebag. Yet another piece of evidence in support of why (nearly) everyone should be killed.\nOh yeah, here's one more thing I've been meaning to comment on for the past couple of weeks but have been too busy or to apathetic to get around to. I still like GYWO and all, but, umm, no.\nWe're smarter than those motherfuckers.\nClearly we're not, otherwise we wouldn't be here.\nWe can learn more quickly than those motherfuckers.\nClearly we can't, because we had four goddamn years to get clued in and they still beat us to the finish line.\nWe can be more ruthless than those motherfuckers.\nWe don't have a Karl Rove.\nWe can be some six-million-dollar motherfuckers ourselves.\nAren't we supposed to be the party of poor motherfuckers? Until ETP, BOETP and I get our third way going, which I'm tentatively calling Neo-Liberalism, we're not going to be Lee Majors.\n... Cut some stuff that I can get on board with...\nThere's an election in two years.\nThere's nothing we can't do.\nYeah, well, this is what we started telling ourselves in 2000, and look what it got us. It's basically been nothing but a bunch of this rah-rah, second place isn't so bad, we'll get 'em next time, total denial bullshit since November 2nd. Or maybe it hasn't, or I just haven't been looking in the right places. Either way, this is not what we need to be doing. We need to get pissed, and we need to act. And for fuck's sake, finally act in ways that will actually do something, instead of just perpetuating the empty rhetoric.\nThat's okay, though, because it's the Democrats who are the obstructionists with no interest in protecting us.\nI like how Republican excuses are predicated on the old standby, \"protecting the troops.\" I can understand some merit in the argument for not switching things up, but you know what? I'm just going to come out and say what I've been wanting to say for awhile but have been too big of a pussy to say: fuck the troops. Fuck 'em.\nAfter the election, ETP noted that a good number of them probably voted for Team Bush. You know, the group of people who bullshitted and lied to start a war that's killed, you know, maybe one or two troops. Oh, that, or, more than a thousand. And of course, that doesn't cover the casualties, the forgotten injured who didn't die but will have to live with things like nerve damage and missing limbs and just plain being fucked up thanks to the war. But you know what? Fuck 'em all the same. If that's who they want in office, then they deserve it. Of course, that says nothing for the undoubted tens of troops who didn't vote for Bush, but work with me. I'm simplifying, and that makes it, uh, simpler.\nSo yeah, screw this bullshit notion that you did it for the troops. Maybe if you guys in Congress really, really cared about those precious troops, you would have done something to keep them out of harm's way in the first place. So fuck Dennis Hastert, fuck the rest of Congress, fuck the military, and fuck everyone, come to think of it.\nYeah, it sucks. Also, it looks as if Project 3-Series is a success and I buy a gun (which I may as well do), I'm automatically Republican, so I had better get used to liking all this stupid bullshit real soon now.\nAfter about a hundred more years without any changes, I finally posted some updates to the sailor schoolgirl site. Yup.\nJust as a quick Japanese porn history lesson, that second model, Ai Nagase (or Nagase Ai, if you prefer to go with the traditional name order I've got going on the site), is a pretty big porn star (and legal, I will add, to put some of you at ease, since this is Japan we're talking about). Big enough that most of the pictures I have of her aren't postable if I want to keep with the \"clean & wholesome yet still dirty\" motif I've got going (as opposed to just all-out dirty, even though I think that staying away from full-blown nudity is insidiously dirtier). She's rather popular, from what I understand, or at least popular enough that they make this adult product based on her. She's also 145 centimeters tall, which is about 4'9\" for those of you keeping track at home. That's just about the neatest thing ever.\nYou know, it just never really occurred to me that maybe the whole Monday Night Football thing really might be about race. I feel kinda like the South Park boys in that episode about the South Park flag, which depicted a bunch of white people hanging a black person. Throughout the episode, they boys don't see what the big deal is about the flag, and people like Chef are all pissed off at them. But then it's realized that the boys don't see the problem not because they're racist, but because they aren't racist. They were colorblind and couldn't even bring race into the equation. Anyway, I'm probably not explaining it very well, but for those who saw the episode you'll know what the fuck I'm babbling about.\nSo yeah, in addition to the fact that it just never occurred to me to make it a race issue since that's just not how I think, I'm also pretty stupid. But if that's really what it's about, it makes sense. And what I said before still stands -- everyone else is a fucking moron. I may not be clued in, but at least I'm not bent out of shape over what should be a non-issue. Whatever the hell the issue (or issues) might be.\nSo let him fight. Fuck him. 'Cause I'm real sure all of England would go up in flames if something happened to anyone in that stupid royal family. Why anyone on either side of the Atlantic gives a shit about them is beyond me.\nIf it wasn't for the fact that he's being replaced with probably an even more ignorant dumbass, I would be able to take a lot of pleasure in Tom Daschle's defeat and departure from the Senate, because Daschle is a limp-dicked retard. You know, a Democrat.\nI don't know where the hell comments went. I thought it'd be some transient phenomena and they'd show back up after a not too long, but no such luck. Not that most people care, but I guess they'll return whenever it just fixes itself or I get in touch with HaloScan to have it resolved.\nHere is a blog that is getting linked solely because of its title.\nEurope, you can continue laughing now\nThis shit has gotten way out of hand. Terrell Owens (pronounce it Tuh-rell, because that pisses him off) is even apologizing over this non-issue? Has anyone else been following this saga? I wish I hadn't, but it's been ALL OVER all goddamn week. Look, I know this country is all uptight and shit, but this is insane. No, I did not see the promo, because I can't get motivated to watch my home team play, nonetheless any other teams on Monday night. Still, I cannot see how it was in any way offensive. The only thing that might offend me is Nicollette Sheridan. I don't know what she's looking like these days, but isn't she like 135 years old now?\nMichael Powell is \"disappointed\" in the promo. ABC wishes it \"hadn't aired.\" Fuck all of you pieces of shit. Michael Powell is officially on the list of people who we're going to throw a party over when they die. Fuck you and your puritanistic bullshit, fuck your need to turn this country even lamer than it already is. And fuck ABC for pussing out and not sticking to their guns. What, you guys are backing down because some tight-assed white Christians from middle America made a phone call to fill the voids in their empty lives? Fuck you, all of you, you goddamn pieces of shit.\nI hadn't heard Tony Dungy's take on things, that it was \"racially offensive.\" Racially offensive? How? Does Tony not like us mixing races or something? The only people I know who would find this shit offensive are insecure white guys who are all pissed off and jealous because they know that white bitches love that big, black cock. See? Now that was kinda racially offensive, Tony.\nJesus Christ I hate this place. And, oddly enough, I have Jesus to thank for this moronic bullshit. Of course, it's not directly His fault; it's His followers and the mindset that they're pushing. But fuck Jesus all the same. Fuck Jesus, fuck Michael Powell, fuck ABC and Tuh-rell Owens, and fuck Americans. God damn it I hate everything.\nGod damn it, can we just burn Texas down? And can we start by setting that one fucking parent who complained on fire? Jesus. This is what pisses me off about this country, because there are millions of people who are that fucking dumb. I can't tell from that article whether or not any kind of cross-dressing was actually part of the homecoming festivities, but it's all irrelevant. Cross-dressing has nothing to do with homosexuality. Is there some overlap there? Are there some gays who like to cross-dress? Yeah, of course. But there are plenty of straights who like to do it, too. Shit, how many women out there right now are wearing something made for men? I guess you're all a bunch of lesbians now, aren't 'ya? Well, one can hope, because that could be hot. Seriously, anyone who's taken three seconds of a basic psych course will hear the following: correlation does not imply causation. Try telling that to ignorant Christians (but I repeat myself).\nAs far as the other side goes, I can't say I'm a huge fan of men in women's clothing, but if you want to do it, then you do what you gotta do. I don't give a shit. Hell, I'd probably dress up in skirts and dresses myself if I thought I'd look good in them (which I wouldn't), especially since I'm already so feminized as it is.\nWho cares about a list of dangerous toys? How about a list of shitty toys? Hell, I could bang that out in about three seconds: all of them. All of them except for the toys that I'd buy. Yeah, if you're out toy shopping, just ask yourself: what would Bitter Little Man Buy? Make yourself a WWBLMB wristband if you need to, because I have the best taste in everything.\nFurthermore, I don't see how a product called \"carpet skates\" could be considered dangerous. Also, I find no end to the amusement over the Pocket Rocket Miniature Motorcycle. Yeah, the \"pocket rocket,\" a toy undoubtedly marketed at boys. \"Hey Butthead, I've got a pocket rocket. Check this out.\"\nLaw & Order: Criminal Intent just isn't that good. Especially not when compared to the original Law & Order or Law & Order: Sport Utility Vehicle (AKA Sex Crimes Unit). Have you ever noticed that every preview for L&O:CI could read as follows: \"Watch as Vincent D'Onofrio yells at a perp in the interrogation room on the next Law & Order: Criminal Intent!\" All that yelling is probably why he keeps landing himself in the hospital.\nSo Condi Rice has been tapped to be the next Secretary of State. Even though he just turned into the Administration's prison bitch (not to detract from Tony Blair, their overseas prison bitch), it was nice having Colin Powell as our chief diplomat since he was, you know, interested in diplomacy. Despite the fact that he was a huge pussy, it sure beats what I can only describe as the latest move in Bush's consolidation of power.\nI guess I'm okay at this point with Stephen Hadley being next in line for National Security Advisor, if only because now when he's mentioned on the news I can just go \"*sigh* Hadley...\"\nPresident Bush has instructed his new national security team to end the running battles between the State and Defense departments and the Central Intelligence Agency...\nYeah, that oughta be somewhat easier now since he has his man installed at the CIA, and his woman will be installed at State.\nIf a large-scale migration takes place, it could mark a transition between the institutions not seen since Henry Kissinger controlled both of them...\nThings are always good if you can make comparisons to Kissinger.\nYou know what? Fuck kids. And no, not like that, you sick pervert. I don't care about their glass blowing and dildo practice, kids don't have any fucking idea what \"busy\" is. Shit, I don't know what \"busy\" is, and I'm coming off a two-month bender at my job. Couple that with what might be qualified as heavy masturbating, and I'm getting a small inkling of what \"busy\" is, but these kids are (literally) years behind even me.\ngetting money to see your wife getting fucked\nWhat, you wanna get paid to watch your wife go jewelry shopping? Oh, wait -- that'd be getting paid to watch yourself get fucked. Sorry, pal.\nJust in time for Thanksgiving or Mideast warfare\npeople who fuck turkey\nAre they talking about the country or the animal?\nYeah, that's pretty much what I'm saying. Okay, well, not exactly.\nSince we're so sick of Democrats and pussy-ass liberals in general, we've decided that we need to start a new movement. A third way, if you will. It's mostly liberal, formed on the basis of things like abortion and gay marriage, along with the concept of a bunch of money for a small group of people (namely, us; then it, uh, trickles down from there). Basically, a merging of our liberal mindset with our inborn sense of greed. Who's in? Better get some lovin' while the gettin's good.\nDamn, that's a lot of cash.\nHere's one thing that was touched on in comments and has been getting some run in the past couple of days: talk about the so-called values voters. These are the people who would have voted for Bush anyway, but the simple genius here is just making sure that they actually get out there and do the voting. For so long, we heard that Democrats were registering new voters in record numbers, and that a high turnout on election day would only favor Kerry. Karl Rove just set to doing what he does best: tear down the opponents on their strong points, and mobilize your base. With that, the Republicans were able to cancel out any gains the Democrats were able to make in four years. Although it's not the only way to win an election, the Rove Doctrine seems damn near unbeatable. Couple Rove's philosophy with Kerry's suckitude, and R wins.\nI realize that I'm preaching to the chior, but you do realize that the direction this country has taken is being driven by the most ignorant fucking ones among us, right? Homophobes (let us not forget the 11 bans on same sex marriage that passed), misogynists (...\"stab a nearly born infant in the back of the head and suck its brains out...\" Yeah, 'cause that's what that's about), religious nuts, gun nuts, and nationalist zealots (not patriotism, nationalism) are FedExing us straight to hell.\nHey, I just thought of a great new slogan: \"Anybody but George W. Bush in 2008!\" Surely we can't fuck that up, can we?\nDespite this past weeks' awful loss, at least I still have my first true love, Maureen Dowd, to comfort me with her columns. Of course, that's not to say that I don't have other true loves, like Teresa Heinz Kerry. Okay, it sucked when she backed down and apologized for saying Laura Bush never had a real job, but she kinda had to. And I think I might have a chance with Teresa, since she apparently goes for losers. Didn't her first husband die? And her current hubby is John Kerry. Yeah, losers.\nThere's no crying in football!\nIgnoring the fact that they're still rich, Tuesday's loss made for a bad day in the Edwards household. But it just keeps getting worse. I'm still far from convinced that there's a god, but if there is, he just might be on the side of the Republicans after all. I mean, a just god would give breast cancer to someone like Lynne Cheney or something. Okay, okay, no one deserves a disease like breast cancer. Not even Brett Favre's wife (I suppose he's going to cry about that, too). But if you've ever prayed for your daughter to not be a lesbian (and you know Lynne Cheney has) just so it won't offend your stupid religious beliefs or embarass your husband politically, you deserve for something bad to happen to you.\nLet's just get this over with\nSo I'm sitting there Tuesday night, watching the returns coming in. Pretty much every state is going exactly how it was expected to go since that's how it went last time. All that's going though my head is the rhetorical question: Have we learned NOTHING in four years? I mean, Jesus Christ. Do people really want another four years of this bumbling fuck, getting us into unnecessary wars and inflaming the entire world while his supposed underlings destroy civil liberties, a woman's right to choose, and the separation of church and state? Oh, and do people really look forward to Supreme Court justices probably dying tomorrow so Bush can start making his appointments?\nApparently, they do. That's why Bush got a huge, sweeping mandate from across the entire country for another four years. Yeah, a solid victory, or another pretty close election. One of the two.\nOf course I ask myself, how the fuck can people be so goddamn stupid? Taking aside, for a minute, the fact that they're Americans. But god damn it, how the hell can you vote for Bush? Well, there's the fact that some people, for whatever reason, actually believe in Bush. Others (rich fucks) have something to gain. Then for everyone else, there's the fact that Kerry kinda fucking sucks.\nI've made no secret of my disdain for John Kerry. With the exception of the time he used the word \"Orwellian,\" he pretty much never gave me hope or inspiration. But that still wasn't as bad as the alternative in Bush. This, of course, makes me case study zero for what was wrong with the left in this election. So many people were saying \"anybody buy Bush.\" We started with the conclusion. While that may have worked for Vladimir Nabokov, it's no way to try and bring about change in government. We needed to start with the idea of having a really solid candidate first, and use that to make the case of why he should be in the Oval Office.\nOf course, there was virtually no one solid to run on the Democratic ticket. And, of course, most of us weren't stupid enough to accept anybody but Bush. I mean, if Hitler was resurrected and ran for the D nomination, no one would have gotten behind him. Well, except for maybe Michael Moore and Al Franken. Yes, I've expressed affection for both of those guys in one regard or another (even if both are completely unwavering liberals and one's a propagandist), but there are always going to be people who would support even a piece of shit (or, if you prefer, a giant douche dooshe) if you dressed it up and put a sign on it that said \"Democratic nominee.\"\nSo yes, Kerry sucked, but given the playing field, he was adequate. Or at least, he was sufficiently not un-adequate, and, you know what? Fuck it. You know what I mean.\nWhen it comes to Kerry, I realized awhile back that the left was fundamentally fucked. Say what you want about Bush (as many of us have), but a good deal of the people on his side genuinely support him. As opposed to the left, where many of us didn't really support Kerry, we just wanted to not support Bush. Not so good.\nSo, where did John Kerry himself go wrong? You mean, besides everywhere? Hell, where do we start? How about with \"the first presidential decision a candidate makes,\" choosing a running mate. Looking back, John Edwards was a really stupid choice for VP. They brought Edwards on board for what? For image. And then they didn't even make much use of him! When he was first picked, it's like \"Ooh! Finally some energy in this campaign!\" And after a couple of weeks, it's like he wasn't even there anymore. I also have to admit that every now and then, I found myself buying into the FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt) over the fact that Edwards had virtually no experience in anything. But, of course, it wouldn't have been the first time that someone got into a high post without much relevant experience (like, say, Bush). But yeah, a lawyer with two unremarkable years in the Senate would have been, as they kept saying, \"only a heartbeat away from the Presidency.\" Contrast this with Dick Cheney, who has lots of experience and is always a heartbeat away from not having a heartbeat anymore.\nETP and I were playing DOA online a couple of nights ago with this other guy. The other guy kept giving Eli shit for his battle tactics, which consisted of standing off a good distance and waiting for the other guy to bring the fight to him. Whether or not it pissed the other guy off, ETP was fighting rounds on his terms. And you know what? He won quite a few fights. The Republicans did this masterfully. They did things their way, and they forced the Democrats to play on Republican terms. Throughout the campaign, John Kerry and the whole Democratic party spent their time either twiddling their thumbs or going on defense. The Republicans scared them from doing anything aggressive and then attacked at their leisure.\nI understand why the Democrats played it safe, other than the fact that they're a bunch of candy-asses. It was a gamble either way. If they get aggressive, what might happen is that they lose their hard-fought image of being the non-vicious party of hope. Of course, if they stay docile, last Tuesday might happen.\nIn 2000, many liberals and Democrats could at least make excuses that Bush's victory was the result of Supreme Court interference or other malfeasance. Of course, despite the fact that a lot of that holds water, I still blamed Al Gore for being dumb enough to let that election be close to begin with. Barring any fifteenth-hour bombshells, the left has no excuses this time around. Not that they won't make (and aren't already making) excuses, but they don't have ones as good as last time around. No, this was a fuck-up, plain and simple.\nJohn Kerry said after his defeat something to the effect of \"we have made the case for change.\" No, Bush made the case for change all on his own. He made the case by being a shitty fucking President. But despite all of Bush's fuck-ups, John Kerry still could not get his shit together for six goddamn seconds to tell people, \"Alright, y'all, check this out.\" A great set-up, and he blew it. John Kerry had months -- if not a year or more -- to let the American people know who he is and why he was a better choice. For some people it was self-evident -- namely, he's not Bush -- but lots of people were on the fence. People on the fence, apparently, are going to give the incumbent automatic extra points if they aren't getting a clear indication of a decent alternative. John Kerry had all this time to convince some of those people who were undecided as to why the hell they should vote for him. And he didn't do it.\nFuck is Murphy's Irish Stout a good beer. That has nothing to do with the current discussion, but I thought I'd just throw that out there.\nUp to this point I have, of course, completely discounted the Republican propaganda machine. Yes, the Democrats have their propaganda as well, but there's a key difference between the two: Republican propaganda works. They played on America's fears like Beavis plays with his wiener, and they used that to help ride their way to victory. But I'm not letting us on the left off anywhere near that easily. Once again: no excuses. What is our fault? This is. If we don't blame ourselves, we're never even going to begin thinking of maybe looking into fixing our problems some day.\nSo, where does this leave us? Personally, I'm wondering if there's a way that I can be a Republican without believing in, like, 80-90% or more of what they believe. You know, I can just hang out with the cult, and when they say \"The sun sucks,\" I just go along with them -- \"Yeah, fuck the sun, I fucking hate it too, long live the fucking beast.\" I just want to be on the winning side and maybe enjoy a few of the benefits; that's all.\nOf course, I have been joking to ETP for awhile now that I'm probably just a couple of pay raises away from voting Republican anyway. Naturally, while I am doing pretty well for my age group, I am far, far away from really benefiting from Republican tax cuts.\nTherein lies a problem, though. Tax cuts. Americans can be lead ANYWHERE with the promise of a tax break in some form or other. \"What? Bush wants to exterminate six million Arabs? Fine, whatever -- just give me my $300 check and stay the fuck away from my gun.\" Hey, no one likes paying taxes, except for the real hard-core liberals out there. The rest of us don't like doing it, but some of us will do it without too many complaints. But even I could get on board with the whole tax cut thing if they just pushed it a bit further.\nHere's where we can at least start getting to some of the positives in the outcome of the election, if there are any. As anyone who either knows me or has read at least one of my posts knows, positivity is not my strong suit, so that's why this is going to be piss-poor. Here we go, trying to look at the glass as half-full (ignoring the fact that the glass is shattered on the fake hardwood floor you bought with your $300 check, and we're only bullshitting ourselves into picturing that the glass is still half-full, thinking that's as good as it actually being half-full).\nThere's one question that's dominated my actions as of late whenever it comes to anything financial: Is this conducive to Project 3-Series? I can all but promise you that John Kerry was planning to raise taxes on all of us, regardless of what he said. How the fuck else was he going to get the deficit under control and still fund all of the shit he wanted to fund? This is ignoring, of course, the fact that the R congress probably wouldn't have gone for a lot of what he wanted, but still. I don't doubt that he would raise taxes if he A) felt it necessary and B) could have gotten it passed. That most certainly would not be conducive to Project 3-Series. But I voted for Kerry anyway. I did that for you guys; I was planning to take one for the team. And this is how you fuckers repay me? I hate you guys.\nOkay, getting off track, as always. Another thing that's good about Bush winning is that comedy most definitely will not suffer as a result. Bush, the \"satirical tackling dummy\" (as Bill Maher put it), will be around for another four years of mockery. Not that a President Droopy wouldn't have left plenty of room to make fun of, but it just wouldn't have been the same.\nJohn Kerry's defeat pretty much opens the door for Hillary to run in '08, assuming there's a country left for her to run as president of. And, let's face it -- regardless of how you feel about Hillary, unless if you're a die-hard Republican, the prospect of the Republicans losing to the hated Clintons is pretty funny think about.\nThen there's the Bush twins. I can talk about fucking them for the next four years and still have it be relevant.\nFinally, you know, there's always the chance that Kerry would have fucking things up pretty badly all on his own. I honestly never thought he could be as bad as Bush, no matter how much he sucked, but you never know. At least with Bush, I already know the intensity and the quality of the ass-fucking I'm going to get, and as such it'll be much easier to prepare both my mind and my sphincter for the oncoming sodomy.\nYup, these are really small consolation prizes, but I'm kinda/sorta (but not really) trying to find a silver lining here.\nAnd yeah, maybe I can just make the transition to being a conservative. I've made no attempts to hide the fact that I'm a greedy, self-serving, material-driven fuck. So you know what? Fuck the poor, fuck the environment, fuck everyone. I need a 330. You say the deficit is going to go sky high? Who cares. \"But future generations will be paying for it!\" Yeah, you know who's having kids? Not me. So everyone else is on their own.\nBut god damn it. Greedy or not, I don't want to live in a world of literal perpetual war. I don't want to live in a world where Roe v. Wade is under constant attack or maybe even struck down. I don't want to live in a nation where we, as a government, not only support Jesus, but we don't even pretend that we're not supposed to. I don't want John Ashcroft (or whoever succeeds him, if indeed he leaves) taking away my porn. I don't want to live in a world where all those fucking inbreds from the South are smiling through their tooth because their guy won again. I don't want to live life in a place where 2+2=5 and dissent=unpatriotic. I don't want to live in a fucking fascist country, god damn it.\nOkay, okay. While we are well on our way to single-party statehood, I wouldn't (yet) call the American situation fascism. But I would most definitely call it fascism lite.\nOverall, I am just not that pissed about things. At least, no more than I already was. How could I be? I knew this is what was going to fucking happen. I said time and time again that Kerry was just going to lose anyway. I'm sure some of you are like \"You know what? Maybe you just wanted Kerry to lose.\" Yeah, you go on with your bad self. The rest of us will be strapping ourselves in, because whether we like it or not, it's going to be four more years.\nSaddle up. Lock and load.\nAt least Thursday didn't turn out like this.\nThe Shat\nWilliam Fucking Shatner.\nThe final debate was last week. Yank yank, squirt squirt. I've been meaning to post on it, but just didn't care. I hate to say this, but I thought Bush actually won that one. I thought he did pretty good, and not just pretty good for Bush. It seemed like he had a quick and effective response to a lot of what Kerry had to say, and Kerry either countered weakly or didn't counter at all on a lot of stuff. Kerry seemed more evasive than usual. Some of his non-response responses were, well, Bush-like. Kerry never seemed to fall into any kind of groove like you'd expect since this was the debate on domestic issues, which was supposed to be his area to shine.\nNow, I'm not saying that Kerry didn't do pretty well. It just wasn't quite what I was expecting. Maybe I'm once again being extra hard on Kerry since I'm expecting him to just tear ass since I know he's much more thoughtful, much better informed, and overall just smarter than Bush. By now, though, I should know that he's not just going to go all-out like I'm hoping for; that's just what we're stuck with in politics these days from both sides.\nI was rather surprised when there was a lot of opinion floating around out there that Kerry was the clear winner in the debate. I was thinking, okay, maybe it's just because I'm not that smart. Once ETP and I got a chance to talk it over, though, we were pretty much in agreement (odd since that never happens), so at least I wasn't the only one. But we seemed to be pretty much the only ones who were thinking that.\nIf indeed we are right and Bush did do better, then I realized that something interesting might be happening. Maybe, just maybe, after all this time of buying into Bush's bullshit, people are finally starting to buy into Kerry's bullshit. Yes, I think Kerry is full of shit. They're all full of shit; I just happen to find Bush's bullshitting way more dangerous than, well, just about anyone else's.\nSo I made the mistake/had the pleasure of test-driving the 325i yesterday. And yeah, it's a pretty nice fucking car. A fun drive. After we left the dealership, ETP just looked at me and said \"You're going to do it, aren't you?\" And all I could say was, \"Yeah.\"\nAs I've pointed out before, if I want something really fast and decently cheap, I can get a WRX tomorrow. If I wanted something that's nicer all around but not as fast, I could get an RSX-S. Since I'm willing to sacrifice performance for luxury and overall snob attitude, I could go for the TSX. But none of those are the total package that is... The Bimmer. I have to have one now.\nOne nice thing about test-driving the BMW was that the salesguy actually encouraged me to abuse the car a little since, well, that's what they're built for. So we took some windy roads at high speeds. We ran through dips at speeds that would cause a lesser car to bottom out. We slammed on the brakes just to see how it felt. Apparently, 50/50 weight distribution is pretty neat.\nAll of this is, of course, part of my quest to get back to the glory days of the Audi. The 325 didn't have quite the same punch when I hit the accelerator as the A4 did -- at least not when I was already moving. This makes sense since the A4 I was driving was the 2.8, which I'm pretty sure was the top of that line back in its day (not counting the little beast that is the S4), and the 325 is the low-end 3 Series. It may have been pretty close, though. Off a dead start, however, I know I could do better than that PussyStick Audi as long as I have a manual.\nAs far as BMW's transmission goes, well, I can't really say for sure since I still suck with a manual. I know for sure that that's what I'll be getting, regardless of where I'm at now. One thing I can say for sure about the TSX is that I really liked its transmission despite my total lack of skill. Not only nice that it was a six-speed (as opposed to five on the 325) short-throw, but that thing was just fucking smooth. I caught the hang of it pretty easily, as opposed to the 325 which I had definite trouble with. Again, the trouble was due to my inexperience, but there's no doubt that Acura knows what the fuck they're doing when it comes to making transmissions. Just ask ETP; he knows way better than me.\nThe other nice thing about the TSX is that it comes fully loaded with pretty much everything I want in a car at a good price. BOETP's dad bought a TSX not too long ago, and as he put it, the TSX didn't force him to make any choices. Your major options on the TSX are manual or automatic, navigation system or not. Yeah, lots of little things can be added, but the big things -- moonroof, power heated seats with leather, shit like that, are all standard. Contrast this with a 325, where everything is a goddamn option. Fold-down rear seats are an option, for Christ's fucking sake. When I spec out the 325 I want, I pretty much end up building a 330 (minus things that you can only get with the 330, like the engine, tranny, and minor cosmetic details), which comes standard with a lot more stuff.\nOverall, I was finally able to get a real sense for what I already knew -- that the Bimmer is a car truly worthy of the asshole I am. Yes, I'd be happy with the TSX. But I wouldn't be satisfied. Yes, I'm a spoiled little prick.\nYup. Project 3 Series is in full effect. It's going to be quite awhile before it comes to full fruition, though, if it ever actually does. If I do get one, I'm going to hold off for a few months to see if I can get some kind of year-end incentives (keeping in mind that the 3 Series model year for '05 is pretty short since the '06 is coming out relatively early). Even once I decide to get one, it's probably going to be quite awhile after that since I'm most likely going to have to order one and have it custom built. Sadly, not many Bimmers are sold with a manual (at least not the one I'm looking for), and chances are even slimmer that a dealer will have a manual in stock with the color I want (oxford green, which isn't all that common, even though it looks fucking slick). So, once I place an order, it will be about 90 days or so before it arrives.\nSo yeah, it's going to be awhile, if it even happens. Which is good. Although I can't say I'm thrilled, having the Civic back isn't too bad. I don't need a new car, it's just that I fucking need it. This will give me time to get a lot of high-priority shit for the house out of the way. It'll give me time to continue my push for fiscal responsibility -- something that's actually kinda happening. I say \"kinda\" just since I'm not spending much money on a bunch of frivolous stuff I don't need, but I am burning cash for new stuff for the house, which, let's face it, needs to be done. And, of course, the drive for being smart with money is all just so that I can go out and do something really stupid with money. But, of course, that's me. Also, this allows for plenty of time for something catastrophic to happen that will put an end to the dream entirely, so I'm looking forward to that.\nOkay, so this is the second big post in not all that long on the stupid BMW mission. Like I said; that's what's occupying a good deal of my goddamn thoughts, so it's bound to spill out here. But this should put an end to this nonsense talk for the time being. Maybe.\nSeriously? You mean to tell me that The New York Times is left-leaning? Better not tell Bill O'Reilly, because he's going to have a fucking aneurysm. Just as soon as he gets done fending off charges of sexual harassment.\nYay, it's a new year.

        "raw_content": "Home / Channels / Baseball / Clarifying the issue.I, the Fan, Never Do Wrongdoing at Sporting Events\nClarifying the issue.I, the Fan, Never Do Wrongdoing at Sporting Events\nSAN ANTONIO, TX. \u2014I want to express something to everyone. I, a no name person, am a fan of sporting events. I buy my season tickets strictly to be an antagonist to the opposing team. I will stand up behind the opposing bench and call them bums. I will go to ballparks and yell at the opposing team\u2019s relief pitchers and give them grief because it is my right. I will go to a hockey game and talk trash to guys who could be bouncers in nightclubs. I will even go to golf tournaments and snap pictures of the players during their back swing. Yes I am a fan. I have unpublished rights that even my duckets don\u2019t cover and there is nothing anyone can do about it.\nMaybe I shouldn\u2019t act this way but who is going to stop me. I am the person who makes other fans cringe but at the same time I am the talk of the town. If my bantering and rants get family members whacked, so what; we\u2019ll just hire attorneys and sue the opposing team. Yeah maybe I\u2019m doing this to provoke a player to have a bad game but heck this is the only forum that will allow me to do so. I can\u2019t be a jerk at my son\u2019s little league game; they don\u2019t allow it.\nI can\u2019t be a rude boy at the soccer matches because I almost cost my daughter\u2019s team the game. But see at a professional game I can be as rowdy and rambunctious as I want. Like I said before, who is going to stop me? Absolutely nobody.\nSo when a fellow fan is giving the other team the business, and some of those team members decide to throw things, like chairs, I get really upset. Who do these jokers think they are, the Sopranos?\nWe fans have rights don\u2019t they know that? We fans never do anything wrong.\nOf course we do have some of our more aromatic members of the group. The two gentlemen who tried to say hello to the baseball coach in Chicago last year were new members of the group. They didn\u2019t know that you just couldn\u2019t walk up to coaches like that. And yes we did have to almost ban the fan that had talked about Vernon Maxwell\u2019s daughter some years back.\nHe was just a bit over the top. But even those three members have rights and no sporting venue can deny them due process. We have worked hard to ensure our members their right to be bravado behind the alcoholic beverages and to make sure that we have a good time.\nMaybe our esteemed member in Oakland walked into a shaded gray area with the Texas Rangers but I, as one of the many fans who are in his fraternity, back him 100%. That baseball player went over the top. There should be a serious investigation as to why a chair was thrown in the first place (editor\u2019s note: The Oakland A\u2019s need to put a bench in the bullpen; not chairs.).\nMr. Craig Bueno needs to sue the socks off of that player. As a fan not only do I think the Bueno family did nothing wrong, I think the Texas Rangers should compensate them and the row they were sitting with a little financial stability. The Rangers violated their rights and it was caught on tape; there is no denying it.\nNow I know that there are some other fans that will not take this particular stance with some others and me. In their eyes there was culpability on both sides. Frankly I think they are wrong. How can a true fan not be on the side of the Buenos? They are victims in this violent world of baseball.\nThat world is just a sub chamber of what I, the fan, attend on a weekend basis. As I stated before it is my job to be the world\u2019s most pompous, rude ass fan in the world. I push the envelope beyond its limits and it always stretches back. The Buenos did the same thing that I have been doing or years; giving the opposing team the \u201cbusiness\u201d.\nSo there is my stance on this issue. Chairgate has officially been put the bed by a staunch member of the fans group. You know who we are and if you don\u2019t, just look around. You\u2019ll find members of the group and you would have never known they were a part of \u2018us.\u2019 Stand up all my fans who believe in the, \u201cwhoop, whoop\u201d. It is time to take back what is rightfully \u2018ours\u2019. We will not be trampled upon again this or any other season.\n(Editor\u2019s note: The above piece by no means is a representative of the writer\u2019s stance.\nAs a matter of fact the writer\u2019s stance is one that says that turn about is fair play when it comes to fans pushing the envelope. I don\u2019t believe in throwing chairs but the fans have some culpability in this incident.)",

Others can run more servers with more services for less than I can. Being a server admin is not my core business anymore, nor has it been for some time, but old habits die-hard.\nRunning my own servers was never hard, but the email from the RAID system the other day was the last straw. I have better things, more enjoyable things to do with my time than chase after failing equipment. Someone else is willing to do that as well or better than I can and they will do it for less than I can. Let me see, I can have my service and save money? That is an easy decision. Why did I not do this before? Well, the cloud is \"bleeding edge\" stuff; I could get hurt. I did not need to be someone\u2019s guinea pig. The truth is the cloud is no longer \"bleeding edge.\" Hosted services have been around for a long time. We just forgot about them.\nOf course, we did not call anything hosted back then, we called them service providers and later internet service providers. CompuServe was \"hosted\" email, chat, dialup, etc. It was that or connect your PC to UUCP and/or a bulletin board system and host your own. Call me crazy; man that was fun. There was so much to learn, so much to do. Now I want to do other things. I want to help people solve their business problems with appropriate information technology.\nWhat cloud services are you using, you ask. As you can tell from this blog I am using Google, but they are not the only one, my backup is at Amazon S3; cannot put all your eggs in one basket. :) PBWorks is hosting a project WiKi for my friends and me. I am still looking for more solutions and we may end up using SourceForge for that project. Next, I need to evaluate some application hosting providers. :)\nWhat cloud services are you using?\nHtay December 3, 2009 at 3:41 PM\nWe're using vimeo (plus) to host videos for our online content.\n--htay",

        "raw_content": "Preston Ford is continuing their Top 100 mission to end the year in 2015. Their goals are to be the #1 Ford Dealer in the region, Top 10 in the Nation Month to Date (MTD), and Top 85 Year to Date (YTD). Right now they are in fact the #1 Ford Dealer in the Region out of 123 dealerships. They are also #10 in the Nation for December sales out of approximately 3,300 dealerships. That is the number that is perhaps most astounding. Finally, they are sitting two spots out of the Top 100 at #102 in the Nation for YTD sales.\nAccording to Preston Auto Group Vice President, David Wilson Jr., they were just 11 sales out of the Top 100 on December 17th, 2015. They are putting together some crazy deals in order to sell those 11 Fords too! So if you or someone you know needs a new car, truck or SUV, Preston Ford will be the place to buy all the way through January 4th, 2016.\nAs always, Preston Ford appreciates all the support they get from the residents of Preston, Easton, Salisbury, Seaford, Dover and all the towns and cities across the Eastern Shore of Maryland and Delaware to be able to achieve their goal of being in the Top 85 Ford dealers in the country. Preston even has the largest selection of Ford Commercial Trucks and Vans, so if you are a small business owner in need of another vehicle for your fleet then you are in luck! We have 2016 F-250s, Transits, Transit Connects, Cutaways and more!\nHistory of the Top 100 and Preston Ford\nP reston Ford actually has a history of making the list of Top 100 Ford Dealers in the Nation each of the past few years! This is a huge accomplishment for the small town of Preston. Starting in 2009 Preston Ford was 109th in the nation out of all 3,300 Ford dealers. In 2010 Preston Ford was 93rd in the Top 100 Ford Dealers in the nation. In 2011, Preston Ford again moved up in the ranks to 89th place for their second Top 100 finish. When 2012 came around, Preston made it to 102nd place \u2013 just barely missing the Top 100 Ford Dealers in the nation. However, in 2013 Preston Ford returned to the ranks of the Top 100 equaling their highest mark to date \u2013 89th in the nation. That record was shattered in 2014 when they finished at 72nd in the nation! They are looking to have similar success as the year winds down in 2015.\nDavid Wilson Jr., Preston Automotive Group Vice President, explains that \u201cif there ever was a time to buy a vehicle from Preston Ford now is it!\u201d Preston Ford currently has over 1,000 new Fords to choose from, and that\u2019s not even counting their pre-owned Ford inventory. This is by far the largest inventory on the Eastern Shore. Including F-150s, Escapes, Fusions, Explorers and many more! Not only does Preston Ford have the standard vehicles, but they also have a large inventory of commercial vehicles to choose from.\nPreston Ford is part of the Preston Automotive Group\n, which serves the Delaware, Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania areas with Ford, Lincoln, Mazda, Hyundai, Nissan, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram brands. The auto group carries the largest selection of new and used cars and trucks. Additionally, the dealership services all makes and models, both imported and domestic cars with ASE certified and factory trained technicians. To further serve your automotive needs the Preston Automotive Group is also home to three auto body shops conveniently located around Delmarva in Preston, Cambridge, and Snow Hill, Maryland.

        "raw_content": "I just finished reading Behind the Beautiful Forevers, a marvelous book by Katherine Boo. Katherine Boo spent 3 1/2 years living in a slum in Mumbai and has written a most beautifully written and moving account of the struggles and lives of the inhabitants of an Indian undercity. The book often reads like fiction, though it is not. Boo, her interpreters, and researchers were able to get very close to some of the slum dwellers depicted in the book. In doing so she gives an original perspective and voice to poverty that is primarily through her subjects eyes. I highly recommend this book.\n\"What was unfolding in Mumbai was unfolding elsewhere, too. In the age of global market capitalism, hopes and grievances were narrowly conceived, which blunted a sense of common predicament. Poor people didn't unite; they competed ferociously amongst themselves for gains as slender as they were provisional. And this undercity strife created only the faintest ripple in the fabric of society at large. The gates of the rich, occasionally rattled, remained unbreached. The politicians held forth on the middle class. The poor took down one another, and the world's great, unequal cities soldiered on in relative peace.\" - Katherine Boo",

        "raw_content": "Government Shutdown Stinks in Lewiston, ME\nHave you driven by the SeniorsPlus Meals on Wheels kitchen (National Guard Armory on Goddard Road in Lewiston) recently? Close your windows when you go by, and don\u2019t slow down too much\u2026because it stinks!\nThe last trash pickup for the kitchen was on October 2, when the government shut down. Since then, the garbage keeps piling up, the National Guard uses their backhoe to compact it, but no one can take it away. Meals on Wheels served fish last week on Thursday and there\u2019s some chicken in there that\u2019s really, really ripe.\nWe might get lulled into thinking the government shutdown doesn\u2019t really reach Lewiston, ME. Well, here it is. Stinking garbage that can\u2019t be picked up because the National Guard has no money to pay its subcontractors. That, of course, means that Meals on Wheels, who leases the space from the National Guard, can\u2019t get trash removed. Hence the stinking garbage.\nOf course, stinking garbage is just one small, very smelly symptom of this shutdown. On a bigger scale, SeniorsPlus is currently running all of its federally funded programs on faith that we\u2019ll be paid on our new contract that was to go into effect October 1. There\u2019s no guarantee that will happen.\nWe only have so much reserve cash to keep up this good faith effort. We\u2019re now in Week Three of the shutdown, and we\u2019re watching carefully, day by day, trying to figure out how long we can continue serving Meals on Wheels, providing caregiver respite and helping people figure out their Medicare plans without any money.\nI think we\u2019re all kind of scratching our heads right now, trying to figure out the reason was for this shutdown. It doesn\u2019t seem to be having any positive outcome for anyone. From all those furloughed federal employees who are now living on credit cards, to stinking garbage in Lewiston \u2013 what\u2019s the point?\nIt all seems a bit fishy\u2026and stinky.",

        "raw_content": "On Friday I'd dropped off four prescriptions at the pharmacy. I'd been told that it would take about 20 minutes to fill these; after 35 minutes of waiting and not hearing anything, I left. I got a call from the pharmacy on Friday and on Monday saying that there were issues with the dosages. What the...?\nSo I went in today to figure out what was going on. It turns out that the dosage on one prescription wasn't clear - although it was the same a I'd received before. On the other prescription (my painkillers), the pharmacist had just assumed that the dosage was incorrect because it wasn't what is usually prescribed for this drug. She didn't bother to check my previous history there.\nI was quite annoyed when I went in today but I was quite polite when I talked to the owner/pharmacist. I was trying to be nice but firm. I managed to get my point across - that it shouldn't take four days to fill a prescription that they'd told me would take only 20 minutes. The pharmacist is going to put a few new procedures in place as I should have had some additional contact with the staff there.\nIf I wore those shoes, I would fall over and break something! I bought new shoes too just before all the snow started and I love them. They're knee high Hush Puppy boots in brown. Insulated with a wedge heel and I feel like I'm not wearing a heel at all. So, I know I broke my rule about no shoes til after graduation but these are really more of a utility item... right?! :)",

        "title": "Thoughts from a Buttonmonger: Yule Log",
        "raw_content": "\u201cCommenced building a shed over the wood this afternoon. Got five posts set and ridge pole on.\u201d\nIn Northern Europe, Winter festivities were once considered to be a Feast of the Dead, complete with ceremonies full of spirits, devils, and the haunting presence of the Norse god, Odin, and his night riders. One particularly durable Solstice festival was \"Jol\" (also known as \"Jule\" and pronounced \"Yule\"), a feast celebrated throughout Northern Europe and particularly in Scandinavia to honor Jolnir, another name for Odin. Since Odin was the god of intoxicating drink and ecstasy, as well as the god of death, Yule customs varied greatly from region to region. Odin's sacrificial beer became the specially blessed Christmas ale mentioned in medieval lore, and fresh food and drink were left on tables after Christmas feasts to feed the roaming Yuletide ghosts. Even the bonfires of former ancient times survived in the tradition of the Yule Log, perhaps the most universal of all Christmas symbols.\nThe origins of the Yule Log can be traced back to the Midwinter festivals in which the Norsemen indulged...nights filled with feasting, \"drinking Yule\" and watching the fire leap around the log burning in the home hearth. The ceremonies and beliefs associated with the Yule Log's sacred origins are closely linked to representations of health, fruitfulness and productivity. In England, the Yule was cut and dragged home by oxen or horses as the people walked alongside and sang merry songs. It was often decorated with evergreens and sometimes sprinkled with grain or cider before it was finally set alight.\nIn Yugoslavia, the Yule Log was cut just before dawn on Christmas Eve and carried into the house at twilight. The wood itself was decorated with flowers, colored silks and gold, and then doused with wine and an offering of grain. In an area of France known as Provencal, families would go together to cut the Yule Log, singing as they went along. These songs asked for blessings to be bestowed upon their crops and their flocks. The people of Provencal called their Yule Log the trefoire and, with great ceremony, carried the log around the house three times and christened it with wine before it was set ablaze.\nTo all European races, the Yule Log was believed to bring beneficial magic and was kept burning for at least twelve hours and sometimes as long as twelve days, warming both the house and those who resided within. When the fire of the Yule Log was finally quenched, a small fragment of the wood would be saved and used to light the next year's log. It was also believed that as long as the Yule Log burned, the house would be protected from witchcraft. The ashes that remained from the sacred Yule Log were scattered over fields to bring fertility, or cast into wells to purify and sweeten the water. Sometimes, the ashes were used in the creation of various charms...to free cattle from vermin, for example, or to ward off hailstorms.\nSome sources state that the origin of Yule is associated with an ancient Scandinavian fertility god and that the large, single Log is representative of a phallic idol. Tradition states that this Log was required to burn for twelve days and a different sacrifice to the fertility god had to be offered in the fire on each of those twelve days.",

        "raw_content": "Alligators, Curses, A Swamp \u2013 Oh My!\nDecember 18, 2017 by Roxanne Hsu Feldman 6 Comments\nIn 19th century England, a fictional child reader asked, \u201cand what is the use of a book without pictures or conversations?\u201d In 20th century Taiwan, a non-fictional child reader pondered, \u201cand what is the use of a book without magic or something completely made up?\u201d Indeed, when this Taiwanese young reader grew up and studied Children\u2019s Literature in the United States, she was astonished by the existence of \u201crealistic fiction\u201d! Who would want to read something that could actually happen? Isn\u2019t the entire point of Children\u2019s Literature to create a completely imagined landscape for readers to explore, wonder, and escape to? She learned quickly, that, no, not only there are many realistic fiction for children, they also tend to be the most praised and more likely to win major awards. It\u2019s not uncommon to hear someone says, \u201cOh, I love that book but I don\u2019t think it has a chance at the Newbery. Fantasy just don\u2019t win the Award!\u201d (A quick glance through the last 20 years of Newbery winning/honored titles confirms this sentiment.) With around 60 titles nominated by Heavy Medal readers this year, only a handful are speculative fiction. Still, my love for fantasy and science fiction for children has only increased through the years \u2014 especially because so many of my young readers seem to gravitate and truly connect with these tales.\nI couldn\u2019t have been more delighted when I realized that Tumble and Blue is definitely not rooted in reality! Beasley starts the narrative with the sinister voice of an ancient, magical being telling readers that creatures like them \u201cdon\u2019t fit in between a cartographer\u2019s line\u201d and that they can \u201conly be found in the places where maps dare not go.\u201d\nThe tone is set \u2014 both by the events described and the author\u2019s choices of words. Readers are entering a world not replicated from real locations or circumstances.\nTumble and Blue follows the magical tradition of the American Tall Tales: Georgia\u2019s Okefenokee Swamp (and its Upside-Down counterpart) serves as the mythical central location and the Montgomery and LaFayette clans are the quest seekers wishing to reverse ancient curses. These larger than life characters with supernatural powers compete against each other. We are even given the traditional trope of a Pie-Eating Contest! There are some slapstick moments and down-right mean spirited relatives. But our main characters, like true folk tale heroes, definitely have hearts of gold and their final triumph comes not from brute forces or superhuman powers, but selflessness and compassion.\nThe compassion/selfless theme is neither subtle, nor uncommon. However, Beasley packages the theme with an inventive plot, a vivid sense of setting, a cast of authentically admirable and despicable characters, much humor (\u201cThe universal adoration is somewhat in doubt,\u201d \u201cDoesn\u2019t have a sense god gave a goose,\u201d) and verbal dexterity (\u201cQuick and quiet as a slither.\u201d)\nWhile \u201cgetting the message,\u201d the readers are definitely entertained along the way.\nCircus Mirandus is one of my favorite reads, and I think it deserved more recognition than it received. Tumble and Blue has that same magic, surreal feeling but with a more folksy tone. It reminded me a bit of Savvy and of The True Blue Scouts of Sugarman Swamp.\nIt also feels like Holes and 11 Birthdays. All titles that have a lot of kid appeal. An easy book to booktalk, too.\nHow did people feel about the open ending? I just finished listening to DISAPPEARED by Stork and that ending brought this book to mind (as well as ORPHAN ISLAND, QUICKSAND POND, LONG WAY DOWN, and probably others.) Sure one can always make justifications for lack of closure, but I feel like enough books have taken this route lately that it feels like an easy way out. It\u2019s hard to write a satisfying ending. Maybe the hardest thing. So I\u2019m probably inclined to favor books that don\u2019t sidestep the challenge. I\u2019m not saying everything needs to be tied in a neat bow \u2013 there are books that leave questions unanswered but nevertheless ended, I felt, in a satisfying way: HELLO UNIVERSE, PATINA, FOREVER OR A LONG LONG TIME, BEYOND THE BRIGHT SEA.\nThe ending for LONG WAY DOWN, worked very well for me. It perfectly mirrored the tone of the book. You know how I feel about ORPHAN ISLAND. TUMBLE & BLUE left me similarly disinchanted.\nI was torn by the LONG WAY DOWN ending. I think it made sense in terms of the scope of the book, which focuses on the thoughts and emotions of a character about to make a life-changing decision. The act of shooting or walking away would have been a step into another segment of his life, when every other part of the book was in that intense, pre-decision world.\nOn the other hand, I wonder if anyone reading that book has any doubt about what Will is going to do? If he uses the gun, all of those visits were wasted. I feel like Will (and us readers) learned more about why using the gun would be the wrong decision with each visit. In PATINA, I thought: \u201cshe\u2019ll win, or she\u2019ll lose, but that\u2019s not what\u2019s important,\u201d and that worked. With ORPHAN ISLAND I thought, \u201cwe don\u2019t get to learn more about the island,\u201d and I was okay with that. Mostly. In LONG WAY DOWN, I was: \u201cwe\u2019re supposed to wonder if now he\u2019s going to shoot the guy, but I already know he\u2019s not going to.\u201d It didn\u2019t ruin the book, but it felt like an attempt at a surprising finish that had less of an impact than it seemed was intended.\nLoved the beginning of this, the end just fell apart.",

        "title": "Evaluating One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) in Peru | Edutech",
        "raw_content": "Evaluating One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) in Peru\nFew would argue against the notion that the One Laptop Per Child project (OLPC, originally referred to by many as the '$100 laptop project') has been the most high profile educational technology initiative for developing countries over the past half-decade or so. It has garnered more media attention, and incited more passions (pro and con), than any other program of its kind. What was 'new' when OLPC was announced back in 2005 has become part of mainstream discussions in many places today (although it is perhaps interesting to note that, to some extent, the media attention around the Khan Academy is crowding into the space in the popular consciousness that OLPC used to occupy), and debates around its model have animated policymakers, educators, academics, and the general public in way that perhaps no other educational technology initiative has ever done. Given that there is no shortage of places to find information and debate about OLPC, this blog has discussed it only a few times, usually in the context of talking about Plan Ceibal in Uruguay, where the small green and white OLPC XO laptops are potent symbols of the ambitious program that has made that small South American country a destination for many around the world seeking insight into how to roll out so-called 1-to-1 computing initiatives in schools very quickly, and to see what the results of such ambition might be.\nThe largest OLPC program to date, however, has not been in Uruguay, but rather in Peru, and many OLPC supporters have argued that the true test of the OLPC approach is perhaps best studied there, given its greater fealty to the underlying pedagogical philosophies at the heart of OLPC and its focus on rural, less advantaged communities. Close to a million laptops are meant to have been distributed there to students to date (902,000 is the commonly reported figure, although I am not sure if this includes the tens of thousands of laptops that were destroyed in the recent fire at a Ministry of Education warehouse). What do we know about the impact of this ambitious program?\nLast month the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) released a long-awaited working paper detailing findings from its evaluation of the OLPC program in Peru. While OLPC has been the subject of much research interest (some of decent quality, some decidedly less so; the OLPC wiki maintains a very useful list of this research), Technology and Child Development: Evidence from One Laptop per Child Program in Peru is meant to be the first large scale evaluation of the program's impact using randomized control trials (considered by many in the evaluation community as the 'gold standard' for this sort of thing).\nIn a blog post announcing the release of the paper (And the jury is back: One Laptop per Child is not enough), the IDB's Pablo Ibarrar\u00e1n quickly summarizes this results of this research:\n[-] the program dramatically increased access to computers\n[-] no evidence that the program increased learning in Math or Language.\n[-] some benefits on cognitive skills\nThis working paper is a follow-up to \"Experimental Assessment of the Program \"One Laptop Per Child\" in Peru, the initial set of findings from IDB research into this area released in late 2010, and a continuation of its interest in 1-to-1 computing initiatives in latin America. (see from late 2010).\nTechnology and Child Development: Evidence from One Laptop per Child Program in Peru\nCristia, Cueto, Ibarraran, Santiago, Severin. 2012. [IDB-WP-304]\nAbstract: \"Although many countries are aggressively implementing the One Laptop per Child (OLPC) program, there is a lack of empirical evidence on its effects. This paper presents the impact of the first large-scale randomized evaluation of the OLPC program, using data collected after 15 months of implementation in 319 primary schools in rural Peru. The results indicate that the program increased the ratio of computers per student from 0.12 to 1.18 in treatment schools. This expansion in access translated into substantial increases in use both at school and at home. No evidence is found of effects on enrollment and test scores in Math and Language. Some positive effects are found, however, in general cognitive skills as measured by Raven\u2019s Progressive Matrices, a verbal fluency test and a Coding test.\"\nAs with most things related to the OLPC project, this working paper has kicked off a great deal of discussion. Some of this is happening over on our (sort-of) sister site, the EduTech Debate, which has devoted itself this month to exploring issues being raised as a result of the publication of the IDB report. In addition to reproducing findings from the IDB report itself, ETD notably features commentary from (among others) Oscar Becerra, who was responsible for overseeing the design and implementation of \u201cUna Laptop por Ni\u00f1o\" at the Ministry of Education in Peru (and who was involved in a fascinating and very open discussion with Christoph Derndorfer in the comments section of a post on the ETD site back in October 2010).\nGiven the vibrancy of the debate on the ETD site, and on other blogs where this is being discussed, my aim here isn't to try to try to attempt to analyze and dissect the IDB working paper. (For that, I would refer you to the ETD site -- after you've read the paper itself, of course!) That said, one thing that has struck me about many of the conversations happening as a result of the IDB paper, both online and in other forums, is how quickly the conversation can also become about other things. For the hard core evaluation people, the (often quite detailed and exact) conversation is about methods and methodologies. Some critics of the OLPC approach see the IDB report as a validation of sorts of some of criticisms they have long voiced about the program. More generally (and interestingly), however, I hear two common responses to the findings detailed in the IDB report about the lack of compelling impact evidence directed at the authors: What are you testing for -- is it really what's important? And: Are you testing for this in the right way?\nThese are certainly important questions to ask, and they touch on a common challenge made by folks seeking to do rigorous impact evaluations of educational technology projects, especially evaluations designed to provide insight to policymakers who are interested in the 'impact on test scores'. Whether or not you agree with this interest (and you are certainly free not to do so), there is no denying that this is a question asked regularly by many policymakers. The question then becomes: Which test scores? Broadly speaking, we can divide 'tests' into two types:\n[#1] Standardized tests in common use within a formal education system (such as the sorts of high stakes school leaving exams that characterize many education systems)\n[#2] Tests developed by experts to assess the impact of a particular intervention\n(Let me be clear: I am not saying that these are the only criteria against which you can, or should, evaluate an educational technology project \u2013 a topic discussed regularly on the EduTech blog -- nor that they are necessarily good ones. Rather, I am saying that, for better or for worse, policymakers often seek to evaluate impact using such measures.)\nThe 'results' from these different types of tests of the impact of the same initiative might well be different -- and this difference might be very important at a practical level. You might see a marked positive impact on standardized test scores (#1), for example ... but what if these are bad tests to begin with? Where standardized tests measure recall of specific facts, for example, computers can be used quite effectively as sort of turbo-charged flashcards, helping to cram lots of specific facts or simple procedures into the heads of students (the decades-old, and not very affectionate, term in many education communities for this sort of use of educational technologies is 'drill and kill'). Let's postulate that, from a learning perspective, #2 measures what is actually important. That is all well and good, but, like it or not, #1 is usually what drives actual behavior at the school or classroom level. This tension -- should we measure the impact on what the system is current attempting to measure, or on what emerging consensus holds is actually most important for learning? -- is one not exclusive to discussions of the use of educational technologies, of course, but it can often be particularly acute in this area.\nHowever you feel about the OLPC project (in its Peruvian incarnation, or more generally), or about the IDB's attempt to assess the impact of the OLPC project in Peru, there are, generally speaking, five potential explanations for the fact that no (or little) impact is found when evaluating an education technology initiative (please note that this list is adapted from a talk by the IDB's Eugenio Severin):\n1. The use of technology in education in general makes no difference\n2. It's too early to tell (our time horizon is too short)\n3. The evaluators tested the wrong things and/or used the wrong methods\n4. The idea was good, but the particular implementation was bad\n5. Change doesn't come unless you make real changes (and often, no real, fundamental changes are made except for the addition of technology)\nIt is this last potential explanation that has frustrated many people in the educational technology community for a long time. Long term, sustained positive change (in the education sector, if not more broadly), whether as a result of an explicit reform process or slower, evolutionary changes in behavior, typically does not happen as the result of a single discrete intervention. Dump hardware in schools, hope for magic to happen -- this is for me the \"classic worst practice in ICT use in education\". I am not saying that this is an accurate characterization of what has happened in Peru (I have no first hand knowledge of the project there), but this is something that one sees seen repeated time and time again, in countries rich and poor, 'advanced' and 'developing'. Around the world, expecting the introduction of ICTs alone -- no matter whether the shiny devices are lined up in rooms in computer rooms added on to schools or (to borrow a particularly colorful metaphor) dropped from helicopters into remote communities -- to help bring about transformative, cost effective improvements in student learning while at the same time continuing with a business as usual approach to other aspects of the educational experience usually proves to be, well, a less than optimal way of going about things. In the specific case of OLPC in Peru, the IDB's suggestion \"to combine the provision of laptops with a pedagogical model targeted toward increased achievement by students\" sounds like an eminently reasonable recommendation, and one which presumably is relevant to educational technology initiatives of various sorts in other places as well. That said, given the history of educational technology programs showing little substantive impact in place after place, one can perhaps question whether it goes far enough. Given the outsized ambition that characterizes massive investments in ICTs in education in country after country around the world, it may seem foolish to question whether many of these sorts of programs are indeed being ambitious enough. But are they?\nIn speaking about ICT use in education, a number of well-respected commenters have noted that, \"if you are already going down the wrong road, technology will only help get you there faster\" [pdf]. For many, the promise of technology use in education has been that it will help to blaze new trails, while in practice, its use has often looked more like \"tinkering toward utopia\" (to borrow an evocative phrase from David Tyack and Larry Cuban, who used it in a slightly different context). Whether you agree with the IDB's findings on the OLPC project in Peru or not, the way its conclusions were arrived at, or indeed the nature of the inquiry altogether, reading the study and talking with its authors leaves me to ask if indeed we are being bold enough in the way we are thinking about the potential relevance of technology use in education. Perhaps it is unrealistic to think that truly new approaches to education are possible, at least within many existing education systems in many places, given well entrenched interests, pressing immediate needs, insufficient policy-relevant research to help make tough choices, bureaucratic inertia and the temptation to flit from reform to reform as a result of the latest academic fads or political expediency. Yet this is what excites so many people about the potential of new technologies. Given the massive price tags associated with large scale educational technology initiatives, it is hard to believe we aren\u2019t being ambitious enough. But given the checkered history of so many investments of this sort around the world, if we aren\u2019t being truly bold, it might be worth asking: Should we be doing this sort of thing at all?\nNote: The image used at the top of this blog post of students in Ferre\u00f1afe, Peru (\"learning learning\") comes courtesy of One Laptop per Child via Flickr\nand is used according to the terms of its Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 Generic (CC BY 2.0) license. (The OLPC Flickr pages are a great source of quality photos of children using technology around the world.)\nSome follow-up information\nThe IDB study continues to receive a lot of attention in the press, among policymakers and in the blogs. A short article in The Economist (http://goo.gl/KX1Uo) about the report prompted this letter to the editor from one of the key figures involved in the OLPC project in Peru (http://goo.gl/LX4bA; more detailed response at http://goo.gl/N3YXq) and this response from one of the senior executives at OLPC (http://goo.gl/5NePF). There appears to be a lively debate in various corners of the web about the study, featuring many passionate voices. I find that, in many ways, much of the discussion is quite representative of many of the broader themes that characterize debates about ICT use in education in general. (Some quick work with your favorite search engine will provide pointers to lots of interesting perspectives.) That said, I do wonder how many folks have read the actual study about which they are opining in this instance. Once again, for those who are interested, here's a link to the actual working paper: http://goo.gl/pcc4n (IDB has also published a short policy note for those in a hurry, http://goo.gl/4zmyS).\nSubmitted by Alex Ar\u00e9valo on Thu, 04/26/2012 - 17:24\nThanks for the article, Michael. I think the failure in the Peruvian OLP project was two folded. On one hand, there was no previous training for teachers to develop methodological capacities to exploit the potential of those computers. Teachers basically tought the children how to operate the device, and that was it. On the other hand, it was one of many other big projects that had the aim to create noise in favor of President Garcia. Back in 2007, I was an last-year student at a local university in the Peruvian Amazon. I told my teachers I would like to develop a methodology for language teaching based on web 2.0 tools where students themselves could create content for their own learning. The methodology would use a task based approach. I was kindly invited to make a \"less complicated\" thesis work. The reason, according to my teachers was that no one could oposse my thesis. It was a faculty of Education, not a faculty of Systems Engenieering- they said. I never wrote the thesis. There you see another example where \"if you are already going down the wrong road, technology will only help get you there faster\"\nSubmitted by H Mac Wooten on Fri, 05/04/2012 - 19:05\nThank you both Alex and Michael. Alex is correct. The teachers had no training and still today have no training. Although these units (as I understand) will network with each other, for the most part there is little infrastructure in place to connect to the outside world via internet. In most of the poorer areas of the country (mountain and jungle regions) these laptops amount to nothing more than (wow that's a cool gadget) what does it do? Forget about the part where children learn much from their natural curiosity and are able to figure things out on their own. It's a great idea at the wrong time in the development of this country. Good intentions, bad timing. The government here certainly isnt going to provide connectivity. In many of the schools we work with, books aren't provided! The children are required to buy workbooks from the school (a copy of a real book) at a cost of between $7. - $ 10. That equates to a days wages for the father. There is little incentive for the parents to want to keep the child in school. The avg family size is 5.1 We learned early on that our efforts to provide some \"basic teaching materials\" to the teachers was not enough. We had to teach the teachers HOW to use those simple materials. Many of the teachers here have no certification or teaching degree ... but desperately want to learn and are concerned about the quality of education here and do appreciate any help they can get. In the past, education has been of little priority here but things are beginning to improve. I relinquish control of the soap box! thanks mac\nNo surprises...but heartbreaking!\nSubmitted by JoeN on Fri, 06/22/2012 - 04:14\nMike, I was commissioned not long ago, to look at a number of OLPC programmes elsewhere in the world and sadly, none of what is reported from Peru surprises me at all. We seem to have the crazy situation where here in the UK, we have a crisis in basic literacy (and I guess things aren't all that rosy in the US either!) and yet someone like John Wood is running \"Room to Read,\" an outstanding effort to improve literacy levels in the developing world and yet simultaneously, huge investments are still being made in educational technology in the belief that it delivers educational benefits. I can't help wondering if there is any connection between Wood's efforts and the fact that he is ex Microsoft and maybe, just maybe... he reached the same conclusion as you do in this post. I certainly did about three years ago, when I decided \"digital literacy\" is just \"digital lunacy\" for any culture that is abandoning interest in the educational value of textual reading in favour of screen reading.\nre: One Laptop per Child in Peru: Findings and the Road Forward\nfyi Juli\u00e1n Cristia from the Inter-american Development Bank has published a short update to the work highlighted above.

A young blond, semi-tall man approaches me with a wide grin. He says the typical thing. You are beautiful, why are you standing alone? But we end up having a decent conversation. He looks extremely bored and unenthusiastic with whatever drink he is holding. He refuses to accept this when I tell him. He is an accountant. What time do you have to be at work tomorrow morning? (It was a thursday and honestly I was hoping he would be leaving soon). He said he made his own time, still leaning on the counter. He introduced me to his cousin, who was visiting from\u2026? You sure you don\u2019t want another drink, he asked again. (Boys can be persistent). No (though later when he was no longer around I would). He wanted to know what Elle stood for. Just Elle. No, come on. I said, it\u2019s just Elle (wide smile). We talked about writing. He said some interesting things (I can\u2019t remember). He said I was interesting. Are you going to write about me tomorrow, he asked three or four times throughout our short encounter. I told him, no, definitely not by tomorrow.\nHe took my number and my blog name.

        "title": "31 Aug - Cleveland",
        "raw_content": "Paper Dust\nThe state of Ohio has an active and effective genealogical society, with branches in many towns. Some Ohio courthouses are the best we've visited - modern, spacious, with room for genealogists to poke around the old records. Late nineteenth-century obituaries in small towns tend to be flowery and full of genealogical detail. The small towns have lots of helpful volunteers. We weren't prepared for Cleveland, with its far flung, sometimes chaotic data repositories. Here are some of their facilities:\nThe Western Reserve Historical Society, touted as the primary source for genealogy and local history. Just finding the parking lot requires superior skill. Then we had to buy museum tickets (good at five locations) in order to use the library. They indoctrinated us in their rules and regulations. Their catalog is half-computerized, half-cards; also it doesn't tell you where to find the materials. You have to try the open shelves first and if your book isn't there they will try to find it for you in the closed stacks. Catalogs are only as good as they are complete; without long lists of names, the entries are too general to be useful. By the end of a frustrating afternoon we realized that between parking and admission and 50-cents-a-page copy charges we had spent almost $30. Everything we had accomplished we could have done for free in the city library. Still, for specialized materials, such as a collection of 22,000 photographs of old Cleveland houses, this is an interesting location. Moreover, as we were to discover, this was the only area library which had significant numbers of family histories.\nThe Cuyahoga County Courthouse, where we looked for land records from the 1800s. The data is there, some of it on microfiche, some in the great old ledgers. They are transferring the information to microform and computer records and so the workrooms are filled with document boxes and empty shelves where record books have been shipped to the basement, to the archives, or to Columbus. Fortunately our records are so old nobody wants to use them, so they will be the last to go out.\nThe Cleveland Public Library, where we found census information, maps, New library wing and some additional data. Microfilms and microfiches are in the Microform Room, while books are in the various departments (some in closed stacks) in an enormous, elegant, almost luxurious library which now covers an entire city block. But the Library appears to support local history rather than genealogy; this is apparent when you discover that the printed census indexes are on the sixth floor of the East Wing, a five minute walk away from the census films on the ground floor of the West Wing. Maps and photographs were in two additional departments, and the library had decided not to keep any family histories. There is a beautiful index for Cleveland newspapers, but it omits about a century starting in 1875! \"Try Fairview Park,\" the librarians told us. We picked up a brochure showing the many places one could visit around Cuyahoga county to find materials on genealogy and local history.\nAll the libraries have something called the Cleveland Necrology File. This is a microfilm of an old 3x5 index card file, on which were pasted clippings of death notices. It also includes some information from some cemetery records. The pencilled comments on some of the cards didn't microfilm too well, so you may not be able to get the year of death. The identity of the newspapers that published the death notices is usually missing. But worst of all is that the information is virtually useless. The Cleveland papers (perhaps like many other big city dailies) made an editorial decision that if you weren't rich or famous, then all you got was name, residence at death, and place and date of funeral. No bio, no survivors, nothing. From a genealogist's point of view, this makes small towns much better places than big cities like Cleveland.\nWith all the population moving to large cities, and with fewer and larger newspapers (no obits in USA Today or the Wall Street Journal, hey) maybe we will have a brave new world in which some dot-com folks will open up an obituary web site, where families can post an old-fashioned obituary; it would stay up for a couple of months, then be archived where genealogists could access it for a small fee. Just an idea.\nThe Lakewood Public Library, where we found our first batch of city directories and microfilms of the Lakewood newspaper. We thought that perhaps the local newspapers would print more detailed obituaries. After getting accustomed to the sun glaring through the uncovered window behind the microfilm reader, we discovered that the Lakewood papers had tons of personal information - weddings, parties, comings and goings - but again no useful obituaries. In fact the funeral homes got to placing paid ads just to let people know who had died. \"Try the Fairview Park Library,\" said the librarian.\nThe Cuyahoga County Archives, a curious establishment located in a Victorian brick house in the old part of the city (in fact not far from Liberty Cuyahoga County Archives Street!) We're both familiar with government archives; nobody wants to pay for the costs of saving the information properly, so bankers' boxes are piled in the halls and closets, old records are torn and marked and crumbling, and (in this case) the staff couldn't care less (although they're cheerful and talkative). They seem to have whatever the county offices don't want to keep; boxes of index cards, a few drawers of microfilm and microfiche, lots of old court records, including probate records, a shelf of city directories. Even the furniture appeared to have been handed down from one county office to another and then given to the Archives. They apologized for their copy of the Cleveland Necrology. The three films we tried were all broken apart, torn, with some of the information from the beginning of the reel missing. It was too difficult to continue, so we left. \"Try the Fairview Park Library,\" said another researcher in the archives.\nThe Highland View Cemetery, which keeps the old index books for the twelve cemeteries maintained by the city of Cleveland. It reminded us of the archives.\nThe Lakewood Bureau of Vital Statistics had one valuable piece of information for us: Elsa's grandmother's death certificate. We asked for some other vital records, and learned that there are several dozen locations in the county the old ones might be found, but the new ones (since 1909) are all shipped off to Columbus, and none are kept locally. So if we would just hop in the car and drive 125 miles south . . .\nNobody seemed to find it strange that a researcher must trek from building to building, institution to institution, through miserable traffic to unsavory neighborhoods. Several workers at the libraries on this list were curious and asked questions about how we worked, apparently not having met genealogists before.\nEpilogue - the Fairview Park Library\nEvidently by some community consensus, the Fairview Park Public Library, which sits towards the far western edge of the county, has been designated the genealogy library for all of the Cuyahoga County Library System (which does not include the Cleveland City Library). We walked into this modern building and up an open staircase to the second floor, half of which was devoted to genealogy. Here there were at least eight nearly-new microfilm reader-printers, the best we've found in dozens of libraries. Moreover, the copies we made from microfilm were free. They had a large collection of film, and stacks of local histories and genealogical references. We could have worked there happily for several days, but we still found information at each of the other locations that was available noplace else. And nowhere in Cleveland did we find the volunteer-produced cemetery directories that have been such great help to us all over the country.\nWe're wondering whether Cleveland is an isolated example of how to do things poorly, or whether this is a characteristic of large cities. We're hoping the former is the case!",

        "title": "Phillies Need to Dump Phillippe Aumont - Brooklyn Beat",
        "raw_content": "Phillies Need to Dump Phillippe Aumont\nPosted on June 20, 2015 by Justin Worsley\nOn Dec. 16, 2009, the Philadelphia Phillies traded Cliff Lee to the Mariners in exchange for three prospects headlined by Phillippe Aumont, a lumbering righty who was ranked 93rd on Baseball America\u2019s Top 100.\nThe deal was surprising at the time, but a year later, Phillies General Manager Ruben Amaro Jr. looked like a genius when Lee re-signed with Philadelphia as a free agent. Amaro not only obtained the No. 3 prospect in the Mariners farm system, but he also retained the player the Mariners acquired in the deal.\nAumont, however, has failed to live up to expectations in his MLB career. Almost immediately after being acquired, his control issues began to show. At Double A Reading, he was beaning batters unintentionally and firing off wild pitches, causing the team to ultimately move him to the bullpen.\nHis lack of command would set the tone for his career. In 2013, he walked 51 batters between the majors and Triple A and struck out just 61 batters. The following year, he appeared in five games for the Phillies and posted an ERA of 19.06.\nDespite his control issues, the team decided to return him to a starting role. In Triple A, he showed signs of potential. Opponents batted just .222 against him and he had an ERA of 2.35, but the walks were still an issue.\nWith the Phillies needing a spot start for the injured Cole Hamels, Aumont was called up to pitch against the St. Louis Cardinals, who have the best record in baseball, and the team almost instantly regretted that decision.\nThe Cardinals needed just six batters to crack the code on Aumont, who seemed to open every at bat with an elevated two-seam fastball. To make matters worse, his control looked even worse than advertised. His pitches were so far out of the strike zones at times that Little Leaguers wouldn\u2019t even swing. In the end, he allowed six runs, a pair of home runs walked seven and struck out only two in four innings.\nEven when Aumont looked like he was regaining his confidence back, he found a way to ruin it. In the second inning, after allowing a two-run homer to Yadier Molina, Aumont seemed to regain his composure, striking out Randal Grichuk and forcing Jon Jay to ground out. Then, he allowed a hit to opposing pitcher Tyler Lyons and Kolten Wong followed by clubbing his eighth home run of the season. Aumont would walk a pair of batters before finally retiring Mark Reynolds.\nThe seven walks issues by Aumont were the most by a Phillies starter since Paul Abbott walked nine in 2004, Abbott\u2019s final MLB game.\nAumont is now 26, the point of most MLB players career where they are at their prime. There is not much more that Aumont can learn that hasn\u2019t already been taught to him since being drafted in 2007. Simply put, he doesn\u2019t have what it takes to be a MLB pitcher. Given how terrible he looked on the mound, he has no trade value either. At this point, the Phillies should designate him for assignment and free up the roster spot for someone younger who has a higher ceiling.\nThe Phillies have provided Aumont with more than enough opportunities to succeed, it is time to chalk this up as a loss.\nThe Red Sox Should be Deadline Buyers\nMLB\u2019s New Idea for the Ninth Inning Doesn\b...\nAaron Nola is Ready for October\nPosted in Blog, SportsTagged Cliff Lee, MLB, Philadelphia Phillies, Phillippe Aumont",

        "raw_content": "Chiropractors are best known for treatment of neck and back pain. Chiropractic may also help relieve postural stress, headache, shoulder, arm, wrist and hand, hip, knee and foot pain. A Chiropractic physician is an excellent first choice to evaluate most types of muscle and joint pain, numbness, weakness, vertigo or activity limitations. Most but not all patients are appropriate candidates for spinal manipulation. Dr. LeMay understands this and never hesitates to promptly refer a patient when indicated and has excellent working relationships with medical specialists in internal medicine, neurology, neurosurgery and orthopedics. X-ray facilities are available on site at Bull Run Chiropractic Clinic if necessary.\nChiropractic health care emphasizes the relationship between the structure and function of the human body. Mechanical, postural and repetitive stress may result in chronic pain and inflammation. Acute trauma such as slips and falls, auto crashes and on-the-job injuries may cause bone fracture, muscle injury and ligament tearing with resulting pain and disability. Dr. LeMay is highly trained as both a Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.), requiring 4 years following undergraduate college and as a Registered Nurse (R.N.) with bachelors degree in nursing. Skilled Chiropractic spinal adjustments, also known as manual manipulation of the spine and and extremities has been demonstrated in many peer-reviewed published studies to be very safe, and effective for relief of symptoms. Chiropractic has been demonstrated to be a lower cost alternative in many cases. Dr. LeMay uses a variety of \"hands-on\" Chiropractic adjustments help restore normal joint motion and reduce muscle spasm and pain. Massage, physiotherapy, stretching, athletic taping and exercise also help speed recovery. A person who has balanced posture, symmetrical flexibility and strength will generally be a person with fewer complaints of pain.",

How exciting!\nThanks, by the way, for the kind words about the aran. I\u2019m happy with it, though it is definitely acres too big for a <1-year old child.

        "raw_content": "FHA Cuts Time for Previously Foreclosed Homeowners to Obtain New Mortgages\nHomeowners who were laid off and lost their homes to foreclosure could qualify for a new mortgage in as little as a year under an unprecedented federal rule change that slashes the usual waiting period between financial disaster and buying a new house.\nNormally, homeowners who were foreclosed on must wait three years before they can qualify for a loan backed by the Federal Housing Administration. FHA loans require only a 3.5 percent down payment and have more lenient lending standards than conventional loans, though borrowers have to carry long-term mortgage insurance. Getting a conventional loan after foreclosure can take up to seven years.\nThe new changes allow borrowers who meet a set of strict criteria to qualify for an FHA loan only 12 months after losing their house for failure to make payments.\n\"To get A-paper institutional financing so soon after a foreclosure is unheard-of,\" said Brent Wilson, with Comstock Mortgage in Sacramento, Calif. \"It should increase the buyer pool throughout the country.\"\nThe FHA announced the changes Aug. 15 in a letter to lenders titled \"Back to Work: Extenuating Circumstances.\" Officials say it was meant to acknowledge the reality of the recession, with its mass layoffs, and to help people return to home ownership.\n\"We've just been through an economic shock in this country when people lost their jobs through no fault of their own,\" said Brian Sullivan, spokesman for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, which oversees the FHA. \"Now we're in a recovery, and many borrowers have become re-employed and are able to sustain a mortgage again.\"\nTo qualify, borrowers must fit the FHA's profile of those who deserve an early second chance.\nThey must have lost their homes in a foreclosure or short sale because they were unemployed or experienced a big drop in household income due to circumstances \"beyond the borrower's control.\" They have to show they have recovered financially and otherwise have a clean credit record. And they have to complete housing counseling.\nThe new guidelines are gradually gaining attention.\n\"We're still in the digestive mode,\" said Dan Starelli, senior vice president with Umpqua Bank in Sacramento.\nSome say the new rules are a breath of hope for former homeowners and for the housing market, which would benefit from a new pool of potential buyers.\n\"There are a large number of people who are going to fit these criteria,\" said Chris Little, president of the Sacramento Association of Realtors. \"For a lot of people, it could get them back in the game.\"\nSooner is probably better for buyers, he said.\nDespite strong upward pressure on home prices in the past year, they remain far below the peak of last decade's bubble. Mortgage rates have risen from a low of less than 3.5 percent earlier this year to around 4.5 percent today but remain a bargain in historical terms.\nCash-paying investors have dropped out of the market as prices rise, leaving room for those with FHA loans and lower down payments to jump in after being virtually shut out for most of the past year. A growing supply of homes for sale is also helping to stabilize the market.\n\"There are so many fewer cash buyers,\" Little said. \"Prices are floating up to where investors don't perceive it as the screaming deal they did a year ago. It allows (traditional buyers) a better crack at getting into the mix.\"\nPat Shea, president of Lyon Real Estate in Sacramento, said many buyers have been waiting for a chance to take advantage of prices and interest rates that are still relatively affordable.\nReal estate agents and homebuilders have been counting on these so-called \"boomerang\" or \"recovery\" buyers to help bolster sales in the next few years.\n\"These people owned homes before,\" Shea said. \"They want to own homes again. There will be hundreds of buyers coming back.\"\nLenders regard the changes with some skepticism.\nStarelli, with Umpqua Bank, said his financial institution is unusual because it services its own loans. That means it can start implementing the new FHA standards without holdup.\nFrom our standpoint, we're going to go directly with this guidance,\" he said.\nBut many other lenders sell packages of loans to investors, who have their own underwriting criteria.\n\"Just because FHA makes the changes doesn't mean all lenders will do it because the investors won't allow it,\" Starelli said.\nMany people lost their jobs and homes in the recession more than three years ago and can already qualify for an FHA loan, he noted.\nStarelli also said he thought it was unlikely that someone who went through a foreclosure only a year ago would have recovered their income and creditworthiness enough to meet the FHA's new standards.\nComstock's Wilson said he thinks the FHA's changes are meant to increase business after it raised its mortgage insurance premiums earlier this year and extended the insurance payments over the life of its loans. The changes make FHA-backed loans more expensive and less attractive than they once were, driving away borrowers, he said.\n\"I'm a big fan of conventional financing,\" Wilson said. \"I advise against FHA as much as I can if people are qualified.\"\nVisit The Sacramento Bee (Sacramento, Calif.) at http://www.sacbee.com\nMarket Updates....\nI haven't blogged in a while because things have been super busy, which is good. I just want to make a quick statement to anyone who is \"on the fence\" right now about buying, either because you think rates are going to go down again, or you're afraid the market is not yet at it's bottom. I don't believe either to be true, and market indicators seem to agree.\nEven though a 30 year fixed mortgage is getting into the 4's now doesn't mean it's a bad deal, and I don't think that there's going to be much going down. Can you imagine that when my parents bought their first home the rate was almost twenty percent? When I first started my practice rates were in the sevens and eights and that was a deal.\nAlso, the market is only going to go up, in my opinion, and the inventory for buyers is low right now, but I believe it will improve, especially next spring when Sellers realize that they can now sell their properties. There will still be a number of homes that are in the foreclosure market that are going to be released by banks as well.\nDon't wait! Think about buying now if you're in the market.",

The assignment of the rubbing to the Kingdom of Chu is tentative, but is based upon style and design. The warrior at right is attacking a phoenix, which may symbolically represent a rival kingdom. Each figure stands above what appears to be a door handle, with a loop hanging down from its mouth. The faces have feline eyes and what appear to be fiery upper lips.

        "raw_content": "Islamic Holy War and the Fate of Non-Muslims\nScholars, most from Europe and the US but some from Islamic countries, present primary and secondary material on the theory and practice of jihad and the treatment of non-Muslims in conquered territories. They consider the Qur\u2019an and Hadith, classical writings of Muslim theologians and jurists, 20th-century overviews, various regions, jihad slavery, and Muslim and non-Muslim chronicles and eyewitnesses accounts. Annotation \u00a92006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR\nIt is frequently stated that Islam is one of the great world religions and that its adherents are generally nonviolent and tolerant toward other people; it is strictly radical fundamentalists who have interpreted jihad in a violent way and chosen the path of terrorism. Bostom, who has published numerous magazine and newspaper articles on Islam, aims to dispel these notions. In a book that is both broad in coverage and thorough in scope, he uses both primary and secondary sources to describe the violent nature of jihad conquests over the past 1400 years. Drawing from the Qur\u2019an, commentators on the Qur\u2019an, Islamic jurists, and Muslim and non-Muslim scholars, Bostom provides vivid accounts of such events as the massacres of the Qurayzah in the seventh century and the Armenians in Turkey in the 19th. From a historical perspective, this book is an excellent resource and is valuable for academic libraries with collections in Islamic studies. However, while Bostom successfully argues that violent episodes have occurred throughout the history of Islam, it does not necessarily follow that the vast majority of people who presently adhere to that faith encourage violent practices.-John Jaeger, Dallas Baptist Univ.

After heading what he called a \u201cfractious\u201d council these past four years, he lost his bid for another term in the Oct. 22 municipal election, coming in third place with 1,477 votes, while Darrin Davidson garnered 2,914 votes, and mayor-elect Sandy Brown secured 3,413 ballots. \u201cI wasn\u2019t particularly happy with the last council and their priorities, and judging from the election, most in Orangeville shared that opinion.\u201d\nHowever, Williams is not deterred, describing the experience as a \u201cbaptism of fire\u201d that gave him the drive, tenacity, strength, and tools needed to serve on Orangeville and Dufferin County council and beyond. \u201cI have the knowledge and experience to do great things in our riding.\u201d\nSo far Harzadan Singh Khattra and Kevin Weatherbee are the only other ones approved as potential Duffrin-Caledon Conservative candidates.\n\u201cBolton struggles to find a downtown identity. Caledon\u2019s challenge to preserve its rural heritage, the impact to its ambulance service, and Shelburne\u2019s growth pressure in sewage and water supply constraints,\u201d were some of the things outgoing Mayor Williams talked about at his announcement. \u201cOur focus must be on Canadians first.\u201d\nHe described Orangeville has being \u201cin the best shape it has been in its history,\u201d with its economy having \u201cnever been so strong,\u201d and Dufferin-Caledon is unique by being \u201crural at heart,\u201d but \u201cclose to the city.\u201d\nHe noted he was \u201cdisheartened\u201d by Weatherbee and Khattra deciding to seek the nomination before Tilson\u2019s retirement announcement, particularly referring to alleged social media posts from Weatherbee that he says undermined his mayoral campaign.\n\u201cWhile I am surprised Mr. Williams chose to make myself the focus of his announcement, he is free to do so,\u201d said Mr. Weatherbee in a statement following Williams\u2019 announcement. \u201cIt is up to the members of our party to decide with their votes who they think is best suited to represent our party in the next election. They can decide for themselves if they believe Mr. Williams\u2019 divisive approach is what they want to represent our party here in Dufferin-Caledon in the next election.\u201d\nThe deadline for completed candidacy application is Nov. 30.",

        "raw_content": "We now play at new venues and in new countries\n\"So, did you finally get yourself a copy of Never Mind The Bollocks now that it's ended up in a clearance sale?\". Pye Hastings smiles and says :\"No, not quite....not yet. Musically speaking, as far as I'm concerned, punk is not very interesting. You see, over the years I've slightly adjusted my point of view regarding punk. It was, and always will be, just a lot of noise, but I admire the vitality, the aggression, which says 'nobody is going to tell us what to do'. After all, I had the same attitude, only ten years earlier.\"\nWe met Pye Hastings and the other bandmembers after a successful gig at the Burg Herzberg festival in Eisenach,Germany. It's a festival marked by hippie-nostalgia, but with a surprisingly young audience. It's the 19th of July 2003 and, since the band has reformed, this is already their third appearance here. An indication of regained popularity ?\nPye in Wuppertal (D), june 18 2005\nBut first we get to talk about the downturn in popularity of CARAVAN in the early 80's. Pye continues: \"The English press really rallied against me in those days. It's true that CARAVAN was one of those bands with songs that never seemed to end, but we weren't quite as pompous as most of the others. The problem is that you don't stay young forever,you want to try out new things and, in doing so, you hope that the things that you like are also appreciated by your audience. Because your hobby is also your job, and if the public doesn't like what you're doing, they won't be buying your records or come to your concerts, and consequently there won't be any money coming in and you won't survive.\nLooking back, the arrival of punk marked a changing of the guards. The audience had changed. Ours stayed at home because they couldn't find anyone to mind the children and a younger generation chose their new heroes. Have you noticed that the bands that had a large female following before punk came along are the ones that have come out of the whole thing the most unscathed ? Since I discovered that, I try to write songs that also find a receptive ear with women. Without success unfortunately, if I have to believe my wife\"\nSulking on the couch\nAnd that's how you ended up sitting at home in 1982? \"Yes, after quite a good tour to promote The Album, it just stopped. I was sitting at home, sulking on the couch. After a few months my wife said to me : 'Pye, go and find yourself another job'. That's how I ended up in the building trade again. Now I've got a one man business that inspects new buildings for explosion danger because of methane gas under the foundations. Early on I used to still get an invitation now and then, in 1983 for instance we did a reunion gig in a sold out Marquee, to celebrate fifteen years of CARAVAN, but when the 90's came along, it seemed as if people had completely forgotten us. That is, until some old fans came back into the picture.\nAt first I wasn't really interested, I didn't want to become someone who would play old CARAVAN songs over and over again. Fans can be your worst enemy sometimes if they expect you to play your old songs exactly the same way you played them twenty years ago. But at the same time I started to believe in these fans, because of their positive attitude : they seem to know for sure that the next Caravan album will be the best ever. They organised gigs for us and that created new opportunities for us to play live, which in turn got other old fans interested in getting involved again as well. For the guys who had just started the HTD record company that was a good reason to offer us a contract for a new album : The Battle of Hastings. For many fans this was really an indication that CARAVAN was rolling along on God's roads again ! Next, a proper English tour in the autumn of 1996, and after that, for the first time in 20 years, a couple of concerts in Holland, a country with a very strong fanbase that has always stayed loyal towards the band over the years (CARAVAN did two concerts in September 1997, one in The Tivoli club in Utrecht, and the other one in The Oosterpoort in Groningen. That first concert is still available on a limited edition 2CD called 'Back On The Tracks' and can be purchased through this website -ed.). The year after that it was off to Germany and then back to Holland again. The opportunity to re-record some of our old songs in a new style, a sort of unplugged version if you like, resulted in All Over You and All Over You Too. Some decent sales in Japan, the beginning of remastering our old albums and heaps of new compilations of old and new material.\"\n\"These past two years it's been going really well. We went to Japan for the first time ! Back to the U.S.A. again, and Canada, where we did 'For Richard' live again with an orchestra, conducted by Martyn Ford, who also was there with us on The New Symphonia album way back in 1973. Before that we'd already been to Italy, Greece and Spain. In Barcelona we had threehunderd people in tears during 'For Richard'. Really fantastic... As far as I'm concerned I'd love to go fulltime into the musicbusiness again ! And the others feel the same way about it.\"\nDavid Sinclair departs\nIs that's why it's all the more painful when David Sinclair departs? \"Absolutely ! Our regained success also meant an opportunity to record a brand-new album. Our Dutch fans,who participated in the Back On The Tracks project, really were a strong catalyst in all of this. Once again they showed how dedicated they are to the success of this band.\nDave and I would write six songs each. As I was away on business a lot during that time, Dave already started recording his songs. We were all very confident, after all, Dave is a very talented composer and arranger. My guitar sections and vocals would then be added later on. But when I heard Dave's songs I got this uncanny feeling: great AOR songs, but not CARAVAN. The touch of irony, the being obstinate, of which he's very capable of, had gone out of his writing. I asked the other guys what they thought of it, and they shared my doubts. I suggested that David, me and my son Julian (sound technician and assistant to Rupert Hine, amongst other things-ed.) would get together and give Dave's songs a CARAVAN-feel. But it soon became clear that Dave was too much attached to his songs, and did not allow them to be changed in any way. And that's how we spent a whole afternoon together, both of us totally bewildered and wondering how on earth it could have come this far.... \"And that's how we went our separate ways, without animosity, on the contrary, as mates. I was upset, and so was he. Mark, our new manager, had brought it to our attention, at first hesitantly, but later on a bit more emphatically, that the fans were starting to wonder what on earth had happened to the plans for our forthcoming album. It was only then that, on the basis of my six songs, we started working towards that objective. At the same time we had contractual obligations to do live concerts, which weighed heavily on my mind. Mark then told Dave that, under the circumstances, it would be better if Dave didn't take any part in recording the new album. Fortunately Jan (Schelhaas, keyboard man in CARAVAN from 1976 till 1979, after that inCamel-ed.) was prepared to substitute for Dave. Jan and Dave are good mates, so Dave didn't have any problems with that. Under enormous pressure we then recorded The Unauthorised Breakfast Item, in the space of four weeks. Fortunately Dave allowed us to include his song 'Nowhere to hide' on the album. It's a fantastic song, once again proving what a good composer he really is.\"\nHeavier sound and open strings\nDoes this chain of events (Dave's departure ) affect your concerts in any way ? \"I think so, but to what extent is hard to say. Of course we already decided a while ago that we wanted to have a much heavier sound. That's why Doug Boyle has joined the band. He's our lead guitarist now, so I have had to take a back seat role (smiles). Doug is a huge CARAVAN-fan. When he ran into Julian in a recording studio, he asked him if it would be allright for him to pop into my place one day. I was kind of interested in what he had to say, knowing that he had toured with Robert Plant and Nigel Kennedy for a few years. We clicked instantly, I really wanted him in the band. A young guy like him gives us oldies a new perspective on everything. The other guys in the band didn't take long to be convinced either. With each new tour we find that Doug is more and more suited to this band, and with Jan on keyboards, there's more room for different nuances. The other young man is Simon Bentall, on percussion, who's busy with dance and South American rhythms. He's terribly busy with that- everyone in England is in a salsa mood at the moment- so he won't be there on our next tour.\" So CARAVAN is not 'your' musical vehicle? \"Certainly not, the band belongs just as much to the others. We take each other's ideas and preferences into account. I certainly can not simply drop a song at the drop of a hat. I'm always writing new songs, i.e. snippets of songs. I play them to the others during rehearsals, or when we visit each other. I look for their reactions : do they like it or not ? If they like it, I continue to work on them. Those snippets just get into my head, they automatically pop up. My real problem is to try and remember them. That only happens when I've played them to myself on the guitar, after I worked on them a bit. Most of the time I play them in minor with open strings, and just imagine hearing the harmonies when I'm doing that ! After that, a tune is permanently stored in my filing-system (smiles and points to his head). Global Number One hitrecords have been lost because I was lying in my bed, too lazy to get up and pick up my guitar, deluding myself that I would remember those snippets the next morning, but of course I had forgotten them by then. Do you know how our first albums came to fruition? Six o'clock in the morning, with the little boy in my lap, I played and sang tunes for him.\"\nNew venues in new countries\n\"Now the new album is out, I think we're going to give the whole thing an even heavier sound. The days when we were young self-opinionated guys are far behind us now. We have turned into 'real' musicians who enjoy subtly weaving new musical trends into our own brand of music. Speaking for myself, I'm getting more and more interested in the latest technical possibilities. That's Julian's influence on me. These days I browse through his record collection. I've never really been inclined to buy other people's music, but Julian draws my attention to new things, teaches me new things on the computer. He urges me to try new things, be more adventurous. Apart from that, I really want to do something with soulmusic again, my first musical love affair..... And, to come back to your first question, I bought the EELS' CD's the other day. As a band, of course we also try and make the most of the revival in 60's music that is happening at the moment. That's why all our albums are being re-released on CD, the ones we released in the 80's as well (Better By Far, The Album, Back To Front, with bonustracks-ed. ) and more live concerts. That's something that's totally beyond our control, by the way, so you can't blame us for an over-supply of albums out there. But I've said it before, I'm not going to continue to play our 60's songs over and over again, I'm looking for a new musical impetus. I want to create new music and give a new spin to my old songs. I really want to improve myself and be more adventurous, otherwise I quit. Fortunately the fans share my vision. Four, five years ago we played in the same old places where we played all those years ago. Now we play in countries and at venues where we've never been before !\"",

        "raw_content": "For Honor is a new IP that was revealed during the Ubisoft E3 2015 Press Conference and features 4v4 hand to hand combat. For our hands-on demo we were walked through a short tutorial of the game mechanics that mostly included locking onto enemies and being able to block and attack with swords.\nOnce the action started in For Honor our team of 4 warriors raced out of a castle to attack multiple targets \u2013 hacking and slashing our way through them \u2013 eventually ending up on non-npc enemies who fought bravely against our attacks. The demo we played at E3 was almost like a medieval version of a Call of Duty multiplayer map in which you have to gain control of various areas by killing the opponents.\nThe melee combat in For Honor reminded us of Dark Souls in which pacing, movement and timing were all critical to gain an advantage against the enemy. You can even roll out of harm\u2019s way much like being able to avoid attacks in Dark Souls however the game is much faster paced and you\u2019ll find yourself quickly ganging up on opponents or fighting for your life against a mob.\nFor Honor definitely gets the blood pumping \u2013 the controls and graphics hit the mark and for a few minutes of E3 we were transported into an entirely different and brutal time of warfare.\nFor Honor E3 2015 Trailer\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJS3ICmEYf4",

        "title": "Combustible Celluloid - Interview with Madeleine Stowe",
        "raw_content": "Madeleine Stowe is very frank about why she chose The General's Daughter as her comeback movie. She thought Simon West's earlier movie, Con Air, was a load of fun. She also wanted to work with leading man John Travolta. And there was a more concrete reason: \"I had been out of the loop for so long. And I had never thought about doing things before for business considerations or anything. But [this] was a big studio picture. After seeing this explosion, this media saturation on entertainment journalism, I realized the importance of being in a picture that had a profile.\"\nA good deal of Stowe's scenes with Travolta were cut from the final print of the movie. \"You can tell looking at it that there are gaps. And what's missing from this is that she plays this cat-and-mouse game with him, and she's pretending she's not interested, and she's chasing after him, and saying 'I'm not married anymore.' Well, she is married, and her husband calls up. And she's been lying to him. But they are separated, she just hadn't filed for divorce. It's a huge, huge absence in the movie.\"\n\"I think studios are a little nervous sometimes if their characters are a little less than pure. I think they worried about that in the script initially, although it's what I was drawn to, and John was too. Also, when they [initially] tested it, the audience was confused about which story they were supposed to follow. And I think that it was a point of integrity that they didn't want to belittle the investigation.\" Strangely, just before her press junket, Stowe was informed that a lot of her scenes would be restored on the DVD version.\nStowe had enjoyed \"rolling her eyes\" and laughing along with director West's earlier Con Air. But working with West was a little more difficult. \"I really like being bossed around. Simon tends to leave you alone. He was very enigmatic to me. And John and I were always both very uncertain about what he was thinking. I don't feel like I have to be coddled by the director, but I really didn't know what was going on. And then I realized he's just a straight shooter.\"\nJames Woods also stars in the movie as a Colonel with a dark secret. Stowe had a ball sparring with Woods in the makeup trailer each morning. \"He hates Bill Clinton. He makes no bones about it. I'm not telling you anything new. He went on Terry Gross' [radio] show, Fresh Air and called [Clinton] a sociopath. [This] was all during the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal. And we would have HUGE fights. And we would be laughing, but everybody was terrified because they can't stand to see actors going at each other's throats.\"\nStowe is cheerful, comfortable, and seems larger than her tiny frame can contain. Her eyes are her most startling feature--dewey and dark. She plays the Hollywood game like an expert now, taking three years off to raise her first child, May, with her husband of 19 years, Brian Benben (from HBO's Dream On series), and now getting back into the game with ease. It's been 12 years since her debut, when we watched her being watched by Emilio Estevez and Richard Dreyfuss in Stakeout (1987). She followed that by co-starring with Kevin Costner in Revenge (1990), Jack Nicholson in The Two Jakes (1990), and Kurt Russell and Ray Liotta in Unlawful Entry (1992). But it was the success of The Last of the Mohicans (1992) that put her on the map.\nThe following year, she won a Best Supporting Actress award from the National Society of Film Critics for Robert Altman's masterful Short Cuts--chosen from among a huge cast including Julianne Moore, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Lili Taylor, Lily Tomlin, and Frances McDormand. A leading role in the thriller Blink (1994) followed. But audiences didn't respond. After the wretched western, Bad Girls, rescue came again in the form of Terry Gilliam's 12 Monkeys (1995), a movie that garnered critical acclaim, modest box-office, and a strong cult following on the budding Internet. At this high point, Stowe retreated to her Texas ranch for the birth of her daughter May.\n\"And so the whole world has exploded during this time. I did Playing By Heart [released earlier this year] to get my feet wet again, and then this came up. So I'm back now. But I'm really behind. I don't have a computer and I've never seen the internet. I've never seen a web site.\"\nFor all her talent, Stowe tends to end up playing characters that are physically abused somehow. In The General's Daughter, there is a scene where a bunch of bad guys attack her. \"I remember being a kid and loving Little Women and identifying with Beth, the one that was dying and couldn't have any kind of social contact with anybody. So there is obviously some correlation there. And I think that as I got older, I resisted that. Try to push ahead. I just try to do what feels right. I hate noble shit, and I hate 'I am woman.' Go away.\"\n\"There's SO much money in Hollywood. And the money is in the action pictures. Studios are paralyzed right now. I've read three great scripts, two of which they won't green-light yet, and one that's just getting ready. And they're really really uncomfortable with it. They'll sit there and say, '[that the violence in action films] doesn't affect children at all.' Of course they're saying that because, number one: it makes them a lot of money. And number two: they're not affected by it because they're developed human beings. [But], I watch my child, and she sees something in there, and somebody hitting, and she starts acting it out. That's just how it works.\"\n\"I feel really weird about this because I've made so many movies that have violent things it [them]. And I'm being totally honest in saying that if somebody offered me ten zillion dollars to do something and it was violent... I might do it. I don't know how much integrity I actually have. I certainly haven't done a thing in the world to change that or develop my own projects. But now I'm working on something, a historical piece, Texas, 1840's. It'll take me about a year or two to develop. And if people reject that and I feel it's good, then I'll complain!\"\nBesides working on her own project, Stowe was asked to be in Terry Gilliam's next movie, along with Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz. \"It's called The Man Who Killed Don Quixote. [Gilliam] wrote it, and like everything else Terry does, [it] goes back and forth between current times and then flashing back to Don Quixote's time. So I play two characters: a woman who is married to his boss who's having an affair with him, and later on you see she's a Duchess.\"\nOne thing Stowe loves about acting is being on location. She says that she appreciated being in Bad Girls simply because it introduced her to Texas. \"There's nothing better than being outside when you're shooting. I tend to fail miserably, I think, when I'm in a sound stage. And really, there's an enchantment that happens when you're on location. I really enjoyed being in Savannah for this movie. I enjoyed North Carolina when we did The Last of the Mohicans [and] I enjoyed Mexico in Revenge (1990). There's something about all that that makes you want a movie to go on forever, really.\"",

        "title": "Web Application Hacking",
        "raw_content": "November 15, 2018 by Patrick J. Wasson 5 Comments\nExplain why web applications have become such a target for hackers. In addition, choose one of the Top 10 vulnerabilities we covered in class and describe why you think it is important to securing web applications.\nWeb applications have become such a target for hackers because firewall works pretty well nowadays, but web applications have to let users get in their network/system in order to see and use their website, which is what the web application functions to. Hackers can take advantage by the hole that web applications opened, and hack from web server to database server from the hole for the customer data. One example would be SQL injection, which could trick the system as long as result has one row. Hackers use \u201cor\u201d in the last filed in SQL statement, and they probably get in as administrator because the first row of user database is usually as administrator. Therefore, it is important to have function in the web coding that only allow what types of text get in from the textbox.\nWhen I searched online, I found there are three main reasons why web applications have become such a target for hackers. Firstly, web applications are easier to reach. According to TechTalks, in many cases, once websites are breached, they serve as a beachhead for other major attacks and allow attackers to move laterally across the network with insider access. Secondly, there are too many novice programmers writing web application codes. The third reason is the failure to update third-party packages. I think these three points could explain the reason. Malicious file injection allows attackers to perform remote code execution etc by compromising input files or streams; commonly caused by improperly trusting input files. It is important to protect the web application from attackers.\nhttps://bdtechtalks.com/2016/02/29/why-are-web-applications-attractive-targets-for-hackers/\nWeb applications exist to share types of information, which are hosted on a single source, with multiple people. These applications may contain databases with sensitive material such as credit card or social security numbers, which is ideal information to a potential attacker. If a web app isn\u2019t secured properly, a hacker may gain access to this personal information and use it for many purposes, such as selling the personal information, committing identity theft or opening new credit accounts. For hackers, web application security is the sole hurdle they must clear in order to gain access to an abundance of personal data.\nOne prominent vulnerability in web app safety is insecure direct object reference. Web developers must ensure that a person\u2019s username is not located in a URL because URL\u2019s are shareable. Consequently, if someone shares a URL while logged into their user account, the next person that clicks on the URL may have access to whatever information is in that account. Considering technology\u2019s evolution, this should seem like an easy security measure to take. However, even something this simple can slip through the cracks due to time constraints or high demand for the completion of web development, which was the case when healthcare.gov went live with chaotic results.\nThe reason why web applications have become such a target for hackers is web applications are easier to reach with low cost and potential high returns. The vulnerability of breaching security cause a possible harm easily. For example, Cross-site scripting (XSS) is a common computer security vulnerability typically found in web applications. Attackers send malicious code in the form of a browser side script to a different end user by injecting into trustworthy website. When web applications do not have best practice in protection, the impact of XSS would be the disclosure of sensitive data (Business information, PII, Intellectual information and even national security information) that might cause fraud, defamation, identity theft or destruction of targets.\nThe biggest reason of web applications become the target of attacking is because they are easy to hack. It is easier to reach since the existence of many loopholes. Experienced programmers are not likely to program the web applications, and most of the coding are done by relative new programmers. There are many vulnerabilities, CSRF sounds like cross-site scripting (XSS), but it\u2019s very different from XSS, which exploits trusted users within a site, and CSRF, which exploits trusted sites by disguising requests from trusted users. CSRF attacks are considered more dangerous than XSS attacks because they tend to be less prevalent (and therefore have relatively few resources to guard against) and less defensible than XSS attacks. Since these types of vulnerabilities exist, Hackers have more chances to hack the web applications with limited resource, and we need to secure them.",

        "title": "Contemporary Medicine | My Medical Opinion",
        "raw_content": "Steven G. Ayre, MD\nUnmanageable as the many problems besetting the medical profession are these days, there is one particularly important problem which has to do simply with the matter of nomenclature. Confucius said that the beginning of management is to call things by their proper names. Doctors, it is said, do health care. In actual fact what it is that doctors do should more properly be termed \u201cdisease management.\u201d Using terminology more accurately descriptive of the activities performed could begin to make matters more manageable.\nThe prevailing par\u0003\u001fadigm of doctor-patient interaction in contemporary health care is one wherein the doctor plays the active role \u2013 questioning for the existence of disease, examining for signs of it, determining the appropriate diagnostic label, and prescribing what he has been trained to consider as the proper treatment for the diagnosed condition. Much of the time, the prescription medications recommended are things which simply ameliorate the symptoms of the condition itself, rather than doing anything to alter the actual disease process itself. The patient\u2019s role in all this is essentially a passive one: to take the medication as prescribed.\nTo be sure this all constitutes a gross generalization, and it is accepted that all generalizations are false \u2013 including this one. In this context then, there\u0003L is some degree of truth in the above. It may also be said, on the other hand, that modern medical expertise truly shines in areas of management of life threatening infections and trauma. These are acute conditions. It is predominantly with the treatment of chronic degenerative diseases that our \u201chealth care\u201d fails to provide the means for full recovery of the patient\u2019s well-being. What we are doing with our treatment of chronic degenerative disease is more disease management \u2013 as opposed to health care. Disease management is long term symptomatic management, requiring equally long term follow-up with monitoring for the appropriateness of drug dosage to control disease symptoms, observe for side-effects, & etc. A recent study published in JAMA (April 15, 1998, Vol 279, No. 15) indicates that this type of disease management has, as o\u0003\u02d8ne result, actually made the medical profession the sixth leading cause of death in America.\nClearly, things need to change here, and my medical opinion is that what must change first is our terminology. If the beginning of management indeed resides in calling things by their proper names, then what we must do is to begin by acknowledging that what doctors do is not health care, but disease management. Such changing of our terms of reference is not just our own task. The insurance companies, the drug industry, and other elements within the infrastructure of medicine are all unconsciously conspiring to not only maintain our status quo, but to define it themselves, and then to regulate it to a high degree. They refer to doctors as PCP\u2019s \u2013 primary care physicians \u2013 a label I have always resented on account of another use of this particular acronym, this being for pneumocystis carinii pneumonia. The term PCP carries with it the implied uniformity and complete interchangeability between any individual ph\u0003ysician and any other. Such uniformity greatly simplifies things for the captains of our medical industry, but it does little to allow for the individualized approach to patient management that is the hallmark of effective health care. Instead of PCP, the more appropriate acronym for such a physician would be DMT, for \u201cdisease management technician\u201d \u2013 a personless being doing \u201chealth care\u201d in support of the fastest growing failing business in the world.\nThese changes I am suggesting will most probably not be forthcoming from within the medical profession itself in any sort of proactive fashion. Nor will they come from the drug, insurance, or any of the other industries involved in the business of medicine. But come they most certainly will. As we begin the move into a post-industrial phase of our social and cultural development, the patient population is now in the process of voting with their feet, so to speak, in seeking out complementary and alternative forms of medical care from a wide variety of re\u0003\u0003sources in this society. This populist phenomenon is now serving to force our hand. We must adapt or we will perish. And I believe we will not perish, because I believe there are far too many intelligent and good-hearted people in the medical profession to allow for such a calamity.\nInstead of the term \u201cadapt\u201d used above, a far more fitting name for what we must do \u2013 in fact the underlying thrust behind much of what is now occurring almost ubiquitously within our society, including medical care in America \u2013 is to evolve. It helps to see that there is nothing reprehensibly wrong with the way things have evolved to date within our system of medical practice. What we see occurring has been \u2013 and still is \u2013 part of a natural evolution towards a new reality. The \u0003\bcoming into being of this reality is analogous to a birthing process. Just as it is always darkest before the dawn, so too in the birthing process the actual birthing itself is \u2013 psychically \u2013 a traumatic, devastating, and totally annihilating phenomenon. However, it is also one immediately succeeded by a magnificent experience of reintegration, of fulfillment of the process, and of life. So there is a wonderful promise underlying the chaos we are living through at this stage in our present system.\nI see a future characterized by our positive resurgence, out of the seeming dismal foundations of what now is, into the full power and manifestation of what we may have dreamed possible when first we decided to pursue a career in medicine. In the Bible, in Romans 5:3 \u0002\u0015it says,\u201cWe glory in tribulations also, knowing that tribulation worketh patience.\u201d Tribulation we now have in great measure, and patience is what we need to bear the birthing of this evolutionary process: patience and understanding \u2013 along with learning to call things by their proper names. With relevant nomenclature all around, we may understand what this process is, who we are in the process, and what are the possibilities for us to actually manage things more effectively within an evolved and renewed practice of medicine.\nNotice: It seems you have Javascript disabled in your Browser.

        "raw_content": "This time of year makes my heart catch. It is the time of year that my late husband Jim began to get noticeably and irrevocably ill. He died on Dec. 7, 2010, from pancreatic cancer, a diagnosis we did not receive until the morning of the day he died.\nI try not to think about those days of watching him waste away to a shadow of himself. I try not to see the dullness in his eyes caused by pain and illness instead of the sparkle of impishness I loved so much. I try not to let the terror rekindle that had ruled my mind for so many weeks while doctors tried to figure out what was wrong with the love of my life.\nBut it was all so pervasive and ended in my worst fear becoming a reality, and that is difficult to get past, let alone put aside. I know I was in major denial at the time. My heart knew what was happening; my survival instinct would not accept it.\nJim and Sassy\nI want to be braver about that time, accept that I had fears and what happened to us, but I can do nothing about the sadness that seeps in and takes residence for a while.\nIt is not a clinical depression; more like a melancholy over what I could not control, what I could not change, and how everything changed when the man who was my other half took his last breath.\nEverything changed, except the sadness and the feeling of loss. I can never get back the life I loved so much with the person I was meant to be with. I think I have accepted that, yet there are those times when I hear a noise in the house or feel a presence near me and my mind\u2019s response is \u201cJim is \u2026. \u201c\nBut Jim isn\u2019t. He never will again. And the reality is a battering ram to my heart every time it happens. Part of me wants it to be a nightmare that will poof when my eyes open to wakefulness, but I know that is not realistic, and then the sadness washes over me.\nI\u2019m not sure what I am still trying to sort out in my mind about those terrible months leading up to Jim\u2019s death. It feels like something is not resolved, and that is where the sadness lives, waiting to come out at certain times.\nWhat I am sure of is that the sadness doesn\u2019t predominate my life and it will not stay. For a while, as we go through holidays, our wedding anniversary in November, Jim\u2019s death anniversary in December and now the days leading up to those times, the sadness will live just under the surface of my countenance.\nAnd a song, a moment in time, an action, a group of people might cause it to show itself in a few tears, but don\u2019t be alarmed if you see them. I have come a long way in the last six years. I have a life and it is good.\nIt just never will be the same.\n\u2190 Autumn as a season of hope and projects to come\tTrying to rebuild my safe zone \u2192",

All angles were pursued and as the case was prepped for trial, negotiations as to possible plea deals were discussed. There was no movement. The Middlesex District Attorney\u2019s office refused to give an inch and negotiation attempts stopped completely after they offered a \u201cdeal\u201d of guilty to the charges, 18 months, with 6 months to serve in jail. The balance of the unserved time, they said, would be suspended, meaning that upon client\u2019s release from jail, if he slipped up, or simply irritated his probation officer, he could be shipped back to jail for another year. Client, a middle aged peaceful man, had no record.\nOn the first trial date the witnesses summonsed by the defense failed to appear. On the second trial date the same thing happened again but this time Lawyer was pushed into trial, even though one of the necessary witnesses outright refused to come to court.\nOver the course of two days Lawyer was able to show the the jury that the \u201cvictim\u201d and her boyfriend were not victims at all. On cross examination Lawyer exposed their untruths, as the two witnesses unsuccessfully attempted to line up the details of their stories. Their motives were exposed and the jury returned a unanimous verdict of not guilty. Client, shaken up after the ordeal, rejoiced at the decision, pleased that they saw the truth through the forest of lies.",

        "raw_content": "Liz Maxwell, Chief Dot Connector in the USDAC\nPicture this: It\u2019s the year 2035. I would be 50 years old, and can imagine I\u2019m experiencing the world quite differently than I am now at age 30. Imagine that you also are 20 years in the future, walking down the street in 2035 on a bright spring day and you suddenly have a moment of pause and reflection. It\u2019s one of those personal touchstone moments, where externally the patter of life continues on as normal, but you personally for whatever reason flash back to the world as it was 20 years ago, and quietly reflect for a moment on how far things have come.\nNow picture this: It\u2019s 2035, and things are awesome. It\u2019s a radical proposal, actually. We spend so much time perpetuating cultural narratives of gloom and doom, Hollywood produces a new apocalypse movie every week it seems, and even the progressive changemaker community I consider myself a part of spends a lot of time griping about how politics are owned by corporations, worrying that our natural world may be damaged beyond repair, genuinely struggling to disrupt systems that perpetuate class and race-based violence and prejudice.\nAnd it\u2019s true, in 2015, things were pretty bad.\nBut #DareToImagine this:\nIt\u2019s 2035, and there\u2019s a tangible sense that the tide is turning. Imagine that the work you have been engaged in for the past 20 years is showing significant results. All of the amazing people you know\u200a\u2014\u200aorganizers, activists, innovators, changemakers\u200a\u2014\u200aall of that work and people you were inspired by in 2015 have made major strides in the past 20 years. It\u2019s a really wild thought experiment, I realized yesterday as I facilitated a group of 10 people through this 20-minute exercise at #FeastUnite gathering in NYC, prepping for USDAC\u2019s upcoming national action campaign. When I tap into this visioning, here\u2019s what comes up for me:\nThe tangible sense in public space of a true melting pot\u200a\u2014\u200atruly diverse and integrated spaces with more eye contact, a felt sense of trust and dignity, subconscious class and racist prejudices no longer defining our default interactions. Urban green spaces are valued, commonplace, and cared for collectively. Farming is cool, and there\u2019s a big wave of the next generation moving outside the cities taking up the charge of growing sustainable, healthy food on a mass scale. The UN Development Goals set in 2015 really made an impact, and we\u2019re learning what it means to live with our changed but still incredible, vibrant and resilient planet. The world is significantly less violent than it was, with radically strict gun control laws in the U.S. that seemed as impossible as a black president did at one point, but now it would be silly to fear a public shooting, it simply doesn\u2019t happen anymore.\nIt\u2019s not an idyllic utopian state\u200a\u2014\u200athere is still work to be done. But you can feel in the air that a real cultural shift has taken place, that there is momentum in service of equity and empathy, and that now even more can be done.\nI believe that this is possible. I believe in our capacity as dreamers, as strategic thinkers, as conscious creators to design new ways of being. I believe that there are so many options in front of us much, much bigger than the social systems we\u2019ve created to date.\nHere are things that feel too bold to say: I believe the U.S. could provide significantly more publicly funded social services that would come to redefine acceptable standards about the quality of life and dignity of all human beings. I believe that through a lot of hard work, it\u2019s possible to heal the deeply damaging racist structures that were baked into the founding of this country and have been perpetuated for centuries. I believe that white people can come to terms with the guilt and damage caused by ancestors past, learn to take more ownership for all the ways institutional racism is perpetuated in the present, and begin to celebrate the individual responsibility and agency we have to dismantle that.\nNone of this is inevitable; there\u2019s a lot of work to do over the next 20 years, and surely beyond.\nBut the good news is: the world will change. We hear all the time: \u201cthe world is changing fast,\u201d \u201cthings aren\u2019t what they used to be.\u201d They sure aren\u2019t. They couldn\u2019t be. Change is the nature of our universe and all beings.The more interesting questions are: What will those changes be, and how many voices can be involved in visioning and creating the world\u2019s next iteration?\nWhen I started envisioning this yesterday, I was surprised at how much fear came up that made it really difficult to begin, get specific, and go even further. I think I am afraid, because maybe it won\u2019t come true. I am worried about the problems of the world in 2015, and some days they just seem to get more complex and irreparable. Hopelessness is real, and maybe one of the greatest cultural dangers we have to grapple with today.\nAnd so of course, this is why the process of envisioning is the most critical and perhaps the most radical thing we can do. As the great imagination gurus tell us: \u201cOur capacity to create new worlds is directly influenced by our ability to imagine them.\u201d If we actually want to use our agency and voice to help define what the world will look like in 20 years, then imagining is a mandate. Even if it\u2019s scary, even if it feels silly, even if it feels impossible or that the world we want is so very far away.\nBeginning October 10th, Emissaries from the Future will be popping up in strange, unexpected places all across the country, inviting thousands to join this radical act of collective visioning. It\u2019s a bold charge, but I believe we\u2019re up to the task. #DareToImagine new possibilities. Dare to dream real alternatives. Dare to let your heart open to that biggest, brightest possible future for all of us. I can\u2019t wait to see what we come up with\u2026\nLiz Maxwell asks: how many voices can be involved in visioning and creating the world\u2019s next iteration? Add yours!",

Throughout history, each person has had the opportunity to do good things for other people and the community, and this opportunity still presents itself to today's citizens of the world.\nHowever, today there is a big difference. The world will soon recognize that the power- and democratic-dominated decision-making processes are not serving our increasingly complex societies very well. We simply need better tools to resolve the various issues confronting our world. True consultation will be a very powerful tool.\nThe altruistic citizens of the world today have a double mission: doing good things for humanity and teaching others, by example, the process of consultation. Of these two missions, the latter will be the more important legacy for future generations who will not have to consciously learn this skill each generation; consultation will be a cultural trait\u2014just like it was in many aboriginal societies.",

        "raw_content": "DIO-CEMBER VOL2 - Ep346\nWe close out the year in excellent fashion with DIO-CEMBER VOL2! We left off last week with Ronnie James Dio fronting Black Sabbath. Inasmuch as the chemistry was palatable, Ronnie needs and change and things pick up in 1983. The Holy Diver album is an absolute powerhouse because of its lineup. Guitarist Vivian Campbell, bassist Jimmy Bain, and drummer Vinny Appice were the perfect arsenal to back Ronnie up. Accordingly, the results are made clear in the material they released. To follow up Holy Diver with such strong albums as Last in Line and Sacred Heart speaks to the power of this lineup.\nDIO-CEMBER VOL2\nDIO-CEMBER VOL2 explores the many changes that took place in Ronnie's career. While the original lineup gets plenty of love in this episode, we also aim to show you that fantastic material was released well after they ceased to be a unit. Consequently, you'll get tracks from DIO albums including Dream Evil, Lock Up the Wolves, Strange Highways, Magica, Killing the Dragon, and Master of the Moon. Additionally, Aaron spins a great track from the Heaven and Hell lineup.\nRonnie James Dio may no longer be with us but he leaves a musical legacy that endures. Indeed, his incomparable voice raised the bar for such legends as Richie Blackmore and Tony Iommi. Additionally, the impressive material that he put out through the DIO is an undeniable template to the greatness of Heavy Metal. We hope you've enjoyed DIO-CEMBER.\nDIO-CEMBER VOL2 is the end of our two-part tribute to the great Ronnie James Dio. However, there's always next year!\nEternol Idols video reviews on Youtube\nDirect download: DIO-CEMBER_VOL2_-_Ep346.mp3\nWe celebrate the holidays this week by releasing volume 1 of a 2 part special on a legend; DIO-CEMBER Vol1 is here! In this special, we pay tribute to the late, great Ronnie James Dio. This week's entry has us focusing on Ronnie's first decade in the rock world 1972-1981.\nRonald Padavona was born in New Hampshire in 1942. His family would soon move to New York where he would be raised around music. Beginning at the age of 5, Ronnie was a born-performer. Stints playing trumpet and bass would lead the way to Ronnie fronting bands. After changing his name to Dio around 1960, his first real step in the world of rock would be taken in 1972. ELF's self-titled debut album features Ronnie and childhood friends performing while Deep Purple legends Roger Glover and Ian Paice produced. This would lead to extended touring opening for Purple and, eventually, the formation of Richie Blackmore's Rainbow.\nRainbow's history is well-covered but, in short, the Dio-led version of the band is legendary in its output. Richie Blackmore's Rainbow, Rising, and Long Live Rock & Roll are testaments to the powerful partnership between the singer and guitarist.\nUnfortunately, the clash of egos would lead to Ronnie leaving Rainbow. On the other hand, rock history was waiting to be changed as Dio would then team up with Black Sabbath who had recently parted ways with Ozzy Osbourne. The newfound chemistry between Dio and guitarist Tony Iommi was undeniable. As a result, Black Sabbath would release two landmark albums with Ronnie; Heaven and Hell and Mob Rules. Despite the incredible material, it would be a short-lived union. But, that's for us to discuss on volume 2.\nWe hope you enjoy DIO-CEMBER Vol 1 - Ep345 and SHARE with a friend!\nMarvelous Team Ups - Episode 314\nEternal Idols - Sabbath and Related Youtube Reviews\nWe're back this week to tackle the who, what, when, where and why of the second half of our 1981 Year in Review Part 2!\nJuly of 1981 is a strong month for the rock genre. Strong efforts include releases by Foreigner, Def Leppard, and the Ramones. Additionally, some great under the radar albums by Demon and New England help bolster and already solid month.\nThe month of August is a busy one in news and pop culture. The launch of MTV on August 1st is a landmark moment that's about to turn the music world on its head. Also taking place in August of 1981, John Lennon assassin Mark David Chapman is sentenced. Furthermore, a fantastic musical release by Brad Whitford and Derek St. Holmes is getting attention.\nSeptember of 1981 is filled with great rock music as well as a shocking personnel change. The month is marked with solid outings by Triumph, Grand Funk Railroad, Michael Schenker Group, KIX, and Alice Cooper. Additionally, Iron Maiden do the unthinkable and switch lead singers right as the band is beginning its ascent.\nThe music news for October of 1981 includes a young Prince being boo'd off the stage while opening for the Rolling Stones. Also, music piracy is on the radar as the \"Home Taping is Killing Music\" campaign is launched. Music releases for October include new solo material from Ozzy Osbourne as well as a big release from his previous band, Black Sabbath. Notably, KISS venture into uncharted waters with a new look and a strange concept album.\nHollywood death gripped the United States in November of 1981. Famed actress Natalie Wood tragically drowns while on a boat ride with two other notable thespians. Mystery continues to surround the case. Also of note, porn star John Holmes is arrested, and later acquitted, in the Laurel Canyon \"Wonderland\" murders. Additionally, November of 1981 is highlighted by big releases from Motley Crue and AC/DC.\nAll of this is covered this week as well as classic commercials in our 1981 Year in Review Part 2!

However, Mark states that it was James and John who came to Jesus to make their request.\nSolution: It is clear that both the mother and her sons came to Jesus to make the request, since the text declares \u201cthe mother ... came to Him with her sons\u201d (v. 20). It is possible that the mother spoke first with the two sons closely following to reiterate the request. This is supported by Matthew\u2019s account because when Jesus responds \u201care you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink?\u201d the Bible says \u201cthey said to Him, `we are able\u2019 \u201d (v.22).

But those that did are undoubtedly still haunted by the film's score, a dischordant, eerie nightmare that seeps into your skin and lingers there for weeks. The music comes from Matthew Watson (a pseudonym for Matthew Wolfe, the director's brother who also co-wrote the movie), and Daniel Thomas Freeman, formerly a member of South London drone-folk band Rameses III, and along with Robbie Ryan's images, it does much to create the film's haunting mood. Neither appear to have any further bookings for composition yet, but with the Wolfe Brothers developing a Graham Greene-ish spy tale set in China, we hope that Freeman and 'Watson' will be reunited there, if not elsewhere.",

        "title": "What To Do when your Computer Crashes - Designers Circle HQ",
        "raw_content": "What To Do when your Computer Crashes\nWhen your Computer crashes it can be devastating especially for people who have valuable data or documents. Many times when I say this to a client they answer with \u201cOh, I don\u2019t have any important data on my computer\u201d until I remind them that they probably have years worth of pictures, hours of music, and maybe even their financial data. I\u2019ve even seen some people hit or shake their computer to try to fix the issue. But of course, we all know that rarely solves the issue; it will probably just make it worse. I recommend not using this method to try to fix the problem.\nOften computer crashes will occur without any prior warning, so it\u2019s wise to backup important documents, photos and other information on regular basis. I recommend using a cloud based backup system such as iDrive, Carbonite, Mozy, etc. These services are free up to 5 gigs and cost around $60 per year for more storage. It\u2019s a good bargain considering recovering data from a bad drive can run $700-$3000. I use iDrive personally as it\u2019s easy to setup and use. Check my website for more information: http://cdatechpros.com/\nDetermining the reason of the crash is usually tough because there are so many factors that could cause a computer to crash. However, technology advancements have created several ways through which crashes can be resolved without the need for an expert computer technician.\nSome simple ways to try to recover your computer are:\nFirst, try to identify the reason for the crash. Computer crashes could occur due to something as unassuming as overheating. However, if your computer shuts down completely, then it might be difficult to identify the reason. Most often, computers start to display symptoms before shutting down. So, when you encounter any sort of freezing problem, you should reboot the computer immediately to identify whether it\u2019s an overheating problem or not.\nComputers will also shut down temporarily due to overheating and re-boot again after the system has cooled. But, be very careful if it\u2019s due to overheating because overheating will cause hardware damage. To avoid overheating, always keep the computer in a room with proper ventilation.\nIf your computer reboots normally, then it might be due to a registry problem (which is the database where a computer stores information about the computer\u2019s configurations). To fix a registry problem, re-boot in the \u201csafe\u201d (holding down the F8 key when starting) mode and use a registry cleaner to clean the system.\nIf you still experience freezing, reboot the system again in the safe mode and then use the system restore (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/features/system-restore) option to restore the computer to a time when the computer was working properly.\nNew software installation can also cause crashes. If you experience such issues right after installing new software, re-boot the system in \u201csafe\u201d mode and uninstall the software. You can also use the system restore option in this situation, too.\nOf course, viruses and malware can cause computer freezing, crashes and even popup messages, as well as rendering your computer unusable. If you continue to encounter such problems, at this point, it would be wise to get assistance from an expert computer technician.\nThese are just some of the simpler ways you should be able to fix the problem if your computer crashes. Thankfully, nowadays you can find a wide range of advanced disaster recovery solutions to fix your computer quickly and before it\u2019s too late.\nAnd you can always call us at 480-270-4232 with your questions. We\u2019ll be glad to let you know what you can do to get you computer back up and running.\nOne thing I found out I would never buy a DELL again.\nThere customer service is the worst in the world. Now just to let you know my computer is 6 mo old and was not and bought it new. My computer said it was battery, DELL sent me a new one, was not battery.\nThey had me send computer back to Texas to see what was wrong with it , over a week with out my computer (only one). Also had to go to Windows store to pay for my back up, When I got it back DELL messed up my key board. I have had more than 30 e mails with DELL\nSo now I have a referb computer\nPLEASE if any one is looking for a computer please see how there customer service is handled\nIt Will be a Great New Year",

He also explained what the lacks are in the current version of APEX and what they have been doing in APEX 4.0 to better support accessibility. Anthony also explained what you need to look for in your own application so screen readers have an easier job e.g. use divs, give meaning full names to regions, pictures, tags etc.\nI'll try to do my best in the applications I write to better support accessibility as I think it's really important and as Anthony said, 15% of the people on the internet are disabled, so don't ignore them...",

I am interviewing Rosa Miller. My name is Carolyn Ellis. Were in Tampa, Florida, and the videographers are Nafa Faalogo and Richard Schmidt.\nToday is February 22, and Im here with Rosa Miller. And Rosa, I was wondering, could you tell us your full name and then spell it for us?\nRosa Miller: My name today is Rosa, R-o-s-a, Miller, M-i-l-l-e-r. I was born Rosa Modiano, M-o-d-i-a-n-o.\nCE: Okay. And the date of your birth?\nRM: I was born on the fourth of December, 1929.\nCE: Okay. And where were you born?\nRM: Salonika, Greece; nowadays the city is better known as Thessalonik.\nCE: Okay. And your age at the moment?\nRM: I am eighty-one.\nCE: Eighty-one. Okay. I would like to start back during your childhood, and have you just tell us what your childhood was like.\nRM: Well, we belonged to the Jewish community of Salonika, which was an essentially Jewish city even though it was in Greece. The Jews in Salonika had come to the Ottoman Empire, actually, because Salonika belonged to the Ottoman Empire until 1912, and they forged a large community. There were about 68,000 to 70,000 Jews in Salonika, out of a population of 250,000, so it was a significant number. And it was a Jewish city, because the port used to close on Saturday because of the Sabbath, and the longshoremen, who were mostly Jewish, did not work on that day. So I was bornit was a very tightly knit community, but it was large, so you had a big choice of friends, if you wanted them. You had a large family, usually, so people remained within their families, but the families were all interrelated anyway, because so many weddings had taken place within the community.\nCE: Were your friends Jewish?\nRM: Yes. Actually, I also had some Italian friends, because, strange to say, I always lived in GreeceSalonika being in Greece since 1912, and I was born in twenty-nine [1929]. My family had an Italian citizenship, which had beenwhich had come down through the ages. They originally left Spain or Portugal, I believe, around 1492 when they were expelled by Ferdinand and Isabella, and they went all over the Mediterranean, the Ottoman Empire being one of the main destinations. The apocryphal story is that the sultan said at that time, in welcoming the Jews who were fleeing Spain, that The King of Spain must be very dumb, because hes denuding his kingdom to enrich mine. Because he knew, with the arrival of the Jews, he would get more commerce, more arts and crafts and more business and travelers and all kinds of people, so he was happy to attract that group that fled Spain.\nCE: Okay. So, tell me about your parents.\nRM: My father was an Italian citizen, because the citizenship was going from father to son, father to son, all the way down; and even though they never lived in Italy, when there was a birth in the family, the baby was registered both in the Salonika civilwhat do you call it? In Salonika mayors office, and in Italy in Livorno, in nowadaysin English its Leghorn.\nCE: Can you spell that?\nRM: Livorno, L-i-v-o-r-n-o, which is a coastal city in Tuscany, in Italy, and supposedly thats where the family started. But there is also a village in Tuscany called Modigliana, and a friend who has done a lot of research on the Modiano family maintains that the g-l was dropped, like the painter Modigliani; it was dropped when the people went out of Italy, because it was very difficult for others, foreigners, to pronounce it. So from Modigliana, it became Modiano. And I visited that little town. We were welcomed by the mayor during a family reunion.\nCE: Wonderful. And what was your fathers name?\nRM: My fathers name was Dario. Actually, his name was David, David, but he was called Dario commonly. Dario Modiano.\nCE: And thats spelled?\nRM: D-a-r-i-o.\nCE: Okay. And your mother?\nRM: My mother, she was a Spanish citizen. Now, thats another little story, apocryphal perhaps. A Spanish diplomat visited Greece at the beginning of the twentieth century, very beginning, and he found a whole community there65,000 peoplestill speaking Spanish after an exile of 400-some years. So he was so impressed that they had kept the languageeven though the language had become a dialect by then, because it had accretions from other languagesso he offered Spanish citizenship to whomever would take it. So my grandfather did, and therefore, my mother when she was born was a Spanish citizen. Oddities, both times, with Italian and Spanish citizenships because I never lived in those other countries.\nCE: It is interesting, yes. And you had a brother?\nRM: I had a brother, who was a very adventurous fellow. Unfortunately, he died when he was thirty-seven, of cancer. So I was mostly an only child.\nCE: So who else lived in the house with you, just the four of you?\nRM: Just my father, my mother, and my brother and I. We had two Greek maids. And thats why, when I was born, I started my language learning in Greek because one of the maids had kind of adopted me; I was hers and nobody elses. So I spoke Greek for the first language, and then I went to an Italian school: it was a government school, an excellent one incidentally. And eventually I went to a Greek school, but at the same time I had a French education because the Alliance Isralite Universelle in Paris had founded schools to teach French culture and French literature throughout the Near and Middle East. They were very good schools, and many of my relatives went to those schools: my mother did, and so did her two sisters. Some people went to the German school and spoke excellent German, alongside with Ladino, which is the dialect that occurred after the Jews had been out of Spain for a long time. So French was the language of literature, of polite peopleof wealthy people, actually, because not everybody could afford to send their kids to French school.\nCE: What language did you typically speak at home?\nRM: French. My parents didnt speak good Greek, because they had never been inthey had never lived in Greece. They were adults when Greece became Greekwhen Salonika, Im sorry, became Greek. So they spoke it with an accent. Not my case, because I was like a native, obviously.\nCE: What kind of work did your father do?\nRM: My father worked for a German company. It was a company that received the German ships that came to the Port of Salonika, which was a very large port anyway. And the name of his employer I still remember, as I used to speak of Mr. Heitman. And Mr. Heitman was a very nice fellowa gentleman, reallyand he trusted my father completely and he left the whole business, the whole office, into his hands. But this came to an end when Hitler came. He wouldnt allow German citizens, God forbid, to have Jewish employees, so my father was let go regretfully by Mr. Heitman, who gave him a very good severance pay. And then after that, he associated himself with his two brothers, and they sold very fine suiting material, English material, for men.\nCE: How do you spell Heitman?\nRM: H-e-i-t-m-a-n.\nCE: Okay. And did your mother work outside the home?\nRM: No.\nCE: Okay.\nRM: Women did not work outside the home at that time. It was a dishonor\nCE: Ah, yes.\nRM: if this happened. Women were ladies of leisure at that time.\nCE: Yes. Sounds wonderful.\nCE: So, would you describe your family as being upper class at the time?\nRM: I wouldnt say upper, but upper middle class, yes.\nCE: Upper middle class, okay.\nCE: And talk a little bit about school.\nRM: Well, I went to an Italian school at first, which had a very different feature. Of course, the teachers came from Italy, and they were very good teachers usually. And then once a week a Catholic priest came to minister to the kids who were Catholic, and at the same time they brought a Jewish woman who taught us our first prayer in Hebrew. I have never heard this in any other school that they would bring somebody of a different religion, but the Italians did. \u00c2 And it was a school where if you were ItalianI have said that beforeyou became a little fascist, you know. You belonged to the childrens organization, you saluted the Duce [Benito Mussolini], and you wished him all the best. You believed in all the songs about Ethiopia because that was the time where Italy wanted to create an empire and attacked Ethiopia, and they used a little ditty that said where the Negus, who was Haile Selassie, the emperor of Ethiopia, the Lion of Judah, With his beard, were going to make brushes to shine the shoes of Mussolini. So, I still remember it.\nCE: Oh, wow. And were you good in school?\nRM: I was the first in everything I attempted. I was first, and I was dumb enough to believe that the letter we wrote to Mussolini every yearthey always told me that mine was chosen to be read by Mussolini, and I was dumb enough to believe it. But mine was the best one, and maybe thats where I started writing well.\nCE: Maybe. Yes, yes. So, you enjoyed school?\nRM: Yes. And we had the adunata, which was the meeting of the little boys and girls in the fascist organization, on Saturday afternoon. We were very happy to go; but our cousins, who were Greek citizens, used to go to the movies on that day, so there was a little bit of ambivalence in attending the organization. But then, of course, we were expelled. When the racial laws started in Italy, we were expelled from the fascist organization as well as from the school, and thats when I went to a Greek school.\nCE: Okay. What year was that?\nRM: What year? I think it was 1939 or forty [1940], around that time.\nCE: Now, up to that point, did you feel any prejudice because you were Jewish?\nRM: No! Not in the Italian school. All those teachers were very nice to us, and we used to invite them to our home and my mother became very friendly with them. No, there was absolutely no inkling of prejudice, and it was only because of Italys alliance with MussoliniI mean, with Hitler. Thats when it happened, when the racial laws started being applied in Italy.\nCE: And what about your religious life at home?\nRM: Well, my brother had a bar mitzvah. I received absolutely nothing as religious instruction. My parents went to services at the synagogue across the street from our home maybe twice a year, for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, and that was the extent of our religious life. We did celebrate Passover with a big Seder. First evening we went to my paternal grandfather and grandmother, and the second evening we went to my maternal grandparents.\nCE: Did you have a strong Jewish identity at the time?\nRM: Well, it was a very strong Jewish identity, but it was nationalistic. It had nothing to do with religion. We felt very Jewish, and intermarriage was frowned upon a lot, you know. You were not supposed to marry outside your religion. My mothersnot sister, cousin, but she considered herself her sister, eloped with a Greek Orthodox guy and they got married, and my grandfather decreed that nobody should talk to her anymore. And my mother, who was a very courageous woman, said, Who says that? Shes my sister and Ill do as I please, and she kept up the relationship. Eventually he was accepted in the family as well, but then they were divorced and she married a Jewish fellow; but thats another story, nothing to do with me.\nCE: Okay. And so, at what point did things change? With the racial laws?\nRM: Yes. You see, we were expelled from the fascist organization. My father used to like to go to the consulate in Salonika, where things took place. I neglected to mention there were about 500 to 700 Italian Jews in Salonika. That was it. And they formed a tightly-knit community, and one of the most aristocratic families in Salonika would belong to that group, the Fernandez family. Its a very Spanish name, so it shows that they came out of Spain originally. And then there was the Morpurgo family. These were the cream of Salonika society, and they lived a wonderful lifestyle. I used to go to the places for birthday parties, because I was classmates with some of the Fernandez kids. The maids there served tea to youngsters like us: we sat at the big table, and the maid had lace and everything, very, very aristocratic. They had a bad fate. Well, eventually I will talk about them later; its not the place for it now.\nSo it was a tightly-knit community, and there was an interchange between the younger generation and the older one. It was a very different thing. The older generation only spoke Ladino. My grandparents used to read a newspaper that was writtenI mean, spelledin Hebrew characters, but when you read it, it was Ladino. So thats the only thing they could read, actually.\nCE: Wow.\nRM: But when my parents generation came, by that time we had the French education, we went to the lyce, the franais and so on. Actually, I didnt go to a French school, but I had a teacher who cameboth my brother and I had a teacher who came twice a week and taught us French spelling and French grammar and vocabulary. Thats how we managed to learn three languages at one time.\nCE: Wow. So, do you remember the first time you felt any kind of prejudice or that you were being treated different?\nRM: Well, you know, its interesting. There was always some prejudice in the Greek community. For example, I hadwhen I went to a Greek school, I had a very good friend, and one time she said, Oh, this is just as noisy as the chabra, which is the synagogue in not polite Greek. In polite Greek its synagog, but in not polite Greek its chabra. And she used the term, and she immediately caught herself and said, Oh, Im so sorry. Im so sorry. But it shows you that there was ingrained some kind of feeling against Jews.\nCE: So, can you tell me any details about when these laws were passed and how it felt?\nRM: The laws were in Italy. We only felt the remote effects of it. My father could not go to the consulate anymore wearing his black shirt, because thats the amounthis activities were limited to attending meetings at the consulate, and it was more a thing to do rather than an obligation, you see, and he couldnt do that anymore. And he had been in the Italian army: he had fought in the First World War. He had been a pilot, of all things, those rickety little planes.\nThere is a picture somewhere; my father standing against one of those cardboard things, and the story went that he crashed against a storefront in one of those. I dont know if its true or not, but that was his reputation. So he was very upset, of course, because he was a fervent Italian, you know, having fought for the country. More than we ever did, my brother and I, because we were subject to a lot of other influences; in my parents generation, it was a limited thing, you see. You didnt have too many opportunities to travel or to do something, and you were very little schooled in politics. They didnt think about politics the way we think now. It was a very clear-cut thing: my politics are Im a Fascist; I go to the consulate in a black shirt, period. Didnt do anything else, you know. They only spoke.\nCE: And then, so, talk about how things started to change for you.\nRM: Well, they started to change when I couldnt go to the Italian school. I went to a Greek school instead, and I wasnt familiar with the system of education in Greek. There was another little girl who was the best one in the class, Lilette Reva. She was a good friend of mine. She was very good, and I decided that I would be just as good because I couldnt stand the fact that I wasnt going to be the first one, (CE laughs) the best one in the class. So I doubled my studying and managed to equal her.\nCE: Oh, wow.\nRM: She eventually went to Mexico with her family, and she recently died.\nCE: Did you keep in touch with her?\nRM: Well, we werent in touch for sixty years, and then through some kind of quirk, we got in touch again, and I saw her when we took a trip to Mexico.\nCE: Oh, wonderful. So, what happened next?\nRM: What happened next is that Italy attacked Greece. You know, Italy wantedwell, Italy wanted an empire; thats why it had gone into Libya, into Ethiopia and North Africa. But they didnt quite succeed. The Italians were not good soldiersI think they were only good for playing music and singing. And Mussolini, he maintained that he had I dont know how many hundreds of thousands of people under arms.\nAnd Greece was a small country, so Mussolini decided that he wanted Greece and he toldhe gave an ultimatum to the Prime Minister of Greecethe King, actually; it was a kingdom at that timeand said, Open your doors. Were going to march into Greece. And the answer was a resounding No! which is ochi in Greek, so that day among Americans is known as Ochi Day, which was the twenty-eighth of October [1940].\nSo Mussolini, having refusedIm sorry. The Greek Prime Minister having refused, Mussolini sent his armies against Greece, and he was stationed in Albania already, which he had occupied years before. So the war started in Albania, not in Italy proper or Greece, because the Greeks advanced into Albania, and strange to say, their forces were much smaller and poorly equipped than the Italians, but they repulsed the Italians for quite a while back into Albania. And that lasted for about aless than a year, if I remember, and then Mussolini, losing the war, asked for Germany to reinforce his army and the Germans started the campaign against Greece. And their tanks, of course, overcame the Greeks very easily: the war lasted maybe a few days, and that was it. The Germans came.\nCE: Prior to the Germans coming in, was your life different other than going to the Greek school?\nRM: No, not in any way. We were more anxious, I guess. News from Europe used to come and be read with a lot of interest because we thoughtwe did not think that it would touch us, actually, in the beginning. But by the time things had taken place, we kind of knew that Greece would be involved, and it was occupied by the Germans, who at first didnt do very much against the Jews. It was strange. I still remember the day they entered Salonika. We were behind the shuttersnobody was out in the streetsand then we saw the first motorcycle drive up; you know, the Germans would. And it was such a feeling, you know. It was a bad feeling, because we knew that nothing good would come out of it.\nCE: So were you and your family together watching from the window?\nRM: Yes. Yes.\nCE: And you couldyou saw?\nRM: Nobody was out. Nobody was walking.\nCE: You felt very anxious? Do you remember?\nRM: Very much so, yes.\nCE: And I guess your parents did as well.\nRM: And then what happened is that the Germans didnt have enough space to house their officers. They had barracks for the soldiers, but not for the officers. So they went from house to house, chose the best room in the house, and told the people that they would house a German officer and that they should give him the liberty of the house. So they did for us, too. They came, and we had a succession of sergeants who stayed in our house. Actually, my mother always told them from the very beginning that we were Jewish, in case they didnt want to associate with us or they wanted to leave, maybe. Nobody, no German, ever reacted to it. That was very strange. And then, we had a Viennese air force officer, a captain, and he was a real gentleman. More about him later, you see, because he is involved in the Holocaust story. But he was a very nice human being, and had nothing against Jews.\nCE: Did you have to feed these people?\nRM: No. We just had to have bathroom facilities.\nCE: Okay, so they went somewhere else to eat.\nRM: They went to their mess or whatever, yes.\nCE: Okay. Was your day-to-day living, then, interrupted very much?\nRM: Not very much, because they were away during the day. They were very polite, you know: it was a presence that you saw in the house, but you didnt feel it was bad. They didnt make it known that they were anti-Semitic, even if they were. So, we did all right.\nCE: So you were okay with it, as a child?\nRM: Yes, that was fine. And eventually they told those officers they couldnt stay in Jewish residences, so he left; this particular gentleman left. But he had done something unbelievable before he left. Well talk about that with the Holocaust.\nCE: Okay. So you have these soldiers staying in your house, and then what happens?\nRM: Well, in the beginning the Germans didnt do very much. I guess maybe they didnt want to raise doubts about the fate of the people, or maybe rebellion. Who knows? They decreed, for example, that people should give up their radios. Everybody had to do it, Italian Jews or Greek Jews. They had to give up their bicycles.\nCE: Just the Jews?\nRM: Yes. No, the radio was a common thing for the whole population. Bicycles they took from the Jews, you see; then they took over their business. They couldnt go to work in the morning, they had to stay home. Thats when they had moved the Jews into a ghetto.\nCE: All right. So, lets talk about the ghetto.\nRM: Yeah. The ghetto wasthey delineated a part of the city where everybody had to move into. Now, it just so happened that the house where we lived was within the ghetto. But we, as Italians, did not have to move; even if we had lived outside the ghetto, we would have stayed. But my mothers relativestwo sisters, their familiesthey all moved in.\nCE: Because they were married to Greek men right?\nRM: Yeah. They had been Spanish before because of my grandfather. When they married Greek citizens, they became Greek.\nCE: Now, if they had been Spanish still, would they have been exempt?\nRM: Yeah. Its a whole other story, you know, about the Holocaust thats not well known. Anyway, so everybody moved into the ghetto and it was very crowded, you see, because you were moving at least half of the Jewish population in a tiny enclave. So life became very difficult in the ghetto. I could go back and forth out and in without any problem. I had an Italian ID card. And you know, as a child, I guess I was ambivalent. I was so happy that I could do that. Somehow, I was allowed to do that when my cousins could not do it. At the same time, I was very upset about it, because why did they make an exception for us? I couldnt understand, you see, and I wanted to be like my cousins. I didnt wear a yellow star, never did. The consulate said the Germans could not impose anything on us, even though they were allies, you see. But its very interesting, the way it happened.\nCE: It is yeah. Did people move into your house, other people?\nRM: No, no. My mothers sister moved into my grandparents house; there was space. No, nobody moved with us.\nCE: Do you remember how you felt at that point about what was going on?\nRM: Yeah, as I told you, I was ambivalent. On the one hand, I thought I was very important because I didnt have to abide by those measures; on the other hand, I was questioning why they and not me.\nCE: Okay. So now youre in the ghetto, and youre able to go in and out but other people are not.\nRM: Yes, thats right. Theyre not allowed.\nCE: And talk a little bit more about the conditions.\nRM: Conditions in the ghetto were pretty bad, you know, because people were living five to a room or something, more than that. The medical facilities were not that good, although there was a very large hospitalwell, not very large by todays standards; a large hospital that had been founded by the Baron [Maurice de] Hirsch, and he was a very fabled Jewish man who contributed a lot to communities, to Jewish communities. So the hospital, he had financed it, and it bore his name. That was the only place they could go for medical treatment, and its not easy to serve a large population from a rather small hospital, so health conditions were pretty bad. And starving occurred, because you couldnt go out and buy anything. You had to live on the resources, and of course the black market took off like anything. My parents used to pay the price, because we ourselves were suffering, even the Italians, because conditions were the same for everybody. So we tried to help them as much as we could by buying things outside. And, I must say, the German officer who stayed with us used to go hunting and bring us back what he killed, and we would have a festive meal after that.\nCE: Which officer was this?\nRM: The Austrian.\nCE: The Austrian.\nRM: I might as well tell you about him.\nCE: Okay, go ahead.\nRM: You see, his name was Otto Wengersky. I remember very clearly.\nCE: Can you spell his last name?\nRM: Yeah. W-e-n-g-e-r-s-k-y. Otto, O-t-t-o. He had become accustomed to our family, and he loved to stay with us in the evening and talk. My father spoke excellent German, because he was employed by a German company. My mother had a few words of German, but she managed to learn quickly. And he befriended us. He would bring us food: bread from his mess; sugar, which wasyou couldnt find it for love or money. He was very helpful. But then he had to move, because no German should stay in Jewish residences.\nSo he came back at night sometimes to find out how we were, what we were doing, and then he came one night particularly. The Jews were already in the ghetto; there had been measures against them and so on. And he said, Tell your family to leave, to leave Salonika. Well, why should they leave Salonika? Because Athens, which was in the southern part of Greece, was occupied by the Italians, so you could cross the line of demarcation and be in Italian territorynot that it was easy, and it was fraught with danger. You could getyou could be seen as a Jew, recognized as a Jews. So he told us, Tell your family to go to Athens. They will be safe there. I just overheard today some SS officers who came to Salonika, and they were discussing the deportation of all of the Jews, and one even asked how many horses can you put in awhat do you call it? A rail car.\nCE: Yeah.\nRM: And they said, Forty, so well put fiftywell put eighty, he said. So he reported all of this to my parents. He said, You wont have to worry, because youll be protected by the Italians. But tell your family to leave. They did not. Only two cousins did, and they survived and everybody else died.\nCE: And what reasons did they give for not leaving?\nRM: You know, I didnt take part in discussionsI was too young. But it seems to me that one reason would be, suppose somebody comes in here and says, Tomorrow morning youre leaving with just one bag in your hand. Its not easy to do that.\nCE: No, it isnt.\nRM: And also, it was dangerous to cross the lines. Older people could not do it anyway, you see, and there were a lot of older people in the family. Disbelief, like an uncle, a very nice older man, said to my mother, What are they going to do to us? They will deport us, they will put us in a camp and well sweep the streets, and well survive and come back after the war. That was a very common belief. They never could have believed that they would meet death just as they arrived.\nCE: Now, is your father still working at this point?\nCE: No, okay.\nRM: By that time, nothing worked right anymore, you see. They could, if they wanted to, but nobody was buying anything. I maintain that I have bad toes because I couldnt buy new shoes and my feet were growing.\nCE: Yeah. So, a little bit more about the conditions in the ghetto at this point?\nRM: It was crowded, thats the main thing.\nCE: And people were starving.\nRM: But you know, at least they were all Jews. Its a funny feeling. You didnt have to worry anymore about somebody rejecting you. All your neighbors, all your friends were right there. But it was a small area, and it created a lot of difficulties. Of course, when they moved they couldnt bring all their furniture; it was abandoned in the homes, like many other things.\nCE: Were there people dying on the street?\nRM: I saw some in Athens later on. I didnt see anybody in Salonika, probably because I was more sheltered in Salonika. When we got to Athens I was taking care of family affairs and I was out.\nCE: So in Salonika in the ghetto, people werent going in and out unless they were Italian?\nRM: Yes. If you wore a yellow star, you couldnt go in and out. And remember, there were also Greek police and Jewish policemen as welltraitors, you know, who collaborated with the Germans.\nCE: So they had to depend on somebody like you bringing food in?\nRM: In Athens, yes.\nCE: Im thinking still in Salonika.\nRM: No, no, no. My parents were at perfect liberty to do anything they wanted.\nCE: Yes, but I mean other people in the ghetto.\nRM: Oh. Yes, they couldnt. They lacked everything.\nCE: Thats really hard.\nRM: You could only live on the resources that you had within the ghetto. Black market, of course, took care of some of it, but sums were enormous for flour, and there were no ovens in the homes; you had to send it to a communal oven. That had been the case before the war during the occupation, and even after the war it continued in Greece.\nCE: There were no ovens.\nRM: No ovens, so you prepared the plate uncooked and you go to the local bakery and you entrust it to the baker, who would bake it or roast it or whatever for you. You saw the maids coming back home with their big burden, covered with paper. Usually it was a lamb roast and potatoes.\nCE: Oh, so for each meal you had to go to the oven.\nRM: Yeah. Well, not everything was baked.\nCE: Yes, okay.\nRM: They had developed a lot of recipes that just needed boiling or whatever.\nCE: Thats interesting.\nRM: And remember that we cooked with charcoal when I was a child, I remember, until I was twelve oruntil we were in Salonika, before moving to Athens, we used charcoal for fuel. There was a delivery of charcoal every month or so: it was put in a closet under the counter and the whole kitchen was full of charcoal dust, but it was a ritual that everybody did without protesting.\nCE: Thats interesting. I dont remember seeing anything about this in your other writing.\nRM: No, no, no. And then in Athens, we still used charcoal in a smalllike a little contraption here, which we called foufou, because you had to blow on it. (demonstrates) You know, for the charcoal to light up. So it was called the foufou, and that was the only way we could cook.\nCE: Do you remember any specific details about your family helping other people during that time?\nRM: There might have been. The main thing was what my mother did, thats what I remember very well. You see, the Germans had decreed that if you were caught crossing the lines of demarcation between German occupation territory and the Italians in the south, you were executed immediately. Of course, you had to pay a Greek guy, Greek Orthodox guy, to take you through the lines, because it was very mountainous terrain and people didnt know the way, obviously. So you had to payI dont remember how much. But the Italian consulate had told Italian citizens not to take any money or jewelry from other Jews for safekeeping, because it was punishable by imprisonment or death or whatever.\nSo my father wouldnt take anything from anybody, but my mother, who was more tenderhearted, had the visit of a friend who said, I have twenty English gold pounds, and I have to give them to the man who will take me through the lines. But I cant take the money with me because I dont know that I will get to Athens. When I call you from Athens, you can give the money to him. And my mother agreed, against reason and against better judgment. She felt that she had to help a friend who wanted to escape. Well, the guy was caught when he was crossing the line, and the Germans beatI mean, not the Germans; it was the Greek collaborators beat him to a pulp. And he said that he had given twenty gold pounds to Dario Modiano. He didnt say Lily, my mothers name. So my father eventually was arrested and so on. But that was something my mother did, which didnt turn out good for us. But people tried to help each other.\nCE: Okay. So, what happens then? Youre living in the ghetto area.\nRM: Were living in the ghetto. Neighborhood by neighborhood, people are being deported. And that was when I saw the French movie I told you about recently, La Rafle, because it was exactly the same. I left the movie crying. I went through it. I saw it happen. It was harrowing. They would start coming on motorcycles, the Germans, and trucks, and they would empty out in each street and they would go throughout the houses and [say] Raus! Raus! meaning Out, out! And they had dogs barking, and lights to light, because it was dark; it was like two oclock in the morning. And they rounded up the people. They didnt put them in trucks; they had them walk to the train station from where they would be deported to Auschwitz, and other places, too. And neighborhood by neighborhood, Salonikas ghetto was being emptied, because they would block one part of it and get everybody out and put them in the trains to send them away, and the next day, after two or three days, it would be another neighborhood. And that was harrowing, because you saw the thing happening right in front of you.\nAnd then the turn of our neighborhood came. That was terrible. We couldnt be open and watching, you know, because we had to be protected from the Germans coming in. We had a little piece of paper on the door from the Italian consulate, which said that we were Italian citizens and not to touch us. But you know, any German could have taken it out and walked in. They didnt. They respected it. They didnt come into our apartment. We had three floors, three different families. They took the ones from above and below us and left us alone.\nRM: And then you had to contend with a neighborhood where there was no life. You walked out in the streets: empty. Houses: empty. Everything, it didnt exist anymore. It had just, like, disappeared in an instant after the people left, because after they left the Germans came and then the Greeks came and took everything that could be used from those houses, which you had left open, like walking out this door, you know, and leaving everything behind.\nCE: Were there other families left at that point, besides your family?\nRM: Yes, the Italians, the families that were Italians. And the other ones, some had escaped into Athens and most of them had stayed. They were taken away. I remember in our yard, there was a little old house that was built there for the owners nursemaid. Two old people, an old couple, and they couldnt walk, they couldnt do anything. He was bent over. And they were walking; they were leaving at the same time as the others, and they couldnt walk. I bet they died soon thereafter.\nCE: That just sounds so horrible.\nRM: Yeah. You know, its one thing to talk about it; its another thing to experience it in the flesh. I mean, how could this thing happen? Its like if this whole Harbour Island is blocked by policemen and they order you to leave.\nCE: Do you know what they were telling the people about where they were going?\nRM: Well, Poland. You see, people thought they were going to Poland, which of course was right: Auschwitz was in Poland. They didnt know Auschwitz then; nobody knew the word. But they knew they were going to Poland, and they wantedactually, they had taken a lot of heavy clothes with them, because they knew that its going to be cold where theyre going. They didnt know that they wouldnt experience cold or hot, nothing.\nCE: Did they take a lot of things with them? Were they able to?\nRM: Yes, a bag, and they put [on] three sweaters, you know, so to carry more. Of course, it didnt help them at all, because those belongings were abandoned upon arrival.\nRM: You know, Ill tell you something: My mother was helping her sisters, who were subject to deportation, you see. She helped them putin the buttons, put diamonds inside the button. People used to go to the dentist, who would put gold under their teeth, you see, because they thought that that way theyll sell the jewels, they will sell the gold, and survive. They went to the heap upon arrival, and they had a special commando that searched the clothes for such items.\nCE: And they pulled their teeth, too, right?\nRM: Yeah. Right.\nCE: So youre left in Salonika?\nRM: Yeah. Well, were alone, nobody from our family except my maternal grandparents. Now, let me tell you the story of the Spanish Jews, some who had taken on the citizenship. They stayed in Salonika even after we left as Italians. We had been given the choice, go to Italy or go to Athens, so we chose Athens. So the Spanish Jews remained in Salonika. It was my grandparents and my uncle, his wife, and two girlsand others in the community, about 400 people. One day they received the order to gather in the synagogue, which they did, and from there they were takenoh, Im sorry, I have to mention that there was a Spanish consul in Salonika who tried to protect the Spanish Jews. He wasnt very successful, because they deported those Jews to Bergen-Belsen. Now, Bergen-Belsen was not a death camp like Auschwitz; it was terrible, but they didnt kill people there, they didnt gas them.\nSo they took the Spanish Jews to Bergen-Belsen, where they were imprisoned for six months or a year, I dont remember. And then the American Joint Distribution Committee intervened, and they tried to persuade the Spanish government to ask that those Jews be freed and bring them to Spain. Well, Franco did, at that time. He didnt like the Jews himself very much, you knowhe was a rightist, as you rememberbut he allowed those Jews to come to Spain, to be taken by train through France and into Spain. But he didnt want them to stay there.\nSo the odyssey of these Jews was that they went from Salonika to Bergen-Belsen. After a while they were taken out of Bergen-Belsen, traveled through France, which was occupied, into Spain, where they stayed for a few weeks until they could recover, because they had suffered a lot in the camps. And they took them to Casablanca; the British took over the protection, so they put them in the displaced peoples camp in Casablanca, and eventually they took them to Palestine. Not Israel; there was no Israel at that time. They arrived in Palestine, so they had done a whole round trip, and after the war finished they came back to Greece.\nCE: They did?\nCE: Okay. So, now what happens to your family?\nRM: Well, we went to Athens, because we had a choice. That Fernandez family came to my parents and said, Lets all go to Italy. We will be safe there. My parents decided no, they wanted to be in Athens. So he and his family left, wife and three children, and they went to a small resort area in the northern part of Italy near Lake Maggiore and they thought they would be safe. But they were betrayed, and the Gestapo found them and arrested them, shot them on the spot, and threw their bodies in the lake.\nCE: Who betrayed them? Do you know? You dont know?\nRM: I dont know.\nCE: Okay. And your family went to Athens.\nRM: We went to Athens, wheremy fathers two brothers were already in Athens. So we joined them there. But we had a whole odyssey for that, as well. You remember that my mother had gotten the twenty pounds from the friend.\nCE: Right, right.\nRM: What happened is that the friend gave my fathers name. So the day that we were leaving on an Italian military train for Athens from Salonika, the train would not leave. We waited and waited. It was my grandfathermy grandmother was already in Athensmy father, my mother, and the two children. And the train wasnt leaving. Then they decreed that all the men should get out from the train and line up on the quay.\nCE: So you didnt know what was going on?\nRM: No. And then we saw Dr. [Max] Mertenhe was the Nazi in charge of the slaughter of the Jews in Salonikaaccompanied by the very infamous Jewish traitor. So he started going over, looking at every man in the line, and he got to my father and he said, You. Out.\nCE: He was the first one he had pulled out?\nRM: Yeah. He didnt pull out anybody else. He said, Now the train can leave. (CE gasps) Well, my mother wanted to stay because she wanted to be with my father. So the Germans said, Youre doing it at your own risk and peril, if you want to stay. Youre free to go, but if you want to stay, you have to know that its notits fraught with danger, in other words. But she decided to stay anyway.\nSo my father was put in a Gestapo jail. He was not tortured, he was not beaten, but he was really terrorized. My mother used to take food to him every day, and it was a prison that was high up in the city. She had to walk a lot; there were no taxis, no transportation. But the Germans were very respectful of my mother. She was really surprised. They would call her Abgeordnete Frau, meaning honorable lady. Anyway, it took a while, but through the Italian consul, who was an excellent manPietro Zamboni was his namethe Germans finally allowed my father to leave, because the Italians had argued there is an Italian court in Athens. This is an Italian citizen. We should try him in an Italian court, not a German court. So they put him on a train with my mother, with two carabinieri with the big hats, and his hands in chains, and he was put in an Italian military prison in Athens, from which he was released a couple of weeks later because an Italian judge decreed its not a crime in Italy to keep money for friends.\nCE: Oh, okay. Good, good.\nRM: So they joined us in Athens, and thats another kind of story.\nCE: One more question, and then well stop for now. Im just amazed that your mother stayed there.\nRM: She was a very courageous woman.\nCE: And how she was able to get food for him every day and get it to him.\nRM: I know. She was always like this. My father was not a very strong guy, but my mother had a very strong will.\nCE: Okay. Well, I think well stop, and then when we start next time\nRM: Its in Athens.\nCE: Well start in Athens.\nRM: Salonika now is in the background.\nCE: Okay, good.\nRM: We left Salonika, and there were no Jews practically. Some Jews did hide in Salonika, but it was very difficult because they could be recognized very easily. They really would have been totally isolated if they had stayed, but some did, and succeeded in hiding.\nCE: Were the local people helpful?\nRM: No. No, no. As a matter of fact, after the whole thing finished, my mother went back to Salonika to sell the few things that she had left behind, and a Greek guy came and he wanted to buy something. She said no, the price was too low, and he said, Ah, they should have made soap out of you like they did with your others.\nCE: Oh!\nRM: Yeah. There was anti-Semitism in Salonika because there had been so many Jews, you see. If there are some Jews, say a hundred, theres no anti-Semitism; but when there are thousands and thousands\nCE: Okay. Thank you.\nRM: Youre welcome.\nCE: Were with Rosa Miller, and this is tape two. When we ended the last tape, you had just arrived in Athens. So, lets start with your arrival in Athens. Your father and mother are still back in Salonika. Tell me your experience.\nRM: Well, we were traveling with my grandfather. He only spoke Ladino, but he was an Italian citizen. But my brother and I had fun. Obviously, we were worried about my father having stayed, but this was such a new experience for us: to be on a train, to be on an Italian military train with a nice Italian soldier singing love songs, you know Firenze stanotte, sei bella in un manto di stelle.\nRosa is singing the song Firenze Sogna.\nSo it did something to us. We had been oppressed, you know, for so long in Salonika. That was kind of a relief for us.\nSo we traveled day and night, and it was dangerous in those years because the partisansmostly communist partisanshad gone up to the very high mountains of Greece and were fighting against the Germansnot real fight, it wasnt a battle that they gave, but they would launch something against them. Im looking for the word. And they wouldwell, anyway, they would try to prevent the movement of the German armies. So I was looking at those mountains as we were traveling, and I had heard of the partisans there, so I was worried that we might have a bomb on the train or whatever.\nAnyway, we arrived, and we had our two uncles and my grandmother already in Athens living in an apartment. We necessarily joined them in that apartment, so it was kind of crowded for a while. But my uncle had a very nice Greek Orthodox girlfriend who came from an excellent family, and she helped us a lot, you know, because my parentsmy mother wasnt there, so she tried to substitute for her. We even found that the Greek they spoke in Athens was a little bit different than the Greek we had spoken in Salonika. The pronunciation was a little bit different. For example, instead of zesti, we said zesta, you know, and so on. So we were new to Athens, but we loved it right away because it was so different from Salonika. The city was wider, and with Italian administration you didnt suffer like you did in Salonika. So we liked it right away, and we were well taken care of, and then eventually my parents arrived and my father was freed from the Italian military jail.\nWe rented an apartment, a furnished apartment, from another Jewish guy. And we stayed there three months, during which it was like old timesexcept that we didnt have the family, of course, but otherwise we went, we did, we went to the movies. You couldnt eat outthere were no restaurantsbut at least you had some entertainment. You were free. You didnt have to give any account to anybody, and especially we, as Italians, were privileged, you see. Anyway, we\nCE: Was this true for all the Jews there?\nRM: Yes. Yes, pretty much so. The Italians never did anything against the Jews. They didnt adopt any racial laws, absolutely nothing. It was like you were in Greece, except that it was an army of occupation, you see, the Italians. But compared to the Germans, they were easy, really easy. So three months of that, and we enjoyed it fully, and then Italy made a separate peace with the Allies. And that was determining for us, because there was no more Italian consulate or Italian administrator who would do something for us, who could help us, nothing. We had to count on ourselves. Thank goodness we had an excellent Greek Orthodox friend. He had worked in Salonika; he was from the part of Greece that reverted to Bulgaria for a while, and the name was Didymoteicho; its very difficult name.\nCE: Can you spell it for us?\nRM: Yeah. D-i-d-y-m-o-t-e-i-k-h-o.\nCE: Okay. Thats a very difficult one.\nRM: Didymoteno, t-e-i-c-h-o. Yeah.\nRM: Yeah. Thats it. So anyway, they made fun of him because he came from kind of a village in that, but he was a very sophisticated guy. And from him I learned two principles of good dressing. He said that linen is never so elegant as when its creased, and that Burberry is never so elegant as when its dirty. (both laugh) So he was that kind of a guy, you know, and he was an excellent friend to us. So when the time came, we had to find a hiding place. He was at firstIll tell you, at first we wentwe had a Greek maid, and she said, Why dont you come to my house? Im there with my husband, and its a very lonely location and nobody will see that you are there, so why dont you come? We did, my mother and I, because in the meantime the partisans had taken the men in the family and led them to a village very high in the mountains. Germans didnt hazard to go there because they were afraid to be ambushed. So they went on that.\nYou see, there was a good reason why we should separate. We couldnt remain as a family all together, and women staying at home, even if they are seen staying at homewell, that was the fate of the women anyway, to cook and to clean and so on. But if somebody happened to see grown men staying at home and not going anywhere and never going out, you become suspicious. So, we separated, and he foundwell, we went into this maids home. Our only entertainment in a one-room house was to go to bed at night and start discussing the bedbugs crawling down. (laughs)\nCE: Oh, my!\nRM: Yeah. That wasand there was no bathroom, you know. We used to use a chamber pot, and the maid would go and throw it in the fields.\nCE: Oh, my. You had separate bedrooms?\nRM: It was a one-room house.\nCE: Just one room total?\nRM: The maid and her husband slept in the kitchen, and my mother and I occupied the room with a double bed, and thats where we lived. We didnt go out. It was quite far from the city, you see, from any inkling of civilization. And we had mice at night, of course, besides the bedbugs. So we didnt last more than two weeks, and we begged our friend to find us another place, which he did. A very nice family: they were Greeks from Istanbul. And the husband worked; the wife was some kind of a seamstress; and their mother, Marika, lived with them. We found a very congenial place, because they were very nice people.\nIts interesting. One of the children to whom I was speaking at the Holocaust Museum said one day, What did you do for entertainment? (both laugh) Well, we werent really entertained, but I could go out, you see, freely, because nobody would recognize me. I spoke excellent Greek, you know. I was just like anybody else, and nobody could look at me and say, Oh, this is Rosa Modiano; you see, I was too young.\nSo we gave Yorvusthat was the name of our saviorany money that we had. You see, banks did not do very good business in Greece, because the moment people acquired money they changed it into gold and put it away. So we could rely on some resources that my parents had, gold that they had sold and gotten the money for it, and we entrusted it to this friend. Every week I would go by his office, and he would take a piece of gold, send one of his employees to the Wall Street of Athens, and cash the money and give it to us to live for another week: to pay the rent and to live for another week. Thats how we spent about one year, with these people.\nCE: For a year.\nRM: They were wonderful people. And hethe husband had been able to take the radio, which had been branched only on Athensit had been sealed at the police station by the order of the Germans, so you couldnt listen to any other broadcast from anyplace else. It was just Radio Athens, which of course was controlled by the Germans. So I would go and he would give me some of the drachmas that he got from the gold and wed live for another week and wed live for another week, until we were liberated. But we had to leave there.\nThey were very nice people. He had been able to fix the radio, so at night we closed all the curtains very tightly, and all the windows, and we listened to the BBC, the news of the war on the BBC. That was fantastic. But they used codes, and it was so mysterious. The moon jumps over; the weather is very good this week, and we knew it was code for something important, you see. It was just wonderful, just to hear this without knowing what was going on. Another entertainment that we had was hearing the Flying Fortressesthat was the plane in World War IIfly over Greece on a mission elsewhere, because they didnt bomb Greece. We knew they were going to be our liberators, you see, eventually.\nSo we left there because one day, two young men, Greeks, came into the house. They pushed past my mother, who had opened the door, and went into the room that we were occupying. One took a gun and put it on the table. And for one hour, for the better part of an hour, they were grilling us. My mother from the beginning, when they said, Youre Jewish? She said, Yes, were Jewish. You want to go to the Germans? [RMs mother said] No. Okay, I have a little bit of money; would you like this money not to give us away? No. I have a watch thats worth something; do you want? No. What do you need, what do you want? They never really said anything. And they left after an hour, leaving us there, obviously, in bad shape. The women in the family had not heard anything that was happening. They were in the kitchen in the back and we were in the front of the house. They left by saying, Dont leave here, because well come back for you tomorrow, which is a strange thing to do, you know.\nTo this day, we have no idea what happened and how we were let go by these two young men. The only thing that we could surmise is that another couple used to come to play cards with them, and they saw that they were affording a little bit more food because we were paying them rent, and they became jealous and they tried to frighten us so that we could leave.\nCE: Oh, maybe.\nRM: Maybe. I have no idea; it was not something that was ever explainable to me. Whatever. But of course, we had to leave.\nCE: Before you leave, tell me what was a day like?\nRM: A day? I would go out in the morning, for example, and come back. There wasnt very much that I could buy. We used beet tops for spinach; beets were abundant. You know, theyre so expensive in this country; theyre the cheapest vegetable in Greece, practically. And we would cook, and it wasnt easy to cook, you see, because it was only that little contraption with charcoal, and we had to cook our food and they had to cook their food. Sometimes we used to eat the same thing, but normally my mother would cook for her and me what I would manage to buy when I went out.\nNow, my mother went to a movie a couple of timeswith trepidation, I should say, because she was so afraid of being recognized. And we usually saw German movies, obviously; thats the only thing they brought to Greece. I had liked one song so much that I learned how to pronounce it and sing it without knowing what it meant. Ich brauche keine Millionen, I dont need any millions, and so on and so forth. My grandparents were also in Athens, hiding in a section of the city that was kind of far from where we were.\nNow, theres something very funny that Im going to tell you, not to take away any of the gravity of the situation, but it was funny when it happened. They were hiding on the first floor of a house with two floors. A Russiana White Russian woman lived on the second floor. It was in a suburb kind of far away from Athens, from main Athens, and we had to take buses to get there to them. We did it once in a while, and my mother affected what some of the Greek women did at the time: in order not to get the sun on their face, they would take a gauze scarf and put it on their face like this. Nobody could see who it was behind that, so my mother used the stratagem. We visited our grandparentsher in-lawsthat way.\nThere was an older lady who was sister to my grandfathera very stolid lady, I rememberand her name was Tia, which is aunt, Gracia, G-r-a-c-i-a. And Tia Gracia was very deaf. So when she said something, it was heard, really, and the place was right on the street, so anybody who would go by, if they heard that kind of an accent, that kind of word, they knew it was Jewish and they could very well go and betray them. \u00c2 So every time she would say something, my grandparents would jump on her. Shh! Shh! Dont talk, dont talk! They will be hearing us. Okay, so she sighed, (sighs) and theres Shh! Dont talk, dont talk! So one day, finally she said to them, Do you mean to say the Germans will find out were Jews on farts and sighs? (CE laughs) Because thats what she used to do, you know, pass gas.\nCE: Yes, yes.\nRM: Is it any different for Jews than it is for Greeks?\nAnyway, so when we had to leave, that was the only refuge we could find, because you couldnt go to a hotel, obviously; you were in hiding. You couldnt go anywhere, because there was a curfew, so it was very dangerous. So we decided to go to them, even though it was far away. We traversed Athensthank goodness nothing happenedand we got to the house. The Russian woman from upstairs was very kind. She gave us a mattress to put down on the floor to sleep at night. We stayed two or three days. There was a German barracks on the other side of the street, and you know how we were afraid of being found out. But nothing happened, and our friend found us another place, a young woman who needed the money, and she had a much better house than my grandparents were staying in. She was very nice, educated young lady. So we stayed there for a few months, and then finally the Brits came, finally.\nCE: Now, did you continue your education?\nRM: Well, it was interrupted, obviously. So when I went back to Greek school, I was two years older than my classmates. That was not good, because again I was the best one in the class, you know, and the other ones would contend I was because I was older by two years.\nCE: Right, right, right. Did you read books while you were in hiding?\nRM: Yes. As a matter of fact, that was a main feature. There was a lending library in downtown Athens, and the guy who owned it was an intellectual with a beard and long hair, which was not common in Greece at the time. Soukalas was the name, and he had the lending library. I would go by there and borrow books and take them back and take the other ones. He never said anything to me. I mean, we talked; he recognized me, we talked. Only after the war, he said, You know, we knew you were Jewish, but we didnt say anything.\nCE: Did he know your name at that pointor you used another name then.\nRM: Of course. Yeah. The name I usedwe had false ID papers, you know, that you had paid a police administrator to get. My name was Marianthi Ni Kolaidhou, which sounds very Greek, of course, and I had to get accustomed to the fact that if they said Marianthi, I should answer, you know. But thank goodness, we didnt have too many people with whom to do it, so it didnt make any difference.\nCE: How did you and your mother do, being together all this time?\nRM: We became very close.\nCE: You did?\nRM: Very, very close. And later on, when I fell in love with a Greek Orthodox guy, she didnt understand the idea of my marrying him, not in the least. Im just as happy that she did, because that way I met my husband. Going back to a normal existence was kind of difficult, you see. We had lived in that threatened state for so long thatwell, first of all, it was like a new world, that you could go out and not worry about being recognized, that you could go out and go to a restaurant if you liked. We had not become accustomed to those things; actually, we had lost the habit by being in a place, hiding in a place, although the hiding was not like Anne Franks, for example, where they never went out, they were in a secret part. We were like guests in a house where we paid rent.\nCE: But your mother never went, or rarely went out.\nRM: Rarely, rarely. I did at will, you know, because I was okay. The two young men never came back. I dont know why. Its very difficult to explain why.\nCE: So any other close calls?\nRM: No, that was the only one. Of course, they had a difficult time up in the village, the men in the family. There was no foodit was a very poor villageand people used to farm. What did my parents know about farming or anything? They just lived there. There was no newspaper, no books, no nothing. Eventually my uncles girlfriend went to take care of them; that was heroic on her part, because here you had four men to take care of and wash and cook and do things for them. But she was very nice.\nCE: Do you remember the day of liberation?\nRM: The date I dont remember, but I remember the\nCE: Would you remember that day?\nRM: Yes. We all went downtown; we went out, you see, to see the Brits come in. And it was like Is this finished? Is this nightmare gone by now? And of course, pretty soon after that, we had the communist revolution in Greece. They becamethey were communists, and they took over, and of course they had all those partisans with weapons that had been provided to them by the Brits and the Americans; they were very well armed. So Athens waswell, part of Athens was in the hands of the partisans, and part of Athens under the Brits.\nCE: And what impact did that have on you?\nRM: Well, you know, it was a civil war that was happening, and it was happening right in Athens. There was no food, nothing. You couldnt buy anything. Everything was closed. Its like its happening today, I guess, in Libya or whatever, only people were not protesting at that time.\nThen there was the news one day that the synagogue was distributing some food, some flour. So we decided to go: my mother stayed home, my brother, myself, and my father went. And you know, we had to cross streets where they were shooting from both sides, so we had to take protection behind the wall and wait until the shooting was over and continue. It was a long way to the synagogue; it wasnt next door. So we managed to get something, because they would distribute some flour and some sugar, so we managed to bring it back home. And when you baked bread, you didnt bake it, you prepared it and it went to the bakery, if you remember. There was a partisan, a communist guy, right there at the counter, so when you would pay for the baking of the bread he would cut a big piece of your bread and say, Thats for the heroic ELAS. ELAS [Greek Peoples Liberation Army] was the organization, the communist organization.\nRM: So you had to say yes, because they were in power.\nCE: So liberation, then your father and brother came back?\nRM: They returned. They returned.\nCE: And you hadnt seen them for quite a while.\nRM: A year and a half.\nCE: A year and a half, okay.\nRM: They were returning back to nothing. We had no possessions anymore.\nCE: Did you still have some money?\nRM: A little bit.\nCE: A little bit.\nRM: A little bit to start, but it wasnt much, you see. And we remained at that young ladys house quite a while, where we had just one room because we couldnt afford anything else. Eventually we gotI dont know where they got the money. I really didnt care much at that point. I dont know, maybe they had some reserves that they had given to a friend, Im not quite sure. But it was a while before my father started working again. And interestingly enough, they received letters from the German company who would like for them to resume their post.\nRM: Yeah. They wanted to show that they were not the bad Germans.\nCE: Uh-huh. And so you continued living in Athens.\nRM: Yes, we never went back. There was no reason for us to go back. Other people had a lot of real estate property; we never did.\nCE: You didnt own your house?\nCE: You didnt.\nRM: No, we rented. My parents always rented. Many people did that, you know; it was the thing to do, rather than live in your own place. You rented the property and you paid for your own rent.\nCE: But you lost all your possessions.\nRM: Absolutely. My mother went back and gathered whatever she could. A maid that had worked for us in Salonika had kept some things together, but that was it. It was a new beginning in a new city in a new school.\nCE: Yes. But not long after liberation, you had the problems with the civil war.\nRM: Oh, just six to seven weeks.\nCE: Wow!\nRM: A couple of months we had the problems of the uprising, and it was fighting, real fighting, you know. We used to hear about it. And they damaged the Acropolis.\nCE: Did you fear at that point that this is going to be just as bad?\nRM: Yes, yes, that the communists would prevail. Sure. And it was only through the massive aid that the U.S. started pouring into Greece that we could be saved. It was through a program called Point Four, because it was the fourth point in a speech by President Truman, to help Greece and Turkey to recover their previous status.\nCE: So you started going back to school in Greece?\nRM: I went back to school, where, as I said, I made the best grades. I was the one who wrote the best things. And Ill tell you, the funny thing was the school was owned by an old maid, a very typically aristocratic Greek lady who was swathed in black all the time, you see. They never called you in school by your first name; it was always Modiano. So I became the best writer in my class and in the school, and the Minister of Education decreed a competition one time, Greece enlightens the rest of the world. I wrote the paper, and I was the one who won the competition in all of Athens. That Greek old maid, the director of the school, was so upset that her good Greek Orthodox girls couldnt write something, the Jewish girl did! (both laugh)\nCE: Good, good. So did youIm wondering about, like, having boyfriends and not having boyfriends.\nRM: Oh, that was totally out.\nCE: And how old were you at this point?\nRM: Well, about fifteen or sixteen.\nCE: Fifteen, so ordinarily\nRM: Dates? My goodness. You got punished if you did. And if you did, you had to do it secretly. So it was not something that was done. Girls did not date.\nCE: So it wasnt like the Holocaust got in the way, it just wasnt done.\nRM: No, not at all. It was, as the Germans say, verboten. That was it. You couldnt have a boyfriend and talk to him, talk to your parents about him. You could have one in secret and meet him in the afternoon somewhere, but that was it.\nCE: (laughs) Did you have one?\nRM: In a garden. Yeah, I did have one, and my parents were very much against it.\nCE: Is he the Greek Orthodox person?\nRM: Yeah. Thank goodness I met my husband after that.\nCE: So you graduated high school then?\nRM: Yes. I was taking at the same time private French lessons to get my what they call the baccalaurat in French. Its a diploma that is equal to a two-year college education in this country. So after we traveled, my husband and I after I had my children, I decided when I was forty years old to go back to school, and I finished the two years that were left in three years and I graduated magna cum laude from Trinity College in Washington.\nCE: Okay. Great.\nRM: And that allowed me to get a job later onnot that I needed the diploma, because it was a language job, and my degree was in history. But I loved taking the courses, and I did very well.\nCE: So, go back to Athens. You finish, you go to school. What happens in your life next?\nRM: Well, I was one of the first young ladies in the nice society where we moved to get a job. Actually, it was because the company, the owner of the company that imported textiles, was a friend of my fathers. I knew some English at that time; I was taking private lessons in English with an American. Incidentally, I thought he was the mafia and he had left the U.S. because he was in danger of being arrested. He went to Greece and just stayed in Greece and survived by giving English lessons. So I learned English from him, and he was a very good teacher. So I got this job, and I was making some moneymy goodness, its amazing!which I used for clothes, for this and that, never contributed to the family budget; it was just for me. And then when I met my husband, obviously I stopped working because I knew him for about six months, and he said, When are we going to announce our engagement?\nCE: (laughs) Thats how he proposed?\nRM: Thats how he proposed.\nCE: How did you meet him?\nRM: He was a friend of my brothers, and my brother had gone with him on a trip around the Peloponnese, where he had had projects builthospitals, health centersand he wanted to survey the progress. He hated to drive, so my brother was on vacation in Greece that summer and he drove for him. And then he came home one day and said, My American friend has jaundice and hes very bad in the hospital; you want to visit him? I was looking to improve my English anyway, and I thought Ill practice, so I went with him. And that was it. I went back and back and back, and then we were married. We were married in Germany. And somehow I think I resentedI resented my husband todayI didnt at the timefor taking me to Germany to get married: the place where we had lost so many people. When I finally thought seriously about it, I didnt like the idea, but it was done. We were in Heidelberg.\nCE: Why did he take you to Germany?\nRM: Well, he had a very good reason. The jaundice had left him in bad shape, and Frankfurt in Germany had a very good hospital. So his superiors wanted him to go to Frankfurt to get evaluated. So he decided this would be a good opportunity to get married as well, and he had a friend in Heidelberg who was a chaplain in the army. A Greek rabbi would not do for him; he had to have his American rabbi. So thats why we went to Heidelberg. My father came with me; my mother did not. It was very expensive in those years to travel by plane, and that was my first plane ride ever.\nCE: Wow. So where did you settle after you were married?\nRM: Well, we came back to Athens, because he was settled in Athens, and three months later we had to leave. I was already expecting my first child. We came to the U.S., where I was naturalized in five days because theres a government regulation that says that if the government sends you on missions abroad, I have to follow as his wife, obviously. So it may be ten years if they keep sending him abroad before I can become a citizen. So the law said that they allowed the people who were sent on government business to become naturalized much faster.\nCE: And tell me again what your husband did?\nRM: He was in the Public Health Service. He wore a uniform. I guess thats what impressed me at the time, the whites. The navies are okay, but the whites with the high collar, you knowvery elegant. So he contended thatno, I contended that I married him because of his uniform. (CE laughs) That lasted until I had to starch it and iron it.\nCE: That was enough.\nRM: It had to stand up like this with the starch. You see, the Public Health Service is one of the uniformed services of the U.S. There are five: the Army, Navy, Marines, Public Health. They have Navy ranks and Navy pay, but they belong to a very special group that deals with health matters: hospitals, medicine, clinics, whatever, and engineers, sanitary engineers, water supplies, and so on. So he was a member of the PHS, andwell, he was an administrator, and then a consultant as well. He retired after thirty years of service as a full captain, which is the equivalent of a full colonel in the Army. Thats how we traveled, because he was lent from the Point Four programs to the embassy, and he went to countries and he dealt with the health situation in that country.\nCE: So tell me the different places youve lived.\nRM: Well, right after we were married, we were in the States for three months, and then we went to Brazil. We were sent to Rio de Janeiro. To me, you know, for a little girl who had only known hardship until then, with the Holocaust and surviving, it was like something out of a miracle to go to Rio de Janeiro, that exotic place. We liked it very much, and we had our first child there. We were thinking of going for a second term, and then he was offered a position in Iran. All we could think of is we could stop in Athens on the way and see the family, so we accepted to go to Iran, where we lived for four years. On the way back we exchanged a first class ticket, which the government was generous enough to let us have at that timethats changed now, of coursefor tourist class. We exchanged it for a tourist class ticket and took the longer way home, so we visited Pakistan and India and Vietnam and Cambodia and so on and so forth. So that was a very interesting trip.\nAnd then when we left Iran after four years, we were sent to Ecuador. My husband got very sick in Ecuador, again, and the altitude affected his chest and his lungs. So after a while we had to go back to the United Stateswe didnt stay a full stay there. And we lived in Fort Worth, and I learned how to say Mrs. Bairds Breads in Texan. (CE laughs) After eight monthswe had acquired a Great Dane, incidentally, and we were sent back to Iran for two more years. The girls said that they wouldnt leave without the dog. But we had to find a way to transport him to Iran, so we found a ship that went around through the Suez Canal and got to the Persian Gulf.\nWe were in Shrz already. So we flew down to bdn, where the ship was in port, and the Italianthe American consul had kept the dog for a couple of days until we came. Of course, the dog was as big as that, like a little horse. So we got the dog. The Persian driver who came with me talked Iran Air to take the dog in one of the planes.\nRM: And something unbelievable happened. The dog was poisoned after a year, but thats beside the point. Fast forward thirty-some years later: were in Baltimore attending a wedding, and we sat next to a gentleman very nicely dressed. And at a certain point I said something in Persian to my husband so that people would not understand. He looked at us and said, Oh, you speak Persian! Yes, we speak Persian. Why? Well, we were in Iran for six years. Oh, I was in Iran, too. I forgot to tell you that the dogs name was Puppy. Nobody had bothered to give him another name. So he said, I was the consul in Abadan. Well, I said, isnt that a coincidence? We sent the dog to a consul in Abadan, and we picked him up. Are you Puppys owners? he said.\nRM: That was thirty-five years afterwards.\nRM: It was really something. Yeah. What a coincidence. We couldnt believe our ears.\nCE: Thats great. (laughs) Thats wonderful. So then after Iran the second time?\nRM: We went to Ecuador. No, no, after Iran we went back to Washington.\nCE: To Washington.\nRM: No, actually no. Sheldon retired from the Public Health Service after thirty years of duty, and he accepted a contract with Tulane University to go to Brazil, where Tulane had a joint program with the Brazilian government and the USAID organization. It didnt succeed, so we came back to the States after living in Brazil for ten months. Came back, and Sheldon started applying for positions. He did not actually make that, but he got a lot of consultant jobs. And I decided to go back to school, get my degree, and get a job. I finished three years in two years that I had left, and I applied to the CIA. It was a whole year before my clearance came through, because we had lived in so many countries, but it finally did. I started as a [GS] 7, the grade of a secretary, even though I was a linguist, and I think I doubled that in no time at all. I retired as a 14, which is pretty high in government. I worked seventeen years for the CIA.\nCE: Seventeen years.\nRM: Eighteen, actually, and five years for the NSA.\nCE: Wow. And what was your husband doing all that time?\nRM: Consulting.\nCE: He was doing consulting.\nCE: And then when did you come to Tampa?\nRM: Well, I had finished the twenty-three years; he had retired long before I did, because he was eleven years older than I was. So we decided to come. I wanted to continue workingI could have worked until I was eighty-five or whateverbut he needed me at home. His vision was very poor by then; he was legally blind. So I decided I have to retire, unfortunately, because I loved the job and they loved me. And we came to Tampa because we have the two girls in Orlando and Lakeland.\nCE: So its kind of in betweenwell, not in between, but close by to both places.\nRM: Yes.\nCE: What year was that?\nRM: I always forget. Two thousand? Its eleven years. Two thousand one, I guess.\nCE: Eleven years, so 2000.\nRM: Yeah, 2001 we came. Dates I dont remember too well.\nCE: Yeah, I dont either anymore.\nRM: I dont pay much attention. I know in general.\nCE: But the older dates you seem to know.\nRM: Oh, yes. Well, they were the most important ones.\nRM: That was like the date we were leaving Salonika: it was June, a very hot day, and I remember the lineup of the men and how amazed and terrorized we were when the German motioned to my father to step out.\nCE: So you have two daughters?\nRM: Two daughters, yes.\nCE: And what are their names?\nRM: Ann and Joan. I would have liked more fancy names, but my husband had had parents who liked fancy names. His name was Sheldon. His older brother was Chester. His younger brother was Carson. So when the time came, he says, I want plain names. I would have liked something better than Ann and Joan, because in every other language they sound the same: in Greek its Anna, Yoanna; in French its Anne, Jeanne. Its only in English that you say Ann and Joan. And my mother never learned how to say Joan. She married John, so it was Jon for both of them.\nCE: Oh, okay.\nRM: You know, she never could say paper and pepper. Its very difficult to distinguish between the two sounds for a foreigner.\nCE: Yeah. Lets talk about your parents. What happened to them?\nRM: Well, they stayed in Athens, obviously. They were reallythey were longing for me, because my brother had gone to the Congo, the Belgian Congo, to work, where he gotwell, I dont know that he got it there, but the sun was very bad for him. He had melanoma, and he died at thirty-seven. He had married before that and they had a little girl, named Lily after my mothers name. And they had moved to Belgium, because he had a lot of people whom he knew in Belgium from the Belgian Congo, and he was the representative of the big machines, the coffeethe espresso machines, you know, the big ones that they had. But he died very early. His widow and the little girl lived in Milan, and she married a cousin so she didnt even change her name. She was a Modiano; she remained a Modiano. My parentsmy mother looked after my father for twelve years. He had a stroke and he walked with her arm, and my husband decidedthat was really generous of himthat they would do better in this country, where we could take care of them, and if they became his dependents they could get medical care free. So we brought them to the States, and they lived with us. My father lived only three years; my mother lived with us for thirty years.\nCE: Wow! So you really did have a close relationship with her.\nRM: Yes. But it was kind of difficult at times. You know, I was in between my husband and my mother, and its not a good position in which to be.\nCE: No. No, its not.\nRM: But we managed, and my mother died just a year before we decided to move. She would never have been able to move to Florida. But he was a very generous guy, Sheldon.\nCE: Very, very. And when did he die?\nRM: He took care of them. Four years ago, in May.\nCE: Four years ago, uh-huh.\nRM: But I stayed here because Im comfortable here. I have friends in the building. I have friends from the synagogue. And I continueI have a pretty active life. I volunteer at the Tampa General Hospital, and I try to staywhat should I say?informed of whats going on. I like it in Tampa. Tampa is a lovely city.\nCE: Good, good. I do, too. And you volunteer at the Holocaust Museum, too.\nRM: Well, its not on a regular basis. They have asked me to stay to, actually, give speeches to the peoplethe students from schools. I want to show you the invitation that the Holocaust sent outthe Museumbecause its very interesting.\nCE: Dont get up with this [the microphone] on.\nRM: Oh, thats right. Yes, I forgot. Ill show you afterwards.\nCE: But what well do, we will take a photo of it at the end of the\nRM: Oh, you can actuallyif anybody wants to walk to the office, I have some yellow envelopes on the side, if you can bring one of those. I have the pictures in there.\nCE: We canwhen were done here, well turn the tape off and then well get it.\nRM: Oh, I see.\nCE: And take a photo of it.\nCE: And let you talk about it.\nRM: Its a very interesting photo of my grandfather with all his grandchildren.\nCE: Okay, good. Good. That will be wonderful.\nRM: And Ill also show youtalking about Sephardis, you know, there are many things that are different in cooking between the Sephardis and the Ashkenazis. I mean, some things are totally different and some are cooked a different way. I dont think GreeksGreek Jewsever cooked brisket the way you do here. As a matter of fact, are you familiar with the Brisket Brigade?\nCE: No. No.\nRM: Well, when a wife dies, the other widows ply the widower with brisket.\nRM: They call it a Brisket Brigade. (laughs)\nCE: Oh, thats wonderful. Yeah. So, talk a little bitcause you mentioned it when we were having lunchabout the way the different Jews feel about each other, the Sephardi and the Ashkenazi.\nRM: Yeah. You see, as I said, Sephardis thought of themselves as the aristocrats. They were, once upon a time, during the golden age, like Maimonides and Rashd [al-Dn Tabb] and so on. But they claimed that they were the only ones who maintained the culture and civilization, which is wrong, because the Ashkenazis did just as much for culture. But Sephardis eventually turned into just merchants, you know. There was no more of that air of aristocracy about the Sephardi. Actually, it passed into the hands of the Ashkenazi, because they produced people like Einstein, you know, and all the scientists. But nevertheless, it did not prevent the Sephardi Jews to despiseto this day despisethe Ashkenazi Jews. We were better than they were.\nCE: Okay. And then I wanted to ask you about telling your story and what impact that has on you.\nRM: Well, you know, I was nearly in tears when I spoke about when they were rounding them up, because this was the worst thing I could have seen. The way they came, like a horde of savages calling for the people to get out, putting the dogs on them, you know. And these were old people; they could hardly walk, you know, and they were burdened by the stuff that they thought they could use. It was heart-rending. And our relatives were among them. And then there waswell, I better not talk about it, I shouldntabout an incident with one of my cousins. But its too bad; I dont want to talk about it. So every time I think of that, and especially when I went to the movie and it was depicted in vivid color in front of mehow could it be possible? I dont understand. What did these people do that they had to go, to leave everything they had for a lifetime? Thats very bad for me. But on the other hand, I want the story to be known, to be told, because there are so many doubts already. Eh, it didnt happen.\nCE: Yeah. Yeah. When you tell your story or when you give a talk at the Holocaust Museum or whatever, does it then make you think more about it?\nRM: Of course. This has been constant with me. Ive written so much, Ive given so manyand as you saw in the papers, I try to vary it a little bit, not to give the same old trite report. And one of the rules I learned, and probably you agreedefinitelyis that you start with a bang.\nCE: Yes. You always do that in what you wrote. I love that.\nRM: This I learned at the NSA. You start with a big bang, you know, and you keep the interest of the people alive. If you start inwhat should I say? The customary way.\nCE: Like, I was born in you know.\nRM: Yes. It doesnt excite anybody. Yeah.\nCE: Yeah. Thats good. Is there anything you would like to leave the people with who will be watching this video?\nRM: I dont understand.\nCE: Is there any message that you would like to send.\nRM: Oh. The message is, we survived. The ones who tell the story somehow survived, with the help of God, of society, of human kindness, whatever it is, and we found quite a bit of itand we found some bad stuff, too.\nCE: And I have at least one more question.\nRM: Yes?\nCE: In all the interviews that Ive done, people have talked about having children and their children having children, and that being kind of a way that, you know, we survived and so forth. I think your girls are the only ones who have not had children\nRM: I guess so.\nCE: and I just wondered if you would talk about that.\nRM: Theyre not particularly interested, either. I dont know why, because Ive tried to write down whattheyre not very interested. And theyre the only ones, I guess, because I see others express their closeness. Im close to them, but that doesnt mean that theyre interested in my past. Im going to show you also a pan that we used, the Sephardis used; the better one is at the Museum, the Holocaust Museum in St. Pete. But this is a concoction with matzo.\nRM: And its very interesting. I have the not so good one herethe better one I gave to the Museumbut I said I need it back this Passover to make the dessert.\nCE: Oh, okay. All right.\nRM: I usually invite people over to taste this Sephardi dessert.\nCE: Oh, wonderful. Is there anything else you want to say?\nRM: I dont know. What could I say? Sometimes I feel really very lucky that I had this kind of life. And even the experiences through the Holocaust were helpful, because they kind of shape you in a different way. I dont think Im very much like everybody else. Im not special, but Im different, you see, because I have gone through all of that. You develop a certain personality. I have recurring nightmares, though.\nCE: Do you?\nRM: Yes. Well, Parkinsons makes you have nightmares and hallucinations, but mine is always on the same theme. Im afraid of something. I am afraid to go out; if I go out, I take byways. I found myself fighting with somebody one night. I have scratched my husbands back one time because I was fighting against him. So I suppose its not all free, it doesnt come free. Its a good story. Its nice to talk about it so that it will become known, but you pay a certain price for it.\nCE: Thank you so much.\nRM: Youre very welcome.\nCE: Ive thoroughly enjoyed getting to know you a little bit.\nCE: And hearing your story was very special.\nRM: Thank you very much. Yeah, I dont think Im special, but this thing has made me feel special.\nCE: Oh, you are special, very special.\nRM: And Ill show you what I meantwhat did I mean?\nRM: The pot, and something else. I forget.\nCE: Well think about it. Thank you very much.",

        "raw_content": "The following are character interviews with Dr. Jack Oswald from the Hell Holes series:\nTBD (TBD)\nQuestion: Today, we are honored to have Dr. Jack Oswald with us. As many of you know, Dr. Oswald is our nation\u2019s premier expert on hell holes, being both the first person to actually enter one as well as a being a member of one of the assault teams in our attack on the demon homeworld. Welcome, Dr. Oswald. We really appreciate you taking the time to join us today.\nDr. Oswald: You\u2019re very welcome. I\u2019m glad to be here.\nQuestion: To begin, why don\u2019t you tell us a little about yourself and what you did before the invasion.\nDr. Oswald: Well, I was a geology professor at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, where my wife, Dr. Angela Menendez, was a professor of climatology. During the school year, I primarily taught undergraduate and graduate classes in geology and acted as an advisor to several graduate students. During the brief Alaskan summer, I did field work up on the North Slope, both research as well as acting as a consultant for the oil companies to help finance my research.\nQuestion: Much has been written about the demon invasion. I understand that you are also writing a book on your experiences.\nDr. Oswald: Yes. After surprisingly surviving the assault on the demon\u2019s portal complex, my wife and I decided to take a two-year sabbatical and co-author a book on small part we played in the war. Not everyone knows that my wife was part of my team researching one of the holes when the demon invasion first began.\nQuestion: That must have been a truly terrifying experience. Perhaps you can tell us something about your initial contact with the demons. How did you manage to survive when so many others were killed that first day?\nDr. Oswald: It was certainly not because of either of us did. People have tried to make me out as some kind of hero, but the real heroes were Aileen O\u2019Shannon and Bill Henderson. Were it not for Bill shooting several of the hellhounds and the shield Aileen conjured with her amulet, none of us would have survived that first encounter.\nQuestion: That must have been quite a shock, seeing Ms. O\u2019Shannon using her amulet to create a magic barrier between your team and the hellhounds. As a scientist, what was it like to see a real magic spell?\nDr. Oswald: It was definitely bizarre for my wife and me. Of course, it wasn\u2019t until later that we learned that the devilstone in her amulet was actually an advanced alien technology and not magic at all. It was the same with the medical nanobots in the demon blood that enabled them to heal before our eyes. It really shook our faith in the existence of a rational scientific explanation for everything, at least for the first few days until we learned the truth. But as Arthur C. Clarke famously said, \u201cA sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.\u201d\nQuestion: I understand that in spite of having no military experience, you actually volunteered as a member of one of the assault teams that entered an inactive hell hole, used their portal to travel to the demon homeworld, and destroyed the demons\u2019 portal system, thereby ending the invasion. That was an amazingly brave thing for a middle-aged college professor to do. What made you decide to volunteer for such an unbelievably dangerous mission?\nDr. Oswald: In hind-sight, I was probably a lot more foolhardy than brave. At least, that\u2019s what my wife has said. But truthfully, I was pretty much scared from the time I first saw the hellhounds until we landed back at Eielson Air Force Base after the mission was over. Actually, I volunteered because I felt I didn\u2019t really have a choice. First of all, the team needed someone who was familiar with hell holes and could determine the safety of the tunnels through the permafrost leading to the portals. Secondly, we needed a scientist who could collect information about the demon\u2019s homeworld and determine if humans could safely survive Hell\u2019s environmental conditions. And finally, I felt responsible because I was the one who initially suggested taking a nuclear bomb through one of the portals to destroy their portal complex on the demon homeworld. If I didn\u2019t go, we would\u2019ve just had to send someone else in my place. I couldn\u2019t have lived with myself if my staying home resulted in the death of one of my colleagues and friends.\nQuestion: I understand, but I still think it was an amazing thing to do. As a final question, how about telling us something about your the assault that isn\u2019t widely known outside of your fellow survivors?\nDr. Oswald: Well, there is one image that I can\u2019t seem to get out of my mind when I lie in bed at night. As we entered the tunnel leading from the bottom of the hell hole to the portal, it was initially quite dark and we had to use of night vision goggles. However, it wasn\u2019t long until we could see dim green lights every few yards along the tunnel. Only when we got close to these strangely shaped lights did we finally realize what we were seeing. The demons had stuck human body parts\u2014arms, legs, heads\u2014that were covered in a bio-luminescent fungus. The demons were using our dead as nothing more than glorified light bulbs.\u201d\nQuestion: That certainly shows just how little the demons think of us. Well, that\u2019s all we have time for tonight. I want to thank our guest, Dr. Jack Oswald, for a very enlightening interview.\nDr. Oswald: It was my pleasure.",

Many people have heard about occupational therapy, \"OT\" as we like to call it, but often don't fully understand. .\nIn its simplest terms, occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants help people across the lifespan participate in the things they want and need to do through the therapeutic use of everyday activities (occupations). Common occupational therapy interventions include helping children with disabilities to participate fully in school and social situations, helping people recovering from injury to regain skills, and providing supports for older adults experiencing physical and cognitive changes.",

We encourage everyone to know their names and acknowledge their contribution to the struggle. Below is a list of just a few of the unsung heroes/sheroes of the Civil Rights Movement. Click on their names to learn more.\nA. Philip Randolph Dorothy Cotton James Reeb Ralph Abernathy\nAndrew Young Ella Baker Jimmie Lee Jackson Rosa Parks\nBayard Rustin Fannie Lou Hamer Jo Ann Robinson Roy Wilkins\nBernard LaFayette Fred Shuttlesworth John Lewis Ruby Bridges\nBob Moses James Bevel Julian Bond Septima Clark\nClaudette Colvin James Forman Marion Barry Stokely Carmichael\nC.T. Vivian James Lawson Medgar Evers Vincent Harding\nDiane Nash James Meredith Myles Horton Viola Liuzzo\nA. Philip Randolph was a labor activist who led the first predominantly black labor union. He led the March on Washington, where Dr. King gave his famous \u201cI Have a Dream\u201d speech, as well as the original March on Washington movement of the 1940s. He was largely responsible for desegregating the United States Military before the Civil Rights Movement. Read books about Randolph here.\nAndrew Young was a key leader in SCLC, serving for a time as their Executive Director. He was also president of the National Council of Churches and went on to have a career in politics, serving as mayor of Atlanta, a congressman for Georgia, and an ambassador to the United Nations. He authored and was featured in several books.\nBayard Rustin was active in many Civil Rights organizations, including FOR, CORE, SNCC, SCLC and others. An early participant in the movement, he was a leader in the early Freedom Rides (known as the Journey of Reconciliation) that took place in 1947, years before the Montgomery Bus Boycott. An openly gay activist, he was at times ostracized from the Movement. Rustin was the Executive Director of the March on Washington, and played a key role in convincing Dr. King to not own a gun. Check out some of the books that have been written about him, as well as a documentary film about his life.\nBernard LaFayette was a leader in the Nashville lunch counter sit-ins, the Freedom Rides, and an early organizer of the Selma movement. He would later go on to be the National Coordinator of the Poor People\u2019s Campaign, and played a role in negotiating the peace settlement between the American Indian Movement and the FBI during the Wounded Knee stand-off. A co-founder of SNCC, Dr. LaFayette is also the co-author of the Kingian Nonviolence Conflict Reconciliation training curriculum. He currently serves as the Chairman of SCLC. Dr. LaFayette recently authored a memoir about his work in Selma.\nBob Moses was an activist with SNCC, and would later go on to start the Algebra Project. As a field secretary with SNCC, he was the director of the Mississippi project, and was the main organizer of Freedom Summer, an attempt to register black voters in MS in 1964. Moses was also a key figure in the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party. Moses has written a couple of books, and was also featured in these two books.\nClaudette Colvin, at age 15, was arrested for refusing to give up her seat on a segregated bus in Montgomery, nine months before the arrest of Rosa Parks. Claudette was one of the plaintiffs in the Browder vs Gayle case that would eventually go on to desegregate the Montgomery bus systems. Read this book that was written about her story, or check out this NPR story or this interview with her on Democracy Now.\nC.T. Vivian, a 2013 recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, was a member of SCLC and a Freedom Rider. As a minister in Nashville, he was a participant in the Nashville lunch counter sit-ins, and went on to be a participant in many campaigns throughout the movement. His 1970 book was the first book written about the Civil Rights movement by one of Dr. King\u2019s staff members.\nDiane Nash is a co-founder of SNCC, and was a key leader in successful campaigns such as the Nashville lunch counter sit-ins, the Freedom Rides and the Selma Voting Rights campaign. She is the recipient of many awards and remains a strong advocate for nonviolence (which she now refers to as \u201cAgapic Energy\u201d) to this day. Read a book about her life here, and watch a short interview with her here.\nDorothy Cotton was one of the highest ranking women within SCLC, serving as their Education Director and directing their Citizenship Education Program. After Dr. King\u2019s death, she served as Vice President for Field Operations for the MLK Center for Nonviolent Social Change, where she led trainings in nonviolence. She recently authored this book, and you can also see her work with the Dorothy Cotton Institute.\nElla Baker often worked behind the scenes, and served as a mentor to many young leaders of the movement. An activist who was always committed to empowering young people with a firm belief in the idea of collective leadership, she was often critical of the male dominated, hierarchical leadership of the Movement. After her work with the NAACP and SCLC, she played an instrumental role in calling a meeting of young leaders; a meeting that would serve as the founding of SNCC.

        "raw_content": "There were times in days past when I would relax in the summer, catch up on technology journals, travel and finally reach such a state of ennui that I would welcome the return of the school year. That process has not occurred this summer. Today, as I write the very first blog post I've written in two months, I am poised to rush away from the unfinished post to greet my son as he awakens from his afternoon nap. It could happen any minute....\nYes, it's true things are different. The \"me\" before was on TOP of her game. I knew what what happening in the blogosphere (as if that matters anymore now), my aggregator was clear, I spent time developing my PLN and could speak thoughtfully about most educational technology issues. Every summer, I had a feeling of what was the \"next thing\" for our school and what our students need to know. It is with some trepidation that I write (and post!) down my fear: That I'm not in the ed tech loop anymore. My priorities have shifted. That's not to say that hundreds of men and women have made this transition before, and have managed to navigate both the parent and ed-tech worlds. Somehow, I just haven't done it. I am aware that it was a choice. I chose to spend my time with my son, in entirety.\nHe goes to school for the first time this fall, in about three days. Not that I'm counting. As I get back to work, I do know that I will feel reinvigorated by my subject. I will be teaching a class this Fall that I have lobbied to create and teach for years about \"Issues in Technology.\" It asks students to examine moral issues they face when using technology tools and to develop their own opinions. It will be centered upon debate. I'm hoping things get heated! We're also migrating to a new student information system and we have some new interactive whiteboard hardware school-wide. I think I feel a glimmer of excitement somewhere inside me.\nThere is a place, I'm sure, inside of me for both my child and my career. I've never been great with balance...even in yoga class I found the \"tree pose\" nearly impossible despite being an advanced yogi for all the other poses and positions. I'll get there, I think. I may never be on top of my game again but I'll be in the game at least instead of at another stadium entirely.\nImage: Some rights reserved by theseanster93",

        "raw_content": "Those who met Chuchu can tell you that she accomplished more in her 23 years than most people manage in an entire lifetime. Chuchu was born in China on February 28, 1994, daughter of Li Chen and Hengguo Ma. She came to live in the US at the age of three. Chuchu had a great relationship with her parents and loved them deeply. Family was a priority for her that made 1900 miles of geographical distance feel like next to none. She was the perfect daughter any parents could hope for. Her parents are so proud of her.\nChuchu consistently excelled at her work through both her performance and the heart and soul with which she approached everything. She was the 2012 Valedictorian of Klein Collins High School in Spring, Texas. She was a talented musician, playing both violin and piano, and brought her love of music to the University, where she was involved in the Engineering Chamber Orchestra as a performer and a leader.\nChuchu Ma graduating at UT\nChuchu loved coding and Computer Science for the sense of endless possibilities that the field brings, and that was how she lived her life: fully embracing the countless possibilities. Her passion for her chosen field didn\u2019t start until she had already begun her studies at UT. She was introduced to CS by a friend and took such a liking to it that she changed her major.\nChuchu often expressed her desire to reach out to similar academically successful women, introduce them to CS, and give them an opportunity to pursue a career. It would be her wish to encourage and support other high-achieving and community-conscious students, especially women, to work towards a degree in Computer Science at UT.\nChuchu felt as much pride in other\u2019s accomplishments as she felt about her own. She frequently volunteered to mentor and teach in her free time. She reached out to help fellow software engineers begin their new jobs and careers. She was a person who built up and strengthened those around her. She encouraged fellow technical women to take leadership development classes. She advised students in a UT CS course for which she was the TA, and she would informally tutor anyone. Generous to a fault, she wanted to share every experience she had in life.\nChuchu Ma\nChuchu was well known for her infectious enthusiasm and willingness to step outside of her comfort zone to help others. As a full-time employee at Google, despite her short tenure, she had received personal thanks and awards from folks up and down the ladder. Her technical accomplishments racked up quickly at the same time that she worked hard to build a fun and inclusive team. Through her leadership, coordination, and hands-on work, she got task teams to work together for common goals.\nChuchu was the type of friend who could be called any time whether you needed someone to explore the city with or a shoulder to cry on without judgment. She was always bringing people together. Somehow, she would throw together team hot-pot evenings with 20 people in a small apartment and 6 different utensils, meet everyone\u2019s separate dietary needs, do it well, and do it with a smile. She organized groups to encourage reluctant exercisers, led hiking trips all over the Bay Area, and brought her friends to all sorts of orchestral performances, including her own.\nChuchu Ma at Google\nChuchu was adventurous and loved trying new things, from rock-climbing to making glass pumpkins to knitting, and was also a huge fan of anime, Pokemon, Avatar, RWBY, Hayao Miyazaki movies, and Nintendo games. She relished hosting game nights and wielded her red Nintendo 2DS the way her favorite characters did their blades. If you ever picked a Pokemon fight with her in Pokemon Sun/Moon, you had to prepare to lose.\nAnd of course, Chuchu would disapprove if no one highlighted the fact that she was an absolute cat lover. She was a walking encyclopedia of the best cat forums on the internet; her Facebook page was decorated with cat photos; she spoiled her cat Twinkie; and any friends with cats would have to worry about impending cat-nappings. She had a goal to make everyone she met meow at least once.\nChuchu taught others to say \u201cI am remarkable.\u201d Now that she is gone, her family and loved ones hope that this endowment will continue to lift others up in their studies and in their careers in Computer Science.\nMake a gift to Chuchu Ma memorial",

UKZN Emeritus Professor, Johannes van Staden can lay claim to this achievement \u2013 he is the worthy recipient of the M.T. Steyn Medal for Natural Sciences and Technical Achievement and the 2010 Gold Medal of the Southern African Association for the Advancement of Science (S2A3). Both these awards recognise his outstanding lifetime achievements and contribution to the advancement of science in the form of teaching, research, training, management, popularisation, editing and mentorship.\nThe M.T. Steyn Medal, awarded by the Suid-Afrikaanse Akademie vir Wetenskap en Kuns (South African Academy for Science and Art), is one of the Academy\u2019s most important tributes for leadership at the highest level. Receipt of the medal can be regarded as the culmination of an academic\u2019s life\u2019s-work and can only be awarded once to any particular person. Described by the Academy as the most productive scientist in South Africa, Professor van Staden was presented with the award at a formal ceremony in Pretoria at the beginning of October.\nBack from left: Professor Rob Slotow, Dr Pradeep Kumar, Professor Cristina Trois; front from left: Karebo Group CEO, Mr Peter Kgame, Head of UKZN Innovation, Mr Reggie Govender and Mr Chris Nicholson.\nA partnership between UKZN and Karebo Power Projects, a Johannesburg-based engineering company, has resulted in the Integrated Renewable Energy Application Programme (I-REAP). Officially launched at the Westville campus on October 13, the initiative also involves the National Research Foundation (NRF)\u2019s Technology and Human Resources Programme (THRIP), the Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) and UKZN Innovation, the University\u2019s commercial arm.\nThe realities of climate change demand that South Africa move away from its high (almost 90 percent) reliance on coal for electricity generation to more renewable sources of power. The UKZN-Karebo partnership aims to address this issue by establishing a multidisciplinary Renewable Energy Technology Centre aimed at: promoting excellence in sustainable energy research and technological development, fostering scholarship and skills transfer, and creating and disseminating knowledge on renewable energy.\nPhD student Ms Hayley Leck (right) with Ms Sibongile Buthelezi from the School of Environmental Sciences.\nThe Centre for Civil Society (CCS) held a seminar on Rising to the Adaption Challenge? Responding to Global Environmental Change in the Durban Metropolitan and Ugu District Regions by Ms Hayley Leck where she presented an overview of her research and fieldwork experiences and provided a tentative outline of some of her main findings so far.\nMs Leck is a PhD student at the Royal Holloway University London and a UKZN graduate. She has been a visiting scholar at the CCS during her fieldwork period which began in October 2009 and will be shortly returning to London where she will complete her final year.\nMs Leck said that global environmental change or, more narrowly, climate change is now widely recognised as the most formidable challenge facing humanity in the 21st century and beyond. The adverse effects of climate change are disproportionately distributed and it is the already vulnerable and marginalised who stand to be most affected.\nUKZN academics who participated in the Panel Discussion on South African Indians \u2013 150 years and Beyond.\nGuests attending the panel discussion South African Indians \u2013 150 years and Beyond at UKZN on September 29 celebrated the heritage of the Indian community whose beginnings in South Africa date back to the 1860s when they were brought to the country to work as indentured labour.\nGreat grand-daughter of Mahatma Gandhi and the Chancellor of the Durban University of Technology Mrs Ela Gandhi, and UKZN academics, Professors Hoosen Coovadia, Brij Maharaj and Dr Lubna Nadvi addressed a diverse audience on the history of the Indian community in South Africa and their meteoric rise in all sectors of society from humble beginnings.\nLecturer in Geography Professor Maharaj, presented a historical perspective on the Indian community and their resilience in making a success of their lives despite numerous hardships, and living conditions tantamount to slavery.\nMasters and doctoral students from UKZN\u2019s Faculty of Education get marked on their poster presentations at the Faculty\u2019s Research Day.\nThe Faculty of Education\u2019s Postgraduate Sector and Research Office held a Faculty Research Day on October 1.\nMasters and doctoral students presented oral and poster presentations based on a chapter from their dissertation, thesis or research publication. The oral presentations were intended to provide them with support in developing their ideas and enhancing the quality of their individual research projects.\nIn her lecture titled, The Question(s) of Education Research, education linguist from the University of Johannesburg\u2019s Centre for Education Practice Research, Professor Elizabeth Henning emphasised the importance of research in education.\nMr Robert Spaull.\nUKZN alumnus Mr Robert Spaull has been awarded the prestigious Anglo American-Chevening Scholarship for fully funded study at the University of Cambridge this year where he will be reading for an MPhil International Relations at Peterhouse.\nAfter graduating from the former University of Natal in 1997 with a BSocSci degree Mr Spaull went on to work at Parliament in Cape Town as a researcher and speechwriter for the Leader of the Opposition. He subsequently held positions as Director of Communications in the Office of the Western Cape Premier and Head of Communications in the national Ministry of Environmental Affairs and Tourism before joining the private sector as a partner in a private equity fund providing start-up funding to small and medium size businesses.\nDelegates at the African Health Research Ethics Symposium (AHRES II).\nThe South African Research Ethics Training Initiative (SARETI), a project funded by the US NIH Fogarty International Center, based at the UKZN School of Psychology on the Pietermaritzburg campus, in collaboration with the School of Medicine, University of Pretoria, directed by Professor Doug Wassenaar, hosted the second African Health Research Ethics Symposium (AHRES II) in Umhlanga Rocks, from September 29 to October 1.\nThe Symposium was attended by 39 delegates from 12 African countries, including the Director of the Council on Health Research for Development (COHRED), Professor Carel IJsselmuiden, who is based in Geneva, Switzerland and the Dean of Humanities at UKZN, Professor Nhlanhla J Mkhize.\nStudents at UKZN create a 'green' corner to emphasise environmental awareness.\nWe are all aware of global environmental deterioration, and the critical issues of lack of water and energy here in South Africa. But are we doing something ourselves to combat the environmental crisis? As an initiative to spark environmental awareness on Howard College, a group of concerned students and staff has decided to do something to make a change and have launched the \u201cGreening UKZN Campaign.\u201d\nThe Campaign kicked off on the Howard College campus on September 30 with students setting up a green corner that engaged both students and staff on issues pertaining to the environment. Students and staff across the disciplines were seen at the green corner to learn more on how to create a more sustainable environmental behaviour.\nCampaign member Ms Anja Bakken said a walk about of the Howard College campus alone had shown that lights are turned on 24 hours a day; air conditioners are left on and taps are often left open. \u201cThe wastage of huge amounts of paper, energy and water has a negative impact on the environment. Pollution is a big problem in Durban but we do not actively do much to address the problem. We would like students to become more involved in our programme to create a safer environment,\u201d said Ms Bakken.\nProfessor Gareth Jones.\nSpeaking for the dead: an anatomists ethical reflections on the dead human body was the topic of a public lecture on October 12 at UKZN by Professor Gareth Jones, Director of the Bioethics Centre and Professor of Anatomy and Structural Biology at the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand.\nProfessor Jones said, \u201cAnatomists need ethics, however this has not always been so. After all, if anatomists fail to address ethical issues of direct relevance to the study of the dead human body, who is expected to do this? And yet anatomists have repeatedly fallen down when it has come to asserting the primacy of ethical standards in their profession. They have paid far too little attention to ethical strictures, and this has opened the way to some appalling ethical lapses in anatomical practice.\n\u201cAs I have reflected on these issues, it has seemed that the manner in which we respond to the dead, the use we make of their skeletal remains and tissues, and the ways in which we learn about ourselves by studying them, raise ethical queries that go to the heart of what it means to be human, said Professor Jones\u201d.\nDr Sindisiwe Mthembu.\nHumbled by the completion of her doctoral degree in Nursing Education, Dr Sindisiwe Mthembu, who likens the experience to having conquered the world, was congratulated by UKZN\u2019s Faculty of Health Sciences on her achievement.\nDr Mthembu started her PhD titled: The analysis of knowledge construction in community based service-learning programmes for basic nursing education at two selected nursing education institutions in South Africa in 2007.\nThis study explored the phenomenon of knowledge construction in basic nursing programmes in two selected South African nursing schools to generate a middle range theoretical model that may be used to guide the process of knowledge construction in community based service-learning programmes.\nStudents from the School of Pharmacy and Pharmacology who won the laboratory-based category award at the Young Health Scientists Research Symposium.\nStudents from the UKZN\u2019s College of Health Sciences enrolled in undergraduate programmes participated in a Young Health Scientists Research Symposium which was held at UKZN and hosted in partnership with Pfizer - the largest private pharmaceutical research organisation in the world, on October 4.\n\u201cThis annual Research Symposium is designed to showcase and highlight the recent scientific and clinical research from the College\u2019s young health scientists,\u201d said Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Head of the College of Health Sciences, Professor Tahir Pillay.\nSeven groups of students had the opportunity to present research projects which were judged by a panel of health scientists from UKZN and Pfizer South Africa - the main sponsor of the event. These presentations are an integral part of what the students can anticipate in their careers.\nSouth African musicians, Ernie Smith and Concord Nkabinde wow the audience at the opening of the 14th Poetry Africa festival.\nThe 14th Poetry Africa festival at the Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre on the Howard College campus created a wonderful buzz. This annual event ran from October 4-8 at UKZN and closed at Durban\u2019s Bat Centre on October 9.\nThis year\u2019s festival featured 22 participants from 12 different countries. Apart from thoroughly entertaining nights at the Sneddon Theatre, the activities included seminars, workshops, poetry competitions, open mic opportunities and school visits.\nThe Director for the Centre for Creative Arts (CCA) Peter Rorvik said it is evident that music and poetry spring from the same well of creativity. The festival opened with a spectacular performance by internationally acclaimed artists, Ernie Smith and Concord Nkabinde, followed by a poetry marathon which featured the various poets that presented their work throughout the week.\nGhosts cast members, From left: Mr Derek de Froberville, Ms Tshepiso Mabulana and Mr Siphesihle Shangase.\nUKZN\u2019s Drama and Performance Studies programme at Howard College staged Henrik Ibsen\u2019s famous play Ghosts in an expressionist style production this October.\nThe play is often studied by students of drama because the playwright is commonly referred to as the 'father of modern drama'. At the turn of the century his work was an important part of the move away from the Romantic style of 19th century theatre toward realism. Students and the general public came out to see Ibsen\u2019s play which explores hypocrisy around issues such as illegitimate children, venereal disease, incest, infidelity, and euthanasia.",

        "raw_content": "Trump\u2019s Syrian Troop Withdrawal Sparks Bipartisan Distress in Washington\nFriends and opponents of the president come together in slamming the move as a betrayal of principles as well as allies.\nOn December 19, President Trump asserted that ISIS has been defeated and that the U.S. would withdraw all of its 2,000 American troops from Syria \u201cwithin 60-100 days.\u201d Wire reports indicated that the President reached his decision following a conversation with Turkish President Erdogan. Shortly after the announcement, Erdogan made a public promise to postpone its plans to attack Kurds in Northern Syria, and Russia praised President Trump\u2019s choice to withdraw.\nBut the announced departure was greeted with profound disappointment elsewhere \u2014 including the United States. Within his own administration, the decision prompted the resignation of Defense Secretary James Mattis, as well Brett McGurk, the U.S. special presidential envoy for the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS. Meanwhile, in the American public discussion, the move drew denunciation from Trump\u2019s traditional defenders and from his more consistent opponents.\nScathing criticism arrived, for example, from the Washington-based Foundation for the Defense of Democracies (FDD), which had cheered the president\u2019s tough line on Iran. Writing in The Atlantic, FDD CEO Marc Dubowitz and Senior Fellow Reuel Marc Gerecht criticized the withdrawal as a betrayal of principles as well as allies: \u201dTrump\u2019s decision to withdraw U.S. forces from Syria, concurrently with his intention to drastically reduce the number of American soldiers in Afghanistan and the likely soon-to-be-announced further drawdown of U.S. personnel in Iraq, has made mincemeat of the administration\u2019s efforts to contain Iran. If you add up who wins locally by this decision (the clerical regime in Iran, Russian President Vladimir Putin, the Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad, Lebanese Hezbollah, Iraqi Shiite radicals, and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan) and who loses (Jordan, Israel, the Syrian and Iraqi Kurds and Sunni Arabs, everyone in Lebanon resisting Hezbollah, the vast majority of the Iraqi Shia, the Gulf States), it becomes clear that the interests of the United States have been routed.\u201d\nSome of the President\u2019s more consistent opponents, for their part, observed that in declaring victory over ISIS \u2014 and withdrawing all 2,000 troops from Syria as well as half of the 14,000 deployed to Afghanistan \u2014 Trump should be held accountable for the consequences of any new terror strikes against the United States. \u201cTrump is exposing himself to some brutal recriminations if there\u2019s a domestic ISIS attack months from now,\u201d Tweeted Politico editor Michael Crowley. Writing in The New Yorker, David Rohde observed, \u201cTrump is taking a political risk that George W. Bush and Barack Obama carefully avoided after 9/11: being perceived as weak on terrorism.\u201d\nUS Syrian troop withdrawal Lebanon & Syria",

She currently serves as president of the Mizzou chapter of the National Society of Black Engineers and the NSBE Region 5 regional leadership chair. The Chicago native is a member of Epsilon Psi Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc., a Civil Engineering undergraduate researcher for the McNair Scholars Program, a College of Engineering Ambassador, a Mystical 7 Secret Honor Society member and served as a Mizzou Alternative Breaks site leader during her time on campus.\n\u201cIt meant a lot, and it really gave me a chance to really reflect on my time here at Mizzou,\u201d Abraham said of her selection. \u201cI thought back about every single year I\u2019ve been here, reflected on how much I grew the last couple of years, and it allowed me to think how Mizzou has impacted me the last four years. To think that it\u2019s really been a mutually beneficial relationship between me and Mizzou is a really good feeling.\u201d\nShe said she was thankful to have the means and ability to spend time supporting such tremendous organizations, as well as thankful for the aid of her mentor, Civil Engineering Assistant Teaching Professor and Director of Undergraduate Studies, Enos Inniss.\n\u201cHe\u2019s been the one person who I\u2019ve been able to consistently go to ever since I had him for class. \u2026 He would allow me to come in and walk through how I was doing once a week or biweekly,\u201d Abraham said. \u201cJust having somebody who\u2019s there to check in on you even though you have other students and are teaching other classes really meant a lot to me.\u201d\nAbraham will complete her studies this spring before starting a position with Clayco in its Chicago office this summer.\nNolan Gromacki\nNot everybody gets to be a part of a no-hitter and earn a major campus honor in the same week. The Mizzou \u201939 selection capped off a pretty stellar few days for Gromacki, a Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering senior and Mizzou baseball relief pitcher, who recorded the last three outs of the 10th no-hitter in program baseball history the Friday prior against Maryland-Baltimore County.\nBut Gromacki\u2019s collegiate experience is defined by more than his athlete status. He has been tapped into senior honor society QEBH, is president of Mizzou Student Athlete Advisory Committee and serves as athletics liaison for the campus\u2019 It\u2019s On Us campaign, which seeks to inform and educate with the goal of eliminating sexual assault.\n\u201cWe talk a lot about Mizzou Made over in the athletic department, and my idea of someone Mizzou Made is a well-rounded individual, not just coasting through four years but challenging themselves and improving the lives of others as they\u2019re improving themselves,\u201d he explained.\nGiven what Mizzou \u201939 represents, the Smithville, Mo., native was excited to be selected and to have the opportunity to share the moment with his girlfriend, fellow Mizzou \u201939 selection Tori Schafer. He also enjoyed getting to highlight his mentor, Mizzou Engineering adviser Nick Balser.\n\u201cHe really treated me like family or a good friend, so being able to go into his office and ask for advice is great,\u201d Gromacki explained. \u201cWe\u2019ve built that trust, and I know he\u2019s someone here in the engineering department that has my back.\u201d\nGromacki will complete an upcoming co-op and his baseball career before graduating next year.\nHaydn Lock\nLock wanted to fill the time between high school and the start of his career with as much as possible. Between his Civil and Environmental Engineering coursework, serving on the 2017 Mizzou Homecoming Steering Committee, being a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, professional business fraternity Alpha Kappa Psi and Civil Engineering fraternity Chi Epsilon and participating on the steel and timber bridge teams, it\u2019s safe to say he accomplished that goal.\n\u201cI really was just trying to do anything and everything. Not really knowing what I was getting into, but I just wanted to get involved,\u201d he said.\n\u201cIt\u2019s that part between starting college and getting a job that you want to fill in, and I was able to do that with a lot of great organizations.\u201d\nLock, who hails from Jefferson City, was able to do that and succeed with some help from his mentor, Assistant Teaching Professor Ahmed Abu El-Ela.\n\u201cFrom Day 1, he wanted to learn each and every one of our names and wanted to help us no matter what the case was \u2014 life, class, career. The door was always open to everybody. \u2026 He really goes above and beyond,\u201d he said.\nLock will graduate in May before beginning a job with Brinkmann Constructors in Kansas City.\nBrandon Splitter\nSplitter initially felt as though his academics would be the key to potentially earning campus-wide recognition. Over time, however, the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science senior realized just how much of an impact his service could have, and it contributed to his selection. Splitter served in MizzouThon Leadership, as a member of the It\u2019s On Us executive board, is a member of the Residential Life Hall of Fame, is a member of Omicron Delta Kappa and was a Homecoming top-10 royalty candidate last fall.\n\u201cSomething that changed for me since I came to Mizzou is I became more service oriented,\u201d the Carthage, Mo., product said. \u201cI became more about my community and the people around me. Being able to be part of Mizzou \u201939 has honestly been humbling and a huge honor.\u201d\nHis service work and his mentor, Associate Law Professor Carli Conklin, also helped him carve out a new career path, one that ties into his love of helping others in need. Splitter will head to law school after earning his degree from Mizzou Engineering.\n\u201cJust being able to be a part of something and to change the culture of whatever community might be impacted, I think I\u2019d have a good chance to do that as a lawyer,\u201d he said.",

        "raw_content": "Aftershocks, Supply Shortage Hinder Quake Rescue\nContinual aftershocks and insufficient relief supplies are hampering the rescue efforts in southwest China's Sichuan, 36 hours after a powerful tremor hit the province.\nThe latest statistics showed that at least 186 people have been confirmed dead and more than 1.5 million affected as of Sunday night, according to the provincial relief authorities.\nRescuers are racing against the \"critical first 72 hours after the disaster\" to comb the quake rubble and reach every household in the epicenter of Lushan and its neighboring counties affected by a 7.0-magnitude earthquake that jolted the city of Ya'an early Saturday.\nOver 1,700 aftershocks have been monitored in Lushan as of 10 p.m., with the strongest measuring 5.4-magnitude, making the already ramshackle houses even more dangerous and the rescue efforts more life-threatening.\nA rescue excavator plunged off a 300-meter deep cliff in the morning in Ya'an's quake-hit Baoxing County. The number of casualties has remained unknown as of Sunday night.\n\"LIFELINE\" RESUMES\nAs of 5 p.m., traffic has resumed on the road linking Baoxing to its neighboring counties of Lushan and Xiaojin and the City of Dujiangyan, resuming transportation of the stranded relief supplies to the county after its 33 hours' post-quake isolation, according to the Sichuan Provincial Department of Transportation.\nThe road is dubbed as the relief \"lifeline\" by rescuers.\nSeveral rescue teams managed to reach Baoxing, which has a population of 60,000 and had remained hard to access after the quake. At least 26 locals have been confirmed dead with another 2,500 being injured as of Sunday morning, according to county head Ma Jun.\n\"The top priority is to save lives,\" said Ma. \"Meanwhile, we'll resettle the residents and reopen roads.\"\nAltogether 40,000 homeless Baoxing residents are waiting to be relocated as most houses in Lingguan Township and Daxi Village in the county have suffered damage.\nAirborne remote sensing images showed that more than 60 percent of buildings in the county seat had suffered damage. Latest statistics show the quake collapsed more than 26,400 houses and damaged 214 reservoirs.\nPower supplies have not been fully restored in Baoxing, many parts of which are still shrouded in darkness on Sunday night.\nQuake survivors in Lushan County are in urgent need of water, food and tents. Xinhua reporters witnessed that residents were waiting for relief goods along the roads linking remote mountain towns in Lushan. Children held up cardboard describing their distress. \"500 people, no food, no water, no tents,\" read a paperboard.\n\"I had no food for a whole day,\" said a resident in the Wangjia Village of Longmen Township in Lushan.\nThe villager was queuing for mineral water dished out by Chen Guangbiao, a high-profile Chinese philanthropist.\nChen said he distributed 1,000 quilts and 1,000 kg of bread while promising to raise 2.3 million yuan (372,337 U.S. dollars) for the quake-stricken region.\nBut, many of the villagers still gathered at the road near the gate of the village, waiting for the arrival of the rescue teams, as all their food had been buried in the debris.\nThe county partially regained access to water supply after a water plant resumed production at 1 pm. About 100,000 residents in Lushan could get water for emergency use, local authorities said.\nIn the Zhongli Township, 20 km north of the Ya'an City proper, local villagers have set up make-shift tents with any possible materials at hand.\nIn Baoxing, many local residents spent the night outdoors, in short of food, water and clothing, as there were not enough tents for every family and people were afraid of returning to their ramshackle homes to get supplies amid constant aftershocks.\nPOURING AIDS\nChinese Premier Li Keqiang on Sunday urged the country's railway and transportation departments to make every effort to facilitate the entry of tents, quilts and other materials into the quake-hit area.\nWith resumed traffic and eased traffic jams on more roads, relief supplies are reaching an increasing number of the needy survivors.\nAbout 12,700 tents, 34,100 quilts and 12,700 camp beds, as well as 12,700 tons of food and drinking water, have arrived at the quake-hit zone as of 2 p.m., said Zhong Mian, vice governor of Sichuan.\nLocal government has relocated 171,000 people whose houses were toppled or damaged in the quakes, Zhong said.\nThe survivors are also helping themselves. In one of the relocation sites in Lushan's Baosheng Township, over 100 people are handing each other dishes, sharing the food they cooked with meat and vegetables they risked their lives to fetch from their damaged houses.\n\"My food is also theirs,\" one of them told Xinhua.\nAs of Sunday afternoon, water had been drained off from five reservoirs in Lushan, which suffered cracks and leakage and had posed a threat to people living in the lower reaches, to ensure the local residents' safety, according to a Lushan County government statement.\nThe quake-stricken area is expected to receive rainfall in the following three days, according to the Sichuan Provincial Meteorological Observatory.\nThe institute warned that rescuers should be aware of the secondary disasters such as falling rocks and landslides triggered by continual aftershocks, which have already caused great difficulties for the rescuers.\nOn the road linking Lushan and Baoxing, where the traffic has been newly restored, rolling stones triggered by the aftershocks kept hitting the roof of the passing vehicles.\n\"It is like being hit by 'an intense shower',\" said Sun Tiexiang, a Xinhua reporter who was traveling with the car of a local medical team.\nBao Yuhuai, a senior officer with an armed police rescue team in Lushan told Xinhua that aftershocks and the ensuing landslides are the biggest challenges in road clearing.\n\"Some sections we just cleared have been buried by falling stones after the aftershocks,\" he said.\nBut the nonstop rescue did pay off. According to the head office of China's armed police, 5,800 police staff have saved 103 people in quake hit areas.\nMore than 2,300 firemen who are engaged in rescue work have saved 96 people, according to China's Ministry of Public Security.\nThe total number of the people saved in the quake region, however, is not immediately known.\nIn the small hours on Sunday, a 12-year-old girl, pulled out of her collapsed house in Lushan by rescuers nearly two hours after the quake, came to herself from a nearly 14-hour coma thanks to a major chest operation in a military hospital in Chengdu, capital of Sichuan.\n\"It's definitely a difficult operation in such a situation,\" said Su Yonglin, the vice head of the hospital. \"But it is a very successful one.\"",

        "raw_content": "And now, meet the band....\nFor as long as i can remember, music has been a huge part of my life. From the time I was a little girl, my father (unbeknownst to me) was teaching me the art of harmonizing, and his love of music also became mine.\nIn the summer of 2013, the Lord brought into my life, 2 people who I love dearly and know I was meant to be united with in music, hence in the fall of 2014, Epilogue was born. Now as a group of 6, these people are the reason my love for music lives on.\nSo if it has a good beat and great harmonies, regardless of genre, I'm there!\nEpilogue is my third, (and hopefully last) band. I was the druimmer and creator of Sanity Check, a central NJ based band that did a lot of guitar rock and blues. But has now disbanded.\nLikewise, my second band, The Hoovers, also did a lot of guitar rock and is still going strong today.\nSince moving to PA, I started to feel that need to play and came across some great vocalists and decided to give it another go. I've been playing drums for 15 years or so and Epilogue has already gotten those old juices flowing again.\nMy influences include Artimus Pyle, Neil Peart, Peter Criss and Tommy Lee. My favorite bands pretty much follow those drummers...Lynurd Skynyrd, Rush, Kiss and Motley Crue.\nMy love of music was born as a result of the countless hours I spent listening to my father sing while he played his guitar. His melodic voice wrapped around each note, falling upon the ear like a warm blanket, enveloping you as you swayed to his hypnotic rhythym. As I got older, my brother and I would perform \"concerts\" for the family, singing our hearts out for a loving, and of course bias, audience.\nAs the years passed I found myself singing in choirs or on occasion at a special event. It was not until recently and only at the urging of my boyfriend Dave, that I opted to sing with a band...and Epilogue was born.\nLead/Rhythm Guitar\nI've been a musician since 1979, and have performed in New York City, Washington DC, Charlottesville, VA, Ithaca, NY as well as several venues in the Williamsport/Lewisburg area.\nThrough the years I've had the opportunity to play with Dickey Betts, The Nighthawks, jazz guitarist Carl Filipiak and drummer Steve Mitchell.\nI grew up playing classical music. However, I have always liked rock and pop music, and so I have been playing electric bass in various places in central and northeastern Pennsylvania. It's good to be in a band like Epilogue, where I share a lot of musical interests with the other players.\nJohn has been part of the Pennsylvania music scene for many years. Growing up in the Susquehanna Valley, he had the opportunity to play in many of the areas local bands. He has played keyboards for local favorites, Jaysenn Grand, Jesse, Full Circle, Topaz, Bryce Canyon, Haphazard, the McKabes and the Jesse Wade Gang. John has shared the stage with national acts such as Lee Greenwood, Tracy Byrd, Jerry Reed, Ricochet, Jason Michael Carroll, and Montgomery Gentry. He has also played keyboards for Marie Levin, a national touring Reba McEntire impersonator, and has had the privilege to play keyboards with Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert.",

        "raw_content": "Why Young People Are Drawn To ISIS\nA group of three young Somali-Americans from Minneapolis were convicted Friday of attempting to travel to Syria to join ISIS and commit murder. They now face life in prison. Six of their friends were also part of the plan and have pled guilty to terrorism charges. Among the central questions of the trial were - what motivated the young men? - and who convinced them to try to join ISIS?\nThe court asked our next guest for help in answering those questions. His name is Daniel Koehler. He's a German researcher and renowned expert in deradicalization. The judge in this case asked him to evaluate some of the young men who had already pleaded guilty and to develop a program that might rehabilitate them. Mr. Koehler gave us his assessment.\nDANIEL KOEHLER: First of all, I'm trying to look at what I call the radicalization recipe - experiences of racism, bullying, fights in the family, lack of education or job - anything that really, really frustrates you and alienates you from your hosting society. And the second set of factors are positive factors - quests for justice, significance, honor, freedom; helping to defend the poor, the weak; changing society for good.\nFor every single person that radicalizes in a violent extremist way, be it jihadi extremism or neo-Nazi white supremacism, they have an individual mixture of these factors. It helps to make sense of what is not really going well in their lives, but also to help them understand what is right and wrong and translate it into positive, proactive action.\nMARTIN: How do you do that?\nKOEHLER: I talk to them. I listen to them. Yes, honestly, I talk to people who have been close to them, sometimes teachers, friends, brothers and sisters, coaches from their basketball team, social workers. I look at every available piece of information - their social media accounts. I take together what I can get. And most importantly, I listen to them.\nMARTIN: So that's how you assess the motivations. But how do you prescribe a rehabilitation regimen? Do you tell someone they should read certain books? Do they need to go to a certain kind of counseling? Do they have to do volunteer work?\nKOEHLER: The first step, really, is to identify the driving factors. Then, I can look into my toolbox - and counseling is part of it, mentoring is part of it - religious tools in counseling, social tools in counseling, educational and psychological. And you can look into finding a person, a mentor that is, by his or her biography, interesting to these kids. For example, just an example - someone to go to Syria to help women and children, to defend these poor and weak who are slaughtered every day - and they are willing to give up their lives because they are attracted by this heroism - this honorable, almost shining knight in armor thing - story and narrative.\nSo it would make sense, as part of the solution, to bring them in contact with a mentor, for example, a paramedic or a retired police officer who share certain characteristics that bind them together - that helps them to connect. They are also part of this hero narrative. Thereby, you can show them that there are human beings from the other side who share the same values, the same ideas and interests.\nMARTIN: You mentioned religion as an important component of all of this. What does that look like? How do you use religion or religious leaders in deradicalization programs?\nKOEHLER: When I talk about ideological deradicalization, this can include a religious component. Sometimes, they are driven by a specific religious or theological interpretation of Islam that they find interesting or find compelling, sometimes not. In my experience, the majority of these adolescents is rather not driven by a theological motive. They are driven by this warrior spirit, this lead identity of the mujahideen of fighting, defending the poor and fighting to establish the caliphate. They're not really interested in going into the depth of theological discourse.\nIt can even be dangerous. A failed or ill-designed deradicalization program is not just a waste of money. It actually raises the risk of recidivism and terrorism because if you send in the imam and have no idea what they are doing and what they talk about and the kids in prison win the argument, you will inoculate them. You make them stronger as recruiters. And this is what we have to avoid, which is why, sometimes, it completely makes no sense to use a religious authority in the counseling. And sometimes, it is absolutely the right thing to do.\nMARTIN: How do you know if someone truly is rehabilitated? It's complicated, I imagine. I mean, there are cases, one in particular, the head of al-Qaida's arm in Yemen was a graduate of a rehabilitation program in Saudi Arabia. He returned to the fight. How do you avoid that kind of situation?\nKOEHLER: I think that's a very, very legitimate question. And let me say that definitely there are persons that cannot be rehabilitated. Rehabilitation, deradicalization is an additional tool for a certain percentage of those who are willing to accept that counseling and that help. It is not possible to deradicalize and rehabilitate each and every one. It's simply not possible. Every social program has a certain rate of recidivism or failure. All of them will be supervised by the authorities - so by the intelligence - for a very long period of time. And they won't be able to board a plane for a long period of time.\nReally, it's a step-by-step process, starting from a very careful, slow, guided process and slowly taking out the (unintelligible) security agencies and until we are convinced - these specialized counselors that I have trained - until they are convinced that the positive change is lasting, is sustainable and is honest.\nMARTIN: You have been training probation officers here in the U.S. So you clearly believe there is a role for law enforcement. When we take this case for example, the men you interviewed in Minneapolis - they pleaded guilty. They will serve some time in prison in addition to any kind of deradicalization program that you propose. What do you think the law enforcement response should be in these cases in general - rehabilitation and jail, just rehabilitation and how do you figure that out?\nKOEHLER: The crux here really is - or the main responsibility for the courts - for the judges is to figure out the percentage or the relationship between taking the responsibility for what they've done, meaning going to prison for a certain amount of years, and giving them a chance to change. They are 19, 20, 21 years old. They have their lives ahead of them. Many of them have been lured by very sophisticated recruiters and the network of a group of terrorist organizations that is highly sophisticated. I honestly believe that giving people a second chance to change is one of the core principles of a democratic, pluralistic society.\nMARTIN: You said that, at some level, this is about listening to someone, looking in their eyes and deciding if you're going to believe them that they have had a real change of heart. That is a leap of faith to some degree. Are you mostly right? Have you ever been wrong?\nKOEHLER: That's a very complicated question because many of these cases, they take years before really a, more or less, final direction is visible. Let me say - I am not naive. I know that when they're sitting in front of me and the families are sitting in front of me or their friends, they have an agenda. They have a clear goal. These kids - of course they do not want to be in prison 15 years or longer. Of course, they want to get out. Of course, they want to show me that they have been misled and that they're terribly sorry. I know that.\nWhat I'm looking for is a specific kind of narrative. If I see the willingness to change and remorse and guilt in a way that they hopefully cannot fake - I'm not perfect, so I won't say I've been always right. The key to success here is really a coordinated approach. My assessment will not alone determine the sentence. So in the end, it's a multifold approach. And we're not talking about letting them out in the hand of the social worker and that's it. Whatever happens, it will be a long, guided, coordinated process with specialized trained counselor or probation officer with multiple agencies being involved to watching these kids - that they are not actually going back and planning something or acting illegal again.\nMARTIN: Daniel Koehler is the director of the German Institute on Radicalization and Deradicalization Studies. He joined us via Skype. Mr. Koehler, thank you so much.\nKOEHLER: Thank you for having me. My pleasure.",

        "raw_content": "In the past year we have seen the impacts that civil war, international armed conflict, and natural disasters have had in causing the mass displacement of refugees and environmental refugees. While survivors of the South Sudanese conflict are being internally displaced, refugees from Syria are being relocated around the globe. In both of these situations the displaced persons can migrate or be in refugee camps where their native language is not spoken. Caleb Everett, anthropological linguistics professor at the University of Miami, explains, \u201cLanguage evolves in relation to where it\u2019s spoken. Language does not evolve in a vacuum, it is not impervious to the effects of environment. Just as ecologies impact human behavior and the adaptive processes of human cultures in myriad ways, they seem to also influence the ways in which languages develop.\u201d Therefore, if through processes of forced migration individuals are relocated to a different climate zone than the one that they were previously residing in, it may have an effect on their future ability to speak their native language in the new region. For example, \u201cBy mapping the distribution of more than 3,700 tonal and non-tonal languages, Everett and his colleagues found that tonal languages tend to cluster in warm, humid areas. And they\u2019re 10 times less prevalent in dry, subfreezing climes, like Siberia, compared with non-tonal languages.\u201d\nLanguage death can occur more rapidly than one would expect. Mass migration can expedite the loss of language leaving few to no remaining speakers to record its historiological, geographical, and cultural influence on societies:\nMigration also plays a large role in language change and language death. When speakers of Proto-Indo-European migrated to most of Europe and large parts of Asia between 6,000 and 8,000 years ago, they probably brought about massive language change and language death. In Western Europe, Basque could possibly be the only modern language that survived the influx of the Indo-Europeans.\nIslands and peninsular regions are particularly vulnerable to experiencing climate-induced natural disasters. These regions are often linguistically dense, such as Vanuatu with, \u201d 110 indigenous languages spoken in an area of about 15,000 square kilometres (about 6,000 square miles)\u2014that\u2019s about one language for every 136 square kilometres.\u201dAs demonstrated by Greenberg\u2019s Diversity Index, approximately 60% of the top ten most linguistically diverse nations are either peninsular or are surrounded by water entirely. This poses a threat to the survival of their languages and dialects as sea levels rise and the likelihood of natural disasters continue to increase. The following chart published by the Economist measures this diversity based on the volume of indigenous languages spoken in a given country.\nInterestingly, Researchers Al\u00edcia Adser\u00e0 and Mariola Pytlikov\u00e1 have found that some migratory patterns can be motivated by an individual\u2019s native language:\n\u2026migration rates are higher between countries whose languages are more similar. Migration flows to a country with the same first official language as that in the origin country are around 20% higher than those to a destination with the most distant language, even after taking account of differences in other socio-economic conditions between origin and destination countries.\nIf this pattern were to persist, linguistic communities would be created in the destination countries that would foster the continuation of these languages. Jose Mira of the Universidade de Santiago de Compostela writes in the MIT Technology Review, \u201cAn exogenous injection of just a few speakers into one group or another can determine whether a language lives or dies,\u201d It is the outcome of this competition between languages that can change the course of history for a community, though bilingual individuals have an advantage according to this research, \u201cWhen bilinguals are taken into account, the models allow for a co-evolution of two languages, such as Galician and Castillian in north west Spain.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "In September, the U.N. General Assembly will vote on whether to recognize Palestine as an independent and sovereign state with full rights in the United Nations. In many ways, this would appear to be a reasonable and logical step. Whatever the Palestinians once were, they are clearly a nation in the simplest and most important sense \u2014 namely, they think of themselves as a nation. Nations are created by historical circumstances, and those circumstances have given rise to a Palestinian nation. Under the principle of the United Nations and the theory of the right to national self-determination, which is the moral foundation of the modern theory of nationalism, a nation has a right to a state, and that state has a place in the family of nations. In this sense, the U.N. vote will be unexceptional.\nHowever, when the United Nations votes on Palestinian statehood, it will intersect with other realities and other historical processes. First, it is one thing to declare a Palestinian state; it is quite another thing to create one. The Palestinians are deeply divided between two views of what the Palestinian nation ought to be, a division not easily overcome. Second, this vote will come at a time when two of Israel\u2019s neighbors are coping with their own internal issues. Syria is in chaos, with an extended and significant resistance against the regime having emerged. Meanwhile, Egypt is struggling with internal tension over the fall of President Hosni Mubarak and the future of the military junta that replaced him. Add to this the U.S. withdrawal from Iraq and the potential rise of Iranian power, and the potential recognition of a Palestinian state \u2014 while perfectly logical in an abstract sense \u2014 becomes an event that can force a regional crisis in the midst of ongoing regional crises. It thus is a vote that could have significant consequences.\nThe Palestinian Divide\nLet\u2019s begin with the issue not of the right of a nation to have a state but of the nature of a Palestinian state under current circumstances. The Palestinians are split into two major factions. The first, Fatah, dominates the West Bank. Fatah derives its ideology from the older, secular Pan-Arab movement. Historically, Fatah saw the Palestinians as a state within the Arab nation. The second, Hamas, dominates Gaza. Unlike Fatah, it sees the Palestinians as forming part of a broader Islamist uprising, one in which Hamas is the dominant Islamist force of the Palestinian people.\nThe Pan-Arab rising is moribund. Where it once threatened the existence of Muslim states, like the Arab monarchies, it is now itself threatened. Mubarak, Syrian President Bashar al Assad and Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi all represented the old Pan-Arab vision. A much better way to understand the \u201cArab Spring\u201d is that it represented the decay of such regimes that were vibrant when they came to power in the late 1960s and early 1970s but have fallen into ideological meaninglessness. Fatah is part of this grouping, and while it still speaks for Palestinian nationalism as a secular movement, beyond that it is isolated from broader trends in the region. It is both at odds with rising religiosity and simultaneously mistrusted by the monarchies it tried to overthrow. Yet it controls the Palestinian proto-state, the Palestinian National Authority, and thus will be claiming a U.N. vote on Palestinian statehood. Hamas, on the other hand, is very much representative of current trends in the Islamic world and holds significant popular support, yet it is not clear that it holds a majority position in the Palestinian nation.\nAll nations have ideological divisions, but the Palestinians are divided over the fundamental question of the Palestinian nation\u2019s identity. Fatah sees itself as part of a secular Arab world that is on the defensive. Hamas envisions the Palestinian nation as an Islamic state forming in the context of a region-wide Islamist rising. Neither is in a position to speak authoritatively for the Palestinian people, and the things that divide them cut to the heart of the nation. As important, each has a different view of its future relations with Israel. Fatah has accepted, in practice, the idea of Israel\u2019s permanence as a state and the need of the Palestinians to accommodate themselves to the reality. Hamas has rejected it.\nThe U.N. decision raises the stakes in this debate within the Palestinian nation that could lead to intense conflict. As vicious as the battle between Hamas and Fatah has been, an uneasy truce has existed over recent years. Now, there could emerge an internationally legitimized state, and control of that state will matter more than ever before. Whoever controls the state defines what the Palestinians are, and it becomes increasingly difficult to suspend the argument for a temporary truce. Rather than settling anything, or putting Israel on the defensive, the vote will compel a Palestinian crisis.\nFatah has an advantage in any vote on Palestinian statehood: It enjoys far more international support than Hamas does. Europeans and Americans see it as friendly to their interests and less hostile to Israel. The Saudis and others may distrust Fatah from past conflicts, but in the end they fear radical Islamists and Iran and so require American support at a time when the Americans have tired of playing in what some Americans call the \u201csandbox.\u201d However reluctantly, while aiding Hamas, the Saudis are more comfortable with Fatah. And of course, the embattled Arabist regimes, whatever tactical shifts there may have been, spring from the same soil as Fatah. While Fatah is the preferred Palestinian partner for many, Hamas can also use that reality to portray Fatah as colluding with Israel against the Palestinian people during a confrontation.\nFor its part, Hamas has the support of Islamists in the region, including Shiite Iranians, but that is an explosive mix to base a strategy on. Hamas must break its isolation if it is to counter the tired but real power of Fatah. Symbolic flotillas from Turkey are comforting, but Hamas needs an end to Egyptian hostility to Hamas more than anything.\nEgypt\u2019s Role and Fatah on the Defensive\nEgypt is the power that geographically isolates Hamas through its treaty with Israel and with its still-functional blockade on Gaza. More than anyone, Hamas needs genuine regime change in Egypt. The new regime it needs is not a liberal democracy but one in which Islamist forces supportive of Hamas, namely the Muslim Brotherhood, come to power.\nAt the moment, that is not likely. Egypt\u2019s military has retained a remarkable degree of control, its opposition groups are divided between secular and religious elements, and the religious elements are further divided among themselves \u2014 as well as penetrated by an Egyptian security apparatus that has made war on them for years. As it stands, Egypt is not likely to evolve in a direction favorable to Hamas. Therefore, Hamas needs to redefine the political situation in Egypt to convert a powerful enemy into a powerful friend.\nThough it is not easy for a small movement to redefine a large nation, in this case, it could perhaps happen. There is a broad sense of unhappiness in Egypt over Egypt\u2019s treaty with Israel, an issue that comes to the fore when Israel and the Palestinians are fighting. As in other Arab countries, passions surge in Egypt when the Palestinians are fighting the Israelis.\nUnder Mubarak, these passions were readily contained in Egypt. Now the Egyptian regime unquestionably is vulnerable, and pro-Palestinian feelings cut across most, if not all, opposition groups. It is a singular, unifying force that might suffice to break the military\u2019s power, or at least to force the military to shift its Israeli policy.\nHamas in conflict with Israel as the United Nations votes for a Palestinian state also places Fatah on the political defensive among the Palestinians. Fatah cooperation with Israel while Gaza is at war would undermine Fatah, possibly pushing Fatah to align with Hamas. Having the U.N. vote take place while Gaza is at war, a vote possibly accompanied by General Assembly condemnation of Israel, could redefine the region.\nLast week\u2019s attack on the Eilat road should be understood in this context. Some are hypothesizing that new Islamist groups forming in the Sinai or Palestinian groups in Gaza operating outside Hamas\u2019 control carried out the attack. But while such organizations might formally be separate from Hamas, I find it difficult to believe that Hamas, with an excellent intelligence service inside Gaza and among the Islamist groups in the Sinai, would not at least have known these groups\u2019 broad intentions and would not have been in a position to stop them. Just as Fatah created Black September in the 1970s, a group that appeared separate from Fatah but was in fact covertly part of it, the strategy of creating new organizations to take the blame for conflicts is an old tactic both for the Palestinians and throughout the world.\nHamas\u2019 ideal attack would offer it plausible deniability \u2014 allowing it to argue it did not even know an attack was imminent, much less carry it out \u2014 and trigger an Israeli attack on Gaza. Such a scenario casts Israel as the aggressor and Hamas as the victim, permitting Hamas to frame the war to maximum effect in Egypt and among the Palestinians, as well as in the wider Islamic world and in Europe.\nRegional Implications and Israel\u2019s Dilemma\nThe matter goes beyond Hamas. The Syrian regime is currently fighting for its life against its majority Sunni population. It has survived thus far, but it needs to redefine the conflict. The Iranians and Hezbollah are among those most concerned with the fall of the Syrian regime. Syria has been Iran\u2019s one significant ally, one strategically positioned to enhance Iranian influence in the Levant. Its fall would be a strategic setback for Iran at a time when Tehran is looking to enhance its position with the U.S. withdrawal from Iraq. Iran, which sees the uprising as engineered by its enemies \u2014 the United States, Saudi Arabia and Turkey \u2014 understandably wants al Assad to survive.\nMeanwhile, the fall of Syria would leave Hezbollah \u2014 which is highly dependent on the current Syrian regime and is in large part an extension of Syrian policy in Lebanon \u2014 wholly dependent on Iran. And Iran without its Syrian ally is very far away from Hezbollah. Like Tehran, Hezbollah thus also wants al Assad to survive. Hezbollah joining Hamas in a confrontation with Israel would take the focus off the al Assad regime and portray his opponents as undermining resistance to Israel. Joining a war with Israel also would make it easier for Hezbollah to weather the fall of al Assad should his opponents prevail. It would help Hezbollah create a moral foundation for itself independent of Syria. Hezbollah\u2019s ability to force a draw with Israel in 2006 constituted a victory for the radical Islamist group that increased its credibility dramatically.\nThe 2006 military confrontation was also a victory for Damascus, as it showed the Islamic world that Syria was the only nation-state supporting effective resistance to Israel. It also showed Israel and the United States that Syria alone could control Hezbollah and that forcing Syria out of Lebanon was a strategic error on the part of Israel and the United States.\nFaced with this dynamic, it will be difficult for Fatah to maintain its relationship with Israel. Indeed, Fatah could be forced to initiate an intifada, something it would greatly prefer to avoid, as this would undermine what economic development the West Bank has experienced.\nIsrael therefore conceivably could face conflict in Gaza, a conflict along the Lebanese border and a rising in the West Bank, something it clearly knows. In a rare move, Israel announced plans to call up reserves in September. Though preannouncements of such things are not common, Israel wants to signal resolution.\nIsrael has two strategies in the face of the potential storm. One is a devastating attack on Gaza followed by rotating forces to the north to deal with Hezbollah and intense suppression of an intifada. Dealing with Gaza fast and hard is the key if the intention is to abort the evolution I laid out. But the problem here is that the three-front scenario I laid out is simply a possibility; there is no certainty here. If Israel initiates conflict in Gaza and fails, it risks making a possibility into a certainty \u2014 and Israel has not had many stunning victories for several decades. It could also create a crisis for Egypt\u2019s military rulers, not something the Israelis want.\nIsrael also simply could absorb the attacks from Hamas to make Israel appear the victim. But seeking sympathy is not likely to work given how Palestinians have managed to shape global opinion. Moreover, we would expect Hamas to repeat its attacks to the point that Israel no longer could decline combat.\nWar thus benefits Hamas (even if Hamas maintains plausible deniability by having others commit the attacks), a war Hezbollah has good reason to enter at such a stage and that Fatah does not want but could be forced into. Such a war could shift the Egyptian dynamic significantly to Hamas\u2019 advantage, while Iran would certainly want al-Assad to be able to say to Syrians that a war with Israel is no time for a civil war in Syria. Israel would thus find itself fighting three battles simultaneously. The only way to do that is to be intensely aggressive, making moderation strategically difficult.\nIsrael responded modestly compared to the past after the Eilat incident, mounting only limited attacks on Gaza against mostly members of the Palestinian Resistance Committees, an umbrella group known to have links with Hamas. Nevertheless, Hamas has made clear that its de facto truce with Israel was no longer assured. The issue now is what Hamas is prepared to do and whether Hamas supporters, Saudi Arabia in particular, can force them to control anti-Israeli activities in the region. The Saudis want al Assad to fall, and they do not want a radical regime in Egypt. Above all, they do not want Iran\u2019s hand strengthened. But it is never clear how much influence the Saudis or Egyptians have over Hamas. For Hamas, this is emerging as the perfect moment, and it is hard to believe that even the Saudis can restrain them. As for the Israelis, what will happen depends on what others decide \u2014 which is the fundamental strategic problem that Israel has.",

It helps you stay organized and on track, gain a better understanding of your market, confirm that your financial model is realistic, and create a long-term vision and strategy. The presenters will introduce you to the essential elements for preparing a plan for business success. They will identify content and format for a business plan--including sources of information to aid in the development of your business plan and how to read and use basic financial statements. A business plan is one piece of information that potential lenders, incubators, investors, and economic development organizations will want before making a decision to loan money or invest. You should understand that a business plan is also a valuable internal tool, even when not required for the benefit of investors or loan officers. A business plan may force you to think about your idea in new ways and to question the validity of your product/service target markets. It can serve as a guide or benchmark to allow you to track your progress and to stay committed to your long-term goals. If you have partners, it can help avoid misunderstandings. It will help you to better describe and to speak more concisely about your company. All these elements of a business plan can contribute to successful implementation of your business idea.\nSpeaker: to come\n2018-05-18T09:00:00-0500 2018-05-18T11:00:00-0500 Preparing a Business Plan and Financial Statements 1703 W 5th.

        "raw_content": "Article & Photos Provided by T&B Foundation\nPhotos by Tika Siburt\n\u201cT&B Foundation is named after two special little boys, Tyler Barnett and Brayden Bateman. Here are their stories:\nTyler was diagnosed with bilateral retinoblastoma (eye cancer) on February 15, 2011 at 2 months old. After six months of systemic chemotherapy and a year of laser and cryotherapy (freezing treatment), the cancer in Tyler\u2019s right eye had been destroyed. Sadly, tiny tumors (seeds) in his left eye were too difficult to overcome, and his eye was removed on July 12, 2012 to protect his life. Tyler received his prosthetic eye 6 weeks later and it looks amazing! Most people can\u2019t even tell it\u2019s fake! At Tyler\u2019s most recent EUA in September 2013 his eyes looked perfect and the doctor believes he will have 20/20 in his right eye. (You can read more about Tyler\u2019s story here.)\nBrayden was also diagnosed with bilateral retinoblastoma on April 15, 2009 at 2 weeks old and started chemo at 20 days old. Brayden has endured an uphill road to get to where he is today. 9 tumors (6 in his left eye and 3 in his right eye), 3 cysts in his brain, 9 rounds of systemic chemo, a radioactive plaque, chicken pox in the middle of chemo, multiple hospital admissions for fever, 3 surgeries to place / remove ports and central lines, 13 MRIs, two seizures, 21 EUAs and laser eye surgeries. Brayden has fought chronic infections after chemo due to a compromised immune system the past 3 years and is beginning treatment to hopefully fix what the chemo damaged while saving his life, his eyes and his vision. Brayden\u2019s most recent EUA in September 2013 revealed that all of Brayden\u2019s tumors are stable and he has 20/40 vision in his right eye and 20/80 vision in his left eye. (You can read more about Brayden\u2019s story here.)\nNow it is time for our families to give back and we can\u2019t think of a better way than to help make the road a little easier for those kids fighting cancer like Brayden and Tyler! We, the moms of Tyler and Brayden, began this organization with Patient Pouches in mind. Our sons were treated at Wills Eye Institute in Philadelphia. The surgical center where they would go for their EUAs (exams under anesthesia) was aimed at adults with a very limited selection of toys for kids. We knew that we wanted to somehow provide young cancer patients a distraction from all the waiting and give them something fun to do.\nPatient Pouches include lots of fun activities aimed at different age ranges. Patient Pouches are intended to be used only at appointments that the children may have, whether they\u2019re receiving chemo, going into surgery, or just sitting in the waiting room. Having a special Patient Pouch filled with fun activities for them to play with only when they\u2019re at appointments will help the time pass by and make the toys extra special.\nWe came up with this idea back in June and through word of mouth from our friends and family and the power of Facebook we have continued to grow since. Now our Facebook page is over 300 likes and we just started a T&B Twitter account.\nEveryone who hears about Patient Pouches just loves the idea and wants to help out! We created a Wish List of all the items we would need to make the pouches and just started getting floods of donations sent to us. Many people went to stores to buy items off our list while others simply sent us gift cards and we did all the shopping for them!\nThanks to everyone\u2019s donations we were able to officially launch Patient Pouches at Wills Eye on September 6, 2013 with 172 pouches!! Our plan is to continue re-filling the supply of Patient Pouches at Wills Eye every month or so whenever more are needed. Once we have completely succeeded at fulfilling the needs of all the patients at Wills Eye our goal is to branch out and start sending Patient Pouches to other hospitals.\nAt this point we are working on getting our 501(c)3 nonprofit status so we will be able to accept monetary donations to really help T&B Foundation grow.\nFor more information on T&B Foundation and our first project, Patient Pouches, like us on Facebook at http://facebook.com/TandBFoundation or find us on twitter at http://twitter.com/TandBFoundation.

        "title": "Seeds of Terror: Heroin, the Taliban and al Qaeda - Gretchen Peters interview by Failure magazine",
        "raw_content": "How heroin is bankrolling the Taliban and al Qaeda.\nCover image of \u201cSeeds of Terror.\u201d Soldier by AFP stringer, poppy fields and mountains by Paula Bronstein.\n\u201cEight years after 9/11, the single greatest failure in the war on terror is not that Osama bin Laden continues to elude capture, or that the Taliban has staged a comeback, or even that al Qaeda is regrouping in Pakistan\u2019s tribal areas and probably planning fresh attacks on the West. Rather, it\u2019s the spectacular incapacity of western law enforcement to disrupt the flow of money that is keeping their networks afloat.\u201d So observes Gretchen Peters in \u201cSeeds of Terror: How Heroin is Bankrolling the Taliban and Al Qaeda\u201d (Thomas Dunne Books), in which she argues that the best\u2014and perhaps only\u2014way to defeat the insurgents is to cut them off from their drug earnings.\nIn the following far-ranging interview with Failure, Peters discusses the Obama Administration\u2019s approach to Afghanistan, the evolution of the Taliban, the role corruption plays in perpetuating the drug trade, and her own personal experiences reporting from one of the most dangerous regions in the world.\nThe war in Afghanistan has received increased media attention recently. Why?\nIn part, because it is going badly. By some estimates the Taliban now controls or dominates as much as sixty percent of Afghan territory, and casualty rates are higher than ever. Also, President Obama said that Afghanistan would be one of his central foreign policy efforts. He said he would refocus attention on the war in Afghanistan and finish it the way it should have been finished from the start.\nHow does the Obama Administration\u2019s approach to Afghanistan differ from that of the Bush Administration?\nI, among others, am confused about what the Obama Administration intends to do. At this point, there seems to be growing divide between the White House and the Pentagon over the best option. Lt. General Stanley McChrystal has asked for a troop increase to launch a counter-insurgency campaign. However, senior White House officials appear to be pushing for a scaled-back option. Although the official numbers aren\u2019t out, it\u2019s estimated that General McChrystal is going to ask for between ten and forty thousand more American troops. The idea is that many will focus on training local forces and getting the local army and police up to speed, so they can take care of Afghanistan and U.S. troops can come home. But there is growing skepticism in the White House that the American public will be willing to send more troops and foot the bill for such an enormous counter-insurgency operation.\nObama has been criticized for not explaining why we\u2019re still in Afghanistan. Is that a fair criticism?\nA fair criticism is that the Obama Administration has failed to clearly define what it sees as a successful outcome in Afghanistan. Obama has said that failure in Afghanistan is not an option, but he hasn\u2019t defined what success would be.\nFrom reading news reports and speaking to a friend there, it seems that many Afghans are frustrated by the recent election and discouraged by this fig leaf of a democracy that the international community has hung on Afghanistan. Many parts of the country are run by warlords, and in parts of the south, the Taliban seems to be providing more effective governance than the government run by Hamid Karzai. That is seriously undercutting the confidence of the Afghan people in the Kabul regime.\nWhat is amazing to me, having just moved back to the United States [after covering the conflict since 9/11] is that most people in this country seem to have forgotten about the attacks in New York and Washington. Americans seem to have forgotten that our nation set out to end the conditions that led to those attacks. In my opinion, walking away from Afghanistan\u2014or scaling back\u2014is not an option. Well, it\u2019s an option, but it\u2019s one that leaves the United States very vulnerable to another major terrorist attack.\nUntil the conditions that make Afghanistan and Pakistan havens for extremists and terror groups are removed, and until there is better local governance, the United States and its allies are going to continue to face a terrorist threat from the region.\nThe problem I have with the \u201ccounter-terrorism\u201d strategy being advocated by some officials in Washington is that it\u2019s the [same] strategy the United States and its NATO allies have pursued over the past seven years, and during that time the Taliban have gotten stronger and gained territory\u2014both in Afghanistan and Pakistan. The intelligence community claims that al Qaeda has been weakened, but the recent arrests in Colorado, New York and Texas indicate they are still plotting attacks in the U.S.\nThe strategy that General McChrystal is proposing is highly complex and will be immensely difficult to implement. But I worry that the \u201ccounter-terrorism\u201d strategy is the national security equivalent of holding your thumb in the dyke. It\u2019s not going to end the problem and eventually the flood gates will burst.\nI also worry that the Obama Administration is going to be too sensitive to the public\u2019s frustration with the war and isn\u2019t going to resource it properly. Afghanistan is a conflict that has been massively under-resourced since the very beginning. That\u2019s the reason Osama bin Laden escaped Tora Bora, that\u2019s the reason the Taliban has been able to come back, and that\u2019s the reason Pakistan is now facing a Taliban threat. There haven\u2019t been enough foreign troops, there hasn\u2019t been enough aid\u2014or the money hasn\u2019t been effectively spent\u2014and there hasn\u2019t been enough oversight. Billions of dollars have been squandered.\nWhat about the idea that Afghanistan is Obama\u2019s Vietnam?\nAfghanistan could become Obama\u2019s Vietnam if it\u2019s not handled correctly. Fighting an insurgency is very complex and requires a large number of troops, which is not cheap. However, if properly resourced and implemented I believe it will work. That said, after eight years of drift, it\u2019s going to be very hard to turn things around.\nDo you think it will take another 9/11-type attack to focus attention on how the drug trade is funding terror groups?\nI hope not. There is now much greater understanding within the military that drugs and crime are a major source of funding for the Taliban and other extremist groups. In addition to the opium trade, which provides the Taliban and other groups with hundreds of millions of dollars in profits every year, the various groups are also engaged in kidnapping, extortion, and taxing legal goods. [The Taliban] is like a shadow government that is collecting tax, putting money into central coffers, and using it for their war effort. The Taliban is really out-governing the Karzai government. I\u2019m not suggesting they are a model of good governance, but they are more effective.\nThat\u2019s a very good question. They are earning far more than they need to conduct their operations. By my estimates, the Taliban are earning as much as half a billion dollars a year off of drugs and other criminal activities.\nOn the Pakistani side of the border the potential for earning is much higher, and there is clear evidence that various groups linked to al Qaeda are deeply involved with moving drugs as they leave the region. What are they planning to do with all that money? It\u2019s something the West needs to be worried about, because you don\u2019t see evidence of Taliban commanders living large the way a major drug smuggler like Pablo Escobar did. What are they saving up for?\nThe Taliban seem more like drug smugglers than religious extremists.\nThe Taliban are in the process of morphing. I\u2019m not suggesting that they have put aside their intention of driving western forces out of Afghanistan, and I think the rising casualty rates prove that. But there is evidence that an increasing number of Taliban commanders are just in it to make a buck. This is a transformation that has been witnessed in other insurgencies. Various anti-state groups\u2014throughout history and across the world\u2014regardless of their religious base or political affiliation have become involved in crime, and then their involvement in crime changes the nature of the group over time. I think we\u2019re watching that happen in Afghanistan.\nDoesn\u2019t Islamic law forbid involvement with narcotics?\nAbsolutely. The Koran is unequivocal that the cultivation, use, or trafficking of narcotics is haram, or forbidden.\nThe Taliban use two bogus arguments to justify involvement in the opium trade. One is that it\u2019s okay to traffic in drugs at a time of jihad. I have consulted numerous Islamic experts about this and the Koran does not give a pass in times of war.\nThe other argument is that it\u2019s okay to grow opium as long as it\u2019s sold to infidels. But the majority of the opiates produced in Afghanistan are sold in predominantly Muslim countries: Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, Kazakhstan, and other Central Asian states. They are making addicts of Muslims.\nJust out of curiosity, can you describe what a poppy field looks like?\nA poppy field is quite beautiful when in bloom. The poppies are vivid pink, or sometimes red or purple in color\u2014brilliant flowers floating in a sea of green. It\u2019s sometimes hard to remember that something that looks so peaceful and beautiful produces a product that is so deadly.\nIn the book, I argue that eradication of poppy fields is not the way forward. There are thousands of farmers who grow poppy, but the farmers are as much victims of the trade as drug addicts themselves. It\u2019s very common for farmers to say they grow poppy because their lives depend on it, and I don\u2019t think they are exaggerating. In some cases they are forced to grow poppy by the traffickers and insurgents. In some cases, no one except opium merchants visits their villages, so they can\u2019t find buyers for any other crops. And in some cases, they decide to plant poppy because it sells for more than other farm products, and they need the money to get through the winter.\nA much better strategy is to go after the trafficking groups, of which there are several dozen. I\u2019m not suggesting this is easy, because they are wealthy and heavily armed. But it\u2019s a smaller target, and they really are the bad guys.\nIs the U.S. shifting away from a policy of eradication?\nYes. With the arrival of the Obama Administration there has been a dramatic shift off of eradication and onto interdiction. And there have been some major successes. Some of the biggest drug traffickers in Afghanistan and Pakistan have been captured, and many of them have been extradited to the U.S. Just recently DEA agents brought an individual named Haji Bagcho to the United States. He was a major trafficker in southeastern Afghanistan and when they captured his account books they found more than $169 million had passed through his hands in the last year alone.\nSo in your estimation the farmers would rather be growing something other than poppy?\nIn the survey I did [of dozens of Afghan farmers] the vast majority said they wanted to grow something other than poppy. There\u2019s a misperception in the U.S. that Afghan farmers grow it because they\u2019re greedy and because it makes them more money. In fact, experts who have researched what poppy farmers earn have proved that the vast majority earn very little. That\u2019s in part due to the predatory nature of the loans that the traffickers provide. The farmers end up with minute profits, if they profit at all. And the insecurity that comes along with the presence of the drug trade far outweighs any financial gains.\nAfghan farmers are no different than people anywhere. They want schools, health clinics, and security. In the war-torn south, they have none of those things.\nSpeaking of security, when reporting for the book, were you concerned about your personal safety?\nYes, there were many occasions when I worried about my safety, but in general I had a great deal of trust in the local colleagues I worked with. They went out of their way to keep me safe, and I went out of my way to follow their instructions.\nCan you recall any particularly harrowing experiences?\nOne day near Tora Bora, one of my colleagues noticed that we were being followed by two guys on a motorcycle who appeared to be speaking into a radio\u2014a possible sign that somebody was setting up an ambush. We stopped the car and the Afghans jumped out, shook these guys down, and called in the local police commander. They claimed to work for the U.N., but when the police tried to raise the U.N. [on their radio] nobody answered. And the radio didn\u2019t have a label or stickers that identified it as a U.N. piece of equipment. After that the local police stayed in front of our vehicle the whole time. I often think back on that as a close call, and about how lucky I was that my colleagues were alert to the situation.\nBut to be honest, what I worried about most in Afghanistan and Pakistan was not a terrorist attack but a car accident. People there drive like maniacs, and in the mountains the highways have hairpin turns where if your car tumbles off the edge or the road gives way because there has been an earthquake or mudslide, you plunge hundreds of meters to your death.\nIn your article in The Crime Report you propose augmenting our military forces with a large influx of law enforcement officers. Can you talk about that?\nThe village areas do not lack a military [presence], they lack an effective police force. When you listen to counter-insurgency experts talk about what troops need to do in a COIN campaign they talk about rounding up bad guys, maintaining security, and keeping the streets safe. Essentially that\u2019s the job of cops on the beat. But nobody joins the Army or the Marines because they want to be a police officer, and our military is not training infantry troops to be policemen. Yet we are now talking about a strategy that will send thousands of American soldiers into remote Afghan towns and villages to keep the streets safe. We need to make sure they are trained for that kind of campaign.\nSome military commanders seem to understand this and I\u2019ve seen evidence that American soldiers are increasingly well-trained to do counter-insurgency work. But as the effort gets ramped up, one way to speed the process would be to embed police officers to help troops learn on the ground. That would support the effort to bring about stability at the local level.\nWhat role does corruption play in the drug trade?\nIn my opinion, fighting corruption is going to be an even bigger challenge than fighting the insurgency. There are clear indications that drug-related corruption has reached the highest levels of the Afghan government, including the widespread allegation that President Karzai\u2019s own brother is one of the main facilitators of the drug trade. Karzai and his brother both deny this, and have essentially dared the international community to provide evidence, but there are enough reports of his involvement that I believe the time has come for an international panel to investigate the president\u2019s brother and other senior officials.\nBut it\u2019s tricky. Who would appoint the investigators? And if a case went to trial, where would it be held? There still isn\u2019t an extradition treaty between Afghanistan and the United States. The Afghans are demanding that if there is an extradition treaty that it be reciprocal, and the U.S. is resisting [because] U.S. forces could get extradited to face Afghan courts. At the same time, I doubt corrupt Afghan officials would want to face an American court. This is a sensitive issue on both sides, but it\u2019s going to be very difficult for Washington to force an extradition treaty on Afghanistan that doesn\u2019t go both ways.\nSo when corrupt officials get arrested and tried, they go through the Afghan court system. It\u2019s quite clear that system is not working particularly well. And even when it does work, there are still problems. Before the presidential election, Karzai himself pardoned five convicted drug traffickers, one of whom was related to his campaign manager. In that kind of environment, it\u2019s hard to see how an anti-corruption drive is going to take place.\nTo me this is the crux of the problem in Afghanistan. Insurgencies don\u2019t exist in places where there is good governance. I don\u2019t believe that NATO and the West are going to defeat the Taliban by shooting them all. The Taliban will only be defeated when they are replaced by something better. And most Afghans don\u2019t see the government of Hamid Karzai as something better. Until there is effective and clean government in Afghanistan, it\u2019s going to be very hard to see the end of the Taliban insurgency.\nDisappearing Ink\u2014The rise and fall of handwriting.\nThe Devil\u2019s Mercedes\u2014The bizarre and disturbing adventures of Nazi limousines in Canada and America, including one frequently utilized by Adolf Hitler.\nThe Faithful Executioner\u2014Joel F.

        "raw_content": "Learn More about What Ozone Therapy Can Do for You!\nWhen we think of the ozone, it\u2019s usually in relation to our planet\u2019s atmosphere. However, medical ozone has many health benefits as well, particularly in the field of dentistry. Also, many major cities throughout the U.S. and the rest of the world use ozone to sterilize their public water systems and air purification systems. Ozone therapy is a treatment method used by Dr. Ross Desimone to arrest and reverse tooth decay during a number of procedures in his Fallbrook dental office. Ozone therapy allows Dr. Desimone and his staff to provide the most minimally invasive treatment, which helps patients feel completely comfortable during their appointment and entirely satisfied afterward.\nOzone therapy is administered for the purpose of fighting bacteria in the mouth, specifically in cases of periodontal disease, tooth decay, and root canals. It is applied to the teeth and oral cavity in 3 ways...gas, water, and oil form. Ozone is one of nature's most powerful oxidants which kills bacteria, viruses, and fungus. Tooth decay is a bacterial infection of the tooth and ozone is a natural pharmaceutical approach to treating an infection.\nWhen Dr. Desimone uses ozone, he is able to be more conservative and save much more tooth structure. Ozone has been used in dentistry since the early 1900's and is extremely safe. Many times no needles and numbing is necessary, which is great for kids.\nTo learn more about ozone therapy and how it can benefit your oral health, contact Dr. Desimone and schedule an appointment. With a dental examination, Dr. Desimone can advise whether ozone therapy is right for you. Call our Fallbrook dental office today for more information.",

        "raw_content": "Farming Challenges and Opportunities In Ireland\nThe medium to long term prospects are extremely positive for those who farm in Ireland. Given the projected 50% increase in the global population between now and 2050, Irish agri food can play a key role in feeding the world over the next three decades and beyond. The industry already exports 85% of its total output, a figure that is set to grow as the impact of the Harvest 2020 strategy continues to gather momentum.\nAdding to this good new story for Irish agriculture is the projected growth of the middle classes in countries such as China. This will lead to an increase in demand for animal protein based diets \u2013 across all ages \u2013 and specifically for high quality infant formula and other dairy products, where children are concerned.\nA significant increase in the level of volatility has become a consistent feature of many commodity markets over recent years. Milk prices reached record highs during 2013/14, only to fall back to levels well below the cost of production in Ireland less than 18 months thereafter. Similarly, Irish tillage farmers have had to absorb the significant falls in world grain prices that have been recorded over the past two years. Coping more effectively with price volatility will be a key challenge for Irish agriculture and farms in Ireland moving forward.\nThe need to reduce the level of greenhouse gases produced by Irish agriculture can be regarded in a similar light. In December 2015 Ireland signed up to the COP 21 agreement signed in Paris. It aims to restrict future increases in average global temperatures to 2.0\u00b0C. As the largest single contributor to Ireland\u2019s greenhouse gas production levels, agriculture will have no option but to come up with effective mitigation strategies, where these emissions are concerned.\nBrexit is another challenge facing the agri food sectors on the island of Ireland. The imposition of a trade deal between the UK and the EU-27, which would see the introduction of border tariffs, will create major problems from the perspective of cross-border trade.",

        "raw_content": "Da Vinci Code DVD Release Homily\nHomily \u2014 5th Sunday Easter B May 14, 2006\nAll the ends of the earth . . . . remember,\nand turn to the LORD\nRemain in me, for without me you can do nothing.\nSince the beginning of the Faith, Catholic Christians around the world have gathered in large numbers on the First Day of the week, Sunday, to worship God.\nNot a Sunday has gone by for the past 2000 years where the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass hasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t been celebrated somewhere by a priest and a congregation. Tens, perhaps hundreds of millions of Catholics gather this Sunday.\nAnd while the language may be Latin, Greek, English or French, and while the music may be ancient chant, or more modern sacred music, and while the rituals and prayers may differ slightly depending upon the age and the culture, the basic structure of the Mass we are now celebrating is the same basic structure of every Sunday Mass that has ever or will ever be celebrated by Catholics until the end of time.\nI\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d like to focus today on a part of the Mass that has always been there, a part we probably don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think much about. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s called the Anamnesis \u2014 the Remembering.\nThe Anamnesis in our Western, Latin Rite Mass is the part right after the Consecration. In Eucharistic Prayer I the Anamnesis is when the priest says \u201cwe your people and your ministers recall His Passion, His Resurrection from the dead, and His Ascension into glory. \u201d In Eucharistic Prayer II its when he says \u201cIn memory of His Death and Resurrection we offer you this (Eucharist)\u201d\nIn Eucharistic Prayer III: Father, calling to mind the death your Son endured for our salvation, His glorious Resurrection and Ascension into Heaven, and ready to greet Him when He comes again, we offer you this (Eucharist)\u201d\nThis Anamnesis has been part of the Mass from the beginning, not only in the Western, Latin Rite Church but also in all the various Eastern Rite Catholic Churches as well, always occurring near the time of the Consecration.\nAnd really, after the Consecration, the Anamnesis is considered by the Church to be the next most important part of the Mass Liturgy.\nThat\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s because the word \u201cAnamnesis\u201d is a Greek word which literally means \u201cFree from Amnesia\u201d. A person with Amnesia forgets who he is, but a person with An-amnesia never forgets who he is.\nAnd woe to us if we forget who we are as a People of God.\nThere\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a familiar saying \u201cThose who forgot about history are doomed to repeat it.\u201d\nBut that only applies to world history, the history of the City of Man, not Church history, the history of the City of God. Those who forget about Church history are doomed not to repeat it.\nFor the History of the Church is the History of the Triumph of Freedom, Peace and Human Nature over sin, death and Evil.\nIt\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a history that begins way back in the Old Testament, when God delivered the Israelites from slavery in Egypt by signs and wonders. From the Exodus forward, there began to be on earth a people set apart by God, distinct from every other tribe or nation, that God exclusively called \u201cHis People\u201d.\nWhen God\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s People remembered the Lord and were faithful to Him, God greatly blessed and prospered them, as we see in the times of Joshua, David, Esther and the Maccabees to name a few. But when they failed to remember the Lord, God let them reap the fruits of their wickedness, as we see in the days of the Judges, of King Ahab, and during the 70 year exile when Jerusalem was destroyed by the King of Babylon.\nBut the chosen People of God we find in the Old Testament, great as they were, were only phase one of a two phase Work of God. The People of Israel were a preparation for the New People of God, who would have the law written not on tablets of stone but in hearts of flesh. And when the fulness of time had come, during the Pax Romana, when not only the Jewish but the pagan world was in God\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s eyes ready for Him, the Virgin brought forth a child, Jesus of Nazareth: True God and True Man. The Word who is God became Flesh and dwelt among us, John the Evangelist wrote in 100 AD.\nAnd with a bunch of scruffy illiterate fishermen and a few pious women, Jesus began His Catholic Church and changed history.\nSoon the people of God weren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t just Jews, they included people of every race and nation, man and woman, slave and free, rich and poor \u2014 through Baptism they became all part of the New People of God, all members of the One Body of Christ.\nThe Anamnesis is a remembering of the life of Christ \u2014 not only Christ Jesus of Nazareth, the Head, but also the life of the Body of Christ, the Church. It is a remembering of the great works Christ has done and will continue to do for those who remain in Him, for apart from me you can do nothing.\nAnd the Church these past 2000 years, while she certainly has done some things that were sinful and should be repented of, has on the other hand done so much more great and wonderful things that we members of the Body of Christ need to remember and keep alive.\nTo remember how heroic martyrs like Peter and Paul, Ignatius, Isaac Jogues, Thomas More, Paul Miki, Perpetua and Felicity bravely endured torture for love of the Faith. To remember how virtuous men and women like Athanasius, Catherine of Sienna, Charles Borromeo, and Teresa of Avila brought the Church through the darkest of hours when all seemed lost.\nTo remember how great Catholic minds like Augustine, Aquinas, and Newman laid the foundations of our western civilization; how celibate, Catholic Monks preserved ancient Greek and Roman civilization from the Barbarians in the dark ages.\nHow our Mother the Church has in large part gave birth to the Modern University, the Modern Hospital, International Law, even Modern Science.\nI could go on about many other great and Holy Things we need to remember about the Body of Christ which we are a part of. But even more than these things, we need first and foremost to remember the great and holy things Christ has done in our own personal history \u2014 how Christ has blessed and prospered me, my family, my parish.\nBecause those who don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t remember Church History are doomed to not repeat it, doomed to not partake of the Triumph of the Lamb of God.\nRemain in me, for apart from me you can do nothing.\nBrothers and Sisters in Christ! In this culture we live in, a terrible spiritual amnesia is setting in. The once Christian world around us is forgetting, even re-writing the history of Christ and His Body the Church.\nThe antidote to this cultural Amnesia starts with Anamnesis. The Mass, the Eucharist is like a memory pill that helps us remember, helps us believe, hope, love supernaturally in this faithless world that has lost it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s bearing.\nLet us stay close to Jesus, and on this Mothers Day may we especially remember to Thank Him not only for our Earthly Mothers, but for our Blessed Mother and our Mother the Church as well.",

The fourth semi-finalist was another American, Coco Vandeweghe.\nWhen the curtain closed after the semi-final performances, the stage was set for a historic encore.

(Serena took a leave of absence to have a baby after capturing her record 23rd major title while pregnant at the Australian Open in January.)\nWhen the 16th-ranked Keys clinched her semi-final berth on Day 10 in Flushing Meadows, N.Y., to round out the Open\u2019s final four, tennis officials, analysts and commentators lauded the fact that four American women would be playing in a U.S. Open semi-final for the first time in 36 years.\nNothing was said about the historical fact that three of the four were black.\nI was pretty sure this was a history-making achievement, but I called upon black tennis historian Bob Davis for confirmation.\n\u201cThis is a first,\u201d Davis told me via email. \u201cThe important thing is what Venus stated, that we all should recognize Serena\u2019s contribution in motivating black women to reach for the stars.\u201d\nNot only was it a first for a Grand Slam event, it probably was a first for any WTA tour-level tournament.\nBut as remarkable as Madison\u2019s, Sloane\u2019s and Venus\u2019s collective achievement was, perhaps just as remarkable were their individual storylines leading up to the semis of the biggest and final Grand Slam of the tennis season.\nSloane Stephens\u2019 victory comes on the 60th anniversary of Althea Gibson\u2019s back-to-back championships in the United States and at Wimbledon. Click here to learn more.\nIn the amped-up conversation preceding the tournament, Madison and Sloane were considered dark horse contenders at best. Both began the 2017 season on the injured list and had only recently returned to playing at a level that had them pegged as potential No. 1 contenders.\nMadison, 22, was out the first two months following wrist surgery. After a scratchy few months that included first-round losses in Rome and Madrid and second-round exits at the French Open and Wimbledon, Madison began to find her form a couple of weeks before the U.S. Open. She won the Bank of the West Classic in Stanford, knocking out the 2017 Wimbledon champion and WTA No. 1 Garbine Muguruza in the semi-finals.\nSloane, 24, was out for 11 months, including the first half of the year, with a foot injury. Sloane, who defeated Serena to reach the 2013 Australian Open semi-finals and had been ranked as high as No. 12, had plummeted to No. 957 on the WTA tour. When I saw her play at the Citi Open in Washington, D.C., in early August, a tournament she won in 2015, she seemed listless and out of sorts. But she rebounded to reach the semi-finals of her next three tournaments, including the U.S. Open.As for Venus, she was very much on the tennis experts\u2019 A-List of potential winners of this year\u2019s championship. After all, she had been playing some of the best tennis of her Hall-of-Fame worthy career \u2014 at age 37 \u2014 having reached the finals in Australia and at Wimbledon and amassing $3.5 million in prize money. She also had climbed back into the WTA\u2019s Top 10.\nThe semi-final matchups pitted Sloane against Venus and Madison versus Coco at night in the 23,000-plus-seat Arthur Ashe Stadium, the largest in tennis. In the first match, Sloane\u2019s athleticism and defense proved to be too much for Venus to overcome. Sloane won 6-1, 0-6, 7-5.\n\u201cI have no words to describe what I\u2019m feeling, what it took to get here,\u201d said Sloane, whose ranking will climb to at least 22 after the tournament.\nA little later, Madison\u2019s power game prevailed to give her a 6-1, 6-2 victory and set up a championship match against Sloane. It was the first Grand Slam final for both players. The last time two Americans played in the U.S. Open women\u2019s final was in 2002. That was Williams vs. Williams. Serena won.\nAnd when Sloane hoisted this year\u2019s silver Tiffany winner\u2019s trophy after the final, it represented another milestone in black tennis history.\nLarry Bivins has worked as a journalist in Miami, New York City, Detroit and Washington, D.C.

        "title": "Making Money With An Online Business - Financial Slacker",
        "raw_content": "Making Money With An Online Business\nIn a prior post, I discussed the challenges in buying a business that I\u2019ve encountered. But despite these setbacks, the feedback that I received from that post is encouraging. Many readers, including those who have gone through this process themselves have commented that finding the right business to buy takes time. But as this process is taking a long time, I am also experimenting with a few online business ideas.\nWhile I continue exploring local businesses for sale, I am trying to remain cautiously optimistic that I\u2019ll find something that works for me. And while I\u2019ll continue going down the path to buy a business; but in the meantime, I\u2019m not putting all my eggs into that one basket.\nThe ability to make a full-time income with an online business has always intrigued me. And while there\u2019s no shortage of people out there who will tell you that it can be done, and they\u2019ll gladly show you how it can be done, just like any business, I don\u2019t expect making money with online business to come easily.\nAn online business just seems like a natural fit for me. I\u2019ve always been fascinated with technology. In fact, I\u2019ll go so far as to say that technology is my passion.\nIn the past, I talked about not getting obsessed with finding your passion and instead going after whatever interests you. And while I still stand by that advice if you don\u2019t know what you\u2019re passionate about, if you can find something to pursue that you are passionate about, I think you\u2019re likely to enjoy yourself more along the way.\nFor me, in addition to my passion for technology, I am also passionate about entrepreneurship. I\u2019m sure this is one of the reasons I want to buy a small business. But even more than buying a business, my passion is to start a business with a strong technology component (i.e., an online business).\nMy passion for technology goes back a long time. I designed websites in college. And before you start telling me how that\u2019s not unusual, remember I was in college back when websites weren\u2019t what they are today. Back then, most of us didn\u2019t even have email or cell phones. How did we survive?\nI also spent time back then in the text-based newsgroups that preceded what we know as the web today.\nAnd my passion goes back even further. When I was in high school, my family purchased an Apple IIe. But before my father would let me buy any software games to play, he made me learn BASIC programming language and program my own rudimentary game.\nAnd no where is my passion for technology more evident than when it comes to the countless hours I\u2019ve spent working on the technical aspects of the Financial Slacker site.\nTurning Your Passion Into a Business\nWhile it\u2019s great to know what you\u2019re passionate about, one of the challenges when you do find your passion is that it\u2019s easy to get lost in your passion.\nI have been known to spend hours and hours getting a website or spreadsheet or database to look a certain way or perform a certain function. And while diligence is important, often the changes I\u2019m making are so incremental that I\u2019m the only one who would notice the difference.\nAnd that\u2019s one of the keys to let you know when you have gone beyond a practical limit. When you\u2019re in business for yourself and you\u2019re working in an area you\u2019re passionate about, you need to set boundaries. Working for others, your schedule is mostly determined by your employer, but working for yourself means deciding how much time to spend on what.\nIf I spend all my time on the technical side of the business, which I may enjoy, I\u2019ll never get any content written or get a revenue model created. And while that may be fine for a hobby, that\u2019t not a good thing for a business.\nA Business Needs an Actual Product\nAs I explore my ideas for an online business, the biggest challenge is determining whether a viable business can be built around the idea.\nAnd to make that determination, I start with three questions:\nWhy are they buying it?\nThis seems like a simple question, but honestly it can be the hardest to answer. To answer this question, you must make specific decisions about what you are selling, how much it costs, and what it does.\nAs an example, just saying your product is personal financial consulting is not specific enough. Instead, you sell a customized personal financial plan that includes an analysis of income, expense, and retirement goals and proposes a strategy for achieving those goals all for a low $3500 one-time fee.\nCan you see the difference? In the second case, the client knows exactly what they get, what they will do with the product, and how much it will cost.\nWhile you can and most likely will sell your product to anyone who wants to buy it, you should have a specific target client in mind. This is because it\u2019s difficult to sell to everyone. There\u2019s a common expression, \u201cif you sell to everyone, you\u2019re selling to no one.\u201d\nIn the example case, your target client is a working-class professional between the ages of 35 and 45 with a household income between $75,000 and $100,000 and with invested assets between $250,000 and $500,000.\nThe more specific the better. By being specific, you can now seek out sales channels where you will find this typical client. For instance, to find potential clients, you might seek out people searching online for investment advisers.\nWhy are they buying the product?\nThis is really a two-part question and probably the most important question of the three. The first part is what problem does your client have that your product will help them solve? The value needs to be immediately and clearly understood as you don\u2019t have much opportunity to explain your product.\nIn this case, the client wants to know how much they need to save and how much their portfolio needs to earn in order to retire comfortably. And your financial plan provides them with this information.\nThe other part of the question is why are they buying this product from you? This is how you are different from others in the market selling a comparable product.\nIn this case, your primary competitors are investment advisers who also want to manage your client\u2019s money. These folks have a financial incentive to make investment recommendations that will benefit themselves (i.e., those that pay high commissions).\nAlternatively, your product is a stand-alone financial plan with no hidden conflicting financial incentives.\nWill Anyone Buy Your Product?\nAfter asking and answering the above three questions, you now have more than just an idea. You have an actual product to sell. And while you may not have a working product, you have enough to go out and ask people not just if they want to buy your product, but if they will buy your product.\nThis is where the hard work really begins. Before you start spending money and time, you need to validate your idea.\nMost of the time, you\u2019ll be testing the validity of your product with people you know. After all, if you can\u2019t convince someone who knows you and trusts you to buy, why would someone who doesn\u2019t know you or trust you buy?\nBut because these people do know you, they are likely to tell you what you want to hear rather than what you need to hear. Just because they tell you they would buy the product, unless they actually buy it, you haven\u2019t validated your product.\nSo before you move forward and start actually building your product, you need to get real buyers. You can offer a discount in that you haven\u2019t actually created the product yet. You can even defer payment until delivery if necessary. But you need to get real buyers to agree to buy the product using real money.\nOnce this happens, you know you have a viable product. And with a viable product and paying customers, you now have a real business!\nReaders, please share your own experiences starting an online business. Have you had success getting buyers to pay for a product before you have actually created the product? What other ways can you validate your product before spending time and money?\nPrevious Post: \u00ab The Ups and Downs of Blogging\nNext Post: Experience or Ability \u2013 Which is More Important? \u00bb\nI have to admit that I have kicked around a bunch of ideas but haven\u2019t pulled the trigger to start an online business. I love looking through Kickstarter at the ideas people have and the products that they are creating. The innovation is astonishing and often times I think why didn\u2019t I think of that first.\nSo while I am somewhat in the same boat as you, hopefully one day the right business pops in my head or I can create the right opportunity \ud83d\ude42\nI think that\u2019s one of the reasons I love going out to Kickstarter. Some of the ideas just seem so simple and obvious, yet they\u2019ve raised tons of money.\nThe key is to get started. Do something. You just never know what will happen.\nAnd as much the end is what gets all the attention, it\u2019s really the journey that matters most.",

        "raw_content": "home // News // To Add Or Not To Add //\nSource: The Register Guard | July 27th, 2004 | By Winston Ross\nFLORENCE \u2013 For more than 50 years, the residents of this coastal town have gulped down millions of gallons of water, pumped from the surface of local lakes or from beneath sand dunes \u2013 with at least one special ingredient: fluoride.\nHailed by dentists as a proven cavity foe, city officials decided in 1952 that people would be better off if they had a little extra fluoride in their diets.\nBut a graduate of Lane Community College wants to change all that, stunned by the research he did on the term paper that helped him earn his associate of arts degree this spring.\nAllied with a group of five other local advocates who believe that fluoride is actually a public health blight, Michael Hendrick hopes to get an initiative on the ballot as soon as possible to restrict what the city puts in its drinking water.\nIf Hendrick succeeds, Florence residents will join the minority of U.S. residents who don\u2019t drink fluoridated water. But they\u2019ll join a vast majority in Oregon, where 78 percent of the population doesn\u2019t drink fluoride, including residents of Eugene and Springfield.\n\u201cWe drink spring water,\u201d said Hendrick of his own family. He even tries not to bathe in fluoridated water. \u201cI soak in a bath tub. But that\u2019s a little frightening.\u201d\nThe science of confusion\nThe fluoride debate is nothing short of a conundrum, with proponents and opponents offering up piles of studies, statistics and anecdotes to make their case. Once dismissed as fodder for conspiracy theorists who called fluoride treatments Communist mind control, the discussion has in recent years begun to shift into the mainstream \u2013 which adds to the confusion.\nThe Florence City Council, for example, spent more than two hours last week haggling over the very wording of Hendrick\u2019s proposed ordinance, which is copied nearly verbatim from a version supplied by state and national anti-fluoride groups.\nThe purpose of the special meeting was simply to decide whether the wording that would appear on the ballot accurately reflects what Hendrick wants. If so, he must collect 343 valid signatures for an initiative to go before voters in an upcoming election.\nBut the discussion was anything but simple.\n\u201cI am not a chemist,\u201d Council President Phil Brubaker declared at the meeting\u2019s outset. But before long, a whole passel of non-chemists were trying to get a word in.\nPart of the confusion stems from one of the first things Hendrick told the City Council: that his proposal \u201chas already gotten an anti-fluoride reputation, but it actually covers many medicinal substances that we\u2019re mass-medicating ourselves with.\u201d\nThat\u2019s why Hendrick\u2019s proposal doesn\u2019t specifically ban fluoride from the water supply.\nThe ordinance, developed by the national Citizens for Safe Drinking Water and recently endorsed by the Oregon chapter of the Sierra Club, has two key provisions: It allows the city to add substances to water to prevent or treat adverse health effects only if they\u2019ve been specifically approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The substances also would be forbidden from exceeding the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency\u2019s \u201cmaximum contaminant level goals.\u201d\n\u201cWe believe in safe water quality,\u201d Hendrick said. \u201cThere are so many difficulties when you mass-medicate people through our water system.\u201d\nIrregular regulations?\nBut at least two Florence dentists say the wording of Hendrick\u2019s ordinance is confusing, misleading and inaccurate. They challenged the ballot title, which prompted the council\u2019s meeting.\n\u201cI have no problem with the election process,\u201d dentist Brian Holmes said. \u201cI think people have the right to make a choice.\u201d\nStill, he said, Hendrick\u2019s ordinance would put the city in an untenable position.\nThe FDA doesn\u2019t regulate fluoride in drinking water. Only the EPA regulates what can be added to drinking water. Thus, Holmes and fellow dentist Thomas Hunt argue that the FDA has no legal authority to step in.\n\u201cYou are asking for something that is illegal under U.S. law,\u201d Hunt said. \u201cIt can never be done.\u201d\nAlso, he argued, using EPA\u2019s \u201cgoals\u201d \u2013 as opposed to EPA \u201climits\u201d \u2013 would be far more restrictive than the standard currently used, Holmes added, and far too difficult to attain.\nFurthermore, someone might try to apply the ordinance to other substances the city already adds to the water \u2013 such as potassium permanganate and caustic soda, used to remove iron.\n\u201cI think you\u2019re getting into a real hornet\u2019s nest here if you leave the ballot title the way it is,\u201d Hunt said.\nHendrick disagreed on both counts. While it\u2019s true that the FDA doesn\u2019t regulate drinking water fluoride, he said that the agency has every right to do so because fluoride is a drug. The FDA does regulate pharmaceutical fluoride, for example.\nAnd as for other substances, the proposed ordinance is deliberately nonspecific, he said. If it only banned fluoride, the city could decide to add other drugs in the water \u2013 Cipro, for example, if there was another anthrax scare.\nBefore long, the two sides were debating the merits of fluoride, not the wording of the ordinance. The council decided the adjourn and plans to work with Hendrick for a clearer proposal.\nFluoride unpopular with voters\nIf the council approves the ballot wording and Hendrick can collect enough signatures, the issue will be put to voters sometime next spring.\nIt\u2019s hard to know what Florence residents will decide. For decades, people here assumed that fluoride was added to the water only after a citywide election. After researching the city\u2019s archives, however, it appears the council made the decision on its own, Mayor Alan Burns said.\nWhen such elections do take place, however, they most often swing against fluoridation, said Michael Connett, research director for the Fluoride Action Network, an anti-fluoridation nonprofit based in Burlington, Vt. He said 60 percent to 65 percent of such elections result in fluoride being removed or never added to the water supply.\n\u201cThe best thing to do is let the public vote,\u201d Burns said.",

        "title": "Cultural Greetings",
        "raw_content": "Q: For Muslims growing up in the west, we have obviously inherited western tradition. When greeting other Muslims (especially those raised in the west), and non-Muslims, it is customary to shake hands, kiss the cheek of a female, or even briefly embrace someone (male or female) whom one has not seen, or will not be seeing for an extended period of time. Does Islam make allowances for these types of cultural greetings?\nA: In responding to this question previously, I restricted myself to the traditional shari'ah outlook, and ruled against permissibility. A deeper study of the issue, however, has forced me to change my position on the matter. This is because the so-called \"Islamic\" position, as we know it, is restricted to the mores and customs of the Arab society. However, we find that the Qur'an is for all nations. Can we therefore expect that a behavior, which has no inherent evil in it, but which is contrary to Arab norms, be discarded and the people forced to adhere to new customs? I think not. For this reason, we see in the Qur'an that when Dhul Qarnain met a people who were of a certain behavior, he left them on their own.\nEvery behavior has to be analyzed for several things, among them, its inherent good or bad, its potential bad, etc. We know that Muslim traditionists generally rule against shaking hands, and so on, with members of the opposite sex. Except for some late and created hadith, they have no ground to stand upon. Their sole view is that the hijab dissuades interaction between the sexes. Without wishing to enter the modern debate about whether the verses of the Qur'an regarding seclusion were for the wives of the Prophet Muhammad only or not, I will state that Islam does not prohibit interaction. In fact, it encourages such interaction.\nWestern civilization sees no harm in certain forms of kissing. No one denies that such kissing can lead to other things. Therefore, one may use the term of prevention: \"sadd al zaraa'i\" and rule against it. On the other hand, we do not assume evil as an inherent quality in humans, and we rather give them the benefit of doubt regarding probity. As such, each situation and custom must be examined in terms of its specificity. By that, I mean that were I see a Saudi male seeking to kiss an Arab non-mahram female as part of his greeting, I would think it improper, since it is totally alien to his custom. A couple from the Caribbean obviously does not fall into the same classification.\nThat being said, it needs to be pointed out that in the spirit of peace, at religious gatherings, for example, where people as I have pointed out earlier, have imported Arab ways as the Islamic ways, one should be guarded and desist from behavior that would be seen as questionable. The Imams are the ones who should set this example. We need to remember that Islam is not the religion of strict legislation, as the jurists would have us think. It is a religion of tolerance, and whatever is forbidden is clearly mentioned in the Qur'an by Allah.\nEven then, certain legislation is restricted to time and place. Traditionists go against this concept claiming immutability of the Qur'anic laws. As such, we have some who still legitimize slavery. The situation is this: The Qur'anic laws and weltanschauung is based on gradualism. When certain behavior no longer has certain connotations, we may re-examine such behavior. And re-examination carries with it the probability of change of ruling. I am aware that this ruling of mine is likely to cause some consternation among certain groups. However, I state that my rulings are done by using the methodology of thematic readings of the Qur'an, as well as source methodology.\nIf our traditional scholars erred on some views, we need not deify them by taking their word as infallible. As Muslims, we need to examine every ruling that has no clear source in the Qur'an. On the aspect of interaction between men and women, I would suggest that Professor Azizah Al-Hibri be contacted, as she is an able scholar and knowledgeable in both traditional and modern methodologies of research.",

(Read 38298 times)\nRe: Did the IRS just give an extra $35k/yr of tax-free-growth saving space?\nQuote from: MrMoogle on January 08, 2015, 02:21:10 PM\nI've been researching this and came across this article:\nhttp://thefinancebuff.com/after-tax-401k-403b-rollover-to-roth-small-paycheck.html\nIf you have this \"Mega Backdoor Roth\" option, and have outside investments already, and won't get\nup to the 53k from your annual salary, you can \"convert\" non-retirement money into Roth. Basically use your outside investments to live off of, and put your whole paycheck to this.\nThe numbers he uses are not very mustacian, but there's still benefit IMO.\nThat's not exactly right. If you won't get up to the $53k from your annual salary, then there's no way to get that much into the 401k to do the rollover in the first place. What this article is saying is very simple -- if you want to take advantage of the mega back door roth to the fullest extent possible, but can't because you won't have enough of your paycheck leftover to live on, then just live on your preexisting assets instead of your paycheck to allow you to do the mega backdoor roth.\nBut the comments to this article alerted me to a new IRS FAQ on the megabackdoor roth strategy that, at first blush, is very troubling. According to the KPMG link in the comments to that article, this is from the IRS FAQ:\nCan I roll over just the after-tax amounts in my account to a Roth IRA and leave the remaining amounts in the plan (i.e., take a partial distribution of just the after-tax amounts)?\nNo. The guidance provided in Notice 2014-54 does not alter the requirement that each distribution from a plan must include a proportional share of the pretax and after-tax amounts in the account. Accordingly, any partial distribution from the plan must include some of the pretax amounts you have in your account -- you cannot take a distribution of only the after-tax amounts and leave the pretax amounts in the plan. In order to roll over all of your after-tax contributions to a Roth IRA, you could take a distribution of the full amount (all pretax and after-tax amounts) in your account, roll over all the pretax amounts in a direct rollover to a traditional IRA or another eligible retirement plan, and roll over all the aftertax amounts in a direct rollover to a Roth IRA.\nAt first blush, this seems to run counter to the mega back door roth strategy. I'm about to leave the office and won't be able to research this or give serious thought to it until later tonight at the earliest, but a quick google search didn't turn up anything.\nSeattlecyclone or any of the other tax buffs, do you care to weigh in on this?\nMrMoogle\nYes I mispoke and you said it much better, thanks for clearning that up :)\nSo about the IRS FAQ, here is how I understand it.\nFor in-service distributions, you can't pull out tax-advantaged funds, so if you do it in-service you take out post-tax and post-tax earnings. And if you have 20% earnings, and take out $1000, then $200 is earnings and $800 is contribution.\nNow after you've left the company, and want to take out $1000, and you have 50% pre-tax, 40% post-tax and 10% post-tax earnings, it has to be $500 pre-tax, $400 post-tax, and $100 post-tax earnings.\nEither way, as long as you do it all at one time, you can now, thanks to the new rule, send each part to a different location. Pre-tax can go to a tIRA, post-tax to Roth IRA, and post-tax earnings to tIRA. But you have to specify (somehow) that the post-tax is going to Roth IRA, not just $400 is going there. Before if you sent $400 to a Roth IRA, only 40% would be from the post-tax.\nMy understanding is that if your 401(k) plan is structured so that you have sub-accounts for each funding source (pre-tax, after-tax, Roth, etc.), you are allowed to choose to withdraw funds from whichever sub-account you wish without affecting the other sub-accounts one bit.\nIf my understanding is correct, what I hope the IRS means is that you can't choose to make a withdrawal from the the after-tax sub-account of your 401(k) that includes only contributions. If you have $4,000 of contributions and $1,000 of earnings sitting in that sub-account, you may not choose to only withdraw the $4,000 of contributions. If you did withdraw only $4,000, it would be considered a withdrawal of $3,200 of contributions and $800 of earnings. Once you withdraw the $4,000, you are free to put the $3,200 in your Roth IRA and $800 in your traditional IRA and pay no tax, but just leaving the earnings where they are is a no-no.\nskyrefuge\nLocation: Suburban Chicago, IL\nQuote from: brooklynguy on January 08, 2015, 03:51:41 PM\nAt first blush, this seems to run counter to the mega back door roth strategy.\nI haven't been following this nearly as closely as you guys, but it appears like a giant roadblock to me too. Kitces mentions it twice in his post:\nhttps://www.kitces.com/blog/irs-notice-2014-54-acquiesces-on-splitting-after-tax-401k-contributions-for-roth-conversion/\nQuote from: Kitces\nNotably, to the extent a retiree takes out only part of the account, the pro-rata rules under IRC Section 72(e)(8) do still apply to determine how much is coming out in the first place. Thus, for instance, if the 401(k) balance is $100,000 including $20,000 of after-tax funds, and the individual only requests a $20,000 distribution, then the distribution is treated as $16,000 of pre-tax and $4,000 of after-tax; while this could still be split, with the $16,000 of pre-tax to a rollover IRA and $4,000 of after-tax to a Roth, if the account owner wants to get out all $20,000 of after-tax funds into a Roth, he/she will be required to take all $100,000 from the 401(k) plan \u2013 getting out the whole $20,000 of after-tax and $80,000 of pre-tax \u2013 and can then allocate the pre-tax funds to a rollover IRA and the after-tax to a Roth.\nAll the Examples in IRS 2014-54 (http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-drop/n-14-54.pdf ) seem to support this view too.\nNeither source mentions anything about seattlecyclone's idea of \"sub-accounts\" that can be withdrawn from individually, though I have seen references to 401(k) plans that allow such sub-account withdrawals, and there are people in page 4 of the bogleheads thread (https://www.bogleheads.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=137366&start=150 ) who believe such legal separation is possible. I guess my interpretation of 2014-54 is that it explicitly disallows such sub-account withdrawals, and tells 401(k) plans \"no, you can't actually do what you've been doing\". But it seems like some of those bogleheads have dug deeper into the legalese than me, so my answer is probably still \"who knows?\" I think I'm just glad I can't do after-tax contributions of any sort in my plan so I don't have to be worried/tantalized. :-)\nThe legal separation is often referred to in IRS publications as a \"separate contract\" (since 401(k) and similar plans are covered under the section of law that deals with pensions and annuity contracts). One example is this section of publication 575. This publication explains that if the employee's plan decides to structure employee contributions as a separate contract from employer contributions, the pro-rata taxable share of withdrawals can be lower than if the plan structured things as all one big \"contract\" where employee contributions were mixed with employer contributions.\nOther sections of that same IRS publication describe how a plan can have the Roth portion of a 401(k) plan separated out as a \"separate contract\" from the pre-tax portion. The fact that it is structured as a separate contract means that you can withdraw from the Roth portion tax-free without being considered to have withdrawn a proportional amount from the pre-tax \"contract\" under your plan.\nMy own employer has an internal financial planning mailing list. Dozens (hundreds?) of these people have been regularly making these after-tax contributions and rolling them over to Roth IRAs. Some of them have been doing this for several years. I have not heard of one of them posting back that they got in trouble for rolling over only the after-tax sub-account without pro-rating their withdrawal across their pre-tax sub-account as well. This is of course not perfect proof, but it's good enough for me.\nI'd like to mull this over some more and do additional research, but as of now I think seattlecyclone's interpretation is the only reasonable reading of the FAQ, since it is impossible to accompany an in-service withdrawal from an after-tax subaccount with a withdrawal from a traditional pre-tax subaccount. But it is unfortunate that the IRS chose to use such unclear language in what was intended to be a clarification of Notice 2014-54, which I don't think needed clarifying in the first place. This will lead to more confusion, not less.\nSkyrefuge - I'm very glad to see you joining the brain trust on this issue.\nAlan S. in the boglehead forums (one of the blogosphere's leading authorities on these matters) has noted that the Kitces commentary seems to be ignoring subaccounts in his thread about Notice 2014-54, which is incidentally the only other place on the internet I've been able to locate with any discussion about the new FAQ (besides the original financebuff article that MrMoogle linked to above):\nOk, I'm sufficiently convinced (for someone who doesn't have to make this decision himself!) that this \"separate contract/sub-account\" is an actual IRS-allowed thing. It just feels weird that this artificial separation is respected in the 401(k) world, because in the IRA world, the IRS gives zero fucks about whether you have your IRAs in \"separate contracts\": \"nice try, asshole, you thought you could trick me by holding your money in separate accounts? Get the hell out of here, it's all one pot!\" But I guess the different treatment of 401(k)-vs.-IRA is just another highlight of what a jury-rigged mess the whole 401(k) concept is!\nHowever, knowing that \"separate contracts/sub-accounts\" is IRS-allowed is just the first (or, eleventh?) step. There's still the question of whether your employer's plan is legally structured that way. For his part, Kitces doesn't seem to think it's terribly common: \"Anecdotally, I find that many/most end out doing it all in one account, probably to save on administrative costs for tracking two accounts, but it does vary by plan/employer.\"\nOn the other hand, Fairmark believe that \"Recordkeeping systems now in use should handle this feature easily\", but does not give an opinion on how frequently this feature is taken advantage of by employers.\nFairmark also has a page dedicated to clearly describing the legal basis for the \"separate contract/sub-account\" theory: http://fairmark.com/retirement/roth-accounts/roth-conversions/isolating-basis-for-roth-conversion/separate-subaccount-treatment/\nThe last fairmark link was before this new guidance in September. Here was what I was looking at, both more recent:\nhttp://fairmark.com/retirement/roth-accounts/roth-conversions/isolating-basis-for-roth-conversion/\nhttp://fairmark.com/retirement/roth-accounts/roth-conversions/isolating-basis-for-roth-conversion/using-new-basis-isolation-rules/\nQuote from: skyrefuge on January 08, 2015, 10:10:17 PM\nWhen I first about the mega backdoor Roth early last year, my first concern was that since it is the 401(k) analog to the IRA world's regular backdoor Roth, there should be an analog to the pro-rata rule that would apply to any traditional pre-tax 401(k) contributions. As you said, from a logical and policy perspective, there's no reason why there should be a pro-rata issue in the IRA world but not the 401(k) world. I raised this concern in this old thread, but the general consensus of the tax cognoscenti was that that's indeed how it works (notwithstanding how illogical it is) and that the risk of the IRS taking a contrary view was remote. That was before the issuance of Notice 2014-54, in which the IRS seemingly explicitly threw in the towel on reserving any objections to this approach.\nSo I asked Vanguard specifically about my 401k, here's my rep's response:\n\"Your plan does have an After-tax distribution option, which you may roll\nover to an IRA. You are correct that you may roll over the pure after-tax\nmoney into a Roth IRA and the earnings (pre-tax money) into a traditional\nIRA. The process is not difficult and Vanguard associates will be glad to\nassist you when you are ready to do this. There are no fees for an\nAfter-tax withdrawal and no limit for the frequency of this type of\nAs of January 8, 2015, you may request an After-tax withdrawal of up to\n$XX ($YY taxable). If you would like to request a withdrawal,\nplease call us at the number below and an associate will be happy to assist\nyou. This transaction cannot be completed online.\"\nSo they don't have a problem performing the in-service distribution, although I guess technically they didn't mention tax implications.\nI just realized that my 401k allows for in-service withdrawals, so I came back to thread to read up on the topic. Last year, I made two months' worth of after-tax contributions after hitting the pre-tax maximum in October. I'm about to contact my plan administrator, and I'm crossing my fingers that I'll be able to withdraw just the after-tax contributions.\nIf it works out, this could be a huge boost in getting my Roth IRA filled up in preparation for ER without incurring unnecessary income taxes in the meantime. I guess I'll just have to figure out how to earn more/spend less, because $18,000 in my 401k + $6650 in my HSA + $11000 in our traditional IRAs is all I'm projecting that I'll be able to save this year.\n\u00ab Last Edit: March 05, 2015, 07:40:10 AM by Mississippi Mudstache \u00bb\nQuote from: Mississippi Mudstache on March 05, 2015, 07:38:27 AM\nI just realized that my 401k allows for in-service withdrawals, so I came back to thread to read up on the topic. Last year, I made two months' worth of after-tax contributions after hitting the pre-tax maximum in October.\nWhy did you make after-tax 401k contributions without a view towards doing mega backdoor roth rollovers? Simply for the tax deferral on the earnings?\nThis reminds me that it's time to follow up on the status of bearkat's hiccup in executing his mega backdoor rollover...\nYou can't withdraw just the contributions. Any earnings have to come out as well. You are allowed to divert the earnings to a traditional IRA to avoid paying tax on them for now (which could probably be rolled back into your 401(k) if you really felt like it), but you can't just leave that amount in your after-tax 401(k) subaccount.\nQuote from: brooklynguy on March 05, 2015, 07:48:55 AM\nGood question. I actually changed employers in October after having already hit the $17,500 with my old employer. I made after-tax contributions so I could still receive the 6.6% match that my new employer offers.\nQuote from: seattlecyclone on March 05, 2015, 07:52:37 AM\nRight. That won't be a problem - I already have traditional and Roth IRAs open at Fidelity. I have about $4,000 in pre-tax 2015 contributions right now, and I'll just as soon leave them in the 401k. But I won't have a problem moving them if it's my only option.\nmichaelrecycles\nThank you all who contributed to this thread (as well as the Mad Fientist). I was wondering what to do once I max out the pre-tax portion. After reading this thread and confirming my plan allows it, I now have a strategy.",

As to the quality of your piece, I will leave that to one of the art developers to give you some direction on, but if you are intending it for mainline there is no reason why it cannot be in Art Contributions (as long as you do not draw plain white lumps and go here, snow drifts.)\nPost by Boucman \u00bb March 16th, 2009, 9:21 pm\nthat's a good start, and I really like the idea,\nprobably used as a variation of the snow terrain rather than a new terrain\nthat being said, you have a real problem of scale.

I'd also stick with the smaller drifts only, the bigger ones wouldn't really work well.\nI can't offer very detailed advice as to how to improve the small ones except that I suppose they could blend in with the base snow a bit better and maybe be just a little bit less conspicuous somehow. It should remain clear that they're just a little visual variation instead of there actually being something special about the tile.\nRight, I didn't mean for them to go in as is, I just wanted to see if the idea was a waste of time. The big one is four hexes. I'll go with the smaller one and a road variation. Thanks.\nPost by Sangel \u00bb March 17th, 2009, 2:37 am\nI agree with the comments on scale - it's a little jarring seeing snowdrifts as tall as mountains. I do love what you're doing with complementary colours (the adding of yellow tones in the lee of the snowdrift), but I think you might be pushing it a little too far; desaturating the yellows a little more could help.\n\"Pure logic is the ruin of the spirit.\" - Antoine de Saint-Exup\u00e9ry\nPost by musketaquid \u00bb March 17th, 2009, 5:08 am\ndoofus-01 wrote: For maps that are supposed to be at high latitudes, all the snow and ice tiles get boring\nVariations of snow tiles are a good idea, but what looks odd to me in the shot you posted, is the castle.

If it turns out good enough, we'll move it back in here.\nThese are smaller and probably won't make players think it is a different terrain.

The half moon is too big, and from the two cracked lines, only the lower one makes sense to me.\nSo, small drifts with shorter blow aways and placed a bit more sporadic (i'm not sure, if some barrier like stones are necessary), and lower lines, wich could be more cracked in some ways, would make good variations.\nOK. I'll go with the little ones and space them further apart. I do kind of like the idea of multi-hex features though, maybe it would work if it wasn't such a regular shape?\nSkizzaltix\nPost by Skizzaltix \u00bb March 17th, 2009, 4:50 pm\nPossibly--If you feel like it, do give it a shot. I like the idea, too\nActually, I think one of the main problems with the big one here is that it's facing in a different direction from the others...\nFor the crack there, maybe if you had a shadow behind the upper one? Not sure.\nPost by Jozrael \u00bb March 17th, 2009, 6:41 pm\nI think it's important that these terrains not be 'spammed'. As you can see in your shot, multiple hexes of the same drift create visual 'patterns', which are bad. I forget the name for this. If you look at the other hexes (with very small details, btw) they're carefully constructed so that if placed next to each other, they don't emphasize specific points. With drifts, that's fairly impossible, no matter how small you make them, so I think they should be more 'highlights' than fills.\nOf course, this is directed to the map designer, not the artist :p",

Acts 11.24\nCollect: Generous God, whose Son Jesus Christ has taught us that it is more blessed to give than to receive: help us by the example of your apostle Barnabas, a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith, to be generous in our judgements and unselfish in our service: through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.\nWhen the ear heard, it commended me, and when the eye saw, it approved; because I delivered the poor who cried, and the orphan who had no helper. The blessing of the wretched came upon me, and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy. I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; my justice was like a robe and a turban. I was eyes to the blind, and feet to the lame. I was a father to the needy, and I championed the cause of the stranger. Hear the word of the Lord, thanks be to God.\nActs 11:22-30; 13:1-3\nNews of this came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch. When he came and saw the grace of God, he rejoiced, and he exhorted them all to remain faithful to the Lord with steadfast devotion; for he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a great many people were brought to the Lord. Then Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul, and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for an entire year they met with the church and taught a great many people, and it was in Antioch that the disciples were first called \"Christians.\" At that time prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch. One of them named Agabus stood up and predicted by the Spirit that there would be a severe famine over all the world; and this took place during the reign of Claudius. The disciples determined that according to their ability, each would send relief to the believers living in Judea; this they did, sending it to the elders by Barnabas and Saul. Now in the church at Antioch there were prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen a member of the court of Herod the ruler, and Saul. While they were worshipping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, \"Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.\" Then after fasting and praying they laid their hands on them and sent them off. Hear the word of the Lord, thanks be to God.\nThe Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew chapter 10, beginning at verse 7\nJesus said: As you go, proclaim the good news, 'The kingdom of heaven has come near.' Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. You received without payment; give without payment. Take no gold, or silver, or copper in your belts, no bag for your journey, or two tunics, or sandals, or a staff; for labourers deserve their food. Whatever town or village you enter, find out who in it is worthy, and stay there until you leave. As you enter the house, greet it. If the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. For the Gospel of the Lord, praise to you Lord Jesus Christ.",

In his book, Brekhus concludes that there are three degrees of identity among gay men in the U.S. Being gay dominates the lives of \u201clifestylers,\u201d men who are fully committed to their homosexuality and are proud and daring with their sexuality, much like a peacock. Others, known as \u201ccommuters,\u201d see their sexuality as something to embrace only when in the appropriate environment. Commuters are like chameleons, Brekhus said; they change their attitude and behaviors to fit their surroundings. They take pride in their sexuality, but only at the right time and place.\nBrekhus compares the third category of gay men, \u201cintegrators,\u201d to centaurs, the mythological beast often portrayed as half-human, half-horse. Integrators don\u2019t consider their homosexuality essential to their identity but instead see it as one small part of who they are.\nThis seems to be an interesting approach if one considers being gay a \"lifestyle\" matter - like having a fancy for cuban cigarres, football or a particular music style. Being a heterosexual living in a moderately oppressive country, Mr. Brekhus has missed some essential and less funny aspects of being gay - the violence, the ridicule, the hate, discrimination at school and workplace, non-recognition of marriages etc. All the aspects of being a second-class citizen or a de-facto foreigner in one's birth country, or simply an outlaw. A \"peacock\" then? Oh yes, with hunting season open.",

        "raw_content": "Here is what the Bible says about eternal salvation:\nAll people are sinners in need of a savior.\n\u201cNo one is righteous. Not even one. No one is truly wise; no one is seeking God. All have turned wasy; all have become useless. No one does good, not a single one.\u201d (Romans 3:10-12)\nThe price (or consequence) of sin is death.\nWe receive salvation and eternal life by God\u2019s grace alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone.\n\u201cFor God so loved the world He gave His only begotten son. That whosoever would believe on Him would not perish but have eternal life.\u201d John 3:16\nSalvation through faith alone in Jesus Christ brings us into a relationship of peace with God.\n\u201cSo now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus.\u201d (Romans 8:1)\nSalvation is eternal! Nothing can ever separate a born again believer in Jesus from Him!\n\u201cAnd I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God\u2019s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today or our worries about tomorrow, not even the powers of hell can separAte us from God\u2019s love. No power in the sky above or earth below\u2013indeed, nothing in all creation, will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.\u201d (Romans 8:38-39)\nThe very moment a person places his faith in Jesus\u2019 death, burial and resurrection he or she is \u201csealed by the Holy Spirit\u201d (Ephesians 1:13) and saved eternally. It is a free gift. No works are involved in receiving the gift or maintaining it.\nIt is also an eternal gift and God promises the born again believer he/she \u201cwill never perish.\u201d (John 10:28)\nThat is why the Gospel is referred to as \u201cThe Good News.\u201d\nIt wouldn\u2019t be good news if you had to work for it or always questioned whether your eternal destination was Heaven or The Lake of Fire.\nSalvation is also a one time event. Not a process as many false teachers claim. Many false teachers (5 point Calvinists, Arminianists, and Lordship Salvationists) incorrectly teach that a person is saved by grace alone through faith alone BUT that they either have to DO certain additional works either to get saved or to maintain their salvation. (i.e., \u201crepent of all their sins,\u201d \u201csurrender to the Lordship of Jesus,\u201d \u201cendure till the end,\u201d etc\u2026\nThey often mock and scoff at the One True Gospel of Grace (that a person is saved by God\u2019s grace alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone) derisively referring to it as \u201cgreasy grace\u201d and \u201ceasy believism\u201d and frequently claim that Jesus \u201cdid His part\u201d but that \u201cyou have to do yours to maintain your salvation.\u201d\nAnyone who teaches any of these \u201cfaith plus works\u201d false salvation doctrines are preaching a \u201cdoctrine of demons.\u201d The Apostle Paul declares that those preaching such false works-salvation gospels to be \u201caccursed.\u201d (Galatians1:8)\nThe common denominator with all these false doctrines and teachers is that they all conflate salvation with santification applying verses in the Bible having to do with sanctification to salvation.\nSalvation is a one time event in the life of The Believer.\nSanctification is a process a Born Again Believer undergoes the rest of their life here on this earth AFTER they have received the free gift of salvation by God\u2019s grace alone, through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone.\nMany people who sit under these faith in Jesus+works false teachers struggle with knowing whether they are truly saved and frequently doubt their salvation which causes major fear and anxiety.\nFrank Mirinith has written an article entitled, \u201cThe Psychological Effects of Lordship Salvation\u201d which details many of the physical and phychological problems people who have been taught that salvation is conditional can suffer from including neuroses, phychoses, personality and affective disorders and substance abuse.\nIf you happen to be one of those people, this article is for you to assure you that you were sealed by the Holy Spirit the very moment you acknowledged that you were a sinner in need of a savior and placed your faith ALONE in THE Savior, Jesus Christ, and HIS finished redemptive work on The Cross alone for the remission of all your sins (past, present and future) until \u201cthe day of redemption\u201d (Ephesians 4:30) (when you recieve your glofified body) and that your salvation is NOT CONDITIONAL on any works either before you were saved or after.\nEternal salvation is only the result of God\u2019s grace alone, through faith alone, in Jesus Christ alone.\nA person is saved FOR good works.\nNot by them!\nSo, of course after you have received the FREE gift of salvation by faith in what Jesus did for you, you SHOULD do the good works God has prepared for you as your good and rightfull service unto the Lord.\nYou SHOULD get water baptized.\nYou SHOULD read your Bible daily.\nYou SHOULD join a Christ centered, solid Bible teaching church.\nYou SHOULD serve the orphan and the widow and go on mission trips to share The Gospel and help people with their physical needs.\nYou SHOULD acknowledge your sinful actions and behaviors to God and ask for forgiveness for those whom you have wronged.\nAnd you SHOULD strive toward being more obedient and faithful in sharing The Gospel with a lost and dying un-saved world who desperately needs Jesus!\nBut the key word is SHOULD!\nNone of these things are requirements for eternal salvation.\nThey are the things outlined in the Bible that God knows are good for us and that will help us grow in our faith so that we can be more effective in loving God and loving others with the hopes that we will be more effective in winning souls to Heaven!\nA person has a choice as to how much/little they desire to grow. And each person will bear different ammounts of fruit in this life which I believe the Bible teaches will influence not only the blessings we receive in this life but also for all of eternity.\nBut the key here is that Salvation is a one time event and Sanctification is a process and it is VITAL we who endeavor to rightly dviide the Word of God clearly differntiate the two.\nWhen we are secure in knowing that God has forgiven all our sins and that we have the eternal assurance of knowing that we will spend eternity in heaven with Him, we can experience the True Grace that God desires that we walk in.\nTrue Liberty and True Freedom only found in Jesus Christ!\nIf you have trusted in the finished redemptive work of Jesus Christ alone for the remission of your sins and eternal life, be assured that you are saved eternally and \u201cWILL NEVER PERISH.\u201d It\u2019s God\u2019s promise to His Children. He will \u201cnever leave you nor forsake you.\u201d\nBask in His grace and grow in your faith by daily endeavoring to do the \u201cSHOULDS.\u201d\nBut just know that we all fall short. None of us are perfect. So KNOW with 100% certainty that even when you do (and you will) fall short on the \u201cSHOULDS\u201d, your eternal salvation is NEVER IN QUESTION!\nAnd if you have not trusted in Jesus for the remission of your sins and eternal life, may today be the day of salvation for you!\n\u201cFor all who call on the name of Jesus will be saved!\u201d (Romans 10:13)\nSo, here is what the inerrant, athoritative and infallible word of God says about eternal salvation.\nIt\u2019s by Grace alone, through faith alone, in Jesus Christ alone!\nAnd be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith.\nBut if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace.\nSo then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith.\nWhoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not believe in the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.\nWhat then shall we say was gained by Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh? For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. For what does the Scripture say? \u201cAbraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.\u201d Now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due. And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness, \u2026\nThe righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction:\nAnd are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,\nTo him all the prophets bear witness that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.\u201d\nIt was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.\nAnd the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, \u201cIn you shall all the nations be blessed.\u201d\nFor since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe.\nJust as Abraham \u201cbelieved God, and it was counted to him as righteousness\u201d?\nThen what becomes of our boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? By a law of works? No, but by the law of faith.\nThen they said to him, \u201cWhat must we do, to be doing the works of God?\u201d Jesus answered them, \u201cThis is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.\u201d\nSo that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith.\nAnd are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God\u2019s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins.\nWhom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God\u2019s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins.\nO foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? It was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified. Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing with faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh? Did you suffer so many things in vain\u2014if indeed it was in vain? Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you do so by works of the law, or by hearing with faith\u2014\nAnd by him everyone who believes is freed from everything from which you could not be freed by the law of Moses.\nBut now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it\u2014 the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God\u2019s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins.\nTherefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God\u2019s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. \u2026",

Here you will find not just one or two interesting little museums that are well worth a visit, but five, with exhibits that are sure to please.\nOne of our favorites was the Great Lakes to Florida Highway Museum, housed in an old gas station built in 1926. Located at 1095 Tazewell Street, the museum commemorates the old rout known as the Great Lakes to Florida Highway. Before the days of limited access interstate highways it was the main route for travelers going from Ohio to Florida. The original gas station started life as a Texaco station, but in 1934, it switched from selling Texaco products to Esso. Sometime in the1940s the owner also started selling candy and snacks, and by the 1950s the gas station was phased out and it became a small grocery store. Today, displays include artifacts from the old days, newspaper clippings, and exhibits about early-day travel through the region.\nThe Thomas J. Boyd Museum, located at 295 Tazewell Street, is named after Thomas Jefferson Boyd, known as the Father of Wytheville. Boyd was an attorney, surveyor, built a hotel in town, served as Wytheville\u2019s mayor, and in the Virginia Legislature. During the Civil War a lead mine in the area provided as much as one third of the lead the Confederate Army used for their bullets and Union forces invaded the town twice during the war. The museum\u2019s exhibits focus on local history, the Civil War, and the polio epidemic that devastated Wythe County in 1950. Wytheville was hit hard by the terrible disease. Of the just over 5,500 citizens living there, 184 came down with polio, with 17 of them dying. An iron lung on display at the museum honors those stricken with polio. The museum\u2019s Discovery Corner offers ten interactive stations where children can learn math and science, as well as local history.\nThe Haller-Gibboney Rock House Museum at 205 E. Tazewell Street was built as the home of Wytheville\u2019s first physician, Dr. John Haller, who served his community as a country doctor, county coroner, and delegate to the Virginia Legislature. The home was put into service as an infirmary and school during the Civil War years, and later as a boarding house when Wytheville became a popular summer resort. Today it is a museum displaying over 1,400 original artifacts and period furnishings that show how life was in the region in the 19th and early 20th centuries.\nThe Edith Bolling Wilson Birthplace and Museum, located at 145 E. Main Street, is one of only eight historic sites across the country dedicated to the interpretation of a First Lady. The museum tells the little-known story of the important role President Woodrow Wilson\u2019s wife played in the White House during World War I, her childhood in Wytheville, and how she earned the titles \u201cThe Secret President\u201d and \u201cThe First Woman President.\u201d\nLocated at the Wytheville Training School Cultural Center, 410 East Franklin Street, the African American Heritage Museum preserves the buildings and grounds of the historic Wytheville Training School and the adjoining Benjamin McKinney house. Photographs and exhibits focus on African-American education from Civil War days to the present.\nAll that and a lot more are in Wytheville and the immediate area, including impressive mansions that are open for tours, the Beagle Ridge Herb Farm, Fort Chiswell Animal Park, winery tours, historical sites, and outdoor adventures. As you can see, it would be easy to spend several days playing tourist here and not get bored.

        "raw_content": "Pioneering Pilot: Lawrence Sperry\nDate: July 3, 2018 Category: Blog Tags: Aviation History, pilots, pioneering pilot\nPioneering pilot Lawrence Sperry made countless contributions to the world of aviation, including an invention that can be found in nearly every airplane in the world: the autopilot. Born in 1892 in Chicago, Sperry was the third son of gyrocompass co-inventor Elmer Ambrose Sperry, who filed more than 400 patents in his lifetime. Taking after his father, Sperry used his innate inventive talent and interest in flying to transform the world of aviation forever.\nFrom an early age, Sperry was fascinated with flying. While taking flying lessons at the age of 19, Sperry began working with his father on a \u201cgyrostabilizer\u201d device using a modified version of the gyrocompass. The device, which later formed the basis of the autopilot, integrated gyros into the aircraft\u2019s hydraulic control system to help maintain straight and level flight.\nRecognizing the potential commercial success of their invention, Sperry and his father entered the autopilot device into the International Airplane Safety Competition in France in 1914. Sperry demonstrated the capabilities of the autopilot installed on his Curtiss C-2 biplane by flying above the crowd while holding his hands off the controls. On the second pass over the astonished crowd, Sperry\u2019s assistant walked onto the aircraft\u2019s wing while Sperry still had his hands in the air. On the third pass, Sperry walked onto the wing as the aircraft remained straight and level \u2013 without a pilot controlling it. Sperry was awarded first prize in the competition and earned national recognition for his invention.\nSperry continued developing remarkable new flight instruments and formed the Sperry Aircraft Company in 1917. His contributions include a self-contained parachute, retractable landing gear, an aerial torpedo, a gyroscopic artificial horizon, and a gyroscopic band-and-turn indicator which is still used in today\u2019s aircraft.\nIn 1921, Sperry set out to build a compact sport biplane for the U.S. Air Service, named the Messenger. The light, inexpensive airplane was used for general service by the Army and civilian pilots. Sperry used the Messenger as his personal aircraft and equipped the plane with instrumentation of his own design.\nOn December 23, 1923, Sperry disappeared while flying over the English Channel on route from England to Holland. Investigators later found that his aircraft suffered engine failure and crash landed into the English Channel, where his body was found weeks later. Sperry is remembered for his outstanding contributions to modern flight, including inventing instruments that make flying safer and more accessible for everyone. He was enshrined in the National Aviation Hall of Fame in 1981.",

        "raw_content": "Taking inspiration from nature\u2019s design\nWhen you have finished reading this article today, you will likely be ready to get out your tape measure, pencil and paper to prepare for a home or garden transformation. It doesn\u2019t take a lot of money to make a big difference to the way your place looks or feels.\nThere is usually an area somewhere on your property that you wish was somehow improved \u2014 perhaps in the yard, or an entryway or a wall that needs a facelift. Fortunately, there is a business here on Oahu that you can go to for ideas, or if you live on one of the outer islands, just pick up the phone and send some photos and measurements for personal assistance via email.\nThe place to go is called Big Rock, a company started on Oahu in 1983 by Bonnie Cooper and Brian Joy, who had the idea of manufacturing Hawaiian cast stone veneer such as Moss Rock, Lava and Coral. They searched for and handpicked natural stones, and made molds to pour lightweight concrete into, to create stone that looked identical to natural rock.\nThe business grew to include cast stone for the garden, such as Moss Rock pavers, lightweight boulders, above-ground ponds, waterfalls, Japanese garden stones and more. Every year new ideas and new products emerged. The beauty of Big Rock is not only visual, but also practical, as it lasts \u2018forever\u2019 and only improves with age, as nature adds its own patina of earth and time.\nBig Rock has been in business for 32 years, and the company is known for its excellent customer service, and quality products made with attention to detail. The owners have always encouraged people to take a stab at do-it-yourself projects if possible, not only to save money, but also for the feeling of pride that comes from completing the project. With many years of experience, the owners enjoy helping customers turn dreams into reality.\nSo, whether you already have an idea, or just know you want to make improvements, why not start with a visit to Big Rock? The showroom is a garden with waterfalls, koi ponds as well as Hawaiian and Japanese accents, and the walls are covered with various Hawaiian stone veneers. All in all, Big Rock is a unique home-garden business you\u2019ll want to get to know.\naddress // 1050 Kikowaena Place",

This case raising several [*2]\ndifferent federalism issues arose from a dispute in the courts of Puerto\nRico over the sale of a house.\nIn August 1995, Amparo Fuentes-Gonzalez sued Ramon\nBadillo-Santiago (\"Badillo\"), along with Badillo's wife and brother, in the\nSuperior Court of Puerto Rico in connection with a purchase and sale\ncontract for a house. Badillo is the plaintiff and appellant here.\nBefore trial, Badillo never asserted that his hearing was disabled or that\nhe would require accommodation. The only pre-trial reference to his\nhearing was in his answer to the complaint. In paragraph 20 of his\nanswer, he stated: \"The right to have witnesses and to have [the deed]\nread aloud was declined, especially by me, since I do not hear well and\nrely on hearing aids.\" Trial started on September 2, 1997. On that first\nday of trial, Badillo's counsel informed the court about Badillo's hearing\nimpairment and asked that he be permitted to sit near witnesses. That\nrequest was granted. On the second day of trial, Badillo stated that he\nhad heard very little of a witness's testimony. At that point, the trial judge\nstated that Badillo's demeanor indicated otherwise, as Badillo had made\nsigns of approval and disapproval [*3] of the testimony.\nOn the third day of trial, defendant Badillo moved for a new trial on the\nground that no reasonable accommodation had been provided to him for\nhis hearing impairment, as required by the Americans with Disabilities\nAct (ADA), 42 U.S.C. \u00a7 12101 et seq. In support of that motion, Badillo\nsubmitted a report that had been prepared by a clinical audiologist two\ndays earlier, on September 6. The trial court, which had already\naccommodated both Badillo's request to sit near witnesses and his\nrequest that counsel be required to examine him from the podium, denied\nthe motion. The court did, however, order that Badillo be provided with\na chair on wheels that he could move around the courtroom. The court\nallowed Badillo to move freely around the courtroom in order to hear\nbetter and advised him to stand up and inform the court if he could not\nhear testimony. Badillo claims that he attempted to comply, but that he\nstill could not hear witnesses, and claims that he was humiliated and\nembarrassed by the conditions. The court ultimately ruled in favor of the\nplaintiff on the merits and Badillo appealed, inter alia, on the ground that\nthe trial court [*4] had failed to provide him with reasonable\naccommodation for his hearing impairment, which, in turn, prevented\nhim from receiving a fair trial.\nWhile he pursued his claims in the court system of Puerto Rico, Badillo\nalso filed this suit, pro se, in the U.S. District Court for the District of\nPuerto Rico on August 31, 1998. The suit alleged claims under the ADA\nand under 42 U.S.C. \u00a7 1983 for violations of his due process and equal\nprotection rights. Badillo named as defendants the Commonwealth of\nPuerto Rico and numerous heads of Puerto Rico government entities in\ntheir official capacities, including the presiding judge of the Puerto Rico\nSupreme Court and the trial judge who had presided over the civil case\nagainst Badillo. Badillo also sued the trial judge in his individual capacity.\nHe sought compensatory and punitive damages and an injunction\nordering the defendants to bring the courts of Puerto Rico into\ncompliance with Title II of the ADA.\nThe defendants in the federal suit filed motions to dismiss for failure to\nstate a claim, which Badillo, still pro se, opposed. On February 11, 1999,\nthe United States successfully moved for leave to appear as amicus [*5]\ncuriae to oppose the motion to dismiss. On September 29, 1999, counsel\nentered an appearance for Badillo. On September 30, 1999, the district\ncourt (1) dismissed the ADA claim against the trial judge in his official\ncapacity, (2) dismissed the claim against the trial judge in his individual\ncapacity on grounds of judicial immunity, (3) dismissed the \u00a7 1983\nclaims against all of the individual defendants in their official capacities\non the ground that those claims were barred by the Eleventh\nAmendment, and (4) declined to dismiss Badillo's ADA claims against\nthe Commonwealth and the other individual defendants in their official\nBadillo subsequently sought leave to amend his complaint to add claims\nunder \u00a7 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, arguing that the court should grant\nhim leave to amend because of the difficulties he had faced as a pro se\nlitigant. The district court denied his requests to amend, noting that\nBadillo had almost a year after the filing of his federal complaint to retain\na lawyer. Badillo also asked the court to reconsider its dismissal of the \u00a7\n1983 claims for injunctive relief against the individual defendants in their\nofficial capacities, pointing [*6] to Ex parte Young, 209 U.S. 123, 52 L.\nEd. 714, 28 S. Ct. 441 (1908). The district court denied these requests\nOn August 31, 2000, Puerto Rico's intermediate appellate court, the\nCircuit Court of Appeals, reversed the judgment of the Puerto Rico\nSuperior Court and granted Badillo a new trial, concluding that the\naccommodation provided by the trial court was not adequate under the\nADA. Because the court found that a new trial was necessary, it did not\nreach several other issues raised by Badillo. The plaintiff in the\nCommonwealth action, Fuentes-Gonzalez, appealed the judgment of the\nCircuit Court of Appeals to the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico.\nIn March 2001, the remaining defendants n1 in the federal suit filed new\nmotions to dismiss the Title II ADA claims on Eleventh Amendment\ngrounds. On September 28, 2001, the district court entered judgment\ndismissing the ADA claims against those defendants on the ground that it\nhad no jurisdiction in light of Puerto Rico's Eleventh Amendment\nimmunity. Badillo-Santiago v. Andreu-Garcia, 167 F. Supp. 2d 194 (D.\nP.R. 2001). Badillo appealed that ruling to this court, and also argued\nthat the district court had erred [*7] both in not permitting him to\namend to assert a \u00a7 504 claim and also in dismissing his Ex parte Young\nclaims for injunctive relief.\n- - - - - - - - - - - - - - Footnotes - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -\nn1 After the dismissals of September 30, 1999, one of the\nofficial-capacity defendants, Fuentes-Agostini, successfully moved to\nhave the ADA claims against him dismissed.\n- - - - - - - - - - - - End Footnotes- - - - - - - - - - - - - -\nWe heard oral arguments in the case on September 12, 2002, at which\ntime the parties agreed to stay the appeal pending the outcome of the\nparallel appeal in the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico. On September 30,\n2003, the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico reversed the judgment of the\nCircuit Court of Appeals, finding no violation of Badillo's due process\nright to a fair trial, and remanded the case to the intermediate appellate\ncourt so that it could pass on the remaining issues appealed by Badillo. In\nanalyzing whether the trial court had violated Badillo's procedural due\nprocess rights, the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico explained that it \"need\nnot resort to the obligations imposed by the ADA on public entities,\n[*8] inasmuch as such obligations have been incorporated into the\nPuerto Rican law system as part of the due process of law.\" The court\nexplicitly adopted the definition of the procedural due process rights\nunder the U.S. Constitution as it was set forth in Mathews v. Eldridge,\n424 U.S. 319, 47 L. Ed. 2d 18, 96 S. Ct. 893 (1976). The court then\noffered its definition of reasonable accommodation:\nWe define reasonable accommodation, within the context of the services\nrendered by the court system, as one that does not involve modification\nof such magnitude as may fundamentally alter the nature of the service --\nin this case, the trial on the merits. Reasonable accommodation must\nguarantee significant access to the benefits, rights, and guarantees that a\ntrial on the merits entails; this, however, should not be mistaken for the\ncreation or addition of substantive benefits different from those provided\nto persons without disabilities. The purpose of reasonable\naccommodation is to facilitate the equal and equitable use and enjoyment\nof recognized services and rights by all users. Thus, we deem\nunreasonable an accommodation that imposes a disproportionate\nfinancial or administrative [*9] burden on the court system and on the\nThe determination to provide such an accommodation within the context\nof a trial requires a thorough consideration of the interests of all the\nparties affected by the procedure. . . . It is vitally important to also\nconsider the date on which the request for accommodation was\nsubmitted, [and] the quality and degree of evidence presented to show\nthe degree and extent of the disability . . . .\nThe court noted that the audiology report submitted by Badillo indicated\nthat his hearing impairment was partial and that he could hear people up\nto a distance of four feet if he faced them and resorted to lip reading.\nAccordingly, the court said, the accommodation provided by the trial\ncourt met due process requirements because it conformed to the degree\nof Badillo's disability.\nThe parties filed supplemental briefs addressing the effect of the Puerto\nRico Supreme Court decision on this federal suit. We advised the parties\nthat we would withhold ruling on this appeal until the United States\nSupreme Court issued its decision in Tennessee v. Lane, 541 U.S. 509,\n158 L. Ed. 2d 820, 124 S. Ct. 1978 (2004), on the constitutionality of\nTitle [*10] II of the ADA insofar as it purported to abrogate Eleventh\nAmendment immunity. The parties later provided supplemental briefing\non how Lane impacts this appeal.\nWe review de novo the district court's grant of the defendants' motions\nto dismiss and may affirm on any independently sufficient ground.\nWillhauck v. Halpin, 953 F.2d 689, 704 (1st Cir. 1991). The district\ncourt dismissed Badillo's Title II ADA claims against the Commonwealth\nand its officials in their official capacities on Eleventh Amendment\ngrounds, concluding that Congress did not validly abrogate the\nCommonwealth's sovereign immunity to such claims. 167 F. Supp. 2d at\n198-201. That ruling, on these facts, turned out to be contrary to\nTennessee v. Lane, 541 U.S. 509, 158 L. Ed. 2d 820, 124 S. Ct. 1978\n(2004), in which the Supreme Court held that Congress did validly\nabrogate states' sovereign immunity to certain constitutionally-based\nclaims under Title II of the ADA, on an as-applied basis. Id. at 1994.\nIn Lane, the Court held that Title II of the ADA enforces a number of\nconstitutional rights and that a history of unconstitutional disability\ndiscrimination supported [*11] Congress's enactment of prophylactic\nlegislation. Id. at 1988-92 (applying the first two parts of the three-part\nanalysis of Fourteenth Amendment legislation created by City of Boerne\nv. Flores, 521 U.S. 507, 138 L. Ed. 2d 624, 117 S. Ct. 2157 (1997)).\nConsidering next whether Title II is an appropriate response to the\nhistory and pattern of unequal treatment of individuals with disabilities,\nthe Court declined to \"examine the broad range of Title II's applications\nall at once\" and instead concluded that the only question before it was\n\"whether Congress had the power under \u00a7 5 to enforce the constitutional\nright of access to the courts.\" Id. at 1992-93. The Court held that Title\nII's \"requirement of program accessibility . . . is congruent and\nproportional to its object of enforcing the right of access to the courts\" as\nit requires only \"'reasonable modifications' that would not fundamentally\nalter the nature of the service provided\" and does not require states to\n\"undertake measures that would impose an undue financial or\nadministrative burden.\" Id. at 1993-94. The court thus concluded that\nTitle II, \"as it applies to the class of cases implicating the fundamental\nright [*12] of access to the courts,\" is a valid exercise of Congress's\nauthority under \u00a7 5 of the Fourteenth Amendment. Here, at least one of\nBadillo's federal claims implicates his right of access to the courts and\nthus falls within the holding of Lane, and so is not barred by the Eleventh\nAmendment. That is his claim that during his trial he was denied due\nprocess because there was no reasonable accommodation of his hearing\nimpairment. n2\nn2 For present purposes, we assume arguendo that his impairment rose\nto the level of a disability.\nIt does not follow, though, that Badillo is now entitled to go forward in\nfederal court and try to establish the merits of that claim. Given the\ndecision of the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico, this case now presents a\npotential and separate bar to federal court jurisdiction under the\nRooker-Feldman doctrine (and/or the issue preclusion doctrine). The\nRooker-Feldman doctrine provides that the district courts lack\njurisdiction over any action that is effectively or substantially [*13] an\nappeal from a state court's judgment. See Wilson v. Shumway, 264 F.3d\n120, 125 (1st Cir. 2001); Hill v. Town of Conway, 193 F.3d 33, 34-35\n(1st Cir. 1999). Rooker-Feldman applies to state or territorial court\njudgments to which the federal courts would accord preclusive effect,\nCruz v. Melecio, 204 F.3d 14, 21 n.5 (1st Cir. 2000), and the federal\ncourts \"can ascribe no greater preclusive force to a state court judgment\nthan would the courts of that state,\" id. at 21.\nThe law of Puerto Rico accords preclusive effect only to judgments that\nare \"final and unappealable,\" id. at 20, so \"a commonwealth court\njudgment cannot be accorded preclusive effect until all available appeals\nhave been exhausted (or the time for taking them has expired),\" id. When\nthe district court issued its decision dismissing Badillo's ADA claims on\nSeptember 28, 2001, Badillo's case in the Commonwealth courts was still\npending review by the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico. Accordingly, the\nlack of finality of judgment in the case at that time prevented the\nRooker-Feldman doctrine from coming into play. Because [*14] Puerto\nRico's highest court has since issued a final judgment, and because the\nclaims in this federal suit appear to be the functional equivalent of an\nappeal from that judgment, we remand the case to the district court so\nthat it can address whether it has jurisdiction under Rooker-Feldman. For\nthe same reasons, if the district court determines that it does have\njurisdiction over the suit, then it should address the res judicata and issue\npreclusion effects (if any) of the judgment by the Commonwealth's\nhighest court.\nWe remand because the issue whether the federal suit is barred is not\nstraightforward, nor has it adequately been briefed to this court by the\nparties. Indeed, the Commonwealth has not raised Rooker-Feldman, but\nwe are obliged to do so because the Rooker-Feldman doctrine is\njurisdictional. Maymo-Melendez v. Alvarez-Ramirez, 364 F.3d 27, 33\nn.7 (1st Cir. 2004) (the Rooker-Feldman doctrine is jurisdictional).\nIt is true that the Commonwealth officer defendants were not nominally\nparties in the state court proceedings. Cf. Perez-Guzman v. Gracia, 346\nF.3d 229, 238 & n.5 (1st Cir. 2003) (cautioning [*15] that\nRooker-Feldman may not apply where there is no identity of parties\nunder Puerto Rico law). It is equally true that the Puerto Rico Supreme\nCourt has adjudicated the merits of Badillo's denial of due process claim\nand has done so under federal due process standards and has articulated\na reasonable accommodation standard essentially equivalent to the Lane\nstandard. We thus reject Badillo's argument that the standard used by the\nPuerto Rico Supreme Court was different from the ADA standard. We\nalso reject Badillo's argument that the Puerto Rico Supreme Court's\nanalysis was affected by its allocation of the burden of proof as to the\nreasonableness of an accommodation. Nothing about the outcome\nreached by the Puerto Rico Supreme Court turned on who had what\nAlthough we remand, we caution Badillo about whether it is worth\ncontinuing his suit. Whether or not the decision of the Supreme Court of\nPuerto Rico precludes him from having the lower federal courts\nadjudicate his claim, Badillo should be aware that the merits of his claim\nhave been thoughtfully received and were found to be wanting.\nBadillo also appeals from the dismissal of his claims [*16] under \u00a7 1983\nagainst Commonwealth officials. The only place where this might make a\ndifference is in his request that the defendants be enjoined to prepare a\nplan to secure compliance with the ADA and educate the public.\nIt is not clear if Badillo intends this as an independent claim or whether\nhe wishes to pursue it at all. If, on remand, he pursues the claim, then a\nnumber of issues must be resolved: whether such a claim is stated under\nthe ADA, whether Badillo has standing, whether the Eleventh\nAmendment and Lane foreclose such a claim, and others. These issues\nmay be addressed initially in the district court.\nThis leaves only Badillo's appeal from the district court's refusal to allow\nhim to amend his complaint to add claims under \u00a7 504 of the\nRehabilitation Act. We review the district court's denial of leave to\namend for abuse of discretion and pay deference \"to any adequate\nreason for the denial.\" Acosta-Mestre v. Hilton Int'l of P.R., Inc., 156\nF.3d 49, 51 (1st Cir. 1998). We affirm.\nBadillo filed this case on August 31, 1998. Before the end of 1998, the\ndefendants had filed several motions to dismiss. Yet Badillo waited until\nSeptember [*17] 1999 to retain counsel (counsel made his first\nappearance on September 29, 1999), and he did not file the motion to\namend until October 22, 1999 -- almost one month after the court had\nruled on the defendants' motions to dismiss and more than a full year\nafter the filing of the complaint. Under those circumstances, it was within\nthe district court's discretion to deny the belated motion to amend. See\nHayes v. New England Millwork Distribs., Inc., 602 F.2d 15, 20 (1st\nCir. 1979) (undue delay can be a basis for denial of leave to amend).\nThe judgment of the district court dismissing the ADA claim is vacated,\nthe denial of the motion to amend to add a \u00a7 504 claim is affirmed, and\nthe case is remanded for proceedings consistent with this opinion. No\ncosts are awarded.",

        "raw_content": "Posted By Sherif Sakr / October 13, 2015 / Healthcare & Services / 0 Comments\nDiabetes Treatment, those struggling with type 2 diabetes know the daily struggle of living with it \u2014 the glucose meter, the insulin, the meal monitoring. Finding better ways to combat diabetes has been a medical issue for a while now, and bariatric and weight-loss surgeries have been tested as possible candidates. Studies have shown these surgeries can result in dramatic improvements in diabetes patients, but they\u2019ve all only looked at short-term control of the disease.\nDiabetes Treatment new research by King\u2019s College London and the Universita Cattolica in Rome, Italy, questioned whether bariatric and metabolic surgery was effective treatment for type 2 diabetes in the long term. The study, which followed a group of diabetic patients aged 30 to 60 with a\nbody-mass index (BMI) of 35 or more, examined the effects of either conventional diabetes treatment, surgery by gastric bypass, or biliopancreatic diversion. The gastric bypass involves shrinking the size of the stomach, while biliopancreatic diversion is a more extensive bypassing of the intestine.\nDiabetes Treatment At the time of the five-year follow-up, researchers evaluated the durability of diabetes remission, which was defined as a glycated haemaglobin A1c (HbA1c) concentration of 6.5 percent or less without the need of drugs for at least one year. Fifty percent of the surgical patients maintained diabetes remission at five years, compared with none of the conventionally treated patients. Even regardless of the remission rates, surgical patients had a lower average level of blood glucose than medically treated ones. Surgery was also linked to better quality-of-life scores.\nDiabetes Treatment there was no mortality and no major long-term complications after surgery. Half of the patients who had initial diabetes remission did, however, experience a relapse of mild hyperglycemia five years after surgery.Diabetes Treatment the researchers say that for this reason, monitoring of glycemia should continue in patients who achieve remission. Even these patients maintained a mean HbA1c level of 6.7 percent, though, indicating adequate control of the disease.\n\u201cThe ability of surgery to greatly reduce the need for insulin and other drugs suggests that surgical therapy is a cost-effective approach to treating type 2 diabetes,\u201d said Professor Francesco Rubino, senior author of this study and Chair of Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery at King\u2019s College London and a Consultant Surgeon at King\u2019s College Hospital in London, UK, in a press release.\nThe authors of the study do caution that the trial had a relatively small sample size (53 patients) and it does not allow definitive conclusions about the ability of surgery to reduce diabetes complications.\nProfessor Geltrude Mingrone, first author of the study who is a Professor of Internal Medicine at the Universita Cattolica in Rome and a Professor of Diabetes and Nutrition at King\u2019s College London, said in a statement: \u201cThe lower incidence of typical diabetes complications in this study is in line with previous findings from long-term non-randomized studies; however, larger and ideally multicenter randomized trials are needed to definitively confirm that surgery can reduce diabetes morbidity and mortality compared to standard medical treatment. Nevertheless, surgery appears to dramatically reduce risk factors of cardiovascular disease.\u201d\nSource: Rubino F, Mingrone G, Panuzi S, De Gaetano A, Guidone C, Iaconelli A.

You need to appreciate the fact that in actual sense landscaping is such a demanding chore that will in reality call for so much investment in time and effort that you may not really be in a position to afford looking at your busy schedule. When you hire the professional landscaping service companies for the landscaping needs in your home, you will have not to worry about the need to fix time for the landscaping needs in the home. Thus we can see from this the fact that such time can instead be spent enjoying the yards, playing ball with your kids and as such the landscape doesn\u2019t turn you into a slave to them.\nThe other benefit and reason for getting the services of the professional landscapers is that with them you will be able to enjoy such a healthy landscape. Just as we have already pointed above, maintaining a healthy landscape will be quite involving. There is so much that goes into it and will be dependent on a number of factors such as the type of grass and plants in your yards, the climate and all these determine the kinds of service that you may need such as irrigation, fertilizer and weed killers. Besides this is the fact that there are some of the plants in your yards that may need some trimming and as well bear in mind the fact that the health of the grass on your lawns will be influenced by the intervals within which you get to have them trimmed. With the landscaping experts, there is experience dealing with and handling all types of grass and plants there may be in your yards for the ideal landscaping service. Added to this is the fact that they know the precise conditions necessary for the thriving of the various kinds of plants in your yard and as well will plan the maintenance schedule perfectly to ensure that your landscape is ever at its best.\n\u2190 A Simple Plan: Lawns",

Parker to direct \"You Wanted The Best\u2026 You Got The Best - The Official Kiss Movie\".\nWhen I asked director Alan G. Parker (via facebook) about the project, he answered: \"Busy filming it at the moment... It's a documentary.... Watch this space....\".\nHe writes on his facebook page: \"Tomorrow night we are interviewing Lydia Criss.... It's gonna be a thrill folks... Things are coming together very nicely on the KISS movie thus far... You Wanted The Best... We won't let you down....\"\nAccording to Classic Rock Magazine \"You Wanted The Best\u2026 You Got The Best - The Official Kiss Movie\" promises to offer the most in-depth look yet. KISS was formed in New York in the early '70s as Wicked Lester and went on to sell over 100 million albums world wide.\n\"We are thrilled to have Alan onboard to help tell the definitive KISS story, a story of insanity\u2026 dedication\u2026 and a take-no-prisoners attitude combining to create the most spectacular beast in rock 'n' roll history; KISS,\" says Paul Stanley.\nAdds KISS manager Doc McGhee: \"It's an epic undertaking and everyone\u2019s committed 100 percent to bring this story to the big screen. We knew Alanwas the only man for the job and we can\u2019t wait to get started.\"\n\"I'm incredibly proud to be on board for this film,\" says Parker, \"telling the story of a band I love so much and that has such a rich history.\"\nThe movie will be the most intensive KISS documentary ever and will capture their career right from the start. Expect to see it on screens at some point next year.\nFinally! Now I can have something awesome to look forward to seeing at movies.",

The company\u2019s app, built by a team of 9 employees, does video differently. Built on the concept of friends, the app allows users to chat quickly and easily via video, but the company uses layered video for their solution.\nThere isn\u2019t a live component to the video. Users will send video, brief 15 second clips, much like they do with text messages.\nThe app uses voice recognition to learn spoken words, which will be placed on top of the video automatically. A good example of this would be someone mentioning Selena Gomez in their message. The words \u201cSelena Gomez\u201d may pop up on the screen, which can then be clicked to bring up more information about the singer/actress. Users will also be able to click through to the singer\u2019s Instagram or Twitter accounts.\nGoogle\u2019s speech recognition software is used to power the app.\nThe goal of the company is simple: \u201cto make video a habit.\u201d\nUsers will have a whole new way to get into the context of a video message. They will even be able to view weather and location information if they chose to. Tribe will aim to become the new way of \u201ctexting,\u201d and with powerful integrations, it provides a whole new layer of interactivity to the way video is sent.\nThe company hopes their app will be used to make dates, make plans to go to the movies and act as a new, fun way to use video that is different from Snapchat.\nThe app is available on iOS and Android.\nUsers can begin sending a video message to their friends by just clicking on their face. \u201cMagic Words\u201d are used to add more layers to the video, such as the link to celebrity profiles. Users will have to find all of these \u201cMagic Words\u201d for themselves, adding another layer of fun to the app.\nPrevious article4 Apps Making Headlines in October\nNext articleWorklife Startup Acquired by Cisco for Undisclosed Sum\nWhat Can Robots Do For You?; All New Robots, The iWoofer, Beer Launching Fridge...",

        "title": "Top 5: Third Jerseys to Replace Home Jerseys | Hockey By Design",
        "raw_content": "Top 5: Third Jerseys to Replace Home Jerseys\nThe news came down a few weeks back that once Adidas starts taking over manufacturing of the NHL\u2019s jerseys next season, there will be no third jerseys for any team in the league. At least (probably) just for next season. There are 17 teams in the league that have third jerseys, which means we\u2019re going to say goodbye to 17 jerseys this year\u2026but maybe they won\u2019t all be the third jerseys. We thought it might be a good time to look at teams that could actually benefit from ditching their current home jersey and wear their thirds for 41 games next year instead. Out with the old, in with the not-so-old!\nEdmonton (pictured above) has already announced that they\u2019re planning on doing just that\u2026but did they make the list of the Top 5 teams who should do that? Keep reading and find out.\nThere\u2019s three different influences that we\u2019re considering for a team to swap out their regular home jersey for their third jersey:\n1. Their third jersey is just go great is doesn\u2019t deserve to filed away in the jersey history books.\n2. Their home jersey is so bad that anything would be better.\n3. A less extreme combination of #1 and #2 \u2013 or, put simply, the third jersey is just better.\nAnd what about a Top 5 for teams that shouldn\u2019t replace their home jersey with their third jersey? Well, we\u2019ve got a list for that too\u2026\n\u2022 More: Top 5: Third Jerseys That Should Be Dumped\nThis is a #3 (from above). The Avs are a team desperately in need of a refresh, both on-the-ice and\u2026what they wear on the ice. Their logo isn\u2019t highly-rated, their jerseys need some help, and while they have a great unique blue-burgundy colour scheme, it may be time to think about hitting the refresh button a few times. The simple Colorado-flag-inspired logo crest (which also alludes to the previous Denver-based NHL team \u2013 the Rockies), snow-capped shoulder yokes, and a nice balance of burgundy included makes this jersey the preferred one to keep next year. I\u2019m not a huge fan of the navy blue, or the size of the shoulder yokes (making these drop down this list), but it\u2019s still an improvement. Or at least, it\u2019s a chance to start new.\n\u2022 More: HbD Breakdown: Avalanche and Ducks Third Jerseys\nAnother #3, where the third jersey is just better than the home jersey. Or, in this case, the third jersey is at least more interesting and innovative then the home jersey, which is little more than a solid blue jersey with a few thin stripes on it. On top of that, the two tones of blue are more unique than the red, white and blue combo, with the \u201cheritage white\u201d (aka off-white) really working with the aesthetics of the alternate logo. And said logo is better than their regular one anyway. Overall, the third jersey just has way more character, so it\u2019s an easy choice.\nThis is a #2 influence, because their current jersey set is just a mess of stripes that make no sense at all, with a black line that just ends mid-sleeve, which curves around a blackened armpit, which also cuts-off multiple vertical striping along the side. And none of these actually follow a hem-line at all, so the decision-making process behind it is a bit baffling. And depending on how you feel about the black-C logo in the middle, it\u2019s time to completely cast it aside. In its stead? Their third jersey, a replica of their original jerseys that have seen much better days than these ones have ever known. If you could just go ahead and get rid of their current road jerseys too?\u2026That\u2019d be great.\n\u2022 More: Worst to First Jerseys: Calgary Flames (Redux)\nThis is a #1 influencer. Both their third and home jersey are great jerseys in their own right, but those solid greens are just so unique and classy that I\u2019d be heartbroken to see them gone from the game. There\u2019s an argument to be made that the third jerseys are more visually connected with their road whites anyway, making for a more consistent jersey set\u2026the striping patterns are much more similar and red plays a much more subdued role in each, letting the forest green dominate the jerseys. Plus, it\u2019d be a shame to see the only jersey that has successfully pulled-off a script font since the Quakers be put out to pasture. I say dump the reds.\nThis is influenced by both #1 and #2. Their historic third jerseys with a simple \u201cO\u201d crest and a red/white combination chest stripe manages to balance a fine line between historical, modern and unique. They are, simply, one of the best (the best?) third jerseys in the league. Meanwhile, their current home jerseys, with blotches of black and white thrown haphazardly around the jersey with a cartoonish Roman gladiator crest on the front that introduces a new colour (gold) that looks painfully out-of-place are among the worst regular home jerseys in the league. Really, this should be the easiest decision Ottawa makes all season long, and it\u2019s something we\u2019ve also explored in length previously. That easily gives it top spot on this list.\n\u2022 More: What If\u2026The Senators Changed Their Identity?\n\u2022 More: Worst to First Jerseys: Ottawa Senators (Redux)\n\u2022 More: BTLNHL #21: Ottawa Senators\n4 Responses to \u201cTop 5: Third Jerseys to Replace Home Jerseys\u201d\nAaron Wilson says:\nI may be alone, but I\u2019m a BIG fan of the Avs third jerseys (actually the whole uniform), particularly since it gets rid of of the black pants and helmets.\nYou\u2019re not alone. I know there\u2019s lot of fans out there of the Avs third jersey.\nTop 5: Third Jerseys That Should Be Dumped | Hockey By Design says:\n[\u2026] \u2022 More: Top 5: Third Jerseys To Replace Home Jerseys [\u2026]\nHbD Breakdown: Minnesota Wild Jerseys | Hockey By Design says:\nJuly 3, 2017 at 3.59pm",

        "raw_content": "The prostitutes in world, like in any other region, are separated into VIP, self-sufficient, office and street ones. You should read some reviews about the certain model or about a particular agency to make some general perception about what you are about to experience. There are lots of ladies and they\u2019re completely different with different reactions, so make sure you\u2019re polite in any situation. The most inferior kind of prostitution is possibly the street one. The ladies offer their services to drivers, truckers and others passing folks. All services of the girls of this kind are relatively cheap. The price of provided services may differ based on time of the day. Unfortunately, many are affected by drug addiction. You may also meet juvenile representatives of this sphere. The disadvantage of this type of service is that often the girls do not look after their wellness, they\u2019re dressed slovenly, and they have a cheap look. But there are exceptions. Also, men that utilize the services of this type of category of girls could be contaminated with a variety of uncomfortable diseases. The smartest choice for a tourist or business person is to use good Brasil escorts.\nThe companies that provide sex services, operate with the kind of girls who don\u2019t want to engage in self-promotion, self-seek customers or stand on the road. For each client, the ladies are often transported by a firm driver. They may also serve all the customers in special condominiums hired by the agency in which they work. The benefit of this intimate sphere is the fact that absolutely all representatives of the sex industry are looking to carefully watch the health.

A LEISURE CLASS WEATHER AND CHARACTER BORN WITH AN \"EGO\" JUVENTUS MUNDI A BEAUTIFUL OLD AGE THE ATTRACTION OF THE REPULSIVE GIVING AS A LUXURY CLIMATE AND HAPPINESS THE NEW FEMININE RESERVE REPOSE IN ACTIVITY WOMEN\u2014IDEAL AND REAL THE ART OF IDLENESS IS THERE ANY CONVERSATION THE TALL GIRL THE DEADLY DIARY THE WHISTLING GIRL BORN OLD AND RICH THE \"OLD SOLDIER\" THE ISLAND OF BIMINI JUNE\nWe are so much accustomed to kings and queens and other privileged persons of that sort in this world that it is only on reflection that we wonder how they became so. The mystery is not their continuance, but how did they get a start? We take little help from studying the bees \u2014originally no one could have been born a queen. There must have been not only a selection, but an election, not by ballot, but by consent some way expressed, and the privileged persons got their positions because they were the strongest, or the wisest, or the most cunning. But the descendants of these privileged persons hold the same positions when they are neither strong, nor wise, nor very cunning. This also is a mystery. The persistence of privilege is an unexplained thing in human affairs, and the consent of mankind to be led in government and in fashion by those to whom none of the original conditions of leadership attach is a philosophical anomaly. How many of the living occupants of thrones, dukedoms, earldoms, and such high places are in position on their own merits, or would be put there by common consent? Referring their origin to some sort of an election, their continuance seems to rest simply on forbearance. Here in America we are trying a new experiment; we have adopted the principle of election, but we have supplemented it with the equally authoritative right of deposition. And it is interesting to see how it has worked for a hundred years, for it is human nature to like to be set up, but not to like to be set down. If in our elections we do not always get the best\u2014perhaps few elections ever did\u2014we at least do not perpetuate forever in privilege our mistakes or our good hits.\nThe celebration in New York, in 1889, of the inauguration of Washington was an instructive spectacle. How much of privilege had been gathered and perpetuated in a century? Was it not an occasion that emphasized our republican democracy? Two things were conspicuous. One was that we did not honor a family, or a dynasty, or a title, but a character; and the other was that we did not exalt any living man, but simply the office of President. It was a demonstration of the power of the people to create their own royalty, and then to put it aside when they have done with it. It was difficult to see how greater honors could have been paid to any man than were given to the President when he embarked at Elizabethport and advanced, through a harbor crowded with decorated vessels, to the great city, the wharves and roofs of which were black with human beings \u2014a holiday city which shook with the tumult of the popular welcome. Wherever he went he drew the swarms in the streets as the moon draws the tide. Republican simplicity need not fear comparison with any royal pageant when the President was received at the Metropolitan, and, in a scene of beauty and opulence that might be the flowering of a thousand years instead of a century, stood upon the steps of the \"dais\" to greet the devoted Centennial Quadrille, which passed before him with the courageous five, 'Imperator, morituri te salutamus'. We had done it\u2014we, the people; that was our royalty. Nobody had imposed it on us. It was not even selected out of four hundred. We had taken one of the common people and set him up there, creating for the moment also a sort of royal family and a court for a background, in a splendor just as imposing for the passing hour as an imperial spectacle. We like to show that we can do it, and we like to show also that we can undo it. For at the banquet, where the Elected ate his dinner, not only in the presence of, but with, representatives of all the people of all the States, looked down on by the acknowledged higher power in American life, there sat also with him two men who had lately been in his great position, the centre only a little while ago, as he was at the moment, of every eye in the republic, now only common citizens without a title, without any insignia of rank, able to transmit to posterity no family privilege. If our hearts swelled with pride that we could create something just as good as royalty, that the republic had as many men of distinguished appearance, as much beauty, and as much brilliance of display as any traditional government, we also felicitated ourselves that we could sweep it all away by a vote and reproduce it with new actors next day.\nIt must be confessed that it was a people's affair. If at any time there was any idea that it could be controlled only by those who represented names honored for a hundred years, or conspicuous by any social privilege, the idea was swamped in popular feeling. The names that had been elected a hundred years ago did not stay elected unless the present owners were able to distinguish themselves. There is nothing so to be coveted in a country as the perpetuity of honorable names, and the \"centennial\" showed that we are rich in those that have been honorably borne, but it also showed that the century has gathered no privilege that can count upon permanence.\nBut there is another aspect of the situation that is quite as serious and satisfactory. Now that the ladies of the present are coming to dress as ladies dressed a hundred years ago, we can make an adequate comparison of beauty. Heaven forbid that we should disparage the women of the Revolutionary period! They looked as well as they could under all the circumstances of a new country and the hardships of an early settlement. Some of them looked exceedingly well\u2014there were beauties in those days as there were giants in Old Testament times. The portraits that have come down to us of some of them excite our admiration, and indeed we have a sort of tradition of the loveliness of the women of that remote period. The gallant men of the time exalted them. Yet it must be admitted by any one who witnessed the public and private gatherings of April, 1889, in New York, contributed to as they were by women from every State, and who is unprejudiced by family associations, that the women of America seem vastly improved in personal appearance since the days when George Washington was a lover: that is to say, the number of beautiful women is greater in proportion to the population, and their beauty and charm are not inferior to those which have been so much extolled in the Revolutionary time. There is no doubt that if George Washington could have been at the Metropolitan ball he would have acknowledged this, and that while he might have had misgivings about some of our political methods, he would have been more proud than ever to be still acknowledged the Father of his Country.\nTHE NEWSPAPER-MADE MAN\nA fair correspondent\u2014has the phrase an old-time sound?\u2014thinks we should pay more attention to men. In a revolutionary time, when great questions are in issue, minor matters, which may nevertheless be very important, are apt to escape the consideration they deserve. We share our correspondent's interest in men, but must plead the pressure of circumstances. When there are so many Woman's Journals devoted to the wants and aspirations of women alone, it is perhaps time to think of having a Man's journal, which should try to keep his head above-water in the struggle for social supremacy. When almost every number of the leading periodicals has a paper about Woman\u2014written probably by a woman \u2014Woman Today, Woman Yesterday, Woman Tomorrow; when the inquiry is daily made in the press as to what is expected of woman, and the new requirements laid upon her by reason of her opportunities, her entrance into various occupations, her education\u2014the impartial observer is likely to be confused, if he is not swept away by the rising tide of femininity in modern life.\nBut this very superiority of interest in the future of women is a warning to man to look about him, and see where in this tide he is going to land, if he will float or go ashore, and what will be his character and his position in the new social order. It will not do for him to sit on the stump of one of his prerogatives that woman has felled, and say with Brahma, \"They reckon ill who leave me out,\" for in the day of the Subjection of Man it may be little consolation that he is left in.\nIt must be confessed that man has had a long inning. Perhaps it is true that he owed this to his physical strength, and that he will only keep it hereafter by intellectual superiority, by the dominance of mind. And how in this generation is he equipping himself for the future? He is the money-making animal. That is beyond dispute. Never before were there such business men as this generation can show\u2014Napoleons of finance, Alexanders of adventure, Shakespeares of speculation, Porsons of accumulation. He is great in his field, but is he leaving the intellectual province to woman? Does he read as much as she does? Is he becoming anything but a newspaper-made person? Is his mind getting to be like the newspaper? Speaking generally of the mass of business men\u2014and the mass are business men in this country\u2014have they any habit of reading books? They have clubs, to be sure, but of what sort? With the exception of a conversation club here and there, and a literary club, more or less perfunctory, are they not mostly social clubs for comfort and idle lounging, many of them known, as other workmen are, by their \"chips\"? What sort of a book would a member make out of \"Chips from my Workshop\"? Do the young men, to any extent, join in Browning clubs and Shakespeare clubs and Dante clubs? Do they meet for the study of history, of authors, of literary periods, for reading, and discussing what they read? Do they in concert dig in the encyclopaedias, and write papers about the correlation of forces, and about Savonarola, and about the Three Kings? In fact, what sort of a hand would the Three Kings suggest to them? In the large cities the women's clubs, pursuing literature, art, languages, botany, history, geography, geology, mythology, are innumerable. And there is hardly a village in the land that has not from one to six clubs of young girls who meet once a week for some intellectual purpose. What are the young men of the villages and the cities doing meantime? How are they preparing to meet socially these young ladies who are cultivating their minds? Are they adapting themselves to the new conditions? Or are they counting, as they always have done, on the adaptability of women, on the facility with which the members of the bright sex can interest themselves in base-ball and the speed of horses and the chances of the \"street\"? Is it comfortable for the young man, when the talk is about the last notable book, or the philosophy of the popular poet or novelist, to feel that laughing eyes are sounding his ignorance?\nMan is a noble creation, and he has fine and sturdy qualities which command the admiration of the other sex, but how will it be when that sex, by reason of superior acquirements, is able to look down on him intellectually? It used to be said that women are what men wish to have them, that they endeavored to be the kind of women who would win masculine admiration. How will it be if women have determined to make themselves what it pleases them to be, and to cultivate their powers in the expectation of pleasing men, if they indulge any such expectation, by their higher qualities only? This is not a fanciful possibility. It is one that young men will do well to ponder. It is easy to ridicule the literary and economic and historical societies, and the naive courage with which young women in them attack the gravest problems, and to say that they are only a passing fashion, like decorative art and a mode of dress. But a fashion is not to be underestimated; and when a fashion continues and spreads like this one, it is significant of a great change going on in society. And it is to be noticed that this fashion is accompanied by other phenomena as interesting. There is scarcely an occupation, once confined almost exclusively to men, in which women are not now conspicuous. Never before were there so many women who are superior musicians, performers themselves and organizers of musical societies; never before so many women who can draw well; never so many who are successful in literature, who write stories, translate, compile, and are acceptable workers in magazines and in publishing houses; and never before were so many women reading good books, and thinking about them, and talking about them, and trying to apply the lessons in them to the problems of their own lives, which are seen not to end with marriage. A great deal of this activity, crude much of it, is on the intellectual side, and must tell strongly by-and-by in the position of women. And the young men will take notice that it is the intellectual force that must dominate in life.\nINTERESTING GIRLS\nIt seems hardly worth while to say that this would be a more interesting country if there were more interesting people in it. But the remark is worth consideration in a land where things are so much estimated by what they cost. It is a very expensive country, especially so in the matter of education, and one cannot but reflect whether the result is in proportion to the outlay. It costs a great many thousands of dollars and over four years of time to produce a really good base-ball player, and the time and money invested in the production of a society young woman are not less. No complaint is made of the cost of these schools of the higher education; the point is whether they produce interesting people. Of course all women are interesting. It has got pretty well noised about the world that American women are, on the whole, more interesting than any others. This statement is not made boastfully, but simply as a market quotation, as one might say. They are sought for; they rule high. They have a \"way\"; they know how to be fascinating, to be agreeable; they unite freedom of manner with modesty of behavior; they are apt to have beauty, and if they have not, they know how to make others think they have. Probably the Greek girls in their highest development under Phidias were never so attractive as the American girls of this period; and if we had a Phidias who could put their charms in marble, all the antique galleries would close up and go out of business.\nBut it must be understood that in regard to them, as to the dictionaries, it is necessary to \"get the best.\" Not all women are equally interesting, and some of those on whom most educational money is lavished are the least so. It can be said broadly that everybody is interesting up to a certain point. There is no human being from whom the inquiring mind cannot learn something. It is so with women. Some are interesting for five minutes, some for ten, some for an hour; some are not exhausted in a whole day; and some (and this shows the signal leniency of Providence) are perennially entertaining, even in the presence of masculine stupidity. Of course the radical trouble of this world is that there are not more people who are interesting comrades, day in and day out, for a lifetime. It is greatly to the credit of American women that so many of them have this quality, and have developed it, unprotected, in free competition with all countries which have been pouring in women without the least duty laid upon their grace or beauty. We, have a tariff upon knowledge\u2014we try to shut out all of that by a duty on books; we have a tariff on piety and intelligence in a duty on clergymen; we try to exclude art by a levy on it; but we have never excluded the raw material of beauty, and the result is that we can successfully compete in the markets of the world.\nThis, however, is a digression. The reader wants to know what this quality of being interesting has to do with girls' schools. It is admitted that if one goes into a new place he estimates the agreeableness of it according to the number of people it contains with whom it is a pleasure to converse, who have either the ability to talk well or the intelligence to listen appreciatingly even if deceivingly, whose society has the beguiling charm that makes even natural scenery satisfactory. It is admitted also that in our day the burden of this end of life, making it agreeable, is mainly thrown upon women. Men make their business an excuse for not being entertaining, or the few who cultivate the mind (aside from the politicians, who always try to be winning) scarcely think it worth while to contribute anything to make society bright and engaging. Now if the girls' schools and colleges, technical and other, merely add to the number of people who have practical training and knowledge without personal charm, what becomes of social life? We are impressed with the excellence of the schools and colleges for women \u2014impressed also with the co-educating institutions. There is no sight more inspiring than an assemblage of four or five hundred young women attacking literature, science, and all the arts. The grace and courage of the attack alone are worth all it costs. All the arts and science and literature are benefited, but one of the chief purposes that should be in view is unattained if the young women are not made more interesting, both to themselves and to others. Ability to earn an independent living may be conceded to be important, health is indispensable, and beauty of face and form are desirable; knowledge is priceless, and unselfish amiability is above the price of rubies; but how shall we set a value, so far as the pleasure of living is concerned, upon the power to be interesting? We hear a good deal about the highly educated young woman with reverence, about the emancipated young woman with fear and trembling, but what can take the place of the interesting woman? Anxiety is this moment agitating the minds of tens of thousands of mothers about the education of their daughters. Suppose their education should be directed to the purpose of making them interesting women, what a fascinating country this would be about the year 1900.\nGIVE THE MEN A CHANCE\nGive the men a chance. Upon the young women of America lies a great responsibility. The next generation will be pretty much what they choose to make it; and what are they doing for the elevation of young men? It is true that there are the colleges for men, which still perform a good work\u2014though some of them run a good deal more to a top-dressing of accomplishments than to a sub-soiling of discipline\u2014but these colleges reach comparatively few. There remain the great mass who are devoted to business and pleasure, and only get such intellectual cultivation as society gives them or they chance to pick up in current publications. The young women are the leisure class, consequently\u2014so we hear\u2014the cultivated class. Taking a certain large proportion of our society, the women in it toil not, neither do they spin; they do little or no domestic work; they engage in no productive occupation. They are set apart for a high and ennobling service\u2014the cultivation of the mind and the rescue of society from materialism. They are the influence that keeps life elevated and sweet\u2014are they not? For what other purpose are they set apart in elegant leisure? And nobly do they climb up to the duties of their position. They associate together in esoteric, intellectual societies. Every one is a part of many clubs, the object of which is knowledge and the broadening of the intellectual horizon. Science, languages, literature, are their daily food. They can speak in tongues; they can talk about the solar spectrum; they can interpret Chaucer, criticise Shakespeare, understand Browning. There is no literature, ancient or modern, that they do not dig up by the roots and turn over, no history that they do not drag before the club for final judgment. In every little village there is this intellectual stir and excitement; why, even in New York, readings interfere with the german;\u2014['Dances', likely referring to the productions of the Straus family in Vienna. D.W.]\u2014and Boston! Boston is no longer divided into wards, but into Browning \"sections.\"\nAll this is mainly the work of women. The men are sometimes admitted, are even hired to perform and be encouraged and criticised; that is, men who are already highly cultivated, or who are in sympathy with the noble feminization of the age. It is a glorious movement. Its professed object is to give an intellectual lift to society. And no doubt, unless all reports are exaggerated, it is making our great leisure class of women highly intellectual beings. But, encouraging as this prospect is, it gives us pause. Who are these young women to associate with? with whom are they to hold high converse? For life is a two-fold affair. And meantime what is being done for the young men who are expected to share in the high society of the future? Will not the young women by-and-by find themselves in a lonesome place, cultivated away beyond their natural comrades? Where will they spend their evenings? This sobering thought suggests a duty that the young women are neglecting. We refer to the education of the young men. It is all very well for them to form clubs for their own advancement, and they ought not to incur the charge of selfishness in so doing; but how much better would they fulfill their mission if they would form special societies for the cultivation of young men!\u2014sort of intellectual mission bands. Bring them into the literary circle. Make it attractive for them. Women with their attractions, not to speak of their wiles, can do anything they set out to do. They can elevate the entire present generation of young men, if they give their minds to it, to care for the intellectual pursuits they care for. Give the men a chance, and\u2014\u2014\nMusing along in this way we are suddenly pulled up by the reflection that it is impossible to make an unqualified statement that is wholly true about anything. What chance have I, anyway? inquires the young man who thinks sometimes and occasionally wants to read. What sort of leading-strings are these that I am getting into? Look at the drift of things. Is the feminization of the world a desirable thing for a vigorous future? Are the women, or are they not, taking all the virility out of literature? Answer me that. All the novels are written by, for, or about women\u2014brought to their standard. Even Henry James, who studies the sex untiringly, speaks about the \"feminization of literature.\" They write most of the newspaper correspondence\u2014and write it for women. They are even trying to feminize the colleges. Granted that woman is the superior being; all the more, what chance is there for man if this sort of thing goes on? Are you going to make a race of men on feminine fodder? And here is the still more perplexing part of it. Unless all analysis of the female heart is a delusion, and all history false, what women like most of all things in this world is a Man, virile, forceful, compelling, a solid rock of dependence, a substantial unfeminine being, whom it is some satisfaction and glory and interest to govern and rule in the right way, and twist round the feminine finger. If women should succeed in reducing or raising\u2014of course raising\u2014men to the feminine standard, by feminizing society, literature, the colleges, and all that, would they not turn on their creations\u2014for even the Bible intimates that women are uncertain and go in search of a Man? It is this sort of blind instinct of the young man for preserving himself in the world that makes him so inaccessible to the good he might get from the prevailing culture of the leisure class.\nTHE ADVENT OF CANDOR\nThose who are anxious about the fate of Christmas, whether it is not becoming too worldly and too expensive a holiday to be indulged in except by the very poor, mark with pleasure any indications that the true spirit of the day\u2014brotherhood and self-abnegation and charity\u2014is infusing itself into modern society. The sentimental Christmas of thirty years ago could not last; in time the manufactured jollity got to be more tedious and a greater strain on the feelings than any misfortune happening to one's neighbor. Even for a day it was very difficult to buzz about in the cheery manner prescribed, and the reaction put human nature in a bad light. Nor was it much better when gradually the day became one of Great Expectations, and the sweet spirit of it was quenched in worry or soured in disappointment. It began to take on the aspect of a great lottery, in which one class expected to draw in reverse proportion to what it put in, and another class knew that it would only reap as it had sowed. The day, blessed in its origin, and meaningless if there is a grain of selfishness in it, was thus likely to become a sort of Clearing-house of all obligations and assume a commercial aspect that took the heart out of it\u2014like the enormous receptions for paying social debts which take the place of the old-fashioned hospitality. Everybody knew, meantime, that the spirit of good-will, the grace of universal sympathy, was really growing in the world, and that it was only our awkwardness that, by striving to cram it all for a year into twenty-four hours, made it seem a little farcical. And everybody knows that when goodness becomes fashionable, goodness is likely to suffer a little. A virtue overdone falls on t'other side. And a holiday that takes on such proportions that the Express companies and the Post-office cannot handle it is in danger of a collapse. In consideration of these things, and because, as has been pointed out year after year, Christmas is becoming a burden, the load of which is looked forward to with apprehension\u2014and back on with nervous prostration\u2014fear has been expressed that the dearest of all holidays in Christian lands would have to go again under a sort of Puritan protest, or into a retreat for rest and purification. We are enabled to announce for the encouragement of the single-minded in this best of all days, at the close of a year which it is best not to characterize, that those who stand upon the social watch-towers in Europe and America begin to see a light\u2014or, it would be better to say, to perceive a spirit\u2014in society which is likely to change many things, and; among others, to work a return of Christian simplicity. As might be expected in these days, the spirit is exhibited in the sex which is first at the wedding and last in the hospital ward. And as might have been expected, also, this spirit is shown by the young woman of the period, in whose hands are the issues of the future. If she preserve her present mind long enough, Christmas will become a day that will satisfy every human being, for the purpose of the young woman will pervade it. The tendency of the young woman generally to simplicity, of the American young woman to a certain restraint (at least when abroad), to a deference to her elders, and to tradition, has been noted. The present phenomenon is quite beyond this, and more radical. It is, one may venture to say, an attempt to conform the inner being to the outward simplicity. If one could suspect the young woman of taking up any line not original, it might be guessed that the present fashion (which is bewildering the most worldly men with a new and irresistible fascination) was set by the self-revelations of Marie Bashkirtseff. Very likely, however, it was a new spirit in the world, of which Marie was the first publishing example. Its note is self-analysis, searching, unsparing, leaving no room for the deception of self or of the world. Its leading feature is extreme candor. It is not enough to tell the truth (that has been told before); but one must act and tell the whole truth. One does not put on the shirt front and the standing collar and the knotted cravat of the other sex as a mere form; it is an act of consecration, of rigid, simple come-out-ness into the light of truth. This noble candor will suffer no concealments. She would not have her lover even, still more the general world of men, think she is better, or rather other, than she is. Not that she would like to appear a man among men, far from that; but she wishes to talk with candor and be talked to candidly, without taking advantage of that false shelter of sex behind which women have been accused of dodging. If she is nothing else, she is sincere, one might say wantonly sincere. And this lucid, candid inner life is reflected in her dress. This is not only simple in its form, in its lines; it is severe. To go into the shop of a European modiste is almost to put one's self into a truthful and candid frame of mind. Those leave frivolous ideas behind who enter here. The 'modiste' will tell the philosopher that it is now the fashion to be severe; in a word, it is 'fesch'. Nothing can go beyond that. And it symbolizes the whole life, its self-examination, earnestness, utmost candor in speech and conduct.\nThe statesman who is busy about his tariff and his reciprocity, and his endeavor to raise money like potatoes, may little heed and much undervalue this advent of candor into the world as a social force. But the philosopher will make no such mistake. He knows that they who build without woman build in vain, and that she is the great regenerator, as she is the great destroyer. He knows too much to disregard the gravity of any fashionable movement. He knows that there is no power on earth that can prevent the return of the long skirt. And that if the young woman has decided to be severe and candid and frank with herself and in her intercourse with others, we must submit and thank God.\nAnd what a gift to the world is this for the Christmas season! The clear-eyed young woman of the future, always dear and often an anxiety, will this year be an object of enthusiasm.\nThe American man only develops himself and spreads himself and grows \"for all he is worth\" in the Great West. He is more free and limber there, and unfolds those generous peculiarities and largenesses of humanity which never blossomed before. The \"environment\" has much to do with it. The great spaces over which he roams contribute to the enlargement of his mental horizon. There have been races before who roamed the illimitable desert, but they traveled on foot or on camelback, and were limited in their range. There was nothing continental about them, as there is about our railway desert travelers, who swing along through thousands of miles of sand and sage-bush with a growing contempt for time and space. But expansive and great as these people have become under the new conditions, we have a fancy that the development of the race has only just begun, and that the future will show us in perfection a kind of man new to the world. Out somewhere on the Santa Fe route, where the desert of one day was like the desert of the day before, and the Pullman car rolls and swings over the wide waste beneath the blue sky day after day, under its black flag of smoke, in the early gray of morning, when the men were waiting their turns at the ablution bowls, a slip of a boy, perhaps aged seven, stood balancing himself on his little legs, clad in knicker-bockers, biding his time, with all the nonchalance of an old campaigner. \"How did you sleep, cap?\" asked a well-meaning elderly gentleman. \"Well, thank you,\" was the dignified response; \"as I always do on a sleeping-car.\" Always does? Great horrors! Hardly out of his swaddling-clothes, and yet he always sleeps well in a sleeper! Was he born on the wheels? was he cradled in a Pullman? He has always been in motion, probably; he was started at thirty miles an hour, no doubt, this marvelous boy of our new era. He was not born in a house at rest, but the locomotive snatched him along with a shriek and a roar before his eyes were fairly open, and he was rocked in a \"section,\" and his first sensation of life was that of moving rapidly over vast arid spaces, through cattle ranges and along canons. The effect of quick and easy locomotion on character may have been noted before, but it seems that here is the production of a new sort of man, the direct product of our railway era. It is not simply that this boy is mature, but he must be a different and a nobler sort of boy than one born, say, at home or on a canal-boat; for, whether he was born on the rail or not, he belongs to the railway system of civilization. Before he gets into trousers he is old in experience, and he has discounted many of the novelties that usually break gradually on the pilgrim in this world. He belongs to the new expansive race that must live in motion, whose proper home is the Pullman (which will probably be improved in time into a dustless, sweet-smelling, well-aired bedroom), and whose domestic life will be on the wing, so to speak. The Inter-State Commerce Bill will pass him along without friction from end to end of the Union, and perhaps a uniform divorce law will enable him to change his marital relations at any place where he happens to dine. This promising lad is only a faint intimation of what we are all coming to when we fully acquire the freedom of the continent, and come into that expansiveness of feeling and of language which characterizes the Great West. It is a burst of joyous exuberance that comes from the sense of an illimitable horizon. It shows itself in the tender words of a local newspaper at Bowie, Arizona, on the death of a beloved citizen: \"'Death loves a shining mark,' and she hit a dandy when she turned loose on Jim.\" And also in the closing words of a New Mexico obituary, which the Kansas Magazine quotes: \"Her tired spirit was released from the pain-racking body and soared aloft to eternal glory at 4.30 Denver time.\" We die, as it were, in motion, as we sleep, and there is nowhere any boundary to our expansion. Perhaps we shall never again know any rest as we now understand the term\u2014rest being only change of motion\u2014and we shall not be able to sleep except on the cars, and whether we die by Denver time or by the 90th meridian, we shall only change our time. Blessed be this slip of a boy who is a man before he is an infant, and teaches us what rapid transit can do for our race! The only thing that can possibly hinder us in our progress will be second childhood; we have abolished first.\nWe are quite in the electric way. We boast that we have made electricity our slave, but the slave whom we do not understand is our master. And before we know him we shall be transformed. Mr. Edison proposes to send us over the country at the rate of one hundred miles an hour. This pleases us, because we fancy we shall save time, and because we are taught that the chief object in life is to \"get there\" quickly. We really have an idea that it is a gain to annihilate distance, forgetting that as a matter of personal experience we are already too near most people. But this speed by rail will enable us to live in Philadelphia and do business in New York. It will make the city of Chicago two hundred miles square. And the bigger Chicago is, the more important this world becomes. This pleasing anticipation\u2014that of traveling by lightning, and all being huddled together\u2014is nothing to the promised universal illumination by a diffused light that shall make midnight as bright as noonday. We shall then save all the time there is, and at the age of thirty-five have lived the allotted seventy years, and long, if not for 'Gotterdammerung', at least for some world where, by touching a button, we can discharge our limbs of electricity and take a little repose. The most restless and ambitious of us can hardly conceive of Chicago as a desirable future state of existence.\nThis, however, is only the external or superficial view of the subject; at the best it is only symbolical. Mr. Edison is wasting his time in objective experiments, while we are in the deepest ignorance as to our electric personality or our personal electricity. We begin to apprehend that we are electric beings, that these outward manifestations of a subtile form are only hints of our internal state. Mr. Edison should turn his attention from physics to humanity electrically considered in its social condition. We have heard a great deal about affinities. We are told that one person is positive and another negative, and that representing socially opposite poles they should come together and make an electric harmony, that two positives or two negatives repel each other, and if conventionally united end in divorce, and so on. We read that such a man is magnetic, meaning that he can poll a great many votes; or that such a woman thrilled her audience, meaning probably that they were in an electric condition to be shocked by her. Now this is what we want to find out\u2014to know if persons are really magnetic or sympathetic, and how to tell whether a person is positive or negative. In politics we are quite at sea. What is the good of sending a man to Washington at the rate of a hundred miles an hour if we are uncertain of his electric state? The ideal House of Representatives ought to be pretty nearly balanced\u2014half positive, half negative. Some Congresses seem to be made up pretty much of negatives. The time for the electrician to test the candidate is before he is put in nomination, not dump him into Congress as we do now, utterly ignorant of whether his currents run from his heels to his head or from his head to his heels, uncertain, indeed, as to whether he has magnetism to run in at all. Nothing could be more unscientific than the process and the result.\nIn social life it is infinitely worse. You, an electric unmarried man, enter a room full of attractive women. How are you to know who is positive and who is negative, or who is a maiden lady in equilibrium, if it be true, as scientists affirm, that the genus old maid is one in whom the positive currents neutralize the negative currents? Your affinity is perhaps the plainest woman in the room. But beauty is a juggling sprite, entirely uncontrolled by electricity, and you are quite likely to make a mistake. It is absurd the way we blunder on in a scientific age. We touch a button, and are married. The judge touches another button, and we are divorced. If when we touched the first button it revealed us both negatives, we should start back in horror, for it is only before engagement that two negatives make an affirmative. That is the reason that some clergymen refuse to marry a divorced woman; they see that she has made one electric mistake, and fear she will make another. It is all very well for the officiating clergyman to ask the two intending to commit matrimony if they have a license from the town clerk, if they are of age or have the consent of parents, and have a million; but the vital point is omitted. Are they electric affinities? It should be the duty of the town-clerk, by a battery, or by some means to be discovered by electricians, to find out the galvanic habit of the parties, their prevailing electric condition. Temporarily they may seem to be in harmony, and may deceive themselves into the belief that they are at opposite poles equidistant from the equator, and certain to meet on that imaginary line in matrimonial bliss. Dreadful will be the awakening to an insipid life, if they find they both have the same sort of currents. It is said that women change their minds and their dispositions, that men are fickle, and that both give way after marriage to natural inclinations that were suppressed while they were on the good behavior that the supposed necessity of getting married imposes. This is so notoriously true that it ought to create a public panic. But there is hope in the new light. If we understand it, persons are born in a certain electrical condition, and substantially continue in it, however much they may apparently wobble about under the influence of infirm minds and acquired wickedness. There are, of course, variations of the compass to be reckoned with, and the magnet may occasionally be bewitched by near and powerful attracting objects. But, on the whole, the magnet remains the same, and it is probable that a person's normal electric condition is the thing in him least liable to dangerous variation. If this be true, the best basis for matrimony is the electric, and our social life would have fewer disappointments if men and women went about labeled with their scientifically ascertained electric qualities.\nCAN A HUSBAND OPEN HIS WIFE'S LETTERS?\nCan a husband open his wife's letters? That would depend, many would say, upon what kind of a husband he is. But it cannot be put aside in that flippant manner, for it is a legal right that is in question, and it has recently been decided in a Paris tribunal that the husband has the, right to open the letters addressed to his wife. Of course in America an appeal would instantly be taken from this decision, and perhaps by husbands themselves; for in this world rights are becoming so impartially distributed that this privilege granted to the husband might at once be extended to the wife, and she would read all his business correspondence, and his business is sometimes various and complicated. The Paris decision must be based upon the familiar formula that man and wife are one, and that that one is the husband. If a man has the right to read all the letters written to his wife, being his property by reason of his ownership of her, why may he not have a legal right to know all that is said to her? The question is not whether a wife ought to receive letters that her husband may not read, or listen to talk that he may not hear, but whether he has a sort of lordship that gives him privileges which she does not enjoy. In our modern notion of marriage, which is getting itself expressed in statute law, marriage is supposed to rest on mutual trust and mutual rights. In theory the husband and wife are still one, and there can nothing come into the life of one that is not shared by the other; in fact, if the marriage is perfect and the trust absolute, the personality of each is respected by the other, and each is freely the judge of what shall be contributed to the common confidence; and if there are any concealments, it is well believed that they are for the mutual good. If every one were as perfect in the marriage relation as those who are reading these lines, the question of the wife's letters would never arise. The man, trusting his wife, would not care to pry into any little secrets his wife might have, or bother himself about her correspondence; he would know, indeed, that if he had lost her real affection, a surveillance of her letters could not restore it.\nPerhaps it is a modern notion that marriage is a union of trust and not of suspicion, of expectation of faithfulness the more there is freedom. At any rate, the tendency, notwithstanding the French decision, is away from the common-law suspicion and tyranny towards a higher trust in an enlarged freedom. And it is certain that the rights cannot all be on one side and the duties on the other. If the husband legally may compel his wife to show him her letters, the courts will before long grant the same privilege to the wife. But, without pressing this point, we hold strongly to the sacredness of correspondence. The letters one receives are in one sense not his own. They contain the confessions of another soul, the confidences of another mind, that would be rudely treated if given any sort of publicity. And while husband and wife are one to each other, they are two in the eyes of other people, and it may well happen that a friend will desire to impart something to a discreet woman which she would not intrust to the babbling husband of that woman. Every life must have its own privacy and its own place of retirement. The letter is of all things the most personal and intimate thing. Its bloom is gone when another eye sees it before the one for which it was intended. Its aroma all escapes when it is first opened by another person. One might as well wear second-hand clothing as get a second-hand letter. Here, then, is a sacred right that ought to be respected, and can be respected without any injury to domestic life. The habit in some families for the members of it to show each other's letters is a most disenchanting one. It is just in the family, between persons most intimate, that these delicacies of consideration for the privacy of each ought to be most respected. No one can estimate probably how much of the refinement, of the delicacy of feeling, has been lost to the world by the introduction of the postal-card. Anything written on a postal-card has no personality; it is banal, and has as little power of charming any one who receives it as an advertisement in the newspaper. It is not simply the cheapness of the communication that is vulgar, but the publicity of it. One may have perhaps only a cent's worth of affection to send, but it seems worth much more when enclosed in an envelope. We have no doubt, then, that on general principles the French decision is a mistake, and that it tends rather to vulgarize than to retain the purity and delicacy of the marriage relation. And the judges, so long even as men only occupy the bench, will no doubt reverse it when the logical march of events forces upon them the question whether the wife may open her husband's letters.\nA LEISURE CLASS\nForeign critics have apologized for real or imagined social and literary shortcomings in this country on the ground that the American people have little leisure. It is supposed that when we have a leisure class we shall not only make a better showing in these respects, but we shall be as agreeable\u2014having time to devote to the art of being agreeable\u2014as the English are. But we already have a considerable and increasing number of people who can command their own time if we have not a leisure class, and the sociologist might begin to study the effect of this leisureliness upon society. Are the people who, by reason of a competence or other accidents of good-fortune, have most leisure, becoming more agreeable? and are they devoting themselves to the elevation of the social tone, or to the improvement of our literature? However this question is answered, a strong appeal might be made to the people of leisure to do not only what is expected of them by foreign observers, but to take advantage of their immense opportunities. In a republic there is no room for a leisure class that is not useful. Those who use their time merely to kill it, in imitation of those born to idleness and to no necessity of making an exertion, may be ornamental, but having no root in any established privilege to sustain them, they will soon wither away in this atmosphere, as a flower would which should set up to be an orchid when it does not belong to the orchid family. It is required here that those who are emancipated from the daily grind should vindicate their right to their position not only by setting an example of self-culture, but by contributing something to the general welfare. It is thought by many that if society here were established and settled as it is elsewhere, the rich would be less dominated by their money and less conscious of it, and having leisure, could devote themselves even more than they do now to intellectual and spiritual pursuits.\nWhether these anticipations will ever be realized, and whether increased leisure will make us all happy, is a subject of importance; but it is secondary, and in a manner incidental, to another and deeper matter, which may be defined as the responsibility of attractiveness. And this responsibility takes two forms the duty of every one to be attractive, and the danger of being too attractive. To be winning and agreeable is sometimes reckoned a gift, but it is a disposition that can be cultivated; and, in a world so given to grippe and misapprehension as this is, personal attractiveness becomes a duty, if it is not an art, that might be taught in the public schools. It used to be charged against New Englanders that they regarded this gift as of little value, and were inclined to hide it under a bushel, and it was said of some of their neighbors in the Union that they exaggerated its importance, and neglected the weightier things of the law. Indeed, disputes have arisen as to what attractiveness consisted in\u2014some holding that beauty or charm of manner (which is almost as good) and sweetness and gayety were sufficient, while others held that a little intelligence sprinkled in was essential. But one thing is clear, that while women were held to strict responsibility in this matter, not stress enough was laid upon the equal duty of men to be attractive in order to make the world agreeable. Hence it is, probably, that while no question has been raised as to the effect of the higher education upon the attractiveness of men, the colleges for girls have been jealously watched as to the effect they were likely to have upon the attractiveness of women. Whether the college years of a young man, during which he knows more than he will ever know again, are his most attractive period is not considered, for he is expected to develop what is in him later on; but it is gravely questioned whether girls who give their minds to the highest studies are not dropping those graces of personal attractiveness which they will find it difficult to pick up again. Of course such a question as this could never arise except in just such a world as this is. For in an ideal world it could be shown that the highest intelligence and the highest personal charm are twins. If, therefore, it should turn out, which seems absurd, that college-educated girls are not as attractive as other women with less advantages, it will have to be admitted that something is the matter with the young ladies, which is preposterous, or that the system is still defective. For the postulate that everybody ought to be attractive cannot be abandoned for the sake of any system. Decision on this system cannot be reached without long experience, for it is always to be remembered that the man's point of view of attractiveness may shift, and he may come to regard the intellectual graces as supremely attractive; while, on the other hand, the woman student may find that a winning smile is just as effective in bringing a man to her feet, where he belongs, as a logarithm.\nThe danger of being too attractive, though it has historic illustration, is thought by many to be more apparent than real. Merely being too attractive has often been confounded with a love of flirtation and conquest, unbecoming always in a man, and excused in a woman on the ground of her helplessness. It could easily be shown that to use personal attractiveness recklessly to the extent of hopeless beguilement is cruel, and it may be admitted that woman ought to be held to strict responsibility for her attractiveness. The lines are indeed hard for her. The duty is upon her in this poor world of being as attractive as she can, and yet she is held responsible for all the mischief her attractiveness produces. As if the blazing sun should be called to account by people with weak eyes.\nWEATHER AND CHARACTER\nThe month of February in all latitudes in the United States is uncertain. The birth of George Washington in it has not raised it in public esteem. In the North, it is a month to flee from; in the South, at best it is a waiting month\u2014a month of rain and fickle skies. A good deal has been done for it. It is the month of St. Valentine, it is distinguished by the leap-year addition of a day, and ought to be a favorite of the gentle sex; but it remains a sort of off period in the year. Its brevity recommends it, but no one would take any notice of it were it not for its effect upon character. A month of rigid weather is supposed to brace up the moral nature, and a month of gentleness is supposed to soften the asperities of the disposition, but February contributes to neither of these ends. It is neither a tonic nor a soother; that is, in most parts of our inexplicable land. We make no complaint of this. It is probably well to have a period in the year that tests character to the utmost, and the person who can enter spring through the gate of February a better man or woman is likely to adorn society the rest of the year.\nFebruary, however, is merely an illustration of the effect of weather upon the disposition. Persons differ in regard to their sensitiveness to cloudy, rainy, and gloomy days. We recognize this in a general way, but the relation of temper and disposition to the weather has never been scientifically studied. Our observation of the influence of climate is mostly with regard to physical infirmities. We know the effect of damp weather upon rheumatics, and of the east wind upon gouty subjects, but too little allowance is made for the influence of weather upon the spirits and the conduct of men. We know that a long period of gloomy weather leads to suicides, and we observe that long-continued clouds and rain beget \"crossness\" and ill-temper, and we are all familiar with the universal exhilaration of sunshine and clear air upon any company of men and women. But the point we wish to make is that neither society nor the law makes any allowance for the aberrations of human nature caused by dull and unpleasant weather. And this is very singular in this humanitarian age, when excuse is found for nearly every moral delinquency in heredity or environment, that the greatest factor of discontent and crookedness, the weather, should be left out of consideration altogether. The relation of crime to the temperature and the humidity of the atmosphere is not taken into account. Yet crime and eccentricity of conduct are very much the result of atmospheric conditions, since they depend upon the temper and the spirit of the community. Many people are habitually blue and down-hearted in sour weather; a long spell of cloudy, damp, cold weather depresses everybody, lowers hope, tends to melancholy; and people when they are not cheerful are more apt to fall into evil ways, as a rule, than when they are in a normal state of good-humor. And aside from crimes, the vexation, the friction, the domestic discontent in life, are provoked by bad weather. We should like to have some statistics as to incompatibility between married couples produced by damp and raw days, and to know whether divorces are more numerous in the States that suffer from a fickle climate than in those where the climate is more equable. It is true that in the Sandwich Islands and in Egypt there is greater mental serenity, less perturbation of spirit, less worry, than in the changeable United States. Something of this placidity and resignation to the ills inevitable in human life is due to an even climate, to the constant sun and the dry air. We cannot hope to prevent crime and suffering by statistics, any more than we have been able to improve our climate (which is rather worse now than before the scientists took it in charge) by observations and telegraphic reports; but we can, by careful tabulation of the effects of bad weather upon the spirits of a community, learn what places in the Union are favorable to the production of cheerfulness and an equal mind. And we should lift a load of reprobation from some places which now have a reputation for surliness and unamiability. We find the people of one place hospitable, lighthearted, and agreeable; the people of another place cold, and morose, and unpleasant. It would be a satisfaction to know that the weather is responsible for the difference. Observation of this sort would also teach us doubtless what places are most conducive to literary production, what to happy homes and agreeing wives and husbands. All our territory is mapped out as to its sanitary conditions; why not have it colored as to its effect upon the spirits and the enjoyment of life? The suggestion opens a vast field of investigation.\nBORN WITH AN \"EGO\"\nThere used to be a notion going round that it would be a good thing for people if they were more \"self-centred.\" Perhaps there was talk of adding a course to the college curriculum, in addition to that for training the all-competent \"journalist,\" for the self-centring of the young. To apply the term to a man or woman was considered highly complimentary. The advisers of this state of mind probably meant to suggest a desirable equilibrium and mental balance; but the actual effect of the self-centred training is illustrated by a story told of Thomas H. Benton, who had been described as an egotist by some of the newspapers. Meeting Colonel Frank Blair one day, he said: \"Colonel Blair, I see that the newspapers call me an egotist. I wish you would tell me frankly, as a friend, if you think the charge is true.\" \"It is a very direct question, Mr. Benton,\" replied Colonel Blair, \"but if you want my honest opinion, I am compelled to say that I think there is some foundation for the charge.\" \"Well, sir,\" said Mr. Benton, throwing his head back and his chest forward, \"the difference between me and these little fellows is that I have an EGO!\" Mr. Benton was an interesting man, and it is a fair consideration if a certain amount of egotism does not add to the interest of any character, but at the same time the self-centred conditions shut a person off from one of the chief enjoyments to be got out of this world, namely, a recognition of what is admirable in others in a toleration of peculiarities. It is odd, almost amusing, to note how in this country people of one section apply their local standards to the judgment of people in other sections, very much as an Englishman uses his insular yardstick to measure all the rest of the world. It never seems to occur to people in one locality that the manners and speech of those of another may be just as admirable as their own, and they get a good deal of discomfort out of their intercourse with strangers by reason of their inability to adapt themselves to any ways not their own. It helps greatly to make this country interesting that nearly every State has its peculiarities, and that the inhabitants of different sections differ in manner and speech. But next to an interesting person in social value, is an agreeable one, and it would add vastly to the agreeableness of life if our widely spread provinces were not so self-centred in their notion that their own way is the best, to the degree that they criticise any deviation from it as an eccentricity. It would be a very nice world in these United States if we could all devote ourselves to finding out in communities what is likable rather than what is opposed to our experience; that is, in trying to adapt ourselves to others rather than insisting that our own standard should measure our opinion and our enjoyment of them.\nWhen the Kentuckian describes a man as a \"high-toned gentleman\" he means exactly the same that a Bostonian means when, he says that a man is a \"very good fellow,\" only the men described have a different culture, a different personal flavor; and it is fortunate that the Kentuckian is not like the Bostonian, for each has a quality that makes intercourse with him pleasant. In the South many people think they have said a severe thing when they say that a person or manner is thoroughly Yankee; and many New Englanders intend to express a considerable lack in what is essential when they say of men and women that they are very Southern. When the Yankee is produced he may turn out a cosmopolitan person of the most interesting and agreeable sort; and the Southerner may have traits and peculiarities, growing out of climate and social life unlike the New England, which are altogether charming. We talked once with a Western man of considerable age and experience who had the placid mind that is sometimes, and may more and more become, the characteristic of those who live in flat countries of illimitable horizons, who said that New Yorkers, State and city, all had an assertive sort of smartness that was very disagreeable to him. And a lady of New York (a city whose dialect the novelists are beginning to satirize) was much disturbed by the flatness of speech prevailing in Chicago, and thought something should be done in the public schools to correct the pronunciation of English. There doubtless should be a common standard of distinct, rounded, melodious pronunciation, as there is of good breeding, and it is quite as important to cultivate the voice in speaking as in singing, but the people of the United States let themselves be immensely irritated by local differences and want of toleration of sectional peculiarities. The truth is that the agreeable people are pretty evenly distributed over the country, and one's enjoyment of them is heightened not only by their differences of manner, but by the different, ways in which they look at life, unless he insists upon applying everywhere the yardstick of his own locality. If the Boston woman sets her eyeglasses at a critical angle towards the 'laisser faire' flow of social amenity in New Orleans, and the New Orleans woman seeks out only the prim and conventional in Boston, each may miss the opportunity to supplement her life by something wanting and desirable in it, to be gained by the exercise of more openness of mind and toleration. To some people Yankee thrift is disagreeable; to others, Southern shiftlessness is intolerable. To some travelers the negro of the South, with his tropical nature, his capacity for picturesque attitudes, his abundant trust in Providence, is an element of restfulness; and if the chief object of life is happiness, the traveler may take a useful hint from the race whose utmost desire, in a fit climate, would be fully satisfied by a shirt and a banana-tree. But to another traveler the dusky, careless race is a continual affront.\nIf a person is born with an \"Ego,\" and gets the most enjoyment out of the world by trying to make it revolve about himself, and cannot make-allowances for differences, we have nothing to say except to express pity for such a self-centred condition; which shuts him out of the never-failing pleasure there is in entering into and understanding with sympathy the almost infinite variety in American life.\nJUVENTUS MUNDI\nSometimes the world seems very old. It appeared so to Bernard of Cluny in the twelfth century, when he wrote:\n\"The world is very evil, The times are waning late.\"\nThere was a general impression among the Christians of the first century of our era that the end was near. The world must have seemed very ancient to the Egyptians fifteen hundred years before Christ, when the Pyramid of Cheops was a relic of antiquity, when almost the whole circle of arts, sciences, and literature had been run through, when every nation within reach had been conquered, when woman had been developed into one of the most fascinating of beings, and even reigned more absolutely than Elizabeth or Victoria has reigned since: it was a pretty tired old world at that time. One might almost say that the further we go back the older and more \"played out\" the world appears, notwithstanding that the poets, who were generally pessimists of the present, kept harping about the youth of the world and the joyous spontaneity of human life in some golden age before their time. In fact, the world is old in spots\u2014in Memphis and Boston and Damascus and Salem and Ephesus. Some of these places are venerable in traditions, and some of them are actually worn out and taking a rest from too much civilization\u2014lying fallow, as the saying is. But age is so entirely relative that to many persons the landing of the Mayflower seems more remote than the voyage of Jason, and a Mayflower chest a more antique piece of furniture than the timbers of the Ark, which some believe can still be seen on top of Mount Ararat. But, speaking generally, the world is still young and growing, and a considerable portion of it unfinished. The oldest part, indeed, the Laurentian Hills, which were first out of water, is still only sparsely settled; and no one pretends that Florida is anything like finished, or that the delta of the Mississippi is in anything more than the process of formation. Men are so young and lively in these days that they cannot wait for the slow processes of nature, but they fill up and bank up places, like Holland, where they can live; and they keep on exploring and discovering incongruous regions, like Alaska, where they can go and exercise their juvenile exuberance.\nIn many respects the world has been growing younger ever since the Christian era. A new spirit came into it then which makes youth perpetual, a spirit of living in others, which got the name of universal brotherhood, a spirit that has had a good many discouragements and set-backs, but which, on the whole, gains ground, and generally works in harmony with the scientific spirit, breaking down the exclusive character of the conquests of nature. What used to be the mystery and occultism of the few is now general knowledge, so that all the playing at occultism by conceited people now seems jejune and foolish. A little machine called the instantaneous photograph takes pictures as quickly and accurately as the human eye does, and besides makes them permanent. Instead of fooling credulous multitudes with responses from Delphi, we have a Congress which can enact tariff regulations susceptible of interpretations enough to satisfy the love of mystery of the entire nation. Instead of loafing round Memnon at sunrise to catch some supernatural tones, we talk words into a little contrivance which will repeat our words and tones to the remotest generation of those who shall be curious to know whether we said those words in jest or earnest. All these mysteries made common and diffused certainly increase the feeling of the equality of opportunity in the world. And day by day such wonderful things are discovered and scattered abroad that we are warranted in believing that we are only on the threshold of turning to account the hidden forces of nature. There would be great danger of human presumption and conceit in this progress if the conceit were not so widely diffused, and where we are all conceited there is no one to whom it will appear unpleasant. If there was only one person who knew about the telephone he would be unbearable. Probably the Eiffel Tower would be stricken down as a monumental presumption, like that of Babel, if it had not been raised with the full knowledge and consent of all the world.\nThis new spirit, with its multiform manifestations, which came into the world nearly nineteen hundred years ago, is sometimes called the spirit of Christmas. And good reasons can be given for supposing that it is. At any rate, those nations that have the most of it are the most prosperous, and those people who have the most of it are the most agreeable to associate with. Know all men by these Presents, is an old legal form which has come to have a new meaning in this dispensation. It is by the spirit of brotherhood exhibited in giving presents that we know the Christmas proper, only we are apt to take it in too narrow a way. The real spirit of Christmas is the general diffusion of helpfulness and good-will. If somebody were to discover an elixir which would make every one truthful, he would not, in this age of the world, patent it. Indeed, the Patent Office would not let him make a corner on virtue as he does in wheat; and it is not respectable any more among the real children of Christmas to make a corner in wheat. The world, to be sure, tolerates still a great many things that it does not approve of, and, on the whole, Christmas, as an ameliorating and good-fellowship institution, gains a little year by year. There is still one hitch about it, and a bad one just now, namely, that many people think they can buy its spirit by jerks of liberality, by costly gifts. Whereas the fact is that a great many of the costliest gifts in this season do not count at all. Crumbs from the rich man's table don't avail any more to open the pearly gates even of popular esteem in this world. Let us say, in fine, that a loving, sympathetic heart is better than a nickel-plated service in this world, which is surely growing young and sympathetic.\nA BEAUTIFUL OLD AGE\nIn Autumn the thoughts lightly turn to Age. If the writer has seemed to be interested, sometimes to the neglect of other topics, in the American young woman, it was not because she is interested in herself, but because she is on the way to be one of the most agreeable objects in this lovely world. She may struggle against it; she may resist it by all the legitimate arts of the coquette and the chemist; she may be convinced that youth and beauty are inseparable allies; but she would have more patience if she reflected that the sunset is often finer than the sunrise, commonly finer than noon, especially after a stormy day. The secret of a beautiful old age is as well worth seeking as that of a charming young maidenhood. For it is one of the compensations for the rest of us, in the decay of this mortal life, that women, whose mission it is to allure in youth and to tinge the beginning of the world with romance, also make the end of the world more serenely satisfactory and beautiful than the outset. And this has been done without any amendment to the Constitution of the United States; in fact, it is possible that the Sixteenth Amendment would rather hinder than help this gracious process. We are not speaking now of what is called growing old gracefully and regretfully, as something to be endured, but as a season to be desired for itself, at least by those whose privilege it is to be ennobled and cheered by it. And we are not speaking of wicked old women. There is a unique fascination\u2014all the novelists recognize it\u2014in a wicked old woman; not very wicked, but a woman of abundant experience, who is perfectly frank and a little cynical, and delights in probing human nature and flashing her wit on its weaknesses, and who knows as much about life as a club man is credited with knowing. She may not be a good comrade for the young, but she is immensely more fascinating than a semi-wicked old man. Why, we do not know; that is one of the unfathomable mysteries of womanhood. No; we have in mind quite another sort of woman, of which America has so many that they are a very noticeable element in all cultivated society. And the world has nothing more lovely. For there is a loveliness or fascination sometimes in women between the ages of sixty and eighty that is unlike any other\u2014a charm that woos us to regard autumn as beautiful as spring.\nPerhaps these women were great beauties in their day, but scarcely so serenely beautiful as now when age has refined all that was most attractive. Perhaps they were plain; but it does not matter, for the subtle influence of spiritualized-intelligence has the power of transforming plainness into the beauty of old age. Physical beauty is doubtless a great advantage, and it is never lost if mind shines through it (there is nothing so unlovely as a frivolous old woman fighting to keep the skin-deep beauty of her youth); the eyes, if the life has not been one of physical suffering, usually retain their power of moving appeal; the lines of the face, if changed, may be refined by a certain spirituality; the gray hair gives dignity and softness and the charm of contrast; the low sweet voice vibrates to the same note of femininity, and the graceful and gracious are graceful and gracious still. Even into the face and bearing of the plain woman whose mind has grown, whose thoughts have been pure, whose heart has been expanded by good deeds or by constant affection, comes a beauty winning and satisfactory in the highest degree.\nIt is not that the charm of the women of whom we speak is mainly this physical beauty; that is only incidental, as it were. The delight in their society has a variety of sources. Their interest in life is broader than it once was, more sympathetically unselfish; they have a certain philosophical serenity that is not inconsistent with great liveliness of mind; they have got rid of so much nonsense; they can afford to be truthful\u2014and how much there is to be learned from a woman who is truthful! they have a most delicious courage of opinion, about men, say, and in politics, and social topics, and creeds even. They have very little any longer to conceal; that is, in regard to things that should be thought about and talked about at all. They are not afraid to be gay, and to have enthusiasms. At sixty and eighty a refined and well-bred woman is emancipated in the best way, and in the enjoyment of the full play of the richest qualities of her womanhood. She is as far from prudery as from the least note of vulgarity. Passion, perhaps, is replaced by a great capacity for friendliness, and she was never more a real woman than in these mellow and reflective days. And how interesting she is\u2014adding so much knowledge of life to the complex interest that inheres in her sex! Knowledge of life, yes, and of affairs; for it must be said of these ladies we have in mind that they keep up with the current thought, that they are readers of books, even of newspapers\u2014for even the newspaper can be helpful and not harmful in the alembic of their minds.\nLet not the purpose of this paper be misunderstood. It is not to urge young women to become old or to act like old women. The independence and frankness of age might not be becoming to them. They must stumble along as best they can, alternately attracting and repelling, until by right of years they join that serene company which is altogether beautiful. There is a natural unfolding and maturing to the beauty of old age. The mission of woman, about which we are pretty weary of hearing, is not accomplished by any means in her years of vernal bloom and loveliness; she has equal power to bless and sweeten life in the autumn of her pilgrimage. But here is an apologue: The peach, from blossom to maturity, is the most attractive of fruits. Yet the demands of the market, competition, and fashion often cause it to be plucked and shipped while green. It never matures, though it may take a deceptive richness of color; it decays without ripening. And the last end of that peach is worse than the first.\nTHE ATTRACTION OF THE REPULSIVE\nOn one of the most charming of the many wonderfully picturesque little beaches on the Pacific coast, near Monterey, is the idlest if not the most disagreeable social group in the world. Just off the shore, farther than a stone's-throw, lies a mass of broken rocks. The surf comes leaping and laughing in, sending up, above the curving green breakers and crests of foam, jets and spirals of water which flash like silver fountains in the sunlight. These islets of rocks are the homes of the sea-lion. This loafer of the coast congregates here by the thousand. Sometimes the rocks are quite covered, the smooth rounded surface of the larger one presenting the appearance at a distance of a knoll dotted with dirty sheep. There is generally a select knot of a dozen floating about in the still water under the lee of the rock, bobbing up their tails and flippers very much as black driftwood might heave about in the tide. During certain parts of the day members of this community are off fishing in deep water; but what they like best to do is to crawl up on the rocks and grunt and bellow, or go to sleep in the sun. Some of them lie half in water, their tails floating and their ungainly heads wagging. These uneasy ones are always wriggling out or plunging in. Some crawl to the tops of the rocks and lie like gunny bags stuffed with meal, or they repose on the broken surfaces like masses of jelly. When they are all at home the rocks have not room for them, and they crawl on and over each other, and lie like piles of undressed pork. In the water they are black, but when they are dry in the sun the skin becomes a dirty light brown. Many of them are huge fellows, with a body as big as an ox. In the water they are repulsively graceful; on the rocks they are as ungainly as boneless cows, or hogs that have lost their shape in prosperity. Summer and winter (and it is almost always summer on this coast) these beasts, which are well fitted neither for land nor water, spend their time in absolute indolence, except when they are compelled to cruise around in the deep water for food. They are of no use to anybody, either for their skin or their flesh. Nothing could be more thoroughly disgusting and uncanny than they are, and yet nothing more fascinating. One can watch them\u2014the irresponsible, formless lumps of intelligent flesh\u2014for hours without tiring. I scarcely know what the fascination is. A small seal playing by himself near the shore, floating on and diving under the breakers, is not so very disagreeable, especially if he comes so near that you can see his pathetic eyes; but these brutes in this perpetual summer resort are disgustingly attractive. Nearly everything about them, including their voice, is repulsive. Perhaps it is the absolute idleness of the community that makes it so interesting. To fish, to swim, to snooze on the rocks, that is all, for ever and ever. No past, no future. A society that lives for the laziest sort of pleasure. If they were rich, what more could they have? Is not this the ideal of a watering-place life?\nThe spectacle of this happy community ought to teach us humility and charity in judgment. Perhaps the philosophy of its attractiveness lies deeper than its 'dolce far niente' existence. We may never have considered the attraction for us of the disagreeable, the positive fascination of the uncommonly ugly. The repulsive fascination of the loathly serpent or dragon for women can hardly be explained on theological grounds. Some cranks have maintained that the theory of gravitation alone does not explain the universe, that repulsion is as necessary as attraction in our economy. This may apply to society. We are all charmed with the luxuriance of a semi-tropical landscape, so violently charmed that we become in time tired of its overpowering bloom and color. But what is the charm of the wide, treeless desert, the leagues of sand and burnt-up chaparral, the distant savage, fantastic mountains, the dry desolation as of a world burnt out? It is not contrast altogether. For this illimitable waste has its own charm; and again and again, when we come to a world of vegetation, where the vision is shut in by beauty, we shall have an irrepressible longing for these wind-swept plains as wide as the sea, with the ashy and pink horizons. We shall long to be weary of it all again\u2014its vast nakedness, its shimmering heat, its cold, star-studded nights. It seems paradoxical, but it is probably true, that a society composed altogether of agreeable people would become a terrible bore. We are a \"kittle\" lot, and hard to please for long. We know how it is in the matter of climate. Why is it that the masses of the human race live in the most disagreeable climates to be found on the globe, subject to extremes of heat and cold, sudden and unprovoked changes, frosts, fogs, malarias? In such regions they congregate, and seem to like the vicissitudes, to like the excitement of the struggle with the weather and the patent medicines to keep alive. They hate the agreeable monotony of one genial day following another the year through. They praise this monotony, all literature is full of it; people always say they are in search of the equable climate; but they continue to live, nevertheless, or try to live, in the least equable; and if they can find one spot more disagreeable than another there they build a big city. If man could make his ideal climate he would probably be dissatisfied with it in a month. The effect of climate upon disposition and upon manners needs to be considered some day; but we are now only trying to understand the attractiveness of the disagreeable. There must be some reason for it; and that would explain a social phenomenon, why there are so many unattractive people, and why the attractive readers of these essays could not get on without them.\nThe writer of this once traveled for days with an intelligent curmudgeon, who made himself at all points as prickly as the porcupine. There was no getting on with him. And yet when he dropped out of the party he was sorely missed. He was more attractively repulsive than the sea-lion. It was such a luxury to hate him. He was such a counter-irritant, such a stimulant; such a flavor he gave to life. We are always on the lookout for the odd, the eccentric, the whimsical. We pretend that we like the orderly, the beautiful, the pleasant. We can find them anywhere\u2014the little bits of scenery that please the eye, the pleasant households, the group of delightful people. Why travel, then? We want the abnormal, the strong, the ugly, the unusual at least. We wish to be startled and stirred up and repelled. And we ought to be more thankful than we are that there are so many desolate and wearisome and fantastic places, and so many tiresome and unattractive people in this lovely world.\nGIVING AS A LUXURY\nThere must be something very good in human nature, or people would not experience so much pleasure in giving; there must be something very bad in human nature, or more people would try the experiment of giving. Those who do try it become enamored of it, and get their chief pleasure in life out of it; and so evident is this that there is some basis for the idea that it is ignorance rather than badness which keeps so many people from being generous. Of course it may become a sort of dissipation, or more than that, a devastation, as many men who have what are called \"good wives\" have reason to know, in the gradual disappearance of their wardrobe if they chance to lay aside any of it temporarily. The amount that a good woman can give away is only measured by her opportunity. Her mind becomes so trained in the mystery of this pleasure that she experiences no thrill of delight in giving away only the things her husband does not want. Her office in life is to teach him the joy of self-sacrifice. She and all other habitual and irreclaimable givers soon find out that there is next to no pleasure in a gift unless it involves some self-denial.\nLet one consider seriously whether he ever gets as much satisfaction out of a gift received as out of one given. It pleases him for the moment, and if it is useful, for a long time; he turns it over, and admires it; he may value it as a token of affection, and it flatters his self-esteem that he is the object of it. But it is a transient feeling compared with that he has when he has made a gift. That substantially ministers to his self-esteem. He follows the gift; he dwells upon the delight of the receiver; his imagination plays about it; it will never wear out or become stale; having parted with it, it is for him a lasting possession. It is an investment as lasting as that in the debt of England. Like a good deed, it grows, and is continually satisfactory. It is something to think of when he first wakes in the morning\u2014a time when most people are badly put to it for want of something pleasant to think of. This fact about giving is so incontestably true that it is a wonder that enlightened people do not more freely indulge in giving for their own comfort. It is, above all else, amazing that so many imagine they are going to get any satisfaction out of what they leave by will. They may be in a state where they will enjoy it, if the will is not fought over; but it is shocking how little gratitude there is accorded to a departed giver compared to a living giver. He couldn't take the property with him, it is said; he was obliged to leave it to somebody. By this thought his generosity is always reduced to a minimum. He may build a monument to himself in some institution, but we do not know enough of the world to which he has gone to know whether a tiny monument on this earth is any satisfaction to a person who is free of the universe. Whereas every giving or deed of real humanity done while he was living would have entered into his character, and would be of lasting service to him\u2014that is, in any future which we can conceive.\nOf course we are not confining our remarks to what are called Christmas gifts\u2014commercially so called\u2014nor would we undertake to estimate the pleasure there is in either receiving or giving these. The shrewd manufacturers of the world have taken notice of the periodic generosity of the race, and ingeniously produce articles to serve it, that is, to anticipate the taste and to thwart all individuality or spontaneity in it. There is, in short, what is called a \"line of holiday goods,\" fitting, it may be supposed, the periodic line of charity. When a person receives some of these things in the blessed season of such, he is apt to be puzzled. He wants to know what they are for, what he is to do with them. If there are no \"directions\" on the articles, his gratitude is somewhat tempered. He has seen these nondescripts of ingenuity and expense in the shop windows, but he never expected to come into personal relations to them. He is puzzled, and he cannot escape the unpleasant feeling that commerce has put its profit-making fingers into Christmas. Such a lot of things seem to be manufactured on purpose that people may perform a duty that is expected of them in the holidays. The house is full of these impossible things; they occupy the mantelpieces, they stand about on the tottering little tables, they are ingenious, they are made for wants yet undiscovered, they tarnish, they break, they will not \"work,\" and pretty soon they look \"second-hand.\" Yet there must be more satisfaction in giving these articles than in receiving them, and maybe a spice of malice\u2014not that of course, for in the holidays nearly every gift expresses at least kindly remembrance\u2014but if you give them you do not have to live with them. But consider how full the world is of holiday goods\u2014costly goods too\u2014that are of no earthly use, and are not even artistic, and how short life is, and how many people actually need books and other indispensable articles, and how starved are many fine drawing-rooms, not for holiday goods, but for objects of beauty.\nChristmas stands for much, and for more and more in a world that is breaking down its barriers of race and religious intolerance, and one of its chief offices has been supposed to be the teaching of men the pleasure there is in getting rid of some of their possessions for the benefit of others. But this frittering away a good instinct and tendency in conventional giving of manufactures made to suit an artificial condition is hardly in the line of developing the spirit that shares the last crust or gives to the thirsty companion in the desert the first pull at the canteen. Of course Christmas feeling is the life of trade and all that, and we will be the last to discourage any sort of giving, for one can scarcely disencumber himself of anything in his passage through this world and not be benefited; but the hint may not be thrown away that one will personally get more satisfaction out of his periodic or continual benevolence if he gives during his life the things which he wants and other people need, and reserves for a fine show in his will a collected but not selected mass of holiday goods.\nCLIMATE AND HAPPINESS\nThe idea of the relation of climate to happiness is modern. It is probably born of the telegraph and of the possibility of rapid travel, and it is more disturbing to serenity of mind than any other. Providence had so ordered it that if we sat still in almost any region of the globe except the tropics we would have, in course of the year, almost all the kinds of climate that exist. The ancient societies did not trouble themselves about the matter; they froze or thawed, were hot or cold, as it pleased the gods. They did not think of fleeing from winter any more than from the summer solstice, and consequently they enjoyed a certain contentment of mind that is absent from modern life. We are more intelligent, and therefore more discontented and unhappy. We are always trying to escape winter when we are not trying to escape summer. We are half the time 'in transitu', flying hither and thither, craving that exact adaptation of the weather to our whimsical bodies promised only to the saints who seek a \"better country.\" There are places, to be sure, where nature is in a sort of equilibrium, but usually those are places where we can neither make money nor spend it to our satisfaction. They lack either any stimulus to ambition or a historic association, and we soon find that the mind insists upon being cared for quite as much as the body.\nHow many wanderers in the past winter left comfortable homes in the United States to seek a mild climate! Did they find it in the sleet and bone-piercing cold of Paris, or anywhere in France, where the wolves were forced to come into the villages in the hope of picking up a tender child? If they traveled farther, were the railway carriages anything but refrigerators tempered by cans of cooling water? Was there a place in Europe from Spain to Greece, where the American could once be warm \u2014really warm without effort\u2014in or out of doors? Was it any better in divine Florence than on the chill Riviera? Northern Italy was blanketed with snow, the Apennines were white, and through the clean streets of the beautiful town a raw wind searched every nook and corner, penetrating through the thickest of English wraps, and harder to endure than ingratitude, while a frosty mist enveloped all. The traveler forgot to bring with him the contented mind of the Italian. Could he go about in a long cloak and a slouch hat, curl up in doorways out of the blast, and be content in a feeling of his own picturesqueness? Could he sit all day on the stone pavement and hold out his chilblained hand for soldi? Could he even deceive himself, in a palatial apartment with a frescoed ceiling, by an appearance of warmth in two sticks ignited by a pine cone set in an aperture in one end of the vast room, and giving out scarcely heat enough to drive the swallows from the chimney? One must be born to this sort of thing in order to enjoy it. He needs the poetic temperament which can feel in January the breath of June. The pampered American is not adapted to this kind of pleasure. He is very crude, not to say barbarous, yet in many of his tastes, but he has reached one of the desirable things in civilization, and that is a thorough appreciation of physical comfort. He has had the ingenuity to protect himself in his own climate, but when he travels he is at the mercy of customs and traditions in which the idea of physical comfort is still rudimentary. He cannot warm himself before a group of statuary, or extract heat from a canvas by Raphael, nor keep his teeth from chattering by the exquisite view from the Boboli Gardens. The cold American is insensible to art, and shivers in the presence of the warmest historical associations. It is doubtful if there is a spot in Europe where he can be ordinarily warm in winter. The world, indeed, does not care whether he is warm or not, but it is a matter of great importance to him. As he wanders from palace to palace\u2014and he cannot escape the impression that nothing is good enough for him except a palace\u2014he cannot think of any cottage in any hamlet in America that is not more comfortable in winter than any palace he can find. And so he is driven on in cold and weary stretches of travel to dwell among the French in Algeria, or with the Jews in Tunis, or the Moslems in Cairo. He longs for warmth as the Crusader longed for Jerusalem, but not short of Africa shall he find it. The glacial period is coming back on Europe.\nThe citizens of the great republic have a reputation for inordinate self-appreciation, but we are thinking that they undervalue many of the advantages their ingenuity has won. It is admitted that they are restless, and must always be seeking something that they have not at home. But aside from their ability to be warm in any part of their own country at any time of the year, where else can they travel three thousand miles on a stretch in a well-heated\u2014too much heated\u2014car, without change of car, without revision of tickets, without encountering a customhouse, without the necessity of stepping outdoors either for food or drink, for a library, for a bath\u2014for any item, in short, that goes to the comfort of a civilized being? And yet we are always prating of the superior civilization of Europe. Nay, more, the traveler steps into a car\u2014which is as comfortable as a house\u2014in Boston, and alights from it only in the City of Mexico. In what other part of the world can that achievement in comfort and convenience be approached?\nBut this is not all as to climate and comfort. We have climates of all sorts within easy reach, and in quantity, both good and bad, enough to export more in fact than we need of all sorts. If heat is all we want, there are only three or four days between the zero of Maine and the 80 deg. of Florida. If New England is inhospitable and New York freezing, it is only a matter of four days to the sun and the exhilarating air of New Mexico and Arizona, and only five to the oranges and roses of that semi-tropical kingdom by the sea, Southern California. And if this does not content us, a day or two more lands us, without sea-sickness, in the land of the Aztecs, where we can live in the temperate or the tropic zone, eat strange fruits, and be reminded of Egypt and Spain and Italy, and see all the colors that the ingenuity of man has been able to give his skin. Fruits and flowers and sun in the winter-time, a climate to lounge and be happy in\u2014all this is within easy reach, with the minimum of disturbance to our daily habits. We started out, when we turned our backs on the Old World, with the declaration that all men are free, and entitled to life, liberty, and the pursuit of an agreeable climate. We have yet to learn, it seems, that we can indulge in that pursuit best on our own continent. There is no winter climate elsewhere to compare with that found in our extreme Southwest or in Mexico, and the sooner we put this fact into poetry and literature, and begin to make a tradition of it, the better will it be for our peace of mind and for our children. And if the continent does not satisfy us, there lie the West Indies within a few hours' sail, with all the luxuriance and geniality of the tropics. We are only half emancipated yet. We are still apt to see the world through the imagination of England, whose literature we adopted, or of Germany. To these bleak lands Italy was a paradise, and was so sung by poets who had no conception of a winter without frost. We have a winter climate of another sort from any in Europe; we have easy and comfortable access to it. The only thing we need to do now is to correct our imagination, which has been led astray. Our poets can at least do this for us by the help of a quasi-international copyright.\nTHE NEW FEMININE RESERVE\nIn times past there have been expressed desire and fear that there should be an American aristocracy, and the materials for its formation have been a good deal canvassed. In a political point of view it is of course impossible, but it has been hoped by many, and feared by more, that a social state might be created conforming somewhat to the social order in European countries. The problem has been exceedingly difficult. An aristocracy of derived rank and inherited privilege being out of the question, and an aristocracy of talent never having succeeded anywhere, because enlightenment of mind tends to liberalism and democracy, there was only left the experiment of an aristocracy of wealth. This does very well for a time, but it tends always to disintegration, and it is impossible to keep it exclusive. It was found, to use the slang of the dry-goods shops, that it would not wash, for there were liable to crowd into it at any moment those who had in fact washed for a living. An aristocracy has a slim tenure that cannot protect itself from this sort of intrusion. We have to contrive, therefore, another basis for a class (to use an un-American expression), in a sort of culture or training, which can be perpetual, and which cannot be ordered for money, like a ball costume or a livery.",

        "raw_content": "Anime At HIFF 38- MIRAI\nOne of my favorite things about living in Hawai\u2019i is the opportunity to see animated features from other countries on the big screen. The films mainly come from Japan which has some of the best creators of the genre in the world rivaling even Walt Disney himself in my opinion. This year at the 38th Hawai\u2019i International Film Festival I had the opportunity to see MIRAI without knowing anymore than the small description listed in the catalog. As usual I was very pleased with the film and story it told.\nPer usual with Japanese animated films, human emotions experienced throughout life were at the forefront of MIRAI. It is told with a mix of reality and childhood imagination that Japanese creators seem to capture so well. Kun is the protagonist. He is a young boy that must deal with the changing family dynamics when his mother and father give birth to a newborn girl. Kun is no longer the center of attention and must must accept this abrupt change. The film moves through emotions such as jealousy, anger, acceptance, loneliness, growing up, love, and finally understanding. To accomplish this the film takes the viewer on a journey through time with the occasional company of spirits. To sum the film up, Kun comes to realize all of the connections one must make to understand life. For most, this epiphany comes much later in life.\nFuture Mirai and Kun bonding.\nWhat I love about the film is how perfectly they capture the emotions of an inexperienced child trying to understand the changing world around them with only a very basic understanding of the world. Through Kun the viewer learns the connections between parents, their grand parents, and the experiences they share. These experiences trickle down from one generation to the next and shape one from a very early age. Not only the past but Kun also meets future iterations of his new sister, himself, and even the spirit of the family dog. Adventures ensue, mischief is undertaken, and fun is had.\nTrue to Japanese anime, everything is captured with matched facial expressions and body language. Scenes are vibrant and detailed as well with the usual emphasis on familiar everyday Japanese items. The city in which the family lives would have to be a real city with all of the detail put into the establishing shots. I was very pleased with the character voicing, music, and artwork stylization that changed depending on in Kun was in the past or future.\nSituations in the film that arise are very relatable, engage easily, and connect emotionally. The movie as a whole keeps things light and funny throughout while passing along the ultimate lesson of understanding. It\u2019s a lesson that seems lost in today\u2019s society where no one seems able to consider a difference of opinion or how others pasts shape whom they are today\u2026 the basic childhood lessons of \u201cput yourself in the other person\u2019s shoes\u201d or that one isn\u2019t the most important person in the universe.",

        "raw_content": "Dozens of countries, including the United States and most of the European Union, have recognized Guaido as Venezuela's interim president, arguing that Maduro's re-election was invalid because his strongest opponents were barred from running.\nThe spokesman for Guterres, St\u00e9phane Dujarric, said that Guterres \"supports the efforts of the global community that will help find a political solution\" to the situation in Venezuela.\nAfter President Nicolas Maduro rejected an ultimatum to call snap presidential elections, Spain, Germany, France and Britain led a run of European countries in individually recognizing the young National Assembly leader on Monday and called on him to organize free and fair polls soon.\nMost members of the Lima Group, which aims to peacefully resolve the Venezuela crisis, have said Maduro should quit in favor of Guaido and have called for new elections.\nTensions have mounted in the South American nation with Maduro refusing the opposition's calls to step down.\nGuaido knows he also needs the armed forces on his side to dislodge Maduro, although he was boosted on Saturday by the defection of a top air force general.\nHis fledgling alternative administration will hold talks in Washington February 14 on responding to \"the largest hemispheric humanitarian crisis in modern history\". \"The kind of democracy which political protesters in Canada do enjoy and, I am sad to say, political protesters in Venezuela do not\".\n\"If anyone believes that his management of the economy is in any way an example of how to go about it, then they need their heads examined\".\nThe U.S. has led an worldwide campaign to put economic and diplomatic pressure on Maduro, including the imposition of sanctions on the country's state-owned oil company.\n- Turkey has also backed Maduro in contrast with its North Atlantic Treaty Organisation allies while Iran has accused the United States of seeking \"world hegemony\".\n\"Under Maduro's stewardship, oil-dependent Venezuela has plunged into an economic crisis, suffering from hyperinflation and shortages of food and medicine\". \"He wants us to be poor\". The government on January 21 said it suppressed a military revolt after a group of officers stole weapons, kidnapped officers, and demanded Maduro's removal. \"It has a rich experience in the Syrian conflict, in which a great number of parties are involved and where religious issue plays a significant role, so its experience would be a great support\", the ambassador said during a roundtable discussion in Moscow on the current political crisis in Venezuela.\n\"The United Nations said 40 people were killed in clashes with security forces in a week of protests last month, coinciding with Guaido's self-proclamation as acting leader\".",

The article states that it fails to understand why Diego Rivera likes to be called a \u201cpainter of agave sap saloons\u201d when the truth is he studied at the Academies of Mexico and with the best painters in Spain and France. Rivera is not just trying to \u201c\u00e9pater [le bourgeois]\u201d [shock the middle-class] but rather to \u201ccrever les yeux\u201d [blind] the bourgeois man. If we were to allow this idea, we would cause regression not just to early Italian artworks, albeit back to the early artwork of the very Aztecs. The article provides an extended quote about easel painting, though it assures the reader that it is not in favor of dogmatism.\nOnce the ongoing dispute passed its peak, the newspaper began to listen to the voices of critics such as Pedro Henriquez Ure\u00f1a (1884\u20131946), Ricardo G\u00f3mez Robelo (1884\u20131924) who would later write for El Dem\u00f3crata, and Julio Torri (1889\u20131970). No sooner did a discussion ensue on which was best, mural painting or easel painting, than the issue became politicized. The forum that opened up among the artists led to the formation of the Sindicato de Obreros T\u00e9cnicos, Pintores y Escultores (SOTPE) [Union of Technical Workers, Painters and Sculptors], which clarified that easel painting was for bourgeois tastes, and only mural painting had implications that were both didactic and revolutionary.",

The numbers don\u2019t lie, Staal is not a shutdown centerman.\nIt is one of the biggest myth\u2019s that has followed Staal the past two seasons.\nStaal at age 20 has not reached his potential but because of the presence of Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby, it is often forgotten that Staal was a former 2nd overall pick.\nIn year 3, expectations for Staal should be higher and he needs to start meeting those expectations, sooner rather than later, if the Penguins want to have a chance to do what many think is impossible, and that\u2019s winning four of five games from the Detroit Red Wings.\nWe\u2019re not talking about the role of putting the puck in the net consistently. We\u2019re talking about the role of playing a third line role effectively and scoring a timely goal which is what the Red Wings are getting from their 3rd and 4th line wingers.\nBy the way none of them are former 2nd overall picks.\nLinemates Jordan Staal and Tyler Kennedy are a combined -13 in eight career Stanley Cup Games.

Is there a need to revise statuses of Orthodox Primates? What is the way to avoid division between Orthodox Churches and to make all Orthodox Churches recognize the Orthodox Church in America as soon as possible? Head of the Synodal Department for External Church Relations Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk answers these questions in his interview with Interfax-Religion.\n- Recently, reports have spread all over the world about the events in Egypt's Giza where radical Muslim groups killed people and set on fire two Christians churches. Are there real threats to Christianity in the Middle East?\n- The Middle East is the cradle of Christianity. The history of Orthodoxy is inseparably linked with this region. There are four old Orthodox Patriarchates there, those of Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch and Jerusalem, and the old Archdioceses of Cyprus and Sinai. In history, the eastern Mediterranean repeatedly became an arena of political and religious wars, and Christians were often victims of those conflicts.\nChristians and non-Christians managed to achieve peaceful coexistence in some countries of the region, and Egypt was considered one of the examples of such coexistence between the Muslim majority and the Christian minority. However, the tragedy of the last months, beginning from the terrorist attack committed at the Coptic church in Alexandria during the night of January 1, 2011, to the recent arsons in Giza, have stirred up anxiety and pain among millions of believers around the world.\nToday's developments in Egypt are only a part of the more global process affecting the life of Christians in a number of countries. If the authorities in the Middle East states do not take special measures to protect Christians we will soon see another wave of their emigration.\nThe escalation of Christianophobia in some countries of the Middle East is fraught with very serious consequences for Orthodoxy since it threatens the life of the oldest Local Churches and dooms them to a life without any rights. There is great anxiety about the preservation of common Christian shrines concentrated in those primordially Christian territories. But the greatest pain is over people's ruined life, over those who have had to flee from oppression or to suffer from persecution and sometimes even death at the hands of extremists.\nI would like to underscore that by no means radical Islamism and extremism under Islamic slogans should be identified with Islam which preach tolerance between people of different religions. I had an occasion to see it a few days ago when I met with the president, professors and students of Al-Azhar, the world largest Islamic university. This university sets as its principal tasks to educate young Muslims in the spirit of tolerance.\nI was also deeply moved by a letter sent by Farid Salman, chairman of the Council of Ulemas under All Russia's Muftiate, to the president of Al-Azhar, expressing sincere concern over the forced exodus of Christians from Muslim lands. This letter states in particular, 'The continued exodus of Christians from the Middle East countries, attacks on churches and monasteries, the killing of clergy and the hostage-taking of Christians is the best present that could be given to overt and covert enemies of Islam'.\nRadicalism, fundamentalism and extremism are common enemies for both Christianity and Islam. And the priority task of the leaders of traditional religions today is to educate their flock for not just tolerance towards people of different views and different faith but for love of them. It is only through common efforts that we can stop the wave of extremism which has engulfed the Middle East posing a threat to the very survival of Christianity in some countries in that region.\n- Recently it has become known that Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople intends to invite the primates of the five old Churches to a special conference on the situation of Orthodoxy in the Middle East. What does the Russian Orthodox Church expect from this gathering?\n- As far as we know, the proposed meeting will have as its subject the situation of Orthodoxy in the Middle East - the place of four old Patriarchates and the Archdiocese of Cyprus which traces back to the apostolic times. In this regard, the meeting in Constantinople will be another one, similar to the meeting which took place last year in Cyprus on the initiative of Archbishop Chrysostom of Cyprus. That meeting was attended by the Primates of the Churches of Alexandria, Antioch, Jerusalem and Cyprus.\nIn the recent months the political situation in the Middle East has become more tense and the problem concerning the situation and prospects of Orthodoxy in the region has become more acute. The urgency of such a meeting in face of so serious a threat is quite understandable.\nAt the same time, there are reports that the agenda of the proposed gathering has also included pan-Orthodox issues arising in the course of preparations for the forthcoming Great Council of the Orthodox Church. And the inclusion of pan-Orthodox issues has been motivated by a special role played by the Churches whose autocephaly is confirmed by Ecumenical Councils and who constitute, as it were, 'the pillar' of the world Orthodoxy.\nWe hold the authority of the old Patriarchates in special respect. But if the matter is common affairs then it is necessary to deliberate all together in accordance with the commonly accepted principles of pan-Orthodox cooperation. Indeed, our common goal is to consolidate the efforts of all Local Churches, regardless of the history of their emergence, in the face of various challenges of our time.\nAnd we certainly cannot agree that a particular group of Churches is regarded as 'the pillar' of world Orthodoxy on the grounds that their autocephaly is older than that of other Churches, for in this case there is a threat of dividing Orthodoxy into first-rate Churches and second-rate Churches. If the Pan-Orthodox Council is to be prepared and conducted properly we should be guided by the ecclesiological concepts which unite Orthodox Churches rather than create new concepts capable of bringing in division and trouble.\n- In this connection, how would you comment on the recent claims of Archbishop Chrysostom of Cyprus to the fifth place in the order of Orthodox Primates?\n- In the pre-Council process, the representatives of the Church of Cyprus have advocated the principles of ancience for many years now and proposed that it be put in the basis of the diptych. It is clear however that a consistent use of these principles would result in a radical review of the order of the Primates. In this case, the first place would have to be given to the Patriarch of Jerusalem as head of 'the Mother Church' to be followed by the Primates of Antioch and Cyprus since the apostles' preaching in these Churches is recorded in the New Testament. The next one would be the Pope of Alexandria whose throne came into prominence in the first three centuries of Christianity. The next one would be the Patriarch of Constantinople and the rest.\nThe canonical tradition of the Church knows of other principles of ordering the diptych, whereby Archbishop of Constantinople, considering the ecclesio-political significance of the capital city of the Byzantine Empire, was placed in the 4th century above the heads of the Churches of Alexandria and Antioch, apostolic as they were in there origin. In the same century Jerusalem, restored on the ruins of the ravaged Jewish capital, was given the fifth place to become the fourth after the rupture with Rome in 1054.\nShould we today subject to a radical review the legacy of the holy fathers of the Ecumenical Councils? As a reminder, the same patristic principles guided the fathers of the Constantinople Councils of 1590 and 1593, which not only granted the title of Patriarch to the head of the Russian Church but also confirmed his fifth place in the diptych for all the centuries to come.\nRelying on the words of St. Paul, who said, 'No doubt there have to be differences among you to show which of you have God's approval' (1 Cor. 11:19), I am convinced that the matter of ordering the diptych cannot in any way influence our traditionally friendly relations with the Archdiocese of Cyprus and its Primate. This is precisely the reason for the existence of councils in the Church so that all arising perplexities may be resolved in the spirit of peace and fraternal love and preferences may be given to those who have God's approval.\nAt the same time, it would be the most important thing for the people of God to manifest our unity and to show to the world that the Orthodox have not lost the Spirit of Christ and are still capable of living up to the commandments of the One Who said, 'By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another' (Jn. 13:35) and 'It shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant' (Mt. 20:26).\nThat is why I believe that any review of the diptych whatsoever should not be initiated now. Any further discussion on this theme can only put off the convening of a Holy and Great Council of the Orthodox Church, while this Council is what our flock expect from us. And the people of God not at all expect from us a decision as to the order in which Primates of our Church should be placed in the diptych. They rather expect from us a powerful and inspired witness to the truth of Christ; they expect answers to the questions of how the Orthodox Christian should live in the modern world. Let us hold the Council and show to the whole world that we are united and unanimous and that we are capable of responding to the challenges of our time 'with one mind and one voice'. And let us leave the question of which of the Primates should take which place for the post-Council time.\n- Beside the problem of order, are there any differences in the number of primates included in the diptych of various Local Churches? And what are the reasons for these differences?\n- The reason is recognition or non-recognition of the autocephalous status of the Orthodox Church in America. Along with the Russian Orthodox Church, the one who granted autocephaly to the former American Metropolia in 1970, this status of the Church in America is recognized by some other Local Churches.\nNevertheless, regardless of recognition or non-recognition of the autocephaly of the Orthodox Church in America, nobody challenges the canonicity of her archpastors and clergy. It enables her to be a full-fledged participant in the common life of the Church by sending her representatives to numerous inter-Orthodox meetings. The more bishops and priests of this Church participate in common church events, the sooner, I believe, this matter of the pan-Orthodox recognition of her status will be settled.\nAnd it is very important that the Primate of this Church, equally with Primates of other Local Orthodox Churches, should participate in inter-Orthodox events every time when invited. Indeed, the presence of the Primate of the American Church in inter-Orthodox events will be the most eloquent testimony that this Church is serious about her autocephaly and makes efforts to have this autocephaly recognized by other Local Orthodox Churches as well.",

        "raw_content": "A Love and Revenge Story, according to the Beatles\nIs there anybody going to watch and listen to this story all about the girl who came to stay? Because Emilly Thorne is the kind of girl you want so much it makes you sorry, still you don\u00b4t regret a single day. But, be careful, because she\u00b4s the kind of girl who puts you down, when friends are there and you feel a fool. Daniel should know. His mother should know. Your mother should know. Everybody should know, except him.\nWhen he saw her, at first time, he thought: \"There were bells on a hill, but I never heard them ringing. No, I never heard them at all, 'till there was you\". Finally, he told her: \"I'm in love for the first time. Don't you know it's gonna last? I'ts a love that lasts forever. It's a love that has no past. So, please, love me do and don't let me down, never\".\nThere's someone else who's watching Emilly and thinking, while my guitar gently weeps and she's walking along the beach: \"Something in the way she moves, and all I have to do is think of her. Something in her style that shows me. I don't know, I don't know, but I just know I don't want to leave her now. You know I believe and how\". Another admirer says: \"Her Majesty is a pretty nice girl, but she changes from day to day. I wanna tell her that I love her a lot, but I gotta get a belly full of wine. It doesn't matter. Someday I'm gonna make her mine\". Closer to her, Aiden keeps telling her: \"I wanna be your lover, baby. I wanna be your man. Love you like no other baby. Like no other can\". And she answers: \"I don't want you, but I need you. Don't want to kiss you, but I need to. You do me wrong now. My love is strong now. You really got a hold on me\".\nAfter a long cold lonely winter, a new season is coming. Here comes the sun. Emilly is coming to change Grayson's life in a Helter Skelter. Victoria's got the devil in her heart. Conrad's it too. Charllotte's leaving home, after living alone, for so many years, but, when she finds herself in times of trouble, mother Victoria comes to her, speaking words of wisdom, let it be. Since Daniel is Grayson Global's president, he needs to pay attention, when someone tells him: \"Baby, you're a rich man. So, you should keep all your money in a big brown bag, inside a zoo, instead of investing it all in Amanda Clarke Foundation. But, now, boy, you're gonna carry that weight and carry that weight for a long time\".\nEmilly's got a hard day's night, especially after a party, and her plains are coming true, with a little help from her friends, like Nolan, for example. When she went and came back from Japan, Jack said her: \"I'm looking through you, where did you go? I thought I knew you. What did I know? You don't look different, but you have changed. I'm looking through you, you're not the same\". His sailing ship was sunk, like Titanic did. So, if he wants to navigate abroad until Haiti, he will need to buy a Yellow Submarine. When he was to kill Conrad, Emilly came and she said and she said: \"Jack, do you want to know a secret? Everybody's got something to hide, except me. I know you know that I'm Amanda Clarke\".\nJohn Lennon is worried, because the world is round, because the sky is blue and because Emilly says she wants a revolution, but, when she talks about destruction, she doesn't know she can count him out. But she doesn't care, because she's not a girl who misses much. She's well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand like a lizard on a window pane. So, for her, happiness is a warm gun. So, when she was shot, she told everybody: \"I never give you my pillow. I only send you my invitations. And in the middle of the celebrations, I break down\".\nAnd as you could see, if Emily Thorne had lived in the 1960's, she could have been a muse for Beatles songs, like Anna, Michelle, Martha and Julia were, for example. All in all, Beatles are in the most of our lives's soundtracks, although our ones aren't so sweet like strawberry fields are forever. That's why, Hamptons are in my ears and in my eyes, like Penny Lane. And, in the end of this story, we'll realize the love you take is equal to the love you make. However, a day in the life is not enough to tell this story completely. So, come together, right now, over us.\nMarcadores: 1960's, Beatles, girl, guitar, gun, Hamptons, happiness, love, majesty, muse, Penny Lane, revolution, secret, soundtracks, story, strawberry, submarine",

Located in the Arab quarter, adjacent to the Sultan Mosque, Arab Street is lined with shops and boutiques that sell all kinds of fabrics from all over the World. Just like the other ethnic quarters, the buildings are brightly colored and embellished. We then traveled across town, passed the Raffles Hotel and the War Memorial, to the Marina Bay Sands. We walked through the hotel and walked out the other side to the Gardens by the Bay, a 101 hectare nature park built on reclaimed land next to the Marina reservoir. The garden features the Super trees, which are vertical gardens the are 82 feet to 160 feet tall and serve a variety of functions such as photoelectric cells to produce lighting, rain water collection and even house a restaurant. The gardens also have two conservatories, the Cloud Forest and the Flower Dome. The Flower Dome is a 3.1 acre cooled environment with 7 gardens and central changing display field to host seasonal displays and flower shows. While we were there a flowering tree display was being exhibited.\nGardens by the Bay \u2018Super Trees\u2019",

        "title": "We are Energy.",
        "raw_content": "Posted by Jo Leath on Wednesday, August 12, 2015 Under: Energy Fields\nAn engineer and futurist, the great inventor-innovator Nikola Tesla wrote: \u201cIf you want to know the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.\u201d Although he was working a hundred years ago, he is often quoted today, and his work is celebrated.\nIt is not easy to define energy. These days the revelations of Quantum physics are shedding some light on what it means. In order to access this understanding, though, we find that the science we have always accepted must be challenged, and maybe even replaced. This is uncomfortable for many, and threatening to some.\nDanish Physicist, and Nobel Laureate, Niels Bohr was one of many scientists who concluded that what we perceive as the physical world is not, in fact, made up of matter or material. Belief in the kind of physical universe described by Sir Isaac Newton was supplanted more than a century ago. It has been replaced by the realization that everything in the Universe is made out of energy.\nQuantum physicists have discovered that the structure of physical atoms is one of vortices of energy. Like the Chakras, which are the energy centres of the human body, atoms are constantly vibrating, spinning and radiating a unique energy signature.\nCloser examination of the structure of an atom shows nothing: observers discover a physical void. The atom does not have a physical structure: it is made out of invisible energy, not matter. Our bodies are made up of atoms, and it follows that we have no physical structure, either. So-called physical things, including ourselves, don\u2019t have any tangible structure. We do not have energy fields. We are energy fields.\nMy Peak Experience\nIn August of 2013 a Quantum download was granted to me. It is much on my mind as I approach the anniversary. My limited human energy field was forever changed by the vastness and power of the download which slammed into me. Benign Cosmic energy engulfed my being and gave me an immeasurable gift.\nBefore and since then, I have worked with energy and vibration as a Reiki Master-practitioner. Reiki is Cosmic energy, and I am fortunate to be able to transmit it through my aura and into the fields of others. As a Numerologist, I can pinpoint the energetic frequencies which most need attention, and balance them appropriately.\nPassing it along\nTwo years of familiarity with the incoming flow have not entirely acclimatised me to it. The download is not finite: it is ongoing. The love that flows to me, and through me, remains: a profound quantity. I divert most of it, and direct it to the Unseen planes where I can pour love into the fields of those who can benefit.\nBringing this Cosmic force into the aura can reduce or eliminate negative vibrations in the same way that lighting a candle in a dark room can dispel the darkness. Clients, in person and at distance, can experience the advantages of the energy for which I am privileged to be the conduit.\nFor a consultation or a Reiki session, in person or by Skype click here\nNext post: Sacred is in the...\nPrevious post: Noticing is a Choice\nTags: reiki download tesla",

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb interviews \u00bb Q&A with WhenInManila.com Editor Vince Golangco on Blogapalooza\nQ&A with WhenInManila.com Editor Vince Golangco on Blogapalooza\nQ1: You spent a few years with the US Navy when you were in your early 20s. What made you enter the navy and what habits did you get there that you continue to practice today?\nPretty much, my life wasn\u2019t anything worth talking about after dropping out of high school. I really didn\u2019t value education yet back then so I guess I was really still searching for myself. My first ever job was at Burger King in Los Angeles, and I kept in touch with my friends from there. I was already working at the mall then, at Mervyn\u2019s, which is like a department store part of the mall, like SM or Robinson\u2019s department store. I was doing great and as one of the youngest ones there, at just 17, they already wanted to promote me to manager.\nIt was around that time when my friends from Burger King told me they decided to join the Navy and were asking me to come with. At first I cussed them out and told them they were going to die! Funny thing was after I got promoted to manager at the mall, I looked at my life and realized I did not want to be a manager at a mall!\nSo I went ahead with them to just talk to a Navy recruiter with no commitments. Thing is, those Navy recruiters know how to sell things to you! I was a 17 year old with no life experience who dropped out of high school and my recruiter was saying things like \u201cLook at this laptop\u2026. The Navy gave me this! Look at that car outside, it\u2019s because of the Navy that I have that! And everywhere we go, GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS! The ladies love sailors!\u201d\nI couldn\u2019t sign that contract fast enough. So that\u2019s how I got in. If I had to do it all over again, I\u2019d definitely still choose the same path because I learned so much in the military. I really got a sense of myself and a better understanding of adulthood and responsibility. I\u2019d like to think I really grew up and became a man while I was serving in the United States military.\nQ2: You returned to the Philippines in 2010 after your navy stint. How was the adjustment like? What got you started in blogging and what made you decide to make this into a community of over 300 writers/bloggers?\nActually after four years in the military, I went back to college. That\u2019s when I went to San Diego State University and majored in Communication with emphasis in Advertising and a minor in Business. It was really after graduating and working a few cubicle jobs that I decided to travel the world again. I guess you can say I was having some sort of quarter life crisis. So I packed my bags and maxed out my credit cards. I traveled to Australia, Thailand, Hong Kong, and a bunch of other places. The Philippines was my last stop as I\u2019m part Filipino and I have family here. I decided to stay here for six months just for fun.\nFor WhenInMannila.com, it really happened one small step at a time. It started with me wanting to share my stories, and share how cool Manila and the Philippines really is. Slowly, our readership and fan base grew. I still remember the first day I published a blog on the site and how happy I was to see that seven people read it! Today, we get over 2 million views per month on the site alone, not yet including our other outlets like social media. From there, people wanting to share their own stories and students looking to build their writing portfolio or resumes started contacting me to try and write for our site as well because they saw the benefits to it. Looking back though, I feel like I was just at the right place at the right time when I started the site.\nQ3: What do you envision WhenInManila.com to be?\nWhenInManila.com gets up to and over two million (2,000,000+) views per month, we also have a very active community of over 700,000+ fans on Facebook.com/WhenInManila (that reaches over 40 million people per week) and 100,000+ followers on Twitter.com/WhenInManila along with 30,000+ followers on Instagram.com/WhenInManila (as of July 2014) We were recently ranked within the 200 most viewed sites in the Philippines by Alexa as well as ranked among the top blogs in the \u201c100 Pinoy Blogs that Matter\u201d list. You can see a screenshot of our millions of unique views here.\nWhenInManila.com was awarded as the #1 Emerging Influential Blog for 2010 and named one of the Rotary\u2019s 10 Tourism Awardees for 2012, an honor shared with the likes of Zobel Ayala, Andrew Tan (chairman of Mega World & owner of Resorts World), Miguel Belmote (CEO of the Philippine Star) and more, for the 2012 batch. Additionally, we were awarded the title of \u201cUltimate Food Blogger\u201d by Unilever / Sooo Pinoy organization. Furthermore, we were just named the Best Photo Blog and Microblog in the Philippines at the Globe Tatt Awards.\nI see it as being the go to website for anything and everything in Manila and the Philippines. A friend of mine once joked that: \u201cif it\u2019s not on WhenInManila.com, it probably didn\u2019t happen!\u201d\nI\u2019d love for us to grow big enough one day, to where anything of significance would be posted on our site and where people from all over the world can come check us out and see all the cool things happening in Manila and the Philippines. Perhaps we can be a hub to help grow our tourism.\nQ4; You had a three year stint as radio DJ, how did it help you increase your blog followers?\nI\u2019m not really sure. It was such a fun job and I\u2019d like to think it helped out as well. But unfortunately I don\u2019t really have the stats to show how much radio helped out.\nOn the flip side, that\u2019s why many advertisers are also going online, because you can track the ads and the ROI from online marketing as compared to traditional media. Our site really took off after I left radio and focused on it full time. It just seems that online media is really the growing medium. At any point I\u2019m pretty sure that there are more people online than there are people listening to the radio.\nQ5: Your blog now enjoy over 2 million hits monthly, please share with us what you had to go through to attain that level?\nLots of time and hard work. From learning how to write, to learning Search Engine Optimization (SEO), to finding great mentors, to finding awesome partners, to meeting the right people. It would really take me too much time to thank each and every person who helped me down this path. One thing though that I know helped a lot is having the right attitude and mindset. The saying I live by is \u201cThe man that says he can and the man that says he can\u2019t are both right. So which one are you?\u201d I live everyday saying I can and I find ways to accomplish things other people can\u2019t or won\u2019t.\nQ6: Your branding is about Manila, are there plans to extend this to When in Cebu, When in San Diego, etc? Can you share these plans?\nWe\u2019d love to find ways to take WhenInManila.com internationally; perhaps different outlets or branches to the site that function internationally. Also, we\u2019re putting together a lot of events like Blogapalooza, which is the biggest \u201cB2B\u201d : Business to Blogger networking event in the country, where we expect over 500-1000 bloggers there to meet and mingle with 50-100 companies. It\u2019s happening at SM Aura on Sept 20. We\u2019re also putting together a series of talks for young entrepreneurs and online marketers called the \u201cDigital Futures Academy.\u201d So just stay tuned for all that.\nQ7: From blogging, you created the Blogapalooza annual event. Please tell us what made you launch that and how has the event evolve thru the years?\nBlogapalooza (http://blogapalooza.wheninmanila.com) is the biggest B2B: Business to Blogger networking event where you can showcase your brand, products or services to online influencers, top bloggers, Facebook power users, Twitter superstars, Instagram icons as well as to our TV, radio, newspaper and magazines covering the event.\nWe saw the need in the marketplace for this kind of event as we literally got hundreds of queries and emails every month from businesses asking for help with online marketing. Businesses new and old, big and small, locally and internationally were asking for our help to reach out to other bloggers, to promote their brands online, to do social media management, to help with online marketing and more. From there, we came up with the idea of inviting our blogger friends and our friends from the corporate world to come mingle and meet each other at this one of a kind event.\nQ8: How does Blogapalooza create value to the public, your sponsors, your blog community members and yourself? When is this held every year?\nWe usually hold Blogapalooza towards the later months of the year but it seems like there\u2019s a bigger need as we always run out of tickets and booth space. So we might hold it more often. It adds value to the businesses as they are able to learn more about online marketing and the digital market space.\nCorporations are also able to meet lots of online influencers and bloggers who can definitely be online brand ambassadors for them to help them promote their services or products to the millions of people online. Blogapalooza also adds value to the bloggers as they are able to meet lots of professionals looking to meet with them and do business with them.\nI\u2019d really like to think that Blogapalooza helps the community of bloggers and businesses. It will be happening on Sept 20, 2014 at SM Aura. If you need more information, you can check out our site at http://Blogapalooza.WhenInManila.com or email me Vince@WhenInManila.com\nPeople can also connect with me via Twitter and Instagram @VinceGolangco or @WhenInManila\nPrevious post link Q&A with Four Seasons Hotel (Jacksonhole, USA) General Manager David Bernand on Service Excellence & Execution\nNext post linkQ&A with 7-Eleven President Victor Paterno on Supply Chain Excellence",

One way was to encourage an increase in the birth rate, which had been falling. A second way was to encourage immigration, not only from Great Britain, but also from other European countries. The main requirement was that immigrants be white skinned. Although this policy became known as the White Australia Policy, the regulations did not actually prohibit people with coloured skin. The prohibition was achieved through regulations requiring each immigrant to pass a dictation test to be given in any European language. If the immigration officials did not want to allow a person to enter the country, they could choose a language that would make it impossible to pass the test.\nAlthough this policy was extremely biased and racist, racial purity was an exceptionally strong feeling in Australia up to the early 1960's. Immigration continued up to the Great War, with substantial English and Irish immigrants settling into Australia. Immigration stopped during the Great War, but resumed afterwards. Totally new schemes were implemented to attract immigrants. The war had taught Australia that it needed to be less dependent on Britain, and that it needed to speed up its economic development. To do this more people were needed. In the 1920s the Empire Settlement Act was introduced, in order to encourage British people to emigrate to Australia and boost the dwindling population.\nImmigration has been the major contributor to Australia's population growth since the end of World War 2. At the same time as Australia wanted to increase its population, there were large numbers of people in Europe who wanted to start a new life in a new country. These included the people whose home, jobs or businesses had been destroyed by the war. Along with that, 170 000 migrants were brought to Australia between 1947-1951 by the International Refugee Organisation. One of the immediate effects of post-war immigration was to increase the size of the workforce by approximately 200 000.\nThe importance of migrant labour was immense, as they made up large numbers in the iron and steel construction industries where goods were in high demand following the war. Other occupations where migrants formed a large part of the workforce were timber getting, sawmilling, railway and road construction. Migrant labour made it possible for projects like the Snowy Mountains scheme, which required the construction of a number of dams, tunnels and power stations. Migrants not only provided the numbers of workers needed, they also provided the skills and expertise required for such a project to be carried out in Australia.\nAlthough most Australians preferred British immigrants, the immigration period after the war brought large numbers from other European countries - people with different cultures, languages and beliefs. One kind of person though was still not accepted, anyone with coloured skin. In spite of this by 1960 some Australians were beginning to question the White Australia Policy, and were arguing for change.\nBy 1966 most of the regulations restricting immigration of non-white people to Australia had been removed and multiculturalism was adopted. Discrimination on the grounds of race was abolished. Even though the White Australia Policy was abolished, racism was still very strong and many migrants were harassed, especially the people of Asian backgrounds. Racism was widely accepted up till the mid 1980s. Assimilation was generally perceived as the natural process for migrants. Thus it was expected that migrants would adopt the culture of Australian society and abandon their own culture. When this was not achieved, the Australian people shunned the migrants for their difference of culture, religion and beliefs. Later in the mid 1980s, the people started to accept the migrants, turning towards multiculturalism instead of integration.\nMigrants have made Australia today a blend of cultures. Four of every ten residents of Australia were born overseas or have at least one overseas born parent. More than half of the twenty-one per cent of our population who were born overseas are from non-English speaking countries. While English is the language of everyday use, more than 300 languages are spoken in Australia today.",

The trailer also gives us a hint of the political intrigue of the era, where Kenway and crew are fighting off threats at every turn. It'll be interesting to see just how Kenway became an Assassin, as his son Haytham was a Tempar in Assassin's Creed 3.\nThe world looks sharp and vibrant, and the sheer amount of naval battles has us itching to finally give this sequel a go. After delaying Watch Dogs until 2014, Ubisoft is going to be relying on Assassin's Creed 4 even more this holiday. You can look for Black Flag on the Wii U, PlayStation 3, PC and Xbox 360 on Oct. 29. The next-gen versions will launch with the respective consoles.\nNext: 10 Eras Assassin's Creed 5 Should Explore\nSource: Assassin\u2019s Creed 4: Black Flag Trailer: Kenway Comes Home\nFiled Under: PlayStation, wii-u, xbox, xbox 360",

Country music has plenty of sad songs on the subject, so just as he did in his most recent No. 1 single \"When It Rains It Pours,\" the singer performed \"Beer Never Broke My Heart\" to bring some humor to the topic.\nIn the video shared to Combs' Facebook page we see the singer sitting in front of a microphone with his guitar, telling his audience that he is about to treat them to something new. Combs then jumps into \"Beer Never Broke My Heart,\" which lists all of the things that have left him feeling broken, such as ex-girlfriends and even sports teams. As the song continues, the list grows, but one thing that has never done him dirty is a nice cold beer.\nCombs sings, \"I've had a large mouthed bass bust my line / A couple beautiful girls tell me goodbye / Trucks break down, dogs run off, politicians lie, gettin' fired by the boss / It takes one hand to count the things I can count on / There ain't much that ain't never let me down.\" He continues into a chorus that is met with rapturous applause: \"A longneck iced cold beer never broke my heart.\" The audience may be listening to the song for the first time, but they already know it well enough to chime in on the chorus, and it feels like an instant classic.\nThis spring Combs will be on the road for the spring leg of his Don't Tempt Me With a Good Time Tour. More information about the tour can be found on his official website. Comb's freshman album This One's for You is available for purchase on Amazon and iTunes.\nNEXT: Learn the Story Behind Luke Combs' 'When It Rains It Pours'\nSource: Hear Luke Combs\u2019 New Song \u2018Beer Never Broke My Heart\u2019 [WATCH]",

        "raw_content": "When I started reading Laurie R King's Mary Russell / Sherlock Holmes series a couple of years ago, after a very long break from her work, I didn't know about this novel. First published in 2007, it's been a standalone work until recently, when a second novel featuring the same main protagonists, \u201cThe Bones of Paris\u201d, was published. I like King's writing. Her prose is excellent, she does a good job creating interesting (if not always believable) characters, her evocation of time and place is powerful and she weaves historical events and personalities into her stories in an interesting and unforced manner.\n\u201cTouchstone\u201d is something of a departure from King's Mary Russell / Sherlock Holmes series and her earlier Kate Martinelli series. Rather than crime fiction, it's in the thriller genre. The novel is set in England in 1926, in the lead up to a national strike in support of coal miners. Harris Stuyvesant, an agent with the Bureau of Investigation (precursor to the FBI) is in London following a lead in his investigation into a series of politically motivated bombings in the US. He crosses paths with the sinister eminence grise Aldous Carstairs and shell shocked veteran Bennett Grey, a man whose war injuries have given him a particular sensitivity to deception. (Grey is one of those interesting but not very believable characters King is particularly good at creating).\nThe narrative is in the third person omniscient style, giving an old-fashioned feel to the work which I quite like, although the rapidity with which the perspective switches from one character to another was sometimes a little annoying. Another feature of the work is its sedate pace. I don't read many thrillers and I don't need my fiction to be action packed, but even taking my patience with a slow narrative into account, there were times when this one went too slowly for me. There are too many cigarettes smoked, too many cups of coffee drunk and too many drinking sessions and hangovers described in minute detail. This does not make for a particularly thrilling thriller.\nI worked out - well, correctly guessed - the identity of the perpetrator early on. However, I doubted myself because my guess didn't seem particularly credible. And indeed, the climax of the action was anything but credible. However, that happens in crime fiction - and in thrillers too, I suppose - so there's no point in reading such novels at all if you can't cross the suspension bridge of disbelief and enjoy the view from the other side. Notwithstanding my reservations, I enjoyed the view enough to give this 3 to 3.5 stars. I also liked it enough to move straight on to its newly published sequel. What can I say, it was there, ready to go. And it's set in 1920s Paris, one of my favourite literary locations.\nI listened to the audiobook version which is competently narrated by American actor Jefferson Mays. He's not bad at the English voices - although he mostly sounds like an American putting on an English accent and a Welsh accent proved beyond his ability - and he doesn't come over all falsetto with the female characters. All in all, Mays made listening pleasant.",

        "title": "It\u2019s the jobs, stupid!-INSIDE Korea JoongAng Daily",
        "raw_content": "It\u2019s the jobs, stupid!\nJoblessness among Korea\u2019s younger generation is becoming alarming. According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the jobless figure for people between the ages of 15 and 24 shot up to 10.7 percent last year \u2014 the highest since 2000 and higher than the 10.4 percent rate in the U.S. After two \u201clost\u201d decades, the unemployment rate for youth in Japan dropped to 5.2 percent after a decade of hovering above 10 percent.\nNevertheless, Korea cannot be compared to America or Japan, both of which cannot but struggle to raise employment rates due to the fact that their economies are mature. Given our national income per capita \u2014 yet to surpass the $30,000 level \u2014 we still need plenty of jobs for young people. The fact that our jobless figure is even higher than in advanced nations poses a serious problem.\nA bigger dilemma is the sheer increase of the population aged between 20 and 24 to 700,000 last year, a whopping 100,000 more than in the first half of the 2010s. The sharp increase originates with their baby boomer parents born between 1955 and 1963 after the Korean War.\nIf left unattended, their unemployment will worsen to the point that they avoid getting married and having children, which will create a vicious cycle.\nPresidential contenders must come up with effective ways to battle this crisis. Moon Jae-in, former leader of the opposition Democratic Party and frontrunner in the polls, promised to create a total of 810,000 jobs \u2014 including 310,000 in the areas of fire-fighting, police, welfare and health, and the remaining 500,000 from cutting civil servants\u2019 working hours. Ahn Cheol-soo, former head of the People\u2019s Party, proposed the government subsidize small and mid-size companies so their pay will rise to 80 percent of the salaries paid by large companies. Lee Jae-myung, Seongnam mayor, went so far as to offer at least 1 million won ($869) to each youth per year.\nBut those promises are shortsighted. Creating jobs through tax revenues is simply not sustainable. Presidential hopefuls must present true visions for creating quality jobs. If lawmakers would simply pass a bill deregulating our services industry, that alone can create tens of thousands of jobs. Germany is able to lead the European economy thanks to its bipartisan labor reform, and America and Japan could lower their joblessness among youth through drastic deregulation.\nOur presidential wannabes must pay heed to a young generation stuck in a chronic lack of jobs. At the same time, they must reform our outmoded labor market after passing the labor reform bill stuck in gridlock and ensure their job security.",

        "raw_content": "Miguel's diagnosis of corneal disease was a long time coming.\nMiguel, who was born and raised in Mexico, started suffering from poor vision at an early age. As his eyesight worsened he was prescribed increasingly thicker glasses in order to see. When a doctor finally diagnosed Miguel with keratoconus, he also told him that eventually the disease would cost him his sight. Miguel began preparing himself for a future of blindness. Already, his vision was blurred. It was only a matter of time before it faded altogether.\nFate intervened when Miguel's father immigrated to the United States to find work. At the age of 14, Miguel joined him so he could assist his father as an interpreter. He enrolled in high school but could barely see the blackboard, even from the front row. When the opportunity for a free eye exam came his way, Miguel jumped at it. It was during that exam that he learned he didn't need glasses. He needed a cornea transplant.\nThe idea that blindness was not inevitable gave Miguel hope for the first time. He stopped skipping classes at school. The Northwest Lions Foundation paid for the cost of a transplant for his badly damaged left eye and by late spring of his junior year, Miguel stood confidently before his classmates and shared his experience. After additional surgery on his right eye a year later, Miguel could see clearly again. Miguel graduated from high school and not only got a job, but returned to school later to study music.\nMiguel didn't initially think much about his cornea donor, but when he learned it came from a University of Washington undergraduate who was quite close to him in age, the donation suddenly became very meaningful to him. \"That's when I decided I wanted to write his family and thank them,\" he says. \"I carry his story with me everywhere.\"\nOne of the best parts of Miguel's day, he says, is when he wakes up in the morning. It is at that moment, when he first opens his eyes, that he remembers he can see again.",

        "raw_content": "The Lager Legacy \u2013 Lager's Car Wash & Quick Lube\nThe History Behind Lager\u2019s Inc. and the Lager Family\nOn a cold, February morning in 1965, two brothers, Gerald J. Lager and William F. Lager, opened Lager\u2019s Chrysler Plymouth, International Truck. The dealership was located on the corner of Highway 169 and Highway 99 East in Saint Peter, MN, which is currently the home of Jake\u2019s Stadium Pizza, the St. Peter Woolen Mill, and The Pulse Fitness.\nLager\u2019s Inc. survived the 1965 flood that crested at 29.07 feet above the Minnesota River, causing roughly 8,000 people to evacuate their homes. With the rising waters, Bill and Gerry considered moving their entire inventory to higher ground as a precaution to the flooding.\nIn 1969, the brothers moved Lager\u2019s Inc. to their new and current location on Old North Minnesota Avenue in Saint Peter, MN.\nOver the years, Bill and Gerry Lager grew their business together and added additional operations such as a separate alignment shop, a separate heavy-duty truck and service operation, a car wash facility, and a gas station. In 1974, the Lager Brothers started their own leasing company, rightfully named Lager\u2019s Leasing Co.\nAn opportunity for expansion arose when Dalton Motors in Mankato closed its doors for good in September of 1977. The brothers saw the opportunity and took their business to another level by opening Lager\u2019s of Mankato as a Chrysler Plymouth Dealership in Mankato, MN. Bill Lager continued to operate Lager\u2019s Inc. from the St. Peter front, while Gerry Lager took on the role of managing the new business in Mankato.\nThe Lager Brothers expanded once again to include the Dodge and Truck Franchises in both the St. Peter and Mankato operations. With the purchase of the Dodge & Truck Franchises from Beutz Motors in Mankato, it made both the St. Peter and Mankato stores complete as certified Chrysler, Plymouth, and Dodge dealers of the Chrysler Corporation in July of 1980.\nLager\u2019s Inc. obtained the Buick and GMC Truck franchise lines of the General Motors Corporation from Randolph Buick GMC in St. Peter in 1982. As the businesses grew, Lager\u2019s Inc. also acquired the Pontiac franchise from Rheaume Pontiac in Le Sueur when they closed down in 1991.\nBusiness was booming, and in 1985 Lager\u2019s of Mankato expanded its building over 5,000 sq. ft. to accommodate for three additional service bays, a fully automatic car wash and car polisher, a reconditioning center, separate Used Car Sales and Rental offices, a drive through service write-up area, and expanded sales display lot. These additions now host Lager\u2019s of Mankato\u2019s Service Department, Parts Department, and Lager\u2019s Used Car Factory.\nOn March 26th of 1987, the Lager Brothers added the AMC, Jeep, Renault franchise from American Motor Sales Corporation to their Mankato location. On March 31st Bill and Gerry also expanded Lager\u2019s Leasing Co. by starting and operating an U-Save Auto Rental of America franchise in both Mankato and St. Peter. With Chrysler Corporations buyout of American Motor Sales Corporation on August 5th of 1987, Chrysler established the Jeep/Eagle division of the Chrysler Corporation.\nOn March 29th 1989, an F3 tornado swept through the Minnesota River Valley, wreaking havoc on the City of St. Peter, the Gustavus Adolphus College campus, and surrounding areas. In total, seven counties in southern Minnesota were declared federal disaster area, with an estimate of $6.5 million in damages to rural areas. Lager\u2019s Inc. survived the tornado in St. Peter, and prospered by building a new car wash and quick lube facility across the street from Lager\u2019s of Mankato. Lager\u2019s Car Wash & Quick Lube opened in August of 1998 on Bassett Drive, where is currently stands today. The expansion included an employee parking area, display area, rental office, and service stalls.\n1989 was a tough year for the Lager Family with the passing of William F. (Bill) Lager. Bill served as a Dealer Principal and partner to his brother Gerry Lager for 25 years. During that year, Gerald Lager extended his partnership on to his son Franklin A. \u201cKip\u201d Lager, and the father-son duo attained management and ownership of Lager\u2019s Inc. in St. Peter.\nIn 1992, the Pontiac franchise was added to the St. Peter dealership to make Lager\u2019s of St. Peter a Pontiac, Buick, and GMC dealer. During that year Gerry and his wife Gloria retired from the business leaving it in the hands of their son Kip Lager.\nIn 1998, Chrysler merged with German-based Daimler-Benz AG forming the DamilerChrysler Corp generally known as DCX. The Eagle brand was retired shortly after Chrysler\u2019s merger, and the Jeep brand became a stand-alone division in 1998. On July 6th, 1998 Lager\u2019s of St. Peter added the Jeep franchise to its existing structure.\nBy the year 2001, the Plymouth brand was discontinued.\nSeptember of 2007 marked the 30th Anniversary for Lager\u2019s Chrysler World in Mankato. Over the past thirty years, Lager\u2019s has achieved several manufacturer-sponsored awards including the Award for Excellence, which is Chrysler\u2019s highest level of honor, and Lager\u2019s was recognized as a Five Star Dealership.\nIn 2008, Lager\u2019s of Mankato was ranked #13 on the Denver BC Dealer Ranking for placing in the top 10% of dealers. As of 2008, Lager\u2019s of Mankato attained a five star rating 7 of the last 8 years.\nFebruary 18th, 2015 marks the 50th Anniversary of the establishment of the Lager\u2019s of St. Peter dealership.\nKip Lager is the current President of Lager\u2019s Inc. including Lager\u2019s of St. Peter, Lager\u2019s of Mankato, and Lager\u2019s Car Wash and Quick Lube. Due to the dedication and efforts of Bill and Gerry Lager, and all the past and present employees of both Lager dealerships, the Lager name has maintained a quality reputation in St. Peter, Mankato, and the surrounding communities for nearly fifty years.",

        "raw_content": "MERCEDES FINALLY LAUNCHES ITS NEW MODEL: THE MERCEDES X\n22 June 2017 | South Africa\nMercedes Benz has finally debuted the pickup truck it plans to bring to the market, a vehicle meant for luxury-meets-workhorse needs, which aims to appeal to a diverse group of consumers from construction contractors to weekend warriors.\nThe company is owned by Daimler, who revealed the truck at a splashy event in Cape Town, South Africa on Tuesday. The only demographic missing in its initial launch is Americans. The Mercedes X-Class, which was introduced as a concept last year, will be available in Germany by November 2017 and other European countries this year, followed by Australia and South Africa in the beginning of 2018. By early 2019, the truck will head to Argentina and Brazil.\nMercedes X-Class comes in three trim levels, or model variants, designed to suit different lifestyles. The X-Class Pure is more rugged, while X-Class Progressive has some extra styling and comfort functions. The X-Class Power combines the best performance and luxury appearance like a chrome bumper and premium interior materials.\nThe X-Class will be able to haul up to 1.1 metric tons in the bed of the truck (2,425 pounds), enough to transport 17 full 50-liter barrels of beer, according to the German automaker. The pickup of this car can tow up to 3.5 metric tons (7,716 pounds) or as the company suggests, a 26-foot yacht.\nConsumers can choose from four different engine options, including a diesel, as well as rear-wheel and four-wheel drive. A high-torque V6 diesel engine will be released mid-2018, the company said.\nAs one might expect in a luxury-leaning pickup truck, the X-Class will have driver assistance safety systems such as lane-keep assist, traffic sign recognition and automatic emergency braking. The Pickup Truck is, after all a Mercedes product so owners will be able to tap into the company\u2019s Internet connected car services called Mercedes Me. The feature allows drivers access to these particular trucks via smartphone and call up information like fuel level, tire pressure, or where the vehicle is located while parked or when being driven by someone else.",

        "raw_content": "Open Source 'State of the Union'\nBruce Perens speaks at LinuxWorld Conference & Expo\nBy Bruce Perens\nBruce Perens is an established leader in the free software and open source community. As the former leader of the Debian project and the original author of the Open Source Definition he has been deeply involved in the open source community for most of its existence. Bruce was the original trademark holder for the term \"Open Source.\"\nAlong with Eric Raymond, Bruce cofounded the Open Source Initiative, which has become one of the top organizations promoting open source software around the world.\nCurrently Bruce is a consultant specializing in assisting corporations, governments, and standards organizations with open source policy and programs.\nBruce is also the series editor of The Bruce Perens' Open Source Series line of books from Prentice Hall PTR publishers. Books in this series are all published under an \"open source\" copyright \u2013 meaning that they can be copied, reproduced, and modified freely.\nBruce is a member of LinuxWorld Magazine's International Advisory Board. He can be reached through his Web site at www.perens.com.\nFollowing is the text of Bruce's Open Source \"State of the Union\" talk, delivered at the LinuxWorld Conference & Expo in San Francisco on August 6, 2003.\nGood Morning, and thanks for coming.\nI'd like to go over near future challenges for free and open source software, Linux, and the GNU system. Before that, please allow me a few minutes to talk about my sponsor, a very interesting open source product in itself, my book series with Prentice Hall PTR publishing.\nThe Bruce Perens' Open Source Series of books now has four titles in print, and three more are on the way. The text of these books is under an open source license, and the books are released online in \"source\" form a few months after the release of the printed version. Yet, these books make as much money for the publisher as non\u2013open source books. At this show, we're introducing two titles: Intrusion Detection with SNORT, Apache, MySQL, PHP, and ACID, by Rafeeq Rehman, and Managing Linux Systems with Webmin, by Jamie Cameron. We're also announcing the availability of online \"source code,\" actually the word processor files and illustrations, for our first two books, The Linux Development Platform, also by Rehman, and Embedded Software Development with eCos, by Anthony Massa. Unlocked PDF versions of these books are also available. All of the files are at phptr.com/perens.\nWith the source now released under terms that allow duplication and sale, these books need never die. Even if the publisher and authors were to lose interest, any open source maintainer could keep the books in print. This is especially important for the eCos book, which is the only title in its field.\nOur three upcoming books are:\nImplementing CIFS: The Common Internet File System: By Chris Hertel. CIFS is the protocol of Samba, the file and printer sharing program that is compatible with Microsoft, Unix, and Linux systems.\nThe Official Samba 3 How-To and Reference Guide: By John Terpstra and others. This is the manual for the next generation of the Samba software.\nRapid Application Development with Mozilla and XML: By Nigel McFarlane, one of the Mozilla core team. The book tells you how to use Mozilla's GUI toolkit to create complex browser-based applications.\nOn to the Rest of the Speech\nThis is a Linux show, focusing upon a product. But the real subject of this trade show, free software and open source, is a social movement. Like other social movements, it advances its own ideas \u2013 in our case, ideas about software quality, competition, copyrights, and patents as property. It's extremely unusual in that few other social movements make real products \u2013 the only thing that comes close to it in the social space is art. We have so far manufactured over $2 billion U.S. worth of software for everyone's free use. And the fact that we make real products has made us real enemies.\nThe most visible enemy today is SCO. But behind SCO stand more serious enemies like Microsoft, which has provided significant funds for SCO to pursue its war on free software.\nThis is a new phase in the SCO case, as the open source producers start to mount their own offensive. But I want to point out that the two current SCO cases, while they are expected to come out in our favor, will be disappointing for other reasons. The free software developers would like to see SCO's evidence, and expect it to be brought out for public view in these cases. That will not happen. Before SCO presents its evidence in either case, it will ask the judge for a protective order sealing that evidence from outside view. SCO will claim that they cannot properly present their own case without such an order, and the judge will be disposed to grant it. If SCO could claim that it lost its case due to the constraint of not being able to present trade secrets and other proprietary information, that would be ammunition for SCO to overturn any unfavorable verdict on appeal. Judges generally don't like to create viable appeals for their own cases, and thus the protective order will be granted. So don't expect to see any evidence during either case.\nBut we'll see the verdict, won't we? No. SCO has no reason to allow either of these cases to go to a verdict. Once it is clear that a verdict will be unfavorable, SCO will settle the case. Both IBM and Red Hat have the ability to decline a settlement and go for a definitive verdict \u2013 but will they? Both companies have a fiduciary responsibility to their stockholders, and of course litigation is expensive and uncertain in its outcome. And of course a settlement comes with its own confidentiality agreements. So, we on the outside may never see the terms upon which the two parties to the case settle their dispute.\nObviously, I encourage both IBM and Red Hat to go for a verdict. That would be useful to the open source developers, who have as a class been libeled and damaged. We can mount our own class action as a follow-on to a verdict in the IBM and Red Hat cases much more easily than if we have to win the first case.\nWhat would the free software developers ask for in damages? The only salable asset of SCO, the Unix copyrights. This is something that Red Hat or others who sue SCO could ask for, as well. Now, we already own a superior product to any SCO Unix that has ever been shown, so we don't consider this an extremely valuable asset. But it would be a suitable close to the SCO story for the Unix copyrights to be transferred to the Free Software Foundation.\nSCO has recently announced a socalled \"license\" for Linux. The absurdity of this should be obvious, but let's touch upon a legal aspect. Every party who enters into this license will be in violation of the GPL, and in infringement of the collective copyrights of the Linux and GNU system authors. As a customer, if you purchase the SCO license, you can be sued by every copyright holder who has contributed to the Linux kernel and other components of the system. You can be sued by IBM, by Red Hat, by me, by tens of thousands of people and companies. Of course, nobody's going to buy a license for software that SCO doesn't own anyway, so it's just hollow posturing.\nBut the most dangerous part of SCO is not the case itself, it's the fact that it distracts us from more dangerous threats. So my purpose here today is to urge everyone to start looking forward, and let those directly involved in the SCO cases resolve them while we pursue more important enemies.\nSCO is nothing beside the threat that the open source developers face from software patents, a fight that we are losing badly. Next month, the European Community Parliament is expected to vote for unified European software patenting. In its call for public comments leading up to this vote, the vast majority of replies opposed software patents. The survey takers rejected these comments because they were associated with the open source community. They justified that because open source was, in their words, \"not economically significant.\" I'd like all of you from the press who have been attending this trade show to send a message to the EC Parliament that open source is very obviously economically significant.\nThe survey takers accepted the remaining few percent of comments, which called for software patenting, as valid, and declared the survey a mandate for software patenting in Europe. This is the situation we are facing there \u2013 all anti\u2013software patent arguments are simply rejected out of hand.\nIn addition, we've had a false-flag operation telling European Parliament members that software patenting is acceptable for open source. That organization has proposed no protection for open source other than a passive monitoring of the damage to us and publication of reports about that damage. Individual open source developers are simply not equipped to defend themselves against even the most simple software patent prosecution. The only option for them is to settle the case, regardless of its merits, by signing over their copyrights to the plaintiff, giving up significant funds and property as a monetary settlement, and ceasing open source development. Thus, the open source developer is vulnerable to even the most specious patent claims. Legal funds like that created recently by Red Hat would be exhausted quickly. The American Intellectual Property Law Association estimates that it costs $2 million U.S. to defend a single patent infringement case, twice the amount donated by Red Hat to its legal fund. So, we currently have half of the money necessary to win a single case, and we expect hundreds of them.\nBut we've not heard of software patent cases being pursued against free software, have we? This is because the patent holders have no wish to create bad news for themselves before they have laws passed in every nation where they need them. That's when the prosecutions can be expected to start. And these will be much more of a problem than SCO.\nTo give you an idea of the immediacy of this threat, we had reports prior to the SCO case that an embedded systems vendor had been solicited to assert its patents against Linux implementations. For obvious reasons, the embedded CEO isn't willing to come forward. He declined to pursue us, as unlike SCO they had a going business that would have been destroyed by the effort. But no doubt other patent holders have been found, and the form of the early cases will be similar to that of SCO, a small failing company with a big backer that is under competitive restraints and can't afford to pursue us directly.\nSoftware patenting is especially problematic for us when royalty-bearing patents are inserted into industry standards. Since the free software developers are not compensated for their work, we can't afford to pass on any royalty whatsoever. When the World Wide Web Consortium proposed to embed royalty-generating patents in Web standards, we were able to persuade them that this was a bad idea. That fight is much more difficult with organizations like IETF, which accepts many royalty-bearing patent declarations without making a judgement regarding their validity or impact upon implementers.\nAnd yet, a pro-software patent agenda is being pursued by some of the largest and best partners we have in the Linux industry. IBM stands out in this regard. Obviously, IBM has done a lot for our community, and the very fact that IBM endorses our systems and distributes them so well to our many customers has helped us gain the economic significance that gets us taken seriously by standards organizations and legislators. At the same time, we have frequently found IBM taking an adversary position, one harmful to the open source developers, in patent policy discussions at standards organizations, and at governments here and abroad. There's no question that IBM is one of the major parties supporting the effort to expand software patenting to Europe. So we're at the point, in the progress of open source, where we realize that we have very good friends who can still hurt us in significant ways if we don't push back against them. We must push back, or we will simply not survive the upcoming legal onslaught.\nThe fact is, none of our company partners other than Red Hat have even given us any assurance that we are safe from their own patents. IBM and HP, when confronted, have pointed out that they haven't sued any free software developers. We all know how frequently company managements change and we lose our friend in the front office. Thus, I'd sleep better if I could see something on paper that spells out just what sort of armistice we have with IBM, HP, and others.\nIf we can't get that, and of course we can't get it from every company, we will have to do something else. I am calling for all open source projects to incorporate mutual software patent defense terms into their licenses. Under these terms, if one open source developer is sued for patent infringement, all of the licenses of open source software used by the plaintiff terminate. If people are going to pursue us with software patents, the least we can do is make sure they don't profit from our software. Software patent mutual defense terms are in licenses being developed by Larry Rosen of the Open Source Initiative. These licenses are still evolving. There may be antitrust problems with them that we haven't yet worked through. It may be a problem getting the Free Software Foundation to accept such terms, simply because they are uncomfortable with adding restrictions. But I think they can be won over to the idea.\nAnother of the problems we face today is the rise of \"proprietary open source.\" The best example of that is Red Hat Advanced Server. Red Hat is another great friend of open source, one of the best we've had, who happens to have a policy problem we need to talk about. As open source becomes more popular in business, expect this \u2013 good friends with which we need to have a dialogue.\nLet's think about the advantages that bring people to open source. One of the big ones is the ability to go to multiple competing service vendors for a product, which increases the quality and lower costs of those service vendors. The license terms of the Red Hat Advanced Server customer agreement pretty much lock the customer into Red Hat service. Service bulletins are under a confidentiality agreement, and if you release Red Hat's service information to other vendors, they'll terminate your service. According to the advice of several attorneys that I've contacted, the agreement is within the letter of the GPL, but outside of its spirit. And companies seem to be diving into this because Advanced Server is Oracle certified. It seems silly for Oracle to be the arbiter of what distributions are acceptable to business \u2013 only a tiny fraction of these systems actually run Oracle, and Oracle is technically quite capable of supporting any Linux Standard Base\u2013compliant system.\nIn this situation, the companies seem to be jumping headlong into another Microsoft model. Of course, Red Hat wouldn't ever really become another Microsoft, and I don't really like to compare the two companies in the same sentence. But the point is that companies are discarding an important part of the open source model without realizing what benefits they are going to lose.\nAnother problem we face is that open source users are being denied access to popular culture. We can't legally play DVD discs using open source software today. I once went to do a DVD demonstration, showing how you could technically use Linux to play a DVD, but it wasn't legal, and I was convinced not to do so by my then employer, HP. They would have had to fire me immediately because they did not want to become a scapegoat for the movie and music companies (a reasonable concern on their part), and I might have gotten a $500,000 fine under DMCA. Just for playing the disc I paid for in my own computer. The problem is that modifiable software, any open source that plays their media, is considered a theft tool by the movie and music companies because someone could modify it to tap the unencrypted data stream, and could then upload the data to the Net. But I think we need to prosecute the people who commit that crime, not the software tool makers who only want to play legitimately purchased media using Mozilla, Linux, or other open source software. This is going to be much more of a problem with the rise of Palladium [a Digital Rights Management, or DRM, system proposed by Microsoft that critics charge will give them unparalleled control over end users' computers] because most Web pages will eventually be protected by DRM to prevent source viewing, printing, and saving. The Web sites want to charge you for printing, etc., so they will go for that. When you can't use Mozilla to view a Web site, open source becomes an uncommunicating island, and nobody will be able to use it.\nBruce Perens on SCO's \"Tapestry of Lies\"\nMore Stories By Bruce Perens\nBruce Perens, a leader in the free software and open source community, is a member of the International Advisory Board of Linux.SYS-CON.com.

        "raw_content": "My first step was going to a local business seminar in Bournemouth where I thought I\u2019d discuss my business idea and come away with a plan. I met my first client there, we\u2019ve worked together ever since and I\u2019ve never looked back.\nPerhaps I was lucky, but I like to think a little judgment helped too.\nIt was clear, the best way for me to get business was to just get out there, meet people and show them what I can do. As I\u2019d been out of my local circuit for six years, working out of town and commuting a daily 120 mile round trip for three of them and then having a career break to have two children \u2013 I had a lot of ground to cover to get back into my stride in my home town.\nSo I got active. I joined the freelance forum and met other PR people already doing what I wanted to do. I still meet with them every month and we all benefit from the opportunity to share, learn, offload and sometimes share leads which is of course a real benefit for a newbie like me.\nI also joined the CIPR Wessex committee, giving me a chance to get involved in events, meet more people and practice what I do \u2013 or should I say practice some of the things I can do but I\u2019m not currently hired to do. Everyone wants me to write copy in various guises for them and manage their communications but it\u2019s only recently that I\u2019ve had the chance to organise events for my clients. Most of my clients just don\u2019t need \u2018big events\u2019.\nThe other thing I did was get involved in some charitable projects closer to home. This helps me to reach into other areas and opportunities that I don\u2019t really get to handle on a day-to-day basis. These projects help me to keep my knowledge and skills fresh and my experience live, while doing something I love and meeting some amazing people.\nSo if you are considering a career change, or just starting out in the world of freelancing remember to:\nKeep your knowledge, skills and experience up to date\nWork with your competitors and other professionals, and get to know them, you can be a great support to each other\nTags: Bournemouth, Business development, Communications, Freelance consultant\nPrevious PostLinkedIn power\nNext PostOnpoint\nPop-up at The Cow",

        "raw_content": "Lulu\u2019s Repose is located at the Western end of beautiful Ahmic Lake\nGetting to Lulu's Repose\nLulu\u2019s Repose is located at the Western end of beautiful Ahmic Lake near the sleepy Hamlet of Ahmic Harbour. Ahmic Harbour is approximately a 2 \u00bd to 3 hour drive north from the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and Pearson International Airport and about 40 minutes outside of the town of Parry Sound Ontario. From the GTA Ahmic Lake can be accessed via Highway #400 North to Highway #124 East, or, alternately from Highway # 11 North to Highway #520, and the west on Highway #124. Also, the Parry Sound municipal Airport is located approximately a 1 hour drive south of Lulu\u2019s Repose in Seguin Township, just off of Highway #400. Ahmic Harbour is located midway between the municipalities of Dunchurch to the West and Magnetawan to the East with access to most amenities only 15 minutes away.\nView Our 3D Cottage Walk-Thru\ncottage is situated on approximately 7 acres of unspoiled hardwood forest with about 300\u2019 of private waterfront on beautiful Ahmic Lake. The cottage is a one-of-a-kind, custom designed, hand-crafted timber frame structure located approximately 50\u2019 back from the pristine Ahmic Lake shoreline. To maintain the privacy of our guests and retain the natural beauty of the area, we have retained 90% of the natural shoreline. A stretch of about 30\u2019 of sandy beach complete with a large dock is also available on the property and can be accessed via wide, granite steps leading to the lake\nLulu\u2019s Repose sits on a private cottage lane which is only 10 minutes from Highway 124 and is conveniently located a short distance off a four-season municipally maintained, paved road. The cottage lane is shared by only one other cottage with Lulu\u2019s Repose located at the end of the road which ensures total privacy and no traffic. In the winter, both the private cottage lane and municipal paved road are regularly plowed to ensure access to the property. However, for those guests joining us in the winter, we recommend a four-wheel / all-wheel drive vehicle or, at the very least a vehicle equipped with a good set of snow tires be used for travel.\nThe location of the property ensures total privacy yet is not so far from publically maintained infrastructure that it is isolated. In fact, Lulu\u2019s Repose is in an area fully covered by 911 emergency fire, ambulance, and Provincial Police services. You will enjoy the privacy and seclusion of your own private forested retreat without giving up access to essential services.\nAhmic Lake is part of the Magnetawan River waterway in Parry Sound District, Ontario, Canada. Ahmic Lake is approximately 19 km long and directly connects to two smaller lakes, Neighick (nicknamed Beaver Lake) and Crawford Lake. Ahmic Lake is also connected via the Magnetawan river and an operating lock system to Lake Cecebe and Goose Lake offering a total of approximately 45 kms of navigable waterway. The lake has an average depth of approximately 26\u2019 with depths of up to 90\u2019 in some locations with a shore length of some 43 miles.\nAround the beginning of the 20th century, a number of fishing camps were built on Ahmic Lake with other large tracts of shoreline sold to individual families. There is very little crown land left on the lake and the large family owned tracts of shoreline have remained largely intact, making Ahmic a lake with only moderate shoreline disturbance or alteration. From an article by Grant Hopkins published in Ontario Out Of Doors magazine:\nGrant Hopkins - Onatrio Out of Doors\n\u201cOne appealing aspect of Ahmic is that much of the shoreline is in its natural state. It's not a cottage slum. Wealthy U.S. landowners get much of the credit for today's unspoiled grandeur. American sportsmen tagged along with early settlers that travelled by train to Burks Falls, then by steamboat down the Magnetawan River, across Lake Cecebe to the then thriving community of Magnetawan. The village predates Parry Sound and North Bay by 25 years. Here they passed through a lock and down another short stretch of the Magnetawan River to the far end of Ahmic Lake. According to Ken Turner of Woodland Echoes Resort on Ahmic Lake, Americans have been coming to the area since the Civil War, and over the years they bought up as much land as possible to stop development. Settlers considered waterfront a nuisance because it could not be farmed. Canadians did not show much interest in Ahmic Lake waterfront until the 1950s -- a typical situation across central Ontario. The U.S. properties have stayed in families for generations, and each cottage has its own history. For instance, several cabins at Indian Point, built by a Dr. Kelly of Baltimore, still stand after 100 years. Although ownership of cottage land might be a touchy subject with some people, the benefit has been that much of Ahmic Lake, which lacks any significant Crown land, has changed little and is still prime fish habitat.\u201d\nFor its size, Ahmic Lake is remarkably quiet and has very little boat traffic. This may be due to the relative lack of cottage and resort density on a lake of this size. Even at the height of the summer season, it is not unusual to travel for quite some distance before encountering another boat. The lake is fairly well marked for navigation. There are many spots where the rock shoals extend into the lake then plunge to depths of 60 and 90 '. Much of the rest of the lake has steep shorelines with overhanging woods as well as rocky outcroppings. The lake\u2019s water quality is excellent and provides good clarity with an average secchi depth of 3.5 meters. The colour of the lake is often referred to as \u201ctea stained\u201d which is common for waterways that originate in Algonquin. From its headwaters in Algonquin Park, the Magnetawan River flows through lakes, rapids and waterfalls as it winds its way to Georgian Bay. Ahmic Lake is the mid-point of the watershed. The lake empties at Knoepli Falls (Hwy #124 at a great scenic spot). The Magnetawan River is the longest navigable waterway north of Muskoka lake system. It is possible to boat from Burk\u2019s Falls to Ahmic Harbour through more than 40 miles of lakes and rivers.\nThe Magnetawan River is a wonderful recreational opportunity if you fish, swim, boat, kayak, or canoe. If rough water is what you are after there are six sets of rapids on the Magnetawan River between Knoepfli Falls and Maple Island: Porter Rapids, Cody Rapids, Ross Rapids, Seller\u2019s Rapids, Poverty Bay Chutes and Shadow Creek\u2026all waiting for you to explore. If you are a boater or a canoeist there are over 40 miles of river and shore to explore. The white water found on the Magnetawan River is second to none and will give even the experienced white water rafter or kayaker a thrill. Some of the best fishing can be found in the river, there are numerous varieties to catch: Small Mouth Bass, Bass, Pike, Perch, Walleye, Catfish, Smelt, Speckle Trout and many more. Swimming can be found at numerous beaches along the river: Public or Private Beaches. The depth of the river makes exploring the bottom of the river exciting for the scuba diver or snorkeler.",

        "raw_content": "Anyone contract with a retail store?\nkokotele\nPost subject: Anyone contract with a retail store?\nI'm pursuing contracts as the repair person with some of the local retail guitar stores that don't have repair people on staff, and am curious to know how others have structured the relationship.\nI have some ideas, but don't want to reinvent the wheel, either. I wouldn't expect anyone to post their financial arrangements publicly, but would appreciate some back channel messages.\nThings I'm trying to figure out is how much (if any) to discount prices, retainers vs. guaranteed billable hours, and any specific advice.\nPost subject: Re: Anyone contract with a retail store?\nCity: Bernville\nI contracted out to a music store. The situation was somewhat unique but it was a good arrangement and worked well for awhile for both parties. The deal was this: I came in once a week (every Saturday) and I got paid a set amount for the day regardless of how much work the store had for me to do that day. So the onus was on the music store to drum up enough customer repairs to justify the money they owed me every Saturday. These repairs, being in-store repairs, were obviously very limited in the scope and depth of what I could do because I wasn't in my own shop. The work was mostly limited to setups and light fretwork. I brought my own tools. The store charged the customer and I didn't have to deal with that end of things. I didn't even have to come up with estimates. They had a set price for a \"basic setup\" which they pretty much stuck to, although they would charge the customer more if they wanted something outside the scope of a setup like filing the fret ends or something. The appeal to customers, though, was that they could drop off an instrument and have it back that same day and they could even sit and chat with me as I worked on their guitar. That way I could perform better, more personalized setups, with the customer sitting right there. Any work that was beyond the scope of what could be done in the store, like a neck set or refinishing was referred to me to take back to my shop for the week. Hope that helps...Let me know if you found a different arrangement that works for you, because I'm always looking for new ideas myself!\nhttp://www.ericschaeferguitars.com\nMy shop was in a music store for 13 years. Many pros, but there are some cons.\nNow my shop is at home, and I don't have to deal with the stupid stuff.\nI pick up the instrument, fix it at home, take it back. Easy.\nChris, how did billing get handled? Did you charge the shop your regular rates and let them mark it up for the customer, or some other arrangement?",

I think it\u2019s really important for them to set their own goals to work toward, rather than be handed some goals by someone else. I think the hardest part of goal setting is racking your brain for what it is we truly want to accomplish or achieve, It\u2019s not always right there in the forefront of our mind. So, I devised a simple method for discovering and identifying the goals that are already present and simply waiting to be recognized.\nWhen you are ready to print, click a link to the Printable PDF file and print from there. Thanks!\nThe method I came up with is comprised of three sheets. The first is a questionnaire to help you get to know yourself a little better. The second sheet corresponds with the questionnaire to help you choose items to turn into goals. The third sheet can be printed multiple times and is a guide to helping you achieve your goal by getting you to think about how you\u2019ll go about it, who\u2019s going to help you and even set a deadline if you wish.

        "raw_content": "There are many points of view on a relapse. One school of thought says that relapse may be part of the recovery process. It has also been stated that relapse occurs only when the commitment to being clean and sober is weaker than the desire to use again. Yet others claim that relapse is a symptom of a brain disease called addiction that occurs in some drug users, but not others.\nRegardless of your perspective, for people suffering from drug addiction, relapse is an event with potentially catastrophic consequences. Even if one were only clean and sober for a short while, that probably enough to be aware that one takes their lives in their own hands when they choose to use again. If an addict experiences a relapse, how one feels about it is far less important than what they do to address the situation.\nThe most urgent need is to honestly acknowledge the relapse. It is important to recognize what has happened, both for yourself and those closest to you. Secondly, asking for help is necessary. Not only to \u2018ask\u2019 for help, but to actively \u2018get\u2019 help. An addict cannot trust themselves to figure it all out. A treatment center, therapist or counselor, support group, sponsor, a family member, or any combination of these supports, can an addict get back on the beam as soon as possible.\nAt this point, one can feel a sense of self-loathing. The addict may hate themselves for wasting the prior clean time that was accumulated. Despite the fact of the relapse, it is important to understand that the behavior is both harmful and deadly to the addict themselves and those around them. It may be tempting to judge oneself harshly for making the wrong decision. However, judging oneself without the clarity that a support group could provide to the situation, could create yet another reason to continue to relapse.\nAn addict may feel shame or feel so worthless that they are not deserving of receiving help and continued support. Yet, the commitment to get and stay clean, in addition to willingness to ask for and receive help from people we trust, is the basis of humility. A decision must be made, no matter the mistake or circumstance, to get and stay clean one day at a time. It is then that the addict can choose to end the cycle of relapse and continue to recover.\nKeeping the purpose of being clean and sober clear in one\u2019s mind, can keep an addict sober, if they remain honest, willing and keep trying. If a slip back to drink or drugs occurs along the path, it is not to be taken lightly. It is addressed as quickly as possible using the tools learned from recovery. Avoiding self condemnation, it is important not to hamper one\u2019s forward momentum with critical thinking or value judgements. Without pride it is paramount to reach out and get help quickly in order to facilitate a return to recovery.",

        "title": "Harnessing Opportunities from Digital Transformation in the P&C Insurance Industry | MAPFRE Insurance Blog",
        "raw_content": "By Enrique Laso Sanz, CIO, MAPFRE North America\nAll P&C Insurance carriers, big or small, have digital transformation as a key component in their strategic plans. Beyond the hype, there is good reason for that. However, the approaches companies are following are disparate, depending on their digital starting point as well as their particular outlook on what the future may bring. Both things are, by definition, very specific for each company. Especially the second is very relevant as, no matter how visionary the planners can be, we have to recognize that there is not yet a clear, complete scenario about how digitization will affect Insurance. This inability to predict the future makes it very difficult\u2013if not impossible at all\u2013to design strategic plans in a traditional way.\nThere are few other industries that will experience such a profound impact short- and medium-term from digitization as Insurance. For Insurance, it is not just that the way business is conducted is going to change\u2013or rather, is already changing; it is that the nature of the insurance business itself is being transformed. We may have the doubt as to when the transformation will happen but two things seem clear, this is not about long term and the coincidence in time of all those changes has a multiplier effect on the combined impact.\nNo matter how visionary the planners can be, we have to recognize that there is not yet a clear, complete scenario about how digitization will affect Insurance\u201d\nOn a positive note, we can remember that, as it is the case in any big transformation phase, the disruption is not only a threat it also brings new great opportunities for those who learn how to take advantage of them. However, tempering our optimism, we also need to realize that the experience so far shows that Digitization tends to erode profit margins and to concentrate value in a reduced number of players in each market.\nWe can draw indications of how the future will be by looking at how digitization has transformed other industries that were impacted before. However, those lessons\u2013rather impressive in some cases\u2013are only partial. It is a differential factor that insurance, as an industry, is being drastically affected by digitization in every single component of the business.\nOf course we see the change in the way we interact with our customers, the rise of internet and mobile self-service channels, the impact of social media and the surge of digital marketing. We all realize the huge increase in the number of connections that this brings and we also share that awkward feeling to see our businesses\u2019 processes completely exposed on a 24\u00d77 basis. No need to mention the growing cybersecurity challenge that all this represents as we frequently have the opportunity to see in the news.\nWe also notice the shift of our IT landscape through cloud computing and other technologies, for instance, those associated with new models of systems architecture or integration. Though these enhancements are in themselves game-changers, they are now commonplace in most corporate IT plans across industries.\nHowever, three digitization factors are bound to create a much more transformative change in the insurance business:\nThe combination of Advanced Analytics and Intelligent Automation, that is transforming basic insurance processes like underwriting or claim management in ways that we cannot fully anticipate yet.\nThe transformation in the very nature of insured goods derived from the expansion of Internet of Things and Self-driving Vehicles.\nThe potential transformation of the figure of the insurance carrier itself as a result of the impact of forces like the Collaborative Economy or the adoption of Blockchain. This may sound a bit too futuristic, and indeed it will not happen overnight, but we have already witnessed the full meaning of the word \u201cdisruption\u201d in other industries.\nWith these changes already upon us, we are in a challenging situation. For us in the IT departments of P&C Carriers to face it, perhaps the best course of action is to hold onto some old basic principles of our profession, but this time with a very acute sense of urgency:\nA \u201ccan-do\u201d attitude: With determination, we can harness the power of these opportunities, but we have to be proactive.\nTeamwork across the enterprise: This transformation is not just about IT, it is a full change of our business, we must align ourselves with the other business areas in our companies to plan and, especially, to execute whatever projects we decide to launch.\nAdaptability: Since the situation is not clear, flexibility needs to be the key attribute of the new systems we deploy.\nA nimble approach: we need to interiorize that speed is key, first to make decisions and, especially, to execute them.\nThose four principles can help us take on the big transformation we have in front of us. Problem\u2013we know is that they are much easier said than done, especially when circumstances are so demanding. They require a big change in people\u2019s attitude and organizational culture, a change with a capital \u201cC.\u201d\nAs IT professionals, we are lucky to be living very interesting times\u2013who said that IT does not matter? The big wave is coming, and we have the need, and the great opportunity, to ride it.

The Key Arena, for the fifth straight year, will play host to the 2017 Women\u2019s 2017 NCAA Pac-12 Tournament. With twelve teams jostling for the Pac-12 crown that earns an automatic ticket to the NCAA Championship, one athlete in particular from our own University of Washington will likely draw one of the biggest home team crowds in the tournament. Senior KELSEY PLUM (#10), recently named the 2017 Pac-12 Player of the Year, enters the tournament as the nation\u2019s ALL-TIME leading scorer and coming off one of the most explosive regular season performance ever by a woman collegiate athlete in any sport.\nOn February 25th, Plum ignited the net by pouring in a conference record of 57 points that surpassed the legendary Jackie Stiles to become the NCAA All-time leading scorer. Her performance broke both the UW school and conference single game scoring record with 3,397 points. Plum also has scored the second-most points in NCAA Division I history, men\u2019s or women\u2019s behind the NBA Hall of Famer Pete \u201cpistol\u201d Maravich.\nPlum, who leads the nation in scoring at 31.6 points per game finished the regular season shooting 53.7 from the field, 43.6 from three-point range and 88.7 from the foul line. Statistically speaking, these numbers are mind boggling for any basketball fan. And if the stars haven\u2019t already lined up to perfection, she has the opportunity to finish her distinguished senior season as the only player, male or female, in the history of the NCAA to finish a season as the game\u2019s leading scorer and a member of the 50-40-90 club (Shooting, 3-Point and free-throw percentage).\nThis weekend\u2019s women\u2019s collegiate athletic showcase couldn\u2019t have come at a better time to compliment @MediaIncMag current coverage of Women in Film.

        "raw_content": "Medical alerts are devices that help the patient, to get adequate help of the right type during an emergency. They have become an acceptable and obligatory fashion accessory in the present day world. Medical alert articles are easily available in the form of jewelry such as pendants, medallions, bracelets, and necklaces. Medical alerts are also available in the form of alert phones and alert push buttons.\nIt is recommended that people who are suffering from ailments such as hearing, diabetes, Alzheimer?s and other such ailments, as also elders staying alone, should go in for such medical alerts at the earliest, without waiting for a crisis to develop. A medical alert has details of the medical condition of the person, the medications being taken, any allergies a person has, and a phone number for emergency contact. It is seen that the victims who have these medical alerts on their person are attended to, faster as the medical condition is established. This reduces the chance of wrong diagnosis or wrong medication.\nAt times, the elderly victim is unable to reach the telephone or dial in times of a crisis. The services of a push button console would turn out to be quite handy in such cases. This device has a button like structure, which can be pushed at the time of duress. It emits a loud siren, which can be heard up to quite some distance. This ensures the speedy arrival of help for the victim.\nThese devices are easily available in the local market as well as on various online sites. A buyer can also look for umpteen schemes and discounts offered, which make the purchase quite affordable. Most online companies are also known to give free shipping and installing charges. It is advisable to ensure, like in buying any other item, that the price quoted is competitive. The after sale service can also be checked, if possible with a previous customer.\nHence it is advisable to choose from the wide array of the medical alerts available, to protect the near and dear ones from an unforeseen disaster.",

Pick yours!\nThe increasing interest rates, price of electricity and food costs are enough to bankrupt a newly graduate with no form of savings to tap in. The sad reality is, that\u2019s the majority of this class of person. At the beginning of every year, numerous entry-level jobs are filled with new graduates with little or no backup plan; just a new qualification and a desperate need for employment to kick-start their prosperous futures.\nIt is not long after starting their first jobs when they realise, that this way of life, might just be harder than they thought. New income earners also have many \u201csocial needs\u201d to satisfy, so that they can be or form part of the young, successful and educated generation of the republic. This is their future.\nThe need for a reliable set of wheels, which is justifiable for many since various occupations require travelling; a convenient and safe place to live; work-appropriate outfits and a social life with like-minded individuals all make up this natural phenomena.\nUnfortunately, all the above must-have \u201csocial needs\u201d come with very attractive price-tags and soon after accumulating one or all of these, young people enter into the adult world of debt. Simple and easy, or so it seems. This leads to bad credit ratings among the youth when faced with the simplest of financial difficulties and regular payments cannot be made to cover everything they have on credit and soon they are listed on all the credit bureaus. If no financial education is gained at this point, young people will easily find themselves in the dark world of blacklisted adults \u2013 and it\u2019s tough to get out of this hole.\nOnce you have more debt than you can afford, you are nearing serious financial trouble. Pay-up whatever you can and close accounts which do not make financial sense and at the same time speak to your creditors and explain what you are doing and enlist their help. If you can afford to buy a new dress monthly using cash, or even every second month, there is no reason to have a clothing account that lures you into taking more clothing on credit each month. More than what you need. As you free up your budget, set aside as much as you can to deposit into a tax free savings accounts. This is where you start.\nAll the investment returns earned in these accounts are completely tax-free. The National Treasury released draft regulations governing tax free savings account transfers stating that from 1 November 2016, investors will be able to request a transfer of amounts within a tax free savings account without incurring a reduction of their annual and lifetime limits. Investors will also be able to transfer existing savings from one product provider to another during the life of a tax free savings account \u2013 maximum R500 000.\nAnother option to consider is investing your hard earned money into funds known as unit trusts. Unit trusts offer you exposure to a range of assets like shares, bonds and property which are selected and managed by investment professionals. The fund is divided into equal units, hence \u201cunit\u201d trusts and as an investor you own a number of units in each fund. The price of these units depends on the value of all investments within a fund.\nSaving for your future should start today. By putting away little at a time, each month you can be one of the happy young adults that banks are more than willing to grant a home loan to albeit stringent requirements need to be met and thereby enabling you to achieve more in your life; when many are faced with difficult financial situations.\n#Martha Chauke\t#tax free\nYoung players and coaches to learn from SA Hockey icons",

CLOUD - Pancakes, airplanes and classic cars drew thousands of people to the 21st annual Civil Air Patrol Fly-In/Drive-In Pancake Breakfast.\nThe event took place on a chilly Sunday morning at the St. Cloud Regional Airport. Even though the event was colder than most years, the hot pancakes and sausage helped keep event goers warm.\nFamilies were able to tour airplanes, helicopters and check out some classic cars all in the name of raising money for the Civil Air Patrol.\nThe Civil Air Patrol is a lesser known auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force.\nAlyssa Thielen is a Cadet Staff Sergeant with the Civil Air Patrol. She says the patrol helps people learn life skills at a young age.\n\"Our cadet program is from (age) 12 to 21. During that time you learn our core four values. We called it our good friend IVER which is Integrity, Volunteer Service, Excellence and Respect.\"\nThe Civil Air Patrol is run by volunteers. Thielen says that's why events like this are so important.\n\"It is actually really important because this is one of our largest fundraisers of the year. This is where we get a lot of our money to pay for our uniforms and programs that we want to do throughout the year.\"\nEven though the event was at the airport, planes had to share the spotlight with some classic cars from around Central Minnesota. One of the most notable cars there was a piece of St. Cloud history, a car built by Pan Motor Company, one of just five in the area.\nIf you would like to learn more about the Civil Air Patrol or how to get started in the patrol follow the link below.\nFiled Under: granite city days, Pancake Breakfast",

I couldn't help it, but to say yes to everyone that sent a message. I'm so excited to know that a bunch of kids received capes from Santa! I'm hoping we get a couple of pictures from some customers, it would be great to see them! I'm not completely rested here considering I worked both jobs up until Christmas Eve, the in-laws just left today, and I'm about to make my last two cape orders that are in, but it's okay! I'm about to embark on one of my favorite journeys tomorrow..... redoing rooms in my house! It's finally here, the time has come to change these rooms! Yes, the first room I am doing was just done a year ago, but my style has finally come together and I'm ready for a change, that will hopefully last.

(MPR Photo/Annie Baxter)\nRallies took place all over the country on Sunday to mark the 33rd anniversary of the landmark Roe v. Wade court decision legalizing abortion. In Minnesota, the state's leading group opposing abortion convened at the Capitol for what it called its biggest rally ever. Abortion rights supporters held their own, separate events later in the evening, including concerts called \"Rock for Roe.\" But the gathering at the Capitol was a show of political force for abortion opponents. And it provided a snapshot of their political ascendancy in the state right now.\nSt. Paul, Minn. \u2014 The Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life estimated attendance at their rally exceeded 6,000 people. As bagpipes droned in the background, abortion opponents circled round the Capitol's front lawn. Signs listing town names like South St. Paul and Albany announced where the marchers hailed from, and other placards reading \"Stop Abortion Now\" made it clear why they were there.\nPam Abbate, the Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life's spokesperson, told the crowd that the number of abortions in Minnesota has fallen to record low levels.\n\"The pro-life movement is in the fast lane, making gains and saving lives. I personally think in my lifetime, Roe v. Wade will be overturned,\" she said.\nAbbate sounded a hopeful note about some recent Supreme Court appointments. Chief Justice John Roberts has already been confirmed, and Samuel Alito is expected to be confirmed this week. Both men have ambiguous positions on abortion.\nAbbate went on to outline an ambitious legislative agenda for Minnesota in 2006. She said her group will push for laws limiting the use of tax dollars to fund abortions. They'll promote a bill requiring abortion providers to give hospital admitting privileges to women in the event of complications. And they'll seek more stringent oversight of the judicial bypass option in Minnesota's parental notification law.\n\"The bypass allows abortionists to take minors to a judge and get a court order for a judge. We want to know how often this bypass is being used,\" she said.\nThere's strong support in the Minnesota Legislature for bills limiting the scope of abortion rights. Two thirds of the state's House representatives oppose abortion, as do a majority of state senators.\nRepublican Gov. Tim Pawlenty has signed significant pieces of legislation limiting abortion rights. Those include a law requiring a 24-hour waiting period for abortions, and another which funds programs helping women carry their pregnancies to term. And Pawlenty has instituted a \"sanctity of human life day,\" to coincide with the anniversary of Roe v. Wade.\n\"I hope that you're proud to be from a state that officially declares human life as precious, and that it should be protected. As long as I am governor of the state of Minnesota, we will proclaim this day every as sanctity of life day in Minnesota,\" he said.\nOn the whole, none of this sat too well with abortion rights supporter Tim Stanley, director of government and public affairs for Planned Parenthood of Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota. And he's well aware of the clout abortion opponents hold in the state.\n\"To be honest with you, given the agenda that they've put forward, we will be in the defensive position, because they have the numbers at the Legislature to be very competitive on anything they want to initiate,\" he said.\nStanley says that balance of power is changing incrementally. He points to some House seats won by abortion rights supporters in the in the 2004 election, as well as two Senate seats recently won through special elections. \"I think that our momentum right now should be a cautionary tale to the anti-choice community to not overplay their hand and this agenda they've put forth, to be frank, if they really initiate that agenda, I believe they will be overplaying their hand, and we will come back at the ballot box in November and be successful,\" Stanley said.\nIn the meantime Stanley is hoping for success with his group's agenda for this legislative session: he says they'll push for better education and resources to prevent unwanted pregnancies altogether.\nCAMPAIGN 2006: GOVERNOR: TIM PAWLENTY\nHatch concedes; Pawlenty barely wins re-election\nHatch, Hutchinson and Pawlenty face off one last time",

Marketization continues aggressively in universities, and the students' and their families' view of university education has been equaled with shopping that they expect to pay for service.\u201d\n\"The fact that university administrations consider students as customers is reflected as the attempts to ensure the safety of instructors only by means of technical measures and the ignorance of the fact that the scholars are being discredited. ...The fact that the teaching staff is threatened by the administrations by means of dismissal, reduction of wages, mobbing, and workload makes the situation even worse\u201d, \u00dcKD\u2019s statement continued.\nThe statement ended by reminding that workers of science should not be and are not alone against these threats. \u201cWe're not alone, we shouldn't be; no matter how long we've been alone, we have to get organized today\u201d, it added.",

However, the beginning of set-up faced a few delays due to issues related to location selection since a number of districts came up with demands to set up the medical institute in their region. To come up with a final selection, a special central team had made visits to five locations in Tamil Nadu \u2013 including those at Madurai, Erode and Pudukottai districts. After considering all factors, the central government team zeroed down Thoppur of Madurai district to be an ideal location to set up the landmark AIIMS facility of the state.\nAfter the location being finalised, K Palaniswami, the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu declared that the set-up of AIIMS in Madurai will now begin. It will be a 750-bed modern facility will be set up in the town of Thoppur near Madurai at an estimated cost of Rs 1,500 crore. It is remarkable that the proposed institute will also have a teaching facility attached to it with 100 MBBS seats, boosting the state\u2019s premium medical education facility provisions significantly. Thanking the Centre, Palaniswami assured that Tamil Nadu government will provide all the needed support to turn AIIMS facility into a reality.\nTo turn AIIMS Tamil Nadu into a reality, Palaniswami has directed state Health Minister C Vijayabaskar, Principal Health Secretary, J Radhakrishnan and other senior officials to provide all the necessary support to the Centre to initiate the work at the earliest. Even the late Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa was very keen that an institution of the calibre of AIIMS will set up in Tamil Nadu. She believed that the medical facility can provide quality medical education, research, and high-end tertiary healthcare in the public sector for the betterment of the poor and middle-class people.\nTagsAIIMS AIIMS Thoppur Central Government Healthcare India Jayalalithaa K Palaniswami Madurai Tamil Nadu Union Budget",

        "raw_content": "JPMorgan is in the middle of a 'massive process' of cleaning up thousands of databases, and it's hoping to unleash AI once it's finished\nJPMorgan co-president Daniel Pinto spoke to Business Insider recently about the complexity of making usable the massive amounts of data that the bank collects from customers. Artificial intelligence can only be unleashed once data is made usable in a clean and consistent way, Pinto said. Wall Street's dream for artificial intelligence is running into the hard facts of what's needed to bring it to life. At JPMorgan, the largest US bank, there are thousands of databases that still need to be cleaned and made usable before AI or machine learning techniques can be fully unleashed, according to co-President Daniel Pinto, who spoke with Business Insider on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davis, Switzerland. Chart that workload across dozens of large banks, not to mention investment firms, and the scale of the work ahead for the industry is a staggering reminder that the robot revolution is still years away. Sign up here for our weekly newsletter \"Wall Street Insider,\" a behind-the-scenes look at the stories dominating banking, business, and big deals. For years, JPMorgan built databases for particular purposes in one system only to build another for a different purpose in a second system, according to Pinto. For sophisticated AI techniques to be most effective, that data needs to be assigned the same name and migrated into the same system, or at least housed in interconnected systems. That project is just one of many being covered by JPMorgan's $11 billion in annual technology spend. \"We are in a massive process of making that data usable, in a very clean, consistent way,\" Pinto said. \"We have plenty of data across multiple systems that was developed over time, so often the same thing is called X here and Y there. It takes time, money and effort to really clean up all of that.\" JPMorgan isn't alone. For decades, banks were at the forefront of data collection, hoovering up information about stock and bond trades, credit-card transactions and mortgage loans. But for most of that time, firms were content to take in the data and store it, with few spending much time thinking about how it might be retrieved or compared to other datasets nestled in other parts of the firm. Read more: There's a subtle shift underway at JPMorgan, and it shows how Amazon's influenced the Wall Street giant According to a July 2016 McKinsey article, about 50% of the time spent by employees in finance and insurance is used for collecting and processing data. That and the large amounts of data involved in the industry make it one of the area's most ripe for disruption, according to the consultant. At Credit Suisse, the bank has focused on ensuring that any data that gets fed into AI tools is of the highest possible quality, according to the Swiss firm's Chief Technology Officer Laura Barrowman. For an AI-based tool to be efficient, the data it analyzes needs to be complete and accurate. While that might seem like a basic request, Barrowman said it's a critical one and not easily achievable in a company the size of Credit Suisse. \"Making sure that your basics are right is a fundamental for everything,\" said Barrowman, also speaking on the sidelines of the Davos event. Read more: Credit Suisse's CTO says that AI could create huge opportunities on Wall Street and that banks haven't even scratched the surface If a company is able to create consistencies across the data sets that sit within its organization, the opportunities for what AI can do at Wall Street firms are huge, she said. And they will undoubtedly provide banks revenue opportunities they might not have realized previously. As banks wade into that new realm, they'll have to be careful to protect customer data. While many clients like the analytics banks are providing around their own data, customers are incredibly uneasy about having their own data shared with others, according to Pinto. The topic is fraught with drama in the wake of consumer-data breaches at tech giants like Facebook. \u201cYou need to be very careful to protect client privacy,\" Pinto said. \"A lot of clients don\u2019t want their data used elsewhere, even in aggregate.\u201d Join the conversation about this story \u00bb",

        "title": "NHFH: Joe English Hill",
        "raw_content": "Joe English Hill\nTrailhead is at the end of Summit Drive in New Boston, NH. To get there, take Meadow Road from the east side of Rt. 13, 3.8 miles north of the center of Mont Vernon. Drive 0.8 miles to the end of Meadow Road, then turn left onto Joe English Road. Continue another 0.8 miles, then turn right onto McCurdy Road. Drive 0.7 miles, then take a right onto Summit Drive. Continue 0.5 miles to the end of the road and park in the cul-de-sac.\nAlthough very small in elevation, Joe English Hill stands out from its low, flat surroundings in southern New Hampshire and is often identified along with the Uncanoonucs when seen from afar. Joe English is notable for its nearly cliff-faced southern slope, which provides several of its best viewpoints. Despite being an excellent short hike with good views and easy access, it remains relatively obscure to hikers, overshadowed by more popular destinations in the region. This is due to confusion about access and the lack of any official trail. Follow our directions carefully and you will have no trouble reaching this delightful place.\nFrom the cul-de-sac, proceed straight along the edge of a pond on the gravel extension of the road. After just over 0.1 miles, fork left onto a narrower path as the road bears right to a driveway. This path climbs through the forest over a few rocky areas for 0.2 miles, then ends at a gravel clearing with several junk piles. The original road comes in on the opposite side of the clearing. Turn left and continue on the gravel road. The road climbs moderately, then becomes steeper. Paths diverge in several places; stay straight on the main path. There are slight views back over the path to the north as you climb. In just over 0.1 miles, the gravel road abruptly ends and becomes a footpath through very open, gently sloping forest. After 0.2 miles, the path reaches the first viewpoint, which looks to the west and takes in Crotched Mountain.\nThe path crests the broad summit area of Joe English and intersects a yellow-blazed trail which bizarrely begins at an inaccessible point on the other side of the hill. Turn right onto this mysterious trail for another viewpoint. This vista looks southwest to the Wapack Range and Mt. Monadnock. This area is quite ledgy. Continue on the yellow trail as it heads across the west side of the summit plateau through the pleasantly open forest. Just as it leaves the ledgy area, it passes two beaten paths; the first one is on the right, is somewhat hard to follow, and leads 0.2 miles to a good viewpoint over a large field and several houses (not included in the trip distance). The second path leaves on the left; take note of this one for later. For now, continue on the yellow trail as it heads straight for the cliff-faced south slope. In just under 0.2 miles, the path appears to end, but drops down onto a ledgy perch with a sweeping view over the flat countryside. Several marshes add color to the view, as well as the giant white spheres of the New Boston Tracking Station. To the far left, you can see the Uncanoonuc Mountains. This viewpoint appears to be the most open vista on Joe English Hill. When you are finished enjoying this beautiful view, return the way you came to the previously mentioned path and turn right, following it a short distance to an intersection. Turn right and proceed to a small clearing. Straight ahead, the path continues over the true summit and drops to another ledge outcrop, similar to the one reached by the yellow trail (not included in the trip distance). Turn left and continue past a diverging path on the right, reaching the yellow trail on the opposite side of the summit. To the right, the yellow trail descends to its mysteriously inaccessible trailhead. Turn left and take a few steps out into a rocky clearing with lawn chairs set up for raptor migration viewing. This viewpoint provides an excellent look at the Uncanoonucs. To complete the loop, continue along the yellow trail 0.1 miles back to the junction with the trail you ascended. You may now return the way you came.",

        "raw_content": "\u2018That Stupid Rock\u2019 Got Ragin\u2019 Cajuns to College World Series, Catcher\u2019s Father Says\nThe University of Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin\u2019 Cajuns swept the University of Arizona Wildcats on the third weekend in May during a best-of-three-games series and advanced to the NCAA Women\u2019s Softball World Series.\nTalent, practice and hard work played a role \u2014 but backup pitcher Victoria Brown said her stuffed frog helped too. She said she always brings along her stuffed frog, cell phone and headphones.\n\u201cThat\u2019s the packing list,\u201d Brown said. \u201cAs long as those things are there, everything else can be replaced.\u201d\nFans of the Ragin\u2019 Cajuns showed off their black-rimmed glasses similar to the ones worn by starting pitcher Christina Hamilton during games.Donnalyn Anthony | NYT Institute\nThe frog is just one of the many superstitions held by the Ragin\u2019 Cajun squad.\nChristina Hamilton, a starting pitcher, is known for the no-lens glasses she has worn since high school. Her father thinks the glasses are an \u201cintimidating factor\u201d to some batters.\nDuring a high school game, she accidentally popped out one of the lenses. Hamilton, now a redshirted junior, was challenged by her teammates that she would not continue to compete without both lenses.\nHamilton pushed out the other lens and headed back to the mound.\nMore than five years later, Hamilton is playing the same way. During the season whenever she has not worn the heavy-rimmed glasses, because they were broken or lost, she did not play as well, her father, Tim Hamilton, said.\n\u201cPeople love it,\u201d said Lexie Elkins, the starting catcher, of Hamilton\u2019s glasses. \u201cGuys are like obsessed with the fact that she can wear nerd glasses\u201d and still dominate the game. \u201cThey adore her.\u201d\nMost Cajuns players expressed the need to keep the same routine. They wear the same cleats, same batting gloves, same sliders, same headbands, same hair bows and other accessories \u2014 sometimes going weeks without washing them.\nElkins said the holes in the batting gloves she refused to discard became so huge that she was finally forced to replace them.\nThe simplest routines can take on significance, the women said. Before the game, they warm-up with the same people and stand by the same person during the National Anthem.\nJason Elkins rubs this rock for good luck every time his daughter, Lexi, goes to bat.Donnalyn Anthony | NYT Institute\nTheir parents even have their own game-day superstitions. This season against Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, Ky., Elkins\u2019 father found a \u201cmagical\u201d rock.\nWhen she \u201cgoes up to bat, he rubs the rock,\u201d Tammy Elkins, her mother, said. In a series against the Western Kentucky University Hilltoppers, she hit two home runs with eight R.B.I.s, went five for 10 at the plate and was named Sun Belt Conference Player of the Week.\nHer father \u201cswore it was that stupid rock.\u201d\n\u201cThe following weekend, he couldn\u2019t find the rock and she didn\u2019t do as well,\u201d her mother said. \u201cShe had been doing very well then did really bad that weekend.\u201d\nOn the way home, her father searched hard and found the rock, which resembles \u201ca flat leaf, but a little thicker,\u201d her mother said. Once it was back in his pocket, she started playing well again.\nTammy Elkins, donned in her good luck charm, roots for her daughter\u2019s team from the stands.Donnalyn Anthony | NYT Institute\nLexie\u2019s father is not the only one in the family with superstitions. Her mother wears the same black floppy hat to all the games. Elkins said she believed her mother was trying to be more stylish than anything else.\n\u201cShe always wears it; she thinks she cute,\u201d Elkins said of her mother with a laugh.\nAnd it is not just the players and parents \u2014 many fans said they had their own lucky routines.\n\u201cBeing a fan is a really tough job some days,\u201d said Jan Jumonville, a self-proclaimed super fan for more than 20 years. She has worn her special hat for all five of the team\u2019s World Series appearances since 1993.\n\u201cI do not normally bring that hat out,\u201d Jumonville said. She wore it for the tie-breaker regional matchup against the University of Texas and Louisiana crushed the Longhorns 10-1.\n\u201cWe all have our superstitions,\u201d said Belinda Vincent, who is known by some fans as Momma Softball due to her responsibility of organizing pre-game tailgates. \u201cI have been wearing this shirt for all of the regional games and conference tournament.\u201d\nVincent said she and her husband have been following Cajun softball for over 20 years. They never had any children on the team, but she said they consider all the players and fans part of their family.\nFor some fans, the routine is more than wearing the same article of clothing.\nCrystal Bourque, a graduate of the university, said she rarely attended games as a student.\nCrystal Bourque says the late Jim Polick, a huge Cajuns fan, has \u201cmade it to every game this year.\u201d Tierra Smith | NYT Institute\n\u201cI really got into it after I graduated,\u201d she said. Bourque has been a fan for more than 20 years and a season ticket holder for more than 10.\n\u201cI never knew anyone on the team personally, but I became a really big fan.\u201d For several years, Bourque went to home and away games with an older friend, Jim Polick.\n\u201cHe was an avid fan,\u201d she said, and they became good friends despite a 45-year age gap.\nPolick died last summer and, in remembrance of him, Bourque bought his season ticket and now she carries a sign with his picture. At home games, she uses a zip tie to attach the sign to the railing near his old seat, behind home plate.\n\u201cHe has made it to every game this year,\u201d she said. \u201cHe has the best seat in the park.\u201d",

Every time the victor phone makes headlines, industry analysts always seem to predict that the device will hit the market the following year.\nOnce again, Samsung has not confirmed an official launch date for the Galaxy Tab S4.\nAs for the amount of RAM, Samsung has so far offered RAM varying between 4-6GB, but the rumors are saying that could change with the Galaxy Note 9 where Samsung could offer as much as 8GB of RAM. The differences between these two Note series devices are placement of the fingerprint scanner, and the design of the S Pen.\nThe Samsung Galaxy Note 9 price has leaked ahead of the device's official unveiling on August 9, along with the best look at the next Samsung phone that has been revealed so far.\nThe South Korean electronic's manufacturer is expected to launch the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 in early August.\n\"As we develop this product, we know that we have focused on bringing health-related functions and performance to the best of its kind in the industry\", an industry source said to ZDNet. This means that Samsung is not going all near bezel-less display as other smartphone players in the market. There have been questions about how large the external display will be, and the answer now seems to be \"not very\". Now the Wall Street Journal is confirming Samsung's folding phone plans and adding a few more details on what to expect from the device when it ships next year.\nWith the Galaxy S9 failing to sell as well as the company expected, Samsung needs a win. Separately, a couple of hands-on images of the upcoming Galaxy Note model has been leaked.",

        "raw_content": "National Cotton Council President Mark Lange Examines Farm Bill's Progress, Prospects\nMon, 02 Apr 2012 17:21:29 CDT\nMark Lange, President and CEO of the National Cotton Council of America, spoke to growers recently about what he sees in store for the new farm bill. He said that getting such a bill passed is an enormous undertaking and that producers are unanimous that they need a good bill and they need it now. He says where the difficulty comes in is whose definition of \u201cgood bill\u201d do you use?\nAs the process of crafting a new farm bill in all its complexity has gone forward, Lange has had a ringside seat. He gave his audience a sneak preview of which way the winds are blowing and what he expects to see. In many ways, it\u2019s not a pretty picture, but Lange remains hopeful.\nHe said one of the biggest things to keep in mind is that any bill will contain more cuts than are now expected. Those cuts will drastically change the farm bill landscape.\n\u201cThe House passed a budget yesterday which requires $33 billion instead of 23 billion and it specifically identifies some cuts to commodities, conservation and crop insurance that are higher than the cuts that were in the $23 billion dollar plan. That $23 billion dollar package is fairly fragile. I would tell you that if you have to take much more than a billion or two out of commodity programs, it\u2019s going to cause an unraveling because you\u2019re going to have to really start paring back on a wide number of things. And most people, most producers, will begin to realize that the safety net that has been there for agriculture is disappearing. The safety net that would exist would just be a marketing loan for most commodities. And that\u2019s going to be disturbing, I think, to all of us.\u201d\nHe said legislators are complaining that they are having a difficult time finding common ground among all the commodity groups.\n\u201cThe commodity groups themselves have made it a little difficult on Congress because the commodity groups aren\u2019t giving the Congress a unified voice.\n\u201cAnd I don\u2019t mind telling you, because I speak for cotton--that\u2019s my job--that some grains and oil seeds are trying to take your money. And not just our money, but they\u2019re trying to take the money that\u2019s in the baseline for rice and peanuts and cotton in order to enrich their revenue programs.\n\u201cIf they think we\u2019re just going to roll over and say \u2018Oh, yeah, that\u2019s just fair,\u2019 I don\u2019t think so. So Congress comes to us and says you really need to give us better direction, but I\u2019m sorry, as long as the grains and oil seeds are going to try to steal several hundreds of millions of dollars annually in support from rice, peanuts and cotton to enrich their programs, we\u2019re not going to speak with a single voice. It\u2019s not going to happen.\u201d\nLange said that everyone is concerned that we get a farm bill passed by next fall and that\u2019s the biggest question mark of all.\n\u201cCan they complete their work by November? I think that\u2019s very y difficult. It\u2019s really not November. They\u2019ll probably adjourn in very early October since it\u2019s an election year. So, can they get that work done in a shortened work year? I think that\u2019s really yet to be determined.\u201d\nAnd even if Congress does pass the bill, getting it implemented in a timely fashion will be a difficult process.\n\u201cThe other thing that I can tell you we have to be prepared for-and all of agriculture will grapple with this eventually-is transition or extension. As you run up farther into this year and you don\u2019t have a farm bill and you\u2019re eventually talking about a farm bill that is substantially from the current bill, in all likelihood you can\u2019t get it into place by 2013. FSA and RMA can do some pretty good things, but if they\u2019re not handed the final legislation until late in 2012, they just won\u2019t get it done so that it\u2019s in effect for 2013. There will be a transition, in all likelihood, if that happens.\u201d\nLange also addressed the the long-simmering trade issues with Brazil that if not handled properly , could result in tensions, tarrifs and a trade war.\nYou can listen to Mark Lange\u2019s full address to the Cotton Growers annual meeting by clicking the LISTEN BAR below.\nMark Lange speaks about 2012 Farm Bill.",

        "raw_content": "NLD supporters ahead of the Myanmar election in 2015. Photo: Civil Rights Defenders.\nSince the National League of Democracy (NLD) took office in Myanmar in 2016 the new administration has failed to carry out significant reform. We recognize the continued domination by the military, but the new government\u2019s ability and willingness to improve the human rights situation is deeply disappointing.\nIn Rakhine State, the Rohingya minority continues to face state-sponsored abuse the UN says may constitute crimes against humanity, heightened after a serious escalation of violence in October 2016. Credible reports of serious abuses by security forces have emerged, including extrajudicial killings, rape and other forms of sexual violence, torture and mistreatment, arbitrary arrest, and arson. Access to Northern Rakhine State remains restricted, including for humanitarian agencies supplying food and healthcare to a population that is almost wholly reliant on it for their very survival. The government puts its hope in the Kofi Annan Advisory Commission on Rakhine state. We welcome the commission however, it has no mandate to investigate human rights abuses. The government must take responsibility for and fully cooperate with the UN-Mandated Fact-Finding Mission.\nAlthough the 21st Century Panglong Conference is slated as an opportunity to achieve nationwide peace, state sponsored violence and persecution continues in Kachin and Northern Shan State and poses a serious threat to the achievement of national peace and reconciliation. The government must do all it can to push for an end to military impunity. As offences continue, the space for humanitarian agencies to deliver necessary goods is also disrupted and access to the internally displaced heavily restricted.\nRestrictions on freedom of expression and censorship remain of deep concern, creating a toxic environment in which speech in defense of the vulnerable is deterred, contributing to rising forms of intolerance and a shrinking space for human rights defenders. Cases of censorship have exponentially increased under the new administration. Laws governing electronic communication including Sec 66(d) of the Telecommunications Act are now frequently being used to criminalise legitimate speech. Over 50 individuals have been charged under this provision, among them those who are accused of \u201cdefaming\u201d both State Counsellor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and President U Htin Kyaw. The Unlawful Associations Act continues to be used to crack down on legitimate assembly and peaceful protest. Charges must be dropped against those facing trial for political reasons and political prisoners released.\nOn the Situation in Northern Rakhine State and Protection for the Rohingya:\n-Urge the State Counsellor to ensure full and unfettered access to Northern Rakhine State, including for humanitarian agencies, civil society and human rights groups, and journalists;\n-Urge the State Counsellor to cooperate fully with the United Nations Fact Finding Mission, including by allowing unimpeded access to requested areas and ensuring that those who cooperate with the Mission are protected from reprisal;\n-Urge the State Counsellor to take effective measures to prevent and respond to all forms of sexual violence in conflict;\n-Push the State Counsellor to remove all restrictions on freedom of movement for the Rohingya that has led to adverse impact on basic livelihood including health and education;\n-Push the State Counsellor to ensure equal access to citizenship for the Rohingya and amend the 1982 Citizenship Law.\nOn State sponsored violence in ethnic minority areas:\n-Urge the State Counsellor to allow full and unfettered access to humanitarian aid organizations to all internally displaced persons in need of humanitarian assistance;\n-Urge the State Counsellor that peace cannot prevail, without the participation and support of all Ethnic Armed Organizations, both signatories and non-signatories to the Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement;\n-Urge the State Counsellor to increase women\u2019s involvement at all levels of the peace process;\n-Urge the State Counsellor to keep pushing for constitutional reform. The success of the peace process is inextricably linked to the amendment of the military-drafted 2008 Constitution, a document that the NLD election campaign vowed to change.\nOn Freedom of Speech and Protection for Human Rights Defenders:\n-Urge the release of all political prisoners and drop all charges against those facing politically motivated charges;\n-Urge the reform and prompt repeal of laws that are used to persecute human rights defenders and others critical of both the government and military, including 66(d) of the Telecommunications Act, the Penal Code and other repressive legislation used to fuel politically motivated arrest and detention;\n-Urge the State Counsellor to sign and ratify the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR)\n-Urge the tangible reform of the Myanmar National Human Rights Commission and ensure that its mandate is aligned with the UN Paris Principles including maintaining a genuinely independent composition. Urge the Commission to actively investigate human rights abuses rather than being an awareness raising body.\nMartin Gemzell, Asia Programme Director, Civil Rights Defenders\nKristina Jelmin, Operations Manager, The Swedish Burma Committee\nAnna Sundstr\u00f6m, Secretary General, Olof Palme International Center\nWe Urge Ant\u00f3nio Guterres to Call for the Release of Jailed Lawyers and Opposition MembersExiled Journalist Abducted \u2013 Open Letter to the Georgian Prime Minister",

        "title": "Gold Article Full Story",
        "raw_content": "Gold \u2013 Obsolete Relic or Prudent Insurance?\n(June 3, 2004) Much as we\u2019d like to market the cheery yellow metal just by repeating over and over that it\u2019s fun and satisfying to have your own shiny stacks of gold, we feel that some gravitas is lacking in the Scrooge McDuck approach to hawking gold portfolios. So let\u2019s talk insurance\u2026\nDeficit spending by our government is growing, and the US trade deficit with China, Japan, and much else of the world, runs into the hundreds of billions of dollars annually. The accommodating citizens of those countries are accepting our dollars and bonds in payment for real items that we use, wear, drive, and otherwise consume.\nNeat trade for us, eh? The world manufactures, grows, and mines real goods, and swaps them for what our Department of the Treasury prints.\nNot to scoff at the products of our national presses. The truth is, US paper dollars are accepted currency in most of the world. The green- and blacked-inked products that the US Treasury prints on cotton-linen rag paper actually have international utility as a relatively stable currency, particularly in countries whose own national currency product is viewed with some suspicion by the locals. So it\u2019s not as if we\u2019re not supplying something of value to the world in exchange for their stuff.\nBut the dollar\u2019s status as the world\u2019s money can change. The continued acceptance of dollars overseas hinges on the expectation that dollars will perform not only as a currency, but also as a store of value (as gold always has), i.e., you can hide them away, and those dollars will still be worth something when you need them in the future.\nYet, what the dollar ultimately lacks (and what gold has) is scarcity. There is about 2/3 of an ounce of gold per person in the world, yet there is no limit to the dollar supply, a commodity that we\u2019re cranking out like there\u2019s no tomorrow. Consequently, over the past three years we have seen a relentless weakening of the dollar versus other currencies, and versus gold.\nGold has been an enduring measure of wealth for many millennia. Yet today, ordinary US citizens don\u2019t think about gold very much at all. Gold hasn\u2019t been everyday money in the US since the early 1930s, and our dollar lost its gold backing in 1971. So in the minds of many Americans, gold as a store of value is an obsolete concept.\nAnd if you likewise believe that gold is a relic, then you most likely feel that owning gold today is unnecessary. You would have a lot of company in that belief, as the US Treasury has for decades declared to the world that gold is a vestige of the past, an unneeded commodity now that the dollar is the world\u2019s reserve currency.\nBut let\u2019s assume that you don\u2019t think that gold is obsolete, but you don\u2019t own any because you just don\u2019t see the necessity for it.\nThe question then becomes, exactly when would you decide that owning gold is a good idea?\nObviously, gold would be a useful preserver of capital in a period of rampant inflation, or economic turmoil, or at any time when dollar-denominated assets are being threatened. You certainly would want gold under any of those circumstances, but most importantly, you would want to have purchased gold BEFORE any of those things happened.\nWhy before? Because you can\u2019t get your house insured after it\u2019s already caught fire. In other words, the gold market measures economic risks every day, and gold is priced in dollars under the real-time influence of news, economic and trade statistics, and a continuous re-evaluation of the state of the world. The more dire things appear to be, the higher the gold price is going to be INSTANTLY.\nThink of the gold market as a gigantic, all-risk, insurance underwriter. When things are calm, and the economy and the dollar appear to be in good shape, the market allows you to buy gold insurance cheaply. And that\u2019s the best time to buy insurance \u2013 when it seems unnecessary. If you wait until things get dicey, it\u2019ll be too late - the gold market will already reflect a world of worry way ahead of whenever you might have come to that same conclusion.\nSo if you have assets to protect, and you don\u2019t believe that gold has become obsolete, it behooves you to acquire an insurance policy in the form of gold bullion, preferably at a time when it seems there\u2019s no need for one at all.\nGold is like any other insurance policy in that it\u2019s best left unexercised. You don\u2019t buy auto insurance hoping to be in a car wreck, and you don\u2019t buy life insurance in hopes of death. And in buying gold, you don\u2019t necessarily become a cheerleader for its price to rise. No rational person would wish for the kind of economy in which the price of gold is skyrocketing, because such a scenario often means that other financial assets are going down the tubes. Gold ownership is simply insurance against such an occurrence.\nJust for a moment, let\u2019s remove gold\u2019s baggage. Forget about it as an historical symbol of wealth and power, the tangible element of wealth itself, and the very basis of money. And put aside the idea that gold is an investment, or an inflation hedge, or any notion that gold is \u2018true money\u2019 in a world of fiat currency. And, like Donald Duck and his nephews so often had to with Uncle Scrooge, we'll ignore that fellow over there having so much fun playing with his stacks of gold coins.\nLet\u2019s just consider gold as insurance - a different kind of insurance, with the following advantages:\nYou only pay for it once \u2013 there are no quarterly or annual premiums.\nRates (the gold price) may increase in the future, but your policy cost is fixed forever.\nOnce you hide your gold away, you never have to think about it again.\nIn the long run, the coverage that gold provides you will always adjust for inflation \u2013 true inflation, not some manipulated CPI or PPI hedonic figment.\nYour gold insurance is always transferable, to anyone you choose.\nYou can borrow against it, or cash it out, at any time. The fact that you bought gold doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re married to gold.\nIf you get tired of the form that your gold is in, remember that it is very malleable and has a low melting point. Make it into something else.\nAnd most importantly, gold is permanent. It will survive you, and give your heirs something interesting to fight over.",

The bell\u2019s decorative stone base, which matches a recently completed stone wall that graces the front of campus grounds, is designed to represent the college\u2019s strength and stability.\n\u201cThe ringing ceremony places a special focus on our long tradition of excellence in teaching and the scholarly achievements of our faculty since our college was founded, as well as the distinctive learning opportunities we offer our students,\u201d said Olson.\nPreviously located at St. Margaret\u2019s School in North Buffalo, the bell was first crafted in 1858 by the internationally acclaimed Meneely Bell Foundry, one of the greatest bell makers in American history. Meneely bells, known for their exceptional quality and rich tone, may be found at churches and other locales around the world.\nA gift to Daemen from Iskalo Development Corp., the historic 159-year-old bell has been recently refurbished thanks to support from the college\u2019s Class of 1967.\nAn all-campus luncheon will immediately follow the dedication and ringing ceremony.\nDaemen Founders Celebration events taking place Sept. 7 and 8, excluding the 70th Anniversary Gala, are free and open to the public. A complete list of activities is available at www.daemen.edu/founderscelebration.",

        "raw_content": "IMF\u2019s global financial stability report warns of serious risks to emerging market capital flows\nA stronger dollar, higher credit spreads, weaker equity prices and higher domestic interest rates have led to a tightening of financial conditions in recent months, very similar to the taper tantrum episode of 2013\nThe International Monetary Fund\u2019s (IMF\u2019s) Global Financial Stability Report was spot on when it came to foretelling the meltdown in global markets. It was probably just fortunate timing, but a section of the report, published on Wednesday, is titled: Asset Valuations Remain Stretched in Major Markets and Could Adjust Abruptly. It was an eerily accurate prediction of the current mayhem. This time, the trouble started in the US and in the over-owned FAANG (Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix and Google) stocks. The US market breadth was getting narrower by the day, just like in the Indian market and that\u2019s usually a sign of a broader market sell-off.\nThe IMF report said, \u201cStandard valuation metrics, such as cyclically adjusted price-to-earnings ratios, show that equity valuations in the United States have continued to be elevated well beyond pre-crisis levels despite trade tensions.\u201d\nWhat\u2019s the impact on emerging markets? The report says a stronger dollar, higher credit spreads, weaker equity prices and higher domestic interest rates have led to a tightening of financial conditions in recent months, very similar to the taper tantrum episode of 2013.\nWhat is IMF\u2019s prognosis? Well, it says that the fall in inflows to emerging markets is just getting started.\nCast your eyes on the accompanying chart, taken from the report. It details IMF\u2019s forecasts of the fall in inflows from emerging markets on account of three factors\u2014expectations about interest rate hikes from the US Federal Reserve, from the balance sheet contraction of the Fed and on account of risk aversion.\nAs the chart shows, the cumulative fall in inflows from emerging markets, estimated at $42 billion till the September quarter, is projected to go up by another $10 billion in the current quarter to a cumulative $52 billion. Note that the chart shows the cumulative fall in flows and not the fall in an individual quarter. Also, it shows that inflows are expected to fall by another $36 billion in 2019, bringing the cumulative fall in inflows from the fourth quarter of 2017 to a huge $88.6 billion.\nThese numbers are just forecasts and they are likely to be far from perfect, but the direction is very clear\u2014inflows are going to fall for a long time. As the report says, this drop in inflows will pose challenges to countries that rely heavily on external financing. In other words, financing India\u2019s rising current account deficit is going to be far from easy.\nThe numbers given in the chart are the report\u2019s baseline outlook. But it also outlines the worst-case scenario. \u201cThe analysis suggests that under a severely adverse scenario\u2026 medium-term debt outflows could reach 0.6% of the combined GDP of emerging market economies, excluding China, on a par with the outflows seen during the global financial crisis... This tail-risk scenario would likely have a severe impact on economic performance in emerging markets, especially for sovereign and corporate borrowers that are dependent on external financing.\nTopics: IMF Emerging Markets Capital Flows Dollar Interest Rates",

        "raw_content": "In June 2009, Parisar undertook a survey of cyclists in Pune with the help of Prof. Shruti Tambe of the Sociology Department of the Pune University, and her students. From Parisar's side Ranjit Gadgil was responsible for driving the project. The idea was to understand the demographic profile of cyclists in Pune, and their real needs and requirements. This survey was only a pilot survey with a small sample size of about 100 cyclists. But it still resulted in valuable insights about cycling in Pune and attitude towards cyclists. Click on the image to the left to download the full report (900KB).\nThe survey was based on a questionnaire kindly provided by Dr. Rajendra Ravi of the Institute for Democracy and Sustainability, Delhi. Just over 100 cyclists were surveyed at 14 different locations in May 2009. This survey was restricted to cyclists who were not school students, since they form a separate demographic profile. A summary of the findings are given below:\nNot surprisingly, an overwhelming number of the respondents (102 out of 104) were men. So, Parisar may undertake a separate survey of women cyclists to understand their issues. Perhaps the most interesting finding was that the 107 respondents covered fully 47 different professions! They included government employees, small and medium traders, daily wage workers, factory workers, travelling salespersons, shop owners etc.\nAbout half of them were from fairly low income families (monthly income of less than Rs. 5000), with the highest being in the region of Rs. 40000. Nearly half the respondents had been cycling in the city for less than a decade, though there were about 4 citizens who had been cycling for more than 4 decades in the city!\nCycling facilities and issues\nOne good finding was that most of the cyclists did not have to pay to park their cycles - only 2 out of the respondents indicated that they had to. But 40 of them had had their bicycles stolen at least once and 16 of them had been victims of accidents, three of them being seriously injured. The single biggest culprit of the problem was motorcycles.\nSaving money and not causing pollution were seen as the greatest benefits of cycling, though quite a few other causes were also listed. Not surprisingly, most felt the biggest problems facing the cyclist today are the unsafe conditions for cycling as reflected in the statements that they were afraid of being hit by other vehicles and that they found it difficult to cross intersections. However, in spite of this, a healthy 92 out of 104 respondents said they would like to continue cycling! Most cyclists felt that separate bicycle lanes and better enforcement of the same would go a long way in making cycling more pleasant in the city.",

        "raw_content": "I attended Sunday Mass yesterday at the Midwest Catholic Family Conference in Wichita, Kansas. The principal celebrant and homilist was Wichita's Bishop Michael O. Jackels. For a second consecutive year, he impressed me as being a good man.\nThe Gospel at Mass was full of powerful imagery. In the miracle story of the five loaves and two fish, Christ calls his apostles (and all of us) to be bold and believing servant leaders.\nWhen Jesus heard of the death of John the Baptist, he withdrew in a boat to a deserted place by himself.\nThe crowds heard of this and followed him on foot from their towns. When he disembarked and saw the vast crowd, his heart was moved with pity for them, and he cured their sick.\nWhen it was evening, the disciples approached him and said, \u201cThis is a deserted place and it is already late; dismiss the crowds so that they can go to the villages and buy food for themselves.\u201d\nJesus said to them, \u201cThere is no need for them to go away; give them some food yourselves.\"\nBut they said to him, \u201cFive loaves and two fish are all we have here.\u201d\nThen he said, \u201cBring them here to me,\u201d and he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass.\nTaking the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he said the blessing, broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, who in turn gave them to the crowds. They all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up the fragments left over \u2014 twelve wicker baskets full. Those who ate were about five thousand men, not counting women and children.",

        "raw_content": "XIV.96\u2011112\nXV.1\u201119\n(Vol. VI) Diodorus Siculus\nBook XIV, 113\u2011117 (end)\np303 113 1 At the time that Dionysius was besieging Rhegium, the Celts1 who had their homes in the regions beyond the Alps streamed through the passes in great strength and seized the territory that lay between the Apennine mountains and the Alps, expelling the Tyrrhenians who dwelt there. 2 These, according to some, were colonists from the twelve cities of Tyrrhenia; but others state that before the Trojan War Pelasgians fled from Thessaly to escape the flood of Deucalion's time and settled in this region. 3 Now it happened, when the Celts divided up the territory by tribes, that those known as the Sennones received the area which lay farthest from the mountains and along the sea. But since this region was scorching hot, they were distressed and eager to move; hence they armed their younger men and p305 sent them out to seek a territory where they might settle. Now they invaded Tyrrhenia, and being in number some thirty thousand they sacked the territory of the Clusini.\n4 At this very time the Roman people sent ambassadors2 into Tyrrhenia to spy out the army of the Celts. The ambassadors arrived at Clusium, and when they saw that a battle had been joined, with more valour than wisdom they joined the men of Clusium against their besiegers, 5 and one3 of the ambassadors was successful in killing a rather important commander. When the Celts learned of this, they dispatched ambassadors to Rome to demand the person of the envoy who had thus commenced an unjust war. 6 The senate at first sought to persuade the envoys of the Celts to accept money in satisfaction of the injury, but when they would not consider this, it voted to surrender the accused. But the father of the man to be surrendered, who was also one of the military tribunes with consular power, appealed the judgement to the people,4 and since he was a man of influence among the masses, he persuaded them to void the decision of the senate. 7 Now in the times previous to this the people had followed the senate in all matters; with this occasion they first began to rescind decisions of that body.\n114 1 The ambassadors of the Celts returned to their camp and reported the reply of the Romans. At this they were greatly angered and, adding an army from their fellow tribesmen, they marched swiftly upon p307 Rome itself, numbering more than seventy thousand men. The military tribunes of the Romans, exercising their special power, when they heard of the advance of the Celts, armed all the men of military age. 2 They then marched out in full force and, crossing the Tiber,5 led their troops for eighty stades along the river; and at news of the approach of the Galatians they drew up the army for battle. 3 Their best troops, to the number of twenty-four thousand, they set in a line from the river as far as the hills and on the highest hills they stationed the weakest. The Celts deployed their troops in a long line and, whether by fortune or design, stationed their choicest troops on the hills. 4 The trumpets on both sides sounded the charge at the same time and the armies joined in battle with great clamour. The \u00e9lite troops of the Celts, who were opposed to the weakest soldiers of the Romans, easily drove them from the hills. 5 Consequently, as these fled in masses to the Romans on the plain, the ranks were thrown into confusion and fled in dismay before the attack of the Celts. Since the bulk of the Romans fled along the river and impeded one another by reason of their disorder, the Celts were not behind-hand in slaying again and again those who were last in line. Hence the entire plain was strewn with dead. 6 Of the men who fled to the river the bravest attempted to swim across with their arms, prizing their armour as highly as their lives; but since the stream ran strong, some of them were borne down to their death p309 by the weight of the arms, and some, after being carried along for some distance, finally and after great effort got off safe. 7 But since the enemy pressed them hard and was making a great slaughter along the river, most of the survivors threw away their arms and swam across the Tiber.\n115 1 The Celts, though they had slain great numbers on the bank of the river, nevertheless did not desist from the zest for glory but showered javelins upon the swimmers; and since many missiles were hurled and men were massed in the river, those who threw did not miss their mark. So it was that some died at once from mortal blows, and others, who were wounded only, were carried off unconscious because of loss of blood and the swift current. 2 When such disaster befell, the greater part of the Romans who escaped occupied the city of Veii, which had lately been razed by them, fortified the place as well as they could, and received the survivors of the rout. A few of those who had swum the river fled without their arms to Rome and reported that the whole army had perished. When word of such misfortunes as we have described was brought to those who had been left behind in the city, everyone fell into despair; 3 for they saw no possibility of resistance, now that all their youth had perished, and to flee with their children and wives was fraught with the greatest danger since the enemy were close at hand. Now many private citizens fled with their households to neighbouring cities, but the city magistrates, encouraging the populace, issued orders for them to bring speedily to the Capitoline grain and every other necessity. p311 4 When this had been done, both the acropolis and the Capitoline were stored not only with supplies of food but with silver and gold and the costliest raiment, since the precious possessions had been gathered from over the whole city into one place. They gathered such valuables as they could and fortified the place we have mentioned during a respite of three days. 5 For the Celts spent the first day cutting off, according to their custom, the heads of the dead.6 And for two days they lay encamped before the city, for when they saw the walls deserted and yet heard the noise made by those who were transferring their most useful possessions to the acropolis, they suspected that the Romans were planning a trap for them. 6 But on the fourth day, after they had learned the true state of affairs, they broke down the gates and pillaged the city except for a few dwellings on the Palatine. After this they delivered daily assaults on strong positions, without, however, inflicting any serious hurt upon their opponents and with the loss of many of their own troops. Nevertheless, they did not relax their ardour, expecting that, even if they did not conquer by force, they would wear down the enemy in the course of time, when the necessities of life had entirely given out.\n116 1 While the Romans were in such throes, the neighbouring Tyrrhenians advanced and made a raid with a strong army on the territory of the Romans, capturing many prisoners and not a small amount of booty. But the Romans who had fled to Veii, falling unexpectedly upon the Tyrrhenians, put them p313 to flight, took back the booty, and captured their camp. 2 Having got possession of arms in abundance, they distributed them among the unarmed, and they also gathered men from the countryside and armed them, since they intended to relieve the siege of the soldiers who had taken refuge on the Capitoline. 3 While they were at a loss how they might reveal their plans to the besieged, since the Celts had surrounded them with strong forces, a certain Cominius Pontius undertook to get the cheerful news to the men on the Capitoline. 4 Starting out alone and swimming the river by night, he got unseen to a cliff of the Capitoline that was hard to climb and, hauling himself up it with difficulty, told the soldiers on the Capitoline about the troops that had been collected in Veii and how they were watching for an opportunity and would attack the Celts. Then, descending by the way he had mounted and swimming the Tiber, he returned to Veii. 5 The Celts, when they observed the tracks of one who had recently climbed up, made plans to ascend at night by the same cliff. Consequently about the middle of the night, while the guards were neglectful of their watch because of the strength of the place, some Celts started an ascent of the cliff. 6 They escaped detection by the guards, but the sacred geese of Hera, which were kept there, noticed the climbers and set up a cackling. The guards rushed to the place and the Celts deterred did not dare proceed farther. A certain Marcus Mallius, a man held in high esteem, rushing to the defence of the place, cut off the hand of the climber with his sword and, striking him on the breast with his shield, rolled him from the cliff. 7 In like manner the second climber p315 met his death, whereupon the rest all quickly turned in flight. But since the cliff was precipitous they were all hurled headlong and perished. As a result of this, when the Romans sent ambassadors to negotiate a peace, they were persuaded, upon receipt of one thousand pounds of gold, to leave the city and to withdraw from Roman territory.\n8 The Romans, now that their houses had been razed to the ground and the majority of their citizens slain, gave permission to anyone who wished to build a home in any place he chose, and supplied him at state expense with roof-tiles; and up to the present time these are known as \"public tiles.\" 9 Since every man naturally built his home where it suited his fancy, the result was that the streets of the city were narrow and crooked; consequently, when the population increased in later days, it was impossible to straighten the streets. Some also say that the Roman matrons, because they contributed their gold ornaments to the common safety, received from the people as a reward the right to ride through the city in chariots.\n117 1 While the Romans were in a weakened condition because of the misfortune we have described, the Volscians went to war against them. Accordingly the Roman military tribunes enrolled soldiers, took the field with their army, and pitched camp on the Campus Martius, as it is called, two hundred stades distant from Rome. 2 Since the Volscians lay over against them with a larger force and were assaulting the camp, the citizens in Rome, fearing for the safety of those in the encampment, appointed Marcus Furius dictator.7 . . . 3 These armed all the men of military p317 age and marched out during the night. At day-break they caught the Volscians as they were assaulting the camp, and appearing on their rear easily put them to flight. When the troops in the camp then sallied forth, the Volscians were caught in the middle and cut down almost to a man. Thus a people that passed for powerful in former days was by this disaster reduced to the weakest among the neighbouring tribes.\n4 After the battle the dictator, on hearing that Bola was being besieged by the Aeculani,8 who are now called the Aequicoli, led forth his troops and slew most of the besieging army. From here he marched to the territory of Sutrium, a Roman colony, which the Tyrrhenians had forcibly occupied. Falling unexpectedly upon the Tyrrhenians, he slew many of them and recovered the city for the people of Sutrium.\n5 The Gauls on their way from Rome laid siege to the city of Veascium which was an ally of the Romans. The dictator attacked them, slew the larger number of them, and got possession of all their baggage, included in which was the gold which they had received for Rome and practically all the booty which they had gathered in the seizure of the city. 6 Despite the accomplishment of such great deeds, envy on the part of the tribunes prevented his celebrating a triumph. There are some, however, who state that he celebrated a triumph for his victory over the Tuscans in a chariot drawn by four white horses, for which the people two years later fined him a large p319 sum of money. But we shall recur to this in the appropriate period of time.9 7 Those Celts who had passed into Iapygia turned back through the territory of the Romans; but soon thereafter the Cerii made a crafty attack on them by night and cut all of them to pieces in the Trausian Plain.\n8 The historian Callisthenes10 began his history with the peace of this year between the Greeks and Artaxerxes, the King of the Persians. His account embraced a period of thirty years in ten Books and he closed the last Book of his history with the seizure of the Temple of Delphi by Philomelus the Phocian. 9 But for our part, since we have arrived at the peace between the Greeks and Artaxerxes, and at the threat to Rome offered by the Gauls, we shall make this the end of this Book, as we proposed at the beginning.11\n1 There are two other extended descriptions of the Gallic invasion of Rome, in Livy, 5.34\u201139 and in Plutarch, Camillus, 16\u201129. The account by Diodorus is by far the most reliable (cp. Beloch, R\u00f6mische Geschichte, pp311 ff.; Schwegler-Baur, 3, pp234 ff.).\n2 Three, all of the Fabian gens.\n3 Quintus Fabius Ambustus.\n4 An instance of the famous provocatio ad populum.\n5 Diodorus is the only ancient writer who places this battle of the Allia on the right, and not the left, bank of the Tiber.\n6 Cp. Book 5.29.4\u20115.\n7 The famous Marcus Furius Camillus. The name of his master of horse, C. Servilius Ahala (Livy, 6.2.5\u20116), has slipped from the text.\n8 Otherwise the Aequi.\n9 There is no later mention of this story.\n10 Callisthenes of Olynthus was better known for his history of Alexander the Great, whom he accompanied on his campaign until he lost the king's favour and was executed shortly after 327 B.C.\n11 Cp. chap. 2.4.",

        "raw_content": "One of the things I like to do most in this world is write computer software. I tell interviewers that when I\u2019m seeking a job. I spend a lot of time writing software both on the job (it\u2019s a large part of my job after all) and off the job. Not too long ago I read some advice for job seekers about having a \u201cpassion project\u201d. It wasn\u2019t the first time I\u2019ve seen that advice.I\u2019ve got several such projects that I\u2019ve been working on over the years. I\u2019ve written many times about the simulated computers I\u2019ve written and continue to write. I\u2019ve written too about the blogging platform that I wrote and used for my personal blog several years ago. I no longer use that platform, finding it easier to keep up with what little blogging I do using WordPress, but I wrote the platform and made sure it was compatible with various tools for blogging.\nI\u2019ve also worked on several other types of projects, which I haven\u2019t written about. I\u2019ll probably be posting something about them all in the next several weeks. After all, I spent time on them, so why not talk about them? I\u2019ll also be making the source code for all of them publicly available . Maybe some of it will be useful to other people, maybe it won\u2019t.\nSo, what sort of things have I worked on for my own entertainment, or\u2026 at least that weren\u2019t directly related to my job? Other than the blogging platform and the simulated computers? Well, how about these?\nA menu driven financial formula calculator that I wrote in B.A.S.I.C. the first and only time I ever took a course related to computer programming.\nAn algebraic calculator that I wrote in Turbo Pascal during the 1980s using a rudimentary recursive descent parser.\nA text-based adventure game that I coded (I didn\u2019t write this one, I just entered the code and made changes from UCSD Pascal to Turbo Pascal) based on the example in the book \u201cProgramming Your Own Adventure Games in Pascal\u201d.\nA data-layer generator that used several MS-SQL system stored procedures to read a database schema and create source code for a library that allowed object oriented access to the objects in the database.\nA repository model for accessing databases using ADO.NET providing a simple, testable object oriented mechanism for reading and writing objects in a SQL database.\n\u201cScreen scrapers\u201d that were used to read various HTML report screens in the (no defunct) online game \u201cBlogshares\u201d and produce Excel spreadsheets and analyses of player portfolios and team portfolios.\nAn online logbook for drag racing.\nA weather forecasting web site. This was a mash-up of Microsoft\u2019s Terradata services and the National Weather Service\u2019s forecasting database, as well as a zip-code database providing geographic locations for zip codes. Enter a zip code and it would give you the five-day forecast for that zip code from the National Weather service.\nA text based adventure gaming engine with a GUI scenario generator and two different programs to run the adventures \u2013 one a classic console game running using .NET Core 2.0 and the other using a Windows Forms interface \u2013 with a web based interface coming too.\nThese are all projects I\u2019ve worked on, or am currently working on. This stuff is fun for me. I\u2019ve also got a few projects in the works that I\u2019m collaborating on with some past and present co-workers. I\u2019ll be getting back to those fairly soon.\nWhat\u2019s the point of all of this? It\u2019s not to impress potential interviewers. Like I said at the start, I do this stuff for fun. A youth pastor once told me that the secret to happiness in life was to find something you enjoy doing and figure out how to get someone to pay you for it. He was wrong about that, there\u2019s another secret to true happiness, but by his measure, I\u2019m happy.\nPrevious Post:Don\u2019t Worry, It\u2019s Only Ones and Zeros\nNext Post:He is risen\nI used to enjoy assembling, tweaking (even sometimes with my now less-than-excellent soldering skills), and otherwise enhancing various electronics projects, including computers, largely because I enjoy hands-on stuff. woodworking and auto mechanicking have also been fun interests. Now, I mostly enjoy puttering (and a bit more) around the house (flooring project in the works requiring a few furniture builds, all-new molding, and including a semi-minor kitchen rehab, etc.) and yard (those trees I need to take out. . . yes there are still a couple heh).\nKinda back to \u201chands-on basics\u201d for me of late.",

        "raw_content": "Cannabismedical.com Review:\nCannabis Medical - Cannabis Medical Wellness Center\nMark Limke - Terrific book. Just buy it.\nI'm just a dallier in video, but hate to do anything badly. This book, under $10 in Kindle, is a no-brainer purchase. It gave me a sense of confidence that I could make, well, videos that don't suck, and that feeling was just what I needed.\nTbe book has so much common sense, stuff you could just figure out on your own if you thought it through and had a passion for the subject. But like most of us, my brain is wired for expertise in some other area. So having Steve spell it out and talk me through it was just immensely helpful.\nI read his tips, and the clear explanations, and then exclaim, \"of course!\" Exactly what I needed, someone to just show me the obvious stuff that I didn't have words for. Thank you, Steve. I hope you write more sometime, you do a good job.\nKevin J. McCarthy - wife loves it\nBought this for my wife for Christmas, and she absolutely loves it. Nearly as good as a tablet PC, amazing\nkattichic - Great mix of mystery and thriller\nThis is only my second book to read by Ted Dekker. I was very disappointed with the first one I read which was Immanuel's Veins. It almost made me not read Kiss but I am now glad that I did. Kiss is a great mix of mystery, romance and even a little thriller. I won't bore you with a synopsis but I will say that if you enjoy a good \"who done it\" book, you will enjoy this one. It is a christian book but not so much that you feel overwhelmed with biblical verse or prayer. I tend to be leary when I read christian books because a lot tend to focus on getting everyone in the story and the reader saved. So much so that by the end everyone loves everybody and everyone's forgiven and alls right with the world. Not that I think there is anything wrong with that! I just prefer to read something a little more along the lines of normal human behavior. In Kiss not everyone is a good person and it doens't try and hide the fact that there are bad people in the world who do horrible things. One of my main problems with Immanuel's Veins was how extremely sensual the relationships were. That doesn't happen in this book. Simply put this is a good clean book that anyone can enjoy.\nWould-RVM245 \"would245\" - The best they can do without Roger\nAs a follow-up effort to the extremely lackluster Momentary Lapse of Reason, I really didn't expect much from the Division Bell. However, the remaining members of the band returned from thier 7+ year hiatus with a pretty good album. The music is typical Floyd, spacey and intricate with plenty of great melodic ideas that would have fit in perfect somewhere between Meddle and Dark Side of the Moon. The area where this album really misses the mark is in the lyrics (Read: Please come back Roger). There is an overall theme throughout the album, but it seems extremely forced and a little fake. It is almost like David Gilmour is trying to be as much like Waters as a lyricist, and the shoe just doesn't fit. Lyrics have never been Dave's strong suit, and even with the help of outside collaborators (including Gilmour's wife) the bitterness and overall feeling in the lyrics fails to even come close to the worst stuff that Roger has ever done.\nMusically though, The Division Bell shows that the band hasn't lost the ability to write a great song. Gilmour's guitar work is as good as it has ever been, especially on the instrumental \"Marooned\". In fact, I think this album better serves as a vehicle for Gilmour's playing and probably would have worked better if they just had Dave solo over the entire thing. Despite all of the negatives, this is still a great album. It just pales in comparison to anything that Roger has been involved in (both as Pink Floyd and as a solo artist.)",

        "raw_content": "H14. Coal\nQ: How was coal used for aids to navigation?\nThe choice of fuel for use in a light source was generally determined by its availability. For centuries, coal has been used as a fuel for lighthouses, in those locations that could be most easily supplied. One of the earliest lighthouses that used coal was at Newcastle-upon-Tyne which was located close to a coalfield. The physical effort involved in shipping the coal to the lighthouse site, together with the effort expended in getting it to the top of a tower, if there was one, can not be overstated.\nCoal was often contained in a metal holder called a brazier of chauffer and raised to a given height above the surrounding area to give it increased visibility over the sea. An original example of a coal chauffer can still be found in the botanical gardens on the island of Tresco in the Isles of Scilly, England. This chauffer was used from 1680 onwards in the old lighthouse known as Scilly, which is today a private house on the island of St. Agnes.\nCoal fires were originally used on headlands and, over the years, would have been refined by the use of improved containers to allow the coal to burn more efficiently, i.e. with more light emitted per given quantity of fuel and with less smoke. This latter is always a problem because it obscures the light and creates soot which causes other disruption. Later, fires were enclosed inside structures made of arrays of panes of glass, called lanterns. Unfortunately, unless great efforts were made to control the smoke, the glass was frequently coated in soot which reduced the visibility of the fires.\nThere are many examples of lighthouse towers standing today which were used for coal fires in earlier times. The old tower at Skagen is a beautifully preserved example, as also is the lighthouse at Falsterbo in Sweden and the towers at North Foreland and Lizard Point in England.\nWooden lever-arm arrangements were constructed to elevate coal braziers. These were called swape lights or vippefyr, and such a device was used at Spurn Point. Because of their nature, there are no known examples of these old lights in existence today, but replicas of vippefyr can be found in Denmark and Sweden.\nThe following additional information is provided with the help of sources quoted.\nGas works were common at one time, especially in Ireland where John R. Wigham, the great advocate of gas, had met with some success. At Baily and Wicklow Head many of the associated buildings and yards remain, but none is in use and no apparatus survives. A great deal of coal was needed for the preparation of gas and this entailed the making of good roads which were costly to build and maintain. [Hague, 1974, p111]\nFunnels were used to great advantage in coal fires where a draught to a grate could increase the light efficiency. The fire burned hotter, brighter and with less smoke.\nThe vippefyr at Skagen, Denmark\nPederson Groves in Denmark invented the lever light, also known as a swape light or vippefyr in 1625. A basket containing burning coals is raised to a height of 4 to 10 m above the ground or on top of a tower.\nThe consumption of coal varied depending upon whether the fire was enclosed or not, upon the weather, and upon the number of hours of darkness that the fire was lit. Additionally, it depended upon the skill of the keeper in maintaining his fire. Amounts used (tons per annum) were as follows: Isle of May (1799) 350-400; Isle of May (1786) 200; Cumbrae (after 1761) 180; Cumbrae (before 1761) 160; Kullen (1791) 112; Scilly 107; North and South Forelands (1698) 100 each; Kullen (1793) 61; Lowestoft 40; Frehel 31. These amounts include coal used by the keepers for their own cooking and heating, which might be 10 tons per annum.\nAt Cumbrae, the light was 404 feet (130 m) above sea level and all coal was shipped to the island in the Firth of Clyde and raised through that height to create the light. Deliveries were by cart, each carrying about 9 cwt. From 1757, an average of 310 cart loads were required per annum, equivalent to about 160 tons. This rose to an average of 400 cart loads per annum in 1793, equivalent to 180 tons.\nWhen Robert Stevenson visited St. Bees and Skerries in 1801, the keepers informed him that they used 130 and 150 tons per annum respectively. The open grate supplied for the Isle of May after 1786 burned up to 400 tons per annum, which seems to have been a maximum; 366 tons were brought to the island in 1799. During one particular stormy night, three tons were burnt requiring the unceasing attention of all three keepers.\nCoal fires were sometimes enclosed in glazing and gave a smaller but steadier glow. They consumed less coal and were altogether easier for the keepers to maintain. Of the 21 coal fires in Britain in 1760, nine were enclosed. Enclosing coal fires did not always provide a satisfactory result for all. Fires at the North and South Forelands were enclosed in 1719, but complaints from seamen led to the removal of the glazing in 1730. Sailors remembered the good blaze from the open fires as being more conspicuous than the steady, but lesser blaze from the enclosed fires.\n1500 After 1500, coal became increasingly used in Europe and was found to be better than wood in being more compact, burning longer and requiring less attention from the keepers. Coal was used far more extensively in north-west Europe where it was more readily available. In the Mediterranean, candles and oil lamps were favoured, coal being too expensive. For example, Tynemouth, the earliest British lighthouse of value to shipping was situated adjacent to a coal field. It was natural to use coal when the lighthouse was established in 1550. Similarly, coal fields were close to the Isle of May lighthouse in Scotland when it was set up in 1636.\n1581 Reference is made to the burning of coal on a turret at the east end of the priory church at Tynemouth in 1581, although it is almost certain that this was done well before that year. It was rebuilt in 1664 at the north-east corner of the castle. [Hague, 1975, p17]\n1581 It is known that the earliest of a succession of lights displayed at Tynemouth was of coal burnt upon a turret at the east end of the priory church. In 1581 it was referred to as having been established 'in former times'. It was rebuilt in 1664 at the north-east corner of the castle. [Hague, 1975]\n1600 In Britain, the use of coal fires in major navigation lights was 1 out of 1 existing in 1600, 12 out of 15 existing in 1700, and 21 out of 26 existing in 1760. This excluded the Eddystone and two lightships which could not have had coal fires and were lit by candles or oil. Of the 21 lighthouses in 1760, ten of these had additional lights, of which five were coal and five were oil or candle lights. At the Casquets, there were three coal fires, the only lighthouse of its kind to use three lights. St Bees was the last lighthouse in Britain to use coal, being converted in 1823.\nArtist's impression of the 16th c. lighthouse at Tynemouth\n1600 Only one major navigational light exists at this time in Britain, a coal fire adjacent to the coal fields of Tynemouth. Stevenson, 1959, p2731600 Only one major navigational light exists at this time in Britain, a coal fire adjacent to the coal fields of Tynemouth. [Stevenson, 1959, p273]\n1636 This was the first Scottish lighthouse is built on the Isle of May. The Scots Council grant a patent for the building of a lighthouse on the Isle to James Maxwell and John and Alexander Cunningham for 19 years at a rental of one thousand pounds \"in coin of this realm\" equalling \u00a384 sterling. The tower was built the same year. This was to be a famous coal-burning lighthouse for 180 years during the period from 1636 to 1818. The original structure still stands. [Stevenson, 1959, p37; Munro, pp25-38 124]\n1727 Metal plates for use as mirrors were used by Bitry with a coal fire at Cordouan in 1727, but, although they may have improved the light intensity slightly, the problem with soot deposition probably rendered them totally ineffective after a short time.\n1727 The first idea of economising light, by the means of reflectors, is met with in the history of the Cordouan light. M. Bitri, who remodelled the lantern in 1727, arranged it for burning pit coal, of which 225 lbs. (French) were ignited at once, and lasted the night. Above the fire, instead of having a hollow cupola, as it had previously been, or of being entirely open like other Lighthouses, the circle of the ceiling of the cupola was made the base of an inverted cone, whose apex projected downwards three feet; the whole surface of this was covered with tin plates. These becoming reflecting surfaces, served to increase the intensity of the light; but how they were kept free from tarnish, and the effects of the smoke, we are not informed. Here we have the first element of the reflector system, and it is virtually the principle of the present Bordier-Marcet apparatus. Such an arrangement would certainly answer its requirements as applied to a coal fire, and any improvement on it must be also made in conjunction with some better mode of producing a light. [Findlay, 1862, Ch. III]\n1753 The traders in Turku in Finland, then Swedish territory, introduced a novelty in lighting when in 1753 they established a lighthouse at Uto at the north entrance to the Gulf of Finland. This islet lies on the southern edge of the extensive archipelago of the Aland islands. The tower, 24 feet high and shaped like a cone, was constructed of quarried stones and boulders and bore a glazed lantern. A pole projecting from the side of the tower carried an iron bucket which, every night, burned coals continuously in the open air. This formed the main fire and it was visible round the sea horizon. The lantern contained a subsidiary light consisting of a cluster of candles and a screen or reflector which was turned abruptly by hand every 15 minutes to light first one and then the other of two navigable channels 15 feet apart. Thus, alternately, ships in one channel saw this subsidiary light while those in the other channel could not see it. A few years after erection of the tower, the light in the lantern was described as coming from 6 lamps each with 2 wicks, hanging from the ceiling, with 4 tinned mirrors behind. The benefit of the arrangement to occult the light lay in economy of oil and not in distinction from other lighthouses. Though the screen or reflector cost 8oo out of the total capital expenditure of 19,280 silver thalers, the apparatus is stated to have been extremely primitive and unpractical. But interest arises from its being an early instance of occulting a sea-light. [Stevenson, 1959, p48]\n1774 Before choosing an illuminant for the new lighthouses in Normandy, the Rouen Chamber of Commerce carried out comparative tests of an open coal fire, a spherical metal reflector from Sangrain and a parabolic reflector from Hutchinson, and made trials of French, Spanish and British coals. An open fire from British coal appeared to be best suited to the requirements and probably was the right choice from the three alternatives but it led to 5 years of trouble for the Chamber. [Stevenson, 1959, p52]\n1774 A test is carried out to compare a coal fire with an oil light fitted with a parabolic reflector by Hutchinson. The coal fire was preferred because at that time the oil lamp was too focussed and could not illuminate a big enough part of the horizon. [Stevenson, 1959, p273]\n1776 For 80 years the coal swape lights at the Spurn satisfied seamen making the entrance to the Humber, but by 1766 the sands in the estuary had shifted so much that the navigable channel was far distant from the lights. John Angell, a relative of the first patentee, declined to move them and shut himself in his house and refused to discuss the problem. But his partner Leonard Thompson, who had a quarter-share in the ownership, agreed to Trinity House promoting an Act of Parliament to authorise the building of lighthouses in better positions. When the Act was obtained, Trinity House instructed John Smeaton to visit Spurn Point. On his recommendation, two temporary lights, 250 yards apart, were erected in 1767, both swapes as before, with the coal buckets hoisted 50' and 35' above ground level. A paved path 3' wide with a handrail at each side guided the keepers when passing between them at night. To provide for a possible further shifting of the sands, the larger temporary swape was set on rollers so that it could be moved according as the navigable channel shifted. On 5th September 1776 his two brick towers 90' and 50' high which had been capped by 'inclosed lanterns for fire lights' were lighted. The novel design of their grates, good ventilation of the lanterns and excellent means for raising coals and removing cinders would justify a claim that they were the first scientific coal-burning lighthouses. The chief improvement, as described in Section XVI, consisted of a shallow grate with a controlled supply of air which kept the layer of coals at a whiter or more luminous heat than had been achieved previously with coal fires, but it is likely that the small-capacity grate required too continuous an attendance by the lightkeepers. Not until July 1819 were these two coal fires replaced by oil lamps and parabolic reflectors. Smeaton recorded that his new lighthouses on their first exhibition gave 'an amazing light to the entire satisfaction of all beholders' and that 'vessels going round the Point in a dark night have the shades of their masts and ropes cast upon their decks'. [Stevenson, 1959, p53]\nAn image of the old lantern at Spurn Point\n1776 Smeaton used a funnel to provide a draught with the coal fire in an enclosed lantern at Spurn Point in 1776.\n1782 Obtaining coal and transporting it by sea to the rocky shelves of Cordouan had always been troublesome and by 1780 had become extremely expensive. The Government Departments in Paris welcomed the economy achieved from replacing coal fires by spherical reflectors and oil lamps at the lighthouse of St. Mathieu and at those in Normandy, and invited Tortille Sangrain to visit Cordouan and state his price for replacing its coal fire by a reflector light. His tender was accepted and, accordingly, Bitry's open lantern of 1727 was removed and a new metal lantern, completely glazed, to hold no fewer than So tiny silvered spherical reflectors each with an oil lamp was set on top of the tower. The light was exhibited in November 1782 and was condemned at once by seamen who complained of its poor visibility. The keepers also had difficulty in attending to the multitude of smoky lamps. As described in Section XII Joseph Teulere one of the engineers at the fortress of Bordeaux who had charge of Cordouan, was directed from Paris to examine the new light; he pointed out its defects to Sangrain who fitted larger spherical reflectors, but the seamen remained dissatisfied and demanded a return to the coal fire. Their objections were well-founded: the spherical reflectors did little more than obstruct the light from the lamps but were nevertheless retained until 1790 when a better light could be procured. [Stevenson, 1959, p61]\n1787 A similar type of light to that of Groves was designed and built by Smeaton to replace one already in use at Spurn Point in 1787. True to form, Smeaton added his own novel design features such as a small umbrella to protect the rope from falling cinders. He found that with a well balanced beam the operation of filling the bucket with a shovelful of coals ad hoisting it could be carried out in a few minutes and eased the keepers work.\n1788 Commencing in 1788, Anders Polheimer, who had interests in coal-mining, investigated the operation of the coal-burning Swedish lighthouses of Nidingen, Kullen, Falsterbo and Gronskar, and then devised a new form of grate which he fitted first at Kullen in the summer of 1792. He left it open to the air, as was usual in Sweden, but he provided that the light-keeper could regulate the fire in the grate by means of a door set in the space between the walls. When this was opened a strong draught passing upwards through a pipe induced a brighter and more uniform blaze from the coals. Before and after installing the new grate the keepers at Kullen recorded nightly the quantity of coals burned, the weather conditions and the direction and force of the wind. The records revealed that the economy resulting from the alteration was merely proportional to the reduction in the size of the grate, but seamen enjoyed a better beacon fire. [Stevenson, 1959, p70]\n1790 Mirrors were of little value with coal fires, although they were known to be used at Harwich high lighthouse, where, between 1790 and 1809 metal plates were set behind the open coal fire.\n1800 Assuming that a ton of coal was equivalent to 45 cubic feet, in December 1800 the keepers had to place 4 cwts of coal in the grate every hour. The grate had a diameter of 3 ft 6 ins (1.1 m) and a depth of 2 ft (0.6 m). It was raised on legs on the top of the tower and burned without roof or screen every night of the year. It is easy to imagine how hard the work was for the keepers. Large quantities of heavy coal had to transported about, loaded on and off boats, transported along rough cart tracks and across bogs. Finally came the work in raising the coal to the height necessary to burn it.\n1800 Funnels were used to provide draughts for coal fires at Danish, Swedish and Norwegian lighthouses after 1800. All these lighthouses had enclosed lanterns.\nA section through the coal-burning tower at the Isle of May\n1814 Sir Walter Scott and Robert Louis Stevenson visited the Isle of May light and were told that the light from the coal fire was visible in a strong wind only from one side of the island. [Stevenson, 1959, p281]\n1820 Gas obtained from coal was considered possible for use as a fuel for light sources in lighthouses around 1820. However, plans to manufacture the coal gas at the site of the lighthouse were not executed. coal still had to be transported and it was necessary to install plant to make the gas and to give the keepers skills in its operation. It was felt that there was no advantage to be gained in doing this in this way at this time.\n1820 Gas obtained from coal was considered possible for use as a fuel for light sources in lighthouses.

In Britain they were used till 1823. Thus the Isle of May Lighthouse, at the entrance of the Firth of Forth, had a coal fire till 1810; at St. Bees Head, Cumberland, oil was first used in 1823; at the Flatholm, Bristol Channel, in 1820, &c. [Findlay, 1862, Ch. III]\n1846 It is stated that a coal fire is still used on the Gronskar Lighthouse, East coast of Sweden. They were in operation on the two towers of Nidingen, in the Cattegat, till 1846. [Findlay, 1862, Ch. III]\n1854 All coal burning lighthouses in Sweden were discontinued.

This conference will explain how we can enjoy these securities as the residents of Canada and all other industrialized nations do. In Oregon, even after the expansion of coverage through OHP and Cover Oregon, there will still be many without insurance or with inadequate insurance in the case of a serious illness. There is a way out of this: single payer/universal health care. Come to a free conference that will reveal how it is affordable and achievable and will benefit all Oregonians.

        "title": "The Most Useful Invention Of Science Essay. Greatest Invention Essays - 1024 Words | Bartleby",
        "raw_content": "A competition sponsored in 1913 by Scientific American asked for essays on the 10 greatest inventions. The rules: \u201cour time\u201d meant the previous quarter century, 1888 to 1913; the invention had to be patentable and was considered to date from its \u201ccommercial introduction.\u201d\nPerception is at the heart of this question. Inventions are most salient when we can see the historical changes they cause. In 2013 we might not appreciate the work of Nikola Tesla or Thomas Edison on a daily basis, as we are accustomed to electricity in all its forms, but we are very impressed by the societal changes caused by the Internet and the World Wide Web (both of which run on alternating-current electricity, by the way). A century from now they might be curious as to what all the fuss was about. The answers from 1913 thus provide a snapshot of the perceptions of the time.\nThe airplane: The Wright Flyer for military purposes, being demonstrated at Fort Myer, Va., in 1908. Image: Scientific American - November 1, 1913\nFollowing are excerpts from the first- and second-prize essays, along with a statistical tally of all the entries that were sent in.\nThe first-prize essay was written by William I. Wyman, who worked in the U.S. Patent Office in Washington, D.C., and was thus well informed on the progress of inventions. His list was:\n1. The electric furnace (1889) It was \u201cthe only means for commercially producing Carborundum (the hardest of all manufactured substances).\u201d The electric furnace also converted aluminum \u201cfrom a merely precious to very useful metal\u201d (by reducing it\u2019s price 98 percent), and was \u201cradically transforming the steel industry.\u201d\n2. The steam turbine, invented by Charles Parsons in 1884 and commercially introduced over the next 10 years. A huge improvement in powering ships, the more far-reaching use of this invention was to drive generators that produced electricity.\n3. The gasoline-powered automobile. Many inventors worked toward the goal of a \u201cself-propelled\u201d vehicle in the 19th century. Wyman gave the honor specifically to Gottleib Daimler for his 1889 engine, arguing: \u201ca century's insistent but unsuccessful endeavor to provide a practical self-propelled car proves that the success of any type that once answered requirements would be immediate. Such success did come with the advent of the Daimler motor, and not before.\u201d\n4. The moving picture. Entertainment always will be important to people. \u201cThe moving picture has transformed the amusements of the multitude.\u201d The technical pioneer he cited was Thomas Edison.\n5. The airplane. For \u201cthe Realization of an age-long dream\u201d he gave the laurels of success to the Wright brothers, but apart from its military use reserved judgment on the utility of the invention: \u201cIt presents the least commercial utility of all the inventions considered.\u201d\n6. Wireless Telegraphy. Systems for transmitting information between people have been around for centuries, perhaps millennia. Telegraph signals got a speed boost in the U.S. from Samuel Morse and Alfred Vail. Wireless telegraphy as invented by Guglielmo Marconi, later evolving into radio, set information free from wires.\n7. The cyanide process. Sounds toxic, yes? It appears on this list for only one reason: It is used to extract gold from ore. \u201cGold is the life blood of trade,\u201d and in 1913 it was considered to be the foundation for international commerce and national currencies.\n8. The Nikola Tesla induction motor. \u201cThis epoch-making invention is mainly responsible for the present large and increasing use of electricity in the industries.\u201d Before people had electricity in their homes, the alternating current\u2013producing motor constructed by Tesla supplied 90 percent of the electricity used by manufacturing.\n9. The Linotype machine. The Linotype machine enabled publishers\u2014largely newspapers\u2014to compose text and print it much faster and cheaper. It was an advance as large as the invention of the printing press itself was over the painstaking handwritten scrolls before it. Pretty soon we won\u2019t be using paper for writing and reading, so the history of printing will be forgotten anyway.\n10. The electric welding process of Elihu Thomson. In the era of mass production, the electric welding process enabled faster production and construction of better, more intricate machines for that manufacturing process.\nThe electric welder invented by Elihu Thomson enabled the cheaper production of intricate welded machinery. Image: Scientific American - November 1, 1913\nThe turbine invented by Charles Parsons powered ships. Assembled in numbers, they provided an efficient means of driving electrical generators and producing that most useful commodity. Image: Scientific American - November 1, 1913\nThe second-prize essay, by George M. Dowe, also of Washington, D.C., who may have been a patent attorney, was more philosophical. He divided his inventions into those aiding three broad sectors: production, transportation and communication.\n1. Electrical fixation of atmospheric nitrogen. As natural fertilizer sources were depleted during the 19th century, artificial fertilizers enabled the further expansion of agriculture.\n2. Preservation of sugar-producing plants. George W. McMullen of Chicago is credited with the discovery of a method for drying sugar cane and sugar beets for transport. Sugar production became more efficient and its supply increased by leaps and bounds, like a kid on a \u201csugar buzz.\u201d Maybe this is one invention we could have done without. But I digress.\n3. High-speed steel alloys. By adding tungsten to steel, \u201ctools so made were able to cut at such a speed that they became almost red hot without losing either their temper or their cutting edge\u201d The increase in the efficiency of cutting machines was \u201cnothing short of revolutionary.\u201d\n4. Tungsten-filament lamp. Another success of chemistry. After tungsten replaced carbon in its filament, the lightbulb was considered \u201cperfected.\u201d As of 2013 they are being phased out worldwide in favor of compact fluorescent bulbs, which are four times as efficient.\n5. The airplane. Not yet in wide use as transportation in 1913, but \u201cTo [Samuel] Langley and to the Wright brothers must be awarded the chief honors in the attainment of mechanical flight.\u201d In 2013 the annoying aspects of commercial airline flying make transportation by horse and buggy seem a viable alternative.\n6. The steam turbine. As with Mr. Wyman, the turbine deserved credit not only \u201cin the utilization of steam as a prime mover\u201d but in its use in the \u201cgeneration of electricity.\u201d\n7. Internal combustion engine. As a means of transportation, Dowe gives the greatest credit to \u201cDaimler, Ford and Duryea.\u201d Gottleib Daimler is a well-known pioneer in motor vehicles. Henry Ford began production of the Model T in 1908 and it was quite popular by 1913. Charles Duryea made one of the earliest commercially successful petrol-driven vehicles, starting in 1896.\n8. The pneumatic tire. Cars for personal transportation were an improvement on railways. \u201cWhat the track has done for the locomotive, the pneumatic tire has done for the vehicle not confined to tracks.\u201d Credit is given to John Dunlop and William C. Bartlet, who each had a milestone on the road (pun intended) to successful automobile and bicycle tires.\n9. Wireless communication. Marconi was given the credit for making wireless \u201ccommercially practical.\u201d Dowe also makes a comment that could apply equally to the rise of the World Wide Web, stating that wireless was \u201cdevised to meet the needs of commerce primarily, but incidentally they have contributed to social intercourse.\u201d\n10. Composing machines. The giant rotary press was quite capable of churning out masses of printed material. The bottleneck in the chain of production was composing the printing plates. The Linotype and the Monotype dispensed with that bottleneck.\nThe essays sent in were compiled to come up with a master list of inventions that were considered to be the top 10. Wireless telegraphy was on almost everyone\u2019s list. The \u201caeroplane\u201d came in second, although it was considered important because of its potential, not because there were so many airplanes in the sky. Here are the rest of the results:\nWireless telegraphy 97 percent\nAeroplane 75\nX-Ray machine 74\nMotion pictures 63\nReinforced concrete 37\nPhonograph 37\nIncandescent electric lamp 35\nSteam turbine 34\nElectric car 34\nCalculating machine 33\nInternal combustion engine 33\nSubmarine boats 24\nPicture telegraphy 24\nElectric furnace 21\nColor photography 17\nDictograph 16\nComposing machine 15\nTransmitting and transforming AC current 15\nPneumatic tire (car and bicycle) 15\nDirigible (airships) 13\nPhotoengraving 13\nTungsten lightbulb 11\nElectric welding 10\nHigh-speed steel 10\nKodak portable camera 10\nFixation of nitrogen 9\nWelsbach gas burner 9\nProducer gas [a type of fuel] 8\nMonorail 8\nFlexible photo films 7\nLiquid air 7\nThere were also mentions for Luther Burbank's agricultural work (23); Louis Pasteur and vaccination work (20); acetylene gas from carbide (17); mercury-vapor lamp (7); preservation of sugar-producing plants (7); combined motion picture and talking machine (10); Edison's storage battery (6); automatic player piano (4); Pulmotor (a respirator machine) (4); telephone (4).\nThe motion picture: The hard-working Thomas Edison helped make this entertainment form technically viable. Image: Scientific American - November 1, 1913\nThe full contents of all the prize-winning essays is available with a subscription to the Scientific American archives.\nIntroduction: Today science is advancing at an amazing speed and everything of our life has changed beyond recognition. It constitutes an attempt to conquer the forces of nature and aims to give man increasing power over his surroundings.\nScience in daily life: In the daily life of a man science is visible. For instance, he can now travel much faster and more comfortably than in the past. Bullock carts in villages and horse carriages in town are being replaced by tractors, trucks auto-carriages in and cars.\nInvention of steam engine revolutionized travel. Then came the sensational invention of aero-planes.\nSimilarly, quick means of communication have brought the peoples of the world together. We can talk to any person through telephone and mobiles. Electronic mail (email) has made the transmission of any message across internet to any person in this world.\nFurther, it has made the use of radio both as a means of information and recreation. In times of distress, wireless telegraphy renders extraordinary service. A plane or ship in danger can at once contact on wireless the nearest aerodrome or port and get timely help.\nAlso read: Importance of Science in Our Daily Life\nInventions of Science: The invention of television is one of the most important event in human history. It enables men to see peoples, images thousands of miles away from them.\nCinematography is also a unique gift of science. The talkies have definitely taken the place of the theatre and a large scale cinema industry has sprung up.\nThe trade and commerce have got a new life by the establishment of huge industrial plants. One may feel surprised if one sees how modern factories and mills run and how their products are exported to every corner of the world.\nContribution to our health and wellness: The invention of medicines for severe diseases is a significant contribution of Science in the field of health and wellness. Plague, small-pox, cholera, leprosy, typhoid and even tuberculosis are no long terrible disease now.\nHuman body has been thoroughly studied and most of the diseases are controlled by life-giving medicines and miraculous surgery. Plastic surgery can make an ugly woman a beautiful lady.\nAlso read: Paragraph on Wonders of Science\nDemerits: But there is another side of the picture too. What science gives by one hand if takes away by another. For example, the invention of machinery and large scale production has resulted in insanitary living conditions, unfair distribution of wealth, strikes and unemployment.\nThe invention of atomic and hydrogen bombs has threatened the peace of the world. It is due to science that today man is so much lost in materialistic welfare.\nConclusion: Thus, the importance of science in our life cannot be denied. However, it should be used with care and caution. It should only be used for the welfare of humanity.\nCategory: Essays, Paragraphs and ArticlesTagged With: Science and Technology\nTransition Into Practice Nursing Essay\nShort Essay In Hindi On Diwali Greeting\nPersonal Statement Cv First Job Chris\nSample Cover Letter For Internship Pdf To Jpg\nPrison Essay Introduction",

        "raw_content": "All Singaporean poets write airplane poems. Taxiing, taking off, landing \u2013 air travel as metaphor has a way of drawing out the lyrical in the Singaporean soul. Boey Kim Cheng, Alvin Pang, Toh Hsien Min, Cyril Wong, Yong Shu Hoong\u2026 They've all written airplane poems. Good ones, too. I said this once to a poet friend, and years later, after he had moved from Singapore to New York City and obtained his green card, he wrote a poem about airplane poems, and dedicated it to me. Now the cadences of his words sing and echo in the words set down here.\nPerhaps our obsession with air travel is only to be expected. We are a nation of immigrants \u2013 the blood that flows in our veins has its sources elsewhere, in China, India, Saudi Arabia, England, Portugal, Armenia\u2026 Our very existence as a city is predicated on movement, transit and exchange: established as a trading port by the East India Company in 1819, Singapore has long served as a gateway between East and West, a little red dot on the map, situated at the tip of the Malay Peninsula enroute between China and India. The British clearly knew a good thing when they saw it: they laid claim to this island, taking possession of it by some clever sleight-of-hand and leaving the poor Malay Sultan who originally owned it thinking he had gotten himself a good bargain. The rest, as they say, is history. Whatever that means.\nMaybe our origins explain our restlessness, the way people book their annual leave months in advance to attend the annual NATAS travel fair where they can get cheap deals on tour packages to anywhere-but-here. One of the things we are best known for is our airport \u2013 voted the World's Best Airport by a hundred travel magazines a hundred years in a row, Changi Airport is a veritable city within a city, boasting all manner of entertainments and luxuries designed to make your travel experience as seamless, and as unreal, as possible. Singapore may possibly be the only country in the world where locals treat the airport like a neighbourhood shopping mall \u2013 the tax-free shopping means that, on weekends, Changi is flooded with Singaporeans doing their groceries at NTUC, eating out with friends and family at the 24-hour food courts. We love our airport. Even in stasis, movement is never far from our minds.\nSingaporean that I am, I've been tripping the light fantastic across airports from Taipei to San Francisco, and now I'm here, in the heart of hipster-land, on a summer writing programme at the University of California, Berkeley. I did not come here to think about my country. Far from it. Being in a foreign place can be an all-consuming experience even in the most quotidian of ways \u2013 adjusting to a different accent, figuring out the currency, learning to look left instead of right when crossing the road \u2013 and I came here to be consumed, to let strangeness jolt me to wakefulness. I want to see if writing can be a home for me, away from the parochial demands and crowded insistences of a city-state so small a commercial jet can fly over the entire length of it in just over three minutes. I want to see if I can make a home in the anywhere-but-here, or at least cobble together some makeshift abode in a place where not feeling at home will not \u2013 cannot \u2013 disappoint.\nBut sometimes the things we most wish to avoid are also the things we most need to confront. Three days into the programme, we are asked to write about our hometowns, and I draw a blank. The same thing happens when a friend asks me, What is your favourite place in Singapore? I wait for some image, any image, to surface in my mind, but nothing comes. It's a coolness, an emotionlessness that troubles me without really being a surprise. I had not been thinking about it, had not realised that things had gone so far.\nWhat things? Things.\nThe land was ours before we were the land's\u2026 My first encounter with Robert Frost's 'The Gift Outright', back in my teens, took place without any knowledge of the poem's historical context. But I loved the cryptic first line for the way it sounded, and I still haven't let go of the questions my half-baked understanding raised about ownership and belonging, possession, dispossession, being possessed. Or maybe it's the questions that have not let go of me. Even after all these years, the notion of possessing land, of an entire people feeling that they have some kind of hold on the land they live on, is one that I cannot wrap my mind around, that I know will never be my experience as a Singaporean. In Singapore, the land owns us \u2013 with or without any willing surrender on our part. Our lives are shaped by it, driven by its imperatives, defined by space, or the lack thereof.\nLiving on a small island, we struggle to push our horizons beyond its physical dimensions \u2013 the fixation on travel is but one manifestation of this desire. And on the surface, it appears that we've succeeded: a granite diamond 25km from north to south, and 49km from east to west, the place seems like a joyous celebration of cosmopolitan openness. Walk down Orchard Road, with its flashing billboards selling you Gap and Louis Vuitton, the crowds flowing down the pavement, their skin every shade of black and brown and beige and cream, and it appears like there is no place more porous, more welcoming of diversity and change. Architects would have a field day just wandering around the Civic District, with its stately colonial buildings standing close to structures that look like they've been teleported straight out of a Star Trek movie. Mosques, churches, temples Hindu, Buddhist, and Taoist, jostle for space next to one another; and in our schools, the average student wrestles with learning the English of our former colonial masters while simultaneously wrapping his tongue round an Asian language that may or may not be his original mother tongue. Difference is so deeply engrained in our psyche that we don't even notice it, take it for granted the way we take for granted the air we breathe.\nAnd yet, some days, you feel the air closing in on you, walls built of fear and anxiety, defining the limits of possibility so cleanly and transparently that most people don't even notice they are there \u2013 and you know you have to leave. For all the colourful hubbub of our multicultural heritage, there is a stultifying sameness here, an insularity that eats into the marrow, a lack of vision and imagination that flattens the landscape of our national psyche, renders it dry and grey as granite. There are 15 distinct types of Singaporeans, a friend told me once \u2013 unwritten rules define the expected behaviours and attitudes of people from particular schools, educational streams, professions, income groups, religions; even the language you dream in determines to a large extent the kind of life you are likely to lead. People who fail to toe the line are seen as enigmas \u2013 labelled weird or different or, euphemistically, interesting. Any difference stands out like a monolith, at best; those who are not so strong seem more like wildflowers accidentally seeded in alien soils, blooming bright and extravagant for a while, before fading away for want of nourishment.\nI feel it most when I return to Singapore from overseas, from places where there seems to be more leeway to colour outside the lines: from England, for instance, where I once met a poetry-writing, yoga-practising, church-going nuclear physicist. And then there's my writing professor here at Berkeley: a Nigerian-Nordic-American Harvard alumnus who grew up in a single-parent family and has spent time in a Thai forest as a Buddhist nun. It's not just that these people defy the stereotypes so often set up as ways of understanding human behaviour \u2013 geeky scientists, fundamentalist religionists, flaky poets who can't count to save their lives \u2013 it's that these stereotypes seem to hold less power elsewhere than they do in Singapore. Of course, pigeonholes exist everywhere, and as long as there are pigeonholes, there will be those who want to roost in them. And to be fair, exceptions to the rule do exist in Singapore. But there seems to be more room in these other places for people who choose not to adhere to the standard template, more space for colour and individuality, more freedom to grow.\nThe narrowness first impressed itself upon my consciousness after I returned from my undergraduate years in London, when I fell into a greyness that lasted for more than five years before the fog finally lifted. I still remember the whoosh of humidity that hit me the moment the sliding doors separating the airport from the real world outside opened \u2013 it was like walking into a brick wall. For the next few years, I struggled with my home country, oscillating between a silent, corroding resentment, and a desperate flailing attempt to find some sort of foothold to anchor myself \u2013 I looked everywhere, within the margins and out, in institutions and far away from them, and in the process discovered nooks and crannies and communities I would otherwise not have thought existed. But there was never enough space; or, perhaps, there was never a space where I felt I could be free.\nPsychic space is linked to physical space in an undeniable embrace that is nonetheless seldom acknowledged, perhaps because of the very human desire to be masters of our environment, not its slaves. Uncomfortable thought \u2013 that our lives and worldviews could be determined by an accident of geography; that the shape of the land, its size, mineral composition, the curve of its rivers, could exert such a primeval force on as yet unborn futures. The usual Singaporean narrative has it that we are constrained by our lack of natural resources \u2013 this one unchangeable reality, wed to the primacy of the economic imperative in a country founded on trade, has determined the path we have chosen, narrows our vision of possible futures to a very few. People make choices that are circumscribed by the market, and the market here is smaller and narrower than most markets elsewhere simply because of our tiny physical size. To think different \u2013 and thus live different \u2013 is a luxury few can afford.\nOf course all this is not untrue. But living in such a congested space has another, subtler effect \u2013 it leaves individuals with little room to be, it edges out solitude, making it harder than usual to discern one's voice from the noise of the surrounding crowd. Peer pressure and group-think, intensified by physical proximity, work an insidious magic, obscuring the contingency of things, dressing up choice as necessity, painting new horizons as mere mirages, so that most people dare not even dream of making a different path. Sooner or later, most of the voices in that crowd begin sounding the same, drawn by fear and insecurity into parroting the rhythms and cadences of everyone else; and before you know it, what could have been a gorgeously complex, multi-layered polyphony is flattened into a single insistent, unhesitating monotone.\nHere in California, there is all the land in the world, so sprawl happens. Even the streets are wider, and it takes getting used to, neighbourhoods stretching on and on into nowhere, vast outlet malls splayed out next to highways like flattened cardboard boxes, empty stretches of road that you can drive down for miles without seeing a single human habitation. Every day, walking back from campus to the grey shingled house that is my temporary home during my two months in Berkeley, I stop at the crest of the steep upslope segment of the road and look down the long vista of century-old houses towards the sliver of sea gleaming on the horizon. Along the roadside, next to this vantage point, grows a patch of lavender, looking slightly dusty and faded, as roadside flowers do. Some days, if the fog has lifted, I can see the Golden Gate Bridge, its arches gentle against the pacific-blue sky. It's freeing, purifying; something inside unfurls and unwinds, sprawls \u2013 it's a lightening, an untightening, all of a piece with the way the Berkeley hills seem to unfold and undulate, green in the summer light.\nI know I will miss this spaciousness when I go back to Singapore. I will do all I can to remake for myself a little bit of California back in my native city-state \u2013 stay away from the hordes in town on weekends, seek out the few nature spots still left on our island \u2013 and it will still not be enough. It is not the fault of the people. Goodness knows we've tried so hard. But the land comes with its limitations \u2013 and in a place so tiny, there comes a point when even human ingenuity hits the walls of what nature has withheld. We've built up, built down: most of the island is covered with highrises; and we've tunnelled so much underground that I sometimes fear the whole city will just cave in, its foundations undermined by too much desire turned in on itself. Other cities expand horizontally \u2013 crawling, sprawling, they creep across the terrain, boxy structures continually encroaching on the line between lived-in and not-lived-in. In Singapore, once we've exhausted the limits of space, we devour time instead: tearing down old buildings, exhuming cemeteries, cutting down swathes of rainforest that have taken centuries to grow \u2013 we erase the past, cut our links with history. More than most other places, ours is a layered city: we've built and destroyed and built again, strata by invisible strata: and if each of these strata could suddenly and magically be made manifest, we would see a multitude of cities, the oldest tucked away in the inmost core of this vertical megalopolis, glowing quiet in the night.\nThese days, I find myself wondering what Singapore would look like if we had all the land in the world. The vertical strata of that hypothetical megalopolis would then extend horizontally across space, like in so many other bigger countries, so that all our history would be laid out, as in a map. At the core of it all, tropical jungle, then the fortifications of the Majapahit empire, wooden fishermen's huts, the Malay Sultans' palaces, followed by colonial buildings with their Roman columns and imposing stairways, Peranakan shophouses, elegant skyscrapers, and finally the postmodern monstrosities we've been building for the last decade: the spiky-domed \"Durian\", the silvery-disked \"UFO\". And interspersed between all of these, vast tracts of land: orchards, cemeteries, rainforests. Time rendered visible, rather than erased, in the very geography of our city-state.\nBy and large, the island where I live is quiet and peaceful. Sheltered by our neighbours from the worst of the sea's violence, and just a stone's throw away, in geological terms, from the Pacific Ring of Fire, our geographical situation has made possible the laser-sharp focus on economic growth that has characterised our history since Sir Stamford Raffles claimed us for the British Empire. No contending here with the violence of flood or tidal wave, earthquake or volcano \u2013 we've been mercifully undistracted by the natural disasters that plague so many of our neighbours in the region, and the most we experience of Nature's raw, wild power comes in the relatively mild guise of the tropical storms that are visited on us throughout the year.\nIn the three years when I lived in London, I resented the rain. Not because it got in the way of the things I wanted to do, but because English rain seemed too wimpy to be anything other than a minor annoyance \u2013 feathery, passive-aggressive, unassertive yet undeniably, irritatingly present. With English rain, you think you don't need an umbrella until an hour later when you find your clothes soaked through with damp. Not so with the rain in Singapore. So I missed the torrential rain that comes with the year-end monsoons, the way it slants through the air in great gusting sheets, beats down on pavements and splashes on tarred streets in little glimmering coronets. I missed the roar of waters like white-crested rapids surging dirt-yellow through storm-drains and canals, the gunshot-cracks of old tree branches in the moment before they come crashing to the pavement below, leaves torn and scattered every which way by the marauding winds.\nThe northeast monsoons come to us in November every year and stay till January, bearing air currents and dust and rain that have travelled thousands of miles, from north Asia or perhaps even Siberia, disturbing our little island before they veer southwest towards Australia. I have loved the monsoons for as long as I remember. They provide a welcome relief from the sticky humidity we have to live with the rest of the year \u2013 for over two months the tropical heat is replaced by gentler temperatures, even as lightning cuts the grey and thunder splits the air in a theatrical display of Sturm und Drang entirely out of character for our placid, pragmatic island-state. When I was a child, I liked nothing more than the dark clarity of the stormy afternoons during the end-of-the-year holidays, when the brown-and-cream-striped curtains in our living room would billow, wave-like, as the wind whistled through the house like the banshees I read about in Enid Blyton books, and the entire world outside our tinted windows appeared blurry and indistinct, washed by the rain.\nPerhaps what draws me to the monsoon is how it awakens the nesting instinct, forces me to hunker down, seek shelter from the elements outside. A house gains solidity in its presence; one feels a sense of home. Perhaps it is the intensity of the storm, how it brooks no argument, asserts itself completely, unheeding of our will. Or perhaps it is simply its otherness that fascinates: travelling to the tropics from the frozen north, the monsoon carries almost-tangible hints of foreign places, a soft coolness that seems wonderfully out of place on a tiny island just one degree north of the equator. Whatever the case, it has been the one constant in a city that reinvents itself so constantly, one has barely enough time to form attachments to things and places before they disappear.\nI loved the rains as a child, and I never wanted them to stop. But they did stop, of course; and after each afternoon shower, the avenue where I lived would be littered with fallen leaves and branches, glossy and sodden. Our white-tiled patio would be streaked with black: earthworms, driven out of our garden lawn by the rains. We knew they would dry up in the sun if left on their own. So we took large wads of toilet-paper, and wiped up the writhing forms before they could die on our front yard.\nWalking home one day, two months before coming to California, I remembered the old trees that used to line the avenue where I live. Mempat trees, I think, though I cannot be sure \u2013 searching on Google gave no conclusive answer. I recall them so clearly: deep-grooved trunks overgrown with moss and ferns; white seeds spinning in the wind, wings like helicopter blades; delicate pink and white flowers carpeting the entire road in the after-rain quiet. I miss those trees, towering above the houses. They gave shade to the whole neighbourhood. Looking out from my bedroom window, I used to see dark, dense foliage criss-crossed with sturdy branches; in the mornings, the entire housing estate was a symphony of birdsong. It's all gone now.\nA few years after I returned from London, the National Parks Board embarked on a massive tree extermination campaign in my neighbourhood \u2013 someone had lodged a complaint about the crows that took shelter in the trees, and someone else had written in about the danger that falling tree branches posed to the cars parked in the driveways and along the roads. So, without even so much as a written notification, the felling began. All but two of the old trees were cut down \u2013 the two that survived were smaller, not so massive and therefore not so much of a danger.\nThe neighbourhood where I grew up has changed, not beyond recognition, but enough that the things I grew attached to as a child no longer exist. The neatly-manicured park just behind my house used to be a basketball court: it was where my father taught me to ride a bicycle, and where, as a 12-year old, I picked out, from my vantage point at the upstairs study window, the cute guys among the many older neighbourhood boys who played basketball there every evening. I remember coming home one day from work several years ago, only to find that the basketball court had been replaced by an angry heap of rubble spread across the entire area \u2013 jagged slabs of concrete lying haphazardly like beached whales gasping for breath under the evening stars. No one had told us this was going to happen.\nJust before I left for California, I told myself that I should take a photo of the 24-hour Indian coffeeshop at the corner of the row of shophouses just a 15-minute walk from where I live. Just in case. I bring all my friends to that place; I've had late-night suppers and early-dawn breakfasts there; its green-and-yellow walls have been privy to any number of quiet confidences. It serves some of the best cheap Indian food in Singapore: crisply-layered pratas, fragrant nasi biryani, tenderly pungent mutton curry. I often stop by on my way back from work for a glass of teh-O-ice-limau \u2013 the cold tangy irony of fresh lime in sweetened black-tea is such a mood-lifter at the end of a long day. But the shophouses are slowly being demolished: just four doors down, there is a construction site all boarded up and harbouring a bright yellow crane \u2013 the piling has started, and the clanging noise vies with the traffic for dominance every morning. Who knows if the coffeeshop will still be there when I go back?\nI didn't take the photo.\nThis essay, in its various drafts, was written during the National Arts Council's Mentor Access Project 2012/13, the University of California Berkeley's Summer Creative Writing Program 2013 and a residency at the Vermont Studio Center in May 2014.\nNATAS Travel Fair\nRobert Frost's 'The Gift Outright'\nMempat trees",

        "raw_content": "The Royal 2017: a year of big birthdays\nThe old year is winding to an end, leaving its memories in its wake. And amongst them are a string of big royal birthdays that were celebrated in 2017. A half century, one big 4-0 and several sisters with serious celebrations make this line up. As the year comes to an end, here's a look back at who passed major milestones in the Royal 2017....\nKing Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands turned 50 on April 27th 2017\nThe first king to rule the Netherlands marked his half century in April 2017 with the whole country turning out to party with him at the annual King's Day celebrations. Willem-Alexander turned 50 exactly 150 years after the last Dutch King (Willem III) celebrated the same milestone. Willem-Alexander starred in a series of official portraits to mark the event before his royal household launched themselves onto Instagram on King's Day itself. The party continued with a huge dinner for 150 guests all celebrating landmark birthdays themselves on the same day, an exhibition on his 50 years that opened for 50 hours non stop and an epic group photo to round things off. Well, sort of. He held another party for friends and family on April 29th. Let's hope he kept the streamers - his mum, Beatrix, is 80 in January 2018.\nCrown Princess Victoria of Sweden celebrated her 40th birthday on July 14th 2017\nVictoria, heir to the throne of Sweden, is about as popular as a royal gets right now so it was no surprise that her milestone 40th birthday was marked with two days of celebrations attended by huge crowds. The Crown Princess began her birthday events with a Te Deum at the Royal Palace in Stockholm on the morning of her birthday with her proud mum and dad leading royal guests, friends and family into the ceremony. This was followed by a reception, a speech from the birthday girl, official gifts and a balcony appearance before the Crown Princess and her family took a carriage ride through the streets of Stockholm which were packed with wellwishers. The following day saw Victoria and her family head to Solliden for more informal celebrations which involved a long walkabout among big crowds who had come along to wish Victoria a happy birthday. In another happy year for Sweden's royals, the future queen was once more the star of the show.\nThe Duchess of Cornwall was 70 on July 17th 2017\nIt's a big birthday and was marked by a big party but most of the celebrations went on in private. The Duchess of Cornwall turned 70 this summer. Camilla's birthday was marked with the release of two official photos by Mario Testino.

King Harald's big sister celebrated her special day on February 12th with two portraits including a rather moving one of her posing between paintings of her parents, King Olav V and Crown Princess Martha of Norway. Astrid was also at the heart of the celebrations for the 80th birthday of her baby brother, King Harald V, and sister in law, Queen Sonja, which dominated the Norwegian royal summer.\nPrincess Birgitta of Sweden turned 80 on January 20th 2017\nShe's the fabulous sister who does things her own way but on her 80th birthday in January this year, Princess Birgitta of Sweden was the very image of a discreet princess as she posed for a special photo with her siblings. The second of the Haga princesses celebrated eight decades on January 20th this year with a dinner hosted by her brother, King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden, and attended by friends and family. Birgitta's birthday was the first big royal milestone of 2017 and she got the party season started in style.\nBritish Royalty Dutch Royalty Norwegian Royalty Swedish Royalty The Royal 2017",

E.g., a lot is being spent on a medical/dental program, that could be used to throw some bitchin' beer gardens. Imagine the parties that could happen if the students fees were used to used to buy kegs of beer. Do students really want the current AMS programs? NO!!! Admit it, we are here to drink.\nAdmittedly, spending all the money on booze could be excessive. Therefor, I think the remainder of the money should be spent on an extensive program to ban all protesters from UBC. All they do is waste time and energy, and use up valuable space in this paper, space that could be better used for Crown Royal ads.\n2. I think that the executives do not deserve to be paid (including me). What do they really do? There should be a nominal allowance so they can all have well stocked beer fridges, and that is all. Further, any program that does not relate to drinking can be torched (Safewalk can stay, drunk first-year girls need a way home). Finally, In order to save money, we need more corporate sponsorship. Do you really care if your class is in Microsoft Theater instead of Hebb if it saves you $20 a year. That is one more case of beer. Fuck it, I know I am a strong enough person that my views are not randomly changed by attending class in Ford Hall.\n3. OK, this is a no-brainer. MORE BOOZE. At the end of the year if the AMS has a surplus, lets have the Go Home Barbecue. Drinks are \"15 apiece, and if your glass is the size of a fish bowl, it gets FILLED, none of this halfway crap.",

        "title": "The Finger Of God",
        "raw_content": "(A Preview of Coming Attractions)\nIn the action movie \u201cTwister\u201d there is a scene where the fearless storm chasers have gone to Aunt Meg\u2019s house to have a respite from their harrowing experiences. While consuming a southwestern meal of steak and eggs and discussing past adventures, Dr. Melissa Reeves (played by Jami Gertz) asks if there is such as thing as an F5 tornado and if anyone has ever seen one. A tornado classified as an F5 would be the largest tornado possible and would be extremely rare. The F in F5 refers to the Fujita scale which is used to measure the size and intensity of the storm based upon the damage assessment. When one of the team indicates in the affirmative, Dr. Reeves continues by asking, \u201cHow would you describe it?\u201d The answer given - the Finger of God.\nWithout being flippant, the description set forth above truly is a preview of what is to come. This movie makes an analogy between the extreme destructive power of an F5 tornado and the finger of God. The implication, of course, is that the power and destructive force of Almighty God is incalculable. It seems that we equate massive destruction with God\u2019s power and might; such a comparison may be very compelling when contemplating the future.\nYou will find ample mention of the love, grace and mercy of God in the Christian world today. His love was made manifest by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross at Calvary as atonement for the sins of mankind. The importance of love is emphasized by Jesus when He speaks with authority concerning the most important commandments and how all of the other commandments flow from these two (Matt. 22:34-40). Many wedding vows are drafted around the wording of 1 Cor. 13, commonly known as the \u201clove chapter\u201d of the Bible. Without a doubt, love and reconciliation with God are the overall themes of the Biblical account.\nWhat we sometimes downplay and even fail to mention is the \u201cwrath of God.\u201d It may be somewhat \u201cpolitically incorrect\u201d to talk about the wrath of God and what it actually means during these times but that does not mean that the topic is invalid. If one takes the position that we are living in the last days as Christ talked about extensively in the Olivet Discourse (Matt.24) and that the Rapture of the church could be imminent, the wrath of God is extremely valid and appropriate.\nWho Will Experience the Wrath of God?\nIn Romans 1:18-19 and continuing thereafter through verse 32, Paul writes that the wrath of God will be unleashed upon the ungodly and the unrighteous. He then goes on to describe the actions that make these particular people ungodly and/or unrighteous. They are without excuse because of the things of this world which are clearly seen.\n18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; 19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. Rom 1:18-19 (KJV)\nIn Colossians Paul also writes about the wrath of God and who is deserving of that punishment. He points out that the wrath of God will be visited upon the \u201cchildren of disobedience\u201d and describes the acts of disobedience in the surrounding verses.\n5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: Col 3:5-6 (KJV)\nThe apostle John, in writing the Book of Revelation, witnesses the pouring out of the wrath of God which is demonstrated by the vial judgments during the seven year period of the Tribulation.\n7 And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever. 8 And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled. Rev 15:7-8 (KJV)\nSo it appears that only the truly ungodly or unrighteous will experience God\u2019s wrath along with those who are unfortunately enough to be around during the prophesied Tribulation period, right? In other words, only the really bad people will be subjected to the wrath of God, whatever that might be?\nThe apostle John, in his Gospel account, described who it was that stood condemned before the throne of God. Although we are very familiar with a preceding verse (John 3:16), we sometimes neglect to read further. One of the subsequent verses makes it very plain who stands condemned before Almighty God:\n18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. John 3:18 (KJV)\nIn a following verse, John once again emphasizes that the wrath of God will fall upon the unbeliever in contrast to the believer who will have eternal life.\n36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. John 3:36 (KJV)\nPaul, in his writings to the church at Ephesus, identified those who would be subject to the wrath of God. The wrath of God would come upon the children of disobedience.\n3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; 4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. 5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.\n6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Eph 5:3-6 (KJV)\nIf you are not a believer in Jesus Christ as the Son of God, you are condemned. Jesus Christ is your sole source of salvation. Good works won\u2019t do it (Eph. 2:8-9) and neither will anything else according to this verse. If you believe that the Bible is the inerrant Word of God and not a work of fiction, then this verse dictates your position when it comes to a time of judgment. Your eternal destiny depends on your status as either a believer or non-believer at the time of your death or when Jesus Christ comes again (\u201cthe second Coming\u201d). There is no fence-sitting when it comes to this decision, i.e. no decision is a decision. There are no neutral states when it comes to this issue.\n30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad. Matt 12:30 (KJV)\nIn other words, \u201cif you ain\u2019t for me, then you are agin me.\u201d This sums up who will be subject to the wrath of God. Make no mistake about it \u2013 you will be on one side or the other and God will know what side you have chosen.\nWhat is the \u201cWrath of God\u201d?\nIn the Old Testament, we see a number of descriptions of the overwhelming power of God which resulted in destruction of the ungodly and unrighteous. Time and again the ungodly were made witness to this power. Any familiarity with the Old Testament brings to mind many of these accounts including (1) the deluge resulting in the destruction of the world, save Noah and his family; (2) the exodus of the Israelite nation from Egypt after the affliction brought on by the ten plagues along with the attending annihilation of Pharaoh\u2019s army; (3) the walls of Jericho; and (4) the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Each of these examples of destruction brought on by Almighty God illustrates the ruin and devastation that God is capable of bringing. Obliteration of Pharaoh\u2019s army, the sinful people of Noah\u2019s generation, the inhabitants of Jericho and the populace of Sodom and Gomorrah was total; it was complete. It was the wrath of God.\nThe Book of Revelation contains an account of the troubles to come during the period of the Tribulation. There are a total of twenty-one judgments visited upon the people then inhabiting the earth and these prophesied judgments reveal the wrath of God. The judgment and retribution of God is so intense that men will flee before it and beg to die.\n15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; 16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: 17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? Rev 6:15-17 (KJV)\nIn the 16th chapter of the Book of Revelation, John the apostle witnessed the pouring out of the wrath of God by way of the bowl or vial judgments. This pouring out of the wrath of God encompasses the following: (1) sores upon men who have the mark of the beast or antichrist; (2) the turning of the seas into blood; (3) the turning of the fresh waters of the earth into blood; (4) scorching of men with fire from the sun; (5) darkness over the kingdom of the beast along with pain; (6) the drying up of the river Euphrates preparing the way for the armies from the east; and (7) a tremendous earthquake over the entire earth such as has never been seen before along with a plague of hail.\nUnfortunately, during this period men will not repent of their sins but instead will curse God. They will shake their fists in fury at Him and will refuse to bow before the ferocity of His judgment.\n11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds. * * * 21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great. Rev. 16:11, 21 (KJV)\nIf the example used at the beginning of this article is anywhere comparable to God\u2019s power and might, i.e. an F5 tornado is the \u201cFinger of God\u201d, I do not want to experience the strength of His arm. While God is certainly loving, patient and merciful, that patience and mercy has limits. When the time is full, there will be a withdrawal of that patience and mercy.\nThroughout history the wrath of God visited upon mankind has been in fulfillment of His righteous judgment which is perfect and holy. In the period of the Tribulation, His wrath shall be His last call for reconciliation and redemption. The purpose will be to bring man to his knees so that he will seek out his Creator. Response to that call is not something to be put off because we do not know when Jesus Christ will rapture His church. When it happens there will not be an opportunity to avoid God\u2019s wrath. You will experience it. Personally, I would prefer to seek Him out now before He displays His wrath. It only makes sense.",

Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxylthiophene) (PEDOT) doped with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was electrochemically synthesized and employed for the immobilization of biotinylated aptamer towards the detection of the target. The diffusion coefficient of the nanocomposite was 6.50 \u00d7 10\u22127 cm2 s\u22121, which showed that the nanocomposite was highly conducting. Electrochemical impedance investigation also revealed the catalytic properties of the nanocomposite with an exchange current value of 2.16 \u00d7 10\u22124 A, compared to 2.14 \u00d7 10\u22125 A obtained for the bare electrode. Streptavidin was covalently attached to the platform using carbodiimide chemistry and the aptamer immobilized via streptavidin\u2014biotin interaction. The electrochemical signal generated from the aptamer\u2013target molecule interaction was monitored electrochemically using cyclic voltammetry and square wave voltammetry in the presence of [Fe(CN)6]\u22123/\u22124 as a redox probe. The signal observed shows a current decrease due to interference of the bound 17\u03b2-estradiol. The current drop was proportional to the concentration of 17\u03b2-estradiol. The PEDOT/AuNP platform exhibited high electroactivity, with increased peak current. The platform was found suitable for the immobilization of the DNAaptamer. The aptasensor was able to distinguish 17\u03b2-estradiol from structurally similar endocrine disrupting chemicals denoting its specificity to 17\u03b2-estradiol. The detectable concentration range of the 17\u03b2-estradiol was 0.1 nM\u2013100 nM, with a detection limit of 0.02 nM.\nProf. Priscilla Baker [7]",

However, there is an exception whereby a victim of crime is permitted to institute a private prosecution if the prosecutor has declined to prosecute. South African law allows natural, but not juristic, persons to institute private prosecutions. In the case examined in this note, the appellant argued that the law prohibiting juristic persons from instituting private prosecutions is discriminatory. The Supreme Court of Appeal held that private prosecutions are only permitted on grounds of direct infringement of human dignity. This note argues that section 7 of the Criminal Procedure Act is unconstitutional for excluding juristic persons from instituting private prosecutions and recommends steps the appellant could take to institute private prosecutions against those who mistreat animals.\nProf. Jamil Mujuzi [28]",

        "raw_content": "JOINT STATEMENT ON AUGUST 2018 INFLATION ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CLUSTER\nPhoto: A vegetable farm waiting for harvest. The government hopes that upcoming harvests may lower food prices.\nThe Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) reported that the headline inflation rate accelerated to 6.4 percent year-on-year (YOY) in August 2018, faster than the previous month\u2019s 5.7 percent and the 2.6 percent of the same period last year. This brings the year-to-date inflation to 4.8 percent, beyond the upper-band of the government\u2019s inflation target of 2 to 4 percent, and slightly below the BSP\u2019s revised full-year inflation forecast of 4.9 percent. Meanwhile, month-on-month inflation (MOM) accelerated to 0.9 percent, from 0.5 percent in July 2018.\nThe highest contributors to inflation in August are electricity, gas, and fuels, fish, rice, personal transport, vegetables, and meat. Reforms in agriculture will continuously be implemented to address the supply issues causing the rise in food prices. This is supported by the lowest regional inflation rate recorded in food-abundant and agriculturally-productive Region III at 3.6 percent. A committed effort from government in the agriculture sector to boost supply of key products and introduce policy reforms will bring down prices for all Filipino families.\nAn initial meeting was conducted today, September 5, 2018, with the Department of Finance (DOF), the Department of Budget and Management (DBM), the National Economic Development and Authority (NEDA), the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), the Department of Agriculture (DA), the Department of Justice (DOJ), the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), the Bureau of the Treasury (BTr), and some members of the National Food Authority (NFA) Council to address food inflation. Immediate reforms for reducing food prices include the following:\nA.\tOn fish, the Department of Agriculture (DA) has committed to replicating the issuance of certificates of necessity to allow imports to be distributed in the wet markets in Metro Manila and to the other markets of the country.\nB.\tOn rice supply issues, 4.6 million sacks of rice available in NFA warehouses will be immediately released to the market across the country. We also expect approximately 2.0 million sacks of rice previously contracted to be delivered before the end of September. In addition, the NFA Council authorized the importation of 5.0 million sacks that will be arriving over the next one and half months and another 5.0 million sacks will be imported early next year. To address the reported shortage in Zamboanga, Basilan, Sulu, and Tawi-tawi, 2.7 million sacks will be allocated to these areas. In addition, harvest has also started in many parts of the country, with the projected harvest for 2018 of 12.6 million MT of rice, the equivalent of 252 million sacks.\nC.\tThe economic managers have agreed to recommend to the President the issuance of a directive to further simplify and streamline the licensing procedures for rice imports of the NFA. Moreover, we urge the Senate to immediately pass the Rice Tariffication Bill within the month.\nD.\tThe DTI, NFA, Philippine National Police (PNP), National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), and farmer groups will form a monitoring team for surveillance of rice from ports to NFA warehouses and retail outlets.\nE.\tOn chicken, to reduce the gap between the farm gate and retail prices, DA and DTI will convene poultry producers and setup public markets where producers can sell directly to the end customer. DA will provide cold storage for this purpose.\nF.\tThe Sugar Regulatory Administration (SRA) will open importation of sugar to direct users to moderate cost to consumers.\nG.\tThe spike in the prices of vegetables was attributed to seasonal weather conditions. We will see relief in this area after the typhoon season.\nH.\tThe Bureau of Customs will prioritize the release of essential food items in the ports.\nThe government\u2019s economic team has previously announced that inflation is expected to peak in the third quarter before tapering off towards the latter part of the year, and then fall within the government\u2019s target by next year. However, inflation in August was beyond the median market forecast. We remain steadfast in putting forward and accelerating these measures that will address food prices for all Filipinos.",

        "raw_content": "Roerich museum: An insight into the artist\u2019s remarkable life\nPainter, scientist, traveler, public figure, writer and philosopher, Nikolai Roerich, was a man of many talents. No wonder his Moscow museum is as unusual and multi-faceted as the man himself was / Video.\nAlthough his museum is housed in a 17th-century mansion in the city center, Roerich himself had few links to Moscow. He was born in St. Petersburg in 1874. At an early age, he became interested in painting, history and archaeology \u2013 the interests that would become lifelong passions.\nRoerich\u2019s father did not want him to pursue painting as a career, preferring law as a vocation for his son. So the young man studied both, without forgetting his love for archaeology.\nWhile still a student, he had already become a member of the Russian archeological society and conducted numerous excavations around St. Petersburg and surrounding areas. His early paintings were very much inspired by Russian history and landscapes, as well as by ancient legends and fairytales.\nAfter the Revolution, Roerich and his wife lived abroad, in Scandinavia, the UK and the US, designing stage scenery for several Russian opera performances and going on exhibition tours. In the 1920s he realized his lifelong dream of going on a scientific expedition to India and the Himalayas. Many of his paintings were inspired by this trip, which also proved to be a long spiritual journey.\nFascinated by the philosophers of the East, Roerich devised an entire philosophical and ethical teaching, called Living Ethics, with a following around the world. He continued to live and work in India, where he died in 1947.\nNicholas Roerich is remembered as an advocate of the arts and culture and as a man who initiated an international pact for the protection of artistic and academic institutions and historical sites. He left behind some seven thousand paintings and dozens of books and essays. And Moscow\u2019s Roerich museum offers a captivating look at his life and legacy.\nRussia Today, Apr 19, 2012",

        "raw_content": "Mark Wehrman shows off one of Big Sky Golf Course\u2019s four new GolfBoards, which can help speed up the pace of play. PHOTO BY TOM CONWAY\nBy Mark Wehrman EBS Contributor\nWhen most people think of golf they think of stuffy old country clubs, plaid, pleated pants, hard collared shirts, and a long slow game that\u2019s too expensive. Well, I\u2019m here to tell you that the times are changing and Big Sky Golf Course is intent on leading that charge.\nThe two biggest challenges in golf are time and money. Playing 18 holes takes too much time, and green fees and equipment are too expensive. At Big Sky Golf Course we have a more relaxed dress code by only requiring golfers to wear collared shirts, and jeans are allowed. You can play music on the course, as long as the decibel level is only heard in your group.\nYou can play five, nine, 13 or 18 holes. No one has to keep score and if you want to drop your ball on the other side of a hazard we encourage you to do so. Whatever you want to do to increase your enjoyment on the course we recommend it.\nThe biggest change this season at Big Sky Golf Course is the purchase of four brand new GolfBoards. The GolfBoard is new to the industry and it\u2019s like having your own personal golf cart. It rides like a skateboard or snowboard and is controlled by leaning towards your toes or heels to turn. There is a stability bar to hang on to with a small throttle control that can power you up to a maximum speed of 10 mph. The handle bar also acts as a bag stand for your clubs, and you have your own cooler and cup holder on the board as well.\nThe most exciting thing about the GolfBoard is its ability to speed up your round. Myself and two others played 18 holes on the boards recently and we finished in less than two-and-a-half hours. We never were rushing and we all found it much easier to focus on our own game versus the distractions that occur when riding in a golf cart with someone else. Not only is the GolfBoard something new and fun to golf, but it also parallels the culture that we love about Big Sky: skiing, snowboarding, biking, hiking and a general love for the outdoors.\nLike I said earlier, the golf industry is changing for the better and Big Sky Golf Course is working to break down those old barriers and make the game more affordable, fun and less time consuming for everyone!\nMark Wehrman is the PGA Head Professional at the Big Sky Resort Golf Course.",

There is also an oversupply in in our country as a result of slowing demand from India and China,\u201d he told press on Monday.\nThis year, the government targets national coal production of 485 million tons, 25 percent of which is for the domestic market obligation, which is equal to 121.25 million tons.\nData from the Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry up to September show that coal production had reached 70.9 percent of the annual total target, or equivalent to 344 million tons.\nThe government continued its policy to cap the coal price for electricity purposes at $70 per ton, aiming to maintain the electricity price at an affordable level.

        "raw_content": "The safe, e cient, and reliable operations of land, air, and marine vessels and structural systems depend on the performance of the human operator. In fact, human error and fatigue have proven to be major causes of many historical catastrophes. Therefore, monitoring the physiological parameters and/or psychological state of the operator can facilitate early detection of problems and provide the necessary feedback for preventing potential accidents. One approach is to measure human vital signs (e.g., respiratory rate, body temperature, and bodily motions) using a wearable sensing system as a way of correlating and monitoring human physiological performance (e.g., fatigue or medical emergencies).\nInstead of using conventional, bulky, wearable devices, the approach undertaken by the Active, Response, Multifunctional, and Ordered-materials Research (ARMOR) Lab and in collaboration with Prof. Helen Koo (UC Davis) is to design fabric-based sensors that are exible, lightweight,\nlow-cost, non-intrusive, washable, and comfortable to wear. Here, carbon nanomaterial-based thin lm sensors are integrated with exible fabric. The resulting fabric sensors can be readily tailored to form garments, chest bands, patches, and gloves, among others. They are by nature multifunctional, since fabric sensors can be worn on the body, while their electrical properties are tuned to be sensitive to changes in body temperature and deformation (e.g., due to chest movements during breathing), which have been successfully demonstrated in the lab. The vision is to establish a framework for designing and manufacturing di erent types of multifunctional fabrics for the military, emergency rst responders, workers working in hazardous conditions, healthcare personnel, and patients, among many others.",

        "raw_content": "Caltrans Seismic Response Modification Device (SRMD) Test Facility\nSeismic response modification devices (SRMDs), such as dampers and isolator bearings, have been recently incorporated in many seismic retrofit strategies, particularly in major toll crossing like the ones object of the Caltrans Toll Bridge Retrofit Program. Capacities and sizes of these devices make problematic the characterization of their performance, longevity and wear. For this reason Caltrans supported the development of this dedicated testing facility, capable of real-time 6-DOF dynamic characterizations of full-scale bearing devices and dampers. The facility was completed and became operational in 1999. It was developed jointly by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), the Department of Structural Engineering at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), and MTS Corporation of Eden Prairie, Minnesota. The building (High Bay Physics Laboratory) that accommodates the SRMD Testing Machine is located directly adjacent to the Powell Structural Research Laboratories, with the advantage of direct access to the support services of these labs.\nThe testing system consists of prestressed concrete reaction frame and a moving platen, connected by four horizontal actuators to the concrete box. The platen, 3.658 m wide by 4.750 m long, slides over four hydraulic hydrostatic low friction bearings attached to the floor of the concrete structure. The platen also extends, for improved stability, with four steel outrigger arms that support four pairs (i.e., upper and lower) low friction slide bearing actuators. The testing system is completed by two additional reaction structures: a removable steel cross beam and a prestressed reaction wall on the west end of the machine, designed for testing dampers. The removable cross-frame and the configuration of the platen make the system flexible to perform in different testing setups, with the characteristics of a unique shaking table. The installation was updated in 2003 with a digital tri-variable controller and a digital off-line simulation for performance prediction and to operate in \u201cshaking table\u201d mode (sponsored by FHWA).\nVertical Force* 53,400 kN (12,000 kips)\nLongitudinal Force* 8,900 kN (2,000 kips)\nLateral Force* 4,450 kN (1,000 kips)\nVertical Displacement \u00b1 0.127 m ( \u00b1 5 in)\nLongitudinal Displacement \u00b1 1.219 m ( \u00b1 48 in)\nLateral Displacement \u00b1 0.610 m ( \u00b1 24 in)\nVertical Velocity \u00b1 254 mm/s ( \u00b1 10 in/s)\nLongitudinal Velocity \u00b1 1,800 mm/s ( \u00b1 70 in/s)\nLateral Velocity \u00b1 760mm/s ( \u00b1 30 in/s)\nRelative Platen Rotation (Roll, Pitch, & Yaw) \u00b1 2 degrees\nMaximum Specimen Height 1.524 m (60 in)",

        "raw_content": "by prolog February 5, 2017 May 10, 2018 0 comments on Qualities that Make a Lasting Leader\nWhat makes a great leader? What causes a leader to inspire others to go the extra mile to make a project succeed? What traits and habits should you cultivate to be the kind of leader that people want to follow? Most people would agree that the following traits are essential in a good leader:\nConfidence. This is one of the top qualities people think of. Leadership isn\u2019t for the timid or the shy, although there are plenty of those that lead quietly. People respond to confidence, and are naturally attracted to it. A leader that does not project confidence cannot lead effectively.\nIntegrity. No one will follow a leader that can\u2019t be trusted, at least not for very long. Trust is one of the most important things to inspire in others.\nDecisiveness. Leaders must make decisions, often quickly, and must stick by them. Wishy-washy does not cut it; people tend to follow those who act, not those who talk about acting. A decisive leader makes others feel safe and confident.\nOptimism. Inspiring confidence and trust is much easier with a good outlook. The optimist has an open mind, and the ability to see the bigger picture. This is incredibly important, because when there are setbacks, and there always are, the optimist is able to step back and look at the problem with an open mind, often seeing the hidden opportunity.\nThese are traits that many good leaders share. Confidence, integrity, decisiveness and optimism are qualities that we all should strive for. These are assets, as well as equipment rentals in summit, that are valuable to any organization. There are other qualities, though, that are sometimes overlooked. These qualities can make a good leader a great leader. If you look at some of the most-loved leaders, both past and present, you will no doubt see the following traits:\nThis is an often undervalued trait that truly good leaders possess. Someone with humility knows who they are. He or she knows their weaknesses as well as their strengths, and they don\u2019t feel a need to hide either of them. They are not afraid to be wrong. They do not have overblown egos, and they know how to ask for help.\nThere have been many leaders in history that have lacked this quality, of course, but the leaders who have truly made a positive difference, whether in an organization, or leading a movement or a country. Compassionate leaders do not need to intimidate or throw their weight around to get things done. A compassionate leader is approachable, and welcomes ideas and input from others. A compassionate leader inspires honesty, creativity and cooperation.\nThe ability to make people laugh is a gift, and a leader who can laugh with others has the ability to put people at ease. Who doesn\u2019t love someone with a good sense of humor?\nThe buck stops with them. A natural leader does not throw people under the bus when things go awry. He or she takes responsibility and protects those who work for them. A leader who is accountable inspires those around him to be as well.\nAnyone in a leadership position would do well to cultivate all of these qualities. Being a leader is a balancing act. Balancing decisiveness and confidence with humor and compassion, steering away from ego in favor of humility, and consistently practicing integrity and accountability are the keys to becoming and remaining a leader who is well-respected.\nYou will notice that intelligence is not on the list. This is because the leader is not necessarily the smartest person in the room, nor the most experienced. They know when it\u2019s best to rely on their masters degree in leadership and when to step back and say, \u201cthis project is out of my wheelhouse\u201d or, \u201csomeone else would be better suited.\u201d This is helpful to know in the event you are put in a position of leadership over people who are more educated, experienced or older than you. If you possess the essential qualities that make a good leader, the rest will come naturally.\nClarke & Rush has been providing installation, maintenance, and repair services for heating and cooling systems since its founding in 1963.

Businesses with an annual turnover of more than $3 million must now notify the Australian Information Commissioner and customers in the event of a data breach.\nThe Notifiable Data Breaches Quarterly Statistics Report (January-March 2018) report detailed 63 breach notifications, of which the largest proportion came from the healthcare industry.\nRBC Group notes that the legal accounting and management services sector who reported 10 breaches \u2013 equating to 16% of notices.\nFurther statistics from the report show that in 78% of cases, private contact information was exposed or accessed and in 30% of cases, financial details of businesses and customers were breached.

        "title": "Scale dimension",
        "raw_content": "Another World (M.C. Escher), 1947.\nThe scale dimension \u2013 dimension, regarded as the degree of freedom in the theory of Infinite Hierarchical Nesting of Matter, which characterizes the location of all known objects in the Universe at large-scale ladder of levels of matter. With SP\u0424 symmetry one can make the transition from a system on the level of matter to similar system at a different level of matter, with the change in size of the system is accompanied by at least two more parameters, for example, the mass and velocity of processes. [1]\nThis implies that the scale dimension differs from the usual three-dimensional spatial dimensions, and is a special degree of freedom. In the study of matter carriers, which embody the scale dimension, revealed fractality of space systems, their self-similarity, hierarchical structures and nesting of small systems into large systems, similarity of matter levels. The transition from a certain level of matter to an increasingly lower levels reveals the depth of the space-time \u2013 the objects are reduced in mass and size, and speed of the local time from the perspective of an outside observer increases.\nIn the research, which uses scale transformations and spatial dimensions, the scale dimension may be studied by geometrical methods, and thus beyond the scope of the geometry. The idea of the scale dimension finally took shape in the writings of Robert Oldershaw, Sergey Sukhonos and Sergey Fedosin.\n2.1 Scale relativity\n2.2 Wave interpretation\n2.3 The scale dimension as a structural property\nSearch and research prospects of new spatial dimensions involved many scientists and philosophers. Helena Blavatsky wrote:\nThe familiar phrase of the fourth dimension of space can only be reduced over the full form of: \u2013 the fourth dimension of matter in space ... The course of evolution may have to introduce us to the new characteristics of matter ... [2]\nAs can be seen Madame Blavatsky believed the fourth dimension is not just another spatial dimension, and dimension-mediated properties of matter that can become aware and approved in the future.\nP. D. Ouspensky for describing the properties of the fourth dimension came from the fact that the motion of a point beyond itself leaves a trace as a line, a similar movement of the line gives the trace in the form of surface, movement of the surface in a direction not associated with the surface, gives a three-dimensional body. Hence, the displacement of three-dimensional body in non a three-dimensional direction should lead to a trace as a four-dimensional body. Ouspensky also drew attention to the fact that the line is a set of points, the surface \u2013 the set of lines, and the body can be represented as a set of surfaces related to each other. Consequently, the four-dimensional body shall consist of a set of related somehow to the whole three-dimensional bodies.\nOn the other hand, the line is limited to points at the ends and gives the distance between them, the surface is bounded by lines and dots, and determines the distance between these lines and points (an example is a circle with the center and circumference), and three-dimensional body is limited to surfaces, lines and dots with a certain distance between them. Then the boundaries of four-dimensional body can be three-dimensional bodies, and probably the surface, lines and points. Ouspensky also wrote:\nThen \u2013 a point we consider as a section of line, the line as a section of surface, the surface of a section of the body. By analogy with this the three-dimensional body (a cube, sphere, pyramid) can probably be regarded as a section of the bodies of four dimensions, and all three-dimensional space as a section of four ... The Fifth Dimension should not be considered as lying outside the mind, but as a property of consciousness itself, \u2013 that line or what direction that should increase awareness. [3]\nIn physics, the idea of extra spatial dimensions is used in the theories of unification of fundamental interactions. One of the earliest theories was Kaluza\u2013Klein theory (Theodor Kaluza, 1921), which tried to unite electromagnetism and gravity. Due to the unobservability of the fourth spatial dimension in our world Oskar Klein in 1926 suggested that this dimension compactified and has a very small size. In string theory used 10-dimensional and 26-dimensional space-time, and additional measurements are also subject to compactification.\nMetamorphosis III, 1967-1968.\nHistoric-philosophical analysis of concepts of spatial dimension shows, [4] that the earliest models of the universe were in the form of eggs (zero-dimension), replacing first band one-dimensional model of ancient Egypt \u2013 the universe as extended the Nile river, over which the pillars extend the sky in the form of a flat roof, to which the bottom nailed the stars. Then came the two-dimensional model of antiquity \u2013 Earth of Homer (VIII cent. BC) likened to a convex shield on all sides was surrounded by a river-ocean and covered with starry dome, and the medieval flat Earth was on the whales or elephants, and was also covered starry dome.\nPtolemy's model of the universe (II century AD.), was almost two-dimensional, in it around the Earth on epicyclical orbits rotating planets and stars (the latter are on a rotating spherical dome). At present, in science dominates the heliocentric model of the solar system and three-dimensional model of the universe of Western European civilization. Thus, there is increasing of space dimension in all models of the world and all areas of beliefs about it. This is confirmed by the history of painting, where the ancient paintings are one-dimensional, two-dimensional in the Middle Ages, and only in the Renaissance they acquire a third dimension.\nSince the beginning of the twentieth century, artists began to attempt to show the new fourth dimension. The most impressive results are achieved in the paintings of M. C. Escher and Salvador Dali. The way from tape to three-dimensional space has done architecture, similarly to painting. One of the most famous attempts to break into the four dimension can be regarded as an architectural work of Le Corbusier. These examples of painting, cosmology and architecture conclusively proved that over the past five thousand years our civilization has evolved from a one-dimensional to three-dimensional space of consciousness, and is currently in the transition to the four dimension.\nThere are different points of view on the scale dimension, which underlying these or other properties of objects in it and thereby characterize the very scale dimension.\nFor example, Edmund Edward Fournier D'Albe believed, [5] that the ratio of linear dimensions of the stars and atoms, as well as the ratio of their durations of similar processes, expressed as the number 1022. Yong Pyo Young by comparing atoms and galaxies found for the coefficients of similarity in size and time of the order of 1030. [6] Thus the difference of time speeds at different levels of matter is emphasized, as a consequence of the properties of the scale dimension.\nIn terms of geometry that describes spatial forms, the concept of \"scale dimension\" is some interpretation of the concept \"fourth spatial dimension\". One can imagine some fourth axis of space, move along its three-dimensional body and assume that the four-body is the entire set of forms, which took three-dimensional body during moving along the fourth axis of space. Similarly, movement of a point (zero dimension) yields a line (one dimension), motion of a line parallel to itself delineates a plane figure (two dimensions), movement of a plane figure in direction of vector does not lie in the plane of the figure, leads to the bulk body. In contrast to this approach, scale dimension has the additional property \u2013 not just geometric objects move in space for formation of the fourth dimension, but it can still change its scale. That is, three-dimensional body can change its size (volume) when driving along scale axis, similar to the area can vary the shape and thickness of the line. As with any axis of the coordinate system in space-time, scale axis is different from all other axes in relation its direction, and that is enough for geometry. For physical systems is convenient to assume that the direction of the axis shows in the direction of increasing scale, and opposite direction \u2013 into the interior space.\nThe fourth dimension is very difficult for the imagination. One way to see its expression \u2013 imagine yourself shrinking in size and observing the surrounding space with objects in it. Another option \u2013 to draw a volume in space surveillance and permanently reduce its size. The process is endless, and despite the fact that outside of the scope, limited quantities beyond the Planck scale, quantum physics do not imagine what there happens, we can not say that there is no space. This decrease in the volume of observation reveals, moreover, special features of space, which are difficult to apperceive \u2013 namely, the infinity of space in an infinite number of points. Since all five visible (or represented figuratively) dimensions (including time) are of infinite length, then assume the finiteness of the fourth dimension at small scale there is no reason to.\nIn philosophy, the concept of space is defined as a form of existence of matter, having the property length, and time \u2013 as a form of existence of matter, having the property of duration of existence. In theory of relativity an elementary event is described by spatial coordinates and time at which the object in question is in the given spatial point. Consideration of time axis as equivalent axis of reference system was only possible due to the limited speed of light, because the length of the interval of the time axis is determined by the product of speed of light in space and time, must be finite. From this it follows that time axis in its origin is not identical to any one spatial axis, and physical spacetime is not equivalent to any n-dimensional space of geometry. Scale dimension, as well as time, occupies a special position in the determination of a complete physical frame of reference necessary in each case for the solution of theoretical and practical problems.\nRobert Oldershaw considers a discrete self-similar scale relativity, which can be found in the scale dimension as a fundamental principle of symmetry of nature, which extends the principle of general relativity in the study of physical systems.[7] The main levels in the observed world Oldershaw relates atomic, stellar and galactic levels of matter, and in nature must exist not yet observed levels of matter at the micro scale and on the mega scale.\nBetween the levels of matter according to Oldershaw connection can be established in the form of the same factors of similarity in size and time equal to \u039b = 5.2 \u2219 1017, as well as the similarity coefficient in mass X = \u039b D = 1.7 \u2219 10 56, where the exponent D = 3.174. This leads to a difference in the gravitational constant at different levels of matter \u2013 strong gravitational constant at the atomic level, the usual gravitational constant for the level of stars, and assumed to be essentially reduced the value of the gravitational constant for the level of galaxies: m3 \u2022 s\u20132 \u2022 kg\u20131. If to substitute these gravitational constant in the equation for the metric of the Einstein-Hilbert, different results are obtained \u2013 for example, depending on the matter level considered the black hole can be a proton or an appropriate stellar or galactic object.\nOldershaw considers it necessary to extend the principle of relativity in the sense that physical laws should be written so that they depended not only on the position in the geometrical three-dimensional space, from the time, of orientation, motion, and the position of the reference system on a discrete scale ladder matter, but also from the choice of the level of matter at the scale axis . According to him, if between the levels of matter holds the exact cosmological self-similarity (in the immutability of the coefficients of similarity for all levels), physical laws and relatively constant at these levels should be identical.\nWave interpretation\nSergey Sukhonos introduced into consideration the scale axis (M-axis) as a special, fourth spatial dimension, and disposes on it all the objects of the universe.[8] In this case, he discovers that in the arrangement of groups of objects, there is order, corresponding to a logarithmic increase their size. [9] In connection with this Sukhonos makes the assumption that the observed distribution of groups of objects, has its cause harmonic oscillations in four-dimensional space, which generate nodes \u2014 three-dimensional stable systems. To substantiate this point of view are considered the natural oscillations in the form of standing waves in objects of different dimensions, when the length of an object always fits a whole number of waves.\nFig. 1. Vibrations of the string (1-st overtone).\nOne-dimensional case for a string, sandwiched on both sides, is shown in Figure 1. String is linear system, the excitation occurs in the plane, and standing wave node represents a point object. Next will be considered dimension of systems in accordance with the dominant length. If we denote N\u0434 \u2013 the dimension of the motion of the system, Nc \u2013 the dimension of the system, N\u0443 \u2013 the dimension of the system nodes, then for the string can be written:\nSukhonos suggests that (1) is satisfied for all values of Nc. Figure 2 shows two-dimensional (Nc = 2) case in the form of a circular flat membrane.\nFig. 2. The sand on the drum membrane forms rings in the vibrations of the membrane.\nWith vibrations of the membrane on the surface appear linear ring structure (the dimension of the nodes N\u0443 = 1), which seemed to mark the places on the membrane, where there is no movement, representing linear \" nodes\" of standing waves on the plane. You can see that for a string in Figure 1 the oscillations occur perpendicular to the strings, and transverse vibrations in Figure 2 are also perpendicular to the plane of the membrane. On the membrane can be standing waves along the radius in the form of rings, and can assume the wave along the rings themselves. Space of excitation, which is seen in ring structures of antinodes vibrations, is three-dimensional.\nWe now turn from two-dimensional medium to three-dimensional medium (Nc = 3). In this case, the dimension of nodes equals two (flat wall of cell volumes in Figure 3), and the space of excitation must be four-dimensional.\nFig. 3. Vibrations inside the cube give cells with fixed partitions.\nIn his early works Sukhonos analyzed the known idea that the fourth spatial dimension is orthogonal to three-dimensional space. He suggested that the forced pulsation of the three-dimensional volume (Fig. 3), its periodic compression-expansion should lead to a three-dimensional standing waves whose nodes are the walls of cells. To confirm this, he is considering an experiment in which a cubic volume of the liquid saturated with light particles (suspension) is compressed. An example is the cooling liquid metal alloy with different impurities. During the cooling the volume of casting will be compressed from all sides, providing compression orthogonal to three-dimensional space. This alloy during solidification is filled with so-called grains, two-dimensional boundary between which is formed by a suspension of (additives, pores, etc.). These boundaries are two-dimensional nodes of four-dimensional vibration in three-dimensional environment.\nIf to realize an increase in the dimension of the medium to a value of Nc = 4 and create some movement in it, is orthogonal to three-dimensional space, then in the medium will formed nodes whose dimension be equal to three (N\u0443 = N\u0441 \u2013 1 = 4 \u2013 1 = 3). Sukhonos suggests that such nodes can be three-dimensional body whose stability is caused only by the fact that they are nodes of five-dimensional oscillations in the four-dimensional environments. These nodes form a stable three-dimensional world of objects in the Universe, which is a complex superposition of vibrations four-dimensional space. The duration of the existence of systems of the universe, their stability is associated with power of nodes, with the energy of vibrations generating the systems. This implies that the description of the diversity of the universe can be accomplished using the theory of waves and vibrations, but in an environment of higher dimension than hitherto used traditional science.\nThe scale dimension as a structural property\nGalatea of the Spheres, 1952.\nNumber of basic dimensions in physics is determined by the number of degrees of freedom or independent variables that determine the location of the physical body or its elements, considered as points in a given frame of reference. The number of dimensions or degrees of freedom gives the dimension of the used space-time. By adding of scale dimension to four-dimensional space-time, we obtain a five-dimensional manifold, which includes the usual space-time. According to the order of historical understanding it may be written in the form (3+1+1)-space, where in the first place reflects spatial dimensions, and then dimensions of the time and scale. In terms of geometry it is convenient for the axis of all the dimensions to be perpendicular each other.\nAccording to Sergey Fedosin, scale dimension is a manifestation of nesting of matter and a consequence of the transformation of the fundamental forces at different levels of matter. Scale dimension includes a fourth spatial dimension (the transformation of an infinite set of objects by changing the size leads to a new similar set), but also requires conversion of mass and velocity of the processes (the rate of time) in objects when observer is moving from one level of the scale axis to another level. This follows from SP\u0424 symmetry, whereby the physical laws of matter at different levels remain unchanged from the viewpoint of local observer. As a result, there is the scale invariance of physical laws, and the principle of general covariance expands, taking into account the fact that at different levels of matter are different in power of gravity fields. In addition, the relativity of scale dimension leads to what \"correct\" physical equations must be of such form that the scale conversion left them the same at every level of matter.\nIn four-dimensional space-time, simple four-dimensional body can be considered as a body consisting of a set of forms that takes a certain three-dimensional body for a certain period of time.\nModel of a four-dimensional body with regard to the three spatial dimensions and the scale dimension is a set of three-dimensional bodies, located on a specific law on the scale axis. These three-dimensional bodies must change their dimensions in the appropriate size range, set the dimensions of the four-dimensional body. Incision of four-dimensional body at some point of the scale-axis shows three-dimensional body as the cross section of the scale-axis. More precisely, in point of the section should be three-dimensional image of half the three-dimensional body (to see the rest of the body is necessary to turn and look at it from the other side). In place of the cross section one can also imagine a projection of three-dimensional image of the half body on one side of the plane of the section. Similarly, a model of three-dimensional body is a discrete or continuous set of closely interrelated surfaces, together giving an image of this body, and the section of the body gives a surface. Relationship between three-dimensional bodies in this four-body can be defined by the similarity theory (see similarity of matter levels). Division by cutting three-dimensional body into pieces and carrying of these parts in space does not mean the loss of three-dimensional body, it begins to exist in a new form and even has the opportunity to build back to its original state. Four-dimensional body can be thought as a separated individual three-dimensional bodies, in various configurations or when an assembly take place, occurs one or another four-dimensional form.\nThe trivial case is possible when the scale axis is combined with one of the usual spatial dimensions. In this case, the instantaneous transfer of three-dimensional body along the axis of the spatial-scale dimension gives a trace in the form of a degenerate four-dimensional body. Outwardly, it looks as though three-dimensional body is disproportionately altered in some spatial direction, elongated, compressed, warping, bends, twists, etc. In painting, there are works that reflect similar experiments with three-dimensional space. Scale change can be represented as a contraction of three-dimensional body in a certain direction until the transformation of the body in the plane, with subsequent expansion in the opposite direction to the isomeric form of three-dimensional body. Thus it turns out the body, turned inside out, which left replaced by right.\nIntroduction of time increases the number of dimensions to five. If scale dimension is considered, taking into account the time in the volume of space where there is a three-, four-or five-dimensional body, we can trace the change of the scaling properties (volume, mass, material composition and other properties of the body) as a function of time.\nFrom the physical point of view scale dimension can not come down simply to the spatial proportional changes in body shape and volume. If there is a small wooden model of a multistory building, then is constructed in the full-size building can not exist, because of its weight, it will crush the lower floors. The reason for this is that with the increase of size the mass increases in proportion to the cube of this size, that is much faster. This implies that similar to each other bodies at different levels of matter can not consist of one and the same substance in the same state. Properties of the material should be such that at every level of matter to ensure the existence of objects. As a rule, as the size of the objects in the transition from one level to another matter is increasing, there is a reduction of the density of objects and of the characteristic speed of its matter. [1] Latter can be understood as a slowing of speed of time of similar processes. For example, the larger-sized objects, the longer it takes them one revolution around its axis of rotation, longer lasting other typical processes.\nWhen we moving deeper into the matter is found the opposite trend. Thus, the nucleons at the atomic level of matter are analogues of neutron stars in the star level of matter, and the average density of the nucleons over the matter density of neutron stars (6.1\u2219 1017 kg/m3 and 3.7 \u2219 1017 kg/m3, respectively). Characteristic speed of the matter of the nucleons is the speed of light m/s, and for the matter of neutron stars, the characteristic speed is m/s. These speeds are determined so that with their help, according to mass\u2013energy equivalence, it was possible to determine the full energy of the corresponding object: for a proton with the mass the absolute value of full energy is , and for a neutron star with the mass the same energy is . If neutron stars are composed of more dense nucleons then nucleons must consist of more dense particles of matter than the nucleons themselves.\nIn accordance with a change in physical properties of matter at different levels of matter there is also changing the existing forces. If at the level of planets and stars the main force is gravity, forming the spherical shape of bodies and control their motion near each other, then at the atomic level the same role is played by strong gravitation. In this case, strong gravitational constant is by many orders higher than the normal gravitational constant.\nThe hierarchy of space-based systems is that they are grouped in separate scales, located about equidistant from each other on a logarithmic scale sizes. This implies similarity of matter levels, when between the various levels similarity relations are derived not only in size but also in the masses, in the speed of similar processes and in other physical parameters. Consequence of the similarity are the stellar constants, discreteness of stellar parameters, hydrogen system, quantization of parameters of cosmic systems, gravitational model of strong interaction, the substantial models of neutron, proton and electron.\nThanks to the nesting of certain matter levels in another levels the more massive objects are composed of particles of lower levels of matter. This leads to the relationship of characteristics of objects and states of matter, as well as the symmetry between the properties of particles of matter and the properties of objects, which is manifested through the relationship of similarity. In this case may be found the basic and intermediate levels of matter. At the basic levels of matter current fundamental forces, gravitation and electromagnetic forces, reach a maximum. At the same time the density of matter objects increasing; the gravitational force of attraction at first oppose the electromagnetic force, and then strong interaction. Examples here include:\nNormal main sequence stars with matter which is thermally ionized plasma; the pressure of the plasma counteracts gravitation.\nWhite dwarfs, which are composed of a degenerated plasma, and gravitation is opposed to the Fermi pressure of electrons.\nNeutron stars, consisting of a neutron liquid, in which according to gravitational model of strong interactions the convergence of neutrons increases their force of repulsion from each other by gravitational torsion fields (gravitomagnetic fields in gravitomagnetism).\nThe role of weak interaction reduces to the fact that under the action of the fundamental forces and the strong interaction of objects after their formation take place a slow transformation of matter. For example, a neutron in a very large time by the standards of atomic processes turns into a proton, an electron and a neutrino. The transformation of the matter can be significantly accelerated by external factors. Thus, the incident on an elementary particle a neutrino can easily convert the matter of the particle and cause it to decay into other particles.\nFrom the described is seen that the realization and manifestation of the scale dimension in nature can be represented as an infinite scaling ladders with steps \u2013 the levels of matter, which contain all known objects of the universe. In this case, similar objects at different levels are not simple enlarged or reduced copies of each other, as distinguished by their matter and its properties, and rate of the time. At the highest step of the scale space ladder we are seeing large galactic system and Metagalaxy, behind which must be placed even larger objects. At the bottom the elementary particles are discovered, still hypothetical partons and preons, as well as other smaller carriers of matter. In particular, the particles of which must consist of nucleons, is given the name praons.[10]\nThe scale dimension characterizes the nesting levels of matter as a structural feature that specifies the order of material objects, adjusting their properties. There is a law of philosophy of breeding structures, which is formulated as follows: [11]\n\"Structures are contained in the essence of things and events and determined their quality, have mechanisms of reproduction, resulting in maintaining the integrity of these structures and distribution them through other things and objects. \"\nAnother philosophical law describes the similarity of the carriers on different scale levels of the matter:\n\"Carrier distribution in mass (in size, while others related to the mass parameters) take place according to the law of geometric progression, highlighting at each step of the characteristic and dominant carriers, the major carriers and their satellites, and between carriers in separate steps, and between whole sets of steps are observed ratio similarity.\"\nStability of large-scale staircase of matter as a manifestation of the structure of nested levels of matter derives from the very method of formation of new material objects is dynamic in nature and is a consequence of multiple interactions of matter particles and field quanta. On the one hand, the disparate pieces of matter pulled together by gravitational forces and form a dense matter of new massive objects. With the growth of the mass of the objects in them is growing internal pressure increases the energy of the particles, which leads to a change in state of matter. At a basic level of matter occurs balance between the inflow and outflow of mass at the objects. This is illustrated by the massive main sequence stars, which are due to the high temperature emit huge amounts of energy and losing mass due to the expiration of the matter, thereby compensating inflow of matter from the outside. For neutron stars are also detected a slight variation of their mass, since the incident upon them matter \"sprayed\" in thermonuclear flashes. Apparently, neutron stars, as stellar analogs of the neutron, and magnetars, as analogues of protons have a maximum density which is attainable in stable objects under normal gravitation (the same should be for the nucleons and the strong gravitation).\nOn the other hand, the theory of infinite hierarchical nesting of matter predicts that the quanta of the gravitational field are produced mainly in the processes associated with the formation and transformation of matter of objects at the basic levels of matter. Thus, the formation of neutron stars in supernova explosion accompanies powerful neutrino emission. Neutron stars and magnetars can emit jets; they are sources of X-rays and gamma rays, as well as cosmic rays. The same is true for nucleons \u2013 they emit a neutrino, fluxes of matter and electromagnetic radiation. All these radiations may be part of gravitons, the carriers of the gravitational field in the Le Sage's theory of gravitation. Calculations show, based on the energy density flux of gravitons that the source of gravitons for normal gravity are the emission of particles at two or even three main levels lower than the star.[12]\nThus, the fundamental fields forming objects at different levels of matter, and these objects in turn generate photons of fundamental fields, already operating at higher scale levels of matter. With regard to the objects of intermediate levels of matter, they are formed not only by the action of the fundamental forces, but also in the process of interaction of objects with each other or with the increase in mass, or the disintegration into smaller components. Thus, during the formation of planets of Solar System in numerous clashes occurred a separation between the planets, moons, asteroids, meteorites, comets, cosmic dust and micrometeorites, and these objects have taken some scale niches in mass and size. Analysis of these niches shows that the objects in them to the masses and sizes relate to each other in a geometric progression, and the transition between niches take place by the law of transition from quantity to quality. [11] In each niche can be allocated specific major carriers, standard carriers and the boundary points of action, in which objects become unstable under existing conditions.\nScale dimension describes not only the natural physical or chemical related objects, but also suitable for describing of the living beings. It turns out that living beings and carriers of life faithfully replicate key features of objects of different levels of matter, since arranged at the same levels of matter in relation to their size and mass.[13]\nLike other carriers of matter, living beings can form an infinite nesting of levels of living, so that in every organism, there are many levels with the appropriate living carriers at these levels. Living matter is a complex interplay of living and nonliving, and the living is clearly governs and dominates the inanimate. In turn, the inanimate has living inside, but apparently not in the manifest, in a weak form. Evolution of living in scale dimension is not only the progress in space and time, but also the transformation of the structure of the living in order to adapt to the changing conditions of existence of the new scales.\nStudy of scale dimension and objects belonging to it is engaged in the theory of Infinite Hierarchical Nesting of Matter. This theory presents itself as an interdisciplinary systems science and part of systems theory, which deals with the space systems of various scales. Discovering of scale dimension for scientific research is not just pushing the horizons of science,[14] but also allows us to find previously unknown patterns in physics and mathematics. [15] The detection of direct links between micro, macro and mega-worlds of our universe allows us to understand its evolution as the evolution of hierarchically nested levels of matter, to clarify the picture of the world, [16] and to include in the scientific thinking new concepts and lines of development. From a practical point of view the substantial models of elementary particles built on the base of the theory of similarity, can make significant and necessary complement to the quantum mechanics and the theory of elementary particles, which can lead to useful results in physics and in technology.\nNew opportunities are created in biology as the science about life and living beings. Living beings can be understood as the active open systems with an infinite nesting of living systems inside and deep inner sources of ordering, which dictate behavior, and ensure the functioning of such systems. The expansion of the living can take place both within the same level of matter (moving in uninhabited territory), and by moving to new levels of matter. Last inevitably requires adjustment of the living forms of existence, since a large increase in the size of the habitat make problems with the integrity of the entire system in the environment and the slowdown resource allocation processes. Knowledge of the existence strategy and of the evolution of living is quite important for the development of humanity as a whole.\nIn medicine, science has come to ensure that at the genetic level to reproduce clones of living organisms from a single genetic material and correct gene to cure some diseases. It is also planned to use genetic methods to protect against dangerous micro-organisms and viruses. However, as it follows from the theory of infinite hierarchical nesting of matter, must exist such creatures whose size is much smaller than prions, the smallest of the currently known particles of the living. In this case, the disease may be associated with these creatures and finding of it is beyond the capabilities of modern medicine. To study these living particles now known nanotechnology should be replaced by even more powerful research methods.\nBlavatskaja, Elena Petrovna (1888), The secret doctrine, Theosophical Publ.

Tolerance is a requirement.\nAnything else is considered right-wing extremism.\nConsidered by whom?\nRight wing extremists? ;)\n(Guy, don't hate me because I can grow this much hair in my mid-40s.)\nI don't hate you. I question your inconsistency over the months through.\nAnd I have a full head of hair also. It's just turning white as I cross over into the second half of my century of life.\nThat will confuse Guy.\nContemporary modern day liberalism.\nYour response does not answer the question, \"liberalism\" is a political philosophy, an abstract concept, and incapable of considering anything. Assuming you meant \"contemporary modern day liberals\", how did you establish that members of this group holds the beliefs that you assert they hold? Do you believe that the SF Mayor and the SF Board of Supervisors are not \"contemporary modern day liberals\"?\nIt does answer the question, except you are falling into your normal habit of picking apart words that mean certain things to you but fail to realize they may mean other things to other people. Most people I know read for context, not for narrow rules defined by the small group of people in their short lives. They realize that education has not been perfectly standardized across different counties, states and countries.\nYou know, when you do that, you are demonstrating a certain amount of intolerance, which is unacceptable by modern day contemporary liberals.\nBut to further clarify what I said earlier:\nApparently wagging one's pierced phrenum in the streets of San Francisco is currently stepping over the current contemporary line when it comes to freedom and rights to live one's life as they please, so the SF Mayor and the SF Board are getting a little bit of pressure from their constituents to put a stop to it. This is inhibiting rights and freedoms. According to modern contemporary liberalism (or liberals, if you prefer so as to put it ON someone), this is considered right-wing extremism. When ever someone tries to tell someone else how to live their lives, it's right-wing extremism.\nI asked \"considered by whom?\", deliberately putting it on someone or some group of people. Liberalism is a \"what\" not a \"whom\". If \"whom\" means anything else to you, you might benefit from a refresher course in English language.\nYou again conjure this group of \"modern contemporary liberals\", though fail to show that you have any basis to suppose they believe any of the things you say, i.e. you failed to answer \"how did you establish that members of this group holds the beliefs that you assert they hold?\". Until such time as you are able to provide evidence to support your view of people that subscribe to contemporary liberal beliefs, your argument that such people consider any limits to personal freedoms a form of right wing extremism will remain, like many of your arguments, a straw man.\nbobby, it appears you don't watch any network news.

Groups may also be fiercely nationalistic (as opposed to universal and international in orientation), anti-global, suspicious of centralized federal authority, reverent of individual liberty, and believe in conspiracy theories that involve grave threat to national sovereignty and/or personal liberty.\nAre you sure you weren't watching right wing extremists proudly proclaim one of their core beliefs?\n[/ETA]\nThe best way out of the deficit hole is to grow our way out through private sector economic growth. The main engine of economic growth is small business. After all, small business accounts for about 60% of the private sector jobs.

If that figure of $250k stands, it will eviscerate small business.\nYou seem very sure of that assertion, but you offer no substantiation, neither fact nor argument, only more assertions and unsolicited advice. If income tax rates of 39.6% on individual income over $200,000 or household income over $250,000 is such a guaranteed disaster, then why was economic growth so much better the last time those exact rates were in effect than it has been since George Walker Bush lowered the top marginal tax rate?\nAs Bobby likes to say, I think you'll find that the facts are not as simplistic as your narrative. Or words to that effect.\nIn the past, I have suggested across the board spending cuts of x%. This would avoid a lot of debates and arguing about various sacred cow programs, and likely be easier to get passed. Then let each social program decide whether to reduce benefit size, tighten eligibility, or some combination of both. If we exempt some programs from cuts that will require even more massive cuts in others, maybe even eliminating them altogether. And remember, the programs you would wish to be cut deeply or eliminated to save your sacred cow program will be someone else's sacred cow.\nWould that also include agricultural subsidies, oil and coal subsidies, and military expenditures to private contractors? Or do you only demand sacrifice from individuals, some of whose lives certainly depend on the safety net?",

        "raw_content": "Information About Negligent Supervision Laws and Personal Injury Claims\nIn personal injury cases, if a person or child is injured under the care of another, there might be claims of negligent supervision. Negligent supervision is a term that refers to the act of failing to responsibly watch over or take care of a child, person, or group of people. The most common victims of negligent supervision injuries and accidents are children and elderly, but really anyone can sustain a personal injury resulting from negligent supervision. Continue reading to learn more about negligent supervision claims, and who to call if you believe you or a loved one might have recently endured personal injuries as a result of this kind of carelessness.\nWhen we hire a service or person to watch over, babysit, or care for a loved one, we don\u2019t anticipate that something will go wrong, or that a loved one will be injured while under appointed care. Fortunately, the law does anticipate this scenario, which is why there are laws in place that protect individuals and families from such misfortunes. In the case that someone with a legal obligation to supervise your child or loved one fails to do so responsibly, like a babysitter or nursing home, they can be held liable for a victim\u2019s injuries and damages. The law allows victims, or families of victims, to pursue a negligent supervision claim against the guilty party.\nIn the Case of Children\nMost negligent supervision claims concern children. When it comes negligent supervision of children, there are two chief scenarios in which a claim would be considered valid. First, if someone legally obligated to watch a child and fails to do so, resulting in injury to the child, a claim might be valid. Also, if that person fails to responsibly supervise a child, and that child causes damage to itself, the home, or the property as a result, a claim is most likely valid. Common places for cases like this to arise are daycare facilities, youth camps, school, church, or a person\u2019s home. Everyone from coaches and teachers, to babysitters, nannies, and more can be a negligent supervisor.\nElderly Cases\nCases involving the elderly and negligent supervision are tricky because if it happens in a nursing home, it is also a nursing home neglect case. In this same case, a third\u2013party lawsuit might be necessary. Aside from nursing homes, there are several other instances when an elderly individual can become a victim of negligent supervision. Just like a child, if a person is appointed to take care of or watch over a senior citizen, and fails to do so responsibly, they can be held liable for the elderly\u2019s injuries and subsequent damages.\nAs mentioned earlier, anyone aside from children and elderly can be victims as well. For example, employers have a responsibility to supervise their staffs and ensure everyone is practicing safe and healthy work ethic. If an employee is sexually assaulted by another during a time that these employees should have been supervised, the employer can be held liable for the victim\u2019s damages and traumas. This also includes violent acts, threats, bullying, discrimination, and more.\nReal Estate Law in Romania\nIf you are looking to buy a holiday or second home or invest in Romania, Transylvania or at the Black Sea and you are a foreign citizen/investor, there are few aspects you should know about the procedure an the costs for the acquisition of Romanian land or Romanian houses.\nAfter 2012, foreign citizens EU citizens (non-Romanian) may purchase a home or apartment in Romania may freely buy and sell any Romanian property, without restrictions. Along with the sell price for the property, buying real estate in Romania has other costs associated with it.\nIf you have chosen to collaborate with a Romanian real estate agent/ broker you can expect to have an additional commission of approximately of the price of the property. The local tax will be of the price of the property. The signing of a contract must be witnessed by a public notary who submits it for certification by the Land Registry in charge of real estate records. The fees for the Romanian public notary is about of the purchase price. You will also have to pay fees to the Land Registry (\u201cCartea Funciara\u201d) to register the Transfer Deed. The Romanian Land Registry Fee for a purchase of a property will vary from according to the length of time that the seller had owned the property and the property\u2019s value.\nThe Romanian law on property states that Citizens of EU member states, legal persons incorporated in the EU member states and stateless people domiciled in an EU member state can purchase land in Romania only if the land is used for secondary residences or for secondary headquarters after a 5 (five) years term from the accession of Romania to the EU (starting with January 1st, 2012); only for the agricultural land and forest land 7 (seven) years term from the accession of Romania to the EU ( starting with January 1st, 2014).\nBut for the Citizens, legal persons and stateless people not from a EU member state, the Romanian legal system establishes that they can purchase land in Romania, under the conditions of international treaties between Romania and the states of origin on these persons, under a reciprocity basis.\nIn our point of view, a prudent investor will hire a Romanian lawyer/ a Romanian Law Office, who will liaise closely with the notary on the verification of the title, obtaining the Land Registry excerpt and the drafting of the agreement for the transfer of ownership of the real estate. This means that the Romanian lawyer will be solely acting for and is responsible to his or her client, whereas the notary will not have the same degree of responsibility to the purchaser.\nUnder Romanian law there are three basic rights to land and buildings such as right of ownership; usage rights as lease, usufruct, superficies; concession right. The principle of contractual liberty represents the key core of the property law in Romania.\nSometimes, an investor/purchaser can opt for closing a pre-sale agreement, by which the seller undertakes to transfer ownership to the buyer at a certain date in exchange for an agreed consideration. The content of the pre-sale contract will stipulate all commercial and legal conditions for the transfer of ownership, as conditions precedent to the final transfer of ownership. The closing of such pre-contract for purchase does not means the transfer over the property, but the stipulate binding obligations for the parties, in regard to, as example, damages or penalties set out in them, if the seller refuses to sign the final notarized deed of transfer at the agreed deadline.\nThe closing of the pre-sale agreement is to protect the investor/buyer from any possible purchase to other buyers and to matters regarding the fixed price and duration of a future purchase. In our point of view, it is a must that the pre-sale agreement to be concluded at a Public Notary and clearly stipulate the sale price and other clauses regarding duration of future purchase. In this case, it can be enforced in court on the buyer\u2019s request as a deed to transfer ownership.\nA sale agreement signed in Romania, according to the Romanian legislation will mandatory stipulate: obligations of the parties for the fulfillment of the sale contract, delivery and quality conditions of goods and/or services, terms, payment methods and payment guarantees, payment instruments and price insurance, contractual risk, as well as method of solving eventual litigations arising from the contract. Other required elements include the full name and identification details of the parties (for legal entities) and name of the person signing the contract (representing a legal entity).\nDuties of a Divorce Lawyer\nA divorce lawyer is the one that people see to help them with the legal ending of their marriage. Both the husband and wife will need to justify and validate their reasons for the divorce and why they are no longer living together as husband and wife. The lawyer will have the evidence that supports their client\u2019s claim. In cases where the marriage has broken down on hostile grounds the divorce lawyer will need to prove that the complaints being filed by their client is valid. This is especially true if they are claiming they have been assaulted by their spouse, the marriage was violent, danger to the children, or infidelity.\nIn addition to pleading their client\u2019s case in court there are other duties that a divorce lawyer has to do before even getting to court. These can include:\n\u2022 Interviewing their client and getting all the necessary information from them. A divorce lawyer has to know the divorce case in detail and not be judgmental and completely biased toward their client. This is necessary to ensure that their client wins.\n\u2022 Having to complete all the paperwork that is necessary and getting documentation of proof to be submitted to family court.\n\u2022 Creating a statement that states all the testimony, demands, arguments, and allegations from their client.\n\u2022 Formulating a draft or motion of evidence so they can prove the contentions in the divorce case.\n\u2022 Attending the court sessions when called upon for the hearing date for the divorce case.\n\u2022 Determining the ratio in how any alimony or child support payments are to be made and how the property is to be divided. When it is a \u201cat fault\u201d divorce, which is when either the husband or wife is guilty of the breakup of the marriage the guilty party will either receive no payment from the other party or they will have to pay more to the other party.\nHaving a divorce lawyer is usually necessary in a mutually mediated divorce, which is when both parties have come to terms with the procedure of separation. They have also agreed to accept the conditions and terms that relate to support and maintenance, property division, child care, and alimony payments. As a divorce lawyer it is their responsibility to inform their client about the different rights they have according to the law and how they use their rights to favor their case in court.\nTo become a divorce lawyer you will need to have a bachelor\u2019s degree, graduate law school with a Juris Doctorate degree, and then pass the Bar exam and LSAT.\nHow Husbands Can Protect Themselves Against Financial Claims in a Divorce Case\nThis being one of the most important questions asked by many who face the dilemma of divorce proceedings. Based on our experience, we have summarized a few of the commonly used ploys used by husbands against their wives, while we have represented the wives.\n1. Obtaining Loans\nThe first thought running through a husband\u2019s claim is how to minimize the financial judgment at the time of the divorce is to attempt to take loans, including credit cards, personal loans, mortgages, credit lines, car financing, etc. this results in the increase of their liability and they try to prove to the judge that due to their liabilities, they are unable to pay a financial claim raised by the wife. The judge is required to look at the assets and liabilities of the husband prior to declaring the settlement amount.\n1a. Issues\nThere are a few issues with this tactic used by the husbands and it is fair to say that deploying this is not helpful or in their favor. In this respect, the court looks at a few things. Firstly, they look at the nature of the loan and can decide that this loan was not taken out of necessity but as a luxury. Such liabilities have little effect on the settlement amount. Secondly the judge also look at the timing of the liability. If the liability was undertaken after the divorce proceedings or dispute, then that makes the husband\u2019s case very weak since the court could have reservation regarding the intent of the loan. Due to these factors, obtaining loans to increase liability does not work in practice. Moreover the rate of expenses and the standard of life prior to filing the case is take under consideration to show the husband\u2019s actual income.\n2. Declaring a lower income\nHusbands commonly adopt this tactic to declare lower income in order to not make a settlement payment to their wives in the event of a divorce. He can do this verbally by telling the court that his salary is a certain amount, which in reality is more. He can also do this by refusing to provide a salary certificate showing his income.\nThere are a few issues in this tactic.\na. Firstly, the court has the authority to demand a salary certificate from the husband and the husband must comply with the judge\u2019s order. The court can demand the salary certificate directly from the employer of the husband as well, should the judge need to do so upon the wife\u2019s request.\nb. In the second instance, the judge can authorize the wife to obtain his income report and the breakdown of his salary and other receivables from his work or from the bank. Additionally, the wife has the right to request the bank statements of the previous year. Shortly, the court has a few ways by which the husband\u2019s income can be verified. Hence, it is safe to say that any attempts to hide the income of the husband are unlikely to succeed.\n3. Spending money on other family members\nThis tactic results in the husband\u2019s spending money for maintaining other members of his family by transferring money to the other family members in the presence of a witness.\nThe logic behind this ploy is that according to the law, the man of the family is required to pay towards the maintenance of his parents and younger siblings if they need his financial support. The total family case expenses should not exceed 40% of this income. The woman is normally given up to 25%. In our experience, it has shown that this practice can lower the wife\u2019s settlement by 5%-10%.\n4. Attempt to invalidate the jurisdiction\nIt is also not an uncommon practice to try to cancel the wife\u2019s residence visa in order to invalidate the jurisdiction of a UAE court to adjudicate on the divorce. This happens when the wife is sponsored by the husband and has filed the case against him. It is a requirement of a divorce that the claimant must be residents of the UAE and by cancelling the wife\u2019s visa, the husband tries to invalidate the divorce on a technicality as the claimant is not a resident anymore.\nThere are a few problems with this approach that might make this difficult for the husband. Firstly, it is the discretion of the immigration department if they cancel the wife\u2019s visa whilst the case is ongoing or not. Should they chose to not cancel the wife\u2019s visa, there is very little that the husband can do to challenge that decision.\nSecondly, the judge has the discretionary power to ignore this point and continue the divorce in the UAE courts. This makes the scenario difficult for the husband and this tactic is not a reliable one and is known to not work in the UAE courts due to the discretionary powers allotted to the judges in these matters.\nThe wife can get a work visa if she is employed or open a free zone company in order to sponsor herself and get an investor visa, or she also has the option to apply for a 6 months humanitarian visa.\n5. Fabricating a criminal case against the wife\nAn attempt by the husband to fabricate a criminal case against the wife is the worst action that a husband can take with potentially dangerous consequences. In these cases, the husband opens a false criminal complaint against the wife in order to pressurize her to settle and try to get that advantage. Criminal proceedings are very serious offences in the UAE with strict jail sentences and even deportation.\nIf the wife can prove that the charge against her was fabricated with bad faith, she could in-turn have a claim against her husband for the criminal charge of False Criminal complaint according to the UAE Penal Code Article 275 and 276 of the UAE Penal Code of 1987.\nThe criminal case can be followed by a civil case for compensation after the criminal judgment. Hence it is advised that husbands should not wrongfully accuse their wives of any criminal charges especially if they are no supported by evidence. Also, the wives need not worry as long as they know they have not breached the law\n6. Proving the wife\u2019s income\nHusband also try to prove that the wife\u2019s income is more than theirs and try to argue the fact that they should not be made to pay any amounts towards the settlement. They also demand a settlement from the wife on the basis of the wife\u2019s high salary.\nSuch claims never work as they are against the principles of Shariah Law. Under Shariah Law, the husband is financially, fully responsible for the wife\u2019s living and expenses and maintenance. This is regardless of the financial standing of the wife and her income. It will be prudent to mention here that any monies paid by the wife towards the maintenance of her house, herself or the kids can be demanded by the wife in a divorce settlement. These amounts can be backdated to 3 years and if there is enough proof of these expenses, the court always directs the husband to reimburse the wife in full.\nPre & Post Marriage Detectives\nToday, finding a good girl or boy for marriage is as difficult task as finding a mine of gold. Those days were gone when you have all the information related to the boy or girl with whom you are marrying on your figure tips along with their relatives.

        "raw_content": "Home > Cultural Exchange > Cultural Feast\nSocial enterprise Food Playground introduces foreign guests to Singapore\u2019s culinary tradition through cooking classes conducted by stay-at-home mothers and seniors.\nPHOTOS FOOD PLAYGROUND\nFood Playground\u02bcs cooking classes are conducted in a fun and informal setting.\noining a cooking class is probably not the first thing that comes to mind when one visits a new city.\nYet, at Singapore social enterprise Food Playground, tourists are, literally and figuratively, getting a taste of multicultural Singapore through its food.\nStarted in 2012 by Daniel Tan, who spent over a decade in the travel and hospitality industry, Food Playground offers cooking classes to help participants better appreciate Singapore\u2019s food heritage and traditions, including how the cuisines of its different ethnic groups blend together to form its food culture. It also runs team-building cooking programmes for companies, educational institutions and government agencies.\n\u201cI thought I knew a bit about Singapore food before I went to the class, but I was surprised to learn a lot more about the food and culture, and a little history\u2026I have great affection for your country and the locals, so this only deepens this affection.\u201d\nTania Boylen, Food Playground participant\nAbout 40 per cent of its annual average of 4,000 cooking class participants are tourists who find out about it via the Internet. The rest are local expatriates and corporate clients on team-building exercises.\nSix mornings a week, Food Playground runs its signature Cultural Cooking Class out of a conservation shophouse in Singapore\u2019s Chinatown. The three-hour class starts with a 30-minute introduction to the historical and cultural background of Singapore and its food, after which participants learn how to make three or four local dishes from scratch.\nTo date, Food Playground has hosted participants from over 60 countries, such as the United States and the United Kingdom, cooking dishes such as laksa (spicy noodle soup), Hainanese chicken rice and satay (grilled meat skewers). Beyond imparting culinary skills, Food Playground\u2019s Singaporean instructors also share personal stories and littleknown facts about the country.\nAustralian Tania Boylen, a participant, says that she learnt how Singapore\u2019s culturally diverse cuisine is influenced by Malay, Chinese and Indian elements. She adds: \u201cI thought I knew a bit about Singapore food before I went to the class, but I was surprised to learn a lot more about the food and culture, and a little history.\n\u201cAs to how it affected my perspective, I have great affection for your country and the locals, so this only deepens this affection.\u201d\nAnother participant, American Hector Valdes, adds: \u201dWe did a city tour and saw a lot of sights, but I think in three hours at Food Playground, we got more of a feel of the local culture than we did in 10 hours in the heat.\u201d\nClaire Jessiman, who is from the United Kingdom and runs a food blog (www.foodiequine.co.uk), says: \u201cThe cooking class really opened my eyes to the whole food culture of Singapore\u2026\nIt was the perfect introduction to the cuisine at the start of my stay, and gave me some fantastic pointers as to where and what to eat during my time in Singapore.\u201d\nTo ensure an intimate learning and bonding experience, the class size is kept to 12 participants per class. This means a lot of opportunities for them to interact and share experiences. Says Tan: \u201cConversation topics can evolve from cooking methods and ingredients to eating habits, lifestyle, bread-and-butter issues and even politics!\u201d\nFood Playground also provides flexi-work employment opportunities for stay-at-home mothers and active seniors with limited means to return to the workforce. It currently employs six stay-at-home mothers and active seniors as cooking instructors, and two seniors as kitchen helpers and cleaners.\nParticipants learning to make spring rolls.\nFor instructors, being part of Food Playground helps them regain their self-esteem and confidence. Tan says they have much to offer in terms of local knowledge and culinary passion. \u201cUnlike trained chefs who tend to focus on cooking techniques using a more instructional and formal teaching style, these women are very good listeners and storytellers, so they are able to forge close emotional connections and deliver more immersive learning experiences to the participants,\u201d he adds.\nNow that Food Playground has found success in its social mission, it is ready to widen its horizons. Says Tan: \u201cWe plan to expand our services by launching two new food trail experiences that will create as many as 10 new flexi-work jobs specifically for stay-at-home mums and active seniors here in the next three years.\u201d",

Stevenson High School. As a violinist, she has received scholarships from the Music Institute of Chicago and the Summer Portals program at the Hotchkiss School and has performed for individuals such as Pope Benedict XVI, Prince Lobkowicz of Prague, and Justin Timberlake. Currently, she is a member of the school orchestra, Student Council and field hockey team and is a principal violinist in the Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestra. In her free time, Monet likes to read and write.\nPrithvi Ramesh is a senior at Rolling Meadows High School. He was born in India, as were his parents. He is actively involved in his school business club, DECA, in addition to peer counseling, NHS, and Varsity Tennis. In his spare time he likes to follow current events, watch sports and play an Indian percussion instrument called the tabla.\nAnvesh Jalasutram is a Junior at Adlai E. Stevenson High School and an intern at Advanced Neurodiagnostics under Dr. Phillip Epstein. He enjoys participating in the Illinois Science Fair, researching topics including solar panels, disease-inducing protozoa, and cancer. In the future, Anvesh aims to become a doctor specializing in neuroscience.\nMichael Kolman was born on July 8th, 1994. His parents grew up in Odessa, Ukraine and immigrated to the United States in 1978. He is majoring in Nutrition at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign and he dreams of being a doctor one day. In his spare time, he does Krav Maga (Israeli combat fighting), plays tennis, and loves to paint.\nNeli Farahmandpour is a rising senior at Adlai E. Stevenson High School. She has held an interest in medicine ever since the fifth grade. Neli has greatly enjoyed the opportunity to do research this past summer with Dr. Epstein and her fellow peer interns. In her free time she enjoys reading, watching documentaries, and debating current events with her friends. She is excited to apply to colleges soon, and hope to one day become a cardiologist.\nThe study was comprised of 11 patients, aged 20-60, who suffered from psychologically or physically induced cognitive deficiencies. We evaluated their lifestyles according to the surveys they were given at the beginning of their treatment period. Their responses reflected their family history, upbringing, education, job history, and previous substance abuse. Due to the fact that the patients\u2019 responses to the survey cover a wide spectrum of lifestyle factors, this experiment is relevant to some degree to most people within the aforementioned age range.\nThe experiment includes patients undergoing Neurofeedback treatment. To conduct the experiment, we recorded data from the patients\u2019 examination history, including their qEEG (Quantitative Electroencephalography) brain scans, MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scans, IVA (Integrated Visual and Auditory) tests, TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) tests, SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography) scans, and PET (Positron Emission Tomography) scans. We compiled the patients\u2019 data and analyzed it to gauge their improvement throughout the course of their treatment and the effectiveness of Neurofeedback. Results show that the more often patients went into the office for therapy, the more they improved. In addition, the more enthusiastic and open-minded for treatment the patient was, the more balanced their brain and the more consistent their brain waves were as a result of treatment. Moreover, patients that had other psychological systems of support such as a coach, therapist, or psychiatrist, were better able to cope with the stressors of daily lives and were thus better able to respond to Neurofeedback.\nUnfortunately, as this experiment only covered a single facet of each patients\u2019 lives, we were not able to track the patients\u2019 diets, exercise routines, and sleep schedules along with their other lifestyle habits. As a result, further research can be done to augment the effectiveness of Neurofeedback. Nonetheless, our research provided strong and conclusive evidence that suggests that Neurofeedback is an effective form of treatment for psychological and physiological disorders in anyone who has the desire to improve his or her brain activity.\nS.P.A.R.K Program Website\nPictures taken from a museum tour given to Dr. Epstein and his students - July 16, 2014\nStudents viewing AnatLab\nDr. Epstein and students viewing AnatLab\nStudents interacting with exhibits",

        "title": "Top 10 Ways the Obama Regime Resembles the Evil Empire from Star Wars | Stillness in the Storm",
        "raw_content": "Top 10 Ways the Obama Regime Resembles the Evil Empire from Star Wars\nThe following article is a bit sensational in its approach, but still has some interesting nuggets of information.\nFor example, look at the following quote by Obama:\n\"I've got a pen and I've got a phone. And I can use that pen to sign executive orders and take executive actions and administrative actions that move the ball forward ...\"\nIn my view, he is saying the president can overrule acts of congress. Granted congress is no assembly of saints, but in principle the only way for a president to wield power in this capacity is under martial law conditions. If we compare these actions to other historical figures, then dictators such as Hitler, Stalin and Ceaser come to mind. But I think it's also important to note that Obama is probably just one cog in a very large machine of power.\nRelated Empowering Lessons In Star Wars | The Plot of Star Wars Teaches History And What Happens When We Choose Fear\nWith the release of the new Star Wars: The Force Awakens film, many are analyzing the plight of the rebel cause and the Evil Empire portrayed in the film \u2013 the latter of which closely resembles the kind of world President Obama and his Marxist allies would like to see.\nWith that in mind, then, here are the 10 ways in which the Obama administration resembles the \"fictional\" Star Wars Empire:\n1. Obama as Lord of the universe. Mr. \"I've Got A Pen And A Phone\" has often made it clear quite that if he had his way, he would rule completely \u2013 without Congress or the federal courts stopping him. After Republicans won the largest legislative majority since the Civil War, Obama, on a tantrum, dismissed them as a petulant tyrant would, and vowed defiance, saying, \"We're not just going to be waiting for legislation in order to make sure that we're providing Americans the kind of help they need. I've got a pen and I've got a phone. And I can use that pen to sign executive orders and take executive actions and administrative actions that move the ball forward ...\"\n2. Imperial president. Obama's executive actions on immigration and \"climate change,\" \u2013 in violation of federal law \u2013 as well as the manner in which the then-Democratic majority in the Senate helped him ram through sycophantic judges on the DC Circuit \u2013 the federal courts that decide the constitutionality of his regulations \u2013 are exactly the actions an Imperial Emperor would take.\n3. Yes, the regulations. Obama, as emperor-wannabe, ignores the Legislative Branch, and uses his pen and phone to pass executive orders, which have the full weight of law.\n4. Opposing good. In Star Wars there is a Dark Side, established in opposition to the Jedi Knights \u2013 a force for good and justice. Obama is clearly on the Dark Side, which represents oppression of political opposition and those who seek to retain and reaffirm traditional American values and all that is good in our country.\n5. The scheming leader. In Episodes I-III, the Evil Emperor \u2013 as Darth Sidious and later, as Chancellor Palpatine \u2013 incites and schemes and lies his way to power, just as Obama did to become president (think all of the lies he told about healthcare reform, and how he once called President Bush \"unpatriotic\" and \"irresponsible\" for creating less than half the public debt he himself has created).\n6. Power-mad. Once a crisis he creates reaches its zenith, Darth Sidious-turned-Chancellor Palpatine then proposes the Republic's senate give him more power to deal with that crisis, just until the crisis has ended. Obama has made similar requests of Congress, and for selfish reasons (think of his push for economy-killing regulations and gun control). Obama says he doesn't want to take guns away from anyone, just as Palpatine said his only concern was the \"safety of the people\" \u2013 before he enslaved them.\n7. Using conflict to gather power. In the earliest Star Wars episodes \u2013 not the first ones shown dating back to 1977, but the earliest episodes (I, II, & III) \u2013 Sidious and Palpatine use war and conflict to gather power and eventually declare an Emperorship. Some think Obama's intentional and illegal executive amnesty, his push to admit hundreds or thousands of potential terrorists posing as refugees, and his shutting down of terror investigations that could have prevented domestic attacks, could be construed as his way of creating enough chaos to use as an excuse to grab power.\n8. Hollowing resistance. As Palatine, the emperor-to-be helped to weaken the republic's military forces while building his own. Obama is certainly weakening the U.S. military, in terms of numbers and capability \u2013 is he strengthening another force simultaneously?\n9. Understanding the masses. A frightened sheeple republic gladly handed over power to Palpatine on his promise of restoring order. Maybe Obama believes Americans en masse would react in the same way to ordered chaos he has created?\n10. Feign political dysfunction. In an earlier episode, Anakin Skywalker \u2013 who eventually becomes Darth Vader \u2013 discusses how, in the midst of political disagreements, \"someone wise\" ought to be able to make decisions on behalf of what he feels is best for the people. Obama's attitude is exactly the same, and he has often attempted to portray our political system as hopelessly broken, even though in historical context, our political system functions the way it always has, and was designed to.\nhttp://www.naturalnews.com/052400_Star_Wars_President_Obama_evil_Emperor.html\nLabels: allegorical meaning , MSM , natural news , obama , self education",

Let Me Tell You About Who Is First\nInspired by the \u201cI am Second\u201d movement and Jeff Jones\nSong: Background - Lecrae\nI\u2019ve never met anybody who, in describing Jesus says He\u2019s a bad guy. Everybody that I know believes that Jesus was a wonderful person, a great teacher, a great philosopher. But when you actually look at who He said He was, when you read books like Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, He claimed to be much more than a great teacher, or great leader or great compassionate person. He claimed to be God Himself. Who looked down from Heaven above, stood up from His glorious throne where He was being praised and living the GREAT life, and said \u201cExcuse Me, My children need Me.\u201d Who then came to this planet, took on flesh to live among people just like you and me with all of our hurt, suffering and sin. He did this because the Bible says first of all that He wanted to \u201cidentify\u201d with us. He wanted to know what it was like to be us, to live in the world, to be relatable. And then He came to suffer and die on the cross for our sins to take the punishment that you and I Deserve. \u201cWhen you ever heard about a hero dying for the villains?\u201d \u2013 Andy Mineo\u2026We should have died 1,000 deaths for our sins, but He died so that WE could Live. He SAVED us\u2026So when you think about who Jesus is, He didn\u2019t come to be just a great man. He came to make it possible for us to know God.\nThat is who is First. Therefore, everything you do in life should be for Him; to please Him, to serve Him, to make Him happy. Everything. Because EVERYTHING He did, was for You.\n#IAmSecond\n#LiveSecond",

        "raw_content": "We\u2019re in an age of rapid accessibility and diversity of information. This information often generates the state of infobesity\u2014whereas individuals are often too overwhelmed by information and struggle to make informed decisions.\nOur smart devices seem to manipulate us more than we use them. Every day, an average person taps his or her phone roughly 2,600 times, receives 20 text messages, and watches 183 minutes of television. Every minute, 455,000 tweets are sent, 3,607,080 Google searches are conducted, and 46,740 Instagram posts are uploaded. Some individuals are well aware of how online influences can dictate the decisions and opinions in our real lives.\nBain & Company, a consulting firm, wrote a detailed report that many companies it oversees witnessed a decline in staff efficiency and rationality of decision making due to the surge of the Internet applications and social media voices. Pundits like Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic used to say that information from smart devices is separate from the reality of situations, but that does not seem to apply anymore.\nSome have taken action against their intense desire over new information. Justin Rosenstein, a Silicon Valley software developer, uses a smartphone that will prohibit access to any apps during a limited period of time. He believed that many social media phenomena like \u201clikes\u201d are simply phantoms providing \u201cbright dings of pseudo-pleasure.\u201d Ironically, as a former Facebook employee, he developed the social media website\u2019s \u201clike\u201d feature. He believes that he is not the only person in the technology field who has realized how encroaching and manipulative certain aspects of electronic devices, especially smart phones, can be. In an exclusive interview, he expressed his concern over how people may need to comply the status quo, and may not have an alternative choice on management of information.\nMass media and its brainwashing are not some new gizmo suddenly invented by the technopolies. The fascination with technological power has been prevelant for generations. Aldous Huxley, built a fictitious world in his 1931 book called Brave New World, where citizens were artificially engineered in their stature to comply certain orders, and where people voluntarily entertained themselves to forget the oppression against the manipulative regime. If he were alive today, he would perhaps see the dystopia he imagined becoming a reality.\nHuxley may be the harbinger, but scholars and pundits have crusaded against technological advancement. Marshall McLuhan and his protege Neil Postman, who both lived before the emergence of the Internet, warned people in their works that devices that can enhance mass organization of information may replace the intellectual capabilities of human beings. Given the accessibility and comprehensiveness of information on the Internet now, we are becoming \u201cmassman,\u201d whereas other people\u2019s perception of the information contribute solely to our own interpretation of concepts.\nWe may be truly into a dystopian spiral of tangential information impeding our abilities to make rational decisions. What may be worse is that there are no indications of this trend of rapid reliance of online information declining. It\u2019s a time when people joke that reading a book is obsolete and pedantic. It\u2019s a time when partisanship is maximized through personalized development of social media groups. We are truly obsessed with such devices with limited awareness, distracting ourselves from important challenges of our time.\ntechnology, mass media\nNov 15 It is Possible to Stop Mass Shootings!\nDec 6 David Brooks Says Trump was the Wrong Answer to the Right Question",

        "raw_content": "Agora originally meant \"gathering place\" but came to mean the market place and public square in an ancient Greek city. It was the political, civic, and commercial center of the city. Socrates spent most of his time at the agora in Athens discussing the serious issues of the day with anyone who was willing.\nThe Mint was an important part of any Greek city since each city-state had its own coinage. Athenians, primarily women, would walk to the Fountain House to gather water for their homes. Water came to the city from a distant spring through an aqueduct constructed of clay pipes. The South Stoa was a long, roofed gallery with a wall on one side. Inside, one could walk down the long corridor and see merchants in their stalls selling their wares. The stoa became meeting places for many philosophers and their students. Trials were held at the Law Court where juries, commonly consisting of hundreds of Athenian citizens, were asked to deliberate on the legal cases of the day. The jail was behind the Law Court. The Strategeion was the headquarters for military officers. Inside the Tholos, the circular building, the presiding governmental officials (as well as victorious Olympic athletes) would eat. Citizen senators conducted official civic business in the Bouleuterion. It also housed the official city records.\nMore merchants could be found at the Stoa of Zeus just past the Bouleuterion. The small building attached to the stoa is the Royal Stoa where the Archon, the chief religious officer of Athens, had his office. Athenians could view paintings depicting the Victory at Marathon in the Painted Stoa. At the Altar of the 12 Gods, animals were sacrificed at the beginning of each day to seek divine blessing upon the state.",

Gibbs\nMary Ann Deku\nSpartanburg, SC \u2013Girl Scouts of South Carolina \u2013 Mountains to Midlands will honor three Spartanburg-area women at its annual Boots and Pearls Awards Dinner on Monday, November 12 at the Marriott in Spartanburg beginning at 6:00 p.m. The evening pays tribute to women who exemplify excellence in service, leadership, community visibility, and professionalism.\nThis year\u2019s honorees are: Valerie Manatis Barnet, Co-founder and Administrator Hub City Animal Project; Mary Ann Deku, Educator and Community Volunteer; and Marsha Gibbs, The Gibbs Charitable Foundation.\nValerie Manatis Barnetwas nominated by her peers and this is what her nominator had to say about her, \u201cWherever Valerie goes she greatly impacts those around her. She is an unsung quiet hero in our community who has used her gifts to inspire, teach, and uplift, so many in Spartanburg.\u201d\nProfessionally, Valerie teaches theatre at the Spartanburg Day School (grades 8 \u2013 12) and directs 2 productions annually. In the community, she serves on the boards of the Foundation for the SC School for the Deaf and the Blind, Sidewalk Hope and Mental Fitness, Inc. She also places a high value on volunteerism by giving her time at The Journey as a Sunday school teacher. Valerie is the co-founder and administrator of the non-profit, Hub City Animal Project. HCAP empowers local animal welfare organizations that are proactively working to address the root causes of animal homelessness in Spartanburg County in order to create long-term change and reduce shelter intake.\nValerie Manatis Barnet is married to Bill Barnet and they have 3 grown children \u2013 Becca, Will and John. In her spare time Valerie enjoys exercising, reading and just \u201cdoing life\u201d with her husband Bill and their dog, Honey.\nWhen asked, members of our community often describe Mary Ann Deku as teacher, guidance counselor, humanitarian, mentor and change maker. She was raised in St. Matthews, South Carolina and graduated from South Carolina State with a Bachelors of Science and Masters of Education. Using her education, and passion for preparing our youth for success, she worked for Spartanburg District 5 from 1967-1985 and District 7 from 1985-2005.\nEven when Mary\u2019s career was ever growing and demanding of her time and energy, she always found time to serve others. While she may be known as an accomplished professional, she is perhaps more so characterized for her philanthropic work in the Spartanburg community. Mary believes that giving back begins with changing one life at a time. While her accolades for community involvement are many and impressive, she says her favorite activity is throwing birthday parties for individuals without family; changing the world one life at a time.\nHonors for Mary\u2019s professional and community service include: 2004 Wal-Mart Teacher of the Year, 2006 Humanitarian Award for NAACP, 2007 Mary L. Thomas Civic Leadership and Community Change Award, 2010 City of Spartanburg Community Weaver, Spartanburg Chamber of Commerce Noisemaker Award and the list goes on.\nMary is very active in the League of Women Voters of Spartanburg County. She has chaired numerous projects and served as the president 3 times and is currently serving her 4th term. Because of the alarming lack of education about political issues and the political process right here in our own communities, Mary has devoted herself to registering voters, getting voters out on Election Day and planning and holding elections for the Spartanburg Housing Authority Residents.\nMary Ann Deku has committed her entire life doing her part building a strong community for all those who live in Spartanburg. She has often stated that her motto is \u201cIf I can help somebody, then my living will not be in vain\u201d and Mary has accomplished that. Girl Scouts of South Carolina- Mountains to Midlands is honored to present Mary Ann Deku with the 2018 Women of Distinction Award for Spartanburg.\nMarsha H. Gibbs,a lifetime resident of Spartanburg County, South Carolina. Professionally, Marsha is a member of the executive management team at Gibbs International, Inc., where she works alongside her husband, Jimmy Gibbs. She has become an influential leader in the Spartanburg community, and continually strives to empower others to fulfill their maximum potential. With a unique style of her own, not only has she helped to build one of the most successful private businesses in South Carolina, but has touched many lives with her generosity and caring as is evident in her role as Director of The Gibbs Foundation. Her professional career has taken her to many countries and continents where she has experienced many cultures and diverse ethnic and religious backgrounds. All of this has allowed her to share her faith not only with her own community, but with communities around the world. She is a member of First Baptist Church of Spartanburg and her faith is the cornerstone of her life- from her business and family, to her friendships and philanthropy.\nMrs. Gibbs has an associate degree in business from Spartanburg Community College and graduated from The Barbizon School of Modeling and Finishing. She is the author of \u201cGrowing with Grace\u201d.\nMarsha currently serves on the Board of Directors of Carolina Alliance Bank, Spartanburg Regional Foundation and Converse College. She is an active advocate in the community and has received numerous awards, including the 2003 Spartanburg Area Chamber of Commerce Neville Holcombe Outstanding Citizenship Award (with her husband, Jimmy) and the Wofford College Mary Mildred Sullivan Award .Mrs. Gibbs is also a 2004 Paul Harris Fellow, a 2004 Salvation Army Toast of the Town Honoree, the 2004-2005 United Way Volunteer of the Year for Spartanburg County, and was the Honorary Chair of The Imagination Library of Spartanburg and Union Counties and the Mary Mildred Sullivan Award for Converse College in 2010. Marsha is honored to have been involved with educational institutions in Spartanburg and that is well noted by the presence of the Marsha Gibbs Tri Delta Sorority House at Wofford College and the Marsha H. Gibbs Fieldhouse on the campus of Converse College. She also served as a tri-chair for the Hospice Home in Spartanburg.\n7News, WSPA-TV, is the Media Sponsor for the November 12, 2018 Women of Distinction Awards Dinner.\nFor ticket and/or sponsorship information on this annual fundraising event, please contact Anne Smith, Director, Annual Fund Development at asmith@gssc-mm.org, call 1-800-849-GIRL (4475), or visit gssc-mm.org.\nFor more than 100 years, Girl Scouting has helped girls develop positive values and become active, responsible leaders in their communities.

He further added that combining the capabilities of both the dairy firms gives the farmers the security to make long term business decisions and ensures their stability and progress.\nAs per reliable sources, Michael Hanley, the present CEO of Lakeland Dairies will be taking the charge as Group CEO of the merged farmer-controlled dairy co-operative. He said that the merger is a step undertaken in the best interests of the farmers and the merged entity will create a much diversified and efficient farmer controlled dairy food group with a large portfolio of value-added brands and products.\nAllegedly, the talks about the merger between the two dairies commenced last June. The final decision regarding the merger is subject to regulatory approval, cite reliable sources.",

        "title": "Marine Species Identification Portal : Phylum Craniata",
        "raw_content": "(To complete all classifications ETI has added the Kingdom and the Phyla of all the different taxa treated on this DVD-ROM without higher classification descriptions. Texts from Lynn Margulis and Karlene V. Schwartz, Five Kingdoms. CD-ROM Copyright 2002 ETI / Freeman & Co Publishers)\nMembers of this phylum, our own, are the most familiar of all the animals. Craniates include about 45,000 species, including most animals of direct economic importance, except molluscs and arthropods. The eight classes of craniate chordates include Cyclostomata (hagfish and lampreys), Chondrichthyes (sharks and other cartilaginous jawed fish), Osteichthyes (bony fish), Choanichthyes (lungfish), Amphibia (toads, frogs, and salamanders), Reptilia (turtles and lizards), Aves (birds), and Mammalia (mammals).\nAll craniates have a brain that lies within a cranium (skull), which distinguishes members of this phylum from the acraniate chordates\u2014urochordates (Subphylum Urochordata) and cephalochordates (Phylum Cephalochordata). Craniates are grouped by some as Subphylum Vertebrata in Phylum Chordata, together with Subphyla Urochordata and Cephalochordata. The presence of three defining chordate characteristics in craniates suggests that this phylum and the other chordates have common ancestry. In craniates, the first chordate characteristic\u2014the dorsal, single, hollow (fluid-filled) nerve cord\u2014becomes the brain and spinal cord during embryogenesis. The second characteristic defining chordates\u2014a cartilaginous rod called the notochord\u2014forms dorsally to the gut in the early craniate embryo. This slender flexible cylinder of cells containing a gelatinous matrix and sheathed in fibrous tissue extends the length of the body and persists throughout the life of all members of Classes Cyclostomata and Chondrichthyes. In all other classes of craniates, the embryonic notochord is largely replaced by the bony vertebral column\u2014the backbone\u2014during later development. The third chordate feature is the presence of gill slits in the pharynx at some stage of the life history, as in urochordates and cephalochordates (Phyla Urochordata and Cephalochordata). Gill slits reveal the aquatic ancestry of the phylum. These slits are present only in the embryo and larva of land-dwelling craniates with few exceptions, such as the axolotl, a Mexican amphibian. Gill slits persist in adults of aquatic craniates in classes Cyclostomata, Chondrichthyes, Osteichthyes, and Choanichthyea. In terrestrial craniates, gill slits grow shut or are transformed into other structures such as the Eustachian tube and jaws, so gill slits are absent as such in the adult.\nCraniates, like all chordates, are bilaterally symmetrical animals that develop from three embryonic germ layers: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. A well-developed coelom lined by a tissue layer called the peritoneum arises from the embryonic mesoderm. Thin membranes called mesentery suspend the internal organs in this coelom. The bodies of craniates are segmented. The backbone is a series of vertebrae associated with nerves and muscles that are replicated in a series mirroring the segmented muscles present in cephalochordates. All craniates have a digestive tract complete with mouth and anus. Although craniates reproduce sexually, a few species also reproduce parthenogenetically. These species consist of uniparental females in which no fertilization of the egg is required for development of the offspring. In the vast majority of species, male and female are separate individuals. Sexual reproduction requires the fertilization of a comparatively large egg by a much smaller, undulipodiated sperm.\nCraniates grouped as agnatha lack jaws and paired appendages. All the other craniates are the gnathostomata, which have jaws\u2014facilitating food getting and defense\u2014and paired appendages. The only class of extant agnatha is Cyclostomata, the lampreys (Petromyzon), hagfish, and slime eels\u2014aquatic animals that have gill slits and a round mouth like a suction cup with horny teeth on a protrusible tongue. The cyclostome axial skeleton, cartilaginous as in sharks, is essentially a reinforced notochord. The skull is a rigid box of cartilage that protects the brain. Cyclostomates have smooth, scaleless skin and lack the scales and fins of cartilaginous fish (such as Squalus) and bony fish. The cyclostomate does not have the ability to regulate its body temperature. The oldest remains of undoubtedly vertebrate animals is that of an ancient armored (jawless) fish with large scales called an ostracoderm, a member of a class of agnathids that is extinct. This class was a transitional form between cyclostomes (jawless fish) and jawed fish. Extant agnathids lack bones.\nOf the 25,000 fish species, most\u2014such as Fundulus and Gadus\u2014are bony. Many species of sharks and bony fish are currently endangered by commercial exploitation and destruction of their near-shore nursery areas.\nThe classes Chondrichthyes (cartilaginous fish) and Osteichthyes (bony fish) are both gnathostome fish; they retain gills as adults, have paired fins, have jaws, and lack four limbs. Members of Chondrichthys lack bones; their skeletons and skull are made instead of a softer but more flexible cell product called cartilage. Marine cartilaginous fish include sharks, skates, and sting rays. Their scales, called placoid scales and composed of a dentine plate covered by enamel, differ in origin from the scales of reptiles and bird legs. The extinct jawed, armored fish\u2014placoderms\u2014are the fossil predecessor of modern cartilagenous fish (Chondrichthyes) and bony fish (Osteichthyes).\nLungfish\u2014Class Choanichthyes\u2014live in African freshwater lakes with low dissolved oxygen. When a lake dries up, lungfish secrete a cocoon, dig into the mud, and gulp air into their exposed mouths.\nAll other fish besides cartilaginous fish and lungfish belong to Class Osteichthyes, the bony fish\u2014salmon, tuna, trout, bass\u2014and most saltwater and freshwater fish. Their scales are thin in comparison with placoid scales and are called cycloid or ctenoid, according to whether the outer edge of the scale is rounded (Greek kyklos, a circle) or toothed (Greek ktenos, comb). Moreover, cycloid and ctenoid scales form internally in the skin and do not emerge from the skin as do the placoid scales of the shark. The heart of a fish pumps blood from the body through a single atrium and a single ventricle, and then to the gills, from which oxygenated blood returns to the body; the circulation is closed.\nThe remaining classes of gnathostomes, Amphibia, Reptilia, Aves, and Mammalia, are all tetrapods (Greek tetra, four; podos, foot), having four limbs (except for some reptiles). Modern tetrapods are the most visible animals in terrestrial habitats today. We can trace the evolution of tetrapods by means of fossils and the only extant lobe-finned fish\u2014the coelocanth\u2014to the primitive ancestors that link extinct lobe-finned fishes to their descendants\u2014to amphibians, to reptiles, and subsequently to birds and mammals. The bony fishes and amphibians have given rise to no other class of animals.\nMembers of Class Amphibia, about 200 described species, including salamanders (Salamandra), frogs (Xenopus), and toads (Bufo), lack scales and respire through their moist, flexible, scaleless skin and across the moist mouth lining, through gills\u2014externally visible in some species\u2014or through relatively small lungs. Some salamander species lack lungs and thus respire entirely across their moist skins. The amphibian heart has two atria but a single ventricle. Many but not all amphibians lay eggs and release sperm in water, where fertilization takes place. Most amphibians spend at least the earlier part of their lives in larval or juvenile form as aquatic beings; a few tropical frogs lack larvae\u2014their embryos develop directly into miniature adults carried on the parent\u2019s body or in the minipond formed by a bromeliad. Some amphibians, such as the leopard frog, have aquatic larvae with gill slits (tadpoles). Bullfrogs and leopard frogs live much of their adult lives in fresh water. The Mexican axolotl retains its gilled larval form even as a sexually mature, aquatic adult.\nMembers of Class Reptilia have dry skin covered with scales\u2014affording protection from desiccation and predation. The tissue layer from which the scales of reptiles develop differs from the tissue layer from which scales of fish develop. Reptiles develop from an egg more adapted to life on land\u2014they are fertilized internally, have a leathery shell, and are retained in the mother until they hatch, in some species\u2014than are the eggs of amphibians. Like embryos of birds, the gilled reptile embryo develops in its own small sea\u2014a fluid-filled compartment enclosed by its eggshell. Reptiles lack aquatic larvae. Turtles (Chrysemys), lizards, snakes (Crotalus), crocodiles, and alligators together total about 5000 species. The popular Mesozoic era dinosaurs belonged to this class. Living reptiles are poikilothermic (unable to internally regulate body temprature): some species are adapted to a wide range of internal body temperatures; others regulate their temperature with behavioral adaptations such as basking in the sun or taking shelter from direct sun by moving to cooler, moister microhabitats. The leatherback turtle regulates its internal temperature somewhat. Each reptile tooth is generally rather similar to the others. Reptiles breathe by using lungs, although their scaly skin is slightly permeable to gas. The reptilian heart has two atria, and the ventricles are not completely separated (permitting partial mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood), except in crocodiles, which have a complete septum between the left and the right ventricles. Most reptiles are well adapted to terrestrial life. Several sea turtle and snake species are endangered\u2014overharvested for meat, shell, eggs, and skins. Baby sea turtles hatch from eggs laid on land but are disoriented by artificial night lights along the ocean, which they must reach to feed and breed. Floridians and other coastal residents are urged to turn down outdoor night lights to allow turtle hatchlings to reach the ocean.\nFeathered reptiles\u2014that is, birds\u2014are placed in their own class, Aves. Nearly 9000 living bird species\u2014among them, Phasianus, Podiceps, Puffinus, and Rhea\u2014are recognized. To understand avian structure and behavior, it is best to think of birds as feathered reptiles derived from a branch of dinosaur reptiles, the ornithischians; ornithischian hip bones resemble those of contemporary birds. Aves have land-adapted eggs with porous calcium carbonate shells and internal membranes that facilitate gas exchange. Bird embryos deposit insoluble nitrogenous waste during their life within the shell; bird eggs develop externally. The forelimbs of many but not all (Struthio) bird species are modified for flight as wings, and their bones are hollow. Their scaly skin is studded with feathers; bird scales (look at the leg of a bird) are modified reptilian scales. The saying \u201cscarce as hen\u2019s teeth\u201d is based on biological fact: birds lack teeth. Birds have a four-chambered heart with two atria and two ventricles, and\u2014like mammals\u2014they regulate their internal temperature within a few degrees. Animals with this ability are called homeotherms. Gavia, the loon, has a lower body temperature than that of most other bird species.\nClass Mammalia contains about 4500 living species, including Homo sapiens, Bos, Felis, Phoca, Rangifer, and Sus. As mammals, we nourish our young with milk, the nutritious and immunoprotective secretions of the mammary glands of the mother. All mammals are homeotherms\u2014regulators of body temperature. Some species, such as our own, allow only a small range of variation. Others\u2014opossums and hibernators such as woodchucks and ground squirrels\u2014evolved a much broader range of body temperatures. The hair that covers the skin of many mammals at some stage of life is one of several physical and behavioral temperature-control features. The mammalian heart has four chambers. Mammals have complete double circulation: the oxygen-rich blood in the arteries does not mix with the oxygen-depleted blood in the veins. In most mammalian species, an elaborate organ, the placenta, nourishes the developing embryo; fertilized eggs develop inside the female and young are born live. Parental care, although not absent in other classes of vertebrates and even some invertebrates, is well developed in many mammals. Mammals have complex and differentiated teeth.\nThere are nearly twenty orders of mammals in two great subclasses, Prototheria and Theria. Subclass Prototheria includes all the egg-laying mammals of Australia, New Guinea, and Tasmania. Subclass Theria\u2014all mammals that do not lay eggs\u2014includes all other mammals. The spiny anteater, Tachyglossus aculeatus, and the duck-billed platypus, Ornithorhynchus anatinus\u2014both prototherians\u2014have lower body temperatures than do most other mammals (28.3\u00b0C compared with 38\u00b0C). The cloaca of prototherians, like that of birds and reptiles, is a common chamber for digestive waste, excretory products, and eggs or sperm. Both prototherian genera also have horny beaks or bills but lack true teeth. They lay shelled and yolk-rich cherry-sized eggs, have an external pouch, and reptilelike bones. All egg-laying mammals nourish their young with milk from primitive mammary glands after hatching.\nSubclass Theria comprises two infraclasses\u2014Metatheria (marsupials such as opposums and Phascolarctus, the koala) and Eutheria (placental mammals\u2014Balaenoptera, Cavia, Pan, Vulpes). The young of kangaroos and other metatherians are extremely immature at birth after a brief sojourn in the mother\u2019s uterus. Their relatively well developed forepaws permit metatherian newborns to crawl into an exterior pouch in which young suckle milk while attached to the mammary glands as they continue development. The metatherian female has a cloaca, two vaginas, and a double (Y-shaped) uterus. The eutherian female has a single uterus and single vagina. Eutherian young undergo considerable development inside the mother\u2019s uterus, where they are nourished inside her body by the transfer of nutrients and by gas exchange through the placenta before she gives birth. Eutherian orders include Insectivora (hedgehogs, shrews, moles), Primates (lemurs, tarsiers, monkeys, apes, humans, chimpanzees, gorillas), Hyracoidea (hyraxes), Chiroptera (bats), Dermoptera (flying lemurs), Rodentia (porcupines, mice, squirrels, chipmunks, capybaras), Carnivora (dogs, cats, bears, otters), Pinnipedia (seals, sea lions), Tupaioidea (tree shrews), Edentata (sloths, armadillos, anteaters), Pholidota (pangolins), Lagomorpha (hares, rabbits), Cetacea (whales, dolphins), Tubulidentata (aardvark), Proboscidea (elephants), Sirenia (sea cows, manatees) Perissodactyla (zebras, horses, tapirs), and Artiodactyla (pigs, camels, llamas, deer, cattle, bison).\nYou can continue searching for Phylum Craniata on one of these Web sites:",

        "raw_content": "Top Ten Movies with... David Brooke\nIt's Rugby World Cup 2011 and who better to quiz than David Brooke, the ultimate sports fan, who has made a career out of doing what he loves best as Commercial Manager at Sport24, the biggest sports website in South Africa, Expresso's Sports Guy and an up-and-coming MC. Weekends are dedicated to \"research\", but Brooke is a family man first and foremost. In his free time, he hits the road as an aspiring half-marathon runner.\nDavid discovered his love for sport and media under the tutelage of the one-and-only Dan Nicholl at UCT. Nicholl imparted his wisdom, in-between trips to the vending machine at iafrica.com and David only really fully realised his dream after doing manual live scoring on a Canada vs. Bangladesh one-day international. After a stint of working on the Big Brother reality TV show in London, Brooke returned to South Africa to start working as Commercial Manager at Sport24 - now making regular trips to the coffee shop for Tank Lanning.\nMore recently he's become a \"Sports Guy\", presenting the weekend sports wrap every Monday morning with Liezel van der Westhuizen on live SABC 3 TV show, Expresso. When he's not visiting famous sports stadiums like Old Trafford, Lord's Cricket Ground, the Maracana or Ajax Amsterdam Arena - you can catch him on his blog, Brooke's Belters or follow him on Twitter @BrookeBack13. Right now - his sporting Top Ten Movies...\n\"Despite my manly sporting persona, I am in touch with my emotions...\"\n- ...popcorn, it\u2019s just not right. The only problem is that I always finish the popcorn before the actual movie starts so I make sure I have some wine gums as a back-up to keep my stamina up for the duration of the movie. Oh, and the lights must be off, it\u2019s just not right to keep the lights on when watching movies. Also, if I\u2019m watching at home, I need something to put my feet up on. I love putting my feet up during movie time, although it has got me into trouble a couple of times at the cinema.\n- The lead singer of the Pussycat Dolls, Nicole Scherzinger was born on June 29 \u2013 we have a similar toned physique but she has done a lot better for herself than I have. Actor Gary Busey was also born on the same day as me but hopefully that\u2019s the only thing we have in common as he\u2019s had quite a colourful life, with regular visits to both the hospital and jail. (29 June)\n- It was either my 6th or 7th birthday and E.T. was finally showing in South Africa. My mom took some of my friends and me to the Labia in Cape Town to watch it. I remember thinking that the Labia held about 5000 people, it seemed massive. I was horrified when I found out later on in life that it only held a couple of hundred people. Anyways, we had party packets, of which I smashed about 4 and I don\u2019t think I blinked once during the movie whilst I ruined my teeth on 12 fizzers. I knew even then that Drew Barrymore was going to be a belter\u2026 Those were the days when you could get popcorn, slush and a movie for about R10.\n- I have only ever walked out of one movie, and that was the \"masterpiece\" called Sugar & Spice. I honestly don\u2019t know why I was even in a cinema watching that movie in the first place, it must have been to impress a girl, but I was out of there faster than Usain Bolt and soon hitting the St. Elmos sliceaway. Recently, Sex and the City 2 was pretty bad, they should have stopped after the first one\u2026they were seriously clutching at straws.\n- Despite my manly sporting persona, I am in touch with my emotions at times and the movie August Rush was one of those movies that just pulled at the heart strings. The storyline was just brilliant and for a kid to pull off an acting performance like that, was just phenomenal \u2013 cracking movie \u2013 one for the DVD collection.\n- Didn\u2019t Herschelle Gibbs star in a Bollywood movie? Tough one this, it would have to be Kira Soltanovich, an American actress who was down for the Cape Town Comedy Festival a couple of years ago. I know, it\u2019s not much, but despite living in London for a year, the closest I got to a famous actor was at Madame Tussauds.\n- \"F*ck you Van Wilder.\u201d\n- Shrek, because he\u2019s fat but loveable, just like me.\n- It would definitely be about sport, but maybe about a sports team actually losing at the end of the movie, instead of winning. Don\u2019t worry, I\u2019ll still keep the traditional Hollywood ending with the main star kissing the plain Jane who has been in love with him all of his life and stuck with him through the good and bad times whilst his blonde cheerleader went off with the vice captain after he got injured and was no longer the main man.\n- Any Given Sunday ...unbelievable movie, Al Pacino was immense and even though I\u2019m not a fan of American football, it gave a real glimpse into the extreme lifestyle of sportsmen with tons of money and the cutthroat business side of professional sport.\n- Van Wilder ...funniest movie I have ever seen, it\u2019s one of those movies I can watch over and over again. Ryan Reynolds suited that role down to a T and he\u2019s got to be one of the most under-rated actors around.\n- August Rush ...I remember watching it one morning at home with my fianc\u00e9 and she kept on looking at me to see if I was crying yet (she had obviously seen this movie before). Absolutely fantastic viewing. I was a wreck afterwards. I couldn\u2019t watch sport for at least 4 hours.\n- Ace Ventura ...Jim Carey has got to be one of the biggest comedic geniuses of our times and the first Ace Ventura movie is arguably one of the funniest, yet strangest movies of all time.\n- Jerry Maguire ...being involved in the commercial side of sport as my career, this movie was of particular interest to me, it\u2019s a classic, that\u2019s for sure.\n- Remember the Titans ...reminding us that sport has the ability to unite. Denzel Washington was brilliant in this movie.\n- Rocky ...before Sly\u2019s numerous plastic surgery operations, he said \u2018Aaaadrian\u2019 like no other man can. Even though I have watched every Rocky movie since, I still believe that it\u2019s difficult to emulate the first one.\n- The Legend of Bagger Vance ...Will Smith, Matt Damon and Charlize Theron - enough said\n- Radio ...one of those movies which didn\u2019t hit the big time but really should\u2019ve. Ed Harris and Cuba Gooding Jr. made a fantastic combination.\n- The Pursuit of Happyness ...I am a big Will Smith fan and he was just spectacular in this movie - very emotional.\nCREDIT ROLL: Photography - Casey Crafford | Venue - Newlands Rugby Stadium (WP Rugby)",

        "title": "ASK K-POP 'Bad Papa' Jang Hyuk is a sympathy partner",
        "raw_content": "'Bad Papa' Jang Hyuk is a sympathy partner\tin News\nBack by: hwarang on October 10, 2018 06:21 AM\n'Bad Papa' Jang Hyuk is a sympathy partner\nBoxing player Yoo Chul (Jang Hyuk), who was once a respected champion but was permanently excluded from the association even in the case of a shooting game. This person, who has even taken part in a new drug clinical trial to eat and live, experiences the brunt of the drug in the gambling martial arts field. In a situation where the subjects are dying because of the side effects, he is the only one who has overcome it and he gets all the blame and goes back to the ring as a martial arts player. There is only one reason. It is true that he is the head of a family.\nThe MBC Wall Street drama Bad Papa combines several story codes. One is the story about the husband and the father of the family and the other is the story of the fighting material that we have seen so much but have not been treated so much in the drama. Like the <Adrenaline 24> starring Jason Stadem, the story of the person who transforms through medication is added.\nJust as Hemingway has already been fascinated, a square ring is a good place to show the whole life of the strangers who have to struggle with the world every day. On top of that, the ship is never knocked down even if knocked for the family. The moment he falls, the family is thought to collapse. I think it's okay if the family can live even if I have a habit of cheating on the game. The happiness of the family here is to make money so that the daughter can not give up the dream, and the wife does not consume the writing to make money for the writing skill.\nThis is somewhat exaggerated 'most fantasy'. It is because of the series of events that take place around him that money emerges as a top priority for the good. He invested all of his property in one of the cliches of the drama and broke down, and his daughter was already in a fight with a friend known as an entertainer, hurting him and asking him to pay for the enormous cost of the treatment. In addition, his former friend and his rival, a successful martial arts player Lee Min Woo (Huh Joon), begins to approach his wife as bait. All these bad lucks surrounding Yusechul eventually result in 'money'.\nSo Yoochul chose to use the wrong way again to make money. After taking new medication that should not be done, you win the game with that power. What is going on? The mixed martial arts promoter, Chung Man-seong, asks him to give him a big game and play seven games. He looks like a savior in front of Yong-cheol, but he is hiding the story of Yoo Chul-chul's backstroke somewhere. Perhaps the person who knows the secrets of the New Testament and prepares something to know that the drug has overcome the side effects of the drug.\nThe story of Yu-chul, who comes up on the ring to find the happiness again by earning money by becoming unhappy by money, is drawn so as to symbolize our reality even though there are some exaggerated and polarized aspects. Perhaps the most living people in this reality will have to agree with the circumstances and the choices of Lee Yong-cheol.\nHowever, the weakness of this drama is the perpetrators sacrificed for the sincere sympathy for Lee Yong - cheol. His most famous person is his wife, Choi Sun-joo (Sang-yun Eun). This is the best way to show her how to use this character to highlight the character of Yoochul Chul, who is going to go back to Gangneung with the biography of Lee Min-woo. It is to establish a setting that reminds me of an affair, to establish a conspicuous angle between Yoochul Chul and Lee Min Woo.\nIn the case of the game, he gave up his ballet because of his dad who was forced to go to the municipal government but his daughter, Yoo Young-sun (Shin Eun-soo) dreams of dancers. The story of her daughter who is doing her job because of her luxury bag is actually treated only as an episode for her masculinity. Although all stories are focused on 'bad papa' Yuk-chul, it can be considered as an option to highlight the protagonist, but for this purpose, the surrounding characters are not actively seen and consumed, making the feeling too crude.\nThe viewers see it because of Jang Hyuk, but it is not the problem of the setting itself, but the problem of the rhetoric that it does not agree with the inclusion of the adultery setting. It is a problem that comes from the fact that the character Choi Seon-joo is not a character who animates with active choice but a character that is mobilized around the premise of Yoochul Chul's story.\nIt is the story of the impression which it is seen for a long time indeed. The intention of putting the difficulties of the heads of our age into the dramatic story of the ring is good, but putting too much of the head around it and putting the people around there is not enough to convince the whole. I feel sympathy for the owner of Yoochul, but I feel sorry for him.",

The game must blend all three, allowing towers to be placed on the screen, allowing enemies to move across the screen, and to allow the towers to attack the enemies.\nThe screen requires a thread to update the painted components often. When the game is launched, the thread is started, and the screen updates based on an FPS check up to 500 times in a second. The screen is broken up into two grids, one menu, and various information displays. The separation is necessary to give the user a sense that one of the menus and the information panel are not part of the game world, but separate. The information displays alert the user of important data to further interact with the screen.\nThe enemies utilize several classes to move across the main grid, and are stored in an array. A level file is created, using numbers one through four, to signify different areas on the map. \u201cIf\u201d statements are then used to make each number lead to a certain action. If the number is a two, it will be used as the starting spot. If the number is a 0, it will be used as a tower spot. If the number is a 1, it will be used as an enemy pathway. And if the number is a 3, it will be used as the end of the pathway. Once each enemy in the array locates the spawn point, it uses if statements to check the surrounding locations on the grid, using iteration, to find the next spot to move to. It then continues this process until it reaches the end of the map, where it will interact with one of the information panels and reduce a \u201clife.\u201d\nThe towers are stored in an array, and also interact with a towerMap array. This array keeps track of all locations on the grid, and any stored towers within it. If a location on the grid is a 0, a tower can be placed. If it is not a 0, it cannot be placed. Further, towers are bought from a shop grid. The shop grid reads out the entire tower array to display all towers, and are clickable and draggable using the MouseHandler class. When another location on the screen is clicked, the mouse hand is checked to see if it contains a tower. If it does, it will try to place the tower if it is on the grid. If there is nothing in the hand, another if-statement looks to see if there is anything clickable in that area, such as the start/play/pause/stop buttons, the audio button, the fast forward button, or the home menu button.\nA working .jar file may be downloaded here.\nAn 8-image gallery of the game can be seen here.\nA github repo with the source code can be found here.\nCourse: Cryptography & Network Security\nResearched and presented the process behind various OS fingerprinting techniques and uses. The report begins with the process of identifying a remote host\u2019s operating system based on analyzing packets from that host. Non-automated techniques involve three different groups: direct and indirect banner grabbing, TCP & ICMP fingerprinting, and active scanners & passive sniffers. Automated techniques include a discussion of notable active scanners nmap and Xprobe2 and the passive sniffer p0f. A demonstration in Wireshark shows passive sniffing manually. Internal uses and external threats for Network Administrators, ethical hackers, and malicious hackers are discussed as a conclusion.\nThe report is attached:\n[gview file=\u201dhttp://stevehumer.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/OS-Fingerprinting-Techniques-Tools.pdf\u201d save=\u201d1\u2033]\nCourse: Marketing & Operations Management\nConducted semester-long research on designing, developing, and implementing marketing techniques for a mobile application targeted for International students to integrate into new societies. The application was developed as a result of research-backed frustration among the International students to learn and adapt to the new environment in a short amount of time.\nThis was a group project involving three other Chinese students and was presented in front of a faculty board in York, England. The project was given a high mark, resulting in a \u201cfirst class\u201d marking, which translates to an A in the American education system.\nHere is what was covered in the presentation:\nMission and vision statement, usage context, competitors, market statistics, problem definition, solution definition, features, benefits, market segment, business influence, PESTLE analysis, SWOT analysis, Porter\u2019s Five Forces Analysis, branding strategy, icon strategy, website strategy, market content strategy, social media strategy, costs, and the future.\nHere is the powerpoint that accompanied the presentation:\n[gview file=\u201dhttp://stevehumer.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/SocialWizer-Presentation.pptx\u201d save=\u201d1\u2033]\nResearched and developed a 16-page report on the effectiveness of Android\u2019s marketing strategy given its marketing environment and customer base over the course of a semester while studying in York, England. The report highlights the priority of increasing Google\u2019s ad revenue, involvement of lawsuits and privacy criticisms, influence of branding under Google, and overall success of Android in obtaining its goal of market dominance and expansion among multiple mobile channels. Recommendations given included Android to strive for innovation in the midst of competitor Apple and to hold as much market-share as possible.\nThe paper is broken down into the macro-environment, micro-environment, and internal-environment, with the following tools being utilized: BCG matrix, life cycle model, and SWOT Analysis.\n[gview file=\u201dhttp://stevehumer.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Android-Marketing-Report.pdf\u201d save=\u201d1\u2033]\nCourse: The Visible Past\nResearched and wrote a 2,900-word report detailing the appearance of Middleham Castle between the twelfth and sixteenth centuries and what led to those changes. The report starts with an appropriate definition of castles and the role they had in England throughout their existence then chronologically details castle changes, including: stone over timber, the entrance gatehouse, the two-story keep, and all the various components within. The report contains 31 personally taken images and seven figures to detail these changes.\n[gview file=\u201dhttp://stevehumer.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/The-Progression-of-Middleham-Castle.pdf\u201d save=\u201d1\u2033]\nResearched and wrote a ,3666-word report detailing an examination of Rievaulx Abbey, a prominent English monastery, and what it says about the history of its medieval inhabitants. The report details the chronology of the abbey, starting from a small, simple life to a grandeur display of size, architectural detail, and subtle features such as floor tiling. Much of the architecture describes the changing beliefs of the monks who lived there from internal prayer to external stimuli. The report contains 35 personally taken images.\n[gview file=\u201dhttp://stevehumer.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Rievaulx-Abbey-and-the-History-of-its-Inhabitants.pdf\u201d save=\u201d1\u2033]\nCourse: Empires\nResearched and wrote a 3,348-word report analyzing the building of the Roman Empire and whether it was due to their superior weaponry. The report starts with an overview comparing the political and military involvement of the Romans and states that superior military discipline and organization, not weaponry, should be given major credit for building the Roman Empire. The report details the political history of the Empire, followed by founding the Empire upon military considerations and an analysis of the weaponry used.\n[gview file=\u201dhttp://stevehumer.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/An-Analysis-of-Building-the-Roman-Empire.pdf\u201d save=\u201d1\u2033]",

Instead, it is foie gras that is causing the fallout.\nAngry missives have flown between Paris and Berlin after the decision by organisers of a leading German food fair to ban the French delicacy, which is made from the liver of fattened geese or ducks.\nFoie gras producers are incensed after being told their liver p\u00e2t\u00e9 will be not welcome at the biennial Anuga food fair in Cologne in October.\nFair organisers bowed to pressure from animal rights campaigners who claim foie gras production is cruel.\nThe production of the p\u00e2t\u00e9 involves the force-feeding of ducks or geese, known in French as gavage, to create fatty livers. The birds, usually made to swallow food through a tube, end up with livers swelling up to 10 times normal size. The practice is banned in Germany, though the consumption of foie gras is not.\n\"To our great astonishment the organisers of the fair just let us know that from now on we cannot present or offer tastings of foie gras during the Anuga fair,\" Alain Labarthe, president of the organisation Vive le foie gras!, told French journalists.\nThe French agriculture minister, Bruno le Maire, wrote to his German counterpart, Ilse Aigner, asking her to overturn the ban and threatening to boycott the opening ceremony.\n\"It is important for the French foie gras sector to be present at a fair visited by numerous buyers in the period before the end of the year celebrations,\" Le Maire wrote. \"If this exclusion is confirmed, I cannot see how I will be able to take part in the opening.\"\nLe Maire insisted that France \"rigorously applied all [European] community regulations regarding the wellbeing of animals\". Aigner replied that it was up to the organisers to decide on the issue.\nThe affair has provoked a flurry of letters from those for and against foie gras. Animal rights activist Brigitte Bardot wrote to the German minister calling on her not to give in to pressure to overturn the Anuga ban. \"France does not apply the community regulations regarding animal welfare,\" she said.\nAnimal rights campaigners claim that only 15% of French foie gras producers have implemented the EU rule that ban keeping birds in individual cages where they are unable to move their wings, a rule that came into effect at the start of 2011.\nAlain Fauconnier, a Socialist member of France's senate, also wrote to the German ambassador in Paris asking him to intervene. \"It's unbelievable. It's like banning German sausages in France. The economic cost is enormous for us because Germany is an important market,\" he wrote.\nAbout 37 million ducks and 700,000 geese are slaughtered each year to make French foie gras. The force-feeding practice is said to date to 2,500BC, though it is unlikely the ancient Egyptians took to fattening their fowl on the industrial scale found in France, where foie gras and its controversial production method is enshrined in law as part of the country's so-called cultural exception. Article L654 of the 2006 rural code states: \"Foie gras is part of the protected cultural and gastronomic heritage of France. By 'foie gras' is meant the liver of a duck or a goose specifically fattened by force-feeding.\"\nFrance produces about 75% of the world's foie gras; other sources include the US and China.",

        "raw_content": "*** Here\u2019s How the Pentagon Wants to Use Social Media On the Battlefield\nBY PATRICK TUCKERREAD BIO\nArtificial intelligence will weave open-source and satellite data into useful intelligence in real time, the Pentagon\u2019s No. 2 says.\nIt still takes the U.S. military too long to turn social media and other open-source information into something that operators in the field can use. Artificial intelligence is going to change that, and give U.S. troops a distinct battlefield edge, says U.S. Deputy Defense Secretary Bob Work.\nTake the 2014 downing of Malaysian flight MH17 over Ukraine. (A conventional investigation by a European Union Joint Investigation Team took more than a year to affix blame to pro-Russian separatists operating a Russian-made BUK surface-to-air missile.) To test the current state of machine learning applied to open source intelligence, the Pentagon hired a data integration and geospatial intelligence company called Orbital Insight, a big-data analytics company with a focus on satellite imagery and geospatial data. Most of their business is commercial \u2014 for example, they, analyze pictures of parking lots from space topredict holiday sales trends.\nThe company quickly scanned all available open-source media and assembled a picture of evidence, and did it instantly. He used slides to tell the story to an audience at the Center for Strategic and International Studies: \u201cOn the lower left is a Twitter shot ofMH17 taking off\u2026The next one comes from ParisMatch.com. It is the picture of the Russian SA-11 launcher with a serial number on it, date and time stamped near the village where the shootdown occurred; then on Bellingcat.com, the exact sameSA-11, at the exact same location. Then there\u2019s a Twitter shot of a contrail of a missile rising at the time of the shootdown. Then a rebel leader takes credit for the shoot down on VK.com. That was immediately taken down, by the way. Finally on YouTube, there\u2019s a picture of the exact same SA-11 with a missile rail that is now mysteriously empty going back into Russia. Learning machines did this without any human interaction.\u201d\n*** Trade vs Terror: Time for China to Choose\nBy Sanjay Kumar Kar\nhttp://www.indiandefencereview.com/spotlights/trade-vs-terror-time-for-china-to-choose/\nIndia-China relations have been severely impacted by China\u2019s open support for Pakistan on many fronts. One of the important areas where China seems to be least worried is cross-border terrorism affecting countries like India and Afghanistan. India has been a victim of cross-border terrorism for many years \u2014 the most recent being the September 18, 2016 Uri attack sponsored by its neighbouring country Pakistan.\nChina\u2019s stand on terrorism is baffling and it pains India more than any other country. New Delhi has been pressing the United Nations (UN) to declare Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Masood Azhar \u2014 operating from Pakistan \u2014 as an international terrorist who poses serious threat to humanity and disrupts peace and tranquility in the subcontinent. Unfortunately, Beijing has consistently blocked the Indian move. On technical ground, China has succeeded twice in delaying the UN\u2019s decision on Masood Azhar.\nChina\u2019s deliberate tactics of blocking India\u2019s progress in international fora is quite evident. In June 2016 at Seoul, Beijing successfully blocked New Delhi\u2019s bid for membership of the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG).\nPakistan may be China\u2019s natural ally but India is one of the biggest trade partners of China. While China-Pakistan total trade stood at $12 billion in 2014-15, China-India trade was valued at $72 billion in the same year. During the period under consideration, China\u2019s export value to Pakistan reached just $10 billion compared to export value of $60.4 billion to India. In short, for all practical purposes, India is 6 times valuable for the Chinese economy than Pakistan.\n*** The future is now: How to win the resource revolution\nBy Scott Nyquist, Matt Rogers, and Jonathan Woetzel\nAlthough resource strains have lessened, new technology will disrupt the commodities market in myriad ways.\nA few years ago, resource strains were everywhere: prices of oil, gas, coal, copper, iron ore, and other commodities had risen sharply on the back of high and rising demand from China. For only the second time in a century, in 2008, spending on mineral resources rose above 6 percent of global GDP, more than triple the long-term average. When we looked forward in 2011, we saw a need for more efficient resource use and dramatic increases in supply, with little room for slippage on either side of the equation, as three billion more people were poised to enter the consumer economy.\nWhile our estimates of energy-efficiency opportunities were more or less on target, the overall picture looks quite different today. Technological breakthroughs such as hydraulic fracturing for natural gas have eased resource strains, and slowing growth in China and elsewhere has dampened demand. Since mid-2014, oil and other commodity prices have fallen dramatically, and global spending on many commodities dropped by 50 percent in 2015 alone.\nEven though the hurricane-like \u201csupercycle\u201d of double-digit annual price increases that prevailed from the early 2000s until recently has hit land and abated, companies in all sectors need to brace for a new gale of disruption. This time, the forces at work are often less visible and may seem smaller-scale than vertiginous cyclical adjustments or discovery breakthroughs. Taken together, though, they are far-reaching in their impact. Technologies, many having little on the surface to do with resources, are combining in new ways to transform the supply-and-demand equation for commodities. Autonomous vehicles, new-generation batteries, drones and sensors that can carry out predictive maintenance, Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity, increased automation, and the growing use of data analytics throughout the corporate world all have significant implications for the future of commodities. At the same time, developed economies, in particular, are becoming ever more oriented toward services that have less need for resources; and in general, the global economy is using resources less intensively.\n*** Russia Falls Into Old Habits\nby Lauren Goodrich\nNearly 10 years ago, Stratfor published a series on Russia's historical boom-and-bust cycle. At that time, Russia was clearly at the height of a boom, rebuilding itself into a stable and robust power. Today, the country is quickly descending into the next, less pleasant stage. The strategy that revitalized the country is becoming less effective, forcing Russia and its leaders to act more aggressively at home and abroad.\nThough still assertive, Russia is no longer acting from a position of strength. The country may maintain some semblance of strength for years to come, but its fragility will eventually become apparent, forcing it into the next phase of the cycle.\nGeography's Role in Russian History\nFor nearly eight centuries, Russia has been trapped in a loose cycle: It rises from chaos, returns as a regional and sometimes even global power, grows aggressive as the system cracks, and then collapses before rising again. The cycle is less about political choice than it is about geographic constraints. Geographically speaking, Russia is operating from an inherently weak position. It is the largest country in the world, covering roughly 13 time zones (split now into four mega-zones). Yet 75 percent of the country is virtually uninhabitable frozen tundra that becomes marshland in the summer, making domestic trade extremely difficult. Maritime trade is also difficult for Russia, given that its only warm-water port, on the Black Sea, is blocked by rivals, including Turkey. Therefore, the country has struggled to develop economically.\n*** How Army\u2019s archaic evaluation system is hurting the service\nBy Scott Maucione\nhttp://federalnewsradio.com/army/2016/11/army-archaic-evaluation-system-hurting-service/\nThere is an old saying that generals prepare for the last war they fought.\nFor the past decade and a half, the U.S. has been fighting a war in the Middle East against a lesser adversary, an enemy that in no way parallels the United States\u2019 military might.\nAs cyber becomes more prominent and Russia flexes its muscles in Europe, Defense Secretary Ash Carter and senior military leaders realize the enemy is changing, which is why they are signaling for a shift in the talent makeup in the military.\nThe Army\u2019s guidance given to promotion boards in 2016 reflected Carter\u2019s call for a different kind of soldier; one that is creative and has advanced civilian degrees and broad experiences.\nIn that case, it would seem that Capt. Jim Perkins, executive director of the Defense Entrepreneurs Forum, an innovation engine of emerging defense leaders, would be a shoe-in for promotion. Perkins, also earned his M.B.A. from Georgetown University while in the Army.\nSpecial Report Overview\nNot only is he a high achiever, but he\u2019s willing to pass up a much higher salary in the private sector in order to serve the public good.\nAs part of Federal News Radio\u2019s special report The Army is Shortchanging its Future Force, Perkins said his experience is one example of how the Army is forcing out talented, promising and innovative officers from its ranks.\n*** Barack Obama, Neutral Nets, self driving cars and future of the world\nJoi Ito, Scott Dadich, and President Barack Obama photographed in the Roosevelt Room of the White House on August 24, 2016.\nIT\u2019S HARD TO think of a single technology that will shape our world more in the next 50 years than artificial intelligence. As machine learning enables our computers to teach themselves, a wealth of breakthroughs emerge, ranging from medical diagnostics to cars that drive themselves. A whole lot of worry emerges as well. Who controls this technology? Will it take over our jobs? Is it dangerous? President Obama was eager to address these concerns. The person he wanted to talk to most about them? Entrepreneur and MIT Media Lab director Joi Ito. So I sat down with them in the White House to sort through the hope, the hype, and the fear around AI. That and maybe just one quick question about Star Trek. \u2014SCOTT DADICH\nSCOTT DADICH: Thank you both for being here. How\u2019s your day been so far, Mr. President?\nBARACK OBAMA: Busy. Productive. You know, a couple of international crises here and there.\nDADICH: I want to center our conversation on artificial intelligence, which has gone from science fiction to a reality that\u2019s changing our lives. When was the moment you knew that the age of real AI was upon us?\nNovember 2016. Subscribe to WIRED.\nOBAMA: My general observation is that it has been seeping into our lives in all sorts of ways, and we just don\u2019t notice; and part of the reason is because the way we think about AI is colored by popular culture. There\u2019s a distinction, which is probably familiar to a lot of your readers, between generalized AI and specialized AI. In science fiction, what you hear about is generalized AI, right? Computers start getting smarter than we are and eventually conclude that we\u2019re not all that useful, and then either they\u2019re drugging us to keep us fat and happy or we\u2019re in the Matrix. My impression, based on talking to my top science advisers, is that we\u2019re still a reasonably long way away from that. It\u2019s worth thinking about because it stretches our imaginations and gets us thinking about the issues of choice and free will that actually do have some significant applications for specialized AI, which is about using algorithms and computers to figure out increasingly complex tasks. We\u2019ve been seeing specialized AI in every aspect of our lives, from medicine and transportation to how electricity is distributed, and it promises to create a vastly more productive and efficient economy. If properly harnessed, it can generate enormous prosperity and opportunity. But it also has some downsides that we\u2019re gonna have to figure out in terms of not eliminating jobs. It could increase inequality. It could suppress wages.\n*** Responding to China's Strategic Use of Combined Effects\nDownload PDF file of \"Issues & Insights Vol. 16 - No. 17 - Responding to China's Strategic Use of Combined Effects\"\nChina is wielding superior strategies that envelop opponents with expedient instruments of national power. Drawing from a rich tradition of comprehensive and indirect stratagems, Chinese leaders use a variety of methods notably absent in US strategy.\nThe core of Chinese strategy consists of combining preventative and causative effects, such as defend and coerce, deter and compel, dissuade and persuade, secure and induce. By combining these different effects, China forces others into disadvantageous outcomes. This paper reveals Chinese strategy as complex forms of confrontation and cooperation, and recommends a countervailing US strategy of combined effects.\nChinese strategy is based on simple distinctions that produce complex warfare. The operating logic is this: psychological and physical tools target an actor\u2019s will and capability to create complex effects difficult to counter. In psychological confrontation, China intimidates will and neutralizes capability to Deter \u2013 Compel. In psychological cooperation, China assures will and enhances capability to Dissuade - Persuade. In physical confrontation, China punishes will and denies capability to Defend - Coerce. In physical cooperation, China demonstrates will and exercises capability to Secure \u2013 Induce. These differences create inexhaustible permutations.\nUsing this language, we examine variants of combined effects that the People\u2019s Republic of China (PRC) has constructed to secure its territorial integrity. The cases involve 16 border disputes since the PRC\u2019s founding in 1949. Overall, China\u2019s pattern is to lead with inducement and follow up with other effects to isolate, divide and force accommodation by its intended targets.\nIn order to compete with China\u2019s multiple effects, the U.S. needs offsets that integrate advanced technologies into synergistic strategies. Superior weapons technology is not enough. To prevail against China\u2019s comprehensive strategy, American military power needs to contribute to the sustainment of combined effects. This is no simple feat for any government, but it has been a chronic challenge for pluralistic democracies to pull off. US national security strategy needs to organize its fragmented national capabilities into flexible lines of effect.\n** Sticks and Stones\nThe U.S. has faced some tough words from foreign leaders of late, but does it matter?\nIt wouldn\u2019t be a normal day in the Philippines if President Rodrigo Duterte weren\u2019t finding new and inventive ways to insult the United States. Two days after the U.S. State Department said it would halt the sale of 26,000 assault rifles to Philippine police forces on account of opposition in the Senate, Duterte said in a televised speech: \u201cLook at these monkeys, the 26,000 firearms we wanted to buy, they don\u2019t want to sell. Son of a bitch, we have many home-made guns here. These American fools.\u201d\nPhilippine President Rodrigo Duterte is surrounded by the media as he answers questions following his inspection of Japan's coast guard drills in Yokohama on Oct. 27, 2016.\nEvery time Duterte says something like this, the headlines the following day are easy to predict. The U.S. is losing an ally in the important Asia-Pacific region. U.S. power is eroding before the world\u2019s eyes. China looks like the dominant power of the region. And then the news cycle runs its course, and Duterte is quiet for a few days, and the U.S. and the Philippines continue to cooperate like two allies who have had a Mutual Defense Treaty for the last 65 years, until Duterte says something again and the cycle repeats itself.\nDuterte is the prototypical anti-U.S. politician right now, but the U.S. has plenty of relationships with countries whose leaders have insulted the United States. Consider the U.S. relationship with one of its most important allies in the world: Turkey. After the failed military coup in Turkey, President Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan purged many sectors of society. The U.S. criticized Turkey for this, and Erdo\u011fan fired back by pointing a finger at the United States, claiming Washington was behind the coup.\n** One Wonders: It Happens Only in India !!\nBy Lt Gen Gautam Banerjee\nhttp://www.indiandefencereview.com/news/one-wonders-it-happens-only-in-india/\nIt is said that morale makes a soldier, sailor and airman victorious against extreme and unforgiving odds. Therefore it comes as a surprise that while the Indian state finds Pakistan as an enemy state and China as an adversarial one, and remains tormented by an unending succession of internal revolts, the Ministry of Defence of the Government of India leave no limits breached in serving the cause of these inimical forces to de-motivate the Indian soldiery \u2013 the term \u2018soldiery\u2019 here bring synonymous to the warriors in the three Services. In so doing, the defence bureaucracy takes advantage of cluelessness, and perhaps carelessness, of their political bosses \u2013 the Defence, Finance and the Prime Ministers \u2013 to stir up mischief that must be unthinkable against the pristine majesty of the state.\nSimple facts, dismaying no end, are illustrative. But the import of these may be truly appreciated only when tested against the principles of just governance. These principles recognise the salience of the final effects on the ground, and on the people, rather than motivated interpretations of rules and partisan trickery with rules, regulations and procedures. The defence bureaucracy\u2019s abuse of such principles, just to keep the military institution in a perpetual state of professional and social starvation, is actually out of tune with the modern trends that have been adopted in all other Ministries. The urge to perpetuate that state of affairs is so compelling that even the interventions of the nation\u2019s apex Court are brazenly diverted and deflected without compunction. But the main concern here is that the partisan trickeries being played in all of the Departments of the Ministry of Defence and its Finance Division relate to military morale and its culture of \u2018nation-before-self\u2019 that is fundamental to India\u2019s power to protect her sovereignty and integrity as a nation-state, and that takes generations to build but just few acts of dishonesty to destroy.\nReams have been written in the media about the machinations and intrigues, and exposure of the defence bureaucracy\u2019s subversion of the well being of the Indian soldiery. Therefore, just certain indicators should suffice to point out as to how the soldiery is being purposefully pushed into a sense of cynicism against the state it fights for, cynicism that could poison its so far invincible nationalist fervour. Consider the following representative examples, that \u2018it happens only in India\u2019:-\nWhat Borrowing Trends Say About the German Economy\nGerman businesses are relying less on external funding.\nThis week began with the release of numerous positive monthly statistics for the German economy. The Munich-based Ifo Institute\u2019s latest German business climate index noted that business managers\u2019 optimism has risen, considering that the index value for October is not only higher than last month but at its highest level in more than two years. At the same time, the Purchasing Managers\u2019 Index, compiled by IHS Markit and used by the European Central Bank to assess the health of the region\u2019s economy, indicated an accelerated increase in German business activity in October compared to September.\nGerman Chancellor Angela Merkel speaks at the Christian Democratic Union Economics Conference of the Economic Council on June 09, 2015 in Berlin, Germany. The Economic Council (Wirtschaftsrat der CDU e.V.) is a German business association representing the interests of more than 11,000 small- and medium-sized firms, as well as larger multinational companies. Axel Schmidt/Getty Images\nIn addition, the Cologne Institute for Economic Research forecast that German exports to the U.K. will fall by just 6 percent next year due to the devaluation of the pound in relation to the euro following Brexit and that this decline will only marginally affect Germany\u2019s economic performance in 2017. Lastly, the German development bank KfW released its latest report on the German middle class and small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) on Oct. 25. It noted not only that the middle class is in \u201cexcellent shape\u201d but that SMEs are continuing their strong performance, with stable sales growth of 3.3 percent and an equity ratio of 30 percent. All these developments seem to indicate that Germany has again become the driving force of the European economy.\nPakistan's polity doesn't have capacity to sustain normal ties with India\nOn whether he sees any prospect for resolution of the Kashmir issue, Menon, who has been India's High Commissioner to Pakistan, replied in the negative.\nNEW YORK: Pakistan's polity does not have the capacity to sustain a normal relationship with India, former foreign secretary and national security advisor Shivshankar Menon has said as he characterized relations between the two nuclear-armed neighbors as \"managed hostility\".\n\"I would characterize (India-Pakistan relations) today as managed hostility, which I hope it stays managed,\" Menon said in response to a question on relations between the two nations at a panel discussion organised by the 'South Asia centre at New York University' here yesterday.\nHe said many of the issues relating to Kashmir have been around for a long time and \"we know the solutions\" to many of them but they seem to be \"politically difficult\" to serve.\n\"Today I don't think Pakistan's polity has the capacity to sustain a normal relationship with India. I think there is a very strong institutional interest there,\" he said.\nMenon, who has authored the book 'Choices: Inside the Making of Indian Foreign Policy', however added that his \"fear\" is that if \"it becomes a party political issue in India, which it has not always been, then you have the same dynamic operating.\"\nHe emphasized that expectations in India on any improved relations with Pakistan are \"very very low\" particularly after the 26/11 Mumbai attacks.\nGetting a Grip on Issues Regarding Forward Areas\nhttp://www.indiandefencereview.com/getting-a-grip-on-issues-regarding-forward-areas/\nWhether senior or junior, bureaucrats serving in the ministries of Defence, Home Affairs and Finance, should spend a weekend every month in the border areas. It should be seen as a \u2018refresher course\u2019\nSomething made my Diwali special this year: Prime Minister Narendra Modi spent the day with officers and jawans of the Indian Army, the Indo-Tibetan Border Police Force (ITBPF) and the Dogra Scouts who man the Tibet-India border in Kinnaur and Lahaul-Spiti districts of Himachal Pradesh.\nThe borders have always been neglected by Indian politicians, mostly busy preparing for the next election in their constituencies. It is truly a positive development to see the Prime Minister visiting the borders.\nThough it was announced that Modi would be with the ITBPF at the Mana border post in Uttarakhand\u2019s Chamoli district, he finally went to Kinnaur. Probably for security concerns, a diversionary announcement was made.\nAfter landing at Chango, an Army and ITBP camp in Lahaul-Spiti, the Prime Minister travelled to Sumdo in Kinnaur district, where he distributed sweets to the jawans: \u201cOur forces endure grave hardships for our security. If we remember them while being in a festive mood, our remembrance will give them strength and renewed energy\u201d, he declared.\nTibet's Party Boss visits Indian Border\nhttp://www.indiandefencereview.com/spotlights/tibets-party-boss-visits-indian-border/\nAccording to The China Daily, Wu Yingjie, the Party Secretary of the Tibet Autonomous Region, visited Y\u00fcm\u00e9 (or Yumai) \u2018the most sparsely populated town in China\u2019 on October 12.\nThe village (termed as a \u2018township\u2019 by China) is located north of the McMahon Line (and the Upper Subansiri district of Arunachal).\nIt is a border village with India.\nThe China Daily reported that Wu met frontier troops in the remote area: \u201c[Wu] conducted a field survey on how to promote development and stabilization of the border region, people\u2019s livelihood, grass-root-level Party building and poverty alleviation.\u201d\nThe Chinese publication adds: \u201cSetting out from Lhasa, capital of Tibet Autonomous Region, you must drive 400km to reach Lhunze [Lhuntse] county, Shannan city [in Lhoka] and another 200km muddy mountain road to reach the township.\u201d The \u2018township\u2019 covers an area of 1,976 square kilometers and has one village comprising nine families \u2026and 32 people.\nWu Yingjie told the local residents: \u201cYou defend the border areas of our country and protect our country from being nibbled or divided. I salute you.\u201d\nA flag raising ceremony was held in Y\u00fcm\u00e9 on the occasion of the Party boss.\nThe China Daily notes: \u201cFrontier soldiers and local residents patrol in the township.\nEvery resident of the township has a strong awareness of border defense and make it part of their life,\u201d adding \u201cThough far away and less populated, Yumai township is not under-developed. It once had only one family. Then cadres and doctors were dispatched there by the government and the road, power station and health center were built to make it more suitable for living. By 2015, the residents\u2019 per capita disposable income reached 26,000 yuan ($3,838).\u201d\nWho is to verify this?\nSchool Burning: Turning the Clock Back in Kashmir\nhttp://www.indiandefencereview.com/school-burning-turning-the-clock-back-in-kashmir/\nIn the last 48 hours, more than three schools have been burnt in South Kashmir taking the tally to 25 so far since July 9 \u2014 a day after Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani was gunned down by security forces.\nWhy are schools being targeted and why are only government school buildings being burnt? Is it to destroy government property or is it part of a bigger sinister game plan?\nThe separatists and the fundamentalists in the Kashmir Valley are determined to turn back the clock and take the Valley once again to the medieval era where the Maulvis and Qazis ruled the roost and their writ ran unchallenged. They want the common Kashmiris to remain ignorant, poorly educated and under-developed so that they continue to hold sway over the masses as well as keep them deprived of the benefits of modern education that is mandatory to enjoy the benefits of development and economic growth.\n\u201cGreat minds are always feared by lesser minds,\u201d goes an old saying. It would answer the question as to why schools are being targeted. Schools are temples of learning. They impart knowledge. Through proper curriculum, schools imbibe the quality of reasoning in young minds, cultivate the spirit of nationalism and inculcate the habit of acquiring knowledge through the process of learning.\nKnowledge is power. Knowledge allows one to decide what would be best for one to do. This is what the self-appointed leaders of radicalisation fear \u2014 and hence want to deprive young Kashmiris of knowledge. Their target is the future generations of Kashmiris so that they can have unbridled hold over them.\nHow to reduce South Asia's nuclear dangers\nIn the near term, prospects for South Asian nuclear disarmament appear dim. Assuming that nuclear weapons won't soon be eliminated from the subcontinent, what measures are available to India, Pakistan, outside nations, and international organizations that might reduce the risk of a South Asian nuclear exchange?\nIndia and Pakistan continuously increase their stockpiles of fissile material. Pakistan possesses battlefield nuclear weapons that it threatens to deploy against India. New Delhi is close to completingdeployment of a nuclear triad. Non-state actors in South Asia pose a perpetual threat of gaining access to nuclear weapons or materials. Artillery fire along the India-Pakistan border is frequent.\nFor all these reasons, the nuclear situation in South Asia demands attention. But with Islamabad and New Delhi unlikely to slow their nuclear weapons development amid the long-standing antagonism and mistrust between the two sides, can anything be done to reduce nuclear risk in the region? Yes\u2014initiatives of three kinds stand out for their potential to enhance South Asian nuclear stability. First, New Delhi and Islamabad could undertake bilateral cooperation in nuclear security. Second, the two sides could\u2014with international help\u2014seek to improve the region's nuclear cybersecurity. And India and Pakistan could commit, in one fashion or another, to the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty.\nImproving nuclear security. An ongoing concern in South Asia is that terrorist groups might gain access to nuclear materials, either to use these materials in attacks or to use them as bargaining chips against either New Delhi or Islamabad.\nUS involvement is critical for South Asian arms control\nMario E. Carranza\nhttp://thebulletin.org/how-reduce-south-asias-nuclear-dangers\nSouth Asia's nuclearization has transformed the Indo-Pakistani conflict from a regional matter into a global issue. An exchange of 100 nuclear weapons between the two nations could kill 20 million people within a week and could also reduce global temperatures by 1.3 degrees Celsius, putting up to 2 billion additional people at risk of famine.\nRealist scholars have long argued that to prevent the use of nuclear weapons in an Indo-Pakistani war, the two countries must achieve stable nuclear deterrence. Achieving this goal has come to seem increasingly difficult, if not impossible, and recent changes in India and Pakistan's nuclear doctrines and conventional strategies have made nuclear relations even more unstable. For example, the Indian Army's Cold Start doctrine involves quick conventional attacks\u2014launched in retaliation for a terrorist attack by a Pakistan-based jihadi organization and intended not to provoke Pakistan into a first use of nuclear weapons. But Pakistan says it would respond to a Cold Start offensive with low-yield nuclear weapons.\nThe conventional wisdom is that India maintains a \"recessed deterrence posture\"\u2014during peacetime, nuclear warheads are not mated with delivery systems and warheads themselves are not fully assembled. According to Debalina Ghoshal of the Delhi Policy Group, recessed deterrence contributes to strategic stability in Indo-Pakistani relations. But according to political scientist Vipin Narang of MIT, the belief that India keeps its nuclear weapons in a disassembled state \"is largely now a myth. \u2026 [I]t seems likely that all of India's nuclear missile systems will eventually be deployed in a near-ready 'canisterized' state, which is a far cry from the prevailing perception that India maintains its nuclear force in a relatively recessed state.\" Pakistan's nuclear weapons, meanwhile, are apparently ready for use at any time, and authority to use nuclear weapons during military crises with India has reportedly been pre-delegated to Pakistani field commanders since 2000. It's too late now for true recessed deterrence in South Asia, and stable nuclear deterrence is probably impossible on the subcontinent.\nSouth Asia: Beyond crisis management\nRather than \"too much Uncle Sam\"\u2014that's how a subheading in Rabia Akhtar's first essay expressed the author's view\u2014the problem in South Asia is \"too little Uncle Sam.\"\nAkhtar is concerned about India and Pakistan's inability to \"grow up\" and end their dependence on US management of nuclear crises. I share her concern, but unless Washington forces New Delhi and Islamabad to stop their nuclear arms race and take arms control seriously, the two South Asian nations will continue playing with nuclear fire. Pure bilateralism, without any US pressure, is a dead-end street\u2014witness the two countries' inability to prevent the current crisis over the Uri attack.\nWhat India and Pakistan require is more US involvement (along with a multilateral effort to reduce nuclear dangers, both globally and in South Asia). Washington's ultimate goal in the region must be denuclearization. Nuclear arms control would be a first step in that direction.\nAkhtar claims that US influence over the South Asian rivals \"is less pronounced\u2026 than my roundtable colleagues seem to believe.\" But Pakistan still depends on US economic and military aid. And the United States could use its leverage over India\u2014made possible by the US-India nuclear deal\u2014to encourage India to disavow its army's Cold Start Doctrine. Meanwhile, Washington could exert strong pressure on the Pakistani military to enforce the illegal status of allanti-Indian jihadi terrorist groups based on Pakistani territory. India might then reduce its military pressure on Pakistan, allowing the Pakistanis to feel more secure. Islamabad then might agree\u2014under US pressure\u2014not to deploy tactical nuclear weapons. The Indians might then make a similar pledge. This would amount to a \"graduated and reciprocated initiative in tension reduction\" of the sort identified by British economist and peace activist Kenneth Boulding. The result would be significant reduction in the risk of a South Asian nuclear exchange.\nXi Jinping gets a new title\nHe wants to show who\u2019s boss in the struggle that will now unfold\nCOMMUNIST leaders relish weird and wonderful titles. Kim Jong Il, the late father of North Korea\u2019s current \u201cGreat Leader\u201d, was, on special occasions, \u201cDear Leader who is a perfect incarnation of the appearance that a leader should have\u201d (it doesn\u2019t sound much better in Korean). China\u2019s rulers like a more prosaic, mysterious epithet: hexin, meaning \u201cthe core\u201d. Xi Jinping\u2014China\u2019s president, commander-in-chief, Communist Party boss and so forth\u2014is now also officially \u201cthe core\u201d, having been called that in a report issued by the party\u2019s Central Committee after a recent annual meeting.\nThe term was made up in 1989 by Deng Xiaoping, apparently to give his anointed successor, Jiang Zemin, greater credibility after the bloody suppression of the Tiananmen Square protests. Just as Mao had been the core of the first generation of party leaders and Deng himself of the second, so Mr Jiang was of the third. (Hu Jintao, Mr Xi\u2019s predecessor, was supposedly offered the title of fourth-generation core but modestly turned it down.)\nBeing core confers no extra powers. Mr Xi has little need of those; he is chairman of everything anyway. Status, though, is what really matters in China (Deng ruled the country for a while with no other title than honorary chairman of the China Bridge Association). And Mr Xi seems to be finding that all his formal power does not convey enough. Early this year, in what looked like a testing of the waters, a succession of provincial party leaders kowtowed verbally to Xi-the-core. But the term soon disappeared from public discourse. Its revival makes it look as if Mr Xi has won a struggle to claim it.\n*** Why China And The U.S. Need Each Other In Space\nSpace may be miles above us, but how it is being used - and by whom - is becoming increasingly important here on Earth. As of now, the United States leads the world inspace exploration and exploitation, but China is determined to narrow the gap. Beijing has set its sights on becoming a major power in space, and in the next two decades it could surpass veterans in the field such as Russia, perhaps even someday rivaling the United States itself.\nIt may come as little surprise, then, that Washington and Beijing rarely consider each other partners in space. Though not for lack of trying on China's part, U.S. leaders are suspicious of Beijing's intentions, particularly since the Chinese space program remains shrouded in secrecy. China's propensity for stealing technology is only added cause for concern in Washington, as is the Chinese army's interest in using civil and commercial advances in space for military gain.\nIn fact, in some ways the United States' current competition with China is not unlike its Cold War-era space race with the Soviet Union. Today's contest, however, is unfolding in a profoundly different atmosphere. Space is no longer a theater reserved for the world's militaries, and as the skies become more crowded, the costs of an accidental confrontation are rising. At a time when many civil space programsare struggling to stretch their shrinking budgets to cover growing expenses, most countries can no longer afford to pursue their lofty ambitions in space on their own. The United States and China are no exception, and despite their mutual distrust, they may have no choice but to work together to achieve some of their common goals in space.\nA History of U.S. Unease\nFor decades, the United States has watched China's burgeoning space program with growing apprehension. Washington's fears initially did not stop it from allowing U.S. companies to use Chinese launch systems to put satellites into orbit. After a string of failures in the mid-1990s, however, the United States began to distance itself from its Chinese competitor.\nWith another rocket success, China solidifies place in space industry\nBy Ellen Powell, Staff\nThe new Long March 5 rocket launched successfully on Thursday. The rocket could be used to support a Chinese space station and send an uncrewed mission to Mars.\nA nation\u2019s dream of journeying to Mars took flight in Wenchang, China, on Thursday. For now, though, the latest contender in the space race is sticking a little closer to home.\nThe new Long March 5 rocket launched successfully from the Wenchang Space Launch Center. The rocket measures 187 feet, making it the largest produced by China. It can carry 25 tons of payload into low-Earth orbit. The rocket carried a satellite that will be used to test a variety of technologies, from observing space debris to electric propulsion.\nThe rocket is an integral part of the growing Chinese space program. It lays the groundwork for future missions, such as China\u2019s plan to have a fully-crewed space station by 2022 and send an uncrewed mission to Mars some time between 2024 and the end of the decade.\n\"Its successful launch has propelled China to the forefront of the world in terms of rocket carrying capacity, and marks a milestone in China's transition from a major player in space to a major power in space,\" the ruling Communist Party\u2019s Central Committee and the Central Military Commission wrote in a letter, according to Chinese news agency Xinhua.\nExcluded from participating in the International Space Station project, China has been assiduously growing its own space program. The country hopes to become an \u201caerospace power,\u201d President Xi Jinping said, according to NBC News.\nThe vulnerability of the Chinese Corridor\nGame theory suggests India\u2019s dismay over the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor might be unfounded\nAfter the Uri attacks, Pakistan\u2019s special Kashmir envoy Mushahid Hussain Syed declared that the US was a waning power, suggesting that Pakistan was seeking out other allies. The reference was to China, a country that has been courting Pakistan for several years through a number of means including assistance in its nuclear programme.\nOf late, there has been much talk of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) that stretches from the autonomous region of Xinjiang to the Gwadar port. This corridor\u2014which includes road, rail and port infrastructure\u2014is expected to allow China to avoid the vulnerable Indian Ocean route currently used to transport oil from the Gulf. It will also enable Pakistan to create an alternative to the US for patronage while bringing economic development in desperately poor regions including Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK).\nIndia has noted the development of the project with some dismay. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is believed to have brought up the issue of the economic corridor passing through PoK in his bilateral meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the G20 summit in September. Game theory, a subject that came of age at the height of the cold war between the US and the Soviet Union, suggests our dismay might be unfounded.\nTop 10 American Misconceptions about China (Version 3)\nMisconception 1: China is a communist country\nChina is no longer a communist country per se! China was a communist country from 1949 to 1976. China embraced capitalism after Mao died in 1976. Today, China is more capitalistic than America in many ways.\nChina has a one-party political system. The ruling party is called the CPC (Communist Party of China). This unfortunate name has given the American political-media complex a good excuse to keep referring to China as \"communist China\" to impugn the country and arouse distrust in America. However, it's not true and it's done only to mislead Americans.\nMisconception 2: China is a threat to America\nChina is not an enemy to America. Economically, China is a competitor to America. The use of the word \"threat\" is distraction and clearly un-American!\nMilitarily, China has never been a threat to America! For example, in 2015, China's 2015 military spending was $145 billion vs. America's $600 billion. China did increase its military spending in 2015 by 10%, which was characterized by America's mainstream media as a \"ballooning\" military budget. Where else on earth could this kind of talk have been possible other than in America? Thanks to \"brainwashing\" (Brainwashing in Communism and in Democracy)!\nIn 2015, America spent more on her military than the next 10 top spenders combined! Worse yet, America is the only country that has been spending like that for decades! Why so much? Because the MIC (Military Industrial Complex) has powerful lobbyists in Washington and has convinced our politicians (with enormous gifts) that the rest of the world is just waiting to subjugate us! Due to our perpetual military interventions, America has been, since the Cold War ended in 1991, a major source of instability around the world, especially in the Mideast.\nHow The Next U.S. President Can Contain China In Cyberspace\nROB KNAKE ADAM SEGAL\nhttps://jia.sipa.columbia.edu/how-next-us-president-can-contain-china-cyberspace\nThis piece will appear in the Winter 2016 issue of the Journal of International Affairs.\nThe next president should keep the pressure on China, but that requires following the Obama administration playbook.\nWhen transition planning gets underway in earnest this fall, one of the hardest memos to write will be the outbrief from the current National Security Council (NSC) team on what to do about China\u2019s ongoing campaign of cyber espionage targeting the intellectual property of U.S. companies. While long a focus of both the president\u2019s cyber and China teams, there is little chance that in the coming months the issue is going to be brought to any type of resolution. Instead, the next president will inherit a partially implemented plan that has produced positive results in the short term, but its long-term sustainability remains uncertain. He or she would be wise to follow the playbook left by the Obama administration, with a redoubled focus on the investigation and prosecution of cybercrime.\nCritics of the administration on this topic generally fall into two camps. One, summed up nicely by the title of a book by Peter Kiernan, is the Becoming China\u2019s Bitch camp.[1] In this view, the United States is so dependent on China that the Chinese can do what they want and there is little Americans can do to stop them. They hold U.S. debt, Americans can\u2019t manufacture anything without them, Chinese students are leaps and bounds smarter than American students, and there are millions more of them studying science and math. The Chinese are strategic, looking around the corner of history and shaping it in their interests. They are playing three-dimensional chess and President Obama has been playing checkers. They put the blame on what they would characterize as Obama\u2019s willingness to \u201clead from behind.\u201d They then quote Sun Tzu, reference Unrestricted Warfare, and drop the mic.[2]\nIn the nuclear order, what role for China?\nhttp://thebulletin.org/nuclear-order-what-role-china\nIf China's economic and military power continues growing as in the recent past, Beijing can be expected to play a more active part in addressing geopolitical challenges, including the challenge of nuclear disarmament and nonproliferation. Is the role that China plays today in the nuclear arena appropriate to its national circumstances\u2014and how should Beijing address disarmament and nonproliferation as its power and confidence increase?\nChina\u2019s growing economic and military capabilities may have increased expectations in the United States. But the Chinese Communist Party takes a more modest view of its ability to address geopolitical challenges, including the challenge of nuclear disarmament.\nLimits to growth. The Chinese government is responsible for the welfare of nearly a fifth of humanity. According to the World Bank, China ranks 71st among all nations in gross domestic product per capita. Chinese leaders see the enormous size of their population as a significant constraint on the nation's economic capabilities. They wish their counterparts in the United States were more understanding.\nDemographic constraints on China\u2019s long-term economic prospects led the Chinese Communist Party to fix military expenditures at approximately 2 percent of GDP: a percentage it has maintained since 1988. Comparatively high rates of annual economic growthhave allowed corresponding annual increases in military spending, but as the Chinese economy matures and its growth rate slows, military expenditures are likely to follow suit.\nAn obligation, not a luxury. China's leaders are aware that their participation in international nuclear arms control negotiations is not predicated on attaining a certain level of economic or military development. They understand that it is required under the terms of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). The most important obligation China incurred by acceding to the NPT in 1992\u2014an obligation it shares with the other four nations (the United States, Russia, the United Kingdom, and France) temporarily allowed to retain nuclear weapons\u2014is to \"pursue negotiations in good faith\" on \"a treaty on general and complete disarmament.\"\nBlood, Dirt and Bombs: Battle for Mosul is Fierce Urban War\nAs Iraqi troops battled to gain ground a few streets away, soldiers in the Mosul district of Intisar wrapped a wounded and bloodied colleague in a blanket, lifted him off his Humvee, and sped him away from the frontlines for treatment.\nHeavy shooting and mortar fire shook the neighborhood, which the soldiers were trying to recapture from Islamic State militants who have held Mosul for more than two years.\nFighting their way into the city this week, soldiers have gained a foothold in the eastern districts. A trip to the battlefront by Reuters journalists, one of the first visits into Mosul itself, showed the scale of the battle they face.\nThe thud of explosions boomed across the city streets and black smoke rose from an area about five blocks away. Many buildings were covered in a layer of black soot and one yellow house had a hole blown into it\u2026\nThe battle to drive Islamic State out of Mosul is the biggest ground operation in Iraq since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003, and is likely to decide the fate of the self-proclaimed Islamic State caliphate that has defied the world since 2014\u2026\nEnergy 2050: Insights from the ground up\nBy Scott Nyquist\nHow will the world satisfy its need for energy? McKinsey research offers a perspective.\nWhen it comes to energy, there is one matter everyone agrees on. For the near future, at least, the world will need more of it\u2014and how it is produced and used will be a critical factor in the future of the global economy, geopolitics, and the environment. With that in mind, McKinsey took a hard look at the data, modeling energy demand from the bottom up, by country, sector, and fuel mix, with an analysis of current conditions, historical data, and country-level assessments. On this basis, McKinsey\u2019s Global Energy Insights team has put together a description of the global energy landscape to 2050.\nIt is important to remember that this is a business-as-usual scenario. That is, it does not anticipate big disruptions in either the production or use of energy. And, of course, predicting the future of anything is perilous. With those caveats in mind, here are four of the most interesting insights from this research.\nGlobal energy demand will continue to grow. But growth will be slower\u2014an average of about 0.7 percent a year through 2050 (versus an average of more than 2 percent from 2000 to 2015). The decline in the rate of growth is due to digitization, slower population and economic growth, greater efficiency, a decline in European and North American demand, and the global economic shift toward services, which use less energy than the production of goods. For example, in India, the percentage of GDP derived from services is expected to rise from 54 to 64 percent by 2035. And efficiency is a forthright good-news story. By 2035, McKinsey research expects that it will take almost 40 percent less fuel to propel a fossil-fueled car a mile than it does now. By 2050, global \u201cenergy intensity\u201d\u2014that is, how much energy is used to produce each unit of GDP\u2014will be half what it was in 2013. That may sound optimistic, but it is based on recent history. From 1990 to 2015, global energy intensity improved by almost a third, and it is reasonable to expect the rate of progress to accelerate.\nIsraeli intelligence agencies see downside in Mosul\nShi'ite militias launch offensive to seal off western Mosul. Photo from Twitter/Reuters\nIsrael\u2019s intelligence agencies are closely monitoring the advance on the ISIS bastion in the Iraqi city of Mosul, and they are not optimistic about the outcome either for Iraq or themselves.\nA report issued Sunday by the Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center (ITIC), a security think tank, predicts a long siege and sectarian bloodbath in Mosul and an increased likelihood of ISIS attacks on Israel and its vulnerable neighbor Jordan.\n\u201cThis fear on Israel\u2019s part is based on an assessment that conditions exist in Jordan that can turn significant portions of the population into Islamic State supporters,\u201d said Shlomo Brom, formerly the director of the Israeli army\u2019s strategic planning division. \u201cThe uniqueness of the Islamic State phenomenon lies in the fact that it expanded beyond the borders of one Arab state, both in its ideology and its operations.\u201d\nCiting ISIS activity in Kirkuk, al-Rumba and Sinjar, the ITIC report says that \u201cterrorist attacks and guerrilla warfare can be expected to continue in other arenas to divert attention and resources from the campaign for Mosul and to raise the morale of ISIS\u2019s supporters in Iraq and Syria and beyond.\u201d\nIsrael\u2019s connection to the Mosul area traces back to the British Mandate period before the proclamation of the state, when a pipeline ran from the oil fields in Kirkuk through Jordan to the port of Haifa. The assumption is that ITIC reports are based on human, signal and open source intelligence.\nIsrael has long maintained a policy of providing covert military assistance to Kurdish groups, and in the past decade extended increased humanitarian aid to the both Kurds and Yazidi Christians in northern Iraq.\n*** Here\u2019s How the Pentagon Wants to Use Social Me...\n*** The future is now: How to win the resource rev...\n*** How Army\u2019s archaic evaluation system is hurtin...\n*** Barack Obama, Neutral Nets, self driving cars...\n*** Responding to China's Strategic Use of Combine...\nWhat Borrowing Trends Say About the German Economy...\nPakistan's polity doesn't have capacity to sustain...\nUS involvement is critical for South Asian arms co...\n*** Why China And The U.S. Need Each Other In Spac...\nWith another rocket success, China solidifies plac...\nTop 10 American Misconceptions about China (Versio...\nHow The Next U.S. President Can Contain China In C...\nBlood, Dirt and Bombs: Battle for Mosul is Fierce ...\nIsraeli intelligence agencies see downside in Mosu...\nRUSSIA\u2019S TACTICS AND STRATEGY IN THE SOUTH CHINA S...\nThe War by Other Means in Eastern Ukraine\nThe complicated geopolitics of renewable energy\nThe U.S. Government And Zero-Day Vulnerabilities: ...\nExperts and Defense Officials Clash Over Offensive...\nADP 3-0: A Theory of War Disconnected from Operati...\nFifty Shades of Friction Combat Climate, B-52 Crew...\nA Personal Reflection on Introducing Design to the...",

        "raw_content": "India and Japan Boost Relations With High-Tech Focus\nBy Sangeeta Mahapatra\nIn scenic Yamanashi, where Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi met over a private dinner and a brief tutorial on the use of chopsticks, there was a clear sense of bonhomie and trust. The 13th annual meeting between the leaders of the two countries included a visit to a Fuji Automatic Numerical Control (FANUC) factory.\nDeep in the forests near Mount Fuji, the largest industrial robot manufacturer in the world showcased products that help keep the assembly lines of some of the leading global brands, including Apple, running. The visit was significant, not only because it showed growing bilateral cooperation in emerging technologies between India and Japan, but also because it highlighted the shift toward leaner, more globally competitive, manufacturing aided by automation, artificial intelligence (AI), and the creation of new skills sets. There are other implications too: increased cooperation in areas including defence, as evident from the goals of co-development and co-production in the Japan-India Vision 2025. In July 2018, the two sides agreed to collaborate on dual-use technologies to strengthen defence cooperation, including research on unmanned ground vehicle robotics.\nHow did Sri Lanka find itself in a crisis and how will it affect its foreign policy?\nThe Diplomat\u2018s Ankit Panda (@nktpnd) and Prashanth Parameswaran (@TheAsianist) discuss the new constitutional crisis in Sri Lanka and its regional implications.\nClick the arrow to the right to listen.

But the \u201csoft war\u201d for the hearts and minds of Southeast Asian countries is clearly intensifying and the United States has suffered some recent setbacks.\n\u201cSoft power\u201d is the capability to use economic or cultural influence to shape the preferences of others. The soft power struggle between China and the United States for influence in the region has become much more equal in capacity and effect than Washington would like. Indeed, some argue that the United States is losing \u2014 or will eventually lose.\nThe Great Indo-Pacific Misread\nDhruva Jaishankar\u2019s recent Strategist post and Huong Le Thu\u2019s ASPI special report are useful correctives to the widespread misreading of the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue. That infrequent, irregular meetings of (not the most) senior officials from the US, Japan, India and Australia are seen as a threat to ASEAN centrality and/or a containment device against China tells us more about particular ASEAN and Chinese sensitivities than it does about the Quad. ASEAN organises dozens of regular meetings at this same level every year, and all of them rightfully pass by with little or no mention.\nThe overanalysis of the Quad and the cognitive trap behind it have coloured analysts\u2019 interpretations of current concepts of the Indo-Pacific region. The international relations analysis of the \u2018region\u2019 in this part of the world has been captured by a particular understanding of that term that suits the power-enhancing interests of ASEAN, the states of Southeast Asia, and China quite well.\nThe Reforms China Needs\nUnder pressure from Donald Trump\u2019s tariffs, China might be tempted to try to stimulate aggregate demand using short-term measures, much as it did after the 2008 global economic crisis. A better strategy, however, would be to focus on structural reforms. NEW YORK \u2013 This year marks a decade since the global financial crisis erupted. For the United States, 2018 is very different from 2008. The economy has gone from the brink of collapse to the brink of overheating, thanks to a massive tax cut enacted when growth was already robust. The attitude toward China has also changed dramatically. Recognition that cooperation with China was necessary to manage global demand has given way to protectionism and hostility.\nBy Robert Sutter\nThe U.S. government\u2019s across-the-board hardening toward China emerged somewhat erratically over the past year but has shown remarkable momentum in recent months. This report offers a perspective from Washington for the use of those many observers in America and abroad seeking information and early analysis of the importance of the U.S. government shifts toward acute rivalry with China.\nU.S.-China relations experienced remarkable ups and downs following the collapse of the Nixon-Mao understanding allowing the two powers, despite their many profound differences, to cooperate together against the advancing Soviet Union. The end of the Cold War, the Tiananmen crackdown, and the demise of the USSR shattered the previous U.S.-China accord. A stasis of pragmatically managing differences amid mutually beneficial engagements prevailed in the first decade of this millennium, but it gradually ended as China became ever more assertive in challenging the previous Obama government, eliciting limited responses that did not dissuade further Chinese advances at U.S. expense.\nMapping China\u2019s 'Re-Education' Camps: The Power of Open-Source Intelligence\nBy Danielle Cave, Fergus Ryan & Nathan Ruser\nOpen-source intelligence (OSINT) has long been undervalued; elbowed out by sexier-sounding \u2018secret intelligence\u2019, it has also often been overlooked.\nBut what is intelligence?\nFor the answer, let\u2019s go straight to the wisdom of the Middle Kingdom and poor, overused Sun Tzu, who said: \u2018If you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperilled in a hundred battles.\u2019 This tells us what we need intelligence to do for us, but what isn\u2019t well understood is that much of the information we need isn\u2019t \u2018secret\u2019 or \u2018classified\u2019. It is often by combining publicly available and hidden information that we can reveal covert or clandestine intent.\nAs demonstrated by the Bellingcat investigation into the Skripal poisoning and the revelations about Strava\u2019s fitness heatmap (which one of us highlighted earlier this year), in the OSINT world, the devil is in the detail.\nThe Return of Big Infrastructure as a Geopolitical Tool\nBy Jeff Goodson\nInfrastructure is a high priority in developing countries, but its expense presents major problems for countries trying to secure financing. China's focus on building infrastructure in some of the world's most strategic places not only represents a geopolitical threat to the West but also challenges the long-standing Western approach to development. The new U.S. International Development Finance Corp. offers an alternative to countries that are desperate for infrastructure but don't like the risk and sovereignty implications of some of China's financial terms.\nBig infrastructure is back. Long relegated to a secondary development objective by the West, China's gambit to use infrastructure as a vehicle for promoting foreign policy objectives is changing the geopolitical landscape.\nIs a US-China war in Asia inevitable?\nNew York City - Chinese President Xi Jinping's recent talk of \"preparing for war and combat\" is just the latest example of tough language that has stoked fears of a military flare-up with the United Statesover two potential flashpoints: Taiwan and the South China Sea. Last week, Xi told his military commanders in Guangdong province to \"concentrate preparations for fighting a war\", in comments distributed by government-run media following a four-day visit to the south.\nMeanwhile, retired US Lieutenant-General Ben Hodges said it was likely the US would be at war with China within 15 years thanks to a \"tense relationship and increasing competition\" between the world's two greatest economies.\nWith sabre-rattling on both sides, two long-standing issues between Beijing, Washington, and others have come to the fore as potential flashpoints - the disputed South China Sea and Taiwan, which China views as a renegade province.\nDown But Not Out: Extremists\u2019 Evolving Strateg\nThe U.S. State Department Bureau of Counterterrorism recently released its annual report on terrorism. The report concludes that despite the success of efforts to dismantle ISIS, \u201cthe terrorist landscape grew more complex.\u201d Extremist groups such as ISIS, al-Qaida, and their affiliates are proving resilient and adjusting to heightened counterterrorism pressure with new attempts to destabilize, seize, and govern territory in fragile states. This shift in extremist strategy underscores the need for the kind of \u201cpreventive\u201d approach outlined in the interim findings of the Task Force on Extremism in Fragile States.Raqqa\u2019s main cemetery, after Islamic State members desecrated the graveyard, in Syria, June 13, 2018.\nMoscow to Boost Protection of Russians Abroad and Make It Easier for Many to Return\nYesterday (October 31), Russian President Vladimir Putin made two important but potentially contradictory and explosive promises. First, he told the Congress of Russian Compatriots that Moscow will increase its efforts to defend Russians living abroad, something that he hopes will lead to an expansion of the \u201cRussian World\u201d (\u201cRusskiy Mir\u201d) but which will, in all likelihood, generate a sharply negative reaction among the peoples Russian expatriates live among (RIA Novosti, October 31). Second, he promulgated a new immigration strategy document governing the return of compatriots to Russia. This strategy could succeed at attracting more Russian immigration if these communities feel uncomfortable abroad and see Russia as a better option, but not if they become integrated in their adopted countries or do not view their prospects in Russia itself as better. Putin\u2019s strategy could also create internal tensions in Russia if more non-ethnic Russians take advantage of the new rules than ethnic Russians do (Kremlin.ru, Politikus.ru, October 31).\nA Radically Realistic Climate Vision\nBARBARA UNM\u00dcSSI\nLimiting global temperatures to 1.5\u00b0C above pre-industrial levels is the only way to achieve social justice while protecting our environment from devastating climate change. And, contrary to prevailing wisdom, it's not an impossible goal. BERLIN \u2013 According to the latest report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the world\u2019s main scientific authority on global warming, keeping global temperatures from rising more than 1.5\u00b0C above pre-industrial levels is a feasible goal. The IPCC\u2019s stance represents a move in the direction of the kind of \u201cradical realism\u201d that many civil-society actors have long advocated.\nThe IPCC does not bet on geo-engineering proposals \u2013 for example, deep-ocean sequestration of massive amounts of atmospheric carbon dioxide, or \u201cdimming the sun\u201d by spraying the atmosphere with aerosols \u2013 to combat global warming. These largely theoretical solutions could have untold consequences for people and ecosystems, worsening not only the climate crisis, but also the other social and ecological crises we face.\nIsrael Silent As Iran Hit\nThe Times Of Israel (ToI) is reporting late today (Oct. 31, 2018) that the Government of Israel is remaining silent, as a computer virus more lethal and damaging than the Stuxnet virus/malware is hitting Iran\u2019s critical infrastructure and strategic networks. The ToI report adds that the cyber attack began within the past few days, noting that the malware is similar to Stuxnet, but \u201cmore violent, more advanced, and more sophisticated.\u201d\n\u201cThe report comes hours after Israel said its Mossad intelligence agency had thwarted an Iranian assassination plot in Denmark, and two days after Iran acknowledged Iranian President Hassan Rouhani\u2019s mobile phone had been bugged. As the ToI notes, this report \u201cfollows a string of Israeli intelligence coups against Iran, including the extraction from Tehran in January by the Mossad of the contents of a [highly secretive] vast archive documenting Iran\u2019s [clandestine] nuclear weapons program; and, the detailing by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the U.N. in September of other alleged Iranian nuclear and missile assets in Iran, Syria, and Lebanon.\u201d\nMattis Shares Thinking Behind New National Defense Strategy\nJim Garamone - DoD News\nWASHINGTON -- Defense Secretary James N. Mattis shared the thinking behind the new National Defense Strategy during a discussion at the United States Institute of Peace in Washington yesterday. The strategy, released in January, sees Russia and China as the greatest threats with Iran and North Korea as regional threats. Violent extremism rounds out the threat matrix. The strategy is based on a return to great power competition among the United States, Russia and China.\nPower, Urgency, Will\nMattis told Stephen Hadley, the moderator of the event and former national security advisor to President George W. Bush, that in setting up the strategy, officials looked at threats from three different angles: Power, urgency and will.\nTrumping Asia\nBy Abigail Grace\nIn a cavernous Manila exhibition hall, flooded with light, U.S. President Donald Trump stood flanked by members of his national security team to deliver remarks to the press in November 2017. Joking that the White House press corps would need a day to recover from his first Asia trip \u2013 which covered five countries \u2013 the president observed, \u201cIt\u2019s been an incredible 12 days. I\u2019ve made a lot of friends at the highest levels.\u201d\nAfter intense public back-and-forth over Trump\u2019s attendance at the 2017 East Asia Summit in the Philippines, he departed immediately following the leaders\u2019 lunch, but before delivering official remarks. Officials cited a tight schedule, noting that the summit was running behind. Then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was left behind to speak in the president\u2019s stead.\nRussia\u2019s Roadmap to Exiting Ukraine (Op-ed)\nIn its fifth year, Russia's armed aggression in Ukraine's Donbas region has become a costly burden with little strategic benefit. Ukraine, having lost over 10,000 lives, is more united against Russia \u2014 and more connected to Europe. Sanctions have heightened Russia\u2019s isolation and forced it to cut spending, leading to protests over the government\u2019s raising of the retirement age. Meanwhile, Russia\u2019s continued military presence in Donbas blocks all Russian hopes of restoring dialogue with the West on shaping security in Europe.\nWhile we cannot know when or if Russia will reconsider its failed approach, it would be a failure of smart policymaking not to have an exit ramp designed and paved for ready use.\nManaged Confrontation: UK Policy Towards Russia After the Salisbury Attack\nThe nerve-agent attack on Sergey and Yulia Skripal in Salisbury on 4 March 2018 was not just a brazen violation of UK sovereignty. It was also a UK policy failure. Following the murder of Aleksandr Litvinenko in 2006, the UK government failed to deter another life-threatening attack on a British national by organs of the Russian state. Russian decision-makers saw the UK as lacking purpose and resolve because its firm rhetoric was not matched by its actions.\nThe UK\u2019s response to the Salisbury attack has been far stronger. It has taken robust political, diplomatic and law enforcement measures, coordinated with international partners. Yet this is still essentially a sterner version of what it tried following the Litvinenko murder \u2013 broadly \u2018deterrence by denial\u2019 (making it more difficult for Russia to conduct future hostile attacks on UK soil). Other aspects of the UK\u2019s post-Salisbury policy towards Russia seem ill-defined.\nMapping Global Strategic Stability in the Twenty-First Century\nThe U.S.-Russia strategic relationship\u2014the only one to have featured strategic arms control\u2014is no longer central to global strategic stability. While Sino-American relations are not nearly as dominant in terms of the rest of the world as U.S.-Soviet relations were during the Cold War. Thus twentieth-century methods of dealing with the issue of strategic stability, such as arms control, are insufficient. As the world experiences a palpable weakening of the global order\u2014complete with major-power rivalry, regional instabilities, and technological innovation\u2014strategic stability, taken for granted since the end of the Cold War, is again in question.\nYet the renewed discussion of strategic stability is too often focused on relations between the United States and Russia, and leads to calls for updated arms control. Seeking twentieth-century solutions for twenty-first-century problems, however, is hardly productive. This article discusses how the meaning and key features of strategic stability have changed since the bipolar era, the toolbox that exists today for managing strategic stability, and which policies should be adopted by the powers concerned.\nThe British politician Enoch Powell famously observed that \u201call political lives, unless they are cut off in midstream at a happy juncture, end in failure.\u201d German Chancellor Angela Merkel appears to defy this rule. The present is hardly a happy juncture for her, yet her Oct. 29 announcement that she will step down as leader of her party, the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), has been lauded by observers as both dignified and elegant. Whether she can continue as chancellor until 2021, as she has said she would, is de facto not in her hands: Were the Social Democratic Party to leave the ruling coalition before then, prompting elections, she would not run again. Still, she is perceived as supremely in control, just as she has always seemed in control since heading her first government in 2005\u2014with the fateful exception of the fall of 2015, when many citizens felt that the German state was no longer in charge of its own borders, as hundreds of thousands of refugees streamed into the country.\nIf Terrorists Launch a Major Cyberattack, We Won\u2019t See It Coming\n\u201cThe FBI assesses the cyberterrorism threat to the U.S. to be rapidly expanding,\u201d said one law-enforcement official, testifying before Congress. \u201cTerrorist groups will either develop or hire hackers, particularly for the purpose of complementing large physical attacks with cyber attacks.\u201d That assessment was made nearly 15 years ago. In the meantime, a generation of tech-savvy jihadists has exploited the internet to attract recruits, share bomb-making expertise, and incite violence. Yet they haven\u2019t managed to pull off the devastating cyberattacks that experts have long feared.\nWith just days left before Americans go to the polls for midterm elections, it is worth considering: Why not?\n\u201cI\u2019m as puzzled as you are,\u201d said Michael Hayden, who served as CIA director from 2004 to 2008. \u201cThese folks are not cyberdumb.\u201d\nSingapore Sets Up World\u2019s First Commercial Cyber Risk Pool\nSINGAPORE: Singapore is setting up the world\u2019s first commercial cyber risk pool as part of efforts to develop the region\u2019s capacity to deal with threats from cyber attacks, Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat announced at the 15th Singapore International Reinsurance Conference on Monday (29 Oct). \u201cThe pool will commit up to US$1 billion in capacity, and bring together both traditional insurance and insurance-linked securities markets to provide bespoke cyber coverage,\u201d he said.Advertisement \u201cTo date, twenty insurance firms have indicated their interest to participate in this pool, which would allow corporates in ASEAN and Asia to be protected against cyber-related losses,\u201d said Mr Heng.\nCybercrime was estimated to cost the global economy about US$3 trillion in 2015, a figure that is expected to double by 2021. And Asia is vulnerable, said Mr Heng. Hackers are 80 per cent more likely to target organisations in the region, yet 60 per cent of Asian companies do not have proper cyber threat monitoring systems.\nEnergy and the Information Infrastructure: Part 2 \u2013 The Invisible & Voracious 'Information Superhighway'\nBy Mark P. Mills\nA note about this series:\nPart 1 of this series (here) focused on the \u201cCloud\u201d of datacenters\u2014energy-gobbling warehouse-scale computers\u2014that sit largely out of sight at the center of the Internet. In part 2 we explore the invisible \u201cinformation superhighway\u201d that connects the Cloud to everyone and, soon, everything. The ethereal magic of radio photons now forms the most far-reaching network humanity has ever built; and one that uses more electricity than the country of Italy.\nFifty years ago this month Apollo 7marked two firsts: the first manned flight of the Apollo crew module which put the program on track for the moon landing just nine months later; and the first live TV transmission from a manned spacecraft, seen by hundreds of millions of people around the world.\n5G Technology Set To Fuel Technological Change And Transform Global Economy\nFive key themes will shape the world in the next five years, fuelled by an unprecedented increase in the pace of technological changes, in particular the roll-out of 5G mobile technology, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch.\nThe financial services giant says in its report, Transforming World \u2013 The Next 5 Years, that the \u201cthe five most influential themes that should shape our world over the next five years\u201d are big data and artificial intelligence; the rise of electric vehicles; demographics; climate change; and privacy and cyber threats.\nThen and now \u2013 coming out from the shadows\nBy Mike Burgess\nChanges in the global economy are bringing with it a wealth of opportunities for Australia, but we need to be open-eyed on the potential threats to our most important interests, says Mike Burgess, director-general of the ASD.\nI\u2019ve had two careers in the Australian Signals Directorate \u2013 the first starting in 1995, the other in 2018.\nIn 1995, the Defence Signals Directorate, as it was known then, was a highly secretive organisation. My own family didn\u2019t really know what I did. In fact, at that point in time, few people had even heard of the directorate.\nEarly in 1995, I spotted a geeky-sounding telecommunications job advert in a newspaper. Some of you may just remember those days, when online wasn\u2019t yet a thing and jobs were found in the newspaper.\nData Localisation: A Strategic Weapon In Cyber War\nBy Prashant Mali, President \u2013 Cyber Law Consulting (Advocates & Attorneys)\nData is the new oil, and I believe it is the new cyber weapon too. Those whose possess, control and mine the data are the proxy rulers of cyber space. Data being localised in Indian borders gives a better control even for law enforcement agencies to gather electronic evidence without any foreign countries prejudice. Till the ECPA (Electronic Communications and Privacy Act), exists in the US, they are never going to share data with India\u2019s law enforcement agencies. My personal interaction with a US Government attorney in Washington made me aware that they do not even expect ECPA to be amended in favour of data sharing with countries like India.\nWhat Northrop\u2019s $54M Unified Platform Win Means For Cyber War\nUPDATED with contract details WASHINGTON: A deceptively modest award for a blandly named \u201cUnified Platform\u201d actually gives contractor Northrop Grumman the lead role in developing the next generation of weapons for Cyber Command. Other companies may offer specific software and hardware modules, but as \u201cSystems Coordinator,\u201d Northrop now gets to design the virtual chassis all those upgrades must fit on.\nCyberCom Is Targeting Russia\u2019s Election Meddlers \u2014 and Changing How Governments Use Cyber\nBY EVAN PERKOSKI, MICHAEL POZNANSKY\nWe learned last week that U.S. Cyber Command is conducting operations against Russian operatives suspected of interfering in U.S. elections. The goal according to the New York Times is \u201cto deter them from spreading disinformation\u201d and \u201c[tell] them that American operatives have identified them and are tracking their work.\u201d Direct messages were apparently sent to these individuals to erase doubt about who attacked them and why.\nThis episode breaks the mold of what is typically understood as traditional cyberspace behavior. Operations in this domain are rarely coupled with intentional and clear acknowledgement by the perpetrator. Instead, they usually look like Russia\u2019s 2016 election interference where communication is nonexistent and responsibility vehemently denied. Cyber Command\u2019s operation is different and may portend an evolution in how states utilize cyber weapons and what goals they may try to achieve.\nThe Logic of Credit Claiming\nBy Kris Osborn, Warrior Maven\nThe Army is evaluating a series of emerging intelligence analysis technologies intended to integrate and organize a range of input sources to include drone videos, satellite imagery, enemy movement information, terrain data and crucial elements of battle planning. Part of the initiative is aimed at leveraging the most advanced computer processing speeds, data analysis and technologies designed to synthesize information from otherwise disparate nodes. Bringing this to fruition, Army developers explained, requires extensive exploration of cutting-edge commercial technologies which can quickly be applied to military systems.\nOne system being evaluated, Raytheon\u2019s FoxTen, uses commercially-developed software to collect and organize data from sources such as human intelligence (HUMINT), signals intelligence (SIGINT), cybersecurity oriented data, terrain and battlespace data and other fast-changing combat-relevant information.\nIndia and Japan Boost Relations With High-Tech Foc...\nHow did Sri Lanka find itself in a crisis and how ...\nThe New US Hard Line Toward China Is Worrying Sout...\nMapping China\u2019s 'Re-Education' Camps: The Power of...\nThe Return of Big Infrastructure as a Geopolitical...\nMoscow to Boost Protection of Russians Abroad and ...\nMattis Shares Thinking Behind New National Defense...\nManaged Confrontation: UK Policy Towards Russia Af...\nMapping Global Strategic Stability in the Twenty-F...\nSingapore Sets Up World\u2019s First Commercial Cyber R...\nEnergy and the Information Infrastructure: Part 2 ...\n5G Technology Set To Fuel Technological Change And...\nData Localisation: A Strategic Weapon In Cyber War...\nWhat Northrop\u2019s $54M Unified Platform Win Means Fo...\nCyberCom Is Targeting Russia\u2019s Election Meddlers \u2014...\nArmy Evaluates New Intel Technology for the 'Tacti...",

        "raw_content": "Zalmay Khalilzad, US special representative on Afghan reconciliation, on Tuesday, met Taliban representatives in the Qatari capital Doha, the US State Department said.\nHowever, Wednesday's comments mark the first time the US State Department has confirmed his meetings directly.\nLevantistan and The Confederacy of Afghanistan: How Redrawing the Map Can End America\u2019s Wars\nMichael Gladius\nNation-state borders are not sacrosanct. Exchanging land for peace is always a viable option, and this could provide a solution to America\u2019s involvement in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Although multiple solutions are available, we will focus on two: merging nations and fragmenting nations. Merging nations would entail merging Iraq with Syria, and merging Afghanistan with Pakistan. Fragmenting nations would break up the two nations into numerous smaller nations, as happened to Yugoslavia, albeit peacefully.\nMerging Nations: Pros and Cons\nMerging Iraq with Syria, and Afghanistan with Pakistan, would have three main advantages. First, they would allow former state-aligned insurgents to become part of the governing process. Syria is ruled by the Ba\u2019ath Party, and the Ba\u2019ath in Iraq played a crucial role in the formation and success of ISIS. Merging the two states would allow the Ba\u2019ath party in Iraq to merge with the Syrian Ba\u2019ath, and their expertise could be useful in helping Assad manage his new territory. In Afghanistan, the Paki government has been a partner with the Taliban from the start, and a merge would permit the Taliban to become a partner of Pakistan\u2019s government. Pakistan fears India, and the possibility that Afghanistan might align with India, creating a two-front war. Pakistan\u2019s military is the only force holding the country together, and they see Afghanistan as their strategic depth. Understanding this explains much of their conduct since 2001. Merging the two countries would merely make it official.\nUS may offer FTA to Pakistan to assist in ending Afghan war: Report\nISLAMABAD: The US may offer Pakistan a free trade agreement (FTA) in return for its assistance in ending the Afghan war, a media report said on Thursday.\nDawn reported from Washington that official sources said that US Senator Lindsey Graham, who visited Islamabad this week, is believed to have discussed this idea with Pakistani leaders.\nGraham first proposed offering an FTA to Pakistan, after a recent visit to Afghanistan.\n\"If we can go to Pakistan and put a free trade agreement on the table to get the Pakistanis to push the Taliban to the peace table, and you can end the Afghan war,\" he said.\nGraham, a Republican member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, is considered President Trump's closest ally in Congress and the US media say that the president often uses him to float ideas that he wants debated publicly.\nJapan: Finally Beefing Up Its Military \u2013 Analysis\nJapan, increasingly concerned over China\u2019s military buildup and corresponding aggressiveness in the western Pacific, has decided to buy additional F-35 fighter jets and to convert two naval ships into fixed-wing aircraft carriers. These moves are part of a broader effort to beef up Japan\u2019s Self-Defence Forces.\nChina, with its military buildup and corresponding assertiveness in the western Pacific, has become a growing military challenge to its neighbours, one that is expanding in terms of size, capabilities, and quality. Beijing is increasingly hard-line in pushing its regional great-power objectives, largely because its improving military permits such an aggressive approach. It is, quite simply, the foremost military threat to the West and to the political-military status quo in the Asia-Pacific region.\nHow much does Xi matter? New voices on China\u2019s foreign policy\nThe future of U.S.-China relations has not been so uncertain since before the normalization of relations in 1979. There are acute differences over fundamental issues, ranging from governance models to economic practices to human rights to strategic issues.\nThe Trump administration has identified China as a \u201crevisionist power\u201d and \u201crival\u201d seeking to \u201cshape a world antithetical to U.S. values and interests\u201d by \u201cdisplac[ing] the United States \u2026 and reorder[ing] the region in its favor.\u201d Reports of China\u2019s efforts to influence public discourse in the United States have drawn growing scrutiny from journalists, academics, Congress, and the counterintelligence and law enforcement communities. The mass incarceration and repression of ethnic minorities in the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region has soured public attitudes toward China. Beijing\u2019s retrenchment on economic reform, and Xi\u2019s calls for the state to play a larger role in the economy, has alarmed the business community. Aspects of China\u2019s Belt and Road Initiative have led many analysts to conclude that Beijing seeks to establish an illiberal \u201csphere of influence\u201d in Asia. China\u2019s efforts to tighten societal controls through new legal frameworks and emerging technologies, and to make such capabilities available to other countries, may herald a dawning era of \u201cdigital authoritarianism.\u201d These trends have underscored concerns that U.S.-China ideological and \u201csystems\u201d competition may intensify and, in the process, increase friction across the board.\nIn 1955, China initiated its nuclear-weapon program with assistance from the Soviet Union.11 More can be read from China\u2019s official nuclear history: Li Jue, Lei Rongtian, Li Yi, and Li Yingxiang, eds., Dangdai Zhongguo de Hegongye [China Today: Nuclear Industry] (Beijing: China Social Science Press, 1987). Selections were translated and published by the US Foreign Broadcast Information Service, JPRS-CST-88-002, January 15, 1988; and JPRS-CST-88-008, Washington, DC, April 26, 1988.View all notes In 1958, Beijing approved a plan to build \u201cfive plants and three mines\u201d as key facilities to produce fissile materials and nuclear weapons. The five plants included Plant 272, the Hengyang uranium-processing mill in Hunan Province; Plant 202, the Baotou nuclear-fuel-fabrication plant in Inner Mongolia; Plant 504, the Lanzhou gaseous-diffusion plant (GDP) in Gansu Province; Plant 404, the Jiuquan plutonium-production complex in Gansu; and Plant 221, the nuclear-weapon laboratory at Haiyan in Qinghai Province, the predecessor of today\u2019s Chinese Academy of Engineering Physics at Mianyang in Sichuan Province. This article will focus on the development of those plants which perform uranium enrichment, plutonium production, and nuclear-fuel fabrication.\n'UNPRECEDENTED DANGER': Billionaire investor George Soros just went scorched earth on China during his annual Davos speech\nGeorge Soros, the billionaire investor and chairman of Soros Fund Management, delivered his annual speech at the World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland.\nSoros absolutely unloaded on China and President Xi Jinping, warning the audience of the \"unprecedented danger\" the world faces at the hands of the emerging nation.\nSoros also doubled down on comments made during his 2018 address, which saw him criticize \"IT monopolies\" like Facebook and Google. He believes that their behavior is enabling China's quest for a closed society.\nDAVOS, Switzerland - George Soros has made a tradition out of giving a big speech at the World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting.And based on how the last two years have gone, he's not in the business of making friends - especially not in the Chinese government.\nA celebrity blogger in China shines a light on political intrigue\nSuspicions surround a former provincial chief\nIt seems like a story straight out of a legal thriller: powerful figures conniving in the shadows at the highest level of the legal system to tip the scales of justice in a dispute over billions of dollars\u2019 worth of mining riches. Also featured are sabotaged security cameras, missing court documents, the apparent disappearance of a supreme-court judge and the downfall of a provincial Communist Party boss. Twists in the plot are being recorded by China\u2019s state-owned media. But it is a celebrity television-host and blogger, Cui Yongyuan (pictured), whose tweets have been keeping the story moving.\nAre GCC States Seeking Alternatives to Saudi Arabia?\nThere appear to be multiple ways in which both Kuwait and Oman can forge strategic alliances within and beyond the GCC without tying their fates to the house of Saud.\nAn officer in the Kuwaiti Ministry of Defense once shared with me an idiom reflective of life in the Persian Gulf: the camel falls once, and suddenly every man has a knife. The Gulf Cooperation Council was created with the intent of ensuring its members states\u2019 sovereignty, but the recently concluded\u2014andinconclusive \u2014summit in December held to address the ongoing blockade against Qatar invites a reassessment of the United States\u2019 priorities in the region. Saudi Arabia currently holds the spotlight with its fumbling of an extrajudicial murder, ongoing war in Yemen and tribal-familial drama, but recent moves by steadier hands in the region betray a growing notion that the camel may have finally stumbled.\nEnding Endless Wars and the Islamic State\nLast week, U.S. Vice President Mike Pence, in a speech at the Global Chiefs of Mission Conference in Washington, DC, emphatically declared that the Islamic State (or ISIS) caliphate had \u201ccrumbled\u201d and that \u201cISIS is defeated\u201d. This statement garnered much attention in the press due to the awkwardly tone-deaf nature of his pronouncement. Only hours before his speech, ISIS had claimed responsibility for a deadly attack in Manbij, Syria which killed four Americans, making his claim ring hollow. Later that day the Vice President issued a statementdenouncing the attack, removing any mention of the defeat of ISIS to more precisely restate that the caliphate had been \u201ccrushed\u201d and its capabilities \u201cdevastated\u201d.\nWhat is just as telling, but lost in the rush to point out Mr. Pence\u2019s ill-timed declaration of defeat, are the comments made by the Vice President immediately following his boast of victory, which bear examination and scrutiny as well.\nToward Understanding the Actions of the Islamic State and Other Jihadist Groups as Military Doctrine\nAfter over a decade and a half of the \u201cWar on Terror,\u201d the United States and its allies have discovered the difficulty of fighting insurgent terrorist organizations like al-Qaeda and the Taliban. Operating from hard-to-reach areas, such as mountains and deserts, exploiting lack of effective government control, and leveraging support from local populations, these organizations have developed a way of war that defies even U.S. military efforts.[1]\nThe rise of the Islamic State (IS) over the past five years has posed a new jihadist approach to warfare. This new way of war directly translates the organization\u2019s ideology, based on a radical interpretation of Islamic theology, into military strategy and does not differentiate between its political ends and military means. The IS approach poses a formidable new challenge to world security.\nIn this article, I conceptualize IS\u2019s new way of war as \u201cperpetual jihad\u201d as opposed to the traditional \u201cconventional jihad\u201d practiced by other jihadist groups.[2] I discuss the global jihadist movement to illuminate the actors involved in the development of jihadist ways of war. I then expound on conventional jihad before using it as a basis for understanding perpetual jihad. My analysis aims to understand the jihadist movement in general and IS in particular and set the groundwork for the composition of coherent jihadist military doctrines.\nSaudi Arabia: We\u2019ll Pump The World\u2019s Very Last Barrel Of Oil \u2013 Analysis\nSaudi Arabia isn\u2019t buying the peak oil demand narrative.\nOPEC\u2019s largest producer continues to expect global oil demand to keep rising at least by 2040 and sees itself as the oil producer best equipped to continue meeting that demand, thanks to its very low production costs.\nSaudi Arabia will be the one to pump the last barrel of oil in the world, but it doesn\u2019t see the \u2018last barrel of oil\u2019 being pumped for decades and decades to come.\nThe Russian oligarchs and Kremlin apparatchiks spared by WikiLeaks in the past will not be so lucky this week, when transparency activists drop a massive archive of leaked docs.\nRussian oligarchs and Kremlin apparatchiks may find the tables turned on them later this week when a new leak site unleashes a compilation of hundreds of thousands of hacked emails and gigabytes of leaked documents. Think of it as WikiLeaks, but without Julian Assange\u2019s aversion to posting Russian secrets.\nThe site, Distributed Denial of Secrets, was founded last month by transparency activists. Co-founder Emma Best said the Russian leaks, slated for release Friday, will bring into one place dozens of different archives of hacked material that, at best, have been difficult to locate, and in some cases appear to have disappeared entirely from the web.\nCan Governments Wrestle Power Back From Big Tech?\nOn September 10, 2015, a small crowd gathered outside a refugee reception center in Berlin. In front of a pink-brick building, Germany\u2019s chancellor, Angela Merkel, leaned into a huddle of media microphones and began to talk about an historic refugee policy that would welcome nearly one million asylum seekers in that year alone.\nAnas Modamani was not the only refugee to take a selfie with Merkel that day, but his was the only photo to become a target for trolls on social media. The image of Merkel smiling in her pale blue blazer, and Modamani posing in a khaki jacket, was attached to fake news stories that exploded across Facebook. He was branded one of the suicide bombers in the 2016 Brussels bombings, and then labeled a perpetrator in the Berlin Christmas market attack. Social media turned him into a terrorist, but Facebook refused to take down the photo because it did not violate community standards.\nRussian-Japanese Negotiations Over Kurile Islands: Another Summit Without Much Progress\nJapanese Prime Minister Shinz\u014d Abe arrived in Moscow for another summit with President Vladimir Putin, on January 22. Abe and Putin have been meeting regularly during the last year in an attempt to drastically improve relations. Both Moscow and Tokyo continue to express hope a long-awaited peace treaty to formally end World War II may be finally signed, resolving among other problems the territorial issue of the southern Kurile Islands. Russia has controlled these islands as part of its national territory since August 1945 (then as the Soviet Union); but Japan never gave up its claim on them. Most recently, Japanese officials, including Abe, have been expressing optimism that the southern Kuriles territorial issue may soon be resolved, and the peace treaty\u2014signed (see EDM, January 14, 2019).\nVenezuela\u2019s crisis: How did it get so bad?\nVenezuela has endured years of political chaos, and 2019 looks as though it will bring even more unrest.\nOn Wednesday, opposition lawmaker Juan Guaid\u00f3 declared himself the country\u2019s interim president. He was quickly recognized by a number of foreign countries, including the United States, Canada and several South American nations. But President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro is not backing down.\nSo how exactly did Venezuela get to this point?\nIn March 2013, longtime Venezuelan leader Hugo Ch\u00e1vez died of cancer. Maduro, his handpicked successor, took over after a narrow election win the following month. Maduro echoed the rhetoric of his predecessor and \u201cpledged to complete the socialist transformation of this oil-rich nation that began under the man he served loyally for 20 years,\u201d as The Washington Post reported at the time.\nThe world generated $14 trillion in wealth last year. Here\u2019s the story in five charts.\nThanks to hearty growth from countries such as U.S. and China, the world is significantly wealthier in 2018 than it was the year prior.\nThat\u2019s just one of the many noteworthy takeaways from Credit Suisse\u2019s Global Wealth Report, which breaks down the world\u2019s wealth, spots trends, and explains what the changes mean for the global economy. Here\u2019s an executive summary of some of the report\u2019s key findings.\nGlobal wealth continues to rise, led by the United States\nThe Climate Change Solution That Could Spark Global War\nIt could be any country, but let\u2019s say it\u2019s Vietnam.\nThe year is 2069. World governments failed to halve greenhouse gas emissions by 2030\u200a\u2014\u200athe deadline set in a 2018 United Nations report\u200a\u2014\u200asetting off a chain of rapid warming. Megastorms and wildfires regularly kill hundreds and displace tens of thousands, and coastal cities are abandoning low-lying neighborhoods to the rising sea. Freshwater and food are in short supply as drought dries wellsprings and parches the Mekong Delta\u2019s rice basket.\nIn an effort to provide some relief and rein in the chaos, global superpowers decide to block out the sun.\nThe world\u2019s most powerful militaries take the lead, deploying aircraft to soar 32 miles upward into the stratosphere and spray particles that reflect sunlight. The technique mimics one of the planet\u2019s most awesome natural functions: the cooling effect that comes from volcanoes erupting and filling the atmosphere with reflective gas that bounces energy from the sun back into space.\nAt first, technologists issued dystopian alarms about the power of automation and artificial intelligence (AI) to destroy jobs. Then came a correction, with a wave of reassurances. Now, the discourse appears to be arriving at a more complicated understanding, suggesting that automation will bring neither apocalypse nor utopia, but instead both benefits and stress alike. Such is the ambiguous and sometimes disembodied nature of the \u201cfuture of work\u201d discussion.\nHence the analysis presented here. Intended to bring often-inscrutable trends down to earth, the following report develops both backward and forward-looking analyses of the impacts of automation over the years 1980 to 2016 and 2016 to 2030 to assess past and upcoming trends as they affect both people and communities in the United States.\nThe report focuses on areas of potential occupational change rather than net employment losses or gains. Special attention is applied to digging beneath national top-line statistics to explore industry, geographical, and demographic variations. Finally, the report concludes by suggesting a comprehensive response framework for national and state-local policymakers.\nSummary: Pakistan\u2019s nuclear policy is heavily influenced by 1960s NATO flexible response strategy, and has essentially imported its contradictions into Islamabad\u2019s own. This emulation has raised serious questions about Pakistan\u2019s \u201cfull-spectrum deterrence\u201d credibility, deterrence stability and future measures to manage regional security competition.\n\u201cThe more it changes, the more it stays the same\u201d\u2014Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr could well have been writing his famous epigram about Pakistan\u2019s nuclear deterrence policy. For a nuclear program some have called the \u201cfastest growing in the world,\u201d how can this axiom apply? After declaring a strategy in the early 2000s of \u201cminimum credible deterrence,\u201d to deter a perceived existential threat from India, in 2013 Pakistan announced that henceforth it would adopt a \u201cfull spectrum deterrence capability,\u201d 1 backed by a suite of air-, land- and sea-based nuclear delivery vehicles that Islamabad tested over the last decade. These include short-range, \u201ctactical\u201d missiles that are postured to deter \u201climited\u201d Indian conventional military operations, and longer-range missiles that might be used either for countervalue or counterforce targeting. This is a picture of a nuclear arsenal in full bloom, whose growth probes the limits of what can be deterred with the threat of nuclear use.\nSummary: It is not a good idea to mix nuclear and non-nuclear weapon systems. What are the risks, and why are countries still doing it?\nEntanglement describes how militaries\u2019 nuclear and non-nuclear capabilities are becoming dangerously intertwined.\nIn a conventional war, for example, one state could use non-nuclear weapons to attack its adversary\u2019s nuclear weapons or their command-and-control systems. Such strikes could pressure the country being attacked into using its nuclear weapons before they were disabled.\nEverywhere around the world, the nature of war is changing, and the West is failing to adapt. Western powers are already losing on the margins to threats like Russia, China, and others that have made the leap forward and grow bolder each year. Eventually someone will test us and win.\nThe West has forgotten how to win wars because of their own strategic atrophy. Judging by how much money the United States invests in conventional weapons like the F-35, many in our country still believe that future interstate wars will be fought conventionally. But although Russia and China still buy conventional weapons, they use them in unconventional ways. China has armed its fishing fleet in the South China Sea, turning it into a floating militia. Russia gave T-72 tanks, truck-mounted rocket launchers, and howitzers to its mercenaries in Syria. Tellingly, Russia even cut its military budget by a whopping 20 percent in 2017, yet it shows no sign of curbing its global ambitions. Its leaders understand that war has moved beyond lethality.\nROBOTS WILL TAKE JOBS FROM MEN, THE YOUNG, AND MINORITIES\nTHERE\u2019S NO DOUBT technology is shaking up the American workplace. Amazon employs more than 100,000 robots in its US warehouses, alongside more than 125,000 human workers. Sears and Brookstone, icons of brick and mortar retailing, are both bankrupt. But as machines and software get ever smarter, how many more workers will they displace, and which ones?\nEconomists who study employment have pushed backagainst recent predictions by Silicon Valley soothsayers like Elon Musk of an imminent tidal wave of algorithmic unemployment. The evidence indicates US workers will instead be lapped by the gentler swells of a gradual revolution, in which jobs are transformed piecemeal as machines grow more capable. Now a new study predicts that young, Hispanic, and black workers will be most affected by that creeping disruption. Men will suffer more changes to their work than women.\nCybersecurity experts at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting have called for a \u201ccoalition of the willing\u201d to embrace the Paris Call of 12 November 2018 for Trust and Security in Cyberspace (the Paris Call), a multistakeholder declaration that favours the development of common principles for securing cyberspace. The Paris Call, which has been signed by 64 states, more than 300 private-sector companies and over 150 NGOs and other civil society organizations, offers a framework for multilateral action on addressing the critical issue of cybersecurity in a time of increasingly prolific and sophisticated attacks by criminal organizations as well as nation states.\n\u201cIt\u2019s really about keeping the world safe,\u201d said Bradford L. Smith, President and Chief Legal Officer of Microsoft. \u201cThe world depends on digital infrastructure, it depends on our devices, and they\u2019re under attack every single day,\u201d he said.\nLured by the prospect of high-salary, high-status jobs, college students are rushing in record numbers to study computer science.\nNow, if only they could get a seat in class.\nOn campuses across the country, from major state universities to small private colleges, the surge in student demand for computer science courses is far outstripping the supply of professors, as the tech industry snaps up talent. At some schools, the shortage is creating an undergraduate divide of computing haves and have-nots \u2014 potentially narrowing a path for some minority and female students to an industry that has struggled with diversity.\nThe number of undergraduates majoring in the subject more than doubled from 2013 to 2017, to over 106,000, while tenure-track faculty ranks rose about 17 percent, according to the Computing Research Association, a nonprofit that gathers data from about 200 universities.\nThe View From Olympus: Helping the Infantry\nAlthough former Marine General James Mattis proved a disappointment as Secretary of Defense, he began one initiative that deserves to continue. Called the Close Combat Lethality Task Force (CCLTF), this joint Army-Marine Corps program is aimed at improving the effectiveness and survivability of the men who do most of the dying in combat, the infantry. Such an effort is long overdue and deserves substantial funding, as Secretary Mattis intended.\nHowever, as presently conceived the CCLTF has some problems. They begin with a misplaced focus on improving squad lethality. Lethality and effectiveness are not the same thing. In maneuver warfare, including maneuver tactics at the small unit level, most of the enemy end up prisoners, not dead or wounded. Modern, i.e. Third Generation, tactics are not \u201cclose with and destroy\u201d, much less \u201c bombard and attrit\u201d. Rather, as demonstrated by the German infantry in 1918, they are tactics intended to \u201cbypass and collapse\u201d. If you are constantly appearing in your enemy\u2019s rear and encircling him, he tends to give up.\nUS confirms its envoy held talks with Taliban in Q...\nLevantistan and The Confederacy of Afghanistan: Ho...\nUS may offer FTA to Pakistan to assist in ending A...\nEast And South Asia Remain World\u2019s Most Dynamic Re...\nHow much does Xi matter?

        "title": "Yellowstone/Grand Teton Review, Day 11 \u2013 Leaving Town and Sitting on Planes",
        "raw_content": "You are here: Home \u00bb Travel \u00bb Yellowstone/Grand Teton Review, Day 11 \u2013 Leaving Town and Sitting on Planes\nThe only direct flight from Jackson Hole Airport to Atlanta was at 8:00 a.m. Normally this would not be difficult at a small airport in a small town. However, the staff at Dollar Rent A Car said we needed to be at the car rental office before 5:30 am at the very latest to return our car and be on their shuttle to the airport at 5:45 am. They claimed that since it was a small airport, the TSA security lines were very long. This turned out not to be true, at least not at the time we arrived nor based on what we could observe later.\nWe got to the rental office a little after 5:00 am, as did a couple of other families, and we were all on the shuttle before 5:30 am. We had been told that the shuttle would be at 5:45 am, but we were already close to the airport by that time. We wound up at the airport around 5:45 am, checked our bags, went through the security lines, and were ordering breakfast at the airport restaurant by 6:00 am.\nWe were happy with both the vehicle and the service at Dollar Rent A Car, and would recommend them based on our experience. Their office was less than ten minutes drive from our hotel room at Snow King Resort, so the drive to return the car couldn\u2019t have been easier. However, if we book an early morning flight on our next trip to Jackson, we will probably go with one of the car rental services that has an office at the airport. It would have been nice to sleep later and control what time we returned our car, especially since we were traveling with two young children. While the lines may have gotten longer later in the morning, I did not see enough people at the airport to believe it was necessary to get there that early. We spent a lot of time waiting at the airport with two bored sleepy children who could have slept later if we didn\u2019t have to be on an airport shuttle so early.\nWhen checking in our bags, we were asked whether we had any bear spray. When I told them we did, we were told that it was prohibited on the airplane. I pointed out that we brought bear spray with us in our checked luggage on our flight from Atlanta and no one had any problem with it. However, she claimed that employees at other airports are not familiar with bear spray like they are at the Jackson Hole airport, and that the bear spray could explode in the luggage. I was skeptical of her claim that employees at the Hartzfeld-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta would not know that they shouldn\u2019t allow bear spray in the checked luggage if it was such a risk, and I\u2019ve never heard of an incident of bear spray exploding during a flight. However, I was too tired for an argument that I would lose, so we handed over the bear spray and went on our way.\nSince we were up so early and had so much time to wait, we went to Jedediah\u2019s at the Airport for breakfast. I had read many online reviews saying that their food was really good, especially for airport food. While I agree that the food was better than most airport food, I didn\u2019t find it to be as great as many other reviewers did. That is not to say that the food was bad, but merely that it wasn\u2019t anything special.\nThe return flight was on Delta 907, departing Jackson Hole at 8:00 am. The plane was small, and there were repeated announcements that they were looking for passengers willing to travel on a later flight. This seemed odd when we got on board since there were a number of empty seats. I\u2019m going to guess it was more of an issue of weight than it was of the number of seats, but I really don\u2019t know. While we were waiting to depart, the flight attendent announced they were reopening the door to load four more passengers on the plane. I don\u2019t know whether they were late arrivals or if they were just added back onto the flight after getting bumped off, but after the delays our flight encountered they may have wished they took a different flight.\nAlthough our Delta flight to Jackson Hole had included a never-ending sales pitch for various sandwiches, snacks, and drinks for an extra exhorbitant fee, our return flight did not include any efforts to sell an upgrade other than letting us know alcoholic drinks were available for purchase.\nBefore we took off, the pilot announced that air traffic control was trying to reroute our flight through the gulf coast due to weather issues. However, it was a small plane and did not carry enough fuel to be redirected that far out of the way without making a stop in Little Rock to refuel. He said the issue was resolved so that we could have a direct flight back to Atlanta, though our takeoff was delayed for over a half hour while they tried to work out the flight plan. Unfortunately, this turned out to be just the beginning of our return flight problems.\nAlthough things seemed to be going fine on the flight until we were nearing our destination, including periodic announcements by the pilot of how soon we would arrive, apparently two problems happened while we were in flight. According to the pilot, the weather in our path had gotten much worse and a runway in Atlanta collapsed due to some kind of sinkhole. As a result, we were being rerouted to Nashville to await further instructions. It was at this point that I wished I had purchased Internet access with my flight ticket.\nAs our flight was heading towards Nashville for landing, I debated whether it would be better to sit in Nashville waiting for a flight to Atlanta or to demand a rental car and just drive home on our own. While that would be a long drive, especially in bad weather, I suspected it would be no longer than sitting around an airport in Nashville waiting to be cleared to fly to Atlanta. Bad weather plus a sinkhole at the ATL did not make me particularly eager to fly back to the city. However, we really needed to get back to Atlanta in order to keep from disrupting the week any further, as all of our plans for the week were predicated upon returning to Atlanta on time.\nOur approach and landing in Nashville was fine until it suddenly became very bumpy. It was rough enough that my son asked me whether we were crashing. If this landing was anything like what we could expect in Atlanta, the idea of renting a car and driving the rest of the way was starting to sound even more enticing. While I am not afraid of flying in general, I do not like being on small planes in bad weather and things were not looking good for the rest of this flight. After a rough descent and a hard landing, we were finally on the ground in Nashville.\nAs we rolled down the runway, the flight attendant announced that we should remain seated while they figured out what they were doing and whether we were getting off the plane. Once the plane stopped, I went online and tried to find information about the situation in Atlanta. However, whatever was going on was apparently not significant enough to have been reported by any news sites. I went on Facebook to see if any friends had any information, and a friend shared one of his friend\u2019s posts that his flight to Atlanta had also been rerouted to Nashville. No one seemed to know anything beyond this.\nEnentually the pilot announced that we would be flying home without getting off the plane. The pilot did not seem to know when we would get there, but the Delta app said we were going to be getting there a little after 4:00 pm.\nAfter sitting around for a while and being treated to a complimentary cup of lukewarm water, we were told that we had been cleared to fly to Atlanta \u201csoon.\u201d We were told that even though no one had gotten on or off the plane, they were required to show us the safety video again because the door had been opened briefly. I ignored the video as attentively as I ignored it the first time.\nOur eventual landing in Atlanta was reasonably smooth and uneventful, a much softer landing than the one we had in Nashville. We were on the ground at 4:24, which meant that by the time we reached our car at the Park \u2018N Fly we were going to wind up getting into Atlanta traffic during the worst traffic time of the day. However, it was better to arrive late than to get stuck in Nashville or some other place for the night.",

        "raw_content": "Update on horses in Norfolk County \u2013 December 3, 2018\nThe Ontario SPCA would like to thank anyone who has expressed their support for the horses involved in the investigation in Norfolk County.\nWe want to reassure the public that we are actively working with the Norfolk OPP on this situation and have been for some time now. We understand that members of the public are concerned and upset by this situation.\nThere has been a great deal of speculation on what has happened and what is happening for these horses. What is posted on social media does not share the whole story and we\u2019d like to provide both clarification on the scope of our authority and our involvement in the last year.\nThe Ontario SPCA has attended the property and followed up several times as each concern was brought forward over the last year. When we follow up, by law, we make sure that the animals are receiving food and water, have appropriate shelter and, if there are any health concerns, that those concerns are being addressed. We do not close an investigation until we know that the standards of care are being met.\nIn November 2018, our Officer attended the farm after concerns were brought forward regarding the standards of care not being met for the animals on the property. Our Officer noted one horse in particular that was ill as a result of a pre-existing medical condition and was under the care of a veterinarian. To be clear; the condition of the horse was the result of an illness. The horse was under veterinary care. When a veterinarian is involved, we do not have the authority to intervene and must defer to the veterinary medicine\u200e professionals. With the winter months approaching, a discussion took place with the owners regarding the most humane option for the ill horse, and on Dec 1, 2018 the owner had the horse humanely euthanized by a veterinarian.\nWhen our Officer attended the property in November, it was noted that another one of the horses was in poor body condition. Although this animal remains under the care of a veterinarian, \u200ewe are working with the owner to specifically address body condition and are continuing to ensure the standards of care are met.\nUnder the law, the Ontario SPCA can only remove an animal if it is:\nIn immediate distress, as defined by provincial animal welfare legislation;\nOrdered under a certificate of a veterinarian or\nIf the owner has not complied with Orders, issued under provincial animal welfare legislation.\nIn this situation, neither the Ontario SPCA nor the Norfolk OPP have the authority to remove these animals. We will continue to monitor the condition of the animals, working with the owners and their veterinarian to ensure their health and well-being.\nAgain, the Society would like to thank the public for their concern for animals. As we move forward we will continue to provide updates regarding this case.",

        "raw_content": "In the 2007 federal election both major parties committed to introducing an Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS). By 2009 both parties agreed on an emissions reduction target of five per cent on 2000 levels by 2020. But since Tony Abbott became leader of the Liberal Party the bipartisan position for a reliance on a market based mechanism to reduce Australia's carbon emissions has broken down.\nWhile the Coalition remains committed to the same target as the Government it now proposes to meet that target with a competitive grant scheme which it calls the Direct Action Plan and in turn oppose all forms of market based carbon pricing including the Labor Party's proposed carbon tax that converts into an ETS after three years.\nThe Coalition is doing more than campaigning against a carbon price. It is the job of an Opposition to be critical of Government policies they disagree with but the Coalition has decided to go much further than critique in committing to 'roll back' the carbon price should they form government . This commitment creates uncertainty in the business community since even if the carbon price passes Parliament it does not resolve the issue and may be subject to a roll back at a later date. Furthermore, the Coalition has also committed to a double dissolution election if it wins government but cannot pass its legislation to roll back the carbon price. This will create even more uncertainty.\nPB 30 The direct costs of waiting for direct action_4.pdf",

If you plan to drive to campus daily, you can expect a 16-minute drive in light traffic. That commute length increases by about eight minutes during rush hour. The best route to take is Loop 202 east, exiting at Scottsdale/Rural roads. The campus is just a block-and-a-half beyond the Salt River overcrossing.\nWhile you\u2019re close enough to bicycle to work in about 48, most routes are hilly. The flattest cycling route is south along North 24th Street to Grand Canal Trail and East Washington. From there, the route turns south on North Mill Avenue, leading you to the west side of ASU. The route\u2019s elevation rises 82 feet and declines 52 feet.\nIf you\u2019re looking for a viable alternative to driving, the best choice is public transportation. There are several routes available, but taking Bus Route 70 and light rail makes your commute just 41 minutes. You can reach Bus Route 70 by walking three minutes to the bus stop at 24th and Flower streets. Take Bus 70 to the light rail station at 24th and Jefferson, and ride the train 20 minutes to the stop at University Drive and Rural Road. There, you\u2019re close to the central area of campus. If you need to go to the north end of ASU, stay on the train another to disembark at Tempe Transportation Center at Veteran\u2019s Way and College Avenue. There, you\u2019re close to Sun Devil Stadium and Plummer Aquatic Complex.\nAt Bloom 24, you\u2019ll enjoy a variety of stores and services along 24th Street. Chase Bank is four blocks south on 24th, and New China Buffet, CVS, ABC One Hour Cleaners, Green Burrito and Barb\u2019s Bakery are five blocks south.

        "raw_content": "BURLINGTON - Joey Brandall built his snowman only two weeks prior to finding his icy companion laying in a heap of slush on his front yard. \u201cThe best snowman I\u2019ve ever known passed before his time; he didn\u2019t even make it halfway through winter,\u201d lamented Brindle while picking up the snowman\u2019s top hat and pipe.\nChilly Crystal, the name of the deceased snowman, had been Brandall\u2019s closest confidante since the beginning of the winter season, until one warmer-than-usual Tuesday afternoon he discovered Chilly\u2019s upper-torso lying on the ground next to his bottom half. Holding in tears, a mourning Brandall recalls his final moments with Chilly. \u201cI kept repacking and repacking snow, trying to get him to hold himself together until it got a little colder outside again, but we both knew it was too late\u2026he smiled that raisin smile until the very end, he was so god damn strong\u2026\u201d\nBrandall\u2019s next-door neighbor, Susan Kaufman, was witness to their close friendship from the beginning. \u201cChilly started out as a snowball the size of my hand, and I watched him roll up into such a kind, caring snowperson. He was so friendly with everyone in the neighborhood, I have a hard time believing he\u2019s really gone this early in the season, it\u2019s a such a tragedy,\u201d recollected Kaufman as she watched Joey gently scoop Chilly\u2019s remnants into a large plastic container. Brandall plans to preserve his snowy friend\u2019s remains for a time in the future when his cheerful presence and spirited demeanor may be enjoyed once more. \u201cWe\u2019re going to cryogenically freeze Chilly Crystal and save him from his own mortality,\u201d choked a grieving Brandall. \u201cWhen we have the technology, we can bring him back to provide classic holiday merriment all year round. He had always wanted to see a beautiful summer day, and I\u2019ll be damned if I let him die before he experiences one.\u201d Brandall appeared aware of the risks that may be incurred after Chilly Crystal\u2019s eventual revival and the effects of spending years within a cold cryogenic state of solitude. \u201cWhen he comes back I might be a completely different person, or even dead for all I know,\u201d remarked Brandall. \u201cHe\u2019ll have missed out on so much time that readjusting his life in an unfamiliar world of the future might be too overwhelming for Chilly to handle. But he\u2019ll be back with another chance to live like he deserves to, and that\u2019s all matters. I know he\u2019d have done the same for me.\u201d\nAs of press time, Brandall has relocated the snowman\u2019s remnants to the shelf above the pepperoni DiGiorno in his freezer.",

The wrinkles beneath his eyes peek at me as he smiles and raises his eyebrows at me. I shake my head and look away.\nThe sounds of laughter of our other friends reach my ears, but I can\u2019t make anything out. The dim lights don\u2019t do any good to kerb the overpowering emotions that I\u2019m feeling at the moment.\nI look at him again, and I feel like my heart will burst because of all the things that I want to say to him, all the things that I\u2019ve been feeling since I met him two years ago, and those feelings have only gotten stronger since then.\nIn the fear that I might blurt out all the love that I\u2019m feeling right now, and regret it for years to come, I get up hurriedly and rush to the restroom to have some moments to myself.\nI look into the mirror and see the face of a helpless girl staring back at me. I hate being powerless, and maybe that is why I never wanted to fall in love. I hate my situation right now because I know I am hopelessly in love with him and also know that he\u2019ll never love me back.\nI know that he is still too much in love with her, and even if someday he moves on, I\u2019ll never be the one for him.\nI rest my body on the wall because I fear that I\u2019ll fall on my face and slide down, tears running down both my cheeks. I prop my face on my hands and cry with all that has been built up inside of me \u2013 all the love for him, the realization that he\u2019ll never love me, and because I\u2019ll never be able to tell him just how much I fear my confession of love will make me lose my best friend.\nI hear a knock on the door. I quickly wash my face and reapply kohl and lipstick. I come out of the restroom to find my friend waiting for me, saying that she and all the others are worried about what\u2019s been taking me so much time.\nI plaster a wide smile on my face, saying, \u201cAn upset stomach, that\u2019s all.\u201d We both laugh, and go back to our table.\nMy best friend drops me home after our little party is over, and just as I turn to leave the car, he holds my hand and says, \u201cYou were crying then, weren\u2019t you?\u201d\nA smile works its way on my face as I realise that I can fool the entire world, but not him.\nI look into his eyes and say, \u201cI am so glad I\u2019ve got you\u201d, and fling my arms around his neck.\nHe holds me close and quietly says, \u201cAnd you always will have me. That\u2019s what best friends are for.\u201d\nI bury all the love for him in my heart and find solace in his arms, even if it is only for some moments.\nIf not a lover, I\u2019ll keep him as a friend \u2013 I\u2019ll keep him anyway I get to.",

This book, which was translated by Albert Nalbandyan and includes a preface by famous Russian poet, translator and literary critic Mikhail Sinelnikov serves as the best opportunity to present the wonderful poems of the poet to Russian readers.\u201d\nThe deputy minister added that in her works the poet reveals the inner world of a woman, the enigmatic, exquisite and very mysterious essence where the image of a real Armenian woman and the \u201csymphony of existence\u201d of an Armenian woman unquestionably come first.\nDoctor of Philological sciences and Professor David Gasparyan gave a speech in which he presented the poet\u2019s career and mentioned the following:\n\u201cTamara Hovhannisyan has been gradually establishing her presence among Armenian intellectuals over the past couple of years.\nHer poems deserve high appraisal. By presenting such an exquisite world of arts, Tamara Hovhannisyan has established her own system of values in poetry. Her works are self-revelations in the form of mono dramas where there is tranquility and the peace of a modern and civilized woman.\u201d\nComposer Robert Amirkhanyan also expressed his opinion on and shared his impressions of the book. Sergush Babayan recited a poem during the event.\nExpressing gratitude to the RA Ministry of Diaspora and to the minister personally for the ongoing support and for providing her with the opportunity to present herself to Armenian readers, Tamara Hovhannisyan mentioned the following: \u201cThis book is another tiding to Armenian cultural life. In this book, I tried to build bridges of love and intimacy with all my soul and with dedication for my demanding readers, including my compatriots who prefer to read my poems in Russian.\u201d\nIn 2015, Tamara Hovhannisyan was awarded with the \u201cAmbassador of the Mother Language\u201d Medal of the RA Ministry of Diaspora.\u201d*\nTags: Art News",

Harding and Jeremy Bose.\nTwo of my best buddies are Blair Daily and J.T. Harding. We went up to my cottage in Michigan to write songs. We kept writing similar types of songs, and we wanted to do something different. I was like, \"Man, we need a piano player in here!\" Blair was like, \"I've got this piano track from Jeremy Bose.\" I've never met the guy personally, but thought it was the sweetest thing I'd ever heard before. It was just awesome! It was a great piano track. The three of us decided to write something positive to go along with the piano track, because it was so different and refreshing.\nWe started talking about how music used to be so different. Everybody patted each other on the back and told the other person they were doing a good job. We wanted to write this positive song that basically tells somebody you know how much they are appreciated in your life -- that they make you smile.\nNothing about this song was forced. It came so natural for us to write. The song was probably done in an hour and 40 minutes.\nDownload 'Smile' | Buy Uncle Kracker Albums\nFiled Under: Blair Daly, BlairDaly, J.T.

        "raw_content": "To celebrate the \u2018turning 40ness\u2019 of Succettes songstress Nicky Bernard, we were invited to play the headline set at The Craufurd to finish off an evening packed with bands and DJs. It was one of those \u2018we\u2019re running late, so any idea of timings is out of the window\u2019 and we were on last, so the odds of getting a full set done were pretty slim. In the end, we took a spur of the moment decision to make up the set as we went along, and ended up playing a set entirely of covered, which we\u2019ve previously never done under The Box Ticked. Technically it wasn\u2019t a Box Ticked gig for that reason, but as it wasn\u2019t a conscious decision, and only happened on the stage while we were playing, it still counts. Probably. Anyway, what it was was a really good run-through of a mix of songs we play a lot, songs we\u2019d played at rehearsals but that had never found their way out into the real world before, and songs that we\u2019d never even rehearsed.\nThe latter is always fun, and something that requires a significant amount of confidence or a really drunk audience, and on this occasion, I think we actually had both, which really helped. There\u2019s no setlist in existence, as we didn\u2019t write one, and I\u2019m not sure any of us are completely sure what songs we played. I can definitely remember Down in the tube station at midnight, and I seem to remember a medley of Girlfriend in a coma and Only You, though that may have been wishful thinking. Anyway, it was really interesting to play to a different set of people, and a good time was had by all.\nGig ReviewsTagged the box ticked, the craufurd, the successes\nOne thought on \u201cThe Craufurd Arms \u2013 Wolverton \u2013 January 2014\u201d\nNew rose by the Damned and You\u2019re gorgeous by Babybird",

        "title": "Does Mark Zuckerberg have too much power at the helm of Facebook?",
        "raw_content": "Does Mark Zuckerberg have too much power at the helm of Facebook?\nStefan Petry, University of Manchester\nStefan Petry\nLecturer in Finance, University of Manchester\nStefan Petry does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit from this article, and has disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond their academic appointment.\nThe Facebook CEO has promised to \u2018do better\u2019. Bakhur Nick / Shutterstock.com\nThe scandal around Facebook\u2019s privacy practices and the way that it protects its users data \u2013 now under official investigation for possibly violating US federal securities laws \u2013 brings into question the way that the company is run. In particular, the fact that its founder, Mark Zuckerberg, owns approximately 16% of Facebook but commands 60% of its voting power via a special type of shares.\nFacebook is not alone in this respect. There appears to be a trend among newly-listed, mostly high-growth, firms to have these corporate governance structures that provide shareholders with weak rights when it comes to running the company. The dual class share structure, as in Facebook\u2019s case, is only one of several measures to ensure that the founding member team remains in power.\nAs well as Facebook, companies that have established these sorts of governance mechanisms include Berkshire Hathaway, Expedia, FitBit, Ford, Google (Alphabet), GoPro, Hyatt Hotels, Snap, and Under Armour. The main defence of this governance measure, used by the founders or family heirs of these firms, is that it allows the companies to take a long-term view and make investment decisions that may not necessarily yield results in the short run.\nBut the recent Facebook scandal also highlights that these corporate governance mechanisms appear to make firms immune to calls for change, particularly if the leadership of the firm is affected.\nGood vs bad governance\nShareholders are the main providers of capital for publicly listed companies. In return, they receive a variety of rights, such as voting at the annual general meeting and electing the directors who sit on the board.\nAcademic findings suggest that firms in which shareholders have many opportunities to raise their voice tend to perform better than firms with weak shareholder rights. Hence, firms with strong shareholder rights are often considered \u201cgood\u201d corporate governance firms. Firms with weak shareholder rights are typically referred to as \u201cbad\u201d corporate governance firms.\nFacebook might benefit from giving shareholders more say. focal point / Shutterstock.com\nThis is, however, a very simplified way of describing things. There is no blueprint for good corporate governance as every firm is likely to have different needs, and these also change over the life cycle of the firm.\nYet, there is little a controversy about the fact that when there is little opportunity for existing shareholders or outside activist investors to influence things, managers and directors can become entrenched and make decisions that could harm the business \u2013 and therefore shareholders. And companies where the board of directors can make decisions without fear of being replaced have been labelled \u201cdictatorship firms\u201d.\nPros and cons of dictatorship\nAs it turns out, under certain conditions, dictatorship firms may actually perform well. Recent research suggests that in order to foster innovation, reward for long-term success and job security are important. The way that dictatorship firms are set up facilitates this.\nData also suggests that dictatorship firms can increase company value by allowing it to take a long-term view. Hence, shareholders provide capital to dictatorship firms by trusting the skills and vision of the founder and leadership team to identify, invest in, and manage projects that guarantee continual high future growth.\nBut dictatorship-style corporate governance can become problematic in three scenarios. First, when growth and innovation slow down. This contradicts one of the main arguments in favour of dictatorship firms \u2013 that their long-term focus fosters innovation and that this is associated with high growth. But when growth does slow down, the firm will have fewer investment opportunities.\nPlus, lower spending tends to mean higher future cash holdings and academic evidence suggests that as companies accumulate more cash, they tend to make worse investment decisions. Hence, in those firms, it becomes more important to monitor how capital is spent and to consider paying out more to shareholders.\nA second problematic situation for dictatorship firms is how to handle succession \u2013 something Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla and SpaceX, has spoken of. As Musk puts it: the dual class structure can be taken to an extreme \u201cwhere one class basically doesn\u2019t count\u201d. That\u2019s the public shareholders. And, although possible, it is rare that the children of the founders are the right people to continue running the firm (which is a common line of succession in a dictatorship firm). Hence, there needs to be a path towards a single share class so that control is not passed on via dictatorship.\nThe third problematic scenario for dictatorship firms is when a dramatic change in the course of action of the company is required \u2013 particularly in response to scandals. Since 2010, Facebook has had ten sets of legal issues (excluding the Cambridge Analytica scandal). In a company with strong shareholder rights, it is likely that a change in the executive leadership team would have happened by now.\nNot all hope for better corporate governance is lost, however. The ride-hailing app company Uber provides an example of how change can still happen, despite having an entrenched leadership team. After several scandals emerged at the end of 2017, its board made former Uber CEO Travis Kalanick step down and revoked his super-voting rights, creating equal voting power among shareholders. Facebook is yet to make similar moves but it would create a more democratic governance structure if it did so.\nCambridge Analytica scandal: Facebook\u2019s user engagement and trust decline\nNot creepy at all. antb / Shutterstock.com\n#DeleteFacebook is still feeding the beast \u2013 but there are ways to overcome surveillance capitalism\nCambridge Analytica: the data analytics industry is already in full swing",

Between the years 1958 and 1962 (the official record is three years), Dik\u00f6tter estimates that there were at least 45 million premature deaths in China. Based on four years of rare research, Mao\u2019s Great Famine uncovers the untold human suffering during China\u2019s darkest days. This could possibly be the worst period in human history, even surpassing Hitler\u2019s holocaust and Stalin\u2019s Gulag camps.\nThere were three prominent leaders in modern Chinese history: Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, and Deng Xiaoping. Of these three legendary icons, Mao Zedong was one of the most historic figures of the twentieth century. He remains a very controversial individual, with a persona ranging from cult leader to mass murderer. Mao is held in high regard in the People\u2019s Republic of China.\nMao\u2019s presence is still felt in China. His picture still hangs on the Tiananmen Gate, marking the sentiment 120 years after his birth. Thousands still line up to visit the mausoleum where his embalmed body is displayed. Mao\u2019s face can be seen on the yuan.\nMao must have left an indelible mark in the Sinic world, with a track record of human rights abuses that were atrocious. The Great Leap Forward was an economic program initiated by the Communist Party of China (CPC) as an attempt to catch up with the industrialized Western civilization. This turned out to be one of the hidden horrors of the 20th century.\nDik\u00f6tter said that the reason so little has been written about the subject is because the \u201cregime that perpetrated these crimes of humanity is very much in power today.\u201d And there\u2019s another reason for it. \u201cThere\u2019s very little documentation available. Unlike the collapse of Nazi Germany, unlike the collapse of the Soviet Union, China\u2019s still very much in power today.\u201d\nThe author claims to have searched through hundreds of various documents and letters.\nDik\u00f6tter emphasizes the sheer volume of people that died as the human calamity unfolded. The severity of violence was far worse than any casual observer could imagine, according to the writer. Some victims (including children) were buried alive during this reign of terror.\nStarvation was common and the brutalization was extraordinary. People were reduced to mere digits in the name of collectivization, and for those that became disabled and couldn\u2019t physically produce in the workforce, they were banned from food sources and often died.\nUsually is the case where stories of survival offer mankind glimpses of hope and contradiction, while the survivor must make extremely difficult choices just to stay alive. Such choices may be perceived as immoral but necessary.\nImagine what\u2019s left in the undiscovered documents, because only a certain time frame was allowed for the author\u2019s research, specifically the one or two years before the Beijing Olympics. The central archives are still under lock and key and one day could possibly reveal even more staggering details.\nChinaChinese LeadersGreat Chinese FamineMao ZedongRed Army",

The island is just 40km/25miles away from Dar-Es-Salaam. Apart from magnificent coastline and reefs, it has the historical UNESCO listed Stone Town and various nature parks, so this is more than just a beach-destination!\nZanzibar\u2019s coral reef structure ensures abundant marine life. The reefs are shallow, also ideal for less experienced divers and snorkelers. The sloping banks and vertical drop-offs are great for more experienced divers. Zanzibar hosts over 350 marine life species and include large gamefish like Barracuda, Kingfish, Tuna and Wahoo, Napoleon Wrasse, Manta Rays and Sharks.\nThe archipelago of Zanzibar consists of two islands: Unguja, better known as Zanzibar, and Pemba Island. These islands are about 50 km (32mi) off the Tanzanian coast, close to the equator. Zanzibar is mainly focused on tourism, but has been prosperous in the past due to its spices, such as Cloves, Cinnamon, Ginger, Lemongrass, Nutmeg, Pepper and Vanilla. Today, Unguja \u2026\nZanzibar is a flat, palm-tree dotted island surrounded by a coral reef structure that ensures abundant marine life. The reefs are shallow with sloping banks and vertical drop-offs with hard and soft corals hosting more than 350 species of Indo-Pacific marine life. Large gamefish like Barracuda, Kingfish, Tuna and Wahoo hunt together with large Napoleon Wrasse, Manta Rays and Sharks. \u2026\nThe best season for a vacation is from mid-June until the end of November, as well as from mid-December until mid-March.

In accordance with the Geothermal Steam Act of 1970, as amended (30 U.S.C. 1001et seq.), the BLM Bishop Field Office is the lead Federal agency responsible for permitting the proposed project and for completing the required environmental analysis under NEPA. The USFS Inyo National Forest is a cooperating Federal agency. The GBUAPCD is the lead State agency responsible for permitting the proposed project and for completing the required environmental analysis under the CEQA.\nThe purpose and need for action is to respond to an application to construct and operate the proposed Casa Diablo IV Geothermal Development Project on Federal geothermal leases administered by the BLM Bishop Field Office. The proposed project would be located on Inyo National Forest lands and adjacent private lands within portions of Federal geothermal leases CACA-11667, CACA-14407, CACA-14408, and CACA-11672. The leases proposed for development are part of an existing geothermal unit, which is currently providing energy sufficient to power three operating geothermal plants.\nThe applicant's proposed action includes the construction of a new 33-MW binary geothermal power plant, which would be the fourth geothermal plant in the vicinity; up to 16 wells for production and reinjection, drilled to an approximate 1,600- to 2,500-ft depth; and associated pipelines. A 650-ft long transmission line is proposed to interconnect the new power plant to the existing Southern California Edison (SCE) substation at Substation Road. The proposed Casa Diablo IV plant, access roads, well pads, pipelines and transmission line would occupy approximately 80 acres. Of the 16 proposed production/injection well locations, 14 were previously analyzed and approved by the BLM as exploration wells in EA-170-02-15 (2001) and EA-170-05-04 (2005). Three of these exploration wells have already been drilled as of the time of the publication of this notice. The proposed well field contains two existing production wells and associated pipelines that currently serve the three existing power plants in the area.The BLM published a Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare a joint EIS/EIR on March 25, 2011, in theFederal Register(76 FR 16806). Publication of the NOI initiated a public scoping period, which included two public scoping meetings. Comments received through the scoping process and consultations carried out pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and other Federal mandates identified the following issues and concerns that have been incorporated into the Draft EIS/EIR: Potential effects on air quality, biological resources including vegetation and wildlife, cultural resources and Native American concerns, public health and safety, recreation resources, and surface and groundwater resources.\nAlternatives identified and evaluated in the Draft EIS/EIR include: Alternative 1, the applicant's proposed action which is outlined above; Alternative 2, which considers an alternative location for the proposed power plant; Alternative 3, which considers alternative pipeline alignments in Basalt Canyon and slightly alters the location of one proposed well; and Alternative 4, the no action alternative which would limit geothermal development activities on the affected leases to those previously authorized by the BLM. In accordance with NEPA (40 CFR 1502.14(e)), the BLM and USFS have identified Alternative 3 as the preferred alternative. The GBUAPCD has also identified Alternative 3 as the \u201cenvironmentally superior alternative\u201d pursuant to the CEQA (14 C.C.R. 15126.6(e)(2)).\nPublic comments and information submitted, including names, street addresses, and email addresses of persons who submit comments, will be available for public review at the above address during regular business hours (8 a.m. to 4 p.m.), Monday through Friday, except holidays.\nBernadette Lovato, Bishop Field Manager.",

With limited inventory in a premium area, this series follows two top rival real estate teams, The McMonigle Team and Relegance Group, as they fight for supremacy in this distinct and wealthy enclave. It's the ultimate turf battle in the O.C., and things get tense when realty and reality collide. John McMonigle was formerly the number one real estate agent in the country, but lost everything when the real estate market crashed, ultimately forcing him into bankruptcy. John, never a man to stay down, rebuilt his empire with five ambitious agents to create The McMonigle Team, with one of their primary goals being to beat The Relegance Group. Relegance is made up of five zealous agents, including the \"real estate queen\" of Orange County, Jojo Romeo, who happens to have a contentious past with John. As an estranged employee of John's, she became determined to join Relegance and help them become the #1 team in the O.C. However, it's a small world, and when they vie for the same high end clients, limited listings and large commissions, the competition can be ruthless. With 10 agents, eccentric clients, multi-million-dollar deals, old vendettas, and one common goal of winning, all is fair in real estate and war.\n\u00b7 Elise Duran as EP\n\u00b7 Fenton Bailey as EP\n\u00b7 Randy Barbato as EP\n\u00b7 Tom Campbell as EP\n\u00b7 World of Wonder Productions",

        "raw_content": "Is It Time to Get Your Hearing Checked?\nIf the last time you had your hearing checked it was done by the school nurse, it\u2019s time to get it checked again. Most people tend to associate hearing loss with aging, but hearing loss can happen at any age. According to the National Institutes of Health:\n18 percent of American adults 45-64 years old have a hearing loss\n30 percent of adults 65-74 years old have a hearing loss\n47 percent of adults 75 years old or older have a hearing loss\nThere are any number of factors that can contribute to a hearing loss, including:\nUnfortunately hearing loss is not a disorder that\u2019s easy to recognize and is often left untreated for many years. Recent studies, most notably from Johns Hopkins are beginning to document the impact of untreated hearing loss. The most recent study from Dr. Frank Lin of Johns Hopkins reported that,\n\u201cAlthough the brain becomes smaller with age, the shrinkage seems to be fast-tracked in older adults with hearing loss, according to the results of a study by researchers from Johns Hopkins and the National Institute on Aging. The findings add to a growing list of health consequences associated with hearing loss, including increased risk of dementia, falls, hospitalizations, and diminished physical and mental health overall.\u201d\nThis test you have now will serve as your \u201cbaseline\u201d test.

        "raw_content": "Govt\u2019s Wish List For RBI\nThe imposition of GST affected large numbers of businessmen immediately. Fiscal policy, therefore, affects the electoral fortunes of the Government. Remember, the Congress had won the 2009 elections on the back of the fiscal policy of providing funds for MNREGA. Farm workers across the country started getting 100 days\u2019 work in their village at reasonable remuneration. They voted for the Congress.\nTHE two parts of Government\u2019s economic policy are fiscal and monetary. Collection of taxes such as GST and Income Tax; and expenditures such as paying for MNREGA are major parts of fiscal policy. Printing currency notes and managing foreign exchange reserves are major parts of monetary policy. The impact of fiscal policy such as the collection of taxes and paying for MNREGA have immediate and direct impact on the people.\nFor example, the imposition of GST affected large numbers of businessmen immediately. Fiscal policy, therefore, affects the electoral fortunes of the Government. Remember, the Congress had won the 2009 elections on the back of the fiscal policy of providing funds for MNREGA. Farm workers across the country started getting 100 days\u2019 work in their village at reasonable remuneration. They voted for the Congress. In contrast, the monetary policy affects the people after some delay.\nLet us say, the value of all the goods available in the market was Rs. 100 crores and notes worth Rs. 100 crores were chasing these goods. Now, the Government wants to spend an additional Rs. 10 crores on MNREGA. So the Government printed Rs. 10 crores of notes and bought cement for works to be undertaken under MNREGA. Suddenly, the goods available in the market got reduced by Rs. 10 crores and now only Rs. 90 crores worth of goods were available. However, the notes with the people remained at Rs. 100 crores as previously.\nSo notes of Rs. 100 crores started chasing goods of Rs 90 crores. The result was that shopkeepers increased the price of the goods. Goods that were previously sold for Rs. 90 crores the same goods were now sold for Rs. 100 crores. The people became poorer by Rs. 10 crores because the purchasing power of their money declined in the same proportion that the Government printed the notes. However, this decline in the wealth of the people would not be immediately visible to them. It will take some time, maybe 6 months to a year for the increase in price to take place.\nTherefore, collecting money through the fiscal policy such as collection of GST impacts the people immediately and directly. It is like a thief stealing your wallet.\nOn the other hand, collecting the same money through monetary policy such as printing of notes impacts them in the long run and indirectly. It is like the Sun taking water from the pond. Therefore, Governments want to use monetary policy to raise the funds for making the desired expenditures.\nBut there is no free lunch in economics. The printing of notes leads to an increase in prices. As explained above, goods that were previously sold for Rs. 90 crores are now sold for Rs. 100 crores. Prices have increased by 10 per cent. This increase in prices destabilises the economy. Businessmen are reluctant to enter in contracts to supply goods because they do not know how much the prices will increase. Foreign investors become reluctant to invest because the value of their investments becomes less.\nThe economy suffers\u2014but in the long run. This delayed impact of monetary policy comes in handy for the political parties at the time of the elections. For example, the Government can print money and use it to distribute free TVs to the voters and get their votes. The voters would be hit by the consequent price rise and reduction of their purchasing power in the next year. But the elections would have been won by then.\nConclusion is that collecting GST and printing notes both involve imposition of taxes on the people. However, the impact of collection of GST is direct and immediate while the impact of printing notes is indirect and delayed. Therefore, Governments prefer to print notes before elections.\nIt is for this reason that many countries have removed the monetary policy from the direct control of the Government and given that responsibility to an autonomous Central Bank. Most legislatures have restricted their own monetary powers in the long term interests of the people. It is like the homemaker giving the breadwinner autonomy to buy a car; or the breadwinner giving autonomy to the homemaker to decide the menu. They recognise that their welfare will be enhanced by divesting themselves of these powers. Thus, the Federal Reserve Board in the United States of America is largely autonomous. Members of the Board are appointed for a term of 14 years and, once appointed, the Government cannot remove them. The Bank of England is also free to determine the amount of notes printed. The European Central Bank has heads of the Central Banks of the member countries as their board members in their personal capacity. The Governments of the European Union do not have any official representation on the Board at all. The Reserve Bank of India is likewise autonomous though less so. The Government of India appoints 3 members to the Monetary Policy Committee that determines the monetary policy and the Government can remove the Governor.\nWe must understand the present controversy about the autonomy of the Reserve Bank in this backdrop. The General elections are approaching in about 6 months. The Government may want to implement some vote-catching programmes like MNREGA but does not have the money to do this. Therefore, the Government is asking the RBI to loosen its purse strings. Under Section 7 of the RBI Act, the Government can enter into consultations with the RBI and then, if necessary, give directions to the RBI. The Government has invoked this power and held\nconsultations with RBI though it has not issued any directions at the time of writing this article.\nThe first demand of the Government is that the RBI should transfer greater amount of its reserves to the Government. The RBI makes profit on its operations of lending money and managing foreign exchange reserves. It periodically transfers part of its accumulated reserves to the Government just as companies issue bonus shares to the shareholders from their reserves. The second demand of the Government is that the RBI should increase the supply of money in the economy so that the interest rates are low and businesses find it easy to expand. These demands have been made 6 months before the General Elections. The Government wants to use monetary policy for short term electoral gains even though the long term consequences may be negative. Governments across the world have given autonomy to their Central Banks to prevent precisely such a shortsighted policy.\nRailways to bring stations, trains under CCTV\nAAP releases manifesto\n15-year track record of BJP far better than Congress: CM",

It is about a girl named Luce who is sent to a reform school, Sword and Cross, to get away from her past, and there she meets Daniel Grigori.

A mystery surrounds Daniel but is Luce prepared for the answers to all her questions?\nI read the first book, Fallen, when it first came out and I loved it. The story was so unique, and I love angels so it was perfect for me. I only recently finished the series and I could not believe I waited this long to finish it. Every book kept me interested and the series evolved so much throughout each book. By the end of the series, I was so invested in it that I could not believe it was almost over. This series is definitely in my top five favorite series list. I recommend the Fallen series to anyone who likes angels, a dark back story, and a mysterious hero. I gave it five out of five stars.",

        "raw_content": "Embrace by Jessica Shirvington Review!\nIt starts with a whisper: \"It's time for you to know who you are...\"\nOn her 17th birthday, everything will change for Violet Eden. The boy she loves will betray her. Her enemy will save her. She will have to decide just how much she's willing to sacrifice.\nDangerously exciting and darkly romantic, EMBRACE is a compelling novel of good and evil, seductive desires and impossible choices. A centuries old war between fallen angels and the protectors of humanity chooses a new fighter. It's a battle Violet doesn't want, but she lives her life by two rules: don't run and don't quit. If angels seek vengeance and humans are the warriors, you could do a lot worse than betting on Violet Eden.\nLINCOLN: He's been Violet's one anchor, her running partner and kickboxing trainer. Only he never told her he's Grigori--part human, part angel--and that he was training her for an ancient battle between Angels and Exiles.\nPHOENIX: No one knows where his loyalties lie, yet he's the only one there to pick up the pieces and protect her after Lincoln's lies. In a world of dark and light, he is all shades of gray.\nTwo sides: Angel or Exile.\nTwo guys: Lincoln or Phoenix.\nThe wrong choice could cost not only her life, but her eternity...\nI didn't not expect to love this series as much as I did. I picked it up at the bookstore because I was intrigued by the cover and the synopsis sparked an interest as well. Once I started reading this book, I couldn't stop. I read it in one sitting because I couldn't put it down. I love books that have anything to do with angels in some way and this book was right up my alley.\nFirst of all, the plot of this story and the characters were AMAZING. Violet was a character that you immediately connect with. She is in love with Lincoln and she doesn't think he feels the same, but all of the sudden she finds out that he has been hiding HUGE secrets from her. She can't help but be angry and hurt, and those feelings really made me connect with her on a deeper level. Anyway, as the story goes on she learns more about herself and what she is meant to do, and she reacts like any normal person would, with a sense of being overwhelmed. In the story, Violet has to deal with a broken heart, more than once, which has me hungry for revenge, but also with the fact that her life has been turned upside down. The plot of this book really captures your heart first and then shortly after, the action just seals in the deal. First, your heart is captivated by Violet and her situation and then your attention is captivated by the sheer complexity of the world that Shirvington created. I have read a lot of books about Angels, their decedents, and things like that, but I've never seen a take on that world quite like the one in Embrace. Its uniqueness is one aspect that made me love it. Most angel and demon books read the same way and feature similar story lines, but this one is different from anything I've read before.\nI really love the fact that when Violet is wronged, she responds to it. I've read way too many books about heroines who have been wronged and within one chapter they have completely forgotten that a guy or whoever screwed them over. That is not the case with Violet. She makes sure that the offending party knows they screwed up, and most of you know I love books that feature aspects of revenge. I also loved how different Lincoln and Phoenix were. Lincoln was like the hot best friends who secretly loves Violet, and Phoenix was the sexy bad boy who is up to something mysterious. It was so interesting watching them both interact with Violet and watch how she reacted to them. Either way, I was head over heals in love with both of them.....until the end that is, but I can't talk about that because of spoilers. Just know that I CANNOT wait to see what happened in the second book!\nI wish I could say more and talk about the book more in depth, but the synopsis is so vague that I don't want to ruin the surprise Embrace has in store for its future readers. Just know that this book is full of action and romance, and I loved it. If you loved the Fallen series, the Hush Hush series, or the Sweet Evil trilogy then I think this book would be perfect for you. Embrace is definitely a favorite book of the year for me. I give it five out of five stars.",

        "raw_content": "HomeNewsIs a Car Public or Private Space? Well, Some Irani ...\nPhoto Courtesy Kamyar Adl via Flickr CC 2.0\nWomen in public places are threatening to a system that loves to lock them up in homes or other \u201csafe\u201d places. Which is why it\u2019s exhilarating to see women break out of these boundaries. Remember \u2018Why Loiter\u2019, a movement that reclaimed public spaces by defining loitering as resistance, in India?\nMost recently, it\u2019s the stories of Iranian women\u2019s rebellion that are coming to the fore. Iran has a compulsory Hijab rule for women, in public places, since 1979. Women have been protesting this rule by wearing white headscarves on Wednesdays, and men have sometimes shown solidarity against this policing. Now, several women have been refusing to wear the hijab in cars, while driving, which naturally is infuriating some.\nThe police have tried to stop them, levied fines on them, and temporarily seized their vehicles, but in the light of a new debate, their attempts have not been too successful. It seems like Iranian women have set foot on grey areas; people are now debating whether a car is a public space, subject to the hijab policy, or a private space where women can dress freely.\nHassan Rouhani, the President of Iran, thinks that people\u2019s private spaces should be left to them. He had spoken up against the crackdown of women who refused to wear the hijab, in 2015, \u201cThe police can\u2019t do something and say I\u2019m doing this because God said so. That\u2019s not a police [officer]\u2019s business.\u201d Other authorities interpret the car differently. Hadi Sadeghi, the deputy head of Iran\u2019s judiciary chief, even had a unique, unparalleled solution to this confusion: \u201cThe invisible part of the car, such as the trunk, is a private space, but this does not apply to the visible parts of the car.\u201d Clearly a lot of thought has gone into that one. Yahya Kamalpour, a member of the Parliament, on the other hand, said, \u201cThe space within people\u2019s cars is a private space and the police has no right to enter that space without a judicial order.\u201d\nThe whole pandemonium is making us crack up \u2014 it reveals how fragile and vague these policing terms sometimes are. I\u2019m reminded of ridiculous primetime debates on TV inviting people to answer polls via text messages, and boy gangs musing over how women are so \u2018mysterious\u2019. Now that there\u2019s some boot-room, thanks to ambiguity, the Iranian women can let their hair down once and for all.\nTags: Car, hijab, iran, Women drivers in Iran",

        "title": "Surrender to the Void: XTC: This is Pop",
        "raw_content": "Directed by Roger Penny and Charlie Thomas, XTC: This is Pop is a documentary film about one of the great British bands to come out of late 70s new wave boom who went from this oddball post-punk group to becoming one of the darlings of the British music scene despite their limited commercial success. The film follows the band from their early years to the period in the mid-80s where they became a studio-only band until the early 2000s when they disbanded as vocalist/guitarist Andy Partridge, bassist/vocalist Colin Moulding, guitarist Dave Gregory, and drummer Terry Chambers tell their story as well as comments from several admirers including Stewart Copeland of the Police, Clem Burke of Blondie, Harry Shearer, music producers John Leckie and Hugh Paghdam, and Steven Wilson. The result is a whimsical and offbeat film from Roger Penny and Charlie Thompson.\nFrom the late 1970s to the early 2000s, XTC was a band that were signed during the wave of punk where anyone that was punk or new wave were in as they had some songs that were unique and eventually became more sophisticated and elaborately arranged into pop songs that were inventive and catchy. Though they didn\u2019t have a lot of commercial success in their time, many felt that XTC were very influential for a lot of bands including the Britpop music scene of the 1990s. The film isn\u2019t just a straightforward documentary about the band but also a spoof of sorts of rock-based documentaries where band leader Andy Partridge takes shot at many of these conventions in his interviews as well as talking about many of the clich\u00e9s that would include a hilarious cameo from the legendary progressive rock keyboardist Rick Wakeman making a snide comment toward the band.\nThough the documentary doesn\u2019t make much mention of their hiatus for much of the 1990s due to a legal dispute with their record label nor the mention of the band\u2019s eventual break-up in 2006. The film does follow their evolution dating back to the early 70s in a line-up that included Partridge, Moulding, Chambers, and keyboardist Barry Andrews who would be part of the band until 1979 due to tension between him and Partridge where the latter thought the former\u2019s songs weren\u2019t any good. Dave Gregory would join the band shortly after Andrews\u2019 departure as he was an old friend of Partridge where the band evolved from these complex and abstract post-punk songs into something more pop-based through the songs written by Partridge or others by Moulding who would be a revered songwriter in his own right.\nThings changed in 1982 during a tour with the Police where Partridge had a breakdown that lead to the band no longer becoming a touring act which was something Chambers couldn\u2019t accept as he later admitted that he could\u2019ve been more sympathetic towards Partridge\u2019s health issues as it related to a valium addiction that he had when he was a teenager due to his own relationship with his mentally-ill mother. Following Chambers\u2019 departure and legal issues relating to lost finances, the band would continue as a trio as a studio band that some felt hurt their commercial fortunes despite their early success in the late 70s/early 80s. It was during those studio years in the mid-80s the band formed a side project with Gregory\u2019s brother Ian called the Dukes of Stratospher as a psychedelic pop band that released two albums in 1985 and 1987 to great acclaim and some success. In 1986, the band made what some consider to be their best album in Skylarking with producer Todd Rundgren that featured the controversial song Dear God.\nMuch of the film\u2019s direction is straightforward as Roger Penny and Charlie Thomas would film with the interviews with cinematographer Den Pollitt with editor Roger Penny would use footage from music videos and rare footages to tell the story. The sound work of Rhys Adams, Matt Clark, Michael O\u2019Donoghue, and Oliver Rotchell would play into the different mixes of the music to help tell the story yet what makes Penny and Thomas\u2019 direction unique is the usage of model trains and its surroundings modeled after the band\u2019s home town of Swindon which is a typical British suburban town that is still enchanting while it also include miniature models of the band designed by Ian Kay and Paul Marshall-Porter. The film also include some animation and drawings by Partridge as it played into his own whimsical personality.\nXTC: This is Pop is an incredible film from Roger Penny and Charlie Thomas about one of Britain\u2019s greatest pop bands. It\u2019s a film that doesn\u2019t just show why they\u2019re one of the most beloved groups in the world of pop music but also a band that doesn\u2019t get enough accolades for their contributions though there\u2019s fans that want them to remain a cult band of sorts. In the end, XTC: This is Pop is a remarkable film from Roger Penny and Charlie Thomas.\nLabels: charlie thomas, clem burke, harry shearer, roger penny, steven wilson, stewart copeland, xtc",

        "raw_content": "St Vince calm in the Storm\nThe Storm: The world economic crisis and what it means \u2013 Vince Cable Atlantic Books \u00a314.99\nReview by Tim Harford for Management Today\nThe chief treasury spokesman for the Liberal Democrats occupies a curious niche in the political landscape. At one time scorned as \u2018Dr Gloom\u2019 for his warnings of a debt crisis and a property bubble, Vince Cable has now acquired cult status. One sketch-writer depicted the \u2018in-Vince-able tour\u2019 and a crowd of screaming groupies, \u2018the Vincettes\u2019 (I should say I am something of a fan myself, having briefly worked for Cable while he was chief economist at Shell.)\nJournalists bewildered by the credit crunch developed the habit of turning to Cable, not for a political soundbite but for a neutral and straightforward explanation of what had just happened. That\u2019s exactly what The Storm offers.\nThe most striking fact about the book is that it is not a political tract; indeed, it betrays few traces of having been written by a politician at all. References to Cable\u2019s political activities are fleeting and, with those excised, I\u2019d defy anyone who does not already know Cable\u2019s reputation to read the book and identify the author\u2019s profession. It seems to be far more the work of an academic with a deft touch than of someone who wants to be chancellor of the exchequer.\nAll this is a testament to Cable\u2019s intellect and his distaste for cheap populism. Still, at times the neutrality is so studied that one longs for a bit of political knockabout. After pointing out the odd situation whereby the poor Chinese lend money to the rich Americans, he comments: \u2018The explanations for this strange phenomenon are several and tend to vary according to whom the author is seeking to blame.\u2019 Just so, yet Cable does not presume to adjudicate. Readers seeking enlightenment about global financial imbalances should be pleased; potential Liberal Democrat voters will be none the wiser about what they\u2019re voting for.\nWhere Cable espouses political views, they are a study in moderation. He worries about protectionism and anti-immigrant sentiment, and argues that we shouldn\u2019t throw out the open-markets baby with the banking-system bathwater. He expresses these concerns in the most impersonal terms imaginable. \u2018There is a middle position \u2013 broadly that of the author \u2013 which acknowledges that financial markets are subject to repeated bubbles, panics and crashes, and maintains that they should not be confused with markets in goods and services within and between countries. The worry some of us have is that legitimate arguments for re-regulating financial markets become confused with a generalised movement towards dirigisme.\u2019\nEven if Cable worries in the third person, he is right to worry. Yet lip service is paid to such views daily, by politicians of all stripes.\nThe Storm, then, is best judged not as polemic or manifesto but simply as a piece of analysis. The subject is the post-Lehmans world economy, from the credit crunch to the rise of China. The book is wide-ranging, informed, balanced, calm and well-paced. The logic is always clear and the explanations are cogent, even if the writing is not especially gripping. Cable has often been ahead of the curve, but publishing a book in the teeth of a fast-moving crisis does not allow him that position here. Yet his analysis seems up-to-the-minute.\nDespite the time he spent sketching possible futures in Shell\u2019s scenario team, Cable\u2019s book is written almost entirely in the past tense. We are told what has happened so far and what experts think about it. There\u2019s not much about what should happen and less still about what will happen, even in the final chapter entitled \u2018The Future: A road map\u2019. Such modesty is becoming, but a little disappointing.\nThe Storm covers the credit crunch in full, explaining what went wrong and sketching out possible remedies. This slim book also devotes about half its space to other big issues in macroeconomics today: the oil shock, food prices, the role of China and India, and the risk of a political backlash. In each case, the argument is solid and wide-ranging.\nThe best chapter picks apart the way oil markets work. It deftly covers the history of oil, explains the theory of \u2018peak oil\u2019 and offers reasons to be sceptical about it \u2013 and skewers the popular notion that speculators were responsible for the price spike of 2008. Right on all counts, and a superb primer for anyone wanting to understand this unglamorous but vital slice of the world economy.\nThis book will not surprise those who have followed the crisis closely, but it should find a receptive audience of people who feel the world economy has changed faster than they can follow, and who are willing to read carefully and think hard to figure it all out. They could do a lot worse than read The Storm.\n3rd of May, 2009 \u2022 Other Writing\t\u2022 Comments off",

        "title": "New Software to Stop Drivers From Using Their Phones Behind the Wheel",
        "raw_content": "New Software to Stop Drivers From Using Their Phones Behind the Wheel\nLeave a comment Thursday, January 19, 2017 / Published in Auto Guides\nThough completely illegal, it\u2019s still very common to see UK drivers using their mobile devices behind the wheel of a moving vehicle, claims transport correspondent Richard Westcott in a BBC article. The Department for Transport (DfT) wants this to change. How do they plan to do this, however? With the use of mobile phones and other devices behind the wheel being such a hot topic as of late, specialist Volkswagen dealer Inchcape Volkswagen is here to make sense of everything that has been in the headlines.\nThe DfT wants to implement software into vehicles that will disable the use of mobile devices behind the wheel. This software would disable any internet connection, and the connection to a telephone network. With the mobile devices in the car disabled, it would make it impossible for drivers to make calls, send text messages, send emails, check social medias, or read news articles behind the wheel of the car.\nAs mentioned before, it\u2019s already illegal to do any of these activities behind the wheel of a moving car or on a motorcycle in the UK. This has been the case for many years. In fact, according to GOV.UK, the only exceptions to this rule are if you have to call 999 or 112 but it\u2019s not safe or practical to stop the vehicle first, or if you\u2019re stopped and parked safely when using your phone. The key word to that rule is \u2018parked\u2019, because it\u2019s illegal to check your phone while in bumper to bumper traffic, or at a stoplight.\nA failure to obey these laws could have you wind up receiving a fine of \u00a3100 and adding three penalty points to your licence. However, these rules are supposed to get stricter sometime in 2017. You could be looking at a fine of double that, and if you offend twice, you could wind up going to court over the case.\nHowever, despite all this, it doesn\u2019t look like many drivers are willing to change this illegal habit of theirs. According to a survey for RAC Report on Motoring 2016, 31% of drivers admitted to using their phone behind the wheel in the last year. 14% of people thought that it was acceptable to make a quick phone call behind the wheel. 20% of people thought it was okay to check their social medias behind the wheel. It\u2019s no wonder the DfT wants to take action against using mobile devices behind the wheel.\nRead Previous4 Tips To Start Earning Money As A Car Blogger\nRead NextYou No Longer Need Tune-Ups for a Car",

        "raw_content": "The author wanted a text that would bring together the ideas behind many of the more recent distributed systems \u2013 systems such as Amazon\u2019s Dynamo, Google\u2019s BigTable and MapReduce, Apache\u2019s Hadoop and so on.\nIn this text he has tried to provide a more accessible introduction to distributed systems. To him, that means two things: introducing the key concepts that you will need in order to have a good time reading more serious texts, and providing a narrative that covers things in enough detail that you get a gist of what\u2019s going on without getting stuck on details. Beyond 2013, you\u2019ve got the Internet, and you can selectively read more about the topics you find most interesting.\nIn his view, much of distributed programming is about dealing with the implications of two consequences of distribution:\nthat information travels at the speed of light\nthat independent things fail independently\nIn other words, that the core of distributed programming is dealing with distance (duh!) and having more than one thing (duh!). These constraints define a space of possible system designs, and his hope is that after reading this you\u2019ll have a better sense of how distance, time and consistency models interact.\nThis text is focused on distributed programming and systems concepts you\u2019ll need to understand commercial systems in the data center. It would be madness to attempt to cover everything. You\u2019ll learn many key protocols and algorithms (covering, for example, many of the most cited papers in the discipline), including some new exciting ways to look at eventual consistency that haven\u2019t still made it into college textbooks \u2013 such as CRDTs and the CALM theorem.\nThe first chapter covers distributed systems at a high level by introducing a number of important terms and concepts.\nThe second chapter dives deeper into abstractions and impossibility results.\nThe third chapter discusses time and order, and clocks as well as the various uses of time, order and clocks (such as vector clocks and failure detectors).\nThe fourth chapter introduces the replication problem, and the two basic ways in which it can be performed.\nThe fifth chapter discussed replication with weak consistency guarantees.\nThe appendix covers recommendations for further reading.\nby Mikito Takada (MOBI, PDF, EPUB, HTML, Online reading) \u2013 5 chapters\nPreviousOpenSSL Cookbook: A Guide to the Most Frequently Used OpenSSL Features and Commands\nNextTwo Bits: The Cultural Significance of Free Software",

        "title": "True Wealth: Abundant Living (The Balance)",
        "raw_content": "In recent years much has been taught in the church on the topic of abundant living. Thankfully the children of God are awakening to the fact that godliness does not mean taking a vow of poverty.\nThe extreme notion of self-denial and taking a vow of poverty began during the dark ages when the word of God was removed from the hands of the laymen and religious orders, including the monks and nuns, began to arise. The idea that spirituality requires taking a vow of poverty has done incredible damage to the advancement of God's kingdom because it has its origin in Gnosticism. Gnosticism is the pagan philosophy that the spiritual world cannot be tainted with secular pursuits, such as science, law, commerce, government, or in this case, money. This compartmentalization of our spiritual life trapped the church in a world that is controlled and managed by the ungodly. The truth is that Jesus is the LORD of everything, including money (Jn. 18:36-37).\nThe extreme opposite view, that God wants you to drive a new Caddy, live in a plush mansion, and enjoy the niceties of life continuously is as dangerous as Gnosticism because it is also based on a half-truth. The so-called \"prosperity\" gospel has had a devastating effect on countless Christians who were taught that their spirituality justified their excessive appetite for the things of this world.\nSo what is the truth about abundant living? Perhaps the best definition that I have heard of true prosperity is learning \"the secret of being content in every situation\" (Phil. 4:12) This deals with the root issue, having a content heart.\nAbundant living requires a balanced perspective on money. Money is a tool, not an end it itself. Money is the fruit of our labor that is to be stewarded for the kingdom with great diligence. Money is not evil unless it is used to promote evil. Jesus promised us an abundant life, overflowing with His presence, power and passion. The key to walking in abundance is to learn the lost art of contentment. Contentment does not mean apathy or slothfulness. God wants us to serve Him with contentment, regardless of our financial condition. Let's learn from our Master -- that while He owns the cattle on a thousand hills, He was content to come into this world and to leave this world in the humblest of settings. While He dined with kings, His life was given for the lowliest. True abundance begins on the inside and is never excessive on the outside.",

Luckily I arrived at Reagan International Airport on time at 8am and navigated the metro all the way to the National Council's headquarters for my orientation session. The session started at 11am so I meandered around D.C. for a half an hour or so until I found a little coffee place. I have to say that I enjoyed the best cup of hot chocolate that I've ever had in my life at Caribou Coffee.\nThe orientation session began with introductions of the nine other students going on the trip to Saudi Arabia with me. The fellows come from all across the country (Texas, California, Michigan, Georgia, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland) but I noticed that most people studied international affairs or political science with a focus on the Middle East or Arabic. It was great to meet other people who have similar interests in the Middle East and a passion for studying the region, Arabic and Islam. Everyone seemed very friendly and thoughtful!\nAfter introductions we ate lunch and had a discussion on some of the pre-trip assigned readings that had basic background information on the country. Finally from 2:30pm to 5:30pm we met with four different groups or speakers who had special connections to or familiarity with Saudi Arabia. First we had a presentation by some representatives from the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia in D.C. After that some representatives from Saudi Aramco came to talk to us about some interesting things that the company is doing with clean energy and various social projects. Then we spoke with a board member on the National Council on U.S.-Arab Relations, Randa Fahmy-Hudome, who worked under the Bush Administration as the Associate Deputy Secretary of Energy. She had traveled to Saudi Arabia multiple times before and had some great advice on traveling to the country and some interesting insights from her experiences in the Middle East. Finally we spoke to Colonel Abbas Dahouk, a Middle East Foreign Area Officer in the U.S. Army who recently became the Defense Attach\u00e9 to Saudi Arabia. He had some really interesting things to say about his time in Saudi Arabia during the Gulf War and the mid-2000s with the Riyadh compound bombings. He also outlined the strategic military and diplomatic relations between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia.\nThe orientation ended at 6pm with everyone feeling quite exhausted and hungry. After the session was over I grabbed some dinner with several fellows and headed over to my hotel.\nTomorrow my flight leaves for Saudi Arabia at 6pm and I couldn't be more excited! It almost seems like a dream that I'll be there tomorrow.",

        "raw_content": "The New York Times\u2019 editorial writers have apparently spent the last 11 months in a Rip Van Winkle-like state of unconsciousness when it comes to climate change.\nby Steven Milloy 10/21/2010 at Human Events\nBut nowhere in the editorial did the Times recall Climategate or the other related global warming-related \u201cgates\u201d that the November 2009 scandal touched off\u2014all of which, no doubt, helped make skeptics of 95% of Republican Senate candidates. So here\u2019s a quick recap of what happened over the past year to the legendary scientific \u201cconsensus\u201d on global warming.\nLast November, a host of private and candid e-mails between climate alarmist-scientists stored at the University of East Anglia (UK) somehow made its way into the public domain and history. Like a shot heard around the world, the e-mails instantaneously validated what the climate skeptics had been saying for more than a decade about the alarmists \u2014 that they had cooked the books on global warming science and then conspired to silence and belittle their critics.\nAs it turns out, the reason a \u201ctrick\u201d was needed to \u201chide the decline\u201d was that, in reality, the hockey stick data used to show global temperatures spiking during the 20th Century actually showed a decline in the later part of the 20th Century \u2014 the precise opposite phenomena that the alarmists claimed to have occurred. But the inconvenient data was intentionally deleted and replaced with other, more cooperative data.\nPerhaps the real significance of Climategate is that it opened the floodgates of pent-up global skepticism. Climategate was followed in rapid succession by glacier-gate, rainforest-gate, Pachauri-gate and NASA-gate.",

        "raw_content": "Gardat 1\nAnimal Testing Research Paper Conclusion Apa\nIt is estimated that each year 26 million animals in the United States are used for animal testing. Animals are used to test scientific developments and commercial products. New medical treatments are tested on animals to verify the toxicity of new medications or the safety of a product that will be used on humans. The health care and commercial industries also turn to animal testing for these reasons.\nWhile some contest the use of animals for animal testing it is not a new idea. Research tests conducted on living animals have been practiced since 500 BC. Nonetheless there are those who argue that the use of animals for testing is an inhumane and cruel practice. They argue that alternative methods should be developed to prohibit the need for animal testing. Many organizations such as PETA fight for increased research into alternative methods of testing so that testing on animals can be alleviated. They also argue that tests on animals will yield irrelevant results compared to humans and therefore there is no purpose in animal testing.\nConversely the use of animals is seen by many in the medical field as necessary. While it is not ideal to cause harm to animals it is a safer way to test new products compared to testing them on humans. Typical research and development will begin trials on rats. If those tests prove successful then another set of tests are conducted on monkeys. Once the tests are successful with monkeys then human testing begins. These tiered rounds of testing are used to reduce the amount of mistakes and negative side effects in all breakthroughs. It is argued that animal testing saves many lives and there is no alternative to testing on a living organism. In addition there are strict regulations for animal testing which prevent any mistreatment of the animals in question.\nOverall the use of animals for research testing is an old concept and one that has historically been debated. Proponents claim that with regulations in place the animals are not intentionally harmed and that they are taken care of and treated as well as possible. They claim that there is no alternative and that the use of animal testing has saved many lives. And yet there are animal friendly organizations who claim that it is an unnecessary step to use animals for testing and it should be stopped due to its inhumane and cruel nature.\nOne thought on \u201cAnimal Testing Research Paper Conclusion Apa\u201d\nWriting Thesis Statements High School\nEssay On Cyclone In Odisha\nTectum Verlag Dissertation\nOutline Format For Comparison Essay\nHospitality Cover Letter Experience But No Degree",

        "raw_content": "Village on the Greens History\nThanks to the History Committee who worked hard to bring this compilation of history together. Beryl Silvernale, Chairperson; Julie Sipior, Researcher; Rita Knierim, Author; Nancy McWatters, Secretary; MiMi Sackett, Board Liaison; and Project Photographers Richard and Carmella Castilione.\nThe Village on the Greens, an oasis surrounded by a city, 624 shareholder and rental homes comprise this gem formerly known as El Rancho Village in Bradenton, Florida. Little remains of the former 85-acre orange grove. Those of us who call the Village home enjoy the camaraderie and friendliness of our neighbors. Amenities abound and many clubs potlucks, regional dinners, and games are available for residents\u2019 enjoyment.\nMr. and Mrs. R.A. Bradley purchased this large acreage of land in 1951 from Ray K. and Jane Van Camp. The Van Camps owned the property from 1940 which they developed as a citrus grove until the sale to the Bradleys in 1951. The Bradleys sold oranges and grapefruit from their groves on Cortez Road. Mr. Bradley spoke Spanish so the couple decided to start a mobile home park on the property in 1954, and the park was named El Rancho Village comprised of 24 units. After the lighting and paved street updates, the village grew rapidly. It was the first mobile home park to have its own sewer system. By 1958 there were 224 units in the park.\nIn April 1958 the Bradleys sold El Rancho Mobile Village to George McKenny conglomerate. The same year Highway 301 was established. Mr. Bradley did retain an additional property which remained in the Bradley family until 1999 when it was sold to the Moose Lodge.\nAccording to the warranty deed of 1960, El Rancho was approximately 65 acres and in 1961 an additional ten acres were purchased which probably today is Ranchero Circle and Ranchero Drive.\nIn 1968 El Ranchero Village was sold to Jean, William, and Howard Seider, Jr. and Patricia Tyler. Improvements were made throughout the park with a small building constructed as a bank and a barbershop was built on the corner. In 1982 the residents incorporated legally becoming a Homeowners Association (HOA). In 1986 the HOA filed papers with the State of Florida giving them the first right of purchase who the owners chose to divest the property.\nIn March 1998 the park leadership was informed that the owners of the park had received an offer for purchase that they could not decline. The residents had to come up with the sum of money that had been offered to the Seiders with 45 days to exercise their right to purchase. Decisions had to be made, shares had to be sold and a plan put into place. All this was with the oversight of Bob Recker, President of the Board of Directors, at that time. In May 1998 the El Rancho Partners sold the property to El Rancho Residents Association. They then formed the corporation, El Rancho Village, Inc., and applied for and received the approval to form a cooperative.\nIn 2011 consideration was given to changing the name of El Rancho Village. Later in 2011 El Rancho Village became known as Village on the Greens.",

        "raw_content": "DIAN FOSSEY'S TOMB\nHome Hiking Dian Fossey's Tomb\nIn the late 1960s, Rwanda\u2019s Virunga mountains became home to one of the world\u2019s most famous prima-tologists, Dian Fossey. Inspired to travel to Africa by a friend\u2019s photographs and stories, Fossey took out a loan and made the trip in 1963. Fossey\u2019s life, and those of Rwanda\u2019s endangered mountain gorillas, would be changed forever. Fossey founded the Karisoke Research Center in the remote rainforests of northwest Rwanda and, for the next twenty years, devoted her life to living with and studying eight gorilla groups in the surrounding mountains.\nFossey revolutionized the way the world viewed gorillas. No longer were they seen as savage beasts, but rather as gentle giants not all that different from their human cousins. She was accepted by the goril-las in a way no person ever had been before. In fact, photographs showing gorillas touching her hand were the first ever recorded peaceful contact between man and gorilla. But as much as Fossey would have liked to live and conduct her research in peace, poachers constantly troubled her. She fought hard for anti-poaching measures to protect the gorillas she had come to know so well.\nIn 1983, Fossey published Gorillas in the Mist, a detailed look at her scientific research and how it came about. It served as the inspiration for the 1988 film of the same title. Just two years later, however, she was brutally murdered as she slept in the bedroom of her cabin. Today, Fossey\u2019s legacy lives on, namely through the conservation efforts of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International. Fossey was buried next to her favorite gorilla, Digit, not far from her research center. Tourists now have the chance to visit her tomb in remembrance of one of the most dedicated and fearless wildlife researchers in the world.\nThis hike may take up to 2hours uphill with a slight chance to encounter Mountain Gorillas, Golden Monkeys, numerous birds and wide range of wildlife along the trail. The hiking permit costs $75 and the hike starts at 7:00 a.m. Contact us for more details about this hike.",

In their class, where they are in the ICT Essentials program, students are learning how to edit existing algorithms and create their own. To put the concept into a new perspective for the students, Miss McMillan's class completed an activity in which they used block segments to create their own small obstacle course for their lego figure to go through. The students had to write out an algorithm that others could easily follow in order to complete the obstacle course. They students did an excellent job with this activity and were very creative in the process.

        "raw_content": "Egypt\u2019s junior modern pentathlon made history after qualifying for the 2018 Youth Olympic Games in Argentina, reports Inas Mazhar\nEgypt dominated the world championships with three gold, two silver and three bronze medals, four more than nearest rivals Italy and China. France won two and there was a single medal for Hungary, Korea and Russia.\nThe gold medals were won by Ahmed Al-Gendi in the individual competition, the men\u2019s team and the mixed relay competition which saw the duo of Al-Gendi and Salma Abdel-Maqsoud.\nThe silver medals went to Mohaned Shaaban in the men\u2019s individual event and the women\u2019s team event.\nThe bronze medals were captured by Alyedin Sweilam in the men\u2019s individual event and the women\u2019s team relay of Mariam Amer and Amira Qandil. The third bronze went to the men\u2019s relay team of Shaaban and Sweilam.\nThe young Egyptians had displayed confident performances at the UIPM 2018 Under 19 Tetrathlon World Championships. Their remarkable performances reflected the strong form the Egyptians had shown throughout the one-week event in Portugal where the biggest-ever gathering of teenage pentathletes had assembled for this particular tournament with more than 220 athletes.\nAl-Gendi of Egypt was crowned the men\u2019s individual champion and was surrounded by familiar faces on the podium. In an extraordinary clean sweep, Egypt won all three medals of the men\u2019s individual competition as Shaaban and Sweilam claimed silver and bronze respectively.\nThe result demonstrated that Egypt\u2019s production line of pentathlon talent is as strong as ever. All three medalists finished in the top six of both fencing and laser-run.\n\u201cWe are really proud of our athletes. This is an unprecedented achievement especially on the junior level, which proves that our strategy has worked well,\u201d said Egyptian Modern Pentathlon Federation President Sherif Al-Erian.\n\u201cI believe we are at our peak now and we are looking forward to the Youth Olympic Games in Argentina in October. We will be working very hard in order to make a similar appearance on the Olympic podium this time.\n\u201cThis generation is also our hope for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo 2020,\u201d Al-Erian said.\nThe contest for gold was not especially close, as Al-Gendi crossed the line with a winning margin of 27sec. Mohanad beat Sweilam by five seconds and the man in fourth place, Ugo Fleurot of France, was a further five seconds behind.\nJozsef Tamas of Hungary came home in fifth and Uladzislau Astrouski of Belarus was one place further back.\n\u201cIt was hard but I\u2019m so happy and I can\u2019t believe I\u2019ve done it,\u201d new champion Al-Gendi told the UIPM official website following his victory. \u201cLast year I got silver at the U-19 World Championships and now I have gold, so it\u2019s a huge day for me. I think my fencing has been improving very well and it gave me self-confidence. I\u2019m so excited to be going to the Youth Olympic Games. My team deserved this success because they trained very well and very hard,\u201d said Al-Gendi who has competed in three senior World Cups.\nInevitably, Egypt won team gold ahead of silver medalists Hungary, with France completing the podium.\n\u201cToday is really the greatest day of my life,\u201d said Egypt\u2019s Awad Sami, one of the sport\u2019s most experienced coaches. \u201cI\u2019ve been in the pentathlon for 37 years and I\u2019ve joined my team at so many different competitions but today was the biggest moment we ever had.\n\u201cFor the first time, Egypt has finished one, two and three in a competition, an amazing performance \u2013 really it was our day today,\u201d Sami added.\nEgypt secured their third gold medal as Abdel-Maqsoud and Ahmed Al-Gendi claimed victory in the mixed relay.\nThe silver medal went to France\u2019s Emma Riff and Ugo Fleurot while Russia\u2019s Luliia Sergeeva and Oleg Kupriyanov claimed bronze in the concluding final of the championships, which was contested by 20 nations.\nFor Egypt\u2019s Al-Gendi, it sealed a fantastic championships as he added a third title to his men\u2019s individual crown and team gold, and made sure his country matched the achievement of Italy in winning triple gold.\n\u201cI am so happy with this medal, and thank you to Ahmed. It was a great competition and thank you to the coaches. I have worked hard to be at this level now,\u201d Abdel-Maqsoud told UIPM media.\nTeammate Al-Gendi added: \u201cI think the best performance was our laser-run. I ran hard and we increased the gap from second place because of our running, and we are so happy about that. It\u2019s a very interesting event. I like to play the mixed relay and it increased my medals in this competition.\u201d\nIn the men\u2019s relay, the bronze medal went to 2017 champions Sweilam and Shaaban who showed great determination to deny Hungary (Csaba Bohm & Balint Katona) a prize for their efforts.",

        "raw_content": "I\u2019ve been saying all along, for the past few years, as I talk about sexual harassment, that when it comes down to it and when all the facts are brought out and into play, that we are going to have make some very tough decisions about people who we otherwise admire. And I think this is really something that we haven\u2019t come to terms with.\n- Anita Hill, Meet the Press, yesterday\nThis week's featured post is \"The Looming End of Net Neutrality (and why you should care)\".\nThis week everybody was talking about sexual abuse\nI have long admired Al Franken. Giant of the Senate is a fabulous book. I was rooting for Hillary to pick him as VP, and was looking forward to seeing him in 2020 presidential debates.\nShit, Al.\nA bunch of the debate these last two weeks has been about the accusations against Franken, which he has at least partially confessed to or admitted the possibility of. And the question has been: Should he resign? Since then, stuff has come out about Rep. John Conyers, who so far is keeping his House seat, but stepping down from an important committee assignment.\nI still haven't figured out what I think about all this. On one side, it would be simple and idealistic for the Democratic Party to pitch itself as the party with zero tolerance for any behavior that disrespects women. On the other, I don't think it is going to be that simple, no matter what Franken and Conyers do. If them resigning meant that the Democratic role in the scandal would be over, and we could move forward as the Party of Righteousness, it would probably be worth it. But I don't think that's the choice.\nI suspect we're a lot closer to the beginning of this scandal than the end. If everything were known about everybody, we might not just be talking about Franken and Conyers and Roy Moore and Donald Trump, we might be talking about hundreds of men with various degrees of political power, from Congress to the administration to state governments. If the Democrats all resign and the Republicans don't, the short-term balance of power could shift in an anti-woman direction.\nI expect those charges to appear in all degrees of seriousness and credibility. In general, I imagine three levels of seriousness:\nforgivable, requiring an apology and the acceptance of some kind of public penalty or humiliation,\nunforgivable, requiring resignation.\nand three levels of credibility\nunlikely claims\ncredible claims\nclaims so well supported that a denial is not credible.\nWherever you think the boundaries between those levels should go, there's going to be some case that challenges it. We need to think this through both well and fast, a combination that very seldom happens.\nRoy Moore is pretty close to denial-is-not-credible territory. Slate's William Saletan does the details, but the gist is that on one issue after another, Moore's accusers have provided supporting evidence or testimony, while Moore hasn't (or has put forward objections that turn out to be false, such as claiming the restaurant where he was supposed to have met one of the accusers didn't exist at the time). Moore's denials are often not quite denials, and he hasn't been willing to submit to follow-up questions from anyone this side of Sean Hannity.\nThe idea that all these girls, their mothers, their sisters, and their friends began coordinating a massive lie decades ago\u2014and somehow conspired to keep it quiet through Moore\u2019s many previous political campaigns, saving it for a special Senate election in 2017\u2014is completely preposterous.\nI could imagine the truth being shifted somewhat from accusers' version: maybe he was marginally more deferential and less grabby than they remember him, for example. But the overall picture of a creepy 30-something guy trying to get it on with girls half his age -- that's looking pretty solid.\nThe House has passed its version and the Senate is still working on its own. As with ObamaCare, it will take three Republican defections to kill a bill. This time, it looks like Lisa Murkowski won't be one of them. But there might be a defection from deficit hawks like Jeff Flake or Bob Corker. (The CBO expects the package to add $1.4 trillion to the national debt over 10 years, even after taking growth effects into account.)\nThe claims that the tax cuts will unleash massive economic growth are not catching on outside partisan Republican circles. A University of Chicago survey of 42 top economists found only 1 who believed that GDP would be substantially higher a decade after passing the tax cut than it would have been under the status quo.\nOne bit of sleight-of-hand in the Senate bill: They get around the limits on how much revenue the plan can lose by time-limiting the tax breaks on individuals, while writing the business benefits as permanent. The argument is that future Congresses won't really let those time limits expire, so they both count and don't count, depending on the scenario. Paul Krugman refers to this as \"Schroedinger\u2019s Tax Hike\". The graph takes the Republican bill as written, without assuming that a future Congress will amend it.\nand Trump/Russia\nMike Flynn's lawyers are no longer cooperating with Trump's lawyers. This could signal that Flynn is negotiating his own deal with Robert Mueller.\nRemember the sanctions-against-Russia bill that Congress passed and Trump signed in August? Trump didn't like it, but there was no point in vetoing it because it passed by such huge margins. So instead the administration has been slow-rolling it. There was an October 1 deadline for releasing guidance on how it would implement the sanctions. That was ignored, and guidance finally came out 26 days later. Now new deadlines are looming, and Congress is wondering whether they'll be met or not, and what they can do about it if Trump just decides to ignore the law he signed.\nAnother Russia-related news story is that we finally have details about that May 10 meeting Trump had with the Russian ambassador in the Oval Office, the one where he gave away sensitive intelligence we had gotten from the Israelis. But it wasn't like nobody could have seen this coming:\nIt was against this reassuring backdrop of recent successes and shared history, an Israeli source told Vanity Fair, that a small group of Mossad officers and other Israeli intelligence officials took their seats in a Langley conference room on a January morning just weeks before the inauguration of Donald Trump. The meeting proceeded uneventfully; updates on a variety of ongoing classified operations were dutifully shared. It was only as the meeting was about to break up that an American spymaster solemnly announced there was one more thing: American intelligence agencies had come to believe that Russian president Vladimir Putin had \u201cleverages of pressure\u201d over Trump, he declared without offering further specifics, according to a report in the Israeli press. Israel, the American officials continued, should \u201cbe careful\u201d after January 20\u2014the date of Trump\u2019s inauguration. It was possible that sensitive information shared with the White House and the National Security Council could be leaked to the Russians.\nIt's almost like Trump doesn't know where his real loyalties lie.\nThis is how 2016 election coverage looked from the Russian side:\nBut the Russian opposition finds the Trump/Russia story very annoying.\n\u201cThe Kremlin is of course very proud of this whole Russian interference story. It shows they are not just a group of old K.G.B. guys with no understanding of digital but an almighty force from a James Bond saga,\u201d Mr. Volkov said in a telephone interview. \u201cThis image is very bad for us. Putin is not a master geopolitical genius.\u201d\nbut other ominous things are happening with less fanfare\nThe FCC is proposing to abandon net neutrality. I cover this in the featured post.\nThe Trump administration is blocking one corporate consolidation: the AT&T/Time Warner merger. This is very out of character, and \"a major shift in antitrust policy from previous administrations\", so you have to wonder if getting back at CNN (a Time Warner property) figures in this somewhere. If so, that would have very ominous implications for media freedom to criticize the administration.\nThose estimates of how fast sea level will rise are based on a model of how the big glaciers will melt. But what if their internal dynamics causes pieces to break off and melt much faster?\nAfter the 2010 census, Republicans advanced the art of gerrymandering to new levels, creating a situation where Democrats have to win by 7-8% nationally in order to have a chance to have a House majority. In some state legislatures, the Republican advantage is even larger.\nBut this time, Trump seems to be planning to build an unfair advantage into the census itself. It's hard to know what else to make of his pick for the #2 spot at the Census Bureau, who is both unqualified and has said ominous things. He is one of the few people who will publicly defend gerrymandering, and has written a book subtitled \"Why Competitive Elections are Bad for America.\"\nThe appointment is even trickier than it looks: There is no head of the Census Bureau, so the new guy would be running things. And he'd be running things without having gone through Senate confirmation, as a new director would have to do.\nAs for the kinds of tricks that might be in store:\nFor instance, there are concerns that Trump may issue an executive order requiring the 2020 Census to include a question about citizenship, which could result in fewer responses from minority and immigration populations, ultimately leading to their underrepresentation in the Census.\nThe Supreme Court will hear arguments on the Masterpiece Cakeshop case (in which a baker refused to sell a same-sex couple a wedding cake) on December 5. I've previously given my opinion on this case: I think the baker should lose, because it's a discrimination case, not a free-speech case. The baker didn't object to some symbol or message the couple wanted him to put on the cake, he objected to selling any wedding cake to a same-sex couple, even one indistinguishable from a cake he would sell to an opposite-sex couple.\nIf the Court would decide in the baker's favor (as no lower court has), the majority opinion would have to argue that anti-gay discrimination is fundamentally different from, say, anti-black or anti-Jewish discrimination, which some religion might also mandate. Otherwise it would insert a religious loophole into all anti-discrimination laws. An ACLU attorney points out:\nThere\u2019s nothing in the theories that are being presented by the bakery in this case, or other parties in other cases, that would limit these arguments to LGBT couples in this very context.\nTwo presidential Thanksgiving messages make \"a painful contrast\", says Matt Yglesias. Obama tweets a charming picture of his family, and wishes you a day \"full of joy and gratitude\". Trump brags about his dubious accomplishments, because that's what he does on any occasion.\nOne of the silliest things to grab headlines this week was Trump's tweet-war with Lavar Ball, father of one of the UCLA basketball players recently arrested for shoplifting in China (and then released). Greg Sargent nailed it:\nTrump's rage-tweets about LaVar Ball are part of a pattern. Trump regularly attacks high-profile African Americans to feed his supporters' belief that the system is rigged for minorities.\nTrump has often gone after black athletes: Colin Kaepernick, Steph Curry, Marshawn Lynch, and others. It isn't just that they said bad things about him first. San Antonio Spurs Coach Gregg Popovich has said worse things about Trump without inciting him, and he's done it more than once. So has Golden State Warriors Coach Steve Kerr. But they're white guys; going to war with them wouldn't rile up Trump's base.\nAnd it's not just sports. Trump didn't just go after a gold-star family and a war widow, he went after a Muslim gold-star family and a black war widow. It may seem like all the usual norms of presidential behavior are out the window, but not if you're a white guy. For the most part, white guys still get the respect all citizens deserve.\nWhile we're on this subject, the stereotype of the ungrateful Negro (which Trump has invoked both against Ball and against the black football players protesting during the national anthem) has a long history. In the Slavery Era, blacks were supposed to be grateful that whites had civilized them and brought them to Christianity. And then whites died to free blacks from the slavery that whites had condemned them to. Post-slavery, whites provided low-paying, dangerous jobs for blacks, and generously treated some of them like human beings (as long as they behaved themselves). Since the Great Society, white taxes have paid the lion's share of various forms of government assistance that help blacks survive in an economic system rigged against them. So why aren't they grateful?\nOn Thanksgiving, Trump lamented on Twitter that in the NFL \"The Commissioner has lost control of the hemorrhaging league. Players are the boss!\" And Marc Faletti summed up how I feel about that: \"If the league were ever actually owned by the people who give their bodies and brains to the sport, that would be maybe the first true justice in American sports history.\" When the major sports leagues were starting out, owners were actual entrepreneurs and promoters. Today, however, they are just parasites. The players are the sport.\nand let's close with something peaceful\nSpend some time watching this guy balance rocks in a stream.",

        "raw_content": "Welcome to Wesleyan Heritage Publishing\nClassic Wesleyan Writings on CD\nWe welcome you to explore our web site and find out more about us. Visit our store and check out our fine selection of CD's. They are all excellent for Bible Study. Sunday school teachers, ministers, writers, serious students of God's Word will all benefit by the commentaries, and exposition of God's Word by the Godly men whose writings have been digitized for ease of reading, searching, and copy/pasting into your favorite word processor.\nWe have processed these books through various methods of scanning, typing, proof-reading, editing, formatting, and processing into PDF files for use by Adobe Acrobat Reader. Although our CD's include an older version of Adobe Acrobat Reader you should download and install the latest version from www.adobe.com for use with your new computer's operating system. (The PDF reader that is built into some internet browsers and word processors often do not have all the functionality of the free Adobe Reader).\nMost of our books have resulted from dedicated people who have a desire to see good Christian books, research material, and other theological works available to a wider audience than is generally possible with the printed page. Many of the books are out of print and are not readily available. Some are rare or very expensive and CD distribution is a relatively inexpensive method of making many books available at a reasonable price.\nWesleyan Heritage Publishing started more than 25 years ago when Sulu Kelley got his first copy of \"Online Bible\" and decided to create Wesleyan/Arminian notes for it.\nJohn Wesley's Notes on the Bible and Adam Clarke's Commentary as well as J. Agar Beet's Commentaries were the result of Sulu Kelly's early work. (Sulu noted that most copies of John Wesley's Notes on the Internet are derivatives of his original work as are copies of his work on Adam Clarke's Commentary.)\nThis was followed by the publication of the Notes of John Wesley, Adam Clarke's Commentary and J. Agar Beet's Commentaries for the Online Bible on CD with about 150 of the best conservative holiness writings available in digital format at the time. These were originally provided by Rev. Duane Maxey, who also published his own DVD and are available from his web site at http://www.icehouse.net/hdm\nSince thene there have been several additional releases of the \"Wesleyan Heritage Library\" CD (currently the Fourth Edition with over 500 books) and the latest CD in co-operation with Ages Software \"The Wesleyan Heritage Collection\".\nIn 2003 Sulu also brought out another major work \"Thomas Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible\" including the original scans of the material for use in reference works, by allowing the material to be searched, copy/pasted, and then cross checked against the originals, and bibliographic data created to match the original work. This should be very helpful to Writers and Researchers, and it should save wear and tear on Archival Books in libraries. As well it has made this material available at a moderate cost to every serious Bible Scholar.\nAfter Sulu went home to be with his Lord in March of 2007 his wife, Barbara, who had been his partner in the ministry continued to distribute the Wesleyan Heritage material. In December of 2008 Barbara felt that she should spend more time with her friends and family (she loves traveling and visiting panda exhibits and zoos).\nIn February of 2009 Barbara passed the torch to Dave and Eleanor Pohl who distribute Wesleyan Heritage Publishing CDs along with the Online Bible program on their website www.onlinebible.us And so the legacy continues.\nThe Wesleyan Heritage Library - A collection of Wesleyan/Arminian writers including Wesley, Clarke, Benson, Sutcliffe, Godbey, Beet, Fletcher, Watson, Asbury, Tyerman, Telford, Steele, Bounds, Wood, etc. - Read more about The Wesleyan Heritage Library.\nThe Wesleyan Heritage Collection - A sundry collection of somewhat rare, sometimes difficult to find, and generally out of print reference books of the Wesleyan/Arminian viewpoint. The CD includes works by Francis Asbury, Joseph Benson, John Fletcher, Richard Watson, Adam Clarke, John Wesley and many others. Read more about The Wesleyan Heritage Collection.\nThomas Coke Commentary - This powerful commentary by one of American Methodism's founders, is once again available more than two hundred years after it's first publication. The two CD set containsall six volumes of the Old & New Testaments, including Ancillary data and Appendix to Revelation. Read more about Thomas Coke's Commentary on CD.\nOver the years Wesleyan Heritage Publishing has been supported by Edward and Angela Cook who sell our CDs along with many great christian books on their web site http://www.kingsleypress.com please check them out.",

        "raw_content": "My wife and I visited Taipei, Taiwan recently on the first leg of a three stop tour of Asia. Since I have family there, I was able to stay with them and save some money on accommodations.\nHowever, in the past I have stayed at an airbnb in Taipei, which was a bit cramped but manageable. If you go that route, make sure the host can send you measurements since the definition of accessibility is different in Asia than in the US. I have also tried to find an accessible hotel in the past, and the language may be a barrier for those that don\u2019t speak Mandarin. Also many rooms have thresholds or half-steps, so make sure to ask about that.\nThe accessibility of streets is manageable, but not ideal. For example, there may or may not be curb cuts, and even if there are, they may be very steep / slightly dangerous. Also, sidewalks seem to have variable heights, i.e they are not flat or level for very long in the same block. One of the positives for Taipei is that the subway system is accessible and goes pretty much everywhere. You can fairly easily find a bathroom by going to the subway, and there is usually also an accessible stall there. Some subway stops do not have an elevator, but have a robotic chair that you can board to climb stairs.\nIn terms of shopping, you can visit the mainstream malls like Taipei 101 for high end goods, or the night markets (Shilin, Shida, etc) for street food and more budget conscious shopping. Another good shopping district is Ximending, which is near a subway stop. It was a little hard to find a bathroom there, so use the one in the subway or at a nearby hotel. Also, there is a huge underground mall near the Taipei main rail station, where you can easily spend a day looking around.\nIf you want to get out of Taipei, Danshui northwest of the city can be a nice place to visit. It is a wharf area that can be reached by taking the MRT; there\u2019s plenty of shopping and street food there.\nWe also spent time at national museums, like the Sun Yat Sun & Chiang Kai Shek memorials, which can take a day to visit. On a previous trip, we went to the National Palace Museum, which is world famous for having a huge collection of Chinese artifacts, many of them taken from China by Chiang Kai-shek when he fled to Taiwan. You could easily spend a day or two there, if you are interested in museums.\nOf course there is also plenty to eat, and if you\u2019re a foodie, you won\u2019t leave Taiwan disappointed!",

        "raw_content": "Almost two months since receiving his MBE Trevor Weeks attended the prestigious awards after being nominated in the first ever Animal Welfare Award run by the BBC local radio. Virginia McKenna presented the Animal Welfare Award to Trevor towards the end of the evening. Virginia McKenna is best remembered for her 1966 role as Joy Adamson in the true-life film Born Free for which she received a nomination for a Golden Globe. Bill Travers, her real life husband, co-starred with her, portraying conservationist George Adamson, and the experience led them to become active supporters for wild animal rights and the protection of their natural habitat. Virginia McKenna appeared in An Elephant Called Slowly, a travelogue of what it was like years ago in Kenya. The film features her close friend conservationist George Adamson and also elephants Eleanor (brought up by conservationist Daphne Sheldrick) and young Pole Pole. The subsequent premature death of Pole Pole in London Zoo lead to Virginia McKenna and her husband launching the Zoo Check Campaign in 1984 and to establishing the \"Born Free Foundation\" in 1991.\nBefore reading out the nominations for the Animal Welfare Award she told everyone \"I have found this evening a most inspirational occasion. We are absolutely bombarded with bad news, sad news, shocking news and in this room tonight, is nothing but hope and positive thought\".\nVirginia then read out the nominations which included dedicated volunteer Shirley Miller who has helped both Rogers Wildlife Rescue and East Sussex WRAS over the past 15 years or more, before announcing WRAS's Trevor Weeks as the winner.\nTrevor told a crowded round \"There are millions of wildlife animals every year who have to be euthanized because there just aren't enough wildlife organisation capable of dealing with the workload of sick, injured and orphaned wildlife. East Sussex is luckier than most counties in having people like Shirley Miller [also nominated for and present at the awards] working with Rogers Wildlife Rescue, Folly Wildlife Rescue, WRAS and the RSPCA centre at Hastings who are able to take in wildlife, but it still isn't enough. There is a chronic shortage of funds available for this type of work in the UK. I am so pleased that BBC Radio Sussex and Surrey have seen the need to have a dedicated award for Animal Welfare.\"\nDuring the awards Trevor was juggling answering the charities rescue phone line. The latter half of the evening saw two road casualty owls and a road casualty fox in need of help, which ambulances responded to swiftly.\nVirginia McKenna told Trevor \"I was so pleased for you, and you must send me more information about the work you do and I would love to come and visit at some point.\"\n\u00ab Become a Hedgehog Helper!

        "raw_content": "\u201cThis is the moment when people start to realize that global warming is not a problem for future generations, but for us now.\u201d\n\u2013 Johan Rockstr\u00f6m, Stockholm Resilience Center\nYou may have missed the incredible amount of recent headlines on climate change. The sheer volume of climate-change related stories that \u201ccrossed our desk\u201d within a 48-hour time period was stunning (to put it mildly). This news, however, that will have dramatic impact on our planet and the very existence of life as we know it, appears to be unable to break through the non-stop Orwellian speak that emanates from just about everywhere these days. To coin an old phrase, it appears we are fiddling while we literally are burning.\nThe one story that has penetrated the news cycle to some degree has been the reports on the wild fires in California, which are still causing havoc across the state. But California is not alone. Wild fires in the arctic circle, Canada, and the Pacific Northwest; Japan under sweltering heat; Europe recording temperatures never seen before. And anecdotal stories from friends and family about rain storms that stall causing downpours that dump 8-10 inches of rain at a time.\nWe were so astonished at the never-ending climate change stories in a two-day period that we thought we would share a digest of some of the headlines we saw\u2026ICYMI.\nWildfire Smoke Is Smothering the US\u2014Even Where You Don\u2019t Expect It: \u201cAmerica is on fire \u2026 again. More than a million and a half acres are burning in 15 states, from Arizona to Alaska. More than 3,000 firefighters are working to contain the Mendocino Complex Fire 100 miles north of San Francisco, now the largest in California history, and over the weekend, lightning strikes sparked dozens of new wildfires across the state of Washington\u2026\n\u201c\u2026While wildfires are geographically limited by nearby fuel sources, wildfire smoke goes wherever the wind takes it. Carried on eastward-flowing air currents, dangerous particulate matter from wildfires is increasingly smothering large swathes of the US, causing health scares wherever these air pollution spikes hit. Welcome to the United States of Smoke.\n\u201c\u2026But other scientists have found evidence that the wildfire smoke public health problem is only going to get worse as the west gets hotter and drier. A 2016 study predicts that climate change will drive almost 60 percent more \u201csmoke waves\u201d\u2014or multiple days of high particulate pollution from wildfires\u2014across much of the US by 2050.\u201d\nNational Geographic reports: Exclusive: Some Arctic Ground No Longer Freezing\u2014Even in Winter: \u201cEvery winter across the Arctic, the top few inches or feet of soil and rich plant matter freezes up before thawing again in summer. Beneath this active layer of ground extending hundreds of feet deeper sits continuously frozen earth called permafrost, which, in places, has stayed frozen for millennia.\n\u201cBut in a region where temperatures can dip to 40 degrees below zero Fahrenheit, unusually high snowfall this year worked like a blanket, trapping excess heat in the ground. They found sections 30 inches deep\u2014soils that typically freeze before Christmas\u2014that had stayed damp and mushy all winter. For the first time in memory, ground that insulates deep Arctic permafrost simply did not freeze in winter\u2026some Arctic experts are weighing a troubling question: Could a thaw of permafrost begin decades sooner than many people expect in some of the Arctic\u2019s coldest, most carbon-rich regions, releasing trapped greenhouse gases that could accelerate human-caused climate change?\u201d\nCommon Dreams provides information on the report: What Lies Beneath: The Understatement of Existential Climate Risk: In it, the report released Monday\u2026 argues that the reticence of the world\u2019s scientific community\u2014trapped in otherwise healthy habits of caution and due diligence\u2014to downplay the potentially irreversible and cataclysmic impacts of climate change is itself a threat that should no longer be tolerated if humanity is to be motivated to make the rapid and far-reaching transition away from fossil fuels and other emissions-generating industries.\nIn the new report\u2014titled What Lies Beneath: The Understatement of Existential Climate Risk authors David Splatt and Ian Dunlop, researchers with the National Centre for Climate Restoration (Breakthrough), an independent think tank based in Australia, argue that the existential threats posed by the climate crisis have still not penetrated the collective psyche of humanity and that world leaders, even those demanding aggressive action, have not shown the kind of urgency or imagination that the scale of the pending catastrophe presents.\nCommon Dreams also carried \u2018Hothouse Earth\u2019 Co-Author Says \u2018People Will Look Back on 2018 as the Year When Climate Reality Hit\u2019 in which meteorologist Eric Holthaus said: \u201cYes, the prospect of runaway climate change is terrifying. But this dead world is not our destiny. It\u2019s entirely avoidable\u2026As the authors of the paper have argued in response to the coverage, implying otherwise is the same as giving up just as the fight gets tough.\u201d\nThe Washington Post reports on Sea level rise is eroding home value, and owners might not even know it. On a broad scale, the effect is subtle, the studies show. The sea has risen about eight inches since 1900, and the pace is accelerating, with three inches accumulating since 1993, according to a comprehensive federal climate report released last year. Scientists predict the oceans will rise an additional three to seven inches by 2030, and as much as 4.3 feet by 2100.\nAnd the pi\u00e8ce de r\u00e9sistance from Chris Hedges. Saying Goodbye to Planet Earth \u201cThis tiny span of time on a planet that is 4.5 billion years old is known as the Holocene Age. It now appears to be coming to an end with the refusal of our species to significantly curb the carbon emissions and pollutants that might cause human extinction.\u201d\nAnd this is but a handful of the stories. Climate change \u2013 the story we want to ignore and, in some cases, deny. And who can blame anyone for that? But denial and avoidance \u2013 in the end \u2013 will not make the science of climate change go away. Yes, we can all do our individual tasks to help as we can. But the crisis we face demands large-scale, global, governmental intervention. It\u2019s what government was designed to do and in decades past did. It\u2019s up to all of us to demand of every political candidate \u2013 from local to national elections \u2013 that climate action be a part of their top priorities.\nWe leave you with a quote we\u2019ve used before from social psychologist Diarmuid O\u2019Murchu, whose book Catching Up with Jesus: A Gospel Story for Our Time presents a unique way of looking at the interconnectedness of all living things. In it, he presents a Jesus of Nazareth who carries on a conversation directed at us in the 21st century. O\u2019Murchu ends the book with wisdom and a future vision as articulated by this Jesus.\n\u201cEverything lives on in a creative universe like ours\u2026And energy carries information, the cumulative wisdom of the ages\u2026My friends as you emerge from the oppressive power that has entrapped you, you will discover once more what intuitively you knew so well for thousands of years. This is a wise universe; ours is a wise earth\u2026So, why are you humans behaving in this strangely stubborn and unenlightened way\u2026Look around you and contemplate the wonder of all that exists in creation. Everything works in cooperative fashion as it is designed to do; and within that cooperative endeavor is a great deal of freedom and choice.\n\u201cIf you choose to destroy yourselves, I am not going to play the rescuing parent. You have got to grow up and become adults. There is no space for childish power games in my relational matrix\u2026Get into your hearts and see with the eyes of deeper vision. That is what will give you hope and meaning. And thereby you\u2019ll access the wisdom that will enable you to live differently\u2026Keep your attention on learning to relate rightly: with the cosmos, with the earth, with all creatures inhabiting creation, and all will be well.\n\u201cIt just annoys me that it is taking you so long to grow up and become cosmic, planetary adults. Meanwhile, I and my relational matrix will forgive you for being such pests \u2013 not to me, but to the earth and to your own kind! So come on folks, time is running short and Mother Earth is getting weary of all this adolescent belligerence. The hour is fast approaching when you will have to choose between life and extinction. The choice is yours.\u201d\nWe were so astonished at the never-ending climate change stories in a two-day period that we thought we would share a digest of some of the headlines we say\u2026ICYMI.\nI was surprised this morning when I saw \u201cThe British Clare Hollingworth Award\u201d account retweet a retweet of mine. (Boy, how news travels these days). The originator of this activity was the industrious David Sirota, the Senior Editor for Investigations at The International Business Times. Sirota is one of the last bastions \u2013 for those of us old enough to remember \u2013 of what real investigative journalism looked like.\nSirota had tweeted the following:\nThe team I work with is very small \u2014 just me and 3 reporters. We don\u2019t do hot takes. We do original reporting. Here\u2019s our work over just the last 12 days. I am proud of our team \u2014 we focus on breaking real news. These are stories you could find nowhere else. I am tired. Onward.\nI simply retweeted with the comment: This is the way #journalism used to be before #corporate takeover #ThankYouForYourService\nTo my surprise (twitter always finds a way to surprise me), a retweet came from the Clare Hollingworth Award as noted above. I had no idea who Clare Hollingworth was. No time like the present to learn.\nOne becomes more eager to discover who she was when the headline: The Correspondent Who Scooped the World pops up. In a day and age when women\u2019s voices are becoming stronger and the need for independent journalism has never been more acute, we are happy to pass along a bit of information on this incredible journalist and invite you to go deeper and find out more (see links below). It was even more amazing to learn Clare just recently died on January 10, 2017 \u2013 at the age of 105.\nIn the first week of her career at the British newspaper the Daily Telegraph in 1939, the then 27-year-old Hollingworth broke the news that World War II had started. The Telegraph later recalled:\nShe witnessed the outbreak of the Second World War on September 1, 1939 when, as a novice Daily Telegraph stringer, she was woken at her hotel in the Polish town of Katowice by the sound of anti-aircraft fire aimed at German bombers.\nOpening her window to hear the roar of bombers overhead, she rang the paper\u2019s Warsaw correspondent Hugh Carleton Greene; he was assured by a sleepy official at the foreign ministry that it must be an exercise because talks were still going on.\nNext she rang the second secretary at the embassy: \u201cThe war has begun.\u201d\n\u201cAre you sure, old girl?\u201d he asked.\n\u201cListen!\u201d she commanded, holding the receiver outside the window. \u201cCan\u2019t you hear it?\u201d\nIn the year leading up to the start of World War II, Hollingworth was in Poland arranging the evacuation of more than 3,500 political and Jewish refugees to Britain, earning herself the nickname \u201cthe Scarlet Pimpernel\u201d from Britain\u2019s press. Hollingworth had saved thousands of lives by regularly circumventing British immigration bureaucracy, which due to its heavy vetting process would have left many in the clutches of the Third Reich.\nIn a male-dominated profession in an era that witnessed women being pushed \u201cbehind the lines,\u201d she continued to report from nearly every European and African front during World War II, and she went on to cover the Algerian War (1954\u201362) and the Vietnam War (1954\u201375). In 1963, reporting for The Guardian, Hollingworth unmasked Kim Philby as a Soviet agent, and 10 years later she opened a Beijing bureau for the Telegraph.\nHer professional determination to dig out world news \u2013 from war-torn Europe in the 1940s to Mao\u2019s isolate China in the 1970s \u2013 was complimented with compassion for the sufferings of humanity. I dare say, where today in the corporate controlled gate-keeper world of today do we hear that?\nIt was said of Hollingworth at her 105th birthday celebration: \u201cClare is a prodigy, one of those extraordinary people who has not recorded history but helped to make it. She was a pioneer among women journalists, and among the first generation of women war correspondents, who proved that they needed no example from men either in reporting gifts or courage.\u201d\nToday we mourn the loss of independent journalism around the world perhaps best exemplified in the U.S. by the failure of a strong, impartial corps of journalists who allowed the joke of a 2016 presidential campaign to flourish. For the myriad of reasons given for an election cycle from hell, one cannot understate that one of the key reasons was the breakdown of a functioning, independent media. The failure of basic independent reporting \u2013 drowned out by the likes of corporate media giants such as The Washington Post, The New York Times, Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC gave us entertainment and gossip for the majority of the primaries and general election rather than the desperately needed reporting on issues that mattered. With strong independent journalism we would never have heard the term \u201cfake news.\u201d\nIn honor of Hollingworth\u2019s memory, we invite you to \u201cread more about it\u201d and recall a time when journalists brought us a far more honest view of what was happening on local, national, and international fronts.\nHer biography: Of Fortunes and War: Clare Hollingworth, first of the female war correspondents\nClare Hollingworth dies aged 105: Telegraph correspondent who broke the news of World War II passes away in Hong Kong.

David\u2019s twitter account is: @davidsirota\nA recent trip to Itasca State Park, in the great state of Minnesota, prompted many thoughts back to the days of the Civilian Conservation Corps, a federal government program started by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933 amid the worst times of the Great Depression. Positive CCC impacts fill this park at every turn, including the Welcome Center with its great exhibits and nod to history. Without the CCC, where would this park or thousands of other national and state parks be?\nThe Welcome Center at Itasca State Park provides visitors with a great history lesson on the CCC.\nCan\u2019t remember exactly what you learned in junior high history about the CCC? As our country once again faces the ravages of destruction to our natural resources and the incredible forces of climate change, what better time to reflect on when we had leadership and willing hands to build \u201chope for a nation.\u201d\nHere\u2019s a short refresher on FDR and the incredible work of the CCC.\nFDR established the CCC by executive order on April 5, 1933 shortly after his presidential inauguration in March. It came as no surprise that Roosevelt would focus on something that blended his love of nature with a program designed to put idle hands to work for the common good.\nRoosevelt grew up surrounded by outdoor activities, which generated a love of water, forestry, and ornithology. In 1912 as a New York state senator, some of his first legislation introduced centered on bills concerned with forestry and hunting and fishing regulations. In the 1920s, Roosevelt directed conservation camps for boy scouts. And Roosevelt\u2019s slim margin of victory for the New York governor\u2019s seat in 1928 is often credited to his outreach to upstate and rural districts. Some suggest that without farmers, riverkeepers and conservation-minded voters pushing Roosevelt, he probably wouldn\u2019t have been elected governor.\n\u201cThe forests are the lungs of our land,\u201d Roosevelt once said. And he referred to the CCC as not merely relief workers, but as an army of land healers. In his speech announcing the CCC, Roosevelt said:\n\u201cMore important, however than the material gains, will be the moral and spiritual values of such work. The overwhelming majority of unemployed Americans, who are now walking the streets and receiving private or public relief, would infinitely prefer to work. We can take a vast army of these unemployed out into healthful surroundings. We can eliminate to some extent at least the threat that enforced idleness brings to spiritual and moral stability.\u201d\nPine trees planted by the CCC in Itasca State Park bring joy to visitors today. A great conservation legacy.\nWithin three months of its creation, the Corps had enlisted nearly 250,000 young men. They were assigned to CCC camps around the nation. During its nine-year existence, the CCC employed nearly three million young men. It planted over two billion trees, fought forest fires, built trails, campgrounds, and reservoirs, and aided with soil conservation programs. The CCC became one of the New Deal\u2019s most popular and successful programs.\nThe CCC was considered to be the greatest peacetime mobilization ever of American youth. CCC workers were taught four basic skills:\nHow to cut firebreaks\nHow to control wildfires\nHow to protect wildlife\nThe CCC was responsible for the recreational building of the Shenandoah National Park as well as for the preservation of the Joshua trees in Southern California. CCC workers helped to stop shoreline erosion in the Carolinas, and every state in the nation benefited from their work. In Utah, for example, CCC projects included improving grazing conditions on rangelands, conserving water, controlling rodents and constructing hundreds of miles of fences and guardrails along large water diversion damns. The CCC was crucial to establishing the first state parks in Virginia, West Virginia, South Carolina, Mississippi, and New Mexico.\nThey built service roads, sewers, water and electrical systems, bridges, footpaths, restrooms, and new campgrounds. In Itasca State Park in Minnesota, for example, the CCC built the beach at the public swimming area by bringing in the sand (how in the 1930s does one bring in enough sand to create a beach?) and placing it on the ice covered waters in the middle of winter. Then when the ice melted in spring, the sand sank and created a beach still in use today.\nEleanor Roosevelt, greatly dissatisfied that women were being kept out of the CCC, fought mightily for female workers to be part of the CCC. But only 8,500 women participated in the program from 1933-1942, compared to the nearly three million men. Similarly, Native Americans and African America workers were included, but at disproportionate numbers.\nAs the U.S. moved into wartime activation in the 1940s, the CCC camps came to a close with little fanfare. Yet the work done by the CCC workers in public forests and parks remained as a proud reminder of what we can do when we pull together for the betterment of our species and the world in which we live.\nEven FDR\u2019s CCC alone cannot fix the planetary environmental crisis we face today. We were warned decades ago about the ravages such as Hurricane Harvey that awaited us \u2013 and we chose to ignore them. But by remembering the past efforts of those like the young men and women of the CCC, we can find our own story to create for the 21st century protection and enrichments of our lands.\nWe do not have to sit idly by as we watch what is going now with the White House\u2019s efforts, led by Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke, to reduce the size of our national parks and open them for mining and drilling in Utah and Nevada. Nevada Senator Martin Heinrich recently urged rejection of this plan, noting, \u201cThese national monuments were the culmination of decades of advocacy from a broad coalition of local businesses, sportsmen, tribal and Hispanic leaders, veterans, faith leaders, and many other community members across New Mexico who have long recognized the national treasures in their backyards and knew they should be conserved for future generations to enjoy.\u201d\nHunters can play an active part to help preserve our land. In a recent article bemoaning the pheasant-hunting outlook in South Dakota it was noted: \u201cSouth Dakota\u2019s biggest challenge to remain a mecca for visiting ring-neck hunters is to halt conversion of grassland into cropland. A study found 1.84 million acres or about 37 percent of the grassland pheasant habitat in the state were lost primarily to conversion to cropland from 2006 to 2012.\u201d\nTake a look for example what they are doing in London. Planting trees, not only good for the environment, but good also for the economy.\nWhat would a CCC look like in the 21st century? Different of course, but the core elements would remain the same. It would teach us the importance of conservation; our inter-contentedness to all living things; a respect for nature.\nWe have seen great outpouring of our generosity of spirit to help those in need after the ravages of Hurricane Harvey. But there is another proactive way we can help our fellow citizens. Pay attention, fight for the environment, and tell the stories of the past to remind people that yes, when we come together for the common good, we do great things. We owe it to FDR and the CCC to keep the flame of hope alive in the 21st century.\nListen to a brief recording of FDR\u2019s CCC speech:\nA Great Resource For Finding Out More\nIn addition to making sure you read brochures and displays at your state and national parks about the great work done by the CCC, we encourage you to pick up New York Times\u2019 best selling author Douglas Brinkley\u2019s tome, Rightful Heritage: Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Land of America.\nThe book focuses on FDR\u2019s great love for the natural world, which started in his youth and followed throughout his political career. Wildlife restoration, emphasis on the national parks, soil conservation, migratory bird protection, hunting and fishing conservation \u2013 and dare we forget the duck stamp. All of these are FDR\u2019s conservation and ecology legacy.\nIt covers more than just the CCC (although the book serves as a great chronicle of this important program). Described as an \u201cepic chronicle,\u201d Rightful Heritage presents a unique portrait of FDR and \u201cilluminates the tension between business and nature \u2013 exploiting our natural resources and conserving them.\u201d\nA great read for anyone interesting in \u201clearning more about it.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Home > Dog Training > Be The Pack Leader\nBy Randy on September 19, 2017\nThis article will discuss whether or not you need to be the pack leader in your dog\u2019s life. Should you smack your dog and pound on your chest so that you become the top dog? The answer will change the relationship between you and your dog forever.\nThe fact is that dogs are pack animals. That will never change. It has always been that way and will continue to be that way. Most importantly, it works! The leader of the pack is the decision maker and the ones that follow do just that \u2013 follow the pack leader. This is very simple behavior.\nDogs have descended from wolves and wolves are pack animals. What most dog owners don\u2019t know is that you forma pack with your dog or dogs in your home. Even your children or a cat can become part of the pack in your home. The simple fact is that your dog sees every member as a member of the pack. Your dog will also see that there is a leader who makes all the decisions.\nThere are dogs in the world who are just happy pleasing their owner. These dogs are the ones that are easy to train although the proud owner sometimes may take all the credit for such a well behaved dog. This has nothing to do with how great the owner is so don\u2019t get jealous if your dog causes you so many problems. There are dogs that are easier to train than other dogs. The owners sometimes go around preaching to other dog owners what to do since they feel they have mastered dog training. The reality is that they just own a very easy dog that loves to please.\nOn the other hand, your difficult dog needs to be very clear about the messages you send him or her. Smart, driven dogs are not easy to train especially if you don\u2019t have a clue about what you are doing. The big secret to training a difficult dog is to make sure that YOU are the pack leader in your house. That is the only way your dog will listen to you. Also, be certain that whether your dog is difficult or not, it doesn\u2019t have anything to do with the breed of dog. It has everything to do with personality and character. This is only discovered when the dog is actually in your home which is a bit risky.\nIf you are struggling with your dog and you find yourself trying to bribe your dog with treats all the time, then it is probably certain that your dog does not think of you as the pack leader. If this is the case, the very first thing you need to do is to become the pack leader!\nThe most important thing about the pack leader is that he or she is very calm and always consistent. You want to be fair and firm. Never shout or scream and never hurt your dog by smacking him. That is a bad approach that is outdated. You can win your dog over by being relaxed and calm. Your dog will not fear you and will actually choose you as the pack leader. When you learn how your dog sees the world, it is easy to adjust your behavior and communication in a way your dog will understand. The last thing we want to do is apply human psychology to the way we train our dogs. We evolved from primates and dogs evolved from wolves \u2013 very different species indeed.\nAs soon as you understand where your dog is coming from, you will realize that there is no need for fear or aggression when training your dog. Again, if you are having problems with your dog, than it is very likely that your dog does not see you as the pack leader.\nTo learn more about becoming the pack leader: Click here for Doggy Dan \u2013 The Online Dog Trainer.",

        "raw_content": "Experimental Evaluation of Dynamic LSA Operation in Live 3GPP LTE System\nExperimental evaluation of dynamic LSA-compatible spectrum management framework in live 3GPP LTE system (700 MHz band). The main goal was to demonstrate how the principles of dynamic LSA could be implemented in a real-world commercial deployment.\nToday, the research community together with the Standards Developing Organizations (SDOs) have already recognized the very promising potential of the LSA framework. Indeed, LSA comes particularly helpful to promptly improve the capacity and coverage of Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) as well as to support novel spectrum-hungry applications and services based on e.g., high-definition holography or virtual/augmented reality. In light of this, the Conference Europeenne des Postes et des Telecommunications (CEPT) had established two project teams (PT52 and PT53) to ensure that there are no barriers to the LSA adoption in 2.3\u20132.4 GHz bands from a regulatory perspective, while European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) has already outlined the LSA system architecture and released the respective technical specifications. In the United States, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has introduced a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) along the lines of shared access in 3.5 GHz band that is similar in the spirit to the LSA concept.\nHowever, the achievable QoS levels and the corresponding service reliability within the LSA framework are not nearly well-understood and more knowledge on these should become essential for any further development of the LSA-related specifications. To bridge this glaring gap, our team, composed of researchers and engineers from Brno University of Technology (Czech Republic), Tampere University of Technology (Finland), RUDN University (Russia) and YL-Verkot (Finland), has committed to comprehensively understand the limits of dynamic LSA operation by implementing a practical trial in a live cellular system. To this end, we have completed a systematic evaluation of the LSA-compliant spectrum sharing technology in our own 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) testbed.\nThe main goal behind our trial is to demonstrate how the principles of dynamic LSA-compatible spectrum sharing could be implemented in a real-world, commercial-grade 3GPP LTE network.\nThe trial is summarized in the paper: P. Masek et al., \"Experimental Evaluation of Dynamic Licensed Shared Access Operation in Live 3GPP LTE System,\" 2016 IEEE Global Communications Conference (GLOBECOM), Washington, DC, 2016, pp. 1-6.

        "raw_content": "Mike Siroky's SEC/NCAA Report: A Balanced Final Four But The End For Tennessee\nWith Tennessee losing an NCAA Regional for the second straight elimination season to Maryland, 58-48, on Monday night, it left the seeding committee in OK mode, all four top seeds advancing and little shown to suggest anyone can stop UConn from another title.\nAs we first wrote, UConn also has enough playing talent for next season as well.\nBesides that, the three national conferences \u2013 Southeastern, Big Ten and Atlantic Coast \u2013 are all represented.\nWhen all was done and said, Tennessee finished right where the national AP poll had them at the start, fifth in the nation.\nThey finished their Elite Game hitting one of their final 11 shots; Maryland needed only to hit free throws to put it away.\nIn the final game, according to coach Holly Warlick, \u201cWe just wore out Just congratulations to Maryland.\u201d\nAs she exits college, senior Cierra Burdick took pride in the defense, holding a team averaging 80 to 58.\n\u201cYou know, I think we did well on the defensive side of things,\u201d she said. \u201cThey're a team that averages 80 plus points. That's something they lay their hat on is pushing the tempo and running every single possession.\n\u201cSo I think we did a decent job on that end of the floor. But we couldn't get stops when we needed them in the crunch time and on the offensive end we just couldn't get in a flow. We couldn't get baskets to drop.\n\u201c I don't know. The ball just wouldn't drop. We let the ball get stuck in our hands a couple times and I had a lot of turnovers. Just couldn't get in a flow.\u201d\nIndeed Tennessee only had 21 points at the half, the third-worst start this season.\nMaryland had 22, its worst.\nDespite all that, Burdick did have the last real shot of the game, an attempted 3 which would have tied it with 42 seconds left. Maryland hit 7-of-8 free throws in the final minute.\nSpeaking of free throws Tennessee was sent to the line just once.\nA game after hitting 21-of-22 they were 0-of-1.\nWarlick did the smart thing and declined to comment on that.\nIt is another NCAA tournament record though not one likely to make the media guide.\nUT was outstandingly bad from distance. Burdick\u2019s missed 3 left the team 4-of-22 on 3s. And there was that 1-of-11 from the field to close the game.\n\u201cI don't know what was going through my mind,\u201d Burdick said of that final career shot. \u201cI just knew we were down three. Looking back on it, I probably should have driven to the basket. So I didn't play well for my team tonight and if I could take it back, I would.\u201d\nWarlick said her four graduating seniors \u2013 everyone who plays four years at UT graduates \u2013 are \u201c. . . Just outstanding young women. Their academics are, don't have to worry about them academically. They do a lot in the community. So, they're just solid kids. They're the type of kids we want at Tennessee.\n\u201cThey were thrown into situations when they were very young, and they had to deal with a lot of things. And I think they have just handled everything that's been thrown at them.\n\"And they have got great character outside of being great basketball players.\n\u201cSo, gosh, from that standpoint, I know we'll miss their athletic being on the basketball team, but just what they stand for off the court.\u201d\n\u201c It was a physical game and we had our chances.\n\u201cAnd this team, I mean, we just had to overcome a lot of obstacles and this team has really hung together and they're a very close knit team and just really, really proud of them.\n\u201cYou got to go back to work and you got to go back to work we'll take some time off and then we'll go back to work.\n\u201cThat's what you do. There's only going to be one team, one set of players, one set of coaches that are going to be happy next week. Just one.\n\u201cSo, we're not going to stop saying that's our goal, because it is. We're just going to continue to try to get better and just try to keep pushing forward and try to stay healthy and reach our goal as I think we can.\u201d\nWe were the only reporting group in America to pick UT to win the regular-season in the Southeastern Conference. They tied with South Carolina in the old-school race, the entirety of the season, then SC broke the tie in the regular season escape.\nThe same will happen in the coming season. UT and SC were the only conference teams to go undefeated at home. The rematch in the next regular season is at UT.\nSo UT was back to a No. 2 and got the best draw by being scheduled against the last of the No. 1s.\nA late-season career-ending ACL tear to team leader in scoring and heart, Izzy Harrison realistically doomed any chance of a national title.\nIt would also have been a tough go by being in the bracket opposite UConn in the national semifinals.\nWarlick has brought her first three teams to the Sweet 16 and this one to the Elite Eight.\nAs a measure of respect, simply by inheriting a team from a legend and being in the most-competitive conference in the land, those accomplishments are merely the expected ones.\nIn any other conference, there would be more institution support and pay raises.\nInstead, she is in a firestorm waiting for Pat Head Summitt\u2019s long shadow to extend as she finishes her battle against early-onset Alzheimer\u2019s and a university which will end the Lady Vol brand (already for basketball only) when that happens.\nIn case anyone doubts Lady Vols could last past Summitt\u2019s existence, remember the first person to wear a Lady Vol uniform was a lone track NCAA middle distance runner and the first women\u2019s team to win an NCAA national title was outdoor track and field.\nSo it is not even historically tied into hoops.\nThe tradition does cut both ways. Already on campus and working with the team all season is 6-1 All-American point guard transfer Diamond Deshield and 6-6 redshirt center Mercedes Russell.\nTennessee is the only university to list these redshirts on their NCAA playoff roster this season, even though they obviously would not play.\nThey might have made a difference in the finale.\nRussell endeared herself to her teammates in this playoff run when her family hosted the team at Spokane. They are from Springfield, Oregon.\nShe had corrective surgery in both feet.\nAs a rookie, she played in every game and was the fourth-leading rebounder (5.0.) and seventh-best scorer (6.3), averaging 18.5 minutes.\nShe hit double figures nine times and had 10 or more rebounds twice, while making 60 percent of her shots in the first 18 games. She was 6-of-8 from the field against Georgia Tech, and 2-of-2 from the free throw line.\nIn the Lady Vols\u2019 SEC tournament over Texas A&M, she was 4-of-4 from the field and 3-of-3 from the line, with six rebounds and matched that against Missouri.\nOnce the NCAA playoffs began, she led UT in the opener scoring, 5-of-6 from the field and 2-of-2 from the free throw line. She shot 77.8 percent from the field in that NCAA run.\nDeShields averaged 18 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.7 steals per game as the national consensus freshmen player of the year, the first time a UConn rookie did not win in several seasons.\nShe was an honorable mention All-American by AP and the WBCA.\nIt is not clear if she qualifies for league rookie of the year competition.\nFor comparison\u2019s sake, any player in his first year of Major League Baseball is eligible irregardless of age or play in another country\u2019s game.\nHer freshman records in the original conference include All-ACC First Team and All-Freshman Team after setting four ACC freshman marks, including most points (648), field goals (248), field goals attempted (582) and double-figure scoring games (32).\nShe shot 42.6 percent from the field and 77.6 percent from the line.\nHer lineage includes the accomplishments of her mom, Tisha a track & field All-American in the heptathlon as a freshman at Tennessee in 1991. Her dad, Delino, spent 13 seasons playing Major League Baseball and now manages Pensacola's minor league team, while her brother, Delino Jr. was selected by the Houston Astros with the eighth overall pick in the 2010 MLB draft and is working his way through the minor leagues.\nShe had No. 10 all to herself his season at Tennessee, but will inherit No. 11 now that Cierra Burdick is done with it.\nHer UT lineage includes playing on world age-group championship teams for Basketball USA while being coached both times by Lady Vol Hall of Famer Jill Rankin (Schneider).\nThis article concludes the focus on SEC women\u2019s basketball until summer excursions and the start of next season.\nMel Greenberg will take us through the Final Four.\nThe same top teams \u2013 South Carolina, Tennessee and Mississippi State \u2013 will be the upper tier of next season, with Ole Miss likely to ascend to the second tier of the SEC.\nIt has been a fun year.\n\" Dulcius ex aspirus\"\nIt's a nice day to read\nIs this journalism or are you merely an extension of the Tenn AD's PR Dept? Tenn lost to the 4th 1 seed so that makes them the 8th ranked team. Dayton would be No. 5. And while DeShields is certainly a talented scorer her stats at UNC were no better than Simmons' were that year. And we know how far Tenn went with Simmons. Tenn is losing 3 senior starters. Anyone who thinks 3 new starters are going to just gel into as cohesive a unit as they had this year needs to remove their orange glasses and see reality.\nThe SEC is about 15 teams last I looked. I see another SEC team going to the FF but you spend your entire final report talking about Tenn? Makes me wonder about whether you are an SEC writer or just hyping the LV's?\ncar editing photoshop said...",

If one god (or group of them) wasn't getting you what you want... try another or several at the same time. Sure, there were the odd-ball religions who didn't do this (the Jews for example), but if you were relatively well behaved and towed the line... that was tolerated.\nEnter the Christians... who fell into that odd-ball category of NOT mixing and matching as everybody else did (inheriting that from the God of the Jews). At first, they were thought of as a Jewish sect and thus enjoyed the Roman sanctioned status of Judaism. But that would not last, in large part at the behest of the Jews of that time.\nSetting aside the fact that Christians were rounded up and killed in various manners. The manner and degree of persecution ebbed and flowed within the Roman Empire over time. Roman society sought to dissuade people from practicing their Christian faith and one such means was to prevent Christians from being able to work and make a living for themselves and their families; to prevent them from being able to enjoy the normal benefits of society.\nExamples include the following. 1) Trade unions would adopt a patron god. To work you had to belong to that union. To belong to that union, you had to pay homage to their god. 2) Government officials required citizens to make a token offering to Caesar; failure to do that ostracized the offending denizen to the point that it limited their ability to work, buy, sell, and function in society.",

        "raw_content": "Persuasive Writing Examples | Writing Articles\nAre you looking for persuasive writing examples? Here is an example essay written in the persuasive writing style. As you read the example, pay attention to the structure of the essay, as well as the words and phrases that are used to strengthen and reinforce the line of argument.\n\u2018Western countries would do well to establish governmental measures to promote the practice of using non-motorized vehicles\u2019. Discuss.\nThere is a constant question in society nowadays about the environmental and health risks caused by using motorized vehicles. In spite of public complaints about the excessive involvement of the government in our private lives, it is irrefutable that increasing regulatory measures by a certain amount would bring about benefits to society. This essay will discuss the supporters and detractors to this assertion, before arriving at a conclusion.\nThere is no doubt that countries using non-motorized transport as a norm have a better level of health in the general population. In Denmark, where most people cycle to work, it is reported that levels of heart disease and stroke are far lower than they are in other countries. Yet in spite of the health benefits, some would argue that the use of a bicycle as a means of transport must be a matter left to personal choice. We constantly hear objections from the public about \u2018nanny-state\u2019 policies that cause unnecessary governmental intervention and bureaucracy in our lives. They claim, the choice of whether or not to use an environmentally-friendly form of transport should be a matter of individual conscience. But we only have to consider the rising levels of environmental damage around the world to understand that personal choice and individual conscience as a means to improving the environment have, in fact, been ineffective thus far.\nOne only needs to look at certain remote villages in the Far East, where the aspect of personal choice has been removed because motorized vehicles do not exist, in order to see that levels of air pollution and other forms of environmental contamination are far less in these villages than in so-called \u2018developed\u2019 countries. Consider the converse case, for instance, in the United States, where a heavy reliance on motor vehicles has resulted in the US being one of the largest emitters of greenhouse gases in the world.\nTherefore, it is evident that a compromise needs to be reached in order to balance the limitations on personal freedom that can result from imposing governmental control over the issue, on the one hand, with addressing the very exigent concerns of cleaning up the world\u2019s environment and promoting healthy habits amongst its inhabitants, on the other. After all, it is often stated that personal freedom of choice is the cornerstone of any democratic society. Perhaps the best solution to the issue at hand is to have the government provide certain incentives to those who decide not to use motorized vehicles. For instance, the government could offer rebates or subsidies on bicycle purchases.\nAnother possible course of action would be to introduce certain governmental controls, but to establish those controls within very clear limits. Alternating car use by using the vehicle registration number has been an effective solution in certain countries. Under this scheme, car owners with odd-numbered registrations can use their vehicles on certain days of the week, while owners of vehicles ending in an even-number are permitted to use their vehicles only on the other days, and violating this policy would result in a fine or other sanctions. One thing is clear: whether by positive reinforcement, as in the first example, or by negative reinforcement as in the second, both remedies take into account the pressing concern of the state of the global environment, as well as protecting the need of the population for both personal health and individual freedom.\nPlease check our site often.

        "raw_content": "I know this is a post about Project Runway, but I HAVE to ask...do you watch Breaking Bad?? Where will you be on Sunday night at 9?? If the answer is anything other than \"watching AMC with a whiskey and Coke\" then I don't think we can be friends anymore. And seriously, if you don't watch it, get on Netflix and start at the beginning. And then kiss the next month of your life goodbye as you binge-watch until your eyes fall out.\nAs for PR...WHAT just happened?!\nThe color schemes of Dom and Bradon's fabrics.\nJustin's cute crush on Miss America.\nHelen's inability to get over prints was hard to hear, even in small doses. I can't imagine how annoying it was in the workroom. While I don't agree with Alexandria that she needs to \"be a man\" (uhhh...she's allowed to be a woman) Helen should have known that working with prints would likely happen at some point. It's Project Runway, if you can make a dress out of wallpaper then a print shouldn't be so terrifying.\nEven though I'm not a Helen fan, I liked Tim's pep talk with her. He always seems to know when to be hard on someone, and when to be encouraging.\nI liked Dom's dress, although I would never wear it. She definitely used the print the right way in the spirit of the challenge and deserved the win.\nKate's was SO BAD. I wish Micheal Kors had been there. I'm not always on board with her asthetic (a bit too fairy-princess for me) but this didn't even seem like her work. Alexandria's was a hot mess and looks even worse in still photographs, I can't figure out why she was safe.\n\"I'm so perplexed by this, I don't even have the words to express it.\" --Tim\nThe double elimination of Alexander and Kate was so weird. It felt very scripted, like they had decided ages ago that there would be one on this challenge, regardless of whether or not it was merited. Ken got how many passes on bad designs, Kate makes one (admittedly terrible) misstep and she's booted immediately? Kate deserved to show at Fashion Week, especially over Justin. I just don't get it.\nThe whole family is off to a wedding this weekend! AB gets to experience her first overnight with her grandparents, and the hubs and I get our first night away since she was born. Can't wait! Have a great weekend y'all!\nSarah Harris September 30, 2013 at 6:13 PM\nI've been watching PR religiously for years and I have started to believe the conspiracy theorists in the past two seasons. They all seem predetermined. Ken's tenure is a mystery--oh wait, he's so dramatic they needed to keep him around so they could say it's the most dramatic season yet. Alexandria is the real mystery. I predict she will go next week or after putting together a collection, but not make it to the final show.\nLast season, I was baffled by Patricia, seasons before it was Anya and Michael Costello. Scratching my head, but I'll keep watching!\nI'm with you, it's starting to get harder and harder to ignore the conspiracy theories! Timothy at the beginning of this season, Ken staying, Kate out...it's very weird.\nSo, 2 things; first, I have been killing myself trying to remember WHO in my blog roll does the fantastic PR recaps and it's YOU!! Yay!!! :)\nSecond, OH. MY. GOODNESS!!!! I had never watched Breaking Bad and now my husband and I have been watching it, starting at season 1. We're almost done with season 2. Not only is it a great show, as a chemist it just warms my heart! LOL!!! :)\nAww thank you!
